Thornton Linda Rice had her training license immediately revoked for a period of "no less than three years" and fined $50,000 May 17 when New State Gaming Commission (NYSGC) members voted 5-0 to agree with a hearing officer that Rice's years-long pattern of seeking and obtaining confidential pre-entry information from New York Racing Association (NYRA) racing office workers was "intentional, serious and extensive, and that her actions constituted improper and corrupt conductY inconsistent with and detrimental to the best interests of racing."

AWe are certainly going to give it our best,@ Bennett said when asked if the hot results would continue Tuesday. AI certainly hope so. From what I am hearing, we have a lot of really nice horses tomorrow, so we will hope for the same result. If we can keep on today's pace, I am thinking it will be another great day.@

Fasig-Tipton Midlantic cont. AThese Irish guys, when they throw that term out, that's a pretty good indication. They'll say, 'He's a nice horse.'

And the fact that he's a big strong horse that worked in :10 flat, you take a look at him and he's not supposed to work that fast, but he did it the right way.@

Of West Point's partner on the million-dollar baby, Finley said, AWe have a brand new guy who took 50% of him. He's a West Pointer who is a little bit older than I am. He hasn't had a lot of success in the business and he called me a couple of days after the Kentucky Derby and he said, 'I want to compete in the big races.' So I told him I would give him my best effort. That's what we did.@ While Medina Spirit (Protonico)'s high-profile positive test following his GI Kentucky Derby victory two weeks ago tumbled the sport into turmoil, Finley said he believes the newly passed Horseracing Integrity and Safety Act will help to reassure and attract new investors. AThe last week has been turbulent, but up until then, I think people were really starting to look at the Horse Racing Integrity Act as something that in a short period of time is really going to help our business,@ Finley said. AI just ask everyone in the horse business to get behind it because I think it will attract people and investors. I think it will present all of us a level playing field. I've always been a big fan of the Horse Racing Integrity Act, but especially now. I think we all need to get behind it and try to push it across the line.@ Finley did his bidding standing at the back of the pavilion. Just a few rows up, Medina Spirit's owner Amr Zedan was sitting with advisors Gary Young and Charlie Boden, as well as lawyer Clark Brewster. Zedan would ultimately bow out of the bidding and Finley said the difference was the bidding power inherent in partnerships.

AThis is our 30th year, so we've been doing this a long time and you can't be intimidated when you walk onto a sales ground,@ Finley said of the bidding war. AIf you do, you're going to get intimidated very quickly. Because there is a lot of money. But I think that's the power of the partnership--the ability to make some calls and tell people, 'Look I have a very good prospect. I think he could be a special horse. And I'd for you to take a part of him.' And I think this is one of those horses.@ For his part Woods, who also consigned the day's second- highest priced juvenile, was asked to define his 'proper horse' observation.

two Classic winners she falls into that category,@ Scarborough SCARBOROUGH, said. AShe=s absolutely fantastic and she just gets these cracking, good types and clearly also has the genetic material that gives NICOLL REFLECT ON them the big heart and the will to win. ACabaret has got a Kingman foal and he=s another absolute CABARET'S INFLUENCE cracker and she=s tested in foal to Kingman. They did a genetic scan on the mare and she=s carrying another colt. I=m still waiting for a filly to keep and race so we=ll see what happens. She=s still young enough to hopefully produce a couple of fillies for me.@ Cabaret was purchased on Scarborough=s behalf by the BBA Ireland=s Adrian Nicoll at the Tattersalls December Mares= Sale in 2011. AWhat a mare, to produce two Guineas winners is rare, somewhat unbelievable really,@ Nicoll said. AShe started a bit disappointingly. We bought her for 600,000 gns (AU$1.14 million) in foal to Danehill Dancer and had a great result when she made 525,000 gns (AU$1 million) as a yearling.@ Named Prance (Ire), the filly placed once from five appearances and her daughter Neptune=s Wonder (Ire) (Kodiac {GB}) was a 2-year-old winner at Goodwood last year. AThe mare then had a couple more that weren=t so good, we

Cabaret, dam of St Mark=s Basilica and | Hazelwood had an Invincible Spirit horse and after that a Dansili that never got to the track,@ Nicoll said. by Paul Vettise ACabaret was on the cusp and we had to decide whether to Prominent Australian breeder Bob Scarborough will have to keep her or get rid of her. She had a Kodiac filly that wasn=t any wait a little longer for his wonder mare Cabaret (Ire) (Galileo good and then came Magna Grecia. He was a magnificent {Ire}), the illustrious dam of Classic winners St Mark=s Basilica looking horse and then came St Mark=s Basilica.@ (Fr) (Siyouni {Fr}) and Magna Grecia (Ire), deliver what would be a hugely valuable filly. Scarborough has celebrated outstanding results with Cabaret, who was initially something of a slow burn as a broodmare, but she is now the dam of a pair of Classic winners following the most recent success of St Mark=s Basilica in the G1 French 2000 Guineas. Trained by Aidan O=Brien, the colt had won the G1 Dewhurst S. at his previous appearance and now joins his half-brother Magna Grecia as a two-time winner at the highest level. Magna Grecia claimed the G1 English 2000 Guineas and the G1 Futurity Trophy from O=Brien=s stable before taking his place on the Coolmore stallion roster. The Irish-based Cabaret, who won the G3 Silver Flash S. as a 2-year-old, has soared into blue hen territory through the deeds of her high-class sons. AI would have thought she is (a blue hen) and having produced St Mark=s Basilica | Scoop Dyga TDN /NEW ZEALAND • PAGE 2 OF 2 • THETDN.COM TUESDAY • 18 MAY 2021

O'Brien stated that St Mark=s Basilica could be next set for another Group 1 target in France or the G1 St James's Palace S. AHe has an option to go to Ascot, or go back for the French Derby,@ he said. AThe original plan was that he would go there and back for the French Derby.@ Scarborough viewed St Mark=s Basilica=s outstanding Guineas victory live, but only after a prompt from Nicoll. AI had got a bit confused about the date of the French Guineas. I got back from a weekend in the country and Adrian rang and said St Mark=s Basilica is running and it=s 11.50 p.m. your time so I sat up and watched it, it was a big thrill,@ he said. Cabaret is a half-sister to the G3 Solario S. winner Drumfire (Ire) (Danehill Dancer {Ire}) and the Listed HKJC Queen=s Silver Jubilee Cup winner Ho Choi (GB) (Pivotal {GB}), who was also Adrian Nicoll purchased Cabaret at Tattersalls | Tattersalls runner-up in the G2 Gimcrack S. The third dam Fife (Ire) ( {USA}), who was third in the Cabaret normally resides at Norelands Stud at County Listed S., is also the second dam of the G3 Park S. winner Kilkenny, Ireland, where Nicoll was dining with farm Principal and G1 Moyglare S. runner-up Ugo Fire (Ire) (Bluebird {USA}). Harry McCalmont when contacted by TDN AusNZ. AThe mare is This is also the family of the GI Hollywood Turf Cup hero over in at the moment [at Hazelwood Bloodstock] and Frenchpark (GB) (Foolshome {USA}) and the G1 she=ll be back here soon,@ he said. winner Pearly Shells (GB) (Efisio {GB}).

Brothers in Arms Scarborough will also be racing St Mark=s Basilica=s brother, who has been named Lights (Ire). AThe colt is with Jessie Harrington. Norelands presented him at the sales last year and he didn=t make the reserve,@ he said. ASt Mark=s Basilica made 1.3 million gns (AU$2.47 million) as a Extreme Choice Filly Tops Inglis Sale yearling and we thought Paris Lights was every bit as good as him. We put a reserve of 700,000 gns (AU$1.33 million) on him Influence of the Teeley Dispersal and the bidding stopped at 625,000 gns (AU$1.2 million) so that was the end of it. He=s currently a little bit shin sore, but they 2021 Announced Stallion Fees have got an opinion of him so I hope he=s half as good as the two Guineas winners.@ Frankel’s Converge Excels in Trial
