BH Interview with Roderick Wachman Jockey Manny Franco had a banner day at Keeneland April 7, earning back-to-back stakes victories in the rescheduled $400,000 Lafayette Stakes aboard Colloquial and the $600,000 Transylvania Stakes (G3T) with Test Score. On day 2 of the under tack show for the Ocala Breeders' Sales Spring Sale, Hip 181, a filly by Yaupon, breezed the fastest quarter in :20 2/5. A total of eight juveniles breezed an eighth of a mile in :09 4/5 to tie for the fastest time at an eighth. The $750,000 Ashland Stakes (G1) was essentially over as soon as it started as La Cara bounced beautifully from her No. 2 post position, took command, and never looked back en route to victory by about a half-length at Keeneland April 7. Trainer Mark Casse joins the April 7 BloodHorse Monday podcast to discuss Sandman and the fight against decoupling. Also, OBS president Tom Ventura previews the spring sale and co-hosts Louie Rabaut and Sean Collins recap recent Derby preps. At the close of the Inglis Easter Sale April 7, the average was AU$451,913—smashing last year's record of AU$426,447. The gross stood at AU$150 million, only down AU$1.8 million on 2024 despite only 332 lots being sold. Multiple grade-1 placed colt Ferocious died April 7 as a result of laminitis. Co-owner Ramiro Restrepo said it had been a downward slide for the son of Flatter since running in the Feb. 1 Holy Bull Stakes (G3) at Gulfstream Park. Godolphin's Verity did not hang around Keeneland long the afternoon of April 6 following her 5 1/4-length victory over a sloppy track in the $400,000 Beaumont Stakes (G2) on opening day of the spring meet. Tom Pedulla offers takeaways from major Kentucky Derby (G1) prep races held on each coast April 5, the Santa Anita Derby (G1) in California and the 100th Wood Memorial Stakes (G2) at Aqueduct. He also looks at international action in Dubai. Bookended by a strong opening week and a robust Santa Anita Derby weekend, the track's total all source handle topped $510 million. The total handle on just Santa Anita's races increased 5% from the 2023-24 Classic Meet.
