Cash is King LLC and Leonard Green's Jaywalk (Cross Traffic) stretched out all the way from 5 1/2 furlongs to a mile to capture the GI Frizette S. at Belmont Sunday, punching a "Win and You're In" ticket to the GI Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies starting gate and becoming the first graded stakes winner for her freshman sire (by Unbridled's Song). Hawked much of the way by heavily favored Covfefe (Into Mischief), the John Servis trainee proved resilient when that one faltered in the lane and bounded home to a...

A logical favorite and the longest shot on the board won Saturday's final pair of Grade I dirt stakes for 2-year-old males prior to the Breeders' Cup. With less than a month until the juvenile championship, those results represent a microcosm of the division itself--the obvious contenders are solid but not scare-away-the-competition kingpins, and there is no shortage of intriguing dark horses capable of punching through to assert themselves at the top of the crop. 'TDN Rising Star' Complexity (Maclean's Music) stepped up off a maiden win and stretched out...

Tanking her way through Sunday's G1 Qatar Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe in her inimitable style and toward immortality as the only British-trained dual winner of ParisLongchamp's monument, the even-money favourite Enable (GB) (Nathaniel {Ire}) was ultimately less impressive than at Chantilly 12 months ago but the line came just in time as compatriot Sea of Class (Ire) (Sea the Stars {Ire}) bore down late. Enjoying the perfect trip from her perfect draw, the perfect scenario was on the cards as soon as the record-holding five-times Arc hero Frankie Dettori...

Placed twice at Grade I level in what has been a busy 5-year-old campaign, Next Shares (Archarcharch) parlayed a clean, ground-saving trip into a 23-1 upset of a deep group of turf milers in the GI Shadwell Turf Mile, a 'Win and You're In' event for the GI Breeders' Cup Mile at Churchill Downs Nov. 4. Tyler Gaffalione, the Eclipse Award-winning apprentice jockey of 2015, is riding the entire fall meeting at Keeneland and was capping a remarkable seven-day stretch. The 24-year-old was tabbed by trainer Chad Summers to ride...

'TDN Rising Star' Complexity (Maclean's Music), representing the same Chad Brown/Klaravich Stables axis as last year's GI Preakness S. hero Cloud Computing (Maclean's Music), handled the stretch out to a mile with aplomb Saturday, powering home a 3 1/2-length winner of Belmont's GI Champagne S. Backed as the 5-2 favorite off a 4 1/4-length debut score sprinting at the Spa Sept. 3 that earned him a solid 90 Beyer Speed Figure and that was further flattered when third finisher King for a Day (Uncle Mo) came back to graduate himself...

Time passes and the clock is ticking. At a little after 4 p.m. on Sunday, racing's two-and-a-half minutes of truth will decide the future of the 19 participants in this year's G1 Qatar Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe. The Longines horloge that accompanies the winning post at ParisLongchamp waits patiently for the latest hero or heroine of arguably Europe--and possibly the world's-- greatest race. The Bois de Boulogne opens to receive an urban sea that will irrigate the newly revamped grandstands and walkways of the Routes Des Tribunes venue that...

Whereas the arguably superior Alpha Centauri (Ire) (Mastercraftsman {Ire}) has been and gone, John Dance's Laurens (Fr) (Siyouni {Fr}) is still churning out wins at the highest level and there was a fifth to celebrate in that category as the increasingly-formidable bay made virtually all in Saturday's G1 Kingdom of Bahrain Sun Chariot S. at Newmarket. Kept close company throughout by last year's G1 Prix Jean-Luc Lagardere and G1 Moyglare Stud S. heroine Happily (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}), the 11-4 favourite who had prevailed in another battle in Leopardstown's G1 Matron...

A leading bloodstock agent, making one of the more imperative farm visits before the Tattersalls October Sale, is scribbling notes on a fabulous yearling colt. He shakes his head and smiles. "It's almost enough to make you believe in genetics," he says. But it is not just a regal page that favours this colt. It would be hard for any Thoroughbred not to sparkle on such a day, in such a setting: this remote Hampshire valley enclosed by blue sky and hazy hills, their shadow creeping down towards the gleaming...

It has been fully two decades since Silverbulletday (Silver Deputy) became the most recent winner of the GI Darley Alcibiades S. (then a Grade II event) to double up in the GI Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies, but 'TDN Rising Star' Restless Rider (Distorted Humor) will enter this year's test with every chance to snap that streak following a comprehensive 2 1/2-length success on opening day of the fall meet at Keeneland. Taking full advantage of her low draw in gate three and adding Lasix for this first attempt at two...

Chantilly's undisputed master trainer Andre Fabre was holding court on Friday as he pondered his three-pronged challenge for an eighth G1 Qatar Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe. When it comes to preparing a Thoroughbred for this particular peak, his knowledge has no equal and it is 'TDN Rising Star' Waldgeist (GB) (Galileo {Ire}) who looks the strongest of his high-achieving trio made up of Godolphin's Cloth of Stars (Ire) (Sea the Stars {Ire}) and Talismanic (GB) (Medaglia d'Oro). Waldgeist brings German influence to the race, with Gestut Ammerland and Newsells...

NEWMARKET, UK—A four-legged equivalent of millionaires' row is perhaps the best way to describe John Gosden's first lot as the select group of horses completed two easy canters up Newmarket's Warren Hill on Friday morning. First came a batch of fillies which included 'TDN Rising Star's Coronet {GB} (Dubawi {Ire}) and Lah Ti Dar (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}) and Enable (GB) (Nathaniel {Ire}), who today will board the horsebox that will carry her through the Channel Tunnel for an overnight stop at Chantilly before another short van ride on Sunday morning...

The leading North American-based sires of Grade l winners this year are Quality Road (five), War Front (four), and English Channel (four). The latter might seem out of place among the other two, but he's a successful stallion at Calumet Farm who's flown under the radar for a long time, and his time in the sun might be now. Within a span of 20 minutes last Saturday, for example, three sons of English Channel (Smart Strike--Belva, by Theatrical {Ire}) won a maiden special weight, a listed stakes race, and a...
