The Sackatoga runner was removed from Preakness consideration last week and will instead train up to the GI Breeders= Cup Classic at Keeneland Nov. 7. Authentic is one of two Preakness starters for Bob Baffert, who can become the winningest trainer in Preakness history (currently tied with R. Wyndham Walden on seven winners) with a victory from Authentic or Thousand Words (Pioneerof the Nile). The $1-million Keeneland September was to represent Spendthrift and Albaugh Family Stable in the Run for the Roses, but was scratched after flipping in the paddock while being saddled. Thousand Words carries Florent Geroux and breaks from gate five as a 6-1 chance.

DERBY DISAPPOINTMENT BEHIND, DRURY LOOKING FORWARD TO PREAKNESS

Art Collector | Horsephotos by Alan Carasso At this stage exactly four weeks ago, trainer Tom Drury, Jr. was sitting pretty with Art Collector (Bernardini), who figured the solid second choice in the GI Kentucky Derby four days hence. But, as happens all too often in this game, fate intervened, and 24 hours later, Bruce Lunsford=s homebred was a high-profile defection from the Run for the Roses. A month later, the colt will again try to play the role of spoiler, this time as the morning- line 5-2 second favorite to Derby hero Authentic (Into Mischief) in Saturday=s GI Preakness S. at Pimlico.

TDN Q&A WITH ALEX ELLIOTT RINGFORT=S FAST TRACK With the yearling sales now in full swing, TDN quizzes industry TO SUCCESS figures on past purchases, life during lockdown and their perspective on the sales over the next few weeks. Today, Alex Elliott answers our questions.

TDN: What was your best yearling purchase over the last few years? And your favourite?

AE: Group 2 winner New Mandate (Ire) (New Bay {GB}) is a horse that has quickly become both one of my favourite and best purchases. He was bought at last year's Arqana August Yearling Sale for i35,000 and was the first horse I bought for 'Lucra', a new trading syndicate founded by myself and trainer Ralph Beckett. The premise is to buy five yearlings with middle- distance pedigrees, with a view to trading them before the end of their 3-year-old careers, either privately or at public auction.

Click or tap here to go hesitant start with a drastically reduced number of participants, straight to TDN America. but the wheels have at least kept turning, which in turn has allowed some sort of momentum to be continued in the sales ring. We=ve had Royal Ascot at York, so why not the Orby Sale at Doncaster? While the transfer from Ireland to Britain of the Tattersalls Ireland September Sale, and the Goffs Sportsman=s and Orby Sales will have cost Irish vendors dear, it is an extra expense worth bearing considering the other option would have been for those sales not to have taken place at all. Breeder and consignor Derek Veitch is likely to look more favourably on Yorkshire than most this year as it is the county which has been the scene for three Group 2 triumphs this season for juvenile graduates of his Ringfort Stud in County Offaly. First came the triumph of Miss Amulet (Ire) (Sir Prancealot {GB}) in the Lowther S., 24 hours before Minzaal (Ire) (Mehmas {Ire}) landed the Gimcrack S. at York=s Ebor meeting. The following month it was the turn of Ubettabelieveit (Ire) (Kodiac {GB}) to strike in the Flying Childers S. on the racecourse directly alongside the Goffs UK sales ground, the temporary host of this week=s Orby Sale. Cont. p2 TDN EUROPE • PAGE 2 OF 13 • THETDN.COM TUESDAY • 29 SEPTEMBER 2020

Ringfort Stud Cont. from p1 AIt=s a great leveller, the way everything is at the moment,@ says Veitch at the sales ground on Monday. Coronavirus has not been the only upsetting element to this year for Veitch and his wife Gay, who lost their great friend and neighbour Pat Smullen a fortnight ago. He continues, AOn the racing front it has been fantastic for us and internally we are quite excited about some of those horses. We don=t think they are just this year=s horsesChopefully they are going to go forward a wee bit and that=s exciting. There are some nice, unexposed horses out there, too, from that same crop, and I think they are interesting. We=re very happy with that side of things, but life is a great leveller.@ With a reasonable number of potential buyers already in situ in Doncaster ahead of the start of what would normally be Ireland=s premier yearling sale on Wednesday, Veitch sounds a note of cautious optimism ahead of a key few weeks for the European sector. He says, AEverybody has been resolved to the idea that the sales have had to happen here [in the UK] and I have actually been pleasantly surprised as to how well the Ascot and Fairyhouse sales went. The [Goffs UK] Premier Sale here was okay but if you think back it was the first yearling sale and everyone was a bit sceptical about how it would go, but I think at the end of the day a drop of 30% was acceptable. It certainly has not got any worse for the last few sales.@ The season started well for Ringfort Stud, which topped the He adds, AThere are some lovely horses here so I think it is relocated Tattersalls Ascot Yearling Sale with a daughter of going to be a really good test of the top end of the market and Darley=s first-season sire Profitable (Ire) and was also among the the higher tier of the commercial market.@ top lots with Miss Amulet=s half-sister from the first crop of Veitch will know his fate relatively early at Doncaster as his Yeomanstown Stud=s young son of Scat Daddy, El Kabeir. three Orby yearlings all feature on the first day.

At the Orby, his daughter out of the nine-time winner Emperors Pearl (Ire) (Holy Roman Emperor {Ire}) is catalogued as lot 134. On the subject of her sire Profitable, Veitch says, AWe=ve had a few of them and they are very workmanlike, practical horses with good minds. When they go into a trainer=s yard they will come out and do their work and then go in and go back to bed. I don=t know whether they=ve any abilityCwe=ll only find out when they come out on the trackCbut they=ve all the criteria you need in a horse starting out at this stage. He has enough soldiers, enough quality in terms of the individuals, they=ve great minds and they are muscularly mature horses, which is a good thing, so I think they are practical 2-year-olds, not necessarily all 3-year-olds. He could be the Mehmas of next year. There=s nothing about the horse that puts me off.@ Ringfort Stud, as the breeder of Minzaal, has of course played its part in the success story of Tally-Ho Stud resident Mehmas, Ringfort draft alum Miss Amulet | Racingfotos.com who is odds-on to be this season=s champion freshman sire.

Ringfort Stud Cont. Minzaal, now owned by Sheikh Hamdan, followed his Gimcrack victory with a third-place finish in Saturday=s G1 Juddmonte Middle Park S. behind another son of Mehmas, the winner Supremacy (Ire). Minzaal=s relaxed demeanour at a blustery Rowley Mile certainly gave him the appearance of a horse who is as mentally equipped as he is physically to have a Senior Vice President Gary King successful racing career beyond this season, and this is one of Twitter: @garykingTDN the traits which particularly endears Veitch to youngsters that [email protected] come through his hands. + 1.732.320.0975 AThere are certain parameters that I don=t like in horses but you never really know what their heads and their hearts are like International Editor until you put them under pressure in the last two furlongs at Kelsey Riley 40mph,@ he says.

With Alex Elliott Cont. from p1

AE: Ralph and I have enjoyed much success with such purchases and we thought it was about time we had some skin in the game. We imagined this year was going to be a slow burner for investors considering the portfolio of pedigrees that we had put together, but New Mandate has managed to make sure 'Lucra I' will end in profit, as he was sold after his maiden win at Sandown and immediately rewarded his new owner with a win in the Listed Flying Scotsman at Doncaster. He is now rated 111 after winning the G2 Royal Lodge S. at Newmarket on Saturday. Jamie McCalmont was kind enough to give me my first job in bloodstock when I returned home from the U.S. in 2012 and he bought New Mandate for his new owner, Marc Chan. I have plenty to thank both Jamie and Ralph for and it is fantastic that we can all enjoy New Mandate's progress together.

TDN: Are there any positive you have taken from how the sales have been conducted this year?

AE: I think sales companies, vendors, buyers and staff have moved mountains to make this sales season happen and everyone should be very proud of what they have achieved. Arqana put on flights to and from their premier yearling sale and they should be highly commended on the service that they provided. The knock-on effect of sales not happening does not bear thinking about. Cont. p6

Bivouac was last seen when third in the G2 The Shorts on Sept. BIVOUAC TO TACKLE 19, his first-up run of the spring and Cox said that effort, beaten only 1.2l by fellow Everest competitor Classique Legend (Not A THE EVEREST Single Doubt), has brought him on perfectly. "I was looking at him at Osborne Park on Saturday and the horse looked fantastic. It wasn't a big piece of work but he worked brilliantly on Saturday and we couldn't be happier with him. James and the team are very happy with the horse and we have put Glen Boss on to ride him, bringing the partnership together from the Newmarket," he said. Boss rode Yes Yes Yes to win The Everest last year and while he has had just eight rides for Cummings in the past 12 months, he has a strike rate of 25%. "As Glen reminded me, he has a very good Group 1 record. He's a big race rider and he has certainly got the best out of Bivouac when he rode him in the Newmarket," Cox said. Cox confirmed that Bivouac will trial again before The Everest. "James is very meticulous with his preparation and the plan is Bivouac | Bronwen Healy he will trial in the interim and should go into The Everest as good as he can be," he said. By Bren O'Brien Godolphin became a slotholder ahead of last year's race, Godolphin has opted for multiple Group 1-winning 4-year-old selecting Alizee (Sepoy), who would ran seventh, to run for it, Bivouac (Exceed And Excel) as its runner in The Everest, banking while another of its top sprinters, Trekking (Street Cry {Ire}), ran on him to show the form that took him to successes in the G1 third under the slot of the Melbourne Racing Club. The Cummings Golden Rose S. and G1 Newmarket H. in the $15 million race on -trained Osborne Bulls (Street Cry {Ire}) also ran third in the October 17. 2018 edition when selected to run by the Australian Turf Club. Bivouac has long been the front runner for Godolphin's Everest Godolphin also secured a slot for this year's race, and Cox said slot having established himself not only as an elite 3-year-old to win The Everest, with a stallion prospect of the order of colt but having proven himself against the older horses with an Bivouac, in their own slot, would be a significant achievement emphatic win in the Newmarket at Flemington in March. for the global powerhouse. Godolphin Australia's Managing Director Vin Cox told TDN AusNZ that the decision was a relatively straightforward one when he sat down with trainer James Cummings and the other members of Godolphin's Everest selection committee on Monday. "He's always been our best horse and he's a dynamic horse on his day and was certainly brilliant in winning the Newmarket earlier this year and the Golden Rose last year," Cox said. "He was always the one we wanted to go forward with and given we have got our own slot and our own horses, you don=t want to commit too early. We wanted to make sure that the horse is fit and able to go forward and to make sure he was our best prospect."

"They are knocking on the door. Whether we go forward with Trekking at this stage we haven't decided. There is certainly some interesting proposals with him, no doubt," he said.
