    • After Golden Gate Fields ran its last race on June 9, 2024, there was plenty of business that still had to be dealt with, and it went beyond the mundane tasks of selling such items as the pots and pans used by the kitchen staff. According to conventional wisdom, two of the best horses ever to race at the Northern California track, Lost in the Fog and Silky Sullivan, were buried in the infield. Wanting to do the right thing, the track's owner, The Stronach Group (TSG), tasked Golden Gate management with finding their remains so they could be exhumed and sent to what would be an appropriate resting spot. The Lost in the Fog case was cleared up quickly. Following his death in 2006 from cancer, he had not, in fact, been buried in the infield. “We were very quickly able to establish that Lost in Fog was not buried at Golden Gate Fields,” said track COO David Duggan. “We spoke to Greg Gilchrist, who trained the great Lost in the Fog and Lost in the Fog's ashes are in the company Greg Gilchrist as we speak. They are in a wooden urn with the colors of his owner, Harry Aleo, on them. That eliminated Lost in the Fog immediately from our inquiries.” But what about Silky Sullivan? Where had his remains gone? There was never a horse quite like him. He didn't get geared up to run until a half-mile or more of the race had been run. By that time he was so far back that the idea of his winning seemed impossible. He would drop back as many as 30 lengths. But his weapon was his devastating late kick. He charged from 28 lengths off the pace to win the 1958 Santa Anita Derby going away. The Kentucky Derby was the next stop but he spun his wheels over a wet track and finished twelfth. He won 12 of 27 career starts, hardly the stuff of a superstar, but he may have been the most popular horse of his times because so many people identified with how he'd dig a hole for himself, never gave up and so often prevailed. In another race, on Feb. 25, 1958, he came from 41 lengths behind to win a 6 1∕2-furlong allowance race by a half-length. In 1959, during his 4-year-old season, he was retired. When Kjell Qvale, a Norwegian-American business executive and a horse owner, heard that Silky Sullivan's owners were looking for a home for their late-running star, Qvale stepped in and bought him, even though his racing days were over. He had a very brief and unsuccessful stud career. Even in retirement, Silky Sullivan remained immensely popular. After his retirement, Qvale would parade him every year at Golden Gate Fields on St. Patrick's Day and every year at Santa Anita on Santa Anita Derby Day. In 1977, at age 22, Silky Sullivan died of an apparent heart attack at Qvale's farm in Pleasanton, California. It was a huge story in newspapers all across the country, which reported not only on his death but that he was “probably” going to be buried in the infield at Golden Gate Fields. Even Wikipedia, to this day, reports that both Silky Sullivan and Lost in the Fog were buried in the infield at Golden Gate. But while there were literally hundreds of newspapers stories regarding his death, one cannot find even one that covered his burial at Golden Gate or a picture of his remains being lowered into the ground. That's probably because it never happened. But Duggan at first believed that Silky Sullivan was in fact buried in the infield. He had read it enough times and heard it enough times that he came to believe that it had to be true. The last thing Duggan and his management team wanted was to leave behind the remains of one of the most beloved horses ever to run at Golden Gate only to have it covered by a housing development. “Our idea then was that we would exhume Silky Sullivan,” he said. “I hate to say it this way because it may not come across well, but we wanted to pack him in a designated box and send him on a journey to Old Friends in Kentucky. They had agreed to take his remains.” Duggan had no idea how difficult and cumbersome the task would become. Legend had it that the horse was buried behind a picket fence in the infield. But he wasn't there, or any place else the Golden Gate team looked. After the track closed, some companies and some government agencies, including the FBI, asked if they could hold training exercises at the track until it was bulldozed over. That the FBI was coming was perfect. One of the units it sent was its Evidence Response Team (ERT). Part of its job is to work on cold cases and to exhume bodies that perhaps normal law enforcement agencies couldn't find because they didn't have the resources. If anybody could find Silky Sullivan, it was the FBI. They found nothing. “The ERT team searched a particular area which was within the vicinity where we thought Silky Sullivan was and they used the most cutting-edge technology that they have at their disposal, which is significant,” Duggan said. “One of the main things they used was ground-penetrating radar and we've all heard that term used in terms of racetracks and racing surfaces. And they utilized other scientific means which they would use in what you would call a cold case.” After the FBI couldn't find anything, Duggan became convinced that Silky Sullivan had never been buried in the track's infield. It wasn't just that the FBI, with all its resources, couldn't find him, it was that there was no credible evidence to prove that he had been buried there. Certainly, newspapers and photographers would have covered the ceremonies, but there are no records of any such coverage. Nor could Duggan find anyone who would come forward and say they remember his remains being lowered into the ground. “One of the things about a racetrack is everybody knows everybody's business and everybody knows what's going on,” he said. “You couldn't keep a secret here to save your life. And no one would step forward and say, 'Yes, he is there. I remember when they buried him.'” Duggan said the search has ended but he is confident that The Stronach Group did everything it could to try to find Silky Sullivan. “We were generally interested,” he said. “We wanted to do the right thing. It was 100% our intention to find him and relocate him. It is my professional opinion that we exhausted every potential avenue using the best experts out there only hoping to confirm that he was there. We were not able to do so.” So what did happen to him? The one person who might have been able to provide the answer is Qvale, who died in 2013 at the age of 94. One theory that has made the rounds is that he was buried on Qvale's farm. Duggan was unable to track down any relatives of Qvale's who could help him find some answers. “At this point, it's part of racing folklore,” Duggan said. “When I came here in 2017, there was no plaque, there was nothing to commemorate that event. There was no photographic evidence to commemorate that event. There was nothing in any newspapers that specified for sure that he was there. There was the supposition that he was there, but that's all it was, a supposition. It shows you how important he was to people and he was important to us. He obviously had such a unique style and the way he won the Santa Anita Derby was remarkable. As a company, it was very important to us to locate him and get him back to Old Friends. We just weren't able to do it.” The post Whatever Happened to Silky Sullivan’s Remains? The Mystery May Never Be Solved appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions. View the full article
    • Gun mare Belclare (NZ) (Per Incanto) has had plenty of success raiding the northern riches at Ellerslie and she’ll be back to do just that on Saturday, taking on the Gr.1 Sport Nation Otaki-Maori WFA Classic (1600m). A two-time winner of the Gr.1 New Zealand Thoroughbred Breeders’ Stakes (1600m), Belclare spent the first half of the season in Sydney with Bjorn Baker, adding a pair of Group Twos and over A$1 million in earnings to her already dazzling Kiwi record. Returning to the care of Lisa Latta, the Per Incanto mare attempted a defence of her Gr.2 Westbury Classic (1400m) crown on Karaka Millions night but faded after a tough trip three-wide, a result her trainer is happy to forgive. “She had a really tough run, she was caught three-wide with no cover and I think that effort told,” she said. The soft conditions at Ellerslie were not in Belclare’s favour on that occasion, but after pleasing Latta in the lead-up, a firm track should bring her back into contention, with the TAB market currently placing her a fourth-favourite at $10. “Ellerslie suits her when it’s really firm, which it wasn’t on Karaka Millions Night, but the forecast looks good for this weekend,” Latta said. “She had a few days in the paddock and come back, she’s been for a trip to Otaki for a gallop and I’m really happy with her. She looks great.” Latta confirmed that, all going well on Saturday, the seven-year-old will return to defend her title and chase a three-peat in the Breeders’ on Champions Day. The Awapuni horsewoman will have a busy week with more than a dozen runners lining up at Wanganui and Otaki, with the latter featuring talented mare Belle’s Echo (NZ) (Echoes Of Heaven) in the Open 1200m. A winner of five, Belle’s Echo impressed winning first-up and continued that form into third at the Wellington Cup meeting, before disappointing on the back-up over 1400m. “We gave her a week off, it was a really disappointing run and I just don’t think she backed up, which she’s done once before,” Latta said. “We’re going in here a bit on the fresher side.” Stable stalwart Lincoln Star (NZ) (Savabeel) and Group One winner He’s A Doozy had both been nominated for the open mile, but the latter may be seen further south next Saturday, with Latta considering a bid at the Gr.3 White Robe Lodge WFA (1600m). “He’s A Doozy probably won’t run, he’ll more likely head down to Wingatui for the weight-for-age,” she said. “We’ll work him tomorrow morning and make a final decision. “Lincoln Star has done plenty of work, but it’s probably a bit short of his best on Saturday.” The colours of Belclare will also be represented in the South Island, with her full-brother Ardroe (NZ) (Per Incanto) travelling to Ashburton on Sunday to contest the Scenic Hotel Group (1200m). “He’s gone down this morning, he’s just going down for the run at this stage,” Latta said. “There’s just a lack of suitable races up here and he suits those shorter courses well.” Meanwhile, Latta’s talented three-year-old filly Connello (NZ) (Time Test) is on track for a shot at the $1 million Gr.1 Al Basti Equiworld Dubai New Zealand Oaks (2400m) in a month’s time. Connello has been a model of consistency, only falling short to Oaks favourite Leica Lucy (NZ) (Derryn) in the Gr.3 Eulogy Stakes (1600m) and Gr.3 Desert Gold Stakes (1600m), while recording the fastest closing sectionals in the latter. “She’s a very easy and clean-winded filly, she’ll go to the Lowland (Gr.2, 2100m) and then on to the Oaks, all going well,” Latta said.

    • Group One performer Qali Al Farrasha (NZ) (Almanzor) will be out to shed her bridesmaid tag when she heads to Ellerslie on Saturday, but she will face a stiff task against a quality line-up in the Gr.1 Sport Nation Otaki-Maori WFA Classic (1600m).  The homebred daughter of Almanzor has been a model of consistency for Te Akau Racing, winning two and placing in eight of her 12 starts, earning more than $260,000 in prizemoney to date.  She has finished runner-up in her last three outings, including the Gr.1 Thorndon Mile (1600m) and Gr.3 Counties Cup (2100m), and also boasts placings in the Gr.1 New Zealand Oaks (2400m) and Gr.3 Sunline Vase (2100m).  She will be searching for an elusive stakes success this week, but will be met by some fierce competition, with five Group One winners set to tackle the Ellerslie feature, including course specialist and in-form gelding El Vencedor (NZ) (Shocking).  “We earmarked this race because we thought we would skip the big guns but unfortunately there is Orchestral (NZ) (Savabeel) and El Vencedor, it is a quality field,” said Sam Bergerson, who trains the mare in partnership with Mark Walker.  “She is probably going to have to lift to win it off her previous runs, but she deserves the opportunity.  “She was really good in the Group One and just missed last time against Provence (NZ) (Savabeel) down in Wellington. She has freshened well, had a really nice exhibition gallop between races at Te Aroha a week ago and her work was good on Tuesday morning.”  Stablemate, and former Australian galloper, Midnight Blue has acclimatised well to the New Zealand way of life, which was evident in his last two runner-up performances, including the Gr.3 Taranaki Cup (1800m) at New Plymouth earlier this month.  He will look to go one better on Saturday in the Gr.3 Eagle Technology Avondale Cup (2400m), and the son of So You Think is already well-acquainted with Ellerslie, having finished fourth in the Gr.3 Great Northern Challenge Stakes (1600m) at the Auckland track in his New Zealand debut last November.   “He is going well and seems to be really enjoying the New Zealand lifestyle,” Bergerson said. “He is doing really well over here and looks super.   “He has gone on from the Taranaki Cup and is back up to 2400m, a distance he won the Perth Cup (Gr.2, 2400m) a couple of years ago, so he is proven at the trip.  “He has to lug a bit of weight (58kg), which is the concern, but we are really pleased with him and he goes in in good form.”  Stablemate Hakkinen (NZ) (Savabeel) will be looking to stamp his $1.25 million Gr.1 Trackside New Zealand Derby (2400m) credentials when he contests the Gr.2 Eagle Technology Avondale Guineas (2100m).  Another Te Akau homebred, Bergerson has been pleased with his progression since his fourth placing in the Listed Gingernuts Salver (2100m) at Ellerslie last month and is hoping he can secure a berth into the Derby with a strong performance this weekend.  “He is a galloper that has got plenty of upside and we think he is coming in with the right prep, he seems a natural stayer to us,” Bergerson said.  “He is fit and well here at home. I thought he trialled really well at Ellerslie with the blinkers on, which go on Saturday. We think he is heading in the right direction and hopefully onto the Derby.   “He would need to run well there on Saturday, but he seems in really good form and his work was good on Tuesday morning.   “It is a very good field, and the favourite (Willydoit) (NZ) (Tarzino) looks very hard to beat and all things being equal, he is probably going to be the winner, but we can think our fella can give it a real shake.”  Across the Tasman, Te Akau will also be shooting for stakes success at Caulfield on Saturday.  Group One winner Quintessa (NZ) (Shamus Award) will be looking to return to form in the Gr.3 Mannerism Stakes (1400m), while Group Three performer Sans Doute will get her first crack at elite-level in the Gr.1 Oakleigh Plate (1100m).

Michael Dee elected to take all luck out of the equation from stall eight on Saturday, gliding forward to sit outside the leader throughout the 1400m contest. It turned out to be a winning move in the end, as Wrote To Arataki ($12.00) proved to be the only other speed influence in the race, allowing the daughter of Russian Revolution to gain the upper hand in the concluding stages. There was a late surge by the Ciaron Maher-trained Running By ($5.50) and well-supported Vagrant ($3.90) in the final 200m, but the race was already over, with Revolutionary Miss already off and gone with the prize. 2023: Espiona overcomes rivals Jye McNeil and Chris Waller combined with Espiona to take out the Group 3 Mannerism Stakes over 1400m at Sandown, beating a very game Toregene by just over a length on the line. Waller made the decision to bring his Extreme Choice mare back to Victoria where she had produced some of her best performances and it has worked, with Espiona returning to the winners circle for the first time since April of 2022. Turaath set a solid tempo out in front, with Pride Of Jenni and Barb Raider following the leader, giving the eventual winner and runner-up a decent cart into the race as the field rounded the home turn. 2022: Flying Mascot salutes Flying Mascot showcased her class with a commanding victory in the Group 3 Mannerism Stakes at Caulfield. Settling just off the pace under jockey Blaike McDougall, the Tom Dabernig-trained mare surged past her rivals in the straight, delivering a powerful finish to score comfortably. Her turn of foot and composure highlighted her talent, confirming her status as a rising star in mares’ company. This win added to her growing record and hinted at even bigger successes ahead.

    • Sans Doute. Photo: Bruno Cannatelli Liam Riordan’s strong ties with Te Akau Racing and assistant trainer Ben Gleeson have secured him a valuable Group 1 Oakleigh Plate (1100m) ride aboard Sans Doute at Caulfield on Saturday. Riordan’s ability to ride at a light weight proved pivotal, with Sans Doute carrying just 52 kilograms in the feature sprint. After guiding the mare through an impressive gallop at Caulfield on Tuesday, Riordan expressed his confidence in her chances. “I’ve had a couple of Group 1 rides, but this is my first real live chance,” Riordan said. “Her first-up record is strong, and her work this morning gives me great confidence.” Riordan developed a close relationship with Gleeson during his time at Danny O’Brien’s Flemington stable and hopes a bold showing on Saturday will open the door to more top-level rides. “There was no pressure in my other Group 1 rides, but Saturday will be different – I expect her to run really well,” he said. “She’s got a great turn of foot and thrives first-up on firm tracks. The team think she’s moving better than ever. “By doing the weight on Saturday, hopefully it can put me in the mix for riding a lot of lightweight horses going forward, and if we can get a result, that would be even sweeter.” Horse racing news View the full article
