BEST OF BOTH WORLDS

by Steve Sherack

It would be awfully difficult to script a better homecoming

than this.

Kiaran McLaughlin--a three-time leading conditioner in Dubai

and trainer of 2007 G1 World Cup hero Invasor (Arg)--returns to

the desert with a four-pronged challenge Saturday, headed by

Frosted (Tapit) in the

world’s richest race. He

will also be extremely

well-represented on the

World Cup’s blockbuster

undercard with

Confrontation (War Pass)

(G1 Dubai Golden

Shaheen) as well as ‘TDN

Rising Stars’ Lady

Shipman (Midshipman)

(G1 Al Quoz Sprint) and Marking (Bernardini) (G2 Godolphin

Mile).

After calling Dubai home for the better part of a decade as

trainer for the Maktoum family while splitting his time in New

York, McLaughlin relocated permanently back to the U.S. in

2003. How important is it to him to be able to compete on an

evening like this again?

“It means a lot,” McLaughlin replied. “It’s really great to have a

chance to win with something on the night again this year,

whether it’s Lady Shipman, Marking, Confrontation or Frosted.”

Cont. p3

by Bill Finley

The main story last week was not a horse but a trainer. Bob

Baffert, fresh off a sweep of the Triple Crown, probably doesn’t

have another American Pharoah (Pioneerof the Nile) in his barn,

but he will be well represented in the GI Kentucky Derby. Baffert

won both 3-year-old preps last weekend, taking the GII Rebel S.

with Cupid (Tapit) and the Sunland Festival of Racing S. with

Collected (City Zip). Baffert doesn’t have a starter in this

weekend’s major prep, the GII Louisiana Derby, but there are

plenty of top horses from top stables in the race. The contest is

a big one for several horses either in the TDN Top 12 or “On The

Bubble.” Cont. p6Kiaran McLaughlin | Horsephotos

Throwback Thursday and an

early birthday. In the second

start of his 2008 campaign,

Curlin (Smart Strike) captured

the Dubai World Cup by

7 3/4 lengths. The two-time

Horse of the Year was foaled

March 25, 2004.

Best of Both Worlds cont. from p1

McLaughlin continued, “We are very privileged as ‘Team

McLaughlin’ to be involved with one of the greatest teams in

racing and one of the best teams in professional sports,

Godolphin. We’re blessed to be with them and happy to be over

there running at Meydan.”

The native of Lexington, Kentucky, hasn’t started a horse on

the Dubai World Cup program since Albertus Maximus’s sixth-

place run in the main event in 2009, the final renewal held at

Nad Al Sheba.

“I have great memories of Nad Al Sheba--we had a lot of fun

there,” McLaughlin reflected. “But Meydan is unbelievable, it’s a

wow. It’s really incredible. The size of it and the quality of

everything--the track, seating, viewing and building--is amazing.

It was great to go see it [in February] because it was just under

construction when we left in 2009 after Albertus Maximus ran.

It’s really an unbelievable facility.”

A former assistant to the legendary Hall of Famer D. Wayne

Lukas, the 55-year-old’s high-powered operation has grossed

seven figures in North American earnings for each of the past 14

seasons, topped by $9.6 million in purses in 2015, good for

eighth overall in the nation. While Closing Argument came

within a half-length of causing a 71-1 stunner in the 2005 GI

Kentucky Derby–could this be his year?--McLaughlin won his

first American Classic with Jazil in the following term’s GI

Belmont S. He has also trained a pair of Breeders’ Cup winners,

including a Classic tally by the aforementioned 2006 Horse of

the Year. In addition to his invaluable time spent with the

‘Coach,’ McLaughlin--diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 1998--

also came up under trainers James Burchell, John Hennig, David

Kassen and Tim Muckler as well as briefly serving as a jockey’s

agent for the late Chris Antley.

“Growing up, the Kentucky Derby was my dream because

there wasn’t a Dubai World Cup yet in 1973 when I was

watching Secretariat run,” said McLaughlin, who, of course,

campaigns the East Coast’s leading Derby hopeful Mohaymen

(Tapit). “Winning the World Cup [with Invasor] was equally as

important as a Kentucky Derby win would be--they’re 1 and 1a

for me. Working for the Maktoum family and to be able to go

back to their country with a horse they own and win their race

in their country--it’s hard to top that. I would love to do it

again.”

The World On a String... While Invasor prepped for the World Cup with a dramatic win

after clipping heels in the GI Donn H. at Gulfstream Park,

McLaughlin has taken a different approach with his three dirt

runners for the ‘Boys in Blue’ this time around.

“We wanted to go over there to support the Carnival--we love

Dubai,” McLaughlin said when asked about having his horses

prep locally this winter. “And, yes, it was important to get a race

over the track with all of them as well.”

Frosted, hero of

last term’s GI Wood

Memorial and

runner-up behind the

mighty American

Pharoah (Pioneerof

the Nile) in the

GI Belmont S., kicked

off his 4-year-old

campaign in style

with a track-record

setting performance

in Meydan’s

G2 Al Maktoum Challenge Round Two Feb. 4 (video). The gray,

also a close fourth in last year’s ‘Run for the Roses’ and third in

the GI Travers S., concluded his sophomore campaign with a

disappointing seventh in the GI Breeders’ Cup Classic at

Keeneland Oct. 31. Last term’s GII Pennsylvania Derby hero,

produced by a graded stakes winning half-sister to champion

Midshipman (Unbridled’s Song), heads to the World Cup for a

highly anticipated clash with 2014 Horse of the Year California

Chrome (Lucky Pulpit).

The 6-year-old Confrontation, multiple graded stakes placed in

the U.S. for trainer Barclay Tagg and co-owners Eric Dattner and

Harry Astarita, was a convincing winner in his first attempt for

Godolphin and McLaughlin in the 1600-meter G3 Firebreak S. at

Meydan Feb. 4 (video). The dark bay was making his first

appearance since a second-place finish behind subsequent

GI Breeders’ Cup Dirt Mile winner Liam’s Map (Unbridled’s

Song) in a salty optional claimer going a mile at Belmont last

June. He cuts back in trip to 1200 meters for the Golden

Shaheen. Cont. p4

Things went much smoother the second time around in Dubai

for Godolphin Mile contender Marking. Runner-up to champion

Runhappy (Super Saver) in the GI Malibu S. at Santa Anita Dec.

26, the son of two-time Grade I victress Seventh Street (Street

Cry {Ire}) dumped his rider when they sprung

the latch in the Feb. 11 Al Shindagha Sprint at

Meydan, but atoned next time despite

hopping at the start to win going away

beneath the lights in a Feb. 25 handicap

(video), stopping the timer in a snappy

1:10.86 for six furlongs.

Randy Lowe homebred and GI Breeders’

Cup Turf Sprint runner-up Lady Shipman,

meanwhile, made her first attempt fitted with

a McLaughlin white bridle a winning one with

a facile score in Gulfstream’s Ladies’ Turf

Sprint S. Feb. 6 (video). The seven-time stakes winner, a $35,000

RNA at the OBSAPR 2-year-old sale, set a new course record in

Saratoga’s Smart N Fancy S. last summer. The 2015 Eclipse

Award finalist for champion female sprinter takes on the boys in

the Al Quoz.

Following an 11-hour van ride from Palm Meadows in Florida

to Atlanta and an uneventful flight to the Middle East,

McLaughlin’s troops, bar Lady Shipman, joined Charlie Appelby’s

string while kept in isolation in their own barn at Godolphin’s

Marmoom Stables in Dubai in late January. Kiaran’s brother Neal

McLaughlin has been overseeing their activity since arrival. Lady

Shipman touched down in Dubai in mid-March.

“We hope to do it every year,” McLaughlin

said of competing in Dubai for the Carnival.

“It’s a long way to travel, but the horses

handle it well, for the most part.”

He continued, “I think it helps [being based

at Marmoom], but I wouldn’t have been

opposed to being stabled at Meydan. We

elected to train right-handed here, too,

because we’re [training] by ourselves. Charlie

Appelby trains here, but we’re not allowed to

go on the same track with his horses. We go

around his sets.”

American Invasion... Despite the obvious concerns of racing medication-free

combined with a demanding overseas journey, several other

top-level American-based horses--led, of course, by the

aforementioned California Chrome--will be competing beneath

the lights at Meydan this weekend. Cont. p5

Best of Both Worlds cont. In addition to the 2014 dual Classic winner and last year’sWorld Cup runner-up, Hoppertunity (Any Given Saturday)(World Cup), Keen Ice (Curlin) (World Cup), Mshawish(Medaglia d’Oro) (World Cup), Flamboyant (Fr) (Peer Gynt {Fr})(G1 Dubai Turf), X Y Jet (Kantharos) (Shaheen) and FrankConversation (Quality Road) (G2 UAE Derby) will all berepresenting the red, white and blue. Meydan’s former all-weather Tapeta surface was replaced with dirt for the 2014-15season. “Maybe I don’t want to keep promoting racing over there

shipping from America,”McLaughlin said with a laugh.“Maybe it’s better if people don’tgo and find out that it’s not thatdifficult to do.” Like many of McLaughlin’syoung horses, Frosted made thefirst three starts of his career attwo competing without Lasix,

including a runaway maiden win at Aqueduct. Lady Shipman,previously campaigned by trainer Kathleen O’Connell up to her2015 finale in the Breeders’ Cup, has never raced without themedication. Confrontation and Marking made their first careerstarts without Lasix in Dubai this winter.

“The medication is a whole other issue,” McLaughlin offered.

“If you’re a bad bleeder, you might not want to go [to Dubai].

But for the most part over the years we didn’t have many

bleeders there. I know that’s a concern to a lot of people in

American racing, but they will run without it and run the same.

We’re glad we found out that they were fine without any

medication.”

Once multiple Grammy Award-winner Janet Jackson puts the

finishing touches on the World Cup program with a post-race

concert, the action may just be getting started for Team

McLaughlin back in America this spring. Shadwell’s Mohaymen

will place his unbeaten tag on the line versus champion Nyquist

(Uncle Mo) in a GI Florida Derby for the ages the following

weekend at Gulfstream Park.

“It’s fabulous and very exciting,” McLaughlin concluded while

remaining as level-headed as ever. “It’s a great spot that we’re

in right now, but we also realize that anything can happen in a

short time. We hope that they all stay together and everything

goes well and we have a great Mar. 26 World Cup night, and,

hopefully, Mohaymen can keep going, too. We understand the

game, but we’re all very excited as a team, including the

owners, and hopefully we’ll be able to keep it going.”

Gulfstream linemaker Jay Stone agrees that Mohaymen will be

the favorite over Nyquist (Uncle Mo) when the two clash in the

GI Florida Derby. “I am going

on the assumption that this

will be a six or seven-horse

field and Zulu will not be one

of them,” Stone said. “I will

make Mohaymen either 3-5

or 4-5 and Nyquist will be

between even and 6-5,

depending on how many

others are in the race. This is

the race the public wants to

see even though they thought it would unfold in Kentucky. ‘Mo’

has the edge because it is being run over his home track, but

Nyquist may be his equal in this race depending on who else

shows. Remember, Nyquist is running for an extra million, so he

might be slightly more pushed for this, but in the end I believe

the public will make Mohaymen a slight favorite. Close call.”

When is the last time an undefeated champion was the second

choice in a prep race for the GI Kentucky Derby? Surely, it’s

never happened before. It’s not that Nyquist doesn’t get a lot of

respect, it’s that everyone is so high

on Mohaymen (Tapit). Aiming for a

$1-million bonus, Nyquist will surely

be primed for his best, but don’t think

for a minute that trainer Kiaran

McLaughlin doesn’t want to win the

showdown badly. He’s got an

undefeated horse gearing up for the

Derby. This is not the time to lose. Who’s the better of the two?

It will be decided on the racetrack.

Just because ‘TDN Rising Star’ Danzing Candy won the GII San

Felipe S. in wire-to-wire fashion doesn’t mean that he has to

have the lead. At least that is the opinion of his trainer, Cliff Sise,

Jr. “We didn’t want to change anything last time in the San

Felipe,” he said. “But [jockey]

Mike [Smith] has always said

he can rate. Being down in

the two hole in the San

Felipe, we decided not to

change anything and go right

for the lead. If somebody

wanted to send hard we

would have laid second. In

the morning, I have already trained him to come off the pace

and he’s good at it. He’s nice and relaxed.” His rematch with

Mor Spirit (Eskendereya) in the GI Santa Anita Derby will be a

compelling one. Cont. p7

Should we put a line through his performance in the GII San

Felipe S.? While it was far from a bad race for Mor Spirit, it did

knock him down a peg on most

rankings since he was second-best

behind Danzing Candy (Twirling

Candy). Was that the best Mor Spirit

has or did a botched workout prior to

the San Felipe catch up with him?

That question should be answered in

the GI Santa Anita Derby. Even with

the big effort by Cupid (Tapit) in the GII Rebel S., he remains Bob

Baffert’s top gun.

Considering that the GII Louisiana Derby will be only the

“That is what we are hoping,” said David Fiske, the racing

manager for Winchell Thoroughbreds, when asked if we will see

a better Gun Runner this time out. “The way he has trained

between the Risen Star and the Louisiana Derby this week he’s

doing as well as he can do. He fired off a bullet work [five

furlongs in 1:00 3/5] last week and a little maintenance work

[four furlongs in :50 4/5] Monday and came out of that in great

shape.” Gun Runner drew post one and Fiske said that while he

would have rather drawn more towards the middle, he hopes

Gun Runner will get the same ground-saving trip he got in the

Risen Star. Cont. p8

Few major Derby contenders in recent years have come so far

so fast. Just 46 days ago, Cupid was a maiden. Now he’s a Grade

II winner and will likely be the favorite in the GI Arkansas Derby.

This is not your typical

Bob Baffert-trained

horse, as he took some

time to find himself

and needed three

starts to break his

maiden. It could be

that he has yet to

peak, a scary thought

for his opponents

down the road. With

his breeding, there’s every reason to believe he can develop into

a top horse. Baffert’s magic at Oaklawn is beyond unbelievable.

the one thing he has yet

ON THE BUBBLE:

Airoforce (Colonel John): Worked five furlongs over the

synthetic surface at the Ocala Training Center in :58 4/5. The

comeback kid?

Brody’s Cause (Giant’s Causeway): Will need to be the

Comeback Kid II after his poor showing in the GII Tampa Bay

Derby.

Collected (City Zip): Bounced back with win in the $415,000

Sunland Park Festival of Racing S., but the race did not have any

Derby points. He has just 11, may not be enough.

Creator (Tapit): Third in GII Rebel S., he’s on the improve, but

still has a way to go.

Flexibility (Bluegrass Cat): Is training in New York for Chad

Brown. The GI Wood Memorial could be next. Cont. p10

Frank Conversation (Quality Road): Drew the one post for

Saturday’s $2-million GII UAE Derby. Only seven in the field.

Huge purse. Very smart to run him there.

Forevamo (Uncle Mo): Finished second in the GII Risen Star S. at

47-1. Is he for real? We’ll find out in the GII Louisiana Derby.

Malibu Sunset (Bernardini): Drops out of the TDN Top 12 for the

simple reason that trainer Bob Baffert is obviously in no hurry

with him and time is running out.

Outwork (Uncle Mo): Runner-up in GII Tampa Bay Derby is

another on growing list of Pletcher late-bloomers.

Suddenbreakingnews (Mineshaft): Didn’t run back to his win in

GIII Southwest Stakes when fifth in GII Rebel S. Deserves

another shot in the GI Arkansas Derby.

Whitmore (Pleasantly Perfect): Second in the GIII Southwest S.

and the GII Rebel S., he keeps knocking on door, but needs to do

better.

NINE LATE TRIPLE CROWN NOMINATIONS Nine horses were added to the list of nominations for the 2016

Triple Crown during its late

nomination phase which

closed Mar. 21. This brings

the total nominations to 377

sophomores. The owners of

eight colts and one gelding

paid a fee of $6,000 during

the late nomination phase to

make their horses eligible to

run in the 2016 renewals of

the GI Kentucky Derby, GI

Preakness S. and GI Belmont S.

The list of late nominees to this year’s Triple Crown is as

follows:

! Stonehedge LLC’s Abiding Star (Uncle Mo), winner of the

Private Terms S. at Laurel for trainer Edward Allard

! Gary and Mary West’s American Pioneer (Awesome Again),

a decisive maiden winner at Oaklawn Mar. 19 for

trainer Wayne Catalano

! Highclere America, McConnell Racing Stable, Wachtel Stable

and D. Bilinski’s Cards of Stone (Bustin Stones), a New

York-bred gelding who won a restricted optional claimer

by 13 lengths for trainer Todd Pletcher

! Jump Sucker Stable and Oak Bluff Stable’s Governor Malibu

(Malibu Moon), an Empire-bred who won the Gander S.

at Aqueduct for trainer Christophe Clement

! DB DOJO LLC’s Isofass (Rodman), who has one win in four

races for trainer Francis “Trey” Abbott III

! Michael J. Bruder’s Lookin for a Kiss (Lookin at Lucky), who

has one win from two starts and was recently

transferred to trainer Mike Tomlinson

! Sheep Pond Partners, Newport Stables LLC and Jay Bligh’s

My Man Sam (Trappe Shot), a “TDN Rising Star” with

one win from three starts at Aqueduct for trainer Chad

Brown

! Beverly Anderson and Edward Seltzer’s homebred Surgical

Strike (Red Giant), winner of Turfway Park’s John

Battaglia Memorial S. for trainer Ben Colebrook

! Lloyd Madison Farm IV LLC’s Zapperini (Ghostzapper), a

homebred with one win and a fifth in the GII Risen Star

S. in three career races for trainer Greg Foley.

Last year’s Triple Crown attracted 438 nominations, which

included 429 early nominees and nine made eligible during the

late nomination phase. The late nomination of Cards of Stone

brought Todd Pletcher’s nominations to 29, which remains

below his 2015 total of 34. With his nomination of My Man Sam,

trainer Chad Brown’s nominee total rose to 13, which ranks

second among trainers.

Three-year-olds not nominated to the Triple Crown during

either the early or late nomination phases have a final

opportunity to become eligible for the three-race series by

payment of supplemental nomination fees. Due at the time of

entry for either the Kentucky Derby, the Preakness or the

Belmont, the supplemental fee process makes a horse eligible

for the remainder of the Triple Crown series. A supplemental

nomination at the time of entry to the Kentucky Derby requires

payment of $200,000. The fee is $150,000 if paid prior to the

Preakness or $75,000 at time of entry to the Belmont.

Churchill Downs adjusted its entry process in 2014 to permit

horses that are made supplemental nominations prior to the

Kentucky Derby to be treated the same as original nominees. If

one or more supplemental nominees possess sufficient “Road to

the Kentucky Derby” points to qualify for the Derby field, they

will be allowed to start over original nominees that possess

lesser qualifications. Under its previous policy, Churchill Downs

gave preference in all cases to early and late Triple Crown

nominees.

TRIO OF NEW CHALLENGERS EYE FL DERBY A trio of new challengers have set their sights on Gulfstream’s

GI Florida Derby Apr. 2, which features the highly anticipated

match up of the undefeated Mohaymen (Tapit) and the also

unbeaten champion Nyquist (Uncle Mo).

Ron Paolucci’s Loooch Racing Stables’ will be represented by

both Ifyousnoozeyoulose (Wilburn) and Sawyers Mickey

(Flatter). Sawyers Mickey, who has previously been trained by

Tom Amoss, will be saddled by Ifyousnoozeyoulose’s Florida-

based conditioner Peter Walder.

“He’s really passionate,” Walder said of Paolucci. “He believes

in not only his horses but his trainers. A lot of times he picks out

some spots that seem like you’re really up against it but he’s

going to get lucky. He’s gotten lucky before. The guy spends

money. There’s no reason to think it’s not going to happen

again. I don’t know whether it’s going to happen that day

against those two horses, but the fact is third place gives you

$100,000.”

Paolucci claimed Ifyousnoozeyoulose from Ken and Sarah

Ramsey and trainer Mike Maker for $40,000 out of his 4 1/4-

length graduation in Hallandale at fifth asking Feb. 4. The bay

finished last after being bumped into the rail and forced to

check sharply in a starter optional claimer at Gulfstream last

time Feb. 26.

“[The Feb. 26 race] was a disaster,” Walder commented. “He

got slammed and never got a chance to run. His maiden race

was very impressive. Ron is higher on the maiden. He absolutely

loves that horse. He’s run against some nice horses and Amoss

likes him as well, but he’s still a maiden.”

The Ohio-bred Sawyers Mickey is still a maiden after seven

starts, most recently finishing third in the John Battaglia

Memorial S. over the Turfway synthetic Mar. 12.

The other addition to the list of Florida Derby probables is

Grupo 7C Racing Stable’s Majesto (Tiznow). The Gustavo

Delgado pupil earned his diploma at fifth asking in a 1 1/16-mile

test in Hallandale Feb. 27.

“I know that the two big horses are very, very, very strong. To

finish third would be very good for me,” Delgado said. “It looks

like only six or seven horses will be in the race. Racing is racing,

and anything can happen”

ENHANCED SECURITY FOR NY GI RACES The New York State Gaming Commission and The New YorkRacing Association will continue enhanced security protocols forhorses racing in Grade I races with purses of $1 million or more,starting with the Apr. 9 GI Wood Memorial S. at Aqueduct. The Commission and NYRA employ two similar sets of securityprotocols (Group “A” and Group “B”) for the 11 Grade I raceswith purses of $1 million or more at NYRA tracks taking place in2016. Horses running in the GI Belmont S., the GI Whitney S. and the GI Travers S. will be subject to Group “A” protocols, whichinclude continuous 72-hour “dedicated watch” by experiencedsecurity personnel leading to post-time. During a “dedicatedwatch,” one guard is stationed full-time for every horseprogrammed. Horses running in the Wood Memorial, the GI Ogden Phipps S.,the GI NYRA.com Metropolitan H., the GI Manhattan S., the GI Sword Dancer S., the GI Belmont Oaks Invitational, the GI Belmont Derby Invitational and the GI Jockey Club Gold Cupwill be subject to Group “B” protocols, which include“intensified watch” by a team of six to eight experiencedsecurity personnel conducting mobile surveillance and directhorse checks at least three times per shift from 72 to 30 hoursprior to their race, with continuous “dedicated watch” takingplace for the final 30 hours before post-time. Cont. p12

HEADLINE NEWS • PAGE 12 OF 13 • THETDN.COM THURSDAY • MARCH 24, 2016

Enhanced Security Protocols for NY GIs cont.

All guards employed for Group “A” and Group “B” protocols

consist of experienced

NYRA security

personnel and

investigators who

receive ongoing

education from the

Organization of Racing

Investigators (ORI) and

the Racing Officials

Accreditation Program

(ROAP).

All horses in Group “A” or Group “B” races must adhere to the

following protocol:

! Horses must be on the grounds of the host NYRA facility no

later than 72 hours prior to their anticipated post time.

Exceptions will be at the discretion of the Stewards.

! The Commission will take out-of-competition blood samples

of horses competing in these races and send them to

New York State Equine Drug Testing and Research

Program at Morrisville State College for immediate

testing. The Commission will coordinate with other

jurisdictions to obtain out-of-competition samples from

horses that are not stabled in New York.

! Once they arrive, horses must remain on the NYRA facility

grounds until after the running of the specified race.

Exceptions will only be granted in the case of an

unforeseeable emergency, as determined by the

dedicated watch security in consultation with the

Stewards. For applicable races at either Belmont or

Aqueduct, horses may be stabled at either facility to be

considered on NYRA grounds.

! Horses shall reside in their trainers' current barns and/or at

stalls on the grounds, which shall be monitored at all

times by additional security personnel.

! Commission personnel will monitor all treatments of

participating horses performed by veterinarians prior to

the scheduled post times of the respective races and

examine all paraphernalia. No veterinarians will treat

horses without first making an appointment with

Commission investigators. All containers for

medications administered will be retained by the

Commission for possible testing.

! A full daily veterinarian’s record of all medications and

treatments given to horses 72 hours prior to the race

will be provided to the Commission. Any changes to

treatment must be disclosed to the Commission. If

medications and treatment records are not provided to

the Commission in a timely manner and prior to

treatment, veterinarians will not be permitted to treat

the horse until this issue is resolved. The Commission

will post these records on its website each day.

! Stall entry/exit logs will be maintained by security

personnel. All persons including grooms, veterinarians,

trainers, assistant trainers, farriers, owners or other

connections must have a valid Commission license or

NYRA badge on their person before entering the stall,

engaging in contact with the horse or performing any

service for the horse. All visits will be logged in by

security along with the reason for the visit. Routine stall

and horse maintenance by identified grooms and staff

will be monitored but will be exempt from logging.

! All equipment, feed, hay bales, etc. will be subject to search

and seizure, as provided by law, by both NYRA and the

Commission.

! As is current policy, Lasix administration will take place in

the horses' own stalls by a NYRA veterinarian

administrator. Syringes will be preserved by the

Commission for possible testing.

! On race day, no treatments will be permitted (other than

Lasix for specifically designated horses) unless it is for

an emergency or as approved by the Stewards.

! All horses participating in the applicable race must report to

the Assembly Barn no less than 45 minutes prior to

their designated post time. Each individual trainer is

responsible for ascertaining their designated post time.

TCO2 blood sampling will take place in the Assembly

Barn before horses are escorted to the paddock. A fine

or a scratch may be issued by the NYRA Steward if

horses are late to the Assembly Barn.

! Participants in these races will receive priority for paddock

schooling with security personnel present.

“These protocols have been in place in New York State for

several years and have proven to be effective in ensuring

integrity for New York’s premiere racing events,” said

Commission Executive Director Robert Williams. “The measures

continue to bring unparalleled transparency to the sport and

instill confidence of a level playing field for the horse, the rider,

the connections and the public.”

"The New York Racing Association appreciates the assistance

of the New York State Gaming Commission in establishing these

protocols,” said NYRA Chief Executive Officer and President

Christopher Kay. “We remain committed to ensuring our races

are conducted in the safest and most transparent manner for

the horses, the horsemen and our guests.”

GULFSTREAM SPRING/SUMMER STAKES

SCHEDULE ANNOUNCED The upcoming 2016 spring/summer meet will be highlighted

by a 41-race stakes schedule worth a record $5.575 million in

purses, Gulfstream Park announced Wednesday.

The schedule, which starts with the GIII Miami Mile Apr. 30,

will be highlighted by the $1.1 million Summit of Speed card and

three legs of the $2.9 million Florida Sire Stakes Series. The 2015

spring/summer meet offered 29 stakes worth $4.75 million in

purses.

"This is another step in our efforts to reinvigorate and rebuild

the summer racing schedule in Florida," said P.J. Campo,

Gulfstream's General Manager and Vice President of Racing for

The Stronach Group.

"We continue to see

more horsemen

applying for

year-round stalls and

more interest in our

stakes schedule. We

are committed to

building our summer

schedule. We believe it

will make for a

stronger overall program in Florida and will showcase large

fields and quality racing."

The Summit of Speed will be held July 2 and will offer three

graded stakes races, including the $250,000 GII Princess Rooney

S., the $250,000 GII Smile Sprint S. and the $150,000 GIII Carry

Back S.

The $2.9 million Florida Sires Stakes series is scheduled for

Aug. 6, Sept. 3 and Oct. 1. The series, which is restricted to

horses sired by accredited stallions standing in Florida, will get

under way with the $200,000 Dr. Fager S. and the $200,000

Desert Vixen S. for 2-year-olds and the $150,000 Unbridled S.

and the $150,000 Three Ring S. for 3-year-olds. The second leg

will include the $300,000 Affirmed S. and the $300,000 Susan’s

Girl S. for 2-year-olds, as well as the $150,000 Prized S. and

$150,000 Jewel Princess S. for sophomores. The lucrative series

is set to wrap up with the $500,000 In Reality S. and the

$500,000 My Dear Girl S. for juveniles and $150,000 Foolish

Pleasure S. and $150,000 Meadow Star S. for 3-year-olds.

AUNTIE JOY (f, 3, Uncle Mo--Rejoicing, by Forestry) sat a

midfield trip when an 8-1 chance on her Nov. 13 debut over a

rain-affected turf course at Churchill Downs, but rallied to score

by a good-looking 2 1/4 lengths. Well backed at 5-1 in this

track’s Ginger Brew S. Jan. 2, the bay remained in the thick of it

to midstretch, but was checked hard and was not persevered

with thereafter, finishing 10th. One of the first away, Auntie Joy

was gathered up by Julien Leparoux to race covered up from

midpack down the backstretch. Quietly ridden around the turn,

she sliced her way out into the four path in upper stretch and

came with giant strides to post a 2 1/2-length victory. The

winner, bred on the exact same cross as champion Nyquist, is

kin to a yearling full-sister to Divine Oath (Broken Vow), MGSW,

+DUNKIRK'S BOY (c, 3, Dunkirk--Bridal Song, by Vicar) displayed

a steady worktab and was duly dismissed at odds of 21-1. One of

two firsters in the field, the gray colt was away fairly and was

rousted along by Vicente Gudiel to take up the running shortly

after hooking up with the course proper. Niggled along after a

half-mile in :46.12, the PTK runner came under urging a furlong

and a half from home, but dug in gamely entering the final

furlong and came home a 1 3/4-length winner. Odds-on Miles of

Humor (Distorted Humor) missed the break a bit and ran up into

second in the waning strides. The winner’s dam produced the

Midnight Lute colt Boogalute in 2014, a filly by Archarcharch in

2015 and was most recently bred to Tizway. Dunkirk Boy’s third

dam is the outstanding turf mare Memories of Silver (Silver

Hawk), who has produced MGISW Winter Memories (El Prado

Previously trained by Alain de Royer-Duper for the Wildenstein

Family, AKATEA (IRE) (Shamardal) looms a handful for this

group of three-lifetime allowance rivals with anything close to a

repeat of either of her two most recent efforts. Winner of the

Listed Prix Finlande in her first go against winners last April, the

chestnut, now owned by Joe Allen, crossed the line second in

the G3 Prix de Lieurey at Deauville last August, but was demoted

to 10th. She faced males in her last couple, finishing second to

G1 Poule d’Essai des Pouliches winner Ervedya (Fr) (Siyouni

{Ire}) and ahead of 2014 GI Breeders’ Cup Mile hero Karakontie

(Jpn) (Bernstein) in the G1 Prix du Moulin in September. Most

recently third, beaten 3/4 of a length, in the G1 Prix Daniel

Wildenstein on Arc weekend Oct. 3, she adds Lasix for the

Stateside debut and the 3-1 on offer on the morning line will be

a mere pipedream. Akatea descends from the female family of

GI Breeders’ Cup Classic winner Arcangues and MGISW Angara

(GB). Bride to Be (Candy Ride {Arg}), a daughter of GSW Cat

Oaklawn Increases Overnight Purses & Three Stakes:

The final three weeks of racing will feature the highest purses

in Oaklawn’s history after the track announced its third increase

of the meet. All overnight purses will increase by $1,000 per

race and three stakes have been bumped up. The Apr. 15

Bachelor S. for 3-year-old sprinters goes from $100,000 to

$150,000; the Apr. 16 Northern Spur S. for 3-year-olds at one

mile increases from $125,000 to $150,000; and the Apr. 16

Instant Racing S. for 3-year-old filly sprinters bumps up from

$125,000 to $150,000.

“We are extremely proud of the quality of racing we’ve

offered this season and it will only get better heading into the

last part of our meet,” said Director of Racing David Longinotti.

“Our field size is among the highest in the country with an

average of 9.75 and two of our marquee 3-year-old stakes have

had full 14-horse fields. Between the good weather and

top-notch horses, the fans have responded and it shows in our

ability to raise purses for a third time.”

Overall, Oaklawn has added $250,000 to its stakes program

since the beginning of the meet. Maiden special weights, which

were $68,000 when the track opened Jan. 15, are now $76,000

and allowance races, which started as high as $75,000, are now

above $80,000. The minimum purse is $23,500.

The 2016 Oaklawn meet continues through Saturday, Apr. 16.

93 Horses Catalogued for Louisiana 2yo Sale:

A total of 93 horses have been catalogued for the Equine Sales

CHROME DRAWS WIDEFOR WORLD CUP

California Chrome (Lucky Pulpit) has drawn wide for his second

attempt to win the world’s richest horse race--Saturday’s $10

million G1 Dubai World Cup--landing in gate 11 of 12.

The 2014 American Horse of the Year exited from post nine last

year en route to a second-place finish to longshot Prince Bishop

(Ire) (Dubawi {Ire}). Trainer Art Sherman, who arrived in Dubai to

oversee his charge’s final preparations Monday night, was given

the penultimate chance to pick his gate, and he said, “The outside

draw is good if you’ve got the horse, and I hope we have. There

wasn’t too much I could do about the draw. He’s got tactical speed

so I’m not going to worry about it.”

Sherman employed a change of tactics this year with California

Chrome, opting to prepare the 5-year-old in Dubai rather than ship

in for the main event like last year. The chestnut rewarded

connections with an as-he-pleased two-length score in a Dubai

World Cup track-and-trip handicap win Feb. 25.

His preparation isn’t the only thing that looks different for

California Chrome this year; he is also sporting new silks, with

Taylor Made Farm having entered the partnership and co-breeder

Steve Coburn having exited last summer.

Taylor Made has not one, but two chances to have the Dubai

World Cup winner standing its stallion barn next year, having

secured the stud rights to Mshawish (Medaglia d’Oro) shortly after

his GI Donn H. win Feb. 6. Cont. in Worldwide News p5

MECCA’S ANGEL TO RETURN IN TEMPLE Last year’s G1 Nunthorpe S. winner Mecca’s Angel (Ire) (DarkAngel {Ire}) is likely to make her seasonal debut in the G2 TempleS. at Haydock May 21, according to owner David Metcalfe. Metcalfenoted that the 5-year-old mare would be entered in all the keysprinting spots but said that, like last year, her starts would belimited to where she would find cut in the ground. "She'll be entered for all the big ones, but it will boil down to theground again,” the owner said. "We did think about going toFrance, to Deauville, for a race just a few days earlier but we'd liketo keep her in England if we can.” Mecca’s Angel ran just three times last year, her lone loss comingwhen second over good ground in the G2 Sapphire S. in July.Metcalfe said he would like to return to Ireland with the MichaelDods trainee if conditions suit. "At the end of the season I'd like torun her in the [G2] Flying Five [S.] at The Curragh, because webought her in Ireland and when she went last year we had a greattime,” Metcalfe explained.

Mecca’s Angel To Return In Temple Cont. from p1

Metcalfe added he would like to try his mare over six furlongs, a

trip she has tried just once in 14 starts.

“She will be entered over

six this year,” he said. "The

trouble might be if she gets

her ground it will put more

of an emphasis on her

stamina--the way she went

past the post in the

Nunthorpe it looks like

she'd get six, but I'm still

dubious.”

As for now, Mecca’s

Angel is progressing well towards her seasonal debut.

"At the moment she's very fresh and well,” Metcalfe said. “She

goes up the gallop on her own as otherwise she'd get too lit up.”

BRITISH RACING REVIEW RELEASED A British racing review launched last summer has released six

main recommendations on areas for improvement in the industry.

The first key recommendation is the establishment of a

stakeholder integrity forum to act as an advisory group.

The review also suggested improvements to the investigation,

case management and disciplinary processes, and proposed a

formal investigation charter be presented to everyone involved at

the outset of a case. The BHA will also develop a fast-track process

to deal with minor and admitted offences and a review of the level

of penalties for minor rule breaches.

Another recommendation was the formalisation of a new

integrity strategy to do more to educate and protect the majority

of the sport’s participants who comply or are trying to comply with

the rules.

The BHA plans to review the structure, composition and

processes of the Disciplinary Panel, Licensing Committee and

Appeal Board, as well as extend partnerships within the betting

industry, other racing jurisdictions, other sports and regulators to

increase access to intelligence.

The review was led by the British Horseracing Authority’s

director of integrity, legal and risk, Adam Brickell. Sir Paul

Stephenson served as independent regulatory director and leading

experts from the fields of sport, regulation and racing were also

involved. Stakeholders in racing were also able to put forth their

opinions. Cont. p3

British Racing Review Released Cont. "The BHA's integrity work is critical to the reputation of the sportand public confidence in it,” said Stephenson. "British racing has astrong track record in investigating and taking action againstindividuals who seek to corrupt the sport.” “From my brief time within the racing industry and from thepeople I have spoken to as part of this review, it has become clearto me that British Racing is seen as a leader when it comes tomanaging sporting integrity,” Stephenson added. “This isevidenced by the fact that other sports and racing jurisdictionsconstantly contact us for guidance on running integrity services.However, we do not have a divine right to this reputation. Hence,this review was instigated to ensure that British Racing is doing allit can to maintain and improve this reputation."

BRITISH TRIP POSSIBLE FOR TRIXIA Unbeaten G3 Prix des Reservoirs victress Trixia (Fr) (Siyouni {Fr})could cross the English channel to contest Newmarket’s G1 QIPCO1000 Guineas May 1. Trixia won all four of her starts last season for owner Jean-ClaudeSeroul and trainer Frederic Rossi, but has since been switched tothe care of Alain de Royer-Dupre. Trixia has not been seen sincethe Oct. 21 Prix des Reservoirs, and de Royer-Dupre said, “I amthinking about the QIPCO1000 Guineas for Trixia. Shehas been entered in the PrixI m p r u d e n c e [ a tMaisons-Laffitte Apr. 7] andif she went there and ranwell she would probably goto Newmarket.” De Royer-Dupre is alsoconsidering a tilt at thepreceding day’s QIPCO 2000 Guineas with the Aga Khan’sVedevani (Fr) (Dubawi {Ire}), who won at debut at Deauville inAugust before finishing second in the G3 Prix des Chenes inSeptember. Trixia could be joined in the Guineas by compatriots Left Hand(GB) (Dubawi {Ire}), Sasparella (Fr) (Shamardal) and Pleasemetoo(Ire) (Vale Of York {Ire}); however, Carlos Laffon-Parias, trainer ofthe former pair, said he plans to keep his two apart. “The QIPCO 1000 Guineas could be on the agenda for eitherSasparella or Left Hand, but I would like to keep them apart,” hesaid. “Sasparella will probably head for the Prix Imprudence whilewe will find something else for Left Hand. If they both win theircomeback races one will go to Newmarket and the other will runin the Poule d’Essai des Pouliches.”

ULTRA TO TARGET DERBY Godolphin’s Ultra (Ire) (Manduro {Ger}), the unbeaten winner ofthe G1 Qatar Prix Jean-Luc Lagardere, will bypass the G1 QIPCO 2000Guineas Apr. 30 in favour of the June 4 G1 Investec Derby. "Ultra will not take up his entry in the QIPCO 2000 Guineas--hewill have a prep race before running in the Derby," said trainerAndre Fabre, who saddled Pour Moi (Ire) (Montjeu {Ire}) to victoryin the Epsom Classic in 2011. Ultra, a 20-1 shot for the Derby, broke his maiden atClairfontaine July 25 and added a Longchamp conditions race inSeptember before taking the Lagardere when last seen Oct. 4.

not go with his first choice? Hopefully we’ll be in a good stalking

position--that would be ideal.”

Jerry Crawford of Donegal Racing had just three choices left

when picking Keen Ice’s gate.

"The thing that made it [choosing the rail] attractive was that it

was that or the 11 or the 12,” Crawford said. “We have speed

drawn to our immediate outside in the two hole, so we should

have room to maneuver and navigate from there. We are going to

be in first-time blinkers so I think that will make him a little keener,

excuse the expression."

Keen Ice became the only horse to defeat American Pharoah

(Pioneerof the Nile) during the Triple Crown winner’s 3-year-old

campaign when winning the GI Travers S. last summer, but was a

dull seventh in the G1 Al Maktoum Challenge R3 Mar. 5.

The formidable U.S.-

b a s e d t e a m i s

completed by Frosted

(Tapit) in gate nine and

Hoppertunity (Any

Given Saturday) one to

his outside. Darley USA

President Jimmy Bell

was given fifth choice

and selected gate nine

for Frosted, and trainer

Kiaran McLaughlin said,

"We were hoping to be

outside of the speed.

Special Fighter [in gate five] is speed as is California Chrome. We

didn't want to go all the way outside. There's a long run into the

first turn which should help us secure position.”

Hong Kong representative Gun Pit (Aus) (Dubawi {Ire}) made a

favourable impression when finishing second in Round 3 of the

Maktoum Challenge on his local debut, and his connections were

the first to draw their gate Wednesday. Cont. p6

“He drew the inside when he ran second on Super Saturday,”

said trainer Caspar Fownes. “We were the first name called out

today and we’re delighted to put him in barrier three. He will be

handy. We’re looking forward to Saturday night. I can think he can

run a very respectable race from three.”

HUSTLING FOR A REPEAT The G1 William Reid S. brings the Melbourne autumn Group 1season to a close, and Lucky Hussler (Aus) (Husson {Arg}) isfavoured to make it back-to-back scores in the Moonee Valleysprinting showpiece. Also the winner of Caulfield’s G1 Toorak H. inthe spring, the 7-year-old gelding started his campaign on a highwith a win in the Magic Millions Cup on the Gold Coast Jan. 9, andwas second when last seen in the G1 CF Orr S. Feb. 13. The veteran will have to face a pair of in-form 3-year-olds in theform of Holler (Aus) (Commands {Aus}) and Japonisme (Aus)

(Choisir {Aus}). The formerbested a red-hot field of elderswhen winning Randwick’s1300-metre G1 Canterbury S.three weeks ago. Japonsimewas the upset winner of theG1 Coolmore Stud S. in thespring and has made a goodaccount of himself thus far thisseason, beaten a head behind

seasoned Group 1 winners Chautauqua (Aus) (Encosta de Lago{Aus}) and Terravista (Aus) (Captain Rio {GB}) in the G1 BlackCaviar Lightning S. Feb. 20 before finishing fifth, beaten 1 1/4lengths, in the G1 Newmarket H. 11 days ago. Trainer Peter Moody bows out of the training ranks afterThursday’s night’s Moonee Valley card, when his sixth-monthcobalt suspension kicks in, and he could go out in a big way,saddling the Feb. 27 G1 Oakleigh Plate winner Flamberge (Aus)(Exceed and Excel {Aus}) as well as the lightly raced Kinglike (Aus)(Exceed and Excel {Aus}), who won Flemington’s G2 Danehill S. inthe spring and was second to the smart filly English (Aus) (Encostade Lago {Aus}) first-up in the G2 Challenge S. at Randwick Mar. 5.

WHAT THEY’RE SAYING: In Dubai

FRANK TAYLOR of Taylor Made Farm on California Chrome, “Yousee these Grade 1 horses. They walk out and they stop and theyget that look that’s like 100 miles away. He did that about fivetimes walking over this morning.”

Trainer KIARAN MCLAUGHLIN, "Some people believe that racingin Dubai can be difficult on horses, but from my experience thatisn't the case at all. Invasor is a perfect example. The year beforehe won the Dubai World Cup, he finished fourth in the UAE Derby,and less than two months later, he won the Pimlico Special, thenthe Suburban, Whitney and Breeders' Cup Classic consecutively.Horses that have issues with the return to the States probablyalready had those same issues when they were in Dubai."

Trainer ROGER VARIAN on Postponed, “I could not be happier withhim and he had a canter around this morning and quickened upthrough the final 400 metres. He has had a smooth 2/12 weekssince winning the City Of Gold and he looks really well in himself.He will have an easy canter the next couple of mornings and hereally couldn’t look any better. There have been bigger fields in thepast and this year’s looks select and competitive.”
