PALACE MALICE LOOKS TO KEEP HIS THRONE Consensus leading older horse Palace Malice (Curlin)looks to further solidify his spot atop the division intoday=s $1.5-million GI Whitney H., a AWin and You=re
In@ qualifier for theGI Breeders= CupClassic. Lastyear=s GI BelmontS. winner addedthe GII Jim DandyS. over Will TakeCharge(Unbridled=s Song)and Moreno(Ghostzapper)some 53 weeksago, but couldonly manage aclose fourthbehind that pairand GI KentuckyDerby hero Orb(Malibu Moon) in
the GI Travers S. He checked in a distant runner-up tolongshot Ron the Greek (Full Mandate) in Belmont=s GIJockey Club Gold Cup Invitational S., but was adisappointing sixth in the GI Breeders= Cup Classic atSanta Anita in November. Since then, there=s been nostopping Palace Malice. The Dogwood runner edged outGolden Ticket (Speightstown) after seeming surely beatin the GII Gulfstream Park H. Mar. 8, and poured it onfor easy victories in the GII New Orleans H. Mar. 29and Belmont=s GIII Westchester S. May 11. The baydefeated a very strong field last time in the June 7 GIMetropolitan H., and should be fresh and ready off ashort break. "I think you certainly have to put theWhitney up there as one of the most coveted prizes inAmerican racing," commented trainer Todd Pletcher,who racked up a third renewal of this race last yearwith Cross Traffic (Unbridled=s Song). "It's a historicrace. It's the focal race for older horses at our mostprestigious meet. It carries a lot of weight forchampionship honors. It's a race we hold in very highregard." Cont. p3
TRAINERS UNITE FOR LASIX BAN A group of 25 North American trainers, including Hallof Famers D. Wayne Lukas and Shug McGaughey, andleading trainer Todd Pletcher, havejoined forces and have proposed thegradual elimination of racedaymedication in the United States.Under the proposal, no 2-year-oldswould receive raceday medicationbeginning in 2015, and no horses ofany age would receive racedaymedication starting in 2016. Inaddition, this group is supportive ofthe Racing Medication & TestingConsortium's efforts to approvemodel rules for 26 controlledmedications by the RCI Board ofDirectors. "We believe it's time totake a proactive position regarding the administration ofraceday medication,@ Lukas commented. AAmericanracing has always been a global leader, and it's time torestore confidence in our game and in our internationalstanding." The complete group of trainers includes:Thomas Albertrani; Roger Attfield; Christophe Clement;Jose Corrales; David Donk; Neil D. Drysdale; JeremiahC. Englehart; Eoin Harty; Neil Howard; Michael E.Hushion; D. Wayne Lukas; Richard E. Mandella; ClaudeR. McGaughey III; Kiaran P. McLaughlin; Kenneth G.McPeek; H. Graham Motion; William I.

Willis Horton and Three Chimneys Farm=s Will TakeCharge earned 2013 champion 3-year-old honorsthanks to scores in the Travers, GII Pennsylvania Derby,GI Clark H. and a nose second in the GI Breeders= Cup
Classic. Second inboth the GI Donn H.and GI Santa AnitaH. in February andMarch, respectively,the chestnutreturned to winningways in a roughlyrun renewal of theGII Oaklawn H. Apr.12. A full dance cardappeared to havegotten the better ofWill Take Chargewhen he finished
sixth at 3-5 odds in Churchill=s GII Alysheba S. May 2,but the son of MGISW Take Charge Lady (Dehere)bounced right back to finish a good second beneath theTwin Spires in the GI Stephen Foster H. last time June14. Trainer D. Wayne Lukas wasn=t pleased when his>charge= drew the rail in the Whitney, but wouldn=tchange places with anyone otherwise. "He's quite ahorse, and I think he's the best horse in the countryright now," Lukas said. "We have to go out and proveit; prove it a couple of different times, I'm sure--three,four more times to get where we want to get... I feellike he's still the champion, and I feel very good aboutthe fact that we all get together on the sameracetrack." One could do much worse than TrilogyStable and Laurie Plesa=s Itsmyluckyday (Lawyer Ron)at 12-1 on the morning line.
Last year=s GI Preakness S. runner-up was four in theGulfstream Park H., but has tallied a trio of stakesvictories at Monmouth since. Eddie Plesa, Jr.=s chargemost recently annexed the GIII Salvator Mile July 6,and was flattered when two-three finishers, Bradester(Lion Heart) and Valid (Medaglia d=Oro), finished two-one in the GII Monmouth Cup six days ago.

OPEN HOUSE For a race that has been graced by the likes ofIslington (Ire) (Sadler=s Wells), Russian Rhythm(Kingmambo), Alexander Goldrun (Ire) (Gold Away{Ire}), Ouija Board (GB) (Cape Cross {Ire}), PeepingFawn (Danehill), Midday (GB) (Oasis Dream {GB}) andThe Fugue (GB) (Dansili {GB}) in recent years, today=srenewal of the G1 Nassau S. at Goodwood is verymuch under standard and up for grabs. The mostaccomplished among the protagonists is SusanMagnier=s Venus de Milo (Ire) (Duke of Marmalade{Ire}). Second to one of the major Nassau absentees inThistle Bird (GB) (Selkirk) in The Curragh=s G1 PrettyPolly S. last time June 29, last year=s G1 Irish Oaks andG1 Yorkshire Oaks runner-up has shown all her bestform over 12 furlongs. AA mile and a quarter is as shortas she=d want to go, but she=s in good form, will lovethe fast ground and we think the track will suit herwell,@ trainer Aidan O=Brien explained. AShe=s in goodform and we have to keep her busy, as she=s a difficulthorse to keep fit. She can run here and then go toYork.@ Carrying all before them this season is the JohnGosden yard, and the two Clarehaven runners Sultanina(GB) (New Approach {Ire}) and Eastern Belle (GB)(Champs Elysees {GB}) are impossible to ignore.Normandie Stud=s Sultanina took the G3 Pinnacle S.over nearly 12 furlongs at Haydock at the end of Maybefore returning to the same track and trip to be secondto stable companion Pomology (Arch) in the G2 Lancashire Oaks July 5. Anthony Oppenheimer=sEastern Belle broke her maiden at the fifth attemptwhen last seen in the Listed Lord Weinstock MemorialS. over 10 furlongs at Newbury June 12, and on theface of it has more to find. AThere is rain coming in themorning, which clears for racing, and a little bit wouldmake a big difference to Sultanina,@ Gosden said.AEastern Belle was second in the Listed Height ofFashion S. here in the soft, is a tough 3-year-old fillyand this is the kind of race to have a go in.@

TWELVE LOOK TO PASS THE TEST An extremely intriguing group of 12 3-year-old filliesare set to contest Saratoga=s historic GI Test S. thisafternoon. Treadway Racing Stable=s Sweet Reason(Street Sense) appears the one to beat considering thespeed signed on andher record around oneturn. The baysplashed home adecisive winner in anoff-the-turfer heresome 51 weeks ago,and handled the GISpinaway S. fieldwith similar ease thefollowing month. Shesettled for secondafter a tardy start inBelmont=s GI FrizetteS., and was fourth inthe GI Breeders= CupJuvenile Fillies. Sweet Reason resurfaced to take anAqueduct optional claimer on the inner track Mar. 7 bya better-than-it-looked half-length, and was a well-beaten third behind GI Kentucky Oaks heroine and J “TDN Rising Star” J My Miss Sophia (Unbridled=sSong) in that venue=s nine-panel GII Gazelle S. Apr. 5.Realizing that she was probably best around one bend,Sweet Reason=s connections opted to wait forBelmont=s GI Acorn S. June 7 rather than press on toLouisville, and they were rewarded when their chargedefeated >Rising Star= Sweet Whiskey (Old Fashioned)by a half-length under a perfect Irad Ortiz ride. "She'sreally turned a corner this year with her breezes," saidtrainer Leah Gyarmati, who has overseen a worktab forSweet Reason that includes three bullet drills since theAcorn. "She's never been this kind of work horse andnow every time she works she's been right there. She'sjust growing up." Ashbrook Farm=s Southern Honey(Colonel John) has done very little wrong in her lastthree tries, and enters off a field-best 99 Beyer SpeedFigure. She donned cap and gown by an emphatic 5 3/4-length margin third up at Keeneland Apr. 5, andwas similarly dominant in a Churchill optional claimergoing this distance on the Oaks undercard May 2.

The bay faced older opponents back at that track inthe May 26 GIII Winning Colors S., but the result wasthe same--she defeated the ill-fated Socialbug (Curlin)by 1 1/2 lengths. Rusty Arnold, who won the 2001Test with Victory Ride (Seeking the Gold), saddlesSouthern Honey. Barry K. Schwartz homebred PrincessViolet (Officer) cuts back to a distance she=s likelybetter suited for. The Mike Hushion trainee came upjust a neck short at 42-1 odds to eventual GIII IowaOaks heroine Size (First Samurai) first out in Hallandale Mar. 16 before easily besting state-breds at AqueductApr. 6 and Belmont May 16. While no match forUntapable (Tapit) after setting the pace in the 8 1/2-panel GI Mother Goose S. at Belmont June 28, she didhold on for second.
RISING STAR >BAK= FOR VANDERBILT Mr. and Mrs. William K. Warren Jr.=s lightly raced J “TDN Rising Star” J Bakken (Distorted Humor)seeks his first graded stakes victory in today=s GI AlfredH. Vanderbilt H. The $450,000 KEESEP yearling was an
impressive maiden andfirst-level allowancewinner downstate lastfall, and concluded hissophomore campaignwith a fifth-place runin Santa Anita=s GIMalibu S. the dayafter Christmas. Heresurfaced inBelmont=s GII TrueNorth S. June 6, andfinished a solidenough second to
perfect-trip Palace (City Zip) considering it was just thefourth start of his career. "It was a good performancefor his first start off the layoff, and it should have him alot tighter for this one," offered trainer Chad Brown.Antonino Miuccio=s Palace, claimed for just $20,000 in2012, has been off the board in just two of 15 triessince being scooped up by Linda Rice. He strungtogether a trio of stakes wins last term, culminatingwith a tally over Grade I winners Strapping Groom(Johannesburg) and The Lumber Guy (Grand Slam) inAqueduct=s GIII Fall Highweight H. in November. Hewent winless in three subsequent efforts before theTrue North, and was most recently second in ClearlyNow (Horse Greeley)=s record-breaking GIII BelmontSprint Championship S. over an additional furlong July5. AWe're happy about shortening him up,@ said Rice,whose charge boasts a 10-5-4-1 record at six panels.AIt's exciting to have this chance to run Palace in theVanderbilt. It's coming up on two years since weclaimed him, and now to be running in a Grade I atSaratoga with him is special.@ Happy My Way (Wilko)figures to be a formidable foe on the front end. Cont. p7

"He seems to like Gulfstream Park so much,and he ran a big race there last year," Orseno said,referring to the successful trip to Baltimore last timeand a third over the local sod in an optional claimer lastAugust.

BC BERTH UP FOR GRABS IN HIRSCH Seven fillies and mares, trained by just threeconditioners in total, look to secure a spot in thestarting gate for the GI Breeders= Cup Distaff in DelMar=s GI Clement L. Hirsch S. this evening. HronisRacing=s Iotapa (Afleet Alex) would be somewhere inthe conversation for best older fillies or mares in theland off a smashing 10 1/4-length tour de force inSanta Anita=s GI Vanity H. last out June 14. The formerclaimer, who has never raced at Del Mar but sports a 3-1-2-0 record over the Hollywood synthetic, earned agaudy 109 Beyer Speed Figure for her last effort. Thedark bay also annexed the GII Santa Maria S. inFebruary, book-ended by runner-up finishes in both theGII Santa Monica S. in January and GII Santa MargaritaS. in March. Her lone off-the-board finish was a last-of-six run in Churchill=s GI Humana Distaff two backMay 3. In addition to Iotapa, John Sadler sends outMichael Talla=s More Chocolate (Malibu Moon) and Jain,Opas and Sinatra=s Legacy (Sightseeing). The formerwas second here a year ago, but has not been seensince finishing off the board in Santa Anita=s GI Zenyatta S. in September and grassy GII GoldikovaS. in November. Cont. p8

Trainers Unite cont.
AThe medication issue is definitely something thatneeds to be dealt with and if we can get somethingdone nationally, even better,@ Motion said whenreached for comment yesterday. AThe program thestates came up with early on in the year--the Mid-Atlantic Uniform Medication Program--that was a bigstart trying to get all states on board that have thesame medication policies. The problem I have withmedication in this country, is dealing with differentrules with every state that we go to, and I don=t thinkthe general public has any idea how complicated that isfor us. I very much endorse it [the Mid-Atlantic UniformMedication Program] and it=s a big step to having anational policy or as close as we are going to get tohave a national policy on medication. I think this is astep further.@ Motion continued, AI think by bringing up this idea ofeliminating race-day medication, ultimately that=severybody=s goal and is something we would like to seehappen. That is why I=m becoming part of that. Theproblem we have in our industry is that nobody isbringing everyone together to have any kind of anational policy. I think by the trainers at least comingforward with this proposal it starts a conversationabout having a national policy. There are a lot of thingsthat come with that. The biggest thing is going to beenforcing the rules as they come into place. It=s all verywell having rules, but if they aren=t able to enforcethem if it ever happens, it=s not going to get usanywhere.@
Bob Curran Jr. of The Jockey Club was equallythrilled by the development. AWe=re heartened by the statement from such aprominent and accomplished and experienced group oftrainers,@ he told TDN. AThe Jockey Club has longadvocated for the practice of horses competing freefrom the influence of medication and this is right in linewith that.@
AOn behalf of the Board of Directors of Breeders= CupLimited, we want to acknowledge and applaud thecourage of the trainers who have recently pledged theirsupport for the gradual elimination of the use ofauthorized medications on raceday in the United States. The Breeders= Cup has long advocated for policies thatwould bring the U.S. in line with other majorinternational racing jurisdictions and we fully supportthis group of prominent trainers. We believe a broadcoalition of tracks and owners also share this view andwe are committed to provide support, financial andotherwise, to an effort to implement on a national basisphasing out raceday medications. We look forward toparticipating in this initiative to create a workable planwith others in the industry, including the forward-looking trainers who are signatory to this statement, allof whom are long-time supporters of the Breeders=Cup.@ --Breeders= Cup Chairman Bill Farish & Breeders= Cup President & CEO Craig Fravel

What They=re Saying cont.
AI think--especially the fact that internationally,horsemen don=t run on Lasix--that it [race-daymedication] is a problem that American racing needs todeal with at some point. It is probably as good a timeas any.@ --trainer Ken McPeek
APETA supports the proposal by leading trainers tophase out race-day medications, beginning withbanning Lasix for 2-year-old Thoroughbreds in 2015and ending Lasix use for horses of all ages in 2016. AsPETA's recent investigation revealed, Lasix, a dangerous diuretic that is used to lessen the effects ofpulmonary bleeding, is often used to gain an advantagerather than for valid medical reasons, because it makeshorses lighter and faster. We urge the trainers whoback this proposal, including Todd Pletcher, Bill Mott,and D. Wayne Lukas, to turn the proposal into actionby being the first to dump Lasix in the trash can, whereit belongs.@ --PETA Senior Vice President, KathyGuillermo
WE ARE DISQUALIFIED FROM SAINT-ALARY George Strawbridge=s homebred 3-year-old filly WeAre (Ire) (Dansili {GB}) has been disqualified from hervictory in the May 25 G1 Prix Saint-Alary--as well as aSaint-Cloud conditions race May 1--after returningabnormal levels of testosterone related to an ovariantumor. Connections have said they will not appeal thedecision by France-Galop. We Are, who carried an unbeaten record through herfirst three outings for trainer Freddy Head, wasamongst the favorites for the G1 Prix de Diane June15, but was ruled out of that Classic after Headexpressed displeasure with her condition. The tumorwas detected shortly thereafter and surgically removed.Due to the unusual source of the testosterone, Headand Strawbridge will not be held responsible orcharged. "It is terrible news,@ said Head. "She never missed aday and was very sound. She had those three races insix or seven weeks and had never been stopped. Wewere obviously aiming her at the Prix de Diane, butthen this happened.@ Head also offered a positive update on We Are.

Head noted that We Arewas unlikely to target theBreeders= Cup, but couldpoint towards the G1 Prix del=Arc de Triomphe Oct. 5,with the Hong KongInternational meeting inDecember a possibilitythereafter. James Wigan, racingmanager to Strawbridge, toldRacing Post that Strawbridge
was Ashocked@, but taking the decision sportingly. "It was a shock to Mr. Strawbridge at the time,"Wigan told the trade daily. "They've taken quite a harshview of things [to disqualify], but it is totally the correctdecision even though they've not made any allowancesfor the fact that it was endogenous production oftestosterone.

WISE DAN TO BYPASS FOURSTARDAVE Morton Fink=s two-time reigning Horse of the YearWise Dan (Wiseman=s Ferry) will skip the GIIFourstardave H. at Saratoga Aug. 9, according totrainer Charlie LoPresti. The chestnut, last seencapturing his second straight GI Woodford Reserve TurfClassic S. at Churchill Downs on the GI Kentucky Derbyundercard, is under consideration for either the Aug. 30GII Bernard Baruch H. or the GI Woodward S. or the GIWoodbine Mile Sept. 14. "I feel like I'm playingcatch-up to try to make [the Fourstardave]," LoPrestisaid. "He's basically had two half-miles and afive-eighths. He worked good the other day, but I'dreally have to set him down again [to make theFourstardave]. If I waited for the Bernard Baruch, theWoodward, or the Woodbine Mile, it would give me alittle more time. I'm really just tightening the screws."Wise Dan has posted three breezes since undergoingcolic surgery May 16. "When I bring that horse over torun, I want him to be 150%, and I feel like I'm reallytrying to squish everything in to get to theFourstardave," LoPresti continued. "I really want to runin the Fourstardave. I'd love to win it three years in arow. I'm not worried about any of the horses running init, but I'm worried about my horse."

KINGMAN REMATCH FOR CHARM SPIRIT Trainer Freddy Head has issued an upbeat bulletin onG1 Prix Jean Prat winner Charm Spirit (Ire) (InvincibleSpirit {Ire}), and noted that he would not shy awayfrom a rematch with Kingman (GB) (Invincible Spirit{Ire}) in the G1 Queen Elizabeth S. at Ascot Oct. 18. "He's a very nice horse--he's very tough andimproving," said Head. "I like him a lot. Maybe we'll
aim him at the QueenElizabeth at Ascot--thatcould be his target. I thinkwe might bypass thesummer with him, thenkeep him fresh for the endof the season.@ Charm Spirit finishedfifth, beaten 3 3/4 lengths,behind Night of Thunder(Ire) (Dubawi {Ire}) andKingman in the G1 2000Guineas May 3 prior towinning the G3 Prix Paul
de Moussac June 7 and the Prix Jean Prat at ChantillyJuly 14. "We won't be scared of Kingman if he turns up--weweren't too far behind him in the Guineas,@ Headadded. "Charm Spirit wasn't well that day, either. Hedidn't enjoy the journey over and looking at him in thepaddock I didn't think he looked in great shape. He'simproved a lot since then."
TORONADO FINE AFTER SUSSEX DEFEAT Dual Group 1-winning miler Toronado (Ire) (HighChaparral {Ire}) has exited his second-place finish inWednesday=s G1 Sussex S. in good order, according totrainer Richard Hannon. Toronado went down by alength to the John Gosden-trained Kingman (GB)(Invincible Spirit {Ire}) while attempting to defend his
Sussex title, and Hannonadmitted that Al ShaqabRacing=s 4-year-old was simplybeat by a better horse onthe day. "Toronado has comeout of it fine--we're veryproud of him," Hannontold Racing UK. "I thinkthe race was run to suitus--I don't think we were
unlucky or anything. We got first run, we were handier,we were just beaten by a very good horse--he's a star.@ Hannon added that Toronado would likely travel toFrance for his next target. "He'll stay at a mile,@ the conditioner said. AHe mightgo for the [G1] Jacques le Marois [Aug. 17 at Deauville]or the [G1] Moulin [de Longchamp Sept. 14]--basicallyavoid that Gosden bloke! We might have another go at[Kingman] somewhere--we probably will and you can'tsay the result might be different, but we'll see.@
Hannon also noted that Michael Daniels= Windshear(GB) (Hurricane Run {Ire}), second in Wednesday=s G3 Gordon S. at Glorious Goodwood, will go to the G1 St Leger at Doncaster Sept. 13. "He didn't come down the hill [at Goodwood] verywell, he got a bit unbalanced, but Doncaster is a lovelyflat track,@ Hannon said. AThe straight is two furlongsfurther and he looks like he'll appreciate that. He's hadquite a hard time of things lately--he's basically been toevery major meeting so we'll give him a little bit of abreak and then bring him back for the Leger."
CELEBRATION IN THE CARDS FOR DARWIN Derrick Smith, Mrs. John Magnier and MichaelTabor=s Darwin (Big Brown), a battling third inWednesday=s G1 Sussex S. at Glorious Goodwood,could resurface in that course=s G2 Celebration MileAug. 23. Trainer Aidan O=Brien noted that he is seeking
fast track targets for the J “TDN Rising Star” J. "He loves fast ground,@ O=Briensaid. A[The Sussex was] the firsttime he's ever got that ground. Icouldn't be happier with him. Wealways thought he was a smarthorse. He could go back forsomething like the CelebrationMile." Darwin, a $1.3-millionpurchase by Demi O=Byrne at the2012 Fasig-Tipton Florida sale,
made his first two starts in New York for trainer ToddPletcher later that year. He has won three of eightstarts since being transferred to Ireland last year,including the G3 Minstrel S. last July.

Not seen until October 2011, Take Cover immediatelyflashed the kind of ability that prompted the GeorgeMargarson stable to persevere, with three straight winson Southwell=s Fibresand for that stable. Switched toDavid Griffiths and making it four-for-four on turf atHaydock in September 2012, the bay was upped in
class and proved ahard one for thehandicapper to get agrip on as hecontinued to progress.Second in a decentsprint at this meeting12 months ago, hewas dropped to thistrip for the first time atYork in October andresponded by returningto winning ways underthe positive tactics
which are now customary. Trying for black-type twostarts later in the Listed Golden Rose S. over sixfurlongs at Lingfield in November, he was caught latewhen second there and his next outing resulted in athree-lengths eighth to Sole Power (GB) (Kyllachy {GB})in Royal Ascot=s G1 King=s Stand S. June 17. Gaininghis first black-type success in Chester=s Listed CityWalls S. also over five at York July 12, Take Cover hadonly one in front early here but when Caspian Prince(Ire) (Dylan Thomas {Ire}) folded with a quarter-mile torace, he was professional enough to pick up the baton.Despite drifting right towards the far rail as Extortionistdrove into his advantage near the fence, and last year=swinner Moviesta also closed down the center of thetrack, the veteran kept finding to provide his smallstable with a red-letter day. AHe has a lot speed andloves fast ground, so he was always going to be hardto get by,@ rider Andrea Atzeni commented. AI don=tthink I=ve ever sat on anything as quick as him.@ DavidGriffiths has his target set on York=s G1 Nunthorpe S.with the winner at the Ebor meeting in three weeks=time and added, AThis is unbelievable in only our fourthseason. He=s from a family who all improve with ageand is arguably getting better, which is hard to say atseven.

Off the mark on debut at 16-1 over six furlongs atNewbury last July, J Wonder added a valuable nurseryto her resume over that trip at Newmarket in earlyAugust before disappointing when only seventh as thejoint-favorite for York=s G2 Lowther S. on her third runover that distance later that month. Upped a panel onher sophomore bow, the bay annexed the G3 FredDarling S. at Newbury Apr. 12, but missed the 1000Guineas when the ground came up fast. Withconnections opting for the G1 Poule d=Essai desPouliches and good-to-soft conditions and getting aplum inside draw, the portents looked strong for Classicglory. In the event that post position proved a poisonedchalice, however, as J Wonder raced too keenly at thefore and faded to be seventh in the May 11 Longchampfeature. Doing too much again when exposed up frontin the G1 Coronation S. at Royal Ascot June 20, JWonder labored late on to be seventh once morewithout being disgraced and was taken back to an idealtrip with hold-up tactics on the menu here. Againtending to over-race early, she was anchored with onebehind by Jimmy Fortune and it was his patience thatultimately benefitted her, as she had abundant energyleft when the split came inside the final quarter mile.Switched wide with the longtime leader Muteelaproviding a perfect aim, she delivered an impressivesurge to inhale that rival in the final strides. J Wonder isout of a full-sister to the 2007 G1 Irish Derby runner-upAlexander of Hales (Danehill), and a half-sister to the2005 G1 1000 Guineas victress Virginia Waters(Kingmambo).

Successful in a handicap at this meeting 12 monthsago, Pether=s Moon--who has raced almost exclusivelyat this trip from last summer onwards--was soonopening his black-type account in Kempton=s ListedFloodlit S. in November. Runner-up on his first twostarts this term in the G2 Jockey Club S. at NewmarketMay 3 and Listed Buckhounds S. a week later, the bay
was 7 1/4 lengthsthird to Telescope (Ire)(Galileo {Ire}) in the G2Hardwicke S. at theRoyal meeting June 21before filling the samespot behindThursday=s G2Goodwood Cup winnerCavalryman (GB)(Halling) in the G2Princess of Wales=s S.
at Newmarket last time July 10. Looking a solid favoriteafter the withdrawal of the Hardwicke and Princess ofWales=s second Hillstar (GB) (Danehill Dancer {Ire}) andwith the race-fitness of the returning Encke(Kingmambo) in question, the bay was positioned closeto the pace after the initial furlong. Ridden at the top ofthe straight, Pether=s Moon grabbed the lead passingthe quarter pole. Always holding Encke at bay fromthere, he gave his jockey Richard Hughes theimpression there was plenty in reserve. AI think we=ll have to put something on his head--he=snot ungenuine, just lazy, and although he stays well hepulled himself up when he got to the front too soon,@Hughes explained. AHe=s a big, late-maturing horse andAustralia is written all over him.@
Richard Hannon echoed those sentiments whenadding, AHe looked like he didn=t come down the hillthat well and maybe this track doesn=t really suit him.He=s run well at all the big meetings and we do like thishorse, so this was nothing more than he was due. Hedoes have a lot of opportunities abroad and he=s in the[G1] Caulfield Cup and [G1] Japan Cup. He=s a horsewe very much want to keep, as we don=t get many ofthis type to go all over the world with. He=s got theconstitution for it as well.@ Charlie Appleby was delighted with the performanceof the 2012 St Leger winner Encke, who traveled likethe winner to the three-furlong pole and was staying onagain late. AHe stuck to his guns and can only come onfor that,@ he said. AThe most important thing is that thehorse is happy, so we=ll speak to Sheikh Mohammedand not make any rash decisions. I=d put him at about80% for this, so he can only come on for that.@

In the absence of the dual Guineas runner-upLightning Thunder (GB) (Dutch Art {GB}), who failed toeat up yesterday morning, this race was bossed earlyby Godolphin=s unexposed Rapprochement (Ire), (NewApproach {Ire}) with the Irish 2000 Guineas secondShifting Power (GB) (Compton Place {GB}) shading himto keep Wannabe Yours in a pocket on the rail in thirdearly. Still trapped as Hors de Combat was deliveredwith a rush out wide to lead inside the final quarter-mile, the bay was switched out by William Buick soonafter and found a telling surge despite his rider losinghis whip. Cutting down that rival in the last strides, hewas firmly on top at the line to justify the faith ofconnections and suggest he can go on to greaterthings. AThat was a very classy performance and he is a verynice horse,@ his rider commented. AThe horse in frontstopped, but he has a hell of a turn of foot and I alwaysknew I was going to get there, as he has that finishingkick. He had to come around and only good horses dothat here.@ Buick noted that a switch in tactics hasallowed Wannabe Yours to reach his potential. AWe always thought a lot of him, but he was a bitkeen as a 2-year-old and we probably rode him wrong,but we=ve settled him in behind this year and he=sgrown up,@ Buick said. AHe=s quite an energetic horse,but he=s got a bright future and is a proper miler whocan step up to Group 1 company. He has all theattributes required for that and could be a serioushorse.@ Trainer John Gosden was making no secret of hisregard for the stable=s best-kept secret afterwards, andadded, AHe is a very smart horse and this is the lastmile pattern race of the year in Europe for 3-year-olds.He is much improved and I would have been verydisappointed if he hadn=t won today. Maybe he=ll be aSussex horse for next year.@ Wannabe Yours= future is in the hands of his owner-breeder Philippa Cooper, and she admitted to being in aquandary, with potential buyers lining up. ALast year,his half-sister Wannabe Loved won here and thenchipped a bone in her next race, so I hope that doesn=thappen again,@ she commented. AI knew he had theinside draw and was going to get boxed in, but wedidn=t want him brought out and running keenly andthen having nothing left at the end. It was lovely to seehim settle 90%, and that was very encouraging. Hewas nicknamed >the thug= as a yearling, as he bullied allthe others and nobody had the courage to take him onso he got away with it.@ Cooper noted that for the right price, Wannabe Yourscould be for sale. AI=ve had offers to buy him already and I said hemight be for sale at the end of the year, as I=ve got tobe sensible,@ she said. AHe is probably one of my mostprecocious ones and I=d love him to stay with his trainerif he is sold--that would be amazing.@ Wannabe Yours becomes the 50th group winner forhis sire. He is out of a half-sister to the 1998 G1Cheveley Park S. winner and 1999 G1 1000 Guineasrunner-up Wannabe Grand (Ire) (Danehill).

We’ve given Brian DiDonato and Steve Sherack mythical $2,000bankrolls and told them they must bet at least 1% and no more than 10%of their stake in each flat Grade I run at Saratoga. The player with thehighest bankroll at the end of the meet wins.
GI Alfred G. Vanderbilt H. - #7 Vyjack (15-1) I tried to talk myself off of Vyjack, who’s admittedly a bit of a reachhere, but was unsuccessful. He’s been put in some completelyperplexing spots throughout his career, but none as ambitious as the 10-furlong GII Suburban H. last time. The bay got this hopeless four-wide pressing trip in there, and backed out early before being eased, butthat may just help to inflate his price. He clearly wants to sprint, and hiscomeback at Aqueduct Apr. 27 was solid enough--he beat a next-outstakes winner and earned a decent speed figure. He was probably justovermatched when finishing ninth in the GI Metropolitan H. two backJune 7. If you look at Vyjack’s earlier races (he did win two gradedstakes, but still seemed then to be distance limited), he flashed someserious talent, and wasn’t too far away from what it will take to win thisfigure-wise. He’d be faster as a 4-year-old if realistically spotted, andhe’s been working very quickly since the Suburban debacle. I’ve pickedworse 15-1 shots before. Wager: $20 Win on #7 Vyjack.
GI Test S. - #4 Thank You Marylou (15-1) Will Thank You Marylou be one of those ‘worse 15-1 shots’? I lovethis race--so many viable options, but it looks destined to collapse tome. Sweet Reason is very much the horse to beat, and both Little Alexisand Bird Maker are intriguing, but I can’t resist the cut-back for my topselection. Thank You Marylou was a precocious sprinter early on in hercareer as a juvenile, annexing a turf sprint stakes at Colonial first outbefore being put up to second for an incident that didn’t involve her inthe GII Adirondack S. here. The chestnut resurfaced in Gulfstream’s AnyLimit S. going this distancce in March, and beat a solid field decisively ingood time. She was stretched out after that, and finished creditably inboth the GI Ashland S. (3rd) and GI Kentucky Oaks (5th). Thank YouMarylou was last seen finishing seventh in the GIII Iowa Oaks, but thatrace came over a sloppy track that she never seemed to get a hold of.She finally returns to an abbreviated trip, and I expect her to come flyinglate at a huge price. Wager: $30 Win on #4 Thank You Marylou.
GI Whitney H. - #7 Romansh (10-1) Romansh is sort of a frustrating horse. Just when he looks ready tobreak out, he runs a clunker like he did in the GI Donn H. (granted, hegot a ride that day that never gave him a chance) or last out in the GIISuburban H. But his good races are very good, and his GI Met Mile thirdstacks up well with winner and deserving Whitney favorite PalaceMalice. While the chalk was saving every inch of ground, Romansh waschasing three wide. But the 19-1 shot only finished 1 1/2 lengths behindPalace Malice and a half-length behind top miler Goldencents (not tomention, Clearly Now was behind in fifth, and he returned to air in theGIII Belmont Sprint Championship). According to Trakus data, Romanshcovered 20 feet more than Palace Malice, which equals about 2 1/4lengths. Most of his best races have come at this trip, so it’s really just amatter of him showing up--he’s a legitimate upset chance when he runshis race. Wager: $40 Win on #7 Romansh. Cont. p17

GI Alfred G. Vanderbilt H. - #8 Bakken (5-2) The lightly raced and extremely well-bred Bakken looks primed for abreakthrough performance. An impressive winner of his first twoattempts, the bay could do no better than fifth when ambitiously shippedto Southern California for the prestigious GI Malibu S. at Santa Anita inDecember. He returned from the shelf with a very game second behinda perfect trip winner after getting hooked on a hot pace in the GII TrueNorth S. at Belmont June 6. Appears to have been pointing for this spotsince, and is well-drawn on the outside. Wager: $80 Win on #8Bakken.
GI Test S. - #2 Fiftyshadesofgold (8-1) Her inside post is obviously terrible and there is plenty of other speedsigned on, but I just can’t stay away from Fiftyshadesofgold at asquare number. The gray ran her heart out after setting scorchingfractions in the one-mile GI Acorn S. on the GI Belmont S. undercard,just getting leg weary late to tire to fourth. The GIII Eight Belles S.heroine cuts back to her preferred distance and has been lighting up theChurchill Downs main track at dawn since. Makes up for the debacle asthe heavy chalk in last year’s GII Adirondack S. over this course.Wager: $40 Win on #2 Fiftyshadesofgold.
GI Whitney H. - #7 Romansh (10-1) While admittedly a complete wise-guy horse, Romansh could be theright one to upset the streaking Palace Malice. The dark bay has runsome very fast races when he’s on, including a tremendous third-placefinish with a wide trip following a freshening in this term’s GIMetropolitan H. I’m always willing to forgive horses that flop going thetricky distance of 1 1/4 miles at Belmont Park due to the start on theclubhouse turn, and this guy certainly fits the bill after a flat fifth as the2-1 choice in the GII Suburban H. July 5. A winner via DQ of last year’strack-and-trip Curlin S., the time has come for the Godolphin colorbearerto put it all together on the big stage. Wager: $40 Win on #7 Romansh.

5th-SAR, $98K, Msw, 2yo, 6f Royal Son (Tiznow)--I have the dubious distinction of having stoodnext to his dam Mama Nadine while she was in foal with this Tiznowbaby. This guy has some speed, but he has been generic at times andvery good at times, like the gate work with Two Weeks Off (Harlan’sHoliday) July 23. He drew the rail in this six-furlong event. Sir William Bruce (Malibu Moon) is owned and bred by SouthernEquine Stables. He is a half to the blue collar horse Skinny Peter (MoreThan Ready), who won four races and $73K as a Louisiana bred. SirWilliam Bruce has trained like he has talent, and two works over thetrack--four panels in :49 in the mud July 9 and a strong five-panel bulletin :59 flat July 22. Spoke with Eric Guillot and as always he is incrediblyentertaining and a virtual quote machine. "I think he has an amazingtrainer and that gives him a BIG CHANCE," he told me Friday. SirWilliam Bruce named after a young boy, that unfortunately passed awayand whose family is close to Michael Moreno, Mr. Southern Equine. Mariano intheninth (Summer Bird) was bought for $70,000 as aKEENOV weanling by Ramsey farm and debuts for Todd Pletcher. Hehas been based at Belmont. Being in bred to Storm Bird, or the StormCat line, this guy is bred to run short and win at under a mile. Wouldn'tsurprise me if this colt can do some running as a 2-year-old. Pride of Stride (Candy Ride {Arg}) comes from a slow maiden heat atDelaware--where he finished third July 10--but hails from a barn that hasbeen red hot. The Graham Motion pupil will improve second time aroundand this race lacks a superstar like ‘TDN Rising Star’ Competitive Edge(Super Saver) or Blame Jim (Sharp Humor). The chestnut waspurchased by Qatar Racing for $150,000 at Keeneland September. Waging War (War Front) hails from a superb barn. Al Stall, Jr. is oneof the most underrated conditioners in the country. The $350K KEESEPpurchase has done everything right and was much the best in a superbgate drill July 19, when he fired a best-of-27 five furlongs in 1:00 flat. Heacts like he has speed and is one to watch here. FQLLQW. Fire Away (War Front), bred by the Phipps family, has trainedforwardly and looks like he has much more to give. He has not been setdown, but has worked from the gate on the turf. He is a very well versedand trained animal. His gate work was actually a hand pop and then hecame back later in the month and actually popped the gate and wasapproved to start. I love his pedigree and being out of Unbridled mare,his pedigree has classic written all over it. The Danzig influence over theFappanio/Unbridled and what I have seen so far from this colt makesme very excited to see this guy at Payson in the winter, so make sureyou FQLLQW, win, lose or draw today. Evolution (Speightstown) that looks like he can improve second timearound for trainer Michael Mareina. He finished well in his one and only(third going five furlongs at Belmont July 2), and got a reminder of whatthe gate is on July 30 (breezing three panels in :37 1/5). The 10-holecan be tough at five furlongs, but at six furlongs it is perfect for a horselike Evolution.

Runner-up over 10 furlongs in one of this meeting=stypically competitive handicaps on this day last year,Red Avenger=s form was in-and-out thereafter with asole placing in his next six outings coming when third inEpsom=s Investec Mile H. on the Oaks undercard June 6. Fitted with blinkers for the first time here as EdDunlop sought to unlock his latent talent, the dark baybegan inauspiciously as he lacked either the tacticalspeed or willingness to gain an all-important prominentpitch from his favorable low draw. Squeezed and spatout towards the back by the inevitable rush for the railand the lead approaching the first turn, he was allowedtime to find his feet and was brought wide for hischallenge as the in-form Heavy Metal loomed largeapproaching the final quarter mile. Despite that MarkJohnston trainee displaying all the tenacity from thefront that has long been the stable=s hallmark, RedAvenger dug in to raid his party and had the call with afinal thrust to win on the nod. AIt was a goodperformance, as he gave away his draw,@ hisconditioner said. AHe can be sluggish out of the boxesand Jimmy [Fortune] was brave enough to wait. Out offrustration I tried him in blinkers at home, as I=ve longfelt that he flatters to deceive, and he worked incrediblywell in them on Tuesday. I=ve always thought he was agood horse and Aidan O=Brien has many War Fronts andI notice he puts headgear on several of them. He willget into other big handicaps now and the new race atAscot on Champions= Day, which is very valuable, isone to think about. But he loves fast good and I wonderwhether we will get that then.@ Click for the RacingPost result. VIDEO, courtesy Racing UK.

WETHERBY GIVEN FLAT FIXTURE Wetherby Racecourse in West Yorkshire, whichgenerally hosts jumps racing, has been allocated its firstflat fixture for Apr. 26, 2015. "We are delighted to have been allocated our first flatraceday,@ said Jonjo Sanderson, chief executive andclerk of the course at Wetherby. "The rationale behindthe introduction of flat racing at Wetherby is to try andgrow our business and attract a new customer base toWetherby, as well as achieving a greater utilization ofthe excellent equine and customer facilities that theracecourse has to offer.@ He added, "This should not be seen as a steptowards the end of jump racing at Wetherby--in fact,the opposite. Any flat racing fixtures we secure will besupplementary to our core activity of jump racing, andprovide vital support to Wetherby's jump raceprogram."
