KEENELAND 'LIFE'S WORK'ORAL HISTORY PROJECT,

NO. 2: JOHN PHILLIPS

by Chris McGrath

TDN is proud to partner with the Keeneland Library and the

Nunn Center for Oral History at the University of Kentucky

Libraries in a very special new collaboration: the Keeneland

>Life=s Work= Oral History Project, a series of filmed interviews by

TDN columnist Chris McGrath with significant figures in the

Thoroughbred industry. The second of these, with John Phillips of

Darby Dan Farm, appears here.

His grandfather's greatest achievements, on the Turf, were all

about looking outward; about opening minds and dismantling

boundaries. Listening to John Phillips, however, you realize that

the impetus for the whole adventure--for the mutual

enlightenment, either side of the ocean, achieved by sending

Roberto and Ribot in opposite directions--could not have been

more definitively American.

Because as Phillips says himself, the story of John Galbreath

might have been written by Horatio Alger. A kid raised in a large,

poor family in the Ohio back country, whose dynamism and

imagination generated a fortune from the steepling

transformations of postwar real estate. Cont. p3

EIGHT RINGS LOOKS TO MAKE AMENDS IN

AMERICAN PHAROAH by Christie DeBernardis >TDN Rising Star= Eight Rings (Empire Maker) was heavily

favored in the GI Del Mar Futurity Sept. 2, but ducked in shortly

after the break, dumping jockey Drayden Van Dyke and bumping

into Storm the Court (Court Vision), causing him to lose his rider

as well. Adding blinkers this time around, the Bob Baffert pupil

looks to make amends Friday in the GI American Pharoah S. at

Santa Anita, which grants the winner a spot in the gate for the

GI Breeders= Cup Juvenile. Prior to that incident last time, the

$520,000 KEESEP purchase romped by 6 1/4 lengths in his

Aug. 4 unveiling at Del Mar. Storm the Court, a debut winner in

SoCal Aug. 10, also returns in this spot.

Del Mar Futurity winner Nucky (Ghostzapper) will see if he can

take down Eight Rings this time as he looks to double up. Prior

to his top-level score earlier this month, the dark bay earned his

diploma by 10 1/2 lengths at fourth asking while in for a

$100,000 tag at Del Mar Aug. 21. Cont. p4

TDN HEADLINE NEWS • PAGE 3 OF 11 • THETDN.COM FRIDAY • SEPTEMBER 27, 2019

Keeneland >Life=s Work= Oral History Project(cont. from p1)

Happily, as it is, the man charged with sustaining Galbreath's

legacy at the storied Darby Dan Farm proves no mean Alger

himself, as reflective as he is eloquent.

"Grandfather was very proud of being an American," explains

Phillips. "That notion of rugged individualism. And if you studied

his family--his uncles, his father's father, and the likeY classic

Americans going all over the country making fortunes, losing

fortunes, [with] a very entrepreneurial, 'go for it' attitude. He

was never afraid of failure. Some things did fail for him, but he

never looked back."

Sure enough, Galbreath was equally at home with all ranks of

society, from farmers in their fields to the boardroom. And it

was his faith in American values that prompted him to hire

Branch Rickey--the man who brought Jackie Robinson to Major

League Baseball--to run his Pittsburgh Pirates.

"He felt that the United States needs to be a meritocracy in

everything we do, including sports," Phillips explains. "So

although Branch Rickey was past his prime, it did set the tone

for the Pittsburgh Pirates. And they ended up recruiting a lot of

minority players with tremendous talent."

One of these, in the rookie draft of 1954, was an African

American from Puerto Rico with very little English: Roberto

Clemente. Through the turbulent years of the Civil Rights

movement, Clemente's Hall of Fame career became a powerful

symbol for Galbreath.

"The relationship really took a decade to develop, because

there was a huge cultural gap between a farmer in Ohio and

somebody raised in Puerto Rico," Phillips recalls. "Nonetheless

Roberto Clemente became a close friend. He was a very

sensitive, very committed human being."

In 1970, Galbreath decided to name the most athletic of his

yearlings, a Hail to Reason colt, for Clemente; and it was the

equine Roberto that farm manager Olin Gentry picked out as

most eligible to be sent, on a pioneering mission, to Vincent

O'Brien in Ireland.

"And off he went, with a ridiculous notion that some American

could just pick out one horse, go off to Europe, and actually win

the English Derby," says Phillips. "But that was Grandfather."

Eight Rings Looks to Make Amends in

American Pharoah (cont. from p1) Futurity third-place finisher Defense Wins (Flatter), who is still

a maiden, seeks his diploma in Friday=s GI American Pharoah S.

Also exiting the Futurity is fifth-place finisher Fore Left (Twirling

Candy), who captured Belmont=s Tremont S. June 7.

Steve Asmussen ships >TDN Rising Star= Shoplifted (Into Mischief)

in from the East Coast for this one. An impressive winner at first

asking at Saratoga July 27, the $800,000 FTFMAR buy split his

stablemates when second in the Spa=s GI Hopeful S. Sept. 2.

Undefeated Collusion Illusion (Twirling Candy) makes his first

top-level attempt here. Opening his account with a half-length

success over Defense Wins at Del Mar July 21, the bay followed

suit with a win in the GII Best Pal S. there Aug. 10.

Express Train (Union Rags) looks like he could be any kind as

he steps up from the maiden ranks here. Runner-up to Eight

Rings in their mutual 5 1/2-panel debut Aug. 4, the $500,000

out going a mile at Del Mar Aug. 28.

American Theorem (American Pharoah) is another making a

big class jump here after winning his career bow at Del Mar

Bast | Benoit

BAST SEEKS SECOND GRADE I IN CHANDELIERby Christie DeBernardis

Baoma Corp=s Bast (Uncle Mo) broke her maiden in style last

time in the GI Del Mar Debutante S. Aug. 31 and she looks to

make it two in a row Friday at Santa Anita in the GI Chandelier

S., a AWin and You=re In@ event for the GI Breeders= Cup Juvenile

Fillies. Second on debut behind $850,000 OBSMAR buy

Inspiressa (The Big Beast) going 5 1/2 panels at Del Mar Aug. 11,

the $500,000 FTSAUG buy proved second time=s a charm with

an 8 3/4-length demolition of the Del Mar Debutante. Inspiressa

was second that day and GIII Schuylerville S. heroine Comical

(Into Mischief), who also returns here, was third.

Comical=s trainer Doug O=Neill will saddle a second runner in

this test in Buyer=s Remorse (Liam=s Map), who was run down

late and forced to settle for second in her Del Mar unveiling

Aug. 18.

KMN Racing=s Been Studying Her (Fast Anna) puts her

unbeaten record on the line here. A debut winner at

Sacramento July 20, she captured the Generous Portion S. at Del

Mar Aug. 28.

K P Dreamin (Union Rags) enters off a second-out graduation

at Del Mar Aug. 29. Rounding out the field is Leucothea

(Mishipman), who won by 14 1/2 lengths at second asking in a

$62,500 maiden claiming event at Del Mar Aug. 15 and was a

well-beaten eighth in the Debutante.

GOLDENCENTS COLT TOPS FASIG-TIPTON

CALIFORNIA SALE by Jessica Martini & Dan Ross A colt by two-time GI Breeders= Cup Dirt Mile winner

Goldencents topped Thursday=s inaugural Fasig-Tipton California

Fall Yearlings Sale in Pomona, bringing a final bid of $150,000

from Steve Gasparelli=s Slugo Racing. The yearling was one of six

to sell for six figures during the one-session auction. In all, 137

yearlings sold for $3,667,800. The sale average was $26,772 and

the median was $13,000.

The Fall Yearling Sale was the second Fasig-Tipton auction of

the year in California, following June=s Santa Anita 2-Year-Olds in

Training Sale, as the sales company takes up the baton from the

now-defunct Barretts.

AAll in all, it was a successful effort and something to build

upon,@ Fasig-Tipton President Boyd Browning, Jr. said at the

close of business Thursday. AI think what we saw today is that

there is a viable marketplace and that there was significant

interest in a large number of offerings. I think it should give

breeders confidence that, if they have a quality yearling, there

will be a legitimate marketplace for them.@

Of the 285 catalogued yearlings, 255 went through the ring

with 118 failing to meet their reserves for a buy-back rate of

46.3%.

AI think we also saw that the market in California is somewhat

similar to what it is in Kentucky, New York, Maryland, Ireland,

England, and Australia,@ Browning said. AThere is some

polarization and there is certainly more demand for what is

perceived to be quality and the lower end of the market is

generally difficult. That was no different here today than what

we=ve seen in other marketplaces.@

Goldencents Colt to Slugo Racing Steve Gasparelli=s Slugo Racing struck early in Thursday=s

California Fall Yearlings Sale, going to $150,000 to acquire a colt

by Goldencents. Gasparelli signed for the colt (hip 25) while

sitting alongside trainer Mike Puype, who conditions the

yearling=s once-raced half-brother Audace (Ministers Wild Cat).

AHe=s a beautiful horse,@ Puype said of the yearling. AHe=s very

athletic. Audace ran fifth at Del Mar--I didn=t have him quite

ready for that race, but he=s got a nice future ahead of him. He=s

still learning the game.@

The chestnut, bred by Thomas Bachman and consigned by his

Fairview LLC, is out of Bold Roberta (Bold Badgett). He is a half

to multiple stakes winner Bella Luma (Ministers Wild Cat).

Gasparelli campaigned Grade III winner Estrechada (Arg)

(Offlee Wild) and enjoyed pinhooking success at the Fasig-Tipton

Gulfstream Sale earlier this year. He and partner Paymaster

Racing sold a filly by Into Mischief for $1.5 million. The

youngster had been a $450,000 Keeneland September yearling.

Gasparelli admitted hip 25's final price tag Thursday was less

than he had expected.

AI actually thought it might go a bit more,@ Gasparelli said.

AHe=s a beautiful, athletic horse who vetted well. And we really

like Goldencents.@

Gasparelli was back in action later in the sale, purchasing a filly

by Grazen (hip 47) for $72,000.

Bachman acquired Bold Roberta, in foal to Fusaichi Pegasus,

for $20,000 at the 2011 Barretts January sale. The sale-topping

yearling is the mare=s final foal.

AHe=s a wonderful colt,@ Bachman said of the yearling. AI own

the mare in a partnership, the same partnership that owns the

half-sister Bella Luma, who we are going to keep as a broodmare.

This is the mare=s last foal and he=s just a wonderful individual.

He=s very athletic. I think they are going to have fun with him.@

Bachman bred and consigned four of the auction=s five six-

figure offerings.

APeople know I=m a market breeder and they know how I raise

horses,@ Bachman said. AI think they have confidence in what I

raise. I am fairly reasonable about what I think they are worth

and I try to get them sold. I try to go home with an empty truck.@

Hard Spun Colt to Bonde Trainer Jeff Bonde made the second highest bid of the night at

Fairplex Thursday, going to $135,000 to acquire a colt by Hard

Spun from the Havens Bloodstock Agency consignment. The

yearling (hip 173) is out of Pamona Ball (Pleasantly Perfect), a

half-sister to Group 1 placed Snowy Winter (Elusive Quality) and

multiple graded placed Pamina (Street Cry {Ire}).

AI just thought he was a great walker,@ Bonde said of the colt

he purchased on behalf of a partnership. AI buy athletes and he

was an athlete.@

The youngster was bred by Premier Thoroughbreds, which

purchased Pamona Ball with him in utero for $32,000 at the

2017 Keeneland November sale.

Eclipse Scores for the Home Team Based in California, Aron Wellman of Eclipse Thoroughbred

Partners admitted it was important for his group to support the

inaugural Fasig-Tipton California Fall Yearlings Sale and he got

into the fray Thursday, spending $115,000 to acquire a colt by

Sky Mesa from Thomas Bachman=s Fairview consignment.

AFirst and foremost, I thought it was really important to come

out here and support this sale,@ Wellman said after signing the

ticket on hip 143 while standing alongside trainer Michael

McCarthy. AI give Fasig-Tipton a lot of credit for jumping into the

shoes of Barretts. Our state needs all the support we can get

right now and it=s a really good sign that Fasig has stepped into

those shoes. Here in California, we couldn=t have asked for

anybody better than [Fasig-Tipton President] Boyd [Browning]

and his whole team to come in here and do the job that needs

to get done. They put on a good show here.@

Out of Mary Coughlan (Gulch), hip 143 is a half-brother to

multiple stakes winner Outside Nashville (Broken Vow) and

stakes-placed Bluegrass Derby (Bluegrass Cat). He was bred by

Bachman, who purchased the mare with this foal in utero for

$90,000 at the 2017 Keeneland November sale.

AThis was a Grade I physical,@ Wellman said of the yearling.

AHe=s by a Kentucky sire and he=s a Cal-bred. As far as what we

were looking to accomplish, trying to buy something out of this

sale, he fit the bill and he=s the complete package. He=s a

beautiful colt by a proven sire. I haven=t seen too many Sky

Mesa Cal-breds around here. Hopefully he will tower above his

competition, but, as always, time will tell.@

The colt will be trained by McCarthy.

AThis is a boutique sale, so you hone in on your really top

prospects and this horse was a standout physically and a

standout on paper for us,@ McCarthy said. AHopefully around this

time next year, we=ll be getting interviewed for the right reasons.@

Pinhookers Active at Fairplex Pinhookers, busy shopping at the Fairplex barns over the last

two days, were also active on the results sheets Thursday.

Leading the way was Ciaran Dunne, who purchased a colt by

Into Mischief for $110,000 in the name of Scioto Bloodstock.

AHe=s by a top sire and from a great family,@ Dunne said. AWe=ll

roll the dice and see what happens next year.@

Out of North Freeway (Jump Start), the bay is a half-brother to

multiple stakes winner and Grade I placed Take the One O One

(Acclamation). His juvenile half-brother Square Deal (Square

Eddie) is a two-time stakes winner for Arnold Zetcher and Qatar

Racing and trainer Simon Callaghan.

AWe had his half-brother Square Deal last year,@ Dunne said.

AHe was a very honest, straightforward horse. So we know the

family.@

Asked if the colt might be targeted at the Fasig-Tipton Santa

Anita 2-Year-Olds in Training Sale next spring, Dunne said,

AGiven he=s not a Cal-bred, we will probably keep him in Florida.

But never say never.@

Dunne also signed for a filly by Majesticperfection (hip 269) for

$70,000; and a filly by Square Eddie (hip 172) for $17,000.

Ocala-based Eddie Woods signed for three yearlings in the

name of his Quarter Pole Enterprises, LLC, going to $85,000 for a

son of Fast Anna (hip 100); $65,000 for a colt by Competitive

Edge (hip 85); and $35,000 for a colt by Liam=s Map (hip 245).

Hip 100 is out of Insolvent (Big Brown), a half-sister to

Girlfrienontheside (Indian Charlie).

AHe=s a good-moving, strong colt by a horse who looks like he=s

going to be a proper stallion,@ Woods said of the yearling. AHe

vetted well and he=s a nice, correct horse. He acted with a lot of

class here.@

Woods was one of many Florida pinhookers to skip the

inaugural Santa Anita sale this past June and, while these two

yearlings are destined for resale next spring, the horseman said

it was unlikely to be in Arcadia.

AThe date for [Santa Anita sale] was a little tricky for me in

June,@ Woods explained. AThe only thing we=ve ever been able

to sell at California that sold really well is good-proportioned

horses who look quick and work well. And you can=t sit on them

until June, because if you do, if something goes wrong, it=s all

over for you, you=re dead. You=ve got the horse all summer. If

they are going to have a sale out here and make it work, it

needs to be earlier.@

Woods added the California buyers are active at the Ocala

auctions in his own backyard.

AWe have as many California guys who show up in Ocala at the

April or March sale as show up at Santa Anita for the Santa Anita

sale,@ he said. AAll of the top guys, none of them miss them.@

Woods will take a wait-and-see approach as to what sale these

yearlings will target next year.

AI have no idea where they=ll go,@ he said. AWe=ll see later. It=s

like a woman. You don=t marry her when you first meet her. You

marry her when you have to.@

Other names on the results sheets who are traditionally active

in the yearling-to-juvenile pinhooking arena included Steve

Venosa=s SGV Thoroughbreds, Bruno De Berdt and David

Scanlon, John Brocklebank, and Tom McCrocklin.

Miller First to Six Figures Trainer Peter Miller was the first to make a six-figure bid at

Thursday=s California Fall Yearlings Sale, going to $100,000 to

acquire a colt by Square Eddie. Hip 19 is the second foal out of

Bas (Flower Alley), a half-sister to stakes winner and graded

placed Bold Decision (Precise End). Cont. p8

SALES TOPPERS

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

James Keogh | Keeneland photo

The yearling is from the family of multiple graded winner

Parisian Flight. He was bred by Reddam Racing, which purchased

Bas for $43,000 at the 2012 OBS April sale.

AHe looked very athletic, fast and correct,@ Miller said of the

yearling=s appeal. AHe looks like a really nice colt.@

Asked on whose behalf he had purchased the yearling, Miller

said, AI don=t know yet--one of my clients. We will sort it out as

we go.@

Miller was back in action later in the evening, going to $72,000

to acquire a filly by Smiling Tiger (hip 114) and to $9,000 for a

colt by Surf Cat (hip 93).

LEOFRIC RETIRED TO ROCKRIDGE STUD Leofric (Candy Ride {Arg}--Lady Godiva by Unbridled=s Song),

winner of the 2018 GI Clark H. at Churchill Downs in his career

finale, will stand his first season at stud as the property of a

syndicate at Rockridge Stud in Hudson, New York.

Originally a $330,000 KEESEP yearling purchase, he was

aquired by Steve Landers for $100,000 as a horse of racing age

at the 2016 KEENOV Sale. The gray also won last term=s

GII Hagyard Fayette S. and GIII West Virginia Governor's S. and

was third in the GI Woodward S.

Leofric retires with a record of 14-8-1-3 and earnings of

$951,040. He was produced by the unraced Unbridled=s Song

mare Lady Godiva, a half-sister to MGSW Multiple Choice (Mt.

Livermore). This is the extended female family of GISWs Well

Chosen (Deputy Minister) and Telling (A.P. Indy).

After a proposed mandate by The Jockey Club to cap stallion

covers at 140 annually, we solicited comments from the

industry, and published numerous replies. After our series

JAMES KEOGH, GROVENDALE

I have watched the stallion book limitation debate with much

interest. I am opposed to placing a cap on stallion books.

As a Central Kentucky resident for over 30 years, I have

witnessed tremendous growth and development in this area of

the country. Central Kentucky truly is the Thoroughbred capital

of the world and one reason is that many of the best stallions in

the world reside here.

Caps placed on stallion books will significantly impact the

amount of money a stallion master can pay for a potential

stallion. In order to recover the investment a strong stallion

market goes hand in hand with a strong yearling market.

I'm in agreement with Mr. Arthur Hancock on two points only,

that "the bull is half the herd" and that this will affect the DNA.

Our competition in Japan should be thrilled with the prospects

of implementation of a limited stallion book. With a cap in place,

American stud farms will no longer be able to compete for the

finest stallions in the world and could see stallions leave due to

the restrictions.

Free trade and open markets is what this country is based on. I

urge the people behind this movement to reconsider their

stance as it is counter-productive to producing world class

horses. Parochial thinking has no place in the world of

international commerce.

GEORGE ADAMS, HOUSATONIC BLOODSTOCK

I think the proposed cap is a fantastic idea, and overdue. As

has already been pointed out by numerous commentators,

stallion owners will be able to limit the economic losses that

they might incur from such a cap by simply increasing a horse's

stud fee. That will only aid that next tier of stallions who will end

up being the beneficiaries of some of the "overflow" mares, with

stallion owners likely able to raise the stud fees of those horses

as well. Whether this next tier includes young stallions or proven

stallions who, for whatever reason, have not quite achieved

commercial super-stardom, there would be no dearth of worthy

horses for mare owners to breed their mares to.

The argument that genetic diversity will not be aided by the

140-mare limit because breeders will simply turn to a stallion's

son if they get shut out from his book is a specious one. A

breeder who has a mare that they were going to spend

$150,000 on to send to Into Mischief, if forced to go elsewhere

because of the cap, is not going to choose one of Into Mischief's

sons at a fraction of that price.

They're going to choose another stallion who is a good cross at

or near that stud fee level because they're breeding for the

commercial market, or they believe that their mare is of such

quality that she deserves to be bred at that level--to suggest that

there are a plethora of breeders out there who would pay

one-tenth of a six-figure sire's stud fee to go to one of his sons

instead simply to achieve that specific cross is just not credible.

Having just brought a new stallion to Maryland in Force the

Pass, we can only hope that the 140-mare limit might also result

in a few regional breeders leaving their mares to be bred to

stallions in those regional markets, rather than sending them

back and forth to Kentucky for more "commercial" options.

More mares to a broader swath of stallions, giving more stallions

more chances to establish themselves and to therefore boost

their regional programs, can only be a good thing--for the

regional breeders, regional stallion owners, and therefore the

industry as a whole.

DIANE AKERLIND

As a person who loves the racing and the history of the

Thoroughbred, I think it's a good idea to limit the amount and

give the lesser stallions more of a chance to make it instead of

shipping it to another country. No one wanted Sunday Silence

and look what he did for Japan.

DAN VELLA

I am a trainer in Canada for many years and lover of horse

racing for just as many. I just want to ask The Jockey Club and

the large breeders who control that end of our industry if they have

thought about artificial insemination in our industry's future. This

type of breeding is done in all other horse industries and is 100%

foolproof with the use of DNA testing when registering foals.

I understand that it would be a huge change for us but I

believe that if we can allow all breeders to have access to better

and sounder stallions throughout North America, it would go a

long way towards helping our major problems in our industry

today--that being sounder animals that need less medication.

We as a industry need to stop fighting among ourselves and

work towards a strong future or we won't have one and it starts

with the powerful people making the right decisions from the

way we breed to the way we race. I see a lot of breeders

fighting against Lasix. Let's start at home and allow people

access to sound stallions that had no need for medication and

that would be a huge step toward saving our industry.

RYAN MCLEAN

I think the breeding world should cap the stallion=s first three

seasons at 100 mares, then open his book up after that. That

would get the breeders= focus on the best book mares for the

stallion. Prices would be probably be higher for breeding fees

and at sales because there wouldn't be flooding in the market.

We don=t need to find out four years after the stallion put out

400 foals on the ground that they aren't worth the grass they

are eating. We need to focus on quality with the diversity to

keep our breed going in a positive direction.

READE BAKER

I think it's very important to see through this fairy-tale, and

realize the potential results of this socialistic proposal. This plan

will cause an increase in stud fees for the over 140 group of

stallions and also increase the stud fees of the replacement

stallions. It certainly smacks of a penalty to the farms that are

doing a great job of marketing and an incentive to the farms

that don't do such a great job, that kind of plan never leads to

long-term success.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Bill Finley, Joe Bianca, Alan Carasso and Jon Green (l to r)

At the end of the day, the breeders will pay more for lesser

perceived quality. Let The Jockey Club and its supporters give

examples of how we are going to broaden the gene pool.

Can we now expect the stallion farms to source their next

stallion from Germany or bring in a son of Redoute's Choice,

Deep Impact, or Oasis Dream?

No, they are going to breed the mares that now can't get to

the over 140 group to the highest-priced of the under 140

stallions that have exactly the same gene pool, the only

difference is who owns them.

The only solution to the problem of the compacted gene pool

is to institute artificial insemination, but I don't think The Jockey

Club or its supporters have any concerns beyond their bonus for

underachievers.

If you allow The Jockey Club to institute this plan what will

they come up with next?

DAVID POWELL

I am continually bemused by the way our racing authorities

everwhere are barking up the wrong tree, or should I say aiming

at the wrong targets.

In the United States, they seem to be looking for any way they

can find to avoid discussing bute and banamine, the only two

drugs sufficiently pain-masking to provoke catastrophic

breakdowns when the horse cannot respond to the pain barrier.

In Britain, they are focusing on tildren, a beneficial treatment

initially developed for humans with bone cancer, when there are

much more serious issues to face.

If shock waves or tildren could numb pain to the same degree

as bute, or at all for that matter, it would be common

knowledge. The fact is, it ain't so.

If ever there were two therapies who help horses on the way

to good health, toward the top of the list you would have shock

waves and tildren, both of which can break a vicious circle of

self-perpetuating inflammation, and actually induce a virtuous

one, setting a horse in chronic pain on its way to recovery, and

thereby eventually less subject to breaking down.

The published study is a self-fulfilling prophecy (Shockwave

Therapy: New Research Suggests Possible Link to Catastrophic

Injury), and completely biased. Obviously the horses who

receive shock waves (among other therapies) are also those

with problems, and therefore that group will be more subject to

breakdowns than the average population.

This makes sense, if you just think about it objectively, doesn't

it?

The conclusion of this study is akin to "discovering" that

people who take paracetamol are more subject to headaches, or

that those who receive insulin are more prone to diabetes....

How about a study of what percentage of the horses who had

catastrophic breakdowns racing or breezing, were on bute or

banamine? And compare that with the average of the breed?

And then concentrate on the real problem: horses working at

speed and racing on powerful analgesics.

JOY SCOTT EARNS MOONEY AWARD Joy Scott will be honored by the National Turf Writers and

Broadcasters with its Bill Mooney Award for displaying courage

in the face of tremendous adversity.

Scott launched her career as a jockey in 1981 and won 537

races riding in Thoroughbred, Quarter Horse, Arabian and Mixed

Breed events. She suffered severe injuries to her right leg in a

five-horse accident at Los Alamitos in 2001, but returned to the

saddle to ride races 14 months later.

AI=m a winner again,@ said Scott, who continues to battle back

from injuries suffered in a morning-training accident in March

2013 at Santa Anita Park. AWhat an honor; I=m thrilled and

overwhelmed.@

Scott joins three prior Mooney winners--the award=s namesake

who died after a long battle with cancer in 2017; retired jockey

and owner Rene Douglas; and last year=s winner, horsewoman

Martine Bellocq.

AShe is the walking (miraculously) embodiment of what the

Mooney Award has come to represent,@ Eclipse Award-winning

Turf writer Jay Hovdey said in his endorsement of Scott this

spring. AHer desire to remain a viable part of the sport kept her

competing until it was no longer possible, and her nightmare

struggles with recovery from serious injury is, sadly, more typical

of others in her situation than we would like to believe. Yet she

has soldiered on, raised a fine son as a single parent, and

presents herself to the racing family with a positive outlook that

is almost incomprehensible to those of us who have never faced

such adversity.@

Scott will be honored at the NTWAB=s 60th annual Awards

Dinner at The Derby in Arcadia, California, Oct. 30. Also that

night, the NTWAB will honor the late Rick Violette, Hall of Fame

trainer D. Wayne Lukas, Caton Bredar, and Tim Wilkin.

The story behind Justify=s positive drug test: A misleading

bombshell scoop, a damning lack of transparency and another

unforced error by racing officials In the first week of April in

2018, trucks from a company named Citrus Feed made deliveries

to horse barns at Santa Anita Race Track in Arcadia, California.

Citrus Feed is one of three suppliers that service most of the

Southern California racing circuit. It is a family-owned company

that was started 65 years ago by Don Bell and is now operated

by Don=s son, Larry Bell; the business has roots to 1924, when

Robert Oscar Bell, Larry=s grandfather, moved from Tennessee

and opened a feed store in La Verne, 30 miles east of Los

Angeles and began selling feed during the local county fair=s

horse races. Tim Layden, NBCSports

I Spent Four Days in >The Horse Capital of the World=

AI spent four days in the northern Kentucky city, and it became

clear that life there revolves around the horse industry as well

as, of course, bourbon. Here's what it was like.@ Katie Warren,

Gouverneur Morris | Sarah Andrew

IN SHARPER FOCUS: GOUVERNEUR MORRISby Steve Sherack

If $600,000 Fasig-Tipton Florida graduate and >TDN Rising Star=

Gouverneur Morris (Constitution)=s runaway debut win in the

Saratoga slop Sept. 2 was any indication, Team Valor

International=s Barry Irwin may have a difficult time staying

away from the 2-year-old in training sales for such a long time

again.

Co-owned by WinStar Farm LLC and trained by Todd Pletcher,

the flashy gray is currently being aimed at the GI Claiborne

Breeders= Futurity at Keeneland Oct. 5.

AI don=t like the 2-year-old sales,@ Irwin dead-panned. AI don=t

like how they treat the horses. The number of people that I have

personally encountered that do the right thing are few and far

between. It=s just too much heartbreak, so I stopped going. I

think the last 2-year-old colt that I bought in America was a

minimum of a dozen years ago.@

So what lured Irwin back to the ring? Enter recent Team Valor

hire Jessica Berry, a graduate of the Godolphin Flying Start

program.

AShe wanted me to take her to a 2-year-old sale for a learning

experience--just to look at some horses and basically give her

my opinion on things,@ Irwin said. AI went out there with no

intention of buying the horse or bidding on anything.@

Gouverneur Morris=s move in :10 1/5 was one of only a couple

of breezes at the under-tack show to pique Irwin=s interest.

While taking a closer look at Hip 174 at the Eddie Woods

consignment at Barn 24, Irwin ran into Pletcher, who also

trained the colt=s freshman sire to wins in the 2014 GI Besilu

Florida Derby and 2015 GI Donn H.

AI saw Pletcher standing out there and I said, >Did you look at

this horse?,=@ Irwin said. AHe goes, >Yeah, he looks just like

Constitution did at that same age.=@

A well-timed, single bid of $600,000 by Berry and Gouverneur

Morris was Team Valor=s. WinStar came in for a quarter interest

shortly thereafter, per Irwin. Gouverneur Morris was the most

expensive of 41 juveniles to switch hands by Constitution in

2019.

Previously a $200,000 KEESEP yearling graduate, Gouverneur

Morris was bred in Kentucky by Machmer Hall, Carrie and Craig

Brogden and James F. Miller. One of a leading 15 winners for his

first-crop sire, he is out of the stakes-placed Unbridled=s Song

mare Addison Run. The Feb. 23 foal hails from the extended

female family of champion Midshipman (Unbridled=s Song) and

MGISW Frosted (Tapit).

You don=t need a master=s degree in history to appreciate the

story behind this horse=s name.

The two-legged Gouverneur Morris, of course, was a founder

and writer of the Preamble to the U.S. Constitution. Team Valor

partner Ed Barker, who also owns 25% of Centennial Farms= GI

Woodward S. winner and GI Jockey Club Gold Cup entrant

Preservationist (Arch), gets all the credit, Irwin said.

AAs soon as I bought the horse, I sent out an email and he was

the first guy to call and asked if he could name him if he bought

in,@ Irwin said. AI said, >Buy 10% and I=ll let you name him.= He=s a

real history buff and he sent me a whole bunch of stuff on who

he was and what he did. Oddly enough, he used to go to the

races in France, too.@

Gouverneur Morris has posted two workouts since his ultra-

impressive unveiling, which earned him a very solid 83 Beyer

Speed Figure. He shared the bullet for five furlongs in 1:00.88

(1/12) at Belmont Park Sept. 20 with fellow Pletcher >Rising Star=

Alpha Sixty Six (Liam=s Map).

APletcher decided that the two-turn experience of the Futurity

was worth going there for,@ Irwin concluded. AI=ve had horses

with Todd for many years and I=ve never heard him carry on to

the extent that he has on this horse.@
