A GODOLPHIN PARTY IN UAE GUINEAS No one had Thursday’s G3 UAE 2000 Guineas handi-capped any better than trainer Saeed bin Suroor, whosaddled three sophomore colts for Godolphin. The1600-meter event was to feature the return to action ofdual Grade I winner Vineyard Haven (Lido Palace {Chi}),

making his first start forSheikh Mohammed’soperation and first sinceannexing the GI Cham-pagne S. last October.Bin Suroor was anythingbut ebullient about theformer Bobby Frankelinmate pre-race, statingflatly that Vineyard Ha-ven had failed to impress

in his morning work and suggesting he might be in needof the run. His words proved prescient, as in-formDesert Party (Street Cry {Ire}) followed in the footstepsof his sire--the 2001 Guineas hero--scoring by a con-vincing 4 3/4 lengths.

Undefeated in the Desert... Conditioned in the U.S. by Eoin Harty, Desert Partydebuted victoriously over the Arlington Polytrack June 22, then successfully transferred his form to aconventional dirt surface, defeating three rivals, includ-ing Vineyard Haven, in the GII Sanford S. in theSaratoga mud July 24. The bay appeared next in theSept. 1 GI Hopeful S. at the Spa, but the race was

essentially lost at thestart, when the colt stum-bled, was bumped andpinched back and weak-ened to finish sixth. Givena bit of a breather, heresumed training in lateNovember with threebreezes at Keeneland priorto his arrival in Dubai. Hecame from just off thepace to outfinish RegalRansom by 3/4 of a

length in the Jan. 22 conditions test. The pick ofFrankie Dettori among the three Godolphin hopefuls,Desert Party broke well and settle in behind the pace-setting Redding Colliery (Mineshaft), as Vineyard Ha-ven, never looking completely comfortable over thestrip, was trapped out three wide, but not far away.The pacesetter led into the stretch tracked by RegalRansom, while Desert Party looked a bit flat-footed fora few strides while blocked a bit approaching thequarter-mile marker. But asked for his best effort byDettori shortly thereafter, Desert Party raced past aone-paced Vineyard Haven, took aim on Regal Ransominside the final furlong and pulled well clear. The firsttwo home were both purchased out of last year’s Fasig-Tipton Calder sale. “We knew he had come out of hislast race very well and improved from that run,” binSuroor said of Desert Party. “This extra distance wasnever going to be a concern and, all being well, he willbe [G2] UAE Derby bound,” he added, referring to the$2-million test on the Dubai World Cup undercard. It isuncertain whether Desert Party would take in the ListedAl Bastakiya, a course-and-distance prep for the Derbyon Super Thursday Mar. 5. That event is set to attractSheikh Mohammed’s reigning American two-year-oldchamp and GI Breeders’ Cup Juvenile hero Midshipman(Unbridled’s Song).Click for the Racing Post chart or the video replay.

Break Water Edison Breezes at Gulfstream... J “TDN Rising Star” J Break Water Edison (LemonDrop Kid) tuned up for the GII Fasig-Tipton Fountain ofYouth S. Feb. 28 by breezing five-eighths in 1:00 yes-terday at Gulfstream. Eli Gindi’s colt, an impressive

winner of the GIII Nashua S.in his juvenile finale, had arough trip when sixth and lastin his 2009 opener, the GIIHutcheson S. Jan. 30. “Be-sides the bad performance,everything has gone fine,”reported trainer John Kimmel.“He looks well. He’s trainedwell. He just didn’t run well. Ithought today’s breeze was

great.” Break Water Edison, working in company withFreedom Bay (Forestry), was ridden by former jockeyGeorge Martens. Kimmel caught the colt in :23 1/5 forhis final quarter. “I really liked the last quarter,” saidKimmel. “He even had to go wide at one point becausethe two of them came up on another horse, andGeorgie had to take him pretty well out there on thetrack.” The conditioner is chalking up the Hutchesondisappointment to the colt’s inside post. “Every timehe’s drawn inside he hasn’t run really well,” saidKimmel. “Georgie used to gallop Lemon Drop Kid, andhe said he was always an inconsistent horse until theyput blinkers on him and he hated to be down inside. If Idrew the rail again I’d have to look at other options.”The Fountain of Youth will mark the bay’s first attemptat two turns. The pace scenario should be prettygood,” said Kimmel. “The main thing I want to see inthis race is for him to keep his focus, finish up and staytuned to what we’re trying to do.”

dled’s Song) squarely ontarget for Monday’s$250,000 Southwest S.“He’s ready to go, heacted like there was noth-ing to it,” said a smilingJones. “He came back tothe barn and barely wasblowing and didn’t drinkbut a gallon of water.When it is work time, he’sready, but after that it’snaptime. Naptime is leave-

me-alone time for Old Fashioned.” The conditionerreflected on his trek to Hot Springs from New Orleans.“Old Fashioned is a neat horse. It’s hard not to lovehim, bringing him up here from Fair Grounds it was justme and him, it was bonding time. It was like I will focuson you, and you will focus on me.” Old Fashioned willbe a prohibitive favorite in the Southwest and comes inundefeated in three starts, including the GII Remsen S.in November.

I have seen numerous foals from Survivalist’s

first crop and they are so impressive,

that I booked a mare of my own to him.

Shug McGaughey and Bill Harrigan had told

me what a truly talented racehorse he was,

so the decision was an easy one.

If Survivalist’s first foals are any indication,

Park Stud is sitting on something really special.

KENTUCKY VLT BILL PASSES COMMITTEEWITH INCREASE IN LICENSE FEES A bill thatwould allow racetracks in the commonwealth of Ken-tucky to operate video lottery terminals unanimouslypassed the Kentucky House Licensing and OccupationsCommittee on Thursday, but has also been revised tosignificantly increase the license fees tracks would haveto pay for the privilege of being able to conduct casinogambling. Sponsored by Speaker of the House GregStumbo (D-Prestonsburg), HP 158 would grant the rightto operate VLTs to state’s eight existing racetracks anda potential ninth licensed racino. The bill initially re-quired a flat licensing fee of $25,000, but tracks wouldnow have to pay a much steeper price following criti-cism from House Speaker Pro Tem Larry Clark (D-Louis-ville), who believed the initial fee was too low. Follow-ing Thursday’s revisions, Turfway Park would have topay $125 million, Churchill Downs $100 million, Ken-tucky Downs $75 million and Ellis Park $50 million. TheRed Mile, a harness track in Lexington, and Keenelandwould jointly owe $100 million. Harness tracks PlayersBluegrass Downs and Thunder Ridge Raceway wouldhave to pay $35 million and $25 million, respectively.Stumbo is not confident the bill will pass both cham-bers of the General Assembly before the session ends.The state’s constitution requires the bicameral body tomeet for 30 days and conclude its session no later thanMarch 30 during odd-numbered years. “At this time, onthis day, I doubt [HP 158] has enough support to passthis chamber,” Stumbo told the radio station WFPL.“That may change.” The state’s economic impact re-port estimates HP 158, if passed, would generate $676million in annual net terminal income.

Task Forces Report to RMTC Board: At a Feb. 6 meeting in Las Vegas, representatives ofthe Racing Medication and Testing Consortuim receivedimportant updates from their Scientific Advisory Com-mittee and Drug Testing Initiatives Task Force. Dr. RickSams, an advisor to the RMTC, presented on anabolicsteroid administration studies recently completed at theUniversity of Florida and funded by RMTC. The informa-tion collected will assist the RMTC in recommendingplasma threshholds for inclusion in the RMTC-recom-mended model rule on anabolic steroids, which hasbeen adopted in 35 of the 38 states which conductpari-mutuel horseracing. Accurate withdrawal times willbe provided to horsemen and veterinarians based onthose plasma threshholds. “The magnitude of this studyis without precedent in equine drug testing anywhere inthe world,” said RMTC research consultant Dr. BillMuir. “The scientists involved are to be commended fordeveloping analytic procedures and methods that areapplicable to trained horses in racing condition.Theyhave set the qualitative and quantitative standard re-garding the testing procedures, experimental design andanalytical techniques used for the identification of ana-bolic steroids in racehorses.” The RMTC also heardfrom the Drug Initiatives Task Force on issues rangingfrom laboratory standards to sample collection andfrozen sample retrospective testing strategies. “Theamount of work that our Drug Testing Initiatives TaskForce has accomplished since its inception in Septem-ber is truly remarkable,” said RMTC Executive DirectorDr. Scot Waterman. “There is a tremendous amount ofexcitement that we are on the path toward changingdrug testing for the better in this country. We are ap-preciative of the efforts of the task force members andthe sponsorship of The Jockey Club in this endeavor.”
