KEENELAND LAUNCHES NADAL RETIREMENT LEAVES 'CLASSICS' CLINGING TO STATUS by Chris McGrath DIGITAL PLATFORM; So that's why they had to split the GI Arkansas Derby. One division apiece for Kipling's "twin imposters,"--Triumph and SELECT HORA SALE JUNE 23 Disaster. Though we've all felt otherwise, from time to time, Lady Luck is as proportionate as she is indiscriminate in her dealings with . If Bob Baffert is better placed to absorb the loss of a servant as talented as Nadal (Blame), only a barn of such depth could have achieved the level of Triumph, in the first place, to have meanwhile registered a commensurate sequel of Disaster. It's not the place of an idle bystander to presume how a Hall of Fame trainer received the consecutive bolts from the blue that this week struck his twin Oaklawn winners. Apart from anything else, the apparent violation that menaces Charlatan (Speightstown) with disqualification shouldn't even be in the public domain, pending a second test. Cont. p4

Ignorance of the inside story, however, did not prevent us all from sharing Baffert's next disappointment, in the injury to Nadal--and not simply because we were all looking forward to learning which of his three meteors (not to neglect Authentic {Into Mischief}) would eventually claim the unbeaten record of the other two. Because this is just the first big debit forced upon the whole sport, both now and when future generations go through the annals, by the postponement of the GI Kentucky Derby to September. No point, I guess, in reprising yet again how Churchill Downs lobbed that grenade, without consultation, into the rest of the calendar. We must now just be more grateful than ever that Nadal at least had the chance to contest a 9-furlong Derby on the first Saturday in May. The mental and physical maturity he displayed in Hot Springs might well have sufficed, in a normal year, to have won the race he would otherwise have contested that day.

Nadal and Joel Rosario | Coady Oaklawn's superior engagement with the sport's wider needs would arguably have been still more gratifying had they not diluted their Derby with a division. To whatever extent this may have reflected Charlatan's marginal claims to a gate--and clearly there were other valid factors--the upshot may now be the elevation of Basin (Liam's Map), thrashed six lengths into second, to formal parity with Nadal.

SERENITY AND GRACE by Diana Pikulski In 2018, Wendy Cyr wasn't quite ready to get another horse but often scanned the available off-track Thoroughbreds on the Thoroughbred Adoption Network. This time was different. She came to a dark gray one-eyed mare named Cosmic Serenity (Cosmonaut- Gracefully Done) aka Serena, listed by ACTT Naturally. Cyr's last horse was a gray mare named Serena who had to be euthanized at age 20 and her childhood mount was an off-track Thoroughbred with one eye who took her through pony club. She showed the post to her husband. "My husband said to me, 'if you don't go meet her, you will never know,'" said Cyr. "It felt like the universe was telling me something."

Because of her calm demeanor and attachment to me, she was fine without a companion while I searched for the right match. I have two small grandkids so I was trying to decide how that may factor into my decision." "It was shortly before Mother's Day and I just started thinking about Serena's mother, Gracefully Done. I did some research and found her in Paris, Kentucky at Brandywine Farm," said Cyr. "I sent them an email saying I was just curious about how the mare was doing and I received a phone call from Pam Robinson." Gracefully Done (Deputy Commander) turned 19 in January. She ran six times for Flying Z Stable and never hit the board.

AAfter getting to know Wendy on the phone and seeing pictures of her horse, I offered to allow her to take the mare. I would not have let her go if I wasn't confident that Wendy was going to give her a forever home." Cyr wasn't confident that she could get the mare all the way from Kentucky to Connecticut where racehorse shippers don't often go.

With the familiar territory of hotel reservations and restaurant dining out of the question, O=Kelly devised an adventurous alterative: a campervan journey.

AGoing from farm to farm to farm, I could carry something from one farm to another so we=ve got to be responsible.@ O=Kelly said breeders across Europe have expressed similar concerns about the health of the market, but he said there is also a prevailing sense of perseverance.

MURPHY TO RIDE MILLISLE IN GUINEAS SCOTTISH RACING BACK ON JUNE 22 Scottish racing is making plans to resume on June 22 behind closed doors with a meeting at Ayr. A provisional list of Scottish fixtures has been published through August, and discussions are taking place between Scottish Racing and the Scottish Government to support the fixtures as Scotland plans to exit lockdown. With racing still expected to begin again in England on June 1, the British Horseracing Authority has released further details on the screening processes for personnel planning to attend race meetings. As part of the declaration process, trainers and their staff must complete online education modules and health questionnaires and on-course screening. A guide to completing the requirements can be found here.

Millisle after winning the Cheveley Park Stud S. | Racing Post Trainer Jessica Harrington has booked Oisin Murphy to ride Millisle (Ire) (Starspangledbanner {Aus}) in next weekend=s G1 1000 Guineas, Racing Post reports.

"Shane [Foley] can't ride Millisle so I've gone and booked Oisin Murphy good and early for her,@ Harrington told Racing Post. AI'm not slow out of the gates, you know. I've been thinking ahead." Harrington added, "Millisle heads to the 1000 Guineas at Newmarket and I see no reason why she won't stay a mile. Her breeding suggests she will get it anyway.
