TUESDAY, MARCH 19, 2019 IN FLANDERS FIELDS THE POPPIES GROW PIONEEROF THE NILE by Earle Mack DEAD AT 13 In the wake of the death of 22 Thoroughbreds at Santa Anita, Belinda Stronach and The Stronach Group have taken the bold action to ban race-day Lasix, including more stringent regulations on painkillers and more transparency in veterinary records. I believe these reforms, implemented correctly, will substantially enhance the sport=s integrity, and by extension the very future of horse racing. For the past 50 years, as an owner, breeder, administrator and operator, the use of Lasix has been one of the most controversial and complex topics that has faced the sport of Thoroughbred racing. These reforms have been proposed before and are under attack again today. In the history of racing, many advocates of reform have been laid to rest in a veritable "Flanders Fields" of heroes. Cont. p10 Pioneerof the Nile | WinStar photo IN TDN EUROPE TODAY Multiple Grade I winner and star stallion Pioneerof the Nile (Empire Maker--Star of Goshen, by Lord At War {Arg}), perhaps STAKEHOLDERS POSITIVE AHEAD OF BREEZE-UPS best known for siring 2015 Triple Crown winner American Kelsey Riley speaks with industry stakeholders regarding the upcoming European breeze-up sales season.

According to the farm, Pioneerof the Nile bred a mare Monday morning and started acting uncomfortable once he was back in his stall. He was en route to the clinic when he died. AWe are all extremely saddened by the loss of Pioneerof the Nile,@ said WinStar Farm=s Elliott Walden. AHe was a superior physical specimen, a Triple Crown sire, and a unique personality. All of us at WinStar are heartbroken.@ Bred and owned by Zayat Stables during his racing career, Pioneerof the Nile won both the 2008 GI CashCall Futurity and 2009 GI Santa Anita Derby and was runner-up in the GI Kentucky Derby later that spring. He entered stud at Vinery in 2010 and spent three years there before transferring to WinStar in 2013. He was a perennially among the leading sires and was represented by Eclipse 2-Year-Old champion Classic Empire in 2016. Ahmed Zayat made his first foray into horse racing in 2005 and Pioneerof the Nile was at the forefront of his family=s breeding operation. It was that year that Zayat purchased his first broodmare, Star of Goshen, carrying the future Grade I winner.

Lewis S. and GII San Felipe S. before heading to Louisville with a one-length victory in the Santa Anita Derby. The dark bay looked like a likely winner at the head of the Churchill stretch on the first Saturday in May, but was passed late by longshot Mine That Bird. Pioneerof the Nile was eased in the GI Preakness S. and was retired that July with a soft tissue injury to his left front leg. Pioneerof the Nile began his stud career at Vinery in 2010 before moving to WinStar in 2013. His initial stud fee at WinStar was $15,000. By 2019, with the stallion already represented by four champions and 11 graded stakes winners, it had soared to $110,000. In addition to American Pharoah and Classic Empire, Pioneerof the Nile was also represented on the track by 2016 GI Shoemaker Mile S. winner Midnight Storm and 2014 GII Holy Bull S. winner Cairo Prince.

    Check out my free “Kentucky Derby Preview” at californiawinning.com (“Free Daily Selections”) and ALSO appended to the end of this document. In addition, on Friday afternoon, I will be posting my detailed Graded Analysis for all of the horses in the Derby, analyzing every horse’s chances. If you wish to buy the detailed, complete Kentucky Derby analysis, including the pros and cons of all starters, please go to “Today’s Full Racing Card” and transmit $10 to my PayPal account. I will then forward the full Kentucky Derby analysis to you by electronic mail. Thank you… _____________________________________________________ SANTA ANITA (THE GREAT RACE PLACE) Friday, May 5, 2017 FOR AMUSEMENT---AND NOT BEMUSEMENT---ONLY!!! (Of course, these are recommendations only, and there are no guarantees in this sport, but that is what generates its mystique. And so, please follow your own heart and mind, considering me as a mere advisor, when making your selections. In any event, I do wish you all the best in your quest to “predict the future,” because it ain’t easy. And remember, horses, just like us, have aches and pains, headaches, suffer fatigue, etc. Try not to get mad at me, I usually have excellent days, occasionally, not-so-excellent days: with all of the informative past performance data we handicappers have in front of us, we have no idea how a particular horse feels at race time. By way of example, maybe that 50/1 colt is in a big hurry because he has a hot fillie waiting for him back at the barn…so please stick with me if there are a few “speed-bumps” along the way.) This analysis is prepared under the reasonable assumption that (i) all turf races will be run on a “firm” turf track, and (ii) all dirt races will be run on a track graded “fast.” Should different conditions exist at post time for a given race, please temper these selections with your own best judgment in light of less-than ideal conditions.
