Runhappy Travers cont. from p1


Saturday, Tiz the Law will get his first test at the Derby
distance of 10 furlongs. Since the Belmont, he has drilled five
times, the last three breezes going five panels over this track,
capped by a :59 4/5 (2/24) move Aug. 1.
"I've never seen him take a deep breath," Tagg told the NYRA
notes team. "I've never had him out of breath after a workout.
I've never had him way out of breath after a race and he [cools]
off very quickly. His lungs settle right down and nothing seems
to be a hazard. I could be all wrong in that. It might change in
another eighth of a mile, I don't know, but I've got no reason to
worry about it."
The biggest threat to the chalk appears to come in the form of
Mike Pegram, Karl Watson and Paul Weitman's Uncle Chuck
(Uncle Mo). Bought for $250,000 at Keeneland September, the
hulking dark bay didn't debut until June 12 of this year, but was
worth the wait, overcoming a slow start and rolling to a
seven-length front-running score going a mile at Santa Anita.
Quickly stepped up into stakes company, he proved clearly best
in the GIII Los Alamitos Derby, a performance that was flattered
when runner-up and stablemate Thousand Words (Pioneerof
the Nile) returned to upset top Derby contender Honor A. P.
(Honor Code) with a 104 Beyer in last week's Shared Belief S.

Uncle Chuck & assistant trainer Jimmy Barnes | Sarah Andrew

"He's quick," said trainer Bob Baffert, looking for his fourth
Travers win. "He's a big, tall horse but he's really quick on his
feet. He's got a tremendous stride. That's why I thought the mile
and a quarter would suit him well. If you can win the Travers, it's
a big thing. But Tiz the Law looks unbelievable. I watched his last
work and he looked tremendous, so Uncle Chuck will have to
step it up. It should be a great race."

The one-two finishers from opening day's GIII Peter Pan S. will
step up in Paul Pompa's Country Grammer (Tonalist) and Global
Thoroughbred and Top Racing's Caracaro (Uncle Mo). The
former, who fought gamely along the rail to prevail, would give
trainer Chad Brown his first Travers score, a victory he has said
would be even more significant to him than winning the Derby,
having grown up in nearby Mechanicville. The latter,
conditioned by Gustavo Delgado, appears to have a bit more
upside, after fighting gamely to within a neck in the Peter Pan in
just his third career start, first around two turns and first outing
since Jan. 11. Caracaro will be piloted by Javier Castellano, who
boasts a record six Travers wins.

Even before he won the Derby, Nyquist's juvenile
championship had already made his sire the busiest in the land,
with no fewer than 253 mares paying a fee promptly elevated to
$75,000 from $25,000. That, frankly, is a quite appalling
number. But they included the dams of Uncle Chuck, Caracaro
and a couple with a Derby gate already secured in King
Guillermo and Modernist; not to mention Pneumatic, also in the
picture, and a filly who won three Grade Is last year in Bast. The
next crop off the Uncle Mo carousel, conceived at ,150,000, has
already produced a >TDN Rising Star' in Girl Daddy, impressive
on debut for Dale Romans and Albaugh Family Stables at Ellis
Park a few days ago, and a filly so well regarded by Doug O'Neill
that she was thrown into the deep end Friday in the GII Sorrento
S. at Del Mar.
Meanwhile eased slightly to $125,000, Uncle Mo's book of 241
last year was nationally exceeded only by two glamorous sons of
Scat Daddy freshly launched by the same farm, Justify and
Mendelssohn. Coolmore, of course, is perfectly willing to expose

HAMBLETONIAN HAS THOROUGHBRED A victory Saturday by Ready For Moni would also give the
Antonacci family a record sixth Hambletonian triumph. Different
CONNECTION by Dave Briggs combinations of the Antonacci clan have won the Hambletonian
with: Lindys Pride (1969), Speedy Crown (1971), Probe (1989),
Harmonious (1990) and Victory Dream (1994).
A win would also be a significant breeding triumph for the
Moni Maker Stable. Ready For Moni is the result of its efforts to
successfully blend French and American trotting blood to
produce a superior Standardbred. In the harness racing world, it
is still relatively rare for a North American mare to be bred to a
European stallion or vice-versa.
Ready For Moni is a son of French stallion Ready Cash out of
Nothing But Moni, a daughter of the famed American-bred Moni
Maker, who earned nearly $5.6 million in her racing career
competing both in North America and Europe.
The Hambletonian post time is 4:35 p.m., and will be aired on
a tape-delayed basis on the CBS Sports Network in a program

Antonacci and David Reid, the principals behind Thoroughbred
racing's Ice Wine Stable that has campaigned such stars at No
Nay Never, now standing at Coolmore Stud in Ireland, and this
year's promising 2-year-old Fauci (Malibu Moon).
Reid is also the owner of Preferred Equine Marketing, a
dual-breed sales agency that has its roots in the Standardbred
world. Antonacci, one of the owners of family-operated
Standardbred nursery Lindy Farms based in Connecticut, is also
an owner of the famed Lexington harness track the Red Mile, as
well as the GreatHorse golf club in Hampden, Massachusetts.

by Andrea Branchini
Marylin Monroan, the (roan) dam of Saratoga stakes winning
3-year-old colt Jolting Joe, is the gift that keeps on giving, when
it comes to ingenious names. After her foals Mr President--a
full-brother to Jolting Joe--and Somelikeithotbrown (Big Brown),
we now have a lovely reference to Marilyn=s second husband
Joe DiMaggio, one of whose nicknames was AJoltin= Joe@--
epitomized by the 1942 big-band song AJoltin' Joe DiMaggio", by
Ben Homer and Alan Courtney.
The AYankee Clipper@ (another of Joe=s nicknames) is one of
the best baseball players of all times and has pride of place also
in the moving lyrics of a famous Simon & Garfunkel song:
AWhere have you gone, Joe DiMaggio?/Our nation turns its
lonely eyes to you/Woo, woo, woo.@
Let=s hope the future career of this promising young colt
resembles the luminous one of his legendary namesake.

AMERICAN GRACE (f, 2, American Pharoah--Warrior Maid
{MSW & GSP, $496,109}, by Holy Bull), given a 5-2 chance in
this career bow, pressed the pace from second through an
opening quarter in :22.44. Taking control entering the far turn,
the homebred was a bit green in the lane, but was kept to task
by Gabriel Saez and driven clear to a 2 1/2-length victory.
Honorifique (Honor Code) was the runner-up. Warrior Maid is
also responsible for the yearling filly Amerimaid (American
Pharoah) and a 2020 filly by Uncle Mo. She was bred back to

UPCOMING GOFFS, TATTS IRELAND SALES

FEATURE ON SATURDAY Goffs has announced that its forthcoming Land Rover Sale of
National Hunt store horses will take place in Ireland as planned
despite a failed bid to have certain overseas buyers made
exempt from the country=s 14-day quarantine requirement for

at this August-long festival and said, AVolkan Star brought a very

Danilova (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}), who scored over the course and
seven-furlong distance last Saturday. Charlie Appleby said of
her, AWe are turning out Danilova quite quickly, but she has
come out of her last run in good order and has two good runs
over this course and distance under her belt. She will need to
improve again with the step up to this grade, but the signs have
all been good and we felt that this was a nice opportunity for
her.@
One of Danilova=s most notable rivals is Robert Tyrrell=s
impressive July 18 six-furlong Newbury maiden scorer Fly Miss
Helen (Fr) (Le Havre {Ire}), who bids to provide Richard Hannon
with a third success in the last five renewals. AShe=s done very
well since her first run. Sean [Levey] has been riding her in a lot
