TAKING STOCK: NEW ERA PLANNING TO BUILD NEW TRACK, CHURCHILL DOWNS WILL APPLY FOR TURFWAY DATES FOR PHIPPS STABLE by Bill Finley At Friday’s meeting of the Kentucky Commission, Churchill Downs will apply for the 2020 dates that had traditionally gone to Turfway Park. The story, which was broken by the Daily Racing Form’s Matt Hegarty, was later confirmed by Churchill Downs through a press release. Churchill’s plan is to build a new racetrack in Northern Kentucky that would likely replace Turfway. Churchill would race in the winter while the new facility is being built. The DRF said the new track could be ready to host some dates by 2021. Cont. p5

This is set to go down next week at the Keeneland September sale through Claiborne, as agent. No need to sound the alarm, however--Daisy Phipps Pulito, who co-owns the elite Claiborne-based operation with her mother, brother, and two sisters, said the stable is not going anywhere. Known for racing homebred colts and fillies by top-notch sires and out of mares from some of the most storied families in the Stud Book--most of them developed and nurtured over decades by various generations of Phippses--the family is breaking new ground so that it can grow the operation in other directions. “We just want to spread some risk,” she said. And she assuaged the fears of some inquiring minds on Twitter last week when she unequivocally tweeted: “We are not leaving. Phipps Stable is 100% committed to breed and race.” Pulito said the plan is to race the fillies and to keep improving the broodmare band with an occasional purchase or two, as the stable did a few years ago when it bought two well-bred yearling daughters of Tapit and Malibu Moon at Keeneland to introduce new blood into the broodmare band.

Yesterdayoncemore | Horsephotos TAKING STOCK: NEW ERA FOR PHIPPS STABLE The iconic Phipps Stable is selling its entire yearling crop at Keeneland September. Sid Fernando examines in his ‘Taking By Bill Finley Stock’ column. Click or tap here to go straight to TDN America. There's nothing the least bit unusual about the Coolmore team shipping to the U.S. and winning races, but the victories almost always come at the Grade I level and often in Breeders' Cup races. So when a filly named Yesterdayoncemore (Ire) (No Nay Never) was entered in the Sept. 2 Del Mar Juvenile Fillies Turf S., which had a $100,000 purse, it was a bit of a head-scratcher. Why bring a horse all the way from Ireland, particularly one who was winless in five career starts, for a relatively minor race at a track about 8,400 kilometers from home? It turns out that the ownership group, which includes Deron Pearson's DP Racing, felt they had a quality filly and bringing her to the U.S. was the best chance they had of being proven right. When deciding how to manage your horses, sometimes you take chances, even if they don't necessarily make sense on paper. And sometimes they work. Yesterdayoncemore won the race by a length (video) and is now being considered a potential starter for the GI Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf.

"If it looked like the graded stakes were a little Jim Cassidy. tough for her we planned to send her to the U.S. to race. There Pearson has only recently teamed up with Coolmore and this were two reasons for that. The competition for turf horses is a was his first stakes win since he joined their team. He says he little easier here and she would have more chances to run on co-owns two horses with them in Europe and a handful in the firm ground and we've always thought she was a firm ground U.S. filly." "What a great group to be partners with," he said. "I'd like Yesterdayoncemore was purchased at the 2018 Tattersalls nothing more than a long, successful partnership with them.

She started off her career with two straight second-place finishes over all-weather tracks and then finished off the board in three straight tries on the turf. In all three races the going was Dark Lady Prevails In The Dick Poole cont. from p1 listed as good. Hannon continued, AShe gets to the races and you think she "Deron Pearson lives over there and wanted to see his horse can=t be fit, but she is. She is immensely talented.

The other was that the ground was getting a bit soft Cheveley Park [at Newmarket]. She deserves her chance.@ at home and she wants a very fast track. The logical place to come for firm turf was the U.S." Pedigree Notes They also got a bit lucky. The same card included a $61,000 Dark Lady, who had broken her maiden by five lengths on maiden race for 2-year-old grass fillies and Pearson said that he Lingfield=s Polytrack July 17 and ran fourth in Ascot=s G3 Princess and Stack wanted to run in that race while Coolmore's Paul Margaret S. 10 days later over this trip before being tried at Shanahan wanted to go in the stakes race.

Stack said he was confident he could beat (GB). the foreign shippers, but admitted he didn't have a good read on the American starters. "I wasn't too worried about the European horses," Stack said. "I knew we'd have their measure. I didn't know how we would stack up to the Americans. But we did think she would stay and get the mile well and there weren't many in there that were proven at the trip." Despite a rough trip (she steadied twice under jockey Victor Espinoza), Yesterdayoncemore found room in the stretch and won with something left in the tank. "Any time you travel this far and get a little luck out of it you get a good kick out of it because a lot of planning and things go into it," Stack said. "It's a team effort and it's good when these things work out. It was an away game for us." With Stack as the trainer, Yesterdayoncemore will stay in the U.S. and go next in the Oct. 6 Surfer Girl S. at Santa Anita. Should she run well there, the Breeders' Cup at Santa Anita will be next. "If she runs as well in the next race as she did the other day, then, yes, I think we have a Breeders' Cup horse," Pearson said. TDN EUROPE • PAGE 3 OF 9 • THETDN.COM FRIDAY • 6 SEPTEMBER 2019
