AAs a participant of the NSW DROUGHT RELIEF farming community it=s distressing to see so many greatly effected, on both a personal and business perspective by the drought.

The Peter and Paul Snowden-trained colt is considered one of the leading chances for the San Domenico and Ryan said the trainers have a lot of faith in Neutrality's ability. "I talked to Peter Snowden down at the Premier Sale after his run in the Silver Slipper. He wanted to over-race in that race. He led them up the straight but he blew out," he said.

>MAGIC=, >WONDER= AND SARATOGA: GRAVEYARD OF CHAMPIONS OR BIRTHPLACE? By Christie DeBernardis A WHOLE LOT MORE IN SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y.--Saratoga is arguably the most highly regarded racing venue in the country. Its prestige, history and THIS TRAVERS level of competition are just about unmatched. Part of that history, however, is a reputation as AThe Graveyard of Champions.@ One of the most famous examples of that is the mighty Secretariat=s loss to Onion in the 1973 Whitney S., which was a Grade II at the time. More recently, Triple Crown winner American Pharoah (Pioneerof the Nile)=s perfect sophomore season came to a halt at the Spa when Keen Ice (Curlin) surged past the champion late in the 2015 GI Travers S. However, an can be made that Saratoga has made as many champions as it has claimed, if not more. Cont. p4

Apr. 7 at Keeneland, he chased his fellow chestnut Justify when second in the GI Kentucky Derby and fourth in the GI Preakness S. With that colt out of the picture, Good Magic stamped himself as the 3-year-old to beat in the second half of the season with a comfortable three-length tally in the GI Haskell Invitational last out July 29 at Monmouth.

The Rules are as follows. • Thoro-Rankings uses the performance rating calculated by Thoro-Graph for each horse. ○ Thoro-Graph generates each rating based upon a number of variables such as time of race, beaten lengths, ground loss, weight carried, wind, and a track variant. • The lower the Thoro-Graph number, the better the race performance. The race winner does not always get the best Thoro-Graph number. 1 Thoro-Graph point is worth about a length at 5f, gradually increasing to 2 lengths at 10f. • The lower the Thoro-Graph number, the better the race performance. 1 number = approx 3 lengths at 1 mile. • Thoro-Rankings are classified by surface, distance and sex. The top 5 performances (and ties) in each division will be ranked. • In order to be ranked, the horse much achieve the Thoro-Graph number within a rolling 90-day time frame in a Listed Stake or better in North America. • To be ranked, the horse must be actively running. Announced retirement or long-term injury will disqualify the horse from the rankings.
