Any concerns about whether or not she was still Queen of the Hill were dispelled Friday as Nitrogen (Medaglia d'Oro) dominated the GI Ogden Phipps Stakes, earning a guaranteed berth into the GI Breeders' Cup Distaff while she was at it.
A lot was said about Nitrogen's defeat last out Apr. 11 in the GI Apple Blossom Stakes behind the late Claret Beret (Not This Time), and that came on the heels of a third-place finish Mar. 7 in the GII Azeri Stakes. She'd never missed the board on the main track against some of the best fillies and mares in training since swapping surfaces, but more than a few observers were convinced that she was not a fan of the dirt tracks.
Trainer Mark Casse went on record after the race by confidently proclaiming, “I just want to officially say, I'm tired of hearing everybody say she doesn't like the dirt.”...
Having earlier registered his seventh training victory in the GII Wonder Again Stakes courtesy of Fitz Right (Charlatan), Klaravich Stables' lightly raced Portfolio Duration (GB) (f, 4, Night of Thunder {Ire}–Shemya {Fr}, by Dansili {GB}) took command from the opening bell of Friday's GI New York Stakes and never relinquished the lead, just holding off French raider Cankoura (Fr) (Persian King {Ire}) to give Brown his sixth win in the 9 1/2-furlong contest.
It was a second graded winner on the card for Klaravich and Brown, who annexed the GII Bed O' Roses Stakes for the second straight year with 'TDN Rising Star' Ways and Means (Practical Joke), and a third for jockey Flavien Prat, who was also aboard Fitz Right....
SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. – A star is born at the Spa.
West Point Thoroughbreds's Counting Stars (Honor A. P.), third behind 'TDN Rising Star, presented by Hagyard' Always a Runner (Gun Runner) in the GI Kentucky Oaks, turned the tables on the previously undefeated 4-5 favorite with a spectacular performance in Friday's GI DraftKings Acorn S. at Saratoga.
With Irad Ortiz, Jr. taking over the controls from Francisco Arrieta, the 9-2 chance raced under a snug hold on the inside in third as the longest shot on the board Maximum Offer (Maxfield) led the field of five through fractions of :23.41 and :47.73. Back a spot into fourth on the far turn, Ortiz, Jr. tipped Counting Stars out at...
Michael Dubb, William H. Lawrence, The Elkstone Group and Michael Kisber's Fitz Right (Charlatan) remained perfect in three starts at three in 2026, sitting a clean trip in clear air before powering past favored Lion Lake (Ire) (Dark Angel {Ire}) to take Friday's GII Wonder Again Stakes on day two of the Belmont Stakes Racing Festival at Saratoga. It was a record-extending seventh victory and fourth in the last five runnings for trainer Chad Brown in the Wonder Again, first contested in 2014.
The narrow 3-1 second choice, Fitz Right was away without incident from gate two and was a forward factor for the opening few strides, but she was content to come back to Flavien Prat and sit third, as last-out Hilltop Stakes heroine Coach Mazzula (Authentic) matched motors with the 6-5 chalk through moderate fractions of :24.42...
Eric Guillot, whose 30-year career included several Grade I wins but came to an abrupt end in 2021 after a racist incident, died June 4 at a health and rehabilitation center in Magnolia, Arkansas. He was 64 years old.
The news was posted on the website of the R. L. Reed Funeral Home in Magnolia.
Guillot started his career in 1991, sending out two runners with no winners. Over 30 years, he would go on to send out 2,348 starters with 259 winners and over $13 million in earnings.
His biggest earner and most successful horse was Moreno, who won the 2014 Grade I Whitney at Saratoga Stakes, upsetting Palice Malice. He had finished second at 30-1 in the Travers Stakes the prior year and retired with earnings of almost $3 million. Guillot also trained Laoban, the upset winner of the Grade 2 Jim Dandy Stakes while still a maiden; Champagne d'Oro, who won...

Money Game (Candy Ride {Arg}–Miss Bling Bling, by Tapit) won on debut at Oaklawn Park in March of last year, then the chestnut cleared an optional claimer over course and distance in early May. Heading to the sidelines, the colt returned to action with a win at Fair Grounds Mar. 19.
The 5-2 second choice here was squeezed at the break, but Money Game was able to take up a spot to the outside in the second flight by the first turn. Waiting to pounce up the backstretch, the 4-year-old made a three-wide around the far turn and began to target leader Bourbon Day (Race Day) into the lane. Money Game dug down deep, collared the pacesetter in the final jumps and outlasted a late challenge from Bendoog (...

“I feel honored that Frank and the Santa Anita team invited me back out this weekend,” Aiello said. “The Great Race Place is aptly named and I can't wait to get back to the booth. It's a great change of pace for me and always a challenge.”

SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. – It was suggested to trainer Brad Cox that Commandment (Into Mischief) was a forgotten horse coming into the 158th running of the $2-million GI Belmont Stakes.
“Not with me,” Cox said at his office on the Oklahoma Training Track.
Then a pause and a smile.
“But I know what you mean,” he said. “I don't know if he is or not (forgotten). All I know is that he is doing well. I have liked his works since the Derby; I liked how he shipped up here and how he has moved over the main track. I think we are going to get a big effort out of him.”
Commandment was expected to be a major player in the GI Kentucky Derby as he was sent off at odds of 6.18-1, fourth choice behind stablemate Further Ado (Gun Runner), Renegade (Into Mischief) and So Happy (Runhappy).
He finished seventh but beaten only 5 1/4 lengths. Cox had been...

Carrying the colors of Baoma Corp. and also owned by Mrs. John Magnier, Michael Tabor and Derrick Smith, the 5-year-old looks to become the third winner of the prestigious event for trainer Bob Baffert (Mor Spirit, 2017; National Treasure, 2024) and, barring any mishaps from gate one in the Wilson Chute,...
