Maxilead Ltd=s July 9 G2 Superlative S. winner and Sept. 10 G2 Champagne S. runner-up had beaten only one home in the G1 Dewhurst S. at Newmarket 12 days ago, and the signs are that he is not ready for a trip to Churchill Downs. ARed Duke has started to show all the signs of a horse who is feeling the effects of a long year,@ Quinn explained. AHe has been very quiet since running slightly below-par at Newmarket, where we didn=t feel he ran to his best for one reason or another. It would be unfair of me to take the colt and his owners half way around the world to run when I feel he may not be up to performing to his best. It is for this reason I=ve decided it best to rest him now for the winter and look towards a 3-year-old campaign in the UK and abroad. I=m sure he will come back as good as ever and repay our faith in him.@ www.facebook.com/thoroughbreddailynews TDN P HEADLINE NEWS • 10/20/11 • PAGE 2 of 7 • thoroughbreddailynews.com Jockeys Whip Strike cont. Kevin Darley continued, Had we been properly consulted over some of the important details that relate directly to jockeys prior to that announcement, we feel that we would not be in the position we are today. Jockeys have no issues with the restricted amount of times they can use the whip under the new rules. The careers of jockeys are short by definition, and the implications of financial penalties and long suspensions are savagely disproportionate.@ Breeders= Cup Notes cont.

There were some tough horses in there last year.@ Overseas Runner for Team Valor in Marathon Team Valor International's Brigantin (Cozzene), last seen dead-heating for third in the 2 1/2-mile G1 Qatar Prix du Cadran at Longchamp Oct. 2, is being pointed toward the GII Breeders= Cup Marathon at Churchill Downs Nov. 5.
