PRINCIPLES PROPEL MOTT WINSTAR'S STABLEMATES RACING LLC OFF TO A FLYING START by Bill Finley TO COURT BATTLE When Well Humored (Distorted Humor) captured last Saturday=s Wayward Lass S. at Tampa Bay Downs some may have looked down at the name of the winning owner and assumed this was just one more stakes victory from the loaded WinStar operation. It was. And it wasn=t. Well Humored is indeed officially owned by WinStar Farm, but she races for WinStar Stablemates Racing LLC. The racing stable represents the next step in the WinStar Stablemates program, which was launched some seven years ago. WinStar Stablemates is a club that allows members inside access to the farm and all things WinStar. AStablemates has always been a fan initiative to help align fans with the farm and give them exposure to the daily goings on at the farm and what the farm is like,@ said WinStar CEO and President Elliott Walden. AWhat we=ve been trying to do is help Bill Mott | Sarah Andrew educate fans and to create enthusiasm for the business.@ (Click to continue to p6) The Week in Review, by T.D.

Click or tap here to go straight to TDN Europe. Bill Mott=s legal crusade against the New York State Gaming Commission (NYSGC) has all the elements of a fight worth following, both from the perspective of the Hall of Fame trainer wanting to clear his own name and for Mott=s stated desire to establish a legal precedent to protect other trainers who similarly believe they have been wronged by the NYSGC=s drug-testing process. Mar. 9 is now the next court date for Mott=s ongoing lawsuit against the NYSGC, which traces back to a pair of medication overages in 2014, but has since escalated into a civil rights case based on the commission=s failure to provide the trainer with split blood samples to defend the allegations made against him. State court action in Mott=s suit had been stayed pending the outcome of his NYSGC hearing report and results order. But that portion of the case reached a regulatory conclusion Jan. 22 when the NYSGC voted to concur with a hearing officer=s recommendation that Mott is responsible for an overage of the therapeutic drug flunixin (Banamine) in Saratoga Snacks (Tale of the Cat), who finished sixth and last at Belmont Park Sept. 20, 2014.

Chapter One of this Tale of the Unexpected came on Mar. 10, HOLY ROMAN EMPEROR & 2007. All appeared to be going particularly well at Ballydoyle, where Holy Roman Emperor reportedly put in a splendid gallop TEOFILO=S RIVALRY that morning, giving Aidan O'Brien plenty of encouragement that it might be third time lucky when the dapper little colt next met Teofilo. Things were less satisfactory over at Coolmore Stud, though. The previous year's G1 2000 Guineas hero >Gorgeous' George Washington (Ire) () had made a busy start to the new stud season, in which his first-season fee was €60,000. The early pregnancy tests of his first mares were coming in thick and fast. That morning the next batch of results arrived. Forty mares had now been tested, and none was in foal. Every day's delay was one delay too many as the mares were lining up, ready to be covered, preferably by a top-class son of Danehill. The decision was taken immediately that Holy Roman Emperor would fill the void. He came straight out of training, and reportedly he covered his first mare later the same day.

Teofilo won the top juvenile race in both England and Ireland, taking the G1 Dewhurst S. at Newmarket and the G1 National S. at The Curragh as the highlights of his unbeaten five-race campaign. Holy Roman Emperor was second to him both times, beaten only a head in the Dewhurst, and when Teofilo wasn't around he generally found winning easy, as he demonstrated in both the G1 Phoenix S. at The Curragh and the G1 Prix Jean-Luc Lagardere at Longchamp. The Dewhurst S. had been everything that a championship contest should be. It confirmed that Teofilo and Holy Roman Emperor were easily the best juveniles in Europe, and that Teofilo was marginally the superior. It also ensured that the following year's 2000 Guineas would be eagerly anticipated. The season's first Classic would be the re-match between the two colts, who each impressed as potentially an outstanding 3-year-old. Even in a sport where we know that things rarely go to the script, though, it still came as a pair of twin bolts from the blue that neither horse ever ran again.

Notable Indian Classic triumphs have come for the stallion courtesy of the Irish-conceived trio Be Safe (Ind), Smashing (Ind) and Mrs Patmore (Ind); while Roman Legend (Ire) landed the Qatar Derby in 2014. Holy Roman Emperor is a truly prolific, truly cosmopolitan stallion, the extent of whose success is best illustrated by the fact that he came in fifth in 2017 among all European-based stallions as regards individual winners worldwide. Dubawi (Ire) topped this table with 160 winners, ahead of Kodiac (Ire) (157), Exceed And Excel (Aus) (147), Dark Angel (Ire) (142), Holy Roman Emperor (Ire) (139) and Galileo (Ire) (138).

The rivalry between Holy Roman Emperor and Teofilo even runs deep in this specific respect. Not only are they adjacent of the international earnings' table for 2017, but their Homecoming Queen | Racing Post winners-to-runners percentages are very similar: Teofilo's figure for the year was 44.59%. With smaller representation (222 HRE & Teofilo=s Rivalry Cont. individual runners in 2017, set against Holy Roman Emperor's total of 308) Teofilo has put together a similarly broad sweep of The latter made a particularly far-reaching contribution to his international glory. sire's CV by taking the GI Santa Anita Sprint Championship when sent from Hong Kong on a raid to California in October 2014. The depth of Holy Roman Emperor's success in Hong Kong is shown by the fact that he is the reigning Champion Sire there. Easily the best son of Holy Roman Emperor conceived in Australia (where the horse initially stood at Coolmore in New South Wales and more recently has been standing at Aquis Farm in Queensland) has been Mongolian Khan (Aus) who completed the G1 New Zealand Derby /G1 AJC Australian Derby double in 2015 and then followed up the following season by taking the G1 Caulfield Cup. A more recent Group 1 winner for Holy Roman Emperor at Caulfield has been Sheidel (Aus), winner of the G1 Oakleigh Plate H. last season. Teofilo | Darley His first Irish crop contained both a champion 2-year-old and a (quasi) >Classic' winner: G1 Dewhurst S. winner Parish Hall (Ire) and G1 Irish St Leger victrix (Ire). His second crop also contained a juvenile Group 1 winner and a Classic winner, both trained (like their sire and like Parish Hall) by Jim Bolger: G1 Criterium International winner Loch Garman (Ire) and G1 winner Trading Leather. Bolger also produced another star from Teofilo's fourth crop when he trained Pleasach (Ire), whom he had bred, to take the G1 Irish 1000 Guineas and G1 Yorkshire Oaks in 2015. Another top 3-year-old for Teofilo had been his second-crop son Havana Gold (Ire), winner of the G1 Prix Jean Prat in 2013 and now established as one of Designs On Rome | HKJC photo Europe's most successful first-season sires of 2017.

Similarly progressive among Teofilo's Irish-bred stock have been Ajman Princess (Ire), Special Fighter (Ire) and Quest For More (Ire) who recorded their first Group 1 triumphs at ages respectively of four, five and six. The real tragedy is that Teofilo's top 3-year-old of 2017 Permian (Ire) won't be around to enhance his record further, following the heart-breaking fatal accident which the super-tough G2 Dante S. and G2 King Edward VII S. hero suffered at the finish of the GI S. at Arlington Park last August. Teofilo and Holy Roman Emperor have been going neck and neck over the past 12 years, firstly on the racecourse and now at stud. Both proved popular in the sale-ring again last autumn. Teofilo's yearlings fetched up to the 280,000gns which the colt Humidor | Darren Tindale out of Amber Silk (Ire) (Lawman {Fr}) realised at the Tattersalls October Sale; while Holy Roman Emperor's yearlings were HRE & Teofilo=s Rivalry Cont. headed by the colt out of Midnight Partner (Ire) (Marju {Ire}) Like Holy Roman Emperor, Teofilo has come up with some top who brought 210,00gns at the same sale.

His first star again during 2018. there was 2014 G1 Queensland Derby winner Sonntag (Aus) and subsequently Kermadec (Aus), Palentino (Aus), Humidor (NZ) and Happy Clapper (Aus) have also scored in Group 1 company. Of these more recent Group 1 winners, only Happy Clapper (winner of this season's G1 Epsom H. at Randwick as a 7-year-old on his 28th start) has merely one Group 1 victory to his name. As this suggests, it is the norm for Teofilo's stock to be very tough and durable. The 5-year-old gelding Humidor, winner CIRCLE BUILDING UNVEILED AT NAAS last season of the G1 Australian Cup, is a perfect example, having put up his best run to date on his 21st start when failing by only half a length to deny Winx (Aus) (Street Cry {Ire}) a third G1 Cox Plate triumph at Moonee Valley in October.
