'RISING STAR' CHANCERMCPATRICK SWEEPS TO
VICTORY IN HOPEFULSARATOGA SEASON WRAPS UP ON A HIGH
by Mike KaneSARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. - In a summer like no other at
Saratoga Race Course --words that are appropriate most every
year--which concluded Monday, there was noteworthy changethat blended nicely into the tradition that make America's mostimportant race meet so popular. To wit:
$ A year ago, the main story of the meet, was the number ofcatastrophic injuries - 14 - which horses suffered in training
and competition. With even more strict safety measures inplace, there was single racing fatality and one in training
during the meeting.
$ Though it technically was not part of the Saratoga season,
the Belmont Stakes at Saratoga Festival, June 6-9, held
upstate for the first time due to the reconstruction of
Belmont Park, kicked off racing at the earliest date in theoh-so long history of the sport in the city. The New YorkRacing Association returned to Aqueduct for a month
before the summer meet launch on July 11. Cont. p6

Chancer McPatrick (outside) besting Ferocious | Sarah Andrew

by Christina Bossinakis
In what turned out to be the battle of the TDN Rising Stars, it
was Chancer McPatrick (McKinzie) who, despite a problematic
start, came on late to outgun Ferocious (Flatter) in Saratoga's
closing day marquee juvenile test, the GI Hopeful Stakes.
AWhen it=s meant to be, it=s meant to be,@ said rider Flavien
Prat, who was winning his seventh Grade I race of the meet.
AThe break was pretty bad and I never thought from there I
could regroup. He did it and he showed that he=s very talented.@
The victory gave Prat his 14th graded victory of the meet--also
his third on Monday's card--and the fifth win of the afternoon
for red-hot trainer Chad Brown, who ended the meet with six
Grade I victories and 45 wins overall.
AIt means the world. My team works so hard--the clients andhorses we have to work with--it=s just a magical meet,@ said
Brown of his 2024 Saratoga meet. AIt=s a meet for the ages, and I
don=t know how myself or anyone else could replicate this. It
seems impossible. It all came together with a very strong,diverse group of horses. My team showed off their talents to beable to train any kind of horse--different ages, surfaces,
distances. They showed when given the right horses to workwith, they can certainly get them there. I=m proud of them andproud of the horses.@ Cont. p3

Saratoga's marquee race, the $1.25 million Travers Stakes
on Aug. 24, more than lived up to lofty expectations. In a
dramatic finish, Fierceness (City of Light) held off the filly
star Thorpedo Anna (Fast Anna) in what turned into a
showdown of the leaders of the 3-year-old divisions.
$ Jockey Flavien Prat smashed the meet record for stakes
victories with 18 and finished second to Ortiz, Jr. with 45
wins. The previous stakes record of 15 was shared by Joel
Rosario, Ortiz, Jr. and John Velazquez. Forty percent of
Prat's wins were in stakes.
$ Hall of Fame trainer D. Wayne Lukas, who had a frustrating
season, received a gift on his 89th birthday on Monday's
card with a victory in the first race. It was his 266th
Saratoga victory, fifth all-time.
NYRA president David O'Rourke said that the combination of
the calendar and staging of the Belmont Stakes appeared tohave some impact on the way the way the season unfolded in its
opening weeks"It's a unique year with the Belmont being here," he said. "It's
one of the early Labor Day years, and next year will be evenmore so. So we had a little bit more in July. Could there havebeen a little bit of a demand pull forward from Belmont? Yeah,

"That's a credit to Dr. Sarah and her staff. I think is evidenced
by industry-wide numbers, racing is moving in the right
direction. The results are in the stats."
Dr. Sarah Hinchliffe is the Director of the NYRA Veterinary
Dept., which is staffed by 10 veterinarians and two veterinary
technicians.
"Safety is something that every stakeholder in the game hasleaned into," O'Rourke said. "We'll get asked about the tracks
all the time, but it's the vets and most importantly, the trainers,
who care for the horses. Everyone's leaned in, everyone's on
board, and we're seeing positive things."
As part of its safety program, NYRA took races off the grassearly in the season, which helped preserve the courses for heavy
use in the last couple of weeks. Rather than move some grassstakes to the dirt due to rain it postponed them a week.
Brown grew up in nearby Mechanicville and developed his
interest in racing during family visits to the track. He won withhis very first Saratoga starter, Star Player (Tale of the Cat) in thefirst race on the opening day of the 2008 season. He won his
first meet title in 2016.
This summer, Brown won six Grade I stakes--Diana,
Fourstardave, H. Allen Jerkens Memorial, Personal Ensign, Testand Hopeful--and a total of 13 graded stakes.

Muth returning a winner in last weekend's Shared Belief Stakes
BenoitGI Arkansas Derby winner Muth (Good Magic) marked his
return to the races Sunday with a victory in the Shared Belief
Stakes at Del Mar.
Checking off the initial box on his road back, the $2 million OBS
March topper is now poised to take the next step on the road tothis fall's Breeders' Cup, which will be held at Del Mar Nov. 4-5.
"He's always been a really smart horse," said trainer Bob
Baffert. "You can place him wherever you want to. He had tomove a little earlier because my other horse [Imagination] wasbreathing down his neck [in the Shared Belief]. It's good see him
back off that long layoff. Now we can point for the California
Crown."The new GI California Crown, formerly the Awesome Again,
will be run at Santa Anita on Sept. 28. The nine-furlong test is
worth $1 million and is a "Win and You're In" for the Classic.
Precluded from running in the Kentucky Derby due his trainer's
ineligibility, the Zedan Racing colt was knocked out of the GI
Preakness Stakes due to illness.

TUESDAY • SEPTEMBER 3, 2024

"It was so disappointing to have him ready for the Preakness
then he gets sick," Baffert recalls. "Something I was always
worried about throughout my career, that these big horses
would get sick. During the Triple Crown with [American]'Pharoah' and Justify I went all those years and finally it hits. I
think that's what every trainer worries about is sickness. Whenthey get sick and they're travelling, that's why it hit him so
hard."
Muth broke his maiden first out and then ran second in last
year's GIII Best Pal Stakes, followed by a win in the GI American
Pharoah Stakes at Santa Anita and a runner-up finish to
Fierceness in the GI Breeders' Cup Juvenile. He started this yearwith victories in the GII San Vicente and Arkansas Derby before
falling ill in May.
"That was a really tough race," Baffert noted of this weekend's
Shared Belief. "There were some good 3-year-olds. It was like a
Grade II race. There are no easy spots down here at Del Mar. Allof them are going to be tough."

LETTERS TO THE EDITORA UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY
by Suzi Pritchard-Jones

The Man O' War Project is one of many EAS programs designed
to help veterans with PTSD | courtesy Man O' War Project
Last week, the 40th Asian Racing Conference took place in
Sapporo, Japan. You may ask what relevance that has foranyone with horses in Continental America or Europe? The
answer is many owners and trainers today play on the global
stage. As an extremely small owner and breeder, even I havehorses in the U.S., Ireland, England, France, and fractional
ownership in Australia. And what do we all do first thing every
morning? Read the Thoroughbred Daily News, and many listen
to the Nick Luck Daily Podcast. In doing so, we have a roughoversight of what is happening in our industry on a daily basis.
Sometimes word filters via >bush telegraph= from countries
outside the U.S. long before it ever hits media sources.
I=m sure there are perhaps other industries as globallyconnected, but I can guarantee not to the same extent, and thismakes this industry unique. The connectivity of theThoroughbred industry affords us the opportunity to manage
information, to market, to publicize, to promote any message.
Do we recognize this? Do we utilize this? NO. Why? Because weare all too siloed, too busy paddling our own canoes, too
fractionalized to work together for the greater good of our sportand business.
The chairman of the Asian Racing Federation, Winfried
Engelbrecht-Bresges, spoke of racing=s social licence and Athechallenge of how we as an industry are seen by people who are
not in racing.@ The International Forum for the Aftercare of
Racehorses (IFAR), whose one-day conference preceded the
Asian Racing Conference, did much to place the topic of

TUESDAY • SEPTEMBER 3, 2024

aftercare on the minds of those in the corridors of power ofracing jurisdictions around the world.
There has been too much bad press on the subject on what
happens to Thoroughbreds when their racing careers are over.
Sadly, this is not unfounded, and it does need to be exposed, but
unfortunately we as a collective have failed miserably to address
this situation. Yes, great strides have been made in the last 15 or
so years, but it is only since the inception of IFAR that the topic
has been addressed uniformly. The organizations we have arebrilliant, and are a gallant attempt to stuff the dike. They are abase from which to work to develop a model we can be proud ofas an industry, and not a stopgap.
We all know racing=s social licence is wafer-thin. We know ourfan base is diminishing in not all countries, but most. There are agazillion marketing strategies out there with ways to attract a
new and younger audience. The issue is the majority of theyounger demographic today has no reference to horses, and has
probably never even seen one in real life. Horses are about asrelevant to them as dinosaurs.
What we do have in the Western world is a mental healthcrisis, be it children with ADHD, learning issues, social anxiety,depression, isolation; adults who are the victims of domestic
abuse, alcohol or drug addiction, PTSD, veterans, prisoners or
those battling suicidal tendencies. The field of Equine Assisted
Services (EAS) is one which has expanded exponentially over thelast 20 years, to where today, many governments around theworld are now helping to fund various EAS programs which areproving to be so much more effective than any recognized formof therapy or medication. The fact that EAS is changing lives ispossibly one of the best-kept secrets of the 21st century.
Today, there are a number of EAS programs using
Thoroughbreds, and we are discovering that the Thoroughbred
is ideally suited for this type of work. It is not a given, however,that this could be an avenue for many of our retired racehorses,
as outside of the Thoroughbred community, our industry isviewed by many with suspicion and distrust.

Cont.
We are certainly not held in high esteem outside of ourbubble. But we could be, and we could be leaders, IF instead ofeach paddling our own canoe, we come together collectively topromote the work being achieved by our retired racehorses
engaged in the various models of EAS around the world.
Not only could we inform, but we could reach a huge swath ofthe population and connect them to these magical creatures,
creating an understanding of the bond which has existed
between horses and humans throughout the centuries.
Guarantee you wouldn=t be finding articles in the Daily
Telegraph titled AShould we be riding horses?@ any more.
Call EAS an olive branch to reconnect this industry to the restof society, or carry-on selfishly banging your own drums
proclaiming all the good you all individually do. (FYI, it=s notworking.)
It=s time to do better. We have an opportunity to create
meaningful change, but this will not happen until organizations
and corporations come together to work jointly to the sameend. I have asked the world=s auction houses to facilitate
information on the many different modalities of EAS programs
available. I now ask the racing and bloodstock media outlets ifthey would be prepared to do so? And whether the world=s
racecourses would take a look at programs such as Abijahs
currently in operation at Canterbury Park with a view toreplicating something similar.
We are a global community. It=s time to begin acting as ONE,and not as individual fiefdoms, if we are to survive as anindustry.

Big Invasion has found his knack for good timing once again,
and broken a five-race skid here with a photo in his favor in theHarvey Pack Stakes at Saratoga.
Despite coming a neck short of winning the GI Breeders= Cup
Turf Spring last season, and posting a career-high Beyer of 102,
things did not go his way in 2024. He was off the board in every
start until last out July 4, when he showed shadows of his former
self en-route to running second against an optional claiming
field at the Belmont Big A meet.
Given a 7-2 shot to get back into form here, Big Invasion took
some light contact after the start and dropped back to eighth,
content to watch as Souper Quest pushed High Front () through:21.08, :43.67 and :55.34 splits as they swung into the lane.
Rolling from four wide late on the bend, Big Invasion started
picking off his rivals as the frontrunner threw up the white flag
midstretch and Souper Quest could not outkick the far outsideclosers. Moving in tandem with Our Shot, the winner proved too
much for that hopeful and got his head down in a photo.
"He=s back to winning. It=s been a long time since he last won,"
said Christophe Clement. "Even if I was very disappointed atAqueduct [July 4], he actually ran very well finishing second-they actually broke the track record that day. I=m delighted hewon today so we can go on to better things."

When asked about a potential start in the GIII Belmont Turf
Sprint Oct. 5, Clement reiterated that a return to the Breeders=
Cup was the long-term goal. "We could go there. At the
moment, probably [pointing long term to the] Breeders= Cup[Turf Sprint], but he will run once in between."
Big Invasion is the third in a row for his dam=s eldest offspring
to claim black type. He has one winning young half-brother Air
Invasion (Air Force Blue) and a 2-year-old half-brother named
War Cadence (War of Will). Curls in Place has a 2024 Bolt d=Orocolt to her credit and was bred to Not This Time for 2025. Clickfor the Equibase.com chart or VIDEO, sponsored by FanDuel TV.

Juddmonte homebred Show Card romped home the easiest of
winners in the Tranquility Lake Stakes at Del Mar Monday. The
bay filly sat just off pacesetter Yuki through a quarter in :23.42

down the backstretch as the half went up in :47.25. Cont.

Show Card took charge approaching the stretch and strodeclear down the lane to an effortless victory.
Favored Super Shine was left at the gate and trailed the field
early. Rank up the backstretch, she moved up along the rail tochallenge for the lead on the inside of the pacesetter while
Show Card was making her move to the outside, but her rally
flattened out at the top of the lane. She fought back to grab therunner-up spot.
Show Card produced back-to-back victories at Santa Anita thisspring, breaking her maiden Mar. 16 and returning to beatwinners May 5, both at six furlongs. Stretched to two turns forthe first time, she faded to last of four in the 1 1/16-mile GII
Summertime Oaks last time out June 8.
Cognitive, purchased by Juddmonte for $500,000 as a yearlingat the 2016 Fasig-Tipton Saratoga sale, has an unraced 2-yearold filly by Not This Time, as well as a yearling filly by Into
Mischief and a weanling filly by Constitution. She was bred backto Constitution this year. The winner's third dam, Turbo Dream(Unbridled), produced multiple Grade I winner Dream Rush.

Fifteen-year-old Ruairi Kilmartin with lot 159, the Dark Angel (Ire) filly
he sold for 70,000gns | Alayna Cullen

By Adam Houghton
NEWMARKET, England--Fifteen-year-old Ruairi Kilmartin wasleft speechless after his Dark Angel (Ire) filly--a mere €7,000 buy
at the Goffs November Foal Sale--had provided him with afairytale result when selling to Paul Corrigan for 70,000gns on
the opening day of the Tattersalls Somerville Yearling Sale.
"No, never," an incredulous Kilmartin replied when asked
whether he'd dared to dream of lot 159 making that sort ofmoney. "I thought she'd make 20 or 30 grand, but that's
exceeded my expectations. We were flat out there yesterday
evening with 40 or 50 shows, and she had three vets, but I didn't
know what would happen."
Certainly, few could have predicted what played out at Park
Paddocks before an emotional Kilmartin watched his filly exit
the sales ring, having achieved the sort of result that many
involved in the game wait a whole lifetime for, often in vain.
But don't be fooled into thinking that this was a stroke of luckon Kilmartin's part. Cont. p3

Tattersalls Somerville Yearling Sale Cont. from p1
No, this was all down to a young man who showed cool, hard
judgement well beyond his years when he first saw the filly as afoal, less than three weeks after her full-sister, Heritage House(Ire), had finished fourth in a Listed race at Newmarket.
"She was by Dark Angel and her dam was a half-sister toMehmas, so it was all speed," Kilmartin said of his reasoning
behind the initial i7,000 purchase. "I saw her full-sister was intraining with James Fanshawe and that she'd finished fourth in a
Listed race. I thought she'd go on and get more black type, andluckily she did."
The filly was consigned by Kilmartin's father, Dermot, under
the name of his Kildallan Farm in Westmeath. This seemingly
wasn't Ruairi's first time with a bit of his own skin in the game,but he was in no doubt that this topped anything he'd done
previously--and he has no plans to stop here, either.
"I'll go buy a few more foals!" he said of what might become of
his windfall. "I've had a leg or two in a few of my dad's breezers
before now, but this is by far the best result--I'm delighted."
Equally delighted to get his hands on lot 159 was Corrigan, a
big supporter of the Linda Perratt yard in South Lanarkshire.
That is likely to be the ultimate destination for this filly after
Corrigan secured her with an online bid, acting on the advice ofanother youngster with a big future in the shape of apprenticejockey Tommie Jakes.
"Tommie chose her," said Corrigan. "He rides a lot for us andhis family became friends. His mum [Tonie] and dad [Jeremy]
have had horses for a long time. They will look after her andbreak her, etc. before she most likely moves to Linda's yard.
Tommie thought she had plenty of scope and she should be anice horse in the making." Cont. p4

It's worth pointing out that direct statistical comparisons withlast year are difficult with this being the first two-day edition of

"I have been going around with Roger and he has been really

"I like the sire and I quite like them as a bunch," Ryan added of
the stallion. "I think he has got every chance."
Starman is certainly in the right place to make a good fist of his
second career, while there are seemingly worse places to bethan Tally-Ho if you're a young person looking to make your way
in the industry, too.
Indeed, look no further than young Ruairi Kilmartin, who

The O'Callaghans weren't the only Irish racing dynasty able tocelebrate a good day's work.
Paddy Burns, who belongs to another family which has beenheavily involved in this industry for several generations, with
uncle Maurice the owner of Rathasker Stud near Naas, alsocame away from Tattersalls having landed a nice touch. Thatsaid, can it be called a good day's work when your Acclamation(GB) colt is the very first lot through the ring, allowing you tohead for your ferry crossing at Holyhead around the time thisscribe was still considering the breakfast options at Park
Paddocks?
I jest, of course, but the 75,000gns it cost Oliver St Lawrence tosecure lot 2 certainly put a spring in Burns's step as heembarked on the long journey home to Loughtown Stud, aresult which came about after he bought the dam, Adelante (Fr)
(Zoffany {Ire}) for 25,000gns at the 2020 Tattersalls December
Mares Sale. Cont. p6

"I bought the mare out of George Baker=s yard," Burns said ofthat initial purchase. "She was a tough, consistent filly and I like
Zoffany as a broodmare sire. Royal Applause has worked on thefamily before, so we went for the same sireline with this colt.
"Thankfully, he was very popular and a lot of great judges
were very complimentary about him as a speedy, sharp-looking
sort of colt. They followed through on that in the ring and Oliver,Fawzi [Nass] and the Victorious Racing team are very lucky andsuccessful owners. Hopefully, this guy brings them more of thesame."
Burns was a first-time consignor at the Somerville YearlingSale, but he promised to be back--even if the early bird slot can't
be guaranteed every time--while St Lawrence was busy trying tofind another Bradsell (GB) (Tasleet {GB}) for the Victorious
Racing team. Bradsell, of course, sold at this sale for just 12,000
guineas in 2021, before finding his way into the hands of his
Bahraini owners after being bought by Blandford Bloodstock for,47,000 at the Goffs UK Breeze-up Sale.
On Monday three yearlings went the way of St Lawrence on
their behalf for a total of 190,000gns, with the others including
lot 163, Ballyvolane Stud's Ardad (Ire) colt who fetched
65,000gns.

George Scott was one of the most active members of the
training ranks at the sale as he signed for six lots intandem with Billy Jackson-Stops, while Eve Johnson
Houghton and Highflyer's Anthony Bromley wereanother formidable combination as they came awaywith six of their own. However, it was Clive Cox who
arguably made the biggest statement as he went to85,000gns to secure a Sands Of Mali (Fr) colt from theBarton Stud draft. Lot 200 was one of five purchases
made by the Lambourn trainer for a total of 236,000gns.

Philipp Stauffenberg was another first-time consignor at
this year's Somerville Yearling Sale and, though his A'Ali(Ire) filly [lot 185] failed to find a buyer, it still proved aworthwhile venture as his other filly by Hello Youmzain(Fr ) [lot 223] went the way of Highflyer for 68,000gns.
Admittedly, breeding precocious, speedy two-year-olds
isn't really in keeping with the German way of doing
things, but the name Stauffenberg Bloodstock is always
to be respected in this game, whatever thecircumstances. It will be interesting to see whether theteam follow up with further consignments at this sale inthe years to come. Cont. p7

Last year a total of seven six-figure yearlings sold at thissale, so it's fair to say that there's work to be done on
day two to at least match that feat after lot 154, theStarman (GB) filly, was the only one to reach thatbenchmark during this opening session. There's
obviously no reason for the team at Tattersalls to panic
just yet, with over 210 yearlings still to go through thering on Tuesday, but they might have hoped to be a bit
further ahead of the curve given the much bigger

job they did with their Ubettabelieveit (Ire) filly who went theway of Rabbah Bloodstock for 62,000gns. Successful pinhooks toreport were otherwise in relatively short supply on the day, so
it's worth shining a light on the story of lot 189, a mere
12,000gns purchase at last year's Tattersalls December Foal
Sale. She was sold on that occasion by Mickley Stud who would
still have been celebrating this result for their first-season sire
who stands at a fee of just ,5,000.

It wasn't just the top end of the market which seemed tosuffer, either. The average for 161 lots sold on Monday
was 27,239gns, while the median was 22,000gns. By way
of comparison, the average at the end of last year's salefor 271 yearlings sold was 31,904gns. The median was
27,000gns.

DAY 1

Buy of the Day
There isn't much of lot 92, the Kessaar (Ire) colt offered by
Ringfort Stud. Nor is there much to speak of when it comes tothe race record of his dam, the Mehmas (Ire) mare Destacado(Ire), who retired as an 11-race maiden. However, dig a little
deeper in the pedigree and there's enough there to suggest thathe could prove a shrewd buy at just 5,000gns. This colt is
Destacado's first foal, but she in turn is a half-sister to four-black
type performers, including the Listed winners Redolent (Ire)(Redback {GB}) and Pepita (Ire) (Sir Prancealot {Ire})--the dam oflast month's G2 Lowther Stakes heroine Celandine (GB)(Kingman {GB})--plus the G3 Albany Stakes third Illaunglass (Ire)(Red Clubs {Ire}). Every inch a two-year-old, lot 92 could be thetype to emulate Pont Neuf (Ire) (Cotai Glory {GB}), who won oneof the first juvenile races of the season after being picked up by

Houghton--for 24,000gns at this sale 12 months ago.

to let him do it before the Classic as while he was aggressive thelast day, he=ll be more aggressive the next day,@ he said.
AWe didn=t want to do that until very late because of what
happened in the Guineas. It just took a long time to get back andwe had to do it very subtle without him knowing. We had tokeep him moving forward, so it took us a long time to get backto [front-running] at York.

HOCK INJURY SIDELINES WHITE BIRCH FOR
THE REST OF THE SEASONWhite Birch | Racingfotos.com

High-class older horse White Birch (GB) (Ulysses {Ire}) is set tomiss the remainder of the season due to a hock injury, it wasannounced on Monday.
Trained by John Murphy, White Birch kicked off the campaign
in the best possible fashion with three straight wins at the
Curragh, notably gaining his first success at the top level whenlast seen beating Auguste Rodin by three lengths in the
Tattersalls Gold Cup in May.
That performance identified him as potentially a leading player
for the major middle-distance prizes during the summer, but hewas subsequently ruled out of the Prince Of Wales's Stakes andCoral-Eclipse due to unsatisfactory blood results.
The Murphy team had hoped to get him back for the autumn
and a tilt at next weekend's Irish Champion Stakes at
Leopardstown, but those plans have now had to be shelved
after this latest setback.
George Murphy, assistant to his father, said, AHe's just strained
his near hock and he has to have box rest for three to fourweeks, so unfortunately that will rule him out.
AIt's just bad timing and it's unfortunate, but we're looking

LOS ANGELES LIKELY FOR IRISH CHAMPION,AS O=BRIEN REVEALS PLANS FOR STABLE STARS
Camelot (GB)=s Los Angeles (Ire) is likely to contest the G1 Irish
Champion Stakes on Irish Champions Weekend alongside Aidan
O=Brien stablemates August Rodin (Ire) (Deep Impact {Jpn}) andLuxemborg (Ire) (Camelot {GB}), O=Brien revealed on Monday.
The master of Ballydoyle also outlined plans for other runners
from his stable for the mid-September meeting.
Five-for-six in his young career, with a third in the G1 Derby
followed by victories in the G1 Irish Derby and G2 Great
Voltigeur Stakes in June and August, respectively, Los Angeles
faces a tough ask in the 1 1/4-mile Leopardstown affair on Sept.
14. He is also entered in the G1 St Leger Stakes at Doncasterthat same day.
AIt looks like at the moment Los Angeles is going to run,@ said
O=Brien. AWe had it in our head going to York that we might gothat way and that was the reason for doing it.
AWe thought he=s the kind of horse that could finish in the first
three, four or five in a [Irish] Champion Stakes and could go onto
an Arc. That=s what we still think and if the ground got soft inFrance he=d have no problem with that.
AObviously we were delighted with his run in York. We could
go to the Leger with him, but we have three others [by Galileo(Ire)] that look like real Leger horses (Illinois {Ire}, Jan Brueghel{Ire} and Grosvenor Square {Ire}) that will get the trip very welland we didn=t think that he needs to go that trip.
AIt definitely won=t do him any harm to run over a mile and aquarter and we=ll learn a lot about him. He could be an Arc horseand I=d say there=s no doubt he=ll stay in training next year.@Cont. p10

Los Angeles/O=Brien ICW Team Cont.
In 2023, Derby/Irish Derby winner Auguste Rodin used a win in
the Irish Champion as a springboard to a thrilling victory in the
GI Breeders= Cup Turf. Although a winner of the G1 Prince Of
Wales=s Stakes at Royal Ascot in June, the 4-year-old is aiming
for some redemption after a fifth-place run in the G1 King
George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes last out on July 27. The
G1 Japan Cup is the long term goal for the son of Deep Impact.
AHe loves fast ground and his last bit of work was excellent, heshowed a lot of zest in it,@ added O=Brien. AHe went by his leadhorse very easy, whereas usually he wouldn=t at that stage of
the work. He was very confident and it was a bit different.
AThe plan is to go to Leopardstown and then go to Japan after
it. We think he=s a mile-and-a-quarter horse that gets a mile anda half, but he doesn=t want any further than that. He=s a very
slick horse who travels very well and does everything very easy.
AIf he [Auguste Rodin] runs I=d imagine Ryan will ride him. I
suppose if the ground got soft everything might change, but I=dimagine he will ride him.@
Another Irish Champion Stakes entrant is Luxembourg, whoclaimed the G1 Coronation Cup in May. The 5-year-old entire led
for part of the King George before succumbing to the charge of
Goliath (Ger) (Adlerflug {Ger}) and finishing sixth.
ALuxembourg is a very consistent, strong horse,@ said O=Brien.
AHe=ll go forward--over a mile and a quarter he doesn=t mind
making the running and you have to follow him because he
won=t be stopping.@
On the juvenile front, the unbeaten Railway/Futurity Stakes
hero Henri Matisse (Ire) (Wootton Bassett {GB}) looms large in
the G1 National Stakes, with G3 Acomb Stakes-winningstablemate The Lion In Winter (Ire) (Sea The Stars {Ire}) more
likely for the Goffs Million on Sept. 28. Multiple group winnerBedtime Story (Ire), a winner of all four of her starts, and Lake
Victoria (Ire), who sports a win in the G3 Sweet Solera Stakes,
will represent Frankel in the G1 Moyglare Stud Stakes. The
Cheveley Park Stakes is the aim for two-time Group 3 scorer
Fairy Godmother (Ire) (Night Of Thunder {Ire}).
AThat [National Stakes] was always the plan for Henri Matisse
and the lads will decide whether the horse that won in York will
run or not, but he=s still there,@ said O=Brien. AIf he doesn=t gothere he=ll go to the Goffs. He=s being kept on the boil for the
National Stakes, but the plan is that he=ll go to the Million.@Group 1 winner Ylang Ylang (GB) (Frankel {GB}) is on song torace in the G1 Matron Stakes, while standout stayer Kyprios(Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) is aiming for his second consecutive G1 Irish
St Leger. Opera Singer (Justify) is targeting the G1 Prix Vermeillein the hopes of enhancing her G1 Prix de l=Arc de Triomphe
credentials.

INISHERIN AT LATEST ENTRY STAGE

Inisherin | Getty Images

Group 1-winning sprinter Inisherin (GB) (Shamardal) faces 21
rivals in Saturday=s G1 Betfair Sprint Cup at Haydock at the latest
entry stage.
Trained by Kevin Ryan, the 3-year-old colt won the G3 Sandy
Lane Stakes in the spring, before prevailing in the G1
Commonwealth Cup at Royal Ascot. Favoured for the G1 July
Cup, he could only manage fifth, and has been benched since.
Mill Stream (Ire) (Gleneagles {Ire}), successful in that July Cup,
was followed home by Swingalong (Ire) (Showcasing {GB}), who
is trained by Karl Burke for Sheikh Juma Dalmook Al Maktoum.
Philip Robinson, assistant racing manager for the sheikh, said,
AAll is going well and it has been the plan for a while since sheran at Newmarket.
AShe was beaten about a length and a half last year and I thinkshe is at least two lengths better this year, so hopefully she willbe thereabouts.
AIt=s the perfect race for her and one that has been on thecards for a long while.@
Burke will also saddle G3 Prix de Meautry hero Spycatcher(Ire) (Vadamos {Fr}) and multiple group winner Elite Status (GB)(Havana Grey {GB}), with the latter also owned by Inisherin=sowner Sheikh Mohammed Obaid.
There will be three contestants from William Haggas=s
Somerville Lodge, including Commonwealth Cup second Lake
Forest (GB) (No Nay Never), G3 Chipchase Sxtakes victor
Motassib (GB) (Exceed And Excel {Aus}) and Cheveley Park
Stud=s Unequal Love (GB) (Dutch Art {GB}). Flora Of Bermuda(Ire) (Dark Angel {Ire}) is a late addition to the Sprint Cup, andwas supplemented at a cost of ,20,000 on Monday. The
Bermuda Racing Limited runner won the G3 Summer Stakes twostarts ago. Cont. p11

HIGHCLERE FILLIES TARGET GROUP 1STUESDAY • 03 SEPTEMBER 2024

(Starspangledbanner {Aus}) is another Highclere filly hoping to
make her mark at the highest level. Also slated for a start on
Irish Champions Weekend in mid-September, the 3-year-old will
start in the G1 Matron Stakes, all being well.
Herbert said, AShe=s thriving, she=s fantastic and I think what
we learned in France was very much that we won=t be afraid toride her prominently.
AShe=s had this little bit of a quirk where she=s running free andthen it=s settle her down, settle her down at the back and in fact
what she wants to be doing is be much more prominent.
AShe seems to really enjoy that style of racing so in Ireland thatwill very much be the plan to ride her sensibly but don=t give her
too much to do.@

Believing (Ire) (Mehmas {Ire}), placed twice at the highest
level, is in good order ahead of a start in the G1 Flying Five
Stakes at the Curragh on Sept. 15, according to Highclere
Thoroughbred Racing=s Harry Herbert.
A winner of the G2 Sapphire Stakes over the minimum trip at
the Curragh in July, the 4-year-old filly was third to Big Evs (Ire)(Blue Point {Ire}) in the G2 King George Stakes at Goodwood,
before running fan favourite Bradsell (GB) (Tasleet {GB}) tothree-quarters of a length in the G1 Nunthorpe Stakes on Aug.
23.
He said, AA wonderful performance and sensational splits
through those last two furlongs so we head to the Curragh for
the Flying Five, on a track where she won a Group 2 last timeand hopefully she will be highly competitive again.
AShe=s an extraordinary animal and giving everyone a lot of
fun, so we hope it doesn=t get too soft over in Ireland and she
can go one better.
AWe=ll see who turns up and what the ground is like and see
what the final field for the Saturday looks like. Game on [for therematch with Bradsell]. He=s a wonderful horse, Bradsell,fantastic, and we weren=t that far away on the wrong side.
AThis is a straight five and hopefully we can get Ryan [Moore]
again and Bradsell will obviously be a pretty warm favourite andwe hope to go one better.@
