GARY BUSH'S SLICE OF HEAVEN AGUIAR MAKES HIS by Chris McGrath CASE AT OBS MARCH People making their way, horses making their way; you never know how they're going to end up. Spend any time with someone who has earned his stripes in this business, and you're only ever a step or two away from champions. When Animal Kingdom turned out to be, well, Animal Kingdom, and everyone started asking Gary Bush what he had been like to foal and raise, the Denali Stud manager didn't quite know what to say. "I remember thinking I've got to go back to the office and see what I wrote about this guy," he said. "You know, he wasn't anything special. But he never did anything wrong. All the parts were there; he was big, strong, couldn't fault him in any way; he just did his own thing. He was just one of the other boys out there." Cont. p4

AThe one that I=m most excited about is the Bodemeister colt,@ said Aguiar, who added that the Trappe Shot colt has been scratched to await the OBS April Sale.

He has plenty of class and has been breezing really well.@ Aguiar=s path to horse ownership, and, believe it or not, marriage, both began with some luck on the First Saturday in May. After cashing in on the Animal Kingdom over Nehro exacta (paid $329.80) in the 2011 GI Kentucky Derby, the graduate of Murray State University and the University of Louisville Brandeis School of Law purchased an engagement ring for his wife Janelle and also began investing in racehorses with Pocket Aces Racing. He immediately hit it off with the syndicate=s trainer Steve Margolis and decided to launch his own stable a couple of years later. AI went over to the backside one day at Churchill and was like, >Man, this is cool!= I kind of started drinking the Kool-Aid,@ Aguiar said with a laugh. AWithin a couple of months of me probably bugging Steve too much, he picked us out a Dialed In Louisiana- bred for $50,000 at the [2016] OBS June 2-Year-Old Sale. My wife said, >Oh good, you got me a horse.= And she was cool with us getting more at the Keeneland yearling sales that year, too.

Coakley has been too long engaged at the wrong end of the COAKLEY=S WINTER numbers game in Britain to deceive himself that this faraway, midwinter coup might achieve a corresponding transformation WARMED BY COMBAT in his own profile. His cheeks ruddy with the cold, the Irishman leads the way into a cramped office and looks ahead to his 20th season with neither illusion nor resentment. "My owners are loyal, they stick with me," he says. "But I've only got 22 horses and it's hard to get any more. If people do show an interest it's usually for me to do a deal.

I just try and do the best I can with the horses I've got. The only thing that upsets me is if I haven't done something right; if I've missed an opportunity." Coakley has never been the type to cold-call millionaires, and few of those would otherwise seem likely to register such opportunities as he does take. Cont. p2

Click or tap here to go straight to TDN America. "You can't take him out even when it's raining," he says. "I know the horse now: he's got ability, it's just a case of keeping him happy. So if he doesn't want to go out, he doesn't have to. And he doesn't like the cold. That's why he loves Dubai. If he were here, he'd be standing in his box doing nothing. Now he's $100,000 richer and, because he's still out there for another week, he's having a holiday." Hors De Combat (GB) (Mount Nelson {GB}) has certainly earned his vacation. In fact, the handicap he won at Meydan a couple of weeks ago, added to a third prize on his previous start there, matched the entire domestic earnings of Coakley's string in 2017. As such, he represents the perfect poster boy for the Dubai International Carnival. With different shades of Maktoum blue to the fore in so many races, the hospitality plainly stops once the gates open. But the Carnival hosts want to give horsemen at every level the opportunity, if matching the aptitude of even a single horse with sufficient enterprise, for a payday that can--in a case such as this--make a mighty difference to the year's arithmetic.

His latest discovery is Electric Landlady (Ire) (Red Jazz), who BECAUSE EVERYONE WANTS SHARP, cost 7,000gns at the Tattersalls December Sale and won two of her four starts last season.

He bolted up in two of his first three starts, finished second in a listed race in Germany and was sold to Hong Kong. "I have two homebreds this year but normally I have to go and buy yearlings myself, and hopefully sell them on," he says. "So I can't be paying too much for them. You have to decide what you can cross off. Most times, it'll have to be pedigree. Fillies are probably cheaper as well. And because everyone wants sharp, precocious 2-year-olds, you have to try and find a nice individual you just think will be okay and stay sound. Not too backward, though.
