AGA KHAN FAMILIES STARAT GOFFS MARE SALE
By Emma Berry and Daithi Harvey
The headline session of the two-day Goffs November Breeding
Stock Sale was once again a showcase for the Aga Khan
bloodlines, with an in-foal mare and a filly in training filling
Saturday’s top two slots.
Ebeyina (Ire) (Oasis Dream {GB}) (lot 1368), a winner last year
on debut at three for Dermot Weld, hails from the
black-type-laden family that has produced the Queen’s G1 Ascot
Gold Cup winner Estimate (Ire) (Monsun {Ger}) and her
half-sister, the Irish champion 3-year-old Ebadiyla (Ire) (Sadler’s
Wells), who features as the grandam of the sale-topper.
Sold for €460,000 with her first covering to hot property Kodiac
(GB), she will reside forthwith in the Kilkenny paddocks of
Ballylinch Stud. Ballylinch Manager John O’Connor commented,
“Obviously she’s a very nice mare; the fact that she is a
black-type mare is particularly appealing. She comes from a true
Classic family and I've been lucky buying from Gilltown before.”
Ballylinch Stud later went to €260,000 to secure another mare
in foal to Kodiac, lot 1402, the G3 Firth of Clyde S. winner
Majestic Dubawi (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}) from the Darley draft,
which ended the day as leading vendor with 38 fillies and mares
sold for €2,028,500.
A trip farther afield beckons eventually for the 4-year-old
Peintre Celebre stayer Silwana (Ire) (lot 1362), whose four wins
include the Listed Loughbrown S. at The Curragh. Cont. p2.
MILITARY ATTACK SWOOPS IN CUP PREP Along with Designs on Rome (Ire) (Holy Roman Emperor {Ire}),
Military Attack (Ire) (Oratorio {Ire}) and Blazing Speed (GB)
(Dylan Thomas {Ire}) represent the three most dominating local
figures over the 2000-meter distance, and that pair kept true to
form when finishing one-two, respectively, in Saturday’s G2
Longines Jockey Club Cup, the local prep for the G1 Hong Kong
Cup Dec. 13. Blazing Speed proved narrowly best over Military
Attack in the 2014 running of the Longines Jockey Club Cup, but
the 7-year-old, who has had his fair share of age-related
problems, turned back the time at least one more time and
turned the tables in Saturday’s renewal.
The 2012/2013 Horse of the Year off wins in the G1 Queen
Elizabeth II Cup and G1 SAI Cup in Singapore, Military Attack
won the 1600-meter Sha Tin Trophy H. first-up for five months
last year. Cont. p4
EXAGGERATOR HITS DELTA JACKPOT Exaggerator (Curlin), a close-up fourth in the GI Breeders’
Cup Juvenile, held on to score a narrow victory in Saturday’s
$1-million GIII Delta Downs Jackpot S.

Aga Khan Families Star At Goffs (cont. from p1)
Irish-based Japanese trainer Takashi Kodama signed the ticket
at €320,000 and outlined plans for Silwana, saying, “I've bought
her on behalf of Mr Koji Kamiyama of Kawakami Racing. She will
stay in training with me next year but will ultimately go to Japan
as a broodmare.”
Pat Downes, who manages the Aga Khan Studs’ operation at
Gilltown Stud, commented, “I'm delighted with the prices for
the two top fillies. I believe Silwana stays in training in Ireland
before being covered
and continuing her
breeding career in
Japan. Ebeyina is a
beautiful mare;
everyone who came to
see her agreed and she
had a very attractive
cover with Kodiac,
whose foals have been
so popular all week. Overall we're very happy with how they
sold. There's a great buzz in the ring, year after year we come to
Goffs and we seem to always sell well.”
The trade was certainly healthy. The 198 fillies and mares to
have found new homes represented a clearance rate of 81% and
turnover for the day improved by 29% to €8,640,500, albeit for
20 more horses sold than in 2014. The average was also up by
16% at €43,639 and the median improved fractionally to €25,000.
David Nagle stepped in at €270,000 for the unnamed and
unraced 2-year-old Galileo (Ire) half-sister to stakes winners
Yellow Rosebud (Ire) (Jeremy) and Seeharn (Ire) (Pivotal {GB})
who was offered by the Irish National Stud as lot 1333. He said,
“She's a beautiful looker and you could say she is a long-term
project. Her credentials were quite obvious being by Galileo. She
will come back to Barronstown Stud and we will take a bit of
time in deciding what stallion to cover her with.”
The Irish National Stud’s John Osborne added, “Obviously it's a
bit unusual in that she is a 2-year-old; she missed her engagement at
the sales as a yearling after a sequence of minor setbacks, but
eventually we got her here. We are delighted with the price; she
is a beautiful filly and was very well received on the sales
grounds. We still have the mare, who is middle-aged, and we
also have her half-sister Aimhirgin Lass (Ire) in training for the
President, Michael D. Higgins. She stays in training next season
with the hope of adding some further black print to the family.”

Osborne continued, “The mare is in foal to Mastercraftsman
(Ire) and I believe her Dragon Pulse (Ire) yearling half-sister is
with Richard Fahey, so there is lots going on in the family.”
Two more mares also brought €270,000, the first being lot
1324, the four-time-winning sprinter Badr Al Badoor (Ire)
(Acclamation {GB}), who was offered by Darley in foal to Dream
Ahead. The 5-year-old is a half-sister to four black-type
performers, including listed winner Profitable (Ire) (Invincible
Spirit {Ire}).
Purchaser Eamonn Reilly of BBA Ireland was unable to name
his client but offered, “When the catalogue came out online he
picked her out on pedigree and when I went to see her she had
the looks to match her page. She is a lovely individual from an
active family and she is a young mare so should have a great
future.”
Late in the session, Galileo’s 3-year-old daughter Mohini (Ire)
out of the G1 Prix Marcel Boussac winner Denebola (Storm Cat)
reached the same price when sold from Lord and Lady
Lloyd-Webber’s Kiltinan Castle Stud to Hubie de Burgh.
Gatewood Bell swung into action to buy the Ridge Manor Stud
mare Bridal Dance (Ire) (Danehill Dancer {Ire}) (lot 1390). With
an enticing covering to Dark Angel, the dam of this year’s G3
Prestige S. winner Hawksmoor (Ire) (Azamour {Ire}) fetched a
winning bid of €260,000 and she too will be heading to
Barrownstown Stud.
"I've bought her for David and Diane Nagle. Obviously Dark
Angel needs no introduction and she has already proved she can
breed a top-class horse so I think she should make a fine
addition to the Nagles’ broodmare band,” Bell commented.
Wildcard entry Quake (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}) (lot 1344A) may be
an unraced 3-year-old but she is also a half-sister to Group
1-winning sprinter King’s Apostle (GB) by one of the world’s best
stallions, and thus attracted a bid of €200,000 from Peter and
Ross Doyle on behalf of an unnamed client.
The sale day ended with the auction of nine stallion
nominations on behalf of the Ann Hanley Research Fund for
Parkinson’s Disease, including the last one available to Haras de
Bonneval’s popular young sire Siyouni (Fr) (Pivotal {GB}), which
was sold for €58,000. His advertised fee for 2016 is €30,000.

GOFFS NOVEMBER SALE -- SATURDAY1295, Ascending Angel (Ire), f, 4, Sea The Stars (Ire)--

Consigned by Wardstown Stud
Wardstown Stud had to shell out just 18,000gns for Ascending
Angel as a filly out of training at last year’s Tattersalls December
breeding stock sale. Fast forward a year and, put in foal to
Casamento (Ire) at a €5,000 stud fee, Wardstown enjoyed a
considerable return yesterday when Ascending Angel was
hammered down to MAB Agency for €120,000. Ascending
Angel’s 3-year-old half-sister California (Ire) (Azamour {Ire}),
who was unraced at the time of her sale last year, has now won
twice and was second in the Listed River Eden S. for trainer John
Gosden Oct. 29. Last year’s 2-year-old champion Belardo (Ire)
(Lope De Vega {Ire}) appears under the second dam.

Military attack then missed by a head in this and by a flared
nostril behind Designs On Rome in last year’s G1 Longines Hong
Kong Cup. Off the board in his next couple, he was runner-up to
fellow Hong Konger Dan Excel (Ire) (Shamardal) in Singapore
May 17 and was exiting a useful third to up-and-coming miler
Contentment (Aus) (Hussonet) in this year’s Sha Tin Trophy Oct.
25. Sent off the second choice in the wagering behind the
somewhat surprising favorite Helene Happy Star (Ire)
(Zamindar), Military Attack was actually first under the line with
a circuit to travel, but Zac Purton was happy to take back from
the low draw and allowed Top Act (NZ) (O’Reilly {NZ}) to take
them into the turn.
Helene Super Star (War
Front) was close, but
Khaya (NZ) (Librettist),
who made the running
in last year’s G1
Longines Hong Kong
Vase, burned around
them and was in front
heading down the back.
Purton had Military
Attack in a share of fifth,
with Blazing Speed, who eased out to a generous 9-2, to his
outside. Khaya led rounding the circle, but the big guns were
ready to pounce, and Blazing Speed took the first crack at them
about four away from the fence with 300 meters to travel. That
left Purton and Military Attack to follow that move through, but
a gap came to the inside entering the final furlong, and while
Blazing Speed–spotting his rival five pounds under the
conditions of the race–punched on gamely, Military Attack got
the upper hand late and found the line first. Beauty Only,
stretching out off a runner-up effort in the Sha Tin Trophy,
flashed home from near the tail to be third over a somewhat
unlucky Helene Happy Star. Dominant, winner of the 2013 Vase
and prepping for that race, finished well for fifth.
“He’s had a lot of problems,” said winning trainer Caspar
Fownes. “Last season it was his feet and this time it’s his joints
and a suspensory. It’s been a battle, day in and day out. The vets
have done a great job, and my team as well, they’ve worked
really hard. Everyone has put in the hours to just get that result
for the owners and for the fans in Hong Kong. He’s getting on in
age but I’m sure he’ll still be a force on the big day. I’d say he’ll
strip a little bit fitter from this run, as I’m sure the second horse
will--that was a big run from him, too. I’ll try to have him the
best I can on the day.”

Clickfor the Equineline.com catalogue-style pedigree. Able Friend came into Saturday’s G2 Jockey Club Mile as a nearcertainty, and why not? After all, he had made nine starts overthe course and distance for eight wins, including this event lastterm followed by an impossibly easy victory in the G1 Longines
Hong Kong Mile. Hislone defeat came overunsuitably soft ground inthe 2014 G1 ChampionsMile, a race he won withridiculous ease 12months later, and afterovercoming top weightand a trip well short ofhis best in the PremierBowl H. Oct. 25, surelythere was little standingin his way of a successful
defense of his title here. Think again. Beauty Flame, who saw his fair share of Able Friend’sconsiderable hind quarters last season, parlayed a soft trip into aboilover bigger than his off odds of 36-1 might suggest. Having last visited the winner’s enclosure following a Class 1success 371 days prior, Beauty Flame never could solve AbleFriend thereafter, filling second spot in the G1 Stewards’ Cup(1600m), the G1 Queen’s Silver Jubilee Cup (1400m) and theChairman’s Trophy (1600m) in April. Well down the field in hisfirst two runs this preparation, the former Roca Tumu mostrecently set the pace in the Sha Tin Trophy H. Oct. 25, butweakened late to finish fourth behind Contentment.
Though the 5-year-old typically does his thing from the front,
he was content to lay second when Able Friend’s stablemate
Secret Sham (Aus) (Shamardal) showed the most initiative, and
that ultimately proved a winning strategy. Contentment raced in
a handy third, while Able Friend, away a half-step slowly, was
buried down inside with no way out nearer the back of the pack.
There was little change in the plot through the middle stages,
although given the body language of most of the gallopers, the
pace backed down noticeably on the turn. Secret Sham held the
call at the head of the lane, but Beauty Flame was pulled out by
Gerald Mosse and took command with a furlong and a half to
race. Contentment had a clear shot and Able Friend tried to
make ground up the inside, but he was left with simply too
much to do off the race shape, and Beauty Flame proved not for
catching. Contentment boxed back to claim second, while
Designs On Rome (Ire) (Holy Roman Emperor {Ire}), making his
first start since fetlock surgery, closed his final quarter-mile in a
race-fastest :21.80 for sixth. He’ll attempt to defend in the Hong
Kong Cup over the 2000 meters Dec. 13.
“I was expecting that, if I was not going to make the running,
the John Moore horse [Secret Sham] would, so I didn’t rush my
horse and I got a perfect race,” said Mosse. “I just sat behind
him and waited for the straight, like [trainer] Tony [Cruz] told
me to do, and when I pressed the button he answered
perfectly.”
John Moore was chalking up Able Friend’s defeat to racing
luck--or better put, lack thereof.
“People might put it down to a flat run but I’d put it down to
circumstances--the pattern of the race and so forth. He’ll be
absolutely right for the Mile in December,” said the conditioner.

The one-time champion miler in this part of the world, Gold-
Fun is another of the jurisdiction’s top-shelf runners who has
seen his career path altered by the presence of Able Friend.
Though he has always run with credit over further, Gold-Fun
was equally proficient at
shorter trips, or at least
that’s what trainer
Richard Gibson would
have you believe. The
flashy chestnut,
partnered Saturday by
flamboyant Belgian
Christophe Soumillon,
continued to make
Gibson look good with a something-left-in-the-tank victory in
the Jockey Club Sprint.
Runner-up to the reigning Horse of the Year in last year’s Hong
Kong Mile and sixth in the Stewards’ Cup, Gold-Fun cut back to
six panels and, with Soumillon in for the ride, charged past last
year’s Hong Kong Sprint hero Aerovelocity (NZ) (Pins {Aus}) in
the Chairman’s Sprint Prize in February. Third to Able Friend in
the G1 Queen’s Silver Jubilee Cup over 1400 meters in March,
he completed a Gibson 1-2 behind Dundonnell (First Defence) in
the Sprint Cup in April, and but for a freakish performance from
Able Friend in the Premier Bowl, would have gotten the season
off on a winning note Oct. 25.
Peniaphobia, this race’s defending champ and second in the
big race, was sent from his widest draw to make the front by
Joao Moreira, but they had to work hard to do it, with the likes
of Super Jockey (NZ) (Sandtrap), Not Listenin’tome and
Dundonnell also showing keen early interest. Those events left
Soumillon and Gold-Fun with some open space from sixth
position, and the duo were happy to allow what appeared to be
a cracking pace take its toll on those that chose to race
prominently. Despite the taxing splits, Peniaphobia wasn’t
backing down and looked a winning chance at the quarter pole,
but Not Listenin’tome was looming to his outside, while Gold-
Fun was tracking that one into the final stages, looking loaded
for bear.
The pacesetter was holding on grimly, but Gold-Fun came with
his relentless rally and proved too good in the finish, as
Peniaphobia, Not Listenin’tome and senior citizen Lucky Nine
(Ire) (Dubawi {Ire}) picked up the minor shares.
“He won by a good margin and Richard said he was unfit
today, so I reckon he will be better next time,” said Soumillon.
“You can see he was stooping a bit, looking around and hanging
right, so I had to try to get him to concentrate at the end. I did
not want to let them run away so I had to come out and he gave
me a very good turn-of-foot. I hit the front too early.”

Buffering reached another milestone in his career Saturday
when collecting his sixth Group 1 win in Ascot’s G1
Winterbottom S., in which he was victorious two years ago, and
the 8-year-old gelding could yet get a chance to prove himself
on the world stage after receiving an invite to Dubai for next
March.
Rested most of this year
after a trip to Hong Kong
last December--when he
finished sixth, beaten less
than four lengths--in the
G1 Hong Kong Sprint,
Buffering showed no ill
effects of old age when
winning the G1 Moir S. for
the second year running first-up at Moonee Valley Oct. 2. He
had to settle for fifth behind Chautauqua (Aus) (Encosta de Lago
{Aus}) in the G1 Manikato S. over that strip three weeks later,
and was beaten a half-length when fourth in the G1 Darley
Classic. Nov. 7. Trainer Robert Heathcote said after Saturday’s
score--which established a new race record time--that Buffering
would aim for the A$10 million card for Magic Millions
graduates on the Gold Coast Jan. 9 before a possible trip to
Dubai.
"It is something I hadn't even told some of the owners,"
Heathcote said of Buffering’s Dubai invite. "The world is Buff's
oyster. He's eight years old--he's won two Group 1s this prep. If
he comes through that [the Gold Coast] in good order I'd love to
go over and shake hands with the Sheikh."

Good Project handed trainer Chris Waller a 10th Group 1 of
the spring season and owner C C Lai a second this month--after
Delectation (Aus) (Shamardal)’s score in the G1 Darley Classic at
the Melbourne Cup Carnival--when taking out Ascot’s G1
Railway S. Saturday. The
winner of a 1200 meter
benchmark 85 race at
Rosehill to kick off his
spring campaign Sept. 12,
Good Project was placed
twice at that level in
Sydney before winning
over this trip in a
benchmark 92 race at
Randwick Oct. 17. He was
second when dropping back 200 meters at Flemington Nov. 3,
and was making his Group 1 debut here. Jumping strongly and
heading straight to the lead, Good Project managed to make all
to post a clear-cut win.
“He is a lovely colt and he is a lovely horse to deal with,” said
Justine Hales, foreperson to Waller. “Everything he does he just
takes in his stride and that is what has helped him.”
“He is now a Group 1 winner and it gives me a great thrill to
come over to Perth and win one of their biggest races,” said
jockey Craig Williams.

seize immediate control in this one. Increasing his advantage
rounding the home turn, the 5-1 chance kept on gamely under a
drive in the short straight to hold the late flourish of Special
Season (GB) (Lope de Vega {Ire}) by a half length. “He’s a bit of a
cheeky playboy, but has really knuckled down for his last three
races and is learning his trade nicely,” commented rider James
Doyle. Cont. p8

“He was all over the place on his first three runs, but has kept
on improving since his first win here [Ocr. 29],” Doyle continued.
“We went a hell of a pace all of the way and wanted to draw the
sting out of the rest of the field because he won over a mile last
time and all he does is gallop. He seems to be much more
straightforward in front, doing his own his own thing, and he
doesn’t over-race. He was in front with his ears pricked and
wasn’t losing any energy.” Race Day’s dam, Nadia, won the G1

NATIVE SONS HIT THE JACKPOT
Exaggerator (Curlin), ridden and trained respectively by
Louisiana-born brothers Kent and Keith Desormeaux, gave the
pair quite the welcome home present Saturday as he came
through at 4-5 odds in the $1-million GIII Delta Downs Jackpot.
GI Champagne S. runner-up Sunny Ridge (Holy Bull) was a game
second, beaten just a neck, while longshot Harlan Punch
(Harlan’s Holiday) made a menacing move before settling for
third. A second-up winner sprinting at Del Mar in July, the dark
bay found a seam and powered through to take the GII Saratoga
Special S. in August. Freshened after that, he returned to be
second behind Brody’s Cause (Giant’s Causeway) in Keeneland’s
GI Claiborne Breeders’ Futurity S. Oct. 3, and was last seen
finishing fourth 28 days later after chasing the pace in the
GI Breeders’ Cup Juvenile.
"It's really making the Breeders' Cup [result] a little more
aggravating,” said Hall of Famer Kent Desormeaux, who won the
inaugural running of this race with Outta Here (Dehere) in 2002.
“I'm grateful, and certainly happy to do it for all the Louisiana
people... but he just wanted to do so much more in the
Breeders' Cup and this just ascertains my judgment of his race.
Today he just floated along and he had plenty left--something I
wasn't allowed to do in the Breeders' Cup. Today, he was just
allowed to be himself, and he can really run." Cont. p3
‘MAGIC’ PULLS OFF DELTA PRINCESS UPSET The bettors had virtually handed Saturday’s GIII Delta Downs
Princess S. to local My Trusty Cat S. romper La Appassionata
(Bernardini), but Jet Black Magic (Hold Me Back)--third in that
same heat--had other ideas. Let go at 9-1, the Carl Moore
Management colorbearer catapulted past the heavy chalk in the
lane en route to a 4 1/4-length score. Above Fashion (Paddy
O’Prado), second in the My Trusty Cat, rounded out the trifecta.
"I'm a little surprised,” admitted winning conditioner Bret
Calhoun. “[La Appassionata] showed she was an awful nice filly
in the prep--we did have a little bit of a rough trip, but we
weren't beating her that day. We thought we were running for
second or third [here] at best, but we've really liked this filly for
a long time... Today was her day." Cont. p4

Taking a slight stutter-step out of the gate, Exaggerator was
well out into the center of the course passing the wire for the
first time. He challenged for the lead hitting the first bend, and
established command through splits of :47.53 and 1:13.47.
Sunny Ridge put a head in front of the favorite leaving the home
turn, but Exaggerator responded willingly, and always seemed to
have that foe’s measure, with Desormeaux putting his stick
away a stride or two before the line.
“As Kent alluded to, the fact that he was over-aggressive in the
Breeders’ Cup was not his fault, it was mine,” said Keith
Desormeaux. “I had him a little too on edge. That’s a trainer
error. I’ll take the brunt for that one, but we didn’t do a bad job
today.” Cont. p4

The Desormeaux brothers looked to have a serious
GI Kentucky Derby prospect around this time last year in the
form of GI Breeders’ Cup
Juvenile romper Texas Red
(Afleet Alex). While that
runner missed first Saturday
in May, Keith Desormeaux is
excited about Exaggerator’s
Classic prospects. The dark
bay sits second on the 2016
Kentucky Derby leaderboard
with 16 points.
“He’s bred for it, he
obviously has the
precociousness and
athleticism,” Desormeaux
said. “The Derby’s still a long
way off, but we have time to recover and it’ll be a fun trip to
take the Louisiana connections to Louisville.”
Exaggerator hails from the female family of Canadian
champions Embur’s Song (Unbridled’s Song) and Eternal Search.

Taking a left turn out of the gate, Jet Black Magic traveled at
the back of the pack into the first turn as the chalk sat closer
while kept well in the clear. La Appassionata made her move to
the fore after a half in
:49.60, and Jet Black
Magic began to pick up
the pace. Above
Fashion pestered La
Appassionata into the
lane, but Jet Black
Magic proved the
bigger threat, and she
ranged up down the
center of the track to
scamper to the lead
and clear without being met with any real resistance.
Calhoun and Moore were celebrating a stakes double
Saturday, having already won the Orleans S. earlier on the card
with Mayla (Sharp Humor), who is co-owned by Brad Grady.
“It’s a great day,” said Moore. “That’s two wins on the day,
and two stakes--and to have a Louisiana-bred come up and win
this kind of race, it’s unbelievable... Early on I was kind of
concerned where we were, but he gave her a great ride and she
came running down the stretch.”
Jet Black Magic, the first graded stakes winner for her second-
crop sire (by Giant’s Causeway), was a debut winner sprinting at
Indiana Downs Sept. 2 before finishing second in a grassy
Churchill optional claimer 25 days later. She is out of a half-sister
to Louisiana-bred millionaire Superior Storm (Stormy Atlantic).
Her dam has a yearling colt by Half Ours and was bred back to
Liaison.

You could barely see him through the torrential rain coming
down during this event, but accomplished veteran Lochte
proved a clear-cut best while earning his third-straight victory. A
39-1 upset winner of the GI Gulfstream Park Turf H. last
February, the dark bay annexed the GII Tampa Bay S. this
January. More recently, he took Gulfstream’s Mr. Steele S. Sept.
27, and was last seen grabbing the local Spider John S. Oct. 25.
Close to the pace while
three deep into the first turn,
Lochte challenged for the
lead into the home bend and
splashed away from his
competition to win for fun.
“I wasn’t too afraid of the
wet turf,” said Lochte’s
trainer Marcus Vitali. “He’ll
like a wet turf, this horse. This
was a little more than wet. I didn’t get wet. I stayed inside and
watched it. I saw him splashing through there and it looked like
[rider] Matt [Rispoli] made the right decisions. I kind of left it up
to him. I told him if it was a rough trip and he didn’t handle it,
just take care of him and we’ll live for another day. He told me
he was running well and he felt good and when he asked on
him, he exploded.” Cont. p7

Tropical Turf cont.
Of what could be next, Vitali said, “We’re going to give him a
little time and see how he comes out of the race. You know me,
if they’re doing good and eating good and training good, we run
them. We’re not here for the season, we’re here for a reason.”
Rispoli added, “I couldn’t have asked for a better trip. I kind of
just stayed in the best part of the track which was the three
path, it seemed like. I just sat against him the whole way and
coming to the three-eighths pole, I felt like I was driving a Ferrari
to tell you the truth. Marcus did a great job getting the horse
ready for the race. He’s a racehorse.”
Lochte’s 2-year-old half-brother Knights Key (Giant’s
Causeway) was an impressive last-to-first winner at Churchill
Downs Friday (click here for more).

Lady Lara, a stakes winner and Group 3-placed for Timothy
Jarvis last year in England, bested Distorted Beauty (Invasor
{Arg}) and Sandiva in her Stateside debut for Bill Mott in
Belmont’s Pebbles S. last October. Second in Churchill’s GII Mrs.
Revere S. the following month, she resurfaced successfully in
Gulfstream’s GII Honey Fox S. Mar. 29, but was looking to snap a
five-race winless streak Saturday. Second in Belmont’s GIII Noble
Damsel S. Sept. 19, she filled out the trifecta from out of the
clouds in that venue’s GIII Athenia S. Oct. 17.
Hugging the hedge from the pocket while a bit keen into the
first turn, the bay
was taken into the
two path to attack
pacesetting Pink
Poppy (Tiznow) with
main rival Sandiva to
her outside. Pink
Poppy offered up
some resistance to
the eight pole, but
Lady Lara strode
away authoritatively to return to winning ways.
“The timing from her last race worked out well,” noted
winning trainer Bill Mott. “We shipped her down here and we
weren’t sure if we were going to run her. She took the ship well
and seemed like she looked good and was training good, so we
decided to go ahead and run.” The Hall of Famer added, “After
we got around the first turn, it was great. She got around the
first turn in good order, and she got a good post. She’s been
unlucky if you look back, where she’s drawn the 13 and 14 hole
several times. [Saturday] she was able to get an inside post so
she could at least try to save a little ground around the first
turn.”

Button Down, who made her first seven starts in England for
Lady Cecil and breeder Juddmonte, was purchased by Bill and
Carole McAlpin’s Greenwood Lodge Farm for 65,000gns at last
year’s Tattersalls December sale. She was a maiden winner
second time out for the new connections in a May 31 off-the-
turf special weight at Woodbine and added a turf allowance July
1. Second in the Aug. 15 Flaming Page S. and Sept. 13 GII
Canadian S., she was coming off a close-up fifth-place effort in
the Oct. 18 GI E. P. Taylor S.
Hustled to keep pace with the early leaders, Button Down
found herself in traffic and shuffled back going under the wire
the first time. The bay filly settled in fifth while within striking
distance and racing three wide. She moved up to challenge for
the lead on the turn, grabbed control in upper stretch and
kicked clear in the final furlong before holding sway late.
Button Down gave trainer Josie Carroll her second stakes win
of the afternoon, following shortly after Ami’s Mesa (Sky
Mesa)’s win in the Glorious Song S. at Woodbine. Button Down
is out of Juddmonte homebred and stakes-winning Modesta
(Ire) (Sadler’s Wells), a half-sister to Group 1 winners Elmaamul
(Diesis {GB}) and Reams of Verse (Nureyev), as well as to the
dam of GI Breeders’ Cup F/M Turf winner Midday (GB) (Oasis
Dream {GB}). Modesta produced a filly by Makfi (GB) in 2014
and a colt by Rail Link (GB) in 2015. She is also responsible for
multiple stakes placed juvenile Platitude (GB) (Dansili {GB}) and
multiple group placed Model Pupil (GB) (Sinndar {Ire}).

He had to survive an objection, but Great Britain’s 2015
champion jockey Silvestre de Sousa earned his first North
American graded stakes win Saturday aboard East Coast shipper
Rusty Slipper. The Graham Motion pupil, whose last victory
came in Monmouth’s GIII Violet S. last August, was a close-up
third in Santa Anita’s GI Rodeo Drive S. that September before
finishing 10th--beaten less than six lengths--in the GI Breeders’
Cup F/M Turf. The dark bay resurfaced again in California to be
sixth in the GIII Robert J. Frankel S. two days after Christmas,
and was a close third in the Megahertz S. Jan. 17. Cont. p9

Seventh in the GII Santa Ana S. Mar. 15, she finished in the
same slot in Monmouth’s GIII Eatontown S. in June and over
yielding sod at Indiana Downs July 18. Rusty Slipper returned to
winning ways two back in the restricted Glen Hill Farm One
Dreamer S. at Kentucky Downs Sept. 19, and was fourth last
time in Belmont’s Oct. 17 GIII Athenia S.
Traveling sweetly in fifth behind the
free-wheeling Three Hearts, Rusty
Slipper made her move spinning for
home as the pacesetter grew leg
weary. She struck the front in
midstretch, and had too much in the
tank for fast-finishing Electrum in the
run to the line. Victor Espinoza aboard
the runner-up lodged a claim of foul
against de Sousa after Electrum found
herself in tight while Rusty Slipper to
her outside into the first turn, but the
stewards made no change.
"I had a great trip around there,”
said Brazilian-born de Souza, who moved his tack to New York in
the fall (click here for more). “I'd spoken to the trainer and he
was very confident. He said he thought he had the best horse in
the race. He told me to come away from there and get a good
spot. I was concerned about the [11] post, but she came away
well and we got a good spot. Then she went on from there."
Assistant trainer Alice Clapham added, She broke well out of
the gate, settled well and was given an excellent ride. Recently
we had been thinking about bringing her out here for [next
Sunday’s GI] Matriarch, but we liked the distance of this race
and she likes firm ground. You're more likely to get firm turf out
here than you are back east at this time of year."

Sudden Surprise went box-to-wire to capture his career bow in
a sloppy state-bred test at Saratoga July 30 and took that
venue’s Empire-bred Funny Cide S. a month later. He beat out
Get Jets (Scat Daddy) by a neck in Belmont’s state-bred Bertram
F. Bongard S. Sept. 27, but was forced to settle for fourth behind
that rival last time in the one-mile Sleepy Hollow S. Oct. 24.
Hustled away from the outside stall by John Velazquez, the chalk
pressed from second through
an opening quarter in :22.1.
Poking his nose in front, he
clocked a half in :45.18 and
easily drew clear to return to
his winning ways.
"Sometimes the ones you're
supposed to win are the
hardest ones to win,” winning
conditioner Todd Pletcher said. “You never take anything for
granted. The horse had trained very well, we were backing up to
a distance he's had success at and we drew a good post, but I
think this year's crop of New York-breds is the strongest I've
seen in a while. You know these races are going to be
competitive, but I was pleased with his effort." Sudden Surprise
is the first foal out of Ready and Good, who also raced in the
Repole silks just like the winner’s freshman sire Giant Surprise.
In addition, she has produced two fillies by fellow Repole
runners, a yearling by Overdriven and a weanling by Stay
Thirsty, and was bred back to his champion and top freshman
sire Uncle Mo. Click for the Equibase.com chart or VIDEO,

Firecracker S. Off the board in three starts over the summer, he
returned to the winner’s circle with a narrow allowance tally at
Keeneland Oct. 15. Sky Flight settled just off the pace while
hugging the rail. Angled out for running room at the top of the
stretch, he reeled in the pacesetters down the lane to just get
his head in front on the line. “Perfect trip with the one-hole,”
said Randi Melton, assistant to winning trainer Mark Casse. “We
were able to sit off the speed to see what it was like and try to
have a little something to aim at, which is what Joel [Rosario]
did. He's such a tremendous rider. [Aztec Brave] gave us our
work to do, but it was good to get up. It's wonderful to win for
Mr. Oxley here." Rosario added, “I was very confident. He's the
kind of horse if he sees a horse in front he comes and gets it.
Every time he saw [Aztec Brave], he just kept on coming, kept
on coming. He didn't want to get beat." Click for the

Laurel Town Hall Meeting Attracts a Crowd:
A Town Hall-style meeting Friday evening at Laurel Park
attracted a crowd of 400 industry leaders, horsemen,
government officials and fans, according to a release from the
track. The meeting was assembled to discuss The Stronach
Group’s vision of the future of Maryland racing and speakers
included Tim Ritvo, COO of The Stronach Group, Maryland
Racing commissioner Bruce Quade, Tim Keefe, president of the
Maryland Thoroughbred Horsemen’s Association, Cricket
Goodall, executive director of the Maryland Horse Breeders
Association, and breeder Josh Pons.
“Over the past 10 months we’ve invested nearly $20 million
into our facilities on the front and back sides,” Ritvo said.
“Handle is up nearly $60 million this year, the OTB at the
Horseshoe Casino has been a tremendous success, and the
support from horsemen has been wonderful. Mr. [Frank]
Stronach believes there is great potential in Maryland racing,
but we must continue to improve our business. We must have a
high level of integrity, have a safe environment for our
customers, take care of our retired horses, widen our network
of fans, and continue to grow the business.”
Quade spoke of a bright future for the state’s racing industry.
“This place is going to be world class,” he said. “Believe me,
The Stronach Group is walking the walk. Maryland racing’s best
days are yet to come.”

Horse of the Year Rachel Alexandra (Medaglia d’Oro)’s breeder
Dolphus Morrison gave Heaven Trees Farm’s Dede McGehee
that champion’s dam Lotta Kim (Roar) when he dispersed his
horses in 2012. (Click here for full story). McGehee named the
first foal she bred from the mare DOLPHUS (Lookin at Lucky) in
his honor and the colt debuts here for trainer Joe Sharp. The
chestnut’s pedigree has gotten some major updates this year
thanks to the offspring of his half-sister Rachel Alexandra,
herself a two-time Eclipse winner and five-time Grade I winner.
Her 3-year-old Jess’s Dream (Curlin) and 2-year-old Rachel’s
Valentina (Bernardini) were both tabbed “TDN Rising Stars”
after impressive debuts at Saratoga. Rachel’s Valentina captured
the GI Spinaway S. next out and was second in the GI Breeders’
Cup Juvenile Fillies Oct. 31. Brereton and Ned Jones’s Mason
County (Haynesfield) also boasts a pretty big pedigree. Making
his career bow for Larry Jones here, the dark bay is out of a half-
sister to two-time champion and recent GI Pacific Classic heroine

JEREMY'S LEGACY (IRE) (f, 2, Jeremy--Altogether {Ire}, by King's
Best) began her career campaigning in Ireland for Mrs Anne
Gleeson and Miss C Howes under the care of trainer Paul Flynn.
Sixth and fourth in a pair of maiden events over the summer
there, she was privately purchased following the latter effort in
a seven-panel dash over the all-weather track at Dundalk Aug.
16. Let go at odds of 6-1 in this first Stateside appearance, the
bay was away from the gate a step slowly and consequently
found herself three wide around the opening bend while in
search of position. She settled nicely to find a spot tracking the
pace through a half-mile in :47.81, was angled three wide
turning for home and turned on the afterburners, kicking clear
to an eye-catching 5 1/2-length score over Kihei Sunset (Lemon
Drop Kid). The winner’s dam is a half to SW and GISP Tamweel

Pulled the Goalie, Come to Mischief.
Ami’s Mesa, tabbed as a ‘TDN Rising Star’ after posting a
sensational eight-length debut win at Woodbine Oct. 12, ran to
her even-money odds to remain perfect in Saturday’s Glorious
Song S. Placed in midpack after a bit of a slow break, she
awaited racing room as
She’ll Do It (Badge of
Silver) led through a
quarter-mile in :23.48.
Swung out widest of all in
the stretch, Ami’s Mesa
turned in an eye-catching
rally down the center of
the track to win going
away. Conquest Babayaga
also closed well, but was simply outfinished by the winner. "I
certainly had some anxious moments,” commented winning
owner/breeder Ivan Dalos. “She didn't break well at all. I wasn't
sure she was going to get there, but she has an [awfully good]
finishing kick. She did it." The winner is a half-sister to Ami’s
Holiday, who won this venue’s GIII Grey S. as a 2-year-old and
the Breeders’ S. one year later. She is also a half to Victory
Exchange (Exchange Rate), a lightly raced sprinter who recently
returned from an extended layoff to annex an optional claimer
here Nov. 15. Victorious Ami is also responsible for an unnamed
yearling colt by Exchange Rate. Click for the Equibase.com chart
