Royal Palm Juvenile Fillies

Strada Del Sogno (Street Boss), who topped the Fasig-Tipton June Digital Sale Tuesday on a final bid of $150,000, will ship north to join the Elkin Family Racing string in Kentucky racing for trainer Genevieve Londono. Consigned by Taylor Made Sales, the filly, from the family of 3-year-old champion filly Questing (GB) (Hard Spun), debuted running third in the Royal Palm Juvenile Fillies at Gulfstream Park May 10 behind Royal Ascot-bound Lennilu (Leinster). "We just got to see her race that one time," said Dwayne Elkin, who operates Elkin Family...

When it comes to American trainers winning races at Royal Ascot, Wesley Ward has no equal. He's won 12 races there. But he might want to look over his shoulder as there's another American trainer intent on winning races at the prestigious meet. In 2023, George Weaver won the G2 Queen Mary Stakes with Crimson Advocate (Nyquist) for his first Royal Ascot winner. This year, he'll be back with Sandal's Song (Mendelssohn), the winner of last Saturday's Royal Palm Juvenile at Gulfstream. The Royal Palm is a qualifier race for...

Having resisted the urge to take up an assignment at Royal Ascot after making a successful racecourse debut in the May 11 Royal Palm Juvenile Turf, D J Stable's Bullet  (War Front) switched to a synthetic surface for Saturday's My Dear S. and posted an equally eyecatching success. Drawn gate seven, the $425,000 Keeneland September yearling raced in a share of fourth and four off the inside into the turn. Forced to concede ground as Carlisle Bay began to get away at the five-sixteenths, Bullet easily gathered that one up...

Though she won the May 11 Royal Palm Juvenile Fillies S. at Gulfstream, which qualifies the winner for a trip to the Royal Ascot meeting, Bullet (War Front) will be staying in North America, reports D J Stable's General Manager Jon Green. Horses that win the Royal Palm Juvenile Fillies or the Royal Palm Juvenile S. are offered an automatic berth into a 2-year-old stakes at Royal Ascot plus a $25,000 travel allowance. Gabaldon (Gone Astray), the winner of the Royal Palm division for colts, will make his next start...

A rocket ship late in the lane, aptly-named Bullet (War Front--Marlinspike, by Tapit) flew home to win the Royal Palm Juvenile Fillies S. and earned a trip to Royal Ascot in the process. Debuting for Mark Casse and D J Stable and off a step slow, the grey sat off the speed in seventh as 44-1 longshot You Need Me (St. Patrick's Day) rolled through :22.01 and :44.84 splits. Four wide passing the five-sixteenths, she swung even farther out coming for home and uncorked a rally which sailed her in...
