LABOR REFORM IN TAKING STOCK: MACLEAN'S MUSIC IS THE MODEL FOR VALIANT MINISTER WASHINGTON: COULD by Sid Fernando Last week, I stopped by John and Leslie Malone's 2,200-acre IT HELP RACING? Bridlewood Farm in Ocala before attending the OBS June sale and got a good look at an intriguing freshman sire who'd topped the June sale six years earlier at a then-record price of $680,000. By Candy Ride (Arg) from the unraced Deputy Minister mare Spooky Minister, Valiant Minister was bred by John Sikura's Hill 'n' Dale and had breezed a bullet eighth in :9 4/5 for consignor Eddie Woods. He was purchased on the advice of Donato Lanni by Charles and Susan Chu, who race as Baoma Corp., with Bob Baffert, and he's an eyeful. Standing about 17 hands, Valiant Minister is an imposing horse with plenty of athleticism to go with his size and substance. Cont. p5

With fewer and fewer North Americans siphoning into horse racing, the sport has turned for relief, of course, with growing reliance on Central and South America--what has proven an increasingly tenuous stable of talent the more calcified the topic of immigration has become politically. "It's always been tough," said trainer Dale Romans, about the hiring of immigrant workers. "The whole system is messed up no matter what administration is in. It just needs to be changed and fixed." After many years of political atrophy surrounding the issue, however, there are a number of bills either floating around Capitol Hill already, or else waiting in the wings, which offer the promise of long-needed assistance to the industry, an integral component of which appears to be a sweeping piece of legislation called the Farm Workforce Modernization Act.

Labor Reform cont. from p1 The act passed the house earlier this year, and farmworker groups met Wednesday with a bipartisan group of senators, along with agriculture secretary Tom Vilsack, to discuss introducing a senate version of the bill. "There's all of a sudden multiple buckets," said Eric Hamelback, CEO of the National Horsemen's Benevolent and Protective Association (HBPA), of these various pieces of legislation. "All of them, to some extent, are positive for our industry and the overall guest workers program."

To help release a bit of steam from the system, congress has "This is something we've always advocated for," Hamelback periodically enacted a returning worker provision, which permits said.

And so, has the advent of a new administration brought about any meaningful change to the immigration environment? Attorneys and trainers send different messages. "The difference is huge," said Will Velie, an Oklahoma-based immigration attorney with many clients in the racing industry. The stringent immigration policies of the Donald Trump administration saw pretty much any illegal immigrant apprehended by law enforcement vulnerable to deportation proceedings, no matter their criminal background, said Velie. But the new administration, he said, has reinstituted a prior policy, whereby illegal immigrants who come into contact with law enforcement are priorities for deportation only if they fit the following five categories of criminal history: Felons, gun possession, drugs, gang membership or domestic violence. This change has had a knock-on effect for racing, said Velie, Coady explaining how it has loosened the pressure valve on changes. backstretch communities.

Valiant Minister cont. from p1

Valiant Minister | Louise Reinegal That he's a rare gray for his sire like Grade l winner Leofric, who is in his second year at Rockridge Stud in New York, adds to his attraction. "I wasn't really interested in standing him at first, until I saw him get off the van," said George Isaacs, longtime manager of Bridlewood for Arthur Appleton and his family before the Malones bought the showcase property in 2013. "I'd told Mrs. Chu not to send him, but she did anyway, and when he stepped off that van, he was impressive. He stands out." Isaacs is a tall and lanky figure in his early 60s who sports a ubiquitous baseball cap and a short-cropped beard and tells it like it is, politely but with no holds barred. And he's no one's fool. An accomplished horseman with a record of success in Florida, Isaacs has a keen sense of Ocala breeding history, and he knows how to run a business. The moment he saw the horse in front of him, he knew he'd have to take a shot with him. "I called Eddie Woods and asked him if he remembered the colt," Isaacs said. "Eddie told me he was the fastest 2-year-old he'd ever had. And with the horses Eddie's had through the years, that said a lot." Isaacs's initial reticence stemmed from Valiant Minister's race record. He'd raced only once, at four. Susan Chu entered the business nine years ago with Lanni picking her stock, racing Grade l-placed Grade lll winners Super Ninety Nine (Pulpit) and Chitu (Henny Hughes) under her Tanma Corp. banner with Baffert in 2013 and 2014 before husband Charles came aboard and they became Baoma Corp.

FRIDAY FEAST AS ASCOT ROLLS ON SUBJECTIVIST IN After the drawn-out saga of Thursday=s G1 Gold Cup, Royal COMMAND IN GOLD CUP Ascot moves back toward speed on Friday with the G1 Coronation S. and G1 Commonwealth Cup acting as a dual focus on a day that is forecast to see an abundance of rain. In terms of prize money and its longstanding status, the Coronation holds sway and another typically fierce renewal sees the May 2 G1 1000 Guineas heroine Mother Earth (Ire) (Zoffany {Ire}) bid to hold on to her title in a rematch with the compatriot in whose shadow she stayed throughout 2020. That is John Oxley=s >TDN Rising Star= Pretty Gorgeous (Fr) (Lawman {Fr}), who had that Ballydoyle peer behind when taking the G2 Debutante S. at The Curragh in August, when runner-up in the G1 Moyglare Stud S. over the same track and trip the following month and when taking Newmarket=s G1 Fillies= Mile in October. While Pretty Gorgeous was delayed in her return to action by a bad scope prior to the 1000 Guineas, Mother Earth has made hay and can Subjectivist and Joe Fanning win the Gold Cup | racingfotos.com be said to have the jump on her old rival at present.

Stuck in traffic on the inside with nowhere to go three out, the 5-6 favourite was too far adrift of his nemesis by the time he was freed at the top of the straight. Perfectly positioned by Joe Fanning shadowing the leader Amhran Na Bhfiann (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) throughout, the 13-2 second favourite Subjectivist who was coming here off a break having followed up his G1 Prix Royal-Oak win in the G2 Dubai Gold Cup at Meydan Mar. 27 was more than willing as soon as the command was given. Out on his own as many eyes turned back to track the progress of the black-and-yellow in behind, it was Dr. Jim Walker and not Bjorn Nielsen who was able to relish the closing stages. Hitting the line hard to record a five-length verdict over Princess Zoe (Ger) (Jukebox Jury {Ire}), he was confirming the form of the Royal-Oak in the process as the well- backed Spanish Mission (Noble Mission {GB}) finished half a length away in third. Stradivarius was left to pay late on for his frantic two-furlong pursuit and under tender handling from Dettori ended up 1 3/4 lengths further behind in fourth.
