THIS SIDE UP: SWISS SKYDIVER RETURNS TO ARCADIA FOR BEHOLDER MILE RIVER LEVELS RISING Champion Swiss Skydiver (Daredevil) crushed her competition on her last trip to the west coast for the GII Santa Anita Oaks last spring and looks to repeat that performance Saturday when she returns to Santa Anita for the GI Beholder Mile. Capturing the GII Gulfstream Park Oaks and GIII Fantasy S. prior to the Santa Anita Oaks last term, the chestnut took on males next out in the GII Toyota Blue Grass S. July 11, finishing a respectable second to Art Collector (Bernardini). Returning to winning ways next out in Saratoga's 10-panel GI Alabama S. Aug. 15, the $35,000 KEESEP buy checked in second to GII Azeri S.-bound Shedaresthedevil (Daredevil) in the GI Kentucky Oaks Sept. 4. Trainer Ken McPeek felt confident enough in his charge to try her against males again in the GI Preakness S. Oct. 3 and she delivered with a gritty defeat of GI Kentucky Derby hero and eventual Horse of the Year Authentic (Into Mischief). Cont. p5

'TDN Rising Star' Caddo River Coady IN TDN EUROPE TODAY by Chris McGrath MARCIALIS ARRESTED; FACING CRIMINAL CHARGES They used to say that when you think you have two Epsom French-based trainer Andrea Marcialis has been indicted on colts in your stable, you don't have any. The axiom has long counts of gang fraud, equine doping and forgery. since been decommissioned, however, by the skills of Aidan Click or tap here to go straight to TDN Europe. O'Brien and his patrons, albeit with the inane complicity of a commercial market that is disastrously diluting competition. And it looks as though it no longer transfers to the GI Kentucky Derby, either. Having (eventually) landed running with champion Essential Quality (Tapit), and with Caddo River (Hard Spun) and Mandaloun (Into Mischief) testing their own credentials over the next eight days, Brad Cox is hoping to win three trials across four weekends. As such, the middle leg of this sequence has the potential to weigh quite significantly in the shifting balance of power at the top of the North American training profession. Because the man who continues to set the standards, for Cox and everyone else, awaits Caddo River in the GII Rebel S. with a staggering record of seven winners, three seconds and a third from 13 starters since he first shipped here in 2010. And a week after producing an Authentic (Into Mischief) imitation, as it were, here comes Bob Baffert with a doppelganger for Nadal (Blame).

Cont. from p1 In fact, the evolution of Life Is Good (Into Mischief) and Concert Tour (Street Sense) seems so closely aligned to their predecessors in the barn--November maiden at Del Mar/ GIII Sham/GII San Felipe for one; January maiden at Santa Anita/GII San Vicente/GII Rebel for the other--that we have to remind ourselves that these are different individuals, setting their trainer fresh challenges. That said, when Baffert sticks to a formula it's because he has made it work. Certainly he has changed the way trainers think about the Triple Crown trail, having proved that his adolescent racehorses don't need the kind of grounding once considered essential. No doubt that reflects the experience his horses instead derive from the aggressive, speed-oriented works he imported from Quarter Horse training, often giving his better horses the chance to hone their velocity and confidence with a "punchbag." That's exactly what Baffert arranged for Concert Tour the other morning--i.e. an inferior workmate released as a target to run down--and the response was electric. Baffert has a genius for the fast horse that keeps going: precisely the challenge awaiting Cox with Caddo River on Saturday. The signs are promising, so fluidly has this guy maintained his cruising speed in different scenarios for his last two starts; and remember how his sire held out for second to Street Sense in the Derby, nearly six lengths clear of the third (horse called Curlin) after blazing away early. Street Sense and Hard Spun, of course, have long since shared the same stallion barn, so it'll be fun for the Jonabell team to see them carry on their rivalry by proxy here. Effortless speed is also the trademark of Life Is Good, just as it was with Authentic. And while the Horse of the Year has definitively confirmed their sire's eligibility as a Classic influence, in tandem with the upgrading of his mares, Life Is Good has also shown something of the mental immaturity we saw this time last year. Authentic, crucially, was indulged with a September Derby but this time round the race will, we trust, be run at its customary date. Life Is Good was conspicuously granted a clear run last week and, while he took freakish advantage, we'll have to see whether he will know how to respond when stretching out against 19 hostile rivals.

Suffice to say that a) Thoroughbreds never cease schooling us in adversity; and b) whatever the rights and wrongs of Maximum Security's Derby, and indeed of his trainer at the time, we can all be grateful to the Wests for the priorities driving their program. Because the two races they most covet are the Derby and the Travers, and their investment in the type of Thoroughbred best adapted to those historic measures of the two-turn sophomore will only serve the breed well. That's why it's always so edifying to review the purchases made by Glass at the September Sale. You won't see him joining the witless stampede for rookie sires whose averages will almost invariably never be so high again. Last year, he bought 15 colts catalogued from 29 to 2186, for between $65,000 and $360,000: two apiece by Blame, Distorted Humor, Flatter, Street Ben Glass with Gary West | Sid Fernando photo Sense and Union Rags; plus one by Candy Ride (Arg), Empire Maker, Ghostzapper, Quality Road and Uncle Mo. Life Is Good, who was sold as a yearling, and the homebred Concert Tour is out of a Tapit mare, giving the Gainesway Concert Tour are both graduates of a program that notoriously phenomenon yet another foothold in this year's Derby quest. has unfinished business with the GI Kentucky Derby. In returning So, again like Nadal, he looks bred to relish this second turn to Oaklawn, Gary and Mary West will remember the day their after showing his raw class sprinting. Certainly the Wests will be whole Turf adventure hit a different key, 28 years ago, with the hoping to efface that nose defeat for their reappearing 108-1 rock-your-world success of Rockamundo (Key to the Mint) champion Game Winner (Candy Ride {Arg}) in this race two in the Arkansas Derby. That horse was saddled by Ben Glass, years ago. Game Winner subsequently passed the post sixth in who was fortunately persuaded to stay on as racing manager the Derby, after a messy trip. That kind of thing rather goes with when deciding to quit training a couple of years later. When this the territory, you would say, and let's hope nobody team started out, they were claiming horses for $2,500 at places congratulated his owners on his promotion to fifth. like Grand Island, Nebraska; and, in the convincing testimony of Glass, their experiences on a long road since have cultivated in his patrons' exemplary standards of stoicism and attention to welfare. He remembers when they went to the barns at 5 a.m. to see Buddha (Unbridled's Song) on the eve of the 2002 Derby. This was after the Wests had begun to raise the stakes: Glass had picked him out as a $250,000 yearling, and he had beaten Medaglia d'Oro in the GI Wood Memorial. And here was the second favorite for the Derby emerging from his stall, the morning before the race, holding off his left fore. An immediate scratch. Glass couldn't believe how Gary West took it on the chin. He just shrugged and said: "Well, I'm going back to bed." So the Wests and Glass had seen it all by the time they took Maximum Security (New Year's Day) to Churchill a couple of years ago. Or so they thought. No need, here, to reprise everything that happened then, and subsequently. 'TDN Rising Star' Concert Tour upon arrival at Oaklawn this week Coady

Unfortunately Game Winner only managed one more start, though kept in training at four; but even that was one more than Buddha, after he was found to be lame that Friday morning. To that extent, we must hope that Concert Tour ceases to impersonate Nadal after the Arkansas Derby. Because you can safely say that this would be a Rebel winner with a cause.

Swiss Skydiver | Ryan Thompson Swiss Skydiver completed 2020 with a disappointing and surprising seventh behind two-time champion Monomoy Girl (Tapizar) in the GI Breeders' Cup Distaff at Keeneland Nov. 7, but had already done more than enough to secure the Eclipse for top 3-year-old filly. She has been working well leading up to this seasonal bow, most recently breezing a best-of-39 five panels in :58 flat at Gulfstream Mar. 6. AObviously, the Beholder is a great race and I think Swiss Skydiver is capable of running a flat mile," McPeek said. "She's really sharp now, so that's good, and the timing works out well." Explaining a coast-to-coast trip from Florida to kick off her 2021 campaign, he added, AThere were limited options where we are. There really wasn't an older filly and mare stake in Florida and I've got my other filly, Envoutante, at Oaklawn [for Saturday's GII Azeri S.). I didn't want to run against each other." Swiss Skydiver's biggest competition is likely to come from MGSW Harvest Moon (Uncle Mo). Graduating at second asking when switched to the dirt in July, she scored a decisive optional claimer victory next out at Del Mar three weeks later and captured the GIII Torrey Pines S. there in August. Winning the GII Zenyatta S. at Santa Anita Sept. 27, the bay checked in fourth last out in the Distaff. Cont. p6 MARCH SPECIAL $2,500 LFSN - $1,250 NO-GUARANTEE

SACKATOGA STABLE PARTNER ROGER IS TRIPLE TAP THE NEXT HEIR TO THE SOFER PASSES AWAY by Bill Finley THRONE? by Christie DeBernardis Roger Sofer, a partner in the Sackatoga Stable syndicate that owned GI Belmont S. winner Tiz the Law (Constitution), passed away Wednesday after a bout with leukemia. He was 71. Sofer, a Houston resident, received the diagnosis that he had leukemia in March 0f 2020, right about the time that Tiz the Law was emerging as one of the leading contenders for the GI Kentucky Derby. He began treatment immediately, undergoing chemotherapy seven days a week. He was let out of the hospital just in time to watch Tiz the Law win the GI Florida Derby, getting home about an hour before the race. With Tiz the Law continuing to flourish, Safer had found something to take his mind off of his fight against leukemia. "Tiz has been great because he gives me something else to think about," Sofer told the TDN in September. "The Houston press has been really good to me. My story has been in the papers here quite a bit. They got all the clippings up in the unit at the hospital, so everybody there knows my story and Triple Tap as a 2-year-old | Christie DeBernardis everybody there is rooting for Tiz."

Triple Tap drew the outside post in this five-horse affair with Prat in the irons.

Early on Friday morning, Murphy announced via two tweets that he had been made aware of an "administrative error" which prevented his immediate comeback from a suspension after he tested positive for metabolites of cocaine when riding at Chantilly in July 2020. He said, "At 18.50 yesterday I was personally informed by the BHA due to an administrative error I will not be able to partner my rides at Lingfield today and Chelmsford on Saturday. I'm currently looking into this situation with the BHA and I plan to be back on the racetrack as soon as I possibly can.
