SARATOGA SPINGS, N.Y. – It's 'Post Time' for the 97th running of the $1-million GI Whitney Stakes. Well, actually, the race is still a week away, but if you are trainer Brittany Russell, you're darn right it's Post Time. As in Post Time (Frosted), the 4-year-old colt that will make a return trip to Saratoga Race Course. Last month, Post Time, owned by Hillwood Stable, LLC, won the race for second in the GI Metropolitan Handicap. Post Time beat Hoist the Gold (Mineshaft) by a neck. No one was going to beat National Treasure (Quality Road), who won the Met Mile by 6 1/4 lengths for Hall of Fame trainer Bob Baffert. Assuming National Treasure goes in the Whitney–Baffert said he would make a final decision after his colt works Sunday in California–Russell would welcome the chance for the rematch. “National Treasure is a very good horse,” Russell said by phone from Maryland. “We are going to have to really put our running shoes on. (National Treasure) will be hard to beat. We will show up and we'll give it our best.” Post Time, a Maryland-bred, has eight wins, two seconds and a third in 11 career starts. The Met Mile was his first start in Grade I company. He has a pair of graded stakes wins on his resume in the GII Carter Stakes at Aqueduct and the GIII General George Stakes at Laurel. Russell knows that when she gives a leg up to her husband/jockey Sheldon Russell, she is going to get the absolute best that Post Time has. He has never disappointed her. “He is just a good, honest horse,” Brittany Russell said. “He loves his job, he trains, he doesn't miss a beat. He just shows up to the track and does his work every day. Sometimes we wonder if we are doing enough with him.” Post Time had his final Whitney work Saturday at the Fair Hill Training Center, going four furlongs in :49 (7/28) with Russell's assistant Emma Wolfe on board. “He went very good,” Russell said. “He's ready to go.” And he will go to Saratoga on Tuesday. Russel said that Wolfe will accompany Post Time on the trip to the Spa and expects that he will go to the track on Wednesday. Brightwork Ready to Get Back to Work in Test Brightwork, with Daniel Ortiz aboard and trainer John Ortiz ponying, trains at the Spa | Sarah Andrew Last year, Brightwork (Outwork) had herself a summer at Saratoga. As a 2-year-old, the filly romped to a five-length win in the six-furlong GIII Adirondack and then won the 6 1/2-furlong GI Spinaway by a half-length. Trainer John Ortiz and owner Bill Simon hope a return to the Spa will bring more success to the filly. She will make her first start since November in the $500,000, GI Test Stakes next Saturday. The Test is seven furlongs. Once she left the Spa last year, there was a fizzle as Ortiz stretched her out. Brightwork was fifth in the GI Alcibades Stakes at Keeneland and then sixth in the GI Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies at Santa Anita. Both of those races were at 1 1/16 miles. Those two losses followed four straight wins to start her career. “We tried her at two turns twice and she didn't seem to want to do that,” Simon, the former President and CEO of Walmart, said outside Ortiz's barn on the Saratoga backstretch Saturday morning. “She decided she wanted to be a sprinter.” And here she is in the Test. Ortiz didn't flinch when deciding this would be the landing spot for Brightwork. Since the Breeders' Cup, she was given designed time off and then had a minor issue (bone bruise) that kept her out a little longer. After working at Keeneland earlier in the spring, Brightwork has had two works at Saratoga and is scheduled to have her final pre-Test breeze on Sunday. “We really wanted to give her a good break,” Ortiz said at the barn. “We really squeezed the lemon on her for her 2-year-old year. She really has not missed a beat since we got her back. Look at her, she is as tight and fit as you want a horse going into a race like this.” Trainer John Ortiz and Brightwork | Tim Wilkin Simon, who was preparing to feed Brightwork some carrots on this gorgeous Saturday morning, marveled at the way she looked. He has owned horses since 2017 and Brightwork is easily the best he has ever had. “She is a dreamboat,” he said. “You want to see a horse improve from two to three and she has. You want to see them get bigger and she has. She has given us every indication that she will be a better version of herself this year than last year.” Jockeys Ready To Stretch The Vocal Chords For PDJF No one is ever going to confuse Hall of Fame jockey John Velazquez with Frank Sinatra. Johnny V and the rest of the jockey colony at Saratoga will swap their goggles and riding crops for microphones and duets Sunday night when the annual Jockey Karaoke event is held at Vapor Night Club in the Spa City. It is the biggest fundraiser of the season for the Permanently Disabled Jockeys Fund. “It means a lot,” Velazquez, also the President of the Jockey Guild, said while making the rounds on the Saratoga backstretch Saturday morning. “I am a horrible singer, but I do it for a great cause.” Velazquez said he will perform with his wife, Leona (who, Johnny V says, carries the duo). He would not give away the song they'll sing but did drop a hint when he said it will be a number from the movie “Grease.” And there will costumes. John Travolta? Olivia Newton-John? Johnny V would only smile. General admission tickets for the event are still available at $75. The event begins at 8 p.m. “Every year we get a good crowd and it's fun,” said Velazquez, who said Junior Alvarado and Jose Ortiz might be the best crooners in the group. “We're hoping to continue to have a great show and raise more money for a good cause.” Clerical Error Leads to Late Scratch The John Ortiz-trained Master of Arms (Mastery) was scratched from Saturday's third race, a $25,000 claimer, due to a clerical error. “Based on the conditions of the race, Master of Arms was required to carry 123 pounds,” NYRA spokesman Patrick McKenna said in a statement. “Due to a clerical error, the horse was provided the first allowance of three pounds and was weighted at 120 pounds in today's program. Upon discovery of the incorrect weight, the horse was scratched by order of the stewards.” The post Saratoga Notebook, Presented by NYRA Bets: It’s Post Time for Russell in Whitney Stakes appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

Sunday sees Deauville's August Festival get underway and with it Baron Edouard De Rothschild's Mqse De Sevigne (Ire) (Siyouni {Fr}) as she bids for back-to-back renewals of the G1 Prix Rothschild. Also successful in the G1 Prix Jean Romanet and in this term's G1 Prix d'Ispahan at ParisLongchamp, the Andre Fabre-trained homebred is the logical choice here having had her most recent form boosted by Horizon Dore (Fr) (Dabirsim {Fr}) at Royal Ascot. She looks a solid proposition re-opposed by Yeguada Centurion's increasingly disappointing Blue Rose Cen (Ire) (Churchill {Ire}), who was fifth behind her in the d'Ispahan, and the Wertheimers' G1 Prix de la Foret heroine Kelina (Ire) (Frankel {GB}) who has to step up. Fantastic Moon Takes Aim at the Dallmayr-Preis… In Munich's G1 Grosser Dallmayr-Preis, Liberty Racing's Fantastic Moon (Ger) (Sea The Moon {Ger}) bids for a second top-level victory having conquered last year's G1 Deutsches Derby. He looked back to his best last time when taking the G2 Grosser Preis der Badischen Wirtschaft rescheduled at Cologne, but has to give nine pounds weight-for-age to Eckhard Sauren's G3 Grosser Preis der Wirtschaft winner Penalty (Ger) (Frankel {GB}) and also encounters Victorious Racing's G3 La Coupe winner Calif (Ger) (Areion {Ger}). More Deauville Intrigue… Deauville also stages the six-furlong G3 Prix de Cabourg, the G1 Prix Morny trial where Juddmonte's impressive Listed Prix Yacowlef winner Apollo Fountain (GB) (No Nay Never) re-opposes the Wertheimers' TDN Rising Star Polyvega (Ire) (Lope De Vega {Ire}) who beat her by 2 1/2 lengths on debut at Chantilly last month. It will be fascinating to see how they measure up here, with the Fabre runner having that vital extra experience under her belt since their first encounter. Wathnan Racing's G2 Coventry Stakes third Columnist (GB) (Ardad {Ire}) and Gousserie Racing and Sandrine Gavrois's G3 Prix du Bois third Daylight (Fr) (Earthlight {Ire}) will provide all-important context. The other pattern-race for juveniles is the G3 Prix Six Perfections over seven, where the trio of Angeal (Ire) (Wootton Bassett {GB}), Relaxx (Fr) (City Light {Fr}) and Bravo Bay (Fr) (New Bay {GB}) who met at Saint-Cloud in May re-oppose having all won next time.

A $725,000 2-year-old out of OBS April, CHANCER MCPATRICK (c, 2, McKinzie–Bernadreamy, by Bernardini) became his freshman sire's (by Street Sense) first 'TDN Rising Star' and third overall winner with a come-from-behind win in Saturday's seventh race at Saratoga. The 2-1 favorite broke with the field but was outsprinted early and plummeted back off of heels to the back of the pack as T Kraft (Connect) and Invictus (Into Mischief) led up the backstretch. With a massive effort off the far turn, he circled the field while six wide and roared home to nail T Kraft in the shadow of the wire despite switching back to his left lead late.

SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. – With one dominating win after another so far this season, it was time for a new challenge for the imposing 3-year-old filly Thorpedo Anna (Fast Anna). Her trainer Kenny McPeek gave it to her on Saturday when he announced that Thorpedo Anna will make her next start in the $1.25 million Grade I Travers Stakes at Saratoga Race Course on Aug. 24. McPeek made the announcement during the Fox Saratoga Saturday broadcast. “We are headed to the Travers, and I'm going to give you a list of reasons why,” said McPeek, who urged fans attending Travers Day who are rooting for Thorpedo Anna to wear pink to the races that day. “I spoke to David O'Rourke last Sunday or Monday, reached out to him, you know how do we approach this if we do this? I'm a big believer that the sport needs stars. It needs to be promoted, it needs to be lifted. She can do that and we're lucky that she's there to do that. The Alabama was a race that is going to be really boring if I run in it. Nobody is going to run against me, I'm pretty sure of that. She could go out there and knock out a third one for us, but I don't think that's a big enough challenge for her.” McPeek said that Thorpedo Anna had worked against future Kentucky Derby winner Mystik Dan (Goldencents) all winter long. “She made him huff and puff on a regular basis. She helped him win the Kentucky Derby because she got him ready. He would come back and go, `woah, what is that?' And then she's worked against Gould's Gold (Goldencents) and he can't handle her at all. She gallops out way in front of him. So we're going to get a little bit of a barometer on that today (in the Jim Dandy). It's a challenge, it hasn't been done in a long time, she's a great eater, she loves what she does every day and she's here on what I'm going to call her home track now, with two wins over the track. So let's give NYRA a chance to prepare for everything, let's give the Alabama (time) to draw enough entries because it's still a great race and let's see if we can do something magical.” At 6:30 Saturday morning, McPeek schooled Thorpedo Anna in the starting gate at the Oklahoma Training Track. He said then that he would huddle with owners Nader Alaali, Mark Edwards, Judy B. Hicks and his wife Sherri (Magdalena Racing) later in the day before announcing the decision. Thorpedo Anna has won all four of her starts this year-all against fillies-by a combined 18 ¾ lengths. She was last seen winning the GI Coaching Club American Oaks by 41/2 lengths at Saratoga on July 20. She won with ease despite hopping at the start. “There is a little bit of added pressure,” McPeek said Saturday morning about running against males. “But she is such a superstar. She is so great to be around. (Jockey Brian Hernandez) hasn't laid the whip on her all year. We really don't know how good she is.” In her seven career starts, Thorpedo Anna has won six times. The last filly to run in the Travers was Wonder Gadot, who finished 10th, and last, in 2018. In the 154 prior editions of the Midsummer Derby, fillies have won it four times. It hasn't happened since 1915 when Lady Rotha did it. McPeek said he also considered keeping Thorpedo Anna with her own kind. The $600,000 GI Alabama is the biggest race for 3-year-old fillies on the Saratoga calendar. The Alabama, like the Travers, is run at 1 ¼ miles. “If we were to run her against the fillies, the Alabama probably would be a bit of a non-event, which is wonderful, I suppose,” McPeek said. “But is it good for the sport? The (Travers) purse is twice as much and I get five pounds. I'm not scared to do it.” McPeek said one of the reasons he schooled Thorpedo Anna in the starting gate was because of the start in the CCA Oaks. He said he will take her to the gate again a couple more times before the Travers. Thorpedo Anna is scheduled to work next Saturday, McPeek said. “I think it's fun doing this kind of stuff,” he said. “It just makes the sport more interesting, doesn't it?” The post Thorpedo Anna Will Run Against The Boys In The Travers appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. – A pinch of seasoning produced a maiden-breaking recipe for Simulate (Kitten's Joy) Saturday in the opener at Saratoga Race Course. Making his second career start for Hall of Fame trainer Bill Mott, Simulate was in front from gate to wire on the inner turf course to win the $100,000 maiden special weight for 2-year-olds by a head over State's Rights (Constitution). The son of Camou (War Front), a half-sister to GI winner Lea, completed the 1 1/16 miles contest in 1:45.46. He paid $19.60 as the 8-1 fourth choice in the field of 10. Mott prepped the Claiborne Farm-Adele B. Dilschneider homebred on June 23 at Aqueduct and said that the no-factor sixth in a six-furlong sprint had him ready for round two. “We just wanted to get a race in him for experience,” Mott said, “because we knew we were coming to Saratoga and a lot of the horses that win in Saratoga have had a race under their belt.” Mission accomplished. Simulate got what he needed. “Yeah, absolutely,” Mott said. “It worked out today.” State's Rights, who finished well after stumbling at the start, and fourth-place West Beach (Omaha Beach) were the only horses in the race with a previous start. West Beach missed third by a neck. Simulate was Mott's sixth victory of the meet and his first in an open maiden special weight for 2-year-olds. Under Jose Lezcano, Simulate broke well from his inside post and grabbed the lead. They covered the first quarter mile in :24.38 and put themselves in an enviable position with a dawdling second quarter in :27.13. “They slowed the pace down,” Mott said. “The rail's out. They cut the corner. Speed's tough if they go slow enough in the first part. That was good.” Bill Mott and Jose Lezcano | Sarah Andrew Before going out to the paddock to saddle a horse in the second race, Mott watched two replays of Simulate's win. The pan and head-on shots gave Mott more insight into what he had seen live through his binoculars. “Just that he's got some acceleration,” Mott said. “He kind of re-broke off a slow pace. He turned for home and he asked him to kick and he gave him a few good strides where he accelerated. He got away from them and that's all it took.” Simulate also showed some grit when Warlander (Kitten's Joy) and then State's Rights served up some pressure. “He got hooked up at the quarter pole,” Mott said. “They ran to him.” Simulate spurted away a bit at the top of the stretch and then dug in approaching the wire. “I'm not overly surprised,” Mott said. “We've liked him in his training. He's done nothing wrong.” Two turns it is for #2 Simulate, who graduates at second asking in R1 at Saratoga for trainer Bill Mott with Jose Lezcano in the irons!

SIMULATE (c, 2, Kitten's Joy–Camou, by War Front) tried six furlongs on debut at Aqueduct June 23 but ran a steady sixth at 11-1 odds. On the stretch out Saturday, the 8-1 shot, breaking from the rail, sought the lead from the opening strides and rated nicely up front through fractions of :24.38 and :51.51. Set down off the turn, he got a bit of early breathing room but then had to hold off a calvary charge of runners to the wire and just got the better end of a bob to win by a head over States' Rights (Constitution) in a driving finish. Simulate is the first winner out of an unraced half-sister to GISW and Claiborne stallion Lea (First Samuari). Camou has since produced a yearling filly by Catholic Boy but was barren to Blame for this year. Lifetime Record: 2-1-0-0, $55,675. Click for the Equibase.com chart or VIDEO, sponsored by FanDuel TV.

Bright Future (Curlin), a last out winner of the Salvator Mile Stakes at Monmouth June 15, posted his final work in preparation for next Saturday's GI Whitney, covering a half-mile in :48.75 (32/104) Saturday over the Saratoga Race Course main track. Trained by Hall of Famer Todd Pletcher, last year's GI Jockey Club Gold Cup Stakes winner went in company with MGSW and Whitney possible Charge It (Tapit). “He worked well and I'm happy with him,” Pletcher said. “Charge It also went well. I think Bright Future is training great and his works have all been solid. He's enthusiastic in his gallops.” Pletcher could also be represented in the Whitney by Crupi (Curlin). He made the grade two starts back with a strong victory in the GII Suburban June 8 and followed with a runner-up effort to Next (Not This Time)–the marathon division's clear leader–in the 1 3/8-mile GII Brooklyn July 5 at Belmont at the Big A. “We're leaning towards running, but we haven't committed yet,” Pletcher said. “I'll talk to the owners, and we'll see if we take a shot with him.” MGSW and last out GI Stephen Foster Stakes third Skippylongstocking (Exaggerator) worked a half-mile in company in :49.97 (77/104) Saturday over the Saratoga Race Course main track in preparation for a possible start in the Whitney. “It was a good breeze. We had him sit off his workmate a little bit and just come up inside him and finish up together,” trainer Saffie Joseph, Jr. said. “We let him go out a little bit on his own and we got that–just a chance to build his confidence and let him blow some air.” MGSW Il Miracolo (Gun Runner) breezed five furlongs in 1:02 (15/26) Saturday over the fast main track. Trainer Antonio Sano confirmed the chestnut for the Whitney after the solo breeze under Hall of Famer John Velazquez. “Yes,” Sano said regarding entering the Whitney tomorrow. “I hope the horse is good in the Whitney. No easy race, but our horse has a very good chance and I'll try.” He added, “I liked the gallop out. John Velazquez rode the horse very easy and let him loose in the last two furlongs.” The post Bright Future Leads Whitney Workers appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

Unraced since a gate scratch in the GII Coolmore Fountain of Youth Stakes in March, Speak Easy (Constitution) returned to the races off a six-month layoff Saturday to become the newest 'TDN Rising Star'. A dazzling debut winner going seven furlongs at Gulfstream in January, the WinStar and Siena Farm-owned colt tossed up a 100 Beyer Speed Figure in a race that has since produced Sir Barton Stakes winner Corporate Power (Curlin) and GIII Ohio Derby victor Batten Down (Tapit). Shortened to six furlongs for his first start back, Speak Easy was outrun by runners on all sides from the middle of the gate and quickly found himself in the second flight while kept just to the outside of the field to avoid the kickback. A solo fifth into the far turn as Mariachi (Maclean's Music) paced the leaders, the 3-5 favorite had plenty to do to keep up but began to eat into the gap midway around the turn and fanned out five-wide past the quarter pole. Under only a shake of the reins from Irad Ortiz, Jr., Speak Easy began to gobble up the ground down the center of the track, drew past an embattled Mariachi at the sixteenth marker and won going away with his ears pricked on the line to stay perfect in his young career. The 11th 'TDN Rising Star' for WinStar stallion Constitution, who was a 'Rising Star' himself, Speak Easy is the second foal and only winner to date out of GI Darley Alcibiades Stakes third Fun (Harlan's Holiday) who was purchased by WinStar Farm for $400,000 at FTKNOV in 2017. Fun is a half to stakes winner Home Run Maker (Into Mischief) and to the dam of stakes-placed colt Open Road (Quality Road). She has an unraced 2-year-old filly named Geaux Amy (Improbable), a yearling Twirling Candy colt and foaled a filly by Jack Christopher this year before visiting Americanrevolution for 2025. #5 Speak Easy stays perfect in R4 at Saratoga, returning to the races off a 6-month layoff!

On the final day of the National National HBPA Conference at Prairie Meadows a panel entitled “Establishing No-Effect Thresholds and the Importance for the Industry” was led by practicing equine veterinarian and researcher Dr. Clara Fenger. She cited the Horseracing Integrity & Safety Authority's enabling legislation that HISA-covered horses “should compete only when they are free from the influence of medications …” (her emphasis added). Fenger's point: Testing many substances to limit of detection–if the lab can find it, it's a violation, no matter how tiny the amount and whether it impacts the horse's performance or not –actually goes against the federal law that set up the HISA corporation. She said HISA has justified not having more threshold levels by saying that certain substances have no business being in a racehorse at any level. Also on the panel were Dr. Thomas Tobin, a pioneer in equine testing, and Dr. Rob Holland, another equine practitioner who globally consults on infectious diseases. The discussion also featured horse trainer Ron Moquett, who shared his own story on environmental transfer. All four made the case that horse racing must adopt “no-effect” thresholds in racehorse testing for substances that are readily present in the environment. Such policy requires science-based testing levels, below which any trace level findings are disregarded because they have no pharmacological effect on a horse. Tobin for years has been using the term “irrelevant” findings. The National HBPA and its CEO Eric Hamelback have been the leading advocates for no-effect thresholds, saying it is unfair to sanction trainers and penalize their owners when horses are disqualified from purse money for the presence of a tiny amount of a substance they couldn't have prevented. The National HBPA currently has a petition before the Federal Trade Commission asking the federal agency, which is tasked with overseeing HISA, to enact such policies. Tobin has been working on no-effect thresholds since 1994. That work includes this year publishing documentation and recommendation of a methamphetamine threshold of 1 nanogram per milliliter of plasma. He referenced research published in 2019 that showed blood levels testing as high as 88.4 ng/mL with no signs of neuron-stimulation or cardio effect. A coalition of researchers that includes Tobin and Fenger has published research recommending testing thresholds for a dozen substances that have been showing up in horses seemingly through environmental or human transfer. As an example: One recommendation awaiting publication is for the heavily prescribed painkiller Tramadol, with Tobin observing a Kentucky trainer served a suspension for a finding of less than 3 ng/mL of urine. “There was absolutely no possibility of pharmacological effect,” Tobin said. “I have proposed that anything below 50 nanograms per mL of Tramadol as a metabolite in urine should not be considered of any significance.” Holland said every horse that races could potentially pick up trace levels of a prohibited substance from 20 to 30 different–and routine–contact points. Those might include not just the trainer or groom but a van driver, a horse drinking out of another horse's water bucket in the test barn, the prior horse in that stall in the receiving barn, pony riders and outriders, the test-barn employee known as the “pee-catcher”, veterinarians and many others. Even dogs and cats around a barn. Holland also said as part of an investigation into the risks of environmental contamination, they swabbed 12 stalls at a track that has a large yearling sale and all 12 tested for Dexamethasone and Acepromazine, which are not allowed to be in a horse's system for a race. He said one of the swabs was high enough that it would have triggered an adverse finding in a racehorse. Even with thorough cleaning, he said the honeycomb design of the stall floor mats made it impossible to eliminate all the dirt. “That stall should be subject to a $25,000 fine and two years where you can't compete,” Moquett joked, “if they treated the racetracks like they treat the trainers.” Dr. Rob Holland | Denis Blake/NHBPA Added Holland: “That's why we have to explain these things to people: There are things that are out of your control as a trainer. Like the stall they assign to you. You clean it the best you can, but sometimes you're still going to have a problem. And this is what the data is showing.” He said the diabetes medication Metformin, for which HIWU has called a number of adverse findings, lends itself to environmental transfer. Metformin is given daily to humans in large doses and is excreted in its original form. That's a problem given a backstretch habit of humans urinating in a stall when a bathroom isn't handy, he said. “The fact that 20 to 30 individual contacts could occur, and that's the No. 3 drug in the world to treat humans, your odds of getting urine environmental transfer are getting higher and higher with Metformin,” Holland said. “I give a lot of tracks credit. They saw there weren't enough bathrooms so they put Port-A-Potties everywhere. The problem with Port-A-Potties is how do you wash your hands?” Holland also is involved in a project testing the water at racetracks. “Metformin, caffeine, codeine, Tramadol–many of these medications at low levels are coming out of your water sources, because they can't get it out of the treatment plant areas,” he said. “We're building a database for this. It could have added meaning. If (your horse) came in contact with Metformin from an individual but you're also drinking low-levels in your water, that could be enough to get you over the threshold level for a test in a racing situation.” Moquett, who is on HISA's Horsemen's Advisory Group, learned the hard way how easy it can be for a horse to pick up a substance banned for racing. He was cited in November by the Horseracing Integrity & Welfare Unit (HIWU) for his horse Speed Bias having a post-test finding for a local anesthetic. Through spending a lot of money and effort, Moquett was ultimately held blameless, though the horse remained disqualified from purse money. What happened is that Moquett had a different horse castrated in a stall nine days earlier, with the veterinarian using the same anesthetic to inject the testicles–all duly reported to HISA–before Speed Bias shipped in to run out of the same stall. Fortunately for Moquett, the track's barn video documented the effort the trainer's crew underwent to strip, clean and sanitize the stall–on three separate occasions, he said. Moquett said his big concern is the erosion of confidence in the sport by treating irrelevant levels of substances common in the environment as major rule violations. “We're trying to explain to the people in charge to set levels, to where you're not catching and accusing for things that have no effect on racing,” he said. Moquett stressed that trainers also must make it clear to employees that “it's not OK to urinate in the stalls. It's not OK to take your Red Bull in (the stall) with you. It's not OK to put your coffee cup in a feed tub…. I hate to say this, but if there's someone on Metformin for blood pressure (working for him or asking about a job), I'm going to have to try to find someone who may not be.” Fenger praised the National HBPA and its affiliates for providing funding for the threshold studies. Moquett encouraged HBPA affiliates to keep the money coming, saying, “Probably more than anything going on today, the work they're doing has the biggest effect on the outcome of our sport.” Regarding Purse Accounts: Trust But Verify The presentation called “Show Me The Money” featured Gunner LaCour, president of CHRIMS Inc., which specializes in pari-mutuel distributions, settlements, editing and reporting and the only independent provider of settlements in the United States. LaCour, who started the company in California with the Thoroughbred Owners of California as a stakeholder, said that whether horsemen's groups opt to use his non-profit or another company, they should enlist a company that can provide daily audits to ensure horsemen are getting all the purse money to which they are entitled in an increasing complicated environment. LaCour said it's important for horsemen to know all their revenue streams and every aspect of those streams–or they risk literally leaving money on the table. He said roadblocks to achieving that knowledge can be lack of data, relying on a racing commission, alternative gaming revenue can be tougher to determine, lack of time and resources and simply long-standing relationships with tracks might make such accounting seem unnecessary. “All of these can lead to potential of distribution discrepancies, even if there is no intent,” he said. “Trust but verify. You can have these great relationships with these tracks… or maybe just get rid of the first two words, just verify. Make sure your horsemen are getting everything they're entitled to… Be proactive, instead of reactive. Know the data. If you understand your data, that's power. Make sure you're staying on top of it.” Allen Poindexter | Denis Blake/NHBPA 'Living Legend' Poindexter Interviewed Also on Friday during the National HBPA awards luncheon, Iowa HBPA executive director Jon Moss interviewed owner-breeder Allen Poindexter for the National HBPA's Living Legend series. Poindexter's runners include multiple stakes-winning horses at Prairie Meadows and other tracks across the country, with his stable earnings exceeding $18 million. In 1991, Poindexter started a plumbing, heating and air-conditioning business called Allen's Mechanical. “It was very successful from the start,” he said. “So, I was able to buy a horse out of the field, and his name was No Tomorrow. I took him to Oaklawn and got Scooter Dickey to be my trainer. We ran him the first time for $8,000 claiming. He went wire to wire with Pat Day aboard. So I was hooked. We ran him back for $16,000 claiming. He goes wire to wire once again. So, now I'm really hooked.” The post ‘No Effect’ Thresholds To Purse Accounts Round Out Final Day Of HBPA Conference appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

ASCOT, UK — By now, the breeding world is wise to the fact that we only realised almost all too late that Adlerflug was a stallion who should have been treated with the utmost respect. The team at Gestut Schlenderhan knew, but then they bred Adlerflug, who died in 2021 just months after he had been crowned Germany's champion sire for the first time and not long after Schlenderhan had celebrated its 150th anniversary. Adlerflug has been kind to Francis-Henri Graffard, who trained his son In Swoop, also for the Ullmann family of Schlenderhan, to win the Deutsches Derby and finish second in the Arc. This victory for another son, the largely unheralded Goliath, in the King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes takes it to another level, however. Nobody who follows international racing can be in any doubt as to the talents of Graffard, especially not the Aga Khan, who installed him at Aiglemont on the retirement of Alain de Royer Dupre. But he has kept on his own stable in tandem and has now produced what could be deemed a pivotal win for Baron Philip von Ullmann in England's summer middle-distance showpiece. Before Goliath had even returned to the winner's enclosure with his pronounced stringhalt gait, Philip was on the phone to his father Baron Georg von Ullmann, the previous owner of those famous colours which had been carried to glory around Europe and beyond by such illustrious names as Manduro (Ger), Shirocco (Ger), and Getaway (Ger). The dam of the last-named in that trio can be found as the fourth dam of the four-year-old Goliath. Succession matters here, both for horses and humans. Goliath's status as a gelding, which he shares with Graffard's Juddmonte International challenger Calandagan, will open up another debate for the breeding world. But that is a topic of discussion for another day, for this was a day of international glory which is yearned for at Ascot: a German homebred winner trained by a Frenchman and ridden by a Belgian. Moreover, this was a top-flight win for the next generation of the family which has, almost exclusively since 1869, presided over Schlenderhan, the former home of the great Monsun (Ger) and the oldest stud farm of its kind in Germany. Philip von Ullmann has just Goliath in training in France with Graffard and a two-year-old with Victoria Head, but he means business when it comes to maintaining his family name in the annals of racing and breeding. “I'm the sixth generation involved with the stud,” he said in the aftermath of what was viewed by those outside the camp as a shock win. “I'm hoping I can take it to the seventh, eighth or ninth generation.” It was two decades ago that Shirocco landed the Deutsches Derby for his father before going on to glory in the following year's Breeders' Cup Turf – the horse's first win with Christophe Soumillon in the saddle. Together they would also go on to win the Coronation Cup. Ullmann continued, “When we knew that Christophe was going to ride Goliath, I told him, 'Let's do it like 19 years ago in the Breeders' Cup.' But I can't believe it. My god, we always knew he was an amazing horse and for the first time he really got a quick pace. I'm speechless.” When the power of speech had returned and a giant trophy had been collected from the Queen, he added, “My parents are obviously very, very proud. A homebred horse, and by Adlerflug, who in my opinion was one of the three best stallions of the 21st century, just very underrated, and who left sadly too soon. Goliath showed that even on good to firm ground that he can get a top-class horse.” Graffard had spoken to TDN earlier in the week about his designs on both the King George and the Juddmonte International but he said in the winner's circle, “When I saw he was 28/1, I thought 'Oh my god, nobody believes in him'.” He did though, and so did Soumillon, who was literally riding high as he swung into the straight in a canter behind Auguste Rodin, Luxembourg and Rebel's Romance – the winners of 15 Group 1 races between them – whose jockeys were hunched in a hard drive for home. With Soumillon barely shifting until the furlong marker, Goliath sauntered past these weakening rivals as if out for a Sunday stroll. His rider, a little more restrained now than in his days of youthful arrogance, still could not resist a leisurely look over his shoulder as the winning post loomed, as if to say, “Where are you all?” Where indeed. Only Bluestocking could put up anything close to a challenge as she ran on resolutely from out the back to narrow Goliath's margin of victory to a little over two lengths. But that only tells half the story, for this was an absolutely joyous romp for the visitors from the continent. It may not have been what we expected to see, but it was nevertheless a wonder to behold.

Recommendation, ridden by Blake Shinn, wins the Group 3 Bletchingly Stakes at Caulfield. (Photo by Brett Holburt/Racing Photos) The Ciaron Maher-trained Recommendation ($1.40) justified the short quote with online bookmakers in the Group 3 Bletchingly Stakes (1200m) at Caulfield on Saturday afternoon, leading all the way to score an impressive two-length victory in the $200,000 feature. The four-year-old son of Shalaa put the writing on the wall first-up, demolishing his rivals by seven lengths in the Group 3 Sir John Monash Stakes (1100m) on July 13, going on with the job to claim back-to-back victories to kick off the campaign. Blake Shinn took all luck out of the equation from barrier two, electing to lead up the small field of six from the outset, bounding forward to hold out Semillion ($6.50) for the early lead. He was able to hold them up at a steady clip in the middle stages, leaving Mrs Chrissie ($8.50) and Marble Nine ($11.00) to stalk from behind the leading pair, giving the top four turning for home every chance to take over in the final 400m. Recommendation was simply a class above, however, with Shinn pulling the whip to draw clear for a dominant victory, recording the gelding’s eighth win at start 18. 2024 Group 3 Bletchingly Stakes Replay – Recommendation Stable representative Jack Turnbull was on course to dissect the victory and suggested the Group 2 Bobbie Lewis Quality (1200m) and Group 1 Manikato Stakes (1200m) could be viable options throughout the spring. “I was just having a chat to Ciaron (Maher) there,” said Turnbull. “Possibly a Bobbie Lewis given he’s won like that over six (furlongs) maybe we plan ahead towards a race like the Manikato if he was to run another figure like he did last start. “If we want to do that we can give him a breather. It’s not a long time off, he won’t go out for long, and keep that residual fitness.” Blake Shinn was impressed with his mount as he gave his post-race assessment, suggesting the 1200m was a query prior to Saturday’s win. “He’s a real genuine horse this fella,” said Shinn. “I had some reservations coming into today at a strong 1200m with pressure applied, but he ticked that box today. We were able to get a nice easy time in front and I was able to rate him around the bend, not push the button too early and therefore he ran the race out well. “He was getting a little tired the last 50m, but I think the run we had in transit helped him run the 1200m out today and get the job done. “I just think he had a class above them. I think if it was stronger opposition we might’ve got found out today. I think his last three or four runs at 1200m he’d been beaten, so I was very mindful of that coming into today. “We beat the opposition, he’s shown that he can run 1200m in the right circumstances, but he’s four years old and rising five. He’s come into his own now and there’s some good races in him.” Recommendation is now a $21.00 chance with online betting sites for the Group 1 Manikato Stakes (1200m) on September 27.
