ASMUSSEN ONSLAUGHT DERBY ATTENDANCE TO BE CAPPED AT 14% CAPACITY ON 2YO STAKES Churchill Downs Racetrack officials have released a detailed 62-page health and safety operations plan that will limit CONTINUES attendance to the 146th running of the GI Kentucky Derby Saturday, Sept. 5 to less than 14% of total capacity from the 2015 attendance record. The Kentucky Derby, first staged in 1875, is the longest continually-held major sporting event in the United States and was originally scheduled for May 5. A record crowd of 170,513 attended the event in 2015. Due to physical distancing protocols and other safety measures in place to mitigate the risks associated with COVID-19, fewer than 23,000 guests are expected Sept. 5 for the rescheduled Kentucky Derby 146. There will be no General Admission this year.

"We will have fewer guests at this year's Derby as reducing the size of the crowd is an important step to ensuring a safe environment. Medical best practices and protocols--many of which we have applied in consultation with experts both inside and outside the sports industry--will be implemented, and we'll make adjustments all the way up to Derby Day as we find ways to improve and continue to adhere to ever-evolving best practices." Churchill Downs' detailed 62-page health and safety operations plan was developed over the last four months in close collaboration with public health experts and other relevant stakeholders. Advice and counsel from the Louisville Metro Health Department along with key elements of Kentucky's Healthy at Work guidance are incorporated throughout the document. This plan will allow Churchill Downs to safely and responsibly host Kentucky Derby Week (Tuesday, Sept. 1 through Saturday, Sept. 5) with a limited number of spectators. The original plan was approved by Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear in late June, and this version exceeds all recommended state and local guidelines and is subject to continued review.

WEST, COOLMORE RESPOND TO DECISION TO WITHHOLD SAUDI CUP PAYMENT

Maximum Security after winning the Saudi Cup | JCSA by Bill Finley Two days after the Jockey Club of Saudi Arabia (JCSA) announced that it was withholding payment of the winner's share of the purse for the $20-million Saudi Cup won by Maximum Security (New Year's Day), the colt's owners issued a statement which called the Saudi's actions something that was unprecedented in the annals of racing.

"If this race is decided by a 'Private Investigator', it will be the first time in the history of horse racing that a 'Private Investigator' will decide the outcome of a horse race," the statement read. "Winning horses are always decided on the racetrack and backed up by post-race testing. If a horse wins the race to the satisfaction of the stewards and passes post-race testing, it is universally accepted that the horse is the winner of the race, with the possible exception of the SAJC." They also said that on two occasions the Saudis asked for their banking numbers, which the owners thought meant a payment was forthcoming. "Shrouding this investigation in a cloak of secrecy is not how to gain the respect of and faith in the international racing community," the statement continued. It also said that the reputations of the Saudi Cup and Maximum Security had been badly tarnished by "these unheard of delays and bizarre circumstances."

WUQOOD A NEW RISING STAR AT GOWRAN TWO-YEAR-OLDS SETTLING Introduced in Gowran Park=s Irish Stallion Farms EBF Maiden ON NEXT TARGETS over a mile on Wednesday, Shadwell=s Wuqood (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}) overcame a wide draw and some smart rivals to earn TDN Rising Star status on debut. Sent off at 12-1, the homebred son of the G2 Blandford S. winner and G1 Epsom Oaks runner-up Tarfasha (Ire) (Teofilo {Ire}) was denied cover the whole way but raced like a true professional in fifth under Oisin Orr. Delivered to gain a narrow lead with a furlong remaining, the chestnut toughed it out to record a short-head verdict over the Joseph O=Brien-trained fellow newcomer Liffey River (Fr) (Lope De Vega {Ire}), a full-brother to Lope Y Fernandez (Ire), with Ballydoyle=s 4-7 favourite Harvard (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}), the half-brother to the GI Breeders= Cup Mile and G1 Queen Anne S. heroine Tepin (Bernstein), 1 1/4 lengths behind in third. AHe=s been showing a nice bit at home, but really smartened up here,@ the winning rider said of the half-brother to the listed winner Rakan (GB) (Sea the Stars {Ire}), who runs in Friday=s G3 Royal Whip.

Tactical is headed to the Prix Morny | Francesca Altoft Cont. p?

Zhang Yuesheng=s Lucky Vega (Ire) (Lope De Vega {Ire}) exited his emphatic victory in Sunday=s G1 Keeneland Phoenix S. in good order, and trainer Jessica Harrington said she is deciding between two potential next targets. AI=m very happy with how he=s come out of the race--he couldn=t be better,@ Harrington said of the colt, who was cut to 16-1 for next year=s G1 2000 Guineas following his 3 1/2-length win. AThere=s the [G1] Middle Park at Newmarket [on Sept. 26] and the National S. at The Curragh [on Sept. 13]--we could stick at six furlongs or step up to seven. We=ll just feel our way and see what comes up.@ Trainer Ken Condon said he is favouring the seven-furlong National S. for Law Of Indices (Ire) (Power {GB}) after his colt ran fourth in the Phoenix. Law Of Indices had previously beaten Wuqood, a son of Tarfasha, wins on debut | racingfotos.com Lucky Vega by a half-length when winning the G2 Railway S. on July 18. AHe just missed the kick--he fluffed his lines at the start a little IN TDN AMERICA TODAY bit,@ said Condon of his colt=s Phoenix run. AIt=s difficult then, especially in a Group 1 six-furlong race where those horses keep WEST, COOLMORE RESPOND TO SAUDI DECISION rolling along and they don=t come back to you. I thought in the Maximum Security’s owners have issued a statement in response to the Jockey Club of Saudi Arabia’s decision to withhold the circumstances he ran very well and came out of the race with a colt’s first-place Saudi Cup prizemoney.
