Delloye will return to Paris, which he left for Deauville on being appointed to the newly formed Arqana in July 2006, and, despite the anticipation of taking up one of the most influential roles in French racing, he leaves Normandy with a heavy heart. AI can=t believe it=s my last sale, I=m a little sad,@ he confesses. The personable Delloye has been a committed frontman for Arqana in its first decade in existence. The company rose from the merger of Agence Francaise with Goffs France and it was the former Agence Francaise head and mayor of Deauville, Philippe Augier, who first lured Delloye to the industry from his previous role with a major retailer in Paris. He explains, APhilippe Augier was looking for someone with bloodstock knowledge and also experience outside the industry. So we met and very quickly he offered me the job, and that was the first big move I had to make in my personal life, leaving Paris and moving to Deauville.@ Cont. p2 TDN EUROPE/INTERNATIONAL $ PAGE 2 of 5 $ THETDN.COM MONDAY, 8 FEBRUARY 2016

Working in company with stablemate Bad Read Sanchez (Warrior’s Reward), the undefeated juvenile champion recorded fractional times of :23.65 and :47.16 and galloped out six furlongs in 1:13 flat. Bad Read Sanchez, four lengths back at the wire, was given a five-furlong work time of 1:00.20. (TVG work video) “That’s exactly what we wanted to see,” trainer Doug O’Neill said. “He’s had a bunch of stamina workouts, so we just wanted a sharp drill. He worked unbelievably. Mario [Gutierrez] was really happy with it, so we’re happy.” Off since capping his championship season with a win in the Oct. 31 GI Breeders’ Cup Juvenile, Nyquist worked six furlongs Jan. 30 in 1:16.20 and Jan. 24 in 1:15.60.

Kobe’s Back, still last at the top of the lane, rallied four wide and closed relentlessly. He had Salutos Amigos in his sights as the favorite took over after five furlongs in :56.33 and surged to the lead in the final strides for a cozy victory. “Well, having owned that horse a long time and knowing exactly what he’s gone through with his breaking, and all the ‘could have been this, could have been that’... He’s a really good horse, but he has that style and he does some stupid things but he didn’t do anything stupid today, he just ran,” said winning owner Lee Searing. “He did come out of the gate really good today so that may have made a difference, but he’s also never been this good, so finally this may be his year. We’ll find out but it’s a good start.” Kobe’s Back was making his first start since finishing seventh, beaten 4 1/2 lengths, in the Oct. 31 GI Breeders’ Cup Sprint. His patented late run last got him home first in the GIII Commonwealth S. at Keeneland last April, but he hit the board in three additional graded stakes in 2015.

A FILLY FOR THE AGES, SONGBIRD BELONGS IN KENTUCKY DERBY by Bill Finley Rick Porter can do whatever he wants with his Songbird (Medaglia d’Oro). It’s his horse. But, sorry, I just don’t get it. Why are Porter and trainer Jerry Hollendorfer so adamant that they will not run their sensational filly in the GI Kentucky Derby? There’s only one Derby and Songbird is likely the most talented 3-year-old race horse of either sex on the planet. She belongs in the starting gate on the first Saturday in May and not the first Friday. Yet, Porter didn’t even pony up the $600 necessary to make her eligible for the Tripe Crown. Songbird | Horsephotos The road to the Kentucky Derby has already included terrific performances from two colts, Mohaymen (Tapit) and Mor Spirit (Eskendereya). Mohaymen looked a superstar-in-the-making when winning the GII Holy Bull at Gulfstream and Mor Spirit kicked off his 3-year-old campaign with a convincing win last Saturday in the GIII Robert B. Lewis. There’s also Nyquist (Uncle Mo). Last year’s champion is certainly no pushover. But are any of them as good as Songbird? That was a legitimate question last year and it became even more so Saturday. Songbird picked up where she left off in 2015, winning the GII Las Virgenes at Santa Anita, treating her opponents with disdain as she arrogantly cantered across the wire, slowed to a near walk by Mike Smith. The winning margin was 6 1/2 lengths. It seemed like it could have been 60. In the previous race, the Lewis, Mor Spirit looked good. Songbird looked sensational. After the Las Virgenes, Porter said what he’s been saying all along. No Derby. “It would be nice to win the Kentucky Derby, but I’d like to do it with a nice colt ,” the owner said. “I don’t like the [Kentucky Derby] point system. We’d have to run in the GI Santa Anita Derby with her. I think it’d be great for your ego, but the smart move is to stay on the path we’re on to the [Kentucky] Oaks.” Porter has a point about the Kentucky Derby point system. It’s now virtually impossible for a filly to get into the Derby without first running in a prep against males. But why not run in the GI Santa Anita Derby? If she somehow didn’t win or run competitively, you can always take a step back and go for the GI Kentucky Oaks. Cont. p7 HEADLINE NEWS • PAGE 7 OF 8 • THETDN.COM MONDAY • FEB. 8, 2016

But if Songbird were to win the Santa Anita Derby, she would Horse of the Year title. Havre de Grace again faced males in the have proven that she can beat males, that winning the Kentucky 2011 GI Breeders’ Cup Classic, where she finished fourth. Derby is not be beyond her talents, and she would likely be the Rather, it seems that Porter, and maybe Hollendorfer, as well, favorite in the most important horse race in America. have lost sight of just what it means to win the Kentucky Derby. Some may wonder if It is supposed to be the dream of every owner, trainer, breeder, Porter is still spooked by jockey, groom, hotwalker, exercise rider that has ever what happened in 2008 participated in the sport. It is not just an iconic horse race, it is when he ran Eight Belles an iconic sporting event. It is a race that creates legends. It is the (Unbridled’s Song) in the race that everyone in America knows. With the lone exception Derby only to have her of when a horse is going for the Triple Crown in the GI Belmont break down after finishing S., it is 100 times more important than any race in America. second. In perhaps the It is difficult for a filly to win, but not impossible. It has been darkest moment in Derby done three times and Porter himself finished second with Eight history, Eight Belles had to Belles, a horse that didn’t breathe the same air as Songbird. be euthanized after pulling Instead of the Derby, Songbird will be pointed toward the up past the finish line. But Kentucky Oaks. It’s an important race, but it pales in comparison Porter has said repeatedly to the Kentucky Derby in every way imaginable, starting with the that he doesn’t believe that purse. The Oaks goes for $1 million, the Derby for $2 million. But Eight Belles’s gender had the real difference between the two is less tangible. No one can anything to do with the name the last 10 winners of the Kentucky Oaks. Everyone can tragedy and that he has Songbird and Mike Smith | Benoit name the last 10 winners of the Kentucky Derby. They make nothing against running fillies against males. He proved as much movies about Derby winners.
