This Side Up: Happy Days Here Again SATURDAY, JULY 3, 2021 THIS SIDE UP: HAPPY WEST COAST=S FIRST YEARLINGS SHOW CLASSIC POTENTIAL by Katie Ritz DAYS HERE AGAIN While there are certainly some strong contenders vying for this year=s champion 3-year-old colt title, it=s still possible that the future recipient hasn=t yet had his breakout win. Perhaps, he wasn=t even seen in a Triple Crown race. In the past 20 years, two colts have managed to earn the crown for Eclipse Champion 3-Year-Old Male despite having skipped the Triple Crown trail. The first was Arrogate, who did not make his graded stakes debut until his famed 13 1/2-length, record-setting GI Travers. The second came the following year. A $425,000 2015 Keeneland September Sale purchase, West Coast (Flatter--Caressing, by Honour and Glory) broke his maiden early in his sophomore year and then came within a head in the GIII Lexington S. before earning five straight wins.

Click or tap here to go straight to TDN Europe. Godolphin owes Derby wins at both Epsom and the Curragh to colts by Prince Khaled's greatest bequest, Frankel (GB); while its U.S. division laid down a marker of continuity and vitality when Mystic Guide (Ghostzapper) won the G1 Dubai World Cup just three days after its founder's brother was laid to rest in a nearby cemetery. While Sheikh Hamdan's own bloodstock empire, Shadwell, begins to evolve its future strategies under his daughter, Sheikha Hissa, its American arm has been emulating the momentum of Godolphin. (That stable, remember, may be headed by Sheikh Mohammed, but Sheikh Hamdan contributed significantly to its development). Both have a Classic winner apiece, in Malathaat (Curlin) and Essential Quality (Tapit), while last Saturday both also won Grade II prizes within barely an hour, Zaajel (Street Sense) in the Mother Goose S. and Maxfield (Street Sense) in the Stephen Foster S. Malathaat and Zaajel attest to the wisdom of the choice made by Sheikh Hamdan last year, on the retirement from training of Kiaran McLaughlin.

WEST COAST Flatter – Caressing by Honour and Glory 2014 Bay l 16.2 Hands “An Eclipse Award winning champion, West Coast is by an outstanding sire son of A.P. Indy, out of a ChampionTwo-Year-Old Filly. West Coast earned a title as Champion Three-Year-Old Colt with five consecutive victories, four in stakes events, and ran 1-2-3 in six consecutive grade one events, including when capturing the Travers Stakes (G1) and Pennsylvania Derby (G1). He is by Flatter, a leading stallion son of A.P. Indy, and sire of more than 50 stakes winners, and out of Caressing, Champion and Breeders’ Cup (G1) winner at two.“ The offspring of West Coast will be free of Northern Dancer at four generations on their sire’s side, and Flatter has crossed well with a wide variety of broodmare sires from that line. The cross with mares from the Danzig branch of Northern Dancer has been particulary productive with seven stakes winners, including graded stakes winners Classic Point and Mad Flatter out of mares by Langfuhr and Honor Grades (who gives inbreeding to the dam of A.P. Indy), and there are also stakes winners out of mares by War Front – who appears particularly interesting here, giving inbreeding to Relaunch and a full-sister – Danzig Connection, Ghazi and Military (who would be intriguing here).
