TIZ THE LAW TRIES FORSECOND LEG OF

'QUADRUPLE CROWN'

by Joe Bianca

Following a resounding victory in the GI Belmont S., SackatogaStable and Barclay Tagg could have easily put their star pupil Tiz the Law (Constitution) in bubble wrap and waited for a run inthe rescheduled GI Kentucky Derby. After all, only in this strangeyear could a team of connections have the benefit of 11 weeksof rest in between the first and second legs of the Triple Crown.Instead, the once-beaten New York-bred star will line up as aheavy favorite in Saturday's GI Runhappy Travers S. at Saratogaas he attempts to go one better than the typical triple andcomplete the second quest of an unofficial quadruple crown,just four weeks ahead of the Run for the Roses. Debuting with an easy victory over fellow Empire-breds on thistrack exactly one year ago, Tiz the Law repeated with authorityin the GI Champagne S. before suffering his first defeat whenthird, beaten under a length, in the sloppy GII Kentucky JockeyClub S. at Churchill in his 2-year-old finale. GIven a brief break,he returned with a three-length success in the GIII Holy Bull S.Feb. 1 at Gulfstream and repeated by 4 1/4 lengths in the GI Curlin Florida Derby there Mar. 28. Backed down to 4-5against nine rivals in front of an empty grandstand in theBelmont, the blaze-faced bay didn't disappoint, taking over inhand at the top of the stretch and cruising to another convincingtriumph.

Uncle Chuck & assistant trainer Jimmy Barnes | Sarah Andrew

Runhappy Travers cont. from p1 Saturday, Tiz the Law will get his first test at the Derby

distance of 10 furlongs. Since the Belmont, he has drilled five

times, the last three breezes going five panels over this track,

capped by a :59 4/5 (2/24) move Aug. 1.

"I've never seen him take a deep breath," Tagg told the NYRA

notes team. "I've never had him out of breath after a workout.

I've never had him way out of breath after a race and he [cools]

off very quickly. His lungs settle right down and nothing seems

to be a hazard. I could be all wrong in that. It might change in

another eighth of a mile, I don't know, but I've got no reason to

worry about it."

The biggest threat to the chalk appears to come in the form of

Mike Pegram, Karl Watson and Paul Weitman's Uncle Chuck

(Uncle Mo). Bought for $250,000 at Keeneland September, the

hulking dark bay didn't debut until June 12 of this year, but was

worth the wait, overcoming a slow start and rolling to a

seven-length front-running score going a mile at Santa Anita.

Quickly stepped up into stakes company, he proved clearly best

in the GIII Los Alamitos Derby, a performance that was flattered

when runner-up and stablemate Thousand Words (Pioneerof

the Nile) returned to upset top Derby contender Honor A. P.

(Honor Code) with a 104 Beyer in last week's Shared Belief S.

"He's quick," said trainer Bob Baffert, looking for his fourth

Travers win. "He's a big, tall horse but he's really quick on his

feet. He's got a tremendous stride. That's why I thought the mile

and a quarter would suit him well. If you can win the Travers, it's

a big thing. But Tiz the Law looks unbelievable. I watched his last

work and he looked tremendous, so Uncle Chuck will have to

step it up. It should be a great race."Cont. p4

Country Grammer | Sarah Andrew

Travers cont.

The one-two finishers from opening day's GIII Peter Pan S. will

step up in Paul Pompa's Country Grammer (Tonalist) and Global

Thoroughbred and Top Racing's Caracaro (Uncle Mo). The

former, who fought gamely along the rail to prevail, would give

trainer Chad Brown his first Travers score, a victory he has said

would be even more significant to him than winning the Derby,

having grown up in nearby Mechanicville. The latter,

conditioned by Gustavo Delgado, appears to have a bit more

upside, after fighting gamely to within a neck in the Peter Pan in

just his third career start, first around two turns and first outing

since Jan. 11. Caracaro will be piloted by Javier Castellano, who

boasts a record six Travers wins.

Rounding out the top contenders is George Hall and SportBLX

Thoroughbreds' Max Player (Honor Code). No match for Tiz the

Law when third in the Belmont, he nevertheless finished up well

in there, getting his last furlong in :11.85, and has a reason to

move forward off the race, his first since capturing the

GIII Withers S. Feb. 1 at Aqueduct.

Constitution, sire of Tiz the Law | WinStar

TIZ ALL ABOUT MOMENTUMby Chris McGrath

You didn't know? Sure they do, every Travers weekend. All the

Bluegrass stallions. They get together for a few bourbons at the

country club, compare notes on the covering season. And it's not

like the officers' mess, where no gentleman would bandy a

lady's name. They guffaw when they discover that some

notoriously ornery mare was sent to a naVve new subscriber;

they drool enviously when one of the senior members reveals

that he was favored with a visit from that gorgeous maiden who

topped a session at the November Sale. Then they start asking

how the kids are doing, and the grandkids in some cases; and

finally they all settle round the television to watch the

GI Runhappy Travers S., with much joshing between those with

"skin in the game".

This time round, the fixed smiles--the surface amiability not

quite concealing a competitive resentment--will be between

Uncle Mo (Indian Charlie) and Constitution (Tapit). It's a big day

for the younger of the pair, with Tiz The Law looking to

consolidate his standing in the crop a week after his premier

rival on the opposite coast, at much shorter odds, failed to do

the same. Cont. p6

Uncle Chuck | Sarah Andrew

Uncle Mo | Coolmore

This Side Up cont.

To do so, he will have to beat one of the most charismatic

Californian sophomores in Uncle Chuck, whose sire is

additionally represented by Caracaro.

And that's just the way both Uncle Mo and Constitution would

like it. One has the chance to put the upstart in his place. The

other? Well, what Constitution wants, more than anything else

in the world, is to be Uncle Mo.

Because even if he were to emulate the Ashford stallion by

producing a GI Kentucky Derby winner from his debut crop,

there are not yet any guarantees. Last winter, Constitution saw

Bodemeister (Empire Maker) led off the farm to board a plane

for Turkey, hardly the destiny that beckoned after Always

Dreaming won him the Derby at the first attempt in 2017--a

year after Nyquist had similarly given Uncle Mo the perfect

start.

Caracaro | Sarah Andrew

This Side Up cont.

Even before he won the Derby, Nyquist's juvenilechampionship had already made his sire the busiest in the land,with no fewer than 253 mares paying a fee promptly elevated to$75,000 from $25,000. That, frankly, is a quite appallingnumber. But they included the dams of Uncle Chuck, Caracaroand a couple with a Derby gate already secured in KingGuillermo and Modernist; not to mention Pneumatic, also in thepicture, and a filly who won three Grade Is last year in Bast. Thenext crop off the Uncle Mo carousel, conceived at ,150,000, hasalready produced a >TDN Rising Star' in Girl Daddy, impressiveon debut for Dale Romans and Albaugh Family Stables at EllisPark a few days ago, and a filly so well regarded by Doug O'Neillthat she was thrown into the deep end Friday in the GII SorrentoS. at Del Mar. Meanwhile eased slightly to $125,000, Uncle Mo's book of 241last year was nationally exceeded only by two glamorous sons ofScat Daddy freshly launched by the same farm, Justify andMendelssohn. Coolmore, of course, is perfectly willing to exposea stallion's percentages in exchange for sufficient volume to a) square the accounts in those commercially fervid openingseasons and b) yield up the headliners that can cover amultitude of sins. WinStar themselves are often not averse to that model, and it's safe to say that the revolving door this spring went roundrather more briskly for Constitution than was the case last year,when he served 85 mares. Though unable to match Uncle Mo'sbarnmate American Pharoah (Pioneerof The Nile) by earnings,he had meanwhile topped the rookies' table by winners, black-type winners and graded stakes winners, and was duly hiked to$40,000 from $15,000. That was a timely breakout for a farmwhose heart-breaking loss ofAmerican Pharoah's sire, in hisprime, had left the premiernames on its roster all in theevening of their careers. Through the first half of thiscampaign, American Pharoah andConstitution have exchanged theemphasis somewhat, Tiz the Lawkeeping his sire top on earningswhile the Triple Crown winnerhas improved his spread of eliteperformers. That's no less thanshould be expected, given therelative quality of their openingbooks, but both are plainlyconsolidating in an era whenstallions are given a ridiculously narrow window to promotetheir genetic wares. Because there is always a precarious margindividing an Uncle Mo and a Bodemeister.

Uncle Mo was fortunate to emerge from a pretty mediocreintake overall, with only Twirling Candy (Candy Ride {Arg})otherwise establishing a place in Kentucky's top tier. To me, thecurrent group of second-crop sires looks much stronger, withquite a few of the slower-burning types still looking highlyeligible to strengthen their profile through the support of those

who breed or buy with the quaintnotion of banking dough on theracetrack, rather than the salesring. Among those that look like they

can build a sustainable career is

Honor Code, albeit his poster boy

was disappointingly laboured last

weekend. Obviously a 20-runner

stampede over 10 furlongs is

more likely to draw out Honor

A.P.'s reserves of stamina, and he

couldn't be in better hands for a

peak effort at Churchill next

month. But, meanwhile, his sire

has another arrow in his quiver

for the Travers in Max Player.

Here is one of the diminishing crew, headed by Tiz the Law,

that was actually ready to roll on the first Saturday in May, only

to be left idle through the shutdown. Cont. p8

TDN HEADLINE NEWS • PAGE 8 OF 19 • THETDN.COM SATURDAY • AUGUST 8, 2020

Bernardini | Darley

This Side Up cont.

His resumption behind the class leader in the GI Belmont S., or

what must approximate to that Classic for this year, was plainly

auspicious.

Uncle Mo's pair, in contrast, are profiting from the

postponement of the Derby as relatively late bloomers.

Caracaro, having disappeared for six months after winning a

Gulfstream maiden in January, duly has obvious prospects of

avenging his narrow defeat by Country Grammer--himself

representing a second-crop sire with more to come, in Tonalist

(Tapit)--in their recent rehearsal. Uncle Chuck, for his part, did

not even make his debut until a regular Triple Crown season

would have ended, but has since dealt with barnmate Thousand

Words (Pioneerof the Nile) in a fashion that proved beyond

Honor A.P. last week.

Uncle Chuck is bidding to extend a terrific run for his breeders

at Stonestreet. Among their many recent accomplishments, they

raised the phenomenal filly Gamine (Into Mischief) whose

GI Longines Test S. performance on the same card could yet

nourish the idea that she is the true star of the crop. If so, and

Uncle Chuck can beat Tiz the Law as well, a lot of people will be

revisiting their notes on the Summerfield consignment at the

September Sale of 2018. Gamine was a famous 2-year-old

pinhook, but she was initially sold on the same day as Uncle

Chuck.

Out of five foals to make the track so far, Uncle Chuck's dam

has now produced three graded stakes winners plus an

authentic freak in Maclean's Music (Distorted Humor). Now

there's another guy who sired a Classic winner from his first

crop, though that only put him seventh behind Bodemeister that

year. And he's still very much in the game, having been

represented by the impressive Jackie=s Warrior in Friday=s

GII Saratoga Special S. while Sonic Brees carries the stallion=s

hopes in Saturday=s GII Best Pal S. at Del Mar.

But who's this? Here's Bernardini (A.P. Indy), whispering to the

country club steward that he'll take care of the tab. Travers

weekend, after all, is when everyone remembers how classy he

can be: a brilliant winner of the 2006 running, he then produced

Stay Thirsty and Alpha from his first two crops. His grandson

South Bend (Algorithms) may be up against it in this field, but a

couple of years ago Catholic Boy (More Than Ready) contributed

to Bernardini's dizzy rise as a broodmare sire.

To those prepared to listen, Bernardini will have some wise

counsel. "He who lives by the sword, dies by the sword," he'll

say quietly. "If the commercial market exalts you in months, it

can discard you in minutes. You boys remember Bodemeister,

and the way he swaggered in here only three years ago?"

And those youngsters hoping for many such reunions in the

years ahead will reflect. Sure, Bernardini's had a quiet couple of

years. But at 17 he is still probably the best-looking dude in the

room; and his daughters, especially, are already guaranteeing

him a lasting influence on the breed. No, he didn't have a Derby

winner at the first attempt. Maybe he felt that was just too

vulgar, too flash, and that's why he settled for consecutive

Travers winners instead.

And while Constitution may be tempted to tease Bernardini

that their fees have now met, through different trajectories, he

might be well advised to keep his mouth shut pending Art

Collector's appearance at Ellis Park on Sunday.

Ed DeRosa of Brisnet.com takes on TDN=s Steve Sherack and

Brian DiDonato as they handicap Triple Crown prep races plus

the big three races themselves. The three will make $100

Win/Place bets in the preps and $200 in/Place bets in the

Belmont, Kentucky Derby and Preakness. Highest bankroll at the

end wins.

DeRosa - Shared Belief S. Result - Cezanne finished last of four.

Bankroll: $4960.

GI Runhappy Travers S. - I hope people fall in love with the

thought of Baffert shipping East (again!) and bet their lungs on

Uncle Chuck. It=s the only way Tiz the Law could be a playable

price, but I would take 6-5 on him in the win pool. He=s done

everything right as a 3-year-old and for better or worse, had the

luxury of getting to space his races out while still targeting the

most premiere events for 3-year-olds. And so it goes here in the

Travers off a seven-week layoff from the Belmont S. The rubber

will meet the road with the Kentucky Derby just four weeks

after that, but in this spot he has the foundation for 1 1/4 miles,

he=s already carried 126 pounds, and he=s been consistently

faster than the rest of these. Selection: #6 Tiz the Law (1-1).

Sherack - Shared Belief S. Result - Well, the Shared Belief turned

out to be a bit of a trap race for Honor A. P. And that=s fine. I=ll

happily take a better price on the first Saturday in September

now. Bankroll: $3530.

GI Runhappy Travers S. - I really wanted to play against both of

the favorites here, but there just isn=t anything entered to take a

flyer on. Uncle Chuck ran like a horse that still had plenty of

growing up to do in his first two victories, and maybe he has

with all the hype surrounding him now and trio of bullets posted

since. Tiz the Law, meanwhile, continues to do nothing wrong

and seems to be thriving since his impressive score in the GI

Belmont S. He=s the horse to beat here. Selection: #6 Tiz the

Law (1-1).

DiDonato - Shared Belief S. Result - Honor A. P. (+$105) got

beat at very short odds, but had a ton going against him and is

probably a much more appealing wagering proposition now for

the Derby. Bankroll: $5230.

GI Runhappy Travers S. - I hate to keep chalking out, but Tiz the

Law looks awful tough in here and I=m not going to give away

points and possibly my lead just for the sake of being contrarian.

He appears to be working very well and has won over the

Saratoga surface; drew a good post; and 10 panels doesn=t seem

like a major obstacle. I=m not fully sold on Uncle Chuck, so

something like a tri key of Tiz the Law over Max Player, Country

Grammar Grammer and Caracaro might be the play pari-

mutuelly, though it won=t pay too much. Selection: #6 Tiz the

Law (1-1).

GAMINE TURNS BACK FOR TESTby Joe Bianca

You'd be hard-pressed to find a performance by a 3-year-old

filly in the past decade as jaw-dropping as what Michael Lund

Peterson's Gamine (Into Mischief) produced in the GI Longines

Acorn S. June 20 at Belmont. Considered the current top dog of

a loaded sophomore filly division in advance of the Sept. 4

GI Kentucky Oaks off that effort, the 'TDN Rising Star' will turn

back to a sprint as a prohibitive favorite in Saturday's

GI Longines Test S. at Saratoga.

Having lofty expectations attached to her ever since she

topped the 2019 Fasig-Tipton Midlantic Sale for $1.8 million, the

bay didn't make it to the races a a juvenile, but dominated by

6 1/4 lengths as a 1-10 favorite in her much-anticipated

unveiling Mar. 7 at Santa Anita. Cont. p10

Gamine & rider Simon Harris at Saratoga | Sarah Andrew

Bellafina | Benoit

Test S. cont.

Shipped and stretched out to two turns in an Oaklawn

allowance May 2, she gamely fought off Speech (Mr Speaker),

who returned two starts later to score convincingly in the GI

Central Bank Ashland S.

Gamine was later disqualified from that victory, however, for a

lidocaine positive, with the ruling coming after she decimated six

rivals with an 18 3/4-length romp in the Acorn. The effort

earned a 110 Beyer, tied for the second-highest figure earned by

any horse thus far in 2020.

"She looks great. We're keeping her one turn," trainer Bob

Baffert told the NYRA notes team. "I would have liked to stretch

her out one more time, the timing wasn't just right for it, but

she's doing really well. She's a really exciting filly, so hopefully

she runs as well as in the past and then we can run her in the

Kentucky Oaks."

The clear second choice on the morning line, Venetian Harbor

(Munnigs), turns back as well after a pair of odds-on defeats

going two turns. A dominant second-out graduate Dec. 29 at

Santa Anita, the $110,000 Keeneland September grad repeated

in comfortable fashion in the GII Las Virgenes S. there Feb. 8

before running second to Swiss Skydiver (Daredevil) in the

GIII Fantasy S. May 1 at Oaklawn and to Speech in the Ashland.

"At some point, she could get the [route] distance with the

right scenario," said Aimee Dollase, assistant to trainer Richard

Baltas. "She trained well into those races. She set a quick pace in

the Fantasy but the other filly, Swiss Skydiver, is obviously a very

good filly and she just ran her down in the last part. She ran a

big race in the Ashland, as well. She set a nice pace but Speech is

coming into her own. She's been beaten by two very good fillies

going long, which is probably more what those fillies wanted to

do, so we'll see how she runs here with a cutback in distance."

Alex and JoAnn Lieblong's Wicked Whisper (Liam's Map) looks

to get back to her top form. Named a 'Rising Star' off a

6 1/4-length debut victory here last August, the chestnut

doubled up in the GI Frizette S., but retreated to finish a

well-beaten fifth in the GI Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies and

again backed up to be a distant fourth making her seasonal

debut in the GIII Beaumont S. July 10 at Keeneland.

Up in Smoke (The Big Beast) figures to benefit if the pace gets

hot. Victorious in four of her first five outings, including a score

in Gulfstream's Game Face S. June 6, the gray had little chance

when fourth behind a slow pace in the GIII Victory Ride S. July 4

at Belmont, but still closed strongly enough to clock her final

five-sixteenths in a swift :28.95.

Ballerina cont.

Made the lukewarm favorite on the morning line is Kaleem

Shah's Bellafina (Quality Road). A three-time Grade I winner in

her first eight career starts, the $800,000 Fasig-Tipton

Gulfstream buy was a dull fifth as the favorite in the GI Kentucky

Oaks and third when again favored in the GI Longines Test S.

here last summer. Burned up on a fast pace and fading to fourth

in the GI Cotillion S., she bounced back with a career high when

dueling dual champion Covfefe (Into Mischief) to the wire in the

F/M Sprint before settling for second and was runner-up again

after setting a blistering tempo in the GI La Brea S. A troubled

fourth in the Carousel S. Apr. 25 at Oaklawn, she got her first

win in over a year when scoring in the GIII Desert Stormer S., but

was beaten at 1-2 when second in the GII Great Lady M S. last

out July 4 at Los Alamitos.

Last year's Kentucky Oaks heroine Serengeti Empress

(Alternation) and last year's Ballerina victress Come Dancing

(Malibu Moon) both also need a return to top form as the

second and third choices, respectively. Serengeti Empress,

runner-up in the GI Acorn S. and the Test after her Oaks

triumph, retreated to sixth in the Cotillion before finishing a

solid third as the pacesetter in the GI Longines Breeders' Cup

Distaff. Second at odds-on in the GIII Houston Ladies Classic S.,

she rebounded with a dominant 6 1/4-length score in the

GII Azeri S., but was 11th after chasing the speed in the GI Apple

Blossom H. and offered little resistance to champion Midnight

Bisou (Midnight Bisou) when fourth in the GII Fleur de Lis S.

June 27 at Churchill.

Come Dancing, widely considered the best older filly and mare

sprinter last year after going four-for-five to start her campaign,

a stretch that included a 3 1/2-length score in the Ballerina,

made no impact when sixth at 2-1 in the Breeders' Cup Filly &

Mare Sprint. Backing up to 12th in the Apple Blossom, she

couldn't get to re-opposing longshot Victim of Love

(Speightstown) as an odds-on runner-up in the GIII Vagrancy H.

June 27 at Belmont. The Blue Devil Racing Stable homebred will

attempt to become just the second back-to-back winner of the

Ballerina, following Shine Again (Wild Again), who scored in the

2001 and 2002 renewals.

Rounding out the field are speedsters Cookie Dough

(Brethren) and Letruska (Super Saver) and late-running Pink

Sands (Tapit), who figures to benefit most if the pace gets hot.

JOLIE OLIMPICA TO BEAT IN YELLOW

RIBBON

by Joe Bianca

Fox Hill Farms' speedy Jolie Olimpica (Brz), a close runner-up

to division leader Rushing Fall (More Than Ready) last out, will

go postward as the horse to beat in Saturday's eight-horse

GII Yellow Ribbon S. at Del Mar.

Undefeated in three starts in her native land, capping her

Brazilian career with a dominant win over males in the

G1 Jockey Club Brasileiro at Gavea last June, the chestnut got off

Yellow Ribbon cont.

The veteran Beau Recall (Ire) (Sir Prancealot {Ire}) also comes

in off a runner-up finish to a division leader as she tries for a

Yellow Ribbon repeat. Upset winner of last spring's GII Longines

Churchill Distaff Turf Mile S., she captured this event two starts

later before closing her 5-year-old account with a second in the

GI Rodeo Drive S. Ninth, while only beaten 2 1/4 lengths, in the

GIII Old Forester Mint Julep S. in her seasonal debut May 30 in

Louisville, she most recently closed from last to complete the

exacta behind wire-to-wire victress Newspaperofrecord (Ire)

(Lope de Vega {Ire}) in the GI Just A Game S. June 27 at Belmont.

Tommy Town Thoroughbreds' Keeper Ofthe Stars (Midnight

Lute) will attempt to rebound after quickly developing into a

division player earlier this year. Last year's GIII Autumn Miss S.

heroine was the one who chased down Jolie Olimpica in the

Buena Vista to score a 36-1 upset, then showed that effort was

no fluke when taking the GI Gamely S. May 25 in Arcadia. Last

time out, however, she finished a dull fifth in the June 20

GIII Wilshire S.

RODERICK HEADS WEST FOR BEST PAL

Runaway Belmont debut winner Roderick (Into Mischief),

scratched out of Friday=s deep GII Saratoga Special S., has been

tabbed as the 9-5 morning-line favorite in Saturday=s GII Best Pal

S. at Del Mar.

Roderick crushed a trio of rivals on debut for trainer Wesley

Ward on Long Island June 21, including runner-up Zippy Baby

(Cairo Prince), who returned to graduate next out at Saratoga.

Purchased by Breeze Easy for $550,000 as a KEESEP yearling,

Roderick is a full-brother to GIII Southwest S. winner One Liner

and hails from the same female family as Grade I winners

Albertus Maximus (Albert the Great) and Daredevil (More Than

Ready).

Highly regarded maiden Ambivalent (Constitution), a

$550,000 OBSMAR graduate, looks to go one better following a

strong second-place finish on debut behind wire-to-wire winner

Weston (Hit It a Bomb) going 4 1/2 furlongs at Santa Anita June

21 (Second Chances).

Santa Anita debut winner Herd Immunity (Union Rags) is the

lone runner in the field with stakes experience, entering off a

well-beaten third in Churchill=s GIII Bashford Manor S. June 27.

Asmussen watches the Saratoga Special replay while holding theMiller Lite jockey trophy | Sarah Andrew

Saratoga Special cont.

"[Trainer Steve Asmussen] wanted me to get him out of there

where he put himself,@ said winning rider Joel Rosario. AHe

broke well and we were just hanging on the lead, so I just rode it

from there. He was looking really nice and he was enjoying that.

He had his going ears back and forth and he looked like he was

going easy even though the fractions were fast. He was having

no problem with that. When they came close to him he wanted

to go, and I felt even more confident at that point. I knew he had

something left."

This was Asmussen=s fifth Saratoga Special win (Cuvee 2003,

Kodiak Kowboy 2007, Kantharos 2010, Copper Bullet 2017).

"With babies, I just wanted a clean break as he did in his first

race and let his talent take over,@ he said. ABeing Saratoga, there

were a lot of nice forms coming into it but when you get to

Saratoga, not everybody likes the circumstances. I'm glad to see

that he does.@

The Hall of Famer added, "I think this was a new test for him.

He won first time out at five-eighths of a mile and obviously was

sharp. [Sire] Maclean's Music is a horse that we had that was

brilliantly quick but we always thought from training him that he

would stretch out.@

Asmussen said the GI Runhappy Hopeful S. here over seven

panels Sept. 7 would likely be next on the agenda for Jackie=s

Warrior. As for the beaten favorite: "[Jockey] Ricardo [Santana,

Jr.] didn't think [Cazadero] handled the racetrack at all. Most

likely, with him being two-for-two at Churchill Downs, we'll get

him back there."

Pedigree Notes:

Jackie=s Warrior is the 18th black-type winner and fourth

graded stakes winner for Hill >n= Dale resident Maclean=s Music,

whose half-brother Uncle Chuck (Uncle Mo) will look to play the

role of spoiler in Saturday=s GI Runhappy Travers S. Trained by

Asmussen for Cazadero=s owner/breeder Stonestreet, Maclean=s

Music made just one start--a 7 1/4-length romp at Santa Anita

as a March 3-year-old, good for a 114 Beyer Speed Figure, the

fastest ever earned by a debuter. The horse Maclean=s Music

beat that day was named Flightofalifetime--no relation to

Therideofalifetime.

Maclean=s Music=s most accomplished performer, GI Preakness

S. hero Cloud Computing, is out of a mare by Jackie=s Warrior=s

maternal grandsire, A.P. Indy. Jackie=s Warrior is the first graded

winner out of a mare by A.P. Five Hundred, who began his stud

career in Florida before quickly being exported to Chile.

Jackie=s Warrior=s hard-knocking dam Unicorn Girl was far and

away A. P. Five Hundred=s most productive U.S.-sired runner--

she was a 19-time winner who racked up $483,508 before being

claimed out of her last lifetime start for $16,000 at the age of

eight. Jackie=s Warrior is her third foal.

Unicorn Girl was bought back for $110,000 at KEENOV >18

carrying a Candy Ride (Arg) filly and produced an American

Pharoah colt this Mar. 8 before being bred to Into Mischief for

2021. Unicorn Girl is out of SW Horah for Bailey, making her a

My Girl Red, who became the first winner from her freshman

sire (by Afleet Alex)=s small first crop when she aired by 4 1/4

lengths at Santa Anita June 14, ran to short odds in Friday

evening=s GII Sorrento S. to become his first stakes and graded

stakes winner as well. Campaigned by the same connections

who raced the 2014 GI Breeders= Cup Juvenile S. winner and

2015 GII Jim Dandy S. winner, the bay out-footed her five rivals

in the early scramble for position to take a narrow advantage

into the turn. She posted splits of :22.17 and :45.88, and was not

for catching as she kicked on wrapped up and clear of buzzed-

about firster Get On the Bus, who did well from the rail draw

and raced like a horse who would benefit from Friday=s

experience.

AI didn=t have any special instructions; just ride her with

confidence,@ said winning rider Flavien Prat. AShe showed speed

away from there, then we got a nice breather on the turn. From

there she just went on and won in hand.@

Trainer Keith Desormeaux added, AFlavien was telling me how

she was looking around and kind of lost interest the last eighth.

What was nice to me was that she was doing that the first

quarter. I know it=s still early and the time is average. But I think

she can go even quicker and I sure don=t want to complain. She

has always shown signs of class and it=s nice to see one duplicate

in the afternoon what we see in the mornings.@

My Girl Red will be pointed towards the GI Del Mar Debutante

S. Sept. 6.

Pedigree Notes:

Just a $17,000 KEESEP yearling, Texas Red missed by a neck

from far back in his sprint debut before breaking through third

out on the Del Mar synthetic in August of his juvenile season. He

was third behind eventual champion American Pharoah in Santa

Anita=s GI FrontRunner S. that September, and with that one

absent crushed his competition in the GI Breeders= Cup Juvenile

at a tick under 14-1, besting fellow young sires Carpe Diem and

Upstart in the process. He added the GII Jim Dandy S. at

Saratoga the following year with a narrow defeat of Frosted, and

eventually took up stud duties at Crestwood Farm.

Dam Morakami, meanwhile, was just a $21,000 pick-up at the

2017 Keeneland January sale while carrying a Street Boss colt.

That colt was later sold for $150,00 at Keeneland September

and would go on to take a pair of stakes (thus far) as Gold

Street. Morakami produced another Texas Red filly last May and

a Kitten=s Joy filly this year before visiting Into Mischief for 2021.

Prominent owner/breeder G. Watts Humphrey has a

connection to both of Friday=s Grade II-winning juveniles. He

raced Morakami, and bred GII Saratoga Special S. winner

Jackie=s Warrior=s dam sire A. P. Five Hundred.

Hambletonian second choice Ready for Moni | Lisa photo

Click to watch Tristan Ferrell tell us about the mission behind

Spark Community Cafe

HAMBLETONIAN HAS THOROUGHBRED

CONNECTION by Dave Briggs

One of the favorites for Standardbred racing's ultimate prizehas significant connections to the Thoroughbred world. Ready For Moni, the 3-1 morning line second choice inSaturday afternoon's $1 million Hambletonian at theMeadowlands, was bred by the Moni Maker Stable's FrankAntonacci and David Reid, the principals behind Thoroughbredracing's Ice Wine Stable that has campaigned such stars at NoNay Never, now standing at Coolmore Stud in Ireland, and thisyear's promising 2-year-old Fauci (Malibu Moon). Reid is also the owner of Preferred Equine Marketing, adual-breed sales agency that has its roots in the Standardbredworld. Antonacci, one of the owners of family-operatedStandardbred nursery Lindy Farms based in Connecticut, is alsoan owner of the famed Lexington harness track the Red Mile, aswell as the GreatHorse golf club in Hampden, Massachusetts.Antonacci=s son Philip serves as the Director of Sales forPreferred Equine=s Thoroughbred division. Long the largestconsignor of Standardbreds, Preferred Equine made theirThoroughbred debut in 2013 with a yearling consignment at theFasig-Tipton Saratoga New York-bred sale, and have beenincreasing their Thoroughbred footprint ever since. Ready for Moni was sold for $220,000 at the 2018 LexingtonSelected Yearling sale, and was purchased by John Fielding andpartners. Lindy Farms retained a piece of the colt, one of twoHambletonian elimination winners on Saturday, Aug. 1. TheToronto-based Fielding is another well-known name in bothbreeds. Fielding has bred numerous graded stakes winners inthe Thoroughbred game with partner Fred Hertrich, including GI winners Catholic Boy and Diversify. The pair own around 100 mares at Hertrich=s Watercress Farm in Lexington. Ready For Moni is also owned by Herb Liverman of Florida andBud Hatfield of Ohio.

A victory Saturday by Ready For Moni would also give the

Antonacci family a record sixth Hambletonian triumph. Different

combinations of the Antonacci clan have won the Hambletonian

with: Lindys Pride (1969), Speedy Crown (1971), Probe (1989),

Harmonious (1990) and Victory Dream (1994).

A win would also be a significant breeding triumph for the

Moni Maker Stable. Ready For Moni is the result of its efforts to

successfully blend French and American trotting blood to

produce a superior Standardbred. In the harness racing world, it

is still relatively rare for a North American mare to be bred to a

European stallion or vice-versa.

Ready For Moni is a son of French stallion Ready Cash out of

Nothing But Moni, a daughter of the famed American-bred Moni

Maker, who earned nearly $5.6 million in her racing career

competing both in North America and Europe.

The Hambletonian post time is 4:35 p.m., and will be aired on

a tape-delayed basis on the CBS Sports Network in a program

beginning at 6 p.m.

THERE=S ALWAYS AN OPEN SEAT AT SPARK

COMMUNITY CAFE by Katie Ritz

If you peak through the windows of the new cafe in downtown

Versailles, Kentucky, the sights and smells of the tantalizing

cuisine draw you closer to the door. Cajun shrimp and grits,

chicken pesto pizza and beef short ribs are laid out across

wooden tables adorned with mason jars filled with freshly-cut

flowers.

Normally, many people living in this community wouldn=t

dream of stepping across the threshold of such an upscale, and

perhaps mistakenly pretentious, establishment. The dollar signs

listed on the menu next to those mouth-watering entrees would

make it impossible. But at Spark Community Cafe, anyone--

regardless of financial status or background, is welcome.

Araceli Ayala and family| Araceli Ayala

Spark Community Cafe cont.

AOur goal here is if folks come in and they can=t afford their

meals, they can volunteer for those meals,@ said Spark=s co-

executive director Tristan Ferrell. AAny customers that come in

for lunch or for special events and give a gratuity, that gratuity

goes towards paying for [the first person=s] meal. So it=s a cycle

of paying it forward.@

Ferrell grew up in Woodford County, and has always had a

passion for his community. As a senior in high school, he

participated in a capstone

course called Community

Activism. The students before

him had created pop-up festivals

called Spark Weekends in an

effort to generate economic

development downtown. Ferrell

and his classmates decided to

take it one step further by

implementing a permanent

community space by opening a

cafe. After three years of

fundraising, the restaurant

officially opened in March of

2019. Now a senior in the

University of Kentucky=s

Community and Leadership Development program, Ferrell has

dedicated his career to promoting community growth and

betterment.

AFrom the beginning, we knew that if people wanted to come

in and they couldn=t afford their meals, then we would be able

to give them a meal and they could help us around the

restaurant,@ he said.

Araceli Ayala has lived in Versailles for about seven years along

with her husband, Antonia Villa, and three children who are all

under the age of 15.

Her husband works at Lane=s End Farm and has passed on his

passion for the industry to the children.

AEvery few months, my husband is able to take my children to

work with him to help feed the horses in the afternoon,@ Ayala

said through a translator. AMy daughter, Lupita Guadalupe (age

four) loves seeing the horses, and isn=t afraid of them, even

though I am. My son Marco (age 14), was able to drive a tractor

outside the stable and he loved it.@

Ayala and her family came into contact with Spark through

another community organization called Esperanza, an after-

school program run by the Versailles Presbyterian Church across

the street from Spark that helps many of the community=s

immigrant children learn English as a second language, while

also offering emotional and social support.

Spark Community Cafe hosted a back-to-school dinner for

Esperanza last fall, and the evening touched Ayala greatly.

AWe were so surprised because they made >pozole,= a

traditional Latin American dish that is very difficult to make and

is very rare,@ she recalled. AWe thought they would make typical

American food, but they made a dish well-known to us. It was

delicious. When it was time to go, we didn=t have to pay. The gift

that I had received touched my heart and I got very emotional

when I tried to thank the employees for their loving act, and for

reminding me of my >patria,= my

home country.@

The Spark team told Ayala that

she and her family were

welcome back any time.

AI was amazed when they

explained that the restaurant

was open to feed everyone--

Latinas and Americans, people

who could pay and people who

couldn=t. Spark gives a warm

meal and a glass of water with

love, humility and respect. That

is something beautiful.@

The organization=s growth over

the past year has been in no

small part to the Woodford County Community Fund. Ashbrook

Farm=s Sandi Bromagen is a board member of the program, and

a passionate advocate for Spark.

AThe connection between Spark Cafe and the Woodford

County Community Fund basically started when I met with a

group of kids for breakfast and they explained to me their vision

for the cafe,@ Bromagen recalled. ATo say the kids were

impressive doesn=t even say the whole thing. They were well-

versed and persuasive. We made them a grant for Spark

weekend, and from there they went on to start Spark Cafe.@

The Woodford County Community Fund helps provide the

capital to back organizations hoping to get a start in the

Versailles community. They have an annual AGrant Shebang@ in

which they challenge local horse farms to participate by

donating money that will fund one worthy program each year.

AThis year we have had five farms climb on board with us,@

Bromagen said. ALane=s End, Newtown Anner Stud Farm,

Stonestreet, Brittany Farm and Ashbrook Farm. We=re looking

for more farms to join us. The community votes on who actually

gets the funds based on where the money is best allocated. It=s a

community decision, and every little bit of seed money creates a

new idea, a new adventure, for Woodford County. Spark Cafe is

a perfect example of the good generated from a community

fund.@ Cont. p17

Spark Café relies on a volunteer-based wait staff

Spark Community Café

Some of Spark=s most frequent customers are members of the

Woodford County Thoroughbred industry, but in the unique

ecosystem that is Spark Community Cafe, grooms sit alongside

farm managers. Barn employees are at a table next to office

staff.

AWe have people coming in [from farms] who aren=t paying for

the meals,@ Ferrell said. AAnd then we have folks coming in from

Coolmore, Ashbrook and from local government sitting right

next to each other. Everybody=s talking about different things,

but it=s an encompassing community space and it=s really neat to

see.@

Even the chefs in the kitchen have Thoroughbred connections.

Executive Chef Isaiah Screetch is a former Sous Chef for

Keeneland Hospitality, and several other employees have

previously worked at Keeneland.

AThe horse world comes full circle here when people come in

and dine with us,@ Ferrell said. AWe get to meet some really cool

people who are involved in one of the biggest industries in our

community.@

He continued, ASometimes when we=re working and I=m

supposed to be getting work done, I find myself sitting down and

talking to the people from the farms and learning what they do

day-to-day and how their world works. It=s really interesting

getting to see the different dynamics with them coming in and

getting away from the busyness of their industry to see our

industry for a day.@

Of course, just like everything else it seems, the Coronavirus

pandemic has taken its toll on the restaurant. Just as the cafJ

was starting to gain momentum within the community, they

were forced to shut their doors to guests after just over a year

of business. But this never stopped them from reaching out to a

community in need.

AWhen everything first happened, it was a scary time for us,@

Ferrell admitted. AWe were sending out meals more than we

ever had, especially to school kids who were impacted by not

being able to get a free school lunch. We=ve partnered with

Esperanza and have been delivering meals to them for the past

five months. This week, we will have delivered over 1,400 meals

since March.@

Prior to the pandemic, Spark also hosted a weekly session for

the Esperenza middle school students on cooking and good

nutrition.

Spark Community Cafe has been reopened for in-person

service for just over a month, and now more than ever they are

relying on their community to help them bounce back from the

pandemic interruption.

AAs we continue to feed more and more people each week,

donations are imperative for us to be able to do that,@ said

Ferrell. AWe really do take it week to week, as far as what we=re

going to be able to do for people. All of our wait staff that comes

into the cafe is volunteer-based. So we really do rely on

volunteers every day to do what we do.@

Already, 2,100 volunteer hours had been donated to Spark=s

mission. In addition, 3,000 meals have been served to the food

insecure and $15,000 has been contributed to the central

Kentucky farm economy. A good deal of revenue comes in from

a growing catering business.

As Spark now looks ahead to discover how they can have an

even greater impact on their community, Ferrell takes a

moment to reflect on everything they=ve accomplished so far.

AWe=ve only been around for about a year and I hope that in

that time, we=ve impacted a few people with being able to give

them meals and being able to make families comfortable in

coming here and joining a real community space that not only

belongs to us, but that is open to anybody who would like to

come in.@

Araceli Ayala is at least one person who has been forever

impacted by the cafe.

AIt is difficult and painful to ask for help,@ she said. AEven if it

means having no money, I was raised to pay what I owe. When

you drive by the restaurant, you think it is just a restaurant. But

it feeds people in our community when they are unable to feed

themselves. When you drive by the Versailles Presbyterian

Church, it just looks like a church. But the church members and

the volunteers help pay for the Esperanza program, which is

helping people pay for their bills during the pandemic. The love

for all the Hispanic people that Spark Cafe and the Esperanza

program show toward us has created a circle of giving--a circle

of God=s love-- and I hope that it will continue to grow.@

Jolting Joe | Sarah Andrew

by Andrea Branchini

Marylin Monroan, the (roan) dam of Saratoga stakes winning

3-year-old colt Jolting Joe, is the gift that keeps on giving, when

it comes to ingenious names. After her foals Mr President--a

full-brother to Jolting Joe--and Somelikeithotbrown (Big Brown),

we now have a lovely reference to Marilyn=s second husband

Joe DiMaggio, one of whose nicknames was AJoltin= Joe@--

epitomized by the 1942 big-band song AJoltin' Joe DiMaggio", by

Ben Homer and Alan Courtney.

The AYankee Clipper@ (another of Joe=s nicknames) is one of

the best baseball players of all times and has pride of place also

in the moving lyrics of a famous Simon & Garfunkel song:

AWhere have you gone, Joe DiMaggio?/Our nation turns its

lonely eyes to you/Woo, woo, woo.@

Let=s hope the future career of this promising young colt

resembles the luminous one of his legendary namesake.

STONEWOOD (f, 3, Speightstown--Amber Isle, by First

Defence) was fourth on debut on the Gulfstream main track

Feb. 16 and was seventh last time on dirt at Churchill Downs

May 16. She led the way in her first try on turf over course and

distance July 17, but was overtaken late and forced to settle for

second. Hammered down to 3-2 favoritism to go one better

here, the dark bay seized the early advantage, zipping through a

:21.71 first quarter. Clocking a :45.19 half-mile, she held off a

pair of late-surging rivals to win by a head. Ship=s Creek

(Midshipman) was second. Amber Isle has an unnamed juvenile

filly by Quality Road and a yearling filly by Violence. She did not

produce a foal in 2020, but was bred to Gun Runner this season.

BARRISTER TOM (g, 2, Artie Schiller--Taylor Lane, by Parading)

failed to fire in his Indiana unveiling July 8, finishing ninth in a

main track sprint. Given a 7-1 chance for this extension in trip

and switch to the lawn, the bay was hustled to the front and

appeared to be out for an afternoon stroll as he loped along

through soft early splits. Joined by heavily favored The Right

Stuff (GB) (Sea the Stars {Ire}) on the backstretch run, the

gelding shook free of that rival in the lane and kicked clear to

graduate by four lengths. Dewy=s Hit (Hit It a Bomb) overtook

the favorite to be second. The winner=s dam had a Jimmy Creed

filly this year and was bred back to Algorithms. Lifetime Record:

DEAUVILLE CLASH THEFEATURE ON SATURDAY

Saturday=s action is relatively quiet in terms of recent activity

and the main action takes place in the heat of Normandy=s coast

with Deauville staging the G2 Prix Hocquart Longines.

Godolphin=s progressive Volkan Star (Ire) (Sea the Stars {Ire})

looks to build on his latest win in the 12-furlong G3 Prix du Lys at

ParisLongchamp on July 14, having taken the Listed Fairway S. at

Newmarket on June 27. Charlie Appleby has a creditable record

at this August-long festival and said, AVolkan Star brought a very

progressive profile into the Prix du Lys and duly obliged. This is

another step up in class, but he has done well since his last run.

We are feeling our way through the grades and hope he can run

another good race.@

He meets Claudio Marzocco=s Port Guillaume (Fr) (Le Havre

{Ire}), who lost his unbeaten record but nothing in defeat when

fifth in the 10 1/2-furlong G1 Prix du Jockey Club at Chantilly on

July 5. Undone by the steady early pace in that Classic, the

Jean-Claude Rouget trainee has another two furlongs to run

here which is certain to suit on that evidence.

Sixth and more of a disappointment in the Jockey Club, the

Wertheimers= May 14 G3 Prix la Force winner Pao Alto (Fr)

(Intello {Ger}) needs to bounce back in a fascinating contest

which also features the July 12 G2 Derby Italiano hero Tuscan

Gaze (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}). Cont. p2

UPCOMING GOFFS, TATTS IRELAND SALES

TO STAY IN IRELAND Goffs has announced that its forthcoming Land Rover Sale of

National Hunt store horses will take place in Ireland as planned

despite a failed bid to have certain overseas buyers made

exempt from the country=s 14-day quarantine requirement for

visitors. Tattersalls Ireland=s Derby and May Store Sales will also

go ahead as planned at Fairyhouse on Aug. 18 and 19 and Aug.

20, respectively. The sale is set to take place next week on Aug.

12 and 13 and only incoming visitors from >Green List= countries=

will not have had to quarantine for 14 days prior to the sale.

That list extends to 15 countries and includes Italy, Norway and

Greece, but travellers arriving in Ireland from Britain, France,

Spain and America among others would have to undergo the

stipulated period of isolation. A joint submission which Asought

to respect the quarantine requirements@ was made by Goffs,

Tattersalls Ireland, Horse Racing Ireland and Irish Thoroughbred

Marketing to urge the Irish government to allow a limited

number of key overseas buyers to be present at both the Land

Rover Sale at Goffs and the Derby Sale at Tattersalls Ireland on

Aug. 18 and 19. Cont. p2

Deauville Clash The Feature On Saturday cont. from p1

Newmarket=s card features the G3 Betway Sweet Solera S., in

which another Godolphin representative is in evidence in

Danilova (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}), who scored over the course and

seven-furlong distance last Saturday. Charlie Appleby said of

her, AWe are turning out Danilova quite quickly, but she has

come out of her last run in good order and has two good runs

over this course and distance under her belt. She will need to

improve again with the step up to this grade, but the signs have

all been good and we felt that this was a nice opportunity for

her.@

One of Danilova=s most notable rivals is Robert Tyrrell=s

impressive July 18 six-furlong Newbury maiden scorer Fly Miss

Helen (Fr) (Le Havre {Ire}), who bids to provide Richard Hannon

with a third success in the last five renewals. AShe=s done very

well since her first run. Sean [Levey] has been riding her in a lot

of her work and he=s been impressed,@ her trainer said. AShe=s a

big filly who was slow to come to hand, but she showed plenty

of ability from day one. She=s not flashy in her work as such, but

she does it well and we=re looking forward to running her. This

race has been a good stepping-stone for a lot of good fillies over

the years.@

At Haydock, the G3 BetVictor Rose of Lancaster S. sees Isa

Salman Al Khalifa=s Global Giant (GB) (Shamardal) look to build

on his success in the July 19 Listed Steventon S. at Newbury.

John Gosden=s son Thady said, AHe=s in good form and Haydock

should suit him, I think. Hopefully they don=t get too much rain.@

Also in action is Cheveley Park Stud=s G1 Falmouth S. winner and

>TDN Rising Star= Veracious (GB) (Frankel {GB}), who is back after

a wind operation in the Listed BetVictor British EBF Dick Hern S.

Cork=s G3 Irish Stallion Farms EBF Give Thanks S. is a race to

savour, with last year=s winner Tarnawa (Ire) (Shamardal)

returning for the first time in 2020 having also garnered the

G2 Blandford S. at The Curragh in September. The Aga Khan=s

4-year-old has a stiff task on this reintroduction, having to give

10 pounds to the July 18 G1 Irish Oaks second and third

Cayenne Pepper (Ire) (Australia {GB}) and Passion (Ire) (Galileo

{Ire}). Tarnawa represents the Dermot Weld stable and Passion

the Ballydoyle operation, which between them have accounted

for all of the last eight editions of this 12-furlong contest.

from p1

This was denied following consultation with Ireland=s National

Public Health Emergency Team (NPHET).

ANaturally we are disappointed that our submission cannot be

implemented at this time as we had worked with HRI on a

proposal that was workable but respected current government

policy,@ said Goffs Group chief executive Henry Beeby.

AHowever we recognise the increasing challenge facing the

country and appreciate the difficult decisions facing the

government as the country battles this pandemic. On behalf of

Goffs, I apologise to all our clients who are affected, first and

foremost those UK buyers who had accepted the invitation, and

our vendors who have supported us with such an outstanding

group of horses. As we have stated, the sale will proceed with

detailed social distancing protocols in place. The Goffs team is

continuing to proactively promote the sale and will provide as

much assistance as possible to any buyer unable to attend by

linking them with Irish agents, highlighting those entries that can

be viewed online and encouraging the use of Goffs Online to

bid. We will publish a list of agents who confirm their

attendance and are available to act as an inspector whilst we are

also available to take phone bids from any potential purchaser.@

He added, AAs to future sales, we will continue to monitor the

situation and look at any and all options as matters evolve but

we would reiterate that the modern-day Goffs was set up to

provide a world-class sales facility in Ireland and to serve the

Irish breeder. At the same time we have a superb sales complex

in the UK so we have options to serve the industry on both sides

of the Irish Sea. However, we feel it would be imprudent to rush

in to any finite decisions beyond next week at this stage and we

would ask for calm heads and the continued support of our loyal

clients as by working together we can deliver the best results for

the world-class Irish horses so sought after around the world.

AFor now we look forward to next week as we have a superb

group of horses to offer and we should remember that recent

editions of the Land Rover Sale have welcomed over 350 Irish

buyers whilst modern technology can allow others to

participate. It=s not ideal but nothing is at the moment and the

health of the nation must be the priority.@

Tattersalls Ireland Chief Executive Officer Matt Mitchell said,

ANaturally we are disappointed that our joint submission to

government has not been approved, but we fully respect the

decision and will continue to do everything in our power to

ensure that the Derby and May Store Sales run as smoothly as

possible. While the sales will take place under strict protocols,

we will be working tirelessly to assist purchasers in any way we

can, in particular those who cannot be present due to the travel

constraints.

Upcoming Goffs, Tatts Ireland Sales To Stay In Ireland cont.

AWe regret not being able to welcome to Fairyhouse our

overseas purchasers whose loyalty has been rewarded with

purchases that consistently deliver on the track. While the

circumstances are difficult, we believe they are not

insurmountable and our new live internet bidding platform and

telephone bidding facilities will be at the disposal of all those

unable to attend the sales."

Horse Racing Ireland=s chief executive Brian Kavanagh

commented, ALike many other sectors, Covid 19 is having a

serious impact on all aspects of our business and the

international travel consequences are becoming ever more

complicated. I wish Goffs well with what will be the first public

sale to be held in Ireland since February. While some visitors

may not be able to attend in person, the current situation

requires us to be as creative as possible and through Irish

Thoroughbred Marketing, Horse Racing Ireland will assist Goffs

and their international buyers in any way we can.@

DUAL GROUP 1 WINNER WATCH ME

RETIRED Alexander Tamagni and Regula Vannod=s Watch Me (Fr)

(Olympic Glory {Ire}), who last weekend added a victory in the

G1 Prix Rothschild to her G1 Coronation S. score last year, has

been retired. The news was first reported by Jour de Galop.

AI wasn=t completely happy with how she came out of the

[Rothschild],@ said trainer Francis Graffard. AWe spoke to the

owners and we decided together that we should respect the filly

[by retiring her]. It was a good way for her to finish--she proved

she=s a very good filly. Now we have to try to find another one.@

Bred by Antoinette Tamagni and Cocheese Bloodstock, Watch

Me was offered at Arqana August but was taken home when led

out unsold at i30,000. Sent to the yard of Francis Graffard, she

won at second asking at two. She won the G3 Prix Imprudence

on seasonal debut at three before besting the dual Guineas

winner Hermosa (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) at Royal Ascot and was third

in the G1 Prix de l=Opera before season=s end. The chestnut had

won both her starts this season, taking the Listed Prix de la

Calonne three weeks prior to the Rothschild.

12.40 Ascot, Debutantes, ,6,000, 2yo, 7fT

MEGALLAN (GB) (Kingman {GB}) is the second foal out of the

Listed Lord Weinstock Memorial S. winner Eastern Belle (GB)

(Champs Elysees {GB}) who was placed three times at graded-

stakes level in the States including when second in the 2015 GII

New York S. As a half-sister to Golden Horn (GB), Eastern Belle is

a vital broodmare going forward for Anthony Oppenheimer and

her April-foaled colt is unsurprisingly in training with John

Gosden. Another with esteemed connections is Jeff Smith=s

homebred colt Spirit Mixer (GB) (Frankel {GB}), an Andrew

Balding-trained first foal out of Arabian Queen (Ire) (Dubawi

{Ire}) who famously beat Golden Horn in the 2015 G1

Juddmonte International.

1.40 Newmarket, Debutantes, ,5,400, 2yo, f, 7fT

LOOKTOTHERAINBOW (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}) is a half-sister to the

four-times Group 1-winning miler Ribchester (Ire) (Iffraaj {GB})

who is introduced in the race Charlie Appleby also chose for his

past Dubawi luminary Wuheida (GB). The March-foaled bay is

one of two Godolphin runners alongside the Saeed bin Suroor-

trained Late Morning (Ire) (Dawn Approach {Ire}), whose dam is

a half to the GI Breeders= Cup Juvenile Turf-winning sire Outstrip

(GB) (Exceed and Excel {Aus}).

2.00 Cork, Mdn, i15,500, 2yo, f, 8fT

LIGHT OF MY EYES (IRE) (Frankel {GB}) is the latest progeny out

of the Niarchos Family=s five-times Group 1-winning dual Classic

heroine Divine Proportions (Kingmambo) and therefore a half-

sister to a trio of black-type winners. Jessie Harrington saddles

the late May foal, who like Ballydoyle=s fellow newcomer La

Joconde (Ire) (Frankel {GB}) may need more time. That half-

sister to this year=s G1 Irish Derby hero Santiago (Ire)

(Authorized {Ire}) was purchased for Coolmore by the

Broadhurst Agency for 850,000gns at last year=s Tattersalls

the leading duo throughout the early stages. In front at the top

winner for his first-season sire (by Acclamation {GB}). The dam

slightly as she had there but was soon in touch under cover.

Sent up the inner in the straight, the 10-11 favourite was in

front in the last 50 yards to score a neck from Bint Australia (Ire)

(Australia {GB}). The dam, who captured the G1 Prix Jean

JACK DUGGAN (c, 2, Jack Milton--Unbridled Treasure, by

Unbridled=s Song), who was largely unconsidered at 20-1 on this

racecourse bow, was held up early worse than mid-division and

allowed to creep into the contest by the home bend. Shaken up

to take over passing the furlong pole, the homebred asserted to

score by 1 3/4 lengths from Skilled Warrior (Ire) (Holy Roman

Emperor {Ire}). Eternal Flame (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}), the full-brother

to Winter (Ire), made steady progress late to be fourth. Jockey

Rory Cleary said, AHe=s a lovely horse, he travelled really well

and strongly into the straight and brought me there nice and

easy and picked up smartly. I think there=s a lot of improvement

in him and hopefully he could be a good horse in the making. He

has been working nicely at home and the boss man was very

confident with him. He said to give him every chance. The boss

man has the dam, so he=s a nice horse to have in the yard.@ The

dam, whose Future Covenant (Wildcat Heir) was staked-placed

in the States, is a half to the stable=s G1 Phoenix S. and G1

Moyglare Stud S. winner and G1 1000 Guineas-placed Saoirse

Abu (Mr. Greeley) and to the dam of the multiple listed-winning

postward for this seventh black-type outing coming back off a
