NYQUIST, MOHAYMEN SET FOR SHOWDOWNBy Tom LaMarra

Nyquist is six-for-six with three grade I wins and

a 2-year-old championship. Mohaymen is five-

for-five and hasn't won a grade I event but has a

victory at 1 1/8 miles under his belt. And both colts

are said to be at the top of their games as they

head toward the April 2 Florida Derby (gr. I), their

first showdown.

"It's not a bad thing to have your toughest chal-

lenge to date be five weeks before the (Kentucky)

Derby (gr. I)," said Kiaran McLaughlin, who trains

Mohaymen for Shadwell Stable. "We haven't gotten

to the bottom of him yet."

"We're very optimistic of how the race will un-

fold," said Doug O'Neill, who trains Nyquist for Red-

dam Racing. "It's why you get up early every morn-

ing and go to the barn—for opportunities like this."

A medium-sized field is expected for the 1 1/8-

mile Florida Derby at Gulfstream Park. McLaughlin

said Nyquist seems to have more early speed than

Mohaymen, who "will probably come from off of

it. It will be the toughest task he has had, but he's

push-button." BH

SALES UPDATE

BARRETTS READY FOR 'NICE, TIGHT' SALEBy Ron Mitchell

With a new location at Del Mar and a new

spot on the sales calendar—March rather

than February—the March 30 Barretts select sale

of 2-year-olds in training is in new territory.

So far, the pre-sale experience has met with

mixed results. On the one hand, Barretts general

manager Kim Lloyd said the Monday under tack

show "was the smoothest and easiest under tack

show we've ever had. It had a had good rhythm

and flow to it. They (horses) looked good doing

it, and they all came back good. We'd like to have

that happen every time."

Some of the sale's luster has been diminished

by the pre-sale withdrawal of 54 of the 131 hors-

es in the main and supplemental catalogs, which

Lloyd said could be attributed to the location and

date changes this year. The Barretts sale is the

third juvenile auction this month, following the

March 2 Fasig-Tipton Florida select sale and the

Ocala Breeders' Sales Co.'s March 15-16 sale.

"Being the first year (at Del Mar), people have

a wait-and-see attitude, and

since it is the third sale of the

month, I think people are just

waiting to see what happens,"

he said. "After they have

been here this year and see

the way everything is going,

I think the sale will explode

next year."

Lloyd said that with many

of the remaining sale horses

coming from outside Califor-

nia, buyers can have confi-

dence that they are quality

offerings.

"What we do know is that

the consignors who brought

horses in for this sale made a

serious commitment," Lloyd

said. "They are not spending money to bring

them across the country without bringing a good

horse. These horses that are here count."

Lloyd said one unintended positive of having

the sale at Del Mar, the seaside track near San

Diego, is that it has spurred more interest by

Japanese buyers.

"When I went to Japan last year and men-

tioned we were moving the sale to Del Mar, there

was big buzz," Lloyd recalled. "As it turns out,

San Diego is one of the favorite destinations in

America for Japanese. It is a natural fit for them.

Also, they have a daily direct flight from Tokyo

that takes 9-10 hours. It is something we didn't

know or expect."

All in all, Lloyd expects a positive sale that will

give everyone confidence in the location and

date in future years.

"We're seeing a lot of things here that we feel

good about. The buyers are here in mass. We are

going to put on a nice, tight sale and give every-

one a good experience going forward." BH

DALE ROMANS DEFENDS AMERICAN RACINGBy Eric Mitchell

The South China Post caused a bit of a stir in

the U.S. racing community when a March 27

article quoted Kentucky-based trainer Dale Ro-

mans as being willing to relocate to Hong Kong

because he's unhappy with the state of Ameri-

can racing.

Romans vehemently refuted the article March

29, saying: "I never criticized American racing

and have not changed my stance that there is a

place for medication."

"Anyone who knows me knows those weren't

my words," the trainer said. "I did say I was tired

of some of the business—I meant dealing with

immigration rules and labor boards."

Romans said he was asked by the South China

Post reporter if he would ever like to train in

Hong Kong, a question Romans equated to being

asked if he'd like to win the Powerball lottery.

"I mean, the Hong Kong Jockey Club takes

care of everything, feed, labor—everything. Why

wouldn't I want to do that? I would love the chal-

lenge," Romans said. "But it isn't going to hap-

pen, like the Powerball. I'm here to stay." BH

SONGBIRD IMPRESSES IN MORNING WORKBy Ron Mitchell

Fox Hill Farm's undefeated filly Songbird continued

to dazzle March 29 with a bullet six-furlong work

under Hall of Fame jockey Mike Smith in 1:12 4/5 at

Santa Anita Park.

"Mike called me and said he was super-im-

pressed," Fox Hill owner Rick Porter said. "He was

more excited than usual."

Porter said the filly's train-

er—another Hall of Famer,

Jerry Hollendorfer—"said she

couldn't be better" as Song-

bird continues her prepa-

rations for the April 9 Santa

Anita Oaks (gr. I).

Porter said Songbird will

likely have a three-eighths

"blowout" a week before the

Oaks, the filly's final start

before the Kentucky Oaks

(gr. I).

A daughter of Medaglia

d'Oro, Songbird has more

than repaid her $400,000

Fasig-Tipton Saratoga select

yearling price.

The champion 2-year-old filly of 2015 has barely

been tested en route to winning all six career starts—

five in graded stakes—and has earned $1,742,000.

"Right now I think she has the potential to be the

best horse I've ever had," Porter said—a big state-

ment given that the horses he's campaigned include

Horse of the Year Havre de Grace, Eight Belles, and

Hard Spun. BH

'JEFF MADE IT EASIER FOR THE REST OF US'By Eric Mitchell Family and friends will say goodbye to Jeff Lukas

during a funeral service March 30 at 2 p.m. CDT

at the First Baptist Church in Atoka, Okla.

The only son of Hall of Fame trainer D. Wayne

Lukas and Janet Lukas died suddenly March 23 at

the age of 58 of a heart-related condition.

Longtime friend and employer David Burrage

said he will always remember Lukas for his positive

attitude, even after a collision with a loose horse in

1993 left him with severe head injuries that abrupt-

ly ended a brilliant and rising career as a trainer.

"You are talking about a guy who was brave,"

Burrage said. "He had a beautiful wife, two great

kids, was on top of the world making a lot of

money doing what he loved and had all that taken

away.

"And yet, his attitude was: 'This what I have, I'll

deal with it, and I'm thankful to be alive.' Those

are his words."

"His attitude made it easier for the rest of us,"

Burrage said. BH

MAIDEN LAOBAN WILL TRY TOYOTA BLUE GRASSBy Lenny Shulman

If you look up the word "unorthodox" in the diction-

ary, there's a good chance an illustration of trainer

Eric Guillot would accompany the entry.

So it should come as no shock that Guillot plans to

enter the multiple graded stakes-placed maiden Lao-

ban in the Toyota Blue Grass (gr. I) at Keeneland April 9.

Although running maidens in grade I events isn't

standard, Laoban, whose name is Chinese for "boss,"

is not without credentials. The son of Uncle Mo—

Chattertown, by Speightstown, ran a strong pace-set-

ting second in the March 5 Gotham (gr. III) at Aque-

duct, being passed late only by the highly regarded

Chad Brown-trained Shagaf. That effort came off a

two-month layoff from his third in the Jan. 9 Sham

(gr. III) at Santa Anita Park.

Right off jump street, Guillot has been high on the

colt he bought for $260,000 at the 2014 Keeneland

September sale. Owned by Southern Equine Stable's

Mike Moreno and McCormick Racing, Laoban made

his initial start going a mile last November at Del Mar

but had a tough run. He drew the rail, got left in the

gate, and flattened out after making a middle move.

"He's a huge horse, almost 17 hands, and he's

not good from the gate," noted Guillot, who added

blinkers for Laoban's second race at Los Alamitos in

December. "I told (jockey Tyler) Baze to use him to

get the lead, but he got hooked by a longshot and

they went :23 1/5, :46 1/5, and 1:10 4/5. And he still

opened up by five before he got tired late and fin-

ished second.

"He was on the muscle for the Sham and looking

good but he got slammed by another horse leaving

the gate and the saddle flew up on his withers. So he

got rank that day and still finished third."

After scratching Laoban from the Robert B. Lewis

(gr. II) because he spiked a fever the day of the race,

Guillot decided to ship to the Gotham.

"First time in 30 years I trained in snow," Guillot

said. "I bought $150 worth of Italian food for the rac-

ing office, and then they give me the rail. I asked for

my food back."

Laoban ran well for second, carving out all the

fractions.

The Blue Grass itself would mean huge things for

the connections.

"He's an Uncle Mo out of a well-bred mare,"

Guillot said. "If he wins a grade I, he's going to be a

valuable stallion prospect." BH

GOOD RECORD OF TRIPLE CROWN WINNERS' SIBLINGSBy Alastair Bull

With American Pharoah's 2-year-old sister Amer-

ican Cleopatra getting close to racing for Zayat

Stables, Blood-Horse magazine writer Avalyn Hunter

examined the 39 full siblings of previous Triple

Crown winners.

While none have matched their illustrious

siblings' performances—something that would

be most difficult to achieve—their record has

not been bad.

Of the 39, 19 (48.7%) were winners. Six

(15.4%) became stakes winners—a very good

record. One was a champion—Gallant Fox's

brother Foxbrough, England's champion 2-year-

old male in 1938 after winning the Middle Park

Stakes, now a group I race.

Three of the other five stakes winners were

successful in races later considered group or

grade I. One of them was another brother to

Gallant Fox, 1938 Wood Memorial Stakes winner

Fighting Fox; another was Secretariat's sister

Syrian Sea, third on the 1967 2-year-old Experi-

mental Free Handicap.

Arguably the best, however, was Omaha's broth-

er Flares, winner of the 1937 Newmarket Champion

Stakes and 1938 Ascot Gold Cup.

In addition, 11 of the 25 fillies became stakes pro-

ducers, and two more were ancestresses of multiple

graded stakes winners. For more detail, read this

week's Blood-Horse. BH

TAKE THE STAND THRIVES IN MUNIZBy Frank Angst

In the Feb. 13 Tampa Bay Stakes

(gr. IIIT), Take the Stand improved

his career-best Equibase Speed Figure

12 points to 118, but was denied his

first North American graded win when

passed in deep stretch by Reload.

Six weeks later, front-running Take

the Stand would not be denied victo-

ry as he matched that 118 in winning

the Muniz Memorial (gr. IIT) by 1 1/4

lengths. A group III winner in Argenti-

na, where he was bred, Take the Stand

completed the about 1 1/8-mile Mu-

niz in a Fair Grounds Race Course &

Slots course-record time of 1:47.80

on firm turf.

Earle Mack, Wachtel Stable, and

Brous Stable's Take the Stand, a

5-year-old son of Not For Sale, is

trained by Bill Mott. He was guided to

victory in the Muniz by Edgar Prado,

who also was aboard at Tampa.

"When they tried to come close to

me, my horse just leveled off again,"

Prado said.

The top four Muniz finishers reg-

istered the week's top four ESFs with

runner-up World Approval at 116, third-

place Closing Bell at 113, and fourth-

place Chocolate Ride also 113. BH

PURSE FUNDS AT ISSUE IN MASSACHUSETTSBy Lynne Snierson

Massachusetts Thoroughbred and Standardbred

horsemen are sparring over revenue for purses

that come from the casino industry, but a state gam-

ing commission subcommittee indicated March 29

the issue won't be resolved any time soon.

In 2014 the subcommittee determined that mon-

ey in the Race Horse Development Fund, established

as part of a 2011 gaming law, would be split 75% for

Thoroughbreds and 25% for Standardbreds. Much of

the fund comes from the 9% cut of slot machine rev-

enue at Plainridge Park Casino, which offers harness

racing.

The harness industry wants a bigger cut, given

that Plainridge must race at least 100 days a year.

There were only three days of Thoroughbred racing

last year—at Suffolk Downs—but the gaming com-

mission has awarded Suffolk Downs six days and the

Brockton Fairgrounds—south of Boston—30 days of

live racing this year,.

Subcommittee member Frank Frisoli Jr. said he

believes the percentages should remain intact be-

cause Thoroughbred horsemen are trying to rebuild

the industry, given the expected closure of Suffolk

Downs. The subcommittee scheduled three meetings

in May and June to solicit input. BH

CLAIMING CROWN AT GULFSTREAM THROUGH 2018By Frank Angst

With the Claiming Crown surpassing $10 million

in handle each of the past two years at Gulf-

stream Park, the track and organizers announced

plans to keep the event at Gulfstream through 2018.

Gulfstream is scheduled to host the $1.1 million

Claiming Crown—which rewards top claiming hors-

es with lucrative purses run in starter conditions—

for a fifth time in December. While the event has

also been conducted at Canterbury Park (where it

launched in 1999), Parx Racing, Fair Grounds Race

Course & Slots, and Ellis Park, the extension means

Gulfstream will welcome the event seven consecutive

seasons.

Gulfstream, the Thoroughbred Owners and

Breeders Association, and National Horsemen's Be-

nevolent and Protective Association announced the

extension on March 29.

"The Claiming Crown has enjoyed unparalleled

success since moving to Gulfstream Park, and we

are thrilled to be able to continue to host the event

there for the next three years," TOBA president Dan

Metzger said. "Over the last four years the Claim-

ing Crown has been elevated to a more prominent

status on the racing calendar, and this agreement

solidifies our remarkable partnership with both Gulf-

stream Park and the Florida HBPA." BH

GREAT PEDIGREE VARIETY AMONG DUBAI VICTORS

With eight graded events, the Dubai World

Cup card offered something for everyone,

and plenty of pedigree variety.

It was a big day for the Pulpit line. World Cup

(gr. I) winner California Chrome is by Lucky Pulpit

(Pulpit) out of a three-quarter sister to Unbri-

dled's Song's dam. Meanwhile, Japanese-trained

Lani, the UAE Derby (UAE-II) winner, is a son of

Tapit (Pulpit).

The two have very different distaff pedigrees.

California Chrome is

out of a mare by Not

For Love (Mr. Pros-

pector). She is inbred

3x3 to champion

Numbered Account

(herself 2x3 to

three-quarter sisters

Busanda and Strik-

ing, granddaughters

of La Troienne). In

this, he emulates his

male-line ancestor,

Seattle Slew, whose

dam was 3x3 to Strik-

ing and Busher.

Lani is out of the Sunday Silence mare Heav-

enly Romance, heroine of the Tenno Sho (Au-

tumn) (Jpn-I). His granddam, First Act, is a Sadler's

Wells three-quarter sister to Irish St. Leger (Ire-I)

scorer Dark Lomond. First Act is out of Ribot's

daughter Arkadina, who placed in the English

and Irish Oaks (both gr. I) and who was a sister

to Blood Royal, a group winner at two miles.

Lani shouldn't have problems with the distance

should he come to the Kentucky Derby (gr. I).

Lani's broodmare sire Sunday Silence is also

the paternal grandsire of Dubai Turf (UAE-I) scor-

er Real Steel, who is by Sunday Silence's heir ap-

parent, Deep Impact. Real Steel, out of the Storm

Cat mare Loves Only Me, is one of seven stakes

winners—five of them group/grade I winners—

for that cross. A half sister to European champion

2-year-old filly Rumplestiltskin, Loves Only Me is

out of Kingmambo's full sister Monevassia.

Kingmambo appears in the pedigrees of both

winner and runner-up in the Dubai Sheema Clas-

sic (UAE-I), Postponed and Duramente. Kingmam-

bo's son, Dubai Destination—a rising broodmare

sire—is broodmare sire of Postponed, who is

by Dubawi (Dubai Millennium-2000 World Cup

winner). This makes Postponed a Mr. Prospec-

tor/Mr. Prospector cross. Dubawi has 11 stakes

winners on that pattern—five group/grade I—

including 2015 World

Cup scorer Prince

Bishop. Duramente is

by Kingmambo's son,

King Kamehameha.

The Golden Sha-

heen (UAE-I) and

Godolphin Mile

(UAE-II) presented re-

verse crosses. The for-

mer went to Muarrab,

by Green Desert's son

Oasis Dream out of a

Wolfhound (Nureyev)

mare, and the latter

to One Man Band, by

Nureyev's grandson Pivotal out of a Cape Cross

(Green Desert) mare.

The day's longest and shortest events went

to horses whose pedigrees are somewhat out

of the mainstream. Winner of the Al Quoz Sprint

(UAE-I), the Australian-bred Buffering, is by Moss-

man (Success Express), from the almost defunct

Princequillo line. The two-mile Dubai Gold Cup

(UAE-II) went to Vazirabad, who is by Manduro,

the best son of leading German sire Monsun,

who comes from another near-extinct line, that

of Blandford, via English Triple Crown-winning

Bahram. BH
