RACETRACK ROUND-UP Europeans Join Mott Roster... Juddmonte's Group 1 winners Mutual Trust (GB) (Cacique {Ire}) and Announce (GB) (Selkirk) have been transferred from Andre Fabre to Bill Mott, according to Racing Post. Mutual Trust, who bagged the June 12 G3 Prix Paul de Moussac and July 3 G1 Prix Jean Prat at Chantilly, shipped Stateside in September after running 10th in the Aug. 15 G1 Prix Jacques Le Marois at Deauville. Twice a winner at the Group 3 level, Announce registered a career high when annexing the Aug. 21 G1 Prix Jean Romanet at Deauville, and was denied by a pixel when runner-up in the Oct. 2 G1 Prix de l'Opera at Longchamp. She was scratched from the Breeders' Cup meet after colliding with an equine ambulance. Other ex-Europeans to bolster Mott's Payson Park winter team include four-time listed winner Principal Role (Empire Maker), recent GI Hollywood Derby fourth Slumber (GB) (Cacique {Ire}) and MSP Imperial Pippin (Empire Maker). "They're great horses to get," Mott told the trade daily. "They're not used up, they are usually sent with some gas left in the tank, and you know they are already graded-stakes quality. The challenge is to get a Grade I win over here, particularly with some of those who just missed out over there.@ The Hall of Fame horseman added, AMutual Trust came over in September and we were hoping to run him in the fall, but he got a little virus. We didn't run him, but he's doing well now. We might try to give him a run at the current Gulfstream meeting and then look at the [GI] Kilroe Mile at Santa Anita. Announce might run later on at Gulfstream, but I think the other fillies will need time to acclimate, so they won't run probably until April."

All horses in the TDN are bred in North America, unless otherwise indicated P TDN HEADLINE NEWS • 12/23/11 • PAGE 3 of 3 • thoroughbreddailynews.com
