unlike last year ' s thrilling finish , stay thirsty seized the lead rounding the quarter pole and never let persistent rattlesnake bridge get close enough to seriously threaten .

stay thirsty followed in the footsteps of his champion sire bernardini on august 27 recording a triumphant victory in the $ 1 million g1 travers stakes at saratoga , usa .
stay thirsty is winless in four starts since the travers last aug . 27 . in two starts this year , he was second to trickmeister in a swiftly run vanlandingham stakes at belmont in may . last month , stay thirsty finished a non - threatening fifth to mucho macho man in the grade 2 suburban at steamy belmont park .
despite stay thirsty’s affinity for saratoga , trainer todd pletcher opted to skip the whitney , giving the colt a little more time to be better prepared for the woodward .
stay thirsty won jim dandy very impressive way , shackleford in haskell did not run very well , it was not his actual run , i think he has still the same stamina as he shown in kentucky derby and preakness , so i am not counting him down yet , i still believe that if he takes the lead as he did in the preakness stakes , he has still chance to beat stay thirsty , i am not worring about other horse , coil and ruler on ice might be challenging theses two horses like stay thirsty and shackleford but i have a doubt that they can succeed . so my selection will be either stay thirsty or shackleford will take the travers .
meanwhile , stay thirsty was unfazed by his outer post position , becoming only the second horse since 1901 to win the travers after breaking from the no . 9 post .

after winning the gotham stakes at aqueduct in early march , but after a seventh - place finish in the florida derby and a 12th in the kentucky derby , stay thirsty was moving ever closer to staying home . a second - place finish to ruler on ice in the belmont stakes awoke some , but not enough to make stay thirsty the favorite in his next start , the grade 2 jim dandy stakes . stay thirsty won the jim dandy impressively by four lengths and went to the travers as the favorite , but only by one dime to the dollar more popular . stay thirsty was 2 . 5 - to - 1 in the jim dandy and the 2 . 4 - to - 1 favorite in the travers .
stay thirsty followed up a victory in the jim dandy stakes a few weeks ago with an impressive 1 1 / 4 length victory saturday in the travers stakes at saratoga race course .

stay thirsty broke well and led entering the first turn . he conceded the lead to shackleford on the backstretch , but raced close behind in second with moonshine mullin in third on the outside .
stay thirsty ( 12 - 1 ) has had a disappointing four year - old season . he is zero for three in 2012 , with two fifth place finishes in his graded stakes races .

while most of the recent talk is about coil and stay thirsty’s recent performances , the build up towards the travers is that the lead in the race for the division title is up for grabs .
but out of the “big” horses running , only stay thirsty , who went off as the morning line favorite , finished as expected . ruler on ice finished the best of the rest in fourth .
“he’s gotten so much better since the kentucky derby [ where he placed 12th ] , ” said stay thirsty’s trainer todd pletcher . “once javier [ castellano ] geared him up he took off . ”

repole said that uncle mo and stay thirsty were the two horses that put his stable on the map , and he’s happy to have them together again . uncle mo retired to ashford last year .
shackleford was expected to stay longer , but he was done by the time they reached the quarter - pole and left stay thirsty ( one mile in 1 : 36 . 74 ) to inherit the lead . stay thirsty held a 1 1 / 2 - length advantage with a furlong remaining , and only had to survive a mild threat from a closing rattlesnake bridge to secure his career - defining win . the final time for the distance on a fast main track was 2 : 03 . 03 .
stay thirsty raced closer to the front than he normally does , and in fact held the lead after a : 23 . 45 opening quarter before the expected pacesetter , preakness stakes ( gr . i )
with mucho macho man , to honor and serve and many others insuring this is one of the toughest races of the year , stay thirsty will be a favorite but far from a lock to win .
stay thirsty has a cross of northern dancer on his pedigree through his maternal grandsire storm bird and his paternal granddam cara rafaela . the 3 x 5 northern dancer cross the only doubling of a horse in the first five generations . while northern dancer is a prominent name in thoroughbred pedigrees , the lack of doubling in any other names in the immediate pedigree leaves stay thirsty a lot of options for mares .
stay thirsty was bred in kentucky by john gunther , who was at saratoga for the travers to watch the scopy bay by preakness and travers winner bernardini perform . gunther was impressed by the condition of stay thirsty and said , “he ' s filled out and matured a lot since the derby coming to the travers . he seems to have more weight through the body and be more mature - looking . ”
@ ivanlsardi , i ' ve also been impressed by stay thirsty this season . he looked awesome in the jim dandy , and i thought he ran a really respectable belmont , too . but i ' m torn between stay thirsty and coil for the travers ? because , imo , coil has been equally impressive himself in 2011 . his win in the haskell , coming from well off the pace to run down shakleford looks strong . and his swaps stakes and affirmed handicap run ' s look like really strong form lines as well . i may just play a stay thirsty - coil exacta , and box it .
stay thirsty’s damsire storm bird was a champion juvenile in ireland . at stud he produced preakness winner summer squall , the great storm cat and many other prominent runners . the offspring produced by his daughters include belmont stakes hero birdstone and multiple g - 1 winners commentator , and court vision . stay thirsty also carries the bloodlines of the classic chef - de - race roberto and belmont stakes winner arts and letters .

stay thirsty’s half brother andromeda’s hero was also second in the belmont stakes . that one’s full brother superfly was third in the champagne stakes ( g1 ) . their second and third dams are grade one placed .
stay thirsty is by bernardini , winner of the preakness , travers and jockey club gold cup - two of which are at the classic distance of 1 - 1 / 4 miles . after his first crop hit the track this year as 3 - year - olds with stay thirsty and to honor and serve among them , bernardini’s fee has been raised to $ 150 , 000 by darley stud in lexington , kentucky .
while stay thirsty was eclipsed by stablemate uncle mo during the majority of his career , he has a successful record , especially in new york races . as a 2 - year - old , stay thirsty finished second in the hopeful stakes ( gr . i ) behind boys at tosconova . he ended his second with a fifth place finish in the grey goose breeders’ cup juvenile ( gr . i ) behind uncle mo .
stay thirsty also matched his father by winning both the jim dandy at the spa and the travers , a feat that his owner , mike repole , said should put him firmly at the top of his division .
this year the one - and - a - quarter - mile stakes race for three - year - old colts will be headlined by haskell invitational winner coil , jim dandy winner stay thirsty and preakness winner shackleford .
it’s interesting enough to know that both coil and stay thirsty will try , at some degree , to duplicate their sire’s path in their three - year - old campaign and win the eclipse award in their division .
the impressive victories by coil and stay thirsty over the weekend have put them squarely in the conversation about the three - year - old division of the eclipse awards , with about three months left in the season .

as expected , shackleford broke for the lead from the outside no . 10 post . stay thirsty likes to run just off the pace , but found himself in front early - not exactly what pletcher had in mind .
stay thirsty’s sire bernardini was the three - year - old champion of 2006 and had a streak of five graded victories in a row before finishing second to horse of the year invasor ( arg ) in the breeders’ cup classic ( gr . i ) . stay thirsty was from bernardini’s first crop and helped him rank third on the leading first - crop sires list in 2010 . bernardini was the leading second - crop sire in 2011 .

prize in august and following up with a second place finish in the hopeful stakes ( g2 ) . he finished off of the board in the breeders’ cup juvenile . stay thirsty needed time to mature through the early spring of his
uncle mo has the 2 - year - old championship but in the end , stay thirsty has something much more important to breeders’ , a grade 1 win at 10 furlongs ( 1 - 1 / 4 miles ) . in fact , uncle mo never won at 1 - 1 / 8 miles , finishing third in the wood memorial in his only attempt at that distance . stay thirsty won the 9 furlong jim dandy and 1 - 1 / 4 mile travers .
bernardini and stay thirsty became the 16th father - son duo to win the travers , but only the second to be ridden by the same jockey . gary stevens accomplished the feat with thunder gulch in 1995 and point given in 2001 .
as if aware of the slight , stay thirsty galloped around the saratoga oval and won the travers nearly gate - to - wire and suddenly he was atop the 3 - year - old class looking down . in his first test against older horses in the grade 1 jockey club gold cup , stay thirsty was a good third behind eventual classic winner drosselmeyer and classic favorite flat out . he looked primed to be competitive and possibly be among the favorites for the classic .
, took over under jesus castanon . shackleford showed the way through a half - mile in : 47 . 63 and six furlongs in 1 : 11 . 91 while stay thirsty stalked him , and belmont stakes ( gr . i ) winner
when castellano asked for run around the turn , stay thirsty had plenty of response , surging into first to shackleford ' s outside . he never relinquished the lead despite a game effort from rattlesnake bridge , who drifted wide in the stretch .
stay thirsty , who emerged from the shadow of his more celebrated stablemate uncle mo to become a grade 1 winner , will rejoin uncle mo in his next career as a stallion at ashford stud in kentucky , owner mike repole said monday .
though he is winless this year , stay thirsty set the pace and repelled three early challenges in the jockey club gold cup before getting passed in the final three strides by flat out . he earned a career - best beyer of 109 .
todd and i will discuss the two options for stay thirsty , probably either the arkansas derby ( g1 ) ( on april 16 at oaklawn park ) or the florida derby ( g1 ) ( on april 3 at gulfstream park ) .
the travers is setting up very nicely . coil and stay thirsty looked great , and shackleford , ruler on ice and brilliant speed had their preps . throw in dominus and a few others and we have the makings of a great midsummer classic !
his face covered with perspiration , a conflicted mike repole tried to express his emotions after losing one big race by a nose with uncle mo and winning the $ 1 million travers stakes with stay thirsty about 30 minutes later at saratoga race course .
in this year’s renewal of the gotham , the favorite , stay thirsty , triumphed over whirlaway stakes winner toby’s corner grade 2 stakes placed nacho saint and a field of recent allowance and maiden winners . the todd pletcher trainee was wide on both turns and traveled the 1 1 / 16 miles in a moderate 1 : 44 . 78 conquering his rivals by over three lengths . in light of the developing trend , we need to ask , does stay thirsty have the pedigree to win a classic race ?
but americans still pay for distance . and stay thirsty will be much more likely to produce winners who can compete at the classic distance . and likely to some day emerge from the shadow of uncle mo and shine as if he was alydar himself .
stay dry . with the start of the rainy season , it’s important to avoid getting overly wet when out and about .
stay thirsty didn’t have the best start to the year , winning an unimpressive gotham stakes earlier in the year before finishing mid - pack in the derby . but when the triple crown made its way to belmont for the final jewel of the series , the repole camp was ready . “thirsty” didn’t win the race , but he did show a major improvement on form , finishing second .
it would be unfair to compare coil and stay thirsty to their sires at this time in their careers . by now point given had won the preakness and belmont , and bernardini the preakness . but at least on this part of their campaigns is similar .
preakness winner shackleford dueled stay thirsty for the lead throughout the first half of the 1 1 / 4 - mile race , but eventually fell off the pace . belmont stakes winner ruler on ice ( fourth ) and haskell invitational winner coil were never factors in the race . coil , the 5 - 2 second choice entering the race , finished last in the 10 - horse field in fact , once shackleford fell off the pace stay thirsty really was never challenged down the backstretch . shackleford faded to eighth place .
owner mike repole decided to run uncle mo in the classic instead of the dirt mile and before the classic , uncle mo would go off at 5 - to - 1 odds compared to stay thirsty back in double digits at 11 - to - 1 .
jim dandy winner and belmont runner - up stay thirsty pushed his way into the three - year - old eclipse talks after a win in the travers stakes at saratoga on august 27 . drawing a field that included triple crown jewel winners shackleford and ruler on ice , and haskell winner coil , in addition to stay thirsty , the travers was determined to be perhaps the biggest race in the second half of this year ' s three - year - old season with a wide open group of potential eclipse winners running .
stay thirsty , who ran a gutsy race when beaten a head by flat out in saturday’s grade 1 , $ 1 million jockey club gold cup at belmont park , will race once more before being retired , repole said . in no particular order , repole said he and trainer todd pletcher are considering the breeders’ cup classic , the bc dirt mile – both on nov . 3 at santa anita – or the grade 1 , $ 350 , 000 cigar mile on nov . 24 at aqueduct for stay thirsty’s final race .
during the 2000m race stay thirsty pressed the pace and found himself in the perfect stalking position . around the turn he began to take command , then opened up at the top of the lane and never looked back for a victory in the ' midsummer derby . '
stay thirsty has the better resume , as he won the grade iii gotham stakes early on the year and looked impressive with his easy win in the jim dandy . but coil has the quality win , as he defeated the preakness and belmont stakes winners in the haskell .
while repole’s big horse uncle mo made a splash in his return to racing today in the g1 king’s bishop where he finished second , repole’s forgotten colt , stay thirsty made his way to the winner’s circle , and eclipse talks , in the biggest race of the day .

uncle mo was everybody’s all - everything from the time he broke his maiden by 14 - 1 / 2 lengths at saratoga through his undefeated championship season and being the winter racebook favorite to win the kentucky derby . meanwhile , during his 2 - year - old seaso , stay thirsty had finished second to boys at toscanova in the hopeful stakes after breaking also breaking his maiden at saratoga , but only by five lengths . stay thirsty went into the juvenile as an anonymous 13 - to - 1 shot and came out as a fifth - place whatchmacallit .
“i hope i own a lot of good horses , but there’ll be no horses that mean more to me than uncle mo and stay thirsty , ” repole said . “that they’re together again is just an amazing feeling . they couldn’t be on a better farm than coolmore’s ashford . ”
multiple grade 1 winner stay thirsty joins four other freshmen by 2006 preakness stakes ( gr . i ) winner bernardini in 2013 . this is the first time bernardini will have more than one son standing in a season as sophomore stallion wilburn stood his first year in 2012 last year .
with a powerful performance that catapulted him to the head the 3 - year - old division , stay thirsty took command at the top of the stretch and rolled to a decisive 1 ¼ - length victory over rattlesnake bridge in saturday ' s 142nd running of the grade 1 , $ 1 million travers at saratoga race course . leaving from post position 9 as the 5 - 2 favorite , stay thirsty found himself on the lead between horses as the field of 10 barreled toward the first turn and through an opening quarter in 23 . 45 seconds . eased back by javier castellano into second as preakness winner shackleford took over through a half in 47 . 63 and three - quarters in 1 : 11 . 91 , stay thirsty ranged up to challenge for the lead on the far turn and spun into the stretch with a lead that was never seriously threatened .
the 1 1 / 4 - mile travers , which included four of the top - ranked sophomores in the country , was billed as a race that would determine the division leader , and 2 - 1 favorite stay thirsty did just that under javier castellano . five years after his sire ,
stay thirsty won for the third time in four starts at saratoga . he broke his maiden there and romped by four lengths in the july 30 jim dandy . his only defeat at the spa came when second in the three chimneys hopeful stakes ( gr . i ) as a juvenile .
stay thirsty has a stamina oriented pedigree and has shown the ability to sit off the pace , yet he has the speed to quicken and put away his foes . the classic race distances shouldn’t be a concern for him and he could easily continue the eleven year gotham / classic trend .
the whitney drew a field of nine . fewer are expected for the woodward . as of saturday , the confirmed woodward starters were cease , mucho macho man , stay thirsty , and to honor and serve . possibles included isn’t he perfect and rule , who finished last in the whitney .
continuing the rash of 3 year old retirements is gemologist . he is joined by announcements for a trio of four year old horses : the factor , caleb ' s posse , and stay thirsty . additionally , winter memories , a millionaire mare on the turf , was retired as well .
stay thirsty , who went off as the 2 - 1 favorite , finished in 2 minutes , 3 . 03 seconds . he was followed by 14 - 1 rattlesnake bridge in second , 32 - 1 long shot j w blue in third and belmont stakes champion ruler on ice in fourth .

but there was a rivalry for recognition between the two , especially since both came from the same shed row of trainer todd pletcher and raced for outgoing owner mike repole . and no matter what he did , stay thirsty seem to ever remain in the shadow of his stable mate uncle mo .
stay thirsty’s dam marozia ( storm bird ) raced in europe , winning one race in nine starts and hitting the board three other times . she has proven to be a respectable producer with nine foals of racing age on the ground . from those foals , six have went on to race with five breaking their maidens and three winning stakes . andromeda’s hero and stay thirsty both brought home graded stakes wins for the mare with andormeda’s hero also finishing second in the belmont stakes ( gr . i ) in 2005 . marozia only has one grandfoal of racing age , who has not yet started .
stay thirsty’s granddam make change ( roberto ) was an ungraded stakes winner but hit the board in multiple graded stakes including seconds in five grade one races . in all , she won five times , finished second six times and third five times in 23 starts for $ 506 , 338 in earnings .
but earlier that same day at belmont , uncle mo had turned heads by winning the grade 1 kelso mile in only his second race after being sidelined and missing the triple crown . and during the weeks leading up to the breeders’ cup classic , uncle mo again took the spotlight from stay thirsty .
also there are some other contenders prepping up to try a late fall run at the title . most notably among them is stay thirsty’s stablemate , 2010 two - year - old champ uncle mo , who had his third work today . uncle mo worked five furlongs in 1 : 02 4 / 5 .
stay thirsty , winner of the 2011 travers stakes ( gr . i ) and second in saturday ' s jockey club gold cup ( gr . i ) , will stand at ashford stud , near versailles , ky . , upon retirement , owner mike repole told the daily racing form oct . 1 .
brilliant travers stakes winner stay thirsty will retire to stand at ashford stud for the 2013 season . the todd pletcher - trained son of bernardini ran a huge race in saturday ' s jockey club gold cup invitational and a decision will be made on the remainder of his racing career in the near future .
stay thirsty ( bernardini ) didn ' t show much in this one , but the four - year - old was making just his second start of 2012 and has tons of room for improvement this season . the top colt loves saratoga , so don ' t hold this race against him too hard .
from the first crop of champion three - year - old bernardini ( a . p . indy ) , winner of the preakness ( g1 ) , travers ( g1 ) and jockey club gold cup ( g1 ) , stay thirsty has an ideal pedigree for the kentucky derby on his dam side . he hails from the winning storm bird mare marozia , who also has produced grade 3 winner and 2005 belmont ( g1 ) runner - up andromeda ' s hero ; and stakes victor superfly , both by fusaichi pegasus . stay thirsty also counts an unnamed juvenile colt by mr . greeley as a half - brother .
holy cow ! ! he is for real ! after that stumble . . . to stay in the game and win like he did . awesome !
tiznow would be the exception , and the one coil and stay thirsty look to emulate . he was a late bloomer who benefited from a year where there was also a close competition to the division title . he won the super derby and then a memorable breeder ' s cup classic which secured his title .

bred in kentucky by john d . gunther and john darren gunther , stay thirsty is out of the storm bird mare marozia . pletcher bought him for repole for $ 500 , 000 at the fasig - tipton florida select sale of 2 - year - olds in training in 2010 . he was consigned by scanlon training center , agent .
stay thirsty had made this a trio of g1 - placed offspring for marozia with his seconds in the hopeful last year and more recently in the belmont stakes , but the good - looking bay took the step into the winner ' s circle as a g1 winner at saratoga , which seems to be the colt ' s favorite racetrack .

stay thirsty looks to have the makings of a very good stallion . he will be the first of bernardini ' s sons to enter the breeding shed and looks to pass the tests . his female family shows high end production as well as a wide array of winners . he will stand at coolmore ' s ashford in lexington , kentucky .
in total , stay thirsty retired with a record of five wins , five seconds , and one third in 17 starts for $ 1 , 936 , 000 in earnings . of those five wins , two were grade 1 victories , with one grade 2 and one grade 3 . he also finished second in three grade 1 races and third in another .
stay thirsty looked like his sire at the spa . that was important to his breeder , who said that “when i went to see bernardini at jonabell , i just loved his looks , and i bred two mares to him the first year , three the second year , and it looks like he ' s going to be a good sire . ”
repole told the drf that stay thirsty will make one more start this year before being retired . what race that will be is up in the air ; the colt could run in either the breeders ' cup classic ( gr . i ) , breeders ' cup dirt mile ( gr . i ) , or the cigar mile ( gr . i ) .

robert lapenta and head of plains partners’ coal front led the field wire - to - wire in saturday’s g2 amsterdam stakes at saratoga , finishing 1 1 / 2 lengths in front of excitations to earn his first graded stakes win . the sophomore son of stay thirsty is now unbeaten in three career starts for trainer todd pletcher . ridden by john velazquez [ … ]
the spa has certainly treated stay thirsty well this year , as it was the three - year - old ' s second graded victory for the season . on july 30 , he dominated in the g2 jim dandy stakes , a feat his sire also accomplished . prior to his jim dandy win , the dark bay was classic - placed in the g1 belmont stakes .
stay thirsty , who ran 12th in the derby and second in the belmont before his jim dandy - travers sweep , returned $ 6 . 80 , $ 4 . 20 and $ 3 . 40 . rattlesnake bridge , ridden by john velazquez , paid $ 10 . 80 and $ 7 . 60 , and j w blue returned $ 11 . 40 to show .
the expectation is that stay thirsty will contest the jockey club gold cup prior to the breeders ' cup classic as part of a program that might make him champion of his division and a horse of the year contender . those races will test both the colt ' s apparent maturity and his rise up the class ladder when he tackles older horses for the first time .
stay thirsty built his resume in 2011 as a 3 - year - old , starting with a win in the gotham stakes ( gr . iii ) and highlighting the year with a 1 1 / 4 length victory in the travers stakes ( gr . i ) . the colt also finished second in the belmont stakes ( gr . i ) by ¾ of a length behind ruler on ice . he topped off his new york campaign with a third place finish in the jockey club gold cup stakes ( gr . i ) behind flat out and eventual breeders’ cup classic ( gr . i ) winner drosselmeyer . stay thirsty ended his 3 - year - old season in the breeders’ cup classic ( gr . i ) , finishing 11 th .
sent off as the 2 - 1 favorite in the field of 10 , stay thirsty raced just off the pace set by preakness winner shackleford . but when the field turned for home in front of a crowd of 43 , 050 , the son of 2006 travers winner bernardini surged to the lead under javier castellano and held off rattlesnake bridge by 1 1 / 4 lengths .
uncle mo begins his stallion career as the grandson of in excess ( ire ) , one of the top stallions in california before being pensioned in july . stay thirsty , who will race at age four according to his facebook page , will begin his stallion career next year as the grandson of a . p . indy , one of the top stallions of his generation .
stay thirsty ' s sire bernardini won from a mile to 1 1 / 4 miles , including the preakness and travers stakes . as a three year old he beat older horses in the jockey club gold cup . although he was second to invasor in a highly anticipated match - up in the breeders’ cup classic , bernardini earned horse of the year honors for his previous exploits .
ryan : we all shared the same keys so we had to stay together ! they were like , “why are there so many keys on this one ring ? ” and we were like , “well , we ' re all one package ! ” but , you know , it ' s all curable and there are no symptoms . just stay away from des roar .

stay thirsty doesn’t appear to be a large colt , but he is well - balanced , muscular and has a smooth stride . he has a well - angled shoulder and has the lean demeanor of a route horse . size isn’t an indicator of racing prowess . notable horse that were smaller than average include kentucky derby winners northern dancer , mine that bird and belmont stakes winner birdstone .
with his female family’s success with jumpers in his second and third dam , he could also bring an interesting twist to the steeplechase scene if any breeder decides to go that route . of the six bernardini stallions standing at stud in 2013 , stay thirsty is the second most expensive at stud with a fee of $ 20 , 000 behind to honor and serve’s $ 30 , 000 .
“i feel like he’s rounding into his best form off his last couple of breezes , ” said pletcher , who was planning to give stay thirsty his last woodward breeze sunday . “the suburban was a really hot day and he didn’t seem to fire at all . it took a little while for him to rebound so i felt like we ran out of time to make the whitney . ”
stay thirsty separates himself from every other 3 - year - old by far right now ,
repole said .
there ' s nothing else this horse can do . he should have won the belmont . he ran an incredible jim dandy . javier rode him great . he was all out , a length and a half . there ' s no doubt in my mind .
stay hydrated . one of the most important things seniors — and any human , really — can do is drink plenty of fluids . as people age , the ability for the body to conserve water diminishes , so it becomes more difficult for seniors to gauge the need for liquid . keep water and sports drinks close at hand to rehydrate and replenish electrolytes even when you’re not feeling thirsty .
in 2012 , he finished second in the ungraded vanlandingham stakes in his may debut but finished second in two graded stakes before finishing second by a head to flat out in the tvg jockey club gold cup invitational stakes ( gr . i ) . stay thirsty finished his career with a second grade one victory when he won the cigar mile handicap ( gr . i ) over groupie doll .

black seadevils are small , deep - sea anglerfish of the family melanocetidae , which includes one genus ( melanocetus ) and six species ( melanocetus eustalus , m . johnsonii , m . murrayi , m . niger , m . polyactis and m . rossi ) found worldwide .

“anglerfish , like this melanocetus , are among the most rarely seen of all deep - sea fishes , dr robison said .
the four remaining species are much more closely related to each other than any is to m . murrayi . five characters can be used to distinguish these forms : 1 ) number of lower jaw teeth , 2 ) longest lower jaw tooth , 3 ) illicium length , 4 ) escal bulb width , and 5 ) escal morphology . unfortunately , all but the last of these characters overlap in variation among the remaining forms of the genus , and , furthermore , the relative primitiveness of character states among these features is nearly impossible to determine . melanocetus johnsonii is perhaps derived in having a relatively long illicium , and in having fewer , but longer jaw teeth ( see pietsch 1972b , 1974a ) . melanocetus polyactis and m . niger are similar in having relatively short jaw teeth , a similar escal morphology lacking anterior and posterior crests , and a sympatric geographic distribution that is restricted to the gulf of panama and adjacent eastern tropical pacific . melanocetus eustalus is derived in having an extremely large escal bulb , comparable to no other known ceratioid .
dr bruce robison of the monterey bay aquarium research institute and his colleagues observed a black seadevil ( probably melanocetus johnsonii ) in the waters of the monterey canyon just off monterey bay , california , on november 17 , 2014 .
melanocetus johnsonii and m . murrayi , by far the best known species of the genus , have broad distributions , the former known from all three major oceans of the world , the latter from the atlantic and pacific . melanocetus rossi is represented by a single specimen collected in the ross sea , antarctica ; m . polyactis and m . niger , known from 15 and six specimens , respectively , are both restricted to the eastern tropical pacific ; and m . eustales , is known from a single specimen collected in the eastern pacific off mazatlán , mexico .

color of metamorphosed females dark brown to black over entire surface of head and body ( except for distal portion of escal bulb ) and oral cavity ; all fins white in specimens less than approximately 40 mm ( except for caudal - fin rays of adolescent specimens of melanocetus murrayi ; bertelsen , 1951 : 47 , fig . 16i ) . metamorphosed males with outer pigmentation as for females ( except nasal area unpigmented ) , subdermal pigmentation variable ( bertelsen , 1951 : 42 ; pietsch and van duzer , 1980 : 83 ) .
the family melanocetidae includes globose bathypelagic anglerfishes , easily separated from members of allied families by having a combination of features that includes 12 or more dorsal - fin rays , three to five anal - fin rays , a huge mouth , and numerous long fang - like teeth ( bertelsen , 1951 ; pietsch , 1972a ; pietsch and van duzer , 1980 ) . the only currently recognized genus of the family was established by günther ( 1864 ) with the description of melanocetus johnsonii , based on a single female specimen collected in the atlantic ocean off madeira . since that time , 13 additional species based on females have been described . the family currently includes six recognized species ( pietsch and van duzer , 1980 ; balushkin and fedorov , 1981 )

metamorphosed males and females of the family melanocetidae are distinguished from those of all other ceratioid families by having a combination of 13 - 16 ( rarely 12 or 17 ) dorsal - fin rays and 4 ( rarely 3 or 5 ) anal - fin rays .
metamorphosed males are further differentiated in having the following combination of character states : eyes directed laterally , elliptical in shape , pupil larger than lens ; olfactory organs large , nostrils lateral , inflated ; nasal area unpigmented ; 12 - 24 olfactory lamellae ; jaw teeth absent ; upper denticular with 2 or 3 semicircular series of strong recurved denticles , fused with a median series of 3 - 9 enlarged dermal spines that articulate with the pterygiophore of the illicium ; lower denticular with 10 - 23 recurved denticles , fused into a median and two lateral groups ; skin spinulose or naked ; fin - ray counts as given for metamorphosed females ; free - living , never parasitic , two known examples of males attached to females in temporary coupling ( pietsch , 2005 ) .
larvae are further differentiated in having the following combination of character states : body short , almost spherical ; skin moderately inflated ; pectoral fins of normal size , not reaching beyond dorsal and anal fins ; pelvic fins absent ; sexual dimorphism evident , females with a small , club - shaped illicial rudiment protruding from head ; fin - ray counts as given for metamorphosed females ; metamorphosis beginning at lengths of 8 - 10 mm sl ( bertelsen , 1951 : 45 , 49 , figs . 16a - g , 17a - f ; 1984 : 326 , 328 , fig . 169c - d ) .
the largest known female is a 135 - mm specimen of m . johnsonii ; the largest known metamorphosed male , also identified as m . johnsoni , measures 28 mm .
the melanocetidae appears to be a relatively primitive ceratioid family ( bertelsen 1951 ; pietsch 1972a , 1976 , 1979 ) . the five species are characterized by a confusing mosaic of primitive and derived character states such that an interpretation of interspecific phylogenetic relationships is difficult . in any case , however , it seems apparent that m . murrayi has split off from the main line of melanocetid evolution and acquired a number of unique features that reflect its most derived position in the genus : 1 ) depressed cranium , 2 ) concave vomer , 3 ) small pectoral fin , 4 ) tiny escal bulb , and 5 ) thin integument . living in considerably deeper strata than its congeners most probably also reflects a derived condition .

scientists from the monterey bay aquarium research institute using their remotely operated vehicle doc ricketts have filmed a rare and bizarre - looking anglerfish called the black seadevil in its native habitat , at depths of about 580 meters .
“the shining spot at the tip of the ‘fishing pole’ projecting from the fish’s head is a glowing lure . ”
“the anglerfish uses its light to attract prey in its deep , dark habitat . ”
the scientists believe that this is the first video footage ever made of this species alive and at depth .
“this is the first time we have captured this fish on video in its habitat , ” dr robison said .
