ARQANA JUMP STARTS THESEASON WITH i250K HURDLER

By Emma Berry

Arqana has an advantage over its counterparts in Britain and

Ireland in so far as the company is able to stage a live sale in

Deauville this week, with some encouraging returns posted from

the first of two sessions of the February Sale on Monday.

Two six-figure lots were at the head of the action, and trade

was fairly lively throughout, with the average being boosted by

22% to i13,669, while turnover was also up, by 23%, at

i1,654,000 thanks to a much improved clearance rate of 77.5%.

From a smaller offering of 156 for the day, 121 horses were sold

at a median price of i6,500, up from i5,000 last year.

FROM DUNDALK TO CALIFORNIAby Gary King

Going Global (Ire) (Mehmas {Ire}) made an impressive U.S.

debut for trainer Phil D'Amato by taking Sunday's GIII Sweet Life

S. at Santa Anita. Formerly trained by Mick Halford in Ireland,

the 3-year-old filly was purchased privately this winter in a deal

structured by BBA Ireland's Michael Donohoe and Niall Dalton.

Gary King caught up with Donohoe on Monday morning to chat

about the win.

GK: What attracted you to Going Global?

MD: Her first run at Limerick really caught my eye and Niall's

[Dalton]. We liked her action and when she won her maiden at

Dundalk we liked the way she quickened to the line. It was a bit

of a gamble buying her off a Dundalk handicap win but it paid

off. It just goes to show how strong Irish race form is.

GK: Did she strike you as a California kind of horse?

MD: For sure. When I saw her in the flesh she looked the part,

well made with a great hip like a lot of the Mehmas progeny.

The Mehmases all seem to progress with racing which is a great

trait and are sound horses. For racing in California soundness is

so important.

Lot 160, Lady Paname | Arqana

Arqana February Mixed Sale Cont. from p1

The colours of British National Hunt owner Robert

Waley-Cohen have been carried with great success by some

notable French-breds in recent years, including the Cheltenham

Gold Cup winner Long Run (Fr)

(Cadoudal {Fr}) and Topham

Chase victrix Liberthine (Fr)

(Chamberlin {Fr}). The latest

acquisition by the owner of

Warwickshire's Upton Viva

Stud was the leading light of

day one, the AQPS gelding

Hardi Du Mesnil (Fr)

(Masterstroke). At i250,000,

the 4-year-old half-brother to

Gaillard Du Mesnil (Fr) (Saint

Des Saints {Fr}), recent winner

of a Grade 1 novices' hurdle

during the Dublin Racing

Festival, had several pursuers,

but it was David Powell who

lasted longest on Waley-Cohen's behalf.

He said, "He is a horse who deserves a bit of a battle. We are

going to let him have a break for a while to strengthen up."

Hardi Du Mesnil (lot 60) has to date won once on the Flat and,

most recently, over hurdles at Pau in January for trainer

Matthieu Palussiere.

The 7-year-old race mare Lady Paname (Fr) (Soldier Of

Fortune {Ire}) was the day's other six-figure lot, fetching a bid of

i120,000 from Sebastien Desmontils of Chauvigny Global

Equine standing alongside Pierric Rouxel of Haras de

Maulepaire.

Having started her racing career in France under the care of

Elie Lellouche, for whom she won and was placed in the G2

Qatar Prix Chaudenay and G3 Prix de Royaumont, Lady Paname

was sold to race in America, where she won Grade 3 contests at

Belmont and Aqueduct. Sold as lot 160 by La Motteraye

Consignment, she is out of the dual winner Business Class (GB)

(Aussie Rules {GB}). Her future will now be as a National Hunt

broodmare, with Haras de Montaigu's popular young stallion No

Risk At All (Fr) slated to be her first partner.

"We bought her for a

partnership between Ecurie

Drost and Ecurie Tygaly,"

explained Rouxel. "We're

delighted; she's a mare we've

been coveting for a while, and

we love her very much. She's

going to be a broodmare and

we will definitely be sending

her to No Risk At All."

A relatively new name on the

breeding front, Austrian-based

Sage Stud, made a

well-credentialed signing

through Chris Richner. The

agent went to i85,000 for

listed winner Oh Beautiful

(Ire), a daughter of Galileo (Ire) in foal to Shalaa (Ire).

The 12-year-old mare (lot 148) has produced two winners

from her three foals to race and is out of a half-sister to the

storied race mare and producer Cassandra Go (Ire) (Indian Ridge

{Ire}), whose talented dynasty includes the Group 1 winners

Halfway To Heaven (Ire) (Pivotal {GB}) and Magical (Ire) (Galileo

{Ire}).

"The owners have been in the business for over 30 years and

recently bought Sage Stud and completely renovated it," said

Richner. "This is the third year that they have come to Arqana

Sales to find quality mares."

The progressive young steeplechaser Laskalin (Fr) (Martaline

{GB}) was only added to the sale as a wildcard last week as lot

70 and he too found favour with a British-based owner, having

being bought through agent Guy Petit for i77,000. Cont. p3

Oh Beautiful sold as lot 148 | Arqana

Arqana February Mixed Sale Cont.

"After a rest, he will head to England to join the stable of

Venetia Williams," explained the agent. "He is no longer a novice

but he has the ideal profile to deal with big handicaps. We are

very pleased to have bought him."

The 6-year-old, a full-brother to fellow black-type-winning

jumper Laskaline (Fr), recently won the Listed Prix Bernard de

Dufau over fences at Pau for trainer MikaNl Mescam.

The final session of Arqana's February Sale begins on Tuesday

at 10 a.m.

From Dundalk to California Cont. from p1

GK: How have you found the horses-in-training market during

the last few months?

MD: To be honest, it=s been pretty good. Myself and Niall

working together have had a lot of success these last few

months and always have people looking for Irish horses.

GK: Mehmas obviously had a terrific year with his first

juveniles. Do you expect them to progress as 3-year-olds?

MD: Absolutely. Even though they have proven to be precocious

they are also seriously progressive. They seem to have that will

to win and are very sound. He really could be a very important

stallion in years to come and is in a very good hotel in Tally Ho.

So popular he has become I have only been able to secure one

nomination for my clients.

GK: Before I let you go, have you identified any under the radar

stallions in Europe for the upcoming breeding season?

MD: I have been hearing and seeing very good reports from

Churchill (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) (i30,000 at Coolmore)'s first crop

of 2-year-olds. Also, I think Shalaa (Ire) (Invincible Spirit {Ire})

(i15,000 at Haras de Bouquetot) will have a better 3-year-old

crop after a promising start with his first runners last season.

ALBADRI PRIMED FOR SAUDI DERBY

Jane Chapple-Hyam's Albadri (Ire) (Dandy Man {Ire}) will take

part in the $1.5-million Saudi Derby on the $20-million Saudi

Cup undercard on Feb. 20. A winner on debut, the bay colt raced

exclusively in stakes company in his next four starts, with his

best finish a fifth in the G3 Tattersalls S. in September. His final

2020 appearance was a sixth in the G3 Horris Hill S. two starts

later on Oct. 24. In his latest run, he handled the Southwell

synthetic well and saluted by a length in a handicap there on

Jan. 28.

AWe might be a 100-1 shot, but we got an invitation so may as

well give it a go,@ said the Suffolk trainer. AHe went on the

nearest I could find to dirt in England--which is Southwell. Hollie

[Doyle] was pleased with him, and he won.

AHe=s going out in really good order, and I=m flying out there

tonight [Monday]. It=s very competitive, but every now and

again you=ve got to dip your toe in the deep end. It=s not a

massive field--and because we got the invite, the owners were

keen, so why not?@

She added, AHopefully we can finish in the prize money--which

would help--and he=s come out of his race at Southwell very

well, and he went into that needing it. He=ll have been about

85% fit, so he=s bang on song now. We=ve always liked him. I=ve

always felt he would make up into a 100-rated horse, so he

needs to prove that on Saturday.

AThey=ll go quick, with the Americans and Japanese. When he

won on debut he came from off the pace, but he made the

running last time--so he=s versatile. Hollie rode him in the Horris

Hill and got a really good feel off him that day, which is

important to me because she believes in the horse. Hollie=s on

again.@

HOLLIE DOYLE'S APPEAL DENIED The Feb. 8 appeal made by Hollie Doyle in regards to a six-day

ban after improper use of the whip on Echo Brava (GB)

(Proclamation {Ire}) at Kempton was denied by the British

Horseracing Authority Disciplinary Panel, the BHA announced on

Monday. The six-day ban will stand. The Group 1-winning rider

had chosen to appeal after feeling that the stewards' tone when

conducting the original inquiry was objectionable.

CHESTER UNVEILS MASS ON-SITE TESTING

PLAN FOR BOODLES MAY FESTIVAL A plan for a mass lateral flow COVID-19 testing programme

was unveiled by Chester Race Company Ltd. on Monday. The

course's goal is to test up to 5,000 attendees per day at the

2021 Boodles May Festival on May 5-7. There would be three

separate testing sites, enabling 1,800 lateral flow tests per hour

to take place at the racecourse, with all attendees assigned a

specific testing site and allocated entry time. Cont. p6

There would also be staggered exit times. Fully-socially

distanced racing experiences are also in development, so that

racing fans can be in attendance safely.

AWe have been working very hard with local authorities to

build a clear operational procedure plan that could allow us to

safely welcome back a limited number of spectators for the

Boodles May Festival,@ said Chester Race Company Chief

Executive Richard Thomas. AThe delivery of mass on-site testing

is at the core of our stringent health and safety measures.

Chester Racecourse could provide on-site testing facilities for

5,000 attendees per day with results within minutes.

AOur overall aim is to deliver a safe, secure environment for an

enjoyable three days of racing and we hope that testing will give

an added confidence to our attendees, customers, and staff,

whose health and safety is of paramount importance.

AWe=re proud of our innovative approach here at Chester and

are keen to be one of the first venues to be able to bring crowds

back safely to live sport. Chester is known for providing a unique

race day experience for all attendees and we have developed a

number of new socially distanced concepts which will deliver an

exemplary level of safety and service.@

DAREDEVIL=S AUSPICIOUSRETURN

by Katie Ritz

A wise man changes his mind, but a fool never will. Such is the

association between the commercial market and Daredevil

(More Than Ready--Chasethewildwind, by Forestry). Luckily for

the third-crop sire, the market was quick to change its opinion

and Lane=s End jumped on the opportunity to bring him back.

After Daredevil failed to attract mares to fill his fourth book in

2019, WinStar Farm accepted an offer from the Jockey Club of

Turkey and the son of More Than Ready boarded a flight abroad

for last year=s breeding season.

But 11 days before the announcement was made of the

stallion=s relocation, a filly by the name of Swiss Skydiver broke

her maiden by 5 1/2 lengths at Churchill Downs for Kenny

McPeek.

This filly alone arguably could have changed the market=s

opinion of her sire, but then she ran second to another daughter

of Daredevil in the GI Kentucky Oaks. Shortly after Swiss

Skydiver=s gutsy duel with eventual Horse of the Year Authentic

(Into Mischief) to win the GI Preakness S., becoming just the sixth

filly in history to do so, it was announced that Daredevil would

return to his home country, relocating to Lane=s End Farm.

ADaredevil is just an incredible story,@ said Lane=s End=s Bill

Farish. AHe got off to such a phenomenal start with his 3-year-

olds, not having had that much 2-year-old form before, but to

finish first and second in the Kentucky Oaks and then go on to

win the Preakness with Swiss Skydiver, it=s amazing what he=s

done.@ Cont. p3

DOING HIS PART, HARBUT INTRODUCING

AFRICAN AMERICAN COLLEGE STUDENTS TO

RACING by Bill Finley Greg Harbut=s mission to make horse racing more diverse has

taken take him back to the classroom. Starting in January, he

began a lecture series as part of an entrepreneur residency

program at Wilberforce University in which he delivers the

message to the students at the historically Black university that

getting involved in racing can be a terrific career opportunity.

It=s his latest attempt to help racing solve what is clearly a

problem--its lack of diversity.

AIt=s a wonderful industry, an industry I hold near to my heart

and an industry that has afforded me a lot of opportunities,@

said Harbut, a bloodstock agent, which makes him one of the

few Blacks in a prominent role in the sport. AFrom a factual

standpoint, there just aren=t minorities in this business. We have

to make a strategic effort to go out and target people of color

and market to people of color.@ Cont. p4

Swiss Skydiver bests eventual Horse of the Year

Authentic in the GI Preakness S. | MJC

Daredevil's Auspicious Return (cont. from p1) Farish continued, ASo when we had the opportunity to bring

him back to the United States, we were very excited about it.@

Farish said demand was high when their negotiations were

made with the Turkish Jockey Club.

AI wish we were the only ones looking at him,@ he said. AWe

were just trying, as everybody else was, to find a deal that made

the most sense to them. At the end of the day, they wanted to

keep the whole horse. So that gave us an opportunity to get in

there and make our pitch. Ultimately they chose us, so we feel

very lucky.@

Daredevil will stand at Lane=s End as property of the Jockey

Club of Turkey. Farish said this point has brought up many

questions from breeders.

AIt kind of surprised us when people were assuming he might

go back and forth,@ he said. ABut given that we=re both in the

same hemisphere, that=s not really possible. It=s fully their

intention to leave him here. [Breeders= concern] really was

something that caught us off guard because their decision was

to send him back to where he is having the most success and

certainly [where he can] generate the most revenue for the

Jockey Club.@

Daredevil covered 97 mares while in Turkey, logging the

largest book of any stallion in the country. He had also covered

397 mares in the four years prior to his first relocation.

AI think one thing that=s often overlooked about Daredevil is

that he did have three good-sized books before he left,@ Farish

noted. ASo we really look for him not to have much of a fall off.

He only missed one breeding season here in North America, so I

don=t think that=s going to slow him down. I think he=s got a likely

chance to carry right on through.@

Cont. p4

http://www.thoroughbreddailynews.comhttps://gainesway.com/?utm_source=TDN&utm_medium=HPV&utm_campaign=KarakontieTapwritSpunToRun&utm_content=ValueAndQualityhttps://www.spendthriftfarm.com/authentichttps://lanesend.com/daredevilhttps://lanesend.com/daredevilhttps://lanesend.com/daredevilhttps://lanesend.com/daredevil


Despite his slower start with his 2-year-olds as a first-crop sire,

the stallion=s race record indicates he could have every chance

to pass on his precocity.

A $260,000 yearling purchase, the Todd Pletcher pupil broke

his maiden on debut by over six lengths and later caught a

speedy victory in the GI Champagne S. over eventual millionaire

Upstart (Flatter), scoring a 107 Beyer Speed Figure.

The Grade I winner is also a half-brother to millionaire

Albertus Maximus (Albert the Great), winner of the 2009

GI Donn H. His Grade I-winning second dam, Race the Wild Wind

(Sunny=s Halo), is also a European Group 1 producer. Grade I

winners Dayoutoftheoffice (Into Mischief) and Here Comes Ben

(Street Cry {Ire}) both appear under the second dam.

APhysically, Daredevil looks a lot like More Than Ready,@ said

Farish. AHe=s strong-made and good-boned. I wasn=t surprised at

all when I saw him; he looked a lot like I had hoped he would. I

think hopefully he=ll pass that on because he=s a great-looking

horse.@

When asked on the trends Farish anticipates from Daredevil=s

first crops upon his return, he replied, AI think we=re going to see

a lot of the same attributes that More Than Ready has. They can

run on the dirt and turf and we=ll see that same type of a very

strong-made, good-boned horse. That=s what we=ve seen so far.@

Daredevil=s star fillies are both on track to return for 4-year-old

campaigns. Shedaresthedevil is in training at Oaklawn and

trainer Brad Cox reported earlier this month that the Oaks

heroine may return in the GII Azeri S. Mar. 13. Last year=s

champion 3-year-old filly Swiss Skydiver recorded her first two

works of 2021 at Gulfstream in February.

ASwiss Skydiver is one of those dream fillies with the way she

strung together one phenomenal performance after another,@

said Farish. AIt would be one thing if she were the only horse

that he produced, but then he had another filly that won the

Oaks and then additional stakes performers as well. So he=s

really stamping himself as a super sire and so far, the breeders

have really responded.@

Aside from his Grade I-winning pair, several other youngsters

made headlines for their sire after his departure to Turkey.

Esplanande was undefeated in her first three starts last

summer, winning the Hoover S. and the Cleveland Kindergarten

S. for trainer Tim Hamm before running second to eventual

GI Breeders= Cup Juvenile Fillies winner Vequist (Nyquist) in the

GI Spinaway S. The sophomore filly is now recording works at

Tampa Bay Downs.

Jewel of Arabia ran third in her juvenile debut in 2019 in the

Stillwater S. and last year, broke her maiden by seven lengths

for Christophe Clemente before taking an allowance at Saratoga.

Daredevil wrapped up 2020 in the fourth slot for second-crop

sires by earnings with only 84 starters compared to the over 130

for each of the top three finishers. Both he and leading first-crop

sire American Pharoah led their class with two Grade I winners

each.

Daredevil will stand his first year at Lane's End at a stud fee of

$25,000.

ADemand has been really good from breeders,@ Farish said.

AHe=s a good-looking horse. Everybody that comes to see him is

just positive all the way around and generally want to breed to

him. He=s a very reasonably-priced horse, for a horse that had

two Classic winners in 2020, so we=re looking forward to more

great things from him.@

Harbut Introducing African American

College Students to Racing (cont. from p1) The Harbut family history in racing traces all the way back to

the early twentieth century. Harbut=s great-grandfather, Will,

was the long-time groom of Man o=War. His grandfather, Tom,

became the stallion manager at Spendthrift Farm and co-owned

a horse that ran in the 1962 Kentucky Derby. Because he was

Black, Tom Harbut was not allowed to sit in the grandstand

Derby Day to watch his horse race.

Greg Harbut=s father did not get involved in the sport, but that

didn=t stop his son from going into the business. The owner of

Harbut Bloodstock, Harbut specializes in finding top-class

broodmares for his clients, many of whom are overseas. He is

also the co-owner of Necker Island (Hard Spun), a starter in the

2020 GI Kentucky Derby. Cont. p5

Greg Harbut | Matt Goins

Harbut=s participation in the Derby at a time that Louisville was

reeling over the death of Breonna Taylor, became a well-

documented story and it caught the attention of Wilberforce=s

Dr. Taisha Bradley, the school's executive vice president and

chief innovation officer. She knew that he had a story to tell,

how an African American man can make it in a predominantly

white industry.

AThis is still a prime example about learning to break down

barriers and allow your imagination to run wild,@ Harbut said.

AThis will give exposure and the possibility for them to find what

they're passionate about so they can achieve success and then

explore it. We all start with one step.@

He said that about 30 students at the school that is located just

outside Dayton, Ohio will attend his lectures and he hopes to

work with others to get some of them internships in various

segments of the industry.

Harbut, a Lexington resident, is also one of the founders of the

Ed Brown Society. Born into slavery, Brown became one of the

top horsemen of his time. He won the 1870 Belmont S. as a

jockey and the 1877 Kentucky Derby as a trainer. The society

will provide scholarships for minority students interested in

going into racing. Harbut has also started Living the Dream

Stable, a partnership focusing on attracting Blacks into

ownership.

He said that the easiest way to connect with the younger

generation is to tell them about the history of African Americans

in the early days of the sport. Fifteen of the first 28 Kentucky

Derbies were won by Black jockeys.

AI tell them about these trainers and jockeys,@ he said. AThey

were the LeBron James and Michael Jordan of their era. Horse

racing was pretty much the only sport in town and they

dominated and they were well compensated.@

Today, there are only a handful of Black jockeys and from 1921

to 2000, not a single Black rode in the race. It=s not just jockeys.

There are very few Black trainers, owners, breeders or racing

executives. There was a time when many backstretch jobs went

to Blacks. Today, that no longer is the case as the predominant

ethnic group on the backstretch is Latinos. Even Black fans of

the sport seem to be in short supply.

It=s a reason why Harbut sometimes feels out of place when at

the racetrack.

AThere are racetracks that could be a lot more welcoming,@ he

said. AI don=t know how many times I have walked into a

clubhouse or a suite and it=s presumed that I am lost. No I am

not lost. In fact, this is where I belong and I=m quite comfortable

in this type of setting. Just retraining staff to better deal with

something like this would go a long way.@

To Harbut, solving the diversity problems would not just be

good for minorities, but for the sport as a whole.

AIf you look at other sports that are considered mainstream

sports that had been lacking minority participation, they

understood why this was a problem,@ he said. AThey went out

and made it a strategic point to appeal to a broader audience. A

prime example is NASCAR. Through their diversity program, they

produced Bubba Wallace. When a particular group is not

represented in a sport, they are not going to be fans. When you

look around and you don=t see anyone that looks like you,

whether it=s a trainer, jockey or fan, that=s a problem. It=s a

barrier the sport has to overcome.@

Harbut is doing what he can and so is Ray Daniels, the co-

owner of Necker Island and another co-founder of the Ed Brown

Society. But Harbut says he cannot do this alone and that the

entire industry must come together to sell itself to Blacks.

AYou are dealing with an industry that could do a lot better

when it comes to inclusion and diversity,@ he said.

Harbut will continue to do his part, which, for now, means

delivering lectures he hopes will open the eyes of Wilberforce

students. The goal is simple--to convince them to give the horse

racing business a try.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

LIFE IS GOOD ON TRACK FOR SAN FELIPE China Horse Club and WinStar Farm's Life is Good (Into

Mischief) tuned up for an expected start in the Mar. 6 GII San

Felipe S. with a five-furlong work in 1:00.80 (4/33) at Santa Anita

Monday morning.

AHe went extremely well,@ trainer Bob Baffert said of the

3-year-old colt's effort.

Tabbed a 'TDN Rising Star' following a debut win at Del Mar

last November, Life is Good is now two-for-two after opening his

sophomore campaign with a win in the Jan. 2 GIII Sham S.

Also working Monday from the Baffert barn, Freedom Fighter

(Violence) went four furlongs in :48.60 (11/66). The 3-year-old

colt, a first-out victor at Del Mar last August, returned to finish

second in the Feb. 6 GII San Vicente S. He is expected to make

his next start in the Mar. 6 GIII Gotham S. at Aqueduct.

Both the San Felipe and the Gotham offer 50 Kentucky Derby

qualifying points to the winner, and 20, 10, five to the horses

finishing second through fourth.

The Baffert-trained Gamine (Into Mischief), recently crowned

Eclipse champion female sprinter, also worked Monday at Santa

Anita, covering four furlongs in an easy :50.20 (48/66). The

4-year-old was most recently seen winning the GI Breeders' Cup

F/M Sprint last November.

In other news from Santa Anita, the Arcadia track announced

Monday that it has increased the purse of the China Doll S. to be

run Mar. 6 from $75,000 to $100,000. Santa Anita will also raise

purses on all overnight races on that day's Big >Cap card by

$15,000 per race.

PAUL BERUBE

Bill Finley's report (Week In Review) in the Feb. 9 edition of

TDN on NYRA's action to restrict wagering on its Pick 5 and

Pick 6 wagers by computer-assisted wagering (CAW) players

caught my attention, as does any article written on this form of

wagering, which I call computer robotic wagering or bots for

short.

My experience with the bots and their very smart and well-

capitalized owner managers goes back 20 years or so. Then, as

now, my opinion on wagering by the bots is that over the long

haul, it is destructive to the pari-mutuel business. Bill makes the

good points that the bots are pumping millions upon millions

into racetrack pools and that this handle is coveted by tracks.

Left unsaid, however, is the very real fact that wagering done via

bots is totally reactive to pool money wagered by all other

players, whether you call them normal, regulars, casual fans,

squares or dumb money.

When the mathematical formulas used by the bots see an

imbalance or value in the pools made by other players, this is

when the bots craft and place bets to capture the perceived

value. Naturally, the most effective time for these types of

wagers to be made is as late as possible before pools close and

this is why, on a daily basis, straight wagering odds and probable

payoffs frequently drop sharply in the last wagering cycle. It

cannot be overstated that the daily action of the bots is totally

dependent on the other money coming from all other players. If

these players wager less for whatever reason, the bots will also

reduce proportionately. The life blood of the bots is other

peoples' money and the only growth in bots wagering comes

from this money.

Earlier I labeled bots wagering as destructive to pari-mutuel

wagering. When the bots win their wagers, the normal or

regular players experience reduced payoffs which over time

means less money in their pockets and less money to churn.

When bots win, that normal churn factor is lost, because again,

the bots only wager in proportion to the Aother@ money in the

pools. When they hit in the big Pick 5/6 pools, their winnings or

profits likely go into lifestyle purchases or other investments and

thus are lost for good insofar as pari-mutuel betting.

In the short term, the liquidity provided by bots wagering is

enticing to racetracks, but in the long term--and racing today is

squarely in the long term--the smaller payouts to other bettors,

the tremendous money shift or negative settlements from host

tracks and off-track wagering venues to the locations that host

the bots means that an untold amount of churn has been and

continues to be lost. I would offer that this is a major reason

why annual pari-mutuel handle totals in the U.S. have not seen

any real growth over these many years.

Finley also referred to the payment of rebates to the computer

teams or players. The de facto increase in takeout to all other

bettors and inherent unfairness to them is a whole other story

that is worthy of further analysis.

So where does racing as a whole go from here? For sure it was

easier to accept bots wagering into our pools than it will ever be

to effectively control or eliminate it. But at some point in the

future, racing operators will be forced to confront this reality.

For racing to expend effort to create new fans and bettors is

indeed a worthy venture especially for the bots who always

need fresh money in their business model.

480 TRAINERS ACCEPTED TO 2021 TB MAKEOVER

CLASS Edited Press Release The Retired Racehorse Project (RRP) has welcomed 484

accepted applications, representing 480 unique trainers and

teams, to the 2021 class of the Thoroughbred Makeover and

National Symposium, presented by Thoroughbred Charities of

America. The Thoroughbred Makeover is the world=s largest and

most lucrative retraining competition for ex-racehorses, and the

2021 class combined with 322 trainers from the postponed 2020

competition year will make this the biggest Makeover yet.

AAfter the pandemic forced the cancellation of the 2020

Thoroughbred Makeover, it was important to us to preserve the

opportunity for our 2020 class to compete, and thanks to so

many loyal sponsors and donors from the racing, breeding and

sport horse worlds, we are going to be putting on the largest

retraining competition in history,@ said RRP executive director

Jen Roytz.

Accepted trainers are encouraged to register their horses at

TBMakeover.org as soon as they acquire them. Horse

registration closes July 31, but registration upon acquisition

allows the RRP to better gather data on horses undergoing the

Makeover process.

Accepted trainers for 2021 include Becky Huestis, assistant

rider and manager for John Madden Sales; Darby Mazzarisi,

champion hunter trainer; and Natalie (Voss) Nevills, a three-time

Eclipse Award-winning turf writer for the Paulick Report. They

join a diverse class of trainers hailing from 46 states and four

Canadian provinces. Trainers range in age from 11 (will be 12 at

the time of the Makeover as per rules) to 74.

My Boy Tate, who most recently visited the winner's circle in a

Parx allowance last September, redeemed himself with a closing

score in the Hollie Hughes S. on Presidents' Day at Aqueduct.

Since that autumn victory, he was a neck second when

defending his title in the restricted New York Stallion Series S.

here in November, before rolling a pair of fours--in the Jan. 2

Gravesend S. and Jan. 9 Say Florida Sandy S., both at Aqueduct.

Second choice behind Tribecca, the bay loitered at the back of

the four-horse field behind splits of :22.98 and :46.71. Steered

out three deep inside the final quarter mile, he took a few

strides to gain momentum, but ultimately motored past his

rivals a few jumps from the wire to win handily. Big Engine

overtook the pacesetting Tribecca in upper stretch, but could

not withstand My Boy Tate's withering rally.

AIt was the perfect setup,@ said co-owner and breeder/trainer

Michelle Nevin, who also had Our Last Buck (Courageous Cat)

entered before a late scratch. AManny [Franco] did the right

thing. he sat chilly and let them come back to him.

AI was mad at myself last month [fourth in the Say Florida

Sandy on Jan. 9], but the temptation of coming back against a

small field made me come back too quick. The scenario of the

race looked like it was void of speed [today] and he has speed.

But as he has gotten older, he=s changed his ways. He=s happier

to let them go a little bit, settle in and then come with a run.

AIt=s great to see him run. He=s been a fun horse since he was a

baby. He keeps showing up for me and keeps trying.@

The second foal and one of four winners out of his winning

dam, My Boy Tate has a Bernardini juvenile half-sister, and a

yearling half-sister by Frosted. Out of the GII Beaumont S.

bridesmaid Secret Hills (Secret Hello), his dam is due this spring

to Congrats. Click for the Equibase.com chart or VIDEO,

Superstition | Benoit

The speedy Superstition, never out of the trifecta in five turf

starts, picked up her first black-type score in Monday's featured

Wishing Well S. sprinting on the Santa Anita turf.

A well-beaten fifth when unveiled over the Del Mar dirt two

summers ago, the $850,000 Keeneland September buy was laid

up for nearly 14 months before returning with a pair of seconds

on the local lawn last fall. Graduating by open lengths back at

Del Mar Nov. 14, the dark bay repeated in an allowance there

15 days later and was fourth--later elevated to third via

disqualification--in her stakes bow in the GIII Las Cienegas S.

here Jan. 9.

Showing a sharp interim worktab highlighted by a half-mile

bullet in :47 3/5 (1/35) here Feb. 3, Superstition was made the

clear third choice and tracked a tear-off longshot leader from

second through scorching fractions of :20.75 and :43.03.

Overhauling the spent leader passing the eighth pole, she

skipped clear and easily held off a mild late bid from Grade I

winner Oleksandra to score.

The winner's GSW full-sister Gloryzapper sold for $1.5 million

to Summer Wind Equine at Keeneland November in 2019 shortly

after her now 3-year-old Medaglia d'Oro filly, unraced A La

Lucie, sold for $1.1 million at Keeneland September. Grand

Glory, who hammered to WinStar Farm with the winner in utero

at Fasig-Tipton November in 2016, produced a colt by City of

Light last term. Click for the Equibase.com chart or VIDEO,

sponsored by Fasig-Tipton.

IN ORDER OF PURSE:

5th-Santa Anita, $63,500, (S), Msw, 2-15, 3yo, 6fT, 1:09.04, fm,

1 1/2 lengths.

LIKE THE WIND (c, 3, Phantom Wildcat--Windy O, by Olympio),

let go at 10-1 off a 4-1 morning-line quote in this career bow

and ran greenly early before finding his feet and tracking the

pace from second through a :21.96 quarter. Drawing on even

terms past a :44.93 half, the blinkered bay took charge while

staying on his left lead outside the eighth pole and kicked clear

to best heavily-favored firster Cargo (Point of Entry) by 1 1/2

lengths. The winner is a full-brother to Mo Soul, SW, $152,365.

His dam visited Cat Burglar last term. Sales History: $70,000 Ylg

HOZIER (c, 3, Pioneerof the Nile--Merry Meadow {MGSW,

$852,800}, by Henny Hughes), fourth behind 'TDN Rising Star'

and future GII San Vicente S. hero Concert Tour (Street Sense)

when unveiled sprinting locally Jan. 15, was sent off at 14-5 for

this route bow. The bay assumed a stalking position snug against

the inside as stablemate Fenway (Into Mischief) rolled through

the first quarter in :23.92. Content to remain in a tracking third

for the backstretch run, Hozier began to improve nearing the far

turn and set sail for the leader. He built up a full head of steam,

swung off the fence in upper stretch and rolled past the

longtime frontrunner to win going away by 1 3/4 lengths. The

first foal out of his four-time graded-winning dam, he has a

juvenile half-sister by Union Rags and an Uncle Mo yearling half-

brother. Merry Meadow, out of an Allen's Prospect half-sister to

GI Strub S. and GI Pegasus H. hero Diazo (Jade Hunter), visited

the court of Constitution last year. Sales History: $625,000 Ylg

KITTEN'S WALTZ (f, 3, Air Force Blue--Dance With Kitten, by

Kitten's Joy) got her young sire (by War Front) off the mark in

Japan with remarkable last-to-first victory. Clearly last into

stride, the dark bay filly spotted the leaders the better part of 15

lengths through the opening stages before being asked to

improve with fully five furlongs to travel. Kitten's Waltz made

dramatic progress outside of rivals to be within striking distance

entering the final 600 meters, but was consigned to a very wide

run around the turn. Four deep at the top of the lane, she kept

on determinedly and hit the wire a neck to the good as the 17-5

second betting favorite. The winner's dam, a full-sister to

MGISW and Airdrie sire Divisidero and to GSP Kitten's Kid, is

responsible for the 2-year-old colt Suetonius (Carpe Diem), a

yearling colt by Airdrie's Collected and was most recently bred

to Yoshida (Jpn). Air Force Blue was nearly represented by a

second winner at the weekend when Slap Shot (Jpn) went down

by a neck in a 1400-meter newcomers' event Sunday at Tokyo.
