LARRY JONES REFLECTS AS HE NEARS 1000 ‘TEXAS’ FLAVOR IN OCALA by Michael Adolphson

If people are the sum of their life experiences, with stories built upon one another like the chapters within an anthology, or levels to a skyscraper, then the nearly 1000 victories trainer Larry Jones has tallied tell a tale of greatness and assemble a construction of character. Built through intense trials, from the ill-fated Eight Belles ('s Song) to his own hospitalization after a life-threatening accident, Jones has fortified his portfolio with faith and surrounded himself with enough material to keep building. A farmer turned racehorse trainer, who became a three-time winner, Jones has cultivated an enviable 19.6% career strike rate, while counting 23% of his graded victories in Grade I events--14 total.

After purchasing 18 yearlings at public auction in 2015 with Click or tap here to go straight to TDN Europe. prices ranging from $11,000-$120,000, Brehm and partners will send four of them through the ring at the upcoming two-day OBS March 2-Year-Olds in Training Sale. Nine more are slated to go under the hammer this spring at the OBS April and June sales. The remainder of the group will be campaigned by trainer Keith Desormeaux on the West Coast. “Keith Desormeaux is really good at looking at the way a horse moves and what’s in a horse’s mind,” Brehm commented. “I think that’s really critical. Guys like [bloodstock agent] Dennis O’Neill, and from my camp, Keith Desormeaux and April Mayberry, can really find these diamonds in the rough and pick good horses out consistently. They have that skill. The 63-year-old Brehm continued, “We have a great team. It’s nothing I’m doing, trust me. It’s all about the team. I guess maybe my value is that I have the formula. I have to decide between our six different partnerships how we’re splitting the horses up. So far, it’s worked out pretty well. The OBSMAR quartet, consigned by Mayberry Farm, Agent V, were selected at the yearling sales by Desormeaux and Mayberry. Cont. p3 JOSEPH DIORIO ©

‘Texas’ Flavor cont.

“It was funny because everybody was telling me that, ‘This is everything you look for in a racehorse. He’s so good looking... etc.’ The purses weren’t any good in Texas, so I wanted to race in Louisiana and Keith Desormeaux was recommended to me as a trainer. I called Keith and liked him right away.” He continued, “So, I send him the horse--I’m thinking I have this great horse. Two weeks later, he calls and says, ‘Erich, I’m going to do you a favor. I’m going to help you get out of this horse. And let me help you find a good horse.’ I said, ‘Really? Because everybody is telling me that he’s a world beater.’ And he says, ‘Yeah, not so much.’ He was terrible and never won anything. Keith saw it right away. He never won a race and was later given away as a polo horse.” Brehm began claiming horses with Desormeaux in 2009 and immediately hit the ground running. Shape (Arch), haltered for $15,000, was the first to net a small profit. “We ran him, I think, maybe 20 times or so and he got us a check every time,” Brehm said. “He was very durable and won a couple of little races for us. At the end of the day, it was a positive experience.” Buying yearlings with Desormeaux to race and pinhook quickly followed. “I bought a Big Brown filly for $20,000 and we sold her for $60,000,” he said. “I went back to pinhook again the following year and bought a Street Boss for $25,000 and got $155,000.” The best was still yet to come. Racing for the Brehm family, Wayne Detmar, Lee Michaels, Dr. Gene Voss and Desormeaux, the aforementioned Texas Red (Afleet Alex), a $17,000 KEESEP yearling purchase in 2013, has gone on to rack up just north of $1.7 million in earnings. In addition to his 13-1 upset in the Juvenile, the handsome bay also won last term’s GII Jim Dandy S. and was second in the GII San Vicente S. and GIII Dwyer S. He was sidelined after finishing a disappointing fifth in last year’s GI Travers S. (Click here for a recent TDN APB). With a long-term eye on the GI Breeders’ Cup Classic, Texas Red is aiming for a return in a seven-furlong allowance at Santa Anita in early April. Other targets are likely to include the GI Gold Cup at Santa Anita June 25 and the GI Pacific Classic at Del Mar. He breezed four furlongs in an easy :49.20 at Santa Anita Mar. 12. “There are five people in the Texas Red partnership and two of them had never owned a racehorse before,” Brehm concluded. “He’s made $1.7 million and everybody in that partnership is addicted.” -@SteveSherackTDN

Larry Jones cont. Jones continued, “I know when I got hurt so badly, He saved me and that it was in his plans. The doctor said my kind of recovery doesn't happen very often, but I turned the corner on Easter Sunday and a lot of things happened that day that people have trouble believing. This is a great game, but it's very trying and can bring out the worst in people. I just hope that when it brings out the worst in me, he can lead me back." Jones is quick to point out that it is also the athletes themselves who have put him where he is today. "The best all-around horse I've ever been around, without a doubt, was Havre de Grace," Jones reflected. "She was the nearest thing to a perfect horse I'll ever touch. She gave me the least to worry of any horse, but she was so good I worried all the time. Hard Spun was the fastest and I was convinced he could have been a champion sprinter had we went that route, but could carry that up to a mile and a quarter. Proud Spell was the hardest-trying horse I've been around and was a little package who thought she could--and she did. Lord only knows how good Eight Belles was going to be. She went from getting beat to winning races by 10 lengths and was just getting good. She'll always be--like so many of these horses for many different reasons--very special to me. I was very fortunate to get to gallop all of these, myself. I knew them, they knew me and we always found a way to work together." Going into the third week of March, Jones sits at 996 victories- -just four short of his first major career victory mark. Still, one visit to his barn and it is easy to see a lack of trophies touting his accomplishments. The building blocks of his success are on four legs behind the webbings of his 40-stall barn. From returning GI winner I'm a Chatterbox, to 2016 Oaks hopeful Midnight On Oconee (Midnight Lute) and even his homebred Jensen (Haynesfield), who will try to stamp his ticket to the Derby in next month's GII Spiral S., they are the cumulative chapters in his career aggregate, each with their own story to add. "When I took a year off with health issues and retired, I found out that I really like horses," he concluded. "No matter how upset I may ever get at the game with all the hustle and bustle, they are the reason I do it. No matter how tiring it can be, even when shipping across the country from New Orleans to Houston to Saratoga Springs, I remember that that's why I got into it. The horses are the center and climbing on top of them is the best part of my day."

FEATURE PRESENTATION • GII REBEL S.

WHITMORE ‘YELLS’ READY FOR REBEL The prospect of stormy weather Sunday afternoon led trainer and co-owner Ron Moquett to alter plans slightly, as the conditioner sent out Whitmore (Pleasant Colony) for his final serious piece of work ahead of Saturday’s GII Rebel S. at Oaklawn Park. Breezing in the company of 2015 GIII Southwest S. winner and GI Arkansas Derby runner-up Far Right (Notional), Whitmore covered a half-mile in :51 flat and galloped out five furlongs in 1:04. “With the weather coming in, I thought it Whitmore | Coady photography would be best,” said Moquett of Whitmore, who was second to the impressive Suddenbreakingnews () in this year’s Southwest S. Feb. 15. “It worked out fine.” The stable could also be represented in the Rebel by Tisdale (Friesan Fire), who has run well in two starts over the local strip during the meet, including a neck success when trying the Rebel distance of 1 1/16 miles for the first time Feb. 6. “If it wasn’t for everybody bringing in horses from everywhere, then I would wait and find another spot,” Moquett said. “If the gates are going to be filled full, with 14 horses, then two of them might as well be ours.” Should Tisdale pass the Rebel, Moquett said races like the Northern Spur S. or the GIII Coolmore Lexington S. would be considered. Both those races are scheduled for Apr. 16.

North American News cont. AIROFORCE MAY BE BACK ON DERBY TRAIL by Bill Finley After Airoforce (Colonel John) was trounced by 39 1/2 lengths in the GII Risen Star S. as the 17-10 favorite, Mark Casse said he was no longer considering the GI Kentucky Derby, but the trainer said the 3-year- old may yet make it to the first leg of the Triple Crown. Casse, who has never found an explanation for why Airoforce ran so poorly in the Risen Star, is inclined to “just put a line through” the race Airoforce | Coady photography and move on. The colt has remained in training ever since and if he continues to do well, Casse said he will look at starting him in the GIII Spiral S. at Turfway Park on Apr. 2. When asked if that means a good performance in the Spiral would lead to a start in the Kentucky Derby, Casse replied: “Let’s put it this way, he has a better chance today than he did three weeks ago.” “I don’t know if they even publish it, but he had a big work Thursday at Winding Oaks [Training Center],” Casse said. “He worked five-eighths on the grass in 1:00 and galloped out three quarters in :12 3/5 and the seven-eighths in something like 1:26. We’ve run some tests on him, but he’s continued to train all along. Next week he will work at OBS on the synthetic and if he were to work really well and we are happy with him, you may see him in the Spiral.” The knock on Airoforce is that his three career wins have come on either the grass or a sloppy surface, which he skipped over last fall to win the GII Kentucky Jockey Club at Churchill Downs. In his lone effort on a fast track, he ran dismally in the Risen Star. “We already know he likes Churchill Downs,” Casse said. “We haven’t figured out why he ran so bad in the Risen Star. I know you could say he didn’t like the dirt but my feeling is if he didn’t like the dirt he would have gotten beat five, six, seven lengths. The race was so bad I think you just have to throw it out.”

ALL COMES TOGETHER FOR MELATONIN Tarabilla Farms’ Melatonin (Kodiak Kowboy) was second off a November layoff and was making only his second start past 6 1/2 furlongs in Saturday’s GI Santa Anita H. at the Great Race Place. By a winner of the GI Cigar Mile H. and out of a mare by a GI Met Mile hero, neither did it seem like his pedigree was crying out for the Big ‘Cap’s Melatonin and Joe Talamo win for fun 10-furlong trip. But, sent in the Big ‘Cap | Benoit photo off at 16-1 and in the race in large part at the behest of jockey Joe Talamo, the 5-year- old set a generous pace and galloped home a very easy winner. “[Trainer] David [Hofmans] freshened him, brought him back, we worked him, and he kept looking for another spot, wanting to go a mile on the turf. But it rained and the race didn’t go, so finally we decided on the two-other-than long on dirt and he won by nearly four lengths [Feb. 5],” said Scotty McClellan, agent to Talamo. “Then David said he was going to nominate to three stakes, the [GI] Kilroe [Mile] [on the turf], the San Carlos [seven furlongs on the dirt] and the Santa Anita H., and Joe kept pushing him to run in the Handicap, telling him, ‘He’ll run all day, he wasn’t tired,’ and finally convinced David.” Hofmans, who orchestrated the 1996 GI Breeders’ Cup Classic upset with Alphabet Soup and derailed the Triple Crown dreams of Silver Charm with Touch Gold the following spring, was still exploring the options for a next start for Melatonin. “I don’t have any thoughts about where to run next,” the veteran horseman said. “We’ll play it by ear and talk with The Team, meaning Scotty and Joe, and see what they want to do. But the horse looked really good this morning. It wasn’t a big effort for him.”

“Go Maggie Go was her last foal, unfortunately,” Tarp said of Magibel. “She was a good mare and has produced some pretty nice horses through the years. And this one being her last one, so far, it looks like we’ve got ourselves a pretty nice filly here. So we are pretty excited about her and hopefully we can carry on and go onwards and upwards.” Tarp, owner of a Chrysler dealership based in Calgary, has been in the racing game for some 12 years now. Currently with nine horses in training with Romans, he has campaigned Tarpy’s Goal (High Cotton), winner of the 2012 OBS Sophomore S. and third in the 2011 GII Futurity S., and American County (Gibson County), winner of the 2008 Sunshine Millions Oaks and third in the 2007 GIII Debutante S. “For me, it’s a hobby,” Tarp commented. “It’s not a business. It’s an expensive hobby, but I’m having fun with it, so that’s the main thing.” American County is now Tarp’s sole broodmare. “She just gave birth to a Shackleford filly,” Tarp said of the mare. “She’s doing well and no doubt I’ll be looking forward to racing the filly.” Go Maggie Go’s impressive debut has Tarp dreaming big for the filly’s next start. “It looks like Dale will put her in a stakes race next and we’ll go from there,” Tarp said of the filly’s next start. “That will be Dale’s decision, but most likely it will be a . I don’t tell him where to put any of my horses. He has carte blanche, but if you want my opinion on it, that’s probably what he’s thinking. But it’s a fragile sport, so you never know.” While he was unable to make it to Gulfstream Sunday, Tarp is confident he’ll be making it to Go Maggie Go’s next start. “There is no doubt in my mind that I’ll make it there, wherever it might be,” he laughed.

"Intilaaq went very well and pleased us,” said Varian. “He traveled well in behind and quickened nicely when Richard asked him to. The exercise went very smoothly and it would have brought him on another notch. He gets shipped out to Dubai next week and we are very happy with his condition.

One of the many ways in which this truism finds form in the bloodstock world is the marginalisation of good stallions simply because they are getting older, as the allure of untried youngsters blinds breeders to the proven merit of the older brigade. As one experienced observer of the scene wryly remarked after touring various Hunter Valley studs in advance of the past breeding season and hearing how heavily the PR men were promoting the new recruits, "It appears that Australia currently has the best bunch of stallions it has ever had--and none of them has ever sired a winner." The victory, therefore, of Preferment (NZ) (Zabeel {NZ}) in the G1 Australian Cup at Flemington Saturday has come as a useful reminder of the potential folly of overlooking proven stallions simply because they have reached the stage where they seem part of the furniture. Zabeel, 15-time winner of the Dewar Trophy for leading NZ-based sire judged on Australasian earnings, lived to the age of 29 before passing away in his paddock at Cambridge Stud in September 2015.
