Mo= Power As Outwork Avoids Wood Boilover SUNDAY, APRIL 10, 2016 >CAUSE= FOR DERBY SUCCESS >MO= POWER AS OUTWORK The Dale Romans-trained Dullahan (Even the Score) made AVOIDS WOOD BOILOVER some history in 2011, winning that year=s GI Toyota Blue Grass after scoring in the GI Breeders= Futurity the previous fall. It was deja vu all over again on a crisp early spring afternoon Saturday, as Brody=s Cause (Giant=s Causeway) repeated the feat with an off-the-pace victory. Cont. p5 THAT WAS A BIG RUN, NO EXAGGERATION Runner-up to champion Nyquist (Uncle Mo) on his seasonal debut in the GII San Vicente S. over seven furlongs, Exaggerator (Curlin) was at least a little disappointing when failing to build on that effort behind Danzing Candy (Twirling Candy) in the GII San Felipe S. Mar. 12. There were no such missteps Saturday, as the dark bay came with a prolonged run for a visually impressive 6 1/4-length tally in the GI Santa Anita Derby. Cont. p6 Outwork outlasts Trojan Nation in the Wood | Adam Coglianese ANOTHER MULLINS CONQUERS AINTREE by Alan Carasso 19-year-old David Mullins wins the Aintree Grand National on his first ride in the race. The runaway and record-setting freshman sire of 2015, Click or tap here to go straight to TDN Europe. Coolmore=s Uncle Mo is already set to be represented in the GI Kentucky Derby by ante-post favorite and reigning Eclipse Award-winning juvenile Nyquist and is likely to have another sneaky contender in the form of the enigmatic and oft-unlucky Mo Tom and potentially even the maiden Laoban. Outwork, campaigned by Uncle Mo=s charismatic owner Mike Repole, will provide the stallion with yet another live chance on the first Saturday in May following a tough-as-nails defeat of 81-1 Trojan Nation (Street Cry {Ire}) in Saturday=s GI Wood Memorial S. at a very soggy Aqueduct Racetrack. Adventist (Any Given Saturday) outfinished Matt King Coal (Cool Coal Man) for third. Exactly five years ago, Uncle Mo was the razor-thin favorite in this very race and carried the lead into the final eighth of a mile before weakening to finish third. Saturday's win was sweet redemption for Repole and company. "To come back here five years later, with a son of Uncle Mo... that was one of my toughest racing days, and this is one of my best racing days,@ he said. AMy little daughter is nine months old, she won her first Grade I, it took me 42 years. She's brought me some pretty good luck.@ Cont. p2 Rick Porter and Mike Repole for trusting WinStar with your G1 WINNERS. SONGBIRD Santa Anita Oaks (G1) Freshened at WinStar after her Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies (G1) win and championship 2-year-old season. Congratulations to Rick Porter and Jerry Hollendorfer, and good luck in the Kentucky Oaks (G1). OUTWORK Wood Memorial (G1) Raised and trained at WinStar before and after his 2-year-old season.

With Zulu (Bernardini) off to Keeneland for Saturday=s Blue Grass, having skipped a rematch with Mohaymen (Tapit) in the GI Xpressbet.com Florida Derby, it was up to Outwork to try to give the Todd Pletcher stable is fourth Wood victory in the last seven years. Wood Memorial cont. Outwork ran to 3-5 favoritism to become Uncle Mo=s very first winner and in front of the country=s biggest breeders at Keeneland, scampering home to score by 2 1/2 lengths last Apr. 23. The homebred colt got the rest of the season off, owing to what connections called some Ajuvenile issues,@ and accompanied his stablemate Destin (Giant=s Causeway) on a van ride north to Tampa Bay to make his seasonal debut in a six- furlong allowance Feb. 13 exactly one hour after Destin took out the GIII Sam F. Davis S. in fine fashion. A generous 9-5 against eight apparently outclassed rivals, Outwork sat up on a decent pace and finished up nicely for a 4 1/4-length success that would set him up for a return trip to Oldsmar exactly four weeks later. The 4-1 third choice--behind favored Brody=s Cause (Giant=s Mike Repole and his nine-month old daughter bask in the afterglow of Causeway) and Destin--while making his first start around two Outwork=s win in the Wood | Sarah K Andrew photo HEADLINE NEWS $ PAGE 4 OF 21 $ THETDN.COM SUNDAY $ APRIL 10, 2016 Wood Memorial S. cont. Drawn widest in this field of eight, Outwork was away in good order and showed his typical speed, but Matt King Coal (Cool Coal Man), pinballed around between horses a few strides out of the gate, pressed through underneath and headed them off midway around the first turn. Shagaf, last-out winner of the GIII Gotham S., was also not the swiftest away and was guided down to the inside to race in the latter half of the field early on. Matt King Coal led them past the 3/4-mile marker, but had to work hard to do so, as the first quarter went up in :22.91 over a track that deteriorated throughout the program. Outwork remained glued to Matt King Coal=s flank through a half in a demanding :46.93, and the two had it between them, but Shagaf began to pinch good ground with a sharp middle move, only to get stopped in his tracks behind Tale of S=avall (Tale of Ekati) with three-eighths of a mile to race. The favorite was gifted a run at the inside when Tale of S=avall was shifted out into the four path and looked as if he would make a race of it. Outwork poked his head in front of Matt King Coal at the head of the lane, but faced a challenge up the fence from the maiden Trojan Nation, who was ridden quietly throughout by journeyman Aaron Gryder and rallied unmolested into the lane. Try as he might, Trojan Nation could not quite get to Outwork as Adventist flew home down the center of the track for third. AI got him away from him [Matt King Coal] to relax and then at the quarter pole he put his ears up, idled a lot,@ said winning 2--Trojan Nation, 123, c, 3, Street Cry (Ire)--Storm Song, by jockey John Velazquez, who chose Outwork over Zulu.

Le champion français Douvan (Walk in the Park) a remporté son septième Gr1 à l’occasion du Maghull Novices’Chase (Gr1), samedi à Aintree. Le tout en seule - ment un an, ce qui situe sa classe. Une nouvelle fois, le sauteur de Rich Ricci a été très agréable à voir évoluer. Impeccable dans ses sauts, il a pisté Alisier d’Ir - lande (Kapgarde), dans une action très déliée qui lui permet d’accélérer sans faire d’efforts superflus. Il est simplement parti de loin à l’open ditch qui précède les tri - bunes. Cela a été la seule petite frayeur qu’il nous a donnée. Le reste du parcours a été une simple formalité pour Douvan. Dans le tournant final, profitant d’une faute d’Alisier d’Irlande, il a pris seul l’avantage. Entre les deux derniers fences, il s’est détaché de lui-même.

  • Welcome to the April 2015 Edition of the Donn Mcclean Racing Newsletter
    Welcome to the April 2015 edition of the Donn McClean Racing newsletter. Looking ahead It’s all about the Aintree Grand National now. Final declarations were made this morning, and all 40 runners stood their ground. We're all set. There is usually a story behind every Grand National winner, behind every Grand National contender, but there could be no better story this year than the one that victory for Shutthefrontdoor and AP McCoy would tell. The champ, riding in his last Grand National, in what would be his last race if he happened to win it. That would be the story of stories. Of course, there are other stories lurking. Like the Pineau De Re story, bidding to become the first back-to-back winner since Red Rum. Or the Lord Windermere or Spring Heeled story, both trying to win for Jim Culloty the trainer, 13 years after Bindaree won for Jim Culloty the rider. Or the First Lieutenant story, Mouse Morris' horse set to be ridden by Nina Carberry. Never before has a female rider won the Grand National. Well, Katie Walsh won the Irish National on Monday, so why not? Here are five things that you might keep in mind as you are searching for the Grand National winner: No seven-year-old has won the National since Bogskar in 1940, and none has finished placed in the race since 1971. That makes it difficult for Cause Of Causes and Unioniste. Bindaree in 2002 is the last eight-year-old to win it, and he was only the third eight-year-old since Red Rum won his first in 1973.
