The Travers loss ended an eight-race winning streak that began last summer at Del Mar. This year, American Pharoah returned from an injury to win twice at Oaklawn Park, sweep the Triple Crown and after a short rest won the Haskell. AHe has been doing the impossible,@ Baffert said.

KEEN ICE DOING WELL AFTER TRAVERS The morning after winning the GI Travers S. with Keen Ice (Curlin) trainer Dale Romans noted that the victory was one of the most exciting and overwhelming of his career. AIt's been overwhelming since last night," he said while standing outside the barn and still soaking in post-race glory. "I've been in a lot of big events and won a lot of big Keen Ice getting a bath after his Travers win races, but the | Sarah K. Andrew lingering effect of this one is bigger than [winning] the Preakness or any of them. I had so many calls my phone froze up and I haven't been able to use it since last night. I finally got it working late this morning. I know everybody thinks I'm ignoring them, but it wouldn't work." Romans, who spoke to Bob Baffert for a half hour Saturday night, commended the trainer for his sportsmanship and class. "I think American Pharoah ran his race,@ said Romans. AHis speed figure was really good. Bob is a class act and a sportsman. He was proud of his horse, as he should have been. He knew what he was up against coming over here. I thought he had his horse well prepared and that he ran well. He took the worst of it getting hooked on the lead and had to work. But great horses have to earn it. They have a target on their back.@ Romans continued that Keen Ice appears to be well after his run, although he was understandably tired after the taxing affair. cont. p5 Headline News • PAGE 5 of 14 • thetdn.com Monday • August 31, 2015

TRIBUTES TO ‘CUPS KING’ BART CUMMINGS Nov. 14, 1927 - Aug. 30, 2015

Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott: "Australia has lost a sporting giant and a racing legend. Few people have dominated a sport like Bart Cummings did. He will be remembered as a truly great trainer, the winner of literally thousands of races. Race day will not be the same without him. On behalf of all Australians, we extend our sincerest sympathies to Bart's wife of 61 years, Valmae, his children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren."

John Messara, on behalf of Racing Australia: “"The name JB Cummings is forever etched in racing history. Bart will always be spoken of with wonderment at his achievements. Bart had a unique impact on the general public with his laconic wit and big race victories. He brought racing to the wider community.”

Peter V’landys, Racing NSW chief executive: “Bart was a legend in every sense of the word, not only in sport, as he was a great Australian. Bart’s career spanned more than six decades and he was a household name. We only recently celebrated Bart’s 60 years in training--a fantastic feat with many trainers’ careers spanning a decade or two, yet Bart trained for more than six decades...Bart was always in a league of his own. His larger than life character and sharp wit will be sorely missed. Bart goes down as a legend in Australian sport, up there with the great Don Bradman.
