The unbeaten Juddmonte filly Babouche downed the colt Whistlejacket to land the Aug. 10 Phoenix Stakes (G1) at The Curragh for jockey Colin Keane and trainer Ger Lyons. The daughter of Kodiac beat Camille Pissarro in the Anglesey Stakes (G3) at the course last month and exacted defeat on another Aidan O'Brien-trained star as she proved a length and a half too strong for Whistlejacket, the July Stakes (G2) winner.

It's always the anniversary of something, better known as the last refuge of a lazy columnist. But this one is legit. Forty years ago, in the afterglow of a sports world still swooning from the 1984 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles, horse racing's most popular personality descended upon a Chicago suburb to win the Arlington Million (G1T) for the second time in only its fourth running.

Packed Sunday Brings Back a Million Memories

1st-Ellis, $71,000, Msw, 8-10, 2yo, f, 5 1/2fT, 1:01.84, fm, neck. CIVETTA (f, 2, Into Mischief–Sentiero Italia {MGSW & MGISP, $994,900}, by Medaglia d'Oro), a half-sister to Santin (Distorted Humor), MGISW, $1,918,820, was a very game winner in Saturday's opener at Ellis Park. The 9-2 chance hounded the debuting $600,000 KEESEP yearling Lovely Emma (Twirling Candy) from the outside through sharp fractions of :21.20 and :44.00 and finally fought her way to the front in deep stretch to graduate by a neck in a race that didn't deserve a loser. After producing a colt by Dubawi (Ire) in 2024, Sentiero Italia was bred back to Tapit. The aforementioned Brendan Walsh-trained Godolphin homebred Santin won the GI Arlington Million and GI Old Forester Bourbon Turf Classic Stakes. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, $41,285.
