A=ALI SISTER A PREMIERSALE STANDOUT
By Kelsey Riley
Fledgling bloodstock agent Daniel Creighton took a swing at
the top of the market at the Goffs UK Premier Yearling Sale in
2016, spending ,220,000 on behalf of owner John Dance on the
sale=s highest-priced filly. The transaction could hardly have
worked out better, with that yearling going on to become the
six-time Group 1 winner Laurens (Fr) (Siyouni {Fr}). Creighton,
along with his partner Josh Schwartz, are hoping to feature on
the leaderboard at the same sale on Sept. 1 and 2 as sellers,
with six yearlings set to go under the hammer as part of their
Salcey Forest Stud draft. Those include a filly by promising first-
season sire Cotai Glory (GB) (lot 322) who is a half-sister to
multiple group-winning sprinter A=Ali (Ire) (Society Rock {Ire}), a
,35,000 graduate of the Premier sale in 2018.
The March-born filly is poised to provide her breeder Andrew
Davis with a cozy return; through Creighton, Davis bought her
dam, the Motivator (GB) mare Motion Lass (GB), for just
9,000gns while carrying her at the Tattersalls February Sale.
Four months later A=Ali won the G2 Norfolk S. at Royal Ascot
followed by the G2 Prix Robert Papin and the G2 Flying Childers
S. A sales ring score, however, would come with a touch of
sadness, as Motion Lass died at the height of A=Ali=s powers.

DONCASTER TO OFFER EARLY MARKETCLUES By Kelsey Riley The start of the racing season, and in fact the yearling sales
season itself, may have been badly impeded by the coronavirus
pandemic, but that didn=t stop Goffs UK=s Premier Yearling Sale
graduates from getting off to a flying start once things finally did
get underway. One of the fastest from the gate was The Lir Jet
(Ire) (Prince Of Lir {Ire}), whose debut victory three days after
racing=s resumption on June 3 led to a private deal with Qatar
Racing and a subsequent victory in the G2 Norfolk S. 16 days
later. It was the second straight year that a Premier graduate
had taken that Royal Ascot feature, following on from A=Ali (Ire)
(Society Rock {Ire}) in 2019, and it was the first of the sale=s two
title defenses of the meeting, with Golden Horde (Ire) (Lethal
Force {Ire}) taking the mantel from Advertise (GB) (Showcasing
{GB}) in the G1 Commonwealth Cup an hour later. Cont. p3

SHE’S VERY STRONG AND STRIKES ME
AS A 2-YEAR-OLD TYPE.
SHE’S PROBABLY GOING TO BE VERY
SIMILAR TO HER BROTHER IN REGARDS
TO TRIP AND PRECOCITY.Daniel Creighton on A’Ali’s half-sister by Cotai Glory
Daniel Creighton of Salcey Forest Stud Cont. from p1
AFrom day one she=s always been a nice filly; when she was
born she had quality and class,@ Creighton recalled of the Cotai
Glory filly. AShe's always been very easy to deal with. The mare,
unfortunately, colicked and died which was terrible for all of us.
And that was after A=Ali won the Norfolk. So it was very
disappointing.@
The Cotai Glory filly is just the third foal out of the mare and
her only filly.
AIt's the only chance to have the bloodline if somebody wants
to buy into it, which is quite important,@ Creighton said. AIt's
hard not to offer a filly like her because she's quite valuable. She
has a lot of quality, a very nice head. She's a good mover, very
easy mover in the lunging ring. She floats across the ground,
she's very strong and she strikes me as a 2-year-old type. She's
probably going to be very similar to her brother in regards to
trip and precocity.@
While Davis will feel the loss of Motion Lass for some time,
another mare, Solfilia (GB) (Teofilo {Ire}), has likely helped ease
the pain. She was picked up by Creighton and Schwartz for
4,500gns at Tattersalls July in 2018, and her 2-year-old at the
time, Bodhicitta (GB) (Showcasing {GB}), was Grade I-placed in
America in May. Davis opted to retain Solfilia after bidding
stalled at ,340,000 during the Tattersalls Online August Sale.
Also among Davis=s offerings at the Goffs UK Premier Sale is a
colt from the first crop of Time Test (GB) (lot 312) who was
bought back for 19,000gns as a foal. He is the first foal out of
Midnight (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}), whose dam is a full-sister to Rock
Of Gibraltar (Ire).
AYou=d be hard-pressed to find a horse that can walk better
than this horse,@ Creighton said. AHe=s got fantastic action.@
Creighton also pointed to a filly by Kodiac (GB) (lot 52) as a
potential head-turner. She is the third foal out of Yukon Girl (Ire)
(Manduro {Ger}), a half-sister to the dam of Group 1 winner and
sire Mount Nelson (GB). Cont. p3
TDN EUROPE • PAGE 3 OF 20 • THETDN.COM MONDAY • 31 AUGUST 2020
Daniel Creighton of Salcey Forest Stud Cont.
AKodiac is riding the crest of a wave right now,@ Creighton said.
AHe=s had a fantastic year with Campanelle, Nando Parrado and
Hello Youmzain. This filly is a bit weak at the moment but she
has a very good back page. For me she=s a very good physical
and just a very nice filly.@
AWe have a very nice Bungle Inthejungle colt (lot 265) as well,@
Creighton added. AHe=s really strong, very typical of the stallion
and probably very much in the Doncaster mould, but with scope
as well.@
Creighton spent his formative years between Ireland, England
and Spain, honing his eye for a horse alongside his father Eddie
Creighton, who was a trainer. He dabbled in various facets of
the businessBincluding administration at HRI and as a multi-
lingual race commentatorBbefore his keen interest in pedigrees
and the sales scene led to he and Schwartz founding Creighton
Schwartz Bloodstock in 2011. The pair took on Salcey Forest
Stud around the same time for a handful of their own mares,
and it has since snowballed into a full-fledged commercial
operation.
While Creighton will likely be long associated with Laurens, he
said he is keen to prove that he isn=t a Aone-trick pony.@ Other
sales purchases include the G3 Cornwallis S. winner Abel Handy
(Ire) (Arcano {Ire}) and the Cornwallis-third Jouska (GB) (Cable
Bay {Ire}).
He also bought John Dance=s recent G1 Prix Morny third
Rhythm Master (Ire) (Dark Angel {Ire}), who was making his
second start after breaking his maiden first out. Creighton
described Dance as Agreat to work for.@
AHe loves being involved in the training of the horses,@
Creighton said. AAnd when it comes to buying horses we work
together very well. He's into statistics and numbers and he likes
to put things to an algorithm; I am more about looking at the
physical of the horse. He has been very supportive of mine and
Josh=s business and he's taken it to a different level. I have to
also give a mention to all the other clients that I have as well.
They've all been very good and most of them are very good
friends and we've had success with them, too.@
Goffs UK Premier Sale Cont. from p1
The Lir Jet would go on to finish second to fellow Premier
graduate Ventura Tormenta (Ire) (Acclamation {GB}) in the G2
Prix Robert Papin and was runner-up again in the G1 Keeneland
Phoenix S.
Such is the quality of last year=s Premier Sale intake, however,
that it could be someone other than The Lir Jet or Ventura
Tormenta who winds up top of the heap. Supremacy (Ire)
(Mehmas {Ire}) proved to be well-named with a four-length
score in the G2 Richmond S. on July 30 that earned him a rating
of 115. Cont. p4

Method (Ire) (Mehmas {Ire}) looked a smart type when taking
the Listed Rose Bowl S. at second asking in July, and the filly he
had beaten by 4 1/4 lengths on debut, Fev Rover (Ire) (Gutaifan
{Ire}), came roaring back to take the Listed Star S. and last
weekend won the G2 Prix du Calvados. These are among nine
graduates of last year=s Goffs UK Premier Yearling Sale to have
already won stakes, and they set a strong precedent for the 423
yearlings set to go under the hammer at this year=s edition of
the sale at Doncaster on Sept. 1 and 2.
AIt=s been a wonderful year on the track and we have a
wonderful bunch of horses,@ said Goffs UK=s Managing Director
Tim Kent. AIf we were in a normal year we=d be very confident
we=d have a wonderful sale but it=s difficult to know what to
expect with the way everything is going, but the market has held
up remarkably well in Europe up until now. The breeze-up sales
went better than anyone expected and the horses in training
sales have had plenty of demand. So we have to hope that
continues. We=re confident we have a nice draft of horses and
the stallion index is reading well. There have been a lot of
photos on social media and videos online and just looking at
those you think >blimey, that=s a nice horse...that=s a nice
horse...= and they=re by the right stallions and from some good
farms, so we=re hopeful it will all come together.@
Three of the sale=s likely heavyweights will come on day two,
beginning with a Starspangledbanner (Aus) half-brother to
Ventura Tormenta (lot 313) from Baroda Stud. Given the Group
2 update supplied by his elder brother, that one is likely to
provide a hefty return on the i40,000 paid by the Tweenhills
team Redwall Bloodstock at Goffs November last year.
Just a few lots later Salcey Forest Stud=s Cotai Glory half-sister
to A=Ali (lot 322) will grace the ring. And the very last horse
through the ring is likely to ensure that bidders stick around; he
is a full-brother to the 2016 sale topper and G3 Hackwood S.
winner Yafta (GB) (Dark Angel {Ire}) (lot 423) offered by
Highclere Stud, the same draft that sold Yafta as well as Golden
Horde here. Others that appeal on paper include a No Nay
Never daughter of the G3 Round Tower S. scorer Dingle View
(Ire) (Mujadil) (lot 170); and an Invincible Spirit (Ire) colt out of
G3 Firth Of Clyde S. winner Distinctive (GB) (Tobougg) (lot 173).

Rising Star sire Wootton Bassett is a Premier Sale graduate | Coolmore
Goffs UK Premier Sale Cont.
Additionally, there is a Kodiac (GB) filly out of a half-sister to
Equiano (Fr) (lot 195); a Night Of Thunder (Ire) colt out of a full-
sister to champion sprinter Fleeting Spirit (Ire) (Invincible Spirit
{Ire}) (lot 346); a Siyouni (Fr) filly out of a half-sister to GI
Breeders= Cup Filly & Mare Turf victress Queen=s Trust (GB)
(Dansili {GB}) (lot 361); and a Lope De Vega (Ire) son of the
Group 3-placed Royal Empress (Ire) (lot 380).
With the consequences of Britain=s low prizemoney levels
being increasingly felt, it is perhaps more important now than
ever to provide owners with incentive to get in or stay in the
game, and races like the ,180,000 Goffs UK Premier Yearling
Stakes open to all graduates of this sale can go some distance
towards that. The winner of this year=s contest at York on
Aug. 20 was the Dandy Man (Ire) filly Happy Romance (Ire), who
cost ,25,000 at Doncaster a year ago and is the first horse
owned by the McMurray family. It is likely no mistake, either,
that trainer Richard Hannon targets the race so heavily, and
Happy Romance gave him his fourth win in it in the past five
years. Happy Romance was scratched from Saturday=s G3
Prestige S. but will doubtless get her shot at black-type soon.
The Premier Yearling Sale S. has not only been taken by some
quality fillies, but also by three of the best colts to ever come
from the sale: Wootton Bassett (GB), Acclamation (GB) and the
latter=s son Dark Angel (Ire). That triumvirate sits atop a
burgeoning group of successful sires to have emanated from this
sale.
Acclamation was a ,33,000 purchase by his trainer Gerald
Cottrell in 2000 under this sale=s former guise as the St Leger
sale and was a member of the first crop of his sire Royal
Applause (GB). Acclamation capped a productive juvenile
campaign the following year with a victory in the ,200,000 St
Leger Yearling Stakes.
After an interrupted 3-year-old campaign he blossomed to
take the Listed Starlit S. and the G2 Diadem S. at four, but it was
in the breeding shed where his legacy was truly cemented.
While his best runner was the superstar sprinting filly Marsha
(GB), he has left behind a stacked roster of colts to carry on his
line, thus far led by Dark Angel and Equiano (Fr) and with this
year=s first-season sensation Mehmas (Ire) potentially poised to
join them. He can also lay claim to the very useful sires Lilbourne
Lad (Ire) and Harbour Watch (Ire), the latter of whom is
responsible for this season=s impressive G2 King Edward II S. and
G2 Great Voltigeur S. scorer Pyledriver (GB). And with young
horses like Aclaim (GB) and Expert Eye (GB) still to have their
first runners, the Acclamation sireline looks likely to continue to
thrive.
Dark Angel, meanwhile, has already firmly established his own
branch of the Acclamation line. Like Acclamation was, Dark
Angel was a member of the first crop of his own sire and was a
,61,000 purchase from the 2006 St Leger sale. He won the sales
race for trainer Barry Hills in 2007 before going on to take the
G2 Mill Reef S. and G1 Middle Park S. before retiring upon the
conclusion of his 2-year-old campaign. Dark Angel=s first crop,
interestingly, would include the G1 Diamond Jubilee and G1 July
Cup S. winner Lethal Force (Ire), the sire of current Goffs UK
Premier Yearling Sale poster boy Golden Horde. Cont. p6

THE BREEZE-UP SALES WENT BETTER
THAN ANYONE EXPECTED AND THE
HORSES IN TRAINING SALES HAVE HAD
PLENTY OF DEMAND. SO WE HAVE TO
HOPE THAT CONTINUES.Tim Kent
Goffs UK Premier Sale Cont.
Dark Angel looks in these early days to be making a similar
mark on the breed to his sire, with Gutaifan (Ire) proving his
prowess in his second year with runners and with Estidhkaar
(Ire) and Markaz (Ire) each having gotten off to a promising start
with his first runners this season.
And while his best runner to date, Battaash (Ire), will not get
the chance to pass on his genes as a gelding, Dark Angel still has
the Goffs UK graduate and champion sprinter Harry Angel (Ire)
waiting in the wings with his first foals this year. Another Group
1-winning sprinter to come from the sale with a chance to make
his mark as a sire is the Phoenix S., Commonwealth Cup and Prix
Maurice de Gheest scorer Advertise (GB), a ,60,000 graduate
who covered his first book at the National Stud this year.
Already a sire on the rise, Wootton Bassett is set to enter a
different stratosphere, having been purchased by Coolmore just
prior to getting his second Group 1 winner in the G1 Prix Jean
Romanet victress Audarya (Fr). A ,46,000 graduate of 2009,
Wootton Bassett won the sales race midway through a perfect
2-year-old career which was capped by a G1 Prix Jean-Luc
Lagardere score and French champion 2-year-old honours. With
Coolmore having pledged the support of its impeccable
broodmare band and with Wootton Bassett=s best son Almanzor
(Fr) set to have his first runners next year, there looks to be
plenty more to come in the Wootton Bassett story.
With such opportunities on the line, the shrewdest buyers will
not miss this week=s Goffs UK Premier Yearling Sale. And as the
first yearling sale during this pandemic-stricken season, all eyes
will be on the figures as an indication of what is to come.
AThe big thing for us will be clearance rate,@ said Kent. APeople
have brought these horses here to sell and we=re providing an
opportunity for that to happen. The way we=ll measure the sale
is going to be different; the normal metrics will go out the
window and it will be very much about clearance rate and feel.
AIf vendors are happy with what they=re achieving and
purchasers are saying they can=t buy horses, for us that=s a good
feel for this sale. We=re normally worried about comparative
metricsBaverage, turnover, median, that sort of thing. It=ll be
less about that this year and more about clearance rate and the
ability to get horses sold.@

Ross Doyle Q&A Cont.
KR: You have purchased four winners of the Goffs UK Premier
Yearling S. in the past five years, most recently Happy
Romance this year. Is that the kind of result you=re looking for
when you go to Doncaster, a
precocious horse who can collect
those kinds of purses early on?
RD: Its great when you can win
the race dedicated to a particular
sale; it confirms that our team
are doing a very good job
selecting the yearlings along with
the great job Richard Hannon and
his team have done with Happy
Romance. The Premier Sale is
known for precocious types but
you would hope they can train on
as 3-year-olds like Canford Cliffs,
Olympic Glory and Barney Roy,
for example, in the past.
KR: Happy Romance is the first horse raced by the McMurray
Family. How important is a result like that at a time when we
need to incentivize owners to stay involved and when
prizemoney levels are such a concern?
RD: Happy Romance is repaying her owners in spades
considering she cost ,25,000, not
only by winning the Weatherbys
Super Sprint but also the sales
race, taking her earnings to
,177,600 so far for the season.
It=s a huge help to get the owners
something back on their initial
investment which will hopefully
spur them on to reinvest during
these tough times for everybody.
KR: You have a long list of
successful purchases from the
Premier SaleBthe likes of
Canford Cliffs, Olympic Glory,
Tiggy Wiggy, Barney Roy, and
Ventura Tormenta most
recently. Can you tell us what you recall about some of those
horses at their times of purchase?
Cont. p8

Ross Doyle Q&A Cont.
RD: A lot of the horses you mentioned had a presence about
them, strong but balanced with good movement, temperament
and they all came from top nurseries. The team at Goffs UK
along with the vendors obviously do a fantastic job selecting the
right types to suit the sale.
KR: What first-season sires are you looking forward to seeing
the progeny of this year?
RD: On the back of our old friend Mehmas doing so well this
year with his first crop, it will be nice to see the Aclaims being by
Acclamation as well. I have seen some very nice yearlings on the
farms recently by Caravaggio, Churchill, Profitable and in
particular by Ribchester; they look very racy.
TELECASTER DOMINANT IN THE GRAND PRIX Patience has long been a particular virtue of Hughie Morrison and Sunday=s G2 Lucien Barriere Grand Prix de Deauville was testament to his ability to play the waiting game as Castle Down Racing=s Telecaster (GB) (New Approach {Ire}) fully came of age. Sent straight to the front by Christophe Soumillon, the 13-10 favourite whose previous foray to France had resulted in a four-
length success in ParisLongchamp=s G3 La Coupe June 25 was always content untroubled at the head of affairs on this deep surface.
Setting down for his plunge up the straight, the bay was on his own at the end of this 12 1/2-furlong feature as he powered to a 6 1/2-length verdict over last year=s runner-up Soft Light (Fr)
(Authorized {Ire}), who edged out last year=s winner Ziyad (GB)
(Rock of Gibraltar {Ire}) by 3/4 of a length.
AThere were doubts beforehand as to whether he would stay this distance or not, as he had run a moderate race over it in the Derby, and also about the ground but going down to the start he gave me a lot of confidence,@ Soumillon commented. AHe was very relaxed, so I decided to go on and he handled that very well--it was no effort for him. Turning for home, I had them covered and he quickened very nicely. Hughie Morrison is very good at handling older horses, which boosted my confidence.@
First coming to prominence when beating Too Darn Hot (GB)
(Dubawi {Ire}) on good-to-firm in York=s G2 Dante S. last May, Telecaster was last of the 13 to run in the Derby and beat only one rival on his only subsequent 3-year-old outing in Sandown=s G1 Eclipse S. Returning with an encouraging third behind the subsequent G1 Prince of Wales=s S. hero Lord North (Ire)
(Dubawi {Ire}) in the June 7 G3 Brigadier Gerard S. at Haydock, he stayed at that 10-furlong trip to gain a perfect confidence-
booster in the La Coupe before finishing fourth in the July 25

Morrison was not ruling out a tilt at the G1 Prix de l=Arc de
Triomphe and said, AHe was very raw mentally and physically
last year and anything after the Dante was always going to a big
step. He needed putting away for next year and thanks to the
patience of Mark Weinfeld and his sister Helena we were able to
do that. He=s always been a very exciting horse, but we were
concerned that the ground might be too deep for him.
Christophe says he can go on any ground, but he=s more
comfortable with a bit of cut. The Arc has exceptionals horses in
it this year and he would have to improve to feature--I=m not
saying he can=t or won=t, but it=s exciting to think he can be
considered in the same bracket as them.@
Pedigree Notes Telecaster is out of the stable=s talented but free-going
Shirocco Star (GB) (Shirocco {Ger}), who was runner-up in both
the G1 Epsom Oaks and G1 Irish Oaks, as well as the QIPCO
British Champions Fillies & Mares S. when it held Group 2 status
and was also third in the G1 Pretty Polly S. Her 2017 foal is
Godolphin=s classy 3-year-old Al Suhail (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}), who
recently took the Listed Sir Henry Cecil S. having finished runner-
up in the G3 Autumn S. and third in the G3 Solario S. last term.
The fourth dam Hyabella (GB) (Shirley Heights {GB}) is one of
four black-type winners out of the G2 Prix de l=Opera heroine
Bella Colora (GB) (Bellypha {Ire}).
She produced the G3 Rose of Lancaster S. winner Poet (GB)
(Pivotal {GB}) who relished testing ground. Bella Colora is kin to
the G1 Irish Oaks heroine and excellent producer Colorspin (GB)
(High Top {Ire}) and the G1 Champion S. hero Cezanne (GB)
(Ajdal) from the immediate dam line of the great matriarch
Reprocolor (GB) (Jimmy Reppin {GB}). Also connected to the G1
Irish 2000 Guineas runner-up and G3 Tetrarch S.-winning sire
France (GB) (Desert Prince {Ire}), the dam has a filly foal by
Frankel (GB) to come.

i65,000 at last year=s Arqana
St-Cloud Arc Sale was the subject
of an unusual move here as he
was taken across the track to find
livelier ground. That was decisive,
as the 17-10 favourite was always
comfortably on top and stretched
away in the closing stages to
record a 3 1/2-length success from We Ride the World (Ire)
(Orpen).
AThis was his target and Mickael had walked the course
beforehand and insisted that it is much better on the far side,
like it was in the Grand Handicap de Deauville,@ the owners=
representative Pauline Chehboub said. AHe travelled very nicely
and quickened well--he deserved that win.@
Stunning Spirit has been at this festival on three previous
occasions when in training with Freddy Head, finishing fourth in
the G3 Prix de Meautry over six furlongs in 2017, a close third in
this a year later and second when
again tried in this behind Skalleti
(Fr) (Kendargent {Fr}) 12 months
ago. This year, he had won
Doha=s Irish Thoroughbred
Marketing Cup, which was a local
Group 2, over a mile Feb. 21 and
been third over seven furlongs in
the G3 Prix du Palais-Royal at
Clairefontaine May 28 and G3
Prix de la Porte Maillot at
ParisLongchamp June 25.
Pauline Cherbourg is hopeful
there is still time for him to gain a
stallion posting somewhere. AWith his pedigree and race record,
one day he deserves to stand as a sire but in the meantime he
will be entered in the [G2] Prix Wildenstein and [G2] Dollar and
there is Doha again in February,@ she added. AAs long as he
shows he wants to run, we=ll probably keep going.@ Cont. p11

BREATHTAKING LOOK ON TOP IN FRANCE Stuart Williams trainee Breathtaking Look (GB) (Bated Breath
{GB}) emerged from the handicap ranks to garner last term=s G3
Sceptre S. at Doncaster and broke a six-race winless streak with
a game success, ploughing through deep mud, in Sunday=s G3
Barriere Prix de Meautry at Deauville. The 5-year-old had been
in the money in five outings this year, falling short in Royal
Ascot=s June 20 G1 Diamond Jubilee S., and went postward for
this first overseas venture coming off a fourth in Goodwood=s
July 31 G3 Oak Tree S. and a second in Newbury=s Aug. 15 G2
Hungerford S. last time. She had previously run subsequent G1
July Cup hero Oxted (GB) (Mayson {GB}) to a length when
second in June=s G3 Abernant S. at Newmarket. The eventual
winner was swiftly into stride and stalked the fast-breaking Air
de Valse (Fr) (Mesnil des Aigles {Fr}) in second beyond halfway
in the straight six-furlong contest. Coming under pressure to
tackle that rival with 300 metres remaining, the 7-10 favourite
was ridden clear inside the final eighth to hit the line with a
3 1/2-length advantage. Air de Valse kept on resolutely once
headed to withstand the late rally of Marieta (Fr) (Siyouni {Fr}),
by 1 1/2 lengths, for second with eight lengths and more back to
the remainder.
AShe came into the race with a good record in England and the
[heavy] ground didn=t seem to be of concern for her trainer,@
said winning rider Pierre-Charles Boudot.

He added, ASix furlongs over that ground for a mare who had
done well over seven [furlongs] seemed ideal. All the signs were
positive for her to win again and she delivered nicely. She is very
tough and never gave up.@
AWe were very hopeful beforehand, but the only worry we had
was that it didn=t stop raining the whole time she was there,@
added Stuart Williams. AThe staff said it has poured down for 24
hours and I thought they might switch it off the turf onto the all-
weather track because it was that wet. She=d run well on soft
ground before, but we didn=t really know about that [heavy]
ground. She stays seven, she won a Group 3 over seven last year
and she=s done it really well.@ Looking ahead, the trainer added,
AI think we=ll try and go back to the [G3] Sceptre S. at Doncaster,
which she won last year, and I should imagine that will be her
next run. Her owner=s very enthusiastic and I think he=d like to
breed from her next year so it=s nice to get her Group 3 win this
year.@

HAPPY POWER EDGES THE SUPREME Beaten under two lengths when fourth in the G1 Sussex S. and
under a length when third in the G2 Celebration Mile last term,
King Power Racing=s Happy Power (Ire) (Dark Angel {Ire}) proved
his liking for Goodwood when getting a first pattern-race
success in Sunday=s G3 Ladbrokes Supreme S. Keeping tabs on
the leader Toro Strike (Toronado {Ire}) throughout, the 9-4
favourite was sent past that fellow Goodwood specialist by
Silvestre de Sousa with a furlong remaining and battled gamely
to prevail by neck, with Escobar (Ire) (Famous Name {GB}) a
length away in third.
AThe race didn=t worked out as I expected--I was determined
to jump out and go forward and do my own work from the
front, but he got a bit upset in the gate and didn=t start well,@ de
Sousa explained. AThey didn=t go very fast, so I was able to catch
up and he felt like he was just doing enough in front. It=s just
very tiring ground and hard work and I couldn=t go any quicker
than the speed I was going at the finish.@

DUBAWI=S SISTER TO JOURNEY A NEW
RISING STAR Granted a much easier task after the 15-8 market-leader Lucid
Dreamer (GB) (Dansili {GB}) refused to enter the stalls, George
Strawbridge=s Indigo Girl (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}) nevertheless cut a
real dash on debut as she earned TDN Rising Star status at
Yarmouth on Sunday. Due to start the 10-3 second favourite for
the Norfolk venue=s British Stallion Studs EBF Fillies= Novice S.
over a mile with Khalid Abdullah=s Lucid Dreamer having
registered a promising debut win at Kempton, the full-sister to
former celebrity Journey (GB) was slowly away and last of the
five remaining runners throughout the early stages. Rab Havlin
was cajoling at halfway, but the John Gosden trainee picked up
impressively to surge to the lead with 1 1/2 furlongs to race
before staying on strongly under hand riding to record a
three-length verdict over Final Thought (Ire) (Sea the Stars
{Ire}), with Mystery Show (Ire) (Showcasing {GB}) half a length
away in third.
AShe wears a hood, as she can be a bit lively at home but
actually she was really well-behaved today,@ her rider
commented. AWe thought she might do things back-to-front, as
her sister used to and it took her a long time to settle, but she
was nice and relaxed and there was a lot left in the tank at the
end. She was racing behind the bridle, but when I showed her
daylight she picked up through the gears and off she went. The
ground is a bit dead, but she handled it well and switched off.
Her sister was at her best over a mile and a quarter and a mile
and a half, so hopefully she=ll get that sort of trip--it's definitely
within her compass if she switches off like she did here.@
Journey, who also sported a hood throughout most of her
career, enjoyed her finest hour when beating the high-class
Speedy Boarding (GB) (Shamardal) by four lengths in the 2016
G1 QIPCO British Champions Fillies & Mares S. She first burst on
to the scene when making all in dynamic fashion to take
Newmarket=s Listed Princess Royal S. by eight lengths in
September 2015 prior to finishing runner-up on her first tilt at
Ascot=s Champions Fillies & Mares. She also won the Princess
Royal the following season and Haydock=s G3 Pinnacle S. and

DELIA BUSHELL RESIGNS FROM THE
JOCKEY CLUB Jockey Club Group Chief Executive Delia Bushell, who was appointed to her post last July, has resigned from The Jockey
Club, Sporting Life reported on Sunday afternoon. A review
found evidence to support allegations of bullying coworkers
and racist comments. A report was submitted by an independent barrister to the sub-committee of the board last week. In her place, The Jockey Club has appointed Nevin Truesdale the acting group chief executive.
AThe board of The Jockey Club announces today that Delia Bushell is to stand down as group chief executive with immediate effect,@ The Jockey Club said in a statement to the PA news agency. AThis follows the completion of an independent review into a wide range of allegations about her conduct, which the board concluded made it untenable for her to continue in the role.
AAs part of this review, an independent barrister interviewed 19 witnesses including Delia. He submitted a detailed report to a sub-committee of the board comprising Dido Harding, Julia Budd and Justin Dowley on Sunday 23rd Aug. in which he concluded that there was evidence to support a number of the allegations of misconduct including bullying behaviour towards colleagues, inappropriate racist comments and sharing offensive materials.
AThe sub-committee of the board agreed with his conclusion and decided that there was a basis for disciplinary action against Delia including on the grounds of gross misconduct. This recommendation was accepted by the full board of The Jockey Club.@

AIt is massive [becoming retained rider for Sheikh Hamdan]. I
felt very fortunate to get the job. When I was champion jockey
that probably got me noticed. It is a dream come true and touch

The Shadwell colours have been firmly in the limelight this

(Sea The Stars {Ire}) and Enbihaar (Ire) (Redoute=s Choice {Aus}),
a MGSW who won the G2 Lonsdale Cup S. at York last out.
Crowley is not resting on his laurels, however, and said,
AWe=ve got some lovely horses coming through at the moment
and I=m a big fan of Enbihaar and hopefully they just keep
coming. It=s not easy as some big operations have lean years, but
at the moment we are having a good run. It=s not impossible to
get 3,000. It might seem a long way away now stood here, but
so did 2,000 and so did 1,000. We will keep batting away and
see where we end up.

Saint-Cloud listed affair as a 2-year-old in September of 2019.
AShe is in the Blandford on Sept. 13, but that might come a bit
quick and she would have a penalty in that,@ said Fanshawe. AI

Salonlove posted an Aug. 15 debut fourth going 6 1/2 furlongs
at Cologne in her only prior start and stepped forward to claim a
first win of any kind in this black-type bow. Positioned along the
fence in a close-up third after an alert getaway, she was slightly
awkward when angled outside passing the quarter-mile marker
and kept on strongly under mainly whipless rousting in the
closing stages to break through in impressive fashion.
AShe looked like a big baby when she ran first time, but she has
improved a lot in her morning work since that run,@ said winning
rider Clement Lecoeuvre. AShe=s a nice filly and, hopefully, she
can improve some more.@

venue last time and was quickly away to occupy a handy role
along the rail in third from the outset here. Making headway in
the straight to loom large with 300 metres remaining, the 8-5
chalk was shaken up for control soon after and ridden out to
comfortably hold Augustinus (Ger) (Territories {Ire}) by 1 1/4

PHOENIX BUYS UP STAKE IN PIERATA
By Bren O'Brien
Phoenix Thoroughbreds has purchased a significant stake in
Aquis Farm=s first-season stallion Pierata, adding to its existing
involvement in fellow first-season stallion Exceedance, who
stands at Vinery, as well as young Aquis stallion Invader.
In what has been a period of significant deal-making for
Phoenix, its investment in Pierata, the Group 1-winning son of
Pierro who debuts at Aquis New South Wales farm at $44,000
(inc GST) this spring, comes days after it and Aquis sold
promising 3-year-old Prague (Redoute's Choice) to Kia Ora Stud.
Kia Ora also recently took a share in Phoenix
Thoroughbreds-bred G1 Golden Slipper S. winner Farnan (Not A
Single Doubt), which the pair will continue to race in partnership
with Aquis. The Pierata deal strengthens the connection
between Aquis, with the two outfits racing several other colts in
partnership, including Saturday's G3 Ming Dynasty S. winner
Holyfield (I Am Invincible).
Aquis and Phoenix have purchased 11 yearlings in partnership
in the past three years, while the pair came together to secure
Snitzel's Group 1-winning son Invader in 2018, and he has
served two seasons with Aquis.
Phoenix has already booked two mares to Pierata this year
with the likelihood that there will be several other of its
30-strong band to support him in 2020 and beyond. The quality
of the Phoenix band is likely to be bolstered by recent retiree
Loving Gaby (I Am Invincible), a dual Group 1 winner.
AWe are thrilled to have bought into such an exciting young
stallion. When the opportunity arose, we jumped at the chance
to be involved," Phoenix Thoroughbreds CEO Amer Abdulaziz
said. "You only have to glance at his race record to see what a
talent he was on the track and as a son of Pierro, we are
confident he can follow in his father=s hoofprints as a leading
stallion. We will be supporting him with plenty of our mares as
well as in the sales ring.
AIt=s extra special we get to face this exciting future with Aquis
who have been fantastic partners. We have had plenty of
success together and we are confident that will continue long
into the future.@
Aquis, Australia's fastest growing stud operation over the past
five years, will stand 18 stallions in 2020 across its Queensland,
New South Wales and Victorian base.
Aquis' Managing Director Shane McGrath said the Pierata deal
would be of huge benefit to the young stallion.
AAs MD of Aquis Farm it is indeed a privilege to welcome
Phoenix as our partners in Pierata. Phoenix have invested
heavily in the Australian breeding industry and with their quality
breeding stock we are confident Pierata will benefit greatly from
our partnership,@ he said.
Phoenix recently issued a statement saying it was fully
committed to its bloodstock and racing interests in Australia.

The statement was prompted by its decision to step away from
racing horses in the United Kingdom, and reports that it had
been effectively locked out of French racing after court
testimony in New York linked Abdulaziz to the OneCoin
cryptocurrency scandal.
Aquis and Phoenix could be set for a massive spring with
Farnan, which they co-purchased for $600,000 as a yearling
after he was bred by Phoenix, currently second favourite for the
G1 Golden Rose S. Trained by Gai Waterhouse and Adrian Bott,
Farnan was super impressive in winning a recent Randwick trial
with ease.
Holyfield, who is trained by Ciaron Maher and David Eustace,
has emerged as a serious Spring contender after his impressive
all-the-way win in the Ming Dynasty S. Bred and sold by
Segenhoe Stud, the colt out of Group 1-winning mare Hurtle
Myrtle (Dane Shadow) cost Aquis and Phoenix $800,000 at last
year's Magic Millions Gold Coast Yearling Sale.

first place in the 2019 GI Kentucky Derby, co-owner Gary West
told TDN that even though he disagreed with the ruling, Ait is
time to move on and the decision will not be appealed.@
Country House (Lookin At Lucky), of course, has been
considered the winner of the 2019 Derby ever since he was
elevated from second to first via the DQ process. So this latest
judgment changes nothing regarding the already-official results.
The court ruling also does not mean that the Churchill Downs
stewards got the call right. The three-judge panel simply
affirmed that the plaintiffs had no legal basis to challenge the
outcome.
What the ruling does mean is that another precedent will get
entered into the law books underscoring how hard it is (and
should be) to get a judge in a court of law to overturn a
field-of-play ruling by an umpire, referee, or board of stewards.
And the decision by Gary and Mary West to not pursue further
legal action does finally lift the miasma of litigious dread that
descends whenever sports and the courts collide.

The Week in Review (cont. from p1)
The Kentucky Horse Racing Commission (whose members and
executive director Marc Guilfoil were defendants in the lawsuit
along with chief state steward Barbara Borden, state steward
Brooks AButch@ Becraft, and Churchill Downs steward Tyler
Picklesimer), issued a statement after the Aug. 28 judgment in
which Guilfoil said the stewards= decision to DQ Maximum Security
was Aan easy call to make, but a tough day to make it on.@
An Aeasy@ call? I respectfully disagree.
Easy DQ calls in stewards= booths don=t take 22 minutes to
adjudicate. Nor do they customarily keep getting debated 16
months after the fact.
To this day you can find a balanced mix of supporters and
detractors on both sides of the Derby DQ decision. It was a
difficult call then and it remains difficult now even with the
benefit of hindsight. Let=s not revise history to make it seem
otherwise.
As the 2019 Derby gets nudged into the rear-view mirror, it=s
important not to lose focus of what was happening on the
macro level within our industry when the Churchill stewards
decided to make the first disqualification of a winner for an
in-race foul in 145 runnings of the Derby.
No sports official (or board of stewards) ever wants to be the
arbiter whose judgment call alters the outcome of a big game or
race. In America, there=s always been an unwritten rule that
officials Alet the players play@ in crucial contests, even though
referees, umpires, and stewards rarely admit it.
Coupled with that, the Kentucky Derby itself has always had a
high bar when it comes to whether or not the stewards could or
should step in to alter the running order. This dates at least back
to the 1933 AFighting Finish@ in the pre-replay era, when Brokers
Tip nosed Head Play after their jockeys grabbed and whipped
each other in the stretch run. Cont. p4
TDN HEADLINE NEWS • PAGE 4 OF 9 • THETDN.COM MONDAY • AUGUST 31, 2020
A foul claim by the runner-up rider was dismissed and the
result stood, although both jockeys were later suspended 30
days each.
In more modern times, the 20-horse Derby has become known
as an anything-goes cavalry charge into the first turn in which
jockeys know they have considerable leeway to ride with more
assertiveness because the stakes are so high.
But 2019 was the year when the Derby was run under
shell-shocked circumstances because the sport was reeling in
the wake of the 30-horse fatality crisis that shut down racing at
Santa Anita Park. Tracks nationwide were under intensified
scrutiny, and in the week leading up to the Derby, the sport was
being called out and protested against over equine safety issues.
It was impossible to ignore the national headlines that blared
AHorse Deaths Are Haunting the Racing World Ahead of the
Kentucky Derby@ (Time magazine), AAt the Kentucky Derby,
Prayers for a Safe Race@ (New York Times) and AHorse Safety at
the Kentucky Derby has officials >On the Edge of a Razor Blade=@
(Louisville Courier-Journal).
In fact, Guilfoil himself told the Courier-Journal the day before
the before the 2019 Derby that, AWe realize we=re under a
microscope.@
So while a subconscious ALet >em play@ mindset might have
previously been the unspoken norm for officiating a big race, the
over-arching context of the 2019 Derby was rooted in the
hyper-aware context of safety.
As the nation watched slo-mo replay after replay of the
narrowly averted pile-up off the far turn in the Derby, the
Churchill stewards surely, at some level, must have recognized
that if they didn=t make a call that doled out punishment for the
near-disaster, it wouldn=t mesh with the safety-centric image
the industry had been trying to hammer home on many levels.
Did they get the call correct? That=s always going to be up for
debate.
But let the record reflect that Maximum Security=s historic DQ
was as much a product of the sport trying to come to grips with
the enormous pressures of maintaining safety in an inherently
dangerous setting as it had to do with the colt=s shifting and
drifting while leading the pack off the final turn in the Derby.

Derby Doings (cont. from p1)
Attachment Rate is coming off a runner-up effort behind Art
Collector (Bernardini) in the Aug. 9 Runhappy Ellis Park Derby.
AI thought his race at Ellis made him worthy of trying the
Derby,@ trainer Dale Romans said. AThis was his second work
back from that race and we wanted to put a nice five-eighths
move in him.@
Attachment Rate was third in the Mar. 7 GIII Gotham S. and
second in the Unbrided S. at Gulfstream Park Apr. 25.
He was fourth in the May 23 GIII Matt Winn S. and fifth in the
July 11 GII Toyota Blue Grass S.
AHe ran well over the winter in both the Gotham and the
Unbridled,@ Romans said. AHe hung in there pretty well to finish
second behind Art Collector at Ellis.@
Jim and Donna Daniell=s Rushie (Liam=s Map) will skip the
Derby in favor of Saturday=s GII Pat Day Mile, while trainer Todd
Pletcher confirmed Sunday that Bob LaPenta and Bortolazzo
Stable=s Money Moves (Candy Ride {Arg}) will start in the Run
for the Roses.
AThe horse ran well last time and he's been training sharply,@
Pletcher said. AI felt like this is an opportunity that you don=t get
very often, so we=re taking a shot.@
Money Moves opened his career with a pair of wins at
Gulfstream Park this past spring and missed by just a neck when
second stretched to nine furlongs in a Saratoga optional claimer
against older rivals July 25. AHe got sick after his win at
Gulfstream, so he missed some time, and to run a mile and an
eighth off the layoff, I thought he showed a lot of determination
in that race,@ Pletcher said. AIt=s a tall order, but he=s given us all
the right indications that he=s ready to step up and give it a try.@
Money Moves, who will be making his stakes debut in the
Derby, worked five furlongs at Saratoga Friday in 1:00.14
(10/17).

MASTERY=S FIRST YEARLINGS GAINING
PRE-SALE TRACTION by Katie Ritz
Since the start of sales season last fall, comments have
circulated on how Mastery could be the dark horse in his class of
first-crop yearling sires.
There are many unknowns about the son of Candy Ride (Arg),
as he may have never reached his full potential on the track
when an injury forced him to retire prematurely. But his four-
for-four career starts had garnered talk of GI Kentucky Derby
favoritism after dominant performances in the GI Los Alamitos
CashCall Futurity and the GII San Felipe S.
Now in the stud barn at Claiborne Farm, he=s gained attention
early on in his career. His weanling average of $153,272, with
22 of 28 sold, placed him near the top of his class by weanling
averages with a $25,000 stud fee.
His leading weanling, a filly named Shes Bout a Mover, is a
half-sister to GIW Nereid (Rock Hard Ten) and sold to agent
Andre Lynch at the Keeneland January Sale for $365,000. Earlier
in the season, a colt out of Native One (Indian Charlie) and from
the same family as GI Breeders= Cup Sprint Champion Mitole
(Eskendereya) sold for $325,000 at the Fasig-Tipton November
Sale.
AHe=s one of two stallions that stood out to me from the group
of first-crop stallions at the sales last year,@ said Stonehaven
Steadings= Aidan O=Meara. AThe Masterys have a little more
frame and size to them than I would have expected with the sire
line. He=s a decent-sized horse himself and after what he did in
the San Felipe, we never got to see him do a whole lot more, but
the raw brilliance was there. He=s been producing the physicals
that people are looking for and is putting himself in a good
position going forward to be the real deal.@

First-crop yearling sire Mastery at Claiborne Farm
Yearling Mastery colt out of Janis=s Joy | Jennifer Keeler
O=Meara found one Mastery weanling at the Fasig-Tipton
November Sale that he couldn=t leave without. Stonehaven
Steadings went to $240,000 for a colt out of the stakes-placed
Broken Vow mare Janis=s Joy.
AI thought he was one of the top three foals I saw last year,@
O=Meara said. AWe loved him. He was a big, beautifully-framed
foal and looked like a horse with a lot of potential going
forward.@
The yearling is now slated for the Keeneland September Sale
as Hip 1021.
AHe=s developing into the horse you hoped he would,@
O=Meara reported. AHe=s a big, two-turn colt. He=s a magnificent
physical specimen and mentally, he=s solid as a rock. He has that
intangible, special way about him that separates your average
good-looking horse with something that has legitimate class.
He=s probably going to be our top physical at the sale and will be
a standout in Book Two.@
An additional 67 Mastery yearlings are catalogued for the
Keeneland September Sale. At the Fasig-Tipton Selected
Yearlings Showcase, 14 of his offspring will be featured,
including Hip 194, a filly out of GISW and stakes producer Last
Full Measure (Empire Maker), as well as Hip 350, a filly out of
GI Breeders= Cup Filly and Mare Turf Champion Shared Account
(Pleasantly Perfect) and a half-sister to last year=s GI Breeders=
Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf winner Sharing (Speightstown).
Claiborne=s Bernie Sams spoke on the quality he saw in the
mares from Mastery=s first books, and how that has reflected
onto this first class of yearlings.
AWe bred 139 mares to him the first year, and a couple mares
that were in there were the dams of Sharing and of Monomoy
Girl (Tapizar). So he got good support for a horse that stands for
$25,000. I=ve gotten good reports on the yearlings and the few
I=ve seen have been really nice. They=ve been very athletic, well-
conformed, a good size with plenty of bone to them.@
Sams said that an additional 143 and 137 mares were in
Mastery=s next two books.
AHe=s been very popular with the breeders,@ Sams said. AHe=s a
good-looking horse, obviously he=s very much Candy Ride. I
think people like the pedigree.@
His dam, Steady Course (Old Trieste), was picked up by Arthur
Hancock for $20,000 at the 2009 Keeneland November Sale.
AShe was barren at the time, but it=s a really good family and
she was a big, strong, good-looking mare,@ Hancock recalled. AI
thought I=d probably have to pay a little more. I actually came to
find out Garrett O=Rourke at Juddmonte was going to bid on her,
but he got stuck in traffic.@
A few months later, Steady Course=s first foal Clear Sailing
(Empire Maker) became a stakes winner, but Hancock didn=t
have much luck with the mare in her first few years at Stone
Farm until he bred her to Candy Ride in 2013.
Hancock noted, AMy dad had a saying, >A good bull is half your
herd, and a bad bull is all of it. I wanted to breed her to a good
bull and Candy Ride is a good stallion. Mastery was a grand-
looking foal.@
Mastery sold for $425,000 at the Keeneland September Sale to
Cromwell Bloodstock as agent for Everett Dobson=s Cheyenne
Stables. He was sent to Bob Baffert and burst onto the scene
when he broke his maiden on debut by over four lengths in
October of his 2-year-old season. He continued by taking three
consecutive graded stakes wins in the GIII Bob Hope S., the
GI Los Alamitos CashCall Futurity and the GII San Felipe S. by
over a combined 15 lengths.
AHe became a really good racehorse,@ Hancock said. AI think
Baffert thought he had a big shot to win the Derby until he got
an injury and went to stud after that. And now, we wait and see
what happens.@
While it won=t be a long wait before Mastery=s progeny have
the opportunity to prove their worth on the track, Hancock
patiently monitors the development of Mastery=s full-brother
who was born in late May this year.

Letruska | Sarah Andrew
AHe=s a really nice colt and his looks speak for themselves.@
Hancock nods to the rolling pasture of his Stone Farm and said,
AHe=s always running around out there and who knows? These
fields here, not me but these fields, have raised three Kentucky
Derby winners, two others who were second and seven who
were in the Derby. If I stay out of his way, maybe he=ll develop
into something.@

German Larrea=s St. George Stables and Fausto Gutierrez, a
leading owner/trainer team in Mexico, set up a U.S.-base at
Palm Meadows this winter and the operation celebrated graded
stakes success at Saratoga Sunday when Letruska went wire-to-
wire in the GIII Shuvee S. The bay filly assumed control heading
into the first turn and was loose through a quarter in :23.05 and
a half in :46.20. She scampered farther clear on the far turn,
blazing through three-quarters in 1:09.51. In front by five
lengths turning for home, she held on grimly despite drifting in
and out down the lane as Royal Flag closed strongly along the
rail in the final strides.
AShe=s fast,@ jockey Joel Rosario said of the winner. AShe always
fires, but at a mile and an eighth, I didn=t know. But she kept
fighting. I always planned to have a little more left for the end. It
looks like she runs that way, she likes to go. She did it well on
her own.@
Gutierrez added, AShe=s a very special horse because she has a
lot of speed. Going :46 at this distance at this track is very fast.
She=s very special and has a great career in front of her.@
Letruska, who began her career with six straight victories,
including a pair of Group 1 tallies, and was tabbed champion 3-
year-old filly in Mexico last year. She opened her U.S. campaign
with a front-running 4 1/4-length victory in the restricted Copa
Invitacional del Caribe S. Dec. 9 at Gulfstream. Well beaten
when trying the turf for the first time in the Tropical Park Oaks
Dec. 28, she returned to capture an Oaklawn optional claimer
Apr. 16 and two starts later won the Added Elegance S. at
Gulfstream June 27. She pressed Serengeti Empress
(Alternation) on the pace before tiring to fifth in the seven-
furlong GI Ballerina S. last time out Aug. 8.
AAfter the last race in Miami [the Added Elegance], when she
went in :23 and :44 in the one-mile race, I had the idea she
could go seven furlongs,@ Gutierrez said. AI tried to go to the
Breeders= Cup with her [via the Ballerina, a >Win and You=re In=
race for the F/M Sprint]. I know it=s a big jump, bigger step, and
the Ballerina was the only race to give me that perception. That
was a very difficult race and the filly was very nervous here in
the paddock.@
Gutierrez, who was winning his first U.S. graded race, said
Letruska relished Sunday=s added distance and her victory has
him plotting a course to the GI Breeders= Cup Distaff through the
Oct. 4 GI Juddmonte Spinster S. at Keeneland.
AI think the next step would be at Keeneland in a Grade I for
the Breeders= Cup. Two turns is perfect for her,@ he said.

Fausto Gutierrez welcomes Letruska back to winner=s circle | Sarah Andrew
Gutierrez continued, AShe=s a filly that needs speed and
distance. This is obvious in her races here and in Mexico. In
Mexico, she doesn't have the big competition, but she made
very good times. I think this is the kind of race she can run. I
don=t know how many fillies can go with her in :46.
St. George Stable and Gutierrez also campaigns Mexican
champion Kukulkan (Mex) (Point Determined), who was second
in last year=s GIII West Virginia Governor=s S.
Pedigree Notes:
St. George Stable purchased Magic Appeal, with Letruska in
utero, for $100,000 at the 2015 Keeneland November sale. The
13-year-old mare produced a colt by Hard Spun in 2019 and a
colt by Arrogate in 2020. She was bred back to Malibu Moon.
Magic Appeal is a half-sister to Kid Majic (Lemon Drop Kid),
dam of Canadian champion Miss Mischief (Into Mischief). Kid
Majic=s unraced Rosemonde (Indian Charlie) produced multiple
Grade I placed Rowayton (Into Mischief). Magic Appeal is also a
full-sister to Grade I winner J P=s Gusto.
Letruska=s third dam, Malibu Magic, produced Pacific Spell
(Langfuhr), dam of champion Proud Spell (Proud Citizen).

KETNER SWEEPS NJ THOROUGHBRED
FESTIVAL CARDby Brian DiDonato
Dr. Mark Ketner was celebrating a rare feat at the conclusion
of Monmouth=s New Jersey Thoroughbred Festival Sunday--the
Colts Neck-based vet foaled all 10 winners on the card.
AIt was pretty crazy,@ Ketner said. AWe have kind of an unusual
practice. I have a farm practice with a racetrack practice based
here in Monmouth County. Most of the Jersey-breds are foaled
here in Monmouth County, and we=ve just been lucky enough to
have some of the same farms for many years--they=re all good
farms and they=re all right here.@
Highlights of the card included Prendimi (Dance With
Ravens)=s head victory over favorite Golden Brown (Offlee Wild)
in the Charles Hesse III H. for older males around two turns;
heavy favorite Liz=s Cable Girl (Cable Boy)=s seventh win at
Monmouth and second in the Eleven North H. to increase the
6-year-old mares earnings to more than $500,000; and in-form
Royal Urn (Kantharos)=s runaway victory in the New Jersey
Breeders H. for sprinters.
AI=m just very fortunate to have good associates who help at
the farms,@ said Ketner, who also noted that he foaled two

Five-year-old Prendimi=s dam Cigno d=Oro (Tour d=Or)
completed a double of her own, as her 3-year-old son Our Man
Luke (Redeemed) broke his maiden one race after the Hesse.
Both horses were bred and owned by Jon Coles=s GJ Stable and
trained by Luis Carvajal, Jr., who also saddled Don=s Marsh (Don
Six) to an optional claiming victory two races later. Coles and
Carvajal campaigned Cigno d=Oro to seven career wins and
earnings of more than $372,000.

Dragon=s Brew parlayed a maiden win over this surface earlier
in the month to a black-type score in Woodbine=s Simcoe S.
Sunday. Taken back to eighth through a highly contested
opening quarter in :22.74, Dragon=s Brew took aim at the
leading flight and started to whittle away at the dividing gap
following a half in :45.39. Moving well while swinging out five
wide turning for home, the gelding effortlessly swept into the
lead and crossed the wire a much-the-best winner over All
Canadian with Took a Wrong Turn farther back in third.
AHe=s no bigger than a muskrat, but he=s got heart, he=s got

Muskoka S. cont.
Asked for her bid with 2 1/2 furlongs left to travel, she looped
the field very wide out in the center of the track. Finding more
as favored For My Elbi began to run out of steam, El Bayern
swept by that foe to win going away, breaking her maiden and
her black-type duck simultaneously.
ATo be honest, I didn=t love the 10-hole,@ said hoop Sheena
Ryan. AI don=t think anyone loves that post with a first-timer, but
we=ve done a lot of work with the filly and Mike and Stacey and
their team have done a good job getting her ready so I figured
we=ve got a shot.
AEverybody was going [at the start] and I thought I=d just save
some ground because we=re way out there. She got some good
[racing] experience, got some [Tapeta] in the face and she didn=t
even care, she just drove into it. She came around and finished
like she does in her works, so I was really impressed.@
Since foaling the winner, El Tara has a yearling colt by Silent
Name (Jpn) and a filly of this year by Seattle Serenade. Under

filled the same spot in a sloppy optional claimer at this venue
Aug. 2. Third choice in the wagering, Estilo Talentoso established
a half-length advantage from the bell while under pressure from
Crumb Bun to her outside. Her lead increased to a length after a
half in :46.93, but Crumb Bun came right back leaving the
straight, and only inside the final 50 yards did the Mile High

Heavily favored in the Hawkeyes S., Flat Out Speed perched
fourth about four paths off the fence behind an opening quarter
of :23.30. She moved up into third without exerting herself and
was already breathing down the leaders= necks as noses pointed
toward home. Seizing the lead shortly thereafter, she edged to
the front and held on to win in determined fashion.
A two-time black-type winner facing off with Iowa-breds last
term, the dark bay was riding a three-racing winning streak into
the Hawkeyes H., having won the restricted Bob Bryant S. in late
June, the GIII Iowa Oaks in July and an allowance locally Aug. 2.

GANDY DANCING (c, 3, Flatter--Wild Grace, by Forest Wildcat)
was an easy winner in his career bow against Empire breds going
six furlongs at Aqueduct in March before returning with an
eighth against New York-bred company in the seven-panel Mike
Lee S. at Belmont June 14. Cutting back a furlong for his latest
start upstate, he was an improved second and was backed down
to 6-5 favoritism to go one better this time. Fifth through :21.94
and :44.74 fractions, he tipped out three wide on the turn and
took over in the lane en route to a 2 1/4-length victory over
Harris Bay (Carpe Diem). Dam Wild Grace, a granddaughter of
GISW Fantastic Find (Mr. Prospector), is also responsible for a
