New Stakes Races Approved for Texas Thoroughbred Association Sales Graduates

The eagerly awaited first runners for Flightline, the undefeated 2022 Horse of the Year, have this phase of his career off to a strong start. In about 24 hours, between Kentucky and Japan, Flightline got a win, a second, and a third from his first three starters.

White Abarrio, a leading player in the handicap division whose multiple Grade 1 wins include the 2023 Breeders' Cup Classic, will stand at Gainesway Farm in Kentucky next year, owner C2 Racing announced on Thursday.

Gainesway's kingpin is White Abarrio's paternal grandsire, Tapit, a perennial leading sire. White Abarrio is by multiple graded stakes winner Race Day, who stood at Spendthrift Farm before being exported to Korea for the 2021 season.

Multiple Grade/Group 1 winner Mind Your Biscuits, the highest-earning New York-bred of all time, has died at Shadai Farm in Japan, where he has stood his entire stud career. The son of Posse was 13.

The Japanese media site ZBAT wrote on Tuesday that the stallion “had been behaving normally and in good health, but his condition suddenly worsened after breeding in the afternoon of that day, and he passed away.”

This year's Kentucky Derby winner Golden Tempo will stand at Lane's End Farm in Versailles, Ky., upon the eventual conclusion of his racing career, the farm announced in a release Friday.

There is no timeline indicated for when Golden Tempo’s racing career may end. He is expected to make his next start in the Belmont Stakes on June 6 at Saratoga.

After winning the Derby, Golden Tempo, a homebred for Phipps Stable and St. Elias Stables who is trained by Cherie DeVaux, bypassed the Preakness Stakes. He is currently in training at Keeneland.
