Much as his stable=s commandant Highland Reel (Ire) had as a THE PENTAGON JOINS juvenile, The Pentagon blew his cover wide open with his maiden success, which represented a bound forward from his ESTEEMED COMPANY distant debut sixth behind >TDN Rising Star= Verbal Dexterity (Ire) (Vocalised) over this trip at The Curragh on June 10. Few buttons were pressed in the interim, so his 8 1/2-length defeat of the useful-looking yardstick Medal of Honour (GB) (Lope de Vega {Ire}) under Ana O=Brien back at the same course and distance was an exhibition of embryonic class and prompted his promotion to Ballydoyle nominee for this in the space of just 12 days. Provided with an ample pace regulator in Berkeley Square (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) throughout the early stages, the bay son of the 2005 G1 Prix Saint-Alary heroine Vadawina sat third tracking a bona fide target in Theobald, who carried no less pressure as the Bolger representative. Soon after turning for home, the favourite took time to gather together as Berkeley Square began to pose a threat from within and it took four reminders from Ryan Moore=s whip for The Pentagon to close the deal.

This is a contest that has continued to showcase Coolmore=s world superpower, with five of the next nine winners also by the pre-eminent sire of his generation and all going on to succeed at the top level with the likes of Rip Van Winkle (Ire), Cape Blanco (Ire), Gleneagles (Ire) and Churchill (Ire) reaping several prizes in that sphere. Where >TDN Rising Star= The Pentagon (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) will eventually sit among such esteemed company is the stuff of forecast, but this performance at least underlined that he is a quality colt towards the elite of those seen out so far in 2017. His outstanding pedigree suggests that what he has already achieved is a perk, as everything in that regard points to the future, but the best ones always show a glimpse of what is to come through their crude ability at two.

The Southern California-based equine enterprise of John and Jerry Amerman has a list of enviable accomplishments since branching off from Team Valor, and its forerunner Clover Racing (with which they had been invested since 1987), in 1995. The high-end operation has struck with about 17% of its lifetime starters, earned 23 Grade/Group I victories, struck gold while selling at auction and acquired two Breeders= Cup trophies on racing=s biggest day. Their success has been so fluid, it almost seems like child=s play--which is appropriate considering John is the former CEO of Mattel Toys--but the prosperity of the Amermans in their racing ventures has been much more calculated than such a surface-level impression. Through 30 years of thoughtful planning, well-advised decisions and no small amount of patience, they have reached the highest levels of a humbling sport and show no signs of breaking stride.

ANIMAL KINGDOM COLT TOPS BARRETTS PADDOCK SALE by Jessica Martini A 2-year-old colt by Animal Kingdom was one of three offerings to bring six figures when he topped Wednesday=s Barretts Paddock Sale at Del Mar with a final bid of $180,000. Consigned by Bruno De Berdt=s Excel Bloodstock, the colt was purchased by Steve Gasparelli. In all, 13 horses sold in the Del Mar paddock Wednesday for a total of $686,000, an average of $52,769 and a median of $33,000. Last year, eight horses changed hands for $302,000.

Barretts cont. From the first North American crop of GI Kentucky Derby winner Animal Kingdom, hip 35 is out of multiple graded stakes placed Alyssum (Storm Cat). His second dam is champion Althea (Alydar). De Berdt purchased the colt for $90,000 at last year=s Keeneland September Yearling Sale and had originally planned to offer the youngster at the Barretts March sale. AWe let our babies tell us when they are ready,@ De Berdt said. AAnd this particular colt went through a growth spurt. He was a beautiful yearling and then in January, he was an ugly duckling. But he was training really well, so we brought him out to the March sale and he was still at a very awkward stage. He prepped really well for us, but I still thought there was a lot more in him. I thought he was a little immature, so rather than push him, we decided to give him the time he needed. We gave him six weeks off.@

Hip 35 | Barretts photo The chestnut came into the Paddock sale with three published works at San Luis Rey. During Monday=s under-tack preview of the auction, he worked three furlongs in :34.20. AWe got in a series of works, which he did very well for us, and then he worked very nicely for us at the preview,@ De Berdt said. AMore importantly, he developed. It was amazing the change in that colt from March until now. He was a completely different horse. He grew a lot, he came into himself. He did what I was hoping he would do.@ The sale topper was one of seven 2-year-olds to sell Wednesday for a gross of $571,000 and an average of $81,571. All three horses to bring six figures at the sale were juveniles. In addition to the sale topper, Duck and Cover (Run Away and Hide) (hip 34) brought $140,000 from B.B.A. Ireland. Consigned by American Sales and Racing, agent for Imagine, the half-sister to multiple Grade I winner Melatonin (Kodiak Kowboy) was purchased by Imagine for $18,000 at the 2016 Keeneland January sale. Cont. p10 All too often, preserving history has been an afterthought in America. Histor- ical landmarks are demolished to make way for modernization and progress. But look around at the towns and cities that have worked hard to preserve histo- ry—Colonial Williamsburg, Boston and Mackinaw Island come to mind—and you’ll find that doing so has proven to be a boon to tourism. No racing town does that better—nor profits more from it— than Saratoga Springs, New York, where the recently renovated Adelphi Ho- tel, which originally opened in 1877, is scheduled to once again take its place as the grande dame of Saratoga hotels. We talk to general manager Michel Ducamp about the project. We also travel to an- other famous spa town, France’s Vichy, where we take a peek at their summer racing festival; visit the new sustainable farm-to-table restaurant at Glorious Goodwood, Farmer Butcher Chef; and talk to Rick Pitino, whose yearly trips to Del Mar have proven both fun and prof- itable.

The youngster, consigned by McKathan Bros., agent, worked the bullet three furlongs Monday in :33.80.
