Horsephotos IN TDN EUROPE TODAY EGAN FORGES AMERICAN ALLIANCE John Egan of Alliance Bloodstock will offer several American- The Week in Review, by Bill Finley sired 2-year-olds at the upcoming Tattersalls Craven Sale. In the end, and after all the meetings, discussions and rancor, Emma Berry has the scoop. Click or tap here to go straight Lasix has in fact been banned at Santa Anita. Sort of, that is. to TDN Europe. Neither side, the horsemen nor The Stronach Group (TSG) got exactly what they wanted when a final agreement between the two groups was announced Saturday concerning the use of Lasix. TSG wanted an immediate ban on all race-day medications and the horsemen did not want to lose Lasix. Period. To the credit of both sides, they reached a compromise that called for the maximum amount of Lasix allowed to be halved from 10 cc to 5 and, starting with the crop of 2018, those horses and all future crops, will not be able to race with Lasix. There is a "grandfather clause" that will allow current Lasix users to continue to use the medication throughout the rest of their careers. So, it's going to take some time, but by 2024 or so, racing at Santa Anita will, basically, be completely Lasix-free. No matter which side of the you are on, all should agree that the new Santa Anita rules will finally give the sport the answer it has been looking for ever since the drug arrived on the scene in the seventies: does racing need Lasix or not?

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR This has been a strange week. What started as enthusiasm when I heard that California was considering taking a more aggressive approach against medication ended with a chaotic situation where nobody really knew what was going on. While I admire the efforts to limit medicating race horses in California, the way it is being handled is quite disturbing, including investigations by the state attorney=s office into the trainers who had horses fatally injured on the track. The affiliation with PETA, an organization who have clearly stated that their ultimate goal is to eliminate horse racing, is equally as troubling. California's problems are our problems and we all should be extremely concerned. We constantly hurt ourselves as an industry not being well represented by a group spokesperson or, even better, a governing body who can guide us through these difficult situations and bring some kind of national stability to our industry. While it is admirable that we are running for fantastic purses in most jurisdictions, little has changed with regards to the monitoring of horses that are entered to race and the veterinarians who are treating horses throughout the day. The sensitivity of the testing procedures continues to improve, a good thing, but not enough is done to improve the environment where our samples are handled and the stables that we ship our horses into on race day are often in less than desirable condition and by no means a sterile environment. Hopefully this will also be addressed by the powers that be in California and in turn give other jurisdictions an example to follow. If we want to defend ourselves against the critics and justify our sport, we need to shape up and not turn a blind eye to today=s problems because the reins are slipping through our hands.

Success begets success, as the saying goes, and as sires such as War Front and Speightstown have demonstrated their versatility for producing runners who are effective on both turf and dirt, so the clamour for American stock has grown. Both the above-named proven stallions feature in the draft of six horses to be offered by Newmarket-based Alliance Bloodstock at the Tattersalls Craven Sale this April. But it's likely that the 2-year-old who will garner the most attention among the sextet is the colt catalogued as lot 29, a masculine chestnut son of American Pharoah and the unraced Storm Cat mare Wile Cat. The half-brother to the G3 Sirenia S. winner and G2 Queen Mary S. runner-up Shumoos (Distorted Humor) is the sole colt from the first crop of the Triple Crown winner in the Craven catalogue and, since being bought from Keeneland's September Sale for $375,000, has been preparing for his next sale appearance not much more than a stone's throw from where he will be asked to post his first professional blast down a racecourse.

If they are eating well and they have got the right mindset, with SNOWDENS READY TO TAKE some ability of course, they can go all the way. "There are a few horses you wouldn=t be able to do that to, ON GODOLPHIN ARMY but he is one horse who can handle it." Snowden confirmed Mark Zahra will take the ride aboard Cosmic Force with James McDonald committed to Godolphin filly Tenley (Medaglia D'Oro {USA}). Catch Me (I Am Invincible) looked a leading Golden Slipper hope when she won the G3 Gimcrack S. back in September and then resumed with a win in the G3 Blue Diamond Preview in January. Her subsequent two runs, however, have been below par, including a last-start 10th in the G1 Blue Diamond S. where she over-raced in the blinkers. Snowden trialled her successfully without the blinkers at Randwick last Thursday and he is hopeful she has turned the corner ahead of the Golden Slipper. "I just wanted to get her back home and strip all the gear off her and get her back into her old routine and she looks very good. Her work has been great. She's relaxed really well up here," he said. "The trial was pretty good, she was a bit keen in patches and the trial pace worked against her but when she got Cosmic Force | Bronwen Healy clear in the straight she found the line strongly, that customary turn of foot that we are used to seeing with her. "It=s going to be a huge job to bring her around from where by Bren O'Brien she has come from, but she certainly has the ability to do it if He may not match his former employer Godolphin in terms of things fall right on the day." numbers, but Peter Snowden is full of confidence in the three, Snowden's third confirmed starter is Anaheed (Fastnet Rock), and possible four-pronged attack he and his son Paul will take who like Catch Me, endured a tough time of it in , but into next week's G1 Golden Slipper S. at Rosehill.

But Snowden, who worked as head trainer for the then Darley operation for six years until 2013, also has a strong hand as he searches for his third success in the race, having won with Sepoy (Elusive Quality {USA}) in 2011 and Capitalist (Written Tycoon) in 2016. Cosmic Force (Deep Field) put himself into this year's edition of the famous race with a huge 7.3l win in Saturday's G3 Pago Pago S. on a heavy track. Reflecting on that win, Snowden said that Cosmic Force had the right form and attitude to back-up his performance in seven days in the Group 1 feature. "He's just a horse that has had the right type of prep. He's only lightly raced, he's had three runs now (this time in), with each run better than the one before," Snowden told RSN. "The horse himself keeps getting better. He's eating really well and he's got a great laid-back attitude. That's two ingredients for 2-year olds.
