ALL CLASSICS, ALL WEEKENDS This coming weekend we have a Classic a day for three days: the G1 Epsom Oaks will be run Friday, with Coolmore=s G1 English 1000 Guineas third Maybe (Galileo) slightly favored, at 5-2 on Betfair at this writing, over Lady Lloyd-Webber=s The Fugue, by Dansili out of Twyla Tharp, by Sadler=s Wells, who is 3-1. The Fugue ran fourth in the 1000 Guineas in only her second career start, then moved up to 10 1/2 furlongs and dominated the G3 Musidora at York. The 11-2 third choice is Highclere=s Vow (by Motivator, a grandson of Sadler=s Wells by Montjeu), erratic but ultimately The Fugue & Lady Lloyd-Webber convincing winner of the Listed Edward Whitaker/Racing Post Lingfield Oaks Trial in only her second start; Maybe, on the other hand, was 5-for-5 as a 2-year-old, including the G1 Moyglare Stud S., and was Europe=s top 2-year-old filly of 2011. Rated around 10-1 shots are Coolmore=s apparent second string, Kissed (Galileo), impressive winner of Navan=s Listed Salsabil S. on just her second start; and Godolphin=s Kailani, by Monsun out of Kazzia, winner of the 2002 G1 English 1000 Guineas and G1 Epsom Oaks. Kailani was an impressive winner of the Listed Pretty Polly S. at Newmarket=s Guineas meeting, also on her second start, also on softish ground. Interestingly, when Kazzia won the Oaks in 2002, her immediate victim was Quarter Moon, a 3/4-sister to Coolmore=s apparent third string, Betterbetterbetter (Galileo). The only other Oaks contender for this year listed under 20-1 on Betfair is Mr. and Mrs. David Aykroyd=s Colima (by Authorized, another grandson of Sadler=s Wells by Montjeu), at around 15-1; she was second to Vow at Lingfield in just her second lifetime start. So it=s the experienced Maybe, running over further than a mile for the first time, challenged in the betting by five lightly raced fillies with just 11 starts among them. Saturday is the G1 Epsom Derby. Only 12 runners were left in at the Asix-day@ stage, with five of the 12 trained by Aidan O=Brien. The red-hot favorite is Coolmore=s Camelot, bidding to become Montjeu=s fourth G1 Epsom Derby winner (Motivator, Authorized, Pour Moi last year), and unbeaten in his three lifetime starts--a maiden and the G1 Racing Post Trophy last year, and the Classic G1 English 2000 Guineas this term.

Oppenheim cont. In a field notably lacking in depth, outside of the Weekly Sales Ticker Ballydoyle legions, the clear second favorite, at 11-2, is by Bill Oppenheim Highclere=s G2 Dante winner Bonfire, from the first crop of Monsun=s son, Manduro. Third favorite, at around “Fasig’s Maryland 2-Year-Old sale did well to be up four 12-1, is the unbeaten Main Sequence (Aldebaran), percent in gross and 12% in average in spite of having 10% trained by David Lanigan for the Niarchos Family and fewer catalogued and nine percent fewer sold; both gross winner of the G3 Lingfield Derby Trial (moved, like the and average have now topped pre-crash 2008 levels, and Oaks Trial won by Vow, to the all-weather as the turf signal sustained demand around the $50,000 level. was bottomless that day). Also under 20-1, as of Ireland’s Goresbridge sale saw 30% more two-year-olds sell, with the gross up 22% and the percentage sold from Tuesday afternoon, on Betfair, were Coolmore=s those catalogued a remarkable 80%. Goresbridge definitely second- and third-strings (in either order), G3 Sandown wins the ‘clearance rate’ gold medal from this year’s Classic Trial winner Imperial Monarch (Galileo; on heavy 2-year-old sales.” – Bill Oppenheim ground), and G3 Dee S. winner (soft ground) Astrology (Galileo); either of those are eligible to be pacesetters for Camelot; and Thought Worthy, a full-brother to 2007 G1 English St. Leger winner Lucarno (Dynaformer) trained by John Gosden for owner/ breeder George Strawbridge. Thought Worthy won the Fairway S. (L) at Newmarket last time out, but the money was coming for him all day Tuesday. We=ll know by Saturday afternoon which was the better form, Camelot=s G1 English 2000 Guineas win or Bonfire=s win in the G2 Dante, but the form could get another test in Sunday=s G1 Prix du Jockey-Club, run since 2005 at the shorter 2100 meters (10 1/2 furlongs) distance.

Openheim cont. Maybe the best race of the weekend, though, was Monday=s GI Met Mile at Belmont Park, in which Darby Dan=s new acquisition Shackleford (Forestry) held off old foe Caleb=s Posse (Posse), who had swept by him to win last year=s GI Breeders= Cup Dirt Mile at Churchill Downs, with 2011 GI Cigar Mile winner To Honor And Serve (Bernardini) third, and GI Carter H. winner Jackson Bend (by Hear No Evil, a son of Carson City) off the board after chasing Shackleford. In Europe, there were two important Group 1 races for older horses on Sunday which both looked like serious preps for next month=s G1 Prince of Wales=s S. at Royal Ascot. The 1850-meter (9 1/4 furlongs) G1 Prix d=Ispahan isn=t always a top Group 1, but it was this year: the 4-year-old filly Golden Lilac (Galileo), who won last year=s G1 Prix de Diane over Goldikova=s half-sister, Galikova, came with a late run, in her first start of the year, to beat the mighty Cirrus des Aigles (Even Top), winner of the G1 Sheema Classic and the G1 Prix Ganay in his previous two starts, with G1 Dubai World Cup third Planteur (Danehill Dancer), again third. At the Curragh, meanwhile, Coolmore=s So You Think (High Chaparral) won his fourth European Group 1, and ninth in all, with an easy six-length score over Famous Name (Dansili), winner of 15 listed or Group 3 stakes and seven times Group 1-placed, in the G1 Tattersalls Gold Cup.

My takeaway from these meetings and great things accomplished. I would be willing to make individuals has been that horse racing can have broad the time necessary to help in any way possible.

Firstly, years and remember watching the you have to be committed to the victories of Steinlen in the Mile and the memorable overall mission of the company. The victory of Arcangues in the Classic.

In order Since then I have taken over the management of the to make that happen, you need a breeding and racing stable for my family. This is a medication free event and purses that passion for me and my commitment to the sport is will recruit our biggest stars across unwavering. I believe that if I were elected to the board the globe. We need to figure out what I would be able to help bridge the gap between Europe it will take to get Black Caviar, and the U.S. Frankel, and our home grown stars to Cont. p11 compete on the biggest day. That is being true to our mission. Secondly, to contribute to a board like the Breeders Cup, you need to have a true understanding of the business at hand. My experience of growing up on a farm like Dearborn, training horses for 22 years and growing my stable to over 100 horses, and then coming full circle back to an operation like WinStar Farm has blessed me with a wealth of opportunities. I am one of very few individuals who have experienced this game from both sides of the track and I hope I can offer something meaningful to the Breeders= Cup. The Breeders= Cup is centered around owners, breeders and trainers. I have been all three. Thirdly, to be an asset to the Breeders= Cup, I believe you need to be committed and be involved at the ground level. P TDN HEADLINE NEWS • 5/30/12 • PAGE 11 of 13 • thoroughbreddailynews.com

I have personal concerns that the American breeding Support for the Breeders= Cup needs to be industry has become too provincial and needs to look international, and I believe that sending our horses to beyond our borders to recapture some of the compete in this event is an ever growing necessity. In prominence our country had a decade or two ago in recent years, other countries have begun to create global breeding. The Breeders= Cup, in my opinion, is international racing events making a case for a strong our best opportunity to focus those efforts. Most of all, I would hope to use the various experiences I have support and an even stronger commitment in order to gained to benefit the Thoroughbred industry. ensure that the Breeders= Cup keeps its place and its legacy for years to come.

I have served as Cont. p12 President of the Kentucky Thoroughbred Association/Kentucky Thoroughbred Owners and Breeders on two separate occasions and have been involved in contract negotiations with racetracks as well as involvement with various regulatory initiatives within the state. I currently serve as the Chair of the American Graded Stakes Committee of TOBA and as Chair of the Kentucky Thoroughbred Development Fund Advisory Committee to the Kentucky Horse Racing Commission. I am also a member of the Jockey Club. For my day job, I am a practicing surgeon in Louisville. If elected to the Breeders= Cup Board, I would try to bring the perspective of years of loving all aspects of the Thoroughbred business to that group. I have a few core beliefs about the Breeders= Cup that I think are important to maintain. I believe it is ideal to have rotating venues rather than a permanent site for the annual event. The boost to racing in a particular region seems immense if business details can be properly negotiated for the Breeders= Cup. I believe "internationalism" is critical to continue to embrace as the BC continues to grow its worldwide importance and influence.
