From time to time throughout the day the auctioneer was his son Henry, now the Group Chief Executive of Goffs having joined DBS in 1982, some 20 years after the company was founded.

CITY OF LIGHT OFF TO STUD MOTT TAKING WAIT-AND-SEE APPROACH WITH HIDDEN SCROLL by Bill Finley AFTER PEGASUS TRIUMPH When you think of trainers and brilliantly fast, precocious young horses, Bill Mott is not someone who normally comes to mind. But on Saturday at Gulfstream, Mott unleashed a first- time starter named Hidden Scroll (Hard Spun), who not only won the one-mile maiden special weight race by 14 lengths, but registered a 104 Beyer Figure that is higher than any member of his crop has run to date. He also claimed >TDN Rising Star= status. His running time for the one-mile race run in the slop was 1:34.82. Five races later, older horses covered the same distance in 1:36.22 in the GIII Fred W. Hooper S. "I am very excited about him," Mott said. "I think he is a very nice colt. The more I watched him and the more I was around him, the more I liked him." Cont. p4 (click here)

Hidden Scroll (cont. from p1) It used to be that when a 3-year-old colt makes his debut in late January, the connections would normally rule out a start in the GI Kentucky Derby, believing it was asking too much of a horse in too little an amount of time. But the rules changed last year when Justify (Scat Daddy), who didn't make his first start until Feb. 18, not only won the Kentucky Derby but swept the Triple Crown. While Mott is not normally as aggressive with his young horses as Justify=s trainer Bob Baffert, he wouldn't rule out a Derby appearance by Hidden Scroll.

Hidden Scroll | Leslie Martin photo

"We made the nomination for the Triple Crown before he ran, so its not something we just came up with after the race," Mott said. "Even if we don't make the Derby, you want to be eligible for the Preakness and Belmont and, for a horse like this, it may turn out that he's better suited for the Preakness than the Derby." Mott said his immediate focus will be on where to start Hidden Scroll next. He would normally prefer to go into an allowance race, but says there are none in the Gulfstream condition book that fit what would be a practical schedule. For that reason, Hidden Scroll's next race will likely come in stakes company. "We've looked at the schedule and know when all the stakes races are," he said. "New Orleans, Hot Springs, Tampa, Gulfstream, we know when they are available. We'll see when the horse is ready and go from there." Mott admitted the next race will be a big test and give him a better indication of whether not it would be prudent to try to make the Kentucky Derby.

Owned by Juddmonte Farms, Hidden Scroll was a late arrival to the Mott barn, showing up at Churchill in the summer. Mott had hoped to run him there during the short September meet, but a freak accident kept him sidelined. He said the horse was spooked by a truck while walking the shedrow, reared up and kicked a fuse box in the barn. He injured a hock and needed time. Mott said he was confident going into Saturday's race, but even he was surprised by how impressive Hidden Scroll was. "We liked him and I'm not surprised that he won," he said. "But you never know when you're going to see a performance like that. Winning by 14 and being eased up, and it looked like that there were a couple of horses in behind him that were okay. It didn't look like a bad race by any means." At the same time, Mott is realistic. He knows that what Justify did last year, becoming the first horse since 1882 to win the Derby without having a start as a 2-year-old, was a rare and exceptional feat. This would not only be a case of lightning striking twice, but striking twice within a very short period of time. "I hate to be naysayer, but the likelihood of that happening two years in a row is probably pretty remote," he said. The Hall of Fame trainer has never won the Derby and has had only a handful of candidates for the race over the years. He tends to excel in other areas. But this year he could be as big a player on the road to Churchill Downs as a Bob Baffert or a Todd Pletcher. "I have no doubt that Hidden Scroll is a really nice horse. But I am also fortunate enough to have another really nice colt for Juddmonte, a Tapit colt named Tacitus (Tapit)," he said. "He's coming back and will be ready to run pretty soon. Last November, he was our Derby hope."

But the event is endeavoring to take on a distinctly AMiami@ flavor, and that champagne-and-glitz aspect of the PWC does seem to be working. Such an atmosphere might not make for a traditionalist=s idea of an ideal day at the races, but if that concept is going to work anywhere in the sport, Gulfstream Park seems the most logical venue to pull it off. Next year=s Super Bowl will be staged in Miami Feb. 2. It will be interesting to see what sort of tie-ins the 2020 PWC will have with the biggest sporting event in America. Will the PWC continue to exist in its current late-January time slot? Or will it nudge even closer to the traditional start of the Thoroughbred breeding season with a day-before-the-Super Bowl time slot that would take full advantage of the influx of celebrities and media that will descend upon the region?

Legal Backdrop for PWC This year=s edition of the PWC played out against the backdrop of a bitter family lawsuit filed in Ontario that essentially pits lead plaintiff Frank Stronach, the TSG=s founder and honorary chairman, against his daughter, Belinda Stronach, the company=s chairman and president.

Belinda Stronach didn=t immediately file a statement of defense during the 30-day time frame that is customary in Canadian courts. Instead, she opted to wait more that 3 1/2 months to answer the allegations. YOU LIKE THE SOUND OF SO ASTERN –HE’S THE BEST SON OF MEDAGLIA D’ORO, OF COURSE YOU DO!

But after waiting that long, why did she choose the Monday before the PWC--five days prior to her firm=s signature horse race--to publicly file her defense, which includes a countersuit (read it here)? Now that the claim and counter-claim are public documents, one gets the sense that--like in most family arguments--there is a little bit of truth to both sides of the issue, and a whole lot of haziness in the middle. It would be easy to write off this sort of lawsuit as a spat among extremely well-off family members. Frank=s wife, son, and grandchildren are also involved at various levels, and Belinda=s countersuit assures the court that despite the strife, all of the Stronachs Ahave been able to live in a manner that reflects the family's substantial wealth.@ But considering TSG=s substantial holdings within the United States (six racetracks, including two of the nation=s premier venues, Gulfstream and Santa Anita), people involved in racing from coast to coast are understandably antsy about what the lawsuit might mean for the future of those tracks. Frank Stronach has alleged that his daughter had engaged in Acovert and unlawful actions,@ and her brother, Andrew Stronach, alleged in a separate lawsuit that TSG is currently embroiled in a Aliquidity crisis.@ In response, some financial reassurance arrived last week in the form of TSG figures that Belinda Stronach (and the other defendants) disclosed in Jan. 21 court filings, which stated that ATSG's most profitable and cash-generating business segment is currently racing and gaming@ and that the racing and gaming segment Ais currently the primary source of TSG's growth and driver of wealth creation.@ But on a personal level, in order to prove her point that she has committed no unlawful conduct and that she is running TSG in a fiscally responsible manner, Belinda Stronach has little choice in her legal filings other than to paint her father as a past-his-prime entrepreneur whose Afanciful schemes@ have cost the family empire more than $850 million (CDN). As one business column in Canada=s leading daily newspaper, The Globe and Mail, put it last week, AMr. Stronach=s legacy is likely to be determined by a family fight over a series of unprofitable venturesY.

The gloves are now off, [and] in this slugfest, Frank Stronach=s hard-won reputation as a business visionary is already taking serious hits.@ And within the racing world, there is also this to consider: You might think he=s a genius, or you might think some of his outlandish ideas have been downright kooky. But there=s no denying that Frank Stronach is/was one of the sport=s biggest TDN HEADLINE NEWS • PAGE 9 OF 12 • THETDN.COM MONDAY • JANUARY 28, 2019 benefactors over the last several decades, unafraid to toss out bold ideas and put his own money behind them, while at the same time being very active in charitable endeavors. Take a look at the increasingly corporate landscape of racetrack operators. Do you see anyone currently at the helm of a racing conglomerate who is likely to step up and assert themselves similarly? Outspoken, charismatic, willing-to-bet-on-it individuals with a solid track record of putting racing first are an endangered species within our industry right now. An Ontario judge will likely have the final say in how the acrimonious Stronach family lawsuit gets decided. But the game might start missing Frank Stronach before his court outcome even goes official.
