NEW PET SCAN UNVEILED AT SANTA ANITA ENTICED: A SPECIAL by Dan Ross "I think when we're done here, Santa Anita's going to have the ADDITION TO THE DARLEY most advanced and comprehensive availability of tools in the imaging realm of anywhere in the world." STALLION ROSTER These approbatory words, spoken by Craig Fravel, the freshly minted Chief Executive Officer, Racing Operations, at The Stronach Group (TSG), kicked off Friday's press conference heralding the recent arrival at Santa Anita of the Longmile Positron Emission Tomography (MILE-PET) Scan machine--a newly developed piece of equipment with two important burdens to shoulder. The first? Improve the early detection and diagnosis of potentially catastrophic injuries in racehorses. The other? Help rehabilitate the public image of a racetrack that has endured an Annus horribilis by any stretch of the imagination. Indeed, it back in May, during the height of the welfare crisis, TSG announced that it had invested $500,000 to purchase by Katie Ritz the machine.

Allen (Fr). Click or tap here to go straight to TDN Europe. Darley Sales Manager Darren Fox explained why Enticed is unique for the Godolphin organization. "Enticed is our first homebred son of Medaglia d'Oro to make it to our stallion barn. He was a top-class dirt horse at two and three, and being out of our Godolphin-raced millionaire It's Tricky just makes him that little bit extra special for us." It's Tricky (Mineshaft) was part of the final crop of Stonerside-bred foals and was raced by Godolphin. At three, she won the GI Acorn S. and the GI Coaching Club American Oaks. She also placed second to Eclipse Royal Delta (Empire Maker) in the GI Breeders' Cup Ladies' Classic. At four, It=s Tricky took the GI Ogden Phipps H. and retired with earnings of over $1.6 million. "Kiaran McLaughlin called her one of the most talented fillies he's ever trained,@ said Fox, Aand that's saying something. This filly was immensely talented and is one that was very near and dear to our hearts." Enticed was foaled in 2015 from Medaglia d'Oro's 10th crop. Fox said that Enticed has the same commercial look as his sire. Cont. p3 PUBLISHER & CEO Sue Morris Finley @suefinley [email protected]

Enticed cont. from p1 "He's quite a striking physical as a big, framey, commercial type in the same mold as his father. He's 16.3, with an amazing shoulder and hip, and a good length of body. We feel that this physical represents excellent value for breeders at $10,000." As a juvenile, Enticed broke his maiden on debut at Saratoga before placing third in the GI Champagne S. to Firenze Fire (Poseidon's Warrior) with Eclipse Champion () in second. He then went on to win the GII Club S. Fox said this race in particular showed the great heart of the colt. "He was bumped into the first turn, had to go eight wide turning for home, and then got into an epic battle with Tiz Mischief (Into Mischief) coming into the stretch and prevailed by a head. It was just a thrilling performance." The colt showed the same fight as a 3-year-old as he claimed the GIII Gotham S. at a mile. After going five wide on the backside, he opened up in the stretch to win by almost three lengths, defeating Grade I winners Firenze Fire and Free Drop Billy (Union Rags).

"The Gotham was one of his most visually impressive performances, and a big resume booster with the level of tough competition in the race," said Fox. Enticed went on to finish second in the GII Wood Memorial S. to this year's GI Breeders' Cup Classic winner Vino Rosso (Curlin). Although Enticed has only been available for breeder inspection for a little over a month, Fox said his book is well on its way to being completely filled. "He's such a commercial-type horse that if he replicates himself, breeders will be duly rewarded at the sales. I think that's the first thing that strikes breeders when they see him. They think, 'If I get one to look like this, I'll be in good shape.'" Cont. p4 TDN HEADLINE NEWS • PAGE 4 OF 13 • THETDN.COM SATURDAY • DECEMBER 14, 2019

Enticed cont. from p1 Fox said he finds Enticed to be set apart from the rest of the incoming class of freshman sires in that he is out of such a successful race mare. "Very few stallions are out of such a phenomenal race mare such as It's Tricky, and that gives him an extra edge that many stallion prospects don't have." Enticed is the only stallion beginning stud duties in Kentucky next year out of a mare with over $1 million in earnings. Along with WinStar's Yoshida (Jpn) (Heart's Cry {Jpn}), Enticed is one of just two incoming sires in Kentucky with a Grade I-winning dam. "What's really special about Enticed is the fact that he's so well-rounded and gets high marks in many different categories. He's by Medaglia d'Oro, which is obviously quite appealing, but he's also out of an incredible race mare," Fox said. "He was a precocious graded stakes winner at two, and then followed up with another graded stakes win at three. When you package all that up and present it to breeders for $10,000, it's easy to see why he's so popular with breeders. We're very excited about the future for Enticed here at Darley."

PET Scan cont. from p1 "It's exciting," said Fravel, Friday. "Mostly, we're excited for the benefits to the horses who perform here at Santa Anita, Del Mar and throughout California, in terms of what we think this will do for the long-term health and welfare of the animal." The press conference began outside the Southern California Equine Foundation (SCEF)-operated Nuclear Medicine Facility nestled in the barn area at Santa Anita. Besides Fravel, speakers included veterinarian Joe Dowd, president of the SCEF, which had invested another $250,000 of its own money in the technology. "It's a much higher resolution than we get with our regular nuclear scintigraphy imaging," said Dowd, comparing the new PET technology to the widely used bone scan--a comparison he suggested was akin to trying to read with and without spectacles. "The original imaging is two dimensional. What the new PET scan allows is three-dimensional imaging. And we can actually visualize it on a computer screen." Mathieu Spriet, associate professor of Surgical and Radiological Sciences at the University of California Davis's School of Veterinary Medicine, where the PET scan machine was developed, took up where Dowd left off. "This is not something that happened overnight," said Spriet, the brainchild behind the new technology. "We did the first PET scan on a horse at UC Davis over four years ago. We saw the potential, and I remember meeting with Dr. [Sue] Stover, discussing the initial findings. She was really excited about it--it was like finding gold," Spriet added, before he led the assembled reporters inside for a live demonstration. Cont. p5 Learnardini Did you know...

PET Scan cont. The way the MILE-PET-scan works is similar to a regular bone scan. A radioactive tracer is injected into the body, which will then light up under imaging any abnormal areas in the bone. But this particular machine resembles a basketball hoop hovering above the ground, with a quick-release mechanism in case the horse becomes fractious. The hoop is able to slide up and down, in order to take images at different parts of the leg, each image taking approximately 3-4 minutes. "We've validated the scan all the way up to" and just over the knee, Spriet explained. And why the emphasis on the lower leg? Studies have shown that pre-existing injuries which aren't always clinically apparent are present in more than 85% of catastrophic breakdowns, with the fetlock proving to be the most site of catastrophic injury. The proximal sesamoid bones within the fetlock are especially vulnerable. Injuries to these bones account for 50-60% of all musculoskeletal fractures, researchers have found.

Thanks to a Grayson-Jockey Club Research Foundation grant, Spriet has already imaged about 25 horses--20 of them at UC Davis along with five already at Santa Anita. He hopes to image about 200 horses in total within the first year. Each horse imaged will also have a bone scan taken, as a point of comparison. "We need to find what is a normal baseline for the racehorse," Spriet explained. As the press conference concluded, Southern California-based veterinarian Ryan Carpenter announced that the long-awaited standing magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) unit--funded in part with $450,000 from the Dolly Green Research Foundation--will arrive by the middle of January. Indeed, the press conference took place in front of a roughly 10' x 10' x 30' slab of freshly poured concrete, onto which the unit will go.

BODY & SOUL: THREE STRIKES AND YOU'RE IN Happened to us a few days ago when we conjured up the thought that Mr. Prospector's son was having a good year with three of his sons coming up with potential "really big" horses. They would be Curlin, sire of GI Breeders' Cup Classic winner Vino Rosso; , dominant sire in Chile with three Group 1 winners this year and the declared victor in the GI Kentucky Derby, Country House; and English Channel, whose Channel Maker won the GI Man o' War S. We thought since none of these stallions closely resembles their sire in appearance or biomechanical terms that it would be interesting to delve into possible reasons for his somewhat sudden prominence. We then visited the Leading Sires lists to determine how well each of them was doing this year in terms of overall earnings. our surprise when we discovered they were among the Top 20 active sires as of Thanksgiving.

Talk about nicks! beyond his untimely passing in 2015. In fact, his son Battle of Midway (hint: out of a mare by Concerto, a grandson of Danzig) might have been another notch in his sire-of-sires belt had he not proven almost sterile when retired after winning the 2017 GI Breeders' Cup Dirt Mile. He came back to the races to win three more stakes before suffering a fatal training injury in early 2019. Back to the trio at hand. Curlin and English Channel, as chestnuts, are quite unlike their bay sire in appearance or phenotype. Curlin has that Deputy Minister "substance" about him, and English Channel is quite the outlier, being lightly made and smallish like Nureyev.

The weather is wonderful and the people are great.@ After leaving the winner=s circle for the post-race media conference, Taylor said, AThe experience was mind-blowing. It was a lot of fun. Great hospitality from everyone from the day we arrived. The facilities are very well done. It is very hard to produce something like this first time without any flaws and I didn=t see any major flaws. We are blessed to draw the right horse and win the race.@ The atmosphere was electric from the moment the gates opened with patrons filling the entire racetrack from the party green to the Apron Marquee. The VIP area was filled with many Frank Taylor (center) with Pitons Cup winner Casting Crowns RSLTC

MARE OF THE MOMENT: REACTION GOSDEN EARNS FOURTH By Emma Berry LEADING TRAINER TITLE Mare Of The Moment is a TDN feature that looks to highlight the success of a broodmare and give her and her owner recognition for those achievements. In association with the Irish National Stud the mare will receive a personalised headcollar and this month, Reaction (Fr) (Saint Des Saints {Fr}) is the recipient of Mare Of The Moment.

Amid a host of top-class jumpers that reach the shores of Britain and Ireland from France, Envoi Allen (Fr) (Muhtathir {GB}) has every right to be considered one of the most exciting novice hurdlers of recent years. The 5-year-old's progression from the paddocks of the Vagne family's Elevage Allen at Souvigny in the centre of France to a debut victory in an Irish point-to-point and Grade 1 wins at the Cheltenham Festival and Fairyhouse has been faultless. Cont. p2

John Gosden at Royal Ascot this past June | Horsephotos has been crowned champion Flat trainer for a IN TDN AMERICA TODAY fourth time, following another hugely successful season. ENTICED A SPECIAL ADDITION TO DARLEY STALLIONS He was presented with his trophy at a Racehorse Owners Katie Ritz speaks with Darley’s Darren Fox on the farm’s new stallion Association awards ceremony in London, retaining the title after Enticed (Medaglia d’Oro--It’s Tricky). Click or tap here to go straight seeing off his great rival Aidan O'Brien, who has no entries in to TDN America. Britain for the remainder of the year. With O'Brien trailing by well over ,250,000, Gosden has amassed an unassailable lead. His prize-money total of ,7,942,573 (at start of play on Dec. 13) is his second highest yearly total--falling just short of last year's tally, while his 187 winners this year is a personal best. The Clarehaven handler paid tribute to connections, staff and his horses for another outstanding season. "All I can say is, as is inevitable for any trainer, thank you to the fantastic owners and breeders that send us the horses," Gosden told Great British Racing. "To the amazing staff at Clarehaven, they work with me every day and we bounce ideas off each other, without them we are nothing. "To the horses themselves, the one thing that binds us is the wonderful horses that we are lucky enough to be around. "No matter what level they win at, we have some champions at the yard, but when a little one that tries hard wins a small race, it's very fulfilling for every owner, trainer and breeder."
