The decision to bring Coeur Volante back into training has paid off, with the mare finding success at Sandown.

Her victory in the IVE> Handicap (1400m) on Wednesday was her second start for her new owners, who purchased her for $500,000 last spring through Widden Stud and Bangaloe Stud.

Coeur Volante had been sent to stud after finishing last at Flemington in the spring but was returned to training when she failed to get in foal.

She resumed racing with the Lindsay Park team of Ben, Will and Jd Hayes, finishing third at Caulfield on May 30, before appreciating an increase in distance on Saturday.

With the advantage of Jackson Radley’s 3kg claim, Coeur Volante ($4.60) won by 1-¼ lengths from Boltsaver ($5), with Punch Lane ($5) a nose behind in third.

J D Hayes mentioned that the Group 1 Tatt’s Tiara (1400m) at Eagle Farm on June 27 would be considered for the mare.

Coeur Volante ran second last in the Tatt’s Tiara last year, marking the end of a long campaign.

“It’s a good problem for our Monday discussions whether we potentially head north or just keep her down here,” Hayes shared.

“She’s in a really good system at the moment and has come through the Pakenham base and she presented in fantastic order.”

“I dare say she could be a bit of an ATM at the moment.”

“We’re very thankful to the ownership group for giving her back to us to train.”

“She had a bit of time off and came back refreshed and in good order and certainly benefitted from her last run.”

“She got a beautiful run in transit and when the race changed complexion, Jackson rode her perfectly.”

“It was good to see her get her head in the winner’s stall as it had been a while between drinks.”

Saturday’s win was Coeur Volante’s first since claiming the Group 3 Mannerism Stakes (1400m) at Caulfield in February 2025, just days before her previous trainer Mike Moroney passed away after a long battle with illness.

Dillon Gabriel debuted a new jersey number this week at the Cleveland Browns’ mandatory minicamp, switching from No. 8 to No. 6. The change comes after Jared Verse, who was acquired earlier this month in a blockbuster trade involving Myles Garrett, took the No. 8 jersey.

The quarterback, who’s entering his second season in the NFL, appears to be dreaming of something big with his new jersey. He made waves on Saturday after posting a picture of Baker Mayfield in the No. 6 jersey during his days with the Browns on his Instagram story.

While the post appears ordinary on the surface, many believe Gabriel is sending a message with it. It’s been interpreted as the quarterback seeing his situation in Cleveland mirroring that of Mayfield, as he’s currently projected to be a third-stringer next season.

Baker Mayfield was drafted as the first-overall pick by the Browns in 2018 after a successful college career at Oklahoma. Despite early glimpses of brilliance, he had a turbulent four-year tenure with the Browns. He’s nonetheless grown to become one of the best in the NFL outside of Cleveland.

Gabriel’s Instagram post and the cryptic message it seemingly passed have generated a lot of reactions among NFL fans. While the quarterback is projecting a successful career for himself, fans had different opinions regarding the post, featuring Baker Mayfield.

Here’s a look at some of the reactions online:

Rich Eisen explains what jersey change means for Dillon Gabriel

Rich Eisen believes the Browns’ taking away the No. 8 jersey from Dillon Gabriel and handing it to Jared Verse passed a message. On his podcast on Wednesday, the NFL Network analyst noted the move signifies where Gabriel, who started six games last season, stands in the ongoing QB race.

“We just heard why Dillon Gabriel’s wearing No. 6, because [Todd Monken] didn’t mention Dillon’s in the running for starter for this team,” Rich Eisen said. “Shedeur has clearly separated himself from Dillon Gabriel. The Dillon Gabriel vs. Shedeur days appear to be over. He’s talking about Deshaun and Shedeur.

“Some coaches will be like, ‘The whole quarterback room is involved. Everybody. Have your head on a swivel if you’re in the quarterback room because I might call your number — 8 or 6.’ It sure sounds like Dillon Gabriel’s got a mountain to climb here. That’s what that sounded like to me. He lost his number and apparently his No. 2 on the depth chart ranking.”

Gabriel started the 2025 season as the backup quarterback to Joe Flacco under Kevin Stefanski. He took the starting role in Week 5 as Flacco was traded to the Cincinnati Bengals. He, however, lost it after suffering a concussion against the Baltimore Ravens in Week 10.
