As much as the odds of being struck by a bolt from the sky are about 500,000-1, Liberto has probably exceeded those odds lately during his involvement as an owner of Thoroughbred racehorses. Consider the odds of this: You have a small stable of between zero and three horses for

Capo Kane was first spotted by Como as part of the Paul Sharp consignment at the 2020 Fasig- Tipton Midlantic 2-Year-Olds in Training Sale. Como approached Liberto about buying him in a 50-50 partnership. Liberto said thanks, but no thanks. "I told Anthony I had enough horses," Liberto said. As it turned out, fortunately for Liberto, Como continued to push Liberto to join him and the New Jersey resident finally agreed. A winning $26,000 bid later, they had a colt who was sent to trainer Harold Wyner at Parx Racing and broke his maiden Nov. 25 at Parx by 4 1/2 lengths at one mile and 70 yards. In his next start, he romped in

front-running fashion in the Jerome to ignite Kentucky LEONARD LIBERTO COURTESY Derby dreams that could be fanned even higher in the Withers. It’s nice when you can spend $1 million "Horse racing can be like a chess match," Liberto or $3 million on a horse and try to get to the said. "You sometimes have to know your next two moves Kentucky Derby, but it doesn’t happen every in advance. We could have shipped to Florida because day with a $26,000 horse. You never know the weather is so much better, but we both wanted to what can happen in this game.

thinks it's an easy path going through New York, but, hey, I'll take any path. The path of least resistance works for me to get to the Kentucky Derby. If it means shipping to California or Louisiana, we'll do it. Right now it's the Withers for us, but we have a long way to go even though the Kentucky Derby isn't that far away." In Wyner's eyes, Capo Kane is coming into the Withers on edge for another strong effort. "The Jerome didn't seem to take anything out of him. He went right back on his feed, and he seems fresh and ready," said Wyner, who, like Como and Liberto, will try to notch his first graded stakes win Saturday. "He's gotten stronger and stronger.

I was very confident going into the race, but I didn't expect him to win by 6 1/4 lengths like he did. The two turns Saturday won't bother him. He's bred for it with Street Sense and a Hard Spun mare (Twirl Me)." In tackling graded stakes company for the first time, Team Capo Kane will find themselves up against a higher level of competition, the likes of which they will not find at Parx on a regular basis. Their $26,000 colt will be facing rivals priced at $1 million and $240,000 from owners such as Coolmore and Klaravich Stables and trainers Todd Pletcher and Chad Brown, who have combined for 11 Eclipse Awards. The price on the toteboard will say Capo Kane has a big shot, but his connections are surely the little guys in the grade 3 stakes worth 10-4-2-1 Kentucky Derby points to the top four finishers. "It's nice when you can spend $1 million or $3 million on a horse and try to get to the Kentucky Derby, but it doesn't happen every day with a $26,000 horse," Liberto said. "You never know what can happen in this game. It's all about a horse having a heart to perform." Being the little guys, Liberto and Como also find themselves in the position of fielding numerous calls from people interested in buying a stake in Capo Kane, including some from California where the colt was bred. Liberto understands the dynamics of what is taking place and says for now, there is not a "For Sale" sticker on Capo Kane. "You get calls from people looking to get involved. They'll give you 'X' amount of dollars for 'X' amount in the horse, but my partner and I, I can't say we don't need the money, but I look at it this way: There are people who have nice horses like this one who they wouldn't even think about calling and asking if they want to sell because they know those guys have deep pockets. They always call the guys they think will sell, but right now my partner and I are not willing to sell.

"We're holding out for the bigger money," he added with a laugh. Ironically, Liberto sold his share of Ny Traffic before the career of the New York-bred son of Cross Traffic took off. Ny Traffic, now a 4-year-old, was also acquired at the Midlantic sale, when John Fanelli asked Liberto in 2019 to join him in buying the gray colt. Liberto, as he did with Capo Kane, declined at first but finally gave in and entered in a 50-50 deal with him. Though Ny Traffic did not attain his reserve when the hammer fell for $27,000, Liberto says Fanelli worked out a deal to buy the 2-year-old for $22,000. Capo Kane also had a RNA in his history as he failed to sell at the 2020 OBS March Sale of 2-Year- Olds in Training for $87,000. "I don't know if buying a RNA is the secret to success, but it's certainly the cheaper way," said Liberto, who has 486 starts and 77 wins for earnings of $1.3 million with horses under his own name. Sent to Wyner, Ny Traffic won his second start and about a month later, he was fifth in the Notebook Stakes for 2-year-old New York-breds at Aqueduct. When plans for the winter were discussed, Fanelli wanted to send him to his trainer in Florida, Saffie Joseph Jr. Liberto understood the logic, but wanted to race in the Northeast so he sold his 50% share to Fanelli, who brought in new partners. With Joseph, Ny Traffic was second in the TVG. com Haskell Stakes (G1) to Kentucky Derby winner and Horse of the Year Authentic and also second in the Twinspires.com Louisiana Derby (G2) and eighth in the Run for the Roses while earning $494,900 as a 3-year-old. Liberto has never regretted selling Ny Traffic. "I rooted for Ny Traffic every time he ran after the sale," Liberto said. "I was his biggest fan."

(continued from page 14)

In its suit, CDTIC said reducing its rate to 4.1% would result in the loss of millions of dollars for the company. It said arbitration cannot be invoked in this manner against the company. "Moreover, Churchill Downs Technology never agreed to this arbitration scheme; it has been unilaterally imposed by statute which forces Churchill Downs Technology to choose between three fundamentally unfair options: accepting the lower rate proposed by TOC, abandoning its hub agreement with Santa Anita Park, or proceeding to arbitration," the suit reads. "In other words, Churchill Downs Technology has to abandon the millions of dollars it invested in its business in California and the rights it has under contract, or it has to proceed to a standard-less, but binding, arbitration. This violates due process clauses of the United States and California constitutions." The Churchill company's lawsuit asks the court to declare the TOC's request as invalid and unenforceable. California purses receive no money from added gaming, meaning they completely depend on pari- mutuel wagering for funding. Last month the TOC, Del Mar, Santa Anita, Golden Gate Fields owner The Stronach Group, and ADW operator TVG announced an agreement that will "inject up to $15 million into California purses in 2021 and 2022." The agreement announced in January, which didn't include Churchill's ADWs, is projected to pump about $15 million in purse money for California Thoroughbred tracks in 2021 and 2022. Churchill Downs Inc. officials declined to comment. BH s Share this story

he Jockey Club of Saudi Arabia, amid new uncer- Ttainty about travel, has announced a likely field for the $20 million Saudi Cup on Feb. 20 that would pit American runners Charlatan, Knicks Go, and others against solid international competition. The eventual shape of the fields for the Saudi Cup itself and its attendant races could shift as a result of the ongoing battle against the COVID-19 pandemic. The Feb. 4 announcement came just two days after the Saudi government imposed sweeping new travel restrictions that prohibit visitors to the Kingdom from 20 countries, including the United States and the United Kingdom. COGLIANESE PHOTOS Tom Ryan, the Jockey Club's director of strategy and international racing, nonetheless sounded a positive note in outlining the potential runners. "The entire team are working incredibly hard to deliver a world-class event where the health and safety of all participants is paramount," Ryan said. "It has obviously been a difficult year for everyone, and we are glad that we are able to put on this meeting for racing fans all over the world to enjoy." If all the expected runners show up, the programs on Feb. 19 and Feb. 20 at King Abdulaziz Racecourse will include 77 overseas contenders from 13 countries with 24 group 1 or grade 1 wins among them. The Saudi Cup itself is expecting a heavy U.S.
