Maximum Effort SUNDAY, AUGUST 23, 2020 MAXIMUM EFFORT HALLADAY COAST-TO-COAST IN FOURSTARDAVE by Alan Carasso When last seen, Harrell Ventures LLC=s Halladay (War Front) was wrangled back off the pace and ultimately ran fourth in the GII Bernard Baruch H. July 26, allowing Somelikeithotbrown (Big Brown) to post a relatively hassle-free, front-running victory. With that failed experiment in the rear view, it was back to pedal-to-the-metal tactics in Saturday=s GI Fourstardave H. and the gray colt repelled a late bid from defending champion Got Stormy (Get Stormy) to land the spoils. Casa Creed (Jimmy Creed) rallied to complete the trifecta. The victory earns Halladay a fees-paid berth into the GI Breeders= Cup Mile at Keeneland Nov. 7. Not the quickest away from the machine, Halladay was asked to pick up the bit and secured the front passing under the wire for the first time, as Got Stormy, Without Parole (GB) (Frankel Maximum Security all alone at the finish | Horsephotos {GB}) and Emmaus (Ire) (Invincible Spirit {Ire}) did the early chasing. Cont. p4 by Alan Carasso Whether you love him or have mixed feelings about him, there is one thing about Maximum Security (New Year=s Day) that is IN TDN EUROPE TODAY very hard to dispute: he is an outstanding racehorse. BOLGER HOMEBRED DELIVERS IN FUTURITY Prohibitively favored at 40 cents on the dollar to take Jim Bolger homebred Mac Swiney (Ire) (New Approach {Ire}) Saturday=s GI TVG Pacific Classic in his second start since being caused an upset in the G2 Futurity S. at The Curragh.

When the dust had settled, the 4- year-old had a margin of three lengths on a very game and persistent Sharp Samurai (First Samurai), while Midcourt (Midnight Lute)--who almost stole the show in the GII San Diego H. last time out-came home a well-beaten third. "We mapped it out that he's the quickest horse, he's ready and now you can ride him with a lot more confidence. Once he took the lead I figured he'd be fine,@ said trainer Bob Baffert, winning the marquee race of the Del Mar meet for the sixth time, equaling the record of the great Bobby Frankel. A>Max' was relaxing really nice. He was a totally different horse today. [Maximum Security] just does things effortlessly. He wasn't even blowing when he came back. I'm just so happy for this horse. It's not his fault what he went through. Today he showed that he is a great horse."

Has to be respected as Aidan O'Brien's sole representative. 2. SEALIWAY - Second in the G3 Prix la Rochette over course and distance beaten 1L. The fourth has boosted this form since winning at Listed level. 3. LAWS OF INDICES - Failed to gain a clear run when seventh beaten 5.75L in the G1 1400m Vincent O'Brien National Stakes in Ireland. Previously a G2 winner and could be worth another try. 4. CAIRN GORM - Sixth beaten 5L in the G2 Mill Reef Stakes over 1200m at Newbury. Stepping up in trip. 5. NANDO PARRADO - Second in the G1 Prix Morny over 1200m at Deauville beaten 2L. Previously won the G2 Coventry Stakes at Royal Ascot and holds big claims. 6.

    Bulletin Book Extracts Continuity with the Dark Horses Annual … In my Dark Horses Guide I made out a case for Nichols Canyon, now the winner of seven of his 10 starts over hurdles. A genuine and classy performer for John Gosden on the Flat, with two Listed victories and a Group 3 placing to his name, he landed four Grade 1 races as a novice last season without getting the credit he deserved. This season he became the first horse to beat Faugheen, where the close proximity of Wicklow Brave in third suggests the favourite underperformed, before winning his sixth Grade 1 race when beating Identity Thief in the Ryanair Hurdle at Leopardstown over Christmas. Nichols Canyon ran the worst race of his career just under a month later when he trailed home 28 lengths third to Faugheen and Arctic Fire in the Irish Champion Hurdle, possibly feeling the effects of his tussle with Identity Thief in the heavy ground. Nichols Canyon’s greatest asset is his tenacity. He is not the sort of horse ever to win on the bridle, but he handles any ground and has strong winning form over two and a half miles – always an asset in the Champion Hurdle. Willie Mullins says the horse reminds him of Hurricane Fly – a great compliment - and there is a case for saying he has the best overall form in the race, even though the ratings suggest otherwise. Strong Opinions … I have no doubt that My Tent Or Yours is one of the most talented horses Nicky Henderson has ever trained.
