Desert Ride won the Canadian Oaks today for Sam-Son Farm. Her 2nd dam is Canadian champ Eye of the Sphynx.

Which makes Queen's Plate winner Eye of the Leopard her uncle.

And GSW Deceptive Vision her aunt. Lovely family. Desert Ride looks like a very good one for them!

Sire is Medaglia d'Oro.

Race 6 at Churchill was star studded. It was originally a turf race, but these guys braved the mud when it was taken off the turf.

The winner was Ry's the Guy, a son of English 1,000 Guineas winner Sleepytime by Distorted Humor.

In second was Felix the Fox, a son of MGSW Wine Princess (daugher of Azeri) by Tapit.

In third was Copper King, a half brother to Mine That Bird and Dullahan by Medaglia d'Oro.

In fifth (and last) was Shared Legacy, a full brother to Shared Belief.

Wow, thanks for pointing out that race, Mylute. Quite the lineup!

No word on whether he was gelded or what their plans are.

No gelding notification with the JC yet. He has gone to a sporthorse farm in Cali (http://www.templetonfarms.com/). They train, breed, and show sport horses. I'm guessing they're still letting him down and evaluating his strengths, etc. It's a beautiful facility.

My Sister Nat (FR), a 1/2 sister to champion Sistercharlie (IRE), is entered at Belmont on Saturday in Race 3 for her US debut. She was a G3 winner in France last year and, like her sister, was a private purchase by Peter Brant. He also owns the 2YO and 3YO from the mare, both purchased at auction. The 3YO, Sottsass (FR), won the G1 Prix du Jockey Club a couple of weeks ago.

[Mylute]

Souper Escape, by Medaglia d'Oro out if G1W Cry and Catch Me, won the Christiana Stakes.

Jubiloso, Frankel's "niece," runs in the Coronation S (G1) today at Royal Ascot.

She ran a good 3rd

Yay - I loved Tapitsfly; is this her first foal?

Yes.

Based on her JBIS page she was bred to Deep Impact and Orfevre, but didn't carry to term. Gran Alegria is her first to survive and race.

Tapitsfly died last March.

Blutgang, a grey colt ( by Deep Impact, Sunday Racing Co.) below, is her second to last (or perhaps, last?) progeny.

Blutgang, 2yo gr. colt, the last progeny of Tapitsfly, won his debut, 1800m turf, at Tokyo.

As was said to be quite different from his quick sister, Gran Alegria, he rather seems suited to middle distance races.
