Flay Buys Into Belmont Contender We the People

Celebrity chef Bobby Flay has acquired an interest in recent GIII Peter Pan S. romper and 'TDN Rising Star' We the People (Constitution), who figures to be one of the top betting choices in Saturday's GI Belmont S. on Long Island. The famed restaurateur also bought into Creator (Tapit) ahead of his Belmont victory in 2016. Flay joins an ownership group that consists of WinStar Farm, CMNWLTH and Siena Farm on the Rodolphe Brisset trainee.

“I'm thrilled to join the We the People team,” said Flay. “I have been an admirer of this colt since he started his career at the beginning of this year. I want to thank Lisa and Kenny Troutt of WinStar for giving me this exciting opportunity. Winning the 2016 Belmont with Creator will be a moment that me and my family will never forget.”

WinStar President, CEO, and Racing Manager Elliott Walden, added, “We appreciate Bobby wanting to partner with us again. He is great for the business, and a great partner.”

A 5 3/4-length debut winner going a mile at Oaklawn Feb. 12, We the People earned 'Rising Star' honors with a five-length allowance tally in Hot Springs one month later. He failed to fire when a low-odds seventh in the GI Arkansas Derby Apr. 2, but turned it around in a big way in the Peter Pan May 14, leading every step of the nine-furlong trip to score by 10 1/4 lengths.

A $110,000 Keeneland November weanling, We the People was a $220,000 Keeneland September purchase and was knocked down to WinStar for $230,000 at last year's Fasig-Tipton Florida Sale.

July 1 Could See Scratches If Horses, Trainers Aren’t Registered With HISA

As the Horseracing Integrity and Safety Authority (HISA) begins its big push to encourage people to register themselves and their racehorses ahead of a July 1 deadline, many are asking — what happens if we don't?

According to a feature in the Thoroughbred Daily News, non-registered horses and non-registered connections will not be able to race after the implementation deadline, but that doesn't mean the entry boxes will be backed up.

Entries for July 1 and after will still be taken for horses who aren't HISA-registered, and trainers will be informed if their entered horse isn't yet HISA registered so they can complete the process ahead of scratch time. The same will apply for trainers or owners who are entering horses but aren't registered themselves at entry time.

Riders who aren't registered with HISA will also be notified they need to complete registration ahead of change time, or could be taken off mounts.

Anyone who has a state racing commission license, with the exception of some vendors, will need to register with HISA. Most horses will need to be registered by the person who will be the responsible party for them, which will be the trainer in most cases. The registration process is free.

Flay Follows Winning Recipe From 2016, Buys Interest In We The People

Celebrity chef and renowned restaurateur Bobby Flay, who bought into Creator ahead of his 2016 Belmont Stakes (G1) triumph, has acquired an interest in leading Belmont Stakes (G1) contender We the People, an impressive 10 ¼-length winner of the Peter Pan Stakes (G3) in his most recent start. Flay joins the ownership group that includes WinStar Farm, CMNWLTH, and Siena Farm, and he is hopeful that the expanded partnership can create another winning recipe for the Belmont Stakes.

WinStar president, CEO, and racing manager Elliott Walden, said, “We appreciate Bobby wanting to partner with us again. He is great for the business, and a great partner.”

Trained by Rodolphe Brisset, We the People overpowered his rivals under Flavien Prat in winning the Peter Pan geared down inside the final 70 yards. The 3-year-old colt by WinStar stallion Constitution is produced from the Tiznow mare Letchworth, a half sister to graded stakes winner Stratford Hill and stakes winner and graded stakes-placed Armistice Day. This is also the family of multiple graded stakes winners and millionaires Harmony Lodge and Arkansas Derby (G1) winners Graeme Hall and Magnum Moon.

Bred in Kentucky by Henley Farms Inc., We the People broke his maiden at Oaklawn Park in his career debut in February and followed up that facile 5 ¾-length score with a five-length allowance win, also at Oaklawn. His only defeat came when seventh, beaten 13 1/4 lengths, in the Arkansas Derby (G1) on April 2. We the People turned in his final work ahead of the 1 ½-mile Belmont Stakes, the final leg of the Triple Crown, breezing four furlongs in :47.59 on Saturday, June 4.

WinStar bought We the People for $230,000 at last year's Fasig-Tipton Gulfstream Sale. He has won his three races by a combined 21 lengths and has earned $230,250.

Camelot’s Sammarco Prevails in G2 Union-Rennen Thriller

Gestut Park Wiedingen's homebred 3-year-old colt Sammarco (Ire) (Camelot {GB}–Saloon Sold {Ger}, by Soldier Hollow {GB}) outpointed subsequent sales-race winner Alaska Tiger (Ire) (Maxios {GB}) by a neck when annexing his Oct. 30 debut over 7 1/2 furlongs at Halle in his lone juvenile start and came back this term to finish second behind subsequent G2 Prix Hocquart third Lavello (Ire) (Zarak {Fr}) in Munich's May 1 G3 Bavarian Classic last time. The April-foaled bay enjoyed considerable support as the 14-5 second favourite for Monday's G2 Sparkasse KolnBonn – 187th Union-Rennen, Germany's premier trial for next month's G1 Deutsches Derby, and delivered on earlier promise to earn a tilt at that Classic with a narrow victory in the Weidenpescher venue's feature. The eventual winner was reined back after a sharp getaway and tracked a solid tempo in third as Bavarian Classic third and fourth Maraseem (Ire) (Nathaniel {Ire}) and So Moonstruck (Ger) (Sea The Moon {Ger}) raced up ahead along the backstraight. Bustled along as 17-10 pick So Moonstruck was sent to the front approaching the final quarter mile, he made continued headway to join that rival entering the final furlong and stayed on in game fashion to prevail by a head in a head-bobbing finish, with the duo six lengths clear of the remainder.

“Sammarco may only be small in stature, but he is all heart,” insisted winning rider Bauyrzhan Murzabayev. “The pace was good for him, which allowed him to gallop freely, so I had a good feeling all the way around.” Winning trainer Peter Schiergen added, “We were hoping he might be placed in the first three, but he won and that's even better. There's a good four-plus weeks to the [G1 Deutsches] Derby, so we have enough time to get him ready for the big day.”

Sammarco, who becomes the 30th pattern-race winner for his sire (by Montjeu {Ire}), is the first of three foals produced by Listed Winterkonigin-Trial third Saloon Sold (Ger) (Soldier Hollow {GB}), herself a granddaughter of Listed Baden-Baden Cup victrix Salonblue (Ire) (Bluebird). The latter's progeny list includes Listed Melbourne Cup Day Plate victor Salon Soldier (Ger) (Soldier Hollow {GB}), GSP Listed Junioren-Preis victrix Salonlove (Ger) (Lawman {Fr}) and Listed Premio Tadolina winner Monblue (GB) (Monsun {Ger}). She is also the second dam of Listed Preis der Baden-Badener Hotellerie & Gastronomie winner Serena (Ger) (Soldier Hollow {GB}). Salonblue is kin to G3 Curragh Cup victor Peppertree Lane (Ire) (Peintre Celebre) and stakes-winning G3 Preis der Deutschen Einheit second Salonhonor (Ger) (Highest Honor {Fr}). Another of Salonblue's siblings, Salontasche (Ger) (Dashing Blade {GB}), has four stakes performers to her credit headed by multiple stakes-winning G1 Preis der Diana (German Oaks) runner-up Sarandia (Ger) (Dansili {GB}) and G3 Bavarian Classic victor Saphir (Ger) (Black Sam Bellamy {Ire}). Sammarco's fourth dam is G2 German 1000 Guineas third Salonrolle (Ire) (Tirol {Ire}). Saloon Sold has the hitherto unraced 2-year-old filly Salon Starlet (Ger) (Saxon Warrior {Jpn}) and a yearling colt by Areion (Ger) to come.
