SHOWTIME IN THEBELMONT DERBY
>TDN Rising Star= and GI Breeders= Cup Juvenile Turf hero
Oscar Performance (Kitten=s Joy) took his usual spot on the front
end and wasn=t for catching in Saturday=s GI Belmont Derby
Invitational. European raiders Called To The Bar (Ire)
(Henrythenavigator) and Homesman (War Front) were second
and third, respectively. Favored Yoshida (Jpn) (Hearts Cry {Jpn}),
an eye-catching winner of Pimlico=s James W. Murphy May 20,
was a disappointing fifth.
AWhen he inched away from them in the lane, I could see they
were all throwing leather behind him,@ winning trainer Brian
Lynch said. AI thought he was going to be tough to catch from
there. He proved he can get the mile and a quarter and I think
he beat a quality field of horses today.@
Opening his sophomore account with a disappointing fifth as
the 3-5 chalk in the GIII Transylvania S. Apr. 7 at Keeneland, the
Amerman Racing homebred faded badly when put on Lasix for
the first time in the GII American Turf S. May 6 at Churchill.
Bouncing back without the raceday medication with a
wire-to-wire tally in the GIII Pennine Ridge S. here last out June
3, Oscar Performance was made an 11-2 proposition in this
return to Grade I competition.
Away from the stalls slowly, Oscar Performance shot through
on the inside to vy with Big Score (Mr. Big) through an opening
quarter in :23.96. He gained a narrow advantage entering the
clubhouse turn and glided through a half mile in :49.48. Cont. p3
CHAD BROWN >MONEY= IN BELMONT OAKS Trainer Chad Brown continued his domination in the GI
Belmont Oaks Invitational, saddling his fifth winner in six years
courtesy of 2016 GI Breeders= Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf heroine
New Money Honey (Medaglia d=Oro), who led home a one-two-
three finish for the barn Saturday. Sistercharlie (Ire)
(Myboycharlie {Ire}), favored at 8-5 following a runner-up finish
in the G1 Prix de Diane June 18, rallied from last of 11 to come
within a neck of the winner. It was another 1 3/4 lengths back to
Uni (GB) (More Than Ready) in third. New Money Honey is
campaigned by Bob Edwards=s fledgling e Five Racing
Thoroughbreds.
"They all ran terrific,@ Brown said. AObviously, [New Money
Honey] ran terrific, got position early, and they were moving
along pretty good. Javier [Castellano] just backed off a little bit
and had first run.@ Cont. p4

Oscar Performance heads to the winner=s circle | Sarah Andrew
Belmont Derby cont.
Inching away on the far turn after six furlongs in an easy
1:14.37, Oscar Performance was set down by Jose Ortiz at the
top of the lane, scampered clear past the three-sixteenths pole
and kept on finding more.
"When he broke a tad slow and [Jose Ortiz] urged him a little
bit to run up there and I saw the :23 and change, I thought, I
hope it doesn't turn into one of these sort of deals,@ Lynch said.
AWhen the :49 and change came up, I started to grin a little bit
and, when I saw the 1:14 and change come up, I broke into a big
smile. We'll take a deep breath here and talk with the
Amermans and see where we go from here. He's obviously
turned his spring form around and he's on the right track. At this
stage, we'll just enjoy that."
Pedigree Notes:
Oscar Performance=s dam Devine Actress, bred in Kentucky by
Hopewell Farm and Mr. and Mrs. Robert Lail, RNA=d for $75,000
as a KEESEP yearling. She captured the 2010 Santa Lucia H.
during her brief campaign for Amerman Racing and trainer
David Hofmans. The winner has a year-older full-brother named
Oscar Nominated, who their sire=s owners Ken and Sarah
Ramsey campaigned to victories in the 2016 GIII Spiral S. and
Dueling Grounds Derby. Devine Actress is also responsible for
the 2-year-old filly Emmy Performance (Point of Entry) and a
yearling colt by Ghostzapper. She was bred back to Flatter, but
failed to get in foal.

Belmont Oaks cont. from p1
AMy other two horses were two first-time Euros, they broke a
little slow and were pretty far back,@ Brown said. ABoth of them
ran terrific, they look like they're going to have outstanding
careers as well. I haven't really planned beyond this race,
actually, they'll probably all go in different directions."
A dull sixth in the GIII Appalachian S. Apr. 13 at Keeneland to
start her 3-year-old campaign, last term=s GIII Miss Grillo S.
heroine got back on track with a wire-to-wire score after setting
easy early fractions in the local GIII Wonder Again S. June 8.
Backed as the second choice in this first try at 1 1/4 miles, the
bay sat a perfect trip just behind the leaders tracking from
fourth behind honest fractions of :23.50, :47.54 and 1:11.38.
Moving to challenge three-deep at the five-sixteenths pole as
Sistercharlie tried to wind up from last, New Money Honey
overtook Grizzel (Ire) (Kodiac {GB}) at the eighth pole and went
clear before staving off the fast-closing favorite.
"I'm very lucky to ride for Mr. Brown and the opportunity he
gave me to ride the filly," Castellano said. "We've been really
lucky except for the last couple of races with the filly. I think she
is very straight-forward and today she broke well out of the gate
and got a good spot in the race. Chad and I talked about our
strategy before the race and I tried to follow procedure. It
worked out great. It was a beautiful spot in the beginning of the
race. When it was time to go, she responded and finished really
well."

Keen Ice=s last victory was a major upset when running down
Triple Crown winner American Pharoah (Pioneerof the Nile) late
in the 2015 GI Travers S., which was the only loss of that three-
time Eclipse winner=s sophomore campaign. The hulking bay
shocked New York racing fans again Saturday scoring his first
victory since the Travers with another late-running upset, this
time besting heavily favored Shaman Ghost in the Suburban.
Away well from his rail draw, Keen Ice settled at the back of
the quintet as Matt King Coal (Cool Coal Man) took up his
preferred position at the head of affairs and was kept honest by
Shaman Ghost through early fractions of :25.28 and :50.01.
Picking it up a bit as three-quarters went up in 1:13.91, Matt
King Coal was confronted by Shaman Ghost on the far turn and
gave in to that rival in early stretch just as Keen Ice was ranging
up menacingly in the center of the track. Cont. p7

Shaman Ghost began to kick clear, but Keen Ice was just
finding his best stride and charged clear late for a surprising
victory.
"That was a great effort, he really ran a huge race,@ winning
trainer Todd Pletcher said. AComing into it, we were a bit
concerned with the lack of pace on paper. We thought he might
have to be a little bit more forwardly placed and Jose [Ortiz]
gave him a great ride and was able to position him towards to
the rail. We'll see how he comes out of this, but the [GI] Jockey
Club Gold Cup [Oct. 7] would most likely be his next step."
After failing to hit the board in five attempts at the highest
level following his 2015 Travers victory, Keen Ice was
transferred from Dale Romans to Pletcher after the 2016
G1 Dubai World Cup and was subsequently sidelined with an
injury. Debuting for Pletcher in a Belmont optional claimer in
October, the bay checked in third that day and went on to the
GI Breeders= Cup Classic, where he completed the trifecta
behind superstar champion Arrogate (Unbridled=s Song) and
reigning Horse of the Year California Chrome (Lucky Pulpit).
Runner-up to stablemate Stanford (Malibu Moon) in
Gulfstream=s GIII Harlan=s Holiday S. in December, Keen Ice
checked in fourth behind Arrogate and Shaman Ghost in the
$12 million GI Pegasus World Cup Invitational S. Jan. 28 and was
last seen finishing seventh to Arrogate in the Dubai World Cup
Mar. 25.
Pedigree Notes:
Keen Ice is the first and only foal out of Medomak, a half-sister
to Grade III winner Coal Play (Mineshaft). The winner traces his
lineage back to MGISW Verrazano; GISWs Chic Shirine, Somali
Lemonade and Serra Lake; and MGSW Hungry Island.

Practical Joke, a respectable fifth in the GI Kentucky Derby last
time, made it a perfect four-for-four in races around one turn
with this impressive tally.
Last year=s GI Hopeful S. and GI Champagne S. winner was
knocked down late to 3-5 favoritism and settled in fourth, about
four lengths behind >TDN Rising Star= Battalion Runner through
moderate splits of :23.12 and :47.15. Advancing menacingly up
the inside nearing the turn for home, he was stymied in traffic
until mid-stretch, but finished full of run once finding clear
sailing in the middle of the track, taking over at the sixteenth
pole and kicking clear to win as much the best.
"The pace wasn't that strong,@ winning trainer Chad Brown
said. AOn top of that, the horse was giving six to eight pounds to
every horse in the race. He really ran well today. I certainly think
it's the best race he's ever won."
Jockey Joel Rosario added, AI had a good trip. There weren't a
lot of horses in the race, so I stayed inside for a bit. It looked like
[Battalion Runner] was probably going to go, so I just kept an
eye on him. [Practical Joke] ran a big race today. He was the best
horse in the race. He looked good and finished really strongly.
That's what we were hoping for."
Third in the GI Breeders= Cup Juvenile at Santa Anita Nov. 5,
Practical Joke completed the exacta in both the GII Xpressbet
Fountain of Youth S. at Gulfstream Mar. 4 and GII Toyota Blue
Grass S. at Keeneland Apr. 8.
Pedigree Notes:
Practical Joke was the fourth most-expensive yearling by Into
Mischief from 85 to sell in 2015 when offered at the Keeneland
September Sale. The stakes-placed Halo Humor, a half-sister to
Louisiana Futurity S. winner Cubera (Cape Canaveral), did not
produce foals in 2015 or 2016 and was covered last year by
Shanghai Bobby and Overanalyze. Halo Humor brought
$130,000 from Whispering Oaks Farm at the 2008 KEEJAN sale.

Mind Your Biscuits | Sarah Andrew
Switched from the Robert Falcone, Jr. barn after that, Mind
Your Biscuits came within a neck of running down the
reopposing >TDN Rising Star= Unified (Candy Ride {Arg}) in his
Dubai prep in the GIII Gulfstream Park Sprint S. Feb. 25.
Favored in the wagering here, Mind Your Biscuits set up shop
in fourth behind a :22.67 quarter. Dropping back a bit down the
backside, the chestnut was given a reminder by Joel Rosario and
rolled into contention passing the three-eighths pole. Sweeping
to the fore three-deep at the head of the lane, he was briefly
challenged by Awesome Slew outside the eighth pole, but
quickly turned that foe back with a shake of the reins to win in
style going away.
"We know how good he was training going into this,@ winning
trainer Chad Summers said. AThere were still some doubters
who said it was a subpar Dubai. We didn't think so. We know
what he's capable of and we're ready for the rest of the year. It
makes me think a mile won't be a problem for him, maybe a
little bit further. He kept going and going and kicked away.
Summers added, "We'll go to the [GI] Forego [Aug. 26 at
Saratoga] right now and then look at all options. But the Forego
is our next goal and hopefully [win] an Eclipse Award as well.@

Skye Diamonds | Benoit Photo
Dangled for the aforementioned tag after a disappointing sixth
in the California-bred Evening Jewel S. last spring, the chestnut
was plucked from Donald Dizney and Mike Machowsky in an
Aug. 27 victory at Del Mar and repeated in a $50,000 claimer
Oct. 22. After running second in a Santa Anita optional claimer
Nov. 6, she reeled off three straight victories, including an initial
stakes tally in the state-bred Dream of Summer S. Mar. 26 in
Arcadia, before running a close second in the GIII Adoration S.
last out there May 7.
Taking good support to be second choice behind defending
champion Finest City (City Zip) in this Saturday feature, Skye
Diamonds came away well and tracked the speed of GI La Brea
S. heroine and >TDN Rising Star= Constellation (Bellamy Road)
from the rail in third past a :22.26 quarter. Winding up three-
deep as the top four bunched up approaching the top of the
lane, the chestnut reeled in the pacesetter at the sixteenth pole
and kicked away late to pick up her first graded success. Finest
City loomed large at the top of the lane, but never quickened,
flattening out to be third.
AShe was a 3-year-old and she was a trier was why we decided
to claim her,@ said winning trainer Bill Spawr. AWe had been
watching her a little bit before we claimed her and it has
definitely worked out. I could have never imagined this when we
first claimed her. We started working her on the training track
[at Santa Anita] and she loved it. She started running the last
quarter in, believe me, :22 and change, not :23 or :24. That=s
when we kind of knew this was a good filly.@
Pedigree Notes:
The winner=s second dam, MSP Ladies Night In, is a half-sister
to Australian MG1SW He=s No Pie Eater (Aus) (Canny Lad {Aus}).
Skye Diamonds has a juvenile half-sister by Tribal Rule named
Exonerated Rule and a yearling half-brother by Lucky Pulpit. Her
dam was bred to Heatseeker (Ire) last spring.

It Tiz Well | Hoofprints Inc
It Tiz Well won by an impressive 10 lengths at Los Alamitos
Deb. 18 to earn >TDN Rising Star= status before finishing runner-
up behind titan and >TDN Rising Star= Unique Bella (Tapit) in the
GII Santa Ynez S. at Santa Anita Jan. 8. She reeled off a pair of
victories beginning with a Feb. 3 $75,000 optional claimer in
Arcadia and followed by the GIII Honeybee S. at Oaklawn Mar.
11. A distant third behind >TDN Rising Star= Paradise Woods
(Union Rags) and subsequent GI Kentucky Oaks heroine Abel
Tasman (Quality Road) in the Apr. 8 GI Santa Anita Oaks, the
dark bay crossed the wire fifth, but was promoted to fourth
after a roughly run trip in the GII Summertime Oaks June 17.
Favored to regain the winning thread this time, It Tiz Well broke
alertly as Proud and Fearless--to her immediate outside--came
in on her a hair and rushed up to take control. In front through
an opening quarter in :24.28, It Tiz Well settled in a nice stalking
position and inched closer to that rival as she carved out a half in
:48.22. Breathing down Proud and Fearless= neck turning for
home, It Tiz Well powered through as GII Black-Eyed Susan S.
winner Actress mounted her challenge on the outside, but
proved too good, repelling both of those fillies to collect the
victory.
AShe broke sharp and to be honest, she put us in a perfect
spot, just off the lead,@ said winning rider Drayden Van Dyke.
AMy horse was nice and relaxed the whole way and she kicked
home very well.@
Pedigree Notes:
It Tiz Well is by Arch, responsible for a trio of champions
including GI Breeders Cup Classic hero Blame in addition to
Canadian Horse of the Year Arravale. The dam of four registered
offspring to date, dual stakes winner It Tiz is also responsible for
a filly by Ghostzapper, who realized $230,000 at the Keeneland
September Yearling sale in 2015; and a yearling filly by Scat

Iron Fist, a multiple stakes winner in the central time zone this
spring, broke through with his first graded score in the GIII
Prairie Meadows Cornhusker H. Saturday night.
A $1.55-million yearling buy, the gray narrowly missed in the
GIII Ack Ack S. last fall at Churchill before running sixth in the GII
Hagyard Fayette S. Oct. 29 at Keeneland and closing his 4-year-
old account with an allowance/optional claiming win Nov. 27 at
Churchill. Capturing the Maxxam Gold Cup S. in his second start
of this season, he was third in both the GII New Orleans H. and
GIII Steve Sexton Mile before tallying in the sloppy-track
Evangeline Mile S. last out June 3.
Off as the distant third-choice in this meet feature, Iron Fist
came away well and set up shop in second, stalking the pace of
American Dubai from second through splits of :23.49 and :47.38.

Creeping closer approaching the three-furlong marker, he
stuck his nose in front on the latter half of the turn and kicked
away into the final furlong. Texas Chrome produced a strong
late bid in the center of the track, but Iron Fist remained clear
down to the line to give trainer Steve Asmussen a sweep of the
four stakes races contested Friday and Saturday in Iowa (Hence

Pure Sensation, hero of last year=s Parx Dash, but winless in
two starts this season after an aborted trip to Hong Kong,
parlayed a sweet stalk-and-pounce trip into a dominant repeat
in the Bensalem feature, reestablishing himself as a force in the
turf sprint division.
Following up an 18-1 upset of the GIII Jaipur S. with his Parx
heroics last summer, the gray made it three in a row in the
Belmont Turf Sprint S. Oct. 8 at Belmont before finishing third in
the GI Breeders= Cup Turf Sprint Nov. 5. Shipped for a try in the
G1 Longines Hong Kong Sprint, the gelding had to scratch after
coming up lame in both his left rear and left fore in the days
leading up to the race. Finishing an uncharacteristically dull
fourth in the GIII Churchill Downs Turf Sprint S. to start his 6-
year-old campaign May 5, he set the pace before finishing
fourth to stablemate Disco Partner (Disco Rico) in that one=s
record-setting Jaipur score last out June 10.
Taking all the play to be the clear choice here, Pure Sensation
came away well and stalked the speed of Bold Thunder through
a :22.72 quarter. Drawing on even terms with that one nearing
the straightaway, he took control powerfully despite not
cornering all that well, and spurted clear entering the final
furlong before pouring it on from there to defend his title in
style. Mongolian Saturday, winner of the 2015 GI Breeders= Cup
Turf Sprint, ran on late at the fence to nail the pacesetter for
second money in the final jump.
Pedigree Notes:
Pure Sensation=s dam was a seven-time stakes winner in New
Jersey in her owner=s familiar teal and pink polka-dotted silks,
and was named the Garden State=s champion handicap female
in 2007. She is a full-sister to New York-based MSP Captain
Gaughen. Third dam Pure Fire was a SW as well. Pure Disco has
an unraced juvenile filly named Pure One and a yearling filly by
Street Sense. She was bred to Bodemeister last term. Consigned by GAINESWAY

Guilty Twelve, who kicked off her career in Europe under the
care of Roger Varian, hit the board in one of only a trio of starts
at three, and that was on the synthetic at Wolverhampton. Sent
to join trainer Graham Motion=s U.S. string for the 2016 session,
she won at second asking--over the Presque Isle synthetic--
before finishing second going 11 panels at the allowance level
last June. A come-from-behind winner at odds of 12-1 in a 9 1/2-
furlong Spa allowance in July, she wouldn=t see racing action
again until the Kentucky Downs Ladies Marathon in September,
when she finished fifth. Given the remainder of the season off,
she returned in 2017 to eke out a narrow nose victory going 10
furlongs against allowance foes at Belmont May 19.
Given a 10-1 chance to collect her first win at the graded level,
Guilty Twelve broke evenly and took up her customary place at
the back of the field. With the leading pair of Bishop=s Pond
(Curlin) tracked by Zipessa were allowed to saunter along
through sedate opening fractions, Guilty Twelve was content to
sit chilly as things got tight for Happyness (GB) (Verglas {Ire}),
who was in the flight directly in front of her. Clear of the
incident and ready to make a move while three paths out as
Zipessa gained control in front, Guilty Twelve swung out four
wide--flanked by the fast-moving Gone Away--turning for home,
made steady progress through the lane and got her head down
to nip favored Zipessa at the wire.
Pedigree Notes:
Guilty Twelve=s pedigree reads like a who=s who of racing. By
European Horse of the Year and Coolmore=s leading stallion
Giant=s Causeway, the 5-year-old mare is out of the Group 3-
placed Arkadina (Ire), a daughter of the prolific Australasian
stallion Danehill and a half sister to Irish Highweight juvenile filly
and dual Group 1 scorer Again (Ire) (Danehill Dancer {Ire}). Also
responsible for listed French winner Iltemas (Galileo {Ire}),
Arkadina is out of Cumbres (Fr), a half-sister to multiple
European champion and international sire Montjeu (Ire)
(Sadler=s Wells). Arkadina=s latest produce includes a juvenile
colt by Speightstown and a yearling colt by Lope de Vega (Ire).

Sonic Boom went from gate-to-wire to register his first graded
success in the American Derby on Arlington=s Stars and Stripes
day. Dashing out alongside Hembree, the chalk gained the
advantage rounding the first turn as Hembree floated out wide
and settled to press from second through opening splits of
:23.43 and :48.05. Showing the way into the lane, Sonic Boom
kept on finding to score over a rallying Gorgeous Kitten.

Dona Bruja took her American record to two-for-two with an
ultra-impressive victory in the Modesty, the local prep for the
GI Beverly D. S. Aug. 12. Away well from her rail draw, the chalk
was taken back to sit second last as longshot One Liz (Kitalpha)
ticked off opening splits of :24.59 and :50.37. Still at the back of
the pack after three-quarters in 1:14.08, the bay was tipped out

Keystoneforvictory, who broke his maiden for a bargain
$25,000 tag in early 2016, has come a long way since that
Gulfstream Park effort. After recording his first career stakes win
in the 8 1/2-furlong Forty Niner S. at that venue later in June, he
failed to hit the board in the GIII Kent S. at Delaware in July, but
was an honest third going a mile in the Showing Up S. at
Gulfstream Park West Nov. 5. The neck victor of the Claiming
Crown Emerald S. at Gulfstream Dec. 3, he made it two straight
with a score going nine panels in a starter optional claimer at
the Hallandale oval Jan. 20. Sent to Barbados for the nine-panel
GI Gold Cup Mar. 4, he came home third, but bounced back to
score next time out in a Gulfstream starter handicap at 1 1/2
miles May 29.
Crowded by Bodhisattva (Student Council) at the start,
Keystoneforvictory was shuffled back to sixth in the early going,
as 6-5 choice The Pizza Man settled in a stalking fourth. Eager to
go on as a free-running Belomor (Stormy Atlantic) carved out a
pedestrian half in :49.80, the bay started to show signs of life as
he came off the rail while remaining behind the second flight of
horses. Ready to take closer order as the longshot leader was
starting to show the effects of his early efforts,
Keystoneforvictory was brought out four wide turning for home,
zeroed in on The Pizza Man, who gained command midstretch,
caught him late and drew clear to gain the victory. Applicator
was a head back in third.
AIt set up perfect for us,@ said winning rider Julien Leparoux. AA
couple of horses on the lead, and my horse relaxed. We had a
perfect race.@
Regarding the effort of the beaten favorite, jockey Florent
Geroux added, AHe felt good, turning for home I thought I was
going to get the win, but the one horse just ran him down the
last eighth of a mile. He ran great, I think he=s improved on his
last race and I think he=s moving in the right direction. He=s a
little bit older now and it might take him a bit longer to get to his
top form.@
Pedigree Notes:
Like a fine wine, Keystoneforvictory has gotten better with
age, reflected by his first graded win in Saturday=s Stars and
Stripes S. It can be argued that he had license to become a
productive performer on the turf, given the credentials of his
sire Shakespeare, who was a two-time Grade I winner on the
grass as well as his dam, Free Fee Lady, who annexed the
Wonder Where S. The 4-year-old is the first foal out of the now
10-year-old Free Fee Lady, who most recently produced a colt
by English Channel in 2016 followed by a Super Saver colt this
term.

Ghost Hunter took advantage of a perfect trip and dug in
tenaciously in the waning strides to provide Midlantic-based
Edwin Gonzalez with his first U.S. graded-stakes win in
Saturday=s GIII Arlington H., the local prep for the GI Arlington
Million in five weeks= time.
Neatly away from gate six, Ghost Hunter came back nicely into
the hands of Gonzalez and secured the box seat from third as
79-1 Crewman (Drewman), two-back winner of the GIII Hanshin
S., set the pace in advance of fellow longshot Oak Brook, a full-
brother to the recently deceased Giant Oak. With the lanky
Gonzalez riding tall in the saddle, Ghost Hunter slipstreamed
Crewman into and around the far turn while flanked by New
York invader Manitoulin (Awesome Again) and was poised to
pounce at the top of the stretch. With the rail conveniently
vacated by Crewman, Ghost Hunter seized upon that
opportunity, drove through inside of Oak Brook to lead inside
the furlong marker and stayed on well for the victory. Defending
champion Kasaqui got far back off a modest pace and kicked
hard in the lane, but fell just short.
AI think my decision to go inside was the right one,@ said
Gonzalez. AI was trying to decide--if I went outside it would use
too much--and then the door opened and I took it.@
Winner of last year=s Presque Isle Mile, Ghost Hunter missed
by a half-length when third to future GI Woodford Reserve
Manhattan S. in Laurel=s Henry Clark S. Apr. 22. A troubled
runner-up to Crewman in the Hanshin, the bay was exiting a
half-length defeat of the classy Ring Weekend (Tapit) in a
June 15 Delaware allowance.
Pedigree Notes:
Ghost Hunter was the first for for his dam, a half-sister to
Puerto Rican champion Silver Streaker (Smart Strike), who was
acquired by Adena Springs for $75,000 at the 2008 Fasig-Tipton
November sale. Hartfelt is the dam of a yearling colt by Macho
Uno and produced a filly by Mucho Macho Man May 4. Ghost
Hunter is the 31st graded-stakes winner for his Adena Springs-
based stallion.

5. Vertical Oak Giant Oak

Hence provided visiting jockey Mike Smith with a sweep of the
evening=s black-type events in Altoona with a last-to-first
triumph in Friday=s GIII Iowa Derby.
The Calumet homebred immediately took himself to the back
of the pack early on as McCormick set an easy, if contested,
pace from the well-backed Churchill allowance winner
Impressive Edge and Balandeen (Bernardini) to his outside.
Petrov (Flatter), the somewhat surprising post-time favorite,
enjoyed the run of the race after leaving from the rail draw and
the top seven were covered by about three lengths, with Hence
a detached last while still ridden cold. McCormick remained the
determined leader as they prepared to leave the far turn, but
Hence shot into the frame under a full head of steam, came six
wide into the stretch, wrested command from McCormick a
sixteenth from home and inched clear.
Hence overcame a wild trip to graduate at fourth asking in the
slop at Oaklawn this past January and got the right set-up when
swooping from last off a hot pace to win the GIII Sunland Derby
Mar. 26. An even 11th at 15-1 in the GI Kentucky Derby May 6,
the sleek chestnut was no factor at any point in the GI Preakness
S. May 20, finishing ninth.
Pedigree Notes:
A half-brother to SP Conquest Stormy (Stormy Atlantic) and to
the dam of MSW & GSP Inconclusive (Include), Hence was sold
to Calumet in utero for $55,000 at the 2013 Keeneland
November Sale. Floating Island is a half-sister to Eugene
Melnyk=s versatile MGSW & GISP Pico Teneriffe (Red Ransom),
herself the dam of two-time Sovereign Award winner, MGSW
and Canadian Classic winner Marchfield (A.P. Indy) as well as SW
Congor Bay (Speightstown). Hence is one of 13 graded-stakes
winners for Street Boss, who has also been represented this
season by Australian Group 2 winner The Quarterback (Aus) and
the late Rapper Dragon (Aus), winner of the Hong Kong Derby.
Floating Island is the dam of the 2-year-old filly Mad Grace
(English Channel), a yearling filly by Risque Remarque and a colt
foal by Calumet=s GI Preakness S. hero Oxbow.
AMERICAN GAL RETURNS IN VICTORY RIDE Kaleem Shah homebred American Gal (Concord Point) makes
her first start of the year in Sunday=s GIII Victory Ride S. at
Belmont Park. The
filly, under the care
of Bob Baffert last
year, aired by 6 1/2
lengths in the Oct.
23 Anoakia S. at
Santa Anita before
closing late to be
third in the Nov. 5
GI Breeders= Cup
Juvenile Fillies. She concluded her 2-year-old campaign with a
runner-up effort in the Dec. 10 GI Starlet S. and makes her first
start for trainer Simon Callaghan in the 6 1/2-furlong Victory
Ride.
Vertical Oak (Giant Oak), an open-lengths victress of the Apr.
29 Goldfinch S. at Prairie Meadows, was a 3 3/4-length winner
of the May 19 GIII Miss Preakness S. The chestnut looks to get
back on track after being declared a non-starter after hitting the
gate at the start of the June 11 Jersey Girl S. last time out.
Belka Stud=s Too Much Tip (Too Much Bling) began her career
with five straight wins in Puerto Rico. She makes her second
stateside trip to the post for trainer Wesley Ward off a solid
fourth-place effort behind Vertical Oak in the Miss Preakness S.

>SNAKE= FUNDRAISER A ROUSING SUCCESS A fundraising event held Saturday evening at McCarthy=s Pub
in downtown Lexington, Kentucky, to support beloved Central
Kentucky horseman Mark >Snake= Thompson raised over
$140,000, reported Jack Brothers, one of the event=s organizers.
AThe turnout was absolutely remarkable,@ said Brothers, who
estimates that a live auction raised $120,000, with Aprobably
another $20,000" raised through a silent auction. AMcCarthy=s is
pretty spread-out,
but I would have to
think we had 200
people here. Our
thanks go to all the
farms and individuals
who donated. It was
really a terrific
outpouring from the
horse community.
People came ready
to spend and support the effort. Pretty much everyone in town
for the [Fasig-Tipton Kentucky] sale were here, and if they didn=t
buy, they were the underbidders. We appreciate all the
support.@
Thompson, a former jockeys= valet who most recently was lead
show man at Thoroughbred sales, is recovering from a
debilitating stroke suffered just before last year=s Keeneland
November sale. The fundraiser comes on the heels of a
GoFundMe campaign organized by the racing industry on
Thompson=s behalf. The campaign has raised over $75,000 over
the past eight months.
Among the auction items available were halters from all three
2017 Triple Crown race winners and star Thoroughbreds like
Arrogate, American Pharoah, Curlin and Nyquist. Premium
seating at Churchill Downs, Keeneland, Saratoga and Paul Brown
Stadium, home of the Cincinnati Bengals, were also donated.

Third in the GIII Aristides S. last summer, Union Jackson
completed the trifecta in the Thanksgiving H. at Fair Grounds
Nov. 24 and romped by 8 1/4 lengths in the Houston Sprint Cup
Feb. 11. Given a brief freshening, he was last seen finishing
fourth in this year=s Aristides June 3 at Churchill Downs. Tracking
from fourth through a half in :44.46, the even-money favorite
ranged up four wide turning for home, powered past Storm
Advisory in the final sixteenth and held off a late surge from
Apprehender to score. Winning trainer Steve Asmussen also
captured the GIII Cornhusker H. one race later and took Friday
night=s Iowa Distaff and GIII Iowa Derby. The winner=s dam Hot
Dixie Chick, heroine of the 2009 GI Spinaway S., is a half-sister to
this year=s GI Kentucky Derby winner Always Dreaming
(Bodemeister). Union Jackson is the first foal out of the 10-year-
old mare. Her second foal, the 3-year-old filly Marcy Darcy
(Smart Strike), broke her maiden at second asking at Oaklawn
Apr. 13 and most recently finished sixth in a Churchill optional
claimer June 22. Hot Dixie Chick has a 2-year-old filly named
Cowboytakemeaway (Street Cry {Ire}) and was not bred for the
2016 season, but produced a Bernardini colt Feb. 7 of this year.

One race prior to annexing the GIII Iowa Derby for this trainer,
Mike Smith coaxed a worst-to-first finish out of Danzatrice, who
took her career batting average to .500 with the win.
Allowed to fall out of the gates, Danzatrice raced well off the
inside and was content to trail behind a steady gallop up front.
Asked for a rally three furlongs from home, she took the
overland route, but slingshot her way past rivals and though she
was wide off the final corner, her momentum carried her to a
relatively comfortable success. Cleverness and Divine Duchess
rounded out a triple that paid just over $1000 for a 50-cent
investment.
Winner of the 2015 Parx Oaks when trained by Cal Lynch,
Danzatrice thrashed her rivals in the 2016 Tiffany Lass S. at the
Fair Grounds. A popular allowance winner over the Lone Star
turf two back, she most recently dumped Gerard Melancon at
the start of the June 2 Spotted Horse S. at Evangeline.
The winner is kin to a 2-year-old colt of this year by Warrior=s
Reward, a yearling filly by Cross Traffic and a filly foal by
Karakontie (Jpn). Danzatrice hails from the extended female
family of Mission Impazible and Forest Camp. Click for the

finishing 13th in the GI Breeders= Cup Turf Sprint. Capturing the
California-bred Sensational Star S. Feb. 24 at Santa Anita, he was
a close second in both the Siren Lure S. and GIII Daytona S. in his
last two starts. Let go as the third choice in this return to dirt,
the dark bay stalked the pace from third through splits of :22.84
and :46.28, revved up three-deep approaching the quarter pole,
took over soon after straightening and edged clear for his sixth
stakes triumph. The winner has full-sisters of 2015 and 2016.
AI beat this horse the last two times he ran with Stormy Liberal,
so for a horse I had never ridden before, I knew him pretty
well,@ said winning rider Norberto Arroyo, Jr. AI worked him
Wednesday and he went well, so that gave me confidence. This
horse gave me a real strong run through the stretch.== Click for

Blueblood took all the money and rewarded his backers with a
hard-fought score to remain undefeated. Bet to odds-on first
out here May 19, the $300,000 KEESEP buy went wire-to-wire.
Sitting third on the outside early on, the bay cruised up to the
flank of pacesetter and paternal sibling Tenacity Zip passing a
:22.59 quarter, and the pair locked horns at the top of the lane,
with Blueblood getting the better of his foe in the final
sixteenth.
AFrom day one, since he=s been at Woodbine, he=s a more
mature horse,@ said rider Patrick Husbands. AIn other words, he=s
more like a 3-year-old. Everything I want him to do, he does. It=s
a pleasure being around him as a jockey.@
The winner=s dam, a half to MGSW Gamble=s Ghost
(Ghostzapper), is responsible for a yearling filly by Twirling
Candy and foaled a full-brother to the winner this season.

Ulysees (noseband) just up in the Eclipse | Racing Post photo
IN TDN AMERICA TODAYOSCAR PERFORMANCE PUTS ON A SHOW AT BELMONT Given a head’s up ride by Jose Ortiz, Oscar Performance (Kitten’s
Joy) led every step to annex Saturday’s $1.2-million GI Belmont
Derby. Click or tap here to go straight to TDN America.
EPIC BATTLE IN THE ECLIPSE
With its uphill ascent to the winning line, Sandown is
accustomed to tight finales but one of the best of recent times
was reserved for Saturday=s G1 Coral-Eclipse as Ulysses (Ire)
(Galileo {Ire}) enjoyed the narrowest of verdicts over Barney
Roy (GB) (Excelebration {Ire}). Like his mythical namesake, the
Niarchos Family=s homebred has undergone his own odyssey
from also-ran in last year=s G1 Epsom Derby to his trainer=s
record-equalling sixth Eclipse hero and like his five predecessors
from Freemason Lodge is an older horse subduing the Classic
generation.
Having struck too early when third last time in the G1 Prince of
Wales=s S. at Royal Ascot June 21, Jim Crowley who had been
jocked off Eminent (GB) (Frankel {GB}) earlier this week waited
longer this time with the 8-1 shot travelling visibly clear best in
the straight. After he had finally been allowed loose on the lead
with a furlong remaining, he was joined by Barney Roy and as
that 3-year-old built a head of steam the line came in time with
the headbob favouring him by a nose as they pulled
3 1/2 lengths clear of Desert Encounter (Ire) (Halling).
AIt was great to get the ride on him and I=m very grateful to the
owners and Sir Michael Stoute,@ Crowley said. AWe learnt a little
about each other last time and it was a real plus riding him
there. It was a little bit rough early on but we were away from
that and he settled well, whereas he was a bit fresh with me at
Ascot. I got a fantastic feeling off him at Ascot and possibly got
there a little bit too soon there, so that was on my mind a little
bit today.@ Cont. p4
HOKKAIDO LIGHTS UP FOR SELECT SALEBy Kelsey Riley
HOKKAIDO, Japan--The Japan Racing Horse Association stages
the 20th renewal of its Select Sale at the Northern Horse Park in
Hokkaido, Japan, on July 10 and 11, with 247 yearlings slated to
sell on Monday and 227 foals set for Tuesday=s session.
As guests from Japan and further afield continued to stream
into town on Saturday, Teruya Yoshida=s Shadai Farm and his
brother=s, Katsumi Yoshida=s, Northern Farm opened their doors
to potential buyers to show off the cream of the foal offerings.
The visiting media received a special treat right off the bat at
Shadai with a special viewing of champion mares Princess of
Sylmar (Majestic Warrior) and Stacelita (Fr) (Monsun {Ger}) and
their Deep Impact (Jpn) foals, neither of which are entered for
the sale. Four-time Grade I winner Princess of Sylmar was a
$1.3-million purchase by Shadai at Fasig-Tipton=s November sale
in 2014, and has a yearling colt and filly foal by Deep Impact.
Unsurprisingly, Princess of Sylmar is back in foal to that
perennial leading sire.
Stacelita, a multiple Group 1 winner in France and the U.S.,
was purchased privately by Teruya Yoshida and shipped to Japan
carrying her second foal, by Frankel, and that gamble could
hardly have turned out better, with the resultant Soul Stirring
(Jpn) becoming the sire=s first Group 1 winner and Japan=s
champion 2-year-old filly of 2016. Yoshida said Soul Stirring is
currently enjoying a summer break and could be aimed at a
European campaign next year at four. Off the back of Soul
Stirring=s success, Shadai currently has three mares in foal to
Frankel boarding at Newsells Park in England, including the
G1 Qatar Prix de l=Arc de Triomphe winner Danedream (Ger)
(Lomitas {GB}). Stacelita has a Deep Impact filly at her side that
will likely be retained to race by Sunday Racing, and she is back
in foal to Deep Impact.
Princess of Sylmar and Stacelita were the first in a long line of
Group 1 winners from America, Europe, Australasia and South
America to be paraded alongside their foals on Saturday, and
also on display at Shadai was GI Spinaway S. winner Contested
(Ghostzapper) and her Deep Impact colt (lot 379). Cont. p2

The mid-February foal, who will be one of the more
anticipated lots of the sale with a reserve of -90-million, is very
much in the speedy mold of his dam and, according to JRHA=s
international representative Naohiro Goda, is unlike the typical
Deep Impact foal, which is generally leaner like its sire.
Yoshida was keen to show off the Heart=s Cry (Jpn) colt out of
Argentinean Classic winner Juhayna (Arg) (Johannesburg).
He said the quality of Heart=s Cry=s books has been increasing
in recent years, and the stallion has displayed an ability to sire
top-class horses across the globe. Indeed, three of his four
Group 1 winners have won outside Japan and the fourth is the
G1 Tokyo Yushun (Japanese Derby) winner One and Only (Jpn),
third in the Dubai Sheema Classic. The Shadai team was also
greatly anticipating Saturday=s GI Belmont Derby, where Select
Sale graduate and >TDN Rising Star= Yoshida (Jpn) (Heart=s Cry
{Jpn}), a last-out listed winner, finished fifth.
The overwhelming success of Deep Impact means that many of
his sons are now joining him at stud, and one of the more highly
anticipated of those is the Tokyo Yushun winner Kizuna (Jpn),
who has 15 first-crop foals to be offered on Tuesday. Kizuna has
covered books of around 260 mares each of the last two years
at Shadai Stallion Station, and the team at Shadai showed off lot
373, his colt out of the German Group 1 winner Feodora (Ger)
(Lord of England {Ger}).
Another Group 1 winner with his first foals on offer this year is
Gold Ship (Jpn) (Stay Gold {Jpn}). The Big Red Farm resident was
well-known for his pre-race antics on the racetrack and he
seems to have passed his personality on to lot 320, who drew
comparisons to his sire by the Shadai staff as he danced around
the viewing area.

The colt=s page received a well-timed update last month, as his
dam, My Jen (Fusaichi Pegasus), is a half-sister to Royal Ascot=s
G1 Commonwealth Cup winner Carravaggio (Scat Daddy).
Opening the show later Saturday afternoon at Katsumi
Yoshida=s Northern Farm was the progeny of a trio of American
Grade I winners. GI Apple Blossom H. winner Ermine (Exchange
Rate), who boasts five winners from six runners in Japan,
showed off a Gold Allure (Jpn) filly (lot 350), who broodmare
manager Tomokazu Okazaki said was a stronger type than her
other foals. GI Frizette S. winner Sky Diva (Sky Mesa) was
paraded with her Deep Impact colt (lot 445), and all the while
dual Grade I winner Zazu (Tapit) hung her head over the back
door of her box, supervising proceedings. That accomplished
mare has produced four foals by Deep Impact, including her filly
foal (lot 418), and she is in foal to Daiwa Major. Cont. p4

Another American juvenile Grade I winner residing at Northern
Farm is the GI Spinaway S. winner Condo Commando (Tiz
Wonderful), whose first foal, a Deep Impact colt, will be offered
for sale as lot 319. He is one of three from the Northern Farm
foal consignment with a reserve of -100-million. The others are
a Deep Impact colt out of Elusive Wave (Jpn) (lot 362), and
therefore a full-brother to last year=s -280-million co-sale
topper; and a full-sister to seven-time Group 1 and Classic
winner Gentildonna (Jpn) (Deep Impact {Jpn}).
Japanese Horse of the Year and Triple Crown winner Orfevre
(Jpn) (Stay Gold {Jpn}) is one of the country=s most anticipated
first-crop sires this year, with one winner already on the board
since 2-year-old racing began in Japan in early June, and one
offering from his third crop that is likely to turn heads at the sale
is lot 356, a colt out of stakes winner Palace Rumor (Royal
Anthem), and therefore a half-brother to GI Belmont S. and GI
Met Mile winner Palace Malice (Curlin). Palace Rumor was a
$1.1-million purchase by Katsumi Yoshida at Fasig November in
2013 and her first foal to race in Japan, the 3-year-old Mineshaft
colt Genesis (Jpn), is a winner, while she has a yearling colt by
Heart=s Cry.
Lord Kanaloa, as his status as Japan=s champion sprinter would
suggest, has made an explosive start to his stud career with his
first runners this year. He has three winners and nine on the
board from 10 runners, and for sale on Tuesday will be a colt
from his third crop out of the dual Australian Classic winner
Shamrocker (NZ) (O=Reilly {NZ}) (lot 382). Shamrocker has a
strong record at the Select Sale, her two foals to be offered
making -92-million and -94-million, and last year=s yearling colt
by Deep Impact fetched -170-million. The reserve on this year=s
colt is -30-million.

Cliches are just truths repeated over and over and anybody
who has followed European racing since the 1980s accepts as
fact that Sir Michael Stoute has an unnatural way with horses he
has had the luxury of time with. The owners and breeders he
has been linked with down the years have been of the same
mentality as the master of Freemason Lodge, with patience the
most vital virtue regarding the thoroughbreds in his care. If
anything, Ulysses has hit the heights sooner than many from the
same long-established powerhouse stable that have eventually
scaled them but he was always more precocious than the likes
of former Eclipse winners Opera House (GB), Pilsudski (Ire) and
Notnowcato (GB). After flashing relative precocity with an eight-
length maiden win at Newbury last May, the bay earned himself
a tilt at the Derby and was the talk of Epsom but wound up only
12th there.
Like another of the stable=s former leading lights Harbinger
(GB) (Dansili {GB}), Ulysses returned to garner the G3 Gordon S.
over 12 furlongs at Glorious Goodwood in July but hopes that he
would build and build from there received a setback when he
found the filly Chain of Daisies (GB) (Rail Link {GB}) a short-head
further ahead in Windsor=s G3 Winter Hill S. at this trip in
August. With a bid for the Champion S. shelved, he was taken to
Santa Anita for the GI Breeders= Cup Turf in November and
managed a fourth placing after a slow start.

Jockey Jim Crowley celebrates the win | Racing Post
Coral-Eclipse S. cont.
His 4-year-old debut over this track and trip in the Apr. 28 G3
Gordon Richards S. was marked by a new maturity and with his
energy properly channelled he was able to dominate
Ballydoyle=s Deauville (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) by far more than the
winning margin of a length suggested. In the Prince of Wales=s
under Crowley for the first time, he looked to have the measure
of his rivals at the furlong pole after delivering his now
customary deadly turn of acceleration but he allowed Highland
Reel (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) a second chance and duly paid the price.
Crowley was keen to switch off early as Taj Mahal (Ire) (Galileo
{Ire}) took control of the pace and he was in the right place on
the outside when the scrimmaging that badly affected Cliffs of
Moher (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) took place towards the front. Keeping
dead aim on that 7-4 favourite and Barney Roy throughout, he
was tanking as the latter=s rider James Doyle began to make his
move with Ryan Moore struggling to get Cliffs of Moher in a
challenging position. Hard on the steel as the furlong marker
loomed, Ulysses was shaken up to initially swamp Barney Roy
and it was only inside the last 50 yards that his year-younger
opponent significantly narrowed the gap to force the photo.
When it was unveiled, it showed less than a nostril=s width had
eventually separated the duo.
Stoute, who is now level with the legendary Alec Taylor, Jr., is
pondering a step back up to a mile and a half with Ulysses.
AOpera House was pretty close, but not as close as that,@ he said.
AI felt he was holding on, but I wasn=t at a good angle for the
line. He=s been to Santa Anita and Goodwood and is very
adaptable. He=s only run one bad race, but he had mitigation in
the Derby as he was rolled over twice in that. He=s very
consistent and can go back up to a mile and a half, as he is not as
keen this year. Kevin Bradshaw rides him every day and has
done a wonderful job with this horse, as has my head girl Sarah
Denniff so it has been good teamwork. Let=s go home now and
see how he is in 10 days= time.@
Connections of Barney Roy can take much from the slender
defeat and jockey James Doyle believes he is capable of better.
AIt was a messy race early and we were on top of each other a
bit,@ he said. ARyan [Moore] got hampered down on the inside,
but this track isn=t ideal for young horses. We actually had a
lovely run round. He was a little bit green on the track, but he
turned into the straight nicely and I thought we=d win. Ulysses
jumped on us quick and I thought we were definitely beat and
then he=s rallied back in the last 50 yards. In another stride I
think we=d have got there, but full credit to him, he=s run a
stormer.@ Trainer Richard Hannon added, AHe is good horse and
he is getting better. We are delighted, he has run a super race.
He was just shade unlucky. I=m very proud of him and the team,
it was a good effort. He is a brave horse and he is only a baby.
He will be a very good middle-distance horse for this year and
next year. He is in a lot of good races. He has come back from
Ascot--he had a hard race there but he has still come out and
run his race here.@
Pedigree Notes:
It has been a stellar year for Niarchos breeding, with Ulysses=s
relative Cloth of Stars (Ire) (Sea the Stars {Ire}) winning the G1
Prix Ganay, G2 Prix d=Harcourt and G3 Prix Exbury and the
homebred filly Senga (Blame) capturing the G1 Prix de Diane. By
winning this timeless classic of a race, Ulysses was going two
places better than his dam=s G1SW half-sister Shiva (Jpn) (Hector
Protector) who found Giant=s Causeway and Kalanisi (Ire) too
good in the millennium year. The dam Light Shift is of course the
2007 Epsom Oaks heroine, while her half-brothers include the
sire Limnos (Jpn) who was successful in the G2 Prix Foy and G2
Prix Jean de Chaudenay and Hyades (Aldebaran) who was
second in the 2010 GI Charles Whittingham Memorial H. Her
useful half-sister Burning Sunset (GB) (Caerleon) went on to
produce the G2 Prix d=Harcourt scorer and G1 Singapore Airlines
International Cup runner-up Smoking Sun (Smart Strike) and she
was also responsible for the G3 Prix d=Aumale runner-up Ikat
(Ire) (Pivotal {GB}). She in turn gave the Niarchos Family another
cherished gift in the multiple grade I-winning champion Main
Sequence (Aldebaran), while another half-sibling of Light Shift,
the modest performer Strawberry Fledge (Kingmambo), is the
dam of the aforementioned Cloth of Stars. Unfortunately,
Ulysses is the last foal out of the Northern Trick descendant
Light Shift, who had only one other foal make the track in the
former Sir Henry Cecil-trained Bath handicap winner Dr Yes (Fr)
(Dansili {GB}). Ulysses is the 66th individual Group 1/Grade I
winner for Galileo, who is now within seven of his legendary sire
in that category.

Second in the Listed Height of Fashion S. over 10 furlongs at
Goodwood last May, The Black Princess was third in the
G2 Ribblesdale S. over this trip at Royal Ascot in June and re-
emerged from a six-month break to capture the Listed Prix
Solitude over the former trip at Saint-Cloud in November.
Returning to beat the subsequent G1 Grand Prix de Saint-Cloud
third Armande (Ire) (Sea the Stars {Ire}) in Chantilly=s G3 Prix
Allez France also over 10 furlongs Apr. 30, the bay was second
over slightly further in the G2 Middleton S. at York May 18 and
stepped up to provide John Gosden with a record-equalling
seventh renewal of this affair. Anchored on the rail early in fifth
racing keenly, she was denied a run to her outer as Abingdon
(Street Cry {Ire}) was sent on passing the quarter pole. Switched
back and launched between rivals as that favourite lugged right,
she reeled her in with 100 yards remaining and stayed on
gamely for more pattern-race honours.
With Gosden absent, his travelling head lad Tony Proctor was
on hand to say, AShe=s done nothing wrong since we=ve had her.
She went to France and won there. Then she ran at York and
made the running, which didn=t suit her. Mentally, she=s been a
bit slow at coming to herself. Physically, she=s always been
there. She=s not had many races and looked as good today as we
thought she would.@
Ballymacoll Stud=s general manager Peter Reynolds said of
Abingdon, who will be a key member of the dispersal later this
year, AShe ran a super race, she just got caught but she is group
two-placed now and is a valuable lady. She will be sold in
December, sadly, but I hope she will give us more fun before
then.@
Pedigree Notes:
The Black Princess is the second foal out of Larceny, who is a
half-sister to three group winners headed by the G1 Prix du
Jockey Club hero and sire Lawman (Fr), the G1 Prix de Diane
heroine Latice (Ire) (Inchnor {GB}) who in turn is the dam of the
dual listed scorer Fencing (Street Cry {Ire}), and the G3 Prix du
Palais-Royal-winning sire Satri (Ire). The third dam Light the
Lights, who was successful in the G2 Prix de Pomone and ran
third in the G1 Prix Vermeille, is a half-sister to three black-type
winners headed by the G3 Prix Fille de l=Air winner Liastra (GB)
(Artaius) whose descendants include the GIII Tropical Park Derby
victor Go Lib Go (Septieme Ciel). Also featuring the G2 Prix de
Malleret winner Al Wathna (GB) (Nayef) and the GI American
Oaks third Little Journey (Fr) (Great Journey {Jpn}), the family
has additions of Larceny=s 2-year-old filly by Dark Angel (Ire)
named Gabrielle (Fr) and a yearling filly by Zebedee (GB).

Battaash looked potentially smart when scoring by four
lengths on debut at Bath last May, but after ruining his chance
by rearing in the stalls and trailing in 12th in the Listed Windor
Castle S. at Royal Ascot was sent back to Shadwell for a gelding
operation. Third on his comeback in a six-furlong conditions
event at Doncaster in early September, the bay was also in that
spot in a five-furlong nursery at Haydock later that month and in
the G3 Cornwallis S. at Newmarket the following month. Back to
impose himself on his rivals which included the subsequent
G3 Chipchase S. winner Koropick (Ire) (Kodiac {GB}) in theListed
Scurry S. over this course and distance June 17, he was more
alertly away here and when opened up approaching the furlong
pole was never in danger.
Jockey Dane O=Neill was impressed. AHe=s got a lot of ability
and we=ve always liked him,@ he said. AHe=s had his issues, but
Charlie and his team have done well to sort him out. He=s a
typical sprinter--he either does things slowly and quietly or at
full tilt. He=s pretty impressive when he settles and accepts it.
The worry for me was whether somebody got to my girths and
lit him up a bit, but he was able to do it just the way he wants
because he has such early speed.@ Charlie Hills is looking at the
G2 King George S. at Glorious Goodwood Aug. 4. AHe is
improving now, as he has had a few problems but is going the
right way,@ he said.
AThe obvious race is the King George. He has got an entry in
the [G1] Nunthorpe [S. at York Aug. 25] and we would be taking
on a good filly [Lady Aurelia] there that we have got to be wary
of. We were always trying to get him settled this year as last
year he was like a bull in a china shop as he tried to do
everything at once. Hopefully he will improve with more racing.
I don=t think we will be looking to stepping him up to six
furlongs.@
Battaash is the first foal out of a half-sister to four black-type
performers headed by Shadwell=s former G2 Champagne S.
winner Etlaala (GB) (Selkirk) and Bird Key (GB) (Cadeaux
Genereux {GB}), who in turn produced this year=s G2 Duke of
York S. scorer and G1 Diamond Jubilee S. runner-up Tasleet (GB)
(Showcasing {GB}). The third dam Noirmant is a half to the
G1 Prix Royal-Oak winner Braashee (Sadler=s Wells), her full-
brother, the four-time group 3 winner Adam Smith (GB) and the
G3 Nell Gwyn S. winner Ghariba (Ire) (Final Straw {GB}). She in
turn is the dam of the listed-winning Promptly (Ire) (Lead On
Time), who herself produced the G3 Autumn S. scorer and
G1 Racing Post Trophy runner-up Fantastic View (Distant View).
Anna Law also has an as yet unraced 2-year-old colt by Intikhab
named Littlelordconford (Ire).
SNOW IN JULY Having shaped up to the best of Britain and Ireland=s miling 3-
year-olds, Godolphin=s Thunder Snow (Ire) (Helmet {Aus}) heads
back to France on Sunday where he will bid to supplement his
group 1 success in the G1 Criterium International in Chantilly=s
G1 Prix Jean Prat. Since winning that seven-furlong feature at
Saint-Cloud in October, the bay has captured the Feb. 11 G3 UAE
2000 Guineas and Mar. 25 G2 UAE Derby and placed second and
third in the G1 Irish 2000 Guineas at The Curragh May 27 and G1
St James=s Palace S. at Royal Ascot June 20, with the inexplicable
blip at Churchill Downs in between.
Andre Fabre currently shares the record of five wins in this
race which has enjoyed a few different guises with Francois
Mathet and Francois Boutin and saddles Haras de Saint Pair=s
unbeaten Trais Fluors (GB) (Dansili {GB}). He has emerged from
the Listed Prix de Pontarme at Saint-Cloud May 23 and G3 Prix
Paul de Moussac here June 17 with a steadily enhancing
reputation and his ceiling has yet to be reached. Goldikova=s
half-sister Gold Luck (Fr) (Redoute=s Choice {Aus}) won the nine-
furlong G3 Prix Vanteaux here Apr. 9 before finishing fifth in the
G1 Prix Saint-Alary trying a mile and a quarter on testing ground
at Deauville May 14. Back here for the G2 Prix de Sandringham
June 4, the Wertheimer homebred split La Sardane (Fr)
(Kingsalsa) and the subsequent G1 Prix de Diane heroine Senga
(Blame) when second there and may need positive tactics to
beat the colts here.

GODOLPHIN HORSES TO OXX Trainer John Oxx, best known for his longtime and successful
association with His Highness the Aga Khan and for his work
with six-time Group 1 winner Sea The Stars (Ire) (Cape Cross
{Ire}) was recently sent five 2-year-olds owned by Godolphin,
according to a
story first
released by The
Irish Field.
ASheikh
Mohammed has
had a long-
standing
relationship with
John Oxx and we
are delighted he
has agreed to
train for us again. We look forward to working with him,@ Joe
Osborne, recently named chief executive officer of Godolphin,
told the publication.
Oxx, who turns 67 on July 14, conditioned the likes of
champions George Augustus and Foresee (GB) to important
victories in the 1990s and Dearly (GB) and New South Wales
(GB) in the early 2000s, reported The Irish Field.
Oxx=s association with the Aga Khan, for whom he trained
Sinndar (Ire) and Azamour (Ire), ended in 2013, while the Tsui
family, who campaigned Sea The Stars, decided last year that
they would no longer have their horses trained in Ireland.

Out early this year, Tisbutadream won three handicaps on the
Polytrack at this trip at Lingfield and Kempton before finishing
eighth in the Listed Spring Cup also at Lingfield Mar. 4. Back at a
mile to garner an Ascot handicap May 13, the chestnut ran third
in Epsom=s G3 Princess Elizabeth S. June 3 and ninth in the Listed
Sandringham H. at Royal Ascot June 21. Unbowed by a busy
campaign, she was up to lead from the outset and drew on her
tenacity to see off allcomers from the two-furlong pole.
The winner becomes the second black-type winner for the

Without a win since the G2 Prix Kergorlay at Deauville last
August, Nearly Caught faced tough assignments thereafter with
a third placing in the G1 Prix du Cadran at Chantilly and fifth in
Ascot=s G2 British Champions Long Distance Cup in October the
best of them. Becoming the first to advertise the form of the
G1 Gold Cup at the Royal meeting in which he was a well-beaten
ninth June 22, the bay took advantage of a class-drop to restore
some confidence. Help up well adrift of the pace in fourth
throughout the early stages, he hung down towards the rail
when the pressure was applied inside the final quarter mile but
was able to gain the lead with 150 yards remaining and tough it
out from the Chester Cup hero Montaly.
Nearly Caught is a half-brother to the talented G2 Lonsdale
Cup winner Pale Mimosa out of a half to the GII E.P. Taylor S.
heroine Kool Kat Katie (Ire) (Fairy King) and her G3 Musidora S.-
winning full-sister Kalypso Katie (Ire) who was also runner-up in
the G1 Epsom Oaks and third in the GI Beverly D. S. The third
dam Blue Stack (Roberto) is a half to the G3 Railway S. winner
Misty Bend (Never Bend), whose descendants include the
Argentinian group 1 winner Tuozzo (Arg) (Sonus {Ire}). Also from
the family of the juvenile champion El Chico (John P. Grier),

in this prestigious AOld Newton Cup@ partly as a result of his

G2 Derby Italiano in his former native Italy, was coming out of
black-type company after a latest seventh in the Listed Grand

rear early. Getting to the other joint-topweight Soldier In Action
(Fr) (Soldier of Fortune {Ire}) approaching the furlong pole, the
25-1 shot stayed on to secure an authoritative 2 1/4-length
success from that rival. The smart G3 Premio Verziere-winning

of ground to make up in the straight but stayed on to gain the
lead with 100 yards remaining en route to a neck success from
Gm Hopkins (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}). The dam is a half-sister to the

BELLE BOYD (GB) (f, 3, Oasis Dream {GB}--Portrayal {SW &
GSP-Eng, MGSP-Fr, $105,212}, by Saint Ballado), who placed in
starts at Cork May 19 and at Leopardstown last time June 15,
broke smartly and raced in second through the early fractions of
this third go. Easing to the fore on the home turn, the 8-13 chalk
was nudged along approaching the quarter-mile marker and
bounded clear thereafter to stop the clock six lengths in advance
of Dayereh (Ire) (Rip Van Winkle {Ire}). AThey went steady early
and she put it to bed well,@ said winning trainer Willie McCreery.
ABilly [Lee] was able to set his own fractions, she is improving
the whole time and the more experience she is getting the
better. She has plenty of boot and we may bring her back to
seven [furlongs]. The aim with all Sheikh Mohammed=s fillies is
to get some black type.@ The homebred bay is the fourth scorer
out of MGSP Listed Severals S. winner Portrayal (Saint Ballado)
and is a half to Listed Prix Amandine victress Come Alive (GB)

Fauguernon broke through at Mont-de-Marsan in his third
start Mar. 19 before running second over this course and
distance Apr. 11, and went postward for this stakes bow coming
back off a May 22 conditions score at Toulouse. Sent to the fore
after passing the judge first time, he held sway thereafter and
stayed on resolutely under continued urging inside the final
quarter mile to hold on for a career high.
Fauguernon becomes the first stakes scorer for his winning
dam I=m Right (Rahy), whose own dam is MGSP Listed Criterium
d=Evry victress Sheer Reason (Danzig), who in turn is a daughter
of G3 Princess Margaret S. winner Hiaam (Alydar). Hiaam is a
half to GI Kentucky Oaks heroine Seaside Attraction (Seattle
Slew), MGISW Gorgeous (Slew o= Gold) and MGSW Canadian
champion Key To The Moon (Wajima). Fauguernon=s fourth dam
Kamar (Key to the Mint) was an outstanding producer and her
descendants include a further eight top-level winners headed by
the MG1SW GI Breeders= Cup Turf hero Fantastic Light (Rahy).

Royal Julius ran seventh in last term=s G1 Prix du Jockey Club
after hitting the board in the G2 Prix Hocquart and lined up in
this first go for Jerome Reynier coming off a June 7 conditions
score at Clairefontaine in his only prior start this year. Accepting
a tow in second after the early exchanges, he came under
pressure off the home turn to challenge at the eighth pole and
was pushed out to assert for a belated first black-type score.
Royal Julius is the sole performer out of Hflah (Ire) (Dubawi
{Ire}), who is an unraced half-sister to G1 Criterium de Saint-
Cloud-winning European highweighted juvenile filly and G1 Prix
de Diane third Goldamix (Ire) (Linamix {Ire}), who in turn is the
dam of G3 Penelope and G3 Prix d=Aumale placegetter Sismix
(Ire) (Diesis {GB}). His third dam is G3 Prix de Minerve victrix
Anitra=s Dance (Fr) (Green Dancer), herself the dam of two
black-type performers headed by G3 Prix Fille de l=Air winner
and stakes-producing Solveig (Fr) (Gay Mecene). Anitra=s Dance
is also a half-sister to G3 Prix d=Aumale third Blue River (Fr)
(Riverman), whose descendants include G1 Poule d=Essai de
Pouliches heroine Torrestrella (Ire) (Orpen) and G1 Queen
Elizabeth II Cup victress Queen-s Ring (Jpn) (Manhattan Cafe

CUMMINGS STRAIGHT OFF THE MARK Saturday marked the opening of a new era for Godolphin=s
Australian operation, as James Cummings, the grandson of the
legendary Bart Cummings and son of trainer Anthony
Cummings, took over training duties from interim trainer Darren
Beadman. And things could not have gotten off to a better
beginning for the new partnership as Manicure (Aus) (Exceed
and Excel {Aus}) belied odds of 17-1 to take the TAB Rewards H.
(1200m), the opening event Saturday at Warwick Farm.
Exiting a maiden victory at Canterbury June 21, Manicure
attended the early pace Saturday before settled in mid-division
through the middle stages. She loomed boldly three abreast off
the home corner and looked a bit one-paced entering the final
furlong, but the bay was kept to her task by Corey Brown and
stuck her head across the wire first (video).
AIt=s an absolute honour to train for His Highness Sheikh
Mohammed and for his first runner with me in his colours to be
a winner is pretty special,@ Cummings told Racing NSW. AThe
first runner I had that he was in the ownership with also won,
Hallowed Crown (Aus), so it=s a really nice way to start and the
period ahead is going to be one I can really enjoy.@
ROYAL SYMPHONY REMAINS ON SONGby Alan Carasso
Asked to concede anywhere between 3 1/2 to 5 kilos to 11 of
his fellow juveniles, Royal Symphony (Aus) (Domesday {Aus})
continued his rapid ascent through the grades with a
comprehensive 4 1/4-length victory in Saturday=s Listed Taj Rossi
Series Final (1600m) at Flemington.
Punted into $1.50 (1-2) favouritism, Royal Symphony was one
of the last away from the stalls, but was allowed to find his feet
and had improved into about centerfield down the side of the
course. Patiently handled by Dwayne Dunn, whose wife Amanda
is part of the ownership group, the bay pinched ground at the
fence, edged away from the inside at the top of the straight and
poured in on in the final 200m, then galloped out well past his
rivals (video).
AI don=t know how good those horses are behind him--not
being disrespectful, but the second horse is a maiden--but when
you carry that sort of weight (59kg) and can do that, it shows
you=re a good horse,@ winning trainer Tony McEvoy told
Racing.com.

The conditioner confirmed that Royal Symphony, now three-
from-three, would have a crack at the G1 Caulfield Guineas
(1600m) Oct. 14.
AHe looked like a horse of real substance today, that=s what
we=ve always thought of him and, now that we=ve seen it twice
I=m really comfortable putting him away and thinking the spring
is the right thing to do,@ McEvoy told Racing.com AI=ve got such a
variety of things I can do with him at home at Kildalton Park (in
Angaston), so we=ll just keep him interested and happy. We=ll
back right off, keep him trot and cantering and have an English
preparation. This Guineas is such a high-pressure, high-powered
mile, I think third-up there will give him his best chance.@
Joe and Daira Vella bred Royal Symphony in Victoria under
their Wingrove Park banner and the colt was sold privately last
April when the he was Anot granted entry to Melbourne=s

TAPIT GRANDSON OF IPI TOMBE BREAKS
MAIDEN by Alan Carasso
Wheel of Time (SAf) (Tapit), whose dam Pin Turn (GB) (Pivotal
{GB}) is a daughter of South African, Zimbabwean and UAE
champion Ipi Tombe (Zim) (Manshood {GB}), showed sharp
acceleration over the final 2 1/2 furlongs and held sway late for
a cosy half-length graduation in Saturday=s opening race at
Turffontein.
A drifter in the markets from an opening price of 3-2 out to
twice that at the off, the Sheikh Mohammed bin Khalifa
colourbearer was in the latter half of the field at the 600m
before being switched to the inner by Anthony Delpech soon
after. He hit the front going well with a quarter-mile to travel
and never looked like losing from there as favored Battle Front
(SAf) (Judpot) closed well to make the final margin close.
Wheel of Time, the seventh South African winner for his wildly
successful US-based stallion, was bred by Mrs Gaynor Rupert=s
Drakenstein Stud, who acquired Pin Turn for US$65,000 in foal
to Canadian sire Old Forester at the 2012 Keeneland November
sale. The mare remained stateside and was covered by Tapit on
Southern Hemisphere time, producing Wheel of Time on Sept. 3,
2014. Drakenstein consigned the chestnut to last year=s
Bloodstock South Africa National Yearling Sale, where he
fetched a final bid of R1-million from Jehan Malherbe=s Form
Bloodstock.
Ipi Tombe was trained by Mike de Kock to victories in the
prestigious G1 Durban July H. in 2002 and the G1 Dubai Duty
Free S. in 2003 when raced by Barry Irwin=s Team Valor, WinStar
Farm and Sunmark Partners. Sent to the US, she added a victory
in the GIII Locust Grove H. and retired with 12 wins from 14
starts.
