Lady=s Secret S. cont. As expected, Rachel Alexandra towers over her six rivals in this heat. If anything--and that=s a big Aif@--can cause the overwhelming chalk to falter, it=s an ex- tremely hot pace. Every runner in the field has been on or within one length of the lead early in one of their last two starts, so Calvin Borel will most likely need to rate behind horses. This shouldn=t be a problem for the recent GII Fleur de Lis H. winner--in the GI Mother Goose S. last term, she tracked dueling foes in the Equi-Photo three-horse field before leaving them 19 1/4 lengths back in her wake at the line. The champ also likes the track. She took the 2009 GI Haskell Invitational S. here by six lengths over cham- pion Summer Bird (Birdstone), earning her top Beyer Speed Figure of 116. Queen Martha, who was second in an Oceanport turf allowance in her May 30 stateside debut for Patrick Biancone, appears the most likely to run second. The lightly raced four-year-old has some upside, but must transfer it to the main track. The Lady=s Secret will be streamed live on www.ntra.com.

Fast Start for Single-Horse Syndicate... Start a syndicate, buy a single horse for a modest sum, win impressively on debut at Belmont Park, and jump directly into graded stakes competition at North America=s most prestigious race meet. This game=s a snap, isn=t it? Not exactly, but that=s just how things have worked out so far for Blue- grass Legacy Equine, an upstart racing syndicate that purchased its first and only horse, Commonwealth Rush (Afleet Alex), this spring. A debut winner June 18, Commonwealth Rush makes his stakes unveiling in tomorrow=s GII Sanford S. at Saratoga. The colt is trained by Tim Ice, who saddled Summer Bird (Birdstone) to victory in the 2009 GI Belmont S. ABeing such a minuscule operation, it=s exciting, and it=s a helluva way for us to get started,@ said Dan Kanabroski, co-owner and the manager partner of Blue- grass Legacy. From the second crop of his Classic-winning sire, Commonwealth Rush was knocked down to Bluegrass Legacy for $90,000 at the Fasig-Tipton Calder Juve- niles in Training Sale. BC3 Thoroughbreds, which had acquired the colt for $25,000 as an FTKOCT yearling, consigned him to the Calder Sale, where he worked an eighth in :10 2/5 (video). ATim picked this horse out,@ Kanabroski said. The word was out on Commonwealth Rush when he made his bow as the 8-5 choice in a five-furlong maiden at Belmont, and he lived up to those odds with a gritty effort. He dueled through fast :21 2/5 and :45 splits while pinned to the inside, lost the lead in upper stretch, then battled back to win by a half-length (video). Brother in Arms (Yes It=s True) came flying for second, with the pressing Sunday Splitsville (Grand Slam) tiring to third. The partners in Bluegrass Legacy were impressed enough by the effort to give the Sanford at shot. Cont. p9

AHow many two-year-olds can get trapped down inside and get bounced around like he did--the Pletcher horse [Sunday Splitsville] bounced off of him four times--then lose the lead, and have the guts and heart to fight back and win?@ asked Kanabroski. AI=m more impressed that he had the heart to do that than I would be if he won by 11 lengths and Commonwealth Rush wasn=t pressed. He=s got Adam Coglianese the fight in him. There were more impressive maiden times at Belmont this year and more impressive performances visually, but we know we=re going into the Sanford with a fighter.@ While he was born and raised in Kentucky, Kanabroski didn=t really learn to love the sport of horse racing until he attended the University of Kentucky in Lexington. Now 36, Kanabroski, who has worked in the technology and IT fields, currently calls Louisville home. AAs you know, it=s part of the culture down there,@ Kanabroski said. ACertainly in Lexington, and in Louis- ville, as well. I was introduced to the industry as a college student, and once it gets in your blood, it=s tough to get out.@ Bluegrass Legacy was conceived in 2008, but it was- www.winstarfarm.com n=t until this spring that the operation went in for its first horse. Kanabroski says the idea was to start small and build from the successes.

Shipped to Dutrow following a second in his GI Hollywood Gold Cup defense for trainer Ron Ellis, the five- year-old has been jogging for the most part at the upstate oval. The GI Woodward S. at Saratoga Sept. 4 and the GI Jockey Club Gold Cup at Belmont Oct. 2 had both been mentioned as possible targets. AWhen he's ready I'll know, but Rail Trip now he's not ready," Dutrow EquiSport told Daily Racing Form. "We think there's something going on behind.
