Aidan O=Brien looks for a 12th win in the
Irish 2000 Guineas | Racing Post

O=BRIEN TARGETS IRISHGUINEAS DOZEN
While Khalid Abdullah=s unbeaten Siskin (First Defence) is the
current favourite for Friday evening=s i250,000 G1 Irish 2000
Guineas at The Curragh, the G2 Railway S. and G1 Phoenix S.
winner is far from the certainty that Pinatubo (Ire) (Shamardal)
appeared to be at Newmarket six days earlier and even that
champion met with reversal at crunch-time. Connections will be
hoping that the forecast rain does not make a major difference
to the current fast conditions and the homebred enters his
Classic test showing all the right signals. His biggest issue is
probably the strong opposition, with a deeper field bringing
about a more open renewal than is sometimes the case
including a six-strong battalion from a Ballydoyle stable that is
off to a flyer in 2020.
With a record 11 wins in this since Desert King (Ire) (Danehill
Dancer {Ire}) opened the scoring in 1997, Aidan O=Brien bows to
no-one and it is hard to argue that any of his representatives can
be safely ruled out of this edition. While the season is less than a
week old as far as this stable is concerned, the initial signs are
very positive that everything is in full working order at
Rosegreen.

Monarch Of Egypt | Racing Post
O=Brien Targets Irish Guineas Dozen cont. from p1
Successful in the G1 1000 Guineas and very nearly so in the G1
2000 Guineas at Newmarket--with what was viewed in the latter
as the stable=s second-string--the operation could easily be
celebrating yet another of their fabled whitewashes in an Irish
Classic we have become so used to witnessing down the years.
On official ratings, there is only five pounds between the five
who stepped outside of maiden company in 2019 with >TDN
Rising Star= Monarch of Egypt (American Pharoah) topping them
courtesy of his second in the G1 Phoenix S. Intriguingly, Seamie
Heffernan who has yet to win this particular race has sided with
another >TDN Rising Star= in Lope Y Fernandez (Ire) (Lope de
Vega {Ire}), who came up short behind Pinatubo on two
occasions last term before winning the six-furlong G3 Round
Tower S. here in August. Only sixth in the G1 Middle Park S. at
Newmarket when last seen in October, the bay could be ready
for a step up to a mile and will probably appreciate easy ground
more than some of his stablemates if the rain sets in.
With three defeats after his success in the seven-furlong G3
Tyros S. at Leopardstown in July and the G2 Futurity S. here in
August, Armory (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) has some questions to
answer. His third placing behind the subsequent G1 Poule
d=Essai des Poulains first and third Victor Ludorum (GB)
(Shamardal) and Alson (Ger) (Areion {Ger}) in the G1 Prix
Jean-Luc Lagardere at ParisLongchamp on Arc day was followed
by a poor 20-lengths second to the latter in that track=s seven-
furlong G1 Criterium International later that month, but that
came in sapping conditions which probably exaggerated the
differential between them.
The master of Ballydoyle spoke to the Racing Post on Thursday
about his prospects. AArmory seems to be in good form and we
were happy with him during the winter and through the spring.
AWe have had our eye on this race for him for a long time. Lope
Y Fernandez won the Round Tower over six furlongs, so he is
going into unknown territory with regards to the trip but we
have been happy with his work and he also seems to be in good
form. Vatican City (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) is a lovely horse. This is
only his third run, but we are looking forward to seeing what he
is going to do. We=ve always thought he was a very nice colt.@
ARoyal Lytham (Ire) (Gleneagles {Ire}) can race a little lazily,
which is why we are fitting him with blinkers, but he has never
run beyond six furlongs. He won the July S. over that trip and
he=s a lovely, relaxed horse so we=ll learn a lot about him.
Monarch of Egypt is a horse we=ve always liked. He worked
better than he showed on a racecourse last year, but does have
some nice pieces of form. It=s a big step up in trip for him as
well, but we always felt he=d stay a mile. Fort Myers (War Front)
is a solid horse. He had a very good run in the Champagne S. last
year and we felt the Curragh mile would really suit him. He=s in
good order and this type of race should suit him.@
With Jessica Harrington=s stable beginning this season where
they left off, it is not inconceivable that the Niarchos Family=s
>TDN Rising Star= Free Solo (Ire) (Showcasing {GB}) could also hit
the ground running here.

O=Brien Targets Irish Guineas Dozen cont.
He had Tuesday=s G3 Derrinstown Stud Derby Trial winner
Cormorant (Ire) (Kingman {GB}) back in fourth when scoring by
five lengths on what was to be his juvenile finale at
Leopardstown in July and it is impossible to put a true marker on
his ability at present.
Unsurprisingly, Kingman (GB) has got off to a flyer in 2020 and
His Highness The Aga Khan=s son of the Juddmonte wunderkind
Sinawann (Ire) will be a factor if there is a significant going
change to turn this into more of a test of stamina. His gallant
second to Mogul (GB) (Galileo {Ire}) in the G2 Champions
Juvenile S. over a mile on Leopardstown=s Irish Champions card
marked him as more of a Derby prospect, but trainer Mick
Halford is keen to try this speed test.
AThe horse is in good form and has trained really well, so we=re
happy with him,@ Halford said. AObviously Siskin looks the
obvious one, he=s a very justifiable favourite and then you=ve
always got Aidan. Our fellow has shown a good level of form as a
2-year-old and we felt he was entitled to take his chance. The
Curragh is a stiff track and you=d need to get every yard. It=s
usually a strong gallop and that will certainly play into our
hands.@
Also on the Curragh card is the G3 Coolmore Ten Sovereigns
Gallinule S., which sees the G1 Criterium de Saint-Cloud third
Mythical (Fr) (Camelot {GB}) head a Ballydoyle duo taking on

WHERE DID THEY COME FROM?
Irish 2000 Guineas
By Emma Berry
There's been almost no getting away from You'resothrilling
(Storm Cat) when it comes to the Irish Guineas in recent years.
The sister to Giant's Causeway has conducted an exclusive
relationship with Galileo (Ire) since departing to stud and their
first foal, Marvellous (Ire), won the Irish 1000 Guineas, swiftly
followed by her year-younger brother Gleneagles (Ire), who took
the Irish 2000 Guineas as the middle leg of a Group 1 treble at
three. Taj Mahal (Ire) broke the mould by heading instead to the
Prix du Jockey Club, in which he was fourth, and next in line was
Happily (Ire), who was only third in the Irish 1000 Guineas, but
she already had two Group 1s to her name by then.
The Group 3-winning juvenile Coolmore (Ire) didn't quite live
up to her portentous name, but now we find the mare's current
3-year-old, Vatican City (Ire), among the challengers for this
year's Classic. He is not the only member of the family in the
line-up, however, as he will be facing his own stablemate, Fort
Myers (War Front), a son of his sister Marvellous.

Rebel Tale was a $37,000 yearling | Racing Post
Where Did They Come From? cont.
Armory (Ire)
Galileo (Ire)--After (Ire) (Danehill Dancer {Ire})
A Coolmore homebred who was a very consistent sort last
year, winning his maiden followed by the G3 Tyros S. and G2
Futurity S. Placed efforts behind Pinatubo (Ire), Victor Ludorum
(Ire) and Alson (Ger) in three consecutive Group 1 races last
autumn make him a major player. He is the second foal of his
dam, who was fifth in the Irish 1000 Guineas of 2012.
Fiscal Rules (Ire)
Make Believe (GB)--Gold Mirage (Galileo {GB})
Homebred by his trainer Jim Bolger, Fiscal Rules made a bold
debut when being beaten a head into second by subsequent
2000 Guineas runner-up Wichita (Ire) at The Curragh last
August. From a family which includes the illustrious miler
Goldikova (Ire), his dam was bought from the Breeding Capital
dispersal at Tattersalls in 2010 for 30,000gns and went on to win
the following year over a mile and a half. She is also the dam of
the Group 3-winning stayer Cimeara (Ire) (Vocalised).
Fort Myers
War Front--Marvellous (Ire) (Galileo {Ire})
As mentioned above, his dam won the Irish 1000 Guineas in
2014 and his grandam is a full-sister to Giant's Causeway. Fort
Myers was third to Siskin in the G2 Railway S., and also to Lope Y
Fernandez (Ire) in the G3 Round Tower S. before taking out the
Listed Star Appeal S. at Dundalk and flying to Santa Anita for a
mid-div finish in the GI Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf.
Free Solo (Ire)
Showcasing (GB)--Amuser (Ire) (Galileo {Ire})
The Niarchos family is represented by this grandson of their
brilliant treble Group 1-winning miler Six Perfections (Fr). Free
Solo's dam never raced but is a sister to three stakes winners in
Yucatan (Ire), Mount Everest (Ire) and Faufiler (Ire). He won his
maiden easily over a mile last July at Leopardstown after
finishing third to the ill-fated Year Of The Tiger (Ire) on debut.
Lope Y Fernandez (Ire)
Lope De Vega (Ire)--Black Dahlia (GB) (Dansili {GB})
A i900,000 Coolmore purchase at the Arqana August Yearling
Sale, his breeder SF Bloodstock bought his dam, a five-time
winner between seven and 10 furlongs, for 40,000gns back in
2010 and she has proved a good buy. Her son by Dream Ahead,
Dark Vision (Ire), won the G2 Vintage S. and Lope Y Fernandez
ran third in that same race behind Pinatubo (as well as having
finished second to him in the Chesham) before winning the G3
Round Tower S.
Monarch Of Egypt
American Pharoah--Up (Ire) (Galileo {Ire})
The first European runner and winner for the American Triple
Crown hero American Pharoah last season, Monarch Of Egypt
was bred by Ran Jan Racing and was picked up in partnership by
Coolmore and Peter Brant for $750,000 at the Keeneland
September Sale. His dam, a $2.2 million purchase in 2015, was
runner-up to Beauty Parlour (Jpn) in the G1 Poule d'Essai des
Pouliches and won the G2 Blandford S. Monarch Of Egypt didn't
win again after his successful April debut but he was runner-up
to Siskin in both the G2 Railway S. and G1 Phoenix S.
Rebel Tale
Tale Of The Cat--Purr And Prowl (Purim)
A $37,000 Keeneland September purchase by Mags O'Toole,
Rebel Tale won his maiden as a juvenile in May and rounded out
his season by running second to Armory in the G2 Futurity S. and
fourth behind Mogul (GB) in the G2 KMPG Champions Juvenile
S. His dam won over nine furlongs on the turf in the U.S. and his
half-sister, the treble winner La Vale (Freedom Child), was
bought by Joe Foley at the Tattersalls December Mares' Sale last
year for 16,000gns.
Royal Lytham (Ire)
Gleneagles (Ire)--Gotlandia (Fr) (Anabaa)
Like the Poule d'Essai des Pouliches winner Dream And Do
(Ire), Royal Lytham was bred by Haras du Logis Saint German
and was sold by Olivier Carli's farm for i180,000 at the Arqana
August Sale to MV Magnier. Carli raced his Quesnay-bred dam,
who was a listed winner over seven furlongs at three.

Where Did They Come From? cont.
Sinawann (Ire)
Kingman (GB)--Simawa (Ire) (Anabaa)
The winner of a Curragh maiden over a mile in August, this Aga
Khan homebred was then second to Mogul (GB) in the G2 KPMG
Champions Juvenile S. on Irish Champions Weekend. His dam is
a winning half-sister to dual Derby and Arc winner Sinndar (Ire)
and has three other black-type earners to her credit.
Siskin
First Defence--Bird Flown (GB) (Oasis Dream {GB})
Sets a high benchmark with his four wins from four starts,
culminating in the G1 Keeneland Phoenix S. The only blot on his
copybook came on his sole trip outside Ireland when he was
withdrawn from the G1 Juddmonte Middle Park S. after
becoming unsettled in the stalls. His dam is a grand-daughter of
Monroe, the dam of Xaar (GB), and the dam's half-sister Rising
Tornado has produced the five-time Grade 1 winner Close
Hatches (also by First Defence), who is in turn the dam of GII
Wood Memorial winner and GI Kentucky Derby third Tacitus.
Vatican City (Ire)
Galileo (Ire)--You'resothrilling (Storm Cat)
The winner of a seven-furlong Dundalk maiden in October on
his second and most recent start but, as discussed at the top,
this Coolmore homebred is fully entitled to be given due
consideration on pedigree.
KENZAI CONNECTIONS PONDERING ASCOTTARGET Kenzai Warrior (Karakontie {Jpn}) will attempt to makeamends for a luckless G1 2000 Guineas run at Royal Ascot nextweek, but connections have yet to decide in which race. Last year=s G3 Horris Hill S. winner jumped in the air at thestart of the Guineas before winding up ninth, and holds entriesin both the G1 St James=s Palace S. over that same mile trip andthe G2 King Edward VII S. over 12 furlongs. AI have got to discuss it with his owners and [jockey] JasonWatson, we=ve not made a decision yet--it=s up in the air,@ saidtrainer Roger Teal. AI suppose the question is whether you wantto jump straight up to a mile and a half from a mile. AHe=s totally fine after last week, he didn=t really have a hardtime of it. We put him through the stalls in the week before andhe hardly moved, so I don=t know what it was. Perhaps it wasthe adrenaline of raceday and he just anticipated the start, butunfortunately it was all over in a couple of strides.@

Owners will celebrate at home this year | Racing Post
FAR ABOVE INJURED, RETIRED Far Above (Ire) (Farhh {GB}BDorraar {Ire}, by Shamardal), the
eye-catching winner of last weekend=s G3 Palace House S., has
been retired from racing after emerging from that victory with
an injured sesamoid.
AUnfortunately it was the news we didn=t want,@ said trainer
James Tate. AIt=s a small injury, but a particularly awkward one in
a tricky place.@
An 18,000gns yearling turned 105,000gns 2-year-old, Far
Above ran just five times but flashed talent in that short career.
He won three of his four outings last year after debuting in April,
including the Listed Prix Kistena at Deauville in July.
AIt=s been a brilliant but brief career--who knows what could
have been?@ Tate said. AYou all got a glimpse of it in the Palace
House, but from what we saw at home, we know just how good
he could have been. He still wasn=t at 100% on Saturday.
AThe silver lining is that he can have a second career now, at
stud. If he hadn=t won on Saturday that wouldn=t have been
possible.@
ASCOT ANNOUNCES VIRTUAL OWNER
EXPERIENCE Ascot Racecourse has unveiled details of its virtual owner
experience for next week=s Royal Ascot meeting behind closed
doors. The racecourse has launched a Racing Hub that will house
the Turftrax live feed to real time weather data and going stick
readings, access to a 360 degree parade ring camera feed and
full sectionals from each race.
Ascot=s official photographer will photograph every horse in
the parade ring.
Owners will receive a pair of traditional printed Royal Ascot
racecards in advance of racedays, personalised with the name of
their horse. Full racecards will also be digitally produced on the
Racing Hub. Included with the posted racecards will be souvenir
"Royal Ascot At Home" owners badges. Trophies will be sent to
winning owners after the event along with mementoes for
winning trainers and jockeys.
Nick Smith, director of racing and public affairs at Ascot, said,
"Whilst the ultimate experience of being at Royal Ascot sadly
isn't possible this year, we hope that what we are planning will
make ownership at home as special as possible. We are
particularly pleased to be able to provide owners with a feed to
the parade ring, and to be housing all the data that all horsemen
need from real time weather and going reports to post race
sectionals in one, convenient place. We are very conscious of
the loyalty and commitment to the sport that owners have
shown over the past months and when permitted, of course
they will be the first constituents welcomed back to Ascot."
Charlie Liverton, chief executive of the Racehorse Owners'
Association, added, "I am thrilled that Royal Ascot and the ROA
have been able to put together some fantastic initiatives that
help to bring the magic of Royal Ascot home. They have gone to
extraordinary lengths to bring owners virtually in to the
paddock, to speak with their trainers and jockeys and receive
special behind the scenes access, along with personalised
racecards for all those with a horse running. As ever, it will
never replicate being able to attend in person, but rest assured
we are working hard with the BHA and racecourses to get
owners back on course as a priority."

race second before slipping to third at halfway in this return.
Coming under pressure rounding the home bend, the 7-2
chance quickened smartly for continued urging in the short
straight to deny Tenth Century (GB) (Fountain of Youth {Ire}) by
a half-length in the dying strides, becoming the second winner
for her freshman sire (by Dark Angel {Ire}). Half-brother to a

ESTIJAAB EMBODIESEMIRATES PARK=S
GLOBAL APPROACH
by Bren O'Brien
With its G1 Golden Slipper winner Estijaab (Snitzel) now in foalin the United Kingdom, a new stallion ready to begin his careerat Newgate and racing interests across the world, it's been abusy start to 2020 for Emirates Park. A world away from the hustle and bustle of Rosehill on one ofAustralia's biggest days of racing, Golden Slipper S. winnerEstijaab is embarking on her new career at Adrian and PhilippaO'Brien's Hazelwood Bloodstock farm at Newmarket. The second most expensive yearling filly by three-timeChampion Sire Snitzel, who became that stallion's only Group 1winning 2-year-old daughter, Estijaab would be among the mostvaluable first-season broodmares in the country, had sheremained in Australia. But her owners Emirates Park, who paid $1.7 million for her atthe 2017 Inglis Easter Yearling Sale, opted to send Estijaab to theUnited Kingdom in January to be mated with the legendaryFrankel (GB) (Galileo {Ire}) and become the latest member of itselite Northern Hemisphere broodmare band, which is basedwith Hazelwood. Having visited Frankel at Juddmonte Farms in February,Estijaab got in foal to the unbeaten champion at her firstattempt and Emirates Park is now awaiting the arrival of whatshall be a very valuable first foal.
Estijaab, who is herself out of a Group 1-winning mare in
Response (Charge Forward), was joined on her trip by the
multiple Group 2-winner Shumookh (Dream Ahead {USA}), who
began her breeding career with a visit to Darley's Night Of
Thunder (Ire) at Kildangan Stud in Kildare.
The duo forms a key plank in the Emirates Park strategy of
mixing the strength of its Australian-bred broodmare band with
the elite sires of the Northern Hemisphere with a view to racing
its best stock in Europe, the United Kingdom and Ireland.
"We want to breed to race up there for Emirates Park Principal
His Excellency Nasser Lootah," Emirates Park General Manager
Bryan Carlson told TDN AusNZ.
"All his friends race up there, so we can do that and access
those better stallions up there like Frankel and Kingman (GB)
and the like. Some of those fillies we may breed up there will
come back, but it gives us access to those bloodlines.
"The mares we sent overseas this year are going well. Estijaab
went to Frankel and she went in foal first time and she is doing
very well. Similarly, Shumookh got in foal to Night Of Thunder
which was good."
Night Of Thunder has backed up excellent results from his first
crop in the Northern Hemisphere, where he had seven stakes
winners, to produce eight winners from 13 starters from his sole
Australian crop, including two stakes winners.
"He's just doing so well as a sire," Carlson said of the son of
Dubawi (Ire). "He's become one of the hottest young sires in the
Northern Hemisphere at the moment."

Carlson said the intention as that Estijaab would remain in the
United Kingdom for two or three years before returning home
to Australia.
Among the other mares in the Newmarket band is the
half-sister to Darley stallion Sepoy, Necklace (Eavesdropper
{USA}), as well as Shumookh's half-sister Shahad (Fastnet Rock).
Shumookh and Shahad are out of one of the most famous
Emirates Park products in the triple Group 1 winner Shamekha
(Secret Savings {USA}).
Improving Quality and Sourcing a Stallion... They complement the much bigger broodmare band of around
60 that Emirates Park has in Australia. Carlson said the strategy
was to continue improving their stock in both hemispheres.
"We try to upgrade that every year. The aim is to keep
upgrading, preferably from ones we breed ourselves but if we
find something at the sales we really like, we will buy it and add
that in as well," Carlson said.
Emirates Park has been quiet at the yearling and broodmare
sales so far in 2020, with just one purchase from the recent
Inglis Australian Broodmare Sale, the Street Cry (Ire) mare Set
The Limit.
It did however purchase a stallion in Tassort in conjunction
with Newgate, where the son of Brazen Beau will stand in 2020
for a first-season price of $11,000 (inc GST).
"We think Brazen Beau is doing a good job and it was a good
opportunity to work in with Newgate," Carlson said.
"Newgate has been telling us that he has been well-received.
We will plan to send around 15 or so of our mares to him. We
will work out which ones over the next month or so."
Searching for Black-Type... On the racetrack, Emirates Park continues to seek black type
with its better-bred fillies and this weekend will have Shuhood (I
Am Invincible) contest the G2 Magic Millions The Roses at
Doomben.
She is out of one of those Hazelwood-based mares in Shahad,
who had two foals in Australia before she headed overseas to
visit Galileo in 2017.
Trained by Gai Waterhouse and Adrian Bott, Shuhood has
required plenty of patience, but she put together back-to-back
wins at Canterbury and Hawkesbury in April and May before
finishing a close-up fourth in her first attempt at stakes company
in the Listed Pam O'Neill S. at Doomben last time out.
"She's been a funny filly. She has always shown something, but
it has taken until now to get her going," Carlson said.
"The distance is probably the question on Saturday. That's the
main thing. She is fit and ready to go.
The favourite (Vanna Girl) looks hard to beat, but the aim is to
get a bit of black type.
"We will re-assess after the race to see if she comes back as a
4-year-old, or she goes to stud."
Emirates Park has also spread its racing wings to Western
Australia and two weeks ago got its first-ever winner in the state
with the Simon Miller-trained Nuhad (Dream Ahead {USA}).
The 2-year-old filly was a dominant winner on debut and
fronts up for her second start on Saturday in the opening race,
where she is currently favourite.
"That's our plan no matter where our horses are running. To
try and find those good females from nice families and get those
wins and get that black-type," Carlson said.

NOT THIS TIME OFFSPRINGON TOP AGAIN AT OBS
by Christie DeBernardis & Jessica Martini
A filly by freshman sire Not This Time topped Wednesday=s
session of the Ocala Breeders Sales Company=s Spring Sale at
$1.35-million and the young Taylor Made stallion came out on
top once again Thursday with one of his son=s bringing the day=s
highest price of $700,000. Consigned by Randy Bradshaw, Hip
1283 was purchased by Donato Lanni on behalf of owner
Michael Lund Petersen. Like the toppers from the first two days,
Hip 1283 was originally slated for Fasig-Tipton=s Gulfstream Sale.
A[The market has] been very spotty,@ Bradshaw said. AIt=s been
that way for a long time, but even more so at this sale. We just
need to get the confidence back, get the stock market back and
all of that stuff. The horse business is going to be just fine. One
thing about horsepeople is that we are optimistic and if you give
us a shot, we=ll go out and buy a horse and keep it going.@
A total of 149 juveniles changed hands Thursday for gross
receipts of $10,748,500 compared to last year when 170 horses
brought $17,968,500. The average decreased from $105,697
last year to $72,138 this season and the median was also down
from $58,500 to $40,000.
AAnother day of trade, some nice horses sold and there are
some nice horses still left to sell,@ said OBS Director of Sales Tod
Wojciechowski. AYou can=t really compare it to last year because
we are in uncharted waters, but it has picked up a little each
day.@ Cont. p3
15 MONTHS IN THE MAKING, MORE
RESTRICTIVE WHIP RULES FINALLY PASS IN
CALIFORNIA by T. D. Thornton
After initially being deadlocked on a Thursday vote to put off
implementing anti-whipping regulations that have been
repeatedly delayed since first proposed in March 2019, the
California Horse Racing Board (CHRB) finally voted 4-2 to pass a
rule that will prohibit a jockey from striking a mount more than
six times during a race, and then only in an underhanded
position with no more than two strikes in succession using whips
that must meet new CHRB standards to soften the blows.
Representatives from the Jockeys' Guild, plus California riders
Mike Smith and Aaron Gryder, repeatedly advocated for the
board to wait at least one more month before voting on the rule
to allow more time for a proposed national whip standards rule
to come to fruition. Cont. p11

OBS Spring Sale cont. from p1 Over the first three days of selling, 452 juveniles have sold for
$39,550,000 with an average of $87,500 and a median of
$50,000. At the conclusion of the third session last term, 519 2-
year-olds had summoned $56,217,000 for an average of
$108,318 and a median of $65,000.
Bloodstock agent Steve Young has signed the ticket on four
juveniles thus far, including two colts Thursday. He said that
bidding was still competitive on the top horses.
AI think there is a lot of competition for the good-looking, quick
horses with good mechanics that pass the vet,@ said Young. AI
think that for the horses that are perceived to be a tick under
that, it gets dicey. It is the same way it=s been for a while. It
doesn=t mean the non-elite horses aren=t good horses. I think
when you like a horse and go up to the ring to buy it, there is
someone up there waiting for you.@
Tonja Terranova, wife of New York-based trainer John
Terranova, made just one purchase, but she made it count,
going to $425,000 for a son of Quality Road (Hip 628). She
expressed similar sentiments to other buyers earlier in the week
about the lack of a middle market.
AThe good horses have brought money,@ Terranova said. AThe
middle market is a little bit weaker right now, but you still have
to pay for the good horses. I think overall there are a lot of nice
horses. You have to step up to get the good ones.@
The final session of the four-day OBS Spring Sale is Friday,
starting at 10 a.m.
Not This Time on Top Again at OBS
Hot freshman sire Not This Time, represented by a $1.35-
million filly in Ocala Wednesday, had the top lot of Thursday=s
session when bloodstock agent Donato Lanni made a final bid of
TDN HEADLINE NEWS • PAGE 4 OF 19 • THETDN.COM FRIDAY • JUNE 12, 2020
Tonja Terranova | Photos by Z
$700,000 to acquire a colt (hip 1283) by the Taylor Made
stallion on behalf of Michael Lund Petersen. The bay juvenile will
be trained by Bob Baffert.
ABob decided at the last minute to come to the sale with [son]
Bode and his wife Jill and this was a horse that we both liked
very much,@ Lanni said. AHe jumped through all the hoops. The
hoops were high, as usual, but he did it all really well. He=s a nice
horse and hopefully we get lucky.@
Petersen has campaigned Grade I winner Mor Spirit
(Eskendereya) and graded winner Mucho Gusto (Mucho Macho
Man). He is currently represented on the racetrack by >TDN
Rising Star= Gamine (Into Mischief). All were purchased as 2-
year-olds by Lanni and trained by Baffert.
AHe=s a really good guy and he loves the game,@ Lanni said of
Petersen, who is a founder of Pandora Jewelry. AWe=ve had
some luck for the guy.@
Not This Time has already had two winners at the track and his
stock has continued rising at OBS this week. Also Thursday, he
had a filly bring $200,000 (hip 869) from Belladonna Racing.
AI never know what to expect--no one knows what to expect,
but I am glad to see that there is a freshman sire out there that
is throwing some precocious horses,@ Lanni said of Not This
Time=s success.
Hip 1283, who worked a furlong last week in :10 flat, was
consigned by Randy Bradshaw. He is out of Business Decision
(Put It Back) and his second dam is graded stakes winner In
Conference (Dayjur).
AWe=ve been waiting to sell this horse all day,@ Bradshaw said.
AWe knew he was special and we would probably get a good bit
of money for him. And everything worked out.@
Bradshaw purchased the bay colt for $200,000 at last year=s
Fasig-Tipton sale and his price tag Thursday matched the
$700,000 Bradshaw sold subsequent Baffert trainee and GI
Arkansas Derby winner Nadal (Blame) for at last year=s Fasig-
Tipton Gulfstream sale.
AHe was a big, athletic horse,@ Bradshaw said of hip 1283. AHe=s
probably 16.3 now, but for as big a horse as he is, he is as
athletic as a horse gets. He=s amazing. Like Nadal, same
purchase price, same trainer, so hopefully we will have the same
result.@
The colt sold in the Spring Sale=s supplemental section and had
originally been targeted for the Gulfstream sale.
AThank goodness he didn=t get any bigger,@ Bradshaw said of
the impact the delay had caused. AHe=s a bigger horse than I
generally buy. So was Nadal, so maybe I need to start buying
bigger horses. But he=s just a special horse. I=ve never been
around a horse that big who is that athletic.@
During Wednesday=s second session of the OBS sale, Bradshaw
sold a son of Empire Maker (hip 1258) for $700,000.
AWe had a great day today and we sold the Empire Maker
yesterday,@ Bradshaw said. AAnd we have a Speightster (hip
1306) we are selling tomorrow that we really like. So if we can
get a little lucky tomorrow, we are going to be golden.@

Quality Colt Headed to New York
A son of top sire Quality Road proved quite popular in Ocala
TDN HEADLINE NEWS • PAGE 5 OF 19 • THETDN.COM FRIDAY • JUNE 12, 2020
Thursday and he will head to New York after Tonja Terranova,
wife and right-hand to trainer John Terranova, signed the
$425,000 ticket. She was acting as agent for an undisclosed
client.
AWe knew we were not going to get him cheap for sure, being
a Quality Road with a nice page and good breeze,@ Terranova
said on her drive back to the airport to return to the Empire
State. AWe knew we were going to have to pay for him.@
Bred by Peter Blum Thoroughbreds, the colt, already named
Original, is out of the unraced Empire Maker mare
Unforgettable, a half-sister to GSWs Academy Award
(Secretariat), Statuette (Pancho Villa) and Good Mood (Devil=s
Bag). A $250,000 FTKOCT purchase by Marc Tacher, Hip 628
breezed in :21 1/5 for the de Merics.
AHe is a really well-balanced colt,@ Terranova said. AHe breezed
really nice on the synthetic and we saw videos of him breezing
on the dirt. I got here on Monday and just every day he was a
cool customer. He never turned a hair. He came out and walked
great every single day and went in the ring like a champ.@

Ramiro Restrepo | Coglianese
Another Marquee Year for Restrepo
It was always going to be hard for Ramiro Restrepo=s Marquee
Bloodstock to duplicate its right-out-of-gate pinhooking success
of 2019--which included the blockbuster sale of future Grade I
winner Structor (Palace Malice)--but the operation had another
profitable year capped by the sale of a filly by No Nay Never (hip
710) for $430,000 to Team Casse at OBS Thursday. Restrepo was
part of a partnership of American buyers who had purchased
the filly for $148,000 at Arqana in 2018.
AI was overseas doing Tatts and Deauville winter for the first
time last year,@ Restrepo, whose family involvement in racing
goes back five generations, explained. AI went on an exploratory
mission just to see the market. I was there with a couple of
other Americans, they are all sharp guys, they know the game
and we all got together to buy the filly.@
The original plan was to offer the filly as a yearling at the
American sales, but the team ultimately decided to give her
extra time and she was sent to Jim and Torrie Gladwell=s Top
Line Sales to prepare for the juvenile sales.
AIt wouldn=t have done her justice to sell her as a yearling,@
Restrepo said. AWe chose Jimbo and Torrie, who some of the
guys have had great luck with before. They are awesome
people. I went to the farm two or three times over the winter
and saw the progression of this filly and it was jaw dropping. It
was like go-go gadget. It was so awesome to see how they
brought her along. They did a monster job.@
Of Thursday=s result, Restrepo said, AThe group is thrilled. I give all the credit to my partnersBthey are great people, great friends. They are successful in this business and it was a cool result for all of us.@
Earlier in the week, Marquee Bloodstock sold a colt by Frosted (hip 96) for $185,000. The youngster was purchased with another partner for $80,000 at last year=s Keeneland September sale.
In partnership with Joe Pickerell of Pick View, Restrepo sold a Mineshaft colt (hip 54) for $150,000. He had been a $105,000 Fasig-Tipton July yearling. At OBS March, the partners sold an Outwork colt for $125,000. He had been a $65,000 Fasig-Tipton October purchase.
Restrepo, who also serves as Fasig-Tipton=s South Florida representative, had dabbled with pinhooks over the years before kicking off Marquee Bloodstock, a nod to his past life in the nightclub industry, last year. His first purchase under the new banner was a son of Palace Malice acquired for $160,000 at the 2018 Keeneland September sale. The colt resold to Mike Ryan at OBS last March for $850,000 and, named Structor, he went on to win the GI Breeders= Cup Juvenile Turf.
AYou have to give Joe all the credit,@ Restrepo said of Structor=s sale success. AThe way he brought him along to peak for the sale was just magical and to have him breeze in such a professional and awesome manner with a dynamite gallop out was so exciting.@
Restrepo continues, AAnd then, all of a sudden, you start seeing every famous big name bloodstock agent that=s had all this success and they are coming back to seem him over and over and over again. It validates all of the time that you put in looking for these yearlings when you are walking sales grounds for hours and hours trying to pick one out.@
As proud as he is of the sales ring success, Restrepo is clearly just as proud to see his sales graduates go on to success on the racetrack.
AI really want them to go on and become awesome race horses,@ he said. AWhen something you pick out goes on to win, that=s the Visa commercial. That=s priceless. That=s the validation as a horseman.@
Marquee sold four 2-year-olds this year, but Restrepo won=t confine himself to any structure going forward.
AI never say this is going to be the price point or the number,@ he said. AI do it by feel. You don=t want to buy just to buy. If you
TDN HEADLINE NEWS • PAGE 7 OF 19 • THETDN.COM FRIDAY • JUNE 12, 2020
Steve Young | Sarah Andrew
only buy two, that=s what you end up with. If you buy 10, you
buy 10. I don=t have a preconceived idea of how many we need
to buy every year. You want to buy the right ones.@
And throughout it all is the common theme of teamwork and
making the right connections.
AI=m a big believer in partnerships,@ Restrepo said. AJoe
Pickerell has been my rock through all of this. He is my main
consignor partner and partner in purchasing the horses with as
well. We cruise the sales grounds together and whenever there
is an interesting horse we kind of decide on the spot what kind
of split we might want to do.@
He added, ASurround yourself with the right people and it
shows you who you are. It=s so important to partner up with
people like Joe, Jimbo and Torrie. You need to combine forces in
this game because it=s so tough. This is such a hard game. There
is strength in numbers.@
Restrepo concluded, AIt=s been a really cool two-year run.
Hopefully these horses go on and do their thing.@
@JessMartiniTDN
Young Stays Busy at OBS
It was back to business as usual for Steve Young in Ocala this
week. The bloodstock agent kept himself quite busy, purchasing
four juveniles through the first three days of the OBS Spring
Sale.
The former trainer picked up his first juvenile during the
opening session, taking home a daughter of Street Boss (Hip
286) for $230,000. Bred by Calumet Farm, the :9 4/5 breezer
was purchased by Grassroots Training & Sales for $37,000 as a
KEESEP yearling. Her dam Pride of Place (A.P. Indy) is a full-sister
to MGISW Flashing, dam of SW & MGSP Floodlight (Medaglia
d=Oro).
AShe is a very strong Street Boss filly out of an A.P. Indy mare
TDN HEADLINE NEWS • PAGE 8 OF 19 • THETDN.COM FRIDAY • JUNE 12, 2020
from a good family,@ Young said. AHer dam is a full-sister to a
multiple Grade I winner in New York. She went :9 4/5 the right
way. We were lucky to get her and I think she can really run.@
On day two, Young went to $250,000 for a Quality Road colt
(Hip 575) from the Woodford Thoroughbreds consignment,
which is having a very good sale. This was the William
Humphries and Altair Farms-bred colt=s second time in the
Woodford consignment, having RNA=d for $225,000 at the Fasig-
Tipton Saratoga Yearling Sale last year. Breezing in :10 3/5, the
bay is a half to stakes-placed Fashion Runaway (Old Fashioned)
and Pronouncement (Declaration of War).
AHe is a very good Quality Road colt,@ Young said. AHe got a
slower than perfect run to the pole, breezing in :10 3/5 and he
re-broke after the wire. He is a very fit horse. I usually don=t buy
horses by time, but this horse is very fit and the time is not
indicative of his ability or his quickness. He is a very nice horse.@
Young snapped up two in quick succession Thursday, starting
with a $330,000 Empire Maker colt (hip 826), who breezed in
:10 1/5. Bred by Oussama Aboughazale=s International Equities
Holdings, the bay is out of a half-sister to MGSW & MGISP
Protonico (Giant=s Causeway). Gary Smith=s English Range Farm
purchased the colt for $85,000 at Keeneland September and he
was consigned by Envision Equine here.
AHe was a very good-moving, quick Empire Maker from a deep
Sumaya, South American family,@ Young said. AHe is out of a
half-sister to Protonico and the third dam was a Horse of the
Year in Chile [Wild Spirit (Chi)], who came to America for Bobby
Frankel. There is dirt and pace all through his page and he
showed that on the racetrack.@
Young was back at it just three hips later, securing a son of
More Than Ready (Hip 829) for $175,000. Bred and consigned
by Ocala Stud, the :21 1/5 breezer is a half to champion Musical
Romance (Concorde=s Tune), MSW & MGSP Forevamo (Uncle
Mo) and Vuelve Ruben M. (Concerto), a three-time champion in
Puerto Rico following his import from the U.S.
AOnce again, he was a horse that lit up the racetrack,@ Young
said. AHe is a 16-hand More Than Ready from a tick older mare,
but he does not look like an older mare=s foal. He is an awfully
well-bought horse at that price.@
Young was also connected to one of the top-priced hips on day
two, a $700,000 colt by Empire Maker (Hip 1258). The
horseman purchased the bay for an undisclosed client for
$275,000 at KEESEP. --@CDeBernardisTDN

McGreevy Strikes for Breeze Easy
Tom McGreevy joined the team at Mike Hall and Sam Ross=s
Breeze Easy last month and is scouting sales horses for the
operation for the first time this week in Ocala. Breeze Easy made
its biggest purchase of the Spring Sale when going to $430,000
to acquire a filly by Curlin (hip 847) from the de Meric Sales
consignment.
ARight now, the only thing we=ve done is put our hand up,@
McGreevy said laughingly. AYou=ll have to call me back next year
and we=ll know how we did.@
The filly is out of Canadian champion Catch the Thrill (A.P.
Indy) and is a half-sister to stakes placed Chic Thrill (Smart
Strike). Her second dam is Canadian champion Catch the Ring
(Seeking the Gold).
AShe is a typical, Classic two-turn filly,@ McGreevy said. AThis is
my first sale with Breeze Easy and that=s what they want. She
sure looks the part.@
McGreevy admitted the filly=s final price was no surprise to the
team.
AFor a Curlin who looks like that, you=ve got to expect a price
like that,@ he said.
The filly was bred by Sam-Son Farm and was purchased by de
Meric Sales for $180,000 at last year=s Keeneland September
sale.
Also this week, Breeze Easy purchased a filly by Midnight Lute
(hip 266) for $150,000 and a colt by Hard Spun (hip 380) for
$45,000.
AIt=s the same everywhere, I don=t care what the sale is and
what the economy is, the really good horses are going to sell
good,@ McGreevy said of the market. AThat=s not going to
change.@
While McGreevy scouts the horses back at the barns, Hall and
Ross are doing their bidding on the internet, an option offered
for the first time at the sale this year.
AThey are bidding on the internet,@ McGreevy explained. AThey
send me back to the barns to find the horses. That=s fine with
me.@ @JessMartiniTDN
A Pair of Fillies for Promenade
Bloodstock agent David Meah purchased a pair of fillies
destined for the Promenade Bloodstock Wednesday in Ocala,
although one of the juveniles never made it to the sales ring.
Meah was in the back ring to bid on hip 353, but couldn=t find
the daughter of American Pharoah.
AI was in the back ring looking for her, I saw 354, 355 and I
thought, >What happened here,@ Meah said with a laugh. AThey
TDN HEADLINE NEWS • PAGE 10 OF 19 • THETDN.COM FRIDAY • JUNE 12, 2020
SESSION TOPPERSdidn=t take her out of the sale until five minutes before. Literally
I found out in the back ring that the horse wasn=t coming in. But
I saw Nick de I Meric and we worked a deal out.@
The bay filly, who worked a furlong in :10 3/5 last week, is a
daughter of graded stakes winner Renee=s Titan (Bernstein), a
mare Meah knows well.
AI used to ride the mother for Doug O=Neill, Renee=s Titan, so I
knew the family and knew how tough and hardy that filly was,@
Meah explained. AWe liked that she looks like she could
potentially get two turns and she had a bit of a turfy look about
her, too. Which was kind of nice to see because obviously on the
dam=s side it=s all dirt.@
Meah was back in action later to acquire an Irish-bred
daughter of No Nay Never (hip 421) for $350,000 from the Top
Line Sales consignment. Out of stakes-placed Seeking Solace
(Exceed and Excel {Aus}), the filly is a full-sister to multiple
Group 1 winner Ten Sovereigns (Ire).
AWe loved her,@ Meah said of the filly. AShe is an absolute
queen. We were delighted to get her for that. We were
prepared to spend a little bit more, so we were very happy
when the hammer came down at $350,000.@
While Meah was bidding in the U.S., his English-based partner
in Meah/Lloyd Bloodstock, Jamie Lloyd, was coordinating with
his Promenade Bloodstock clients.
AThey are big clients of Jamie=s,@ Meah said of Promenade. AHe
has their mares, he foals them out. He does their breeding. He
does everything for them. I just do the bidding over here for
them.@
While both fillies were purchased to race, the long-term goal is
for them to part of Promenade=s broodmare band.
AThese guys want to race, but at the end of the day, if they can
win a Grade I, they are not selling them, they are going to breed
out of them,@ Meah said. AThey want to put a strong broodmare
band together. Their end game is to have good-pedigreed fillies
to race and then once they are done, they will be breeding
them.@
While Meah was adding to its potential broodmare band in
Florida, Promenade was enjoying a trip to the winner=s circle in
England as the 3-year-old filly Ascraeus (GB) (Poet=s Voice {GB})
broke her maiden for trainer Andrew Balding at
Wolverhampton.
Meah agreed there were plenty of opportunities to buy quality
at a discount this week in Ocala.
AI think there is a lot of value to be had here,@ he said.
AThankfully I have a great team who have been short-listing and
they have been here since the beginning of the breeze show.
We have lots of notes on all of the horses. There is definitely
value to be had if you are out there doing your homework.@

"If we're going to have some leadership in California, we need
to pass this rule and let the rest of the nation follow our lead,"
Ferraro said prior to the vote. "We're never going to please the
jocks. They don't want to do anything but keep the status quo.
We appreciate their argument. But it's not going to fly in the
face of the public demand that we quit hitting these horses."
Shane Gusman, an attorney representing the Jockeys' Guild,
testified prior to the vote that whipping guidelines based on
public perception would lead to on-track catastrophes and
would doom the sport in California.
"We're concerned that it's not going to work, and that there's
going to be real safety issues when a jockey is unable to perform
his or her job," Gusman said. "What will happen is you're going
to get an accident, and either a jockey is going to get hurt or a
horse is going to go down. And that is not what your intent is
here. I know that. But we're concerned that the way this rule is
crafted, that's what's going to happen.
"[The rule] is not based on what's best for the situation. It's
based on perception," Gusman said. "You're going to end racing
in California. It's just going to happen if you go down this road of
trying to regulate perception rather than reality."
In addition to the above-mentioned restrictions, the newly
amended version of CHRB Rule 1688 will also prohibit the use of
the riding crop during morning training and after the finish of
races.
According to the CHRB meeting information packet, the
correct uses of the riding crop will now include "showing or
waving the crop without touching the horse...and tapping the
horse on the shoulder with the crop in the down position."
The new rule will also establish "a maximum fine of $1,000 and
minimum suspension of three days for riding in a manner
contrary to the rule."
There will be no penalty if the stewards determine that the
use of the riding crop was "necessary for the safety of the horse
or rider."
Terence Meyocks, the president and chief executive officer of
the Jockeys' Guild, noted that work is progressing in other
jurisdictions, particularly among a coalition of mid-Atlantic
region tracks, to come up with a standardized version of
whipping rules that have been crafted with the input of riders in
mind. He explained that he would like to see California on board
with any proposed rule that might result from those multi-party
discussions in the next few weeks.
"The Jockeys' Guild and riders today need a national rule,"
Meyocks said. "I think we're so much closer to a national rule in
the United States, and I think that this is our best chance.... It's
the Guild's request at this time to ask for an extension of no
more than four to six weeks to see if we can reach an
agreement on the riding crop in the United States."
But Scott Chaney, the CHRB's new executive director, told
commissioners before the vote that he didn't buy that line of
reasoning.
"This idea about a national standard is not a 'thing.' It just
doesn't exist," Chaney said. "I guess maybe we're talking about
some agreement between the Jockeys' Guild and the safety
coalition. But that's not a national standard. That's just an idea
that a sub-group of the country has. It would require every
other state to pass a rule, which just is not going to happen."
Prior to passing the new rule, the CHRB first voted unanimously
to codify the standards that mandate a more humanely
constructed riding crop.
Initially, the standards were designed to incorporate the
specifications for the 360 Gentle Touch riding crop, which is the
design manufactured by retired Hall-of-Fame jockey Ramon
Dominguez. But the version passed on Thursday was rewritten
to just outline the specifics of the whip a jockey can carry. It
does not mandate that riders use a whip made by any specific
manufacturer.
After passing that measure, the CHRB took up the in-race
whipping rule itself, which turned out to be much more
complicated.
After hearing lengthy and often repetitive testimony from the
jockeys and the Guild about the need to wait a bit more, several
commissioners seemed inclined to do just that.
Commissioner Alex Solis, a retired Hall-of-Fame jockey, made
the motion to table voting on the new anti-whipping rule until
the July CHRB meeting. But the six commissioners deadlocked
on this motion, with commissioners Solis, Dennis Alfieri, and
Oscar Gonzales voting to wait another month, while
commissioners Ferraro, Wendy Mitchell, and Damascus
Castellanos voted not to table the agenda item.

Ferraro then wanted to move the question to approve the
anti-whipping measure as written. But the board had to pause
the meeting to research state law, because nobody on the
conference call immediately knew if another tie would mean the
long-debated rule would be dead on the spot, or if it could be
resurrected again at some point in the future.
After a delay while the CHRB addressed another agenda item,
legal staffers came back with the verdict that if the board
deadlocked on passing the whip reform rules they had worked
on since early 2019, the motion would be dead.
With the gravity of that potential outcome in mind, the
question was moved to approve the anti-whipping rule. It
passed, 4-2, with Solis and Alfieri holding out as the "no" votes.
Now that the new whipping rules have been passed, the CHRB
must submit the proper paperwork to the state Office of
Administrative Law, which will review the technical details,
possibly in time for an effective date of Oct. 1.
PENNSYLVANIA SHUTDOWN LIFTED, PARX
TO REOPEN JUNE 22by Bill Finley
The Pennsylvania Department of Health has given permission
for the state's Thoroughbred and Standardbred tracks to resume
racing.
According to Pennsylvania Thoroughbred Horsemen's
Association President Sal DeBunda, Parx will resume racing June
22. Todd Mostoller, who heads the horsemen's groups at Penn
National and Presque Isle Downs, said he hopes that Penn
National will start racing again June 19. He said it would take
longer to start racing at Presque Isle Downs because there are
not any horses currently stabled there.
"We had hoped to open earlier, but, because of the protocols
that will be in place, people need to be retrained and they have
to buy some new equipment," DeBunda said. "So, it was
impossible to open next week."
Even though the Pennsylvania tracks will be among the last to
reopen after being closed due to the coronavirus, the situation
could have been worse. Last month, Governor Tom Wolf said
that the tracks would not be allowed to race until the counties in
which they are located moved on to the "green phase," which
was when restrictions would be lifted on all businesses in the
state. Bucks County, home to Parx, and Dauphin County, home
to Penn National, are both "yellow" counties. Wolf also caused
problems for the racing and breeding industries when
announcing a budget plan in which he proposed to take $204
million in slots revenues away from racing and use the money
for college scholarships.
DeBunda said the state is still taking the threat of the
coronavirus seriously and that horsemen and backstretch
workers will need to be extra careful.
"The people on the backstretch are going to have to do what
they are supposed to do," he said. "Safety inspectors will be
making rounds and if they see people not following the
protocols they will be reporting it and that could cause them to
shut us down again. It's not like we are open, everything is in the
clear and people can do whatever they want."
For trainers like Butch Reid, the news that the Parx would soon
be running again couldn't have been more welcome.
"Finally. It's been a long time coming," Reid said. "The owners
have been writing checks and they have been really patient. It
starts to wear thin after a while. It's great to see something on
the horizon. We are ready to go. The horses are all trained up
and the track is in great shape."
Pennsylvania Equine Coalition Executive Director Pete
Peterson said that the key to getting the tracks to reopen was to
educate the Wolf administration.
"We had representatives sit down with the Wolf
administration and the Pennsylvania Department of Health and
explained how there were already people at these tracks on the
backside working with the horses and you actually needed
fewer people to run in the afternoon," he said. "It was an
educational process, making them aware this could be done
safely and in compliance with the CDC guidelines.The Wolf
administration was eager to make this work and get us back up
and running."
The first track to reopen in the state will be the Meadows
harness track, which will race Monday.

MGG CLAIM TO SOLOMINI, OTHERS,
THROWN OUT by Sue Finley
Judge Kimberly Bunnell has dismissed the New York-based
lending firm MGG=s attempt to place a lien on the stud fees and
progeny of Solomini, to claim nine breeding rights to American
Pharoah and the broodmare American Cleopatra, according to
Gregory Parsons of States & Harbison, who represented the
owners of Solomini in MGG=s suit.
The ruling was issued June 10 in Fayette, Kentucky Circuit
Court.
Solomini stands at McMahon of Saratoga Thoroughbreds,
where he has bred 127 mares in his initial season at stud.
In January, MGG filed a $23-million lawsuit against Ahmed
Zayat and his financially troubled Zayat Stables.
AThis has been a real headache,@ said Raymond DeStefano, one
of the owners of Solomini. AWe were concerned that with this
cloud hanging over him, we would be lucky to have gotten 60
mares. We ended up with 127 mares as of Saturday, but it still
cost him. I know quite a few people who wanted to breed to
him, including one breeder with three mares, and he said, `I just
couldn=t take a chance.= This was supposed to be over in April
but because of the virus, it was postponed.@
Ahmed Zayat raced Solomini, a four-time GradeI stakes-placed
son of Curlin, and Coolmore Stud bought into the colt. He is now
owned by McMahon, Hidden Lake Farm, DeStefano, Coolmore
and shareholders, having been syndicated when he went to
stud.
AMcMahon, Hidden Lake and I bought into him in December,@
said DeStefano, Aand then this bombshell hit. Coolmore stayed
in for a piece because they liked him so much. We syndicated
him, selling 25 shares, but after this situation, people backed
away, and we ended up only selling 17 or 18.@
DeStefano said that the opportunity cost was hard to swallow.
AThere were a few people who I knew who were going to buy
shares, and didn=t, and others backed out,@ he said. AThat
worked out fine because now we own more of him, and realize
just how popular he is, even under this circumstances. But the
seasons are lost forever. I think he could have bred at least 140
mares. He=s very popular. He=s a Curlin. He bred many stakes-
winning and stakes-producing mares, and mares by Tapit,
Bernardini, etc.Bhuge numbers and an incredible quality of
mares. I would safely say that there=s never been a better book
of mares to a first-year stallion in New York.@
MGG was seeking a lien on any stud fees and the people who
bred to Solomini were Aat risk@ that they wouldn=t be able to
register their foals, DeStefano said. DeStefano and Lou Salerno
were involved in the early success of Belong To Me, who ended
up at Lane=s End Farm after his first three seasons in New York.
Parsons said that Burrell ruled that MGG did not have a valid
claim due to the clear title provisions in the Federal Food
Security Act of 1985, which provides that a purchaser of farm
products takes free of a security interest unless the secured
party has observed certain conditions. Specifically, MGG in this
case would have had to provide notice to the buyer. This notice
comes with specific formal requirements. The second provision
is if the lender has filed what is called an Aeffective financing
statement@ in a Acentral filing@ system certified by the USDA. If
the lender complied with these, filing an effective financing
statement in a central filing system certified by the USDA, the
horses would be sold with the security attached. This system has
been enacted in 13 states. Kentucky is not one of them.
AShe ruled that the Food Security Act applies to these
transactions and because of that, all of these buyers purchased
these assets free and clear of their security interests,@ said
Parsons. AWhen MGG sued McMahon Thoroughbreds, they
were asking the court that the stallion be returned to MGG, the
plaintiff and the lender. And they asked the court to establish a
trust for the proceeds of the stallion. Both of those claims were
based on there being a valid security interest. The judge clearly
followed the law and ruled there was no interest. It was a very
solid ruling based on a clear interpretation.@
The judge also ruled that MGG=s motion for summary
judgment against Zayat Stables on breach of contract was
granted, and that judgment was entered in favor of MGG
against Zayat Stables in the amount of $24,534,166.13, but
added, AMGG, however, shall not take any further action at this
time to collect or enforce this Judgment as it is not final and
appealable.@

IF WE OPEN IT, WILL THEY COME?
by Diana Pikulski
The scope and pace of how the COVID-19 pandemic has
affected daily life, the national economy, and by extension, the
Thoroughbred racing business, is dizzying. For so many, the
hardest aspect of the pandemic-induced crisis is the uncertainty
about if and when things will go back to the old normal. The
pandemic is like nothing we have experienced before and
therefore, we have no models on which to rely. With the
delayed opening of most racetracks, and with others having no
opening day in sight, many people are asking if owners and
trainers who are struggling financially are able to maintain
horses that are not earning money. A May 1 article in The
Boston Globe ran with the headline, "Closed racetracks are
leaving many Thoroughbreds with nowhere to go."
This raised the concern of board members at the Secretariat
Center, which is located in the Kentucky Horse Park. They chose
to take action and be prepared with a positive response to the
question of whether racehorses in need would have a place to
go if their owners could not afford to care for them. The We Are
Here Initiative is a partnership between the Secretariat Center
and the Kentucky Horse Park. The newly formed non-profit is
accepting racehorses whose future careers in racing are not
viable due to circumstances brought on or hastened by the
TDN HEADLINE NEWS • PAGE 16 OF 19 • THETDN.COM FRIDAY • JUNE 12, 2020
Coady
COVID-19 economic crisis. No donation to surrender will be
required.
"I've seen the industry go through tough times over the years
but this is a unique situation. There are people in the business
who are having trouble making ends meet and for whom
holding on to horses that will not likely be competitive again
may be too much of a burden," said Secretariat Center President
Dorothy Crowell, who spearheaded the new effort. "We created
the We Are Here Initiative because we want to make the right
decision easy."
We Are Here, with the help of commercial van companies, will
provide transportation to the Kentucky Horse Park where stalls
and paddocks await. The Kentucky Horse Park has made
available its many empty showing barns for the surrendered
horses. With help from donors such Hallway Feeds, Rood &
Riddle Equine Hospital, Park Equine, Hagyard Equine Medical
Institute and Big Dee's, the group will evaluate the horses and
care for them until a spot opens up with a Thoroughbred
Aftercare Alliance accredited aftercare organization.
To facilitate easy surrender of the horses, a hotline has been
established. Thoroughbred owners and trainers needing to
rehome their horses can contact the We Are Here hotline at
833-924-6882 (833-WAH-OTTB), which will provide information
regarding the initial steps to be taken. Horses must be registered
Thoroughbreds trained by a licensed trainer in the United
States. Eligible horses much be located at a U.S. licensed
racetrack or training facility, or verified to be eligible for the
2020 racing season; and horses will need a current Coggins and
health certificate.
"When I got the call from Dorothy, I knew it was something
with which I had to help," said Louise Riggio, horse owner and
former Secretariat Center board member. "We cannot leave any
doubt about the fact that the industry is prepared and ready to
care for any racehorse that needs us because of the pandemic."
Eric Hamelback, Executive Director of We Are Here Initiative and
CEO of The National Horsemen's Benevolent and Protective
Association (HBPA), said, "Horsemen and horsewomen are
inherently resilient and supportive of each other in tough times.
We all believe our industry will survive the crisis we are
currently under, but we recognize these are threatening times in
horse racing, not only financially, but in other ways that affect
our day to day lives. Most importantly, through this initiative we
hope all horsemen and horsewomen know and understand, We
Are Here is there to support them. It is our hope that industry
participants on all levels will donate to the care of these horses
to the best of their ability."

your care, please visit www.wahi.info. To contact the We Are
Here Hotline, please dial 833-WAH-OTTB (833-924-6882).

TEXAS CHAMPIONS TO BE HONORED The 2019 Texas Champion horses and horsemen, which
normally would have been honored during the Texas
Thoroughbred Association's annual meeting and awards
banquet, will instead be showcased online with a video
presentation highlighting their achievements. Due to the
COVID-19 pandemic, the TTA's annual event in March was
postponed.
"We still hope to get our members and award winners
together for an event later this year, but due to the uncertainty
of whether that will happen we decided to put our awards video
online to honor all the winners," said Mary Ruyle, executive
director of the TTA. "We invite TTA members and all horsemen,
horsewomen and racing fans to join us on our Facebook page
(facebook.com/TexasThoroughbredAssociation) on Sunday, June
14 at 5 p.m. Central to watch the premiere of the video, and it
will be available for replay after that."
The equine award winners, topped by Texas Horse of the Year
Mr Money Bags, were announced in January, but the human
award winners are not normally revealed until the awards
banquet.
The human award winners for 2019 are three of the most
accomplished horsemen in the Lone Star State. There are two
recipients of the Allen Bogan Memorial Award, named for the
longtime Texas turf writer and formerly known as the TTA
Member of the Year.
Noted veterinarian Charles W. Graham earned his second
Allen Bogan Award for his efforts to help pass House Bill 2463,
which injects up to $25 million annually into the Texas horse
industry.
" " "
The co-winner of this year's Bogan Award is longtime industry
executive Jeff Hooper. Over a span of decades working in Texas,
Hooper has held top positions at the TTA, National Cutting Horse
Association and Lone Star Park at Grand Prairie.
The T.I. "Pops" Harkins Award for lifetime achievement goes to
native Texan Bret Calhoun. Perennially among the leading
trainers both in Texas and nationally, Calhoun has trained two
Breeders' Cup winners, and more than 3,100 winners with
earnings of nearly $85 million.

EXPENSIVE TAPIT FILLY ROLLS TO RISING
STARDOM AT CHURCHILL
Thoughtfully (Tapit), a $950,000 purchase by Heider Family
Stables last summer at Fasig-Tipton Saratoga, was bet down to
odds-on debuting Thursday at Churchill and ran to the money
with a dominant score to become the latest >TDN Rising Star=.
Showing a quintet of works at Keeneland for trainer Steve
Asmussen capped by a half-mile gate breeze in :47 1/5 (3/29)
June 2, the dark bay was backed at 7-10 and led early before
deferring to sit third. Inching closer past a :22.65 quarter, she
drew on even terms at the top of the lane and took charge soon
after straightening. Given mild encouragement by Ricardo
Santana, Jr., she poured it on in the final furlong and powered
past the wire 8 3/4 lengths to the good of Prodigy Doll (Shanghai
Bobby). The winner is a half to Annual Report (Harlan=s Holiday),
GSW, $186,587; Giant Payday (Giant=s Causeway), MSW,
$331,299; and Flores Island (Giant's Causeway), MSP, $244,070.
Her second dam is GISW Furlough (Easy Goer), a half-sister to
MGISW Dancing Spree (Nijinsky II), GISW Fantastic Find (Mr.
Prospector)--who produced MGISW Finder=s Fee (Storm Cat)--
and Oh What a Dance (Nijinsky II), dam of champion Heavenly

half-brother to sire Maclean=s Music (Distorted Humor), he of
the 114 Beyer in his only career outing, and GSWs Kentuckian
(Tiznow) and Electric Forest (Curlin). A $250,000 KEESEP buy, he

EXAGGERATOR GETS FIRST WINNER AT
GOLDEN GATE Xtrema (Exaggerator) rallied to a convincing first-out score to
give her freshman sire (by Curlin) his first winner while going out
for the same connections that campaigned the 2016 GI
Preakness S. hero. Breaking as the 21-10 second choice in a five-
horse group, the $55,000 KEESEP grad tracked a speed duel from
a distant third through a sharp :21.75 quarter. Appearing one-
paced on the turn, the chestnut came alive entering the final
furlong and blew past the tiring pace actors outside the
sixteenth pole to score by four lengths over longshot Silver Lyric
(Northern Causeway). The victress has a yearling half-sister by
Hard Spun.

Moretti, a late-blooming $900,000 Fasig-Tipton Saratoga buy,
showed a new dimension and went wire to wire to take the
11-furlong Flat Out S. Thursday at Belmont.
Graduating second out going nine furlongs at Aqueduct, the
bay was sixth in the GIII Withers S. and failed to find the
winner=s circle in his next four tries before rallying to an
allowance success last out May 2 at Oaklawn. Made the distant
second choice here behind GI Belmont S. hero Sir Winston,
Moretti was hustled away by Javier Castellano and dictated
terms through measured fractions of :24.79, :48.97 and 1:13.61.
Sir Winston started to wind up three furlongs from home, but
Moretti was under chilly handling from Castellano and had more
than enough once set down to stay clear down to the line. Sir
Winston dug in for second in a photo with Expert.

AHe's always been a steady galloper and he seems like he's
come around in his last couple of starts,@ said winning trainer
Todd Pletcher, who added that a start in the GII Suburban S.
July 4 is likely next for Moretti. AHe's really found himself and
seems like he's improving, which is really what we expected all
along. The older he got, the better he would get ... When Javier
and I spoke in the paddock, we talked about how he might be
the speed of the race. I said just to let him run into the first turn
and if he found himself comfortably on the lead, that's great,
and if someone else is ambitious, not to get into a pace duel.
When he got into that rhythm, it looked like he was traveling
really well.@ Click for the Equibase.com chart or VIDEO,
