Cup World Championships Newsletter October 22, 2020 C OUNTDOWN TO THE BREEDERS’ CUP WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS NEWSLETTER Advisory: This is the last of nine weekly news releases focusing on the horses and races leading to the 37th Breeders’ Cup World Championships on Friday, November 6 and Saturday, November 7 at Keeneland. For more information, please visit BreedersCup.com. The Breeders’ Cup will be televised live on NBC and NBCSN. You can follow all the contenders’ activity leading up to the Breeders’ Cup with Equibase’s free “Road to the Breeders’ Cup” Virtual Stable notification service. A Classic for the Ages Highlights 37th Breeders’ Cup All roads lead to Lexington. With every major prep and every “Win and You’re In” Breeders’ Cup Challenge Series race in the rearview mirror, the 37th Breeders’ Cup at Keeneland Race Course in Lexington, Ky. is in full focus as racing’s World Championships beckon Nov. 6-7. Although there are 14 races and more than $31 million in purses and awards at stake, the $6 million Longines Breeders’ Cup Classic (G1) will garner the most attention. This year’s Classic figures to not only decide Horse of the Year, but is shaping up as one of the very best in the race’s long and storied history. (Pre-Entered fields for all 14 Breeders’ Cup World Championships races will be announced live on Wednesday, Oct. 28 at 11:30 a.m. ET on TVG and streamed on BreedersCup.com) The Classic, at 1 ¼ miles, has long been a melting pot where younger stars test their elders on racing’s biggest stage. This year’s renewal only exemplifies that, as leading 3-year-olds AUTHENTIC and TIZ THE LAW are set to clash with distinguished veterans IMPROBABLE, MAXIMUM SECURITY, and TOMS D’ETAT, with a lot more than purse money on the line. The 1 0 . 2 2 . 2 0 PAGE 1 outcome of the Classic will likely decide not only Horse of the Year, but two 2020 divisional titles: 3-Year-Old Male and Older Dirt Male. The depth and quality of the Classic makes the favorite tough to decipher, but Sackatoga Stable’s Tiz the Law could be a tepid public choice off his overall body of work, which includes dominant Grade 1 wins in the Florida Derby at Gulfstream Park in March, the Belmont Stakes in June, and Travers at Saratoga in August. The son of Constitution was second at 7-10 in the Kentucky Derby (G1) on Sept. 5 for trainer Barclay Tagg. Tiz the Law was held out of the “Win and You’re In” Preakness, a Classic qualifier, after exiting the Derby with minor body stiffness. Tiz the Law, who is 6-for-8 lifetime, with both losses coming at Churchill Downs, has breezed four times at Belmont since the Derby, including 6 furlongs in 1:12.26 on Oct. 16. Runhappy Travers Stakes Winner Tiz the Law @Eclipse Sportswire photo “He went really well,” Tagg said of the breeze. “This was probably his most important work leading up to the Breeders’ Cup. I want to get a couple of breezes into him at Keeneland. How fast those will be I’ll determine as I see how he’s feeling and how he’s doing as he goes along. The main thing is for him to get used to that track and the surroundings. We’re just trying to take every precaution we can before the big race.” Tiz the Law arrived at Keeneland last Sunday evening following a trip by van from New York. Tagg wanted him to get there early to acclimate to the main track in the colt’s quest for Horse of the Year, and to become the 13th 3-year-old to win the Classic. 1 0 . 2 2 . 2 0 PAGE 2 Spendthrift Farm, MyRaceHorse Stable, Madaket Stables, and Starlight Racing Stable’s Authentic upset Tiz the Law in the Derby, and is part of a three-pronged attack, with Improbable and Maximum Security, that will attempt to give trainer Bob Baffert his fourth Classic win. The son of Into Mischief earned a berth into the race when he won Monmouth Park’s “Win and You’re In” TVG.com Haskell (G1) in July and was second, beaten a neck, by SWISS SKYDIVER in the Oct. 5 Preakness, also a Classic qualifier. Authentic is 5-for-7 lifetime and is another who would lock up Horse of the Year with a Classic win. WinStar Farm, China Horse Club International Ltd., and SF Racing’s Improbable leads a sensational trio of older horses. The 4-year-old son of City Zip qualified for a Classic in a pair of Grade 1 “Win and You’re In” races this summer; Saratoga’s Whitney in August and over stablemate Maximum Security in the Awesome Again at Santa Anita Sept. 26. Improbable, who has won 7-for-14 career starts, including the Hollywood Gold Cup (G1) at Santa Anita in June, would clinch both Horse of the Year and Older Dirt Male as well with a victory in the Classic. Gary and Mary West, Michael Tabor, Derrick Smith, and Mrs. John Magnier’s Maximum Security earned a free berth into the Classic when he won Del Mar’s “Win and You’re In” TVG Pacific Classic (G1) in August. The 4-year-old son of 2013 Breeders’ Cup Juvenile winner New Year’s Day is 10-for-13 lifetime, including the inaugural Saudi Cup (G1) at King Abdulaziz Racecourse in February. He is yet another who could secure a pair of Eclipse Awards with a win. Baffert sent out all three stars for works at Santa Anita this past weekend, with Authentic going 5 furlongs in 59.80 and Improbable going 6 furlongs in 1:12.40 on Oct. 17, while Maximum Security went 59.80 a day later. Baffert said of Maximum Security, “I think that was the best he’s ever worked.” All three horses will likely work twice more over the next two weekends at Santa Anita before leaving for Kentucky. G M B Racing’s Tom’s d’Etat, who qualified for the race when he captured the “Win and You’re In” Stephen Foster (G2) at Churchill Downs in June, could also be in line for some divisional hardware with a Classic win. The 7-year-old son of Smart Strike is 11-for-19 lifetime for trainer Al Stall Jr., but has not run since finishing third in the Whitney at even-money, after being eliminated due to a disastrous start. Tom’s d’Etat also won the Oaklawn Mile in April. 1 0 . 2 2 . 2 0 PAGE 3 Swiss Skydiver edges Kentucky Derby winner Authentic in the “Win and You’re In” Preakness @Eclipse Sportswire photo A pair of game-time decisions with the 3-year-olds SWISS SKYDIVER and HAPPY SAVER could impact the already deep Classic field. Trainer Kenny McPeek is considering his options with Peter Callahan’s filly Swiss Skydiver. The well-traveled Swiss Skydiver qualified for the Classic when she edged Authentic in the Preakness, some six weeks after she earned a berth in the Longines Breeders’ Cup Distaff (G1) with a victory in Saratoga’s “Win and You’re In” Alabama (G1). Zenyatta, in 2009 at Santa Anita, is the only female to win the Classic. Wertheimer et Frere’s homebred Happy Saver, who earned a berth into the race when he won Belmont Park’s “Win and You’re In” Jockey Club Gold Cup (G1) for trainer Todd Pletcher, is also under consideration. Graded stakes-winning older horses BY MY STANDARDS, GLOBAL CAMPAIGN, HIGHER POWER, and MIDCOURT are also pointing to the Longines Breeders’ Cup Classic, while TITLE READY is possible.

Fipke Monomoy Girl Goes for Her Second Longines Distaff Michael Dubb, Monomoy Stables, The Elkstone Group, and Bethlehem Stables’ MONOMOY GIRL, who won the Longines Breeders’ Cup Distaff at Churchill Downs in 2018, will try to add to her Hall of Fame resume when she starts as the favorite in this year’s renewal. Run at 1 1/8 miles, the $2 million Distaff would be a remarkable story should the 5-year-old daughter of 2012 Breeders’ Cup Dirt Mile winner Tapizar double up, as she missed her entire 4-year- old season after a bout of colic and a pulled muscle. Monomoy Girl, who is 12-for-14 lifetime, with six Grade 1 wins, is 3-for-3 this year, including Churchill’s La Troienne (G1) Sept. 4. Just how strong a favorite Monomoy Girl will be depends on whether Swiss Skydiver runs in the race.

    THURSDAY, 19 NOVEMBER 2020 BALLYHANE STUD RELEASES 2021 FEES ETREHAM BUYS INTO Ballyhane Stud, home to five stallions, has released its fees for WONDERFUL MOON 2021, with newcomer Sands Of Mali (Fr) set to stand at i6,500.

Ballyhane Sud owner Joe Foley said of his stalwart Dandy Man, "Our flagship stallion has had another stellar season with another Grade I-winning colt in River Boyne (Ire) and four stakes-winning 2-year-olds including the explosive Royal Ascot winner Dandall (Ire). His stock continue to be highly sought after in the sales ring and, with the quality of his next crops continuing to rise, his future looks very secure." He continued, "Elzaam's breakthrough Group 1 success with Champers Elysees in the Matron S. at Irish Champions Weekend was his highlight. His colts continue to be in high demand in the Far East with many more being sold to Hong Kong this year following the path of Playa Del Puente (Ire), who was so close to Wonderful Moon | racingfotos.com winning the Hong Kong Derby last spring." The G1 QIPCO British Champions Sprint winner Sands Of Mali Haras d=Etreham, which recently welcomed Group 1 winners is the stud's latest recruit, following four seasons in training with Hello Youmzain (Ire) and Persian King (GB) to its roster after the Richard Fahey, during which time he landed four group wins, sale of Wootton Bassett to Coolmore this year, has bought into including the G2 Gimcrack S.

    MONDAY, JUNE 12, 2017 PLETCHER SAVORING RITVO WEIGHS IN ON SO CAL HORSE POPULATION BELMONT WIN Tim Ritvo, the chief operating officer of the racing division for The Stronach Group (TSG), has recently been assigned to focus on Santa Anita Park. One of the challenges that the iconic track-- and the entire Southern California circuit--faces is the issue of field size and optimal horse population management. Twice this spring, on Apr. 27 and June 8, Santa Anita has had to call off Thursday racing because of an inability to fill entries, and the track has since received permission from the California Horse Racing Board to drop the Thursday cards scheduled for June 15 and 22. In a Friday phone interview with TDN=s T.D. Thornton, Ritvo outlined both short- and long-term strategies that TSG might undertake to bolster the racing product. An edited transcript follows.
