That came only eight days ago, but such is the Ballydoyle trainer=s skill at getting his horses back from poor runs quickly it is almost an irrelevance. It is also worth remembering that five of the stable=s last six winners had been placed or worse at Epsom before taking the necessary step forward in this Classic. St Jovite provided Jim Bolger with an unforgettable day here 20 years ago, and the guru of Coolcullen covets another victory. The admirable Light Heavy (Ire) (Teofilo {Ire}) has his work cut out on the formbook, though. Neither his 2 1/2-length defeat of Call To Battle (Ire) (King=s Best) in the Apr. 15 G3 Ballysax S. nor his neck margin over Tower Rock (Ire) (Dylan Thomas {Ire}) in the May 13 G2 Derrinstown Stud Derby Trial--both staged 859-873-7270 • www.airdriestud.com over 10 furlongs at Leopardstown--are strong enough performances to suggest that he will shake up Camelot. AWe=re just not sure about the trip in the soft ground,@ What he does have in his favor is an aptitude for battle, Cosgrove told PA Sport. AWe=ll make a final decision and it is impossible to rule out how much improvement tomorrow morning. The thing is we don=t want to mess him up long-term by running him on really bad ground, so Bolger can eke out at this trip. AHe=d prefer better ground, we ll just have to see. I=m sure, but I=d imagine that will be the case with most = @ The Curragh s manager Paul Hensey is expecting a of them,@ Bolger told PA Sport.

  • 4 6 KEENELAND Fall 2012
    46 KEENELAND FALL 2012 Country LIFE By Alexandra Beckstett | Photos by Lee Thomas Settling at Shawnee Farm Allows Sally and Watts Humphrey to Indulge Their Passion for Horses Full-Time eorge Watts Humphrey Jr. has an im- measurable love for horses. He heads G several successful companies and serves on numerous boards, but at 68 there’s nowhere he’d rather be than at the track watch- ing a horse train or in the foaling barn while his next potential stakes winner takes its first breath. KEENELAND FALL 2012 47 Country LIFE “As a girl, I used to pray I would marry someone who loved horses as much as I did. But I married someone who loves horses more than me.” – Sally Humphrey And while the congenial Humphrey and his wife, Sally, are well known among Thoroughbred enthusiasts as breeders of the 1980 Kentucky Derby winner Genuine Risk, 1985 Belmont Stakes winner Crème Fraiche, and other champions, Watts will be the first to say ”Every horse is special.” Like most breeders, Humphrey’s end goal is to produce and race high-caliber horses, but watching his homebreds trans- form from foals to athletes is one of his biggest thrills. “We love to be there when they foal, and we love to see them develop,” he said. As a third-generation horseman, Humphrey has Thorough- breds in his blood. Sally, on the other hand, cultivated her equine interest by joining the 4-H club and attending The Orme School, a 26,000-acre working ranch in central Arizona, growing up. “As a girl, I used to pray I would marry someone who loved Watts Humphrey enjoys all aspects of breeding and raising horses as much as I did.

  • History of the Ormonde
    WELCOME TO THE ORMONDE GUESTHOUSE THE ORMONDE GUESTHOUSE HISTORY Former Railway Tavern public house, later renamed as the Ormonde tavern. Late 19th, early 20th century. Two storey, 3 bay semi symmetrical arrangement with projecting terminal end bays, timber framed gables to projecting bays. Slate roof, 1st floor timber framed. Ground floor Ruabon brick with stone dressings to window heads, cheeks and cills, casement windows with leaded transome lights. This building is now the Ormonde Hotel. "Ormonde" (1883–1904) was an English Thoroughbred racehorse, an unbeaten Triple Crown winner, generally considered to be one of the greatest racehorses ever. He also won the Champion Stakes and the Hardwicke Stakes twice. At the time he was often labeled as the 'horse of the century'. Ormonde was trained at Kingsclere by John Porter for the 1st Duke of Westminster. His regular jockeys were Fred Archer (who features on the sign outside the hotel in the correct colours) and Tom Cannon. After retiring from racing he suffered fertility problems, but still sired Orme, who won the Eclipse Stakes twice. It has been suggested that "Ormonde's" sire was the model for "Silver Blaze" in the Sherlock Holmes story of the same name, first published 1892. In the same way, "Colonel Ross" in the story is said to be based on one of the Grosvenors - the first Duke of Westminster. Eaton Stud bred "Ormonde" with Fred Archer up. Fred Archer (1857-86) had 21 Classic winners and was Champion Jockey 13 of his 17 years, before tragically committing suicide in 1886. To keep his weight down for racing he used "Archer's mixture", a powerful laxitive made up by Dr J.

  • Gloaming by Kathleen Jones
    Gloaming by Kathleen Jones Throughout the history of Thoroughbred racing there are many exceptional horses who have been held as examples of heroes whose names would live forever. We call them legends. But somehow, over time, the details of their successes have grown foggy until eventually the memory of these once-legendary animals lives only in the rarely-touched paper leaves of libraries. One horse in particular who deserves a better fate than anonymity is an Australian-bred gelding named Gloaming. At a time when Americans were celebrating the exploits of Man o'War and Exterminator, Australian and New Zealand race fans were going crazy for Gloaming. He won from 4 furlongs to a mile and half, setting time records at any distance. At one point his streak of victories had reached nineteen in a row. From ages 3 to 9 he began in 67 races, and won 57 of those. He was 2nd on nine other occasions. The one race in which he failed to run either first or second was a race at age 3 in which he fell. Gloaming was entirely of British descent, and was inbred 4x4 to Two Thousand Guineas runner-up, Sterling. He also carried duplications of Bend Or, Galopin, and Rosebery in his pedigree. The racing season of 1918/1919 in Australia and New Zealand got off to a slow start owing to an outbreak of influenza which necessitated the closing of several race meetings. So Gloaming's first start was a 9f prep stakes for the AJC Derby. He won his debut by 8 lengths then followed up with a new time record in the Australian Derby.
