A $20,000 Keeneland September yearling purchase, Divine Park is the fourth foal from his dam High in the Park. By the English-raced Danzig son Ascot Knight, who was subsequently a useful sire in Canada, High in the Park won three times in 26 starts. She is half sister to the stakes winner Summer Prince, and also to Moonland Princess, the dam of the 2001 Queen=s Plate hero T J=s Lucky Moon. She is also a half to Hail a Princess, the dam of the stakes winning and graded placed Stormy Atlantic colt All Hail Stormy. Divine Park=s granddam Czar=s Princess (by the Nijinsky II Czaravich), was a minor winner, but is ex- tremely well-bred. She is half-sister to GI Kentucky Oaks and GI Hollywood Starlet S. heroine Sardula; and to , winner of the GI Beldame S. and GI Gazelle H. and runner-up in the Breeders= Cup Juvenile Fillies. Imperial Gesture is by Langfuhr, a son of Danzig, and is bred on very similar lines to Divine Park=s dam. Czar=s Princess is also a half to Tempest Dancer, a stakes-winning sister to Sardula, who also produced the GIII Stymie H. victor Windrush. Last week we wrote about Tiznow=s son Slew=s Tizzy, whose is out of a mare by a son of Seattle Seat- tle, and who is therefore bred on the same cross as his sire. We pointed out at the time that this pattern is one which is frequently seen, with the most prolific current example being bred on the Mr. Prospector/ Northern Dancer cross doing well with Northern Dancer line mares. Six of Chester House=s 12 stakes winners are out of Northern Dancer line mares, and the mating of stallions bred on the Mr. Prospector/Northern Dancer cross back over Northern Dancer line mares has also been responsible for Group and Grade I winners Com- FOALING NEWS: SPECIFICALLY, 13, Sky Classic--Specificity, by Alleged mentator, Elusive City, Dark Ending, Roman Ruler, Foal born Apr. 15, a filly by Dancer (Ire).

FROM THE DESK OF... Bill Oppenheim

SHOWTIME Last Saturday was the final day of the 2006-07 Brit- ish jumping season, and it closed out with the eight-year-old Hot Weld (by the dual Group 3-winning stayer Weld, by Kalaglow) completing a double which had never been achieved before. He followed a win in the four-mile, one-furlong Scottish Grand National at Ayr Apr. 21 with a near all-the-way win in the three-mile, 5 1/2- furlong Betfred Gold Cup at Sandown last Saturday. No horse had ever before won both races, much less seven days apart. That=s 62 1/2 fur- longs, or seven miles and 6 1/2 furlongs, if you=re counting. So, Street Sense (Street Cry {Ire}) can win the GI Kentucky Derby, even though no winner of the previous 20 GI Breeders= Cup Juveniles has ever completed that double. He has three really important factors in his favor. One, we know he likes the track. Admittedly he cut the corner, but he ran the fastest winning Beyer ever (108) in the Juvenile, and won by a record margin (10 1/2 lengths) at this racetrack. Moreover, his last serious breeze at this racetrack had Blood-Horse re- porter Steve Haskin in raptures. They have to like Chur- chill Downs, and he does. Second, he ran in the GI Blue (859) 233-4252 Grass S. The late, great Eddie Gregson, who sent out www.claibornefarm.com Gato del Sol to win the 1982 Kentucky Derby from the 18 hole, always said you don=t have to win the Blue But Curlin will have to overcome stats of the Hot Grass, you just have to run well in it for the condition- Weld variety. A horse who was unraced at two hasn=t ing. Gato del Sol was beaten 5 1/2 lengths in the Blue won the Derby since sometime before the Great De- Grass by Linkage. Street Sense was second, beaten a pression. Then there is the Michael Tabor/ nose by Dominican (El Corredor), a horse who is duo of GI Florida Derby winner (Beyer 98) Scat Daddy three-for-three on the all-weather, and 0-for-four on () and GII Louisiana Derby winner (Beyer dirt. 102) Circular Quay (); GI Wood Memorial Incidentally, the Blue Grass was notorious long before (Beyer 97) winner Nobiz Like Shobiz (Albert the Great); Andy Beyer was complaining about its reliability as a and a host of other contenders. These include another pointer to future events. Keeneland=s old dirt track had Pletcher duo, both by Distorted Humor and part-owned a wicked inside rail, and two-turn speed horses enjoyed by WinStar, Cowtown Cat and Any Given Saturday; the a huge advantage--which is why the winner of the Blue J.
