PRINCESS ARABELLA RETIRED Peachtree Stable’s undefeated J “TDN RisingStar” J Princess Arabella (Any Given Saturday) hasbeen retired due to a soft-tissue injury. An eight-lengthwinner of the Sunland Park Oaks last time Mar. 25, the

sophomore filly was one of thefavorites for the May 4 GI Kentucky Oaks. “She cameback with a soft-tissue problemand was going to need six orseven months off,” explainedtrainer Bob Baffert on HRTVThursday. “So we decided, inher best interest, to retire herand send her back to Kentucky[to be bred]. It’s such a shame

because she was such a brilliant filly and we were reallylooking forward to a big Kentucky Oaks run. All herraces were so effortless. It’s a big blow to the Baffertbarn--they’re so hard to come by when you get a freakyfilly like that.” Baffert and John Fort’s operation teamedup to complete last term’s Sunland Oaks/KentuckyOaks double with Plum Pretty (Medaglia d’Oro) andthey still have fellow J “TDN Rising Star” J andrecent GII Fantasy S. heroine Mamma Kimbo (DiscreetCat) penciled in for the first Friday in May.

SECRET CIRCLE INJURED, OUT OF DERBY In another loss for the Baffert barn, Watson, Weitman& Pegram’s J “TDN Rising Star” J Secret Circle(Eddington), winner of the inaugural Breeders’ CupJuvenile Sprint last November and one of the most

consistent members of thisyear’s 3-year-old crop, will passon the GI Kentucky Derby.Despite amassing a perfectrecord over sprint distances in2011, Secret Circle has racedexclusively at two turns thisyear, finishing second in theGIII Sham S. over a mile Jan. 7,

then made the first of his three trips to Arkansas asuccessful one, taking the faster of the two divisions ofthe GIII Southwest S. Feb. 20. Though manyquestioned his ability to stretch out even further, theattractive bay colt held on to land the 1 1/16-mile GII Rebel S. by a half-length Mar. 17 and was closest tostablemate Bodemeister (Empire Maker) in lastSaturday’s GI Arkansas Derby going nine panels,crossing the line 9 1/2 lengths behind the possibleDerby favorite. Secret Circle has amassed a careerrecord of 7-5-2-0 and earnings of $1,018,990.

SHAMARDAL COLT SHINES AT CRAVEN After Wednesday’s quiet opener, last night’sconcluding session of the Tattersalls Craven Breeze-UpSale seemed like a differentevent with an evening headedby a 500,000gns (US$842,912)Shamardal colt. The dearestbreeze-up horse sold in Britainfor four years, he rocketed inprice as John Ferguson,accompanied in the salespavilion by Sheikh Mohammed,eventually outbid Peter Kelly ofEmerald Bloodstock, who wastaking orders from CountyTipperary trainer David Marnane. The colt wasconsigned by Tally-Ho Stud in County Westmeath. "He was a very athletic individual, he breezedexceptionally well and is by a sire we know and trust,”said Ferguson. “Hopefully, he’ll be a top 2-year-old.” For Roger O’Callaghan, who now helps his parentsTony and Anne with the day-to-day running of Tally-Ho,it was a memorable result. O’Callaghan had bought thecolt for 53,000gns as a foal, and bought him back for45,000gns as a yearling. "He was easily the biggest sale we have had,”O’Callaghan said. “We loved him from the day webought him as a foal, and we were hoping for100,000gns-150,000gns, but this far exceeded ourexpectations.” Cont. p4

“It’s a shame and it’s one of those things--it’s a partof racing,” Baffert said of the loss of Princess Arabella,who broke her maiden first out at Santa Anita Dec. 31by 3 1/2 lengths followed by an allowance tally by thesame margin Feb. 12. “The talent was just amazing.Every time I led her out I didn’t have to worry if shewas going to get beat or not. There are very few thatgive you that feeling.” Peachtree principal John Fort said that PrincessArabella is currently in Kentucky at Taylor Made Farm,and said that he hoped to send her to Tapit this year.Bred in Kentucky by Greenwich Cattle Company, the

$47,000 KEESEP RNA is outof a full-sister to Peachtree’s GI Kentucky Derby runner-up Invisible Ink (ThunderGulch). “I hope I don’tsound like an ownerbragging about his horses,but she was just a littlemore than another goodracehorse,” Fort said in aninterview on TVG. “She wasso explosively brilliant. I’venever seen a horse quite likethat and I’ve been involvedin racing for 35 years.” Fortwas quick to compare hisstar-crossed runner with oneof racing’s greats. “I’m from

South Carolina and, of course, Frank Whiteley trainedthere at Camden and I remember him saying that everytime they took Ruffian to the track they just sort ofheld their breath. And, this filly, because she put somuch into it and she was so fast, you just were soafraid that something might happen. This filly gaveeveryone who watched her train the same feeling.“ Hecontinued, “What a big, gifted filly--16.2 [hands] with astride from here to Texas. It’s that kind, unfortunatelyin this business that can get hurt. What an honor tohave owned her, what an honor that she wasundefeated and untested. I hope the Thoroughbredworld will recognize her and always think about her inthat pantheon of champions. There are so many waysto achieve greatness. You can have a long career, youcan win a few marquee races or you can have threeraces that were just absolutely brilliant and that wasPrincess Arabella.” Princess Arabella retires withearnings of $188,400 from three winning starts.

Craven Sale cont.

"I have to thank Michael Hussey, who has done a lotof work with the horse and rode him in his breeze--he isa gift,” O’Callaghan added. “The mare is owned byMark and Pippa Hackett, and is being covered by ourstallion Bushranger (Ire) tonight!" The buoyant second session helped the sale finishwith an 8,578,000gns turnover, up 7%, and the73,316gns average rose by 3%, while the 57,000gnsmedian was down by 5%. A daughter of Shamardal took second place on thepecking order when realizing 360,000gns after RichardFrisby came out best in a duel with fellow Newmarketagent Mags O’Toole for the filly consigned from WillieBrowne’s Mocklershill operation. The half-sister tostakes performer Courageous (Ire) (Refuse to Bend{Ire}) was bred in Ireland by the McCalmont family’sYeomanstown Lodge Stud, and had not previouslypassed through a sale. "I can’t say who she is for, but she’ll either go into

training in Newmarket or inFrance," said Frisby. "I thoughtshe was the pick of the fillieshere, and she breezedexceptionally well. It’s a verygood female family and one Iknow quite well, as I manage ahalf-sister to her relative FairyQueen (Ire). The family continuescropping up year after year." Abu Dhabi royal family

member Sheikh Sultan bin Khalifa Al Nahyan, biddingthrough Richard Brown of Blandford Bloodstock, paid280,000gns for a Street Boss half-brother to ChurchillDowns stakes winner Record (Devil His Due) sold fromJohn Collins’ Brown Island Stables. The colt had costjust $22,000 as a yearling at Keeneland.

"This colt’s breeze was awesome," said Brown, whooutbid agent Tom Malone. "He and the Oasis Dream webought [for 160,000gns on Wednesday] were the twowe really made a play for, and I’m delighted to have gotboth. This fellow made a bit more than we expected topay. The horses were a lot better tonight, so I thoughtit would be stronger, but it has been like a differentsale." Newmarket trainer Marco Botti outbid agent DavidRedvers early on to get a Cape Cross (Ire) colt out ofThiella (Kingmambo), a daughter of GI Del Mar Oaksrunner-up Theoretically (Theatrical {Ire}). Offered fromCharlie and Tracy Vigors’ Hillwood Stud, the coltrocketed in price from the £40,000 he had cost atDoncaster as a yearling when knocked down to Bottifor 200,000gns. "I have an owner for him, but he doesn’t want me tosay who it is at the moment," said Botti. "The horsebreezed really well and he’s physically a very goodmodel, especially for a first foal. He can probably raceover seven furlongs, and he’s by a stallion that hasthrown a lot of good horses. I like the cross with aKingmambo mare." Charlie Gordon-Watson, standing with Ed Dunlop,was taken by a War Front colt offered from PaddyTwomey’s Hawthorn Villa Stud offered near the closeof play. Twomey had paid $105,000 for the colt atKeeneland in September, and he resold for 175,000gnslast night. At the sale’s end, Tattersalls chairman EdmondMahony commented: "There has been plenty ofcompetition at the top of the market this week, anumber of spectacular pinhooking successes, and theindividual highlight of the 500,000gns sale topperwhich was the third highest price ever at the CravenBreeze-Up. "Buyers from throughout the world, most notably theGulf region and Hong Kong, have had a major impacton the sale, and we are naturally delighted that the keyindicators of turnover, average, median and clearancerate have held up so well. "The figures should also be placed in the context ofconditions for the breeze which were far from ideal.The 2-year-olds coped admirably in wind and drivingrain and, as ever, paid tribute to the professionalism ofthe consignors who brought some outstandingindividuals to the marketplace. "Nevertheless, it would be wrong to pretend that allhas been plain sailing over the last two days. Themarket has been selective at times and served as areminder that the continuing economic uncertainty,particularly in Europe, continues to pose challenges. "The positives that can be taken from this sale shouldhowever give cause for cautious optimism as we lookforward to the Tattersalls Guineas Breeze-Up andHorses in Training Sale which takes place May 3-4."

Dayatthespa debuted a four-length winner sprintingover the Saratoga lawn last August before checking insecond--one spot in front of subsequent GI DarleyAlcibiades heroine Stephanie’s Kitten (Kitten’s Joy)--inWoodbine’s GIII Natalma S. the following month. Jerryand Ronald Frankel bought into the filly at that point,but she could do no better than ninth behindStephanie’s Kitten in the GII Breeders’ Cup JuvenileFillies Turf at Churchill Nov. 4. It has been a verydifferent story this year. The chestnut showed a newdimension when rallying from far off the pace to annexGulfstream’s Jan. 22 Sweetest Chant S. and followedthat up with a more forwardly placed neck victory inthe GIII Herecomesthebride S. last time over Regalo Miaback in Hallandale Mar. 11.

“She’s very nervous,” noted winning trainer ChadBrown of his charge. “She had me a little worriedpre-race, but that’s her. She’s very high-strung;I think that’s part of what makes her good.” Of herfront-running tactics, Brown said, “After watching a lotof the races at this meet already, some of our horseswere a little too far back, so we had a plan. This is theright type of horse to do that, because she has goodspeed from the gate. [Jockey] Javier [Castellano]executed it perfectly.” Veteran Alex Solis, who rodeSomali Lemonade to victory in this venue’s GIII Jessamine S. last fall, was aboard for her returnrace yesterday.

An early 2-year-old in the Hannon mold, TrumpetMajor broke his maiden over six furlongs at Goodwoodin May before making little impact in the G2 CoventryS. at Royal Ascot the next month. Beaten a short headby Talwar (Ire) (Acclamation {GB}) in the seven-furlongListed Winkfield S. back at Ascot in July, he was nearlynine lengths behind that rival when last of four ontesting ground in Sandown's G3 Solario S. a monthlater after an interim win in a conditions race on theJuly Course.

EARL OF SEFTON S. cont.

John Gosden thought enough of Questioning to tryhim in the G2 Prix Greffulhe at Saint-Cloud last May,but he was fifth in that Classic trial prior to a gamethird in the G3 Darley S. over this track and trip inOctober. Denied a clear run when third--promoted tosecond--in the Apr. 1 Listed Doncaster Mile on his4-year-old bow, the bay stepped up off that promisingreturn to lower the colors of course specialist TwiceOver for a career-best. Settled off the early speed byWilliam Buick, he found a gap as the favorite was sentto the front passing the quarter pole, and rallied to wearhim down in the final strides. "He got knocked over atDoncaster the other day when he should have won, sohe deserved it," trainer John Gosden said of the winner,who had to survive an enquiry after leaning acrossTwice Over close home. "He's been a bit of a bad-luckhorse who has sometimes hung fire, but he's been inthe best form ever at home this year, and has stuck hisneck out today. He could run next in the G3 Huxley S.[at Chester May 10]."

Back to winning ways in a 10-furlongconditions event at Leicester in early October, the baytackled a similar race over this course and distance atthe end of the month, and was an unthreatening thirdbehind Godolphin's Mojave (Ire) (Dubawi {Ire}). Settledin mid-division early here, he was moved up to leadwith 2 1/2 furlongs remaining and was always holdingthe spirited challenge of Mickdaam up the risingground. "There will be plenty of nice races for him, buthe's not in the Derby," Richard Hannon Jr. commented."I was very impressed with the way he traveledthrough the race, and he always looked the winner tome. He seems to be back to his best, as after his debuthe was on his way to being a disappointment."

PACHATTACK BACK IN DOUBLEDOGDARE Last year’s GI Breeders’ Cup Ladies’ Classic third-place finisher Pachattack makes her first start for newconnections in today’s GIII Hillard Lyons DoubledogdareS. at Keeneland. Flaxman Holdings went to $1.2 millionto secure the former Druid Racing representative at lastyear’s Fasig-Tipton November Sale. Trainer GrahamMotion saddles the 6-year-old, who was campaigned byGerard Lyons last term to a six-length win in the GIII Arlington Matron S. and a trio of Grade I placings,for the first time. She has been stabled at Motion’s FairHill base ever since. “She was there all winter becauseit was so mild,” explained assistant trainer David Rock.“She missed no training at all. She had her last workthere Monday (five furlongs in 1:02) and arrived hereTuesday night.” Bill Mott sends out a fresh face of hisown in Juddmonte Farms’ Principal Role. The homebredwas a multiple stakes winner in Britain for Sir HenryCecil and finished third behind Midday (Oasis Dream{GB}) and Snow Fairy (Ire) (Intikhab) in last July’s G1 Nassau S. at Goodwood.

With the groundcurrently good-to-soft, soft in places, the Beckhampton-based conditioner is hoping that it does not deterioratetoo much. "I think at this stage, it is drying up a bit, butthere is more rain forecast and he's an exceptionallygood-moving horse, so with two weeks before aClassic, you wouldn't want to have a grueling race,"Charlton said.
