“It was amazing to see her run so well here. We’re so happy with her.” - Caitlin Ward, Part-Owner
Following her win in the Royal Palm Juvenile Fillies Stakes, Lennilu received an automatic berth to the Queen Mary Stakes (G2) at @AscotRacecourse where she placed an impressive third in a competitive field.
After a relaxing hiatus at the farm, the team is pointing Lennilu to Del Mar in the upcoming @BreedersCup . Good luck to the connections and we’ll see you in California!
Get a behind-the-scenes look at Sandal’s Song’s journey from winning the Royal Palm Juvenile Stakes to taking on the competition in the G2 Norfolk Stakes at @AscotRacecourse . We’re looking forward to welcoming him back home and watching his next race at the @BreedersCup !

We are deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Christophe Clement, a respected and accomplished horseman whose legacy is etched into the fabric of our sport. Christophe’s exceptional horsemanship, professionalism, and enduring passion for racing were evident every time he saddled a horse at our racetracks.
Over the years, Christophe’s runners graced the winner’s circles at Gulfstream Park, Santa Anita Park, and beyond, earning admiration from fans, fellow horsemen, and racing officials alike. He brought integrity, grace, and a competitive spirit that elevated every race in which he participated.
On behalf of the entire 1/ST RACING team, we extend our heartfelt condolences to the Clement family, his staff, owners, and all who were touched by his presence in the racing community. His impact on our sport is indelible, and he will be missed dearly.
The road to the Triple Crown runs through 1/ST. Congratulations to the top three finishers in the Kentucky Derby 🐎
