BODY AND SOUL: ALL HAIL! LETTER FROM ASCOT: SHANG SHANG SHANG STARS FOR WARD by Dave Johnson In less than a London minute, Wesley Ward turned into a hero just after 2:35 in the afternoon at Royal Ascot in the G2 Norfolk S. The margin of victory was shorter than a nose, shorter than half-a-nose. It was a whisker. Because the Ward stable has been cold over the first two days, the price on Shang Shang Shang (Shanghai Bobby) climbed all morning long, up to 5-1. The fans were giving up on the 1984 Eclipse Award apprentice jockey turned conditioner, until this perfect sunny afternoon. His horse wore saddle cloth #10, and it was Royal Ascot winner #10 for Ward, the most successful trainer based outside Europe. Cont. p5

Blame | Claiborne photo by Robert D. Fierro, DataTrack IN TDN EUROPE TODAY The other day, we rolled down various leading sires lists in STRADIVARIUS ANSWERS GOLD CUP CALL search of a topic for this installment and immediately came to a Stradivarius gives Frankie Dettori his 60th Royal Ascot halt. That's because we noticed that Eclipse champion Blame winner in a thrilling finish to the G1 Gold Cup. Click or tap here had suddenly snuck up a few of those lists, to the point where to go straight to TDN Europe. he has to be considered a serious bet after what was probably a fair assessment that--echoing his racing career--he'd gotten off to a slow start as a sire. That statement was not meant to be anything other than a logical observation. One has to consider that even though he is from one of the most incredible families of the past 75 years-- that of *Rough Shod II, his fifth dam--it was always his sire, and his sire line, which was mostly greeted with a bit of hesitancy by a market oversaturated with commercial hyperventilation. But with ten stakes winners this year (four graded), headed by filly Fault (GI Santa Margarita S.) and the turf colt Maraud (GII American Turf S.), attention must be paid. But the eyebrows were arched when we continued scrolling down the list and discovered that his deceased sire, Arch, and his now exported (to Korea) speedball son, Archarcharch, were ranked among the top 50 sires in cumulative 2018 earnings. To double check, we ran the 2017 list--and they were in the Top 55 at the end of the year. That's an interesting discovery for a branch of a sire line that snuck up on a lot of people and is often overlooked by more, i.e. that of Kris S., a son of Roberto.

Taking a step back, we wondered how other Roberto branches were doing and discovered of course, that there's only one other which is prominent in North America, that of Dynaformer. The latter has some young sons at stud, but only Temple City and second-crop sire Point of Entry are beginning to make any noise that might compete with that of Blame. One reason is that aside from the ill-fated Barbaro (whose full brother Lentenor is now at stud), many good racing sons of Dynaformer were geldings. More interestingly, except for Darby Creek Road, Lear Fan and Silver Hawk, each of whom had successful records but never established viable branches, the sons of Roberto who left sons behind did so overseas, e.g., Brian's Time in Japan and Red Ransom in Australia. Thus, we come to Kris S. In contrast to Dynaformer, who raced more than 30 times and won graded races around two turns, Kris S., a foal of 1977, made only five starts, winning two sprints at two and the listed Bradbury S. at Santa Anita at nine furlongs at three. He was undoubtedly of high class considering the horses he ran against (e.g., Raise a Man, First Albert, The Carpenter, Rumbo). TDN HEADLINE NEWS • PAGE 4 OF 9 • THETDN.COM FRIDAY • JUNE 22, 2018

Surprisingly, none of his starts came on turf and along with the speed he showed at two, he set himself apart from other sons of Roberto when he went to stud. His sons who carried on his line more efficiently showed that tendency on the track and at stud. They included Prized, You and I and Rock Hard Ten, a diversified branch who, unlike Arch, did not leave any impactful sons behind. So much for first impressions. Things like this bother us because as sire lines fade, there are questions as to what factors may have affected the transitions from gangbusters to busts. We tend to look at things from three points of view, not necessarily in order of importance: Biomechanics, pedigree, and environment. The latter is a somewhat esoteric factor that includes cultural and economic issues which affect acceptance of a line, see Franco Varola's The Functional Development of the Thoroughbred, Chapter 11. Ironically, if we look at biomechanics first, we get a very powerful slap upside the head--Roberto has a profile similar to Halo's, whose line we explored in our essay in the Feb. 1 edition of TDN. We noted on our Phenotype Target that Halo and his son Southern Halo were somewhat heavier in body structure than most successful sires.

Heavy or light-bodied stallions often pass that characteristic on. That can result in inconsistency for a progenitor because more energy is required to bring versatility on the racetrack. Heavier types often tend to be sprinter-milers; light-bodied horses often can handle two turns but unless blessed with good cardio systems for energy storage can run out of gas if pressed too soon. Neither type generally succeeds at stud. Even though it made little difference in the racing careers of Halo and Southern Halo, their genetics fell into a biomechanical limbo that required their mates to bring less weight to the table so as to produce efficient racing progeny, which apparently happened. When we ran the biomechanical profile of Roberto and Kris S., we hit a "holy moly" minute: Both also carried more weight than we expected. And as is the case of Halo and Southern Halo, the most successful sires in this branch had obvious biomechanical balance from their dams so that they were somewhat more balanced in terms of weight and efficiency. This is more clearly explained from a glance at the two Phenotype Targets attached, one for Halo and Southern Halo (which also appeared in the Feb. 1 article), and the other for Roberto and Kris S. Note how the proximity of Roberto and Kris S. is similar to that of Halo and Southern Halo. This is almost mystical. Central Kentucky's Premier Farm & Quality Real Estate Brokerage

CHRB VOTE ON OOC TESTING DEVOLVES INTO ARGUMENTATIVE SNIPING By T.D.

IN IT FOR THE LONG HAUL STRADIVARIUS ANSWERS By Chris McGrath GOLD CUP CALL The longest day, and in more ways than one. On the two previous mornings, the only racegoers on the train had been murmuring to each other over the rustle of their newspapers, trying not to feel too conspicuous in their finery among the stolid and resentful commuters. Yesterday, the same service was crammed with the noisy, bibulous vanguard of Ladies' Day, launching a fusillade of corks in ominous syncopation with the safety-catch clicking of cans. Some, plainly, were setting impossible early fractions. By the time the shadows of the solstice evening began to lengthen, they had been given an edifying lesson in how to manage a far more arduous test of stamina. And not just by the three magnificent horses who, after two and a half miles, produced a Gold Cup very nearly as thrilling as the one that last year qualified as the race of the British season. Cont. p4

Successful in the G2 Queen=s Vase at this meeting 12 months ago, the chestnut--who was the 7-4 joint-favourite alongside the Ballydoyle stalwart--was kept back in fourth off the moderate early pace by Frankie Dettori. Angled out to grab the lead with a furlong remaining, he had Vazirabad to deal with from there but saw out the two and a half miles thoroughly to score by 3/4 of a length, with a head back to Torcedor (Ire) (Fastnet Rock {Aus}) in third and Order of St George a further three lengths away. AIt went perfectly--it was a great race and we had to fight for it, but he was very brave and did all the running for me,@ Dettori commented as he savoured a 60th Royal Ascot winner and a sixth win in the Gold Cup which lived up to all expectations. AThe crowd were behind it and I was loving it. Full credit to the horse, he was brave as a lion. Sometimes a race looks a great match on paper, but this turned out to be a great renewal.

Stradivarius Answers Gold Cup Call Cont. from p1

Stradivarius=s success means that he is a potential winner of the WH Stayers= Million in its inaugural year, having captured the 14-furlong G2 Yorkshire Cup on May 18. He only has to repeat his win in the July 31 G2 Goodwood Cup and then take the Aug. 24 G2 Lonsdale Cup back at York to provide his owner- breeder with the ultimate reward for his devotion to concentrating on staying types. This colt=s early period featured a maiden win on Newcastle=s Tapeta as a juvenile and he is yet another Royal Ascot winner to have previously scored on an all- weather surface. Second in a Chester handicap last May before coming to the fore in the Queen=s Vase, his acceleration up the ranks was marked thereafter as he beat the Gold Cup hero Big Orange (GB) (Duke of Marmalade {Ire}) in receipt of 13 pounds weight-for-age in the Goodwood Cup before running third in the G1 St Leger at Doncaster in September. Admirable when third again behind Order of St George and Torcedor on soft ground which played against him and into the hands of that duo in the two-mile G2 QIPCO British Champions Long Distance Cup, he had danced through the Yorkshire Cup on his return to set up this tilt. As he had in the Goodwood Cup, Stradivarius was a touch keen throughout the early stages with Mount Moriah (GB) (Mount Nelson {GB}) left in charge of pacesetting duties and Torcedor and Order of St George in second and third. With Ryan Moore keen to lift the tempo in the back straight as Johnny Murtagh Frankie was tracking his every move while Christophe used to on Yeats (Ire), he had to angle three-wide to do so but Soumillon was on his mount=s tail and Torcedor was refusing to the response was laboured which was perhaps predictable given give in up ahead, so the first of the main protagonists to crack how mulish he had been going down to the start. was Order of St George as he was squeezed out at the furlong pole. Once in front, Stradivarius kept rolling to deny the French raider who brought further international credibility to this vintage renewal. John Gosden, who was winning this for the first time, said, AIt was an extraordinary race. Frankie said they didn=t go that quick and his heels were definitely down early on, which meant the horse was taking him on. As usual, Mr. Soumillon was waiting like all good Frenchman to pounce late and frustrate us and it was a fascinating tactical race, because if Frankie had gone too soon there was the danger that Vazirabad would nail him. It was a proper finish and look at the line-up as they headed to the line. This little fellow stuck his neck out and on this ground he can flick off it.

In It For The Long Haul Cont. from p1 For the fact that they were able to do owed much to three top-class jockeys in their prime, who eked out the reserves of their mounts by individual variations of the seasoning gained through decades of shared experience. First there was Colm O'Donoghue, throwing down the gauntlet on Torcedor (Ire) (Fastnet Rock {Aus}) as a man transparently emancipated by his new responsibilities as a stable jockey. Then came Christophe Soumillon, playing late cards with all his familiar verve on Vazirabad (Fr) (Manduro {Ger}). But ultimately both had to yield to the track's presiding genius, Frankie Dettori, on Stradivarius (Ire) (Sea The Stars {Ire}). In the bigger picture, moreover, Dettori's renaissance with John Gosden--for whom he had also ridden a treble on the opening day--is itself a model of sustained vitality. That he should remain at the peak of his powers, at 47, is a measure of the renewal by which he has maintained the median of his stardom, no matter how steep the occasional troughs. With his showmanship, of course, Dettori was also able to renew his connection with those who had resorted, from so early in the day, to a more artificial form of effervescence. Uniquely in his generation, Dettori has equal celebrity among the professionals who judge him as a horsemen; and the dilettanti whose curiosity the industry will perhaps only value once he has gone. These appreciated his flying dismount from Stradivarius no less than Wesley Ward, nowadays something of an Ascot institution himself, did the hug and kiss that interrupted a television interview after the opening race. Ward responded by cheerfully reproaching Joel Rosario for his failure to master a flying dismount for the G2 Norfolk S. success of Shang Shang Shang (Shanghai Bobby). If this markedly different race must also have enthused the casual fan, simply by dint of the desperate margin, then it also contained an important lesson for the cognoscenti.

In admitting to the value he finds falling through the cracks at Keeneland, Cowell can rest assured that these will not suddenly be closed by an influx of neighbours from home. Hip 2934! Read it and weep. Especially if you are one of those trainers who a) complain about being overmatched by the stables of the big owner-breeders; and b) lack the imagination and balls to hang around Lexington when the only familiar faces still in town belong to breeze-up pinhookers. "I've been going for six or seven years, and it's something I'm very keen on," Cowell said. "I just feel there are a lot more horses and a lot fewer buyers. I'll be there through Books 4, 5 and 6, and do it all on my own. I came back with six last year, including a couple of others that trialled for Ascot but just weren't there yet. But they will be.

THIS HORSE DIDN’T COST MUCH, BUT I THOUGHT HIM A BEAUTIFUL YEARLING: A REALLY STRONG, STURDY TYPE. Robert Cowell on the $35,000 Pocket Dynamo

"This horse didn't cost much, but I thought him a beautiful yearling: a really strong, sturdy type. He's so tough and genuine, when he won at Longchamp last time he was taken on a long way out in quite a snazzy race but just kept that nose of his in front. And he's maturing all the time, there's better to come." Few trainers operating at the same level could afford Scat Daddy yearlings but that, sadly, will no longer be a problem. The three members of his last crop to have run at this meeting so far, incidentally, have finished second (in a photo), third and fourth. But while Scat Daddy was clearly exceptionally potent, Cowell has had the enterprise to explore the wider ripples, and not just the stone cast into the middle of the market. It was the beginning of a sumptuous summer afternoon, but the long evening to follow was bound to be lost on some. Thinking back to the morning train, I am reminded of the tot of Caribbean rum I was once offered. The brand was Sunset. "Coz it don't matter what time you start drinkin' it," the barman explained.

G1 Tattersalls Tiara Preview Cont. Finishing in front of Champagne Cuddles in the Stradbroke was Andrew Noblet=s Super Cash (Aus) (Written Tycoon {Aus}) who endured a wide passage throughout and was entitled to knock up. If that run hasn=t taken any toll on the mare, she looks capable of once again running a classy race, even though she has been allocated an extremely wide barrier. Arguably one of the most consistent mares in training, the Gai Waterhouse and Adrian Bott-trained Prompt Response (Aus) (Beneteau {Aus}) deserves her very own Group 1 win. Having contested four Group 1 contests in the last 12 months including her gallant second in this race last year, the mare has not finished further back than fifth in any of those elite level races, and the honest proposition is sure to once again be in the firing line when the whips are cracking. Another who has drawn wide in the race, but comes in off the back of third behind Invincibella and Prompt Response at Group 2 level is the 3-year-old Moss Trip (Aus) (Mossman {Aus}), impressive in her two most recent victories highlighted by the G3 James Carr S. Although drawn the complete outside barrier, she is on the up and even though she might find it hard, she is clearly one to watch for future races.
