FAMILY VALUES FAVOR SWISS SKYDIVER TO TAKE ON BOYS IN THE BLUE GRASS by Bill Finley UNCLE CHUCK The filly Swiss Skydiver (Daredevil) will be out to make history Saturday when she takes on males in the GII Toyota Blue Grass S. at Keeneland. No filly has ever won the prestigious race. Trainer Kenny McPeek had nominated Swiss Skydiver for both the Blue Grass and the GI Ashland S. for fillies. He waited until Wednesday morning, shortly before the draw, to make his decision. He said a major factor was that he has another filly for the Ashland in Envoutante (Uncle Mo). "In any other year, this would have been an easier decision, but I have Envoutante running in the Ashland and I think she has a big chance there," he said. "I hate running entries where you know you are going to beat yourself with one or the other. [Owner] Peter Callahan is as game as Dick Tracy and I am too. I do think it will be fun. If she can jump through this hoop, great. If she can't, we will backtrack and go to the [GI] Alabama or Uncle Chuck | Benoit just wait for the [GI] Kentucky Oaks."

For instance: go to a horse sale; buy a colt with Classic pedigree; put him into training with a silver-haired dude in California--and Bob's your uncle. Not that it can have been terribly easy for Bob Baffert to show his most avuncular side just lately. A few weeks ago, for any of his unbeaten sophomores even to prove the best in their own shedrow seemed likely to certify something close to greatness. But now Nadal (Blame) has been retired; Charlatan (Speightstown) is out of the GI Kentucky Derby; and Authentic (Into Mischief) has met his match out on the track. Moreover positive tests for lidocaine now menace the immaculate records of both Charlatan and the breathtaking filly Gamine (Into Mischief) with a first blemish. With the confirmation this week of what had previously been a prematurely leaked report, at least Baffert has been able to publish the case for his exculpation. In the meantime, however, he had already reminded us that this cluster of scintillating talents, back in the spring, was never just a happy coincidence but simply the latest proof of his program's historic efficacy.

That was pretty deep in the sale for a half-brother to none other than Maclean's Music (Distorted Humor), who had managed a breakout Classic success from his first crop when Cloud Computing won the GI Preakness S. the previous year.

Uncle Chuck cont. Lady Be Good's most regular partner was Bold Ruler; and she also had two foals by his son Bold Lad, one of which disowned the patchy soundness of subsequent generations by winning 26 of 146 starts. Lady Be Good, herself fast and precocious, had 10 daughters among 13 named foals. Between them, they established such fertile branches of the dynasty as one that produced Wavering Monarch (Majestic Prince) plus Epsom Derby winner Motivator (GB) (Montjeu {Ire}); or another that yielded a cavalry of top-class milers in Europe: Zilzal (Nureyev), Polish Precedent (Danzig), Culture Vulture (Timeless Moment) and Intikhab (Red Ransom). Impish herself was the second dam of six other stakes winners besides Mining, including Grade I winner Miss Shop (Deputy Minister) and one of Tapit's first stars, Trappe Shot.

Bold Ruler | Horsephotos In the round, then, Uncle Chuck can draw on some pretty deep wells of speed and class, hardly surprising when his first five dams are by Unbridled's Song, Gone West, Damascus, Buckpasser and Majestic Prince. Now it's over to Uncle Mo to help stretch out the family brilliance--conceivably to meet the demands of a 20-runner Derby. The most conspicuous element in that process is the duplication of Caro. Uncle Mo, of course, is keeping his outcross sire-line alive; while Forest Music's sire Unbridled's Song is out of the Caro mare Trolley Song. Though Uncle Mo is a grandson of the speedy In Excess, as bedrock Caro offers a strong Classic influence. Certainly Uncle Mo--whose first two dams, after all, are by Arch and Dixieland Band--wasted no time in establishing his two-turn potency, conjuring Kentucky Derby winner Nyquist from his first crop. And he can count King Guillermo (GII Tampa Bay Derby), Modernist (GII Risen Star S.) and Pneumatic among those currently reserving a Derby gate ahead of Uncle Chuck.
