GOLD TOKEN Mr Alan Porter, May 21, 2003 – Sons of Forty Niner WEEKEND PEDIGREE Forty Niner revival, with some of the best runners coming from unexpected sources. Apart from the sires PERSPECTIVES mentioned above, at least another 17 Forty Niner sons by Alan Porter have sired stakes winners. This very varied collection is headed by Distorted Humor, whose first crop includes Friday, Pimlico Race Course not only Funny Cide, but also the Grade I-winning filly BLACK-EYED SUSAN S.-GII, $200,000, PIM, 5-16, Awesome Humor; the recently deceased Jules, whose 3yo, f, 1 1/8m, 1:52 1/5, sy. son Peace Rules finished third to Funny Cide in the 1--ROAR EMOTION, 122, f, 3, by Roar Kentucky Derby; Chilean-based Rich Man's Gold, 1st Dam: Emotional Outburst, by Capote whose son Lido Palace was a Chilean Triple Crown 2nd Dam: Joy to Raise, by Raise a Man winner and won back-to-back renewals of the GI 3rd Dam: Joy to Tell, by Tell Woodward S. when brought to the U.S; Luhuk, who ($30,000 wlng '00 KEENOV; $37,000 2yo 2002 started very well in Argentina, where his first crop OBSAPR).

Preakness S. double for sons of Forty Niner. A Roar, the sire of this weekend's Black Eyed Susan champion two-year-old who also won the GI Travers S. heroine Roar Emotion, was one of Forty Niner's better and was beaten only inches in the Kentucky Derby, performed and better bred sons. Winner of a maiden Forty Niner was a very consistent stakes sire (he now race at Saratoga at two and the GIII Swale S. and GII has 44 stakes winners from 516 starters), but was Jim Beam S. at three, Roar owns an extremely exported to Japan due to a shortage of scorers at the impressive pedigree. He is a half brother to the GI very highest level. He was more or less anointed as the Futurity S. winner Eastern Echo (sire of this year's next sire of sires in 1998, when End Sweep took the GISW Buddy Gil), and to graded-stakes winners Blare of champion freshman sire title while setting a new world Trumpets (Fit to Fight) and Yell (A.P. Indy). Roar's dam, record for two-year-old winners in a single season, and the MGSW Northern Dancer mare Wild Applause, is a other sons Tactical Advantage, Twining and Marked sister to the MGISW Hero's Honor and half sister to Tree all sired stakes winners. Two years later another several other good stakes winners, headed by Kentucky son, Gold Fever, looked set for stardom after getting Derby victor Sea Hero. Incidentally, since Roar is by a the outstanding filly Gold Mover in his first crop. Oddly son of Mr. Prospector out of a sister to Hero's Honor, enough, through a variety of circumstances, this “first he is bred on somewhat similar lines to hot young wave” of Forty Niners didn't end up having anything second season sire Elusive Quality, who is by a son of like the impact that might have been anticipated. End Mr. Prospector out of a Hero's Honor mare. Sweep, who events revealed to have been potentially a Roar and the previously mentioned Gold Fever retired very good sire, was exported to Japan and died last to Lane's End Farm for the same breeding season year, while 2002 also saw the premature demise of (1997) and like Gold Fever, Roar has also moved on to Tactical Advantage. Twining followed End Sweep to new pastures, in his case, the Rancho San Miguel in Japan, but following some good efforts from crops California. In his first two Lane's End crops, Roar sired sired prior to his export, he was repatriated for the two stakes winners. The MSW filly Madame Roar was 2002 season. He now stands at Vinery Kentucky and in the first, and SW & MGSP distaffer Roaring Blaze has sired 19 stakes winners from his first five crops, was in the second. The third crop, in addition to Roar including graded-stakes winners Two Item Limit, Top Emotion, also includes the MSW colt Coach Jimi Lee. Hit, Connected and Dawn of the Condor. Gold Fever Roar has also been shuttling to Argentina for the never really capitalized on his bright start and was sent Southern Hemisphere breeding season, and like several to New York, having sired just three stakes winners other sons of Forty Niner, has done well with his South from his first three crops. American runners. He has been represented by at least Since then, however, there has been something of a eight stakes winners, five of them graded, in Argentina, GOLD TOKEN Mr. ProspectorSConnie’s Gift, by Nijinsky II Sire of GOLDEN DAMSEL, runaway (9 3/4 lengths) winner of the $100,000 Bouwerie S. at Belmont, is the Runaway New York QUESTROYAL STUD, LLC 2nd Crop Leader by 2003 earnings and by cumulative earnings.

Roar Emotion is from a family which has improved rapidly in the last two years. She is the fourth foal and first winner for her dam, the Capote mare Emotional Outburst. A daughter of the SP mare Joy to Raise (by Raise a Man), Emotional Outburst is a 3/4-sister to the very talented Mayakovsky, who is by Capote's son Matty G out of Joy to Raise. On his two-year-old debut, Mayakovsky broke the Saratoga track record for 5 1/2 furlongs when scoring from subsequent GI Breeders' Cup Sprint runner-up Thunderello. A good second to the more experienced Came Home in the GI Hopeful S. on his next outing, Mayakovsky was sidelined by an injury for the rest of the two-year-old season. He returned at three to take one of the fastest renewals of the GIII Gotham S., but again his season was derailed by problems in training. It was recently announced that Mayakovsky, who added a turf allowance win to his record this year, would retire to stand the 2004 breeding season at Mill Creek Farm in Stillwater, New York. Prior to the appearance of Mayakovsky and Roar Emotion, the only black-type victory for a horse in the first three dams of this pedigree was that earned by Roar Emotion's third dam Joy to Tell, who captured the Atokad Futurity. The fourth dam Flower Bonnet was stakes-placed and is ancestress of numerous (mostly minor) stakes winners, although one of her granddaughters, Diorissimo, was a G1SW in South Africa and also produced Scented Royal, a champion two-year-old filly in that country. Flower Bonnet's third dam Nectarine is a stakes-winning sister to the multiple champion sire Bull Lea, who was the sire of such champions as Citation, Coaltown, Armed, Twilight Tear, Bewitch, Two Lea and Real Delight. We mentioned that both Funny Cide and Roar Emotion are by sons of Forty Niner, but the similarities between their pedigrees doesn't end there: both sires-- Distorted Humor and Roar--are products of a Forty Niner/Northern Dancer cross, and both dams are by sons of Seattle Slew. What is rather interesting is that while Mr. Prospector/Seattle Slew in general has been a very successful cross, it had not been working at all well via Forty Niner. In fact, prior to Funny Cide and Roar Emotion, the cross had produced only two unrestricted stakes winners, neither of them graded. With this in mind, we would be tempted to say that the modifying effect of Northern Dancer in the broodmare sire line of Distorted Humor and Roar has been important. With the specific case of Roar Emotion, we can also note that Roar’s fourth dam Searching is a member of the La Troienne family, and is a 3/4-sister to the siblings Busher and Striking, who both appear in the dam of Seattle Slew..

    $400,000 Pat Day Mile Presented by LG&E and KU (Grade III) 95th Running – Saturday, May 4, 2019 (Kentucky Derby Day) 3-Year-Olds at One Mile on Dirt at Churchill Downs Stakes Record – 1:34.18, Competitive Edge (2015) Track Record – 1:33.26, Fruit Ludt (2014) Name Origin: Formerly known as the Derby Trial, the one-mile race for 3-year-olds was moved from Opening Night to Kentucky Derby Day and renamed the Pat Day Mile in 2015 to honor Churchill Downs’ all-time leading jockey Pat Day. Day, enshrined in the National Museum of Racing’s Hall of Fame in 2005, won a record 2,482 races at Churchill Downs, including 156 stakes, from 1980-2005. None was more memorable than his triumph aboard W.C. Partee’s Lil E. Tee in the 1992 Kentucky Derby. He rode in a record 21 consecutive renewals of the Kentucky Derby, a streak that ended when hip surgery forced him to miss the 2005 “Run for the Roses.” Day’s Triple Crown résumé also included five wins in the Preakness Stakes – one short of Eddie Arcaro’s record – and three victories in the Belmont Stakes. His 8,803 career wins rank fourth all-time and his mounts that earned $297,914,839 rank second. During his career Day lead the nation in wins six times (1982-84, ’86, and ’90-91). His most prolific single day came on Sept. 13, 1989, when Day set a North American record by winning eight races from nine mounts at Arlington Park.
