Patricke were together at Newcastle Farm in Florida, then they Barbe, spokesman for Danedream=s part-owner Teruya both went to Todd Pletcher at the same time, they Yoshida, told the Racing Post, AThe horse that tested were my first two horses in the [2010 GI] Breeders' positive was stabled far away from Danedream and is Cup [Juvenile] and they had there 3-year-old campaigns not one of Peter Schiergen=s horses. It was only one together. I am so fortunate to own one horse of this positive test and that horse has been removed from the caliber, never mind two in the same crop.@ area, but the stables in and around the racecourse have Runner up in the GI Hopeful S. at two, the bay had to be quarantined. Danedream is in perfect health, returned the following year to annex the GIII Gotham S. cantering well and eating well and is not involved at all in addition to back-to-back victories in the GII Jim in this, but we must abide by the decision of the Dandy S. and the GI Travers S. During his sophomore German authorities. In my opinion, her prospects of campaign, he also finished a close-up second in the traveling are only very small, but we are awaiting GI Belmont S. In his best start this term, the colt found official news from the authorities.@ only Flat Out (Flatter) a head too good in last Saturday=s GI Jockey Club Gold Cup at Belmont. AStay Thirsty has it all,@ said Ashford Stud Manager Dermot Ryan. AA very fast 2-year-old, he was brilliant at three and at Belmont on Saturday [in the JC Gold Cup], he showed he retains all his ability. He=s by a much sought after stallion in Bernardini and he=s out of a real blue hen mare in Marozia who has produced three Grade 1 horses and invariably gets great-looking stock. He=s a great addition to our roster.@ According to Repole, the options for Stay Thirsty=s final racetrack appearance are the GI Breeders= Cup Classic or the GI Breeders= Cup Mile--both at Santa Anita Nov. 3--or the GI Cigar Mile Nov. 24. AHe came out of the race really well,@ said Repole of Stay Thirsty=s latest performance. AHe=s going to go back to training [Tuesday], will have his first official work back in about two weeks and then we will decide which race we think is the best fit.@ cont. p3 You can also pick up a copy of the TDN today at the Goffs Orby Yearling Sale.

Stay Thirsty, a $500,000 Fasig-Tipton February juvenile purchase in 2010, ran from two through four, finishing in the money in 10 of 16 lifetime starts just over $1.7 million in earnings to date. Conditioned by Todd Pletcher, the bay is a half-brother to graded stakes winner and Grade I placed Andromeda=s Hero (Fusaichi Pegasus) and Grade I placed Superfly (Fusaichi Pegasus). AThere was a point in time when Stay Thirsty was definitely the best 3-year-old in the country,@ commented Pletcher, who was trained both Stay Thirsty and Uncle Mo. AHis performances in both the Travers and the Jim Dandy were right out of the top drawer. He=s a very good looking horse and he put in a very good work so we had to go to $500,000 to get him as a 2-year-old.@ Regarding the decision to stand Stay Thirsty at Ashford, Repole added, A[Stay Thirsty and Uncle Mo] mean so much to myself, my friends and my family. To know that they will be together again, for me it just felt right. There were many incredible Kentucky farms that were interested in Stay Thirsty. If I could have mapped out a dream scenario for these two horses, it would have played out that they both stand at the same stallion farm. It=s played out that way. When I go to Kentucky, I can make one visit and see both of them in stalls next to each other.@ ? ? ? With two of its highest profile runners to date already retired or immanently so, the Repole Stable looks ahead with two of its latest, up-and-coming stars-- Micromanage (Medaglia d=Oro) and Overanalyze (Dixie Union), who captured the GII Futurity S. at Belmont last Saturday. Repole confirmed that Micromanage will be entered in both the GI Champagne S. at Belmont and Delaware=s Dover S., both scheduled for Oct. 6. Plans have yet to be finalized for Overanalyze. Repole also expects juveniles Coconut Shrimp (Giant=s Causeway) and Notacatbutallama (Harlan=s Holiday) to start within the next two weeks, before finalizing where his juvenile team will be heading. AWe need to sort them out,@ admitted Repole. AThat cross country trip [to Santa Anita for the Breeders= Cup] is a lot. I am probably overanalyzing the decision, if you want to put it that way, and I will have a lot of sleepless nights. We=ll either make a decision individually or as a group. We=ll see.@ With Stay Thirsty=s career winding down and the barn=s youngster=s making plenty of noise on the track, Repole admitted he was left with mixed emotions. AStay Thirsty=s loss in the Jockey Club Gold Cup will probably take another three weeks and 40 hours of therapy to get over, but I know how fortunate I am,@ he said. AThere are people in the game that have been in it a lot longer and have spent more money than I have that haven=t had the type of success I=ve had. I feel very blessed to have two horses like Micromanage and Overanalyze, which are probably among the top 20 2- year-olds in the country. I wouldn=t trade places with anyone.@ P TDN HEADLINE NEWS • 10/2/12 • PAGE 4 of 9 • thoroughbreddailynews.com BLACK-TYPE PREVIEWS Wednesday, Hoppegarten, Germany, post time: 4:35 p.m. WESTMINSTER 22ND PREIS DER DEUTSCHEN EINHEIT-G3, €80,000, 3yo/up, 1 1/4mT SC PP HORSE SIRE JOCKEY TRAINER WT 1 9 Durban Thunder (Ger) Samum (Ger) Havlin P Harley 130 2 2 Freemason (Ger) Second Set (Ire) Bojko Dzubasz 130 3 4 Lindenthaler (Ger) Azamour (Ire) Starke P Schiergen 130 4 6 Ostinato (Ger) Ransom O'War Kerekes Kovacs 130 5 5 Russian Tango (Ger) Tertullian Pedroza Wohler 130 6 8 Technokrat (Ire) Oratorio (Ire) Pietsch Hickst 130 7 7 Violante Kingmambo Veron Pantall 127 8 1 Pastorius (Ger) Sldier Hollow (GB) de Vries M Hofer 126 9 3 Wasimah (Ger) Desert Prince (Ire) Panov Groschel 122 RESULTS Sunday, Hipodromo de Monterrico, Peru CLASICO ENRIQUE AYULO PARDO-G1, $86,289, 9-30, Hipodromo de Monterrico, 3yo, f, 2000m, 2:09.80, ft.
