IT'S AN INSTANT BREAKOUT THANKS TO CATHOLIC BOY, THOMAS NO LONGER RACING'S BEST KEPT SECRET FOR UNCAPTURED by Bill Finley He was a valued and respected assistant to Todd Pletcher and was hired by Bridlewood Farm as their trainer, which gives him access to their first-class facility in Florida to train not only their horse but those for outside clients. Jonathan Thomas, just 38, has been busy building the groundwork for a top stable, one that some day could rival that of the premier trainers in the country. What he needed was a marquee horse to put him on the map. That's no longer a problem. Catholic Boy (More Than Ready) is coming off a win in the $1.2-million GI Belmont Derby, has won stakes on both the dirt and grass and has proven to be among the gamest horses in the sport. His next assignment will likely come in the Aug. 25 GI Travers S., where he could be the second choice behind Good Magic (Curlin) and where a win would only further raise Thomas's profile.

But if Goldencents has edged into a midsummer lead in the freshman sires' table, by winners and prize money, in other respects it is Uncaptured (Lion Heart) who leads the way at Ocala Stud in Florida. Four of his nine starters have won. Of these, two have promptly added a stakes success--and one of those is the only one of the crop so far to win a graded race. That was Catherinethegreat, who earned the first black type of the Saratoga summer in the 100th running of the GIII Schuylerville S. Previously a 10 1/4 length maiden winner at Gulfstream, here she blazed an opening quarter of :21.78 before cruising four lengths clear in 1:09.98. Catherinethegreat duly vindicated her status, at $170,000, as the most expensive of the 19 yearlings (from 23 offered) whose $47,880 average and $40,000 median--against a covering fee of $6,000--both qualified Uncaptured as the leading freshman outside Kentucky at the sales last year. She was bought by trainer Mark Casse for John Oxley, just like Uncaptured himself, before they made him Canada's first juvenile Horse of the Year in a generation.

They are beautiful. They are really nice-looking horses. For a first year sire, “they are quite impressive, which is probably why Fasig-Tipton had so many.

It=s an Instant Breakout for Uncaptured Her son would become one of five GSW among the final (cont. from p1) American foals of Lion Heart. In fact, Uncaptured would win six Casse bought Uncaptured for $290,000 at the Keeneland of seven starts at two, graduating from three black-type races September Sale of 2011, in turn making him the priciest on the synthetic at Woodbine to win the GIII Iroquois S. and the member of the final U.S. crop sired by Lion Heart (Tale Of The GII Kentucky Jockey Club S. on dirt at Churchill Downs. Cat) before his export to Turkey. Lion Heart, an unbeaten Grade I winner at two, had proceeded to finish runner-up in the GI Kentucky Derby--pluckily holding off all bar Smarty Jones (Elusive Quality) after throwing down the gauntlet from the front--and to win the GI Haskell Invitational. He offered breeders class, soundness and lovely motion. But not height. And his stock had only been allowed two seasons on the track before a package deal, also including Dehere (Deputy Minister) and Powerscourt (Sadler's Wells), was agreed between the Turkish Jockey Club and Ashford Stud. The timing of Lion Heart's exit could not have been much worse; or better, I guess, depending which side of the deal you stood. In 2010, their sire's first year in Turkey, Kantharos won the GII Saratoga Special S. by seven lengths in an unbeaten juvenile season; Dangerous Midge, a slow-maturing member of his first crop, won the GI Breeders' Cup Turf as a 4-year-old; Line Of David beat subsequent Kentucky Derby winner Super Saver (Maria's Mon) in the GI Arkansas Derby; and, at Bill Graham's Windhaven Farm in Ontario, an Arch mare named Captivating David O=Farrell| Photos by Z delivered a colt Mar. 19.

Those wins had the look of a Kentucky Derby reconnaissance, but he proved unable to rise from relative shallows at three when his finest moment instead brought domestic prestige, in the Prince of Wales S. (second leg of the Canadian Triple Crown). And though back on an upward curve when beaten barely half a length by Palace Malice (Curlin) in the GII Gulfstream Park H. the following spring, he came out with an injury and that was him done. Still, he retired as a good-looking millionaire and those guys are seldom short of company in the Florida winter. His arrival at Ocala Stud in 2015--Oxley retaining a good stake-- gave its clients an alternative to Kantharos, another son of Lion Heart who would soon be packing his bags for Kentucky after finishing seventh in the national rookie standings with seven black-type performers from 32 starters (moved to Hill 'n' Dale last year).

Florida breeders took their cue, sending Uncaptured no fewer than 137 mares in his first season, 108 for his second and 140 last year. That made him the busiest sire in the state but he has entertained even more this time round: a bumper 173, in fact. That extraordinary fourth book shows how Uncaptured has overcome the usual inclination to "wait and see" a sire's first runners. His debut at the 2-year-old sales can only have helped: of 31 hips, he shifted 28 at an average $114,500 and median $93,500--capped off by a $350,000 filly at OBS April. These are knockout returns for a $6,000 regional cover. "Really, there has been a huge buzz about the horse since day one; since the day we brought him to the farm," said Ocala Stud manager David O'Farrell. "He was very well received by breeders locally--he's a beautiful individual--and the momentum started building from the time his first foals hit the ground. "With the majority of stallions, especially in the regional marketplace, historically you do tend to see a blip in those third and fourth years. But you can see from the size of his third and fourth books the confidence he has been giving breeders." TDN HEADLINE NEWS • PAGE 5 OF 10 • THETDN.COM TUESDAY • AUGUST 14, 2018

Uncaptured appears an impressive specimen, evidently bigger and scopier than his sire. Just as important, however, is what Casse described as the "mind of steel" he brought to training and racing. Sure enough, already in midwinter his foals were being credited with an obliging disposition by major 2-year-old consignors. And then his very first starter won her debut as favorite over 4 1/2 furlongs at Gulfstream in April. Next came Capture Your Dream, whose training for a small barn (smart work, Anna Varsi) was such that she was heavily backed against a Pletcher favorite for a maiden over the same track. She exploded through a :21.7 opening quarter and won by 10 1/2 lengths. Oxley promptly bought Capture Your Dream from owner/breeder Kathy Machesky--the filly is, after all, out of a half-sister to the dams of two others who punched above their weight in Ron The Greek (Full Mandate) and Musket Man (Yonaguska)--and moved the filly to Casse's Palm Meadows barn. Last Saturday she became her sire's second stakes winner in the $100,000 FTBOA Florida Sire S. So what's happening here? The parallels with Kantharos plainly speak well of the stud who launched them both, and Uncaptured can only have profited from his former studmate's example. "There's no question Uncaptured stands on his own merit, but Kantharos certainly gave people confidence," O'Farrell said. "They'll have had his success in the back of their minds when they first came to look at Uncaptured. O=Farrell continued, AKantharos is proving versatile too, and "But if you stood them up side by side, though they're both that gives you reason to believe they can both go a long way. good-looking sons of Lion Heart, you would see that Kantharos While a lot of commercial breeders rely on dirt horses, there's and Uncaptured are very different horses. Kantharos is a definitely a move towards the turf: I really think racing is making racehorse sire: he produced a high volume of runners. You can something of a paradigm shift in that way." see the Arch in Uncaptured. He is just a gorgeous horse. Captivating, herself unplaced in two starts, is a half-sister to a "It's always important to have a horse that can come to hand number of multiple winners including a smart one in Gold Star quickly, that can develop at two.

Cont. p6 TDN HEADLINE NEWS • PAGE 6 OF 10 • THETDN.COM TUESDAY • AUGUST 14, 2018

Stratus did manage to break a track record--over a mile and a half on turf at Atlantic City. He features here as a result of Taylor pairing him with the dam of Canadian champion older horse Giboulee, Victory Chant-herself bred from two foundation stones of the whole Windfields empire, Victoria Park and Orchestra. In some respects Victoria Park was a pathfinder for Northern Dancer, his Preakness and Kentucky Derby podiums emboldening Taylor that a Canadian-bred horse could take on the Bluegrass bluebloods in their own backyard. Since Taylor also bred Storm Bird, whose sireline extends through Lion Heart, he holds together both top and bottom lines for Uncaptured. So this story links polar points of the North American Turf, in Ontario and Ocala. For a long time its only link to the northeast was through Uncaptured's barn nickname, "Whitey Bulger"--for a notorious Boston crime boss who spent 16 years on the run (i.e. uncaptured) from the F.B.I.

The timing of the Travers is very good. If there's something we don't like we can always adjust, but it's worth at least investigating." Catholic Boy remains the only stakes winner Thomas has ever trained, but it's not hard to envision his career taking off. Catholic Boy has given him exposure, new owners are starting to take notice and he shares many of the same traits that made Pletcher a star. Like his mentor, he's polished, professional and ambitious. Does he see himself someday having a stable that rivals Pletcher's? "I think as long as we can do a great job and do what's best for our clients and our horses, I'd certainly be willing to head in that direction." he said. "As long as we're doing a quality job." He has a long way to go, but he certainly seems to have the tools to succeed and now he's got a horse everyone is paying attention to. The Travers will be a big race not just for Catholic Boy but for his trainer.

GOLDEN GIRLS Following last week's Wrap, I realise I may be in danger of being labelled a rampant feminist, but I'm afraid I'm about to beat the drum for the women again. Let's start with the Dubai Duty Free Shergar Cup, a weird and wonderful anomaly to the racing programme thanks to its team format, but one which apparently grows in popularity each year An Oasis Dream half-brother to G1 Irish Oaks heroine Sea of Class (Ire) and features among its four teams one restricted solely to (Sea The Stars {Ire}) (above) is offered as lot 404 from the Jamie female jockeys.

AThe catalogue for last year=s October Book 1 was outstanding and the 2018 renewal looks to be equally special,@ said Tattersalls Chairman Edmond Mahony. AThere are a huge number of own or half-brothers and sisters to group and listed winners in the catalogue, but equally impressive is that 130 of the yearlings are out of group and listed winning mares, including many of the truly outstanding racemares of our time, and a further 76 are out of group and listed placed mares. Graduates of the October Yearling Sale have as ever enjoyed enormous success on the global stage headed by 65,000 guineas G1 Irish Derby winner Latrobe (Ire) (Camelot {GB}), and the enormously popular ,25,000 Tattersalls October Book 1 Bonus will again ensure that buyers have the chance to win unprecedented prize money by purchasing at Europe=s premier yearling sale.@

He is now standing as a stallion at his birthplace and is currently represented by his first crop of runners. Following two group winners in Cheveley Park's own colours at Glorious Goodwood, the stud has enjoyed more reflected glory this weekend via Advertise (GB), who broke the Irish stronghold on the G1 Keeneland Phoenix S. to become the first British-trained winner of the juvenile contest in 21 years.
