AOur intent was to let Nitrous go because the way he rated last time, we thought if we got him in position, Johnny [Velazquez] could make a move on him when he thought it was the right time,@ Sacco said. AHe has gears. He ran a great race against Call Paul [in his debut July 5 at Delaware Park] and then at Monmouth, but then you have to do it on the big show. We had a lot of horse at the quarter pole. Johnny said he was actually waiting a little bit. He=s still a little green and learning.@ Velazquez added, AHe settled pretty easy along the backstretch and got settled to the turn. Once we reached the three-eights pole and I asked him, he was full of run. I was real proud of the way he finished. He came on and never relinquished.@ Cont. p3 All Purpose. All Places. All Power.

QURBAAN made his North American debut a winning one and became his sire’s newest Graded stakes winner with a determined victory over a competitive field in Monday’s $250,000 Bernard Baruch H. (G2) at Saratoga.

Game Winner Gives Baffert 14th Futurity Winner (cont. from p1) Away well from his outside draw, Game Winner was unhurried early and dropped back toward the rear of the field as Rowayton tore away through a :22.53 quarter. Game Winner began to advance in tandem with Roadster passing a half in :45.35, but they both still had several lengths to find at the top of the lane. Rowayton, however, started to hit a wall inside the furlong grounds while never switching leads, and Game Winner, the less fancied of the two Bafferts, had the stronger late punch to take over in deep stretch and score by 1 1/2 lengths in 1:23.18.

Game Winner | Benoit

AGoing down the backside that other horse [Rowayton] was way out there and sometimes if you get out there like that you can steal a race,@ Baffert said. AI just hoped my guys knew they were in good spots. I knew they'd have to sprint home. I knew coming in that [Game Winner] was coming back a little quick, but he's a big strong heavy horse and I knew he could handle it. I'd rather run him again than keep working him.@ Game Winner went wire-to-wire for an eye-catching debut victory going six furlongs of the Del Mar track Aug. 18. He tuned up for the Futurity with a best-of-33 five-furlong drill in :59 3/5 and was shedding the blinkers for this second start. Baffert had tabbed Roadster as his next superstar well before the gray colt had made his racetrack debut a winning one July 29. AI=m a little disappointed in [Roadster], but it was only his second outing and sometimes the second out when you break their maidens they can get a little flat on you,@ Baffert admitted. Rowayton, a debut winner at Del Mar July 21, may have gotten an education Monday, according to the meet=s leading rider Drayden Van Dyke. AThat was the plan--to just go for it,@ Van Dyke said. AHe did and he ran good. He fought me on changing leads once more; he fought me on the right [lead]. But he'll learn; he'll get better.@

Too Darn Hot has such an illustrious pedigree that it's hard to PEDIGREE INSIGHTS: find anything new to say about it. With Dubawi as his sire, the international Group 1 winner Dar Re Mi (GB) as his dam and the TOO DARN HOT AND celebrated broodmare Darara (Ire) as his second dam, Too Darn Hot is a full-brother to those very talented fillies So Mi Dar (GB) TEN SOVEREIGNS and Lah Ti Dar (GB). Anyone thinking of backing Too Darn Hot for the G1 2000 Guineas should note that So Mi Dar never tackled a distance shorter than a mile and a quarter after the age of two, while Lah Ti Dar is unbeaten in three starts from 10 to 12 furlongs. Too Darn Hot also represents the remarkable Dubawi-Singspiel cross which has produced 10 black-type winners from a total of only 30 foals--a terrific 33%--with the Group 1 winners Left Hand (GB) and Wuheida (GB) and this year's Group 2 winner Old Persian (GB) among them. Again, it should be noted that Left Hand's group victories came over 10 and 12 furlongs, while Old Persian's Group 2 successes were both gained over a mile and a half. Cont. p2

IN TDN AMERICA TODAY Regally bred Solario S. winner Too Darn Hot | Racing Post IN ‘CONTROL’ IN THE HOPEFUL Mind Control (Stay Thirsty) ships in from Monmouth and upsets As a lover of quality two-year-old racing, the action at around the GI Hopeful S. at Saratoga. Click or tap here to go straight to 3:30 last Saturday was something of a treat for me, with two TDN America. wide-margin maiden race winners and >TDN Rising Stars= proving similarly impressive when they stepped up to Group 3 company. Firstly, the Round Tower S. at The Curragh was taken in very dominant style by 's substantial son Ten Sovereigns (Ire) and then the Solario S. threw up a potential Classic winner when the regally-bred Too Darn Hot (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}) forged four lengths clear of the Chesham S. winner Arthur Kitt (GB) (Camelot {GB}). These eye-catching victories led to some significant changes to the Racing Post's list of the year's top juveniles, with Too Darn Hot taking over the top spot with a figure of 118, 2lb above Kingman's sidelined G2 Coventry S. winner Calyx (GB), who has also won his first two starts in style. Ten Sovereigns has been given a figure of 113, which places him third equal among the 2-year-old olds, equal with the Coventry S. second and G1 Phoenix S. winner (GB) (Showcasing {GB}). It is worth adding that the next colt on the list, on 112, is the G2 Superlative S. winner Quorto (Ire), who shares the same sire, Dubawi, as Too Darn Hot. TDN EUROPE • PAGE 2 OF 10 • THETDN.COM TUESDAY • 4 SEPTEMBER 2018

Too Darn Hot and Ten Sovereigns cont. from p1 Rare Rhythm (GB) landed his Group 3 victory at Meydan over a mile and three-quarters. Even Wuheida's wins in the GI Breeders' Cup Filly & Mare Turf and G2 Dahlia S. were gained over a furlong more than a mile, as was the listed race won by Crystal River (GB). There are a couple of exceptions to this general rule, though, as Laugh Aloud (GB)'s stakes successes have been gained at around a mile and Majestic Dubawi (GB) was speedy enough to become a six-furlong Group 3 winner at two.

Seeking Solace raced seven times for Andre Fabre in France and this Darley homebred never tackled less than a mile and a quarter as a 3-year-old. After winning over a mile and a quarter on her seasonal reappearance, Seeking Solace raced exclusively in black-type company, notably finishing a two-length fourth in the G3 Prix Penelope and a length second in the Listed Prix de la Seine over 11 furlongs. Seeking Solace was clearly useful, but it was quickly decided that she was surplus to requirements at the huge Darley operation and she was offered for sale at the Tattersalls 2011 July Sale, carrying her first foal, by Halling. BBA Ireland secured her for 65,000gns. Seeking Solace's dam Flamelet was culled by Darley the following year, when she sold for only i7,500 as a 12-year-old.

He was offered for sale but failed to reach his reserve at 1.8- million RMB ($270,000). The defending champion of the China-Australia Cup was confronted with the first rainy raceday of the Yulong International Racing Tournament since 2017 and was defeated by Club Star (Aus) (lot 52), a 7-year-old son of Starcraft (NZ).

But the topper's thunder was stolen in the inaugural 800,000 RMB ($117,000) Inglis Cup by the bought-in Ji Di (Aus) (lot 19). The 3-year-old son of Artie Schiller is owned by Yulong and the winner's prize of 500,000 RMB eclipses the 420,000 RMB at which he was unsold. With purses of 2.8-million RMB ($400,000), the Sept. 1 raceday is the richest in mainland China. The first two races, the Inglis China-Australia Cup and Inglis Cup, are sponsored by Inglis. Andrew Munce, the COO of Inglis, attended the meeting and said, "Mr. Zhang has been a great supporter of our company in Australia and we express our great thanks to him. We would also like to express our thoughts and congratulate him on the amazing job he's done up here, building this complex. This racecourse is amazing and world-class and as good as anywhere else in the world." The third race is the 200,000 RMB ($30,000) Tattersalls European 2YO S. The fourth and fifth races are both worth 600,000 RMB ($88,000) and sponsored by Yulong. These two races are the Yulong Breeders' Cup and the Yulong Derby.

TAK: I think the Oakleigh Plate with Russian Revolution (Snitzel) was a milestone victory for CHC and partners. A long-term plan was set to buy yearling colts and turn them into champion sprinters we want to stand at stud. Russian Revolution was secured in our first year of planning such a project and to achieve it with such a high-quality colt was especially satisfying.

Our second five-year plan also sees CHC continue its focus on the China Equine Cultural Festival (CECF). This event promotes cultural exchange and business networking under the banner of "Bringing the World to China, China to The World." Since 2013, it has been hosted in China in Hohhot, Shanghai, Wuhan and Ordos. In 2015, it was hosted internationally for the first time in Singapore.

Going forward, I can see CHC having a strong presence in both Australia and the United States and in trying to help forge stronger relations between the industries in China and these countries. Centres like Australia should be encouraged to proactively contribute to China's emerging industry, especially with knowledge sharing. Having legislation in place that supports educational facilities like TAFE NSW and industry bodies like Racing NSW should be encouraged. These organizations want to help educate industry participants from countries like China but are challenged by unfriendly visa policies. But it is also important to acknowledge those organizations that continue to be leaders in this field through their proactive approaches. The Australian Turf Club, Inglis and Magic Millions have been wonderful supporters of clubs like CHC in both Australia and in China and that support is vital to grow interest and participation in all levels of Australia's industry. Praise should also be given to private companies like Horserail who have supported the growth of the industry in China. Last year Thoroughbred Breeders' Australia also brought Chinese to Australia on a scholarship and that was a positive step forward. Educational opportunities through knowledge sharing cannot be underestimated; these steps must continue to be encouraged and applauded.

TDN AusNZ: Has Justify (USA) (Scat Daddy {USA}) winning the Triple Crown in the CHC colours fully sunk in yet?

TAK: The impact of Justify winning the Triple Crown in both WinStar and CHC colours is immeasurable. It was a big deal to win the 2017 Kentucky Oaks with Abel Tasman (USA) (Quality Road {USA}) in our silks but Justify's run to glory was at a level we have never experienced before and may never experience again. In 2015, we broke ground by sending Thoroughbreds from Mainland China to America. The value of this was reinforced when Beat of the Drum won at Santa Anita and became the first horse from China to win in the U.S. That triumph stirred a lot of emotion and encouraged members to look to race in America in CHC silks. Beat of the Drum was an ambassador; if not for her, we may never have raced Abel Tasman or Justify. Justify's Triple Crown triumph has elevated CHC to a level in America that is beyond our expectation and for that we will always be thankful. It also helped promote American racing to our members and, in time, the impact of that will play out with greater involvement at all levels in the U.S. industry. I fully expect more Chinese will participate in the U.S. because Justify won the Triple Crown in CHC=s silks. š ›
