SMITH OUT TO CONQUER>WORLD= WITH ARROGATE
by Joe Bianca
In May of 2005, Mike Smith piloted a gray colt by one of his
beloved former mounts to a 50-1 upset in the GI Kentucky
Derby. Giacomo (Holy Bull) represented the jockey=s first career
win in the Run for the Roses, and it should have been the
springboard to new heights of success for the New Mexico
native. Instead, the Derby score was an outlier during the
toughest period for Smith=s business since he left Canterbury
Downs to ride on racing=s biggest stages in 1989.
AI more or less did it to myself,@ Smith said of the lull in his
career. AI thought, >well I=ll just hang out in Kentucky for a little
bit,= and thought I=d ease my way back east for a little while.@
Smith, who moved to California in 2000 after riding in New
York for the better part of a decade, returned to the Big Apple
and rode just 81 winners in 2005, a total that was tied for 250th
in the country.
It was a conversation with Giacomo=s co-owner, Jerry Moss,
that got Smith=s career back on a fast track.

SIX TO WATCH FOR FROM FASIG-TIPTON by Brian DiDonato This week=s Fasig-Tipton Gulfstream Sale again featured a verypromising group of 2-year-olds, including many who turned inextremely strong works. You don=t need me to tell you howgood the toppers looked, so here are six prospects under$450,000 (in the bottom 75% or so of those who sold) whomight be worth keeping an eye out for.

He=s fairly compact, but extremely well-muscled and powerful-looking, and looks like he should come tohand pretty early. He got over the ground very fluidly andappears to have some speed. Cont. p5

Versatile Grade I winner Midnight Storm (Pioneerof the Nile) will run in the GI Santa
Anita H. next Saturday, rather than wait for the G1 Dubai World Cup Mar. 25, trainer
Phil D'Amato told the Santa Anita press department Thursday. "We're running in the
Big 'Cap," the conditioner confirmed. "We made the decision yesterday for sure. The
horse is going well and depending on weather, he could breeze Sunday or Monday."Benoit Photo

Arrogate all alone in his Travers romp
Jamie Coulter
Mike Smith cont. from p1
AI was given the opportunity to come back and ride a horse in
California and in doing so, I went out to dinner that night with
John Shirreffs and Mr. Moss,@ Smith recalled. AMr. Moss said,
>What are you doing out there? Why don=t you just come back
and ride all my horses?= That was my opportunity. I literally went
home, I packed, and I was back in California two days later. Then
things just took off. I got back in town, put my nose to the
grindstone and have kept it there ever since.@
Smith officially staked his return to racing=s upper echelon with
another Moss charge, four-time Eclipse Award winner Zenyatta
(Street Cry {Ire}), and he has been the regular rider of fellow
champions Shared Belief (Candy Ride {Arg}) and Songbird
(Medaglia d=Oro) in recent years. But it=s his partnership with
another gray colt by another one of his beloved former mounts
that has the potential to take the 51-year-old Smith=s career to
its highest altitude yet.
>TDN Rising Star= Arrogate (Unbridled=s Song), a $560,000
Keeneland September yearling purchase by Juddmonte Farms,
missed all of his 2-year-old season, but captured three of his first
four starts as a sophomore, signaling considerable promise in
each performance. Largely untested in his wins, however, he
entered the Aug. 27 GI Travers S. as an unknown commodity.
That could explain why Rafael Bejarano, who was in the irons for
all three of Arrogate=s victories, opted to ride trainer Bob
Baffert=s other entry in the race, the more established stakes
winner American Freedom (Pulpit). Smith, who was already at
Saratoga that day to ride fellow Baffert trainee Drefong (Gio
Ponti) in the GI King=s Bishop S., gladly took the pickup mount.
After a breathtaking 13 1/2-length romp in a track record
1:59.36 later, Smith knew he had struck gold. Cont. p4

Arrogate and Mike Smith after winning the Pegasus World Cup
Adam Mooshian
Smith cont.
AI remember looking over at the [big screen] and thinking, >Oh
man! Did he just open up by that many, that quickly?=@ Smith
said. AThen I saw that the time was under two minutes and I was
floored. And I still thought that we had room to grow.@
That thought proved correct. Arrogate followed up his Travers
romp by besting Horse of the Year California Chrome (Lucky
Pulpit) in the GI Breeders= Cup Classic Nov. 5. Then, a week after
being crowned champion 3-year-old male for 2016, he scored
another devastating, track record-setting victory in the inaugural
running of the $12-million GI Pegasus World Cup Invitational
Jan. 28 at Gulfstream Park.
AHe=s incredible,@ Smith exclaimed. AI don=t know if I=ve ever
been on this kind of horse, with the speed and stamina that he
has. It=s jaw-dropping. On top of all that, I don=t think we=ve
gotten to see how good he really is yet, which is crazy. In seven
starts, he=s already done things that the greats haven=t done.@
Equally impressive to Smith as Arrogate=s stratospheric talent
level is how unflappable and easy-going the colt is.
AWhat=s great about him is his mannerisms,@ Smith relayed.
AHe=s a big old laid back dude. He doesn=t know how special he is
and he really doesn=t care. He just goes out and does his job and
is just happy to get a carrot when he gets back to the barn. He=s
not a diva, doesn=t need all kinds of stuff, he=s just a cool, laid
back horse who=s just happy to hang out.@
Earlier this week, it was announced that Arrogate would ship
to the United Arab Emirates to run in the Mar. 25 $10 million
G1 Dubai World Cup. The 2,000-meter test is one of the few
prestigious dirt races that Smith has yet to land.

Smith cont.
AWithout a doubt,@ Smith said when asked if he=s motivated bychecking off the World Cup box on his resume. AIt was soexciting to hear that news. I=m still jumping around just for theopportunity. He=s going have to go there and run his race, but Ithink he should run huge, especially with that long old lane.@ Smith and agent Brad Pegram are very selective about hismounts these days, taking just 33 assignments thus far in 2017.Yet he ranks far and away as the leading money-earner, thanksto Arrogate=s Pegasus heroics. AI=ve been very blessed,@ Smith said. AWe=re having a whole lotof fun. I tell you, I don=t know if I=ve ever had this much fun.@ The fun may just be beginning. And the long, winding roadfrom Holy Bull to Unbridled=s Song to Giacomo to Arrogate hasreturned Smith to the pinnacle of his profession. It=s likely to bea while before he comes back down.
Six to Watch for From Fasig. cont. from p1HIP 21, c, Tale of the Cat--Awesome Bull, by Holy BullBreeder: Edition Farm (NY)Consignor: Wavertree Stables, Inc. (Ciaran Dunne), Agent IIBuyer: August Dawn FarmPrice: $250,000 NFL Hall of Famer Bill Parcells has already enjoyed racetracksuccess with a New York-bred son of Tale of the Cat in MSWSaratoga Snacks, and he looks to be poised for a similar outcomewith this latest purchase. Having previously sold for $160,000 atthe Fasig-Tipton Saratoga New York-bred Preferred Sale, thisFeb. 22 foal looked very athletic while really striding out nicely,stopping the clock in :10 2/5. By a racehorse sire, he seems capable of handling longer distances.
HIP 48, c, Curlin--Dress the Part, by Malibu MoonBreeder: Lochlow Farm (Ky)Consignor: Consigned by William B. Harrigan (Miacomet FarmLtd.), Agent
Buyer: Mike Ryan, agentPrice: $170,000 He Aonly@ worked in :10 4/5, but if this well-bred colt runs tohis pedigree, we might be talking about him come this time nextyear. Purchased for $500,000 in utero at Fasig-Tipton Novemberand then for $240,000 at Fasig-Tipton Saratoga, this relativelylate foal (Apr. 22) is out of a mare who took some time todevelop and who was a stakes-winning router at five. Dress thePart is also a full-sister to the undefeated, but ill-fated MGSWOnlyforyou. Hip 48 might not have run a hole in the wind from atime perspective, but he wasn=t pushed on too hard and showedoff an athleticism that might suit him well as the trips get longer.
HIP 117, c, Paynter--Perfect Wave, by Boston Harbor
Breeder: Millennium Farms & Payner Syndicate (Ky)
Consignor: SGV Thoroughbreds (Steven Venosa), agent
Buyer: Steven W Young, agent
Price: $425,000
This is one of the first we=ve seen on the track from Paynter=s
first crop, and if the rest are anything like him, look out. This
$170,000 Fasig-Tipton October grad looked quick and athletic
while breezing in a willing and fairly unpressured :10 1/5. His
dam was two-for-two sprinting as a juvenile, but a SW/MGSP
half-sister was later developing and preferred a route of ground.
Hip 117 seems versatile himself, and could be quick and
precocious while also able to handle added real estate.
HIP 150, c, Flat Out--Story Untold, by Old Fashioned
Breeder: Machmer Hall (Ky)
Consignor: Consigned by Q Bar J Thoroughbreds LLC (Jenn &
Quincy Adams), Agent
Buyer: John C Oxley
Price: $400,000
A great pinhooking score as just a $50,000 FTKJUL yearling,
this colt=s MGISW sire seemed to get better with age, but he
looks like he inherited serious speed and precocity from his
dam=s side. Cont. p6

Hip 150 cont.
The :10 1/5 breezer is a half to Arella Rockstar (Astrology), a
front-running debut winner last summer at Saratoga who took
the GIII Matron S. off the claim for Rudy Rodriguez next out. Hip
150's unraced dam is a half to Feline Story (Tale of the Cat), a
freakishly fast 2-year-old who won her debut by almost 12,
annexed the Astoria S. by daylight second up and grabbed the
GIII Sorority S. by 5 3/4 lengths two starts later.

Corfu, this $200,000 Fasig-Tipton Saratoga acquisition looked to

CALCULATOR (h, 5, In Summation--Back to Basics, by Alphabet
Soup) placed in a pair of Grade I events as a 2-year-old and
easily annexed the GIII Sham S. in his sophomore debut before
having to be shelved for the remainder of that campaign. Close
seconds in both the GI Carter H. and GII Churchill Downs S. at
four, the gray was last of 10 in the GI Metropolitan H. June 11 at
Belmont and finished third after disputing a fast pace in his turf
debut in a Del Mar optional claimer July 23. Bet down to 3-5 in
this return, he broke decently and traveled second-last down
the backstretch behind a tepid quarter of :22.41 set by Cautious
Giant (Giant=s Causeway). Advancing along the rail before
angling out a bit approaching the five-sixteenths pole, Calculator
was the beneficiary of the frontrunner drifting wide entering the
stretch and he steadily grinded that one down to score by a
head. The winner=s dam has an unraced 3-year-old colt by
Overdriven named Earnhardt, a juvenile filly by High Cotton and
foaled a filly from the final crop of Scat Daddy last term. Sales

CITY STORM (g, 3, City Zip--Storm Showers, by Storm Cat)
chased a fast pace in the key race won by GI Kentucky Derby
contender American Anthem (Bodemeister) Dec. 3 at Del Mar
and returned as a new gelding in this first turf spin. Breaking
sharply before settling in third past a :21.75 quarter, the
chestnut was hung four-wide for the majority of the turn, but
swept to the front soon after straightening for home. Kicking
away by midstretch, City Storm held sway late to graduate by a
head over closing favorite Conquest Smartee (Smart Strike), who
was making his first start for Hronis Racing and John Sadler after
being purchased for $390,000 at the Keeneland November

SPRINTING VETERANSOLE POWER RETIRED
Popular sprinter Sole Power (GB) (Kyllachy {GB}) has been
retired from racing at age 10. The gelding will spend his
retirement at Horse Park Stud in Ashford, County Wicklow.
"He was a great horse, but time waits for no man and he's
been retired,@ said trainer Eddie Lynam. "He's been a wonderful
horse and he's going out on his own terms, as he's totally sound.
His form up to 2015 had been at a very high level, but his form
has dipped in recent years as, like all of us, he's got slower as
he's got older.@
Campaigned by Sabena Power, Sole Power first gained acclaim
when besting the world champion sprinter Starspangledbanner
(Aus) (Choisir {Aus}) in the G1 Nunthorpe S. at 100-1 as a 3-year-
old in 2010. He won the G2 Temple S. the following year and
was just touched off when a head third in the G1 Prix de
l=Abbaye. Sole Power was placed in Meydan=s G1 Al Quoz Sprint
and Royal Ascot=s G1 King=s Stand S. at five, and earned his
second Group 1 score the following year at six when taking out
the King=s Stand. He posted two more Group 1 placings before
that season was outBin the Nunthorpe and Sha Tin=s
G1 Longines Hong Kong Sprint when second behind Japanese
Horse of the Year Lord Kanaloa (Jpn) (King Kamehameha {Jpn}).
Cont. p2
COMIN= THROUGH THE WET With a current track rating of Heavy 9, Saturday=s G1 Randwick
Guineas (1600m) will not only be a pointer to future carnival
success, but more so a race highlighting who can handle the
rain-sodden track conditions.
A field of 14 have accepted for the A$1-million contest, with
three of those having also accepted in the G1 Australian Guineas
which is run 20 minutes after in Melbourne. Which race those
three will contest is currently unknown, but connections of
G1 VRC Derby winner Prized Icon (Aus) (More Than Ready) have
indicated their colt is currently in Melbourne.
Chris Waller=s Comin= Through (Aus) (Fastnet Rock {Aus}), a
half-brother to top-class multiple Group 1 winner Criterion (NZ)
(Sebring {Aus}), will be ridden by Joao Moreira, and while the
colt is arguably one of the most inexperienced in the field with
only five runs under his belt, he does have wet form and his last
start third behind favoured runner Man From Uncle (Aus)
(Uncle Mo) should see him a leading contender. Cont. p5

Sprinting Veteran Sole Power Retired cont. from p1
Sole Power proved better than ever the following year at
seven, defending his King=s Stand title and winning the
Nunthorpe once again. After a handful of agonizing close
finishes, Sole Power at last got off the mark at the highest level
in Dubai in 2015, winning the G1 Al Quoz Sprint over Hong Kong
sprint star Peniaphobia (Ire) (Dandy Man {Ire}). The dark bay
went winless in eight tries last year but nonetheless acquitted
himself well running in Dubai, England and Ireland. Sole Power
made three starts at this year=s Dubai World Cup Carnival and
was last seen finishing sixth in the G3 Meydan Sprint on Feb. 16.
Sole Power won 12 of 65 starts and earned more than ,2-
million.
"I've never trained a more genuine, happier and sounder horse
than Sole Power,@ Lynam said. "I've been training since I was 21
and I'm 55 now. I was a nobody until he came around and he's
taken me to places I never felt were possible to go to.@
Lynam said Sole Power would spend a few months winding
down at his yard before departing for his retirement home.
"Putting him on the horsebox that one last time, that will be
the saddest day," the trainer said.
CHEVELEY SEASON IN FULL SWING David and Patricia Thompson=s Cheveley Park Stud has had a
busy start to the foaling season, with 26 of its mares having
foaled out in recent weeks. Those include a number of notable
bluebloods among its broodmare band.
Hypnotize (GB) (Machiavellian), the dam of G1 Cheveley Park
S. winner and champion 2-year-old filly Hooray (GB) (Invincible
Spirit {Ire}), produced a filly by Invincible Spirit=s son Mayson
(GB). Hypnotize will return to that Cheveley Park resident sire,
whose first crop is three this year.
Clinical (GB) (Motivator {GB}), whose son Lockheed (GB)
(Exceed and Excel {Aus}) finished third in last year=s G1 Goffs
Vincent O=Brien National S. for China Horse Club, foaled a filly by
Kingman on Feb. 22. Clinical will visit Kingman and Mayson=s sire
Invincible Spirit this year. Cont. p3

am fairly certain that France, the beach
and racing would run 3-4-5. So you can
only imagine how exciting it is to present
Jocelyn Targett’s whimsical tale about a
winter respite at Cagnes-sur-Mer, a race-
track in France. On the beach. With wine

to the birthday celebration for Man o’ War,
who turns 100 this month; introduce you to
McCracken, Kansas, population 190, which
is about to become famous for its Ken-
tucky Derby namesake and give 85-year-
old Janis Whitham the thrill of a lifetime;
show you what’s new in Dubai (it’s always
something!) and let Australian trainer Chris
Waller have the last word. Hint: we’re all
going to want that sleeping app of his…

Comin= Through The Wet cont. from p1
Speaking of the Anthony Cummings-trained Man From Uncle,
no runner comes into the race in better from. He has won his
two most recent starts at Group 3 and Group 2 level, and if the
gelding can handle the step up to 1600 metres and the heavy
conditions, he should play a part in the finish.
Splitting Man From Uncle and Comin= Through last time out in
the G2 Hobartville S. (1400m) was the three-time winner Echo
Effect (Aus) (Reset {Aus}). Likely to try and lead again, the main
concern for the gelding is how the track will play along the
inside and if the runners are coming wide down the home
straight, which could see him disadvantaged from barrier two.
With the progeny of Coolmore=s So You Think (NZ) really
hitting their straps during their Classic season, the Hawkes
Racing team will saddle up an undeniable chance in Inference
(Aus) (So You Think {NZ}), a colt capable of being the next Group
1 winner for his sire. Third behind Prized Icon (Aus) in the Derby
during the spring, the colt resumed with a pleasing fifth over
1400 metres and, with two wins from three starts on a soft
track, the Tommy Berry-ridden colt should be watched closely.

STEP UP IN TRIP KEY FOR CHAUTAUQUA Currently experiencing his longest-ever losing streak, having
gone winless since victory in Hong Kong=s G1 Chairman=s Sprint
in Hong Kong four starts back, Hawkes Racing=s Chautauqua
(Aus) (Encosta de Lago {Aus}) is stepping beyond 1200 metres
for the first time since a third to Horse of the Year Dissident
(Aus) (Sebring {Aus}) in the 2015 G1 All Aged S. The class runner
of Saturday=s G1 Canterbury BMW Stakes (1300m) field,
Chautauqua has two Group 1 victories at the track, but in the
small field of eight runners, Tommy Berry will need to be at his
best to ensure the gallant grey gets back to winning form.
Last start winners Le Romain (Aus) (Hard Spun) and Music
Magnate (NZ) (Written Tycoon {Aus}) are bound to improve
from their first-up stakes victories, and with wins at the track as
well as in heavy conditions, the Group 1-winning pair are bound
to prove more than competitive.
The weight-for-age scale sees the two 3-year-olds carry three
kilos less than the rest of the field, and having his first start for
the Gai Waterhouse and Adrian Bott stable is the G1 New
Zealand 2000 Guineas winner Ugo Foscolo (NZ) (Zacinto {GB}).
Beaten once from six starts, the former Stephen Marsh-trained
runner is now trained on the track and with a solid fifth behind
Group 1 winner English (Aus) (Encosta de Lago {Aus}) and a
seven-length victory at his two trials leading into the race, the
three-time stakes winner could be the surprise package.

Sacred Elixir | Racing And Sports
WIDE OPEN AUSTRALIAN GUINEAS As the second Guineas to be run on Saturday, a large field of
19 (including three emergencies) have accepted for the
A$750,000 contest at Flemington. History will need to be broken
if Divine Prophet (Aus) (Choisir {Aus}) is to be the first to
complete the Caulfield Guineas/Australian Guineas double, and
after a pleasing effort at weight for age in the G1 CF Orr S.
behind Black Heart Bart (Aus) (Blackfriars {Aus}) first-up, the
Dwayne Dunn-ridden colt importantly has proven form at the
distance.
Impressive last-start G3 CS Hayes S. winner Hey Doc (Aus)
(Duporth {Aus}), third behind Divine Prophet and Seaburge
(Aus) (Sebring {Aus}) in the Caulfield Guineas, looks to start as
one of the favourites, and with form at the distance and the
course, could give the Tony McEvoy-trained colt back-to-back
stakes victories.
Backing up after a narrow fourth last Saturday in the
G1 Futurity at weight for age behind Black Heart Bart, the Peter
and Paul Snowden-trained Attention (Aus) (Stratum {Aus})
needs only to show that he can handle the trip, a distance that
he has failed at once previously, to be right in the finish.
One of four last-start winners in the field, the Lindsay
Park-trained Fuhryk (Aus) (Star Witness {Aus}) was a scratching
at the barrier last Saturday. Although she steps up to 1600
metres having never raced past 1200 metres in her six starts,
her two-length victory in the G3 Kevin Hayes S. at her most
recent start highlights her ability. Another of the fillies in the
field who looks a chance is Harlow Gold (NZ) (Tavistock {NZ}), a
stablemate of Fuhryk. A winner over the trip last spring before
ending her campaign with a second in the G1 Crown Oaks, the
Regan Bayliss-ridden filly resumed with a very pleasing third in
the G3 Vanity S. over 1400 metres, and the extra 200 metres on
Saturday is clearly in her favour.
>ELIXIR= LOOKING FOR WINNING FORMULAby Heather Anderson
Tabbed the New Zealand champion juvenile last season on the
back of a victory in the G1 J.J. Atkins going 1600 metres at Eagle
Farm in June, Sacred Elixir (NZ) (Pour Moi {Ire}) was made the
$5 second favourite in Saturday=s 2400-metre NZ$1-million G1
Vodafone New Zealand Derby and, if he puts his best hoof
forward Saturday, could prove the main danger to $4.50
morning line pick Savile Row (NZ) (Makfi {GB}). It has largely
been a case of feast or famine for the son of G1 Epsom Derby
winner Pour Moi (Ire) who gains blinkers here, as he added two
more victories--in the G3 Caulfield Guineas Prelude upon
resuming Sept. 24 and in the G2 Super Vase S. upped to 2040m
at Moonee Valley two starts on Oct. 22. In between was an
eighth in the G1 Caulfield Guineas in early October and the
Raffles Racing colourbearer was an encouraging second in the
2500-metre G1 Victoria Derby at Flemington Oct. 29. Spelled for
three months, Sacred Elixir was beaten only 1 1/2 lengths into
fourth as the crowd=s pick in Ellerslie=s Listed NZB Insurance
Karaka 3yo Mile when short on fitness with G1SP Jon Snow (NZ)
(Iffraaj {GB}) one better Jan. 29. He ran up the field when
seventh, far behind on slow ground in late Derby nominee and
Saturday=s $7 third choice Gingernuts (NZ) (Iffraaj {GB})=s
G2 Avondale Guineas Feb. 18. Charles Road (Aus)
(Myboycharlie {Ire}) was the runner-up, with Mongolian Wolf
(Aus) (Pluck) completing the trifecta in that slowly run affair.
The sparsely raced Savile Row has only been a nose and a head
away from tasting Group 1 glory in his last two starts, the Levin
Classic at Trentham behind Hall of Fame (NZ) (Savabeel {Aus})
Jan. 14 and the Feb. 11 Herbie Dyke S. versus elders going 2000
metres at Te Rapa, respectively. Runner-up four starts ago to
Ugo Foscolo (NZ) (Zacinto {GB}) in the G1 New Zealand 2000
Guineas Nov. 5, Savile Row saluted in a Dec. 29 handicap at
Ellerslie prior to his additional Group 1 placings. Cont. p8

Levin Classic fifth-place finisher Wyndspelle (NZ) (Iffraaj {GB}),
who was also second in the G1 Sistema Diamond S. at two, was
one ahead of last out Feb. 18 handicap victor Excalibur (NZ)
(Tavistock {NZ}) that day, and could be peaking at the right time.
In receipt of a decent barrier in the G2 Waikato Guineas after
three poor draws, the bay colt found the 2000 metres to his
liking for a first black-type victory at Te Rapa Feb. 4. Otaki=s G3
Wellington S. hero Lincoln Blue (NZ) (Savabeel {Aus}) ran third
that day, one better than Cha Siu Bao (Aus) (Smart Missile
{Aus}).
Rising Red (NZ) (Redwood {GB}), who exited a 2100-metre
handicap with an impressive victory at Sandown Lakeside Feb.
22, is another intriguing prospect. The son of Redwood (GB) has
shipped across the Tasman from former Kiwi trainers Trent
Busuttin and Natalie Young=s base.
TARZINO TO WESTBURY STUD Tarzino (NZ) (Tavistock {NZ}), winner of the G1 Victoria Derby
and G1 Rosehill Guineas, will enter stud later this year at
Westbury Stud in New Zealand, according to
theinformant.co.nz. Tarzino will stand for NZ$15,000 for a
syndicate headed by Westbury and part-owner Rosemont Stud.
Trained by Mick Price, Tarzino won three of five starts during his
spring 3-year-old campaign, culminating in the Victoria Derby. In
the autumn he finished second, beaten a short head, in the
G1 Australian Guineas two weeks prior to his Rosehill Guineas
score, and he retires with four wins from 14 starts and earnings
of A$1,647,050.
AHe stood out in the Australian 3-year-old crop and that will
stand to him,@ Westbury General Manager Russell Warwick told
The Informant. AWe=ve seen it so much with Reliable Man where
breeders will support him and buyers will want his progeny
because they recognise the form, they appreciate it. He=s a
gorgeous type, which Mick Price, who is well known as a straight
shooter, says is the reason he was attracted to him in the first
place. He describes him as a replica of Zabeel--he has all those
characteristics that made him such a good galloper.@
DEBT COLLECTOR PREPS FOR DUBAIby Alan Carasso
Reigning Singapore Horse of the Year Debt Collector (NZ)
(Thorn Park {Aus}) tunes up for a prospective start in the US$6-
million G1 Dubai Turf Mar. 25 when he heads to the post for a
1600-metre >open stakes= at Kranji Racecourse Friday evening.
Trained by Cliff Brown for Glenn Whittenbury=s Barree Stable,
the 4-year-old dropped the first three starts of his career, but
has since rattled off eight straight wins, including the Kranji Mile
and the Raffles Cup (1800m) to close out a season for which he
was recognized as the champion of his generation and champion
miler in addition to horse of the year. Freshened up for this
preparation, the bay resumed with a cosy 1.3-length success
over 1400 metres Feb. 10 (video) and figures tough right back
from the inside barrier.
If there is to be an upset, it would likely come from the
progressive Jupiter Gold (Aus) (Congrats). The A$130,000 Magic
Millions Gold Coast yearling grad, five for eight in his career, is
using Friday=s race as a steppingstone to the final legs of the 3-
year-old series, the Singapore 3YO Classic (1400m) Apr. 14 and
the Singapore Guineas (1600m) May 14. Trainer Hideyuki
Takaoka harbours no delusions of grandeur that he can lower
Debt Collector=s colors, even with a significant pull in the
weights.
ALook, it=s Debt Collector, he=s a top-class horse. On ratings, he
is about 15 kilos higher than Jupiter Gold,@ the conditioner told
Michael Lee of the Singapore Turf Club. ASo, whether [the
weight difference] is seven or five kilos, or less, it=s still in his
favour, but it also gives us a bit of an advantage, a bit of a
fighting chance. To be honest, I=m not sure if seven kilos will be
enough to make up the difference as on paper, such ratings
don=t always show the actual difference in class on the tracks.
