>MOON= CONTINUES BARRY WEISBORD: ONE LAST LETTER FROM THE PUBLISHER >RISE= IN REBEL Over 30 years ago, I got involved in the daily information business. To help facilitate more trading of stallion shares and seasons on Matchmaker, we started to provide European stakes results on our closed-end computer system delivered over modems. When Matchmaker ended, we kept the slightly expanded daily information going by subscription, and delivered by a new technology--the fax machine--calling our offering Daily News. I partnered first with Dick Broadbent and the weekly Thoroughbred Times, and then Peter Brant and the Thoroughbred Record. When the ACRS ended, and I was looking for my next project, I bought out Peter and shortly thereafter moved the TDN to New Jersey where Sue Finley had joined my team during ACRS and decided to stay on. It was 1993, and neither of us had much idea of our future. Cont. p3

Off as the clear second choice at 3-1, Magnum Moon broke well and put a head in front crossing the wire for the first time before deferring the early lead and sitting a three-deep third. He began to ratchet up the pressure through a :47.15 half, and was into second as Solomini started to get going up the fence. Magnum Moon took over from pacesetting Title Ready (More Than Ready) at the quarter pole, and with Solomini trapped behind that one, he was able to get the jump. Solomini struggled a bit with his lead changes once taken off the fence, and Magnum Moon tried to get out a bit himself, but there was no catching the latter as he strode out nicely to the wire three in front. AWe're just going to relish this victory and take one [win] at a time,@ said Robert Low, who owns Magnum Moon with wife Lawana. AWe'll just see how he comes back. [Rider] Luis [Saez], [trainer] Todd [Pletcher], the whole team did a fantastic job and we're just so proud to be associated with this horse.@ The victory marked back-to-back Rebel wins for Pletcher.

SLIPPER FAVOURITE STAYS PERFECT TEAL TIPPING BIG THINGS A week out from the G1 Golden Slipper, the world=s richest FOR STABLE STAR 2-year-old race, the top two betting choices were both on display over course and distance at Rosehill on Saturday and each came away with another win under its girth. First up was the Magic Millions 2YO Classic winner and Slipper favourite Sunlight (Aus) (Zoustar {Aus}), who ran her record to a perfect five with a win in the G3 Magic Night S. for trainer Tony McEvoy. Jumping on top, the $1.35 favourite was hassled early by Setsuna (Aus) (Choisir {Aus}), but drew clear to best Godolphin=s Cristobal (Aus) (Exceed and Excel {Aus}) by 1 1/4 lengths under mostly hand urging (video). Sunlight now goes into the Slipper off the same week backup that she used into the Magic Millions. AShe was good today,@ jockey Luke Currie told Racing NSW. AShe was really quick early. Even a little bit keen so hopefully that run takes the edge off her for next week. She did need it because she was getting tired late. On that back up last time in the Magic Millions, she was happy to come back off that leader Tip Two Win | racingfotos.com when it went with her.@ Cont. in Worldwide News p8

By Tom Peacock Suffice to say that the Qipco 2000 Guineas did not immediately spring to mind when Roger Teal first set eyes upon Tip Two Win (GB) (Dark Angel {Ire}). The small May foal, a first to be bred as something of an afterthought by Surrey-based owner Anne Cowley, has taken all those associated with him by surprise in winning four times and accumulating almost ,200,000 in prize money through several lucrative trips to Qatar. AWe picked him up unbroken and he looked like a Welsh mountain pony when we got him,@ Teal chuckles at the memory. ACovered in mud, a little hairball he was. I said to my wife there was no way back then you would imagine this would have happened.@ Sunlight and Luke Currie | Bronwen Healy Cowley, who has owned numerous horses including listed winner and G3 Sovereign S.-placed The Rectifier (Langfuhr), is a self-confessed novice in the bloodstock world.

That latest victory, in the Al Biddah Mile at the Emir=s Sword Festival in Doha in late February, encouraged Teal to consider the Guineas. While the trainer, a former assistant to Philip Mitchell, has only around 20 horses at Shefford Valley Stables in Berkshire, he has caused the odd upset in his time through the likes of dual Meydan and G3 Darley S. winner Steele Tango (Okawango).

Despite Anne Cowley this, I did watch it with as much intensity as I would the flat season. I still got emotional when Bridget Andrews won her first race at the festival and the ensuing celebrations from the Skelton team; I marveled at the impressive performances of Shattered Love, Laurina and Samcro among others, I lamented the fall that set Ruby Walsh back--but why? The couple both worked in the electrical engineering sector and Anne continues to maintain some financial interests in America, one mission requiring her to watch Tip Two Win=s first Qatar success over a mobile phone in a Burger King car park.

No stories were bigger, though, than those that surrounded the horses who made a date with the Gold Cup. Whether it was Edwulf, who the year previous had collapsed on the course and made a huge winning comeback at Leopardstown in February; Might Bite, whose trainer had already taken two of the crowns at the festival or that of Native River, trained by Colin Tizzard, who had to contend with the possibility that Cue Card might be facing retirement.
