9th-DMR, $63K, Msw, 2yo, 6f, 9:10 p.m. EDT Doug O'Neill and Calumet Farm team up with blue-blooded firster TERM OF ART (Tiznow), a $220,000 Keeneland September yearling buy out of a full-sister to GISW Mr. Sidney. The colt's second dam is MGISW Tomisue's Delight (A.P. Indy), who is out of MGISW and 2003 Broodmare of [...]

It will be no walkover for America's richest racehorse in his long-awaited return to the states, as the GII San Diego H. came up tougher than most could have imagined. California Chrome (Lucky Pulpit), last seen in the western hemisphere Jan. 9 when he notched a workmanlike victory in Santa Anita's GII San Pasqual S., [...]

Stays in Vegas (City Zip) and Be Mine (Twirling Candy) were separated by a dime in price as the top two choices in the GII Honeymoon S. June 19 and will likely be the public's preferred pair again in the GII San Clemente H. Several new shooters, however, will present challenges as 11 3-year-old turf [...]

It may have a small field, but there appears to be big potential in the five-horse Saturday co-feature GIII Sanford S., led by a pair of recently minted 'TDN Rising Stars' going head-to-head. Joseph W. Sutton's Bitumen (Mineshaft) will break from the outside and comes in off of a highly impressive 6 3/4-length romp in [...]

There's a female turf runner who captured a Grade I over males at Keeneland and shipped overseas to tackle Royal Ascot last out who will make her stateside return at Saratoga as the favorite in the GI Diana S. No, it's not champion turf mare Tepin (Bernstein), but a filly who might soon be hot [...]

With 11 career victories, including nine stakes tallies, and a narrow second in the GI Twinspires Breeders' Cup Turf Sprint to her name, it's hard to believe Lady Shipman (Midshipman) has yet to register a graded stakes triumph. That is the plight of a female turf sprinter, however, as the opportunities just aren't there, so [...]

Chad Brown will look to capture the GI United Nations S. for the third time in four years, and will bring a three-pronged attack of new faces into the annual 4th of July weekend feature. Ken and Sarah Ramsey's Big Blue Kitten (Kitten's Joy), who carried Brown to U.N. glory in both 2013 and 2015, [...]

A baker's dozen of Canadian-bred 3-year-olds will take on a new challenge in the 10-furlong Queen's Plate, the crown jewel of the country's racing season, with many near the top in a muddled division looking for a breakout performance. Slight morning-line favoritism lies with Ivan Dalos' Amis Gizmo (Giant Gizmo), who has spent his whole [...]

Take a look at the top of the current Belmont Park spring/summer meeting jockey standings and you'll quickly recognize a few common threads. For one, Jose Ortiz (63 wins), Irad Ortiz, Jr. (43) and Manny Franco (43) are all under 24 years old. More importantly to Angel Cordero, Jr. though, they're all natives of Puerto [...]

Contention runs deep in the Grade II Honeymoon S., as evidenced by the morning line favorite being set at 7-2 and no runner pegged higher than 12-1 in the 10-horse, Grade II Honeymoon S. Stays in Vegas (City Zip) owns the top resume in the field, having won five of seven career starts and running [...]

Undefeated 'TDN Rising Star' Unified (Candy Ride {Arg}) has come a long way in just three starts. From graduating first-out with a sharp six-furlong win in blazing time Feb. 21 at Gulfstream, to wiring the seven-panel GIII Bay Shore S. at Aqueduct Apr. 9, to conquering his stiffest test last out in Belmont's GII Peter [...]

These days, nearly all Grade I races for fillies and mares on the grass go through champion Tepin, but with the daughter of Bernstein shipping across the pond to try to conquer Royal Ascot, opportunity suddenly knocks for 13 distaff turfers in the $700,000 Grade I Just A Game S. Mr. and Mrs. William K. [...]
