    • I didn't think that interview showed him in a very good light.

    • Arctic Beast (Yaupon) became the day's second new stakes winner for his first-crop sire (by Uncle Mo) with a dominating display in the Aspirant Stakes, winning in a time nearly two seconds quicker than the fillies went in the Lady Finger Stakes about 30 minutes earlier. Off at 1-5 having graduated with a lofty 82 Beyer Speed Figure at Saratoga Aug. 15, the $120,000 Fasig-Tipton Saratoga Mixed Sale weanling turned $275,000 Fasig-Tipton New York-Bred yearling was put right into play from the outside stall and pressed the early pace through an opening quarter in :22.31 over the rain-affected going. Outmoved into the stretch by the front-running Diamond Child (Weekend Hideaway), Arctic Beast leveled off beautifully when asked and shot away to score as much the best. The win gave trainer Mike Maker and jockey Ricardo Santana, Jr. a sweep of the day's open juvenile contests. A fourth black-type winner overall after Yaupon de Replay took out the Listed Blenheim Stakes on debut at Fairyhouse in Ireland, Arctic Beast is the lone winner for his dam, a close relative of the dual stakes-winning Freudie Anne (Freud). He is the last listed produce for Frostie Anne. Click for the Equibase.com chart.

    • I don't think it is the addition of slot and sales races that have made the Oaks less relevant.  It is more the lack of regional patterns that give mulitiple pathways to the Oaks.  All roads seem to lead to the KM or Slot races and that makes it hard for horses that are not eligible for those races.  Also that bias means that most horses outside of the Waikato have to travel to pick up rating points and find suitable races.
