BELMONT HAS ALWAYS THURSDAY’S TRACKSIDE 151 REPORT BEEN THE GOAL FOR LOWS by Steve Sherack ELMONT, NY--With the star-studded GI Belmont Stakes card WITH INTREPID HEART right around the corner, the main track in terrific shape for training hours early Thursday morning despite receiving a soaking from heavy overnight rains. Hall of Fame trainer Bill Mott, sporting a New York Yankees cap, got a feel for the track walking the freshly harrowed surface, labeled “good,” under a dense cloud cover and extremely humid conditions just after 6 a.m. Mark Casse watched a set train from the rail, including the GI Longines Just A Game S.-bound Got Stormy (Get Stormy), and began contemplating whether or not to send his Belmont S. duo of War of Will (War Front) and (Awesome Again) out a little earlier than usual due to the sticky, summer-like conditions.

Indy) finished just a head behind the aforementioned Tonalist in the 2014 Test of a Champion. “We really admired his breeding,” said Robert Low. “Being a Tapit out of a Touch Gold mare, he has Belmont written all over his pedigree. With him kind of coming to hand late, it was too late for the [GI Kentucky] Derby and [GI] Preakness, but perfect for the Belmont. We have been thinking Belmont from the day we bought him. guaranteed us the win.” The owner of the trucking company Prime Inc. paused a moment and laughed, “I thought I'd get a chuckle out of you with that.

Belmont Always the Plan for Intrepid Heart cont. from p1 Intrepid Heart proved he was special right from the start, graduating by 7 3/4 lengths at first asking at Oaklawn Feb. 18 and earning the ‘TDN Rising Star’ nod. He followed suit with a wide-trip optional claimer win Apr. 5 and finished third last time as the favorite in Belmont’s GIII Peter Pan S. May 11 after stumbling at the start.

“He stumbled out of the gate and kind of chased a pretty fast pace, running up within two or three lengths of the pace,” Low said. “It just set that race up in a way that is not suited to what he wants to do. After the wire, he galloped out very strongly in front of everybody. It just wasn't a good setup with the poor start and the fast pace. If we had to do it over again, and you could predict how these things are going to come out, you might do it differently. But, we all thought it was a fairly good race considering the situation. He gave us hope.” Intrepid Heart will be piloted by Hall of Famer John Velazquez Saturday. Pletcher and Velazquez each have two Belmont wins to their credit, including one as a team with . “Johnny V rode Capote Belle to our first Grade I win in the Test,” Low said. “We Johnny. We are very fortunate to have this trainer/jockey combo.” The Lows got hooked on racing early on in their career as owners thanks to Capote Belle, who won the Test in their first year in the business in 1996. “We got hooked early on,” said Low, who lives on a farm in Primatara, Missouri, with his wife and their band of 14 broodmares. “One of the first fillies we bought named Capote Belle won the GI Test S. at Saratoga, so we were hooked for life after that. We had to wait for that next Grade I for a long time, but we have had some good horses and really enjoy the game and enjoy being on the farm with the mares and babies.” Cont. p4 3 G1 WINNERS 3 CONSECUTIVE CROPS

THE TDN BELMONT PREVIEW, PRESENTED upon in the stretch. Trainer Mark Casse said War of Will has put on a good 40 or 50 pounds since the Preakness, and there is no BY WINSTAR shortage of speed drawn to the inside for him to target from a post nine draw. War of Will can become the first horse since in 2005 to complete the Preakness-Belmont double, accomplished by just 12 other horses (excluding the 13 Triple Crown winners). That list includes Man o' War (1920), (1953), (1955) and (1967).

DISTORTED HUMOR COLT FASTEST AT OBS THURSDAY by Jessica Martini

Hip 254 | Tibor & Judit Photography A colt by Distorted Humor worked the fastest furlong of Thursday’s second session of the under-tack preview ahead of next week’s Ocala Breeders’ Sales Company’s June Sale of 2-Year-Olds in Training. Consigned by de Meric Sales, hip 254 covered the distance in :9 4/5, tying the fastest time of the week so far. “We were happy with the work--we were expecting him to work really well and he did not disappoint,” said Tristan de Meric. The bay colt is out of the unraced Driven (Forestry) and is a half-brother to multiple stakes-placed Glamoride (Ide). Driven is a half-sister to multiple stakes-placed Out for a Spin (Distorted Humor) and graded-placed Wise Action (Wise Times). The juvenile, bred by Russell Reineman Stable, RNA’d for $245,000 after working a quarter in :20 3/5 at the OBS March sale. “We’ve only had the horse for a short amount of time,” de Meric said. “Tami Bobo sent him to us about six weeks ago. He got some time after the sale--she took him back to her farm. He’s been really straightforward and it’s been a pleasure to have him.” The five-session under-tack preview continues through Sunday and de Meric said the results so far are in line with expectations. “It’s going about as expected in most spots,” he said. “There have been no big surprises either way.” De Meric Sales has enjoyed plenty of success at the juvenile auctions this spring. The consignment sold two seven-figure lots at the OBS April sale, including the $1.3-million sale topper. “We’ve been very fortunate,” de Meric said. “It’s been a great year.” Cont. p12 TDN HEADLINE NEWS • PAGE 12 OF 17 • THETDN.COM FRIDAY • JUNE 7, 2019

MARYANORGINGER OFF THE CANVAS TO "The first time out it's really not the way you want to start against winners, but she's really been professional,” said trainer BREAK MAIDEN IN ASTORIA Jeremiah Englehart of the graduate of the late J.J. Crupi’s New Castle Farm. “Other than a little rear up in the paddock, she's been really good and really smart. And I thought Jorge [Vargas, Jr.] did a good job. He let her settle and didn't get nervous.” Of the decision to debut in this tough spot, the trainer said, "I was actually targeting a turf race, but everyone at the barn was telling me do dirt. And [owner] Al [Gold] likes to run his horses the first time on dirt. And I said, 'all right.'... [After her last workout I said] ''Why don't we take a shot at the Astoria? It'll be a tough field, but she's nice. We took a shot and it paid off." Maryanorginger is the fourth black-type winner for her young sire Strong Mandate (Tiznow) and is out of a winning half-sister to GII Del Mar Futurity winner Icecoldbeeratreds (In Excess {Ire}) and his MSW full-sister Controlled, the dam of Sovereign Award winner and MGSW Bear Now (Tiznow) and SW & GSP Controlled Maryanorginger | Sarah Andrew Meeting (General Meeting).

NOSEDA TO RETIRE FROM TRAINING HOW DUBAWI HAS HELPED Jeremy Noseda, who has been training in Newmarket since EASE THE BLUES 1998 and whose greatest wins include a St Leger and a Breeders= Cup, is set to retire from training. "The time is right for me to walk away," said Noseda. "I will be leaving the sport with a smile on my face and with a lot of great memories." In 2004, Noseda notched an excellent training feat when sending Wilko (Awesome Again) to Lone Star Park in Texas for the GI Breeders= Cup Juvenile for the 11th start of his 2-year-old campaign. A maiden winner and multiple group-placed, Wilko sprang a 20-1 shock under Frankie Dettori in his first start on the dirt, with the subsequent dual Classic winner Afleet Alex (Northern Afleet) in second.

Just as he had done in the Dubai World Cup that March, Dubai Millennium (Seeking The Gold) rendered pursuit almost pointless when stringing along his five rivals in the G1 Prince of Wales's S. to have them finish at an eight-length remove or more. Up high in the old stand that day, those at Ascot with the serious business of racing on their minds began their applause while the colt was still only halfway along the straight, so unquestionable was his impending victory. What we didn't realise then was that it was the last time we would see Dubai Millennium in his majestic pomp. As tipped his hat to the injured Frankie Dettori and flew to the ground in an extravagant dismount, with him landed dreams of further glory. For on the day that Dettori returned to action after the plane crash that so nearly claimed his life, Dubai Millennium suffered his own reversal with a hind leg fracture sustained at morning exercise in early August.
