DAMIAN HINDS
THE PERFECT FIT FOR
ARTHUR'S RIDE

Click here for our Breeders' Cup Connections feature with Damian
Hinds, exercise rider of Arthur's Ride | Sarah Andrew

by Katie Petrunyak
GI Jockey Club Gold Cup Stakes contender Arthur's Ride (Tapit)
is all business when he goes out to train in the morning. Comingback to the barn afterwards? Well, that's a different story.
Damian Hinds has been assigned to Arthur's Ride as the 4year-old colt's exercise rider throughout this year's Saratoga
meet. He has grown accustomed to the GI Whitney winner's
daily antics over the Oklahoma track when they start heading
back to the Bill Mott barn after training.
AHe's a good horse to gallop, quiet and nice, but to take himhome after you finish training, that's where you have to stay
on,@ explained Hinds with a good-natured grin.

NASHVILLE DERBY A VERY RICH AND'GRAND OLE' SHOWDOWN by Alan Carasso
It doesn't take long for the Kentucky Downs meeting to hit fullgear, as Saturday's program features three graded contests,
including the GIII DK Horse Nashville Derby Invitational Stakes,
with prize money that could reach $3.1 million.
The purse remains intact should one of the 10 Kentucky-breds-eight in the main body of the field and two also-eligibles--ishome first over the mile and five-sixteenths journey along the
Kentucky/Tennessee border. The four foreign raiders are
ineligible for the KTDF money, but the base purse of $2.5 million
already makes it one of the richest Derbies in the world.
The European invader with the best form in the book is KingPower's Bellum Justum (Ire) (Sea The Stars {Ire}) for trainer
Andrew Balding. A 375,000gns Tattersalls October yearling, thebay colt was a maiden winner from four juvenile appearances,accounting for future G1 Commonwealth Cup hero Inisherin(GB) (Shamardal) going a mile at Newmarket in September.
After landing the Listed Blue Riband Trial on seasonal return at
Epsom Apr. 23, he was seventh to City of Troy (Justify) in theJune 1 G1 Derby, but has since finished third in the G3 Hampton
Court Stakes at Royal Ascot June 20 and just missed when last
seen in the G3 Gordon Stakes at Goodwood Aug. 1.
Cugino (Twirling Candy) heads up the home defense, having
made all the running to defeat Lagynos (Kantharos) in the June
1 Audubon Stakes at Churchill Downs.

Damian Hinds, cont. from p1
AHe has some jumps and some bucks. It's not like he's doing
anything bad, he's just enjoying himself and playing.@
Arthur's Ride's horseplay may seem charming from afar, but
being the one in the saddle takes a unique skill set. Luckily,
Hinds is the perfect match for the boisterous colt. When he's not
riding for Mott in the summer, the 43-year-old spends the restof the year in Ocala, Florida helping train 2-year-olds for Eddie
Woods. Working with rambunctious babies has prepared Hinds
for any toddlerish tendencies 'Arthur' may show off.
AYou have to think quickly and pay attention to what he's
doing,@ said Hinds. AYou know when a horse is going to dosomething by their ears. You can't just ride him loose because
he will do something. It's the same with breaking babies. You
have to prepare for whatever they're going to do.@Hinds has been riding racehorses for 26 years. Originally from
Jamaica, the horseman fell in love with the sport when his uncle
took him to the races as a child. At age 17, he started riding forvarious trainers in Jamaica. When trainer Paul Fung moved his
operation to Canada, Hinds came along with him. Eventually,
Hinds wound up in Florida working for Eddie Woods and his
passion for racing continued to grow.
AOne time I broke my leg and somebody told me, 'Don't quit.
These horses will show you something,'@ he recalled. ASo I've
always been around horses since then. I never quit.@ Cont.

Damian Hinds, cont.
Last year, Woods introduced Hinds to Bill Mott. They worked
out a system where Hinds would spend his summer in Saratoga
and stay with the Mott team through the Breeders' Cup before
returning to Ocala in time for the busy season of 2-year-old
training over the winter.
At first, Hinds was uncertain about the new job. Moving awayfrom his home and his wife for almost five months was going to
be a big adjustment. On his first day in Saratoga last summer,
Hinds was wandering the outskirts of Mott's stable area
wondering who to talk to so he could get started. That's when
he met Erma Scott, a beloved member of Mott's stable for the
past 40 years. Scott went with him that afternoon to help get his
licensing in order and she instantly put him at ease. The pairformed a fast friendship that day and have been inseparable
since.
AWhatever she says, listen to her,@ Hinds said with a laugh.
AShe's there for the horses, too. She gives them their carrots,
their massages, she does it all. She took me in and said, 'This is
my son.'@AI don't know what it was about him,@ said Scott, who iscurrently nominated for a Dedication to Racing Award throughthe Thoroughbred Industry Employee Awards. AHe has started
calling me mama, so I like that. Everybody keeps asking me
why I like Damian so much. I tell them because he's nice andhe can ride.@
During his first season with Mott, Hinds worked with many ofthe barn's best trainees. He rode Just FYI (Justify), who won the
GI Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies, and spent the later part of thesummer and the fall aboard Horse of the Year and GI Breeders'
Cup Dirt Mile victor Cody's Wish (Curlin).
ACody's Wish was something special,@ he said. AHe was a real
nice horse going to the track and coming back. He had his days

where he would pull very hard. If you knew what you were
doing, you'd be fine.@
Hinds said that Cody's Wish, a two-time Breeders' Cup
champion, is without a doubt the best horse he has ever sat on.
Arthur's Ride is a close second. Attention has grown on the eyecatching gray ever since his breakout victory in the Whitney, a'Win and You're In' qualifier for the GI Breeders' Cup Classic at
Del Mar on Nov. 2.
AThere is always pressure riding those kinds of horses,@ Hinds
admitted. AYou feel it because a lot of people are watching. You
have to be on the right lead all the time and do the right things.
You never know if somebody maybe has a camera on you.@
Both Hinds and Scott have a soft spot for Arthur's Ride. Scott
met the Glassman Racing-campaigned colt when he was just a 2year-old learning the ropes of the racetrack at Payson Park.
AHe ran a couple of times [in Saratoga] and was second andthen he took a break,@ she recalled. AWe got him back this year
and he has been doing great. He's like a little baby, but we love
him. He likes to play. He likes to eat his carrots. If I call him, helooks up at me. He's special.@
This weekend Arthur's Ride will take on another Challenge
Series race in Sunday's GI Jockey Club Gold Cup. Cont.

Erma Scott calls Arthur's Ride ACarrot Man@ | Sara Gordon

The 4-year-old already has an automatic Breeders' Cup entry
with his Whitney victory, but another dominating win would seal
the colt's spot as a top contender in this year's Classic. Hinds is
hopeful that come November, he might be able to check theBreeders' Cup Classic off a growing list of races that his mounts
have claimed.
Even though being away from home for months on end
comes with its challenges, Hinds said the experience is all worth
it when he gets to have a hand in campaigning stars like
Arthur's Ride.
AI could say that I get to get on some of the best horses in the
country and I wouldn't be lying,@ he said. AIt has paid off.@

Secret Money (Good Samaritan) is an 8-1 chance in the
GII Ladies' Turf Sprint, having defeated Danse Macabre (ArmyMule) and Bling (American Pharoah) in last year's age-restricted
GIII Music City Stakes. California shipper Ruby Nell (Bolt' d'Oro),front-running winner of Santa Anita's GII Buena Vista Stakes
going a mile back in March, cuts back to a sprint for the firsttime since winning the Unzip Me Stakes last October.

The Friday scratching of Adare Manor (Uncle Mo) leaves amaximum field of eight for Saturday's GI FanDuel Pacific Classic
at Del Mar, with a berth in the GI Breeders' Cup Classic over thesame course and distance on Nov. 2 at stake.
Dr. Venkman (Ghostzapper) was the 5-2 morning-line second
choice behind the mare and looks to be the chief beneficiary of
Adare Manor's absence. Having debuted just this time last yearwith a pair of victories, the bay was second in the Oct. 21
Perryville Stakes and resumed with a runner-up effort in the
GII Triple Bend Stakes June 1. Bred top and bottom to handle aroute of ground, Dr. Venkman took over at about the midway
stage of the GII San Diego Handicap and carried Antonio Fresu toa one-length victory over Katonah (Klimt). Cont.

Middle-distance turf males compete for a 'Win and You're In'
ticket to the GI Breeders' Cup Turf in the GII Del Mar Handicap
earlier on the program. Gold Phoenix (Ire) (Belardo {Ire}) is thetwo-time defending champion of the 11-furlong heat and wasjust up in the 1 1/4-mile GII Charlie Whittingham Stakes May 4
ahead of a somewhat troubled seventh in the July 28 GII Eddie
Read Stakes over a nine-furlong trip that is short of his best.
Rockemperor (Ire) (Holy Roman Emperor {Ire}) is as reliable as
they come, even if it's been over two years since he last saluted.
Sixth to Gold Phoenix in the Whittingham, he led late but waschinned on the wire in the 14-furlong GIII San Juan Capistrano
Stakes June 16 and may want that sort of trip to bring out his
best. Balnikhov (Ire) (Adaay {Ire}) ran on for third in the Readand will try this distance for the first time, while an interesting

War Like Goddess Tough To Deny in Flower Bowl
George Krikorian's 7-year-old nails-tough mare War Like
Goddess (English Channel) does not appear to have lost her zest
for racing and continues a march towards a fourth consecutive
appearance at the Breeders' Cup as the 7-5 morning-line
favorite in the GII Flower Bowl Stakes, a 'Win and You're In'
qualifier for the GI Breeders' Cup Filly & Mare Turf. War Like
Goddess was a fractionally unlucky third as the public choice inthe 2021 renewal at the seaside oval.
Seventh against the boys in last year's GI Breeders' Cup Turf,the bay has just two runs under her belt this season, a pacecompromised third in the GI New York Stakes here June 8, but
she bounced back to return a relatively generous $4 to herbackers in the mile and three-eighths GIII R. G. Dick Memorial
Stakes at Delaware July 7.
Parnac (Fr) (Zarak {Fr}) made every yard of the running lastyear, controlling a soft pace before easily holding off McKulick(GB) (Frankel {GB}) by 1 1/4 lengths. The two met again in the
GII Glens Falls Stakes Aug 1, with McKulick turning the tables by
2 1/4 lengths, as favored Eternal Hope (Ire) (Teofilo {Ire}) could
do no better than fourth in her first start of the season.
The Queens M G (Thousand Words) seems to have righted theship in her last couple of starts and looms the one to beat in the
GI Spinaway Stakes. Inexplicably down the field in the June 6
Astoria Stakes, the dark bay filly lit up the tote to the tune of$91 in the opening day Schulyerville Stakes July 11 and followed
suit--albeit at much skinnier odds--in the GIII Adirondack Stakes
last time Aug. 4. The waters are deeper Saturday, as thecompetition includes Quietside (Malibu Moon), who was nameda 'TDN Rising Star' at first asking for a towering 6 1/4-length
debut success Aug. 4, and Godolphin first-time starter winners
Pondering (Hard Spun) and Immersive (Nyquist).
In the GIII Prioress Stakes, the first of the day's three gradedevents on closing weekend at the Spa, Rigney Racing's 'TDN
Rising Star' Two Sharp (Twirling Candy) figures a handful off an
11 1/4-length graduation going 6 1/2 panels Aug. 2. Brightwork(Outwork) was to have made her 3-year-old debut in the GI Test
Stakes but lost her footing in the paddock and was forced toscratch. She is an obvious threat from the outside stall.

"I bought her with that name and I told Donato 'I don't likethat name,'" Krikorian said. "I didn't see the horse then because
he was in Florida and I was out here in California when he called
me about the horse. I didn't get to see her for maybe fourmonths or five months later. When I saw her, I looked at her andI said, 'Hey, we don't need to change her name. She's beautiful.

"We're well aware of the fact that she's getting a little older,"Mott said. "One day they eventually tire out, but she seems to
be doing well at the moment. She's coming off of a good race,and she's going into this race seemingly quite good. There's
other younger fillies in there that I'm sure are doing well, but
we're still trying to compete."
On the advice of bloodstock agent Donato Lanni, Krikorianpurchased War Like Goddess for $30,000 in June 2019 of the

Pyrenees Will Try to Continue Ascent in Gold Cup
It's fair to say that Pyrenees (Into Mischief) has been a project
for trainer Cherie DeVaux and owner-breeder Blue Heaven Farmthat is turning into a success story. He enters the GI Jockey ClubGold Cup Sunday on an upswing with four wins and a second in
his last five starts.
DeVaux said the colt was a bit slow to develop, but after his
career was interrupted has grown into a legitimate stakes horse.
In his last two starts he won the GIII Pimlico Special and wassecond by 2 1/2 lengths to the now-retired Kingsbarns (Uncle
Mo) in the GI Stephen Foster on June 29.
"I just think it was time and maturity," DeVaux said. "He had areally significant injury that caused him to be off for a year.
When he came back from that, he was a completely different
horse. Physically, he's always been slight and a bit feminine, but
mentally, he really matured." Cont.

TDN HEADLINE NEWS • PAGE 9 OF 18 • THETDN.COM

Saratoga Notebook, cont.
DeVaux said Pyrenees suffered the leg injury early in 2023 andit kept him away from racing until mid-December, when hebroke his maiden at Fair Grounds. Though he was by top sireInto Mischief, early on DeVaux and her staff did not see him
developing into a stakes-caliber runner.
"It would be hard to justify saying that the way he trained, inthe way he was running," she said. "It's not because it was lackof talent. He just wasn't putting it out there on the track. You
could tell that there was more in there, and he just wasn't
putting it out. We had tried blinkers and were going to run him
in blinkers, but then when he hurt himself, we just kind of
regrouped with him."
By year's end, Pyrenees was a different horse.
"When he came back, he was breezing much better, a lot more
focused," DeVaux said. "He was so aloof as a 2-year-old. That's
the only word I can use for him."

SATURDAY • AUGUST 31, 2024

some point we had the discussion that if he is going to make itto the Breeders' Cup, he's going to need a little break. Not a
break from training, but just a break in racing. We decided thatwas probably the best opportunity after the Stephen Foster tojust give him a little time for his next race."

Summer Holiday is Over for White Abarrio

Pyrenees Thursday morning at the Spa | Sarah Andrew

Following the maiden-breaker, Pyrenees took the next steps
on his climb with an allowance victory in late January and athree-length score at Keeneland on Apr. 12 over a sloppy track.
He edged Kingsbarns in the GIII Pimlico Special, giving DeVaux
her third stakes win on the program that day. While it was animportant victory for the colt in his first stakes try, DeVaux said
the turning point had already occurred.
"I would say Maryland kind of just solidified that we were on
the right track with him," she said. AI was really impressed withhis race at Keeneland. Then again, he followed it up with theStephen Foster where then you're stepping up into Grade I
company. It was a tough race, and he was there. I just think it
actually might have been just a touch too short for him."
DeVaux said the decision was made to bypass the GI Whitney
and point Pyrenees for the 1 1/4-mile Gold Cup.
"He had done a lot in a short amount of time," she said. "AtWhite Abarrio (Race Day)'s break from training and a vacation
on a farm has ended and he has returned to the care of trainer
Saffie Joseph, Jr. at Saratoga Race Course.
"He's back here," Joseph said. "He's back training. He's backgalloping."
White Abarrio's owners moved him from Abarrio's barn toRichard Dutrow, Jr.'s stable in May 2023. He went on to finish
third in the GI Met Mile then won the GI Whitney Stable and the
GI Breeders' Cup Classic. This year he was 10th in the G1 Saudi
Cup. After finishing fifth in the Met Mile run at Saratoga, he wassent back Joseph, who decided he needed a break.
"It was just give him a change-of-mind piece and see if hecould drop himself down and relax," Joseph said. Cont.

"And he did. It just felt like he had nervous energy. He justwouldn't let himself down and was anxious, anxious, anxious."
Joseph said the goal is to prepare the 5-year-old for the GI
Pegasus World Cup on Jan. 25 at Gulfstream Park.
"That's kind of where he needs to get to and everything's kindof working backwards from there," Joseph said. "How we getthere, we don't know yet. There's possibilities. He could run in
October, November, if everything went right, but we don't want
to set a date and have to be changing. He's going to tell us. Aftera couple breezes, then we'll be able to come up with a formal
plan."
Joseph said White Abarrio would remain at Saratoga for awhile after the meet ends on Monday.

In the GIII Saranac Stakes for 3-year-olds over the grass at
Saratoga on Friday afternoon, West Hollywood (Uncle Mo) was
the winner, but the race was marred by the first racing fatalityof the summer season as The Big Torpedo (Big Brown) had to beeuthanized on the track, according to details provided by arelease from NYRA.
Owned by Thomas Albrecht, Vincent Fusaro and James Klein,
The Big Torpedo (#5)--who was in the process of making everypole a winning one--sustained a catastrophic injury to his left
front leg in the stretch run of Race 6. Despite the immediate
response of on-site veterinarians, the Thomas Morley trainee
was humanely euthanized due to the severity of the injury. The
chestnut colt is the only horse to sustain a catastrophic injury

The all-conquering Uncle Mo claims 82 graded winners, which
include the likes of Nyquist, Golden Pal, Adare Manor and now
West Hollywood. The winner's unraced dam White Hot (Ire)(Galileo {Ire}) was purchased by Bobby Flay for $1,250,000gns at
the 2014 Tattersalls October Yearling Sale and then he sold her
to Yuesheng Zhang's Yulong Investments for $2.1 million at the2023 Keeneland November Sale while a colt by Into Mischief
was in utero. In between that time, White Hot produced GI
Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf heroine Pizza Bianca (Fastnet
Rock {Aus}) for Flay, and last fall she went to John Stewart's
Resolute Racing during the Fasig-Tipton Fall Sale for $3 million.
White Hot is also responsible for unraced 2-year-old Spanning
Time (Not This Time) and she visited Gun Runner for next term.
West Hollywood's dam is a half-sister to French multiple groupstakes winner Gagnoa (Ire) (Sadler's Wells), who herself is

SALUTE THE STARS RNAs IN INAUGURALBIDXSELL AUCTION

ADARE MANOR OUT OF THE PACIFIC
CLASSIC, NOT 100% SAYS BAFFERT

Salute the Stars | Sarah Andrew

Adare Manor | Benoit

Pegasus Stakes winner Salute the Stars (Candy Ride {Arg}) wasan RNA in the inaugural auction from BidXSell, a company thataims to change the way people buy and sell horses online bycharging a $500 fixed fee as a commission.
The 4-year-old colt is owned by Gary and Mary West.
"This was a successful sale any way you look at it," said Saeed
Almaddah, President and CEO of Silk Road LLC, which developed
the platform. "First, Salute the Stars was a great horse to debut
the site with. He is a talented, classy horse with a market valuethat brought thousands to the site from all over the world. The
horse was digitally pulled out of the stall over 2,000 times.
Secondly, and most importantly, we showed the Thoroughbredindustry worldwide that our auction platform unleashes thepower of the digital auction market directly into the hands ofthe stakeholders at a significantly lower cost. The seller of Salute
the Stars was exceptionally pleased with the unique visibility the
BidXSell platform offers. Sellers know exactly who has interest in
their horse, mirroring the physical sale structure of knowing how
many times and to whom a horse has been shown and vetted.
The seller knows the region of the world most interested in thehorse, how to adjust the reserve, and is ultimately in fullcommand of the outcome. The emergence of BidXSell creates a
new era in which consignors, breeders, farms, and agents are nolonger held hostage by auction houses in the digitalmarketplace."
The company said that it would announce future U.S. sales.

According to trainer Bob Baffert, MGISW Adare Manor (Uncle
Mo) has been scratched from the GI FanDuel Racing PacificClassic Stakes, where she was slated to face the boys on
Saturday at the Del Mar Thoroughbred Club. The story was firstreported by the Daily Racing Form.
When reached for comment, Baffert told the TDN, "Adare
Manor is out of the Pacific Classic. She tied up a little after thegallop yesterday and was still a little tight this morning. I don't
feel she's a hundred percent. She can't be off her game even alittle bit tomorrow, so we're going to sit this one out."
Owned by Michael Lund Petersen, the 5-year-old who wastabbed as the 9-5 morning-line favorite in the Pacific Classic waslast seen winning for the second year in a row the GI Clement L.

CUPID THE NEWEST CHAPTER IN STORIEDHISTORY OF ATLANTA HALL FARM

Cupid with Garrett Murray | Sara Gordon

by Sara Gordon
In a cozy, bedded down stall that resides within the innercourtyard of Atlanta Hall Farm's indoor track, you'll find Grade I
winner and Grade I sire Cupid (Tapit), the first stallion to standat the historic farm that encompasses 400 acres in Monkton,
Md.
With the ease at which Cupid strolls beside Garrett Murray,stallion manager and co-owner of the farm, as he mills around
during a grazing session, or nickers to 13-year-old Genevieve,
Murray's daughter, as she strides over with a carrot in hand, it's
hard to believe the stallion only made the move to Maryland lastfall.
It was a plan set in motion by Sugar Mills Stables's Tony Mills,
based in Lexington, Ky., who purchased Cupid from Coolmore
last September. The deal was finalized just days before Carson'sRun (Cupid) collected his first career Grade I victory as a2-year-old in the GI Summer Stakes at Woodbine on Sept. 16,
2023. It was within that week that Murray got a call from acouple of Lexington contacts.
"We were training horses, the phone rang, and they said, 'Hey
Gary, somebody threw your name in the hat. Would you beinterested in having a conversation with the guy who justbought Cupid?' I said, 'Sure.' The guy didn't know me, I didn't
know him, but I went to Lexington. I met Tony, his wife, theteam, and we just hit it off," said Murray. "I told him about thefarm and what we thought we could do with him. It happened
very quickly, it's a bit of a blur, we had lots to do and we did it.
We shook on it, so we have a great friendship [more so thananything], and I've enjoyed Tony because he just leaves me to
do my thing."
Standing Cupid at Atlanta Hall has brought things full circle for

SATURDAY • AUGUST 31, 2024

Murray, a native of Wexford, Ireland, who first came to Central
Kentucky to work for legendary horseman Robert Courtney Sr.
at his Crestfield Farm in 1998. After returning home to continue
his studies in equine science at the University of Limerick, hemade his way back to the Bluegrass to work at Juddmonte.
"I was more into the training than the broodmares so I was putin the training barn and we had [Grade I winner] Aptitude, Flutehad won the [GI Kentucky] Oaks, so right there I was aroundthese amazing horses that were on Derby trails, Grade I winners.
Juddmonte had just started the association with Bobby Frankel
so it was that brilliant generation of magnificent fillies like
[Grade I winner] Tates Creek. I was lucky to be there for that,"he said.
From there he moved on to Castleton Lyons where his first
introduction to working with stallions came in the form of caring
for Malibu Moon (A.P. Indy).
"I was a kid on the farm who was told, 'You're going to need tolook after this stallion.' Little did I know how much of a handful[he was]. He was a big, hardy horse but he was very fair. A
beautiful horse, great stallion," said Murray. "It was great to be
there for that, to launch a stallion, because here I am 20 years
later trying to do the same thing."
Murray continued to garner plenty of experience while in
Kentucky, eventually making the transition to Coolmore's
Ashford Stud as he joined the team to learn more about
yearlings and the sales, before moving into the office to sell
stallion nominations.
It was around that time he met Elizabeth Voss, daughter ofrenowned steeplechase trainer Tom Voss, who had worked her
way up from intern to director of sales at Three Chimneys Farm.
The pair married in 2010 after moving back to Voss's family's
farm, Atlanta Hall, in Maryland and began assisting Voss's father
in training steeplechase horses. Cont.

Cupid with Garrett Murray | Sara Gordon

But tragedy struck in 2014 when Tom Voss died suddenly of anapparent heart attack at 63, leaving the farm and the businessto the young couple, who were raising two young children--theirdaughter Genevieve and son Thomas--at the time.
"Listen, we just went to work. We continued what her dad wasdoing, which was training steeplechase horses, and that's what
we did. I think in the first two years after he passed, we had five
Grade I wins with three different horses in New York, so we hit
the ground running. We had a great rider, a good team, we
inherited some of Tom's staff," said Murray. "We were young,we were hungry. But life goes on and things change, the sport iscyclic. We are lucky enough to have always had a relationshipwith the Merck family's The Fields Stable who continues tosupport our racing and breeding operation."
Following in the footsteps of her father, who was posthumously inducted into the National Museum of Racing's Hall of
Fame in 2017, Voss sent out Makari (Makbul) to win the 2014 GI
A. P. Smithwick Memorial Steeplechase Stakes; Bob Le Beau (BigBad Bob) to win the 2015 New York Turf Writers Cup Handicap,
GI Lonesome Glory Hurdle Handicap, and 2016 A. P. Smithwick
Memorial Steeplechase; Portrade (Trade Fair) to win the 2016
New York Turf Writers Cup Handicap; and also had a gradedstakes winner on the flat: Renown (GB) (Champs Elysee {GB}) inthe 2016 GIII Sycamore Stakes.
"Then Covid came, it hurt business really, and things got
quieter. But the silver lining was with the kids, we had moretime with them, so that's not a bad thing," Murray said. "Thestallion thing always made sense to me; it was just a matter oftiming."Cue the phone call about Cupid.
Making the trip from Maryland to Kentucky himself, Murray
picked Cupid up from Ashford, where he'd stood since 2018.

SATURDAY • AUGUST 31, 2024

Looking back on Cupid's first season standing in the Mid-Atlantic
region, for a fee of $8,000 with a stands and nurses guarantee
this year, Murray remarked that the 11-year-old stallion covered
nearly 55 mares.
"We bred most of our mares and partners' mares to Cupid
obviously, and Tony bred his share. Cupid bred 53 or 54 mares
which is not a terrible number in a regional market," he said.
"He brought a good flow of mares to the place, which was goodexperience for me. The crew learned a lot. We did more rightthan we did wrong so it was a successful breeding season. I think
he ended up with 85 percent of his mares in foal, so he did hisjob. Now we've got to build on that in the coming years. It will
be nice to have representation of Cupid in Maryland."Currently ranked among the top five on the 2024 Leading
Fourth-Crop Sires in North America list, Cupid has received ahuge boost from the success of Carson's Run and Sterling Silver
at Saratoga this summer.
Already a multiple stakes winner and graded stakes-placed,the Bill Mott-trained Sterling Silver returned to her winningways in the Aug. 7 Johnston Mile Handicap--for New York-bredfillies and mares 3-years-old and up--as she pulled away to win
by 9 3/4 lengths. Four days later, Grade I winner Carson's Run
delivered a remarkable last-to-first performance to win the Aug.
11 GI Saratoga Derby Invitational Stakes by 3/4 of length fortrainer Christophe Clement.
It was quite the thrill for Murray who, along with his family
and friends, were in town to witness both stellar performances
by Cupid progeny.
"That was great because everybody got to experience a Cupid
winning in Saratoga. Good time, good race [for Sterling Silver].
And then of course Carson's Run was meant to be running
Saturday, we were hanging around for Carson, and it got pushed
back to Sunday.@ Cont.

means a lot to us."
And though they were not at Ashford during the same time,
there's something quite fitting about the connection between
Cupid and Murray.
"I love it, I feel like I'm a child again. I feel like I'm 20 when I
walk next to him, it gives you that rush. We all need a kick in life.
I stopped smoking years ago, and I don't play golf, I don't havethe time, but I love walking next to a stallion again," said
Murray. "It's very hard to criticize Cupid. Physically, he'smagnificent. He's big, but not too big, he's perfectly correct. No
conformation defects and that's great in a regional market
where you need to have everything right.
"I was back on the phone, going through charts in the winter,going racing again and I was getting out there selling. I enjoy
bringing people back here. It's a very beautiful farm to show off.
But like anything, it's the right partners, the right stallion, and I
think he is the right stallion for the marketplace."

Sterling Silver | Sarah Andrew"That in a nutshell is really what's best about Cupid. A
five-year-old mare, Sterling Silver, going a mile on the dirt on
Wednesday and [then Carson's Run], a 3-year-old, going a mile
and three-sixteenths on the grass [on Sunday]."
Carson's Run returns Saturday, Aug. 31 as the headliner
amongst a full field of 12 in the $3.1-million GIII Nashville Derby
Invitational at Kentucky Downs.
For Murray and Mills, Carson's Run served as a lot of the initialinspiration when making the decision to stand Cupid andultimately, exemplifies what they're hoping to achieve with the
Maryland-sired crops to come.
"To get through the season and a couple weeks later go toSaratoga, that's where you want to win, you know? Just for it tohappen in those few days was really magic. And then we'relooking forward to what's left for Carson and others, and there's
2-year-olds running, which are fun," said Murray. "If you look in
our kitchen there's a whiteboard with 'Cupid Runners' on it,[Genevieve] likes to [keep track]. I don't care if it's Prairie
Meadows or wherever, as long as there's runners out there."
But Cupid isn't the only one who's received a boost. His arrival
has been an exciting new venture for the entire family, marking
a continued devotion to extending the legacy establishedgenerations back by the Voss family.
"It's been a really good heartbeat for the farm. We knew we'dhave to go down a different direction, which we did. People
have been doing it in Maryland for years and we're no different
than them. We have great respect for everybody here, from
Northview to Country Life [Farm]," said Murray. "We're a young
family, we've got to keep it going for this next generation. It

Amongst the hustle and bustle that normally ensues aroundthe farm, from the steeplechase horses in training to the herd ofbreeding stock, or a spring season filled with point-to-point
festivities and a fall season filled with racing and foxhunting,there's a soothing quiet to be found in the newly built stallion
haven within the training track.
But in that quietness that can be experienced on a mid-August
afternoon at Atlanta Hall Farm, the sense of pride, dedicationand hope for the future speaks volumes.
"We're young, we have youth, we have the energy. We have afifth-generation horse person right here [with Genevieve]," said
Murray. "The farm is steeped in history and good horsemanship.
I'd like to think we're continuing to keep things moving forward.
It's not rocket science, we're keeping it simple, but it's been a lotof fun, you know?"TDN HEADLINE NEWS • PAGE 17 OF 18 • THETDN.COM

HISA PENS LETTER IN SUPPORT OF NYRASYNTHETIC DECISION FOR BELMONTWINTER RACING
As renovations continue at Belmont Park, The New York Racing
Association (NYRA) divulged a plan July 1 to conduct
approximately three months of winter racing annually at
Belmont exclusively on an all-weather surface. A one-mile
Tapeta track is currently under construction at Belmont, while
the facility is scheduled to reopen in 2026.
Lisa Lazarus, the CEO of the Horseracing Integrity & Safety
Authority (HISA) provided a letter Friday to NYRA in support ofthe decision. The letter appears in full below.
To Whom it May Concern:
The Horseracing Integrity and Safety Authority (HISA), wasestablished in 2020 following the enactment of the bipartisan
federal Horseracing Integrity and Safety Act. HISA=s mission is toimplement a national, uniform set of integrity and safety rulesthat are applied consistently to every Thoroughbred racing
participant and racetrack facility. As a point of emphasis, HISA
works diligently--day in and out--to minimize the risk of horses
sustaining injuries associated with horseracing. The New YorkRacing Association (NYRA) has been working closely andcollaboratively with HISA since its formation and has always
been in full compliance with its safety and integrity regulations.
As HISA=s CEO, I write to express my support for NYRA=s
decision to install an all-weather surface track at the new
Belmont Park to be the exclusive surface for winter racing. Since
2009, The Jockey Club has maintained an Equine Injury Databasethat tracks fatalities by state, racetrack, and surface. An analysisof the data collected demonstrates that the dirt tracks with thegreatest risk of high injury rates are based in a highly variableclimate with high utilization (year-round racing).
As Belmont is located in a highly variable climate and will
support year-round racing, it meets the precise criteria forbenefiting from an all-weather track. It is imperative, bothethically and to preserve horseracing=s social license, that horse
welfare is always prioritized when making business decisions.
Declining to install an all-weather track, under these unique
circumstances, would result in NYRA missing an opportunity to
substantially minimize the risk of horses being injured becauseof an inconsistent dirt surface that is difficult to maintain in thewinter at a racetrack that will be utilized year-round. Further,
the data collected around the currently operating all-weather
tracks strongly suggests that any concerns about a detrimental
effect on field size and betting are misplaced.
Thank you for considering these important safety concerns as
you evaluate these issues.

DONEGAL=S GATE TO WIRE GRADUATES
WITH EASE By Mike KaneSARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. - It was quite easy for Donegal Racing
to come up with a name for Gate to Wire (Munnings), whoturned in an eye-catching debut performance Friday.
"He looked fast," said Donegal CEO Jerry Crawford.
Gate to Wire has lived up to his appearance in training andshowed his speed in the opener at Saratoga Race Course, while
posting a 1 3/4 -length victory in the $100,000 maiden special
weight for 2-year-olds.
Though he did not lead every step of the way, Gate to Wire,
with leading rider Irad Ortiz, Jr. aboard, stalked the early pace of:21.63 and 45.32, stormed to the lead on the turn and was notseriously threatened in the stretch of the 5 1/2-furlong turf test.
They reached the wire at 1:02.73 and the 9-5 favorite paid
$5.90. After running off with the rider during the post parade,
Bob Baron's homebred Jack's Promise (Promises Fulfilled),
trained by Dale Romans, ran greenly at times them closed wellto finish second at 29-1.
With a pair of sizzling bullet breezes on dirt leading up to therace, Gate to Wire was hardly a surprise. He was the fastest of
161 on Aug. 17 with a :47 breeze from the gate and followedthat with a best-of-103 gate breeze Saturday with a half-mile in:47.13.
"I thought we were showing our cards a little aggressively,"
Crawford said, "but at the same time it told us what we'dsuspected."
Donegal purchased the chestnut bred by Moyglare Stud Farmfor $95,000 at the 2023 Keeneland September Sale.
"When we bought him, Barry Berkelhammer and I were thetwo people who were especially high on him at the sale,"Crawford said. "I give Barry kudos and credit for his role in this.
We have a very good selection team."Hall of Fame trainer Todd Pletcher said the Donegal sent him atalented colt to develop.
"Jerry and his team did a great job picking him out," Pletcher
said. "He's a beautiful son of Munnings. Looks a lot like his sire.
Came in, has trained very forwardly and professionally leading
into this. We were expecting him to come out with a good
debut, show some speed, which he did."Gate to Wire | Sarah Andrew

Crawford watched the race back home in Des Moines, where
the Donegal staff is preparing for the Keeneland yearling salenext month. He noted that Gate to Wire did not fit the stableprofile.
"It is very, very unusual for Donegal to have a sprinter," hesaid. We suspected he might be a sprinter when we bought him,
but he was so shiny that we bought him anyway. Out of 50
average horses from Donegal, 49 will be routers. So that's a little
unusual for this as well."
Now that the maiden victory is on the colt's resume, Donegal islooking ahead.
"We've known for a while that this horse was very talented,"
Crawford said. "In fact, I've been scouring the Breeders' Cup
prep races before today, so our confidence level was up there.
Of course, it's great to win at Saratoga. It's great to win anythingat Saratoga." Cont.

GODOLPHIN STRIKE FOR
i850K RECORD-BREAKINGCAMELOT COLT AT BBAG

Lot 67, a son of Camelot | BBAG

By Adam Houghton
Godolphin repeated their feat of five years ago when signing
for the i850,000 top lot at Friday's BBAG September YearlingSale, surpassing the previous record fee of i820,000 they paid
for a Sea The Stars (Ire) filly in 2019.
It's a record that had been shared since 2020 when Dietrich
and Annabel von Boetticher's Gestut Ammerland also forked out
i820,000 for a full-sister to the 11-length Deutsches Derby
winner and sire Sea The Moon (Ger), but now there is a new
outright leader in the shape of the colt who went through thering on Friday as lot 67.
Named Del Maro (Ger), he too has a Classic pedigree fully
befitting of the highest-priced horse in the sale's history. Cont. p3'I'M ALREADY ON THE NEXT PAGE':SEPTEMBER HERALDS NEW CAREER FOR
MOSSE By Emma Berry"Please, please don't make me cry," says Gerald Mosse as he is
asked to recall his final day in the saddle at Chantilly on BastilleDay.
"When you compete with all the riders, it's like we are a big
family," he continues, remembering the guard of honour fromhis fellow jockeys as he walked out to take that one last ride forhis long-term supporter the Aga Khan.
"We take a risk all together, we travel all together, and when
they make something like they did to say goodbye, it was pretty
emotional. I received from all my colleagues and family andtrainers so much support that it became tough to say 'okay, it's
enough.' But I made up my mind; it's done."That was then. Now, as we speak, Mosse is in Deauville, andinstead of being sequestered in the weighing-room at the
racecourse next door, he is at the Arqana sales grounds on thehunt for horses to train rather than ride.
"The good thing is I'm looking forward to the next part of mycareer," says the 57-year-old. "So I don't try to think too muchabout what was, or the happiness to be able to ride worldwide. I
have so many things in my mind. I'm already on the next page."Cont. p7

Soldier Hollow Gone But Not Forgotten
Anthony Stroud also signed for lot 113, a Teofilo (Ire) colt who
fetched i150,000, on behalf of Godolphin, but he was forced tosettle for the role of underbidder when it came to the sale's
other standout result.
The Soldier Hollow (GB) colt in question, or lot 52, was offeredby breeder Helmut von Finck of Gestut Park Wiedingen, theowner of the former German champion sire who died in May
this year. Soldier Hollow is perhaps best known as the sire of theDeutsches Derby winners Pastorius (Ger) and Weltstar (Ger),
while daughter Tamfana (Ger), who was purchased for i20,000
at this sale in 2022, has finished fourth in the 1,000 Guineas andthird in the Prix de Diane this year.
This colt is out of the winning Shirocco (Ger) mare Wamika(Ger), who has already produced three black-type winners by
Soldier Hollow, including the G3 Preis der Winterkonigin scorer
Whispering Angel (Ger). She in turn is the dam of the G3
Bavarian Classic winner Wilko (Ire) (Mastercraftsman {Ire}).
The second dam, Wakytara (Ger) (Danehill), has also produced
a multiple Group winner by Soldier Hollow in the shape of Wai
Key Star (Ger), something which was identified by Alex Elliott as
one of the reasons why he refused to be beaten on lot 52.
"He was just a very, very classy individual," he summed up
after securing the colt for i320,000. "The mare hasn't missed to
Soldier Hollow and even the second dam didn't miss to Soldier
Hollow, so it's obviously blood that works.
"If he can run as well as he looks, then I'm sure we're going to
be okay, even with such a hefty price tag on him. He'll go toRalph Beckett. It's a sale that has been good to us and,hopefully, this is another horse who can add to that."
Elliott bought three yearlings in total for an aggregate ofi460,000, with the others including lot 73, a colt by Too Darn
Hot (GB) who sold for i110,000. Cont. p5

herself is a half-sister to the G1 Grosser Dallmayr-Preis Bayerisches Zuchtrennen and G2 German 2,000 Guineas winner
Lucky Lion (GB), while the second dam, Lips Arrow (Ger) (Big
Shuffle), won two Listed races and was Group 3-placed on twoother occasions.
"It's been a huge year for the stallion," said Lizzy Sainty, theFrench representative for Ballylinch, after securing the only Lope
De Vega yearling in the catalogue. "She's a lovely filly. She wasreally typical of her sire with a lovely walk and she obviously
comes from a really top class nursery in Etzean. They do abrilliant job.
"She'll come home to Ireland and John [O'Connor, managing
director of Ballylinch] will make a decision on her future later."Sainty also confirmed that Prix du Jockey Club hero Look De
Vega (Fr) is on track for his two big autumn targets, with the G2Prix Niel set to be used as a stepping stone to the G1 Prix del'Arc de Triomphe for which he heads the ante-post betting.

Gerald Mosse Cont. from p1
It is a blank page for now, but not for long. September 1 is thedate on which the next chapter of the glorious racing saga of theMarseille-born Mosse will start to be written. The 41 years tohave gone before include tales of Hong Kong, Melbourne,
Newmarket and of course his home country, and it is back in
Chantilly where stage two begins.
The boxes at his stables alongside the famous gallops of Les
Aigles have been repaired and refurbished through the summer.
Ecurie Mosse - formally known as the Manor des Sangliers - willsoon be open for business.
"I decided to start on September 1 because with all the sales
it's difficult to start and then not be there. So I decided to comehere, having had good communication with all the owners,
because there is a concentration of owners coming from all over
the world for the sales.
"Of course, I'm lucky to know a lot of people in the business. I
used to travel, I used to compete at different tracks worldwide.
And I decided to make a turn in my career at a time when I cankeep my name in a good spot. It's a business and people canforget you quite quickly."
Despite Mosse's consternation, it is unlikely that his name will
be forgotten any time soon. The winner of 62 Group 1 races in
his home country and more than 90 worldwide, he has also
notched major wins in Hong Kong, where he spent several stints
with the HKJC, Britain, Germany, Italy, Dubai, Canada, and inAustralia's most famous race, the Melbourne Cup, aboard
Americain in 2010. Cont. p8

Gerald Mosse Cont.
That horse's trainer, Alain de Royer Dupre, supplied many ofMosse's big winners, particularly during the former jockey's
eight-year retainer for the Aga Khan, and he remains an ally
even after his own retirement in 2021.
"Experience is something that you can't buy," Mosse says. "I'vebeen all over the world to ride and I've been next to the top
trainers. I will just try to follow what I have seen, what I learned.
Mr Dupre is very close to me. When he retired he told me thenthat he would be very pleased to come to help me. So if I have aman like that next to me, I will feel a little bit more secure fromthe beginning."
He continues, "So I think now everything's in place. The one
thing I don't know is what the reaction of the people will be.
Even if I was [a] professional rider, it doesn't mean that I'mgoing to be a good trainer. So I am just trying to show people
that this is my passion, this is what I love to do and this isprobably one of things that I know how to do properly. It's not

completely new. And all the owners know me, so I guess they
feel a bit more comfortable than [dealing with] someone they
have never seen."Those famous white gloves may no longer be seen on the
racecourse but that does not mean that Mosse will not be
putting his expertise to good use on a daily basis.
"I need to ride horses," he says. "That's what I miss and I willride out in my stable because this is what I love and I havealways been close to them, but I don't miss [race-riding] at all so
far because my head is already focused and looking forward to
the new chapter."That includes the most pressing next step of recruiting horses
to fill those boxes. The focus initially will be on horses in training
to give the new trainer some ammunition while the yearlings
are being broken in and learning their trade.
And if he could have a fantasy pick of just one of those top
horses he has ridden to include in his own stable? "When you
are able to ride many champions, it's difficult to choose, but one
who would come to my mind is Ashkalani," he says. "He was asuperstar who could come from last to first in five strides, andnot many horse are able to do that.
"But of course there's Arazi, Americain, PrioloY It's difficult forme to say one. But at least I know how good a feeling it is to besitting on a horse like that. And I will try to build a few young
horses to that level to be able to put one of my colleagues onboard and enjoy the ride."JUDDMONTE NEWCOMER JONQUILOVERCOMES TRAFFIC PROBLEMS, ATTAINSTDN RISING STAR STATUS AT SANDOWN

THEY MAKE GROUP 1 PLANS

Frankel is the sire of Australian Group 1 winners including Converge
and Hungry Heart | JuddmonteSouthern Hemisphere Mare Sale Cont.
Following discussions with breeders and industry participantsin both hemispheres, the sale has been created to meet demand
for mares in foal to leading Northern Hemisphere-based sires
including Frankel (GB), Justify, Kingman (GB), Lope De Vega (Ire),
Night Of Thunder (Ire), Siyouni (Fr) and Too Darn Hot (GB), all ofwhom have already sired Group 1 winners in Australia.
With entries to be announced at the end of November, thetiming of the sale will allow for agents and buyers attending theTattersalls December Mares Sale to inspect prospective mares atthe same time.
Katherine Sheridan, Tattersalls Online sales manager, said,"Tattersalls and Inglis have extremely close ties and we are very
excited to collaborate with them on this unique concept.
"Both Inglis and Tattersalls are leaders in the world ofthoroughbred online sales and this venture presents a very rareopportunity to combine our expertise and international
connections to meet the demands of the global market.
"Following initial discussions with breeders and industry
participants, the concept has been very well received and weanticipate the sale will attract a unique offering of mares with
Southern Hemisphere appeal to be offered on the Tattersalls
Online platform."
Sebastian Hutch, Inglis Bloodstock CEO, added, "Inglis andTattersalls have an historic relationship which is mutually
beneficial. We discuss ideas regularly and felt that this salepresented an ideal opportunity for us to collaborate and pool
our collective resources.
"There are some tremendous stallions in the Northern
Hemisphere which are available to use on Southern HemisphereAs expected, undefeated Group 1 winner Babouche (GB)(Kodiac {GB}) is targeting the G1 Cheveley Park Stakes, with Ger
Lyons stablemate Red Letter (GB) (Frankel {GB}) set to resurface
on Irish Champions Weekend, according to Juddmonte=s
European racing manager Barry Mahon.
Three-for-three in her young career, the daughter of Pavlosk(Arch) won her Cork debut, before claiming the G3 Anglesey
Stakes a month later and the G1 Phoenix Stakes earlier thismonth. Twice-raced Curragh maiden winner Red Letter will
resume in either the Listed Ingabelle Stakes or the G1 Moyglare
Stud Stakes in mid-September.
AWe=ve discussed it with the owners and they=re keen to go to
the Cheveley Park with Babouche, so that=s good,@ confirmed
Juddmonte=s European racing manager Barry Mahon.
AAll being well, Red Letter will run on Champions Weekend.
Whether that will be in the Ingabelle on the Saturday or the
Moyglare on the Sunday, we=ll see how she=s working anddecide closer to the time.
AObviously, the form of Babouche=s last run looks solid. I don=t
have all the times but I believe she broke some sort of record on
the day and when they do that, it has to be a good
performance.@
Mahon also offered an update on Revoke (GB) (Blue Point{Ire}), who won at Naas on Aug. 25 and is also bound for a blacktype engagement. She drubbed her foes by 4 3/4 lengths overgood to yielding ground.
AGer has a lovely team in fairness to him and Revoke looks asmart filly,@ he added. AShe=s not over-big, but she=d been
showing plenty at home and she=s quick.
AHopefully we=ll be able to kick on and head into stakes
company for her next start. Where that will be, we=ll have to
wait and see, but she=s a nice filly to have.
AShe was good over six furlongs the other day and could evendrop back to five, as she=s very speedy. She=ll slot into a stakes
race somewhere and we=ll go a bit slower with her.@
