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 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.

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.

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 () 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.

Mike Smith cont. from p1 AI was given the opportunity to come back and ride a horse in California and in doing so, I went out to dinner that night with John Shirreffs and Mr. Moss,@ Smith recalled. 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 (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 (=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

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.

A field of 14 have accepted for the A$1-million contest, with three of those having also accepted in the G1 Australian Guineas which is run 20 minutes after in Melbourne. Which race those three will contest is currently unknown, but connections of G1 VRC Derby winner Prized Icon (Aus) (More Than Ready) have indicated their colt is currently in Melbourne. Chris Waller=s Comin= Through (Aus) (Fastnet Rock {Aus}), a half-brother to top-class multiple Group 1 winner Criterion (NZ) (Sebring {Aus}), will be ridden by Joao Moreira, and while the colt is arguably one of the most inexperienced in the field with only five runs under his belt, he does have wet form and his last start third behind favoured runner Man From Uncle (Aus) (Uncle Mo) should see him a leading contender.

"He was a great horse, but time waits for no man and he's been retired,@ said trainer Eddie Lynam. "He's been a wonderful horse and he's going out on his own terms, as he's totally sound. His form up to 2015 had been at a very high level, but his form has dipped in recent years as, like all of us, he's got slower as he's got older.@ Campaigned by Sabena Power, Sole Power first gained acclaim when besting the world champion sprinter (Aus) (Choisir {Aus}) in the G1 Nunthorpe S. at 100-1 as a 3-year- old in 2010. He won the G2 Temple S. the following year and was just touched off when a head third in the G1 Prix de l=Abbaye.

The dark bay went winless in eight tries last year but nonetheless acquitted himself well running in Dubai, England and Ireland. Sole Power made three starts at this year=s Dubai World Cup Carnival and was last seen finishing sixth in the G3 Meydan Sprint on Feb. 16. Sole Power won 12 of 65 starts and earned more than ,2- million. "I've never trained a more genuine, happier and sounder horse than Sole Power,@ Lynam said. "I've been training since I was 21 and I'm 55 now. I was a nobody until he came around and he's taken me to places I never felt were possible to go to.@ Lynam said Sole Power would spend a few months winding down at his yard before departing for his retirement home. "Putting him on the horsebox that one last time, that will be the saddest day," the trainer said.
