Mating Plans: Stoneriggs Farm

With the 2022 breeding season right around the corner, we will feature a series of breeders' mating plans over the coming weeks. Today we have Robert Slack of Stoneriggs Farm near Paris, Kentucky.

BAJAN GIRL (m, 5, Speightstown–Dazzling {Ire}, by Galileo {Ire}), to be bred to Curlin

We purchased this mare out of a 2-year-old sale in Ocala, and raced her. She was multiple graded stakes placed before we retired her to Stoneriggs. She is by Speightstown, one of my very favorite sires, and out of Dazzling, who herself was a $1-million yearling, and will be bred to Curlin for her first foal.

CHART (m, 5, Lea–Gauge, by War Front), to be bred to Medaglia d'Oro

Like almost all of our 60 broodmares, this mare is young, and we felt fortunate to purchase her in Keeneland November ($210,000), as she is a Grade III winner from an established Claiborne family. She will be bred to Medaglia d'Oro for her first foal.

PLATINUM PAYNTER (m, 6, Paynter–Platinum Preferred, by Vindication), to be bred to Maxfield

Another recent purchase that we are very happy with is this multiple graded stakes-placed filly. She will be visiting the very much in-demand Maxfield at Darley. She was an outstanding race mare, is an outstanding individual, and we eagerly await the foal from this mating.

I'M BETTY G (m, 8, Into Mischief–Lady in Ermine, by Honour and Glory), to be bred to City of Light

Although only eight years of age, this mare is one of our 'seniors' and is carrying a foal by Improbable and will be bred back to City of Light. Into Mischief is one of our favorite broodmare sires and the fact that 'Betty' is a stakes winner and multiple graded stakes placed, we have high hopes for her.

MONEY FROMHEAVEN (m, 6, Munnings–Smart Policy, by Smart Strike), to be bred to American Pharoah

Munnings is developing into a very important sire, both on dirt and turf, and we are excited to own this young stakes-winning filly who will be bred to American Pharoah. He's having a great year on both surfaces.

NEEDS SUPERVISION (m, 6, Paynter–Moroccan Rose, by Carson City), to be bred to Charlatan

This filly was also an excellent race mare, winning several stakes, and we are excited to be able to breed her to Charlatan, who we consider to be an outstanding first-year sire. We are breeding several mares to him and we consider him to be a very worthy heir to the legacy that his sire has earned.

Let us know who you're breeding your mares to in 2022, and why. We will print a selection of your responses in TDN over the coming weeks. Please send details to: garyking@thetdn.com.

Equibase Adds Results Charts Featuring GPS Data

Equibase Company, the Thoroughbred industry's official database for racing information, today announced the addition of result charts that include data collected from global positioning satellite (GPS) systems.

“After many years of evaluating GPS to deliver expanded data, Equibase is pleased to be successfully leveraging this technology for racing,” said Sal Sinatra, president and chief operating officer for Equibase. “GPS technology provides comprehensive data for each horse during the entire running of a race, and we are excited to now be able to provide this rich data on the website.”

During the running of the race, the GPS system collects a comprehensive data set every half second for every horse in the race. The charts will enable users to see this data at the traditional points of call, as well as at one-sixteenth-mile intervals. In addition to traditional information such as lengths ahead and lengths behind, data such as each horse's sectional and cumulative time, average speed, number of strides, average stride length, and average strides per second are included in each GPS chart.

The new GPS charts are free for registered users of equibase.com and can be found next to the traditional result charts for each track utilizing the automated tracking technology.

Equibase has GPS systems in place at Canterbury Park, Colonial Downs, Del Mar, Golden Gate Fields, Hollywood Gaming at Mahoning Valley Race Course, Hollywood Casino at Penn National Race Course, Kentucky Downs, Laurel Park, Monmouth Park, Oaklawn Park, Pimlico, Sam Houston, Tampa Bay Downs, and Woodbine Racetrack.

GPS systems are also installed at two harness facilities – the Meadowlands and Woodbine Mohawk Park. Equibase's GPS technology partner, Total Performance Data, is based in the United Kingdom and has more than a dozen tracking systems deployed there, in addition to the U.S. installations.

Additionally, the comprehensive data collected by GPS for each runner during the running of the race can be used to drive on-screen graphics. A number of the tracks listed above are utilizing the technology for their graphics. In addition, several other tracks use the GPS data feed to depict graphics through a third-party vendor.

Equibase Company is a partnership between subsidiaries of The Jockey Club and the Thoroughbred Racing Associations of North America and serves as the Thoroughbred industry's official database. Through its website and mobile applications, Equibase offers a comprehensive array of free statistical information as well as premium handicapping products and reports in support of the North American Thoroughbred racing industry.

Chart Lands Ontario Colleen In Four-Horse Blanket Finish At Woodbine

With a determined stretch run, Chart prevailed in a photo finish to take the $125,000 Ontario Colleen Stakes (Grade 3) for three-year-old fillies on a windy Saturday at Woodbine Racetrack in Toronto, Ontario.

One of four Mark Casse trainees in the field of six, Chart got the first call breaking sharply from the gate for jockey Justin Stein and settled into second behind the Casse-trained Grade 3 Selene champion Two Sixty, who sped out front and clocked an opening quarter in :23.55 and half-mile in :46.93.

Heading into the turn in the one-mile turf test, Chart advanced outside of the pacesetter with the Alex Patykewich-trained Saratoga Vision moving three-wide and Diamond Sparkles, another Casse contender, poised to go widest of all past three-quarters in 1:10.38.

Down the stretch into a headwind, Chart battled on gamely against Two Sixty with even-money favorite Avie's Samurai, from the Josie Carroll barn, emerging at the rail.

Digging in, the determined Chart prevailed in a blanket finish, getting the nod in 1:35.24 over Avie's Samurai. Diamond Sparkles finished another head back on the outside in third, with Two Sixty a half-length back between foes. Saratoga Vision finished less than a length behind in fifth while Fly So Pretty rounded out the field.

“She broke sharp and I didn't have to ask her to leave there,” said Stein, who is now just a couple wins behind meet-leading rider Rafael Hernandez. “She settled into stride right away and just galloped around there until it was really time to start running.

“I got to sit and wait for a while. I was pretty comfy sitting up to the quarter pole and when I asked her to run, she really kicked. I just could feel the try that she had inside. She was digging in and giving me everything that she had. Running into that headwind, I don't know how she did it, but she found more to get the job done.”

The lightly raced Kentucky-bred filly sired by Lea has now won half of her six career starts for owner D. J. Stable LLC.

Sent postward as the 9-2 second choice, Chart returned $11.20 to win.

Morning line favorite Walk In Marrakesh was scratched.

In other action, Theregoesjojo ($7.80) and Kazushi Kimura won the $50,000 second leg of the Woodbine Turf Endurance Series for trainer Michael De Paulo and the Samotowka Stables.

Stretching out to 1 1/2 miles, the five-year-old English Channel gelding stalked the top pair before sweeping to command on the final turn and winning by two lengths in 2:29.78 over the late-rallying Peace of Ekati.

Theregoesjojo was a runner-up in the 1-3/8-mile first leg to Artistico, who finished third in round two as the 6-5 favourite.

The series, which offers $40,000 in bonuses to the top point-earners, continues on Saturday, Sept. 26 with the third round at 1-5/8-miles.

Live Thoroughbred racing continues at Woodbine on Sunday, featuring the $770,000 Canadian Yearling Sales Stakes. Post time for the 11-race card is 1 p.m.
