R ACING N OW T HROUGH L ABOR D AY, SEPTEMBER 3 Today, Santos finally can take a look back at a career worth praise. It wasn’t until about three or four years ago, when Santos was first nomi- nated, that he actually took the time to research his own career. “One day I sat America’s RaceTrack down by myself. I started reading what I did, all the big races I’d won. I saw that I was close to it, to being in the Hall of Fame. That’s when it hit me,” he said laughing. Santos isn’t too worried about retire- ment. It’s just another turn in a life spent crossing the wire first. He knows there’s another challenge out there waiting for him. He’s a champion; a competitor. His name will be remembered. He’s a Hall of Famer.

The aura of yesteryear… the excitement of today. The summer place for the world’s best Thoroughbreds where fun and fashion mix with celebrity and tradition.

The Hall of Fame wasn’t the start of something big for After Market; it was, for a long while, the one bright spot to reflect upon. The son of $225,000,000 not only wouldn’t win again until From 2000 through 2006 in April, he wouldn’t even hit the board. After run- black type stakes races alone, ning 10th in the Kent at DelPark, he took the trainers who fed rest of the year off. Following an eighth in a Hallway Feeds Racing Products Gulfstream allowance, he left Bill Mott’s barn earned in excess of and the East Coast for John Shirreffs and the $225-million dollars in Left Coast.

32 Monday, August 6, 2007 Monday’s Detailed Analysis Energy. Enthusiasm. Equine Expertise.

1st Race: Wow, the opener is begging for times, but he might be more effective at a one- someone to come from the clouds and pick up turn mile; wouldn’t blame you if you try to get the pieces from what looks to be a protracted him out of the exacta. DISTORTED REALITY fig- speed duel. Let’s give the edge to JULES FOR ures for Pletcher and Velazquez off his Lexington A.J., as she loves this track. Being claimed by win at this distance last time out at Belmont. Diane and Sara are passionate horse Belmont leaders Gary Contessa and Winning people and real estate specialists. It’s Move Stable should only help. CHUNK OF LOVE 9th Race: Having a tough day? Need a nice a winning combination, providing also fits the profile and is in-form for Michael longshot to get you out before you head home? Miceli. Wouldn’t mind taking the loss and seeing We’ve got one for you in FIGHTING SPEEDY who you with superior knowledge and UNDENIABLE QUEEN get another for Chop Chop can make a late run on the speed under Cornelio personal service for all your equine Chavez, one of my all-time favorites. Velasquez. Toss the turf experiment last time and and residential property needs. Call or his form comes into focus. BROWN EYED BELLE visit our office conveniently located in 2nd Race: BRANTLEY acquitted herself quite will try and take them as far as she goes. Let’s downtown Saratoga Springs nicely first time against winners, and they were hope the other speed softens her up. SHOOT two tigers as well (Wingspan and Lahudood – THE BUGLER could be another live bomber un- at 519 Broadway. the latter runs in the Gr. I Beverly D. at Arlington der Julien Leparoux. This mare figures to be flat- Saturday). She meets no one like that here and tered by the prospective hot pace as well. If not, 5 1 8 . 5 8 7 . 4 5 0 0 w w w. r o o h a n r e a l t y. c o m the day’s best looks long gone on the lead. MI- there’s always Del Mar. CHELE THE GREAT steps up to open company – Brian Nadeau but doesn’t seem out of place with this cast; could set up shop close to the top one and hang on for a big piece. SWEET WAY hasn’t quite ac- complished what her champion half-sister did, but goes out for leading trainer Bill Mott and has run fast enough in the past.

3rd Race: The Weekend Surprise is essentially a glorified allowance and we’ll give the call to AL- LUDE. Darley has won just about everything of late and this daughter of Orientate can continue the trend. GEM SLEUTH should be coming late and might get a solid pace to rally into. FEATH- ERBED could clear off, so I’m hoping someone will soften her up. She figures to be tough, but also should be a major underlay. Had to work too hard to hold on at 7-10 last time for my liking.

4th Race: A useful debut for RETURN TO PAR- ADISE at Belmont should have this gal sitting on go for Pletcher and John Velazquez. Steadied after the start at 6 furlongs, she should love the stretch-out to 8 1/2 furlongs here. As a half-sister to Gritty Sandie, MADAM BLING oozes pedigree and she could be a sharp newcomer. NELLIE TRENT helps make Todd Pletcher a formidable entry; wouldn’t be shocked if they run one-two.

5th Race: Not sure what to make of the Tony Dutrow entry of PREMIUM WINE and PHONE HOME; with Velazquez named on both, it looks like only one will go. We want nothing to do with the short price, so let’s try RUNNING DOG for Scott Schwartz. He has already put one first-time claim in the winner’s circle this meet, so why not another? Should sit a great trip off a hot pace. CALCULATOR middle-moved in his last and then came up short, suggesting he might have needed the effort off a two-month layoff; Rick Schosberg has been live here. PREMIUM WINE has the better post so he should be the one in the starting gate.

6th Race: I’ve been waiting for UNRESTRICTED to finally draw into a race, and he gets his chance to shine. Mom was an absolute monster out west and this guy could be any kind. Tom Albertrani showed last year he knows how to work with a good horse and he meets no monsters. Check out MR. INQUISITIVE’S last race then ask Garrett Gomez how he stayed aboard. Thought he was a big player that day and he has trained well since. MISTER FUSAICHI looks the best of the rest.

7th Race: Not seeing a lot of high-class speed, so DISCO’S SON should be down the road in this spot. Huge win last time out and he can regress and still win. It’s a weird spot for CHATAIN to return to the races. He’s never run less than a mile and now he goes 6 furlongs today . . . think- ing this is a prep for something down the road. ARISTOCRAT might be sharper after getting a race under his belt last time; Ghostzapper’s little brother has won here before.

8th Race: It’s not like I am splitting the atom by telling you NOBIZ LIKE SHOWBIZ is in a great spot here, but he could be a better price than most think. He’s trained beautifully for his turf debut and could benefit from the distance limita- tions second-choice MARCAVELLY might have. The latter is a multiple graded-stakes winner for Bill Mott, who has won this race a record five

In and around Saratoga Race Course, there are plenty of questions to be asked. The Special’s Katherine Sarasohn and Rebecca Walton decided to go find the answers. Over the next few weeks look for them around town and see what people have to say. EQUINE Today’s Question: Why did you decide to come into town instead of going to the races? (Location: Strolling along Broadway)

“We were at the races yesterday. We’ve been coming up for 27 con- secutive years. Saturday we go to the races and Sunday we brunch at the Gideon.” – Melissa Wall and Paul Drimmer, Oxford, CT

“I’m waiting on the chef from Can- tina to get off work so we can go.”

I think the catalogue is pretty well represented by both proven sires and some exciting new stallions. I don’t think there’s anything terribly unusual about it. The lack of a scientific approach would probably shock you. You might end up with 10 of one stallion and four of another, you can’t ever gauge it. We try to find good horses, we try to talk to people ‘Jockey 1’ who have good horses, who raise good horses. Whether there’s four by one stallion and eight of another, there’s very little planning.
