Super Corredora Sound After Santa Ysabel Disappointment

---

After missing the break and finishing sixth in Sunday’s GIII Santa Ysabel Stakes at Santa Anita, GI Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies victress Super Corredora (Gun Runner) seems no worse for the wear, according to John Sadler’s assistant trainer Juan Leyva.

“It was a very disappointing performance,” said Leyva. “The break just cost us big time. (Jockey) Hector (Barrios) said she stepped back just as they kicked it, so she obviously missed the break, and it was just too much to do from there.”

Super Corredora went off the 8-5 favorite, and her race was described as such by the Equibase chart caller: “Super Corredora threw her head and hopped at the start, climbed at the back early, traveled three deep in the middle stages, entered the far turn in the four path, chased three deep past the five-sixteenths pole, tipped out in the lane and had little left for the drive.”

She finished 40 lengths behind the winner, Forced Entry (Charlatan).

“She ate a lot of dirt going into the first turn,” said Leyva, “and then she had to be wide the whole way around–just a lot of work. We’ll keep checking her out really well but so far, she is walking sound. It was just a really bad start. It’s really hard to come back from that, especially when they went those kinds of fractions. They didn’t even have to go fast–they went [a half mile in] 47–so it’s just unfortunate that she missed the break.”

Her co-owners, West Point Thoroughbreds, said that they would let the dust settle before making any future plans for her.

Fasig-Tipton Revamps Timonium Yearling Sale for 2026

---

Fasig-Tipton will introduce a new format, date, and restored name for the annual fall yearling sale in Timonium, Maryland for 2026, the auction house announced Monday.

Previously known as the Timonium Yearling Sale, the auction will once again be known as the Eastern Fall Yearling Sale, reflecting the deep roots and enduring importance to breeders, owners, and trainers in the region. Major regional developments–the new racetrack construction at Pimlico and Belmont Park–marked a beginning to a new era for the Midlantic and Northeast racing circuits, and spurred changes which include a reorganization of the catalogue to focus on state-bred programs with entries in the sale.

Said programs include the new Maryland Million starter bonus series throughout the year; a record 48 days of racing at Colonial Downs this year; and purse parity for New York-breds, now matching open company levels on the NYRA circuit.

“Fasig-Tipton has a long, storied history of selling horses in Timonium, and this sale has been an important fixture in this racing-rich area for decades,” said Fasig-Tipton president Boyd Browning. “There is a bright future ahead for the region, and we feel that now is an opportune time to reorganize our yearling sale to promote this regional momentum and bring renewed focus to the strength of Eastern racing and what it offers.”

“We are going to reorganize the catalogue to bring increased focus to each of the state-bred programs represented in the sale each year. We are also shifting the sale to late October to tie it to Jim McKay Maryland Million Day, an important race day that is also being enhanced for 2026.”

Regional Focus and Catalogue Reorganization

The reorganized Eastern Fall Yearlings catalogue will spotlight the region’s six state-bred programs: Maryland, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and West Virginia. The catalogue will be structured to provide each state-bred program with its own dedicated section, with all yearlings from that state grouped together. Each section will begin with an introductory page outlining that state’s breeding and racing incentives.

In addition, informational pages will detail the Delaware-certified and Virginia-certified programs, providing buyers with expanded insight into additional regional incentive opportunities.

“This revised structure is designed to let every state-bred program shine,” Browning noted. “It should be of particular interest to New York breeders, offering them a smaller but similar feel to our New York-bred yearling sale in the summer, as all the New York-breds are catalogued together.”

Date Change Information, Fasig-Tipton Sponsors Both Divisions of Sandy Bottom at Colonial

The Eastern Fall Yearlings sale will now take place on Tuesday, Oct. 27, a strategic change scheduled around Maryland Million Day at Laurel Park. The card will be held the preceding Saturday.

As part of Fasig-Tipton’s continued investment and commitment to Eastern racing, the organization will also sponsor both divisions of the Sandy Bottom Stakes on the Virginia Derby undercard at Colonial Downs, set to run Saturday, Mar. 14. Fasig-Tipton representatives will be on-site that day to answer questions regarding the Eastern Fall Yearlings Sale and the new format.
