Maximum Security wins TVG Pacific Classic (G1) - Eclipse Sportswire photo 8 . 2 7 . 2 0 PAGE 1 Tiz the Law, Maximum Security are Leaders for Longines Breeders’ Cup Classic Glory at Keeneland While there’s still plenty of heavy lifting left, a scintillating matchup between superstar 3- year-old TIZ THE LAW and handicap leader MAXIMUM SECURITY in the Longines Breeders’ Cup Classic (G1) -- which could potentially decide Horse of the Year -- has racing fans eagerly awaiting the 37th Breeders’ Cup at Keeneland Race Course Nov. 6 and 7. Racing’s championship weekend will visit Keeneland in Lexington, Ky., for the second time after a historic first appearance in 2015, and with 14 races and $35 million in purses and awards, as always, the Breeders’ Cup will be a must-see event. The $7 million 1 ¼-mile Classic is the centerpiece and closing act to the two-day Breeders’ Cup extravaganza, and Sackatoga Stable’s Tiz the Law looms a worthy leading actor, as he’s captured the imagination of the racing world with his dominant wins and working-class connections. The New York-bred son of Constitution has been untested in a 4-for-4 campaign this year for trainer Barclay Tagg, which includes easy Grade 1 wins in the Belmont Stakes (G1) in June -- the first leg of this year’s Triple Crown, which was turned upside down due to the Coronavirus pandemic -- along with the Florida Derby at Gulfstream Park in April, and Runhappy Travers at Saratoga Aug. 8. Tiz the Law, who is 6-for-7 lifetime, will look to take the second leg of the Triple Crown in the Kentucky Derby Sept. 5 at Churchill Downs, and his connections have long indicated the Classic is the end of the year goal, even if their colt is successful in Louisville, and in Pimlico’s Oct. 3 “Win and You’re In” Preakness Stakes (G1), which is a newly minted automatic qualifier for the Classic. Gary and Mary West, Michael Tabor, Mrs. John Magnier and Derrick Smith’s Maximum Security, rated No. 1 in the latest Longines Breeders' Cup Classic Rankings, would be a strong Classic favorite any other year, as he’s seemingly as good as ever for new trainer Bob Baffert after being transferred from Jason Servis’ barn in mid-March. The 4-year-old son of 2013 Breeders’ Cup Juvenile winner New Year’s Day earned an automatic starting berth into the Longines Breeders’ Cup Classic with his victory in last Saturday’s “Win and You’re In” TVG Pacific Classic at Del Mar (G1, see race recap below), to go with Del Mar’s July 25 San Diego Handicap (G2) in his first start for Baffert. Maximum Security, who is 10-for-12, also crossed the line first in last year’s Derby before ultimately being placed 17th due to interference off the far turn. He won the inaugural Saudi Cup at King Abdulaziz Racecourse in February before the West’s transferred him to Baffert. A three-time winner of the Longines Breeders’ Cup Classic, Baffert indicated Maximum Security could have one more start before a Classic run, or simply head straight to the race. “I’ll see how he is in a week or so. I could even wait until the Breeders’ Cup,” Baffert said. Should Maximum Security run one more time, a logical spot would be Santa Anita’s Sept. 26 Awesome Again (G1), which also is a “Win and You’re In” for the Classic. Baffert also has WinStar Farm, CHC Inc., and SF Racing’s IMPROBABLE who earned a berth into the Classic with his win in Saratoga’s “Win and You’re In” Whitney on Aug. 1. The 4-year- old son of City Zip went just 1-for-7 at 3 but has taken his game to a new level in his last two starts, as he won the 1 ¼-mile Hollywood Gold Cup (G1) in June at Santa Anita before the Whitney. Improbable, 6-for-13, could prep for the Classic in another qualifier, Belmont’s Oct. 10 “Win and You’re In” Jockey Club Gold Cup (G1). G M B Racing’s TOM'S D'ETAT was upset in the Whitney after blowing the start but rallied to be third and had already earned a starting berth into the Classic when he won Churchill’s “Win and You’re In” Stephen Foster (G2) in June for trainer Al Stall Jr. The 7-year-old son of Smart Strike has gotten better with age and was arguably the best in the division before the Whitney, 8 . 2 7 . 2 0 PAGE 2 though clearly he’ll be given a pass after losing all chance early on. Tom’s d’Etat, who is 11- for-19 lifetime, could prep for the Classic in Keeneland’s Oct. 10 Fayette (G2), a race he won last year. The rest of the handicap division pointing to the Classic include major graded stakes winners BY MY STANDARDS, CODE OF HONOR, and TACITUS with European turf standout BENBATL (GB) also a potential candidate, while the 3-year-olds are clearly in flux, with both the Derby and Preakness still remaining on the calendar. Saratoga’s Sword Dancer to Award Turf Berth The weekend “Win and You’re In” action kicks off Saturday at Saratoga with the $500,000 Sword Dancer (G1), which will award an automatic starting berth into the Longines Breeders’ Cup Turf. Run at 1 ½ miles, the Sword Dancer, which drew eight horses, is led by Woodslane Farm’s homebred SADLER’S JOY, one of the most consistent long-distance turf runners in the U.S. over the past several years for trainer Tom Albertrani. Sadler’s Joy, a 7-year-old son of Kitten’s Joy, has won four graded stakes, including the 2017 Sword Dancer, in a career that has amassed over $2.5 million in earnings. The veteran has also performed quite well in the Longines Breeders’ Cup Turf, running fourth in the race at Del Mar in 2017, third at Churchill Downs in 2018, and prepped for the Sword Dancer with a win (only to be disqualified for stretch interference and placed fourth) in the local Bowling Green (G2) on Aug. 1. Wachtel Stable, R.A. Hill Stable, Gary Barber, and Reeves Thoroughbreds’ CHANNEL MAKER has tangled with Sadler’s Joy for the better part of three seasons and will be back for more for trainer Bill Mott. The 6-year-old son of Breeders’ Cup Turf winner English Channel is 5-for-34 lifetime with over $2.2 million in earnings. He was second in the Sword Dancer in 2018 and fourth last year and enters off a third (moved up from fourth) in the Bowling Green. Augustin Stable’s newcomer CORELLI should attract plenty of support for trainer Jonathan Thomas. The 6-year-old son of 2007 Breeders’ Cup Turf winner English Channel was a close third in the United Nations (G1) at Monmouth Park on July 18 in only his second U.S. start and for Thomas, and is 3-for-12 lifetime. Stakes performers HIGHLAND SKY, PEDRO CARA (FR), AQUAPHOBIA, MARZO and CROSS BORDER also have been entered for the “Win and You’re In” Sword Dancer. Dirt Mile Bid on the Line in O’Brien at Del Mar Later Saturday evening Saturday at Del Mar, the $150,000 “Win and You’re In” Pat O’Brien (G2) will award an automatic starting berth into the Big Ass Fans Breeders’ Cup Dirt Mile (G1). Run at 7 furlongs, the O’Brien drew a field of eight, with Tom Kagele’s C Z ROCKET leading the way for trainer Peter Miller. C Z Rocket, an overnight stakes winner earlier in his career for trainer Al Stall, has been a reclamation this year since being claimed by Miller for $40,000 at Oaklawn Park in April. The 6-year-old son of City Zip is 3-for-3 for his new connections and enters off a win in an optional- claimer at Keeneland July 12. C Z Rocket is 7-for-20 overall and could use the O’Brien as a springboard to not only Dirt Mile, but also the Breeders’ Cup Sprint. Lane’s End Racing and Hronis Racing’s FLAGSTAFF will garner plenty of support for trainer John Sadler. The 6-year-old son of 2004 Breeders’ Cup Sprint (G1) winner Speightstown is 5- 8 . 2 7 . 2 0 PAGE 3 for-13 lifetime. He won Santa Anita’s San Carlos (G2) in March and was recently second to heavyweight McKinzie in Santa Anita’s Triple Bend (G2) June 20. LAW ABIDIN CITIZEN, recently third on Aug. 1 in the Del Mar’s Bing Crosby (G1), a “Win and You’re In” for the Breeders’ Cup Sprint, and local stakes winner VERTICAL THREAT, also are entered for the “Win and You’re In” Pat O’Brien, as are BLAMEITONTHELAW, GIANT EXPECTATIONS, MANHATTAN UP, and P R RADIO STAR. *** Juddmonte International Stakes winner Ghaiyyath (IRE) York Racecourse photo News and Notes Ghaiyyath Secures Breeders’ Cup Challenge Win in Juddmonte International Godolphin’s streaking superstar GHIAYYATH (IRE) demonstrated why he has been the dominant horse in Europe this year when he earned an automatic starting berth into the Longines Breeders’ Cup Classic, capturing York’s Juddmonte International (G1) on Aug.

  • 31 Shades (& Counting) of Derby Gray
    MONDAY, APRIL 26, 2021 CADDO RIVER OUT OF DERBY 31 SHADES (& COUNTING) Shortleaf Stable's 'TDN Rising Star' Caddo River (Hard Spun) OF DERBY GRAY will not make the line-up for Saturday's GI Kentucky Derby after spiking a fever over the weekend. AWe noticed he was off his feed and took his temperature yesterday afternoon. It was slightly elevated,@ trainer Brad Cox said. AIt=s just really bad timing being this close to the Derby. We drew blood on him [Sunday] morning and his white cell counts were a little high. We just can=t run him on Saturday with being a little off his game.@ The defection of the GI Arkansas Derby runner-up will allow GII Remsen S. winner Brooklyn Strong (Wicked Strong) to enter the Derby field. The Mark Schwartz colorbearer, most recently fifth in the Apr. 3 GII Wood Memorial, is scheduled to work at Parx Monday morning for trainer Daniel Velazquez and could ship into Churchill Downs Tuesday morning if all goes well. After sending his Derby quartet out to jog Sunday morning, trainer Todd Pletcher announced a Derby rider for Sainthood Giacomo | Horsephotos (Mshawish). Cont. p6 The Week in Review, by T.D. Thornton IN TDN EUROPE TODAY Gray horses have been in a GI Kentucky Derby rut the past 15 years. No fewer than 31 consecutive grays (or roans) have gone BARON SAMEDI TAKES THE VINTAGE CROP to post without winning on the first Saturday in May (or Baron Samedi won his sixth straight race and stamped himself a potential star of the staying ranks with a win in Sunday’s G3 September) since Giacomo roared home in front at 50-1 in 2005.

  • LONGCHAMP - 04 October
    LONGCHAMP - 04 October Race 1 1. ST MARK'S BASILICA - Third in the G1 Vincent O'Brien National Stakes at the Curragh over 1400m after jumping slowly. Has to be respected as Aidan O'Brien's sole representative. 2. SEALIWAY - Second in the G3 Prix la Rochette over course and distance beaten 1L. The fourth has boosted this form since winning at Listed level. 3. LAWS OF INDICES - Failed to gain a clear run when seventh beaten 5.75L in the G1 1400m Vincent O'Brien National Stakes in Ireland. Previously a G2 winner and could be worth another try. 4. CAIRN GORM - Sixth beaten 5L in the G2 Mill Reef Stakes over 1200m at Newbury. Stepping up in trip. 5. NANDO PARRADO - Second in the G1 Prix Morny over 1200m at Deauville beaten 2L. Previously won the G2 Coventry Stakes at Royal Ascot and holds big claims. 6. LIBERTINE - Won first two career outings before being beaten 2L into fourth in the G3 Prix d'Aumale over 1600m. Proven stamina may be a positive in this. Summary NANDO PARRADO (5) won the G2 Coventry Stakes at Royal Ascot on his second outing. Backed that up when runner-up in the G1 Prix Morny at Deauville over 1200m. Sets the standard despite rise in distance. ST MARK'S BASILICA (1) produced a career best effort when third in the G1 Vincent O'Brien National Stakes over 1408m at the Curragh. Top claims. SEALIWAY (2) managed to deliver a good effort when second at course and distance in the G3 Prix la Rochette.

  • Pinatubo Passes Dewhurst Test Cont
    SUNDAY, 13 OCTOBER 2019 AUGHAMORE ON THE RISE PINATUBO PASSES By Amy Lynam DEWHURST TEST This has been a standout year for Aughamore Stud, both in the sales ring and on the race track. Run by brothers Laurence and Michael Gleeson, the breeding and consigning operation based outside Mullingar in County Westmeath has quietly been making a name for itself by preparing yearlings to the highest level. The Goffs UK Premier Yearling Sale marked a sort of coming of age for the brothers, with many taking notice of the calibre of individuals they had brought to the sale in their third year there. Their draft consisted of three pinhooks. The first-crop Territories colt was bought as a foal by Hamish Macauley and Howson & Houldsworth Bloodstock for 20,000gns, while Macauley signed for a first-crop daughter of Kodi Bear in February for i25,000 and a colt by proven sire Dandy Man cost i35,000 at the same sale. Pinatubo turns back Arizona in the Dewhurst | racingfotos.com From humble beginnings, their pinhooks produced a median of ,80,000 and average of ,66,333--just ,600 off the average By Tom Frary returned by the established and ultra-successful Yeomanstown With the ground riding softer than it had for him throughout Stud.
