MASQUEPARADE ADDS 'SAFE' TO SAY QUEEN'S PLATE CONQUEST HUGE FOR SERPE NOLA FLAVOR TO TRAVERS by Joe Bianca It's been a difficult few years for Phil Serpe and his stable. Like many smaller outfits trying to compete on a top-tier racing circuit, he has seen his number of horses dwindle as owners move in favor of consolidating their operations in the barns of Asuper trainers.@ Partly due to circumstance, partly due to that increasing monopolization of the sport, Serpe has had an especially trying 2021. Heading into this past weekend, he had just two winners to his name since the calendar turned--a 4-year-old maiden-breaker named King Angelo (Lemon Drop Kid) Aug. 14 at Saratoga and a 38-1 upsetter in a Belmont allowance/optional claimer back on May 2 named Safe Conduct (Bodemeister).

Al Stall & Masqueparade | Mike Kane IN TDN EUROPE TODAY by Mike Kane STRONG CLEARANCE AT DONCASTER OPENER SARATOGA SPRINGS, NY--There's more than a casual connection A colt by Dark Angel (Ire) brought a session-topping £120,000 between New Orleans, Masqueparade (Upstart) and Saratoga during the first day of the Goffs UK Premier Yearling Sale. Race Course, where the colt will run Saturday in the Click or tap here to go straight to TDN Europe. $1.25-million GI Runhappy Travers S. Trained by New Orleans native Al Stall for a group of New Orleans businessmen and pals headed by Wilbur "Bill" Babin called FTGGG Racing and whose name references the masks worn during the city's signature Mardi Gras festivities, Masqueparade was purchased with Saratoga in mind. Babin made his first visit to Saratoga in 2003; has come for the entire meet since 2013; and had told the veteran trainer his goal was to race at Saratoga. Masqueparade, the second of two yearlings that FTGGG purchased on consecutive days at the 2019 Keeneland September sale, delivered for Babin and his friends July 31 with a third-place finish in the GII Jim Dandy S., the local prep for the Travers. "He wanted to run a horse," Stall said. "He'd have been happy running in the maiden auction race. And now he's in the Jim Dandy and Travers. It's really an unbelievable story. Someone from New Orleans and it's not like, 'Let's get something for home, for Fair Grounds.' He wanted something for Saratoga and, look, he's in the mother lode with a chance to run well."

Masqueparade cont. For Babin, in particular, Masqueparade has provided him with a summer of pinch-me moments at America's oldest racetrack. "My goal was only to saddle a horse in the paddock at Saratoga. I never in my wildest dreams dreamed that it would be in the Jim Dandy and now the Travers," Babin said. "I told Al, jokingly, of course, when we bought the horse that I wasn't worried about slow development or anything. I wasn't worried about being in the Triple Crown. The whole goal was the Travers, was Saratoga. Literally, I was just joking and now it's come true." Stall has handled plenty of top graded stakes horses during his career, including champion Blame (Arch), who handed future Hall of Famer Zenyatta (Street Cry {Ire}) her only career loss in the 2010 GI Breeders' Cup Classic. He said he never considered skipping the Travers to avoid facing Essential Quality (Tapit), the winner of seven of eight lifetime starts. "No. Been around too long," he said. "We weren't afraid to run against Zenyatta. I have all the respect in the world for him, but it's horse racing." Masqueparade, the most accomplished member of Upstart's first crop, broke his maiden by a disqualification at Fair Grounds Mar. 20 in his fourth start. He showed himself to have stakes potential with a smashing allowance victory on the May 1 GI Kentucky Derby card and beat three stakes winners in the GIII Ohio Derby June 26.

Stall said that Babin told him several times that he wanted to get involved in owning Thoroughbreds. Two years ago, the bankruptcy attorney was ready. He had put together a group of seven partners, which named its stable FTGGG--For the Greater Glory of God, the motto of the Jesuit order--and had the resources to buy some horses. Guided by Stall and the husband-wife team of Frank and Daphne Wooten of Camden, S.C., they purchased two colts, Thirtyminutemass (Honor Code) for $25,000 and Masqueparade for $180,000.

"He's that kind of horse," Stall said. "Maybe he's changed a little bit because he drew off well at Churchill. He might have idled a little bit at Cleveland. He made the lead kind of comfortable and they were just kind of getting to him, but you didn't get the feeling that they were going to go past him. The trainer continued, "He's still a work in progress. I do think he should benefit, hopefully, mentally, but certainly cardio-wise from it, from the Jim Dandy. His two works have been beautiful. [Saturday's] work was, no doubt, the best work of his career. He's not a big work horse, but he was [Saturday] for whatever reason."
