Lookin' at a Deserved Change of Luck SATURDAY, JUNE 2, 2018 LOOKIN' AT A DESERVED UNIQUE BELLA & PARADISE WOODS MEET AGAIN IN BEHOLDER MILE By Christie DeBernardis CHANGE OF LUCK Champion Unique Bella (Tapit) bested MGISW Paradise Woods (Union Rags) by three-quarters of a length the first time they faced each other in the Dec. 26 GI La Brea S. at Santa Anita and the >TDN Rising Stars= meet again in Arcadia Saturday in the GI Beholder Mile. Unique Bella dominated the 3-year-old filly division in California last winter, romping in the GII Santa Ynez S., GII Las Virgenes S. and GIII Santa Ysabel S., after which she was sidelined for seven months. Returning a winner in the GIII L.A. Woman S. in October, she finished a disappointing seventh as the favorite in the GI Breeders= Cup F/M Sprint, but rebounded with a win in the La Brea to earn the Eclipse as the top female sprinter of 2017.

Fred W. trainer Aidan O’Brien and son Donnacha. Hooper, Georgia farm boy, was born in 1897; and died, Click or tap here to go straight to TDN Europe. construction tycoon and member of the Jockey Club, at age 102 in 2000. In his youth, he tried his hand as a barber, prizefighter, schoolteacher, riveter and carpenter. He was getting somewhere as a potato farmer, until a blight wiped him out. Then he put together a labor crew, on borrowed money, to lay some road bases. In the process, he laid the foundation to a fortune made in highways, dams, bridges and airports. One of Hooper's earliest experiments, aged just 14, had been to bring mustangs from Montana to Georgia. He lassoed them in the wild, they kicked him with their forelegs--but he broke them one by one. That touch with a horse revived when, with his growing wealth, he started raising cattle on a 5,000-acre tract of Alabama. He had a half-bred so agile, in turning the cows, that they started running him in matches over half a mile. Touring the south-eastern fair circuit, he won 49 times in 55 starts. In 1943, Hooper decided to go into Thoroughbreds. He went to Keeneland, and bought a Sir Gallahad colt for $10,200. Not a lot of flesh to him, as Hooper recalled, but a good walk and a smart eye. Named Hoop, Jr., he won the GI Kentucky Derby by six lengths.

But to win the Kentucky Derby with your very first Thoroughbred has inevitably been celebrated as the ultimate example of beginner's luck. As such, you could hardly seek a better counterfoil for Lookin At Lucky (Smart Strike) than Hooper--whose legacy, on the turf, was refreshed by the slow-burning Ashford sire's breakout afternoon last weekend. In March, Accelerate (Lookin At Lucky) had finally ended his sire's maddening wait for a first U.S. Grade I winner when winning the Big 'Cap by 5 1/2 lengths. On Saturday, Accelerate confirmed his graduation into the elite by winning the GI Gold Cup at Santa Anita, again by daylight. And his sire not only completed the exacta with Dr. Dorr, but also produced Money Multiplier, who won the GII Monmouth S. the same afternoon. Accelerate, at age five, belongs to Lookin At Lucky's second crop; Money Multiplier, age six, to his first. The latter had previously contributed to their sire's serial near-misses at the highest level--crowned, last year, when Lookin At Lee finished second in the Kentucky Derby itself--as runner-up in four Grade I races. As a May 10 foal by a sire born May 27, it is hardly surprising that Accelerate should give increasing credence to the theory that Lookin At Lucky--much like his sire, Smart Strike (Mr Prospector); and indeed his sire's outstanding son, Curlin--might reward more patience and perseverance than invited by his record, whether as a champion juvenile himself or as a prolific 2-year-old sire. Actually, setting aside his celebrated instant dividends with Hoop, Jr., it feels apt that Hooper should loom benignly over both sides of Accelerate's pedigree. For both in his own, self-made career, and in the sheer span of his years, Hooper testified to the virtues of the long haul. Cont. p4 TDN HEADLINE NEWS • PAGE 4 OF 10 • THETDN.COM SATURDAY • JUNE 2, 2018 Lookin= at a Deserved Change of Luck cont. Accelerate | Benoit As it happens, after developing her family, Hooper allowed the mare who holds together Accelerate's family tree to slip through his grasp. Smartaire (Quibu {Arg}) was claimed as a 3-year-old, for just $5,000; and was sold seven years later at a Keeneland breeding stock sale in 1972 to Jim Ryan's Ryehill Farm for $36,000. The Ryans had seen that she was bred just like the mother of Hooper's Hall of Fame distaffer Susan's Girl (Quadrangle), winner of three championships over five seasons, whose first two dams were by Hooper's stallions Quibu and Olympia. (The latter had become a cornerstone of Hooper's stud, and the toast of all Thoroughbred breeders, after beating a brilliant Quarter Horse named Stella Moore in a two-furlong match race in 1949.) Smartaire--by Quibu out of an Olympia mare--became Broodmare of the Year in 1979 after consecutive foals Smart Angle (Quadrangle) and Smarten (Cyane) were champion juvenile filly and runner-up in the GI Travers S. (also a triple Grade II winner, 15 times on the board at three), respectively. Smarten, a perennial leading sire in Maryland, proceeded to make an enduring mark on the breed through the champion Canadian runner and producer Classy 'n Smart, dam of Lookin At Lucky's sire Smart Strike. In 1981, the Ryans sent their outstanding mare to Alydar, and she delivered a daughter named Smart Darlin. She would be sold to Japan at the Ryehill dispersal in 1988, but not before producing Darlin Lindy (Cox's Ridge). This filly won six times before becoming dam of Wagon Limit (Conquistador Cielo), who shocked Gentlemen and Skip Away in the GI Jockey Club Gold Cup--and grand-dam of Accelerate's mother Issues (Awesome Again). Issues is proving a useful producer, her two GSP foals by Scat Daddy, including GI Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf third Daddy D T.

WEST COAST Flatter – Caressing by Honour and Glory 2014 Bay l 16.2 Hands “An Eclipse Award winning champion, West Coast is by an outstanding sire son of A.P. Indy, out of a ChampionTwo-Year-Old Filly. West Coast earned a title as Champion Three-Year-Old Colt with five consecutive victories, four in stakes events, and ran 1-2-3 in six consecutive grade one events, including when capturing the Travers Stakes (G1) and Pennsylvania Derby (G1). He is by Flatter, a leading stallion son of A.P. Indy, and sire of more than 50 stakes winners, and out of Caressing, Champion and Breeders’ Cup (G1) winner at two.“ The offspring of West Coast will be free of Northern Dancer at four generations on their sire’s side, and Flatter has crossed well with a wide variety of broodmare sires from that line. The cross with mares from the Danzig branch of Northern Dancer has been particulary productive with seven stakes winners, including graded stakes winners Classic Point and Mad Flatter out of mares by Langfuhr and Honor Grades (who gives inbreeding to the dam of A.P. Indy), and there are also stakes winners out of mares by War Front – who appears particularly interesting here, giving inbreeding to Relaunch and a full-sister – Danzig Connection, Ghazi and Military (who would be intriguing here).
