TIZ THE LAW STARTS ANEW IN HOLY BULL MAKER FILES COMPLAINT by Joe Bianca AGAINST ZAYAT; The last time Sackatoga Stable and Barclay Tagg were on the GI trail together, it was with a relative no-name, DIODORO MAY BE NEXT at least until the First Saturday in May, when the entire racing world became aware of their future superstar Funny Cide (Distorted Humor). This time around, 17 years and some gray hairs later, all eyes will be on them and their charge from the jump, as Grade I winner Tiz the Law (Constitution) gets his highly-anticipated 3-year-old campaign underway as a heavy favorite in Saturday=s GIII Holy Bull S. at Gulfstream. Picked up for $110,000 at the Fasig-Tipton New York-bred yearling sale in the summer of 2018, the colt with the all- encompassing blaze on his face came out firing when unveiled against Empire-breds Aug. 8 at Saratoga, kicking away to a powerful score with ears pricked while wrapped up on for much of the final furlong.

IN TDN EUROPE TODAY TATTS FEBRUARY CLOSES WITH GAINS Mike Maker | Coady Photo The Tattersalls sales year got off to a strong start at Park Paddocks this week. by Bill Finley Click or tap here to go straight to TDN Europe. Ahmed Zayat's legal problems continue to grow. Trainer Mike Maker filed a complaint in Jefferson County (Kentucky) Court Thursday seeking $120,921 over what he alleged are unpaid training bills. Maker's complaint was filed less than two weeks after a Kentucky court ordered Zayat's assets into receivership, the result of claims by an investment group that says Zayat owes it $23 million. Maker's complaint was first reported by BloodHorse. According to the complaint, Maker trained as many as eight horses for Zayat Stables, which was falling behind on paying its training bills. Maker said that he was prepared to take legal action in September, but, instead, worked out a payment plan in which Zayat was required to send him $10,000 a month. The trainer said the installment payments often weren't made on time and the monthly bill for January was not paid at all. "Back in September, I thought it was getting out of control," Maker said. "We were going to file suit then and they made a settlement agreement, which we came to terms on. He defaulted on that on Jan. 15. I figured enough is enough. I might as well do what was inevitable."

Maker Files Zayat Complaint cont. Maker said he no longer trains any horses for Zayat. Zayat uses several different trainers currently and at least one, Robertino Diodoro, appears ready to also take legal action. Diodoro said he is owed a significant amount of money by Zayat and is prepared to take steps to collect on overdue bills. Zayat's most recent financial problems came to light when New York-trainer Rudy Rodriguez came forward and claimed that Zayat owed him more than $600,000 in unpaid bills. Rodriguez was set to sell the two horses he trained for Zayat and keep the proceeds, but did not have to do so after he and Zayat came to terms. Last week, a Fayette County (Kentucky) judge granted a motion to put Zayat's assets into a receivership. That was the result of a lawsuit file by MGG Investment Group, which said it was owed $23 million by Zayat. MGG also alleged that Zayat had sold shares in , which the company claimed were to be used as collateral against his debt. That was noted in Maker's complaint. "Defendants had no intention of honoring the settlement agreement, as the Defendants had already notified other creditors of their insolvent status and, according to published reports, begun to liquidate assets without notifying creditors," it read. Zayat has gone to court seeking to dissolve the order appointing a receiver. Aware of Zayat's financial problems, Maker said he was not confident he would get paid. He added that many trainers have to deal with owners who do not pay their bills. "You hear all the complaints about Lasix and the integrity of the game when this sort of thing is a huge part of the game that everybody is afraid to mention," he said. "You go around and ask trainers how much money they get beat out of every year by owners and it is pretty alarming. We go to a gas station and there's a sign at the pump that says if you drive away without paying you will lose your license. If we go to a restaurant and eat and run off you will get arrested. Go to Walmart and walk out with pack of gum and you will get arrested. But these guys come into this industry and don't pay the trainers and nothing happens." Diodoro, who is best known as a claiming trainer and says he has four horses for Zayat, told TDN that Zayat owes him "a large amount of money." He declined to say exactly how much the debt is. "I'm not sure what I'm going to do yet but I have to do something," he said. "It is a large amount of money and I wish I could just sweep it under the rug. I'm not in a position where I can afford to do that. I am going to have to do something and do it fairly quickly. I'm no high roller and we are talking about a lot of money." Cont. p4 TDN HEADLINE NEWS • PAGE 4 OF 17 • THETDN.COM SATURDAY • FEBRUARY 1, 2020

Diodoro said he has contacted an attorney. He said Zayat's bills had been piling up for "six plus months." "It could have been worse because at one point I had 12 for them," he said. "Hopefully, it works out for everyone. This game is tough enough to make it, never mind making it when you're put in a position like this."

Robertino Diodoro | Coady Photo Many of Zayat's better horses are trained by Richard Baltas. The list includes Desert Stone (Ire) (Fastnet Rock {Aus}), the winner of the Jan. 4 GII San Gabriel S. at Santa Anita. Baltas said he is owed money by Zayat, but he said he wasn't prepared to take any legal action. "Yes, there is money owed," he said. "They owe me a lot of money. But I have been winning races for them and getting horses claimed and they have been paying me. I don't want to get into the number. But it's not like they are totally defaulting and not calling me or not sending me money. It's just that I've been carrying them a little bit longer than I want to." Baltas said that he was waiting to see what came out of the MGG legal action and that, if it came down to it, he would follow the court's instructions so far as how to proceed with the Zayat horses. "If the court tells me to sell the horses I will sell the horses," he said. "I just have to make sure I get paid before the horses leave the barn." D. Wayne Lukas has one horse for Zayat and also said he was dealing with unpaid bills. "I'm going to ride this out and see if the receiver will at least pay the training bills," said Lukas, who declined to reveal how much he is owed. "I haven't done anything legally. I just hope someone steps up and makes sure things are done properly. I will give courts every chance to make it right."

"Our goal is just to let them be horses again," Blowen said. "Most of them haven't been out in a paddock with other horses since they were babies. It's really amazing to watch them greet each other and run around. You can tell they are gleeful." On top of the benefits provided to the horses, Blowen talked about the education the farm offers to racing fans. "Every time visitors come out, we get to say, 'Look, this is the way we treat our horses.' And people get to see how these horses are sweet and extremely intelligent and how well they are cared for." Blowen recalled some of the visitors who left with a new appreciation for the animals. "DeMarcus Cousins came to visit once and he was afraid of the horses at first. Even someone who's as big and athletic as him, if you're not used to being around horses it's definitely scary. But after a while, he got used to them."

MIKE REPOLE What was the experience that made you fall in love with horse racing? Growing up in Queens, I would cut out of high school early to spend the day at Athe beautiful Aqueduct Racetrack@ to place a By Andrea Branchini $2 bet and watch these amazing compete at the BACCHANALIA (f, 4, Union Rags--Crazy Party, by A.P.

Bacchanalia, a daughter of Crazy Party, is a 4-year-old filly and is cleverly named. According to Wikipedia AThe Bacchanalia were Roman festivals of Bacchus, the Greco-Roman god of wine, freedom, intoxication and ecstasy. They were based on the Greek Dionysia and the Dionysian mysteries, and probably arrived in Rome c. 200 BC via the Greek colonies in southern Italy, and from Etruria, Rome's northern neighbor (Tuscany nowadays)@. Therefore the Bacchanalia were definitely an ancient and probably intense type of crazy party--so much so that they were eventually banned. An Italian native, Andrea Branchini now lives in Lexington, Ky. where he works in the equine transport industry.

Mike Repole | Breeders= Cup/Eclipse Sportswire Would you commit to creating one new fan this year and, if so, what would be the experience you use to introduce them to the sport? I think racing should be more about spending time educating more people about the sport and investing time in giving current fans and future fans a beautiful sneak peek behind the scenes of this great sport. I would take them to the barn in the morning, watch the horses gallop and work out, watch the horses get brushed down, and watch them feed. Then take them to the track and give them an incredible experience in the paddock-- watching these amazing athletes close and up-front, meeting the trainers and the brave jockeys. And then maybe an opportunity to be in the winner=s circle. To me, there is no greater feeling than being in the winner=s circle after your horse Bacchanalia | Lauren King has won.

GERMANY HIT BY PATTERN DOWNGRADES TATTERSALLS FEBRUARY The downgrading of a pair of German Group 2s and a distance CLOSES WITH GAINS changes for two key French 2-year-old races were among the outcomes of the European Pattern Committee=s annual meeting at the British Horseracing Authority offices on Jan. 23. Germany was hit hardest in the quality control realm, its Meilen Trophy and Goldene Peitsche downgraded from Group 2 status, and the G1 Deutsches Derby, G1 Preis von Europa, G2 Diana Trial and G2 T. von Zastrow Stutenpreis all put on notice for risk of downgrading in 2021. France was issued a warning for four racesBthe G1 Criterium de Saint-Cloud and Group 2 Prix Greffulhe, Prix Hocquart and Prix Eugene Adam. Turkey=s G2 Topkapi Trophy is at risk, as is Italy=s G2 Derby Italiano. The committee also determined that Italy shall remain as an associated member of the European Pattern Committee with no voting rights. Norway=s G3 Polar Cup was the only other pattern race downgraded, and five listed races in France (1), Spain (2) and Norway (3) lost their listed status. Creationist will be a work companion for Romanised | Tattersalls Cont. p3 The two-day Tattersalls February Sale came to a close on Friday with figures well up on the 2019 renewal. With the catalogue size down slightly, 305 horses went through the ring with 264 sold for a clearance rate of 87%, compared to 85% a year ago. The average settled at 12,350gns, up 16% on last year, while the median rose 30% to 6,500gns. Despite the smaller offering, the aggregate was up at 3,260,300gns. Leading the way on the price board was the 4-year-old gelding Creationist (Noble Mission {GB}) (lot 285), twice a winner on the all-weather for Roger Charlton and rated 92. He was bought by Rupert Pritchard-Gordon for 60,000gns with a specific mission: to be the work companion for dual Group 1 winner Romanised (Ire) (Holy Roman Emperor {Ire}). He will thus head to the yard of trainer Ken Condon. "He has been bought to go to Ireland and to Ken Condon's and Racing at Baden-Baden in Germany | Getty though he will run as a dual-purpose horse, he has been mainly bought to be a work companion for Romanised," said Pritchard-Gordon, racing manager for Romanised's owner IN TDN AMERICA TODAY Robert Ng.

The owner of Twitter: @AlaynaCullen the mare will receive a personalised headcollar. This month's [email protected] prize goes to London Plane (Ire), the dam of G1 Stewards' Cup winner Waikuku (Ire). Contributing Editor Competitive black-type action continues in Hong Kong Alan Carasso throughout the winter with plenty of expatriate horses to the Twitter: @EquinealTDN fore. The G1 Stewards' Cup on Jan. 19 was won by the former John Oxx-trained Waikuku (Ire) (Harbour Watch {Ire}). The Cafe Racing 5-year-old, who is now in the stable of John Size, was bred by Sean Cronin Shane Molan of Riversfield Stud in Co. Limerick from the Tom Frary [email protected] Danehill Dancer (Ire) mare London Plane (Ire). In an article written by TDN's Managing Editor Alan Carasso Irish Correspondent last year, Molan described how he came to purchase the mare. Daithi Harvey "She represented good value, first and foremost, and she's by a good broodmare sire," he said. "She had a good bit of size and Regular Columnists she was a full-sister to quite a good horse in Al Waab. On Chris McGrath | John Berry | Kevin Blake pedigree, we wanted to buy something that we could afford and then on physical, she had good bone, a good step, a very nice frame." London Plane's i13,500 price tag looks good value given what her first foal has gone on to do. Waikuku is now a seven-time winner and also landed the G2 Jockey Club Mile last November. For Molan this was his first foray into breeding on his own and it could not have started better for him. TDN EUROPE • PAGE 4 OF 6 • THETDN.COM SATURDAY • 1 FEBRUARY 2020

Mare of the Moment: London Plane cont. "We liked his first foals, he was really stamping his stock. He While choosing a stallion can seem like a drawn-out process, was a good-sized horse himself and a very good 2-year-old and for Molan choosing Harbour Watch must have been an easier we wanted to get a good-sized [stallion] into her for her first decision to make given that his father, Thomas Molan, bred the foal. And then, obviously, to support a stallion that Dad bred stallion. himself," remarked Molan last year. Waikuku was sold as a yearling for i33,000 at the Tattersalls Ireland September Yearling Sale to John Oxx and was fifth on debut before winning his maiden at Leopardstown. This was to be his only win in Ireland as he was purchased for Hong Kong and joined the stable of John Size. London Plane has since given Molan a Tamayuz (GB) gelding called It's Good To Laugh (Ire), who is in training with Clive Cox and who won on his second start last August as a 2-year-old. This gelding yielded a far greater return for Molan when sold through the same ring as his sibling for i100,000 to Kevin Ross Bloodstock on behalf of Paul and Clare Rooney.

Person in the industry you admire the most: There are plenty, but I think for uncommon work ethic and professionalism, as well as results, it would be Mike Ryan. He always remembers the groom's name, he's always quick to congratulate others, and he's always humble in victory.
