THIS SIDE UP: CUOMO ANNOUNCES MAJOR CAPACITY INCREASE AT N.Y. TRACKS SOMETHING MISSING IN New York Governor Andrew Cuomo announced a major capacity increase at the state's racetracks and other outdoor THE MODERN DERBY large-scale sports and entertainment facilities Wednesday. The new order, which takes effect May 19, permits venue capacity to as much space as needed to meet the six-feet apart social distancing mandate. Another part of the mandate is that fully vaccinated fans can be spaced next to one another, rather than six-feet apart, in areas that are separate from non- vaccinated patrons. ANYRA joins sports and entertainment venues throughout the state in thanking Governor Cuomo for providing us with the opportunity to dramatically expand capacity beginning on May 19,@ said NYRA's Pat McKenna.

IN TDN EUROPE TODAY Orb winning the 2013 Derby | Horsephotos ARMORY FIRES IN THE HUXLEY By Chris McGrath Armory (Ire) ( {Ire}) has major middle-distance targets ahead of him after capturing Friday’s G2 Huxley S. at Chester. The fastest two minutes in sport? Maybe. Only sometimes, Click or tap here to go straight to TDN Europe. these days, it feels as though time is standing still. Last Saturday we had yet another GI where the protagonists had already volunteered themselves before the clubhouse turn. For the moment, speed seems to have a lock on the race. You have to go back to Orb for a closer; and beyond, for the flamboyant pounces of Calvin Borel. This time round, the first four were all in the first six at the first bend. At the quarter-pole, they were already in their finishing positions. this a horse race, or a procession? The paradox is that while everyone wants to be pressing the pace in the modern Derby, that doesn't seem to involve going especially fast. Once you get your position, it seems you don't have to apply perilous levels of energy to hold it. The most obvious explanation is the starting points system: sprinters are no longer contributing to the pace because they can't earn a gate in two-turn trials. If that's the case, we need to be very careful about what we're doing to the defining examination of the American . Because we may find ourselves hammering our genetic gold into stallion ingots in too cool a forge. Obviously a 20-runner stampede round two turns is a pretty brutal test, by the standards of American racing, and possibly jockeys are now exploiting the dilution of the pace.

Spend A Buck missed two minutes by a fifth after blazing 1:09.6 and 1:34.8. If that was a historic achievement--putting him behind only , Monarchos and -- then the fact remains that only Baffert's lionhearted Bodemeister (Empire Maker) in 2012 has recently posted terror fractions.

But you can't blame the driver for the engine, so perhaps there's another dimension to all this. Perhaps we need to ask whether breeders are limiting the available horsepower?

The whole point of the Derby, as the ultimate measure of the maturing dirt Thoroughbred, is to find an optimal equilibrium between speed and stamina. We talk about "carrying" speed and, in this unique race, that should imply a really punishing burden. It's precisely for that reason, indeed, that I am always complaining about the myopia of contemporary European breeders in largely neglecting dirt stallions. Combing speed and stamina is the grail at Epsom no less than Downs, and those Europeans who claim to be helpless against the Galileo (Ire) dynasty should duly come to the Bluegrass for a solution. After all, I could be wrong, but I always understood Galileo to be the grandson of a horse that won the Kentucky Derby in two minutes flat. As it is, commercial breeders in Europe succumb to a childish dread of stamina and instead pollute the gene pool by mass support of sprint sires without the slightest pretension to Classic quality. But this is a two-way street. If the trademark of a dirt horse is the ability to carry speed, then what do we most admire in a top-class European grass horse? Well, it's a different brand of speed: that push-button acceleration, that turn of foot. Not (GB), funnily enough: I always said he really ran like a dirt horse. But most of those European champions imported by the great Kentucky farms, to seed the modern American Thoroughbred, were classical turf dashers: II (GB), Sir Galahad III (Fr), (Ire), (GB), Sea-Bird (Fr), (Ire). And it appears that the European breeder does not have a monopoly on parochialism. Standing a turf horse in Kentucky is becoming close to impossible, commercially, whether indigenous or imported. If many American breeders nowadays reckon their families can do without the kind of "toe" that distinguished, say, Karakontie (Jpn) or Flintshire (GB), then I guess we had better get used to a deficiency of class in the Kentucky Derby closers--and settle for "speed" horses that don't actually run terribly fast. We need to strive for the best of both worlds. As it is, the benchmark Classics on both sides of the ocean have lately obtained a ceremonial quality: a virtually private contest at Epsom, to establish which of the top half dozen colts at Ballydoyle has most stamina, and a peloton of sharp breakers at Churchill whose pursuers lack the flamboyance to run them down. Two footnotes on the last closer to win the Derby. First, his finish was set up by Palace Malice (Curlin), forced into a white-hot tempo he could not maintain (:22.57, :45.33, 1:09.8). Second, Orb is by a son of a top-class French filly. Her own dam, also a Group 1 scorer, was by French Classic winner Green Dancer-whose own sire, , bears historic witness to the transferability of speed-carrying dirt genes to the European environment.

Bob Baffert with | Coady

But we are where we are. And, that being so, let's hear it for Baffert. Forget bloodlines, here is a genius who is single-handedly impacting the breed--not least, in this context, by loading Quarter Horse speed into his works. If he seldom bothers with turf pedigrees, then at least he's maximizing class and dynamism in the modern dirt horse. There seems to be some kind of nebulous mainstream agenda against Baffert, who has just saddled the first Derby winner with no raceday medication since 1996. But our own community has been too ungenerous to one of the greatest achievers in the sport's long history. Since 2000, Baffert has been recognized by one Eclipse Award as Outstanding Trainer. One! That was in 2015, when he had just ended our 37-year wait for a Triple Crown winner. He's a confident guy and doesn't need to be told how good he is. (Actually I sometimes wonder if something of that rubs off on his horses, too). All the same, he's only human and absolutely entitled to feel affronted by this. With zero disrespect to the fine practitioners honored in the meantime, it's preposterous to suggest that Baffert has been professionally outperformed in 20 of the past 21 years. Of his seven Derbys, he has won now four with horses who came under the hammer at various times--Medina Spirit (Protonico) $1,000 ($35,000 pinhook); Real Quiet (Quiet American) $17,000; War Emblem (Our Emblem) $20,000 RNA; (Silver Buck) $16,500 ($100,000 pinhook)--for a grand total of $54,500 between them. Maybe that's why Baffert is resented. He has made it impossible for other horsemen to complain that all they lack is opportunity. By the same token, the greatest achiever of his generation has given everyone hope, wherever they are starting out. And that deserves gratitude from us all.

NYRA welcomed fans back to Belmont Park this past Saturday for the first time in 552 days, and we will soon release additional ticket inventory for the 2021 to reflect this new guidance and safely welcome even more fans to one of racing=s biggest days on June 5.@ The announcement came just one day prior to tickets going on sale for the June 5 GI Belmont S. It was also just four days after Belmont opened to fans for the first time in over a year May 1 under an order that announced 20% capacity in mid-April. The increase in capacity also comes in plenty of time for the ultra- popular Saratoga meet. AAs Governor Cuomo announced, it=s now possible for stadiums and racetracks to open sections at 100% capacity by requiring all spectators within those areas to be vaccinated,@ McKenna said. ASaratoga Race Course is an ideal venue to implement just that approach for the benefit of our fans, the upstate economy and the thoroughbred racing industry in New York State.@ He continued, AWhile we determine exactly how this guidance will apply to Saratoga Race Course, which offers a wide variety of differentiated sections and seating options, we are tremendously optimistic about the 2021 summer meet.

RISK TAKING, UNBRIDLED HONOR ADDED TO PREAKNESS by Christina Bossinakis

Risk Taking | Joe Labozzetta

Next weekend's GI Preakness S. continues to take shape as GSW Risk Taking (Medaglia d'Oro) and Unbridled Honor (Honor Code) are expected to be added to the fray during Monday's draw at Pimlico. Winner of the GIII Withers S. in February, Risk Taking had been initially tabbed to contest the nine-furlong GIII Peter Pan S. at Belmont Saturday, but has been rerouted to join his Klaravich Stables stablemate, Crowded Trade (More Than Ready), in the second jewel in the Triple Crown. Chad Brown trains the for Baltimore native Seth Klarman, who was the co-owner of Brown=s 2017 Preakness winner Cloud Computing. AAfter a couple of lengthy discussions with Mr. Klarman, we feel that this horse is better around two turns,@ Brown told the Preakness notes team. AThat, along with the defections, it just seemed like a good opportunity to take a chance with the horse.@ Continued Brown, AI know he is the morning-line favorite for the Peter Pan and we are giving that up, but the reward is: if we are able to get lucky in this race and have him run the race of his life and potentially win or be right there, it=s a huge purse. Along with that, it=s a little better for him around two turns with the extra distance. Of course, it=s a tougher race, but it just came down to a risk-and-reward situation and getting the opportunity to try him around two turns.@ TDN HEADLINE NEWS • PAGE 8 OF 17 • THETDN.COM SATURDAY • MAY 8, 2021

The Preakness will be Risk Taking=s first start since he finished seventh as the 2-1 favorite in the Apr. 3 GII Wood Memorial at Aqueduct. He broke his maiden at the Big A in December prior to his Withers score. AOur optimism is really based on being able to confidently draw a line through the Wood,@ Brown said. AIf we do that, and if he was to move forward off his previous two races, another step forward, finishing strong at a mile and three-sixteenths, it could potentially put him in the trifecta or maybe better.@ Jose Ortiz will ride the Risk Taking in the Preakness. Newly-minted Hall of Famer also confirmed Whisper Hill's Unbridled Honor will take aim at the Preakness, the only Classic which the 53-year-old has yet to win. A narrow winner in his third career start going just over a mile at Tampa in February, the colt was fourth in the GII Tampa Bay Derby before a runner-up finish in the GIII Lexington S. at Keeneland Apr. 10. AHe=s a horse that we=ve always had high hopes for,@ Pletcher said Friday. AHe=s always trained really well and he=s still sort of putting it all together in race situations. We thought he made a move forward in the Tampa Derby when he ran a sneaky-good fourth and was finishing arguably the best of anyone in the field. He came back and was second-best in the Lexington. That was another improving effort.@ The grey will be Pletcher=s 10th Preakness runner and his first since Kentucky Derby winner Always Dreaming (Bodemeister) finished eighth in 2017. His best finish was a third with his first starter, Impeachment, in 2000. Unbridled Honor will have his final Preakness work Saturday morning and is scheduled to ship from Belmont Park to Pimlico on Tuesday. Pletcher indicated that the 1 3/16-mile race could provide an ideal scenario for the colt. AWe like the way he=s training and if he could get a decent pace up front to run at, we feel that if he can take another step forward and he=s in the mix,@ Pletcher said. will replace Julien Leparoux in the saddle for the Preakness, his first mount on the colt. AWe=ve had a lot of luck with Luis,@ Pletcher said. AHe=s riding great and we=re happy to have him.@ In related Preakness news, Hall of Fame trainer D. Wayne Lukas told Maryland Jockey Club racing officials Friday that Christina Baker and William Mack=s Ram (American Pharoah) has not been ruled out and he expects a decision to be made Saturday.
