Sire Vino Rosso Gets His First Stakes Winner In Bashford Manor

Representing freshman sire Vino Rosso, The Wine Steward recorded that stallion's first stakes winner with a victory at Ellis Park in the Bashford Manor S.

With a maiden-breaking score by 6 lengths against New York state-bred company May 28 at Belmont Park, the Mike Maker trainee shipped to Kentucky. Off at odds of 2-1, the bay colt chased leaders Go Otto Go (Bolt d'Oro) and Call Me Andy (Midshipman) to the outside of the second flight. Rounding the far turn, the $340,000 OBSMAR buy went three-wide with good energy and he put away his rivals past the eighth pole to win by 2 3/4 lengths over Wilson Q.

Out of a female family which includes MGSW Isotherm (Lonhro {Aus}), GISP Giant Game (Giant's Causeway) and GSW Skelly (Practical Joke), the winner is his dam's first offspring. She has also produced a yearling colt by Authentic and she foaled a filly by Curlin Mar. 6.

'TDN Rising Star' Gulfport showed Monday that he really is as good as his seven-length debut drubbing June 10, for which earned an 83 Beyer Speed Figure, as he dominated Churchill's Bashford Manor S. as an overwhelming 1-5 chalk.

Bidding to add to Hall of Fame trainer Steve Asmussen's record six wins (now three in the last five years) in this early season juvenile focal point, the bay broke on top from the fence and quickly cleared off. Doling out splits of :21.65 and :45.07 with one pesky pursuer in tow, he opened up rapidly when set down at the top of the lane and ran up the score by over a dozen lgnths. Owen's Leap edged out Andthewinneris for second. Gulfport's final time of 1:09.25 was the second fastest in the Bashford Manor's 121-year history behind only the Asmussen-trained future MGISW Kodiak Kowboy (1:09.15 in 2007). Asmussen also clinched the Churchill spring training title with the victory.

“We're so grateful for all of our owners to have horses like Gulfport. He's been extremely talented from an early stage and has shown us a lot of ability,” Asmussen said. “Today, when he broke from the rail, Brian got him into the perfect position on the lead and he never looked back.”

“I think that was something very special,” Hernandez added. “He really did all of that on his own. I let him break at the rail and he took me right to the front. It was extremely impressive. He's a really nice colt and did everything so easy today.”

A half-sister to this season's GII Twinspires.com Fair Grounds Oaks third Favor, Gulfport is out of a full-sister to brilliant GISW Cross Trafic, while second dam Stop Traffic was a MGISW. Most recently sold to Gainesway Farm for $320,000 this year at Keeneland January, Fame and Fortune has a yearling full-sister to the winner and was bred to Tapit for 2023.

Andthewinneris, Impressive Maiden Winner on Turf, Tries Dirt in Bashford Manor

Susan Moulton's Andthewinneris (Oscar Performance), an impressive debut winner over the turf at Keeneland in April (video), will move to the main track when he makes his second start in the Bashford Manor S. at Churchill Downs July 4. The bay colt had his second work over the Churchill main track Sunday, going four furlongs from the gate in :49.60 (50/95). He worked the same distance in a bullet :46.80 (1/156) June 18.

“There were, and still are, a lot of options we had for him after he broke his maiden,” trainer Wayne Catalano said. “I sent him over here [to Churchill Downs] to see how he'd handle this dirt course and he cruised over this track [June 18]. He worked :46 and change and galloped out really strong. We popped him out of the gate [Sunday] and just let him go easy so he can feel what it's like to break out of the gate on the dirt. He's shown us a lot of promise when he won first out. Susan bred him and he's a really nice-looking colt.”

Andthewinneris is out of Run Like the Boss (Scat Daddy), a mare purchased by Moulton for $30,000 while in foal to Astern (Aus) at the 2018 Keeneland November sale. The mare, in foal to Cupid, resold for $20,000 to Stephen Smith and Denise Jones at last year's Keeneland November sale.

Andthewinneris RNA'd for $67,000 at the 2021 Keeneland September sale, two months before his half-brother by Enticed sold for $42,000 as a weanling at the Keeneland November sale.

Also working at Churchill Downs Sunday, Last Samurai (Malibu Moon) went five furlongs in 1:01.40 (7/17) for new trainer D. Wayne Lukas. The Willis Horton colorbearer, who is pointing towards Saturday's GII Stephen Foster S., will be making his first start since winning the Apr. 23 GII Oaklawn H. for trainer Dallas Stewart.

Double Thunder Rallies To Win Bashford Manor For Pletcher, Phoenix Thoroughbred

East Coast invader Double Thunder from the powerful Todd Pletcher stable rallied into a collapsing pace from last to defeat Vodka N Water by 4 ¾ lengths in Saturday's 120th running of the $150,000 Grade 3 Bashford Manor Stakes for 2-year-olds at Churchill Downs. Glacial was another head back in third.

Ridden by Hall of Fame jockey John Velazquez, Double Thunder clocked six furlongs in 1:11.17.

Pletcher, who celebrated his 54th birthday Saturday, won the Bashford Manor for the third time after wins by Limehouse in 2003 and Circular Quay in 2006.

Double Thunder hopped at the start and was last as Lansdowne and Tapped Off set the pace through fractions of :21.00 and :45.30. Glacial, the filly Shesgotattitude, and Whatstheconnection also were in close pursuit down the backstretch.

Leaving the turn, Double Thunder commenced his rally as Glacial took over with 56-1 longshot Knocker Down on his right hip. Despite having to close from the back of the pack, Double Thunder had clear sailing down on the inside, swung out at the three-sixteenths pole, and easily ran down the weary Glacial, who was edged by a closing Vodka N Water for the place.

“I didn't think we would break as slow as he did so we had to adjust a little bit after the start,” Velazquez said. “Once I got to the quarter-pole, I had a lot of confidence in him and thought we had a big shot. He did everything professionally today. Warming up, he didn't handle going with the pony as well so I warmed him up by himself. I knew there would be a lot of speed in the race and wanted to keep him close – just not last. You don't expect a 2-year-old to handle things like that as well as he did. He took dirt and handled it well and I think he can move forward a lot from that.”

Double Thunder's triumph was worth $88,350 for owner Aamer Abdulaziz Ahmed's Phoenix Thoroughbred III Ltd. and increased his bankroll to $116,850 with a perfect record in two starts. His debut win came on June 5 at Monmouth Park.

A $60,000 yearling buy, Double Thunder is a 2-year-old son of Pletcher's 2010 Kentucky Derby winner Super Saver out of the Tapit mare Rattataptap. He was bred in Kentucky by WinStar Farm LLC.

Double Thunder returned $10.20, $6, and $3.80 as the 4-1 fourth betting choice. Vodka N Water, under Jose Ortiz at 7-1, paid $7 and $4.20. Glacial paid $3.40 to show under Joe Talamo at 3-1.

Knocker Down, 5-2 favorite Red Run, Shesgotattitude, Lansdowne, Whistlewhileyoumow, Whatstheconnection, and Tapped Off completed the order of finish. Rising Outlaw was a late scratch.

First run in 1902, the Bashford Manor is named for the former Louisville Thoroughbred breeding and racing farm that dominated the American racing scene in the early 1900s. George J. Long, a wealthy foundry owner, purchased Bashford Manor Farm in 1887 and developed the Thoroughbred operation that provided him two Derby wins as an owner, 1892 (Azra) and 1906 (Sir Huon), and three as a breeder, 1892 (Azra), 1899 (Manuel) and 1906 (Sir Huon). In addition, Bashford Manor also won the Kentucky Oaks in 1894 (Selika) and 1915 (Kathleen). The original Wilder family owned Bashford Manor. The Wilders were direct descendants of Lord Baltimore, whose English home was also called Bashford Manor. Long died in 1930 and the farm was eventually sold in 1973 to make way for the development of a mall complex, fittingly named Bashford Manor, that formally closed in 2003.
