QUOTE OF THE DAY
“I like when he leaves his clothes, that means he’s coming back.”
Valet Harry Rice, after Hall of Fame jockey Mike Smith
left some clothes behind after winning the Alabama POETRY CORNER
From faithful reader and horseplayer Peter Finley:
If I could talk to a horse
I would win more often, of course
If I could talk to a horse
“Is today your day?”
“No, and forget about betting the farm”
I would be a rich man
If the two of us could converse
But it’s not practical, you understand
’Cus it would make both of us hoarse

The Chief . . . Day 24
“When I used to let up on Shine Again, she’d break out in bumps,
which doesn’t make any sense at all but I’ve watched it. Classy Mirage
did that, too. You hate to waste a horse, say you weren’t going to run
her for another six weeks. You figure you’re not going to keep drilling
her, that’s when she’d get the bumps. Years ago, when we used to back
off a horse we used to not feed them much grain. Maybe that’s the
trouble, we feed them the same. I don’t, though. (Charlie) Whittingham told me, ‘Nah, I give ’em the same, I want ’em to get built up.’
Did you ever meet him? Some guy. Jimmy said he talked to him for
10 minutes and he could realize why he was so great. Lazaro was no
slouch either. Lazaro Barrera.”

with Rick Violette
Every day at Saratoga, The Special
presents an exclusive Stable Tour
with a Saratoga trainer.
disappointing. We’ll try her again before we
leave. Little princess.”
Kathy’s Humor: New York-bred 4-year-old
As training hours wrapped up
Aug. 19, Rick Violette sits in his office in the middle of Barn 19 just off
the three-quarter-pole gap of the main
track at Saratoga Race Course.
Stable staffers rake the paths that
wind through the grass area outside
the shedrow, keeping everything
neat and tidy, stools are washed and
stacked next to the sprayed down
wash pad, polos wrapped and awaiting their next ride. Stall guards hang
with matching crisscrossed black and
light blue runners above as horses
gaze out at sets from other barns going to and returning from the main
track.
The Morning Line kitchen bustles with activity, tourists and horsemen grabbing a coffee or tea to get
through the morning.
Violette’s Saratoga string is dispersed with 22 horses in Barn 19,
eight in neighboring barn 16 and
an ever-changing number across the
street at the harness track. The stable
is winless from 13 starts through the
first 28 days of the meeting, but has
two seconds and three thirds. Three
of the placings have come in graded
stakes.
“We tend to like most of our horses,” Violette said. “If they try, we like
them.”
8
Violette’s background is in the
hunter/jumper world and he started
training Thoroughbreds more than
30 years ago. In addition to his duties
at the barn and the races, Violette has
served as president of the New York
Thoroughbred Horsemen’s Association since 2008.
Violette hosted The Special’s Shayna Tiller for a stroll through his two
barns on the main track.
Olive Branch: Ralph Evans’ 2-year-old
Speightstown filly gazed out of her corner
stall, watching horses return to their barns following morning workouts. She finished fifth
in Grade 3 Schuylerville July 22 and third in
Grade 2 Adirondack Aug. 19. “Little tiny. She
did (run well). Just buried on the inside, we
never got clear. She settled, and broke really
well. Jose (Ortiz) rode really well, third in a
graded race is important for fillies, especially with her pedigree. It’s too close to come
back and do the Spinaway, I think the Frizette
could certainly be part of the plan. I’m going
to breeze her on the grass because she has
some turf pedigree and give that a shot, kind
of follow her lead. Miss cutie pie.”
Bea Bea: The petite gray City Zip filly,
seventh in a maiden-claimer Aug. 11 and a
2014 Fasig-Tipton October graduate, stood
with her head behind the hanging Jolly Ball,
twisting her neck for attention as the trainer
approached. “I own half of her (with Eclipse
Thoroughbred Partners). She’s a 3-year-old.
She ran earlier in the meet and was a little
tered Friday). He and Samraat are owned by
Len Riggio (My Meadowview Farm), who’s the
CEO of Barnes & Noble.”
Justenuffhumor filly finished seventh in Aug.
7 allowance, following a second in a similar
allowance at Belmont June 16. “She tied up on
us in her last race. She was disappointing but
fortunately it was only that. Actually, she’s going to breeze soon and we’ll see where we are.
We’re right on the cusp, if things go perfectly
she will (make another start at the meet).”
Jo’s Bold Cat: Stretching and twisting for
pats, James Nolan’s homebred son of Courageous Cat finished second in a July 29 maiden
race. “New York-bred 2-year-old got beat a
lip opening week here his first time out. He’s
doing great. He’ll run back. Pretty cool horse,
came to us a little scatter-brained and he’s actually kind of a different horse now.”
Random Walk: Also owned by Evans and
Samraat: A veteran of the 2014 spring clas-
a Fasig-Tipton July 2015 graduate, the son
of Super Saver finished second in Grade 3
Sanford Stakes July 23. “This is a nice horse,
broke his maiden first time out very impressively at Belmont, and then was second in the
Sanford opening weekend. He isn’t very big
and he’s grown. He was tiny. Hopefully he’ll
make the Hopeful.”
Diversify: A $150,000 buy at the 2014
Fasig-Tipton Saratoga New York-bred sale,
3-year-old Bellamy Road gelding extended his
neck and nudged his trainer for some attention. “This is a colt owned by WinStar. He won
his first time out going a mile (at Belmont July
14) and hopefully he’ll run by the end of the
meet here. He broke his maiden right before
we came up here, he ran very fast and looks
like he’s a nice horse. Very kind, likes attention.”
Deuces High: My Meadowview Farm’s
homebred Noble Causeway colt finished seventh in the New York Derby at Finger Lakes
July 23. “He won his first time out going a
mile-and-a-sixteenth and we had him in the
New York Derby and probably were too aggressive with him. We’ll come back down to
earth and put him in an a-other-than (he’s en-
sics, My Meadowview Farm homebred son of
Noble Causeway finished second in Grade 3
Westchester May 7, fourth in Grade 2 Brooklyn Invitational June 11 and second in Grade 2
Suburban July 9. “Just breezed a mile actually, he went great. A mile in (1:41.44) and went
very, very well. We’re planning on running
him in the Woodward. He got beat a lip in the
Suburban, Effinex beat him literally a lip. He’s
a pretty cool horse. Won the Withers and the
Gotham as a 3-year-old and had some physical issues that we gave him quite a bit of time
off for. He’s come back and he’s a neat horse.”
Pocket Player: A $40,000 buy at last year’s
Fasig Tipton Saratoga New York-bred yearling
sale, son of Afleet Alex breezed a half in :50.22
Saturday. Violette reached to stroke the colt’s
head and he snapped at him. “Oh, didn’t train
you hard enough today? He’s a bit of a punk
(in a good way). He went a half-mile this
morning with Muselet.”
Muselet: Unraced 3-year-old daughter of
Flatter has breezed five times at Saratoga,
including Saturday’s half-mile with Pocket
Player. “She’s a Flatter filly that hasn’t run yet.
A muselet, I didn’t know what that was. So I
called the owner and it’s the wire cap of a cork

in a champagne bottle. We’re trying to make it;
she just went a half-mile this morning. Without
it being goose bumps it was good, hopefully
we’ll make a race by the end of the meet.”

Upstart: The 4-year-old Flatter ridgling exits
back-to-back thirds in Grade 1 Metropolitan and
Whitney. Purchased at the 2013 Fasig-Tipton
New York-bred sale here, the dark bay sticks
just the tip of his tongue out as he extends his
muzzle, seeking a pat on the face. “He will take
a finger, be careful. He lulls you into a stupor.
He’s doing great, we’re probably going to skip
the Woodward with him and go to the Kelso. He
is a goofball – he all of a sudden just stares at
nothing in the air and stares away. He’ll be in the
starting gate and there’ll be horses flying out of
it and he’s just looking up there, oblivious to it.”

5 furlongs from the gate in 1:01.87 Friday.
“He’ll run up here. He’s doing well, broke out of

Core Portfolio: The Haynesfield colt, twice

here. He’s won a couple of races and has been
to a couple of racetracks he wasn’t too fond of.
So we’ll give him another chance.”

Moss Code meets
crowded field of 10
in marathon turf test
BY LINZAY MARKS
Sometimes a non-traditional approach is just
what it takes to get the most of out a horse. That
said, if you ask Niall Saville about the program for
his starter in today’s 1 5/8-mile John’s Call Stakes
on the turf, which includes dressage, jumping, and
lots of hill work, he’ll tell you it’s just part of the
usual routine.

John’s Call –
“He’s not a special-case program
here at Fair Hill. Maybe slightly different than being stuck in Belmont
for example,” Saville said this week
about Moss Code’s training regimen.
The 4-year-old Congrats gelding
came to Saville and his wife Rosella
in February after Irv Naylor claimed
him for $50,000 at Gulfstream Park
to add another hurdle prospect to his
successful steeplechase operation.
“He was a nice horse when we got
him,” said Rosella, who works closely with her husband. “He was pretty
straightforward.”
Niall Saville said Moss Code was
on his radar for about six months before the claim.
“We ran one the same day he was
at Belmont,” he said of a start at Belmont in July 2015. “So, he popped on
the radar there and Mr. Naylor asked
me to look for a couple of horses that
would make jumpers in the future. I
thought he was a good looking horse,
well put together, thought he’d make
a nice hurdler. But in the mean time
I thought we could win a few races
with him. He fit the bill for Mr. Naylor so that’s why I took him.
“They paid a lot of money for him
originally, he’s well-bred and has an
awful lot of class. That’s what I look
for when I claim, because if you can
figure out the key to them, they come
good for you. I think quite highly of
him to be honest.”
Out of the Housebuster mare Fun
Project, Moss Code sold to owner
Mossarossa for $190,000 at the 2014
Keeneland April 2-year-olds sale. The
chestnut was unsuccessful in 10 starts
before being claimed.
Moss Code won first time out for
the Saville team April 15 at Aqueduct
going 1 1/16 miles.
“I was actually very, very high on
him winning up at Aqueduct, I was
going to be surprised if he got beat,”
Saville said. “He’d improved so
much.”
The original plan following the
claim was to run Moss Code back
at Gulfstream, but an outbreak of
equine herpes outbreak prevented
them from leaving their winter base
at Payson Park.

John’s Call –
“He worked out pretty nicely for us really, we
took him to Payson Park to fiddle around with him
for a few months and make tweaks,” Saville said.
“The quarantine gave me a little extra time to figure
him out. He got better and better.”
The tweaks include dressage work.
“He just had a bit of an awkward head carriage,
when he was running his races, carried his head
a bit high,” Saville said. “So we worked on him.
Teaching him how to use himself the right way. He
had a bit of a sore back from the way he was carrying his head, so we just got him going a bit better
that way.”
Rosella is often the one at Maryland’s Fair Hill
Training Center to make sure his flatwork and
mind stay correct.
Moss Code also schools over jumps occasionally
and Rosella described him as “a nice ride and just
a cool horse to take out and hack around. If he’s
happy we’re happy.”
In addition to the dressage and jumping, the future hurdler gets plenty of time outside.
“We make use of the hills, you know, I don’t actually think he has a huge amount of works because
he does a lot out in the back fields here, you can’t
really clock those. It helps him,” Niall said.
Keeping things fresh seems to work for Moss
Code. He’s won twice in three starts for the Savilles.
The loss – a fourth in a 1 1/16-mile allowance May
8 at Belmont Park – is one to put a strike through,
Saville said.
“I had a setback,” he said. “Ran him on soft
ground his second race at Belmont. He came out of
there muscle sore, it was a mistake running. I didn’t
realize how soft the ground was, he was actually
meant to go in the 1 1/4-mile race the week before,
but it didn’t go.”
After a bit of time off, Moss Code returned July
27 at Delaware Park. He won that race going 1
mile and 70 yards, getting up in the final strides to
nip Tobias by a nose.
Saville also thought he’d run Moss Code long,
but the John’s Call wasn’t originally part of the
gelding’s summer schedule. Saville entered him in
a 1 1/16-mile allowance-optional on the grass Sunday at Laurel Park.
Moss Code was on the also-eligible list for the
Laurel race and scratched when the race was taken
off the turf.
“This wasn’t on the agenda,” he said. “I would
have liked to ease into going longer – I wanted to
run him. He’s ready to go and this race (John’s Call)
was coming up, I didn’t think it was particularly
tough. I don’t know if he’s quite ready mentally to
go this long yet, but I don’t think stamina will be
an issue for him.
Another of the John’s Call entrants with connections to the steeplechase world is Rum Tum Tugger.
Trained by Hall of Famer Jonathan Sheppard,
Rum Tum Tugger is experienced at distance races
up to 2 miles and winning at 1 1/2 and 1 3/8 miles.
The 7-year-old Afleet Alex gelding last ran Aug. 12
at Saratoga, finishing third by 6 3/4 lengths going
1 3/8 miles.
“(He’s training) quite well, the races are a little
close together,” Sheppard said. “But you know he’s
an older horse, he’s pretty tough and he takes care
of himself. I don’t think it’s going to be a problem.
And he seems very good in his training. I’m happy with him. He’s a solid horse and he likes the
long-distance races.”
The field for the $100,000 John’s Call also includes the first four finishers from the 1 1/2-mile
Cape Henlopen at Delaware Park July 9 – Renown
for trainer Elizabeth Voss, Street Fashion for Graham Motion, Biz The Nurse for Tom Albertrani
and Set To Music for Arnaud Delacour.
Trainer Mike Maker won last year’s John’s Call
with Da Big Hoss and is back to defend with Procurement, who won a $25,000 claiming race on the
grass at Saratoga July 23.
Mr Maybe, winner of last year’s Grade 3 Red
Smith for trainer Chad Brown, is the 8-5 favorite
on the morning line. He comes in off back-to-back
defeats in the Grade 2 Mac Diarmida at Gulfstream
and the Grade 1 United Nations at Monmouth
Park. My Afleet and Beidermeier complete the field.
The Nick Esler-trained Swear By It is expected to
scratch.

Time And Motion avenges losses to Catch A Glimpse in turf stakes
Time And Motion (left) kicks away from Catch A Glimpse in Sunday’s Lake Placid.
BY BRANDON VALVO
LAKE PLACID STAKES RECAP
Rain fell steadily as trainer Jimmy Toner made
his way to the winner’s circle after Sunday’s Lake
Placid Stakes. He didn’t have a coat or an umbrella,
just a set of binoculars draped over his shoulder.
More droplets soaked into his suit with each step,
but the weather couldn’t dampen the grin on his
face.
He beamed with a mix of happiness, relief and
excitement as Phillips Racing Partnership representative Debbie Phillips greeted him and they watched
their horse, Time And Motion, return victorious.
Time And Motion’s win was a pivotal moment
at the meet for Toner, who recorded his first victory
in seven starts after narrowly losing a photo in the
Grade 1 Diana with Recepta July 23. Recepta fractured her pelvis while galloping two weeks later,
forcing an early end to her racing career.
“This is for Recepta,” an emotional Toner said.
Although sent off as the public’s 8-5 second
choice, Time And Motion was an underdog in the
$300,000 stakes as Catch A Glimpse sought to remain undefeated on turf in her 10th start. She beat
Time And Motion last time in the Grade 1 Belmont
Oaks Invitational July 9 and last fall in the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf at Keeneland. Last
time, Time And Motion started 6 lengths behind
the speedy Catch A Glimpse and lost by a halflength. A change of tactics helped put the daughter
of Tapit in the Lake Placid winner’s circle.
“We had to be close and we had to keep her in
contention,” Toner said. “There’s no way you’re going to make up 5, 6 lengths on (Catch A Glimpse).
You had to be on her tail the whole way.”

Tod Marks
Catch A Glimpse broke on top of the 1 1/8-mile
Lake Placid while jockey John Velazquez placed
Time And Motion just behind her at the rail. While
Catch A Glimpse set fractions of :23.44 and :48.58
over the wet going, officially listed as firm, Time
And Motion stalked 2 lengths behind.
Catch A Glimpse continued her front-running
mission through three-quarters in 1:12.78, but
Velazquez revved up Time And Motion, guiding
her to the outside and pushing her to pick up the
tempo. Although briefly gathered up at the quarter
pole as she slid on the soggy grass, Time And Motion continued her pursuit undaunted.
Catch A Glimpse cut the corner and turned for
home on a clear lead. Still 1 1/2 lengths behind with
a furlong to run, Velazquez hit Time And Motion
right-handed, then switched left as they reeled in the

leader, slowly but surely. Time And
Motion struck the lead a few strides
from the wire and won by a neck in
1:48.39, ending Catch A Glimpse’s
dominant streak on the turf. European import Diamond Fields finished
third at 23-1.
“The thing was last time, I should
have stayed behind her and trusted
my horse a little bit more,” Velazquez
said. “By the five-sixteenths pole, I
thought if I try to stay behind them,
they’re going squeeze me, so I started easing out from behind both of the
horses and by the quarter pole (I lost)
3 lengths to go around two horses
and by the time I came back, I just
missed it. Today, the difference was I
stayed right behind her.”
Ever humble, Toner praised the
runner-up.
“She don’t quit, boy she’s tough
that filly Catch A Glimpse,” Toner
said. “We were life and death to get
by her and we did, but I’ll tell you,
that other filly is something else here.”
Toner doesn’t think the softer

ground made a difference in the outcome. If anything, the rain made it
harder for Time And Motion to sustain
her run at a critical point in the race.
“(Catch A Glimpse) beat me on soft
ground in the Breeders’ Cup, so every
time I look for something to beat her,
I couldn’t find anything,” he said. “I
don’t think the track helped. In fact,
she slid a little bit about the quarter
pole. Slid out, lost her traction.”
The John Phillips-led Phillips Racing Partnership bred and owns Time
And Motion, and has regularly campaigned top-class females (Grade 1
Winter Memories among them) with
Toner. The 3-year-old filly is out of Ellie’s Moment, who the Phillipses and
Toner campaigned to six wins and
$291,241 in earnings from 2000 to
2003.
“Ellie’s Moment was a nice little
filly that was very consistent,” Toner
said. “Wasn’t quite a top-notch filly,
but she tried very hard every time sheran. The odd thing was, she only won
on the grass once and it was here.”
Time And Motion earned her
fourth victory in the Grade 2 Lake
Placid and her first graded stakes win.
She’s earned $623,150 in eight starts.
Debbie Bower, John Phillips’ sister, remembers watching Time And
Motion as a young horse and seeing
something special.
“I just remember looking at her as
a yearling and she reminded me of a
horse we had, Memories Of Silver,
and Time And Motion won the Memories Of Silver (Stakes), which was
really fun,” she said. “She has beautiful markings on her head and very
elegant.”
Phillips Racing Partnership is
a family endeavor led by Debbie’s
brother, John. Although he couldn’t
be at Saratoga Sunday, Debbie shared
early memories of attending the races
with her grandfather, the legendary
owner and breeder John Galbreath of
Darby Dan Farm.
“I remember at a young age with
my grandfather coming here and going to Hialeah and Belmont for Little
Current and all of Grandpa’s horses,
so we’ve all had a love for it and I just
am the lucky one today who’s here,
but I know my brother is so sad he’s
not here,” she said. “We’re very fortunate that we kept it going for 30
years because of John. We’re just really excited and we’re in it to play the
game and hopefully be able to have
some good successes.”
SUNDAY RACING RECAP

Le Grand Warrior
gives Pinnacle Farm
first Saratoga victory
The team from Pinnacle Farms Racing came up
just short of winning the partnership’s first race at
Saratoga Race Course in Sunday’s third as Saratoga
Charlie lost the lead in the stretch to longshot Bold
Illusion.
The loss was understandably disappointing, but
the group bounced back and secured its Saratoga
victory five hours later when homebred 2-year-old
Le Grand Warrior led every step to win the finale. The son of Majestic Warrior, trained by Tom
Morley, won the 5 ½-furlong maiden race for New
York-breds after it was taken off the turf about
three hours before post time due to rain.
The switch to the main track frustrated some,
but not the Pinnacle Racing group.
“When they took the races off the turf,” said
Charles Barringer of Pinnacle Farms, “I jumped up
and down.”
The rest of the Pinnacle group jumped up and
down, hugged and high-fived after Le Grand Warrior broke much sharper Sunday compared to his
lackluster debut July 28. The chestnut colt was
situated between horses while involved in a threehorse duel for the lead up the backstretch. Possibly
in response to his experience earlier in the day with
Le Grand Warrior’s half-brother Saratoga Charlie,
Barringer got a bit nervous when he saw his horse
vying for the lead.
“I patted my head and said, ‘no, no…don’t put
him on the lead,’ ” Barringer said.
Le Grand Warrior shrugged off his two challengers around the turn, drew off and was well clear of
Fled at the finish.
Post time for the 11th was 6:55 on a wet and
dreary Sunday, but the excitement from the Pinnacle team lit up the grandstand.
Le Grand Warrior is out of the Roaring Fever
mare Roaring Ghost, purchased by Pinnacle as a
yearling for $7,000 in 2007. Roaring Ghost won
three races and earned $94,720.

Le Grand Warrior throws mud at the pack to win Sunday’s finale.
• Owner Daniel Stone saw something in skittish, accident-prone Bold Illusion that made him
encourage trainer Kerry Metivier to keep trying.
The 4-year-old bay gelding, who was 0-for-10 coming into the third, finally proved to his trainer that
Stone was right.
“They just wanted to keep me trying because
they knew something was in there that was special,”
Metivier said after Bold Illusion won the 6-furlong
state-bred maiden claimer. “Finally everything just
came together and he got a good trip and wins by
a length.”
Bold Illusion’s quirky personality created a difficult training project for Metivier, who was ready
to give up on the gelding’s career. Stone never lost
faith and urged Metivier to persevere.
“He just had a rough go of it as a young horse
and we’ve been really nurturing him along,” Metivier said. “He’s a walking disaster area, every chance
he gets, he gets hurt. But not on the racetrack. In
the stall, in the round pen, so just getting him
here and getting him to feel good makes us
feel great.
“I quit on this horse four times, and the
owner said ‘No, you can’t quit, you’ve got
to keep trying.’ It was just a very long road.
He was always a little bit skittish in the starting gate, he’s always a very nervous type of
horse. Like I said every time I throw up my
hands, the answer is ‘You’ve got to work
harder, I know there’s something in there.’ ”
Metivier praised the ride from Samuel
Camacho Jr., who made a strong closing run
to beat Saratoga Charlie by a length. The win
was Metivier’s first of the meet and Camacho’s first at Saratoga.
“I’m really happy that he got that because
he deserves it,” Metivier said of Camacho.
“He works very hard, he comes out in the
morning and whatever he can do, he says ‘let
me breeze some horses, Kerry, let me get on
these horses.’ ”

Sunday –
Metivier gave Camacho specific
instructions about keeping the horse
calm pre-race.
“I told Sam, ‘You have to handle
him in the starting gate, because he’s
very nervous. Stroke him and then
don’t break on top, because there’s
three first-time starters in here, they’re
going to want to go,’ ” the trainer
said. “And that’s exactly what the kid
did. I’m really happy for him.”
Camacho beamed on his walk back
to the jocks’ room after his first Saratoga win aboard the 53-1 longshot.
“That’s my first time in Saratoga.
Oh my God, I feel so excited,” he
said. ”I win my first race. Thank God.
Thank you to the trainer and thank
you to all the connections.”
Camacho started his career in
his native Venezuela before coming
to the U.S. in 2011. He first rode in
New York as an apprentice in 2012,
the same year he won 40 races and
$1,504,583 in purses.

• Security Risk gave Phipps Stable its first victory of the meet in the
fourth, a 1 1/16-mile allowance on
the turf.
“This is actually the first out of our
barn that’s won,” said Ogden Phipps
II, on hand with other members of
his family. “It’s the first meet up here
without my dad and things are a little
different, the whole family is up here
and I’ve been up here at times. We’re
having a great time all being together.
It means a lot to us to all be here and
watch our horses run good and we’re
looking forward to a good second
half of the meet as well.”
Phipps lost his father, Ogden Mills
“Dinny” Phipps, this spring after he
lost a battle with pancreatic cancer at
age 75.
“My sister Daisy and I have really
taken responsibility for the stable, but
really we have an unbelievable team
that does everything and we’re here
to enjoy it and help out when needed, but in terms of the day to day it’s
been my sister and I,” Phipps said.
“We wish it wasn’t the case, but we
feel privileged and honored to have
the opportunity to keep it going.”
Phipps said he’s been coming to
Saratoga for as long as he can remem-

ber. His responsibilities at the private
equity firm Snow Phipps don’t allow
him to be in Saratoga every day, but
he’s made the most of his trip so far
this summer.
“I have a job in New York and I’m
back here on the weekends,” he said.
“I’m up here for a nice 10-day stretch
right now and I’ve been up here every
weekend. My sister Daisy has been up
here a lot for the first 17 days or so.
We’ve been tag-teaming it a little and
it’s been great.”
Trainer Shug McGaughey was
happy to deliver a victory with Phipps
on hand.
“Good to win a race for them here,
especially when all the kids are here.
It’s fun,” he said.
Security Risk, a 4-year-old son of
War Front, made his second start off
a layoff.
He finished fifth in a similar turf
allowance in late October at Belmont and didn’t race again until a
fourth June 18 at Belmont.
“He went off form last fall, we just
sent him down to Florida and gave
him some time. We didn’t have to
do anything,” McGaughey said. “He
came back and he ran a good race to
be fourth off a layoff. I sent him down
to Fair Hill because he was a little bit
hitchy behind. He didn’t really have
any time off, but just kind of trained
Tod Marks
and paddock time. He got training
really well down there, came up here
and had a really good breeze on the
turf last week. We felt like he’d run
good today.”
Security Risk is out of the Unbridled mare Smuggler, a champion for
the Phipps Stable and McGaughey
who won the 2005 Mother Goose
and Coaching Club American Oaks.
“The mare was a champion, she
was a good mare,” McGaughey said.
“The family has been a little peculiar, but she wasn’t. She was pretty
straightforward. That’s why I’ve been
a little surprised that he’s been a bit
different, not bad, but he has some
funny traits about him.”

• Trainer Chris Englehart ended his
0-for-25 run at the meet when Chelios
won the fifth, a 6-furlong claiming
race on the main track.
“It felt great; off the schneid,” Englehart said. “This horse had been
training real good. The numbers said
he couldn’t win it, but I didn’t know.
I was expecting him to run well, not
really expecting him to win. A little
bit (of a surprise). I figured he’d run
good, but I wasn’t sure he could beat
these horses.”
Sunday –
Englehart claimed Chelios for $12,500 at Saratoga July 24. He teamed up with owner Island
Wind Racing, a big supporter in recent years.
“My owner picked him out,” Englehart said.
“He sent me a horse up to Finger Lakes, a cheaper horse, and did well with it. One day, he called
me and says he wants to go claim Be Bullish for
$50,000 at Saratoga (in 2010) and I jumped in my
car and claimed him and we’ve been doing very
well since. He’s a smart guy and between the two of
us, we do pretty well together.”
– Brandon Valvo
• Transferred to the dirt after her debut on the
grass, Vertical Oak broke her maiden in the seventh for jockey Ricardo Santana Jr., trainer Steve
Asmussen and owners Kirk and Judy Robison.
Fourth in her debut July 27, she rated behind
Tazkeya in Monday’s 6-furlong maiden race before
taking the lead in upper stretch. She won by 6 3/4
lengths in 1:10.58.
Vertical Oak trained with Bowie, a debut winner
Opening Day, this spring and summer.
“She had worked really well before her first race
and we did separate the fillies,” Asmussen said of
his decision to run Vertical Oak on the grass. “Bowie ran in the first dirt race, and we thought we could
split them up that way, but obviously she didn’t run
as well on the turf. She just benefited from the race
and it made the difference late today.”
The Giant Oak filly is out of the Pollard’s Vision mare Vertical Vision, who won two stakes and
earned $202,979 for Asmussen from 2009 to 2011.
“I breezed her for the morning, I ride almost
all the horses for Steve Asmussen,” Santana said.
“He’s like my dad, he always gives me a chance.
“She was working really good on the dirt and
the trainer wanted to try on the turf for the first
time. She surprised me how she ran on the turf and
I knew on the dirt she was tougher because she was
working all summer on the dirt. She ran huge.”

Master Plan
Rachel’s Temper scores for Baker after $62,500 claim
Rachel’s Temper floats home with a victory in Monday’s feature for trainer Charlton Baker.
BY ANNISE MONTPLAISIR
SUMMER COLONY STAKES RECAP
Trainer Charlton Baker always saw potential
in Rachel’s Temper. He’d watched the smallish,
plain-looking dark bay mare for two years. The
right time and opportunity just wasn’t quite there
to take a shot and claim the 5-year-old, until she
showed up for a $62,500 tag last month at Saratoga Race Course.
Baker got father-son owner duo Max and Saul
Kupferberg on board, made the claim and got the
mare in his barn. Twenty-six days later, Rachel’s
Temper became a stakes winner, beating a group of
graded-stakes winning and placed fillies and mares
in Monday’s $100,000 Summer Colony Stakes.
“She’s just been a consistent, nice mare,” Baker
said. “I’ve liked her for a couple years now. We never had a chance to claim her but the last time she
was in for a claiming price. I’ve been watching her,
she’s been running some real nice races, but not this
kind of caliber. She was one that looked like she
could take on better horses.”
Saul Kupferberg credited Baker for his savvy selection and placement of the daughter of Flatter in
the 1 1/8-mile stakes.
“I’ve got to give Charlie all the credit, he spotted
her, talked me into claiming her,” Kupferberg said.
“He picked the spot, I’m just along for the ride. He
liked the horse a lot and it worked out great.”
From the day he made the claim, Baker mapped
out a plan for Rachel’s Temper. He figured she could
take a step up in class, but it would have to be the
right type of field. When the Summer Colony came
up at a distance he thought the mare would favor,
Baker entered and checked out the competition.
“The plan was to claim her and find a small
stake, which was this,” Baker said. “And once the
nomination was up we said we’ll put her in there
and see what it comes up like. If it was a little too
tough we wouldn’t go, but it came up where it was
going to be a six-horse field.”

Susie Raisher
Rachel’s Temper finished second going 1 1/8
miles July 27, when she was claimed by Baker and
the Kupferbergs. She closed well in that race but
didn’t quite get up in time, losing by a nose to Going For Broke.
Going For Broke came back to finish second behind undefeated champion Songbird in Saturday’s
Grade 1 Alabama Stakes, and third-place finisher
Jules N Rome won the Saratoga Dew Stakes Aug.
15, solidifying Baker’s confidence in Rachel’s Temper’s potential.
“She’d run the distance when I claimed her, and
she ran against two nice fillies that came back to
run really good races,” Baker said. “The winner
was a nice filly, the third horse came back to win a
stake. So we had a little gauge to go by from those
horses performing.”
The bay mare walked calmly in the paddock,
peering through her blue bridle at onlookers hudContinued On Page 25
Summer Colony –
dled over racing programs. Her coat
remained dry and her face relaxed
through the post parade as she amble
alongside a stocky chestnut pony.
Rachel’s Temper’s ears swiveled
back and forth, one on her pony, the
other on jockey Joel Rosario, then rotated forward and to the right as she
analyzed her surroundings. As they
jogged to the gate, Rachel’s Temper
tossed her head, flicking it into the air
twice, edgy anticipation replacing her
relaxed state.
The behavior was par for the
course from what Baker had witnessed. Calm and good-natured in the
barn, Rachel’s Temper could sometimes wash out in the paddock and
on her way to the gate for her races.
Excited, but not overly stressed.
Milaya went straight to the front
at the break, with Money’soncharlotte passing her from the inside as
they rounded the first turn.
The two pushed the pace, stretching their lead to 5 lengths in front of
Tiger Ride in an opening quarter of
:23.04. Rachel’s Temper trailed the
field, unhurried, behind the strungout group through fractions of :46.74
and 1:11.69.
Rosario made a five-wide move
as they rounded the far turn, urging
Rachel’s Temper around the field as
the front-runners faded. He hand
rode Rachel’s Temper past Tiger Ride
and Sweetgrass, who tried to make a
run up the rail. Bred in Kentucky by
Charles Deters from the Down The
Aisle mare Fergie’s Folly, Rachel’s
Temper cruised past those two and
won by 1 1/2 lengths.
“Well I thought we were going to
be a little closer, but it looked like
they were going a good pace for the
distance,” Rosario said. “She can do
a lot, she can come from behind, from
way back and trying to make a run in
the end I was just taking my time with
her and you how the pace was setting
up early. She did very good.”
The Summer Colony, restricted to
fillies and mares that had not won a
graded stakes in 2016, was Rachel’s
Temper’s stakes debut and she collected her sixth victory from 32 starts.
The $60,000 winner’s share boosted
her earnings to $371,905.

Big Dreams
NY-bred Weekend Hideaway rolls
in loaded Monday allowance race
Weekend Hideaway shrugged off
a fourth in his last start and rolled
to victory in Monday’s sixth race at
Saratoga Race Course, a state-bred
conditioned allowance that looked
more like a stakes.
Beaten a length in the John Morrissey July 28, Weekend Hideaway
won for the third time in four starts
this year in the $85,000 allowance
going 6 furlongs. He won by a length
from Bond Vigilante in 1:09.74 under
Luis Saez.
“Coming off the loss here opening
week it seemed like a logical place to
put him,” said trainer Phil Serpe, who
trains the 6-year-old son of Speightstown for Mike Hoffman’s Red and
Black Stable. “I was very, very confident actually.”
Weekend Hideaway registered
back-to-back wins at Belmont Park in
the Affirmed Success Stakes April 29
and Commentator Stakes May 30.
“The horse had been really training well, he looks great,” Serpe said.
“I like the fact that some cooler
weather came in here the last couple
days because he’s not about a lot of
heat, which I really think affected him
when he ran in the John Morrissey.”
Weekend Hideaway was one of
four horses Hoffman purchased
from the Flying Zee Dispersal sale
at Fasig-Tipton Kentucky in October
2011. Hoffman paid $40,000 for the
yearling colt out of the Wiseman’s
Ferry mare Apocalyptical.
“This is the best one we’ve ever
had, and we’ve had about 50 or 60
horses with Phil,” Hoffman said. “If
Phil feels good about it we think we’re
going to try the (Grade 1) Vosburgh
Oct. 1. We ran in it last year at peak
condition (finishing sixth), but it’s up
to Phil.”
A good performance there might
lead to even bigger things.
“Then maybe the Breeder’s Cup,”
Hoffman’s daughter Siobhan said,
getting a laugh.

MONDAY RACING RECAP
• It’s not often you see an owner
don their own silks, but that’s what
Avram Freedberg did for the first.
Walking into the winner’s circle as he
buttoned up a set of his gold silks that
feature a white ball and a photo of a
dog in the middle, Freedberg met his
horse, Another Genius.
“Our stable is called Everything’s
Cricket Racing. That’s Cricket there,”
he said, pointing to the portrait of the
dog on his colors. “Cricket was 16
years old when we formed the stable
and she met our first horse, Ahvee’s
Destiny, and they have a picture of
them kissing, it’s very sweet.”
Another Genius won her debut
in the 5 1/2-furlong New York-bred
maiden special weight on the Mellon
Turf Course. The 3-year-old filly by
Einstein raced midpack early, saved
ground under Jose Ortiz, angled out
at the midway point of the turn and
kicked clear to win by 1 3/4 lengths.
Purchased for $42,000, the Linda
Rice trainee encountered her share of
issues despite showing promise early.
Freedberg tried to sell her as a 2-yearold, but she RNA’d for $22,000 at the
2015 OBS June sale.
“This horse was bought at the
(Fasig-Tipton) Saratoga fall mixed
sale in 2013, so we’ve had her since
she was a weanling,” Freedberg said.
“When we first took her down to
Florida, Tori, Linda’s cousin, rode her
and thought she was great. Then she
started giving them little head problems, so bad that we actually put her
in a sale in Florida, but she didn’t
reach reserve and boy are we now
glad. We thought she wasn’t going
to perform well, but she’s turned into
something that maybe will turn into
something more.”
Freedberg was thrilled to be back
in the Saratoga winner’s circle. He’s
visited many times since forming Everything’s Cricket Racing in 2006,
Weekend Hideaway makes it look easy in Monday’s fourth race.
but it’s been a few years since his last
win here.
“We won in Saratoga the first seven years we were here at least once every meet, so we were on cloud nine,”
Freedberg said. “Last year, we had
nobody run, the year before nobody
win, so it’s great to be back in the
winner’s circle here. We love it here.”
– Brandon Valvo
• Tom Albertrani celebrated his
first win of the meet and breathed a
sight of relief after Sadler’s Joy won
the second, a 1 1/2-mile maiden race
on the grass.
Albertrani beamed, posing alongside the lanky chestnut son of Kitten’s
Joy in the winner’s circle and enthusiastically helped jockey Javier Castellano off the horse, eager to discuss the
long-awaited win.
“I’m very excited for this horse’s
future,” said Albertrani to Castellano.
Bred and raced by Woodslane
Farm, Sadler’s Joy came into Monday’s race with three off-the-board
finishes on the grass. He finished
fourth going 1 3/8 miles July 30, behind Richmond Street and Uncle Gio,
second and fourth, respectively in
Monday’s race.
“Relieved in one way,” Albertrani
said of his emotions getting the first
win with his 31st starter. “And really
excited to see the horse run the way he
did because after the first time he ran
he had such a strong kick. I got really
Susie Raisher
excited the first time, then I got a little disappointed with his next couples
races.”
Sadler’s Joy raced in sixth for the
first 1 1/4 miles before accelerating
between rivals in the stretch to win by
2 lengths in 2:30.97.
“What I saw today was really exciting, that he was able to finish off
of a slow pace like that,” Albertrani
said. “Distance could be a key with
this horse, a little bit longer, the better. It’s been a slow start, but maybe
we’ll come with a strong finish like
this horse did today.”

• Greyjoy broke his maiden for a
$20,000 claiming tag in the nightcap
Aug. 17 going 6 furlongs. Trainer
Carlos Martin decided to wheel the
4-year-old back in five days, stretching out to 1 1/8 miles for a $16,000
tag.
“I know I was going to get criticized,” Martin said. “My man
(NYRA television host) Andy Serling, who I think is a fan of mine, he
always says I do a great job. I knew
he’d rip me apart a little bit, but I’ve
had a little bit of luck doing it.
“It works out sometimes and a lot
of times it’s a little bit of an aggressive
move, but the horse came out of the
race so well and I saw this race in the
book, I said, ‘Let me put this horse
Monday –
in and see how he acts the last four
or five days and he was just coming
out of his skin. I took a little bit of a
calculated risk.”
Greyjoy stalked the pace while racing three wide around both turns. He
came into the stretch on even terms
with Luckybuck Syndrome and Geo
Niko and despite giving them all the
ground and carrying more weight,
Greyjoy won by a head.
Greyjoy, claimed by Martin for
$16,000 in January, was taken for the
identical tag Monday by trainer Steve
Asmussen and owner Clark Brewster.
Although he didn’t take Greyjoy back
to his barn, Martin didn’t leave empty
handed after claiming sixth-place finisher That Makes Sense.
“It’s a little bittersweet because
I love the horse and I think I finally
got him going in the right direction,”
Martin said. “But you have to play the
game. But we claimed a really wellbred horse from Mr. Lukas that he
paid $550,000 for, so we’ll make him
a new gelding and go from there.”

• Trinity Farm’s Jaye and Tom
Egan enjoy a bittersweet moment
each time their 5-year-old homebred
Macagone wins.
“It’s not spelled correctly in Gaelic,
but it means son of Egan. Tom’s son
died a few months before the foal was
born so it was just fitting to name him
Macagone,” said Jaye Egan of the
Artie Schiller gelding named in honor
of Jes Egan, who passed away at age
36. “He’s (Macagone) been such a joy
for us. So, it was fitting, feels like he’s
here with us.”
The bay gelding went straight to
the lead in the seventh, a $93,000 allowance-optional going 1 mile on the
turf. He led gate to wire to give trainer Michelle Nihei her first win of the
meet from her fourth start.
“He’s pretty one-dimensional,”
Nihei said. “He doesn’t have a lot of
other cards to play. What’s key for
us obviously is the first quarter-mile,
maybe the first half-mile fraction. As
long as that goes relatively controlled,
then we have most of it in the pocket.”
Nihei also said Macagone benefited from the softer turf because it
slowed down the early fractions.
Macagone, winner of the Danger’s
Hour Stakes in April at Aqueduct,
held off a field that included Grade 2
winner March, Grade 3 winner Night
Prowler and stakes winners Vision
Perfect and High Noon Rider. He
won a three-horse photo by a nose
from Dancetrack with March another
nose back in third.
Macagone is out of the Skip Away
mare Isabel Away, whom the Egans
purchased for $60,000 at the 2003
Keeneland September yearling sale

BY SEAN CLANCY
There is no walk like it in sports. Two thick red
lines mark the path, as it burrows through bettors
and drinkers under the clubhouse, descends a few
feet, past the hand stampers and around the bend,
past the red railing where the gate crew hangs,
then slices diagonally right, past the bands and
the dancers, between the food stands, through the
charbroiled burger smell, then juts back to the left
past the administrative offices, through the jocks’
agents and wives waiting for celebration or commiseration, then a hard right into the sanctuary of
the jocks’ room.
Jockeys, valets and security guards make the
walk from the scales to the room, nine, 10, 11 times
a day. Trainers join the jockeys for part of it, sometimes the whole thing if they’re mad or confused.
Fans, from old to young, dot the walk, thrusting
programs, asking for goggles, high-fives or ever so
rarely a negative critique – I still remember the gambler who threw a handful of rolled up tickets at me
in the early 1990s, “Cash these for me Clancy,” after I got beat on a Sheppard favorite.
The walk is where many of us became fans of
this crazy sport. I remember Cash Asmussen teaching me manners when he said, “How about a please
and a thank you?” after I thrust a program in his
face. Then he scrawled his name across the program, slashing dollar signs for the S in Cash. I was
impressed.
The walk is always good, at least, for the winner.
For Mike Smith, twice this summer, it was iconic.
The Hall of Famer made his career in New York
but now resides in California. When he comes here,
wins the Coaching Club American Oaks and Alabama on the undefeated Songbird, well, the walk
becomes part victory lap, part family reunion.
After the CCA Oaks, it went like this…
Mikey. Mikey. Mikey. Thanks for coming.
Come back to the East Coast. Zenyatta or
Songbird at a mile-and-a-sixteenth, who’s bet-
The Walk
Susie Raisher
ter, Mikey? Who’s better? Mikey, can I get a
picture of you and my son? I don’t know how
you do it, Mike. Holy Bull. Holy Bull. Holy
Bull. Think you can take Beholder…? You’re
the best, Mikey. Can I take a picture with you?
Thank you so much. You sticking around,
Mikey? Sign it to Andrew…to Andrew. I’ve
got to go, guys, I’m sorry, I’ve got to catch
a plane. Clear the path. Clear the path. Clear
the path. Goggles, Mike, one pair of goggles.
Awesome, Mike. Awesome. You got a camera.
Hurry up. Hurry up. Make it work. Make it
work…
In between and among the celebration, Smith
hugged Gary Sciacca, accepted congratulations
from John Velazquez, Kendrick Carmouche and
jockeys who look young enough to be Smith’s kids.
By the time Smith got to the jocks’ room, he had
posed for photos with a kid in a stroller and a woman in her 80s. One long black Sharpie mark had
flicked across Fox Hill Farm’s silks, Smith laughed,
“That looks kind of like my signature.”
A month later, Smith returned to win the Alabama. The walk was longer, better.
Mike. Mike. Mike. Thanks, Mike. Ain’t
that something. What are you wearing Florent
Geroux’s helmet for? Ain’t that something.
You need a better pen. Let’s go, real quick.
Look up. Look up. Look up. Can you sign
this, thank you so much. For Chile. For Chile.
Whewwww. Selfie. Selfie. Selfie. I gotta go. I
gotta go. I gotta go. Can I have your goggles?
Goggles, Mikey. Selfie! Mike, you’re still the
greatest. Hey, Mike, you going to Sperry’s
tonight? Thank you, Dad. Please, brother,
please. Right here, Mike. Right here. Thank
you, Mike. Take it, take the picture. You know,
it was really good, we were running, brother.
Great trip, Mike. Outside the red lines, please.
You’re the best, Mike. You’re the best. Hey,
Smitty. You’re the man. Songbird. Songbird.
Smitty, buy yourself a helmet. I got one, don’t
I? For this little girl, this little girl here. Thank
you, Mike. Take the picture. Take the picture.
Mikey. Mike. Smitty. Great ride. You are my
hero. The champion. I love you man...
A longer, sweeter walk, Smith reached the jocks’
room after 10 minutes and 11 seconds, finishing
with a Sharpie, from a fan who had happily traded
a pen for a signature. Smith had signed enough red
Songbird posters to wallpaper the Reading Room,
signed a $2 win ticket, written his phone number
on a press pass, taught a woman how to use an iPhone camera. Smith hugged Leo and Joan O’Brien,
Selma, Wendy, Tony Allevato and his son. By the
end of the walk, a woman waited for one perfect
picture, as Smith walked into the frame, her phone
rang, Chelsey flashed on her screen. The woman slammed her thumb down like she was playing Whac A Mole. Smith slowed, waited and she
snapped her photo, shrieking while she did it. Smith
smiled, a walk complete.
