Thoro-Graph and 1/ST TECHNOLOGY, operator of 1/ST BET and Xpressbet, have partnered to bring the popular Thoro-Graph Player Services program to horseplayers around the country.

Chris Waller's stable stars Via Sistina and Fangirl will contest separate races for the first time this preparation March 22, but Via Sistina will face a new challenge from a recent addition to the Waller stable: Full Count Felicia.

Henry Field's Newgate Farm is hoping it can add another Golden Slipper (G1) winner to its stallion roster following the March 22 running of the AU$5 million, 1,200-meter juvenile turf feature at Rosehill Gardens.

The Texas Thoroughbred Association has announced that the 2025 Texas Summer Yearling Sale will be held Aug. 26 at 10 a.m. at Lone Star Park. A limited mixed session will follow the yearling session.

Lucky Seven Stable and Sharaf Mohamed Alhairi's Rattle N Roll (Connect), who rallied from the back of the back to finish a creditable fifth to Forever Young (Jpn) (Real Steel {Jpn}) and Romantic Warrior (Ire) (Acclamation {GB}) in the G1 Saudi Cup on Feb. 22, has officially been invited to participate in the $12-million G1 Dubai World Cup at Meydan Racecourse Apr. 5, trainer Ken McPeek tweeted Mar. 21.

The 6-year-old failed to draw into last year's GI Breeders' Cup Classic and was rerouted for the GII Clark Stakes Nov. 29, where he duly obliged by 3/4 of a length, defeating a field that included fellow World Cup invitee Hit Show (Candy Ride {Arg}). Sent to Riyadh for the Jan. 25 G3 Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques Cup–a Saudi Cup qualifier–Rattle N Roll streaked home 4 3/4 lengths to the good and was beaten about two lengths for third last time in the main event while adding $1 million to his bankroll.

Rattle N Roll remained at King Abdulaziz Racetrack on the outskirts of the Saudi capital immediately following the race before shipping to Dubai to continue his training about two weeks ago. The $210,000 Keeneland September yearling has displayed good energy in his morning gallops since his arrival and is scheduled to breeze five furlongs beneath veteran horseman Danny Ramsey on Mar. 22, McPeek tweeted.

The addition of Rattle N Roll takes the World Cup field to 11, with Forever Young heading the ante-post markets at 4-5 over the Bhupat Seemar-trained pair of G2 Al Maktoum Classic hero Imperial Emperor (Ire) (Dubawi {Ire}, 11-2) and Walk Of Stars (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}, 8-1), who defeated his stablemate in the G1 Al Maktoum Challenge in January, but was a distant 12th in the Saudi Cup. Rattle N Roll is quoted as a 25-1 chance.

The New York Racing Association (NYRA)and Spendthrift Farm have entered a multi-year agreement for the stallion operation to serve as the title sponsor of the $300,000 GI Spendthrift Farm Hopeful Stakes, announced NYRA Friday morning.

The seven-panel dirt sprint for juveniles anchors the closing day program of the 40-day summer meeting Monday, Sept. 1 at Saratoga. One of the oldest races for 2-year-olds, the Hopeful had its inaugural running in 1903, and several winners of the contest would go on to enjoy victory in the GI Belmont Stakes, including the likes of Triple Crown winner Secretariat.

Most recently, several stallions on (or who once stood on) the Spendthrift roster have claimed the race including Basin in 2019; Jackie's Warrior in 2020, who set the race record of 1:21.29 (run at seven furlongs) that stands today; and 2022 champion juvenile Forte.

As one of three Grade I races on closing weekend at the Spa, the Hopeful will proceed the GI Spinaway Saturday, Aug. 20 and the GI Jockey Club Gold Cup Sunday, Aug. 31. A full list of the Saratoga stakes schedule may be found here.

“The Hopeful is one of America's most storied races for 2-year-olds, and we are honored to be its sponsor,” said Ned Toffey, Spendthrift Farm general manager. “For generations, this race has played a key role in shaping champions–many of whom have gone on to stand at Spendthrift, including Forte and Jackie's Warrior today.”

“This partnership allows us to support a race that embodies the excitement, promise, and rich tradition of 2-year-old racing. We also commend NYRA for its steadfast commitment to the sport, ensuring that Saratoga remains the pinnacle of racing and a launching pad for the next generation of great horses.”

The Puerto Rico Horse Owners Association, Inc. (PRHOA) has agreed to drop a year-old federal lawsuit over allegedly unsafe surface conditions at Camarero Race Track after the owners of the island's only racing venue finally agreed to a long-sought demand by the plaintiffs to allow John Passero, the noted track-safety consultant who once served as the track superintendent at Laurel Park and Pimlico Race Course, to inspect the track.

After a Feb. 10-12 inspection by Passero deemed that Camarero's dirt surface “was generally in good condition [and] not suffering at the time of the inspection of the safety issues raised by PRHOA in its complaint,” and after Camarero management agreed to pursue “several recommendations” made by Passero, both the PRHOA and the defendants (Camarero's owners and the Gaming Commission of Puerto Rico) entered into a “confidential” settlement agreement that included jointly dropping the lawsuit.

“[I]n view of Mr. Passero's conclusions, there was no need to continue with the instant litigation,” stated a court document jointly filed by plaintiffs and defendants Mar. 13.

No further details about Passero's findings or suggestions were documented in the court filings.

On Mar. 19, six days after the joint request to drop the lawsuit, the judge handling the case in United States District Court (District of Puerto Rico) signed an order and judgment “dismissing this action with prejudice in its entirety,” further noting that, “No attorneys' fees or costs are levied upon any party. This case is now closed for statistical purposes.”

In its initial Apr. 26, 2024, version of the lawsuit, the PRHOA alleged a “present and clear danger” because of a decade's worth of purportedly uncorrected safety issues at Camarero.

The group sought $500,000 in horse-injury damages stemming from “dangerous conditions…in particular [in the] final stretch in the mile and one sixteenth area…due to having consistency problems, unevenness, problems of humidity, lack of compaction and lack of effective maintenance, among others.”

View from the Camerero grandstand | T.D. Thornton

Before initiating its lawsuit, the PRHOA, on Apr. 2, 2024, had filed an “urgent petition” with the gaming commission asking for Passero to be allowed to commence investigatory work on the track surface.

But, according to the initial complaint, “To make things worse, on Apr. 22, 2024, making evident its obstinacy and disregard for the well-being of the riders and Thoroughbreds in use of the Racetrack, Camarero answered the Urgent Petition [by] sustaining that since it is a private entity it doesn't have any legal obligation compelling it to share the requested information with third parties and that the revealing reports are confidential in nature and their disclosure is not supported by any legal provision requiring its submittal to PRHOA.”

After the lawsuit was filed, both the Camarero owners and the Gaming Commission of Puerto Rico filed responses that didn't specifically contest the alleged safety hazards. Instead, they pleaded that the case should be dismissed for failure to state a claim and because a federal court is not the proper jurisdiction to decide the issue.

The PRHOA, in turn, then filed written opposition to dismissing the case.

“The lack of action by the Commission and its members [in] in concert with Camarero [constitute] an illegal violation of PRHOA and its members' civil rights, in violation of the Fourth, Fifth, Eighth, Ninth and Fourteenth Amendments of the Constitution and 42 USC section 1983. Said acts and omissions are grossly negligent or intentional and taken in reckless disregard and deliberate indifference of the rights of PRHOA and its members,” the PRHOA's June 24 filing stated.

The PRHOA had claimed that despite several years of official complaints lodged to address the alleged safety issues, the gaming commission and track management purportedly ignored the horse owners' repeated calls for safety upgrades. The PRHOA also cited a history of cancelled racing and training on both dry and wet tracks dating to 2016.
