Going Global Favored in Gamely

Going Global (Ire) (Mehmas {Ire}) will put her perfect five-for-five record over the Santa Anita lawn to the test as the 8-5 morning-line favorite in the GI Gamely S. at Santa Anita Monday. The 4-year-old was first or second in seven of eight starts last term, with her lone off-the-board finish coming in the off-turf GI American Oaks in December. Her 2021 campaign included wins in the GI Del Mar Oaks–at the Gamely's nine-furlong distance–and in the GII Goldikova S. She opened 2022 with a win in the one-mile GII Royal Heroine S. in Arcadia Apr. 9.

Reddam Racing's Eddie's New Dream (Square Eddie), a winner over nine furlongs of the Santa Anita turf in an optional claimer last November, won the Mar. 19 Irish O'Brien S. down the hill against fellow Cal-breds before a rallying runner-up effort behind the reopposing Canoodling (Pioneerof the Nile) in the one-mile GIII Wilshire S. May 1.

“On paper, she definitely fits in there,” said trainer Ben Cecil. “I think the extra furlong is probably good for her. She runs hard and gives her all every time. I know she'll run well. It will just be a question of if she's up to it.”

In addition to her front-running score in the Wilshire, B-4 Farms' Canoodling also captured the one-mile Jan. 29 GIII Megahertz S. at Santa Anita. She will be trying to stretch out to nine furlongs for the first time in her career Monday.

Aisle Runner Tops R.D. Hubbard Thoroughbred Dispersal; Stallion Attila’s Storm To Remain In New Mexico

The R.D. Hubbard Complete Thoroughbred Dispersal was a resounding success. With 54 horses offered in the online auction by ThoroughbredAuctions.Com, all 54 found new homes.

The auction grossed $1,560,350 and averaged $28,895, while median was $17,500. The online auction had 246 registered bidders and 100,339 page-views at the close of the auction.

The high seller, bringing a final bid of $91,250 was also the high-selling racehorse. Aisle Runner, a New Mexico-bred 2-year-old gelding by Attila's Storm, out of the Bernardini mare Garter, was already a winner, and qualified for the $134,632 Rio Grande Senor Futurity, where he will race in the colors of the new owner, Ray Willis.

The second-highest seller and high selling stallion was leading New Mexico sire Attila's Storm. The 18-year-old stakes-winning son of Forest Wildcat brought $90,000 from buyer Jimmy Vasquez after staying in extended bidding for over 30 minutes. Attila's Storm is the sire of 22 stakes winners, and will remain in New Mexico, standing at Double LL Farms.

The high-selling broodmare was Garter, a multiple stakes-producing daughter of Bernardini who fetched a final bid of  $80,250 from buyer Victory Crossing, LLC. The 12-year-old mare is a half-sibling to sires Stravinsky and Moscow Ballet. Garter sold pregnant to Attilla's Storm.

Leading the yearlings was a filly by Attila's Storm out of the multiple stakes-producing mare, Hang Glide. The New Mexico-bred filly, purchased by Doug May of Fort Stockton, Texas for $62,250, is a half-sister to six stakes horses and earners of over $1 million.

The top weanling was a filly by Attila's Storm out of Hang Glide. The filly realized a final price of $55,250 from buyer B-4 Farms.

The R.D. Hubbard Complete Thoroughbred Dispersal had originally been scheduled during the Ruidoso Sale in August. After Ruidoso opted to move the live auction to the Lazy E Ranch in New Mexico, ThoroughbredAuctions.com partner Tim Jennings was contacted by R.D. Hubbard's grandson, Shaun Hubbard. From the first phone call, to the close of the auction, was a mere 22 days.

“We are grateful to Shaun Hubbard for having a vision, and trusting us to sell the fruits of his grandfather's legacy,” Jennings said. “We are also fortunate to have a proven platform where people in the Thoroughbred business have a place to market their horses from the safety of their homes.“

Tim and Cathy Jennings of ThoroughbredAuctions.com are the pioneers of internet horse auctions in the United States. They started holding internet horse auctions in 2012. Their previous auction experience was through their family owned company, Professional Auction Services, Inc., the largest show horse auction company in the U.S.
