Thursday, August 14, 2008 7 Special – Continued from page 6 a gate-to-wire 3 1/4-length win. Wheeled back in the Grade III Kentucky Stakes May 1, Run Away And Hide again proved an easy winner, stalking in second and drawing off to a 2 1/2-length score over talented filly Garden District, who returned to take the Grade III Debutante Stakes in her next start. Run Away And Hide is out of the Runaway Groom mare Jilted, who won once from four starts earlier this decade for Riordan and Kirk. As talented as she was fragile, Jilted was retired in 2003 after suffering an injury. Riordan also owns her dam, Likeashotabrandi, but with Jilted having only a maiden win to her credit, a solid pedigree will only get you so far at public auction. “Jilted didn’t have any black type and though she has a decent pedigree it’s not very commercial. Last winter we decided to enter her dam Likeashotabrandi, who we also own, in a Fasig-Tipton sale in Lexington. She would have sold for about $3,000,” Riordan said. “About a week before the sale we got some good re- ports from Dave Scanlon down in Florida about Run Away And Hide, so we decided to keep Likeashota- Tod Marks brandi for one more year to see what happens.

We thought going in he would run well but I had watched a few of the others train and thought there were some nice colts in there,” Harty said. “He showed a nice burst of speed and beat a good bunch of horses in a very contentious race. It was a big field that day too, so that should give him a little extra seasoning for this start. These Speightstown’s have really come out running all over the globe and I think he’s going to be the leading freshman sire.” With Desert Party aiming for the Sanford, Harty opted to give Reynal- dothewizard a bit more time.

10 Thursday, August 14, 2008 Spotlight on UK Racing by Timeform & Racing UK Thursday, August 14th, SANDOWN Race 3 (10:25 am) Class 3 Handicap (3yo & up Rated 71-90) 7f; Purse $30,000 DDoonn’’tt mmiissss tthhee BBeesstt RACE ANALYSIS (In Program Number Order) 1 BINANTI: Put up a good effort over course and distance on his second start this term and isn’t badly handicapped on his best form. He’s run poorly on his last three starts, however, ooff BBrriittiisshh RRaacciinngg and there has been little indication that he’s set to take advantage of his falling handicap rating. The small stable has had just two individual winners all season. Timeform Rating: ? Every Wednesday through Saturday morning at Bunbury’s Pub in the Saratoga Backyard 2 MOUNT HADLEY: Showed useful form when winning a minor event at Nad Al Sheba last year First post approximately 9:00 AM ~ Afternoon cards begin from 12:30 PM and there was some encouragement when behind in Listed company on his reappearance. Possibly amiss next time, but the drop back to 7f should be in his favor and he could be treat yourself to a cold pint and a good bet

worth another chance. 99 Salisbury Splendor Summer Festival 3 SOUTHANDWEST : Has been well below form since posting a career best effort in a handicap August 13 - August 14 ~ featuring the Gr3 Sovereign Stakes at Newcastle in May, looking ungenuine to boot (markedly so when ﬁtted with sheepskin cheekpieces last time). Best watched judged on recent performances. 97 Newbury Ladies’ Day Extravaganza August 15 - August 16 ~ featuring the Gr2 Hungerford Stakes 4 SALIENT: 2lb lower in the weights than when winning a 1m handicap at Goodwood in June, so he’s well treated on his best form, but he has just the one creditable effort in four starts York Ebor Festival since. He wasn’t helped by racing wide last time, but he also looked moody then. 102 August 20 - August 22 ~ featuring the Gr1 Yorkshire Oaks, Gr1 Nunthorpe and eight top class stakes 5 SIGNOR PELTRO: Yet to get off mark this year but has been out of the frame only once and is holding his form well. Was left with plenty to do when a respectable fourth at Pontefract last Sandown Park time, though he again carried his head awkwardly. Needs to ﬁnd his very best form if he’s to Sandown Park August 29 - August 30 ~ featuring the Gr3 Solario Stakes plus plenty of win this, but has a realistic chance racing off 1 lb lower than last winning mark. 99 early action leading into Sunset Friday 6 KEEP DISCOVERING: Finished a good second at Ascot on his penultimate start, then raced too freely at Goodwood on his latest. Remains in good heart, but he looks in grip of handicapper at present. 96

7 DINGAAN: A useful handicapper who is gradually returning to top form, being placed on his last four starts. He has a relatively modest strike rate, possibly due to temperament, but he looks the one to beat and should be rewarded for his consistency sooner or later. 100

8 MUMBLESWERVE: Has come back from serious injury in good shape and has produced a number of excellent efforts in defeat since winning a maiden at Great Leighs on his reappearance. The least exposed of these, and he might just be capable of a bit more improvement, but 1m looks his optimum trip. 99

9 ESENIN: Looked well and truly on downgrade when last seen in 2003 and it’s completely impossible to make a case for him after 1096 days off the track. -§

CONCLUSION A poor race for the money. Both Dingaan and SIGNOR PELTRO have been running creditably without threatening to trouble the judge and it would be no surprise were the winner to come

from the pair. Preference is narrowly for the latter who has both course and distance form to his name and has shaped well on his last two outings. Mount Hadley has run well over this trip in the past and has place claims.

RACE ANALYSIS (In Program Number Order) Thursday, August 14th, SALISBURY Race 5 has improved with all bar one of his last six runs. Further 1 ELUSIVE WARNING: Won twice at Aqueduct in 2007, then progress would make him difficult to beat. 135 showed smart form over the winter in Dubai, winning the (11:15 am) Toteswinger Sovereign Stakes Gr3 Burj Nahaar and finishing second in the Gr1 Godolphin Gr3 (3yo & up) 1m; Purse $130,000 7 WISE DENNIS: In good form at around 1m early in the Mile. Disappointed when sixth of seven in the Gr2 Summer 4 METROPOLITAN MAN: Without a win in over two years, year in Dubai. Disappointed on his first British start in Mile at Ascot on his British debut, and looks the stable’s but had been relatively consistent before a disappointing Listed contest at Newbury last time, but given that was second string today. Timeform Rating: 127 run in the Gr3 Diomed at Epsom in June, where he finished his first run over 10f he may be worth another chance. A last of eight. Second to Third Set, beaten half-a-length, in six-year-old has yet to win this race. 128 2 CALDRA: Formerly a smart juvenile but has failed to Listed Zabeel Mile at Nad Al Sheba in February. 129 recapture that form over the past couple of seasons, a 8 DUNTULM: - SCRATCHED - useful fourth of seven here on his reappearance last year 5 ORDNANCE ROW: Produced best form when second in 9 MOUNT PLEASURE: Fifth in 2007 Coventry Stakes at Royal his best effort.

Finished fifth in the Buckingham Palace Stakes at may not quite be good enough to win this. 127 Royal Ascot and followed that with a lifetime best, winning 10 REDFORD: Has improved this year, showing his best when the International Stakes (Handicap) at the same course 6 THIRD SET: Hasn’t been seen on the track since the winning a handicap at Newcastle in June. Left with a lot to on his latest start.

Was a progressive International Stakes (Handicap) on his latest outing. More below-form run so any further rain would be a worry. 132 handicapper last year, winning both the International Stakes will be needed to win at this level. 127 at Ascot and the Totesport Mile at Glorious Goodwood and 11 REDOLENT: A front-runner who looks to have benefited for the application of cheekpieces. Smart form on his last The choice of experts for British and Irish racing two, winning a Listed event at Sandown in May and then beaten a length in the Gr3 Grosser Preis der Wirtschaft at Dortmund in June. He is respected. 125

CONCLUSION Godolphin has taken two renewals of this race since it was upgraded to Gr3 in 2004 and could be set for a third success Timeform racing publications are available to download from with THIRD SET who is the clear pick on form and has been prepared with this race in mind. Laa Rayb is thriving and may brisnet.com and youbet.com. For further insights and analysis have even more to offer but he wouldn’t want the ground to get also visit www.timeform.com any softer. The same can’t be said for Redolent, who’d be a danger to all were the rain to continue falling.
