EVER THE COACH, LUKASSTILL WINNING AT THE SPA

By Mike Kane

SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. - No, trainer D. Wayne Lukas did not

cash a ticket on Perplexed (Maimonides)=s $232.50 stunner

Monday at Saratoga Race Course.

AWe didn=t bet,@ Lukas said, laughing, Wednesday morning in

his office between sets at the Oklahoma training track.

While he did not think the 3-year-old Zayat Stables homebred

deserved to 115-1, Lukas was not expecting the colt to win the

maiden claimer on the sloppy, sealed track in his 10th career

start. Perplexed prevailed under apprentice Luis Reyes giving

Lukas, 81, his second victory of the 2017 Saratoga season. He

picked up his first on Saturday with the 2-year-old >TDN Rising

Star= Sporting Chance (Tiznow) breaking his maiden as the

second choice in the wagering. Sporting Chance, owned by

William Mack and Robert Baker, is headed to the GI Hopeful S.

on Sept. 4, the final day of the meet.

Lukas believes that Perplexed=s price was the highest of his

Hall of Fame career. Equibase stats, available from Jan. 1, 1995,

show that it is Lukas=s top payoff and the highest at Saratoga

since that date. However, it ranks just 98th nationally during

those 22 1/2 seasons.

Even though Perplexed had been beaten a total of 20 1/4

lengths in his last two starts at Churchill Downs, Lukas said he

was surprised by the odds that he saw on the tote board prior to

the first race of the day. Cont. p3

SARATOGA MAIDEN WIN COMES >FULL

CIRCLE= FOR MOTION by Steve Sherack

SARATOGA SPRINGS, NY - Any trainer would be undoubtedly

excited looking to the future after Untamed Domain (Animal

Kingdom)=s >TDN Rising Star= performance on the opening

weekend of the prestigious Saratoga meeting (video).

But when the conditioner in question is Graham Motion, who

also saddled the juvenile colt=s freshman sire to memorable wins

in the 2011 GI Kentucky Derby and 2013 G1 Dubai World Cup,

you know this one had to feel a little extra special.

AI tell >ya, it really was,@ Motion said. AI didn=t anticipate it

being... it was almost somewhat emotional. It was just very cool

to have it sort of come around full circle. To head up to Saratoga

with one of his first 2-year-olds was pretty special, and to have

him run like that, it meant a lot to me.@

Lukas Still Winning at the Spa cont.

AWe remarked about it,@ he said. AIn the post parade, I said,

>look at this he=s jumping up to 80-1 already.= I turned to friends

of the Zayats, who were standing there next to us, and said,

>He=s not that bad. He=s training excellent. He=s liable to pull this

off.= We weren=t going to bet him or anything, but we felt like

we were going to be maybe second or third or fourth.@

To gain every advantage with Perplexed, Lukas gave the mount

to Reyes, a seven-pound apprentice. Reyes, who began riding in

the U.S. in January, delivered and earned his 17th career victory.

Lukas left teaching and coaching basketball behind to

concentrate on training. He won his first race at Saratoga Race

Course with Tartan Farms=s Dr. Patches on Aug. 26, 1978. He has

been a regular at the Spa since 1984 and has won the training

title six times. Barn 83, the farthest from the paddock and the

finish line on the main track, has been his base at Saratoga for

about 30 years. During the height of his distinguished career,

Lukas had divisions based at tracks across the country. As he

approaches his 82nd birthday on Sept. 2, Lukas is still very

enthusiastic and active with a 30-horse stable that he runs at

Oaklawn Park in Hot Springs, Arkansas, the Kentucky tracks and

Saratoga.

AI like it up here. It=s such a financial bloodbath and we accept

that,@ he said, chuckling again as he dusted off an old line. AFirst

of all, we rent a house for our help. If they rented in the

community their paycheck would be gone. We subsidize them.

We=ve got a nice house, but they rob us, too.

AWe=re so far in the hole when we run the first horse that if we

won the Travers, the Hopeful and the Alabama, we=d probably

break even.@

Lukas glanced at his wife, Laurie, who was putting on her

helmet to go out with the next set.

AWe absolutely love it,@ he said. AWe come up here and do the

charity things.@ Cont. p4

Sporting Chance | Sarah K Andrew photo

Lukas Still Winning at the Spa cont.

Lukas has won the Hopeful a record seven times, the last two

with colts owned by his longtime clients, Mack and Baker:

Strong Mandate (Tiznow, 2013) and Dublin (Afleet Alex, 2009).

Sporting Chance was purchased on behalf of that duo for

$575,000 at the 2015 Keeneland September sale.

AHe was my No. 1 pick when we looked at 3,000 head at the

Keeneland sale,@ Lukas said. AI=m not saying that just because he

won, but he was No.1. I was afraid my guys might even pull up a

little bit when we got north of $500,000, but they were game.

He=s absolutely a knockout-looking horse, too. I liked his

pedigree, being a Candy Ride (Arg) mare and everything.

AHe should have won his first out, but you never know when

you=re being blessed. It might have been good that he didn=t get

his first win. He got second. Got a little tired. That was for

$46,700 [at Churchill Downs]. Comes up here and and runs for

$83,000. He was set up with a race under his belt. When he ran

in the maiden race here, the rest were all first-time starters.@

In September 2015, about three weeks after his 80th birthday,

Lukas encountered some life-threatening heart issues caused by

blockages. He was treated and very quickly returned to work.

Lukas was up on his horse as usual Wednesday and said he is in

good health. Through the years he said he had talked with Hall

of Fame trainers Woody Stephens, Charlie Whittingham, Laz

Barrera and Ron McAnally about aging and working.

AWhen you get older the perception in racing is that maybe

you don=t have it any more,@ he said. AThe truth of it is, there is

no how-to book. If you=re mentally sharp and your health is

good, you should be a hell of a lot better than the guy who is 35

because you=ve seen it all. It=s a trial-and-error business. It really

is.@ Cont. p5

HIGHEST-PRICED D. WAYNE LUKAS WINNERS

While Perplexed might be the highest-priced D. Wayne Lukas winner

in history, a quick look at Equibase records shows that Lukas is no

stranger to big payoffs, including in some of the year’s biggest races.

7/24/17 Saratoga Perplexed $232.50

11/01/14 Santa Anita Take Charge Brandi $125.40

Lukas continued, AThere is no place to look up >what do you do

with this or that, a horse is running out or screwing up in the

gate.= You have to have those experiences. The thing that has

made my assistants so effective is my coaching background. I

can=t help myself, I keep teaching. Whereas Charlie

Whittinghham told me, >Hell, I haven=t got time to explain all

that. Tell them to watch and they=ll get it down.=

ABut if you=ve ever taught or coached you can=t help yourself. If

I see Bill Mott=s horses doing something wrong, I=m over there

Full Circle cont. from p1

A rallying fourth with his share of trouble first time out

sprinting on the Laurel turf July 2 (video), the West Point

Thoroughbreds colorbearer was favored at 6-5 to get off the

mark while stretching to two turns in a grassy maiden special

weight at the Spa Saturday.

Content to trail the field of seven while saving ground through

easy fractions of :24.75 and :50.40, Untamed Domain was

traveling nicely and beginning to make headway until jockey

Jose Ortiz was forced to tap on the brakes in traffic entering the

far turn. Seemingly unfazed, Untamed Domain impressively

began to dial it back up, was swung widest of all into the stretch

and rocketed home to register a 1 1/2-length decision. The

$90,000 KEESEP yearling purchase covered his final quarter in

:22.86, according to Trakus data. The next fastest clocking was

:23.26.

AI really don=t think he could=ve been any more impressive,@

Motion said. AI knew that stretching him out was going to be the

key, but we thought he may have enough zip first time sprinting.

He really didn=t have a very good trip that time either, so he=s

kind of had two troubled trips now. He certainly ran well enough

to overcome it the other day and I thought he won very

comfortably.@

Races like the GIII With Anticipation S. at the Spa Aug. 30 with

a future eye on the GI Breeders= Cup Juvenile Turf this fall at Del

Mar are all in the conversation now for Untamed Domain. Bred

in Kentucky by Clearsky Farms, he is out of the stakes winner

and graded stakes-placed Ciao (Lear Fan) and his third dam is

French Group 1 winner Smuggly (Caro {Ire}).

AI think it definitely makes sense to run back in the With

Anticipation,@ Motion said. AThe timing is very good and that

would be a good stepping stone. I certainly feel very good about

the direction that he=s going.@

Motion continued, AOne of the coolest things about him is that

he=s kind of got Animal Kingdom=s disposition. He takes things

very well and very much in his stride. He doesn=t get too wound

up about anything, which I think is going to be very important

for him down the road. Obviously it=s early days, but he certainly

showed that tremendous turn of foot that Animal Kingdom

would show, too.@

Animal Kingdom=s Untamed Domain | Sarah K. Andrew

Full Circle cont.

Motion said that he trains Aa couple of more@ offspring by

Animal Kingdom, and may have another promising runner by the

young sire on his hands with the filly Cyrielle, who is set to

debut in the fifth race at Saratoga Thursday, a 5 1/2-furlong

maiden special weight on grass. The $300,000 KEESEP yearling

purchase, owned by Team Valor International and Gary Barber,

is out of the Forestry mare Somethinaboutbetty, a four-time

stakes winner and runner-up in Saratoga=s 2006 GIII Lake George

S. Her worktab includes three bullet breezes at Motion=s Fair Hill

base in Maryland.

ALook, it=s a Saratoga maiden so you never know what you=re

getting into, but she certainly had shown enough here [at Fair

Hill],@ Motion said. AAgain, with this filly, I thought she showed a

little more zip in the morning that perhaps we could run her

short one time. Certainly, she=s ready to run.@

Untamed Domain became the second American winner for

Animal Kingdom, who is also represented by the two-for-two

Debutante S. heroine Sunny Skies. The son of Leroidesanimaux

(Brz) also has six Australian winners, including >TDN Rising Star=

Earth Angel (Aus).

Animal Kingdom stood the 2017 season for $30,000 at Darley=s

Jonabell Farm in Kentucky. A $550,000 colt purchased by

Solis/Litt at OBS March out of Miss Lomardi (Unbridled Jet) was

his most expensive of 19 2-year-olds sold in 2017. From his 50

first-crop yearlings that switched hands in 2016--good for an

average of $99,388--a $400,000 filly out of Eltimaas

(Ghostzapper) acquired by Juddmonte at KEESEP led the way.

AMy personal observations are that the colts tend to be sort of

a little more robust and more like him,@ Motion concluded.

AWhereas the fillies are a little more refined, and a little more, I would say, >flashy= and more >sales types= than the colts. Look, he didn=t break his maiden until the fall of his 2-year-old year, so he wasn=t really an early 2-year-old type himself and I think a

lot of the colts are built that way, too.@ Return to p1

Honorable Miss H. cont.

Shoulder to shoulder into the final eighth of a mile,

Finley=sluckycharm clung on gamely, but Paulassilverlining was

equally determined and found the wire first. By the Moon,

backed late from 5-1 into 7-2, had every chance to run down the

top two, but was forced to settle for a close third.

"Six [furlongs] is just a little short for her,@ said trainer Chad

Brown, winning the Honorable Miss for the first time. AShe

showed that with barely getting up there at the wire, but good

horses overcome things like this, taking them out of their

element just a touch. She's done that today. She was giving the

other filly some weight and she was a real quality horse. For this

caliber of race, [it was] not that fast and 'Paula' was able to wear

her down. It was a great stretch duel. I'm glad we were able to

come out on top.@

Beaten a neck as the favorite in the 2016 Honorable Miss,

Paulassilverlining sandwiched victories in the GII Gallant Bloom

H. Oct. 1 and the Dec. 10 Garland of Roses S. around a third-

place effort behind Finest City (City Zip) in last year=s

GI Breeders= Cup Filly & Mare Sprint. Purchased privately as a

future suitor for Juddmonte=s >TDN Rising Star= Arrogate at the

end of his racing days, Paulassilverlining proved games in

landing Keeneland=s GI Madison S. Apr. 8 and was having her

first start since turning the tables on Finest City in the

GI Humana Distaff S. on the Derby undercard May 6.

Brown indicated that the winner would line up next in the

GI Ballerina S. Aug. 26, a race in which she was fifth last

summer.

Pedigree Notes:

With her Madison success, Paulassilverlining became the most

recent of 10 Grade I winners for Adena Springs=s Ghostzapper,

who is also the sire of the winner=s yearling full-sister. Seeking

the Silver, herself a full-sister to SW Choctaw Ridge, foaled a colt

by Ghostzapper=s sire Awesome Again this season. In addition to

Paulassilverlining, Seeking the Silver is the dam of two-time

Curlin Road was given a patient ride by Flavien Prat,

outfinished defending champion Hard Aces and withstood a

highly questionable claim of foul to take Wednesday=s featured

GIII Cougar II H. at Del Mar. Allowed to box-seat the 12-furlong

dirt marathon from a ground-saving position, the bay gelding

was quietly ridden behind a moderate pace through the middle

stages of the race. Hard Aces, last but two down the

backstretch, began to creep into contention while three and

four wide on the track and got first run, looping rivals with what

appeared to be a winning move on the swing for home. Knowing

he had horse underneath him, Prat was happy to allow Hard

Spun to go on with it and pulled out Curlin Road to launch his

bid leaving the quarter pole. Hard Spun and jockey Santiago

Gonzalez came out and bumped with Curlin Road soon after and

initiated contact on a few other occasions, but Curlin Road

managed to drop his nose down on the wire first. The claim of

foul was quickly dismissed by stewards.

"My horse was game,@ Prat said. AHe wanted to win that race.

I thought that was mostly him pushing on me. It worked out for

the best." Cont. p9

WHERE'S THE SWAMP?by Tim Wickes

It's been a double fortnight (I always talk like this for a while

after Wimbledon) since the trial and guilty/not guilty verdicts of

Murray Rojas and I've spent a lot of time ruminating on the

vagaries of how we are represented by our legal system, our

horsemen, and our industry leaders. Sad to say, after a week of

testimony and a mixed return from the jury, we seem to be left

with more questions than answers.

First, some back story. About five years ago near as I can tell,

FBI Special Agent Bruce Doupe, acting on a tip, started down an

investigatory road on the backside at Penn National in the

bucolic Blue Mountains of central PA. Starting in 2012, the first

round of sleuthery resulted in the indictments of David Wells

and two other trainers as well as clocker Danny Robertson. A

year later, Wells and Robertson pled to lesser charges because

they Acooperated@ with the ongoing investigation. Wells and

Robertson led the way to Stephanie Beattie partly because

Wells and Beattie were no longer playing house--and nothing

like a trainer scorned. David sang like a canary. And then Beattie

leads the well named G-man Doupe and his prosecutor in crime

William Behe to Murray Rojas and--eureka! The Feds had their

Whale, their Dapper Don, and their Voldemort all rolled into

one. Murray Rojas. And hi-ho, hi-ho, it's off to trial we go. The

FBI, a federal prosecutor, five years of time, investigations,

taxpayer money, you name it forY Murray Rojas.

They had Stephanie Beattie dead to rights. She, by her own

later testimony, broke just about every rule in the book and

more than a few than the rule book writers haven't thought up

yet. They had their big fish, but Doupe and Behe decided to let

Beattie roll over so they could get Rojas and the vets. Oh wait,

they didn't really get the vets either. Kevin Brophy, Fernando

Motta, and two other miscreants were allowed to roll over to

get toY Rojas.

These vets were the guys that taught the trainers how to

cheat. They had a form to fill out for race-day meds in a state

that only allows Lasix on race day. These were the guys that

back dated the billing and paperwork that they turned into the

state. These were the guys who knew the ins and outs of the

stale lab and, in some cases, what drugs were being tested and

for when. These were the guys who figured out that if they cut

the Robinul dose and gave it i/v instead of i/m it wouldn't test

and they'd beat the lab. But not worth throwing them in the

hoosgow? Nope, let's not get the vets when we can getY Rojas.

Let's let the dealer roll over so that we can get the addict.

So far, there are a lot of guys and dolls in this tale, but not

much that would be Runyonesque unless ol= Damon hooked up

with Elmore Leonard and wrote the pilot for Real Housewives of

Grantville. It's a sad, sad story, but Rojas? Curly and Larry, I

mean Doupe and Behe, had David Wells for 10 years' worth of

criminality; but he got three months because he gave them

Beattie. And they had Beattie like they had gray suits and gruff

demeanors. They had her all fitted up for a corner cell at

Allenwood, but they let her roll over like Beethoven so they

could get the dealers/vets, and I'm ok with that. Get the vets.

Get them for bribing the guys in the lab. Get them for their

mountain of fraudulent paperwork. Get them for creating a

system whose primary goal was to beat the system. Just get

them. But for the love of Steve Carlton, don't let the big fish roll

over so you can catch a minnow. As my kids would say, AGrow a

pair.@ You had some out and out criminals on the hook and you

let them walk like Egyptians so you could convict Murray Rojas

of misbranding, I.e. using medications for purposes or in a

fashion other than said medication's prescribed use. After five

years, no wire fraud, no race fixing, just misbranding. What a

waste of our money.

The flip side of all this is we do have a problem here. Being a

racehorse trainer is a tough gig these days. Most of your

employees are undocumented, you barely break even on the

day money--that's if you get paid on time--and the pressure to

win is overwhelming. Trainers take an edge, often too much of

one. In the Paulick Report Friday Show, Editor-in-Chief Scott

Jagow glibly referred to Athe cesspool of PA racing.@ If Jagow or

anyone else thinks this is just a PA problem, then I've got some

nifty dockage in the Mojave to sell them. The trouble with the

view from the eighth pole is the angle stinks. The Rojas trial

testimony was just a window in to a national issue because in

every track in the land the motto exists: AIf you ain't cheatin',

you ain't tryin'.@

So let's point some fingers. First there was an underfunded

and seemingly clueless state racing commission that, despite

boots on the ground on the backside, was played like Perlman's

fiddle by the vets and the horsemen. Second, there's a racetrack

that, in spite of being granted a casino monopoly by the state,

cares tons more about its slots than its ponies and therefore

throws boatloads of money at policing the casino while looking

away from the racing. Third, there's the TRPB. They exist, right?

According to the TRPB mission statement, it is supposed to

Aconcentrate its attention on those areas which most

significantly affect the integrity of racing.@ Sounds like they need

to concentrate a little harder. Fourth, there's the vets, and I

know I'm gonna hear about this one. There's a dozen or so vets

at Penn National who it seems couldn't find integrity if you

slapped them in the vet box with it.

For the most part, these men and women are in control of the

medications on the backside and it may be a good time for them

to use that power for good instead of for evil. They can choose

the high ground or the swamp of their own making. Finally, the

horsemen. It's time for all of us to stop giving lip service to

cleaner sport and level playing fields and actually do something

about it. We don't need some pious billionaire preaching at us;

we just need to finally do the right thing before it's too late.

PETA rummaged around in our dirty closet once already, and

they will again. If they're willing to attack a guy for saving his

dog from a canicidal kangaroo, they sure as hell will roll up their

sleeves against some racehorse trainers. And, when they do, the

New York Times and others will be right there with them.

I hate the job the Feds did with this case at Penn Nat. They

went after the wrong people, letting the crooks walk whilst

going after someone who was doing little more than trying to

keep up with the Joneses. It was a waste of time, money, and

judgement, and the ultimate failure of the case sends out all the

wrong messages going forward. Separate from that, the system

of checks and balances that we currently lean on has neither.

The National HPBA claims that the Feds had no business sticking

their noses in racing's business, but that's just crap. The Feds got

involved because the inmates were running the asylum. The fact

that they proved to be so completely incompetent should in no

way lead us to believe they won't try again with a better result.

Let's stop patting ourselves on the backs for running off a Rick

Dutrow here and stringing up a Murray Rojas there and get to

some greater truths. We are the problem, all of us. We don't

need to fix Athem,@ we need to fix us. And we need to do it soon.

Tic-toc. Tic-toc.

Ron McAnally | Benoit photo

Good Night Shirt | Sarah Andrew

McANALLY BACK TO WORK AFTER FALL Hall of Fame trainer Ron McAnally returned to his stable office

Wednesday morning, three days after taking a tumble that

required an overnight hospital stay. McAnally was in attendance

at a party at the Solana Beach home of Pamplemousse Grill

owner Jeffrey Strauss after the races Sunday night when a knee,

surgically repaired a few years ago, gave out on him.

AI turned the wrong way on it, went down and hit my head on

the concrete,@ McAnally, 85, said. AWhen I was laying there on

the ground, they asked me how I felt and I said, >About like Bob

Baffert felt when (Arrogate) ran the other day. Even Baffert got

a laugh out of that.@

McAnally was taken away on a stretcher and spent about a day

and a half in a hospital undergoing tests and observations.

Results were negative, clearing McAnally to return to the track

where he=s been a regular since 1948. McAnally ranked third on

Del Mar=s all-time trainer wins list to start the season, with his

444 wins behind only Mike Mitchell (476) and Baffert (466) and

number two on the stakes-winning trainer roll with 77 to

Baffert=s 121.

FISHER AIMS TWO AT A. P. SMITHWICKby Don Clippinger

Even by trainer Jack Fisher's lofty standards, 2017 has been an

amazing year.

The Maryland horseman, the latest in a long succession of

Fishers who figured prominently in the steeplechase world, has

been fracturing records with regularity. He is the only trainer in

the National Steeplechase Association's history to exceed

$1-million in annual earnings, and he has done so three times.

For the longest time, it appeared that the overall NSA trainer

earnings record--now just over $23 million and held by Racing

Hall of Fame member Jonathan Sheppard--would stand forever.

That virtual certainty is being questioned as Fisher, 54, keeps

throwing up million-dollar seasons, with a third straight in

prospect. His earnings now exceed $14 million.

His first million-dollar season was in 2008, when stable star

Good Night Shirt (Concern) went undefeated. Sonny Via, Jr.=s

Good Night Shirt will take his place in the National Museum of

Racing=s Hall of Fame Aug. 4.

NSA race meets paid record spring purses this year, and Fisher

seized a record chunk of them. His current total is $638,800,

which is more than three times the purses earned by Sheppard,

his closest competitor.

Fisher will be looking to add to his earnings total on Thursday

in Saratoga Race Course=s G1 A. P. Smithwick Memorial H., one

of two $150,000 steeplechase stakes on the Saratoga menu.

Four weeks later, the prize will be the G1 New York Turf

Writers Cup H.

Mr. Hot Stuff | Sarah Andrew

Fayeq | Sarah Andrew

His most intriguing prospect is Edith Dixon's homebred

Schoodic (Tiznow)--if Schoodic chooses to behave. He is a

strapping 7-year-old by a scion of the Man o' War line who has

shown promise as a jumps sire. Schoodic is capable of a

top-level victory when he chooses to run, but his past

performances betray a Jekyll-and Hyde personality.

Against top-shelf competition in the Virginia Gold Cup's G2

David Semmes Memorial May 6, he drew away to a confident

two-length score. Then, against lesser opponents two weeks

later, he checked in fifth with a substitute jockey after regular

rider Paddy Young was injured in the preceding race. Sean

McDermott, the Irish veteran who rides Fisher=s best horses, has

the mount in the Smithwick.

Fisher also will saddle owner Gillian Johnston's Mr. Hot Stuff

(Tiznow), who was sufficiently hot to place in the 2009 GI Santa

Anita Derby (behind winner Pioneerof the Nile) and won the 2

1/16-mile Smithwick in 2013. Now 11, Mr. Hot Stuff missed last

season and finished third behind Fisher-trained division leader

Scorpiancer (Ire) (Scorpion {Ire}) and Portrade (Ire) (Trade Fair

{Ire) in the G3 Temple Gwathmey Handicap in April.

The Fields Stable=s Portrade heads the Smithwick lineup, and

he will be in his accustomed place on the lead. He nearly held on

to win last year's Smithwick, finishing third, and he then wired

the New York Turf Writers for his first Grade 1 score. Gus Dahl

rides Portrade.

Elizabeth Voss, who trains Portrade, also will have a notable

day Aug. 4 when her late father, trainer Tom Voss, will be

inducted into the Hall of Fame. For the Smithwick, she also will

saddle Robert Kinsley's newcomer Modem (GB) (Motivator

{GB}), who will be ridden by Jack Doyle.

Sheppard, whose 47-year record of at least one Saratoga

winner per meet ended last season, will be looking to start a

new streak with Buttonwood Farm's All the Way Jose (Senor

Swinger), who has returned to top form under apprentice jockey

Keri Brion, who also is Sheppard's assistant.

patiently for racing room before angling out six wide turning for

ENABLE GIVEN KINGGEORGE GO-AHEAD

Khalid Abdullah=s dual Classic-winning filly Enable (GB)

(Nathaniel {Ire}) has been given the go-ahead by trainer John

Gosden to face elder males in Saturday=s G1 King George VI and

Queen Elizabeth S. at Ascot.

"John is happy with her and she's going to head to Ascot,@

confirmed the owner=s racing manager Teddy Grimthorpe.

Enable is ante-post favourite for the ,1.15-million contest off

commanding scores in the G1 Investec Oaks and G1 Darley Irish

Oaks, which she won by five and 5 1/2 lengths, respectively.

Frankie Dettori, who will have to get down to close to his

minimum weight to ride Enable on Saturday, revealed on

Wednesday that the filly had thrown him off the morning

before.

"I rode Enable yesterday morning and believe it or not she

dumped me on the floor,@ he said. AI was like, 'thanks very

much!' Luckily, I fell standing up but she still dumped me. She is

just full of herself right now and raring to go."

Dettori has yet to return to race riding full time since injuring

his shoulder in early June, but he said the ride on Enable

tempted him to return earlier than planned.

"She was the reason I came back from injury so early,@ he

wrote on his Ladbrokes blog. AShe really is special. I pushed

myself so I could ride her in Ireland and it was worth it.

AIt's been a tough rehabilitation but I'm delighted to report I'mfeeling good and getting stronger every day.@ "The King George is a tough race but I'm really excited,@Dettori added. AShe's getting a big weight allowance so she'sentitled to be at the head of the market." In other King George news, Gerald Mosse has picked up theride on Sixties Song (Arg) (Sixties Icon {GB}), who will be thefirst-ever Argentinian-trained runner at Ascot. "It looks a very competitive race but he is the top horse inArgentina," Mosse said. "I'm excited to ride in the King George,it's a great race to be a part of." Mosse's agent Shippy Ellis said, "We were looking at riding atNewmaket but Gerald looked at the videos [of Sixties Song] andwas keen to ride him. He does have some form on soft groundbut he'd prefer it quicker, I think. It's a proper King George,make no mistake, and the connections deserve credit for comingand having a go. He's a big price but I think he'll outrun it."

MOYGLARE NEXT UP FOR ALPHA CENTAURI >TDN Rising Star= Alpha Centauri (Ire) (Mastercraftsman {Ire}),

who suffered her first defeat when a neck second to Different

League (Fr) (Dabirsim {Fr}) in the G3 Albany S. at Royal Ascot on

June 23, will be seen next in the G1 Moyglare Stud S. at The

Curragh on Sept. 10, according to the Niarchos family=s racing

manager Alan Cooper. The form of the Albany is thus far

working out quite well, with fifth-placed Madeline (Ire) (Kodiac

{GB}) subsequently winning at listed level and sixth-placed

Actress (Ire) (Declaration Of War) and seventh Clemmie (Ire)

(Galileo {Ire}) winning at group level.

"I spoke with [trainer] Jessica [Harrington] on Monday and she

tells me the filly is in good form and the plan is to run in the

Moyglare,@ said Cooper. AShe'll go straight there. The Albany has

produced an incredible amount of winners already and we look

forward to seeing Alpha Centauri run again."

Cooper also provided an update on the Niarchos family=s

G1 Prix de Diane winner Senga (Blame), who is enjoying a

summer break before an autumn campaign.

"All going well, Senga is going for the Prix de l'Opera on Arc

day,@ Cooper said. "[Trainer] Pascal [Bary] is still considering

whether to give her a prep race beforehand."

ANA O=BRIEN OUT OF HOSPITAL Jockey Ana O=Brien, who suffered injuries including fractured

vertebrae in her neck and back and fractured cheekbones in a

fall at Killarney on July 18, has left the hospital, according to

Racing Post. Father Aidan O=Brien told the publication, "Ana was

released from hospital [on Tuesday]. She's delighted to be home

and, all things considered, she's in good form and very grateful

and appreciative of the excellent care she received both at

Killarney and in hospital."

O=Brien, who was riding Druids Cross (Ire) (Cape Cross {Ire}) for

her brother Joseph O=Brien when her mount was fatally injured,

is expected to be out three to four months.

THE SEEDS OF FUTURITY A cursory glance at the honour roll of Leopardstown=s G3 JRA

Tyros S. suggests it is a race for racing=s clairvoyants to take

seriously, with eight of the last 11 winners proceeding to leave a

significant mark on the turf=s annals. The final six all hailed from

Rosegreen and while there are two to represent that

establishment on Thursday, the clear principal is the >TDN Rising

Star= The Pentagon (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}), who emanates from an

Aga Khan family of strong-staying middle-distance luminaries.

Derrick Smith=s colourbearer looked to possess abundant pace

and had a definite touch of Rip Van Winkle (Ire), Cape Blanco

(Ire), Gleneagles (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) and even Churchill (Ire)

(Galileo {Ire}) about him when beating some interesting

yardsticks by upwards of 8 1/2 lengths in a Curragh maiden over

this trip on July 15.

The Seeds of Futurity Cont.

Jim Bolger, who saddled Teofilo (Ire) and New Approach (Ire)

to win this in 2006 and 2007, significantly puts forward his

homebred son of the former champion in Theobald (Ire). He

beat Ballydoyle=s other challenger, Berkeley Square (Ire) (Galileo

{Ire}), by 2 1/2 lengths over a mile on debut here on June 22

before running second to another from that stable in Actress

(Declaration of War) in the G3 Anglesey S. over what was

probably an inadequate extended six furlongs at The Curragh on

July 15.

FEEL-GOOD FACTOR

While it does not enjoy the same kudos as the Tyros, the

G3 Jockey Club of Turkey Silver Flash S. at Leopardstown is still a

hotbed of distaff talent and Thursday=s edition features one for

the pedigree gurus in Happily (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}). While her

defeat of the re-opposing Shalailah (Ire) (Showcasing {GB}) and

fair stablemate Sizzling (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) in a seven-furlong

maiden at The Curragh on June 30 lacked the pizzazz of The

Pentagon=s display at the same track, the chief Ballydoyle envoy

has all the foundations for a prominent career. A sister to the

2014 Tyros winner Gleneagles (Ire) and Irish 1000 Guineas

heroine Marvellous (Ire) from the dynasty of Giant=s Causeway,

she is joined by the decisive July 13 course-and-distance maiden

scorer Easter Lily (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) as they look to bring a sixth

renewal to Aidan O=Brien since 2009.

The stable=s former rider Johnny Murtagh seeks to upset the

applecart with Qatar Racing Limited=s Golden Spell (GB) (Al

Kazeem {GB}), who on the form of her success as the highweight

in a six-furlong nursery at The Curragh on July 16 is the best filly

in the race.

AHe was really green and is a bit of a baby, so Silvestre [deSousa] rode a lovely race,@ trainer Simon Crisford commented.AWhen the other horse came to him, he wanted it. He is a lovelyhorse to look forward to for the future--I was hoping to win, buton that ground first time out I was prepared for him to bebeaten and at least run a good race. He=s always been the moststraightforward horse you could imagine at home, so easy todeal with and a nice person. He=s a little bit of a sleeper who hascrept through the ranks without anyone noticing in the stable,but we saw something a little bit different at the races tonight ashe got a bit hot. I think he=ll step forward from that quiteconsiderably, but whether it=s a conditions race next or a novice

I don=t know.

MURTAGH SEEKING PERSONAL BEST IN

JOG FOR JOCKEYS Johnny Murtagh and his family and staff at Fox Covert Stables

will once again take part in Jog For Jockeys at Naas on Aug. 27.

Online advance entries cost i20. Entry on the day will cost i25

and a team of five can enter for i100. Children can take part for

free, or pay i10 for a t-shirt. Proceeds from the five and 10

kilometre races will go to Irish Injured Jockeys.

AThe Jog for Jockeys is a very special race, allowing runners

and racing fans access to Naas Racecourse to run with lots of

jockeys and trainers,@ said Murtagh. AMy family and I take part

in it every year and we have great fun. By their nature, jockeys

and trainers are very competitive, so serious bragging rights are

at stake for this year=s races. I ran a lot as a jockey for fitness

and weight management and I=m back in full-time training to

achieve a [personal best] in the 5km race.@

Murtagh added, AThe Injured Jockeys is such an important

charity which supports our jockeys while they are out of action

so I hope to see lots of runners, joggers and walkers at Naas

Racecourse on Sunday, Aug. 27.@

in The Currragh=s Listed Dash S. at the start of the month. Also

the winner of the Listed Bosra Sham S. at two and the G3 Lacken

S. at Naas last May, the trustworthy bay is working back to the

Sept. 9 G1 Haydock Sprint Cup in which she was seventh last

and soon had all rivals on the stretch and was beyond reach as

the stamina of Music Box and Rehana came into effect.

quarter, but she loves to jump and get at it,@ jockey Gary Carroll
