Horde Golden in Commonwealth Cup: Ascot Braced For Super Saturday

SATURDAY, 20 JUNE 2020
ASCOT BRACED FOR SUPER SATURDAY

HORDE GOLDEN IN After the quintet of thrilling Group 1 contests this week at
COMMONWEALTH CUP Royal Ascot, Saturday sees a triple treat as the G1 St James=s
Palace S., G1 Coronation S. and G1 Diamond Jubilee S. provide
the ultimate closing act. It is the St James=s Palace which entices
the most, with the May 6 G1 2,000 Guineas second and third
Wichita (Ire) (No Nay Never) and Pinatubo (Ire) (Shamardal) re-
enacting their Classic encounter as >TDN Rising Star= Palace Pier
(GB) (Kingman {GB}) joining in for good measure. On last year=s
form, Pinatubo still holds sway and only this race will tell if he
has truly been usurped as the kingpin of his generation. Big
names such as Kris (GB), Giant=s Causeway and Kingman himself
were beaten in the Guineas before getting back on track in this
race and it is far too early to be writing off such a remarkable 2-
year-old talent. It may be that the rain-softened ground will aid
his cause, as Newmarket was the fastest surface he had
encountered. Charlie Appleby is keen to turn him out again.
AI=m really pleased with him. William [Buick] sat on him on

Golden Horde and Adam Kirby take the
Commonwealth Cup | Racing Post
Strong and direct at two and just the same on this seasonal
return, AlMohamediya Racing=s Golden Horde (Ire) (Lethal Force
{Ire}) was the main player on Royal Ascot Friday as he provided
trainer Clive Cox and jockey Adam Kirby with yet another major
sprint when making virtually all in the G1 Commonwealth Cup.
Always at the head of the stand=s-side group and in front overall
before two out, the 5-1 shot whose sire captured the G1
Diamond Jubilee S. for this partnership here in 2013 kept digging
in to beat Kimari (Munnings) by 1 1/2 lengths. Ventura Rebel
(GB) (Pastoral Pursuits {GB}) was 2 1/2 lengths back in third,
with the field eventually spread out as the ground and the
winner=s raw speed took its toll.
AI kept it uncomplicated--I thought the Wesley Ward horse

cruising speed and it was all very easy for me,@ explained Kirby,
who made no secret of the bond between him and the trainer.

DESERVED TRIUMPH FOR free of spectators, the 152nd renewal of the GI Belmont S. kicks
NEW YORK CITY off a reshuffled Triple Crown Saturday.

The winner will have to wait until the first Saturday in
September for the GI Kentucky Derby, however, to continue a
bid for what would have to go down as the most unique of
sweeps if able to join the legendary previous 13 to do so. The
series concludes with the GI Preakness S. at Pimlico Oct. 3.
Welcome to horse racing amidst a global pandemic in 2020.
Jack Knowlton and trainer Barclay Tagg have been here
before. Well, sort of. In 2003, the folks at Sackatoga Stable

Louisville and Baltimore with the popular gelding Funny Cide

century, and proved so popular that even after the British were
expelled in 1783, a thirst for horse racing lived on in the hearts
of newly independent New Yorkers. Union Course sprouted up
in 1821 and became the country=s leading track. After that came
Brighton Beach Race Course, which helped create the New York
institution of amusement at Coney Island. The plants of
Sheepshead Bay, Gravesend, Jerome Park, Aqueduct and many
others followed soon after as enterprises competing to satisfy
the city=s enduring racing fix.
Then, on May 4, 1905, on a vast 400-acre expanse of land
straddling the border of New York City and Long Island, Belmont
Park opened. It was in the same area that Newmarket had sat
atop hundreds of years earlier, but instead of a monument to
British occupation and wealth, Belmont became an American
treasure, open for all to enjoy. Which they did, by the tens of
thousands, from all walks of the now industrialized city.

New York City is a gateway to the rest of the world. But this
year, that role cost it dearly, as flights from Europe packed with
coronavirus-infected travelers poured into the area by the
hundreds of thousands through March. It was a timebomb. By
April, it had exploded. The biggest city in America screeched to a
halt as everyone, from the governor to the citizens, turned their
lives upside down and inside out to try to mitigate a horrendous
pandemic that had already spread like wildfire. Cont. p4

Whatever the merit of the resulting schedule, the 2020 Derby
will clearly be tailored to Thoroughbreds at a different stage of

But the misfortunes that derailed Charlatan (Speightstown)

TRAVERS MOVED TO AUG. 8 IN NEWLY streams that come from having fans in attendance having been
cut off, NYRA has had to make cuts to the stakes schedule.
RELEASED SARATOGA STAKES SCHEDULE Casino funds account for 35 to 40 percent of the purses at the
NYRA tracks. The purses for several stakes at Belmont were cut
and that will again be the case at Saratoga.
In 2019, NYRA ran 76 stakes at Saratoga, worth a total of
$20.85 million--or $6.4 million more than what will be given
away this year. The Travers purse has been reduced from $1.25
million to $1 million. Other notable cuts include GI Coaching
Club American Oaks ($500,000 to $350,000); GI Forego S.
($600,000 to $300,000) GI Sword Dancer S. ($850,000 to
$500,000); GI Test S. ($500,000 to $300,000); GI Whitney S. ($1
million to $750,000) and the GI Woodward S. ($750,000 to
$500,000).
By cutting stakes purses, NYRA will be able to keep purses for
overnight races comparable to 2019 levels.
An addition to the stakes schedule will be the GIII Peter Pan S.,
normally run at Belmont. It will be contested on July 16, opening
NYRA Photo day, and serve as a prep for the Travers. The GII Jim Dandy S., a
traditional prep for the Travers, has been moved to Sept. 5,
