TAKING STOCK: COOLMORE'S AFTER BLOWN PURSE CONTRACT DEADLINE, NEW YEAR'S GAMBIT HORSEMEN CLAIM ARLINGTON OFFICIALS WON'T MEET by T.D. Thornton Barely 18 hours after a state-mandated Dec. 31 deadline elapsed for having a purse contract in place, the Illinois Thoroughbred Horsemen's Association (ITHA) lashed out at Arlington International Racecourse and its publicly traded ownership, Churchill Downs, Inc. (CDI), claiming that the gaming company "deceived Illinois" and is now "threatening the future of live racing at Arlington by refusing to commit" to funding adequate purses for the 2020 meet.

The colt is to stand at Coolmore America (Ashford Stud) in Kentucky at the end of his career, but he is scheduled to race this year and has some major targets on his slate, including the new $20-million race in Saudi Arabia, which is incentive enough for Coolmore to want to participate in a potentially lucrative racing season. Moreover, Maximum Security is one of the leading contenders for an Eclipse Award as champion 3-year-old male of 2019, and Coolmore has a penchant for prospects with hardware: American Pharoah (Pioneerof the Nile), Classic Empire (Pioneerof the Nile), Justify (Scat Daddy), Lookin At Lucky (Smart Strike), and Uncle Mo (Indian Charlie) own Eclipses at Ashford. The Eclipse may not be a foregone conclusion, however, despite an excellent season for a colt who began his career at two in a $16,000 maiden claimer and remarkably ended his 3-year-old season with three Grade l victories--in the Xpressbet Florida Derby, the TVG.com Haskell Invitational S., and the Cigar Mile H.--with an overall career record of seven wins from nine starts and earnings of $1.8 million.

Maximum Security | Horsephotos

After Maximum Security was controversially disqualified from first in the Gl Kentucky Derby, Gary West became something of an unpopular figure in the media by challenging the DQ in court and by challenging some Derby owners to side bets in future races against his colt. West's recent criticisms of The Stronach Group's lowering of the Gl Pegasus purse to $3 million--with its 2% levy for aftercare--as the reasoning for bypassing it for the far more lucrative Saudi Cup has only upped the vitriol in some corners, including among some turf writers who'll presumably be voting on the awards. To win the championship, Maximum Security's record alone will have to sway enough voters away from two other worthy and well-connected establishment rivals, Lane's End owner W.S. Farish's Code of Honor (Noble Mission {GB}), trained by the venerable Shug McGaughey; and Fox Hill Farms owner Rick Porter's Omaha Beach (War Front), who's conditioned by the immensely popular Dick Mandella. Next to McGaughey and Mandella and their owners, Maximum Security's trainer Jason Servis, whose gaudy win percentage has been fodder for innuendo, wears the same figurative black Stetson that West apparently rocks low on his forehead, tilted down. But Coolmore boss John Magnier is nobody's fool and he can read the cards as well as anyone, and what the hand shows is this: three aces up for the colt he and his partners bought into. One, Maximum Security finished first and ahead of Code of Honor in the only two times they met on the track, in the Derby and in the Florida Derby.

New Year=s Day | Benoit West has long-admired Coolmore's abilities in that arena, particularly while he was trying his hand at making New Year's Day (Street Cry {Ire}), Flashback (Tapit), and Power Broker (Pulpit) at Hill 'N' Dale through the mid-parts of the decade. What he found was an unforgiving commercial marketplace that was particularly hard on less-expensive horses, especially after their first two years at stud, even though the Wests had offered significant bonuses and breeding incentives on them. New Year's Day, winner of the Gl Breeders' Cup Juvenile, was sold to Brazilian interests in November of 2018, when his first crop was three. At that juncture, the stallion was represented by only three moderate black-type winners--Day Raider and Dat Day, winners in British Columbia; and Cafe Du Monde, a restricted stakes winner in Louisiana--and the prospects of attracting mares in Kentucky in 2019 were dim. In fact, New Year's Day is represented by only 18 foals of 2019 and 20 foals of 2018, big drops from his first three crops, which were aided by some moderately priced mares West and Ben Glass had purchased at auction specifically for the horse and for Flashback--who has since been moved to Pennsylvania but is still owned by the Wests. Power Broker was sold to Saudi Arabia. Timing is everything with young sires, and unfortunately for West, New Year's Day didn't come up with Maximum Security until after the sale. Since, New Year's Day has been represented by two other 2019 graded winners as well, in Bourbon Resolution and Fighting Mad. The former, from New Year's Day's first crop, won the Glll Ben Ali S. at Keeneland, and the latter, like Maximum Security from the stallion's second crop, won the Glll Torrey Pines S. at Del Mar. In total, New Year's Day is now represented by seven black-type winners and five black-type-placed runners, and it's notable that the Wests have bred seven of these 12, including all three of the stallion's graded winners as well as the Grade l-placed Yesterday's News. TDN HEADLINE NEWS • PAGE 6 OF 12 • THETDN.COM FRIDAY • JANUARY 3, 2020

Had these runners struck a year earlier as a group, New Year's Day would still be at Hill 'N' Dale instead of in Japan at Shadai Stallion Station, which purchased him from the Brazilians for a reported $5 million after the success of Maximum Security. As a top-level winner by Street Cry and a half-brother to graded winners Mohaymen (Tapit) and Kingly (Tapit), New Year's Day will have new life at Shadai and a chance to build on his successes. Shadai lost its two top sires, Deep Impact (Jpn) (Sunday Silence) and King Kamehameha (Jpn) (Kingmambo), in 2019. New Year's Day's rehabilitation probably helped Coolmore's decision to buy into his son, whose dam Lil Indy is by the obscure yet well-bred A.P. Indy stallion Anasheed. Lil Indy, too, has been rehabilitated. A half-sister to multiple Grade l winner and $3.6 million earner Flat Out (by Flatter, by A.P. Indy), Lil Indy was part of a small group of mares that West and Glass had purchased at the Keeneland January sale in 2014 to breed to their stallions, and she cost $80,000. She was sold by them for $11,000 in 2018 at Keeneland November in foal to New Year's Day but reappeared last fall at the same venue to make $1.85 million in foal to Quality Road, thanks to Maximum Security. (Glass also purchased the mare Rose and Shine {Mr. Sekiguchi} for $50,000 at the same sale as Lil Indy, and she is the dam of the New Year's Day black-type winner Parade of Roses. Rose and Shine was sold for $21,000 at the Keeneland January sale in 2017, carrying the Flashback foal who became Grade l winner British Idiom, the leading contender for the Eclipse award for champion 2-year-old filly.) Coolmore's interest in Maximum Security makes sense from other vantage points as well. For one, he's a viable outlet for their Galileo (Ire) (Sadler's Wells) and War Front (Danzig) mares in the Northern Hemisphere, where Street Cry already has a very good son in Street Sense, who's at Darley. And in the Southern Hemisphere, Coolmore Australia stands the young Street Cry Group 1 winner Pride of Dubai (Aus), who is from a Danehill (Danzig) mare and whose first crop is just now at the races and showing promise. The Street Cry/Danehill cross has been terrifically successful--there are at least six Group 1 winners on the cross--and Maximum Security could very well benefit from shuttling to Australia, where Street Cry sired one of his greatest runners in Winx (Aus).

Arlington cont. from p1 The ITHA's allegations were listed in a point-by-point press release sent to news organizations late on New Year's Day, and the top gripe pointed out that "Churchill's plan to allocate just $130,000, on average, for overnight purses each day next year will render Arlington's races irrelevant for the purpose of simulcasting and will, invariably, fail to attract quality stables to the track." David McCaffrey, the ITHA's executive director, told TDN on Thursday that his organization is seeking $200,000 in daily Arlington purses. By way of comparison, the ITHA release stated that competing overnight purses average $180,000 per day in Indiana and $174,000 per day in Minnesota. "Churchill knows what it takes to produce a full calendar of quality racing. In its home state of Kentucky, Churchill has, with its substantial loan to the purse account at Turfway Park, shown a commitment to Thoroughbred racing that is consistent with the reputation it built," the ITHA release stated. "Yet in IllinoisCas elsewhere in the country, from Hollywood Park to Calder Race CourseCChurchill is rapidly abandoning any meaningful commitment to racing." McCaffrey said the two parties have met three times recently to hash out a contract. At the most recent meeting, Dec. 18, he said the ITHA presented a number of options as to how CDI could bridge that $70,000 daily purse gap (read them in the ITHA press release here). But McCaffrey said CDI's answer was a flat-out "no" without a counter-proposal. A Thursday phone message left for Arlington president Tony Petrillo asking for CDI's version of the stalled negotiations did not yield a return call prior to deadline for this story. ITHA president Michael Campbell told TDN that as the Dec. 31 deadline loomed, the horsemen tried to schedule talks with CDI on both New Year's Eve and New Year's Day, but CDI officials didn't respond to meeting requests. "They have our red-lined contract," Campbell said. "It's not us who are the obstructionists here. We have repeatedly, through emails and text messaging and conversations, said that we are The decision took on added controversy because CDI has an ready to meet on any occasion, with reasonable notice." ownership stake in a nearby competing casino, and has stated Added McCaffrey, "We're very much in uncharted waters an intent to open another near Chicago. here, and I don't know how this proceeds.

Last August, CDI stunned Illinois horsemen by intentionally At a Sept. 17 race dates hearing, the IRB postponed awarding missing a deadline to apply for newly legalized racino licensure 2020 race dates to Arlington and grilled CDI executives over the that would have bolstered purses at the track. corporation's apparent lack of commitment to Thoroughbred TDN HEADLINE NEWS • PAGE 8 OF 12 • THETDN.COM FRIDAY • JANUARY 3, 2020 racing in Illinois. It mandated that CDI officials return in a week's time to articulate a tangible plan that focused on the gaming company's long-term dedication to racing and how purses would be funded at Arlington. Yet on Sep. 24, the IRB unanimously voted to award 2020 dates to Arlington even though CDI officials largely did not budge from their publicly stated stance against applying for racino licensure at Arlington, and those CDI executives wouldn't say what the corporation's intentions for the track were beyond 2021. (By contrast, Hawthorne Race Course, the other Thoroughbred venue near Chicago, is swiftly moving ahead with the licensing and construction phases of its purse-boosting racino. The ITHA claimed in its Jan. 1 press release that purse contract negotiations with Hawthorne took only one hassle-free hour to complete.) In addition to making racino licenses available to existing racetracks that applied for them, the sweeping Illinois Gaming Act passed last June also had a new requirement written into it that states: "A contract with the appropriate Thoroughbred or Standardbred horsemen organization shall be negotiated and signed by the organization licensee before the beginning of each calendar year." In light of that requirement, the ITHA claimed in its release that CDI "is out of compliance with the law." Yet the Gaming Act does not state any explicit penalty that the Illinois Racing Board (IRB) could or should impose on either party for not adhering to the deadline. Domenic DiCera, the IRB's executive director, told TDN on Thursday that he would not comment specifically on whether the IRB considers CDI and/or the ITHA to be out of compliance or what a potential penalty might be. But he did offer an explanation as to how the situation is likely to be handled moving forward. "The board has not rendered its position on what recourse that may be taken. This is a negotiation between two parties, and there's some contract law that probably has to be considered because it's not addressed in the legislation," DiCera said. "There is some overriding statutory language that the board can rely on, but the board renders that decision. It's not done at the staff level.

He defeated MSW & MGSP Ibn Malik (Ire) (Raven=s Pass), who was another 1 1/2 lengths in advance of last year=s runner-up and dual Group 3 winner Drafted (Field Commission). Away in alert fashion, the chestnut stayed well off the inside and pressed the pace in fourth four deep on the backstretch as Lavaspin (GB) (Hard Spun) led the way glued to the rail. He came calling a quarter mile from home, as Ibn Malik began to wind up from farther back. Lavaspin grudgingly gave way at the 300-metre marker and Gladiator King was always holding the charging Shadwell rival in the rush to the line. Drafted arrived from well off the pace, but was given too much to do late on and settled for third. Cont. p3

All Too Hard, who stood the 2019 season for $27,500 (inc ALL TOO HARD ENJOYING GST), celebrated stakes winner number 13 when All Too Royal won the Listed Christmas S. at Caulfield on Boxing Day, while BRIGHT PATCH PRIOR TO two of his banner horses, South African-based Roy's Riviera, and star 3-year-old Alligator Blood, added Group 3 successes in the YEARLING SALES Christmas-New Year period. Alligator Blood will be looking to further put his sire's name up in lights when he starts a short-priced favourite for the Magic Millions 3YO Guineas on Jan. 11. "He really needed that banner horse and he's a very serious horse," White said of the David Vandyke-trained 3-year-old. "There are many more to come. Hard Landing was impressive winning the Maribyrnong Plate in the spring and he's going to have a good autumn in his 2-year-old races." Timing is everything and with the sales season set to begin it augurs well for All Too Hard's popularity with the buying bench. "He sold well at the Gold Coast last year. We had a couple sell really well, a colt made $400,000 and a filly make $300,000," White said. Hard Landing, out of Group 1 winning sprinter Snitzerland (Snitzel), sold for $280,000 to Lindsay Park Racing and Andrew Williams Bloodstock at the 2019 Magic Millions Sale and has already produced a stakes win, providing a fine

"She was a pretty fast mare herself. This filly looks like a readymade 2-year-old and will get up and go early. She will certainly be one of his earlier ones to the racetrack, I would have thought," he said. White described Lot 723, out of Sanaya (More Than Ready {USA}), a three-quarter sister to Mahisara (More Than Ready {USA}) as 'a quality filly with real elegance', while he singled out Lot 195, out of Confident (Not A Single Doubt) as the pick of Vinery's colts by Star Turn. He said the colt offered by Glenlogan Park, Lot 258 out of Dukemore (Encosta De Lago), was as close a specimen to the stallion himself as he had seen. "He's a really well-balanced individual himself, a really good mover and that's what I've seen in a lot of his progeny. They have got good strength, good balance and they are good Star Turn | Vinery movers," he said.

Star Turn was a $400,000 Magic Millions Gold Coast yearling himself just five years ago and White is confident that the market will see the same qualities in his progeny which they saw in him. "He was a strong readymade running type of horse himself.
