SATURDAY, APRIL 21, 2012 732-747-8060 $ TDN Home Page Click Here FEATURE PRESENTATION • GIII COOLMORE LEXINGTON S. IN WITH A SHOT Although unlikely to produce a starter for this year=s GI Kentucky Derby, today=s GIII Coolmore Lexington S. has still attracted a pretty solid field. Bourbon Lane Stable=s Johannesbourbon (Johannesburg), a dazzling 9 3/4length debut winner going 6 1/2 furlongs at Turfway Park Mar. 25 (video), dives right into the deep end. AHe ran a big Sheets number in his first Castaway race,@ trainer Kellyn Gorder said. AI Coady Photography know it was Turfway and we really didn=t know what he beat.@ The runnerup that day Potomac River (English Channel) stamped himself as one to watch with an impressive maiden victory over the Keeneland lawn earlier this week. AThat validated the race a little bit,@ Gorder commented. AMike McMahon and Jamie Hill had an idea of what they had. They thought they would have a shot at going into the Lexington if he ran as well as they thought he would.@ Gorder also trains the unbeaten J “TDN Rising Star” J Bourbon Courage (Lion Heart) on behalf of McMahon and Hill=s operation. Unbeaten Summer Front (War Front) makes his much- anticapted sophomore debut here. The Waterford Stable colorbearer won his first three starts on grass, including the $100,000 Dania Beach S. at Gulfstream Park Dec. 18. AHe is a very exciting prospect,@ trainer Christophe Clement told Daily Racing Form. AHe has been impressive in every single race. He has been training brilliantly at Payson Park the last couple of months.@ UNION RAGS WORKS AT KEENELAND Chadds Ford Stable=s Union Rags (Dixie Union) continued to tune up for the GI Kentucky Derby with a fourfurlong move in :47.40 at Keeneland Friday. Under regular exercise rider Peter Brette, the GII Fasig-Tipton Fountain of Youth S. hero posted fractions of :12, :24 and :35.80, and was out five furlongs in 1:00 (video). His Union Rags Coady Photography previous four-furlong workout took place at Palm Meadows Apr. 12. AI thought he went well,@ trainer Michael Matz said. AIt was nothing spectacular, but he did it nice and galloped out fine. He was doing a two-minute lick before he got to the half-mile pole. It was a good work and we will ask Union Rags more of him in his next work.@ Coady Photography The handsome bay heads to the big one following a troubled third in the GI Florida Derby Mar. 31. Matz added that Union Rags would likely ship to Louisville in the middle of next week. Ï Ò Lexington S. cont. Castaway (Street Sense), a 3 3/4-length winner of one of the divsions of the GIII Southwest S. at Oaklawn Feb. 20, can get in the Derby conversation with a win. The Bob Baffert trainee, a well-beaten seventh in the GIII Sunland Derby Mar. 25, currently boasts $162,000 in graded earnings. Morgan=s Guerrilla (Ghostzapper) and Golden Ticket (Speightstown) enter off solid secondplace finishes in the GIII Illinois Derby Apr. 7 and the GII Tampa Bay Derby Mar. 10, respectively.

Stirred Up (Lemon Drop Kid) is favored at 2B1 on Eric Donovan=s morning line. Favored when a distant third behind stablemate and J “TDN The Lumber Guy Rising Star” J Adam Coglianese Bodemeister (Empire Maker) going a mile for the first time at Santa Anita Feb. 11, he held off a late run from Holy Candy (Candy Ride {Arg}) to graduate Mar. 13 at the Arcadia oval. The $420,000 KEESEP purchase gave a solid account of himself in his stakes debut last time out, finishing a clear third behind Daddy Nose Best (Scat Daddy) in the GIII Sunland Derby Mar. 25. Baffert=s second string is Brigand (Flatter), the $925,000 topper out of the 2011 OBS March sale who has been something of a disappointment for owner Kaleem Shah and remains eligible for a first-level allowance. The Lumber Guy (Grand Slam) cuts back to the one-turn mile off a pacesetting fifth in the GI Wood Memorial S. Apr. 7 and should be gunning for it from the inside post, but will have plenty of company up front. AIt=s back quicker than I=d like, but I=m anxious to run him in a one-turn mile,@ trainer Michael Hushion said. AI think that=s the key, a one-turn mile. A rider can just come out there real quietly, wherever he wants to take him, and make them sort it out for a half mile down the backside.@ Saturday, Aqueduct, post time: 5:00 p.m. EDT JEROME S.-GII, $200,000, 3yo, 1m PP HORSE SIRE JOCKEY 1 The Lumber Guy Grand Slam Luzzi 2 Brigand Flatter Nakatani 3 Stirred Up K Lemon Drop Kid Garcia 4 Dan and Sheila K More Than Ready Napravnik 5 Right To Vote Political Force Solis 6 Adirondack King K Lawyer Ron Carmouche 7 Term Loan City Place Garcia TRAINER ML Hushion 5-2 Baffert 4-1 Baffert 2-1 Pletcher 12-1 Harty 5-1 Servis 12-1 Violette Jr 8-1 TELL IT TO THE TDN...

Successful on good-to-soft in the Listed Stardom S. in September, he was a place ahead of Thursday=s impressive G3 Craven S. winner Trumpet Major (Ire) (Arakan) when fourth in a renewal of Newmarket=s G1 Dewhurst S. that is working out well when last seen in October. ABronterre looked to love the rain-softened ground when he won by five lengths at Goodwood last September, so he should be in his element in the conditions,@ commented Richard Hannon, who has won three of the last five renewals. AHe was only beaten a length in the Dewhurst, finishing just behind Trumpet Major, who did the form no harm in the Craven, so we have to be hopeful. Bronterre worked well with Trumpet Major when they went to Newbury for an away day recently and he seems in very good form.@ Caspar Netscher (GB) (Dutch Art {GB}) has already proven his liking for this track when successful in the G2 Mill Reef S. over six furlongs in September, but has stamina to prove after a last-out eighth in the GI Breeders= Cup Juvenile Turf over a mile at Churchill Downs. Andrew Balding puts forward Thurloe Thoroughbreds= Spiritual Star (GB) (Soviet Star), who tempted connections into a supplementary entry for the Dewhurst with a six-length success in a seven-furlong maiden at Newmarket in September. Despite coming up short on the big occasion when seventh, he was only beaten just over four lengths, and that race=s also-rans Trumpet Major, Red Duke (Hard Spun) and Ektihaam (Ire) (Invincible Spirit {Ire}) have all boosted the form this year. AI=m very happy with him and I think he=s improved a lot since last year--he=s a fine-looking, strong 3-year-old type,@ Balding said yesterday. AHe=s a high-quality horse at home and the question mark is the ground, but it=s the same for all of them, and if he goes on it he=ll go very well. He was too free in the Dewhurst and probably, in hindsight, it came too soon after his maiden win. He has a very bright future, and this might not be the best guide, as it will be run on soft ground, but I hope he handles it.@ The brisnet.com >Race of the Day= is the GIII Coolmore Lexington at Keeneland For pps and a complete race analysis, click here.

Robert Barnett=s Best Terms (GB) (Exceed and Excel {Aus}) is not a certain starter for today=s G3 Fred Darling S. at Newbury, with the soft ground causing connections some anxiety. Having coped with good-to-soft when winning the G2 Lowther S. at York in August, the diminutive homebred is not built for deep conditions, especially as this trip is an unknown. AWill Edmeades, racing manager to the Barnetts who own Best Terms, has always been for going straight for the Guineas, so if we are not happy with the ground we will wait for Newmarket," trainer Richard Hannon said of the homebred, who was a latest fifth in the G1 Cheveley Park S. at Newmarket in September. ABest Terms has not grown since last year, but she has been working very well up at Everleigh and she is fit enough. We think that she will stay the seven [furlongs] and she switches off at home, which is encouraging, but we won=t know about the mile until we get to Newmarket.@ Mick Channon has done well with his 3-year-old fillies so far this term and Fillionaire (GB) (Kyllachy {GB}) is held in high regard at West Ilsley. Last seen finishing third in the Listed Radley S. over this track and trip in October, she is owned by Ann Black who is also a partner in the recent Kempton conditions scorer Laugh Out Loud (GB) (Clodovil {Ire}).

I=ll bring him here tomorrow to walk him around the paddock and then we=ll work him at home and if his work is good and the owner is happy, I=d like to run in the 2000 Guineas. He needs a couple of pieces of work and then he=ll be there. He=s a nice, good-looking horse who moves well and would be inconvenienced by soft ground.

Despite attempts to lessen the 50-day suspension handed out in February for not following the instructions of the trainer of one of his mounts, the high-profile rider will have to wait until Apr. 29 to resume duties. Jamie Stier, Director of Raceday Operations and Regulation for the BHA, said in a statement, AThe BHA stands behind the principle of reciprocity of penalties among recognised international racing bodies. Without reciprocity there is a risk of there being no effective measures to deter visiting participants from breaching the rules of the respective authority. However, we will be looking to see if there are any lessons to learn which may assist the handling of such matters in the future.@ OMISSION: A colt by War Front--Emotional Rescue (Smart Stike) was inadvertently omitted from the list of toppers during Thursday’s session of the Tattersalls Craven Sale.

AROUND THE WORLD BRUNETTI CHALLENGE TO MONMOUTH LEASE DISMISSED A complaint filed by John Brunetti, owner of Hialeah Park, seeking to re-open the bidding process on the lease to operate New Jersey=s Monmouth Park has been dismissed. The Board of Commissioners of the New Jersey Sports and Exposition Authority received a 37-page document Thursday afternoon from its hearing officer Mark Stefanacci saying that Brunetti=s challenge was without merit, upholding the decision to give control of the track to the New Jersey Thoroughbred Horsemen=s Association. The organization was granted the right to lease Monmouth Mar. 1, but soon afterwards, Brunetti, who operates Red Oak Stable with a string at Monmouth, challenged the decision, suggesting that the terms of that lease were dramatically different than those he had been offered in an initial request for proposals. On Monday, Brunetti also argued before the board that political contributions made by the NJTHA, a not-for-profit organization, precluded them from being awarded the lease under the state of New Jersey=s payto-play restrictions. The NJTHA argued that, as a notfor-profit, is was not bound by the same rules as a business entity. Brunetti also acknowledged campaign contributions of his own. The NJSEA board met behind closed doors Thursday and accepted Stefanacci=s recommendations at that time, but did not disclose their action until New Jersey Governor Chris Christie gave his approval. The governor signed off on the minutes Friday afternoon. Through his attorneys, Brunetti indicated that he might appeal the decision if the agreement was not overturned, but it was not clear Friday what other legal remedies he might seek, if any. Monmouth Park is scheduled to a 71-day meeting Saturday, May 12.

AChaplain Bob [Miller] usually drives from farm to farm, as we do not have a central spot. We spent a year looking for land that would serve our purposes, that we could afford and that was properly zoned. We finally found the perfect location and the plans began. Of course shortly after this the market collapsed and we had to regroup and restructure our tastes. Slowly we started the process, thanks to a very dedicated volunteer Vicky Donnan who took on this project and spent countless hours meeting with engineers, contractors and city planners it was completed.

Successful in the 2010 Listed Cecil Frail S. at Haydock, Beyond Desire earned prize money in four pattern-race starts last term and closed 2011 with an unplaced effort in the Oct. 2 G1 Prix de l=Abbaye at Longchamp. Sent straight to the front after a slick exit in this seasonal bow, she poached a decisive advantage on her rivals entering the final eighth and came under a drive to hold the late thrust of Caledonia Lady for a second black-type score. AShe has held her form quite well since she was a 2-year-old, but fluffed her lines in the Abbaye when trying to anticipate the start and rearing up in the stalls,@ explained rider Neil Callan. AThe team has done a great job keeping her relaxed--she winged the gate today and won well.

Driven to lead passing the furlong marker, the 3-1 second choice was briefly headed by Tartiflette (GB) (Dr Fong) soon after but knuckled down to regain the advantage close home and score by a head.

EKTIHAAM (IRE) (c, 3, Invincible Spirit {Ire}--Liscune {Ire}, by King=s Best) earned J “TDN Rising Star” J status at Doncaster in September, but finished last of nine in the Oct. 8 G1 Dewhurst S. at Newmarket in his juvenile campaign closer. Positioned at the back of the four runners for most of this return, the 11-4 chance eased ever closer in the long straight and asserted under coaxing inside the final quarter mile to comfortably best Wrothem Heath (GB) (Dansili {GB}) by five lengths. AWe never lost faith in the horse, and he wintered very well,@ commented Roger Varian. AWhen you come back after a bad race, be it two weeks or several months, you really need to do it on the track to justify that faith. In hindsight, the Dewhurst was probably the wrong race to run in, as he was a bit babyish and the ground was quick. Also, he might not have handled the track and he didn=t get much luck in running. Everything that could go wrong went wrong, and it was not the best way to end the year. I=m delighted with this comeback and he=s put himself back in the picture. He=s got an entry in the [May 17 G2 ] Dante [S. at York], but I=m not going to commit to running there. We=ll take him home and discuss plans with Sheikh Hamdan and [racing manager] Angus Gold to see where we go next.@ Sales history: 250,000gns wnlg >09 TATDEC. Lifetime Record: 4-3-00, ,21,667.

Making smooth progress to pass the long-time leader Ensejaam (Dynaformer) under hand riding with a furlong remaining, the homebred drew away to record an impressive eight-length success, with a further five back to Love Tatoo (Ire) (Acclamation {GB}) in third. The winner is a half-sister to Enticing (Ire) (Pivotal {GB}), MGSW-Eng, $260,639. AShe is quite sharp and we didn=t think she would stay, but Johnny [Murtagh] got her well settled and she came home well,@ trainer William Haggas=s wife Maureen commented. AShe might be a proper seven-furlong filly, but I don=t think she=ll get a mile. Her mother loved this ground and she is a strong filly--she looked useful there and it would be great to have a nice filly for Lael Stable.

Still well adrift of the action approaching the final quarter mile, the 60,000gns TATOCT yearling made steady progress in a slowmotion finish and, when changing legs before the 100yard marker, found another gear to reel in Everlong (GB) (Authorized {Ire}) to win by a length. The winner is a half to Harris Tweed (GB) (Hernando {Fr}), MSW & MGSP-GB, $253,093; and Beaten Up (GB) (Beat Hollow {GB}), GSW-Eng, $162,945. AJohnny [Murtagh] said they went very fast and she was a bit green, but she stays well,@ trainer William Haggas=s wife Maureen said. AShe is quite lazy and she=ll come on a lot for that. She might come back here [for the May 18 Listed Swettenham Stud Fillies= Trial], but that was heavy ground and she=ll know she=s had a race today, so we=ll give her time.@ The stable won the second division 12 months ago with eventual G1 Epsom Oaks heroine Dancing Rain (Ire) (Danehill Dancer {Ire}).

Maintaining control throughout, the 2-1 chalk was given a shake of the reins just inside the two pole and kept on strongly under final-furlong urging to safely hold Red Hand (Mr. Greeley) by a half-length. AI told James [Doyle] to be positive and I thought he set sensible fractions as it was a very long time to be in front in the headwind,@ said trainer Roger Charlton. AI think she was happy on that [soft] ground whereas some of the other were not. I didn=t enter in the [June 1 G1] Oaks, as I didn=t think the track would suit her and I didn=t think she was good enough.
