Ticonderoga did nothing but Yoshida crossed the line first (over Lucullan, Bricks and Mortar, Frostmourne). There's an Inquiry though so we'll see if he stays up.

Looks like the results have gone official, with Yoshida still the winner.

Breeders' Futurity (G1) winner Free Drop Billy is a half-brother to Hawkbill.

It really took him a long time to get to his first graded title after consecutive narrow defeats.
I hope that he will improve his performance further from here.

Declarationofpeace won a 5f race at Dundalk on October 6. He was the 1/7 favorite (highweight @133). He must like the all weather surface at Dundalk, since both his wins have come at that track. He's now 6-2-0-1 lifetime.

I've included a link to the video (his is the 1st race): https://youtu.be/XXx5tYtUR30

It's 25 minutes to post for Kyoto 3R 1600m turf Newcomer.

So many blue-blooded 2yos make their debuts in this race.

Thanks. Too bad that TVG doesn't appear to be showing racing from Japan tonight. Too many claimers at Los Al, I guess.

Social Club has Iwata riding; Gold Kirsche has Mirco Demuro, Yutaka Take rides Mohammadi.

Woohoo! That was beautiful! Thanks for giving us the link so quickly.

Buena Vista has a filly old enough to race!? Man, I feel old.

It's cool when a world-class pedigree like Social Club's works out.

ETA: Pretty sure her name is an homage to the Cuban music group, Buena Vista Social Club. VERY cool.
