‘CHROME’ RETURNS AT PARX Steve Coburn and Perry Martin=s California Chrome(Lucky Pulpit) faces a strong field of eight foes as hemakes his racetrack return in today=s $1 million GI Pennsylvania Derby. The GI Kentucky Derby and GI Preakness S. herohas not been seensince finishing adisappointing dead-heatfourth in his TripleCrown try in the June7 GI Belmont S. Thechestnut homebredwas a perfect five-for-five in 2014 before theATest of theChampion,@ includingromping wins in the GII San Felipe S. inMarch and GI SantaAnita Derby in April going this 1 1/8-mile distance.California Chrome will be the first Kentucky Derbywinner to compete at the Bensalem oval after asuccessful run for the roses. AHe hasn=t changed awhole lot [since the Triple Crown],@ said Alan Sherman,assistant trainer to his father Art. AHis weight is justabout perfect and he=s so good mentally. He=s just acool horse to be around. It makes our job a lot easier.@ Kaleem Shah=s J “TDN Rising Star” J Bayern(Offlee Wild) also looks to reverse form after an off

effort. Ninth with arough trip in thePreakness, the darkbay bounced back toromp in the seven-furlong GII WoodyStephens S. by 7 1/2 lengths. Heaired by a similarmargin in the GI Haskell InvitationalS. July 27 over ninefurlongs at speed-

friendly Monmouth Park, but stopped to last in the Aug. 23 GI Travers S. after being hounded early byBelmont winner Tonalist (Tapit). The Bob Baffert pupilfired a five-furlong bullet in :58.60 at Santa Anita Sept.14, and it=s not a question of whether or not he=ll be infront, but merely how long that lead will last. AIf thereis any time to do it, it=d probably be now,@ Baffert=sassistant Jim Barnes said of taking on CaliforniaChrome. AHe is coming off a layoff...We=re ready totake him on.@ Cont. p4

UNTAPABLE HEADLINES STRONG COTILLION As many as nine sophomore fillies look to join a list ofwinners that includes the likes of Ashado (SaintBallado), Careless Jewel (Tapit),Havre de Grace (Saint Liam), MyMiss Aurelia (Smart Strike) andClose Hatches (First Defence) intoday=s GI Cotillion S. at Parx.The conversation has to startwith Winchell Thoroughbreds=leading lady Untapable (Tapit).The bay has been close tounbeatable against her own sexthis season, having taken the GIII Rachel Alexandra S. and GII Fair Grounds Oaks withdevastating ease before makingsimilarly easy work of the GI Kentucky Oaks May 2. Sheproved much too good for fourfoes in the GI Mother Goose S.at Belmont June 28, but settledfor fifth as the favorite last timewhen taking on the boys in theJune 27 GI Haskell Invitational S.With a 6-4-0-1 record at this 11/16-mile distance and the three fastest Beyer SpeedFigures in the field, the Steve Asmussen pupil iscertainly a formidable favorite.

The top two from that heat, as well as fourthfinisher Classic Giacnroll, were flattered when third-place Vicar=s In Trouble (Into Mischief) returned toromp in the GII Super Derby Sept. 6. Sumaya USStable=s Protonico is an up-and-coming sort for ToddPletcher.

She set the pace lasttime in the Aug. 23 GI BallerinaS., only to fade to fifth againbehind the romping ArtemisAgrotera (Roman Ruler).

Gallant Bloom cont.

That race came at seven panels, however, and a half-furlong cut-back and a return to Belmont--where LaVerdad is three-for-three--could do the trick."Obviously, she's run much better at Belmont than shedid at Saratoga," Rice noted. "I think in the [HonorableMiss] she was compromised by the mud and postposition [one]. In the [Ballerina], I don't think sevenfurlongs is her best distance. I think she prefersBelmont, and that could be enough to turn the resultsaround." Chester and Mary Broman=s Artemis Agrotera,winner of last year=s GI Frizette S. here as a juvenile,bounced back from a pair of lackluster efforts to crushstate-bred optional claimers by 10 1/4 lengths upstateJuly 23. She proved far too tough last time in theBallerina, airing by 6 1/2 lengths and earning a field=s-best 103 Beyer SpeedFigure. "When she hasgood energy, that's whenshe has performed well,"noted trainer MikeHushion of the expectedfavorite. "I thoughtrunning in the [GallantBloom] would be betterfor her [than training upto the Breeders' Cup]."Hushion also saddles thespeedy Bridgehampton(Bernardini), a clear winner of Parx=s May 24 My JulietS. who was last seen finishing fourth of four aftersetting the pace in the July 21 Shine Again S. atSaratoga. "I was trying to keep her at six furlongs, but Icouldn't get a race and ran out of options," saidHushion. William Parsons, Jr. and David Howe=s MerryMeadow (Henny Hughes) took the track-and-trip GIIIVagrancy H. here May 17. Beaten a nose in the GIII BedO= Roses H. June 21, she was third in the HonorableMiss. "[Merry Meadow] is pretty reliable," offeredconditioner Mark Hennig. "Obviously, [ArtemisAgrotera] is coming off a pretty big effort, but [MerryMeadow] always runs well and she likes this track."

BURN THE TURF Newbury plays host to the sprinting juveniles today,with Qatar Racing and Meikle Ben Stables= Strath Burn(GB) (Equiano {Fr}) bidding to cement his burgeoningreputation in the G2 Dubai Duty Free Mill Reef S.Following a clear-cut maiden success on debut over five

AThisrace has always beenthe plan, as we werekeen not to over-racehim this season,@ trainerCharlie Hills told PASport. AHe=s a horse we

really like and he=ll be even better next season. We=vebeen pleased with his work at home and he looks tohave a nice chance.@ Unbeaten so far and the last rivalto get the better of Strath Burn=s classy stablecompanion Cotai Glory (GB) (Exceed and Excel {Aus}) isPaul Jacobs= Limato (Ire) (Tagula {Ire}), who was clearlythe better of the two when they clashed in the ListedRose Bowl S. over this track and trip last time July 18.After being forced to sidestep the G2 Gimcrack S. atYork last month due to a bad scope, conditioner HenryCandy is taking a cautious approach. AHis form is goodand he=s obviously a good horse,@ he told PA Sport.AHe=s had two courses of antibiotics and his traininghas been a bit stop-start, so I=d just be a bit worried inthat regard. He seems well now, but you=d just have tobe a little worried how much it has affected him. Imustn=t be too downbeat, though, as he=s a veryexciting horse.@ The unexposed types will be tested bySheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed Al Maktoum=s JungleCat (Ire) (Iffraaj {GB}), who has been either second orthird in four consecutive Group 2 races, and also AlShaqab Racing=s June 19 G2 Norfolk S. scorer BaithaAlga (Ire) (Fast Company {Ire}). Inexplicably poor whenlast of nine in the Gimcrack in the interim Aug. 23,trainer Richard Hannon is hoping for a return to his priorbest from the colt, who is forced to carry a penalty forhis Royal Ascot exploits. ANothing came to light as towhy Baitha Alga ran so poorly in the Gimcrack, but wehave suffered some surprise reverses in 2-year-oldraces at York before and just put it down to a bad dayat the office,@ he commented. AThat is the only blip onhis CV--his overall form is very sound and he is a realprofessional so, despite the 3-pound penalty, we feelthat he will run his race. He worked very nicely underKieran O=Neill on Tuesday, switching off beautifully,which he didn=t do at York.@

‘FAST’ PACE PROBABLE IN GALLANT BOB Today=s GIII Gallant Bob S. could set up for a closeras a number of speedy sophomores line up in the six-panel test. Frank Calabrese homebred Fast Anna(Medaglia d=Oro) figures to takesome beating as long as hedoesn=t exert himself too muchearly. The son of championDreaming of Anna was an easywinner of the first two starts ofhis career at Gulfstream, andnearly ran away with the GI King=sBishop S. at Saratoga Aug. 23,only to get reeled in on the wireby J “TDN Rising Star” J TheBig Beast (Yes It=s True). TrainerKathy Ritvo takes blinkers off FastAnna for this, and the cut back tosix furlongs from seven shouldalso help the favorite carry hisspeed. Second choice on themorning line at 5-2 is fellow J “Rising Star” J Favorite Tale(Tale of the Cat). A perfect three-for-three over thisstrip to kick off his career, the PJG Stables colorbearerannexed Belmont=s May 4 Gold Fever S. over PureSensation (Zensational), but faded to 13th behindBayern (Offlee Wild) in the June 7 GII Woody StephensS. He just missed against subsequent GII Amsterdam S.winner Coup de Grace (Tapit) in Delaware=s July 5 OhSay S., and was a head third in Saratoga=s grassy QuickCall S. July 24 behind the aforementioned PureSensation. The Guadalupe Preciado trainee was lastseen finishing a close second to Prudhoe Bay(Songandaprayer) after covering more ground than thatrival in Monmouth=s Aug. 16 GIII Jersey Shore S.Patricia Generazio homebred Pure Sensation has provensurprisingly rateable in two turf tries this summer--mostrecently a third in the one-mile Better Talk Now S. atthe Spa Aug. 20--and would be well-served employingsimilar tactics back on the dirt here. TK Stables LLC=sBump Start (Jump Start) is the only confirmed closer inthe field, and is two-for-two in dirt sprints.

THE CHENES GANG France=s elite juveniles are beginning to build towardstheir all-important autumn targets, with today=s G3 Prixdes Chenes at Longchamp the first pointer for the G1 Criterium International, and as usual, it is to AndreFabre that all refer as the record-holding trainer looksfor an eighth edition. Of his pair, RashitShaykhutdinov=s De Treville (GB) (Oasis Dream {GB})has yet to disappoint, and the 850,000gns son of thehigh-class Dar Re Mi (GB) (Singspiel {Ire}) will remainexciting until his fortunes dip. With just a seven-furlongmaiden win to his name at Chantilly July 17, he has alot to prove but has the pedigree to hit the heights andis in the right hands to be guided in that direction.Interestingly, the rival that De Treville had back insecond last time was beaten out of sight byJean-Claude Seroul=s Evasive=s First (Fr) (Evasive {GB})in the Listed Prix des Jouvenceaux des Jouvencellesover seven furlongs at Vichy Aug. 2, and he sets amarginal standard.

Stretching out and trying two turns for connections who have known plenty of success with this sire, the homebred was the 9-2 fourth choice and settled towards the back of the pack behind a good pace for the opening three-quarters of a mile. He followed the move of favored Golden Gint (Medaglia d=Oro) around the second turn and switched outside of that one at the quarter pole, but was six or seven deep into the stretch. He kept to his task and was gaining on the leaders late when Luis Garcia was forced to take evasive action due to some bumping to his inside. Set to Music looked ticketed for a minor award, but dug in gamely and nabbed Golden Gint by a head on the line. Racing in the colors of her breeder Mike Pegram, Pussycat Doll followed in the hoofprints of her dam, Hookedonthefeelin (Citidancer), by winning the GI La Brea S. at the end of her 3-year-old season.

MIKE MAYO (1954-2014)by Keith Chamblin, NTRA Mike Mayo, a handicapping tournament mainstay andthe longtime Chairman of the NHC Players= Committee,passed away Thursday, September 18 after a briefillness. Mike and his wife, Marsha, were familiar facesat racetracks and handicapping tournaments around thecountry, including at the NHC, where he was a 10-timequalifier. Beyond the pari-mutuel windows and out of sightfrom most tournament players, Mike had a lasting andprofound impact onthe development andgrowth of the NHC,handicappingtournament play andThoroughbred horseracing in general. As Chairman of theNHC Players=Committee, Mike wasa tireless advocate for the horseplayer and a staunchbeliever that the NHC could help grow the popularity ofhorse racing. The Players= Committee serves as a voicefor all NHC tournament players and assists the NTRAwith the establishment of NHC rules, formats andprocedures. Under Mike=s steady hand, the committeehelped set the stage for the 2008 launch of the NHCTour, which connects tournaments through a pointssystem and prize money. The Tour has helped fuelrecord participation in NHC tournaments and recordpurses at the NHC, which began in 2000 with a purseof $192,000 and this January will offer a purse of wellover $2 million. Mike was a longtime proponent of a AFinal Table@format for the NHC. His vision become reality earlierthis year when the NHC instituted a @Final 50@ andAFinal Table.@ By all accounts, the result was the mostexciting NHC in the event=s 15-year history. Severalyears ago, Mike sent a letter to the NTRA formallyrequesting that the organization appoint a horseplayerto its Board of Directors. Mike felt strongly thathorseplayers, whose wagering dollars fuel every aspectof the industry, deserved a seat and voice at the table.In August, Judy Wagner became the first horseplayerelected to serve on the 13-member NTRA Board. Funeral arrangements for Mike are still pending,however, Mike did make it clear that he was not a bigfan of flowers. He asked that horseplayers and friendsconsider a contribution to Old Friends retirement farm,to go toward the care of the beautiful animals thatbrought him so much pleasure.

everything wrong at Salisbury--she wasn=t veryprofessional there and she idled in front,@ jockeyRichard Hughes commented. AShe did that today aswell, but at least went down lovely and quiet. She is avery good filly who goes with a good bit of cut in theground and is like Tiggy Wiggy, as she runs hard.@Hughes noted that a last-minute change in tactics wasemployed. AWe were going to drop her in today, but Ilanded two clear so it was a case of plan B, and Iwaited for the runner-up to come to me.

RICARDO VS BASE: MUCH MORE THAN ACHAMPIONS CHALLENGEBy Diego Mitagstein Jorge Ricardo vs. Russell Baze--the two winningestjockeys of all time were to finally meet. It was Thursday, at Cristal, Porto Alegre, the thirdracetrack in hierarchy of Brazil, where the Jockey Clubof Rio Grande do Sul prompted one of the most

transcendental eventsof the season. JorgeRicardo beat RussellBaze in the ChampionsChallenge, butfocusing on that factwould take away froma show full of nobility. "[I am proud to]have been able toconfront a jockey ofthe talent of Russell,the winningest of all,@said Ricardo. AAnd also

to do so here, at Cristal, the racetrack where Antonio,my father, began [his career] as a jockey, which wouldmark me as an athlete to continue this profession that Ienjoy so much." The idea for the Champions Challenge was taken upby the Jockey Club of Rio Grande do Sul, and ended uppaying huge dividends, with 4000 people filling thefacilities; an impressive figure, considering the GrandePremio Bento Goncalves, the local Breeders' CupClassic, attracts around 7,000. Everything was put together to try to get to the fifthand final race of the challenge with a flush markerbetween the local idol and the Canadian-born, Americanrider. The start was ideal for the North American, whowon the first race with Ricardo back in fourth, but inthe second race, Ricardo finished second with hisadversary in fourth. Baze emerged victorious in the thirdevent, while Ricardo finished ahead in the fourth.Ricardo emerged victorious again in the final event totake home the trophy. Madness invaded Cristal, and thecelebration of the public praising the idol was enoughto cause goosebumps.
