‘RACHEL’, ‘BIRD’ GALLOP AT CHURCHILL Rachel Alexandra (Medaglia d=Oro), who last Saturdaybecame the first filly in 85 years to beat the boys in theGI Preakness S., returned to the track yesterday morn-ing at Churchill Downs for a routine gallop. It was herfirst trip to the track since her one-length score overMine That Bird (Birdstone) in the second leg of theTriple Crown. Owned by Jess Jackson=s Stonestreet

Stables and HaroldMcCormick, RachelAlexandra is scheduled tostand in the starting gatebefore galloping this morn-ing, meaning she will hit thetrack at about 7:15 a.m. Sheusually goes out with trainerSteve Asmussen=s secondset at 6:15 a.m. Mine ThatBird galloped 1 1/2 miles inhis second trip to the tracksince his effort at Pimlico,which won over many racingaficionados. Exercise riderCharlie Figeuroa was in theirons as the gelding com-

pleted his work with good energy. AThe horse is justdoing super--he=s on his game,@ commented trainerBennie AChip@ Woolley Jr. AWe=re really surprised thathe=s as fresh as he is after two good, hard races. Thefortunate thing for us is he only runs three-eighths of amile, so he doesn=t use himself as hard as a lot ofhorses. So we=re pretty happy where we=re at.@ Woolleysees a change even relative to his Tuesday gallop.AToday he was really froggy out there, wanting to buckand play,@ the conditioner explained. AAnd that=s kind ofunlike him, because he=s more of a laid-back kind ofhorse.@ Woolley said that Mine That Bird would workearly next week, and also said that a decision on ajockey for the Belmont would be deferred to next weekas well. Calvin Borel rode Mine That Bird to his GI Ken-tucky Derby upset, but was aboard Rachel Alexandra inthe Preakness. Mike Smith, who rode the SovereignAward winner last weekend, has a prior commitmentJune 6 which will preclude his participation in theBelmont.

RECHARGE TO REKINDLE MEMORIES When Lady Chryss O=Reilly=s homebred Recharge (Ire)(Cape Cross {Ire}) goes to the gate for Saturday=sG1 Irish 2000 Guineas at The Curragh, it will rekindle

Classic memories for his ownerand also for trainer KevinPrendergast. The partnershipteamed up to send out Re-charge=s dam, Rebelline (Ire)(Robellino), to contest the fillies=equivalent contest in 2001,where she finished fifth to Imag-ine (Ire) (Sadler=s Wells).Rebelline concluded her careerwith a win in the 2002G1 Tattersalls Gold Cup, again atThe Curragh, to complete a fullhouse of victories at every stakeslevel. Purchased by the BritishBloodstock Agency as a foal for28,000gns at Tattersalls= 1998

December Sale, Rebelline was reoffered at Goffs inOctober the following year, and the thread to thisyear=s first Irish Classic began when she was knockeddown to Lady O=Reilly=s Castlemartin Stud forIr,68,000.Feature Presentation cont. p2

ClassicCorner P N E W S T O D A Y P

Mirroring Rebelline=s early career, Recharge shed hismaiden status in his first attempt at Killarney last Au-gust before suffering defeat behind subsequent G1 2000 Guineas winner Sea the Stars (Ire) (CapeCross {Ire}) when fourth on his stakes debut in theSept. 28 G2 Beresford S. at The Curragh. Rebellineincurred her stakes defeat in the Listed Eyrefield S. atLeopardstown. Both dam and son returned in theirsophomore year to claim victory in a LeopardstownGuineas trial and, in Recharge=s case, it was theMar. 29 G3 Leopardstown 2000 Guineas Trial last time.AObviously, I=m hoping he can win and he has as good achance as any,@ commented Prendergast. AHe hasbeaten the winner of the [G1] Dewhurst S. [IntenseFocus] and he was only just chinned in the Beresford S.last year. The winner of that went on and won theGuineas, but I=m just hoping the ground stays dry. He isa smart horse and, in time, I=d say a mile and a half willbe no problem for him. We=ll get the Guineas out of theway first, but he won well at Leopardstown and is ingood shape.@

GHANAATI ON CORONATION TRAIL Connections of the G1 1000 Guineas winnerGhanaati (Giant=s Causeway) were yesterday lookingahead to the June 19 G1 Coronation S. after ruling outa tilt at the June 5 G1 Epsom Oaks. With the 1 1/2-mileClassic now off the agenda, the Shadwell homebredwill be heading to Royal Ascot for the one-mile contest.AI saw her last night and she looks fabulous--good inher skin and coat,@ Sheikh Hamdan bin Rashid AlMaktoum=s Racing Manager Angus Gold commented.AThey haven=t done anything in particular with her;she=s just been cantering every day and she=s put backall her weight. Barry [Hills] and the team are very happywith her, so we=ll just hopefully progress her towardsRoyal Ascot. I think Sheikh Hamdan felt he wouldrather stay at a mile for the moment than step straightup to a mile and a half. I have no doubt in my mind--and I know Barry doesn=t--that she will definitely get amile and a quarter and maybe further, but she had theclass and speed to win a Guineas, so we thought we=dtry a mile one more time in the summer fillies= champi-onship and see what happens afterwards.@

CONDUIT BACK AT SANDOWN Conduit (Ire)(Dalakhani {Ire}) is due to make his comeback in nextFriday=s G3 Brigadier Gerard S. at Sandown, trainer Sir

Michael Stoute announced yes-terday. Last year=s GI Breeders=Cup Turf and G1 St Leger win-ner is set to carry a seven-poundpenalty in the extended 10-fur-long contest. AWe have eightdays to go, but all being wellConduit will run in the BrigadierGerard S.,@ Stoute told the Rac-ing Post. Owned and bred byBallymacoll Stud, Conduit wasrunner-up in the G2 King EdwardVII S. at Royal Ascot last Junebefore taking the G3 Gordon S.at Goodwood July 29. His three-

length score at Doncaster last September was a preludeto his smashing victory in the Breeders= Cup, whichpropelled the chestnut to an Eclipse Award as the lead-ing turf horse in the U.S. in 2008.

ASK HEADS TO CUP Patrick Fahey=s Ask (GB)(Sadler=s Wells) was yesterday reported on course forEpsom=s G1 Coronation Cup following his success inFriday=s G2 Yorkshire Cup. One of 18 remaining entriesin the ,225,000 June 5 contest after the latest forfeitstage, the impressive six-length winner of York=s 14-furlong contest will attempt to provide trainer SirMichael Stoute a fifth renewal. AThe Coronation Cup isdefinitely the plan for Ask,@ Fahey=s Racing ManagerSimon Christian commented. AHe has come out of hisvictory at York in great form, and it was nice to win aGroup 2 race with him. I think the ground suited himbetter than some of his rivals at York, but he doesn=t goon extremes like the fast ground he encountered twicelast summer at Ascot. He certainly coped with thegood-to-soft going last week. It was nice to start himoff with an easy race. The owner and the trainer take itone step at a time, and we are concentrating on Epsombefore eying any targets later in the season.@

Charitable Man Confirmed for Belmont... William K. Warren=s Charitable Man (Lemon DropKid), last-out winner of the GII Peter Pan S. May 9, is aconfirmed starter in the GI Belmont S. June 6. AI spokewith Mr. Warren this afternoon, and we=re running,@said trainer Kiaran McLaughlin. AThe pros outweighedthe cons, and there were very few cons. I have nothingbut respect for Rachel Alexandra (Medaglia d=Oro), ifshe comes, and Mine That Bird (Birdstone), but Charita-ble Man is doing great. He=s bred to go a mile and ahalf, he=s two-for-two on the track, and he=s a freshhorse.@ Charitable Man=s other success at Big Sandycame in the GII Futurity S. last September. In otherBelmont news, WinStar Farm=s Mr. Hot Stuff (Tiznow),considered a possible starter in the race, breezed a half-mile in a steady :49.80 over the Keeneland Polytrackyesterday morning.

COCKED HAT S.-Listed

Alwaary, winner over a mile at Yarmouth in Septem-ber, was last seen finishing a non-threatening fourth inthe G3 Lingfield Derby Trial 11 days ago. Benefittingfrom that outing, the Shadwell homebred cruised intocontention after the final turn and was in completecontrol after hitting the front with a furlong remaining.AThis horse showed a fair bit last year and we werethinking of running him in the Dewhurst, but he justhurt himself, so [trainer] John [Gosden] and his staffleft him alone,@ Sheikh Hamdan bin Rashid AlMaktoum=s Racing Manager Angus Gold commented.AJohn said he wasn=t thriving physically or mentally inthe spring, and he had turned around after he ran himthe other day. That race woke him up and brought himon, and he=s obviously got a bit of buzz in him. I=m surehe will go farther, and we=ll speak to Sheikh Hamdanand see if he wants to go for the [June 6] G1 EpsomDerby, but, personally, I think he may be a horse to goto Royal Ascot for the [June 19] G2 King Edward VII S.and take it step by step. The kinder we are to him now,the more he will repay later, hopefully.@ Video, courtesyRacing UK. Click for Racing Post chart.
