Hartnell won the 2014 Queen’s Vase and Bahrain Trophy before going on to Group 1 glory in Australia | Racing Post “NEW LAUREL” TO BID FOR BREEDERS’ CUP The Stronach Group has grand plans for the future of Laurel Park, including hosting a future Breeders’ Cup. By Emma Berry Click or tap here to go straight to TDN America. The life of Peter Willett, who died in November at the age of 96, will be celebrated at a memorial service in Hampshire on Thursday. As well as being a hugely respected bloodstock journalist and author, his most significant contribution to the racing industry was as the key orchestrator of what we now know as the European Pattern. The last time I saw Peter was in August and, despite his advancing years, he still had plenty to say on racing matters. Among various topics discussed that day was the fact that it was his belief--and one shared by many--that the Pattern is now somewhat unwieldy. Thursday’s announcement by the European Pattern Committee (EPC) that there will be five fewer black-type races in 2016 is therefore a small step in the right direction, but more welcome still is the EPC’s decision to adopt a “pan-European approach” to the staying division by establishing a sub-committee to deal with the “worrying trend towards decline in the pool of staying horses that the EPC would not want to see continue.” Cont. p2 TDN EUROPE/INTERNATIONAL • PAGE 2 of 7 • THETDN.COM SATURDAY, 23 JANUARY 2016

Runner-up in the G3 Prix la Force in 2013 when trained for Sheikh Hamdan by Jean-Claude Rouget, the consistent Sefri landed a rated conditions test over 1800 meters Dec. 18 before finishing fourth, better than six lengths adrift of Forjatt in a course-and-distance prep Jan. 8. Charpy took the decision to add blinkers and it paid off in spades. “If you look at his run in the prep race, he received a big bump on the bend and he is not the easiest of horses to balance at the best of times so it did not help. He still finished fourth in that and we put the half-blinkers on today to help him travel a bit better in the race. That worked and, once he gets to the front, he is a hard horse to pass. Charpy continued, “We will look at the [Listed] Jebel Ali S. [1950m, Dhs500,000 Feb. 19] and perhaps try him again at Meydan, but the style of dirt racing is fast and furious which did not suit him last season.” Sefri’s second dam is a Group 3-winning half-sister to GSWs Bint Salsabil and Sahm, both produced by champion Salsabil (Ire), while other members of the female family include Marju (Ire), Song of Tara (Ire) and Echo of Light (GB), the latter of which also hails from the Seeking the Gold sire line.

New Laurel to Bid for BC cont. “Frank [Stronach] wants to make Laurel his third jewel along with Santa Anita and Gulfstream,” Sinatra said. “The Breeders’ Cup has not been held on the East Coast in a long time [since 2007 at Monmouth Park] and we believe that not only is it time for it to be run in this part of the country, but that Laurel would be a perfect place to do so. We have a great turf course, we have all the advantages that come with being in close proximity to Washington, D.C. and this is going to be a spectacular facility when we are done. I’m not sure we’ll be ready to have the Breeders’ Cup in 2018 or not, but we definitely want to have one here.” Sinatra said that most of the work on the first floor of the building has been completed. Stronach will visit Laurel in person next week, and after he consults with Sinatra and other members of the Laurel team, the next phase of the renovation project is set to begin. With so much effort and expense being put into Laurel it might seem reasonable to move the GI Preakness S. to that racetrack. Sinatra would not rule out that some day the Preakness could go from Pimlico to Laurel, but said no such plans are imminent. “The Preakness will be run at Pimlico for the foreseeable future,” he said. “We are working with the state on options for upgrading the facility and studies are being done for feasibility.” Sinatra envisions Laurel some day becoming a “hub track” for the Mid-Atlantic region. Colonial Downs did not race in 2015 and its future is up in the air. Delaware Park has seen its business slip in part due to short fields. “We had several talks with Delaware and the people in Virginia last year about creating a circuit, but weren’t able to work anything out,” Sinatra said. “The people at Delaware Park were not interested, and that’s something we can’t control. One thing is certain, that with this turf course here and what we can do with it, Laurel needs to be racing in the summer. But with the foal crop declining and everyone struggling so much to fill fields, some sort of circuit in this area seems almost inevitable.”

Zulu to FOY cont. Pletcher has saddled the winners of the past two editions of the GI with fellow ‘TDN Rising Stars’ Constitution (Tapit) (2014) and Materiality (Afleet Alex) (2015). “I can’t say [Zulu] reminds me of the two Florida Derby winners. The horse that he reminds me of is Stay Thirsty,” Pletcher said of the 2011 GI Travers S. winner. “Physically, they’re very similar types and they’re both by Bernardini.”
