Principles Propel Mott to Court Battle MONDAY, JANUARY 29, 2018 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 alleged 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.

    SUNDAY, 22 NOVEMBER 2015 MILITARY ATTACK SWOOPS IN CUP PREP AGA KHAN FAMILIES STAR Along with Designs on Rome (Ire) (Holy Roman Emperor {Ire}), AT GOFFS MARE SALE Military Attack (Ire) (Oratorio {Ire}) and Blazing Speed (GB) (Dylan Thomas {Ire}) represent the three most dominating local figures over the 2000-meter distance, and that pair kept true to form when finishing one-two, respectively, in Saturday’s G2 Longines Jockey Club Cup, the local prep for the G1 Hong Kong Cup Dec. 13. Blazing Speed proved narrowly best over Military Attack in the 2014 running of the Longines Jockey Club Cup, but the 7-year-old, who has had his fair share of age-related problems, turned back the time at least one more time and turned the tables in Saturday’s renewal. The 2012/2013 Horse of the Year off wins in the G1 Queen Elizabeth II Cup and G1 SAI Cup in Singapore, Military Attack won the 1600-meter Sha Tin Trophy H. first-up for five months last year.

Abdullah had raced 118 Group or Grade I winners since entering the game just over 40 years ago, of which he bred 102 of those. He owned stud farms in the UK, Ireland and Kentucky. AThe family has been for some time and still is very committed to keeping Juddmonte as it is going, focusing on the broodmare band, focusing on the homebred operation,@ Erskine Crum told ITV Racing. AOne of the last decisions in which the prince was involved was the matings for this year, in other words where his 200-odd broodmares are going to go.

Cont. p5 Horse transport between Britain and the EU has become much more complicated | Getty Images By Emma Berry While Britain, Ireland and France are competing nations in the racing and breeding world, in recent years the Tripartite Agreement (TPA) has significantly eased the regular interaction between the three, particularly in regard to transporting broodmares and racehorses. The TPA recognised the high health status of Thoroughbreds and allowed for free equine movement between the countries. All that changed, however, when Britain=s departure from the European Union was finalised with the end of the transition period on Dec.
