From Eclipse Thoroughbred Partners facebook: Eclipse landed a pair of stellar yearlings this week at the Fasig-Tipton Saratoga Select Sale. The baby blue and black hammered down a smashing son of the superstar sire Curlin out of the Marquetry mare Marquet Rent (Left) and a stunning daughter of Hard Spun out of the French Deputy mare, French Satin. The Hard Spun filly has officially been named Spindle (Right) and stay tuned for the name of the Curlin colt, both of whom could be future stars for the stable.

Hardest Core Overcomes the Odds for Likely Million Day Run: http://www.paulickreport.com/news/thoroughbred-racing/hardest-core-overcomes-the-odds-for-likely-million-day-run/

After an off-the-board finish by Palace Malice in the Whitney Stakes (gr. I) Aug. 2 at Saratoga Race Course and an unsettled handicap division on the West Coast, the Classic could be ripe for one of this year’s 3-year-olds. Leading the way at this point in terms of Classic possibilities are California Chrome, Belmont winner Tonalist, William Hill Haskell Invitational Stakes (gr. I) winner Bayern, last year’s champion 2-year-old male Shared Belief, and Jim Dandy Stakes (gr. II) winner Wicked Strong.

Any of those top 3-year-olds or perhaps a party crasher will try to become the 10th 3-year-old to win the Breeders’ Cup Classic, which will return to Santa Anita Park this season. California Chrome and Tonalist will try to join Sunday Silence, Unbridled, A.P. Indy, and Curlin as the only U.S. classic winners to take the Breeders’ Cup Classic in their 3-year-old season.

When Tiznow won the Classic in 2000, he was the seventh 3-year-old to win the race since its 1984 debut, but just two sophomores have won the race since then. Since 2001, the only U.S.-based 3-year-old to win the Classic is Curlin in 2007. European-based Raven’s Pass won the Classic in 2008 at age 3.

Wicked Strong: After finishing fourth in both the Kentucky Derby and the Belmont Stakes, Wicked Strong added blinkers for the Jim Dandy, promptly flashed much more early speed than ever before, and won by 2 ¼ lengths over Tonalist. His talent and consistency must be admired, but he also took advantage of a moderate early pace in the Jim Dandy, and maintaining his edge over Tonalist on Saturday could be a challenge if the latter steps up like I believe he will.
