MSHAWISH PROVES Trainer Ron Moquett and Owner Harry Rosenblum, Who LIKE FATHER LIKE SON Teamed up to Win Last Year’S GIII Southwest S

TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 9, 2016

WHITMORE ENTERS SOUTHWEST PICTURE MSHAWISH PROVES Trainer Ron Moquett and owner Harry Rosenblum, who LIKE FATHER LIKE SON teamed up to win last year’s GIII Southwest S. with Far Right (Notional), will be represented in next Monday’s renewal of the 1 1/16-mile race by two-time winner Whitmore (Pleasantly Perfect). Whitmore worked in company with two stablemates, including Far Right, Monday at Oaklawn. The gelding went five furlongs in 1:00.60. “The work was a maintenance breeze for Far Right and a question-asking breeze for Whitmore,” Moquett, who is also co- owner of the sophomore, said. “It was just a typical maintenance deal. Very proud of them. You’ve got to be excited about the works and, thank goodness, all my horses worked good today.” Far Right, nominated to Saturday’s Essex H., was credited with a half-mile work in :47.60 and the third stablemate, 3-year-old maiden How About You Dude (First Dude) received :48. Cont. p3 Mshawish | Kenny Martin by Andrew Caulfield “Like father, like son” is a phrase that held good when Mshawish contested the GI Donn H. three days ago. In powering First Sale Of The Year At Arqana clear in this Grade I dirt contest, the 6-year-old emulated his sire Emma Berry reports on the action from Arqana’s Medaglia d’Oro, winner of the 2004 Donn as a prelude to his opening sale of 2016 second in Pleasantly Perfect’s G1 Dubai World Cup. Click or tap here to go straight to TDN Europe. There is, though, one major difference between the two. Whereas Medaglia d’Oro never tackled turf, his son was having only his third start on the main track. Having made his debut over Chantilly’s Polytrack in 2012, Mshawish then made 19 straight appearances on turf, most notably winning the GI Gulfstream Park Turf H. a year before his Donn success. With Medaglia d’Oro as his sire and daughters of Thunder Gulch, Storm Cat and Seeking the Gold as his first three dams, respectively, there was always a good chance that Mshawish would handle a dirt track. Arguably it was more surprising that Medaglia d’Oro was never tried on turf. His sire El Prado was a Group 1 winner on the surface, as were El Prado’s parents Sadler’s Wells and Lady Capulet, and Medaglia d’Oro’s dam Cappucino Bay gained four of her five successes on turf. However, Edmund A. Gann’s colorbearer had already demonstrated his potential on dirt for co-breeder Joyce Bell and trainer David Vance before his transfer to Bobby Frankel, with the Triple Crown beckoning. Cont. p5

I’M A CHATTERBOX SWIFT IN RETURN BREEZE by Ben Massam Carolyn and Fletcher Gray’s I’m a Chatterbox (Munnings), winner of last year’s GI Cotillion S. and a finalist for 2015 champion 3-year-old filly honors, returned to the worktab with a bullet three-furlong breeze in :35.40 [1/10] Monday at Fair Grounds. Unraced since an eighth-place finish in the GI Longines Breeders’ Cup Distaff Oct. 31, the chestnut has been making her own schedule, according to trainer Larry Jones. “I guess that was a good way to start back,” Jones joked when asked about the quick clocking. “It wasn’t by design, but she did it easy. She’s been wanting to run and wanting to stretch her legs a little, so she did. She came out of it good.” Jones said that he did not have any particular race or early-season goal in mind for I’m a I’m a Chatterbox | Coady Photography Chatterbox, and would keep an eye on her training in the coming weeks before making a decision. “We’ll just let her tell us,” said Jones. “I hadn’t designed to start breezing her, but she was telling me last week that she’s ready to breeze.” I’m a Chatterbox swept all three stakes events for 3-year-old fillies at the Fair Grounds last year and ran third in the GI Kentucky Oaks behind stablemate Lovely Maria (Majesticperfection). She finished second in both the GI Coaching Club American Oaks and GI Alabama S. at Saratoga prior to her Cotillion victory. Jones, a three-time Kentucky Oaks winner, also sent out sophomore filly Midnight on Oconee (Midnight Lute) to breeze five furlongs in 1:01.40 [5/19] at the New Orleans oval Monday.

As Medaglia d’Oro’s next three crops were a good deal smaller than his 145-strong first crop, he was never likely to match those highly impressive initial statistics--and he didn’t. He still did very well, though, adding nine graded/group winners to his tally, including the Grade I winners Champagne d’Oro, Passion For Gold, Marketing Mix and Plum Pretty. However, it was his fifth crop--the one sired largely at Stonewall prior to his switch to Darley--which has proved the most fruitful. Mshawish and his rival Valid rank among the extraordinary total of 13 graded/group winners which have emerged from this 2010 crop’s 156 named foals--that’s more than 8%. Four of them have won at Grade I level. Of course Medaglia d’Oro was tough and durable--he was five when he won the Donn H.--and his 2010 crop shows that he is very capable of passing on this durability. Mshawish and Valid were among his eight graded winners at the age of five last year, along with Coffee Clique, Gold Medal Dancer, Golden Lad, Golden Sabre, Lochte and Yahilwa. Last year I wrote “when a stallion’s fee jumps considerably to $100,000, it is only natural that everyone expects him to do even better than before. As I am convinced that most stallions are heavily dependent on the quality of their mares, I too am expecting an avalanche of top winners from Medaglia d’Oro’s six-figure crops. But it is worth remembering that it is hard to improve on perfection--or near perfection--so Medaglia d’Oro faced a tough task in trying to fulfil these heightened expectations. Also, it wasn’t just Medaglia d’Oro’s fee and location that had changed. The chances are that, with considerable support from the Maktoum family, there was also a change in the type of mare he received.” So how are these three $100,000 crops faring a year further down the line?

Fox Hill’s star is one of eight fillies among Medaglia d’Oro’s total of 13 Grade I winners and we have already seen Rachel Alexandra defeat the Kentucky Derby winner to land the Preakness. There is a pedigree link between Songbird and Rachel Alexandra. Songbird’s dam Ivanavinalot was sired by West Acre, a son of Forty Niner, whereas Rachel Alexandra’s dam Lotta Kim was sired by Roar, another son of Forty Niner. West Acre never raced, but earned his chance as a stallion in Florida on the strength of his bloodlines. With a son of Mr. Prospector as his sire and Narrate as his dam, he was a three-parts-brother to two notable Mr. Prospector mares in Preach, dam of Pulpit, and her sister Yarn, dam of Tale of the Cat. Ivanavinalot, of course, was also hard to beat as a 2-year-old. Successful in five of her six starts at that age, including the valuable My Dear Girl S., she received a weight of 110 on the 2002 Experimental Free Handicap. She went on to win the GII Bonnie Miss S. over a mile and an eighth. Add the fact that both of her grandsires, Forty Niner and Deputy Minister, had form over a mile and a quarter and there is reason for hoping that Songbird will stay a mile and a quarter, if asked--especially when Forty Niner and Deputy Minister both had a Belmont S. winner to their credit.

I have always loved Mission Impazible, and he’s going to make some noise this year as a freshman sire. I broke him, and I have some of his 2-year-olds. They’re one of the best groups here.
