SNOWFALL FACES TEST OF THE GENERATIONS MISHRIFF OUT ON HIS OWN Having played with a crop of 3-year-old fillies unable to stay IN THE INTERNATIONAL within hailing distance of her so far this year, Ballydoyle=s fast- ascending starlet Snowfall (Jpn) (Deep Impact {Jpn}) has a proper examination awaiting her on York=s Knavesmire on Thursday as Wonderful Tonight (Fr) (Le Havre {Ire}) squares up in the G1 Darley . Thoroughly scintillating in the June 4 G1 and impressive as the widest-margin winner of the G1 Irish Oaks on record at The Curragh July 17, she even has course form having kickstarted her illustrious campaign in the May 12 G3 Musidora S. and the advantage of a nine-pound weight-for-age swing with her 4-year-old foe. All that said, she is dealing with a completely different type of animal than her accompanying stablemate Divinely (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}), who was nearest in the Irish Classic, 8 1/2 lengths behind.

Coming out of his tussle with Adayar (Ire) (Frankel {GB}) in the King George in buoyant form, the bay raced evenly in fourth early alongside Love as they tracked Mac Swiney (Ire) (New Approach {Ire}) and Alenquer. Always moving smoothly, Mishriff challenged up the centre of the track as all rivals were flat out and he was soon well beyond reach to recall memories of wide- margin winners of this in Sakhee, Royal Anthem and Assert (Ire) without quite hitting the dizzying heights of Frankel (GB). What he does have over the last three of that quartet is the ability to race with equal prowess on the dirt, which is where comparisons with the highly-talented Sakhee are apt as that Shadwell luminary went so close in the Breeders= Cup Classic 20 years ago.

He measured up to the best of his own age through the autumn, running second in the G1 Randwick Guineas to Lion's Roar (NZ) (Contributer {Ire}), charging home to claim the Rosehill Guineas and then taking on the older horses, but failing to quite measure up in either the G1 Doncaster H. or the G1 Queen Elizabeth S.

Kiku cont. Given the improvement that her brother took into his 4-year-old season, we can expect Kiku to have progressed as well, and the patient approach Waller has taken with her could be set to pay major dividends this spring. She has had a couple of trials this time in, one in Brisbane and one in Sydney. She would seem the perfect profile of horse for the new $2-million fillies and mares' race, The Invitation, and that could lead her into the Golden Rose a week later. She could also target the Empire Rose S. if Waller decided to go down the Melbourne path.

CON LIMA SWEETENS SPA TOASTS RACING STALWART by Chris McGrath B. WAYNE HUGHES DIES It's the kind of tale that might prompt a listening barman to catch the eye of one of the regulars and give a wink. Sure you have, pal. A Texas-bred Commissioner filly? You hear that, folks? This guy has a $22,000 2-year-old RNA with a Hall of Fame trainer. And she's the top turf sophomore filly in America. Well I guess it must be your round, buddy. But nobody needs to tell Joseph F. Graffeo, himself the son of a bartender, the kind of odds being confounded by Con Lima, who has been beaten by a single American rival in eight starts on the turf and took her earnings to $884,865 when making all in the GIII Saratoga Oaks Invitational earlier this month. Graffeo has been in and around the game for four decades, hardened by all the usual ups and downs, and this filly's rags-to-riches rise-- with a lucrative expansion in her ownership group--has melted his sentimental armor.

Wayne Hughes Dies, cont. from p1 Despite his fortune, Hughes was well known for sticking with his middle-class habits, eating fast food--SoCal staple In >n= Out Burger was a favorite--dressing modestly and hanging out at the track he was raised in the shadow of, Santa Anita. Introduced to horse racing by his father as a young boy, Hughes was involved in the sport for decades as an adult before making his big splash with the purchase of Spendthrift in 2004. The historic farm, which once stood Triple Crown winners Seattle Slew and Affirmed, fell into bankruptcy when the Thoroughbred market crashed in the late 1980s and early 1990s and was sold at a foreclosure auction in 1993. He purchased Spendthrift in 2004 and traded in his residence in California for a life on the farm in Lexington. Hughes quickly began restoring the historic brand and its land, renovating almost all the farm=s signature structures and returning Spendthrift to a viable commercial breeding operation.

Con Lima, cont. from p1 "I used to be a pretty tough guy but now I'm just a mush," Graffeo says with a chuckle. "I cried about 10 times [at Saratoga]. I was like, 'What the hell, Italian guys from New York are not supposed to do this.' But we've been up and down in life, and as I get a little bit older--more than a little--you really appreciate a gift like this. I don't mind telling you, having gone 20 years without something like this, it's emotional." That previous glimpse of the summit, halfway through his Turf career, came with millionaire Two Item Limit (Twining), picked out for $50,000 at OBS March and sold for $525,000 after a career that encompassed success in the GII Black-Eyed Susan S. and a longshot podium behind Unbridled Elaine (Unbridled's Song) and Spain (Thunder Gulch) in the GI Breeders' Cup Distaff of 2001. That was particularly special, as the meeting was staged that year at Belmont Park: forever Graffeo's "home" track, even though he has been resident in Florida since 1987.

Joe Graffeo | Courtesy of Joe Graffeo "If I wanted to see Dad on his off days, every day he'd go to the track," he explains. "If I wanted to spend time with him and my uncles, they liked to gamble, we'd go to Belmont, go to Aqueduct. I think I was five when he first took me to the racetrack, we lived four miles away from Belmont, and it was love at first sight: oh my God, seeing these majestic animals! And it was our mutual interest that kept me close to my father." At the level of the market where Graffeo and his partners tend to operate--typically in the range of $20,000 to $50,000--you obviously have to compromise on something. Two Item Limit, for instance, had major defects of conformation. "She was crooked," Graffeo says frankly. "But she floated over the ground. She winged out like crazy, but she was so athletic that when she hit the ground it was like she wasn't even touching it. She was our best horse, up until now, but nothing compared to this filly. This filly is really special." TDN HEADLINE NEWS • PAGE 7 OF 16 • THETDN.COM THURSDAY • AUGUST 19, 2021

She was drawn to his attention after falling through the cracks at the 2020 edition of the same sale that had once produced Two Item Limit. Bred by Lisa Kuhlmann, the second-crop daughter of Commissioner (who would be exported to Saudi Arabia soon afterward) had been sold to V.C. Corp as a $15,000 KEENOV weanling before failing to meet her reserve at $19,000 back in the same ring the following September. With the market meanwhile petrified by a global pandemic, even the privilege of a Niall Brennan education could not prevent her again being led out unsold at OBS, at $22,000. Graffeo checked out the video. "And I kind of liked her," he recalls. "She looked very athletic, looked like she could fit the bill for us. When you buy at the price we do, and are as selective as we are, then you're going to have to give something away. Probably they saw Texas-bred, they saw Commissioner, and that's why they didn't buy her. But I just watched her breeze, and she worked good." So he called his partner Charles Weston. "Do me a favor, check this baby out." He knew that Weston was by no means certain to give the green light. Graffeo has the miles on the clock for his judgement to be worth heeding--for many years he scouted talent for bloodstock agent Nick Sallusto--but ultimately when he sends Weston a video they both need to agree. This time, Weston came back and said in his Texas drawl: "Pull the trigger, buddy, pull the trigger." So some of Graffeo's regular partners were brought in, and the "It was tough to get her to pay attention and listen," Graffeo filly was sent down to Carlos David at Palm Meadows. Two recalls. "She was an absolute handful, but I think that things quickly became clear. One was that Con Lima was competitive nature is what makes her what she is. And when I decidedly quirky.

He has been involved in expensive horses with Saratoga? Sallusto, he has traded plenty of stakes winners, and will go prospecting for yearlings at the September Sale with the confidence of one who has made many different angles work over the years. Ultimately, however, Con Lima has vindicated his faith in the value available at a certain level of a certain market. And there's no rule stating that this second elite "item" has to be the limit. "I just came back from the sale at Saratoga, and the prices were great, there were some really nice horses and I'm sure they were worth it," he says. "So I'm not saying it's the same for other folks. But for us the risk-reward percentage, our main push, has been with the 2-year-olds. We got a Classic Empire at the April Sale, I just watched him breeze and it was outstanding. And we got more coming. So we're looking forward to some of these babies. People that spend what I do, it feels like it can only be once-in-a-lifetime--but you never know."

"You know, I don't see the young people as involved in racing as I think they should be," Graffeo remarks. "But if you did a video of Saratoga that weekendY It was just so vibrant, so exciting, so glamorous, it was how racing was meant to be. Somehow we need to figure out how we get that message out there, and rebuild a strong foundation for the future. They might not do it on a Wednesday afternoon at Parx, but on a weekend at Saratoga or Gulfstream, you can just see the place rocking. I guess after missing last year, people are going out and have a good old time. I've been around a long time, I'm getting older, but even I was caught up in it: it made me feel young." And Graffeo senses that Con Lima is herself helping to spread the word. His son's social media has registered a tidal wave of enthusiasm for the underdog with a catchy name. Deep down, perhaps, to Graffeo himself it would have been still more precious had she managed to hold out in the Belmont Oaks--not so much for the Grade I rank as for the setting.

Amid concerns that Los Al wasn't doing enough to mitigate the ABREU CATCHES FIRE POST-QUARANTINE 29 equine deaths that occurred at the track in 2020, the CHRB in December 2020 voted 5-1 to only grant the track a six-month AT SARATOGA license. In the immediate aftermath of that controversial vote, Los Al owner Ed Allred had threatened to close his Quarter Horse track and develop the property for a purpose other than racing, which would also affect the Thoroughbred meets that Los Al hosts in June/July, September and December. One month later, in January 2021, the CHRB took up the issue again, re-voting 4-3 to grant Los Al its customary full-year Quarter Horse license. Even though that Quarter Horse license is separate from the Thoroughbred meet that got approved for Los Al on Wednesday, safety still percolated to the top of discussion, with Gonzales wanting to make it known that he now believes Los Al has worked diligently to make improvements.

LOOSE WIRING BLAMED FOR 'AFTER THE BELL' BETTING AT THISTLEFOWN by T.D. Thornton Dislodged wiring within the United Tote Company circuitry at Thistledown resulted in betting pools remaining open for nearly a minute into a one-mile race on Tuesday. Wagering had to be manually stopped once the error was discovered mid-race, and the race was eventually declared a "no contest" for pari-mutuel purposes. Based on pool totals shown on the Thistledown post-race video feed, this meant refunds of $82,191 in wagers for the sixth race Aug. 17. It is unclear how much of that money was bet "after the bell."

The 4-year-old gelding was 0-for-10 going into the race and was listed as the second choice in the morning line behind a favored pari-mutuel coupling. Just prior to the gates opening, Little Bita Smoke was 2-1 on the track's video feed, with the entry bet down to 3-5 odds. TDN HEADLINE NEWS • PAGE 14 OF 16 • THETDN.COM THURSDAY • AUGUST 19, 2021

Little Bita Smoke veered sharply outward at the break of the one-mile race, then gunned to a contending position on the turn and seized the lead onto the backstretch. One clue that something might have been pari-mutuelly amiss was that no running order and odds were listed at the bottom of the track's video feed, which is customary at Thistledown. As the field hit NEW HORSE COUNTRY BOARD PRESIDENT IS the far turn, the running order briefly flashed on the broadcast VISITLEX'S BORDEN feed. With a tenuous lead and three furlongs left in the race, Little Bita Smoke had plunged in price to 4-5, while the entrymates were bearing down in second and third at rising 6-5 odds. Although Little Bita Smoke eventually swatted away the advances of the entrymates and was drawing clear by 2 1/2 lengths approaching the finish, the gelding gave his would-be backers a scare by jumping tire tracks left by the starting gate just prior to the wire. The track was listed as "fast" on the chart, but rain during the race had quickly turned the track wet.
