2023 Belmont Fall Meet Will Again Be Run At Aqueduct

The New York Racing Association has released its 2023 racing schedule, which will include a return to Aqueduct for the traditional fall Belmont meet.

NYRA first moved the Belmont fall meet to Aqueduct this year so that tunnels could be built that would provide access to the infield. In 2023, moving the Belmont fall meet will allow for reconstruction of the three Belmont racing surfaces.

The 28-day Belmont at the Big A fall meet will open on Thursday, Sept. 14 and continue through Sunday, Oct. 29. Live racing will be conducted Thursday-Sunday throughout the Belmont at the Big A fall meet.

The 2023 Belmont spring-summer meet will still be held at Belmont. It will consist of 40 days of racing and go from May 4 through July 9. Live racing will generally be conducted Thursday-Sunday throughout the spring/summer meet.

The 2023 racing season will include 202 days of live racing, starting with the 44-day winter meet at Aqueduct, which will run from Jan. 1 through Mar. 26, with racing conducted Thursdays through Sundays until Feb. 12. For the remainder of the meet, racing will be held Friday through Sunday. The 19-day Aqueduct spring meet, which spans Thursday, Mar. 30 to Sunday, Apr. 30, will see live racing return to a Thursday-Sunday schedule.

There will be 40 days of racing at Saratoga with the meet kicking off Thursday, July 13 and continuing through Labor Day, Sept, 4. Racing at Saratoga will be conducted five days per week from Wednesday-Sunday with the exception of the six-day closing week.

The 2023 season will conclude with the 31-day Aqueduct fall meet which runs from Thursday, Nov. 2 through Sunday, Dec. 31, 2023.

Rubaiyat To Stand At Gestut Ohlerweiherhof In 2023

Rubaiyat (Fr) (Areion {Ger}–Representera {GB}, by Lomitas {GB}), a group winner at two, three, four, and five years, will stand at Gestut Ohlerweiherhof in Germany next year, Jour de Galop reported. His fee will be €4,500.

Bred by Gestut Karlshof, he was a €26,000 BBAG August yearling. In the colours of Darius Racing, the Henk Grewe trainee was a multiple group winner in both France and Italy. As a juvenile, he won the G2 Gran Criterium and the G3 Preis des Winterfavoriten, and the G3 Dr. Busch-Memorial went his way as a sophomore. In 2021, he scored in the G2 Premio di Capua Vittorio, and this year, he signed off his 25-start career in the G3 Premio Ribot last month. Earning north of $650,000, Rubaiyat placed in another 10 group races throughout his racing days.

A half-brother to French listed winner Rose Flower (Ger) (Dabirsim {Fr}), the 5-year-old counts G3 Prix d'Aumale heroine Joyeuse Entree (GB) (Kendor {Fr}) as his second dam. Besides foaling his winning dam Representera, she also produced G1 Poule d'Essai des Poulains hero Tin Horse (Ire) (Sakhee) and the listed winner and group-placed Becomes You (GB) (Lomitas {GB}). Two-time group winner Jadoomi (Fr) (Holy Roman Emperor {Ire}), also placed twice at the highest level, is out of a winning full-sister to Tin Horse.

Editorial Relocated To Rancho San Miguel

Stakes-siring stallion Editorial (War Front–Playa Maya, by Arch), a half-brother to successful sire and champion Uncle Mo (Indian Charlie), will move to Rancho San Miguel in California to stand for $3,500 live foal guaranteed next year. He most recently stood at Anchor & Hope Farm in Maryland. His oldest foals are 3-year-olds.

“If I were to compare the U.S. stallion market to the U.S. stock market, I would say we are acquiring an emerging stock at the optimal time for California breeders,” said Rancho San Miguel owner Tom Clark. “Editorial has come out firing with quality in his first batch of runners, and has already shown that he can significantly improve his mares.

“His rare combination of sire power in War Front and Uncle Mo is sure to appeal to our state's breeders, who enjoy racing on a variety of surfaces and at a variety of distances.”

Bred by the Playa Maya Syndicate, the 8-year-old developed into a maiden winner at Gulfstream for the Coolmore partners and Todd Pletcher. Retired to stud in Maryland in 2018, the full-brother to G1 Irish 1000 Guineas runner-up Could It Be Love (War Front)'s progeny are led by two-time stakes winner Alottahope, as well as the stakes-placed My Thoughts.

Clark added, “Climax Stallions is retaining an ownership stake in Editorial, so he will be well-supported with top mares, including from our farm, as we take the baton and navigate him through the important next phase of his stallion career.”
