STARSHIP JUBILEE BEATS THE BOYS
IN WOODBINE MILE
Starship Jubilee (Indy Wind) bested the boys and earned a
spot in the gate for the GI Breeders= Cup Mile with a victory in
the GI Ricoh Woodbine Mile Saturday. Settling in fourth off the
rail as Admiralty Pier (English Channel) clocked an opening
quarter in :23.66, pilot Justin Stein checked Starship Jubilee for a
stride, but they maintained their position with War of Will (War
Front) running in tandem with her through a :46.14 half-mile.
Shadowing the 2019 GI Preakness S. hero=s advance towards the
front approaching the far turn, Starship Jubilee split rivals to
launch a four-wide bid at the top of the lane. Overtaking War of
Will entering the final sixteenth, the 7-year-old mare forged
clear to win by a length.
AJust an unbelievable feeling,@ said Kevin Attard. AThis mare
doesn't get the respect she deserves. She's a winner of 18 or 19
races out of 38 starts, I was really disappointed to see her at 6-1
on the board... just kind of forgotten about. Time after time, she
comes up and proves that she's a top horse in North America.@
ASitting inside the three-eighths pole, around the 5/16ths pole
I had tons, and I waited for a chance to tip her out and ask her to
run,@ said Stein. AShe's so honest and wants to win more than
anybody else out there. I watched her replaysYshe's just gritty.
She just waited for her cue and took off like a scalded cat. She
was gone.@

31.52%Bthe lowest session buy-back rate of the sale so far.
Through the two sessions of Book 3, 439 yearlings sold for
$40,167,700. The average was $91,498 and the median was
$65,000. Just one horse topped the $500,000 mark--Friday=s

Woodbine Mile cont.
Claimed for just $16,000 back in 2017, Starship Jubilee won
her first Grade I in last year=s GI E.P. Taylor S. and was second
next out in the GIII Cardinal S. over a yielding course at Churchill
Downs in November. She opened her 2020 account with four
straight victories: the Sunshine Millions F/M Turf Jan. 18, the
GIII Suwannee River S. Feb. 8, the GII Hillsborough S. Mar. 7 and
the GII Ballston Spa S. July 25. The FL-bred entered off a fourth
in the GI Diana S. at Saratoga Aug. 23.
Pedigree Notes:
Canada=s reigning Horse of the Year, Starship Jubilee is one of
eight winners from as many to race from her dam, a daughter of
Grade I winner Perfect Arc. Third dam Podeica was victorious in
the G1 Polla de Potrancas in her native Argentina. Also the dam
of the MSP Starship Nala, Perfectly Wild is represented by the
3-year-old Allegedly Perfect (Kantharos), who captured a grass
allowance two back at Gulfstream in June. Perfectly Wild was
bred to Malibu Moon in each of the last two seasons.

MAGIC ATTITUDE RUNS TO THE MONEY IN
BELMONT OAKS Magic Attitude (GB) (Galileo {Ire}) made her Stateside debut
in style with a late-surging victory as the heavy favorite in the
GI Belmont Oaks Saturday, the first Grade I event of the track=s
fall meet. Caboosing the quintet early, the even-money favorite-
-who was receiving Lasix for the first time--bided her time at the
back as second-choice Antoinette (Hard Spun) clocked a half-
mile in :49.99. Still last entering the far turn, the bay swung out
three wide in the lane and unleashed a furious rally, powering
clear late for a decisive victory. Saratoga Oaks victress
Antoinette held second.
"The pace was a little bit of a concern,@ said winning trainer
Arnaud Delacour. AWith a five-horse field, you never know
what's going to happen, but it didn't change her running style as
that's how she likes to race. Javier [Castellano] timed it perfectly
and she came with a good kick.@
On a potential start in the GI Breeders' Cup Filly and Mare Turf
Nov. 7: "We'll see. One race at a time. The [GI] Queen Elizabeth
[II Challenge Cup] [Oct. 10 at Keeneland] is in 21 days and might
be coming back too quick. We'll let her tell us."

Magic Attitude | Coglianese
"I really like the way she did it,@ jockey Javier Castellano said.
AWatching the replays, it seemed like she could be a little bit
keen. She always seemed to break well out of the gate and get
good forward position in Europe. Today, she broke OK. I tried to
cover up a little bit. It was her first time in the country and a
mile and a quarter and you always have to save something for
the end. She sat beautifully behind the speed. She had a nice
rhythm. When I asked her turning for home at the quarter pole,
she just took off really well. I was very excited to see the way
she did it today."
Graduating at second asking in France for Haras Du Saubouas
and trainer Fabrice Chappet, Magic Attitude checked in third in
the Criterium de Lyon 15 days later. Victorious in the G3 Prix
Vanteaux in May, she was privately purchased by Roy and
Gretchen Jackson=s Lael Stables and was second in her first start
for them in the G1 Prix Saint Alary June 14. The chestnut was
fifth in her final European start in the G1 Prix de Diane July 5 for
trainer Fabrice Chappet and was transferred to Delacour.
Pedigree Notes:
Magic Attitude is the 89th top-level scorer for the mighty
Galileo and is bred on the same Galileo/Exceed and Excel cross
as Group 1 winner Anthony Van Dyck. She is also one of 327
black-type winners and 221 graded winners for that Coolmore
stalwart. Her dam, English Highweight and Group 1 winner
Margot Did, is also the dam of GSW & MG1SP Mission
Impassible (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}). Her recent produce includes the
juvenile colt Pietrasanta (Jpn) (Frankel {GB}), who brought
-210,000,000--the equivalent of $1,936,200--at the JRHA
Yearling and Foal Sale; and a yearling colt by Heart=s Cry (Jpn).

Starship Jubilee (Indy Wind) beats the boys in the GI Ricoh Woodbine Mile.
TDN HEADLINE NEWS • PAGE 7 OF 15 • THETDN.COM SUNDAY • SEPTEMBER 20, 2020
Count Again proved he should not be counted out with a
rallying score in the Singspiel at odds of 9-1. Racing in mid-pack,
the bay sat patiently back off the pace through a first half-mile in
:49.91. Dropping back to second last on the backstretch, he was
way out in the center of the track in early stretch and close
resolutely to secure the victory. Sir Sahib got up for second by a
neck over the winner=s stablemate and fellow Sam-Son
homebred.
Count Again earned his diploma at second asking when
switched to the turf at Keeneland Oct. 9 for trainer Neil Howard.
Transferred to Kent Sweezey, he won a grassy allowance at
Tampa Apr. 3 and was moved once again to Gail Cox. Third in a
local optional claimer June 20, the gelding missed by a neck to
the re-opposing Woodbridge (Langfuhr) over course and
distance Aug. 29.
Pedigree Notes:
Count Again is the 69th black-type winner and 38th graded
winner by the recently pensioned Awesome Again. His stakes-
winning and MGSP dam Count to Three is a daughter of Grade I
winner Countus In (Dancing Court). Also the dam of MGISW
Ransom the Moon (Malibu Moon), she more recently produced
the juvenile colt Count to Four (Dynamic Sky), a yearling filly by
Pioneerof the Nile and a 2020 filly by Malibu Moon.
DERBY & OAKS WINNERS RETURN TO THE
WORKTAB GI Kentucky Derby hero Authentic (Into Mischief) and GI Kentucky Oaks victress Shedaresthedevil (Daredevil) bothreturned to the worktab Saturday at Churchill Downs. GI Preakness S.-bound Authentic covered five panels in :59.20(video), the fastest of 38 works at the distance. With jockeyMartin Garcia aboard, the bay clicked off splits in :23.80 and:35.40, galloping out six furlongs in 1:12.20. AIt went very well. Martin has been with me,@ said trainer BobBaffert, who came to Louisville from the Keeneland Sale inLexington. AHe knows what I expect. I told him we=re going to gothree-quarters from the [five-eighths pole], and he just went off,didn=t have to move on him. This horse, he gets over any track.He couldn=t have looked better, coming off a race like that.Everything is all systems go for the Preakness. Got a nice workout of him. I=ll come back, give him an easier work next weekand he should be ready to go.@ His stablemate Thousand Words (Pioneerof the Nile), who wasforced to scratch from the Derby after flipping over in thepaddock, also breezed Saturday. Florent Geroux was in the ironsfor the five-panel move in 1:02.40 (26/38) (video). The bay wasclocked in splits of :25.80, :8 and :50.60 and galloped out sixfurlongs in 1:14.60. Cont. p8

AHe=s not a real good work horse,@ Baffert said. AI usually havehim in company, and today I had him by himself. He=s just asteady kind of horse. Distance is his friend. Flo got to know himtoday, and I think he=s going to work him back this week. Nowhe knows the horse a little bit better. But it was fine. I like theway he actually finished up. He started picking it up the last part.I worked him seven-eighths today. That=s him. He=ll never wowyou in the mornings. Just steady. He=s funny in that if you try torush him early, he gets discouraged.@ The incident with Thousand Words in the paddock injuredlongtime Baffert assistant Jimmy Barns, who required eightscrews in his arm.
ABut Jimmy is doing fine now,@ Baffert said. AHe got his arm
patched up. He had a great surgeon who patched him up. He=s
actually in pretty good spirits.@
With Barnes temporarily out of commission, both Baffert
horses have been under the watchful eye of fellow Hall of Famer
D. Wayne Lukas since the Derby. They are scheduled to ship to
Baltimore Sept. 29.
Also on the worktab Saturday were Preakness contenders Art
Collector (Bernardini) and Mystic Guide (Ghostzapper). A late
defection from the Derby with a minor hoof issue, Art Collector
breezed five furlongs in :59.40 (2/38) (video) with jockey Brian
Hernandez, Jr. at the controls. The homebred went in fractions
of :12.20, :24.20 and :36 with a five-panel gallop-out in 1:11.60.
AHe=s in a great spot right now with his fitness,@ trainer Tommy
Drury said. AWe wanted a bit more of a serious work today and
he went well within himself. He=ll have a maintenance work next
weekend before we ship to Baltimore.@
GII Jim Dandy S. victor Mystic Guide prepped for a possible
start in the Preakness with a half-mile move in :48.60 (2/35) at

Unified | Lane=s End
KEESEP cont. from p1
In the two-session 2019 Book 3 section, 523 yearlings grossed
$56,761,500 for an average of $108,531 and a median of
$80,000. Five horses sold for $500,000 or over.
AIf you have the physical and the vetting and the sire, there is
plenty of money here,@ said Zach Madden of Buckland Sales.
ABut if you have one little bit of criteria that you don=t meet
what the market perceives as being optimal, it=s really, really
sticky. You have to be realistic on reserves and you can=t get too
carried away on anything.@
While the auction market has been polarized for several years
now, Madden thinks the global pandemic and uncertainty in the
economy has widened the gap.
AI think the polarization is definitely accentuated because I just
of how cumbersome COVID has made everything--the economy
and the whole way people live. Today was a little bit of up and
down, but at the end of the day, I still feel like end users are
here and I feel like their may be more people in town with the
shifts in books. I am still hopeful. We ended up having a pretty
good day and my neighbors back at the barn seem to not be
dragging their heads too much. Fingers crossed it continues.@
Bloodstock agent Deuce Greathouse signed for six yearlings
during Saturday=s session.
AEverybody is getting more selective,@ Greathouse said. AYou
hear the sellers say the middle market is weak and all the buyers
say everything they follow up there to buy is hard to buy. I think
the ones you like are maybe a hair more reasonable this year. It
seems like we=ve got some stuff done, it=s been difficult, but
we=ve got some stuff done.@
The Keeneland September sale continues through Friday with
sessions beginning daily at 10 a.m.
Unified Colt Scores for Greathouse Trainer Bob Baffert and bloodstock agent Donato Lannicontinued to pluck the top colts from the back show ringSaturday at Keeneland, going to $450,000 to acquire a colt fromthe first crop of multiple graded stakes winner Unified (CandyRide {Arg}) from the Four Star Sales consignment. AI like what I=ve seen by Unified,@ Lanni said after signing theticket on hip hip 1769 in the name of Baffert=s AThree Amigos@clients, Mike Pegram, Paul Weitman, and Karl Watson. AThis coltstood out in Book 3. There is still money here for good horses,so we paid more money than we thought. But everybody is hereand the good ones cost money.@ The bay colt is out of Fay Na Na (Majestic Warrior), a half-sister to graded placed The Truth and K G (Successful Appeal).He was bred by John Greathouse=s Greathouse Equine and hisfamily=s Glencrest Farm. AEverything about him is special: his demeanor, the way helooks and the way he walks, his mind,@ Greathouse said. AHe=sdone everything right since he got here. He showed non-stopand has not slowed down or turned a hair. He=s been anabsolute champion.@ The Greathouse family=s association with Fay Na Na tracesback to the 2012 Keeneland September sale, where she waspurchased by David Greathouse and his son Deuce for $90,000.The mare never raced and sold for $1,200 at the 2014Keeneland November sale. AMy uncle and cousin actually bought the mare as a yearlingand I bought her privately off a friend a little bit later on,@Greathouse said. AShe=s been nothing but good to me. She=slived on the farm, my wife and I foaled this colt out. And herewe are. This is really special.@ Cont. p12

Among those celebrating the outstanding result was the senior
John Greathouse, who said he came out to the sale Saturday
after his son told him he was expecting big things from the
yearling. But, given the uncertain market conditions, the
younger Greathouse admitted the colt had exceeded
expectations.
ATo say I expected that for him would be ridiculous,@ he said. AI
am thrilled. I am thrilled he=s going to good hands and I am
grateful to all the people who liked him.@
Fay Na Na produced a colt by Violence this year.
Maverick Strikes for Violence Colt WinStar Farm=s Elliott Walden, bidding from the back row of
the sales pavilion, went to $410,000 to acquire a colt by
Violence for the farm=s Maverick Racing division to lead early
returns at Saturday=s sixth session of the Keeneland September
sale.
AHe=s a beautiful colt,@ Walden said after signing the ticket on
hip 1694. AHe was our favorite horse of the day.@
Violence is having a standout year and added a third 2020
Grade I winner to his resume with recent GI Del Mar Futurity
winner Dr. Schivel.
AWouldn=t be buying him last year, but you=ve got to look at
them this year,@ Walden said of the stallion.
As the September sale marched into its second week, Walden
said, AThere are some really good physicals still coming and I=m
encouraged with what is in Books 3 and 4.@
Hip 1694, consigned by Hidden Brook, is out of stakes-placed
Brinkley (City Zip), a half-sister to graded stakes winner Bound
for Nowhere (The Factor). The yearling=s third dam produced
sprint champion Midnight Lute. He was bred by Douglas
Scharbauer, who purchased Brinkley for $170,000 at the 2016
Keeneland November sale.
Dobson Over the Moon Everett Dobson, whose Candy Meadows Sales sold a $775,000
Quality Road colt earlier in the sale, went to $400,000 to acquire
a filly by Malibu Moon (hip 1934) from the Warrendale Sales
consignment Saturday at Keeneland.
AEverything,@ Dobson said with a laugh when asked what he
liked about the yearling. AShe is just the type that will ultimately
hopefully come home to join the broodmare band and make
really nice babies. That=s the plan anyway.@
The chestnut filly is out of Rosy Humor (Distorted Humor) and
is a full-sister to multiple graded stakes winner Stanford and a
half to multiple graded placed Hedge Fund (Super Saver). She
was bred by Ron Stolich, who purchased the mare in foal to Orb
for $225,000 at the 2017 Keeneland November sale.
Dobson said he is seeing new faces on the grounds as the
September sales heads into Book 4.
AThere are a fair number of people here today,@ he said.
AThere looks like there is some new money in the house, which
is always encouraging in Book 3. You want the new players to
come in and it looks like that=s the case. Hopefully it will
continue for the next week or so.@
More Candy for The Avengers
The partnership of SF/Starlight/Madaket, nicknamed The
Avengers by trainer Bob Baffert, added a third colt by Twirling
Candy to its haul at Keeneland September when SF=s Tom Ryan
bid $385,000 to acquire hip 1878 from the Bluegrass
Thoroughbred Services consignment Saturday.
AHe is a lovely colt,@ Ryan said. AHe could have been in Book 2.
He=s a beautiful physical and he=s by a very good stallion. We are
excited about this horse.@
Ryan added that he was still finding plenty of competition for
the top lots as the Keeneland sale reached its one-week mark.

John Stuart | Keeneland
AI thought that was a strong price for that horse, but he=s a
beautiful colt and we are big fans of Twirling Candy,@ he said.
The partnership=s other sons of Twirling Candy purchased this
week at Keeneland were hip 1878, also purchased for $385,000,
and hip 1175, acquired for $130,000.
The yearling, bred by Jeffrey Amling and Merriefield Farm, is
out of My Own Story. Campaigned by Diane Perkins=s Wimborne
Farm, she is the dam of graded stakes winner Real Story (Fast
Bullet) and stakes winner My Afleet (Afleet Alex).
AWe had 11 scopes on the horse, so we knew he was really
popular, but you never know what they are going to bring. We
didn=t think he=d bring that much,@ admitted John Stuart of
Bluegrass Thoroughbred Services. AYou never know until you
lead them in there.@
Of the yearling=s placement in Book 3, Stuart added, AHe could
have been a Book 2, but I=ve taken several out of that mare to
the sales before and I=ve never been able to sell one. But now
that she=s had two really good horses, it makes a difference. I
bought that mare off Mrs. Perkins for about $60,000 off the
racetrack. Boy, what a good producer she=s been.@

ANGEL CORDERO, JR. TAKING BOOK OF
MARYLAND APPRENTICE CHARLIE MARQUEZ Hall of Fame rider Angel Cordero, Jr., who currently represents
Manny Franco, regular pilot of GI Belmont S. and GI Travers S.
winner Tiz the Law (Constitution), is adding Maryland=s leading
apprentice, Charlie Marquez, to his team. Marquez, age 17,
rides with a five-pound weight allowance and was the third-
leading rider at Laurel Park=s summer meet, which wrapped up
Saturday.
AThere=s nothing like Laurel,@ said Marquez. AI love all the
people. The environment=s great, the horses are great. I just
wanted to try something new in my career. I always wanted to
go to New York. It=s just another chapter of my life, so I want to
see where that goes.@
Marquez, who debuted professionally Jan. 1, got his first
winner Jan. 9 at Laurel with his eighth mount. The Maryland
native is the son of Carlos Marquez, Jr., a winner of more than
3,150 career races who is currently riding in Puerto Rico.

His grandfather, Carlos Marquez Sr., was also a jockey who
taught at Puerto Rico=s jockey school.
AI=m excited. I hope to do good,@ said Marquez. AI have a very
good agent up there. [Cordero is] a great mentor, a good agent
and has a lot of connections, so hopefully we can be a good
team and work together to get some wins.@
Cordero, who won 7,057 races during his Hall of Fame career,
also previously represented Hall of Famer John Velazquez.
KARAMANOS, GONZALEZ, AND BONE TAKE LAUREL
SUMMER MEET TITLES The summer meet at Laurel Park wrapped up Saturday with
jockey Horacio Karamanos just holding his lead over Jevian
Toledo to win the riding title in spite of failing to reach the
winner=s circle Saturday while Toledo won twice. Karamanos
won 42-41 over Toledo. He ranked second in purse earnings
with more than $1.35 million, while Toledo tallied $1.52 million.
AI kept finishing second today,@ said Karamanos. AI couldn=t
win. Sometimes you win and sometimes you don=t have the luck.
That=s what happened to me today. But it=s the game. You need
some luck. I think I had beautiful luck because I didn=t get hurt or
anything like that. To me, when I finish my races in one piece,
it=s my best win, and I think for everybody it=s the same.@
Karamanos has now won six titles in Maryland, including the
Laurel fall meets in 2002 and 2007. The Argentine native won
more than 1,500 races in Argentina before moving his tack to
the U.S. in 2000.
Trainer Claudio Gonzalez was Laurel=s leading trainer for the
summer meet with 27 wins. He earned his 13th career title and
10th in the last 11 meets in Maryland. Damon Dilodovico trailed
in second with 16 wins.
Robert D. Bone, one of Gonzalez=s main clients, was the meet=s
leading owner with 14 wins.
Live racing in Maryland will now move to Baltimore for the
Preakness Meet at Pimlico, which is scheduled for Sept. 24-28
and Oct. 1-3. The 145th running of the GI Preakness S. will be
held Oct. 3.

the backfield to cause a 41-1 upset.
Dropped out to the tail as Quick Tempo (Tapizar) set the pace

Ontario-bred gray colt was guided to the grandstand side and
rolled over the top of his rivals en route to a comfortable
victory.

mile to take Saturday=s Woodbine Cares S.
One of the first to break the line, the $8,000 Keeneland
September yearling turned $25,000 OBS March breezer pulled a
bit but came back to jockey Sheena Ryan to sit just in behind a
trio of front-runners. Favored Illegal Smile joined in to make a

angling Dirty Dangle across heels and into the clear at the eighth
pole before sprinting home smartly for the victory. With the win,

Trainer Todd Fincher got the exacta in Albuquerque=s Manzano
S. Saturday. Moon Swag, one of three fillies in the field, shot out
of the gate on top only to put on the brakes and sit midpack.
Extremely wide on the turn--out seven paths from the rail--she
was no better than fifth after a half in :45.28 with two furlongs
to go. Moon Swag steadily wore down the leaders, grinding
down the lane to edge clear late and stay perfect in two starts.
Her previous outing Aug. 26 was a similar trip at a furlong
shorter over this same track with stablemate Jonathan Who
again completing the exacta.
Yara, who won the 2012 GII Davona Dale S. and who is from
the immediate family of GISWs Healthy Addiction (Boston

Ten of the eleven 2-year-old fillies sent to post in the Louisiana
Cup Juvenile Fillies S. were looking for their first black-type win,
but it was Mirabeau, already winner of the Aug. 29 D. S. Shine
Young Futurity at Evangeline Downs, who came home the
victress. After a closing third in her debut June 19, Mirabeau
made it four straight by a combined 21 lengths with the
Louisiana Cup win as she took her show on the road for the first
time from Evangeline to Louisiana Downs.
Wide on the outside while in touch with the leaders, Mirabeau
stayed in the clear and moved up to second by the time the half
passed in :46.88. She collared Rue Lala and sailed right on by
while the whip was out on her rival. Mirabeau powered clear
and kept her mind on business as she cantered home the easiest
of winners.
Mirabeau is the third stakes winner by her sire, a son of Pulpit,
and the first foal to live out of her dam. Smittystown=s yearling
colt by Overanalyze sold at the Texas Yearling and Horses of
Racing Age sale Aug. 24 for $33,000 to Susan Moulton. The mare
also has a colt born this year by Mo Tom and was bred back to

FAIR MAIDEN (f, 3, Street Boss--Shieldmaiden, by Smart

Catch A Glimpse S. and a close third--beaten just a neck--in the
GI Natalma S., made her dirt debut a winning one off the bench
in her sophomore debut here. Facing just three rivals, the 7-2
chance was hard held on the inside in third as they began their
run around the far turn. Trailing the field, but loaded for bear as
they hit the quarter pole, she shot through an inviting opening
along the rail at the top of the stretch and kicked clear to score
by 2 1/4 lengths over heavily favored Perfect Happiness
(Majesticperfection). Fair Maiden entered off a 12th-place finish

at 3-5 after missing by a head in an Aug. 1 allowance at
Saratoga, Spirit Animal settled last of this quintet under a light
hold down the backstretch. Asked to take closer order entering
the turn, the $120,000 Keeneland September yearling zeroed in
on the front rank, was pulled out three or four deep into the
lane and kicked home smartly to take it by 2 3/4 easy lengths. A

career Beyer decrease--down to a still-respectable 86--and
third-place finish. Ready to make amends here at 8-5, Growth
Engine was a comfortable fourth on the outside through
fractions of :22.74 and :46.27 before poking his big blaze up
with the leaders. It was a three-way battle down the stretch
with no one giving an inch until the wire, when Growth Engine
got his nose in front of Optic Way (Cable Boy) in the final stride,
while Croatian (Medaglia d=Oro) finished just another neck back
in third. The winner is a full to War Echo, GSW, $284,387; and to

SATURDAY GEORGE (c, 2, Mineshaft--Atascosa, by War Front)
was a Saturday winner at Woodbine. Off as the 3-1 second
choice, the dark bay shot straight to the lead and toyed with the
field. Every time a rival got within striking distance, he=d let out
another notch. Although he was slow to change leads in the
stretch, it was irrelevant as he bounded home 3 1/4 lengths on
top of Perfect Crime (Old Forester). His only previous start was a
chasing and determined second on the all-weather track
Aug. 29. Saturday George is a half to Take Charge Eh (Will Take

MISSPELL (f, 2, American Pharoah--Fact File, by Dixie Union),
fourth when airing on the Saratoga lawn over this distance, was
sent from the outside 11 post at 6-5 for another try. In the clear
on the outside, the chestnut bided her time while always in
striking range. Tipped out coming off the turn after a pedestrian
half in :51.82, Misspell waited until the eighth pole to switch to
her proper lead, but strode to the front under confident
handling by Tyler Gaffalione to win by three-quarters of a length

her five-furlong debut in the mud Aug. 28 at Ellis Park. Stretched
out an extra three panels over a fast track, she looked to be
momentarily intimidated by a swerving foe at the break, but
immediately recovered and strode up to a tracking spot as the
quarter went in :23.32 and the half sped by in :47.08.
Rockpaperscissors tackled the frontrunner on the turn and

LIKEABLE (c, 2, Frosted--Dashing Debby {SW}, by Medaglia
d'Oro) endured a fairly eventful trip in his rained-off Saratoga
debut Aug. 22, racing wide on the turn and striking final-furlong
interference before just missing by a head. Stretching out to a
mile and remaining on the dirt for this second try, the $350,000
yearling was the 23-10 second choice to odds-on Engrave
(Flatter) and jumped well to head them off out of the chute.
Always going better than the chalk, Likeable began to widen on
the turn, took a commanding advantage into the lane and drew
well clear while racing on his incorrect lead for the length of the
stretch. Likeable had 8 1/4 lengths on first-timer Rational Choice

Alkumait is another talented son of Showcasing
for Sheikh Hamdan and Marcus Tregoning | racingfotos.com
ALKUMAIT BEST INTHE MILL REEF
Sheikh Hamdan bin Rashid Al Maktoum=s twice-raced
Alkumait (GB) (Showcasing {GB}) broke through tackling six
furlongs in a July 28 Goodwood maiden and continued his
upward path with a decisive victory returning in Saturday=s
G2 Dubai Duty Free Mill Reef S. at Newbury. The February-
foaled bay, who had posted a close-up fourth in a July 19 novice
heat over Newbury=s straight six in his only other start, was
3/4-of-a-length too good for King Power Racing=s 475,000gns
Tattersalls October Book 1 yearling Fivethousandtoone (Ire)
(Frankel {GB}), with G1 Prix Morny third Rhythm Master (Ire)
(Dark Angel {Ire}) 2 3/4 lengths further back and best of the rest.
The 8-1 chance was steadied to race within range of the leaders
at the tail of the field after breaking to the fore in this black-type
bow. Making smooth headway once past halfway, he quickened
smartly to launch his bid entering the final furlong and was
pushed out from there to comfortably outpoint 5-2 favourite
Fivethousandttoone for a career high.
AI worked him on some faster ground this week, I could see he
was very good on it and it has been one of those nice upward
curves with him,@ said Marcus Tregoning with renewed focus
following the enforced retirement of stable star Mohaather (GB)
(Showcasing {GB}) last month.

ARMSTRONGS IN LINE FOR PROFITABLE SALEBy Alayna Cullen
There is a general feeling of relief this year that the yearling
sales are taking place at all. While some of the key indices are
down on previous years there is comfort to be found in the
strong clearance rates experienced at the sales thus far and
even more comfort to be taken by some of the results
pinhookers have had from their investments of 2019. For
siblings Chris and Tara Armstrong this year could be one of the
more memorable ones for their young pinhooking operation
from Beechvale Stud.
At the upcoming Tattersalls Ireland September Yearling Sale
they offer two yearling colts. The first is lot 107, a son of
Profitable (Ire) whose first crop has been well received in the
ring. The second is lot 222, who has arguably received one of
the best pedigree updates since catalogue was printed.

Alkumait Best In The Mill Reef cont. from p1
AHe is not jarred, he doesn=t feel the ground and will progress
and go on. I knew we had this one coming through and we just
had to keep him right. He=s stabled right next door to my house
and if he moves, like Mohaather did through the night, it wakes
me up, but it is worth it.@ Looking ahead, the resurgent trainer
added, AThere is a lot of speed on the dam=s side, but if we are
allowed and everybody agrees, we will try to mould him to at
least get seven furlongs and then after that we will see. If you
could get him to drop in and settle, like he did today, there is
every chance he will get a little bit further. I think that is the way
to go. It opens up the game plan a bit and we could always come
back to six furlongs. Sheikh Hamdan may want to put him away
after today, but I=d be keen to run him in Group 1 company
before the end of the season if there is a suitable race.@
Pedigree Notes Alkumait, one of four winners and three black-type performers
out of Suelita (GB) (Dutch Art {GB}), is kin to Listed Committed S.
victor The Broghie Man (GB) (Cityscape {GB}) and Listed Prix
Herod placegetter Gloves Lynch (GB) (Mukhadram {GB}). He is
also full to a yearling filly and half to a weanling colt by Frankel
(GB). Suelita, a granddaughter of GIII Matchmaker S. winner
Horatia (Ire) (Machiavellian), is a multiple-winning half-sister to
G3 Cornwallis S. runner-up Outer Space (GB) (Acclamation {GB})
and to the dam of last term=s G2 Lowther S. victress Living In The
Past (Fr) (Bungle Inthejungle {GB}). Horatia, who produced G3
Pinnacle S. victrix and GI E.P. Taylor S. placegetter Moment In
Time (Ire) (Tiger Hill {Ire}), is a half-sister to dual G2 Lonsdale
Cup scorer Opinion Poll (Ire) (Halling) from the family of G1

Epona Plays | racingfotos.com
EPONA PLAYS STRIKES AT GOWRAN
Coming off a third placing in the G3 Snow Fairy Fillies S. at The
Curragh on Aug. 28, Renzo Forni=s Epona Plays (Ire) (Australia
{GB}) confirmed her continuing progression as her late flourish
proved enough to take Saturday=s G3 Denny Cordell Lavarack &
Lanwades Stud Fillies S. at Gowran Park. Tackling a further 100
yards than last time, the extra distance was ideal as the 9-2 shot
was delivered from mid-division in the straight by Billy Lee to
oust Etneya (Ire) (Siyouni {Fr}) in the last half-furlong and score
by a neck. There was a five-length margin back to Cerro Bayo
(Ire) (Dansili {GB}) in third and the winning trainer Willie
McCreery is hoping Epona Plays can go further up the ranks.
AI thought she was a decent filly last year and she ran a
cracking race in Leopardstown. It=s taken her a while to get
going, but she loves it here. She=s progressing well and they
went a proper gallop. Billy said she was just behind the bit lovely
all the way and when he asked her she was always going to
respond. He said she did it snugly in the end. I=m delighted for
the owner-breeder Renzo Forni and his daughter Raffaello.
That=s the fourth of that family that has won for me and the
three fillies have all got black-type. She had a little niggle earlier
in the year that we have sorted out and she=s coming on the
whole time. She=s a lovely scopey filly and goes on any ground.@
Pedigree Notes Epona Plays, who had broken her maiden on her sixth start at
this venue on July 25 and finished fourth in the Listed Hurry
Harriet S. over this track and trip on Aug. 12 prior to her Snow
Fairy effort, is out of the unraced New Plays (Ire) (Oratorio {Ire})
whose G3 Athasi S.-winning Dolce Strega (Ire) (Zoffany {Ire}) and
Listed Ruby S. second Bumbasina (Ire) (Canford Cliffs {Ire}) were
two of the fillies McCreery was referring to. The second dam
Sagamartha (GB) (Rainbow Quest) produced the G2 Doncaster
Cup runner-up Darley Sun (Ire) (Tiger Hill {Ire}) and is kin to the
G2 Lowther S. and G2 Queen Mary S. winner Flashy Wings (GB)
(Zafonic), who also placed three times in Group 1 company. The
dam=s 2-year-old colt by Gleneagles (Ire) unfortunately died, but
she also has a colt foal by Muhaarar (GB).

LAZULI SWOOPS FOR TROPHY SUCCESS Still relatively unexposed as a sprinter, Godolphin=s Lazuli (Ire)
(Dubawi {Ire}) put two defeats behind him when capturing
Saturday=s five-furlong G3 Dubai International Airport World
Trophy at Newbury. Having looked a potential star in this
category when beating the subsequent G1 Flying Five runner-up
Keep Busy (Ire) (Night of Thunder {Ire}) by 3 1/2 lengths in
Sandown=s Listed Scurry S. over this trip on June 13, the bay had
run fifth in the July 5 G3 Coral Charge over that course and
distance and fourth in Deauville=s Listed Prix Moonlight Cloud
stretched to six on Aug. 9. Chasing the two pace-setters early
and leading the main group, the 5-2 second favourite stayed on
to lead passing the furlong pole and score by a length from
Tis Marvellous (GB) (Harbour Watch {Ire}) in track-record time.
AWhen he won at Sandown, he bossed the race but won in a
good time and gave me a great feeling,@ jockey William Buick
commented. AHe has shown today that he can fight for it as well,
against older opposition too. He is a very fast horse, who is only
a 3-year-old and is going to get better next year.@ Charlie
Appleby added, AI was delighted with the performance of Lazuli,
who enjoyed the drop back to five furlongs and beat some very
strong older sprinters. The likelihood now is that we will put him
away and take him out to Dubai for the Carnival.@
Pedigree Notes
Lazuli=s dam Floristry (GB) (Fasliyev), who was successful in the
Listed Doncaster S. over six furlongs as a 2-year-old, also has two
other black-type performers headed by the similarly-speedy
Listed Prix Contessina winner Inspiriter (GB) (Invincible Spirit
{Ire}) who is in turn the dam of the G3 Mahab Al Shimaal runner-
up Leading Spirit (Ire) (Exceed and Excel {Aus}). A half to the
G3 Prix de Lieurey winner Zibelina (Ire) (Dansili {GB}), in turn the
dam of the stable's promising G3 Prix de Ris-Orangis winner
Royal Crusade (GB) (Shamardal), she is a granddaughter of the
G2 Sun Chariot S. winner Talented (GB) (Bustino {GB}) whose
progeny list features the G2 Dante S. winner and G1 Prince of
Wales=s S. and G1 Epsom Derby-placed Carlton House (Street
Cry {Ire}). Floristry=s 2-year-old colt by Dark Angel (Ire) is named
Great Hunter (Ire), while she also has a filly foal by Shamardal.

Elarqam | racingfotos.com
ELARQAM RETURNS TO WINNING WAYS So close to getting his Group 1 when in his pomp last summer,
Shadwell=s Elarqam (GB) (Frankel {GB}) had fallen out of sorts of
late but clicked back into gear with a game win in Saturday=s
G3 Dubai Duty Free Legacy Cup at Newbury. Rested since
finishing sixth in the July 25 G2 York S., the 2-1 second favourite
was sent to the front from the outset by Jim Crowley and set an
honest tempo. Briefly headed by Gifts of Gold (Ire) (Invincible
Spirit {Ire}) inside the final three furlongs, the homebred proved
too tough for that rival and for the latecomer Desert Encounter
(Ire) (Halling) who he held by 1 1/2 lengths at the line. AIt was
lovely to see him battle there and he=s a much better horse on
top of the ground,@ Crowley said. AHe got his own way out in
front and he enjoyed it and when the other horse headed him it
helped him and gave him something to aim at. He=s been highly-
tried and has plenty of ability. It=s good to see him back on
track.@
Third and possibly unlucky in the 2019 G1 Juddmonte
International S., Elarqam had flopped when subsequently
seventh in the G1 Irish Champion S. at Leopardstown last
September but returned from a winter=s break to run the
subsequent G1 Prince of Wales=s S. hero Lord North (Ire)
(Dubawi {Ire}) to a short head in the G3 Brigadier Gerard S. also
over a mile and a quarter at Haydock on June 7. Only sixth trying
12 furlongs in the G2 Hardwicke S. at Royal Ascot on June 19,
the bay was favourite for the York S. but folded relatively tamely
so questions were hanging over him ahead of this re-
introduction.
AIf you look at his form last year, you would have said he
should be winning a Group 1 this year and unfortunately it
hasn=t fallen his way,@ trainer Mark Johnston said. AWe were
running out of opportunities and that is why we came here, as
there wasn=t really anywhere else to go. Everything has gone his
way today, so it was good to see.@
TDN EUROPE • PAGE 6 OF 20 • THETDN.COM SUNDAY • 20 SEPTEMBER 2020
AIt has been a frustrating season. When you look at his run in
the Juddmonte last year, you would have said he showed there
he was well and truly a Group 1 horse,@ he added. AWith a
pedigree like his, you would expect to see him get a Group 1 for
a good stud job. I don=t think it matters where you run him. He is
a bit lazy. If you think back to his best run this year at Haydock,
given another 100 yards he would have got back up. He just gets
a bit idle in front and needs something to aim at. If they sprint at
him too quickly, it doesn=t give him time to respond. I don=t
know what we do now to be honest. I just wanted to get
another win back under his belt, but we are running out of
opportunities.@
Pedigree Notes Elarqam=s dam Attraction (GB) (Efisio {GB}) still rates as this
stable=s leading performer with five victories at the highest level
including the G1 English and Irish 1000 Guineas and
G1 Coronation S. She has also produced the G3 Sapphire S.-
winning sire Fountain of Youth (Ire) (Oasis Dream {GB}) and the
GIII My Charmer H. runner-up Cushion (GB) (Galileo {Ire}), while
the second dam Flirtation (GB) (Pursuit of Love {GB}) is also
responsible for the GIII Hillsborough S. runner-up Federation
(GB) (Motivator {GB}) and the dam of the listed-winning and
group-placed Titi Makfi (GB) (Makfi {GB}).
Also related to the G1 Prix de la Salamandre-winning sire Lord
of Men (GB) (Groom Dancer), Attraction=s unraced 2-year-old
colt and yearling colt are also by Frankel while she has a colt foal

Monsoon Moon (GB) (Kingman {GB}) and the half-sister to last
year=s G1 St Leger winner Logician (GB) (Frankel {GB}) was in
uncompromising mood as she duly earned TDN Rising Star
status over Newmarket=s mile. Always travelling strongly under
Ryan Moore tracking the early pace, the 2-5 favourite who was
third on debut behind TDN Rising Star Love Is You (Ire) (Kingman
{GB}) at Ascot a fortnight previously was still full of running
when sent to the front two out. In total command from there,
the grey was chased to the line by the fellow John Gosden-
trained debutante Haija (Fr) (Shalaa {Ire}) but was 3 1/4-lengths
too strong there as she in turned pulled seven lengths clear of
Naflah (Fr) (Territories {Ire}). The latter had been four lengths
adrift of Monsoon Moon at Ascot, putting a clear marker on the
race in which Godolphin=s newcomer Sayyida (GB) (Dubawi

the start and finished last.
Gosden is understandably in no rush with the winner.

Armstrongs In Line For Profitable Sale cont. from p1
He is by Mehmas (Ire), who is currently leading first-season
sire, and his half-sister is none other than recent G1 Matron S.
winner Champers Elysees (Ire) (Elzaam {Aus}). This success for
Champers Elysees was not the first update she had given her
little brother, as prior to her Group 1 success she had also
progressed from a listed win to Group 3 glory in the Fairy Bridge
S.
Could anyone have foreseen this progression? Well maybe the
Armstrongs could. "I remember last year seeing Champers
Elysees in the parade ring at Naas before the Birdcatcher
Handicap," Chris recalls. "She was a big, rangy filly, and I thought
whatever she does in 2019 would be a bonus, and, thankfully,
she's gone on this year. I was actually at Galway the night she
won the listed race. It was nice to see her win it. Then she went
up 16 pounds to a mark of 110, which is a fair bit, even though
she was impressive, but, thankfully, she was able to justify her
mark and she won the Fairy Bridge well."
Before the Matron, Armstrong says he was just hopeful she
would run a credible race--"at least if she was even third or
fourth that would be respectable"--but the filly duly came with a
late run and provided the Armstrongs with not just a boost for
their yearling but also a nice birthday present for Chris.
Cast back to the foal sales of 2019, and Chris recalls what he
liked about the colt sibling that cost i19,000. "He caught the
eye, he was well done by his breeder, Carl Brown,@ Armstrong
says. AHe walked well and was a nice, big colt. We thought
Mehmas had a very good chance of being leading first-season
sire this year, too."

Champers Elysees | Courtesy Beechwood Stud
The colt has taken his preparation well for his intended return
to the sale ring.
"We've been very happy with him. He's developed a lot," says
Armstrong. "He is correct, walks well, has good muscle and we
think he has a nice bit of quality about him; hopefully he'll shine in
the sale over in Newmarket."
As Armstrong points out, the Tattersalls Ireland September
Yearling Sale now takes place at Park Paddocks in Newmarket,
England, a point Armstrong says he believes may be of further
advantage to this particular colt.
"I think it may actually benefit us more,@ he says. AMehmas is on
fire. He had the winner in the Weatherbys Racing Bank 2yo Stakes
race at Doncaster and if I'm right, I think 95% of his winners this
year have been in England. He might be more appealing to the
English market. Mehmas has got a lot of winners, he's got quality
winners, and they seem to be adaptable over any ground and
over five, six and seven furlongs."
While it could be easy to get a little star struck by the above
colt, the Armstrongs have another offering as part of their
Beechvale Stud consignment and although the colt doesn't boast
a Group 1 update he has merits that could also see a good return.
"We literally just saw him before he went into the ring last year
and we actually didn't bid on him in the ring." Armstrong recalls.
"He wasn't sold so we got him vetted outside the ring afterwards
and we bought him. He's a very well-proportioned colt, he stands
well over the ground. He's done very well throughout the prep
and Profitable seems popular at the moment. He's got a very
good temperament too; we walk him around the roads at home
on a Sunday for something different and he is absolutely
bomb-proof. He eats, sleeps, works and he's thrived throughout
the prep."
Chris and Tara have only been pinhooking since 2015 and
combine the task of raising weanlings to sales-ready yearlings
with their full time positions for Aidan and Joseph O'Brien,
respectively. When it comes to picking four-legged investments
the brother and sister team are very much on the same page. "I
suppose when you're only buying four or five each year, both
myself and Tara have to be sure we are happy with what we are
buying,@ Armstrong says. AYou've got to be happy with them
because you look at them for the rest of the year.
The pair have already enjoyed a sale topper when their Night of
Thunder (Ire) colt, bought for i15,000 as foal, led day two of the
Tattersalls October Yearling Sale Book 3 last year when selling for
75,000gns, and a repeat of that experience may not be that far
off.
HARD ROAD AFTER BREXIT CAN STILL BE
EASED by Chris McGrath
There is a species of fish called the Atlantic Horse Mackerel.
Maybe we could generate due political attention and energy if
we started racing them, instead of Thoroughbreds. As it is, the
relative economic footprints of the fishing industry and equine
sport appear wholly immaterial when it comes to the emotional
imperatives of Brexit.
Across the political spectrum, and across the world, we have
become bleakly accustomed to the increasing puerility of
political discourse. Complex policy dilemmas are contorted into
their most provocative form, with the shallow volatilities of
social media cynically harnessed to ideological agendas.
Fishing has become a notoriously literal adaptation of the
insularity that coarsened so much of the Brexit debate. And now
that the debate has moved on, to what happens next, the same
gusts of childish territorialism are enabling hijackers and pirates-
-the political captains addicted to gesture and bravado, rather
than the diligent and patient business of sealing leaks or
repairing torn sails and nets--to drive us all towards the rocks of
no deal.

Brexit has thrown European horse travel
regulations into uncertainty | Getty Images
This is not the place to highlight the hazards that actually
loom, as a result, for British trawlers (which export the majority
of their catch). But what our own industry does need to
understand is how governments are meanwhile setting adrift
the ferries transporting our horseboxes from December.
How many of us are truly aware of the consequence of a hard
Brexit, followed next spring by the 2021 E.U. Animal Health
Law? Certainly I had no real sense of the catastrophic
impracticalities ahead until the publication, this week, of a
dossier compiled by a Task Force representing a variety of
international industry
federations.
They have been convening
weekly since May. One of the
most elementary premises of
their analysis was to compute,
for the first time, the collective
economic value of racing,
breeding and equestrianism in
Europe. At i52.1 billion per
annum, with a payroll of
210,000 direct jobs and over
500,000 overall, it far exceeds
the fishing industry.
Apparently, however, that is
not enough for the British, Irish
and French governments to
prioritise a replacement for the
tripartite agreement that has long facilitated the free movement
of elite horses. Evolved over 50 years, that exemplary
agreement both verified and streamlined the health status of
horses, applying international codes of practice for the control
of equine diseases, including such virulent conditions as CEM,
EVA and EIA.
Absolutely fundamental as these precautions are, the three
relevant governments have apparently manifested a staggering
fatalism about the agreement lapsing with Brexit. As things
stand, the routine but priceless traffic of Thoroughbreds--traffic
predicated, whether for competition or breeding or sale, on
certification of the highest status of health and welfare--is going
to be drastically affected.
If no trade deal is agreed, Britain will in December assume
default "third country" standards for trade. That will entail
isolation and residence requirements, disease testing, export
health certification, and E.U. entry through designated Border
Inspection Posts. Next April, however, still more stringent
restrictions will be enforced by the E.U. Animal Health Law. You
could certainly forget the "walk-in" mare crossing between the
U.K. or Ireland to visit a stallion.
Already from December we can look forward to horseboxes
joining queues of freight held up at ports and frontiers.
Moreover the construction of Border Inspection Posts, hitherto
unnecessary for the movement of horses, has been suspended
in response to the latest Wild West exhibitionism from those
directing the British negotiating strategy.
And, by the way, you can see the Machiavellian calculations
behind legislation that deliberately flouts international law.
Having flushed out nearly all the parliamentarians of
old-fashioned principle and honour from the party of
government, those holding the
tiller now just need the House
of Lords to make a stand
instead. Then, perhaps, we will
again hear the disingenuous,
incendiary hue-and-cry about
"elitist" obstruction of the
popular will.
Even if such inspection points
were ready for use, however,
no layman could begin to grasp
the terrifying risk to
highly-strung mares with foals
at foot; or a yearling on its way
to a sale where it might be
valued in millions; or a
champion travelling for a race
dependent for its Group 1
status on international competition.
More than half the horses sold at the principal Tattersalls sales,
remember, have either arrived from an E.U. nation or will be
sold to one. And of the Thoroughbreds sold by Irish vendors, at
an estimated annual value of i438 million, 76% were exported
to Britain in 2019.
Nor are the problems confined to traffic in and out of Britain,
which also serves as landbridge for thousands of horses annually
travelling between Ireland and France, and all points of the
European continent beyond. The unusually dynamic working life
of the racehorse can be measured by 20,892 cross-border
movements, temporary or permanent, recorded between
France, Ireland and Britain in 2017.
Then there are the tariffs likely to arise from the UK's new
status as a "third country"; and VAT differences between the UK
and E.U. But the real runaway train, hurtling down the tracks, is
the E.U.'s new Animal Health legislation, which stipulates
residency requirements prior to travel.
Think of the nightmares created for sales consignors and
auction houses, if you have to accommodate all stock on site for
the critical 30 days leading up to its appearance in the ring.
TDN EUROPE • PAGE 12 OF 20 • THETDN.COM SUNDAY • 20 SEPTEMBER 2020
SALE TOPPERSSGA SELECT YEARLING SALE
Conversely, a maximum residency of just 90 days is ordained
for mares visiting stallions. Ninety days! For a pregnant mare to
arrive safely in advance of her due date; to deliver her foal; to
return to a coverable oestrus, and potentially require repeat
covers; and to be verified as in foal after a reliable interval.
The Task Force wants to spread awareness of these appalling
challenges. But it also wants to meet them. Perhaps the most
instructive utterance of the whole Brexit saga was that Britain
"has had enough of experts." But the assiduous example of
these far-sighted and public-spirited horsemen could be usefully
borrowed by those too busy brandishing flags or sabres to
devote themselves to actually recognising and solving problems.
As things stand, unfortunately, the solution proposed by the
Task Force has yet to be embraced by governments and
regulatory authorities. That solution, self-driven and self-funded
by the industry, already exists: the digital passport. The Task
Force dossier elaborates its real-time efficiency and reliability in
terms of integrity, biosecurity, traceability and welfare. Told that
the paper passport system must continue, its authors have
suggested a compromise. (Quaint notion! Can they please take
over the broader negotiations, once their work is done?) They
now urge a dual system, in which paper and electronic passports
can operate in tandem.
It is not too late; not quite yet. The calamitous hobbling of
international equine traffic is still preventable. A comprehensive
Free Trade Agreement would maintain uninhibited movement
of both "high health" horses and temporary movements of their
essential, skilled companions, from grooms to veterinarians to
jockeys. But every restriction on that fluid ecosystem will cause
grave economic damage to an industry that already operates on
precarious margins. The Task Force is not looking to cause panic.
But it does need us all to heed its warnings, and assist its
lobbying. Because time is running out. And if you think all this is
too difficult, wait until you have to put a saddle on a fish.
CHURCHILL FILLY LEADS SGA YEARLING SALE Italy=s Societa Gestione Aste held its one-day yearling sale in
Milan Saturday, with two fillies bringing six figures. A total of
147 youngsters were catalogued with 130 offered after outs,
and 84 sold for a clearance rate of 64.6% and an aggregate of
i1,651,000. The average was i19,655, and the median
i11,000. Predictably given the economic climate, figures took a
hit from 2019 when 83 yearlings grossed i2,423,000.
The average and median had both experienced huge jumps
last year to i29,193 and i18,000, respectively.
A first-crop daughter of Churchill (Ire) led the way at
i120,000. Lot 74 was offered by Razza del Velino and
purchased by Alfalasi Mohamed Saeed Ali. She is a half to a pair
of local stakes winners in Sweet Gentle Kiss (Ire)
(Henrythenavigator) and Sunset Key (Ire) (Tamayuz {GB}), and
the dam herself was third in the G3 Italian 1000 Guineas.
Churchill=s Coolmore barnmate Australia (GB) has been
experiencing a purple patch as of late, including a new Group 3
winner in Epona Plays (Ire) at Gowran Park on Saturday, and
leading local owners Scuderia Incolinx paid i100,000 for a filly
by the son of Galileo (lot 14) early in the sale. She is likewise a
half to two stakes winners: the G3 Premio Elena e Sergio Cumani
scorer Candy Store (Ire) (Lope De Vega {Ire}) and Group 3
winner The Conqueror (Ire) (Excelebration {Ire}) and out of the

mountain to climb again. If it had gone quite right last year, she
obviously wouldn=t be trying to do it this year.
AIt looks a fantastic race; Aidan O=Brien is fielding a wonderful
filly in Love, who naturally being a 3-year-old gets all the weight,
which Enable benefited from when she won as a 3-year-old, and
there are some great older horses. It is very exciting--she is in
great form to attempt the impossible. Frankie [Dettori] will
hopefully be here next week to ride her in some work and help
bring her up to the race.@
Enable will meet her illustrious staying stablemate Stradivarius
(Ire) (Sea The Stars {Ire}) for the first time on a racecourse in the
Arc. Stradivarius shortened up to 2400 metres when second in
the G2 Prix Foy on Sept. 13.
AIn the Prix Foy, Mickael Barzalona was riding [winner]
Anthony Van Dyck and he went nice gentle fractions,@ Gosden
said. AIn the French trials they do not like to overdo them, they
come into the straight and then kick. I thought for a
two-and-a-half-mile Ascot Gold Cup winner he showed great
acceleration down the straight. The other horses behind never
got to them. I thought both horses ran lovely races and he came
up a neck short. I could not have been happier with him.@
Two of Gosden=s Group 1-winning 3-year-olds, Palace Pier
(GB) (Kingman {GB}) and Mishriff (GB) (Make Believe {GB}),
have dates on British Champions Day, in the G1 Queen Elizabeth
II S. and G1 Qipco Champion S. respectively.
AWe are very much looking at the QEII with Palace Pier,@
Gosden said. AWe were very happy with the [G1] Jacques le
Marois--we wanted that straight mile for him. They did have an
excessive amount of rain, so it was very soft, but he handled it
well. There is a strong possibility that he stays in training as a
4-year-old, in which case it will probably be his last run of the
season as we are getting deep into October. I didn=t really want
to be whizzing him off to Hong Kong or America at this stage,
maybe we will do that sort of thing next year. Hopefully he runs
a big race in the QEII, and we will be waiting to run him again as
a 4-year-old.@

FIRST-SEASON SIRESWITH RUNNERS
Of the G1 Prix du Jockey Club victor Mishriff, Gosden added,
AWe thought about the Arc. We looked at the pedigree and to
me, he is not fully furnished and strengthened yet. He is still
improving and the Arc at this stage of his career could do more
harm than good. We decided we will stay at a mile and a quarter
and he will be going to the Champion S. I=d expect him to put up
a pretty big show.@
Gosden said the G3 Cumberland Lodge S. could be on the
agenda for last year=s G1 St Leger winner Logician (GB) (Frankel
{GB}) following his recent winning return off an extended layoff
due to peritonitis.
JOEL DATE FOR BENBATL
Benbatl (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}) will make his belated return to
action in Friday=s G2 Joel S. at Newmarket. The 6-year-old won a
pair of Group 2s at Meydan over the winter but hasn=t been
seen since finishing third in the Saudi Cup. He was scratched
from the G2 Celebration Mile on Aug. 29 after the ground went
soft. AHe=ll go for the Joel, he=s working well and he=s in good
form. We=ve been waiting for a while to run him,@ said trainer
Saeed bin Suroor. AWe wanted to go to Goodwood and then
there was a race at Haydock, but the ground was heavy. Instead
we=ll go to Newmarket for the race he won last year--he won it
well. We=re looking forward to it and looking to see a good
performance from him. The timing is also right for Champions
Day, but he will only go there if the ground is suitable. We took
him last year when it was soft and he didn=t like it. He=s got the
option over a mile [the G1 Queen Elizabeth II S.] and 10 furlongs
[the G1 Champion S.]. We=ll wait and see, we just need to get
him started.@

Looking ring-rusty after his summer break, Addeybb gave
supporters a scare before ultimately stamping his class on this
prep for the G1 Champion S. Entitled to need the experience
having been off the track since finishing runner-up in the
G1 Prince of Wales=s S. at Royal Ascot on June 17, the bay
tracked the early leader and was short of room in the straight
when Tom Marquand was winding up in behind. Eventually
hitting top stride, the Mar. 21 G1 Ranvet S. and Apr. 11
G1 Queen Elizabeth S. hero powered to the front a furlong from
home and was beyond recall as last year=s G1 Queen Anne S.
hero Lord Glitters closed.
AI don=t think he quite realised he was back at the races until
the two pole. He was a dual Group 1 winner giving weight to
some good horses and he=s done it as well as we could have
expected,@ Marquand said. AHe only turns it on when he has to
hence he can go to the other side of the world and not waste a
button of energy until the big day. Hopefully this leads him well
into Champions Day and all goes well there.@ Maureen Haggas
added, AHe=s a wonderful horse who just seems to get better
and better. I thought he would be a good second or third today,
as the ground was too quick for him--he=s at his best on really
slow ground. He did it really well and keeps surprising us.@
Addeybb=s dam Bush Cat (Kingmambo) is a daughter of the
listed-winning and group-placed Arbusha (Danzig), whose stakes
winners are Busha (Mercer Mill) and his full-brother Rip N= Run.
She is a full-sister to the G2 Goldene Peitsche hero Nicholas and
to the dam of the G1 Irish St Leger hero Strategic Choice
(Alleged) with this being the dam line of the U.S. Fillies= Triple
Crown heroine Shuvee (Nashua). Bush Cat, whose first foal Meer
Kat (Ire) (Red Ransom) was third in the GIII Generous S., also has
the unraced 2-year-old colt Woody Cat (Fr) (Literato {Fr}) and a
yearling filly by Dream Ahead.

NAHAARR (IRE) (c, 4, Dark Angel {Ire}--Charlotte Rua {Ire}, by
Redback {GB}), who was impressive over this trip at Newbury on
July 19 before finishing ninth as the 3-1 favourite for
Goodwood=s Stewards= Cup on Aug. 1, was again well-supported
into 7-2 as the market-leader for this similarly prestigious QTS
Ayr Gold Cup. Behind early after a sluggish start, the bay tracked
the group racing up the centre and had plenty still to do a
furlong from home. Lifted by Tom Marquand to enter
contention in the nick of time, he collared Spanish City (GB)
(Exceed and Excel {Aus}) in the final strides for a half-length
success.

ATo be fair, this horse surprised me with how well he picked up
in that ground and I was galloping into the back of more horses
in that one race than I had in my entire life, he was travelling
that well, and he showed an exceptional turn of foot to pick
them up,@ said Marquand. AHe had the perfect mix of speed and
ability to get the job done today.@ William Haggas added, AHe
missed the break, which I think was a deliberate tactic as Tom
felt he raced a bit freely at Goodwood and he didn=t want that
to happen again today. I think he would have been an unlucky
loser if he hadn=t won.@ The winner is the first foal out of the
dam, whose yearling colt by Awtaad (Ire) is due to sell at next
month=s Tattersalls October Book 3, is kin to the Listed Belgrave

IBIZA ROCKS (GB) (c, 2, Dark Angel {Ire}--The Thrill Is Gone {GB}
{MSP-Eng}, by Bahamian Bounty {GB}), who ran sixth in his
Sept. 4 debut over this distance at Kempton last time, was
smartly into stride and raced in the vanguard from flagfall here.
Nudged along approaching the quarter-mile marker, the 11-1
chance came under increased urging thereafter and quickened
in style inside the final 100 yards to deny Siam Fox (Ire) (Prince
of Lir {Ire}) by 3/4-of-a-length. Becoming the second scorer for
three-time stakes placegetter The Thrill Is Gone (GB) (Bahamian
Bounty {GB}), he is half to a yearling filly by Muhaarar (GB) and a

Newbury winner Oo De Lally (Ire) (Vadamos {Fr}) took part in
the seven-furlong Ascot maiden won by >TDN Rising Star= La
Barrosa (Ire) (Lope de Vega {Ire}) on Sept. 4, had shown much
more than that rival when a highly encouraging third with
notable market support behind him and was backed into a
suitably prohibitively short starting price of 2-5 for this much
easier task. Settled third early enjoying the perfect stalking trip,
the bay was sent past the long-time leader No Day Never (Ire)
(No Nay Never) by Eoin Walsh approaching the furlong marker
en route to a four-length success. The dam is the G3 Frankfurter
Stutenpreis winner, who also produced the Listed Prix de l=Avre

furlongs in the Ascot maiden won by >TDN Rising Star= La Barrosa
(Ire) (Lope de Vega {Ire}) on Sept. 4, broke well to race in a close
second throughout the early stages. In front approaching two
out, the bay was pushed out to score by 3/4 of a length from
Aratus (Ire) (Free Eagle {Ire}) at a huge starting price of 125-1. AIt
was a very pleasant surprise--I had said to the owner that he is
one for later down the line,@ trainer Andrew Balding said. AHe
works alright at home, but he didn=t show a lot at Ascot. He=s
sharpened up for that and is a fine, good-looking horse.@ The
dam is a daughter of the G2 Ribblesdale S. winner Bahr (GB)

Oaks and GI Flower Bowl Invitational before producing the G1

to hold the late charge of fellow British raider Cosmic Princess
for a first stakes rosette.
Sea of Faith becomes the fourth stakes winner for Jumooh
(GB) (Monsun {Ger}) and she is a full-sister to G1 Sydney Cup
hero Shraaoh (Ire), G3 Bahrain Trophy victor Raheen House
(Ire), an unraced 2-year-old filly and a yearling filly. The March-
foaled homebred bay is also kin to last year=s Listed Montrose
Fillies= S. winner Born With Pride (Ire) (Born To Sea {Ire}) and a
weanling colt by Le Havre (Ire). Jumooh is a half-sister to G2
Queen Mary S.-winning G1 1000 Guineas third Maqaasid (GB)
(Green Desert) and to the dam of G1 San Isidro victor Il Fornaio
(Arg). Sea of Faith=s stakes-winning third dam Sarayir (Mr.
Prospector), herself a daughter of MGSW matriarch Height of
Fashion (Fr) (Bustino {GB}), has three black-type winners to her
credit headed by G1 1000 Guineas and G1 Coronation S. heroine
Ghanaati (Giant=s Causeway), who in turn produced G3 Mahab
Al Shimaal winner Wafy (Ire) (Dubawi {Ire}).

PIECEDERESISTANCE (IRE) (c, 2, Gleneagles {Ire}--Positive Step

initial exchanges of this debut. Comfortable on the front end for
the most part, the 19-10 chance was shaken up with 300 metres
remaining and kept on well under whipless coaxing in the
closing stages to comfortably hold Rakeez (GB) (Dubawi {Ire})
and Django Unchained (Fr) (Pastorius {Ger}) by 1 1/4 lengths and
a neck. He is the sixth of eight foals and becomes the third

the two pole, the 29-10 favourite took control with 300 metres
remaining and was ridden out to hold the late bid of Gold Haze

Stunning Performance By Classique Legend
Another Win For Dame Giselle
Savabeel's Probabeel Back In Winning Form
Orderofthegarter Earns Caulfield Cup Favoritism
Comprehensive Black-Type Results
BEHEMOTH STRIKESANOTHER BLOW
by Paul Vettise
Towering sprinter Behemoth (All Too Hard) delivered another
performance to match his impressive stature when he again
outmuscled a Group 1 line-up to power away with the Sir Rupert
Clarke S. at Caulfield.
There was never going to be any David slaying the Goliath
from South Australia ending to this story and Behemoth was
simply too big and far too strong at Caulfield.
The David Jolly-trained giant is now unbeaten this campaign
after successfully resuming in the G3 Spring S. at Morphettville
and then claiming the G1 Memsie S. in dominant fashion at
Caulfield and his return was just as emphatic.
Behemoth settled in the second division of the field and once
rider Craig Williams, sporting the silks of Grand Syndicates,
worked him into the clear in the straight he came with long
strides to post the seventh victory of his 17-start career.
AFull credit to David Jolly and his team and Sam Lyons and
Grand Syndicates who have all been so patient and now they are
getting the results with this big fellow, who is so well named,@
Williams said.
AHe=s an awesome horse and makes my job so easy. I spoke to
David and Sam this morning and they were full of confidence.
His performance was excellent and we got a nice run and when
he got clear running he really did launch late so credit to him.@
Behemoth=s late surge took him obe-length clear the post of
Tony and Calvin McEvoy=s Dollar For Dollar (High Chaparral
{Ire}), who made all the play in front, and he boxed on strongly
to finish second ahead of his half-sister and stablemate Pretty
Brazen (Brazen Beau). The Lindsey Smith-prepared longshots
Achernar Star (Gingerbread Man) and Reykjavik (Artie Schiller
{USA}) were next to cross the line ahead of the 3-year-old
Tagaloa (Lord Kanaloa {Jpn}), who fought on strongly to be less
than two lengths off the winner. It was Williams=s sixth win in
the race which took his Group 1- winning tally to six lengths.
AIt=s been a good race to me and a great race for my family, my
Dad won it as a jockey and trainer and I=d like to thank all my
team for all their support,@ Williams said.
AI also want to thank all the people out there supporting racing
through this pandemic. It=s been challenging times, especially in
Victoria, and we=re still able to showcase these great
thoroughbred athletes in a safe way.@
Topweight No Issue Behemoth was saddled with topweight and gave weight and a
beating to all-comers, but Williams was far from surprised with
the performance.
AYes, he carried 60kg and the minimum in this race was 54kg
so he had to do it really hard, but he was the best horse in the
race and he warranted that weight,@ he said.
AHe=s doing a really good job and I=m just lucky to get to jump
on him in race day. All the credit goes the people that are
spending all the time to develop this big, raw talent.@

Pedigree Notes: Behemoth was originally purchased out of Tyreel Stud=s draft
at the Inglis Great Southern Sale for $120,000 by Heritage
Bloodstock and then secured by Grand Syndicates for just $6000
at the Gold Coast National Yearling Sale where he was offered
by Riversdale Stud.
They were willing to be forgiving for less than satisfactory x-ray
reports and Behemoth has rewarded their approach with stake
earnings now in excess of $1.6 million.
He is a son of the Listed Schweppervescence S. winner Penny
Banger (Zedrich) and she is a half-sister to the stakes winner and
G1 WATC Derby placegetter Mister Mix (Surtee).

WALLER RIDES CREST OF A WAVE
by TDN AusNZ
Chris Waller had all the aces to play in the G1 George Main S.
at Randwick and with two of them dealt to him by Waikato Stud
stallion Ocean Park (NZ) he scooped the pool in Saturday=s
feature.
Kolding (NZ) (Ocean Park {NZ}) returned to the winner=s stall
for the first time since winning the $7.5 million Golden Eagle
with an upset victory here.
The 5-year-old gelding settled in second outside Dreamforce
(Fastnet Rock) and hit front with 200 metres to go, holding off
his stablemates to score by 0.4 lengths.
Waller landed the first four in the seven runner field as Star Of
The Seas (NZ) (Ocean Park {NZ}) flashed home to finish second,
with Imaging (GB) (Oasis Dream {GB}) a further 0.2l away in
third and Verry Elleegant (NZ) (Zed {NZ}) came home in fourth.
Pedigree Notes: A NZ$170,000 New Zealand Bloodstock National Yearling Sale

BARY AND RIDDELL TURN BACK CLOCKby TDN AusNZ
The old firm of trainer John Bary and jockey Jonathan Riddell
reunited at Hastings to deliver a knockout blow with Callsign
Mav (NZ) (Atlante), upsetting all pre-race predictions with a
boilover win in the G1 Tarzino Trophy. Callsign Mav stunned
punters when he capitalised on an economical run to land a
winning blow at 85 to one. The 4-year-old camped in behind the
leaders and when the field fanned out in the straight he was
through in a flash and hit the line full of running. A fresh Supera
(NZ) (Savabeel) powered home from well back to finish second
ahead of the favourite Avantage (Fastnet Rock), who looked to
have her chance, and Jennifer Eccles (NZ) (Rip Van Winkle {Ire})
made a pleasing return for fourth.
Pedigree Notes: Callsign Mav was bred by Windsor Park Stud and sold at New
Zealand Bloodstock=s National Yearling Sale for NZ$3000. He is a
son of Raadisi (NZ) (Volksraad {NZ}) and she is a half-sister to the
G1 New Zealand S. winner The Party Stand (NZ) (Thorn Park).
Also featuring in this family is the G1 Oakleigh Plate winner
and sire Kenvain and the dual Group 1 winner Mr Murphy
