The Derby 20 Presented By NYRA Bets: Shared Belief Loss Doesn’t Hurt Honor A. P.

Tiz the Law has done nothing wrong approaching the Travers, and though this Saturday's race is certainly not a “must-win” scenario for the Belmont Stakes winner, it will be an intriguing match-up at the Kentucky Derby distance. Unless the Barclay Tagg trainee is beaten double-digit lengths, Tiz the Law should remain the favorite on most Derby lists, including the Paulick Report's first 2020 edition of The Derby 20.

Honor A. P. holds the second spot this week, despite his loss in last Saturday's Shared Belief Stakes at Del Mar. The race was a bit short and it wasn't the end goal, so it shouldn't be a setback for the John Shirreffs-trained colt on the Road to the Kentucky Derby.

Equibase App Relaunched With Simplified Betting Tool

Equibase Company has rebranded and relaunched its popular Today's Racing app with a contemporary look and several new features, including a simplified betting tool, it was announced today by Equibase Company President and Chief Operating Officer Jason Wilson. Now branded as “Equibase,” the app is also compatible with iPads and can be downloaded free at itunes.com and play.google.com or by updating Today's Racing.

The free betting tool, known as “Smart Pick™,” creates a suggested ticket based on a set of user preferences, including risk tolerance, wager amount, and placing extra emphasis on aspects such as trainer, jockey, or horse pedigree.

“Smart Pick is the perfect tool for those who might not have the time or experience to analyze pages of past performances,” Wilson said. “Now more than ever, fans are following the sport right from their phones, and this newly enhanced app will not only serve the needs of existing fans, but also help develop new racing fans.”

Users of the app can now personalize the home screen with their favorite tracks and, with one click, add horses to Equibase's free Virtual Stable service to follow future activity. Additional information has been incorporated to entries data, including earnings per start, top Equibase Speed Figure, and the horse's finish in its last start.

The enhanced user experience also provides easy access to the latest news and racing information and has streamlined the purchasing process for handicapping products.

Additional features such as summary performance information for each horse entered in a race will be introduced later this year.

A premium version of the app is available, which removes in-app advertising and provides a free daily past performance and selection for a selected race.

Equibase Company is a partnership between subsidiaries of The Jockey Club and the Thoroughbred Racing Associations of North America and serves as the Thoroughbred industry's official database. Through its website and mobile applications, Equibase offers a comprehensive array of free statistical information as well as premium handicapping products and reports in support of the North American Thoroughbred racing industry.

Mohaather Targeting QEII

Last week’s G1 Sussex S. winner Mohaather (GB) (Showcasing {GB}) is aiming for the G1 Queen Elizabeth II S. on Champions Day as his next big target, with trainer Marcus Tregoning as-yet undecided as to whether the 4-year-old will have another start prior.

“His end-of-season target will be the QEII,” said Tregoning. “Whether something slots in before that we’re not sure yet, but Ascot is his main target.

“We could have really done with the [G1 Prix Jacques le] Marois being a week later than it is. There isn’t anything that slots in ideally, as the Marois is the 16th [of August] which is a bit quick and if we drop down to seven for the Foret [on Oct. 4] it’s too close to Champions Day. With the races all moved around it’s difficult. At least we’re now looking having won a Group 1; given how we felt after Royal Ascot things are a good bit different.”

Tregoning was not ruling out a tilt at the GI Breeders’ Cup Mile, either.

“The Breeders’ Cup is three weeks after Ascot this year so that would give him enough time, but that would be entirely down to Sheikh Hamdan. He is lightly raced so hopefully we’ll get a few more goes with him.”

Yarmouth Abandoned After Accident

Yarmouth’s Monday meeting was abandoned after the third race after jockeys expressed concern about a patch of false ground resulting from an accident.

Lord Chapelfield (GB) (Delegator {GB}) broke down during the card’s third race, with jockey Gabriele Malune taken to hospital for assessment, after which a group of jockeys inspected the turf course with Clerk of the Course Richard Aldous.

Aldous said, “The jockeys were concerned about the mark the horse made when he fell. They felt that the course wasn’t fit in their opinion. You have got to respect their opinion as they are the ones riding on it. We will now have a look at the course and take it from there. We will have a further look at the course this evening and tomorrow to see where we are at ahead of the meeting that is scheduled to take place on Friday.

“I think it was a unanimous decision by the jockeys and you have to respect that. It was terrible to see. Gabriele has gone to the James Paget Hospital in Gorleston for further assessment. He was awake and talking upon leaving the track.”

PJ McDonald was among those who inspected the course, and he said, “We found a patch of ground that was easier to move, with inconsistent ground underneath. We couldn’t tell if that was on a patch where they hadn’t raced yet, so we had to do the right thing and cancel the meeting.”

Amy Murphy, trainer of Lord Chapelfield, shed further light on the situation, saying, “It is horrible. Gabriele is my apprentice and we have lost a horse, so it is devastating. He was unconscious and not in a good way for the first five minutes, but the fact that he left in the ambulance talking is really all that matters.

“It is devastating for a team of our size to lose a horse as well, but the main thing that matters is that Gabriele is OK. He was moving all his legs and arms and was talking. Hopefully it will be short term rather than long term, but he has been taken off for full checks. It is one of those horrible things about this game unfortunately. I was watching it live and he did have a heavy fall and please God that he remains in one piece. I’m so sorry for the connections of the horse as he was a homebred and the breeders adored him. It is heartbreaking for them and my condolences go out to them.”
