THE SARATOGACONVERSATION:TODD PLETCHER

Todd Pletcher and Tim Wilkin in Saratoga | Sarah Andrew

by Tim Wilkin
Before he became a Hall of Fame trainer, Todd Pletcher was
once a sports journalist. Kind of. He had a nickname, too. Findout what horse race is his most satisfying victory and who were
his favorite horses to train. And, if you want to find out what
NFL team is near and dear to his heart, dive right in. Find out all
you never knew about one of the most successful trainers in thehistory of the sport.
TDN: On your resume--and I am not going to go through thewhole thing because we would be here for hours--no one has
more Eclipse Awards for leading trainer than you. No one has
more Saratoga training titles than you. Two Kentucky Derbys.
Four Belmonts. Is there one thing you have done that sticks
out for you?
Todd Pletcher: I don't know if there is one individual
achievement that stands out. I would like to think it's been theconsistency that we have been able to maintain at a pretty highlevel over an extended period of time.

WITH A HEART ATHE SIZE OF TEXAS,@
SPECIAL ME'S FAIRYTALE KEEPS GETTINGBETTER by Katie Petrunyak
Special Me has been the gift that keeps on giving for breeders
Carrie and Craig Brogden and Dr. Sandra Fubini of Machmer
Hall. Now that the outstanding broodmare is 18 years old, you'dthink that her best days are behind her. But with a Grade I
winner competing at the top level of the filly and mare turf
division this year and an impressive fleet of well-bred, unraced
progeny in the pipeline, the mare's fairytale story just keeps
getting better.
Carrie Brogden famously purchased Special Me, a Marylandbred daughter of Unbridled's Song, for just $6,000 at the 2009
Keeneland January Sale. Born six weeks premature, the 14.2hand filly who never placed better than sixth in three career
starts was about as unassuming of a broodmare prospect as one
could possibly find. Flash forward 15 years and the petite graymare has built up a produce record worthy of the blue henappellation.
AIt's kind of amazing that she was actually named Special Me
and she became so special,@ reflected Brogden. AIt's hard to put
into words something that you just can't believe you actually
have. I mean, you see her now at 18 and she's got old arthritic
knees, but she has heart. Gosh, she has a heart the size of
Texas.@
Special Me was already the dam of Grade I winner Gift Box(Twirling Candy), who now stands at Lane's End Farm, and Grade
II winners Stonetastic (Mizzen Mast) and Special Forces (Candy
Ride {Arg}) when Gina Romantica (Into Mischief) came onto thescene. Cont. p8

The Saratoga Conversation (cont. from p1)
TDN: So, there is not one thing you are going to hang your hat
on and say, 'that was pretty cool.'
TP: I tell you, it's a difficult business to sort of sit back while you
are still active and reflect on everything that has happened. I
have found, maybe at times, when you have some milestoneachievementsY3,000 wins, 5,000 winsYyou kind of briefly
reflect like 'wow, I never anticipated it would accumulate to thatlevel.' You can get inducted into the Hall of Fame and then laterthat afternoon go over and lose four races.
TDN: You are 57. There is still a long way to go.
TP: I would hope so.
TDN: When you were a student at Arizona, didn't you dabble injournalism a little bit?
TP: I did. But I wouldn't call it journalism. That might be
stretching it a little bit. My roommate, who was an English
major, was the beat writer for the Arizona football team. He
came back one day and said there was a job I needed to take. I
said, 'what are you talking about?' He said the guy that covers
intramural sports for the Arizona Daily Wildcat quit today. He
said it was a piece of cake. I ended up doing it. One of the things
I did was the intramural rankings for flag football, for

TUESDAY • JULY 23, 2024

volleyballYwhatever sport was going on. I would make therankings and our fraternity would be ranked No. 1 a lot of times.
I was also refereeing intramural basketball and volleyball. I could
ref a game and get 20 bucks and write an article and get another20 bucks. I was killing it. Double dipping. I also wrote an article
previewing the 1989 Kentucky Derby and I picked Sunday
Silence to beat Easy Goer.
TDN: So, everyone in the fraternity got rich?
TP: (laughs) I don't know. We were already gone by the timethey ran. It was right around graduation.
TDN: I know horse racing was with you from the start, but did
you ever think you would be a journalist?
TP: No, no, no. I wasn't a good enough writer. I just stumbled
onto that.
TDN: People who don't know Todd Pletcher might say he isdry, no sense of humor. I know that is not true. You can be afunny guy, can't you?
TP: Occasionally, I think I crack some people up. Probably notvery many.
TDN: It's not like you are a piece of sandpaper.
TP: No. I think it gets mislabeled a little bit. I don't necessarily
look at that as a bad thing either.

TDN HEADLINE NEWS • PAGE 4 OF 13 • THETDN.COM

TDN: When you walk through the crowd at Saratoga, howoften does someone ask you for a horse?
TP: Pretty much every day. You would expect when you walkthrough, you'd get 'do you like this one?'
TDN: Do you answer them?
TP: Yeah. Usually it's "we're trying Y hopefully." I don't tellthem, 'go to the window on this one.'
TDN: With all your success, some people might look at you likethey look at the New York Yankees. They root against you
because of all the past success.
TP: I think there is some element to that. I think maybe you go
through phases. When (Bill) Mott was the leading trainer here
every year, maybe he was that guy. Then me, and now Chad
(Brown). It's human nature to root for the underdogs. The dukesof the world aren't always that popular but, hopefully respected.
TDN: Did you have a nickname growing up?
TP: When I was in college, everyone called me Fletch. A lot ofguys called me that.
TDN: If there's a movie made about your life and you can pickthe guy to play you, who are you picking?
TP: Oooh. That's a good one. Paul Newman. Seems like a coolguy. I think our generation thought that.
TDN: You must have loved "The Sting."
TP: Classic.
TDN: If you could have dinner with three people, living ordead, who would they be?
TP: John Wooden, Richard Pryor and, for my daughter (Hannah),
Ruth Bader Ginsburg. I was a huge Richard Pryor fan when I wasa teenager. All his movies, standupYeverything. I don't know
how this would go. Maybe Richard and I will hang around forafter dinner drinks.
TDN: I know you're a Dallas Cowboys fan. Big?
TP: Yup. I was born in Dallas, grew up in Texas and, probably as a6- or 7-year-old, I thought because I was born in Dallas, thatmeant I was obligated to support them. Growing up in Texas,
Dallas was on TV every Sunday, unless they played on Monday
night or Thanksgiving Day. I remember as a little kid my mom
would make me go to church and I would miss the first 10 or 15
minutes of the game. That was not a good thing. From first
grade to when I graduated high school, I seriously doubt I missed
more than a game or two.

TDN: Do you still try to catch all their games now?
TP: It's easier now. Back then, you had four channels.
TDN: But there is thing called horse racing that happens on
Sunday afternoons.
TP: Yes. Growing up in the 70s, it was awesome. I got the Roger
Staubach days and the Drew Pearson days. In the 90s, when
they were good, I was had just starting training, so I did not get
to watch nearly as many of those games. When my kids
(Hannah, Kyle and Payton) were born, they missed all thoseteams. They are Cowboy fans, but they missed the 70s, the 90s.
They have seen like three playoff games in 25 years. Every once
in in a while they get a little upset with me because I made theminto Cowboy fans.
TDN: I talked to you before and you said that Scooby-Doo is
your favorite cartoon when growing up.
TP: Yup. It's still good.
TDN: OK. Who is Shaggy and who is Scooby-Do between you
and your owner, Mike Repole?
TP: (laughs) Oh, man. I have to make Repole Shaggy.
TDN: Describe Mike Repole in fewer words that he would
describe you.
TP: He is a very complex guy. I think a lot of what you see is thereal Mike Repole. He is a very thoughtful guy, a very charitableguy, a very philanthropic person. I consider myself to be a fairly
busy person in terms of the amount of responsibility I have, thejob I have, the amount of time it takes. I could not imagine being
Mike Repole for a week. He has got so many things going on andhe'll know everything going on with every single one of his
horses. And he is doing 30 other things and taking care of 10
other people who maybe have a medical issue or things likethat. He does so much for so many people that a lot of people
don't know about.
TDN: Most satisfying win and most heartbreaking loss.
TP: I have always said, and I don't think it will change, Rags toRiches' Belmont win (2007). It was my most satisfying for anumber of reasons. It was my first Classic, a filly beating thecolts, the excitement of the race and the way it unfolded.
Everything about it was literally experiencing everything in horse
racing in less than two and a half minutes. The disappointmentof the stumble, then thinking you are going to win, and thenthinking Curlin is going to come back and you're going to lose by
a nose, and you ultimately win by a head. It encompassed
everything that is great about the thrill of the sport. There havebeen a lot of tough beats. I think we have been second in the
Belmont nine times.

TUESDAY • JULY 23, 2024

TDN HEADLINE NEWS • PAGE 6 OF 13 • THETDN.COM

TDN: You think Rags to Riches should be in the Hall of Fame.
TP: I think I might be disappointed about that more thananything. I don't understand it because, to me, getting inducted
into the Hall of Fame means you have accomplished somethingthat very few others have. She is the only filly to win the
Belmont in, what are we at now, 110 years? [119. Tanya was thelast to do it in 1905]. That puts her in an elite category. The
detractors say she didn't make enough starts (seven, five wins,
one second). Justify (who is being inducted this year) had atremendous career (six starts, six wins) but it only lasted four offive months. It seems a bit unfair. I always thought she deserved
to be in there. Hopefully, the voters will see it that way one day.
TDN: You have five empty stalls, and you can put five horses
from history in there, but none of your own. Who are they?
TP: When I was in California with my dad's good friend Henry
Moreno, who I spent a couple summers working for, told me
Swaps was the best horse he had ever seen. I would probably
say him. My dad was training at Santa Anita the winter ofSpectacular Bid's 4-year-old season and he always said he wasone of the best horses he had ever seen. Flightline was astalented as any horse we have seen in a while. Rachel
Alexandra. I think her Kentucky Oaks was arguably as good as ahorse has ever run. I'll go with Seattle Slew because Angel (HallTUESDAY • JULY 23, 2024

of Fame rider Cordero) said he was the best horse he had everridden.
TDN: No Secretariat.
TP: You can't put him on the AE (laughs). From a historicalperspective, it's too hard to narrow it down to five. I'm goodwith those five.

TDN: You did a TDN Podcast--the Writers' Room with Randy
Moss and Zoe Cadman--last week and now this. You are going
to be Mr. TDN. Might have to get you on the staff.
TP: It's a good thing. I love the TDN. I've read it every day for a
lot of years. It's good for the industry.
TDN: If you could have a superpower, what would it be?
TP: X-ray vision. It would come in handy in today's training world(laughs).
TDN: Do you cook?
TP: No. I occasionally tend to the grill but I'm not very good at it.
TDN: (Wife) Tracy does the cooking?
TP: Tracy does the cooking.
TDN: With all the owners in town, how much sleep do you get
a night?
TP: With the extension of the meet, it has changed the dynamics
of it a little bit. I have kind of scaled back on the number of
events we go to. The schedule is so demanding that you have topick and choose your spots and pace yourself. We eat at home a
lot and try to have early dinners when we do. Depending on thepost times you have, sometimes it's possible, sometimes it's not.

TUESDAY • JULY 23, 2024

TDN: What time are you at the barn in the morning?
TP: Four. The other day we were in early races, so I was here
from 4 to 5:30 (p.m.). On the weekends, it's later than that. I likebeing here early. I like a little bit of quiet time before we getgoing so I can look over some condition books.
TDN: What time do you get up?
TP: 3:30 (a.m.).
TDN: What time do you go to bed?
TP: Eight (p.m.). There are certain times of the year where it's
less busy. But we still start early. During the winter I might get tothe barn at 4:30 (a.m.).
TDN: It would be unfair to ask you who is your favorite horse
you have trained, right?
TP: There are certainly horses you have had that you enjoy
training more than others. I have always said the two horsesthat helped my career get going the most were Jersey Girl andMore Than Ready. Because of that, they will always be two of
my favorites. Jersey Girl was my first Grade I winner.
TDN: Watch much TV?
TP: I find myself watching more Netflix and those kinds ofthings. It's a different world now. Kids now don't watch TV theway we did when we were kids.

If you lived in El Paso, Texas, you were at home on Tuesdaynights watching "Happy Days" at 7 (p.m.) and you were done forthe week. Now, with the exception of watching a live sporting
event, you can watch things whenever you want. Binge watch
twenty episodes if you want.
TDN: Were you a "Happy Days" guy?
TP: I think everyone was at my age. You watched "Happy Days"and "Laverne & Shirley" back-to-back.
TDN: Wayne Lukas, who you worked for before going out on
your own, is a Hall of Fame trainer, one of the giants of thegame. What do you think of when you hear his name?
TP: He's a legend. I have always said that he is probably themost resilient person I have ever met. The longevity is such asmall part of the story. If you look back at the 1980s, to me, he is
the only trainer I can think of who has really revolutionizedtraining. He totally changed the trainer game. Guys like Steve(Asmussen) have taken it to a different level. It was Wayne's
blueprint that laid it out for a bunch of us.
TDN: Baseball players have walk-up songs when they come tobat. What would be your walk-up song bringing a horse onto

Special Me's Fairytale Keeps Getting Better(cont. from p1)

Click here for our visit with Special Me and her Flightline foal
Sara Gordon

Gina Romantica was Special Me's first seven-figure yearlingwhen she brought $1.025 million in 2020 and two years later,
she became her dam's second Grade I winner when she scoredin the GI Queen Elizabeth II Challenge Cup Stakes. The Chad
Brown-trained, Peter Brant-campaigned filly returned toKeeneland the next season with a win in the GI First Lady Stakes,
posting an 11-1 upset.
Brogden was on hand for both of those wins at her home track
and she remembers them as two of her favorite days in the
sport.
ASheer joy,@ the horsewoman described. AJust irreplaceable
joy. It's the greatest thing about horse racing, which we do not
get across enough. Everyone that has owned a racehorse andhas won a race understands what I'm talking about. I wish I
could bottle that feeling and give it to somebody because it's
euphoric. And she's done it twice now.@
Gina Romantica ran a big number in last year's GI Breeders'
Cup Mile, finishing in fourth less than two lengths behind winner
Master of The Seas (Ire) (Dubawi {Ire}). She was having a
relatively quiet 5-year-old season this year with two unplaced
starts at the Grade I level, but she recently put in a big
performance in the GI Diana Stakes, closing late to just misssecond by a nose. Chad Brown has said he is considering the
GI Fourstardave Handicap on Aug. 10 for her next start.

TDN HEADLINE NEWS • PAGE 9 OF 13 • THETDN.COM

Meanwhile Special Me had a few quiet years herself after
producing Gina Romantica. In 2020, she aborted a Quality Road
colt at six months. It was the only year she hasn't produced afoal in her 15 breeding seasons. The next year she had a Curlin
filly who tragically died in a paddock accident.
The mare returned to making headlines with her next foal, acolt by Into Mischief who made history for his breeder when hesold to Coolmore for $1.2 million at the Keeneland September
Sale last year.
AWe have owned parts of several 2-year-olds who sold formore and we've consigned some higher-priced yearlings, but I
think for our farm, $1.2 million is the highest-priced yearling [wehave bred],@ Brogden said.

Twirling Candy--Special Me filly heading to
Keeneland September | Sara Gordon
Now named Jousting, the 2-year-old colt has been exported to
Ireland and has yet to make his debut.
Special Me has another yearling pointing to the Keeneland
September Sale and Brogden has hopes that the filly could
perhaps out-do her older brother. The full-sister to Gift Box is bya sire that Brogden has supported enthusiastically over theyears.
AWe've had really, really good luck with Twirling Candy,@ she
said. AWe've had a lot of graded stakes horses that we've soldlike Sweetontheladies, obviously we had Gift Box, Trophy
Chaser. This filly definitely has some traits of Twirling Candy andshe definitely has some traits of Unbridled's Song. She's easy
peasy to be around. Straightforward and a great mind. She's abig, strong filly and she's correct. The mare always throws
correct, never had a crooked horse no matter who we breed her
to.@Brogden always gets a little anxious when it comes time forSpecial Me to foal each spring and this year was no exception.
She told her husband Craig, who heads up the mare and foal

TUESDAY • JULY 23, 2024

division, not to tell her when Special Me was showing signs of
foaling. Around 2:30am on April 7, she got the text she washoping for: It's a filly.
From the first-crop of Horse of the Year Flightline, Special Me's
latest foal is everything Brogden was hoping for and more.
AIf I had imagined the best case scenario of what we could
have possibly gotten from this mare, it would be what this filly istimes two,@ Brogden reported. AI cannot believe it. In my mind,
she's kind of irreplaceable. Stonetastic was also a 10 physical,
which is why she sold for $77,000 as a daughter of Mizzen Mast
all those years ago before the mare was a producer. That's how
good of a physical she was and this filly rivals her.@AShe's really saucy,@ Brogden continued. AI don't know if it's
because the guys are afraid of her because she's worth so muchmoney, but both her and [the yearling] are going to be hard tosell because mama is 18 now and at some point we know it'll beretirement for her. But the good thing is, no matter what Special
Me looks like physically, her uterus is in great shape.@
Special Me was bred back to Into Mischief this spring and has
checked in foal. Aside from arthritic knees that Brogden says aremanageable and are a result of her underdevelopment as apremature foal all those years ago, the broodmare continues tothrive and does especially well when there is a foal at her side.
AShe just loves her foals so much,@ Brogden reflected. AI think
she must give something to her foals like some tenaciousness or
toughness. There is a reason that they've been so sound andsuccessful. I can't predict the genetics, but obviously there's
something special going on.@The Brogdens do have a granddaughter of their superstar
mare at Machmer Hall. They purchased Stonetonic, an unraced
daughter of Stonetastic by Candy Ride, for $400,000 at the 2022
Keeneland November Sale. She now has a yearling filly by
Yaupon and a colt at her side by Flightline.

Special Me's Flightline filly | Sara Gordon

TDN HEADLINE NEWS • PAGE 10 OF 13 • THETDN.COM

Other than Stonetonic, the Brogdens do not have any othermembers of Special Me's family, so the idea of keeping one ofher latest fillies is tempting.
AThe biggest question I've had asked on a regular basis with
the Twirling Candy is if I'm selling her,@ said Brogden.
Brogden continued, AWe're not going to go up there and giveher away, but at some point with being commercial breeders itgets to a point where yes, we are sellers. It's hard for us to keep
filles because they are so valuable. We are getting back into
having a bigger racing program, but our racing program isbasically for horses that, for whatever reason, we couldn't sell.@
Fortunately--or perhaps unfortunately depending on how
Brogden is looking at it--the Twirling Candy filly had x-rays thisspring that were Asqueaky clean with a grade one scope.@
While the results of Special Me's offspring in the sales ring
have been and continue to be imperative to Machmer Hall's
success, Brogden is even more proud of the ability andsoundness the mare's progeny have shown on the track rather
than their growing reputation for producing big-figure sales.
She fondly remembers how, when Gina Romantica waspreparing to sell as a yearling, a veterinarian was looking at her
X-rays and complimented what he found.
AI remember he came up to me and said that she had thecleanest, strongest bone he'd seen in a long time from a
yearling,@ she recalled. AClearly it meant something with her
because she went on to become a Grade I winner. I don't knowwhat the genetics are with this mare, but I know we're super
lucky to have her.@FLORIDA HORSEMAN MILTON HENDRY
PASSES AWAY
Longtime Florida horseman Milton S. Hendry passed away in
Crystal River, Florida June 27. He was 82. The native of Bay
Springs, Mississippi first became professionally involved withshow horses, reining horses and barrel racing. He later started

QUARTER HORSE JOCKEY TAPIA FINED $500
FOR PUNCHING FILLY by T.D. Thornton
Emilio Tapia, a Quarter Horse jockey at Ruidoso Downs, hasbeen fined $500 by that track's stewards for punching his mountafter the 2-year-old filly finished fifth in a maiden race.
A stewards' ruling dated July 21 stated that Tapia was Aacting
in an unprofessional manner when returning to the unsaddlingarea with his mount Famous Long Eagle following the second
race on July 14,@ and that his breach of conduct further included
Astriking horse in the belly with his fist in front of grandstand.@The chart caller's notes for the 400-yard sprint stated Ano
mishap@ for Famous Long Eagle, who went off at 3.8-1 odds.
Tapia had ridden the filly in two previous races.
Tapia has been licensed since 2012, according to Equibase. He

THE FACTOR COLT NAMED MHBA GRAND CHAMPION
FOR THE WEEK ENDING JULY 21, 2024
ACTIVE NORTH AMERICAN-BASED STALLIONSDavid and JoAnn Hayden's Dark Hollow Farm came away
victorious in three of the four classes at the 90th annual
Maryland Horse Breeders' Association's Yearling Show held
Sunday at the Maryland State Fairgrounds in Timonium.
Dark Hollow Farm's colt by The Factor, co-bred and owned
with Ellen Charles of Hillwood Stable was awarded the grandchampion trophy by this year's judge, longtime bloodstock agent
Rick Abbot.

VALHALLA GOLF CLUB HOSTS GRADED RUNNERS
Valhalla Golf Club, recent site of the 2024 PGA Championships,
will host a pair of retired graded stakes horses through theconclusion of this year's golf season. Hawaakom (Jazil), winnerof the 2018 GIII Razorback Handicap, and General A Rod(Roman Ruler), third in the 2014 GI Florida Derby, will reside in a
Valhalla-donated eight-acre area which features a traditional
wood plank fenced paddock and lighted Lexington-style run-in
shed. The two horses are sponsored by their prior connections,
Skychai Racing, Hot Pink Stables and MagnaWave, to beambassadors for the Second Stride equine adoption program.
The partnership between Valhalla and Second Stride began
when Randy Hoffacker, owner of Destination Design, wanted toincorporate Kentucky's signature industry into his redesign of
the Louisville golf club in 2022.

TUESDAY • JULY 23, 2024

AMy vision was for the property to epitomize Kentucky,@
Hoffacker said. ATo represent what makes our state the special
place it is geographically and culturally. Nothing epitomizes
Kentucky more than the horse industry. Once I learned about
Second Stride=s mission, it was clear Valhalla needed to be
involved.@
Valhalla owner Jimmy Kirchdorfer wholeheartedly believed in
the concept.
AWe wanted to give our members and guests an immediate
taste of the Commonwealth, and nothing says Kentucky morethan beautiful Thoroughbreds,@ Kirchdorfer said. AWe realigned
our entrance gate so that the first thing you see at the club is
the Valhalla Horse Farm.@

Valhalla Horse Farm | Gwen Davis/Davis Innovation
As the golf club sits on the former site of Kentucky Speaker ofthe House David Osborne=s family horse farm, the partnership is
not only a nod to its history, it is a look to the future, said
Second Stride founder Kim Smith.
AIt=s our hope that this exposure will inspire others to research
our program, engage with and support the aftercare industry,@
Smith said. AHaving two representatives of Second Stride onsite
also helps to showcase the racing industry=s commitment torehoming and the safe transition of retired horses when theirracing days are over.@Kirchdorfer added, AWe love having General A Rod andHawaakom. They add to the beauty of our property and bring asmile to the faces of our members and guests when they enterand exit the club. Our membership is proud to partner with
Second Stride and hopes that having General A Rod andHawaakom at Valhalla will bring additional exposure to Second
Stride and the great work they do with Thoroughbred
aftercare.@
The two horses will return to their Chorleywood Farm home in
the fall.

Off the board only twice in his career (once on debut and once

stretched out to the mile for the first time since that May 3
Grade I after dropping back to 6 1/2 furlongs in his three starts
since. The 7-2 third choice let three speedier rivals go ahead ofhim past the wire the first time and raced a solo fourth to lead

TDN NORTH AMERICAN • PAGE 2 OF 7 • THETDN.COM

the second flight into the backstretch. As the leading trio
opened up a sizeable gap through fractions of :22.16 and :45.04,
First Peace was content to sit just off the rail and was the first tojump as the speed began to trail off around the far turn. Up tolead past the quarter pole, he finished with a strong kick to keep
22-1 longshot Astronomer relegated to second.
"He got a perfect set up today,@ said winning trainer MarkGlatt. ANo doubt about it. It helps when three horses blast-off
away from you. They got away from him enough to where itprobably helped Mike (Smith) settle him back a little. That was
extremely impressive. I'm looking forward to what the futureholds for him going a little farther".

1/4 lengths back of the winner. A half to Sail By (Astern {Aus}),

SEVEN DAYS:AUGUSTE IN JULY?

AUGUSTE RODIN STARS AS 11 REMAIN FOR
KING GEORGE
Aidan O'Brien is responsible for five of the 11 possible runners
in Saturday's G1 King George VI And Queen Elizabeth Qipco
Stakes following Monday's confirmation stage, with AugusteRodin (Ire) set to lead the Ballydoyle team into battle at Ascot as
he tries to atone for his disappointing effort in thecorresponding race 12 months ago.
A four-time winner at the top level as a three-year-old when
landing the Derby, Irish Derby, Irish Champion Stakes andBreeders' Cup Turf, Auguste Rodin ran one of his lesser races
that season when sent off the 9-4 favourite for the King George,
ultimately finishing last of the 10 runners behind Hukum (Ire)(Sea The Stars {Ire}) on rain-softened ground.

Auguste Rodin returns to Ascot for the King George | Racingfotos.com

By Emma Berry
Seventy years ago, Queen Elizabeth II won the fourth runningof the race named in honour of her parents, the King George VI
and Queen Elizabeth Stakes, at her own racecourse, Ascot.
Aureole was a hugely appropriate winner, having been bred by
King George VI in 1950, two years prior to the monarch's death.
The horse's victory was widely welcomed, not least because hehad been beaten a year earlier by his conqueror in the Derby,
Pinza.
The 'King George' provides ones of the key pivot points in theseason, when the three-year-olds start to take on their elders.
What we want to see is the Derby winner go toe to toe with theprevious year's Arc winner, as was the case in 1953, when Pinza
went from glory at Epsom to a three-length win in the King
George, with Aureole second each time. The Aga Khan's 1952
Arc winner Nuccio (Ity) was behind them both at Ascot.
A subsequent tendon injury ahead of the St Leger curtailed
Pinza's career but the often hot-headed Aureole raced on, withhis wonderful four-year-old campaign including victories in theCoronation Cup, Hardwicke Stakes and then the King George.
The late Queen was said to be so delighted after the latter thatshe sent a case of champagne to the press room--a gesture
which really should have become a tradition among winningowners. Cont., p3

Seven Days, cont. from p1
And by golly, the roll call for the race - both human and equine- is a proper who's who of the turf over the last seven decades. I
feel pretty convinced in my opinion that I'll never see a better
winner than the horse who powered to glory in the 50th
anniversary year: Montjeu (Ire). But if any horse can match or
surpass him I will be happy for that opinion to be swayed.
What can we look forward to this Saturday? The potential
delight of last year's Derby winner Auguste Rodin (Ire) returning
triumphant at Ascot following his victory in the G1 Prince ofWales's Stakes to avenge for last year's mystifyingly bad
performance in the King George? Yep, we'd definitely settle forthat. But second-favourite is Charlie Appleby's world traveller
Rebel's Romance (Ire), a fellow winner of the Breeders' Cup
Turf. The only time this pair has met ended in triumph for the

Godolphin six-year-old and disaster for the Coolmore colt. Ding,
ding: round two.
And let's not overlook Bluestocking (GB), a granddaughter ofMontjeu who is two-for-two this year and from the red-hot Irish
Oaks-winning stable of Ralph Beckett. There have been someterrific female winners of the race, starting with Aunt Edith in1966 and continuing with Park Top, Dahlia (twice), Pawneese,Time Charter, Danedream, Taghrooda and Enable (thrice).
More than anything, though, the King George is perhaps mostrenowned for its epic tussles: Grundy and Bustino in 1975,
Galileo and Fantastic Light in 2001. We're surely due another,
but whatever happens let's just hope we're served up a field anda spectacle worthy of one of the-most valuable races in Britain.
We don't do tips in TDN but if I was asked to offer up a
long-shot, I'd side with Goliath (Ger), who comes into the race as
more of a David but has just the kind of steadily rising profile todeliver a Franco-German shock come Saturday afternoon - andwe've seen those before on several occasions.

Vintage Nathaniel
Goliath was second in the Hardwicke Stakes to Isle Of Jura(Ire), who has sadly been ruled out of his attempt to join that
elite band of horses who has won at Royal Ascot and gone on toglory in the King George. Cont.

Nathaniel=s jockey William Buick with the eponymous sparkling wine
Emma BerryOne who did just that after his King Edward VII Stakes victoryof 2011 was Nathaniel (Ire), who then returned to the King
George the following year to be denied by a nose by
Danedream. The Newsells Park Stud stallion is creeping now into
the territory of being a national treasure. He is also perhaps
unique in having a sparkling wine named after him by owner
Graham Smith-Bernal, who combines a love of thoroughbred
breeding and viticulture at his Hertfordshire farm.
Having started off his stud career at ,20,000 back in 2013 perfectly decent value for a horse of his achievements andbreeding - Nathaniel has never dropped to what one might callbargain level, but he has remained sensibly priced throughout
his career, with his lowest advertised fee having been ,15,000,
while this year he split the difference at ,17,500. For
owner-breeders of Classic pretensions (and, let's face it, thatshould be every breeder, even those with lemonade pockets)
Nathaniel really is a bit of a vintage tipple. The outstanding
Enable and Derby winner Desert Crown (GB) have now been
joined on this list of Group 1 winners by Saturday's Irish Oaks
winner You Got To Me (GB).

TUESDAY • 23 JULY 2024

The filly's victory meant that this was the third of four Irish
Classics trophies to have left the country in a horsebox boundfor Britain this year. Only Los Angeles (Ire) prevented a shut-out
for the home team, but he was chased home by the
British-trained duo of Sunway (Fr) and Ambiente Friendly (Ire).
Ireland did claw two back though, with the Epsom victories ofCity Of Troy and the now-retired Ezeliya (Fr).
You Got To Me also provided her rider Hector Crouch with adeserved first Classic success, while her co-breeder Mark
Tompkins joins that elite band of people who can boast of
having trained and bred a Classic winner. Tompkins, the former
owner of Dullingham Park Stud who retired from the training
ranks five years ago, won the 1993 St Leger with Bob's Return(Ire)
The team at Newsells Park Stud, who co-own You Got To Mewith Valmont, can also draw increasing encouragement fromthe start made by resident young stallion Without Parole (GB),
who was bred at the stud by John and Tanya Gunther and is ason of Nathaniel's old nemesis Frankel (GB).
To his five winners in Britain and Ireland can be added anotherin America. Without Caution, who won on debut at Saratoga last
week for John Gunther, is not only an exciting first winner inNorth America for Without Parole, one of the stars of theGunthers' breeding programme, but he emanates from thefamily of another. Without Caution's third dam is Voodoo Lily
(Baldski), who appears in the same place in the pedigree ofJustify, the Triple Crown winner bred at the Gunthers'
Glennwood Farm and now head of the roster at Coolmore's
Ashford Stud.

It's a Yah for Mo
However much you may never again want to hear the 1980s
pop song of the same name, it was good to see Yah Mo Be There(GB) become the first stakes winner for his sire Mohaather (GB)at Newbury on Friday.
The colt, trained by Richard Spencer for Phil Cunningham,continued an excellent year for Stuart McPhee, who co-bred Yah
Mo Be There with Nigel Kelly, and is also the sole breeder of thePoule d'Essai des Poulains winner Metropolitan (Fr) (Zarak {Fr}).
Yah Mo Be There was offered last year by the Rawding family's
Manor House Farm Stud, where he was born and raised, at theGoffs UK Premier Yearling Sale, fetching ,95,000.
The same consignor's sole entry at the same sale this year, lot137, was also bred by McPhee and is another Mohaather colt,out of the Listed-placed Tamadhor (Ire) (Arcano {Ire}) and ahalf-brother to eight-time winner Tawaazon (Ire) (Invincible
Spirit {Ire}).

A Winning Formula for Highclere
The combination of Highclere Thoroughbred Racing, George
Boughey and the Tattersalls Craven Breeze-up Sale has been apotent one in recent seasons. First came Cachet (Ire) (Aclaim{Ire}), the 60,000-guinea breezer who became a first Classic
winner for her trainer in the 1,000 Guineas of 2022. Into herplace has stepped Believing (Ire) (Mehmas {Ire}), who has been
ambitiously campaigned but stepped up another level again at
the weekend with victory in the G2 Sapphire Stakes. This was
her sixth win in 20 starts, and her fifth stakes success.
Believing was a little more expensive than Cachet, but not
ridiculously so, as Jake Warren paid 115,000gns for her from thedraft of Michael Fitzpatrick's Kilminfoyle House Stud.
It was a good weekend for Fitzpatrick's pinhooks, whether foal
to yearling, or yearling to breezer. He had bought Believing for
70,000gns from Book 2 of the Tattersalls October Sale, and atthat same sale a year later he sold, for 325,000gns, a colt byHavana Grey (GB) whom he had bought for 56,000gns as a foal.
Admittedly that was the year in which Havana Grey really
started motoring as a commercial prospect, but Fitzpatrick has
proved time and again how adept he is at judging young stock and turning a decent profit when trading them.
That Havana Grey colt now goes by the name of Elite Status(GB), who brought up a natty Kilminfoyle pinhooking double on
Saturday when winning the G3 Hackwood Stakes for Karl Burke.
The three-year-old has now won twice at Group 3 level alongwith two Listed victories.

Alice Procter
We send our very best wishes to Alice Procter, who remains in
intensive care in hospital in Lancashire as she begins her
recovery from a race fall at Cartmel on Saturday.
The 21-year-old amateur jockey is the daughter of Doug andLucy Procter of The Glanvilles Stud in Dorset, the birthplace of
the Grade 1-winning hurdlers Honeysuckle (GB) and Sam
Spinner (GB). Procter's elder brother Freddie also rides as anamateur and has won 37 races over jumps in America.
A statement released by the Injured Jockeys Fund (IJF) on
Monday read, "[Alice] is conscious and able to talk for shortperiods of time. The surgery to stabilise her thoracic spinal
fracture was successful, although there are indications of somedamage to the spinal cord.
"Alice will remain in hospital as plans are made for her
longer-term rehabilitation.
"The Procter family are very grateful for all the messages of
support from across the industry. However, they recognise that
this is likely to be a long journey and they kindly ask thatenquires are handled by the IJF."

King George, cont. from p1
This year began in similar fashion for the son of Deep Impact(Jpn) as he again failed to beat a rival in the G1 Dubai Sheema
Classic at Meydan in March, but he's got back on track on his lasttwo starts to cement his position as the red-hot favourite for
Saturday's feature contest. Runner-up to White Birch (GB)(Ulysses {Ire}) in the G1 Tattersalls Gold Cup at the Curragh in
May, he then underlined that the Ascot track holds no fears forhim when gaining the sixth Group 1 success of his career in the
Prince Of Wales's Stakes.
Auguste Rodin could be joined at Ascot by the stable's
four-time Group 1 winner Luxembourg (Ire) (Camelot {GB}), last
seen winning the Coronation Cup at Epsom, and last year's G1 St
Leger hero Continuous (Jpn) (Heart's Cry {Jpn}), who shaped as
if needing the run after nearly nine months off when finishing
fifth in the G2 Hardwicke Stakes at Royal Ascot. Point Lonsdale(Ire) (Australia {GB}, third in last month's G1 Grand Prix deSaint-Cloud, and Hans Andersen (GB) (Frankel {GB}) complete
the Ballydoyle contingent.
Grand Prix de Saint-Cloud scorer Dubai Honour (Ire) (Pride Of
Dubai {Aus}) is one of four other Group 1 winners in thepotential line-up, along with Charlie Appleby's Rebel's Romance(Ire) (Dubawi {Ire})--already successful at the top level five times
in four different countries--last month's Pretty Polly Stakes
heroine Bluestocking (GB) (Camelot {GB}) and thethree-year-old Sunway (Fr) (Galiway {GB}), who won the
Criterium International as a juvenile and was last seen filling therunner-up spot in the Irish Derby. Cont.

The gelding won both his starts in bumpers during the latest
season for Nicholls and in the familiar colours of Chris Giles, whooffered 11 lots through Mill House Stud at Doncaster following
his departure from the sport. That dispersal sold for a total of,1.9-million with Nicholls and Malone securing eight of the lots
for new owners.
That pair also notably struck for lot 65, Graded-winner Rubaud(Fr) (Air Chief Marshal {Ire}) for ,200,000, and partnered with
Dave Staddon to secure Grade 1-winning Stay Away Fay (Ire)(Shantou) (lot 72) for ,325,000. French Grade 1-winner July
Flower (Fr) (Pastorius {Ger}) (lot 96) changed hands to Henry De
Bromhead for ,350,000.
Of the 188 offered lots, 134 sold for a 71 per cent clearance
rate, which is down 9 per cent from 2023 where 125 were
offered and 100 sold. The turnover surged to ,3,643,000 in
2024 from ,1,135,000 in 2023. The average and median prices
also rose with the former tallying ,27,187 and the latter ,9,000;
up from ,11,356 and ,5,000, respectively, from last year.
AWhat an incredible day in Doncaster and we must start bythanking Chris Giles for entrusting Goffs to handle such aprestigious dispersal of quality horses," said Goffs UK managing
director Tim Kent.
"It has been a pleasure to work for Chris and we hope to see
his colours back in the winners= enclosure in the not-too-distantfuture. It has also been a pleasure to work with Juliet Minton
and the Mill House Stud team, who did such a fantastic job ofpresenting the horses for sale."

Al Asayl=s homebred Map Of Stars notched a one-length tally
going nine furlongs at ParisLongchamp last October, his only
prior start, and stepped forward to justify favouritism with acareer high on seasonal return here. The 11-10 chalk was
positioned in a handy third until inching into second at halfway.
Coming under pressure with 500 metres remaining, he wasridden to the fore entering the final furlong and ran on strongly
in the latter stages to defeat Cambaceres by an ultimately
comfortable two lengths.

winner over course and distance last time, broke smartly to leadfrom flagfall and held sway throughout this return. Shaken up
with 300 metres remaining, the 1-2 favourite was safely clear
entering the final furlong and kept on strongly under minimal
urging to easily outpoint Aloysius (Fr) (Hello Youmzain {Fr}) by 2
1/2 lengths. Houquetot is the second of four foals and lonescorer produced by G3 Athasi Stakes victrix Happen (War Front),
herself out of G1 Oaks, G1 Irish Oaks and G1 Yorkshire Oaks
