To a Distaff Win Charting a Course to Victory Class SATURDAY, OCTOBER 31, 2015 ‘CHARGING’ TO A DISTAFF WIN CLASS, TALENT TRUMP ADVERSITY AT BC Town and Country Farms’ Stopchargingmaria (Tale of the Cat) By T.D. Thornton overcame a very wide trip and a stewards’ inquiry to defeat This year’s two-day lineup of Breeders’ Cup races projected to California raider Stellar Wind (Curlin) in the $2-million be strong in terms of equine talent and deep in engaging GI Longines Breeders’ Cup storylines. But Friday’s card, traditionally pegged as the Distaff, the main event on appetizer to Saturday’s main course, served up its own satisfying Ladies’ Day Friday at spread of intrigue. Keeneland. Curalina (Curlin) Overcoming on-track adversity with meticulous race-riding made a middle move into tactics seemed to be the overall contention on the theme. But a lights-out display of backstretch and stayed on raw power from trip-troubled well in the final half-furlong Liam's Map (Unbridled’s Song) in Stopchargingmaria sees off to complete a 1-3 finish for the GI Dirt Mile posed a Stellar Wind | Keeneland/Coady the Todd Pletcher barn, tantalizing question that won’t successful earlier in the day with ‘TDN Rising Star’ Liam’s Map be answered until after (Unbridled’s Song) in the GI Dirt Mile.

He when this happens because it's such a big race and you don't piloted the 4-year-old to a 2 1/2-length score in the Dirt Mile want to get taken down, but I did nothing wrong,” Javier with what looked like devastating ease after a nightmare Castellano explained. “My horse ran a great race and I kept a journey that included a poor start, being locked in a box all the straight path and was keeping the horse straight."

Cont. p3 Entering Friday’s GI Las Vegas Breeders’ Cup Dirt Mile, racing luck--or, specifically, bad racing luck--probably had a better chance of beating ‘TDN Rising Star’ Liam’s Map (Unbridled’s Song) than any of the 10 other rivals that signed up to take on the fleet gray. As it turned out, fate nearly intervened, as the $800,000 Keeneland September yearling purchase missed the break and was snookered away as some of the Keeneland/Coady photography opposition tried to capitalize on the early misfortune. But the good ones always seem to find a way to win when the chips are down, and Liam’s Map finally found running room as they cornered and powered away from Lea (First Samurai) for an ultimately comfortable 2 1/2-length victory. Red Vine (Candy Ride {Arg}) sat a ground-saving trip, but made no late impact and finished a distant third.

He showed he’s got great skill today…When you ride the best horse in the country--I think he paid off.” Trainer Todd Pletcher would have none of the “Did you choose the right race?” line of questioning after Liam’s Map’s victory, deflecting the first of what are sure to be many queries about what it might have been like to instead have thrown down against Triple Crown hero American Pharoah (Pioneerof the Nile) in the Classic. Then, going about their business as the continent’s highest-earning individual trainer and jockey have done all year, Pletcher and Castellano came back two races later to capture the featured GI Distaff with Stopchargingmaria (Tale of the Cat). The Distaff unfolded as a mad cavalry dash from the quarter pole to the wire, with at least nine fillies and mares in contention to win it at the head of the lane and six of them lining up across the track approaching the final furlong. The two who opted for the widest paths off the turn were left to fight it out in deep stretch, and although Stopchargingmaria and Stellar Wind (Curlin) exchanged bumps and engaged in drifting out-induced roughhousing caused by the eventual winner, the stewards saw no hard evidence to compel them to reverse Stopchargingmaria’s battle-weary neck decision. The two grass races for juveniles lived up their annual billings as wide-open shootouts among full fields of 14, and there was little doubt that the best 2-year-olds of their respective sexes won each division, despite mid-priced horses topping the exacta over the actual betting favorites in each affair. In the GI Juvenile Turf, Hit It a Bomb (War Front) scored a convincing last-to-first neck victory in a three-way photo thanks to a ground-saving go followed by deft maneuvering through the pack by jockey Ryan Moore. The win erased substantial pre-race chatter about whether the Aidan O’Brien-trained colt could overcome the far outside post and yielding course, which Moore characterized as “loose” turf that would be called “good/soft” in Europe. The pace-pressing win by Catch a Glimpse (City Zip) in the GI Juvenile Fillies Turf can also be chalked up to impeccable horsebacking by jockey Florent Geroux. Not wanting to get pinned down inside fully committed long-shot frontrunner Ruby Notion (Great Notion) as the tandem sprinted solo into the first turn, Geroux repositioned the Mark Casse trainee to the outside of the primary pacemaker, then settled down the tempo. Catch a Glimpse gamely had enough left late to repel a barrage of off-the-back challengers, with the top five fillies separated by barely three lengths.

One of the challenges that the iconic track-- and the entire Southern California circuit--faces is the issue of field size and optimal horse population management. Twice this spring, on Apr. 27 and June 8, Santa Anita has had to call off Thursday racing because of an inability to fill entries, and the track has since received permission from the California Horse Racing Board to drop the Thursday cards scheduled for June 15 and 22. In a Friday phone interview with TDN=s T.D. Thornton, Ritvo outlined both short- and long-term strategies that TSG might undertake to bolster the racing product. An edited transcript follows.

    THURSDAY, MAY 6, 2021 AMERICAN PHAROAH, SUPER TRAINERS IN CALIFORNIA: THE STORY IN NUMBERS PLETCHER, FISHER 2021 by Dan Ross Over the years, the rise of the so-called super trainer has INDUCTEES INTO HOF prompted many a clutched pearl by virtue of a perceived monopoly on the sport. Anecdotally, it can certainly appear as though the same few names wield an outsized impact. But what does the data say? The TDN has crunched the numbers in California from 2007 onward. This is far from a comprehensive overview of the situation, and what emerges is a picture that can be viewed from multiple angles. On the one hand, the numbers suggest that the biggest stables in the state have indeed consolidated their positions at the top during a long period of market contraction. Yet at the same time, other indicators afford tentative encouragement for the smaller players.

    SUNDAY, 24 JULY, 2016 SNITZEL EQUALS 40-YEAR-OLD RECORD HIGHLAND REEL WIRES By Kelsey Riley THE KING GEORGE Leading Australian sire Snitzel (Aus) (Redoute=s Choice {Aus}) reached a significant milestone on Saturday when Bukzel (Aus) became his 30th 2-year-old winner of the season when taking a Newcastle maiden on debut for trainers Peter and Paul Snowden. That win saw Snitzel tie the record for number of juvenile winners in a single season for an Australian sire, held by Without Fear (Fr), which has stood for 40 years. Twenty-nine of those winners have come in Australia and one in South Africa: the exciting Mike de Kock-trained colt Heavenly Blue (Aus).
