Has anyone asked Victor Espinoza about bringing about world peace, ending hunger, turning lead into gold? Because Espinoza the last 23 months has done things scarcely to be believed – winning two Kentucky Derbys, two Preaknesses, one Triple Crown, a Breeders’ Cup Classic – and a Dubai World Cup. And California Chrome, the horse that took Espinoza to the top of this moun- tain Mar. 26 at Meydan, added another chapter to his fairy-tale career, setting a track record and making short work of an outstanding field while becoming the richest North American-based racehorse ever. California Chrome won by 3 3/4 lengths over Mubtaahij, and it didn’t even seem that close, but Chrome’s beloved 76-yearold trainer, Art Sherman, a jockey for 23 years, wasn’t taking any chances. “Oh I was riding that horse down the lane!” Sherman said. “I felt like I was back in the saddle again.” While Sherman imagined himself into a saddle, Espinoza worried he was losing his actual one. The girth on California Chrome’s saddled loosened at some point in the race, and Espinoza’s seat had slid considerably down Chrome’s barrel by the time the race was run. “I was just trying to keep my balance,” Espinoza said. “I wasn’t really concerned about it, but I was just looking forward. CONTINUED Breeding ‘Where’s the wire? The wire’s not coming fast enough.’ ” California Chrome crossed it, the crowd roaring for the favorite. He galloped out, was pulled up, at which point Espinoza dismounted, tightened the girth, remounted, and rode slowly back with one of the most famous horses in the world to get his picture taken. “After I won the Triple Crown, I had a goal to win the Dubai World Cup,” Espinoza said. “I was second last year, and that wasn’t very fun.” The man hasn’t been second much. He’s won five of the last six Triple Crown races, and ended his 2015 season raising his arms as American Pharoah ran out of the racing world a brilliant Breeders’ Cup Classic winner. Even as that was happening, California Chrome was in the early phases of his comeback. Beaten into second in this race last year at age 4 by shocking winner Prince Bishop, California Chrome didn’t race again in 2015. As Espinoza won the Derby, California Chrome struggled to adapt to life and training in England, where his owners had directly sent him after the World Cup. California Chrome never adapted, didn’t race there, and after a couple weeks at Arlington, where he shipped coming back home, the plug was pulled on his 2015 campaign. Steve Coburn, the horse’s minority owner, sold his share of Chrome to Taylor Made Farm, where California Chrome went to recuperate. Taylor Made stands stallions, and Sherman wasn’t sure he’d ever train his once-in-a-lifetime horse again, but eventually the decision was made to give California Chrome a 5-yearold campaign, one with two main objectives: the Dubai World Cup and the Breeders’ Cup. One down, one to go. The plan to send California Chrome early to Dubai shortly after he won his comeback race Jan. 9 in the San Pasqual at Santa Anita bore rich fruit. An easy handicap win over the World Cup’s 2,000meter distance here Feb. 26 had California Chrome tuned for this race. California Chrome broke crisply enough from post 11 in the World Cup, but with Mshawish going for the lead while two paths off the rail and Special Fighter stacked up outside him, California Chrome was four wide going into the first turn – just where Espinoza wanted him. “I thought if I could hit the turn three or four wide I’d be in good shape,” he said. “I don’t want to go six or seven wide.” California Chrome held his position down the backstretch, lost ground again on the second turn while three paths wide, and after straightening for home, was stoked for run by Espinoza. And he gave plenty. California Chrome jumped on the tiring leaders more than furlong out, hit the front with relative ease, and steamed home with the largest World Cup winning margin since Well Armed’s 14-length romp in 2009. Alan Sherman came flying down the path from the winner’s circle to meet him with a whoop and a leap. CONTINUED 9 of the 12 Triple Crown Winners Were Bred in... Kentucky. The Main Voice for Kentucky-breds: Kentucky Thoroughbred Owners & Breeders, Inc. (859) 259-1643 • www.kentuckybred.org 2 Breeding “You didn’t know a fat man could jump that high, did you?” he said in victory’s glow. California Chrome also jumped to a new level on this night. This was his first win over older Grade 1 or Group 1 horses, and easily his most important victory since the Preakness nearly two years ago. He’d been a fine, close third in the 2014 Breeders’ Cup, but after his lost 4-year-old season, it seemed fair to wonder if Chrome – the product of an improbable by-nothing-outof-nothing mating, with his flashy socks and blaze, and his huge fan base – was more hat than cattle. But he brought it in the Dubai World Cup, running the fastest 2,000 meters of the two-year Meydan dirt era, 2:01.83. California Chrome is the best horse by a country mile ever sired by Lucky Pulpit, and as every Chromie knows, he’s out of the Not For Love mare Love the Chase. Martin and Coburn bred him in California. He ran his record to 12-3-1 from 21 starts, and the $6 million share of the purse gave him $12,532,650 in earnings, surpassing Curlin’s American record $10,501,800. California Chrome, heavily favored in U.S. betting, paid $4.40 to win. California Chrome leaves Dubai on Mar. 31, flies to Chicago for a brief quarantine, and then will be sent by van to Taylor Made outside Lexington, Ky., for a 30-day rest. Plans aren’t set, but Sherman suggested it was likely California Chrome would race just twice before going to stud, in the Pacific Classic at Del Mar and in the Breeders’ Cup Classic at Santa Anita. “He runs really well fresh,” Sherman said. Mubtaahij, trained to the minute by Mike de Kock, ran easily his best race among three this winter, hugging the fence for most of the trip and running on gamely for second, a neck in front of Hoppertunity, who ran a very strong race to finish third after settling in the rear and winding up about six paths wide around the far turn. Special Fighter, whose course record Chrome broke, was a creditable fourth, while Frosted, the second choice, got into a great stalking spot on the outside, but came home a one-paced fifth. Mshawish, the somewhat surprising pacesetter, didn’t stay and faded to sixth, and was followed by Candy Boy, Keen Ice, Hokko Tarumae, Teletext, Vadamos, and Gun Pit. Mubtaahij, the runner-up, was eighth in the Kentucky Derby and fourth in the Belmont, and after acting up in the gate, ran a strong enough race in the World Cup 3 that de Kock said his 4-year-old is likely to come to the U.S. to try and win a Grade 1 at some point this year. What de Kock doesn’t want is to bump into the flashy chestnut again anytime soon. “If California Chrome is staying west, we’re going east,” De Kock said. “I want to go to the opposite side of the world from him if I can.” Sire: DEEP IMPACT (JPN).

It was not the breathtaking performance like that of countryman Just a Way in 2014, but a Japanese horse, Real Steel, won the $6 million Dubai Turf for the second time in three years. The Japanese, who love their racing and were out in force at Meydan, had barely finished celebrating Lani’s win in the UAE Derby when Real Steel, overcoming a wide draw under Ryan Moore, held off a solid showing from Euro Charline to win the Dubai Turf at Meydan by a half-length. Tryster, the 8-5 favorite on the North American tote board, pulled his usual Silky Sullivan routine, dropping back to last and coming with a furious run, but the horses in front of him were far stronger than the competition he’d buzzed past twice earlier this meet, and he checked in two lengths behind Euro Charline in third. Ertijaal improved for trainer Mike de Kock and finished fourth, while the Paddy Gallagher-trained, Californiabased Flamboyant was a respectable fifth. Intilaaq, the race’s second favorite, acted studdish before the race and never really got involved, finishing seventh. Real Steel has played second fiddle in Japan to fellow 4-year-old Duramente, who beat him in the Japanese Derby last year and in a Group 2 prep race there for the two horses’ Dubai adventure, but on this night, when Duramente could only finish second in the Sheema Classic, it was Real Steel who wore the crown. Trained by Yoshito Yahagi for the Sunday Racing Company, the son of Deep Impact out of Loves Me Only, by Storm Cat, had run the best race of his life in the Japanese St. Leger at 1 7/8 miles last fall, but he had plenty of pace for the about 1 1/8-mile Dubai Turf. CONTINUED Breeding Breaking from post 14, Moore and Real Steel were forced to lose a bit of ground, but they got into the two or three path around the first turn. Moore allowed his mount to race in the clear from fifth while three paths off the rail down the backstretch, guided him back into line behind cover around the final bend, and then tipped the horse out again to make his move. Very Special had shaken off Ghaamer by then, and as she’d done in the Balanchine Stakes against Euro Charline, attempted to win the race by opening a lead in upper stretch. But Real Steel would have none of that, attacking with pace and reeling in Very Special inside the final furlong. It was Euro Charline, ridden patiently by Frankie Dettori, who burst from midpack to issue a challenge, briefly looking like she’d make things close, but Real Steel had too much run for her. “We rode her to finish, but the winner was too good for us,” Dettori said. Real Steel won for just the third time in nine starts, while the $3.6 million winner’s share of the purse swelled his bankroll to more than $5.5 million. “He’s a beautiful horse who’s got lots of quality,” said Moore, who won his second Dubai Turf. Flamboyant, trained by Patrick Gallagher, couldn’t threaten the winner, but performed well by the low standards set by Americans in Dubai turf-route races to get fifth of 15. “To come halfway across the world and run like this, it was nice,” said jockey Brice Blanc. “He proved he can run with this kind of horse.” – Marcus Hersh DUBAI SHEEMA CLASSIC [UAE-G1] Meydan Racecourse, Mar. 26, $6,000,000 guaranteed, 3-year-olds and up, 1 1/2 miles turf, 2:26.97, good.

It took Postponed 12 starts to win his first Group 1 race, but he didn’t waste much time getting his second. Jockey Andrea Atzeni was on the right horse in the $6 million Dubai Sheema Classic at Meydan Racecourse on Mar. 26, and he gave Postponed a perfect ride. Atzeni and Postponed drafted behind a horse while perched two wide, tipped three deep turning into the homestretch, and went on to a two-length victory over the fine Japanese horse Duramente. “It was very straightforward today,” Atzeni said. “He traveled brilliantly and was in a nice position all the way. I knew it would take a good horse to beat him today.” The best horse behind him on the night, Duramente, might have gotten closer had he not dislodged his right-front shoe shortly before the start. Duramente was taken off the track to be attended by the track farrier, but the shoe could not be repaired, and Duramente was forced to race barefoot on that foot. He ran on strongly from the back of the field, chasing home the winner, and could well have done better if fully shod. “He didn’t shove like always does, and he was trying to change his [leads] many times, and this isn’t usual for him,” jockey Mirco Demuro said. Duramente headed an excellent showing from the three Japanese runners in the Sheema Classic, with Last Impact third and One and Only fifth. Between them came Highland Reel, who set the pace but could not quicken with Postponed in the stretch. “He ran a very good race, my horse,” said Highland Reel’s jockey, Ryan Moore. “He ran against the front two who had runs, and he’ll come on from it.” Postponed’s most recent start had come in the Group 2 City of Gold here March 5, and while no City of Gold winner had returned to win the Sheema Classic, Postponed was no typical City of Gold winner. A Group 2 winner at 4, he finished a close third in the Group 1 Tattersalls Gold Cup last summer before getting his first Group 1 victory in the King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes on July 26 at Ascot. Postponed won that race on soft turf on a European-style course, and showed his versatility in the Sheema Classic by performing just as well on a flat, fast-playing track. His time of 2:26.97 was a course record. “We were hopeful he’d perform like this, but you never know,” said Roger Varian, who took over Postponed’s training when his owner, Sheikh Mohammed Obaid, moved 35 horses from trainer Luca Cumani late last fall. “We’ll get him home, keep him in mind for the 1 1/2-mile races that are obvious targets.” CONTINUED Breeding Postponed has won 7 of 15 starts – including 5 of 6 at 1 1/2 miles – and the $3.6 million winner’s share of the Sheema Classic was more than double what Postponed previously had earned in his career. The handsome bay horse is a son of Dubawi out of the Dubai Destination mare Ever Rigg. He was bred in Ireland by St. Albans Bloodstock. – Marcus Hersh DUBAI GOLDEN SHAHEEN [UAE-G1] Meydan Racecourse, Mar. 26, $2,000,000 guaranteed, 3-year-olds and up, 6 furlongs, 1:10.59, fast.

Muarrab, a fixture at Dubai tracks in recent years, scored a mild upset to edge the star Florida sprinter X Y Jet in the $2 million Golden Shaheen Sprint at Meydan Racecourse on Mar. 26. The result was only decided in the final strides. Muarrab, who paid $15.80 to win in American pools, finished a neck in front of favored X Y Jet after the two fought through the stretch together. A patient ride from jockey Paul Hanagan was arguably the difference. Hanagan kept Muarrab off the pace while X Y Jet and Rich Tapestry dueled for the lead. Rich Tapestry faded in early stretch when Muarrab moved alongside X Y Jet. The two were inseparable for about a furlong until Muarrab took the lead in the last 50 yards. “He’s such a star, this horse,” Hanagan said. “They went hard [from the start], and it suited him to sit. The other horse was very hard to pass.” X Y Jet was favored in the Golden Shaheen, which was run at six furlongs on dirt. X Y Jet looked like a winner in early stretch. “I got beaten fair and square, but he’s run his heart out,” jockey Emisael Jaramillo said. “There was no letup from the go, and there was no chance to get a breather into him. He still managed to run like a champion. He was very tough to pass, and it was only close to the wire that the winner got past.” Morawij, a 50-1 outsider with British bookmakers, finished third, followed by Reynaldothewizard, Super Jockey, Confrontation, Rich Tapestry, Domineer, and Master Kochanwong. Kifaah was pulled up while racing at the back of the field. Muarrab was timed in 1:10.59. Aside from X Y Jet, Confrontation was the only runner in the field with recent American form. A 6-year-old Kentucky-bred gelding, Confrontation was second in the Grade 3 Westchester Stakes at Belmont Park last May. Trained by Kiaran McLaughlin, Confrontation won the Firebreak Stakes at a mile at Meydan on Feb. 4 in his first start since June. Muarrab has won 13 of 24 starts and earned $1,655,942. A 7-year-old Britishbred gelding by Oasis Dream, Muarrab began his career racing on turf in England but struggled to compete. In the UAE, Muarrab thrived in lower-quality races at Jebel Ali Racecourse, winning eight races there from 2013 to last November. In his last five starts, Muarrab has won three stakes, including the Group 3 Mahab Al Shimaal at six furlongs at Meydan on March 5. Muarrab races for Sheikh Hamdan Bin Rashid al Maktoum and trainer Musabah Al Muhairi. They teamed earlier on the program to win the $1 million Kahayla Classic for Arabians with AF Mathmoon. X Y Jet, a 4-year-old gelding by Kantharos, has won 6 of 15 starts. Trained by Jorge Navarro, X Y Jet had won three consecutive stakes going into the Golden Shaheen, including the Grade 3 Gulfstream Park Sprint on Feb. 27. X Y Jet is co-owned by Rockingham Ranch and Gelfenstein Farm. The gelding is scheduled to be sent to trainer Peter Miller in California upon his return to the United States, Miller said this month. – Steve Andersen CONTINUED Breeding AL QUOZ SPRINT [UAE-G1] Meydan Racecourse, Mar. 26, $1,000,000 guaranteed, 3-year-olds and up, 5 furlongs turf, :56.34, good.

There is something about the Al Quoz Sprint that loves a graybeard. Sole Power won the straight-course turf dash at age 8 last year, and while he could only muster a 10th-place finish this year, Buffering scored a three-quarter-length win over Ertijaal at age, say, 8 1/2. Buffering, Australian-bred and owned, is an 8-year-old on Southern Hemisphere time but 9 on the Northern Hemisphere breeding calendar. But spare the details – he’s no spring chicken. This was Buffering’s 52nd career start in addition to being his best one. “He’s such a warrior,” said winning rider Damian Browne. “He’s getting better with age.” Buffering began his career in 2010 and raced regularly against the great Black Caviar as well as the second banana of the Black Caviar era, Hay List. No wonder, then, it took Buffering 18 starts before he won a Group 1. But since that breakthrough in October 2013, Buffering has been a steady Group 1 performer, though almost exclusively in Australia. He shipped to Hong Kong two Decembers ago and could only finish sixth in the Hong Kong Sprint, but beat two of Hong Kong’s best today, Peniaphobia and Not Listenin’Tome, as well as the 10 others he lined up against. It was Peniaphobia who went out to lead down the five-furlong Meydan straighta- way, pursued by Buffering and Ertijaal and Lady Shipman on the far outside. Browne started asking with a quarter-mile or so to run, and Buffering asserted himself in the final half-furlong, leading home the sort of bunched finish one would expect in a short race of this quality. Ertijaal, affirming the quality at which he hinted in lower-level races this meet, tried hard but settled for second, a neck better than Peniaphobia, who had threequarters of a length on Jungle Cat. Lady Shipman could not carry her one-turn American sprint form to the Meydan straightway, and finished seventh. Buffering, by Mossman out of the Anabaa mare Action Annie, was timed in 56.34 seconds while winning for the 20th time.

Lani became the first Japanese horse to win the Group 2, $2 million UAE Derby on Mar. 26 and for his next trick will try to become the first Japanese horse to win the Kentucky Derby. Lani overcame a wide trip in the UAE Derby and beat the favored Polar River by three-quarters of a length in the 1 3/16-mile dirt fixture for Northern Hemisphere 3-year-olds and Southern Hemisphere 4-year-olds. Lani is a nominee to the Kentucky Derby, will easily make the field for the race with the 100 qualifying points he earned by winning the UAE Derby, and his connections have every intention of running in the race. Trainer Mikio Matsunaga said through an interpreter after the race that plans already had been laid for Lani to travel to Churchill Downs, and that the colt would depart Dubai for the U.S. in less than one week. Lani, a bulky, gray son of Tapit and out of Heavenly Romance, by Sunday Silence, is a temperamental colt, and he was slow away from the gate, racing well behind the 7 second-to-last horse into the first turn of the UAE Derby. But in a move reminiscent of Mirco Dimuro’s ride on Dubai World Cup winner Victoire Pisa, jockey Yutaka Take guided Lani six or seven paths off the rail turning into the Meydan backstretch and let Lani race up close to the leaders, Vale Dori and Yu Change. Lani got into the 2 or 3 path around the far turn and still had work to do 1 1/2 furlongs out as Yu Change continued to lead, but Yu Change weakened late while Lani stayed on, passing the leader in the final 100 yards and holding clear favorite Polar River. His time on a fast track of 1:58.41 was 0.06 seconds slower than Mubtaahij’s clocking in his blowout win in the race last year. Mubtaahij would go on to finish eighth in the Kentucky Derby. Polar River, taking her first loss after four wins, had a tough trip. She was trapped in behind Vale Dori for most of the race, finding herself in an uncomfortable position for the first time in her career. Jockey Pat Dobbs waited and waited for room and said he didn’t have the horse to get through a seam that opened at the three-sixteenths pole, instead swinging wide, making some headway in the final furlong, but falling short in the end. Yu Change finished a neck behind Polar River, with Vale Dori another half-length back in fourth. The California shipper Frank Conversation finished last of seven. Lani won for the third time in six starts and scored for the first time at the group level and at a distance beyond one mile. He was bred in Kentucky by the North Hills Co. and is owned by Yoko Maeda. – Marcus Hersh DUBAI GOLD CUP [UAE-G2] Meydan Racecourse, Mar. 26, $1,000,000 guaranteed, 3-year-olds and up, 2 miles turf, 3:19.56, good.

In the $1 million Dubai Gold Cup at Meydan Racecourse on Mar. 26, Vazirabad extended his winning streak to six races with a hard-fought win in the Group 2 race at two miles. The Dubai Gold Cup was Vazirabad’s first start outside of France and the longest race of his career. The 4-year-old gelding overcame a troubled flight from France earlier in the week and a slow start to win the richest race of his eight-race career. Ridden by Christophe Soumillon, Vazirabad broke slowly and raced toward the back of a field of 11 for the first 1 1/2 miles. Certerach and Big Orange raced at the front, clear of the chasing pack for the first mile, before the field began to draw closer together in the last half-mile. Soumillon guided Vazirabad to the outside of rivals on the turn and moved into contention with a wide rally in early stretch. Big Orange, who finished fifth in the Melbourne Cup in Australia last November, took the lead in early stretch but was challenged on his outside by Vazirabad. Through the final furlong, Vazirabad had the better of Big Orange, finishing a neck in front of his rival. “His main quality is that he has a big turn of foot, and we’re not afraid to use it,” said winning trainer Alain de Royer-Dupre. “He was a little tired at the end; perhaps he came too soon.” Big Orange finished 4 3/4 lengths in front of Haafaguinea, who was followed by Suegioo, Meadow Creek, Manatee, Tellina, Neo Black Dia, Star Empire, Certerach and Paradise. There were no American-based runners or American-bred runners in the field. Prior to the race, de Royer-Dupre said that Vazirabad was unsettled for part of the flight to Dubai earlier this week and sustained cuts on his head. Vazirabad races for the Aga Khan. By Manduro, Vazirabad has won 6 of 8 starts and earned $1,024,025. His six-race winning streak includes four group stakes, most notably the Group 1 Prix Royal-Oak at 1 15/16 miles at Saint-Cloud last October. Earlier that month, Vazirabad won the Group 2 Prix Chaudenay at 1 7/8 miles at Longchamp on the weekend of the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe. – Steve Andersen Mobile App Live updates, analysis & more at DRF.com/app DOWNLOAD NOW 8 GODOLPHIN MILE [UAE-G2] Meydan Racecourse, Mar. 26, $1,000,000 guaranteed, 3-year-olds and up, 1 mile, 1:35.21, fast.

Doug Watson walked out of the Meydan winner’s circle after the Godolphin Mile, did a quick local TV hit, then whirled, slightly flustered, looking for assistance. He spotted John Ferguson of Godolphin, walked up to him, and said, “John, who do I talk to? I’ve never won one of these things!” Well, Watson, the American expatriate and onetime Kiaran McLaughlin assistant here, not only won his first race on a Dubai World Cup card, he pulled the rare feat of sweeping the top three placings. One Man Band, leading all the way from post 1, was much the best, setting a fast pace and never looking back, as the Watson-trained Faulkner edged the Watson-trained Cool Cowboy for a trifecta sweep. One Man Band won by 4 3/4 lengths and ran 1,600 meters in 1:35.21, a track record. Watson said several days ago that all three of his runners in the Grade 2, $1 million Godolphin Mile were live, and he was dead on, but things went less well for his former boss, as the McLaughlintrained Marking, the favorite, ran below his best form and finished fourth, beaten almost 10 lengths. “He’s still immature mentally,” said jockey James Doyle. “He missed the [break] again and then couldn’t take the kickback.” One Man Band is a one-way horse – the lead or nothing. But that style perfectly suited the way the Meydan dirt track was playing, at least early on this card, the sun still far from setting on a hot day. He did not break on the lead, but Sam Hitchcock, also winning his first World Cup card race, quickly put him on the lead, guiding him just in front of Marking to get to the rail as the one-mile starting chute linked with the course proper. From there, nothing much happened, though One Man Band carved out a demanding pace that left his chasers struggling. Nothing ever really got close to him, the only battle being for second, as Faulkner came out to nip the chasing Cool Cowboy. One Man Band, owned by Sheikh bin Mohammed al Maktoum, is a 5-year-old Irish-bred by Pivotal and out of a Cape Cross mare. Bred for turf, he has taken beautifully to the Meydan dirt track and has eight wins in 15 starts. – Marcus Hersh CONTINUED Breeding LOUISIANA DERBY [G2] Fair Grounds, Mar. 26, $1,000,000 guaranteed, 3-year-olds, 1 1/8 miles, 1:51.06, fast.

For Gun Runner, it was a joyous sequel. For Mo Tom, another Nightmare on Gentilly Blvd. Gun Runner ($9.80), making full use of his tactical speed and instant acceleration, completed a sweep of the two biggest Kentucky Derby preps at Fair Grounds by rolling to a 4 1/2-length victory in the Grade 2, $1 million Louisiana Derby, a result that thrilled his trainer, Steve Asmussen. “It’s extremely exciting,” Asmussen said in the winner’s circle, surrounded by his wife and three sons. “He’s a very athletic horse, handy, with a good temperament, and he stayed on to the wire.” Mo Tom, who has a powerful late kick, was favored off his rough trip in the Risen Star last month. Once again, he ran into a roadblock while trying to rally in the stretch with jockey Corey Lanerie and wound up fourth, one place worse than the Risen Star, a result that left his trainer, Tom Amoss, fuming. “Corey’s going to have to explain that ride,” Amoss said. “It’s beyond my understanding. He was locked and loaded, so why he chose the most dangerous route is beyond me. I flashed back to all the work we’ve done with him. It’s like being an eyewitness to your kid being beaten up at the playground. He’s got such a fine move. Just go around.” That was the ecstasy and the agony of the 102nd Louisiana Derby. Gun Runner got a first prize of $600,000, plus 100 points toward a berth in the Kentucky Derby May 7, which will be his next start. Even with the loss, Mo Tom likely has accumulated enough points to also get into the Derby, but Amoss – a native of New Orleans – was denied his first victory in a race he deeply covets. Gun Runner had an ideal trip under Florent Geroux. He was third, tracking pacesetter Candy My Boy from along the inside through the first six furlongs, then moved in a flash to attack Candy My Boy midway on the far turn. “He’s super athletic,” Geroux said. “He’s got a lot of gears,” said Scott Blasi, Asmussen’s top assistant. Gun Runner put daylight on his rivals in upper stretch and was never threatened through the lane, crossing the line in 1:51.06 for 1 1/8 miles on the fast main track. By comparison, the New Orleans Handicap for older horses earlier in the day was won by the longshot S’maverlous in 1:50.06, exactly one second faster. The 30-1 shot Tom’s Ready, like Mo Tom owned by Gayle Benson but trained by Dallas Stewart, rallied into second at midstretch and maintained that position, finishing 1 1/4 lengths in front of Dazzling Gem, who beat a fast-closing Mo Tom by a neck for third. Mo Tom was last the first half-mile of the race, began a strong rally toward the end of the far turn, was taken inside in upper stretch, and twice was forced to steady when caught behind the tiring Candy My Boy. Forevamo was fifth and was followed, in order, by Candy My Boy, Greenpointcrusader, Conquest Windycity, Uncle Walter, and Battery. Gun Runner, a 3-year-old colt by Candy Ride, has won four times in five starts, his lone loss a fourth-place finish in the Kentucky Jockey Club last fall on a sloppy, sealed track at Churchill Downs. He did win first time out against maidens at Churchill Downs on a fast track. Asmussen trains Gun Runner for Ron and Joan Winchell’s Winchell Thoroughbreds and the Three Chimneys Farm of Goncalo Torrealba. “He’s got talent,” Asmussen said. “What I love is how fast he is.” And, no doubt, he loves Gun Runner’s ability to stay out of trouble. – Jay Privman NEW ORLEANS H.

S’maverlous had been a sprinter for most of his career before he was claimed by Mike Maker, who this meet at Fair Grounds finally sent him around two turns. That move has taken S’maverlous to a new level, and he reached his highest point yet on Mar. 26 with a 20-1 upset victory in the Grade 2, $400,000 New Orleans Handicap for older horses. 10 S’maverlous ($42.40), showing more speed than in recent starts, stalked pacesetter Coup de Grace through the early going, kicked away in upper stretch, and rolled to a two-length victory while well clear of the bumping that took place behind him nearing the wire. Jessica’s Star, a 13-1 shot, beat International Star by a half-length for second, with 2-1 favorite Eagle a nose farther back in fourth. But the stewards ruled that Jessica’s Star had interfered with fifth-place finisher Majestic Harbor near the sixteenth pole, and they disqualified him to fifth, promoting International Star to second, Eagle to third, and Majestic Harbor to fourth. As a result, Maker swept the exacta, as he also trains International Star. S’maverlous completed 1 1/8 miles on the fast main track in 1:50.06. He has won eight times in 20 starts, is 3 for 7 for Maker, and has won his last two starts, both at Fair Grounds, both going two turns. He won a second-level allowance race on March 3. That day, S’maverlous came from seventh in the nine-horse field, but he was forwardly placed this time under Jose Lezcano. “He usually makes one run, but I didn’t want to handcuff Jose,” Maker said. “The horse placed himself. Jose rode a smart race.” Maker claimed S’maverlous for $32,000 for the Gata Racing Stable of John Huber. S’maverlous has earned $273,884 this year alone, quite the return on investment. S’maverlous, age 6, is a gelding by Tiz Wonderful. Maker said he’d go for an even richer payday next month in the $1.25 million Charles Town Classic. – Jay Privman FAIR GROUNDS OAKS [G2] Fair Grounds, Mar. 26, $400,000 guaranteed, 3-year-olds, fillies, 1 1/16 miles, 1:44.74, fast.

Five races in a row, Land Over Sea had faced Songbird, only to lose every time, albeit usually in respectable fashion. On Mar. 26, with no Songbird to chase, Land Over Sea showed she knows how CONTINUED Breeding to win when she drew off as the favorite in defeating seven other 3-year-old fillies in the 49th running of the Grade 2, $400,000 Fair Grounds Oaks on the Louisiana Derby undercard. “Once I got to the three-eighths pole, we were third and in the clear on the outside,” said John Velazquez, the Hall of Fame jockey who was aboard Land Over Sea for the familiar owner-trainer team of Reddam Racing and trainer Doug O’Neill. “I was like, ‘Okay, it’s all her now.’ Down the lane I think she showed the quality of filly she’s been chasing in California.” Midnight on Oconee led for the first five furlongs of the 1 1/16-mile race, pressed by Adore, who took over midway through the final turn. Past the furlong pole, Adore still clung to the lead, but after nine whacks of the whip from Velazquez, it was all over, as Land Over Sea flew past to win by 4 1/2 lengths. Dream Dance, a 23-1 outsider, rallied late up the rail to get second by a neck over a tiring Adore. It was another 3 3/4 lengths back to Northwest Tale. Land Over Sea, a Kentucky-bred chestnut by Bellamy Road, returned $5.60 to win after finishing in 1:44.74 over a fast track. Her five losses to Songbird all came after a maiden triumph last July and included seconds in the Grade 1 Chandelier, Grade 2 Las Virgenes, and Grade 3 Santa Ysabel. “It was great to get a confidence win like this,” said Jack Sisterson, O’Neill’s assistant who accompanied Land Over Sea from their Southern California base. “A lot of the credit goes to the filly herself. She’s got such a will to win.” The victory was worth $244,000, an also gave her 100 eligibility points toward the May 6 Kentucky Oaks. The undefeated Songbird is the strong early favorite for that race. Six of the last 11 runnings of the Fair Grounds Oaks has produced the winner of the Kentucky Oaks, with Untapable (2014) being the most recent. – Marty McGee MUNIZ MEMORIAL H.

For Take the Stand, the plan going into the Mar. 26 Mervin Muniz Memorial Handicap at Fair Grounds wasn’t to go for the early lead. Naturally, Take the Stand led all the way to win the Grade 2, $300,000 turf race by 1 1/4 lengths – and set a course record, to boot. Ridden by Edgar Prado for owner Earle Mack and trainer Bill Mott, Take the Stand ran about 1 1/8 miles in 1:47.80. The previous record, 1:48.18, was set in the Muniz last year by Chocolate Ride, who was the 2-1 favorite in the field of 10 older horses. World Approval made a strong late run to finish second, 1 1/2 lengths in front of third-place Closing Bell, Mott’s other entrant. Chocolate Ride finished fourth. “We weren’t really looking for the lead,’’ said Rodolphe Brisset, assistant to Mott. “I think he just took [Prado] there like a happy horse. Then he kind of re-broke.’’ Take the Stand, a 5-year-old Argentinebred son of Not For Sale, was coming off a runner-up finish by a neck behind Reload on Feb. 13 in the Grade 3 Tampa Bay Handicap. Take the Stand’s odds that day were 61-1; in the Muniz, he paid $18 to win. In the Tampa Bay race, Take the Stand was racing for the first time since November, and Prado saw positive signs. “He was happy last time,’’ Prado said. “He was very game when that horse came to him.’’ At Fair Grounds, Take the Stand was primed and ready. He broke sharply and set a solid pace. With Roman Approval and Chocolate Ride in closest pursuit, Take the Stand ran the first quarter-mile in 23.54 seconds, the half in 47.59, and six furlongs in 1:10.98. Chocolate Ride, carrying 124 pounds, eight more than Take the Stand, lacked the stretch punch he showed when winning the Colonel E. R. Bradley and Fair Grounds Handicap earlier in the meet. Prado said that he could tell on the final turn that Take the Stand would be tough to catch. “He was pricking his ears,’’ Prado said. World Approval raced in seventh place for the first half-mile before steadily gaining ground. “The winner was on the lead, loose,’’ said Julien Leparoux, who rode World Approval. “He got the first jump on us. But [World Approval] ran a very nice race.’’ – Bob Fortus SANTA ANA S. [G2] Santa Anita, Mar. 26, $200,000 guaranteed, 4-year-olds and up, fillies and mares, 1 1/8 miles turf, 1:48.82, firm.

A tiny gap between horses was all Tuttipaesi needed in the stretch in the $200,000 Santa Ana Stakes for fillies and mares at Santa Anita on Mar. 26. Guided into that space by jockey Chris DeCarlo, Tuttipaesi responded to storm to the front and win the Grade 2 Santa Ana by a neck over Glory. The win gave Tuttipaesi the most prestigious win of her career and gave the 47-year-old DeCarlo a win in his first mount at Santa Anita. DeCarlo had Tuttipaesi last with three furlongs to go, showing patience aboard the 6-year-old mare before finding running room between runner-up Glory and third-place finisher Fresh Feline. “It was tight, but there was a little separation at the eighth pole,” DeCarlo said. “She put her head in there. She’s a fighter and those are the kind you want. That’s all she needed.” Tuttipaesi ($7.40) ran 1 1/8 miles on turf in 1:48.82 in recording her third stakes win in her last four starts. She won the Suffolk Distaff Turf Stakes at Suffolk Downs in October and the South Beach Stakes at Gulfstream Park in December. Trained by Bill Mott for the Valor Ladies partnership, Tuttipaesi has won 7 of 17 starts and earned $495,929. Tuttipaesi was at the back of the field of five for the first six furlongs of the Santa Ana. Her Emmynency, the 4-5 favorite, set a modest pace of 24.50 seconds for the opening quarter-mile and 48.51 for a half-mile despite ducking in sharply from the inside post shortly after the start. Her Emmynency jumped so far to the inside in the first 100 yards that jockey Joe Talamo had to correct her direction rapidly to avoid getting shut off coming from the main track onto the turf course. “It surprised me a lot,” Talamo said. “She didn’t give me any indication that would happen.” Talamo thought Her Emmynency had recovered from the incident until the field reached the turn and he began to urge his mount. “The fractions were easy,” Talamo said. “It would have been one thing if she would have run off. I had a lot of horse until the three-eighths pole.” Glory, a 7-2 shot, led in the stretch and finished three-quarters of a length in front of Fresh Feline, who was followed by Nashoba’s Gold and Her Emmynency. Nancy From Nairobi, the winner of consecutive optional claimers on turf in February and early March, was scratched on the morning of the race after a bout with colic, trainer John Sadler said. Nancy From Nairobi was the 5-2 second choice on the morning line. Sadler said Nancy From Nairobi was treated at his stable. Tuttipaesi, an Irish-bred by Clodovil, has won five stakes. Tuttipaesi began her career in Italy where she won two stakes. She arrived in the United States in late 2012 and was second in the Grade 1 Ashland Stakes for 3-year-old fillies at Keeneland in April 2013 when trained by Graham Motion. She joined Mott’s stable in 2014. – Steve Andersen DRF’s exclusive SirePoweredResults Now sortable by Beyer Speed Figure DRF.com/breedingtoday VISIT CONTINUED Breeding NORTH AMERICAN NON-GRADED STAKES RESULTS Covering racing from March 21-27 Click here to jump to Graded Stakes SPONSORED BY KTOB AND KBIF CICADA S.
