SKY LANTERN HEADING TO FALMOUTH Sky Lantern (Ire) (Red Clubs {Ire}), impressive winnerof the G1 Coronation S. at Royal Ascot June 21, is setto try her elders for the first time in the G1 EtihadAirways Falmouth S. at Newmarket July 12, providingthe turf rides quick enough, Racing Post reports. "SkyLantern will probably go for the Falmouth, but shewould need fast ground," trainer Richard Hannon told

the publication. Atroubled eighth whenfavored in the GI Breeders= CupJuvenile Fillies Turflast November atSanta Anita, SkyLantern was runner-upin the G3 Nell Gwyn S.at Newmarket on herseasonal debutApr. 17 before besting

Just the Judge (Ire) (Lawman {Fr}) in the G1 English1000 Guineas at headquarters May 5. The Coronationwas billed as a rematch between those twoadversaries, but Sky Lantern turned the prestigiousevent into a one-horse affair, streaking away with ablinding turn of speed to score by four lengths withJust the Judge back in third. The gray filly will receive anine-pound age allowance from her older rivals in theFalmouth, a race which could also attract G2 Duke ofCambridge S. winner Duntle (Ire) (Danehill Dancer {Ire}),as well as Giofra (GB) (Dansili {GB}) and Elusive Kate(Elusive Quality), first and second, respectively, in lastyear=s Falmouth.

‘POWER’ BACK FOR CUP Last Tuesday=s G1 King=s Stand S. winner Sole Power(GB) (Kyllachy {GB}) will return to Britain to contest the G1 Darley July Cup, trainer Eddie Lynam confirmedyesterday. Following the 6-year-old=s second top-level

success in RoyalAscot=s five-furlonghighlight, he will tackleanother furlong in theJuly 13 Newmarketfeature. ASole Powerhas taken Royal Ascotin his stride and it=s allsystems go for theJuly Cup,@ Lynam toldPA Sport. AWe arevery hopeful that hewill last out the extra

distance. Johnny Murtagh is very confident that he willstay the six furlongs and he settles so much better inhis races nowadays, so we have decided to give it ago.@

RULER GETS VOTE OF CONFIDENCE Jockey Joseph O=Brien yesterday issued an upbeatbulletin regarding Susan Magnier, Michael Tabor andDerrick Smith=s G1 Epsom Derby winner Ruler of theWorld (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) ahead of Saturday=s G1 DubaiDuty Free Irish Derby at The Curragh. Favored to stayunbeaten and provide Aidan O=Brien with an 11threnewal and an eighth in succession, the G1 EpsomDerby hero has given all the right signals as he bids tobecome the 17th colt to complete the double. AHe=s anexciting horse and we=re looking forward to it,@ O=Briensaid at Naas yesterday evening. AHe won very nicelythe last time at Epsom, and you=d be hoping he=simproved since. The Curragh is probably the fairesttrack of all that the Classics are run on and he=s wonthere already. This is a race every jockey wants to win.@

‘DAN’ READY FOR ANOTHER EXPLOSION After days of back-and-forth, reigning Horse of theYear Wise Dan (Wiseman=s Ferry) was entered forSaturday evening=s GII Firecracker H. at ChurchillDowns, but he is not a certain starter in the race. "Mr.Fink and I are going to talk, andhe will make the ultimatedecision," trainer Charlie LoPrestitold the Lexington Herald-Leader."Whatever he wants to do, I am100% behind him, because thehorse is good, the horse is inreally good shape. I'm notworried about running him.@LoPresti says it isn=t the 128-pound impost, but the spread inthe weights that is bothersome."He's going to have to give them11-15 pounds, that's what I'mconcerned about. It's not aboutputting the weight on him." On paper, Lea (FirstSamurai) is the only foe within shouting distance ofWise Dan, owner of nine consecutive triple-digit Beyers.The homebred has gone favored in each of his sixcareer starts, including this track=s GIII CommonwealthTurf S. last November. He exits an off-turf allowancescore in Louisville June 1.

Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, $33,600.Last Start: 1st Msw at SA Jan. 13.

C R K Stable=s Demonic lived up to the hype in hisunveiling with a J “TDN Rising Star” J worthyperformance at Santa Anita Jan. 13 (video), and hasleft everybody waiting for more since. Favored at even-money, the $400,000 KeenelandSeptember yearling graduate chased on the outside infifth through a half mile in :45.66. With Garrett Gomezin the saddle, the handsome bay revved up with a four-

wide move as theystraightened for home, andlengthened that mighty strideof his for a well-timed narrowvictory over impressive next-out winner Tiz the Truth(Tiznow). Demonic stoppedthe clock for seven furlongs in1:22.89, good for an 88 BeyerSpeed Figure. Demonic posted eightsubsequent workouts and was

under consideration for several GI Kentucky Derbypreps earlier this spring, but was instead freshened withan eye on the second half of the season, according toowner Lee Searing. ADemonic had a slight foot issue, and we gave him allthe time he needed,@ Searing explained. AHe will resumetraining perfectly healthy in mid-July. Plans are for himto make the races again as soon as he=s ready. He iswith [trainer] John Sadler at Hollywood Park.@ Produced by GIII Delaware Oaks heroine Sincerely(Meadowlake), Demonic is a half-brother to SilverEdition (Silver Deputy), SW & MGSP, $377,685. Histhird dam Furl Sail (Revoked) was champion 3-year-oldfilly in 1967. ADemonic is a beautiful colt with loads of talent,@Searing continued. AHe was not primed for his initialrace, and we sure saw all that ability surface waybefore we thought it would. We have always thoughtthat he would go a route of ground, but needed to gethim started [in a sprint].@ Searing concluded, AHe will come back a bigger,stronger colt, and hopefully we=ll have a fresh, talentedlate 3-year-old.@ Cont. p4

Tapicat, off since validating her J “TDN RisingStar” J badge by running her grass record to aperfect three-for-three in her stakes debut in the GIII Florida Oaks at Tampa Bay Feb. 2 (video), isnearing a return to the races this summer. The speedy chestnut recovered from an awkwardbreak that day to easily defeat subsequent GIII RegretS. and Edgewood S. heroine Kitten=s Dumplings(Kitten=s Joy) in wire-to-wire fashion by 2 3/4 lengths. AShe was going to the [GI] Ashland [S.] at Keeneland[Apr. 6], but we felt that she was not 100%, so wedecided to give her a short break,@ Besilu Stables=Fabricio Buffolo revealed. AShe came to the farm andstayed a few weeks where she rested and thenresumed training.@

The $725,000 Keeneland September yearlingpurchase, produced by a half-sister to GI Triple Bend H.winner Pohave (Holy Bull), is currently on the comebacktrail at Saratoga, most recently breezing five furlongsover the Oklahoma turf course around the dogs in1:02.58 June 24. AShe is doing well and [trainer] Bill [Mott] is happywith her so far,@ Buffolo continued. AWe are pointingher to Saratoga, very likely the [GII] Lake George [S.July 24] against straight 3-year-old fillies. We will takeit one race at a time and go from there.@

CROP REPORT(c, 3, Medaglia d’Oro--Amarillo,

by Crafty Prospector)*$35,000 2yo ‘12 KEEJAN;$41,356 2yo ‘12 ARQMAY. O-Team Valor International;

B-Liberation Farm (KY); T-R Mettee.Lifetime Record: 4-2-0-1, $57,609.

Last Start: 1st Rushaway S. Mar. 23.

The promising sophomore Crop Report failed to makeit into the oversubscribed GIII Spiral S. at Turfway ParkMar. 23, but served notice on the undercard with apowerful last-to-first victory in the $75,000 Team ValorRushaway S. (video). Subsequently sidelined with aligament issue, the strapping dark bay is likely to returnto Rick Mettee=s Fair Hill base to resume serious trainingin about a month, according to Team Valor InternationalCEO Barry Irwin. ACrop Report jammed his left suspensory ligament inthe Rushaway,@ Irwin reported. ANo tears or fiberdamage, but a lot of jarring. His ligament increased insize. Since then, he has been rehabbing at WinStarFarm--doing hyperbaric, water treadmill, walking andjust began jogging under tack.@ An impressive maiden winner over the Newmarketgrass last October for owner M. J. Tuckey andconditioner William Haggas, Crop Report overcame aworld of trouble to finish an eye-catching third behindsubsequent GIII Spiral S. upsetter Black Onyx (RockHard Ten) in his first attempt for Team Valor in his U.S.debut in a $75,000 optional-claimer over theGulfstream lawn Feb. 23 (video). Favored at 3-5 while trying the synthetic for the firsttime in the Rushaway, Crop Report trailed the field ofsix after getting bumped shortly after the break. JoelRosario remained cool as Crop Report caboosed thefield through a half mile in :47.97. The son of GIII Delaware H. heroine Amarillo (Crafty Prospector)began to roll on the far turn, and came charging downthe lane on his left lead to get the money by 1 3/4lengths. AWe have no plans for him other than to get him backin action,@ Irwin added. AHe has an enormous amount ofraw ability, but being as big as he is and such a latefoal [May 31], it is not surprising that he had troublegetting started as early as he did.@
