>CHARGINGMARIA= TO F-T NOVEMBER OUTWORK, SPEIGHTSTER Stopchargingmaria (Tale of the CatBExotic Bloom, by RETIRED TO WINSTAR Montbrook), a game heroine of last year=s GI Breeders= Cup Distaff over eventual champion 3-year-old filly Stellar Wind (Curlin), will be offered at the Nov. 7 Fasig-Tipton November Sale. Taylor Made Sales Agency will consign the 5-year-old mare. Stopchargingmaria recently retired from racing with nine wins from 18 starts and earnings of $3,014,000. She captured three Grade I events--including the GI Alabama S. and GI Coaching Club American Oaks as a 3-year-old in 2014--and finished in the money in 14 of her 18 total starts. The dark bay will be making her second trip to the Fasig-Tipton November sales ring, having been acquired privately by Town and Country from Repole Stable after she RNA=d for $3.15 million at the sale in 2014. Bred in Kentucky by Harvey Clarke & Brookdale Farm LLC., she was also a $47,000 KEESEP yearling and a $220,000 OBSMAR juvenile. Cont. p3

AOutwork and Speightster are as close to Uncle Mo and Speightstown as you will find when you look at the combination of their overall quality, physical traits, and racing traits in relation to their sires,@ said Elliott Walden, WinStar President & CEO. ASpeightstown is emerging as a sire of sires, and Speightster is closely related to Smart Strike and bred just like him. Most would expect Uncle Mo to have successful sons at stud, and Outwork looks like a carbon copy. So these are two very exciting new stallion prospects that will have the full support of some of the top breeders in the world, including WinStar and our partners Mike Repole and Woodford Thoroughbreds on Outwork.@ Outwork, a homebred for Mike Repole, becomes the first Grade I winner by leading young sire Uncle Mo to retire to stud. The GII Lambholm South Tampa Bay Derby runner-up also became his sire=s first winner as a 2-year-old when he impressively broke his maiden first-time out going 4 1/2 furlongs during the 2015 Keeneland Spring meet.

CHUCK BORELL GETS PROBATION IN HORSE ABUSE PLEA DEAL by T.D. Thornton Charles A. AChuck@ Borell, the leaseholder at a Kentucky farm where 43 neglected and undernourished horses were deemed to have been abandoned by the Kentucky Department of Agriculture (KDOA) in June, entered an AAlford plea@ (a plea of guilty without making an admission of guilt) in Mercer County District Court on Sept. 29 that will spare him from going to jail in the highly publicized equine abuse case. According to the Lexington Herald-Leader, Borell will serve two years of probation in return for relinquishing any ownership interest he had in the 43 horses that have since been moved to 14 different farms.

WINX OFFICIALLY AUSTRALIA HOTY THROUGH HIGHS AND by Alan Carasso Winx (Aus) (Street Cry {Ire}), whose seven consecutive LOWS, DETTORI ENDURES victories in the 2015-2016 season included five straight at Group 1 level, was crowned the Australian Horse of the Year at ceremonies held Thursday in Sydney, with 59 of the 60 votes from national media. She was also named champion middle- distance horse. Bred in New South Wales by John Camilleri=s Fairway Thoroughbreds, Winx was an A$230,000 purchase out of the 2013 Magic Millions Gold Coast Yearling Sale and has readily assumed the mantra of racing royalty from the unbeaten Black Caviar (Aus) (Bel Esprit {Aus}). Building on a pair of victories at the tail end of her 3-year-old season for trainer Chris Waller, Winx was the convincing 2 1/2-length winner of the G1 Epsom H., setting her up for a Dettori and Spain Burg following the Rockfel | Racing Post photo slashing, rail-skimming five-length success in the G1 Cox Plate (2040m). Cont. p9 by Chris McGrath Frankie Dettori's career has somehow always been charted from one public landmark to another: fleeting moments that IN TDN AMERICA TODAY unmistakably condense and guarantee a lasting impact on Turf STOPCHARGINGMARIA TO SELL AT F-T NOVEMBER history. Of course, these tend to be sooner moments of triumph Town and Country Farm’s GI Breeders’ Cup Distaff winner than crisis, none more so than his defining breakthrough at Stopchargingmaria (Tale of the Cat) will be offered at the Fasig- Ascot 20 years ago this week. But the lows, when they have Tipton Kentucky November Sale. Click or tap here to go straight to come, have been no less melodramatic. Hauled from the flames TDN America. of a plane crash. An excruciating breakdown in his 18-year relationship with Godolphin. A six-month drugs ban. In celebrating the anniversary of his "Magnificent Seven", then, it can be hard to remember that there are ridges joining the peaks and valleys; that even Frankie Dettori spends most of his time in the mundane rituals of his trade, riding work, sitting in traffic jams, juggling family time and professional commitments. "People tell me I've had a very up-and-down life," he tells TDN. "I say to them: 'No, I've just had a very colourful life.' I've touched a lot of extremes. That's the way I am. My life's been like that as long as I can remember, in my childhood, in my apprenticeship, all the way through. You become used to it. In fact, I like these extremes, these emotions: a boring life doesn't suit me. So I dread the day when I do retire, because something- -don't ask me what--is going to have to fill that gap." That day will duly be deferred for as long as he feels sensible. Forty-six this winter, Dettori is thinking in terms of riding until he is 50--exactly twice the age he was when riding through the card at Ascot on 28 September 1996, and finding himself an overnight celebrity.

Dettori cont. from p1 "I didn't really understand what had happened until I opened the door to pick up the newspapers the next morning, wearing a T-shirt and underpants, and found four cameras and 10 journalists waiting there," he says. "It was my Rhys Ifans moment, in [the film] Notting Hill. Then when I opened the papers I found I was all over the front pages. The bookmakers had lost ,40 million, I was moving the stock market, there were punters making millions. It was only then that I understood what I'd achieved." The fact that he had accomplished the miracle more or less in a trance, by sheer instinct, confirms what has always been said of Dettori: namely, that he operates best when "in the zone". That is also true of other top-class sportsmen, who can impose themselves on a situation by a kind of charismatic intensity. But the effect will obviously be rather more direct on a sensitive thoroughbred than on a bunch of other guys in a ball game. "People say I ride on impulse, that when things are going well I ride well," Dettori reflects. "And it's true. That whole dayYwell, I didn't really remember anything about the fourth and fifth winners, because I was still feeding off the buzz of winning the QEII on Mark Of Esteem (Ire) (Darshaan {GB}). How to win that race had been the only thing in my head that morning. After he had won, well, it's my mind that takes over, not me. You can't plan to be like that. The crowd gets behind you, the adrenaline's pumping, you just go up another notch. I wish I could bottle it, so that I could use it every Saturday. Certainly I wasn't going to let the last race spoil anything. I went out there with a je ne porte quoi attitude. I felt absolutely no pressure, and that's probably why I won." Cont. p3

Dettori cont. "I believe in fate," Dettori says. "But there was also self-belief. I said to myself that I would stick at it. I deserved another By the same token, times of trouble have threatened to turn chance. Because I didn't deserve to go out like that. It did get to that same momentum, that self-fulfilling emotional agenda, the stage when I thought I was not going to get that chance, but against Dettori--never more pathetically than when, reduced by it did come. As I said, fate. So when Golden Horn ran in the Arc, that painful estrangement from Godolphin, he failed a drugs test and Treve was going for her third win, I said to myself: 'This is in 2012. On returning from his suspension, the following June, my turn, now.'" he rode only 16 British winners through the rest of the season. Dettori assents when it is put to him that he responded to that He candidly admits that he was contemplating retirement.

And this time round, "I had got the momentum going again and back at the track he has made his own, he then suddenly I was back to square one," produced a masterclass on his latest Classic Dettori says.

"At the end of my time with Godolphin, I had lost my "And when Criquette [Head, her trainer] took me off Treve, horsemanship," Dettori admits. "It's like getting divorced, you're the following summer, that was even harder to swallow than going through a bad period. Going back to John, getting back in watching her win the first time. Really, I was devastated. The the stable again, it was like starting over. John is not just a filly wasn't well, she was underperforming. Everyone could see master with the bloodstock.

Treve duly bounced back to form in the Arc--but the darkest Things have now reached a point where Dettori can even take hour comes just before the dawn.

Cont. p4 When Dettori reported to ride work the following spring, the first horse Gosden sat him on was Golden Horn (GB) (Cape Cross {Ire}). And while Dettori instead rode the flashy worker Jack Hobbs (GB) (Halling) when Golden Horn and Buick won the G2 Dante S., his mount ran well enough for Godolphin to buy a stake. When the pair proceeded to Epsom, Buick was claimed to ride in the royal blue and Dettori duly regained the mount on Golden Horn--and the rest is history.
