BUBBLER: A STRANGE TRIP McCRAKEN DRAWS TWO IN INTRIGUING BLUE GRASS TO STARDOM McCraken (Ghostzapper), the narrow 5.90-1 favorite in the final GI Derby future wager that closed Sunday, faces six formidable foes in Saturday=s $1-million GII Blue Grass S. at .

Tuesday. Click or tap here to go straight to TDN Europe. Bubbler (Distorted Humor) is the dam of Arrogate (=s Song). Well-bred herself and, as it later turned out, a talented race horse, she should have been on the fast track to the racetrack. Instead, she was caught in limbo as a partnership was dissolving and one of her owners was so focused on his legal problems that he lost track of the horse. The one who caught the mistake was Jerry Szczepanski. He owned a small group of horses with another individual who got caught up in a serious jam involving legal and financial problems. Explaining that he wants to distance himself from the individual as much as possible, Szczepanski will not divulge the partner=s name, but it was his job to handle their horses= affairs until they were ready for the racetrack. Then, Szczepanski would take over, managing their racing careers. Because of the ongoing situation with the one partner, it was decided that the two would get out of the business and all their horses would be sold. That=s what Szczepanski assumed had happened when he realized there was a horse who was unaccounted for, Bubbler.

A Strange Trip to Stardom, cont. AOne good friend of mine was into breeding and pinhooking and he went out to Lone Star Park to look at Bubbler and told me she didn=t have much value as a broodmare because she was so small,@ Szczepanski said. AHe said if I ever told a reporter his name he would kill me.@ Bubbler was sold for $170,000 at the 2010 Fasig-Tipton November Sale to Clearsky Farm. They bred her to Unbridled=s Song and the result was Arrogate. It=s hard to say what Bubbler is now worth, but Clearsky put her through the ring at the 2016 Fasig-Tipton November Sale, where she was bid up to $4.7 million, but came back home after not meeting her reserve. AI have no regrets that I sold her for $170,000,@ Szczepanski said. AThat=s not at all bad for a horse we had lost.@ Bubbler wasn=t Szczepanski=s only brush with a good horse or his only strange story in a business where strange can be the norm. In 1993, he and his partner were at the Keeneland September sale just to socialize. They owned no horses at the time, but were captivated by what was going on around them. They knew almost nothing about yearlings, had consulted with no one and done no homework. Suddenly, an idea hit them-- let=s buy a horse. Sight unseen and pretty much at random, they picked out a yearling colt and paid $150,000 for him. The horse turned out to be Gadzook (Meadowlake), who won the 1995 Tampa Bay Derby. AAfter Gadzook, we thought this was really easy,@ he said. ASo we went out and bought a bunch more horses. Most of them never even got to the track.@ After selling Bubbler, Szczepanski wasn=t quite done. Calhoun let him know that Bubbler=s first foal was in the catalogue at the 2014 Keeneland September Sale. He was interested in purchasing the colt, who was, of course, Arrogate, and had him inspected and scoped. He told Calhoun to bid no more than $250,000. Arrogate was purchased for $560,000 by Juddmonte Farms. Had Szczepanski played his hand differently, he might still own Bubbler and had he been more aggressive at the sales, he could have bought Arrogate. He says his golfing buddies tease him unmercifully about his poor decisions. But he=s fine with the way things turn out. AI don=t believe in second guessing myself,@ he said. AI=m out of the sport now, but I still really enjoy it. And I=m thrilled to death that Arrogate has become such a big star. Every race, I root for him as much and as hard as anyone. Arrogate is a great story and he represents the dream that keeps so many people going in this sport. You go to the yearling sales and you never know what is going to happen. These people went to Keeneland and they came home with one of the greatest horses that ever lived.@ TDN HEADLINE NEWS • PAGE 5 OF 10 • THETDN.COM WEDNESDAY • APRIL 5, 2017

WHO=S THE GREATEST? In the wake of Arrogate=s terrific run in the Mar. 25 G1 Dubai World Cup there was a good deal of chat in the press and on social media to the effect Awho=s the greatest? Arrogate or Frankel--or other?@ While Arrogate is a superstar, there is always an inclination to get carried away with the most recent great performance, which we naturally remember most vividly.

Frankel | Racing Post Nonetheless, (usually) the clock don=t lie. It=s always important to distinguish between the use of speed figures and speed ratings (enhanced versions of >time=) for which the purpose is to predict the winner of a particular race, or for their use in an historical context. It=s easy to confuse the two, which is one reason why gamblers often have a different definition, or certainly, application of speed figures than do analysts like ourselves, for whom their principal application is historical. We=ve looked at three speed figure ratings here: the >Official Rating= (OR), which is what the racing authorities use; Racing Post Ratings (RPR); and ratings. They all tell the same story: Frankel was the greatest, and it=s about a three-way dead-heat for second. Using Official Ratings, Frankel was assigned 140, Sea The Stars 135, and American Pharoah and Arrogate 134 each. Using RPR=s, Frankel was rated 143, with Sea The Stars and American Pharoah 138, and Arrogate 136. Using Timeform ratings, Frankel is rated the best of all time at 147; Sea The Stars (140) one of 12 other horses in 70 years rated 140+ (though Timeform did not rate US horses until the early 80=s, after and the other two Triple Crown winners in the 1970=s, and ); Arrogate is now rated 141 after Dubai; and American Pharoah 138. Cont. p6 TDN HEADLINE NEWS • PAGE 6 OF 10 • THETDN.COM WEDNESDAY • APRIL 5, 2017

Oppenheim, cont. So, it=s unofficial: Frankel really was the greatest, but it=s not so bad to be one of the other superstars , with ratings averaging around 138.

WHO'S THE GREATEST: FOUR SUPERSTAR COLTS SINCE 2009

Foaled Horse OR RPR Timeform 2006 SEA THE STARS 135 138 140 2008 FRANKEL 140 143 147 2012 AMERICAN PHAROAH 134 138 138 2013 ARROGATE 134 136 141

Incidentally there are mutterings that maybe American Pharoah doesn=t deserve to be included in this group as he was >only= a Triple Crown winner, which means you can possibly beat up on inferior 3-year-olds. But of course that wasn=t the whole story of American Pharoah: Baffert brought him back off his GI Travers S. loss and a two-month layoff to pulverize the field in the GI Breeders= Cup Classic, including 4-year-olds Honor Code and and fellow 3-year-old . He ran a Beyer Speed Figure of 120 that day; Arrogate ran 122 in the Travers, 120 in the Breeders= Cup Classic, 119 in the GI Pegasus World Cup, and 115 in the Dubai World Cup, with that big trouble line. So yes, he=s run 119+ more times than American Pharoah, but let=s make sure our memories aren=t too short: Arrogate is great, but Frankel was the greatest. California Chrome was right there in the high 130=s last year as a 5-year-old as well.

SECOND CROP SIRES: WEEKLY UPDATE Winchell = David Fiske tweeted even before I could that the first three in last Saturday=s GI Xpressbet Florida Derby were all from the first crops of their now second-crop sires. WinStar=s Bodemeister () has been a horse a lot of people have been betting on, and now we know why: Always Dreaming scored a commanding five-length win at Gulfstream (Beyer 97), and finished the weekend as the 6-1 second favorite to McCraken (Ghostzapper) in the latest Derby Ante-Post betting. Always Dreaming=s win propelled Bodemeister to second place behind Darby Dan=s Shackleford (Forestry) on the 2017 Year-to-Date North American second-crop sire list (click here), and to third on the cumulative North American second-crop list (click here), behind Darby Dan=s other young star, Dialed In (Mineshaft) and Lane=s End=s (Dixie Union), who of course were one-two on the 2016 Freshman Sire List. Cont. p7 TDN HEADLINE NEWS • PAGE 7 OF 10 • THETDN.COM WEDNESDAY • APRIL 5, 2017

Oppenheim, cont. State of Honor, from the first crop by Gainesway=s To Honor And Serve (Bernardini), had previously finished third to McCraken in the GIII Sam F. Davis and second to Tapwrit (Tapit) in the GII Lambholm South Tampa Bay Derby, and now he=s been second to Always Dreaming in the GI Florida Derby; the form book says he won=t win the GI , but he=s sure a good advertisement for the sire--he=s shirked no battles, that=s for sure. Gunnevera, Dialed In=s flagbearer who won the GII Xpressbet Fountain of Youth S., was third last Saturday to complete the 1-2-3 for second-crop sires.

Bodemeister | WinStar

So this week the year-to-date North American second-crop list reads: Shackleford, Bodemeister, Dialed In, Ashford=s Stay Thirsty (Bernardini), who is the leading NA second-crop sire by 2017 winners with 21, and To Honor And Serve, who does have five Black-Type Horses this year (as now does Bodemeister), moves up to fifth (excluding Hansen, as discussed last week). Hill >n= Dale=s Maclean=s Music (Distorted Humor) is in sixth. His filly Wicked Luck ran second to Farrell (Malibu Moon) in the GII Fair Grounds Oaks to become his second Graded Stakes Horse (GSH) of the year. His first is a colt named Cloud Computing, who ran a bang-up second to J Boys Echo (Mineshaft) in the GIII Gotham S. in only his second start. Owned by Klaravich and Lawrence and trained by Chad Brown, the same connections which have GII Fountain of Youth S. second Practical Joke (Into Mischief) aiming at the GII Toyota Blue Grass S. Saturday, Cloud Computing looks capable of winning this weekend=s GII Wood Memorial, which would make Maclean=s Music=s $8,500 stud fee for 2017 look dirt cheap. Union Rags moves up to seventh with two Grade II seconds: the filly Tequilita was second to Salty (Quality Road) in the GII Oaks; and Patch, jumping straight out of maiden company in just his third lifetime start, ran second to Girvin (Tale of Ekati) in the GII Louisiana Derby. The top seven (plus Hansen) now have 2017 progeny earnings of $670,000+. Cont. p8 THE PERFECT TRIP

Oppenheim, cont. As for the Derby itself, we=ll know a lot more after this weekend=s three major preps: the Blue Grass, Wood Memorial, and GI Santa Anita Derby. The Blue Grass, now run on Keeneland=s opening weekend, and of course back on dirt, looks loaded: unbeaten current Derby favorite McCraken is likely to be reopposed by Tapwrit, who was second to him in the Sam F. Davis, then came out of that to win the Tampa Bay Derby impressively (Beyer 96); the Dale Romans-trained J Boys Echo, sharp winner of the Gotham for a Beyer of 102; and the aforementioned GII Fountain of Youth second, Practical Joke. In the Wood we=re likely to see Cloud Computing, the unexposed Pletcher-trained Battalion Runner (Unbridled=s Song), who was scratched from the Florida Derby; and two colts on recovery missions: GII Holy Bull winner but GII Fountain of Youth flop (Curlin) and last year=s GII Remsen S. winner and fellow Always Dreaming | Lauren King/Coglianese Photography Mo Town (Uncle Mo), who fluffed his comeback run behind Girvin in the GII at Fair Grounds. The Santa Anita Trainer Ian Wilkes=s mentor, the legendary Carl Nafzger, scored Derby is likely to feature nearly a full field of pretenders hoping his second Derby win with Street Sense in 2007 after he was to become contenders, possibly headed by Iliad (Ghostzapper), beaten in the Blue Grass--although it was run on the synthetic second to the unbeaten but sidelined Mastery (Candy Ride) in that year. the GII San Felipe S. One observation about the Blue Grass: The following weekend sees the final major Derby prep, the McCraken doesn=t necessarily have to win it to win the Derby. GI Arkansas Derby at Oaklawn Park.

“Barretts showed increases of 26% in gross and 21% in average from last year, which is , but it was only 45 two-year- olds, as last year barely over a third of the catalogue; you can see why they’re talking about combining their March and May sales. Overall so far the US 2-year-old sales have seen 8% more horses catalogued, with six fewer sold, as the clearance rate from the catalogues has dropped from 48% last year to under 44% this year. The gross is up by 13%, and the average up by 15%, for those which have sold. In the three years since OBS expanded the numbers in their March sale the number catalogued is up by 8%, the number sold is down 8%; the percentage sold from those catalogued has dropped from 51% in 2015 to under 44% this year.”

One of the remarkable things about the sport is its ability to con- tinually draw in new devotees, and to have have it quickly become one of the most im- portant things in their life. This month, we delve into the story of just such a person, Jaime Roth, one of racing’s most success- ful new owners, who, along with her par- ents, operates LNJ Foxwoods. Also, if you going to the races on days when the crowd gives you the feeling that something special is happening there, you’ll love our off-the-beaten path story about racing in Sonoma’s Wine Country, one of the sport’s most enjoyable venues. In the Southern Hemisphere, if you’re getting ready to go racing at the Sydney Carnival, we know just the woman to make sure you’re properly outfitted. Back in Kentucky, spring means Keeneland, and we’ll clue you in to Keene- land’s hottest ticket—the annual Maker’s Mark bottle signing, which has raised mil- lions for charity, and has helped to keep the long bond between two Kentucky in- stitutions strong.

COOLMORE IN HUNT FOR GALILEO HEIR NEWHAVEN PARK HOLDS By Kelsey Riley COURT AT EASTER As the breeding season approaches its midway point, stallions= books will be well and truly firming up, and stallion masters will have a good handle on the affinity of their new recruits to their second careers. For the team at Coolmore in Ireland, this is of great importance as they search for the heir to their peerless champion sire Galileo (Ire) (Sadler=s Wells). Not that the 19-year-old is showing any signs of slowing down. Galileo, who has been champion sire eight of the last nine years, sired in 2016 such luminaries as Alice Springs (Ire), 2-year-old champion (Ire), G1 Qatar Prix de l=Arc de Triomphe top three Found (Ire), Highland Reel (Ire) and Order of St George (Ire), champion filly (Ire), G1 Fillies= Mile winner (Ire), Irish Oaks winner Seventh Heaven (Ire) and French Guineas winner The Gurkha (Ire).

With a trimmed-down catalogue for 2017, the sale=s first session returned figures well up on last year=s corresponding day. A catalogue of 160 for day one was scratched down to 137 offerings, of which 110 (80%) were sold, compared to 78% sold on opening day last year. The average of A$347,045 was up 18.9% on day one last year, while the median climbed 50% to A$300,000.

Inglis Easter Sale Day One cont.

Newhaven Park Holds Court At Easter Cont. On Saturday, the 11-year-old mare=s 4-year-old filly English (Aus) (Encosta de Lago {Aus}) looked a sure thing to secure her second Group 1 win in the G1 TJ Smith S. at The Championships before the great sprinter Chautauqua (Aus) (Encosta de Lago {Aus}) swooped from the back of the pack to nip her on the line. Three days later, Court=s Redoute=s Choice (Aus) yearling filly topped the opening session of the Inglis Easter sale when bought by Sheikh Mohammed bin Khalifa al Maktoum for A$1.8-million. The bay will be trained by Tony McEvoy. Newhaven=s John Kelly, the fourth generation of his family to run the farm, said the decision to part with the filly was helped by the fact that he has retained her winning half-sister Puzzle (Aus) (Shamardal), who last year foaled a filly by Exceed and Excel (Aus), as well as a Snitzel filly foal out of Court.
