Obviously, it=s disappointing and devastating news,@ Drew Couto, Hollenderfor=s attorney, said Friday. AHe=s exceedingly disappointed. He did not see it coming.@ Couto said that he was unable at this time to publicly speculate as to what might happen to the horses Hollendorfer intended to run under his name at the Breeders= Cup. AAs one might imagine, there are many moving pieces, and so, we need to sit down, calmly digest everything that has gone on, and take whatever steps are necessary so that Jerry=s clients are not unnecessarily and inadvertently penalized as a result of the Breeders= Cup=s decision,@ Couto said. The decision of the Breeders= Cup, Couto added, is the consequence of a Aflawed process,@ in that the trainer has yet to receive the Adue process@ afforded him legally. Indeed, in court filings prior to Wednesday=s hearing at the Los Angeles Superior Court, representatives for TSG argued that Hollendorfer has been given Athe provision of Fair Procedure@ at a meeting at Santa Anita Sept. 12 attended by Hollendorfer and his legal team, along with representatives from TSG and the California Thoroughbred Trainers. Hollendorfer=s position, Couto told the TDN Wednesday, is that the September meeting doesn=t constitute Afair procedure@ because it didn=t occur before the trainer was barred from Santa Anita=s grounds in June. AThis is why we have been so devoted to the notion of fair process and procedure,@ Couto explained Friday. AIt hasn=t occurred yet, and this is the consequence of it. Unfortunately. It=s punitive on Jerry, and it=s punitive on his clients, and it=s a black eye for the industry. Terrible.@ DAM OF EIGHT RINGS SUPPLEMENTED TO KEENOV Purely Hot (Pure Prize--Wood Not, Kissing Kris), the dam of Grade I winner Eight Rings (Empire Maker), has been supplemented to Book 1 of the Keeneland November Sale. The 11-year-old mare is in foal to Union Rags and sells as Hip 274G with Taylor Made. AWe are excited to offer another exceptional broodmare in Purely Hot,@ WinStar Farm President, CEO and Racing Manager Elliott Walden said. ATwo years ago, we sold the dams of four Grade I winners at Keeneland and hope to replicate their success.@ Purely Hot won 12 races, including the GIII Whimsical S., and earned $426,905.
