Classic Form Runs Deep in World SATURDAY, 26 MARCH 2016 GRENDISAR TOO GOOD IN EASTER CLASSIC CLASSIC FORM RUNS A true stalwart of the all-weather scene by now, Grendisar (Ire) DEEP IN WORLD CUP (Invincible Spirit {Ire}) followed up his win in the G3 Winter Derby Feb. 27 in Friday’s Coral Easter Classic on Good Friday to confirm that he is a force to be reckoned with now that his arch-nemesis Tryster (Ire) (Shamardal) is playing away in Dubai. Always well positioned by Adam Kirby in mid-division, the bay allowed Metropol (Ire) (Holy Roman Emperor {Ire}) first run in the straight, but cut down that French raider inside the last half-furlong for another major payday. “He’s a proper racehorse and has never been in better form, so is a credit to his trainer,” his jockey said, while Marco Botti revealed that a summer break is probably on the cards now. “We were confident with his form, as he looked great but you never know and luckily it panned out well with a nice genuine pace all the way,” his trainer said. “He deserved to win a big race like this and seems to enjoy it around Lingfield on this surface, so we’ve found the key to him.” Cont. p2 California Chrome and Alan Sherman at Meydan Friday | DRC/Mathea Kelley No matter what way you look at it, the American contingent MO TOM AIMS TO REBOUND IN LA DERBY forms an imposing presence in the $10-million G1 Dubai World GIII LeComte S. winner Mo Tom (Uncle Mo) anchors the Cup, the world’s richest horse race that will celebrate its 21st GII TwinSpires.com Louisiana Derby at Fair Grounds Saturday. renewal under the lights at Meydan Racecourse Saturday.

Should he win the $6-million lion’s share of the purse, California Chrome would surpass the 2008 World Cup winner Curlin (Smart Strike) as the richest-ever North American- based Thoroughbred. By all reports from connections, California Chrome is training as good, if not better than ever, and he rewarded the decision to prepare him in Dubai with a facile two-length win in a 2000-metre Meydan handicap Feb. 25. Alan Sherman, son of and assistant to trainer Art Sherman, has been stationed in Dubai with the 5-year-old since late January, and he explained this week, “We just felt he would have longer to acclimatise and it would be to his benefit.

Godolphin also visited the winner=s circle Thursday with D=Bai (Ire) (Dubawi {Ire}) in the sixth race, a 1400-metre handicap on the grass. Safely away from gate five, Benbatl was quite full of himself, tossing his head and Oisin Murphy had the unenviable task of settling the 4-year-old. Eventually he found cover by the 1500- metre mark back in fourth one off the fence next to barnmate Carry on Deryck (GB) (Halling), as Sharpalo (Fr) (Shamardal) showed the way. Sliding through a gap on the far turn, Benbatl shifted into high gear by the 500m marker and tackled the leader, but fellow Godolphin colourbearer and G2 Champagne S. hero Emotionless (Ire) (Shamardal) took dead aim a few lengths back.

    Zabeel Mile, jockey competition conclude Carnival By Michele MacDonald Full Stride Communications With horses from all over the world scrambling for their last chance to collect an invitation to the Dubai World Cup (G1) program on March 27, Friday’s seven contentious Thoroughbred races with full fields guarantee a dramatic end to the 2010 Dubai International Racing Carnival at Meydan Racecourse. Adding even more zest to the occasion is the “Meydan Masters” international jockey competition in which Americans Kent Desormeaux and Aaron Gryder, who has been riding recently in Hong Kong, will pit their skills against colleagues from Japan, Australia, Europe and the United Arab Emirates in a four-race battle. In the grand finale to Friday’s program and the Carnival, a dozen runners are poised to compete for the trophy in the $250,000 Zabeel Mile (G2) on turf. Godolphin’s Group 1 winner Rio de La Plata will try to reclaim his best form in his first start of the year and South African and English group stakes winner Imbongi is seeking a win after his unlucky nose loss in the Al Fahidi Fort (G2) on February 19. Rio de La Plata, a five-year-old son of Rahy bred in Kentucky, won the Prix Jean-Luc Lagardere Grand Criterium (G1) as a two-year-old in France and finished second in the Poule d’Essai des Poulains (French Two Thousand Guineas) (G1) the following spring. While clearly possessing class, he has not won in six starts since his juvenile season. Frankie Dettori rides Rio de La Plata from the rail post.

    1/ST BET // WAGER GUIDE KENTUCKY DERBY MAY01/2021 CHURCHILL DOWNS MEET THE 2021 DERBY CONTENDERS By Johnny D., @XBJohnnyD ESSENTIAL QUALITY: Unbeaten in five career starts, this son of Tapit is the defending Breeders’ Cup Juvenile winner and reigning 2-year-old champ. He’s also the current consensus pick as top 3-year-old. This Brad Cox-trained colt has done everything right in two 2021 starts. He romped home in the Grade 3 Southwest at Oaklawn Park and then out-fought a game, pace scenario- aided Highly Motivated at Keeneland to win the Grade 2 Blue Grass by a neck. He races a bit off the pace early, but can quickly reach contention when prompted. He has won by as much as four and one-quarter lengths and by as little as a neck. Last September, he broke his maiden first time out going six furlongs at Churchill Downs, so you know he likes the track. Jockey Luis Saez seeks redemption aboard this colt for the disappointment and criticism the rider endured following the disqualification of his mount Maximum Security from first to 17th in the 2019 Kentucky Derby. Trainer Brad Cox won last season’s Eclipse Award as the nation’s top trainer. HOT ROD CHARLIE: Ever since stretching out to two turns on the main track and adding blinkers, this son of Preakness winner Oxbow has been a tiger. His first race under those particular circumstances came in the fourth start of his career and resulted in a one-mile maiden score at Santa Anita in October.
