Courtesy of the TDN
A colt from the first crop of GI A.G. Vanderbilt Handicap hero Lexitonian (Speightstown) realized a final bid of $115,000 from Noble Oaks to top the LTBA Breeders Sales of Louisiana Yearling Sale held Friday at the Louisiana Equine Sales and Events Center in Opelousas.
Bred in Louisiana by Clear Creek Stud and Warran J. Harang and consigned to the single-session sale by Clear Creek Stud, hip 97 is a son of the unraced Spun Lace (Hard Spun), the dam of four winners from four to the races, including Zestina (Silent Name {Jpn}), a two-time stakes winner and third in the GIII Whimsical Stakes at Woodbine. Clear Creek Stud acquired Spun Lace for $40,000 in foal to Mucho Macho Man at the 2021 Keeneland November Sale. The 14-year-old mare foaled a Highly Motivated colt in Louisiana this past Apr. 16 and was bred back to Drain the Clock.
Last year's sale was topped by a $90,000 colt by Anchor Down. Click here for the full results.

TOUCHUPONASTAR SHINES BRIGHT IN THE $100,000 GOLD CUP AT DELTA DOWNS
10/07/2023
Delta Downs PR
VINTON, LA. – Delta Downs opened the 2023-24 Thoroughbred race season on Friday night with a nine-race program that featured a pair of $100,000 stakes races. Fans were treated to the Gold Cup and the Magnolia Stakes. Both events were for Louisiana-bred runners going seven furlongs. The Magnolia featured fillies and mares.
The Gold Cup featured heavily favored Touchuponastar, who was gunning for third win in as many starts at Delta Downs. His last appearance in Vinton resulted in a rousing victory in the $150,000 Louisiana Premier Night Championship back in February.
Touchuponastar did not disappoint by coming through with a 5 ½-length victory and it could have been even more. After breaking sharply under jockey Tim Thornton, the eventual winner cruised to an easy lead and carved out fractional times of 23.75 seconds for the opening quarter mile and 47.61 for the half-mile. As the field of eight made the turn for home Thornton shook the reins and his mount responded, going on to a dominant win over Big Chopper while Autumns Strong Man finished another 3-3/4 lengths behind the runner-up.
The final time for Touchuponastar, who is trained by Jeff Delhomme, was 1:24.64. Each race on the program was contest over a fast track and with near perfect weather conditions.
Touchuponastar has now won eight of 11 career starts and has banked a total of $468,100 for his owner, Set-Hut LLC (Jake Delhomme). His win in the Gold Cup was worth $60,000.
Bred in Louisiana by Coteau Grove Farms, Touchuponastar is a 4-year-old bay gelding by Star Guitar, out of the Quiet American mare Touch Magic.
