THE WEEKLY WRAP: KING FOR A DAY

by Emma Berry

The Wrap made a short tour of France last week, starting at

the historic sister studs of Mesnil and Maulepaire en route to

Deauville for the Arqana breeze-up sale. The walls of the

chateau at the heart of Mesnil are festooned with paintings of

the famous horses bred and raced by the Couturie family, with

pride of place given to Elisabeth Couturie's Right Royal (Fr),

winner of the Poule d'Essai des Poulains, Prix Lupin and Prix du

Jockey Club in 1961.

Almost 60 years later, it's fair to say that we witnessed a right

royal winner of this year's Poule d'Essai des Poulains in Persian

King (Ire) (Kingman {GB}). Racing in the colours of Godolphin but

still 50% owned by his breeder Diane Wildenstein's Ballymore

Thoroughbred Ltd, the colt was every bit as imposing in the

parade ring as he is on the racecourse and stems from a

Wildenstein family which includes the 1997 Prix du Jockey Club

and Arc winner Peintre Celebre (Nureyev), bred and raced by

Diane's grandfather Daniel Wildenstein. It seems likely that the

Jockey Club will be the next step on the Classic trail for Persian

King, whose manner of victory may have been dampened by the

soft ground at Longchamp. Similar conditions had also been a

concern for his sire Kingman when he lined up for the final race

of his career in the G1 Prix Jacques le Marois at Deauville. His

class told that day, just as it did for his son on Sunday.

CAULFIELD EXAMINES PERSIAN KINGBy Andrew Caulfield

The great Frankel had a very good time with his third-crop

3-year-olds last week, with no fewer than six of them winning or

placing at black-type level. Three of them won, with Obligate

coming home 3 1/2 lengths clear in the Prix des Lilas, Mehdaayih

4 1/2 lengths clear in the Cheshire Oaks and Anapurna six

lengths clear in Lingfield=s Oaks Trial. For good measure, East

finished a creditable third in the G1 Poule d=Essai des Pouliches,

It=s worth remembering that this talented collection comes from

a crop of fewer than 90 Northern Hemisphere foals, and they

whet the appetite for Frankel=s considerably larger fifth crop,

which reaches the yearling sales later this year.

Even so, Frankel temporarily found himself outshone by his

stud companion Kingman, who matched Frankel=s feat of siring a

first-crop Classic winner when Persian King landed the odds in

the G1 Poule d=Essai des Poulains. Kingman was also in the news

at Arqana=s Breeze-Up Sale, where his four representatives

included fillies which sold for i800,000 and i650,000. Another

of Kingman=s juvenile fillies had sold for 850,000gns at the

Craven Breeze-Up. Add in the 1,050,000gns paid last year for

one of Kingman=s yearling colts and it is easy to understand why

there has been such great demand for Kingman=s services this

year, at an increased fee of ,75,000, after spending his first four

seasons at ,55,000.

At around this time last year I was getting a little concerned

that Kingman had had hardly any runners from his first crop, but

those concerns rapidly evaporated on June 9, when Calyx

earned TDN Rising Star status in the process of becoming his

sire=s first winner on his debut. Within a couple of weeks Calyx

had become his first Group winner, with his thrilling display of

speed in the G2 Coventry S.

Castle Lady (Ire) edging Commes (Fr) | Scoop Dyga

Cont. from p1

Behind Kingman in the Jacques le Marois of

2014 was Anodin (Ire), whose first-crop son

Anodor (Fr) is the only horse to have beaten

Persian King when the pair met on debut last

August in the Prix de Crevecoeur. Farther back

in fourth in the Jacques le Marois was Rizeena

(Ire) (Iffraaj {GB}), whose half-sister by none

other than Kingman was bought for i800,000

by Anthony Stroud on behalf of Godolphin at

the Arqana Breeze-up Sale on Saturday.

Queen of the Castle While Persian King's victory was a seventh in the Poulains for

Andre Fabre, the win of Castle Lady (Ire) (Shamardal) was a first

in the Poule d'Essai des Pouliches for Henri-Alex Pantall, who has

had a longtime association with Godolphin (and, coincidentally,

trained Magna Graecia (Ire), not to be confused with Magna

Grecia (Ire), to win the Prix Right Royal in Sheikh Mohammed's

colours back in 2001). Unraced at two, but metronomically

consistent this year with three runs and three wins on March 14,

April 14 and now May 12, Castle Lady led a good day for

Shamardal, who also featured as the sire of Shaman (Ire) and

grandsire of San Donato (Ire), second and third respectively

behind Persian King, as well as providing the winner of the G3

Amethyst S. at Leopardstown, Hazapour (Ire). Shamardal's range

is highlighted by the fact that he is also broodmare sire of the

Oaks favourite Pink Dogwood (Ire) (Camelot {GB}), and after this

weekend, he currently leads the European sires' list.

Twenty-four hours before Castle Lady's victory in Paris,

American-based Frenchman Patrick Biancone had signed for one

of her relatives, the sole offering by freshman Summer Front in

the Arqana Breeze-up Sale, at i240,000. Like Castle Lady, the

colt has Right Word as his third dam, their grandams being the

half-sisters Ascutney (Lord At War {Arg}) and Right Spice (Salt

Lake) respectively.

Le Havre on a Roll Runner-up in the fillies' Classic, Commes (Fr), was denied

victory by just a nose and had the verdict gone the other way

she would have completed a trio of wins in the Poule d'Essai des

Pouliches for Le Havre (Ire), the sire of Avenir Certain (Fr) and La

Cressonniere (Fr). All three fillies were bred and raised at Gerard

Augustin-Normand's Haras de Montfort & Preaux, where the

13-year-old stallion, who also raced for the same owner, has

stood his entire career. Le Havre is currently enjoying a fine run

in 2019 and lies third on the European table with eight

black-type winners-just one behind Shamardal and Galileo (Ire).

Shadwell's Motamarris (Ire), the eight-length winner of a

Chantilly conditions race on Saturday for Freddy Head, looks

another progressive Le Havre 3-year-old to follow.

Echoes of Harzand With a first Classic victor under his belt, Kingman may have

been the talking horse of the weekend but the strength in depth

of the second-crop sire division was underlined at Leopardstown

when Broome (Ire), a son of Australia (GB), and Hamariyna (Ire),

by Sea The Moon (Ger), laid down important markers of future

intent in Classic trials. As highlighted previously in this column,

Broome is one of a number of exciting Derby prospects for the

2014 winner of the Epsom showpiece, including Bangkok (Ire).

The Aga Khan's Hamariyna, winner of the G3 Derrinstown Stud

1000 Guineas Trial, shares not just her third dam Hazaradjat

(Ire) with the 2016 Derby winner Harzand (Ire), who has her as

his grandam, but also her grandsire Sea The Stars (Ire), who is

Harzand's sire. Could this similar pattern of breeding lead to

Classic success for Sea The Stars's promising young son Sea The

Moon?

Anapurna | Racing Post

Sponsorship Rewarded Luke Comer's Comer Group International sponsored not just

Sunday's Amethyst S. at Leopardstown but also the G2

Oleander-Rennen at beautiful Hoppegarten and his support of

these Pattern races was repaid by success in the latter as both

owner and trainer. Comer bought the winner Raa Atoll (Ire) (Sea

The Stars {Ire}) for 30,000gns from John Gosden's Clarehaven

Stables draft at last year's Tattersalls Horses-in-Training Sale and

he has now recouped almost double his purchase price in

winning on his first start for Comer. Moreover, the former China

Horse Club representative is now qualified for the Weatherbys

Hamilton Stayers' Million and has the Gold Cup at Royal Ascot in

his sights, where he is likely to take on his former stable-mate

and inaugural Million winner, Stradivarius (Ire), another son of

Sea The Stars. Earlier this spring, Weatherbys Hamilton

announced four further international qualifying races for its

lucrative staying challenge, the Oleander-Rennen being joined

by the Dubai Gold Cup, the Vintage Crop S. at Navan and the Prix

Vicomtesse Vigier at Longchamp at the end of this month.

Meon Valley on a mountain high Amid an exciting week of Classic Trials, Lingfield's turf track

was in use on Saturday, where Anapurna (GB) (Frankel {GB})

continued an excellent start to the season for her

owner-breeder Meon Valley Stud. The sixth-length winner of

Lingfield's listed Oaks Trial only made her debut between

Christmas and New Year and progressed from that ninth-place

opener to win her maiden at the end of January. Her first run on

a turf course which fairly closely resembles Epsom was

therefore quite the eye-opener and the daughter of G1

Yorkshire Oaks runner-up Dash To The Top (GB) (Montjeu {Ire})

now leads a potentially strong Oaks team for John Gosden.

The trainer may have joked that he is surrounded by AidanO'Brien-trained prospects when it comes to the Derby butGosden is not lacking in filly power and could field anotherdaughter of Frankel, the Cheshire Oaks winner Mehdaayih (GB),as well as Sparkle Roll (Fr) (Kingman {GB}) and Enable'shalf-sister Entitle (GB) (Dansili {GB}), both of whom are declaredfor the G3 Musidora S. tomorrow. The previous evening, theWeinfelds had the satisfaction of watching another homebredfilly win her maiden extremely impressively when Twist 'N'Shake (GB) (Kingman {GB}) romped to a seven-length success atNottingham. Previously second by a short-head in a Newmarketmaiden during the Craven meeting, Twist 'N' Shake's form hadbeen franked by the winner that day, Maqsad (Fr) (Siyouni {Fr}),going on to win the listed Pretty Polly S. by five lengths. TheMeon Valley Stud breeding will feature in another tantalisingClassic trial this week when Telecaster (GB) (New Approach{Ire}) lines up in Thursday's G2 Dante S. The son of theWeinfelds' Oaks and Irish Oaks runner-up Shirocco Star (GB)(Shirocco {Ger}) races in the colours of Castle Down Racing andis trained, like his mother, by Hughie Morrison. Furthermore,Value Proposition (GB) (Dansili {GB}), bred by Meon Valley andsold to Klaravich Stables as a yearling for 400,000gns, earnedTDN Rising Star status last month when scoring impressively ondebut at Belmont Park for Chad Brown.

Fifteen to follow French Fifteen (Fr) was only a neck behind Camelot (GB) when

second in the 2000 Guineas and the son of Turtle Bowl (Ire)

enjoyed a good spell via G3 Prix de Saint-Georges winner Sestilio

Jet (Fr) following the previous Sunday's win for French King (GB)

in the G2 Gerling-Preis in Cologne. Along with Lucayan (Fr), the

Poule d'Essai des Poulains winner of 2012, French Fifteen, who

won five races at two culminating in the G1 Criterium

International, was a member of Turtle Bowl's first crop and was

bred by Gilles and Aliette Forien of Haras de Montaigu, where

his sire stood. Such was the impression made by this pair in

particular that the imposing son of Dyhim Diamond (Ire) was

sold to Japan in 2013, and stood for four seasons at Shadai

Stallion Station until his premature death in 2017. Turtle Bowl's

influence remains in France through French Fifteen, who stands

at Haras du Logis St Germain, and Lucayan, who started his stud

career at Spain's Yeguada Torreduero but is now at Haras de

Saint Vincent and will have his first crop of French-bred

2-year-olds to race this year from a book of 47 mares.

PERSIAN KING (IRE), 3, c

Andrew Caulfield cont. from p1

Although Calyx was then side-lined, the rest

of 2018 saw Kingman reinforce his bright start

with four further black-type winners, headed

by Persian King. It is now becoming

abundantly clear that Persian King faced no simple task when he

travelled to Newmarket for the G3 Autumn S., where he was

chased home by Magna Grecia, Circus Maximus and Western

Australia. Since then he=s run out a five-length winner of the G3

Prix de Fontainebleau and his Poulains win was his fifth from six

starts.

Bearing in mind that Kingman=s Timeform rating went from

112P at two to 134 at three, it is reasonable to expect his

progeny to train on well. Calyx certainly seems to have done so,

judging by his scintillating return to action in the G3

Commonwealth Cup Trial. Sparkle Roll, Nausha and Surfman

may all make their group-race debuts this week at York. Watch

out too for the likes of Sangarius, King of Comedy, Fox

Chairman, Private Secretary, Raakib Alhawa, Twist >N= Shake,

Tempus, Headman, Clerisy and the French-trained Shamiyla.

There was also plenty to like about last week=s debut win by

the French filly Bowled Over, who became Kingman=s fifth

winner from seven runners out of Galileo mares, others being

Nausha and Fox Chairman (who did well to take third place in

last week=s Dee S. after being trapped on the rails). Perhaps one

day we will see Kingman achieve similar figures with daughters

of Frankel.

An interesting aspect of Kingman=s success this year is that he

already has several winners over a mile and a quarter, such as

Sparkle Roll, Surfman and Private Secretary, even though the

July Cup was once considered for the son of speedy Invincible

Spirit. It is worth remembering that Kingman=s second dam,

Hope, was a sister to the Irish Oaks winner Wemyss Bight and

that his third dam, Bahamian, was once disqualified after

winning the G3 Prix de l=Esperance over a furlong short of two

miles. Hope, of course, produced the very fast Oasis Dream to

Invincible Spirit=s sire Green Desert, and Oasis Dream

occasionally sires very smart middle-distance performers, none

better than Midday. There must be a good chance that Persian

King will stay a mile and a quarter, and the Prix du Jockey-Club is

an obvious target for him. His broodmare sire Dylan Thomas

stayed well enough to win the Irish Derby, the King George and

the Arc, and his dam, the lightly-raced Pretty Please, won over

the Prix du Jockey-Club course and distance on her debut.

Persian King now carries the Godolphin colours but he and his

dam represent one of the Wildenstein family=s best female lines.

His dam, who also has a 2-year-old filly by Australia named

Petite Folie, is a three-parts-sister to that very successful

performer Planteur. Although both were sired by sons of

Danehill, Planteur=s sire Danehill Dancer was a much speedier

individual than Pretty Please=s sire Dylan Thomas. Even so,

Planteur stayed well enough to finish second in the Prix du

Jockey-Club and the Grand Prix de Paris, in addition to winning

the G2 Prix Noailles and the G1 Prix Ganay over an extended

mile and a quarter. Plante Rare, the Giant=s Causeway mare

responsible for Planteur and Pretty Please, visited Oasis Dream

to produce Pilote d=Essai, a gelding who enjoyed Listed

successes over 1 3/8 and 1 5/8 miles after his sale to Australia.

Persian King=s fifth dam, the Listed winner Plencia, first found

fame as the dam of Daniel Wildenstein=s brilliant filly Pawneese,

winner of the Oaks, Prix de Diane and the King George in 1976.

Sadly, Pawneese died without producing a single black-type

performer, but her Group 3-winning half-sister Petroleuse made

ample amends by becoming the dam of three group winners.

One of the Group winners, Peinture Bleue, became the dam of

the Prix du Jockey-Club and Arc winner Peintre Celebre and

Petroleuse=s Lear Fan filly Palmeraie has also excelled as a

broodmare. She too had three Group winners to her credit--

Pushkin, Place Rouge and Policy Maker--with Policy Maker being

a multiple Group 2 winner who twice finished second in the G1

Grand Prix de Saint-Cloud. Policy Maker is responsible for the

exciting young chaser Chacun Pour Soi, which is a tenuous link to

Persian King, a Classic winner described by his trainer Andre

Fabre as Aa game horse built more for Cheltenham.@

LAURENS READY TO START IN LOCKINGE The Karl Burke trained Laurens (Fr) (Siyouni {Fr}) is one of six

2018 Group 1 winners engaged in a classy looking renewal of

the G1 Al Shaqab Lockinge S. to be run at Newbury this

Saturday. Burke confirmed John Dance=s star 4-year-old on

target to make her seasonal debut in the ,750,000 contest at a

media morning at his Middleham yard on Monday. Laurens

enjoyed a glorious 2018 winning four Group 1 races and while

she is ready to start Burke expects her to come forward for the

run. AShe will definitely improve a little bit, as most horses do for

a run, but she=s been away to Newcastle for a gallop and she=s

done loads of work here,@ he said. AI would say she is 95 per

cent, looks in great order and is working well. She will need to

be all of that in a Group 1. She will have another final blow

tomorrow morning and, hopefully, that will be good enough,@ he

added.

Laurens won two of her Group 1s last year over 10 furlongs

but Burke is planning to campaign her more or less at a mile this

year, unless Laurens tells him differently this weekend. AThe

mile division probably lacks a real superstar and, hopefully, she

is there to fill that gap. We think she has improved again. She

has certainly improved physically and as she has got stronger

she has probably got quicker. That=s why we are happy to start

at a mile and we=ll make a decision after Saturday as to whether

we stay at a mile.@ He continued, AI would be surprised if we go

back up [in trip], certainly to a mile and a quarter. Maybe we

would take on one mile, one furlong, but to be honest the

pattern of races over a mile suit her perfectly after the Queen

Anne. The other top level winners confirmed for the Lockinge

are last year=s G1 Queen Anne S. winner Accidental Agent (GB)

(Delegator {GB}), the G1 Tattersalls Irish 2000 Guineas winner

Romanised (Ire) (Holy Roman Emperor {Ire}), the G1 St James=s

Palace S. winner Without Parole (GB) (Frankel {GB}), the G1

BIG WEEKEND BOLSTERSATTUNGA AHEAD OF GOLD

COAST

By Bren O=Brien

Bolstered by some significant recent success, including a

Group 1 graduate over the weekend, Attunga Stud heads

towards a busy National Sales Series on the Gold Coast with

plenty of confidence. Attunga sold Group 1 South Australian

Derby winner Qafila (Not A Single Doubt) on behalf of breeders

Woodpark Stud at the 2017 Magic Millions Yearling Sale, while it

also has a strong connection to Listed Lingfield Derby Trial

winner Anthony Van Dyck (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}), who shapes as

one of several hopes for Aidan O'Brien in the G1 Investec Derby.

They are a nice couple of timely additions to the resume for

Attunga Stud which offers 17 mares, seven yearlings and five

weanlings at the upcoming Gold Coast sales series, where Brian

Nutt will also be active as a buyer, looking for pinhook

opportunities.

Speaking to TDN AusNZ, Nutt said the relationship with

Woodpark's Jean Dubois began soon after the Frenchman had

taken over from Louis Baudron.

"I was introduced to Jean and Karine by Arthur Hoyeau a few

years ago. We=ve been selling for them over the past three

years," Nutt said.

The first sale they worked together was the 2017 Magic

Millions, where Shadwell's Angus Gold took a shine to a couple

of Attunga's draft by Arrowfield's Not A Single Doubt. Gold

would pay $450,000 for the filly out of imported Tapit (USA)

mare Zighy Bay {USA}), a three-quarter sister to American

Group winner Sacristy (USA) (Pulpit {USA}).

"She always struck as a really athletic filly that had a great walk

and a good constitution," Nutt said of his first impressions of

Qafila, who like all of Shadwell's Australian-based horses was

sent to Lindsay Park to train.

However, Nutt was a little surprised to see the filly show up in

one of the first 2-year-old races in Melbourne, winning the

Listed Debutant S. at Caulfield.

"We always thought she would get better with time, so to win

her first start as a 2-year-old in a stakes race was a bit of a

surprise," he said.

Tough Filly Gets to Work Early Qafila would have five starts as a 2-year-old contesting both

the G1 Blue Diamond S. and the G1 Golden Slipper but any

thoughts of her being simply a speedy precocious type were

quickly put to bed during her spring 3-year-old campaign as

David, Ben Hayes and Tom Dabernig stepped her up in distance

with some success. She was second in the G2 Wakeful S. and

then fifth in the G1 VRC Oaks. Having claimed a second stakes

success in the G3 Angus Armanasco S. over 1400m at Caulfield

back in February, she was sent to Sydney for two runs before

heading to Adelaide after a ninth in the G1 Vinery Stud S. After

finishing fourth in last week's G1 Schweppes Oaks, Qafila's

trainers then took the somewhat surprising option of backing

her up in the Derby, where she was the lone filly in the race. But

Nutt, who has followed the filly's progression closely, said he

never doubted her staying credentials.

"In those 2000m races and even the VRC Oaks last year, she

came from well back and in the Oaks last week, she came from

near last and ran fourth. I always thought that 2500m would suit

her and she obviously did well for David Hayes to back her up.

She raced a bit handier on Saturday, and just outstayed the

boys," Nutt said. "She's obviously tough. She's run in a Golden

Slipper and Blue Diamond as a 2-year old and now she has won

a Derby. Our faith in her as an athletic filly and obviously having

Angus Gold buy her at the Gold Coast, it=s great to see she has

fulfilled the potential I thought she would have had."

Attunga also sold her younger half-brother by Zoustar at the

2018 Magic Millions Sale to Spicer Thoroughbreds. Called The

Ladies Man, he is at Lindsay Park.

"He's a different type of horse,@ Nutt said. AHe looked on type

he could go a bit earlier and Zoustar has taken all before him

and hopefully it won't be long until we see him.@

Derby Prospect on Track A few hours later at Lingfield, Attunga had another success to

toast with Anthony Van Dyck's 2.25l success. He is out of Believe

'n' Succeed (Exceed and Excel), who was a winner of the G3 Blue

Diamond Prelude when trained by Mark Kavanagh and was sold

by Attunga for $1.1m to Coolmore in 2014, soon after her first

foal, Bounding (Lonhro), won the G1 ARC Railway S.

"We=ve been following him ever since we sold the mare on

behalf of Michael Birchall, the owner, who was downsizing at

the time," Nutt said. "She was a beautiful mare. She was

entered in the National Broodmare Sale, but she got sick. We

had to pull her out of that sale and she ended up coming right

and went into the Patinack Dispersal, where she was eventually

sold.

He added, AShe produces a lovely yearling and we had a Street

Cry (Ire) from her that made $950,000 for us a few years ago

that was purchased by George Moore."

Coolmore sent her to Ireland and she went to Galileo (Ire) in

her first year there. The resultant colt, Anthony Van Dyck, was

twice a winner at stakes level in Ireland as a 2-year-old and

began his 3-year-old season with an impressive win on Saturday.

"Naturally, we have been following her progress over there,

for her to produce a topliner is also satisfying, even though we

weren=t the breeders," Nutt said. "It was a nice win and we=ll

keep our fingers crossed for him."

National Focus for Attunga Attunga will be looking to further enhance its record for selling

top-quality breeding prospects at the National Broodmare Sale,

which runs from May 28-May 31. The two standouts of its draft

are the quality racemares Eckstein (I Am Invincible), a four-time

stakes winner for Kurt Goldman, and triple stakes winning

sprinter Quilista (Scandal Keeper {USA}).

"Eckstein is a multiple Group winner by I Am Invincible, who is

the standout stallion in Australia,@ said Nutt. AShe's a beautiful

type of mare so we are hoping she can make good money."

In regards to Quilista, Nutt said, "Quilista, I haven't seen in the

flesh, but I'm looking forward to seeing her at the Gold Coast

and selling her for her owners."

Among the seven yearlings Attunga will offer at the National

Yearling Sale in early June is Lot 2287, the half-brother to G2

Todman S. winner Yes Yes Yes (Rubick). Goldman purchased the

colt $70,000 at this year's Inglis Classic Sale, shortly before his

half-brother's success in the Todman. A busy couple of weeks

kicks off on May 22, with six lots on offer by Attunga at the

National Weanling Sale, where Nutt confirmed he will also be

looking to buy as well.

AWe've done a little bit of homework and hope to pick up

something we can make a dollar out of next year," he said.

Luis Saez will appeal his 15-day suspension to the

Kentucky Horse Racing Commission | Horsephotos

IN TDN EUROPE TODAYTHE WEEKLY WRAP: KING FOR A DAYEmma Berry recaps the weekend’s activity from France, including

the imperious victory of Persian King (Ire) (Kingman {GB}) in the

Poulains. Click or tap here to go straight to TDN Europe.

SAEZ HANDED 15-DAYSFOR DERBY RIDE

By Bill Finley

The Churchill Downs Board of Stewards has suspended jockey

Luis Saez 15 days for his ride aboard Maximum Security (New

Year=s Day) in the GI Kentucky Derby. In one of the more

controversial Derbies in history, Maximum Security appeared to

come out several paths nearing the top of the stretch, impeding

War of Will (War Front). That began a chain reaction in which

War of Will banged into Long Range Toddy (Take Charge Indy).

Maximum Security was placed 17th.

Saez=s suspension will be in effect on the following dates: May

23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 30 and June 1, 2, 6, 7, 8, 9, 13, 14. The days

not included in the ruling are days Churchill is dark.

In their ruling, the stewards said the suspension was Afor

failure to control his mount and make the proper effort to

maintain a straight course thereby causing interference with

several rivals that resulted in the disqualification of his mount.@

Attorney Sean Haskins, who is handling the case along with

lead counsel Ann Oldfather, said Saez will appeal the ruling to

the Kentucky Horse Racing Commission and will do so within the

next few days.

AThe stewards= ruling is completely unsupported by the facts

and the suspension is unsupportable,@ Haskins said.

TAPIT COLT A TIMELY INVESTMENT FOR

WORMSER by Jessica Martini

Donna Wormser, a longtime presence on the sales scene, ismostly retired from the sport these days, but the horsewomanwill be represented at next week=s Fasig-Tipton Midlantic 2-Year-Olds in Training Sale by a pinhooking prospect with a half-sibling in the news. Wormser partnered to buy the colt by Tapitout of Visions of Clarity (Ire) (Sadler=s Wells) for $130,000 at lastyear=s Fasig-Tipton Kentucky October Yearling Sale. At the time,the yearling=s juvenile half-brother by War Front had finishedsecond in the GI Summer S. and fourth in the GIII Bourbon S.,but War of Will would go on to establish himself as a bonafide GI Kentucky Derby contender with wins in the GIII Lecomte S.and GII Risen Star S. After a dramatic, and well-documented,seventh-place finish in the Derby, War of Will will look to getback to the winner=s circle in Saturday=s GI Preakness S. Threedays later, his half-brother will go through the sales ring inTimonium as hip 575 with the Wavertree Stables consignment.Cont. p4

Saez Suspension cont. from p1

AWe will be appealing the ruling with the Kentucky Horse

Racing Commission and we look forward to the opportunity to

present proof that shows that Luis Saez had a flawless ride at

the Kentucky Derby and that he should not be sanctioned or

disciplined at all. The suspension is completely unwarranted.

The lead counsel for Luis Saez, Ann Oldfather, attended the film

viewing with the stewards last Friday and all the jockeys that

were present confirmed that Luis was not at fault and he did

everything he could do to control the horse. So the stewards

should not have given him any sort of discipline. We were

disappointed when we received the stewards= decision because

it is completely unsupported by the facts. Why the stewards

rendered this decision is something that we do not know the

basis of.@

At the hearing with the stewards, Oldfather presented video

the that she said shows that Tyler Gaffalione, who rode War of

Will, was in fact the jockey that started the chain reaction that

led to the roughly run race.

She told the Lexington Herald-Leader: ATyler Gaffalione started

all this. And (Saez) is lucky the horse didn=t bolt off the trackYit=s

laughable when you see the actual video.@

The owners of Maximum Security, Gary and Mary West, filed

an appeal with the Kentucky Horse Racing Commission (KHRC)

asking it to overturn the stewards= decision to disqualify their

horse. Because Kentucky racing rules state the decision of the

stewards is final, the KHRC immediately threw out the appeal.

The Wests have said they will now take their case to the

courts.

Kentucky racing regulations require a jockey to be heard when

he or she files an appeal of a suspension. However, it is

extremely rare that a commission overturns a ruling of the

stewards. If the KHRC does not overturn the suspension, Haskins

said they, too, will take the case to the courts in an effort to

have Saez exonerated. With all the legal maneuvers that will

likely take place before there is a final verdict on Saez=s

situation, it is unlikely that his suspension will start any time in

the near future.

Timely Investment for Wormser cont. from p1

AI generally only pinhook at a limited level anymore,@

Wormser, who last consigned horses under her own name some

15 years ago and is now based in North Carolina, said. AIt is my

only involvement in the Thoroughbred industry these days.@

Of her association with the Tapit colt, Wormser added, AThere

was a pinhooking group formed and this horse was

recommended to me. He was one of three 2-year-olds I am a

part of selling this spring.@

War of Will was purchased by Justin Casse on behalf of Gary

Barber for i250,000 at last year=s Arqana May sale and is now

trained by Casse=s brother Mark. The family connection gave

Wormser some inside information on the colt=s potential.

AI knew of his existence and that he was well thought of by

Mark Casse,@ Wormser said. AMy godson is Justin Casse, so he

was able to give me some insight, but at that point he was still

only thought of as a >grass horse.=@

Bred by Flaxman Holdings, the Tapit colt is also a half-brother

to Group 1-winning Pathfork (Distorted Humor). Visions of

Clarity is a half-sister to multiple Group 1 winner Spinning World

(Nureyev).

With the power-packed pedigree was Wormser surprised to be

able to purchase the youngster for $130,000 last October?

AI was,@ she admitted, before explaining, AThe parts were all

there, but he was a May foal with a lot of maturing in front of

him, which is why he is selling this late. There is a fair amount of

Sadler=s Wells to him, but he has a very nice top line and is

correct. He has really blossomed over the past 45 days.@

Ciaran Dunne, whose Wavertree consigns the colt to the

Midlantic sale, agreed the May 13 foal (Thorostride video) is

showing all the right signs.

War of Will | Hodges Photography

Timely Investment for Wormser cont.

AHe was very immature and backward as a yearling and is only

now starting to mature, both mentally and physically,@ Dunne

said. AHe is a colt who gives you the impression that he is only

going to get better. Obviously being a brother to a horse like

War of Will is a huge bonus and makes him a very exciting

prospect.@

While War of Will=s exploits have him in the news, Wormser

thinks it=s a pedigree that stands out all on its own.

AObviously it was very nice to see him run very well in the

Derby and he has a great shot in the Preakness, but I believe the

pedigree has already spoken for itself,@ Wormser said. AAnything

else is just icing on the cake really.@

PREAKNESS PRATTLE: NOTHING TOO FANCY

FOR IMPROBABLE, LAUGHING FOX >TDN Rising Star= Improbable (City Zip), fifth across the line,

but elevated to fourth in the GI Kentucky Derby May 4, breezed

a half-mile in a leisurely :51.80 on a chilly Monday morning at

Churchill Downs, much to the satisfaction of trainer Bob Baffert.

AHe worked really easy, an easy half around there,@ said

Baffert, who is shooting for a record-breaking eighth win in the

middle leg of the Triple Crown. AI didn=t want to do too much

with him. I just wanted to make sure that he still has a lot of

energy.@ (Click for additional footage)

Perfect in three starts last season, including the GI Los

Alamitos Futurity, Improbable is winless in three tries this

season, having finished second in the GII Rebel S. and

GI Arkansas Derby before his respectable effort beneath the

Twin Spires.

AHe=s going over the ground really well, looks really healthy,@

Baffert continued. AHe=s really held his weight really well,

especially for a horse who shipped twice to Arkansas and then

came back here to run in the Derby. That=s what you want to see

this time of the year. It looks like he=s enjoying himself out

there, so I don=t see anything that would make me want to

change my mind [about running]. We want to go up there and

make sure he=s hitting on all cylinders. We don=t want to go up

there and embarrass ourselves. So we were looking good

today.@

Improbable, who is set to be joined in the Preakness by fellow

Derby starters War of Will (War Front), Win Win Win (Hat Trick

{Jpn}) and Bodexpress (Bodemeister), looms the post-time

favorite in the 1 3/16-mile event.

Audley Farm, the original stallion home of Sir Barton

Preakness Prattle cont.

AI wouldn=t say he=s a heavy, heavy favorite,@ the conditioner

said. AIt=s still wide open. Improbable still needs to get away

[from the gate]. For some reason, the first 100 yards, he

scrambles a little bit. For a horse with as much natural speed as

he has, it takes him a while to get going. In the Derby, he was

right behind those horses and when Maximum Security slowed

it down down the backside, everybody was bottled up behind. It

was one of those things where he was fifth and stayed fifth the

whole way, there was no moving. I think post position and the

break are still very important for him.@

Mike Smith has the call this Saturday.

Laughing Fox Stretches His Legs...

Laughing Fox (Union Rags) worked four furlongs in a very easy

:51.60 Monday morning at Churchill Downs. Owned by Alex and

JoAnn Lieblong, the chestnut was fourth, some seven lengths

behind Improbable in the GI Arkansas Derby Apr. 13, but

bounced back to win the inaugural Oaklawn Invitational S. May 4

in a time slightly faster than what it took Omaha Beach (War

Front) to win the Arkansas Derby.

Trainer Steve Asmussen, who sent out Curlin (Smart Strike) to

win the 2007 and Rachel Alexandra (Medaglia d=Oro) two years

later, wasn=t looking for too much.

AObviously he ran nine days ago--a quick turnaround for him,

which we=ve had some success [running back] in two weeks,@

said Asmussen. AHe=s got a great attitude. Nice cool morning, he

felt very good. I thought he went over the racetrack very well. I

think in the past we=ve been very happy with how horses who

have run at Oaklawn have run at Pimlico, so I feel good about

that going up there.@

In other Preakness-related news, John Velazquez has picked

up the mount on Bodexpress (Bodemeister), runner-up to the

demoted Maximum Security (New Year=s Day) in the

GI Xpressbet Florida Derby Mar. 30, but home a well-beaten

14th (placed 13th) in the Kentucky Derby.

DARBY DAN=S TRACIE WILLIS PASSES AWAY Tracie Willis, the controller for Darby Dan Farms, passed away

last Tuesday, the farm reported in a press release. For several

years, the release said, she had battled painful and chronic

pancreatitis, complications from which ultimately claimed her

life. Notification of her immediate family and next of kin, who

were scattered around the country, was finalized over the

weekend.

ATracie was a dedicated Darby Dan Farm team member for

seven years,@ the statement read. AShe sincerely loved horses,

the farm, and the Thoroughbred industry. She was committed to

the farm=s business operation and was a consummate talent in

her many roles. She managed Darby Dan=s social media,

oversaw human resources and insurance, was a popular Darby

Dan tour guide, and represented the farm in multiple

professional associations. She was a proficient and respected

master of accounting.@

ATracie was a very private person,@ said John Phillips, owner of

Darby Dan Farm. AI doubt many people understood how ill she

was. She wouldn=t ever complain nor share her issues.@ Cont. p8

Tracie Willis Passes Away cont.

Phillips continued, ARegardless, Tracie would work with

diligence and precision. She was a perfectionist in nearly all

aspects of her life. I am not sure I ever met anyone quite like

Tracie; she was unique. Her talent was significant and her love

of horses, her dogs and friends were great. She passed away

way too soon. We are stunned and deeply saddened.@

Funeral arrangements are just now being finalized, with

services presently scheduled for Sunday, May 19, at 2 p.m. at

Liberty Road Faith Fellowship on Liberty Road in Lexington,

Kentucky. In lieu of flowers, the farm asks that people share her

commitment to the Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance or the

Fayette County Humane Society.

MACK FOUNDATION TO SPONSOR SIR BARTON The Earle I. Mack Foundation will be the lead sponsor for the

$100,000 Sir Barton S., held during the 2019 Preakness weekend

at Pimlico Race Course. Scheduled for May 18, the Sir Barton will

benefit the Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance and the Man O'

War Project.

The Man O' War Project is a joint venture of the Earle I. Mack

Foundation and Columbia University Irving Medical Center that

is exploring the benefits of equine-assisted therapy in the

treatment of veterans with post-traumatic stress disorder

(PTSD). The organization was launched by former U.S.

Ambassador to Finland Earle I. Mack, philanthropist, military

veteran, and an avid horse enthusiast.

"Thoroughbred aftercare is one of my life's passions, and the

collaboration with a group like TAA is a natural fit for the Man O'

War Project, which depends on retired Thoroughbreds,"

explained Mack. "Together, our groups will show that life after

racing is one full of promise and positivity, and can assist one of

our most important communities, our veterans."

The Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance is a 501(c)3 nonprofit

that accredits, inspects, and awards grants to approved

aftercare organizations that retrain, rehome, and retire

Thoroughbreds using industry-wide funding.

"The TAA is grateful for the support from Ambassador Mack

and is pleased to be presenting the race alongside the Man O'

War Project, which is doing much-needed research to help both

our horses and veterans," TAA operations consultant Stacie

Clark Rogers said.

Now in its 26th year, the Sir Barton Stakes to Benefit the TAA

and the Man O' War Project is named after U.S. Thoroughbred

racing's first Triple Crown winner, who completed the feat 100

years ago. Cont. p9

Led by researchers at Columbia University, the Man O' War

Project is the first university-led clinical research study to

determine the effectiveness of equine-assisted therapy and

establish guidelines for the treatment of military veterans who

suffer from Post-Traumatic Stress.

The Man O' War Project takes veterans diagnosed with PTSD

through an eight-week treatment program that uses

equine-assisted therapy to help them relearn the skills they

need to live healthier and more productive lives. Working side

by side with licensed mental health therapists and equine

specialists, the veterans are guided through a series of

non-riding interactions with the horses, which help them gain a

better understanding and awareness of their own emotions and

behavior.

Through this process, veterans increase emotional awareness

and the ability to recognize and regulate emotion, and learn to

more effectively interact with the horse and, by extension, the

people in their lives.

MJC DONATES MOWER TO BENEFIT TAA The Maryland Jockey Club has donated a Toro Commercial

Zero-Turn Mower that will be raffled off this Friday, Black-Eyed

Susan Day, with all proceeds to benefit the Thoroughbred

Aftercare Alliance (TAA). Tickets may be purchased at the

Pimlico racing office or guest services window. The winner will

have the mower delivered by their local Toro dealer in the U.S.

or Canada

AFinding second careers for our equine athletes is important

for our sport, and Maryland racing, its horsemen and breeders

are all supporters of the TAA and its mission,@ said Steve

Andersen, founder of Equine Equipment, which helped facilitate

the donation. AHaving a great management team like Sal Sinatra

and Georganne Hale at the Maryland Jockey Club get behind this

is gratifying and they should be applauded for their efforts. The

TAA does great work, and Toro is delighted to donate a mower

to the Maryland Jockey Club, which in turn they have used it to

raise funds for the TAA.@

AThe Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance is grateful to Sal Sinatra

and the Maryland Jockey Club. It=s great organizations like this

which make our efforts possible,@ stated Stacie Clark, operations

consultant for the TAA.

TAA TEAMING WITH STABLEDUEL, FRIENDS OF MJC

TO PRESENT BEST TURNED-OUT AWARDS The TAA will parnter with StableDuel and friends of the

Maryland Jockey Club to present best turned-out awards on

Black-Eyed Susan and Preakness Days at Pimlico.

The Friends of MJC, a a group that includes Erin McElwee,

Super C Racing, Jim Wolf, Helen Marshall, Tracy O=Dowd, and

John Lenzini, will sponsor a cash prize and gift back to be

awarded to the winning groom for every race on the card, while

StableDuel will sponsor those items on Preakness Day.

"StableDuel is extremely proud to support the TAA and its

acknowledgement of all of racing's hard-working members that

so often go unrecognized,@ StableDuel CEO Augie Greiner said.

AStableDuel was founded with the purpose of giving back and

supporting the horse racing industry and we are extremely

grateful for all the professionals that are critical to this sport and

look forward to saluting the winning grooms on Preakness Day."

AI have been blessed to live my dream as a racehorse owner

for 10 years,@ said Erin McElwee, the organizer behind the

Friends of MJC sponsorship. AThe grooms that have

unconditionally loved and cared for my horses always hold a

special place in my heart. Any chance that affords them an

opportunity to shine and be recognized is triumph for our

industry.@

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Veterinarian E. C. Hart | Susie Hart

E. C. HART, DVM

I read Dr, Ramzan=s Op-Ed with great interest as the subject of

videoendoscopy in the U.S. is front and center (again), so please

consider the comments I bring up in this letter so we--as a

unified industry--can all feel comfortable moving forward with

video endoscopy.

Before reading this rather lengthy piece, please understand

that I'm totally in favor of using video endoscopy at sales, but I

do have some concerns. After reading Dr. Ramzan=s letter, I

realize that vets all over the world have their own concerns.

Very similar to what has happened with radiographs being

viewed in the repository, who decides if the videoscope is of

good enough quality to use? Vets in the repositories often

discuss what to do with radiographs that are non-diagnostic,

whether it's just poor angles, movement on images or poor

quality images due to the equipment. I'm concerned the same

thing will happen with videoscopes. Who will be responsible for

approving the quality and the content of the scopes prior to the

sale? In addition to the date and time of the scope, will the

videos be 30-45 or 60 seconds in duration, will nasal occlusion

have to be part of the process, will the type of restraint (twitch,

lip chain or no restraint) be included in the record? The basics

might be covered with the wording in the conditions of sale, but

I think we have to have some recourse spelled out other than

simply using an arbitration panel post-sale. I've seen many

videoscopes that are of excellent quality and would be

acceptable as an alternative to performing multiple endoscopic

exams on horses. However, I've also seen videoscopes that are

not good enough to make a determination of the function of the

upper airway. Without addressing this, we're leaving ourselves

open to the same problems we're experiencing when viewing

poor quality radiographic images. In those cases, we can

recommend additional X-rays, but the whole point of the

videoscope is that the horse only gets scoped once.

Another issue is the post-sale arbitration panel--it has to be

fair to both buyer and seller. I think no vet from the group that

took the videoscope should be on the panel. It's human nature

to support the decision of the practice that employs the vet, so

it's a definite conflict of interest. (To those of you who think this

sounds pretty elementary, it does happen quite often). And with

something so subjective as an endoscopic exam, I think the

panel has to be comprised of unbiased people who have a great

deal of experience in this field. That might not be as easy as it

sounds. On that subject, spending time in arbitration is valuable

time a vet doesn=t have to spare at most sales. Furthermore,

what if the horse scopes a 2A/B post-sale, thereby meeting

conditions of sale, but would have been eliminated from

consideration by a lot of clients if they=d had the opportunity to

have their vet scope it pre-sale?

If the exams are performed on the sale grounds, I can see

situations where the horse might not scope as well after a long

stressful van ride in the heat. This doesn't seem fair. Or what if

the seller ships the horse from out of state just to find out the

horse doesn't meet conditions of sale? The obvious answer is

that the horse should be scoped just prior to getting on the van,

but that means those out-of-state sellers have to pay for an

additional scope at the farm and a videoscope at the sale and

the horse still might not scope well after the stress of the van

ride.

Another scenario that I=ve seen on numerous occasions is that

a horse might scope fine when it first arrives at a sale, but after

a few days of showing, I=ve seen everything from kissing lesions

to horses with chondritis, ruptured sub-epiglottal cysts/

abscesses and even 2B or less airways. So a client who relies

solely on the videoscope could end up purchasing a horse with a

problem and would have no idea unless they had it scoped post-

sale. The client might pass on another horse only to find out that

the one he/she bought has an airway issue.

I think positively identifying the horse isn=t going to be a

problem if the exam is performed on the sales grounds. I=m sure

the attorneys for the sale companies have discussed the fact

that these are medical records and what happens if they end up

floating around sale grounds on laptops or iPads?

I think we have to make sure we are still doing our due

diligence for our clients while making the process better for the

seller (and the horse).

IN OTHER NEWS...A Daily Roundup of Racing Articles in Non-Industry Media

Mshawish--Treetop Shock

Letter to the Editor cont.

With a large sale like Keeneland where horses have to be

removed from the stalls in order to accommodate the next

group of ship-ins, I can see vets hoping they can find horses in

holding stalls the following morning and also hoping they can

find someone representing the seller to hold the horse for a

post-sale scope.

None of us has time to spend going from barn to barn looking

for horses. Theoretically we should be out vetting the next

group and can=t afford to get behind in our work schedule.

To reiterate, I am in favor of using videoscopes as part of the

pre-purchase examinations, but the veterinary community has

the responsibility to protect both the buyer and seller, and we

all need to be comfortable with implementing videoendoscopy

at the sales. I'm just trying to think of all the pros and cons to

this so we can make sure everyone feels comfortable using

videoscopes.

I encourage sale companies to be very proactive by keeping

buyers and sellers informed along the way and by encouraging

input from everyone before implementing videoendoscopy at

the sales. --E. C. Hart, DVM

powered clear to an easy win.

sidelines following a sixth-place effort in a Keeneland optional

claimer in October. She returned with a four-length victory in an

Apr. 14 optional claimer at Golden Gate in her first start for

trainer Blaine Wright.
