>GRETZKY= SCORESANOTHER GRADE I WIN
FOR NYQUIST IN SUMMER
Gretzky the Great (Nyquist), who became freshman sire
Nyquist (Uncle Mo)=s first stakes winner in August, became his
second Grade I winner less than a month later with a victory in
Sunday=s GI Summer S. at Woodbine. The score in the AWin and
You=re In@ event punched Gretzky the Great=s ticket to the GI
Breeders= Cup Juvenile Turf and gave Japanese-born jockey
Kazushi Kimura his first career Grade I triumph.
Unveiled going five furlongs on the local turf July 12, the
Ontario-bred was runner-up to re-opposing rival Ready to
Repeat before graduating by open lengths in an off-the-turfer
there Aug. 2. Getting up late to capture the 6 1/2-furlong
Soaring Free S. three weeks later, Gretzky the Great was made a
narrow favorite here.
Coming away well, the bay deferred to draft in behind of
Ready to Repeat in the two path for the long run up the
backstretch. Traveling comfortably past fractions of :24.10 and
:47.82, he was given just a nudge by Kimura three-eighths out
and sidled up alongside the pacesetter soon after straightening
for home as the top two separated themselves from the pack.

THE WEEK IN REVIEW: AFTER GUILTY PLEAS,
WILL MORE TRAINERS BE CHARGED?by Bill Finley
The next chapter in the scandal that has rocked Thoroughbred
racing played out last week when Scott Robinson and Sarah
Izhaki both pled guilty to charges relating to the sale and
distribution of performance-enhancing drugs used to dope race
horses. It was an important development, but the bigger story is
this: will it lead to a new and extensive list of indictments
against trainers and others who so far have not been charged?
That possibility certainly exists.
For now, everything is speculation and the Department of
Justice has not said whether or not Izhaki and Robinson are
cooperating in the probe, but it's not hard to connect the dots
and come up with a scenario where the two are cooperating
with authorities and ready to name names. Cont. p11

Gretzky the Great and a jubilant Kazushi Kimura | Michael Burns
Nyquist=s Gretzky the Great Wins Summer cont. from p1
Overtaking Ready to Repeat past the three-sixteenths pole, he
quickly kicked clear while briefly lugging into his foe=s path and
cruised home much the best. An inquiry was taken into the
winner=s drifting, but the result stood.
AHe is such an amazing horse,@ said Kimura. AThrough the final
stretch, he had a tremendous explosion. He sometimes was
lugging in a little bit, but he's just still a baby. First time out it
was only five furlongs, then when he won I was like, >Oh, that
will be a stakes horse for the future.= And then winning a stakes
and now he=s got a Grade I, he's such a nice horse.@
Pedigree Notes:
Already the second Grade I winner for Darley=s first-crop
sensation Nyquist--following GI Spinaway S. victress Vequist--
Gretzky the Great is the second foal to race out of MSP Pearl
Turn. Bought by Anderson Farms for $310,000 at Keeneland
November in 2016, she has a yearling Quality Road colt and
visited Uncle Mo this spring. Broodmare sire Bernardini gained
his 10th Grade I winner with Gretzky the Great=s Summer S.
score, and the colt is bred on the same cross as Mo Town who
won the GI Hollywood Derby and is by Nyquist=s sire Uncle Mo.

Chuck Fipke=s Lady Speightspeare, named a >TDN Rising Star=
for an impressive frontrunning debut victory, backed that
distinction up with a gusty success in Sunday=s GI Natalma S. at
Woodbine, punching her ticket to the GI Breeders= Cup Juvenile
Fillies Turf in the AWin and You=re In@ event.
Unveiled as a 22-5 chance going seven furlongs over this
course Aug. 22, the chestnut dictated terms and drew away
down the lane to a 3 3/4-length graduation, with the runner-up
also finishing six clear of the remainder. Drilling a sharp five-
furlong bullet in :58 3/5 (1/7) over the Woodbine training turf
Sept. 13, she was made a fractional favorite over morning-line
choice and local Catch A Glimpse S. heroine Alda.
Breaking smartly after acting up in the gate, Lady
Speightspeare was taken into the clear by Emma-Jayne Wilson
and tracked longshot Big Big Plans from a close-up second
through splits of :23.77 and :47.92. It briefly looked as though
the frontrunner would steal away midway around the turn, but
Lady Speightspeare drew alongside her by the time heads
pointed for home. Going on with it entering the final furlong,
she was attacked late by Alda from her outside, but stayed on
strongly to hold that rival at bay.
AIn the starting gate, she acted up a little bit, but [it] was a
testament to her intent. Last time she ran, she was such a
racehorse,@ said Wilson.
Cont. p6
TDN HEADLINE NEWS • PAGE 6 OF 18 • THETDN.COM MONDAY • SEPTEMBER 21, 2020
AShe broke through the pack early and went to the lead with
such intent, I think it was the same thing today in the gate. She
knew it was coming, they yelled >last one,= she was anticipating
the doors to open so she popped up a little. The doors opened
and I just kind of put my hands down and the outside horse
out-stepped her the first little bit and she showed that
composure of a racehorse, she knew that she was going to get a
chance to run and I had a chance to let that horse cross over
and just put her right on her flank and she settled into stride,
got into rhythm and, man, when they started to come to her,
just like last time, she really leveled off and dug in.@
Pedigree Notes:
Now one of 116 stakes winners, 57 graded stakes winners and
19 Grade I winners for WinStar stalwart Speightstown, Lady
Speightspeare is the first black-type performer out of Lady
Shakespeare, victress of the 2009 Ontario Colleen S. over this
course and the GII New York S. and GIII Grey Goose Bewitch S. in
2010.
She is a half-sister to Perfect Shirl (Perfect Soul {Ire}), who
carried the Fipke colors to victory in the 2011 GI Breeders= Cup
Filly & Mare Turf, and a full-sister to MGISW Shakespeare, who
took the GI Woodbine Mile S. here as a 6-year-old in 2017.
Second dam Lady Shirl was a GISW over turf as well. Lady
Shakespeare has a yearling More Than Ready filly and foaled a
colt by the same sire Mar. 28 before visiting Bee Jersey.

STEADY TRADE AS BOOK 4 OPENS AT
KEENELANDby Jessica Martini
The Keeneland September Yearling Sale opened its first of two Book 4 sessions with a workmanlike day of trade in Lexington Sunday. C.J. Johnsen made the day=s highest bid, going to
$210,000 to acquire a filly by Ghostzapper (hip 2342) for his CJ Thoroughbreds. Three yearlings tied for the day=s second highest price of $190,000: a colt by Maclean=s Music and a pair of colts by first-crop sire Unified. A total of 31 yearlings brought six figures on the day.
In all, 237 yearlings sold Sunday for $11,516,500. The session average was $48,593 and the median was $40,000. The
auction=s buy-back rate continued to fall, with 85 horses
reported not sold Sunday for a buy-back rate of 26.4%.
During last year=s first Book 4 session, which was on the eighth day of sale, 272 head grossed $15,448,700 for an average of
$56,797 and a median of $41,000. The buy-back rate for the session was 27.85%.
The Keeneland September sale continues through Friday with sessions beginning daily at 10 a.m.
Ghostzapper Filly to CJ Thoroughbreds Corey and C. J. Johnsen=s CJ Thoroughbreds struck late to secure a filly by Ghostzapper (hip 2342) for a session-topping
$210,000 Sunday at Keeneland. Consigned by Peter
O=Callaghan=s Woods Edge Farm, the yearling is out of multiple stakes winner Saxet Heights (Outflanker). Bred by SF Bloodstock, she was purchased by O=Callaghan for $130,000 at the 2019 Keeneland November sale.

AWe=ve been on her since yesterday and she=s kind of one of
those I kept falling in love more and more with her. So I=m glad it
worked out,@ said C. J. Johnsen.
Of the filly=s appeal, Johnsen said, AYou can=t go wrong with
Ghostzapper. And then the pedigree, the first three dams are
very strong. When I first saw it, I thought, >An Outflanker mare?=
And I thought I had to do some research on Outflanker, but it
turns out that, even though the sample size for the cross is
small, it has produced two 2-year-old winners out of the three
that have been on that cross. So the pedigree was just enough
for us to go for it because physically, she is absolutely gorgeous.@
The filly will be trained by Wesley Ward.
CJ Thoroughbreds has purchased six yearlingsBall fillies--at the
September sale, led by a $335,000 daughter of War Front (hip 5)
during the auction=s first session.
AWe race them and then we sell them as broodmares when we
retire them,@ Johnsen said of the operation. AThat=s our business
plan. We buy only fillies with strong pedigrees by proven sires
and then we sell them as broodmares. I think she is the 11th filly
we=ve bought this year and we have one more to go.@
Johnsen said he has found the Keeneland marketplace this
week to be unpredictable.
AIt=s been strange. When we=ve thought we wouldn=t be able
to afford a horse, we have been able to and then when we
thought we could afford a horse, we were blown out of the
water,@ he said. ADay one, we bought three horses and didn=t
think we=d be able to afford any of them. And we came away
with all of them for much less than we thought. And then on day
two, I don=t think we bought anything because we=d think, >Oh,
this one is going to go for $250,000,= and it goes for $450,000. So
it=s been really unpredictable.@
More Music for Robison When Jackie=s Warrior (Maclean=s Music) romped home in the
Sept. 7 GI Runhappy Hopeful S. at Saratoga, he gave owners Kirk
and Judy Robison their first Grade I winner in over two decades
in the sport. The Robisons, who purchased the colt for $95,000
at last year=s Keeneland September sale, added another colt by
Maclean=s Music to their roster when trainer Steve Asmussen
signed the ticket on their behalf at $190,000 to acquire hip 2038
Sunday at Keeneland.
ASteve Asmussen is at the sale buying for me and he trains for
me in the East,@ Kirk Robison said from his home in El Paso
Sunday afternoon. AHe loves Maclean=s Music and we have the
really good 2-year-old colt. Sometimes buyers go back to what
horses worked for them before; the same stud, the same family
and they have confidence. I think they also know what a certain
stud should look like. And if they look like that horse, I think they
like them even more.@ Cont. p9
TDN HEADLINE NEWS • PAGE 9 OF 18 • THETDN.COM MONDAY • SEPTEMBER 21, 2020
Hip 2038 is out of stakes-placed Yes Liz (Yes It=s True) and wasconsigned by the Vanlangendonck=s Summerfield on behalf ofBarbara Banke=s Stonestreet Thoroughbred Holdings. AStonestreet is going to stay in for half the colt,@ Robison said.ASteve called me about an hour ago and said they=d like to stayin for half. I said go ahead and we got him. We=ve never had apartner, but who is better to partner with than Stonestreet?@ Robison purchased four yearlings during Sunday=s session ofthe September sale. In addition to hip 2038, he purchased a fillyby More Than Ready (hip 2078) for $75,000, a filly by Kantharos(hip 2249) for $75,000, and a colt by Street Boss (hip 2043) for$37,000. AWe are pretty picky on the vetting. We don=t have to have aperfect vet, but we=ve got to have something that works,@Robison said of his buying goals. AThe ones that have to have achip removed right off the bat are not the kind I want. I want ahorse that can get to the races early and show us what they cando.@ Robison, who owns a string of pizza restaurants in Texas,continued, AWe are still shopping. We want horses who aregoing to be early and who are sound.@ ASteve is a pretty good judge of that and he doesn=t get toocarried away because he knows what price point I=mcomfortable with,@ Robison continued. AIf he has to stretch alittle bit, I let him do that. I don=t try to micromanage himbecause he has such a good track record.@ Asmussen is signing tickets for Robison in the name ofDownstream Racing, a tribute to the next generation of racingfans in the family. AThose are my grandchildrenBthey are getting old enough nowI got a license for all of them in California this summer to go tothe races at Del Mar, and then of course COVID hit and it=slimited,@ Robison explained. ASo Downstream Racing is ourgrandchildren and their ownership in horses now.@ Jackie=s Warrior, pointing for the Oct. 10 GI Champagne S. atBelmont Park, worked five furlongs at Saratoga Sunday in1:02.91 (10/19). AHe looks fantastic, he=s happy and I trust [assistant trainer]Scott [Blasi] and Steve get him to race on time and I think he=llrun well,@ Robison said. Of his colt=s impressive Hopeful victory, Robison said, AI hadnever had a Grade I winner until him. I=ve only been in a handfulof Grade I races and never been lucky enough to win one, so Iknow how hard it is. I don=t care how much money you=respending or what kind of mares you=re breeding, it=s hard to geta Grade I winner. So when you get one and they win so easilyand he runs a faster seven-eighths than any other Hopeful hasbeen run, and he=s so sound, it=s amazing. He won at Churchilland he won twice at Saratoga, we think he=ll run well anywhere.Hopefully he=ll run well at Belmont.@

Week in Review cont. from p1 That's the most obvious explanation for why they were given adeal by the Department of Justice. In the original indictments,which were announced in March and included 27 individuals,including high-profile trainers Jason Servis and Jorge Navarro,Robinson was charged with three counts of drug adulterationand misbranding conspiracy. The maximum sentence for eachcount is set at five years. A superceding indictment was releasedlast week in which Robinson is now charged with just one count.Izhaki was originally charged with one count of drugadulteration and misbranding conspiracy, plus a charge of
smuggling, which carries a maximum sentence of 20 years. Inthe superceding indictment, the smuggling charge has beendropped. "It's a very logical assumption that they are cooperating andthat's why they have accepted the plea they did," said formerMeadowlands and Monmouth executive Hal Handel, who onceserved as a deputy attorney general in New Jersey. "It looks likethey have thrown themselves on the mercy of the justicedepartment. That seems to be where these two are." Cont. p12

Izhaki will be sentenced Dec. 2 and Robinson will be sentenced
Jan. 15. Should one or the other be hit with something
considerably less than five years, that will be another indication
that they are cooperating with authorities.
Another story to watch is what happens with Ashley Lebowitz,
who was among the 27 indicted in March. She is Izhaki's
daughter and that may mean that she, too, will make a deal.
According to owner and attorney Maggi Moss, who once
served as the chief prosecutor of Polk County, Iowa, the
give-and-take at the federal level often involves plaintiffs who
are happy to implicate others if that means a reduced sentence
for them.
"In federal court, the bigger names you get, the more names
you get, the more reliable the information is, you continue to
decrease your sentence," said Moss.
If there was ever going to be more dominos to fall after the
original 27 indictments, it always stood to reason that more
charges would come as a result of drug suppliers cooperating
with authorities. Much more so than anyone else, they know
who was using what.
"Scott Robinson and Sarah Izhaki represent the supply side of a
market of greed that continues to endanger racehorses through
the sale of performance-enhancing drugs," Acting U.S. Attorney
Audrey Strauss said last week in a statement. "Each of these
defendants provided the raw materials for fraud and animal
abuse through the sale of unregulated and dangerous
substances."
It appears that Robinson is the bigger fish of the two.
"From at least in or about 2011 through at least in or about
March 2020, Robinson conspired with others to manufacture,
sell, and ship millions of dollars worth of adulterated and
misbranded equine drugs..." read the statement from Strauss.
Robinson's business was apparently so lucrative that he has
been ordered to pay the government $3,832,318.90 as part of
an order of forfeiture/money judgment. A forfeiture is the
involuntary relinquishment of money as a legal obligation for
the commission of crime.
So far, less is known about Izhaki's business. According to the
Department of Justice's statement, between February 2018 and
November 2019, Izhaki sold and delivered "tens of thousands of
dollars of erythropoietin," which is a blood builder drug. She was
bringing the drug in from Mexico, thus the smuggling charge.
"These two people appear to be important defendants," Moss
said. "They were the ones where people were getting the drugs
from. They are important links and it would appear to me that
they obviously have lists of who they sent drugs to. You
wouldn't think they'd be doing what they were doing and only
selling their drugs to two or three people. There has to be a list
of who bought this."
That much seems certain as it's hard to imagine that the only
clients of Robinson and Izhaki were Servis and Navarro and a
handful of other Standardbred and Thoroughbred trainers
already indicted. If other trainers were buying from them, there
should be a paper trail that amounts to a lot of smoking guns.
That's particularly the case with Robinson, who was using a
website to sell his drugs to trainers. That would mean a record
of the transactions and credit card receipts.
Does that mean they sold their goods to hundreds of trainers,
dozens of trainers or just a handful? For now, that is anyone's
guess. But their plea deals have raised the possibility that the
Servis and Navarro indictments will turn out to be just the
beginning in what is already one of the ugliest stories in the
sport's history.
"If I were someone who was buying drugs from these guys, I'd
be very afraid right now," said Jeff Gural, the Meadowlands
owner who worked behind the scenes with The Jockey Club to
build a case against the cheaters. "There's no doubt in my mind
that these two (Robinson and Izhaki) are talking."
Starship Jubilee Does It Again
Starship Jubilee (Indy Wind) continues to be one of racing's
best stories. Claimed for just $16,000 (off of Jorge Navarro) in
2017, she picked up the biggest purse of her life when beating
the boys Saturday's GI Woodbine Mile S. It was her 12th stakes
win, her 19th overall win and pushed her career earnings over
$2 million.
Trainer Kevin Attard now faces a tough decision concerning
where she should run in the Breeders' Cup, with the choices
being the GI Breeders' Cup Mile or the GI Breeders' Cup Filly &
Mare Turf. Cont. p13

Michael Burns
The Woodbine Mile was a "Win and You're In" race for the
Mile. That means Starship Jubilee is guaranteed a spot in that
race and the $60,000 entry fee will be waived. Though it's hard
to imagine any scenario where she wouldn't get into the Filly &
Mare Turf, she is not guaranteed a spot, but the entry fee would
also be waived for that race.
"Which race we go in is up in the air," Attard said. "Obviously,
we are excited because she ran a big race Saturday. She came
out of the race in great shape. We'll see how things transpire
over the next little bit and try to decipher how the two races
shape up and decide what direction we will go in."
Starship Jubilee is the best horse based in Canada and was the
2019 Canadian Horse of the Year. This year, she won't be eligible
for that title. The Woodbine Mile was her first race this year in
Canada and for a horse to be eligible for the Canadian Horse of
the Year title, they must run at least three times north of the
border.

Pirate=s Punch, controversially disqualified out of a victory in
the GIII Philip H. Iselin S. at Monmouth last month, got his
vengeance Sunday by the shore with a tally in the GIII Salvatore
Mile S. It was the first black-type win for the former $30,000
claimer.
Breaking his maiden for that tag at sixth asking for Jeff Mullins
last July at Ellis, the gelding dominated a first-level allowance at
Indiana Grand in his debut for the Grant Forster barn and
backed that up with a strong third in the GIII Super Derby.
Crushing optional claiming foes wire to wire by 11 1/2 lengths
with a 101 Beyer three starts later Jan. 16 at Fair Grounds, he
was third in the GIII Mineshaft S. and backed up to seventh in
the GII Stephen Foster S. before his demotion in the Iselin.
Off as the lukewarm favorite here, the dark bay broke in stride
and settled in third as longshot Wind of Change (Brz) (Forestry)
tore off through a :22.69 quarter. Drawing a bit closer past a
swift :45.80 half, Pirate=s Punch blew past the retreating
pacesetter three furlongs out and stiff-armed a brief bid from
second choice Top Line Growth to go clear into the stretch.
Staying in charge through the lane, he was wrapped up on late
in a convincing score. Top Line Growth dug in to best Bal
Harbour in a photo for second.
AI=m pleased they gave me another chance to ride this horse
after the Iselin,@ said winning rider Jorge Vargas, Jr. AI didn=t feel
what happened that day was all that bad but I still felt bad
about it and apologized to the owners afterward. They told me I
did everything right and rode a good race. Obviously today we
wanted to be on the lead because that=s the best way he has run
before, but they went quick early on.@ Cont. p14

knew I was on the best horse in the race. After the three-eighths
he just took off. I wasn=t going to challenge that fast early speed.
I know this is a good horse and he will get in gear.@
Forster said that Pirate=s Punch has earned a step up in class
for his next outing, commenting, AThe Breeders= Cup Dirt Mile is
definitely our plan based on these last two races. For us in
Kentucky, it=s a home game this year. He does have one race at
Keeneland when he ran very well as he was just starting to
improve last fall. I know the owners and I are on board. We were
treating this as our >Win and You=re In.= He won it, so I guess we
have to put our money where our mouth is and give the horse a
chance to show what he can do on the national stage.@
Pedigree Notes:
With the victory, Pirate=s Punch becomes the 33rd stakes
winner and 15th graded stakes winner for Shanghai Bobby. He is
a half-brother to Girvin, victor of the 2017 GI Haskell Invitational
S. at this oval, GSW juvenile Cocked and Loaded and Midnight
Bourbon (Tiznow), runner-up in the GIII Iroquois S. Sept. 5. His
unraced dam, a half-sister to SWs Dubini (Gio Ponti) and What a
Catch (Justin Phillip), sold to Stonestreet for $240,000 at
Keeneland November in 2015 and was represented by a yearling
Curlin colt who hammered for $500,000 to Shadwell Thursday at
Keeneland September. She produced a colt by Quality Road
Feb. 4 before returning to Curlin.
TAYLOR MADE=S STALLION PROGRAM ON
THE RISE by Katie Ritz
Since the loss of Taylor Made=s signature stallion Unbridled=s
Song seven years ago, the farm has worked to regain its footing
in the ever-evolving, ever-competitive business of stallion
development. The first step, finding prospective stallions that fit
a specific program, often proves to be the most difficult.
AWhat do you look for in a stallion?@ asked Taylor Made=s
Frank Taylor. AThe one thing we know is nobody knows who is
going to be a great stallion. If anybody tells you they do, they=re
not telling the truth.@
Ben Taylor, Vice President of Taylor Made Stallions, added
that once you find a good fit, the price tag behind the prospect
can often make consideration unrealistic.
AWe are constantly on the lookout, but the market has been
so difficult in the last few years and the competition so fierce,@
Ben said. AEverybody seems to be after the same ones and the
payouts are just so astronomical that we haven=t been able to
get some of the upper-end stallions. So we just pick our spots
and try to be ready for opportunity when it presents itself and
take advantage of it. We=re trying to get stallions that we
believe in and can get behind, but it=s tough. We really needed a
horse like Not This Time to come on.@
Not This Time (Giant=s Causeway), currently the leading first-
crop sire by winners, has been an up-and-comer to watch all
year with his offspring showing his precocity on the track while
proving to be increasingly popular at the sales.
AThey=re early, I think they=re going to go the distance and
they=re running on both surfaces,@ Ben said. AHe reminds me of
Unbridled=s Song in that he=s good-looking, his horses are
talented and are all a pretty good size. In fact, I think he may be
a little better than Unbridled=s Song from a physical standpoint
because he gets the perfect-sized horse. He=s flawless and his
babies resemble him.@ Cont. p15

Not This Time already has the clout of having sired a GISW in
>TDN Rising Star= Princess Noor, who romped to victory in the GI
Del Mar Debutante S. earlier this month.
APrincess Noor is unbelievable,@ Ben said. AThey really haven=t
asked her to run yet, so they say, so it=ll be interesting to see
what happens going forward. She=s an unbelievable talent for
sure.@
Her sire had shown the same promise as a juvenile under Dale
Romans, breaking his maiden by 10 lengths and then taking the
GIII Iroquois S. by just under nine. After a close second in the
GI Breeders= Cup Juvenile, a soft tissue injury forced the son of
Giant=s Causeway to end his racing career.
AWe=re very lucky to have Not This Time,@ Ben admitted. AIf he
would have gone on and had the opportunity to compete as a
3-year-old, we probably wouldn=t have him.@
In the same year that Taylor Made welcomed Not This Time to
their roster, they also added dual GISW Mshawish (Medaglia
d=Oro).
AHe=s a little bit under the radar, I think,@ Ben said. ABut he=s
had a few horses run really well in major maiden races with
quality fields. They=re horses that want to go longer, so a lot of
them haven=t started yet, but they=re showing a lot of talent and
I think you=re going to see more of them popping up.@
In the class following Not This Time and Mshawish, GISW
Midnight Storm=s (Pioneerof the Nile) first yearlings are now
hitting the sales ring.
Two Midnight Storm yearlings brought six figures at the Fasig-
Tipton Selected Yearlings Showcase, and several dozen
youngsters are catalogued to go through the ring in the
following days at Keeneland. His headliner at Fasig-Tipton, a colt
out of Chickasaw Gal (Indian Charlie), brought $200,000 off a
$12,500 stud fee.
AThe yearlings that have sold so far have sold well,@ Ben said.
AFrom day one, we=ve had reports from people who bred to him
say, >Hey, I got a great one. I want to breed another mare.= He=s
from a sire line that I=m really excited about and I think is going
to make a big impact going forward.@
On Sept. 11, Taylor Made announced a new addition to their
roster for 2021 in >TDN Rising Star= Instagrand, a son of top sire
Into Mischief who will stand for an initial fee of $7,500.
AI=m very excited about Instagrand because he is a powerful,
strong, good-looking horse and he=s by Into Mischief, who is just
dominating the business right now,@ Frank said. AInstagrand=s
first two starts were unbelievable. The greatest stallions, I think,
have brilliance.@
A $1.2 million joint sale-topping purchase for Larry Best=s OXO
Equine at the 2018 Fasig-Tipton Gulfstream Sale, the flashy colt
broke his maiden in near record-breaking fashion at Los
Alamitos and then took the GII Best Pal S. at Del Mar by over 10
lengths. After a layoff, the sophomore placed in two graded
stakes including the GI Santa Anita Derby.
Frank said he believes that one of the keys to Instagrand=s
early success at stud will be the support he receives from first-
time stallion owner Larry Best.
AInstagrand has OXO Stallions behind him and Larry is very
excited,@ he said. AHe=s going to support him with a lot of mares,
and he=s going to buy his weanlings and yearlings at the sales. So
he believes in the horse fully and is going to put his power
behind him, which is going to be a great thing for breeders. We
think he=s got a really big shot.@
Frank reflected on the eventful season it has been for the
Taylor Made Stallions program.

Ben agreed that in the game of making stallions, luck is always
a major player.
AWe=ve been very fortunate to have the success we have had
with the limited number of stallions. We=ve had Saint Ballado,

KEENELAND GRADS MAKING PRESENCE
FELT IN RUSSIA
by Alan Carasso
While the marquee horses and seven-figure fireworks are long
since in the rear-view mirror when the Keeneland September
Sale--the largest of its kind in the world--reaches its later books,
there are still horses to be sold, even as the demand for those
youngsters could begin to wane. Several years ago, in an effort
to drum up interest in the latter stages of the sale, officials at
the Lexington auction house began mining smaller, off-the-
beaten-path markets, and those efforts have borne fruit in
places like Russia, where Lyudovik (Constitution) became the
fourth Keeneland graduate since 2014 to prevail in the $55,000
Russian Derby (RUS-G1, 2400m) at the historic Central Moscow
Hippodrome last month.
ADating back to long before I was here, we have made a
concerted effort to find owners and trainers in emerging
markets to get them to come and buy their Thoroughbreds here
at Keeneland,@ said Chip McGaughey, son of Hall of Fame trainer
Shug McGaughey, who joined Keeneland in 2015 and acts as a
liaison to these smaller racing jurisdictions. AObviously you can
see that it=s had dividends with the success we=ve had in certain
of those markets.@
Lyudovik, who became his sire=s second winner overall when
graduating at first asking in domestic Group 3 company at
Moscow last May, was bred by Pope McLean, Marc McLean,
Pope McLean, Jr. and Phil Hager and was purchased out of the
2018 September sale for $40,000 by Marc-Antoine Berghracht=s
M.A.B. Agency on behalf of his client Edward Mordukovich.
AMr. Mordukovich is very keen on pedigrees and especially
stallions and he follows American racing much more than I do,@
the French agent explained. AThe Constitutions are pretty
special-looking horses and I said to him, >We must buy one.= He
quite liked that horse too, so we decided to go for one.@
He continued, AMost of the racing in Russia is on dirt, and for
that reason, I like to buy those horses in America at Keeneland.
Conditions [in Russia] can be pretty tough and sometimes it isn=t
very easy keeping them sound, so I would not be very keen on
those big, scopey kinds of horses. I probably tend to focus more
on the European-type horse, but those that have a pedigree for
dirt.@
A winner of two of his four starts at two, Lyudovik--a son of
Speightlass (Speightstown)--returned from an 11-month
absence to finish a strong second in a local Group 2 over 2000
meters July 25 and accounted for fellow KEESEP grad Whiskey
Lemon Bars (Lemon Drop Kid--Film Maker {Dynaformer},
$40,000 yearling purchase) by a half-length in the Derby Aug. 16
(video, SC #4). Cont. p17

2015 Dacci (Arch) $55K RNA >13 KEESEP
2014 Yubiley (Kitten=s Joy) $55K >12 KEESEP
Other Keeneland-sourced winners on the Derby undercard
included General Palace (Palace Malice, $33,000 >19 KEESEP,
video--#8) in the Criterium S. (RUS-G2, 1600m) and Gold Boy
(Candy Ride {Arg}, $50,000 >18 KEEJAN, video--#3) in the City of
Moscow S. (RUS-G2, 2400m).
AHe=s always complaining about the horses we bought that
didn=t turn out, and I say to him, >Hang on, what about this one?
What about that one? What about Lyudovik?= and he goes,
>You=re right,=@ Berghracht said of Mordukovich. AAnd then we
won the Derby and everything is fine. He=s a character. He=s a
big fan of horses, he loves the game. He also races
Standardbreds and Arabians. He=s a great ambassador.@
Also on behalf of Mordukovich, Berghracht signed a ticket on a
son of Commissioner just two hips prior to purchasing Lyudovik
during session nine of the 2018 September Sale. Snapped up for
just $6,000, Bud= Geroem broke his maiden in a domestic Group
2 race over the metric mile last September and added the
Season Opening S. (RUS-G3) at nine furlongs first off the layoff
May 17 (video, #6).
AWe have a limited budget for Russia--we=re used to spending
between $20,000 and max $70,000 or $80,000,@ Berghracht
commented. ASo Lyudovik was right in the middle of our range.@
In most any line of business, the repeat customer is coveted,
and given the success of Keeneland graduates in Russia, the
clients are only too happy to return, hoping that lightning will
strike twice. In a COVID-abbreviated racing season in 2020,
some 32 Keeneland sales graduates have won Russia=s major
events--10 at Group 1 level, 15 Group 2 winners and 12 Group 3
winners. And, in what was almost certainly a landmark
achievement for the country, Tuz (Oxbow), a $7,000 graduate of
the 2018 September sale who won his two starts at Pyatigorsk
Racecourse by a combined margin of nearly 40 (yes, 40) lengths,
ran a blinder to be second in the Listed Al Bastakiya S. at
Meydan in Dubai this past March (video).
AIt=s a competitive landscape. Everyone wants to have their
market share and American Thoroughbreds have proven to
excel on dirt surfaces around the world,@ McGaughey said. AIf
they have success and their industry grows, they may start out
just buying $5,000 horses, but that is twenty $5,000 horses that
maybe otherwise would not have had a home. As their market
continues to grow, they=re going to be inclined to come back to
that source of success they had initially.@
Just five years ago, Russian interests acquired 60 horses for
gross receipts of $1.7 million ($28,333 average), not an
insignificant sum of money deep into the sale. Last year, they
purchased no fewer than 112 horses for $4.1 million ($36,607
average). McGaughey is confident the trend will continue in a
positive direction.
AThe industry over there is definitely growing and they have
made strides,@ he said. AThey=ve been working to try to become
part of the IFHA [International Federation of Horseracing
Authorities], the French PMU has set up their tote system and
simulcasting throughout different regions.@
Foreign participation at this year=s September Sale is likely to
be limited by travel restrictions currently in place, but
McGaughey expects Russian interests to remain just as active as
years past.
AWith the pandemic, international sales are going to be down,
but optimistically for the Russian market, there are currently no
travel restrictions for Russian nationals coming into the United
States,@ he explained. AThe majority of people I=ve spoken to are
coming. There are a few exceptions, as the Russian Consulates
are closed and are not issuing new visas at the moment, so
some of them won=t be able to participate. But 90-95% of those
planning to come over are still coming.@
JESUS= TEAM TO BE SUPPLEMENTED TO
PREAKNESS Grupo 7C Stable's Jesus' Team (Tapiture), third in the GII Jim
Dandy S. and fourth in the GI TVG.com Haskell Invitational S.,
will be supplemented to the GI Preakness S. Oct. 3 at Pimlico.
The decision was made, said trainer Jose D'Angelo, after the
$30,000 Keeneland September buy breezed a half-mile Saturday
at Monmouth Park in :47.80.
"I explained to the owner the races [available] to him and he
thinks the best decision was to run in the Preakness," D'Angelo
said. "He worked four furlongs very well. He's very, very good
right now, and the Preakness is a great race for us."
D'Angelo said Jesus' Team, named after the owner's son,
would work again next weekend at Monmouth before heading
to Pimlico.
Jesus' Team broke his maiden in a $32,000 claiming event
Mar. 18 at Gulfstream Park and won a claiming race May 8
before finishing second behind GII Tampa Bay Derby runner-up
Sole Volante (Karakontie {Jpn}) by three-quarters of a length
June 10 at Gulfstream in an allowance/optional claiming event.

OAK HILL (c, 3, Distorted Humor--Tabarin, by El Prado {Ire})
won July 18 at Saratoga when stretched out to a mile after being
outkicked in his June debut at Churchill going 5 1/2 panels, but
was unruly in his allowance return Aug. 16, resulting in Javier
Castellano wrapping up on him well before the finish as he
faded more than 40 lengths behind the winner. It was a
different story Sunday as he bounced out of the gate and kindly
stalked from the outside behind fractions of :23.78 and :48.52.
Oak Hill collared the leader on the turn and went on by to score
by a length as the favorite at nearly 3-1. Falkirk (Cairo Prince)
closed for the runner-up spot. The winner is a full to Abraham,
SW & GSP, $732,772; and a half to Beat the Benchmark
(Speightstown), GISP-Can, SP-USA. Tabarin=s last three foals
have been by Tapit: an unraced 2-year-old filly named Lady
Brielle, a yearling colt who was an $190,000 RNA Friday at

JOHNY'S FIREBALL (c, 2, Tonalist--Sweet Emma Rose {SW-USA,
GSP-Eng, $137,997}, by City Zip), third going a mile over the Ellis
turf Aug. 8, faded to fifth while trying the dirt here Sept. 2.
Getting blinkers off while returning to the sod this time, the 9-5
choice settled in a midpack sixth early as Command Central
(Kitten=s Joy) cut out a quarter in :24.06. Sensing a pokey pace
up front, Gabe Saez caught up with the leader, who had
dawdled through a half mile in :51.01. Taking control turning for
home, Johny=s Fireball opened up a two-length cushion but saw
that dwindle down to a head as 16-1 Ethical Judgement (Honor
Code) closed late. The pacesetter rounded out the trifecta. A
stakes winner in the U.S. and runner up in Royal Ascot=s G2

DECADE (f, 2, California Chrome--Emma Carly, by Unbridled's

career debut at Ellis Aug. 15. Firster Color of Dawn (Exaggerator)
jumped to the lead early and Decade was hustled into a stalking
position through an initial quarter in :22.82. Asked for more by
Ricardo Santana Jr. leaving the far turn, the heavy favorite
collared Color of Dawn and was on equal terms with her rival
turning for home. Despite running greenly while remaining on
her wrong lead through the length of the stretch, Decade held
on to a neck advantage over Color of Dawn at the wire. Decade
is the fifth winner for her GI Kentucky Derby and GI Preakness S.

IRISH YEARLING SEASONBEGINS IN NEWMARKET
By Daithi Harvey
The symbiotic relationship between the Irish and British racing
and bloodstock industries has never been so evident as it is on
Monday as the Irish yearling sale season gets underway at Park
Paddocks in Newmarket with the relocated Tattersalls Ireland
September Yearling Sale.
As has been the case so far this year with other bloodstock
sales and indeed other global industries, expectations have been
tempered as travel restrictions and economic woes have
understandably had and will continue to have a detrimental
effect on the selling of future racehorses. Participants, however,
will wholeheartedly agree any trade is better than no trade and
in the midst of challenges the bloodstock industry has held up
remarkably well.
The team at Tattersalls Ireland have little reason to believe
such resilience will desert them over the next few days as they
facilitate the selling of a strong book of yearlings, many whose
causes have been aided by the exploits of some high-achieving
siblings and graduates of this sale, with recent G1 Matron S.
winner Champers Elysees (Ire) (Elzaam {Aus}) heading that roll
of honour. Simon Kerins, Tattersalls Ireland's Marketing
Director, while mindful of world events, is nevertheless positive
in his outlook. Cont. p2
TDN Q&A WITH EDDIE LINEHAN With the yearling sales now in full swing, TDN quizzes industry
figures on past purchases, life during lockdown and their
perspective on the sales over the next few weeks. Today, Eddie
Linehan answers our questions.
TDN: What was your best yearling purchase over the last few
years? And your favourite?
EL: [G1 Matron S. winner] Champers Elysees (Ire) (Elzaam {Aus})
was the best I've ever signed for. She was late on the third day
of the Tattersalls Ireland September Yearling Sale and was a
standout yearling that day. Johnny Murtagh had loved her and
was gone home by the time she was in the ring so I bid on her.
My favourite yearling was a Piccolo (GB) filly called Nantany
(GB). She was an 800gns purchase in my first year buying
breezers. She went on to win a listed race in Germany and was
stakes placed a few times. Cont. p4

PROMOTING THE SALE HAS HAD ITS
CHALLENGES THIS YEAR BUT
THANKFULLY A LOT OF PREVIOUS
GRADUATES HAVE DONE THE TALKING
FOR US ON THE TRACK.Simon Kerins
Irish Yearling Season Cont. from p1
"It's all systems go and we are very fortunate to be able to
relocate the sale to Newmarket," Kerins said. "The UK is our
biggest market for this sale and
while it's disappointing to have
to move from Ireland we really
had no choice and vendors
understand this and have been
very flexible and supportive.
Park Paddocks is obviously a
fantastic facility and having
made the decision quite early to
relocate we've had time to re-do
the stabling plan and have
everything sorted," he added.
Kerins continued, "Promoting
the sale has had its challenges
this year but thankfully a lot of
previous graduates have done the talking for us on the track and
we're delighted that there are so many siblings to these high
achievers catalogued this week. Speaking to trainers, the
majority are committed to buying, some perhaps on a lesser
scale but the catalogue is condensed this year so we are
optimistic that trade will be at a very respectable level. We are
hoping also the change in venue will see us welcoming back
some UK buyers who haven't been to our Fairyhouse complex in
a while.
AWe are very aware of the challenges people face currently
but horse sales have stood the test of time and given the way
the industry has coped so far this year, coupled with the
strength of the catalogue, gives us all encouragement that we
will have a solid, successful sale."
Last year's edition of the Tattersalls Ireland September
Yearling Sale has already unearthed the Group 2-winning pair of
juvenile fillies Dandalla (Ire) (Dandy Man {Ire}) and Aloha Star
(Ire) (Starspangledbanner {Aus}).
Potential buyers can look forward to the chance of buying a
half-sibling to each of these fillies this week though no doubt
such investors will have to prepare for a larger outlay than the
i22,000 and i67,000, respectively, it cost to acquire their
illustrious relatives last year.
Dandalla's breeder Robert
Norton will offer a Divine
Prophet (Aus) half-sister (lot 83)
to the G3 Albany S. and G2
Duchess Of Cambridge S. winner
through Newtownbarry House
Stud, while early in the session
Collegelands Stud offers a
half-brother to G2 Airlie Stud S.
winner Aloha Star by
Mastercraftsman (Ire) as lot 4.
Both yearlings are out of young
mares who have produced a
high-class horse early in their
breeding career, giving the pedigrees scope for even further
improvement in the coming years.
As mentioned above, Johnny Murtagh purchased G1 Coolmore
America 'Justify' Matron S. winner Champers Elysees (Ire) in this
sale two years ago for i28,000 and her dam Le Cuvee (GB)
(Mark Of Esteem {Ire}) is represented this time around by lot
222, a colt by red-hot sire Mehmas (Ire). Offered by Beechvale
Stud the colt was pinhooked as a foal at Goffs for i19,000 and
is likely to show a good profit for connections.
A major pedigree update is something that fuels the dreams of
pinhookers and another yearling whose value has increased
significantly since being purchased last year is lot 309 from
Coole House Farm. The Tamayuz (GB) filly was bought by BBA
Ireland for 11,000gns at Tattersalls last year but last month her
year-older brother Minzaal (Ire) (Mehmas {Ire}) delivered the
mother of all updates when winning the G2 Gimcrack S. at York
in impressive fashion.
Cont. p3

Aloha Star | Tattersalls
Irish Yearling Season Cont.
While the breeders of Minzaal and this filly, Ringfort Stud, are
missing out on selling the Tamayuz filly, they can take solace
from the addition of another high-class black type winner to the
pedigree of their lot 230. This filly by first-crop sire Galileo Gold
(GB) is a half-sister to this month's G2 Flying Childers S. winner
Ubettabelieveit (Ire) (Kodiac {GB}) among three other stakes
winners so lacks nothing in terms of pedigree.
York's Ebor meeting also provided a major boost to the
prospects of lot 165 from Boherguy Stud. The Jim Bolger-bred
Teofilo (Ire) colt already has plenty going for him being a
full-brother to G3 Eyrefield S. winner Guaranteed but his
2-year-old full-sibling Gear Up (Ire) added a further touch of
class to the page when he won the G3 Acomb S. at York for
trainer Mark Johnston.
The updates kept coming for Clare Manning's Boherguy Stud
when her grandfather Jim Bolger=s New Treasure (Ire) (New
Approach {Ire}) landed the G3 Heider Family Stables Round
Tower S. at The Curragh at odds of 66-1. Manning has the colt's
full-brother catalogued on Tuesday as lot 260.
Fillies by Kingman (GB) could well become collectors' items in
years to come and there are two opportunities in the sale to
acquire one. Lot 98 from The Castlebridge Consignment has a
pure Juddmonte pedigree hailing from the famous family of
Hasili (Ire) (Kahyasi {Ire}) and Intercontinental (GB) (Danehill)
and her dam Continental Drift (Smart Strike)'s only runner from
two horses of racing age is the promising Ger Lyons-trained
Masen (GB) (Kingman {GB}), a debut winner at Leopardstown
and group placed subsequently. The other Kingman filly is from
Luke Barry's Manister House Stud and lot 248 is a half-sister to
multiple stakes winner Justineo (GB) (Oasis Dream {GB}) from
the fast family of Galeota (Ire) (Mujadil). Cont. p4

Irish Yearling Season Cont.
Yearlings from first-crop stallions can often provide value,
especially if the stallion boasts solid credentials. Churchill (Ire)
and Caravaggio certainly fall into that category as multiple
Group 1 winners with top-class pedigrees to back up their race
records. Champion European 2-year-old and dual Guineas
winner Churchill has a pair of colts in the sale including lot 57
from The Castlebridge Consignment. This chestnut is out of the
stakes performer Blue Angel (Ire) (Oratorio {Ire}) and is a
half-brother to Listed Dee S. winner Viren's Army (Ire) (Twirling
Candy) who topped this sale in 2014 when selling to Peter and
Ross Doyle for i115,000.
Joe Hernon's Castletown Stud offers lot 65, one of three
yearlings by G1 Commonwealth Cup winner Caravaggio in the
sale. The grey grandson of Scat Daddy is out of the Sadler's
Wells mare Bright Birdie (Ire) who has already produced the
multiple stakes winner Flying Fairies (Ire) (Holy Roman Emperor
{Ire}).
Nicky Teehan of Bluegate Stud could be in for another good
payday courtesy of his former mare Bulrushes (GB). The mare,
who Teehan sold privately last year to Al Wasmiyah Farm, has
bred three stakes winners, the most recent being Ten Year
Ticket (Ire) (Rock Of Gibraltar {Ire}) who carried Teehan's colours
to victory in a listed race at Leopardstown in June before being
sold to race in Hong Kong. The mare's latest offering, lot 72, is a
colt by Red Jazz, making him a full-brother to Snazzy Jazzy (Ire),
who along with a French Group 3 win also won the valuable
Tattersalls Ireland Sales Race in 2017.
Selling gets underway at 11 a.m. on Monday and 10 a.m. on
Tuesday with Part II of the sale commencing directly after the
main sale finishes on Tuesday. As has been the case for many
years all lots catalogued are eligible for the aforementioned
i300,000 Tattersalls Ireland Super Auction Sale S. to be run at
The Curragh in 12 months= time.
With Eddie Linehan Cont. from p1
TDN: Are there any positives you have taken from how the
sales have been conducted this year?
EL: Sales have been much the same really bar the masks and
keeping your distance from people. All concerned are working
hard and it seems to be working well. Cont. p5

Champers Elysees winning the Matron | racingfotos.com
With Eddie Linehan Cont.
TDN: How has your business adapted?
EL: I haven't had to adapt too
much so far bar trying to be as
selective as possible. I have
been busy buying my own
breeze-up horses and a few
yearlings for Johnny Murtagh.
TDN: In general what are your
thoughts on the 2020 yearling
catalogues? And what new
stallions= progeny are you
most looking forward to?
EL: All the catalogues so far
have been good. I was very
impressed with the Tattersalls Ascot sale recently. On paper the
Tattersalls Ireland September Yearling Sale looks strong so I'm
really looking forward to that.
I've been very impressed with the Ribchesters (Ire) I have seen
so far. There have been some nice horses by Profitable (Ire) and
Cotai Glory (GB) too.
TDN: Did you develop any new interests or hobbies during
lockdown?
EL: No new hobbies during
lockdown bar eating a lot more
as my sister Kate and fiancee
Ellen were off work and it was
like a bake off every day. I had
plenty of help mucking out
though so I wasn't complaining.
TDN: Who's the most
interesting person you know?
EL: The most interesting person
I know is Eugene O' Sullivan.
He's a remarkable man.
TDN: What's one mistake (if any) you have made in your
career, and what did you learn from it?

The Lir Jet | Scoop Dyga
With Eddie Linehan Cont.
EL: I've made lots of mistakes but last year I said I wasn't going
to buy anything unless I really loved it. I bought two in particular
that I only half-liked as the money was ok and neither worked
out great.
MIDDLE PARK NEXT FOR THE LIR JET Group winner The Lir Jet (Ire) (Prince of Lir {Ire}) will resurface
in the G1 Middle Park S. at Newmarket on Sept. 26. The Qatar
Racing runner was originally slated for a return in the G2 Flyer
Childers S. earlier this month, but was a non-runner that day.
After winning the G2 Norfolk S. at Royal Ascot in June, the colt
missed by only a short head in the G2 Prix Robert Papin at
Chanitlly in mid-July and was third promoted to second in the
Aug. 9 G1 Phoenix S.
AWe just felt five furlongs on drying ground wouldn=t
necessarily be his thing,@ said conditioner Michael Bell. AWe had
the Middle Park as an alternative and, all being well, we=ll head
to Newmarket.
AI=m sure it will be a very good race, but the horse is in very
good form and good order, so we=re looking forward to it.
Hopefully Newmarket will produce a nice, safe surface for
everybody, which I=m sure they will.@
Also making his next start in the Middle Park is undefeated
Listed Rose Bowl S. hero Method (Ire) (Mehmas {Ire}). The colt
opened his account with a 4 1/4-length win in a Doncaster
novice affair in June prior to his listed win on July 18 for owner
Manton Park Racing.
AHe=s doing his final bits of prep for that and, at the moment,
it=s all systems go for Saturday,@ said trainer Martyn Meade.
AEverything is going to plan. He=s definitely on course for that.
He=s fine and we=re hoping for a big run from him. It=s very
exciting and we=d love to win that to make a miserable season a
bit better.@
QUIAN STARS AT DORTMUND Out of his depth when sixth in the G3 Prix Gladiateur at
ParisLongchamp last time Sept. 6, Stall Hornoldendorf=s Quian
(Ger) (Mastercraftsman {Ire}) was back in familiar waters on
Sunday as he proved too strong in the G3 RaceBets Deutsches St
Leger at Dortmund. Previously successful in the Listed
Hoppegartener Steher-Preis July 19, the 13-5 shot was settled in
fourth early by Lukas Delozier and drew on his abundant
stamina in the straight to earn the lead approaching the furlong
marker and assert for a two-length verdict over Sommelier
(Ger) (Soldier Hollow {GB}).
Pedigree Notes Quian=s dam Quiana (Ger) (Monsun {Ger}) is kin to the profilic-
winning champion Quijano (Ger) (Acatenango {Ger}), whose
exploits included the G1 Grosser Preis der Baden and two
renewals of the G1 Gran Premio di Milano as well as multiple
placings at the highest level in North America. The third dam
Quest of Fire (Fr) (Rainbow Quest) is a half-sister to the G3 Prix
Cleopatre-winning producer Brooklyn=s Dance (Fr) (Shirley
Heights {GB}) whose six black-type winners are headed by the
G1 Prix de l=Arc de Triomphe heroine Solemia (Ire) (Poliglote
{GB}). This is also the family of the G1 Poule d=Essai des
Pouliches and G1 Sussex S.-winning first-season sire The Gurkha
(Ire) and the G1 Epsom Derby-winning sire Authorized (Ire)
Montjeu {Ire}). Quiana=s unraced 2-year-old colt by Helmet (Aus)
is named Quizzer (Ire), while she also has a yearling filly by
Highland Reel (Ire).

Unstoppable last term, Square de Luynes may have needed his
reintroduction when third in Ovrevoll=s G3 Marit Sveaas
Minnelop Aug. 23 and was duly back in the winning groove here.
Successful by seven lengths in this 12 months ago, the AFrankel
of the fjords@ was in only slightly less-dominating mood as he
brought off the repeat making all under regular rider Pat
Cosgrave. Also the winner of the 12-furlong G3 Oslo Cup at
Ovrevoll last June and the 2019 renewal of the Marit Sveaas
Minnelop over nine furlongs, the versatile bay is one of two
black-type winners for the Listed Warwickshire Oaks scorer
Power Girl alongside the Listed Prix d=Automne winner and G3
Prix Fille de l=Air runner-up Glowing Cloud. Power Girl=s dam
Picara is a full-sister to the G1 Deutsches Derby and G2 German
2000 Guineas hero Philipo (Ger). The dam=s unraced 2-year-old

The very fast and now Group 3 winner 2-year-old filly
Plainchant (Fr) (Gregorian {Ire}BNadinska {GB}, by Doyen {Ire})
has a learned name straight out of the Early Middle Ages.
APlainchant is a form of medieval church music that involves
chanting or words that are sung, without any instrumental
accompaniment@, according to Wikipedia, and a Gregorian chant
is its more popular and famous variation, often credited by
legend to Pope Gregory I (590-604). The stallion Gregorian is by
Clodovil (Ire), whose name may be an alteration or a reference
to the name of Clovis, the first king of the Franks (died 511) and
founder of the Merovingian dynasty (later maligned as les rois
fainJants). This talented young filly is trained by Maurizio
Guarnieri, a member of the up and coming group of Italian
trainers in France--a migration phenomenon that, in general
terms, is both new and old: some Latin cousins from beyond the
Alps have historically done well in France. Napoleone
Buonaparte, Amedeo Modigliani and Yves Montand come to
mind.

was able to establish himself on the lead from his wide draw

foal out of the unraced dam, whose yearling full-sister to the
winner sells on Thursday at the Goffs Sportsman=s Yearling Sale
at Doncaster and who also has a colt foal by Footstepsinthesand

MARLAR (GER) (f, 2, Kallisto {Ger}--Muriel {Ire} {GSP-Ger}, by
Fath {GB}), off the mark at the first time of asking at Hanover
July 25, enjoyed an ideal stalking trip on the inner behind the
early pace. Granted a gap on the fence at the top of the straight,
the 11-5 second favourite was in command from the furlong
pole and hit the line strong to score by 2 1/4 lengths from Kahar
(Ger) (Isfahan {Ger}). The winner is a full-sister to the Group 3-
placed Ming Jung (Fr) and a half to the talented five-times group
scorer Millowitsch (Ger) (Sehrezad {Ire}), 2x Hwt. Older Horse-
Ger at 5-7f, MGSW-Ger, $436,309, and the dual listed-placed
Maha Kumari (Ger) (Soldier Hollow {GB}). The G3 Silberne
Peitsche-placed dam, who has a yearling son of Protectionist
(Ger) to follow, is a half to the listed scorer and GI Beverly D. S.
runner-up Gifted Girl (Ire) (Azamour {Ire}) from the family of the
G1 Irish Oaks heroine Margarula (Ire) (Doyoun {Ire}). Sales

BEST OF LIPS (IRE) (c, 2, The Gurkha {Ire}--Beata {Fr}, by Silver
Frost {Ire}), third on debut over seven furlongs at Munich Aug.
29, was held up towards the rear early from his wide draw.
Travelling smoothly to the front with two furlongs remaining,
the 21-10 second favourite readily asserted to score by 3 3/4
lengths from Aff Un Zo (Ger) (Kallisto {Ger}) and become the
eighth winner for his first-season sire (by Galileo {Ire}). The dam,
who has a yearling filly by Mastercraftsman (Ire), is a daughter
of the multiple group scorer Bright Moon (Alysheba). That
makes her a half-sister to the G1 Prix de Diane and G1 Prix de
l=Opera heroine Bright Sky (Ire) (Wolfhound) and to the dual
Group 3 winner Board Meeting (Ire) (Anabaa) who was also
placed in the Opera and the G1 Prix Vermeille and G1 Prix Jean

SAMPRAS (GB) (c, 2, Iffraaj {GB}--Survey {Ger} {GSW-Ger,
$245,718}, by Big Shuffle), sent off at 4-1 on this racecourse
bow, was free early anchored towards the back. Moving with
menace as he gained the advantage with 300 metres to race,
the bay opened up instantly to register a commanding three-
length verdict over Quello (Ire) (Soldier Hollow {GB}). The G3
Schwarzgold-Rennen-winning dam=s first foal was the triple
listed-placed Sunny Belle (Ire) (Exceed and Excel {Aus}). A half-
sister to the G3 Albert von Metzler-Rennen winner Shadow
Sadness (Ger) (Soldier Hollow {GB}), she has a yearling colt by
Nathaniel (Ire) and a filly foal by Shadow Sadness=s sire. Lifetime

STELLA (GER) (f, 2, Neatico {Ger}--Startissima {GB}, by Green
Tune), a 4-1 shot on this debut, missed the break and needed to
be roused to gain a mid-division slot on the rail. Sent in pursuit
of Libre (Ire) (Exceed and Excel {Aus}) in the straight, the
chestnut wore her down in the last 50 metres for a 3/4-of-a-
length success. The dam, whose yearling filly is by Maxios (GB),
hails from the family of the G1 Preis von Europa and G2 Prix
Guillaume d=Ornano-winning sire Scalo (GB) (Lando {Ger}) and
his full-brother Sound Check (Ger) who was a Group 2 winner in
his native Germany before finishing second in the G1 Auckland

Fr, MSW & GSP-Ger, $150,515}, by Authorized {Ire}), runner-up
over 6 1/2 furlongs at Mulheim Aug. 24, was sent from his wide
draw and quickly held sway on the front end. Driven to establish
a clear lead passing halfway, the 5-2 second favourite was
relentless en route to a four-length defeat of Scipio (Ger)
(Guiliani {Ire}). The smart dam, who captured the G3 Prix Allez
France and was third in the G2 Prix Corrida, produced the
Japanese stakes winner Vachement (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}) as her
first foal, SW-Jpn, $272,445. Daksha, a granddaughter of the G1
Coronation S. heroine Golden Opinion (Slew o= Gold), is a half to
the G3 Prix Vanteaux runner-up Wait and See (Fr) (Montjeu
{Ire}) who in turn produced the Listed Prix Saraca scorer Sonjeu
(Fr) (Intello {Ger}). Her yearling colt by Fastnet Rock (Aus) made
the top five lots at this month=s BBAG September Yearling Sale
