GOOD MAGIC CONFIRMED FOR PREAKNESS YES, THEY SHOULD RAISE Stonestreet Stables and e Five Racing=s champion Good Magic THE SCALE OF WEIGHTS (Curlin), runner-up in the GI Kentucky Derby May 5, has been confirmed for a start in the GI Preakness S. next Saturday, trainer Chad Brown said Sunday. AThe horse has just been training very well since the Derby,@ Brown said. AHe bounced out of the race in great condition and I think he deserves a chance in the race. He=s doing great.@ While Brown--like most trainers--does not typically run horses back on two weeks= rest, he said the race is tough to pass on given the colt=s current fitness.

"I really don't have anything else planned for him before, say, either the GI Haskell Invitational or the GII Jim Dandy S. anyway.@ Cont. p6

Click or tap here to go straight to beefs they have, including the scale of weights, Belmont jockeys TDN Europe. demanded a meeting with NYRA executives Martin Panza and Chris Kay before they were willing to go out and ride in the first race Saturday. The result was a 37-minute delay before the first race was run. The last race, the GI Man o= War S., did not go off until 7:22. This might not have been the best way to handle things. Bettors and horsemen were put through an agonizingly long delay before the races started and NYRA might have been more open-minded and sympathetic if the jockeys had tried to have their problems addressed through more diplomatic methods. Then again, maybe the jockeys felt this was the only way they would be heard. AThe guys were all here, we needed to have a conversation with them, we called them before the races and the conversation went much longer than we anticipated,@ Jockey=s Guild Chairman and NYRA regular John Velazquez told the Daily Racing Form. AThere are lot of issues involved. We don=t have a contract. Obviously, with not having the contract and those issues not being resolved, they need to be addressed.

The Week in Review (cont. from p1) That number, 118 pounds, sounds more than reasonable and adding a few pounds to what horses are asked to carry can=t Nothing is more important than the safety of jockeys and possibly be that big of a deal. This should be done now. NYRA management certainly seems to agree. They=re not the bad guys here and based on the DRF report it appears that the Taylor Made, Harness Racing Powerhouse? meeting was a productive one that will move things forward. On Oct. 7, Duncan, Mark, Ben and the entire Taylor clan is Likely, things will happen, but not overnight. likely to spend the day at the racetrack in Lexington.

Lazarus is a pacer by the American-based sire Bettor=s Delight. A New Zealand newspaper estimated that the purchase price was $2.8 million. Here=s him winning the 2017 Victoria Cup. The reason the Red Mile races are so important is that Lexington harness track is considered the fastest in the sport and that=s where horses go to set world records. In the 2016 Allerage, Always B Miki paced the fastest mile in history, 1:46. The new Lazarus team has said it is out to beat that mark, which would do wonders for his stud value. Keeneland will also be racing Oct. 7. Yet, last week=s news was met with a heathy dose of skepticism by the harness racing media. The headline in a Harness Racing Update story read AHold off on the >Lazarus is the second coming= expectations in the U.S.@ The sub-head read: ARecent Down Under stars have not delivered on unrealistic projections.@ Others have weighed in with the same doubts. Some of the early ADown Under@ Standardbreds sent to the U.S. turned out to be sensational, most notably Cardigan Bay, who was the two-time aged pacer of the year in the U.S. in the sixties. But lately, several have not panned out. Most notable on that list is Auckland Reactor. He arrived here with a reputation not unlike the one Lazarus has and he raced in the U.S. three times in 2010, never hit the board and earned $2,560. Taylor Made took a gamble and Taylor Made doesn=t often lose. This one will be fun to watch.

Chad Brown on Two Weeks= Rest...Really? Chad Brown did the most un-Chad Brown thing when deciding Sunday that he would bring Good Magic (Curlin) back for the GI Preakness S. Brown epitomizes the typical modern trainer who rarely brings a horse back on short rest and prefers five or six weeks between races. But the few times Brown has run a horse right back he has done perfectly fine. According to Brisnet.com stats, since 2012, Brown has run 132 horses on three weeks= rest or less. (Brisnet does not list how many horses he has raced on two weeks= rest or less). He has won with 34 of those horse, or 25.7%. To give you an idea of how much he values giving a horse time between races, Brown has made 2,074 starts since 2012 where the horse has had between 31 to 90 days off.

Baffert versus Ben Jones Following Bob Baffert=s win in the GI Kentucky Derby with Justify (Scat Daddy), there was reason to debate last week whether or not he is the greatest AKentucky Derby@ trainer ever. TDN HEADLINE NEWS • PAGE 5 OF 9 • THETDN.COM MONDAY • MAY 14, 2018

Ben Jones (left) leads Iron Liege into the winner=s circle after winning the 1957 Kentucky Derby | Keeneland Library

Baffert now has five Derby wins, one less than Ben Jones. Baffert is 65 and should have many good years left in him. If he stays healthy, he will have an excellent chance of surpassing Jones=s record and becoming the winningest trainer in Derby history. That would be quite an accomplishment, but never underestimate what a great Derby trainer Jones was. Yes, it was a different era and, yes, he was the trainer for Calumet Farm, which was in its heyday the greatest racing stable in American racing history. But Jones won his six Derbies with 11 total starters. Baffert, with five wins, has started 29 horses in the race. Jones won his last Derby in 1952 at age 69, four years older than Baffert is now.

Gulfstream=s Handle Continues to Climb The Championship Meet at Gulfstream is over, which always used to mean racing would switch across town to Calder and the handle on South Florida racing would plummet. That=s no longer happening. Gulfstream=s betting numbers in April and May will never match what they are in January, February and March, but Gulfstream has somehow become a year-round force when it comes to wagering. Last week, Gulfstream announced that its handle was up 35% during the first months of its spring meet. It=s not just that Gulfstream=s handle is up, it is that it is crushing tracks you would never expect it to crush. At this time of year, Gulfstream has settled in as the third most wagered on Australian bred. Australian raised. Australian raced.
