TAKING STOCK: BAFFERT=S THURSDAY=S PREAKNESS REPORT: RECEIVES HIGH PRAISE FROM BAFFERT WAY WITH SIRES by Steve Sherack BALTIMORE, Md--It couldn=t have rained any harder during training hours at Pimlico Thursday morning. That is, of course, until it was time for GI winner Justify (Scat Daddy) to stretch his legs. With the rain coming to a halt almost on cue during the renovation break, a small crowd began to emerge from cover by the stakes barn as Justify walked under tack at 8:15 a.m. Led out by longtime Bob Baffert assistant trainer Jimmy Barnes aboard a stable pony, a slew of media and fans were lined up with their cameras and cell phones raring to go as Justify made his way to the gap. With the sloppy, sealed track still being worked on for a few minutes, Justify, as always, stood patiently and never turned a hair. Cont. p5 (click here)

What Baffert=s resume clearly shows, however, is a penchant for training one of the best, if not the best, offspring of any random sire, good or bad. That=s a skill.

AWe got him in in November.@ said Baffert. AElliott Walden had put a good foundation in him at WinStar and then he=d had a few breezes at Keeneland with [Rodolphe] Brisset before they sent him to me. We like to go easy with them at first, not ask them for too much speed. But my assistant in Los Alamitos was telling me he was special. When I got him, first time I worked him in January, I knew he was really, really special. Elliott Walden kept telling me, >I sent you a really, really nice colt.= After I worked him, I told him he was a really nice colt, and Elliott said, >I=ve been telling you that. That=s why I was trying to get him over to you [at Santa Anita].=@ Justify=s remarkable ascension in a short time frame is a testament to his sire, family, constitution, and physique, and it=s easy to assume that any competent trainer could have developed such a well-bred horse similarly. But Baffert has accomplished a few things with Justify that have shattered some barriers: he won the Kentucky Derby with a horse that hadn=t raced at two, who was the first Storm Cat-line winner of that Classic, and whose sire was more widely renowned for turf horses, not for 10-furlong horses on dirt. Baffert=s uncanny ability in developing lesser-pedigreed horses, some by stallions well off the commercial path, brings into sharper focus his skills as a trainer and manager and his eye for a horse. Here=s a partial list from an old blog post of mine of Grade I winners trained by Baffert that were the best offspring for their sires: Cavonnier (Batonnier) (Quiet American) (Silver Buck) (Fly So Free) (Cherokee Run) Tuzla (Panoramic) River Keen (Keen) General Challenge, Excellent Meeting, and Magical Allure (all by General Meeting) Point Given (Thunder Gulch) (Arazi) (Our Emblem) Friendly Michelle (Artax) (Pioneering) Downthedustyroad (Storm and a Half) and Pussycat Doll (both by Real Quiet) E Z=s Gentleman (Yankee Gentleman) Drill (Lawyer Ron) Coil (Point Given) (Eddington) (Stephen Got Even) Hoppertunity (Any Given Saturday) (Big Brown) (Offlee Wild) Mor Spirit (Eskendereya) 2018 Fee: $15,000 Stands and Nurses

The opportunity to work at Lambholm came up, and it seemed like a great opportunity--so we decided to give it a go.@ Brette said that his time working with Matz--and working with horses such as Barbaro--taught him the importance of focusing on everyday details. With positive relationships established across the industry, the trainer is hopeful he can achieve at the highest level at Lambholm.

Robinson Cano (right) | Getty Images Arthur explained that Lasix does not necessarily mask other drugs. Instead, because it is a diuretic, it causes the dilution of urine, which makes it harder to find other drugs in tests. AIt is a diluting agent,@ he said. AWhat that means is, let=s say because of Lasix your urine is twice as diluted. You might normally have 10 nanograms of a drug in your urine and after Lasix use you will have five nanograms. That can take things under the level you need to detect a drug and if that happens you=re going to miss it. Diluting urine makes it more difficult to test for certain drugs. That just makes sense.@ Once Lasix started to become a widely-used medication in racing, chemists and racing commissions realized they had to take steps to stop those who might try to use the drug to make more illicit drugs undetectable. Dr. Rick Sams, a professor with Ohio State=s Department of Veterinary Clinical Sciences, and Dr. George Maylin, the longtime head of the drug testing program for the New York Gaming Commission, were put in charge of finding a solution to what could have been a serious problem. The two concluded that a horse should not be administered Lasix within four hours of its racing because any shorter period of time would make the dilution effect problematic. The four- hour rule has been universally adopted across the U.S. AThe rules we have now are a direct result of studies that George Maylin and I did in the mid-eighties,= Sams said. AWe dosed horses with performance-enhancing drugs and therapeutic drugs, we administered Lasix, we collected urine samples at various times and we determined that with the conditions that Lasix must be administered four hours before a race and with a maximum dose of 25 milligrams, there was no significant effect on the concentration in the urine sample. That was an issue that was paramount leading up to the mid-eighties when Lasix administration was banned by the predecessor to the ARCI. They recommenced a ban on furosemide nationwide due to its potential to help hide others drugs, just like you saw with this baseball situation.@ Cont. p15 TDN HEADLINE NEWS • PAGE 15 OF 16 • THETDN.COM FRIDAY • MAY 18, 2018

Cano has admitted to taking Lasix and has accepted his suspension, which will cost him $11.85 million in salary. In a statement, he said he had been given a prescription by a doctor in the Dominican Republic and was using it to treat a Amedical ailment.@ He denied using any performance-enhancing drugs. AFurosemide use in humans is pretty much limited to cardiovascular disease, to hypertension,@ Sams said. AI wouldn=t necessarily expect to see it used in a healthy adult his age [35].@ Lasix, and all other diuretics, are banned by the World Anti- Doping Agency because of the possibilities they can alter the results of drug tests. If Cano were in fact using Lasix in an attempt to beat drug tests for steroids or other PEDs, that raises a lot of questions that are hard to answer. Racehorses are tested after a race. Baseball players are tested on a random basis. Was he taking Lasix around-the-clock in case a test was forthcoming or did he have advance knowledge of when he would be tested? Either way, there would be nothing in place that would have prevented him from taking Lasix within a time frame where he could have diluted his urine. AI=m not surprised that a human athlete got suspended for Lasix,@ Arthur said. AIt=s just hard for me to understand why he would be taking Lasix. It=s a pretty dumb thing to do because it=s very easy to test for. You=re not going to be able to take Lasix and dilute your urine and not have anybody figure out you took Lasix. I don=t understand why a baseball player would be taking Party on Preakness Day. The party will be held immediately after Lasix.

U N S U N G H E R O E S CRISTINA VASQUEZ Cristina Vasquez has been on the track in New York for over 30 years. When I was a director for the HBPA New York division, there was a need for a bilingual person in the backstretch clinic to assist the staff with the Hispanic clientele. I recommended Cristina, as I had known her and her family through a trainer I had ridden for years earlier. She was immediately hired and her job description evolved into counseling families through spousal abuse, making all the dental appointments, organizing a free flea market and hustling food for her on-site pantry through organizations like Long Island Harvest. During Thanksgiving, she excels at preparing numerous complete dinners including turkeys, vegetables and dessert and distributes to over 200 backstretch families. Christmas is another holiday where she makes every effort to ensure that the families in need are taken care of. --Submitted by Joe Brocklebank

GOVERNMENT CUTS FOBT STAKE THE LION The British government has cut the maximum stake players ROARS AGAIN can make at a fixed odds betting terminal to ,2 from ,100, citing the need to Areduce the risk of gambling-related harm.@ A statement from the government read that, after consultation with the public and the industry, it wanted to Areduce the potential for large losses on FOBT machines and the risk of harm to both the player and wider communities.@ AProblem gambling can devastate individuals= lives, families and communities,@ said Minister for Sport and Civil Society Tracey Crouch. AIt is right that we take decisive action now to ensure a responsible gambling industry that protects the most vulnerable in our society. By reducing FOBT stakes to ,2 we can help stop extreme losses by those who can least afford it.@ AWhile we want a healthy gambling industry that contributes to the economy, we also need one that does all it can to protect players.@ Cont. p5 Roaring Lion alone at the finish of the Dante | racingfotos.com

Mildenberger (GB) (Teofilo {Ire}) on York=s Knavesmire, he put his tame return third in the G3 Craven S. four weeks ago behind him once and for all. After that prep for the G1 2000 Guineas, John Gosden had refused to flinch, claiming the grey was only 80% and with his much-improved fifth to arch-rival Saxon Warrior (Jpn) (Deep Impact {Jpn}) in the Newmarket Classic itself he proved that assessment to be correct. Just 12 days on from that effort he was enjoying a class drop as he took a less- travelled path from Guineas to Dante, but surprisingly was allowed to start as big as 3-1, which he duly made a nonsense of with Oisin Murphy=s hardest decision being when to strike. Following the pace set by Mildenberger with ease in fifth throughout the early stages, Roaring Lion was on the heels of stablemate Crossed Baton (GB) (Dansili {GB}) entering the straight. By the time they passed the three-furlong marker he was tanking along caught in a pocket behind him and White Mocha (Lope de Vega {Ire}), who interestingly had robbed him of second late on in the Craven.

Pedigree Notes... The winner’s stamina for 12 furlongs is under question, but Kitten’s Joy stayed that trip well and gets horses who do. Hawkbill is the best pointer in Europe so far and he improved for a step up to that distance after winning an Eclipse on rain- softened ground, while one of his better ones in North America finished close-up behind the top-class Euros Found (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) and Golden Horn (GB) (Cape Cross {Ire}) in the 2015 GI Breeders’ Cup Turf.

Nonetheless, he felt there world beyond; so that all could stand up irreproachably to a might be "not just smoke but fire." In the past, racing has had to confrontational lobby.

Engelbrecht-Bresges stressed that these two straws in the wind had blown across separate areas of the policy document. "One has to be very mindful that it is two sentences, not one," he said, adding that the same point had been emphasised by a Beijing government agency to cool down an immediate rush of proposals from five major speculators from the commercial sector. But Engelbrecht-Bresges also remarked that Hainan, as an island, was an ideal medium for a controlled experiment in any sensitive new venture. Moreover, it had recently been earmarked as the site for a ground-breaking free trade port.
