AJustify had some filling in his ankle, and he is just not responding quick enough for a fall campaign,@ said trainer Bob Baffert. AWe all wanted to see Justify run again, but ultimately it is my responsibility to make sure he is perfect. Without 60-90 days, I can=t be definite.@ WinStar Farm=s Kenny Troutt added, AHe is an incredible horse and we are very disappointed he can=t run again. All things happen for a reason, and we are blessed to have raced him to be the 13th Triple Crown winner in history.@ Justify=s rise to the top of the game came in a remarkably short period of time. The hulking chestnut captured his seven-furlong debut at Santa Anita Feb. 18 and he quickly added a second win in an optional claimer at the Arcadia track Mar. 11.

Justify Retired (cont. from p1) On the first Saturday in May, Justify attended a fast pace and kept finding, striding home 2 1/2 lengths in front in the Churchill Downs slop [video]. After a hard-fought half-length victory over Bravazo () in the GI Preakness S. May 19 [video], Justify ran into the record books, becoming the 13th Triple Crown winner with a comfortable 1 3/4-length win in the GI Belmont S. June 9 [video]. The Bob Baffert trainee returned to his California base and has been residing at Del Mar in recent weeks, while being monitored for the ankle filling, which surfaced earlier this month. He is scheduled to parade Saturday at Del Mar after the day=s fourth race.

ATo win the Triple Crown is an amazing accomplishment,@ said China Horse Club=s Teo Ah Khing. AThe history of the Triple Crown and the difficulty of winning the three legs is not something I take lightly. It has been a great ride for all of us, and I have complete confidence Bob is doing the right thing by Justify.@ While in the immediate aftermath of the Belmont, the door was left open for a potential return to the racetrack, the timing of the ankle filling ultimately led to Justify=s retirement, according to Elliott Walden of WinStar. Justify will return to the farm early next month. AThe timing is bad for another start in 2018, and therefore, we have to retire him,@ said Walden. ALike [2015 Triple Crown winner] (), we can=t take the risk of running Justify as a 4-year-old. We all wanted him to finish his career in the [GI] Breeders= Cup Classic, but it was not meant to be. As has been reported, there is a possible sale to Coolmore in place, but that won=t be finalized until a later date. We are excited to share him with our fans starting in the middle of August after he gets acclimated.@ TDN HEADLINE NEWS • PAGE 4 OF 11 • THETDN.COM THURSDAY • JULY 26, 2018

Justify=s Grade III-placed dam Stage Magic is also responsible for a 2-year-old half-sister to Justify by Pioneerof the Nile named Egyptian Storm, who was purchased by Robert S. Evans and West Point for $230,000 from the Glennwood consignment at last year=s Keeneland September sale. Egyptian Storm had her fourth published workout July 21 at Saratoga for trainer Christophe Clement. Stage Magic=s 2017 foal is a colt by Will Take Charge and she produced a colt by Pioneerof the Nile Apr. 19 before being bred back to Quality Road. Her 4-year-old daughter Holiday Music (Harlan=s Holiday) was claimed by trainer Neil Pessin for $30,000 out of a winning effort at the Fair Grounds on New Year=s Day and was subsequently privately purchased by Jane Lyon=s Summer Wind Farm. Justify=s second dam Magical Illusion (Pulpit) was third in the 2004 GI Coaching Club American Oaks, while third dam Voodoo Lily was a Grade III winner.

Michael Dubb (cont. from p1) Q: Monomoy Girl helped kickstart your Saratoga meeting with another tremendous performance this past weekend as you seek a fifth straight owner=s title. What were your thoughts on opening weekend, which also included a very unlucky third from A Raving Beauty in the Diana? MD: It would be nice, obviously, to win another title, but I=ve been so fortunate and so lucky all winter and spring with a fantastic Belmont meet and also a win in the Kentucky Oaks, that I=m more than prepared for the luck--the ebb and flow of the game.

BEYOND by Mike Kane Though his 83rd birthday is approaching on Sept. 2, D. Wayne Lukas is conceding nothing to age in his 35th summer at Saratoga Race Course. As usual, he arrives before dawn, spends about four hours on horseback during training hours, is enthusiastic about his horses and happy to talk about racing. His stable is no longer the coast-to-coast powerhouse that smashed records, produced champions and put him in the Hall of Fame, but Lukas certainly has not faded away and will have horses in three graded stakes this weekend. For most of two months, Lukas and his 30 head are based at Barn 83, on the northeast edge of the Oklahoma training center that is part of the sprawling Saratoga facility. It is somewhat out of the way and a bit quieter than the atmosphere in the cluster of aged barns closer to the Oklahoma tracks. That is fine by Lukas, who said his mentor and patron John Nerud asked the Monomoy Girl heads to the Saratoga winner=s circle New York Racing Association to assign him the barn when Nerud after the CCA Oaks Sunday | Sarah K. Andrew stopped training. Barn 83, its grounds tidy and manicured and TDN HEADLINE NEWS • PAGE 7 OF 11 • THETDN.COM THURSDAY • JULY 26, 2018 decorated with flowers, has been the home to most of the Lukas first start since finishing sixth in the Preakness in the GII Jim horses that have won 249 Saratoga races, including 64 graded Dandy S. Lukas hopes to get both of them to the GI Travers S. on stakes. The foundation of that stakes haul is made up of Aug. 25. Also on Saturday at Saratoga, Lukas will saddle well-known Grade I races: three Travers, two runnings each of Warrior=s Club (Warrior=s Reward) in the GI Alfred G. the Alabama and the Whitney, six Spinaways and eight Hopefuls. Vanderbilt H. Lukas has won or shared six Saratoga training titles and has During the winter, after he won the GII S., Lukas won at least one race in each of his 34 years at Saratoga, an predicted that Bravazo could handle the Triple Crown. He did as impressive number but far back of the 47-year streak owned by the only horse besides Justify to make all three races. Jonathan Sheppard. During his first summer, 1984, Lukas AHe is tough,@ Lukas said. AHe=s very resilient and he=ll jump finished 1-2 in the GI Alabama S. with Life=s Magic (Cox=s Ridge) right into it.

AI think he=s actually better right now,@ Lukas said. AI think he=ll run better in the Haskell than any of the other three races.@ Sporting Chance gave Lukas a birthday present last year with his win in the Hopeful. However, the colt needed surgery to remove a knee chip a few weeks later and wasn=t seen again until mid-February when he finished third in the GIII Southwest S. Both of Sporting Chance=s two wins came at Saratoga.

Following form, Lukas laughs at any suggestion that he might retire. Three years ago, a few weeks after his 80th birthday, he survived a life-threatening cardiac incident while in Philadelphia to run Take Charge Brandi (Giant=s Causeway) in the GI Cotlillion S. at Parx. The blockages were severe, but Lukas--who had bragged that he was so healthy he never needed to go to the doctor--recovered and returned to the saddle. Seven days a week, 12 months a year, it=s business as usual for Lukas on his personal circuit of Oaklawn Park, Kentucky racing from Churchill Downs and Saratoga. AMy energy is good,@ he said, smiling. AI stepped on that pony at 5:15 and I stepped off at 9:10. I don=t ever miss a day.@ Lukas=s two Triple Crown series runners will return to competition this weekend. The higher-profile of the two, Calumet Farm=s GI Preakness S. runner-up Bravazo (Awesome Again) will tackle Kentucky Derby runner-up Good Magic (Curlin) in the GI Haskell Invitational Sunday at Monmouth Park.

He doesn=t want any of that. He definitely has an attitude.@ Lukas said he still is high on Sporting Chance--Ahe=s got some ability@--and figures the Jim Dandy is a spot where he has a chance to redeem himself. Warrior=s Club is owned by one of the partnerships organized by the Churchill Downs Racing Club. He and Lukas have taken the 200 co-owners--each of whom paid $500 to belong--on an exciting and successful ride. He has a 5-5-5 record from 25 starts, topped by a victory in the GIII Commonwealth S. at Keeneland and has earned $622,104. Lukas used his $50,000 budget on a colt who has made a lot of people happy. AIt=s been good,@ he said. AIt=s very satisfying to see what is happening with that.@ Lukas also has a 2-year-old filly for the club, She=s Got It All (Warrior=s Reward), who was purchased with some of the purse money earned by Warrior=s Club. She was second in a maiden race on opening day at Saratoga. Of course, the octogenarian is well aware of the earnings accumulated by the non-profit club and is looking to the future. AIf I get the account up $1 million I=m going to go try to buy a serious yearling for the Derby, around $400,000-$450,000,@ he said, Awhich would be the ultimate story.@ Most summers, Lukas is quick to tout his crop of 2-year-olds, but he is more reserved this year.

Yet it was equally the crowning glory of a banner season for his SUCCESS NO ACCIDENT 24-year-old pilot, who has already surpassed his highest annual total with a maiden half-century and counting. FOR JOCKEY BISHOP “It was very surreal,” he admits. “It probably hasn’t completely sunk in now. To ride my first Royal Ascot winner and Group 1, I was telling myself that after the race. The biggest thing was seeing Eve as emotional as she was, it meant a lot to me because without her, I’d still be at the small tracks every day. To be part of something that made her that happy was an amazing feeling.” Bishop has worked for Johnson Houghton for 3 1/2 years and is now stable jockey. However, he speaks with similar affection about Mick Channon, whom he joined at 16, and he continues to split his week on the gallops for the two nearby yards. “When we came back in after the Queen Anne, Mick was the first person in the winner’s enclosure to congratulate us,” he says.

Click or tap here to go straight to TDN America. both of their careers. In the case of jockey Charlie Bishop and trainer Eve Johnson Houghton, the roles were reversed in the minutes leading up to the victory of Accidental Agent (GB) (Delegator {GB} in last month’s G1 Queen Anne S. at Royal Ascot. “Eve was extremely nervous when we went to Ascot,” Bishop recalls. “When she came in to give me the saddle I even turned to her and said ‘relax, we’re here now, there’s nothing we can do about it, is there?’ I said, ‘I should be the one that’s worried now, anyway, it’s out of your hands.’ But she was nervous because she fancied him. We thought he’d finish in the first four, and if he was third he’s run really well. Ascot’s his favourite track, the straight mile is his ideal conditions. We thought we’d run better than everyone else thought we’d run.” In the aftermath of that 33-1 triumph in a driving finish to the meeting’s curtain-raiser, much of the attention was focused upon Johnson Houghton and her mother Gaie, who bred the colt no one wanted at the sales and named him after the title of the revealing wartime autobiography of her father, John Goldsmith.

Success No Accident For Jockey Bishop cont. from p1 “Mick can lose his head but five minutes later it’s forgotten “A lot of jockeys and trainers were saying ‘Jesus, you’d think about, it’s done. He’s never held a grudge or not used me Mick had trained a winner’, he was going round saying ‘that’s because I’ve given one a bad ride.” my boy.’ I’ve become part of the family.

Bishop cont. Accidental Agent has plenty of options further on, with a return to Ascot for the G1 Queen Elizabeth II S. an obvious target. He seems unlikely to accept his invitation to the G1 Cox Plate, but Bishop would be more than prepared for challenging a certain mare seeking an unprecedented fourth title. A couple of winters back he spent six months in Australia, largely riding work but also several winners for Chris Waller, the trainer of Winx (Aus) (Street Cry {Ire). “I used to ride a mare called Foxplay (Aus) (Foxwedge (Aus), Vice President, International Operations who won a Group 1 when I was there.
