TRACK by Tim Wilkin
SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. -- It was quiet trackside at Saratoga
Race Course Friday morning. Everyone had a day off after the
New York Racing Association canceled Friday=s card afterThursday=s was run. The reason was the havoc expected to blow
through the area thanks to the remnants of Tropical Storm
Debby. The heavy stuff was predicted to come later in theafternoon.
Horses, however, did not get the memo. They still went towork. As did the trainers and exercise riders and grooms andhotwalkers.
ANo days off,@ Hall of Fame trainer Todd Pletcher said at hisbarn on the Oklahoma Training Track Friday morning.

Touchy outside stablemate Ministerial | Sarah Andrew

by Alan Carasso
Three Chimneys Farm's Touchy (Nyquist) would go heavily
favored in any maiden race at the Spa, but connections continue
to campaign the homebred colt boldly as he remains in stakes
company for his second career appearance in Saturday's GII
Saratoga Special Stakes.
The bay colt was bet down to 85 cents on the dollar for his
debut in the June 6 Tremont Stakes on the first day of theBelmont Stakes Racing Festival at this venue, and he made themajority of the running before giving way late to be second
behind the upset-minded Studlydoright (Nyquist). The latterfranked the form with a runner-up effort in the GIII Sanford
Stakes July 13 and it will be no surprise if Touchy sees off his
rivals in this spot. Blinkers come off the 5-2 morning-line
favorite.
Keep It Easy (Hard Spun) took some nibbles, but was no better
than a fading seventh when drawn the fence on Churchill
unveiling June 6, but he showed much sharper gate speed froman outside alley June 27 and wired his field by four lengths, goodfor a competitive 79 Beyer. He has the nine hole on Saturday.
AI think this is a good spot. He is a good horse,@ said Dale

Graded Preview, cont. from p1
APhysically, he is a big, strong, pretty horse. He was a pretty
horse at the yearling sale when we bought him. He justcontinues to get better. He is a good workhorse and a goodhorse all around.@Godolphin's First Resort (Uncle Mo), a son of GI La Brea Stakes
heroine Fair Maiden (Street Boss), caught a muddy Ellis main
track for his July 5 bow and argued the pace before drawing
clear to score by daylight. The in-form Flavien Prat takes over at
the controls.
When Kevin Rice sends one over it is often foolish to be too
dismissive of his chances. Good Directions (Liam's Map) was
visually impressive in graduating by 3 1/4 lengths over the
Presque Isle Tapeta July 8 and was back on two week's rest,
blowing the break before finishing off well for second in Ellis
allowance company. In a race with a ton of early speed, he cantake ground off them late.

Baffert 'Rising Star' Duo Battle In Sorrento
Trainer Bob Baffert is the winningest trainer in the history of
the GIII Sorrento Stakes, with seven victories to his credit, but
Pretty N Cool (Scat Daddy) gave him the most recent of his
successes back in 2015. That somewhat surprising dry streak
looks all but certain to end when the conditioner saddles the top
two choices--each a 'TDN Rising Star'--in Saturday's six-furlong
contest.
Nooni (Win Win Win) was pounded into 1-5 favoritism for her
June 13 unveiling at Santa Anita, having fetched a sales-topping$1.8 million from Donato Lanni on behalf of owner Amr Zedan at
this year's OBS March Sale. And it turned out to be the easiest
20% return on investment you could imagine, as she galloped toa 9 1/2-length victory while never out of second gear.

earning a 73 Beyer Speed Figure that is just five points inferior
to her stable companion.
While the two Bafferts should dominate the market, each of
the other three entrants has numbers that could figure with a

Cogburn Has Field Over a Barrel In Troy
As of this writing, it waits to be seen whether Saturday's
GII Troy Stakes remains on the Mellon Turf Course, and if so,they'll all be running for second if the Cogburn (Not This Time)of late shows up.
The 5-year-old gained his first graded win in a soft-turf
renewal of this race 12 months ago and exits that record-setting
effort in the GI Jaipur Stakes June 8, where he ran the 5 1/2
furlongs in :59.80. Even if the race is transferred to the main
track, they'll still have him to beat, as he amassed a record of 32-0 from eight dirt starts prior to his metamorphosis.

AWrong industry to be in if you are in the days off business.@
Although the activity was not as brisk as it would be on a sunnysummer afternoon, horses still could be seen on the main track
and Oklahoma going through daily exercise. Pletcher said thehorses in his care that were scheduled to gallop on Friday did
just that. Because of the conditions, there were no works andany horses scheduled to school in the gate had that canceled.
Pletcher=s hopeful for the GI Travers Stakes --Fierceness (Cityof Light)--had his work moved to Thursday.
AWe generally go ahead and gallop as long as it=s safe,@
Pletcher said. AThis morning, the track held its consistency, so
we did some routine gallops. Get >em out, get >em back in.@

Pletcher had seven horses (one main track only) entered infive races on the Friday card, including Donegal Surges (Candy
Ride), the 5-2 morning-line favorite in the featured $125,000
Evan Shipman Handicap.
Pletcher, like everyone else, will have to wait and see what isdone with these races.
ASure, it=s frustrating,@ he said. AWe were sitting on a handfulof favorites. It=s a tough situation for everyone when you try to
predict what the weather will do in advance like this.@
Rain fell overnight, but from early morning to 2 p.m., there
was little that fell in Saratoga Springs. The forecast did call forheavy rain to hit by 3 p.m.

Thursday Was A Special Spa Day For Donk After
Getting To Winner=s Circle Twice

Dallas Stewart on Thursday at Saratoga | Sarah Andrew

Back in 2020, the year of COVID, trainer David Donk had hisbest day at Saratoga when he won three races. But, because of
the pandemic, no fans were around to see it.
He had another good one on Thursday, winning a pair of races
and, this time, he had plenty of witnesses.
Donk was in the winner=s circle after 2-year-old filly Trail ofGold (Solomoni) broke her maiden in the first race at 7-2 withHall of Famer John Velazquez on board. Donk got there again in
the ninth when Irad Ortiz Jr. got 4-year-old filly Fancypants
Juliana (Mo Town, 7-1) home in a race taken off the grass.
In 26 starts at Saratoga, Donk has three wins, two seconds andfour thirds.
AIt=s hard to win one at Saratoga, let alone two,@ Donk said

EVIDENT IN THIN WHITE DUKE'S CAREER

Sarah Andrew

Donk has been training on his own since 1991; he was an
assistant to the late Hall of Famer Woody Stephens before that.
Donk=s barn at Saratoga is the same one Stephens had.
Trail of Gold=s win was special because the filly is owned byfriends and family, many who Donk has been associated with foryears. Donk owns a piece of the horse as does his dad, Gerald.
Others involved with the filly are John T. Behrendt, Charles K.
Marquis, William J. Punk Jr., Philip DiLeo, Peter Hayes andSuzanne K. Haslup. Joseph Bucci is the owner of Fancypants
Juliana.
AI just really enjoy being at Saratoga,@ Donk said. AI like toenjoy this with other people. Joer (Bucci) could not be here but
he typical of most owners. Loves Saratoga, loves to be able torun here. It=s a lot of fun for all of them.@
Donk, as usual, was sporting a New York Jets baseball cap
when he had his pictures taken. He said he has been a diehard
Jets fans since the day of quarterback Joe Namath. He is not
sure what to expect from his team in this NFL season.

by Katie Petrunyak
The walls of David Donk's stable in Saratoga can't talk, butthere are two horsemen spending their mornings there thissummer who have plenty of memories to share about the barnat the top of the far turn that once housed five consecutive
Belmont Stakes winners. Donk and Phil Gleaves, a former trainer
who now runs a small racing partnership, were both assistanttrainers to legendary Hall of Fame trainer Woody Stephens early
on in their careers and they still have stories to tell from thebarn where Woody once based his stable.
Like how Gleaves, a native of Liverpool England, has always
been a massive Davie Bowie fan. One summer he took a
Greyhound bus from Saratoga to see the rockstar perform at
Madison Square Garden. He rode the bus back north afterward
and got to the barn at 4 a.m. the next morning with plenty oftime to spare before the first set.
Flash forward a few decades and Bowie was the inspiration fora horse that Gleaves bred, trained and still races today. Named
after one of the personas that Bowie adopted in concert, Thin
White Duke (Dominus) has proven to be a special horse for
Gleaves and his fellow co-owners: horseplayer and journalist
Steven Crist, Ken deRegt and Bryan Hilliard. And just like Bowie's
music career spanned multiple genres, Thin White Duke has
shown versatility racing on various surfaces. So whether thisweekend's GII Troy S. runs on the grass or the main track, the 6year-old's connections are confident that their horse will showup.
Becoming a breeder sort of fell into Gleaves's lap when his
longtime owner Russell Reineman--who he won the GI Travers
for with Wise Times in 1986--passed away. Reineman's family
asked Gleaves if he was interested in any of his broodmares
before they started downsizing.
AI looked at several and there was one that caught my eye withher pedigree being inbred to Danzig, who I had galloped for
Woody Stephens and was a tremendous racehorse and sire,@
Gleaves recalled. AShe was an unraced mare by Distorted
Humor, who I also trained early in his career."Cont.

Gleaves broke Thin White Duke himself in Ocala and thenbrought him up to Saratoga, where the New York-bred broke his
maiden in the 2020 Funny Cide Stakes as a 2-year-old. He won
another stake and placed in two more over the next year.

Donk.
AI've known David for a long time,@ said Gleaves. AWhen I left
Woody Stephens in '85 to train privately for Frank Stronach,David took my job. Over the years we have shared clients.
David's best horse was Awad and he sent him to me one winterin Gulfstream to babysit him because David wasn't going toFlorida that winter. We were fortunate enough to win a streakwith him down there. So we have a great relationship, David and
I. Just as importantly, he came from the Woody school ofwanting to run horses frequently if they were up to it. That's myphilosophy as well and so that was a big selling point for us as to
who to send our horses to.@Coming off a nine-month layoff, Thin White Duke returned to
the races in 2022. After one unsuccessful start on dirt, Donk
tried switching the gelding to turf. He won at 33-1 odds.
AHe had run on the grass before, but we just thought he wasgoing to be a better grass horse than a dirt horse,@ explained
Donk. AWe had a decision to make coming into Saratoga, as you
usually do with turf horses, about distance. You're either
choosing a five and a half furlong sprint or a two-turn mile ormile and a sixteenth. It's a big difference. Johnny Velazquez had
ridden him and we asked Johnny what he thought. He said weshould try to sprint him. The first time we sprinted him here, he
was off the pace and had a really big run. Cont.

TDN HEADLINE NEWS • PAGE 9 OF 11 • THETDN.COM

We were like, 'Wow, that's what he wants to do.' So it has justevolved from there. It's not that he can't run on the dirt, but he's
certainly shown that he's really proficient as an off-the-pacesprinter on the turf.@
In 36 lifetime starts, Thin White Duke has come in the money
19 times and amassed over $750,000 in career earnings. He hascollected stakes wins in the 2023 Lucky Coin Stakes and in thesame race in 2024 after it was re-named the Harvey Pack Stakes.
That score was especially meaningful for co-owner Steve Crist.
AWinning the Harvey Pack was phenomenal because it was thefirst running of the Harvey Pack and Steve came up under
Harvey Pack,@ said Gleaves. ASteve had come up under Harvey
Pack and they had been on the [Thoroughbred Action] replay
show many times back in the day, so it was very important for
Steve to be in the race and then to win it was just super.@Finding the right spot for Thin White Duke has proven to be achallenge this year. The gelding has yet to run in the money so
far in 2024, but Donk said that the races have not been
conducive to his horse's running style. Thin White Duke ran
eighth in the GI Jaipur, which Cogburn (Not This Time) won inrecord time. His next two races were also on fast, firm ground.
AWith his style, I feel like he's been up against it,@ said Donk.
AHe's run okay, but he hasn't had the same punch. But nothing
ventured, nothing gained. I think with the elements of theweather coming into play, it changes things up a bit.@Thin White Duke has placed third in the last two runnings ofthe GII Troy Stakes. This year's Troy was initially slated for
Saturday, Aug. 3 but was pushed back to the 10th due to heavy
rain. With a cancelled race card on Friday because of more badweather, Saturday's Troy will more than likely be run on themain track.
Donk said Thin White Duke has had no disruption to his
training with the week-long delay. If anything, it was beneficial
as it gave him extra time after his last race on July 28.

Phil Gleaves and Thin White Duke in 2020| Sarah Andrew

AHe was coming back really quickly so another week certainly
doesn't hurt us,@ he explained. AHe's not a horse that we have to
do a lot with. He's a happy horse. We're just trying to maintainhim in between. He's coming into it the right way and I think theelements of the weather will be different for some horses. If it'son the grass, it's going to be a bit on the soft side. If it comes off
the grass, he's got a record of running well on the dirt, so we'dbe pretty comfortable either way.@
Regardless, Donk will stick to his model of running a healthy
Thin White Duke regularly. It's the same philosophy he shareswith any of his new owners.
AI tell them that it's not just about trying to win in Saratoga,@
Donk said. AYou're very fortunate to get to run in Saratoga. It's abeautiful place and as I get older, I appreciate it even more justto be here and compete. It's all about the horse here, so it's a lotof fun to be here and experience it with people. I don't have thedeep pedigrees and high-priced horses like some of the bigger
outfits have, but I've got a lot of great clientele. People that I've
had for 25, 30 years.@
Just this past Thursday, Donk had two winners on the cardwith Trail of Gold (Solomini) breaking her maiden in her second
career start and Fancypants Juliana (Mo Town) winning a New
York-bred allowance optional claimer.
Gleaves's partnership has several other horses in training with
Donk including Succulent (Candy Ride {Arg}), a 5-year-old mare
who won an allowance at Belmont at Aqueduct in May in her
last start and the 4-year-old filly Snowy Evening (Frosted), who
was fourth in the Port Washington Stakes last month.
Gleaves said that between broodmares, yearlings, weanlings
and racehorses, their partnership currently owns 11 horses.
AWe're careful not to let it grow exponentially because it canreally get out of hand,@ he said.
Cont.

TDN HEADLINE NEWS • PAGE 10 OF 11 • THETDN.COM

When asked what his days look like since he has retired fromtraining, Gleaves said he still gets up at 5:00 a.m. every morning
at his home in Ballston Spa, NY.
AI'm still immersed in the Thoroughbred industry. I'm just no
longer in the trenches,@ he noted.
This summer Gleaves is enjoying spending his mornings
soaking in Saratoga while sitting outside a barn that was such a
defining place for his career and sharing his time there withanother horseman that has supported him along the way.

TDN HEADLINE NEWS • PAGE 11 OF 11 • THETDN.COM

NOTE: According to a memorandum released by the American
Graded Stakes Committee, the Saturday, Aug. 3, renewal of theFasig-Tipton Lure S., originally scheduled as a Listed
Restricted race over the Saratoga turf course but conducted as a
non-Listed Black Type (NLBT) race over the main track, should
be recorded as a NLBT race.
The original Listed Restricted status will not be reinstated forthe 2024 renewal.
The winner of the race, Film Star (Flatter), is therefore creditedwith a NLBT win, and the second [Pioneering Spirit (American
Pharoah)] and third-place [Swiftsure (Uncle Mo)] finishers are
credited with NLBT placings.

choice showed speed from the rail draw and held the front
despite heavy pressure from Side Street (Kitten's Joy)
throughout. Even as that rival faded around the far turn, a newchallenger arose in King Rosso (Vino Rosso) but Wyoming Bill
kept finding to the line to last by a half-length. Dixie Chicken is

Don't Fool With Me (Khozan). Still narrowly in front off the turn,
she put that rival away down the stretch to graduate first timeout by 4 1/2 lengths. The first winner for her freshman sire (byCurlin), R Morning Brew is a half to Dancing N Dixie (Neolithic),
MSW & MGSP, $368,550. She has a yearling full-brother named

THE ARQANALOWDOWN: COULONCES

Moa, Anna, and Lillie Sundstrom with Charlotte Hutchinson
Emma BerryBy Emma Berry
Arqana's August Sale bursts from the stalls next Friday whichmeans it will be Christmas before we know it. It also means thatover the three days which follow the spotlight will be shone onsome of the finest yearlings from France and beyond as theEuropean yearling season gets underway in its customary
fashion of part-holiday/part-serious business in Deauville.
In the days building up to the sale, we will be profiling some of
the largest drafts at Arqana, beginning with Anna Sundstrom's
Coulonces, which has 20 set to go through the ring after a few
withdrawals. Cont. p3>HE SETS THE STANDARD=: MOORE KEEN ON
WHISTLEJACKET IN THE PHOENIX by Tom Frary
Saturday=s G1 Keeneland Phoenix Stakes at The Curragh sees
the first Group 1 action for the juveniles of 2024 and afascinating colt-filly clash as Whistlejacket (Ire) (No Nay Never)meets Babouche (GB) (Kodiac {GB}). The former, who is seeking
to extend Aidan O=Brien=s tally of 17 successes in the six-furlong
feature, like his full-brother Little Big Bear (Ire) went to Royal
Ascot and Newmarket=s July Festival and unlike him lost at theformer meeting when one of the week=s shock losers in fourth in
the G2 Norfolk Stakes.

Arqana Lowdown Cont. from p1
If you are a sales veteran you will know that a chat with theSwedish-born but long-time French resident is the equivalent of
an afternoon being bathed in warm sunshine or a good dose of
Prozac, depending on your preference. Sundstrom simply does
not know how to be negative, which in itself is a great positive inthis business.
It is no surprise to hear then that she is brimming withconfidence as she counts down to next Friday and, while pullingthe manes of some of the members of her select draft, she also
took the time to tell TDN exactly why that is so. Selling one of
the four seven-figure lots at the 2023 sale, at which Coulonces
was the fifth-leading vendor with 14 yearlings sold at an averageof i224,714, may have something to do with it.
Sundstrom's two daughters, Moa, 23, and Lillie, 13, are also
actively engaged in preparing the yearlings at home as well as
showing them at the sales. This week, her friend and co-breederCharlotte Hutchinson has returned to Coulonces temporarily
from her own farm in England to join the team at Arqana as afamiliar and welcoming face among that strong team of females.

"I'm so proud to be working alongside both Moa and Lillie. Ifthey were not interested in horses I don't think I would havecontinued with this passion. I would have always continued withhorses, but not with this, because it's so time-consuming, andthen I wouldn't be a good mum if they weren't with me. But
now we work together during the days and we probably see
more of each other than most families do.
"Moa is 23 now and she takes care of so many things on thefarm. I didn't know she wanted to do this but I was always
hoping she would want to do this with me. She loves it and she
is so interested in all the networking and all of those things. Lillie
also has the bug.
"I think with our family it comes down to the fact that we justreally love horses. Whether it's a thoroughbred or not, it reallydoesn't matter at the end of the day. The girls have grown up
with having to take the responsibility for the horses and all theirneeds. I'm thankful that they want to be a part of this. And I
think it also makes it easier to take a defeat in life because when
you are racing there is only one horse who can win the race, andhow often is it your own horse? It's a good life lesson."Anna Sundstrom says: "I think the sale is going to be fabulous.
What happened last year is something that everybody in France
has been waiting for. The sale was so dynamic and we found it
really easy to sell our yearlings because there was such a wide
range of buyers. The French horses have been doing greatabroad; prize-money is amazing, and we have just been waitingfor people to feel that France is an important country as well. It
has perhaps always been a little brother to Britain and Ireland,
but this year we are there now. There have been so many phone
calls and people are feeling that they can't miss being in Arqana.
I feel that more than ever it has become a sale that people haveto come to.
"For us, it's kind of our Jockey Club, our Derby B a time toshow everybody why we've been in hiding all year. And if we've
done all that we can I think the people in the stables who
encounter these horses later on will love them, because they
will be easy.

Draft Highlights:
Lot 54, a filly by Sottsass (Fr) ex American Beauty (Fr) (Dark
Angel {Ire})"I worked at the Wildensteins for a couple of years and when I
arrived [her granddam] American Adventure was there and she
was carrying to Dark Angel and this little filly was born," says
Sundstrom. "She didn't race and she ended up being sold at
Arqana as a three-year-old, and Charlotte and I bought her for
i20,000. It was very special for us to have such a pedigree but
we didn't know how things were going to keep happening in thefamily."Indeed, plenty has happened since then, not least the
emergence of Little Big Bear (Ire) and Whistlejacket (Ire), bothgroup-winning sons of American Beauty's half-sister Adventure
Seeker (Fr) (Bering). The latter runs in Saturday's G1 Keeneland
Phoenix Stakes. Cont. p4

Arqana Lowdown Cont.
Lot 250, a colt by Frankel (GB) ex Palmas (Ger) (Lord Of England{Ger})The January-born colt is the first foal of the G1 Preis de Diana
winner and is being sold on behalf of longstanding Coulonces
clients James and Erika Gilliar, who also raced the Listed Prix
Rose de Mai winner Fun With Flags (Ire) (Zoffany {Ire}).
"They bought him as a foal with Paul Harley from Gestut
Etzean for i260,000. He's very special and Charlotte has directorders to stay on him!"
Lot 108, a filly by Blue Point (Ire) ex Diantha (Ire) (Dansili {GB})Out of a half-sister to G2 Dante Stakes winner Thunderous(Ire) (Night Of Thunder {Ire}), she was a i150,000 pinhook.
"I can't wait for you to see her. You won't find a horse at thissale who walks better than her," Sundstrom says boldly. "Webought her at Goffs with our Scandinavian friends, and she isfrom Oghill House Stud, who are such good breeders."

Saturday Previews Cont. from p1
Having registered his first Group 1 success with Siskin (First
Defence) five years ago, this race will always hold a special
gravitas for Ger Lyons and it is with another Juddmonte
homebred that he returns with a live contender in Babouche.
Team Ballydoyle will know where they stand after her defeat of
the stable=s Camille Pissarro (Ire) (Wootton Bassett {GB}) in theG3 Anglesey Stakes over 63 yards further last month, but there
is no telling at present where the limit is with the unbeaten TDN
Rising Star.
AI=m looking forward to it and if she=s placed in the first three,
we=re delighted,@ Lyons said. AWe can then decide if we stay at
the trip for the Cheveley Park or go to the Moyglare. She=s ahorse I=ve always liked and if you like them, you can=t be afraid
to get beat.@ Juddmonte=s European racing manager Barry
Mahon added, AWhen they are in good form and they are readyto go, you have got to go where the races are. We would love tobe taking on fillies, but the race is there against the colts and it isclose to home, so we will give it a good go.@AThe signals Ger has always been getting is that she could be avery good filly and she has a great temperament and plenty ofability. Her sister Zarinsk has been a brilliant filly for us the last
two years, so it is nice to see the family continuing on withBabouche and hopefully she can enhance her profile on
Saturday.@ Cont. p5

Claim to Fame: Sundstrom and her parents Maya and Jan bred
the Prix du Jockey Club winner Le Havre (Ire), himself a graduateof the 2007 August Sale.
"He started everything for a lot of people - not just for us, but
for Mathieu Alex, for Sylvain Vidal," she says. "His success reallygave me the wish to do this and to breed, and financially it madea lot of things possible as well. He was incredible and we arealways searching for the next one. Maybe it will be this horsewhose mane I am pulling at the moment."
Last Word: "We have a very strong draft B on paper but also as
individuals. The pedigrees were perhaps lacking a little bit lastyear even though we had a good sale, so we said what we don't

LORD KANALOA=S DAUGHTER OF MAGICWAND A NEW TDN RISING STAR AT
TIPPERARY
by Tom Frary
Building on her debut third at Leopardstown last month,
Ballydoyle=s Ecstatic (Jpn) (Lord Kanaloa {Jpn}--Magic Wand (Ire)(Galileo {Ire}) made experience count with an impressive win to
become the stable=s latest TDN Rising Star in Friday=s Irish
Stallion Farms EBF Fillies Maiden at Tipperary. Positioned on the
tail of the leader early by Ryan Moore, the 2-1 second favourite
was sent to the front passing two out and powered clear for anemphatic 3 1/4-length success from Lush Lips (GB) (TenSovereigns {Ire}), with Juddmonte=s highly-regarded and wellsupported 6-5 favourite Continuite (GB) (Frankel {GB}) half alength away in third.
ARyan was delighted with her, he loved her when he rode her
the first day and said she=ll stay,@ Aidan O=Brien said. AShe cameforward from her first run. He didn=t think she was slow, butthought she would get a mile and a quarter next year and be a
middle-distance filly. She has a super pedigree and is going to bebetter at three. We always thought she was going to be very

smart as a 3-year-old and we have plenty of fillies for the [G2]
Debutante and can go gently with her now, as she is a big filly.
We won=t over-face her. There are a lot of our [2-year-old] fillies
looking high-class at the moment and they are coming out of
their races great too.@
As Aidan O=Brien alluded to, Ecstatic is one for the future
rather than being about precocity so this represented a major
step up from her battling third on her racecourse bow behind
Juddmonte=s promising Swelter (GB) (Kingman {GB}) over a mile.
Her illustrious dam Magic Wand didn=t race until October of her
2-year-old season and won for the first time in the Listed
Cheshire Oaks over 11 furlongs the following May before hitting
the heights.
Successful in the G1 MacKinnon Stakes, G2 Ribblesdale Stakes
and G2 Lanwades Stud Stakes, Magic Wand was placed ninetimes at the highest level including when runner-up in the Hong
Kong Cup and two renewals of the Pegasus World Cup Turf
Invitational. Bought for i1.4million at 2016 Arqana Deauville
August, she held a significant genetic advantage over her peersfrom the get-go being a daughter of the Listed Prix de la Seine
winner Prudenzia (Ire) (Dansili {GB}) who had already produced
the G1 Irish Oaks heroine Chicquita (Ire) (Montjeu {Ire}). Cont. p7

Chicquita, who was also purchased by Coolmore for i6
million, has produced three stakes performers headed by the G2Curragh Cup winner and G1 Goodwood Cup runner-up Emily
Dickinson (Ire) (Dubawi {Ire}), while Prudenzia is also responsible
for Dubawi=s G3 Prix Penelope scorer Philomene (Ire) who like
Chicquita was second in the G1 Prix de Diane.
The third dam Platonic (GB) (Zafonic), the Fittocks Stud
homebred connected to a host of stars including Ballydoyle=s
Alexandrova (Ire) and Masterofthehorse (Ire) by Sadler=s Wells,
is responsible for the smart English King (Fr) by Montjeu=sCamelot (GB) and Montjeu=s Pacifique (Ire) who took the G3 Prix

McElligott said, "For the last two years my time at the IRTA has
been instructive and enjoyable and I would like to thank theassociation's board for placing their trust in me when they took
me on towards the end of 2022.
AOn a variety of fronts it was a fascinating time to be involved
at the helm of one of Irish racing's key representative bodies
and I would like to thank the association's board and wider
membership for their efforts in endeavouring to further thecause of trainers on various fronts over the last couple of years.@
McElligott, a well-respected journalist who spent almost two
decades working with the Irish Field, added, "I'm thrilled to takeup a new role with AMO and I very much look forward toworking with the existing team there at what is a very excitingtime. Over the last number of seasons the AMO colours havebeen carried with distinction on both sides of the Atlantic and I
hope that I can play a part in maintaining and furthering thatlevel of success over the coming years. It's a very exciting
opportunity and one that I am greatly looking forward to."Trainer Ado McGuinness was appointed as chairman of the
IRTA at the same time that McElligott became chief executive in
November 2022. McGuinness revealed that the IRTA would
officially begin recruiting for McElligott's successor on Saturday
and admitted that the outgoing chief would be very difficult toreplace.
He said, "I don't know how we're going to replace Ryan. I'mgoing to miss him. He made my life very easy with the job he
was doing. He's going to be a huge loss to the Trainers'
Association--just a very knowledgeable fella who is a very

rivals feature some intriguing types from the leading stables
including Ballydoyle=s Island Hopping (Ire) (Wootton Bassett{GB}), another first foal whose dam Heaven Of Heavens (Ire)(Galileo {Ire}) is a full-sister to Coolmore royalty Magical (Ire)and Rhododendron (Ire) and who is therefore linked closely with

Observations Cont.
The first foal out of the multiple Group 1-winning Magical (Ire)(Galileo {Ire}) and granddaughter of Halfway To Heaven (Ire)(Pivotal {GB}), she ran a highly creditable third on debut behind
Juddmonte=s TDN Rising Star Red Letter (GB) (Frankel {GB}) andthat form should be good enough here. Also from Rosegreen is
the newcomer Tea Rose (Ire) (Frankel {GB}), the second foal outof Coolmore=s 6-million gns purchase Marsha (Ire) (Acclamation{GB}) who achieved fame by winning the G1 Prix de l=Abbaye
and G1 Nunthorpe Stakes, while Coolmore have obviously
placed major importance on this contest with three otherentries. They include two blueblooded newcomers in the
Donnacha O=Brien-trained Falling Snow (Ire) (Justify), the fourthfoal out of the G1 1,000 Guineas, G1 Irish 1,000 Guineas, G1
Coronation Stakes and G1 Nassau Stakes heroine Winter (Ire)(Galileo {Ire}) who ironically met with defeat at the hand of theaforementioned Hydrangea in the Matron; and the Willie
Browne runner Just Before (Ire) (Justify), a daughter of the dualClassic-placed Gagnoa (Ire) (Sadler=s Wells) who is a half to PourMoi (Ire) responsible for War Front=s black-type winners Ancient
Rome and Etoile with the latter interestingly taking her solepattern race, Naas=s G3 Coolmore Stud Irish EBF Fillies= Sprint

Mint Candy (Ire) (Dubawi {Ire}), the first foal out of the sixtimes Grade I winner Rushing Fall (More Than Ready), was the
subject of support and ran the kind of debut typical of many ofher stable=s runners. Green and behind early, she stayed on into
fourth behind her TDN Rising Star stablemate Ecstatic (Jpn)(Lord Kanaloa {Jpn}) to suggest she might also have a bright
future.

BATTLE LINES DRAWN: V=LANDYS= WAR OF
WORDS TARGETS BREEDERS WITH
EXPLOSIVE ALLEGATIONS by Keely Mckitterick
Friday's inquiry into the proposed sale of Rosehill Racecourse
evolved into a battleground where financial realities,
governance controversies, and deeply personal accusations
clashed in a high-stakes showdown. At the center of thisunfolding drama is Peter V=landys, CEO of Racing NSW, wholaunched explosive allegations that "wealthy breeders" areorchestrating a campaign to undermine him.
During the second inquiry on Friday, Peter V=landys, CEO of
Racing NSW, made a series of explosive allegations about
Awealthy breeders@ engaging in a deliberate campaign todiscredit him and Racing NSW, going so far as to claim that these
individuals were spreading falsehoods to manipulate theoutcome of the inquiry.
He pointed to an email that allegedly encouraged people tofabricate evidence, a move he described as a direct attempt toundermine the integrity of Racing NSW.
V'landys did not stop there; he went on to deliver aparticularly charged statement regarding the motivations behindthe scrutiny of Racing NSW=s Equine Welfare Fund. He justified
the current lack of disclosure in the Annual Report, stating it was
the way their reporting has always been done. After Animal
Justice Party Emma Hurst=s request, V=landys promised toprovide more disclosure in this area, stating, AWe've got nothing
to hide. We're proud of what we do. Transparency is yourfriend.@He then alleged that the intense focus on the fund was notborn out of a genuine concern for animal welfare but wasinstead part of a broader agenda by those seeking theinformation. Cont. p14

Rosehill Hearing Cont.
AThe reason people are focused [on the Equine Welfare Fund],they have never focussed on any other expense of Racing NSW,
but they're focussed on this,@ V=landys said.
AYou know why they=re focussed on this? Because they want
to show that it is too expensive to rehome horses and that weshould allow them [those requesting this information] to put
them in abattoirs. That=s what the campaign=s about. They wantto get rid of me so they can put horses into abattoirs.@
This comment added a new layer of controversy to the inquiry
and was met with immediate disgust by several parties. Kick Up,
an organisation established by a group that includes Vicky
Leonard, a part-owner of The Thoroughbred Report, to promote
positive welfare messaging and improve industry perception,
provided the following statement:
AMr V'landys' claim that 'transparency is your friend' is starkly
contradicted by the evasive responsesCor lack thereofCthat
Kick Up has encountered in our repeated attempts over years toseek clarity on equine welfare fundspending. To then insinuate thatthose efforts are driven by a desire

He then questioned the logic of a financially challenged businessspending A$300,000 on due diligence when the membership isvehemently opposed to the sale: AYou can daresay that at least
the Chairman and potentially some of the board are severelyout of touch with their membership group.@
Discrepancies regarding the valuation of Rosehill Racecourse
were a focal point of contention during the inquiry, with figures
ranging from A$1.6 billion to a speculative A$20 billion being
cited. McGauran, defended the A$5 billion valuation, claiming it
was based on expert calculations.
However, Timothy Hale, Vice Chair of the ATC, soon after
admitted, AWe have never been provided with a valuation
showing A$5 billion.@
Racing NSW Board Member Garry Charny testified that while a
A$1.6 billion valuation might beaccurate today, the site=s

Rosehill Hearing Cont.
Abrahams and Julia Ritchie, who represented the group,
articulated the deep sense of betrayal felt by ATC members overthe proposed sale.
AWe and many, many others in the club and in the broader
industry are steadfastly opposed to this sale,@ Abrahams said.
AIt is an insult to the members who have supported the ATC andits predecessors for generations, a violation of the cultural
norms of a member-based sporting club, and a warning to all ofour peers across the city whose golf courses, tennis courts andfootball fields might stand in the way of the next development.@
The emotional resonance of this resistance was evident in
Ritchie=s testimony, where she shared that none of the 150 to
200 conversations she had with racegoers supported the sale.
Abrahams further emphasised the disconnect between the
ATC leadership and its membership, pointing out the Avehement
anger@ expressed at members= forums.

The Horseman's Perspective
Rosehill trainers Chris Waller and Richard Freedman, both

SATURDAY • 10 AUGUST 2024

voiced strong opposition to the proposed sale, though they
approached the issue from slightly different perspectives.
Waller began by emphasising the importance of Rosehill to his
successful training operation, then acknowledged the housingpressures in Sydney. While he was firmly against the sale of theentire site, staging Aonce Rosehill is gone, Western Sydney has
lost one of its greatest community attractions@, Waller was open
to alternative proposals, such as partial sales of under utilised
areas like car parks, provided these changes would benefit thecommunity, such as transforming them into parks or sports
fields.
Freedman also expressed his concerns, particularly highlighting
the lack of information provided to trainers about the proposal
and the potential impact of the sale on their operations,describing the situation as "flying blind". Unlike Waller,
Freedman was not in favor of a partial sell-off, arguing that it
would cause more harm than good given the possibility of
having to train horses in what could effectively become aconstruction site for years.
The next hearing for the inquiry into the proposal to sell
Rosehill Racecourse is scheduled for Thursday, September 12.
