Eagles By Day Joins Glenview Stud Roster

Eagles By Day (Ire) (Sea The Stars {Ire}–Missunited {Ire}, by Galileo {Ire}), winner of the G3 John Smiths Silver Cup at York in 2020, has been acquired by Rathbarry & Glenview Studs from Clipper Logistics. The deal was brokered by Joe Foley. The 5-year-old will join the existing national hunt roster of Blue Bresil (Fr) (Smadoun {Fr}), Malinas (Ger) (Lomitas {GB}), Old Persian (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}, Shirocco (Ger) (Monsun {Ger}), Sholokhov (Ire) (Sadler's Wells) and Youmzain (Ire) (Sinndar {Ire}) at Glenview Stud for 2022.

Last seen finishing runner-up in the G3 Cumberland Lodge S. at Ascot in early October for trainer David O'Meara, Eagles By Day is a son of Sea The Stars, whose sons Affinisea and Crystal Ocean have been well received by national hunt breeders and foal buyers alike.

Eagles By Day's dam Missunited was a talented runner in her own right, winning 12 races under both codes, including the G3 Lillie Langtry S. and the valuable Guiness Galway Handicap Hurdle. Missunited earned black-type on no fewer than six occasions, including a narrow loss in the G1 Ascot Gold Cup and a third in the G1 Prix Royal Oak.

“Eagles By Day is an outstanding individual with plenty of size and substance,” said Paul Cashman of Rathbarry & Glenview Studs. “I'm confident he will prove a great attraction for Irish breeders.”

Wesley Ward Asks Court To Allow Sale Of Ramsey Horses

Trainer Wesley Ward has filed a new motion in Jessamine County circuit court requesting that a judge allow the sale of 14 of Ken and Sarah Ramsey's horses to put toward unpaid training bills, reports bloodhorse.com. The legal dispute traces back to March of this year, when both Ward and trainer Mike Maker filed civil suits against the Ramseys for nearly $2 million in unpaid bills.

At that time, Ward also acquired agister's liens against Ramsey's horses, essentially giving him ownership of the horses for one year.

Ward and Ramsey had previously agreed to an arrangement in which Ramsey was to pay $100,000 per month until the debt was paid off, but the motion alleges that Ramsey only made one payment. Ward also alleges he told Ramsey he could race the horses and use any earnings toward that debt, but that Ramsey declined.

The 14 horses have continued to incur care costs of $1,500 per day.

“Rather than pay his debt to Ward Enterprises and take possession of his horses, Ramsey has instead chosen to publicly make false assertions against Ward Enterprises in a misguided attempt to trump up claims against Ward Enterprises,” the Dec. 1 motion states.

The new motion requests that the court require all 14 horses to be sold during the Keeneland January sale.
