ARROGATE >JUST GETTING BETTER= WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 22, 2017 ARROGATE >JUST >RISING STAR= HAS MOSELEY, WALSH ON THE BRINK OF FURTHER SUCCESS GETTING BETTER= by Ben Massam Patricia Moseley has been around the game of Thoroughbred racing long enough to know that patience pays off. The former chairwoman of Suffolk Downs and widow of influential Massachusetts racing figure James B. Moseley has maintained a homebred racing operation for over 40 years and witnessed the ebb and flow of her stable=s bloodlines across numerous generations. But patience and hard work are often augmented by the rising tide of good fortune, and Moseley=s notable good luck came at the Thoroughbred Retirement Foundation (TRF)=s 2012 fundraising gala in Saratoga Springs, where she placed a winning bid of $22,000 to acquire a stallion season to Ghostzapper.

He just cruised around there,@ Bob Baffert told the TDN Tuesday afternoon. AThey got him a little fast. He went in :59 and four. He broke off with horses in front and behind him. He also had company, so it kept him interested during the whole work, which is good. He was just galloping. He is just getting better. Every time I take him out there, I just see improvement on him. He=s going the right way, so that=s good.@ The Hall of Fame trainer has yet to pick a race for his stable star=s next start. AWe have a lot of options, but we probably won=t know until the beginning of next week maybe,@ Baffert remarked. AThe Juddmonte team has to discuss it.

Guided along by Walsh=s steady training plan, the filly represents the payout for years of perseverance with her damside predecessors. AIt=s a culmination of many generations of a family we had, dating back to Drumtop (Round Table), who Bull Hancock actually got for us,@ Moseley reflected. AIt=s always exciting to see these families come through. Bull bought her, and we actually owned her with Alice Chandler and we went on and bred her...Drumtop has been very good to us.@ In addition to capturing multiple stakes races on the racetrack for the Moseleys in a career that spanned from 1968-1971, Drumtop went on to become a foundation mare for their breeding operation, producing stakes winner Topsider (Northern Dancer) and Aliata (Mr. Prospector)--herself the dam of the useful stallion Storm Boot (Storm Cat) and, of course, Archstone. Moseley said she is hopeful that Proctor=s Ledge may ultimately prove to be the most talented female runner to emerge from the bloodline.

    SUPPLEMENT TO THE RACING CALENDAR MAY 25th 2017 1 ....................................................................................................................................................................................................... ANGLO-IRISH JUMP CLASSIFICATIONS 2016-2017 This is the eighteenth full Anglo-Irish Jump Classification. It classifies the best steeplechasers and hurdlers that were trained in either Britain or Ireland during the 2016-2017 season, or in France if that performance was achieved in Britain or Ireland. It is not a handicap but a retrospective measurement of best sustainable performances during the recent season so there may be differences from current handicap marks. The classifications are for all chasers and hurdlers down to a rating of 140. The steeplechasers are divided into distance categories of 2 miles to 2 miles 2.5 furlongs, 2 miles 3 furlongs to 2 miles 6.5 furlongs and 2 miles 7 furlongs plus. They are included in the list in which the handicappers believe they have put up their best performance. The hurdle categories are similar except that they are divided into two distances of 2 miles to 2 miles 2.5 furlongs and 2 miles 3 furlongs plus. There is a separate classification identifying Novices rated 140 and above. Juvenile Hurdlers are included in the Novice section. Horses trained in Ireland have * appended after their name. Horses trained in France but have a performance at 140+ in Great Britain or Ireland have ** appended after their name. Mares are in italics. The ratings were agreed

  • The Card, She Is Trained by Gordon Elliott
    the Weekend card The Sleeper Section Marten Julian Ifubelieveindreams (2yr Bay Filly) This daughter of Iffraaj missed the break and was a little keen towards the rear of the field on her racecourse debut at Lingfield. She then came back on the bridle and was travelling well on the final turn only to run into trouble and find herself tightened up on the rails. But for that she would have made the first three. From her pedigree and the evidence from this run she will be well suited to a mile. No immediate entries Just Minded (5yr Bay Gelding) 3rd 7/1, 3rd 11/10 Just Minded probably didn’t handle the heavy ground when third to De Dollar Man last time out at Ayr. The son of Kayf Tara won his bumper on good ground and then ran a promising third at Wetherby on ground given as good to soft. All that apart, Just Minded probably came up against a decent horse in the winner and I want us to stay with him for one more run hopefully on better ground. He may be one to keep in mind for the spring, perhaps at Aintree. No immediate entries Molly Carew (5yr Bay Mare) WON 33/1 Judging by the market weakness there did not seem to be much confidence behind Molly Carew when she won at Lingfield but it was evident from an early stage that she was travelling comfortably and going just as well as the long odds-on favourite between the last two. Having seen the way she quickened from the home bend before fading the time before at Plumpton I was very hopeful that she would find enough on the run-in to beat the favourite.

    SUNDAY, 29TH JANUARY 2017 Invincible Spirit EBN EUROPEAN BLOODSTOCK NEWS FOR MORE INFORMATION: TEL: +44 (0) 1638 666512 • FAX: +44 (0) 1638 666516 • [email protected] • WWW.BLOODSTOCKNEWS.EU STAKES RESULTS | NH STAKES RESULTS | INDUSTRY NEWS | STAKES REVIEW TODAY’S HEADLINES NATIONAL HUNT RACING REVIEW TRAGEDY STRIKES AFTER CLOUDS CRACKS THISTLE The Gr.2 Cotswold Chase was billed to be another opportunity for picture courtesy of RACINGFOTOS.COM Thistlecrack (Kayf Tara) to showcase his talents and take more scalps of the chasing world, but it ended in tragedy.
