FEATURE PRESENTATION • G1 Vincent O'Brien National S. WILD THING Godolphin may have been off the scoresheet in most of the British Classics of late, but there is no arguing

with their prowess in the G1 St Leger, and Rewilding (GB) (Tiger Hill {Ire}) is a warm order to add a sixth renewal today. Third in the June 5 G1 after being transferred from the Andre Fabre academy, he returned from a planned break to put Midas Touch (GB) (Gali- leo {Ire}) to the sword in PATH TO PROMINENCE York's G2 Great Voltigeur S. Jessica Harrington may not be a name familiar with last time Aug. 17, and con- the flat fraternity, but the County Kildare conditioner is nections are in confident well known for her exploits in the jumping sphere, and mood. AThere has been a very the unbeaten Pathfork (Dis- slight improvement with his torted Humor) can widen condition since he won at her influence in today's York, but, if he runs as well Midas Touch G1 Vincent O'Brien National as he did there, then I think Inpho S. at The Curragh. Impres- that he can win,@ Mahmood sive when scoring over Al Zarooni commented. AIdeally, he would prefer some course and distance in a cut underfoot. He works better in the mornings on the strong maiden July 18, he gallops when they are on the softer side, but his form accounted for Glor Na Mara in Britain and France shows that he is quite versatile when it comes to the ground. Frankie Dettori said that Pathfork (Ire) (Leroidesanimaux {Brz}) Rewilding needs time in his races to get into his Inpho and three re-opposing rivals in the Aug. 21 G2 Futurity rhythm, and a strong pace will help him. You never S. with apparent ease. AHe worked well on Tuesday, know what is going to happen, but it will be a very and I have been delighted with him since he won the good horse that beats him.@ Cont. p3 Futurity,@ commented his trainer, who handled the great chaser Moscow Flyer (Ire). AThe fact that he won there made the call about supplementing him for this pretty easy. I haven't looked beyond The Curragh, and we=ll take it one step at a time.@

Ballydoyle Four Strong... Aidan O'Brien, who has few peers when it comes to dominating his country's top-flight juvenile contests, is looking for an eighth renewal since 1996. O=Brien is strong in numbers once more, but Zoffany (Ire) (Dansili {GB}) is the clear-cut number one contender from . He bids to emulate Dancer (Ire) (Danehill), One Cool Cat (), George Washing- ton (Ire) (Danehill) and Mastercraftsman (Ire) (Danehill Dancer {Ire}) in adding this to his success in the G1 Phoenix S. over six furlongs here last time Aug. 8. It was Glor Na Mara who was again the victim in that contest, with Zoffany's late swoop taking him a half- length clear at the line. That margin may have flattered the runner-up, as had been trapped behind rivals until late on. Cont. p2

Zoffany is backed up by stablemates Samuel Morse (Ire) (Danehill Dancer {Ire}), High Ruler (Mr. Greeley) and Rudolf Valentino (GB) (Oasis Dream {GB}), who were third, fourth and fifth, respectively, behind Pathfork in the Futurity last time. AZoffany looks like he's our best two-year-old, he=s very slick and very quick and has got a very good chance,@ said Johnny Murtagh of the horse who appears to have been the prime rea- son for him staying in Ireland and not making the trip to Doncaster.

AIt is a big step up for Janood from winning a listed race, but he has done nothing wrong in both of his starts and we need to find out how good he is,@ Saeed bin Suroor said. AHe has been working very well and is an improving colt. He is taking on some of the best two-year-olds around, but I am hopeful that he can run a nice race.@ It is rare to see Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum's Darley silks these days, but Casamento (Ire) (Shamardal) car- ries the famed maroon-and-white after a smart winning debut over this trip at Tipperary Aug. 26. AHe is in very good form, and he has come on a fair bit for his run at Tipperary,@ trainer Mick Halford said. AIt is a huge step up in class for him, but he is a horse that we have liked from the beginning and I am optimistic that he=ll run well. There are some very good horses in the line-up, but we entered him for the race in April and he has progressed well all season. He was impressive at Tipperary and, while I wouldn=t like to see the ground turning soft, he won=t mind an ease and yielding ground should be fine for him.@

St Leger S. cont.

O’Brien Shooting for ‘Tree’ Since ‘01... Aidan O'Brien has garnered two further editions of the St Leger since Milan (GB) started the ball rolling in 2001, and is represented this year by the Voltigeur second and third Midas Touch and (Ire) (Montjeu {Ire}). Beaten four and 2 1/4 lengths, respec- tively, by Rewilding on that occasion, they have ground to make up, but the former has always looked in need of extended distances, while last year=s G2 Royal Lodge S. winner Joshua Tree was having his first run in 11 months there. Midas Touch is reunited with Colm O'Donoghue, who partnered him when fifth in the Epsom Derby and a half-length runner-up to (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) in the Irish equivalent at The Curragh June 27. ABoth of them ran very well at York, and it was Joshua Tree=s first run in a long time, so we were delighted with his run. He seems to be in good form since,@ the Ballydoyle conditioner said. The Elite Racing Club=s homebred Dandino (GB) (Dansili {GB}) is bidding to provide trainer James Given with a first Classic success, and warmed up for this with a respect- able first foray into pattern company when second in Goodwood's G3 Gordon S. last time July 27.

IRISH FIELD ST LEGER cont. Sans Frontieres followed a win in Newmarket's G2 Princess of Wales's S. July 8 by defying a subsequent penalty in the Aug. 14 G3 Geoffrey Freer S. Trainer Jeremy Noseda said, AI have been delighted with the horse and feel that he is in top order. I would be a little concerned if the ground went heavy and, therefore, he will keep an entry in the G2 Prix Foy at Longchamp. The Irish St Leger is the ideal race for him and, if he runs, he will have an outstanding chance.@ Godolphin's colors were carried to glory by Kayf Tara (GB) (Sadler=s Wells) in 1998 and 1999, and this time put forward last year's Doncaster St Leger runner-up Kite Wood, who reportedly had back issues when only sixth as favorite for the Geoffrey Freer last time. AKite Wood was disap- pointing at Newbury and didn=t stay the distance of the G1 Gold Cup at Royal Ascot,@ trainer Saeed bin Suroor said. AHe has been working nicely recently and deserves another chance in a big race. He has the class to run well, and I am hoping to see him produce a better per- formance.@ Johnny Murtagh takes the ride on J “TDN Rising Star” J Flying Cross, who was making a belated three-year-old bow when winning a 12-furlong conditions event at Tipperary Aug. 26.

Doncaster Cup cont. Ninth in the 2007 G1 St Leger, Samuel hit the board in the following May's G2 Yorkshire Cup before win- ning the Listed Grand Cup at the Knavesmire track that same month. He was on the shelf tor two days shy of two years after running second in the Listed Esher S. at Sandown in July 2008. Returning to action with a fourth in this term's renewal of the Esher last time July 3, the lightly raced six-year-old continued his rise back up the ladder with a second to Opinion Poll (Ire) (Halling) in the G2 Lonsdale Cup at York Aug. 18, and exacted revenge on that rival with a career high in this. Racing in fourth for most of this marathon until inching into third at the top of the long straight, he was urged to the front approaching the final quarter mile and stayed on resolutely under a drive for the win. "Sam- uel's been through a lot and is really enjoying his racing now, so this win is just brilliant," claimed jockey Willian Buick. "I love riding these staying horses because they try so hard. He's very decent and is a real character. Before the race, I thought the only way I'd beat the others is by stretching them--because I knew my fellow stayed the trip well--and he did that today."

Waldrop Q&A cont.

Earlier this year the NTRA website began providing live coverage of major stakes races, including the seasonal debuts of Zenyatta and Rachel Alexandra. How=s the feedback been so far? NTRA Live is our web-based product, which is unique in that it=s not a live-streaming video of an event, but in fact, it=s a produced show. We take the stream of the race from the racetrack and we add our own commen- tator in Randy Moss. He brings in live or taped inter- views from people who are at the track or in the pad- dock. We add Eric Wing, who runs a live chat that goes alongside so people are able to comment constantly throughout the broadcast and interact with one an- other. I=ve been involved in the broadcast on the chat, and we=ve had other guest commentators involved as well. Rachel Alexandra and Zenyatta really catapulted this project and have drawn viewers from all over the world. We routinely now see people from 30-40 countries tune in to watch our broadcasts. I wish I could show you all the comments. They thank us profusely because with- out that web broadcast, there=s no way they would be able to see that race. Some tracks do webcast, but most don=t.

Does the NTRA support the National Racing Compact? We don=t have a formal position on it--we have mem- bers who support it and we have members who do not. We=ve never taken a vote. We were on the steering committee that helped draft the model legislation and business plan that=s been developed, but we=ve not taken a position because of the concerns raised by some of our members.

Do you think that the Racing Compact is gaining mo- mentum? Where does it currently stand? It didn=t pass in New York--it=s going to have to be re- introduced. The bill that has now been developed is better. I think that the RCI (Racing Commissioners International) is becoming better organized and that they have more of a strategic view of it now. They are more actively promoting it, too. From that perspective, I think it has a better chance of pas- sage. There are still unan- swered questions that some our members and others have-- how will it ultimately be imple- mented and whether it will result in the loss of state=s Alex Waldrop rights. Some participants, Horsephotos horsemen=s group and others, are concerned that it could be used as a bully pulpit to force organizations or states to go along with plans that really haven=t been developed by the consensus of the industry--that=s an ongoing concern. We continue to look for ways to address Click for video those concerns in the way in which proposals would be presented to the Compact. That=s a huge part of where we=re focused right now in making sure that horse- men=s groups in particular are listened to and incorpo- rated into Compact regulations.

A lot of times on major racing days, graded stakes tend to go off at the same time or overlap. Is there anything that the NTRA can do to help organize post times? Over the years there have been several efforts to do just that. Certainly there=s more coordination that can happen. There=s a variety of reasons why things get out of balance. You start out fully attempting not to run on top of one other, but delays happen. Races aren=t run in a clockwork fashion the way we would like. My 12 years at the racetrack taught me that--there=s a delay here, there=s a need to hold the windows open for a minute or two there, etc. When you have live animals as your participants and competitors, there=s much room for change. When you have multiple stakes going off, it makes it more and more difficult to coordinate. We=re always looking for better ways to do it, but it=s a huge challenge because of the nature of our game.

Any parting thoughts? One of the things that we as an organization have been putting a lot of energy and focus into is the NTRA Safety and Integrity Alliance. We believe that it is an important foundation for marketing and advocacy. Aside from the fact that safety and integrity are hugely important to our fans, the people who are watching and wagering on Thoroughbred racing, it=s very difficult to market something that doesn=t have integrity. It=s very difficult to promote or advocate for something in Wash- ington D.C. if you can=t assure lawmakers that you=re doing everything that you can to keep your athletes safe. The Alliance is an important support for all of the other initiatives that the NTRA does. Increasingly, we=re finding that having a voice and having a platform like the Alliance makes us more credible spokespersons for the industry, especially in the event that there would ever be a high-profile catastrophic injury. As an indus- try, we can step up and say that we=re doing the things Click here for the updated catalogue page to address these issues. Two years ago, we didn=t have much credibility when we stood up and said, >Trust us, we care about the horses= safety.= That didn=t work. But today we can point toward the Alliance and to the Track Accreditation process. We could say that we know that there are 20 tracks out there that are doing the right thing, there are many more that are stepping up and looking at ways to join the Alliance, and that the industry is addressing its problems and not ignoring them. That goes a long way to solving the problem-- doing what=s right by the horse, and also giving us a credible response to our fans and general public when crisis arrives.

Was the Eight Belles tragedy the lightning rod that got this going? It was happening before then. I=d say that Barbaro was probably the wake-up call to the industry. Barbaro and his injury created a lot of positive focus on the industry=s efforts on keeping our athletes safe. Barbaro was probably the crisis that was the catalyst for a real change. It was not until people saw the potential down- side to doing nothing, or at least doing less than all we could do. It wasn=t until Eight Belles and equally Big Lovable loser Zippy Chippy still a fan favorite Brown, to be honest. The outcry from the public to the use of steroids in our game was probably--according to Tom Keyser, Albany Times-Union our polling--equally as troublesome as Eight Belles=s catastrophic injury. We knew we had a lot of things to Doug O=Neill=s training title is marred by accusations address, and it brought the focus to the Safety and T.J.

VINTAGE YEAR FOR BRANDYWINE In the mind of Brandywine Farm s Pam Robinson, the = two horses had drawn the wrong post positions for the 136th running of the GI Kentucky Oaks. Champagne d=Oro (Medaglia d=Oro), a filly who did her best running on or near the front, was out in the 10 hole, pegged wide with several speed horses to her inside to con- sider. Jody Slew (Slew City Slew), on the other hand, liked to come from well back, like she=d done when she won the Tiffany Lass S. and GIII Silverbulletday S. But she was to the inside, in post two, and would be forced to show early foot in order to establish position in the crowded 14-horse field. AI thought, boy, if we could just reverse their post positions,@ Pam said. AThey were both put into situa- tions that were opposite to their running styles.@ In the end, Pam--watching the race from the comfort of her living room in Paris, Kentucky, and Taylor the Jack Russell nipping at her heels through the day should she get too loud cheering home a horse--saw her concerns realized. The two fillies were indeed compro- mised, maybe by post position, maybe by an assort- ment of factors.

After all, breeding (in the case of Jody Slew), foaling, raising and selling two Kentucky Oaks starters is a massive accomplish- ment. AWe were probably the only ones who knew it or cared, but it was an exciting day,@ she said. AIt's a nice accomplishment." Besides, there would be other races. In Champagne d=Oro=s case, her very next race. Bred by Liberation Farm, and sold from Brandywine=s 2008 Keeneland September consignment for $210,000, the Southern Equine colorbearer dropped a 39-1 surprise in the GI Acorn S. on the Belmont Stakes undercard, and showed that was no fluke when she romped by 4 1/2 lengths in the GI Test S. at Saratoga in August. Sandwiched between those starts was a runner-up effort in the GI Prioress S. Brandywine=s success has carried over to its two- year-olds, particularly in recent weeks. Embellished (Bellamy Road) became the first black-type winner for her freshman sire when she broke her maiden in North- land Park=s Princess Margaret S. in July, then made it two straight, taking the Bird of Pay S. there by seven lengths Aug. 28.

Champagne Dreams... The journey of Brandywine Farm, Jim and Pam Robin- son=s commercial breeding operation, took a path longer than the 470 miles that separate Chapel Hill from Lexington. But it=s a good place to start.

Ready for More... The Robinsons hope buyers are taking notice of Brandywine=s success, and are confident its 2010 Sep- tember consignment has some future stars, too. Without a horse in Book 1, things kick off for Brandywine next Tuesday, the first of four Book 2 sessions. Included among the highlights of the draft is hip 529, a bay filly by Elusive Quality out of MGSW Colcon (Pleasant Colony). They are also high on the chances of another Elusive Quality yearling, hip 1137, a half-brother to Valid Sum, third in the Listed Icecapade S. at Monmouth Sept. 5, and Peruvian Horse of the Year and three-time champion Black Coffey (Spend a Buck). Others to watch out for include hip 1424, a Medaglia d=Oro filly out of a full-sister to champion Flawlessly (Affirmed); and hip 1484, an Any Given Saturday filly out of SP Tiny Decision (Ogygian) from the family of Street Boss (Street Cry {Ire}). All the horses were bred by Brandywine and Liberation. They, like all the Brandywine yearlings, go through a 10-week program that includes alternating days be- tween a walker, free-lunging in a round pen (AWhich helps with manners and voice responsiveness,@ said Pam), and a HydroHorse, or underwater treadmill. AThey are superb for conditioning young horses--it takes the stress off the joints,@ said Pam. AAnd it=s also good for their minds. They walk down a ramp, exercise in the water, then walk up a ramp. I don=t think I=ve seen a single one of horses balk going into a starting " " " gate. They horses love it, especially on the hot days. It=s fun to watch them--sometimes they=ll put their noses under the water and blow bubbles and play.@ As Pam looks back at the history of Brandywine, it wasn=t the move from North Carolina to Kentucky that set the tone for the operation, but rather an earlier move, from Ohio to North Carolina. AWe still have this great picture from the move,@ she said. AWe were towing a trailer behind with our manure spreader, and in the manure spreader sat our dining room set. We must have looked like the Beverly Hillbil- lies. It was comical.@ That blend of smarts and sophistication combined with a blue-collar work ethic has helped Brandywine make a name for a itself, but for Pam, it comes down to a simple creed. AWe just try to raise good horses and keep a good reputation for treating people honestly and fairly,@ she said. -L Marquardt
