Going forward, HISA will no longer send regular rulings reports to press via email, but rather will keep the rulings site up to date so media and the public have access to the latest information in real time. 

Bidding will open Nov. 17 at noon ET. Bidding will close Nov. 22 at 2 p.m. ET.

The sale has drawn 24 entries, with horses of racing age, in-foal broodmares, racing/broodmare prospects, yearlings, and weanlings on offer.

According to her trainer Chad Brown, the 6-year-old daughter of Animal Kingdom is expected to run in the Dec. 4 Matriarch Stakes (G1T) at Del Mar. She won that race last year by 2 1/2 lengths over Zofelle. 

The undefeated son of Tapit will have a first book of around 150 mares, including five or six owned by Japanese breeders who are keeping their mares in Kentucky until after they are in foal to Flightline and then send them overseas.

Trainer Danny Gargan will saddle a pair of formidable contenders in Dakota Gold and Riot House in the $135,000 Gio Ponti Stakes, a 1 1/16-mile outer turf route for sophomores Nov. 19  at Aqueduct Racetrack.

The American Graded Stakes Committee has reviewed the off-the-turf renewal of the Nov. 13 River City Handicap and has determined that the original grade 3 status will not be reinstated.

The sole graded winner in the $300,000 Chilukki Stakes (G3) is OXO Equine’s Center Aisle, who is 5 for 11, a record topped by a victory in the six-furlong Sugar Swirl Stakes (G3) at Gulfstream Park in December 2021.

Philipp Stauffenberg will be hoping the strength of this year’s yearling market can be maintained into 2023 having pinhooked the top lot at the Goffs November Foal Sale on Wednesday for a cool €550,000.

Kentucky Derby (G1) winner Rich Strike is poised to return to racing action later this month over his preferred track surface at Churchill Downs.
