VOLATILE BREEZES HOMEIN VANDERBILT
by Alan Carasso
Sent off the prohibitive 2-5 chalk while making his first
appearance in Grade I company, Three Chimneys Farm and
Phoenix Thoroughbreds= Volatile (Violence) fell out onto the
lead, enjoyed a soft time of things on the engine and turned it
on late to post a 1 1/4-length victory in the GI Alfred G.
Vanderbilt H. at Saratoga.
The Vanderbilt was reduced to a field of four by the gate
scratching of Lexitonian (Speightstown), who was unlikely to
have a say in the finish, but who may have set or otherwise
impacted the pace. The start of the race was further delayed by
Whitmore (Pleasantly Perfect), who broke through the gate, but
was pulled up after galloping about a furlong and was passed fit
to run. The quartet broke as one, but with none of the horses
showing particularly keen early interest, Ricardo Santana, Jr.
took the bull by the horns and led the field through an opening
quarter in :23.46, a nearly unheard-of split for this level of
competition.
Chased around the turn by dual Saratoga Grade I winner Mind
Control (Stay Thirsty) and GISW Firenze Fire (Poseidon=s
Warrior) farther out, Volatile turned for home after a half in
:46.67 and dared them to match strides with him late.

MAXIMUM SECURITY GUTS IT OUT IN
DRAMATIC SAN DIEGO H. by Alan Carasso
It=s never easy being the hunted.
Making his first start since the federal indictment of his former
trainer Jason Servis and sent out for the first time by trainer Bob
Baffert, Eclipse Award winner Maximum Security (New Year=s
Day) looked destined for defeat in Saturday=s GII San Diego H.
But the 4-year-old, last seen winning the $20-million Saudi Cup
nearly five months ago, overcame some aggressive race riding
and perhaps some ring-rustiness to grab Midcourt (Midnight
Lute) to take it by a nostril.
AThat was crazy. I knew I didn=t have him really drummed up
for this race, we were going to use this to get ready for the next
one,@ said winning trainer Bob Baffert. ABut we=re learning about
the horse. He won today when he had every reason to get beat.
He=s such a fighter. I=m glad we got this over with and now he=s
in good shape.@ Cont. p5

A. G. Vanderbilt H. cont.
But as he had done in previous
victories in Oaklawn allowance
company Apr. 24 and in the Listed
Aristides S. at Churchill June 6, he
delivered a quick turn of foot and
covered the final two furlongs in a
career-best :22.94 to defeat a very
game Whitmore. Mind Control
held for third over Firenze Fire, the
four horses covered by two
lengths at the wire.
"For a Grade I sprint race to be
allowed that first quarter [:23.46
seconds] was very fortunate,@ said
trainer Steve Asmussen, winning
the Vanderbilt for the third time
(Majesticperfection, 2009; Justin Phillip, 2013). AI think the
anxious moments were all pre-race with the incident at the gate.
Once he was away from the gate smoothly and they threw up
the first quarter, he would be awfully hard to beat from there.@
Added Phoenix Thoroughbreds=s Amer Abdulaziz: AWe=ll need
to see how he comes out of this, but the future looks exciting.
Today=s win was an important one for his value as a stallion, but
he also proved he is one of the best sprinters in the country.
We=d love to give him a chance
to prove that. This is our first
Grade I winner with Steve and
we are delighted for him and his
team. Also massive
congratulations to our very good
friends and partners Three
Chimneys.@
Volatile, his sire=s most
expensive horse sold at public
auction when hammering for
$850,000 at Keeneland
September in 2017, was a debut
winner at Ellis Park last August
and was second in Churchill
allowance company the
following month before closing the season with a victory in
Louisville Nov. 3. He posted stalk-and-pounce successes in his
two aforementioned appearances this season while running up
the score to the tune of 15 1/2 lengths combined.

Volatile is the second Grade I-winning sprinter for his sire in
the last five weeks, joining >TDN Rising Star= No Parole, who
earned his wings in the Woody Stephens S. in similar front-
running fashion. Volatile, also the 24th top-level winner
produced by a daughter of the late Unbridled=s Song, is out of a
stakes-winning daughter of Lady Tak, who was conditioned by
Steve Asmussen to wins in this track=s GI Test S. and GI Ballerina
S. Lady Tak is also the dam of Japanese SW & GSP A Shin Spartan
(Zensational) as well as the very promising 3-year-old filly Casual
(Curlin). Melody Lady is the dam of the 3-year-old colt Soccer
Dad (Bayern), a $260,000 KEESEP yearling who was second in a
Del Mar maiden turf sprint in his lone trip to the races. Her 2-
year-old of this year is the Bayern colt Grendel and she
produced a filly by Army Mule this season.

Maximum Security | Horsephotos
San Diego H. cont. from p1
Given a positive ride from the gates by Abel Cedillo, subbing
for Luis Saez, Maximum Security led passing under the wire, but
Victor Espinoza on Midcourt was clearly intent on making the
lead and Cedillo allowed him to do so rounding the turn. No
sooner had that happened when Flavien Prat aboard Higher
Power (Medaglia d=Oro) decided to up the ante, sending his
mount quickly up outside of the favorite to put him in a pocket
at the six-furlong peg. Steadied at that point, Maximum Security
lost a couple of lengths and was ultimately steered into the
clear, but he was under a ride with fully four furlongs to race,
looking to have it all to do. Nevertheless, Maximum Security
continued to grind away and was more or less on even terms as
they hit the top of the lane. It looked as if he might edge clear,
but Midcourt--in receipt of five pounds--boxed on gamely inside,
only to be on the wrong end of the photo finish.
Winner of the GI Florida Derby and GI Haskell Invitational S.
either side of his GI Kentucky Derby demotion, Maximum
Security missed the GI Travers S. and GI Pennsylvania Derby, but
would go on to defeat older rivals in the GIII Bold Ruler H. and in
the GI Cigar Mile H., earning him the Eclipse. Connections
elected to skip the GI Pegasus World Cup in January in favor of
the Saudi Cup and he proved equal to the task, calling upon his
determination to account for another Midnight Lute offspring--
namely, champion Midnight Bisou--by three-parts of a length.
Pedigree Notes:
Maximum Security=s dam was acquired by Gary and Mary
West for $80,000 in foal to Pioneerof the Nile at Keeneland
November in 2014 and was sold to Korean interests for $11,000
carrying a full-sibling to the then unraced 2-year-old Maximum
Security, who would make a victorious debut in a maiden
$16,000 claimer about six weeks later. Cont. p6
TDN HEADLINE NEWS • PAGE 6 OF 15 • THETDN.COM SUNDAY • JULY 26, 2020
Lil Indy and her weanling Korean-bred full-sister to Maximum
Security were acquired and returned to the U.S. and prepared
for last year=s Keeneland November sale. Lil Indy fetched $1.85
million in foal to Quality Road, while the weanling was bought
back on a bid of $190,000. Lil Indy, a half-sister to MGISW Flat
Out (Flatter), produced a colt by Quality Road Apr. 23.

What Starship Jubilee may have >lacked= in class entering a
clash with champion Sistercharlie in Saturday=s GII Ballston Spa
S. at Saratoga was potentially mitigated by the fact that she was
always going to hold a tactical advantage--positionally--given the
likely shape of the race. When the dust had settled after 8 1/2
furlongs, the blue-collar Florida-bred took full advantage to
cause a minor upset, as Sistercharlie could only finish a one-
paced third.
While Thais (Fr) (Rio de la Plata) parlayed pacemaker duties--
bar the GI Breeders= Cup Filly & Mare Turf, from which she was
scratched--for Sistercharlie into a couple of Grade I placings over
the past couple of seasons, the new >rabbit= was the commonly
owned North Broadway (Quality Road). The latter was ridden for
speed by Tyler Gaffalione and opened up double digits down the
backstretch, but allowed to bowl along by her lonesome, she set
only sedate fractions. For her part, Starship Jubilee tossed her
head about passing under the wire for the first time, ultimately
coalescing and settling third, with Sistercharlie watching her
every move just behind her. The swoopers began to whittle
away at the deficit rounding the second turn, but while
Sistercharlie was first to get going, Starship Jubilee countered
with a quick turn of foot of her owne and ranged up three wide
looking dangerous off the home corner. Starship Jubilee hooked
up with Call Me Love about a furlong from the line and hung for
a few strides in the waning stages, but edged clear to score.
"I thought [jockey Javier] Castellano rode her perfectly,@ said
trainer Kevin Attard, saddling his first graded winner at the Spa.
AThat horse [North Broadway] opened up and did the job they
intended her to do and set the pace up for Sistercharlie. The
favorite didn't kick in and the one horse [Call Me Love] kept
battling back. It looked like we were safe and home, but the one
wouldn't lay down and made it a good fight to the finish.@
Third, beaten a half-length by the Brown-trained and
Stephanie Brant-owned Significant Form (Creative Cause), in this
event last year, Starship Jubilee earned a breakthrough Grade I
in the E.P. Taylor S., but was defeated at 1-2 over ground softer
than she prefers in the GIII Cardinal S. at Churchill in November.
She was perfect in three Florida starts over the winter, taking
the Sunshine Millions Filly & Mare Turf in January, the
GIII Suwannee River S. the following month and Tampa=s
GIII Hillsborough S. when last spotted Mar. 7. Cont. p7

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
the New York-based Perfect Arc, trained by Angel Penna Jr. to
victory in the 1995 GI QE II Challenge Cup at Keeneland and a
trio of graded events on this circuit, including Saratoga=s GII
Diana H. 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 also represented by the 3-year-
old Allegedly Perfect (Kantharos), a 4 1/2-length maiden winner
on the Gulfstream main track this past May and more recently
of an allowance/optional claimer sprinting on the turf. Perfectly

Laura=s Light | Benoit
San Clemente S. cont.
Laura=s Light completed an international graded-stakes double
for owner Gary Barber, validating 6-5 favoritism in Saturday=
GII San Clemente S. at Del Mar. Barber=s silks were also carried
to victory in the GIII Selene S. at Woodbine.
Quickest away, the $95,000 Keeneland November weanling
took them under the line with a circuit to travel, but Abel Cedillo
was able to take enough of a hold of his mount to sit second,
conceding the lead to Cheermeister (Bodemeister) turning up
the backstretch. Keeping that front-runner in the crosshairs
rounding the second bend, Laura=s Light was asked to win her
race at the entrance to the straight, surging to the lead in upper
stretch before proving a facile winner. Guitty, last behind the
quick early tempo, was let loose by Juan Hernandez, circled up
outside of rivals turning for home and finished with good energy
to complete the exacta.
Acquired privately off a debut win at Golden Gate last
November, Laura=s Light was second to Alms (City Zip) in the
GIII Jimmy Durante S. over course and distance Nov. 30 before
defeating Croughavouke (Ire) (Dandy Man {Ire}) in Santa Anita=s
Blue Norther S. Dec. 29. She added winning graded black-type in
the GIII Sweet Life S. over 5 1/2 panels Feb. 16, stubbed her toe

Well-bred Shirl=s Speight turned in one of the more impressive
debuts of 2020 when he demolished nine rivals in front-running
fashion over seven grassy furlongs here July 4, and the >TDN
Rising Star= handled two turns and Tapeta just as well Saturday
to make the grade in Woodbine=s GIII Marine S. Away well from
the outside seven post, the favorite was content to sit second
locked on to frontrunner Untitled (Khozan)=s right hip through
splits of :24.59 and :48.68. He was asked for more by Rafael
Hernandez heading into the bend, took over seemingly a bit
early midway around the turn but kept finding from there under
confident handling to cruise to an easy victory. Second choice
Lucky Curlin completed the exacta with Dotted Line checking in
third.
ALike I said before, he=s a horse with a tremendous amount of
ability,@ said Hall of Fame trainer Roger Attfield, who was
celebrating his record fifth Marine victory but first since 1993.
AHe just had that one race and he never learned anything from
that race. He did get the experience from it, so today was going
to be more interesting... He settled down and rated. Once he
got to the five-eighths pole, I was pretty sure he=d just keep
galloping around there. He=s a very nice horse, for sure.@
Attfield has had high hopes for his budding superstar since last
year: AI=ve been excited about this horse from last year, to be
honest with you. He was always the workmate with [2019
Canadian champion 2-year-old] Mr. Hustle (Declaration of
War)... and [Shirl=s Speight] always looked like he might be the

One of three fillies in the race looking to give the Mark Casse
barn three consecutive wins in the GIII Selene S., Gary Barber=s
Two Sixty was given a well-rated ride from the front by Emma-
Jayne Wilson and held off 84-1 rank outsider Saratoga Vision for
a first graded-stakes success.
Kicked away from gate six, Two Sixty had company to her
inside in the form of two-time stakes winner Owlette, but she
was able to clear rounding the first turn, pricking her ears and
taking a breather entering the backstretch. The race was won
over the next internal four furlongs, as Wilson successfully
backed down whatever pace there was, clocking that distance in
:49.24 for an overall three-quarters time of 1:13.36. Turning
back a challenge from Owlette in upper stretch, Two Sixty was
asked for one final sprint and she was always holding the game
rally of Saratoga Vision to the wire. Favored Merveilleux
(Paynter) was wide the trip and boxed on to finish a close
fourth.
Winner of the My Dear Girl S. at Gulfstream last September,
Two Sixty was last of nine in the GI Breeders= Cup Juvenile Fillies,
but bounced back two starts later to land Tampa=s seven-furlong
Gasparilla S. Jan. 18. Fifth in the Feb. 8 Suncoast S. going two
turns in Oldsmar Feb. 8, the Florida-bred was ninth against older
state-bred females in the Musical Romance S. at Gulfstream and
was exiting a fourth to Owlette when making her Tapeta debut
in the June 13 Star Shoot S.
Pedigree Notes:
A $72,000 OBS October yearling, Two Sixty was hammered
down for--you guessed it--$260,000 at last year=s OBS March
sale, making her the most expensive of 22 juveniles for her now-
expatriated sire to go under the hammer last year. Uncaptured
was also conditioned by Casse and was sold late last year to
continue his stud career in South Korea. Cont. p12

HALLADAY FACES FIVE IN BERNARD BARUCH
Riding a two-race winning streak, Harrell Ventures' Halladay
(War Front) will try to take it to the next level in Sunday=s GII
Bernard Baruch S. at Saratoga. Victorious in Gulfstream=s
Tropical Park Derby last December, the grey finished fourth--
beaten two lengths--in the GIIII Tampa Bay S. Feb. 8 before
returning with a three-length score in a one-mile Gulfstream
optional claimer Apr. 4. Most recently, Halladay went
gate-to-wire over subsequent GI United Nations winner
Aquaphobia (Giant=s Causeway) and stablemate Social Paranoia
(Street Boss), who took the GIII Poker S. at Belmont Park two
starts later.
"So far, the turf course has not been kind to horses close to
the pace," said trainer Pletcher, who won the Baruch in 2012
with Dominus. AThat's really my only concern. The horse is
training super and we're excited about Sunday. He's in great
form and seems to be steadily improving. Obviously, he took to
the turf at Gulfstream quite well so I'm hoping that he can apply
that to this turf course.@
Jockey Luis Saez was aboard for Halladay's two latest winning
efforts and retains the mount from post six.
Trainer Chad Brown is represented by a pair of contenders in
the 8 1/2 furlong test--the lightly raced Good Governance (GB)
(Kingman {GB}) and graded-stakes winner Olympico (Fr)
(Rajsaman {Fr}). Campaigned by Seth Klarman's Klaravich
Stables, Good Governance broke his maiden last August over the
Spa's inner turf before finishing a close-up second in the
GIII Saranac S. Benched for the remainder of the season, the
English-bred registered a 3 3/4-length win in a Belmont
allowance June 26.
AHe's lightly raced, but he's very talented," said Brown.
"Hopefully he's up to the challenge. He has a nice race under his
belt and he looks good."
The bay=s regular pilot, Irad Ortiz, Jr., reunites with the 4-year-
old and will attempt to collect his third Bernard Baruch triumph.
Stablemate Olympico will attempt to record his first win since
lighting up the tote board at 18-1 in his North American debut in
last year's GII Fort Marcy S. at Belmont Park. Owned by Michael
Dubb, Madaket Stables and Wonder Stables, the 5-year-old
finished fifth in this race one year ago before finishing runner-up
in the GII Knickerbocker S. over the inner turf at Belmont
Oct. 14.

just sat there, and he did it on his own. Everything today was
just easy and comfortable on his part."
Trainer Barclay Tagg added, "Nothing fazes him. I don't know
that I've ever had a horse quite like him. His breathing was
perfect. You could tell he just worked, but it was nothing like
most horses. He's got three nice races under him. He's good and
fit and he's trained perfectly. He seems willing to want to do
more. Whenever we do more, he blazes off just as fast. He's a
great horse to have. We try not to take anything away from
him."

stretch his legs a little. Brian said he couldn=t have been happier,
kind of had his ears thrown up. Just cruised along. I think
[Churchill clocker] Big John [Nichols] had him galloping out in
1:01 and change. It was really nice, just what I wanted. I think he
got off the first eighth-mile in 13 [seconds] and just kind of
picked it up from there. He=s on the same schedule he=s been

HOROLOGIST CO-OWNER BANNED FOR
APPEARING IN WINNER=S CIRCLE by Bill Finley
Cameron Beatty, a co-owner of Horologist (Gemologist), has
been banned from Monmouth Park for the remainder of the
2020 meet after he appeared in the winner=s circle following her
win in the June 18 GIII Molly Pitcher S. Because of the
coronavirus, Monmouth is not allowing owners in the winner=s
circle or in the paddock.
Dennis Drazin, who heads the management team that runs
Monmouth, said that, for now, the suspension means only that
Beatty is not allowed on the premises. However, he said further
disciplinary actions could be taken after reviewing whether or
not Beatty has also been violating rules by going on the
backstretch.
AWe have rules and they have to be followed,@ Drazin said.
AWe have strict COVID-19 protocols that we submitted to the
state and they submitted them to the department of health and
they were signed off on by the racing commission and the
governor=s office. We were told we need to enforce our rules.
Here you have an owner that decided to disregard the rules. He
admits he disregarded the rules. It=s not like he says he didn=t
know. He deliberately violated the rules.@

Horses and riders break from Woodbine=s gate June 6 | Michael Burns
Beatty Banned From Monmouth cont.
Beatty tells a different story, that he was not aware of the
rules and was simply caught up in the moment after the horse
he owns along with Parkland Thoroughbreds, Medallion Racing
and Abbondanza Racing, LLC, won an important race.
A[Monmouth Racing Secretary] John Heims told me that I put
the sport of horse racing in New Jersey at risk,@ Beatty said. AI
didn=t intend to do that at all. I went down to the area of the
winner=s circle and I was excited. They told me grab your horse
and bring her into winner=s circle and I did that.@
Drazin was not sympathetic.
AHe=s gone out and posted things on social media and seems to
be blaming everyone but himself,@ he said. ABut he=s the one
who violated the rules.@
Beatty, 28, acknowledges that he should have read up on the
protocols in place at Monmouth, which are posted on the track=s
website, but insisted he did not intentionally break any rules.
AI=m not the type of person who starts trouble or ever gets into
trouble or breaks a rule,@ he said. AI try to do the right thing
when no one is looking.@
Beatty and Drazin also disagree on how the process unfolded.
Beatty said he asked Heims for a hearing and that Heims told
him not to bother because there was no chance the suspension
would be overturned. Drazin says that Beatty declined to have a
hearing.
AWe first wrote to him and offered him an opportunity to
come in and discuss it,@ Drazin said. AHe elected not to. He
admitted he violated our rules and told John Heims to do what
he had to do.@
AThey said I wanted no part of a discussion or wanted no part
of a hearing and that is completely false,@ Beatty said. AIt makes
me sick to my stomach because Dennis Drazin is someone with a
ton of authority and I=m just a little guy here. I=m trying to do
right thing for the industry and Jersey-bred racing, which is one
of the reasons we brought Horologist back, to give a Jersey-bred
a chance to win a graded stakes. I want a hearing. I want to give
my side of the story.@
Drazin said that, in the aftermath of the incident, he heard
from several people that Beatty had been violating additional
rules by sneaking onto the Monmouth backstretch, which could
lead to additional sanctions.
AWe=ve told him he=s not allowed here for the balance of the
2020 meet,@ Drazin said. ASince he started posting things on
social media, I have gotten a number of calls suggesting he=s
been violating our rules and sneaking on to the backside. I don=t
know if that is accurate or not. We=re going to have to have a
hearing on that.@
Drazin added that an additional penalty could be that Beatty
will not be allowed to race anymore horses during the meet.
Beatty said that because of the incident, Horologist is no
longer being considered for the Aug. 30 Charles B. Hesse III H.
for New Jersey breds.
AMe and my partners agreed after this happened that we=re
not going to run here her in the Hesse,@ he said. AThis has put a
bad taste in my mouth and makes me take a step back. I=m a big
believer that the punishment should fit the crime. I didn=t
commit a crime. It was just me, the jockey and the horse in the
winner=s circle.@
WOODBINE=S MINIMUM WEIGHT RAISED
TO 118
The minimum weight for jockeys will be raised to 118 pounds

conjunction with Condition Book 4. Woodbine Entertainment
made the announcement Saturday in consultation with the
Horsemen's Benevolent and Protective Association of Ontario
(HBPA) with a statement that Athe health and welfare of our
jockeys was the driving factor for this decision, and the new
base weight aligns with racing jurisdictions in Kentucky, Florida,
and New York.@
Depending on conditions and age, top weights will be up to
125 pounds. Stakes and handicap races will still be subject to
assigned weights by Woodbine=s racing secretary.

PROMINENT OWNER, BUSINESSMAN JON
KELLY DIES
Jon S. Kelly, a successful California businessman who
maintained Thoroughbred racing operations all over the world,
passed away Saturday morning at his home in Tres Palomas in
Rancho Santa Fe. He celebrated his 84th birthday July 24 and
passed away following a lengthy battle with cancer. Kelly had
been in hospice care and several family members, including his
wife, Sarah, were at his side at the time of his death.
Born in Berkeley and schooled in the east and at the University
of California--Berkeley, Kelly entered the broadcasting business,
founding Kelly Broadcasting Company and later founded and ran
Summit Broadcasting Radio Company. He owned television
stations in Seattle and Sacramento. He was also a successful
banker, having founded River City Bank in the state capitol and
was also a successful real estate executive.
A horse owner since the 1960s, Kelly has raced horses in
England, Ireland and Australia in addition to the U.S. He most
notably raced MGISW Borrego (El Prado {Ire}) with trainer Beau
Greely and also had horses with Bob Baffert, Richard Mandella
and Christophe Clement. Gingham (Quality Road), a horse raced
by Sarah Kelly and Jane Wiltz, won the Angels Flight S. just last
month at Santa Anita for Baffert. Kelly and his wife also
campaigned Red Vine (Candy Ride {Arg}), a stakes winner and
runner-up in the GI Breeders= Cup Dirt Mile and GI Cigar Mile H.,
with Clement.
Kelly also maintained racing stables in Australia with Gai
Waterhouse and in Ireland with Jessie Harrington. Sarah Kelly=s
Cayenne Pepper (Ire) (Australia {GB}) was runner-up in the
G1 Irish Oaks July 18. Kelly, in conjunction with Reg Inglis and
Paul Frampton, signed for an A$2-million son of I Am Invincible
(Aus) top the 2018 Magic Millions Gold Coast Yearling Sale in
Queensland, Australia.
"He was quite a guy," said Dr. Greg Ferraro, chairman of the
California Horse Racing Board and a longtime Kelly friend. "He
could make anyone laugh. He always lifted your spirits."
Ferraro told of business associates Kelly had worked with 30
and 40 years ago writing him letters recently sending thanks for
his council and guidance and how it had shaped their careers
and lives. He spoke personally of Kelly sending him to a
Louisville hospital for a life-saving operation, then make a huge
donation to the hospital in Ferraro's name.
"He didn't make it in his name, which he should have," said
Ferraro, "but that was John. He did so many good things for so
many people and he never bragged or looked for credit. He just
was a good person who did good things. He was special."
Kelly is survived by his wife and six children, as well as many
grandchildren.
Those wishing to make a donation in his name are encouraged
to do so at two of his favorite projects--the Center for Equine
Health at the UC Davis School for Veterinary Medicine or the
Gregson Foundation, which services backstretch workers and
their families.
At his request, there will be no services.

Violent Times earned her black-type badge Saturday in the Ana

through a :22.04 first quarter, the dark bay closed the gap
entering the far turn to move within striking distance. Sweeping
past the leader in mid-stretch, Violent Times extended clear to
register a decisive victory.
Violent Times kicked off this season with a third in the local
Captiva Island S. on the grass Mar. 7 and was a close second
next out in a main track optional claimer here Apr. 11. She set
the pace last time before fading to third in another main track

Vertical Threat | Benoit Photo
Don Juan Kitten | Sarah Andrew
Vertical Threat turned in his second dominant performance on
the dirt while handling his class test with aplomb Saturday at Del
Mar. Late on the scene to be sixth in a turf sprint at Santa Anita
May 23, the bay broke through by six lengths at Los Alamitos
June 27, good for an 89 Beyer Speed Figure. Made the second
choice behind GIII Lazaro Barrera S. runner-up Ragtime Blues in
this field of four, Vertical Threat broke well but allowed the
favorite to clear off as he sat second while off the inside. He
could wait no more into the turn and poked a head in front
midway on the bend before beginning to edge away after a half
in :45.46. Ragtime Blues had no rebuttal from there, and Vertical
Threat cantered home in impressive fashion. The winner was
produced by a half-sister to SW and GSP Bee Cee Cee
(Songandaprayer) and to the dam of GSW juvenile Brave Dave
(Put It Back). He has an unraced 2-year-old half-brother named
Traitors Gate (Broken Vow). Click for the Equibase.com chart or

this time, the homebred sat in midpack or so early under a tight

month. He was 10th on seasonal debut when resurfacing at
Gulfstream May 2, and second by a neck in a spot like this one
downstate June 7. Away on top, the grey settled into a distant
second around the first turn as Montauk Daddy (Daddy Long
Legs) sped off on a kamikaze mission. Don Juan Kitten inherited
the lead at the top of the stretch as the pacesetter dropped
anchor, got the jump on his foes and kicked on to prevail by

DARK VADER (h, 5, Tale of Ekati--Dark Obsession, by Grand

victory at Del Mar. He emerged from the early fray to settle
comfortably into a stalking position behind fractions of :23.44
and :47.97, then pounced on front-running Lambeau (First
Samurai) on the turn. Dark Vader put that one away, but had a
new threat in Potantico (Gemologist), who was attached to his
hip. Dark Vader refused to yield, crossing the wire a half-length
on top as the 4-5 chalk. The bay was last seen finishing third to

pressed the early leaders from third, ranged up three deep as
they hit the far turn and locked horns with Merneith (American
Pharoah) as they hit the top of the lane. Secret Keeper took over
in the stretch and pulled away to account for that rival by 2 1/2

Enable (GB) winning her third King George | Racing Post
THREE KING GEORGES FORTHE BRILLIANT ENABLE
Ascot=s promised match race failed to materialise on Saturdayas Khalid Abdullah=s epoch-defining Enable (GB) (Nathaniel {Ire})brushed aside the Ballydoyle contingent with an ease rarelyseen on this exalted stage. Forcing her way into history as thefirst to win three renewals of the Ascot centerpiece, theJuddmonte regina was at her exuberant best with FrankieDettori at pains to contain her from the outset of the G1 KingGeorge VI and Queen Elizabeth Qipco S., a Breeders= Cup >Winand You=re In= event to the GI Breeders= Cup Turf. As shesauntered behind Sovereign (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) with her well-matched rider content to allow last year=s G1 Irish Derby hero asmany lengths as he could take in the back straight, a look at themare and rider=s body language said all that needed to be saideven before the trio made the home straight. This Berkshirestrip of yardage has been graced by great pugilistic encounterssuch as Grundy-Bustino, but on this day it served only as aprocession strip for its most accomplished summer monarch.After Dettori had taken down his second pair of goggles andindulged in a lingering glance back to the struggling Japan (GB)(Galileo {Ire}) passing two out, the 4-9 favourite was finally letdown for that oh-so-familiar power surge. Yet another suprememoment denied a suitably populated attendance this year, her 5 1/2-length dismissal of Sovereign was nevertheless a definingone in the turf=s annals. The fact that Japan wound up 16 1/2lengths back despite being perfectly-tuned for the match istestament to that. Cont. p3
MAGICAL DISPLAY IN THE OFFING Avoiding her arch-foe Enable (GB) (Nathaniel {Ire}) at Ascot,
Magical (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) is kept to home soil to extend her
awe-inspiring record in domestic races in Sunday=s G1 Tattersalls
Gold Cup at The Curragh. With the race open to 3-year-olds in
this unusual year but drawing only one which is her stable=s
Armory (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}), Coolmore=s mare supreme looks to
have a straightforward task in accomplishing a ninth success
from 12 starts in Ireland. Her latest, in the course-and-distance
G1 Pretty Polly S. June 28, was arguably her finest as she was
giving 12 pounds weight-for-age and a 4 1/2-length beating to
the subsequent G1 Irish Oaks runner-up Cayenne Pepper (Ire)
(Australia {GB}). Last year=s G1 English and Irish Champion S.
heroine has five victories at the top level to boast of, including in
this last year and her odds reflect the prospect of her making it
six here. AShe is very well and we=ve been very happy with her
since her last run,@ Aidan O=Brien said of the 5-year-old, who will
have to wait a bit longer for a rematch with the Juddmonte
mare.
AMagical and Japan were being trained for the King George and
you=re never sure what is going to happen, but the two of them
seem to have come to this weekend very well. Magical was
happy to stay at home and run on a track that she knows
without having to travel--it looks like the race is going to suit her
lovely. She=s only had the one run this year, whereas Japan has
had the two runs and the King George was a race we had our
eye on with him for a long time. The Tattersalls Gold Cup is a
great race to have at the Curragh, and it=s a lovely race for
Magical ahead of the autumn.@
Joseph O=Brien saddles Lloyd Williams= admirable Buckhurst
(Ire) (Australia {GB}), who beat Magical=s stablemate Sir
Dragonet (Ire) (Camelot {GB}) in the G3 Alleged S. over this track
and trip June 27 and his level of consistency could easily see him
pull off a group 1 placing.

Enable wins her third King George, cont. from p1
Trainer John Gosden was fully aware of the historical context
of this achievement in the immediate aftermath. AI was
expecting to see that, but life can be full of disappointments,@ he
said. AI remember Angel Penna and Pawneese, Zilber and Dahlia
and to win this three times having come back from injury--she=s
quite some racemare. I find the responsibility quite enormous
and it weighs heavy, but what a pleasure to be around a race
mare like that.@ An expectedly-emotional Dettori, who was
joining Lester Piggott on seven King Georges, added, AIt=s never
been done before, so now we must try the impossible and win
three Arcs. My favourite girl--she=s no spring chicken, but she
made it look so easy. She has touched my heart.@
This 70th renewal in a year that will always be remembered
was staged in the midst of a rainstorm, which was fitting as
Enable first came to prominence in a much more dramatic
electric version when powering to victory in the 2017 G1 Epsom
Oaks, the first of 11 at this exalted level. While she will not get
to the 25 secured by Winx (Aus) or probably even the 15 of
Black Caviar (Aus) or 14 of Goldikova (Ire) before retirement
beckons, Enable was going one better than the operation=s
totemic Frankel (GB) and the past dual King George heroine
Dahlia on a Saturday afternoon marked forever by an outlandish
show of transcendence. All lingering doubts as to where her
level had got to following a shock defeat in her attempt at a
third G1 Prix de l=Arc de Triomphe and more greatly-anticipated
reversal at the hands of the impressive Ghaiyyath (Ire) (Dubawi
{Ire}) in the July 5 G1 Eclipse S. at Sandown were banished here.
When she was here for the first time three years ago, she was
running at a stone advantage due to weight-for-age over Ulysses
(Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) and co and that had shrunk to just a three-
pound sex allowance 12 months ago as she upstaged Crystal
Ocean (GB) (Sea the Stars {Ire}) in a tight contest. Both were
staged on good-to-soft ground after significant rain and
although the weather turned again to make it three wet
renewals for the Juddmonte star, the late onstage of the rain
meant that the surface was still on the fast side. Her winning
time of 2:28.92 confirmed that these are her ideal conditions,
with her previous King Georges won in 2:36.22 in 2017 and
2:32.42 last year. She is still the beneficiary of an allowance
which is not only unnecessary but also unfairly profitable
concerning a mare who is the physical match of any older male
in training, but her dominance in this particular affair far
exceeded a three-pound gift.
AShe had trained beautifully for this,@ Gosden added. AI was
clear she wasn=t tuned up properly for the Eclipse, but she=s
back in top order, there=s no doubt about that. It was a small but
elite field today. There aren=t that many about once Ghaiyyath
elected to go to York, and the Oaks and Derby winners live at
Ballydoyle. To that extent, the best were on show. With Anthony
Van Dyck not there, it was obvious Sovereign would set a solid
pace, not a mad one. Given Japan has won a Juddmonte
International over 10 furlongs, he was always going to ride him
to beat us for toe, but it went perfectly. I=m always worried here
when you get rain on quick ground, because they can lose their
hind legs but thankfully that didn=t happen.@
Gosden=s continued his race analysis, AWilliam [Buick] just
went and then built it, built it, built it all the way. He actually got
his fractions perfect, as he has stayed on well to finish second. I
think it was a great run from the second and I think we have
probably stretched the stamina of the third, but I wouldn=t
know. They are three proper ones and she came here and did it.
It has not been easy this year--as I have been clear with
everyone--getting her to race-fitness, but the Eclipse really
brought her on. The way she has trained, I was hoping that she
would do a Montjeu--I remember him imperiously winning a
King George for John Hammond. I thought there was a chance,
with the way she was training, she just might do that. There was
a hint of that, nothing quite so spectacular, but a hint of it
because they are group one horses.@

Enable | Edward Whitaker/Racing Post
AShe has enormous mental strength. When Prince Khalid asked
me last year that he was thinking about keeping her in training
for one more year, I said that she adores training. She loves
going out there and carries herself magnificently--she is a very
proud person--and I think to that extent, she has made my job
possible. I think by not putting too many miles on the clock, we
have kept that freshness and exuberance and that appetite.@
Enable is likely to reappear at York=s Ebor Festival next month
en route to a return to ParisLongchamp, but Gosden is undecided
as to which race the 6-year-old will take part in. With the
G1 Yorkshire Oaks set to feature the G1 Epsom Oaks heroine Love
(Ire) (Galileo {Ire}), a tantalising showdown could be on the cards
if she is steered back in the direction she took in 2019. AYork has
always been on the agenda and there are two races [the
G1 Juddmonte International and Yorkshire Oaks]. We=ll look at
both, as we did last year,@ he added. AYork could be really exciting,
with an exceptional Oaks winner heading there as well.@
Gosden also paid tribute to the world=s leading owner-
breeder. APrince Khalid is a magnificent owner and a passionate
horseman,@ he said. AHe knows his pedigrees and it was his
decision and his decision alone to keep her in training. I am lucky
to have trained for him for nearly 40 years, he totally under-
stands his horses and he clearly felt this was a filly who could do
it again, with the Arc just slipping through our hands last year.@
Pedigree Notes This came 10 days after Enable=s 3-year-old half-sister Portrush
(GB) (Frankel {GB}) broke her maiden at Yarmouth, making a
winner of every runner that Concentric (GB) (Sadler=s Wells) has
produced so far. Her first black-type performer was Contribution
(GB) (Champs Elysees {GB}), who was third in the G2 Prix de
Pomone and G3 Prix Allez France, while after Enable there has
been the G3 Musidora S. runner-up Entitle (GB) (Dansili {GB}).

Enable and Frankie Dettori | Racing Post
Cont. from p3
Following a mating with Sea the Stars (Ire) which has produced
the 2-year-old colt Derab (GB), she was understandably sent
back to the stallion that was responsible for this perfect alchemy
and her yearling colt by Nathaniel will be keenly-awaited by all.
The second dam is the G3 Prix de Royaumont winner Apogee
(GB) (Shirley Heights {GB}), who is kin to the G2 Grand Prix de
Chantilly scorer Daring Miss (GB) (Sadler=s Wells) who was also
second in the G1 Grand Prix de Saint-Cloud. Apogee=s G2 Prix de
Royallieu winner and G1 Prix de Diane runner-up Dance Routine
(GB) is also by Sadler=s Wells, while her G3 Prix Thomas Bryon
winner Apsis (GB) was by Sadler=s Wells= son Barathea (Ire).
Dance Routine went on to produce the multiple group and
grade I hero Flintshire (GB) (Dansili {GB}) and is the second dam
of the GII Baltimore/Washington International Turf Cup scorer
Projected (GB) (Showcasing {GB}) and last year=s G2 Prix Eugene
Adam and G2 Prix Guillaume d=Ornano scorer Headman (GB)
(Kingman {GB}).

Aspetar=s trainer Roger Charlton | Racing Post
ASPETAR TURNS ON THE STYLE AT YORK Saturday=s G2 Sky Bet York S. had the look of a competitive
affair beforehand and there was no fluke in the dominant
success of Sheikh Mohammed bin Khalifa Al Thani=s Aspetar (Fr)
(Al Kazeem {GB}) despite his odds of 11-1 suggesting otherwise.
Successful in last year=s G1 Preis von Europa and G2 Grand Prix
de Chantilly, the 5-year-old had
put in a highly creditable
comeback performance when
second in Sandown=s Listed
Gala S. July 5 and took the
requisite step forward to put
some smart rivals to the sword
here. Anchored in last early by
a confident Jason Watson as
the ultimately-disappointing
Elarqam (GB) (Frankel {GB})
attempts to dictate, the bay
tanked into contention moving
notably the best in the straight
and was in command with
1 1/2 furlongs remaining.
Despite the game effort in pursuit of Lord Glitters (Fr) (Whipper)
to keep him honest, he was away and gone and at the line had
1 1/2 lengths to spare over the strong closer Fox Chairman (Ire)
(Kingman {GB}), with half a length between him and Lord
Glitters who was honouring his late owner Geoff Turnbull with a
typically tenacious display.
AWe=ve always liked him and he has become more relaxed at
home and matured plenty,@ Watson said. AHe=s not always the
most straightforward, but he put the race to bed quickly. He=s
quite versatile, from a mile to a mile and a half and is a well-built
small horse with a great turn of foot. That=s not always the case
with some of these middle-distance horses and it plays into our
hands. It was a competitive race today and I didn=t think he=d
win like he did, but he=s obviously improved massively.@
Kept to a slower surface in his formative period, Aspetar who
had captured the 11-furlong Listed Cocked Hat S. at Goodwood
as a 3-year-old was allowed to tackle faster conditions in the
Grand Prix de Chantilly and relished them to register a career-
best in that 12-furlong contest on the Prix du Jockey Club
undercard. Fourth later that month in the G1 Grand Prix de
Saint-Cloud, he stayed at a
mile and a half to land the
Preis von Europa at Cologne in
September and run 13th in
the Dec. 8 G1 Hong Kong
Vase. Just denied by
Godolphin=s potentially top-
class Magny Cours (Medaglia
d=Oro) in the 10-furlong Gala
at Sandown, he had Fox
Chairman behind and also the
subsequent Listed Steventon
S. winner Global Giant (GB)
(Shamardal) in a race that is
standing up to scrutiny.
Roger Charlton=s son and
assistant Harry said, ALast time
at Sandown taught us that he has got an electric turn of foot.
Jason will admit himself that he went a bit early at Sandown and
he said he surprised him how quickly he ran past a pretty good
field and then got tired and wandered before being beaten by a
pretty good horse of Andre Fabre=s. I think Jason would say he
probably got there too soon again, but he got the job done and
he was impressive. It is possible we could go back to the [G1]
Juddmonte [International]. We looked at some of the German
races he could have run in, but the prize money levels have
been decimated. We are kind of pot-hunting, with him being a
gelding. I suspect the owners= aim will be to end up in Qatar for
the big races at the end of the year, so we will build towards
that.@

Magical (Ire) | Patrick McCann/Racing Post
Pedigree Notes Aspetar hails from the one of European racing=s finer families,
being a descendant of Fittocks Stud=s matriarch Souk (Ire)
(Ahonoora {GB}). Dam of the listed winner and group-placed
Puce (GB) (Darshaan {GB}) and second dam of the G2 Lancashire
Oaks winner Pongee (GB) (Barathea {Ire}), the G1 Melbourne
Cup hero Rekindling (GB) (High Chaparral {Ire}) and G1 Irish
Derby runner-up Golden Sword (GB) (High Chaparral {Ire}), her
daughter Shouk (GB) (Shirley Heights {GB}) proved a high-quality
broodmare by producing some smart performers headed by the
G1 Cheveley Park S. heroine Magical Romance (Ire) (Barathea
{Ire}) and G1 Epsom, Irish and Yorkshire Oaks heroine
Alexandrova (Ire) (Sadler=s Wells). In turn a half to the G2 Dahlia
S. winner Somehow (Ire) (Fastnet Rock {Aus}), the G2 Prix
Kergolay scorer Alex My Boy (Ire) (Dalakhani {Ire}) and the G3
Athasi S. winner Happen (War Front), Alexandrova is a half to
Aspetar=s dam Bella Qatara (Ire) (Dansili {GB}), who is also a
relative of the G1 Irish Oaks heroine Chicquita (Ire) (Montjeu
{Ire}) and the similarly high-class Magic Wand (Ire) (Galileo
{Ire}). Her unraced 3-year-old filly by Footstepsinthesand (GB) is
named Jamila (Ire), while she also has a yearling colt by Lope de
Vega (Ire) and a filly foal by Sea the Stars (Ire).

Magical heads the Tattersalls Gold Cup, cont. from p1
If there is a suprise package in the line-up, it could be Zhang
Yuesheng=s June 12 G2 Mooresbridge S. winner Leo De Fury (Ire)
(Australia {GB}) who looked a different proposition when
hammering Ballydoyle=s smart Fleeting (Ire) (Zoffany {Ire}) by
three lengths in that 10 1/2-furlong prep here.
Munich=s G1 Grosser Dallmayr-Preis shares the same status as
the Tattersalls Gold Cup, but it will take considerably less to win
which is good news for Godolphin=s Barney Roy (GB)
(Excelebration {Ire}) and Chantal Regalado-Gonzalez=s
Patrick Sarsfield (Fr) (Australia {GB}). The former, who took the
G1 Jebel Hatta at Meydan Mar. 7, was third in the G1 Prince of
Wales=s S. over this mile-and-a-quarter trip at Royal Ascot June
17, while the quick-progressing Patrick Sarsfield comes into this
on the back of an authoritative success in the nine-furlong
G3 Meld S. at Leopardstown July 11.
ABarney Roy put up a decent performance on ground that was
slower than ideal in the Prince of Wales=s Stakes,@ Charlie
Appleby said. AHe came out of the race well and this has always
been the target since. He goes into this race in good shape and a
repeat of his runs so far this year should make him the one to
beat.@
In Ascot=s G3 Betfred Valiant Fillies= S. over a mile, Billesdon
Brook (GB) (Champs Elysees {GB}) looks for compensation for
her neck defeat in Newmarket=s G1 Falmouth S. July 10 in which
she split Nazeef (GB) (Invincible Spirit {Ire}) and Terebellum (Ire)
(Sea the Stars {Ire}). She encounters Lael Stable=s unbeaten and
still unexposed Miss O Connor (Ire) (Roderic O=Connor {Ire}),
who was last seen taking the G3 Prix Perth at Saint-Cloud in
October. AIt=s a lovely race for her and she=s in great nick,@
trainer Richard Hannon said of Billesdon Brook.
TDN EUROPE • PAGE 7 OF 16 • THETDN.COM SUNDAY • 26 JULY 2020
FIRST-SEASON SIRESWITH RUNNERS
Hannon continued, AShe has run good races at Ascot and
elsewhere. It=s all to do with if she=s in form on the day--if she is
then she=s very hard to beat and if not she runs moderately, but
we never know until a furlong and a half out. She=s a star--no
matter how she runs, she=s loved at home. To have a Classic
winner still in training at five is great for racing and we=re all
enjoying the ride.@
Also on the card is the G3 Princess Margaret Betfred S., in
which the increasingly-elusive TDN Rising Star More Beautiful
(War Front) needs better ground than she encountered when
ninth in the G2 Queen Mary S. at the Royal meeting June 20.
Third in that contest at 100-1, Caroline Dale (GB) (Lethal Force
{Ire}) has since won at Windsor July 6 and heads a two-pronged
attack from the David Loughnane stable alongside the July 10
G2 Duchess of Cambridge S. third Santosha (Ire) (Coulsty {Ire}).
The form of that Newmarket contest was boosted by the
subsequent Listed Star S. success of the runner-up Fev Rover
(Ire) (Gutaifan {Ire}) and the trainer is relishing seeing them both
in action. AWe only have 10 or 11 two-year-old fillies in the yard,
so to have two of their calibre is fantastic,@ he said.
AI would prefer not to run them against each other, but you
have to train them as individuals and it=s the right race for them
both,@ Loughnane added. AI think they both have fantastic
chances and I=m very bullish about both. They are both different
fillies--Caroline wears her heart on her sleeve, bombs out of the
gate and is dynamite in front and if you are good enough to pass
her they=ll have to fight for it. Santosha likes to take her time
and saves a bit up her sleeve--she=s very tough. She was green
still at Newmarket and when she came with her run Dandalla
just drifted across her a bit. She=s come on a lot, while Caroline
just has so much ability. I think both are borderline on their way
to being group one horses.@
At York, the Listed British Stallion Studs EBF Lyric Fillies= S. sees
Khalid Abdullah=s Franconia (GB) (Frankel {GB}) take on the
older horses following her impressive success in Newbury=s
Listed Abingdon Fillies= S. The form of that 10-furlong Oaks prep
has been boosted by the listed win of the runner-up Cabaletta
(GB) (Mastercraftsman {Ire}) and the highly-regarded half-sister
to the G1 Nassau S. heroine Winsili (GB) (Dansili {GB}) will be a
warm order to cap another stellar weekend for Juddmonte. John
Gosden said of the homebred, who was forced to miss the
G3 Musidora S. here earlier this month, AShe scoped with mucus
before the Musidora. She has always been a little bit inclined
that way and I just wasn=t happy with her. She is like her sister
Winsili and is very full of herself at home. She is quite a
character, but she seems in good form. It was a good effort to
break her maiden in a listed race, but she now has to carry a
penalty for that victory in this race. The race at Newbury is
working out quite well.@
Franconia encounters Mohamed Khalid Abdulrahim=s highly-
regarded Gold Wand (Ire) (Golden Horn {GB}), who was out of
her depth and probably running over too far when a distant
seventh in the July 4 G1 Epsom Oaks. Jockey Andrea Atzeni is
confident she can bounce back. AI think a mile and a quarter on
a flat track like York will suit her perfectly, because she won over
that trip at Newbury,@ he explained. AShe is a filly that we like
quite like. We took a chance in the Oaks, because we thought
she would be competitive in that race. But it just never
happened for her, as she probably didn=t have enough
experience. She didn=t have a hard race in the Oaks and she
came out of it fine. We are very pleased with her.@

ALBASHEER A NEW RISING STAR AT
DONCASTER Owen Burrows had enjoyed the limelight last Saturday when
Tabdeed (GB) (Havana Gold {Ire}) took the G3 Hackwood S. and
he had something else to ponder a week on after Albasheer
(Ire) (Shamardal) earned TDN Rising Star status at Doncaster.
Starting the seven-furlong British Stallion Studs EBF Novice S. as
a 17-2 shot, the chestnut was under restraint from David
Probert from the break and suffered some barges as he tracked
the group racing towards the rear. Shaken up to chase the
fellow Shadwell representative Alablaq (Ire) (Lope de Vega {Ire})
approaching two out, the imposing homebred descendant of
Height of Fashion (Fr) brushed that rival aside with 1 1/2
furlongs remaining and surged clear under hand riding to record
a highly impressive 6 1/2-length debut success. Alablaq was
coming here on the back of a debut second to the afternoon=s
Listed Pat Eddery S. winner Chindit (Ire) (Wootton Bassett {GB}),
while there was another 1 3/4 lengths back to the newcomer
Athers (Ire) (Dubawi {Ire}), a full-brother to the G2 Summer Mile
winner Aljamaaheer (Ire). The dam Mutebah (Ire) (Marju {Ire}),
who also has a yearling filly by Lope de Vega (Ire), was in
training with John Hammond and finished third in the Listed Prix
des Tourelles. She is a granddaughter of the Listed Pretty Polly S.
runner-up Wijdan (Mr. Prospector) who was responsible for the
GII New York S. winner and GI Diana S. third Makderah (Ire)
(Danehill) and Oriental Fashion (Ire) by Mutebah=s sire Marju
who captured the G2 Premio Ribot before producing five stakes
performers including the G3 City of Auckland Cup winner St Jean
(Ire) (Teofilo {Ire}) and the sire Green Coast (Ire) (Green Desert)
who was runner-up in the G2 Godolphin Mile. As mentioned
above, the fourth dam is the legendary Height of Fashion, which
links Albasheer to the operation=s standard-bearers Nashwan,
Nayef and Unfuwain.

Making a winning debut over this trip at Doncaster July 5,
Chindit took the next step up the ladder at the expense of some
well-regarded peers to maintain his perfect record here. Drawn
on the wing and racing at the back of the group racing up the
centre, the bay travelled strongly into contention approaching
the two-furlong marker and overhauled Cobh 150 yards out en
route to a clear-cut success. Trainer Richard Hannon is of a mind
to aim high now and said, AHe won well first time and generally
if ours win first time, they are very good. He worked very well
during the week and I thought he was very impressive. He
looked like he=ll get a mile no problem and won with authority.

Chindit (Ire) | Racing Post
Hannon continued, AThere are loads of options, but we=ll have
to go big, so to speak. He=s come out of nowhere, because he
wasn=t flashy at home. Early on, I thought he might have come
to hand sooner, but we=ve taken our time and he=s felt the
benefit. He=ll be in the Dewhurst, all those sorts of races.@
The winner is the first foal out of a relative of the G1 Epsom
Derby hero and successful sire Motivator (GB) and his
G2 Hardwicke S.-winning full-brother Macarthur (GB). Her

favourite asserted to score by 1 1/2 lengths from Dance Fever
(Ire) (Sir Prancealot {Ire}). AHe likes a bit of cover and from the
wing I had to miss the break,@ Frankie Dettori said. AIf I=m honest
I didn=t give the best of rides. He had a mountain to climb, but
he took me into the race with ease and it was a very good

approaching the two pole and quickened to the front with 100
yards remaining en route to a 1 1/2-length success from Henrik
(Ire) (Gutaifan {Ire}). One of six foals by Teofilo (Ire) out of a

speak to [owner] Sheikh Isa [Al Khalifa] and see what he thinks.
That is the first winner I have trained for him and I was starting
to think it wasn=t going to happen. He is up to running in a Group
race and it=s just how we find our way there. He will get seven

DHAHABI (IRE) (c, 2, Frankel {GB}--Fleche d=Or {GB}, by Dubai

guineas at last year=s renewal of Tattersalls= October Book 1 sale
and the half-brother to MG1SW G1 Epsom Derby and G1 Prix de
l=Arc de Triomphe hero Golden Horn (GB) (Cape Cross {Ire}) duly
delivered a debut win here. The March-foaled bay was slightly
sluggish at the break and tanked forward from a position in rear
to go third at halfway. Coming under pressure with three
furlongs remaining, the 15-8 chalk was driven along to challenge
passing the eighth pole and ridden out on the climb to withstand
the late charge of 50-1 poke Dinoo (Ire) (Starspangledbanner
{Aus}) by a neck. AI=m very pleased with Dhahabi and it will have
been a great experience for him,@ said winning trainer Charlie
Appleby. AHe=s a very good-looking individual, he has a great
stride and stepping him up in trip will certainly bring about
improvement. We=ll give him a bit of a break now and he may
have one or two more runs this season with an eye on next
year.@ Full-brother to a yearling filly, Dhahabi is the sixth of
seven surviving foals and fifth winner out of an unraced half-

Carrying a penalty for her seven-length success in The
Curragh=s G3 Loughbrown S. in September, Kastasa proved
professional to return a winner as bigger staying targets await
this season. Settled with three ahead initially by Oisin Orr,
victory looked unlikely as she was pushed along before the
home bend but stamina is her strong suit and once straightened
for home she was able to take command with 1 1/2 furlongs to
race. Tackled by Nan Yehi and pushed to the line, the homebred
gave the impression she was idling in front and her rider
believes there is plenty to come.
AThey didn=t go much of a gallop and she does stay a bit
further, so her class got her through,@ Orr commented. AShe
picked up well under pressure and found plenty, then had a
good blow when she got to the front.@
Trainer Dermot Weld added, AIt was her first run back. She had
a very busy and highly successful year last year and the plan had
always been to start her today. She=ll go for the [G3] Stanerra [at
Naas] in about three weeks= time. The race wasn=t really run to
suit her there, but class is class. She=ll improve from that run
too. Horses like her usually don=t win impressively or by big
distances, but they keep winning. The [G1] Irish Leger could be
quite possible for her, long-term.@
The dam, who also produced the listed-placed Kassaba (Ire)
(Charm Spirit {Ire}), is a half-sister to the former Irish Leger
heroine Kastoria (Ire) (Selkirk). Also runner-up in the G1 Hong
Kong Vase, she is in turn a daughter of the G3 Prix Minerve
scorer Kassana (Ire) (Shernazar {Ire}). Kasanka has the unraced
2-year-old colt Kasansay (Ire) (Fast Company {Ire}) and a yearling
filly by Profitable (Ire).

AMBER KITE (IRE) (f, 2, New Bay {GB}--Arctic Passage {Ger}, by
Rail Link {GB}), who hit the board behind decent sorts in seven-
furlong heats at Limerick on debut June 29 and last time July 17,
was sharply away from the inside gate and seized immediate
control of this one. Hounded by Anna Strada (GB) (Havana Gold
{Ire}) throughout, the 11-10 favourite was strongly pressed by
that rival passing the quarter-mile marker and was driven out to
assert by an ultimately snug half-length, becoming the seventh
winner for her freshman sire (by Dubawi {Ire}). AShe=s a very
honest filly and it=s easy when they are honest like that,@ said
assistant trainer Shane Lyons. AShe goes on any ground, it was
seven furlongs there and will definitely get a mile. She=s been
busy up to now so we=ll just take a little bit of a pull.@

Never Forgotten (Ire) | Patrick McCann/Racing Post
Lyons added, AWe=ll definitely be hunting for black-type now.
Colin [Keane] thinks she=s capable of that because she has the
honesty. She=ll improve because she was green making the
running and, in a black-type race, she won=t have to be as
aggressive.@ Half to a yearling colt by Dawn Approach (Ire), she is
the fourth of five foals and first scorer for her winning dam,
herself out of a half-sister to G2 Sun Chariot S. victress

NEVER FORGOTTEN (IRE) (f, 3, Galileo {Ire}--Ishvana {Ire}
{GSW-Eng, G1SP-Ire, $183,936}, by Holy Roman Emperor {Ire}),
who was runner-up over this trip at The Curragh July 10, raced
towards the fore initially before being settled behind the leading
quartet. Delivered stand=s side to lead approaching the final
furlong, the 3-1 second favourite drew away to score by 3 1/2
lengths from So Wonderful (War Front). Brendan Powell,
assistant to Joseph O=Brien, said, AIt was a nice performance and
she has improved. She=s laid-back, such a relaxed filly, and
typical of a Galileo. I don=t think the ground will be a problem to
her anywhere and you could see her being a real nice filly going
over further. She=s so chilled out and relaxed that you don=t
know what improvement is there. Hopefully she has a nice
future, because she=s got a good pedigree too.@ The G3 Jersey S.-
winning dam, who was also runner-up in the G1 Irish 1000
Guineas, has a yearling colt by Churchill (Ire) to follow. Lifetime

FLITSCH (GER) (c, 2, Reliable Man {GB}--Forever Nadine {Ger}

quarter-mile remaining, the 37-10 chance came under sterner
urging thereafter and kept on well to edge Peaches (Ger) (Lord

fourth winner for G3 Silberne Peitsche third Muriel (Ire) (Fath),

BELGARION SWOOPS LATE IN DURBAN JULY
In common with much of the racing world, Africa=s richest
race, the G1 Vodacom Durban July, took place behind closed
doors at Greyville, but had spectators been in the grandstand
they would have been afforded a close-up view of the winner.
Belgarion (SAF) (Dynasty {SAF}), who jumped from stall 17,
came widest of all in the 18-runner field to swoop late,
extending his winning sequence to five for Justin Snaith.

With the large field stretched across the width of the track, the
first three home were all late closers down the stands= side, with
3-year-old Got The Greenlight (SAF) (Gimmethegreenlight

Belgarion=s stable-mate and the winner of the race in the last
two seasons, Do It Again (SAF) (Twice Over {GB}). One of five
runners for Snaith, Belgarion, ridden by Richard Fourie, provided
his trainer with his fifth victory in the Durban July. The 4-year-
old has now won seven of his nine starts, including the
G2 Glorious Goodwood Peninsula H. back in January, for owner-
breeders Alec and Gillian Foster. Belgarion is the seventh foal
and one of seven winners for the dual German winner Riva (Ger)
