A ‘Commanding’ Tokyo Debut For Deep Impact Colt

His passing in the summer of 2019 leaves an immense void in the worldwide breeding industry, but even posthumously, the legendary Deep Impact (Jpn) just keeps churning out the results.

On May 21, his 2-year-old son out of American listed winner and European multiple group-placed Premier Stars (Ire) (Footstepsinthesand {GB}) fetched an astonishing ¥517 million (£3.33 million) at a breeze-up sale and just nine days later, Shahryar (Jpn) provided the stallion with a seventh winner of the G1 Tokyo Yushun (Japanese Derby) and fourth in succession. At Epsom Friday, Snowfall (Jpn) turned the G1 Cazoo Oaks into an absolute procession, scoring by a record 16-length margin, and Saturday afternoon at Tokyo, Command Line (Jpn) lived up to advance billing with a 'TDN Rising Star'-worthy debut.

The $1.10 (1-10) mortal bounced without incident beneath Christophe Lemaire and took up a forward position as the well-meant Conch Pearl (American Pharoah) led at just an average tempo. The US-bred turned them into the long Fuchu straight and was past the 1200 metres in just 1:12.3, but Lemaire was sitting chilly aboard Command Line, eased him into the clear with about a furlong and a half to run and the duo whooshed home to score by three lengths. He covered his final 600 metres in :34.3.

Command Line is the latest to the races for his dam Condo Commando (Tiz Wonderful), who romped by better than 13 lengths in the 2014 GI Spinaway S., the premier race for 2-year-old fillies at historic Saratoga Race Course. Condo Commando was purchased by Katsumi Yoshida for $1.5 million at the 2015 Fasig-Tipton November Sale and visited Deep Impact in her first year at stud. The resulting produce became Al Jannah (Jpn), a ¥170 million purchase as a foal at the 2017 JRHA Select Sale and who has since gone on to place four times at group level, including a recent runner-up effort in the G2 Yomiuri Milers Cup at Hanshin Apr. 25. Condo Commando is the dam of a yearling filly by Heart's Cry (Jpn) and a filly foal by Lord Kanaloa (Jpn) that sells as lot 380 at next month's Select Sale. Four yearlings from the final crop of Deep Impact will also be on offer.

5th-Toyko, ¥13,400,000 (£86,388/€100,525/US$122,308), Newcomers, 2yo, 1600mT, 1:35.4, gd/fm.

How to Get Free Money and Hotel Rooms from the Casinos

Complaining:
Casinos want to take your money, even if you are not rich and only come to the casino with 50 dollars to play the nickel slots the casinos want your money, and if you complain about something they will offer you at the very least a free meal in one of the casinos restaurants just to make you happy. The louder you complain the more you will usually get, but make sure no to get to loud or they will have you removed for making a scene in the casino.

Pretend to be a Big Shot:
Have a friend call the casino and tell them that he is your personal assistant and he is looking to stay in the casino but he has some requests. If the casino believes you are calling for someone who may spend a large amount of money in the casino they may give you a free room, stock the bar with anything you request from $1,000 dollar bottles of Champaign to bowls of only the blue M&M candies.

Play Drunk:
Casinos love to give players drinks. This is because it makes them more willing to spend more money and it also makes them make poor decisions. The problem with this is that if you get into a drunken driving accident the casino can be found liable and it can cost the casinos millions in lawsuits and settlements. So if you are looking to try to get a free room for the night just pretend to be really drunk at a table and if you play it good enough you will have someone come and offer you a free room.

Reward Programs:
If you want the casinos to give you free things you do not have to try and scam them, all you really have to do is lose a lot of money. The more money you lose to the casinos the more player points they will give you towards free meals and room deals, and if you come often enough you will find the casino sending you vouchers for a free night at the casino and if you use it they will send you another every month until the first time you do not use it. To get these things just look for the reward program desk at the casino, they all have one and it is usually easy to find. Then all you have to do is give your card to the dealer when you first sit at a table and every bet win and lose is recorded on the card and the more you bet the more points you get, and when you lose you get even more points.

Know What You are Getting:
Make sure you know if you are getting a freebie or if you are expected to pay it back. I have seen people accept a line of credit from the casino, but they thought they were being given a freebie, it was only after spending over $1,000 dollars that he realized what had happened. Also a casino may ask you if you would like a room for the night make sure before you accept the room that it is a free room. Sometimes the casinos will ask a player if he is staying at the hotel and if they are not they will ask if you would like to this is NOT an offer of a free room, but many people think it is until they check out in the morning and have to pay a $200 room bill.

Casinos give away thousands of dollars in freebies away everyday, and if you want a piece of it all you have to do is know how to ask.

Freshman Sire De Treville Off The Mark at Salon-de-Provence

Haras du Mezeray resident De Treville (GB) (Oasis Dream {GB}) became the latest European freshman sire off the mark when Rashit Shaykhutdinov's homebred Diadema (Fr) (f, 2, De Treville {GB}–Panja {Ire}, by Dalakhani {Ire}) shed maiden status in Saturday's 5 1/2-furlong Prix des Alpilles at Salon de Provence. She had previously hit the board in starts at Marseille-Borely and was confidently supported into favouritism for this third start. Outbreaking all six rivals for an immediate lead, the 6-5 pick was stoked into action when threatened at the top of the two-furlong straight and kept on strongly under late urging to comfortably hold Alromy (Fr) (Al Wukair {Ire}) by two lengths. Diadema is the latest of four foals and second winner produced by a half-sister to GSW G2 German 1000 Guineas runner-up Peace In Motion (Hat Trick {Jpn}) and the dual stakes scorer Peace Society (Iffraaj {GB}). The April-foaled bay's MGSW second dam Peace Royale (Ger) (Sholokhov {Ire}) is kin to three black-type performers headed by G3 Fahrhofer Stutenpreis victrix Peaceful Love (Ger) (Dashing Blade {GB}), herself the dam of last term's G3 Prix La Force winner Pao Alto (Fr) (Intello {Ger}). Sales history: €20,000 Ylg '20 AROCT. Lifetime Record: 3-1-1-1, €15,300. Video, sponsored by TVG.

Kumin And Partners Remain In Baffert’s Corner Despite Medina Spirit Controversy

Sol Kumin's Madaket Stables, along with partners SF Bloodstock and Starlight Racing, remain committed to trainer Bob Baffert despite his recent controversies. The partnership, nicknamed “The Avengers,” continues to send horses to the embattled conditioner even with questions surrounding Baffert's ability to participate in the Triple Crown classics that he has dominated for much of the last quarter-century. In a recent conversation with the Blood-Horse's Bob Ehalt and Byron King, Kumin reiterated the group's continued confidence in the California-based Baffert.

“We bought over 30 2-year-olds that we plan to send to Bob,” Kumin said. “We have sent about 25 already. We plan to continue to support him.”

“The Avengers” hit it big with Baffert in 2020, with Grade 1 winners Authentic, Charlatan, and Eight Rings all part of their initial consignment of horses that the group had sent to California. Kumin and Starlight also partnered with China Horse Club and WinStar Farm in ownership of Justify, the 13th Triple Crown winner, also trained by the Hall of Famer. However, recent issues like Medina Spirit's positive tests for betamethasone and other positive tests for regulated substances in Charlatan and Gamine in 2020 have caused clients like Spendthrift and My Racehorse to move horses out of Baffert's barn for now.

While they await the Kentucky Horse Racing Commission's ultimate decision on Medina Spirit, tracks like Monmouth Park, Del Mar, and Santa Anita Park continue to permit Baffert to enter horses. For now, the New York Racing Association has temporary suspended the Hall of Fame trainer from running horses at their tracks while Churchill Downs, Inc. has taken a more strident position, barring Baffert from entering his horses at any of their properties for two years.
