GALILEO: THE HARDEST OF MOMENT OF 2020: EUROPEAN SUCCESS AT THE BREEDERS= CUP By Kelsey Riley ACTS TO FOLLOW In Moment of 2020, the staff of TDN Europe reflect on their favourite moments in racing for the year. The Breeders= Cup is always a meeting that I particularly enjoy; it is a time when my keen interests in both European and American racing come together. The Breeders= Cup always involves some incredible clashes of the continents, and it is the most international meeting when you consider participation and the gravity that both sides place on it. The 2020 Breeders= Cup at Keeneland included a remarkably strong European presence, with seven of the 13 trainers that sent horses across the Atlantic having their first runners at the meeting. After eight months of relative isolation in Lexington, where I am based, it was fantastic to get out to Keeneland in the mornings ahead the Breeders= Cup and catch up with some of these connections, all of whom were excited and enthusiastic about the opportunity. There were a few promising performances on the FridayBI=m Perennially leading sire | Coolmore thinking of Ubettabelieveit (GB) (Kodiac {GB}) blowing the break in the Juvenile Turf Sprint and then riding the rail under a By Emma Berry sterling ride from young jockey Rowan Scott to get up for third; In a temporarily upside-down world, a comforting air of a remarkable effort from both horse and rider. Cont. p5 normality can be found in a perusal of the end-of-year stallion tables. To Benjamin Franklin's certainties of death and taxes, in this smaller world we can add just about the only sure thing in racing and bloodstock: Galileo (Ire) is champion sire. Perhaps the greatest compliment that can be paid to the King of Tipperary is the fact that, even at his home at Coolmore, the operation which naturally has free-flowing access to the supersire via some of the best mares on the planet, the hunt is still on for his rightful heir. It may be too much to expect that a son will be able to continue the line with a show of such dominance, as Galileo did for his own sire Sadler's Wells, and he in turn for . Galileo certainly has some very good sire sons out there--not least his greatest achievement, (GB), and the former champion 2-year-old Teofilo (Ire)-- but he once again remains way out in front of allcomers after Tarnawa | Racingfotos.com another record-breaking year. Galileo officially turns 23 on New Year's Day and he has now IN TDN AMERICA TODAY been champion sire in Britain and Ireland for more than half of FLETCHER JONE’S UNUSUAL RACING LEGACY his life.

And Ghaiyyath is of course out of Galileo's first Classic winner, Nightime (Ire) and thus bred on the same cross as his Kildangan Stud mate Night Of Thunder (Ire), who has made an eye-catching start to his own stallion career. Dubawi posted 13 stakes winners in Britain and Ireland in 2020 to take second in the table, and with 23 stakes winners overall in Europe, he was third in the European championship behind Siyouni (Fr), who was responsible for Arc winner Sottsass (Fr) and is the champion sire in France.

It is worth noting that this tally is significantly lower than last year's haul of just over ,16 million owing to drastic prize-money cuts during a Covid-affected racing season. Galileo was also a long way clear by number of black-type winners: 27 in Britain and Ireland, and 32 in total across Europe, which was almost 11% of his runners.

FLETCHER JONES'S FLORIDA TRAINERS REACT TO LASIX BAN IN STAKES by Bill Finley UNUSUAL RACING LEGACY In Imprimis (Broken Vow), Joe Orseno has the morning-line favorite in Friday's Janus S. at Gulfstream, the first race that will be held at the South Florida track under new rules that prohibit the use of Lasix in stakes races. Orseno isn't looking forward to what will become the new normal for horsemen across the country at most major tracks. "It's a big adjustment and I'm not fond of the new rules," he said. "I don't see how you can take a horse who has been running on Lasix his whole life and all of a sudden penalize the best horses in the country for being good horses. They didn't think this through. I don't know how it won't be animal cruelty when you see a horse come back and there is blood coming out of both nostrils." Cont. p5

He's also had a positive impact on young people's lives in ways in which he could never have imagined or predicted. By most accounts, the handsome, tough, and brilliant Fletcher Jones had it all. He was enthusiastic about the future; about his two sons; his extensive art collection that included a famous Picasso; his horses; and his company that made it all possible, which was the cutting-edge Computer Sciences Corporation (CSC) that had turned him a multi-millionaire in his 30s. But unless you're in your 70s or older, you've probably never heard of him. On a rainy evening in early November of 1972, shortly after an election that subsequently featured one of the greatest crooks of presidential history in Richard Nixon, Jones left his offices in Century City and piloted his small plane towards home. His destination was the nearly 4,000-acre Westerly Stud Farm in Santa Barbara County near the Danish-settled village of Solvang, about an hour northwest. Cont. p3

Lasix will be less of a factor in the Cash Run S., a race for Florida Trainers React to Lasix Ban cont. from p1 3-year-old fillies. With Lasix having been banned in 2-year-old races at Gulfstream in 2019, most of the starters have been running medication free. That's nowhere near the case for the Janus S., which brings together a group of veteran turf sprinters, most of whom have never run without the medication. That includes the second choice on the morning line, Extravagant Kid (Kiss the Kid). Trained by Brendan Walsh, the 8-year-old veteran will be making his 47th career start. Walsh has no idea what to expect. "You wonder what's going to happen with an older horse like this one who has run a bunch of times on Lasix," he said. "How is he going to react to it? We'll just have to see what happens. He's not a bleeder but he's never run without it. We'll be able to form a better opinion after we've seen a bunch of these races. It's hard to make any judgments." While Walsh is willing to keep an open mind, he is among the Joe Orseno | Adam Coglianese many horsemen who believe the sport has far bigger problems than Lasix. Though no fan of the new rules, Orseno doesn't believe that "I don't think this is the be all and end all of the problems Imprimis will have a problem and he did start the turf sprinter here," he said. "There are a lot more factors outside of this. without Lasix in 2019 when venturing to Royal Ascot for the Lasix is one of the sport's lesser problems." G1 King's Stand S.

He says his horse has been getting the minimum dosage adamant that the new rules will cause more problems than they of Lasix and should be fine without the medication. But he is will solve. among those who is not in favor of the ban. He doesn't want to "Lasix isn't going away," he said. "These horses are still going see situations where horses are visibly bleeding from nostrils to train on it and we're going to breeze our horses on it. We're after running without Lasix. going to do everything but run on it that day. And you know "I really don't think it is fair for a lot of horses because they what? They're going to find other things to use on these horses, normally bleed," he said. "I don't know why they are doing this. whether it's tomorrow or the next day. Someone down the line Maybe PETA has something to do with it. You're going to see is going to find something they can cheat with and everyone is horses come out of races bleeding from the nose and the public going to find out about it. All they are doing is creating cheaters is going to see that. That's not going to look good. But what can in the sport. This just isn't good." we do? We have to follow the rules."

Like Orseno, he is not a fan more likely to hurt front runners because they exert themselves of the new regulations. early on in their races. "I have been doing this for a long time and the one medication "I think the pace will be a big thing," he said. "I'd love to see it that I have seen that has been most important for the well being where horses settled rather than always having some horse of the horses has been Lasix," he said. "There has been a going :22 and change on the front end. You may not see that negative reaction to Lasix, but not from the horsemen or by anymore because if they do that they're going to bleed without horse people that use it. They say a concern is that it masks the Lasix. It could be so bad that they won't be able to run for other drugs. I don't see it that way.
