DORTMUND, HARD ACES TO TACKLE 'CHROME'By Jeremy Balan

Back in his namesake state for more than three

months now, California Chrome is set to resume

his 2016 campaign July 23 in the $200,000 San Diego

Handicap (gr. II) at Del Mar, where he'll take on fellow

multiple grade I winner Dortmund.

Since moving south from his Los Alamitos Race

Course base a week ago, California Chrome has been

doing very well according to trainer Art Sherman,

including an impressive five-furlong breeze July 16 at

the seaside racetrack.

"He's doing great—schooling great, galloping

great," Sherman said of the 5-year-old's week of

preparation.

Sherman also felt good about the 2014 Horse of

the Year's draw—sixth in the field of seven—for the

1 1/16 mile event, his first contest since a standout

score in the March 26 Dubai World Cup (UAE-I).

"That's perfect," Sherman said. "I like it on the

outside and it's a good post for him. He's won from

all post positions, but outside you get to see what

horses show speed and don't need to rush."

Kaleem Shah's Dortmund drew post 2, just out-

MISS TEMPLE CITY TAKES ON BROWN QUARTETBy Frank Angst

With divisional leader Tepin away, Miss Temple

City and 10 other females will try to take advan-

tage in the $500,000 Diana Stakes (gr. IT) July 23 at

Saratoga Race Course.

In her most recent U.S. start, Sagamore Farm,

Needle In A Haystack, and The Club Racing’s Miss

Temple City defeated males to land her first grade I

win in the Maker’s 46 Mile Stakes (gr. IT) April 15 at

Keeneland. After that race, the 4-year-old daughter

of Temple City ran a credible fourth in the Duke of

Cambridge Stakes (Eng-II) June 15 at Royal Ascot.

Trainer Graham Motion said Miss Temple City is

ready for her U.S. return.

"I've been very happy with how she's come back

from England, otherwise I wouldn't be racing her,"

Motion said. "You wonder if the trip might affect her,

running against those conditions. But I don't see any

negative effects that it's had on her. I felt like when

she came back to America, I targeted the Diana, and

everything fell into place."

Drayden Van Dyke, who didn’t make the trip to As-

cot but has been aboard Miss Temple City in her two

most recent U.S. starts, returns to ride Saturday. Van

Dyke guided Miss Temple City to victory in her sea-

son debut in the Maker’s 46 Mile after closing out her

3-year-old season with a close second in the Queen

Elizabeth II Challenge Stakes (gr. IT) last October at

Keeneland.

Miss Temple City, who also finished fourth in a

2015 trip to Ascot in the Coronation Stakes (Eng-I),

has placed in the top three in all nine of her U.S.

starts.

Trainer Chad Brown has entered four fillies and

mares in Saturday's 1 1/8-mile race on the Mellon

Turf Course, including Martin Schwartz's Wekeela,

who enters off runner-up finishes in grade I turf

races in her past two starts. In her season debut April

16 Wekeela finished five lengths behind Tepin in

the Coolmore Jenny Wiley (gr. IT) at Keeneland. The

4-year-old Hurricane Run filly followed that by finish-

ing a length behind Illuminant in the Gamely Stakes

(gr. I) at Santa Anita Park.

Brown, who is looking for his first Diana score

since 2011, when he won with Schwartz’s Zagora, will

also send out grade II winner Mrs McDougal, two-

time Chilean champion Dacita, and grade III winner

Rainha Da Bateria. Dacita enters off a win in the New

York Stakes (gr. IIT) on the inner turf at Belmont Park

and Mrs McDougal will try to improve on her third in

the Longines Just a Game Stakes (gr. IT) June 11 on

the Belmont turf.

Trainer Todd Pletcher, in search of his first Diana

win, will send out multiple group/grade III winner

Sandiva and grade II winner Isabella Sings. Trainer

James Toner, who has won the Diana three times, has

entered grade III winner Recepta. BH

NO CALIFORNIA LICENSE FOR VALENZUELABy Jeremy Balan

The California Horse Racing Board has denied jock-

ey Patrick Valenzuela a license to ride races in the

state, according to a July 20 release.

Although he's still allowed by the CHRB to work

horses following a decision in August, the ruling

stated Valenzuela can re-apply for a racing license

in a year if he “present(s) evidence of rehabilitation,

including the results of alcohol and drug testing per-

formed on a regular basis.”

The CHRB ruled during a closed session July 14

based on the recommendation of hearing officer Pat-

rick Kane, who conducted a hearing April 27 regard-

ing Valenzuela’s appeal of a prior CHRB decision to

deny him a license March 18.

“(I) cannot ignore the number of chances the

CHRB previously gave (Valenzuela),” Kane wrote in his

post-hearing recommendation. “It should be noted

that since 2000, (Valenzuela) has what (I consider) 15

major rule violations and/or convictions. As such, a

six-month record free of violations fails to demon-

strate adequate rehabilitation in light of (Valenzue-

la's) numerous past transgressions.”

The 53-year-old jockey has a history of substance

abuse and failed to fulfill his commitments in two rac-

es at Santa Anita Park in January 2014. He was riding

with a conditional license that made him subject to

drug and alcohol testing at the CHRB's request.

Valenzuela declined to comment on advice from

his attorney. BH

SANFORD KICKS OFF 2-YEAR-OLD BATTLE AT SPABy Will Robbins

The $150,000 Sanford Stakes (gr. III) kicks off the

annual battle for 2-year-old superiority July 23 at

Saratoga Race Course. Young talent abounds in the

compact field of five. This capable quintet of juveniles

graduated the maiden ranks with flying colors, and

each looks to add to their promising repertoires with

a graded stakes win at the Spa.

Rick Violette's protege Random Walk dominated

his debut at Belmont Park by 5 3/4 lengths for owner

Ralph Evans. The son of Super Saver breezed four

furlongs in :47.61 July 16 at Belmont in preparation

for this start; Jose Ortiz retains the mount from the 2

hole.

Trainer Eddie Kenneally sends out Joseph Sutton's

Bitumen, a Mineshaft colt who debuted at Churchill

Downs June 3, turning in a 6 3/4 length romp.

Hall of Fame inductee Steve Asmussen and

Winchell Thoroughbreds' Zartera rounds out the pair

of Churchill shippers, while Mathis Stable's Bronson

will represent leading trainer Todd Pletcher, who

won the 2015 Sanford with Uncle Vinny—his record

sixth victory. The gray Medaglia d'Oro runner won in

impressive fashion first out at Monmouth Park June

18, rallying to a 1 3/4 length score.

This year's winner will join the likes of Secretariat,

Affirmed, City Zip, More Than Ready, and Scat Daddy

as winning graduates of the 102-year-old Sanford. BH

HOMES BEING FOUND FOR ABANDONED HORSESBy Frank Angst

Officials from the Kentucky Department of Agricul-

ture say they've found at least temporary homes

for 15 of the 43 horses declared abandoned last

month at a Mercer County farm and are working to

find homes for the 28 horses who remain.

Rusty Ford, equine programs manager for the

Kentucky State Veterinarian's Office, said the process

of identifying the horses, determining ownership,

and finding homes continues.

He said that the six most underweight horses—in-

cluding three that were determined to be emaciat-

ed—have all improved.

Officials with the Kentucky Department of Agricul-

ture on June 29 charged trainer Maria Borell and her

father, Charles "Chuck" Borell, each with 43 counts of

second-degree cruelty to animals in connection with

the abandonment of the horses at the 121-acre farm

in Central Kentucky.

Ford said a total of eight horses—an initial group

of six and then two more—have been moved to the

Thoroughbred Retirement Foundation's Blackburn

Correctional Complex.

Five horses of other breeds were taken in by

Kentucky Horse Park executive director Laura Pre-

witt. Ford said the plan is to allow those five horses

time to get acclimated while being housed with each

other, and to make sure they have no communicable

diseases, before possibly moving them to the Horse

Park.

Old Friends Thoroughbred Retirement Farms in

Georgetown, Ky., has taken in two male horses.

Ford said 28 horses remain on the Mercer County

property and are being cared for by volunteers. He

said he's confident he's found a new residence for

the two remaining horses that are not Thorough-

breds.

"For the 26 remaining Thoroughbreds, we're in

the process of trying to find places to move them to,"

Ford said.

Old Friends founder Michael Blowen said neither

of the two horses the Georgetown farm welcomed

have been identified and because of the ongoing

legal case, they both wear yellow evidence tags. He

said the horses have steadily improved since arriving

in late June.

"They've quickly become fairly sociable consid-

ering they weren't around much human contact for

some time," Blowen said.

Ford, who updated the condition of the horses

at a meeting of the Kentucky Equine Health Welfare

Council July 19 as the state considers changes to its

animal welfare laws, specifically for horses and other

large animals, said efforts continue to identify all 43

horses and determine ownership.

Ford said the horses have reacted to care.

"When we first went out there, these horses were

stand-offish—I guess that is the way you'd describe

it. They'd let you come to them but they weren't real

anxious for it," Ford said. "Today you walk up to that

fence and they come to you. They've come to rec-

ognize and appreciate the love us humans have for

them and they're showing their appreciation to us as

well." BH

JEFFORDS MAKES MARK ON CCA OAKSBy Tom Hall

On July 23 at Saratoga Race Course, the Coaching

Club American Oaks (gr. I) for 3-year-old fillies

celebrates its centennial running. Born amidst the

strife of World War I in 1917, the Oaks—a test of

stamina and class—was modeled after England's

classic Epsom Oaks by August Belmont Jr.

This is the same August Belmont who owned

Nursery Stud near Lexington and bred a certain

chestnut Fair Play colt who was foaled March 29,

1917, only a week before the U.S. officially entered

the war. As did many other able-bodied men, Bel-

mont, then 65, served his country's war efforts. As a

result of his being abroad, his wife, the noted English

actress Eleanor Robson, named the colt Man o' War

and entered him in the 1918 Saratoga yearling sale.

There, he brought $5,000 from Samuel D. Riddle. The

rest of the story wove a legend.

So what does Man o' War have to do with the

Coaching Club American Oaks for 3-year-old fillies?

Well, Sam Riddle had a nephew by marriage, Walter

M. Jeffords, a successful businessman and horseman.

When Man o' War retired to stud at the end of his

3-year-old career in 1920, Jeffords had an "in" to the

stallion's services.

The Jeffords' broodmares included The Nurse,

among the first group to visit Man o' War in 1921.

The result of that date, a brown filly foaled in 1922,

was named in honor of the celebrated Englishwoman

who served as a nurse during the Crimean War. On

June 3, 1925, Florence Nightingale won the 1 3/8-mile

CCA Oaks by five lengths.

The following year, Jeffords returned to the CCA

Oaks with another daughter of Man o' War and The

Nurse, also named for a celebrated war nurse—Ed-

ith Cavell, who rendered aid to the wounded of both

sides and was executed by the Germans for treason.

Carrying the Jeffords' familiar green and white

silks, Edith Cavell upheld the theme of her family

tradition by posting a two-length victory.

Jeffords won the CCA Oaks in 1928 with a third

daughter of Man o' War, Bateau. Jeffords bred a

fourth winner in Creole Maid, who took the 1938 run-

ning for Jeffords' wife, Sarah. By Pharamond II, Creole

Maid was a granddaughter of Man o' War. BH

WINGS OF DESIRE FIGURES IN KING GEORGEBy Blood-Horse Staff

With a respiratory infection knocking last

year's winner Postponed from the King

George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes sponsored

by Quipco (Eng-I), Wings of Desire figures among

nine remaining runners confirmed for the 1 1/2-

mile test July 23 at Ascot.

The son of Pivotal, a full brother to Eagle Top—

runner-up in this race by a nose to Postponed in

2015—went fourth in the June 4 Investec Epsom

Derby (Eng-I) with an excellent effort last out and

won York's Dante Stakes (Eng-II) in May.

Trainer Roger Varian said Postponed, who is

unbeaten in three outings this season, was found

to have an unsatisfactory tracheal wash following

his final pre-race exercise Wednesday morning.

The 5-year-old son of Dubawi could have been

only the third repeat winner of the King George VI

and Queen Elizabeth Stakes since its beginning in

1951, joining Dahlia (1973, 1974) and Swain (1997,

1998).

“While this setback is only minor, it does rule

(Postponed) out of his assignment at the weekend

and he will undertake a brief period of recovery

before he returns to full work,” Varian said on his

website, Varianstable.com. “We will let the horse

recover from this setback before making a plan of

where he runs next. We still have many big days

ahead to look forward to.” BH

FIRST STARTER TIMES THREEBy Eric Mitchell

Alger Stallion Station has a deep rooting interest in

Marquis Downs' second race July 22, where three

juveniles by the farm's freshman sire Mighty Vow are

first-time starters.

Bred by Gordon Alger, the three starters are

Dreamoncharlie, a gelding out of the winning After-

noon Deelites mare Angel Deelite; Ms. Wally Rose,

a filly out of placed runner Shannara Rose (Slew

Express); and Ulook Ubuy, a gelding out of stakes-

placed Roman Numerals (Roman Ruler).

Ulook Ubuy appears to be the fastest, having

worked four furlongs June 30 at Marquis Downs in

:47 1/5, equaling the time and distance of the July 16

work by morning-line 5-2 favorite Uniter (Unification).

Al Hanson is the owner/trainer of Ulook Ubuy, who

will be ridden by Andrew Wright.

Also trained by Hanson, Ms. Wally Rose is owned

by Michelle Hough and will be ridden by Neville Ste-

phenson.

Dreamoncharlie, owned by Die Broke Farms and

trained by Don Senebald, will be ridden by Garfield

Gordon.

Bred in Maryland by Bittersweet Farm, Mighty

Vow (Broken Vow—Danyross, by Danehill) raced in

Canada for Camilla Farms, placing in two stakes at

Woodbine and retired having earned $178,163. He

stands for Can$1,500 at Alger Stallion Station near

WISE DAN TO RECEIVE ROOD & RIDDLE AWARDBy Blood-Horse Staff

Two-time Horse of the Year Wise Dan has been

selected to receive the inaugural Rood & Riddle

Comeback Award from the Rood & Riddle Equine

Hospital near Lexington.

The award, given to an equine athlete who over-

came a major health complication and returned to

elite competition, will be presented during Hats Off to

Kentucky's Horse Industry Day at the Kentucky Horse

Park July 30 as part of the opening ceremonies for

the Rood & Riddle Kentucky Grand Prix. Wise Dan will

make an appearance in the Rolex Stadium prior to

the trophy presentation.

A homebred for Morton Fink trained by Charlie

LoPresti, Wise Dan compiled a 23-2-0 record from 31

starts for earnings of $7,552,920 before being retired

in 2015 while attempting a comeback at age 8.

Wise Dan was cared for by Rood & Riddle veteri-

narians, primarily Dr. Larry Bramlage, who looked af-

ter his orthopedic needs, and Dr. Scott Hopper, who

performed colic surgery on the gelding in 2014.

"Wise Dan is a remarkable athlete and we are ex-

cited for him to receive this award. For him to recover

from major surgery and come back to the level of

competition he did and in such a short time is truly

remarkable," said LoPresti. "Rood & Riddle played

a large part in Wise Dan's success, specifically Drs.

Bramlage and Hopper. We are thankful to the entire

Rood & Riddle team." BH

FOAL RULES UPSET AUSTRALIAN BREEDERSBy Tara Madgwick

On July 12, Racing Australia released its final

version of a new set of rules regarding foals and

their ownership, which takes effect August 1.

Since 1878 the Australian Stud Book has governed

such matters, but under the new rules breeders will

formally be required to accept that they must abide

by the Rules of Racing when they file a mare return.

Within 30 days of the mare return being filed to

the Australian Stud Book, a Foal Declaration Form

must also be sent to the Registrar of Racehorses at

Racing Australia.

This Foal Declaration Form needs to be signed by

those with a "beneficial interest" in the foal and must

also stipulate the foal's location. Failure to comply

may lead to the foal being barred from being regis-

tered as a racehorse at a later date.

Racing Australia has justified its unprecedented

extension of power by a need for improved regula-

tion in relation to animal welfare and integrity as well

as enhanced record keeping.

Breeders are in complete agreement over the

need to address these important issues, particularly

after the recent move to abolish greyhound racing in

New South Wales, but many believe the Australian

Stud Book could have served them just as well.

"To bring breeders under the rules of racing is

an extreme and unnecessary measure to which we

are opposed," said Antony Thompson of Widden

Stud, the oldest family-run Thoroughbred stud in the

world.

"We have no formal representation on the board

of Racing Australia, so there is no voice for our indus-

try to be heard on the issues that relate to us.

"There is no Federal Racing Minister to preside

over Racing Australia, so there is no avenue of appeal

if mistakes are made and decisions taken impact on

us in a negative way.

"We had an instance last year where a media

storm erupted over a yearling that supposedly re-

turned a positive to an anabolic steroid (as defined

by the Australian Racing Board), which was later

found to be a commonly used hormone (Regu-mate).

"That was a damaging episode that could easily

have been avoided and highlights the lack of under-

standing of the breeding industry by some racing

administrators."

The current chairman of Racing Australia and

Racing NSW is John Messara, the principal of one of

Australia's biggest breeding operations, Arrowfield

Stud.

A number of breeders are apprehensive about

bringing all breeders under the control of Racing Aus-

tralia, which creates a situation whereby one of the

largest commercial breeders in the country is chair-

ing the body regulating his peers and competitors.

They feel the resulting potential for conflict of

interest is a scenario that would not be welcomed in

any other comparable industry. BH

INDUSTRYANALYSIS

AT FINGER LAKES, STATS TELL THE TALEBy Tom LaMarra

During a time of upheaval, the July 23 pro-

gram featuring the New York Derby and

New York Oaks at Finger Lakes Gaming & Race-

track is familiar and comforting for the upstate

track.

The $150,000 New York Derby for state-bred

3-year-olds drew a field of 10, seven of which

are based at New York Racing Association

tracks. Four of the six 3-year-old fillies entered

in the $75,000 Oaks for state-breds are stabled

at NYRA tracks.

The other six races on the Saturday program

are for claimers, and are not restricted to New

York foals. However, of 48 horses entered in

those six events, 38—or 79.1%—were foaled in

New York, and in three of them, every entrant is

a New York-bred.

So, as usual, the connections of stakes-qual-

ity 3-year-olds will ship to western New York to

cherry pick the big pots—there's nothing wrong

with that; that's what the program is all about—

and the rest of the card will be dominated by

the "other" New York-bred horses that keep

Finger Lakes in business.

Saturday's ratio of state-bred runners

to total entrants is actually higher than

the overall 70% average for the more than

150 racing programs a year. If there is any

number that drives home the importance of

Finger Lakes, it's that one, and the New York

Thoroughbred Breeders organization isn't

shy to point it out.

In 2015 there were 9,344 total starts

during the lengthy meet. Based on statistics,

roughly 6,500 were made by New York foals.

Of the $17.83 million in purses paid last

year, $3.76 million was reserved for restrict-

ed races. But again, based on the percent-

age of state-bred starts, New York foals

account for well over half of "open" purses

paid last year.

It's a critical time for Finger Lakes, given the

impending opening of a full-scale casino about

25 miles away that came about when the state,

via a casino expansion map, somehow deter-

mined the "Southern Tier" region extends to

Lake Ontario. That killed the "hold harmless"

provisions of state law that would have at least

kept Finger Lakes purses, which are supple-

mented by revenue from video lottery terminals

at the track, at previous levels.

Finger Lakes owner Delaware North did re-

ceive a tax break given competition from nearby

del Lago Resort & Casino is expected to dent the

track's VLT revenue by about 30%. The new ca-

sino has said Delaware North's tax break should

help offset purse reductions, but the chances

of a company that hasn't even invested a few

million dollars in a turf course giving profits to

purses seem slim to none.

The NYTB continues to press the issue, as do

the Finger Lakes horsemen who invested in a

pretty sharp spring advertising campaign point-

ing out the importance of racing and breeding
