TDN EUROPE • PAGE 5 OF 11 • THETDN.COM FRIDAY • 19 FEBRUARY 2021

Tracking the pace set by Waady (Ire) (Approve {Ire}) and the elder statesman Caspian Prince (Ire) ( {Ire}) from the inside early, Equilateral cruised to the front under at about halfway and was never seriously threatened, hitting the wire a length to the better of Nigel Tinkler=s 3-year- old Acklam Express (Ire) (Mehmas {Ire}) and the top-rated A=Ali (Ire) ( {Ire}), who both made up ground late. "I was happy all the way,@ said Atzeni. AHe jumped good and travelled really nicely. He took me there so easily and I probably got there earlier than I would have liked, but I didn't want to disappoint him and to be fair to the horse, he kept going all the way to the line." Equilateral made a winning carnival debut last January in the Listed Dubai Dash over this course and distance, having been gelded after a listed win at and some respectable runs in pattern-level sprints in Britain, in particular the G3 Palace House S. where he was a head second to the Group 1-winning mare Mabs Cross (GB) (Dutch Art {GB}). He returned to Britain after his Meydan Sprint second last year and ran a career best when second to his Charlie Hills stablemate Battaash (Ire) (Dark Angel {Ire}) in the G1 King=s Stand S., after which he was sold. Equilateral failed to hit the board in his next three outings, including the G1 and the G1 Flying Five S., and rounded out the season with a third in Newbury=s G3 Dubai International Airport S. The bay issued a warning with a strong first-up win in handicap company at Meydan Jan. 21, and stamped himself a G1 frontrunner Thursday.

Pedigree Notes Being a product of the dynasty, it should come as no surprise that Equilateral has a stout pedigree behind him, and indeed his unraced dam Tarentaise (GB) ( {GB}) is a half-sister to (GB) (Selkirk)--who enjoyed his greatest day at Meydan when winning the 2012 G1 Dubai Duty Free and who was also a Group 3 winner in Britain, and Ireland and multiple Group 1-placedBand the Group 2 winner and popular sire Bated Breath (GB) (Dansili {GB}).

AFTER A YEAR TO REMEMBER, FONNER Not that there will be a pall over this opener. It's just that Fonner will go to back to being what it always was, a local track PARK RETURNS FRIDAY by Bill Finley that has learned how to survive without bells, whistles, million- dollar handles or graded stakes. It's the people of Nebraska that have made Fonner special, something out of a different and better era for the sport. Pre-pandemic, the on-track crowds were so healthy that they sold out all the seats in the grandstand on Saturdays. This year, the fans will be allowed back, but, because of COVID-19, Fonner plans to limit the crowd to 75% of capacity. That will allow them to seat about 4,000 fans. "These people love their horse racing and they love to have a good time in the afternoon," Kotulak said. "We're here to give them what they want. They are rabidly to return." Kotulak said that a mask mandate will be strictly enforced and that anyone who refuses to wear one will be asked to leave. It's personal for him. In October, both he and his wife tested

Fonner's 2021 meet begins Friday, but it "We're going to resume as if there was no change at all in our won't be anything like last year. While the coronavirus is still a presentation," Kotulak said.

When we did that, people just gobbled advantage of and the competition from places like Gulfstream, them up." Cont. p8 Aqueduct and Santa Anita means that Fonner's handle will dwindle back into the low six figures. They're back to running a Friday-through-Sunday schedule and know that their season in the spotlight is a thing of the past. "In 2020, we knew there was something very specific going on because of COVID," said Fonner CEO Chris Kotulak. "We were running on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday at a time when there were just five racetracks in the country running. During the week, it was just us and Will Rogers Downs. Of course, that isn't the case anymore. On top of that there are quite a few other sporting events and other wagering opportunities now. Vegas is back. Sports betting is certainly more profound than it was a year ago.

Fonner Park cont. While Kotulak understands that handle will fall dramatically at the upcoming meet, he's hopeful that at least some of the horseplayers who discovered Fonner last year liked it enough that they will be back for more. "People realized that Fonner Park is a charming little gem of racing in the United States," he said. "There were people who had never seen racing from Fonner Park before and I think many of them were pleasantly surprised. How many Thoroughbred tracks are there that conduct racing over a five-eighths of a mile racetrack? That was new for a lot of people and I think they liked that up close, tight action that happens on a five-eighths racetrack." This year's meet will run through Day, May 1.
