Canadian champion Dresden Row (Lord Nelson) is among the 248 entries for Fasig-Tipton's January Digital Sale with bidding now running through Tuesday, Jan. 20, beginning at 2 p.m. ET., the auction company said via a press release on Thursday.
Named the top 3-year-old colt at the Sovereign Awards in 2024, Dresden Row has never been out of the money across 15 races and claims three graded stakes at Woodbine amid six wins. Last out, the chestnut captured the GIII Autumn Cup Stakes at Woodbine, which put him at nearly $450,000 in career earnings.

La Route des Etalons returns next week when, as ever, you can bet your bottom dollar that bloodstock enthusiasts won't be able to resist straying slightly off the beaten track to view the seven-strong roster at Haras d'Etreham.
Situated roughly an hour west of Deauville, a fair distance from most of the other farms participating in the two-day extravaganza, Etreham has a long history of standing stallions, with a certain Wootton Bassett featuring among its famous residents of yesteryear. In 2014 and 2015, the privilege of sending a mare to Wootton Bassett at Etreham would have set you back just €4,000, a far cry from the €300,000 fee he commanded in his fifth season at Coolmore in 2025.
Though his own day-to-day involvement with the son of Iffraaj had long since passed, Etreham's Nicolas de Chambure came in for plenty of plaudits when the tragic loss of Wootton Bassett was announced in September last year, with a statement from Coolmore hailing the “incredible start”...
Ka Ying Rising has been crowned Timeform's 2025 horse of the year. David Hayes's sprinting superstar became Timeform's highest-rated horse in training when achieving a rating of 135 for a facile victory on his return to action this season in the Chief Executive's Cup, where he gave multiple Group race-winning sprinters significant amounts of weight.
The son of Shamexpress also received a second award, being named Timeform's Champion Sprinter. Following his reappearance in September he went on to land the global sprint showpiece, The Everest, at Randwick in October before returning to Sha Tin to defend his G1 Hong Kong Sprint crown at the Hong Kong International Races.
On receiving the award at Sha Tin, David Hayes said, “It's been a perfect season for Ka Ying Rising. He keeps stepping up and improving, he just absorbs so much pressure so easily and puts the race away – he's a freak.
“He has a massive stride and how fast he can go just takes...

Award-winning broadcaster Nick Luck brought new meaning to the term big Down Under by purchasing two fillies alongside trainers Gai Waterhouse and Adrian Bott at the Magic Millions Gold Coast Yearling Sale on behalf of a newly-formed syndicate.
The first filly was lot 840, a Russian Revolution filly purchased for A$240,000. Beautifully bred, she is out of the three-time Group-winning and Group 1-placed mare Spanish Reef (Lope De Vega), and was offered by Rosemont Stud.
“It's my first involvement with a horse in Australia, and I'm thrilled to be a part of it, and also delighted to be teaming up with Gai and Adrian,” Luck said.
“I've known Emma Coleman for a while, and quite often said I wouldn't mind a small share, just to dip my toe in the water here. And this escalated last night over dinner. Nothing was planned until close to midnight, when I said to Emma, 'Come on, have you got...
Champion sprinter Bradsell has sired his first reported foal, a filly out of the Iffraaj mare Lady Eleanor. The dam is a daughter of stakes producer Firenze (Efisio).
“We are delighted with Lady Eleanor's first foal by Bradsell,” said breeder Jan Hopper. “She is a quality filly with plenty of strength and size, and as good a foal as the mare has produced.”
A three-time Group 1-winning sprinter, the son of Tasleet stands for £10,000 at The National Stud (TNS) in Newmarket.
Anna Kerr, CEO of TNS, said, “Bradsell's temperament and tenacity are second to none. He had an excellent first book of mares with a high percentage of stakes performers and producers, along with multiple dams of 2yo winners. It is fantastic to see the quality coming through in his foals, the future looks very bright for him.”
AMERICAN SUMMER (f, 3, Constitution–Speaktomeofsummer {GSW, $266,185}, by Summer Front) was bumped by her competition heading out of the gates, and had to settle near the rear of the field as they went into the bend behind an opening quarter in :22.46. On the move after a half in :46.34, she was rallying between runners at the head of affairs but had real estate to make up in the lane. Shifting inside and relentlessly closing the distance, American Summer struck the front with enough time to put 1 1/4 lengths on American Tapit (American Pharoah) by the time they hit the line.
The first foal to...

Trainer Jim Goldie was awarded the Timeform Special Recognition Award at the Timeform Flat Awards. He won his first Group 1 with American Affair (Washington DC) in the King Charles III Stakes at Royal Ascot last June. Goldie also became the first Scottish-based trainer to break 100 winners in the calendar year.
“I think we got lucky with American Affair, because the Sunday Series [in 2024] was the making of him,” Goldie told Timeform's Dan Barger. “Although we didn't do it [win the bonus] we came close and it gave him plenty of time to mature between his races, and then he went on to win the Portland. I always felt after winning the King Charles III at Ascot it was job done.”
The likeable gelding is on the recovery trail, according to Goldie. A trip to America was also scuppered after his injury.
He said, “He's back on the gallop. Because of what he was and where he was, we took no chances – he came out of winning at Ascot and he wasn't...
