  1. The last few races for What a View hadn't been all that encouraging entering the $100,000 American Stakes (G3T) April 21, but the grade 1 winner from two years ago flashed his talent again at Santa Anita Park. View the full article
  2. Something Awesome (Awesome Again) continued his upward progression with this big payday here. Previously campaigned by Daniel Vella predominantly over the synthetic at Woodbine, the bay put an eight-race losing streak to bed with a pair of optional claiming victories on dirt at Laurel Park late last term for Jose Corrales. A close third in the Fire Plug S. Jan. 20, Something Awesome registered a career high with a narrow tally in the seven-furlong GIII General George S. Feb. 17. He stretched to 1 1/8 miles successfully with another victory in Laurel’s Harrison E. Johnson Memorial S. Mar. 17, good for a career-high Beyer Speed Figure of 100. Something Awesome raced in sixth as favored GISW Diversify (Bellamy Road) showed the way through a half-mile in :48.48. He hit the gas with a flashy move while three deep entering the far turn and outslugged War Story to the line to get the money. Pedigree Notes: Two-time GII A Gleam Invitational H. heroine and millionaire Somethinaboutlaura, purchased by Adena Springs for $560,000 at the 2008 FTKNOV Sale, had a filly by Candy Ride (Arg) in 2017.

  14. Sol Kumin is a specialist. He prefers to buy into horses that have already raced and shown talent and prefers to focus on quality fillies and mares, particularly ones that run on the grass. It’s a program that is working as Kumin has gone from an unknown in the sport to one of the game’s most visible and successful owners, doing so in a very short time. The only problem is that’s no way to win a GI Kentucky Derby and what major owner doesn’t want to be part of a Kentucky Derby winner? So Kumin, who has approached horse ownership with a pragmatic business plan where the primary goal is to make money, has decided to change things up a bit and buy into the Derby dream. He’s been involved with a handful of good 3-year-old colts in the past, but never anything like this. Kumin is set to be the co-owner of three Derby starters, ‘TDN Rising Star’ Justify (Scat Daddy), Audible (Into Mischief) and My Boy Jack (Creative Cause). He is also the co-owner of GII Remsen S. winner Catholic Boy (More Than Ready), who is no longer on the Derby trail. “We’re trying to do smart things and take care of our money, which we’ve worked so hard to make,” Kumin said. “But we are also doing this for fun.” Kumin has never gone into anything he has done in racing without a plan, and his quest to be part of a Derby winner is no different. He is not, and says he never will be, a major player at the yearling or 2-year-old sales, so the only way he is going to have his name etched into Derby history is to buy into a top, established horse. That’s what he did in March when he, along with partners, bought a 15% share in both Audible and Justify. Kumin’s Monomoy Stables owns 50% of My Boy Jack a horse his team bought for just $20,000 at Keeneland September 2016. “My view is, instead of buying a bunch of yearlings and 2-year-olds and hoping you wind up with the one that turns out to be really good, why not wait until a little bit later when you have more data and more information and take a shot,” he said. That theory worked out perfectly in 2016 when a Kumin-led group bought into Exaggerator (Curlin), who would go on to finish second in the Derby and win the GI Preakness S. He didn’t fare nearly as well last year when he bought into “a bunch of horses” and more or less came away empty. “Whether they win the Derby or not, it’s fair to say we have already hit with Justify and Audible,” he said. “Since we bought in, they are three for three in terms of wins, with two Grade I wins. The Derby is a big day and I love to have a horse in the race. We had two two years ago (Exaggerator and My Man Sam (Trappe Shot)), none last year, and this year three. This year, we’ve been super lucky.” Kumin said he normally prefers to buy more than 15% of a horse but that’s all that was offered to him in the case of both Justify and Audible. He declined to go into specifics when asked whether or not the 15% entitled him to share in the stallion rights of the two horses. Of his three potential Derby starters, My Boy Jack is clearly the third best on paper. But Kumin admits he will be pulling hardest for that one as he has more ties to the winner of the GIII Stonestreet Lexington S. than the other two. It’s not that Kumin won’t spend money at a yearling sale. It’s just that he is only looking for bargains. “I have done a lot of work on the data and I think that (buying at the sales) is a pretty tough game,” he said. “I try to know what I know and know what I don’t know and I feel that if I went to a sale and spent multiple hundreds of thousands of dollars on multiple horse I am going to lose financially in the long run. I might hit on one every now and then, but in general it is difficult to have that be financially viable over time. Some people are really good at it and I have no edge over them.” That’s why Kumin has relied on Keith Desormeaux, the trainer of My Boy Jack, to buy a few yearlings for him. Desormeaux has an excellent record of purchasing horses for minimal amounts that go on to great success. “Keith had a great track record, so I let him buy me horses and I split those with one other group,” Kumin said. “But he does have a budget.” “‘Jack is my sentimental favorite for all the reasons I’ve already discussed,” Kumin said. “A win by him is what would make me happiest.” Logically, he knows My Boy Jack may be up against it, which could be the case for 18 other Derby starters who will be facing a horse with immense potential in Justify. “I can come up with a scenario where none of them win and a scenario where any one of the three could win,” he said. “As far as Justify goes, I haven’t had a lot of horse with Bob Baffert. I went to the [GI] Santa Anita Derby with my son and spent some time around Bob. I don’t know him as well as some other trainers so I don’t know how to read his confidence, like I do with a trainer like Chad [Brown]. But Bob sure seems confident in this horse. To listen to him and Mike Smith talk, they really feel this horse is the real deal. So I guess if I had to place a wager it would be on Justify.” Kumin is also a co-owner of Monomoy Girl (Tapizar), who will be among the favorites for the Kentucky Oaks. None of which means he’s going to shift his focus to dirt 3-year-old fillies and colts. It’s just that you can only get so much fun out of winning what seems like every turf stakes for fillies and mares run in the U.S. The Derby stands alone, and Kumin, like most, is not immune to its call.

  15. Rockingham Ranch and David Bernsen's Bobby Abu Dhabi backed up his gritty runner-up effort in the Triple Bend Stakes (G1) with his first graded score in the $200,000 Kona Gold Stakes (G2) April 21 at Santa Anita Park. View the full article
  16. After Ballydoyle’s mile Classic contenders have advertised their wares, it is the turn of the operation’s star sprinter on Sunday with Sioux Nation (Scat Daddy) returning in this well-contested affair. Last year’s G1 Phoenix S. and G2 Norfolk S. hero was sixth in the G1 Middle Park S. at Newmarket in September and heads a notable team of three from Ballydoyle alongside the G3 Albany S. winner and G1 Prix Morny and G1 Cheveley Park S.-placed Different League (Fr) (Dabirsim {Fr}) and the Middle Park runner-up Fleet Review (War Front). “He’s in good form and is just ready to start back,” O’Brien said of Sioux Nation. “The ground won’t be ideal, but this will start him off. Different League is just ready to start and hopefully we’ll learn a lot about her. Ideally, Fleet Review would prefer better ground, but he’s in good form.” Outside of this high-class trio, Joseph O’Brien saddles a fascinating contender in the Listed Doncaster S. scorer Speak In Colours (GB) (Excelebration {Ire}).

  17. Coolmore Australia stallion So You Think (NZ) sired a brace of Group 3 winners on Saturday, when Chris Waller trainee Higher Ground (Aus) (video) saluted in the G3 Frank Packer Plate at Randwick, and his filly Sopressa (Aus) (video) scored by over four lengths in the G3 Schweppervescence S. at Morphettville for Darren Weir. Both 3-year-olds are pointing to autumn Classics, the G1 Queensland Derby on June 9 and the G1 Australasian Oaks at Morphettville on May 5, respectively. Higher Ground, who was winning for the fourth time and second in a row after a Benchmark 74 score at Warwick Farm on Apr. 11, represents Woppitt Bloodstock, which is managed by Winx (Aus) (Street Cry {Ire})’s part-owner Debbie Kepitis. So You Think’s studmate Pierro (Aus) also got involved on Saturday, with his Action (Aus) (video) successful by four lengths in the G2 WATC Derby over 2400 metres at Ascot. Runner-up in the Listed Lex Piper S. over that strip on Mar. 10, the Peters Investments colourbearer was fifth in the 2200-metre Listed Melvista S. on Apr. 7. The young sire is already responsible for G1 Kennedy Oaks heroine Pinot (Aus) and Apr. 7 G1 Australian Derby victor Levendi (Aus). View the full article

  21. Tosen Stardom (Jpn) (Deep Impact {Jpn}–Admire Kiremeki {Jpn}, by End Sweep) will stand for A$17,500 at Woodside Park Stud, Racing.com reported on Saturday. The two-time Australian Group 1 winner won both the G1 Toorak H. and G1 Emirates S., as well as two Japanese Group 3 features, and was retired earlier this year with a mark of 29-7-4-1 and earnings of $2,768,511. “You only have to watch his Emirates S. win, and hear the excitement resonating in Matt Hill’s voice say ‘Tosen Stardom drops from the sky’, to know that he is a serious, serious racehorse, and that you can expect the same success at stud,” said Woodside Park Stud’s James Price. “Tosen Stardom will be strongly supported by his owners, Northern Farm’s Mr. Yoshida and Mr. Shimakawa, Australian Bloodstock and Woodside Park Stud. He will have every opportunity with the best-performed and proven producing mares to hit the ground running with a brilliant first crop of foals.” View the full article
  22. • Unbeaten GI Santa Anita Derby winner and ‘TDN Rising Star’ Justify (Scat Daddy) had his pen-ultimate workout Saturday morning for the GI Kentucky Derby, going six furlongs under jockey Drayden Van Dyke in 1:13.20 (4/16). “I was happy with the work,” Hall of Fame trainer Bob Baffert said. “Everything went well. He’ll work one more time here next weekend.” Added private clocker Toby Turrell, “Justify was just as impressive as he’s been up to this point. Nothing’s changed.” • Trainer Chad Brown called Saturday’s breeze by champion 2-year-old colt and last out GII Toyota Blue Grass S. winner Good Magic (Curlin) “outstanding” after the chestnut worked four furlongs in :48 (6/71). Keeneland clockers caught Good Magic galloping out five furlongs in 1:00 and six furlongs in 1:14. “The horse is moving great,” Brown said. “He was well within himself. His time’s perfect–what I was looking for. It was well executed. We’re really confident that this horse is coming into the [Derby] the right way. We’re confident [that] if he continues training as he is now, he’ll run the best race of his life.” • Flameaway (Scat Daddy), Free Drop Billy (Union Rags) and Promises Fulfilled (Shackleford) kicked off the exclusive training period for Kentucky Derby contenders from 7:30-7:45 a.m. Saturday with five-furlong workouts at Churchill Downs. Flameaway, winner of the GIII Sam F. Davis S. and runner-up in the Blue Grass, breezed five furlongs in company in 1:00.40 (12/52). “I was really happy with his breeze this morning,” said assistant trainer Nick Tomlinson, who is overseeing trainer Mark Casse’s string at Churchill Downs. “He’s doing really well with the track at Churchill and he recorded one of his best breezes that I’ve seen.” Promises Fulfilled, upset winner of the GII Xpressbet Fountain of Youth S. and ninth-place finisher in the GI Florida Derby, breezed five furlongs in :59.20 (4/52). GISW Free Drop Billy, promoted to third in the Blue Grass, jogged one mile, galloped one mile, then breezed five furlongs in a bullet :59 (1/52). “Impressive is all I can really say,” trainer Dale Romans said. “I’ll tell you what, both of these horses looked awesome this morning. It would definitely be a relief to win one of these things one day. These are very smart horses and are doing everything right in the lead up to the Derby.” • Blended Citizen (Proud Citizen), currently on the outside looking in toward a spot in the Kentucky Derby, worked five furlongs in company in :59:40 (1/25) at Keeneland Saturday morning after the maintenance break. The narrow GIII Jeff Ruby Steaks winner and Blue Grass fifth-place finisher galloped out six furlongs in 1:11.40. “The farther the better for him,” said Jack Sisterson, assistant to trainer Doug O’Neill. “He galloped out well and [Hall of Fame rider] Gary [Stevens] was happy with him. He said he really got going after the wire.” • Runaway GI Central Bank Ashland S. heroine and likely GI Kentucky Oaks favorite Monomoy Girl (Tapizar) worked a half-mile in :47.40 (4/50) in company at Churchill Saturday. “She’s been training very forward since coming to Churchill Downs,” trainer Brad Cox said. “She’s been keen in the mornings, so we think she’s definitely ready.” Coach Rocks (Oxbow), winner of the GII Gulfstream Park Oaks, breezed five furlongs in a bullet :59 (1/52) Saturday morning at Churchill Downs. “[Coach Rocks] is really improving and training well here at Churchill Downs,” trainer Dale Romans said. Streaking Sunland Park Oaks winner Blamed (Blame) worked five furlongs in 1:01.40 (25/52) Saturday morning at Churchill Downs. “It’s exciting to be here in Kentucky for the first time,” trainer Joel Marr said. “This will be the first horse I’ve run in Kentucky and it’s great to be here. We’ll see what she’s made of in the Oaks.” View the full article
  23. Champion sire Snitzel (Aus)’s Trapeze Artist (Aus) made it a hat trick of Group 1 wins this season, narrowly saluting in the G1 All Aged S. at Royal Randwick on Saturday. It was the sophomore’s second Group 1 win over 1400 metres, and his racing future is in doubt, as a stud career looms a decent possibility. Duly favoured at 2-1 after landing the 1200-metre G1 T.J. Smith S. during the first Saturday of The Championships on Apr. 7, the dark bay with the distinctive blinkers, found a good position in third one off the fence behind Showtime (Aus) (Snitzel {Aus}, who was tackled by Le Romain (Aus) (Hard Spun) at the 1000-metre point. The Gerald Ryan charge had The Mission (Aus) (Choisir {Aus}) to his inside for the majority of the backstretch and was at least three off the fence as he began to let down 400 metres from home. As the field spread out for the run in, Trapeze Artist responded to hoop Tye Angland’s left-handers, and he drew level with Le Romain to his inside. It took several strides to subdue that MG1SW, but ultimately Trapeze Artist won by a head, with Showtime hanging on grimly for third 1 1/2 lengths back, giving their Arrowfield-based sire the first and third in the Group 1 weight-for-age feature. The time was a new track record of 1:20.33. Ryan was keen to have the colt come back at four, as he told Racing.com, “I’d like to see him keep racing. [I’d] like to come back for an Everest. He’d be sensational in that. Even today, people will say he wasn’t impressive, but he ran a track record, he’s beaten a two or three-time Group 1 winner in Le Romain, who’s had more improvement coming off the T.J. [Smith]. He got the job done. He only had 23 days off after the run at Flemington and has come back a stronger horse and if he went out now and had six or seven weeks’ break, he might be the fair dinkum top of the world as a 4-year-old. Let’s just hope we get a chance to show it.” A winner of the G3 Black Opal S. and third in the G1 Inglis Sires’ S. in the latter half of his juvenile season, Trapeze Artist earned his first Group 1 badge in the G1 Golden Rose third up in September, but threw in a clunker when 15th in the G1 Coolmore Stud S. to the Royal Ascot-bound Merchant Navy (Aus) (Fastnet Rock {Aus}) on Nov. 4. Spelled for just over 11 weeks, Trapeze Artist won the G2 Expressway S. at Rosehill on Feb. 3, ran fourth in the G2 Hobartville S. there later that month and went one better in Kementari (Aus) (Lonhro {Aus})’s 1600-metre Randwick Guineas on Mar. 10, one start before the T. J. Smith. Pedigree Notes… Trapeze Artist, one of 13 Group 1 winners for his sire, was followed by a yearling half-brother by Zoustar (Aus) that died, and a half-sister by Wandjina (Aus) born last year. Snitzel is enjoying another championship-caliber season, his progeny earnings north of A$26 million and already 25 stakes winners with over three months of racing left. The dam of Trapeze Artist, Treppes (Aus) (Domesday {Aus}) is a half-sister to G1 Stradbroke H. hero Crawl (Aus) (Dr Grace {Aus}), while under the third dam is G1SW Boardwalk Angel (Aus) (Bletchingly {Aus}), herself dam of New Zealand champion spinter/miler Coogee Walk (NZ) (Success Express).

  24. 6th-NBY, £8,550, Mdn, 4-21, 3yo, 8fT, 1:41.56, g/s. RAYMOND TUSK (IRE) (c, 3, High Chaparral {Ire}–Dancing Shoes {Ire}, by Danehill), sent off at 11-1, was free early racing in a close-up second. Instead of paying for his early exertions, the €85,000 ARAUG yearling found extra when tackled by He’s Amazing (Ire) (Fastnet Rock {Aus}) after taking over at the quarter pole and powered clear for a resounding 4 1/2-length success. There were another two lengths back to Ta Allak (GB) (New Approach {Ire}), the half-brother to the recent G1 Dubai Turf hero Benbatl (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}) who shaped with real promise as he stayed on strongly at the end. “Raymond Tusk has always shown ability and I took him to Kempton and he worked well,” trainer Richard Hannon told the Racing Post. “He really could be anything. [Jockey] Tom [Marquand] said he had gears and won very well. I hope he’s better than a handicapper, but I’d love him to be off 88 in the Britannia [H. at Royal Ascot] and then I think he’ll want one mile two. He’s as nice a horse as you’ll see. He’s a fabulous-looking horse.” Dancing Shoes’s second foal was Striking Dancer (Smart Strike), who was successful in the GII La Canada S., GSW-US, $301,346. Still with a 2-year-old filly and yearling colt by No Nay Never, she is a half-sister to the G1 Coronation S. and GI Milady H. third Zarani Sidi Anna (Danzig) from the family of Sir Ivor’s sires Bates Motel and Super Asset.

  25. 7th-NBY, £15,000, Mdn, 4-21, 3yo, 11fT, 2:24.61, g/s. YOUNG RASCAL (FR) (c, 3, Intello {Ger}–Rock My Soul {Ire} {MSW-Ger & GSP-Fr, $144,166}, by Clodovil {Ire}), a €215,000 ARAUG yearling, had been put firmly in his place on debut by stablemate My Lord and Master (Ire) (Mastercraftsman {Ire}) over an extended mile at Nottingham in November and tracked the leading group racing better than mid-division early. Stoked up wide in midstraight, the 3-1 favourite hit the front two out and despite showing greenness drew clear to win by five lengths with plenty of authority from Corgi (GB) (So You Think {NZ}). The winner, who holds an entry in the G1 Epsom Derby sponsored by Investec of which his owner Bernard Kantor is the current managing director, is out of the smart MSW Rock My Soul who was snapped up by Elisabeth Fabre and finished third in the 2011 G3 Prix Allez France under her husband’s tutelage. She is a half-sister to last year’s G3 Preis der Winterkonigin-winning juvenile highweight Rock My Love (Ger) (Holy Roman Emperor {Ire}) who was recently bought by George Strawbridge and ran below expectations on her first start in those colours in this month’s G3 Prix Vanteaux. From the family of the champion Turfkonig (Ger), Rock My Soul’s 2-year-old daughter of Motivator (GB) is named Tilda (Ire), while she also has a yearling colt by Camelot (GB).
