STAR TRIO SET IN PACIFIC CLASSIC FOR THE AGESBy Jeremy Balan

With fingers crossed all across the country from fans hoping for a clash of West Coast superstars Aug. 20 in the TVG Pacific Classic (gr. I), the stage is finally set.

California Chrome, Beholder, and Dortmund are all

entered in Del Mar's summer feature.

Outside of the Breeders' Cup, there's not much more

to ask for from the standpoint of an elite matchup. The

trio features 17 grade/group I wins, five Eclipse Awards,

and more than $19.2 million in earnings combined from

38 overall victories between them.

All three have been dominant for stretches of time in

California, but each enters the race uniquely positioned

following their last start.

California Chrome and Dortmund both could turn

in an improved effort—although that might be hard to

imagine—in the 1 1/4-mile Classic following a one-two

finish in the July 23 San Diego Handicap (gr. II) that fea-

tured a stretch duel to remember. Both were coming off

significant layoffs; California Chrome made his first start

since his March 26 Dubai World Cup (UAE-I) win, while

Kaleem Shah's Dortmund made his 4-year-old debut

and his first start in nearly eight months.

The path to the Breeders' Cup for Dortmund has

always set up for a run in the Pacific Classic, but the Big

Brown colt's game second in the San Diego sealed the

deal.

"He was training well going into the race and we

expected him to run well," Shah said of the Bob Baffert

trainee. "But it was his first race back. Building up to

the Breeders' Cup Classic (gr. I), the natural progression

was always the San Diego, Pacific Classic, and Awesome

Again (gr. I), but we take it one race at a time."

Dortmund will have the benefit of an outside draw

in the field of nine, as opposed to his rail spot for the

San Diego. He'll be in post 8 with first-time jockey Rafael

Bejarano, just inside Dalmore—the only 3-year-old in the

field—while California Chrome drew the rail this time.

Trainer Art Sherman said the son of Lucky Pulpit will

likely have to show more speed early from that spot to

get positioned under jockey Victor Espinoza.

"I wouldn't have been my top choice, but what hap-

pens is what happens," Sherman said. "We might have

to ride a different race from there. He just seems to run

more comfortable on the outside. He likes to be in the

clear when he's running.

"But with his kind of speed, he's going to come away

from there running. From then on, we'll see."

Like her two rivals, Beholder is coming off a hard-

fought prep. In the Clement L. Hirsch (gr. I) Aug. 30 at

Del Mar, she finished a tight second to fellow champion

Stellar Wind.

The loss ended an eight-race win streak for the

Spendthrift Farm mare dating back to 2014, and Hall

of Fame trainer Richard Mandella waited as long as he

could to decide whether to have the three-time champi-

on defend her title in the Pacific Classic, a race she won

by 8 1/4 lengths in 2015.

"What put us over the hump was Richard," said Spend-

thrift general manager Ned Toffey. "(Spendthrift owner

B. Wayne) Hughes was very clear that he did not want to

get in the middle of this. The Pacific Classic was the plan.

We've all known that for a while and hoped that would

be what materialized, but after she got beat, Mr. Hughes'

approach was to stay out of it and let Richard tell us.

(continued from page 1)

STAR TRIO SET IN PACIFIC CLASSIC FOR THE AGES

"She was going to tell him and he was going to tell

us."

"I looked for a week to find a reason not to run in this

race because it is a hell of an undertaking, and I couldn't

find any," Mandella said. "She had a great work, came

out of it great, and you only live once."

Mandella said Beholder's strategy will likely be to

stalk the early pace after breaking from post 7 under

Gary Stevens, just as she did in her Pacific Classic score

last year, when she blew by the frontrunners with a

breathtaking move in the final turn. In the Hirsch, Be-

holder took to the front, allowing Stellar Wind to stalk

and pounce just to the outside.

"If Beholder runs back to her Pacific Classic last year,

I don't think anybody has much of a chance to beat her,"

Toffey said.

Sherman also spoke to the tactics of the race, but

admitted with three horses that essentially have the

same running style, it is hard to separate one.

"You get to this caliber and it's going to be tougher

now. … It’s not going to be an easy go for anybody,"

Sherman said. “You've got three horses with similar

running styles and something has got to give."

Although the focus is on the three favorites—Cali-

fornia Chrome is 8-5 on the morning line, followed by

Dortmund (5-2) and Beholder (3-1)—connections of

the star runners are not ruling anyone out. The race

also drew grade I winners Hoppertunity and Hard

Aces, graded victors Imperative and Dalmore, and

graded stakes-placed runners War Story and Win the

Space.

"Everybody is talking about these three horses, but

I wouldn't rule out any horse pulling an upset. … Even

Cigar lost (the 1996 Pacific Classic),” Shah said.

The prevailing sentiment from practically every-

one involved is appreciation. One of the most signif-

icant races on the West Coast deserves a standout

field to draw the attention of the racing world.

"That's the competition of the business—who is

going to be the better horse?" Sherman said. "I'm

sure they all think they can win it. You've got the

three best handicap horses in the country in one

race, and that makes it exciting."

"This is what horse racing is all about," Shah said.

"It's good for the fans and good for the sport. Let the

best horse win. ... The drama of the superstars in the

race—that's what it's all about." BH

POSTPONED TAKES DOWN JUDDMONTE INTERNATIONALBy Frank Angst

For a race that saw no order change in the top two finishers after a decisive move at the top of the stretch, Postponed's victory in the £546,542.62

($710,505) Juddmonte International (Eng-I) supplied a

heaping dose of late intrigue.

Already racing near the center of the York course,

Postponed moved farther outside in deep stretch

under jockey Andrea Atzeni and finished the race just

a path away—at most—from the outside rail, a move

that left third-place finisher Mutakayyef, who also was

racing near the outer rail, short of running room late.

Meanwhile, Highland Reel continued on well to

finish second after relinquishing the lead to 15-8

favorite Postponed soon after the field turned for

home. The most serious late threat to Postponed

appeared to be Sheikh Hamdan's Mutakayyef, who

entered Wednesday's test off an easy win in the one-

mile Fred Cowley MBE Memorial Summer Mile Stakes

(Eng-II) July 9 at Ascot and continued that good form

when stretched out in the Juddmonte International.

It appeared jockey Paul Hanagan wanted to take

Mutakayyef outside the winner, but Atzeni and Post-

poned took that lane away.

"I thought he was going to win. Paul (Hanagan)

said he just ran out of room," Mutakayyef's trainer,

William Haggas said. "The winner started his run

down the middle but ended up near us on the near

side. I would have just liked them all to run in a

straight line so we could have known."

Postponed again was in good form during his first

run in 74 days, a stretch that included a respiratory

infection that knocked him out of the July 23 King

George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes (Eng-I), a race

he won last year. The 5-year-old son of Dubawi com-

pleted the 1 5/16-mile race in 2:06.58 on good to firm

turf.

"He turned the corner two weeks ago. In the last

seven days, he looks to have blossomed," said win-

ning trainer Roger Varian, who said Postponed can

improve off Wednesday's win. "A week ago I wouldn't

have known if I was running him here. We're not hav-

ing loads of winners at the moment, so you're never

quite sure. I trusted in the horse's condition and he

delivered."

With the win, Postponed is ensured a spot in the

Longines Breeders' Cup Turf (gr. IT), as the Juddmon-

te International is a Breeders' Cup Challenge "Win &

You're In" event. Varian did not mention that pos-

sibility, but did say he was leaning toward training

Postponed up to the Oct. 2 Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe

(Fr-I), scheduled this year for Chantilly.

With the Juddmonte International win, Sheikh

Mohammed Obaid Al Mak-

toum's Postponed extend-

ed his victory stretch to

six straight races including

three other group I scores

during that streak: last year's

King George VI and Queen

Elizabeth, and this year's Du-

bai Sheema Classic present-

ed by Longines at Meydan

and the Queen Elizabeth II

Coronation Cup at Epsom.

"He's great, isn't he?"

Atzeni said. "He's got too

much class. I think people un-

derrate him. I think he's one

of the best in the business

we've seen for a while." BH

SONGBIRD SET TO STRETCH OUT FOR ALABAMABy Will Robbins

Six challengers will attempt to dethrone undefeat-ed champion Songbird in the $600,000 Alabama Stakes (gr. I) Aug. 20 at Saratoga Race Course.

Fox Hill Farm's untouchable filly has displayed re-

markable versatility in nine career starts, winning by

a combined 47 3/4 lengths at distances ranging from

six furlongs to 1 1/8 miles. The 1 1/4-mile Alabama

will mark the farthest she's ever run.

"Based on appearances and looking at her record

on paper, you'd have to think that she wouldn't

have any trouble getting a mile and a quarter,"

trainer Jerry Hollendorfer said the morning of Aug.

17. "I firmly believe that if we had decided to run in

the Delaware Handicap on the 15th (of July) instead

of coming here and running in the Coaching Club

American Oaks (gr. I), we were fully prepared to go

a mile and a quarter. I feel like an extra eighth of a

mile should be right up her alley.

"She's trained well on every racetrack—Keene-

land, Santa Anita, and Del Mar—she just trains well

on any surface. She's so consistent and such a sweet-

heart around the barn. She came here to Saratoga

and settled right in, and you know I'll probably take

her home after the race and I think she'll settle right

back in at Del Mar. We're looking forward to running

on Saturday. It'll be interesting."

Hollendorfer won the 2010 Alabama with cham-

pion 3-year-old filly and six-time grade I winner Blind

Luck. Songbird will break from the 6 hole under reg-

ular rider Mike Smith. She breezed a half-mile Aug.

15 in her final work for her second start at Saratoga,

and was clocked in splits of :24.22 and :47.49, with a

gallop out in 1:01.19.

"It was smooth, in her regular Songbird fashion,"

said assistant trainer Christina Jelm.

Last year's Alabama winner Embellish the Lace,

who did not run in the CCA Oaks, ended a three-year

streak of consecutive CCA Oaks-Alabama winners;

Questing, Princess of Sylmar, and Stopchargingmaria

all brought home the grade I double.

Coffeepot Stables' CCA Oaks third-place finisher

Flora Dora returns in this spot, adding blinkers after

two bullet works with the new equipment.

"She's been a bit more focused," said trainer Mari-

alice Coffey. "Instead of looking at the horses as she's

passing them, she seems to be looking down the

lane a little bit better. She went like a monster, but

she isn't trying; she's just

doing it very easily."

Other contenders

include WinStar Farms'

Dark Nile, who won the

Delaware Oaks (gr. III) in

her last start, Mike Tarp's

Black-Eyed Susan (gr. II)

winner Go Maggie Go,

and Gary and Mary West's

grade II winner Family

Tree.

The Alabama is one of

two back-to-back grade I

races slotted on the card,

as the Fourstardave was

rescheduled to Saturday

after the final six races of

the Aug. 13 card were can-

celled because of severe

weather. BH

TARA'S TANGO SPRINTS TO RANCHO BERNARDO SCOREBy Jeremy Balan

Already a two-time graded winner going two turns, Tara's Tango added a sprint score to her resume Aug. 17 in the $100,000 Rancho Bernardo

Handicap (gr. IIIT) at Del Mar.

Stonestreet Stables' homebred 4-year-old

Unbridled's Song filly won just her second race

sprinting in Wednesday's feature at 6 1/2 furlongs.

Her only other victory in a one-turn race came in

2014 at Del Mar, where she won her five-furlong

debut as a 2-year-old. She now has a 5-3-2 record

from 12 starts and $738,004 in earnings.

The Jerry Hollendorfer trainee was all class in

the stretch of the Rancho Bernardo. Under Mar-

tin Garcia—also aboard for her score in the Santa

Maria (gr. II) in February before her victory in the

Santa Margarita (gr. I) with Rafael Bejarano in the

irons—she advanced on the early leaders entering

the bend after tracking 2-1 favorite Sensitively's early

fractions of :21.76 and :44.79, then angled out to find

space after encountering a three-wide wall of horses

heading into the stretch. The gray or roan filly passed

35-1 shot Coniah as other runners tired, then held

off a late drive from Enchanting Lady—who closed

from last—to win by a half-length. The final time was

1:15.60

Coniah managed third, 5 1/4 lengths ahead of

Pretty N Cool. Lost Bus and Sensitively completed the

order of finish. BH

SIYOUNI COLTS HEAD VIBRANT ARQANA V2 TRADEBy Scott Burton Courtesy of Racing Post

A pair of colts by Siyouni held sway at the top of the leaderboard at Arqana's one-day V2 yearling sale Aug. 17, with both due for a return to Deauville next

May for the breeze-up.

A product of Thierry de la Heronniere's Haras

d'Ellon, the €125,000 sale-topper sold to pinhooker

Roger Marley.

Heronniere enjoyed great success this season with

a daughter of Siyouni in Volta, while the maternal

side of the family features Prix Maurice de Gheest

(Fr-I) heroine Porlezza as second dam.

"He's a lovely individual," said Marley. "We had

two Siyouni's this year and they were both very fast.

It's a nice pedigree. ...We hoped to give a little bit less

but we wanted the horse. This is one of our picks of

the day."

The second six-figure Siyouni was offered by Haras

d'Etreham, the second-highest grossing vendor on

the day. Jim McCartan was pleased to get the colt at

€105,000 shortly before departing for Ireland.

"I thought he was one of the nicest horses here to-

day and I was hoping he'd sell before I had to leave,"

said McCartan, who sold one of the stallion's first

crop at the 2015 Saint-Cloud breeze-up for €260,000.

It should not come as a huge surprise that Jean-

Claude Rouget is ready to support first-season sire

Declaration Of War, having been responsible for the

son of War Front in his unbeaten 2-year-old season

before he was transferred to the care of Ballydoyle

and Aidan O'Brien at three.

Rouget parted with €100,000 for a colt by the

sire—the second foal out of the winning Pivotal mare

Super Pie—hailing from the sale's leading consignor,

Haras des Capucines.

Rouget will also take a Dabirsim colt from the

Haras de Montaigu after Nicolas de Watrigant went

to €85,000. Out of the listed stakes-winning Soave

mare Calahorra, De Watrigant's purchase was for a

new Qatari client.

Haras de la Cauviniere's Sylvain Vidal signed for three

of the top eight lots, led by the priciest filly at the sale,

a €90,000 sister of the Prix Jean-Luc Lagardere (Fr-I)

runner-up Maiguri purchased on behalf of Gerard Au-

gustin-Normand. He also continued his support of Cau-

viniere's stallions, paying €85,000 for a Le Havre colt and

€75,000 for a Rajsaman filly.

Although the clearance rate was fractionally down

from last year, the sale proved solid through other

key indicators. The registered turnover of €3,481,000

was a 14% gain from last year, and the average price

set a record in the sale’s four-year history at €39,897,

up 17.6% as 30 horses sold

for €50,000 compared with 14

a year ago. The median price

rose 13% from €30,000 to

€34,000.

"This sale is beginning to

attain its own identity, with a

more precocious type of ped-

igree," said Arqana president

Eric Hoyeau. "This year there

was a fair uniformity in the

shape and size of the horses of-

fered, while the number of lots

that made more than €50,000

increased significantly."

PRINCESS HAYA IFHA CONFERENCE KEYNOTE SPEAKERBy Blood-Horse Staff

HRH Princess Haya Al Hussein, one of the promi-nent leaders in equine sport, will be the keynote speaker at the 50th International Conference of

Horseracing Authorities, organized by the Interna-

tional Federation of Horseracing Authorities Oct. 3 in

Paris.

As president of the Federation Equestre Inter-

nationale from 2006 to 2014, Princess Haya led the

global equestrian sports governing body to a number

of significant milestones, including the FEI Solidar-

ity program, FEI Clean Sport, an affiliation with the

World Organization for Animal Health, a 10-year term

partnership with the renowned Swiss watchmaker

Longines, and the securing of numerous long-term

broadcast arrangements for the distribution of

equestrian sport.

Also during her tenure, the FEI and the IFHA joined

forces to create the International Horse Sports Con-

federation as a vehicle for dialog and

cooperation between the two global

federations on a number of funda-

mental issues, such as horse welfare,

movement of horses, and doping

control. Princess Haya has been a not-

ed owner of racehorses and was the

leading owner in Great Britain in 2008,

highlighted by the Epsom Derby (Eng-I)

victory of New Approach. She received

the Longines Ladies Award in 2015.

"Her Royal Highness Princess Haya

has been one of the most prominent fig-

ures in equestrian sport throughout her

distinguished career," IFHA chairman

Louis Romanet said. "Her accomplish-

ments as an Olympian, as FEI president,

and as a racehorse owner are equally

matched by her charitable endeavors

and humanitarian efforts throughout

the global community. It is an honor

that Princess Haya will address the IFHA

at the 50th International Conference of

Horseracing Authorities."

Romanet at the conference will com-

memorate the accomplishments of

the past 50 years of the annual forum,

as well as address the core opportunities and chal-

lenges to international horse racing for the future.

The three vice chairmen of the IFHA will lead

the other main sessions of the conference. Horse

Racing Ireland chief executive Brian Kavanagh will

oversee the topic "Promoting and Attracting Race-

horse Ownership," The Jockey Club (USA) president

Jim Gagliano will moderate a panel titled, "Providing

Aftercare Solutions at a Global Level," and Hong Kong

Jockey Club chief executive officer Winfried Engel-

brecht-Bresges will chair the session "Strategies to

Secure and Grow Revenues for Racing."

The full agenda will be released in the weeks

leading into the conference.

A live video stream of the Open Forum of the

conference will be available on the IFHA's website. A

replay of the live video stream and presentations will

be available in the days following the event. BH

NYRA DEFENDS FINANCIAL REPORTBy Tom Precious

The head of the New York Racing Association tan-gled with a state financial oversight board mem-ber Aug. 16 in a dispute over how the racing corpora-

tion reports on its financial performance.

"Stop," said Steve Newman, a member of the New

York state Franchise Oversight Board, who interrupt-

ed a NYRA executive who was presenting an other-

wise pro forma report on NYRA's second-quarter

financial results.

Newman complained NYRA was again offering a

rosier-than-reality presentation by including revenue

from the casino at Aqueduct Racetrack. NYRA gets a

portion of the revenue from video lottery terminals

operated by Genting Group.

NYRA reported a loss on racing operations of $4.3

million between January and the end of June; NYRA

president and chief executive officer Chris Kay told

Newman NYRA typically performs financially better

in the second half of years because of revenues from

Saratoga Race Course.

Newman said NYRA was giving the board a false

impression by allowing it to "claim that a $5 million

loss is somehow a profit," accused NYRA of "obfus-

cating" the facts to the public, and said NYRA should

show proceeds from the Aqueduct casino separate

from racing operations. NYRA has been criticized for

using VLT proceeds to mask financial issues on its

racing side.

Instead, Newman said, NYRA is "clearly sending a

message to the public that's just not real."

"I respectfully disagree with you," Kay told New-

man from a meeting room at the state Capitol.

Newman was video-streamed from a New York City

location.

"We are doing nothing to obfuscate any of the

facts, and we answer all of your questions," Kay said.

NYRA was taken over by the state in 2012 in what

was originally supposed to be a three-year reorgan-

ization period. Gov. Andrew Cuomo and lawmakers

again this year could not agree on a privatization plan

and extended the state's control until at least the end

of 2017.

In a less combative period during Tuesday's

oversight meeting, the panel approved a final

environmental impact statement for future devel-

opment at Saratoga.

Robert Williams, head of the Franchise Oversight

Board who is also executive director of the New York

State Gaming Commission, said the plan—including

changes to the front and backstretch areas, new

buildings, and additional parking—amounts to the

"quintessential long-term planning" document for the

track for the next 10 years.

Williams, though, cautioned that individual capital

projects must still ace separate reviews, including

by the Franchise Oversight Board and the New York

state parks and historic preservation agency.

In its financial presentation, NYRA reported gross

pari-mutuel revenue of $72.1 million during the

second quarter of the year, down $647,000 from the

same period a year earlier. When various payments,

including purses, were taken out, NYRA was left with

net wagering revenue of $32.9 million for the quar-

ter, or $339,000 below a year earlier.

Its net revenue from racing operations stood at

$44.7 million in the second quarter this year, down

$643,000 from 2015.

NYRA raced 59 days during the period, down from

63 days during the second quarter of 2015; the state

approved a NYRA plan to reduce two days this year

as part of a "strategic reduction" to, in part, increase

field size. BH

HORSEMEN STRUGGLE IN WAKE OF LOUISIANA FLOODSBy Frank Angst

As trainer Sam Breaux evacuated horses from his flooded farm near New Iberia, La., he witnessed a life-saving rescue of a pick-up truck driver.

While there have been no reported deaths of

horsemen or Thoroughbreds during the deadly

storms that left widespread flooding in Louisiana and

claimed the lives of at least 11 people, the severe

weather has forced racing cancellations, put horse-

men in some dangerous situations, damaged proper-

ty, and necessitated a lot of extra work.

Breax, currently the second-leading trainer at

Evangeline Downs, had to evacuate 69 horses Aug.

13 from his 70-acre farm and training center when

water quickly rose to two feet throughout his stable

area after more than 20 inches of rain fell in the area.

Breaux said the evacuated Thoroughbreds are largely

his racehorses, while his mares were safe on higher

ground on his property.

With all 12 of his farm employees and three addi-

tional workers helping, a high-clearance cane tractor

was used to haul out trailer after trailer of horses as

the road that provides access was covered in water for

two or three days. The trailers were pulled to higher

ground where they could be hooked up to a pick-up

truck and hauled about three miles to SugArena at the

Acadiana Fairgrounds.

Breaux said five vehicles have been washed away

near his property. He can’t recall a flood of this level

in the area.

"It’s the first time I’ve ever seen Highway 90 under

water," Breaux said.

The New York Times reported that as floodwaters receded in Southern Louisiana Aug. 17, door-to-door

searches of properties were being conducted. State

officials said at least 11 people died in the flooding

that damaged 40,000 homes and required 30,000

people to be rescued.

So far, area horsemen's stories have not been as

life-altering, but the rain and flooding has resulted

in considerable hardship. Evangeline Downs had no

flooding but canceled racing Aug. 12-13 because of

the heavy rains. The Opelousas, La. track was open

the evening of Aug. 17 with no turf racing.

Many horses have been displaced. Breax said

besides his 69 horses, the SugArena has welcomed

another 20 or 30 evacuated racehorses.

Louisiana Thoroughbred Breeders Association

president Tom Early said his farm avoided the worst

of the flooding but still he esti-

mated that floodwaters covered

47 of his farm's 58 acres. He

noted the flooding will impact

available feed and hay for

horsemen.

Early said a lot of horse own-

ers with "backyard horses" were

FAIR EVA STEPS UP TO GROUP II COMPANYBy Blood-Horse Staff

On a day when 2015 Longines Breeders' Cup Turf (gr. IT) heroine Found heads postward in the Dar-ley Yorkshire Oaks (Eng-I), another potential super-

star climbs the rung to the next level.

The Aug. 19 Sky Bet Lowther Stakes (Eng-II) at York

is the main supporting race on the Yorkshire Oaks

program, and features Khalid Abdullah's Fair Eva,

the first stakes winner for white-hot European sire

Frankel.

Fair Eva is a perfect two-for-two. She followed up

her June 8 Haydock Park success at first asking by

landing the July 23 Princess Margaret Stakes (Eng-III)

at Royal Ascot by four lengths over Kilmah, who will

also run as one of eight in the six-furlong Lowther.

"Fair Eva has done everything asked of her so

far in her career and is our clear 8-15 favorite," said

Michael Shinners, racing PR manager at Sky Bet.

"A number of the other runners do have proven

ability. ... It will be fascinating to see how the race

unfolds."

Back in the Yorkshire Oaks, Found is one of 12 and

joins fellow Aidan O'Brien trainees Even Song and Sev-

enth Heaven. Found lost the June 15 Prince of Wales's

Stakes (Eng-I) last time out, when she was headed

by My Dream Boat; Seventh Heaven won the July 16

Darley Irish Oaks (Ire-I); and Ribblesdale Stakes winner

Even Song must rebound from a well-beaten seventh

in that race as the 4-5 favorite. BH

KENTUCKY-BRED SYPHAX EXCELS AT YORKBy Tom Hall

Kentucky-bred Syphax became the 60th stakes win-ner for the late Arch (Kris S.) when the 2-year-old colt won the Aug. 17 Tattersalls Acomb Stakes (Eng-

III) at York. Owned by K & J Bloodstock and trained by

Kevin Ryan, Syphax took the seven-furlong event by a

head over Best of Days to remain undefeated in two

starts.

Josephine Abercrombie's Pin Oak Stud bred

Syphax out of its homebred Kingmambo mare Much

Obliged, winner of the American One Thousand

Guineas Stakes at Arlington International Racecourse

and the Blushing K.D. Handicap at Fair Grounds Race

Course & Slots, both on turf. She earned more than

$400,000 in her four-year career.

Danka, the second dam of the Acomb winner, was

acquired in foal to grade I winner Geri from Allen

Paulson's Brookside Farm. That foal, grade III winner

and $500,000-plus earner Bedanken, was the first of

six consecutive stakes-performing offspring of Danka

(Strawberry Road), a Paulson-bred half sister to four

stakes winners, including grade II winner Ganges

(Riverman) and grade III winner Apolda (Theatrical).

Paulson bought into the family that traces back to

Newstead Farm foundation mare Legendra when he

purchased Paloma Blanca (Blushing Groom) at a 1988

dispersal of noted breeder Nelson Bunker Hunt's

stock.

Syphax is one of two black-type winners from 12

starters by Arch out of Kingmambo mares (16.7%).

Overall, the late Claiborne Farm sire has 33 graded

stakes winners. BH

WV COMMISSION PUSHES FOR ACCREDITATIONBy Tom LaMarra

West Virginia Racing Commission staff will ex-plore, among other things, whether capital im-provement money racetracks get from a video lottery

terminal fund can be used to pay for accreditation

through the National Thoroughbred Racing Associa-

tion Safety and Integrity Alliance.

The state's two Thoroughbred tracks—Hollywood

Casino at Charles Town Races and Mountaineer Casi-

no, Racetrack & Resort—aren't among the more than

23 accredited tracks in North America that account

for more than 70% of North American pari-mutuel

handle.

Alliance executive director Steve Koch, based in

Lexington, outlined the accreditation program during

the Aug. 17 meeting of the WVRC. He was asked by the

commission, not the tracks, to attend the meeting.

"In all cases so far, the alliance was hired by the

racetrack," Koch said, "but it's not unheard of for a

racing commission to require accreditation for licen-

sure."

The accreditation process, performed every two

years after the initial go-around, would cost Moun-

taineer about $10,000 and Charles Town $15,000.

WVRC member Bill Phillips asked if capital improve-

ment funds from the excess VLT fund can be used for

safety improvements.

The racetracks regularly are approved for im-

provements that have any tie to horse racing at their

facilities, which also offer full casino gambling. On

Aug. 17, for instance, Mountaineer was approved

to use $91,000 from the fund to repave parking lots

used by racing patrons and horsemen.

The accreditation costs "seem like a small amount

of money in terms of safety," Phillips said.

Senior deputy attorney general Kelli Talbott, who

represents the WVRC, said she would research the

funding matter as well as whether the commission

can, by statute, require the two tracks to engage the

services of the alliance.

Koch said the alliance, formed in 2008, is "driving

the idea of continuous improvement. It has been a

provocative change agent for the better of the racing

program."

Accreditation covers six primary areas: injury

reporting and prevention of injuries; creating a safer

environment for racing and training; encouraging

adoption of uniform rules for medication, testing,

and penalties; jockey health and safety; aftercare for

retired racehorses; and ensuring wagering security.

"Racetrack management alone cannot achieve ac-

creditation," Koch said. "You need horsemen, jockeys,

veterinarians, and regulators (to participate). And it's

not just for the well-funded. We've seen

enormous obstacles overcome (to pay for

accreditation)."

WVRC member Greg McDermott sug-

gested, and the other two commissioners

agreed, to "invite stakeholders to inform us

of their positions on accreditation." Track

representatives opted not to comment dur-

ing the meeting, but Charles Town Horse-

men's Benevolent and Protective Associa-

tion president Randy Funkhouser offered

his thoughts.

"We as horsemen have talked about and

support the alliance," he said. "We thank

the commission for its interest in looking at

this in the future."

The WVRC at its September meeting will

include an update on staff research into

accreditation and the commission's options

under state statute. BH

ROBERTO'S BENSON AND HEDGES GOLD CUP DELIGHTBy Tom Hall

Weeks before its first running, the 1972 Ben-son and Hedges Gold Cup (now the group I Juddmonte International, which celebrated its 45th

renewal Aug. 17) was hailed as the "race of the

century."

That was not exaggeration, for the anticipated

field included Paul Mellon’s brilliant Mill Reef, the

previous year’s winner of Europe’s middle-distance

jewel, the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe; the undefeated

Brigadier Gerard, the last horse to beat Mill Reef (in

the 1971 Two Thousand Guineas at a mile); and John

Galbreath’s Kentucky-bred Roberto, winner of the

Epsom Derby.

The race lost much luster when Mill Reef had to

be scratched because of a swollen right hock. Never-

theless, Brigadier Gerard made a magnificent picture

in the York paddock—big and powerful. Roberto also

was in fine fettle—a medium-sized, well-conformed

bay with a narrow blaze. Derby runner-up and Grand

Prix de Saint-Cloud winner Rheingold joined the fray,

as did well-seasoned, consistent stakes winner Gold

Rod; along with Mill Reef's pacesetter,

Bright Beam.

When Roberto’s regular jockey

Lester Piggott chose Rheingold, Gal-

breath summoned his go-to United

States-based jockey Braulio Baeza,

who had never ridden Roberto. The

two were a perfect match, as Baeza’s

style of riding suited Roberto well.

From the outset Roberto and

Baeza set a peppered pace with Bright

Beam, who quickly abandoned his fu-

tile effort. Gold Rod and Rheingold too

were struggling against the front-run-

ning tactics, which left the highly

favored Brigadier Gerard to close the

sizable gap. For a few strides, it looked

as if Brigadier Gerard might mount a

valid challenge, but the brief hope fled

quickly. Roberto maintained his as-

sault to the wire and left a valiant but

spent Brigadier Gerard three lengths behind. Gold

Rod was another zip code away, some 17-lengths

back third. The time was a course record.

The Gold Cup was the only race Brigadier Gerard

lost in 18 starts. He ended his career by defeating

Riverman in the Champion Stakes at Newmarket.

For Roberto, the remainder of the year was less than

stellar. He returned at 4 to win the Coronation Cup

(Eng-I) before retiring to stand at Galbreath’s Darby

Dan Farm in Kentucky.

A son of Hail to Reason out of the good

stakes-winning Nashua mare Bramalea, Roberto was

inbred 5x4 to the grand broodmare Mumtaz Begum

through the three-quarter brothers Royal Charger

(Hail to Reason’s grandsire) and Nasrullah (sire of

Nashua). Roberto sired 85 stakes winners from 507

foals (17%). His 42 graded stakes winners include five

champions. Roberto is a source of stamina in U.S.

pedigrees, siring progeny with an average winning

distance of 8.93 furlongs. Among his most notable

offspring are group I winner Sookera, the dam of

blue hen mare Hasili; quality sire Lear Fan; leading

Japanese sire Brian’s Time; Darby Dan’s valuable

foundation mare Plenty of Grace; and the excellent

stallions Dynaformer and Red Ransom.

Roberto has also been a valuable broodmare

sire, with 156 stakes winners (81 graded), 10 of them

champions. BH

EXCITING NEW 3-YEAR-OLDS EMERGE IN AUSTRALIABy Tara Madgwick

Racing in Australia produced some intriguing re-sults Aug. 13 with last season's champion 2-year-old, Capitalist (Written Tycoon), finishing unplaced in

the Smithfield RSL Club San Domenico (Aus-III), while

two exciting new 3-year-old colts in Star Turn (Star

Witness) and Russian Revolution (Snitzel) emerged

from the pack.

Prepared by Hawkes Racing, Star Turn was last

seen finishing sixth to Capitalist in the March 19 ATC

Golden Slipper (Aus-I).

He had no trouble turning the tables on his rival in

the 1,100-meter sprint, as he forged clear to win by

1 1/4 lengths, while Capitalist toiled into fourth place

under his top weight of 60 kilograms (132.27 pounds).

Star Turn has zoomed up the order of entry for the $1

million ATC Golden Rose (Aus-I) going 1,400 meters Sept.

10, while connections of Capitalist have announced their

intention to bypass that race in favor of the 1,200-meter

VRC Coolmore Stud Stakes (Aus-I) Oct. 29.

Running for a syndicate headed by Newgate

Farm and China Horse Club, the Peter and Paul

Snowden-trained Russian Revolution made it three-

for-three when he won the 1,100-meter MRC Vain

Stakes (Aus-III) at Caulfield.

From the family of champion Australian sires

Encosta de Lago and Flying Spur, Russian Revolution

has stallion potential in spades.

This weekend features the return of Australia's

best racehorse Winx (Street Cry) in the 1,400-meter

ATC Warwick Stakes (Aus-II). BH

INDUSTRYANALYSIS

IN HONG KONG, STRATEGY PAYS OFF

Comparisons between racing in Hong Kong and the United States are difficult to make, but a recent presentation by the top Hong Kong

Jockey Club executive indicated there's plenty

of common ground, as well as opportunities to

grow the business with strategic planning and

defined objectives.

As HKJC chief executive officer Winfried Engel-

bretcht-Bresges noted Aug. 14, during The Jockey

Club Round Table Conference, each racing juris-

diction has its challenges. In Hong Kong, demand

isn't easy to satisfy. Only 350 Thoroughbreds can

be imported each year, and owners must wait an

average of three years

to obtain an import

permit.

The overall number

of horses in training

each year tops out at

1,200. Because the

two Hong Kong tracks

combined offer just

over 80 programs dur-

ing the racing season

each year, ensuring

competitive racing is

paramount to attract-

ing strong pari-mutuel

betting.

"We had to focus on how we could turn our

limitations into strengths," Engelbrecht-Bresges

said. "We had to decide what should be the (race)

distances, what should be the race conditions,

and which racing surfaces we want to offer."

About 90% of races in Hong Kong are on turf.

The objective, according to a strategic plan, is

"optimal field sizes" of 12 horses per race at

Happy Valley and 14 at Sha Tin.

Interest in the racing product is high even

though Hong Kong, like the U.S., is not without

competition from casino gambling in other

regions as well offshore betting sites. Govern-

ment tax changes about 10 years ago led to a

rebound in pari-mutuel handle to $13.8 billion

(in U.S. dollars) for the 2014-15 racing season.

What makes the total more impressive is the

fact the HKJC also oversees fixed-odds betting

on soccer and runs a lottery, which respectively

produced $10 billion and $1 billion in U.S. funds

in 2014-15.

Engelbrecht-Bresges said the HKJC in 2009-10

embarked on a 10-year, $800 million (U.S.) im-

provement plan with to "create experiences" for

owners and gamblers—regardless of the demo-

graphics. For "hardcore" racing fans, the focus

is on "convenience and efficiency," which in-

cludes quality digital connectivity and "unlimited

access" to betting

and handicapping

information.

"With a new

generation of

younger race-go-

ers in mind, we

worked hard at

enhancing the

digital experience

to fit their enter-

tainment need

and research- and

information-driven

behavior through a

much richer and graphically interactive online

experience," Engelbrecht-Bresges said.

The CEO noted that the cornerstone of Hong

Kong racing is substance-free competition and a

stringent testing program at the HKJC laboratory.

"It's essential for public support and consum-

er confidence," he said. "We've invested signifi-

cantly to upgrade our testing laboratory and will

invest even more to (identify) drugs. Testing is

an end-to-end process. This involves in-training

controls, having every starter tested for prohib-

ited substances before the race, and the usual

post-race control." BH
