Jack Kennedy, Irish champion jockey, rode four of Elliott's winners.

Gavin Cromwell, another top Irish trainer, brought one horse to Far Hills and finished second to Elliott's horse in the $250,000 Grand National,

Elliott's horses won a total of $387,000 in purse money, making it quite a worthwhile trip.

"When you come over here, it's good to win just one race," said Elliott. "This is icing on the cake. We brought a nice bunch of horses."

Not only did the Irish horses win, they all won convincingly, with all but one winning by over 3 lengths. 

Two of them will be staying in this country, Chortal (GB), the winner of the Four Year Old Hurdle Stakes, and Coutach (GB), winner of  the Novice Hurdle Stakes. 

Chortal, owned by Erdenheim Farm Thoroughbreds, with American owners will stay here, and Del Rio Racing is in the process of buying Coutach for trainer Ricky Hendriks.

Teddy Davies rode Gentleman de Reve to place sixth at Pardubicka

PARDUBICKA, Czechia--Teddy Davies on Gentleman de Reve placed sixth in the Velke Parducka, the 4 3/4 mile most challenging steeplechase in the world.

Stumptown and Gentleman de ReveStumptown, the winner, and Gentleman de Reve, the grey over the fourth fence, the texis Last year, Davies was the first American ever to ride in the Parducka, and this year he is now the first ever not only to finish the race but also earn a place on the podium, reserved for the top eight finishers.

It's a crazy race," said Davies, 21, a senior at Delaware University majoring in business. "There are so many fences you never see in this country, and 40 percent of it is over plowed fields."

The course includes huge hedges, and one, the fourth fence,the Texis, has a huge, wide ditch on the landing side, water jumps, an in and out and banks along with hurdles and steeplechase fences.

"There's a huge ditch after the texis, and the hedge is so big you can't see over it, even sitting on top of a horse," said Davies. "You have to get up as much speed as possible going into it so that you have the momentum to get over it." 

"We got there on Thursday.and I walked the course Friday," said Davies, who traveled to Parducka with his father Joe. "I rode Gentleman de Reve for the first time Saturday and skipped over a couple of hedges on him."

"More horses get taken out by loose horses or fallers, so I wanted to get a good start in the race," he said. "I wanted to get out in front, and I knew my horses is a good jumper. I kept him tucked in the rest of the race."

Mark Beecher as trainer and Virginia Korrell as jockey dominated Genesee Valley

GENESEO, N.Y.--Armata Stable's Crealion, trained by  Tom Garner and ridden by Virginia Korrell was disqualified on Saturday, Oct. 11 due to not weighing out at the correct weight at the Genesee Valley Hunt Races.

Crealion ridden by Virginia KorellCrealion ridden by Virginia KorellThen 48 hours later the National Steeplechase Association Stewards Advisory Committee ruled that the disqualification of the horse was not warranted.  

"When i weighed out, I was one-tenth of a pound under," said Korrell. "It used to be that jockeys were allowed a half pound leeway, but that was changed this year. Tom argued the decision and it was changed."

Originally, it was announced that South Branch Equine's Master Seville, ridden by Nevin, won the $15,000 Amateur or Apprentice Rider Timber by 5 1/4 lengths in 5:40 3/5 over Project Two (Ire), trained by Leslie Young, and Rhyhmia, trained by McKenna.

The Steward's ruling reinstated Crealion, and dropped Master Sevile to second and Project Two to third.

With that ruling, it meant that Korrell had ridden two winners, Crealion and The Butler Yates in the Timber Stakes and a second placed horse, Hey Teacher..

 "Crealion has run about 35 times," said Korrell. "Tom got him last year, and I rode him in some races. Then he wasn't himself this spring, so we gave him the summer off. He's a nice horse, and he jumped really well." 

The Butler Yates, owned by Greenlights, trained by Young and ridden by Korrell, won the $25,000, 3 1/2 mile Timber Stakes by 3/4 length in 6:54 2/3 over Goodoldtimes, trained by Beecher, and Hard Games, trained by Neilson.

"I rode and schooled The Butler Yates quite a lot when I worked for Leslie."said Korrell. "He's very uncomplicated now. He used to be quirky, when he came over from Ireland. He used to be very slow over the fences, but that was the best he's ever jumped."

Keys Discount and Ethics won the two Stakes at the Virginia Fall Races

MIDDLEBURG, Va.--Jack Fisher trained horses that again dominated in a steeplechase meet, this time at the Virginia Fall Races on Saturday, Oct. 11.

Ethics takes jump early in OKeefe 31Ethics ridden by Freddie Procter (Photo by Tod Marks)Fisher had three winners, including in both Stakes, and had horses finish first, second and third in the Three-Year-Old Hurdle Stakes.

Riverdee Stable's Ethics, ridden by Freddie Procter, won the $50,000, 2 1/8 mile Will O'Keefe Memorial Three-Year-Old Stakes by 2 lengths in 4:06 45 over Scorpius and Cooper, both also trained by Fisher.

Mrs. John R.S. Fisher's Keys Discount, ridden by Graham Watters, won the $50,000, 3 1/4 mile National Sporting Library & Museum Timber Stakes by 10 1/4 lengths in 6:38 over Marcel Magic (Ire), trained by Kathy Neilson, and Wagner (ire), trained by Todd Wyatt.

Fisher's third winner was Potus, another owned by Riverdee Stable,and ridden by Watters, who won the $20,000, 3 mile Maiden Timber by 4 1/4 lengths in 5:37 2/5 over Glencorrib Sky (Ire), trained by Leslie Young and Total Joy (Ire), also trained by Young.

Ethics was bred and raced by Calumet as a 2- and 3-year old with only one third place finish from four starts,

"I watched him race as a 2-year-old at Kentucky Downs," said Sean Clancy, syndicate manager of Riverdee Stable. "He fell out of the gate and was far behind, but he finished 10 when he should have been dead last. I thought right then he'd make a jumper. He certainly had the pedigree."

Russell Jones' syndicate's Barnavera won Prix de l'Opera

UNIONVILLE, Pa.--Barnavera (Ire), owned by Alpha Racing, a small Irish syndicate that includes Russell Jones of Unionville, won the G1 Prix de l'Opera in France on Sunday, Oct. 5.

"We bought her two years ago as a yearling for 85,000 Euros," said Jones. "She won as a 2-year-old and a 3-year-old. She's now won a G3, a G2 and a G1. This was her first race outside of Ireland."

Alpha Racing is a small syndicate that operates in Ireland.

"We started the syndicate about five or six years ago," said Jones. "We started it after my good friend Johnny Harrington died. A group of his friends got together to start the syndicate. There's between 15 and 20 in the syndicate every year."

The favored Snap Decision, owned by Bruton Street-US and also trained by Fisher, finished fifth. 

"Cool Jet came to me from Pat Doyle as a 6-year-old, and he's been sterling ever since," said Sean Clancy, head of the Rverdee syndicate. "He's a hard trying over-achiever."

Cool Jet has run 12 times for Riverdee Stable with five wins, three seconds, a third and two fourths after racing in England and Ireland as a 4- and 5-year old.

"He'll run next a the G2 at the International Gold Cup," said Clancy. "It depends on how he does there where he goes after that. He's not gong to Far Hills. The 2 5/8 mile race would be too far for him."

Fisher was unavailable for comment as he was in hospital following a fall.

Graham Motion, Jack Fisher, Keri Brion, Liz Merryman and Michael Matz have winners

FAIR HILL, Md.--Over the past month, Graham Motion has had 11 winners, including five stakes winners, Jack Fisher had  $170,000 Maiden winner, Keri Brion and Liz Merryman had four winners each, and Michael Matz had a winner.

Jack Fisher Fair Hill 2Jack Fisher Fisher saddled Bruton Street-US' The Jackal, ridden by Forest  Boyce, to win a $170.000, 1 1/2 mile Maiden Special Weight turf race at Kentucky Downs by 3/4 length on Aug. 31.

The Jackal, a 5-year-old by Medaglio D'Oro out of a Tapit mare.was trained by Chug McGaughey for Woodford Racing from July 2024 to October, 2024 with one second and one third in maiden special weight races, and then was purchased by Bruton Street to become a steeplechase horse.

Fisher ran him over hurdles at Colonial Downs on Aug. 7, and he won.

"He can't jump," said Fisher despite his win. "He won that race, but I thought he was going to fall over every fence on the backside."

So Fisher entered him on the flat and won the $170,000 Maiden Special Weight at Kentucky Downs.

"He's in the field now" said Fisher. "Then when we bring him back up, we'll teach him how to jump this winter."

When The Jackal does learn how to jump,  he looks like he'll be another powerhouse for Fisher and Bruton Street.

Successful Fair Hill Races leads to plans for additonal meets

ELKTON, Md--Officials have declared the Fair Hill Races on Aug. 30 to have been a success and say that there will be another meet over Memorial Day weekend.

Fair Hill turf course 1Fair Hill turf course "We were thrilled with the day," said George Mahoney, Chairman of the Maryland Racing Commission.

"This was a good first step," said Joe Clancy, a member of Sports Corp., the group that organized the meet. "We puposely didn't have any jump races. We didn't want to compete against Colonial Downs or Saratoga or hurt their entries. We held the number of entries to eight in the interest of safety, and we didn't charge admission."

"We got a good crowd, and I think that the people that came had a good time," said Clancy. "The total betting handle was $56,5503. The total handle is always going to be small, and that never was a money maker, but it's a tradition to have betting. In the old days the handle was around $200,00, but 75 percent of that goes back to the betters and 25 percent is divided between the races, which pay all the expense of betting, and the Maryland Dept. of Natural Resources."

Taylor Kingsley won two races at the first meet held at Fair Hill in six years

ELKTON, Md.--Recently turned professional Taylor Kingsley rode two winners as racing returned to the Fair Hill turf course on Saturday, Aug, 30 after six long years. 

Taylor KingsleyTaylor Kingsley (File photo)The day, which featured six flat turf races, all without a starting gate but with para-mutual betting, was very successful despite a few minor glitches.

Kingsley won both divisions of the $20,000, 1 mile and five furlongs Starter Allowance, one for Tom Garner and one for her father Arch Kingsley.

Garner saddled Bonita Farm's Fightnomoreforever to win by 1 3/4 lengths over Fenwick, trained by Garner, and Mortal Sin trained by Danielle Hodsdon.

"Fightnomoreforever was a professional," said Kingsley. "He really didn't need me at all. When a hole opened up on the turn, I didn't have to ask him, he just went through it."

"I was delighted to win at the first races  back at Fair Hill," she said. "It was like christening the track. I would love to win one for my Dad at this track."

So in the very next race, she did just that, winning on Gossiper.

"That was brilliant, wasn't it," said Kingsley. "Perfect timing. That was my first win for him as a professional. i still want to win for him at a flat track out of the gate."

Madaket Stables, Molly Willis and Paul Willis’ Jimmy , ridden by Stephen Mulqueen, won by 3/4 length over Zarak the Brave, trained by Tom Garner, and Hidden Path, trained by Ricky Henriks.

Jimmy P had blinkers taken off by Brion and successfully defended his title in the G1, $150,000 Jonathan Sheppard, a 2 3/8-mile hurdle handicap for older horses, at Saratoga Race Course.

Jimmy P had run five times between winning the Sheppard last year and then again this year, not hitting the board in any of those five races.

Brion said she took the blinkers off Jimmy P to help keep his interest throughout the race.

“He’ll outwork anything in the morning and then you put him in the race and he’s just kind of nonchalant about it,” Brion said. “So, I put them on and then I thought let’s just change it back up again, take them off, just keep messing with him a little bit – he did nothing wrong last year in this race, let’s just do exactly the same thing.”
