HIGHLAND FALLS ROLLSTO VICTORY IN
JOCKEY CLUB GOLD CUPSARATOGA NOTEBOOK, SPONSORED BYNYRA BETS: LUKAS WOULD RELISH A
SPECIAL BIRTHDAY GIFT by Mike KaneSARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. B Without hesitation Sunday morning,
Hall of Fame trainer D. Wayne Lukas said he knows what he will
be doing Monday, his 89th birthday.
ATraining horses,@ he said. AI got two in, and I'll see if I canmake it a special day by trying to get those things at least closer
or win one. I told Laurie, my wife, >for a birthday present, I'd likesee one of them jump up and win.'@A victory on closing day of the Saratoga Race Course season
would enable Lukas to have a positive end to what he said has
been a less-than-satisfying summer. He entered Sunday with a
1-5-2 record from 29 starts.
AThe nice thing is, I still enjoy getting on that pony and riding
out there and training and seeing the results and everything,@ hesaid. ABut it has been very frustrating from a standpoint of
where I thought I could take some of these horses.@ Cont. p7

Highland Falls | Sarah Andrew

IN TDN EUROPE TODAY

Godolphin=s Highland Falls (Curlin) outdueled favored Arthur's
Ride (Tapit) and strode home an easy winner of the GI Jockey
Club Gold Cup Sunday at Saratoga. The 4-year-old earned his
first top-level victory, as well as an automatic berth in the GI
Breeders= Cup Classic, and gave jockey Flavien Prat his recordsetting 13 graded win of the meeting.
Arthur=s Ride, coming off a win in the GI Whitney Stakes,
rushed up and over from his outside post and had a clear
advantage heading into the first turn through an opening
quarter in :23.25, but Highland Falls inched up to be a menacing
presence just to his outside and hounded the flashy graythrough a half in :47.67 and three-quarters in 1:11.31. Highland
Falls rolled up to put his head in front midway on the far turnand, while Arthur's Ride attempted to fight his way back to thelead in upper stretch, the 7-1 shot found another gear with afurlong to run and strode home a four-length winner. Pyrenees(Into Mischief) closed to be second while never threatening thewinner. Disarm (Gun Runner) just nipped Tapit Trice (Tapit) for
third and Arthur's Tale tired to fifth.
AI thought if one horse could handle the distance, it was him,@
Prat said of Highland Falls, who was making his second try at
1 1/4 miles following a fourth-place effort in the GI Santa Anita
Handicap in March. Cont. p3

Highland Falls Rolls in Gold Cup (cont. from p1)
AWe wanted to break running and then try to make a good
pace,@ Prat continued. AThat was the case, and we got past thewire for the first time, it felt like Arthur=s Ride was going a bit
quicker, easier than me, so I don=t need to go on, but I was able
to get him outside after that and give him another push. He wasjust a well of stamina.
AI wanted to get him into a good rhythm and get him runninggoing into the first turn, and I didn=t want to let Arthur=s Ride get
an easy lead. And then, that was it.@
Arthur's Ride was made the 4-5 favorite in the Gold Cup off ofa pair of dominant front-running victories, so winning trainer
Brad Cox admitted to some anxious moments watching thebattle up front.
AI was hopeful. I don=t know if I would use the word
>confident,=@ Cox said of Highland Falls's match-up with Arthur's
Ride. A[Arthur=s Ride] has been awful impressive up here in hislast two races. If you don=t get any pressure [on Arthur=s Ride]and you=re on a loose lead--he=s obviously proved he=s a Grade I
horse. We weren=t going to let him just walk the dog. We
wanted to be aggressive, and it paid off for us.@Highland Falls in Gold Cup winner's circle | Sarah Andrew
Cox added, AWe were head-and-head with him and I thought,at the three-eighths pole, Flavien gave him every chance to win
the race. When they straightened up, it looked like he wasgetting the better of him and then I started watching the horses
coming from the back--watching Disarm, Pyrenees and thehorses I thought might be closing late. He held them at bay. I
was very proud of the effort.@
Of the beaten favorite, trainer Bill Mott said, AThe horse ran
hard last time. Now we have 60 days back to the Breeders= Cup.
We=ll have time to regroup. Hopefully, he comes back good, andwe can move forward and try to train for that.

MONDAY • SEPTEMBER 2, 2024

TDN HEADLINE NEWS • PAGE 4 OF 15 • THETDN.COM

AI knew they would try to keep him [Highland Falls] up in therace. I don=t think it was any secret. Frankly, I was a little
surprised they were able to keep him there that close. He took it
to us. I don=t have any big excuse.@
In addition to the graded-stakes record, the win gave Prat a
record-extending 17th stakes win of the Saratoga meeting. He
had set the record with his 16th stakes win of the season in the
GIII Saranac Stakes Friday.
AIt=s a great honor,@ Prat said of the records. AIt=s obviously agreat group of riders and very talented riders. I=ve been learning
a lot around them and it=s a team effort. My agent Brad
[Pegram] has done an incredible job to book me on very goodhorses, and trainers and owners give me the opportunity. I=mvery thankful.@
The lightly raced Highland Falls, making just his ninth career
start Sunday, opened 2024 with an optional-claimer win at Fair
Grounds in January. He made his stakes debut while fourth in
the GI Santa Anita Handicap in March and he was second in the
Apr. 20 GII Oaklawn Handicap before earning his first gradedvictory in the June 1 Blame Stakes at Churchill Downs. He was a
distant second behind Tapit Trice (Tapit) in the July 20
GIII Monmouth Cup last time out.

Brad Cox and Godolphin's Michael Banahan | Sarah Andrew
The Gold Cup is a 'Win and You're In' challenge race for the
GI Breeders' Cup Classic in November at Del Mar.
Asked if he had a plan to get to championship weekend, Coxsaid, AI don't know. I know he=s getting on a van tomorrow andgoing back to Churchill. We=ll come up with a game plan, but
he=s a cool horse. He=s a really nice colt and he=s been in training
since last summer--or maybe even late last spring. We=ve spaced
his races because he was rolling along this winter. We gave him
a shot this winter in a Grade I going 1 1/4 miles and I don=t think
he was quite seasoned enough. He=s continued to move forward
throughout the year.@

Formidable Man, favored off a win in the Oceanside Stakes at
Del Mar July 20, stormed to the lead and held off Stay Hot lateto earn his first graded victory in the GII Del Mar Derby at theoceanside oval Sunday. The 6-5 favorite was away smartly
before settling off the pace as longshot Sketchy (Uncle Mo) set apedestrian pace. The tempo quickened noticeably on the farturn and Formidable Man rolled up three wide into the lane tohit the lead at midstretch. Stay Hot tried in vain to reel in thefavorite late.
AWhen it's a small field like that, it's always tactical,@ said
winning rider Umberto Rispoli. AMy first intention was to go
outside and lead and I know at some point I need to get a jumpon him [Stay Hot] but thanks to [trainer] Michael [McCarthy], we
did it. He has been improving race by race, with credit to the
McCarthy team. The key was to get the jump on Stay Hot and I
think it worked okay for us. I am certainly happy with that.@

McCarthy, who trained the winner's multiple Grade I-winning
sire for these same owners, added, AA salty bunch of horses like
this, there's not a whole lot separating the top three. I wouldn't
say I was confident; I just was very happy with the way thehorse had trained.@

Formidable Man | Benoit

TDN HEADLINE NEWS • PAGE 7 OF 15 • THETDN.COM

Formidable Man, a maiden winner over the Del Mar lawn lastSeptember, took a nine-furlong optional claimer over the Santa
Anita turf in March and set the pace before settling for second
behind Trikari (Oscar Performance) in the May 4 GII American
Turf Stakes at Churchill Downs. Sixth in the June 1 Audubon
Stakes, he returned to the West Coast to win the one-mile
Oceanside last time out.
Pedigree Notes:
Formidable Man is the fourth graded winner for City of Light.
His dam, Fanticola, won the 2015 GII Royal Heroine Stakes andwas second in the GI Gamely Stakes. The 14-year-old mare has ayearling filly by Knicks Go and produced a filly by Jack

Four of those five seconds came in 2-year-old maiden special
weight races, which Lukas said may show that his youngsters areon the verge of producing some victories.
AI didn't get that one, Ripped (City of Light), even started, andhe's one that we really think is special,@ Lukas said. AI hope, tohave a big fall. We should come up strong in the fall, and thenI'm comfortable, if I can just develop them at Hot Springs over
the winter.@Ever the optimist, Lukas was promoting his 2-year-olds lastsummer and predicting great things for 2024. One of the colts
he was touting was My Racehorse's Seize the Grey (Arrogate).
Seize the Grey, who broke his maiden in July and was third in
the Skidmore Stakes. In May, Seize the Grey won the
GI Preakness Stakes, making Lukas the oldest trainer to win a
Triple Crown race.
ALaurie reminded me of that today,@ he said. AShe remindedme that we won a Classic this year. I was complaining. I have atendency to think that they all have to win.@

Seize the Grey was seventh in the GI Belmont Stakes atSaratoga on June 8 and finished fourth in the GII Jim Dandy
Stakes on July 27. The decision was made to bypass the GI
DraftKings Travers Stakes on Aug 24 and prepare him for the $1million GI Pennsylvania Derby on Sept. 21 at Parx.
AWe've got to sneak over there with him,@ Lukas said. AThat
would be another nice one to get.@Lukas has always been forward-looking and he said another
Seize the Grey scenario is possible.
AI think that we've got a great shot to win some Classics nextyear,@ he said. AI really like our 2-year-olds. I know I've been
saying that right along, but we bought horses that are definitely
Classic-type horses, and we've asked them to do some things
that aren't in their wheelhouse like, 5 1/2 furlongs, six furlongs
and stuff like that. I think that as they develop this fall, and theylook like they're going in the right direction to me, that they'rebig, sound horses, I think we have a chance to really step up andhave a big spring. I'm hoping for a big spring, and turning 90.@
When he was at the top of the sport, Lukas managed anationwide stable stocked with dozens of horses. At this point in
his career, he feels that 40 horses is enough.
AI was concerned five, six years ago,@ he said. AWhen you get alittle age on you, people start turning to the younger people. I

from 35 starts--the 10th race Monday.

AHe's a maiden, but he ran a nice second,@ Lukas said. AHe's adeveloping horse. The way I looked at that, he doesn't know he
was second. He was flying at the end there. If he won, we would
have said, >Well, we got to point him for the Hopeful.' He didn't
win, but we're still pointing for the Hopeful. I've done that
before.@End of An Era as Rice Approaches Retirement
Although he hasn't made it official yet, Harry Rice thinks
Monday might be his final day as a NYRA valet at Saratoga Race
Course. He has talked about retirement before, but he said this
could be the year he steps away from a job he has had--working
with and for jockeys--for nearly 50 years.
AI've had a great run,@ he said.
Rice, 66, said he has been aiming to retire at the end of the2025 Saratoga season. He said he likely will leave sooner if acontract with the union that represents valets and the people
who work in the silks room completes negotiations on a newcontract with NYRA. The contract may include incentives for him
to retire. Rice is the shop steward.
With a friendly, outgoing personality, Rice is a well-known
figure at the NYRA tracks. That is especially true at Saratoga
where jockeys and valets walk through the crowd to thepaddock and back to the jocks' dressing room after each race. It

SARATOGA COULD HOST EXTRA WEEKEND
OF RACING IN 2025 by Mike KaneSARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. B There could be another weekend of
racing at Saratoga Race Course in 2025, if a plan being
considered by the New York Racing Association is adopted.
Although the racing would take place at the historic upstate
facility, NYRA officials said it technically would not be an
expansion of the 40-day Saratoga season. If the proposal isapproved, the Fourth of July weekend--July 4 falls on a Friday--atSaratoga would be the final days of the Belmont of Aqueduct
meet. The Saratoga season would begin on Thursday, July 10.
AThat requires Board approval. That requires state approval,@
NYRA president David O'Rourke said. AYou're just asking me,
what's on the table, what we're thinking about? That's one of
the things we're thinking about.@
The changes, most notably moving the GI Belmont Stakes toSaratoga this year and in 2025, is due to the reconstruction of
Belmont Park.

For the second consecutive year, the GI Belmont Stakes will beheld in 2025 at Saratoga on June 7. This year, it was surrounded
by a four-day festival.
NYRA spokesperson Patrick McKenna said that, under the
proposal being discussed, racing would return to Aqueduct forthree more weeks and then move back to Saratoga Race Course
for the final weekend of the Belmont at Aqueduct meet.
McKenna said that if such a plan is approved to finish the
Belmont at Aqueduct meet at Saratoga in 2025, it may be forjust one year pending the re-opening of Belmont Park.
Although there has been a great deal of speculation inSaratoga this summer that NYRA would stay upstate after the2025 Belmont Stakes, O'Rourke said that would not happen.
However, O'Rourke noted that the field for the GI Belmont
Derby this year might have been negatively affected because
more of the horse population was already upstate due to the
Belmont Stakes at Saratoga Festival. Closing the Belmont at
Aqueduct meet at Saratoga in 2025 and running the Belmont
Derby there might mitigate that problem.
AWe pretty much have to go back after the Belmont for accessto the grass,@ O'Rourke said. AThere is one race that might beinteresting to move up here. That would be the Belmont Derby,
because that's the last weekend down there.

AWhat we saw when we went back from a racing aspect is it
was great to get a lot of divisions, specific divisions, access to theturf, but some of the higher-quality horses were waiting forSaratoga and might have impacted the Belmont Derby a little
bit. The Belmont Derby belongs to Belmont Park, but in the nearterm, that might be one thing, but that's a far cry from not goingback down south.@

FEROCIOUS READY TO RUMBLE IN HOPEFUL

Ferocious | Sarah Andrew
The holiday weekend of stakes action--and the Saratoga meet-conclude in style when morning-line favorite Ferocious (Flatter)faces eight rivals in contentious renewal of the GI Hopeful
Stakes. Campaigned by JR Ranch, Ramiro Restrepo, High Step
Racing and OGMA Investments, the $1.3-million OBS March
graduate romped to a 7 3/4-length debut win and earned a 'TDN
Rising Star' label Aug. 3. Off a step slow in that unveiling,
Ferocious settled in a good stalking position behind an opening
quarter-mile in :22.06 over a muddy and sealed main track.
Tipped out to the three path at the quarter-pole through ahalf-mile in :45.61, he was in command with a furlong to run,scoring in a final time of 1:09.65 for six furlongs. The winning
effort earned a 96 Beyer Speed Figure--the highest number
recorded by any 2-year-old this year.
Ferocious has worked twice since that debut win, going four
furlongs in :50.88 (48/64) Aug. 18 and five furlongs in 1:02.63(3/6) Aug. 24.
ASince his first race, everything has been pretty
straightforward with him,@ said Gustavo Delgado, Jr., son andassistant to trainer Gustavo Delgado, Sr. AHe's had a couple ofbreezes--both of them very easy and all the signs you want to
see with a horse after his first race are there. It's hard to say
after a 96 Beyer Speed Figure first time out that he's going to

improve, but it's more about getting the foundation that young
horses at this time of the year need. Everybody is excited to see
him run again.@
Ferocious will have another furlong to work with in the
Hopeful and Delgado said the added distance will be a benefit to
the colt, who will break from post two Monday.
AI think the extra furlong will help him. He will have more time
to relax,@ Delgado said. AHe seems to be a very nice horse. We
don't know how good he is yet, but it's just a matter of putting
him out there. We're aware of the horses he's going to face thistime and there's a few horses everybody is high on, and they
can improve a lot from one race to another.@Ferocious was the second-highest priced offering following a:9 4/5 work at the OBS March sale.
AEverybody--not just us--liked this horse and that's why we
had to pay that price for our clients,@ Delgado said. AApart from
that, he did have one of the best, if not the best, breeze for thatsale. His physique, his conformation and family all suggested he
was a really nice horse. He's got a classy way about him andwhen he walks, he's very elegant.@
Flanagan Racing's Chancer McPatrick (McKinzie), who earned
his own 'TDN Rising Star' label with his late-running debut
victory going 6 1/2 furlongs July 27 for trainer Chad Brown, will
break from post eight and is 5-2 on the morning line.

TDN HEADLINE NEWS • PAGE 14 OF 15 • THETDN.COM

ABased on his morning works, I expected him to be a mid-packtype of horse if he broke well,@ Brown said of the colt's debut
effort. ABut then he got shuffled back and found himself in avery challenging position early. I was quite impressed with theway he overcame it. Flavien [Prat] went to >Plan B= and was very
patient and the horse really came through. It's his talent thatreally prevailed.@

Chancer McPatrick | Sarah Andrew
Chancer McPatrick most recently worked four furlongs in:49.00 (19/94) over the main track at Saratoga Aug. 25.
AHe looks super. He's been training very well,@ Brown said.
Brown will also saddle Klaravich Stables' Incentive Pay(Volatile) in the Hopeful. The chestnut breaks from the outside
in the nine-horse field and is 8-1 on the morning line. He was a
debut winner with a rail-skimming rally going six furlongs at
Saratoga July 20.
AI was quite impressed with him that he was able to come up
the rail and run like a horse that has done it before,@ Brown said.
AI know he's really got to come forward on his figures--there aresome fast horses in this race--but he ran early in the meet, and I
feel I only had the horse 80% fit. I'd never breezed him past a
half-mile and I think there's a lot of room for improvement
there. He=s really done well [since].@
The Hopeful is the 10th of 12 races on Saratoga's closing-day
card with a post time of 5:43 p.m.

KEENELAND STAKES ASSIGNMENTS LIKELYNEXT FOR BRIGHTWORK, IMMERSIVE
Brightwork (Outwork), who returned from a 10-month layoff
to win the GIII Prioress Stakes at Saratoga Saturday, could makeher next start in the GII Raven Run Stakes at Keeneland Oct. 19,
if all goes well, according to trainer John Ortiz.
AWe'll let her tell us where to go next,@ Ortiz said. AThis is thebiggest effort I've seen her lay out in the afternoon--she wasrunning against 3-year-olds that have been running and I wantto make sure she comes out of it in good shape and has enoughtime to recover.@Brightwork opened her career last summer with four straight
victories, including wins in the GIII Adirondack Stakes and
GI Spinaway Stakes. She suffered her first loss when fifth whentrying two turns in the 1 1/16-mile GI Darley Alcibiades Stakes
and had not been seen since finishing sixth in the GI Breeders'
Cup Juvenile Fillies last November.
AShe just proved us right that she's an athlete,@ Ortiz said of
Saturday's return win. AShe looked so tired coming down thestretch and [runner-up] Two Sharp (Twirling Candy) was sogame with her, and they had a really good horse race. But you
could just see the class and the heart that she has for this game-she loves it. She starts nickering any time you put the saddle on
for training. She loves her job, and she definitely proved it
yesterday.@Brightwork's winning effort in the Prioress matched hercareer-best 89 Beyer Speed Figure and capped an impressive
Spa season for Ortiz, who sports a 11-6-1-1 record at the meet.
Cont. p15

TDN HEADLINE NEWS • PAGE 15 OF 15 • THETDN.COM

AIt's always great to come to Saratoga,@ Ortiz said. AIt's one of
the biggest stages in the world and it's a place where you want
to be seen and recognized to be doing well. Having success at
Saratoga is something you want on your resume, but when you
crush the meet like we did this year, it speaks volumes about
our team.@
Ortiz also has a Keeneland stakes assignment on the calendar
for Shortleaf Stable's Quietside (Malibu Moon). Tabbed a 'TDN
Rising Star' following her 6 1/4-length debut win Aug. 4, thedark bay filly was runner-up in the GI Spinaway Stakes Saturday.
Caught four wide after exiting post 11 with Luis Saez aboard in
the Spinaway, Quietside made an early move for the leadthrough the turn, opening up by 2 1/2 lengths at the stretch call,but had to settle for second, landing 1 1/4 lengths back of therallying Immersive (Nyquist).
AWe got a little unfortunate with the post, which I initially
loved, but we did get caught widest the whole race,@ Ortiz said.
ALuis tried to cut the corner coming out of the turn to get thejump on the girls, but we just got caught. It was a great ride,
great effort and we're happy to see she has real ability to comeback and repeat a good effort after winning first time out. She
proved she is some quality.@
Ortiz continued, AShe came out of the race in great form-bright eyed. She ate up her dinner last night and she jogged up
sound for us this morning. We're super happy with the winning
effort she put out there. Getting caught at the wire is just part ofhorse racing.@
Ortiz said Quietside will now target the Oct. 4 GI Darley
Alcibiades Stakes at Keeneland.
AWe think she'll like the two turns in the long term,@ Ortiz said.
Trainer Brad Cox confirmed Sunday that the Alcibiades is also
the likely next start for Godolphin homebred Immersive.
AShe looked good,@ Cox said. AWe expected her to run big andshe did. We always thought she showed the potential to stretch
out. She got the seven-eighths and she should handle two turns.
We will ship her back to Kentucky on Monday, and zero in on
the Alcibiades, and go from there.@
Immersive, who was a two-length winner going six furlongs in
her July 21 debut at Saratoga, broke from the rail while making
her second career start in the seven-furlong Spinaway.
AShe showed she has a tremendous amount of class toovercome the one hole,@ Cox said of the filly's effort Saturday.
AManny [Franco] did a good job of putting her in a good positionof tracking the frontrunners. Then she was able to show her
stamina and class late to get by a very good filly inside the final
sixteenth. She had a big gallop-out and I=m looking forward togetting her around two turns.@

GUN RUNNER COLT BULLARD SOUNDSBUGLE, EARNS 'TDN RISING STAR BADGE AT
DEL MAR

Bullard | Benoit

by J.N. Campbell
Some say the Boy Scout bugle merit badge is one of thetoughest to collect. In Thoroughbred racing it is winning a dirt
race from way off the pace.
In his Sunday debut at Del Mar, the 'TDN Insighted' Bullard(Gun Runner--Reve d'Amour, by Warrior's Reward) sounded his
bugle and charged home to graduate, which earned the2-year-old a 'TDN Rising Star' merit badge for his effort.
Trailing from the bell, the $675,000 Keeneland September
grad watched from the rear of the field as 60 cents on the dollar
favorite Kalea Bay (Authentic) carved out the fractions.
Unwilling to accept the order to retreat in a situation like thisone, the colt blew a ruffle and a flourish around the far turn andbegan to execute a mounted raid on the field. Picking offcompetitors the dark bay got clear to the outside at the top of
the lane and set his sights on the pacesetter. With a massive
kick, Bullard collared the fading leader in the final jumps andearned the equivalent of a Boy Scout bugler.
Acquired by Borges Torrealba for $310,000 at the 2013 FasigTipton Saratoga Select Yearling Sale, Reve d'Amour is
responsible for six foals, five to race and four winners. So far,her most accomplished offspring is SW Mundaye Call (Into
Mischief), who OXO Equine took home for $950,000 during the2018 Fasig-Tipton Yearling Sale. The winner is his dam's lastregistered foal of record, but he does have a 4-year-old halfbrother in Chad Brown's care named Cascais (Into Mischief).

Digging into this extended female family, Bullard's French
multiple groups stakes winning second dam is responsible for
MSW Martha's Moon (Malibu Moon) and GSW Can the Man(Into Mischief). While under his third dam we find MGISP Better
Than Honour (Deputy Minister), who produced champion
3-year-old filly Rags to Riches (A.P. Indy) and her older
half-brother GISW Jazil (Seeking the Gold).
Bullard represents the 15th 'TDN Rising Star' for theaccomplished Gun Runner.

IN SECOND START, DUBAWI'S OPULENTRESTRAINT COMES THROUGH

Opulent Restraint | Sarah Andrew

by Bill Finley
The word was out when the Chad Brown-trainee Opulent
Restraint (Dubawi {Ire}) made her first career start on July 28 at
Saratoga. She was sent off as the 7-10 favorite but couldn't
come through. She finished fourth, beaten 1 1/4 lengths.
On Sunday at Saratoga she made amends. Sent off this time at
3-2, she won a stretch battle with Good Long Cry (Long On
Value) to win the mile-and-a-sixteenth turf maiden by ahalf-length.
"She has shown ability from day one and Chad liked her a lot,"wining rider Irad Ortiz Jr. said. "First time out, she ran well, butjust got beat. We regrouped, turned the page and she ran today
the way we expected."
Opulent Restraint is owned by Stephanie Seymour Brant andwas bred in Ireland by her husband Peter Brant's White Birch
Farm. She is the first foal of Significant Form (Creative Cause), a
five-time stakes winner whose list of wins includes the GII
Ballston Spa S. and three Grade III stakes. She was also owned
by Seymour Brant and trained by Chad Brown.
The win Sunday wasn't exactly easy. A half-mile into the race,
Opulent Restraint was stalking the pace in fourth . She took thelead at the three-sixteenths pole, but Good Long Cry, who set
the pace, would not go away under Manny Franco. After aspirited stretch duel, Opulent Restraint prevailed.
"I was right behind Manny and was full of horse," Ortiz said. "Itipped her out and she responded well. She was still a little
green, a little inexperienced. I think she still has something in
the tank. We need to keep an eye on her. She can be a nicehorse."The GI Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf will likely be in
Brown's plans. He has won the race six times.

OPULENT RESTRAINT (IRE) (f, 2, Dubawi {Ire}--Significant Form{MGSW, $817,216}, by Creative Cause) was fourth as the 3-5

second choice to make good this time. Settled in a stalking
position early after sitting back a hair at the break, the Irish bred
was under a tight hold by Irad Ortiz Jr., who tucked her in along
the hedge rounding the first turn. Continuing to pull her rider
along as Good Long Cry (Long On Value) carved out a quarter in:23.91 and a :49.16 half, the grey eagerly advanced as a seam
opened up turning for home. Taking aim at the pacesetter down
the stretch, she collared her rival midstretch and inched clear
late to graduate by a half length. Good Long Cry was second
with Magenta (Into Mischief) rounding out the trifecta. FavoredLove Tempo (Ire) (Churchill {Ire}) rallied to be fourth. A halfsister to Grade III winner Hay Dakota (Haynesfield), Significant
Form was a $75,000 Fasig-Tipton Kentucky July yearling that was
secured for $575,000 by Peter Brant's White Birch Farm thefollowing year at the OBS Spring 2-year-old Sale. A multiple
graded stakes winner on the turf for Chad Brown, the grey mareproduced Sunday's winner on her first try and followed up
another filly by Dubawi (Isadora Duncan) in 2023 and a filly by
Kingsman earlier this season. She was bred back to Justify.

THANKS TO MORE AGGRESSIVE TACTICS,QUICKICK GETS JOB DONE IN SPA MAIDEN

Quickick | Sarah Andrew

by Bill Finley
In her debut, Quickick (McKinzie) ran well to be third but
couldn't overcome a slow beginning as she dropped 15 lengths
off the pace in the early going. So trainer Tom Amoss added
blinkers and jockey Dylan Davis made sure to stay close to theearly pace. That made all the difference as Quickick broke hermaiden in Sunday's seventh race at Saratoga, winning by 2 1/2
lengths.
Amoss also told Davis to try to get the filly to the outsidewhere she wouldn't be bothered by the kickback. She brokefrom post one.
"I told him if she's not taking that dirt in the face move herout," Amoss said. "Dylan did just that. When he did she kicked
home nicely."
Quickick was sent off as the 4-1 third-choice in the race as themoney kept rolling in on two first-time starters, favorite Scottish
Lassie (McKinzie) and second-choice Snowyte (Good Magic).
Both ran well as Snowyte set the pace and Scottish Lassie wasnever far back in third. By mid-stretch Snowyte had taken a
one-length lead and Scottish Lassie was right behind her. But themore experienced filly, Quickick, outran them all in the final
sixteenth to earn the win.
"Having a race under your belt, knowing what to tell the rider
and the rider having experience with the horse," Amoss said.

MONDAY • SEPTEMBER 2, 2024

"That's the advantage of having a race under your belt."
Owner Gregory Tramontin bought Quickick for $550,000 at the2023 Keeneland sale. Amoss had some inside knowledge on thedam, as he trained her. She made 17 starts and won five races,
including the GIII Winning Colors Stakes.
"Her mom, Graeme Six, was a little bitty girl," Amoss recalled.
"She came up to New York and placed in a Grade I stakes (the2007 Prioress) and that made her a momma. She's been a reallyprolific momma. Quickick is is a great example of the babies
she's had. Quickick is the polar opposite of her mom. She's talland lengthy."
Graeme Six (Graeme Hall) has had 11 foals and 10 of them arewinners. The list includes Cali Star (Street Cry {Ire}), the winnerof the 2015 GIII Rampart Stakes, and Delightful Joy (Tapit), thewinner of the GIII Monmouth Oaks, also in 2015.
Amoss is eager to test his filly against tougher competition.
"We talk about it all the time," he said. "I'll talk to the owner,
Greg Tramontin. I know he is excited about her too. We would
like to see how she competes with the other 2-year-old fillies in
the nation going a little further distance and going two turns."
Quickick covered the seven furlongs in 1:23.78 and paid
$10.40. She was also sold at the 2022 Keeneland November
sale, where she brought $275,000.

for third at odds of 4-1 in her debut over course and distanceAug. 11. Away at those same odds but racing with the additionof blinkers Sunday, the $550,000 Keeneland yearling got off to abetter start and found herself mid pack behind Snowyte (GoodMagic). Cont. p4

Chasing Liberty was a smart 1 1/4-length winner at 3-1 odds in
his 5 1/2-furlong Ellis Park debut July 28 but took considerably
less money in this step up in class, breaking as a 22-1 longshot.
With an extra furlong to work with over the undulating Kentucky
Downs course, Chasing Liberty was caught mid pack and dealt
with traffic trouble around the far turn as Under Who's Radarhandled fractions of :22.03 and :45.20. Swung out to the centerof the course at the top of the stretch, he was coming withplenty of run just as the pacesetter abruptly changed paths andwas forced to check to avoid a collision. While he wound up
three-quarters of a length behind Under Who's Radar on thewire, an objection and steward's inquiry into the events of thestretch reversed the order of finish and awarded Chasing Liberty
the victory.
AI thought we ran a winning race and the steward=s decision
was up to them,@ said winning trainer Rob Atras. AOur horse justshowed up today regardless of if we were first or second. He ran
an awesome race and Flo [jockey Florent Geroux] did a greatjob. He was still a little bit green, but he showed his ability. He
has a lot of talent. I knew it was going to be tough and it was a
big ask coming off a maiden win. I was worried it would be toosoon to ask for this, but, hey, he showed up.@
The 68th stakes winner for WinStar's Constitution, Chasing
Liberty is the first foal out of a stakes-placed dam. His yearling
full-sister sold for $160,000 at Fasig-Tipton July earlier thissummer while Peaceful foaled an Epicenter filly this year andwas bred back to both Oscar Performance and Up to the Markfor 2025. Click for the Equibase.com chart or VIDEO, sponsored

Earning a his most recent score via dead heat in the ninefurlong GIII Monmouth Stakes June 15, Running Bee earned thedistinction outright Sunday when taking the Bernard Baruch
Stakes at Saratoga.
Steady On (Pioneerof the Nile) moved fluidly to the front as
Taking Candy and a hedge-riding Running Bee pursue about alength behind rounding the first turn. With Steady On still
showing the way through a half in :49.27, favored Running Bee
continued to save ground along the inside as Taking Candy
started to turn the screws on the frontrunner rounding the far
turn. Needing to pick it up in early stretch as Taking Candy andSteady On exchanged blows through the lane. Running Bee was
ignited late and mowed down the top pair to gain a confident
victory over Taking Candy with a closing Fort Washington third.
AIt was a beautiful trip,@ said Irad Ortiz Jr. who was winning his
fifth race on the card. AWhat can I say? Everything went theright way, to be honest. He kicked. He was push-button today.
He was so relaxed out there. When I asked him, he was full of
horse to run.@

The win also marked Ortiz, Jr.=s 51st of the meet, adding to his
lead in the jockey standings that has clinched him the riding title
at the meet that closes Monday. Ortiz, Jr. notched his other winson the card with Montalcino [Race 1], Opulent Restraint [Race2], Critical Threat [Race 5] and Paros [Race 8].
In addition, Calumet Farm builds upon their weekend after
winning Saturday's GI Pacific Classic at Del Mar with Mixto in
addition to an impressive debut win by Correto at Kentucky
Downs Sunday.
Winning trainer Chad Brown added, AI'm very appreciative ofCalumet Farm---Mr. Brad Kelley and his team--for letting me run
here. He was also nominated for very lucrative race at Kentucky
Downs next week but it's only a mile and I just felt like this horsereally has a future. I didn't want to put him in an unknown
situation in a big, messy field even if it was for a lot of money. I
felt this horse could put it together today and really move
forward--polish this race off well was my hope and really move
forward. These English Channel horses certainly get better as
they get older, we've seen that over and over. I really have highhopes for this horse.@
Kicking off the season with a runner-up finish in the GIII Tampa
Bay Stakes in February, the 5-year-old won an 8 1/2-furlong

Early Kentucky Derby favorite Muth faced several twists andturns earlier in the 2024 season. Despite winning the GII San
Vincente Stakes in January and the GI Arkansas Derby in March,
Muth was precluded from running on the First Saturday in May
due to his trainer's forced exclusion from the Classic over the
past three seasons. Shipped to Pimlico two weeks later for the
GI Preakness, the colt spiked a temperature which forced him
out of the second jewel of the Triple Crown, shuttling him to thesidelines. Given plenty of time, he returned to the worktab June
10 and the $2-million OBS March topper began his steady
preparation for this first race in five months.
Breaking sharply from post 3, the 1-5 choice settled behind
Pony Express (Gun Runner), who carved out an opening quartermile in :22.57. Passing the half-mile pole, the chestnut inchedcloser as the pacesetter began his steady retreat and soon hit
the front. While stablemate Imagination challenged briefly to his
outside in the stretch, Muth proved too good, spurting away lateen route to a geared down two-length win over closer
Indispensable with Imagination third.
"I asked a lot of him today, but he responded really well,@ said
winning rider Juan Hernandez. AI think all the credit goes to Bob[Baffert] because they were putting a lot of work towards thishorse. In the race this horse showed up.@MONDAY • SEPTEMBER 2, 2024

Aboard all seven of Muth's lifetime starts, Hernandez
continued, AHe is a different horse [now] because when hestarted out he was very fast, but he didn't want to settle. The
last couple races he has relaxed really well, you know, he rodevery sharp today. He stayed behind the pace just like I asked ofhim. He is a very special horse."

Muth returns from a layoff to win at Del Mar Sunday | Benoit

Earning TDN Rising stardom following a scintillating debut at
Santa Anita last June, he had to settle for second behindstablemate Prince of Monaco in the GIII Best Pal Stakes a Del
Mar In August but rebounded to take the GI American Pharoah
Sakes back at The Great Race Place in October. Well supported
for his seasonal finale, he was second behind subsequentjuvenile champion Fierceness in the GI Breeders' Cup in
November.
Hoppa, who RNA'd for $1.9 million at the Fasig-Tipton
November Sale last season, is also responsible for a yearling filly
by Tacitus and a full-brother to Muth foaled earlier this year.

Attempting to win his fourth consecutive start of the season,
Dean Delivers once again lived up to his name by coming fromjust off the pace to win Sunday's Rumson Stakes at Monmouth.
The winner of last season's GIII Smile Sprint is now four-forfour since moving to the Ned Allard barn.
AHow good is he? I think his form speaks for itself right now,@
opined Allard. AI=m not sure what=s next. We=ve got visions ofgrandeur but I don=t know whether they=re realistic or not. We=ll
see.@
Breaking alertly, the heavy favorite battled exchanged blows
with Five Dreams, who cut out a quarter in :22.42, and Speaking(Mr Speaker), who followed with a :45.67 half. Still trying to getback to the front as Downtownchalybrown forged to the front
turning for home, Dean Delivers clawed his way back to thefront in deep stretch to gain a half-length victory.
AHe had to work for this one. He hasn=t run five furlongs for awhile, since he broke his maiden. But nothing seems to bother
him,@ said winning ridre Jaime Rodriguez. AOnce I got to thequarter pole I asked him and he went. When we broke I wasgoing to wait and see how things played out.
AHe broke sharply but he did not need to be on the lead. I justwanted to be within a half-length or next to the other speed
because I knew I had horse. I just had to wait for the moment.
Once I saw a horse coming outside coming out of the turn I said'okay, let=s go.' I maybe only hit him twice in the stretch. I was
pretty confident with him today.@AEvery time he runs now he gets better. I love the way he isrunning now. He can run anywhere. When he broke sharply I
didn=t want to take him back. I just wanted him to be free andcomfortable because I know how good he is right now.@
Runner up in the GIII Swale Stakes at three, the gelding hit theboard in six of eight starts last term, including a third behindultimate sprint champion Elite Power and Gunite in the GI Alfred
G. Vanderbilt at the Spa. This season, he finished off the board
in his first two starts in Florida before posting consecutive winsin Monmouth's Mr Prospector Stakes May 27, the July 8
Alapocas Run Stakes at Delaware and most recently in the FrankJ. DeFrancis Memorial Dash at Laurel July 28.

BRADSELL AND THE FIRST
TWO-DAY TATTERSALLSSOMERVILLE SALEFANTASTIC MOON WINS THE GROSSERPREIS VON BADEN by Tom Frary
Recording his first elite-level success since last year=s G1
Deutsches Derby, Liberty Racing=s Fantastic Moon (Ger) (SeaThe Moon {Ger}) proved too strong for Dubai Honour (Ire)(Pride Of Dubai {Aus}) in Sunday=s G1 Grosser Preis von Baden.
Anchored in rear early by Rene Piechulek, the Sarah
Steinberg-trained 2-1 second favourite surged to the front inside
the final two furlongs en route to a 1 1/4-length success fromthe William Haggas raider.
AI don=t really know what to say. We already had such greattimes with >Fanta=, I was so happy to see that Rene held him up
in last place and he was able to relax, that was so important fortoday and it worked out beautifully,@ trainer Sarah Steinberg
said. AHe is the best horse in Germany and we will go straight to
the Arc now where Rene will ride him. He needs good groundfor his best form.@ Cont., p5

IN TDN AMERICA TODAY
Bradsell | Megan Ridgwell

By Adam Houghton
Finally there's a feeling that Bradsell (GB) (Tasleet {GB}) is
starting to get the recognition he deserves following his
scintillating success in the G1 Nunthorpe Stakes at York's Ebor
Festival. Already a two-time winner at Royal Ascot before thatcareer high on the Knavesmire, he's quietly put together the sortof record which ought to earn him a queue of mares at his stable
door by the time his racing days are over.
And if for whatever reason it doesn't work out for Bradsell as astallion, then he'll surely always have a place at Tattersalls as theequine ambassador for the Somerville Yearling Sale, having beenbought at Park Paddocks for just 12,000gns in its very first year
in 2021. He's been the poster boy ever since.
"He's an absolutely outstanding advertisement for theSomerville Yearling Sale," Tattersalls marketing director Jimmy
George said of Archie Watson's sprinting star on the eve of thisyear's sale. "He was immense in the Nunthorpe and he looks as
if he's got all of the credentials to go on to more Group 1 glory.
For a sale of this nature, it's fantastic to have flagbearers of thisquality."Cont., p3

Somerville Preview, cont. from p1
Bradsell certainly isn't the only one. This year alone thejuveniles Arabian Dusk (GB) (Havana Grey {GB}), Enchanting
Empress (GB) (Sergei Prokofiev) and Tropical Storm (GB)(Eqtidaar {Ire}) have all won Pattern contests after changing
hands at this sale 12 months ago. Listed scorers Enchanting
Empress and Tropical Storm sold for 62,000gns and 50,000gns,
respectively, while Arabian Dusk, the winner of the G2 Duchess
Of Cambridge Stakes, proved a successful pinhook after being
picked up for 80,000gns.
"She emphasises two aspects to the sale, I think," George saidof Arabian Dusk. "It shows the quality of the horses to be foundin the Somerville Yearling Sale, but it's also been a very happy
hunting ground for the breeze-up consignors. She was boughtfor 80,000gns last year and sold for 525,000gns at the Craven
Breeze-up Sale--it was fantastic business for all concerned."
He added, "The consistent number of Group and Listed
winners coming from the sale tell their own story. Don't forget
Anisette, who is arguably the best turf filly in California at the
moment. There are only three Grade I races for fillies in
California these days and she's won every single one of them.
She was purchased for 26,000gns [in 2021] and I think itemphasises the diversity and the depth of the quality available.
It's not just a one-dimensional sale."

MONDAY • 2 SEPTEMBER 2024

Anisette | Benoit

As well as being far from one-dimensional, the SomervilleYearling Sale is also no longer a one-day fixture. For the firsttime this year it will be held over two days, with over 430 lots-up from 305 offered in 2023--scheduled to go under thehammer. Selling begins at 10am on Tuesday.
Explaining the decision to move to two days, George said, "Thissale has well and truly established itself as an important fixture
in the European yearling sales calendar." Cont.

TDN EUROPE • PAGE 4 OF 19 • THETDN.COM"Demand for places in its short history has always been
considerable and it was felt that this year it made eminent sense
to expand the fixture to two days, in response to that demand.
"It's a strong catalogue, obviously significantly larger than
we've had before, and it's full of the sort of yearlings that buyers
have come to expect from the sale. There are certain areas ofthe market which are stronger than others, but quality yearlings
have always found buyers in abundance and I think we'll seethat in the next couple of days."
Only time will tell whether there's another Bradsell to befound, but buyers will have the opportunity to get their hands
on a half-brother to the filly who chased him home in the
Nunthorpe, Believing (Ire) (Mehmas {Ire}). Lot 279, consigned by
Kildallan Farm, is an Inns Of Court (Ire) colt out of the unraced
Kodiac (GB) mare Misfortunate (Ire) whose four-year-old
daughter also won the G2 Sapphire Stakes at the Curragh in July.
Other potential highlights include lot 235, Hazelwood
Bloodstock's half-sister to the GI Natalma Stakes heroine La
Pelosa (Ire) (Dandy Man {Ire}) by Earthlight (Ire), while thepedigree of lot 204 received a significant update on Sunday
when his half-brother, Aesterius (Ire) (Mehmas {Ire}), ran awaywith the G3 Prix d'Arenberg at Longchamp. This colt from theBallinafad Stud draft is by Tally-Ho Stud resident Cotai Glory(GB).
Last year's Deutsches Derby winner Fantastic Moon (Ger) (SeaThe Moon {Ger}) was also in the news on Sunday when hedoubled his Group 1 tally in the Grosser Preis von Baden. His
breeder, Philipp Stauffenberg, is consigning for the first time at
the Somerville Yearling Sale this year, with a pair of fillies set to
be offered under the name of his Stauffenberg Bloodstock.
The Hello Youmzain (Fr) filly set to go through the ring as lot
223 is out of the German Group 3 runner-up La Merced (Ger)(Tiger Hill {Ire}), while the second dam, La Pilaya (Ger) (Pivotal{GB}), is a half-sister to five black-type performers.
The other Stauffenberg offering, lot 185, is from the first cropof A'Ali (Ire), who had eight yearlings sell at the Doncaster
Premier Yearling Sale at an average of ,57,125 and for an
aggregate sum of ,457,000.
Speaking of last week, it seems right to include a few lines
from the leading buyer at Doncaster ahead of a sale where theclientele promises to include many of the same faces.
Anthony Bromley, acting on behalf of Classic-winning ownerPhil Cunningham, signed for 10 yearlings for a total of,1,010,000 at the Premier Yearling Sale, but overall trade wasdown on the previous year--the average and median both
dropped by 14%--and Bromley expects more of the same as wehead into the autumn.
"As I thought the top quartile is very strong, but then there's
chances," Bromley said of the market last week.

"The lower end is a little bit sticky and there are moments tofind value. I know the parameters are going to be a bit down,
but it's not going to be any different anywhere else this autumn.
All of the averages and medians are going to be down this year.
"We've got 450 fast yearlings this week [in Doncaster] and in a
weeks' time we've got another 450 at the Somerville YearlingSale, so it will be interesting to see whether it'll hold up throughthe whole thing."

Fantastic Moon, cont. from p1
Taken down the Arc route in 2023 following his success in the
Hamburg Classic, Fantastic Moon captured the G2 Prix Niel but
came up short in the main event before making a stuttering start
to his current campaign. Regaining the thread when taking the
11-furlong G2 Grosser Preis der Badischen Wirtschaft
rescheduled at Cologne in June, he was second to Calif (Ger)(Areion {Ger}) on unsuitably soft ground in Munich=s G1 Grosser
Dallmayr-Preis in July but had everything in place for his big
moment here.
Ridden with utmost confidence, he went around the home
turn as if he was on rails while Dubai Honour floundered for a
few strides in the centre of the track and that natural agility
made all the difference as they sprinted to the line.

Fantastic Moon | Marc Ruehl

AHe has such an amazing turn of foot and he was so relaxed-he is really a great horse, awesome,@ Piechulek said.

WITHOUT WORDS SPRINGS A SURPRISE IN
THE FAIRY BRIDGE by Tom Frary
Making significant strides with a perfect pace scenario in
Sunday=s G3 Coolmore Stud No Nay Never Fairy Bridge Stakes at
Tipperary, John Oxley=s Without Words (Mendelssohn) sprang a40-1 upset to gain a vital pattern-race success. Only fifth in
Leopardstown=s G3 Meld Stakes in July and Killarney=s ListedVincent O=Brien Ruby Stakes last month, the i450,000 Arqana
December purchase was anchored in last early by Mikey Sheehy
as Matilda Picotte (Ire) (Sioux Nation) went into an isolated
lead. Swallowing up the deficit in the straight, she overhauledthat game rival in the last 50 yards to score by a length.
Joseph O=Brien=s representative Sean Corby said, AShe ran well
the other day and Dylan [Browne McMonagle] felt she needs agood gallop to aim at and she got it there. She can be a little bit
keen, but settled lovely today with the pace that was on. She is atalented filly when things fall right for her. That=s a career-best
today and she=s going the right way.@

Pedigree Notes
Without Words is kin to the GI Santa Anita Handicap hero
Combatant by Mendelssohn=s sire Scat Daddy, the G3 Sweet
Solera Stakes winner Long Lashes (Rock Hard Ten) and two otherstakes performers including the G2 Flying Childers Stakes
runner-up Mythical Border (Johannesburg). Their unraced dam
Border Dispute (Boundary) is a half to Forestry=s GI Wood
Memorial-placed sire Just A Coincidence and a full-sister to thegraded-stakes-placed stakes producer Plenty.

ASIAN RACING CONFERENCE: REFLECTIONS
by Emma BerrySAPPORO, Japan -- "It's been a hard day's night," sang Masayuki
Goto, vice-chairman of the Asian Racing Federation (ARF), as hetook to the stage for his keynote speech during the closing
exchanges of the 40th Asian Racing Conference (ARC). And it isplain that Goto, the former president and CEO of the Japan
Racing Association (JRA), and his fellow ARF committee
members are looking forward to the day when theircounterparts around the world are singing along in perfectharmony, perhaps to the tune of Here Comes The Sun.
Those bred for stamina, who sat through all nine sessions
across the three days, will hopefully have found plenty on whichto cogitate on the flight home from Sapporo, whether betting or
breeding, fan engagement or finance is at the top of your wish

list for racing.
The overriding theme was of the need for unity - both globallyand locally. That is of course easier to achieve in countries such
as Japan and Hong Kong, where the financial health of racing
through strong tote monopolies enables areas in need of
improvement to be addressed more readily.
Stakeholders within their fellow major racing nations ofAustralia and Britain are often at loggerheads internally over arange of issues. To a degree, Britain is seen as the fading
aristocrat of world racing: sure, it has the heritage, the history
and the titles, but the castle roof is leaking and there aren't
enough buckets to go round.
It is not entirely fair to continue to portray British racing in thismanner. At the top end at least, the combined efforts to push
the available prize-money upwards through Premier Racing, theexpansions of its marquee days in the World Pool, and roll out of
a valuable maiden programme backed by some of the biggest
breeders in the business, along with Tattersalls and the British
EBF, it increasingly holds its own against its nearest neighboursof Ireland and France. In some instances, it outstrips them.
Is it too easy to make Britain the whipping boy? Maybe. But it
doesn't help itself either, and an exodus of top executives overthe coming months will naturally lead to some instability in thehandover periods.
That was a side issue this week, as Britain, Ireland, France andGermany are not of course ARF members despite being strongly
represented in Japan. "It's really a global racing conference,"
said Ascot's Nick Smith as he joined a lengthy debate on all
matters betting, and he has a point. BHA chair Joe Saumarez
Smith, HRI chief executive Suzanne Eade, Henri Pouret and Elie
Hannau of France Galop, and Deutscher Galopp manager Daniel
Kruger were all in Sapporo to forge important alliances with
their neighbours in the Asia and the Middle East. Cont.

for those horses retiring from racing.
There was barely a presentation during the week that did not
make reference to this subject. It was interesting to note thatthe Hong Kong Jockey Club ensures that each new owner setsaside an 'equine pension fund', which is a mandatory sum of
HK$100,000 (approximately i11,500) in order to finance thetransition of horses in their retirement from racing to a newrole.

Pattern vs Prize-Money

ARF vice-chairman Masayuki Goto | Asian Racing Federation

Saudi Takes up the Baton
At the closing ceremony, just before The Beatles tribute band
The Parrots bounced on stage and were commanded to play atleast four encores, Prince Bandar bin Khalid Al Faisal, chairmanof the Jockey Club of Saudi Arabia (JCSA), was handed ARF
banner by chairman Winfried Engelbrecht-Bresges in
anticipation of the next ARC. That is to be held in two years'
time in Riyadh.
It may be one of the newest ARF members but Saudi has
certainly made its presence felt in the Thoroughbred business inrecent times, with the introduction of the world's richest race,
the Saudi Cup, in 2020 and a doubling of the number of races
staged in the country in the intervening years. Winners from
America, Britain, Japan and Saudi itself have given the Saudi Cup
a truly international feel and Group 1 status. With the country's
racing programme expanding in leaps and bounds, and millions
being spent on recruiting runners to fill those races, all eyes will
be on how the Saudi racing scene continues to develop. It was
encouraging to see representatives from the JCSA at the IFAR
conference on Tuesday for every racing jurisdiction, especially
one with growing might, must make proper aftercare provisions

It shouldn't really be a case of either/or but that was thesuggestion made by Widden Stud's Antony Thompson, who, as aguest on an international breeding panel, gave a positive
overview of the robustness of the Australian racing industry,reminding those listening that the country hosts a
million-dollar-plus race every week on average.
"Nick Smith said yesterday that the Pattern is cornerstone of
the British racing system. We'd say prize-money is thecornerstone of the Australian racing system," he explained.
The combining of those two objectives would be the ideal
situation and, clearly, many involved in the Australian industry
consider the returns on offer in Britain to be derisory. But it isconcerning that the Australian Pattern Committee has not held ameeting for some years - a situation that Arrowfield's John
Messara is at the forefront of trying to resolve in order to keep
Australia's group races under regular review.
Britain does not act unilaterally when it comes to its Patternraces and liaises closely with its European neighbours inestablishing a progression of races both through the distances
and throughout the season. And with that in mind, it is worth
heeding the words of Shadai Farm's owner Teruya Yoshida in aninterview in TDN last year.
"We are looking for good horses from anywhere in the worldand buying the good-quality mares from Europe is very
important," he said. "European classification of the racing is very
correct. If we buy Group 2 or Group 3 mares in Europe, that istheir true level." Cont.

Graphic showing the cycle of a racehorse=s career at Sapporo
racecourse | Emma Berry"In some other countries, we can't believe in it, but if we buy
them in Europe we know that they are good-class horses."

Rise of the Sons
Prior to the international breeding panel came one focusedsolely on the Japanese industry and featuring Tetsuya andShunsuke Yoshida along with Hirokazu Okada, the sonsrespectively of Teruya and Katsumi Yoshida of Shadai andNorthern Farms, and Shigeyuki Okada of Big Red Farm. The
succession plan appears strong in Japanese breeding.
Of the 7,796 foals born in Japan in 2023, 98% of those were on
farms in the Iburi and Hidaka regions of Hokkaido, not far from
where the conference was taking place. A good percentage of
those are the offspring of mares recruited internationally,
primarily but not only by the Yoshida family, with Japanese
breeders often putting a premium on racecourse form.
The most recent luminary of that breeding programme was
the horse deemed to be the world's best racehorse of 2023,
Equinox (Jpn), whose rapturous finale in the Japan Cup in turnlifted that race to be rated best in the world last year.

MONDAY • 2 SEPTEMBER 2024

It was a twin triumph for Japan as the JRA commenced
celebrations of its 70th anniversary.
Asked to explain the extraordinary rise in success of Japanesehorses on the world stage, Shunsuke Yoshida, vice-president ofNorthern Farm, replied simply, "I think we paid attention."
Having learned from the established top nations in thebusiness in Europe, the Americas and Australasia, Japan in now
teaching all of them a lesson. The cycle of life for a racehorse,from conception through rearing, breaking, training, racing andretirement, is properly funded at every step of the way and,crucially, is well explained to the racing public, including on
posters around racecourses.
Whatever one's specific interest in racing, it never hurts to behelped to join up the dots and understand just what it takes to
get that gleaming Thoroughbred to its peak condition on racedays. In turn, those fans betting through the JRA facilities at the
racecourses, are doing their bit in putting money back into
breeding and prize-money. What goes around comes around.
Okada, president of Big Red Farm, which has been in operation
since 1982 and stands Benbatl (GB) and Gold Ship (Jpn) among
other stallions, explained, "Up until 2010 the yearling sales
turnover and production was declining but it has improved sincethen. Horseracing anime [a mobile game-turned-popular TV
series] has really expanded the knowledge of the sport. Youngbusiness people are becoming owners. Star jockeys like Yutaka
Take led the second Japanese racing boom and with Japanesehorses becoming very successful overseas, these owners
recognise that racing is popular internationally."
Enhancing fan engagement and recruiting more young fans tothe sport was another theme that loomed large in the various
presentations throughout the week in Sapporo. Even this55-year-old big kid could not resist the lure of the plushie stall in
the Turfy Shop at Sapporo racecourse on Saturday. A fluffy
replica of Nassau Stakes heroine Deirdre (Jpn) is on the way
home to Newmarket.

COOLMORE AUSTRALIA ANNOUNCEWOOTTON BASSETT'S FEE AT A$192,500
Hirokazu Okada of Big Red Farm | Asian Racing Federation

Effective Communication
One of the most engaging speeches of the week came from
Vicky Leonard, owner of the marketing agency Kick Collective
and the Australasian daily publication The Thoroughbred Report,
which, in the interests of transparency, is a sister publication of
TDN.
Plenty at the conference took notice of Leonard's compellingtalk which impressed upon the delegates the need to have therelevant facts to hand to help combat the sport's detractors. She
has been practising what she preaches with the launch in 2022of the website and campaign Kick Up For Racing, which is afact-based resource to correct falsehoods so easily spread about
racing on social media and beyond.
"If an industry isn't talking it is assumed it has something tohide," she said, divulging that the most read article on thewebsite is What happens to the slow horses?
Again, this links back to an obvious public concern with regard
to the second part of a racehorse's life. The growing drive tohave visible and proactive aftercare programmes around theworld of racing is clearly necessary for what Engelbrecht-Bresges
referred to in his opening speech as "social acceptability".

By No Means LeastY
Lastly, all of those who attended the 40th ARC are in the debt
of the unfaltering courtesy and helpfulness of those many
people from the JRA and ARF charged with making sure theWootton Bassett (GB) will command a fee of A$192,500 in
2024 when he covers his fourth book of mares at Coolmore's
Jerry Plains operation in New South Wales, Australia, it wasannounced on Sunday.
The son of Iffraaj (GB) is on the brink of having his first
Southern Hemisphere-bred runners hit the track. He is alreadywell-established as one of the leading stallions in Europe as thesire of nine individual Group 1 winners, including the European
champion three-year-old colt Almanzor (Fr) and last year's G1
Champion Stakes hero King Of Steel.
From his initial Southern Hemisphere crop, Wootton Bassett
served an impressive array of mares, including the nine-timeGroup 1 winner Avantage (Aus) (Fastnet Rock {Aus}). The
resulting filly from this mating commanded A$2.1 million at thisyear's Magic Millions Gold Coast Yearling Sale.
"Wootton Bassett continues to go from strength to strength,"
said Coolmore Australia's Tom Moore. "He produced two Group
1-winning two-year-old colts last year and through Henri
Matisse, Ides Of March and others, he's well on track to emulatethat incredible feat in consecutive years.
"From his current two- and three-year-old crops he's alreadyyielded 14 stakes winners, a number which is sure to grow."
Moore added, "Given the quality of mares he's been
patronised by in his initial seasons in Australia and the way they
were received at the sales this year, we think he represents agreat opportunity for Australasian breeders with quality mares
this season, particularly those elite mares looking for an
outcross option."
