Epsom Derby cont. AWe are under no illusions with the Derby,@ Aidan O=Brien said. AWe had two very special horses in High Chaparral and Galileo, and have not won it since. The race is a very difficult test of a horse. There cannot be any chink in their armor and everything has to go right on the day. With Camelot, I suppose it was always one race at a time, and we really hope if we put him to different tests he is able to pass them. He always has been a very special horse from the time he was born and we are very Camelot winning the 2000 Guineas lucky to have him. For from French Fifteen the future of the breed, Racing Post/Ed Whitaker they have to sit the exams and do the big tests. Everyone said a Montjeu had never won a Guineas and it was a big ask for him with history being very hard to change, but we are very lucky that he sat and passed that exam. History and stats aren=t here for no reason and that what makes him very unique--that he went in there and performed.@

The Niarchos Family=s faith in the former assistant to Sir has been rewarded by the surprise package Main Sequence (Aldebaran), who followed two Newmarket handicap wins with a defeat of the highly regarded Shantaram (GB) Main Sequence (Galileo {Ire}) and Racing Post/Mark Cranham re-opposing Cavaleiro (Ire) (Sir Percy {GB}) in the G3 Lingfield Derby Trial S. switched from turf to Polytrack last time May 12. AHe did his last piece of proper work on Saturday, but he=s never been flamboyant and doesn=t do a whole lot at home,@ Lanigan said. AWe had wanted to go to Chester for the Dee S., but the ground was too soft there and he did everything we were hoping he would do at Lingfield. I know some people would say running on the Polytrack was an unconventional route, but the trials were run on heavier ground than usual and I think all horses run their races on Polytrack. We always thought he=d stay a mile and a half on his home work, and he=s strengthened up an awful lot since his 2-year-old career.

TIME FOR WORSHIP Two years ago, St Nicholas Abbey (Ire) (Montjeu {Ire}) was on the sidelines as the Epsom Derby was being staged without him, but he returned here last year to make up for lost time when winning the G1 Coronation Cup. He is back again today, having added a GI Breeders' Cup Turf to his resume in the interim, and is the one to beat, despite two defeats this year when given too much to do off a slow pace in the Mar. 31 G1 Dubai Sheema Classic and on testing ground in the St Nicholas Abbey G3 Mooresbridge S. at The Racing Post/Caroline Norris Curragh last time May 7. Among his opponents is Bjorn Nielsen's 2011 G1 St Leger hero Masked Marvel (GB) (Montjeu {Ire}), who needs to get back on track after two subsequent unplaced efforts when out of his depth in the Arc and on his return in the G2 Jockey Club S. over this trip at Newmarket May 5. "He's in top order," trainer John Gosden said. "We were a bit silly going for the Arc and his run the other day was just an outing on ground he didn't like. It is about the ground with him and he likes it to be good, good-to-firm. He has such a long stride and when the ground moves under him, he doesn't like it." Brian Haggas's homebred 4-year-old Beaten Up (GB) (Beat Hollow {GB}) was sixth in the Sheema Classic at Meydan, but that was only his fourth career start and his first major overseas foray, so he deserves another chance. He looked one of the most exciting prospects among the late-maturing 3-year-olds when beating the subsequent impressive Jockey Club S. winner Al Kazeem (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}) by 4 1/2 lengths in the G3 St Simon S. at Newbury in October, and trainer William Haggas is keeping the faith. "He's a lovely horse and very keen to please all the time in his work," Haggas said. "He's a very genuine, solid horse and I've got nothing to work him with at home. I took him to Epsom the other day [for the >Breakfast With the Stars' morning] and he moved very well there and had a nice stretch. He's in good form and, while the only time he's run in a Group 1 race he was disappointing, we think he is that class--it was a big step up running him in Dubai, and in hindsight I it."

Lucy Young-Hamilton I have been involved in Thoroughbred racing as a breeder and owner for 35 years --most of my life. I strongly believe that the Breeders' Cup offers a great competitive mixture of U.S. and foreign Thoroughbred horses. Having served on the Breeders' Cup Board as a Trustee and as a Member since 1997, I am familiar with the organization and its challenges.

Michael McMahon cont. I have the time and energy to aid in this process. I am 40-years-old and I have worked tirelessly to build several successful thoroughbred businesses. I believe in a strong work ethic, honesty and an open-minded approach to problem solving. For example, while President of the NYTB, I successfully negotiated with the NY State Senate leadership to increase the NY Breeders' share of VLT revenue, a battle many assumed was hopeless. Through lobbying, grassroots support and skillful negotiation, I led NYTB to a solution that earns the New York State Thoroughbred Breeding and Development Fund double what it would have gained. I am asking for your support and I would love to receive your feedback both now, and over the course of my term if elected. Please call me at (859) 879-3189 or email [email protected].
