ZINC WHITE HEADS GOFFS LONDON SALE FRANKIE LOOKING FOR A Selectivity was the watchword for the Goffs London Sale, FLYING START which returned after an absence in 2020 and was held online for the first time. While Royal Ascot will be able to welcome 12,000 racegoers daily this year, the week will have nothing like the normal buzz about it, with most international travellers prevented from attending. It is impossible to reproduce virtually the garden party atmosphere of the London Sale which, over the previous six years at Kensington Palace, has provided an enjoyable warm up to the most sociable week of racing in the calendar. The sale's unique selling point has always been the inclusion of horses entered to race during the Royal Meeting. Just three of the 11 lots were sold this year, but there was still an international feel to proceedings with the buyers hailing from , and Britain. Cont. p5

Baffert Files Suit Against NYRA (cont. from p1) In the suit, Baffert seeks, among other things, a declaration that NYRA is prohibited from denying horses he owns or trains from entering races at NYRA tracks, denying him the privileges of the grounds, and denying him stall space. He is seeking a preliminary and permanent injunction from NYRA from further banning him from the tracks, and says that if that does not happen, he will suffer immediate and irreparable harm. Attachments to the suit include a letter sent to Baffert from NYRA May 17 outlining the reasons for the suspension. The letter, signed by NYRA President and CEO David O'Rourke, reads, ANYRA has determined that the best interests of Thoroughbred racing compel the temporary suspension of your entering horses in races and occupying stall space at our racetracks. To do otherwise would compromise NYRA's investment in its operations as well as the public's perception of Thoroughbred racing generally.@ The letter says that NYRA would make a final determination on the length and the terms of the suspension in the future Abased on information revealed during the course of the ongoing investigation in Kentucky.@ The suit makes a distinction between NYRA and other private entities. ANYRA is a not-for-profit franchised corporation created by the State of New York. However, unlike other state-created not-for-profit corporations, the existence and operation of NYRA is specifically governed by the New York law that grants it the exclusive franchise to conduct live Thoroughbred racing and simulcasting at the state-owned racetracks on behalf of the state, from which the state derives substantial revenue.@ The suit continues, ANYRA controls the operation of all major Thoroughbred racetracks within the State of New York and operates as an effective monopoly. NYRA does not have the legal authority to suspend Baffert--that rests solely with the Gaming Commission as the entity that issued his occupational license--a license that affords Baffert a property interest under state law sufficient to invoke due process protections. Despite this fact, by purporting to summarily and indefinitely suspend Baffert from all NYRA tracks, NYRA has essentially barred Baffert from exercising his professional and State-issued trainer's license anywhere in the State of New York. Additionally, NYRA has purported to suspend Baffert and the use of his license without any notice or opportunity to be heard in violation of due process. Lastly, by connecting Baffert's Asuspension@ to the Kentucky investigation, which is likely to go on for years, NYRA has correspondingly banned Baffert from participating in New York racing for several years.@ In response to Baffert's lawsuit, NYRA's Senior Director of Communications Patrick McKenna, issued the following a statement. (cont. p4) TDN HEADLINE NEWS • PAGE 4 OF 7 • THETDN.COM TUESDAY • JUNE 15, 2021

AOn May 17, the New York Racing Association, Inc. (NYRA) temporarily suspended Bob Baffert from entering horses in races and occupying stall space at Belmont Park, Saratoga Race Course and Aqueduct Racetrack. NYRA took this action to protect the integrity of the sport for our fans, the betting public and racing participants following Mr. Baffert=s public acknowledgement that the Kentucky Derby winner Medina Spirit tested positive for betamethasone, a banned corticosteroid. In making the determination to temporarily suspend Mr. Baffert, NYRA took into account the fact that other horses trained by Mr. Baffert have failed drug tests in the recent past, resulting in the assessment of penalties against him by Thoroughbred racing regulators in Kentucky, California, and Arkansas. NYRA will vigorously defend the action it has taken in this matter."

Tony Lacy's Vision for the Sales (cont. from p1) A fourth-generation horsemen, Lacy began his career in his native Ireland working as an assistant trainer to his father, T.F. 'Tom' Lacy, while also becoming an accomplished amateur jockey both on the flat and over jumps. He then worked stints as an assistant trainer in France, the U.S. and Dubai. He landed back in the U.S. in 2001 to help launch Four Star Sales and began taking on advisory and managerial roles for many successful racing and breeding operations. Over the years, he has represented Emirates Racing and the in the U.S., served as the North American Representative for ARQANA, and advised the French Breeding and Racing Committee and France Galop. He currently serves on the board of New Vocations and is also the incoming president for the Thoroughbred Club of America. AI think my experiences on the track and in the breeding industry help me understand the dynamics of what trainers are looking for, as well as the strife and struggle of a breeder,@ Lacy said. AI=ve bought quite a number of horses over the years, so from that perspective, I=ve seen it from many angles. I=m not saying that I know it all--far from it--but I think I can relate to what people are really going through if they have an issue or they=re looking for improvements in any aspect.@ In his first few weeks on the job, Lacy has worked closely with Geoffrey Russell, who served Keeneland=s auction house for the last 25 years and officially retired this year, but will serve as a consultant through the remainder of 2021. AComing in as vice president of sales, it=s really an all- encompassing position,@ Lacy said. AIn the first few weeks, I=ve gotten exposed to a lot of aspects of how every department interacts with each other, which certainly allows you to balance everything out and understand why something is possible or might not be possible.@ Cont. p5 TDN HEADLINE NEWS • PAGE 5 OF 7 • THETDN.COM TUESDAY • JUNE 15, 2021

AThe introduction of walking videos, as well as just a little more transparency with information, all help the process.

It=s a lesson he remembered time and time again as a consignor at Keeneland and one that helped Four Star Sales become one of North America=s leading sales agencies. AThere is a fun aspect to a sale that the buyers need to be able to enjoy,@ he said. AIt=s not always about the transaction. It=s about the competitiveness and trying to find the next Derby horse.

The rules, put into effect by the New Jersey Racing Commission, allow jockeys to carry whips but they can only use them when they feel they are in an unsafe situation. At no point in a race can a jockey use the whip to encourage the horse. Jockeys Joe Bravo and Antonio Gallardo have refused to ride at the meet due to safety concerns, but Monmouth has had no problem finding enough jockeys willing to ride. Ten racing days into the meet, the racing has been conducted without any noticeable safety issues.
