Playlist was second behind Private Creed.

Also, filly Toupie was second behind No Nay Mets in the Rosie's Stakes (Colonial Downs).

Mawj win the Queen Elizabeth II S (G1) over a fast closing Lindy. Mawj is a half sister to Modern Games, and will go to Breeders Cup. Both Mawj and Lindy look to be forces to reckon with in whatever turf races they are in, hope they both race next year!

Tripolina beat the boys in the Display S at Woodbine. She’s a Constitution filly, looks to be a good one.

If WLG can beat that outstanding Turf field, it will have me celebrating as well. Be almost as cool as when Zen ran past the whole Classic field in 2009.

War Like Goddess may race again

War Like Goddess, the nine-time stakes winner who finished seventh of 11 in Saturday’s Breeders’ Cup Turf at Santa Anita, may have one more start this year.

Owner and breeder George Krikorian said on Sunday that War Like Goddess is under consideration for the Group 1 Hong Kong Vase at 1 1/2 miles at Sha Tin Racecourse in Hong Kong on Dec. 10.

The $3.06 million Hong Kong Vase is one of four international Group 1 races on Hong Kong’s biggest annual day.

Trained by Bill Mott, War Like Goddess will be sent to Florida, where an assessment on her condition will be made in coming weeks.

“We might race in December,” Krikorian said. “We’re considering it. She’s in great shape.”

In the BC Turf, War Like Goddess was beaten 4 1/4 lengths by Auguste Rodin after racing wide for much of the race at 1 1/2 miles and in traffic in the stretch.

“She didn’t catch a break,” Krikorian said. “She was outside.”

Krikorian said a decision on whether War Like Goddess races in 2024 will depend on Mott’s point of view.

“I’d leave it up to Bill,” Krikorian said.

War Like Goddess has won 11 of 18 starts and earned $2,535,184.

What the... I certainly wasn't expecting there was a chance she'd come back again next year. She is going to be 7. Not complaining, she is wildly talented, she just gets in a lot of trouble with her running style. Her record should be a lot better than it is and its pretty damn good already.

Came across this while doing some digging and thought it was worth mentioning here.

Kim Hye Sun became the first female jockey to win a classic race in Korea.

Her horse was Jejui Haneul (Raconteur) who won the 2017 Korean Oaks (KORG2) at 56-1.
