How a Pointless Race Can Have the Best of Purposes SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 8, 2020 INDEPENDENCE HALL STEPS UP IN DAVIS HOW A POINTLESS RACE by Joe Bianca Undefeated and impressive in all three of his career starts thus CAN HAVE THE BEST OF far, Independence Hall (Constitution) has earned respect as one PURPOSES of the top early choices for the GI Kentucky Derby. Saturday, fans will get a much clearer picture of whether that stature is justified, as the Mike Trombetta trainee heads south to take on a quality field in the GIII Sam F. Davis S. at Tampa Bay Downs. Sent off as a 7-5 favorite debuting in a seven-furlong event on the GI Pennsylvania Derby undercard at Parx, the dark bay broke slowly, but recovered quickly and ran away to an easy 4 3/4-length score. Stepped up into stakes company in the GIII Nashua S. Nov. 3 at Aqueduct, the $100,000 Keeneland September grad produced arguably the most impressive performance of any 2-year-old in 2019 when blowing the doors off his competition with a 12 1/4-length romp. Cont. p5 Peter Eurton | Horsephotos IN TDN EUROPE TODAY by Chris McGrath BARBOTTIERE TRIUMPHANT WITH GROUP 1 RECRUITS Peter Eurton knows. He has been training since 1989, after all: Haras de la Barbottiere debuts Group 1 winners Donjuan the year of Sunday Silence and Easy Goer. One, on the West Triumphant and Robin of Navan on its dual purpose roster this Coast, began his sophomore campaign in an allowance race at year. Click or tap here to go straight to TDN Europe. Santa Anita over 6 1/2 furlongs, before moving up in distance for the San Felipe 17 days later. The other started out in the Swale over seven furlongs at Gulfstream--the fourth running of a race that had already been won by Chief's Crown and Seeking The Gold--before going up a furlong for the Gotham, and again for the Wood. Standard procedure, in those days. You didn't ask a top-class two-turn prospect to drain the tank in his first run back. By starting in a sprint, you could add a layer of fitness without damaging the base. Just as importantly, you would be sharpening the horse mentally. It had worked for breed-shaping names throughout Eurton's boyhood. Northern Dancer warmed up for the Flamingo with a six-furlong allowance at Hialeah. Buckpasser was beaten in a seven-furlong allowance seven days before winning the Everglades, following up in the Flamingo 11 days later. After missing the Triple Crown series with his quarter crack, he renewed the cycle in a six-furlong allowance. He wound up winning the Jockey Club Gold Cup, then still run over two miles, and after a lay-off again resumed in a sprint, in the seven- furlong Malibu.

Setting up his own Classic campaign, Damascus had been another to scale the distance ladder one rung at a time: six-furlong allowance, Bay Shore, Gotham, Wood, Derby. Same for all three Triple Crown winners of the 1970s. Secretariat kicked off in the Bay Shore; Seattle Slew broke the track record in a seven-furlong Hialeah allowance; and Affirmed took in a similar race over 6 1/2 furlongs 10 days before the San Felipe. Horatio Luro, Eddie Neloy and Frank Whiteley, Jr. knew. So did Lucien Laurin, Billy Turner and Laz Barrera; Charlie Whittingham and Shug McGaughey. And how about John Nerud, with Gallant Man? He launched his campaign with a 1:09.4 track record at Tropical Park; followed up with the Hibiscus at Hialeah; and then bumped into a horse called Bold Ruler in the Bahamas. And here was a horse who stayed well enough to win the Belmont by eight lengths, never mind the marathon Jockey Club Gold Cup. All this was the equivalent of waking up a horse with a splash of cold water. Come on, you, there's a working day ahead. But nowadays that very seldom seems to happen, for two reasons. One is that these sprints carry zero qualifying points for the Derby; and the other is the growing vogue for a lighter program into the first Saturday in May. As a result, with typically only a couple of preps to fit in, there's no longer a splash of water. Instead you are hauled downstairs by the ankles. Eurton, of course, doesn't really have to worry about banking Derby points for Storm the Court (Court Vision), thanks to his shock success in the GI Breeders' Cup Juvenile. That enables him to do simply what he considers right for his horse. But doesn't the very use of that phrase invite us all to take a step back, as Storm the Court resurfaces in the GII San Vicente S. Sunday, and ask why anything else should ever enter the equation? It's all very well arguing that pure sprinters shouldn't clutter up the Derby field. True, nobody wants a weakening horse in his path entering the Churchill stretch. But even if you could pick up a few points in a GIII Swale or San Vicente, you would probably still have to place in a longer trial to guarantee a starting slot. Cont. p4 TDN HEADLINE NEWS • PAGE 4 OF 14 • THETDN.COM SATURDAY • FEBRUARY 8, 2020 This Side Up cont. As it is, look what has happened to Derby times since we started sieving out sprinters. In recent years, we could have replaced the stopwatch with a sundial. (Never mind that a faster Derby pace favors the horse who can rate; and that the horse who can rate offers a more intelligent and durable model, when it comes to the breeding shed.) At the same time, moreover, many Classic winners today struggle to maintain their form; several have failed to win another race of any kind. Triple Crown protagonists often stagger out of the series as sitting ducks for the late bloomers who arrive fresh for the GI Travers S. Code Of Honor (Noble Mission {GB}) was the first Travers winner in four years to have run in a Triple Crown race, and he had sat out the second and third legs. Storm the Court | Horsephotos Perhaps the breed really has become less robust. But perhaps there is also a chicken-and-egg element. Maybe these sophomores would last longer if given a deeper grounding, not just as juveniles (though that, too), but also around this time of year. It is axiomatic, after all, that a horse is liable to run rank when fresh; and the best way to avoid that is to slipstream some specialist sprinters. Go too far, when short of focus and fitness, and you run the risk of bringing home a duller and more brittle animal. Keep short, and you can put an edge on him both physically and mentally. Of course, we're still always dealing with flesh and blood. There are no rules about this kind of thing. Nyquist (Uncle Mo), the last Kentucky Derby winner to start his campaign in a sprint, didn't exactly manage a throwback second half of the year. But equally you can't argue with the efficacy of his San Vincente as a springboard to the Classics: Nyquist and Exaggerator (Curlin) finished one-two over seven furlongs at Santa Anita in February; one-two over 10 furlongs at Churchill in May; and then one- three, transposing their positions, in the Preakness.

  • Mating Analysis Liam's
    MATING ANALYSIS You may submit your mare online at lanesend.com or call 859-873-7300 to discuss your matings with CHANCE TIMM, [email protected], JILL MCCULLY, [email protected] or LEVANA CAPRIA, [email protected]. LIAM’S MAP Unbridled’s Song - Miss Macy Sue, by Trippi 2011 Gray/roan | 16.1 1/2 Hands Liam’s Map possesses a unique pedigree that gives him an outstanding chance of carrying on the male line of the great sire Unbridled’s Song. His second dam, Yada Yada, by Great Above, is inbred 2x3 to the great racemare and broodmare Ta Wee. That pattern of having a closely inbred ancestor close up, whether it be broodmare sire or along the tail- female line, is a pedigree pattern that has appeared repeatedly in the pedigrees of great racehorses and line-founding sires since the dawn of thoroughbred history, beginning with the horse generally considered the first great racehorse Flying Childers, whose full brother Bartlett’s Childers is the grandsire of Eclipse, tail-male ancestor of more than 95% of modern Thoroughbreds. The most recent example is the unexpected leading sire Distorted Humor, whose second dam is inbred 3x3 to Turn-to. Since Unbridled’s Song’s sire Unbridled is also inbred 4x4 to Aspidistra, through her immortal son Dr. Fager (sire of the dam of Unbridled’s sire Fappiano) and his half-sister Magic, by Buckpasser, Unbridled’s third dam, that means Liam’s Map carries four crosses of one of the most influential broodmares of the 20th century, Aspidistra. With any new stallion it is always a good idea to reinforce the most important strains of his pedigree, and it is abundantly clear that Aspidistra’s influence was critical to the excellence of Liam’s Map.
