THE TURF TEN

Nick's picks for the top ten three year old horses in North America with at least one start on the turf in 2012 and perhaps with thoughts of running in the mile and quarter $600,000 Virginia Derby (G2) at Colonial Downs on July 21st. The performance of SILVER MAX in the Transylvania is enough to earn him top billing in the first 2012 TURF TEN (Coady Photography)
		Owner	Trainer	Jockey (last start)
1	SILVER MAX	Mark Bacon & Dana Wells	Dale Romans	Robbie Albarado
	After running second is all five 2011 starts on both dirt and turf, the Badge of Silver colt is undefeated on the 2012 turf in three starts, including an impressive 5+ length score in Keeneland’s Transylvania Stakes.  Only a tempting excursion to the dirt in the Holy Bull blemishes Romans’ Badge of Silver.
		Owner	Trainer	Jockey (last start)
2	DULLAHAN	Donegal Racing	Dale Romans	Kent Desormeaux
	Let’s see, a Crawford, Romans and Desormeaux colt that transitions from the Gulfstream Turf in the Palm Beach, to the synthetic at Keeneland, to the dirt of the Kentucky Derby.  We’ve seen this before with Paddy O’Prado.  Obviously, his Triple Crown performance sets his summer calendar.
		Owner	Trainer	Jockey (last start)
3	HOWE GREAT	Team Valor	Graham Motion	Javier Castellano
	Motion might now return the Palm Beach winner to the turf where he has never lost.  Last year’s Kentucky Derby winning connections (Animal Kingdom) have won their last three on the turf, four overall.  Colts that run well at Gulfstream seem to run well at Colonial.  Next start? The American Turf on Oaks Day.
		Owner	Trainer	Jockey (last start)
4	STAR CHANNEL	GDS Racing Stable	Todd Pletcher	Pedro Cotto
	Pletcher trains not only this three year old Florida talent, he also trained his sire, English Channel to a sweep of Colonial’s “twin turf” wins in 2005.  The Sophomore Turf winner has won his last three starts-all turf wins.  Like the Correze mare, Reach the Top.  Proven in routes winning twice at 1 & 16th.
		Owner	Trainer	Jockey (last start)
5	OUR ENTOURAGE	Repole Stable	Todd Pletcher	John Velasquez
	His lifetime race record is 2 wins in 6 starts.  Yet on the turf he’s 2 for 2.  Was it the distance, surface or both that gave him fits in the Illinois Derby.  Don't see a return to the dirt anytime soon.  He never seems to keep the same rider.
		Owner	Trainer	Jockey (last start)
6	ACHILLES	Peachtree Stable	Neil Drysdale	Joe Talamo
	I’m intrigued by this west coast colt is yet another sire that was a top performer at Colonial Downs.  Smart Strike sires Drysdale’s lightly raced Santa Anita miler untoppled in his two turf starts.  Next start? Stretching out of a mile and a eighth in the American Turf.
		Owner	Trainer	Jockey (last start)
7	BLINGO	Jerry & Ann Moss	John Shirreffs	Mike Smith
	Undefeated and impressive on the turf in two starts while being two lackluster in two starts when not on it.  Sheriffs tells the DRF he may not be fully convinced that he has to race on the turf, but we like it when he does.  A solid win in the La Puente Stakes at 1 & 1/8th at Santa Anita.
		Owner	Trainer	Jockey (last start)
8	EASY CROSSING	Preston Stables, LLC	Christophe Clement	Joe Bravo
	Trainer Christophe Clement who saddled 2008 Virginia Derby winner Gio Ponti has an English Channel colt that could be on the rise.  Lots of Virginia Derby karma from this Gulfstream performer who won twice and is now beginning to win as a favorite.
		Owner	Trainer	Jockey (last start)
9	TRAVEL ADVISORY	TK Stables	Kellyn Gorder	M. Cruz
	Moved up well in the Transylvania but still well back of its winner, Silver Max.  Yet, with two solid outings he may have found a home on the turf and could be dangerous at longer distances.
		Owner	Trainer	Jockey (last start)
10	ICON IKE	Fletcher & Carolyn Gray	Larry Jones	M.Mena
	He’s done enough to make the list but the Transylvania was a bit unsettling after three consecutive wins on the Fairgrounds turf including the $75,000 Black and Gold.  Perhaps the venue change, jockey change distance and poor start were a bit too much.  He could have just had a bad day.
EDGING... LOOK AT THE TIME, undefeated in restricted races at the Fairgrounds, CHIPS ALL IN, little said since Pasadena win at Santa Anita, GOOD MORNING DIVA and BIG SCREEN dueled well in the Calder Derby that was pulled off the turf.  SUMMER FRONT ran 2nd in the Lexington after a solid 2-year old turf campaign.  Trainer Graham Motion is now considering GOLD MEGILLAH for the turf campaign that would wind up in New Kent.

MINORITY INTEREST IN VA-BRED DERBY CONTENDER SOLD

(Reed Palmer Photo)

From the Paulick Report:  Ahmed Zayat of Zayat Stables confirmed today that a minority interest in Kentucky Derby hopeful (Virginia-bred) Bodemeister has been sold to Mike and Tiffany Moreno of Southern Equine Stables, reports the Blood-Horse. Zayat declined to comment on the sale price but said it was "a very healthy, lucrative arrangement for us."

Bodemeister will continue to be managed by Zayat Stables and will still race under the Zayat silks.

Zayat said he agreed to the deal with Southern Equine because the owners have “spent a great deal of time and money building up a high-quality broodmare band which will be good support to the colt when he eventually retires to stud.”

Among the broodmares owned by Southern Equine is Better Than Honour. Better Than Honour is the dam of Jazil and Rags to Riches, both of whom won the Belmont Stakes. Southern Equine purchased Better Than Honour for a record $14 million at the 2008 Fasig-Tipton Kentucky fall mixed sale.

AUDLEY GETS HEARD

By Nick Hahn

The grass is greener, the air is cleaner and there’s a bounce in everyone’s step at Berryville’s Audley Farm in northwestern Virginia where Bodemeister was bred.  Their former resident as a weaning and a yearling is scheduled to “run for the roses” in the Kentucky Derby in less than two weeks, likely as the favorite in a twenty-horse field.  Should he win, Bodemeister would become the first Virginia-bred to win the Derby since Sea Hero in 1993. 

“Everyone is dreaming of that,” Audley’s General Manager, Dr. Jens Von Lepel said.  “This is the best reward for my owners and my crew here.  They are so stimulated.  In the morning, they come out (and ask) where are my horses.”

Dr. Jens von Lepel stands with an Untouchable Talent weanling, Bodemeister's half sister.

Come to think of it, even on a rainy Monday afternoon, there wasn’t a blade of uncut grass outside of the paddocks.  With a 10 length score (officially 9 ½ lengths) in the Arkansas Derby April 14^th at Oaklawn Park, Bodemeister not only ensured his place in the Kentucky Derby starting gate, he will be the first Virginia-bred to start in the Derby since Semoran in 1996 (Keswick Stable). 

Tuesday morning, Bodemeister worked 5 furlongs in 1:00 4/5^ths at Churchill Downs for trainer Bob Baffert.  It is Baffert’s son, Bode, whom Bodemeister is named.   Usually handicappers shy away from frontrunners in the Derby’s mile and a quarter, yet they can’t dismiss Bodemeister as he has the highest Beyer speed figure (108) of any potential Derby starter this year.

Jens Von Lepel believes Bodemeister can adapt to the Derby style and distance coming slightly off the pace instead of setting it.  He would love to see his former resident between third and fifth heading up the backstretch, slightly different than his spring campaign where he was either first or second. 

He recalls a morning earlier this spring at Santa Anita when Bodemeister galloped one morning and came upon five thoroughbreds working on the rail.  Bodemeister ran up to and engaged the horses, running evenly before the rider pulled him up.   

“They send the best horses in the Derby.  The luckiest horse that day wins,” acknowledges Von Lepel knowing that talent alone isn’t enough to win the Derby.  “It still could be the best one but I would always say the luckiest one wins it.” 

Bodemeister as a weanling in an Audley paddock.

For Virginia racing and breeding, Audley’s appearance in the Triple Crown couldn’t come at a better time.  Last fall the farm of Virginia’s largest thoroughbred breeder was dispersed after its owner, Edward P. Evans passed away.  Audley is eager to fill part of that void more out of respect than rivalry.

“I think it was very sad for the whole industry because these kinds of people who have that kind of passion, we need,” says Von Lepel.  “Without passion, it doesn’t work.  If you find a person like Mr. Evans who had that passion, I think it’s wonderful.”

In fact, it was Evans in 2009 that would have ended the Virginia-bred drought in the Triple Crown with Quality Road.  Mike Battaglia, who set the morning line for the Kentucky Derby in 2009, said he would have made Quality Road the favorite before a quarter-crack forced his withdrawal five days before the race.  Evans won at the highest levels of racing but never in the Triple Crown.

Sir Barton stood (and still stands) at Audley Farm.

The Triple Crown is new territory for Audley Farm, despite being the home of the very stallion that founded it, Sir Barton.  Audley was the first place Sir Barton stood after his racing career.  The winner of 1919 Kentucky Derby, Preakness and Belmont Stakes stood at Audley long before the Triple Crown was conceived. 

Prior to Bodemeister, Audley’s most successful horse was likely the filly Mandy’s Gold, a grade one stakes winner who won 11 of her 22 starts.  Audley was Virginia’s breeder of the year in 1995, 1997 and 2002 before Evans moved his mares from Kentucky to his native Virginia.

Bodemeister as a yearling at Audley.

Bodemeister was purchased at Keeneland’s September 2010 yearling sale for $260,000 by Zayat Stables owned by Amed Zayat.  He didn’t race as a two-year old, something every Kentucky Derby winner has done since 1882, when Apollo won the Derby without a two-year old start.

“As a late April foal, Baffert thought he was not really ready.  He knew he had talent, just immature,” says Von Lepel. 

Bodemeister is sired by 2003 Belmont Stakes winner Empire Maker out of the Storm Cat mare Untouched Talent who has another Virginia-bred, Secretariat, that shows up in her lineage. 

Untouched Talent has a yearling by Smart Strike at Audley.

One of 16 broodmares, Untouched Talent loves to graze in the paddock just outside the historic Audley house and is now in foal to Unbridled Song.  Alongside is her weanling by Tiznow and across the road in another paddock is her yearling by Smart Strike.  After she foaled Bodemeister in 2008, the German veterinarian passed on breeding her in 2009.

A weanling by Tiznow circles Untouched Talent.

Eric Von Baumbach and Christophe Boehringer, two of the nine German heirs of Hubertus Liebrecht, who purchased the equine and cattle farm in 1978, continued to operate the equine portion of Audley Farm’s 2500 acres.  Von Lepel was the long-time breeding manager for Liebrecht in Germany.

One of many Audley scenescapes.

So, if you hear a tune coming from the upper Shenandoah Valley, no need for concern.  The hills are full with the sound of music.

VA-BRED STIRRED UP THIRD IN JEROME

THE LUMBER GUY (NYRA via The Paulick Report)

Trainer Bob Baffert had a remote chance to be the first trainer to enter two Virginia-breds in the Kentucky Derby or any Triple Crown race for that matter.  However, such a history-making event was predicated on a number of “ifs” -- if Va-bred Bodemeister finds his way to the starting gate in Louisville the first Saturday in May and if Va-bred Stirred Up (Lazy Lane Farm) could win the Jerome and earn enough money to possibly qualify to enter the Derby as well.

While the first option remains on track, Stirred Up will have to seek another path to stardom after The Lumber Guy beat Brigand by 2 3/4 lengths Saturday in the $200,000 Jerome Stakes Gr.2 at Aqueduct.  The favored Stirred Up rallied late to get third. 

The Lumber Guy (Grand Slam-Boltono, by Unbridled's Song) and Mike Luzzi broke alertly and was sent to the front where they were joined by Brigand. Those two set a swift pace on the front end as they opened up a four-length lead on the rest of the field. Term Loan tracked them in third, as the favorite, Virginia-bred Stirred Up, raced along in last early.

The Lumber Guy and Brigand continued to duel as they entered the far turn as the rest of the field began to cut into their lead. At the top of the stretch, Luzzi went to work aboard The Lumber Guy and the grey colt responded, eventually putting Brigand away in deep stretch and pulling away to win convincingly.

Stirred Up was literally a Derby longshot and was a more likely Preakness candidate, but it’s fun to speculate, and it’s nice to see two Virginia-breds contending on the road to the Triple Crown.
