O'brien Sends Two for Competitive Man O' SATURDAY, MAY 11, 2019 ‘BEST EVER’ COPA BULLRICH ON TAP O'BRIEN SENDS TWO FOR By Kelsey Riley COMPETITIVE MAN O' WAR Next week, Argentine sale firm Antonio Bullrich, named for its principal, kicks off the 14th renewal of its flagship yearling sale, Copa Bullrich. Days one and two of the sale take place on May 14 and 16 and comprise Book 1, while Book 2 is spread across June 4 and 6. On day one, selling takes place at Palermo Racecourse in Buenos Aires, and the remaining three days are at the farm of seller Haras La Pasion. “I’m not afraid to say this is the very best [Copa Bullrich sale] we’ve ever organized,” Bullrich said. “All four days are unbelievable.” Indeed, the first horse through the ring on Tuesday (lot 1) should set the standard, being a 3/4-brother to American Horse of the Year Invasor (Arg) (Candy Stripes {Arg}), by Candy Stripes’s champion sire son Equal Stripes (Arg).

One slot ahead of Magic Wand that day was another O'Brien/Coolmore charge, Hunting Horn (Ire) (Camelot {GB}). Less accomplished than his filly stablemate, the bay has nevertheless already acquitted himself well over this turf course when third in the GI Belmont Derby last July. Prior to his run in the Sheema, Hunting Horn had filled the trifecta in both the HH The Emir's Trophy Feb. 23 in Qatar and GIII William L. McKnight S. on the Pegasus undercard at Gulfstream. Narrow morning-line favoritism rests with Klaravich Stables and Bill Lawrence's Focus Group (Kitten's Joy). A mainstay in long-distance allowance races for most of 2017 and 2018, the dark bay broke through when making his stakes debut in the 13-furlong John's Call S. Aug. 22 at Saratoga. After a third in the GI Pattison Canadian International S., the Chad Brown pupil picked up his first graded tally last out in the GII Pan American S. Mar. 30 at Gulfstream. Channel Maker (English Channel) returns to the scene of his biggest triumph. Knocking on the door in Grade I races for multiple seasons, the gelding took out his frustrations with a comprehensive 4 1/2-length score in the GI Joe Hirsch Turf Classic S. over boggy local ground Sept. 29. He packed it in to finish 11th after contesting a fast pace in the GI Breeders' Cup Turf and has been off the board in two starts as a 5-year-old, running fifth in the Pegasus Turf and fourth in the GII Mac Diarmida S. Mar. 2 in Hallandale. Besting him in that contest was Michael Hui's Zulu Alpha (Street Cry {Ire}). BROWN LOOKS TO HAVE ANOTHER SHARP SHIPPER FOR BEAUGAY by Joe Bianca Last May, trainer Chad Brown brought in a good-looking gray European import off of a Group 1 placing to make her North American debut in the GIII Beaugay S. at Belmont. A Raving Beauty (Ger) (Mastercraftsman {Ire)} won impressively before going on to pick up two Grade I victories. It wouldn't be a big surprise if the same scenario gets underway once more in Saturday's Beaugay renewal, as Brown starts the promising Homerique (Exchange Rate) as part of an imposing pair of challengers in the 1 1/16-mile turf test. Homerique has shown tantalizing ability from the jump, annexing her debut by eight easy lengths going a mile and a quarter over soft ground at Chantilly. She quickly stepped into group company, and was a half-length second in the G3 Prix Penelope before running third by a neck in the G1 Prix de Diane Longines (French Oaks). A bit overmatched when seventh against males in the G1 Prix du Moulin de Longchamp Sept. 9, she closed her sophomore campaign with a strong third in the G1 Prix de l'Opera Longines, earning a career-high 115 Timeform Rating.

It is not even a week since Newmarket=s Guineas were played out in what seemed like a wintry grip, but already we have a new, red-hot Derby favourite.

Sadly, Lingfield=s Derby Trial no longer carries Group 3 status and there have been many moons since High-Rise (Ire), Kahyasi (Ire) and Slip Anchor (GB) won en route to Derby glory, but last year=s G2 Futurity S. winner is the classiest participant in this listed Classic pointer for some time.

  • SUMMER MAGAZINE 2019 INTRODUCTION P ARK HOUSE STABLES Orse Racing Has Always Been Unpredictable and in Many Ways That Is Part of Its Attraction
    P ARK HOUSE STABLES SUMMER MAGAZINE 2019 INTRODUCTION P ARK HOUSE STABLES orse racing has always been unpredictable and in many ways that is part of its attraction. It can provide fantastic high H points but then have the opposite effect on one’s emotions a moment later. Saturday 13 July was one of those days. Having enjoyed the thrill of watching Pivoine win one of the season’s most important handicaps, closely followed by Beat The Bank battling back to win a second Summer Mile, the ecstasy of victory was replaced in a split second by a feeling of total horror with Beat The Bank suffering what could immediately be seen to be an awful injury. Whilst winning races is important to everyone at Kingsclere, the vast majority of people who work in racing do it because they love horses and there is nothing more cruel in this sport than losing a horse, whether it be on the gallops or on the racecourse. Beat The Above: Ernie (Meg Armes) is judged Best Puppy at the Kingsclere Dog Show Bank was a wonderful racehorse and a great character and will be remembered with huge affection by everyone at Park House.
