TDN Q&A: AHMED ZAYAT LASIX DOMINATES CONGRESSIONAL DRUG REFORM HEARING By T.D. Thornton industry witnesses representing both pro and con sides of a federal bill requiring a uniform anti-doping and medication control program testified before a Congressional subcommittee on Friday, marking the first time that proponents and opponents of HR 2651 have been able to voice arguments while facing questioning from politicians who will decide if the measure advances. No clear-cut “winner” emerged from the June 22 proceedings before the Digital Commerce and Consumer Protection subcommittee. The most salient points of the two-hour debate came near the end, when questioning drifted away from the cumbersome subplot of Lasix usage and drilled down to the more specific issue of whether Congress needs to step in and impose independent oversight based on the fact that the sport Ahmed Zayat with 2018 Triple Crown winner Justify crosses state lines during the course of everyday wagering, Sarah K Andrew breeding, sales and racing commerce.

TDN: You are obviously not objective, but we have to ask you anyway, who’s the better horse, American Pharoah or Justify (Scat Daddy)? AZ: Everyone thinks their kids are the best. I think they are very different horses. American Pharoah, arguably, had the most incredible, super, dynamic mechanics. He had size, sheer power and an ability to move and float. Eighty or 90% of his race he actually spent in the air. He also had a demeanor that people will be talking about for years. He was so . He was pet-like. That distinguished him from a lot of regular horses, let alone Triple Crown horses. Add to that he was incredibly fast and he was dominant in his wins, winning by five, six lengths. He defined what a special, great horse is. Where does he fit among the 13 Triple Crown winners? Who cares? Is he better than Justify or is Justify better than him? I can’t answer that. They’re both special. I’m happy for Justify. I’m happy for any horse that wins the Triple Crown. Cont. p3 PUBLISHER & CEO Sue Morris Finley @suefinley [email protected]

Zayat Q&A cont. from p1

Zayat and American Pharoah | Coglianese Photo

TDN: Three years after Justify, we had another Triple Crown winner and both were trained by . That can’t be a coincidence. How is Baffert able to get so much out of these horses and, frankly, accomplish things with them that even the greatest trainers in the sport can’t?

AZ: Bob literally speaks to his horses. I watch Bob every morning at Del Mar when he works his horses and I see him calling audibles. He is so in tune with every little thing about the horse, their demeanor, their weight, how they are moving. He has such focus that he knows exactly what to do with the horse, exactly how they should be trained. What do I need to do today? What can I get out of them? He has it down to an art. I think Pharoah helped him with Justify as he had a dry run. He followed exactly exact the same script. When I went to visit him the day after Justify won the Triple Crown and I asked him, ‘Is it the horse or is it the trainer?’ He looked at me and just smiled and I said, ‘Bob, I think you just gave me your answer.’ He said, ‘No, no, no, it’s the horse.’ You really have to have the right trainer to get the most out of special, talented horses.

TDN: As yearling sale season approaches, what are you hearing about American Pharoah’s babies?

AZ: I believe that American Pharoah has all the qualities to make it as stallion. If he doesn’t, I don’t know who does. Intellectually, only 11% of all stallions become real successful stallions, meaning their progeny are runners and can produce a Grade I win. You look at the weanlings and the yearlings and you look at what American Pharoah has been throwing and they are all athletic, they have the same demeanor like the father, they are beautiful looking. Cont. p4 TDN HEADLINE NEWS • PAGE 4 OF 10 • THETDN.COM SATURDAY • JUNE 23, 2018

Zayat Q&A cont. The sign of a good stallion to me is his ability to move up their mares and that was the biggest thing I saw in Pioneerof the Nile. He wasn’t bred at first to the best broodmares and all the babies looked and acted the part and were fast. American Pharoah babies look unreal, they look athletic, they look correct. I myself have 12 of them and they all look the part. He was bred to as good a book of mares as you can imagine. Coolmore bred 40 mares of their own. All signs point to him being a very good stallion.

TDN: So what can we expect at the yearling sales? The weanlings sold phenomenally well. Are we going to see plenty of American Pharoahs sell for seven figures?

AZ: Oftentimes, price has nothing to do with getting a good or bad horse. Price is based on two bidders who both badly want a horse and bid against one another. I have bought horses for $80,000 who became Grade I winners and I have bought horses for $1 million who end up being $5,000 claimers. You hope you know what you are doing, you hope you are paying up for what everybody sees. But it is a guessing game when they are yearlings. You are looking at conformation, you are looking at pedigree, but it doesn’t mean that when you put the saddle on them and break them that they will be runners. But everybody tries to develop their own system to be able to maximize the probability of having a runner. When you look at the probabilities, and consider all the factors that made Pharoah so special, the chance that he throws runners is very high and we Congressional Hearing cont. from p1 are certainly hoping that will be the case. Testifying in support of HR 2651 were Stuart Janney III (chairman of The Jockey Club), Craig Fravel (chief executive of the Breeders’ Cup), and Kitty Block (acting president and chief executive of The Humane Society of the United States). That trio was opposed by Alan Foreman (chairman and chief executive of the Thoroughbred Horsemen’s Association, Inc.), Eric Hamelback (chief executive of the National Horsemen’s Benevolent and Protective Association), and Ed Martin (president, Association of Racing Commissioners International). The issue of Lasix usage percolated to the top of the discussion very soon after the start of the hearing, with supporters of the bill expressing a desire to end the race-day medicating of , while those against it explaining the therapeutic benefits of the anti-bleeding drug. While the Lasix topic is widely regarded as a familiar, hot-button issue to industry insiders, its emphasis might have been lost on some of the legislators who were hearing the term for the first time--and they heard it often over the course of nearly 2 1/2 hours of testimony. As a result, the 13 politicians who had requested five-minute allotments to verbally grill the witnesses spent a good chunk of that time asking questions like when is Lasix administered, what does it do to a horse’s lungs, and do horses feel pain from epistaxis.

But there is a system in place, and we work every day to strengthen it and try to make it better.” Rep. Markwayne Mullin (R-OK) was the first politician to JUSTIFY CHASERS HEADLINE OHIO DERBY attempt to steer the hearing squarely away from the Lasix issue. “We’re talking a lot about Lasix here--I get that,” Mullin said. “But the fact is that Congress does have a role on the commerce side of it when it crosses state lines, even when it comes to sports…. So when we’re starting to talk about the bill moving forward, it’s not about the industry. The industry can oversee itself…. I am not for over-regulating. I’m just asking the question: Does Congress have a role to play in this or not?” Mullin continued: “As much as I don’t like it, really that’s the end or the beginning of our conversation. When it crosses a state line, that is where our role comes into play…. I feel we’re a long ways from getting this fixed, but this is a conversation that needs to be had.” Rep.

These are the facts: from 1/1/2016 thru 7/31/17, there were 488,830 total starters. Of these, 216,522 were in claiming races (non-maidens) with a purse under $25,000. This is 44.3%. During this time, Pletcher, Baffert, Brown and Mott collectively had 4,588 starters. Only 39 of them were in those low-level claiming races. That is 0.85%. For Baffert, it was two out of 563.

An examination of all their starters, not just a handful of entries, completely validates Mr. Finley’s assertion that these trainers “rarely participate” in the types of races that constitute the bulk of the races that are run.

Sincerely, Steve Gazis

I read with heightened interest Bill Finley’s two-part article about the so-called super trainers. At last someone has the guts to at least ‘talk about’ a situation (in an open forum) that has been eroding our game for the last 20 years or so. I would like to relate (what I consider) an interesting and profound conversation I had many years ago with three Hall of Famers at Siro’s in Saratoga: John Nerud, Allen ‘The Chief’ Jerkens and Woody Stephens. By shear happenstance, I was in Siro’s that night and the three Hall of Famers were in the front room at the next table. I finally entered into their conversation and guess what? They were talking about this very issue. They unanimously agreed that limits could/should be placed on the number of horses in training for ANY trainer. Woody proffered that "no trainer can legitimately train more than 40-50 with any diligence.” Even then the subject was at the forefront of these legendary trainers conversations. I believe it was Allen Jerkens who said that The Jockey Club should administer the rules that would curtail 'monopoly trainers,' even mentioning appointing a national commissioner, such as Pete Rozelle, who at that time was NFL boss. While I agree with Pletcher that capitalism is the way America works, and that no one should be denied the right to hire any trainer, Thoroughbred has always been considered a sport first, and a business second. And sports, for the most part, guarantee fair play and competitive equanimity (drafts, etc.). Chad is right that the mega trainers should supplement the little guys (i.e. workers’ compensation). Reducing the mid- to lower-level trainers’ expenses would promote more competition. And in another way, as Finley notes, Ritvo is doing it in California via race conditions. More trainers, more starters is a must in horse racing. Larger fields equal larger handle equals more revenue to owners, trainers, racing commissions and the respective state coffers. More opportunity for smaller outfits is the only way racing maintains its rather precarious position in America’s gambling hierarchy.

But this gentleman has always had what it takes: balance, awareness, strength. The only missing ingredient, potentially, was the self-belief he revealed barely a year ago in renouncing the security of the only working environment he had known since leaving school. O'Donoghue was not going to die wondering. As such, he can be absolutely indulged the uncharacteristic assertiveness of his celebration--first pointing an index finger to his lips, and then to his own chest. It was wonderful, in fact, to see him disclose the competitive edge that must somewhere drive even horsemen as innately humble as his longtime mentor at Ballydoyle, Aidan O'Brien. Cont. p2

If you want to know about real class, then, just take a look at the people who yesterday produced the scintillating Alpha Centauri (Ire) (Mastercraftsman {Ire}) to state what looks an unanswerable case as the outstanding 3-year-old filly in Europe. Jessica Harrington's response to widowhood has been to vest all the joie de vivre of her late husband Johnny--one of Nature's gentlemen, if ever there was one--in the horses she has prepared to win so many championship jump races since his loss in 2014. With the help of her family, she has become an ever more dynamic force on the Flat, too, and now at last she also has a first Royal Ascot winner. Torcedor (Ire) (Fastnet Rock {Aus}) had run a mighty race when beaten only a length in the Gold Cup the previous day, while this filly had herself been beaten a neck on this card last year. But it turned out that Alpha Centauri was reserving her trainer's breakthrough here for the very highest level, in the G1 Coronation S.

Centauri Rises For Harrington cont. from p1 O'Donoghue will need all that self-belief if this filly retains form and fitness for what already, given the way she broke the track record over a turning mile on fast ground, seems to be written in the stars: a crack at the Breeders' Cup Mile. That race often turns into a crapshoot but this filly is built to look after herself against the colts; and class told, of course, in the two runnings won by her fabled third dam, Miesque (). If this was another breakout day for Mastercraftsman-- Agrotera (Ire), under a classic Jamie Spencer ride, proved another sensational filly from the same crop when giving Ed Walker his own maiden Royal Ascot winner in the Sandringham H.--then proceedings had already added fresh lustre to Miesque's family tree. For the fourth dam of Old Persian (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}), winner of the G2 King Edward VII S. for Charlie Appleby, is a full sister to Miesque.

Charlie Appleby and Sheikh Mohammed after winning the King=s Stand with on Tuesday | Racing Post

Let's make no bones about this. When Appleby, previously assistant to Mahmood Al Zarooni, was promoted to replace his disgraced boss five years ago, from the outside it looked a fairly cussed solution to the humiliation visited upon Godolphin by Mahmood Al Zarooni. When the stable's traditional antagonists at Coolmore hired O'Brien, for instance, he had already made a record-breaking start to his career, albeit taking on the likes of Harrington with jumpers. Appleby, in contrast, had spent 15 years working his way through the ranks at Godolphin: groom, travelling head lad, assistant trainer. The only obvious virtue of his appointment was that it enabled Sheikh Mohammed to stress that the steroids scandal was down to Al Zarooni's individual culpability, and that the stable's founding ethics--adventure, sportsmanship and youth--remained undiminished.

Centauri Rises for Harrington cont.

With hindsight, that was a big-hearted stand for "the Boss" to have made in such an excruciating moment of crisis. As such, then, you can only imagine how proud he must be of this transformative summer in Appleby's career. Yes, the Sheikh has meanwhile also had the strategic sense to add a number of proven masters to Godolphin's training roster. But Appleby himself has unmistakably come of age. To begin with, he appeared to depend for his confidence on the kind of strike-rate he could sustain by farming lesser races: maidens, handicaps, Meydan pots. Now, as a Derby-winning trainer, both Appleby and his horses seem entirely at home in advancing through the elite. Already this week he had taken the 4-year-old Blue Point (Ire) (Shamardal) to a new peak in the G1 King's Stand S., and now he has added the "Ascot Derby" to the Epsom original won by (Ire) ( {Ire}). What's more, the way Old Persian is going, you could not rule out the possibility that he might add a second Classic to Appleby's 2018 laurels in the St Leger.

QUEEN VICTORIA FELT THERE WAS NO SUCH THING AS A “FAST” LADY; ONLY FAST WOMEN. BUT SHE MIGHT HAVE MADE AN EXCEPTION FOR ALPHA CENTAURI.

True, the Miesque connection is all zip. But there is stamina loaded elsewhere in his pedigree: his dam, by Singspiel (Ire) ( {GB}), is a sister to a Group 2 winner at a mile and a half; and while we still wait for Dubawi to make a real impact in the Derby, the genes he offers include those of his dam's grandsires, Dancing Brave and (GB). If this didn't prove too punishing a test at the trip, it was nonetheless Old Persian's first attempt beyond 10 furlongs and he took due opportunity to show the length of his stride and the size of his heart. Appleby had been thwarted by just a neck with La Pelosa (Ire) (Dandy Man {Ire}) in the opener, the G3 Albany S., but can take heart from the reflection that precisely the same was true 12 months ago of Alpha Centauri.
