(Wednesday, May 2, 2018) – All entrants but one for the Kentucky Derby and Kentucky Oaks were on the track at Churchill Downs on a balmy Wednesday morning in Kentucky. The one is UAE Derby (Grade II) winner Mendelssohn , who is expected to clear quarantine later today and be on the track Thursday morning. Trained by Aiden O’Brien , Mendelssohn has walked under tack with a rider up in the shedrow the past two mornings. KENTUCKY DERBY NOTES AUDIBLE/MAGNUM MOON/NOBLE INDY/VINO ROSSO – Trainer Todd Pletcher stayed on schedule with his quartet of Kentucky Derby runners, sending the four colts trackside Wednesday morning at Churchill Downs during the special Derby/Oaks training period at 7:30 for steady gallops around the historic Kentucky oval. Audible (with regular exercise rider Amelia Green attached), Magnum Moon (Nick Bush up), Noble Indy (Carlos Cano the rider) and Vino Rosso (Adele Bellinger aboard) all galloped a mile and a quarter on a delightful weather morning. The only variance in the group came with Noble Indy’s side trip to the starting gate, where he stood briefly. Pletcher, whose record seven Eclipse Awards as the nation’s leading trainer was built on discipline, order and attention to detail, has all of those things in play this week as pressure builds, the crowd around his Barn 40 grows and racing’s most noteworthy prize looms for Saturday.

    The couple make monthly visits to their Kentucky farm, which they have named The Bensons at Greenwood Lodge. 36 SUMMER 2017 K KEENELAND.COM DIVINE CALLING Faith united Gayle and Tom Benson, who share a love of Thoroughbred racing By Maryjean Wall / Photos by Kirk Schlea TOM AND GAYLE BENSON juggle two professional sports teams, a racing stable, and, since last October, a Bourbon County horse farm. Benson laughed when he caught himself mentioning he and his friends sat at last year’s Kentucky Derby on the 50-yard line — forgive him, the finish line. Keeping track of a jet-set agenda that orbits around multiple sports is an everyday thing for the Bensons. It can’t be easy keeping all this straight. KEENELAND.COM K SUMMER 2017 37 divine calling In tribute to Tom’s first car dealership, Gayle Benson had a golf cart converted to resemble a ’57 Chevy. At any time the Bensons could be at training camp for their New Orleans Saints. Or flying to an away game for their New Orleans Pelicans. Or checking in at Keeneland. Last year they added the Derby to their whirlwind itinerary, watching two of Gayle’s horses, Mo Tom and Tom’s Ready, finish off the board. But all was not lost. Moving on last fall to the Breeders’ Cup Dirt Mile, Tom’s Ready ran a respectable fifth: not a bad finish to the season for this on-the-go couple in their first few years of racing. The Bensons’ goals for their horses are no dif- ferent from those of others participating at Thor- oughbred racing’s elite levels: They want to win the major events.

(Sunday, Oct. 28, 2018) – Southern California invader and Del Mar Debutante (Grade I) runner-up Mother Mother led nearly every step of the way in Sunday’s sixth running of the $103,116 Rags to Riches Overnight Stakes to easily beat late- running Molto Bella by 1 ¾ lengths on opening day of Churchill Downs’ 21-day Fall Meet. Ridden by Florent Geroux and trained by Hall of Famer Bob Baffert , Mother Mother broke alertly from post No. 2 in the field of seven 2-year-old fillies and comfortably rattled off quarter-mile splits of :22.55, :45.16 and 1:09.82 over the “fast” track before stopping the teletimer in 1:36.72 for the one-mile race. “When Bob sends horses to Kentucky, you can always feel confident putting them up into the race,” said Geroux, who won last year’s Rags to Riches aboard eventual Longines Kentucky Oaks winner Monomoy Girl – a top contender in Saturday’s $4 million Breeders’ Cup Distaff (GI). “She ended up getting a little tired late but put her head down and tried hard to the end. She is very professional. She switched leads at the right time and tried hard.” Mother Mother earned $61,503 for her ownership group of George Bolton , Barry Hall , Barry Lipman , Mark Mathiesen and Andrew Molasky .
