ALMANZOR TO SHUTTLE TO CAMBRIDGE COOLMORE STILL HAS New Zealand=s Cambridge Stud has purchased the Southern SENSE OF ADVENTURE Hemisphere breeding rights to Almanzor (Fr) (Wootton Bassett {GB}), and the 2016 European 3-year-old is set to shuttle there later this year. Almanzor is based at Haras d=Etreham in France and is currently standing his first season for i35,000. Almanzor will be syndicated in New Zealand and will stand for NZ$30,000. Brendan Lindsay, who with his wife Jo recently purchased Cambridge Stud from the legendary studmaster Sir Patrick Hogan, said, "Our purchase of Almanzor is a further vote of confidence in the New Zealand industry. He will be the first European champion 3-year-old since (Ire) to stand in New Zealand, so having access to a horse with his credentials is hugely significant. We will be throwing our full support behind him."

Coolmore continues to be rewarded for Cont. p5 tapping into international bloodlines. | racingfotos.com IN TDN AMERICA TODAY By Tom Frary WEDNESDAY’S TRACKSIDE DERBY REPORT Just as it should be, this year=s Guineas is a pedigree war of the Steve Sherack reports from Downs on the Wednesday biggest and boldest and most successful bloodstock manoeuvres before the GI Kentucky Deryb. Click or tap here to go straight of recent times and it is no surprise that Coolmore are at the to TDN America. forefront. The race=s most intriguing horse is without question (Jpn) (Deep Impact {Jpn}), who represents a brand new Japanese experiment by one of racing=s biggest thinkers, . Deep Impact has always been considered a monster in terms of his racing career and at stud, but he needed a wider international stamp of approval to truly launch and that is beginning to happen now. Saxon Warrior=s dam, (Ire) ( {Ire}), represents a genuine European pedigree, with Derby and Oaks winners and Dancing Rain in there, but there is a hint of outside enterprise involved too as the former went for the en route to Epsom. That sense of adventure and pushing the limits is what lies behind most of the scene-changing moments of European racing since D.r Vincent O=Brien opted to place his faith in in the late sixties. Along came and the momentum shifted entirely. It is nearly 50 years since that great and last Triple Crown winner set foot on Newmarket=s Rowley Mile to 4-7 favouritism before heading to Epsom and to complete British racing=s holy trinity of monuments.

Coolmore Still Has Sense Of Adventure Cont. from p1

Saxon Warrior will be more around 5-1 on Saturday, so it is impossible to say whether he will tread down that kind of path but there is a sense of the unknown where he is concerned at present. He not expected to do what he did on debut at The Curragh in August, when his biggest advocate, Donnacha O=Brien, enjoyed as fun a joyride as is possible from a racehorse in the final two furlongs. It was on board for the G2 Beresford S. and G1 Racing Post Trophy, where he had bigger fish to fry but managed it in a manner suggesting he was just doing what was necessary. The latter race used to be all about stamina, but since Doncaster switched it to a straight mile and drastically altered their drainage system it is no longer a hotbed of died-in-the-wool Derby types. In 2011 (GB) (Montjeu {Ire}) became the first since High Top in 1972 to win that and the Guineas the following year and Saxon Warrior showed miler speed as well as determination in the most recent renewal. His dam Maybe, who was sent off the 13-8 favourite for the 1000 Guineas in 2012 only to be left trailing by stablemate Homecoming Queen, was one of the Afast Galileos@ that Aidan O=Brien and Jim Bolger first exploited with her debut success coming over six furlongs. That said, she got a mile and a half well when fifth in the following year=s Oaks and represents a pedigree that is a perfect blend of speed and stamina which is also true of the freakish Deep Impact. Has Shadai Stallion O=Brien admits to being in the dark as to what will come Station=s heir to Sunday Silence created another in his own forward on Saturday, where it will be all about natural ability. image? =s helmsman is not ruling out the thought. Saxon Warrior has been allowed to come forward in his own AWe=ve probably never had a horse to change so much over a time at Rosegreen and although that may not be enough for a as he has--he=s turned into a monster of a horse--big, win against some race-fit and possibly harder-trained peers, it powerful and strong,@ O=Brien said. AHe=s going to run a long way will provide a jumping-off point for what could be a momentous off his 2-year-old weight, but his work is very nice and we are 3-year-old campaign. AWe think he will get further than a mile. It very happy with him.@ will be a nice place to start him and we look forward to him for the rest of the year. He looks a very unusual horse at the moment in how much he has changed from two to three, but we have to start somewhere.@ Whereas Saxon Warrior=s pedigree is a step into a new frontier, Gustav Klimt (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) embodies a THAT SENSE OF ADVENTURE AND time-honoured approach to breeding a true Guineas type. PUSHING THE LIMITS IS WHAT LIES Descending from Prince Faisal=s Prix de Diane heroine Rafha (GB) (Kris {GB}), he is also a mix of sprint and staying class but BEHIND MOST OF THE SCENE- his family is proven time and on the main stage of Europe. CHANGING MOMENTS OF Invincible Spirit (Ire) is in there taking a prominent role and it is his half-sister Massarra (GB) () who is responsible for EUROPEAN RACING. this year=s likely favourite. A speedy and precocious sort for John Dunlop, she generally gets milers at the most but with the influence of Galileo it is highly probable that Gustav Klimt has the ideal blend for victory in this Classic.

KENTUCKY DERBY CHEAT SHEET With horse-by-horse analysis from Ed Derosa, Steve Sherack and Brian DiDonato. Click for Brisnet.com Past Performances

#1 FIRENZE FIRE (Poseidon’s Warrior–My Every Wish, by Langfuhr) - T: J Servis; J: P Lopez. 50-1 ED: The least likely winner in the field. SS: If you're in one of those Derby pools where you need the last-place finisher, he's the one you want. BD: His one-turn form is pretty solid, but he’s clearly not the same horse going longer. Hope to see him this summer in the Jerkens.

#2 FREE DROP BILLY (Union Rags–Trensa, by Giant’s Causeway) - T: D Romans; J: R Albarado. 30-1 ED: Figures to benefit from his stablemate's pacesetting tactics, but a minor award appears the ceiling based on inability to move forward off juvenile season. SS: Was his biggest fan last year, but he just hasn't moved forward enough this season to be a player here. BD: Probably the most disappointing sophomore this year considering how he looked going into the season. Could clunk up for a piece, but can’t win.

#3 PROMISES FULFILLED (Shackleford–Marquee Delivery, by Marquetry) - T: D Romans; J: C Lanerie. 30-1 ED: Will look to shock the world on front end, but will do so without my money at "only" 40- or 50-to-1. SS: Between Dale "living/dying by the sword," and his inside draw, this could be one of the fastest early Derby paces we've seen in some time. BD: Might have an impact early, but won’t be there late.

#4 FLAMEAWAY (Scat Daddy–Vulcan Rose, by ) - T: M Casse; J: J Lezcano. 30-1 ED: One of the longshots that's generated the most buzz given his hard-trying tactics, but he's not for me based on Speed Ratings and inability to win. SS: Won't go down without a fight, but with the projected early pace scenario, hard to envision him sticking around late. BD: Have to respect his consistency, but how does he put away the other close-to-the-pace types and still hold off the closers? Maybe for underneath strictly because he always shows up.

#5 AUDIBLE (Into Mischief–Blue Devil Bel, by Gilded Time) - T: T Pletcher; J: J Castellano. 8-1 ED: The top pick in this heat. His 105-107 Speed Rating double into this when winning the Holy Bull and Florida Derby is just off Justify's 104-114, and I like Audible do better here based on having run at two and pedigree. SS: Despite a pair of very good-looking wins at GP, seeing how he is ridden along early makes me concerned about the type of trip he's going to work out in a 20-horse field. BD: Clearly talented, but his Gulfstream form seems a bit dressed up and not sure he can get the distance–dam was a pure sprinter.

#6 GOOD MAGIC (Curlin–Glinda the Good, by Hard Spun) - T: C Brown; J: J Ortiz. 12-1 ED: Have warmed considerably to champion 2-year-old after figuring him as an underlay all year off his upset Breeders' Cup Juvenile win. Going in right direction for world-class connections. SS: Even if last year's champion 2-year-old is peaking at the right time again (he has looked remarkable in the mornings at Churchill this week), he'll need a pretty decent leap forward off his Blue Grass win. BD: He peaked in his third start last year, and might just be set up for the same here. He has a very good chance to trip out from midpack or so, and should see out the distance just fine. Think he’s the bet. #7 JUSTIFY (Scat Daddy–Stage Magic, by Ghostzapper) - T: B Baffert; J: M Smith. 3-1 ED: Apollo and Storm Cat Curses in play with Justify, as he neither raced as a 2-year-old nor comes from a sire line that has thrown a Kentucky Derby winner (Storm Cat and his sons {and their sons, etc.} are 0-for-51 as sires of Kentucky Derby starters). SS: Everyone knows he's a complete monster and we may not have even seen his best yet. Deserving Derby favorite, well-documented inexperience included. BD: Have learned lesson after California Chrome and American Pharaoh–including defensively.

#8 LONE (Majestic Warrior–Ambitious, by Mr. Greeley) - T: T Amoss; J: J Graham. 50-1 ED: Impossible for me to ignore at 50-to-1 given the jump up last time. Maybe that was an aberration, but as a $100 horse I'll gamble that trainer Tom Amoss has figured this one out--especially given the recent workouts into this race. SS: Couldn't close the door after receiving a dream set-up in the Louisiana Derby and the waters get much deeper here. BD: Improved drastically in the Louisiana Derby, but got a set-up and hung pretty badly after looking like the winner. From an extremely classy female family, but still wonder if he’ll get the distance.

#9 HOFBURG (Tapit–Soothing Touch, by Touch Gold) - T: W Mott; J: I Ortiz Jr. 20-1 ED: Of the horses expected to pay at least $40 I like the Florida Derby runner-up best figuring that if I like the winner of that race why not the runner up at 2x-3x the price? SS: Just seeing these connections go on with this lightly raced homebred makes me want to include him underneath in some capacity. BD: Well-bred colt has been spotted aggressively by Mr. Mott, which certainly merits some attention. Not sure I can jump on the already crowded bandwagon, but wouldn’t want him to knock me out of the multis.

#10 MY BOY JACK (Creative Cause–Gold N Shaft, by Mineshaft) - T: J K Desormeaux; J-K Desormeaux. 30-1 ED: Certainly figures to benefit from the pace and jockey with experience performing well in a tough race, but the Speed Ratings are a notch below. SS: Narrow Lexington winner will be flying in the stretch if Kent D. can keep him in the clear; intriguing longshot for the gimmicks. BD: His late kick is pretty impressive, but he feels like one who won’t be as effective at 10 panels. Reluctantly against.

#11 BOLT D’ORO (Medaglia d’Oro–Globe Trot, by A.P. Indy) - T: M Ruis; J-V Espinoza. 8-1 ED: I keep going back to Silver Charm and Real Quiet in 1997-1998, respectively: a pair of Santa Anita Derby runners up who went on to win the Kentucky Derby. Real Quiet is especially apropos having chased home the inexperienced Indian Charlie at Santa Anita before turning the tables on him at Churchill Downs. SS: Brilliant at two, fast enough to win this and will see a much different set-up than he did in his first two attempts against short fields this term. Too good to pass up at the price. BD: Think he’s one who could benefit from a fuller field (as long as he avoids trouble)–has been forced to chase closer than he wants to in his two 2018 tries. Should relish the distance and is a major contender.

#12 ENTICED (Medaglia d’Oro–It’s Tricky, by Mineshaft) - T: Kiaran McLaughlin; J-J Alvarado. 30-1. ED: One of the longshots more in my mix than others. I loved the Gotham, which does present concerns that he's a one-turn type, but his win at Churchill was around two turns. SS: Other than his KJC score over this course, not sure how you can make a case for him, especially adding more distance here. BD: He did get herded in the Wood, but was ultimately a clear second best. He’ll need too many others to run their B race if he’s get the job done.

#13 BRAVAZO (Awesome Again–Tiz O’ Gold, by Cee’s Tizzy) - T: D W Lukas; J: L Contreras. 50-1 ED: One of the least likely winners of the race and no excuse in the TwinSpires.com Louisiana Derby makes it tough to give a mulligan even at a huge price. SS: As much as I love seeing DWL involved in another Derby, hard to envision this one impacting more than the early pace. BD: Risen Star was a fluke in a merry-go-round race. The rest of his races are hard to like.

#14 MENDELSSOHN (Scat Daddy–Leslie’s Lady, by Tricky Creek) - T: A O’Brian; J: R Moore. 5-1 ED: Breaking one of my rules by supporting a U.A.E. Derby horse, but if anyone can win on a ship it's Aidan O'Brien, who won all over the world last year when setting a record with 28 Grade or Group 1 wins. His last three starts are better than Justify's only three starts. SS: Speed-favoring course or not, his UAE Derby was sensational and he's tactical enough to work out the right trip. By far the best horse we've seen ship from Dubai for the Derby. BD: You’ve got to take stands somewhere, and this is one I’m against, for better or worse. Didn’t really like him in the UAE Derby, and couldn’t have been more wrong, but he was gifted a pretty easy lead that day over a conveyer belt. Respect the connections, but this is a tough task. Bounce candidate. #15 INSTILLED REGARD (Arch–Enhancing, by Forestry) - T: J Hollendorfer; J: D Van Dyke. 50-1 ED: I overrated him after his Lecomte, and he has given me no reason to readjust my reassessment of his talent. SS: His form has really gone the wrong way since early season Lecomte score; don't see it. BD: Seems like underneath is his ceiling, but he should be running on late.

#16 MAGNUM MOON (Malibu Moon–Dazzling Song, by Unbridled’s Song) - T: T Pletcher; J: L Saez. 6-1 ED: I like him least of the Apollo runners (Justify is the other) and least of the Todd Pletcher quartet. I'm unforgiving of the diagonal running he did in the stretch run at Oaklawn. SS: Just can't get past his wandering in the stretch in Arkansas; striking son of Malibu Moon is a reluctant toss for me. BD: Have wavered on him slightly in recent weeks–the drifting in the stretch is a bit of a concern. Won’t let him knock me out of everything, but could see him getting leg weary late.

#17 SOLOMINI (Curlin–Surf Song, by Storm Cat) - T: B Baffert; J: F Prat. 30-1 ED: I've come back around to him as an exotics threat, as I could see connections racing for a check versus win at all costs, and maybe a ground-saving trip gets him in the number. SS: Will beat a bunch of them home, but a little too one-paced to make any serious impact. BD: Runs almost the exact same race every time, but always tends to find one better. Doesn’t feel like a legitimate win chance, but keying him in third and fourth might be a worthwhile play.

#18 VINO ROSSO (Curlin–Mythical Bride, by Street Cry {Ire}) - T: T Pletcher; J: J Velazquez. 12-1 ED: Lots of chatter about Hofburg being the wise guy horse, but if it's possible for a last-out winner to be a wise guy horse then Vino Rosso is it after finally vindicating his connections' faith in his talent with a Wood Memorial score. SS: Finally ran to the billing in the Wood, albeit with a nice set-up. Fear him the most of the Todd Squad. BD: What if he just didn’t love Tampa? Always had tons of promise, and finally put it all together last time. Another step forward at a distance that suits makes him plenty .

#19 NOBLE INDY (Take Charge Indy–Noble Maz, by Storm Booth) - T: T Pletcher; J: F Geroux. 30-1 ED: Probably the one most hurt by post as he's the speediest of the far outside horses and made a nifty rail move on Lone Sailor in the Lousianan Derby, but he definitely won't be getting that here. SS: Couldn't have been more game in tenacious Louisiana Derby tally after attending hot pace; not sure how he survives that kind of trip again though. BD: Still not sure how he won the Louisiana Derby. Feels like he’s probably a cut below the best in here, and not sure what trip he can work out that wins.

#20 COMBATANT (Scat Daddy–Border Dispute, by Boundary) - T: S Asmussen; J: R Santana Jr. 50-1 ED: Similar vibe as Free Drop Billy or My Boy Jack. Conceivable enough could come back to the field that if he runs best of closers he can crash exotics a la stablemate Lookin at Lee last year, but tough to envision enough horses backing up to get a win. SS: Prime cut-back candidate would've been super live in the Pat Day Mile on the undercard. BD: Obviously hasn’t done enough to win, and while he does have the running style to fill out the super or something maybe, he might not want to go this far.

AE: #21 BLENDED CITIZEN (Proud Citizen–Langara Lass, by Langfuhr) - T: Doug O’Neill; J: K Frey. 50-1
