"Full credit to Blake and full credit to Happy Clapper, he is a great horse," Bowman told TDN AusNZ post-race. "It was WINX REIGNS SUPREME IN obvious to me that there was only one real opponent because all of Chris' other horses, as good as they are, they need more CHIPPING NORTON distance to compete at this level. Happy Clapper is a miler, his record here at Randwick is incredible and full credit to Blake but this horse, well, I say she is once-in-a-generation, but she might be once in history." Despite Shinn's daring tactics and the fact he had to ride Winx differently to keep pace through the middle sections of the mile, Bowman said he had remained supremely confident in the run. "I like to ride Winx where she is comfortable and I had to take her comfort zone to keep touch with Blake as he increased the pace from the 1000m mark, but I've got the horse to do it. I've done it before." Bowman recalled the thrilling 2017 G2 Chelmsford Stakes win when he ran down tearaway front-runner Red Excitement (Excites). "I had to ask her for an effort at the corner that day but she knows her job now," he said. "I know that once we balanced up she was going to have what it took, I must have to admit, if I was Winx and Hugh Bowman take the Chipping Norton on any other horse I would have given up hope, but she is just an amazing athlete."

"I know the race racing when trying to pinch a runaway win against Winx (Street hasn't been run at Randwick too often but I'll be surprised if Cry {Ire}) in the G1 Chipping Norton Stakes. they go quicker than that for a long time." Happy Clapper had raced Winx nine times and finished second If all goes to plan, Winx runs next in the G1 George Ryder in to her three times so it was going to take something out of the three weeks ahead of a likely career swan-song in the G1 Queen bag to deny the mighty mare a 31st consecutive win, what Elizabeth Stakes two weeks later and Waller said the fact his would be a world record 23rd G1 victory and record-equalling 7-year-old was given a proper test was a blessing. fourth win in the race. "Under pressure she is very good and that was a good test, it Riding the only horse not trained by Chris Waller in the seven will bring her on for her next few runs," he said. "They need horse field, Shinn sprung his first surprise by leading on the stimulating, and we can't do that at home, they need to do that 8-year-old before trying to take the race away from Winx under race conditions to get that final bit of race fitness into through some solid middle sectionals. them so it's looking good for three weeks time, and three weeks It might have been enough to sap the finishing sprint from after that for the grand final." most horses but Hugh Bowman and Winx simply stalked the leader like a lion creeping up on its prey and pounced with blistering final sectionals.

REDEMPTION FOR CODE JELTRIN SHOCKS IN DAVONA DALE; CHAMPION JAYWALK FOURTH OF HONOR IN FOY With all eyes on returning champion Jaywalk (Cross Traffic), it was 51-1 longshot Jeltrin (Tapizar) who came flying late to just nip pacesetting Cookie Dough (Brethren) on the line in the GII Davona Dale S. at Gulfstream Park Saturday. Heavily favored Jaywalk tired to fourth after pressing the pace in her first race since winning the GI Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies last November. Jeltrin chased in third in the early stages as Cookie Dough set the pace through fractions of :24.21 and :47.41 with Jaywalk a menacing presence to her outside. Jaywalk looked poised to make her move turning for home, but quickly threw in the towel as Cookie Dough scampered clear into the lane. Jeltrin, who loomed a threat with a three-wide run on the far turn, rallied resolutely down the lane to reel in Cookie Dough in the shadow of the wire. Cont. p4 Code of Honor (green silks) prevails in Fountain of Youth Adam Coglianese Photo by Brian DiDonato IN TDN EUROPE TODAY Code of Honor (Noble Mission {GB}) had seen his stock fall a GLOBAL COMMODITIES AT ARGENTINEAN SALE bit since a fast-finishing second in last October’s GI Champagne Arqana hopes to draw an international audience to its new S., but he got back on an upward trajectory Saturday, rallying to Argentinean yearling sale on Mar. 21. Click or tap here to go annex a strong renewal of Gulfstream’s GII Xpressbet.com straight to TDN Europe. Fountain of Youth S. A debut winner--somewhat surprisingly in a dirt sprint--at Saratoga last August, the W. S. Farish homebred was a popular pick for the GI Breeders’ Cup Juvenile after his eye-catching rally in the Champagne. He was ruled out of that race after developing a fever that morning, however, and subsequently bypassed a planned start in Aqueduct’s GII Remsen S. later in November. When he did return, Code of Honor was a dull fourth at 4-5 in the one-mile Mucho Macho Man S. Jan. 5. He’d fired several bullets at Payson Park since that outing, but was let go at 9-1 as the money poured in on highly regarded maiden romper and ‘TDN Rising Star’ Hidden Scroll (Hard Spun). Scraping paint into the first turn after breaking from the rail, Code of Honor sat in a far-back fifth down the backside as Hidden Scroll zipped out to post very fast fractions of :22.80 and :45.69. The chalk seemed to be running on fumes as fellow ‘Rising Star’ Global Campaign (Curlin) chased him around the home bend, and Code of Honor began to take closer order while traveling sweetly under Hall of Famer John Velazquez. GIII Nashua S. winner Vekoma (Candy Ride {Arg}) also mounted a bid, and well-regarded Bourbon War (Tapit) started to come alive from far back.

Holy Helena hadn’t visited the winner’s circle since she took last May’s GII Sheepshead Bay S. at Belmont, but the millionaire returned to winning ways while defending her title in this event over longshot Ickymasho (GB).

HOW STEVE YOUNG FOUND THE BARGAIN Young wasn’t thinking about the Kentucky Derby or some day cashing in on selling part of the then 2-year-old when he first OF THE YEAR came across Soldado at the Timonium sale. But, he did believe he had found a horse that slipped through the cracks. The first thing Young noticed was that Soldado had sold for $80,000 a year earlier at the Fasig-Tipton Kentucky Turf Showcase Yearling Sale. He marked him down as one to watch and liked what he saw when he worked. “He didn’t have that fast of a breeze, but I loved the way he did it and the way he ran around the turn and showed his mechanics and athletic ability,” Young said. The colt’s breeze went in :10 3/5.

He’s a well-bred 3-year-old colt, won his debut easily and could prove to be any kind of horse. Then why did he only cost $8,000? Steve Young, the bloodstock agent and owner who bought the colt at the 2018 Fasig-Tipton Midlantic 2-Year-Olds in Training Sale, has his theories, but he’s more focused on the future than the past.

I don’t know what other Soldado made his debut Feb. 2 and won a six-furlong people saw, but that’s what he had.

The consignor did not put a reserve on the horse and when the VERRAZANO COLT LOOKS TO REMAIN PERFECT hammer fell, the bidding had stalled at $8,000 and Young had a new Verrazano colt as part of his team. “With the way he breezed, if he would have vetted, he probably would have been a top six horse at that sale and was he going to bring five times what he cost as a baby,” Young said. Young had vets repair the problems that apparently discouraged other buyers and then sent the horse to WinStar Farm to recuperate. When he was ready, he was sent to Pletcher’s division at Palm Beach Downs. Young said he knew he had a good horse, but maybe not how good. “Every day has been a good day since he arrived at Palm Beach Downs,” Young said. “I think I can speak for all of us that I thought he was very good going into his first race, but he was even better than I thought he was.
