HOW DARBY DAN GOT ITS MOJO BACK INTO MISCHIEF COLT HAS by Bill Finley It may still seem at times that Darby Dan Farm is something SWALE ON >TO DOO= LIST out of racing=s past, when America=s aristocracy--Mellons, Vanderbilts, Galbreaths, Phippses--ran the sport=s top racing and breeding farms. Think Darby Dan and you think Chateaugay, Proud Clarion, Roberto, Little Current, Graustark, great horses but horses from a long gone era. John Phillips, owner of the farm, is proud of Darby Dan=s reputation but knows nobody in modern times cares what a farm might have done in 1967. If Darby Dan, after many down years, was to have a resurgence, resting on laurels was certainly not the answer. Darby Dan Farm, which was purchased by the Galbreath family in 1935, may never be what it was in its glory days and it does not go after the most sought after stallions when they come off the racetrack, but Phillips has found a formula that is working and has sparked a resurgence of the iconic property. He doesn=t try to hit home runs. Ground rule doubles are fine.

Tricks to Doo (Into Mischief), a $600,000 OBS March buy after breezing a furlong in :9 4/5, finished third on debut in a live maiden race 20 days earlier at Keeneland, and was accordingly dispatched as the 1-10 favorite against softer company at Laurel. A little over a sixteenth of a mile into the running, his backers, along with Jackson, Delacour and especially rider Feargal Lynch, got more than they bargained for when the horse=s left rein suddenly broke. AWe=ve had all sorts of things happen, but we=ve never had that,@ Jackson said. AI was only watching on TV, I wasn=t there, so we saw something flapping and wondered what it was. In seeing it again, we realized that Feargal had grabbed onto the mane of the horse. I=m sure it took a lot of guts to stay on that horse. He had to be scared to death.@ Composing himself, Lynch urged Tricks to Doo to overhaul a longshot pacesetter nearing the stretch and gave him a few pops of his right-handed whip en route to an improbable and powerful 5 3/4-length score.

Tricks to Doo crossing the wire with his broken rein at Laurel | MJC

While it certainly was a valiant effort from the jockey, it also said a lot about the horse and Delacour=s training job that Lynch was able to steer him home without further issue. AThat was stressful, but he showed some class,@ Delacour reflected. AHe did the right things and he=s a horse with class for sure.@ That class, along with his obvious talent, was confirmed when Tricks to Doo returned to romp by 7 1/4 lengths in Tampa=s Inaugural S. Dec. 16. Those qualities will be further tested when he makes his graded stakes debut and first start beyond six furlongs against five rivals in the seven-panel GIII Swale S. Saturday at Gulfstream. AHe=s improved and matured and he=s ready to move up the ladder,@ Jackson said. AWe only will know how talented he is by doing it, so it=s the first test at another level and we=re anxious to see if he can do it or not.@ AThe logical spot would have been to go seven furlongs and in order to do that, we had the Swale or the Pasco [S.] at Tampa,@ Delacour added. AI thought after what he showed in the [Inaugural], we=d see if we could run him in a graded stake.@ The main hurdle for Tricks to Doo in the Swale will almost certainly be Courtlandt Farms= homebred Strike Power (Speightstown). Debuting at Gulfstream Dec. 23, the chestnut showed abundant pace and never looked back, graduating by eight lengths to earn >TDN Rising Star= status along with a 102 Beyer, the second-fastest figure by a 2-year-old in 2017. AHe=s obviously a pretty impressive horse who liked the track at Gulfstream and trains there, so there=s no question mark about it for him,@ Delacour said. AWe=ve never run at Gulfstream, but at this stage with 3-year-olds, they can move forward or move backward very easily, so I=m just excited to be able to test him a little bit and see if we belong with those kinds of horses.@ Cont. p4 TDN HEADLINE NEWS • PAGE 4 OF 10 • THETDN.COM FRIDAY • FEBRUARY 2, 2018

Into Mischief Colt Has Swale On >To Doo= List cont. How Darby Dan Got Its Mojo Back cont. from p1 Though not one to cry poverty, Phillips does not have the resources of his grandfather, Darby Dan patriarch John W. Galbreath. Galbreath, who passed away in 1988 at age of 90, made his fortune in real estate, owned the Pittsburgh Pirates and campaigned two GI Kentucky Derby winners, Chateaugay (1963) and Proud Clarion (1967). Darby Dan also owned 1972 G1 Epsom Derby winner Roberto, named for the Pirates= Hall of Famer Roberto Clemente. Galbreath made his fortune in real estate, and in 1986, Forbes estimated that, along with his son, Dan, he was worth $400 million. Darby Dan has done remarkably well in recent years with mid- level stallions. Now standing for $25,000, Dialed In (Mineshaft) was the champion first-crop sire of 2016 and had more black type winners than any other second crop sire in 2017. Cont. p5

Roy Jackson, Arnaud Delacour and Gretchen Jackson | Sarah Andrew Tricks to Doo=s speed has been a weapon, but it=s also the reason Delacour has decided to keep the colt at sprint distances through his first four starts. AHe=s very forward in his training and he actually has a tendency to do a little too much in the morning,@ the French- born conditioner said. AI can either breeze him alone or behind a horse, but head-to-head, he wants to do a little bit too much. We=ve been trying to--not slow him down because I still think his speed is his best asset--but just to get him to relax a little bit.@ If he delivers another promising run in the Swale, however, the temptations would be great to see how far Tricks to Doo can go as the road to the GI Kentucky Derby ramps up. Delacour is not yet convinced that his quick pupil will be a router, but he=s ready John Phillips | Shandon Cundiff for that contingency should he see indications of untapped stamina Saturday. AIt depends how he does and the way he does it.@ Delacour said. AIf it looks like he could go a little bit further, we might try him two turns and the [Mar. 10 GII] Tampa Bay Derby could be an option for that. The timing is pretty good if we want to do so, but he needs to show that he wants to go a little bit further and at the moment, I=m not quite sure, because he does show a lot of speed in his workouts and in his races obviously. So [the Swale] is going to be a test and a good way to find out where to go next.@

BAFFERT TAKING HIS TIME WITH WEST COAST & COLLECTED By Christie DeBernardis

West Coast | Leslie Martin

Bob Baffert was pleased with how West Coast (Flatter) (second) and Collected (City Zip) (seventh) exited last Saturday=s GI Pegasus World Cup Invitational S., but will take his time in deciding future plans for both horses. West Coast was named 2017's champion 3-year-old male on the back of wins in the GI Travers S. and GI Pennsylvania Derby Thursday night. On Saturday, the bay proved he would be a force to be reckoned with as a 4-year-old as well when gamely chasing home Horse of the Year Gun Runner (Candy Ride {Arg}) in the Pegasus. He finished 2 1/2 lengths behind that dual Eclipse winner in second, but was 10 3/4 lengths clear of third- place finisher Gunnevera (Dialed In). AHe really showed up,@ Baffert said. AHe has just been a very consistent horse and keeps getting better. He came out of the race very well. He is back here at Santa Anita and goes back to the track tomorrow. He is a little tired from the shipping, but he looks good.@ Last year, Baffert sent his inaugural Pegasus winner and champion Arrogate (Unbridled=s Song) on to Dubai following his romp in Hallandale.

It was as vivid an image as you could hope to see, to condense TWO LOTS SET NEW TATTS the quest that brings so many horsemen and women to places like this, year after year, in the hope that the patient cycles of FEBRUARY RECORD their business will result in the breeding or buying of a champion. A mare standing guard over her tiny, anxious filly, the pair representing decades of experience and judgement by the Weinstock family and the long-serving Ballymacoll manager, Peter Reynolds. And some premier breeders were duly inspired to contest the opportunity to tap into a family tree nostalgically evocative of the pale blue silks, with the yellow and white checked cap. For Thetis, herself runner-up in the G2 Rockfel S., is a half- sister to the lightly raced G3 Musidora S. winner Liber Nauticus (Ire) (Azamour {Ire}) out of a half-sister to the champion Conduit (Ire) (Dalakhani {Ire}); in turn out of a half-sister to Classic winner Spectrum (Ire) (Rainbow Quest). Having been unable to make her intended engagement in the December Sale, she had since delivered a filly by Lope De Vega (Ire) (Shamardal). Cont. p2

Meanwhile a crisp winter day had already faded into rainy dusk. And then, all of a sudden, the February Sale found its keynote. Within a few hectic minutes, at an auction which only registered its first 500,000gns sale through Easton Angel (Ire) (Dark Angel {Ire}) last year, 2,100,000gns was spent on four lots. The circumstances, of course, were highly singular. For the usual flotsam and jetsam you might expect at a midwinter breeding stock sale had been joined, thanks to an unusual tide of fortune, by some of the most precious driftwood in European bloodstock. First there was the fire sale resulting from the Steinhoff accounting scandal in South Africa, which has evidently required some partnerships involving Markus Jooste to be dissolved. And then, in contrast with that embarrassment, there was a rather charming epilogue to the Ballymacoll dispersal: the sale, as one lot, of the 5-year-old mare Thetis (Ire) (Invincible Spirit {Ire}) and her first foal--a filly just 19 days old. “WE’RE SENDING 25 OF OUR BEST MARES TO DECORATED KNIGHT.

>Heart= Will Head Stateside... Key To My Heart (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}), selling in the same frenzied sequence as lot 154, had a very similar profile. She was an even more expensive yearling out of Book 1 in 2015, at 1.3 million gns, and raced for the same interests. It did take her six starts to break her maiden, but she later added a listed prize at Naas and represents the kind of blend of which you don=t see enough these days: by a colossus among European sires but out of A Z Warrior (Bernardini), winner of the GI Frizette S. and a half-sister to two others also placed at the same level on dirt. The need to mix things up that way is not lost on the shrewd Eamon Reilly, who duly went to 525,000gns on behalf of an American client. AGalileo mares are obviously hard to get and that=s a page that will hopefully work out in the States,@ the BBA Ireland man explained. ASo that=s where she=ll go to be bred.@

Reilly was especially pleased as he had been underbidder, a few minutes previously, for Longing (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}). Selling as lot 148, the 4-year-old had started the dizzy spike in the day=s business at 220,000gns for Cormac McCormack. Again, she had been a seven-figure yearling here for the Jooste-Coolmore association, but had been unable to build on a maiden success in a brief career. AI=m delighted to get her,@ McCormack said.

Pocketfullofdreams (Fr) (Invincible Spirit {Ire}) was instead secured for 475,000gns by Stephen Hillen, who confined himself to stating that he was representing a new client. Coolmore representatives were observing from nearby, as well they might after seeing the 4-year-old half-sister to MGSW The Juliet Rose (Fr) (Monsun {Ger}) hold her value since her acquisition by Peter Doyle and Mayfair Speculators as a i550,000 Arqana August yearling. She was twice runner-up in listed company, besides winning her maiden, and Hillen noted, AIt=s a happening family, The Juliet Rose made a lot of money privately, and of course she=s by Invincible Spirit.@

>Rose= Bounds for Cheveley Park... Another gem set in this cluster was lot 153, Tallulah Rose (GB) (Exceed And Excel {Aus}). Out of a half-sister to both Laughing (Ire) (Dansili {GB}), winner of the GI Flower Bowl S. and GI Diana S., and Hong Kong champion Comic Strip (GB) (Marju {Ire}), she was acquired by Chris Richardson of Cheveley Park Stud as a highly eligible partner for its new sire Ulysses (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}). Purchased here out of Book 2 for 80,000gns, the Floors Stud Stephen Hillen | Tattersalls graduate won at Bath as a juvenile for Karl Burke but failed to go on after running a good fourth in the G3 Princess Margaret S.

We=re really pleased with all the stallions at Cheveley Park: they=re an interesting group and at an interesting time in their careers.@

Chris Richardson | Tattersalls Juddmonte Offerings in Demand... The bulk of the Juddmonte draft is concentrated in Friday=s session but two mares sold Thursday consecutively raised the tempo during the low-key start to proceedings. The 15-year-old Novellara (GB) (Sadler=s Wells), herself a listed winner for the late Sir Henry Cecil, is a half-sister to--among others--Oaks winner Reams Of Verse (Nureyev) and dual Group 1 winner Elmaamul (Diesis {GB}), as well as to the dam of Breeders= Cup winner Midday (GB) (Oasis Dream {GB}). That drops the genetic miner straight down to one of the richest Juddmonte seams. True, this mare has not had the best of luck at stud herself--despite one group winner in Australia--but she arrived as lot 70 with the benefit of a covering by the farm=s up- and-coming sire Bated Breath (GB). That was good enough for agent Will Douglass, who signed the 55,000gns docket and said, AThere=s not that many chances to buy a Sadler=s Wells mare who has produced a black-type horse, and that=s probably Juddmonte=s best family under the first dam. And I think it=s fair to say that it=s getting quite hard to get into Bated Breath, too.@ The next mare into the ring brought exactly twice that sum from Paul Webber, bidding 110,000gns on behalf of David Nagle of Barronstown Stud. Canada Water (GB) (Dansili {GB}) (lot 71) is a full-sister to an Arc winner in Rail Link (GB), as well as three other group winners, and her first foal was beaten a head in the G3 Prix de la Rochette.

"It has been a costly mistake for a small training yard like ours, but we put our hand up that we made a mistake and we have to pay for it,@ Furtado said. "It's not good that it happened, but we will introduce new measures in our yard to make sure it doesn't happen again. I believe it was a very fair hearing. The BHA was also very fair the way they conducted the investigation. FURTADO FINED FOR MIX UP Hopefully we can now put it behind us and concentrate on training horses." This was the second instance within six months of a wrong horse competing at a British racecourse, with trainer Charlie McBride sending out the wrong horse to win at Yarmouth in July, and the BHA has vowed that it will roll out a more secure scanning device in March.

TDN: What advice would you give your 16-year-old self?

MR: Stop skipping class trying to attend the breeze-up sales and finish your degree. Take every opportunity you get and use it to its full potential, keep your head down and work hard and keep a smile on your face, it has helped me for years.

TDN: What do you think is the biggest challenge facing the industry and how would you solve it?

MR: I think one of the most frightening challenges which the industry faces without going into too much detail is the staffing challenge. There are so many trainers for instance who are struggling to find the staff to ride and look after these horses. I think there are many more people much more clever than I trying to find a solution so it is not just as easy as solving it in a paragraph. Maria Ryan and Angus Gold | Tattersalls TDN: What do you think horse racing's perception is for the Young Guns: Maria Ryan Cont. general public?

TDN: Who has been the biggest influence on your career? MR: I think the general public may perceive horse racing as a glamorous and social industry. Many of my friends at home are MR: There were multiple influences on my career to date, not not involved in the industry but very much love attending the just one in particular. As I was not bred into the industry as such races and from their point of view it is a great social event. I had to very much make my own way and there were a lot of people who believed in me and helped. The Doyles helped TDN: How would you attract more young people into the immensely as they were the first people I shadowed at the sales workforce? and they gave me exposure and confidence to believe in my own opinions and stick to them. Tom Malone was a very good MR: I don't think attracting young people into the workforce is help in the same way and consignors such as Jacqueline Norris the biggest problem, I think keeping the older and more and Eddie O'Leary also gave valuable experience. experienced people is where the problem lies due to a number of factors. There are a lot of young people who have a love for TDN: What does your role involve? the equine industries and not just in racing. I think if there were more workshops and seminars made available for the schools MR: My role is very varied and is very much a team effort and young people to attend during their most influential years keeping Angus organised. In a nutshell we help organise and this would encourage young people to get involved. keep track of Sheikh Hamdan's horses in training in both hemispheres; we liaise with trainers and their invaluable TDN: Who is your favorite racehorse of all time and why? secretaries through the season and attend the sales when Shadwell are purchasing and selling.

Jungle Cat (Ire) (Iffraaj {GB}) has been knocking on the door in black-type company his entire career, from the time he was placed in four group races at two for trainer Mark Johnston, and the bay at last broke through for his first score in that sphere in Thursday=s G2 Al Fahidi Fort at Meydan. Jungle Cat was transferred to Charlie Appleby for an abbreviated 3-year-old campaign and had his first Dubai carnival visit the following season, where he posted a win at the handicap grade before being beaten a nose in the G3 Meydan Sprint.

BOYNTON (g, 4, More Than Ready--Baffled (GSP-US), by Distorted Humor), a half-brother to GI Florida Derby and GI Donn H. winner Constitution (Tapit) and Grade III Tempted S. winner Jacaranda (Congrats), looked set to follow in the footsteps of those illustrious siblings when winning the G2 July S. in his second start at two, but the chestnut failed to build on that promise last year and, after picking up two stakes placings, was gelded at the end of the season. Making his return and his dirt debut here, the $750,000 Keeneland September yearling was asked to take up the lead by William Buick with last out carnival winner Kimbear (Temple City) shadowing him. That pair separated themselves from the pack when they turned for home and Boynton shook off his rival inside the 200, drawing Hartnell will start first-up in the C.F. Orr | Bronwen Healy clear to win by 2 3/4 lengths. It was 7 1/4 lengths back to the next from Kimbear. Godolphin=s Group 1 winner Hartnell (GB) (Authorized {Ire}), better known as being the perpetual bridesmaid to Winx (Aus) (Street Cry {Ire}) many times in recent seasons, will dodge that three-time G1 Cox Plate winner first-up this season when he takes in the G1 C.F. Orr S. at Caulfield on Feb. 10. The 7-year-old was second in a 1000 metre trial at Warwick Farm on Thursday, making up ground late without being pressured by jockey Kerrin McEvoy. Trainer James Cummings told Racing.com, "He covered a little bit of ground in his trial but he looked lovely in his action and he kept ranging up beautifully and he attacked the line well and looks to have returned in good form. I was really happy with the way he pulled up from the trial and to my eye he looks ready to go first-up over seven furlongs.@ Also finishing second in a Thursday trial for Godolphin was last season=s G1 Caulfield Guineas runner-up Kementari (Aus) (Lonhro {Aus}), who targets the G3 Eskimo Prince S. next weekend. Godolphin could have another talented son of its Boynton | DRC/Andrew Watkins champion sire Lonhro on its hands after the 2-year-old Plague Stone (Aus) dominated his trial, winning by almost five lengths. Baffled was a $360,000 buyback at Keeneland November in The nearly black colt was second in his lone start at Rosehill in 2013 and that soon proved a shrewd move, with Constitution November. notching the first of his Grade I successes just months later, In another notable trial result, Mandalong Stud=s Mandalong Jacaranda following up later that year and Boynton selling for Tapit (Tapit) won an 800-metre heat at the second time of three-quarters of a million the following year.
