SWEET LORETTA HEADS SCHUYLERVILLE ENTRIESBy Alastair Bull

The expensive weanling purchase Sweet Loretta is

one of nine juvenile fillies who will contest the first

graded race when the 148th Saratoga Race Course meet

opens July 22.

Each of the fillies entered in the $150,000 Schuyler-

ville Stakes (gr. III) at Saratoga has already won, including

St. Elias Stable's Sweet Loretta (Tapit), a filly highlighted

in Blood-Horse Daily's Races to Watch prior to her sev-

en-length debut victory June 18 at Monmouth Park.

Sweet Loretta, a $750,000 2014 Keeneland Novem-

ber purchase, is trained by Todd Pletcher. She will leave

from post position four under John Velazquez.

The most impressive of her opponents is the Cana-

dian-bred Made Me Shiver (Maclean's Music). The Steve

Asmussen-trained filly, raced by her breeder Hill 'n' Dale

Equine Holdings along with Joel Quenneville, was a 5

3/4-length winner at Churchill Downs June 17, her only

start.

A $150,000 purchase at the Fasig-Tipton Kentucky

November sale as a weanling in 2014, Made Me Shiver

will be ridden by Irad Ortiz Jr.

Two of the fillies have tasted defeat: Lightning Dove

(Uncle Mo) and Harlands Thunder (Harlan's Holiday),

EQUINE WELFARE LAWS CONSIDEREDBy Frank Angst

A Kentucky Department of Agriculture council will

consider changes to the law that would allow lo-

cal officials to more quickly take possession of horses

when they are determined to be abandoned.

The Kentucky Equine Health Welfare Council July

19 in Frankfort, Ky. unanimously approved a motion

to examine changes to animal welfare laws. The

council, chaired by Rusty Ford, the equine programs

manager for the Kentucky State Veterinarian's Office,

meets on an as-needed basis and Tuesday's meeting

followed the alleged abandonment of 43 horses at a

farm in Mercer County.

Officials with the Kentucky Department of Agricul-

ture on June 29 charged trainer Maria Borell and her

father, Charles "Chuck" Borell, each with 43 counts of

second-degree cruelty to animals in connection with

the abandonment of horses at the 121-acre farm in

Central Kentucky.

Bradley Keough, deputy state veterinarian, attend-

ed the meeting and noted that the Mercer County

investigation continues. Without specifically talking

about that situation, Keough said that Kentucky laws

could be clarified to more easily allow officials to take

possession of horses after they are declared aban-

doned.

Keough said current Kentucky statutes regarding

the abandonment of smaller animals, like cats and

dogs, more readily allows local enforcement officials

to take possession of animals.

"Where it's not clear (on horses and livestock) in

the statute is what I can do with that animal," Keough

said, before noting how the law played out in Mer-

cer County. "Initially it was unclear if we could seize

them, take them, what we could do. I think if it was

more clear-cut to that county attorney that 'yes if you

have the Department of Agriculture determining the

horses are abandoned, then this law says you can go

to the judge and get ownership relinquished immedi-

ately so that you can do something with them with-

out repercussions and potential civil liability'."

Council member Bob Stout, of the office of state

veterinarian, said when dealing with larger animals

it's important to consider the ramifications of new

regulations and put protocols in place ahead of time.

Ford said that he will meet with Stout on some

ideas and exchange ideas with the full council. The

council could then present a formal recommendation

to the Kentucky Department of Agriculture. He said

such a recommendation could be made by this fall.

Joe Bilby, general counsel for the Kentucky Depart-

ment of Agriculture, noted that it could be useful to

separate statutes that define the criminal offense of

neglect, abuse, and abandonment from the statute

that allows officials to take possession of animals. He

noted that in terms of defining the criminal offense,

it's important to include language that addresses in-

tent because it is not infrequent for such neglect cas-

es to be tied to people who may be suffering demen-

tia, mental illness, or who have simply gotten in over

their heads. But such a standard may not be needed

to step in and take possession of ailing horses. BH

MILESTONE FOR SUCCESSFUL APPEALBy Alastair Bull

Appealing Maggie became the 50th black-type

stakes winner for Walmac Farm stallion Success-

ful Appeal when she won the Miss Woodford Stakes

July 17.

Out of the Tale of the Cat mare Belgian Chocolate,

the $35,000 2014 Keeneland September yearling sale

purchase was a 3 3/4-length winner of the Mon-

mouth Park stakes for 3-year-old fillies.

Bred in Florida, Successful Appeal is a son of Valid

Appeal (In Reality) out of the Fortunate Prospect

mare Successful Dancer. His victories included the

A.G. Vanderbilt Handicap, the Withers Stakes, the

Kentucky Cup Sprint Stakes, and the Cowdin Stakes

(all grade II races).

Successful Appeal began his stud career with

Hartley/De Renzo Thoroughbreds in his native state

in 2001 for a $5,000 fee before moving to Walmac

Farm in 2004.

His progeny include Del Mar Futurity (gr. I) winner

J P's Gusto, Queen Elizabeth II Challenge Cup (gr. IT)

victor Her Emmynency, Spinaway Stakes (gr. I) winner

Appealing Zophie, and Argentine group I winner Suc-

cessful Affair. He is also the sire of Canadian champi-

on turf female Solid Appeal, a grade II winner.

Successful Appeal's fee reached $40,000 at its

height in 2007 and 2008. He presently stands for

$10,000. BH

2015 SARATOGA SALE TOPPER IN SPA WITH CLEMENTBy Ron Mitchell

Glory Or Nothing, the son of Tapit purchased by

El Capi Racing for $2 million to top the 2015

Fasig-Tipton Saratoga selected yearling sale, is back

in the Spa with trainer Christophe Clement.

Following his purchase, the colt produced from

the grade III-winning Galileo mare Dress Rehearsal

was sent to Stonestreet Farm near Ocala, Fla., where

he was broken and received his early training before

being sent to Clement, according to Ramiro Restre-

po, a Fasig-Tipton marketing representative based in

Miami.

Ben Sangster bred the colt in Ireland and Four

Star Sales consigned him to the Saratoga sale.

Also in training with Clement in Saratoga and

nearing her career debut is Love in Tokyo, a Tiznow

filly bought by El Capi for $400,000 from the Lane’s

End consignment at the 2015 Saratoga sale. The filly

is out of stakes-placed Awesome Again mare Lisa T.,

a half sister to 2010 Kentucky Derby Presented by

Yum! Brands (gr. I) winner Super Saver.

According to Restrepo, the filly is more precocious

than Glory Or Nothing and is scheduled to make her

first career start opening weekend of the Saratoga

race meet that begins July 22. BH

O B HARBOR FASTEST IN SWIFT MT. RAINIERBy Frank Angst

Dedicated to You and Its Allabout Jerry earned

career-best Equibase Speed Figures that ranked

as the week's second- and third-best numbers, but

those efforts were not good enough for victory as

the two finished second and third,

respectively, to O B Harbor in a swift

edition of the Mt. Rainier Stakes July

17 at Emerald Downs.

Despite the week's top speed

figures all coming in the Mt. Rainier,

One Horse Will Do Corporation's O

B Harbor faced little challenge as he

enjoyed a clear lead throughout and

held safely for a two-length score in

the 1 1/16-mile race for 3-year-olds

and older, completed in 1:41.05.

"I can't believe how O B Harbor

can maintain his speed in a mile

race," said winning jockey Jose Zun-

ino. "He went fast early, but he kept

going. He's got a big heart and he's a

nice horse."

Trained by Chris Stenslie, O B Harbor secured his

fourth straight win and third straight stakes win as

the 4-year-old Harbor the Gold gelding stayed perfect

for 2016. The 118 Equibase Speed Figure marked a

career-high for O B Harbor, who has earned an ESF

of 115 or higher in his three straight stakes wins. BH

POSTPONED SEEKS TO JOIN ELITE GROUPBy Blood-Horse Staff

Postponed is among 10 runners confirmed for the

66th running of the group I King George VI and

Queen Elizabeth Stakes (sponsored by Qipco), in

which he will bid to become a rare repeat winner of

the race July 23 at Ascot.

The King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes is

worth a joint-record purse of £1.215 million ($1.591

million).The winner of the 1 1/2-mile race will earn an

automatic, fees-paid berth into the Longines Breed-

ers' Cup Turf (gr. IT) Nov. 5 at Santa Anita Park.

Owned by Sheikh Mohammed Obaid Al Maktoum,

Postponed triumphed by a nose from Eagle Top in

2015 and is unbeaten in three outings for trainer

Roger Varian this season. A victory Saturday would

make him only the third repeat winner of the race

first run in 1951, joining Dahlia (1973, 1974) and

Swain (1997, 1998).

Postponed, a 5-year-old son of Dubawi and cur-

rently the highest-rate horse in Europe, began the

year at Meydan, Dubai, where he was successful in

the Dubai City of Gold (UAE-II) and Dubai Sheema

Classic (UAE-I). On his return to Europe, he was the

imperious 4 1/2-length winner of the Queen Elizabeth

II Coronation Cup (Eng-I) June 4 at Epsom Downs. Sta-

ble companion Ajman Bridge is the likely pacemaker.

Queen Elizabeth II landed the race named in hon-

or of her parents back in 1954 with Aureole. In 2016,

the year of her 90th birthday, she is set to be repre-

sented by Dartmouth, who was supplemented for

the race at a cost of £75,000. Trained by Sir Michael

Stoute, the 4-year-old Dubawi colt will attempt to

follow the same path as Aureole, having also won the

Hardwicke Stakes (Eng-II) over the same distance at

Royal Ascot June 18.

Wings of Desire, a full brother to Eagle Top, was

well-supported for the Investec Epsom Derby (Eng-I),

having landed the Betfred Dante Stakes (Eng-II) in

May. The son of Pivotal ran an excellent race at Ep-

som Downs to finish fourth behind Harzand.

France-based Erupt was recently runner-up in

the Grand-Prix de Saint-Cloud (Fr-I) for trainer Fran-

cis-Henri Graffard. The 4-year-old son of Dubawi was

successful last season in the Juddmonte Grand Prix

de Paris (Fr-I) and also ran excellent races when fifth

in the Qatar Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe (Fr-I) and sixth

in the Japan Cup (Jpn-I).

Alan Cooper, racing manager to Erupt's owner/

breeder the Niarchos family, said Erupt pleased jock-

ey Stephane Pasquier in a morning gallop.

"He is a group I winner over a mile and a half at

Longchamp, although it will be a step up for him at

Ascot," Cooper said. "It looks a superb race."

Ireland's champion trainer Aidan O'Brien has

three entries, headed by 4-year-old Highland Reel,

winner last year of the Secretariat (gr. IT) in the Unit-

ed States and the Longines Hong Kong Vase (HK-I)

and the runner-up by a head to Dartmouth in the

Hardwicke Stakes. BH

PROGRESS WITH WV OUT-OF-COMPETITION TESTINGBy Tom LaMarra

Regulators and track executives in West Virginia

hope to have about 50% of the starters in two

upcoming graded stakes tested out of competition as

part of a launch of the program in the state.

Officials are in the process of determining the like-

ly starters for the $750,000 West Virginia Derby (gr.

II), which will be run Aug. 6 at Mountaineer Casino,

Racetrack & Resort. Nominations for the 1 1/8-mile

Derby close July 25.

"Our intent is to have 50% of the field for the Der-

by tested (out of competition)," West Virginia Racing

Commission executive director Joe Moore said July

19. "That's the process in place in Kentucky as well,

so that would be our goal with both the Derby and

the Oaks."

The $350,000 Charles Town Oaks (gr. III) is sched-

uled for Sept. 17 at Hollywood Casino at Charles

Town Races.

WVRC member Bill Phillips, who attended recent

meetings of the Association of Racing Commission-

ers International, noted regulators have formed a

committee to perhaps modify the existing model rule

on out-of-competition testing. He said WVRC deputy

attorney general Kelli Talbott

has been asked to participate

in the review.

"It appears to me that we

are out in front of it in West

Virginia," Phillips said. "We

should continue down this

road as much as possible."

In other business at the

July 19 racing commission

meeting, Charles Town was

approved to make up three

lost racing programs Oct.

12-13 and Dec. 30. They are

three of seven days the track

lost earlier this year because

of a stalled racing surface

renovation and weather con-

ditions.

The WVRC had agreed that

all seven programs would be

made up, but circumstances

led to a change in that position. Charles Town in the

fiscal year that just began will lose about $1.2 million

in purse revenue from video lottery terminals be-

cause of legislative action, so management and the

Charles Town Horsemen's Benevolent and Protective

Association agreed to make up only three days.

The Charles Town HBPA in a letter, however, said

the agreement doesn't include any racing programs

that could be canceled between now and the end of

the year.

Meanwhile, the West Virginia Racing Commission

July 19 signed off on $1,170,000 in funding for purses

for the 30th edition of the West Virginia Breeders'

Classics Oct. 8 at Charles Town.

The nine-race program for West Virginia-accred-

ited racehorses will be highlighted by the $500,000

West Virginia Breeders' Classic for 3-year-olds and up

at 1 1/8 miles. Total purses for the evening program

are up $90,000 from 2015.

The Breeders' Classic remains the richest state-

bred stakes in the United States.

The second-richest race of the program is the

$150,000 West Virginia Cavada Breeders' Classic for

fillies and mares at seven furlongs. There will be two

$80,000 stakes, four $75,000 stakes, and one $60,000

stakes on the program. BH

MUNNINGS SHOWING VERSATILITY AS A SIRE

One surprising facet of champion sprinter Spei-

ghtstown's stud career has been his ability

to get runners that excel at distances significantly

beyond his own optimum trip. Examples include

Haynesfield, who took the Jockey Club Gold Cup

(gr. I); Travers Stakes (gr. I) dead-heater Golden

Ticket; Belmont Derby (gr. IT) winner Force the

Pass; and Seek Again, successful in the Hollywood

Derby (gr. IT)--all contested at 1 1/4 miles.

It's early days for Speightstown's son Mun-

nings, but he is beginning to display the same

versatility. Munnings was best at seven furlongs,

winning the Woody Stephens Stakes (gr. II), Tom

Fool Handicap (gr. II), and Gulfstream Park Sprint

Championship (gr. II), and he was three times

grade I-placed. He did, however, show form

farther, notably when second in the Cham-

pagne Stakes (gr. I) at a mile and third in the

Haskell Invitational Stakes (gr. I) at 1 1/8 miles

after setting some demanding early fractions.

Munnings is certainly capable of transmit-

ting speed: of the 15 stakes winners in his

first two crops, Catalina Red, Ben's Duchess,

and No Problem are all graded winners at

sprint trips. However, his best son, Om—who

famously had American Pharoah behind him

when winning his debut at 2—has captured the

Del Mar Derby (gr. IIT) and Twilight Derby (gr. IIT),

both over 1 1/8 miles.

On July 16, Munnings sired his first 1 1/4-mile

stakes winner when his daughter I'm a Chatterbox

captured the Delaware Handicap (gr. I). This was

the fourth graded stakes win for I'm a Chatterbox

and her second grade I, following the Cotillion

Stakes last year. An Eclipse Award finalist in 2015,

she was also runner-up in the Coaching Club

American Oaks (gr. I) and Alabama Stakes (gr. I),

and third in the Longines Kentucky Oaks (gr. I).

I'm a Chatterbox's dam Chit Chatter is a sister

to Chatter Chatter, a multiple stakes winner at 2 in

Florida-bred company and subsequently the dam

of two stakes winners, including Speightstown's

daughter That's How I Roll. The granddam Bed-

room Chatter (Cure the Blues) is a sister to stakes

winner Bedroom Blues and is closely related to

Music Merci, a winner of six graded events, includ-

ing the Del Mar Futurity (gr. I). Music Merci is by

Cure the Blues' sire Stop the Music out of a sister

to the granddam of Bedroom Chatter.

I'm a Chatterbox has a well-constructed pedi-

gree. She's inbred 4 x 3 to Lady Winborne, Mun-

nings' third dam and the dam of I'm a Chatter-

box's broodmare sire Lost Soldier. She also has a

double of the Northern Dancer/Secretariat cross

through Lost Soldier and through Speightstown's

broodmare sire Storm Cat, as well as carrying

Secretariat's three-quarter sister Speedwell, the

granddam of Cure the Blues. BH

CI indicates the average earnings of progeny produced from mares bred to one sire, when these same mares were bred to other sires.

Listed below is a comparison of statistics for only North American racing with all available statistics through July 18, 2016.
