Juddmonte Farms homebred Uno Duo uncorked a visually impressive performance in her second career start, romping to a 5 1/4-length win in a six-furlong maiden special weight event on May 12 at Churchill Downs.

Rockport Harbor relocated to Pin Oak Lane Farm in New Freedom, Pa., for the 2013 breeding season after standing his first six seasons at Darley at Jonabell Farm in Lexington, Ky. The 11-year-old Unbridled’s Song stallion has acclimated quite well to his new surroundings, as his penchant for siring winners at all levels has elevated him to the top of the Keystone State’s general sire list heading into the summer.

Wende Laine Stone “Happy” Bell, wife of Darley America president Jimmy Bell, died on May 9 at her home in Lexington, Ky., according to an obituary released by the Kerr Brothers Funeral Home. She was 56.

A native of Lake Forest, Ill., Bell grew up in Potomac, Md., and received an art history degree from Hollins College in Virginia. On a family trip to the Keeneland July yearling sale, she met Jimmy Bell, whose father founded Jonabell Farm, now Darley America’s Kentucky headquarters. They married in 1979.

Phil Capuano, a longtime Maryland horseman and active member of the Maryland Thoroughbred Horsemen’s Association, died on May 10 at age 80.

An owner and breeder since 1962, Capuano was a founding member of the MTHA, and was an advocate for backstretch issues as chairman of the MTHA’s Backstretch Committee at the now-defunct Bowie Race Track.

In 1995, Capuano received the MTHA’s award for Outstanding Service to Maryland Horsemen.

The cleverly-named filly Tomei scored by 1 3/4 lengths in her second career start on Sunday at Churchill Downs, becoming the first winner for Group 1 winner and freshman sire Thewayyouare.

Ridden by apprentice Dylan Davis, the filly stalked the pace before pulling away in midstretch, covering 4 1/2 furlongs in :52.74. She previously finished seventh in her debut at Keeneland Race Course on April 11.

Kentucky Derby winner Orb gave Spendthrift Farm stallion Malibu Moon his first classic winner, resulting in a spate of coverage in leading media outlets detailing his rise from modest beginnings to his current position as a leading national sire.

The late Storm Cat had plenty of graded stakes winners during his stallion career—110, in fact—but Stray Cat’s rallying effort to win by a nose on Sunday in the Grade 3 Red Cell Remington Park Distance Challenge Stakes gave the legendary sire a new milestone: his first graded stakes winner in the Quarter Horse realm.

Conor Foley's Oracle Bloodstock, based in Lexington, Ky., will manage all bloodstock and racing operations for Donegal Racing, the partnership's president, Jerry Crawford, has announced.

“We are thrilled to have Oracle and Conor on our team,” Crawford said. “Conor is experienced, smart and passionate about helping us continue Donegal’s success."

There was a moment several years ago when it would have looked smart to sell Lady Liberty.

The mare descended from an illustrious family tree that features such names as Ruffian and Private Terms. But her branch of the family had not produced a major runner since her dam, Mesabi Maiden, won the Black-Eyed Susan Stakes in 1996.

Multiple Grade/Group 1 winner Doctor Dino was represented by his first winner May 9, as his daughters Virimoon and Monlora De Luna finished one-two in a maiden race at Tarbes Racecourse in France.

Virimoon bested Monlora De Luna by a neck to earn the victory, covering 1,100 meters (about 5 1/2 furlongs) in 1:11.11 over a turf course rated soft. The 2-year-old filly, out of the Titus Livius mare Tymoon, was making her first career start. She is the second winner from as many to race out of her dam.
