BEHOLD! CHAMP'S 'RISING
STAR' DAUGHTER TAMARAROLLS IN DMR DEBUTANTEIN START NUMBER TWO, QUALITY ROAD'SINTEGRATION UPSETS VIRGINIA DERBY
by Alan Carasso
The least experienced of the nine 3-year-olds signed on for
Saturday's GIII New Kent County Virginia Derby, with only amaiden victory--albeit a smashing one--to his success, West
Point Thoroughbreds and Woodford Racing's Integration (c, 3,
Quality Road--Harmonize, by Scat Daddy) grabbed heavily
favored Program Trading (GB) (Lope de Vega {Ire}) with lessthan a furlong to go and came away to an impressive victory in
new course-record time.
Well-backed at 67-10 despite his overall lack of seasoning, the$700,000 Fasig-Tipton Saratoga purchase took up a position in
the latter third of the field behind a decent early pace and wasquietly ridden through the middle stages of the nine-furlong
affair by Kendrick Carmouche. Cont. p6

AUGUSTE RODIN GAME IN THE IRISH CHAMPION

Tamara | Benoit photoby Alan Carasso
Some eleven years after her multiple champion dam Beholder(Henny Hughes) was just nosed out of a victory, 'TDN RisingStar' Tamara (Bolt d'Oro) did her momma proud with athoroughly dominating performance in the GI FanDuel Racing
Del Mar Debutante on closing weekend at the seaside oval.
It was an effort that even exceeded the already lofty
expectations of her Hall of Fame connections.
"She's been doing things in her training that 2-year-olds aren't
supposed to do,@ said her jockey Mile Smith. AShe's reallyspecial. She's like her mother. You don't see that usually. Those
great mares they normally don't have great foals. But this one
might be. I just held on today. I didn't want to fall off. She wasdoing it all herself. What can I say. She's very special."
Added trainer Richard Mandella: AI expected her to run good
but that was a little beyond. Watching it, he [Smith] had somuch horse he didn't want to restrict her. He just had her dowhat she wanted to do. She's very quick, so I thought he would
put her right there [lay second and up close] and we both
agreed to that, just see what everybody else does."Cont. p3

Auguste Rodin (Ire) (Deep Impact {Jpn}) rebounded in style totake the G1 Royal Bahrain Irish Champion S. at Leopardstown on
Saturday, the first day of the Irish Champions Festival. Tom Frary

Named in honor of the late B. Wayne Hughes's daughter,
Tamara was the 31-10 second choice when debuting against theonce-raced and well-regarded Hope Road (Quality Road-Marley's Freedom) Aug. 19, but overcame a stumbling start tograduate by a professional 2 1/4 lengths. The Debutante was thenext logical spot, but only three weeks away, meaning there
could be no hiccups if she was going to make the race. Tamara
was back on the worktab Aug. 30, going three-eighths of a milein a smart :36 2/5 (2/6) and she blew out three furlongs in:34 4/5 (1/18) Sept. 4, four ticks faster than stablemate andfellow 'Rising Star' Boltage (Bolt d'Oro), who goes in Sunday's
GIII Del Mar Juvenile Turf.
The 13-10 favorite was bumped soundly to her outside by
143-1 Motet (Mo Town), but immediately recovered from thatto sit just off the early pace set by Cal-bred Pushiness(Kantharos). Knowing precisely what he had underneath him,
Smith allowed Tamara to stride into the lead fully three furlongs
from home, and the race was over from there for all intents andpurposes. Well clear entering the stretch, Tamara lengthened
her stride beautifully while scarcely asked for an effort andglided under the wire a comprehensive winner. Laurent(Practical Joke) stayed on into second ahead of Gate to Paradise(Arrogate) in third, neither in the same league as Tamara.

Pedigree Notes:

BenoitTamara is the fourth foal out of Beholder and she is the yearyounger half-sister to Teena Ella (War Front), who won the
GIII Senorita S. in May. Beholder's yearling colt by Curlin topped
last month's Fasig-Tipton Saratoga sale when selling for $4
million to Amr Zedan.
Tamara's deeper female family needs little introduction.

SUNDAY • SEPTEMBER 10, 2023

Beholder, a $180,000 purchase by Spendthrift at Keeneland
September in 2011, was bred by Clarkland Farm, who purchased
dam Leslie's Lady for $100,000 in foal to Orientate at the 2006
Keeneland November Sale. Just over a year later, Into Mischief
made that decision look good when taking out the GI CashCall
Futurity for Hughes and Richard Mandella. Into Mischief has
since gone on to become one of the most successful sires in theworld, with 134 black-type winners to date.
By the time Leslie's Lady's Scat Daddy colt sold to Coolmore fora sales-topping price of $3 million at Keeneland September in
2016, Beholder had won 10 Grade Is and three Eclipse Awards
before adding to both totals when going out a winner in amemorable renewal of the GI Breeders' Cup Distaff.
Mendelssohn became a Breeders' Cup champion in his own rightin the 2018 GI Juvenile Turf--at Del Mar--and is also off to apromising start at stud. Leslie's Lady is also the dam of
Clarkland's 'TDN Rising Star' Marr Time (Not This Time).
Barren to Gun Runner for 2023, Beholder was bred back to
Spendthrift's Jackie's Warrior this year.

CELEBRATING 10 YEARS IN U.S., DON
ALBERTO SENDS STAR-STUDDED LINEUP TO
KEENELAND by Katie Petrunyak

Click here for our visit with Unique Bella's Into Mischief colt
and the rest of Don Alberto's Book 1 lineup | Sara Gordon

It's a summer of firsts for Don Alberto.
In June, the international operation owned by Liliana Solari
and her son Carlos Heller celebrated the first Grade I winner in
the United States bred by their American base when Arcangelo(Arrogate) scored in a historic edition of the GI Belmont S. Now,
they are preparing to send 50 homebreds to the Keeneland
September Sale. The contingent is led by an Into Mischief coltout of champion racemare Unique Bella (Tapit) who will be thefirst of their prized mare's progeny to sell at auction.
Ten years ago, Don Alberto expanded from its successful
breeding and racing base in Chile when they purchased theformer Vinery Farm in Kentucky and then went on a shopping
spree at the fall breeding stock sales, grossing $10.64 million inpurchases at the Keeneland November Sale alone. Since then,the operation has emerged in the headlines from a different
perspective as a commercial breeder. Recent highlights include
their sale of the highest-priced yearling sold in North America in
2021--a $2.6 million Into Mischief colt out of GI Test S. winner
Paola Queen (Flatter).
Next week at Keeneland, the farm will offer nine yearlings inBook 1. With six fillies and three colts in the lineup, eachmember of the assembly hails from a dam that claimed
blacktype on the racetrack and four are out of Grade I winners.
AI would say this is as strong as we've ever been coming into
Keeneland Book 1,@ said Reed Ringler, the COO of Don Alberto's
U.S. operation. AJust an incredible depth, great sire power andout of fantastic mares that we've been procuring for the last ten
years here in Kentucky.@

Selling with Taylor Made Sales, Unique Bella's colt may sharethe same flashy coloring as his dam, but the eye-catching grayseems to have inherited the physical of his sire.
AI think this horse is more like Into Mischief,@ Ringler
explained. AHe's got some stretch to him and he is mediumsized, a very well-balanced colt. He has a big walk on him. He's a
May foal, so there is a lot of room for growth. We're very
excited about him and we have high hopes for this horse on the
big night.@
Unique Bella was the first horse to claim a Grade I on
American soil for Don Alberto's racing stable back in 2017. She
would go on to earn Eclipse honors for top female sprinter thatyear and was then named champion older dirt female thefollowing season.
The mare's first two foals were retained by the farm. Her 3year-old unraced daughter Una Bella d'Oro (Medaglia d'Oro) is
now carrying her first foal by Mandaloun and her 2-year-old colt
Ultra Power (Curlin) is in training with Bob Baffert. The juvenile
ran sixth at Del Mar on debut on Aug. 25, but Ringler said thecolt is expected to thrive later this season going two turns.
Ringler also noted that their team believes they have found
the right match for Unique Bella in Into Mischief, explaining thatthe mare's foal of this year by the Spendthrift supersire is just as
impressive as her older brother. Cont. p9

Don Alberto cont.
AUnique Bella is a big, strong mare and I think what we foundwith Into Mischief is that we really hit the bull's-eye as we werelooking for that racey athlete,@ he said.
Ringler added that because the operation now has a colt and afilly from their star mare, they believed this was the right time tooffer one of her progeny to the market. Selling as Hip 382, theyearling will be one of the final hips to go through the ring
during the second session of Book 1.

Earlier in the second day of the sale, another high-profile Don
Alberto mare will be represented by her first foal to go to
auction. Salty (Quality Road), who claimed the GI La Troienne S.
in 2018, was purchased by Don Alberto later that year for $3
million. Her first foal Safiri, an unraced filly by Tapit, wasretained by Don Alberto and bred to Mandaloun this year.
Salty's second daughter by Tapit will sell as Hip 301 with

Rubilinda (Frankel).

Sara Gordon

With a majority of fillies coming out of this year's crop of
yearlings, Ringler said the decision regarding which youngsters
would go to auction was not an easy one.
AThis year is exceptionally hard with the fillies coming out ofthese pedigrees,@ he admitted. ACarlos [Heller Solari] and I just
had a meeting about how hard this game is and it gets harder
the bigger the decisions get. We are commercial and we dobring most of our horses to market, but when we identify horsesthat are maybe undervalued, we're going to keep them and racethem. We're strong judges, but Carlos knows it's a business. We
were filly heavy this crop and we thought it was the right thing
to bring them to market to let other people see what we'rebuilding at Don Alberto.@
Don Alberto's Book 1 group is rounded out by two additional
colts. Hip 220, a Candy Ride (Arg) colt consigned with Denali
Stud, is the first foal out of Grade III victress Magic Star (Scat
Daddy). Hip 377 by Curlin is a son of Grade III winner Touching
Beauty (Tapit) and will sell with Hill 'n' Dale at Xalapa. Cont. p11

Don Alberto cont.
Don Alberto will be represented well on past Book 1, but thebreeding operation has proven that they can produce a top-level
horse in the later books.
Dual Grade I winner Arcangelo (Arrogate) slipped through theSeptember Sale in 2021 when he sold for just $35,000 to Jon
Ebbert in Book 3. His dam Modeling (Tapit), who hails frominfluential Broodmare of the Year Better Than Honour, was a$2.85 million purchase for Don Alberto in 2014, but Arcangelo's
immaturity and smaller stature as a May foal kept him off mostlists.
AThe great thing about Keeneland is that there is value
everywhere,@ Ringler explained. AYou never know where you'regoing to find an Arcangelo and that's why you come here to
shop. The dam of Arcangelo was one of our foundation mares so
to get our first Classic winner with a horse that is this special for
his connections, it's just been a wonderful year.@
While health issues have prevented Modeling from producing
another foal since Arcangelo, Don Alberto does have his halfsister Madison Square (Medaglia d'Oro) in their broodmare
band.
With just over 100 mares on their farm in Lexington, the Don
Alberto product may continue to evolve, but their philosophy
stays the same.

SUNDAY • SEPTEMBER 10, 2023

AWhen Ms. Liliana and Carlos came here, their passion for
racing and pedigrees was already globally known,@ said Ringler.
AThey came here with a plan. We've adapted a bit to Americancommercial appeal and I think we're seeing that on the
racetrack now. Carlos has big goals. He wants to win the
Kentucky Derby. He wants to compete in all the big Classics. But
I think more importantly, we want to further the breed, be agood steward of the industry and continue to develop
relationships.@
AMs. Liliana lights up around all of her horses,@ he continued.
AYou can see her love and passion for all of her horses and it
really flows through to our entire staff. You can see the love
they give to every horse and I hope that when the world sees
our horses at Keeneland, they see that love and that carecoming through with all of our yearlings.@

At last month's CHRB meeting, TSG representatives had
floated the idea of keeping the facility open until mid-2024 oncondition that the current system of divvying up thesimulcasting proceeds is revised to benefit the tracks inSouthern California, where TSG is consolidating its operations.
Until now, various stakeholders in Northern California-including representatives of CARF--had voiced reservations
about altering the system by which simulcast wagering proceeds
are allocated.
For the purposes of simulcasting proceeds, the state is broken
into three main geographical zones--the "Southern," "Central"and "Northern" zones.
Largely speaking, the south and central zones are rolled into
one big "southern zone," roughly spanning the northern tip of
San Luis Obispo County down to the Mexico border. The"northern zone" consists of the remaining counties in the state.
The monies generated from simulcasting wagering are used
for a variety of operational expenses besides purses, including
payments to the California Horse Racing Board (CHRB) and theHorseracing Integrity and Safety Authority (HISA), thebackstretch retirement fund and workers' compensation.

Cont. p14

Golden Gate cont.
Next year's racing calendar in Northern California is, of course,
still to be decided. Swartzlander floated a plan that if Golden
Gate Fields remains open until mid-2024, Santa Rosa would
stage a Thoroughbred meet from mid-October--when the
Fresno fair meet ends--until the end of the year.
The 2025 Northern California Thoroughbred racing calendar,
Swartzlander added, could still hinge around a permanent baseat Cal Expo. Such a plan would apparently require reaching anagreement with California's harness racing industry, which only
last year extended its lease of operations of the Cal Expo
Harness racetrack until May 2030.
Swartzlander also suggested the permanent bases of any

GET SMOKIN GETS THE TRIP--AND THE 'W'-IN KENTUCKY TURF CUP by Alan Carasso

Get Smokin | Coady

When they throw $1.7 million at a race that entitles thewinner to a guaranteed, fees-paid berth in the field for the
GI Breeders' Cup Turf, sometimes you cast all logic aside and rollthe dice against all odds. Cont. p15

Kentucky Turf Cup cont.
As the saying goes, 'you miss 100% of the shots you don't
take,' and it was with that mindset that Get Smokin (Get
Stormy)--a Grade II and Grade III winner, but unproven over the
12-furlong trip of the GII FanDuel Kentucky Cup Turf--was evenentered in the first place. But given a perfect ride from the front
by Fernando de la Cruz on a day the rail was where you wanted
to be at Kentucky Downs, the chestnut, off at 19-1, forgot tostop and proved 1 3/4 lengths superior over Spooky Channel(English Channel) when all was said and done. Santin (Medaglia
d'Oro) raced prominently throughout and settled for third.
AI have often told [Ironhorse Racing Managing Partner] Harlan[Malter] that he is the craziest owner I train for. But this was nota crazy idea,@ winning trainer Mark Casse said in the immediate
aftermath of the upset.
The hard-fought winner of a Gulfstream allowance first off a
September layoff back in April, Get Smokin was sixth in a
graded-stakes quality renewal of the Opening Verse S. at
Churchill May 4, then was run down late and finished runner-up
in the GIII Arlington S. June 3 and in the July 1 Wise Dan S. at
Ellis. Tried over 10 furlongs for the first time in the Kentucky
Downs Preview Turf Cup Aug. 6, Get Smokin made the running,
but was reeled in late and settled for fourth.

Coady

Though he had a bit of early company in the form of Santin in
the final event of Saturday's stakes-laden program, Get Smokin
took the field into the first turn and opened up four or fivelengths on his rivals as they hit the backstretch. Despite theloose lead, Get Smokin switched off beautifully on the engine,
getting the half in :49.61 and the opening six panels in a
comfortable 1:14.18. Cont. p16

Even though the next couple of furlongs were covered in a
testing :23.81, Get Smokin was still full of run down the side of
the track, daring some proven stayers to come and get him. But
catch him they could not, as he switched his leads at the quarter
pole, flopped back and forth in the final furlong, but remained
clear to the wire.
Malter was full of praise for de la Cruz, who won back-to-backrunnings of the GII Woodford S. aboard Ironhorse's Bucchero(Kantharos) before also partnering with the horse in consecutive
renewals of the GI Breeders' Cup Turf Sprint.
AWe looked at this race,@ Malter said. AWe wanted to test out
at Ellis [in the 1 1/4-mile prep]. Even though we ran fourth, wewere happy. He ran a similar figure to what he was running at amile and a sixteenth. We were all systems go. We kind of cameup with the idea to have Fernando. We made a very specificplan, and it=s amazing how well Fernando executed it.@GET SMOKINWIN AND YOU’RE IN ™

Pedigree Notes:
By Get Stormy, winner of the GI Woodford Reserve Turf Classic
at nine furlongs on the turf, Get Smokin is out of a mare bynoted sprint sire Smoke Glacken. There is a bit of stamina as you
go down the page, as second dam Doc's Leading Lady--the damof MSW Spanish Pipedream (Scat Daddy)--was a full-sister to Phi
Beta Doc, who set a Saratoga course record when winning the1999 GIII Saranac S. over a mile and three-sixteenths before
annexing that year's 10-furlong Virginia Derby, also in courserecord time. Third dam Smart Queen was a half-sister to 1977
GII Arkansas Derby hero Clev Er Tell (Tell).
Hookah Lady is the dam of a 2-year-old colt by Vino Rosso who
was a $32,000 RNA as a KEENOV weanling, then sold for$35,000 at KEESEP last fall before blossoming into a $550,000
OBS March breezer. Smoldering Ash, a yearling full-sister to Get
Smokin, went for $102,000 at this year's Fasig-Tipton Kentucky
July Sale to NBS Stable's John Ballantyne, coincidentally theowner of Turf Cup runner-up Spooky Channel. The mareproduced a Classic Empire colt this year and was bred back to
Practical Joke. Cont. p17

homebred Gear Jockey (Twirling Candy) got a desperate head
down in front of 3-2 choice One Timer (Trappe Shot) and 11-1

far slimmer margin.
Final time for the six furlongs was 1:10.59. The Turf Sprint is a

Ainsworth Turf Sprint cont.
The winner was prominent throughout, stalking the :21.77 and:45.08 early fractions set by Bad Beat Brian. Gear Jockey didn't
give the leader a comfortable time of it while pressuring fromthe outside. The duo remained one-two until late stretch with
Bad Beat Brian digging in gamely, but Gear Jockey determinedly
stuck his head in front as One Timer--who won the
GII Franklin-Simpson S. over this course last year--closed down
the middle and entered the scene from the outside. The largest
margin between the first seven horses across the wire was aneck.
AHe broke very sharp. He gave me the same race he gave me
two years ago when he won here,@ said winning rider Jose
Lezcano. ATo be honest with you, I knew it was going to be very

Gear Jockey (white shadow roll) holds off the competition | CoadyGear Jockey brings his best to Kentucky Downs, as he won thisrace in 2021 with a 105 Beyer Speed Figure, his top to date, but
had neglected to find the winner's circle since until Saturday andmakes it two-for-two over the Kentucky Downs lawn. He wascoming off a sixth-place finish in the July 22 Van Clief S. at
Colonial Downs--his first start since last November--behind Front
Run the Fed (Fed Biz), who finished sixth in Saturday's Turf

Pedigree Notes:
Thanks to the healthy purses at Kentucky Downs, Gear Jockey
is the richest of Twirling Candy's 43 black-type winners, although
the stallion's 18 graded winners also include GISWs Concrete
Rose, Pinehurst, Gift Box, and Rombauer, as well as four
additional Grade I winners. The son of Candy Ride (Arg) stands
alongside his sire at Lane's End. Gear Jockey is also one of 90
stakes winners out of daughters of Tapit, whose 2023 successes
as a broodmare sire have catapulted him into the leading
damsire of the year. Gear Jockey joins luminaries such as Cody's
Wish, Pretty Mischievous, and Arcangelo on the Gainesway
sire's 'best-of' list as broodmare sire for 2023.
Calumet bought Switching Gears for $20,000 at the 2017
Keeneland January sale with Gear Jockey in utero. The mare isout of a half-sister to GISW and sire Stroll (Pulpit). Her mostrecent foal is a yearling colt by Bravazo. She was bred to
Mandaloun for next term.

BAY STORM HOLDS OFF WAKANAKA IN
LADIES TURF SPRINT by Stefanie Grimm
This year, she was on the winning side of the photo.
After coming up just a nose short to MG1SW Campanelle (Ire)(Kodiac {GB}) in this race just last year, Bay Storm (Kantharos)
parlayed a victory in Ellis Park's KY Downs Preview Mint Ladies
Turf Sprint S. into a win in the real thing as she held off a closing
Wakanaka (Ire) (Power {GB}) right on the wire.
Cont. p22

TDN HEADLINE NEWS • PAGE 22 OF 30 • THETDN.COM

After making her first two starts of 2023 at Santa Anita, the5-year-old came east and checked in a valiant second to
GI Breeders' Cup Turf Sprint winner Caravel (Mizzen Mast) in theUnbridled Sidney S. at Churchill May 5. Fourth beaten just alength in Belmont's Intercontinental S. June 9, Bay Storm
prepped for this spot with her aforementioned win as thefavorite as Ellis Park Aug. 5.
Away in the front pack Saturday in a race impacted by the
post-time scratch of Gal in a Rush (Ghostzapper), the 5-2 second
choice broke clear of the field in the opening furlong but wasquickly joined into the turn by Tony Ann (Cairo Prince). Hugging
the rail around the sweeping bend through a half in :45.80, Bay
Storm exchanged minor contact with Tony Ann and held off ahost of challengers to her outside including the race favorite in
Wakanaka who came flying from last but just missed as thethree horses hit the line together.
When asked if this win took the sting out of last year's defeat,winning trainer Jonathan Thomas answered: AWithout a doubt.
She really deserves this. She=s got a crazy good resume. I think
that=s her (17th) lifetime start and she=s only been off the board
twice. It=s a real credit to her, a graded-stakes winner. George
Isaacs and the Bridlewood team have been really patient withher. It=s kind of like a bow on a present. It feels good to havegotten her that win.@
AShe broke in the air,@ added jockey Florent Geroux. ASherecovered and came back on the inside of Tyler [Gaffalione
aboard Tony Ann] and made the lead. She ran great here lastyear on this track [losing the Ladies Sprint by a nose toCampanelle]. It was a big advantage. She is a fighter. It=s very
simple here, they either like it or they don=t. She fought today.@
Pedigree Note:
Out of a stakes winning and graded-stakes placed dam, Bay
Storm brought $400,000 as a 2-year-old at the OBS Spring 2Year-Olds in Training Sale. Her winning 3-year-old half-brother,Pensacola (Into Mischief), was himself a $600,000 2-year-old outof last year's Fasig-Tipton Midlantic Sale. With the win, Bay
Storm becomes the 39th graded-stakes winner for sireKantharos. Stormy Regatta has a yearling American Pharoah filly,
reported a colt by Essential Quality this spring and was bredback to Justify.

Closing Remarks | Benoit

Harris Farms homebred Closing Remarks made it two gradedstakes in a row and three on the year with victory in Saturday's
GII John C. Mabee S. at Del Mar Saturday. The Mabee was thesecond graded event of the Del Mar meet for turf fillies andmares following the Aug. 12 GII Yellow Ribbon H., and Closing
Remarks nabbed both.

SUNDAY • SEPTEMBER 10, 2023

July 23 Del Mar optional allowance winner Oakhurst (MrSpeaker)--from whom jockey Umberto Rispoli defected to ride
7-5 Closing Remarks here--appeared to brush the winner out of
the gate, but Closing Remarks took it in stride and was
unbothered. Free and Humble (Free Drop Billy) quickly hit thefront, while Closing Remarks lagged at the back of the packthrough the :24.12 first quarter. Turnerloose took control before
the :48.22 half with the eventual winner still at the rear as
Rispoli remained high in the saddle and in no hurry. The pair got
busy on the turn as Closing Remarks split horses, weaved in andout, and struck the front full of run with Rispoli simply waving
the stick at her. She finished a much-the-best 1 3/4-length
victress as GSW Turnerloose was reluctant to relinquish the leadbut proved no match for the winner.
AI was a bit nervous to be honest because it was such a slow
pace and she was a bit farther back than I expected her to be,@said winning trainer Carla Gaines. ABut Umberto [Rispoli] said
>Don=t worry about it, just give me the key,= so that=s what I did.@
Winner of Santa Anita's GII Royal Heroine S. Apr. 1 in addition
to the aforementioned Yellow Ribbon, Closing Remarks makes
frequent appearances in stakes trifectas in her division. She's
got a baker's dozen of wins or places in black-type events withher seven graded placings--outside of her graded wins--including
the 2021 GI Del Mar Oaks.
Pedigree Notes:
Closing Remarks isn't the only Del Mar success for Vronsky thissummer, as The Chosen Vron continued his unbeaten 2023
campaign with a win in the July 29 GI Bing Crosby S. The two areamong 13 black-type winners for the late Vronsky, who also has
five graded winners. The Danzig sire stood at Harris Farms andhas regularly been one of California's leading sires. He passed
away in 2021 of an apparent heart attack after covering a mare,with 15 2-year-olds and 26 yearlings awaiting their turn to add
to his legacy. Closing Remarks is also one of 27 stakes winners
out of daughters of the late Unusual Heat, who also stood atHarris Farms.
A $5,000 purchase by Lawrence Lewis at the CTBA January
Mixed Sale in 2020 before Closing Remarks had started, theunraced Orange Cove lost her 2020 and 2021 foals, but
produced fillies by Clubhouse Ride last year and Apr. 19. She
was bred back to that Legacy Ranch sire for 2024.

Canada=s reigning Horse of the Year Moira, winless in fiveattempts since her dominating win over the boys in lastsummer's Queen's Plate S., got back on track in a big way here.
The bay traveled nicely one from the back and moved into
fourth on the far turn. She revved up four deep at the top of thestretch and came rolling down the center to win for fun.
Disqualified from second and placed eighth as the favorite in aroughly run renewal of the GI E. P. Taylor S. at Woodbine Oct. 8,
Moira concluded her 3-year-old season with a fifth-place finish
in the GI Breeders' Cup Filly & Mare Turf at Keeneland Nov. 5.
She finished second in all three of her prior attempts this term,
including a good effort in the local GII Dance Smartly S. Aug. 20.
AShe is a very special horse,@ winning trainer Kevin Attard said.
AIt was a little disappointing at the start (of the year), she just
had some hard racing luck. Last time, she put it together andhad a good trip, just kind of ran out of ground.

Having displayed an affinity for these environs when taking out
last year's Dueling Grounds Oaks over the course and distance,
Gary Broad's Vergara employed similar stalk-and-pounce tactics
to score at the graded level for the first time in Saturday's
Ladies' Marathon at Kentucky Downs.
The sextet was away as one, and when they sorted themselves
out heading towards the first bend, it was longshot Glenall (Ire)(Coulsty {Ire}) who showed them along in advance of Vergara as
the pace was average at best. Joel Rosario kept his mount-favored by $1,299 over Personal Best (Tapit)--right on theleaders tail up and down the rise and remained the frontrunner's bay shadow down the side and into the final half-mile.
Held together on the sweep into the false straight, Vergara
struck to the lead once given her head 2 1/2 furlongs out andstayed on determinedly for the victory. Lady Rockstar was
pinched back between horses at the start and found herself
farther back than connections may have liked. She was gaining
late, but the wire arrived too soon.

SUNDAY • SEPTEMBER 10, 2023

After just getting the better of Skims (GB) (Frankel {GB}) in thelocal Oaks, Vergara was on the losing end of the rematch in the
GIII Sands Point S. in October before calling it a season. She was
likely in need of the run when fifth to future GI Diana S. heroine
Whitebeam (GB) (Caravaggio) in the May 20 GIII Gallorette S. at
Pimlico, just failed to last when beaten a length into third in the
GIII Eatontown S. June 17 and was exiting a fifth in the
12-furlong GII Glens Falls S. at Saratoga Aug. 3.
Pedigree Notes:
The eighth graded winner for her expatriated stallion, Vergara
is a half-sister to Bullseye Beauty, who was purchased bySheamus Mills Bloodstock for $180,000 at last year's Keeneland
November Sale. The dual synthetic stakes winner made one
start for trainer Joseph Price this past June at Randwick and hassince been retired to stud. Out of a half-sister to 2000 G1 St
Leger hero Millenary (GB) (Rainbow Quest), Vergara has a
2-year-old full-sister and a weanling half-brother by Code of
Honor. Her dam was bred to Justify this past season.

Ladies' Turf S. cont.
Augustin Stables homebred Regal Realm took Saturday's
GIII Kentucky Downs Ladies' Turf S. by the scruff of the neck andproved not for catching to continue a purple patch of form
during her 4-year-old season.
Drawn the inside gate in a field of seven over a course that has
been friendly to speed types, the chestnut outbroke the rest of
her rivals and quickly put daylight on her rivals on the climb tothe six-furlong marker. Galloping them along with her ears
pricked and her mouth slightly open, Regal Realm was always
traveling comfortably, awaiting her cue from Florent Geroux.
Asked for her best a quarter mile from home, she pinned herears and leveled out nicely, easily holding off final-furlong rallies
from the Augustin part-owned Sparkle Blue and White Frost.
Favored 'TDN Rising Star' New Year's Eve (Kitten's Joy) trailed
throughout. The race received no official clocking as the startinggate was reportedly placed in the wrong spot.
AShe=s been training great,@ said winning conditioner Jonathan
Thomas. AWe were looking forward to getting her here. I
thought Flo did a great job of getting her to the lead
comfortably. She looked super with her body language. Took to
the track very well. We=re just thrilled. Really, really happy for
Mr. Strawbridge. Great owner-breeder, fantastic guy to workwith. So this was really special to do for him.@
Just a maiden winner in seven starts at three, Regal Realm won
her first two starts of this season in allowance company inGulfstream in February and at Belmont in May before shippingto Shakopee to validate 7-5 favoritism in the June 21 Lady
Canterbury S. She was most recently third--with White Frost alength better in second--in the restricted De La Rose S. at
Saratoga Aug. 2.

SUNDAY • SEPTEMBER 10, 2023

Pedigree Notes:
Regal Realm is the 10th worldwide graded winner for theJapan-based Animal Kingdom and is the stallion's seventh inNorth America.
George Strawbridge acquired Regal Realm's second dam for$60,000 at the 2001 OBS June Sale and raced her to five winsfrom 15 starts, including a third placing behind Xtra Heat andCarson Hollow in the GII Barbara Fritchie H. in 2003. Regal
Realm's dam was one of two stakes winners bred by
Strawbridge out of Spelling--the other being dual Grade II
winner Spelling Again (Awesome Again)--before he sold themare to Nicoma Bloodstock in foal to Broken Vow for $50,000 at
Keeneland November in 2011.
Strawbridge parted with Sky Willow at KEENOV in 2019,
accepting $11,000 while she was carrying to Munnings, and in
addition to that maiden 3-year-old colt named Ashcroft, she is
the dam of a California-bred yearling colt by MGSW turf horse
Balance the Books (Lemon Drop Kid). Sky Willow was mostrecently covered by Moquest, an unraced 4-year-old full-brotherto Nyquist.

Palazzi outpunches Rockemperor to the wire | Michael Burns

It was a two-horse race to the wire as Palazzi andRockemperor--who had been keeping each other company atthe back of the pack early--battled down the lane to fill theexacta in the GIII Pattison Singspiel S. at Woodbine Saturday.
The race is the local prep for the Oct. 8 GI CanadianInternational.
Out of the gate, Palazzi settled in the trailing spot just off theflank of 7-year-old Rockemperor, who was ditching his usual
Grade I and II company for the first time in more than two years.
Collective Force (Tiznow) showed the way up front at 17-1 withunhurried early fractions of :25.30 and :49.36. Coming off theturn, Palazzi split horses as Rockemperor went wide to join him
on the outside. The two fought the length of the stretch, withneither giving an inch and Rockemperor never quite able to
make up the half-length Palazzi had to his advantage. It was
5 3/4 lengths back to third-place finisher Malibu Mambo on theline.
Once inconsistent, Palazzi exits the Singspiel with a three-race
win streak. He began 2023 dropped in for a $50,000 tag at
Gulfstream Mar. 31, finishing fifth, then shipped up to
Woodbine and got wins on the turf and Tapeta in back-to-backsecond and third allowance conditions June 18 and July 16 prior
to the Singspiel. He had won 2021's Texas Turf Mile S. andplaced in that same year's GIII Kentucky Utilities Transylvania S.

and two listed stakes, but struggled to find the winner's circle
again until this summer. Team Casse had purchased him for$510,000 at the 2019 Fasig-Tipton Saratoga yearling sale andMark Casse remained the trainer of record when Bluewater
Sales purchased him on behalf of Gary Barber for $35,000 at the2022 Keeneland November sale.
Pedigree Notes:
Palazzi becomes the 27th graded winner for WinStar's late
Pioneerof the Nile, who also has 54 black-type winners. He is
also one of 99 stakes winners out of a daughter of Airdrie's late
Indian Charlie. The Pioneerof the Nile/Indian Charlie cross also
produced July 22 GIII Ontario Colleen S. winner Mohawk Trail,
also on Woodbine's lawn.
In addition to Palazzi, Kindle produced Turfway's 2021 Forego
S. winner Made in America (Tiznow). Her 2-year-old colt, A Day
to Remember (American Pharoah), was third at Del Mar July 29
in his only start to date for trainer Mark Glatt. He was a$300,000 Keeneland September yearling purchase by Muir Hut

Aiming for his 17th trophy in this race is Bob Baffert and theHall of Famer not only has the aforementioned colt, winner lastout of the GIII Best Pal S. at Del Mar and who is installed as themorning-line favorite at 2-5, but he also sends Mirahmadi (Into
Mischief) to the post.
A $1.05-million Keeneland September Yearling Sale purchaseby the ownership consortium of SF Racing, Starlight Racing,
Madaket Stables, Dianne Bashor, Robert E. Masterson, Waves
Edge Capital, Catherine Donovan and Tom Ryan, who are also
involved with Stonestreet Stables in Prince of Monaco,
Mirahmadi will look to rebound from being summarily
disqualified and placed fourth after wavering down the stretch
against maidens in what was his third start Aug. 26 at Del Mar.
Wearing the same silks as the morning-line favorite, Tim
Yakteen trainee Rothschild (Uncle Mo) fetched $700,000 at thesame Keeneland sale as his undefeated stablemate. The bay colt
flashed early speed when he broke his maiden in his second
career race by 5 1/4 lengths at Del Mar Aug. 25.
Also on the graded slate is the GIII Del Mar Juvenile Turf whichfeatures a number of hopefuls. Pin Oak Stud's 'TDN Rising Star'

Jackie and Sam, made their first purchases at auction, the stableis emerging as a player at major racetracks.
AMy family has been in love with horse racing since my great

He is a two-time American League All-Star.
Veteran bloodstock agent Mike Akers and Ciaran Dunne ofWavertree Stables in Ocala, Florida, have guided Bregman as hebuilt his roster and helped him select trainers Arnold, George
Weaver and Doug O=Neill.
The stable is handled by an enthusiastic racing manager.
AThat's me,@ Bregman said. AI love it. It's a passion of mine. It's
something that I'll love forever and something that I want to be
involved with forever. I want to build something special.@
While the baseball schedule keeps him away from the track,
Bregman tries to see the races unfold live.
AI normally watch them with my whole team, and we yell at
the TV hoping that we win,@ he said.
As a result, he has become something of a racing ambassador
to the Astros.
ASome of my teammates actually have owned parts of horsesthat we've owned,@ he said. AIt's been a blast. They love it now.@

At odds of 11-1, Thirty Thou Kelvin delivered her second stakes
win in a row after she wired a field over soft going in theChristina S. at Delaware Park July 15.
At Colonial, the bay filly led from the beginning, timing out thefractions to her advantage around the first turn and up thebackstretch. The John Terranova trainee began to feel pressure
from Alpha Bella around the far turn, and as the lane opened up,
Thirty Thou Kelvin dug down deep along the fence to find thewire just in time.
The winner's dam produced an unraced 2-year-old filly named
Pour Some Wisdom (The Factor) and she foaled a colt Jan. 31 by
Tiz the Law. She was bred to Scalding for 2024.

Book=em Danno signed his own ticket to bigger and betterthings with another stylish victory, but this time in open stakes
company in the Smoken Glacken S.
A runaway 9 1/2-length winner on unveiling at track and near
trip, the break in that day proved to be the most nerve-wracking
part of the Aug. 12 state-bred maiden contest when he was
bumped with enough force to cause his jockey to briefly lose an
iron.
Hammered down to 2-5 favoritism Saturday, he bided his timefrom midpack in the four path before launching his bid throughthe turn, advancing quickly enough to assume command at the
top of the lane. Edging away as debuting Sea Streak tried tokeep pace, two lengths separated the top pair and it was overeight back to Ship to Shore, who rounded out the trifecta andgave his sire both minor placings.
AHe=s pretty good. He=s been training really good and I
expected him to win because he=s a nice horse. He=s very agile.

TDN NORTH AMERICAN • PAGE 4 OF 19 • THETDN.COM

You can do anything you want with him," said conditioner Derek
Ryan. "It=s good to win this stakes race. Henry Carroll (trainer of
Smoke Glacken) was a friend of mine."
Of where his star might appear next, he added:"He might have [New Jersey-bred] after his name but he=s nota Jersey-bred. He=s a racehorse. We=ll take him to New York now
and go from there. This is the best one I=ve had in a while byfar.@
The second to the races and the second to earn black-type forhis dam, Book=em Danno has a yearling half-brother by Classic
Empire. After not producing any offspring last season, and nobreeding report on record that year, Adorabella visited Medaglia
d=Oro for 2024. The winner is also the second black-type scorer
for his sophomore sire. Click for the Equibase.com chart or

Dodging raindrops, Tok Tok ran home a winner in his second
career race for Graham Motion after he broke his maiden overthe grass sprinting at Colonial Downs by a half-length July 27.
Sent off as a 5-1 shot here, the colt broke alertly, moved to therail and then settled third into the first turn as filly Determined
Sail showed the way. Under a slow half at :50.17, Tok Tok
launched his bid around far turn, was hemmed in briefly, but
once free, ran on nicely to win over the surging Triple Espresso.

The Irish-bred then returned to the East Coast with a dominant
win as the heavy favorite in Monmouth's Tyro S. last time out
July 30.
Despite running over his fourth track in as many starts, No Nay
Mets jumped as nearly a sure thing at 1-5 in the wagering andshowed his customary early speed to set a pressured lead justahead of King Kontie (Karakontie {Jpn}). Pushed throughfractions of :21.45 and :44.06, he continued to find more anddrew off readily when asked into the lane to sprint clear for theeasy win.
Etoile, herself a group winner in Ireland, is a full-sister to last
week's GIII Mint Millions S. winner Ancient Rome. This is also theextended family of GI Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf winner
Pizza Bianca (Fastnet Rock {Aus}) who RNA'd for $3.45-million atlast year's Fasig-Tipton Kentucky Fall Mixed Sale. No Nay Mets is

After she broke her maiden at first asking at Del Mar over the
Jimmy Durante Turf Course Aug. 19, Flattery returned here as
the 3-1 third choice. From the first jumps she was taken backalong the rail towards the rear of the field as a longshot set a
brisk pace. The Peter Eurton trainee continued to wait until the
far turn when she tipped to the outside and rolled home under adrive.
"I didn't know if she was going to get out of it because they
were kind of trapped a little inside,@ said Eurton. ABut once he
got her settled it was just a matter of time. He had so muchhorse. She's kind of jumped up a level since her last. She's moreprecocious and her last works were more on the bridle. She
picked things up pretty quick."

One 2-year-old filly went into Gulfstream's FTBOA Florida Sire
Desert Vixen S. unbeaten and the same one emerged with herrecord intact. Despite breaking smartly in the short field,
Welcome Back relinquished the lead and eventually got shuffledback to fourth behind early fractions of :23.46 and :46.41. She
tipped out in the lane at least six paths wide, mowed down theleaders and nabbed Mist on the wire by a nose.
The bay's only previous start was a 1 3/4-length win from far
back after hitting the gate July 29 going five furlongs on
Gulfstream's all-weather surface. She was 25-1 that day and the
4-5 choice Saturday.
The winner's dam is out of a half-sister to 2015 GI Del Mar
Oaks winner Sharla Rae (Afleet Alex). Welcome Back is the first
foal for Lady Marchella, who has a yearling filly named Flamant(Khozan) and was bred to Caracaro for next term. Click for theEquibase.com chart or VIDEO, sponsored by FanDuel TV.

Xtreme Diva continued her domination of the state-bredrankings with another overwhelming victory, this time in the
Northern Lights Debutante S. With the win, she became Coal
Front's (by Stay Thirsty) first black-type winner as a freshman
sire.
Unlike in her unveiling Aug. 9 on a sloppy track where sherolled by over 12 1/2 unchallenged lengths, Xtreme Diva had tovie from tight quarters in this start, saving ground until the turnwhere she drew clear of her challengers and from there, thequestion was only how far she wanted to win by. Ridden out toa 7 3/4-length margin, the 2-5 favorite led them in to a formful
finish as A Primera Vista and Go Lee Ann Go picked up second

margin past the eighth pole and scooped up his first stakes win.

AUGUSTE RODIN ON TOP
IN THE IRISH CHAMPION

Auguste Rodin (centre) | Racingfotos.com

by Tom Frary
Proving once again that he belongs at the top of the tree,
Auguste Rodin (Ire) (Deep Impact {Jpn}--Rhododendron {Ire}, by
Galileo {Ire}) laid it all out on Saturday to prevail in a gruelling
edition of Leopardstown=s G1 Royal Bahrain Irish Champion S. As
he had in the Derby, when churning out historical sectionals at
the business end, the 11-4 favourite was able to handle ademanding test carved out by last year=s hero Luxembourg (Ire)(Camelot {GB}) and pour it on late as the closers inevitably cameinto the picture.
Subduing Luxembourg a furlong from home, the third TDN
Rising Star winner on the card, who is possibly the most grounddependant elite performer that Aidan O=Brien has trained, wasreportedly idling late as he led home a one-two for the yard byhalf a length in this AWin and You=re In@ qualifier for the GI
Breeders= Cup Turf. Luxembourg, who was back to his
determined best, grimly hung on to the runner=s-up spot by ashort head from the strong-finishing Nashwa (GB) (Frankel{GB}), as King Of Steel (Wootton Bassett {GB}) finished on theirheels a further half a length behind in fourth.
AWe knew that Luxembourg was in a great place and AugusteRodin is a magical horse really--a great horse, bottom line,@
O=Brien said. Cont. p3

THE CURRAGH: ALL EYES ON CITY OF TROY
IN THE NATIONAL by Tom Frary
While the G1 Irish St Leger is officially the feature race on the
Curragh=s second part of the Irish Champions Festival, Sunday=s
fixture is really first and foremost about Ballydoyle=s TDN RisingStar City Of Troy (Justify) who graces the G1 Goffs Vincent
O=Brien National S. Of all the stable=s 2-year-old stars over the
past 25 years, he already looks at home accompanying the same
metaphoric space as the likes of Johannesburg, Fasliyev, Air
Force Blue, Hawk Wing, Rock Of Gibraltar (Ire) and Little Big
Bear (Ire) which is an astonishing statement based on just tworuns.
The second of City Of Troy=s outings in a renewal of the G2
Superlative S. which contained some smart types including thesubsequent G2 Vintage S. winner Haatem (Ire) (Phoenix Of Spain{Ire}) marked him out in terms of stride pattern and sectionals asa rare jewel. Extremely rare. Cont. p17

The maestro of Ballydoyle added, AThe little thing is he wants
to get there late, as he parks in front and we always knew that.
He=s a beautiful mover and an easy cruiser and Ryan was
delighted that he had the horse in front who was going to get
him there. He has an unbelievable capacity to go a very hightempo from very early and quicken off it, but when he getsthere he waits.@
Flying in the face of convention has been Auguste Rodin=s
hallmark from a relatively early point. First, there was the G1Futurity Trophy success after a painful wait from connections to
see whether he would be allowed to take part after Doncasterwas hit by heavy rain. If he managed to navigate soft there, he
was completely unable to deal with it underfoot in Newmarket=s2000 Guineas and at Ascot where he was gone long before thehome turn. Even the Irish Derby was visually unexciting and so
had he not delivered a masterclass at Epsom in between, heprobably wouldn=t have been here at all.
Whereas in the King George he couldn=t lay up from theoutset, this time Auguste Rodin looked for a brief spell as if hemight land in front but Seamie Heffernan was intent on taking
up the mantle with Point Lonsdale (Ire) (Australia {GB}) acting as
wing-man. While the Irish Derby happened in what O=Brien
classes as Asecond gear the whole way@, this was as truly-run as
any Group 1 race of recent times with Luxembourg back on-songand crunching away at the numbers in front.
Any weakness in the eventual winner would have been
exposed by the time they passed the two pole, but instead of
curling up Auguste Rodin continued to tick off relentless fast
fractions.

SUNDAY • 10 SEPTEMBER 2023

Understandably, Luxembourg buckled slightly though notenough to suggest his performance was anything other than a
top-class one and probably a career-best but his year-younger
stablemate occupies marginally higher territory.
AHe is so slick, he=s all action,@ O=Brien added. ASoft ground has
to hinder him and we were lucky Ryan was on him at Ascot sothat no physical damage was done. AHe is so important to thebreed and you know how quickly they can be destroyed, so allcredit to the lads who knew Ascot was not his run at all. I haveto thank Michael [Tabor] for having the confidence in everybody
to relax and calm down and come back.@
AA couple of times this year it all went totally wrong,@ hecontinued. AHe=s very tough, very hardy, but a little bit peculiar.
Annemarie was watching him in the stable. If things happen
around his environment he stays awake all night. He doesn=t
sleep. He=s probably just a very sensitive horse. He takes ineverything.@
Moore was in no doubt cantering to post that his mount wasback in the groove. AI knew he was in a real good place and hefloated around there--it never really felt in any doubt and he
was just waiting a bit in the last 100 yards,@ Moore said. AIt isvery satisfying for him to come back and prove how good he isagain.@ Cont. p4

G1 Irish Champion S. Cont.
The jockey added, AAidan=s done a fantastic job and I always
felt this was his ideal trip--his dam didn=t stay a mile and a half
and won a Lockinge. It was an evenly-run race and they all had
their chance.@
O=Brien is thinking of swerving ParisLongchamp and thehabitual slog through the mud next month. AHe probably
wouldn=t go to the Arc, as the ground is usually soft and the lads
love the Breeders= Cup,@ he said. AHe=d love Santa Anita, as you
know you=re going to get fast ground so we=ll see how he is after
a week or 10 days. That=s a strong possibility--I=d say the Turf
rather than the Classic, and whatever after that. He went byboat to Epsom and that was one of the common denominatorsthat wasn=t stacking up, the flying. Maybe if he flies again heneeds a little bit of time to get over it.@Pedigree Notes
Auguste Rodin=s record bodes extremely well for his five-times
Group 1-winning champion dam Rhododendron, who also had
her dips as well as highs but was capable of magic when at her
peak. He is her first foal, with her second a colt by Dubawi (Ire)born this year. The second dam is Halfway To Heaven (Ire)(Pivotal {GB}), whose three top-level triumphs included an Irish
1000 Guineas and who also produced Galileo=s seven-times

TAHIYRA TOO GOOD IN THE MATRON
by Tom Frary
There were few surprise outcomes on Leopardstown=s Irish
Champions card on Saturday, merely simple rubber-stamping of
the positions of the season=s category leaders. Step forward The

Tahiyra collects her fourth Group 1 in the Matron | Racingfotos.com

Content to follow the leaders throughout the early stages inthis berth for the GI Breeders= Cup Filly & Mare Turf, thehalf-sister to the luminary Tarnawa (Ire) (Shamardal) cruised to
the fore soon into the straight and once committed tookcommand a furlong out. Soon beyond reach, the 5-6 favourite
had 1 1/4 lengths to spare over Rogue Millennium (GB) (Dubawi{Ire}) at the line, with half a length back to Just Beautiful (GB)(Pride Of Dubai {Aus}) in third.
ANo matter how many Group 1s you=re fortunate in life to win,that will always go down as a special one for us--all the pressure
was on this filly and she keeps winning,@ Weld said of the secondof three successful TDN Rising Stars on the card. Cont. p6

G1 Matron S. Cont.
The trainer said, ALeopardstown has been very lucky for me
and the way to ride it, like most tracks, is to just keep it simple
and ride her with confidence. She=s a very talented filly. She waseight to 10 kilos heavier today than when she won at Royal
Ascot and I was just very happy when I saw Chris cruising there
on the outside. Obviously the Breeders= Cup has to be apossibility and a decision will be made on whether she=s kept intraining for next year.@

Tahiyra is the third foal out of the Listed Oyster S. and Listed

AThere are too many people to thank,@ he continued. ARegional
is a straightforward horse and Callum Rodriguez has done atremendous job getting him out of the stalls because he had
been inclined to miss the break. It is a massive performance.
Today we were much more comfortable at this trip at this level.
It has been a culmination of a fantastic year through their hard
work and I=m just the lucky one to have my name on the ticket.
AThey [owners Future Champions Racing Regional] are a fun

Of the beaten favourite, James Doyle said, AEverything wasfine. He had a bit of a wobble before the gates opened but that
didn=t affect his start as he jumped very clean. He travelled

DIEGO VELAZQUEZ WINS THE CHAMPIONSJUVENILE by Tom Frary
Aidan O=Brien had already won nine of the 16 renewals of
Leopardstown=s revamped G2 KPMG Champions Juvenile S. anddelivered another on Saturday with a stable one-two in thebargain. This race is a AWin and You=re In@ for the GI Breeders=
Cup Juvenile Turf in California.

Diego Velazquez downs Capulet (obscured) at Leopardstown
Racingfotos.com

Despite the impressive attitude of Capulet (Justify) at the headof affairs, it was the 8-15 favourite Diego Velazquez (Ire)(Frankel {GB}--Sweepstake {Ire}, by Acclamation {GB}) who
proved master of ceremonies as he took over a furlong fromhome en route to a half-length success to earn the bragging
rights. A half-brother to Australia=s classy Broome (Ire) and Point
Lonsdale (Ire), the winner who earned TDN Rising Star status
with a 4 3/4-length success on debut at the Curragh last month
was providing Ryan Moore with the first of four winners on theday. Atlantic Coast (Ire) (Kodiac {GB}) was 3 1/4 lengths behindin third, with the established Deepone (GB) (Study Of Man {Ire})
also far enough away to lend the race suitable credibility.
AWe liked the second horse a lot and we knew we needed
something to take him and stretch him a little bit,@ O=Brien
revealed. AThey didn=t go very fast for the first half and turned it
on from halfway, so he learned a lot. We were surprised the firstday that he ran in the Curragh how babyish he was, he never
took a hold of the bridle. Today he was green as well, but a lot
better. We think the race will leave him in a very good place. I=dimagine he=ll go for the Futurity Trophy, we did it with AugusteRodin last year, but we knew this horse had to learn a lot morethan Auguste did last year.@ Cont. p11

TDN EUROPE • PAGE 11 OF 26 • THETDN.COM

G2 Champions Juvenile S. Cont.
Of Capulet, he added, AHe=s a good horse. He won first time at
Dundalk and we liked him. He=s out of a good Galileo mare andwe thought he was a fair horse. Seamus liked him a lot today.
He=s a typical Justify, the minute you go beyond seven furlongs
they seem to grow another leg. They are really Classic-bred
middle-distance horses and you=d have to be really happy withhim also.@

Pedigree Notes
Diego Velazquez, who at 2.4million gns was upstaged only by
Godolphin=s 2.8million gns purchase at the Tatts Book 1 Sale, iscurrently the last known foal out of the Listed National S. winnerand GIII Appalachian S. and G3 Princess Margaret-placed
Sweepstake whose own dam Dust Flicker (GB) (Suave Dancer) isa full-sister to the G3 Prix de la Nonette scorer Dust Dancer (GB).
She is in turn the second dam of the stable=s G1 Phoenix
S.-winning sire Zoffany (Ire), Frankel=s G2 Futurity S. winner andG1 Irish Derby runner-up Rostropovich (Ire) and the G3
Bengough S. winner Projection (GB) also by Acclamation, while
Dust Flicker=s half-siblings include the G3 Fred Darling S. winner
Bulaxie (GB) (Bustino {GB}).
Bulaxie produced the G2 Premio Lydia Tesio winner Claxon(GB) (Caerleon), who is responsible for the GIII Hillsborough S.
scorer Cassydora (GB) (Darshaan {GB}), in turn the dam of the

SUNDAY • 10 SEPTEMBER 2023

multiple group-winning stayer Ernest Hemingway (Ire) by
Frankel=s sire Galileo (Ire) and the G3 Prix d=Aumale scorer
Toulifaut (Ire) by Frankel himself. Recent updates to thisillustrious dynasty have been provided by the G1 Moyglare StudS. and G2 Debutante S.-placed Sunset Shiraz (Ire) (Time Test{GB}) and by one of this year=s faster juveniles Elite Status (GB)(Havana Grey {GB}), who took the G3 Prix de Cabourg and has
been placed in the G2 Norfolk S. The winner probably has morepace than the aforementioned Broome, whose long career has
featured a win in the G1 Grand Prix de Saint-Cloud, and also thisyear=s G2 Huxley S. scorer Point Lonsdale who placed in the G1Vincent O=Brien National S. and G1 Coronation Cup.

FLIGHT PLAN MAKES ALL IN THE
SOLONAWAY by Tom FraryEntering Saturday=s G2 Dullingham Park S., or Solonaway S. as
it is registered, slightly under the radar, Clipper Logistics=
3-year-old Flight Plan (GB) (Night Of Thunder {Ire}) did it for
Britain as he led his rivals a merry dance to dominate the
Leopardstown mile contest. Tried in the 2000 Guineas in thespring, the Karl Burke-trained 15-2 shot who was last seen
finishing third in York=s G3 Strensall S. was always in control
under an enterprising ride from Danny Tudhope. Playing
perfectly to the front-running bias that this track is often guiltyof when the ground rides on top, he maintained the impressive
gallop to score by 1 1/4 lengths from the 2-1 favourite Buckaroo(GB) (Fastnet Rock {Aus}), with last year=s GI Breeders= CupJuvenile Turf hero Victoria Road (Ire) (Saxon Warrior {Jpn}) ahead away in third.
AWe have finally found the way to ride him,@ Tudhope said of
the winner, who was also second in the Listed Burradon S. at
Newcastle and in Pontefract=s Listed Pomfret S. Cont. p13

ADELAIDE RIVER TAKES THE KILTERNAN
by Tom Frary
Making it another Irish Champions Day winner that was easy
to find on paper, the third pattern-race winner for Aidan O=Brien
and Ryan Moore came in the G3 Paddy Power S. registered as
the Kilternan S. courtesy of Adelaide River (Ire) (Australia {GB}).
Always comfortable in a clear lead, the 11-8 favourite by virtueof the class edge he held having been runner-up in the G1 Irish
Derby and G1 Grand Prix de Paris turned the screw from the topof the straight and may have been idling late as Al Aasy (Ire)(Sea The Stars {Ire}) cut the deficit to half a length.
O=Brien had a surprising admission about the colt who had
pushed Auguste Rodin (Ire) (Deep Impact {Jpn}) so hard in the
Curragh Classic. AWe always thought he was kind of like Duke Of
Marmalade, as he=s after competing in big ones and getting very
close in them but he=s such a big horse that he=s definitely goingto have to be a way better horse next year,@ he said. AHe=s after
having a few tough races in second so it was nice for him tocome here and Ryan was able to dictate his own pace on him.
He said he did quicken very well, but just got a bit lonely in thelast half a furlong.@

Pedigree Notes
Adelaide River, who had also been third in the G1 Criterium deSaint-Cloud and second in the G2 Beresford S. as a 2-year-old, isthe first foal out of Could It Be Love (War Front) who was secondin the G1 Irish 1000 Guineas and a clutch of lesser black-type
contests. A half-sister to the GI Breeders= Cup Juvenile and GI
Champagne S.-winning champion and leading sire Uncle Mo, her
unraced 2-year-old filly Everlasting (Ire) is by Kingman (GB),while she also has a yearling by the same sire due to sell on
Monday at the Keeneland September Sale. She was bred to Gun

ZOUSTAR=S STARLUST PREVAILS IN SIRENIATHRILLER by Sean Cronin
Fitri Hay=s dual nursery handicap second Starlust (GB) (Zoustar{Aus}--Beyond Desire {GB}, by Invincible Spirit {Ire}) notched aquickfire double at Chelmsford and Newbury earlier in the year
and took a step up the ladder with a narrow verdict inSaturday=s G3 Unibet Zero% Mission Sirenia S. at Kempton, hissixth straight start going six furlongs.
With tasks made easier by the scratching of >TDN Rising Star=
Eben Shaddad (Calyx {GB}), Starlust went postward as the 2-1
second favourite and found a comfortable rhythm off the pacein sixth before improving one spot on the run to halfway.
Making eyecatching headway out wide in the straight, hequickened stylishly to launch his challenge entering the final
furlong and kept on in relentless fashion under hands-and-heels
rousting to deny the resilient Seven Questions (Ire) (Kodiac{GB}) by a head after a thrilling tussle. Juddmonte=s Array (Ire)(No Nay Never), who ran second behind Starlust at Newbury in
July, was on hand throughout the final quarter-mile and tappedout late to finish a half-length back in third.
AI was pretty tight to Callum [Shepherd on Seven Questions],
so I couldn=t use my stick and was hands and heels for a good
furlong-and-a-half,@ explained winning rider Hector Crouch.
AEvery time Callum came to fight back, my lad kept keeping his
nose in front and I was always pretty confident we were going towin. He=s a classy horse, he=s very tough and his attitude is
impeccable. I see no reason why he won=t improve further fromthis. He=s versatile, ground-wise, and I think he=s going to be areal good, fun horse.@

Pedigree Notes
Starlust is the seventh of nine foals and one of four scorers outof G3 Prix de Saint-Georges victrix Beyond Desire (GB)(Invincible Spirit {Ire}). The April-foaled bay is full to a weanling
filly and a half to Listed Lansdown Fillies= S. winner Queen Of

BAY BRIDGE BACK WITH A BANG AT

Sir Michael Stoute trainee Bay Bridge (GB) (New Bay {GB}-Hayyona {GB}, by Multiplex {GB}), winless in three Group 1
starts since annexing last term=s G1 Champion S., regained thewinning thread with a confidence-boosting success in Saturday=s
G3 Unibet September S. at Kempton.
The 8-11 favourite hit the board in both G1 Prix Ganay and G1Tattersalls Gold Cup earlier in the campaign and went postward
this first outing at the 12-furlong trip coming back off a fifth in
the G1 Prince of Wales=s S. at Royal Ascot. Bay Bridge broke welland was positioned fourth passing the judge first time before
tanking along in third down the backstraight. Waiting patiently
for the cutaway once turning for home, he quickened in style toseize control approaching the final furlong and stayed onstrongly thereafter to easily defeat Candleford (Ire) (Kingman{GB}) by 3 3/4 lengths, becoming a record seventh winner of thecontest for Stoute.
AWe were unsure about the distance, so we=ve ticked that box
and that=s a real big plus,@ said Stoute after adding anotheredition to his record haul. AWe=ll do some thinking now with theowners as to where we go next. The [faster] ground stopped
him earlier in the season, so he had an enforced break. He wasvery impressive today and I like the way he did it.@SUNDAY • 10 SEPTEMBER 2023

Bay Bridge is the fourth of eight foals and one of three scorers
from four runners out of a half-sister to G2 Prix Eugene Adam

Wootton Bassett (GB)=s Chindit (Ire), making his first start for
Villoo Poonawalla and Greenfield Farms, stalked and pounced totake the G3 Best Odds On The Betfair Exchange Superior Mile S.
at Haydock Park on Saturday.
Point Lynas (Ire) (Iffraaj {GB}) led through the early stages
while pressed by Misty Grey (Ire) (Dark Angel {Ire}). Never out
of touch with the leaders, although near the rear of the field,
Chindit was a 5-2 shot, and began to improve once the real
running began. Taking over from Misty Grey at the quarter-milemarker, Chindit had gotten the jump on the favoured Light
Infantry (Fr) (Fast Company {Ire}) who was briefly in want ofroom, and hit the line 2 1/4 lengths ahead of that foe. Regal
Reality (GB) (Intello {Ger}) was third, another neck behind.

Richard Hannon, who was winning his first Superior Mile, said,
AMr. Poonawalla purchased him to see his mares once he retires
from racing and he has now won a group race at two, three, fourand five. He looks right back to his very best form.
AThere are a couple of races in Australia and races around two
bends over a mile in America and he might even be the sort ofhorse that gets an invite to Hong Kong. There are lots of options
for him, although today I really did think he looked like a Group
1 horse. Sean Fox deserves a mention as he has done a great job
with him.@
Jockey James Doyle said, AIt looked a nice opportunity for him
on paper and it looked a match race between him and Light
Infantry. We didn=t get off to a great start and he was a bit
sleepy early. We didn=t go crazy, but we went fast enough that I
was able to hit the line good and come into it nice and strongly. I
asked him a huge question from a furlong out, but he is a classhorse, and he got the job done well.@A 65,000gns Tattersalls October Book 2 yearling selection by
Peter and Ross Doyle Bloodstock, the March foal won the G2Champagne S. at two, the G3 Greenham S. at three, and ran
third in the 2022 G1 Lockinge S. and won the G2 Summer Mile S.

Al Musmak became the second new stakes winner for his
Darley sire in one day at Haydock Park after the victory of Flight
Plan (GB) in the G2 Dullingham Park S. at Leopardstown.
A winner of an Ascot novice race on debut in July, the colt wassecond to Rosallion (Ire) (Blue Point {Ire}) in the Listed Pat
Eddery S. there at the end of the month. Content to sit near the
tail of the field as Hot Fuss (Ire) (Calyx {GB}) made up thevanguard, the bay mounted his charge with 300 metres
remaining and ground his way to the head of affairs by the
furlong marker. Although he leaned to the left in the final
strides, Al Musmak had done enough to secure the victory andbecome the 38th stakes winner for his Darley sire. Juddmonte=s
Macduff was second.
Said pilot Ben Curtis, AHe relaxed lovely at the back, and I was
keen not to give them too much rope at the two pole here as
they can get away from you. He travelled into it nice and to behonest when I asked him he responded and he went to the frontand saw out the mile well. It was very pleasing. He floatedacross the ground and that was probably the question mark as
the ground up until now has been a bit slower, but he handledthat beautifully. He has the right mind for it and he took it well.
Hopefully he can take another step forward after that.@

SKEW WIFF
REVERSES RESULTThe second stakes winner for the day (Tokyo Tycoon {NZ} by
Santono Aladdin {Jpn}) the other) for Starcraft (NZ) as abroodmare sire, Skew Wiff is the first foal for the Listed Hazlett
S. winner Starvoia.
Served last spring by Noverre (NZ) after foaling a Super Sethfilly, Starvoia--whose 3-year-old is a yet to be named full brotherto Skew Wiff--is a granddaughter of the G1 South Australian
Oaks winner Dowry (NZ) (Bahhare {USA}).
Dowry is one of three stakes winners produced by Meant For
Me (NZ) (Noble Bijou {USA}), also dam of the G2 International
Trophy winner Fatal (NZ) (Bakharoff {USA}) and the Listed
winner Richfield Destiny (NZ) (Bakharoff {USA}).

By Keely Mckitterick
It was a super Saturday for Mark Walker and Sam Bergerson
under the Te Akau Racing banner to claim the two 3-year-old
features. The pair sent the Waikato Stud-bred- and -ownedmare Skew Wiff (NZ) (Savabeel) out in the G1 Tarzino Trophy.
The daughter of Savabeel was denied narrowly by Dragon
Leap (Pierro) first-up in the G2 Foxbridge Plate but was able toexact her revenge by beating that galloper.
The G1 Australian Guineas heroine Legarto (NZ) (Proisir)kicked off her preparation in fine style, finishing in third only 0.4l
away.
The Australian Group 1 winners Callsign Mav (NZ) (Atlante)finished fifth, while Sharp >N= Smart (NZ) (Redwood {GB}) andPennyweka (NZ) (Proisir) finished ninth and 13th, respectively.
The Tarzino Trophy is the third win and first Group 1 successfor Skew Wiff, who has been placed twice at the elite level.
It was a deserved big-race breakthrough for Skew Wiff, who
had twice been placed at the elite level, and a tough win it was
too.

Pedigree Notes
The 134th stakes winner and the 32nd Group 1 winner for her
Waikato Stud-based, G1 WS Cox Plate-winning sire, a stalwart of
New Zealand breeding, she is a Waikato homebred.
