War Horse Place Relaunches With GI Preakness Winner Rombauer

War Horse Place has secured the opportunity to stand GI Preakness S. hero Rombauer (Twirling Candy) for $6,000 LFSN, the breeding operation said in a release Wednesday.

Bred and campaigned by John and Diane Fradkin, Rombauer placed as a juvenile in the GI American Pharoah S. at Santa Anita before finishing third along the Derby Trail in the GII Toyota Blue Grass S. He then won the second leg of the Triple Crown at Old Hilltop before finishing third in the GI Belmont S.

Joining him will be French group stakes winner as a 2-year-old, MGSW Sacred Life (Fr) (Siyouni {Fr}), who retired with 27 career starts. During that time, he was on the board in 19, including a pair of graded stakes wins. He will stand for $2,000 LFSN with concessions to black-type mares.

GISW Smooth like Strait (Midnight Lute) will also join the stallion roster. He retired with five graded stakes wins and an additional 10 graded placed finishes. His career earnings total $1,813,863 and he will stand for $3,500 LFSN.

Owner and director of farm operations Dana Aschinger McCreary said, “We are excited to offer central Kentucky breeders' access to stallions who performed consistently at the highest levels of the sport.”

War Horse Place will host an open house Nov. 11 and 12 from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. ET.

Del Mar Ready For Bing Crosby Season Friday

Entries were drawn Tuesday for the eight-race Friday card that kicks off the 13-day Bing Crosby Season at Del Mar, the track said in a release Wednesday afternoon.

This year's stakes schedule is very similar to last year. Out of 15, nine are graded. Over $2 million in purse money will be up for grabs over the course of the four-week meet, including the GI Hollywood Derby on Saturday, Dec. 2 and the GI Matriarch S. on Sunday, Dec. 3.

“Where we're laid out on the calendar is perfect,” Del Mar racing secretary David Jerkens said. “Mark Casse is sending a small string. Graham Motion. Wesley Ward has a few horses here. Obviously, the Breeders' Cup has just wrapped up but based on past history we've received quite a bit of an influx from the Chad Brown and Christophe Clement barns back east.”

MGISW Pretty Mischievous Out Of The Breeders’ Cup Distaff, Not 100% Says Walsh

Godolphin's Pretty Mischievous (Into Mischief), who was slated to start in the GI Longines Breeders' Cup Distaff on Saturday at Santa Anita, will scratch from the race and return to Kentucky due to not being 100%, said trainer Brendan Walsh, in a release from the Breeders' Cup Notes Team midday Friday.

Walsh confirmed that she would prepare for her 4-year-old campaign.

“After traveling, she got a little bit colicky and we had to treat her the next day,” said Walsh. “She's looked great on the track, but that's just her. She's been a little dull and not showing us what she usually does. I'm not running in a championship race if she's not 100% and, after the great season she's given us, she owes us nothing.”

The 3-year-old filly, winner of the GII Rachel Alexandra S. in her seasonal debut, was runner up in the GII Fair Grounds Oaks before annexing the GI Kentucky Oaks at Churchill Downs May 5. A narrow victor in the June 9 GI Acorn S. at Belmont Park, she added a win in Saratoga's GI Test S. The Godolphin hombred was last seen finishing second in the GI Cotillion S. at Park Racing Sept. 23.
