Working with famous stablemate Funny Cide (Distorted Humor), the Barclay Tagg trainee went five furlongs in a bullet :59 4/5. AIt was perfect and just what I wanted,@ Tagg said Wednesday. AI wanted him to work on both turns, so we went from the half-mile pole to the mile pole. I wanted to work him in company and there aren=t many I could send with him other than Funny Cide. I knew >Funny= would get a little tired at the end and >Nobiz= went past him and he didn=t go over on him. He doesn=t lug in in the mornings. I don=t know why he=s done it in his races.@ Nobiz Like Shobiz, coming off a third-place effort in the Mar. 3 GII Fountain of Youth S., is preparing for the Apr. 7 GI Wood Memorial S. at Aqueduct. The colt is expected to ship to New York on Apr. 5. Plans for Kentucky Derby winner Funny Cide, off since running fourth in the Oct. 21 Empire Classic, are still up in the air. AHe=s doing great and he looks great,@ Tagg said of the chestnut gelding. AI=ve only got three works into him, though. The plan was to start on the turf [at Gulfstream], but I=ve got to wait a little longer.@ Ravel (Fusaichi Pegasus), winner of the Feb. 3 GIII Sham S., has been knocked off the Kentucky Derby trail with what looks like the beginnings of a fracture in his left front cannon bone. The colt had been preparing for the Apr. 7 GI Santa Anita Derby when he appeared Aa little off in his left front@ over the weekend, trainer Todd Pletcher told Daily Racing Form. AWe can=t find anything on the x-rays, but the feeling, based on the nuclear Ravel Benoit scintigraphy, is that he=s starting to develop a fracture and it would turn into a condylar fracture if we breezed him,@ Pletcher said. AIt=s a tough blow. He=s obviously a talented horse, but it wasn=t meant to be.@ Ravel will likely miss three months of training, but surgery is not needed. With Ravel=s absence, Pletcher may start GI Santa Anita Oaks winner Rags and Riches (A.P. Indy) in the Santa Anita Derby. AShe=ll breeze this week and then we=ll decide,@ Pletcher said.

"Sixties Icon is a non-runner in the Sheema Classic," the Newmarket trainer told official website <a href="/goto?url=http://www.jeremynoseda.com" target="_blank">www.jeremynoseda.com</a>. "After consultation with his owners Paul and Susan Roy, we just felt that putting him through a hard preparation at this stage of the season would not be ideal. We have decided that his first main objective of the year will be the Coronation Cup and, all being well, we are hoping to start him off in the John Porter at Newbury. The plan would then be to head on either to the [G2] Jockey Club S. at Newmarket or the [G3] Ormonde S. at Chester." <ul style="display: flex;"><li style="flex:1">Monzante </li><li style="flex:1">Maria=s Mon </li></ul>War Chant Point Given More Than Ready Mrs Fritiani Hay Yoshinori Sakae K Abdulla Godolphin Prime Equestrian Rallying Cry Seal Point Traffic Guard Victory Tetsuni Gone West ETISALAT THOROUGHBREDS GODOLPHIN MILE-G2, $1,000,000, 4yo/up, 1600m HORSE Boston Lodge (GB) Grand Lodge <ul style="display: flex;"><li style="flex:1">SIRE </li><li style="flex:1">OWNER </li></ul>Fawzi Abdulla Nass Court Masterpiece (GB) Polish Precedent Godolphin Dixie Meister Fusaichi Richard (Jpn) Kurofune Gharir (Ire) Machiavellian Gold for Sale (Arg) Not for Sale (Arg) <ul style="display: flex;"><li style="flex:1">Holzmeister </li><li style="flex:1">Gary A Tanaka </li></ul>Fusaro Sekiguchi Sh Hamdan Bin Rashid Al Maktoum Sultan Al Kabeer Stud Piccollino Impossible Ski (Brz) Jack Sullivan Killybegs (Ire) Merlerault Ski Champ Belong to Me Int’l Carnival Partnership Orpen Godolphin Royal Academy Malcolm Parrish Summerhill Stud Synd & Clements Nelore Pora (Brz) Romarin (Brz) Stud AML Post times listed in local time unless noted Mullins Bay (GB) Machiavellian 8 Copyright Thoroughbred Daily News.

"Frankie [Dettori] rode the filly in a breeze with a companion, she went extremely well and his view was that she had strengthened up an awful lot. She worked on the grass, which was the softer side of good. We know she is better on good ground, but, because she is a stronger filly, it wouldn't necessarily stop her running if the ground was soft." P C L A S S I C C O R N E R P GUINEAS ENTRIES REVEALED Teofilo (Ire) (Gali- leo {Ire}), Europe's highest-rated juvenile of 2006, heads the 76 three-year-olds which have been nominated to the G1 2000 Guineas at Newmarket May 6, while 70 fillies, including stable companion Finsceal Beo (Ire) (Mr. Greeley), are still on target for the G1 1000 Guineas one day later. "He's in very good form and well on target for Newmarket," trainer Jim Bolger told PA Sport of Teofilo. "He's the same height this year as he was last year, so he hasn't grown [but] he has just filled out. He will go straight to Newmarket and that will tell us where we go after, but obviously we will have Epsom in mind. The Guineas is often the best trial for the Derby anyway." Aidan O'Brien's Ballydoyle barn, successful four times in Britain's first Classic of the year, boasts the highest number of entries for the Stan James-sponsored event with 18 and is also numerically strongest for the fillies' BEO AN OAKS NO GO Ante-post favorite Finsceal Beo (Ire) (Mr. Greeley) was the most notable absentee when the list of 73 nominees for the G1 Vodafone Oaks was revealed for the June 1 Classic yesterday. "We just don't see her as a mile-and-a-half filly," trainer Jim Bolger told PA Sport. "She won over a mile last year, and we are not ruling out 10 furlongs, but we will know more when she has run in two equivalent with a current team of six. Teofilo has maintained ante-post fawell-run races over a mile and, hopefully, they will be the English and Irish “We run our clients’ ads in the TDN because we voritism for the 2000 Guineas, but dual Group 1 winner Dutch Art (GB) (Medicean {GB}) has eased closer in the betting since the recent retirement Guineas. If the ground was good at Leopardstown we could go there for a prep, but if not, she will go straight to Newmarket." The G1 Prix Marcel of Holy Roman Emperor (Ire). "I was very frightened of Holy Roman Emperor, as he was in the same mould as Dutch Art," trainer Peter Chapple-Hyam told Racing Post, adding, "My fellow is on target to run in the [G3] Greenham S., but if the ground is shaping up to be tacky at Newbury he would have a racecourse gallop at Newmarket during the Craven meeting instead." G1 Prix Marcel Boussac winner Finsceal Beo is vying for market supremacy with Sir Robert Ogden's Sander Camillo (Dixie Union) in the 1000 Guineas. Not seen since trouncing the opposition in last July's G2 Cherry Hinton S., the Jeremy Noseda trainee is reported to have worked well in recent weeks. know the people we’re trying to reach read it every day.” Boussac and G2 Rockfel S. winner's surprise omission has paved the way for Juddmonte Farms' G1 Criterium de Saint-Cloud winner Passage of Time (GB) (Dansili {GB}), one of four Henry Cecil-trained possibles, to claim the mantle of new favorite for the ,375,000 contest. Aidan O'Brien is again numerically strongest with seven contenders, including the -Benny Bell Williams, owner, The Bell Group unraced pair All My Loving (Ire) (Sadler's Wells), sister to Oaks runners-up Quarter Moon (Ire) and Yester- day (Ire), and Cherry Hinton (GB) (Green Desert), a half-sister to 2001 Derby hero Galileo (Ire) and Oaksplaced fillies Melikah (Ire) and All Too Beautiful (Ire). <a href="/goto?url=http://www.taylormadestallions.com" target="_blank">www.taylormadestallions.com </a>TDN P HEADLINE NEWS • 3/22/07 • PAGE 5 of 5 (Classic Corner cont.) FOALING NEWS: DERBY ENTRIES UP Entries for the June 2 G1 Vodafone Derby have increased 21 percent as 165 contenders, up from 136 last year, stood their ground at the March 6 forfeit stage, it was announced yesterday. European juvenile highweight Teofilo (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}), winner of last term's G1 National S. and G1 Dewhurst S., retains ante-post favoritism and remains on target for the ,1.25-million contest, Europe's richest race, having also been confirmed a probable for the May 5 G1 2000 Guineas. Aidan O'Brien, successful with Galileo (Ire) in 2001 and High Chaparral (Ire) in 2002, boasts a monster entry of 38, which includes G1 Criterium International victor Mount Nelson (GB) (Rock of Gibraltar {Ire}), G2 Royal Lodge S. hero Admiralofthefleet (Danehill), G2 Beresford S. winner Eagle Mountain (GB) (Rock of Gibraltar {Ire}) and G1 Criterium de Saint-Cloud runner-up Soldier of Fortune (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}). Peter Chapple-Hyam claimed Blue Riband glory with Dr Devious (Ire) in 1992 and the resurgent Newmarket handler holds another strong chance with G1 Racing Post Trophy winner Authorized (Ire) (Montjeu {Ire}) still engaged.

THURSDAY, MARCH 22, 2007 FUNDS FOR KHRA, DRUG TESTING HANG IN THE BALANCE by Tom LaMarra, courtesy The Blood-Horse The Kentucky horse racing industry and some state lawmakers are rallying around legislation that would spare racetracks the cost of drug testing and provide millions of dollars a year to fund the Kentucky Horse Racing Authority. The bill is expected to be discussed in Afree@ conference committee--that means changes can be made to the document--March 26 or March 27, the last two days of the Kentucky General Assembly session for 2007. Since it was first offered in January, the bill has been subject to much negotiation and amendment. The bill, introduced in the House of Representatives because it deals with budgetary issues, would provide about $5 million a year in a revolving fund to support the KHRA, which in a recent state audit was said to be under-funded. The money would come from the pari-mutuel excise tax after statutory deductions for the Kentucky Thoroughbred Development Fund, Kentucky Equine Drug Research Council, and the University of Louisville equine business program are made. An alternative also being discussed would suspend racetrack license assessments for another year to raise about $1.2 million for the KHRA. A similar plan was enacted in 2006 but only for one year. Thoroughbred tracks pay $3,500 and Standardbred tracks $1,750 per live racing day. Republican Sen. Damon Thayer, an advocate for using the about $5 million from the pari-mutuel tax to support the KHRA, said the proposal stems from the state audit that suggested the authority needs more money and personnel to properly perform its duties.
