THE WEEKLY WRAP: MOREJOY FOR COX & MCCARTAN

By Emma Berry

It was 11 years ago that Xtension (Ire) (Xaar {GB}) became only

the second group winner for his trainer Clive Cox when landing

the G2 Veuve Clicquot Vintage S. under Adam Kirby. In the

intervening years, Cox and Kirby have become a force to be

reckoned with, particularly in the major sprint contests and

often with horses bought relatively inexpensively by the trainer.

Xtension was himself a i15,000 yearling purchase from his

breeder Paul McCartan of Ballyphilip Stud, and he was later sold

on as a 3-year-old to race in Hong Kong before returning to

Ireland in 2015 to stand at Rathbarry Stud.

Xtension was the third foal of his dam, Great Joy (Ire) (Grand

Lodge), who won and was listed-placed in Germany before

being bought by McCartan for 24,000gns at the age of seven.

While Xtension, who went on to win the G1 BMW Champions

Mile two years running, was the best of her offspring on the

track, her daughters are continuing to make notable

contributions to her legacy from the paddocks.

Beatrix Potter (Ire) (Cadeaux Genereux {Ire}) is now best

known as the dam of Harry Angel (Ire) (Dark Angel {Ire}), the

dual Group 1-winning sprinter who was another Cox purchase

from Ballyphilip at ,44,000. Cont. p2

MOHAATHER TARGETING QEII Last week=s G1 Sussex S. winner Mohaather (GB) (Showcasing

{GB}) is aiming for the G1 Queen Elizabeth II S. on Champions

Day as his next big target, with trainer Marcus Tregoning as-yet

undecided as to whether the 4-year-old will have another start

prior.

AHis end-of-season target will be the QEII,@ said Tregoning.

AWhether something slots in before that we=re not sure yet, but

Ascot is his main target.

AWe could have really done with the [G1 Prix Jacques le]

Marois being a week later than it is. There isn=t anything that

slots in ideally, as the Marois is the 16th [of August] which is a

bit quick and if we drop down to seven for the Foret [on Oct. 4]

it=s too close to Champions Day. With the races all moved

around it=s difficult. At least we=re now looking having won a

Group 1; given how we felt after Royal Ascot things are a good

bit different.@ Cont. p5

More Joy for Cox & McCartan Cont. from p1

Three years after he won the G2 Mill Reef S. for Cox, his half-brother Pierre Lapin (Ire) (Cappella Sansevero {GB}) landed the same race last season for Roger Varian and Sheikh Mohammed Obaid.

In the meantime the family had thrown up another stakes winner in Mrs Gallagher (GB) (Oasis Dream {GB}), a dual listed scorer for William Jarvis and Emma Banks, the team which also won the G3 Valiant S. with Lady Bowthorpe (GB) (Nathaniel

{Ire}) two weekends ago. Mrs Gallagher is the first foal of Great Joy's listed-placed daughter A Huge Dream (Ire) (Refuse To Bend {Ire}).

Last week yet another daughter of Great Joy put Cox back in the spotlight at Goodwood when Supremacy (Ire) (Mehmas

{Ire}) hugged the rail to grab a four-length win in the G2 Richmond S. He too had been bought by his trainer as a yearling, for ,65,000 at the Goffs Premier Yearling Sale. Bred

by the Hong Kong-based Kangyu International Racing, he was

being carried by his dam Triggers Broom (Ire) (Arcano {Ire})

when she was bought at the Tattersalls December Mares' Sale

for 110,000gns.

Supremacy reflects yet more glory on the Great Joy family

but he may yet prove to be a thorn in McCartan's side as his

next target is likely to be the G1 Darley Prix Morny, in which he

may face his stable-mate Nando Parrado (GB) (Kodiac {GB}).

If things had gone to plan at last year's December Sale, Nando

Parrado would have been racing for other connections, but the

165,000gns foal purchase from breeder Anita Wigan was bought

back by the McCartans at 200,000gns when offered as a

yearling. The 'failed' pinhook has subsequently turned a

potential loss into a major win with his 150-1 victory in the

colours of Marie McCartan in the G2 Coventry S. at Royal Ascot.

When the McCartans were looking for a trainer for the colt, it's

little surprise that they plumped for one who had already

reaped great success with Ballyphilip graduates: Clive Cox.

Flying Angels While the McCartan-bred Harry Angel has just completed his

second season at Darley's Dalham Hall Stud and is on his way

south to Australia, his erstwhile paddock mate Battaash (Ire)

(Dark Angel {Ire}), another outstanding Ballyphilip Stud

graduate, continues to light up the season with his

blink-and-miss-it blitzes. In winning the G2 King George Qatar S.

for the fourth consecutive year he also lowered the track record,

just as he did in the G1 Coolmore Nunthorpe S. last year. And

that seems likely to be the race in which we will see him next,

with a trip to Keeneland for the Breeders' Cup an apparently

longed-for target of his trainer Charlie Hills.

Raabihah | Scoop Dyga

The Weekly Wrap Cont.

Just as at Royal Ascot, Battaash provided one of the highlights

of another terrific week for his owner Sheikh Hamdan Al

Maktoum, who notched six winners at Goodwood to match his

Royal Meeting tally. For obvious anatomical reasons, Battaash

will never join the Shadwell stallion roster, but at some stage the

team at Nunnery Stud can surely look forward to welcoming the

sheikh's G1 Qatar Sussex S. winner Mohaather (GB) (Showcasing

{GB}). While his victory was for one of the sport's major owners,

it brought with it quite a bit of extra cheer as Mohaather also

represents some smaller connections. For Marcus Tregoning,

Sheikh Hamdan has been a longstanding patron and it no doubt

brought the trainer much satisfaction to be able to repay this

loyalty in saddling his first Group 1 winner since Sir Percy (GB)

won the Derby in 2006.

It has been a shorter time between drinks for breeder Gaie

Johnson Houghton, who keeps five broodmares and was

celebrating her second Group 1 winner from the same family in

two years. Indeed, the first came in her own colours with Queen

Anne S. winner Accidental Agent (GB) (Delagator {GB}), who is

out of Mohaather's half-sister Roodle (GB) (Xaar {GB}). The icing

on the cake was that Accidental Agent is trained by Johnson

Houghton's daughter Eve. A recap of this family, which has been

cultivated by Johnson Houghton through five generations, can

be found in Chris McGrath=s TDN Interview with the breeder last

year.

While events at Goodwood doubtless delighted the Shadwell

team, arguably the week's most exciting result for Sheikh

Hamdan was delivered at Deauville on Saturday by homebred

Raabihah (Sea The Stars {Ire}). The 3-year-old filly ran out the

easy winner of the G3 Prix de Psyche for Jean-Claude Rouget,

having previously finished only half a length off behind Fancy

Blue (Ire) (Deep Impact {Jpn}) when fourth in the G1 Prix de

Diane. Cont. p4

Espania, knocked down for €3 million at Goffs Orby in 2019 | Goffs

The Weekly Wrap Cont.

This was the only time she had been beaten in four starts and,

with Oaks winner Eswarah (GB) and Midway Lady as her second

and third dams, plus a Derby and Arc winner for a father,

Raabihah is an interesting proposition for the Arc herself.

Rouget, who believes Raabihah to be the "best filly in France",

noted that she is the best filly he has trained since Stacelita (Fr)

(Monsun {Ger}), who won four Group 1s for his stable before

landing another two Grade I races in America for Chad Brown.

Stars Out In Paris Sea The Stars brought the curtain down on his magnificent

3-year-old season in the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe and though

he is yet to sire a winner of that race, Sea Of Class (Ire) went

close when second to Enable (GB) (Nathaniel {Ire}) in 2018.

This year, in addition to Raabihah being aimed in that

direction, we finally, hopefully, have the tantalising prospect of

his most famous son

Stradivarius (Ire) being given a

chance in the race. Yes, it may

be short of his best distance but,

with four Goodwood Cups, three

Gold Cups and two Stayers'

Millions titles to his name

already, he has nothing left to

prove in the long-distance

division, so why not give it a

crack?

John Gosden's stable is not

short of top gallopers by Sea The

Stars. Last year's Irish Oaks

winner Star Catcher (GB) has not

been seen out yet this season

but reportedly has remained in training. Meanwhile, Gosden

added a new Group 1 race to his ever-expanding tally when

sending Miss Yoda (Ger) back to her homeland to win Sunday's

Preis der Diana (German Oaks).

The filly, bred by Gestut Etzean, was the co-top lot at the 2018

BBAG Yearling Sale at i280,000, bought on behalf of Georg Von

Opel, who races under the name of Westerberg. A London

resident, the owner has acquired a small bunch of well-bred

fillies in recent years with the aim of starting his own breeding

operation. Miss Yoda's Classic victory marks a terrific start to this

project and was doubtless all the more pleasing for having come

in the land of Von Opel's birth.

As well as Gosden, he has fillies in training in Andre Fabre and

Aidan O'Brien. He purchased the top two lots at last year's Goffs

Orby Sale, both by Galileo (Ire) and full-sisters to Group 1

winners, and both unraced to date. The sister to Alice Springs

(Ire), now known as Magic Hour (Ire), is with Fabre, who also has

another Galileo filly for Von Opel. Named Beluga (Ire), she is a

three-parts-sister to Fabre's Derby winner Pour Moi (Ire)

(Montjeu {Ire}).

The other Galileo filly from Goffs was the i3 million

sale-topping daughter of Vimal and Gillian Khosla's Green Room

(Theatrical {Ire}), who was bought in partnership with MV

Magnier. She is now in training at Ballydoyle and has been

named Espania (Ire).

Brothers Share The Love Hunscote Stud and Mick Channon brought home the trophy

for Sunday's G3 Prix Cabourg thanks to the unbeaten Cairn

Gorm (GB). The flashy chestnut colt is a son of Bated Breath

(GB) but is more reminiscent in looks of that stallion's

half-brother Cityscape (GB), whom Hunscote's Stephen Smith

owns in partnership with Overbury Stud, where he stands.

In fact the last time Hunscote's

purple and green silks were

carried to group-race glory was

by the Channon-trained Dan's

Dream (GB), who became

Cityscape's first black-type

winner in the G3 Fred Darling S.

Cairn Gorm's dam In Your Time

(GB) (Dalakhani {Ire}) has visited

Cityscape on three occasions

and the 3-year-old from this

union, Miss Morris (GB), made

her debut last month for Henry

Candy, while Cairn Gorm's

youngest three-quarter sibling is

a colt, who was born on Apr. 26.

Dunkerque Spirit Strongest in USA The Haras du Quesnay-bred Dunkerque (Fr) (Highest Honor)

was represented by just 122 foals from his seven seasons on the

roster at his home stud and one year at Haras de Grand

Chesnaie, and arguably his three best horses to date have all

raced in America.

If you name a horse Blacktype (Fr), you'd certainly hope he'd

be capable of accruing some, and the gelding from Dunkerque's

first crop who was given this prophetic title has happily proved

to be his sire's most successful runner. He too was bred at

Quesnay and won two races in France when trained by

Jean-Pierre Gauvain before being transferred to French ex-pat

Christophe Clement in the U.S. There, he won a further 10 races,

including back-to-back runnings of the GII Knickerbocker S. at

Belmont Park. Cont. p5

She=s My Type | Sarah K. Andrew

Mohaather=s trainer Marcus Tregoning | Tattersalls

The Weekly Wrap Cont.

A Quesnay product through and through, Blacktype is out of

the Anabaa mare Theorie (Fr). Another of her offspring,

Theoricienne (Fr) (Kendor {Fr}), won twice in France when

trained by Criquette Head for her mother Ghislaine and she is

now responsible for Dunkerque's latest stakes winner in

America, She's My Type (Fr).

The 3-year-old filly was bought back by her breeder Ghislaine

Head when offered at the Keeneland September Yearling Sale

and, following her close relative to the stable of Clement, she

won Friday's Listed Coronation Cup S. at Saratoga, her second

stakes success of the year.

Dunkerque, a dual Group 3-winning sprinter in his day for the

Head family, has also been represented in the last week at Del

Mar by the GII San Clemente S. runner-up Guitty (Fr), for

another French-born trainer, Leonard Powell.

Closer to home his better runners include the Spanish 1000

Guineas winner Vallila (GB), who also won in France and Britain

and was bred by Liam Norris from the former Quesnay mare

Villabella (Fr) (Hernando {Fr}).

Antoine Bozo Finally, the team at TDN Europe offers sincere condolences to

the family of Antoine Bozo, who died on Saturday at the age of

83.

At the helm of Haras du Mezeray for Paul de Moussac during

the glory days of Arc winners Trempolino and Subotica (Fr),

Bozo's influence on the French racing and breeding industry will

continue to be felt through his sons Henri and Ghislain, and our

thoughts are with them at this time.

Mohaather Cont. from p1

Tregoning was not ruling out a tilt at the GI Breeders= Cup

Mile, either.

AThe Breeders= Cup is three weeks after Ascot this year so that

would give him enough time, but that would be entirely down to

Sheikh Hamdan. He is lightly raced so hopefully we=ll get a few

more goes with him.@

STEEL BULL CHANGES HANDS, TO BE

SUPPLEMENTED TO PHOENIX Group 3 winner Steel Bull (Ire) (Clodovil {Ire}), owned and

trained by Michael O=Callaghan for his first two starts, will

contest the Aug. 9 G1 Phoenix S. at The Curragh under new

ownership, as he was purchased privately by Chantal Regalado-

Gonzalez, Racing Post reported on Monday. The son of

Macarthurs Park (Ire) (Equiano {Fr}) will be supplemented to the

six-furlong feature. For O=Callaghan, the £28,000 Goffs UK

Breeze Up juvenile broke his maiden by 2 1/2 lengths at first

asking at Naas on July 22. He followed up in the July 29 G3

Molecomb S. at the Qatar Goodwood Festival to maintain his

perfect record and will stay in O=Callaghan=s care.

AMrs. Regalado-Gonzalez has purchased Steel Bull and the plan

is that the horse will run in the Phoenix S. at the weekend,@

Regalado-Gonzalez=s racing manager Bill Dwan told Racing Post.

AHe was very impressive at Naas first time out, winning by 2 2

lengths, then he backed that up in better company at

Goodwood.@ Cont. p6

NEW RESTRICTIONS FOR CORTICOSTEROIDS

& BRONCHODILATORS AT TATTERSALLS &

GOFFS New policies on the use of corticosteroids and

bronchodilatorsBincluding Clenbuterol--for all yearlings, horses

in and out of training and unraced 2-year-olds will be introduced

at the beginning of the UK and Irish yearling sales from Sept. 1

forward, Tattersalls and Goffs announced on Monday. Starting

with the Goffs UK Premier Yearling Sale, all stock sold at the two

sales companies will have these restrictions applied. These new

Conditions of Sale will allow buyers to have post-sale testing for

corticosteroids and bronchodilators (Clenbuterol). Any positive

test or any trace of bronchodilators that appear as a result of

the testing may result in the subject horse being returnable to

the vendor at the option of the purchaser under the new

Conditions of Sale.

These new regulations are in addition to the restrictions

already in place on the use of anabolic steroids and non-

steroidal anti-inflammatories, as well as the ban on the

utilisation of Bisphosphonates which started in 2019.

ABoth Tattersalls and Goffs are united in maintaining the

highest standards of integrity and horse welfare at all of our

sales and the new policies relating to the use of corticosteroids

and bronchodilators reflect our shared commitment to

addressing issues which threaten in any way to undermine

confidence in the marketplace,@ said Tattersalls Chairman

Edmond Mahony and Goffs Group Chief Executive Henry Beeby

in a joint statement.

YARMOUTH ABANDONED Yarmouth=s Monday meeting was abandoned after the third

race after jockeys expressed concern about a patch of false

ground resulting from an accident.

Lord Chapelfield (GB) (Delegator {GB}) broke down during the

card=s third race, with jockey Gabriele Malune taken to hospital

for assessment, after which a group of jockeys inspected the turf

course with Clerk of the Course Richard Aldous.

Aldous said, AThe jockeys were concerned about the mark the

horse made when he fell. They felt that the course wasn=t fit in

their opinion. You have got to respect their opinion as they are

the ones riding on it. We will now have a look at the course and

take it from there. We will have a further look at the course this

evening and tomorrow to see where we are at ahead of the

meeting that is scheduled to take place on Friday.

AI think it was a unanimous decision by the jockeys and you

have to respect that. It was terrible to see. Gabriele has gone to

the James Paget Hospital in Gorleston for further assessment.

He was awake and talking upon leaving the track.@

PJ McDonald was among those who inspected the course, and

he said, AWe found a patch of ground that was easier to move,

with inconsistent ground underneath. We couldn=t tell if that

was on a patch where they hadn=t raced yet, so we had to do

the right thing and cancel the meeting.@ Cont. p7

FIRST-SEASON SIRESWITH RUNNERS

Yarmouth Cont.

Amy Murphy, trainer of Lord Chapelfield, shed further light on

the situation, saying, AIt is horrible. Gabriele is my apprentice

and we have lost a horse, so it is devastating. He was

unconscious and not in a good way for the first five minutes, but

the fact that he left in the ambulance talking is really all that

matters.

AIt is devastating for a team of our size to lose a horse as well,

but the main thing that matters is that Gabriele is OK. He was

moving all his legs and arms and was talking. Hopefully it will be

short term rather than long term, but he has been taken off for

full checks. It is one of those horrible things about this game

unfortunately. I was watching it live and he did have a heavy fall

and please God that he remains in one piece. I=m so sorry for the

connections of the horse as he was a homebred and the

breeders adored him. It is heartbreaking for them and my

condolences go out to them.@

Lot 1493, a colt by Shalaa | Magic Millions

SHALAA COLT ON TOP ATMAGIC MILLIONS

By Bren O'Brien

Hong Kong businessman Bon Ho paid top prices for a filly by

Snitzel and a colt by Dundeel (NZ) on the opening day of the

Magic Millions National Yearling Sale, but it was a colt by Shalaa

(Ire) offered as part of the Estate of the late Eduardo Cojuangco,

that secured Monday's top price of $360,000.

At A Glance:$ Matt Laurie Racing, Bahen Bloodstock and Andrew

Williams Bloodstock secured the Shalaa half-brother to

Group 1-producing stallion Hallowed Crown and Needs

Further, who was the last lot through the ring as part of

the Estate of the late Eduardo Cojuangco Sale.

$ Ho's Legend Racing paid $300,000 and $270,000

respectively for two premium lots from Arrowfield's

draft, including a Snitzel filly out of Group 1-winning

mare National Colour (SAF) (National Assembly {Can}).

$ Annabel Neasham struck her first decisive blow as a

trainer by paying $260,000 for a colt by I Am Invincible

out of Group 1-winning mare Serious Speed (Royal

Academy {USA}) from Baramul Stud.

$ Kelly Schweida Racing paid $240,000 for a colt by Shalaa

from the draft of Valiant Stud.

$ The Day 1 National Sale results (which did not include

the Cojuangco Estate Sale) compared very positively to

the first day last year, which was held in June.

$ The Sale average stands at $52,486, while the median is

$35,000. That compares to $41,457 and $30,000 at the

same stage last year.

$ The clearance rate was relatively strong at 74%, up from

64% on Day 1 last year.

$ The Sale aggregate of Day 1 was just shy of $9.5 million

across 180 lots sold, compared with $4.8 million across

sales 116 last year.

Shalaa Colt Tops Day's Results It was the very last lot of a long day, but it was worth the wait

for Matt Laurie, Bahen Bloodstock and Andrew Williams to get

the colt by Shalaa (Ire) out of the excellent producer Crowned

Glory (Danehill {USA}), who had worn the Gooree Park colours

of Eduardo Cojaungco with distinction in her racing career,

which included a Group 3 win and a second in a G1 Golden

Slipper S. She had proven herself even more successful as a

broodmare, with Hallowed Grown a dual Group 1 winner and

Needs Further successful at Group 3 level, while the

half-brothers, currently resident at Twin Hills and Aquis Victoria

respectively, have both produced Group 1 winners as stallions.

Mr. Cojuangco's recent passing prompted a change of business

plan for Gooree Park, and the Shalaa colt, her last foal, was just

the third of her progeny to be offered through the ring.

"He=s got a stallion=s pedigree. He=s a horse who is a

half-brother to Golden Rose-Randwick Guineas horse who is also

from the family of Zabeel and we thought he might be a

3-year-old style of horse," Williams said. "However, given he=s a

Shalaa, he has a bit of Invincible Spirit blood there and, first and

foremost, I thought he was a ripping sort with lovely size and

scope and comes from one of the great nurseries in Australia.

AWe=ve been beaten on a lot [of Shalaas] but this is a pretty

unique horse with his pedigree and the fact that the Cojuancgo

family and Gooree=s history with good horses."

It was the first time that Williams had worked with

Victorian-based trainer Laurie.

AThis is the first horse [I=ve bought for Laurie] but because of

COVID reasons he was stuck and couldn=t get up here. Matty=s

over the moon," he said. AHe=s definitely an Easter style of colt.

Who knows what he could have made at that level and we put

him in that bracket, so it=s great to secure a style of horse like

him."

Lot 1402, a Dundeel colt | Magic Millions

That the colt made such an impression did not surprise Gooree

Park's long time Manager Andrew Baddock.

"He didn=t look like the foal of an older mare. He was very

athletic and he was her last foal. She's been a great mare for us

all the way through from her racing days and she produced two

stallions," he said. "It was fitting that her last foal sold so well.

Funny enough she never had a filly. It wasn't for want of trying,

but she has been a great producer for us and she is very healthy

back at Gooree and will live her days out there.

"We wish the purchasers all the very best for him and we will

be watching and cheering him wherever he is racing."

Laurie and Bahen Bloodstock also combined to buy another

Shalaa colt from the Estate Sale, a half-brother to the Listed

winner Tactical Advantage (Bel Esprit) for $100,000, while a

third Gooree Park colt, Lot 1486 out of imported mare Sensible

Lady (USA) (Street Sense {USA}), was also picked up for

$100,000 by Olly Koolman.

Ho Continues Spending

Spree Bon Ho has already invested

heavily in yearlings this

season, spending over $4.3

million at the Inglis Easter

Yearling Sale and nearly $4

million on the Gold Coast in

January and he continued to

seek elite bloodstock, with

two marquee purchases on

Day 1 of the National Sale.

With a pedigree which

features a Group 1-winning

dam and two Group

1-winning three-quarter brothers in Rafeef (Redoute's Choice)

and Mustaaqeem (Redoute's Choice), the filly by four-time

Australian champion Snitzel, Lot 1276, was always going to

attract plenty of attention from Arrowfield's draft.

Another three-quarter brother fetched $330,000 at this Sale

last year and with her residual value as a possible broodmare, it

was no surprise to see her top the first day.

"She was the star filly on pedigree and type in the Sale,"

Arrowfield Bloodstock Manager Jon Freyer said. "She was a

gorgeous filly out of a champion, so it was a great opportunity

for anybody looking to acquire a class race filly and possible blue

hen broodmare.

"She was cast in the same mould as her Group 1-winning

brothers, but probably a more feminine version."

Ho, bidding over the phone won the day, adding to the five

fillies he bought at Sydney and the Gold Coast earlier this year.

"He bought the Snitzel-More Joyous filly at Easter for

$800,000, and she is already showing talent on the track. It

seems he is encouraged by that," Freyer said. "He's had some

success with us as an owner in the past and we have a good

relationship with him. We are delighted that he got her."

Ho was again to the fore when Arrowfield offered Lot 1402, a

colt by Dundeel (NZ) out of Aspen Summit (Fastnet Rock), the

sister to G1 Thousand Guineas winner Irish Lights, for $270,000.

AHe was a cracking colt, a really cracking colt," Freyer said. "I

think he would have made, probably double that in a normal

market, but good luck to him [Ho].

"That colt has an international pedigree, and the half-brother

by Deep Impact (Solar Apex) is with Chris Waller and is likely to

end up in a Spring Champion S. or something like that. I think

this colt was a great buy. He's Dundeel colt that is one of those

precocious early coming type of horses, like Super Seth or

Castelvecchio."

Solar Apex (Deep Impact

{Jpn}) debuted last month

over 1600 metres finishing

third in the colours of

Northern Farm. Also in the

pedigree is Irish Lights's

daughter, and a blood relation

to this colt, Omei Sword (High

Chaparral {Ire}), who was a

Group 2 winner and Group 1

runner-up.

Arrowfield finished the day

as top vendor, selling 15

yearlings for a total of $1.72

million and an average of

$114,667, while Baramul Stud

sold the most yearlings on the

day, 20 in all for a total of $1.24 million and an average of

$61,975.

Neasham Makes Her Mark Among those sold by Baramul was Lot 1330, the I Am

Invincible colt picked up by Annabel Neasham, who is set to

start out on her own as a trainer this season, for $260,000. The

Sydney assistant trainer for Ciaron Maher and David Eustace

made a statement by winning the bid for the well-bred son of

G1 Thousand Guineas winner Serious Speed.

"He's by the right sire and he's out of a group-winning mare.

On paper, he looked the real deal, and as a physical as well,

while he's already turned two, he looks a nice second half of the

year 2-year-old," Neasham said. "He looks like the type of Vinnie

that is going to have enough scope to go on as a 3-year-old."

with quality where you can. I'm lucky I've got some good

support behind me which is enabling me to buy these well-bred

horses. I was only ever going to buy a handful now and we will

really look to consolidate for next season, come Magics in

January," she said. "That's still six months away, so I think it=s

important in your first year of training to try and get some nice

horses in your stable, and I thought this horse fitted the bill."

Neasham also purchased Lot 1410, a colt by Snitzel from

Baramul Stud for $150,000. He is out of Bellapin (NZ) (Pins), who

is out of stakes-winner Dazzling Belle (NZ) (Desert Sun {GB}) and

is a half-sister to Group 3 winner Magic Dancer (NZ) (Rip Van

Winkle {Ire}).

Shalaa in Demand The first crop of Arrowfield's Stud's Shalaa have impressed

Australian buyers this season and as well as those offered

through the Estate Sale, another five were sold on Monday,

including Lot 1239, a colt from Valiant Stud who went to Kelly

Schweida for $240,000. He is a half-brother to two winners and

is from the extended family of Group 1-winning mare Secret

Agenda (Not A Single Doubt).

Early in the day, Hong Kong buyer Cheung Shun Ching paid

$230,000 for Lot 1220, a colt by Medaglia D'Oro (USA) offered

by KBL Thoroughbreds, while Bevan Smith Bloodstock paid

$220,000 for a filly by Not A Single Doubt offered by Alexia

Fraser Bloodstock.

Smith spent $437,500 to be the day's second-biggest buyer

behind Legend Racing, while the top three stallions on aggregate

were all Arrowfield residents in Snitzel, Dundeel and Shalaa.

Freyer was full of praise with how the Sale has panned out so

far.

"The boys have done a great job at Magic Millions in very

difficult and trying circumstances. To get a buying bench has not

been easy. They have done a great job and it's full credit to

them. They=ve cobbled together some good results, in very

difficult circumstances," he said.

Overall, Freyer is not surprised by how well the Sale is

progressing.

"The market is traditionally very resilient, and it has been in a

lot of places. I notice in South Africa, their sale was only down

7-8% and they have had similar difficulties to us," he said. "It=s a

similar story in other places. It=s held up reasonably well. There's

a few factors at play, but horse people love to keep at it. Long

may it last!"

THE TDN DERBY TOP 12FOR AUGUST 4

by T.D. Thornton

There are now three remaining ARoad to the GI Kentucky

within this week=s TDN Derby Top 12 are slated to compete in

two of those races this weekend.

1) TIZ THE LAW (c, Constitution--Tizfiz, by Tiznow)

O-Sackatoga Stable. B-Twin Creeks Farm (NY). T-Barclay

Tagg. Sales History: $110,000 yrl >18 FTNAUG. Lifetime

Last Start: 1st GI Belmont S., BEL, June 20

Accomplishments Include: 1st GI Curlin Florida Derby, GP, Mar.

28; 1st GI Champagne S.; 1st GIII Holy Bull S. GP, Feb. 1; 3rd GII

Kentucky Jockey Club S., CD, Nov. 30. Next Start: GI Runhappy

Travers S., SAR, Aug. 8. Equineline PPs. KY Derby Points: 272

Tiz the Law is decisively parked at the top of the crop, with

Nos. 2, 3, and 4 on this list more or less on even footing and

everyone from No. 5 on back scrambling for a firm spot in the

pecking order. Will 10 furlongs at Saratoga be the stumbling

block for this $110,000 Fasig-Tipton New York-Bred Sale graduate

(cue the Agraveyard of favorites@ cliches)? Or will Saturday=s

GI Runhappy Travers S. serve as yet another launch point for Tiz

to widen the gap between him and his peers? Cont. p9

FASIG-TIPTON CATALOGUES 662 FOR

SELECTED YEARLINGS SHOWCASEby Jessica Martini

Fasig-Tipton, which has been forced to shuffle its traditional

calendar of yearling auctions due to the global pandemic, has

released a catalogue of 662 head for its Selected Yearlings

Showcase, which will be held Sept. 9 and 10 at its Newtown

Paddocks in Lexington. Fasig-Tipton cancelled its three select

sales--the July, Saratoga and New York-Bred Sales--and the

showcase auction will be its only select sale in 2020.

AWe are thrilled with the overall quality of the catalogue, both

in terms of the pedigree and the physical conformation of the

horses,@ Fasig-Tipton President Boyd Browning, Jr. said Monday

afternoon. AWe couldn=t be any more pleased to have this group

of horses on display in the showcase this year.@

Hips one through 330 will be offered during Wednesday=s first

session of the showcase sale and hips 331-662 will be offered

Thursday. The sale will begin with a group of New York-bred

yearlings, which are catalogued as hips 1-164. Cont. p3

Fasig-Tipton Catalogues 662 for Showcase(cont. from p1)

Of expectations when the first-ever showcase was announced

at the end of April, Browning added, AI didn=t have any

preconceived notions, per se. I don=t think any of us knew what

to expect. I will say though, if

somebody had told me that we

would be able to put together a

group of horses of this quantity

with this quality, I would have

been ecstatic. The support that

we=ve received from our

consignors and the men and

women who own top yearlings

has been very gratifying and it=s

very much appreciated.@

With the coronavirus causing

lockdowns across the globe and

racing coming virtually to a halt

this past spring, Fasig-Tipton was

forced to scupper its Gulfstream

2-Year-Olds in Training Sale and its Santa Anita 2-Year-Olds in

Training Sale.

The sales company produced a strong market when bidding

returned with the Midlantic 2-Year-Olds in Training Sale at the

end of June and at its July Horses of Racing Age Sale. Those

results, plus the return of high-class racing across the country,

should provide buyers and sellers with a level of optimism

heading into the showcase sale.

ACertainly the sales that we=ve

conducted have been

encouraging,@ Browning said. AAnd

it is sure nice to see quality racing

taking place in Saratoga and Del

Mar and Ellis Park and Gulfstream

Park, literally all across the United

States. I think that makes owners

and trainers and participants in the

industry feel much more confident

than they did 45 days or so ago

when there was inactivity,

essentially paralysis. So I think that

is obviously a very positive sign.

The 2-year-old sales and the

horses of racing age sales that have been conducted in June and

July have shown the resiliency of the men and women who

participate in this game and the love they have for it.@ Cont. p4

Boyd Browning | Fasig-Tipton photo

Among the Fasig-Tipton graduates on the showcase

catalogue=s cover include GI Kentucky Derby contenders Tiz the

Law (Constitution) and Honor A.P. (Honor Code), as well as

GI Kentucky Oaks contender Speech (Mr Speaker). Browning

said those graduates are indicative of the quality of offerings the

company prides itself on.

AI think the buyers will be very impressed when they look at

the catalogue online or on their iPads or when they get it in their

hands,@ he said. AMore importantly, the buyers are going to be

very impressed when they come on the sales grounds and look

at the individuals. We=ve built our reputation--and we take pride

in--the physical aspect of our selected sales and I think the

results speak loudly with the success of our sales graduates. I am

confident that people are going to come on these sales grounds

and say, >Wow. That is a really nice group of horses they=ve

assembled for the Yearlings Showcase at Fasig-Tipton.=@

At both the Midlantic and July sales, Fasig-Tipton instituted

safety protocols which included temperature checks, masks and

social distancing.

As for what protocols participants should expect at the

showcase, Browning said, AWe are having multiple discussions

on an everyday basis as more information is obtained and we

see trends and movements in both the state of Kentucky and

around the United States. We certainly want to make sure we

conduct the sale in as safe an environment as we possibly can to

give buyers and sellers alike the confidence to participate.@

Last week, Keeneland announced it would be requiring proof

of a negative COVID-19 test for people attending its September

Yearling Sale. Asked if Fasig-Tipton would make a similar

requirement, Browning reiterated, AWe will continue to monitor

the situation and finalize our protocols in upcoming days, but

they have not been finalized at this time.@

Cont. p5

TDN HEADLINE NEWS • PAGE 5 OF 19 • THETDN.COM TUESDAY • AUGUST 4, 2020

Travel concerns and restrictions have limited international

participation in auctions this spring, but both Fasig-Tipton and

Keeneland have been coordinating with local officials to

hopefully pave the way for foreign buyers to attend auctions this

fall.

AFasig-Tipton and Keeneland are working closely with the KTA

and the Breeders= Cup and the NTRA, along with government

officials, Senator [Mitch] McConnell=s office and Representative

[Andy] Barr=s office to try to obtain some waivers for key

participants in foreign countries to be able to attend the sale,@

Browning said. AThat process is ongoing and will continue to be

ongoing and we will hopefully receive some positive news. I

think it will be a situation that looms between now and the time

of the sales in September and it is going to depend on each

individual=s assessment of their level of comfort with regards to

travel.@

Fasig-Tipton will unveil its newly updated Enhanced Catalogue

platform for the showcase. A traditional offering at its

November and July Horses of Racing Age sales, the Enhanced

Catalogue will be available beginning in late August with walking

videos of all yearlings available for viewing beginning Sept. 2.

Fasig-Tipton, which introduced online bidding for the first time

at its Midlantic 2-Year-Olds in Training Sale, will again offer

buyers the opportunity to bid online at the showcase.

The showcase catalogue may be viewed at www.fasig-

tipton.com.

CHURCHILL MAY REQUIRE DERBY JOCKEYS

TO BE IN KENTUCKY BY AUG. 24 by Bill Finley

Churchill Downs may require all jockeys riding during the short

meet surrounding the GI Kentucky Derby to be in the state of

Kentucky by Aug. 24. Churchill Downs Senior Director,

Communication & Media Services Darren Rogers said the rule is

being considered but no official decision will be announced until

later in the week.

Rogers added that Churchill is also expected to announce

shortly a complete list of protocols that will be in place for the

Derby, including how many fans will be allowed to attend the

race.

For jockeys who regularly ride in New York and in California,

meeting the Kentucky requirements would mean missing the

final two weeks at Saratoga and Del Mar. Once returning to their

home base they would likely have to undergo another

quarantine period before being allowed to ride again. In New

York, anyone traveling to a number of states, Kentucky among

them, must go into quarantine for 14 days upon returning to the

state.

Cont. p6

Kentucky Derby field | Horsephotos

Anticipating that his rider will be required to be in Kentucky by

the 24th and under quarantine, agent Angel Cordero, Jr. said

that Manny Franco will not be giving up the mount on possible

Derby favorite Tiz the Law (Constitution).

AWe have to go,@ Cordero said. AYou don=t just find horses like

this one. It=s going to be tough for all the jockeys because

they=re going to have to spend two weeks without riding and

then have to ride in an important race like that.@

Cordero said he was hoping that riders would be allowed in on

the eve of the race if they could provide evidence that they did

not have the coronavirus.

AI don=t know why they just don=t test them and if they test

clean they should let them ride,@ he said. AWe will be missing the

last part of Saratoga and then maybe another two weeks after

that. All together, we=ll miss about a month. I know everyone is

dealing with the same problem, but I=m a believer that if you

test clean, they should let them ride. Why don=t they test them

three days before the Derby or one day before the Derby and if

they don=t test clean just take them off the horses.@

Mike Smith, who rides top GI Kentucky Oaks contender Swiss

Skydiver (Daredevil) and has been riding top Derby candidates

Honor A.P. (Honor Code) and Authentic (Into Mischief) said he=s

not sure what he is going to do.

AI just don=t know what to do,@ he said. AWhat they=re asking us

to do seems very difficult to do. You=re going to have to be there

10 days out. I=d rather be somewhere where I feel safer and just

fly in, test and ride. This way, I think you have more of a chance

of picking it up, being outside of your house and having to go

out to eat. I=m not saying I won=t be riding at Churchill. It=s just

that this is going to be really difficult.@

Bob Baffert, who trains a number of Derby contenders,

including Authentic, said he also hopes Churchill will come up

with another way of dealing with out-of-town riders.

TDN HEADLINE NEWS • PAGE 7 OF 19 • THETDN.COM TUESDAY • AUGUST 4, 2020

Baffert took part in a virtual town hall meeting Monday with

horsemen in which Churchill Downs President Kevin Flannery

discussed the potential rules the track is considering for Derby

week.

AI hope they are still working on this and just threw this out

there,@ he said. ATo me, they=re playing with fire bringing them

in there 10 days before. That gives them a chance to get sick. Let

them come in like Monmouth Park did for the Haskell. They

went to a place there and got tested and within 15 minutes they

got their results. It seems to me that they should let them come

in, test them, let them ride and then let them get out of there.

That is as long as they come in there with a negative test. I told

Kevin Flannery that this was a bad idea. If they wanted to do all

this they should have just run the race in May.@

Baffert said he had yet to discuss Derby week plans with any of

the jockeys who might ordinarily be riding in Kentucky for him.

Ron Anderson, the agent for John Velazquez and Joel Rosario,

said Monday he wasn=t sure what his riders would do.

AChurchill Downs can do what they want to do,@ Anderson

said. AI don=t think it is a proper decision, but it=s their ball game.

We will have to play the cards we are dealt. How many days

would they have to sit out when coming back? I don=t know how

to weigh any of this. I have multiple decisions to make on behalf

of both of my jockeys. Right now, I have no idea what to do. This

is a huge predicament for everybody.@

During the meeting with trainers, Flannery discussed several

other protocols the track is considering, among them allowing

only two owners per Derby horse to come on the backstretch.

Under the proposal, jockeys riding Derby week must take at

least two coronavirus tests before being allowed to ride, one on

Aug. 24 and another on Aug. 31 A rider who tests positive during

the first phase would be required to quarantine for 10 days,

which would still allow them to ride in the Derby and/or the

GI Kentucky Oaks.

A jockey coming into Kentucky to ride for the Churchill

September meet might be inclined to stay. Returning to their

home base would also likely require an additional quarantine

period, while staying in Kentucky would allow them to ride

uninterrupted at Kentucky Downs, the fall meet at Churchill and

then the Breeders= Cup, which will be held Nov. 6 and 7 at

Keeneland.

MAX PLAYER TUNES UP FOR RUNHAPPY

TRAVERS Max Player (Honor Code), who ran on nicely to complete the

trifecta in the GI Belmont S. June 20, turned in his final serious

work Monday morning ahead of a rematch with Tiz the Law

(Constitution) in Saturday=s GI Runhappy Travers S. at Saratoga.

Owned by George Hall and SportBLX Thoroughbreds, Max Player

breezed five furlongs in 1:01.55 over the Belmont training track.

AWe worked him in company head and head with another

horse and they went five-eighths in 1:01.2. It was just a

maintenance breeze,@ said trainer Linda Rice. AIt was just a nice

comfortable breeze. I feel it was exactly what he needed. He'll

ship up to Saratoga on Wednesday and train there.@

Bred by Hall=s K & G Stables, Max Player, a $150,000 buyback

at Keeneland September in 2018, broke his maiden at Parx at

second asking last December, following that effort with a fast-

finishing, 3 1/4-length victory in the GIII Withers S. Feb. 1. He was

trained up to the Belmont and was beaten 5 1/4 lengths into third.

AHe trained very well into the Belmont and had improved

dramatically up to June when the Belmont ran,@ said Rice. ASince

then, we=ve been holding steady. I haven't trained him quite as

aggressively because he's not coming off of a five-month layoff

this time.@

The in-form Joel Rosario retains the call this weekend.

In other Travers developments:

--Trainer Orlando Noda has tabbed David Cohen to ride recent

Saratoga maiden winner First Line (First Samurai) in the 10-

furlong event. Cohen was aboard Golden Ticket (Speightstown)

when he dead-heated with Alpha (Bernardini) in the 2012

Travers.

-->TDN Rising Star= Mystic Guide (Ghostzapper) will pass the

Travers in favor of the GII Jim Dandy S. Sept. 5. "We've been

conservative with the horse up to this point and we'll stay

conservative for now,@ trainer Mike Stidham said of the

Godolphin homebred, third to Travers aspirant Country

Grammer (Tonalist) in the GIII Peter Pan S. July 16.

DEL MAR ADDS RACE DATE The Del Mar Thoroughbred Club has added a 10-race make-up

date to its calendar Aug. 31. First post on the added day will be

2 p.m. The oceanside track had been forced to cancel a

weekend of racing in July when several jockeys tested positive

for coronavirus. The 2020 summer meet will now have 27 live

race dates. It had been scheduled to have 28 days.

Art Collector | Coady

Tiz the Law (cont. from p1)

Right now there are no soft spots evident on Tiz=s resume. He

breaks adeptly from the gate and dictates the tempo even when

he=s just stalking, and when this colt fully uncorks deeper into

his races, it is with enough gusto to win by open lengths and

with no one even close to him in the final furlong. Early in his

career, Tiz had a knack for finding trouble and (mostly)

overcoming it. As he=s matured, he and regular rider Manny

Franco have instead learned to channel that keenness into a

confident assertiveness that forces others to conform to Tiz=s

menacing presence. Tiz the Law will be solidly favored Saturday,

but he=s no mortal lock. Yet if he does win, it will set up the

highly unusual circumstance of the Derby fave already having

won at 1 1/4 miles. Then, of course, with that all-important

distance question answered, the focus will shift to how Tiz=s only

loss to date was at Churchill Downs, the site of the Derby.

2) ART COLLECTOR (c, Bernardini--Distorted Legacy, by

Distorted Humor)

O/B-Bruce Lunsford (KY). T-Thomas Drury Jr. Lifetime Record:

GSW, 8-4-1-0, $548,475.

Last Start: 1st GII Toyota Blue Grass S., KEE, July 11

Next Start: Runhappy Ellis Park Derby, ELP, Aug. 9

Equineline PPs. KY Derby Points: 100

Art Collector goes in Sunday=s Ellis Park Derby as the horse to

beat. But he=s not on the hunt for qualifying points (currently

fifth with 100), so he needn=t be fully cranked when the true

target is really four weeks later in Louisville. His 103 Beyer

Speed Figure, 3 1/2-length breakout win in the GII Blue Grass S.

was admirable for the sustained pressure Art Collector applied

over nine furlongs before out-torqueing a very game Swiss

Skydiver (Daredevil) in the stretch. Yet until we see more

stakes-quality horses run back from Keeneland=s July mini-meet,

it will be hard to quantify how many performances over those

five days were affected by a perceived bias that at times seemed

to favor pace-pressers.

Even if Art Collector did win under ideal circumstances, the

overall body of work for this athletic-framed Bruce Lunsford

homebred does not stamp him as a one-race wonder. He=s

crossed the finish wire first sprinting on the turf, in the slop, and

on a dry track, and then scored by open lengths in both his route

attempts. If you=re a firm believer in the Awhat have you done

for me lately?@ angle, it=s also worth noting that Art Collector

and Tiz the Law are the only Top 12 contenders with perfect

three-for-three records in 2020.

3) HONOR A.P. (r, Honor Code--Hollywood Story, by Wild Rush)

O-C R K Stable LLC. B-George Krikorian (KY). T-John

Shirreffs. Sales History: $850,000 yrl '18 FTSAUG. Lifetime

Record: GISW, 5-2-3-0, $382,200. Last Start: 2nd Shared

Belief S., DMR, Aug. 1. Accomplishments include: 1st GI

Runhappy Santa Anita Derby, June 6; 2nd GII San Felipe S., SA,

Mar. 7. Next Start: GI Kentucky Derby, CD, Sept. 5 Equineline

PPs. KY Derby Points: 140.

Honor A.P. ran second and earned a 102 Beyer Speed Figure

for his effort in the Shared Belief S. at Del Mar. But he never

looked comfortable at 1-5 odds, and even before the race went

off it had an aura of being one of those preps where the

circumstances weren=t going to be ideal for him.

TDN HEADLINE NEWS • PAGE 10 OF 19 • THETDN.COM TUESDAY • AUGUST 4, 2020

Honor A.P. has demonstrated he wants more ground, not less,

and he was cutting back half a furlong to 1 1/16 miles from his

nine-furlong GI Runhappy Santa Anita Derby score. The

dynamics of the four-horse Shared Belief meant he would have

be closer to the pace than he preferred, but Honor A.P. had little

choice but to work from the back of the pack after getting solidly

bumped at the start by one Bob Baffert trainee while another

darted to an uncontested lead. Jockey Mike Smith opted for the

three path on both turns with Honor A.P. while race winner

Thousand Words (Pioneerof the Nile) rode the rail all the way

around. Honor A.P.=s so-so late surge to get second was visually

amplified by Cezanne (Curlin) backpedaling out of contention. AI

haven=t been able to get on him in the mornings [because of

pandemic protocols] and I think that=s made a difference,@ Smith

said. AHe=s just been going along there not doing much in the

mornings. I need to be on him and get more out of himY. This

distance is too short for him, too.@ Except a tighter and mightier

Honor A.P. in Louisville.

4) KING GUILLERMO (c, Uncle Mo--Slow Sand, by Dixieland

Band)

Marengo Investments (KY). T-Juan Avila. Sales History: $90,000

Last Start: 2nd GI Arkansas Derby, OP, May 2

Accomplishments Include: 3rd Pulpit S., GP, Nov. 30; 1st

GII Lambholm South Tampa Bay Derby

Next Start: GI Kentucky Derby, CD, Sept. 5

Equineline PPs. KY Derby Points: 90.

King Guillermo shipped from his Florida base to Churchill

Downs last week, settling into the next phase of his purposely

planned (yet still unconventional) quest to win the Derby off a

127-day gap between starts. Regret won the 1915 Derby off a

259-day break, and Sir Barton won the 1919 Derby off a 238-day

rest. Since 1929 (when more complete records began being

kept), the longest winning layoff has been 42 days, equaled by

Needles in 1956 and Animal Kingdom in 2011. This bay colt won

the GII Tampa Bay Derby off a 97-day respite back in March,

registering a 49-1 shocker that was both visually impressive and

the third-fastest clocking of that stakes in 40 runnings (99

Beyer).

TDN HEADLINE NEWS • PAGE 11 OF 19 • THETDN.COM TUESDAY • AUGUST 4, 2020

Trainer Juan Carlos Avila then shipped him to Oaklawn, where

King Guillermo ran a gutsy second in the faster division of the

split GI Arkansas Derby, responding to a very aggressive ride

from the far turn home. If heavy favorites in the remaining prep

races start to wilt in the August heat, Avila=s Aless is more@ Derby

training plan could end up looking pretty shrewd come the first

Saturday in September and not as strange as when he first

publicly announced it in May.

5) COUNTRY GRAMMER (c, Tonalist--Arabian Song, by

Forestry) O-Paul P Pompa Jr. B-Scott & Debbie Pierce (KY). T-

Chad Brown. Sales History: $60,000 Ylg >18 KEESEP; $450,000

2yo >19 OBSAPR. Lifetime Record: GSW, 5-2-0-1, $117,320.

Last Start: 1st, GIII Peter Pan S., SAR, July 16

Next Start: GI Runhappy Travers S., SAR, Aug. 8.

Equineline PPs. Derby Points: 50

Country Grammer has the most realistic chance of upsetting

Tiz the Law in Saturday=s Travers. This colt=s stalking/grinding

win in the GIII Peter Pan S. on opening day at Saratoga (95

Beyer) caught the eye because of the deft, corner-cutting move

turning for home executed by jockey Irad Ortiz, Jr. And when a

fresh threat emerged in deep stretch, Country Grammer was

emboldened by the challenge, digging in and ripping back the

lead before edging away to a neck victory under confident

handling. Trainer Chad Brown said post-race that his colt seems

suited to longer distances, and he also noted that Country

Grammer just didn=t seem to care for the Belmont Park surface,

over which he trained only okay and finished third in a

contentious June 4 allowance. This is a fresh face within the Top

12 who is two-for-two over nine furlongs by a sire who won the

Thousand Words | Horsephotos

Uncle Chuck takes on Tiz the Law in Saturday=s GI Runhappy Travers S.

Horsephotos

Which is the real Thousand Words? The million-dollar

Keeneland September purchase who reigned as the No. 1

kingpin on this list for most of the winter and wired the Shared

Belief S. with a 104 Beyer on Saturday? Or the well-backed

Pioneerof the Nile bay who lost two important preps in March

and April by a combined 41 lengths? In the Shared Belief,

Thousand Words broke professionally and assumed command at

the head of the four-horse field, dictating a moderate tempo

while not seriously pressured until the top of the lane.

Stablemate Cezanne briefly seized the lead, but Thousand

Words clawed it back in workmanlike fashion, responding to

repeated urging while the top two threats, Cezanne and Honor

A.P., both seemed sapped in deep stretch. The victory wasn=t

exactly a display of dominance, but Thousand Words didn=t need

to tower over his foes to be considered a legitimate threat for

the Derby. He=ll be heading to Churchill on the upswing with a

bit of last-race momentum on his side.

Uncle Chuck, undefeated in a pair of West Coast two-turn

efforts, will get an immersion in the deeper end of the Derby

prep pool when he travels cross-country for Saturday=s

10-furlong Runhappy Travers S. at Saratoga.

This colt=s form got a boost this past weekend when

stablemate Thousand Words, who had finished second to Uncle

Chuck in the July 4 GIII Los Alamitos Derby, came back to wire

the Shared Belief S. at Del Mar at 9-1 odds. This Bob Baffert

trainee has fired three straight training bullets at Del Mar, but

don=t overlook the in-race stamina seasoning Uncle Chuck got

when he raced over the Los Al strip. At 1,380 feet, it=s the

longest in North America.

Shared Sense broke through the Kentucky Derby relevance

barrier with a track-record win in the nine-furlong GIII Indiana

Derby July 8, but the race in his past performance block that

might end up being the truer benchmark for where he belongs

in the Kentucky Derby picture is his second-place effort two

starts back behind Art Collector. Shared Sense was 6 1/2 lengths

behind that fast-rising foe back on June 13 in an allowance/

optional claimer. Has he improved enough in the last two

months to be on even terms with the No. 2-ranked contender?

This Street Sense homebred for Godolphin could get a shot at a

rematch if he=s entered in Sunday=s Runhappy Ellis Park Derby.

Shared Sense breezed a half mile in :50.40 (54/75) on Sunday at

Churchill Downs.

It=s not often that a Derby contender wins a million-dollar race

yet gets downgraded within the Top 12 pecking order. But that=s

the case with Authentic=s GI Haskell S. victory. Even though he

got the job done and earned a 100 Beyer, he left the overall

impression of needing to step up his game if he=s to withstand

intensified pace pressure in a 20-horse field going 10 furlongs.

Authentic was 3-5 against a field of six and secured an easy lead

through tepid fractions. He was home free by three lengths at

the eighth pole, but caved in the final furlong before being

reawakened by a desperate flurry of right-handed stick work

from jockey Mike Smith to salvage a nose victory. In the

aftermath of the Haskell, both Smith and trainer Bob Baffert

referenced focus issues that included Authentic gawking around,

shying from shadows, and Aplaying@ when he should have been

working. Authentic has considerable pace-pressing talent, but

also a history of tardy breaks and losing concentration in the

stretch. Smith said he intentionally rode Authentic assertively

for about a pole past the finish as a schooling measure that

might pay off next time. Baffert suggested blinkers could be

next.

Next Start: Uncommitted

Equineline PPs. KY Derby Points: 43.

If the Derby were run today, Enforceable would be about 30-1.

But he would still be tough to exclude from exotics because both

his stamina-centric pedigree and running style suggest that

when pace and trip circumstances align, the tools are there for

this colt to run right by everybody in the stretch over 10

furlongs. Even though the race record of this expensive KEESEP

buyback isn=t stellar (2-for-10 with only a MSW and the GIII

Lecomte S. to his credit), do you really want to toss out a Mark

Casse-conditioned horse who will have had six weeks of training

over the Churchill surface by race day? Especially if the race

ends up being front-loaded with sacrificial speed? Enforceable

seemed to be fighting a significant first-flight bias at Keeneland

while adrift on both turns when fourth in the Blue Grass S.

behind duelers who finished 8 1/2 lengths clear of the pack. He

breezed five-eighths on Saturday in 1:02.60 (14/19), starting

two lengths behind a fellow Tapit-sired maiden workmate, then

finishing about a half-length to the good at the wire before

continuing in front through a six-furlong gallop out of 1:15.80.

Equineline PPs. KY Derby Points: 30.

Sole Volante will be up against the grain of conventionality as

he points to the Derby as the lone remaining Top 12 contender

still based in Florida: he=s a gelding who generally trains over the

turf at Palm Meadows, he=s cutting it close for eligibility points

(currently 19th on the cutoff list with 30), and he=ll be sporting a

78-day layoff line by the time the first Saturday in September

rolls around. Yet the son of Karakontie had a solid-enough

early-career foundation of turf and dirt races (all at 7 1/2

furlongs or longer)--replete with Beyers in the 90s range (four

times)--to think that he should be able to bounce back off a

summer freshening better than some of his peers. Sole Volante

is a light-framed stayer who probably won=t require a ton of

work to get race ready over the next 4 1/2 weeks. Even though

his Breeders= Cup Mile-winning sire=s sweet spot was eight

furlongs, his dam=s only win in England was in a 14-furlong race,

so the 10-furlong Derby is theoretically within his scope.

This first-crop Honor Code colt ($150,000 KEESEP RNA)

currently rates as a Awork in progress@ type of sophomore, and

Saturday=s Runhappy Travers S. should provide a clearer read on

where he stands and where he=s headed, progression-wise. He

has yet to run a poor race (2-1-1 from four starts). But one of

those wins was a Parx maiden against only five rivals and the

other was in the Feb. 1 GIII Withers when he pressed a tiring

favored pacemaker into submission through moderate fractions.

Max ran third in the Belmont S. behind Tiz the Law, and that

effort was credible considering this inexperienced colt was

coming off a 4 1/2-month layoff. But now that five horses have

run back out of the Belmont, that race doesn=t look as strong on

paper as did six weeks ago: Four Belmont starters have come

back and lost next-out graded stakes, while one returned to win

an allowance at Colonial Downs.

BEHIND THE LENS: KURTIS COADYby T.D. Thornton

This is the fourth installment in a series highlighting racetrack

photographers.

Around 1960, a funeral director decided he=d had enough of

the cold Chicago winters, so he uprooted his family to Phoenix

to ply his trade in a warmer clime. Upon arrival, Jack Coady, Sr.

learned his Illinois mortician=s certification didn=t match

Arizona=s requirements, so he set out to look for another line of

work. He liked photography and caught on with the Arizona

Republic newspaper. On one of his very first assignments, he

was sent to shoot the races at Turf Paradise.

Jack Sr. enjoyed the racing so much that he accepted a

position as the Turf Paradise track photographer in 1962. As the

years went on, sons Jack Jr. and Jeff helped to expand the family

business, taking winner=s circle pictures, operating the race

timing, and later providing video services for numerous small

tracks across the Southwest.

By the 1990s, a third generation of Coady photographers

started getting involved. Jeff was based primarily in Texas, and

his sons, Shawn (now 44), and twins Kurtis and Kevin (now both

40) took turns behind the lens while also learning the bookkeeping

and how to move the whole operation from meet to meet.

In high school Kurtis wanted to be an architect. But then he

took an advertising design class that was progressive in 1996

because of its use of computerized technology to edit and lay

out photos. This sparked an interest in computer programming,

and even before Kurtis started pursuing an information systems

degree at the University of Texas, he began laying out for his

father a vision of how digital photography and transmitting

images over the internet was about to revolutionize the

industry.

TDN HEADLINE NEWS • PAGE 15 OF 19 • THETDN.COM TUESDAY • AUGUST 4, 2020

American Pharoah in the 2015 Rebel Stakes | Coady

The Coadys bet big on that transition to digital, and the gamble

paid off in the form of landing more track contracts. The family

decided to get out of the timing and video end of the business to

concentrate on what it did best: shooting and supplying

racetrack photography for 32 venues across the country,

including all the Kentucky tracks and as the official photographer

of the GI Kentucky Derby.

Kurtis now splits the shooting with Shawn, and together they

oversee a staff of 50 Coady photographers who rotate from

track to track. Kevin handles the accounting while Jack Jr.

remains involved as an ownership partner. Jack Sr. (2008) and

Jeff (2013) have both passed away. But speaking from his home

and horse farm in Fisherville, Kentucky, Kurtis detailed how the

third-generation family business still resonates with their

founding spirit. An edited and condensed transcript follows.

TDN: Describe the AAh-ha!" moment when, as a kid in high

school, you convinced your dad to alter the fundamental way

the family had run its family business for close to four decades.

KC: At the time, we were all film. And that jump into digital, at

that time, was very expensive. The very first professional body

camera was the Nikon D1, and it was stupid expensive.

Especially if you consider that we owned all the film

equipment and had no overhead. But my father said, AWe need

to do this big. We need to go big.@ So we went full-steam ahead;

a huge investment for my father. But we went from a handful of

contracts to the point where we now serve 32 tracks. My father,

he=s second generation. I=m third generation. That was very

inspirational, because all we did day and night was work

together to make that transition.

Compared to other photographers, we=re very data-oriented.

So much so that everything we do is on one server out of

Phoenix that we built ourselves. It=s 120 terabytes. And every

Coady computer across the country is synched to it. So if I=m at

Keeneland and an owner walks into the office who just had a

horse win at Indiana Grand, no problem. I can print those

photos in two minutes. I programmed our first six generations of

websites along with my father and Shawn. On our current

website, we have 250,000 races available for sale. And some of

those races have 30 photos posted.

TDN: Coady Photography=s first all-digital meet was Delta

Downs in 2001. But it still took a few years for larger tracks to

embrace that format. Where and when was the big

breakthrough?

TDN HEADLINE NEWS • PAGE 16 OF 19 • THETDN.COM TUESDAY • AUGUST 4, 2020

Prior to the 2016 Derby | Coady

KC: Our biggest, biggest break was getting the Oaklawn Park

contract in 2003. At the time, I always thought we we=re a

mom-and-pop business. And, at the time, I didn=t want to be a

photographer. I wanted to be an architect and go off and do my

own thing.

Then we went to Oaklawn and we had Azeri, Smarty Jones,

Curlin. All these big horses just kept hitting, year after year. And

as the racing got better for us and the bigger tracks started

noticing us, I kind of just realized that this was my calling and

what I was born to do. It was so amazing for us. You just felt so

alive. And that=s pretty much the same for my brothers. Shawn

has worked for the family company since he was 16 years old.

And Kevin=s actually a commercial pilot. He quit flying cargo

planes and working as a flight instructor to come work for the

company.

TDN: To what extent, if any, do emotions creep in now that

you=re routinely shooting elite-level horses at history-making

events?

KC: My first Derby [that Coady Photography had under contract]

was Nyquist in 2016. I wasn=t nervous, and neither were my

brothers or my staff. We were just meant to be there. We were

ready. And it didn=t hit me--at all--until the crowd started singing

AMy Old Kentucky Home.@ Then I had to turn away. I was a

wreck. I just started bawling. Because my dad missed it. When

my father died, it was before the Breeders= Cup at Keeneland.

He had shot the Breeders= Cup before, but never as the official

photographer of the host track. And that was hard, knowing he

had missed both his first official Derby and his first official

Breeders= Cup. Those were his gigs as much as mine.

TDN: What are some shots you=ve taken that stand out?

KC: The most important photo I ever took in my life was Justify

[at the 2018 Derby] with the rain coming down; the toughest

lighting. And everybody on my staff nailed it. You would have

thought it was full daylight outside. It was beautiful. My shot,

the shutter was perfect. I stopped the rain. The background with

the military personnel standing at attention. Everything in my

picture was perfect.

I also had a shot of American Pharoah in the [2015 GII] Rebel

S. at Oaklawn. It had rained really bad. A small puddle settled on

the track after they floated it. And he hit that puddle and broke

his shoe. So in my shot going to the finish, his shoe=s halfway off.

You can see it perfectly. And the way he stumbled just a little

bit, yet prevailed with that monstrous energy, I remember

thinking, AThis horse is going to be the only Triple Crown winner

I=ll see in my lifetime.@ And that was at the Rebel S. in March.

Then Justify came around the corner three years later to win his

Triple Crown, and that too was life-changing.

TDN: Lately there hasn=t been much energy at tracks because

fans either aren=t permitted or attendance is scaled back

because of COVID-19 restrictions. What was it like this spring

shooting big races in front of empty grandstands?

KC: For a while, we just had Oaklawn and Will Rogers going.

Normally, we would have had about 16 tracks running at that

time. I was shooting at Oaklawn, and it was tough. It was weird.

And all I could think of every day was, AI wish so many people

were here.@ So many great fans, people I=m friends with, horse

owners who couldn=t get in because of the lockdown. I was just

thinking how fortunate I was to be one of the ones actually

allowed on the grounds.

TDN: Your work takes you to far-flung tracks that most people

only see on the simulcast feed. Can you list a few that stick

with you because of either the background or the ambience?

KC: It=s so hard to nail them all. Shooting at Hialeah, very briefly

in 2001--the flamingoes and the absolute beauty of all of it. And

then you go out west and see a place like Sunland Park. It looks

like it=s in the middle of the desert. You watch it on video, but it

doesn=t do it justice with the mountains in the background.

Turf Paradise--the amount of work they put in that infield and

the condition of that turf course. And everything there is that

1960s architecture. It=s like going back in time.

Then you have the small tracks like Delta Downs. It=s just a

little bullring. But the feel is amazing--it just feels ALouisiana.@

The same with Evangeline Downs.

Kurtis Coady | Coady

Price and Headley Bell | Eclipse Sportswire

It=s neat because we get to see every bit of this country going

to all these tracks. And every track has an appeal. There are so

many things that people don=t get a chance to appreciate.

TDN: What advice do you have for photographers who aspire

to shoot horse races for a living?

KC: I think the best advice I could give is come shoot with us.

Drop me a note saying, AI just want to shoot for the weekend to

learn how to get into this.@ We=ll teach you the ins and outs. We

love it. We=re happy to help. We want to be there for the

community of horse racing photographers. And the same thing

goes for amateur photographers. If you can actually show to me

that you=re dedicated and I feel it, I=ll put you on the track right

next to me and we can shoot together.

TDN: What about words of wisdom for fans who just want to

get decent shots on their phone cameras from either the

stands or near the rail?

KC: Of all the cell phone shots I=ve ever seen, the shots that

really hit home are the shots where the crowd stands out. Get

that finish with the crowd in front of you. Show that excitement.

Show those hands in the air, the screaming, the cheering.

Everybody gets the shot of the horse. But get the shot of the

reason we=re running that horse--the crowd. Those are the best

shots.

Working in racing has always been a stressful occupation; a

roller-coaster of emotions, triumphs and tragedies, long hours

and travel. Add a global pandemic and unprecedented economic

worry, with many participants fearing for their health,

livelihoods and businesses, and the stress can become almost

overwhelming. It=s the sort of topic many people don=t like to

talk about, but we asked several industry participants to open

about what particular stresses they were feeling during these

very concerning times, and how they were dealing with them.

PRICE BELL, Mill Ridge Farm

We are very lucky. My godfather spent 20 days in the ICU due

to COVID-19 and twice was presented DNR papers to sign, giving

him 30 minutes to improve his oxygen saturation levels prior to

intubating him.

He is home--still recovering, but home. He was diagnosed on

Mar. 16. We spoke on Mar. 18 and at that time, Ait was not as

bad as the flu, just more aggravating.@ On Mar. 20 he was

admitted to the hospital, Mar. 22 the ICU and discharged home

on Apr. 12. He is still recovering, but can now walk for 30

minutes. He played fullback for Coach Parcells at Vanderbilt, and

on Mar. 15, he was in the best shape of his life. We are lucky.

It is really hard. Like many, Beth and I both work full-time.

Trying to excel in our professions, parent/teach/keep it on the

rails with our two children (five and three) and have a

relationship is impossible. The peace of two sleeping children is

often our greatest victory.

Perspective, patience and community have been key to

Ahandling@ the stress of the pandemic.

Perspective that our health, the health of our team, the health

of their families and the health of our families and loved ones is

paramount.

Patience that we are all going through this together. We have

to be patient with each other because it=s impossible to know if

someone is up or down on the Acoronacoaster.@ I can=t say that I

always have perspective and patience, but it=s something I am

consciously working towards.

Our community has provided us with plenty of silver linings.

We have felt great joy in sharing Mill Ridge on virtual tours, we

have had many family picnics that never would have occurred

because we would have been Atoo busy@ in the past and we

have forged relationships with plenty of neighbors with whom

we would have normally only shared a passing hello. And, the

love I felt at the outpouring of support when I tested positive for

COVID-19 recently and had to isolate away from my family for

11 days. I was lucky and asymptomatic.

We will get through this and be stronger together.

OVERNIGHT PURSE INCREASE AT LA DOWNS Officials at Harrahs Louisiana Downs in Bossier City, LA, have

announced an across-the-board purse increase of $1,500 per

race beginning Saturday, Aug. 8 and continuing through the end

of the meet Wednesday, Sept. 23.

AWe thank our local horsemen for their support since the live

racing season began on June 6,@ said David Heitzmann, director

of racing at Harrah=s Louisiana Downs. AThis has been a very

challenging year due to COVID-19, so we are pleased to reward

these hard working men and women with a purse increase of

$1,500 across the board.@

Track officials also announced the Louisiana Cup Day program,

which had been in limbo due to the ongoing pandemic. A half-

dozen stakes, each offering purse money of $40,000, will take

place Saturday, Sept. 19. Roger Heitzmann, Executive Director of

the Louisiana Thoroughbred Breeders Association (LTBA); Ed

Fenasci, Executive Director of the HBPA and David Heitzmann,

director of Racing at Harrah=s Louisiana Downs, have worked

diligently to put the annual stakes day back on the calendar. On

June 16, the LTBA Board of Directors voted to earmark $100,000

for Louisiana Cup Day.

AWe are grateful to LTBA for allocating the funds so we can run

Louisiana Cup Day once again this year,@ added Heitzmann. AThis

is a very important day for our breeders, horsemen, and of

course, the fans at Harrah=s Louisiana Downs.@

RRP=S MAKEOVER MARKETPLACE TRANSITIONS TO

VIRTUAL EVENT Owing to a grant from the ASCPA, the Retired Racehorse

Project will continue to produce the Makeover Marketplace as a

means to promote transitioned Thoroughbreds as premier sport

The ASPCA Makeover Marketplace catalog will once again be

offered in print as well as digitally. Sign-ups are now open to

receive the catalog, which will be printed in the Fall 2020 issue

of Off-Track Thoroughbred Magazine.

AThe ASPCA Makeover Marketplace has become one of the

country=s premier horse shopping and adoption opportunities

for equestrians looking for well-started sport horse prospects,@

said Jen Roytz, Executive Director of the RRP.

ATraditionally, horse shopping includes extensive travel, often

going to multiple farms in different states in order to consider

horses, but changing mandates and travel restrictions during the

pandemic are limiting those opportunities. The Marketplace lets

you browse from the comfort of your couch and peruse dozens

of photos, videos and descriptions of equine athletes for

adoption or sale who have had the proper care, nutrition and

training to make a successful transition to a competitive or

recreational career after racing.@

The digital catalog will be released at tbmakeover.org the

week of Aug. 10, and individual horses will be featured on the

RRP=s social media. Watch the RRP=s Facebook page for

additional virtual spotlights of Marketplace horses this fall.

8-2, 3yo/up, f/m, 6f, 1:10.48, ft.

FLAT OUT SPEED (f, 3, Flat Out--Blue Gallina, by Street Sense)

kicked off her career with a trio of wins over this track, including

a front-running score in the Prairie Gold Lassie S. and the Iowa

Sorority S. against fellow Iowa breds. Sixth in her seasonal

reappearance in Oaklawn=s Purple Mountain S. in April, the dark

bay rebounded in her return to Prairie Meadows to take the

state-bred Bob Bryant S. and the GIII Iowa Oaks July 5. Sent to

her customary place in front early, the 2-5 choice increased her

advantage at every call and was five-lengths clear of Konza

Kandy (Twirling Candy) at the line. Blue Gallina is also

represented by a juvenile colt by Dominus and a filly foal by Not

This Time. She was bred to Good Samaritan earlier this season.

second behind opening splits of :22.41 and :45.85, the 1-2

choice headed that rival in the lane and drew clear to score by

1 3/4 lengths over the closing Baytown Bear (Upstart). Object

foaled a full-brother to Sunshine City in 2019 followed by an

Exaggerator filly this term. Object is a granddaughter of GSW &

GISP Wild Applause (Northern Dancer), the dam of GISW

through a :22.38 quarter. Clear and moving easily turning for

home, the 6-5 choice pulled away with aplomb, crossing the

wire a geared-down eight-length winner over Bravo Regina.

Palmgirl (Commisioner) completed the trifecta. The winner is a

half to Grade III-placed Royal Act (American Pharoah). Grade III-

placed True Feelings--a half-sister to Flirtaious (A.P. Indy),
