A very live 5-2 chance from a 9-2 morning line, Mike and Katherine Ball homebred CHIEF WALLABEE (c, 3, Constitution–A La Lucie, by Medaglia d'Oro) traveled into the race strongly approaching the stretch and pounced on favored The Puma (Essential Quality) with just under a furlong to travel and proved a very impressive winner of what appeared to be a very hot Gulfstream maiden Saturday afternoon. The effort makes him the newest 'TDN Rising Star' presented by Hagyard. Having hinted at considerable ability in his morning trials, including a bullet half-mile over the testing surface at Payson Park in :48 1/5 (1/48) Jan. 4, Chief Wallabee settled in about fifth position through the opening exchanges of the seven-furlong contest as a four-way battle for the lead ensued on the pointy end. The Puma, off to an awkward beginning from gate five–one to the inside of Chief Wallabee–was hustled up into contention by Javier Castellano for the Mage connections, but as a result of the slow start, he had no choice but to go wide and took the worst of it four deep around the turn. In the meantime, Chief Wallabee was following the move of Nanosecond (Into Mischief) on the swing for home and had first crack at The Puma, who was handled with supreme confidence. In front approaching the eighth pole, The Puma was ultimately no match for Chief Wallabee, who descended on the leader quickly with 150 yards to race and was taken in hand under the wire, scoring by about 2 1/2 lengths. Chief Wallabee is the second 'Rising Star' in three days for Constitution, whose 3-year-old son Touch of Fire won his maiden by seven convincing lengths (81 Beyer) over the Fair Grounds turf course on Thursday. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0. O/B-Mike and Katherine Ball (KY); T-Bill Mott.

The champion freshman and general sire Distorted Humor was euthanized Saturday morning at the age of 33 due to the infirmaries of old age, WinStar Farm announced via press release. A 1993 son of champion Forty Niner out of Danzig's Beauty, by Danzig, Distorted Humor was an accomplished racehorse. Bred in Kentucky by Charles Nuckols Jr. and Sons and owned by R.L. Reineman and Prestonwood Farms and trained by Walden, Distorted Humor won the 1998 GII Commonwealth Breeders' Cup Stakes at Keeneland. He set a track record in the race, getting seven furlongs in 1:20.50, a mark that stood until 2020. He also captured the GII Churchill Downs Handicap, the GIII Ack Ack Handicap, and the GIII Salvator Mile Handicap, amassing earnings of $769,964. A perennial leading sire, Distorted Humor entered stud in 1999. He topped all freshman sires in 2002, and he was North America's leading general sire in 2011, the same year, his son and leading earner, Drosselmeyer ($3,728,170) captured the GI Breeders' Cup Classic for WinStar. Drosselmeyer was also a Classic winner, having won the 2010 GI Belmont Stakes. In 2003, Distorted Humor's Funny Cide, bred by WinStar and campaigned by Sackatoga Stable, won the GI Kentucky Derby and the GI Preakness Stakes on his way to a career bankroll of $3,529,412. Distorted Humor is the sire of four champions–Funny Cide, Eclipse champion 3-Year-Old colt; Pathfork, champion 2-Year-Old colt in Ireland; Regal Ransom, champion 3-Year-Old colt in the United Arab Emirates; and Ontario-bred Hillaby, champion female sprinter in Canada. Distorted Humor helped WinStar scale new heights as a breeding operation. From 23 crops, the stallion sired an impressive 167 black-type winners, 72 graded stakes winners, and his runners have amassed earnings approaching $170 million. Counted among his top runners are Grade I winners Drosselmeyer, Funny Cide, Commentator, Any Given Saturday, Flower Alley, Hystericalady, Boisterous, Awesome Humor, and so many others. The late WinStar sire was also an influential broodmare sire. He is responsible for such outstanding horses as North America's all-time leading earner Arrogate ($17,422,600), international star Golden Sixty (Aus), last year's GI Florida Derby winner Tappan Street, Elate, Practical Joke, New Money Honey, as well as WinStar stallions Constitution, Life Is Good, and Patch Adams, and was the leading broodmare sire of 2017. “It's a deeply sad day for all of us at WinStar Farm to lose a generational sire like Distorted Humor,” said Elliott Walden, president, CEO, and racing manager of WinStar. “We take solace in the legacy he leaves behind. His sons and daughters have won on the biggest stages, and his daughters are proving to be exceptional producers. His impact on the breed is undeniable and will be felt for generations to come.” The post Distorted Humor Euthanized at 33 Due to Infirmaries of Old Age appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
