CENTURY DREAM ON TOPIN THE CELEBRATION MILE
Robbed of Benbatl (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}) due to the testing
ground at Goodwood, Saturday=s G2 Ladbrokes Celebration Mile
become a duel between another two top-level performers
Century Dream (Ire) (Cape Cross {Ire}) and Regal Reality (GB)
(Intello {Ger}) with the former claiming the bragging rights.
Returning refreshed from a break having finished fifth in the
G1 Prix d=Ispahan at Chantilly July 19, Century Dream who was
left as the 11-4 favourite following the withdrawal of
Godolphin=s standard-setter tracked Regal Reality in second
before swooping two out and drawing clear under coaxing from
James Doyle to score by 4 1/2 lengths. Sir Busker (Ire) (Sir
Prancealot {Ire}) denied Regal Reality second by 1 3/4 lengths as
the winner proved a class apart. AThey went a good pace and he
settled really well and travelled really well into it,@ Ed Crisford
commented. AThe ground is the key to him--he gets through it
better than most.@
Abdulla Belhabb=s Century Dream came back from a wind
operation to successfully mark his seasonal return in the
G3 Diomed S. staged over this trip having been switched from
Epsom to Newbury. That was his second win in that contest,
with his 2018 triumph on the famous Downs his first in pattern
company and he rounded off that campaign with a close third in
Ascot=s G1 Queen Elizabeth II S. That is where the winner is
headed again according to Ed Crisford.
ISABELLA GILES GIVES BELARDO HIS
BREAKTHROUGH Kildangan Stud=s first-season sire Belardo (Ire) was off the
mark in black-type company on Saturday as his daughter
Isabella Giles (Ire) ran away with Goodwood=s seven-furlong
G3 Ladbrokes Prestige S. Sent off the 11-4 second favourite
following her latest fourth in the G3 Princess Margaret S. over a
furlong shorter at Ascot July 26, Paul and Clare Rooney=s bay
tracked the free-running Pomelo (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}) in second
from the break. Staying in the centre of the straight as that 5-4
market-leader went stand=s side, she was in front approaching
the two-furlong pole and stayed on strongly to register a
commanding seven-length success from Prado (GB) (Iffraaj
{GB}), with the solid yardstick Seattle Rock (GB) (Fastnet Rock
{Aus}) a head away in third. AClearly the progeny of Belardo
have no difficulty with the soft ground,@ trainer Clive Cox said.
AShe has got a lovely nature, we really like her and that was
great.@ Successful in a Leicester maiden June 13 and a novice at
Newbury July 8 over six furlongs, Isabella Giles looked in need of
farther when 1 1/2-lengths behind Santosha (Ire) (Coulsty {Ire})
in the Princess Margaret. Cont. p2

Century Dream takes Celebration Mile cont. from p1
AWe will go wherever the ground is soft--the [G1 Prix du]
Moulin looks very punchy this year with Pinatubo, so whether
we go there or swerve that, I don=t know,@ said Ed Crisford. AHe
has run well at Ascot before and finished fourth in the Queen
Anne and third in the QEII a couple of years ago and he likes
Ascot. He runs well there and you are pretty much going to get
soft ground. Palace Pier, winning the St James=s Palace and in
the way he won in France the other day when it was soft, he has
shown to be an exceptional three-year-old. We are an older
horse and we think we can run well, I think we can serve it up to
him, but it would be a tough one.@
William Knight said of the talented but quirky Sir Busker, who
was stepping up from handicap company, AWe all want to win so
it is slightly disappointing coming second, but at the same time
Century Dream is a good horse, especially on that sort of
ground. Going forwards, it was good to see him perform well in
that sort of company though. He is now rated 111 so that makes
life tough in any sort of handicap, so we will have to stick to
these type of races. I think we would probably drop him back
into either a listed or group three race on his next start.@
Pedigree Notes: Century Dream=s dam Salacia (Ire) (Echo of Light {GB}) is also
responsible for last year=s QEII hero King of Change (GB) (Farhh
{GB}) who was also second in the G1 2000 Guineas. The second
dam Neptune=s Bride (Bering {GB}) annexed the G3 Prix Fille de
l=Air and is in turn a daughter of the G3 Prix de Ris-Orangis
winner Wedding of the Sea (Blushing Groom {Fr}). Also
connected to the game and tough, seven-times graded stakes-
winning Hail Hilarious (Fast Hilarious) and the California Oaks
winner and GI Santa Barbara H. runner-up Countess Fager (Dr.
Fager), Salacia=s 3-year-old filly Banna (GB) (Pivotal {GB}) is as-
yet unraced, as is her 2-year-old filly Royal Event (Ire) (Golden
Horn {GB}), while her yearling filly is by Sea the Stars (Ire).

G3 Prestige S. cont. from p1
Cox added, AShe has been pleasing all the way and we were
looking forward stepping up a furlong as well. She has coped
with the ground today and I think another furlong would be well
within her compass next year. She is an exciting filly. She is a
really nice filly and I=m thrilled she has shown it on the track as
she is very laid-back at home, but clearly she knows what it=s
about when she goes racing. I would say the [G2] Rockfel [at
Newmarket] will be likely, as long as she comes back from here
well. She is thriving with racing and physically she is getting
stronger every week. I would be inclined to hope that next year
is even better.@

DEJA VU Following the example set by his half-brother Sir Ron Priestley
(GB) (Australia {GB}) 12 months ago, Subjectivist (GB) (Teofilo
{Ire}) repeated his feat in winning Goodwood=s G3 Ladbrokes
March S. on Saturday. Setting a merciless gallop in the testing
ground, the 11-10 favourite relished the stamina test and
galloped to a resounding 15-length success under Joe Fanning.
TDN Rising Star Cabaletta (GB) (Mastercraftsman {Ire}) was
second, 21 lengths ahead of Celtic Art (Fr) (Mastercraftsman
{Ire}) as the winner dragged all three rivals into the red. Cont. p4

Subjectivist (GB) | racingfotos.com
Only seventh behind Pyledriver (GB) (Harbour Watch {Ire}) in
York=s G2 Great Voltigeur S. last time Aug. 19, the bay is heading
for a rematch with that rival in the Sept. 12 G1 St Leger that Sir
Ron Priestley went on to be second in last term.
AIt wasn=t the original plan to come here, as we think he needs
time between his races, but then
the wheels came off in the
Voltigeur and when this race
broke up so much, we had to
come here,@ Mark Johnston said.
AProvided he=s okay, now you
have to look to the Leger. A test of
stamina is obviously very
important.@ Third behind another
potential Doncaster rival in
Hukum (Ire) (Sea the Stars {Ire}) in
Ascot=s 12-furlong King George V
H. June 17, Subjectivist was
second in a handicap over this trip
at Haydock July 5 prior to winning Hamilton=s Listed Glasgow S.
over 11 furlongs July 16. A close third in the G3 Gordon S. here
July 30 prior to his backward step in the Voltigeur, he will take a
relentless galloping style to the final British Classic which will
stand him in fine stead as it did his half-sibling last year.
Pedigree Notes: The aforementioned Sir Ron Priestley was the second foal out
of Reckoning (Ire) (Danehill Dancer {Ire}), who placed three
times at listed level and is kin to GIII My Charmer H. runner-up
Hope Cross (Ire) (Cape Cross
{Ire}). This is also the family of
the G1 Gran Criterium hero and
G1 Irish Derby runner-up
Sholokhov (Ire) and the G1 Irish
Derby and G1 Coronation Cup
hero Soldier of Fortune (Ire) by
Teofilo=s sire Galileo (Ire), as well
as the G1 Dewhurst S. winner
Intense Focus (Giant=s Causeway)
and the G1 Moyglare Stud S.
heroine Skitter Scatter (Scat
Daddy). Reckoning=s 2-year-old
filly by Alba Rose (GB) (Muhaarar
{GB}) was runner-up at Lingfield
earlier this month for the same connections, while her yearling
filly by Ulysses (Ire) is due to sell at the Tattersalls October
Yearling Sale Book 2.

EXTRA ELUSIVE AT THE DOUBLE
Imad Al Sagar=s Extra Elusive (GB) (Mastercraftsman {Ire}),
who secured a first stakes score in Haydock=s G3 Rose of
Lancaster S. earlier this month, doubled his black-type tally with
victory in Saturday=s G3 Gallagher Group Winter Hill S. at
Windsor. Lobbing along in second from flagfall, the 3-1 second
choice was stoked up for his challenge passing the quarter-mile
marker and kept on strongly underneath the far-side rail to
prevail by a length from 5-6 favourite Fox Chairman (Ire)
(Kingman {GB}) in game fashion.

AI love him and I just feel really blessed at the moment to get
my leg up on these types of horses, good horses,@ said winning
rider Hollie Doyle after partnering the fourth of her five winners
on the card. AHe settled so well today taking a lead and we went
a nice, even gallop in a nice rhythm. It probably isn=t his track or
preferred ground to be honest, but he=s on the up. I just go with
him and let him take me along. I don=t complicate things. He=s
got bags of ability, he=s physically beautiful and he=d have no
trouble getting 12 furlongs if he keeps on relaxing the way he
has the last twice.@ Trainer Roger Charlton added, AI=m really
pleased for him and for Hollie, it was a great ride. It wouldn=t be
his choice of ground or his choice of track, but he did it well and
I would say it=s the best performance he=s put up. He=s not an
easy horse and he=s quite keen, but Hollie is remarkable and she
had him very settled there. I don=t know where he=ll go next as
there are no more Group 2s for him, the only Group 1 is the
Champion S. and the owner is keen to run him in the Saudi Cup
on dirt.@
Pedigree Notes Extra Elusive, from the family of MG1SW sire Xaar (GB)
(Zafonic), is one of two pattern-race winners for the unraced
Nessina (Hennessy) and he is kin to G2 Gimcack S.-winning sire
Ajaya (GB) (Invincible Spirit {Ire}), the hitherto unraced 2-year-
old filly Mariam (GB) (Fastnet Rock {Aus}), a yearling colt by
Siyouni (Fr) and a 2020 Invincible Spirit (Ire) filly. His G2 Dahlia
H.-winning second dam Didina (GB) (Nashwan) produced stakes-

DEAUVILLE SIGNS OFF Normandy waves goodbye to the summer action on Sunday,
when the month-long festival culminates with the G2 Lucien
Barriere Grand Prix de Deauville. There are no stars on show on
the card, which also features the G3 Barriere Prix de Meautry
and G3 Barriere Prix Quincey, but the main event offers
Telecaster (GB) (New Approach {Ire}) the chance to shine after
his fourth in the July 25 G2 York S. A month prior, Castle Down
Racing=s 4-year-old had beaten subsequent G1 Prix Jean
Romanet third Romanciere (Ire) (Dansili {GB}) by four lengths in
ParisLongchamp=s G3 La Coupe also over 10 furlongs and this
step up to 12.5 furlongs could bring about more improvement.

Mohammed Obaid Al Maktoum=s June 7 G1 1000 Guineas
runner-up Cloak of Spirits (Ire) (Invincible Spirit {Ire}) revert to
seven furlongs after failing to go on from that Newmarket
Classic effort.
HOLLIE DOYLE IN WINDSOR FIVE-TIMER
Hollie Doyle recorded a 899-1 five-timer at Windsor on
Saturday, in the process becoming the first female rider to win
five races on a card in the UK.
Doyle has enjoyed a landmark campaign, earning a first win at
Royal Ascot in June before taking her first group race with Dame
Malliot (GB) (Champs Elysees {GB}) in the G2 Princess of Wales=s
S. in July and gaining a riding contract with Imad Al Sagar. It was
for that boss that she won the card=s featured G3 Winter Hill S.
aboard Extra Elusive (GB) (Mastercraftsman {Ire}). She also took
the other stake on the card, the Listed August S., aboard Aziz
Kheir=s Le Don De Vie (GB) (Leroidesanimaux {Brz}).
AWhen I woke up this morning I thought it could go one way or
the other. I could have a good day or a really bad day,@ Doyle
told Sky Sports Racing. AThe last few years have been awesome,
but you=ve got to keep on improving and pushing more and
more. I like riding under pressure, I feel with the better rides I
get I like it more. I love riding horses, you=ve got to to do this
job.@
Extra Elusive=s trainer Roger Charlton said, AI=m really pleased
for him and for Hollie, it was a great ride. It wouldn=t be his
choice of ground or his choice of track, but he did it well and I
would say it=s the best performance he=s put up. Hollie is
remarkable--he=s not an easy horse, he=s quite keen but she had
him very settled there. The biggest work is carrying the saddle
out for her, I think there must have been three stones of lead in
there.@
COX PLATE AIM FOR ASPETAR G2 York S. winner Aspetar (Fr) (Al Kazeem {GB}) is bound for
Australia=s G1 Cox Plate, having had to miss the G1 Juddmonte
International earlier this month.
AIf we can get him there, we=re going to run in the Cox Plate,@
Charlton told Sky Sports Racing. AHe has to do quarantine
himself for two weeks, then they [Charlton=s staff] have to go via
Sydney for two weeks before the horse arrives. Currently there
are no flights to Sydney, so there are a lot of hurdles to jump. He
would get there at the beginning of October and the race is the
middle of October.

FIRST-SEASON SIRESWITH RUNNERS
In addition to this year=s York S. Aspetar took last year=s
G2 Grand Prix de Chantilly and G1 Preis von Europa, but
Charlton indicated he thinks the 5-year-old gelding is below the
cut required to win a G1 Champion S.
AIf you ran him in a Champion S. here he might be fourth or
fifth, he=s an honourable little horse, but it=s a sharp track out
there and I think it will suit.@

Successful in a course-and-distance conditions event on this
ground on his final 2-year-old start in November, Brad the Brief
returned to add a handicap to his tally at Haydock June 8 before
running third back in a conditions race at the latter venue July 5
and ninth in a Chester handicap Aug. 20. Racing prominently
until losing touch with Highland Dress heading down into the
Adip@, the bay got motoring again heading back uphill and
secured the lead inside the last 75 yards before holding the
Stewards= Cup winner Summerghand.
The winner is the first foal out of Kenzadargent who took the
Listed Prix des Jouvenceaux et des Jouvencelles at two and the
Miss Liberty S. at four and was placed four times in group and
graded-stakes company including a third in the G2 Prix de
Sandringham. From the family of the GI Oaklawn H.-winning sire
Atticus (Nureyev) and the G1 Premio Lydia Tesio heroine Dubai
Surprise (Ire) (King=s Best), her unraced 2-year-old colt Taipan

Le Don de Vie, who ran fourth in 12-furlong handicaps at Ascot
and Haydock earlier this term, finished third in Goodwood=s July
31 G3 Glorious S. on stakes bow last time and stepped forward
to claim a career high in this stepping stone to a campaign Down
Under. Restrained in third behind a modest pace until tanking
into second at halfway, he loomed large going well approaching
the two pole and was driven clear in the closing stages to win in
ultimately comfortable fashion.
ALe Don De Vie is a good horse and won well,@ said winning
trainer Hughie Morrison. ASince he ran at Haydock in July, he=s
come to himself, but he=s keen enough so we don=t train him
much at home. He goes to Australia next month to join another
trainer and goes on any ground. I=ve entered him in the [G1]
Caulfield Cup and [G1] Melbourne Cup and I think he=ll probably
go straight for the former.@
Le Don de Vie, kin to the unraced 2-year-old colt Law of the
Sea (GB) (Golden Horn {GB}) and a yearling colt by Sir Percy
(GB), is the first foal out of Leaderene (GB) (Selkirk), herself a
multiple-winning half-sister to G1 Prix de l-Opera heroine Lady
Marian (Ger) (Nayef) and German Group 3 winner Lucidor (Ger)
(Zafonic). Lady Marian is the dam of G2 Grand Prix de Deauville
and G2 Dubai City of Gold hero Loxley (Ire) (New Approach
{Ire}). Le Don de Vie=s third dam La Concordia (Ger) (Surumu
{Ger}) is a stakes-placed full-sister to G3 Neusser Herbst-
Stutenpreis victrix and G3 German 1000 Guineas runner-up La
Colorada (Ger), who in turn produced MG1SW sire Lomitas (GB)
(Niniski). La Concordia is also a full-sister to La Virginia, whose
trio of pattern-race winners is headed by G1 Deutsches Derby
and G1 Preis von Europa hero Lavirco (Ger) (Konigsstuhl {Ger}).

BELIEVE IN LOVE (IRE) (f, 3, Make Believe {GB}--Topka {Fr}, by
Kahyasi {Ire}), who had followed a success in a 12-furlong
handicap at the Qatar Goodwood festival on July 28 with a clear-
cut course-and-distance win on Aug. 15, travelled easily in
mid-division throughout the early stages. Cruising to the front
with minimal effort approaching three out, the 11-4 second
favourite kicked clear to win by 10 lengths and wave goodbye to
handicaps. AThey went a good gallop and 4 1/2 down I was
wishing I was a bit further back as I knew I=d get there too early,
but she=s so genuine,@ jockey Ray Dawson said. AWe thought
after last time she would definitely be able to pick up a bit of
black-type, but she=s done even better there in what looked a
tougher race and relished the step up in trip. I=m sure she=ll get
two miles and while this ground slows others, it doesn=t slow her
down. She fills you with confidence and the sky=s the limit for
her.@ The last known foal out of the G2 Prix de Malleret and G3
Prix Penelope-placed Topka, the winner is a half-sister to Top
Trip (GB) (Dubai Destination) who captured the G2 Prix
Hocquart and was second in the G2 Yorkshire Cup and third in
the G1 Gold Cup at Ascot, GSW-Fr & G1SP-Eng, $350,132. This is
also the family of the G3 Premio Chiusura winner Salselon (GB)
(Salse), the G1 Queen Elizabeth S.-winning sire

lengths from Forbidden Secret (GB) (Pearl Secret {GB}). The
dam, a half to the Listed Rose Bowl S. winner and G2 Richmond

LEGAL ATTACK (GB) (c, 2, Shalaa {Ire}--Lauren Louise {GB}, by
Tagula {Ire}), recovered from a sluggish exit to track all three
rivals for most of this debut. Nudged along passing the two pole,
the 11-10 chalk quickened smartly into second entering the final
furlong and kept on strongly under mild coaxing in the latter
stages to prevail by 3/4-of-a-length from Shark Two One (GB)
(Adaay {Ire}), becoming the sixth winner for his freshman sire
(by Invincible Spirit {Ire}). From a family featuring GI Breeders=
Cup Sprint-winning sire Lit de Justice (El Gran Senor) and G1

(Sadler=s Wells), he is also the fifth scorer produced by a winning
half to Listed Prix Urban Sea third Golden Accolade (GB) (Highest

ZAHRATTY (IRE) (f, 3, Muhaarar (GB)--Beach Bunny {Ire} {SW &

third behind the stable=s Bizzi Lizzi (GB) (Muhaarar {GB}) over a
mile on debut here on July 25, raced in second from the outset.
In front with 1 1/2 furlongs remaining, the 5-2 second favourite
held off stablemate Moonlight In Paris (Ire) (Camelot {GB}) to
score by 3/4 of a length. Domino Darling (GB) (Golden Horn
{GB}), who had been so impressive on her winning start at
Doncaster in October, was the 7-4 favourite and threatened two
out but could only finish fifth. The winner is a half-sister to the
dual listed scorer and G3 Bengough S. runner-up Naadirr (Ire)
(Oasis Dream {GB}), MSW & GSP-Eng, GSP-Ity, $307,838, and to
the Listed Coolmore Stud EBF Fillies Sprint S. winner Beach Belle
(GB) (Invincible Spirit {Ire}) who is in turn the dam of this year=s
Listed King Charles II S. scorer Surf Dancer (Ire) (Lope de Vega
{Ire}). The dam, who took the Listed Dance Design S. and was
runner-up in the G1 Pretty Polly S., G2 Blandford S., G3 Noblesse
S. and G3 Ridgewood Pearl S., has now produced six winners
from as many runners. She is a granddaughter of Miss Tahiti
(Ire) (Tirol {Ire}), who annexed the G1 Prix Marcel Boussac and
was runner-up in the G1 Prix de Diane and G1 Prix Saint-Alary
before producing the G1 1000 Guineas heroine Miss France (Ire)

win in a novice over this trip on Newcastle=s Tapeta on Aug. 2,
broke alertly to track the leading duo early. Tanking to the front
approaching the two-furlong marker, the 11-4 favourite drew
away to win impressively by 4 1/4 lengths from Vindobala (Ire)
(Pride of Dubai {Aus}). The winner is the eighth foal and set to
be the best out of the G3 Prix d=Aumale winner Birthstone (GB)
(Machiavellian), who is a daughter of the G3 Prix de la Grotte
winner and G1 Prix de Diane runner-up Baya (Nureyev). She is in

Laying claim to being one of the day=s most impressive
winners, Galileo Chrome continued his steep upward trajectory
on his first try at this trip. Following a 10-furlong Curragh
maiden win on June 12 with a six-length success over the same
trip at Leopardstown on July 31, the bay was reserved with two
behind early by Shane Crosse and moved with notable menace
in early straight. As most around him were beginning to struggle,
Galileo Chrome was only getting going as he took control
approaching the two-furlong marker and as soon as the whip
was applied surged clear for an emphatic success.
AShane said he=s an absolute dream, as he=s switched off over
that trip,@ Joseph O=Brien=s assistant Brendan Powell
commented. AHe said he quickened up lovely and when Gavin
came up his inside he thought he was in trouble for a minute but
he said he just had a little look around in front. I know he took it
up a long way out in Leopardstown, but he=s still a big baby. The
way he galloped away in the last half furlong made a big
difference. He=s got a massive future. He=s answered a lot of
questions today, he stays well and he has the speed to go a
mile-and-a-quarter as well. Would he be a Leger horse? That=s
completely up to Joseph and the owners. He=s going the right
direction and the world is his oyster at the minute. He=s got
everything to him, he=s got size, power and he relaxes as well.
When you=ve got all that together you=d think he=s going to be a
good horse.@
Galileo Chrome is the first runner for the dam, who also has a
yearling full-sister to the winner and a colt foal by Dream Ahead.
She is a daughter of the dual listed-placed Intrigued (GB)
(Darshaan {GB}), who was responsible for the Listed Cocked Hat
S. winner and G1 St Leger third Michelangelo (GB) by Australia=s
sire Galileo (Ire) and Private Secretary (GB) (Kingman {GB}) who
emulated his half-sibling by also winning the Cocked Hat last
year. The third dam is the G2 Nassau S. and G2 Sun Chariot S.
winner Last Second (Ire) (Alzao), whose son Aussie Rules
captured the G1 Poule d=Essai des Poulains and GI Shadwell Turf
Mile and who is the second dam of last year=s G1 Grand Prix de

This was almost a close replica of the finish of the Listed
Midsummer Sprint S. at The Curragh July 10, as the prolific Make
a Challenge saw off arch-rival Urban Beat for a fifth listed
success and a perfect warm-up for the upcoming G1 Flying Five.
TDN EUROPE • PAGE 13 OF 15 • THETDN.COM SUNDAY • 30 AUGUST 2020
Runner-up to A=Ali (Ire) (Society Rock {Ire}) in the G2 Sapphire S.
July 19 and successful in the Listed Curragh Sprint S. over six
furlongs Aug. 22, the bay was slowly away this time but
sauntered into contention inside the final two furlongs. Headed
for a stride by Urban Beat, he quickly regained the advantage
and was comfortably on top at the line. Jockey Joe Doyle said,
AHe was as good as ever there. He got a bit upset in the stalls, he
got the blindfold off, and it resulted in him jumping a bit slow
but it made no odds in the end and I didn=t have to be too hard
on him. That was to get a blow into him for the Flying Five, so
it=s all systems go and we=re looking forward to it.@
Make a Challenge was confirming his status as one of his
country=s leading sprinters on the afternoon that his 4-year-old
half-brother Highland Dress (GB) (Shamardal) was gaining black-
type when third in the Listed Hopeful S. at Newmarket. They are
out of the unraced Crinoline (Street Cry {Ire}), a half-sister to the
G1 Phoenix S. and G1 Moyglare Stud S. heroine Saoirse Abu (Mr.
Greeley) from the family of the multiple grade I-winning
champion It=s In the Air (Mr. Prospector). She is the ancestress
of the G1 Irish Derby and G1 Epsom Oaks heroine Balanchine
(Storm Bird), the G1 Prix de Diane winner West Wind (GB)
(Machiavellian) and the dual G1 Dubai World Cup hero Thunder
Snow (Ire) (Helmet {Aus}). Crinoline=s 3-year-old filly Pivotal

Ahandfulofsummers (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) in a mile maiden at Cork
on Aug. 8, headed the field initially before being granted a lead.
Back in front approaching the two pole, the 2-1 favourite was
made to battle by Sense of Style (Ire) (Zoffany {Ire}) but toughed
it out to score by 1 1/2 lengths. Ballydoyle=s newcomer
Madonna (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}), the full-sister to the G1 Moyglare
Stud S. winner Maybe (Ire) and the G1 Prix Marcel Boussac
runner-up Promise To Be True (Ire), put in a highly encouraging
debut effort in what could prove a strong maiden, staying on
well to be a further 2 1/2 lengths behind in third. Winning jockey
Gavin Ryan said, AShe=s a lovely filly. She had a nice run in Cork
the last day when she got going a bit late. We like her a lot at
home and knew she=d go on the ground here today. I made
plenty of use of her, as she=s a good galloping filly and she=ll
make a lovely 3-year-old next year over a mile-and-a-half.@ The
winner is Coolmore royalty, being a full-sister to the high-class

Behemoth | TDNAusNZ
David Jolly | TDNAusNZ
BEHEMOTH TOWERSOVERE MEMSIE RIVALS
by Paul Vettise
As his name suggests, Behemoth is a brute of a horse and he
showed he had the talent to match his ample frame when the
Western Australian-visitor proved a class above his rivals in the
Caulfield feature.
A number of his opposition had high spring hopes, but they
were deflated by the David Jolly-trained powerhouse who was
given a gun ride by Craig Williams and Behemoth simply
outmuscled them to leave no excuses.
For Jolly, it ended an 18-year wait for his second Group 1
victory after producing Zip Zip Aray (Bellotto {USA}) to win the
2002 Goodwood H., but for rider Craig Williams they have come
as regular as clockwork as he=s now up to 60 top-flight
successes.
None would have come with a more hulking partner as
Behemoth though, who reversed the David and Goliath story by
overshadowing a game runner-up Mr Quickie.
AYou could see from his form and his record that the whole
idea was the build-up to the spring. He only had two runs in the
spring, and I was delighted with his first-up performance,@
Williams said.
Behemoth had won the G3 McKay S. in May and was then
spelled after finishing fourth in the G1 Goodwood H.
He returned to win a trial and then accounted for the
highly-regarded Dalasan (Dalakhani {Ire}) on his return in the
G3 Spring S. at Morphettville.
ATodd Pannell gave me a very good report about how he felt
from a jockey=s perspective and David, who has as great handle
on this horse, said he=s a different horse than when you first
rode him at Moonee Valley and in Adelaide,@ Williams said.
Due to his towering stature, Behemoth isn=t the easiest of
customers to load at the barrier.
AThe history of the horse is that getting him into the gates is
the problem. Thank you very much to the barrier attendants for
the work that they do,@ Williams said.
AI was able to utilise the good barrier and he was quite
dominant, he=s done a really good job today. It=s a tough
industry and every success is a great one and I=m not here
without the guidance and upbringing of my two parents, my two
brothers, and the team I have around me is amazing.
AMost importantly, is the other team at home, my family. It=s
great that we can continue to keep racing through this pandemic
and keep showcasing these amazing equine athletes.@
Behemoth jumped well to settle in behind the pace set up by
Begood Toya Mother (Myboycharlie {Ire}) and Streets Of Avalon
(Magnus) and when the latter felt the pinch into the straight the
gap opened for Williams.
His charge responded in electric fashion and took control of
the race 200 metres from home to seal the deal.

Craig Williams aboard Behemoth | TDNAusNZ
Behemoth was first sold as a weanling for $120,000 at the
Inglis Great Southern Sale before Grand Syndicates picked him
up for the now bargain price of $6000 at the Magic Millions
National Yearling Sale with high x-ray issues the reason for the
price differential.
"On the odd occasion we have used x-rays, I've had two
different vets give me two different opinions as to where they
sat on the spectrum of high risk or low risk," Grand Syndicates
Racing Manager Sam Lyons subsequently told TDN AusNZ.
"I'm careful about letting x-rays talk you out of a horse you
like, simply because you are resting on someone's opinion."
Behemoth is out of the Listed Schweppervescene Sprint H.
winner Penny Banger (Zedrich), who is a half-sister to the stakes
winner Mister Minx (Surtee) and further back in the family is the
three-time Group 3 winner Latin Saint (Le Cordonnier {GB}).
Mr Quickie (Shamus Award) turned in another fine first-up
effort--he was third when fresh in last season=s G1 Makybe Diva
S.--to fuel encouragement for his spring prospects.
AHe jumped out so well the week prior and his work on
Tuesday was super. We were thinking about going to the 1400
metre handicap, but I=m so pleased we didn=t and it=s a great
result,@ trainer Phillip Stokes said.
AHopefully, he can hold his form and go on to bigger and
better things. He=s a stronger horse and I can=t wait to get him to
Flemington over a mile or further and maybe the Makybe Diva
again or a race like that.@
The 3-year-old Glenfiddich (Fastnet Rock) did well to run third
after looking awkward around the bend and Cascadian (GB)
(New Approach {Ire}) got home well from the back for fourth.
Disappointments of the race were the Group 1 winners Mystic
Journey (Needs Further), Streets Of Avalon (Magnus), Regal
Power (Pierro) and Gatting (Hard Spun {USA}) who were the last
quartet home.

suffered a setback when the mare had to be withdrawn on race
morning from the Memsie.
Breeder and owner Bob Peters confirmed his Grant and Alana
Williams-trained 5-year-old was counted out by a foot abscess.
AIt=s disappointing and we just have to get her over it. We=ll
keep going and see what happens,@ Peters said.
Hopes had been high for Arcadia Queen at Caulfield following
an eye-catching effort to finish fifth in the G2 PB Lawrence S.
when resuming a fortnight ago.
Pedigree Notes: Purchased by Grand Syndicates for $6000 at the Magic
Millions National Yearling Sale. Behemoth is one of two winners
from five to race out of Schweppervescence Sprint H. winner
Penny Banger (Zedrich). Out of Miss Firecracker (Twig Ruler),
Penny Banger is a half-sister to stakes winner Master Mix
(Surtee) and a sister to Zedfire, who is responsible for the
stakes-placed Zetorio (Oratorio).

Tiz the Law | Sarah AndrewIN TDN EUROPE TODAYCENTURY DREAM CELEBRATES MILE WIN Century Dream took advantage of the late defection of
favored Benbatl to take Saturday’s G2 Celebration Mile at
Goodwood. Click or tap here to go straight to TDN Europe.
TIZ THE LAW TOPSDERBY/OAKS CONTENDERSPUTTING IN FINAL WORKS
Likely GI Kentucky Derby favorite Tiz the Law (Constitution)
topped a list of sophomores putting in their final breezes ahead
of the Run for the Roses/Lilies Saturday, covering five panels in
:59.21 (1/3) on the Saratoga main track.
The native New Yorker was one of the first on the track at
5:45 a.m. in an attempt to beat the incoming rainstorm. With
regular breeze rider Heather Smullen in the irons, the flashy bay
covered his first three furlongs in :36.01 and galloped out in
1:12.01.
"Everything went fine. He came back well," trainer Barclay
Tagg said. "He did everything he was supposed to do. I'm
satisfied with this work. We had to make the decision this
morning to work him. We made the decision around 4:00.
Luckily, it wasn't raining when he was working. It's supposed to
rain all day, and the track may be worse tomorrow. I'm glad we
got the work in."
Tiz the Law is scheduled to ship to Churchill Downs Monday
and regular rider Manny Franco will join him in Louisville.

NOTHHAFT LIVING THE LIFE HE IMAGINEDby Jessica Martini
Hank Nothhaft was a veteran CEO in Silicon Valley when he
decided he needed to make a plan for the next phase of his life.
A self-described Aserial entrepreneur,@ he picked horse racing
and now, over a decade later, he is retired from the business
world and spending most of his time working on his racing and
breeding operation. Through the Ballysax Bloodstock
consignment, Nothhaft will offer a colt by Tapit out of the
owner=s most successful racehorse to date, multiple graded
stakes winner Living the Life (Ire) (Footstepsinthesand {GB})
(hip 213), during the first session of the Fasig-Tipton Selected
Yearlings Showcase in Lexington.
AI found myself 40 to 50 years older than the people I was
managing and I realized at some point I wasn't going to be able
to work at the level required for these positions,@ Nothhaft said.
AI thought I better find something to do before I retire.@

Gamine | Sarah Andrew
California Contingent Put in Final Preparations
Hall of Famer Bob Baffert sent out Derby contender Thousand
Words (Pioneerof the Nile) and Oaks runner Gamine (Into
Mischief) for their final breezes at Del Mar Saturday.
>TDN Rising Star= Gamine covered six furlongs in 1:11.60 (1/5)
with Juan Ochoa in the irons. The $1.8-million EASMAY topper
was clocked in splits of :24.40, :36.60 and :59.40, working in
company with SW Quality Response (Quality Road), who was
given a half-mile in :48 flat. A dazzling winner of both the
GI Acorn S. and GI Test S., Gamine is expected to be one of thetop choices in the Oaks. "She worked beautifully," Baffert said. "She's coming into therace very well and I'm very happy with her right now. It's goingto be a tough race, very competitive, but we're excited and shelooks ready for it." MGSW Thousand Words, victor of the Shared Belief S. last out,went five furlongs in :59.80 (2/53), going in splits of :11.80 and:36 flat and galloping out six panels in 1:11.40. He worked incompany with maiden Tapitution (Constitution), who coveredthe distance in 1:01. Champion Storm the Court (Court Vision) also breezed at DelMar Saturday, going six furlongs in 1:12.80 (2/5) under exerciserider Austin Solis. "A good work, all we were looking for," trainer Peter Eurtonsaid. "If he comes out of it well, we're headed East." Grade I winner Honor A. P.

being pointed to the GI Kentucky Derby after developing a
cough Saturday.
AUnfortunately, Shirl=s Speight has come up with a minor
cough today and he will not be going to the Kentucky Derby,@
owner/breeder Fipke Stable tweeted. AHis health is our number
one concern, and we=ll look forward to his next race.@
AHe=s coughing and full of mucus so we=ve had to put him on
antibiotics,@ trainer Roger Attfield said. AI=ve had four or five of
them [get sick] these last couple weeks actually. It=s nothing
majorly serious but it=s bad timing. We were looking forward to
seeing if we could do ething fancy but there will be another day.
Just normal stuff we have to go through quite often.@
An impressive debut winner at Woodbine July 4, Shirl=s Speight
followed suit with a victory in that venue=s GIII Marine S. July 25.
Nothhaft cont. from p1
Nothhaft continued, AI did some research and I decided to pick
horse racing and breeding. I had no background in the industry,
no friends in the industry. But I was a very casual fan, we used
to go to Bay Meadows in San Mateo for family outings once or
twice a year. We enjoyed that immensely.@

winner=s circle at Lingfield | photo courtesy Hank Nothhaft
Nothhaft cont.
Nothhaft teamed up with bloodstock agent Carl McEntee and
the two decided there would be value in purchasing race fillies
in England and relocating them
to the U.S., particularly to take
advantage of the Ship-and-Win
Bonus which rewarded out-of-
state horses who competed at
Del Mar. Nothhaft acquired
Halljoy (Ire) (Halling), already
group-placed in England, who
went right on to score at Del
Mar, as well as Living the Life
who was a maiden winner
when she was purchased
privately as a
3-year-old in 2013.
AWhen we started buying
these horses in England, one
part of this plan was Del Mar=s
Ship-In bonus,@ Nothhaft said.
ASo we would try to buy them at the right time and get them to
the United States so that Gary Mandella could get them
prepared and run them first time down at Del Mar. Living the
Life came available way early,and once we had acquired her Carl
said, >You know I have a brother who is a trainer in the UK. What
do you think about keeping her there for a while before we send
her to the States?@
To Nothhaft, whose business
had taken him to England
numerous times and who was a
lover of Dick Francis novels, as
well as a confessed Anglophile,
the suggestion was a light bulb
moment.
AI said, >Oh, we can do that?@
he recalled. AI was like a little
kid in a candy store. So I got
licensed and I joined the
Racehorse Owners Association.
I got my account at
Weatherbys, I got a
bookkeeper over there and so
on. And I hired Carl's brother
Phil to train her.@
Living the Life was soon exceeding initial expectations for her
new connections.
Cont. p7
TDN HEADLINE NEWS • PAGE 7 OF 18 • THETDN.COM SUNDAY • AUGUST 30, 2020
Nothhaft cont. ALiving the Life was a horse that we bought relativelyinexpensively and once we bought her, she was race fit and shequarantined with my brother,@ McEntee recalled. APhil got ahold of her and her career moved forward in leaps and bounds.She won two races for him relatively quickly and then he cameup with the idea to send her to the inaugural running of the All-Weather Championship at Lingfield. With her two wins, she waseligible to run in the filly sprint division and Phil said we had areal chance of hitting the board in the race. The purse moneywas $250,000, so we said we would give it a shot. Adam Kirby,who was the leading all-weather rider that year, agreed to rideher and,not only did she grab a piece of it, but she won by 7 1/2.That was the biggest race that my brother Phil has ever won inhis training career. That was lovely to share in.@ That day at Lingfield was a dream come true for Nothhaft as well. AJust as he came around the corner, Kirby took off and got thejump on them, kind of like a Formula One race on a restart, andsuddenly they had a seven-length lead,@ Nothhaft said. AShe hadgotten run down before, but she not only didn't get run downthat day, they didn't gain any ground on her at all. So we won a$250,000 race with a filly we paid less than $50,000 for. Shewon $200,000 before we switched her to the States. We were inseventh heaven. There was a tremendous crowd, I was anAmerican--a Yank--and they knew it. It was like being feted for
the rest of the day and just soaking in all this energy and all theexcitement. So that's the highlight of everything that'shappened to me since I've been involved in racing. I called mywife and told her I didn't need an airplane to get home fromEngland, I would just take wing and fly.@ Things only got better when Living the Life was transferred tothe Southern California barn of trainer Gary Mandella. Sheopened her Stateside campaign with an allowance victory overthe all-weather surface at Del Mar and was soon tackling gradedstakes company across the country at Pennsylvania=s PresqueIsle Downs for the 2014 GII Presque Isle Downs Masters S. It washomecoming for Nothhaft, who is now based in Texas. AI was born and raised within spitting distance from the trackup there, so now she not only fulfilled this latent desire to bethe British race horse owner from the novels, now I can go backto my roots,@ Nothhaft said. AI am a son of German immigrantsand ended up lucky enough to go to the Naval Academy and Iwas able to get ahead in life. But I have deep, blue-collar rootsin Western PA. So this was really a kick for me, just going back.@ Nothhaft continued, AWe got Mike Smith to ride her and justto make it a good story, we won the race. I get excited aboutwinning any race, but that really was a thrill. So the value ofLiving the Life went from $43,000 that we paid for her, and nowshe's won half a million by then and was worth high six or sevenfigures.@ Cont. p8

Nothhaft cont. Living the Life would go on to finish second in the 2015
GII Great Lady M S. before successfully defending her title at
Presque Isle that fall. In 2016, she was third in the GII Santa
Maria S. and the GI Santa Margarita S. before defeating the boys
in the GIII All American S. at Golden Gate Fields. She ended her
career with a narrow defeat in her third Presque Isle Masters.
AIf they had Tapeta or synthetic in this country, she would have
been a very difficult filly to come up against for anyone,@
McEntee said. AShe didn=t love the dirt, but this is a filly who is
graded stakes placed on dirt, turf and synthetic and obviously
was pretty unbelievable on the synthetic in this country. She
came back for a three-peat in the Masters and, if you go back
and watch the race, she got stuck in traffic and couldn=t get out
and she got beat about a half-inch to win it again. She was a filly
who, once you got her out, her turn of foot was spectacular.@
Retired to Nothhaft=s broodmare band, Living the Life=s first
foal is a now 2-year-old colt by Pioneerof the Nile. Retained by
his breeder, the bay is currently in training with Ben Colebrook
at Keeneland. The colt=s name is a throwback to his dam=s
success at Presque Isle, as well as Nothhaft=s Naval background.
AI named her first foal Commodore Perry because in the War
of 1812, when we defeated the British, the commodore up
there on Lake Erie was Commodore Perry. If you go to the Naval
Academy and see Memorial Hall, where they honor all the
graduates who have given their lives fighting for the country,
they have this 200-year old battle flag that says, >Don't give up
the ship.= That's Commodore Perry's flag from the War of 1812.@
Nothhaft is getting positive reports on Commodore Perry, who
is expected to make his debut during Keeneland=s fall meet.

Nothhaft cont.
AHe is a big, rangy Pioneerof the Nile colt,@ Nothhaft said of the
juvenile. AWe don't want to rush him. We think he's a two-turn
horse, so we don't want to jump into some of these really short
early 2-year-old races. There are 6 1/2 and seven-furlong dirt
races in the book for 2-year-old maidens at Keeneland, so that's
what we are looking at. I am quite excited about him.@
Living the Life=s second foal, the yearling colt by Tapit, is also
drawing positive reviews ahead of his engagement at Fasig-
Tipton.
AExpectations are pretty high,@ McEntee said of the yearling=s
impending sale. AHe=s a very well-balanced colt with good size
and very correct. He has all the qualities of the good Tapits and
obviously he is out of an exceptional race mare in Living the
Life.@
Living the Life, currently in foal to Triple Crown winner Justify,
is one of 14 broodmares in Nothhaft=s band. The group also
includes multiple graded stakes-
placed Kindle (Indian Charlie),
who was purchased by Nothhaft
for $50,000 at the 2009
Keeneland September Yearling
Sale. The 12-year-old mare has
already produced an American
Pharoah colt who sold for
$400,000 as a Keeneland
November weanling before
reselling for $2.2 million at
Keeneland September in 2018.
The band also includes Be
Envied (Lemon Drop Kid), the
dam of Finest City (City Zip),
whom Nothhaft purchased with
the future GI Breeders= Cup F/M Sprint winner in utero for
$37,000 at the 2011 Keeneland November sale, as well as
Randie=s Legend (Benchmark), dam of multiple graded stakes
winner Daddy is a Legend (Scat Daddy).
AProbably my comfort level is around 10 to 12 really good
commercial mares. That would be a good place for me to be in
the long run,@ Nothhaft said. AI've been trying to upgrade the
broodmare band as we go along. I got involved in racing just in
time to get hit by the decline in the stock market and the great
recession and it was clear that the only thing that sustained
itself at all was the upper end of the market. And I think that's
even clearer today than it was in 2008. To the degree that there
is any stability in the market, it is at the high end.@
Nothhaft=s plan is to sell most of his foals, while retaining a few
to race.
AI have a predetermined plan to sell a certain number of foals
every year and then keep a few to race, with the idea of
financial outcome being positive,@ he said. AWith Randie's
Legend, Living the Life or Kindle or some others, I would keep a
female member of the family. Oddly, as we sit here today, I
don't have one from any one of those horses. Kindle has
produced four colts and she is in foal with another [American
Pharoah] colt. So that's the problem there. Randie's Legend has
been a timing issue there. Living the Life is in foal with a filly by
Justify and I am keeping her. I already have a name picked out.@
While most of Nothhaft=s broodmare band consists of
homebreds or fillies he purchased to race, he and McEntee did
add to the group with some acquisitions from last year=s
Keeneland November sale. The new additions included Laseen
(Ire) (Dylan Thomas {Ire}) (hip 6), in foal to Uncle Mo, for
$200,000; Prado=s Sweet Ride (Fort Prado) (hip 54), in foal to
Speightstown for $285,000; and Miss Mahalia (Uncle Mo) (hip
319), in foal to Gun Runner, for $170,000.
AWe bought three very special
broodmares and they were in
foal to Uncle Mo, Speightstown
and Gun Runner,@ McEntee said.
AWe will be selling two of the
mares and foals in November
and they are in foal to American
Pharoah and Justify and the
foals look very, very good. The
one mare who was in foal to
Uncle Mo, she is in foal to Justify
and we will be keeping her.@
McEntee continued, AAs the
quality of his broodmares
improved, we started keeping
some fillies from the families
because they warranted being supported at the racetrack by
ourselves with the hope to bringing them into the broodmare
band. [Nothhaft] has two half-sisters to Finest City, both of
which are in the broodmare band. [Stakes winner] Grand Prix
(Tale of the Cat) has got her first foal on the ground, which is a
Mendelssohn, who is very, very nice and then Move (Silver
Train) has a really good Cairo Prince on the ground. It=s always
fun to have mares in that mid-range, but the reality is the safest
part of the market is the upper end of the market. We have
been very conscientious of moving on the lower-end mares and
taking the money we get from those and reinvesting it in the
top. It=s that sort of continuous growth that, as the mares get
better, they sell for more and then you have more to invest in
the higher end.@
Nothhaft has been working with McEntee since almost the
very beginning of his time in racing. Cont. p10

Channel Maker | Sarah Andrew
AI met Hank the first time in 2010 when I was the general
manager at Ghost Ridge Farms in Pennsylvania,@ McEntee said.
AHank is from Sharon, so Pennsylvania is important to him. We
had just purchased Smarty Jones at the farm and he ended up
buying a share. We bought one mare to send to him and he sent
in a mare called Randie=s Legend that he owned on the racetrack.@
McEntee continued, AHank and I have been friends and
colleagues for almost 12 years. He knows my family very well.
When his racehorses are broken, they end up going to my
brother Mark at Miacomet Farm and he still talks to my brother
Phil and he has horses in training with Ben Colebrook. Ben and I
have been friends for 20 years and it was at Ben=s house that I
met my wife. So this is a huge circle of people who have been
involved in my life. Hank is a client, but to be quite frank, he is a
mentor and a friend.@
The feeling is obviously mutual.
AHe is the age of my sons, so we're not contemporaries, but
we are very good friends,@ Nothhaft said of McEntee. AAnd I
think he considers me something of a mentor, not in a horse
racing sense, but in how to conduct business.@
Of the mare who helped bring them together, McEntee said,
AIt=s funny she is called Living the Life. It was a real sort of
wonderful moment for myself and Hank. We put the filly in
training with my brother Phil and it really is a family story.@
Nothhaft is clearly still relishing the achievements of his
graded stakes-winning mare, even as he prepares to send her
yearling through the ring at Fasig-Tipton.
AShe ran 35 times and won 10 times and she won $1,028,394,@
Nothhaft said. AAnd she gave me more enjoyment and more
thrills than you can ever imagine. I still have her and she has
produced Commodore Perry, who I think looks phenomenal, and
she has this tremendous Tapit on the ground. And then we have
a Justify filly [she is carrying]. The story goes on. I couldn't make
it up--and a lot of it was even planned. In horse racing when you
make a plan and it actually works out--which is usually not the
case--it's so exciting. But everything fell into place.@
The Fasig-Tipton Selected Yearlings Showcase will be held at
the company=s Newtown Paddocks Sept. 9 and 10 with each
session beginning at 10 a.m.
CHANNEL MAKER GOES COAST-TO-COAST
IN SWORD DANCER
Channel Maker (English Channel) is now a Grade I winner at
ages four, five and six after wiring the GI Sword Dancer S. over a
soggy Saratoga turf course Saturday. The victory also earned
him a spot in the starting gate for the GI Breeders= Cup Turf at
Keeneland in November.
Gliding up to dictate terms, the 8-1 shot was under a tight hold
by Manny Franco through measured splits of :25.10, :51.14,
1:17.27 and 1:42 with Marzo (Medaglia d=Oro) on his tail. That
rival called it quits on the backstretch and his stablemate
Aquaphobia (Giant=s Causeway) took his place with Corelli
(Point of Entry) alongside him. Turning for home in front,
Channel Maker still had plenty left in the tank and readily
responded when asked for more by Franco, cruising clear to a
decisive victory. Cross Border was second for an English Channel
exacta.
"He was strong throughout the stretch,@ said winning trainer
Bill Mott. AHe ran a powerful race. He loves the going. He likes it
here. He's tough when he turns for home on the lead. We
thought Marzo could be on the lead and we might be laying
second, but opportunity presented itself for him to be on the
lead and the jockey accepted the opportunity and it worked out
very well. Sometimes, you make the right decision and it worked
out well today.@
"He's not an easy horse to ride,@ said Franco. AWe try to go to
the lead but sometimes he doesn't break good. But today, we
were able to make it and he was traveling the whole way fine
and handled the soft ground really well.@
"Early on, I thought Manny had him in a great position,@ said
co-owner Dean Reeves. AHe broke well and said that afterwards
he had a lot of horse. So, he just took his time and got him in
position and he got going early into the turn and just left
everybody. It was a spectacular ride and the horse did the job."

superfecta in the GI Manhattan S. July 4 and crossed the line
fourth last time in the Aug. 1 Bowling Green, but was promoted
to third after Sadler=s Joy (Kitten=s Joy) was disqualified for
interfering with Channel Maker in the stretch.
Pedigree Notes:
Channel Maker is one of nine Grade I winners, 28 graded
stakes victors and 52 black-type scorers for Calumet stalwart
English Channel. The winner=s full-brother is Sovereign Award
winner Johnny Bear, who captured consecutive renewals of
Woodbine=s GI Northern Dancer Turf S. Their stakes-winning
half-sister Court Return (Court Vision) is the final foal out of
their stakes-winning dam In Return and both of them set new
course records with their black-type scores. Channel Maker hails
from the family of Grade I winner Auntie Mame (Theatrical
{Ire}).

A rainbow shines on Win Win Win=s Forego victory | Sarah Andrew
WIN WIN WIN FROM THE CLOUDS IN FOREGO
Win Win Win (Hat Trick {Jpn}) did just that in Saturday=s
GI Forego S., coming from out of the clouds as yet another
round of rain poured down over the Saratoga main track to
secure his first top-level success. A step slow from the stalls, the
Live Oak homebred was not even in the picture early, trailing
the field by several lengths as Complexity (Maclean=s Music) and
True Timber (Mineshaft) duked it out through an opening
quarter in :22.28 and a half in :44.63. Rushing up into the frame
approaching the bend, the dark bay was 10-wide on the turn for
home and unleashed a furious late rally in the lane, storming
past Complexity in the final strides for a jaw-dropping upset
score.
"I honestly don't know what to say,@ said winning conditioner
Michael Trombetta. AHe dropped so far back and his chicklet and
number actually went off the screen and I couldn't even see
across the track. Honestly, I assumed something bad might have
happened where he took a bad step or something. I thought he
was absolutely out of the race and might not have had a chance
to even finish. But then turning for home, he came back on the
screen. It's just unbelievable. He's truly a good horse and
deserves this. I thought we were back at the [Kentucky] Derby,
that's how hard it rained. I think he can handle just about any
surface."
He continued, "It's a distance he likes, but he doesn't have the
best gate speed. The way this track has been playing, it's very
hard to close. Well, what he did, I haven't seen the whole meet."
Jockey Javier Castellano was also in awe, saying, "What an
amazing horse. I'm truly honored to ride the horse and very
blessed with the way everything went. He was very far back and
made a huge run to win the race. Not too many horses can do
that. He did it and in a nice way.@
The Hall of Fame pilot added, "I got a little concerned when I
got to the eighth pole. I didn't have any contact with the field. I
was way too far back. I had to start riding because I felt like I
wasn't going to get there, but the horse put in a lot of effort
from the quarter-pole to the wire. He made me look good."
Winner of the Pasco S. last term prior to a third in the GII
Tampa Bay Derby, Win Win Win was second to now MGISW
Vekoma (Candy Ride {Arg}) in Keeneland=s GII Toyota Blue Grass
S. in April. Promoted to ninth in the GI Kentucky Derby, he was
seventh in the GI Preakness S. and closed out his sophomore
season with a victory in turf in Belmont=s Manila S. last July.
Returning 11 months later in the grassy First Defence S. at
Belmont June 7, the Florida-bred was 10th that day and
improved dramatically when second behind the Complexity in a
one-mile optional claimer on the main track downstate July 2.
Pedigree Notes:
Win Win Win is the seventh Grade I winner for Hat Trick and
the second to achieve the feat in North American, following
2012 GI Jamaica H. victor King David. He is also the 17th graded
scorer for that stallion and one of his 34 stakes winners. Win
Win Win is the third and final foal out of Miss Smarty Pants, who
is a half-sister to GSW Unbridled Humor (Distorted Humor).

The chief speed on paper for Friday night=s GII Charles Town
Classic, Sleepy Eyes Todd indeed controlled the pace beneath
Carlos Delgado and turned the $600,000 test into a one-horse
show.
Able to establish the lead with a minimum of fuss, the 4-year-
old got the opening quarter-mile in :24.64 and the half in a
hassle free :49.14. Asked for a bit more speed passing the three-
eighths peg, Sleepy Eyes Todd was clear rounding the final bend,
felt a right-handed stick on the swing for home and shot away to
win convincingly. Plus Que Parfait, the 2019 G2 UAE Derby
winner, raced wide throughout and plugged on gamely for
second ahead of defending race champion Runnin=toluvya.
Sleepy Eyes Todd was making an appearance at an eighth
different racetrack, including victories at Remington Park,
Canterbury and Fonner Park, where he won that track=s
marquee event, the Bosselman Gus Fonner S., by 6 1/2 lengths
Apr. 29. Runner-up to Owendale (Into Mischief) in last year=s
GIII Oklahoma Derby, Sleepy Eyes Todd was last seen just failing
in the Lone Star Mile S. June 28.
Pledge Mom is the dam of the 2-year-old colt I Hear Music
(Maclean=s Music) and a filly foal by Congrats. She was most
recently covered by Enticed (Medaglia d=Oro--It=s Tricky).

Yaupon took his record to a perfect three-for-three and
became the second graded winner of the day for Uncle Mo with
a victory in the GII Amsterdam S. Hustled up to the front by Joel
Rosario, the dark bay clicked off an opening quarter in :21.93
with Long Weekend giving chase in second. Registering a half-
mile in :44.68 with a host of pursuers ranging up menacingly,
Yaupon kept on finding over the sloppy going, pulling clear in
the lane for a decisive score.
"He's extremely fast. He's got an elite amount of speed,@
trainer Steve Asmussen said. "It's very important that a horse
with his physical, and as fast as he is, is a graded stakes winner
here at Saratoga. I think we can sit down and map out a serious
future for him from here.@
As for a potential match-up with stablemate and GI Alfred G.
Vanderbilt S. winner Volatile (Violence) in the Breeders= Cup, the
Hall of Famer said, "It's maybe why there are different people
[jockeys] on them to begin with. He's just that level. We're very
fortunate that they're both doing so well."
Graduating by a nose in his Churchill downs unveiling June 20,
Yaupon wired a track-and-trip optional claimer July 18 and
breezed a bullet three panels in :37 flat over the Oklahoma Aug.
24. Carrying the same orange and white Heiligbrodt colors as
Asmussen=s champion sprinter Mitole (Eskendereya), the
sophomore was a $355,000 KEESEP yearling, who RNA=d for
$485,000 at FTFMAR before selling to these connections for
$255,000 at last year=s OBS June Sale.
Asmussen explained why the colt did not debut until this year,
saying, "He's a 2-year-old that worked :20.3 at Gulfstream for
the 2-year-old-in training sale. He had very minor issues, but it
was just the physics of it when you're capable of going that fast.
We wanted to give him all the maturity we could. We were
trying to follow a similar plan with him as we were with Mitole
for the Heiligbrodts. They had expected to run him over the
winter at the Fair Grounds, but he had another minor issue, so
we erred on the side of caution as far as waiting and letting him
get to 100%."
Pedigree Notes:
Yaupon is the second 3-year-old son of Uncle Mo to win a
graded stake at Saratoga Saturday, following Bye Bye Melvin=s
win on soft turf in the GIII Saranac S. earlier on the card. He is
the 64th black-type victor and 36th graded victor overall for the
Coolmore stallion. The winner=s dam is GISP Modification, a
saughter of SW Swift Alliance (Afleet) and a half to GSW Sky
Alliance. Also the dam of MGSP Sawyer Hill, the mare=s recent
produce includes a yearling filly by American Pharoah and a
Good Magic colt born May of this year. The 15-year-old was
bred back to Uncle Mo this spring.

C Z Rocket continued his hot streak and stamped his ticket to
the GI Breeders= Cup Dirt Mile with a victory in the Pat O=Brien S.
Hammered down to even-money for this return to stakes
company, the bay stalked from a two-wide third as Law Abidin
Citizen set a :23.10 opening quarter. Ranging up in tandem with
Flagstaff to tackle the pacesetter entering the far turn, C Z
Rocket wore down his rivals in the final sixteenth, edging past
Flagstaff to score.
"He broke well and usually he doesn't,@ said trainer Peter
Miller. AThe pace was slow and Flavien [Prat] had him in the
perfect spot. Tom Kagele [owner] actually called me [about
claiming the horse] and I said, >His form is bad right now, but
he's a runner.' You could see he had run some really fast races. I
like old class horses that have shown talent. If you can get them
going in the right direction they can run back to past form. Tom
claimed him and the rest is history."
Claimed by these connections for $40,000 from Frank Fletcher
and Al Stall out of a fifth-place finish at Oaklawn Apr. 30, C Z
Rocket has been perfect for the Peter Miller barn, starting with
a decisive score in for a $50,000 tag at Churchill May 25. A
dominant victor at Churchill again in a June 21 optional claimer,
he followed suit with another optional claimer victory at
Keeneland July 12.
Pedigree Notes:
C Z Rocket is the 32nd graded winner and one of 87 black-type
scorers for the late City Zip. His GSP Successful Sarah is also
responsible for winning juvenile Successful One (Tale of the Cat),
who is her most recent foal. The winner hails from the family of

Bye Bye Melvin took to blinkers and the rain-soaked turf wellat Saturday, upsetting the GIII Saranac S. at 19-1. Stalking from ajoint second through a glacial opening quarter in :27.17, the baysat back a bit in third, letting Embolden (The Factor) move up tocontest the pace with leader Don Juan Kitten through a half in:51.54. Under a ride approaching the far turn, Bye Bye Melvinwas churning up sod as he brushed with his neighborBodecream (Bodemeister) at the top of the lane, but found hisfooting in the final sixteenth, surging late to nail Don Juan Kittenon the line. AHe's a late developer,@ trainer Graham Motion said. AHe'sbeen a little bit of a project in that way, but I'm not surprisedwith the way he ran. He slugs it out and he obviously handledthe soft turf better than most." "The first part, I came out running just to get a position goinginto the first turn,@ Hall of Fame pilot John Velazquez said. AHedid not want to go anywhere. I grabbed him until he got morecomfortable. He was lugging in down the stretch and I had to getafter him, and he was slipping and sliding but he was goodenough to get there. He was trying as hard as he could, but atthe same time he was slipping. But he got there anyways." Graduating by 8 1/4 lengths at fourth asking at Tampa Dec. 7,Bye Bye Melvin followed suit with an optional claimer scorethere Jan. 8. A well-beaten 10th on the main track for the GII Tampa Bay Derby Mar. 7, he was seventh in the GIII Kent S.at Delaware July 4 and checked in second last time in the JerseyDerby at Monmouth July 26.
Pedigree Notes: Bye Bye Melvin is the 63rd black-type winner and 35th gradedwinner for his sire Uncle Mo. The winner is a half to talentedturf distaffer Mean Mary, a two-time graded winner whofinished second in last week=s GI Diana S. at the Spa.

Chart, backed down a bit off a 10-1 morning line quote for this
first turf try, came out on the winning end of a blanket finish to
become her sire (by First Samurai)=s first graded winner. A
romping debut winner sprinting at Tampa in January, the bay
was thrust into the deep end after that and finished ninth in the
GII Davona Dale. She subsequently joined the Mark Casse barn
after original conditioner Gary Contessa retired, and was second
behind the streaking Boerne (Fed Biz) back in allowance
company at Gulfstream in April. Chart checked in sixth at almost
59-1 in a stakes-level Churchill allowance May 16, but bounced
back to annex an allowance on the local Tapeta July 9.
Away well but reined in to sit second off of stablemate Two
Sixty, Chart was in the bridle as she tugged her way along behind
splits of :23.55 and :46.93. She ranged up to confront the
pacesetter at the head of the lane as Avie=s Samurai attempted
to sneak up the fence and Diamond Sparkles--the third of four
Casse runners--revved up out wide from the back of the pack.
Chart forged to the front in the late stages, and continued to
fend off challenges from all angles to get the job done.
AShe is so naturally talented that she won really easily at
Tampa in her first start, and in hindsight jumping her up into a
Grade II against horses like Tonalist=s Shape (Tonalist) in the
Davona Dale was too much too soon,@ Jon Green of owner DJ
Stable told the TDN. AWhen we transferred her over to Mark
Casse, Mark insisted on really trying her from the beginning, and
focusing on getting her to relax and sit off of speed. That=s what
she did in her next start... We brought her to Churchill Downs,
and she caught a very difficult field and didn=t run very well at
all. After that, we wanted to give her a little more time between
races, and sent her up to Canada. Mark has done an outstanding
job of getting her to relax and use her tactical speed and still
make a run down the stretch, and that=s what she=s done in her
last two starts.@
Turf had always been in the back of her connections= minds,
and Green noted that Chart has very wide, flat feet that are
typically suited to turf travel.
AIt=s always been our goal with this filly to try her on the turf,@
he said. AShe=s by a grandson of Giant=s Causeway out of a War
Front mare--the pedigree just screams grass. So, we kind of did
it in baby steps, trying her on the Tapeta first and she seemed to
like it. Mark was able to get her to breeze once on the grass up
there and she threw in a bullet breeze just in hand, nice and
easy (5f, :59.40, 1/5 with the dogs up Aug. 21). That really gave
us the confidence to try her in this type of race.@
Future plans are still up in the air for Chart, but Green is
looking forward to a productive 2021. Lea himself blossomed at
age five.
AThis was really the focus for right now, to see if she would
really stretch her legs out and take to the turf,@ Green said. AThis
is a good stepping stone because it=s a one-turn mile. We=ll
probably try to get her into one more turf stake before the end
of the year and then give her a little time to develop. She=s still a
long-legged, long-bodied horse who needs to fill out... It=s great
to have a filly like this who runs middle distances, has tactical
speed, can run on all three surfaces--she=s very versatile and her
4-year-old year is going to be really exciting.@

Pedigree Notes:
Chart is the third black-type winner for Lea. She=s by a son of
First Samurai out of a daughter of War Front--the runner-up is a
daughter of First Samurai and the third finisher is a daughter of
War Front. Campaigned by breeders Claiborne Farm and Adele
Dilschneider, Lea was productive on both turf and dirt himself.
He took the GI Donn H. in 2014 and was third in the following
year=s G1 Dubai World Cup before seconds in the GI Stephen
Foster H., GI Woodbine Mile over the same course and distance
and GI Breeders= Cup Dirt Mile. The winner=s dam sold for
$27,000 at last year=s Keeneland November sale in foal to Flatter
before being sent to Turkey. She is a full to Irish highweight
sprinter Sprit of Valor (War Front) and half to MGSW/GISP
Brilliant (War Chant) and SW/GSP >TDN Rising Star= Street Life
(Street Sense).

Given a supremely confident ride by Nik Juarez, Valiance easily
validated odds-on favoritism in Saturday=s Eatontown S.,
downgraded from Grade III status when the remnants of
Hurricane Laura washed the race off the turf.
New Jersey Horse of the Year Valedictorian won the sprint into
the first turn, setting the pace from Gotham Gala while racing
well away from the inside running rail. Valiance hugged the
fence from third under a long Juarez hold. Valedictorian
continued to make play down the backstretch and into the turn,
but Valiance peeled away from the fence and into the three
path looking like a winner. Gotham Gala overtook the front-
runner with about 2 1/2 furlongs to race, but Valiance had the
move covered, easing alongside that one and only truly being
asked to run for the final 100 yards under hands-and-heels
riding.
Unbeaten in three starts last season, including this track=s
Open Mind S. last summer, Valiance was an even fourth in an
off-turf renewal of the May 16 Powder Break S. at Gulfstream
Park. Sixth behind Mean Mary (Scat Daddy) in the GII New York
S. at Belmont June 27, the gray filly most recently overcame an
eventful trip to take a July 28 optional claimer over the Colonial
turf course.
Pedigree Notes:
Valiance=s dam, winner of the GI Madison S. at Keeneland
during her racing days, was purchased by China Horse Club in
foal to War Front for $1.5 million at Keeneland November in
2015. The daughter of MGISW Lazy Slusan (Slewvescent) is also
the dam of the 2-year-old colt Harbor Bay (Exaggerator), a
$250,000 KEESEP yearling who breezed a best-of-seven four
furlongs in :47 1/5 at Los Alamitos Aug. 26. Last Full Measure is
also responsible for a yearling filly from the first crop of Mastery
and was bred to Constitution in the most recent breeding
season. Valiance is bred 3x3 to Unbridled, same as champion
Unique Bella.

She=s a half to GSP Big Family (Any Given Saturday) and out of a
half to MSW/GISP Storm Treasure (Storm Boot). Varda will be
joined by fellow OBSAPR acquisition Heels Up (Twirling Candy).
Just a $17,000 KEENOV buyback, she brought $65,000 last
September and then $350,000 in Ocala off a strong :10 flat spin.
She sizzled through a :58.80 ( 1/38) local gate work Aug. 24
(XBTV Video). Phil D=Amato pupil Fracing Fast (Constitution),
meanwhile, was a $360,000 September acquisition. She=s out of
SP Hot Roots (Indian Charlie), who is a half to the Baffert-trained
MSW/MGISP Mother Mother (Pioneerof the Nile) and GI
Kentucky Derby longshot second Commanding Curve (Master
Command). Well-bred Moonlight d=Oro (Medaglia d=Oro)
boasts an experience edge on her competition, having rallied for

Grade II-placed juvenile and out of a full-sister to Grade II

Trainer Ralph Nicks and owner Stonehedge LLC got the trifecta
in the Affirmed S., with Breeze On By beating stablemates Big
Daddy Dave and Seazan for the win. Notably, Stonehedge also
bred the first two finishers and bred and owns the fourth-place
horse, Top Boss (Khozan), giving the Florida farm the exacta as
breeders and the superfecta as owners.
Breeze On By has been perfect in three starts, all at
Gulfstream, breaking his maiden at six furlongs July 12 by six
lengths and taking the six-panel FTBOA Florida Sire Dr. Fager S.
Aug. 1 by a length while getting an 82 Beyer Speed Figure. In the
Affirmed, the bay broke on top before letting Gatsby (Brethren)
go by while sitting off his hip. Breeze On By was just taking
command as a half passed in :44.22. He stayed on his wrong
lead, but the race was over as he crossed the line 7 1/2 lengths
the best.
The winner=s dam has a filly born this year by Handsome Mike
and has been bred back to Khozan. Her dam produced five

Settled midpack after exchanging bumps with a rival at the

wide, but in touch down the backstretch. He came under a ride
at the quarter pole and was deep off the turn, but, despite
racing on his incorrect lead in the final furlong, he collared a
stubborn Pitching Ari and edged clear in the final 30 yards.
Fourth in both the GIII Holy Bull S. and GII Tampa Bay Derby

Proud Emma, stretching out off an allowance second going 6

start, but quickly recovered and managed to cross and clear her
four rivals at the midpoint of the first turn as Message was hung

allowance company when last seen May 25--led through the
middle stages, but Message began to hit her best stride with
three furlongs to go and linked up with the pacesetter at the top

sophomore season with a well-beaten fourth in the GIII

column in this scratched-down off the turfer, he stalked and

FOUNDER (c, 2, Upstart--Blue Beryl, by Bernstein), sent off right
at his morning line of 6-1, looked to have it all to do at the
midpoint of his career debut Saturday at Saratoga, but he caught
the eye with a rail run into the stretch, came out at the eighth
pole, raced as green as the boggy grass and improbably ran
down his better-backed stablemate Highly Motivated (Into
Mischief) to open his account at first asking. The highly regarded
two favorites, Newbomb (Speightstown) and Happymac
(Runhappy), had hustled to the lead early from the extreme
inside and outside posts and opened up on the field. While
Founder was trailing the field in ninth, Highly Motivated tracked
in third, overtaking the pair about a sixteenth from home as
Founder was swerving down the stretch. Highly Motivated
switched to his wrong lead but looked clear until Founder rallied
furiously late for the neck triumph. These same connections
unleashed another son of Upstart--Reinvestment Risk--to a jaw-
dropping >TDN Rising Star= performance earlier this meet.
A $220,000 Keeneland September yearling purchase, the bay
colt was knocked down to Mike Ryan, agent for the same

Structor (Palace Malice), for $600,000 at OBS March after

is now the fourth winner for his first-crop sire (by Flatter). The

and was backed at 5-2 as the most experienced runner in the

(Noble Mission {GB}) showed the way, she advanced along the
fence heading for home behind a :45.21 half. The dark bay
squeezed inside of the pacesetter in midstretch, and splashed
away from there to post a four-length victory. The winner has a

TRANSPORTER (f, 3, Twirling Candy--The Winged Venus, by
Rock Hard Ten) was the beneficiary of a no-brainer DQ, as were
those who backed her at a gaudy 27-1. Off at significantly higher
than the morning line maker=s 6-1 prediction with a steady but
unassuming worktab showing, the bay had just one beaten as
they straightened for home. Meanwhile Le Tub (Bodemeister)
body-checked her way out of a tight spot in the lane, and got
her head down on the line as Transporter=s furious late run
seemed to come up just short. Le Tub was subsequently placed
eighth by the stewards, with odds-on Fierce for Sul
(Speightstown) inheriting second. The winner has an unraced 2-

WASPIRANT (c, 2, Union Rags--Life Is Sweet {MGISW,
$1,820,810}, by Storm Cat) debuted at six furlongs Aug. 8 and
finished fourth at the distance, which on paper should have
been too short for him given the routing accomplishments of
both his sire and dam. The mile Saturday should have suited him
better and it did. Racing midpack in the tightly packed field of six
behind pedestrian fractions at 3-1, Waspirant=s flashy blaze was
spotted moving up around the half to put pressure on the
leaders. Three wide on the outside, Waspirant wore down
Ambivalent (Constitution) to score by three-quarters of a length.

Life Is Sweet, Waspirant has a yearling half-brother by Pioneerof

VITTORIO (c, 2, Ghostzapper--Roberta Turner, by Smart Strike)
was away slowly from a wide stall in his Aug. 1 debut, then
traveled very awkwardly, covered ground on the turn and could
do no better than fifth to the impressive odds-on favorite
Freedom Fighter (Violence) (Second Chances). But the betting
public did not lose faith in the colt and made him the 11-10
favorite to make the requisite improvement at second asking.
Much more smoothly away from gate six with Mike Smith back
at the controls, the scopey bay colt moved better and sat just off
of longshot pacesetter Belmont Bill (Oxbow) through an opening
quarter in :22.46. Ridden quietly on the turn just awaiting his
cue, Vittorio was allowed to stride into the lead three-sixteenths
from home and was never in serious danger from there. He had

of them bunched up, he slipped through an opening along the
