22.maj 2005 Emerald Downs

Novi svetski rekord na 1.300m 1:13.00 postavio je Sabertooth ( Petersburg - Exit's Baby/ Best Exit ) u trci u kojoj je bio bolji od Best On Tap koji je držao rekord staze 1:13.60 na Emerald Downs postavljen 31.maja 2004. Dosadašnji svetski rekord na ovoj distanci 1:13.24 postavio je Lucky Forever još 20.maja 1995 na Hoolywood Parku.
Sabertooth je 2002 dobio "Longacres Mile"/G3, a ovo mu je druga trka posle 19 meseci pauze. U prošlom startu došao je drugi iza Slewicide Cruise u "Seattle H." na 1.200m. Ovo mu je šesta pobeda u 21 startu uz zaradu od $273,075.
Očigledno je da je maj pravi mesec za brzince.

frakcije na 400m/800m: 21.80 / 43.20

Nathan Chavez, jahač: " It felt like he was going easy. He didn't even feel like he was going that fast at all. This is really a nice horse. I think he's even better than a couple years ago. "
Jim Penney, trener: " He ran very well. He's an easier horse to train now. Each race, with a horse like this, is paramount. "
Bob Sparling, vlasnik: " In 2003 we never thought he'd run again. He seemed to heal himself in the pasture. I never dreamt it could happen. "

Kitten's Joy (4g. / El Prado – Kitten's First) Eclipse Award Turf Horse of the Year 2004, povučen u priplod. Neposredno po trčanju u "BC Turf" jesenas, kada je bio drugoplasiran, podvrgnut je operaciji čipa u kolenu. Ove godine je imao dva starta: "Firecracker Handicap" (4.jul, pobeda) i "Arlington Million" (13.avgust, drugoplasiran).

U karijeri je dobio 9 od 14 startova uz zaradu od $2,075,791. U 2004 je dobio 6 od 7 startova; jedini poraz je bio na kraju sezone u "BC Turf". Najimpresivnije pobede prošle godine su mu bile u "Secretariat Stakes" i "Joe Hirsch Turf Classic".

Posle povlačenja iz trka Roses in May, ovo je još jedan set-back za Kena Ramsey-a.

"It's a shame, because he was such a great horse to be around. Who knows if you'll ever have one as good as him?" Dale Romans, trener

Od 1984 trka je otvorena i za starija grla. Autsajder Collier Hill 7g. (10-1) je veći deo trke bio na zaelju, da bi furioznim finišem potopio nade Vinnie Roe da će ostati neporažen. Sledeći start pobednika je verovatno Melbourne Cup. Ovaj globtroter j ezabeležio pobede u šest država: Škotskoj, Engleskoj, Irskoj, Emiratima, Švedskoj i Nemačkoj.

Alan Swinbank (trener Collier Hill): " The commentator said we were under pressure from three furlongs out, but I knew we weren't. Ever since we were third to Phoenix Reach in the Dubai Sheema Classic, I thought a mile and six furlongs was his trip. I've never doubted his ability and nor has Dean. "

Keeneland - rekordna cena na aukciji jarlinga

Sheik Mohammed bin Rashid al Maktoum je otvorio novčanik na jesenjoj aukciji jarlinga u Keeneland-u i za 23 grla ukupno platio $40,99M! Očigledno da princ ne žali para u želji da ispuni davnašnji san i konačno osvoji Kentucky Derby.

Među akvizicijama su i četiri jarlinga čiji je otac Storm Cat. Najskuplje plaćeni je Storm Cat - Tranquillity Lake plaćen čak $9,7M što je rekordna cena u 62 godine dugoj istoriji aukcije jarlinga. Samo tri sata pre ove kupovine, platio je $3,6M jarlinga Storm Cat - Secret Status (majka A.P.Indy-ja).

"šta košta da košta..."
- (Storm Cat - Tranquillity Lake) -

Da se dostigne rekordna cena aukcije pomogao je i John Magnier (Colmoore Stud) koji se uporno nadmetao sa šeikom. O kakvoj je predstavi reč govori i Geoffrey Rusell, Keeneland manager:
" We've always described auction sales as being theater and I don't think anybody would deny that it was, probably, some of the best theater anybody has seen. What makes this sale so important is that the principles are here. You have all the major players in the world. They are here themselves ... making decisions themselves, which opens more purse strings. "

Dubai Turf & Sheema Classic od sada trke na travi sa najvećim nagradnim fondom na svetu. Naime, nagradni fond ovih trka je povećan sa $2M na $5M! (U pitanju je običan uzvičnik, nikako oznaka za faktorijel*) Ukupan nagradni fond za Dubai World Cup je sada $21M. Najbogatiji trkaki dan u SAD Breeders' Cup ima fond od $14M. Do sada najskuplja trka na travi "Japan Cup" je "teška" $4,53M.

Prošlogodišnji pobednici ovih trka su:
Phoenix Reach(IRE) (Turf 2.400m) i Elvstroem(AUS) (Sheema Classic 1.777m).

" It's weird. We knew that Motivator was 50-50 to run on Tuesday and I knew that this horse was going spare. Aidan wanted an answer, so I went for Scorpion. I've got to say thanks to Sheikh Mohammed for letting me ride the horse and also thanks to Coolmore. I've got mixed emotions as I usually win these races for Godolphin and Sheikh Mohammed, and it feels peculiar to win for the main opposition. Hopefully, I will be back to win it for Godolphin next year. "

29.06.05.

Eddington (Unbridled-Fashion Star/Chief's Crown) završio je trkačku karijeru usled povrede mekog tkiva prednje desne noge tokom priprema za "Suburban Handicap". U poslednjem startu je zabeležio svoju prvu G1 pobedu u trci "Pimlico Special" dan pre "Preakness Stakes". Kao jarling kupljen je za $450.000 za Claiborn Farm, odakle je i njegov otac Unbridled. Kasno je sazreo kao trkač i tek se očekivalo da pokaže pun potencijal. U karijeri je pobedio u 6 od 17 startova; čak 10 puta u plasmanu uz zaradu od $ 1.216.760.
Bernie Sams, Claiborne's stallion director: "Obviously, we would have liked to see him run a few more times. However, we are thrilled he's coming to Claiborne. He is as much like his father as any son of Unbridled I've seen. "

Andre Fabre, trener: " The plan now is to save Hurricane Run for an autumn campaign. He will probably go for the Arc with one run somewhere before then.
There are always anxious moments when you have a runner in a Derby and Hurricane Run was still very green and immature today. You never win a Derby easily, but I wasn't too worried and I felt that he had everything to pass Scorpion. It means a lot to come to such a nice racecourse like The Curragh and win a Derby in the country of the thoroughbred. "

Kieren Fallon, jahač: " It means a lot to win this race, especially after thinking I'dwin it on North Light last year only to finish second. For years I have dreamed about winning this race, ever since I was an apprentice with Kevin Prendergast - it means everything.
I did come wide from the back as I hadn't riddenHurricane Run before. I thought I was on the best horse, but I wanted to get a clear run. He is still something of a baby and when I gave him one flick of the whip he picked up lovely. He travels for fun under you, but he idled a bit when he got to the front, just like his father used to.

Cumani, trener: " We are already thinking about the Arc de Triomphe with a run before in the Prix Foy. We will have to think about the King George now and I will be speaking with the owner but he is a horse that must have good or firmer ground to show his best.
Today Alkaased proved that the race at Epsom was not a true one. I have always thought him to be a good horse and he's improved at four and five.
There was a true pace in the Grand Prix and conditions were perfect. He beat a high-class field and I just hope the ground stay good for later in the season. Frankie made a great decision to remain on the rail. "

Lanfranco Dettori, jahač: " Alkaased has always been a good horse in his own right and he's never had the credit he deserves. I was surprised that nobody really wanted the rail which gave us all the gaps we needed. Once we caught the leader I knew the race was over. "

Olivier Peslier, jahač: "I did not plan to be too far back, but in the middle, and to stay inside. When I got my position I knew not to move. I waited a minute. He has a good turn of foot, but the second was doing well, too, and we had a fight with him."

Franklin's Garden je "vukao" trku do nekih 600m pre cilja kada na čelo uz barijeru izlazi Distinction. Ipak na oko 400m do cilja munjevit napad Wersterner- i pobeda Peslier-a. Komonveltska uzdanisa Vinie Roe je treim mestom malo utešio ostrvljane koji ove godine trpe teror rivala iz Francuske.

Shamardal (desno) izaziva Motivatora
- "St.James Palace Stakes" -

Kris McEvoy, jahač: " It was eas. He travelled well and when I saw a horse come to his girth and I let him quicken and away he went. I couldn't believe how far clear he was. I never gave him a smack. I'm very lucky to have had the ride on him. It's going to be a great race against Motivator. "

Sheikh Mohammad, vlasnik Shamardal: "I think it would be good for racing for the two to meet at Sandown. Motivator is a great mile-and-a-half horse but at ten furlongs, yes, I think Shamardal can beat him. It is great to win these races. He is a tough horse like his sire [Giant's Causeway] and is improving with his races like his sire."

Sheikh Mohammad je novi vlasnik Shamardal, pošto je dosadašnji vlasnik Abdullah Buhaleeba pretrpeo veliki gubitak u londonskom kazinu. Transfer ovog klasnog grla jejoš uvek obavijen misterijom.

Cristophe Soumillon, jahač: " I wanted to follow Rakti more and was waiting, waiting and waiting and when I wanted to take a breath he wanted to go on so I came too early. I had two or three bumps from the horse on my outside when turning for home which upset his balance a bit but really it was a perfect race. Before the race I didn't think about winning because I knew that Rakti was an unbelievable horse, that's why I was so excited after passing the post and threw my whip into the crowd. "

Blues and Royals (Honour and Glory-Dixieland Blues/Dixieland Band), pobednik "UAE Derby" eutanaziran je usled komplikacija od kolike. Ovo nije prvi slučaj problema sa kolikom štale Godolphin povezan sa transportom grla iz Emirata na udaljene destinacije. Tempera, šampionska omica 2002 je podlegla od kolike pošto je poslata u Kentucky na pripreme za KyOaks. Još jedna omica Baletto, povučena je iz trka usled komplkacija sa kolikom po dolasku na Belmont ovog proleća. Blues and Royals je posle pobede u derbiju Emirata planiran za KyDerby, a potom je sa Churchill Downs prebačen u Belmont.

Simon Crisford, Godolphin manager: "He was great on [Dubai] World Cup (UAE-G1) night. He won really well as you know and we were just hoping he could have a nice career in North America, but he couldn't be saved."

Ghostzapper (Awesome Again - Baby Zip/Relaunch) top grlo SAD a sigurno i u svetu, povučen je iz trka usled frakture sezamoida koja je otkrivena proše nedelje. Velika šteta za konjički sport, jer smo imali priliku da budemo svedoci i savremenici duge vladavine šampiona o kojem bi buduće generacije čitale kao što mi danas slušamo prie o legendama galopa na pesku kao što su Secretariat, Man O'War, Seattle Slew, Native Dancer...
Ghostzapper je u četiri trčanja ubeležio beyer speed figure od 120 i naviše; najviša ocena od kada se rauna BSF je bila u "Iselin H" od čak 128. Pobednik "BC Classic" 2004 je u poslednjem statu 30.maja lako bez korbača dobio "Metropolitan Mile H." u vremenu 1:33.29.
U ipak kratkoj karijeri prešao je put od sprintera kao trogodac do top handikap grla na distancama do 2.000m. U 11 startova 9 puta je pobedio uz zaradu od $3,446,120. Prošle godine je ostao neporažen u 4 starta. Biće smešten Adena Farms, a cenu pripusta možemo samo zamisliti.

Robert Frankel, trener: "It's disappointing because Mr. Stronach wanted to show everybody how great a horse he was."

usled kvara na kompjuterskom sistemu za klađenje, nije bilo moguće podii dobitke nakon trke, već će to biti omogućeno u ponedeljak (svaka sličnost sa našom stvarnošću je slučajna...)

Shamardal odbio kasni napad Hurricane Run

Shamardal sada ima dobijene prve dve trke francuske triple krune. Hurrican Run je u stilu svog imena zamalo dobio trku, a to bi svakako učinio da je cilj bio koji metar dalje. Nagovešteno je da bi se Hurricane Run mogao sresti sa pobednikom jučerašnjeg Epsom Derby-ja Motivatorom 26.juna kada se trči "Irish Derby". Dettori je već dobio francuski derbi 1992. na grlu Polytain

Lanfranco Dettori, jahač (Shamardal): " That was fantastic and as no-one else wanted to make the pace I did it. Shamardal couldn't really see Hurricane Run but must have picked up when he heard him."

Cristophe Soumillon, jaha (Hurricane Run): " Frankie rode a fantastic race. We went at a hack canter early on and at about two miles an hour. In another couple of strides we would certainly have won and Hurricane Run needs time to become balanced in the straight. "

Simon Crisford, Godolphin manager: " It was a masterful ride on a brilliant horse which doesn't have to make the running unless others fail to do so. The horse and the jockey did it together and if the race had still been a mile and a half we would probably have still run. We decided in March that his big race in the summer would be the Jockey-Club. He has improved enormously since the Poulains and was very relaxed in today's race. We will stick to around this distance which brings in races like the Eclipse and the Juddmonte, although he has plenty of options and a lot of entries. "

Gary Tanaka, vlasnik više G1 pobednika ( Rakti, Epalo(Ger), Sarafan, Keltos ) optužen je da je koristio novac svojih klijenata pri kupovini bar tri trkačka grla u periodu novembar 2003 - april 2005. Tanaka je zadržan u pritvoru bez mogućnosti polaganja kaucije do saslušanja 3.juna. Vlasnik je brokerske kuće "Amerindo Investment Advisors Inc.".

Motivator je nadmoćno dobio drugu trku za triplu krunu, marginom od 5 dužina. Tako je ponovio najveću razliku u cilju koju je postavio Generous 1991. Tako je ostao neporažen i u četvrtom startu. Sledeći start Motivatora je planiran za "Irish Derby" 26.juna.
Johnny Murtagh je posle ukidanja suspenzije opravdao očekivanja i po treći put u poslednjih pet godina dobio derbi (2000 Sinndar, 2002 High Chaparral).

Michael Bell, trener: " The horse has improved 100% from the Dante [Stakes], and the way he behaved today I think there is more to come. We are so lucky to have him. For us, a relatively small team, to have a horse of this quality and not to make a mess of it is just fantastic. He's looked a true champion at home, he's looked a true champion at the races. Obviously the next stage is Ireland and then we'll review it. "

Ghostzapper je lako dobio svoj prvi start posle sedam meseci. Na Belmontu sada ima skor 5-5. Ukupno, ovo je deveta pobeda (šest zaredom) u 11 startova u karijeri uz zaradu od $3,446,120. Vreme trke je jako blizu rekordu 1:32.80 iz 1996 koji drži Honour and Glory i ujedno je četvrto najbolje vreme u istoriji trke dugoj 112 godina.
On je tek peti nosilac titule "Horse of the Year" koji je potrčao i sa svojih pet godina. Pre njega su to bili: Cigar, Ferdinand i dve omice Azeri i Lady's Secret. Samo je Cigar odbranio naslov "Horse of the Year".
Niz od šest pobeda zaredom je utoliko veći jer je ostvaren na distancama u rasponu od 1.300m do 2.000m.

"You'll never run alone..."

Zanimljivo je da je je Clan Royal, drugoplasirani prošle godine imao čak osam dužina prednosti do drugog prelaska prepreke "Becher's" kada su ga dva grla bez jahača omela i on je odbio da preskoči prepreku.
Narodni favorit Forest Gunner je u sedlu imao jedinu damu Carrie Ford, koja je pokušala da bude prva žena koja je dobila ovu trku. Ipak, samo je izjednačila najbolji plasman jedne dame: 1994 51-godišnja Rosemary Henderson se plasirala na peto mesto sa svojim grlom Fiddlers Pike.

Hedgehunter & Ruby Walsh

Jahač pobedničkog grla Ruby Walsh je pre pet godina već osvojio "Grand National" sa grlom Papillon, a sam Clan Royal se iskupio za pad u poslednjem skoku prošlogodišnje trke.
Trka je održana pred 70.000 posetilaca, a računa se da je putem TV pratilo 600 miliona gledalaca. Na kladionicama je odigrano $470M.

John Henry 9.marta proslavio 30.rođendan.

Sadašnji cimer Cigar-a je tokom svoje 8 godina duge karijere dobio 39(33 stakes) od 83 starta među kojima je 16 grup trka, a poneo je čak dva puta titulu "Horse of the Year" i to sa 6 i 9 godina.
John Nicolson, Kentucky Horse Park direktor: "It has been such an honor for us to have John Henry all these years because he is, by all accounts, unquestionably one of the greatest racehorses of the century. He is highly intelligent and also happens to be quite a character who has kept us all on our toes for the 20 years he's been living here at the park."
"If there is one thing I could ask of the public on John's birthday, it would be to support Thoroughbred rescue organizations, such as the Secretariat Center here at the Kentucky Horse Park, in honor of John Henry. Many Thoroughbreds are not as fortunate as John, so if we can take this opportunity to do something to help a few at-risk Thoroughbreds, I think that will be a very appropriate, fitting tribute to this champion."

Mileposts: John Henry's toughness and heart recalled as gelding turns 30

When his cause seemed completely lost, John Henry prevailed

If any horse could live to be 30 years old--despite a checkered early career that saw him pass through the hands of multiple trainers and owners, a grueling campaign on crooked legs that earned seven Eclipse Awards (including two Horse of the Year honors), a foul disposition that made other renegades seem like Mister Rogers, and a near-fatal bout with colic at age 27--it would be John Henry, who was to celebrate that milestone on March 9 at his home in the Hall of Champions at the Kentucky Horse Park in Lexington.
John Henry retired to the Horse Park in 1985 as the richest Thoroughbred in history with earnings of $6,591,860. In retirement, he has enjoyed the adulation of fans during regular presentations each day, though sometimes he tires of his celebrity and makes his displeasure known by retreating to his stall in a huff at the end of his moment in the spotlight.
John Henry seemed invincible until the frigid morning of January 25, 2002 . The star of the Hall of Champions lay drenched in sweat in his paddock when groom Tammy Siters found him. He was going into shock, his gums pale, and his lips curled back in agony.
The Ole Bob Bowers gelding, who scored 39 victories in 83 career starts from age two to nine , had a formidable foe at his flank: colic.
With crucial minutes ticking away, Siters pleaded with John Henry to get on his feet. Suddenly, the gelding willed himself off the ground with the same grit he had mustered when he stuck his nose in front of The Bart to win the inaugural Arlington Million Invitational in 1981.
An awaiting van quickly carried John Henry from the Hall of Champions to Hagyard Equine Medical Institute, directly across from the Horse Park 's main entrance, where Michael Spirito, D.V.M., wasted no time getting him into surgery. Spirito removed seven feet of gut, including 18 inches of strangulated bowel that had gotten wedged through an internal abdominal hernia, then sutured the healthy sections back together.
Because of his advanced age, John Henry was given only a 7% chance of surviving surgery, but he had enriched many a bettor by beating long odds. Once again, when his cause seemed completely lost, John Henry prevailed. After two weeks' recovery under Spirito's care, John Henry returned to rule the Hall of Champions.
"It was an extreme pleasure to be able to save John Henry's life, a very enjoyable experience," Spirito said.
When asked how he had gotten along with the cantankerous senior citizen during his convalescence, Spirito joked, "When I came into the stall, he said, 'Thank you very much for saving me. I really appreciate it.' And he didn't bite me."
The March 9 birthday celebration marks the first time former owner and trainer Harold Snowden Jr. has seen John Henry since he sold him, for the second time, in April 1978.
"I hope he doesn't hold a grudge against me for castrating him, because I've forgiven him for all of his misgivings and shortcomings," Snowden said before the event. "I remember it vividly. It was so cold on the hill at Keeneland [Race Course], and I wanted to castrate this horse in February, but the vet kept telling me, 'It's too cold, wait until March, wait until it warms up some.' I didn't think March would ever come around!"
Although Snowden never won a race with John Henry, he measures his success with the horse by the profit he made from buying and selling him twice.
"It was a good ride with John," Snowden said. "I'm looking forward to seeing the old boy. When a horse does what John Henry did, you want to respect him. He is quite an exceptional athlete, and I'm glad that I was a small part of him."
Racing Hall of Fame trainer Ron McAnally, under whose tutelage John Henry flourished, was unable to attend the birthday celebration because of a heavy racing schedule but said he is not surprised the gelding made it to 30.
"With as big a heart as he has, there was no question. And the girls take great care of him there [at the Horse Park ]," McAnally said. "We chose for him to stay there on the advice of Ted Bassett at Keeneland, and it was only about ten miles from where he was born [at Golden Chance Farms].
Reminiscing about John Henry's racing career, McAnally said, "He was special. Not often do you get a horse that every time you lead him over there, you know they have him to beat. He was very competitive." McAnally also remembered the lighter times.
"Occasionally, when you were walking him, he would put his left leg out in front of you and try to trip you," McAnally said. "He was just playful. But he would do that with even his regular hot walker or groom or most anybody. He would throw that left leg out in front of me, too.
"He was one of the great ones," McAnally concluded.
John Henry and McAnally both were inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1990. Four of his jockeys also are members: Bill Shoemaker, Laffit Pincay Jr., Angel Cordero Jr., and Chris McCarron.-- Denise Steffanus

I Two Step Too, jedan od konja koji su "glumili" u filmu "Seabiscuit" istoimenog junaka, uspavan je u svojoj dvanaestoj godini, usled komplikacija izazvanih tumorom sinusa. Kako je bio prilično startno grlo, korišćen je u scenama kada Seabiscuit izlazi na čelo trke. Kao deo obrazovnog programa, bio je jedna od atrakcija parka. Tokom svoje trkačke karijere dobio je 7 od 53 starta.
John Nicholson, Kentucky Horse Park executive director: "This is a sad day for all of us at the park. This horse was not only very popular with our visitors, but was greatly loved by everyone who worked with him. I Two Step Too was a kind, gentle animal who gladly received thousands of visitors and never lost his patience."

Hard as a rock: Rock Hard Ten & Congrats (drugi plan)

Trener Richard Mandella je odlično odradio posao. Njegovi puleni su odeli prva dva mesta u nagradnom fondu od $1M. Ovo je ujedno i njegov treći "Big Cap", što je joiš uspeo da načini i Ron McAnally. pokojni Charile Wittingham je rekorder sa čak 9 pobeda. Sa 35.484 posetioca, ovo je druga najbolja poseta ovog trkačkog dana od 1996.
Richard Mandella, trener: " He's accomplished everything now. To win the Malibu and now the Santa Anita Handicap, you've got to have a couple different gears and he's pretty nice. "
Gary Stevens je osvojio "Big Cap" po deseti put, što su još uspeli i Johnny Longden i Don Pierce. Pokojni Bill Shoemaker drži rekord sa 11 pobeda.
Gary Stevens, jahač: " This was a real nice early birthday present. I don't know if it's because I'm getting older or what, but it's getting sweeter. I'm enjoying them more, I'm enjoying my days more "
Rock Hard Ten je ušao široko spolja u ciljni pravac, a na čelo je izbio na poloini pravca. Slično je široko išao i Congrats; može biti da je Mandella dao instrukcije da se izbegne gužva u završnici. Rock Hard Ten, najveći među prošlogodišnjim derbistima sada ima ukupnu zaradu od $1,570,380.
Prvi favorit, Saint Liam ("Donn Handicap") je razočarao tek šestim mestom.
Edgar Prado, jahač:"I was done on the backside. He didn't handle the track very well. When you call him, he responds right away, but today he was kind of shut down.

Sun King dobio 104 beyer speed figure; najbolje ocenjen trogodac u 2005 na bilo kojoj distanci. Očekuje se da bi do derbija imao sigurno još dva starta, za razliku od većine viđenih favorita koji bi do derbija imali ukupno dva starta u 2005. Sledeći start se očekuje za "Tampa Bay Derby", a potom ili "Wood Memorial" ili "Blue Grass"
Nick Zito, trener: "As a trainer, I may feel that two races is all I can do with a particular horse. I had a horse like that last year in Birdstone [winner of the Belmont and Travers], who did better with a lighter schedule. What I really wish is that they had kept everything the same. What I'm going to do is keep every possible option open. I owe it to my owner to do that."

Saint Liam će pokušati da dobije "Big Cap" sa top opterećenjem. Uz to ide i činjenica da je poslednji put grlo koje nije stacionirano u Kaliforniji dobilo ovu trku bilo još 1987. kada je Broad Brush (Merilernd) trijumfovao ispred Ferdinanda(KyDerby '86). Glavni oponenti će mu biti Rock Hard Ten("Strub S") i Lundy's Liability("San Antonio H."). Musique Toujours ("Sunshine Millions Classic") neće biti na startu usled naprsline kopita.

Bye, All Along

Prvi nosilac titule "Hose of the Year" koji nije bio sa teritorije SAD, All Along uspavana je usled komplikacija izazvanih poznim godinama na farmi Three Chimneys.

Poduhvat koji je ostao zapamćen je njena pobeda u četiri G1 trke u tri države tokom perioda od 41-og dana te sada davne 1983. Prvo je porazila muško društvo u "Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe" - Longchamp, da bi potom dobila i "International Stakes" - Woodbine, "Turf Classic" - Aqueduct i na kraju "Washington D.C. International" - Laurel Park. Trenutak u pobedničkom padoku na slici gore je upravo poslednja od četiri - Laurel Park. Te godine je ponela titulu konja godine u Francuskoj i najbolje omice na travi u SAD.

Daniel Wildenstein, sin vlasnika Aleca Wildensteina: "She took us—my father, my brother and myself—on a joy ride like no other, culminating in an achievement we scarcely dared to dream about, which was Horse of the Year in America. Sad as it is to lose her, I am glad she had such a long and healthy life in return for all the happiness she gave us."

U priplod je povučena sa pet godina kao žensko grlo sa najvećom zaradom ikada, dobivši devet od 21 starta, a uvedena je u Hall of Fame 1990. Dala je 13 ždrebadi od kojih je 11 trčalo, četiri su dobili trke. Jedini stakes pobednik je ždrebe koje je dala sa Mill Reef-om.

Sahranjena je pored Igual, majke Assault-a, osvajača triple krune 1946.

Saint Liam, pobednik "Donn H." ipak neće putovati za Dubai. Posle dužeg premišljanja, iako je očigledno da bi imao velike šanse da "odlomi" $3.6M prve nagrade, glavni cilj vlasnika je kako su najavili titula "Horse of the Year" u 2005. Ghostzapper bi trebalo da prvi start ima u 9.aprila u trci $500.000 "Oaklawn Handicap", Roses in May izvesno je sada prvi šans za $6M "Dubai World Cup", a u prvi plan tek treba da izađu junaci priče ovogodišnje triple krune. Sve u svemu za Eclipse Award ima vremena iako po nama Saint Liam je u velikom usponu forme koju smo najavljivali još prošle godine posle "New Orleans H." i "Woodward Stakes".
Lost in the Fog, pobednik "Sunshine Millions Dash" bi trebalo da isto dana startuje u $150.000 "Swale Stakes" na 1.400m gde bi mu glavni rival trebao biti Chandtrue, neporažen u tri starta.

Cagnes sur Mer

Fabrice Chappet, sadašnji trener i od dolaska u Francusku do ove trke po papirima formalni vlasnik grla Billy Allen (tripla kruna 2004 u Srbiji) dao je izjavu za Paris Turf u kojoj se nada dobrom trčanju svoja dva pulena na 2.000m. Red Snake po njemu ima šansi za plasman, dok Billy Alen specijalista za pesak po rečima Chappet-a se dobro pokazao nizom pobeda u Srbiji kao i prošlom pobedom u slabijoj grupi nego što ga očekuje u narednoj trci. Chappet procenjuje da će to biti veliki izazov i posle ove trke će biti jasnije koje su prave mogućnosti ovog grla. Istog dana startuje i Dolce Vita (YUG) na 1.300m.

Eclipse Award 2004

Ghostzapper je i zvanino Horse of the Year 2004. Rezultat glasanja na kraju je bio: Ghostzapper vs Smarty Jones 174 : 95. Oba grla su u svojiim divizijama nadmoćno proglašeni za Best Older Male tj. Best 3yo.
Smarty Jones je fenomenalnom kampanjom do samog kraja triple krune tada bio "the one and only" ali je porazom za dužinu (Birdstone) u Belmontu i povlačenjem iz trka dva meseca kasnije otvorio vrata sada je jasno trenutno najboljem galoperu.
Ghostzapper (Duško od milja u bgtuf-u) koji je kao trogodac trčao kratke distance, je prelaskom u trening kod Frankela tek pokazao pravo lice. U karijeri za dve godine ima impresivan rekord 10-8-0-1 uključujući 3 Gr-1 i po jednu Gr-2 i Gr-3 trku uz zaradu od $2,996,120.
