SMITH out to CONQUER >WORLD= with ARROGATE FRIDAY, MARCH 3, 2017 SIX TO WATCH FOR FROM FASIG-TIPTON SMITH OUT TO CONQUER by Brian DiDonato This week=s Fasig-Tipton Gulfstream Sale again featured a very >WORLD= WITH ARROGATE promising group of 2-year-olds, including many who turned in extremely strong works. You don=t need me to tell you how good the toppers looked, so here are six prospects under $450,000 (in the bottom 75% or so of those who sold) who might be worth keeping an eye out for. HIP 11, c, Union Rags--Woodford Girl, by Honour and Glory Breeder: Lantern Hill Farm (Ky) Consignor: Eddie Woods, Agent LIII Buyer: Whitehorse & Three Chimneys Price: $435,000 This $195,000 KEESEP acquisition immediately reminded me of his accomplished and precocious sire coming through the lane in his :10 2/5 breeze. He=s fairly compact, but extremely well- muscled and powerful-looking, and looks like he should come to hand pretty early. He got over the ground very fluidly and appears to have some speed. Cont. p5 Mike Smith and Arrogate after winning the Breeders= Cup Classic IN TDN EUROPE TODAY Eclipse Sportswire SPRINTING VETERAN SOLE POWER RETIRED Five-time Group 1 winner Sole Power has been retired at age by Joe Bianca 10. He will spend his retirement at Horse Park Stud in Ireland. In May of 2005, Mike Smith piloted a gray colt by one of his Click or tap here to go straight to TDN Europe. beloved former mounts to a 50-1 upset in the GI Kentucky Derby. Giacomo (Holy Bull) represented the jockey=s first career win in the Run for the Roses, and it should have been the springboard to new heights of success for the New Mexico native. Instead, the Derby score was an outlier during the toughest period for Smith=s business since he left Canterbury Downs to ride on racing=s biggest stages in 1989. AI more or less did it to myself,@ Smith said of the lull in his career. AI thought, >well I=ll just hang out in Kentucky for a little bit,= and thought I=d ease my way back east for a little while.@ Smith, who moved to California in 2000 after riding in New York for the better part of a decade, returned to the Big Apple and rode just 81 winners in 2005, a total that was tied for 250th in the country. It was a conversation with Giacomo=s co-owner, Jerry Moss, that got Smith=s career back on a fast track. Cont. p3 PRESIDENT & CO-PUBLISHER Barry Weisbord @barryweisbord [email protected] SR.

AMr. Moss said, >What are you doing out there? Why don=t you just come back and ride all my horses?= That was my opportunity. I literally went home, I packed, and I was back in California two days later. Then things just took off. I got back in town, put my nose to the grindstone and have kept it there ever since.@ Smith officially staked his return to racing=s upper echelon with another Moss charge, four-time Eclipse Award winner Zenyatta (Street Cry {Ire}), and he has been the regular rider of fellow champions Shared Belief (Candy Ride {Arg}) and Songbird (Medaglia d=Oro) in recent years. But it=s his partnership with another gray colt by another one of his beloved former mounts that has the potential to take the 51-year-old Smith=s career to its highest altitude yet. >TDN Rising Star= Arrogate (Unbridled=s Song), a $560,000 Keeneland September yearling purchase by Juddmonte Farms, missed all of his 2-year-old season, but captured three of his first four starts as a sophomore, signaling considerable promise in each performance. Largely untested in his wins, however, he entered the Aug. 27 GI Travers S. as an unknown commodity. That could explain why Rafael Bejarano, who was in the irons for all three of Arrogate=s victories, opted to ride trainer Bob Baffert=s other entry in the race, the more established stakes winner American Freedom (Pulpit). Smith, who was already at Saratoga that day to ride fellow Baffert trainee Drefong (Gio Ponti) in the GI King=s Bishop S., gladly took the pickup mount. After a breathtaking 13 1/2-length romp in a track record 1:59.36 later, Smith knew he had struck gold. Cont. p4 Arrogate all alone in his Travers romp Jamie Coulter TDN HEADLINE NEWS • PAGE 4 OF 8 • THETDN.COM FRIDAY • MARCH 3, 2017 Smith cont. AI remember looking over at the [big screen] and thinking, >Oh man! Did he just open up by that many, that quickly?=@ Smith said. AThen I saw that the time was under two minutes and I was floored. And I still thought that we had room to grow.@ That thought proved correct. Arrogate followed up his Travers romp by besting Horse of the Year California Chrome (Lucky Pulpit) in the GI Breeders= Cup Classic Nov. 5. Then, a week after being crowned champion 3-year-old male for 2016, he scored another devastating, track record-setting victory in the inaugural running of the $12-million GI Pegasus World Cup Invitational Jan. 28 at Gulfstream Park. AHe=s incredible,@ Smith exclaimed. AI don=t know if I=ve ever been on this kind of horse, with the speed and stamina that he has. It=s jaw-dropping. On top of all that, I don=t think we=ve gotten to see how good he really is yet, which is crazy. In seven starts, he=s already done things that the greats haven=t done.@ Equally impressive to Smith as Arrogate=s stratospheric talent level is how unflappable and easy-going the colt is. AWhat=s great about him is his mannerisms,@ Smith relayed. AHe=s a big old laid back dude. He doesn=t know how special he is and he really doesn=t care. He just goes out and does his job and is just happy to get a carrot when he gets back to the barn. He=s not a diva, doesn=t need all kinds of stuff, he=s just a cool, laid back horse who=s just happy to hang out.@ Earlier this week, it was announced that Arrogate would ship to the United Arab Emirates to run in the Mar. 25 $10 million G1 Dubai World Cup. The 2,000-meter test is one of the few prestigious dirt races that Smith has yet to land.

  • 2015-2016 Legislative Session
    FOR EDITORIAL BACKGROUND: The 2015-16 session of the General Assembly was marked by budget difficulties and hardship resulting from the failure of Republicans to negotiate on a number of key issues. The Republicans largely refused to deal with or even acknowledge many of the problems that plague Pennsylvania and turned their collective noses up at reasonable, responsible policies designed to help working men and women, school students, seniors and Pennsylvania’s most vulnerable. There was a nine-month budget impasse in 2015 that stretched into 2016, a string of non- negotiated hardline budgets, repeated vetoes and little movement on key issues. Despite a first-year forward-looking budget presentation from Gov. Tom Wolf and a myriad of new initiatives identified by the governor and Senate Democrats, Republicans stymied progress across the board. However, in spite of Republican obstinacy, the governor -- aided by Senate Democrats -- was able to push several positive measures across the finish line; notably, new education funding, including $415 million in basic education, $60 million for early childhood programs, $50 million for special education plus more were approved in the session. The General Assembly also passed a new measure designed to ensure fair funding for all public schools (Act 35). The General Assembly also passed a liquor modernization plan, a package of measures to deal with opioid abuse and medical marijuana legalization. Legislation is coded as follows: a single asterisk indicates Senate passage, two asterisks indicate Senate and House passage, and three asterisks indicate the measure became law. A "V" means the governor vetoed the bill. AGING AND YOUTH *** Activities for Foster Children -- The Senate unanimously approved House Bill 477, which allows caregivers of children in out-of-home placements to approve or disapprove their child’s participation in age-appropriate activities without prior approval.
