I); Albaugh Family Stable's Brody's Cause, however, looks to be his best chance so far to win the classic. "They were all doing good, but they all had question marks," Romans said of his Derby runners that include third-place finishers Dullahan (2012) and Paddy O'Prado (2010), and fourth-placed Shackleford (2011). "This is my best shot. He is bred for a mile and a quarter, and he is a multiple grade I winner on dirt." A 3-year-old son of Giant's Causeway purchased for $350,000 at the 2014 Keeneland September yearling sale, Brody's Cause reinforced his status as one of the leading contenders for this year's Derby, accelerating to a 1 3/4-length victory over My Man (continued on page 2) BLOOD-HORSE DAILY The Official Partner Hotel of the K entucky Derby Inv ites you to Enjoy a Born & Bred R ace Experience For the Two Most Exciting Minutes in Sports!

I). The Blue Grass is the colt's second grade I victory—he won Keeneland's Breeders' Futurity last year—improving his record to 3-0-1 from six starts, with $1,123,138 in earnings. Bred by Gabriel Duignan, William Arvin Jr., and Petaluma Bloodstock in Kentucky, the colt was the second choice in the 14-horse Blue Grass field. Overseeing his vast stable of horses at Churchill the morning of April 12, Romans said he was not surprised by Brody's performance since the colt's greatest attribute is his "quick turn of foot." The trainer added, "This is a serious, serious racehorse. He does everything you want a horse to do." If anything, the second-generation trainer is surprised by the colt's third to eventual juvenile champion and current Derby favorite Nyquist in last year's Breeders' Cup Juvenile (gr. I) at Keeneland and his inexplicable seventh in the March 12 Tampa Bay Derby (gr. II). "We never could come up with an excuse for the Tampa Bay performance. I guess we'll just draw a line through it," Romans said. Although not as accomplished as his stablemate, Cherry Wine is 23rd on the Road to the Kentucky Derby points list and is also expected to make the Derby's 20-horse maximum field. "He's a solid horse who, if he gets in, will be competitive," Romans said. BH LATEST HEADLINES FROM BLOODHORSE.COM CASSE ADDS BREI HORSES TO HIS STABLE Trainer Mark Casse has confirmed that he has picked 14 horses from Fred Brei's Jacks or Better Farm.

Phipps served as chairman of The Jockey Club from 1983 to 2015, when Janney assumed the chairmanship. In 2015 TJC acquired a majority interest in Blood-Horse. Each man spoke of the devotion between Phipps and his wife, Andrea, detailing particularly her dedication and care while Phipps wrestled with a number of ailments during the last five years of his life. As part of the service, Phipps' son Ogden Phipps II read "The Fishermen's Prayer," which Dinny Phipps, an avid outdoorsman, suggested be included. I pray that I may live to fish Until my dying day. And when it comes to my last cast, I then most humbly pray: When in the Lord's great landing net And peacefully asleep That in His mercy I be judged Big enough to keep. BH SKIP DICKSTEIN he racing world was well represented April 12 at the funeral of Ogden Mills "Dinny" Phipps, held at St. James' Church on Manhattan's Upper East Side. Phipps died of pancreatic cancer April 6. Nearly filling the church, which accommodates 1,200 people, Phipps' friends and family celebrated his life and mourned his death in an Episcopalian service preceded by remembrances from friend and outdoorsman Carl Navarre, former New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg, and Phipps' cousin and partner Stuart Janney III. Together they created the image of a man devoted to his family and committed to integrity who harbored a sense of humor and fun that lurked close beneath a serious surface. Navarre told of meeting Phipps in 1975 as the guide on a Florida fishing trip during which they ran out of gas 30 miles off shore. With no radio and daylight fading, Phipps was unperturbed. "He sat back in the boat, lit a cigar, and said, 'You'll figure it out,' " recalled Navarre. Working for Phipps meant becoming a part of his family, he said, "He was a big man with a big heart. He was loved and revered." Although Phipps never had a horse that swept the Kentucky Derby (gr. I), the Preakness Stakes (gr. I), and the Belmont Stakes (gr. I), Bloomberg pointed out that he'd won a more important Triple Crown of family, business, and community. In particular, Bloomberg noted that horse racing was "cleaner, safer, and better in many ways" due to Phipps' contributions as an owner/breeder and as chairman of both the New York Racing Association and The Jockey Club. Speaking of their time together in New York and Florida, Bloomberg quipped that having a boat called Buckpasser was ironic for a man who, he said, "never passed the buck." Janney, with whom Phipps co-bred and -owned his only Kentucky Derby winner, Orb in 2013, observed that under Ogden Mills "Dinny" Phipps (left) and Stuart Janney III celebrating their 2013 Kentucky his cousin's stewardship, The Jockey Club Derby (gr.

Ashbrook Farm's Weep No More, who won a January maiden race and the Suncoast Stakes in February at Tampa, rallied to secure her first graded stakes victory in the Ashland (gr. I) at Keeneland. Later that afternoon Albaugh Family Stable's Brody's Cause bounced back from a seventh-place finish in the March 12 Tampa Bay Derby (gr. II) to win Keeneland's Blue Grass (gr. I). Repole Stable homebred Outwork, who finished second to stablemate Destin in the Tampa Bay Derby after winning a February allowance-level race at Tampa, secured his first graded stakes win in the Wood Memorial (gr.

Kid Cruz, a 5-year-old, won the 1 1/4-mile Excelsior (gr. III), and 6-year-old Salutos Amigos earned his first grade I win in the Carter Handicap. The 117 ESFs—a figure also earned by Calculator in his close runner-up Carter finish—topped this week's list. Kid Cruz may be heading for a strong 2016, as the son of Lemon Drop Kid has posted back to back 117s in his two starts this season. When Kid Cruz earned a 117 with his season-opening victory in the John B. Campbell Stakes at Laurel Park it matched his career-best.

But 83-year-old Hall of Fame trainer Ron McAnally summed it up in the winner's circle after the April 10 San Juan Capistrano Stakes (gr. IIIT) when he said of the winner, 8-year-old Quick Casablanca, "He's old, just like me." It was a rewarding victory for McAnally, coming on closing day of Santa Anita Park's winter/spring meeting, and fitting in several ways. McAnally made his reputation not only with the legendary John Henry but also with South American imports such as dual champions Bayakoa and Paseana, and, more recently, the brilliant Candy Ride. Quick Casablanca, a Chilean-bred, was 2012's Horse of the Year and champion 3-year-old male in his native land and a group I winner in Chile and Argentina. McAnally's brand is so strong he was given the bay son of Until Sundown by owner Pablo Gomez even though the two men have never met. "He just told me to do what I thought was right," said McAnally. Also, McAnally has specialized in two-turn runners and, in fact, was winning the marathon San Juan Capistrano for the fourth time, following Interaction (2013), Amerique (1998), and John Henry (1980). The race was lengthened a furlong this year to avoid running over a muddy stretch when the field crossed the main track. "He's an old pro," McAnally said of Quick Casablanca. "He's been to Chile and Argentina and New York and now California." The New York portion of Quick Casablanca's career came in 2013 when he was first imported and given to trainer Christophe Clement. "Clement said he didn't like the soft turf back there," said McAnally, who added with his trademark chuckle, "Well, it couldn't have been any softer than what we had here the other day." California had Quick Casablanca wins the 1 7/8-mile San Juan Capistrano with jockey Tyler Baze in the irons experienced an uncharacteristic deluge of rain in the days before the race. McAnally famously kept John Henry in top form through age 9 by working him in the afternoons between races when the gelding would get his competitive juices fired up. "Everyone thought we were showing off," said McAnally, "but he'd just lollygag around in the morning and you couldn't keep him fit unless you worked him between races. This horse here you can train like a younger horse. He does everything right." Quick Casablanca, whose bankroll now approaches $750,000, will get a rest before being pointed to either the Arlington Million XXXIV (gr. IT) or Del Mar Handicap (gr. IIT) in August.

By the order of Gov. Andrew Cuomo, NYRA has been under state control for more than three years. The board was required by statute to submit a reorganization plan to the state by the end of April, with state control due to expire in October. The NYRA board approved three options for reorganization, differing only in governance and the makeup of the next board. Under the first, a 15-person board would have 11 privately appointed and four publically appointed members—two by the governor and one each by the leaders of the state Senate and the Assembly. The second calls for a 15-person board composed only of private members.

Winner of the Juvenile Turf Stakes (Ire-III) at 2, he remained unraced since finishing third to Fascinating Rock (Fastnet Rock) last September in the Kllternan Stakes (Ire-III), John F. Kennedy is training well and is close to his return. "He's in great shape and looks like a good horse. We are thinking (about) a race next month, most probably, over a mile over turf," Lobo said. John F. Kennedy is a full brother to the brilliant Tapestry, while his third dam is Miesque (Nureyev)— because of horse's pedigree his new owners have Breeders' Cup day as a long-range target for this John F. Kennedy will be trained in California this year before beginning a South American stud career season and the hopes of making him an attractive Argentine stallion prospect.
