Dr. No No Heads 12 Statebreds For Friday’s Golden State Juvenile

Trainer Brian Koriner's talented Dr. No No, a winner of two out of his three starts, heads a wide-open field of 12 statebreds going seven furlongs in Friday's $175,000 Golden State Juvenile at Santa Anita.

A sharp third in his five furlong debut July 22 at Del Mar, this chestnut colt by Smiling Tiger came back to break his maiden going six furlongs by a dazzling 8 ¼ lengths on Aug. 13. Subsequently an extra-game nose winner at the same distance versus Cal-breds in the I'm Smokin Stakes Sept. 8, Dr. No No stamped himself the horse to beat in the Golden State Juvenile.

The Golden State Juvenile is part of the lucrative CTBA-sponsored Golden State Series for eligible California-bred or sired horses.

Owned by Rusty Brown and Alan Klein, Dr. No No, who is out of the Run Away and Hide mare Enayat Alsalam, will be ridden for the third consecutive time by Ramon Vazquez.

A longtime assistant to veteran conditioner Hector Palma, Jose Valdez saddled Magic Spoon to an impressive come from behind first-out win going six furlongs here on Oct. 7, as he overcame early trouble and won going away by three quarters of a length.

A chestnut colt by Good Magic out of the Canadian Frontier mare Canadian Mistress, Magic Spoon is owned by George Yager's BG Stables and Valdez and will be ridden back by Tiago Pereira.

Knee Injury Benches Saffie Osborne Until January

Jockey Saffie Osborne will not ride the rest of the year due to torn ligaments in her knee sustained in a race fall at the beginning of October, but is planning on returning in January.

Osborne has ridden since the incident occurred, however, she has decided to give herself plenty of time off to recover. The 21-year-old rode 70 winners in 2023, including Metier (Ire) (Mastercraftsman {Ire}) to win the Chester Cup in May. Another highlight was the victory of Random Harvest (Ire) (War Front) in the G3 Valiant S. at Ascot in July. She was also named the top rider in the Racing League for the second year in a row.

“It's obviously hugely frustrating to miss any time in the saddle but my knee has been causing me some pain,” said Osborne.

“I am hoping to be back riding in January. I'm hugely grateful to all the owners and trainers who have supported me this year and I can't wait to be back riding in 2024.”

Iquitos On The Move To Gestut Rottgen

German Horse of the Year and established sire Iquitos (Ger) (Adlerflug {Ger}) will move to Gestut Rottgen beginning in 2024, the stud announced on Tuesday. Standing for a partnership of Gestut Ammerland, Gestut Graditz and Mulligan Stable, his fee will be €6,000.

A multiple Group 1 winner, the son of Irika (Ger) (Areion {Ger}) has already been represented by Group 3 winner Mr Hollywood (Ire), who was second in the G1 Deutsches Derby, and listed winner and group-placed Drawn To Race (Ger) from his first crop of just five foals who are 3-year-olds.

A three-time top-level winner from 2000-2400 metres, Iquitos raced for four seasons internationally in France and Japan and was given a rating of 122 in his 26th and final start when winning the G1 Grosser Preis von Bayern. He began his stallion career at Gestut Ammerland and moved to Gestut Graditz in 2021.

“We are thrilled to be able to offer a tough, consistent and high-class racehorse who has made such a good start as a stallion,” said Gestut Rottgen's manager Frank Dorff. “Adlerflug proved to be one of the best middle-distance sires in the world and we look forward to giving Iquitos every chance to follow his sire's path and establish himself as a top sire in Germany and Europe.”
