Sharing Looks to End Year on High in American Oaks

Eclipse Thoroughbred Partners and Gainesway’s well-traveled Sharing (Speightstown) will look for her second Grade I win over the Santa Anita turf when she heads postward in the GI American Oaks Saturday for trainer Graham Motion. The chestnut filly, who won last year’s GI Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf in Arcadia, opened 2020 with a win in the May 23 Tepin S. at Churchill Downs. She shipped overseas to be a gallant second in the June 20 G1 Coronation S. at Royal Ascot and returned stateside to take the Sept. 4 GII Edgewood S. in Louisville. She shipped west from Motion’s Fair Hill base to be a close-up fourth in the Nov. 29 GI Matriarch S. last time out and makes the return trip for this 1 1/4-mile contest.

Always dangerous with distaff turfers–and on holiday weekends in Southern California–trainer Chad Brown sends out a pair of Klaravich Stables runners in the Oaks. The lightly raced Capital Structure (GB), trying stakes company for the first time Saturday, was a debut winner over the Monmouth turf in July and added a 1 1/16-mile allowance tally at Belmont Park two starts later in her most recent trip to the post Oct. 25. Stablemate Duopoly (Animal Kingdom), also a maiden winner over the Monmouth turf in July, won a Saratoga allowance Aug. 21 before finishing fifth in the Oct. 16 GIII Valley View S. She returned to the winner’s circle with a front-running 3/4-length tally in the Nov. 15 Winter Memories S. at Aqueduct last time out.

Representing the West Coast home team, Going to Vegas (Goldencents) will be looking to break through at the top level after a pair of runner-up efforts in graded company. Claimed for $50,000 in June, the Richard Baltas trainee missed by just a neck when second in the one-mile GIII Autumn Miss S. at Santa Anita Oct. 17 and was caught late when runner-up in the 1 3/8-miles GIII Red Carpet H. at Del Mar last time out Nov. 26.

Breeders’ Cup Winner Sharing Headlines Field Of 10 In American Oaks

Trainer Graham Motion's Sharing is the filly to beat in Saturday's Grade 1, $300,000 American Oaks at Santa Anita. Originally run at Hollywood Park in 2002 and transferred to Santa Anita in 2014, the Oaks, the final G1 event of the year for 3-year-old fillies, has attracted a field of 10 and will be run for the 19th time on Saturday, opening day of Santa Anita's Winter/Spring meeting.

A winner over the course in the G1 Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf at one mile on Nov. 1, 2019, Sharing, a Maryland-bred daughter of Speightstown, who is owned by Eclipse Thoroughbred Partners and Gainesway Stable, will be trying a mile and one quarter for the first time as she seeks her sixth win from nine career starts.

Eclipse will also be well represented by the Paddy Gallagher-trained Red Lark, who comes off a close fourth place finish in the G1 Queen Elizabeth II Cup at Keeneland Oct. 10 and who won the G1 Del Mar Oaks on Aug. 22.

Eastern-based Chad Brown looms dangerous with English-bred Capital Structure, who although she'll be making her stakes debut in the Oaks, exits a solid allowance win going 1 1/16 miles on turf at Belmont Park Oct. 25 and rates a big look with Joel Rosario aboard in what will be her fourth career start.

Thoroughbred Connect Update Allows Digital Foal Certificates To Be Utilized In Aftercare Assistance

The Jockey Club Registry announced today that contact information submitted through its Thoroughbred Connect program by those interested in providing aftercare or assistance for a Thoroughbred is now available when a horse's digital certificate of foal registration is accessed by the certificate manager.

Thoroughbred Connect enables anyone with an Interactive Registration (IR) account to express his or her willingness to be contacted by someone in possession of a Thoroughbred in the event the horse is in need of aftercare or assistance. It is also a resource for horse owners to list a Thoroughbred that is in need of aftercare or assistance.

With this update, contact information for those who would like to help a specific Thoroughbred is displayed by default on a horse's digital certificate page. Thoroughbred Connect users can elect to opt out of this setting at any time. Contact information associated with horses born prior to 2018, and who thus might not have a digital certificate, can still be shared with a successful connection made via the Thoroughbred Connect link after logging into IR.

“Adding contact information from Thoroughbred Connect to a horse's digital certificate page ensures that a horse's emergency contact will never be lost or removed and will always be easily accessible to its current digital certificate manager,” said Matt Iuliano, executive vice president and executive director of The Jockey Club. “We believe this change will facilitate connections to transition Thoroughbreds to new homes when their racing or breeding careers are over.”

“We at Herringswell Stables believe in the importance of ensuring that Thoroughbreds are cared for at all stages of their lives and have attached our contact information to physical copies of foal papers for years,” said Graham Motion. “We are excited to take advantage of The Jockey Club Registry's update to Thoroughbred Connect, which replicates the purpose of stickers and stamps in the age of digital certificates.”

“We commend The Jockey Club for their aftercare initiatives and their efforts to help horses transition to careers beyond the racetrack or breeding shed,” Staci Hancock of Stone Farm said. “From the Thoroughbred Incentive Program and “Transferred as Retired from Racing” designation to this most recent update to Thoroughbred Connect, we thank The Jockey Club for looking out for the welfare of Thoroughbreds and promoting their potential as sport, pleasure, and therapy horses.”

Since its introduction in May 2011, more than 3,500 users have signed up for Thoroughbred Connect, and there are currently more than 8,600 horses in the system that have at least one customer who has provided contact information to indicate their willingness to provide aftercare assistance.

For more information about Thoroughbred Connect or to sign up for an IR account, please visit registry.jockeyclub.com.
