DUBAWI FILLY LEADS WAY AT TATTERSALLS
by Emma Berry
NEWMARKET, UKCHorses of varying ages with a connection to
the beleaguered South African businessman Markus Jooste
dominated the first day of the Tattersalls July Sale, at which the
thrice-raced, regally-bred Award Winning (Ire) (Dubawi {Ire})
set the pace when sold for 350,000gns.
The 3-year-old half-sister to group winners Royal Bench (Ire)
(Whipper), Mayhem (Ire) (Whipper) and Memphis Tennessee
(Ire) (Hurricane Run {Ire}), offered as lot 221, was signed for by
Blandford Bloodstock=s Tom Goff, who saw off underbidder
Bertrand Le Metayer with his final offer on behalf of an Irish
client who wished to remain anonymous.
AShe=s for a client who has been talking about buying a Dubawi
mare for a long time,@ Goff said. AIt's a wonderful outcross
pedigree and considering what she made as a yearling we=re
very pleased to get her. She=s a filly we=ve been watching for a
while.@
The last time Award Winning had been seen in the same ring
was three years ago at the December Foal Sale when she was
sold by co-breeder Knocktoran Stud for 720,000gns to the
Mayfair Speculators. In her three starts, which included victory
in a Wetherby novice stakes in April, she raced for the
partnership of Sue Magnier, Derrick Smith, Michael Tabor and
Markus Jooste.
Just two lots earlier (219), Goff had picked up another well-
bred filly from the Castlebridge Consignment for a different but
also unnamed client, this one based in America. C=est Ca (Ire),
the daughter of Galileo (Ire) and GI Frizette S. winner A Z
Warrior (Bernardini) who raced once in France for the Mayfair
Speculators and Michael Tabor, will now cross the Atlantic after
being bought for 320,000gns. Her Book 1 yearling price was
750,000gns.
AShe has a lovely page and if you think how strong the
December Sale is here then this is a great opportunity to buy
fillies like this at this time of year,@ Goff added.
Earlier in the day the agent had also signed for lot 142, Baby
Pink (Ire) (Invincible Spirit {Ire}) at 160,000gns and she too will
be heading towards the United States.
The 3-year-old is out of the Group 3 winner Dress Rehearsal
(Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) and from the family of treble Group 2-
winning sprinter Muthmir (Ire) (Invincible Spirit {Ire}). Cont. p2

Tattersalls July Sale Cont.
AShe=s a lovely broodmare prospect and has been bought for a
US-based breeder,@ Goff said. AWe know the family wellCI
bought her half-brother Christophermarlowe (Ire) for $200,000
at Saratoga and he is all Galileo, just like her.@
Last year=s record-breaking trade will be hard to emulate as
the sale continues through the next two days. During the sale=s
opener, there were 19 fewer lots offered than in the
corresponding session last year and the aggregate dipped
significantly, by 23%, to 5,407,000gns. The average of 25,995gns
was down by 17% and the median of 9,000gns dropped by 10%.
A clearance rate of 77% was attained for 208 horses sold from
the 270 put through the ring on Wednesday.
Early Yearling Stars... While domestic fans waited for a good result for England in the
World Cup, it was Italy and then Germany who scored first in the
sales ring as the July Sale=s curioCthree yearling fillies by
champion sire Galileo (Ire)Csold to Federico Barberini and
Ronald Rauscher.
The German agent waited until the last of the trio was in the
ring and went to 300,000gns in pursuit of lot 191, the late May
foal out of Milanova (Ire) ((Danehill), a Group 3-winning half-
sister to Holy Roman Emperor (Ire).
Rauscher could not name his client but said, AWe haven=t quite
decided where she will go into training eventually but there=s
plenty of time to think about that. I thought she was lovely for
her birth date, she handled herself well and vetted well. She=s
very typical of the family and there=s plenty that=s not even on
the page, such as Night Shift and Encosta De Lago (Aus).@
The filly is a great granddaughter of Jean-Louis LJvesque=s
champion racemare and producer Fanfreluche (Northern
Dancer), whose offspring include the Canadian champions
Medaille d=Or, L=Enjoleur and La Voyageuse.
Rauscher added, AI have to admit I=m a bit biased towards the
pedigree because it=s an old Jean-Louis LJvesque family and I
worked at Windfields, but she has plenty of future paddock
value.@
Barberini, acting on behalf of Paul Dunkley=s Apple Tree Stud
and standing in the gangway with Robert Thornton, struck first
to buy lot 189, the filly from Meon Valley Stud=s great
foundation family of Reprocolor (GB), for 220,000gns.

Having secured the good-moving daughter of Timbuktu (Ire)
(Fastnet Rock {Aus}) for under their budget, the duo acted
quickly to ensure that the following lot (190) will also eventually
make her home in the paddocks of the Gloucestershire-based
Apple Tree Stud. The daughter of GI Garden City Breeders= Cup
S. winner Luas Line (Ire) (Danehill) brought the hammer down at
150,000gns.
AIt=s all about our broodmare band and we=re building it up
slowly,@ said Thornton, a former leading jump jockey who now
manages Apple Tree Stud for Dunkley. AWe=re taking our time
doing things and these fillies will be raced and then come back
to the farm for life. We had intended only to buy one but we=d
had them all vetted and we decided you don=t get that many
chances to buy fillies like this.@
He added, AWe have seven broodmares at the farm at present
and some fillies in training, and we have another two yearlings
to go into training with these two.@ Cont. p4

Tattersalls July Sale Cont.
Teofilo Chips In... When Galileo wasn=t
dominating the day=s more
expensive purchases, his son
Teofilo (Ire) was also playing a
leading role and featured as the
sire of Crystal Diamond (GB) (lot
163), the 7-year-old French
listed winner who was offered in
foal to Pivotal (GB) from the
Godolphin draft.
Matt Houldsworth placed the
final bid of 150,000gns on behalf
of Coolmore Australia=s Michael
Kirwan and said, AShe is in-foal
to Pivotal, who is a great stallion.
She is a stakes winner and I
thought she was a stand-out today.@
Teofilo=s well-travelled son Arod (Ire) (lot 245) brought a bid of
145,000gns from Richard Brown of Blandford Bloodstock who
confirmed that the 7-year-old will continue to be trained by
David Simcock for a new syndicate.
Raced initially by Qatar Bloodstock, Arod won the G3 Diomed
S. and G2 Summer Mile at four for Peter Chapple-Hyam and
later joined Simcock after a stint
in Australia with Chris Waller.
His most recent success came in
the Listed Foundation S. at
Windsor on May 14.
AThis was almost a no-brainer,@
said Brown. AWe know him well,
he retains his form, he can run in
a lot of valuable races, he can
travel and he is entered on
Saturday in the G2 Summer Mile
at Ascot, a race he has won
before. If he goes home from
the sales here and is healthy and
David is happy with him, we will
run."
Lot 220, the G3 Lodge Park S
winner Czabo (GB) (Sixties Icon {GB}), was a 340,000gns vendor
buy-back in December and this time around the 5-year-old
mare, offered in foal to Lope De Vega (Ire), was knocked down
to Ross Doyle for 220,000gns.

WAR COMES TO THE JULY COURSE Denied the chance to join his high-class stablemate Calyx (GB)
(Kingman {GB}) at Royal Ascot due to a minor setback, >TDN
Rising Star= Legends of War (Scat Daddy) is primed and ready for
his first major test in Thursday=s G2 Arqana July S. at
Newmarket. Qatar Racing=s four-length Yarmouth debut winner
is up against proven pattern-race performers here, but John
Gosden believes he is made of the right material to figure. AHe
got a temperature and a cough, and his blood was wrong which
meant he missed the Coventry, so thank goodness we didn=t run
him,@ Gosden revealed. AHe comes here fresh and is in good
form. We=ll be looking to run a nice race and he=s got a good
turn of foot so we=ll be looking to put it to best use.@ Cont. p6

War Comes to the July Course Cont.
Second to Calyx in the G2 Coventry S. at the Royal meeting on
June 19, Phoenix Thoroughbred Limited=s Advertise (GB)
(Showcasing {GB}) sets the standard on that form and trainer
Martyn Meade is happy with his demeanour since that occasion.
AHe beat everything on his side in the Coventry, he just didn=t
know anything about the horse on the other side,@ Meade said.
AHaving said that, you can=t take anything away from Calyx, he
looks very good. Nevertheless, it was a very good run from our
horse and, thankfully, we=re not bumping into him this time.
He=s got a favourite=s chance and the ground should be fine for
him, not dissimilar to Ascot. I toyed with the idea of running him
in the Superlative [S. over seven furlongs] on Saturday as he
took a bit of time to get going in both his races, but we decided
to stick to six [furlongs] for now.@
Aidan O=Brien has opted to saddle the G2 Railway S. winner
Van Beethoven (Scat Daddy) under a three-pound penalty for
his success in that June 30 six-furlong contest, which came just a
week after his fourth in Royal Ascot=s Listed Windsor Castle S.
His backing-up of his juveniles at this time of year is unusual, but
this is a colt that seems to be taking a busy schedule in his stride.
Ascot Also-Rans Return... Elsewhere on the card, the G2 Princess of Wales=s Arqana
Racing Club S. features Mirage Dancer (GB) (Frankel {GB}) who
showed last time that he needs this mile-and-a-half trip when
fifth in Royal Ascot=s Listed Wolferton S. over 10 furlongs on
June 19, but the otherwise progressive Juddmonte homebred
has to give 12 pounds to China Horse Club International=s
3-year-old Raa Atoll (GB) (Sea the Stars {Ire}), who was fourth
last time in the G2 King Edward VII S. at this distance at Royal
Ascot on June 22.
In the G3 Bahrain Trophy, another of Khalid Abdullah=s
bluebloods First Eleven (GB) (Frankel {GB}) comes out of
handicap company for the first time and the half-brother to
Kingman (GB) looked ready for this level when an unlucky third
in Royal Ascot=s King George V H. on June 21.
This is traditionally the meeting where the Classic juveniles
start to appear and interestingly, in the 2-year-old fillies= maiden
Frankie Dettori dons the old maroon-and-white silks he
dominated in during the 90s, with Sheikha Al Jalila Racing=s
Handmaiden (GB) (Invincible Spirit {Ire}) one of the main
contenders.

the Tattersalls July Sale on Wednesday, selling for 350,000gns.
Click or tap here to go straight to TDN Europe.
DEL MAR-BOUND JUSTIFYTO BE REASSESSED IN
2-3 WEEKS
China Horse Club, Head of Plains Partners, Starlight Racing and
WinStar Farm=s Triple Crown winner Justify (Scat Daddy), who
was found to have filling in his left front ankle, will travel to
trainer Bob Baffert=s summer base at Del Mar as his connections
continue to monitor the condition, Baffert confirmed to the TDN
Wednesday. As first reported by the Daily Racing Form, the
setback will cause him to miss a potential start in the GI Haskell
Invitational at Monmouth Park July 29.
ATwo to three weeks,@ Baffert told the TDN when asked how
much time the star colt would be given until the next evaluation.
With Justify limited to walking the shedrow as the Baffert crew
takes a cautious approach with the undefeated >TDN Rising
Star,= future racing plans remain up in the air. Baffert said the
filling appeared last week, subsided soon after, but reemerged
in recent days, prompting the decision to back off on his
training.
Justify=s rapid rise to the top of the game began with a maiden
victory at Santa Anita Feb. 18 and saw him add four consecutive
Grade I victories, culminating with a sweep of the Triple Crown
in the GI Belmont S. June 9.

TDN Q & A: PAT CUMMINGSby Bill Finley
What is The Thoroughbred Idea Foundation (TIF)? According to
the press release announcing its formation, it has been
established to create an active forum for the exchange and
curation of ideas which will improve the overall prospects for
the Thoroughbred industry, its stakeholders, and fundamentally,
the horse. Those are huge goals and the person running the ship
will be Patrick Cummings, formerly the executive manager of
public affairs for the Hong Kong Jockey Club. He will be the
executive director of TIF and starts his new job Aug. 1.
Cummings was a recent guest on the Thoroughbred Daily
News podcast, brought to you by Taylor Made. Excerpts from
that podcast appear below.

Pat Cummings
ATo go from a maiden winner in February to an undefeated
Triple Crown winner in June has been an incredible ride,@
WinStar Farm President/CEO and Racing Manager Elliott Walden
said Tuesday. AHe is too special to the owners, our team, and all
the fans he has around the world to not be 100% healthy.@
TDN: Many people don't know what the Thoroughbred Idea
Foundation is, how it will work or what its goals are. Can you
please explain?
PC: There is a reason for that, because we are truly just getting
started. This is the brainchild of Craig Bernick, who wanted to
start something that is
completely different. He
has sat on many of the
boards of the industry
organizations that are
out there, he's been in
the meetings and was of
the opinion that the
complex ideas--and even
the simple ones--aren't
getting completed. The
sport is not improving as
it should be. It should be
growing and it should be more innovative. It got to the point
where Craig said the heck with it, I'm going to start something
on my own. He assembled a tremendous board of nine people
coming from all areas of the industry. Too often, like-minded
people in racing go to their like-minded corner and talk about
like-minded topics and reiterate those same talking points. We
have people coming from many different areas. For example, we
have Paul Matties, who is a significant bettor. The extreme
opposite is Gary Stevens. It's a very diverse board and the goal is
to bring together active people who want to change the sport
for the better. What we won't be doing is talking about the pie
in the sky or these lofty issues that are seemingly impossible to
fix. The goal for us is to take issues that can be tackled and work
within racing's existing infrastructure. For us, the state of North
American Thoroughbred racing can be summed up in three main
statistics over the last decade or so: handle is down roughly
20%; foal crops are down almost 40%; the number of races
being run is down about 25%.

If you take those three big factors and say what has happened,
you have to ask yourself what are we doing to stop this? We're
starting from scratch. We want to take this venture from
nothing to try to inspire the industry and advocate for change.
I'm very excited to be coming home to do it.
TDN: It sounds like this will be a horse racing think tank. You
want good ideas that will help the industry. Where will they
come from? How will they be formed?
PC: You hit the nail on the head. Our new website will be
racingthinktank.com. The ideas are not just coming from the
board or from me. We are going to solicit input from anyone,
industry stakeholders, fans, gamblers. A good idea can come
from anywhere in this sport, just like a good horse can come
from anywhere. But it's about time that we started to curate
those ideas and work together. A lot of people criticize what
goes on in the social media landscape, but there are a lot of
good ideas out there that get tossed about. It's just that very
little gets done. What we're hoping to do is take some of these
ideas, curate those ideas, have people submit ideas through
racingthinktank.com and go from there. One of the heartening
things about this is that once it was announced that I was
coming back from Hong Kong to lead the organization, I had four
different racing executives--and two from particularly big tracks
--reach out and say how can we work with you? I think the
industry is ready for this. A lot of people are exhausted and
there is a lot of industrial malaise when it comes to talking about
these very large issues, like Lasix, medication rules and state
regulations. Those are not the types of things we are interested
in tackling. We are looking for some simple solutions, for some
broken windows and certainly some bigger fixes. The thing is,
they're out there.
TDN HEADLINE NEWS • PAGE 5 OF 10 • THETDN.COM THURSDAY • JULY 12, 2018
TDN: Perhaps coming up with good ideas isn't even the hard
part. If you come up with something innovative and positive,
will people in a sport that is notorious for not changing listen
to you? Does that worry you?
PC: Yes. Horse racing is full of losers. By that I mean, there are
far more losers in horse racing than in any other sport. It's
significantly different than any team sports that are out there. In
the team sports, one team loses, one team wins. Half of the
people, half of the fans, half of the sides are gratified; the other
half are not. On any race day, the majority of people walk away
as losers. You have to deal with a lot of losing in horse racing. So
when topics arise where there is no easy way to win, people just
fight. People fight tooth and nail to come up with any victory
that they can--even when it's obvious that changing something
is vital. I keep going back to the numbers. Handle down, foal
crops down, total races run down. Can we afford to keep doing
the same thing and not try something different? We're going to
approach this positively and very inclusively and see if changes
can't be derived. Frankly, we just have to try. We know most
people want to reject change in racing, but we just can't afford
to anymore.
TDN: If I wanted to bet on tonight's Yankees/Orioles game,
there is a wealth of information available to me about the
teams, the pitchers, how they match up, who can and cannot
hit left-handed pitching, on-base percentages, etc.. And it's all
free. Not only does racing not have nearly as much data
available, but whatever data is available is not free. In fact, it=s
quite expensive. How can racing compete with other forms of
gambling that give data away when we charge an arm and a
leg for ours?
PC: This is an important point and something we want to tackle.
We want to work with Equibase to come to a resolution and
advocate for players as a whole. Of course, Equibase is partially
owned by the racetracks and you would think the racetracks
would want their customers to have as much information as
possible. But it seems they more want the money that comes
from the data more than they want people to have free access
to it. Free access to the information could potentially yield
greater play. You have to try some things first to see if that
would work. I agree wholeheartedly that other sports are doing
a far better job than what we are doing in America from a racing
perspective. There are so many statistical programs and
analytics experts out there. I would have to think a lot of people
would like to get their hands on racing data, but they don't have
the opportunity to do so in an easily accessible format. There's
so much more that racing could have.

I understand that there are limits and there are expenses
associated with acquiring that data. Call me crazy, but I could go
to a racetrack and I could sit there in the stands and chart the
races myself. The fact that any particular horse ran first, second
or third doesn't seem to me to be proprietary information that
someone should pay for. It almost seems like it's a public event
that has taken place. I could chart the races myself, but Equibase
does it for us. But the basic results should be widely available
and they aren't. That's very frustrating to the modern player
who is looking for as much information as possible. I'd like to
posit maybe the opposite. What would happen if we unshackled
the data and invited teams from universities to come in and
have at it? Let people run wild with it and see what they can
come up with on their own and then see what the impact on
handle would be. Try to invite people to come in. The
opportunity would be fantastic to take this age of analytics and
apply it to racing. Let's take the shackles off.

BELINDA STRONACH WRITES CONGRESS IN
SUPPORT OF THE HORSERACING INTEGRITY
ACT Belinda Stronach, the president and chairman of The Stronach
Group, wrote a letter to congress in support of H.R. 2651, the
Horseracing Integrity Act of 2017. Frank Stronach, founder and
honorary chairman of The Stronach Group, previously expressed
his support for the legislation in April 2017.
H.R. 2651 would require that a uniform anti-doping and
medication control program be developed and enforced by a
private, non-profit, self-regulatory organization known as the
Horseracing Anti-Doping and Medication Control Authority.
On June 22, the subcommittee on Digital Commerce and
Consumer Protection, part of the House Committee on Energy
and Commerce, conducted a hearing on the bill. The bill
currently has 126 cosponsors in the House of Representatives.
With the addition of The Stronach Group=s support of H.R.
2651, track associations and organizations that support the bill
now represent 59% of all pari-mutuel handle generated and
63% of all graded races run for Thoroughbreds in North America

THE RACE THAT BELONGS TO SOUTH
AMERICA by Annise Montplaisir
Sport unites nations. People of all cultures and backgrounds
converge on the World Cup every four years. Despite their
different allegiances, they meld together, roaring and
applauding as one enormous audience at the matches,
immortalizing the winners who rise to the top of their game. The
chronicle of the event will be retold again and again in different
languages, remaining the same regardless of the tongue uttering
the details.
Horses unite people as well, and there is another sporting
event that draws together multifarious nations. Not as well
known as the World Cup, nor as abundantly attended as the
prestigious Royal Ascot, but equally valued by the people who
witness it--the G1 Longines Gran Premio Latinoamericano.
On the evening of March 11, Roman Rosso (Roman Ruler)
jogged in front of the cheering crowd at Hip\dromo Nacional de
MaroZas, led by a palafrenero (outrider) after winning the 2018
Latinoamericano for Argentina. Jockey Wilson Moreyra held his
helmet in the air, waving it up and down.
As they trotted back to the winner's circle, Moreyra grasped at
the blanket of red and white flowers draped over Roman
Rosso's neck, pulling out handfuls upon handfuls. Instead of
tossing them into the air for the cameras to capture flower
petals raining down over his head, he chucked them over the
rail into the crowd. Few actually made it, with most lacking the
distance to clear the path used to walk horses to and from the
paddock. But he continued throwing them--not an act for the
cameras, but for the people.
Because the Latinoamericano is a race for the people. For the
Argentinians, Brazilians, Chileans, Peruvians and Uruguayans. It
represents the pure emotion and pride generated from the love
of your country and passion for the sport.
The idea for the Latinoamericano was formed in 1980, when
members of the Asociacion Latinoamericana de Jockey Clubes e
Hipodromos convened in Buenos Aires to discuss the creation of
an international pattern race that would rotate between South
American countries. The inaugural Gran Premio
Latinoamericano took place in 1981 at MaroZas, located in
Montevideo, Uruguay.
The 2018 edition of the "Latino," as it is called, was run at
MaroZas for the third time in the race's history. Conducted over
a distance of 1 1/4 miles, entrants competed for a purse of
$500,000 U.S.
Each country is allotted a particular number of competitors,
with representative horses nominated through designated
racing jurisdictions in Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Uruguay and Peru.
Oscar Bertoletti, CEO of OSAF (South American Organization
for the Promotion of the Thoroughbred), which puts on the
Latinoamericano each year--explained that while the
connections of the horses running in the Latino want to win the
greatest races in each of their respective countries, such as the
G1 Pellegrini in Argentina or the G1 JosJ Pedro RamRrez in
Uruguay, the pride of winning the Latino extends beyond just
winning a race.

"The Latino is a Group 1 race with national identity," Bertoletti
said. "This is like the national soccer team, they think, 'I am
representing my country.'"
Back at the track, Roman Rosso's groom ran into the winner's
circle and slammed into the hard embrace of a hug from an
overjoyed ownership connection. The liver chestnut colt was led
in to join the celebration, human bodies surrounding him on
either side--a mosh pit of credentialed media, photographers
wearing orange pinnies, ownership connections and a
1,000-something-pound horse.
One reporter held a cell phone up to Moreyra's mouth to
record his initial reaction. The owner's daughter kissed Roman
Rosso's nose. The groom of each horse had been given a small
flag of the country they represented. At one point, the
Argentine flag grasped by Roman Rosso's groom brushed up
against the colt's nose, waving slightly from the force of his
breath.
Finally, Roman Rosso was led out of the winner's circle wearing
the white Longines blanket of the Gran Premio Latinoamericano
winner. The mosh pit thinned, moving to the awards
presentation on a stage adjacent to the winner's circle.
Remnants of the shredded blanket of flowers were left behind in
the form of red rose petals strewn across the ground.
After the race, winning trainer Jorge Mayansky used one word
to describe Roman Rosso: "Ideal. Una sola palabra: ideal.
Literalmente ideal."
After the awards presentation for the Latino dispersed,
Bertoletti spoke about the importance of the race within the
South American continental community.
"It's the biggest race, because if you see the rating of the
horses, the better horses for each country come here,"
Bertoletti said. "And the other particularity is that the race is the
only black-type Group 1 that moves from country to country
each year."
The 2019 and 2020 editions of the Latino will take place at
Club HRpico in Chile and San Isidro in Argentina. Bertoletti
foresees even more improvement in the years to come, partially
fueled by the sponsorship of Longines.
"The first [sponsorship] agreement with Longines was in 2014,
and we try to improve year by year," he said. "[This year] we
signed a new agreement for another five years with Longines,
and we hope we can make the next stake the biggest stake."
Bertoletti said they would like to see the event continue to
grow with additional races of varying conditions--almost
emulating the model of the Breeders' Cup--but the enormous
cost barriers and difficulty of transporting horses across country
borders will make it a challenge to achieve. The OSAF could also
one day even the ratios of horses from each country who travel
to compete, making the races even more international.
With the Maronas grandstand filled with a crowd comparable
to a stakes day at Keeneland or Saratoga, an Argentine
colleague said it best as we watched the day of the Latino
unfold: from touring the saddling area to watching the jockeys
mount for the Latino and seeing the victorious connections
smile and wave for photographers. He explained the pure
passion that drives the horses' connections, noting that even if
the purse was taken away, people would still want to run their
horses--for the two grandest prizes in the Premio
Latinoamericano are pride and glory.

the losing mount fees for jockeys at the NYRA tracks, it was
announced Wednesday. It is the first change in the losing mount

20% for second, 12% for third, 6% for fourth, 4% for fifth and 3%

AThrough what were highly constructive negotiations with the
Guild, we were able to reach what we believe is an equitable
arrangement for the NYRA riders,@ NYTHA President Joe
Appelbaum said. AWe all know the risks that the riders face on a
daily basis, and we are fortunate to have such an elite jockey
colony in New York.
AWe are also pleased to announce that, as part of the deal,
NYTHA will underscore our commitment to the Permanently
Disabled Jockeys Fund,@ Appelbaum continued. ASince 2014, we
have contributed $1 per mount, which has totaled around
$17,000 a year. Going forward, we will guarantee a $20,000
annual donation to the PDJF.@
New York=s horsemen also donate $5 per start to the
Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance, and NYTHA contributes
$300,000 a year to the TAKE2 and TAKE THE LEAD
Thoroughbred retirement programs. Starting with the 2018
Saratoga Meet, NYRA=s riders will donate $1 per mount to the
PDJF, and $1 per mount to TAKE THE LEAD.

3yo/up, 7fT, 1:20.59, fm.
WHITE FLAG (c, 4, War Front--Shared Hope, by Gone West),
winner of last year=s age-restricted Allied Forces S. and third as
the favorite in the GII Nearctic S., was shelved off a seventh as
the chalk in the Turf Sprint Championship last November. The
prohibitive choice here off a comebacking second over six grassy
panels June 17, the homebred was a bit slow into stride, but it
didn=t cost him at all, as he settled back in about fourth position
behind a soft tempo. Always galloping well within himself, he
pushed away from the inside and into about the three path with
cover off the home corner, shifted out further still for clear
sailing and was ridden out mostly hands and heels from there to
score by an exceptionally easy 2 1/4 lengths at 2-5.
Bought back on a bid of $725,000 as a weanling at FTKNOV in
2014, White Flag is out of an unraced daughter of the
owner/breeder=s GISW Shared Interest (Pleasant Colony), the
dam of GI Breeders= Cup Juvenile Fillies upsetter Cash Run
(Seeking the Gold) and her year-younger Grade I-winning half-
brother Forestry (Storm Cat). Third dam Surgery (Dr. Fager) was
responsible for Evans=s Sewickley (Star de Naskra), who
defeated Housebuster, among others, in the 1990 GI Vosburgh
S.
Shared Hope is also the dam of the unraced 3-year-old filly
White Lake (Mizzen Mast), juvenile colt Noble Hope (Noble
Mission {GB}) and a yearling full-sister to White Flag. Lifetime

GUCCI FACTOR (g, 5, Gio Ponti--Shoo In, by Dynaformer),
runner-up to >TDN Rising Star= and GISW Diversify (Bellamy
Road) in a main-track maiden two summers back, had won his
last two tries on the grass, a state-bred first-level allowance at
the Big A last December and a latest success over this course
and distance June 27. Settled in mid-division here as two rivals
sped off in a race of their own up front, the 12-5 chalk advanced
with the rest of the peloton nearing the stretch and needed
most of the final eighth of a mile to reel in pace-pressing Dr.
Edgar (Lookin at Lucky) for a neck victory. Sales history:

RACHEL'S BLUE MOON (f, 3, Bodemeister--Beautiful But Blue
{MSW & GISP, $395,450}, by El Corredor) belied debut odds of
14-1 to take a late-season turf maiden at Aqueduct last
December, but hadn=t hit the board since, including a sixth with
blinkers added in a first-level main-track allowance June 13. The
69-10 fifth choice in a field of eight, the homebred won the
break and set strong fractions as Puffery (Flatter) gave chase.
Narrowly in front turning for home, the bay swatted away that
challenge and kept on gamely for a 2 1/4-length success.
Favored Pink Twist (Malibu Moon) was along late for second. A
maternal grandson of MSW Beautiful America (Dixie Brass),
Rachel=s Blue Moon is kin to the juvenile filly Beautiful Illusion
(Ghostzapper), a yearling Hard Spun filly and a foal of 2018 by

Christmas Eve, was switching to the grass for this sophomore
debut. Show good early speed, the blaze-faced chestnut stalked
a fast pace from second, responded when called upon by Jose
Ortiz at the top of the lane and held off a mild late challenge
from 7-5 chalk Wise Strike (Smart Strike) to score by 2 1/2
lengths as the 17-5 third choice. Majestic Won=s 2-year-old half-
sister No Vacancy (Quality Road) breezed five furlongs over the
Woodbine turf in 1:00.40 July 8, while her now-yearling half-
brother by Liam=s Map was the second-dearest of 16 of the
sire=s foals to sell in 2017 at $250,000. Miss Holiday Inn
produced a colt by Will Take Charge after selling with that foal in
utero for $42,000 at KEENOV last fall. Sales history: $47,000 Ylg
