GI Kentucky Derby winner Country House (Lookin At Lucky) will get at least two months off from training and as a result is likely to miss the rest of his 3-year-old season, trainer Bill Mott said Saturday night. The news came in an interview with Jerry Bailey on NBC Sports’ live telecast of the GII Stephen Foster H. card at Churchill Downs and confirmed what Mott told reporters earlier in the evening. There to saddle GII Fleur de Lis H. victress Elate (Medaglia d’Oro) as well as receive his engraved Kentucky Derby trophy, Mott said that Country House, who missed the GI Preakness S. and GI Belmont S. with an infection, had not responded well to his return to full training. “He just wasn’t as eager to get into his training as he had been,” Mott said early in the evening in a clip posted on Twitter by Paulick Report. “We just felt like he wasn’t moving as well as he should be. We had him checked out again, and I think the determination is that we probably need to give him more time. Right now, we’d have trouble making the Travers or the Breeders’ Cup, and I don’t believe we’d be able to get him back to the races in as good a shape right now as what we would have to have him to run at that very top level. To give him a fair chance and bring him back as a 4-year-old, we’re going to give him a little extra time.” Named a ‘TDN Rising Star’ after a scintillating last-to-first maiden win Jan. 17 at Gulfstream, Country House was runner-up to eventual Preakness winner War of Will (War Front) in the GII Risen Star S., fourth in the GII Louisiana Derby and third in the GI Arkansas Derby. Promoted to first at 65-1 in a controversial decision in the Derby, the chestnut was quickly ruled out of Preakness consideration with a fever. He had returned to the track in recent weeks and shipped to Saratoga to point towards the summer 3-year-old stakes before this latest development.

From Johnny Murtagh ‘riding’ Joey the War Horse, to the first of Frankel’s offspring to be offered at auction, to a Classic winner going under the hammer, and the explosive sales debut of the late Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha, the Goffs London Sale has certainly never lacked interest. To some, it offers the perfect way to kick off Royal Ascot week, with a glass or two of delicious Chateau Léoube rosé in the gardens of Kensington Palace, while for a handful of vendors and buyers it is more serious business. In the five year since its launch, the sale has turned over £24.5 million for 112 horses sold. Yes, it’s select—this type of boutique sale always is, and the price has to be right for an owner to part company with a Royal Ascot runner on the eve of the year’s most prestigious meeting—but it’s also innovative. It’s also a venture of which the Goffs team, in its partnership with QIPCO, should be proud. So what’s in store this year at the auction rightly dubbed ‘the sale like no other’? With the early days of the breeze-up horses sensibly left to those specialist auctions, the London Sale catalogue now focuses mostly on its unique selling point of horses with entries this week at Ascot. This time around, 14 of the 23 lots have confirmed engagements at the Royal meeting. They include Cromwell Bloodstock’s Maven (lot 22), the first winner in the U.S. for the Triple Crown hero American Pharoah, who is entered for the G2 Norfolk S., and is one of eight likely runners for Wesley Ward at Ascot. On Thursday, Maven is likely to face the dual French winner Real Appeal (Ger), by another first-season sire, Sidestep (Aus), and offered as lot 8 by Con Marnane’s Bansha House Stables, which consigns another dual winner, the filly Brand New Day (Ire) (Epaulette {Aus}) (lot 12), who heads for the G2 Queen Mary S. The David Evans-trained Ivatheengine (Ire) (Ivawood {GB}) has some strong form behind listed National S. winner Flippa The Strippa (GB) (Outstrip {GB}) and as a subsequent winner in his own right, and he features as lot 13 with an entry for the Windsor Castle S. tomorrow. Michael O’Callaghan consigns two recent Irish winners—the 2-year-old filly Isabeau (Ire) (Cable Bay {Ire}), who has two Royal Ascot entries and is lot 20, and her fellow juvenile Red Epaulette (Ire) (Epaulette {Aus}), who struck on the opening day of the Irish Flat season and follows his stable-mate in the catalogue as lot 21 with a Windsor Castle S. entry. Among the horses in training who are not Ascot-bound but one who looks to have the potential to be of interest to those racing in farther-flung places is Le Don De Vie (GB). One of two winners at Epsom on Derby day for the late Leroidesanimaux (BRZ), the 3-year-old has won both his starts this year for Mick and Janice Mariscotti and looks to have all the hallmarks of a typical Andrew Balding improver. The gelding from the family of the high-class middle-distance filly Lady Marian (Ger) (Nayef) will sell as lot 18. French sprinter Sestilio Jet (Fr) (French Fifteen {Fr}) arguably has the bragging rights on recent form. The Andreas Marcialis-trained 4-year-old, lot 14, recently landed the G3 Prix de Saint-Georges among his eight wins, as well as finishing runner-up in the G2 Prix du Gros-Chene a fortnight ago, while another with recent stakes form to her name is the final horse of the sale, Pure Zen (Fr) (Zoffany Ire}) (lot 23), who was a listed winner last year and was narrowly beaten in the G2 Prix de Sandringham at Chantilly. Of course, the London Sale, has always thrived on variety and while Crystal Gaze (GB) (Rainbow Quest) and her Frankel (GB) colt missed out on the top spot at the inaugural sale when sold for £1.15 million to MV Magnier, broodmares have topped two of the five sales to date. First of the three select mares on offer this evening is South African champion 3-year-old filly Just Sensual (SAf), who is consigned by the National Stud as lot 7. The daughter of Dynasty (SAf) is now six and is in foal for the first time to Frankel (GB). Not only was she a champion on the track but so was her dam, the top-rated 2-year-old Consensual (SAf) (Camden Park). New England Stud offers lot 11, 4-year-old Murasaki (GB), a daughter of Dubawi (Ire) and G2 Ribblesdale S. winner Michita (Dynaformer) who is in foal to Invincible Spirit (Ire), while Barton Stud sends Simsimah (Ire) (Poet’s Voice {GB}), a half-sister to Derby runner-up Madhmoon (Ire) (Dawn Approach {Ire}). She is the sole mare with a foal at foot—a filly by Divine Prophet (Aus)—and she is in foal to Juddmonte’s Expert Eye (GB). The sale gets underway at 5pm.

They went slow and finished in a bunch at the end of Sunday’s G1 Prix de Diane Longines at Chantilly, but Samuel de Barros’s Channel (Ire) (Nathaniel {Ire}) was in the right place throughout to pull off a minor upset at 9-1. Always handily placed by Pierre-Charles Boudot tracking the leading pair Platane (GB) (Le Havre {Ire}) and Wonderment (Ire) (Camelot {GB}), the May 17 course-and-distance conditions winner was sent to the front with two furlongs remaining and gamely saw off the G1 Poule d’Essai des Pouliches runner-up Commes (Fr) (Le Havre {Ire}) to prevail by a head, with Grand Glory (GB) (Olympic Glory {Ire}) the best closer a half length away in third. ‘TDN Rising Star’ and 6-4 favourite Siyarafina (Fr) (Pivotal {GB}) held every chance but could only finish sixth with possibly stamina the main issue.

Horse deaths in U.S. racing. Poor prize money in the UK. Declining attendances in Ireland. Finding good news in horse racing globally right now is like getting lightning in a bottle. Our sport needs a stiff drink. The solution might be whiskey in the jar. In the same way that horse racing once dominated the sporting landscape, Irish whiskey was once the most popular spirit in the world. But, suddenly within years, as Scottish whisky (scotch) flourished, Irish whiskey lost its main customers–America due to Prohibition and Britain due to the Irish War of Independence. David Redvers warning this week that racing may be ‘teetering on the edge of oblivion’ due to failure to diversify racehorse ownership could have also been applied to Irish distillers’ failure to diversify a century ago. Even as Ireland gained its independence and Prohibition ended, Irish distillers’ failure to adapt to changing tastes provided by Scotch saw further decline and what was once the once most popular spirit in the world found itself with only three indigenous distilleries left on the island of Ireland–a proud national export success story on the brink of extinction. But if horse racing is looking for a comeback to copy, as the old Irish saying goes “what whiskey will not cure, there is no cure for.” A remarkable turnaround was embarked upon by visionary individuals who optimistically believed in the quality of their national product. The three distillers still left, John Jameson & Sons, John Power & Sons and Cork Distilleries Company, decided to merge to form Irish Distillers. The first new, independent producer, Cooley Distillery, opened in 1987 and French distiller Pernod Ricard put its weight behind Jameson after buying out Irish Distillers in 1988. Suddenly a trickle turned into a flood. Today, Irish whiskey is the fastest growing premium spirit in the world with sales growing at more than 10% a year in more than 75 countries, quadrupling its global market share in 10 years. With 18 distilleries now in Ireland and 16 more about to be built the success story is set to continue for years to come. So, what can horse racing learn from this remarkable resurgence? The growth of Irish whiskey–an experience echoed by flourishing bourbon (American whiskey) in Kentucky–has been fuelled by a cocktail of three simple ingredients: a focus on the heritage of the product, making craftsmanship central to its offering and a splash of modern marketing. Irish whiskey, like horse racing, is a national heritage product. People are captivated by Irish whiskey as a quality local product that gives them a dash of Ireland. Teelings Whiskey have copyrighted ‘Spirit of Dublin’ as their trademark making a sense of place central to their emergence as the first new distillery in Dublin in 150 years. In contrast, there is perhaps no richer sporting event in history on the planet then the Epsom Derby and yet this year to many it felt as an afterthought under the overwhelming shadow of an imminent Champions League final. While Epsom remains a wonderful occasion, it has lost something with the move away from London’s big mid-week day out and the heaving hill. Royal Ascot to their credit understands the importance of their heritage. Royal Ascot has embraced the pomp and pageantry of the week with its slogan “like nowhere else” and positioned itself as the one of definitive events of the wider historical tapestry of the British sporting summer social calendar. Tradition has allowed Royal Ascot flourish further, notwithstanding the challenge of the London leisure market. Irish whiskey understands that selling a whiskey is about bottling its mystique. Horse racing needs to better present its own mystique to the world. Imagine how fascinated the world would be by the sport if they better understood that Galileo has been champion sire 10 times thanks to his incredibly dominant genes? Or how a day on the gallops at Newmarket Heath is the same unchanged experience as that which has been enjoyed by horsemen and women for centuries? Or how, since its inception in 1875, the Kentucky Derby is the unwavering goal of every one of the 10,000 colt foals born each year in North America? Bring that to life and as whiskey acutely knows, the effect can be intoxicating. The experience is central to Irish whiskey’s success. A journey to an Irish distillery such as the Pearse Lyons Distillery or the Jameson Distillery in Dublin is a trip to a world of pedigree, process, and patience. You learn about the craftmanship, time and dedication as years of experience are poured into trying to achieve the best possible whiskey. The same values have applied to horse racing for centuries and yet we struggle to articulate it ourselves to a wider audience. Millennials want authenticity as they encounter brands and an exciting origin story for the product they want to associate themselves with. It’s why Liverpool or Barcelona still capture the hearts of many ahead of Paris-St Germain or Manchester City. In Fethard, as usual, they are ahead of the pack. The Fethard Horse Country Experience is an interactive exhibition which aims to showcase the link between the people, the land and the horse in the surrounding area. We need to get behind efforts like this and the new Irish Racehorse Experience being developed at the Irish National Stud and seek out every possible opportunity to bring that passion for our product into the public consciousness. Irish whiskey isn’t afraid of some unashamed modern marketing either. While Mixed Martial Arts athlete Conor McGregor as a person has his detractors, his success in promoting his Proper Twelve Irish whiskey is illustrative of marketing that racing could learn from. In contrast to his fleeting campaign for the Pegasus World Cup, McGregor embodies the whiskey daily–posting incessantly on social media, drinking it in press conferences and making the brand an extension of himself. You are left in no doubt McGregor is part of each bottle of whiskey and that this is not just another endorsement. It might allegedly be a well-known brand repackaged but you feel part of McGregor’s world, if even for a moment and that’s what consumers want to buy and buy big. Proper Twelve generated $1 billion in sales in its first year. A cloistered industry where trainers and jockeys are reluctant to give media appearances cannot be tolerated for the future of the sport. Racing is on the shelf of life’s choices, we need more people encouraged to reach out and drink it in. The rise and fall of Irish whiskey shows the story isn’t closed when it comes to a formerly world-leading industry no matter how bruised and battered it becomes. When you have a product that you know has been loved before it can be loved again by the masses. Horse racing needs to focus on what it does best–a pride in nurturing the next champion through generations, bringing that mystical experience to life in the vivid colour of a race day and, it’s hoped, being unafraid to innovate and push boundaries to entrust the sport to the next generation. Whiskey shows that a focus on what makes something great combined with a dash of entrepreneurial flair can make a remarkable resurgence possible for any heritage product. But please, if it happens in our game, don’t forget to drink in moderation.

HARD LEGACY (f, 3, Hard Spun–Stone Legacy, by Birdstone) provided her young conditioner Norm Casse with his first graded score in the GIII Regret S. beneath the Twin Spires. Seizing the early advantage, the 5-1 shot coasted along through splits of :23.62 and :48.06 with stakes winner Winter Sunset (Tapit) in tow. The bay kept on finding in the lane, easily holding that one at bay to score in a final time of 1:48.22. Romping by seven lengths on debut over a yielding course at Keeneland in October, Hard Legacy captured a Gulfstream optional claimer Dec. 23 and was fifth in that venue’s GIII Sweetest Chant S. Feb. 3. She was fourth last time in Keeneland’s GIII Appalachian S. over soft going Apr. 7. Lifetime Record: 5-3-0-0. O/B-Marylou Whitney Stables LLC (KY); T-Norm Casse.

SEEKING THE SOUL (h, 6, Perfect Soul {Ire}–Seeking the Title, by Seeking the Gold) made his trademark late rally, getting up just in time to take the GII Stephen Foster H., a “Win and You’re In” test for the GI Breeders’ Cup Classic. The bay raced off the fence in mid-pack as Quip (Distorted Humor) and Tom’s d’Etat (Smart Strike) battled through a first half in :49.43. Tipped out three wide in the lane, he found another gear late, surging by the top two to score. A determined Quip tried to run with Seeking the Soul in the final sixteenth, but came up just a tiny bit shy at the wire. Victor of this venue’s 2017 GI Clark H., Seeking the Soul captured the GIII Ack Ack S. here in September and was second to City of Light (Quality Road) in the GI Breeders’ Cup Dirt Mile at this venue Nov. 3. Completing the trifecta in this year’s Clark 20 days later, he was second to another dominant performance from City of Light in the GI Pegasus World Cup Invitational S. Jan. 26. Eighth when shipping to Meydan for the G1 Dubai World Cup Mar. 30, the 6-year-old was third last time to McKinzie (Street Sense) in the GII Alysheba S. on Derby day. Lifetime Record: 27-7-6-7.

‘TDN Rising Star’ ELATE (m, 5, Medaglia d’Oro–Cheery, by Distorted Humor) returned to winning ways at Churchill Downs Saturday evening, closing powerfully to take the GII Fleur de Lis H., a “Win and You’re In” event for the GI Breeders’ Cup Distaff. Hammered down to 4-5 in this spot, saved ground in a joint third as 29-1 shot Skeptic (Tiznow) loped along through leisurely early splits. Tipped out three wide in the lane, the bay mowed down her rivals to win by a length. A two-time Grade I winner during her sophomore campaign, she made just two starts last term, winning her seasonal bow in the GII Delaware H. and finishing a close second to champion Abel Tasman (Quality Road) after a stretch duel in the GI Personal Ensign S. in August. With that arch rival retiring this year, Elate has found a new nemesis in Midnight Bisou (Midnight Lute), who she ran second behind in the Mar. 16 GII Azeri S. and third to in the Apr. 14 GI Apple Blossom H. That foe captured last weekend’s GI Ogden Phipps S. Lifetime Record: 15-6-5-2. O/B-Adele Dilschneider & Claiborne Farm (KY); T-Bill Mott.

MR. MONEY (c, 3, Goldencents–Plenty O’Toole, by Tiznow) simply dominated in the GIII Matt Winn S. at Churchill Downs Saturday evening. The 3-5 chalk stalked from second as GISW Knicks Go (Paynter) clicked off opening splits of :24.19 and :47.80. Pouncing at the top of the lane, the bay stormed clear to win for fun by six lengths in a sharp final time of 1:42.28. Signalman (General Quarters) was best of the rest in second. Fourth in the GI Breeders’ Cup Juvenile in November, Mr. Money was off the board in both the Feb. 16 GII Risen Star S. and the Mar. 23 GII Louisiana Derby. He romped by 5 1/4 lengths last time in the GIII Pat Day Mile here on Derby day, an effort that was further flattered when runner-up Hog Creek Hustle (Overanalyze) returned to win the GI Woody Stephens S. at Belmont last Saturday.
