September 4, 2019 Contact: Jim Gluckson, Breeders’ Cup, 212-230-9512 Countdown to the Breeders’ Cup World Championships Newsletter Advisory: This is the third of nine weekly news releases focusing on the horses and races leading to the 36th Breeders’ Cup World Championships on Friday, November 1 and Saturday, November 2 at Santa Anita. For more information, please visit www.breederscup.com. The Breeders’ Cup will be televised live on NBC and NBCSN. You can follow all the contenders’ activity leading up to the Breeders’ Cup with Equibase’s free “Road to the Breeders’ Cup” Virtual Stable notification service. A Thread of Blue and Digital Age to meet again in Jockey Club Derby Eclipse Sportswire photo Jockey Club Derby, Kentucky Turf Sprint Offer ‘Cup Bids Saturday’s inaugural $1 million Jockey Club Derby Invitational at Belmont Park takes on added significance as the race is a “Win and You’re In” for the Longines Breeders’ Cup Turf, while the $700,000 “Win and You’re In” Runhappy Kentucky Downs Turf Sprint (G3) at Kentucky Downs will offer an automatic starting berth into the Breeders’ Cup Turf Sprint. Both races will be televised on NBC (4:30-6 pm ET) as a part of the “Breeders’ Cup Challenge Series: Win and You’re In- Presented by America’s Best Racing” program. Run at 1 ½ miles, the Jockey Club Derby is the third and final leg of the New York Racing Association’s newly minted Turf Trinity which began with the Belmont Derby (G1) in July and continued with the Saratoga Derby Aug. 4. The Jockey Club Derby drew a field of nine, with Leonard Green’s A THREAD OF BLUE and Klaravich Stable’s DIGITAL AGE, the 1-2 finishers of the Saratoga Derby, leading the way. The former, a 3-year-old son of Hard Spun led every step of the way for trainer Kiaran McLaughlin and again looks like the controlling speed, while the latter, a son of Invincible Spirit (IRE), closed stoutly late to miss by a length for trainer Chad Brown. A Thread of Blue is 5-for-10 lifetime, which includes a win in Gulfstream Park’s Palm Beach (G3) in March, while Digital Age is 3-for-5 lifetime, including the American Turf (G2) at Churchill Downs in May. The foreigners are led by SPANISH MISSION, who won the Bahrain Trophy (G3) two-back at Newmarket for trainer David Simcock, and SAN HUBERTO (IRE), who is undefeated in two starts but is stepping up to stakes competition for the first time for trainer Fabrice Chappet. HENLEY’S JOY won the Belmont Derby for trainer Mike Maker but was just fifth at Saratoga, while TONE BROKE enters off wins in the restricted Queen’s Plate at Woodbine and Breeders’ Stakes at Fort Erie for trainer Steve Asmussen. CURRENT, PEDRO CARA (FR), and KADAR are also entered for the “Win and You’re In” Jockey Club Derby Invitational. Defending Two-time Breeders’ Cup Turf Sprint Champion Stormy Liberal Eclipse Sportswire/Breeders’ Cup Photo Kentucky Downs Turf Sprint Highlights a Lucrative Day at Kentucky Downs The ”Win and You’re In” Runhappy Kentucky Downs Turf Sprint is shaping up as one of the stronger turf sprints of the year and highlights a card that also includes the $1 million Kentucky Turf Cup (G3), $500,000 Kentucky Downs Ladies Turf (G3), and $500,000 Kentucky Downs Ladies Sprint (G3). Run at six furlongs, the Turf Sprint is expected to attract Rockingham Ranch’s reigning two-time Breeders’ Cup Turf Sprint winner STORMY LIBERAL, who is still looking for his first win after four starts this year. The 7- year-old son of Stormy Atlantic ended 2018 with a win at Churchill Downs in the Turf Sprint for trainer Peter Miller but has been a bit unlucky this year, as he’s run well without winning, including a third-place finish in the Al Quoz Sprint (G1) at Meydan in Dubai in March. Stormy Liberal is 12-for-34 lifetime and enters off a third-place finish in Del Mar’s Green Flash (G3) August 17. David Palmer’s WET YOUR WHISTLE figures to love the long stretch, like he did at Woodbine when rallying late to win the Highlander (G1) in June for trainer Mike Trombetta. The 4-year-old son of Stroll is 5-for-12 lifetime was recently fourth in the Troy (G3) at Saratoga August 3. Amy Dunne’s LEINSTER won the Troy in a breakthrough performance for trainer Rusty Arnold and will look to back it up. The 4-year-old son of Majestic Warrior has won three straight and after going winless in his first 13 career starts and clearly rates as the now horse. Seven runners will face the top trio in the “Win and You’re In” Kentucky Downs Turf Sprint, with CAUTIOUS GIANT, IMPRIMIS, SMART REMARK, UNDRAFTED, WHITE FLAG, JAZZY TIMES and TOTALLY BOSS completing the field. *** News and Notes Saratoga Juvenile Turf Winners Have Sights Set on Breeders’ Cup Both Walking L Thoroughbreds’ FIGHTING SEABEE and Toby Morton and Chuck Howitz’s CRYSTALLE, who won Wednesday’s $150,000 With Anticipation (G3) and Thursday’s $100,000 P.G. Johnson, respectively, at Saratoga, have designs on the Breeders’ Cup later this fall. Fighting Seabee, a 2-year-old son of Summer Front, made it 2-for-2 for trainer Kenny McPeek, as he doubled up on a maiden win at Ellis Park July 6. The $105,000 yearling purchase has proven a quick return on investment and has his trainer looking forward to a potential trip to Santa Anita later this fall. “It's a good position to be in and hopefully he takes us to the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf," McPeek said. Crystalle, a 2-year-old daughter of Palace Malice, was controversially disqualified from an easy debut victory at Saratoga August 4 but made amends in the P.G. Johnson for trainer John Kimmel, as she overcame a slow pace and closed impressively for the win. "We're thinking about Breeders Cup,” Kimmel said. “Now, we'll probably point to the Miss Grillo (G2, Sept. 29 at Belmont Park) and take it from there." Vino Rosso Bypasses Woodward, to Use Gold Cup as Classic Prep Trainer Todd Pletcher waited until scratch time to pass on Saturday’s $750,000 Woodward (G1, see race recap below) with Mike Repole’s homebred VINO ROSSO, and instead will use Belmont Park’s September 28 Jockey Club Gold Cup (G1), a “Win and You’re In” for the Breeders’ Cup Classic, as a final prep for the race. Vino Rosso, a 4-year-old son of 2007 Breeders’ Cup Classic winner Curlin, was third in another automatic Classic qualifier, Saratoga’s “Win and You’re In” Whitney (G1) Aug. 3, and was 7-2 on the morning line for the Woodward before Pletcher ultimately chose the spacing of the Gold Cup, which is run at 1 ¼ miles, the same distance as the Classic and the Gold Cup at Santa Anita (G1), a race the 5-for-13 Vino Rosso won in May. “It was a really tough decision with Vino Rosso," Pletcher said. "We wavered back and forth for a long time. Our main focus is to get him to the Breeders' Cup Classic in good fashion. We felt like running twice was not the best way to get there. He's always run okay at Saratoga but is a little better at mile and a quarter. With that thinking running a mile and a quarter five weeks from the Classic (in the Jockey Club Gold Cup) will hopefully put us in a better position. *** COUNTOWN TO THE BREEDERS’ CUP WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS A listing of the upcoming major stakes races this weekend: BREEDERS’ CUP CLASSIC September 7 – $300,000 Super Derby (G3) at Louisiana Downs.

"She had a good blow and her heart rate was up but her recovery was good," Vandyke said. "She is a frustrating filly to train. She doesn't do a lot in training or trials and she had a joint issue a couple of weeks ago. I put the blinkers on and we saw an improved horse.@ "She was committed to the cause and really worked to the line strongly,@ he added.

    QUEEN ELI Represents a Young and Exciting Addition to Any Broodmare Band

    PASSPORT OVERVIEW As the youngest half-sister to the dominant and spectacular RUSHING FALL, QUEEN ELI represents a young and exciting addition to any broodmare band. In foal to MORE THAN READY's dual-surface Grade 1 winning son CATHOLIC BOY, QUEEN ELI is offered in foal on a very similar cross to her 6x Grade 1 winning sister. This year, RUSHING FALL joined the likes of Champions LADY ELI and BEHOLDER as the only mares to win Grade 1s at ages 2, 3, 4, and 5. In foal to CATHOLIC BOY QUEEN ELI HIP CANDY RIDE (ARG) – AUTUMNAL, BY FORESTRY 99 BARN 5 Selling Monday, November 9th RUSHING FALL: A QUEEN OF THE TURF Crossing the wire first in 11 of her 14 lifetime starts, the sensational RUSHING FALL- QUEEN ELI's half-sister- has recorded 10 lifetime Graded Stakes wins, 6 Grade 1 wins and over $2,500,000 in earnings. She is one of the most DOMINANT forces in the loaded filly/mare turf division and seems to be getting better with age. Not only did she score back- to-back editions of the G1 Jenny Wiley in course-record time, but she also achieved the rare distinction of winning a Grade 1 at ages 2, 3, 4, and 5. RUSHING FALL: A QUEEN OF THE TURF Earning Grade 1 wins at ages 2, 3, 4, and 5 is no easy task. Only two other mares have accomplished the feat since the start of the Graded Stakes era (since 1976)- Champions BEHOLDER and LADY ELI. RUSHING FALL is a true queen of the turf and is well on her way to running herself right in to the hall of fame.
