AS SHORT FIELDSPROLIFERATE, IT'S TIME TO
GO BACK TO CIRCUITSGARGAN SAYS DORNOCH DOING BETTER
THAN EVER, HASKELL IS NEXTby Bill Finley
There were three different winners of the Triple Crown races
and the four Grade I preps leading up to the GI Kentucky Derby
were won by still four other horses. That means that as thesecond half of the 3-year-old season starts in earnest with theJuly 20 GI Haskell Stakes at Monmouth, the race for the 3-yearold championship is as wide open as possible.
Danny Gargan, the trainer of GI Belmont Stakes winner
Dornoch (Good Magic), knows that. But Gargan, who has neverlacked confidence in his 3-year-old colt, is optimistic that his
horse will show that he=s the best of the best and will make thatstatement in the Haskell.

The Week in Review by Bill Finley
The Boiling Springs Stakes at Monmouth, scheduled to be run
Sunday, is contested annually at a mile-and-one-sixteenth on
the turf and is for 3-year-old fillies. With those conditions, it
should be an easy race to fill. Not this year. The racing office did
not get enough entries and the race was scrapped.
Not that any of this should come as a surprise. There is a glutof racing in the Mid-Atlantic states. When Colonial Downs opens
on July 11, there will be eight Mid-Atlantic tracks running withina range of 400 miles. That=s simply too much, and the result is
too many small fields. When it comes down to it, horse racing is
a product and too often the product we are offering toconsumers simply isn=t any good.
For many of racing=s problems, there really aren=t any viable
solutions. But with this there is a relatively easy fix. Turn backthe clock and return to the days when tracks cooperated with
one another and formed circuits. Combine two horse
populations at one racetrack and the end result will be muchbetter racing, bigger fields and a healthy increase in handle.
The tracks most in need of a break are the ones in Maryland.
They do well in the late fall, winter and early spring when thereis less competition, but the summer cards at Laurel more often
than not are lacking. Cont. Pg. 3

Yes, Delaware and Maryland horsemen will have fewer
opportunities at their own tracks, but the consolidation of racing
dates should yield significant purse increases. Every track in the
Mid-Atlantic region receives either direct payments from slot
machines, Historical Horse Racing Machines or government
subsidies. That money makes up a large portion of the purse
funds and it=s not going anywhere. The purse pie stays the same,but the slices become bigger when they are divided up amongst
fewer races.
The same type of compromises could be worked out between
Colonial and the MTROA.
The other circuit that makes sense is Parx-Monmouth. Parx
races year-round while the Monmouth meet this year isscheduled to run from May 11 to September 15. Cut the
Monmouth schedule to run from Memorial Day to Labor Day
and let Parx have the rest of the calendar. Both tracks race only
three days a week and by joining forces, they likely could add atleast one more day of racing.

management teams at these racetracks, as well as thehorsemen=s groups. It=s never easy to get so many factions on

Mischief River | Benoit

A Quarter Horse Trainers Shows How to Get It
Done
Despite some quick workouts, a $650,000 price tag at OBS
April and a stellar pedigree, the bettors largely ignored Mischief
River (Into Mischief) in Saturday=s first race at Los Alamitos. It=seasy to see why. Probably very few bettors had ever heard of his
trainer Jimmy Glenn Jr., and that=s because he is a Quarter
Horse trainer. But Glenn and his partner Chris Galpin decided
they wanted to take a crack at winning some big Thoroughbredraces and they bought two horses at the OBS sale. The other is a
so-far-unraced filly by Frosted who cost $150,000.
It=s not easy to make such a quick transition from one breed tothe other and Glenn also had to worry about a Bob Baffert firsttime starter named Privman (Justify) who was made the evenmoney favorite. But Privman was no match for Mischief River,
who beat the favorite by 1 1/2 lengths.
AThe race speaks for itself,@ Glenn said. AAnd it worked out
better than I could have imagined. We were really happy andfelt so blessed that it worked out the way it did. I know Bob(Baffert) has a lot of class horses, but we felt like we had a goodhorse. It was fun to compete at that level with those guys. He=sa really good horse and they are hard to find.@
Glenn said the Aug. 11 GIII Best Pal Stakes at Del Mar will be
next and he hopes to go from there to the GI Del Mar Futurity
on Sept. 8.

Kingsbarns Finally Living Up To His Potential
When Kingsbarns (Uncle Mo) won his first three starts,
including the GII Louisiana Derby, he appeared to be a horsethat was well on his way to stardom. But he finished 14th in the
GI Kentucky Deny and then was beaten as the 1-2 favorite in thePegasus Stakes at Monmouth. That was his last start of the year.

MONDAY • JULY 1, 2024

TDN HEADLINE NEWS • PAGE 6 OF 9 • THETDN.COM

Trained by Todd Pletcher, he picked things up this year,
winning an allowance and then the GIII Ben Ali Stakes. Off thateffort, he was made the 7-10 favorite in the GIII Pimlico Special
but finished second, seemingly losing his momentum.
He was starting to take on the reputation of an underachiever
but that all changed Saturday at Churchill Downs, where he won
his first Grade I race in the $1 million Stephen Foster Stakes,
which lured a quality field.
AObviously winning a Grade I is a tremendous
accomplishment,@ Pletcher said. AI think we've seen this year
he's been able to settle better than when he was a 3-year-old
and show that new dimension. He sat a perfect trip today andreally kicked well when turning for home.@
The older male handicap division is wide open, and Kingsbarns
now belongs in the conversation when it comes to the best
horses in his division.

Fresh off a spectacular four-timer during the prestigious Royal
Ascot meeting, Wathnan Racing--the horse racing operation of
the Emir of Qatar Sheikh Tamim Al-Thani--saw its blue-and-tan
colors cross the line first and second, respectively, in Sunday's
Hanshin Stakes by the progressive Cagliostro and Tumbarumba,
each acquired by Wathnan over the last several months.
Placed in last year's GIII Indiana Derby and GIII Smarty Jones S.
and fifth in the GIII Oklahoma Derby for a partnership includingWest Point and David Ingordo, Cagliostro narrowly annexed atwo-turn Keeneland allowance in April before changing hands.
Making his first start for Wathnan, but still under the care of
Cherie DeVaux in the June 1 GIII Blame S., the bay colt carried a
daylight advantage into the final furlong before being run downlate by Godolphin's promising Highland Falls (Curlin).
With 'TDN Rising Star' Extra Anejo (Into Mischief) taking thelion's share of the action, Cagliostro was no better than the third
betting favorite and broke running from a wide alley while
cutting back in trip and sat just outside the rail-skimming 'RisingStar' and defending champion Zozos (Munnings) and Extra Anejo
through sound fractions of :23.09 and :46.09.

Cagliostro | Coady MediaHaving become registered owners in England just over a year
ago, Wathnan Racing--advised by Richard Brown and Olly Tait-had a week for the ages during the Royal meeting, particularly
with their 2-year-olds. The operation won the G2 Norfolk Stakeswith American-bred Shareholder (Not This Time), the G2 Queen
Mary Stakes with Leovanni (Ire) (Kodi Bear {Ire}), the G3 Jersey
Stakes with Haatem (Ire) (Phoenix of Spain {Ire}) and thevaluable Buckingham Palace Stakes Handicap with English Oak(GB) (Wootton Bassett {GB}). Their other American interests
include Subsanador (Arg) (Fortify), acquired following hisrunner-up effort in the GI Santa Anita Handicap.
A 16th stakes winner for his Airdrie Stud-based stallion,
Cagliostro is out of a half-sister to Water White (Conveyance), a
stakes winner and third in the GI Acorn S. in 2020. The dam of
the 2-year-old colt Hey Finch (Bucchero), A Rosefor Isabelle wasmost recently covered by City of Light. --@EquinealTDN

Vodka With a Twist | Coady Media

Freshman sire Thousand Words (by Pioneerof the Nile)
collected the first stakes win of his promising stud career, as
Vodka With a Twist clinked her glass after getting her picture
taken in the Debutante Stakes on closing day at Churchill Downs.

SUNDAY • JULY 1, 2024

The former charge of Jason McCutchen broke her maiden
under his tutelage at second asking over a sloppy course under
the Twin Spires May 17. With her new barn and as the 6-5
choice here, Vodka With a Twist got down to business from thebell by blazing a trail up the backstretch. Despite some mildpressure around the far turn, the filly had more to give as she
confidently crossed the wire three lengths ahead of So There
She Was.
One of 123 foals of racing age for her Spendthrift-basedstallion, the winner is the last registered offspring of Bourbon
With a Kiss. Vodka With a Twist's second dam, SW French Dip(Speightstown), is a half-sister to MGSW/MGISP Midcourt(Midnight Lute). Click for the Equibase.com chart or VIDEO,

Bashford Manor Stakes cont.
As a 7-1 shot here, the juvenile trailed from the bell this time,
but the fractions through the far turn were stiff enough thatmounting a charge was feasible. Running on down the center ofthe main track after the leaders were spent, the colt sailed
home a no-question stakes hero.
The winner's dam was bred back-to-back to Tom's d'Etat
starting in 2022 which so far has yielded a colt who is now a
yearling. Politically Correct's second dam, Japanese multiple

Since winning the GIII Endeavour Stakes over the Tampa grass
Feb. 3, Walkathon missed by a neck in the GIII Honey Fox Stakes
at Gulfstream Park Mar. 2, and then finished a well-beaten fifth
in both in the GI Jenny Wiley Stakes at Keeneland Apr. 13 andthe GII Distaff Turf Mile at Churchill Downs on the Derby
undercard.
The 3-1 second choice here challenged for the lead passing the
grandstand for the first time and won that battle heading into
the first turn. Controlling the tempo up the backstretch andaround the far turn, the 5-year-old hugged the rail in front at the
top of the lane. Asked for more speed, she responded and wasable to hold on for another stakes win.
Walkathon is the first registered foal for her dam, who is also
responsible for 2-year-old colt Pitkin (Nyquist) and a yearling filly
named Paseo (Mendelssohn). She foaled a filly by Omaha Beach
Apr. 26. The winner hails from an extended female family which
includes GI Breeders' Cup Classic hero Fort Larned (E Dubai), her
third dam dual champion Bayakoa (Arg) (Consultant's Bid) and
MGISW Affluent (Affirmed). Click for the Equibase.com chart or

to be better suited by this test particularly after all the rain on
Saturday and enjoyed the perfect trip under Ryan Moore
tracking the stable=s two pace-setters. Briefly swamped by the 64 market-leader Ambiente Friendly approaching two out, Los
Angeles was back alongside as they went toe-to-toe to thefurlong pole and from there his excess stamina told.
At the line, the winner had 3/4 of a length to spare overSunway (Fr) (Galiway {GB}), with Ambiente Friendly emptying to
be a further half length behind in third. There was just a neck to
the race=s hard-luck story in fourth, with the unexposed Matsuri(GB) (Sea The Stars {Ire}) denied a clear run for virtually all of
the last three furlongs. This race came down to who could
expend his energy in the right way throughout and Los Angeles
proved as tailor-made to the Curragh as it looked he would be
beforehand.

THE CLASSICS: CONNECTED BY CENTURIES -AND BETFRED by Paul Hayward
In the 1960s British racing had the chance to own bookmaking.
But it's happening the other way round. Bookmakers are moving
closer to owning racing.
Betfred's headline sponsorship of all five Classics - the 1,000
and 2,000 Guineas, Derby, Oaks and St Leger - from 2025 ismanna to racecourse execs whose job it is to find backers formarquee events. With the Qatar-owned Qipco stepping backfrom sponsorship of the Guineas meeting and King George at
Ascot from next year (they're maintaining their support forChampions Day), the prestige of funding the five Classics passes
to the most self-made of bookies.
And there is more. Betfred will offer a ,2m bonus for winningthe colts' Triple Crown - the 2,000 Guineas, Derby and St Leger.

we will see how he is when he gets home.@David Menuisier said of Sunway, AThat is the third Classic I am
losing by less than a length this season, so I=m used to it now. I=m
delighted with the horse, because we have always thought theworld of him and people had lost faith in him--today he reallyvindicated himself and showed he is a real class act."

MONDAY • 1 JULY 2024

"He got hampered at the start of the French Derby and wasnearly brought down. He was closing really fast and only beaten
three-quarters of a length for fourth. The ground was tacky andhe did something special that day and I think people didn=t givehim credit for that. If the owners agree he could well go theLeger and we could well have a top stayer on our hands.@
Roger Varian was left to mull over an unfortunate trip for the
Leicester novice winner Matsuri, whose addition to this field was
fully justified. AHe ran a great race and confirmed he is a very
good horse,@ he said. AWe thought that coming into the race andit is pleasing to see him hold his own and maybe we can think ofwhat could have been if we had got a cleaner passage.

but I don=t think we got the room to run when we needed it.
That=s racing and he ran a fine race and hopefully he is okay

Paul Hayward, cont. from p1
Offering a bonanza for something that has not been done
since 1970 is not the riskiest move a layer has ever made. But ina week when racing lamented the BBC Radio 4 Today
programme's decision to drop racing tips from its hourly sportsbulletins (except for the biggest fixtures), adding glamour - andcash - to the Triple Crown was hardly likely to foment
discontent.
Fred Done, Betfred's chairman, set out with his brother Peterin the 1960s - the decade in which Britain passed up the chance
to enforce a totalisator system and instead licensed High Street
bookmakers.
The brothers shared a bed until they were 15 in Ordsall,known as the "slums of Salford." Both left school at 15 without
qualifications and found their vocation in the new betting shopsof the time. Their first outlet was part-funded by a successful
bet on Alf Ramsey's team to win the 1966 World Cup.
"We upped our game, we had carpets," Peter Done recalled, in
a BBC series offering tips from chief executives.

MONDAY • 1 JULY 2024

The Dones would call their customers 'Sir' and congratulatethem when they won. Five decades on, Betfred have 1,432
betting shops and "800,000 active customers." In May last year
The Sunday Times Rich List valued the brothers' wealth at ,1.87
billion - 93rd on the list.
"I want to put the British Classics back where they belong, at
the forefront of global horseracing," Fred Done said. Nobody
would contest that aim. Plainly though the tie-up confers PR
benefits. In July last year Betfred paid the Gambling Commission,3.25m after an investigation found failures in their social
responsibility and anti-money laundering procedures. In one
case "safer gambling interactions" had not applied to a punter
who staked ,517,499 in two months.
Coolmore have displayed a creditable urge to add a Triple
Crown to their roster of historic feats and records. In 2012
Camelot came close to emulating Nijinsky, the last horse to tickoff all those disparate tests, 54 years ago. Before Nijinsky, you
had to scroll back to Bahram in 1935. The colts' Triple Crown isto racing what 1966 has become to the England football team:more demon, than mere itch.
For publicity generation, it works well enough, and Coolmore,
who still believe in the dream, were within their rights towelcome the extra two-mil they would harvest for their
troubles. Cont.

TDN EUROPE • PAGE 7 OF 15 • THETDN.COM

MONDAY • 1 JULY 2024

A more startling aspect is what the Betfred deal says about
racing's power balance. The direction of travel is bookmaking
not 'supporting' live racing so much as financing much of it
directly, not through the levy, where it defends its piletenaciously, but as the impresario. Only 0.6% of betting turnoverin the UK is returned to racing, compared to 8.6% in France and16.6% in Japan.
So when a big bookmaker plays the glamour shot of fixing its
name to our five most famous races, everyone can sleep easy
for a while, knowing the bills are paid. The peace though is
disturbed by a nagging thought: who will own the sport 10 years
from now, and what are the conflicts of interest?

Betfred has added the Guineas to its sponsorship of the Derby,
Oaks and St Leger

The Betfred bonus is not available to fillies, perhaps because
Oh So Sharp completed it as recently as 1985. The Weatherbys
Hamilton Stayers' Million bonus was discontinued in 2019 after
Stradivarius won it two years running. These prizes are
sometimes meant to remain unclaimed.
With his Triple Crown bounty, Done, who already called
himself 'The Bonus King,' found a handy synergy. Far moresignificant is his overarching sponsorship of all five Classics,
which will calm nerves at Newmarket, Epsom and Doncaster. To
think racegoers will attach importance to a prefix on a big racename is fanciful, but there is now consistency, at least: a sensethat all five races are connected, which they are, by two and ahalf centuries. They are the foundations of Thoroughbred
breeding and history.
Bookmaker sponsorship of races has become inherent. It's
entirely routine to see Sky Bet, Bet 365, Betway or Unibet in arace title. There was a curse of "Download the app" being added
to make some of the race names read like essays. These longmonikers have buried many a race's identity.

GRAND PRIX GLORY FOR DUBAI HONOUR
by Tom Frary
The G1 Grand Prix de Saint-Cloud is often a battle of thestalwarts, those that fall a notch under the elite, and it was theturn of Dubai Honour (Ire) (Pride Of Dubai {Aus}--Mondelice{GB}, by Montjeu {Ire}) to enjoy his moment in the European
limelight after Sunday=s renewal. Running over a barely-tried
mile and a half having finished third over the trip last time in theG2 Grand Prix de Chantilly, Mohamed Obaida=s 6-year-old wasburied under cover early by Tom Marquand awaiting the
instruction.
Given the office approaching the furlong pole, the William
Haggas-trained 7-1 shot took the measure of Feed The Flame(GB) (Kingman {GB}) from there to score by 1 3/4 lengths, with
Point Lonsdale (Ire) (Australia {GB}) a further neck away in third.
This was a first European top-level win for Dubai Honour, whose
career before Sunday had been largely defined by a purple
patch at Randwick last spring when landing the Ranvet-Queen
Elizabeth Stakes group 1 double. He had only been tried inEurope four times subsequently, with his last effort at this levelon the continent resulting in an off-the-board run in Ascot=sChampion Stakes that he had been second in as a 3-year-old.

HENRI MATISSE NOTCHES RECORDEQUALLING 14th RAILWAY FOR AIDANO=BRIEN by Sean Cronin
Ballydoyle representative Henri Matisse (Ire) (Wootton

O=Brien alongside legendary former Ballydoyle incumbent
Vincent O=Brien on the honours board.
The Aug. 10 G1 Phoenix Stakes and Sept. 15 G1 Vincent
O=Brien National Stakes entry was sluggish from the traps andtrailed all four rivals through the initial fractions of this blacktype bow. Coming under pressure to reduce arrears soon after
passing halfway, the 8-1 outsider-of-five made relentlessheadway inside the final quarter-mile and kept on powerfully todeny British raider The Strikin Viking (Ire) (Inns Of Court {Ire})by a half-length nearing the line. The duo finished 3 1/4 lengths
clear of the G3 Marble Hill Stakes victor and G2 Norfolk Stakes
third Arizona Blaze (GB) (Sergei Prokofiev), who kept on wellonce headed to hold Henri Matisse=s stablemate Tunbridge
Wells (Ire) (No Nay Never) by a head for third.
Henri Matisse has some illustrious hoofprints to follow, withthe stable=s roll of honour including subsequent Classic winners

babyish to go to [Royal] Ascot and Wayne [Lordan] said he=s stilla bit babyish,@ the winning trainer commented. AHe said he=ll
love going up to seven [furlongs] and we might go up to sevennext. We=re delighted with him and we=ll see what=s there forthe [six-furlong G1] Phoenix Stakes. It was hard to assess him

Havana Grey | Whitsbury Manor StudIt was the latter, with her tactical speed a key factor here, whoclaimed bragging rights for the sophomore generation and madeall to register a belated first black-type triumph. Three Havanas,a Henk Grewe trainee, was greased lightning from the outsidegate and seized an immediate lead. In command throughout andclear by halfway, the 33-10 second choice was stirred into action
passing the two pole and kept on strongly in the latter stages to
comforably hold the stakes-placed Armira (Ger) (Muhaarar{GB}) by 1 1/2 lengths. Sea The Lady fared best of the remainderand ran on well inside the final quarter-mile to finish 2 3/4
lengths further adrift in third. The winner=s former stablemate

DEAUVILLE NEXT FOR RASHABAR AFTERPOIGNANT ROYAL ASCOT SUCCESSThe G1 Prix Morny at Deauville on Sunday, August 18 has been
identified as the "obvious target" for Rashabar (Ire) (HolyRoman Emperor {Ire}) after he defied odds of 80-1 to gain a firstcareer victory in the G2 Coventry Stakes at Royal Ascot.
Beaten in two previous starts at Newbury and Chester,Rashabar found significant improvement to come out on top in afield of 22 for Ascot's premier two-year-old contest, showing agood attitude to hold on by a nose having raced away from theother principals.
It was a poignant win for Sam Sangster--manager for owners
Manton Thoroughbreds--as Rashabar carried the famous colours
which once belonged to his father, Robert Sangster, whoenjoyed top-level success with star names such as The Minstrel,
Golden Fleece and Rodrigo De Triano. Cont.

Rashabar pulls clear of his group at Ascot | Getty Images"It was an incredible day and a proud moment for me to havea winner on the big stage in dad's silks," Sangster summed up.
"It was a very special moment to have that winner knowing
what those colours mean to people both inside and outside ofracing.
"The warmth I felt from inside the racing community and thoseoutside was something very, very special and something I willremember for the rest of my life."
Reflecting on Rashabar's performance, Sangster added, "Itcame as a surprise, but it wasn't a surprise at the same time. We
went into the race full of confidence, really from Newbury [ondebut], that he was the right sort of horse for the race.
"Everything at Chester didn't really go to plan with the draw
and the way he was slowly away, but he did the fastest sectionalin the final furlong. Sean Levey made an interesting point thatgoing round Chester is like having two runs and he was quite
right as the horse came on mentally. As long as Brian [Meehan,trainer] and the team were happy, it was always all systems go."It's been 10 years since The Wow Signal (Ire)(Starspangledbanner {Aus}) became the last winner of theCoventry to follow up in the Prix Morny, but Meehan certainly
knows what calibre of horse it takes to win the race having beensuccessful with Bad As I Wanne Be (Ire) in 2000 and Arcano (Ire)2009.
"Rashabar gets a free entry into the Phoenix Stakes and he hasan entry in the National Stakes, but for me the obvious target,
all being well, is to go to France for the Prix Morny," said
Sangster.
"He carries the French premiums, so you are talking about avery big pot, and it is a well-known stomping ground for horsesthat have come out of the Coventry. It is also a stallion-making
race, which is what we are dreaming of with him."
