SURGE IN JOCKEY VIRUSPOSITIVES MET WITH SLEW

OF NEW RESTRICTIONS

by T.D. Thornton

A surge in positive coronavirus tests among jockeys was met

on Tuesday with a flurry of new movement-related restrictions

at Thoroughbred tracks from coast to coast in an effort to keep

the pandemic from spreading further. For the industry in

general, any sizable spike in COVID-19 positives among

participants will almost certainly trigger another wave of

racetrack shutdowns. But for jockeys specifically, the balance of

maintaining safety under pandemic precautions often comes

down to treading a fine line between protecting one=s health

versus protecting one=s livelihood. Since the end of June, jockeys

Luis Saez, Martin Garcia, Victor Espinoza, Flavien Prat, Gerard

Melancon and Eduard Rojas Fernandez have all been added to

the fast-growing list of North American riders who have publicly

acknowledged positive tests for COVID-19. On Tuesday morning

those reinsmen were joined by Florent Geroux, who posted on

Twitter and subsequently told TDN he got a positive coronavirus

test on July 13 and is symptom-free, but now self-quarantining

at home. Los Alamitos Race Course, which raced from June 26

through July 5, was a common-denominator site among at least

five of those positives, including Saez, Garcia, Espinoza and Prat,

who all rode at the southern California track July 4. Cont. p3

GEROUX LATEST JOCKEY TO TEST POSITIVE

FOR COVID-19 by Bill Finley

Jockey Florent Geroux has joined a growing list of prominent

jockeys who have tested positive for the coronavirus.

Geroux was scheduled to ride Wednesday at Canterbury Park

and had to take a test before he would be allowed to ride there.

He took the test Monday and came up positive.

AI don=t really have any symptoms,@ Georux said. AI was a little

bit tired Monday, but I had a long week last week. I didn=t have

any shortness of breath or anything like that.@

In less than a week, jockeys Luis Saez, Martin Garcia, Victor

Espinoza, Flavien Prat, Eduard Rojas Fernandez and now Geroux

have tested positive.

Other than Geroux, the jockeys all rode at Los Alamitos and

Saez, Garcia, Espinoza and Prat all rode at the Southern

California track July 4. Cont. p9

Saratoga Racecourse | Sarah Andrew

Surge in Jockey Positives..cont. from p1

Some of those virus-positive jockeys then collectively went on

to ride at Belmont Park, Del Mar Thoroughbred Club, Keeneland

Race Course, Indiana Grand and Prairie Meadows before

learning of their positive tests.

The New York Racing Association (NYRA), which is scheduled

to open the Saratoga Race

Course meet on Thursday,

weighed in on Tuesday with

the most prominent change

in protocols in response to

the COVID-19 uptick.

In a press release, NYRA

announced that AUntil

further notice, Saratoga

Race Course will be closed

to out-of-town jockeys. In

addition, any member of

the regular NYRA jockey

colony who travels to ride

at any other racetrack will

not be permitted to return

to Saratoga Race Course.@

On the opposite coast, at

Del Mar, most of the local

jockey colony underwent newly required COVID-19 testing on

Tuesday morning, according to Darrell Haire, the western

regional manager of the Jockeys' Guild.

Haire told TDN there are ongoing Aheavy discussions@ between

jockeys and track management about additional protocol

adjustments that could be put in place before the next day of

racing July 17.

Also Tuesday, updated health precautions and jockey

movement restrictions were unveiled by the Maryland Jockey

Club, the Ohio State Racing Commission, and Ellis Park.

AIt=s so fluid right now,@ Terence Meyocks, the president and

chief executive officer of the Jockeys' Guild, told TDN. ANot only

in New York, but the rest of the country with what=s developed

in the last 72 hours. We thought we had protocols in place, but

then there were more positives.@

Meyocks said that the non-uniform handling of coronavirus

protocols from track to track is yet another example of how the

industry=s fragmented, state-by-state regulatory structure

complicates an already complex and dangerous situation.

AAs I=ve said before, our industry doesn=t work well together,@

Meyocks said. AAnd this is one case where [protocols] need to

work and we=ve all got to be on the same page. It=s not only the

jocks, but the backside, the grooms, the horsemen, and

everybody back there. It=s very difficult with people close

together.

AAs we=re finding out, jocks are very essential,@ Meyocks said.

AAnd at some tracks, they don=t think so. Again, there=s no

leadership in our industry to say you=ve got to do X, Y, and Z.

That=s a shame, and that=s why we=re at where we=re at today.

AWe need minimal standards,@ Meyocks said. AIt doesn=t have

to be the extent that Santa Anita went through [with jockeys

mandated to live on-site in

trailers during racing

days]. But there have to

be minimum standards.

We=ve been working on

this since March. I don=t

know if people just got lax

or just didn=t think it was

needed.

ANobody should be

allowed in the jocks= room

[without having passed

standardized protocols],@

Meyocks said. ANot only

for jockeys, but the clerk

of scales, the assistant

clerk of scales, the [silks]

person. Everybody in the

jocks= room should be

tested and [kept] spread apart. At Gulfstream, they had seven

different places [for personnel]. Keeneland had six the other

day.@

Meyocks continued: AWe talk about social distancing. Spread

out the room--no steam room, no sauna. And tracks haven=t

done it. I=m not going to name names [of non-compliant tracks],

but you just can=t do it that way. There have to be minimum

standards if they want to continue racing.@

Haire said that on the SoCal circuit, where the riders have

shifted from Santa Anita to Los Al to Del Mar over the course of

about a month, the protocols for riders and testing were not

standardized.

Haire said at Santa Anita, jockeys were mandated to be tested

every Wednesday. There was no testing at the Los Al meet, he

said, just required masking and social distancing. At Del Mar,

Haire said coronavirus testing for jockeys just began several days

ago after the meet had already started July 10 without that

requirement.

AAs we speak, the riders were just tested at Del Mar, so

they=re taking the precautions now because of what happened,@

Haire said Tuesday. AAnd right now, the riders, for the last two

mornings, haven=t been getting on horses at Del Mar. That was a

policy from Del Mar, and we=ve been back and forth working

closely with them to make it as safe as possible for the riders."

David O=Rourke | Adam Coglianese

Cont.

In New York, the Saratoga restrictions are aimed at proactively

warding off virus penetration into the riding colony before the

meet begins.

AOut-of-town jockeys that are not currently riding at another

racetrack may be considered for inclusion in the regular NYRA

jockey colony provided the jockey does not ride at another

racetrack beginning on

Thursday, July 16,@ the

NYRA release stated.

AAny jockey that rides at

a racetrack outside of

Saratoga beginning

Thursday, July 16, will be

considered an out-of-town

jockey and will not be

permitted at Saratoga

Race Course,@ the release

explained.

"These measures

prioritize the health and

safety of the jockeys

competing in New York,

and are designed to

combat the spread of

COVID-19," NYRA

president and CEO Dave O'Rourke said. AUnfortunately, the

restrictive travel policies implemented today have become

necessary as cases continue to rise in states across the country."

According to the release, the 22 active jockeys currently listed

in the first condition book constitute the Aregular NYRA jockey

colony@ that form the basis of the restrictions (read the list

here).

In determining return-to-ride protocols, the release stated

ANYRA will follow current Centers for Disease Control and New

York State Health Department guidance when determining the

return of a jockey who has tested positive for COVID-19. This

process will include a period of quarantine determined by the

severity of the individual case followed by a series of diagnostic

tests to rule out ongoing infection. NYRA will consider allowing a

jockey to resume racing or training activities on NYRA property

only when his or her physician has provided clearance to do so.@

In response to the new Saratoga protocols, Meyocks told TDN,

AI wouldn=t say we totally endorsed it, but at the same time we

accepted that it was something that needed to be done. We had

a conversation [with NYRA on Monday] night, and under the

current circumstances we accept it.@

The NYRA release stated that the Saratoga jockeys= quarters

Ahave been substantially altered to provide maximum social

distancing and reduce density@ and that all common areas Ahave

been closed and will remain closed through the end of the meet.

AJockeys and valets are not permitted access to the barn area.

In order to work a horse in the morning, the jockey must meet

the horse in the paddock and can then proceed to the main

track,@ the release continued.

With regard to steeplechase races at Saratoga, NYRA explained

that the separate colony of jump riders Awill be completely

isolated from the regular

NYRA jockey colony in a

physically separate

location. Following that

day's steeplechase race,

which will be carded as

race one, the steeplechase

jockeys will depart the

property.@

In addition to the

protocols specific to

jockeys, the NYRA release

stated that AAll personnel

working at Saratoga Race

Course in any capacity are

required by NYRA to

produce a negative

COVID-19 test in order to

access the property. This

policy is inclusive of jockeys, valets, NYRA employees, trainers

and their staff, outside vendors and credentialed media.@

Beyond the immediate health aspects of the NYRA restrictions,

there will be some near-term disruptions to the business of

booking mounts.

For example, Irad Ortiz Jr., currently based in New York, was

scheduled to ride GI Belmont S. runner-up Dr Post (Quality

Road) in Saturday=s GI Haskell S. at Monmouth Park. The

showcase day of racing in New Jersey annually lures top New

York riders for the afternoon.

Ortiz=s agent, Steve Rushing, told TDN that his in-demand rider

would instead remain at Saratoga.

AIt=s very disappointing that we=re not going to be able to go

out of town to ride a very nice and promising 3-year-old,@

Rushing said. ABut unfortunately, we can=t miss the entire

Saratoga meet [to do so]. I think to protect our business, but

more importantly, the health of all the jockeys, I think every

track should take the same precautions and protocols and do

the same thing. It=s wise that if you have one jockey colony with

a few positives, at least it will be contained to that one jockey

colony. It=s not going to spread over multiple tracks. So I think

[NYRA=s policy] is absolutely the right thing to do to try and

contain this."

Tuesday=s session topper, Hip 15 | Judit Seipert

If the sport soon defaults to a Apick your track and stay there@

mandate for jockeys, the question of who gets to ride which

lucrative mounts in the Sep. 5 GI Kentucky Derby at Churchill

Downs becomes the burning question.

AThe way this pandemic is going, it changes every hour, so to

try to predict what=s going to happen in seven weeks is

obviously impossible,@ Rushing said. AWe=ll just have to deal with

whatever decision they come up with. But I think it=s very

possible that [jockeys getting shut out of Derby mounts] could

happen.@

Meyocks said the pandemic situation is too slippery to try and

grasp what might happen with Derby riding privileges.

ATo be determined,@ Meyocks said when asked what an

early-September scenario might look like. AThat will be revisited.

[Plans like the one at Saratoga] are to get us through right now.@

BUSINESSLIKE OPENER TO OBS JULY SALEby Jessica Martini & Christie DeBernardis

With attendance at the sales grounds down dramatically, but

internet bidding brisk, the Ocala Breeders= Sales Company=s July

2-Year-Olds and Horses of

Racing Age Sale opened

with a workmanlike session

Tuesday in Central Florida.

AIt was a solid start,@ said

OBS Director of Sales Tod

Wojciechowski. AObviously

we had some nice horses

go through the ring and sell

well. It was a little slow

early on in the day, but I

thought it leveled out. We

are dealing with strange

times, that=s for sure,

certainly the COVID

situation is a factor. I think

it will get better as we go.@

A total of 147 juveniles

sold Tuesday for a gross of

$4,788,800. The average

was $32,577 and the median was $13,000. Of the 360 horses

catalogued for the session, 224 went through the ring and 147

sold. With 77 head reported not sold at the close of business,

the buy-back rate was 34.4%.

At last year=s opening session of the June sale, 204 head

grossed $6,119,500 for an average of $29,998 and a median of

$17,500. With the inclusion of post-sale transactions, the buy-

back rate was 22.4%.

Just a few hips into the three-day sale, bloodstock agent

Donato Lanni secured the session=s top-priced lot, going to

$375,000 for a daughter of Shackleford from the Coastal Equine

consignment. The juvenile was one of 10 to sell for six figures on

the day, matching the number from the opening session of the

2019 June sale.

OBS introduced online bidding at its Spring Sale last month and

buyers are taking advantage of that platform in greater numbers

each day, according to Wojciechowski.

AWe saw an uptick even from yesterday to today in the

number of online bidding registrations,@ said Wojciechowski.

AWe sold 15 horses online today and the internet was the direct

underbidder on 16 horses. Sixty-four different horses were bid

on via the internet and we had almost 200 bids that were made

via the internet.@

Ocala Stud sold three lots Tuesday, including a colt by Not This

Time who was the day=s fourth-highest offering. The operation=s

David O=Farrell said just being able to have a sale was a win.

AI think the fact we are having a sale is paramount,@ O=Farrell

said. AWe sold three horses today and all three have been sold

over the internet. I think

the internet process has

caught on. It certainly

could be a lot better. It is a

difficult sale, but I am of

the belief it could be a

whole lot worse.@

The buying bench at the

OBS Spring sale was

marked by diminished

participation from Korean

and Puerto Rican interests

typically active and a key

to strengthening the

middle to lower end of the

market. Both regions were

represented on the results

sheets Tuesday, with the

Confederacion Hipica de

PR, Inc. purchasing 15 lots in the $3,000 to $30,000 range. The

Korean-based K.O.I.D., Co. purchased three lots on the day.

The OBS July sale continues through Wednesday with sessions

beginning daily at 10 a.m.

Hip 115 | Sandra Madison

Lanni Strikes Early for Shackleford Filly The OBS July sale was only minutes old when bloodstock agent

Donato Lanni bid a session-topping $375,000 to acquire a filly by

Shackleford (hip 15) on behalf of an undisclosed client.

Consigned by Jesse Hoppel=s Coastal Equine on behalf of

breeder Jim Doyle, the bay filly worked the day=s quarter-mile

bullet of :20 4/5 during last week=s under-tack show.

AShe was easy to fall in love with,@ Lanni said. AShe=s pretty

awesome. She worked great, galloped out great and she came

back from the work great. I knew she was going to cost a little

bit because she did everything right. These horses are asked to

do a lot--something they=ve never done before and will never

have to do again--but when certain horses do it right, there are

going to be fireworks at the end of it. She=s one I wanted to get

and I=m glad I got her.@

Lanni said a trainer for the filly had yet to be determined.

Hip 15 is out of Peace Queen (Indian Charlie), a half-sister to

multiple graded stakes winner Tizaqueena (Tiznow), and one of

two broodmares owned by the New York-based Doyle whose

brother Larry Doyle owns KatieRich Farms. Jim Doyle purchased

the mare for $10,000 at the 2013 Fasig-Tipton New York Fall

Mixed Sale. The breeder will offer a filly by Dialed In out of

Collusion (hip 542) through the Coastal Equine consignment

Wednesday at OBS. @JessMartiniTDN

Malibu Moon Filly to Miller A filly by Malibu Moon (hip 115) was the second-highest priced

offering at OBS Tuesday, selling to bloodstock agent Patti Miller

of EQB, Inc. for $350,000. Miller was acting on behalf of an

undisclosed client. Consigned by Wavertree Stables on behalf of

Joe Minor=s JSM Equine, the chestnut filly worked a furlong last

week in :10 flat.

AShe is just a lovely filly,@ Miller said. AShe was one that caught

my eye the first day. My business partner [Jeff Seder] does the

high-speed film analysis and she was just a beautiful mover. And

I thought physically she was outstanding. She didn=t look like the

kind of filly who would go in :10 flat and she kept right on going.

She went out in :20 and change. She did it all so well and then

just exhaled and walked back to the barn.@

While declining to say which trainer the filly will go to, Miller

did say, AShe is going to have a very good young trainer who is

really up and coming. She is going to the right people which is

really rather exciting.@

Miller said she was staying busy in Ocala and taking advantage

of a buyer=s market.

AI think, where the market was last year, this filly would have

been twice that much,@ Miller said. ABut I think the market is

running at 50% or less and there are a lot of nice horses here. I

just think it=s a good buyer=s market at all levels right now. That=s

why I=m running around like I am.@

Hip 115 is out of Samsational (Unbridled=s Song), a half-sister

to Grade I winner I Want Revenge (Stephen Got Even). Minor

purchased the filly for $125,000 at last year=s Fasig-Tipton

October Yearling Sale and was originally planning to race the

youngster.

AWe had her sister last year and really liked her,@ said

Wavertree=s Ciaran Dunne. AThis filly had a few niggling little

things that made her look like she=d be a better racehorse

prospect than a pinhook prospect. So Joe bought her to race. He

changed his mind this spring and decided maybe he=d try her at

the 2-year-old sales. At that point it was too late to get her in

any of the earlier sales, so she ended up here. And the time

probably did her the world of good. She=s a big filly who

probably wants to go two turns at the end of the day.@

Minor purchased the filly=s dark bay full-sister Portofina for

$147,000 at the 2018 Fasig-Tipton July Yearling Sale.

Of the decision to work hip 115 a furlong instead of a quarter-

mile during last week=s under-tack show, Dunne added, AWe

worked everything eighths because it was so hot, between

standing in the chute and everything else, we decided to work

everything eighths.@ @JessMartiniTDN

Honor Code Colt to Speedway Stable Peter Fluor and Kane Weiner=s Speedway Stable added a colt

by Honor Code to its roster when bloodstock agent Marette

Farrell made a final bid of $340,000 to acquire hip 200 from

Stori Atchison=s Dark Star Thoroughbreds consignment Tuesday

in Ocala. The juvenile, who will be trained by Bob Baffert,

worked a quarter in :21 2/5 during last week=s under-tack show.

SESSION TOPPERS

OBS cont.

AI thought his breeze was flawless,@ Farrell said of the dark bay

colt. AFor a big horse, he was so light on his feet. I went back to

the barn pretty much straight away and loved him at the barn.

He was so classy and so collected. He just had an air about him

that I really liked. They said when they bought him [as a

yearling] he was very immature and the time did him well,

turned him into a man.@

Of the colt=s final price tag, Farrell said, AWe were obviously

hoping for less, and at one point, I think in the $200,000s, I

thought I had him. We were in the back, but someone in the

front was quite resilient.@

Atchison was selling the colt on behalf of clients who

purchased him for $28,000 at last year=s Keeneland September

sale.

AI have had him since March,@ Atchison said. ARight from the

beginning we just knew he was a star, from his presence to his

talent and his kindness, he was the whole package. We=ve

always thought he was very special.@

Atchison has been consigning under the Dark Star banner for

eight years now and the colt=s $340,000 price tag was a high-

water mark for the operation.

AI went to work for Ricky Leppala straight out of college and

I=ve been doing this ever since,@ she said. AI mostly pinhook my

own horses, but I also do a handful of client horses.@

Of her personal best result, Atchison said, AIt feels really good.

It=s a tough market and he jumped through all of the hoops and

made everybody money.@

Hip 200 is out of Storm Hearted (Lion Hearted), who was

purchased as a 2-year-old by Lee and Susan Searing=s CRK

Stables for $240,000 at the 2004 Barretts March sale. While the

mare was winless in nine starts for the Searings, she is the dam

of multiple stakes winner Wake Up Nick (Cindago) and her colt

by Curlin sold for $950,000 at the 2017 OBS March sale.

The Searings campaign another son of Honor Code, GI Santa

Anita Derby winner Honor A. P., who they purchased for

$850,000 at the 2018 Fasig-Tipton Saratoga Yearling Sale.

@JessMartiniTDN

Another Not this Time Succeeds at OBS

A filly by Not This Time topped the OBS Spring Sale at $1.35-

million and two other surpassed the $500,000 mark. Another

member of the young stallion=s first crop found success in the

OBS sales ring during the July Sale when Hip 103 brought

$250,000 from Mike Hall=s Breeze Easy Tuesday.

Breezing in :21 1/5 for consignor Ocala Stud, the colt was

purchased by Lori and Mark Collinsworth for $62,000 at

Keeneland September.

AThey are Carlos Martin's clients,@ Ocala Stud=s David O=Farrell

said. AHe is new in the business. He is from Texas. This is his first

foray into the business. We are every happy with the result. The

horse did exceptionally well.@

Bred by Woods Edge Farm, Hip 103 is out of the unraced Cape

Town mare Running Creek, who is also responsible for MSW

Softly Lit (Latent Heat) and MSP Venice Queen (Latent Heat).

The bay colt=s second dam is GSW Palliser Bay (Frosty the

Snowman), dam of GSW & GISP He Loves Me (Not For Love) and

MSW For Kisses (Not For Love). In addition to his success at OBS,

Not This Time was also represented by three six-figure juveniles

at the Fasig-Tipton Midlantic Sale. He has also been represented

by three winners on the racetrack thus far.

AObviously, Not This Time has caught fire during this 2-year-old

sales season,@ O=Farrell said. AThis colt has done extremely well.

He was catalogued in March, but he was slightly immature then.

With all the uncertainty with COVID-19 starting to happen right

before the March sale, we decided to wait on the horse and give

him a little time to see how the Coronavirus played out.

Fortunately, Not This Time caught fire. COVID-19 stuck around,

but the horse did really well and a good horse sells really well.

We are really happy for the owner.@ --@CDeBernardisTDN

KY RACING COMMISSION SHOOTS DOWN

DUTROW ATTEMPT TO BE REINSTATED

by Bill Finley

Suspended trainer Rick Dutrow's attempts to resume his

career were dealt a blow Tuesday by the Kentucky Horse Racing

Commission's License Review Committee. After hearing from

Dutrow and others who testified on his behalf, the committee

voted unanimously to allow Dutrow to withdraw his application

for a license. It was within the committee's right to grant Dutrow

a license, with or without conditions. Dutrow's attorney, Karen

Murphy, reluctantly agreed and withdrew the application for

the license. Dutrow was suspended for 10 years in 2011 by New

York regulators for what it alleged was a long history of racing

violations. He fought off the suspension in the courts for nearly

two years before exhausting his appeals and began taking his

penalty in 2013. Along the way, Dutrow has picked up a number

of supporters, many of whom believed the penalty was far too

harsh and that Dutrow was targeted because of his brash

personality. There have also been allegations that syringes

found in Dutrow's barn were planted. Those allegations have

been made by former New York Gaming Commission steward

Stephen Lewandowski, who was among those who testified

Tuesday on Dutrow's behalf. Murphy brought the case to

Kentucky after her attempts to have the case revisited in New

York failed. Had Dutrow been given a license, he would have

been able to train in Kentucky but likely would have remained

suspended in New York until 2023. After hearing the decision,

Murphy was clearly upset.

"I can't tell you how disappointed I am," she told the

committee. "Can I ask you all a question? There was nothing

persuasive in everything we supplied to you? I don't know what

you want. I don't know what you considered. I don't know what

you found. I don't know what you found so unpersuasive that

you took this action, which I find to be profoundly disappointing.

I'd like an answer."

Murphy was told by chair Ken Jackson that it was the

committee's policy not to comment on its rulings once they had

been made. Appearing on the teleconference, Dutrow, 60,

pleaded with the committee to allow him to resume training. He

was emotional, talked in a shaky voice and appeared to be near

tears.

"The racetrack means everything to me, my family," he said.

"It's just really been a hard time with this. Just watching from

afar and saying, >Man, I used to do this. Why am I not doing it

anymore?' I have a had a hard time with that. Since I have been

away I have had a chance to reflect on things and look at myself.

I know that I am part of the problem. There's no question about

that but I have done a lot of time for this. I just need an

opportunity to train horses. That's all I want to do. That's all I've

ever wanted to do. I'm sorry to take up all your time and cause

all this stuff, but I just need to train horses. Please."

Trainer Dale Romans was the first to testify for Dutrow and

said New York racing officials were out to get his fellow trainer.

"I cannot sit on the sidelines and let this happen to one of my

colleagues because what will ever stop it from happening to

me?" Romans said. "In the racing world we are so concerned

about integrity, and it is important to the game. But you also

have to have integrity for people who work in the game. What

this boils down to is a vendetta in New York. With all the

evidence that is obvious."

Veterinarian Dr. Larry Bramlage testified that he had found

Dutrow to be someone who took excellent care of his horses

and had an impressive record when it came to safety.

"My experience with Rick is simply how he treats these

horses," Bramlage said. "His approach to training is impeccable.

He never takes short cuts with anything. He always goes with

the best alternative for the horse. He never sacrifices a horse's

welfare to try to win a purse before something becomes clinical.

His record on lack of fatalities speaks to that and to his approach

for training the horse. I'm a big fan of how he approaches

training the race horse."

By allowing Dutrow to withdraw his application it will not go

on his record that he had a license application denied. That

could make it slightly easier for him to win reinstatement in

another state, but he and his legal team are running out of

options. Kentucky is off the table for now and New York does

not seem inclined to even look into Dutrow's case. Finding a

racing commission that would go against those two states would

likely be difficult. In a recent story in the New York Daily News

on Dutrow's fight to be reinstated, it was reported that Dutrow

has lost his home and filed for bankruptcy.

Cont. from p1

Geroux does not know where and when he got the virus, but

speculated that it might have happened Thursday at Keeneland

when he dressed in the same room as Saez. Saez took a test

Thursday, and when the results came back positive, the next day

he was removed from all his mounts after the second race.

Geroux said he has returned home and has begun his

quarantine period.

AI=m looking at the bright side of this,@ he said. AIt could be a lot

worse.@

Geroux added, AThere are so many people in hospitals with

this that are hooked up to respiratory machines.@

Geroux normally rides at Saratoga, but has decided to make

Ellis Park his main base of operation for the remainder of the

summer.

Saez and Geroux are two examples of riders who have

crisscrossed the country of late only to wind up with the

coronavirus, raising fears that traveling jockeys may be

spreading the virus from track to track. Shortly before his

positive test, Saez rode at Belmont, Los Alamitos, Indiana Grand

and Keeneland. Prat rode at Del Mar Friday and at Keeneland

Saturday. Geroux rode at Keeneland Friday, at Belmont Saturday

and back at Keeneland on Sunday and was scheduled to fly out

to Canterbury before returning to Ellis Friday.

Some tracks have put rules in place that only regular local

jockeys can compete and there is a growing sentiment for more

tracks to do the same. Geroux said the main problem with doing

that would mean that it could prohibit out-of-town riders from

coming in during the week of the GI Kentucky Derby.

APeople are saying what about Saratoga, that Kentucky jocks

or California jocks should not be allowed to go to Saratoga,@ he

said. AMaybe not, but what do you for Derby week? Should only

the regular jockeys in Kentucky be allowed to ride?@

TDN HEADLINE NEWS • PAGE 10 OF 15 • THETDN.COM WEDNESDAY • JULY 15, 2020

Mike Levy

Cont.

Geroux continued, AWe welcomed everybody at Churchill

[during the spring meet] and all the jockeys from New York

came there to ride. At Keeneland last weekend, all the jockeys

from New York came to ride their big horses at Keeneland and

no one put a stop on that. So why shouldn=t Kentucky and

California jockeys be able to ride in Saratoga? If they can=t, only

the Kentucky colony should be allowed to ride Derby week.@

ELLIS UPDATES COVID-19 PROTOCOLS Ellis Park Racing & Gaming has increased track and racing

protocols/testing requirements, effective immediately. All

jockeys and valets must have a negative COVID-19 test result

taken prior to being admitted to Ellis Park. Once a negative test

is reported, they will not need additional testing unless they

leave the local area, Kentucky or ride/race at another racetrack.

All backside entrants, including jockeys who do leave the local

area or the state of Kentucky after their initial test, will be

required to provide a negative COVID-19 test result taken within

48 hours before being re-admitted to Ellis Park.

All ship-ins will be directed to the receiving barn/assigned stall

and horsemen directed to the receiving barn may not enter any

other area of the barn area except the track kitchen for

carry-out food only. Same day result testing is available in the

Henderson area, however, appointments must be made in

advance. For more information or a reservation, visit

www.firstcareclinics.com or call 270-854-3196.

For more information about Ellis Park=s new cleaning and

safety protocols, please visit www.ellisparkracing.com.

2020 WV DERBY CANCELLED In a reversal from an earlier announcement, the Aug. 1 West

Virginia Derby program at Mountaineer Park has been cancelled.

Changes in West Virginia=s COVID-19 policy and the logistics of

shippers, both equine and human, prompted the change. The

regular racing program, which had already been scheduled to be

conducted without patrons, will not be affected.

INDIANA RACING COMMISSION APPROVES

TRANSFER IN OWNERSHIP OF TRACKS The Indiana Horse Racing Commission (IHRC) approved the

IHRC. AThis hand-in-hand partnership between the IHRC,

horsemen and racetracks is necessary to succeed in moving

Indiana racing to the next level.@

THE SHOW MUST GO ON FOR NEW

VOCATIONS by Katie Ritz

While most organizations, racing or otherwise, experienced a

stagnation in business during the midst of the Coronavirus shut-

down, Thoroughbred aftercare programs confronted quite the

opposite.

When racing in most states was a giant question mark for

months on end, for many horses that would have otherwise

stayed in training throughout the spring season, the decision

was made to enter them into retirement.

Since the first of the year, New Vocations Racehorse Adoption

Program has brought in 240 horses to their rehabilitation and

rehoming program, a 23% increase from last year=s statistics.

Thankfully, they=ve also seen an influx in their adoptions,

which are up 34% this year compared to 2019.

Despite a global pandemic, the show had to go on at New

Vocations. And every show requires funding.

For nearly two decades, the respected aftercare organization

has held an All-Thoroughbred Charity Horse Show in an effort to

raise money for the general operation of their eight facilities

which serve over 40 racetracks throughout the country.

AThe New Vocations All-Thoroughbred Charity Horse Show is

something that we=ve been doing since 2003,@ said Andrea

Mandella, New Vocations= Director of Development and Donor

Relations. AThe first show was at Turfway Park. It has grown into

a really big event that we now do every year in September here

at the Kentucky Horse Park.@

The show has turned into New Vocations= largest annual

fundraiser, bringing in $117,000 last year.

The five-day event featured 452 Thoroughbreds from over 26

states, some traveling from as far as Oregon, California, and

Texas.

Class divisions include hunters, jumpers, equitation, dressage,

as well as western and driving. AWar Horse@ classes are available

to any retired racehorse that started over 50 times, or earned

over $100,000. The Jockey Club=s Thoroughbred Incentive

Program (T.I.P.) also holds their annual championships in

conjunction with the event.

This year, the show is scheduled for Sept. 3-6, dates that have

been set on the calendar well before the Coronavirus forced the

rescheduling of the GI Kentucky Derby for Sept. 5.

And while the New Vocations team is said they were looking

forward to their annual event, and excited about showcasing the

Derby festivities on the big screen of the Rolex arena, they first

need to find the capital to make the show possible.

AWe=re struggling to find funding in the current climate with

COVID,@ Mandella said. ARight now our sponsorships are down

50%.@

Mandella said that the money raised during the show goes to

the organization=s general operations fund to provide feed, daily

upkeep, veterinary care, and any other necessities for the

horses in their program. The average cost to rehabilitate,

retrain, and rehome each retired horse through the duration of

their stay is $3,000. Cont. p12

One gelding that has recently gone through the New Vocations

program is now working towards making an appearance at their

annual show.

Gozer the Gozerian, a 4-year-old son of Astrology, was

adopted last year by Leandra Cooper, the facility manager and

trainer at New Vocations= home base in Lexington.

AHe just had a personality that was like a magnet to me,@

Cooper said while giving >Gozer= a pat. AHe was super sweet and

right from the beginning, I knew that he was a horse that I was

drawn to immediately.@

Unplaced in two starts as a juvenile in 2018, Gozer was given

time off last year before starting full-time training for his second

career in December.

AIt became apparent pretty quickly that he liked to jump,@

Cooper said. AHe really likes to work. That=s one of the things

that=s great about ThoroughbredsB they have this work ethic.

They generally really are true athletes where they like to be in a

program. They like to have challenges and he certainly is no

exception to that.@

As Gozer continues to progress in his training, Cooper has her

eyes set on looking to taking her gelding to the show in

September.

AOur big target this year will be the New Vocations All-

Thoroughbred Charity Horse Show,@ she said. AWe=re really

looking forward to competing at this show because it=s so

unique to have something where you=re competing against all

Thoroughbreds. Especially in an atmosphere of such grandiosity

where you=re able to be in the Rolex Ring, something you dream

of competing in since you=re a kid, and here we are able to have

the opportunity to compete with all these other

Thoroughbreds.@

Both Cooper and Mandella spoke of the unique atmosphere

the show has developed.

AIt=s really amazing to be able to take horses that come off the

track with several different career paths,@ Mandella said. ASome

of them were competitive and winners, some were unraced,

and some just weren=t interested in racing and have gone into

second careers and all of a sudden they=re excelling. So

everyone has a different, unique story, which makes it amazing

to watch 400 of them out there doing their thing. And that=s

what we strive to provide for them.@

Cooper agreed. AIt feels fun and inclusive, and it=s amazing to

see all the different levels that these horses are able to compete

at and all the different varieties. The people are really

committed to the breed and it=s just a celebration, in so many

different ways, of their accomplishments. It=s a neat show, and

it=s the only one like it.@

The team behind the popular event is pushing now more than

ever to find sponsors. While donations can be accepted at any

time, the deadline to have a sponsorship recognized in the

program is Friday, July 17.

ATypically our donors come from all over the country,@

Mandella said. AThey=re Thoroughbred owners and breeders,

people who have adopted through our program and are

showing their horses at the event, and people within the

industry that support us, like veterinarians and feed suppliers.@

The majority of sponsorships range anywhere from $100 to

become a class sponsor, to $50,000 to be the title show sponsor.

A number of different sponsorship opportunities are available at

a variety of differing donations.

Mandella said that the average cost to rehabilitate, retrain,

and rehome a retired horse through the duration of their stay in

the New Vocations program is $3,000.

AWe=re hoping that our previous sponsors and maybe some

new ones will decide to get involved and help us continue to put

on this show that we find so important,@ Mandella said.

AIt gives us the ability to illustrate how these horses go from

the racetrack to a second career. To put them all together and

let them compete against each other is a really awesome event.@

DOUG CAUTHEN As anyone not under a rock is noticing, COVID-19

hospitalizations and infections are on the rise across the

country, and this tragedy is causing renewed shutdowns and

concurrent economic damage to many businesses and families.

As everyone is learning, a positive step towards avoiding

rollbacks and future shutdowns is to wear a mask and socially

distance, and to accept and follow protocols which are put in

place to screen event attendees. In order to have a successful

horse auction in Kentucky, the creation of effective safety

protocols have been in the works for months, and after having

recently attended the Fasig-Tipton HORA sale at their complex

on Newtown Pike, I can enthusiastically endorse the sensible

and practical protocols that were in place there. Temperatures

were checked; names and numbers were recorded; health and

travel questions were asked and answered; masks were

required for attendance; and if you passed the test, wristbands

were distributed--all in less than two minutes per car.

This was a great test run for everyone to experience in

preparation for the September sales at both Fasig-Tipton and

Keeneland. A key point every industry participant should

consider as they, hopefully, support these protocols is that more

buyers will attend our Kentucky sales and support our local

economy when they know that it=s a safe environment. It=s not a

political issue whether people should wear a mask, socially

distance, and sanitize their hands--it=s an economic issue. A

safer venue means more buyers will likely show up and spend

more money, so kudos to Fasig-Tipton for getting it right! And I

would be remiss for also not applauding the fact that Keeneland

is collaborating to have similarly effective protocols in place for

their September sale, and just completed a successful five-day

meet that handled $63 million. Well done!

2020 ROBERT G. DICK MEMORIAL OFFICIALLY

DOWNGRADED In accord with American Graded Stakes Committee policy, the

July 11 GIII Robert G. Dick Memorial S., scheduled for the

Delaware Park turf course but switched to the main track, was

automatically downgraded to listed status and was conducted as

a listed stakes race. The American Graded Stakes Committee has

reviewed the off-the-turf renewal and has determined that the

original Grade III status will be not reinstated for the 2020

renewal. It is the policy of the American Graded Stakes

Committee that a race that is scheduled for the turf course,

but is moved to the dirt track after the closing of nominations

because the turf course is unsuitable for racing, is automatically

downgraded one level for that running only.

THOROFAN OFFERS DIGITAL SADDLE TOWEL GUIDE ThoroFan has released a 2020 Guide to Saratoga Race Course

Trainers' Saddle Towels, available at www.thorofan.com. The

guide also offers pages of educational materials on the process

for preparing a horse for the races. The ThoroFan 2020 Guide

has been adapted to a digital platform as a result of the

coronavirus pandemic.

Pine Grove Cabins

NY RACE TRACK CHAPLAINCY & SARATOGA

COMMUNITY UNITE FOR BACKSTRETCH FAMILIES

Nick Caras, Programs Director of the NY Race Track Chaplaincy,

Kim Weir, a Saratoga Volunteer Coordinator, and Mark Kehrer,

Pastor of Revelation Church, have organized a small army of

volunteers and sponsors from the Saratoga Springs community

in recent weeks to improve housing conditions for backstretch

families who have traveled to Saratoga for the duration of the

meet. For years, many of the stable workers have stayed at

rudimentary cabins at the Pine Grove Family Camp on Pine Road

in Saratoga Springs. Caras always wanted them to have

something better.

"The sheets in their beds were even turned down, and each

cabin was lovingly prepared," Weir said.

In addition to the sparkling clean conditions, each family

received some special gifts:

$ The Saratoga Chamber of Commerce donated one box of

masks and one bottle of hand sanitizer for each cabin

$ Impressions of Saratoga donated one tote bag full of goodies

to each cabin.

$ Temple Sinai donated one loaf of Challah bread to each cabin

"To see so many different entities within the Saratoga

community come together to help some families they don't

even know was really heartwarming," Weir said. "It was really a

group effort and it couldn't have happened without the

generous and widespread support we received."

Among those who pitched in were: Impressions of Saratoga

(owner Marianne Barker and daughter Maddy Zanetti); The

Dominguez Family; Habitat for Humanity of Northern Saratoga,

Warren, and Washington Counties; The Brown Family; The

Brindle Family; The Lautenberg Family; Saratoga Springs Friends

of Recreation; The Weir Family, The PNECC Social Concerns

Committee, The Saratoga Immigration Coalition, Temple Sinai;

and Friends of Spa City.

"I think this outpouring of support is just another example of

the tight bond that exists between the good people of Saratoga

and the Thoroughbred racing community," Caras said.

"Champions Talk," a virtual benefit for the organization

featuring legendary racecaller Tom Durkin along with Hall of

Fame jockeys Angel Cordero, Jr. and Ramon Dominguez, Terry

Finley of West Point Thoroughbreds, trainer Dale Romans and

Pro Football Hall of Fame and two-time Super Bowl winning

coach and Thoroughbred owner Bill Parcells will premier on

Facebook and YouTube Aug. 5 at 7 p.m.

TRF TO HOST ABBQ AT THE BARN@ FUNDRAISER The Thoroughbred Retirement Foundation (TRF) will host a

re-imagined "TRF BBQ at the Barn" summer fundraiser Tuesday,

Aug. 11 from 4 p.m.-7 p.m. at the Saratoga Winery. This year's

BBQ will be carry-out with a twist. Guests will drive thru the

grounds to enjoy a "TRF Experience" with miniature ponies,

racing celebrities, goodies for the kids, and a special appearance

by Joey, the TRF Herd Ambassador, who will be returning to

Saratoga from the TRF Second Chances Program at Wallkill.

The event will feature food from Barnsider BBQ in Lake

George; a TRF Specialty cocktail created by the Winery; and

locally made pies from Mourningkill Bake Shop. Items will be

individually ordered online for carryout. Proceeds from the

event will benefit the hundreds of TRF horses in the

organization's national herd.

"We are thrilled to be able to welcome back the Thoroughbred

Retirement Foundation for their summer fundraiser this year,"

Amy Greth, Event Director at The Saratoga Winery, said. "Last

year's BBQ was a great success for the foundation and we are

honored they chose us to host again. It has been very exciting

working with TRF over the past few months to come up with

creative ways to keep the momentum going. We look forward to

hosting this event to benefit retired racehorses."

KENTUCKY DERBY MUSEUM CANCELS 34TH

ANNUAL GALA The Kentucky Derby Museum has canceled its 34th annual

Gala, presented by Central Bank & Trust Co.

With the uncertainty of the COVID-19 pandemic, this decision

was made in the interest of public health and in the best interest

of the community.

TDN HEADLINE NEWS • PAGE 15 OF 15 • THETDN.COM WEDNESDAY • JULY 15, 2020

Cont. from p14

Historically, the evening serves as the premier fundraising

event for the Kentucky Derby Museum, a 501(c)(3) non-profit

charitable organization. The rescheduled Gala was slated for

Friday, Aug. 28.

"The pandemic has created a very challenging business

environment, especially for non-profit organizations like the

Kentucky Derby Museum," said Patrick Armstrong, President &

CEO of the Kentucky Derby Museum. "Canceling the Kentucky

Derby Museum Gala means losing our largest fundraiser of the

year, and it will be yet another hardship we must overcome as a

charitable organization. However, we feel certain it is the safest

and correct decision at this time."

Vaucelles | Scoop Dyga

VAUCELLES SWOOPS FORMALLERET SUCCESS

Gerard Augustin-Normand=s twice-raced Vaucelles (Fr) (Le

Havre {Ire}) finished just over six lengths off Tawkeel (GB)

(Teofilo {Ire) when fourth on stakes bow in last month=s G1 Prix

Saint-Alary at Chantilly and took the step forward with a career

high in Tuesday=s G2 Prix de Malleret at ParisLongchamp.

Employing patient tactics racing fourth of five for most of the

12-furlong contest, the May 31 Deauville maiden winner was

rousted into action when the sweeping rally of Oriental

Mystique (GB) (Kingman {GB}) along the false straight forced all

rivals to commit sooner than expected. In pursuit mode off the

home turn, the 23-10 second favourite outbattled Bonne Idee

(GB) (Frankel {GB}) to seal second entering the final furlong and

found another gear in the dying embers to deny the

enterprisingly ridden British challenger by 3/4-of-a-length in the

shadows of the post, while Bonne Idee was chinned on the line

for third by Mozzarella (Fr) (Power {GB}).

AWe made the right decision to bypass the [G1] Prix de Diane

in favour of this race,@ commented winning trainer Pascal Bary.

ATo have gone to Chantilly [for the Diane] would have been too

hard for a filly who had her first start so late and with little

experience. She is a lovely looking sort, she has improved

regularly and has that turn of foot all the good ones have. She=ll

now have another break and will return in the [G1] Prix

Vermeille [back at this venue] in September.@ Cont. p2

HEART=S CRY PICKS UP THE BATONBy Kelsey Riley

While Monday=s yearling session of the JRHA Select Sale in

Hokkaido, Japan, was all about the progeny of Deep Impact

(Jpn), the late great champion sire had no produce in Tuesday=s

foal sessionBhis final crop containing only around 20 foalsBand

thus it was another son of Sunday Silence, Deep Impact=s former

Shadai studmate Heart=s Cry (Jpn), who dominated proceedings

during Tuesday=s foal sale. Heart=s Cry was responsible for the

three highest-priced lots, all sold by Northern Farm and out of

American mares.

Last year=s foal sale had set records for aggregate (-9.78-

billion/,72-million/i80.2-million/$89.8-million) and average

(-50.4-million/,371,286/i413,262/$462,765) and so the fact

that Tuesday=s figures were slightly off from those numbers

during the first foal sale for many years without Deep Impact=s

presence is no disgrace. Cont. p4

TDN EUROPE • PAGE 2 OF 11 • THETDN.COM WEDNESDAY • 15 JULY 2020

Pedigree Notes Vaucelles is the second of four foals and lone performer out of

Listed Prix Finlande and Listed Prix Miss Satamixa placegetter

Vaunoise (Ire) (Teofilo {Ire}), herself full to G3 Centenary Vase

second Setphensons Rocket (Ire) and a half to G3 Prix La Force

third Beauvoir (Ire) (Footstepsinthesand {GB}). The February-

foaled chestnut is a full-sister to the hitherto unraced 2-year-old

colt Vergoncey (Ire), who is in training with Jerome Reynier, and

half to a yearling filly by Caravaggio. Her third dam Moucha (Fr)

(Fabulous Dancer), herself kin to GIII A Gleam H. victress Daloma

(Fr) (Bellypha {Ire}), was runner-up in the Listed Grand Criterium

de Bordeaux and produced GIII Laurel Dash winner Mayoumbe

INTO THE RED Tuesday=s depleted G2 Prix Maurice de Nieuil was set up

perfectly for Red Verdon (Lemon Drop Kid) and Ronnie Arculli=s

stalwart duly stretched his rivals outside their comfort zone

under another perfectly-judged ride from one of

ParisLongchamp=s past masters Frankie Dettori. With confidence

high having taken Doncaster=s Listed Grand Cup a month

previously, the chestnut stalked Holdthasigreen (Fr) (Hold That

Tiger) before kicking two out.

Stealing a march on the penalised G2 Prix Vicomtesse Vigier

winner San Huberto (Ire) (Speightstown) and even-money

favourite Called To the Bar (Ire) (Henrythenavigator) there, the

3-1 shot was 1 1/4 lengths ahead of the latter at the line, with a

short neck dividing him and San Huberto.

Pedigree Notes Red Verdon, who had been runner-up in the G1 Grand Prix de

Paris here in 2016 after running fourth in the G1 Irish Derby,

dipped thereafter before regaining his mojo two years later

when runner-up in the G2 Jockey Club S. at Newmarket, G3

Henry II S. at Sandown, G2 Hardwicke S. at Royal Ascot and G3

Glorious S. at Goodwood from May to August. Retaining

enthusiasm and ability into his veteran stage, he had

captured York=s G3 Silver Cup last July and been beaten less than

four lengths when eighth in the G1 Caulfield Cup in October. His

dam is the triple stakes-winning Porto Marmay (Ire) (Choisir

{Aus}), a daughter of Nordicolini (Ire) (Nordico) who is a

half-sister to the 18-times winning multiple Hong Kong

champion River Verdon (Ire) (Be My Native). Her yearling is a

full-brother to Red Verdon, while she also has a colt foal by

Street Boss. Cont. p3

VOLKAN ON FIRE IN FRANCE Godolphin=s Volkan Star (Ire) (Sea the Stars {Ire}) continued

the red-hot streak of Charlie Appleby=s Newmarket team with a

pillar-to-post win in Tuesday=s G3 Prix du Lys at ParisLongchamp.

Fresh from a first black-type score in last month=s Listed Fairway

S. on home turf, the gelded bay denied the three-strong home

defence a Bastille Day success for France, defeating the late bid

of Ketil (Karakontie {Jpn}) by 3/4-of-a-length with Measure of

Time (Ire) (Gleneagles {Ire}) closing strongly to finish a neck

further adrift in third. The well-backed 3-5 favourite was the

sharpest of four into stride and held sway, three off the rail,

through the initial stages of the 12-furlong test. Nudged along to

poach a decisive advantage into the straight, Volkan Star was

not for catching thereafter and stayed on relentlessly under

continued rousting inside the final quarter mile to hold on for a

career high.

AWe were quite confident, on the back of his form at home

and with the step up in distance, that he would run a good

race,@ said winning trainer Charlie Appleby. ABeforehand, it had

always been the plan to go on and set a sensible pace and not

rely on the others. We gelded him because he was not too much

at his business and now he is very easy and straightforward. He

stayed the trip really well, he found more at the end and we are

delighted. I will talk with William [Buick] later to see what he

thinks about the trip and if we should we keep him at one-and-

a-half miles or go further. We will decide what to do in time.@

JRHA Select Foal Sale Cont. from p1

At the close of trade 203 foals had changed hands from 226

offered for a clearance rate of 89.9% that matched last year=s

figure. The aggregate of -8,334-billion

(,61,994,126/i68,162,184/$77,708,299) was off by 14.8%,

while the average of -41,054,187

(,305,607/i335,946/$382,799) was down 18.6%. The median

proved more stable, dipping by just 3.3% to -29-million

(,215,876/i237,282/$270,336).

Teruya Yoshida, owner of Shadai Farm and chairman of the

JRHA, recognized the challenging climate globally and the

absence of Deep Impact.

"I would like to express my sincere thanks to the owners and

trainers for attending the sale during such a challenging period

and for supporting the market," Yoshida said. "The market was

slightly down today and I think the key factor is the absence of

Deep Impact. When Northern Dancer died, the top end of the

bloodstock market in America declined, and same thing

happened here today.

"On the other hand, I believe the quality of mares we have in

Japan is world-class and the quality of horses bred in Japan is

world-class as well. I think the buyers were confident [enough]

to make big investments in the horses we offered." Cont. p5

Yoshida (Jpn) (Heart=s Cry {Jpn}), who will himself have the

opportunity to reinvigorate the Sunday Silence line in the U.S.

having just completed his first season at stud at WinStar Farm in

Kentucky. Yoshida, who proved extremely versatile on the

racecourse while winning Grade Is on both dirt and turf, was

himself a graduate of this sale, having been bought by WinStar

for -94-million (,699,266/i768,826/$876,375) from the

yearling session in 2015. Tuesday=s colt (lot 365) is just the

second progeny of the dam Hilda=s Passion (Canadian Frontier)

to visit the ring, and he was bought by Yoshihisa Ozasa for -380-

million (,2,827,376/i3,108,491/$3,542,793).

Ozasa did not attend the sale but said in a statement through

Racing Manager Morito Kajihara, "I think this is the outstanding

individual in today's catalogue. I was bidding in earnest and am

very happy to buy such a fantastic young horse. I hope he grows

up well and will be in the field of major races in future."

Yoshida is not the only luminary on the page; Hilda=s Passion

herself won the seven furlong GI Ballerina S. at Saratoga and

was bought by Katsumi Yoshida for $1.225 million from Fasig-

Tipton November in 2011. Tuesday=s colt is her eighth foal, and

in addition to Yoshida she is also responsible for the G3 Shinzan

Kinen victress Sanctuaire (Jpn) (Deep Impact {Jpn}).

The Yoshida brothers have made a regular habit of plundering

the auction rings at America=s breeding stock sales for some of

the best-credentialed mares, and that strategy certainly paid

dividends on Tuesday. The year before he had swooped for

Hilda=s Passion, Katsumi Yoshida took home the champion 2-

year-old filly She=s A Tiger (Tale of the Cat) from Fasig-Tipton for

$2.5-million. The GI Del Mar Debutante winnerBwho crossed the

wire a nose ahead of another Katsumi Yoshida recruit, Ria

Antonia (Rockport Harbor) in the 2013 GI Breeders= Cup Juvenile

Fillies before being demoted to second for interferenceBhas

already produced the winning 4-year-old Tigrasha (Jpn) (Deep

Impact {Jpn}), while her 3-year-old filly by Daiwa Major (Jpn) and

2-year-old daughter of Deep Impact are as-yet unraced. She=s A

Tiger=s latest produce, a Heart=s Cry colt (lot 407), was her first

progeny to visit a sale ring and the bay was bought by Masahiro

Noda of Danox Co. Ltd for -270-million

(,2,008,925/i2,208,536/$2,517,987).

"As there are no Deep Impacts on the market anymore, we

decided we would like to buy a very nice foal by Heart's Cry,@

said Yoshiki Okada, racing manager to Masahiro Noda. "Our

team inspected the consignment from Northern Farm and made

a short list of foals by Heart's Cry. He was on the short list and

Mr. Noda selected this one from the list. The mare She's A Tiger,

who was the U.S. champion juvenile filly, is very good-looking

horse and the foal is also good looking. The price was more than

we expected but Mr. Noda did not want to stop bidding."

A Deep Impact half-brother to GI Kentucky Oaks winner

Cathryn Sophia (Street Boss) was the star turn of Monday=s

yearling session, setting a record price for a JRHA yearling of

-510-million (,3,794,400/i4,171,800/$4,756,197). The dam

Sheave (Mineshaft)=s colt foal by Heart=s Cry (lot 383) was in the

spotlight on Tuesday as the third-highest priced foal when

bought by Miwa Holding for -210-million

(,1,562,400/i1,717,766/$1,958,361). Sheave was a private

acquisition by Northern Farm. Cont. p6

Kanaloa Colt An Early Highlight The first $1-million-plus foal of the sale came early in the

session when a Lord Kanaloa (Jpn) colt (lot 316) out of the G1

Premio Lydia Tesio and G2 Oaks d=Italia scorer Final Score (Ire)

(Dylan Thomas {Ire}) fetched -200-million

(,1,488,061/i1,636,565/$1,865,106) from Ryouichi Ootuka.

While many bidders battled it out for remaining heirs to the

Sunday Silence line, OotukaBwho won last year=s G1 Kikuka Sho

with World Premiere (Jpn) (Deep Impact {Jpn})Bsaid he was

taking a different approach.

"This is the pick of the day for me," Ryoichi Ootuka said. "He is

from a very successful female line, which is full of black-type,

and it caught my fancy that he is Sunday Silence free, which

would be a big advantage when he becomes stallion. While the

price is more than I thought, I did not want to miss him."

Final Score=s first two foals are both black-type placed. She is

herself out of the listed-winning Holy Moon (Ire) (Hernando

{Fr}), who produced three consecutive Oaks d=Italia winners in

Cherry Collect (Ire) (Oratorio {Ire}), Charity Line (Ire) (Manduro

{Ger}) and Final ScoreBthe latter two also won the Lydia

TesioBand the Italian Group 3 winner Wordless (Ire) (Rock Of

Gibraltar {Ire}) before throwing her best produce of all, the G1

Yorkshire Oaks and G1 Irish Oaks winner Sea Of Class (Ire) (Sea

The Stars {Ire}).

Lord Kanaloa, who has indeed proven an exciting outcross,

provided another highlight lot in 539, a colt out of G1 VRC Oaks

winner Kirramossa (NZ) (Alamosa {NZ}) bought by Tetsuhide

Kunimoto for -140-million

(,1,041,642/i1,145,777/$1,305,781). A colt out of GI Santa

Anita Oaks winner Crisp (El Corredor) (lot 445) brought -80-

million (,595,360/i654,560/$746,160) from G. Riviere Racing.

Sister To Champion Shines Dual Horse of the Year Kitasan Black (Jpn)Bby Deep Impact=s

full-brother Black Tide (Jpn)--had first-crop yearlings selling on

Monday but it was on Tuesday that he shone brightest with two

foals cracking the top 10. First up was a half-brother to last

year=s champion 2-year-old filly Resistencia (Jpn) (Daiwa Major

{Jpn}) (lot 334) bought by Azabu Shoji for -190-million

(,1,413,980/i1,554,580/$1,771,966), and he was followed by a

colt out of G1 July Cup winner Fleeting Spirit (Ire) (Invincible

Spirit {Ire}) (lot 484) picked up by INZEL Co Ltd for -110-million

(,818,620/i899,896/$1,025,875).

The foal sale featured a filly from the first crop of American

Triple Crown winner Justify (lot 397), and she went the way of

Takeshita Koichi for -80-million

(,595,360/i654,490/$746,049). The chestnut is out of Not

Now Carolyn (Tapit), a daughter of Maryfield (Elusive Quality)

who, like Hilda=s Passion, won the Ballerina S. and has produced

the G2 Futurity S. second in Ireland, Radio Silence (War Front). A

filly from the first crop of Saxon Warrior (Jpn) (lot 323) brought

-41-million (,304,978/i335,421/$382,350) from Miyazaki

Toshiya.

STORE SALES DATES COORDINATED

BETWEEN GOFFS AND TATTERSALLS As the coronavirus pandemic continues, Goffs and Tattersalls

have revised the store sales dates to allow sufficient time for

vendors to quarantine between the Goffs UK Summer Sale and

the Irish Store sales at Goffs and Tattersalls Ireland in

compliance with Irish Government quarantine requirements. A

two week gap between sales in the UK and Ireland has been

agreed to give adequate time for Irish vendors to return from

England and quarantine before they head to Kildare for the

Goffs Land Rover Sale and then to the Tattersalls Ireland Derby

and May Sales at Fairyhouse. The new dates are as follows:

$ Goffs UK Summer Sale in Doncaster--July 27 to 29

$ Goffs Land Rover Sale in Kildare--Aug. 12 to 13

$ Tattersalls Ireland Derby Sale in Fairyhouse BAug. 18 to 19

$ Tattersalls Ireland May Sale in FairyhouseBAug. 20

$ Tattersalls Ireland August NH Sale in FairyhouseBAug. 27 to

28

AThe bloodstock community, like the rest of the world, is

having to adapt and react quickly to an ever evolving situation

caused by this awful pandemic,@ Tattersalls Chariman Edmond

Mahony and Goffs Group Chief Executive Henry Beeby said in a

joint statement. AHowever, we have come together to make

these changes to assist the vendors who have entries in more

than one Goffs and Tattersalls catalogue, and need to attend

several locations. Both companies are mindful of current

government directives and have developed detailed protocols to

ensure the safety and well-being of all attendees at each sales

venue.@

A small number of entries from the Derby and Land Rover

Sales will be allowed at the Goffs UK Summer Sale in a joint

supplementary catalogue, although confined to UK domiciled

stores from either catalogue.

Stevenson, Sporting Life journalist Matt Brocklebank, and

Michael Shinners, Sky Bet/Sporting Life Head of Sports PR.

Tickets for the virtual preview evening, which is supported by

four Richmond enclosure tickets for a day of their choosing

during the 2021 Glorious Goodwood meeting, courtesy of

Goodwood Racecourse. All revenue from ticket sales will go

straight to Racing Welfare. For full details, go to

www.racingwelfare.co.uk.

LAYTOWN CANCELS 2020 CARD The Laytown Races Committee has cancelled the Sept. 1

Laytown race meeting at Laytown strand, Horse Racing Ireland

announced on Tuesday. The decision was made due to the

ongoing coronavirus pandemic and for public health and safety

reasons. All customers that have already purchased tickets and

other hospitality options will receive a full refund.

ALaytown Races is in a unique position as we race under

temporary facilities and our racetrack on the beach is a fantastic

amenity, open to the public,@ said Laytown Races Chairman Joe

Collins. AAs the health and safety of Laytown and Bettystown

residents, sponsors, racegoers, jockeys, trainers, stable staff and

racecourse staff is our number one priority, the committee had

too many concerns about how we could implement social

distancing during racing, especially on the beach and in the

village.

AAfter consultation with all the key stakeholders including the

Gardai, Horse Racing Ireland and the Irish Horseracing

Regulatory Body, the committee reached the very difficult

decision to cancel our 2020 race meeting, but we are already

looking forward to welcoming everyone back to our 2021 race

fixture.@

the bay had to chase hard to get to Go Athletico but managed it

in the final yards for a first black-type win.

AIt=s a nice emotional story for me, with this filly carrying the

colours of Robert Sangster who was one of my father=s clients,@

trainer Nicolas Clement commented. AHis son Sam now has

horses with me and owns this filly in partnership with Mrs.

O=Rourke. She is by Camelot, but her third dam is Marwell and

her dam is by Invincible Spirit so I=m not surprised there is some

speed there. She did not have all the luck on her first two runs

and we knew the quality was there. Sometimes you have to take

gambles and not be conservative and it paid off pretty nicely.

She has run two races in a short period of time, so I=ll freshen

her up and bring her back for the [G2 Prix du] Calvados [at

Deauville].@

MAGICS FORCED BACK AWEEK DUE TO COVID

By Paul Vettise

The volatile COVID-19 situation has forced Magic Millions to

push its National Broodmare Sale and the following series of

auctions on the Gold Coast back seven days following the

fast-moving events of Tuesday.

The Magic Millions National Broodmare Sale was to have

opened next Monday with the weanling, yearling and racehorse

sales to follow and they have now been delayed with selling to

begin on July 27.

The auction house was forced to take this line of action

following coronavirus spikes in New South Wales resulting in the

Queensland Government closing its boarders on Tuesday

morning to anyone from the worst-hit areas.

They included Liverpool, an area close to Inglis= Riverside

Stables where last week=s Australian Weanling Sale was held.

AFollowing the announcements in relation to COVID-19

restrictions, a decision was made by Magic Millions, in

conjunction with stakeholders, to now commence the auction

on July 27,@ Magic Millions Managing Director Barry Bowditch

said. "It=s imperative to our industry we give participants the

best opportunity to attend, the National Sale plays a vital part

on the sales calendar.

"The extra week provides prospective buyers with the

opportunity to research and inspect the catalogue if they are in

a position to do so. Our complex has been confirmed as a

COVID-19 safe venue by health officials and extra measures are

in place to protect all industry participants while focusing

strongly on horse welfare.These new dates are locked in and the

sale will proceed regardless of any change in circumstances."

Unfortunately for Bhima Thoroughbreds, its horses were

already in transit to Queensland when news came through of

the border closure.

AThey left at 7 a.m. this [Tuesday] morning and just after nine

o=clock we saw a press release from the Queensland Premier

that stated anyone that lived or had been in the Liverpool Shire

in the last 14 days would be denied access,@ Mike Fleming said.

AThree of my staff members had been at Riverside. We made a

decision just after 12 o=clock to turn the staff and horses around.

AWe figured there were probably going to be some

complications in its current time slot so we thought we=d bring

them back to the farm and have 24 or 48 hours to regroup to

get back up there if needed.

ASo they had a 12-hour joyride, but with Magic Millions

pushing the sale back seven days it gives all the stud managers,

staff and participants that were at the Inglis sale 14 days out of

Liverpool to attend the sale.@

While it may have been wasted time on the road, Fleming had

no complaint with the move to delay the sale.

AIt was a wise decision and a good decision for the industry if

nothing else happens and we can still go ahead. As we know

with coronavirus it can change day by day, but at this stage we=ll

hopefully be heading back up there next week,@ he said. AThey

are challenging times and we have to regroup. There will be two

or three of our mares that may not travel now because of their

foaling days changing.

AI think from an industry point of view we realise how

important this National Sale is for the trading of bloodstock, the

buying and selling of mares and we need it to happen in one

way, shape or form.

AI have no doubt it=s been a rough day for the Magic Millions

team but their immediate response to find a solution has to be

applauded. Our industry is a resilient one and the leadership

their team has already shown gives me full confidence we=ll get

the show on the road in some format.@

AIt=s not unlike the yearling sale that went online and I would

think that=s in the back of Magic Millions= mind that if things

don=t stay as they are that=s an option they have for a virtual

sale on the online platform.

AI think everyone=s hope is we can have a live sale and back

into a breeding season pretty quickly. I think we=re all hoping

that we get 2020 over with and roll into 2021 because it=s going

to be a lot better year than this one.@

Still at Home Unlike Bhima, Newgate=s horses hadn=t left the Hunter Valley

property as Tuesday=s events played out.

AThe horses are still all here at Newgate. We=re selling around

20 broodmares and seven weanlings, no yearlings,@ Managing

Director Henry Field said. AIt=s back a week and it will be

business as usual. We know whether the horses are sold at a

physical auction or a virtual auction that the job can get done

both ways. These are the cards that we have been dealt and we

will all get on with it and do our best.@

Past sales in this online age had been well-received and served

to show how adaptable and resilient the industry was.

AI think if the worst comes to the worst and it ends up being a

virtual sale we=ll all cope and carry on,@ Field said. APeople have

gone through the process before, they are comfortable with the

process and it will be fine.@
