CALIFORNIA FILLIES FINISHONE-TWO IN RAVEN RUN
Alan Klein and Philip Lebherz=s Miss Sunset (Into Mischief)
bested Chalon (Dialed In) by a half-length for a California one-
two finish while registering her first graded victory in the
GII Lexus Raven Run S. at Keeneland Saturday. Away alertly from
post 11, the 3-1 chalk let Chalon edge ahead and pressed from a
close-up second, breathing down her competitor=s neck through
opening fractions of :22.64 and :45.61. Drawing even with that
foe while running three wide rounding the far turn, the Cal-bred
dueled Chalon down the length of the stretch, kicking clear late
to score. Torrent (Blame), a 59-1 shot, completed the trifecta.
AThis filly is one of the most honest horses I=ve had in a long
time,@ winning trainer Jeff Bonde said. AShe gives it her all every
time. My owners own the mother, and they=ve got some foals
out of her coming [by Smiling Tiger].They also own [MGSW sire]
Smiling Tiger and thought it was in their interest to take a
chance to get graded-placed.@
AWe got a perfect post for [rating],@ jockey Julien Leparoux
said. AI let her break and left her alone. She was very easy to
rate, and she finished up very strong. I talked to Mike Smith
[who was aboard for her last two wins] and he told me I had a
great chance. When Mike tells you that, [you know] she has a
big chance@

Pedigree Notes:
Miss Sunset=s dam Tuscan Sunset won three of seven starts
and was claimed out of her final start, a win at Los Alamitos in
April 2010 by Stanley Lee Howard for just $2,000. She produced
her first foal in 2012 and was later sold for $36,000 with the
Raven Run winner in utero at the 2013 Keeneland November
sale. Her 2015 foal by Smiling Tiger passed away, but she
produced a filly by that stallion in 2016 and a colt by the same
sire May 7 of this year. Miss Sunset hails from the family of
MGSW multimillionaire Prayer for Relief (Jump Start). Her sire
Into Mischief is currently the leading sire of 3-year-olds in North
America this year with 20 black-type horses and 11 black-type
winners headlined by MGISW and GI Breeders= Cup Dirt Mile
contender Practical Joke.

HAVE YOU TAKEN THE BREEDERS= CUP
AFTERCARE PLEDGE? By T.D. Thornton
Effective equine-care
fundraisers have three things in
common: 1) Ease of donor
participation; 2) A donation
model in which 100% of the
proceeds benefits the charity; 3)
A shared, excitement-based
communal rooting interest
among all participants.
New Vocations, the nation=s
largest rehabilitation and
placement program for retired
racehorses, clearly has that
trifecta covered.
Now it=s up to owners and
trainers who have horses aiming
for the world championship
races at Del Mar Nov. 3 and 4 to step up and accept the ninth
annual Breeders= Cup pledge.
Here=s how it works: Owners and trainers of Breeders= Cup
entrants voluntarily pledge in advance to donate a portion of
the purse earnings of their
horse(s) to New Vocations.
Donors declare the amount as a
percentage point of their own
choosing, generally from
one-half of 1% to 10%. This
strategy in past pledge drives
has netted New Vocations
anywhere from $40,000 to
$120,000 during the course of
each year=s two-day Breeders=
Cup event.
AIt=s my favorite fundraiser
because 100% of the proceeds
go to the New Vocations
program,@ said Anna Ford, the
Thoroughbred program director

for New Vocations. AThere=s no overhead to it, because there=s
no big event that we have to put on. The Breeders= Cup puts on
the event. We get the pledges and the commitments, and then
we just sit back and see how the horses do--they=re the show.@
Last year=s windfall might be difficult to top, but that won=t
stop Ford and her team of volunteers from trying: The 2016
Breeders= Cup resulted in two winning horses whose owners had
taken the New Vocations pledge.
ANormally, we=re lucky if we get one winner, but last year was
a really exciting year, with Classic Empire (Pioneerof the Nile)
pledged by owners John and Debby Oxley and Tourist (Tiznow)
pledged by owners WinStar Farm, Wachtel Stable, and Gary
Barber,@ Ford said. AWe always hope that we=re going to have
winners, but we have had years where we don=t and are
fortunate just to have some horses hit the board. But it really
makes a difference to us when they do win, so that was huge.@
The New Vocations donations are tax-deductible, Ford noted.
The online pledge page is here.
AWe=re just starting to talk to people, those who=ve pledged in
the past, while also reaching out to new people to educate them
about what the pledge is about,@ said Ford. AAs you know, in
horse racing people can be a little superstitious, not wanting to
commit to the pledge until they know they=re in the race. They
sometimes like to pre-enter first, and once the pre-entries are in
then we see a flurry of activity.@
New Vocations was founded in 1992 by Ford=s mother, Dot
Morgan, as both a kindness to retiring Thoroughbreds and
Standardbreds and as a convenience for those industries, which
at that point had no established national placement
organizations to assist with re-homing and retraining.
New Vocations has since blossomed into a network of
multi-state stabling and retraining centers in Lexington,
Kentucky; Hummelstown, Pennsylvania, and in both Laurelville
Page 11

and Marysville, Ohio. A new location, in Ballston Spa, New York,
(not too far from Saratoga Race Course) just opened last year.
Ford said New Vocations can house a maximum of 140 retired
Thoroughbreds and Standardbreds at a time. About 90% of
horses are able to be re-homed as Ariding sound,@ she said, most
within 60 days of being retrained.
AWhen we started New Vocations, the word >aftercare= didn=t
even exist in the industry,@ Ford said. AIt=s only been in the last
five to seven years where the industry has really taken a turn
and focused on the importance of aftercare. Owners and
trainers are also realizing more about their responsibility to
make sure that when their horses are retired, they get into the
right situation.
AThere=s definitely been a huge raise in the awareness that
everyone does need to do their part. It was a slow process up to
about 10 years ago, but the last 10 years we=ve seen great
change in the right direction. So the need [for accredited
aftercare facilities] is definitely rising because more people want
to make sure their horses are placed in a proper organization
where they know that the horses are going to be transitioned
properly [into post-racing careers].@
When a horse is accepted into New Vocations, Ford said the
first step is a thorough physical evaluation, which leads to a plan
for rehab. The rehab phase can last anywhere from 30 days up
to a year before horses move over to the training side of the
barn, where they learn second-career basics like
walk/trot/canter, and, if able, small jumps to test for potential
sport horse ability.
Prospective adoptive owners must pass an extensive
application and background check that screens for
horsemanship experience and the financial ability to care
long-term for a retired racer. New Vocations follows re-homed
horses closely, requiring updates from new owners, which are
then passed along to the previous owners who donated the
horses into the program.
ASince we=ve expanded with our Lexington facility, which
we=ve been doing over the past two years, we=ve actually
increased our intake, and we are on track to take in over 500
horses this year, and our adoptions will be close to 400 this
year,@ Ford said.
Ford underscored that one generous (and sporting) aspect
about a number of the owners and trainers who pledge
donations is that even if their horses don=t bring home
substantial purse earnings in a Breeders= Cup race, some of
them still honor the pledge anyway.
AIf they don=t win or hit the board, they don=t have to send a
pledge,@ Ford said. ABut we=ve had people still follow through
and send us a check even when their horse doesn=t run well
enough to hit the board.@

Way Jose to win the Grand National | Tod Marks

MR. HOT STUFF RULES GRAND NATIONALby Don Clippinger
The $400,000 G1 Grand National, America's richest
steeplechase race, took shape Saturday as a contest between
America's best and three overseas invaders, two from England
and one from Ireland. On this day, America rules.
At the finish, three of the four American competitors were
inches apart, and the winner with a valiant last effort was Gillian
Johnston's Mr. Hot Stuff (Tiznow), a Triple Crown contestant in
2009 whose last previous Grade 1 win was in 2013 and his last
prior win was in 2015.
The invaders for the Far Hills Races' signature race never took
a serious role on a warm, glowing afternoon in central New
Jersey. When the flag dropped, Mr. Hot Stuff went to the lead
under Irish jockey Danny Mullins, and he alternated on the lead
for more than two miles with Buttonwood Farm's All the Way
Jose (Senor Swinger), who had gone all the way in Belmont
Park's G1 Lonesome Glory H. exactly a month earlier.
Mr. Hot Stuff always has had the stuff to be in the game,
including a third in the 2009 GI Santa Anita Derby before he was
acquired for jump racing. But expectations were that he would
run out of run in the stretch. Mr. Hot Stuff, at age 11, was
determined to prove that he still was hot stuff.
For a few strides, it looked as though Modem (GB) (Motivator
{GB}) would blow past in the stretch and finally put to rest
recent memories that he had finished second in all three of his
prior U.S. starts for owner Robert Kinsley and Maryland-based
trainer Elizabeth Voss.
But both All the Way Jose and Mr. Hot Stuff were going well
and refused to surrender. With Modem, they flew the last fence
together. A few strides out from the finish line, All the Way Jose
wavered ever so slightly under leading jockey Darren Nagle, and
Modem took over under Jack Doyle.
But Mullins kept working on Mr. Hot Stuff, who kept moving
forward and refused to concede defeat. In the shadow of the
wire, he found just enough to get past Modem and win by a
nose. All the Way Jose finished third, another nose farther back.
On an afternoon that recalled late summer more than
mid-autumn, Mr. Hot Stuff rekindled tangible memories of his
previous glory days, when he won the 2013 G1 A. P. Smithwick
Memorial.
The Smithwick Memorial offered promise that Mr. Hot Stuff
had finally mastered the jumping sport, but he missed the 2014
season, came back to run well in 2015, and then missed all of
last year. He started this year well, sputtered into the summer,
and was fifth behind All the Way Jose in the Lonesome Glory.
The win, worth $240,000, raised Mr. Hot Stuff's 2017 tally to
$251,100 and all but assured him the 2017 Lonesome Glory
Award as the National Steeplechase Association's leading
earner. He also will be a factor in the Eclipse Award voting after
the Grand National, the year's final Grade 1 race over fences.
The win also was highly significant for his trainer, Jack Fisher,
who had a win and a second in previous races. Those results and
the Grand National raised his 2017 earnings to $1,182,050, a
National Steeplechase Association record.
Fisher had held the earnings record, set in 2008 at $1,156,907.
He has exceeded the million-dollar mark two other times, in
2015 and 2016, and is the only trainer to break into seven
figures.

Twisted Tom led home a 1-2-3 finish for sophomores while
earning his third-straight stakes success since returning to state-
bred company. Hard held early but tugging his way up to trade
jabs with Control Group from the two path, the chestnut
seemed to be going better of the two after six panels in 1:12.37.
Control Group hung tough to midstretch, but Twisted Tom had
too much late and pulled clear in the final sixteenth.
AHe's the kind of horse where you can put him wherever you
want, he's very straightforward,@ said rider Javier Castellano.
AHe went easy and comfortable today. He picked it up at the
end. We had a lucky trip and we had the opportunity to get it
done.@
Twisted Tom capped a previous three-race winning skein in
Laurel=s Federico Tesio S. Apr. 22, after which Cobra Farm sold a
part interest in him and he was supplemented for the GI
Belmont S. A distant sixth that day, the gelding has been in
career form since dropping down a bit in class. He annexed the
New York Derby at Finger Lakes July 22, and was a comfortable
winner of the Albany S. at Saratoga Aug. 25.
AMy initial plan was to rest him at this point,@ trainer Chad
Brown said of future plans. AHe has had a long hard campaign,
started off his winter here, and sooner or later you have to give
him a break. But I will discuss that with the ownership group and
go from there. And in the weeks to come we will make a final
decision.@
The winner=s dam, a half-sister to MGSW Incurable Optimist
(Cure the Blues), has a yearling filly by Fed Biz and most recently
visited Freud. Click for the Equibase.com chart or VIDEO,

Evaluator lit up to the tote board for a career high while

first maiden winner over the Saratoga lawn Aug. 9, he rolled a
pair of sevens in the GIII With Anticipation S. Aug. 30 and the
GIII Pilgrim S. Sept. 30. Racing well of the pace through
contested fractions of :23.07 and :45.77 in this one, he began to
wind up on the far turn and kicked home nicely in the stretch to
nail Big Gemmy on the wire. "He's always worked very well on
the dirt,@ winning trainer Michael Dilger said. AWe went to the
turf looking for the distance. We thought that was going to be
the most important factor for the horse at the time during the
summer, then he ran so well. But he's always worked well on
the dirt, and it's all about the trip for him. We'll enjoy today."

Berning Rose | Adam Coglianese
Berning Rose took her seven-panel Saratoga unveiling by five
lengths Aug. 30, but settled for second behind Held Accountable
in this venue=s Joseph A. Gimma S. Sept. 20. Fastest from the
gate, but taken in hand and kept out wide, the homebred
settled in fourth into the turn perched four deep. She began to
ratchet up the pressure midway along the bend and put a head
in front before they hit the quarter pole. Held Accountable came
with a big run in the lane, but Berning Rose=s edge proved
insurmountable as that pair reported home far in front of the
rest of the field. AThe more we can get her to settle, the more
[she will improve],@ offered trainer Dominick Schettino. AShe
was a little close up front today, but that is her running style.
She has a natural speed, but I think she will go a little longer as
she learns to settle and relax... When she broke sharp, I figured
Kendrick [Carmouche] could get her to settle. She is easy like
that. She is not a hard horse, she is not a run-off type. She is
easy to relax once you take a hold of her, but she was ready for
the race today." The winner has a yearling half-sister by Alpha
and a weanling half-sister by Normandy Invasion. Her dam
returned to Alpha again this breeding season. Click for the

Well-supported at the windows for this stakes debut, she
established early control and dug down deep in the stretch to
fend off 41-1 shot Might Be. The winner=s dam=s only career
victory came at 75-1 in the 2008 Maid of the Mist S., also run on

she could handle being pressured,@ trainer Charlton Baker said.

Fifty Five, previously campaigned by Empire Equines LLC and

failed to get her picture taken in four subsequent attempts,
including a third-place finish in the GIII Lake George S. July 21
and a fifth-place finish in the GII Sands Point S. Sept. 16. Back
with state-breds for the first time since earning her diploma at
the Big A last November, Fifty Five bided her time at the back of
the pack and exploded in the stretch to deliver as the slight
favorite. "It really set up well for her,@ winning trainer Chad
Brown said. AWe were trying to revert back to tactics that
worked in the past--one run. The past couple of starts with her,
we tried to get too much early position, and she's better making
that one run. The filly really showed up today.@ Brown added,
"I'll speak with Mr. [Peter] Brant. I'll probably just rest her now
for the winter and bring her back next year, but I'll confirm that
with him." Click for the Equibase.com chart or VIDEO,

GII Gallant Bloom H. here Sept. 24, the bay was away awkwardly
and caboosed the field early. Practically detached from her
competition around the bend, she came alive nearing the
straight. Scraping paint while full of run at the top of the stretch,
she kept on coming to outkick favored Quezon. AShe ran a great
race,@ said winning conditioner Charlie Baker. AIt was a beautiful
ride. I think Joe [Bravo], third time riding her, figured her out. He
figured out where she needs to make her run from... She was
training great. She always trains great, but she was hanging.
Today, she came through with her run. He [Bravo] timed it really

the back of a fading foe while clearly full of run. Fellow firster
Missive (Alternation) kicked to the front and opened up in

SMILING CAUSEWAY (f, 3, Giant's Causeway--Shandra Smiles
{SW}, by Cahill Road) was second behind recent GIII Franklin
County S. heroine Morticia (Twirling Candy) in Laurel=s Stormy
Blues S. in July, and annexed a Delaware optional claimer on the
dirt Aug. 5 before running into another buzzsaw in the form of
last Saturday=s Pebbles S. heroine Rubilinda (Frankel {GB}).
Smiling Causeway was a close second to that >TDN Rising Star= in
Belmont=s six-furlong Christiecat S. on the sod Sept. 8. Installed
the 5-2 favorite for this, the chestnut out-footed a foe to her
inside to get clear and to the fence into the turn. She spurted
away at the top the stretch, but struggled a bit with her lead
changes and was saved by the line as Excessivespending
(Shackleford) surged late to miss by a half-length. The winner, a
$400,000 KEENOV weanling, is a half to Smiling Tiger (Hold That
Tiger), MGISW, $1,480,704; and >TDN Rising Star= She=s a Tiger
(Tale of the Cat), Ch. 2yo Filly, GISW, $727. She has an unraced

SEEKING THE SOUL (c, 4, Perfect Soul {Ire}--Seeking the Title
{GSW & GISP, $273,916}, by Seeking the Gold), an optional
claiming winner at the Spa this summer, entered off a third-
place finish in the GIII Lukas Classic at Churchill Sept. 30. Backed
at 2-1 here, he sat in a nice spot in fourth, made a four-wide
blitz on the far turn and turned on the burners in the stretch to
win going away by an eye-catching nine lengths while
establishing a new track record. Society Beau (Curlin) was

homebred tucked in at the fence in midpack and slowly worked

after six panels in 1:14.99, she swarmed the pacesetter in upper

a barn that excels with its second-time starters, Elusive Truth
was hustled to the front and set a contested pace through an
opening quarter in :22.78. The bay turned for home with a pair
of runners stacked to her outside, but never said die from along
the rail in the stretch and shook clear late to graduate by 1 3/4

Shotgun Kowboy proved the crowning moment of a big night
for his owner/breeder/trainer C. R. Trout with a second victory
in three years in this richest events on the Oklahoma Classics
program. Trout also won the Distaff Sprint was placed in two
other events.
Able to recover from a slight bobble at the break, the long
odds-on favorite alternated on the front end while holding his
spot at the rail through reasonable early fractions. Allowed to
stride into the lead with fully 3 1/2 furlongs to travel, the classy
dark bay shot further in front off the home turn and scampered
away to another handy success to run his local record to 9-7-1-1.
Winner of the 2015 GIII Oklahoma Derby, Shotgun Kowboy
was runner-up in the GIII Texas Mile, GIII Lone Star Park H. and
GIII Cornhusker H. in a winless six-race campaign last season. A
dual allowance scorer over the winter at Oaklawn Park, he was
fourth in the GIII Steve Sexton Mile May 7 and was having his

Gianna=s Dream won this event 12 months ago three starts off
a $25,000 claim and she successfully defended her title with a
minimum of fuss.
Content to sit the box seat from third behind a sedate tempo,
the heavy chalk tracked inside on a long rein from Tyler
Gaffalione into and around the far turn. Gianna=s Dream popped
off the fence and into the three path to challenge off the final
corner, swept in front with better than a furlong to race and was
ridden out hands and heels to a facile success.
A narrow allowance winner at Laurel July 125, Gianna=s Dream
set the pace before weakening slightly to finish third by 1 1/4
lengths in the GIII Violet S. at Monmouth Aug. 19. The bay
validated 1-2 favoritism to post a first non-restricted black-type
success when last seen in this track=s Ricks Memorial S. Sept. 24.
Untamed Beauty is a half-sister to MSP Forty Gran (El Gran

Cutting back from the nine-panel GIII Oklahoma Derby Sept.
24, B Squared offered a pick-me-up Saturday for his
connections, who lost talented MGSW Irap earlier this week.
Shuffled out slightly while in between horses in midpack heading
down the hill, the homebred spun wide into the stretch and
finished with a rush once he switched leads to power past
frontrunner Richard=s Boy late. A winner of the grassy one-mile
Silky Sullivan S. in his third start last April, the bay was second
and third, respectively, in the GIII Affirmed S. and GIII Los
Alamitos Derby on the dirt over the summer. Far back in the
GIII West Virginia Derby Aug. 5, he was eighth beaten more than
20 lengths last time at Remington. The winner has yearling and
weanling full-sisters, and his dam was bred back to Square Eddie
again in 2017. ASquare Eddie will get all of our mares, which is
probably in the 30s, and maybe just a handful after that,@
owner/breeder Paul Reddam noted. AHe=s priced so that not too
many people come to him. It=s kind of an odd strategy, but the
farm he=s at can only handle so much. If you want to breed to
him, great. If you don=t, then you have to beat him.@ Click for

June 17. Beaten a nose in a Del Mar optional claimer July 21, she
was trying dirt for the first time here off a 10th-place run in the
GI Del Mar Oaks Aug. 19. The 9-5 second choice broke
awkwardly from the rail, but gathered herself to sit at the back
of the main body of the short field while under a pretty good
hold. Ridden along for more as they approached the straight,
the chestnut kicked on outside of a pair of rivals and cleared off
to score by 1 3/4 lengths. La Force (Ger) (Power {GB}), who had
also done most of her previous running on the lawn, was
second. The winner, a $200,000 KEESEP yearling, is a half to

Mr Havercamp steamed down the center of the E. P. Taylor
turf course to record a second restricted stakes success in
Saturday=s Bunty Lawless S.
Held up towards the rear of the field on the backstretch run,
the homebred was ridden cold on the turn, still last but one but
clearly full of run. Pulled out and around rivals by Eurico Rosa Da
Silva, Mr Havercamp descended on the leaders to wrest
command outside the furlong marker and galloped away to win
in dominating fashion.
AThis horse is a very, very nice horse,@ said Da Silva after the
race. AI went there full of confidence. He did train very, very
well. Catherine [Day Phillips] brought him very sharp today. He
was behind horses and it was a little bit hard to relax him
because he wanted to go a little bit earlier, but there was a wall
of horses and we just sat behind and when I turned him loose he
just broke from there. He=s going to be special and he=s in the
right hands.@

CRACKSMAN CRUSHESCHAMPION FOES
Fittingly staged against the backdrop of AStorm Brian,@
Saturday=s G1 Qipco Champion S. at Ascot witnessed its own
equine tempest as Anthony Oppenheimer=s Cracksman (GB)
(Frankel {GB}) lorded it over some class rivals to make his much-
loved sire=s first European Group 1 a special affair. In the race
that not only capped the golden campaign of Frankel but which
also played host to the greatest moment in the career of his
brother Noble Mission (GB), the family momentum well and
truly carried over to the homebred from Hascombe and Valiant
Studs. Backed into 13-8 favouritism despite lacking a top-level
success, the bay was always comfortable just off the pace and
when sent forward into the lead by Frankie Dettori turning for
home responded in his sire=s formidable and generous-galloping
style to open up. Alone and exposed in the gusts up the middle
of Ascot=s expanse, Cracksman was as professional as he was
remorseless and by the time he pounded past the line he had
stretched his advantage over the Irish Champion runner-up
Poet=s Word (Ire) (Poet=s Voice {GB}) to a commanding seven
lengths, with Highland Reel (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) upholding the
standard in third. AHe=s a very talented horse and Frankie rode
him positively and beautifully in the straight,@ John Gosden said
of the colt who at last showed the brilliance that had long had
connections dreaming of 2018.
AEnable and him will be fun. You can now see why I didn=t
want him to run in the Arc, as there=s not much between them.
This is great for Frankel, it=s his first Group 1 winner in Europe in
the race he won himself.@
Introduced in the same Newmarket mile maiden as his
stablemate Stradivarius (Ire) (Sea the Stars {Ire}) almost exactly
a year before this crowning moment, Cracksman served instant
notice that he was one to be kept in mind for the following
year=s Derby and his road to the blue riband aptly began at
Epsom six months later. Getting up late despite a slow start and
trouble in running to deny the high-class and ill-fated Permian
(Ire) (Teofilo {Ire}) by a short head in the 10-furlong Investec
Derby Trial on Apr. 26, he faced a crucial crossroads as York=s
G2 Dante S. neared but was taken out of the rain-hit trial which
ultimately franked his quality after Permian ran out a ready
winner.

Cracksman Crushes Champion Foes cont. from p1
While the easy conditions were the key factor in that decision,
his owner-breeder was keen to stress that the dam had relished
testing ground and it was more a matter of timing with Gosden
keen to avoid a slog just over two weeks before the main event.
As a result, Cracksman went to the June 3 G1 Epsom Derby
possessing all the qualities required but lacking essential
conditioning and that told as he came off the bridle early in the
straight before staying on to be a length behind the more
streetwise Wings of Eagles (Fr) (Pour Moi {Ire}) and Cliffs of
Moher (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}). It was the same story again at The
Curragh four weeks later as the bay came under the pump from
Pat Smullen before the straight and galloped on resolutely to be
narrowly denied by Capri (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}). Following a seven-
week chrysalis period, Cracksman re-emerged on good-to-soft
ground in York=s G2 Great Voltigeur on Aug. 23 and it was as
though the real Frankel element had begun to come through as
he put up an unforgettable display. It is well-documented that
Oppenheimer and Gosden had planned to stop at that point and
craft a real 4-year-old program for him, but leaving him alone
was becoming increasingly difficult as he continued to grow in
stature.
After his easy success in the G2 Prix Niel at Chantilly on Sept.
10, he would undoubtedly have gone back there for the big
French autumn test had Enable (GB) (Nathaniel {Ire}) not had
first dibs on that prize and so Ascot became the main focus.
While Oppenheimer continued to pour cold water on
suggestions he might after all be engaged in a major race before
the season=s end, Gosden was plotting the route to the
Champion S. and every day that Cracksman stepped out on to
the Newmarket gallops he further enhanced his prospects of
being here. In confident mood and well aware of what he had in
store, Gosden had committed to running as early as the
Tattersalls October Part 1 Sale, when the going was still an
unknown quantity and his foresight was rewarded by more
British downpours which would compromise the fast-ground
contingent.
Breaking alertly, Cracksman raced in the slipstream of
stablemate Maverick Wave (Elusive Quality) as they raced third
and fourth with Highland Reel taken wide by Ryan Moore in
search of better ground before halfway. Habitual front-runner
Success Days (Ire) (Jeremy) took no prisoners and it was clear by
the end of the back straight as Highland Reel crossed back over
to re-join the pack that only slow-ground specialists need apply.
Sent between Maverick Wave and Success Days and into the
front with three furlongs remaining, he lowered his head in his
sire=s inimitable style and drew away to settle the result fairly
quickly, with the French challenger and surprise package
Recoletos (Fr) (Whipper) looking for a while likely to come off
second best. As Cracksman ground out his wide-margin success
in the kind of glorious isolation Frankel made his trademark, it
was left to Poet=s Word and Highland Reel to provide ballast to
the form at a respectable distance. Cont. p3
“I thought he’d win the race extremely well if thingswent right for him. I’ll be absolutely honest, I didn’t
think he’d win as big as that.”

Qipco British Champion S. cont.
Frankie Dettori, who will face one of the greatest dilemmas of
a jockey in the modern era when the Gosden stable goliaths
eventually clash, was remarkably registering a belated first
Champion success and he said, AThat was amazing. He put a
good field to bed in the manner of a champion. It was a fantastic
feeling and I=ve not got words to describe it. We=ve given him
time to develop and that=s what you=ve got now. He=s been
working so sweetly and he got the success that he deserved. If I
had to choose between him and Enable, I wouldn=t know who to
ride, they are two champions and we go into the winter to
dream. He=s learning and there=s so much more to come from
him.@
Gosden added, AIf he was a middleweight earlier in the season,
he is a light heavyweight now. He=s really progressed and to do
this against older horses, he=s a fast-improving horse. We hope
the horses have a good winter and go through to next year, but
I=ve been around long enough not to count too many chickens. I
thought he=d win the race extremely well if things went right for
him, but a mile and a quarter here and you have to handle the
ground--I=ll be absolutely honest, I didn=t think he=d win as big as
that.@
Sir Michael Stoute was probably relieved he opted to take out
Ulysses (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) with the storm bringing more rain,
but was satisfied that Poet=s Word had earned another second
in a Champion S. AHe=s run well. He=s pretty versatile
ground-wise and trip-wise, but I don=t think he wants the ground
as bad as this,@ he said. AI=m very pleased with him and he=s
been beaten by a very good one today.@ Highland Reel ran a
creditable race after taking the long way round and may
ultimately have put up an ideal prep for his Breeders= Cup Turf
defence. AI=m very happy and he ran a great race,@ Aidan O=Brien
commented. AHe=d like the ground quicker and he=ll probably go
to America next if everything is well.@
Pedigree Notes... Cracksman is now without doubt the best of his sire=s first crop
and like his dam Rhadegunda (GB) (Pivotal {GB}) is getting better
with each racecourse experience. Responsible for the G3 Solario
S. scorer Fantastic Moon (GB) (Dalakhani {Ire}), who was her
first foal, she was also a lover of testing conditions as she proved
when registering her sole black-type success in the Listed Prix
Solitude on her final start. The third dam is the 1000 Guineas
and Sussex S. heroine On the House, whose descendants include
the G2 Royal Lodge S. winner Leo (GB) (Pivotal {GB}) and who is
related to the recently-deceased 1997 G1 Coronation S. winner
Rebecca Sharp (GB) (Machiavellian), as well as the G1 Epsom

WINNING THE ARGUMENT At the end of a year in which Europe=s fillies and mares
marched onward towards world domination, Cheveley Park
Stud=s Persuasive (Ire) (Dark Angel {Ire}) beat up some notable
colts to provide her esteemed owners David and Patricia
Thompson with another
red-letter day in the G1 Queen
Elizabeth II S. at Ascot on
Saturday. Well-supported into
8-1 coming off a second to Roly
Poly (War Front) in what was
thought to be her swansong in
Newmarket=s G1 Sun Chariot S.
a fortnight previously, the grey
raced off the pace under
Frankie Dettori and was
delivered with a rattle to brush
aside the 2-1 favourite
Ribchester (Ire) (Iffraaj {GB})
and win by a length, with a half
length back to Churchill (Ire)
(Galileo {Ire}) in third. AShe travelled so good I couldn=t believe
it, but this ground is so key for her,@ commented the rider who
was gaining a sixth success in the race that first launched him in
1990. AI thought the race was going to be very tough, but she
showed an explosive turn of foot and she put it to bed very
quickly.@
Like Librisa Breeze (GB) (Mount Nelson {GB}), Persuasive has
been seen to be a touch unlucky on occasion since her dominant
display when breaking her black-
type maiden in the Listed
Sandringham H. over this track
and trip at the Royal meeting last
June. Following up with a three-
length defeat of the classy Blond
Me (Ire) (Tamayuz {GB}) in
Sandown=s G3 Atalanta Fillies= S.
in August, she was runner-up to
Alice Springs (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) in
Leopardstown=s G1 Matron S. in
September and was racing for the
first time subsequently when a
staying-on fifth in the G1 Prix
Rothschild at Deauville on July 30.
Finishing with relish again when
third to Hydrangea (Ire) (Galileo
{Ire}) in a Matron that was to have special resonance at this
meeting back at Leopardstown on Sept. 9, she was supposed to

TDN EUROPE/INTERNATIONAL • PAGE 6 OF 20 • THETDN.COM SUNDAY • 22 OCTOBER, 2017
be signing off when second in the Sun Chariot but her
demeanour and work in the interim had prompted connections
to have another go.
Restrained in the main far-side group early led along by the
Ballydoyle pace-setters Lancaster Bomber (War Front) and Sir
John Lavery (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}), Persuasive kept Churchill for
company and she tracked him closely as the smooth-travelling
Ribchester was committed on the front end by William Buick
passing three out. As Churchill went up the rail under Ryan
Moore, the gap was closed ahead of her and she had to switch
out with a quarter mile remaining. Rather than disturbing her
momentum, that move seemed to fire her up and she was soon
threatening a line of four rivals in Churchill, Ribchester,
stablemate Nathra (Ire) (Iffraaj {GB})--who had been third in the
Sun Chariot--and Lightning Spear (GB) (Pivotal {GB}). Proving
fastest of that combination from the furlong pole, she surged
into the clear to add to Dettori=s QEII tally as he closes in on
Willie Carson=s record of eight.
Trainer John Gosden AHe was saving her and holding her
together and she=d have been an unlucky loser,@ he said.
ANathra also ran a blinder and they are both off to the breeding
shed now.@ Expanding on his decision to tackle this ambitious
target, he explained, AI think [Cheveley Park Stud=s managing
director] Chris [Richardson] said >she is in the QEII and if it rains,
should we run?= and I said >it is a very good idea=. It was as
simple as that. She is a phenomenally good filly. We=ve waited
for this ground, she loves this ground. I don=t think she has had
any luck in Group 1s. Things have gone wrong for her, but it has
come right today. We are thrilled and she deserved it. It never
worries me late in a year with a filly, because I think they go
through hell in the spring and summer coming in and out of
season. They come to the late summer and autumn and
everything is settled and they can focus on racing.@
As he was at Glorious Goodwood, trainer Richard Fahey was
again cursing the weather as he reflected on Ribchester=s effort.
AIt=s deja vu, the ground has beaten him again,@ he commented.
AHe=s a horse that=s won on soft ground, but he=s such a good-
moving horse. William [Buick] felt he came there to win and win
well and he just gets blunted in the dead ground. He just doesn=t
put it to bed and the winner coped with the conditions better.
That=s twice he=s been beaten in desperate conditions, but we=re
happy enough--I=m not really, but I=ll have to say that.@
Ribchester, who had been second to another filly in Minding
(Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) 12 months previously, was being touted as a
Breeders= Cup Mile candidate beforehand, but Fahey was non-
committal in this race=s immediate aftermath. AI can=t even think
about that at the moment,@ he added.

I=m proud of him, but disappointed really. For me his best run of

Happy connections of Hydrangea after she gave Aidan O'Brien a record-equaling 25th Group 1 winner of the year in the G1 Fillies and Mares S.
racingfotos.com
BLOOMING MARVELLOUS Hydrangea (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) was rewarded for her
consistency with a career high in last month=s G1 Matron S. at
Leopardstown before just failing to usurp stablemate
Rhododendron (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) in Chantilly=s G1 Prix de
l=Opera on Arc day at the beginning of this month, but bounced
back in game fashion to provide Aidan O=Brien with a record-
equalling 25th Group 1 win of the year in Saturday=s G1 British
Champions Fillies & Mares S. at Ascot. Settling into a smooth
rhythm without cover for most of the contest, the 4-1 chance
made rapid headway rounding the home turn to seize control at
the quarter-mile marker and, despite the ominous attention of
7-4 favourite Bateel (Ire) (Dubawi {Ire}) approaching the final
furlong, readily withstood that rival=s vain bid to hit the line with
a decisive two lengths to spare. >TDN Rising Star= Coronet (GB)
(Dubawi {Ire}), as ever, rallied late to finish a further 1 3/4
lengths adrift in third. AEveryone puts in a lot of hard work, day
in day out, and it=s incredible,@ said a typically modest O=Brien
after matching the late Bobby Frankel=s 2003 landmark feat of
25 top-level wins in a calendar year. AWe=re a small link in a long
chain and we are so grateful and delighted for everybody
involved.
Galileos just do not stop, they go any distance from short to
long and the will to win is just incredible.@ Winning rider Ryan
Moore added, AWhat Aidan has achieved this year is simply
remarkable and it=s a massive team effort. This filly has been on
the go all year and just gets better and better. She has stepped
up in trip in her last two runs and I was hoping the ground would
have been better than it was, but she has a lovely attitude.@
Hydrangea, who graduated in a seven-furlong Curragh maiden
in her third start last year, embarked on a run of three runner-
up finishes--in the G2 Debutante S., G1 Moyglare Stud S. and
G1 Fillies= Mile--before closing a busy juvenile campaign with a
last-of-14 effort in Santa Anita=s GI Breeders= Cup Juvenile Fillies
Turf. She opened this term with a win in Leopardstown=s
G3 Ballylinch Stud 1000 Guineas Trial, was off colour in the
“Everyone puts in a lot of hard work, day in day out,and it’s incredible. We’re a small link in a long chain
and we are so grateful and delighted foreverybody involved.”

G1 1000 Guineas and was in the money in the Irish equivalent,
Royal Ascot=s G1 Coronation S. and the G1 Nassau S. at
Goodwood. On song in the Sept. 9 G1 Matron S. on her return to
Leopardstown, she was back up in trip for Chantilly=s G1 Prix de
l=Opera and climbed the ladder once more for her first start
beyond 10 furlongs here. AThese Group 1s are so hard to win
and you never expect anything,@ insisted Aidan O=Brien, who
was crowned Britain=s champion trainer in the aftermath of
another day=s prize collecting. AIt was Ryan=s idea to run her as
he thought there was a chance she could get this trip. We
weren=t sure, but she obviously did and it is brilliant. We do our
best every single day and that=s all we can do. It=s great to be
here and I am so grateful to everybody. There are so many
variables and so many things which can go wrong. When you
miss at it you never know whether you are ever going to get
back there or not. That=s the way it is and the way things stack
up. Sometimes all your ducks come in a row and sometimes they
don=t, but you just have to accept it and move on.@
Runner-up Bateel (Ire) (Dubawi {Ire})--who had previously
registered incremental scores in the June 10 G3 Pinnacle S., Aug.
6 G2 Prix de Pomone and Sept. 10 G1 Prix Vermeille--looked a
viable threat inside the final quarter mile, but was unable to
follow through once Hydrangea engaged turbo in the closing
stages. Trainer Francis-Henri Graffard was nonetheless delighted
with his charge and said, ABateel has run a fantastic race. She
had the ground she likes, she had a perfect run and there are no
excuses. She came upsides Hydrangea, but when Ryan [Moore]
asked his filly she ran away from us. She was on top of her game
for the Vermeille and was at her best today. There wouldn=t be
much more improvement in her, but she is a genuine Group 1
filly. She has done a fantastic job this season and deserves a
place at stud. She will go for a break now and we will chat with
the owners regarding her future. I=d be happy to have her back
and also happy for her to go stud. Every eventuality is a good
outcome.@ Jockey Pierre-Charles Boudot added, ABateel has run
a great race, but when she came upsides Hydrangea went away
and was not for catching. She has run really well, but came up
against a good one.@ James Wigan, racing manager for owner
Prince Faisal=s Denford Stud, confirmed Coronet (GB) (Dubawi
{Ire}) is to remain in training as a 4-year-old and said, AWe are
thrilled with her performance and she stays in training for next
season.@
Pedigree Notes... Hydrangea is the second Group 1 winner for G2 Prix du Gros-
Chene and G3 Prix d=Arenberg victress Beauty Is Truth (Ire)
(Pivotal {GB}), who is also the dam of G1 Ranvet S. victor The

G3 Prix du Bois and also produced the stakes-winning G1 Poule

FEELING THE BREEZE So often out of luck with his hold-up style, Tony Bloom=s
Librisa Breeze (GB) (Mount Nelson {GB}) came right where it
mattered on Saturday as he swooped to conquer in the G1
Qipco British Champions Sprint at Ascot. While mostly everyone
was watching the likes of Harry Angel (Ire) (Dark Angel {Ire})
and Caravaggio (Scat Daddy), trainer Dean Ivory and all those
who kept the faith after a few unfortunate runs had their eyes
trained on their beloved grey as he sliced his way between
rivals from rear. Rushing by Tasleet (GB) (Showcasing {GB}) with
150 yards to race, the 10-1 shot, who was last seen finishing
second in the G2 Hungerford S. over seven furlongs at Newbury
on Aug. 19, asserted to score by 1 1/4 lengths, with 3/4 of a
length back to Caravaggio as he worked his way past the fading
5-4 favourite Harry Angel. Robert Winston, whose last win at
this level had come in 2004, was making no bones about the
impact that the winner had made on his life. AMy career was
finished but for this horse,@ he
explained. AI gave my notice to
Dean last season, but this horse
kept me going. I=m riding for a
great man and great staff with
great owners and Dean=s got
some very nice horses now.
This horse is so genuine and
very fast, even though he=s
bred to stay further. He=s such
a trier and although I=ve been
criticised a couple of times with
people saying I should have
won, that=s the way you have
to ride him. It doesn=t matter now after this.@
Librisa Breeze has been popular at this track, at which his
record stood at two-from-five prior to this test, finishing second
in the Royal meeting=s Royal Hunt Cup last June before taking
the seven-furlong International S. and Challenge Cup in July and
early October. Sixth in this as he signed off his 2016 campaign,
he returned to be a strong-closing fourth after meeting trouble
in running in the June 24 G1 Diamond Jubilee S. in which The
Tin Man (GB) (Equiano {Fr}), Tasleet and Limato (Ire) (Tagula
{Ire}) were ahead. His ninth placing in the Aug. 1 G2 Lennox S.
over seven furlongs at Goodwood told nothing of the tale of his
race, as he was repeatedly stopped and again failed to get a
clear passage as he filled the runner-up spot behind Massaat
(Ire) (Teofilo {Ire}) in the Hungerford.
This race was immediately characterised by the decision byAdam Kirby to restrain Harry Angel and wait behind the frontpair, but the G1 July Cup and G1 Haydock Sprint Cup clearlyresented that tactic and by the time he was committed with
two furlongs remaining much of his customary power hadalready been spent. That opened the contest up and for a briefperiod it looked as if Ryan Moore had Caravaggio perfectlypoised for his usual strong finishing effort on the outside, but hecould only flounder in the ground when fully stretched. It wasTasleet who emerged with the most significant challenge to thefavourite approaching the furlong pole, but Librisa Breeze, whohad travelled strongly while balled up off the pace by RobertWinston, quickly loomed between Harry Angel and Caravaggio tojoin the fight. As Harry Angel began to cave in, it was the greywho proved strongest and saw off the Shadwell runner with allthe zest of one who has been frustrated for so long. Dean Ivory was basking in the career-defining moment. ATheground and everything went right for us,@ he said. AHe has beenoff a long time, seven weeks, and he has been so unlucky thisyear--we have got the luck when it mattered. That was thehardest field in the last 10 years and to come out and do it likethat, I=m thrilled. We have had a bit of a rocky road. You
persevere and hope for a bit ofluck and it has come good today.He is a horse that has never had aclean run. This year is his year andI=ve seen him grow into a properhorse. At one time I thought hehad gone back a bit, but he gotthe gap this time. He is versatileand you can=t say he isn=t asix-furlong horse. You train himwhere the races are as really, he isa seven-furlong horse or miler.@ William Haggas said of Tasleet,who again proved his liking for
testing ground, AHe=s run another great race and I=d say he justgot outstayed this time. I very much hope he=ll be back for nextyear, but that=s to be discussed. If he is, he=ll follow the sameroute as this year.@ Clive Cox said of Harry Angel, AIt wasn=t hisday, but I still think he showed his usual zip and class when hewent to the front here on much more testing ground than atHaydock. Great credit to the runners that finished in front ofhim, he was just coming to the end of his run. I don=t thinkanyone has lost any confidence. We know on a different day, onbetter ground, he will be back. I will be looking forward to nextyear. I would say the first thing is to give him a nice winter break,as it has been well earned.@

BY GEORGE! It looked doubtful for much of the straight, but Order of St
George (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) lives to engage the public and he
found the line in time to kick off Ascot=s Champions Day with a
victory for Ballydoyle in Saturday=s G2 Qipco Long Distance Cup.
Travelling in mid-division throughout as if 4-5 favouritism was
generous, the dual G1 Irish St Leger and G1 Gold Cup hero, who
was fourth in the Arc 20 days ago, came under a drive before the
home straight and appeared to be going nowhere soon after.
Seemingly beaten approaching the furlong pole as old rival
Torcedor (Ire) (Fastnet Rock {Aus}) strode into a clear lead under
Colm O=Donoghue, the market leader found something for Ryan
Moore to inhale that rival near the line and win by a half length,
with Stradivarius (Ire) (Sea the Stars {Ire}) the same margin back
in third. AI was surprised,@ Moore commented in reference to the
manner of Order of St Gerorge=s win. AI was very happy the
whole way round and I thought I had the front two covered, but
it didn=t look likely for a long time. As they came back to him, he
started to get motivated and he=s an unbelievably good horse
who ran a very good race in the Arc and has come here at the
end of a long hard year. He looked magnificent and is a beautiful
horse and a pleasure to have anything to do with. He=s very
talented, but that ground was very hard work--I=d call it very
soft.@
Now almost a veteran of these staying contests with some
middle-distance class thrown in along the way, Order of St
George has a mercurial quality that ensures there is never a dull
moment. His two wins in the Irish Leger in 2015 and 2017 were
carried out by a cumulative margin of 20 lengths, but in between
he went under to Wicklow Brave (GB) (Beat Hollow {GB}) when
long odds-on. Cont. p12

Qipco Long Distance Cup S. cont.
His 2016 Gold Cup success was marked by the same initial
lethargy and finishing surge that characterised this
performance, but 12 months ago in this he was only
workmanlike as he ran on into fourth. Third and fourth in the
last two renewals of the G1 Prix de l=Arc de Triomphe, with the
most recent possibly a stronger one, the bay provided a heart-
in-mouth moment for his legion of supporters as he came back
just 20 days after his Chantilly exertions.
Sluggish from the stalls as he has been of late, Order of St
George was allowed to slot into mid-division as his Gold Cup
conqueror Big Orange (GB) (Duke of Marmalade {Ire}) tried to
dominate from the front without the same conviction on
ground which had turned against him. As he fell away in the
back straight and the 3-year-old Mount Moriah (GB) (Mount
Nelson {GB}) took over, Moore looked poised as he brought the
Ballydoyle challenger forward with Stradivarius tracking him. As
Torcedor, who had beaten Order of St George in the G3 Vintage
Crop S. at Navan on Apr. 23, cut loose in the straight it looked as
if the favourite might not even make the frame, but there was
something left in the locker and when it came down to a
challenge he raised his game to prevail.
Aidan O=Brien, who was standing on the cusp of history, was
able to enjoy the perfect warm-up for his bid to join Bobby
Frankel on the world record. AHe is tough and hardy and never
stops,@ he said. AIn every race he has ever run in, he is always
finishing. We saw him in the Gold Cup and sometimes the line
comes too quick, but he doesn=t stop. He has had a busy time.
Obviously we are delighted with him. That is him for this year, I
imagine.@
Torcedor was registering a career-best and trainer Jessie
Harrington said, AHe=s run a real cracker, I=m absolutely thrilled.
He=s been beaten by a very good horse, it=s as simple as that. He
put it up to him and he=s come on again since the summer and
I=ve only had him a year, not even a year in training. I=m still
learning and he=ll be back next year.@
Stradivarius ran his usual game race in defeat on unfavourable
conditions and his trainer John Gosden said, AHe=s run a blinder.
It=s not his favourite ground, he has this ability to quicken and
you can=t really quicken in that. It was a tremendous race, Order
of St George brings Arc form in here. He stays in training and we
look forward to races like the Ascot Gold Cup.@
Pedigree Notes... Order of St George is one of four stakes winners for his damAnother Storm, whose Angel Terrace captured the GIII Pin OakValley View S. and Asperity took the G3 Prix Paul de Moussac.The second dam is the GI Breeders= Cup Juvenile Fillies and GIFrizette S.-winning champion 2-year-old filly Storm Song, who isa half to the GII Oak Leaf S. winner Diamond Omi (Giant=sCauseway). Storm Song=s descendants include the G2 SankeiSports Sho Flora S. scorer Midsummer Fair (Jpn) (Tanino Gimlet{Jpn}) and the Singapore champion Better Life (Aus) (SmartyJones), while the dynasty also features the GIII Northern DancerBreeders= Cup S.-winning sire High Cotton and the G3 MusidoraS. scorer Cassis (Red Ransom). Another Storm has an as-yetunraced 2-year-old colt Shakour (Ire) (Declaration of War) whosold for 250,000gns to Emirates Park at Tattersalls October 2016and a yearling colt by Australia (GB) who was snapped up byMark Johnston Racing for 125,000gns at the latest renewal ofthat sale.

SOLID OAK Having ticked an all-important box when capturing the G1 Prix
du Cadran, His Highness The Aga Khan=s near-flawless stayer
Vazirabad (Fr) (Manduro {Ger}) makes his history attempt on
Sunday as he bids for an unprecedented third edition of the
G1 Prix Royal-Oak at Saint-Cloud. While he was far from
dominant when taking his first Cadran at Chantilly on Sept. 30,
the homebred has always reserved his best for this race and
looks hard to oppose as he enters the latest renewal off four
straight pattern-race wins.
If there is one to put up a valid fight it could be the unexposed
Juddmonte 3-year-old colt Ice Breeze (GB) (Nayef), who
appeared to relish a step up to this trip when winning an above-
average renewal of the G2 Prix Chaudenay on the Cadran
undercard. He had previously beaten Vazirabad=s G1 Grand Prix
de Paris-winning stablemate Shakeel (Fr) (Dalakhani {Ire}) in the
G2 Prix Hocquart over a mile and a half also at Chantilly on June
18 and possesses the kind of middle-distance speed that can
make a difference in these races. Others who could pose a threat
are Gestut Auenquelle=s Sept. 17 G3 Deutsches St Leger winner
Oriental Eagle (Ger) (Campanologist) and Godolphin=s June 4
G3 Prix de Royaumont scorer Kitesurf (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}), who is
raised markedly in trip by Andre Fabre after a latest third in the
12-furlong G2 Prix de Royallieu at Chantilly on Sept. 30.
KILLA INSTINCT Aidan O=Brien often reserves something a touch special for
Leopardstown=s G3 Killavullan S., and the race=s winning-most
trainer on 10 wins holds a strong hand in Sunday=s renewal.
Continuing a recent trend of pitching fillies in against the colts,
the stable is represented by a decent one in Bye Bye Baby (Ire)
(Galileo {Ire}), who beat the subsequent G3 Oh So Sharp S. scorerVazirabad | Scoop Dyga

Altyn Orda (Ire) (Kyllachy {GB}) in a Newmarket maiden over
this trip on Sept. 30 before collecting Navan=s Listed
Staffordstown Stud S. at a mile eight days later. She is joined by
last Sunday=s six-furlong Naas maiden winner Dramatically (War
Front) and the colt Kenya (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}), who had caused a
deep impression at Cork at this distance 24 hours earlier when
making all to win by eight lengths.
Outside of Ballydoyle, Jessie Harrington puts forward a live
contender in Landshark (GB) (Bated Breath {GB}), who is upped
in trip after a latest second in the G3 Round Tower S. over six
furlongs at The Curragh on Aug. 27. While he was beaten six
lengths by U S Navy Flag (War Front) there, subsequent events
have put a shine on that form.
QUEEN IN WAITING A week on from Erasmus (Ger) (Reliable Man {GB})
establishing his dominion amongst the colts of the 2-year-old
generation in Cologne=s G3 Preis des Winterfavoriten, it is the
turn of the fillies on Sunday as the G3 Ittlingen Preis der
Winterkonigin takes centre stage at Baden-Baden. Clear best in
the Listed Preis des Medienhauses DuMont Rheinland over 7
1/2 furlongs at Cologne last time on Sept. 23, Gunter Merkel=s
unbeaten Rock My Love (Ger) (Holy Roman Emperor {Ire}) is re-
opposed by the runner-up Cabarita (Ger) (Areion {Ger}) and
Barista (Ger) (Rock of Gibraltar {Ire}), who were three lengths
and a further two lengths behind her on that occasion. Of
interest is Gestut Wittekindshof=s Hannover maiden winner
Sword Peinture (Ger) (Peintre Celebre), but she has a mountain
to climb to get to the level already set by the favourite.
BRITISH CHAMPIONS CROWNED The awards for Britain=s 2017 champion jockey, trainer andowner were presented on British Champions Day at Ascot onSaturday, with Silvestre de Sousa winning the jockeys title andAidan O=Brien and Godolphin taking their respective categories. De Sousa was for the second time named champion jockey inBritain on Saturday, besting last year=s champion Jim Crowleywith 155 winners. Crowley rode 111, and Ryan Moore was thirdwith 103. De Sousa, who also won the championship in 2015,accepted his award at Ascot on Champions Day.
"It was my target, I am delighted to get there," said De Sousa. "Iam very proud to win for a second time, I've worked very hard, itis great. It is a long season, but I have been fit and healthy, I hada clear run through and am so pleased to have had the chance. Iam delighted to be here today for the award--it is ChampionsDay, there should be a great atmosphere." Looking forward, the rider added, "I don't really have any plansfor the winter, I will be in Britain until Christmas and the NewYear, then I will go abroad. Then I will get ready for the nextseason--I hope to ride a few winners again next year. I will take itas it comes and I hope to be busy again." Godolphin was shut out on Champions Day but nonethelesstook the champion owner title, which was accepted byGodolphin Chief Executive Joe Osborne. "It's been a great season for us and it's a credit to our trainersand horses for us to be Champion Owner; it means a lot to us,@Osborne said. "Today is a huge day--it's freshest in people'sminds towards the end of the season and we're delighted to be apart of it." For the second year in a row, O=Brien took the trainers titlewith John Gosden in second, and the Ballydoyle trainer said, "It'sa big team effort, and everyone works so hard, there are manylinks to the chain. We're very grateful to the lads at the top whoput the team together and send us the horses."

BOOM=S TIME AT LAST Decorated trainer David Hayes enjoyed one of the defining
moments of his career when Boom Time (Aus) (Flying Spur
{Aus}) sprang a 50-1 upset and led home a huge-priced quinella
in Saturday=s A$3-million G1 Caulfield Cup. Not only does Hayes
train the 6-year-old at Lindsay Park with his son Ben Hayes and
nephew Tom Dabernig; he is also the sole owner.
Hayes told Racing.com he purchased the horse, who had also in
the past been plagued by injury, in April when his former owner,
Kim Loxton, found himself unable to pay the bills.
"This horse had bowed a tendon and he'd just run a shocker in
the Sydney Cup and wasn't very marketable at all," Hayes said.
"But I knew the horse had decent ability and I didn't want to see
him leave the property so I purchased him. [Loxton] had gotten
into a little bit of trouble with the banks. Unfortunately, he had
to sell out of everything and shut down. But he rings in from time
to time. I'll talk to him tonight for sure and I owe him a lot of
drinks."
Eleventh of 14 in the aforementioned Sydney Cup, Boom Time
returned in Hayes=s colours in a Moonee Valley handicap on Aug.
26, checking in third, but dropped back to ninth over the same
track two weeks later. He improved for the added ground in the
2040 metre G3 JRA Cup at Moonee Valley on Sept. 29, checking
in third, and was fourth over this track and trip in the G3 Herbert
Power S. last weekend.
Despite Hayes=s faith in the horse, another stroke of luck was
needed for Boom Time to make it into the Caulfield Cup field,
and that happened at the expense of Riichi Kondo and trainer
Darren Weir last week when Admire Deus (Jpn) (Admire Don
{Jpn}) unfortunately suffered an injury that ruled him out of the
race, leaving an opening.
Biding his time behind an early tussle for the lead under Cory
Parish as the field passed the stands the first time, Boom Time
settled about fifth on the fence down the backstretch as Sir Isaac
Newton (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) opened a big lead from the mare
Single Gaze (Aus) (Not A Single Doubt {Aus}). The pacesetter had
opened a lead of about 15 lengths by the time he passed the
1000 metre mark, but the field quickly ate into it thereafter, and
he was swallowed up rounding the bend by Single Gaze and

TDN EUROPE/INTERNATIONAL • PAGE 18 OF 20 • THETDN.COM SUNDAY • 22 OCTOBER, 2017
Amelie=s Star (Aus) (Testa Rossa {Aus}) as the G1 Australian
Derby winner Jon Snow (NZ) (Iffraaj {GB}) made a bid three
wide. Boom Time, meanwhile, was weaving his way between
rivals on the inside with favoured Johannes Vermeer (Ire)
(Galileo {Ire}) on his heels, and he split Single Gaze and Amelie=s
Star at the 150 metre mark to take the lead and drew off to win
by 1 1/4 lengths.
Hayes paid credit to low-profile stable jockey Parish post-race.
"A lot of jockey selections are political," Hayes told
Racing.com. "Owners have a lot of input into jockeys but I
trained it and owned it and so it was easy to put Cory on. He
knew the horse. He knew he went a bit fast last week and he
didn't tumble into that this time."
Hayes, who was training his third Caulfield Cup winner after
sending out Sheikh Hamdan=s Fraar (Topsider) in 1993 and
Tawqeet (Kingmambo) in 2006, added, "It makes it really special
doing it with the family. Ben was very emotional. I think he saw
his inheritance going up."
Pedigree Notes... Boom Time becomes the 13th Group 1 winner for his
pensioned former champion sire Flying Spur. He is the seventh
foal and lone stakes winner out of his seven-time winning dam,
who this year produced a colt by All American (Aus). Appearing
under the third dam is the multiple group winner Scandinavia
(Aus) (Snippets {Aus}), whose progeny include Group 1 winner
Magnus (Aus) (Flying Spur {Aus}) and the unraced Helsinge (Aus)
(Desert Sun {GB}), the dam of unbeaten world champion
sprinter Black Caviar (Aus) (Bel Esprit {Aus}) and her four-time
Group 1-winning half-brother and leading second-crop sire All
Too Hard (Aus) (Casino Prince {Aus}). Click for the free

PINOT >ECLIPSES= ETHEREAL RIVALS,
PUNCHES TICKET TO OAKS by Alan Carasso
Pinot (Aus) (Pierro {Aus}), a single purchase by US-based Aron
Wellman=s Eclipse Thoroughbred Partners out of the 2016 Inglis
Australian Easter Yearling Sale, continued her ascent through the
ranks Saturday, overcoming a deep, double-digit draw to win
Caulfield=s G3 Ethereal S. (2000m) to earn a shot at the
G1 VRC Kennedy Oaks (2500m) at Flemington Nov. 9.
Ultimately loaded into barrier 15 following the scratching of
the race=s four emergency runners, the A$200,000 acquisition
was off to an uneventful beginning, but was four and five wide
for the opening three furlongs before finally crossing over to the
fence to head them off. Cont. p19

Pinot cont.
Allowed to gallop along through even sections down the side
of the track, Pinot was asked to quicken by Stephen Baster with
about 500m to travel and the pair opened some daylight at the
entrance to the straight. A bit wobbly-legged and wanting to
drift in at the furlong grounds, Pinot began looking for the line,
but had the race in safe keeping and took it by 1 3/4 lengths as
the $5.50 (9-2) joint-favourite (video). Rimraam (NZ)
(Commands {Aus}) was second, a length better than Hiyaam
(NZ) (High Chaparral {Ire}) in third. The final time over a track
rated a good 3 was 2:02.71.
AIt was really good to see her do that,@ Eclipse=s Aron Wellman
told the TDN Saturday afternoon en route to the races at Santa
Anita. A[The wide draw] was certainly my biggest concern going
into the race. But [trainer] Gai [Waterhouse] is the self-
proclaimed most optimistic human being and she was
unconcerned, because the filly was doing so well. The ground
and the distance were concerns, but she dispelled of those
concerns, much to our delight.
He continued, AThe first quarter mile won the race and
Stephen [Baster] gets all the credit for that, it was absolutely
brilliant. The way he gradually allowed her to get to the lead as
opposed to sending her too abruptly--that probably would have
done her in right there and then and she probably wouldn=t
have found that extra. His ride was a thing of beauty and he
deserves credit for the win.@
Pinot--whose dam Dizelle (NZ) (Zabeel {NZ}) was herself a
winner of an Oaks--will need to negotiate an extra 500m, but
Wellman and team are not the least bit worried.
AThe one thing that we have always been very confident with
this filly is her endurance and stamina to get the Oaks distance,@
he said. AIt looked for a minute that she was looking for the wire,
but they really weren=t gaining on her all that much. Her stride
remained fluid and she never lost her action, she was really
reaching out at the wire. But her ability to get the distance is one
of the least of our concerns. We=re all pretty bullish on going to
Melbourne with a live chance in the Oaks.@
And Wellman, who will likely make the trip to Victoria after
attending the Breeders= Cup the prior weekend, welcomes the
opportunity to give the legendary Waterhouse her first win in
the prestigious event.
AShe=s been spot on about this filly all season long, she=s made
every right move,@ he said. AHer mission going back the last few
months was to have Pinot primed for a peak performance in the
Oaks and hopefully that=s what she=s accomplished. To win a race
like the Oaks would be a great honour and for it to be Gai=s first
Oaks, that would just amplify the experience. If it weren=t for
her, we wouldn=t have taken the plunge. She deserves all the
credit for putting us in this position.@
Kate Waterhouse is also a partner in the filly along with
Newgate Farm and bloodstock agent James Bester.
