Track Phantom | Hodges Photography

by Alan Carasso
Favored in the betting right up until the final bit of money
poured into the pools, Track Phantom (Quality Road) took
control of Saturday's GIII Lecomte S. at a chilly Fair Grounds
Racecourse right from the opening bell and never looked likelosing, leading past every pole to pick up 20 points on the Road
to the Kentucky Derby. Having earned 10 points for his victory in
the local Gun Runner S. at the tail end of 2023, Track Phantom
now sits atop the leaderboard with GI Breeders' Cup Juvenile
and likely Eclipse Award winner Fierceness (City of Light).
Ultimately off as the somewhat surprising 7-5 second favorite
behind 11-10 Nash (Medaglia d'Oro)--the 'TDN Rising Star'
whom he easily defeated into third in the Gun Runner--Track
Phantom was once again ridden positively by the visiting Joel
Rosario and managed to cross down to the rail without doing abunch of work, as the first couple of furlongs was posted in:24:01. Nash was pulled out into the two path to prompt thepace, while Lat Long (Liam's Map) sat three deep in the breeze
just off the leaders.
Track Phantom continued to enjoy a reasonably easy time ofthings on the lead--the half went in :48.36--and Florent Geroux
began to get urgent atop Nash three furlongs out. Cont. p3

Lecomte S. cont.
Despite being asked to quicken, the chalk was making nomaterial impact, and Track Phantom turned them in as verymuch the one to run down. Finally asked for a bit of a kick by
Rosario, the $500,000 Keeneland September purchase carried
an imposing advantage into the final eighth of a mile and wasnever in serious danger while remaining perfect in three starts
around two turns. Nash's best was second best, and the two put
some 8 1/2 lengths on Lat Long in third.
A debut third going Churchill's one-turn mile Oct. 1, Track
Phantom improved one spot over that same course and trip fourweeks later, then decisively defeated Lat Long in a mile-and-asixteenth maiden Nov. 25. No better than the third choice in the
Gun Runner, the bay settled nicely off a much quicker early
tempo, surged to the front nearing the lane and went on toscore by 1 1/4 lengths, with Nash a further length and threequarters away in third at 1-2.
AHe is a very nice horse and we=re fortunate to have him forsuch a great ownership group,@ said trainer Steve Asmussen,
unsaddling the Lecomte winner for the fourth time. AI love how
he=s running here. I love the 3-year-old series at Fair Grounds
and we plan on continuing in it. We couldn=t be any more proudof the horse. He=s won all three of his two-turn races, he=s got abeautiful way of going and I think he=s just going to get better.
He=s getting stronger all the time and we=re just excited to be inthis position.@

Pedigree Notes:
A 39th graded stakes winner for his sire, Track Phantom is thefifth such winner for Into Mischief as a broodmare sire.
Raced by Alan Klein and Phil Lebherz, California-bred Miss
Sunset was trained by Jeff Bonde and recorded the mostimportant victory of her career in the 2017 GII Lexus Raven Run
S. at Keeneland. The bay added a further three black-type wins
as a 4-year-old in 2018 and was knocked down to Breeze Easy
for $825,000 at that year's Fasig-Tipton November Sale.
Miss Sunset is the dam of the newly turned 2-year-old colt
Crystal Pearl (Curlin), a $1.1-million purchase by Lauren Carlisle
at Keeneland September last fall, and the mare's yearling fullbrother to Track Phantom was hammered down to Cavalier
Bloodstock for $335,000 at Fasig-Tipton last November. She isdue to produce a foal from the first crop of Flightline thisseason.

Never truly threatened in the slop at Parx Sept. 23, Saudi
Crown was part of a strong early tempo in the Classic and faded
from about halfway to finish better than 12 lengths off White
Abarrio.
And now it is off to the Middle East, where Team Cox will belooking for Saudi Crown to atone for subpar big-race efforts
from Knicks Go in 2021 and 2022 Louisiana S. winner
Mandaloun. Cont. p5

Louisiana S. cont.
Saudi Crown galloped well within himself and under an easy
Florent Geroux hold through a half-mile in a very manageable:47.93 and the French reinsman upped the tempo on the 2023
GI Pennsylvania Derby winner leaving the three-eighths marker.
Firmly in front as they hit the long Fair Grounds stretch, Saudi
Crown was shaken up a bit at the furlong grounds, but was
taken in hand for the final 70 yards, strutting in a convincing
winner. Red Route One rallied inside to beat Happy American
out of second.
Winner of his first two starts over sprint trips, Saudi Crown wasjust touched off by Fort Bragg (Tapit) in the GIII Dwyer S. going
Belmont's one-turn mile July 1 and took a similarly tough beatwhen just caught by Forte (Violence) trying a two-turn route forthe first time in the July 29 GII Jim Dandy S.

One of three black-type winners for his Kentucky Derbywinning sire and the lone graded scorer, Saudi Crown is out of adaughter of Grade III turf winner New Economy who was sold toChina Horse Club for $500,000 at the Fasig-Tipton Saratoga Sale.
But, after failing to make the races and having produced only aminor winner from her first two foals, New Narration was soldon to Harry Landry for $17,000 in foal to Yoshida (Jpn) at
Keeneland November in 2021.
Saudi Crown's run of success last season ensured that New
Narration would be a hot commodity at the Fasig-Tipton
November Sale last fall, and so it proved, as she was knocked

Bred in the Grand Canyon State, Desert Dawn finally turned
the tables on her foe Midnight Memories in the GIII La Canada S.
under overcast skies at Santa Anita Park.
An experienced runner who has built some strong class lines
over the past three years, the homebred ran third to Secret
Oath (Arrogate) in the 2022 GI Kentucky Oaks and she was fifth
in last year's GI Breeders' Cup Distaff to Eclipse Award candidate
Idiomatic (Curlin).
However, it was the Bob Baffert trainee, and her Grade Iwinning stablemate Adare Manor (Uncle Mo), who always
seemed to have the Arizona-bred's number. As recently the
GIII Bayakoa S. at Los Alamitos Dec. 15, Desert Dawn drifted in
the lane to eventually relinquish the lead to Midnight Memories
who won by a length.

Desert Dawn | Benoit

This time, trainer Phil D'Amato's instructions to jockey Flavien
Prat, who took over the riding duties from Hector Berrios, wasto wait to uncork her up the backstretch. That is exactly what
the Eclipse Award finalist did.
D'Amato said after the race, AI made it a point to tell Flavien,>Just wait a smidge longer than you normally would.= And she
was practically dragging him out of the saddle down thebackside, and he timed it perfectly.@
At the break, 9-5 second choice Desert Dawn was taken in
hand while Midnight Memories tangled up front with Musical
Mischief (Into Mischief). This forced the favorite to assume a
tracking role from second. Prat, following D'Amato's plan toperfection, held his mount to the outside of Signorina Merisi(GB) (Caravaggio) and Coffee in Bed at the back of the field until
it was time to give her the cue.
As Midnight Memories began to labor around the far turn, it
was Desert Dawn who went on the attack, and she ranged up on
the leader at the quarter pole and put her away past the eighthpole en route to the victory. Coffee in Bed closed for second.
AElena and Hollie Crim have been great supporters of mine andhave been very patient with this mare,@ said D'Amato. AI=m lucky
we get to campaign her one more year, she is one of the barnfavorites. My wife=s favorite, she gallops her every morning, it isjust a total family affair.@ Cont. p7

AShe was traveling super,@ said Prat. AShe jumped well out of
there and was able to get a good position. I felt like if the race
would have turned into a sprint, I would have a good chance. I
didn=t know her, but I breezed her a few times and I was really
impressed the way she was training.@
Pedigree Notes:
The sire of four crops of racing age, Atlanta Hall Farm's Cupid(Tapit) counts this 5-year-old mare as his highest earner.
Ashley's Glory, a half-sister to MSW Grimm (Hansel) and SW

TRAVERS RUNNER-UP DISARM RELOADING
FOR 2024 by Steve Sherack

Disarm training for last year's Kentucky Derby | CoadySUNDAY • JANUARY 21, 2024

Disarm (c, 4, Gun Runner--Easy Tap, by Tapit), sidelined sincefinishing a closing second behind Arcangelo (Arrogate) in the
GI Travers S. at Saratoga Aug. 26, has returned to training withHall of Famer Steve Asmussen at the Fair Grounds.
A respectable fourth at 27-1 in the GI Kentucky Derby, last
term's GIII Matt Winn S. winner and GII Twinspires.com
Louisiana Derby runner-up exited his second-place finish in theTravers with bone bruising, per David Fiske, longtime advisor toowner/breeder Ron Winchell.
AHe was walking visibly off after the Travers,@ Fiske said. AGot
him back to the barn and whipped out the X-ray machine. We
were all standing there looking at the X-rays and everybody
looked at one another and went, 'Do you see anything? I don't
see anything.' So, that was a big relief that it wasn't anything
more serious. We got him down to Lexington and he wasdiagnosed with some bone bruising.@
He added, AWe weren't gonna make any significant races atthe end of the year, so we said, 'Let's just give him as much time
off as he needs.'@
Following approximately nine weeks of recommended
downtime, a positron emission tomography (PET) scan revealed
that Disarm still Ahad some spots that lit up on him@ and he wasgiven an additional 30 days off before returning to training.

The 'TDN Rising Star' now has a pair of four-furlong breezes
under his belt since returning to the worktab in New Orleans,
stopping the clock in :53.80 (42/43) Jan. 8 and :50.80 (18/26)
Jan. 18, respectively.
AWe gave him some extra time and now he's back,@ Fiske said.
AHe looks great, travels great and has always been a greatlooking horse. Hopefully, we can make some noise with him thisyear.@

Disarm | Sarah Andrew

Disarm recorded four straight triple-digit Beyer Speed Figureslast year, beginning with his aforementioned effort on the first
Saturday in May. He earned a career-high 103 Beyer over a
muddy surface in the Travers, his first career start racing withblinkers. The handsome chestnut has posted a record of 9-2-3-2
and career earnings of $1,000,200.
While acknowledging that it's still very early days, Fiske said
that this summer's GI Whitney S. at Saratoga, a race won by his
leading sire in 2017, could be in play for the WinchellThoroughbreds homebred.
AGiven the level at which he ran last year, if he can get back tothat, then you'd expect to see him in some of the bigger orbiggest races around,@ Fiske said. AIt would be kinda cool if we
could get him cranked up for the Whitney, but that's a long way
off. We're gonna need to get some more works. He's still pretty
early stages.@
One of nine 'Rising Stars' for Gun Runner, Disarm is a
half-brother to Venezuelan champion stayer Tap Daddy (Scat
Daddy), who was also a stakes winner and graded-stakes placedon these shores. Disarm's dam Easy Tap, a $300,000 FTKJUL

Fierceness since taking the GI Breeders' Cup Juvenile Nov. 3. The
homebred is expected to make his sophomore debut in the GIII
Holy Bull S. at Gulfstream Park Feb. 3.
AFierceness has trained super. He=s such a terrific workhorse.
He does everything effortlessly,@ trainer Todd Pletcher said. AI
think with Fierceness we feel like the quality=s there [and] thetalent=s there. Like everyone else we just need to keep moving
forward and stay healthy.@
Tentative plans call for Fierceness to use the Holy Bull as a
steppingstone to the GI Florida Derby Mar. 31. Fellow 'RisingStar' Forte (Violence) won last year's GII Fountain of Youth S.
and Florida Derby.
ASo far it=s worked out really well,@ Pletcher said. AWe didn=t
have to let him down too much after the Breeders= Cup [and]kept him ticking over with the Holy Bull in mind. We kind of liked
the spacing coming out of that to the Florida Derby andhopefully things continue on towards Kentucky.@

March grad Sweet Mini (Good Magic). Handwover has a 2-yearold Kantharos filly and is due to Violence this year.

Maymun | Benoit

Maymun (Frosted), a $50,000 KEESEP yearling pinhooked into
a $900,000 OBS April 2-year-old by Paul Neatherlin, and racing
for trainer Bob Baffert and Zedan Racing Stables, absolutely
rolled on the front end Saturday in his 6 1/2-furlong debut tobecome the latest 'TDN Rising Star'.
Maymun was an OBS April star, breezing in :9 3/5 and leaving
no doubt in his now-trainer's mind of his ability.
AHe was ridiculously fast,@ Baffert said of the colt shortly after
the sale. AHe worked beautifully and came out of it well. That's
half the battle.@
AThis was one of the best horses in the sale, I thought,@ added
bloodstock agent Donato Lanni in Ocala. AHe deserved to bringthat kind of money.@Entered Saturday off a best-of-65 drill Jan. 13, the betting
public had plenty of confidence in Zedan Racing Stables colt,
sending him off at 4-5 opposite his $1.05m stablemate
Normandy Landing (Gun Runner). Driven to the lead right fromthe jump under Juan Hernandez, Maymun had things all his own
way up front and proceeded to rocket through fractions of:21.72 and :43.91. Spinning for home, as the rest of the field was
already strung out and under a drive, Hernandez tossed one
look over his shoulder and unleashed his mount into the final
furlong, opening up at will before gearing the son of Frosted
down for the easiest of wins.
The third 'Rising Star' for Frosted, Maymun is out of a fullsister to MSP Auspicious, herself the dam of $1.1m OBSAPR RNA
and SP Bobby Bo (Speightster), and a half-sister GSP Flatter Than
Me (Flatter). Maymun's own half-sister, Rivercame (Awesome
Again), while not a winner herself, produced $300,000 OBS

GUN RUNNER COLT ROMPS TO 'TDN RISINGSTARDOM' AT FAIR GROUNDSHall of Fame (c, 3, Gun Runner--Flag Day, by Giant's
Causeway), a $1.4-million Fasig-Tipton Saratoga yearling
purchase, ran to his lofty purchase price with a 'TDN Rising Star'
performance for Hall of Famer Steve Asmussen at second asking
at Fair Grounds Saturday.
The 4-5 favorite was ridden early while passing the stands forthe first time and secured a tracking trip in a joint second
through a quarter mile in :23.30. He turned up the heat beneathJoel Rosario while racing on the inside of the leader heading into
the far turn, hit the front approaching the quarter pole andopened daylight from there to win by 10 1/4 lengths overSweetalkingbourbon (Twirling Candy). He becomes the 10th
'Rising Star' for Gun Runner.
Hall of Fame, one of seven by Gun Runner to bring seven
figures at the 2022 yearling sales, finished second as the favorite
on debut going seven furlongs at Churchill Downs Nov. 26. He
was racing with first-time Lasix on Saturday.
The unraced Flag Day, a half-sister to MGSP Street Ready(More Than Ready), had a colt by Gun Runner in 2022 ($725,000
RNA yrl '23 FTSAUG) and a colt by Constitution in 2023. She wasbred to Justify for 2024. Hall of Fame is bred similarly to therecently retired MGISW Gunite (Gun Runner), who was
produced by a daughter of Cowboy Cal (by Giant's Causeway).

Fresh off a second-place performance over course anddistance in the Untapable S. Dec. 23, West Omaha managed to
do one better and pick up an additional 20 points on the Road to
the Kentucky Oaks Saturday with her win in the Silverbulletday
S. With a total of 30 points, the homebred daughter of Gary andMary West's young stallion West Coast now sits second behind
GI Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies winner Just F Y I (Justify) on the2024 Oaks leaderboard.
Never favored in any of her three prior starts, West Omaha
finally earned the nod Saturday, breaking at 4-5 from the middleof the gate under Luis Saez. Despite lunging to the inside in her
opening stride, the favorite quickly had her feet under her andwas part of the speed into the first turn. Sitting just off
pacesetters Accommodate Eva (Munnings) and Miss Code West
(Code West), she tracked that pair while two wide up thebackstretch through a half in :48.84. Given the cue from Saez
midway around the turn, West Omaha responded readily andwas up to challenge three wide as the top group swung into thestretch. With plenty of clear running room ahead of her into thefinal furlong, she kicked clear for home, leaving Perfect Shot tochase her to the wire while staying well clear for the win.
From the extended family of GI Breeders' Cup Dirt Mile winnerand late sire Tapizar (Tapit), West Omaha is the fourth stakes
winner for Lane's End-based stallion West Coast and the third
winner from as many to run for her dam. Birthday Bash has a 2year-old Bernardini filly in the pipeline and produced a filly by

Well off the pace set by $1.1-million KEESEP grad Coinvest(City of Light), he was patiently handled from the rear of the
field until they hit the far bend, starting his relentless march to
the lead while still on his left lead. Rallying under a full head ofsteam, Royal Majesty nailed the game longtime leader by aneck. Aptly named and with a purple catalog page, the winner isthe most recent to get his picture taken for Grade I-winning dam
Crown Queen, herself a half-sister to a fleet of accomplishedracehorses including the late two-time champion MGISW Royal
Delta (Empire Maker) and GISW Delta Prince (Street Cry {Ire}).
By one of Europe=s most sought-after sires, Royal Majesty alsocounts a placed elder half-sibling by Dubawi (Ire), and a 2-yearold half-sister by Kingman (GB) who was brought to the States aswell. Their dam did not record any cover for 2023 and is due to

GHALIA PRINCESS (f, 3, American Pharoah--Ghalia {SW,$168,800}, by Medaglia d'Oro) debuted with Lasix as a 6-1 shot
here. The 3-year-old raced along the rail in the second flight asfirst time starter Motown Dynamic (Mo Town) showed the way.
The filly waited patiently for her cue around the far turn, was letloose as she tipped out at the top of the long stretch and got up
with a bob over the pacesetter. A half-sister to GSP Lucrezia(Into Mischief), the winner's dam is responsible for a yearling
colt by Constitution and she was bred to Not This Time for 2024.

Carmelina (Maximus Mischief), wrapped her juvenile season inthird Dec. 13 against open maiden company at this venue.
Getting her 2024 rolling here in sideways snow fall, she kept thepace honest before putting away the debuting leader leaving
the bend. In command, but with her gap closing as
Goodnightgodblss (Enticed) grinded her way into latecontention, the favorite prevailed in a photo on the line. The
third winner from as many as the dam was able to produce,

the leading pair from the inside as :22.40 and :46.31 early
fractions went up. Splitting runners passing the three sixteenths
marker, he established a narrow advantage while idling on thewrong lead heading into the lane but opened up his advantage
to a length after swapping over inside the final sixteenth.

field around the far turn. The filly cruised under a hand ride to
win by 1 1/4 lengths over the late running Derby Hangover(Violence). The winner is a half-sister to Aquamarine(Gemologist), SP, $202,412 and a full-sister to a yearling filly.

GRECIAN GODDESS (f, 3, Constitution--Ammannati {Ire}, by

settled mid-pack into the first turn, began to pick off rivals up
the backstretch and intensified her attack to the outside aroundthe far turn. Facing fellow first time starter Birdwatching(Karakontie {Jpn}) who was also just on the scene at the top of
the lane, the pair drew off all the way to wire with Grecian
Goddess winning the photo. Out of a strong extended femalefamily which includes second dam GISW Acoma (Empire Maker)
and third dam GSP Aurora (Danzig), who were both bred by
Helen Alexander and her late mother, the winner is her unraced
dam's first offspring. Ammannati produced a colt by Munnings

When Michelangelo sculpted David, you'd imagine he took thetime to stand back, blow the dust off of his brow and marvel at
his masterpiece, wouldn't you?
Like David, Tally-Ho Stud has taken years of hard chiseling but
you must be living in Lalaland if you think Tony O'Callaghan is a
man for slowing down and taking in all that has been achieved.
If there's one thing O'Callaghan hates more than arrogance it's
idleness. With 200 mares on the farm, considerably more
yearlings and foals coming through the system, a sizable
breeze-up consignment and, of course, the bread and butterthat are the stallions to tend to, there isn't a whole pile of timeleft over in a day for slacking.
But what drives a man, who has an uncanny knack of avoiding
questions he doesn't want to answer--including those about hisage--to attack each morning the same as his sons Roger, 43, andHenry, 41?
"I like action," he says, unapologetically. "I do. They say there
are two chairs you should never sit in; the electric chair and thearmchair. They're not putting me into a bin any time soon! Why
do some people live to do nothing? I can never understand it."Cont. p3

Tony and Anne O=Callaghan | Tattersalls

Good Guess Cont.
The hope is that Good Guess, who claimed the notable scalp of
2,000 Guineas winner Chaldean when storming to Prix Jean Prat
glory at Deauville last summer, can be the latest good horse that
the O'Callaghans will be associated with.
The horse had been on Tally-Ho's radar ever since Cheveley
Park Stud flagged that they had a good Kodiac at the Tattersalls
October Book 1 Yearling Sale in 2021. They were right.
Good Guess went on to make 420,000gns to Sebastien
Desmontils and the O'Callaghans have been tracking his
progression ever since. In fact, so sure they were that Good
Guess would be a good fit at Tally-Ho, a deal was done not longafter he had crossed the line in front in that Group 1.
"Sure he'd be whipped from underneath you," says Tony,
explaining why there wasn't even time to hop on a plane to get
the deal done. Instead, it was trashed out on the phone. "These
things are done quickly."
It has been well-reported that, in order to secure Good Guess,a lot of money needed to change hands.
"You've got to try and win the lottery. Pay your money, takeyour chance," is how Roger sums up the transaction. Henry
adds, "It's grand when you're right. There's never a bad time tobuy a good horse but then there's never a good time to buy a
bad horse. If you can buy a good horse, what you pay for it
ultimately doesn't matter. The economics of this game, it's
unique, isn't it?"
He adds, "Given how much stallions are costing at the
moment, you need them to work in order for the whole thing to
make economic sense. It's a big test of how bad you want ahorse if you are prepared to send it a clatter of your own
mares."
Good Guess, along with the rest of the stallion roster at
Tally-Ho, won't be lacking in that department.
Tony explains, "When the stallions do well, it's huge. But,
when the stallions do bad, it's an absolute nightmare. Whenthey don't click, you suffer. There's a queue up for Good Guessbut we'll support him as well. It's very simple; back your own.

SUNDAY • 21 JANUARY 2024

"The way it works is, you look after everyone else first.
Whenever we can get a slot for him, we'll send him a mare.
We'll send him between 30 and 50 of our own mares but wewon't know how many until the end of May. "On what makes Good Guess an attractive stallion proposition,
he adds, "Sure you could see below, his action and his physique.
The bone structure is there and he has a nice big eye and a nicehead. He floats around the yard there. Those are his strong
points. Everyone who has come to see him, they all love him."
Could he be the heir to the throne?
"Never," says Tony, half-insulted. "I don't think we'll ever get
an heir to that horse. We'd love one. But I don't think we'll everfind another Kodiac."
And with that, the master of Tally-Ho leaves the table to tend
to more pressing duties in the yard. He's not one for sitting, you
know. But was he always like that?
"I'll never forget I was covering a mare with Dad," Roger
recalls. "He was holding the mare and I had Danetime. When
Danetime went to get up on the mare, she reared. Dad had thelead rope wrapped around his thumb and the thumb went withthe lead rope. Severed it. Straight off.
"I'll never forget it. And then, when he went into the hospital,
all he was telling me was, 'I'm really sorry.' I was saying, 'what
are you sorry for?'"Anyway, he did a night in hospital but was back in the yard
the following morning. He had a big bandage on his hand out
cleaning water troughs that day. But what happened next?
Didn't the f**king bucket fall over and of course he went to grab
it. Bang. It bounced off the thumb.
"Oh Jesus, I'll never forget it. The poor f**ker nearly died withthe pain. But as soon as he could get back going, he was out inthat yard. You can count the number of days on one hand that
Dad has taken off work in his life. Seriously. He just loves it."And that, ladies and gentleman, is the difference. Cont. p5

Caught U Looking
I'd been watching her going around the back ring at the Goffs
Autumn Yearling Sale and was wondering whether or not I
should bid for her. Next thing, she went into the ring and Peter
Nolan bought her for Noel Meade. I said I'd take her. They told
me the most I could have was a half, so I took half. She's a nicefilly. I'm hoping she will go on this season but we'll see, won't
we? I'm hoping she'll stay a mile plus. We could have sold her 10times over but we'll roll the dice. I'd be hoping she can stay amile-and-a-half. That's what I'd like. She has plenty of size andscope. It would be nice to have a runner in the Oaks.
Working the Sales
There are people giving out about the industry but, when they
go to the sales, they are fiddling around and they wouldn't do
any homework. A lot of the trainers are like that. Willie Mullins
started with eight or nine horses. Gordon Elliott started with one
or two. When you go to the sales, do you go to zone in or you go
to be sociable for the day? You can only do one or the other.
You can't do both. If you want to buy something, you have to
pay attention, not be in and out of the bar. I've nothing againstthat but it's gone a bit like that. The sales are competitive. We're

We always had National Hunt horses going back years ago. I
quite like National Hunt horses. As the fella says, what do you do
in January? I always felt the first day of Spring was Thyestes Day.
Long ago, when we were young, Thyestes Day marked the startof Spring.
Polarisation
It is gone polarised but you can always sell a nice horse. It's
always been the model first for me. If you can get the sire as
well, then you are away. The model will always get you out oftrouble, though.

What=s the one horse you wish you=d bought in 2023?
It was a filly foal by Blue Point (Ire) at Goffs. I was theunderbidder but I wish I bought her.
The questionnaire series continues with trainer Diego Dias in
the spotlight.
Proudest moment of 2023?
Mansa Musa (Ire) (Ten Sovereigns {Ire}) winning at Goodwood.
It was a great day, the owners were there and everyone wasvery excited. It worked out as we planned and it was a greatday.

Biggest regret?
I don=t have any regrets. I feel very lucky about where I am
now and the hard work that me and my team is doing is paying
off. Hopefully we=ll keep the results going in 2024.
Biggest influence on your career?
I have to say my Dad. He was a jockey and a trainer and I
always wanted to be like him.

What is your biggest ambition for the new year?
I=d like to win a Group race this year.
Give us one horse to follow and why?
I have to say Gaenari (Ire) (Inns Of Court {Ire}). She ran reallywell for us last year and, while she has not won yet, I think she=sa filly to follow. She looks a different filly this year.
And a young person in the industry to keep an eye onY
Danny Sheehy. He rides a good bit for me. He's a very goodrider but just needs the opportunities. I think he=ll ride plenty ofwinners for us this year.
Who do you think will be champion first-season sire this year?
It=s very hard to say but I liked the Pinatubos at the sales. The
look like they are really sharp horses and, if I had to guess, I=dgive Pinatubo (Ire) a big chance.
And the best value stallion in Europe?
I would say Arizona (Ire). He=s a son of No Nay Never and, atonly five thousand, I think he=s good value. I have a nice filly byhim. She goes very well.

SUNDAY • 21 JANUARY 2024

stallion's stylish local record when he goes in search of a maiden
Group 1 success in the G1 Stewards' Cup Sunday at Sha Tin.
The chances of Voyage Bubble--and those of his seven rivals-have been done no damage by the absence of G1 Longines Hong
Kong Mile hero Golden Sixty (Aus) (Medaglia d'Oro), who is on
the mend and in slow work after suffering a minor injury. He has
three months to get ready for the G1 FWD Champions Mile inlate April, but in the meantime, the spotlight is there to bestolen--at least temporarily.
The upset winner of last year's age-restricted Hong KongClassic Mile and BMW Hong Kong Derby, Voyage Bubble was
fourth to the reigning Horse of the Year in last year's Champions
Mile and has run well without winning in two starts this term. A
first-up third to Beauty Eternal (Aus) (Starspangledbanner {Aus})and Beauty Joy (Aus) (Sebring {Aus}) in the G2 Jockey Club Mile
Nov. 19, he outran a quote of $31 to finish closest to Golden
Sixty on international day. James McDonald jets back into the
SAR for trainer Ricky Yiu.
ALet's see how much this horse can give,@ said Yiu. ATheimpression I have is there is another level. I would say (I am)
optimistic. He will definitely perform again.@
Deep Field is the runaway leading sire in Hong Kong by
number of winners (16) and progeny earnings (HK$36.7 million).
A good run Sunday could translate into a first start on foreignsoil for Voyage Bubble.
AWe'll see how he goes on Sunday and then we can definitely
think about possible races for him to run overseas. Dubai andone of the races in Australia, maybe--there are a few options
there,@ said Yiu, who has entered Voyage Bubble for the G1Dubai Turf at Meydan Mar. 30.
Beauty Eternal could not repeat the dose in the Hong Kong
Mile, finishing an even sixth as a $4.60 (18-5) chance. He willattempt to give trainer John Size a record-extending eighth win
in the Stewards' Cup. Cont. p9

ABeauty Eternal=s trials have looked good,@ said Purton, whocarried the Patrick Kwok silks to victory aboard Beauty
Generation (NZ) in 2019. AHe seems to have come through his
run in December in good shape and it=ll be good to be back onhim--hopefully he can produce his best.@
Straight Arron (Aus) (Fastnet Rock {Aus}) was beaten 3/4 of alength into fourth--with some trouble--by Romantic Warrior (Ire)(Acclamation {GB}) in the G1 Longines Hong Kong Cup and isusing this as a prep for either the G1 Citi Hong Kong Gold Cup(2000m) or potential overseas targets in Qatar and/or Dubai.
The same applies for Russian Emperor (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}), who
was sixth here before taking the Amir Trophy last February in
Doha.
California Spangle (Ire) (Starspangledbanner {Aus}) was third
to Golden Sixty in last year's Stewards' Cup, but needs to lift on
his current form, which includes a 13th in the Hong Kong Milelast time.

PUNTURA THUNDERS TO GROUP 1 GLORYIN NZ by Keely Mckitterick
It was a rare Saturday in Australia with no stakes races acrossthe states. However, across the Tasman Sea, New Zealand'sTrentham racetrack held its 63rd edition of the G1 Thorndon
Mile, which saw the Robbie Patterson-trained Puntura (NZ)
(Vespa {NZ}) rocket to Group 1 glory.
His stablemate One Bold Cat (NZ) (The Bold One {NZ}) ran
gamely to finish fourth over the unsuitable distance.
Puntura has been a star for Patterson. The son of Vespa (NZ)
has 11 races, with the Thorndon Mile being his first Group 1
success. The Thorndon Mile brings his undefeated run to three,claiming the G2 Manawatu Challenge S. and the G3 Coupland=s
Bakeries Mile before Saturday.
Finishing second was El Vencedor (NZ) (Shocking {Aus}), while
Lady Telena (NZ) (Vespa {NZ}) ran third. Star mare Campionessa(NZ) (Contributer {Ire}) held on to finish seventh, having been inarguably the wrong part of the track. The ex-Chris
Waller-trained pair No Compromise (NZ) (Pins {Aus}) andSkyman (GB) (Mukhadram {GB}) finished fifth and eighth,respectively.

Pedigree Notes
Puntura was bred by his owners, Carole and John Lynskey. He
is from the dual-winning Magic Of Sydney mare Mumzahoney(NZ). She won over 1600 and 2100 metres and has produced
three other winners. Two of whom have been successful at
metropolitan level--Margherita Veloce (NZ) (also by Vespa) and
Four Degrees (NZ) (Shocking {Aus}).

SUNDAY • 21 JANUARY 2024

The gelding is one of the five stakes winners (and the first at
the elite level) for his Mapperley Stud-based Group 1-winningsire--a son of Elusive City.
Retired from stud duties with her final foal being a full-brotherto Puntura foaled in 2022, Mumzahoney hails from the family of
the stakes winners Foxbay (NZ) (Zephyr Bay {Aus}), Ellakapella(NZ) (Pompeii Court), Warrentherooster (NZ) (Savabeel {Aus})and Jason Belltree (NZ) (Ferlax {NZ}).
