SPIRIT'S DERBY DQ UPHELD AT
IN HISTORIC SHOWDOWN, MEDINAKHRC LEVEL, RIPENING CASE FOR COURTSTARS COLLIDE IN TRAVERS CHALLENGE by T.D. Thornton

Mage | Sarah Andrew
by Mike KaneSARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. B With the three winners of the
Triple Crown races gathered for just the fourth time in the GI
Travers S. Saturday, will history repeat itself? Will a horse that
did not run in the GI Kentucky Derby, GI Preakness S. or the GI
Belmont S. deliver an upset in the 154th Travers?
That is how it played out in 1918 with Sun Briar, again in 1982
with Runaway Groom and six years ago when West Coast won
the 2017 running of Saratoga's oldest stakes race.
If the historical form stretching over 100 years holds, Scotland(Good Magic) will prevail. The LNJ Foxwoods homebred is the
only one of the seven horses entered Tuesday that did not startin any of the Triple Crown races.
Kentucky Derby winner Mage (Good Magic) is in the Travers
field, as is Preakness winner National Treasure (Quality Road)
and Belmont hero Arcangelo (Arrogate). So, too, is Forte(Violence), the 2-year-old champion, who was the favorite in the
Derby, but was a vet scratch the morning of the race. He
finished second in the Belmont and prepped for the 1 1/4 miles
Travers with a nose victory in the GII Jim Dandy S. on July 29.
Also taking aim at the $1.25-million Travers purse are Disarm(Gun Runner) and Tapit Trice (Tapit).

The Kentucky Horse Racing Commission (KHRC) on Tuesday
closed the 27-month regulatory saga involving Medina Spirit's GI
Kentucky Derby drug disqualification by unanimously voting todeny appeals by trainer Bob Baffert and owner Zedan Racing
Stables while accepting a hearing officer's recommended orderthat the penalties originally imposed by the Churchill Downs
stewards be affirmed in their entirety.
But the legal battle to restore Medina Spirit's win in America's
most historic and important horse race appears to be just now
ramping up.
That's because now that the KHRC's decision is final at thestate administrative level, it is ripe for being elevated to thecourt system and challenged by the losing parties.
Medina Spirit crossed the wire first in the 2021 Derby but
subsequently tested positive for betamethasone in a KHRC
post-race drug screening. Cont. p7

From the rail out, the complete field for the Travers S. withmorning-line odds:
1-Forte (Violence) (7-5)
2-Arcengelo (Arrogate) (5-2)
3-Tapit Trice (Tapit) (12-1)
4-Mage (Good Magic) (4-1)
5-National Treasure (Quality Road) (8-1)
6-Disarm (Gun Runner) 6-1
7-Scotland (Good Magic) 12-1
All starters will carry 126 pounds.
Jockey Javier Castellano rode Mage in the Derby and Arcangelo
in the Belmont. Luis Saez will take over on Mage and Jose Ortiz
will be up on Tapit Trice.
Jena Antonucci became the first woman to train the winner of
a Triple Crown race when Arcangelo beat Forte by 1 1/2 lengths
in the Belmont. If Arcangelo extends his winning streak to four in
his first race since the June 10 Belmont, Antonucci would join
trailblazer Mary Hirsch, who saddled 1938 winner Thanksgiving,in the Travers record book. Arcangelo will be Antonucci's first
Travers runner.
"Having the opportunity to be able to participate in theseraces is obviously a blessing in itself," she said. "It's a really coolfield. As a race fan myself, to see what is coming together is

pretty neat. Obviously, Forte being in the mix, as well, I don't
think he can be ignored in the mentions. It makes for a great dayof racing, and a great talking topic for fans and others alike.
Those are things that our sport continues to need to see
happen."In May 2022 at Belmont, Forte lived up to the buzz with a 7
3/4-length maiden victory at 1-5. He was fourth as the favorite
in the GIII Sanford S., but romped in the slop to win the GI

TDN HEADLINE NEWS • PAGE 4 OF 15 • THETDN.COM

Todd Pletcher | Sarah Andrew
Hopeful S. Earlier this year, Forte was disqualified from the
Hopeful win for a post-race drug positive, a decision that isbeing appealed.
Forte wrapped up the divisional title with wins in the GI
Breeders' Futurity and the GI Breeders' Cup Juvenile. He opened
his 3-year-old season with a victory in the GII Fountain of YouthS. and then rallied in the stretch of the GI Florida Derby to beatMage. On the morning of the Derby, he was scratched when aveterinarian had concerns about a bruised right front foot.
Arcangelo topped him in the Belmont, his first start in 2 1/2
months.
Trainer Todd Pletcher elected to keep Forte at Saratoga andprep in the Jim Dandy. That narrow victory over Saudi Crown(Always Dreaming) was in question immediately after the race
as stewards decided whether Forte should be DQ'd for bumping
Angel of Empire (Classic Empire) while looking for running room
entering the stretch. The order of finish was not changed.
With its stature, the Travers is a prize every year, but it isespecially important this year for Forte and his connections.
"It's a game of ups and downs," said Mike Repole, who
co-owns the colt with St. Elias Stable. "You had the Derby
scratch and second in the Belmont. He won the Florida Derby.
He won the Jim Dandy. He'll be the favorite in the Travers. And
he's the 2-year-old champ. It would be real, real special,
especially for him because now he's in the race. The Derby
winner is in it. The Preakness winner is going to be in it. So is the
Belmont winner. And the 2-year-old champion. Four champs.
Real exciting."
Pletcher said a Travers score would be satisfying in what has
been a trying season.
"You're never going to make up for not getting to run in the
Kentucky Derby," he said, "but it would be, I suppose, some sort

of consolation prize if we were able to win the Travers against
the three classic winners."
In 1918, the French-bred Sun Briar became the first horse todefeat the Triple Crown winners in the Travers. Sun Briar, a huge
success as a 2-year-old, was withdrawn from the Derby entries
when his trainer Henry McDaniel thought he was training
sluggishly. In his place, owner Willis Sharpe Kilmer ran thegelding, Exterminator, who had been purchased as Sun Briar's
work mate. Exterminator won by a length at 29-1.
Four days after the Derby, War Cloud, who was fourth as thefavorite, won a division of the Preakness. Johren had skipped
the Derby and finished fourth behind War Cloud in thePreakness then won the Belmont, two lengths ahead of War
Cloud. Sun Briar was back in form in the summer and ready for
the Travers. He battled Harry Payne Whitney's Johren throughthe stretch and won by a head to establish the Travers theme.
By the time the 1982 Travers was run on Aug. 21, the Triple
Crown series had become a high-profile sporting event. Gato Del
Sol won the Derby, but went back to California and did not try
the Preakness, which was won by a new shooter, Aloma's Ruler.
Trainer Eddie Gregson brought Gato Del Sol to the Belmont,
where he was second, beaten 14 lengths by Conquistador Cielo,
the Met Mile winner the previous Monday. Aloma's Ruler was
ninth.

Always Dreaming, Cloud Computing & Tapwrit | Sarah Andrew
The Saratoga infield was open to spectators for the Travers
and the crowd of 41,839--second-largest in track history--saw
the Canadian-bred Runaway Groom come from far back to beatAloma's Ruler by three-quarters of a length. Conquistador Cielo
was rank and could not be controlled by jockey Eddie Maple andraced head to head with Aloma's Ruler from the start. Runaway
Groom, the winner of two-thirds of Canada's Triple Crown thatsummer, pounced on the pair in the stretch. He paid $27.80.

West Coast leads Always Dreaming, Cloud Computing and
Tapwrit in the Travers | Sarah Andrew
The third edition of the Triple Crown showdown in the Travers
featured Derby winner Always Dreaming (Bodemeister),Preakness victor Cloud Computing (Maclean's Music) and theBelmont standout Tapwrit (Tapit). Trainer Bob Baffert sentlate-developing West Coast (Flatter) in from Del Mar and Mike
Smith rode him to a gate-to-wire victory at 6-1. Tapwrit moved
toward contention on the second turn, tired and ended up

WEDNESDAY • AUGUST 23, 2023

fourth. Cloud Computing finished eighth and Always Dreaming
was ninth. West Coast captured the 3-year-old malechampionship.
Mage went on to Baltimore after the Derby and finished third
in the Preakness. Trainer Gustalvo Delgado gave him a breakand started preparing him for a summer campaign with theTravers as the target. He returned to competition on July 22
with a second in the GI Haskell S. at Monmouth Park. He
shipped to Saratoga two days later and has worked three times
over the main track. Assistant trainer Gustalvo Delgado Jr. said
the colt was thriving and that the connections feel he will be at
his best after having a month to settle in.
"He's liking it a lot," Delgado Jr. said. "He loves Saratoga."
Scotland advanced to the Travers from a front-running 3
1/2-length win in the Curlin S. on July 21. He is handled by Hallof Fame trainer Bill Mott, who has won most of the Saratoga
stakes at least once, but he has yet to capture the Travers in 11
tries.
Baffert is seeking his fourth Travers win with National
Treasure, who has not raced since he was sixth after setting thepace in the Belmont. He will race without blinkers.
After running fourth in the Kentucky Derby in a troubled trip,
Disarm won the GIII Matt Winn S. and was fourth in the Jim
Dandy. Hall of Fame trainer Steve Asmussen is putting blinkers

TDN HEADLINE NEWS • PAGE 7 OF 15 • THETDN.COM

on Disarm for the first time in a race.
Pletcher ran Forte in blinkers in the Jim Dandy and has madethat equipment change for his other Travers horse, Tapit Trice.
He galloped the horse with blinkers last week and had them on
again for a breeze Saturday morning. Pletcher is hoping theblinkers will get Tapit Trice into a competitive position in therace. He felt that Forte lost focus at times in the Florida Derby
and the Belmont, but has liked what he saw in the Jim Dandy
and in training. He knows that Forte is game.
"You could see it in, well, almost all of his wins, but particularlyin the Florida Derby," Pletcher said. "He seemed to salvage
victory from what looked like a sure defeat coming by me at theeighth pole, to accelerate like you did and make up that muchground on the eventual Derby winner. I was proud of him in the
Belmont. He was taking all the worst of it got a bit of a wide triparound the turn, coming off a 10-week layoff and still gaining on
the winner at the end. In the Jim Dandy had a lot to do with asixteenth of a mile to go. He's got that personality that he wants
to wants to get there first."" " "WEDNESDAY • AUGUST 23, 2023

Medina Spirit Derby DQ cont. from p1
The Aug. 22, 2023, final order denying the appeals on behalf of
Baffert and Medina Spirit's owner, Amr Zedan, officially elevates
Mandaloun as the official winner of the 147th Derby.
Not only does the denial of the appeals uphold Medina Spirit's
DQ, it lets stand the 90-day KHRC suspension that Baffert
already served in 2022 but wanted expunged from his record.
Also upheld was the $7,500 fine the KHRC imposed upon
Baffert.
Baffert did not respond to TDN's request for comment prior to
deadline for this story.
But the Hall-of-Fame trainer's attorney, W. Craig Robertson III,
said he will soon be outlining next-step legal strategies withBaffert.
"It's disappointing that the KHRC engaged in no analysis
whatsoever of the Hearing Officer's Findings of Fact orConclusions of Law," Robertson wrote in an email. "Neither did
the KHRC's Order address any of the many objections we raised
to the Hearing Officer's ruling.
"Instead, the KHRC did what it does best--rubber stamped its
own foregone conclusion. I will discuss with Mr. Baffert, but
believe it is highly likely the matter is appealed so that it can
finally be presented to an impartial Court," Robertson wrote.
Eight days after the 2021 Derby, Baffert first disclosed theTDN HEADLINE NEWS • PAGE 8 OF 15 • THETDN.COM

betamethasone positive at a press conference outside the barn
where Medina Spirit was stabled at Churchill Downs. In doing so,
he was getting out in front of the official announcement thatwould come later by the KHRC.
In Kentucky, betamethasone is classified as a Class C drug (onan A-through-D scale with A being the most severe). It is
prohibited in any amount in a post-race test.
At first, on May 9, 2021, Baffert chose to implicate various
non-specific circumstances as the underlying culprit in thepositive test. Two days later, on May 11, Baffert's legal teamissued a press release stating that Medina Spirit was treatedwith the betamethasone-containing ointment Otomax as late as
the day before his Derby win to help deal with a skin lesion.
Baffert and Zedan's lawyers would eventually build more than
two years of court cases and administrative appeals around thecontention that the betamethasone that showed up in Medina
Spirit's post-race positive test was the type that came from apermissible topical ointment and not via some other restrictedmeans, like an intra-articular injection.
The Twitter account for Zedan Racing posted a statement on
Tuesday that underscored that this method-of-delivery
argument would continue to be a central plank in any future
court case.
"Today's decision by the KHRC finding the use of a commonlyused topical ointment to be a medication rule violation relating
to Kentucky Derby winner Medina Spirit was expected. We now
look forward to a court's review and legal analysis of the express
rules and basic constitutional principles involved. We genuinely
believe that the wisdom and guidance that a court can provide
will bring clarity benefitting all industry partners and particularly
trainers and veterinarians."
Although no KHRC ruling was issued in the first nine months
after Medina Spirit's positive finding, the gaming corporation
Churchill Downs, Inc. (CDI), in June 2021 barred Baffert fromcompeting at its portfolio of tracks for two years.
Medina Spirit died on Dec. 6, 2021, collapsing to the track afterworking five furlongs at Santa Anita Park. A necropsy conductedby the California Horse Racing Board stated that a "definitive
cause of death was not established despite extensive testing."
In 2022, Baffert initiated a federal lawsuit that challenged
CDI's ban. The case dragged into 2023, when it was dismissed.
The KHRC finally held its hearing on Medina Spirit's positive
test on Feb. 14, 2022, and issued the rulings against Baffert and
Zedan a week later.
When stay requests pending appeals filed with the KHRC weredenied, Baffert and Zedan took the matter to court, with the
KHRC case unfolding around the same time as Baffert's
unsuccessful lawsuit against CDI.
In the spring of 2022 Baffert failed to get an injunction against

WEDNESDAY • AUGUST 23, 2023

the KHRC that would have kept him from serving his suspension,
so he stepped away from training between early April and earlyJuly of that year to sit out his penalty.
The KHRC appeals then led to six days of evidentiary hearings
in August 2022. The process got delayed a month later when the
hearing officer had to recuse himself after one of Baffert's
attorneys bought a horse at auction that the hearing officer
co-owned.
A new hearing officer, Eden Stephens, took over, and in May
2023 issued a report that concluded that "the stewards' decision
was made on reliable, substantive evidence that the horse,
Medina Spirit, was administered and carried the prohibited
substance, betamethasone" and that "the KHRC's regulations do
not state that any route of administration excuses a post-race
betamethasone positive."
It took nearly three more months before the KHRC's vote on
the hearing officer's recommendations made it onto the Aug.
22, 2023, monthly meeting agenda. In the interim, CDI extended
its private-property banishment of Baffert through 2024.
On Tuesday, the KHRC did not discuss any specifics of theappeals prior to the unanimous voice vote to reject them. The
item was listed last on the meeting agenda, and it occurred after
a break for the commission to have discussions in an executive
session.
When the KHRC reconvened in open session, chairman
Jonathan Rabinowitz asked if any commissioners wanted to"abstain due to conflicts of interest, or perceived conflicts ofinterest." Four did: Michael Dudgeon, Lesley Howard, Charles
O'Connor and Catherine Parke.
Rabinowitz then called for a vote "approving a final order as

TDN HEADLINE NEWS • PAGE 9 OF 15 • THETDN.COM

WEDNESDAY • AUGUST 23, 2023

stated." But exactly what the KHRC commissioners were voting
on was not read into the public record.
TDN had to subsequently ask for and receive a copy of theorder from KHRC staff after the meeting to learn what it stated.
"The Hearing Officer's Recommended Order is approved,
adopted, and incorporated herein by reference as a part of thisOrder," the five-page document read, in part. "Petitioners'
appeal is therefore DISMISSED. This is a FINAL AND APPEALABLE
ORDERY"The document listed the procedures for just such an appeal,
which, according to state statue, must happen in a Kentucky
circuit court within 30 days after issuance of the final order.

THE X-RAY FILES: WESLEY WARD
by Jessica Martini
The TDN sat down with trainer Wesley Ward for the next
installment in this ongoing series presented in cooperation with
the Consignors and Breeders Association (CBA). Throughconversations with buyers and sellers, the series looks tocontribute to the discussion on radiograph findings and theirimpact on racetrack success.

Wesley Ward | Fasig-Tipton photo
Nothing quite goes together like Wesley Ward and winning 2year-olds in the Spring at Keeneland. The leading trainer at six
Keeneland Spring meets, Ward=s early starting juveniles areusually treated as sure things when they head to the post. The
group is generally a mix of homebreds from Ward=s successful
off-the-beaten path breeding operation, as well as horses
purchased for clients at the previous fall=s yearling sales.
When Ward is shopping the yearling auctions, he said he has
one non-negotiable on the vet work.

AI always scope,@ Ward said. AThat=s what we start with. The
horse has to scope fine. That=s number one. When I am buying
horses at sales, I always try to get a no-airway abnormalities.
That=s something that can=t be rectified.@
Buying with the intention of racing gives Ward more flexibility
than shoppers looking for horses to re-sell as 2-year-olds thefollowing year.
AYou are certainly going to look at any defects, as far as if
there are any chips or OCDs, we take that into consideration,@
Ward said. ABut when I am buying yearlings, I am able to forgive
a lot of things because I am going to the races. I am not going to
try to resell. There will be some issues that consignors of 2-yearolds can=t buy because they have to re-sell to future clients. A lotof people aren=t as forgiving as I am. I tend to forgive a lot andthis way they get discounted by other trainers or owners
because they are relying heavily on vets. But a lot of the best
horses that I have had haven=t passed vets, either as yearlings or
as 2-year-olds. And for me, I have never had any issues withthem.@
Over his three decades as a trainer, Ward said he has learned
to structure his training regimen to take into consideration
those veterinary issues.
AWhen horses have issues, I tend to not train them very hard,@
he said. AWhen I breeze horses, most of the riders who breeze

TDN HEADLINE NEWS • PAGE 10 OF 15 • THETDN.COM

my horses are right around 100 pounds and never over 110. I try
to not go too fast with them in the mornings. I am sort ofevolving with that, whereas I used to like to breeze the horses
fast and get them fit. Now I tend to go the other way and I havea really light rider when they are breezing or going fast and thenin the interim, I will do a lot of jogging.@
In addition to his success with sales purchases, Ward has built
a steady stream of success with homebreds by less-thancommercial stallions. During the first week of this year=s
Keeneland Spring meet, he won with 2-year-old homebreds
Bledsoe (Iqbaal), Hibernacle (Hootenanny) and Mangione(Hootenanny). Hibernacle went on to sell for $310,000 at the
Keeneland April Horses of Racing Age Sale a few weeks later.
It=s fair to say these homebreds have a very different
upbringing than their sales counterparts.

Hibernacle | Coady Photography
AI try to let them be horses from the time they are born,@ Wardsaid. AThere is very little human interaction. Everything is
outside, we never bring them inside, and we pet them a lot towhere they are not afraid of people, but yet they are wild. That=s
the way I try to raise them. When we wean them, that=s when
we teach them to walk and we will spend about a week keeping
them in the barn, putting a halter on them and walk them. And
then in the springtime the following year, when they are justturning one, that=s when we bring them in and swim them forabout a week, not for anything other than they really learn a lot
mentally. And then we will kick them out until September when
we start breaking them.@
During his breaking process, Ward utilizes his horses= natural
herd instinct, always working with young horses two at a time orin a large group.
AThey are all together--horses are herd animals,@ Ward said.
AGradually we move them from Kentucky to Florida and we start
weaning them to where they can go individually. But that will be

WEDNESDAY • AUGUST 23, 2023

a long way. It=s a long process.@
It=s a long process...and where is the vet in the process?
AI have very few vet bills, but I do a lot of X-rays,@ Ward said.
AMy veterinarian Tami Gillon will have radiographs on all of ourbabies just to see moving forward what issues they have and ifthey do have any issues, Dr. Wayne McIlwraith has been myveterinarian surgeon for 30 years. He comes in once a monthand cleans up whatever we have. I just wait on him andsometimes we will have to wait a month. What I have found isthat, waiting on Dr. McIlwraith to come in, that joint calms
down. Say with some of the older horses who are injured in arace or work, if they chip an ankle or a knee, the longer you wait
to fix whatever issue there is, it helps to let that joint calm down
and just keep that horse in the stall until he can get in there andhe cleans it up.@
While the process of raising his young horses may be long,
Ward thinks it shows up in the way they perform on the
racetrack.
AThat wildness is still in them,@ he said. AWhich is why I thinkraising them that way, they outrun their pedigrees.@
The sales yearlings, on the other hand, come into Ward=s barnwith a whole other upbringing and their addition to the herd canhelp bring the homebreds up to speed.
AThe ones I get from the sale are pretty much already broke,@
Ward said. AThey have been handled so much and prepped somuch that it doesn=t take much with them. We will get them andturn them out with the ones that I raised and we will sort of use
those horses who are way more advanced. They are a lot easier
to break than mine and they help mine because they will follow
them. Mine, you can hardly lead them. And these ones are
essentially broke. Mine are followers. They will follow the otherhorses, but within a couple of weeks, they fall right into where
you couldn=t tell who is who.@

GUN RUNNER COLT BREAKS THROUGH IN
SMARTY JONESIl Miracolo | Equi-PhotoIl Miracolo (Gun Runner), a longshot second in Saratoga's
Curlin S. July 21, broke through with a career high in Tuesday's
GIII Smarty Jones S. at Parx.
Drawn widest of all in post eight, the 7-2 chance was hustledfrom his outside draw and raced three wide around the
clubhouse turn. He sat a perfect, stalking trip from an outside
third, made his move on the far turn, kicked for home as the one
to catch, and, despite drifting out badly down the lane, wasnever in any serious danger late. It was three lengths back to
Cagliostro (Upstart) in second; Daydreaming Boy (Goldencents)
was third.
A well-beaten sixth in both the GII Fountain of Youth S. Mar. 4

IN TRIBUTE TO ANTHONY MANGANARO
Tributes continue to come in to industy innovator and Siena
Farm owner Anthony Manganaro, who passed away suddenly
Sunday in Saratoga.
Craig Bandoroff, Denali Stud
Anthony Manganaro wasn=t out to make friends. He was out tochange an industry he loved. He was a street fighter, a former
labor organizer, and he was willing to fight. When one idea hit adead end, he came up with another one and another one and,

TDN HEADLINE NEWS • PAGE 12 OF 15 • THETDN.COM

WEDNESDAY • AUGUST 23, 2023

well, you get the idea. He never gave up in his mission to makethe industry better.
I often say one of the wonderful things about my career is I=ve
had the opportunity to be around and learn from some very
smart and remarkable people. If I had to rank them, Anthonymight be #1 for me. He was one of those rare people who was a
visionary and who flew at 30,000 feet, seeing the big picture.
That=s not something many of us can do. We know we should
and we try, but we just aren=t capable of doing it. Anthony hadthat gift.
I first met him around 15 years ago. He introduced himself andbrought me into his circle of confidants. He included me in his
mission to make the sport better for everyone involved,
especially the people who didn=t have a voice.
I soon learned he had the ideas, the vision and the finances tochange the industry. He spent millions of dollars of his own
money with architects, lawyers and consultants as he refined his
ideas. He took me to meetings with former NBA commissioner,
David Stern, former Major League Baseball players attorney,
Don Fehr, and a sports business icon, Harvey Schiller. The thing
each of them had in common was they recognized that
Thoroughbred racing had all the ingredients to make it a major
league sport again. They were truly excited about its potential
and the possibilities. The ideas they had and the vision they
could see for horse racing were inspiring.
There was just one problem. They didn=t know our industry.
They didn=t know we were an industry, as Anthony always said,
that refused to want to make the pie bigger. Instead we=d rather
fight over our slice of a shrinking pie.
Anthony, like another visionary, B. Wayne Hughes, worked
tirelessly to make the industry he cared about better. They wereboth remarkable individuals who commanded enormous
amounts of respect, regardless of what side of the debate youwere on.
If you knew him, you realize we just lost our biggest thinker. If
you didn=t know him, then you have no idea what we lost. Trustme, we lost a lot. We lost someone we won=t replace very easily.
There are very few Anthony Manganaros out there, if any. And
unfortunately we weren=t always smart enough to listen to him.
If we had, I can promise you we wouldn=t be facing as many
challenges as we do today.
But he can rest in peace knowing he sure tried. I=ll miss him
and whether you know it or not, so will you. Go in peace, friend.

easiest way to describe how he mentored was through a
passage he sent me after my first child was born:
AWhat Is Success@To laugh often and much;
To win the respect of intelligent people andthe affection of children;
To earn the approbation of honest critics and endure
the betrayal of false friends;
To appreciate beauty;
To find the best in others;
To give of one's self;
To leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child,a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition;
To have played and laughed with enthusiasm andsung with exultation;
To know even one life has breathed easier because you
have lived This is to have succeeded.
- Ralph Waldo Emerson
Indeed, Anthony left the world a better place. He consistently
cultivated his >garden patch.= He paid special attention to all of
those in his life and ultimately trained countless gardeners tocarry on that legacy.

Jak Knelman
Anthony had a profound impact on many. He mentored insuch a way that traversed typical career advice and focused on
the fundamentals of who we are and who we could become...
He truly wanted others around him to be successful. Perhaps the

handle of $13.6 million.
"It's exciting to have ushered in a new era for the Plate inrecord-breaking fashion," said Jim Lawson, CEO of Woodbine
Entertainment. "We felt good about the buzz surrounding thefirst King's Plate in over 70 years and that was clearly backed up
on Sunday through the energy of our sold-out crowd and thewagering support."
The King's Plate race, won by Paramount Prince (Society's
Chairman), brought in $4,455,176.26 in wagering, including a
new record Win Pool of $1,179,172.71. The 17-horse field for
the Plate was the largest since 2011.
"Our Racing Team did a great job putting together acompetitive and appealing Plate card for horseplayers," Lawsonsaid. "I'm very proud of our entire team behind the scenes at
Woodbine for their efforts. Now we aim to carry thismomentum through the remainder of the season and theupcoming major stakes in September and October."

RANCHO TEMESCAL WELCOMES NON-PROFITFRESH START SPORT HORSES RETRAINING
PROGRAM
Rancho Temescal, a leading Thoroughbred farm in Southern
California, has opened the gates of its 6,000-acre property tohouse incoming tenant Fresh Start Sport Horses, a 501(c)(3)non-profit organization that retrains racehorses for alternative
careers under the direction of founder and head trainer
Cassandra Andersson. The move to relocate all Fresh Start
horses and equipment from the group's former, five-acre leased
facility in Agua Dulce is expected to be completed by Sept. 1,
2023.
"We are honored to welcome Fresh Start Sport Horses to ourfarm," said Rancho Temescal President Tim Cohen. "My family
has long operated under the philosophy of always care--not justafter care--for our athletes. This exciting addition of Fresh Start
and its wonderful retraining program will allow us to continuethat commitment on a much more fundamental and meaningful
level."
Over the past seven years, approximately 50 horses
campaigned by Red Baron's or owned by Rancho Temescal
clients have been rehomed through the Fresh Start program.
These graduates range in status from $1,384,604-earner
Itsinthepost (Fr) and $397,140-earner Si Sage (Fr), each of whom
carried Red Baron=s silks to multiple graded stakes victories, tothe non-winners Fi Fi=s Wild Heart and Endearing Suances,whose combined career earnings on the racetrack were justover $1,000.
"It is so rewarding to see our former racehorses thrive in their
new careers, no matter how much talent they displayed on the
track," Cohen said. "So, when we learned recently that Fresh
Start was considering closing their facilities due to a lack ofresources, Red Baron's Barn jumped at the opportunity toprovide significant funding and housing so Cassandra and hercrew can continue their important work here at Rancho
Temescal."Thursday, Saratoga #9, post time: 5:44 p.m. EDT

RETURN TO V2 SALE STYLE YORK:CAN PADDINGTON RUN CONTINUE IN THE
RESULTS IN SUPERB RISE IN JUDDMONTE INTERNATIONAL? By Tom Frary
When a horse like Paddington (GB) (Siyouni {Fr}) comes along,
TRADE AT ARQANA
the challenge is to find a new narrative as big-race win follows
big-race win. There is no up-and-down to colour the story, nobouncing back from adversity, no heroic turnaround fromsetback. It is a clear case of superiority winning out each time, as
it feels to watch Man City=s relentless march through football=s
major tournaments on the other side of the Pennines.
Sometimes, the truth is the horse does the talking and it is clearthat we are dealing with a colt with a metronomic rhythm to his
racing which at present shows no sign of being upset.
As far as Wednesday=s G1 Juddmonte International isconcerned, it is up a trio with varying credentials in Mostahdaf(Ire) (Frankel {GB}), Nashwa (GB) (Frankel {GB}) and The Foxes(Ire) (Churchill {Ire}) to halt the momentum of Ballydoyle=s atonce unassuming and impressive colt. Cont. p7
Lot 328: the Kodiac colt led the way at V2 | Zuzanna Lupa

By Brian Sheerin
DEAUVILLE, France--The return to the V2 Sale at Arqana
worked wonders for the middle market trade on Tuesday witheight six-figure lots going through the ring on a day where overi5.5m was spent on 141 yearlings.
The V2 Sale was replaced by the September Sale 12 months
ago due to an oversupply of yearlings but an average price ofless than i20,000 on 202 horses sold brought an abrupt end to
the new concept.
With the Tuesday average over double that of last year's
September Yearling Sale, reverting to the V2 style can bedeemed a resounding success for Arqana and tops off amemorable weekend for the sales company following thebonanza of an August Sale.
It didn't take long for the big prices--relative to the stock onoffer--to start rolling in at Arqana on Tuesday with lot 328, aKodiac (GB) colt from Haras de la LouviPre, selling to Arthur
Hoyeau on behalf of the Windfield Colt Partnership fori200,000.
The Kodiac colt is out of Rainbow Vale (Fr) (Moss Vale {Ire}),herself a half-sister to the black-type performer Rainbow
Crossing (GB) (Cape Cross {Ire}). She is also the dam of dual
listed winner Prince Lancelot (GB) (Sir Prancealot {Ire}). Cont. p3

Romanised Continues To Earn Plaudits

Al Shaqab Show Loyalty To Wooded

Romanised was another freshman sire to do well with his only
representation in a sale, when a filly of his realised i170,000 at
the August Sale, and the Haras de Bouquetot resident posted
more decent figures on Tuesday. Of the yearlings offered by the
Irish 2,000 Guineas winner, all four were sold for an average of
i58,500. That included lot 351, a colt consigned by Haras deCastillon and sold to Pauline Cheboub on behalf of Yellow
Agency and Jean-Etienne Dubois, for i87,000.

During a busy August Sale where Al Shaqab spent overi4m on 10 yearlings, Benoit Jeffroy described Sheikh Johaan's
operation as being back and even hinted that there could be
more to come in V2. That proved to be the case when Al Shaqab
demonstrated its loyalty to young stallion Wooded by signing fora colt from Tourgeville for i60,000. Wooded, who stands at
Haras de Bouquetot for i12,000, had one colt in the August
Sale and he sold for i140,000. The G1 Prix de l'Abbaye winnerenjoyed an encouraging V2 session with nine yearlings making
i329,000 at an average of i36,556.

A Sign Of Things To Come With Shaman?
The only Shaman (Ire) colt in the sale was knocked down toJean-Claude Roget for i50,000. Best known for his
performances in France, including a Group 2 victory over Way
To Paris (GB) over 1m2f at ParisLongchamp in 2020, theYeomanstown Stud-based freshman sire provided connectionsof lot 347, consigned by Capucines, with a tidy profit for just a
i6,000 cover fee. Doubtless we will get a better gauge on how
the progeny of Shaman is met by the market in the British andIrish yearling sales in the coming months but he certainly madea decent start at V2.

Bozo went on to add an Olympic Glory (Ire) filly (lot 431) on
behalf of Icurie des Charmes to be trained by Christophe
Ferland. She was consigned by Haras de Grandcamp and sold for
i115,000.
He said, AShe is a beautiful filly and has a great page as welland is a half to black-type horses. It was a bit more money thanwe expected to spend but I think the market is very strong andyou have to pay a lot of money for the nice ones. The sales overthe past three years have been unbelievably strong and you
have to give a bit of money for the best ones.@

Good Sale For Galiway
Galiway (GB) is proving himself as one of those good, versatilesires and his stock is clearly on the rise with seven yearlings
selling for i519,000 at an average of i74,143.

Bozo Bags Two Nice Fillies
One of the fascinating subplots of the August Sale and V2 was
the market's reaction to Etreham's freshman sires HelloYoumzain (Fr) and Persian King (Ire) but one would wager that
Nicolas de Chambure and his team will also be happy with how
City Light (Fr) has performed in recent days.
City Light has already had runners, of course, and plenty ofpromising types at that. Judging by the results posted at Arqana
in recent days, buyers have a lot of time for the i7,000 son of
Siyouni.
One of the keenest men of City Light's offering was Ghislain
Bozo of Meridian International, who went to i115,000 tosecure lot 403, a nice filly by the sire and offered by Haras deBeauvoir.
Bozo said, "I thought she was outstanding and she has a great
page. For V2, I thought she was outstanding. I loved her. She has
a lot of Sea The Stars (Ire) about her.@He added, ACity Light is exciting. He's had a very good start andobviously his sire is fantastic. He's an exciting young sire and has
been well-managed by Etreham and the owner of City Light hasgiven the stallion every chance as well.@City Light had nine yearlings sold at i480,000 on Tuesday.
Lot 403 is out of Boscastle, a Sea The Stars half-sister toblack-type performers Anothertwistafate (Scat Daddy) and
Ajourneytofreedom (Hard Spun).

Buy Of The Day
Lot 420
Galiway (GB) filly out of Diamond Lace (Fr) (Iffraaj {GB})Vendor: Haras du Longchamp
Purchaser: Coln Pen
Malcolm Bastard may have found himself a bargain at V2. The
renowned horseman signed for lot 420, a filly by the rising force
Galiway, for just i45,000 and there are plenty of reasons tothink he got the value.
Consigned by Haras du Longchamp, there was a lot to like
about the Galiway, not least her walk and general conformation.
However, she may not be too early and looks a bit of a project
who could flourish in time despite being out of an Iffraaj (GB)half-sister to two black-type sprinters.
She's gone to one of the best outfits there is and, given how
well the progeny of Galiway sold all weekend and on Tuesday,
she could prove to be excellent value.

Thought Of The Day

WEDNESDAY • 23 AUGUST 2023

The sale was particularly dynamic and supported by numerous
trainers and agents as well as foreign buyers. The solid demand
was underlined by 41 horses sold for over i50,000 in addition
to the high clearance rate. We=re delighted with these results
and we would like to thank our vendors for putting their trust in
us as well as our buyers that were extremely active throughout.
All these yearlings are eligible for the next edition of the Arqana
Series and we hope to see them on the racetrack at Deauville orParisLongchamp from 2024 onwards.''

SALES TOPPERS
Hello Youmzain | Zuzanna Lupa

Anyone with a mare in foal to Hello Youmzain will be sitting
pretty now. Of all the first-season sires on offer here in the pastfew days, there was an awful lot to like of the Hello Youmzains
collectively.
He will be a very short price to end 2024 as the champion
first-season sire in France at least judging by the quality of his
stock at the August Sale and at V2. As a result, his foals could be
hard to buy later in the year.

AV.2 Has Found Its Place@
Arqana=s President Eric Hoyeau and Executive Director Freddy
Powell said, ''The v.2 Yearling Sale has found its place in thecalendar once again and these exceptional few days at Deauvillein August have concluded in the very best way.

Paddington winning the Sussex | Eclipse Sportswire

He needs this win to match the five-in-a-row Group 1 tally of
one of the current regime=s initial superstars Giant=s Causeway,
who was beaten in the Irish 2000 Guineas in which Paddingtonbegan his sequence. Shape shifting between supreme miler and
10-furlong horse just like the AIron Horse@ before him, heremains in pursuit of the seven consecutive elite-level triumphsof more Rosegreen royalty in Rock Of Gibraltar (Ire).
After mastering the stern uphill climax of the Eclipse and theunorthodox gradients of Goodwood, fast and deep turf, thelatest test comes on the Knavesmire=s level playing field whichcatches out only the complacent. What can possibly go wrong?
Aidan O=Brien can=t pinpoint a weakness.
AHe=s an amazing horse really and all he=s done is progress witheach race,@ he reiterated on Tuesday. AThere=s nothing muchelse I can say about him, every time we=ve asked him a question
he keeps coming up with it. The ground is fine and we know hestays the trip. He went to the Coral-Eclipse for his first run over amile and a quarter, so this is a little bit further on a flatter track.@
This is Frankie=s last chance to edge Lester Piggott for theoutright record of six wins and it would be a freakish turn offortune if Jim Crowley=s suspension meant that it came on
Wednesday on Shadwell=s Mostahdaf. One of the least heraldedof the big guns that lined up for Royal Ascot=s G1 Prince ofWales=s S., the Clarehaven slow-burner left nobody in any doubtthat he was the only member of that particular cast made for afast-ground mile-and-a-quarter test as he dished out a humbling
beating to Luxembourg (Ire) (Camelot {GB}) and Adayar (Ire)(Frankel {GB}) et al.

WEDNESDAY • 23 AUGUST 2023

The evidence of Riyadh and Royal Ascot suggest Mostahdaf isfinally the finished article, but the question is whether that extra
strength brought about by maturity is the equivalent of theseven pounds weight-for-age he advances to Paddington. John
Gosden is looking forward to finding out now that the cards
have fallen right with the wet spell behind us. AThere=s nochange in Plan A, it was always to give him the time,@ he said.
AHe benefited from time between Saudi Arabia and running in
Dubai through to June and, again, we=ve taken a similar spacingwith him.@
On Mostahdaf=s surge up the Rankings, Shadwell=s racing
manager Angus Gold admits to having underestimated the 5year-old as he headed to the Royal meeting. AIf I=m honest, I wasa bit surprised to see him win [the Prince of Wales=s] quite like
that, but I probably shouldn=t have been after the way he won in
Saudi earlier this year. He was very impressive there and reallyquickened,@ he said. AI thought he ran well in the Sheema Classic
at Meydan too, where Equinox just killed him off the bend andhe didn=t get home but I was still surprised to see just how wellhe was travelling against a proper group one field at Royal Ascot
and just how well he quickened.@
Ballydoyle vs The Gosdens is the modern-day customary tale inthese kind of events and it is significant that the Newmarket
father-and-son axis bolster their challenge with Imad Al Sagar=s
beloved Nashwa here. Last year=s G1 Prix de Diane heroine
failed to see out this trip on testing ground on her return
mission in Goodwood=s G1 Nassau S., but had previously looked
to be peaking in the G1 Falmouth S. over a mile and this fastersurface is a prerequisite over this distance these days.
Hollie Doyle is keen to put the 4-year-old=s latest effort behind
her and she could be the fly in the ointment with her invaluable
fillies= allowance. AThey had an easy time on the front end andNashwa moved up like the best filly in the race, but she=dpossibly been further back than ideal on that ground which
probably blunted the turn of foot she showed in the Falmouth,@
she said. AShe takes her races very well and I=m hearing goodreports from home through Teddy Grimthorpe.@
Already a winner over this course and distance in the G2 Dante
S., King Power Racing=s The Foxes has to do much better than asubsequent fifth in the Derby and second in the GI Belmont
Derby Invitational.
AThe others may be proven at a higher level, but I do feel The
Foxes is an improving horse and we haven=t seen the best of him
yet,@ racing manager Alastair Donald explained. AIt looks likehe=ll get his preferred conditions of fast ground and we know helikes the course and distance. It might end up being a trappy
race and, you never know, it=s worth being there.@Cont. p8

Gregory The Key Player In The Great Voltigeur...

Classic Rematch In Yorkshire Oaks...

With Mostahdaf facing such a stern challenge on Wednesday,
Frankie might give the York faithful the flying dismount they
crave after the preceding G2 Great Voltigeur S. where Wathnan
Racing=s unbeaten Gregory (GB) (Golden Horn {GB}) looks asolid proposition. Despite carrying a three-pound penalty for his
G2 Queen=s Vase exploits over two furlongs further than thismile-and-a-half contest, he looks a genuine stayer with speed.
Ballydoyle=s representative Continuous (Jpn) (Heart=s Cry {Jpn})
had the pace to be third to The Foxes in the Dante and to getclosest to one of his generation=s bigwigs King Of Steel (Wootton
Bassett {GB}) in a slowly-run G2 King Edward VII S., so if Gregory
can usurp him and Godolphin=s G3 Bahrain Trophy winner Castle
Way (GB) (Almanzor {Fr}) with the odds slightly against him the
St Leger will loom even larger on his horizon.

Thursday=s G1 Pertemps Network Yorkshire Oaks will see theG1 Irish Oaks one-two Savethelastdance (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) andBluestocking (GB) (Camelot {GB}) square up again after a field of
10 was confirmed on Tuesday. Shadwell=s G1 Nassau S. heroine
Al Husn (Ire) (Dubawi {Ire}) is the key member of the older
brigade, while in the supporting card=s six-furlong G2 Lowther S.
the G2 Queen Mary S. runner-up and Weatherbys Super Sprint
winner Relief Rally (Ire) (Kodiac {GB}) encounters eight rivals
including Ballydoyle=s impressive Curragh maiden winner Cherry
Blossom (Ire) (No Nay Never).

Big Moment For Keatley In The Acomb...
Adrian Keatley has been slowly making a name for himself
from his British base and in another Wathnan Racing acquisitionin Ballymount Boy (Ire) (Camacho {GB}) he has the rightmaterial to make waves in the always-important G3 Tattersalls
Acomb S. Looking in need of this extra furlong when a length
second to the subsequent G1 Prix Morny hero Vandeek (GB)(Havana Grey {GB}) in the G2 Richmond S. over six at Goodwood
earlier this month, he sets the standard and it is just a case ofwhether he can contain the flow of unexposed types.
AWe thought a lot of our horse going to Goodwood, so weweren=t by any means surprised by his run and we appreciatethat the winner now looks very good as well--it=s all stacking up,@his trainer said. AHe went from a four-runner novice race at
Hamilton into a group two and it was a massive step, a massive
ask, and he answered all the questions bar one. We think hecould be a top-class seven furlong horse or miler for the future.@With two Guineas winners in Phoenix Of Spain (Ire) (Lope De
Vega {Ire}) and Chaldean (GB) (Frankel {GB}) winning this in thelast five years, it pays to watch the untested colts closely and
Cogitate (Ire) (Churchill {Ire}) is one of the more intriguing.
Trainer Charlie Hills said of the Newbury novice scorer, AHis
work has been good and we think he could be a nice horse forthe future. He travelled very well [at Newbury], he=s got a good
attitude and a good temperament--I was really taken by his firstrun. He=s a big, scopey horse and he should be a nice horse fornext year as well.@Also in the mix is Ballydoyle=s Naas maiden winner Edwardian(No Nay Never), the Eve Johnson Houghton-trained Ascot
maiden scorer Indian Run (Ire) (Sioux Nation) and the courseand-distance winner Loose Cannon (Ire) (Territories {Ire}) fromthe William Haggas stable.
