MEDIA GUIDE 16 MEDIA GUIDE 17 KENTUCKY DOWNS KENTUCKY DOWNS Racing Staff and Officials TRACK RECORDS Senior Management Why There Are No Course Records at Kentucky Downs at This Time Ron Winchell — Managing Partner Kentucky Downs is not designating course records at this time because a new GPS Marc Falcone — Managing Partner Ted Nicholson — Vice President of Racing timing system installed last year and a new rail system put in this year that renders ir- relevant previous race-time comparisons. The 1 5/16-mile course was placed down in a field in 1990 when Kentucky Downs opened as Dueling Grounds as predominantly a Racing Operations steeple-chase course. Kentucky Downs’ race distances have been measured the most Tyler Picklesimer — Racing Secretary accurately for this meet of any time in track history. Also, the gate placement is changing Tiffany Bourque — Assistant Racing Secretary for some races with the new rail system. Therefore, 2021 will be the baseline year going Rick Hammerle — Horsemen’s Relations/Racing Operations forward for course records.

2020 STAKES RECAP | GUILDSMAN (FR)

Tyler Gaffalione capped his first riding title at Kentucky Downs as Qatar Racing’s French-bred 9-1 shot Guildsman came from far back to beat 21-shot Island Commish by a neck in the $500,000, Grade 3 Franklin-Simpson Stakes.

The Brendan Walsh-trained Guildsman provided the 26-year-old Gaffalione his meet-leading 11th win. “My agent has done an incredible job preparing for this meet,” he said of Matt Muzikar. “I’m so thrilled for Brendan. We’ve been trying to hook up with this colt. The distance was key today, just a little extra ground.”

Qatar Racing won the Franklin-Simpson for the second straight year, being the co-owner of 2019 winner Doug O'Neill-trained winner Legends of War. “It certainly made Sheikh Fahad a big fan of Kentucky Downs,” said his representative, Fergus Galvin. “He's already wanting to stock up the stable to point to the meeting next year.” The stakes earned Grade 2 designation for 2021 and received a purse hike to $600,000.

2020 STAKES RECAP | FLAVIUS

Juddmonte Farms’ homebred Flavius surged to the lead in midstretch and held off a late charge from defending champion Snapper Sinclair to win the $750,000 Tourist Mile (now the $1 million WinStar Mint Million) by three-quarters of a length.

It was four-time Eclipse Award-winning trainer Chad Brown’s first stakes victory at Kentucky Downs. “All the time before he was too far back, and he always came late,” said jockey Javier Cas- tellano. “Today he put me in good position. When I asked him, he responded so well. Maybe he liked the track today, European style, up and down, curves.”

Ivar, who finished fifth in the stakes, won Keeneland’s Grade 1 Shadwell Turf Mile in his next start to earn a fees-paid spot in the $2 million Breeders’ Cup Mile, where his fourth place was the best by an America-based horse. The Mint Million earned Grade 3 status for the first time in 2021.

2020 STAKES RECAP | OUTADORE

Wesley Ward not only kept his record as the only trainer to win Kentucky Downs’ $500,000 Ken- tucky Downs Juvenile Turf Sprint (now the Global Tote Juvenile Sprint) in its three-year history, he also saddled the exacta finish as Outadore out-finished stablemate Fauci by 1 3/4 lengths over soft turf.

“Isn’t that what you’re supposed to do?” Ward joked of remaining unbeaten in the stakes. Outado- re was one of three stakes wins at the meet for Irad Ortiz Jr., North America’s two-time defending Eclipse Award-winning jockey. Ward won seven races at the meet, including the $300,000 Tapit Stakes with Ramsey Solution, owned by Kentucky Downs’ all-time win leaders Ken and Sarah Ramsey.

Outadore stretched out to a mile to finish third in the $1 million Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Turf.

2020 STAKES RECAP | MOON OVER MIAMI

Trainer Bill Mott rolled the dice in shipping Summer Wind Equine’s Moon Over Miami to Ken- tucky Downs the morning of the $750,000 Gun Runner Dueling Ground Derby (now the Big Ass Fans Dueling Grounds Derby), needing a scratch to get the colt in the capacity field of twelve 3-year-olds running 1 5/16 miles.

That happened, and Moon Over Miami engaged front-running Big Dreaming in mid-stretch to power home for a half-length victory under Javier Castellano. “We sent him down with our fin- gers crossed,” said assistant trainer Kenny McCarthy. “It doesn’t often work out like that. We got a little bit of racing lucky in every which way.” In May, Moon Over Miami finished third ’s Grade 1 Man ’o War by a nose and a neck.

2020 STAKES RECAP | MICHELINE

Godolphin’s Micheline, sent off at 10-1, ran down favored Harvey's Lil Goil in the final strides to win the $500,000 Exacta Systems Dueling Grounds Oaks by a neck. Micheline has been a labor of love for trainer Michael Stidham.

The filly gets claustrophobic in a conventional barn stall and thus has an open-air, covered out- door stall at Stidham’s Fair Hill base and portable stall when she’s on the road. “It’s been a jour- ney with her, and it’s been well worth it,” Stidham said. “She really doesn’t do anything crazy. But if you put her in a barn she will get crazy.”

In their next start, Harvey’s Lil Goil turned the tables on Micheline, taking Keeneland’s Grade 1 Queen Elizabeth II Challenge Cup in a 1-2 Kentucky Downs exacta.

When I called, she was there.” Theodora B. shipped in from train- er Michael Dickinson’s training center in Maryland.

The 1 5/16-mile stakes received a purse increase to $550,000 this year.
