LUCINDA FINLEY Q&A:
HISA, CHEVRON, THE FIFTHCIRCUIT WAIT

Lucinda Finley | University of Buffalo
by Dan Ross
Horse racing's federal governing body has been in the
crosshairs of a couple recent U.S. Supreme Court actions, both
directly and indirectly.
In one major ruling, the conservative-leaning Supreme Court
struck down a legal precedent called the Chevron doctrine,
which since 1984 had given federal agencies the legal latitude to
determine how best to interpret and implement
Congressionally-passed legislation.
The Chevron doctrine has been used by the U.S. government
to defend a whole host of federal laws over the decades,
including environmental regulations, consumer and workplace
protections, and those governing the financial markets. It heldthat a federal agency's interpretation of a law should behonored in cases questioning the law's meaning, provided thatinterpretation is reasonable. Cont. Pg. 3

HBPA PETITIONS FTC FOR NO-EFFECTTESTING THRESHOLDSThe National Horsemen's Benevolent & Protective Association(HBPA) filed a Petition for Rulemaking under the Horseracing
Integrity and Safety Act (HISA) Monday, requesting the Federal
Trade Commission (FTC) create no-effect thresholds. A no-effectthreshold, also known as a no-effect screening limit or no-effectcutoff, is a laboratory testing detection level below which noowner or trainer will be punished for innocent andpharmacologically irrelevant concentrations of foreign
substances that have no effect on a horse, according to the
HBPA.
Under the petition, the no-effect thresholds would be
required to be used by the HISA Authority's enforcement arm,the Horseracing Integrity & Welfare Unit (HIWU).
AThe problem of HIWU unfairly prosecuting blamelesshorsemen for irrelevant findings as low as one trillionth of agram per milliliter is plaguing the horse-racing industry,@ reads
the release from the HBPA. AThe National HBPA is calling on the
FTC to end this injustice.@
In a written statement, Eric Hamelback, CEO of the National
HBPA, said, AThe National HBPA is committed to doing
everything it can to protect horsemen. We need to reshape the
HIWU system into one that does not punish blameless trainers
and their owners for barely detectible levels of foreign
substances.@ Cont. Pg 6

Finley Q&A cont.
In such cases moving forward, the decision puts greater legal
deference into the hands of judges.
The Supreme Court also declined to hear a challenge to theHorseracing Integrity and Safety Act (HISA) filed by Oklahoma,
Louisiana and West Virginia after the Sixth Court Circuit's Courtof Appeals had found HISA constitutional. All the while, theindustry awaits rulings on HISA's constitutionality by the Fifth
and Eighth Circuit Appeals Courts.
To discuss the possible implications for HISA from the Supreme
Court's Chevron ruling, as well as the latest developments in thecircuit courts, the TDN spoke with constitutional law expert
Lucinda Finley.
Finley is the Frank Raichle Professor of Trial and Appellate
Advocacy, and director of Appellate Advocacy at the Universityof Buffalo Law School. The following has been lightly edited forbrevity and clarity.

LF cont: The Chevron doctrine is a rule about how courts shouldinterpret, should decide, whether a particular rule issued by anagency is justified by the statute that creates the agency.
The constitutional challenges to HISA are not about theparticular rules--how many strikes with the whip or how long ofa withdrawal period for a medication--adopted by the [Federal
Trade Commission] FTC. Rather, the constitutional challenges to
HISA are about much more fundamental structural issues, suchas whether the statute gives too much authority to a private
entity compared to a governmental entity. Or whether the
statute is too coercive of states, forces them to collect fees as
opposed to encouraging them to collect fees.
All of those constitutional issues that have been raised in the
Sixth Circuit, the Fifth Circuit, the Eighth Circuit, are not about
the particular content of any rule, and the Chevron doctrine isonly about the particular content of particular rules thatagencies adopt.

TDN: Does the Supreme Court's decision overruling the Chevron
doctrine have any bearing on the legal arguments used so far by
HISA's opponents to question the law's constitutionality?

TDN: So, why should anyone involved in horse racing care about
the Supreme Court's decision to overrule the Chevron doctrine?

LF: No. None at all.

LF: Once the constitutionality of HISA is settled--assuming it's
settled that it's constitutional--the next frontier of legal
challenge might be brought by people who don't like theTDN HEADLINE NEWS • PAGE 4 OF 10 • THETDN.COM

content of a particular rule. >I think 10 strikes of the whip is okay
and protective for the safety of a horse, but six is too strict,' forexample. That's when you get to the level of detail ofchallenging regulations.
The overruling of Chevron means that courts won't defer tothe expertise of the agency and their scientific advisors. Courts
could now say, >I'm a judge who knows nothing about horses
and nothing about whips, but I think I can make my own
decision about whether the six-strikes rule is too strict or toolenient.'
So, in other words, it will be not just be for HISA and horse
racing, but for any federal regulations--environmental laws, foodand drug safety, you name it--that the overruling of Chevron
will, I think, encourage any groups affected by a rule, but who
don't like the particular rule, maybe think it's too strict, tochallenge it.
I think it may give greater leeway to judges without any
expertise about the area to feel emboldened to substitute theirown judgment about the rules for the expertise of the agency.
TDN: In other words, this might be a way for critics of HISA topick apart the law rule-by-rule--at least, those rules that perhaps
aren't clearly written, or which, some may argue, don't strictlyalign with the law's written intent?
LF: It could be. But hopefully, I think the [HISA] horseman's
advisory group--I mean, at least those horsemen in the statesthat have been accepting of the rules of HISA--are finding thatwhen they make suggestions about the need to moderate orchange a rule, that the Authority and the FTC have been very
receptive to that.
Pick any controversy, like environmental contamination fromhuman drugs that your stable employees may be using, which isa hot issue right now. If you're a group of horsemen who
questioned the approach of the current rules, what are yourchoices? You can go hire a lawyer and engage in years of
expensive litigation. Or, you can work with your horseman's
advisory group to approach the HISA Authority, which has so far
seemed to be open-minded to making adjustments.
So, in the long run, the overruling of Chevron may not have ahuge practical effect for the particular rules adopted by the FTC
as suggested by the HISA Authority because horsemen's groups
may realize that it is more effective, low cost and efficient forthem to work through the horseman's advisory body and tocontinue to work with the Authority.
TDN: So, in terms of its regulatory framework, it could play to
HISA's favor here to remain flexible?

TUESDAY • JULY 2, 2024

TDN HEADLINE NEWS • PAGE 5 OF 10 • THETDN.COM

LF: The FTC or any other agency when it decides to adopt asuggested rule has to go through a legally prescribed procedureof putting out a notice of the change, a period of publishing it in
the federal register, and a period of comment before taking thecomments into consideration.
Before a rule is officially promulgated by the FTC, HISA canlisten to the horseman's advisory group and say, >well, before
we get this locked into law at the FTC level, we are listening andbeing receptive to the horsemen affected by our rules, who aretelling us how this is working in practice.'
I would hope that people who may not like a particular rulewould realize that that process is better than immediately
running off to court.

TUESDAY • JULY 2, 2024

states--they're not going to focus on challenging particular rules.
In challenging a particular rule, it almost seems like you're
conceding that HISA has authority over you. Right now, theirstrategy and goal is to get rid of HISA and to get rid of HISA's
authority over racing in their state. So, I don't think the
opponents of HISA are immediately going to change their attackby challenging particular rules instead of trying to challenge theentire idea of federal authority over their state racing rules.

TDN: Are you able to speculate as to which parts of HISA's rules
are perhaps most vulnerable to legal attack?
LF: I really, really can't speculate. I just don't want to speculate.
TDN: When might such legal efforts begin?
LF: My assumption is that the states opposed to HISA are much
more focused on trying to get the whole structure of HISA
thrown out completely, and to get complete control back to the

Sarah Andrew

TDN HEADLINE NEWS • PAGE 6 OF 10 • THETDN.COM

TDN: Speaking of which, what can be read into the U.S. Supreme
Court's denial to review the Sixth Circuit decision?
LF: As I've always said in the Q&As with you, as long as there
was no conflict between rulings of different federal circuit courts
about whether HISA is constitutional or not, I always thought it
was very unlikely that the U.S. Supreme Court would review thedecisions. So, I think their recent rejection of the appeal fromthe Sixth Circuit reflects that.
Right now, the only federal appellate court that has ruled on
constitutionality of HISA after it was amended by Congress is the
Sixth Circuit. And the Supreme Court, once the final briefs werein, very quickly rejected taking the case.
But if the Fifth or the Eighth Circuit were to rule differently
than the Sixth Circuit, now you have what's called a conflict in
the circuit courts where you have two different appellate courts
coming to different conclusions about whether a federal statuteis or is not constitutional.
If that happens, if either the Fifth Circuit or the Eighth Circuit
should disagree with the Sixth Circuit, then I think it is extremely
likely that the U.S. Supreme Court would accept an appeal fromone of those other cases. You can't have a situation where afederal statute is considered in some parts of the country andnot okay in other parts of the country. You need a uniform
decision that affects the whole country.
It takes us right back to what I've always been saying to you-we're waiting for the Fifth Circuit. They're taking so long toresolve that case. Who knows why it's taking much longer thanusual for resolving a case after it's been fully briefed and argued.
TDN: Can you read anything into that?
LF: Too speculative. But it suggests there's a disagreement
amongst the three judges who heard the case, and there may besome exchanging of drafts trying to internally convince eachother. There may be somebody writing a concurrence or dissent,
but you can't really read anything into it.
TDN: Getting back to Chevron, are there any other importantangles of note that we haven't discussed?
LF: Chevron has been a guiding principle for how courts havedealt with challenges of the particular rules that agencies issue,
but the Supreme Court didn't substitute it with any concrete
approach for courts to follow. There's going to be several yearsof uncertainty now for any federal regulations about how judges
who get a case where somebody's challenging a particular rule
are supposed to decide whether the rule is authorized by thestatute or not.

TUESDAY • JULY 2, 2024

So, in that regard, HISA's rules are facing the same uncertain
legal landscape that any other agency's rules are. This overrulingof Chevron doesn't have particular implications for HISA's rules;
it just creates uncertainty about how any federal agency's healthand safety regulations will be evaluated by courts.

HBPA Petitions cont.
AThe current process is harming the horseracing industry by
publicly shaming as dopers good men and women with
reputations for integrity in the sport. Worst of all, these'adverse' analytical findings are doing nothing to protect thesafety of horses. We hope that, with this positive change, HISA
will be able to focus on regulations that actually catch thosethey proclaim to be cheating rather than wasting valuable timeand resources adjudicating irrelevant concentration findings.@
A HISA spokesman responded to the filing in an email. "TheHBPA's claims that horsemen are being unjustly penalized for
positive tests they couldn't have avoided and which have `noeffect' on the horse, are untrue and scientifically inaccurate.
HISA has published Minimum Reporting Levels on its website forcertain Prohibited Substances, including methamphetamine andmetformin, which establish a harmonized reporting level above
which the test is considered positive. HISA also has acomprehensive contamination policy which accounts forenvironmental contamination and a new policy for treating
human drugs of abuse more leniently to account for the
possibility of inadvertent human transfer. Our adjudication
process is conducted by neutral third parties and there are
numerous opportunities for participants with positive tests topresent their case. Finally, the HBPA's suggested approach isclearly prohibited under the Horseracing Integrity and Safety
Act."

TDN HEADLINE NEWS • PAGE 7 OF 10 • THETDN.COM

In the petition, the HBPA points out that other federal
agencies commonly utilize no-effect thresholds: AFor example,
the Department of Transportation, in its drug testing ofcommercial airline pilotsY allows 100 nanograms per milliliter ofoxycodone. By contrast, HIWU publishes a zero-tolerance
oxycodone policy.@
The petition also says, Athe EPA measures foreign substancesin drinking water in micrograms per milliliter, or one millionth ofa gram per milliliter. That is one million times larger than the
picogram per milliliter level for which some HIWU laboratories
are testing. The EPA recognizes that reporting picogram levels of
foreign substances in American drinking water would needlessly
alarm the public of the presence of foreign substances that the
EPA knows have no effect.@

Coady MediaDr. Doug Daniels, President of the National HBPA, wrote,
AScientists know that infinitesimally small amounts of foreign
substances are present throughout our world. In equines, theyusually come from uncontrollable environmental transfers anddo not affect the performance of the horse. The FTC must follow
the science and adopt no-effect thresholds.@
The petition cites several horsemen who were penalized underthe existing zero-tolerance policy over commonly used human
medications, such as Mike Lauer, who had a horse test positive
for Metformin.
AMike Lauer is a 72-year-old trainer with five decades oflicensure, who spent almost $50,000 and five months trying toclear his name from HIWU allegations that cost him even morein lost clients,@ says the HBPA release. AUltimately, HIWU
concluded that a groom who had ingested his prescription
diabetes medication Metformin at lunch then unintentionallycontaminated Lauer's horse by touching its mouth while fitting itwith a bit and bridle. Yet HIWU still suspended Lauer for 75 days
and fined him $2,600.@

TUESDAY • JULY 2, 2024

The petition continues, AThese horror stories are pushing othertrainers, like Rusty Arnold, to simply admit to violations they did
not commit just to get HIWU off their back.@
In March, Arnold accepted a seven-day suspension, a $1,000
fine, and a lost a $40,000 purse after his horse Figgy (Candy Ride{Arg}) tested positive for a metabolite of Tramadol.
AArnold's unjust punishment and widely disseminatedstatement urging horsemen to 'speak up together to regulators-loudly' caused a furor in the industry,@ the HBPA said. AThe
National HBPA gathered and included in the petition signaturesfrom over 750 horsemen, decrying HIWU's unfair treatment of
Arnold and demanding no-effect thresholds.@
Arnold praised the HBPA's filing of the petition, saying, AHorses
are grazing animals. They eat dirt. They love to lick smelly wet
spots in stalls. They eat manure. They lick the walls of ship-in
stalls. It is unreasonable to think we can control this. I applaud
the National HBPA for asking the FTC to bring some common
sense and fairness to HIWU's system of gotcha chemistry.@
The petition goes on to criticize HISA for Aviolating the law by
not publishing no-effect thresholds for the overwhelming
majority of the substances on its list of permitted substances,@and asks the FTC to Aissue allowable limits itself to bring the
HISA Authority's list into compliance with the Act.@Peter Ecabert, the HBPA's general counsel of the National
HBPA, said, ABy not issuing allowable limits, the HISA Authority is
flouting the law. The National HBPA calls upon the FTC to do its
job to correct this violation.@
The HISA spokesman pointed out that Congress mandated thatthe baseline anti-doping and medication control rules include"[t]he lists of permitted and prohibited substances (including
drugs, medications, and naturally occurring substances andsynthetically occurring substances) in effect for the International
Federation of Horseracing Authorities, including theInternational Federation of Horseracing Authorities
International Screening Limits for urine, dated May 2019, andthe International Federation of Horseracing Authorities
International Screening Limits for plasma, dated May 2019."
Moreover, they said, because the IFHA limits do not use
so-called `no effects-thresholds,' the use of them would be in
violation of the Horseracing Integrity and Safety Act.

NYRA WINTER RACING TO BE ALL TAPETABY 2026
The one-mile Tapeta track currently under construction at
Belmont Park will become the exclusive winter racing surface on
the New York Racing Association circuit when the Long Island
facility reopens in 2026, NYRA announced Monday. The change
will result in approximately three months of racing exclusively
on an all-weather surface with the shift from dirt to the
all-weather in the winter months expected to enhance equine
safety and provide additional opportunities for the circuit's
year-round horse population for the benefit of the state=s
Thoroughbred racing ecosystem.
AAt its core, our vision for the new Belmont Park is centeredaround modernizing racing and training facilities in ways thatwill ensure the sport=s continued success and future growth,@
said Dave O=Rourke, NYRA President and CEO. ANYRA has closely
tracked the evolution and application of synthetic surfaces, andthe relevant data unequivocally supports a shift to the
all-weather surface during the winter months.

Construction of Tapeta surface at Belmont Park
ATogether with the renovated main track and two new turf
courses, Belmont Park will provide a multitude of quality options
for both training and racing throughout the year,@ added
O=Rourke. AWe will continue to work closely with New York=shorsemen and breeders to ensure a smooth transition as the
new facility takes shape.@
O'Rourke is chairman of the All-Weather Surfaces Committee,
formed this February at the request of the Horseracing Integrity
and Safety Authority (HISA). The committee is tasked withevaluating the impact of various racing surfaces on equine injury
rates, while studying the feasibility of broader adoption of
all-weather surfaces nationally.
AHISA commends NYRA for prioritizing horse safety in its
decision to utilize an all-weather racing surface at Belmont Park

TUESDAY • JULY 2, 2024

for winter racing,@ said Lisa Lazarus, HISA CEO. ANYRA has shown
tremendous leadership through the research and analysis it has
undertaken in making these important decisions for the futureof the sport.@
NYRA has invested in upgrades to a variety of racing andtraining facilities at Belmont Park, Aqueduct Racetrack andSaratoga Race Course in recent years, including the installationof an all-weather Tapeta surface over the Belmont Park pony
track and the complete renovation of the main track andOklahoma Training Track at Saratoga.
At Aqueduct, NYRA has renovated the main track; replaced theinner dirt with a second turf course and added a new surface tothe inner turf course, all since 2017.
Following the installation of a limestone base topped by a clay
pad, the dirt surfaces at Saratoga now respond exceedingly well
to extreme weather, while the clay pad offers a more forgiving
surface. According to The Jockey Club Equine Injury Database,the dirt surfaces at Saratoga have been the statistically safest
among NYRA tracks each year since 2021.
To achieve consistency with the dirt racing and training
surfaces at Saratoga, the main track at the new Belmont Park
will feature a limestone base topped with a clay pad below theracing surface itself. This structure, which has proven to beeffective in the wide variety of weather conditions found at
Saratoga from April through November, is expected to be
similarly beneficial for the main track surface at the new
Belmont Park.
AThe harmonization of NYRA=s dirt surfaces is yet anotherimportant equine safety measure in New York,@ said Andrew
Offerman, NYRA Senior Vice President of Racing and Operations.
AAligning the composition of the Belmont main track with both
dirt surfaces at Saratoga will further NYRA=s ability to conduct
world-class dirt racing in the spring, summer and fall.@In addition to the construction of a new main track andall-weather Tapeta track, NYRA is currently renovating andexpanding Belmont=s Widener and Inner turf courses. As aresult, both courses will feature additional running lanes,
modern drainage and a state-of-the-art irrigation systemserviced by a new infield irrigation pond and on-site pumpstation.
NYRA officials are hopeful that the improvements to both
surfaces and facilities will facilitate a return of the Breeders' Cup
to New York. The championship event has not been held in thestate since 2005.
AWe are very supportive of the Belmont Park renovation,
particularly plans to put in place a world-class facility withfantastic racing surfaces that offer versatility and the ability toaddress various seasons and weather conditions,@ said Drew
Fleming, President and CEO of Breeders= Cup Limited.

TDN HEADLINE NEWS • PAGE 9 OF 10 • THETDN.COM

AAs we said before, if you build it, we will come. We lookforward to working with the New York Racing Association tobring the Breeders= Cup World Championships back to the
Empire State when the time is right.@
In a statement released following NYRA's announcement, the
New York Thoroughbred Horsemen's Association offered thefollowing response with NYTHA President Tina Marie Bondstating: AThe feedback from the vast majority of New York's
owners and trainers was clearly against being limited tosynthetic racing for three months in the winter. Our horsemen
and women voiced support for having the option to race on thedirt year-round, as we know that there are many horses that do
not make the transition to synthetic surfaces successfully,
whether they race primarily on dirt or turf. We have also beenencouraged by the vastly improved safety record of dirt tracks,
including at Aqueduct this past winter. I have voiced ourconcerns, and will continue to talk to NYTHA membership and
NYRA leadership about addressing those concerns. But,
ultimately, we are committed to working together with NYRA,
the Gaming Commission, and our representatives in Albany toensuring that the Thoroughbred industry in New York thrives
year-round."GREG FOLEY, JAMES LAWRENCE II LATESTTRAINERS TO HAVE METFORMIN POSITIVES

Greg Foley | Sarah Andrew

by Bill Finley
The list of trainers that have been informed by the Horse
Racing Integrity and Welfare Unit (HIWU) that a horse they train
has tested positive for the controversial drug Metformin has
grown by two.
According to postings on the HIWU website, Greg Foley andJames Lawrence II have been notified that horses under theirTUESDAY • JULY 2, 2024

care had Metformin in their system. Lawrence=s positive camefrom the horse Cherished Wish (Mshawish) in a May 23 race atPenn National in which she finished second. The Foley horse to
test positive was Camaro Z (Liam=s Map). The race in question
was the June 1 Audubon Stakes at Churchill Downs where the 3year-old colt finished third.
The positives were the 12th and 13th for Metformin since
HIWU took over the task of drug testing and handing out
penalties for rule breakers. Seven cases have been resolved andsix are still pending. The maximum suspension for a Metformin
positive is two years.
Earlier this month, HISA announced that it was deferring allinterim suspensions involving metformin until the Racing
Medication and Testing Consortium's (RMTC) Scientific Advisory
Committee had conducted a review of the available science
relating to metformin. The RMTC's review is expected to takemonths.
AI was blown away by this,@ Lawrence said. AWe=re sitting here
right now working away on it. I am very upset. I have no idea
how in the world that filly could have it in her system. We=regoing through all the steps to try to figure out how thishappened. Luckily they have put everything aside for a while tostudy it. This has turned my world upside down.@
AThe way they are testing now they are picking up all kinds oflittle contaminants and calling them positives. They are ruining
people=s careers and the drugs they=ve found have had no
bearing on the outcome of the race.@
Lawrence is based at Delaware Park, which meant that his filly
spent time in the receiving barn at Penn National prior to herrace there.
AThis very easily could have been a matter of someone
urinating in the stall of the receiving barn,@ Lawrence said.
AAbout a month prior, we came into the receiving barn there
and someone was urinating in a stall. That was documented by
the Pennsylvania Racing Commission. They need to step up withthese barns that we are shipping in to to make them moresanitary and clean. I have faith because I know I didn=t doanything wrong.@
At deadline for this story, Foley had not returned a phone callseeking comment.
Foley, who has been training since 1981, has won 1,536 races,
many of them at the Kentucky tracks. Lawrence has 103 career
winners.

Let My People Go needed six tries to break his maiden,
another half-dozen starts to clear his first allowance condition
and was looking to return to the win column for the first time in
his last 10 appearances dating back to a 5 1/2-furlong turf
allowance at Churchill Downs in May 2023.
A latest sixth to millionaire Just Might sprinting over the Matt
Winn turf course in Louisville June 14, Let My People Go was bet
down from 10-1 for this return to stakes competition and madeground at the fence to be just in behind pacesetting Just Might
into the turn. Ridden for luck into the stretch as My Buddy B put
the front-runner to the sword in upper stretch, Let My People
Go--whose last synthetic start resulted in a near-miss second in
the Dec. 30 Holiday Cheer Stakes at Turfway Park--knuckled
down inside beneath Axel Concepcion and arrived in the nick oftime. Just Might was forced to settle for third.
Taboo, a daughter of Grade I winner Dream of Summer(Siberian Summer) and therefore a half-sister to GISW Creative
Cause (Giant's Causeway) and Vexatious (Giant's Causeway) andthe Classic-placed MGSW/GISP Destin (Giant's Causeway), waspurchased by Merriebelle Stable for $125,000 at the 2015
Keeneland November Sale. The in-utero purchase became
Baoma Corp's Der Lu (Orb), a $900,000 Fasig-Tipton Florida
breezer who later placed in the GIII La Canada Stakes and isrepresented by her first foal this year, the 2-year-old filly Lelluri(Justify). The 56th stakes winner for the late Pioneerof the Nile,
Let My People Go has a 2-year-old half-sister named Forbidden
Friend (McKinzie), a yearling half-brother by Tiz the Law and afoal half-brother by Mandaloun. Click for the Equibase.com

DEL AVAR (c, 2, Frankel {GB}--Amour Briller {MSW-Jpn,$2,317,880}, by Smart Strike) came from a seemingly unlikely
position at a late juncture to graduate in highly impressive
fashion at first asking. Away a half-step slowly from gate four,
the homebred colt lingered in the latter third of the 16-strong
field racing around the first turn and was shuffled back to about
third-last after overracing as they reached the backstretch. Still
only 11th at the third corner, Del Avar caught the eye with awide sweep approaching the 400-meter pole, sustained that big
run to hit the front inside the final furlong and pulled clear totake it by 1 1/2 lengths as the 21-5 third choice. He covered his
final 600 meters in a race-best :34.4. AI knew going in he was ahighly regarded colt with high expectations,@ said winning jockey
Kosei Miura. AHe felt really good warming up and chasing theother horses from behind was a good experience for him. He
accelerated beautifully and I think he's got great potential.@
Amour Briller is a daughter of North Hills' Tenno Sho winner
Heavenly Romance (Jpn) (Sunday Silence), the dam of
MGSW/G1SP Awardee (Jungle Pocket {Jpn}) and Lani (Tapit),
winner of the 2016 G2 UAE Derby and third in that year's

SEVEN DAYS:
THE LEGEND OF CAMELOT

CITY OF TROY AND WHITE BIRCH STAR IN
CORAL-ECLIPSE CONFIRMATIONS
Following Monday's confirmation stage, City Of Troy could
face up to 10 rivals as he attempts to become the first Derby
winner since Golden Horn (GB) in 2015 to follow up in
Saturday's G1 Coral-Eclipse at Sandown.
Disappointing on his first start of the campaign in the G1 2,000
Guineas at Newmarket, City Of Troy bounced back to form witha sparkling performance at Epsom, fully confirming the promise
he showed when unbeaten in three starts as a two-year-old.
The son of Justify is as short as 8-15 with the sponsors tocomplete the Derby/Eclipse double at Sandown, where he could
be joined by up to three stable-mates from Ballydoyle, namely
Classic hero Continuous (Jpn) (Heart's Cry {Jpn}), the winner oflast year's G1 St Leger, four-time Group 1 scorer Luxembourg(Ire) (Camelot {GB}) and Hans Andersen (GB) (Frankel {GB}).

Los Angeles is Camelot=s second Irish Derby winner | Racingfotos.com

By Emma Berry
It's all about Camelot really, isn't it? Twelve years on and someof us are still not over him being denied the Triple Crown, butevery new Group 1 winner he sires helps to ease the pain alittle. Though this column doesn't like to hear a word against
him, it is fair to say that Camelot has his detractors. His latest
Classic winner Los Angeles (Ire) doesn't look the most relaxed ofhorses but once the colt's mind is engaged in his primary job of
galloping then it is hard to fault his resolve and talent. He is alsoa mighty beast: deep brown and even deeper of girth. A tad
burly when he appeared in the parade ring for the Cashel Palace
Hotel Derby Trial at Leopardstown in mid-May, Los Angeles had
tightened up a little by Epsom, where he suffered the only
defeat of his five-race career so far in running third behind his
stable-mate City Of Troy in the Derby. Now he is a Derby winnerhimself, of the Irish variety, after a jump-out-of-your-seat tussle
with the Epsom runner-up Ambiente Friendly (Ire).
The Irish Derby has been much maligned of late. Some of thecriticism is justified, though not all. But the first question thatmust be asked, of this and other top middle-distance races, iswhere on earth are all the eligible horses?
They are out there somewhere, because plenty of this type arestill being bred (for now) and not all are being hoovered up by
overseas buyers, but why aren't more of the larger stables
entering and running in these races? Cont p3

Not for the first time, Aidan O'Brien and John Magnierpropped up the Irish Derby, releasing a statement fromBallydoyle last week detailing their four intended contenders
which would ensure eight runners for the race, which in turnhelped in the engagement of the race for punters on a World
Pool day. We could well be in a similar situation for the Eclipse
on Saturday, judging by the 11 to have stood their ground after
Monday's confirmations.
Ballydoyle is of course the most powerful stable in Ireland, if
not the whole of Europe, and O'Brien duly landed his 16th Irish
Derby victory. But he is not the only trainer of a large, well-bredstring of horses.

TUESDAY • 2 JULY 2024

Some of his compatriots also enjoy decent support from major
owners, along with a number of stables in Britain, and the factthat only one other Irish trainer - Ger Lyons - and three fromBritain fielded an Irish Derby runner is frankly a pretty poorshow. I don't buy the argument that the Irish Derby is now solooked down upon that people no longer want to run in it. If you
don't want to have a shot at a Classic, given a suitable candidate,then you've really no business being involved with racehorses.
Even if we take, as an example, a handful of the most popularsires who would be capable of siring a winner over 10 or 12
furlongs - Dubawi (Ire), Frankel (GB), Sea The Stars (Ire),
Camelot (GB), Galileo (Ire) and Sea The Moon (Ger). This sextet
alone covered just shy of 1,000 mares in 2020. Even allowing for
the usual fluctuations of mares not getting in foal or producing alive foal, that's still a lot of middle-distance blood for this year's
Classic crop, especially when factoring in the offspring of othercapable sires. But where are they?
Of course, only a small portion of each year's foal crop will
become top-class horses, but one wonders if the rise of thesuper-stables, in which a desire to keep stable-mates apart canbe a factor in running plans, is starting to have worrying
consequences for these crown-jewel races.

HAGGAS PONDERS NEXT STEPS FOR DANTEHERO ECONOMICS

Economics | Racingfotos.com

Trainer William Haggas has issued a positive bulletin on his
impressive G2 Dante Stakes winner Economics (GB), with areturn to the Knavesmire for the G2 Sky Bet York Stakes on
Saturday, July 27 among the options being considered for his
next appearance.
The son of Night Of Thunder (Ire) is only three starts into his
career and it was because of his relative experience that his
connections resisted the temptation to supplement him for the
Derby after his emphatic Dante success which saw him power
clear of Ancient Wisdom (Fr) (Dubawi {Ire}) to land the spoils by
six lengths.
Haggas is hopeful that the patient approach he's taken with
Economics will pay dividends when it comes to the colt's
long-term prospects, which could involve him staying in training
for at least one more season.
"He's back in work and he should have a good second half ofthe season," Haggas told The Nick Luck Daily Podcast. "He's alovely horse, but he's a great, big horse and he's not just a
three-year-old--he's going to be a four-year-old and maybe evena five-year-old, who knows?
"I don't know how long it will be because if he's top, top, topclass he'll be whisked off to stud, but I can't believe he's notgoing to be better next year. He's a baby--he's only run threetimes in his life and he's got lots to look forward to."Moving on to the subject of where Economics might run next,
Haggas continued, "Obviously, the Royal Bahrain Irish Champion
is right on the radar because of the race title and His Highness'
involvement in it [referring to Bahraini owner Isa bin Salman Al
Khalifa].
"The Prix Guillaume d'Ornano [at Deauville] is on August 15, sothat knocks out the Juddmonte International [at York on August

TUESDAY • 2 JULY 2024

21] and I'm quite keen to look at the Juddmonte as well. The
obvious fit is the Sky Bet race [also at York] on July 27, but if we
don't make that or don't want to go there then we can go for
the Juddmonte and he can do a racecourse gallop.
"I think to get the freshness out of him it would do him good[to have a run] and that's the sort of [plan]. It's York/York or
Deauville/Ireland--that's how you think, but we've got lots todiscuss."
Haggas also spoke of the pride he felt in watching stablestalwart Dubai Honour (Ire) (Pride Of Dubai {Aus}) break hisGroup 1 duck in Europe with victory in Sunday's Grand Prix deSaint-Cloud, teeing him up nicely for a tilt at the G1 King George
VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes at Ascot on the same day as theYork Stakes.
"I was hoping he could do something like that," the trainer
added. "I've always believed him to be better right-handed, but
he was good left-handed yesterday. He was always travellingwell--it was a good set-up for him and he did well. I watched him
all the way round and to me he never looked like he was goingto get beaten.
"He doesn't get much credit, but he's a pretty good horse.
Maybe he's just getting his act together aged six or maybe we're
just getting the hang of him. I think he might go for the King
George--I don't see that we've got anything to lose."

SISTER TO KHAADEM TO BECOME FIRST

Connections of Moqadama (Ire), a winning sister toback-to-back Royal Ascot scorer Khaadem (Ire) (Dark Angel{Ire}), say that they want to "strike while the iron is still hot"with the broodmare in the upcoming Tattersalls Online Sale.
Consigned by Castleton Lyons, Moqadama will become thefirst US-based horse to sell on the Tattersalls Online platform.
Bidding opens on Wednesday with the sister to the dual Queen
Elizabeth II Jubilee Stakes scorer being sold in foal to American
Pharoah.
Kerry native Pat Hayes, who is the farm manager at the
Kentucky-based Castleton Lyons operation, commented, "Theowner wanted to strike while the iron was still hot. With
Khaadem winning again at Royal Ascot and the mare being in
foal to American Pharoah, you can't beat that.
"American Pharoah is a very popular sire worldwide--he's notjust popular over here, so it's a very good cross. We believe that
she is carrying a colt foal. The first foal is a really good filly by
Mendelssohn. The mare is a super mover herself and this is avery good first foal out of her. The foal is a great mover, very

well. It has been very easy to deal with Tattersalls--a very simple

Tattersalls Online cont.
The online arm of the Tattersalls platform has grownexponentially since it was launched during Covid. Katherine
Sheridan and Ross Birkett are the driving forces behind theonline section of the sales company, which sets out to stage asale every month and in June managed the selling of Royal
Ascot-bound juvenile Hot Darling (Ire) (Too Darn Hot {GB}), whochanged hands for 460,000gns.
In Moqadama, Tattersalls will break even further ground, given
the six-year-old will become the first American-based horse to
sell on the platform, but Hayes was keen to stress that there has
been plenty of interest in the filly from buyers at home in the US
as well.
He explained, "Moqadama is owned by a long-standing clientof the farm and it was his idea to try and sell the mare throughthe Tattersalls Online platform. He thought it was the best place
to put her on show. Online sales have become hugely popular.
Even over here in America, Fasig-Tipton has become very strong
in that area of the market since Covid.
"Putting this mare in at Tattersalls made more appeal to theowner, given the pedigree, but I have to say we have had plentyof interest from American-based clients as well. Her
two-year-old full-sister is in training with Clive Cox and I
understand he likes her a lot."
Moqadama began her career in Britain with trainer Charlie
Hills, for whom she carried the colours of Shadwell. Like
Khaadem, she was bred by Yeomanstown Stud, who also standher sire Dark Angel.
As well as being a sister to the star sprinter Khaadem,
Moqadama can also call on the 2015 Norfolk Stakes runner-up

full-sibling. All told, her dam White Daffodil (Ire)

A good week for the Charlton family became a great deal
better after Tom, who married his fiancJ Alana in Sicily lastTuesday, launched into a training partnership with John O'Sheain Australia.
The announcement comes after Charlton, son of multiple
Group 1-winning handler Roger and brother to the recently
Royal Ascot-winning handler Harry, spent over five years
working as an assistant to O'Shea.
In his 24 years operating with a licence, O'Shea has managed
the careers of many classy types, including Charge Forward,
Racing To Win, Foxwedge and Hartnell, and has sent out 29
Group 1 winners.
The news comes after Harry Charlton, who recently took overfrom Roger at Beckhampton, registered his first Royal Ascot
winner when Hand Of God claimed the Golden Gates Stakes.
Speaking on Monday, Roger commented, "It has been a very
proud few weeks for the family. Harry had a great week at Royal
Ascot and has enjoyed a good start to his training career and
now this announcement that Tom is to join forces with John
O'Shea is great news as well."He added on the 28-year-old's appointment, "Tom is on his
honeymoon and gets back to Australia next week. He wasdetermined that he wanted to work for John O'Shea and neverlooked over his shoulder for other options. I believe, not that
I've witnessed, that he works incredibly hard. I know that he isgood with people and that he's dedicated. They get on very welltogether."

HENRI MATISSE BECOMES TIMEFORM'S
TOP-RATED JUVENILE COLT WITH RAILWAY
WIN
The Aidan O'Brien-trained Henri Matisse (Ire), a decisive
winner of Sunday's G2 Railway Stakes at the Curragh, has been
awarded a Timeform rating of 110p, identifying him as thehighest-rated two-year-old colt to have raced so far in 2024.
By Wootton Bassett (GB) and out of the multiple Group 1
winner Immortal Verse (Ire) (Pivotal {GB}), Henri Matisse is now
unbeaten in two starts after swooping late to beat The Strikin
Viking (Ire) (Inns Of Court {Ire}) by half a length on Sunday, five
weeks on from his winning debut over the same course anddistance.
A step up to Group 1 company now beckons for Henri Matisseas he tries to emulate his half-sister, Tenebrism (Caravaggio),
who struck at the top level as a two-year-old when landing theCheveley Park Stakes at Newmarket. The G1 Phoenix Stakes
back at the Curragh on Saturday, August 10 could be the next
port of call.
That contest is also being considered for the Middleham Park
Racing-owned The Strikin Viking after he delighted hisconnections with the way he ran in defeat on Sunday, earning a
Timeform rating of 108p which puts him right in the mix among
the leading two-year-olds in training.
Incidentally, Timeform's overall rankings are still topped by apair of Royal Ascot-winning fillies from the same stable as Henri
Matisse, namely Bedtime Story (Ire) (Frankel {GB})--rated 116p
following her wide-margin victory in the Listed Chesham
Stakes--and Fairy Godmother (Ire) (Night Of Thunder {Ire}), who
is on a figure of 112p after overcoming traffic to win the G3Albany Stakes. Cont. p11

Timeform's top juveniles cont.
On future targets for The Strikin Viking, Tim Palin, director of
Middleham Park Racing, said, "He's back home already, he ate
up and trotted up just fine. We can start making some plans.
"Races like the Richmond and the Gimcrack would be on theagenda, and for all that he's not in the Phoenix Stakes, we mightjust monitor what's being aimed at that because if Timeformstick with their 108, that performance is only bettered by thewinner and Bedtime Story [and Fairy Godmother].
"If at the minute he's the third-best rated two-year-old out
there, why wouldn't you consider the Phoenix Stakes or the
Morny? We've got two Group 2 options there if you pop on
some sensible shoes with the Richmond and the Gimcrack, but if
we wanted to reach for the stars then the possibilities are either
the Phoenix Stakes or the Morny, which are within seven days ofeach other.
"The two-year-old cohort is going to be split in two directions
at that time and arguably more if you are talking Gimcracks andsuch like."

UNBEATEN HURDLER NIETZSCHE HAS TO
RETIRE TO HARAS DE MONTAIGU FOR 2025

Pretender {Ire}), a dual Listed-winning chaser and fourth in theG1 Grand Steeple-Chase de Paris.

"Boasting a truly remarkable physique, Nietzsche Has is theperfect example of everything you could want in a National Huntstallion," said Aliette Forien of Haras de Montaigu, once home tothe breed-shaping stallions Martaline (GB) and Nikos (GB), with
No Nisk At All (Fr)--the sire of multiple Grade 1 winners such as
