BULLARDS ALLEY, RACING'S CHOICE ON BREAKTHROUGH RESEARCH: ACTION OR WORDS? BUCCHERO GIVE GLYSHAW News Analysis, by T.D. Thornton A Lexington, Kentucky-based veterinarian has assembled a BC BREAKTHROUGH scientific team that has proven in principle it can radically alter racing's drug-testing landscape while simultaneously providing a reasonably priced diagnostic tool to vastly improve overall horse health. The time frame in which the team has accomplished this work has been remarkably short, the methods by which they have secured funding to date have been ingenious, and the long-term implications for this research extend far beyond the horse world and into the realm of human medicine.

IN TDN EUROPE TODAY CRACKSMAN THE PRODIGAL SON? Cracksman will attempt to become Frankel’s first European Group 1 winner by emulating his sire with victory in the G1 Qipco Champion S. on Saturday. Tim Glyshaw | Coady Click or tap here to go straight to TDN Europe. by Michael Adolphson Trainer Tim Glyshaw has had a bittersweet 2017, but the sweet is absolutely saccharine right now and the 48-year-old proud Indiana University alum is heading to the Breeders= Cup with his first two starters. While GI Breeders= Cup Turf Sprint-bound Bucchero (Kantharos) was already slated to head to Del Mar for the World Championships, it was not until the morning of Oct. 19 that a definitive decision had been made on barn star and Woodbine romper Bullards Alley (Flower Alley). Each horse exits a big victory against their respective divisions within eight days of one another. Ironhorse Racing Stable=s Indiana-bred Bucchero was a 26-1 handy 1 3/4-length winner of the GII Woodford S. Oct. 7 at Keeneland, while Bullards Alley gave Glyshaw his biggest career victory Oct. 15, taking the GI Pattison Canadian International by 10 3/4 lengths at 42-1 for owners Wayne Spalding and Faron McCubbins. After debating for a few days following such a huge performance, Glyshaw was pleased to move forward to the GI Breeders= Cup Turf with the latter.

AHe=s in the best form of his career right now and it was either run in the Breeders= Cup or the Red Smith at Aqueduct,@ Glyshaw said. AYou may never get an opportunity like this again and I=m not completely certain he can=t run that same race back. I know the numbers guys may disagree, but this horse runs hard every time and if he runs anywhere close to that, he will be competitive. If his best effort puts him third, fifth or seventh, I=ll be happy, as long as it=s his best. AI know the history on him says he=s best on softer turf courses, but I believe he could have won if he was not impeded badly in the (GIII) American St. Leger (at Arlington) on firm ground,@ he continued. AHe just needs a softer pace earlier, so he can be within range. On firm turf, sometimes they run off and he is too far behind, which isn=t the way he naturally runs. He=s had plenty of excuses and some bad luck, but that=s turf racing. It all worked out at Woodbine and he ran big. Eurico (Rosa Da Silva) rode a beautiful race and kept him to task, as he can get to waiting on horses, which is why he won by as far as he did. He came out great and he=s definitely a better horse this year than last year.@ Bullards Alley, an $11,000 bargain from the 2014 Eugene Melnyk dispersal at Fasig-Tipton, is back at Churchill Downs. Bucchero, on the other hand, is with Glyshaw=s Indiana Grand string and worked four furlongs in :52.80 Friday. AIt=ll be a nice slow work by design for him,@ Glyshaw said. AWe know he=s fast, so he doesn=t have to show it in the morning. He really likes it up in Indiana and that=s where his exercise rider is, so I don=t want to change anything with him. AHe would have been a turf sprinter his whole career if he didn=t have the AIN@ next to his name,@ Glyshaw continued. AHe has taken advantage of the Indiana-bred program and done really well. He=s won four stakes on the dirt against them, but he is a better horse on the grass and showed that. I know there are better horses in the country, but if you=re looking at Del Mar and the way he can sit behind the speed and make a big run, I=ll take my chances with my horse. He has never had a physical issue in his life and beat some very good horses.@ A pair of big chances in the Breeders= Cup is a welcome panacea for the former school teacher and assistant to Bob Holthus and Cole Norman. He and wife/assistant Natalie, daughter of legendary Louisiana jockey Ron Ardoin (5,226 wins), weathered a tough winter at the Fair Grounds [due to the equine herpesvirus outbreak] in which they only won three races from 77 tries, but finished second 12 times. A trip back west could also heal the woulds of 2013, when an in-form Taptowne (Tapit) was a vet scratch with a bruised hoof the morning of the 2013 Breeders= Cup Dirt Mile. AThis definitely makes up for the winter we had and the tough year so far,@ he said.

AIt=s great to have these two barn favorites going to the Nash, now 61, grew up at Belmont Park, where his father, Breeders= Cup,@ Glyshaw concluded.

Things have turned generations, including a great-grandfather who bred the first around and it=s really a great feeling.@ winner of harness racing's Hambletonian S. In addition to his decades of private-practice experience with Thoroughbreds on major racing circuits, Nash has worked as a consultant or advisor to a number of global pharmaceutical firms, and in the 2000s he RACING'S CHOICE ON BREAKTHROUGH RESEARCH cont. served as executive director of the industry-funded Equine Drug Research Institute. What really stuck with me about our nearly two-hour EBP conversation that day was Nash's enthusiasm and passion for a counter plan he was trying to orchestrate in which testing for illicit drugs was just a small part of a grand vision he had for a tool that could also quickly and accurately screen for diseases and pinpoint infectious outbreaks before they raged into epidemics. This was during the time when cobalt abuse was first being documented on a widespread basis, and regulators worldwide were scrambling for some sort of passport-like device to curtail it. There is nothing like a crisis to fuel awareness in paradigm- shifting projects, and Nash said he was fine with letting racing's performance-enhancing drug woes be the driving force behind his efforts-so long as the end result was that people come PathTracker prototype | Fu Sun University of around to the idea of utilizing his diagnostic tool to further Illinois Department of Bioengineering photo promote whole-horse wellness. "We need to protect the health and the welfare of the horse," The unanswered question for the Thoroughbred industry is Nash emphasized in 2015. "That includes preventing it from "Will any institutional entity within the sport step up to partner getting sick due to an infectious disease and preventing it from with and help to pay for what needs to be done to bring this being tampered with by any illicit medication. I see no project closer to reality?" distinction between the two. None." Nearly three years ago, in January 2015, I first interviewed Dr. Nash detailed the plans for his brainstorm on the condition David Nash, thinking he'd be a good source to flesh out a story I that I omit specifics from that 2015 article. He was fearful that was working on about the development known as the equine full disclosure would jeopardize potential funding and the biological passport (EBP) and its potential use as an anti-doping cooperation of institutional partners outside the horse industry, TDN HEADLINE NEWS • PAGE 5 OF 10 • THETDN.COM SATURDAY • OCTOBER 21, 2017 and I honored his request. Nash was adamant that the outside of the racing world Nash has been working with over the technology already existed to turn his concept into reality, but past three years to bring his idea, now dubbed PathTracker, to was equally firm in his belief that in terms of both finances and the working demo stage. outside scientific alliances, this was not a project the racing PathTracker is a battery-operated device that uses a industry could pull off on its own. disposable, one-time-use computer chip on a credit-card sized "I'm not saying that there aren't people out there" working piece of plastic to identify bacteria and viruses in fluid samples toward the development of breakthrough drug- and swabbed from horses. The results are available in 25 minutes, disease-testing mechanisms, Nash said at the time. "I'm saying and are displayed on a regular smart phone that interfaces with that there is insufficient funding to do the work. [And] we have a portable testing unit that can be used just about anywhere. to work with people we normally don't, because it is in our best Right now PathTracker is about two years away from being interest to do so." commercially available. Although it currently costs about $500 I hung up the phone with Nash and wrote the article (read it per device to make prototypes, the team believes the cost of here). Although I believed his idea had merit, I chalked it up as production will come down to the point where the devices can another concept that sounded brilliant in practice but would be given away to veterinarians and the disposable testing cards probably die a slow death due to lack of funding. I knew Nash will be the profitable part of the endeavor. Scientists and would need close to $1 million just to prove his point, and that veterinarians will eventually be allowed to come up with their type of money was hard to come by via traditional grants within own customized screening panels that can be put on chips to the equine veterinary research sphere. test for whatever they want-including illicit drugs. So you can imagine my surprise when an email from Nash PathTracker's functionality is more fully explained in a TDN landed in my inbox earlier this month. It contained a article published Oct. 12 (read it here). But for the moment, let's soon-to-be-published, proof-of-concept scientific paper about put that aside and focus on the clever way Nash's team went the very device we had discussed in 2015 and an invitation to about obtaining the initial funding for this research. interview Nash and the molecular biologist and electrical Nash was taking a bottom-up approach with the racing engineer who were among the 16 scientific collaborators from industry when he realized that in order to bring his whole-health TDN HEADLINE NEWS • PAGE 6 OF 10 • THETDN.COM SATURDAY • OCTOBER 21, 2017 diagnostic tool to life within the sport he would need to focus team has accomplished its preliminary PathTracker research. first on testing for illicit drugs, because that's where the sense of Biological passports have been adopted in human sports like alarm is within horse racing right now. cycling and track and field, but are not much closer to being Similarly--and ingeniously--he mapped out a top-down implemented in horse racing, and federal legislation first strategy to coax $999,950 from the National Science Foundation introduced in 2015 and re-filed this year to establish a uniform (NSF), which is a deep-pocketed independent federal agency medication program governed by USADA is also a long way from that promotes the overall progress of science but rarely awards becoming reality. grants that are exclusive to animal research. Right now the PathTracker team considers itself ahead of its In its appeal for funding, Nash's team widened the parameters own development schedule with one year of funding remaining of what PathTracker could do by emphasizing how the device on the NSF grant. Dr. Brian Cunningham, the electrical engineer could be used as a diagnostic tool on people.

And Nash, in bridging the vast spectrum between the disparate worlds of human medicine and catching racing's drug cheats, will have advanced his goal of bettering overall equine health, because he envisions PathTracker becoming a standard, everyday-use diagnostic tool carried by most Thoroughbred veterinarians. Lovely Bernadette (Wildburn) delivers in Using 2015 as a benchmark, it's worth noting that two other Keeneland’s GIII Pin Oak Valley View S. anti-doping initiatives undertaken that year have made only incremental progress during the same time frame that Nash's

Though there is no betting on the race, there is a morning line and the 2-1 favorite is another European shipper, Hammersly Lake (Kapgarde {Fr}). Katnap is 15-1. AI suppose I am guessing a bit when it comes to this race,@ he said. ASome of the horses in there that are now with American trainers were previously training over here, so I have a little guide as to what they were like here before they went over. Katnap is not good enough to win a Group 1 over here and he=ll probably need to improve a little bit in this race to win.

Grand National Cont. With a $240,000 first-place prize on the line, the Grand National has attracted considerable interest in England and Ireland, and three of the eight likely starters have made the trip in hopes of cashing a check in American dollars. Of the trio, Hammersly Lake probably stands the best chance of turning back a formidable American contingent. Bought specifically for a return trip to the Grand National, the French-bred 9-year-old has been running well in steeplechase handicaps over the summer and scored at Perth in September. While the purse money is certainly a powerful incentive, Oxfordshire-based Longsdon said on his website that the allure of Far Hills on the third Saturday in October heavily influenced the decision. "We are all excited to be going back, as the atmosphere was unlike anywhere else, it is similar to a combination of an English point-to-point and Royal Ascot with massive picnics and crowds and everyone enjoying their day out," he said. Mighty Acorn Stables' Casino Markets (Ire) (Fruits of Love) has been sampling America, specifically New York, with mixed results. Trained in Wiltshire by Emma Lavelle, Casino Markets finished a well-beaten eighth in the New York Turf Writers Cup Hurdle H. at Saratoga before a much-improved fourth in Belmont Park's Lonesome Glory Hurdle H. Sept. 21. Representing Ireland is Katnap (Fr) (Sleeping Car {Fr}), trained by former Irish champion jockey Joseph O'Brien, who operates a stable with both flat and jumps competitors. At Aintree in April, Katnap finished second in the Randox Health Topham Handicap Steeplechase. A member of the American contingent, Buttonwood Farm's All the Way Jose (Senor Swinger) enters the 2 5/8-mile Grand National from a sharp victory in the Lonesome Glory for his trainer and breeder, Hall of Fame member Jonathan Sheppard.
