LAST CHANCE AT THE BIG DANCE: HADESMASTER OF THE SEASCAN PUNCH DERBY TICKET IN LEXINGTON
A CONVINCING WINNER OF Saturday=s GIII Stonestreet Lexington S. at Keeneland, the final
on the Road to the Kentucky Derby, offers a path to
THE MAKER'S MARK MILE stop
Churchill Downs for the first Saturday in May for D. J. Stable andMaster Of The Seas | Coadyby Alan Carasso
Making his fourth straight appearance on the North American
continent, Godolphin's Master Of The Seas (Ire) (Dubawi {Ire})
overcame easy underfoot conditions and five other rivals to add
Friday's GI Maker's Mark Mile to his previous victories in the
GI Ricoh Woodbine Mile and GI Breeders' Cup Mile when last
seen at Santa Anita last November. Naval Power (Ire) (Teofilo{Ire}), conversely racing for the first time on these shores,
completed the exacta for the 'Boys In Blue.'A(Jockey) William (Buick) gave us a great ride and Tyler(Gaffalione) gave his horse (Naval Power) a lovely ride, so wehope they both have a nice future for the summer here in
America,@ said winning trainer Charlie Appleby. Cont. p3

Robert Cotran=s Hades (Awesome Slew).
Currently on the outside looking in, Hades sits in 24th place on
the leaderboard with 30 points. The GI Kentucky Derby is limited
to 20 starters. The Lexington offers 42 points on a 20-10-6-4-2
scale.
With a victory, Hades would be in the top 20. A runner-up
finish would put him on the bubble.
Hades upset potential Kentucky Derby favorite and 'TDN
Rising Star' Fierceness (City of Light) (third) and next-out
GIII Lambholm South Tampa Bay Derby winner Domestic
Product (Practical Joke) (second) with a game victory in the
GIII Holy Bull S. Feb. 3. Hades suffered his first career defeat
finishing a well-beaten fifth behind Fierceness after getting
bumped at the start in the GI Curlin Florida Derby Mar. 30.
AWe need the points. I=m not going to go there to be number
21 (on the also-eligible list),@ trainer Joe Orseno said. AHe didn=t
get a chance to run in the Florida Derby.@
Hades will race with first-time blinkers in the Lexington andwill also receive a rider change to Jose Ortiz. Paco Lopez was
aboard Hades in his first four career starts.

Maker's Mark Mile cont.
Sent off at 77 cents on the dollar while making his 6-year-old
debut on a rare sunny afternoon in Central Kentucky, Master Of
The Seas gained a foothold at the fence and raced in theslipstream of pacesetting 'TDN Rising Star' Emmanuel (MoreThan Ready), though perhaps a fraction keen beneath William
Buick through an opening quarter in :24.38 on ground officiallylisted as yielding, but riding significantly slower than that.

SATURDAY • APRIL 13, 2024

More or less into the box seat inside of 'Rising Star' and 2022
Maker's Mark winner Shirl's Speight (Speightstown) passing thehalf-mile in :49.20, Master Of The Seas traveled strongly on theturn, looking all over a winner assuming he was able to findrunning room when push came to shove. They lined up six
across the course at the three-sixteenths, but Master Of The
Seas went for a run underneath the weakening pacesetter inupper stretch and kicked on nicely to win off as much the best.
Naval Power was a touch slow to begin, but split horses four off
the inside with a bit better than a furlong to travel and camehome well for second. Integration (Quality Road) came wide forthe drive, but could not match strides with the Godolphin duo
and settled for a never-nearer third.
Master Of The Seas joins the likes of Kip Deville and Wise Dan(2x) to have won the Maker's Mark subsequent to their
Breeders' Cup Mile successes. Miesque's Approval won the 2006
Maker's Mark before upsetting that year's Mile at Churchill
Downs. It was a first win in the race for Sheikh Mohammed's
operation. Cont. p4

Maker's Mark Mile cont.
AWhen he=s done as much winning as he has over here (inNorth America) on quick ground, you=re always slightly dubious
when the ground is as testing as it is out there today, but hedoes have past form on slower surfaces,@ said winning trainer
Charlie Appleby. AWhat I liked about it is that they (stablemates
Master of The Seas and runner-up Naval Power [GB]) got into a
nice rhythm around there. Naval Power unfortunately was a bit
slow from the gate. (Jockey) William (Buick) got in a lovely(position) for (Master of The Seas). Once they came off the turn,all William needed was that gap to be able to give him the signal
to pick up.@
Nearly three years ago to the day, Master Of The Seas was
winning the G3 Craven S. at Newmarket before going down to anose defeat at the hooves of Poetic Flare (Ire) (Dawn Approach{Ire}) in the G1 English 2000 Guineas a few weeks later at British
racing headquarters. Winner of the G3 Earl of Sefton S. in asingle 4-year-old start, the bay was unseen again until taking out
the G2 Zabeel Mile in Dubai in early 2023, but he was never afactor in the G1 Dubai Turf two months later.
The easy winner of the G2 Summer Mile over the straightcourse at Ascot last July, Master Of The Seas easily accounted
for Shirl's Speight in Toronto in September, was outfinished bychampion Up to the Mark (Not This Time) in the GI Keeneland
Turf Mile over course and distance Oct. 7 and managed toconquer gate 13 of 13 in the Breeders' Cup Mile, pegging backthe commonly owned Mawj (Ire) (Exceed and Excel {Aus}) on thewire.
Appleby said that both Master Of The Seas and Naval Power
would remain in the U.S., with the former likely for the GI TurfClassic on the Kentucky Derby undercard May 4. Both horses willsummer in Saratoga, the trainer said.
Pedigree Notes:
Master of the Seas, one of 57 Group 1/Grade I winners for his
legendary sire, is one of 10 winners from 12 to the races fromhis dam, a listed winner and runner-up in the 2002 G1 Pouled'Essai des Pouliches in France and later twice placed in thiscountry at the graded level while under the care of Eoin Harty.
Firth of Lorne's G3 UAE Oaks-winning daughter Falls of Lora is
not only the dam of Godolphin's four-time Australian Group 1
winner Cascadian (GB) (New Approach {Ire}), but also of Albahr(GB) (Dubawi {Ire}), winner of the 2019 GI Summer S. at
Woodbine, and Isle of Jura (GB) (New Approach {Ire}), a threetime listed winner in Bahrain this season. Another daughter ofFirth of Lorne, Bint Almatar (Kingmambo), produced G1
Metropolitan S. hero Just Fine (Ire) (Sea The Stars {Ire}).
Firth of Lorne's final foal is the 4-year-old filly Sithchean (Ire)(Dark Angel {Ire}), victorious in her lone trip to the races over
the Chelmsford all-weather in March 2023.

Saturday's 11-race card at Keeneland also prominently
features the GI Jenny Wiley S. Gina Romantica (Into Mischief), a
two-time Grade I winner over the lawn in Lexington, held her
own against the boys finishing a respectable fourth in the
GI Breeders' Cup Mile last time Nov. 4. The 3-1 morning-line
favorite is one of four entered for Chad Brown, who has won
five of the past six runnings of the 1 1/16-mile turf race for fillies
and mares and has six Jenny Wiley victories overall.

Hades | Ryan Thompson

AI always thought he would be better with blinkers, but hekept winning and I couldn=t make the change,@ Orseno said.
AHe=ll have blinkers here; little ones.@
Two other Lexington entrants could be on the Derby bubble
with a victory: Encino (Nyquist) (20 points) and Liberal Arts
(Arrogate) (19 points).
John Battaglia Memorial S. winner Encino, scratched from lastweekend's GI Blue Grass S. in favor of this spot, tries dirt for the
first time for trainer Brad Cox. Last year's GIII Street Sense S.
winner Liberal Arts was an eventful sixth (disqualified andplaced eighth for interference after getting rank on the firstturn) in the GI Arkansas Derby Mar. 30.
The Lexington field of 10 also includes 5-2 morning-line
favorite The Wine Steward (Vino Rosso), who makes his firststart since finishing a very game second in the GI Claiborne
Breeders' Futurity at Keeneland Oct. 7.

Brown will also saddle last term's GI Matriarch S. heroine
Surge Capacity (Flintshire {GB}), MGSW Fluffy Socks (Slumber{GB}) and longshot Beaute Cachee (Fr) (Literato {Fr}). AWith a lotof my good grass fillies, I like to target this and I like the mile anda sixteenth to start,@ Brown said.
The field of 10 also includes: Didia (Arg) (Orpen), a gamewinner of the GII TAA Pegasus World Cup Filly and Mare Turf
Invitational S. at Gulfstream Jan. 27; and the Charlie Applebytrained English Rose (Ire) (Frankel {GB}), who captured theG2 Balanchine S. at Meydan last time Feb. 23.
Wet Paint (Blame), three-for-three against stakes company at
Oaklawn last season, will face off against California invader
Adare Manor (Uncle Mo) in the GI Apple Blossom H. in Hot
Springs. Wet Paint, just up in time in last summer's GI CoachingClub American Oaks at Saratoga, makes her first start sincefinishing eighth in the GI Breeders' Cup Distaff at Santa Anita
Nov. 4. Adare Manor, winner of last summer's GI Clement L.
Hirsch S. at Del Mar, crossed the line one spot better in seventh
at the Championships and kicked off her 5-year-old campaign
for Bob Baffert with a runner-up finish as the favorite in the
GI Beholder Mile S. at Santa Anita Mar. 9.
Saturday's graded action is rounded out by the GIII Count Fleet
H. at Oaklawn and GIII Giant's Causeway S. at Keeneland.

Fierceness | Lauren KingChampion 2-year-old colt, 'TDN Rising Star' and GI Curlin
Florida Derby hero Fierceness (City of Light) returned to action
Friday with his first work following his 13 1/2-length romp in lastmonth's Florida Derby. The Repole Stables-owned runner went
four furlongs in :50.17 (13/22) under regular pilot John
Velazquez with trainer Todd Pletcher looking on.

SATURDAY • APRIL 13, 2024

AHe=s been great since the Florida Derby. His energy level isgood. He=s seemed to take the race really well,@ said Pletcher.
AHe had a nice easy breeze this morning and was moving great.
Really, I couldn=t be happier with him.@
Fierceness will complete his Derby prep at Palm Beach Downs
and Pletcher noted that his training and shipping schedule is still
to be decided.
AHe=ll get his next work here at Palm Beach Downs and thenwe=ll make a decision when to ship to Churchill. We have to be
there at 11.a.m. on the Saturday before, so there=s a goodchance we=ll have our final breeze at Churchill, but I want tokeep the window open if I don=t like the way the weather islooking in Kentucky. Right now, I=m happy we=ve stayed where
we are. We=ve had really great, great weather. It hasn=t been
too hot. The mornings have been nice and cool. We=ve had
minimal rain, just enough to keep the track good. We haven=t
had to battle some of the conditions that are going on in
Kentucky at the moment. We=ll monitor it and call an audible if
we have to.@

BOLT D'ORO COLT FASTEST ON OBS FRIDAY

Hip 787 | Judit Seipert

by Stefanie Grimm
Delayed a day due to severe weather in central Florida, theunder-tack show for the Ocala Breeders' Sales Company's Spring
Sale of 2-Year-Olds in Training got back underway Friday with acolt from the third crop of Spendthrift stallion Bolt d'Oro (hip787) setting the high mark at :9 3/5. Consigned by Top Line
Sales, which continued to be well-represented Friday after
posting five of the top 18 fastest furlong works during
Wednesday's session, the juvenile was purchased as a yearlingby Cash Bloodstock at Keeneland September last year for$90,000. One of three to hit the :9 3/5 mark so far this week, he
is out of a winning Speightstown dam who has produced fivewinners from six to race, led by stakes winner Blame J D (Blame)and stakes-placed $350,000 OBS March grad Golden Nugget(Mendelssohn).

SATURDAY • APRIL 13, 2024

He likes to race at Saratoga, so he tried to pick some that hethought fit that bill.@
After several nice days of breeze-friendly weather, including atail wind down the lane, conditions weren't quite as kind toworkers Friday.
AShe [hip 752] was fortunate enough that she got out there
before the wind got up,@ Dunne said. AI think the track was fair.
We expected her to work well. I think the main difference today
is that we've had the tail wind all week and then it turns aroundand it's in their face, so that was a double whammy.@Hip 752 is the second foal out of the unraced Tanmawwy(Candy Ride {Arg}), a daughter of group-placed Wasseema(Danzig) and a half-sister to stakes-placed Ekhtibaar(Bernardini). This is also the family of French group winner
Funny Kid (Lemon Drop Kid) and MGSW Candy Man Rocket(Candy Ride {Arg}).
The same line of storms that canceled Thursday's under-tackshow dropped north of an inch of rain around the Ocala area,
but Dunne was quick to compliment track conditions even after
the deluge.
AThe track is fine.@ he said. AThat's the great thing about thissurface is that, even after weather like that, it's still usable andit's still safe. The wind was the bigger factor today and she was
lucky to get out there early.@
Sellers, Dunne included, continue to look forward to OBS April
off of a strong and steady March renewal.

New York Going Strong
A registered New York-bred filly (hip 752) by Central Banker
posted one of only two :9 4/5 works Friday. Three Diamond
Farm=s Kirk Wycoff signed the ticket as Bronco Bloodstock when
he went to $32,000 to purchase the filly last year at the FasigTipton Saratoga New York-Bred Yearling Sale. It was one of five
yearling purchases made by Bronco Bloodstock over the two-day
sale. Four of those five yearlings are being resold at OBS April,with two (hip 637 and hip 253) joining hip 752 by working in :9
4/5 earlier in the week. The last of the four (hip 869) is expected
to breeze Saturday. All four hips sell with the Wavertree Stablesconsignment.
AIt's two chances for the price of one,@ said Ciaran Dunne ofWavertree Stables. AKirk Wycoff is in a spot where, if something
happened and he wasn't able to sell, then he's quite happy torace. That's the main appeal of the New York-breds.

Hip 752 | Judit Seipert

AWe're cautiously optimistic,@ said Dunne. AMarch was solid
without being outstanding and, I think as April gets stronger, it
puts more pressure on March. People know there are 1200 hips
more to come, so it's easier to sit back [in March] and say you'll
wait a little. But April is obviously the big one now, so we'vebeen optimistic.@ Cont. p8

OBS Friday Under-Tack Preview cont.
Also working in :9 4/5 Friday was hip 839, a colt by Army Muleout of Waltzing (Candy Ride {Arg}), who is a half-sister to gradedwinner Dancing Solo (Giant=s Causeway) and Grade I-placed
Dancing (Bernardini). The dark bay is consigned by Omar
Ramirez Bloodstock on behalf of Eric Delvalle, who purchased
him for $45,000 at last year=s Keeneland September sale. Also
on behalf of Delvalle, Ramirez sent out a filly by Omaha Beach(hip 308) to work the furlong in :9 3/5 during Monday=s second
session of the under-tack show.
A colt from the first crop of McKinzie (hip 862) was responsible
for Friday=s fastest quarter-mile work, working in :21. Out of a
stakes-winning first dam, the juvenile, consigned by Pick View
LLC, sold for $110,000 at Keeneland last September to Stock

ZEDAN: DERBY BAN BASED ON `PRETEXT,'NOT `HEALTH AND SAFETY'
by T.D. Thornton
Amr Zedan's incorporated racing stable advanced its lawsuit toget Bob Baffert-trained horses un-banned from the GI Kentucky
Derby by telling a Kentucky judge Thursday that the motion todismiss filed by defendant Churchill Downs, Inc. (CDI) "confirmsthat the extension of its ban is based on pretext rather thangenuine, fact-based concerns about health and safety."
Zedan's Apr. 11 legal response in Jefferson Circuit Court
underscored the time-pressing need for a swift judicial response
to Zedan's request for an injunction before the Apr. 27 deadline
for all entered Derby horses to be on the grounds prior to the
May 4 race. The next hearing in the case is Apr. 15.
Zedan articulated concerns that CDI's legal invocation of an
Anti-SLAPP (Strategic Lawsuits Against Public Participation)
statute was "not only meritless, but perverse."
An Anti-SLAPP claims process might take months to legallyunfold, and while it played out there would be a mandatory
halting of all other legal proceedings, including Zedan's pending
motion for the temporary injunction.

Shoot It True (Munnings) became the first Rising Star at the Keeneland Spring Meet with a win in the first race on opening day.

TDN HEADLINE NEWS • PAGE 9 OF 13 • THETDN.COM

Zedan cont.
After Medina Spirit tested positive for betamethasone in the2021 Derby, Baffert was banned from CDI's properties for two
years. A federal judge in February 2023 denied Baffert apreliminary injunction that the Hall-of-Fame trainer had sought
to be eligible to race in the Derby. Last July CDI extended theban at least through 2024.

SATURDAY • APRIL 13, 2024

Zedan's filing later continued: "CDI argues that Zedan suffers
no serious detriment and that CDI gains no unfair advantage
from any inconsistency, but the facts amply refute that. CDI's
bait-and-switch tactics have cost Zedan millions of dollars insunk costs while enabling CDI successfully to defend a two-year
ban against legal challenge, only thereafter to extend the ban
indefinitely."
Baffert is not a party to the lawsuit filed by Zedan.

DIODORO RESURFACES AT LONE STAR PARK

Amr Zedan | Fasig-Tipton

Zedan owns the GI Arkansas Derby winner Muth (GoodMagic), who would be among the Derby favorites if allowed torace.
It is unclear if a ruling in favor of Zedan would allow other
Baffert trainees owned by different entities to also participate in
the Derby, or if any lifting of the ban would also permit Baffert's
trainees to enter the GI Kentucky Oaks.
CDI's Apr. 8 motion to dismiss stated that "The demand for alast-minute judicial takeover of the world's most storied horse
race...is baseless, outrageous and should be immediately
rejected."
Zedan's responded in the Apr. 11 filing: "CDI has given away
the game at the outset. In purporting to uphold the right 'topetition and speak freely on issues of public interest,' CDI has
discredited its sole gripe against Baffert: far from acting on any
substantive concerns about the health or safety of horses, CDI
admits its extended ban is based only on its dissatisfaction withBaffert supposedly 'pedd[ling] a false narrative,' i.e., utteringwords, in public interviews, that displease CDI."
In a different section of the filing, Zedan stated, "Observers tothis point might have thought that CDI stands behind its ban-and
CDI's professed concerns about an actual threat to 'integrity' and'safety'-as reflecting hard, objective facts that CDI has diligently
verified. But observers now know better. CDI has admitted tothis Court that its banning of an all-time-great horse trainer was
and is just a matter of CDI's casual, subjective opinion!"by Bill Finley
High-profile trainer Robertino Diodoro, who is serving aprovisional suspension from the Horseracing Integrity andWelfare Unit (HIWU) after the banned substance levothyroxine
was found in his barn at Oaklawn Park, has entered a horse for
the April 18 card at Lone Star Park. On opening night, he hasentered Master of Disguise (Mastery) in a maiden special
weight race with a purse of $33,000.
Diodoro is eligible to race in Texas because the Horseracing
Integrity and Safety Authority (HISA) does not have jurisdictionin that state.
Diodoro did not return a phone call from the TDN, but it
appears that he will be busy at the Lone Star meet, whichconcludes on July 14. Diodoro has been allotted 50 stalls, whichappears to be the maximum amount allowed by the track=s
racing department. He has not started a horse since April 3 at
Turf Paradise. He was able to run in Arizona after his suspension
was announced because the horses had been entered before
Diodoro was notified of the violation
Cont. p10

Diodoro cont.
Diodoro was provisionally suspended by HIWU on March 29.
Though he has been summarily suspended the case must still be
reviewed by HIWU's Internal Adjunction Panel. Diodoro also has
the option of trying to contest the suspension in court.
Levothyroxine is a thyroid medication. According to the
National Library of Medicine the use of thyroid hormones for
doping to enhance performance in human sports has long been
controversial. There have been claims of abuse of these drugs,
but they have not been prohibited by the World Anti-Doping
Agency.
The Texas Racing Commission interpreted its state racing rules
and concluded that only the racing commission can legally
oversee racing in the state and therefore would not allow HISA
to come into Texas. Because they are not under HISA=sjurisdiction, Lone Star Park and Sam Houston cannot send theirsimulcast signal out of state.
Diodoro was the leading trainer in 2023 at Oaklawn Park and iscurrently still in second place in this year's Oaklawn standings.
Training since 1995, Diodoro has 3,184 career wins and awinning rate of 21 percent.
A similar scenario is playing out in Louisiana, where trainer
Jonathan Wong has begun racing. Wong received a two-year
suspension from HIWU after he had a horse test positive for
Metformin, a drug that is commonly used by humans to combat
type 2 diabetes. Like Texas, Louisiana racing is not under HISA=s
control. Wong has started eight horses in Louisiana with nowinners. He has four horses entered at Evangeline Downs next
week and another Saturday night.

PROMINENT OWNER-BREEDER MARTYWYGOD PASSES AGED 84 By Dan Ross
After a long lifetime marked by notable wins on the racetrack
and in the business world, prominent owner-breeder,
entrepreneur and philanthropist Marty Wygod has passed away
aged 84.
"I have so many good memories of Marty Wygod. I was telling
Emily [Bushnell, Wygod's daughter] this morning, one of myfavorite things about Marty was he had a great sense of humor,"said trainer John Shirreffs, who conditioned some of Wygod's
heaviest hitters on the track.
Wygod, said Shirreffs, was also something of a prankster.
"The first time I met him at the barn, he was standing in frontof this horse, and he's studying it very carefully. I remember
thinking to myself, 'I wonder what he's doing,'" recalled
Shirreffs.

SATURDAY • APRIL 13, 2024

"He then leaves the horse and he walks down to me, and hesays, 'John, that horse has a headache.' I didn't know what tothink--that's Marty Wygod. He told me the horse had aheadache. I'm not going to question that!" said Shirreffs. "Fromthat moment on, we had a really good relationship."The hub of Wygod's breeding empire-which he owned andoperated with his wife, Pamela-was the 250-acre River Edge
Farm, in California's Santa Ynez Valley, close to Santa Barbara.
There, they stood several successful stallions, like Bertrando,
Tribal Rule, Benchmark and Dixie Chatter. But it's the many
talented performers Wygod bred, owned and co-owned that
he's arguably best remembered for in the racing world.
The Wygods bred Life is Sweet (Storm Cat), a two-time Grade I
winner who took the 2009 GI Breeders' Cup Ladies Classic.
Sweet Catomine (Storm Cat) won the 2004 GI Breeders' Cup
Juvenile Fillies. Tranquility Lake (Rahy) was a seven-time gradedstakes and dual Grade I winner and went on to produce a $9.7million Keeneland September sales-topper. Idiot Proof(Benchmark) claimed the 2007 GI Ancient Title S. at Santa Anita
and was runner-up in that year's GI Breeders' Cup Sprint.
In 2010, Harmonious (Dynaformer) took two G1 scalps: theAmerican Oaks at Hollywood Park and the Queen Elizabeth II
Challenge Cup S. at Keeneland.
"Harmonious wins the Queen Elizabeth and Marty and I are
the two out of towners. We go up to the director's room for acelebratory drink, and I think we were off standing by ourselvesin the corner after that!" said Shirreffs, who trained both Life is
Sweet and Harmonious, among several Wygod-owned
luminaries, remembering that win as one of their sweetest.

The Wygods' latest work of art is the Kentucky Derby-bound
GII Wood Memorial S. winner Resilience (Into Mischief),
co-owned by Bushnell.
"That has been one of the best things for him these past few
years--he was very excited about that," said jock's agent, Tom
Knust, who struck up a firm friendship with Wygod stemmingfrom his days as Del Mar and Santa Anita racing secretary.
Over the years, Wygod's list of trainers included Julio Canani,
Dan Hendricks, John Sadler, Clifford Sise and Bill Mott.
Wygod sat on or was involved with several prominent racingboards, including the Del Mar Thoroughbred Club, as a trusteeof the Thoroughbred Owners and Breeders Association and as amember of The Jockey Club.

"Anybody in the horseracing industry that had any medical
problems, he was right there to help them. It didn't matter if
you were a groom or a hotwalker," said Knust, who credits
Wygod for twice saving his wife's life, connecting her withmuch-needed medical advice and help.
Like Shirreffs, Knust remembers a man with a wicked sense ofhumor.
"About 10 years ago, Marty brought a really good 3-year-old
into Del Mar. He was by a $300,000 stallion out of his bestmare," Knust remembered. "He said, 'Tom, I'm giving you ashare of this horse, it'll be your retirement. I just want you tocall Pam, tell her that I'm giving you a share in this horse, and to
figure out the paperwork.'"
When Knust called Pamela Wygod, he said she seemed a little
confused, but assured Knust that she would straighten it out
with her husband.
"I just kind of felt strange about something," said Knust. "So, I
went and looked up the papers and it was a gelding. That was
Marty's sense of humor. He had a great sense of humor."
Said Shirreffs: "He was just a great guy. We was a fantastic
individual. A brilliant man. A great horseman. He was something
special to be around."Aside from his daughter Emily and wife Pamela, Wygod leaves
behind his son Max.

DR. IRA PAUL MERSACK, FORMER OWNER

Marty Wygod | Benoit

AMarty=s inclusion on our board proved to be a blessing over
and over again,@ said DMTC=s longtime CEO Joe Harper. AHis
insights and feel for both the world of business and our racing
game helped us repeatedly make the kind of good decisions thathave seen us rise to the top of the national racing community.
We will dearly miss him.@
As a businessman, Wygod's fortunes were forged throughvarious successful companies, perhaps most notably WebMD, awidely used online repository for medical news and information,
through which he rose to the position of chairman.
"He'd come to the barn at Del Mar because he lived at Rancho
Santa Fe, and he'd sit on a chair at the front of the office andconduct his business over the telephone," said Shirreffs.
"It was kind of a thrill for me to sit next to him and listen tohim on the phone talking to whoever he was talking to about his
business. He was such a logical person who appreciated all sidesof every conflict or interest," said Shirreffs.

Dr. Ira Paul Mersack, the former co-owner of Margaux Farm,died on Apr. 10, according to an obituary posted by the Milward
Funeral Home in Lexington, Kentucky. He was 83 years old.
Born in Brooklyn, New York, he grew up in Philadelphia,
received a Bachelor of Science Degree from Marietta College,
and his medical degree from the University of Kentucky. He
served as a major in the U.S. Army during the Vietnam War. He
practiced dermatology in Lexington for more than 40 years, firstjoining Dr. Ullin Leavell's practice, then growing the practice andestablishing Dermatology Associates of Kentucky. He co-owned
Margaux Farm and shared his love of horses and racing with hisfamily.
He was preceded in death by his wife of 46 years, Anita
Weinberger Mersack and his sister, Arlene Langman. He issurvived by his brother, Alan Mersack, his three children; BethBrody (Raymond); Rebecca (Joe) Young; Melinda Mersack (Mark
Jacobs), and his grandchildren Ethan Brody, Jacob Young, Max
Young, Isaiah Jacobs, Eli Jacobs, Camille Brody and Kiva Jacobs.

BREEDERS' CUP MILE CHAMP WAR CHANTPASSES AWAY IN AUSTRALIASATURDAY • APRIL 13, 2024

War Chant at Three Chimneys Farm in 2010 | Sarah Andrew

War Chant (Danzig), the winner of the 2000 GI Breeders' Cup
Mile at Churchill Downs, passed away on Thursday, Apr. 11.
Housed at Yarradale Stud in Western Australia, the 27-year-old
stallion succumbed to old age at the Gidgegannup nursery that
he had called home for over a decade, the breeder said in a
Thursday release.
War Chant was bred and raced by Marge and Irving Cowan,
and trained by Neil Drysdale. Out of MGISW Hollywood Wildcat(Kris S.), the homebred finished ninth in the GI Kentucky Derby
and ended his racing career with a win later that year in the
Breeders' Cup Mile. In seven starts he amassed earnings of$1,130,600.
Beginning his stud duties at Robert Clay=s Three Chimneys
Farm in Kentucky in 2001, War Chant performed shuttle duty on
occasion to Chile and Western Australia. In 2011, after
prolonged negotiations, the late Ron Sayers managed to secure
the Southern-hemisphere breeding rights for War Chant for the
next three years.
Three years later, the sire relocated permanently to Western
Australia following the breeding season. He was responsible for
46 stakes winners world-wide with 12 of those based down
under.
The stallion was regularly used to educate young staff in thebreeding barn. His professional manner while covering mares
meant that he was the perfect teacher for the younger staff who
were keen to perfect their handling skills.
AHe had the three Ps--Performance, Pedigree and Physique,@said Davy Hanratty, Yarradale's Stud Manager. AHis movie stargood looks hit you first. He was a quirky devil at times but taught
me to be a better horseman. We are very lucky he has built aterrific reputation as a broodmare sire, and rest assured, weLight Up Racing event | Photos by Z

On April 22-23 Light Up Racing will launch its Media & Content
Cohort Training Program in Lexington, Kentucky, which aims to
improve the narrative of horse racing and empowerchangemakers by teaching skills to better promote the sport,
the organization said in a release Friday.
Light Up Racing is assembling approximately 20 individuals
from every aspect of the horse racing industry, across all
demographics, united by their passion for positive change overtwo days of training.
"Our goal is to empower each participant with the confidence
to share their stories and perspectives in horse racing," said
Vicky Leonard of Kick Collective. "We believe that by building
these skills and generating confidence, we can collectively start
shifting how the sport is perceived and talked about."
The days are planned to equip a diverse group of participants
with the tools they need to make an impact. While the first
focuses on personal branding, leveraging social media andconfidence in media interview techniques, day two advances
into content creation and strategies for maximizing
engagement.
"By the end of this program, participants will not just haveskills; they'll have the confidence to use their voices andshowcase the industry from their perspective," Leonard said.
"They=ll also have a community supporting their journey.@Cont. p13

This training marks the beginning of a larger movement
towards a more open and forward-thinking horse racing
community, sharing the positive elements to the wider public.
"When an industry isn=t talking, people assume it has
something to hide,@ added Leonard. AThe antidote to fixing theperception and trust issues is by opening the door and inviting
people in--both in person and online. Your voice matters, andtogether, we have the power to redefine the narrative," said
Leonard.
Additional training will soon be announced across the country,
reflecting Light Up Racing's commitment to fostering anationwide community of empowered racing advocates.
AThese two days will empower the Kentucky cohort to go out
into the community, both in person and online, to engage infact-based, transparent dialogue about horse racing during a
crucial time on our calendar,@ said board member Christina
Blacker. AWe need to share the good stories and we must stop
uninformed opinions from driving the narrative of our sport. I
look forward to participating in the training myself when it
comes to California.@

JUST BETTER (f, 3, Justify--Betterbetterbetter {Ire} {GSP-Ire,
SP-Eng}, by Galileo {Ire}) debuted as the runner-up in an offthe-turf race at Fair Grounds in late January, then broke hermaiden by a neck over the grass in New Orleans Feb. 24. The 6-5

SUNCROFT (c, 4, Arrogate--Princess Karen {SW & GSP,
$176,039}, by Stay Thirsty), an 8 1/2-length winner Dec. 23 on
unveiling at Turfway Park and second over that track in his
seasonal bow Feb. 23, took advantage of the frontrunning bias
at Keeneland here to pick up his second career victory. Sent off
at 7-1, he was pushed to the lead and had pressure down thebackstretch as well as through the turn. Dispatching his
company, he had built up a margin which proved just enough tohold off the late charge of GSP Classic Legacy (Into Mischief).
Suncroft has an unplaced half-brother Canada Gate
(Constitution) as well as a 2-year-old half-brother Dragon Prince(Not This Time) and a yearling half-brother also by Constitution.

SUBROGATE (c, 4, Arrogate--Goose Lemon Drop, by Elusive

Belmont May 6, and his connections stretched him out to thePegasus S. that June at Monmouth Park. Fading to fourth there
and against allowance optional claiming company July 22, hewent on an extended layoff after that effort. Back here with
first-time Lasix, the mud wasn=t a problem as the 4-1 chance
employed a stalk-and-pounce trip to hold off a rally from RadioRed (The Big Beast) by a head on the line. Subrogate has a 2year-old half-sister Swan House (Hard Spun) as well as a yearlinghalf-brother by Silver State.

Starting his 2024 season going even longer Feb. 18 over afast track and trip and with first-time Lasix, he graduated fromthe maiden ranks by 4 1/2 lengths. Back here on a sloppy track
for this jump, the 7-2 prospect went straight to the front andshowed the way through :24.21 and :47.54 early fractions.
Cruising from that position, he=d built up a 3 1/2-length margin
entering the stretch and was able to hold Corporate Power(Curlin)=s final charge by a comfortable 1 1/4 lengths. A halfbrother to Drake's Passage (Tonalist), SW, $271,480, Unique

THE BOUGHEY JUVENILES:'BREEZE-UPS ARE A BIGPART OF OUR SYSTEM=

George Boughey | Tattersalls

It was two years ago this week that Cachet (Ire) won the G3
Nell Gwyn S. at Newmarket's Craven Meeting, setting her on thepath to Classic glory for trainer George Boughey, who enjoyed
the biggest success of his burgeoning career so far when thedaughter of Aclaim (Ire) returned to the Rowley Mile to win theG1 1,000 Guineas less than three weeks later.
That was a maiden victory at the top level for Boughey, whowasted no time doubling his tally in 2023 when Via Sistina (Ire)(Fastnet Rock {Aus}) won the G1 Pretty Polly S. at the Curragh,before going on to suffer narrow defeats in both the G1 Prix
Jean Romanet at Deauville and G1 Champion S. at Ascot. Cont. p2

BHUPAT SEEMAR=S ZABEEL STABLES TO
RELOCATE TO MEYDAN
Dubai World Cup-winning trainer Bhupat Seemar is set torelocate his hugely successful Zabeel Stables to a new location at
Meydan.
Seemar landed the $12- million G1 Dubai World Cup with the
Juddmonte-owned Laurel River (Into Mischief), a victory thatcrowned a memorable season for the trainer given he landed asecond UAE trainers' championship title.
However, pastures new beckon for Seemar, who explainedthat his large string will be better suited to the new facility.
"To leave Zabeel with a Dubai World Cup as well as both thetrainers' and jockeys' championship was the crowning glory,"
the trainer told The National newspaper.
"It was a good send-off and it was beautiful. I have spent 21
memorable years [there] but life has to move on. They are still
putting in everything that we've had in Zabeel. So, there's a lotof work going on there.
"It's going to be a wonderful facility. Green Stable is thebiggest stable at Meydan. We have a large number of horses
and that's the most suitable stable. I'm thankful they've offeredthis to us."

Via Sistina was formerly a Boughey trainee | Scoop Dyga

George Boughey Juveniles Cont. from p1
Boughey will be without the services of Via Sistina in 2024--sherecently won the G1 Ranvet S. at Rosehill on her first start inAustralia for Chris Waller, having been bought for 2.7 million gns
at the Tattersalls December Mares Sale--but the team at Saffron
House Stables still has plenty to get excited about as the Craven
Meeting looms, the first big staging post of the season as
Boughey looks to build on the success of the last two years.
Considering the heights he's reached since saddling his firstrunners in July 2019, Boughey said, "I think getting to 100
winners is something I'd dreamt of doing and to have done it thelast two years is a credit to everyone who has worked hard to
get us there. It's hard to do and it's around-the-clock racing.
"We had fewer winners than the year before, but we had
fewer runners," he added of his 2023 campaign. "I think with
the quality of our horses increasing, they don't take as muchracing. Via Sistina was the star of the show and she wasprobably unlucky not to win one or two more Group 1s than she
won. Finding horses at that level is what it's all about and we'll
be doing our best to find another this year."
When Boughey saddled a personal-best tally of 136 winners in
Britain in 2022, no fewer than 51 of those wins were in
two-year-old races. He sent out 27 juvenile winners last year in
Britain and, according to Boughey, that was in part due to achange in buying philosophy which means he now has morehorses who are unlikely to come into their own until well into
their three-year-old careers.
"Last year we had more late-maturing horses," he explained.
"We had a few three-year-old maiden winners in January,
winning over a mile and that sort of thing. I'll never change
totally. I like having some sharper horses and we have a few
sharper ones this year.
"We lacked that sharper horse last year but, in turn, the milers

SATURDAY • 13 APRIL 2024

and the 10-furlong horses are the horses that we really want tobe training. I'm pretty happy with how it's going and how it's
evolving each year."
Chic Colombine (Fr) (Seahenge) was in the minority when
winning a pair of nurseries for Boughey last year, while her
recent Listed victory at Saint-Cloud identifies her as one of themost exciting three-year-olds in his care this season. As for thejuveniles, Boughey expects to add to his already significant teamat the upcoming breeze-up sales, including at the Craven where
Cachet was picked up for just 60,000gns in 2021.
"The breeze-ups are a big part of our system," said Boughey. "I
think we've had five stakes winners from the breeze-up sales
and I try to buy horses at every sale. For me it's all about
recycling, when they're not good enough, and keeping the ballrolling.
"I love the breeze-ups and I find it an intellectual challenge as
much as anything. You have to try and work out what theprevious trainer has effectively done. We've never had thebudget to buy the really fast, swanky breezers, but the horsesthat we've found in the middle of the road, the sort of working
man's breezers, have been fun horses on the track.
"They might not be superstars, all of them, but I think webought a handful of breezers last year and most of them won."

Owner: Edward Ware
Comment: "He's a nice horse who ran with credit on his debut at
Chelmsford. He's a hard-knocking two-year-old and I hope he'll
be winning his maiden before long. He's going to want fast
ground and he'll be better on turf." Cont. p4

Bought by George Boughey Racing/Michael Roy for 135,000gns
from Evergreen Stud at Tattersalls Book 2
Mrs Susan Roy"He's a precocious horse owned by Mrs Susan Roy and abrother to Salvuccio who they also raced. He's shown up well inthe spring. He went a little bit weak and we've just given him ashort break, but he's back training away. He's a more substantial
horse than his brother and he cost a little bit more. It would be
no surprise to see him in a late-April/early-May novice and he's
been showing a bit of pace."
Edge Ofthe Unknown
Quality Road colt out of Nefertiti (Ire) (Galileo {Ire})
Niarchos Family"He's a nice horse but very much one for the backend. He's

over anything shorter than seven furlongs on debut. He won't
be starting until the autumn, I'd imagine."

New Bay (Ire) colt out of Sar Oiche (Ire) (Teofilo {Ire})
Bought by Shadwell Estate Company for 210,000gns from

Shadwell Estate Company"He's a nice horse who is yet to gallop but has been showing
up nicely. He's got a good outlook and he's probably going towant a bit of give in the ground. He's progressing nicely and he's
not far off galloping. I'm going to give him a chance to be asummer horse, but I've no doubt that he'll improve as the year
goes on and into his three-year-old career."

Celeborn (GB)
Postponed (Ire) colt out of Galadriel (GB) (Dutch Art {GB})Sheikh Mohammed Obaid Al Maktoum"He's another homebred for Sheikh Mohammed Obaid. He's anice horse out of a Dutch Art mare and he's training away nicely
at the moment. He's quite some way from doing his first pieceof work and I wouldn't expect to see him on the track until laterin the summer or into the autumn. He's a horse who is going to
improve when he gets over a bit of ground, but he's astraightforward colt with a nice attitude to his work."

Bought by Arthur Hoyeau (Agent for Windfield Colts
Partnership) for 45,000gns from Galbertstown Stables at

Windfield Partners 1"I thought he'd run a little bit better at Wolverhampton. He's anice horse and he probably wants six furlongs on turf. He might
wait for six but, if there's the right opportunity, then you mightsee him again over five. He was greener than I thought he'd be
on debut. He was just on the back foot a little bit from theget-go and when he really had to quicken it just came a bit
unnaturally to him and he had a bit of a wobble. He'd probably
been finding his work a bit easy at home. I hope to see a
different horse next time--he's better than he showed." Cont. p5

worked or anything. He's just training away nicely and he's got areally nice outlook. I'm sure he's going to be a miler or possibly a
10-furlong horse next year, but those nicer milers often do start
popping their heads up before Royal Ascot. He's a very long way
from an Ascot horse, but he's going the right way at the moment

He's going to appreciate six or seven furlongs, I'd imagine. He's

not ready to run yet, but he's shown enough to suggest he canbe fun through the summer. His brother Crispy Cat was ownedby Amo Racing as well and he seemed to have a super attitude

has just taken a bit more time than I thought he would, but his
brother by Inns Of Court didn't run until the turn of the year, so
I'm not in any rush with him. He's a good-looking animal."Cont. p7

surprised if he's not winning at two. He's a likeable horse. I don't

WOOTTON BASSETT=S GALA REAL POWERS
TO TDN RISING STARDOM AT SAINT-CLOUD

SATURDAY • 13 APRIL 2024

The 73-10 chance, who had previously finished last of sevenrunners in her July 16 debut over seven furlongs at Chantilly,
employed patient tactics from flagfall in this 10 1/2-furlong
distaffers= test and settled off the tempo in sixth for the mostpart. Inching closer on the home turn, the daughter of Cala
Violina (Fr) (Lope De Vega {Ire}) cruised to the front on thebridle passing the quarter-mile marker and was not for catching
thereafter, lengthening clear under minimal urging inside thefinal 300 metres to easily outclass Wootton Zi (Fr) (Wootton

the sixth Rising Star for Wootton Bassett, whose existing quintet

AI was devastated when she lost first time out, but she wonvery well on her second start and I am not surprised she won soeasily today,@ admitted trainer Alessandro Botti. AShe enjoyed agood winter, she worked with [Christophe] Soumillon and hesaid she sent him great vibes. The idea, and it was already thecase before she ran today, is to have her at her best for the[June 16 G1] Prix de Diane [at Chantilly] and we will try to find arace for her between now and then.@Cont. p11
