>SHAMROCKS IN THE
BLUEGRASS': JOHN ENNISENJOYING THE RIDEJohn Ennis | Photos by Z
by Chris McGrath
Opening an occasional series focused on Irish expatriates in
Kentucky, TDN meets a son of Co. Meath testing the GI Kentucky
Derby water with his impressive Leonatus S. winner.
As migrations go, one is rather less surprising than the other.
On the one hand, over the past two years the synthetic circuit at
Turfway has consecutively delivered the winner and runner-up
in the definitive test of a dirt Thoroughbred. On the other, thetrainer hoping to produce another GI Kentucky Derby horsefrom the same unlikely platform is only the latest in a perennial
line of Irish expatriates to have successfully adapted their skills
to a new environment in the Bluegrass.
Most of the compatriots to be featured in this series will do sothrough their endeavors on horse farms, rather than on the
racetrack. But almost of all of them have a similar story to John
Ennis, in having crossed the water with little more than awillingness to work for chances in "the land of opportunity" thatmight never have been found in their homeland.
ANo chance,@ replies Ennis, asked whether he could haveachieved similar things back home. AAbsolutely zero. You'd haveto go back there with $1 million and probably still fail. That's thelong and short of it. I love going jump racing, when I'm backhome, love it. But could I do it there? Not a chance. Cont. P3

BREEDERS' CUP RUNNER-UP JODY'S PRIDE
TAKES NEXT STEP ON OAKS TRAIL
by Katie Petrunyak
Steve Weston hoped to produce a nice turf horse when hesent his mare Jody's Song (Scat Daddy) to Coolmore's American
Pharoah. Jody's Song had been undefeated in two starts on thegrass in New York and American Pharoah had already shown his
versatility as a sire when he produced several Grade I-winning
turfers from his first few crops.
Everyone spoke highly of the resulting filly, whom he named
Jody's Pride, throughout her early years, but when it came time
for the dark bay to make her debut last August at Saratoga, therace got rained off the turf. Trainer Jorge Abreu opted to keep
the filly entered anyways and to her connections' pleasantsurprise, she sprinted away to win by over 10 lengths.

on. It's almost been like transferring the breeze-up pinhook to

TDN HEADLINE NEWS • PAGE 4 OF 13 • THETDN.COM

Up to now, however, necessity has been the mother of
invention. Since early, commercial types were more affordable,
they became the seed corn. And, in contrast with the breeze-up
programs, Ennis could also avoid the artificial deadline of a2-year-old sale catalogue.
AIt's just kind of a win-win situation,@ Ennis says. AIt was a quick
turnover: I could get these horses to run fast, keep them sound,get them to the Keeneland spring meet. And I could make a little
money, because I'd own a piece myself. There didn't seem to be
many people doing it, and I thought that it could be a way tosurvive over here.
AFor the 2-year-old sales, you get one day where they have tobe ready. But if we're not ready for Keeneland opening
weekend, we've still got the whole month, and then Churchill.
Prize money is good, so if you can win you might get paid twice:
you get your purse, and you can sell.@
The foundations were admittedly precarious. Ennis bought his
first yearling, a $7,000 colt by Yes It's True, at Fasig-Tipton's
October Sale in 2017. Other than dabbling with the odd bit ofrehab or pre-training, in the five years since his arrival he had
subsisted chiefly on freelance trackwork. Even $7,000, then, wasmore than he could afford.
AI was getting older, and it was getting harder on the body to
be galloping all the time,@ he recalls. ABut it looked like I would
just have to carry on as I was unless I could develop the training
side. I remember going over to Fasig and thinking, >Look, no one
is going to give me horses. No one knows me. No one trusts me.
So I'll have to buy my own.'@Erin, meanwhile, his wife and mother to their twins Jack andEleanor, was supportive as ever. Somehow they scraped themoney together, with the help of friends, and Weiland showed a
bit of dash before fading into fifth on debut at Keeneland. Ennis
rolled the dice immediately, entering the colt for a stakes at
Churchill, and was rewarded when Weiland just prevailed after atense stretch drive.
ASo after that we got him sold, and it just snowballed fromthere,@ Ennis says. AAnd I just kept reinvesting, kept doing it,
again and again.@
Deep in the Keeneland September Sale of 2019, for instance,
he found an Oxbow colt for $9,500. The following July, as a
Churchill debut winner and GIII Bashford Manor S. runner-up,
County Final topped Fasig-Tipton's Horses of Racing Age auction
at $475,000.
But now Epic Ride is threatening to elevate Ennis to newheights. He already did that, in fairness, simply by walking into
the barn as a $160,000 yearling. He had been found at the
Keeneland September Sale by Welch Racing, who wererecommended to Ennis by his friend and client Martha Jane
Mulholland of Mulholland Springs Farm.

ASo it was great to be given that opportunity,@ Ennis says
gratefully. AIt's a group round Jennifer and Mark Welch from
Tennessee, lovely people and kind of new in the game. I think it
was Mark's dad that always wanted to have a Derby horse, andfor his ambition to be carried on, so that's why they named him
Epic Ride.
AHe's a beautiful, scopey horse; big but not too big, if you
know what I mean. On looks he certainly wouldn't be out ofplace in the Derby paddock. And he's fast, but he carries it. The
thing I really like is that he's uber professional, just settles sowell. He probably should have won first time, sprinting, but it
actually probably worked out better that he just got beat, as it
got that extra race into him and he was able to win his maiden
impressively. And then he came back for the Leonatus S. I didn't
think he was quite ready, physically, but he won easy, didn't geta smack or anything and galloped out strong.@
Ennis is too familiar with the challenging margins of his
profession to be getting carried away, but the reality is that asimilar performance against a deeper field on Saturday could
not fail to evoke the recent examples of Two Phil's and Rich
Strike. The latter was probably not as effective on a synthetic
track, but Two Phil's turned out to be one of those horses thatare simply more adaptable than people tend to expect.
AAnd before those you've obviously had others, like Animal
Kingdom, that switched between surfaces,@ Ennis muses. AAnd
you know what, one thing about Turfway, they come out of theirraces really good. They don't have the grueling, punishing races
that they sometimes do on the dirt. These horses that have been
coming out of the Jeff Ruby [the Grade III climax of the Turfway
series], they've bounced out of it and they've run well in the
Derby. So, look, we'll see if he can get the points, and then we
can start thinking about the Ruby or the [GI] Blue Grass.@
Long before he started training on this scale, Ennis had always
noticed the different effects of different surfaces in conditioning
a horse.
AFor years, I was riding a lot of nice horses for some of thebigger trainers,@ he notes. AAnd when you're riding that many
horses, every day, you'd get to feel how some of them were
getting tired and labored underneath you. So I never want toempty a horse on the dirt, because it can bottom them fairly
fast. At the Thoroughbred Center, it's a heavy enough dirt, it
takes a bit of getting. You could easily overcook a horse if you
trained them too much. So, yeah, less can be more.@That earlier experience riding trackwork also introduced Ennis
to what elevates the best horses from the herd. For he was once
the regular exercise partner of a future dual Horse of the Year in
Wise Dan (Wiseman's Ferry).

Jody's Pride wins the 2023 Matron S. | Susie Raisher

Cont. from P1
Again in her next start in the Matron S., the race was switchedto the main track. Again, Jody's Pride won going away.
ASo then we tried the grass for a third time in the Breeders'Cup,@ recalled Weston. ABut they said they didn't have room for
us. So we said, 'Okay, we'll try the dirt. We don't know how
she'll do. She's never gone two turns, but we'll see.'@Sent off at 18-1 odds in the GI Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies,
Jody's Pride and jockey Flavien Prat trailed heavy favorite
Tamara (Bolt d'Oro) along the rail before swinging out to close inon winner Just FYI (Justify) in the final strides and finish second
by a neck. At that point it was a pretty easy decision that Jody's
Pride would be sticking to dirt, at least for the time being, as she
points toward the GI Kentucky Oaks.
ABelieve me, I'm not complaining,@ Weston said with a laugh.
AIt's very hard to be able to get a good dirt horse that can go twoturns. I'm blessed right now to have one.@
Steve and Debbie Weston's Parkland Thoroughbreds has
excelled at the top level of the sport in recent years bypartnering up on the likes of Porta Fortuna (Ire) (Caravaggio),
who won the G3 Albany S. at Ascot last year, 2023 GII
Appalachian S. victress Papilio (Ire) (Starspangledbanner {Aus}),and other graded stakes winners like Royal Charlotte (Cairo
Prince) and Horologist (Gemologist). But Jody's Pride stands out
as a rare homebred for their stable and she's the one that
Weston said is Aby far@ the best he's ever bred.
Weston, who is based in Parkland, Florida but spends hissummers in Saratoga, purchased the filly's dam as a yearling for$250,000 at the 2016 Fasig-Tipton Saratoga Sale. The daughterof Scat Daddy was bred by Avanti Stable, whose owners Marioand Dawn Martinez lived just a few doors down from theWestons on Fifth Avenue. Named after Weston's sister who had
recently passed away, Jody's Song showed talent early on and

FRIDAY • MARCH 1, 2024

won on debut by three lengths, but injuries cut her career short.
Jody's Pride was only the mare's second foal, but sadly Jody's
Song passed away from colic a week before Jody's Pride madeher debut last year.
AIt was a terrible loss,@ Weston said. AShe had two surgeries
and she lived for about a month, but we just couldn't save her.@
Jody's Song produced three other foals including a 4-year-old
daughter of Uncle Mo who broke her maiden last summer at
Belmont and retired to Weston's broodmare band this year. She
also has a 2-year-old colt by American Pharoah training in Ocala
and another American Pharoah yearling colt.
Weston's boutique breeding program is strictly a breed-to-race
operation. Along with a handful of mares in New York, he owns
Sabrina's Angel (Scat Daddy), a half-sister to WinStar sire
Audible. Weston said that he considers breeding a filly like
Jody's Pride to be one of the highlights of his time in the game.
AIt's a different feeling,@ he explained. ANot that I don't enjoy
Porta Fortuna and the others because I do, but it's a different
feeling when you breed one and you're racing it, especially at ahigh level.@Weston co-owns Jody's Pride with his good friend Joe
D'Agostino of Sportsmen Stable. The pair has been counting
down the days until their star filly's 3-year-old debut.
Jody's Pride was originally pointing for the GII Davona Dale S.,
but after she put in two works at Gulfstream, Abreu decided tosend her to the Busher S. at Aqueduct, where she has won once
before.
AShe's up there now and she's ready to go,@ Weston reported.
AIt was different when we went into the Breeders' Cup because
we were not expecting much. There wasn't much pressure andwe were just happy to be there. Now I'm sorry to say that ourhopes are so high that going into New York, sure we hope wewin, but we expect to run really well.@A newborn Jody's Pride with dam Jody's Song | courtesy Ashford Stud

Weston has followed this same path to the Oaks before. In
2022 Venti Valentine (Firing Line), a filly Parkland
Thoroughbreds co-owns with NY Final Furling Racing Stable, won
the Busher and was second in the GII Gazelle S. before taking
her connections to the Oaks. While the Abreu trainee finishedwell back in 14th that day, she has since proven to be a skilled
New York-bred stakes filly for the group, most recently finishingsecond in the Broadway S. at Aqueduct on Feb. 17.

FRIDAY • MARCH 1, 2024

Weston has a lot to look forward to this spring as many of his
top horses are set to return to the racetrack in the coming
weeks.
Porta Fortuna, who ran second in the GI Breeders' Cup
Juvenile Fillies Turf, has returned to training for the partnershipof Medallion Racing, Parkland Thoroughbreds, Reeves
Thoroughbred Racing and Barry Fowler and will make her
3Byear-old debut back in her home country of Ireland in early
April.
Papilio, who is co-owned by DJ Stable, Medallion Racing andBarry Fowler, made her 4-year-old debut at Gulfstream this past
weekend and finished a close second to MSW Sweet Dani Girl
(Jess's Dream).
Mischievous Angel (Into Mischief) is a 4-year-old out of
Weston's broodmare Sabrina's Angel. The gelding broke his
maiden on debut last June and then finished sixth in the GII Hallof Fame S. While the Chad Brown trainee hasn't seen thestarting gate since, Weston said he has been putting in solid
works at Palm Meadows this year and is set to make his 4-yearold debut at Keeneland this spring.

CASA CREED ON TRACK FOR AL QUOZSPRINT by Alan Carasso

LRE Racing LLC and JEH Racing Stable's four-time Grade I
winner Casa Creed (Jimmy Creed) has recovered from thefever that forced him to miss last weekend's G2 1351 Turf Sprint
in Saudi Arabia and is now being prepared for an appearance in
the G1 Al Quoz Sprint on the Dubai World Cup undercard
Mar. 30, co-owner Lee Einsidler confirmed Thursday.
AYou know, it's funny, if the Saudi race had been in Florida, wewouldn't have had to miss it,@ Einsidler said of last weekend's
contest, in which Casa Creed was beaten a neck in 2022 and ahead in 2023. AHe had a fever for one day and we were on thecusp, but we didn't want to put that stress on him of shipping
halfway around the world if he wasn't 100%. We didn't want
him to get off the plane in Saudi Arabia not feeling good. He's
been training great, he'd been training up to the [Saudi] race
great, but we had the fortunate alternative of going to Dubai, so
we said let's just wait.@
Casa Creed was a close fifth behind A Case of You (Ire) (HotStreak {Ire}) in the 2022 Al Quoz.
Casa Creed, co-owned by New York radio personality Mike
Francesa, returned to the worktab at Payson Park Feb. 23,
breezing an easy half-mile in :50.20 for trainer Bill Mott.
AThe plan was never to go to Saudi Arabia and then to Dubai,@
Einsidler continued. AThe plan was to go to Saudi and comehome like we did last year, so we'll just go straight to Dubai
instead. We're very excited. I've never been, so there's a goodchance that my son Jeffrey, who is totally into it with me, isgoing to come with me.@A two-time winner of the GI Jaipur S. over six furlongs and thetwo-time defending champion of the GI Fourstardave H. going amile, the 8-year-old Casa Creed holds a special place in

AHe's meant so much to us in our lives. You think about a horse
like Casa Creed every day,@ he said. AHe's just been so special tous. From the time we got him, he told us all that he loves to be a
racehorse and for me, racing is the ultimate escape from thedaily trials and tribulations of life. He's been a great separationfrom things you deal with in your life.@
Casa Creed has provided Einsidler, the CEO of the Casamigos
brand of tequila, a measure of peace and joy after tragicallylosing his son Aaron in August 2020.
ACasa Creed brought us and continues to bring us so much joy
and so much pleasure and excitement,@ he said. AWe're justthrilled to have him as part of our life. To be running at eight
years of age and competing at the highest level, it's a dreamcome true for a horse owner, it's so rare. We've been truly
blessed.@Tentative plans call for Casa Creed to pass this year's Jaipur, as
it has been shortened to 5 1/2 furlongs during the Belmont at
Saratoga meeting and he is a candidate for the $350,000
GIII Poker S. on the Belmont S. undercard the same afternoon,
June 8. The long-term goal would be the Fourstardave, where
Casa Creed was third in 2020 and 2021 before winning theprestigious race the last two seasons.
AThat would be just ridiculous,@ Einsidler exclaimed. AJust to bein the race five times is incredible, to win it for a third time
would be an amazing accomplishment.@
Luis Saez has ridden Casa Creed in his last 11 starts and has areturn call for the 1200-meter Al Quoz.

LETTERS TO THE EDITORHISA BOARD CHAIR ON HISA'S APPROACH
TO BANNED SUBSTANCES
by Charles Scheeler
HISA's mission is to protect the integrity of competition andthe welfare of horses in the Thoroughbred racing industry. The
Banned Substances list, set forth under HISA's Anti-Doping andMedication Control (ADMC) Program, is one of the many ways
HISA advances this mission.
Under HISA's ADMC Program, substances with no legitimate,medically justified use in Thoroughbreds are among thoseclassified as Banned Substances, just as they are under theanti-doping programs being run by other equine sports'
governing bodies.
Many Anon-approved substances@ on the Banned Substances
list have not been proven to enhance performance, but the factthat they may have performance-enhancing effects--and haveno legitimate, medically justified use--is reason enough forinclusion on the list. Horse racing and many other sports takethe common sense approach that, for the sake of equine or
human athlete's well-being, substances with unknown effects on
their bodies should never be permitted to be in their systems.
In line with the Horseracing Integrity and Welfare Unit's

FRIDAY • MARCH 1, 2024

(HIWU's) commitment to enforcing the ADMC Program equallyand fairly, Responsible Persons can provide context for aviolation when notified of suspected rule violations. Following
the issuance of a Charge Letter, a Responsible Person may
request a hearing before a member of the independent Arbitral
Body, where they can present evidence of inadvertent humantransfer. Additionally, HISA's Atypical Findings Policy addresses
prohibited substances commonly found through environmental
contamination (e.g. caffeine, ractopamine, scopolamine). If ahorse tests positive for a substance listed in the AtypicalFindings Policy, further investigation and review will take place
between HIWU and the Responsible Person to determine if thecase should be deemed negative or pursued as a violation. A
charge is only pursued if the investigation concludes that
contamination is not likely to be the cause of the positive. To
date, HIWU has received 35 Atypical Findings and only two haveresulted in charges.
To ensure fair representation, HISA has also appointed an
Ombudsman to help guide Responsible Persons who havequestions about their cases and the process and has establisheda pro bono program to match those who meet certain income
and asset requirements with attorneys who have agreed toprovide legal services at no cost.
The HISA Board and ADMC Committee extends its appreciation
to the vast majority of racing participants who operate incompliance with HISA's ADMC rules and share our commitment
to the highest standards of safety, integrity and welfare. Our
broad definition of Banned Substances as any substance without
a legitimate, medically justified use in Thoroughbreds aligns withthis high standard for protecting equine athletes from harm.
Charles Scheeler is the Chair of HISA Board of Directors.
Scheeler is a retired partner at DLA Piper, ran investigations in
performance-enhancing substance use in Major League
Baseball. Pennsylvania State University investigation in the Big
Ten Conference and safety practices within the University of
Maryland football program. Prior to joining DLA Piper, Scheeler
was a federal prosecutor in Maryland.

HORSE RACING IN NEW YORK BRINGS $3 BILLION
TO THE NYS ECONOMY
Horse racing in New York registered a $3-billion impact on the
Empire State's economy and an employment impact of 19,785 in
2023, per results released from the American Horse Council's
2023 Economic Impact Study.
"It's impressive to see how much of an economic engine horse
racing is in the state of New York," said NYTHA President Tina
Marie Bond. "Together with a total economic impact of $3
billion statewide, racing has added over 2,000 direct jobs in thepast five years. Racing supports land preservation and green
space across the state, and is a significant driver of tourism bothin the Capital Region and on Long Island. With the Belmont
Stakes Festival at Saratoga for 2024 and 2025, as well as aredeveloped Belmont Park on the horizon, racing will continue
to boost local economies and provide jobs for years to come.""The findings from the American Horse Council's economic
impact study for New York report that the breeding and racing
industry is an invaluable asset to our state," said NYTB President
Dr. Scott Ahlschwede, D.V.M. "Our state-bred program has
positioned itself as the leading regional program in the nation,
and we look forward to continuing to work with our fellow
stakeholders to ensure that the additional investment inbreeding and racing in New York will result in added revenue for
all areas across the state."

FROM FOOTBALLTO RACING, FERGUSONRETAINS THE
WINNING SPIRITTRAINER LUPINI CONFIRMS NEW OWNER FOR
1,000 GUINEAS CONTENDER KITTY ROSE
by Brian Sheerin
Natalia Lupini has confirmed that stable star Kitty Rose (GB)(Invincible Army {Ire}) has been sold to owner Tim Porter but
will remain in the care of the County Down-based trainer until
after the Qipco 1,000 Guineas at least.
Porter's colours were carried in Ireland last season aboard theJoseph O'Brien-trained Honey Girl (GB) (Mayson {GB}). It is
understood that Kitty Rose, who won the Listed Ingabelle S. at
the Irish Champions Festival before finishing second in a Group3, will continue her career in Australia later this summer.
Before then, Lupini, one of the most upwardly mobile trainers
in Ireland, says she is dreaming of a breakthrough Classic victorywith a filly who can be backed at odds of 33-1 for the
Newmarket showpiece. Cont. p7

IN TDN AMERICA TODAYJOHN ENNIS ENJOYING THE RIDE
Chris McGrath speaks with Irish expat John Ennis about his GI
Joy in Riyadh for Ged Mason, Richard Fahey and Sir Alex Ferguson
Racingfotos.com

By Emma Berry
Sir Alex Ferguson was back in Britain by Monday after enjoying
a second major international victory with his homebred Spirit
Dancer (GB) at the Saudi Cup meeting in Riyadh.
"It's been fantastic. He's an improving horse. As a younger
horse he had some issues but now he seems to be getting better
every year," Ferguson told TDN. "In his races in Bahrain andSaudi there was no catching him. There's no end to him at the
moment. The next question is can he go a mile and four
furlongs? That would give us other options."
Either side of Christmas the seven-year-old son of Frankel (GB)has given his owner-breeder an excuse for a trip to the sun
while picking up around ,1.5 million in prize-money, first in theG2 Bahrain International Trophy and then in last Saturday's G2
Howden Neom Turf Cup. These two races are relative blow-ins
on the international circuit, and at the end of March Spirit
Dancer will be aimed at his own version of a Middle East triple
crown when lining up on Dubai World Cup night. Cont. p3

Sir Alex Ferguson cont. from p1
The options currently being pondered by Ferguson and Spirit
Dancer's trainer Richard Fahey are whether to attempt the G1Dubai Turf over nine furlongs, a distance easily within his range,or to test the horse in the G1 Dubai Sheema Classic, which
would be asking him to go a furlong and a half farther than he's
been before.
"I'm swaying towards the mile and a half," Fahey admits. "But
we're going to take our time to think about it. In the back of mymind I've been wanting to try him over a mile and a half for awhile. I'm undecided but if I had to put a percentage on it, I'mleaning 80 per cent towards running in the Sheema Classic. I'm
leaving it as long as I can. Both races look very strong, but you
never know, one or two might drop out."
The trainer adds of Spirit Dancer, "He arrived in Dubai twodays after his win in Saudi and he's in great order."The latest bulletin will be music to the ears of Ferguson, whoraces Spirit Dancer in partnership with his friends Ged Mason
and Peter Done. The three men are also partners in a number ofsmart jumpers, meaning that Ferguson's loyalties are for thetime being a little torn. On Saturday, just ahead of Spirit
Dancer's triumph, the exciting young prospect Kalif du Berlais(Fr) (Masked Marvel {GB}) maintained his unbeaten run in
Britain with victory in the G2 Adonis Juvenile Hurdle at Kempton

He says, "I was definitely looking forward to the National Huntfor a long time and then along comes Spirit Dancer and spoils it
all. All of a sudden the excitement is just fantastic.
"We've got so many good National Hunt horses. Kalif duBerlais, who won on Saturday, and I think we're in quite a good
position for Cheltenham." Cont. p4

Sir Alex Ferguson Cont.
The Cheltenham Festival will be on Ferguson's agenda before
he returns to the Middle East, and he is hopeful that Hitman (Fr)
(Falco) can improve on his third-place finish last year when hereturns for another crack at the G1 Ryanair Chase. Like Kalif Du
Berlais and former star chasers What A Friend (GB) and Clan desObeaux (Fr), Hitman is trained by Paul Nicholls, who has also
recently taken charge of Caldwell Potter (Fr) (Martaline {GB}),bought by Ferguson, Mason, Done and another regular partner,
John Hales, for i740,000, a record sum for a National Hunthorse at public auction.
"I think Hitman will do well," Ferguson says. "I just feel that heseems to die in the last couple of fences over three miles, but
he's back running over two miles and four furlongs. He mightjust surprise people."Ferguson admits to having had "some great fun" with his
National Hunt string, and there has been no disguising his sheer
joy at the performances this winter of Spirit Dancer, who hastaken full advantage of the rapidly expanding race programmein the Gulf.
"Bahrain in five years' time will be really big," he says. "It'sdeveloping all the time. Of course Saudi is a wee bit ahead of itat the moment but in five years' time Dubai, Saudi and Bahrain
will all be fantastic. The prize-money is unbelievable."He adds, "Richard has been very good at communicating histhoughts and ideas with me. When he won at York, he said he
was going to send him to Bahrain. I had to ask, 'What's going on
in Bahrain?' He said it was a two-million-dollar race and I
thought, 'Oh, okay.' They looked after us so well."During his legendary career as manager of Manchester United,
Ferguson was famed for nurturing young talent on the pitch.
Now his eye can't help but assess the ability of the man who has
ridden Spirit Dancer in his last 14 starts, 26-year-old Oisin Orr.

Sir Alex Ferguson Cont.
"The jockey is very calm. He's a very composed lad. He doesn't
panic," says Ferguson. "I said to him in Bahrain--it was a big racefor him and he is quiet and unassuming--and I said, 'One thing I
am going to tell you is, see that Frankel, he will never let you
down. He'll run up a mountain for you.'"
The image of Frankel winning the 2,000 Guineas remains at
the forefront of Ferguson's mind as he reminisces about thegreat horse's dominance at Newmarket that day.
"I think in sport one superstar comes along every four or five
years," he says. "You get an exceptional horse--a Frankel, aConstitution Hill, or going way back, Arkle or Shergar. It's likethat with players--like [Paul] Gascoigne, who was anunbelievable kid. He was one of the best English players, after
Bobby Charlton, without question. You get exceptional players,
like Ronaldo and Messi, and sport does that, you know."
Ferguson is clearly still buoyed by the events of last weekend
and he delights in recounting that Spirit Dancer's groom, Hayley
Irvine, won the equivalent of ,4,000 after being awarded World
Pool's Moment of the Day. "And she gets married in two weeks'time," he says.
He and his partners weren't the only ones to revel in Spirit
Dancer's success, however.

FRIDAY • 01 MARCH 2024

"It was amazing, the number of Manchester United fans in
Bahrain and Saudi," Ferguson says. "It was incredible. I came outof my bedroom early one morning in Bahrain and there wereabout 20 kids in the foyer waiting for me. They put two security
guards outside my door. You always have to give autographs
and photographs to kids, and they were there every morning,
and when we won in Bahrain they were cheering like hell as if
we'd scored a goal. It was really good, it was impressive, and it
cheered me up."
The last comment is all the more poignant for Spirit Dancer's
Bahrain victory coming a little over a month after the death of
his wife of 57 years, Lady Cathy Ferguson.
He continues, "Through my life I have always tried to keep myfeet on the ground but there are occasions when it takes you,like the reception we got in Bahrain and the other day [inRiyadh]."Breeders will tell you that winning a race is even sweeter witha homebred. Ferguson's own path into breeding racehorses has
been guided by his bloodstock advisor Alan Perry and by Gregand Lottie Parsons, the owners of Upperwood Farm Stud near
Hemel Hempstead, where Spirit Dancer's dam, Queen's Dream(Ger) (Oasis Dream {GB}) is a permanent boarder. Cont. p6

Sir Alex Ferguson cont.
"We bought Queen's Dream from Andreas Wohler and Alan
Perry recommended that we send her to Hemel Hempstead.
Alan worked for Juddmonte for a few years and he talked theminto taking the mare for Frankel. Alan has done a great job
there, and so have Greg and Lottie Parsons. It's a lovely, quiet
operation in the middle of nowhere almost, and they've been
great. The mare has had six foals for me now," he says.
"We have [three-year-old] Road To Wembley--a really nicename--with Richard Hughes and then there's a really nice horse,
Hampden Park--another nice name--with Andrew Balding. He
got a knee knock and was sidelined for a couple of months but
he's now back in training and I'm going down there soon to see
him. Andrew is very excited about him and he won very nicely at

FRIDAY • 01 MARCH 2024

Ascot.
"Her two-year-old by Masar is a bit weak at the moment so
we'll give him a bit of time, and that's what Greg is really goodat. He's so patient."
Ferguson admits that at the age of 82 he is unlikely to expand
his breeding interests, but there is still much to look forward towithin Spirit Dancer's own family.
"We had a foal last week by Stradivarius and it's great to havea filly. She's quite petite. I just have to make my mind up who
the mare is going to this year," he says.
"To be honest I didn't know what I was getting into, but when I
went to the stud and met them I was very impressed with thecare that they take with their horses. It's worked very well."Ever questioning the psychological aspect of sport, Ferguson
discussed last Saturday's race with his trainer on Sunday
morning and asked Fahey if he thought that Spirit Dancer knew
he had won.
"He told me, 'Absolutely, they know they've beaten otherhorses.' I think they must know what they're doing, and Richard
has a good point when he says that when Spirit Dancer wins it
does something for him," says Ferguson.
"It's the same for me. Whenever I go racing it does a lot forme. I never expected that the horse would be as good as this.
And he's getting better. I don't know how far he's going to go.
We're going to Dubai now and he must have a chance.@ Cont. p7

Sir Alex Ferguson Cont.
He says, AHe's not shown any weakness at all. He went by
Luxembourg and the second horse [Killer Ability] and they were
never going to catch him."
It's addictive, winning, and it is something Ferguson became
accustomed to during his 26 years with Manchester United. In
Spirit Dancer, the horse he has been associated with since hisbirth, by one of the greatest equine winning machines of alltime, he has found the perfect conduit for that addiction.

Kitty Rose cont. from p1
Lupini told TDN Europe, "Kitty Rose has been sold [by former
owner Nigel O'Hare] to a new owner but she stays in the yard.
She will stay with us for the spring but she might head toAustralia towards the end of the year. It is great news that she
will stay with us for a few runs at least before heading toAustralia. We're really excited and very grateful to the newowners for giving us the chance to train her for her next coupleof races at least."
She added, "We were just speaking with the owners during theweek and they are keen to run in the 1,000 Guineas at
Newmarket. We are aiming for the Irish 1,000 Guineas Trial on
April 7 at Leopardstown first. After that, we can make a decision
on Newmarket."
Lupini enjoyed her greatest ever tally of domestic winners lastterm. The Milan native sent out 16 winners from 102 runners.
The figure stood at 14 wins from 56 runners the previous year.
Prior to that, Lupini's greatest number of five wins was posted in
2021.

Things have been progressing nicely and top-notch breeze-up
handler and respected pre-trainer Robson Aguiar was showeredwith praise by the trainer for pointing her in the direction of
Kitty Rose.
Lupini explained, "We bought Kitty Rose from Robson Aguiar
last year. We try to work closely with him and, for the past few
seasons, we have bought a few horses from him. We get great
feedback from Robson and we usually go to him with a plan. We
have some new owners who have really embraced this new
venture with us. He's a very good person to deliver exactly what
an owner wants, be that a handicapper or a Group performer.
He's able to say exactly what he thinks about each horse andthen to put a price on it. Thankfully, Kitty Rose turned out to bevery good. The relationship is working well."Away from Kitty Rose, there is plenty to look forward to for
Lupini and her team, with a record number of juveniles in thesystem and high-class older horse Dunum (Ire) (Ivawood {Ire})
pencilled in for a trip to Royal Ascot. Cont. p8

"Among the mares in foal are a winning sister to top-class
two-year-old Anjaal and a Stakes producing daughter ofAcclamation. He has a very good first book of mares and we
couldn't be more grateful for the support that we have received
from European breeders."

NEW EQUINE ANTI-DOPING AND
MEDICATION CONTROL INITIATIVELAUNCHED BY BHA AND IHRB
A new equine anti-doping and medication control initiative
was announced by the British Horseracing Authority (BHA) andthe Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board (IHRB) on Thursday. The
initiative underpins their commitment to the regulation of
medicine use and zero tolerance of doping in horse racing on
both sides of the Irish Sea.
The IHRB and BHA are now formally conducting joint out-ofcompetition-testing operations across both jurisdictions. These
inspections started this week with almost 250 samples takenfrom more than 120 horses that are entered for the upcoming
Cheltenham Festival in an operation across 14 training premises
in Ireland over the last two days.
In Ireland, the organisations will work together and operate
under IHRB Standard Operating Procedures, and all samples will
be considered as IHRB samples. BHA protocols will be in effectwhen the BHA and IHRB are working together in the UK, andthey will be under BHA jurisdiction. In both instances, there willbe transparent exchange of any adverse results or screening
findings that arise from these tests, with all samples being
tested by LGC Laboratory, one of six laboratories worldwide
which is recognised as a referenced laboratory by theInternational Federation of Horseracing Authorities (IFHA).
Dr Lynn Hillyer, chief veterinary officer for the IHRB, said, ATheIHRB Strategy 2024-2027 commits us to close engagement withinternational horseracing bodies and benchmarking ourselves
against best international practice. This new venture shows
stakeholders and the racing public that we collaborate asprofessionals across both sides of the Irish Sea, sharing bestpractice and resources and demonstrating equally stringent
regulatory processes and standards to the extent that ouranti-doping and medication control programmes areinteroperable.@
James Given, director of Equine Regulation, Safety andWelfare, said, ANot only will our Medication Control andAnti-Doping (MCAD) team have access to more information
about visiting horses, but there will be opportunities for our
wider team to share ideas and best practice in other areas of
our work.@
