Go for the Summit(JPN), a Heart's Cry 3yo colt 1/2 to Shonan Mighty(JPN), won the G2 Aoba Sho (Japanese Derby trial) 2400m turf at Tokyo on April 28th 2018.
Go for the Summit and the runner-up Etario(JPN) (Stay Gold x Hot Cha Cha) will go to the Derby.
There were so many blue-blooded colts in this race.

-- replay of the Aoba Sho, a trial race for the Japanese Derby, from which the winner & the runner-up earn automatic berths into the latter.

Very nice tachyon, I am sure this makes the upcoming renewal of the Tokyo Yushun even more exciting for long time Japanese race fans!

[BaroqueAgain1]

Labeq (Tapit X Life Is Sweet) is running in the upcoming 5th at Belmont, a 1-mile MSW in the turf for 3yo + up. There are a lot of well-bred horses in this race, including two other Tapits.
ETA: Labeq was 3rd. The winner was Commandeering (Bodemeister x Juliette Ava/MdO).

[BaroqueAgain1]

Rumpus Cat (Street Sense x Sweet Catomine) will be running in the 8th at Santa Anita, a MSW for 3+up on the downhill turf course.

[mariasmon]

Wooderson (Awesome Again), a 3YO 1/2 brother to Rachel Alexandra, debuts Sunday in the 10th at GP.

He was a green, but encouraging 2nd.

[Miss Woodford]

Daddy in the Dark (Bernardini x Appealing Zophie, 1/2 to Tapwrit) is entered in the Virginia Gold Cup this Saturday! He's probably outclassed in that field though, and he's being asked to go 4 miles for the first time.

^^^^
Now that deserves to be in the "Terrible names for horses" thread.

[tachyon]

Tanino Frankel(JPN), C3 Frankel x Vodka, is set to run in the G2 Kyoto Shimbun Hai 2200m turf at Kyoto today.
He might have to win this race to secure his starting gate in the upcoming Japanese Derby.
It seems that he goes today as the second choice of the public.

[tachyon]

Tanino Frankel(JPN) (#5), who stumbled at the gate, was last in the G2 Kyoto Shimbun Hai.
The race was won by Stay Foolish(JPN), 2015C. Stay Gold(JPN) x Kauai Lane(JPN) by King Kamehamaha, who is qualified for the Japanese Derby.

1st. (#13) Stay Foolish(JPN) C3 Stay Gold(JPN) x Kauai Lane(JPN)
2nd. (#8) Admire Alba(JPN) C3 Heart's Cry(JPN) x Eridu Babylon(USA)
3rd. (#15) Chardoney Gold(JPN) C3 Stay Gold(JPN) x Self Preservation(USA)

Stay Gold(JPN) has now sired his graded stakes winner for 13 generations in a row.
It's really a shame that he passed away too early... before he was given best group of mares.

[Treve]

It really is a shame but hopefully that means his best sons will see the best mares.
A shame about Tanino Frankel though, nothing more frustrating than watching a horse kills its own chances right at the start

Threeandfourpence in the American Turf is a full brother to BC Juvenile Turf (G1) winner Hit It A Bomb and G1 winner Brave Anna.

Mendy's travelling companion who was last seen finishing second to him on all weather and dead last in Dubai... don't think he liked the brown stuff. Hopefully he gets a bounce back on his preferred surface!

[tachyon]

Tale of Silence(USA), 2014C. Tale of the Cat(USA) x Silence Beauty(JPN) by Sunday Silence(USA), scored his first graded victory in the G3 Westchester I mile dirt at Belmont Park on May 5th 2018.
He is a full brother to Tale of Ekati(USA).

Daddy in the Dark (Bernardini x Appealing Zophie, 1/2 to Tapwrit) is entered in the Virginia Gold Cup this Saturday! He's probably outclassed in that field though, and he's being asked to go 4 miles for the first time.

Well, he did beat one horse.

Also on the card:
Set to Music (Dynaformer x Pussycat Doll) finished 2nd in a maiden hurdle.
Renown(IRE) (1/2 to Famous Name) won the Secretariat Stakes, an NSA Flat race. Titanium Heart (1/2 to Proctors Ledge) finished 9th in the race.

[ThreeMustangs]

3yof Lah Ti Dar just won the Pretty Polly S at Newmarket. She’s by Dubawi out of Dar Re Mi.

In the hubbub of Derby day, missed that Magical Spell (Jpn) (Creative Cause x Proud Spell) won for the fourth time in nine starts Saturday at Tokyo. Won by impressive 7L in fast time https://youtu.be/CNTanEBzF7s @CormacCB @AirdrieStud

[Starine]

Thanks for posting that. Magical Spell was very impressive.

[tachyon]

Yes, he was very impressive indeed!

That was his three straight win and we should see him in the stakes company next.

[FlyToTheStars]

there is word floating on facebook that Zenyatta aborted her foal. It is because Equineline mentioned it and it is said to be not always correct.
