SNITZEL EQUALS 40-YEAR-OLD RECORD WIRES By Kelsey Riley THE KING GEORGE Leading Australian sire Snitzel (Aus) (Redoute=s Choice {Aus}) reached a significant milestone on Saturday when Bukzel (Aus) became his 30th 2-year-old winner of the season when taking a Newcastle maiden on debut for trainers Peter and Paul Snowden. That win saw Snitzel tie the record for number of juvenile winners in a single season for an Australian sire, held by Without Fear (Fr), which has stood for 40 years. Twenty-nine of those winners have come in Australia and one in South Africa: the exciting Mike de Kock-trained colt Heavenly Blue (Aus). Snitzel stands at Arrowfield Stud, where he will command a fee of A$110,000 this year, and that operation=s Chairman John Messara said, "Snitzel's progeny are precocious, but his 2-year- olds of this year have been something else; we're thrilled with Snitzel's achievements."

Dominant in four tries last season capped by a 5 3/4-length romp in the GI Breeders= Cup Juvenile Fillies, the $400,000 Fasig-Tipton Saratoga grad picked up right where she left off with a trio of drubbings to start her sophomore campaign, including the GI Santa Anita Oaks, Apr. 9. An imposing presence as the GI Kentucky Oaks loomed, she was ultimately forced to miss that event with a low-grade fever. Handled with care by Hall of Famer Jerry Hollendorfer and his team, Songbird returned in the GII Summertime Oaks back in Arcadia June 18, and was just as good as ever, pressing and pulling away to another jaw-dropping 6 1/2-length rout.

Nov. 28--both might have needed the race coming into it, but when push came to shove, neither blinked. >Chrome,= the 4-5 favorite to Dortmund=s 13-10, broke on top, but was content to concede the early advantage to his main--or pretty much only--rival. Dortmund doled out splits of :23.47 and :47.02, and Chrome turned up the pressure around the bend, appearing to be going the better of the two. Dortmund wasn=t done, however, and cut the corner willingly to stick right with the 2014 Horse of the Year. The favorite again seemed to be pulling away in midstretch as he led by a neck or so, but Dortmund remained glued to him from there, and the race seemed much closer than the official winning margin of a half- length would suggest. Win the Space (Pulpit), second in the GI Gold Cup at Santa Anita as a 24-1 outsider last time, checked in 7 1/4 lengths back in third.

AI got him in 1:14, galloped HONORABLE MISS H.-GII, $200,000, 3yo/up, f/m, 6f out 1:30, so he slowed up pretty quickly," the 49-year-old PP HORSE SIRE JOCKEY TRAINER WT conditioner told the NYRA notes team. AHe was clipping off 1 Paulassilverlining Ghostzapper Ortiz Nevin 122 12-and-changes pretty easily the first half, but he slowed down 2 Disco Chick Jump Start McCarthy Serey, Jr. 116 pretty good; he went the last quarter in 25 and change. It wasn't 3 La Madrina Tapit Castellano McGaughey III 115 a perfectly planned work--I wanted the first part of the work to 4 Haveyougoneaway K Congrats Carmouche Morley 116 go, like in 13, and finish up, but he was pretty aggressive, and 5 Diva Express Afleet Express Leparoux Casse 116 6 Sarah Sis K Sharp Humor Valdivia, Jr. Mason 118 after an eighth or so, Junior did say he settled, so that was good. 7 Bar of Gold Medaglia d'Oro Alvarado Kimmel 117 I'm processing what he did last week and this week, and the Owners: 1-Vincent S Scuderi, 2-Yaroslaw J Kolybabiuic, 3-Hamilton, Emory, predominating thought is that he's not finishing as good as I A., 4-Sequel Racing, 5-John C Oxley, 6-Joe Ragsdale, 7-Chester & Mary want him to. Now, as a trainer, is that because he's not fit Broman, Sr. Breeders: 1-Vince Scuderi, 2-Y. Jerry Kolybabiuk, 3-Emory A. enough, or is he struggling with the track?@ Hamilton, 4-Andy & Susan Beadnell, 5-Martin L. Cherry, 6-Catherine Rene The question in Desormeaux=s mind is whether to go ahead White DVM, 7-Chester & Mary R. Broman. and enter the Jim Dandy or to train up to the Aug. 27 GI Travers S. "That's what I'm going to have to struggle with during the EXAGGERATOR IFFY FOR JIM DANDY AFTER week--off of that work, it doesn't seem like he's tight enough, or he's struggling with the track," he said. AIt's making me leery on SUBPAR WORK running him in the Jim Dandy--the Travers is the real goal. So Keith Desormeaux was noncommital on whether or not he we'll see what the next couple of days bring, but there is the would enter his star pupil Exaggerator (Curlin) in the July 30 GII chance I might skip the Jim Dandy, because he didn't finish with Jim Dandy S. after being underwhelmed by the colt=s breeze the vigor I wanted to see. I would rate today=s work a C or a Saturday morning. C-plus.@ Exaggerator, last seen Desormeaux, who won last year=s Jim Dandy with Texas Red finishing 11th as the 7-5 (Afleet Alex), is scheduled to return to California Sunday and will choice in the GI Belmont rely on assistant trainer Julie Clark to keep him updated on S., worked six furlongs in Exaggerator's progress early next week. AWe want to do what's 1:13.80 under Junior best for the horse,@ he summed up. AThat's going to lead to the Alvarado before galloping ultimate decision.@ out in 1:30 flat for seven panels. AI asked him a little bit, Exaggerator working Saturday morning but he didn't really gallop Sarah K. Andrew out much,@ said Alvarado, who rode Exaggerator to victory in last year's GII Saratoga Special S. ABut he was stretching his legs and I think he did very good. He went good, relaxed, settled, finished up nice.@

REGIONAL REPORT SUNDAY • JULY 24, 2016

Sunday Race 2, MSW - For the first 3/4 of the inaugural Showdown at the Spa in 2012, I couldn=t come close to picking a horse that would even lift a hoof. I=d basically conceded the thing to Steve (now every time he has a lead in one of these I do the same thing to try and jinx him), until a George Weaver- trained, Bona Venture Stables-owned juvenile filly named Summer of Fun came along and broke her maiden on the grass at 11-1. I stumbled on a couple more winners before the meet came to an end, and completed what can only be described as one of the greatest comebacks in head-to-head handicapping TDN=s Steve Sherack and Brian DiDonato will give their best bet of the day contest history. I=d prefer to not need to employ the same late- for every Friday, Saturday and Sunday card of the Saratoga meet, and bet in-the-meet heroics this year, but I will be trying to score again $50 Win/Place on their selection. In the case of a scratch, an alternate pick with a horse representing Summer of Fun=s connections. will be posted on Twitter.

Selection: #9 Majestic Bonnie (6-1) Sunset. The Dell Ridge homebred, trained by the always dangerous Chad Brown, has plenty of pedigree in her corner-- her half-sister Partisan Politics graduated in Saratoga=s grassy P.G. Johnson S. after finishing a close third on debut and her Dynaformer dam Bluegrass Princess also did her best running on the grass/synthetic.
