Standout filly Good Cheer did not disappoint in her 3-year-old debut, winning by 6 ¼ lengths in the Fasig-Tipton Rachel Alexandra Stakes Saturday, Feb. 15 at Fair Grounds for trainer Brad Cox. This was her fifth consecutive win through five starts and second consecutive graded stakes victory.

As a result, Good Cheer, a Godolphin homebred by Medaglia D’Oro, moved into 12^th in the 2025 earnings standings for racehorses in North America and fifth in the 3-year-old division. Good Cheer also sits at the top of the Road to the Longines Kentucky Oaks standings with 45 points.

In the other major 3-year-old race at Fair Grounds last Saturday, Winchell Thoroughbreds’ Magnitude romped by 9 ¾ lengths in the Fasig-Tipton Risen Star Stakes, the first 50-point Kentucky Derby Presented by Woodford Reserve prep race of the season. Magnitude earned a career-best 106 Equibase Speed Figure and now ranks fifth in the 2025 earnings standings overall and second behind Speed King in the 3-year-old division with $302,500. Unfortunately, Magnitude has been taken off the Derby trail due to an ankle chip, according to trainer Steve Asmussen.

Quint’s Brew, a Maryland-bred for the Edward Allard barn, earned the highest Equibase Speed Figure of the year to date Feb. 15, scoring a 124 in the General George Stakes at Laurel Park. Quint’s Brew has made two starts in 2025, winning by a combined 11 ½ lengths. The son of Mosler has five career starts with four wins and a second and has never earned less than a 93 Equibase Speed Figure.

Steve Asmussen’s big weekend highlighted by Magnitude’s Risen Star blowout gave him six wins overall last week across North America and $875,120 in earnings for the year. Asmussen is now the second trainer to accrue more than $3 million this year, joining Saffie Joseph Jr., who still leads all trainers by 2025 earnings with a margin of less than $400,000 ahead of Asmussen. 

Jockey Irad Ortiz Jr. continues to dominate in 2025, picking up 10 more wins (including two Feb. 15 stakes victories at Fair Grounds) and bankrolling $417,680 in earnings last week. That brings his yearly total to 43 wins and $3,780,190 in earnings. Ortiz Jr. is the only jockey in North America with more than 40 wins and the only jockey to have surpassed $3 million in earnings.
