Monomoy Girl Refuses to Be Denied in KY Oaks Cont SATURDAY, MAY 5, 2018 MONOMOY GIRL REFUSES JUSTIFY SET FOR ULTIMATE TEST BENEATH THE TWIN SPIRES By Christie DeBernardis TO BE DENIED IN KY OAKS >TDN Rising Star= Justify (Scat Daddy) has done everything right in his brief career, winning all three of his races in style, including a victory over highly regarded MGISW Bolt d=Oro (Medaglia d=Oro) in the GI Santa Anita Derby Apr. 7. The hulking chestnut has continued to impress the racing world since with dazzling workouts and strong gallops at Churchill Downs. While many have Justify fever, there are plenty of people making the argument against the favorite based on Apollo=s curse, lack of travel, limited experience and good trips. All of the questions will be answered Saturday as Justify lines up as the morning-line favorite for the GI Kentucky Derby. Click here for the TDN Kentucky Derby special edition complete with pros, cons, pedigree analysis and video replays on each of the contenders. Cont. p6 Monomoy Girl | Horsephotos IN TDN EUROPE TODAY The far outside post in a 14-filly field proved to be no problem for Monomoy Girl (Tapizar) Friday evening as she gutted out a THE MAIN ATTRACTION three-quarter-length victory over determined >TDN Rising Star= Mark Johnston sent out Attraction to win the 2004 G1 1000 Wonder Gadot (Medaglia d=Oro). Originally quoted as the 2-1 Guineas, and on Saturday he will look to follow up with her morning-line favorite, GI Ashland S. victress was sent off as the son Elarqam in the colts’ edition. 5-2 second-choice behind California=s best sophomore filly and Click or tap here to go straight to TDN Europe. 2-1 favorite Midnight Bisou (Midnight Lute), a powerful winner of the GI Santa Anita Oaks last time out. Brushing her inside neighbors as she hustled up to establish position from her outside draw, Monomoy Girl ran two-wide in a joint second with stablemate Sassy Siena (Midshipman) as the speedy MGSW Take Charge Paula (Take Charge Indy) took up her preferred position at the head of affairs, clicking off early fractions of :23.48 and :47.70. Monomoy Girl and Sassy Siena drew even with the pacesetter on the backstretch run, but it was only a matter of strides before Monomoy Girl put both of those rivals away and drew clear. However, MGSW Wonder Gadot was just finding her best stride beneath John Velazquez and ranged up three wide to take on Monomoy Girl turning for home. The pair battled stride-for-stride down the lane, exchanging a few bumps in the process, but Monomoy Girl would not be denied and summoned all she had to edge clear of Wonder Gadot in the final strides and take home the lillies. Velazquez lodged an objection into the stretch run, but the results stood as they were. Midnight Bisou ran near the back of the pack most of the way and rallied strongly down the center of the lane to be third.

AIt was unbelievable,@ said winning conditioner Brad Cox, who also saddled sixth-place finisher Sassy Siena and eighth-place Kelly=s Humor (Midnight Lute). AIt worked out just the way we planned. That was the trip we were hoping for. Florent [Geroux] did a great job getting her out of the gate and getting her into position. She was three wide into the first turn. That was kind of what we expected. It all went well. She was able to put herself where she needed to be and kick on down the lane. She did look like she got a little hesitant at the quarter pole and Florent said he had to stay on her. She responded and finished strong down the lane.@ AThis is an unbelievable feeling,@ said jockey Florent Geroux, who scored his first Oaks win Friday. AThe filly was sharp early and I just hustled her out of the gate to get a good position. From there I was pretty confident, but when I hit the quarter pole, her ears were flopping back and forth and she tried putting the brakes on me until she saw Wonder Gadot. When the other filly got head to head, I gave her a few slaps to keep her interested, but she can be quirky. You can get after her too much and she stops. I kept hand riding her and she pulled away at the end.@ Mark Casse, trainer of runner-up Wonder Gadot, said, AThe filly that won ran very game. There was contact and it made our filly switch her leads. I think it was going to be really close, but I think the stewards made the right call. To take a horse down in this type of race, it would have to be pretty significant. As much as I would like to have won, I understand the ruling. I=m very proud of her. She=s definitely a wonder woman.@ As for beaten favorite Midnight Bisou, Hall of Famer Mike Smith said, AThe inside horses made a right turn leaving the gate and ran right into me.

(Tuesday, May 12, 2020) – Horses are back at Churchill Downs and they are ready to run. Saturday’s Opening Day program of the 2020 Spring Meet has an average field size of 11.3 horses for the action-packed 11-race program, which includes the return of champion Monomoy Girl in the featured fourth race, a conditioned allowance event at one-mile on the main track with a purse of $85,000. “It’s been a long time coming but we are thrilled for (Monomoy Girl) to return to the races,” trainer Brad Cox said. “She’s been working great down at Keeneland since late March and we’re looking forward to this first step back.” Owned by Michael Dubb, Monomoy Stables, The Elkstone Group and Bethlehem Stables, Monomoy Girl has been on the sidelines since September after dealing with a minor hamstring pull and a bout of colic. Monomoy Girl capped her brilliant 3-year-old campaign with victories in the 2018 Longines Kentucky Oaks (Grade I) and Breeders’ Cup Distaff (GI). She will be reunited with her regular pilot Florent Geroux for Saturday’s contest from post No. 2. Geroux has been aboard Monomoy Girl for her last three works at Keeneland including a swift five-furlong move in :59.40 last Saturday. First post Saturday is 1 p.m.

  • Wednesday Distaff Notes
    Breeders’ Cup World Championships Friday, Nov. 6 and Saturday, Nov. 7 Longines Distaff Notes Wednesday, Nov. 4, 2020 Contact: Notes Team, 859-250-0358 Ce Ce – Bo Hirsch’s Ce Ce galloped on the main track under Osman Cedeno just after it opened for training at 6 o’clock Wednesday morning as she continued her preparation for a start in Saturday’s $2 million Longines Distaff. Trained by Michael McCarthy, Ce Ce started 2020 with three consecutive victories including Grade 1 scores in the Beholder Mile at Santa Anita and the Apple Blossom at Oaklawn Park. Since then, she has two thirds followed by a fourth sprinting in the Derby City Distaff at Churchill Downs in her most recent start. “It is not her fault,” McCarthy said. “She has had some excuses and there were some errors in judgment on my part. She is doing as well as she ever has.” John Velazquez, who has won the Distaff twice, has the mount Saturday. Dunbar Road – Grade 1 winner Dunbar Road galloped 1m of the Keeneland main track on Wednesday morning, per trainer Chad Brown. The earner of $1,016,040 goes after win number seven in her 11th start Saturday in the Longines Distaff. Fifth of 11 last year in the $2 million fixture, the Peter Brant- owned daughter of Quality Road will be ridden by Jose Ortiz, who has been aboard for five of her six wins. “She didn’t break that well last time (when third in the Beldame),” Ortiz said. “I think the last race looks kind of bad, but it was also a really heavy track.

  • 146Th Running of the Longines Kentucky Oaks Sets Record As Fastest in History As Shedaresthedevil Claims the Lillies
    146th Running of the Longines Kentucky Oaks Sets Record as Fastest in History as Shedaresthedevil Claims the Lillies September 4, 2020 LOUISVILLE, Ky., Sept. 04, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The 146th running of the $1.25 million Longines Kentucky Oaks (Grade I) saw Shedaresthedevil claim the Lillies in the fastest Kentucky Oaks race in history at 1:48.28. Shedaresthedevil crossed the finish line first in a field of nine under sunny skies and fast track conditions. “Congratulations to the connections of Shedaresthedevil and special thanks to all of the horse owners, trainers and jockeys who enthusiastically cooperated through a number of protocol changes this year,” said Kevin Flanery, President of Churchill Downs Racetrack. “We were thrilled to be able to host a virtual Survivors tribute and to continue our charitable partnership with Norton Breast Health Center and Derby Divas.” Shedaresthedevil, owned by Qatar Racing, Flurry Racing Stables and Big Aut Farms and bred in Kentucky by WinStar Farm, LLC, passed ultimate third-place finisher Gamine at the 1/8th pole and held off a late run from runner-up Swiss Skydiver to win the Longines Kentucky Oaks by 1 1/2 lengths at odds of 15-1 in a final time of 1:48.28, the fastest in Kentucky Oaks history. Jockey Florent Geroux and trainer Brad Cox connected for their second Oaks victory, having also shared victory in 2018 with today’s La Troienne victor, Monomoy Girl. Shedaresthedevil is the daughter of Daredevil out of Starship Warpspeed and now has lifetime earnings of over $1.2 million. The Kentucky Oaks Survivors Parade presented by Kroger was celebrated virtually on Kentucky Derby social media channels with a video montage of the 146 survivors’ powerful and uplifting stories.

    Breeders’ Cup World Championships Friday, Nov. 1 and Saturday, Nov. 2 Longines Breeders’ Cup Distaff Notes Wednesday, Oct. 29, 2019 Contact Notes Team: 859-250-0358 Blue Prize – Merriebelle Stable’s Blue Prize galloped 1 3/8m under exercise rider Hiram Rosario Wednesday morning as she continued preparations for a second run in the $2 million Longines Breeders’ Cup Distaff. Trainer Ignacio Correas IV was asked about his confidence level for the 6yo Argentina-bred mare going into this year’s Distaff as opposed to 2018 at Churchill Downs when she finished fourth behind champion Monomoy Girl. “These Grade 1s are always tough and it is the same this year with five, six, seven Grade 1 winners in there,” Correas said. “Last year it was Monomoy Girl and this year it is Midnight Bisou. “You try to be competitive going into these races and I feel very good about my horse. But there are other people that feel good, too; another 10 people.” The Distaff figures to be the last hurrah for Blue Prize with Correas as she is in the Nov. 5 Fasig-Tipton November Sale in Lexington, Kentucky. “She is in the peak of condition,” Correas said. “She has given me three good years.” Dunbar Road – A winner of four of six since her career began in March, Dunbar Road will step up in Saturday’s Distaff for owner Peter Brant and trainer Chad Brown. On Wednesday morning, the Alabama winner left Barn 48 with stablemates Sistercharlie and Bricks and Mortar and proceeded to gallop an easy 1¼m over the main track of Santa Anita Park.

  • Trainer, Brad
    Brad Cox Born: March 30, 1980 Birthplace: Louisville, Kentucky . Residence: Fisherville, Kentucky Family: Sons, Bryson, Blake and Brodie Breeders’ Cup Record: 12-3-0-0 | $3,090,000 • Eclipse Award Winner: Champion 3-Year-Old Filly (Monomoy Girl, 2018 and Covfefe, 2019); Champion 2-Year-Old (British Idiom, 2019). • High-percentage trainer Brad Cox enjoyed a career-best year in 2019 highlighted by victories in the Breeders’ Cup Filly & Mare Sprint (G1) with Covfefe and Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies (G1) with British Idiom. Finished the year ranked fourth in earnings with more than $17.6 million. • Won the 2018 Kentucky Oaks (G1) and Breeders’ Cup Distaff (G1) with Monomoy Girl, his first Breeders’ Cup winner and first champion. The filly, who crossed the wire first in all seven of her 2018 starts, suffered several setbacks in 2019, including a minor bout of colic and missed the entire year, but returned in 2020. She heads into her second Distaff with a perfect three-for- three record. • Cox had his first Breeders’ Cup starter in 2014 when he saddled Carve to a sixth-place finish in the Dirt Mile (G1). Carve became his first graded stakes winner in the Grade 3 Prairie Meadows Cornhusker Handicap earlier that year at Prairie Meadows. • Monomoy Girl gave Cox his first career Grade 1 victory in the Ashland April 7, 2018 at Keeneland. • Earned his second Kentucky Oaks in 2020 with Shedaresthedevil, who pulled the upset over Swiss Skydiver and Gamine at odds of 15-1. The victory capped a huge Labor Day weekend for Cox, who also won the La Troienne Stakes (G1) with Monomoy Girl and the Longines Churchill Downs Turf Distaff Stakes (G2) with Beau Recall (IRE).
