FLORIDA GOOD DERBY SOURCE FOR REDDAM RACINGBy Alastair Bull

Florida 2-year-olds in training sales have proved a

great source of 2016 Kentucky Derby (gr. I) con-

tenders for Reddam Racing.

At the Fasig-Tipton Florida sale in March, trainer

Doug O'Neill's brother Dennis paid $400,000 on behalf

of Reddam Racing for champion 2-year-old male

Nyquist (Uncle Mo), who begins his Derby preparation

in the Feb. 15 San Vicente (gr. II) at Santa Anita Park.

A few weeks later, the same team spent $120,000

on a Quality Road colt at Ocala Breeders' Sales Co.'s

March 2-year-old sale.

That colt, Frank Conversation, emphasized his

Derby credentials by winning the $200,000 El Cami-

no Real Derby (gr. III) Feb. 13 on Golden Gate Fields'

synthetic track.

Doug O'Neill said Frank Conversation is likely to

stay on synthetic for his next start, the April 2 Spiral

Stakes (gr. III) at Turfway Park.

"The buildup (to the Kentucky Derby) is almost as

exciting as the actual event," he said. "When you have

a good horse and you keep him injury-free and watch

him train every day, there's no better feeling." BH

SEVERAL TRACKS CANCEL FEB. 13 RACE CARDS With single-digit temperatures expected during racing hours, Turfway Park canceled live racing for Feb. 13, and New York's Aqueduct Racetrack also canceled the day's card, citing high winds and sub-zero wind chills.

ZICONIC SET FOR DEBUT AT SANTA ANITA The second son of Zenyatta is approaching his long-awaited debut. Trainer John Shirreffs said Jerry and Ann Moss' homebred Ziconic will likely make his debut at Santa Anita Park Feb. 20.

DESTIN POSTS FIRST STAKES WIN IN SAM F. DAVIS Destin surged to the lead off the far turn and then turned back a stretch challenge from Rafting to win the $250,000 Sam F. Davis Stakes (gr. III) Feb. 13 at Tampa Bay Downs.

SARAH SIS TARGETS BAYAKOA After a tough beat in the Jan. 23 American Beauty Stakes, Rags Racing Stable's grade II winner Sarah Sis takes on eight rivals in the $100,000 Bayakoa Stakes (gr. III) Feb. 14 at Oaklawn Park.

RELOAD FIRES IN 2016 DEBUT, WINS TAMPA BAY Phipps Stable homebred Reload opened his 7-year-old season with a bang, outlasting longshot Take the Stand in the stretch to win the $150,000 Tampa Bay Stakes (gr. IIIT) Saturday, Feb. 13 on the turf at Tampa Bay Downs.

PENWITH LANDS GRADED SCORE IN ROYAL DELTA Godolphin Racing's Penwith finally broke through to her first graded score Feb. 13, when she took the $200,000 Royal Delta Stakes (gr. II) at Gulfstream Park by three lengths.

TARA'S TANGO GETS UP IN SANTA MARIA A tough-luck finisher in two graded stakes runs in the past year, Stonestreet Stable's homebred Tara's Tango broke through Feb. 13 in the $200,000 Santa Maria Stakes (gr. II) at Santa Anita Park.

TEPIN ALL CLASS IN 2016 DEBUTBy Claire Novak

Champion Tepin looks ready for another great

year after a scintillating season debut in the 1

1/16-mile $150,000 Endeavour Stakes (gr. IIIT) at

Tampa Bay Downs.

Robert Masterson's 5-year-old daughter of

Bernstein, last seen beating boys in the Breeders'

Cup Mile (gr. IT), toyed with five rivals from her

own division. She galloped home a 3 1/2-length

winner under a hand ride from regular partner

Julien Leparoux in a final time of 1:42.91 on a firm

turf course.

While a return to the Breeders' Cup is the goal

for the Eclipse Award-winning Mark Casee trainee,

Tepin's first major target remains another faceoff

with males in the April 15 Maker's 46 Mile (gr. IT) at

Keeneland.

For Tepin's 15-year-old dam Life Happened

(Stravinsky), a session with War Front is in store.

Also the producer of grade II winner Vyjack, Life

Happened was carrying a Harlan's Holiday colt

when bought by Solis and Litt for LNJ Foxwoods for

$750,000 at the 2014 Keeneland January horses of

all ages sale. That colt is now in Florida with Eddie

Woods. Her 2015 foal by Into Mischief died. BH

BOLO BREAKS THROUGH IN ARCADIABy Jeremy Balan

Pitting Bolo against multiple graded winners Ob-

viously and Om was never the ideal situation for

the 4-year-old's return off a seven-month layoff, but

trainer Carla Gaines has had nothing but good things

to say about the son of Temple City's development

heading into the Arcadia (gr. IIT) Feb. 13 at Santa

Anita Park.

Now exceeding 17 hands, the one-time Kentucky

Derby (gr. I) longshot fired his best shot in the mile

grass race, tracking down veteran grade I-winning

frontrunner Obviously in the final strides to secure

his first graded victory by a neck.

Bolo's jockey Flavien Prat never let the speedy

8-year-old Obviously get out of reach through frac-

tions of :22.70, :45.67, and 1:09.13. The pair hit the

wire in a sizzling 1:33.09. Om, who uncharacteristi-

cally trailed five lengths off the leader early, finished

third, 2 3/4 lengths back.

"Carla did just an amazing job—incredible," said

Bolo's part owner Keith Brackpool. "Her patience

over a seven-month period drives me crazy, but then

in one day, it all comes together." BH

PATIENCE PAYS OFF FOR DANCING HOUSEBy Frank Angst

After a juvenile grade I placing, stakes success

seemed around the corner for Godolphin Rac-

ing's Dancing House, but as it turned out, her con-

nections would have to wait a few years.

That wait ended Feb. 13 when the 5-year-old home-

bred Tapit mare tracked early leader Hot City Girl and

then out-dueled Lady Sabelia in the stretch to win the

$300,000 Barbara Fritchie Stakes (gr. II) at Laurel Park.

Dancing House, third in the Spinaway (gr. I) as

a 2-year-old, opened her season with a runner-up

finish to recently-retired champion female sprinter

La Verdad in the Interborough Stakes last month at

Aqueduct Racetrack.

The victory added to a strong seasonal start for

trainer Kiaran McLaughlin, who also sent out Fritchie

runner-up Clothes Fall Off and won Saturday's Royal

Delta Stakes (gr. II) at Gulfstream Park with Penwith.

McLaughlin has six stakes wins this season in

the U.S. and Dubai, including a win in the Holy Bull

Stakes (gr. II) with Shadwell Stable's undefeated clas-

sic hopeful Mohaymen. BH

FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH DUO LOOKS WELL IN WORKOUTSBy Alastair Bull

Two of the horses set to take on leading Kentucky

Derby (gr. I) prospect Mohaymen at the end of

February looked good during Gulfstream Park work-

outs Feb. 13.

Awesome Banner (Awesome of Course), who

extended his unbeaten record to three races with an

easy Swale Stakes (gr. II) victory Jan. 30, impressed

when he ran five furlongs in 1:00.03.

Cherry Wine (Paddy O'Prado), winner of his last

two starts, was even quicker, running the same dis-

tance in :59.31.

"He went easy. It looked like he was going slower,"

trainer Dale Romans said. "He did it right and gal-

loped out good, came back good."

Both horses are being set for the Fountain of

Youth Stakes (gr. II) Feb. 27 at Gulfstream Park,

where they are likely to run into Mohaymen (Tapit),

who maintained his unbeaten status in the Holy Bull

Stakes (gr. II) Jan. 30.

Mohaymen continued his march toward the Foun-

tain of Youth when running four furlongs in :47.75 at

Palm Meadows Feb. 12. BH

SUNLAND PLANS TO RESUME RACING FEB. 26By Claire Novak

Racing could resume at Sunland Park Feb. 26, al-

though horses with equine herpesvirus are still on

the grounds and no one is allowed to ship into or out

of the New Mexico track.

Officials announced a plan Feb. 13 allowing

non-quarantined horses to run, even as 40% of the

barn area remains under quarantine. Sixty-six horses

have tested positive since racing halted Jan. 22; six

are dead because of the virus.

A previous policy suspending racing for 14 days

from the time of each new positive now applies only

to the barn the positive horse came from, director of

marketing Eric Linder said.

"All the other barns that are not under quarantine

and have had no positive tests in the last 14 days will

be allowed to run," he explained. "We had one posi-

tive test today."

With the track's signature race, the $800,000 Sun-

land Derby (gr. III), slated for March 20, officials hope

to eradicate the virus in time to run the prep and to

allow shippers in to compete. BH

DYNAMIC CAREER FOR MEDAGLIA D'ORO

Medaglia d'Oro had a stellar Feb. 6. His

6-year-old sons Mshawish and Valid ran

one-two in the Donn (gr. I), and his undefeated

champion 2-year-old Songbird reappeared to

take the Las Virgenes (gr. II).

Those wins propelled Medaglia d'Oro into sec-

ond place behind Tapit on the 2016 leading sires

table, the pair having occupied the same positions

in 2015.

Bidding for his own sire

championship, Medaglia

d'Oro has been a major

factor in awarding the

title—he was the leading

earner for his sire El Prado

(Sadler's Wells) when he

wore the crown. Without

doubt the ascendency of

the European turf runner

El Prado's line has been a

notable development in

U.S. bloodstock; in addition

to the success of Medaglia

d'Oro, El Prado's son Kit-

ten's Joy took the 2013 title.

Despite El Prado's

success and Medaglia d'Oro's quality as a run-

ner—underlined by victories in the Travers (gr. I),

Whitney (gr. I) and Donn, as well as seconds in the

Belmont (gr. I), Breeders' Cup Classic (gr. I) twice,

and Dubai World Cup (UAE-I)—there were a few

questions when he retired to stud. He was late

to mature, coming good from the summer of his

3-year-old career; his first three dams were by

Bailjumper, Silent Screen and Restless Wind, none

of whom resonated positively in the pedigree of

stallion prospects; and the female line was a few

generations removed from the highest class.

Of course, the record shows Medaglia d'Oro

was successful from the start: eight graded

stakes winners in his first crop, headed by Horse

of the Year Rachel Alexandra. What's interesting,

however, in reflecting Medaglia d'Oro's career, is

that while class has remained constant, in other

ways his record has been extremely dynamic,

very much reflecting the mares he has been

sent and they way in which his offspring have

been handled.

He gained a reputation as a "filly sire" after his

first three crops produced 13 graded stakes-win-

ning fillies, against four colts. However, following

what may have been an adjustment in the type

of mares sent to Medaglia

d'Oro, the colts have out-

scored the fillies at graded

level in recent years.

Similarly, while initially

the dirt runners among

Medaglia d'Oro's offspring

had the edge, every graded

scorer from his 2011 and

2012 crops earned that

distinction on turf (although

considering how well

Mshawish has handled the

turf to dirt transition, one

wonders if more dirt per-

formers are lurking there).

He also seemed a horse

whose offspring need-

ed time—until recently. The mating with a fast

Danehill mare produced Vancouver, undefeated

champion 2-year-old in Australia for 2014-15, and

Songbird was hot on Vancouver's heels as their

sire's first champion juvenile in the U.S. BH
