D-DAY FOR BAFFERT=S KEENELAND, FASIG-TIPTON LOBBYING FOR OVERSEAS BUYERS by Kelsey Riley COOLMORE PAIR Overseas buyers are an ever-increasing fixture of the American yearling sales. It is not only the big-spending Maktoum family and Coolmore partners who are vital to the health of the market; an international presence stimulates spending at all levels of trade, fueled by visitors from all across Europe--not least the pinhookers who have enjoyed so much success with their buys at the breeze-ups--and Asia, Australasia and the Middle East. Global travel restrictions resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic have, naturally, caused some unrest in the minds of sellers as they put the finishing touches on their yearlings ahead of Fasig-Tipton=s Selected Yearling Showcase in Lexington Sept. 9 and 10 and Keeneland=s September Yearling Sale from Sept. 13 to 25.

Click or might the likes of Charlatan (Speightstown) and Nadal (Blame) tap here to go straight to TDN Europe. tell this star cadet, as they hand over the trenches, to steel him for the challenges ahead? Cezanne (Curlin) probably thinks they could do with a shave, and shouldn=t be smoking on duty. But then he will notice the medals on their chests, and start to ask himself whether he too will step up; whether he will live up to everything his instructors thought they could see on the parade ground. Charlatan and Nadal won Grade I skirmishes, of course, before being forced out of the GI Kentucky Derby trail, but their general has already ordered reinforcements into the breach. Uncle Chuck (Uncle Mo) is evidently going after the East=s leading next weekend, and meanwhile he deploys Cezanne against the premier sophomore on his home front. Having previously professed faith in the calm genius of his trainer, we will defer for now what would otherwise seem the obvious concern about Honor A.P. (Honor Code): that he will be required to beat more horses in a single race, come Derby day, than he will have encountered in his whole life outside maiden company. Instead we=ll focus not just on Cezanne, but on another Baffert sophomore who likewise weaves a fascinating sub-plot into an epic Saturday.

D-Day for Baffert=s Coolmore Pair (cont. from p1) Cezanne and Eight Rings (Empire Maker) have very different profiles, to this point, but they do have one important thing in . The critical tests they undertake, on either coast, will go a long way to determining the yield (or otherwise) on hefty investment made by and various partners. For Magnier, having brought consecutive Triple Crown winners to Ashford out of his barn, has shown his faith in the Baffert program by seeking its next champions at a rather earlier stage of their development. Cezanne topped the Gulfstream Sale last year, at $3.65 million; and it=s safe to assume that pretty giddy stakes were also required to complete a deal to stand Eight Rings, on his retirement, just days before he lined up for the GI TVG Breeders= Cup Juvenile. An Eclipse Award plainly in the offing that day, but he blew what hindsight suggests to have been a golden opportunity and fared no better when resurfacing at Oaklawn in the spring.

Eight Rings | Horsephotos

Since returning to the worktab, however, Eight Rings has teased his ownership group--a formidable assembly, even before the advent of Coolmore--that he may yet turn things round. In his four latest breezes, he has clocked a quicker time than 209 of 212 other animals going the same distance. Cont. p4 TDN HEADLINE NEWS • PAGE 4 OF 11 • THETDN.COM SATURDAY • AUGUST 1, 2020

And it=s not as though his reputation ever depended only on what he did in the mornings. Juveniles don=t make all in Grade I races, roaring away by six lengths with the eventual class toiling in third, unless they have a ton of natural . We know that are complicated creatures, seldom with a single lock taking a single key. But if Baffert has figured out where the real Eight Rings has been hiding, his latest comeback in the GI Allen Jerkens S., presented by , could yet intrude on back-to-back weekends potentially showcasing sons of Violence--No Parole succeeding Volatile--as the fastest of their respective crops. Cezanne, for his part, holds rather more appeal for romantics (whose instinct is naturally to root for the underdog) than tends to be the case with sale-toppers. Apart from anything else, we do occasionally need our beliefs regarding pedigree, conformation and so on to work out sufficiently for this business to be sustainable and, if Cezanne is to prove one of the poster boys, then that=s a gratifying prospect for the many friends of the late J.J. Crupi.

But here was an occasion when the usual poverty of language was rendered equal to the richness of a human life. So while firmly committed to Honor A.P., I do wish Mr. Viola and his partners well with Cezanne in the Shared Belief S. Besides, he is out of a Bernardini mare. It is only a few days since we celebrated this extraordinarily precocious broodmare sire, but already yet another of his daughters has since produced a Grade I winner in Paris Lights (Curlin). This year, of J J Crupi and Vinnie Viola | Keeneland photo course, Bernardini also has a colt in play for the Derby--and the people behind Art Collector certainly command respect and Nobody cherished Crupi more than Vinnie Viola of St Elias affection, too, as we=ll be reiterating in the days ahead. Stables, who co-bred Cezanne and retained a stake after his In the meantime Cezanne can seek a chink in the Honor A.P. sale. Not merely because he acquired Liam=s Map (Unbridled=s armour that seems likely to close up once he gets a chance to Song) through Crupi as a yearling, and also shared in the success use that low, unrelenting stride over a longer distance. of Always Dreaming (Bodemeister), but primarily because of an Whatever he may lack in seasoning, Honor A.P. at least seems exceptional personal rapport. sure to relish the stamina demands of the Churchill cavalry On losing his friend, just weeks after the Fasig-Tipton sale, charge.

Anyone can achieve a One way or another, it=s a day when Coolmore=s chips with superficial eloquence by sheer craft, by an intelligent sense for Baffert are piled pretty high. Eight Rings was named for the the weight or rhythm of words. But you can only introduce that Super Bowl accomplishments of football coach Bill Belichick, authenticating, third dimension when you also talk from the who was apparently also in mind (though I=m straying well heart, as Viola did then.

Keeneland, Fasig-Tipton Lobbying for Overseas Buyers (cont. from p1) Foreign nationals traveling from Europe--as well as Brazil, Iran and China--are currently not permitted to enter the U.S., but Keeneland Vice President and Chief Operating Officer Vince Gabbert said that Keeneland and Fasig-Tipton are working together with government officials in an effort to allow foreign buyers to gain entry for the sales. Gabbert said he is Acautiously optimistic@ that they will reach an agreement.

CDI SEEKS TO SELL ARLINGTON LAND by T.D. Thornton The long-term future for Churchill Downs, Inc. (CDI) to continue racing in Illinois involves selling its Arlington International Racecourse land for another purpose and transferring the corporation=s racing license to another location. Bill Carstanjen, the chief executive officer of CDI, outlined the gaming company=s desire to rid itself of Chicago=s premier Thoroughbred venue in a July 30 conference call with investors. His comments came six days after Arlington=s delayed 2020 Scenes from the 2019 Keeneland September sale | Keeneland season opening (because of the pandemic and a bitter contract dispute with local horse people) and one day before 2021 dates Gabbert said at this stage that it doesn=t look as if visitors will applications were due to be filed with the Illinois Racing Board. be required to quarantine when arriving in Kentucky, but COVID Carstanjen was responding to a question from an investment testing may be a part of the process. analyst who asked about the gaming corporation=s Abroad Illinois AWe don=t have everything finalized but we=re working very strategy@ with respect to Arlington. closely with our local health department and both us and Fasig- AWe reached an agreement with the horsemen [and] we're Tipton are working very closely with local health professionals to running the race meet right now,@ Carstanjen said, according to make sure that we=re following all the recommendations from an edited transcript of the call posted on Yahoo!

We have an agreement to run a 2021 we would not anticipate any need for a quarantine or for people race meet if we elect to do so. That's not a long-term viable to isolate once they get here, but we are looking at what might solution for the Arlington Park license.@ TDN HEADLINE NEWS • PAGE 7 OF 11 • THETDN.COM SATURDAY • AUGUST 1, 2020

Carstanjen continued, ALong-term for Arlington Park, as we've Horsemen have stated a belief that CDI doesn=t want Arlington explained on these calls, and [as] we've explained to the state, it competing with its own (and potentially more lucrative) venues. doesn't work. The economics don't work. It's not a viable Last summer, CDI cited the racino law=s requirement of having solution. We'd like to give the state, given everything that's to contribute gaming revenues to the Thoroughbred purse going on, an opportunity to help us find a better long-term account as a competitive disadvantage it did not want to solution. But the long-term solution is not Arlington Park. That undertake. land will have a higher and better purpose for something else at The Daily Herald of suburban Chicago obtained a statement on some point. Thursday from the ITHA that stated, AFor Churchill's CEO to say preposterously that Churchill has been >patient= with other stakeholders speaks to the height of Churchill's contempt for the elected officials and working families of Illinois. The very least that Churchill could do is be honest about its true intention. The company cares only about maximizing profit and is happy to sacrifice the spirit of Illinois law and the livelihood of working Illinoisans to serve its greed.@ Carstanjen also disclosed on the call that despite applying for a sports betting license in March, Arlington no longer plans on pursuing it. ACurrently, we're not planning on doing sports wagering there through the Arlington license. We're happy to play heavily in Illinois and sports wagering through our Rivers [Casino] license,@ Arlington | Coady he said. That venue is about 10 miles from Arlington and CDI owns a 61% stake in it. ABut we want to work constructively with all of the The Daily Herald quoted a rebuke from Tom Hayes, the mayor constituencies in the market to see if there's an opportunity to of Arlington Heights, where the track is located. move the license or otherwise change the circumstances so that AIt=s very disappointing to hear,@ Hayes said. ACertainly, I=ve racing can continue in Illinois. But for us, we've been patient and never felt Churchill Downs was all that concerned about thoughtful and constructive with the parties up in that Arlington Heights and our community at all. I think they=re jurisdiction. concerned about the bottom line.@ ABut long term, that land gets sold, and that license will need to move if it's going to continue,@ Carstanjen said. AAnd the time frame for doing that is not something I'm going to comment on this call today, and it's not definitive. But certainly, certainly, it's something that's on our mind on a week-to-week basis, if not a day-to-day basis.@ The relationship between Arlington and the horse people who race on the Illinois circuit has been contentious for several years now. The split widened considerably last August when Arlington management stunned Illinois stakeholders by intentionally missing a deadline to apply for a racino license after more than a decade of working with the Illinois Thoroughbred Horsemen=s Association (ITHA) to get the Illinois Gaming Act passed as a way to boost purses via other forms of betting. Arlington=s decision not to pursue slot machines and table games at the track took on heightened controversy because Arlington=s corporate parent, Churchill Downs, Inc. (CDI), has an ownership stake in a nearby competing casino and is aiming to open another near Chicago.

TILSIT ON TOP AFTER THOROUGHBRED ENQUIRY BATTAASH CRACKS TRACK Khalid Abdullah=s Tilsit (First Defence) followed up a June 4 debut second at Newcastle with a breakthrough score--by a RECORD WITH FOURTH whopping 19 lengths--back there June 27 and survived a lengthy KING GEORGE stewards= enquiry to be confirmed the winner of Friday=s G3 Bonhams Thoroughbred S. at Goodwood. The 10-1 chance was steadied to race in third behind a modest tempo set by My Oberon (Ire) (Dubawi {Ire}) and remained there through halfway in this turf bow. Quickening to launch his challenge at the quarter-mile marker, he edged in front entering the final eighth, but suddenly veered right to force that rival into the far- side fence with 150 yards remaining before returning on an even keel to hit the line with a 1 1/2-length advantage. My Oberon somehow managed to remain upright for second place, finishing 2 1/2 lengths ahead of 4-7 favourite Khaloosy (Ire) (Dubawi {Ire}) in third. As expected, was sanctioned for the final-furlong incident which impeded My Oberon and incurred a five-day suspension for careless riding in the debrief. ATilsit had two runs at Newcastle, which is a completely different track to Goodwood, and it was his first start on turf so he has really stepped up and done so well,@ commented trainer Battaash (Ire) | Racing Post Charlie Hills. AIt was a good step forward really and he has beaten two very nice horses. We knew coming into today that His odds were 2-7 and that proved generous as early as we would know where we would stand after the race and we = halfway as Shadwell s Battaash (Ire) (Dark Angel {Ire}) pulled off are all very excited now.

AHe=s so talented and the Prix du Gros ChLne from 1942 to 1946. Post-war, he is out we=re very proud of him. To have a horse like him in the yard at on his own and this was all the more meritorious in that he was six is amazing, to be involved with him means everything,@ he slicing a decent fragment off his prior track record on terrain commented. AFour consecutive Group 2s takes some doing, he=s made to measure for his style. There have been very few who not the biggest horse in the world but is so fast and well- could go with him once he had done the damage travelling balanced. He=s a true athlete. Further Flight, who my dad downhill and it took a fast Australian mare to make any kind of trained, is the only horse to win a pattern race five years on the impact as Houtzen (Aus) (I Am Invincible {Aus}) became the sole trot so we might come back next year!@ rival to get within a length of him at the finish of this race last Hills is looking at the familiar European sprint options now, but term. When you are this good, the only one left to beat is was also not ruling out a tilt at the Breeders= Cup. AHe=s not yourself and in his younger days Battaash was guilty of doing overly-raced and will have maybe two more runs this year,@ he that on the occasions that his hot temperament got the better added. AWe=re looking forward to the [G1] Coolmore Nunthorpe of him.

He=ll go on until he of maturity and now wanders around the parade ring like an old tells us he=s not the horse he was today. I love America and it sage. Having finally conquered York=s flat Knavesmire to win the would be tremendously exciting if he did go.@ Nunthorpe in August, he annexed a first King=s Stand on his Kevin Ryan said of runner-up Glass Slippers, AShe has run a latest start June 16 and has now set this benchmark which is blinder. I thought for a minute she was going to give him a race, unlikely ever to be met. He does not even need to blast from the but it is a great achievement by Battaash to win this race four outset any more, with Crowley opting to coast through the first years running. I=m delighted with our filly.@ TDN EUROPE • PAGE 3 OF 13 • THETDN.COM SATURDAY • 1 AUGUST 2020

G3 Thoroughbred S. cont. from p1 Grimthorpe continued, AI think he is still a bit goofy and immature and I wasn=t at all optimistic we would keep the race. He was the best horse, no doubt about that, but it always worries me. Ryan [Moore] had his whip in his right hand, so that was good, and he has just dived in. He was always going to win so from that point of view the rules are spot on, but it is always a nervous moment. This was Tilsit=s first race on turf and part of the learning curve for him, but he is pretty progressive by the looks of things. The Celebration Mile here could be a possibility and it is always nice to have a few thoughts about where we go and what to do. He looks on an upward curve and, trip-wise, I think we will stay at a mile.@

SILVANO COLTS DOMINATE NATIONAL OPENER Bloodstock South Africa=s National Yearling Sale, delayed from its original April calendar date, at last got off and running for its two-day stand on Friday. Topping trade during the opening session was Wilgerbosdrift Stud=s Silvano (Ger) colt out of local wondermare Halfway To Heaven (SAf) (Jet Master {SAf}) (lot 185), whose first two foals are the triple Group 1 winner Rainbow Bridge (SAf) (Ideal World) and champion 3-year-old and five-time Group 1 winner Hawwaam (SAf) (Silvano {Ger}). Hawwaam had been a R1-million yearling purchase by Shadwell South Africa, but his full-brother far outpointed that pricetag when bringing R7-million (,312,679/i347,508) on Friday from Summerhill Equestrian. In fact, it was sons of Silvano who dominated trade on the day, in the end responsible for the top four prices. Jehan Malherbe of Form Bloodstock signed for the session=s second and third highest-priced colts at R4.5-million (,201,008/i223,384) and R1.8-million (,80,390/i89,353): lot 106, a grandson of multiple champion mare Dancer=s Daughter (GB) (Act One {GB}), and lot 186, whose dam is a half-sister to Horse of the Year Futura (SAf) (Dynasty {SAf}). John Freeman purchased the fourth Silvano colt, the only other yearling in the session to crack seven figures: lot 109, the third foal out of Group 2 winner Demanding Lady (SAf) (Dynasty {SAf}) and half-brother to the G1 Cape Derby second Charles (SAf) (Trippi) made R1.3-million (,58,059/i64,533). From 230 yearlings catalogued on the day, 158 were offered and 121 sold for an aggregate of R37,250,000 (,1,663,640/i1,849,127), an average of R307,851 (,13,749/i15,283) and a median of R150,000 (,6,700/i7,447).
