Three of the last six runnings of the Jaipur have been won by females. Wish more girls would take on the boys or that their connections were more willing to do so.

The once-beaten Natural Rise figures a heavy favorite in the second leg of the Japan Dirt Triple Crown, Wednesday's Tokyo Derby at Ohi. Faces the 1-2 finishers from the G3 Unicorn S., Canal Beagle and Clay King, each drawn wide. https://t.co/aA8sctHYP3

Good weekend for @theTDN Rising Stars at the Spa: Deterministic, Patch Adams, Ways and Means, Parchment Party, Donegal Momentum, Sassy C W all with major performances.

Deterministic is the sixth North American G1 winner out of a daughter of the late Speightstown (Vekoma, Mia Mischief, Mischievous Alex, Just One Time, Aloha West). He has three South American G1SWs from his daughters, one in Peru and two in Chile.

Pretty handy 45 minutes or so for @LanesEndFarms with new Grade I winners for Twirling Candy and Liam's Map

In addition to Sovereignty, don't forget that the usually patient Mott barn was represented by a pair of 9-1 debut winners that both look pretty promising.

Flavien Prat rides Final Gambit in the Matt Winn, John Velazquez picks up the mounts on Ag Bullet in the Jaipur and Integration in the Manhattan.

Shadai acquired JM's dam India Mantuana for $100k i/f to Accelerate @keenelandsales January in 2020, bred her to Palace Malice and exported. JM bred on a variant of the wildly successful Curlin/AP Indy cross.

Four of the last 8 winners of the Yasuda Kinen were produced by US-bred and/or -sourced mares Mozu Ascot (Frankel x India) Gran Alegria (Jpn) (DI x Tapitsfly) Danon Kingly (Jpn) (DI x My Goodness) Jantar Mantar (Jpn) (Palace Malice x India Mantuana)

If you watched yesterday's performance and were not awestruck because they didn't run in the Preakness, maybe horse racing isn't for you.

Palace Malice's half-brother that is

Palace Malice accounted for the US-conceived Yasuda Kinen winner Jantar Mantar and his Japanese-bred 3yo half-brother King no Jo (Jpn) (Silver State {Jpn}) won for the second time in 4 starts Sunday at Tokyo. Cost $2.18m as a yearling.

If the IM x DH cross is the most productive, the IM/Empire Maker cross is a good second. Sovereignty carries that one through second dam Mushka and IM/EM is the Mandaloun, Laurel River cross.

According to the Gmax chart, Journalism covered 28 more feet than Sovereignty. If my math is correct, that's about 3L. Tale of two trips.
