CHARLATAN LIKELY TO SAUDI CUP NEXT GUILLOT WITH by Bill Finley RACIST NAME WINS, After Charlatan (Speightstown) worked a half-mile Saturday in :49.80 at Santa Anita, trainer reported that his SPARKS OUTRAGE Grade I winner will likely make his next start in the Feb. 20 Saudi Cup. Charlatan is coming off a dominant win against a quality field in the Dec. 26 GI Runhappy Malibu S., his first after being sidelined following the GI May 2. Charlatan has been invited to the GI Pegasus World Cup on Jan. 23 at Gulfstream, but will likely pass that race. Should Charlatan pass the Pegasus, the role of favorite will go to Knicks Go (Paynter), who will be ridden by Joel Rosario. AHe breezed today and it a very, very nice work,@ Baffert said of Charlatan. AWe are leaning toward the Saudi Cup. I don=t want to bring him back too quick. He came out of the Malibu really well. He always showed that he was a brilliant horse.@ Cont. p6

Guillot Horse Wins, Sparks Outrage cont. from p1

After the race Friday, he Tweeted that he had named the horse after a fond childhood memory of drinking the beverage. AWhen I went home for Xmas my 88 year Mother got a kick out of me naming a horse after my favorite drink when I was little boy she always reminded me of it for years! I=ll send her a pic.@ (Grammar and usage copied as is from Tweet.) Reached by telephone, Guillot said that he would not comment on the issue. AI am not commenting on this stupid media-frenzied stupid (expletive) thing,@ he told the TDN. AIs that what you called me about?@ When the TDN said that it was indeed what we had called about, he replied, AI=ve gotten 10 calls and that=s what=s wrong with this country. I=m the furthest thing from racist. But if that=s what everybody wants to believe, go right ahead.@ The TDN subsequently asked Guillot if rumors that he had planned to retire before running this horse were true, and he confirmed that he had retired. AThat was the last horse I ever ran,@ he said. AThis has been something that=s been in the making for a while now.@ At around noon on Saturday, he posted a video on Twitter which he said depicted his first day of retirement, spent Adriving west@ and drinking Starbucks. The Racing Association was quick to ban Guillot from receiving stalls or entering at their tracks. ARacism is completely unacceptable in all forms,@ read a statement from NYRA President and CEO David O=Rourke. ANYRA rejects Eric Guillot=s toxic words and divisive behavior in the strongest terms. At this time, he will no longer be permitted to enter horses at any NYRA track nor will he be allocated stalls on NYRA grounds. In addition, we will review what further steps may be available to us. Our racing community is diverse, and we stand for inclusion.@ As of Friday, Guillot had four stalls at Belmont. TDN HEADLINE NEWS • PAGE 4 OF 14 • THETDN.COM SUNDAY • JANUARY 10, 2021

Aidan Butler, the Chief Operating Officer at the Stronach Group=s 1/ST Racing, said that Guillot would no longer be welcome at their tracks, either. A1/ST RACING stands firmly against the inexcusable actions of trainer Eric Guillot,@ said Butler in a statement emailed to the media. AThere is no place in the sport of racing for racism in any form. Our company will not tolerate the use of hateful and divisive language or behavior. 1/ST RACING agrees fully with the New York Racing Association=s move to ban Mr. Guillot from racing and will take the same action. Mr. Guillot is no longer welcomed at any 1/ST RACING track.@ Stronach tracks include Santa Anita, Golden Gate, Gulfstream, Laurel and Pimlico. The issued a statement Saturday morning that said that the naming of the horse violated the harassment policy in the American Stud Book. AThe Jockey Club was notified yesterday that the name Grape Soda, which was approved for a 2018 gelding, was potentially offensive. Upon review we have confirmed that the name is ineligible under Rule 6.F.11. of the Principal Rules and Requirements of The American Stud Book, and we have begun the name change process in consultation with the current owner, which must be completed as soon as possible.@ Rule 6.F.11 prohibits using, ANames that appear to be designed to harass, humiliate, or disparage a specific individual, group of individuals, or entity.@ The horse was claimed in his start Friday by owner Lawrence Roman and trainer Rob Atras. Reached by telephone Saturday morning, Roman said he was very upset to learn what the horse=s name meant.

TDN HEADLINE NEWS • PAGE 5 OF 14 • THETDN.COM SUNDAY • JANUARY 10, 2021

AI will absolutely change the horse=s name,@ said Roman. AI had no idea this was a slur. I don=t want a name like that. I am very conscious of things like that. I will be calling my trainer immediately and doing whatever we can do to get his name changed. It=s despicable that someone would name a horse for those reasons. You don=t do that. We have enough problems as it is in the world. I promise you that that horse will not race again under that name.@ Roman later reported that he planned to rename the gelding ARespect For All,@ and that he would donate 10% of the horse=s earnings to New York racing backstretch workers. AI want to do this so something good comes out of something bad,@ said Roman. By 1 p.m., The Jockey Club had announced that they had approved the new name. Before being claimed, the gelding was owned by Cypress Creek Equine. Cypress Creek=s Kevin Moody issued a statement through a spokesperson. ACypress Creek Equine would like to denounce the actions of their former trainer Eric Guillot,@ the statement said. AMr. Guillot will no longer train for or represent Cypress Creek Equine due to his action on social media. Cypress Creek apologizes for any ill feelings and does not condone this type of behavior.@ The spokesperson said that the horse had originally been named Kirkstetter, and a Jockey Club spokesman confirmed that the horse=s name had been changed Dec. 29, 2020. Ken Rudulph told the TDN that he did not wish to comment directly on the story, but did engage in conversations on Twitter with some of his followers. AThe winner in race #1 from Aqueduct is the perfect example of my issue with ,@ he Tweeted Friday after the race had been run. AThe winning trainer is a disgusting and racist man. But, if you want to make money in this game you have to be able to ignore that stuff. I can=t do it. But y=all carry on with your $11.@ Grape Soda paid $11.20 to win. In addition to many messages of support, Rudulph got some pushback on Twitter, including one person who wrote, AIt was a horse. Let it go.@ Rudulph reacted Saturday. AY=all sent lots of angry tweets and DM=s my way. Received text messages from friends and colleagues. Many viewers attacked and questioned my perspective. I told you that horse racing has a TON of racists hiding in plain sight. Now..what are you gonna do about it? Let=s go.@

Rudulph=s network, TVG, put out a statement as well: ATVG commends NYRA for taking swift action on the matter involving Eric Guillot. There is simply no place in society for racism and we condemn his behavior, a deliberate attempt to slur one of our employees, in the strongest terms. Our network will no longer air races in which he has an entry. We also commend the action by new owner Larry Roman to change the horse=s name. We will continue to work toward making racing more inclusive and to attracting a new generation of fans to the sport.@ Joe Appelbaum, the head of New York Thoroughbred Horsemen=s Association, said, ARacism, whether overt implicit, has no place in our community. NYTHA is working with The Jockey Club and the new owner and we are hopeful that a name change will be coming shortly. What is wrong with people? It would be so much easier to just be nice to everybody.@ Additional reporting by Sue Finley

Hot Rod Charlie | Horsephotos

Already a winner of the GI with 2016 hero (Uncle Mo) and I=ll Have Another (Flower Alley) in 2012, trainer Doug O=Neill is looking forward to the New Year with Hot Rod Charlie (), Wipe the Slate (Nyquist) and Team Merchants (Nyquist) among his well-regarded sophomores. Hot Rod Charlie worked five furlongs at Santa Anita Saturday in a bullet :59.40, fastest of 64 drills at the distance. A narrow winner in his fourth career start at Santa Anita in October, Hot Rod Charlie closed to finish second--at whopping odds of 94-1-- behind likely 2020 2-year-old male Essential Quality (Tapit) in the GI Breeders= Cup Juvenile Nov. 6. AHot Rod Charlie is doing great and we=re pointing him to the [GIII] Bob Lewis S.,@ said O=Neill, referring to the Robert B. Lewis S. at a mile and a sixteenth Jan. 30. The Lewis, first run in 1935 as the Santa Catalina S., offers 10 Kentucky Derby qualifying points to the winner, four to the runner-up, two to the third-place finisher and one to the fourth. A son of O=Neill=s former pupil Nyquist, Wipe the Slate also worked Saturday, covering five furlongs in 1:01.20. Wearing blinkers for the first time, Wipe the Slate scored an impressive maiden win Dec. 26 at Santa Anita after finishing second in his debut to undefeated Sham S. winner and >TDN Rising Star= Life Is Good (Into Mischief) at Del Mar Nov. 22. AWipe the Slate is doing super, but I=m not sure where he=s going to blend in after that win,@ O=Neill said. AIt=s been two weeks, so we really haven=t pointed him to the next spot.

FIRST FOAL FOR MAXIMUS MISCHIEF A FLORIDA-BRED COLT

Maximus Mischief | Sarah Andrew Maximus Mischief (Into Mischief--Reina Maria, by Songandaprayer), one of three sons of 2020's leading sire on the Spendthrift Farm roster, was represented by his first foal when a colt was born early Saturday, Jan. 9. The bay colt is a Florida- bred out of Rosetta=s Gift (Two Step Salsa) and is also the first foal for the mare. AThis colt is very nice with a lot of size for a first foal,@ said Angela Ingenito, who bred both the foal and his dam. AThe mare is a maiden and rather plain, but the foal looks like [Maximus Mischief] who has certainly moved up the mare. I=m very excited. I see a lot of Into Mischief. He has a nice hip, a lot of bone, a good front end, and good head and neck. It=s a nice representation of the sire.@ Maximus Mischief was undefeated in three starts at two, culminating in a front-running score in the GII Remsen S. After one start at three--a third-place finish in the GII Fasig-Tipton Holy Bull S.--he was retired due to a soft tissue injury and entered stud at Spendthrift last year.

barns, and Darley’s pair of champions Too Darn Hot (GB) VALUE SIRES PART II: ( {Ire}) and Blue Point (Ire) (Shamardal) remain at the head of the pack on fees. Too Darn Hot is trimmed to £45,000 FIRST FOALS from £50,000 at Dalham Hall, and he covered 172 mares in his debut season including Light (Ire) (Frankel {GB}), the €1.3-million top lot at last year’s Arqana December sale; (GB)’s dam Galicuix (GB) (Galileo {Ire}); (Ire)’s dam Khawlah (Ire) ( {Ire}); Time Test (GB)’s dam Passage Of Time (GB) (Dansili {GB}); dual Group 1 and Classic winner (Ire) ( {Ire}) and Group 1 winner (GB) ( {Ire}). On paper, Too Darn Hot looks about as foolproof a sire prospect as they come, with little to fault on race record or pedigree. Unbeaten in four starts at two culminating in a G1 Dewhurst S. win that was rated even higher than his new barnmate (Ire)’s, Too Darn Hot was named European champion 2-year-old. His 3-year-old campaign admittedly didn’t begin exactly as hoped–after a setback kept him from the G1 2000 Guineas he was beaten in Blue Point at Kildangan Stud | Marc Ruhl the G1 Irish 2000 Guineas (second) and the G1 St James’s Palace S. (third), but he returned to the winner’s enclosure in a big way when dropping back to seven furlongs to win the G1 Prix Jean By Kelsey Riley Prat by three lengths in an effort rated equal to his Dewhurst We kicked off our annual Value Sires series earlier this week win on Racing Post ratings (125). Cont p2 with a look at the new class of sires entering stud in 2021, and today we move on to the group with their first foals set to hit the ground in the coming months. While it is not always a straightforward task to pinpoint value in unproven sires, the ripple effects of the global pandemic make the exercise a little more interesting this year. While it has become the norm for some young sires to get fee cuts in their second and third years to help mitigate the damages of a market that often judges them before their first progeny has even set foot on a racecourse, almost every member of this sire crop has had its fee trimmed this year. That trend is, of course, set against the backdrop of a bloodstock sales market that was down somewhere in the neighbourhood of 20%. While the sales were remarkably resilient in the face of such major economic uncertainty, it cannot be overlooked that a good many breeders Too Darn Hot | Darley will have suffered in 2020 and fee cuts nearly across the board are likely necessary to help keep the industry afloat.

These figures are not final until the Trainer Eric Guillot will be denied the opportunity to run his horses at supplement is published in February. several American tracks after a series of tweets and comments about While their fees may be down, none of these sires’ credentials a horse previously named Grape Soda, a racist stereotype.
