MONDAY, AUGUST 24, 2020 RUSHING FALL NIPS MEAN NO MORE DOUBTS, MAXIMUM SECURITY IS BACK MARY TO GIVE BROWN The Week in Review, by Bill Finley When Maximum Security (New Year=s Day) had to fight his FIFTH STRAIGHT DIANA way to a narrow victory in the GII San Diego H., it was fair to question whether or not this was the same horse that had been so outstanding throughout his career for trainer Jason Servis. Yes, he won that day, but the dominance and brilliance he had shown on so many occasions for a trainer who was subsequently indicted for allegedly doping his horses was not there. Then again, it seemed unwise to write him off after one race. His trip in the San Diego was not ideal as he broke on top, led and then was taken back off the pace to avoid a speed duel before coming on again in the stretch to narrowly prevail. It was also his first race in five months and trainer Bob Baffert said after the fact that he only had the horse 80% cranked.

The win also gave trainer Chad Brown a remarkable fifth consecutive score in the Diana and sixth overall. Named a >TDN Rising Star= for her impressive debut victory at Belmont three seasons ago, the e Five Racing Thoroughbreds colorbearer backed that distinction up with a victory in the GI Breeders= Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf. Reeling off a trio of Grade I triumphs in the Queen Elizabeth II Challenge Cup S., Longines Just A Game S. and Coolmore Jenny Wiley S. from fall of 2018 to last spring, she couldn=t quite go with champion stablemate Sistercharlie (Ire) (Myboycharlie {Ire}) when runner-up in last year=s Diana. Producing her only dud thus far with a fourth in the GI First Lady S. to close out her 4-year-old campaign, the bay bounced back with a conquest of the GIII Beaugay S. in her seasonal bow before a successful, course-record-setting title defense in the Jenny Wiley last out. Favored per usual, though not by a large margin as Mean Mary attracted robust interest as the close second choice, Rushing Fall broke sharply following a gate delay that resulted in the late scratch of longshot Secret Message (Hat Trick {Jpn}).

Moving up to the leader=s flank as the quintet bunched up through three-quarters in 1:11.90, she drew on even terms nearing the lane and the top pair sped away from the other three soon after straightening for home. Sticking her nose in front for the first time at the sixteenth pole, Rushing Fall narrowly did the better work from there and struck the wire a neck to the good, securing her 11th success in 14 career trips to the post. It was 2 1/2 lengths back to Sistercharlie in third. Rushing Fall | Sarah Andrew AShe knows how to win. She's a remarkable horse,@ Brown said. AThis is a horse that has won Grade Is in four straight years. This is very rare company to do this. She's a horse of a lifetime for anybody--for an owner, for a trainer, for racing. We're very fortunate that [e Five=s] Bob Edwards put her back in training. Her last race of the year last year was not good, she's worth a lot of money and they could easily have sold her and bred her. They gave her the time off and we sent her down to Stonestreet in Ocala like we do every winter where they do a fantastic job and then my team got a hold of her and took it from there. They executed like they always have, and the filly really came through. She's special.@ The final running time of 1:45.88 represented the third-fastest clocking in the 82-year history of the Diana, behind Hard Not to Like (Hard Spun)=s 1:45.22 in 2015 and Hall of Famer Waya (Fr) (Faraway Son)=s 1:45.40 in 1978. AThe plan was to go to the lead,@ Castellano said. AI broke out of the gate and tried to send to dictate the pace, but Mean Mary never took up and tried to take the lead.@ Cont. p4 RUSHING FALL made it back-to-back Grade 1 wins and remained perfect this season with a sensational victory in Sunday’s 1 $500,000 Diana S. (G1) at Saratoga, getting 1 /8 miles on turf in 1:45.88, the 3rd -fastest time in the 82-year history of the race. She now has 6 G1 wins and is a G1 winner each year she has raced from ages two to five. Congratulations to all connections: Owner: e Five Racing Thoroughbreds Breeder: Fred W. Hertrich III & John D.

AToday, we were very fortunate. I rode her like she was the best filly in the race. She's very tactical. She doesn't have to be on the lead, she can come from behind also, but I didn't see much other speed in the race, so we tracked the other filly every single step of the way and when I asked her, she responded. She knows how to win. I'm so lucky to ride her because she's one of the best fillies I've rode in my life.@ AIt means a lot,@ Brown added of his fifth straight Diana win. AThis is a very important race that we point for every year and we've been fortunate through the years to have horses that really fit.
