ANothing to do with gambling, nothing to do with boozing, ARMSTRONG IN SPRINTING nothing to do with women, nothing to do with Haydock. Just those horses. Those athletes that had excelled themselves, that GAME FOR THE LONG RUN had come back in hot and steaming. Just the animal." True moments of epiphany tend to be confined to fiction. In most of our lives, some seed of intrigue only gradually blossoms into obsession. But there has been nothing commonplace about the trajectory of this life. Armstrong started out, 30-odd years ago, begging and borrowing the deposit on two rusting old trucks to haul sand and stone. Now he sits at his desk in one of his quarries outside Bolton, a of 70 tipper lorries and a dozen concrete mixer trucks outside; a fortune made, reinvested, augmented. Waste and recycling, for a long time, but the mainstay nowadays is five quarries: cut stone, aggregate, and ready mixed concrete. One quarry, at Chorley in Lancashire, has even ended a worldwide search for the right material to complete Gaudi's Basilica de la Sagrada Familia in Barcelona.

Now David Armstrong wanted some air, and at least to see a horse. He'd never previously set foot on a racecourse, after all--even though they only lived a couple of miles from Haydock in those days. His father-in-law did the bore-hole there, and the head groundsman had produced some passes for a Friday evening meeting. Armstrong hadn't felt the slightest enthusiasm, when his brother-in-law Neil called. Give it to someone else, he said. But Neil pressed him. "Come on," he said. "We'll pick David Parsons up on the way, we'll all go." Actually it was Parsons who drove, not being a drinker. So here they were. But where were the horses? Armstrong found his way outside, wandered towards the parade ring. A miniature stand, just three or four wooden tiers; two or three steps up; and his life changed forever. "I looked down at the horses being splashed down after the race," he recalls now. "The buckets of water, the steam. And the hairs come up on the back of my neck. And that was it.

THURSDAY’S BELMONT THE TEN COMMANDMENTS OF STALLION SELECTION by Robert D. Fierro, DataTrack STAKES REPORT: We know what you're thinking: Whatever in the world would possess someone to talk about stallion selection just before the JUSTIFY ‘FLOURISHING’ breeding season officially ends? While some might accuse your correspondent of being somewhat possessed, in some ways, there is a logical reason for exploring this subject at this time: Everybody starts thinking about next year when the breeding shed doors close up for the season. Stallion managers start looking more closely at prospects for the next season. Sometimes they look to stay on a roll of success after breeders stormed the doors for a newbie or freshmen sires burst out in style. Sometimes they need to assuage the frustration of a newbie failing to attract much interest, or those with a couple of crops failing to show much competence or class. Cont. p9 (Click here)

IN TDN EUROPE TODAY Justify “floating” over the track Thursday ARMSTRONG IN IT FOR THE LONG RUN morning at Belmont Park | Sarah K Andrew David Armstrong has built up an enviable record of by Steve Sherack breeding top-class sprinters, including Royal Ascot hopeful ELMONT, NY - The crowds may not be quite as big as they Mabs Cross. were a few days ahead of American Pharoah’s historic Triple Click or tap here to go straight to TDN Europe. Crown sweep three years ago, but the mood here at Belmont Park is starting to feel awfully similar. They were all lined up by the clubhouse gap–including Hall of Famers Bob Baffert and Mike Smith and WinStar Farm’s Elliott Walden--to watch unbeaten GI Kentucky Derby/GI Preakness S. winner Justify (Scat Daddy)’s first spin over Big Sandy after the break at 8:45 a.m. on a cool and cloudy Thursday morning. The long-striding chestnut couldn’t have made a better first impression galloping for about 1 3/8 miles with extremely good energy with his ears up just awaiting a cue from regular exercise rider Humberto Gomez while under a snug hold. He shipped in from Baffert’s Churchill Downs base Wednesday afternoon. "He went around there like he's been here before,'' Baffert said during his morning press briefing in the Belmont Cafe. “He just floated over this track. He couldn’t have looked any better today coming around there. He looks like a horse that is really flourishing.” Justify, a jaw-dropping ‘TDN Rising Star’ debut winner at Santa Anita just four months ago Feb. 18, will already be making his sixth career start in the Belmont. How is he holding up to the workload? Cont. p3 PUBLISHER & CEO Sue Morris Finley @suefinley [email protected]

Belmont Report cont. from p1 “He’s the kind of horse that thrives on it,” Baffert replied. “He’s a big, strong powerful horse. I think he’s a throwback–I could’ve run him in between the Preakness and Belmont like in the old days.” Baffert concluded, “I want to win it for the horse. I want Justify to be up there with those great horses. I’d like to see his name up there [with the Triple Crown winners]--number 13.” No fewer than seven of the 10 Belmont S. runners were out for light training before the break, including Preakness second- and third-place finishers Bravazo (Awesome Again) and Tenfold (Curlin); and Florida Derby runner-up Hofburg (Tapit). Free Drop Billy (Union Rags) and Gronkowski (Lonhro {Aus}) flew in well under the radar while sharing the track with Justify. There was plenty of other star power in action throughout the morning as well, headed by Kentucky Derby runner-up and last year’s champion 2-year-old colt Good Magic (Curlin), 2017-18 GI Kentucky Oaks winners Abel Tasman (Quality Road) (GI Ogden Phipps S.) and Monomoy Girl (Tapizar) (GI Acorn S.); and two- time G1 Dubai Golden Shaheen winner Mind Your Biscuits (Posse) (GI Runhappy Metropolitan).

Justify cont. But still, having laid out those potential stumbling blocks, the fact remains that Justify simply delivers what is expected of him- -and often exceeds those expectations--every time he’s presented with a new challenge. In the Derby, this long-striding colt was still hand-ridden through the far turn while repulsing a two-pronged attack from a pair of relentless rivals, and when set down straightening for home the brawny chestnut’s response was fluid and not at all nearing the limitations of his stamina depth. Justify’s Preakness win was a bit more of a scrappy showdown than expected, but he only lost style points and not the race, and he’s since had three weeks of rest followed by reportedly thriving in training. The been-there-done-that aura of confidence that resonates around conditioner Bob Baffert and his 2015 Triple Crown-winning team no doubt only helps Justify’s chances, Vino Rosso | Sarah K Andrew because his handlers are keenly aware of what to expect in Earlier in the spring, when jockey John Velazquez presumably terms of pressure and nerves when race day arrives. had the option to choose among several of Pletcher’s Derby-bound horses, Vino Rosso became his hand-picked horse 2) VINO ROSSO (c, Curlin--Mythical Bride, by Street Cry {Ire}) despite several uninspiring tries at Tampa Bay Downs.

Your opinion of Tenfold probably hinges on whether or not you think his third-place, three-quarter length finish behind Justify in the Preakness is the real deal or not. I think that’s the wrong measuring stick. Instead, focus on this colt’s entire four-race body of work, which although brief, gives a better illustration that this homebred is headed in the right direction. Tenfold’s Beyer Speed Figures have gone up in every start even though he’s taken on tougher competition and increased distances at every step. He’s overcome adversity (bumped and wide in the Preakness), and this colt’s pace-pressing running style means he’s unlikely to be slugging it out on the lead, yet should still be able to snag a contending stalking spot not too far off the early action. If Tenfold is able to remain in the hunt to the top of the stretch, the bet will essentially be whether his distance-oriented pedigree (by Curlin out of a Tapit mare) is enough to put him over the top at 12 furlongs.

5) RESTORING HOPE (c, Giant’s Causeway--Symbol of Freedom, by Tapit) O-Gary & Mary West. B-Gary & Mary West Stables Inc (Ky). T-Bob Baffert. Lifetime Record: GSP, 5-1-1-2, $149,880. Trainer Bob Baffert’s “other” horse in the Belmont S. is not as far-fetched a proposition as he might seem. In fact, if you go back in time prior to Justify’s February debut, Restoring Hope was getting his own share of ink in many pre-Derby prognostications before this Giant’s Causeway homebred missed the GII San Felipe with minor foot issue, then failed to make the earnings cut to enter GIII Sunland Derby. Subsequent shuffling among Baffert’s Derby hopefuls in early April caused Restoring Hope to get re-routed to New York for the Wood Memorial, where he was a one-paced third, yet only 5 1/4 lengths behind the well-regarded Vino Rosso. He next showed up in the undercard GIII Pat Day Mile on Derby Day at Churchill, which was run in a relentless, pelting rain that was worse than the abysmally muddy conditions of the Derby itself two hours later. Because of the adverse weather, I’m inclined to give Restoring Hope a free pass regarding his six-wide 12th-place try in a one-turn mile that produced an aberrational finish (top three horses 39-1, 31-1 and 21-1, respectively). So the Belmont just might be Restoring Hope’s first chance in months to run a race under comparatively favorable preparation and course-condition terms, making a substantial turnaround a realistic possibility for this vastly overlooked long shot.

But beyond those positive statistical trends, the fact remains that Gronkowski has still never raced on dirt or beyond a mile, and the 12-furlong Belmont S. is about a difficult spot as you could pick at this stage of the season to find out where/if this colt fits among the top of America’s sophomore crop. --@ThorntonTD
