Any concerns about whether or not she was still Queen of the Hill were dispelled Friday as Nitrogen (Medaglia d’Oro) dominated the GI Ogden Phipps Stakes, earning a guaranteed berth into the GI Breeders’ Cup Distaff while she was at it.
A lot was said about Nitrogen’s defeat last out Apr. 11 in the GI Apple Blossom Stakes behind the late Claret Beret (Not This Time), and that came on the heels of a third-place finish Mar. 7 in the GII Azeri Stakes. She’d never missed the board on the main track against some of the best fillies and mares in training since swapping surfaces, but more than a few observers were convinced that she was not a fan of the dirt tracks.
Trainer Mark Casse went on record after the race by confidently proclaiming, “I just want to officially say, I’m tired of hearing everybody say she doesn’t like the dirt.”
Who are we to argue with the man who knows her best?
While she was only facing five others here, the betting public was not about to abandon her, and they sent Nitrogen off as the even-money favorite with Fully Subscribed (Tiz the Law) next in the wagering at 9-5 odds.
The field broke evenly, but it was Nitrogen who hoofed it to the front heading into the bend, overhauling Fully Subscribed on the rail as that one briefly tried to establish control. Posting an opening quarter in :23.74 and a half-mile in :47.26, Nitrogen was comfortably in command as Bless the Broken (Laoban) tried to keep her honest from the outside.
After six panels in 1:10.48 and turning for home with a building advantage, last year’s champion 3-year-old filly kicked away from her rivals while they tried to mount a response. Wandering a touch in midstretch, Jose Ortiz just had to keep her mind on moving forward and she hit the wire with air to spare–12 3/4 lengths more accurately. Fully Subscribed and Bless the Broken were declared a dead-heat for second while Regaled (Mohaymen) came on to claim fourth.
The final time of 1:46.93 was just one-fifth off the track record at Saratoga. The Ogden Phipps was a ‘Win and You’re In’ race for the Breeders’ Cup Distaff in October at Keeneland.
Casse enjoyed a stellar afternoon with a victory earlier on the card with Counting Stars (Honor A.P.) in the GI Acorn Stakes.
“When they said it was one-fifth off the track record, Jose [Ortiz] said, ‘I could have broken it.’ He said he just kind of geared her down,” said Casse afterwards.
“All week when Jose was getting on horses for me, I kept saying, ‘The big mare is ready. The big mare is ready.’ And then in the paddock, I said I thought we may be on the lead and I told him, ‘If so, go for it.’ She’s got a high cruising speed. I think maybe when you’re bottled up a little, it doesn’t help her.”
Jose Ortiz ended up doing just that, and despite the drifting, wasn’t concerned at any step, saying, “I asked her from the quarter-pole to the eighth-pole and she opened up. She drifted out a little. I looked back, nobody was coming, so I kind of wrapped up.”
“Now I see that she was a fifth off the record, maybe I should’ve kept asking her and tried to break it, but she did enough. Now, hopefully she is ready for the next one.”

Pedigree Note:
Nitrogen is the second black-type winner for her dam, Tiffany Case (Uncle Mo), who changed hands at the beginning of the year at the Keeneland January sale for $3.2-million to Whisper Hill Farm. She had sold pregnant to Not This Time, but that foal ended up dying this past spring. Of her three daughters of racing age, Tiffany Case claims multiple graded placed Love to Shop (Violence) as well as two-time champion Nitrogen, and still has a juvenile in the wings named Sniper (Gun Runner).
The broodmare is a half-sister to ‘TDN Rising Star, presented by Hagyard’ Talk Veuve to Me (Violence) and hails from the female line which produced the likes of MGSW-Eng Mountain Kingdom and GISW Cool.

read moreHaving earlier registered his seventh training victory in the GII Wonder Again Stakes courtesy of Fitz Right (Charlatan), Klaravich Stables’ lightly raced Portfolio Duration (GB) (f, 4, Night of Thunder {Ire}–Shemya {Fr}, by Dansili {GB}) took command from the opening bell of Friday’s GI New York Stakes and never relinquished the lead, just holding off French raider Cankoura (Fr) (Persian King {Ire}) to give Brown his sixth win in the 9 1/2-furlong contest.
It was a second graded winner on the card for Klaravich and Brown, who annexed the GII Bed O’ Roses Stakes for the second straight year with ‘TDN Rising Star’ Ways and Means (Practical Joke), and a third for jockey Flavien Prat, who was also aboard Fitz Right.
Facing the starter for just the fifth time in her career, Portfolio Duration was well backed at odds right at 4-1 and was put straight into play by Prat from the inside draw, as several of her rivals in behind were pulling and otherwise tugging for rein in a very messy run passing the stands for the first time.
The 4-year-old got the opening couple of furlongs in :24.39 and was still nicely within herself through a half in :49.21. Kathynmarissa (American Pharoah), who defeated former Brown stablemate Gezora (Fr) (Almanzor {Fr}) in the GIII Modesty Stakes at Churchill Downs on the Kentucky Oaks undercard May 1, had first crack at the pacesetter having sat a wide trip, and drew right alongside the front-runner in upper stretch, appearing a real threat.
But having expended a minimum of energy for the opening six panels, Portfolio Duration swatted away that bid with relative ease and had a good kick to pinch a break. Cankoura, rank for the better part of the opening three-quarters of a mile while riding the rails beneath Clement Lecoeuvre, emerged as a danger three off the inside and looked every bit a winner with less than a furlong to race. But Portfolio Duration was kept to her task by Prat and was ultimately saved by the wire. Kathynmarissa completed a 1-3 finish for Brown.
Gezora, last year’s GI Breeders’ Cup Filly & Mare Turf winner, but recently transferred to the barn of Bill Mott, was also tossing her head about passing the line for the first time, was consigned to a three-wide trip under John Velazquez and gave way readily from three furlongs out to finish at the tail.
“There was no speed in the race, so I needed to be there, anyway. Once I got to the first turn I got a good position. By the time I got to the backstretch, I did not have anything.”
Prat was full of praise for his mount.
“She jumped well. We thought that stretching out, she could be the speed,” said Prat. “She gave me a good run, tried hard. After the last time, I think she enjoyed a bit more ground. It took her a little bit of time to get going and today on the stretch-out it was better.”
The winner is likely for the GI Diana Stakes back at the Spa on July 18, Brown said.
A two-time Tattersalls graduate, Portfolio Duration missed by a head on Tampa debut in February 2025, but went missing, returning to graduate by nearly six lengths in Olsdmar that December. A facile winner at that venue Mar. 28, the bay came running late, but fell a neck short in the GII Distaff Turf Mile at Churchill on May 2.
Pedigree Notes:
Portfolio Duration, one of several successful Tattesalls grads sourced on behalf of Seth Klarman by bloodstock agent Mike Ryan, is the 86th black-type winner, 44th group/graded winner and 11th elite-level scorer for Kildangan Stud’s marvelous Night of Thunder, a son of Dubawi (Ire).
Portfolio Duration is bred on the exact same cross as treble Group 1 winner Ombudsman (Ire), winner of this year’s G1 Dubai Turf, while the outstanding sprinter Highfield Princess (Fr) was out of a mare by Dansili’s prodigious sire Danehill. Daughters of Dansili are now responsible for 165 SWs, 105 GSWs and 29 to succeed at the highest level.
A granddaughter of two-time French group winner Shemima and from the family of GIII Sheepshead Bay Stakes winner No Show Sammy Jo (Ire) (Lope de Vega {Ire}), Portfolio Duration has a juvenile half-brother by Palace Pier (GB) and a yearling half-brother by Dubawi’s 2022 GI Breeders’ Cup Mile winner Modern Games (Ire).
