										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Spendthrift Farm's Grade I winner <strong>Yaupon</strong> (<a href="https://coolmore.com/farms/america/stallions/uncle-mo" class="horse-link">Uncle Mo</a>) sired a colt, his first reported foal, on Jan. 13 at Rockridge Stud in Hudson, New York.</p>
<p>Bred by Rockridge Stud, Saratoga Glen Farm and Pete Beals, the dark bay is out of MSW Frost Giant mare Frostie Anne, an earner of $584,443.</p>
<p>&#8220;This colt is good sized, born at around 122 pounds. He's very balanced and correct, and you can tell he's going to have a big hip,&#8221; said Lere Visagie, owner of Rockridge Stud. &#8220;I've had three foals out of this mare and every foal has been better than the one before. I'm quite happy with this Yaupon.&#8221;</p>
<p>Trained by Steve Asmussen, Yaupon won six of his eight races including the first four starts of his career in 2020. Those wins included the GII Amsterdam S. at Saratoga and GIII Chick Lang S. at Pimlico, and he was the favorite in that year's GI Breeders' Cup Sprint as a 3-year-old. Yaupon's 4-year-old campaign was highlighted by the final race of his career, when he won the GI Forego S. at Saratoga.</p>
<p>Campaigned by Bill and Corinne Heiligbrodt, the son of leading sire <a href="https://coolmore.com/farms/america/stallions/uncle-mo" class="horse-link">Uncle Mo</a> earned $703,264. He is out of the Grade I-placed Vindication mare Modification.</p>
<p>Yaupon is set to stand his second season at stud at Spendthrift for a fee of $30,000 S&amp;N.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The owners of <strong>Drafted </strong>(Field Commission) have appealed a ruling handed down by the Horse Racing Integrity and Safety Authority (HISA) that could cost them $26,000 in purse money because their jockey Luis Castro violated HISA rules regarding the use of the whip. The incident occurred in the GI Forego S., where Drafted finished fifth.</p>
<p>NYRA stewards determined that Castro hit the gelding 10 times during the race. Under HISA regulations that have been in place since July 1, a rider cannot whip a horse more than six times.</p>
<p>According to the <em>Daily Racing Form</em>, under HISA rules, if a jockey strikes a horse seven to nine times during a race, there is no loss of purse. Instead, the rider is fined and suspended for one day. And when a jockey hits a horse 10 to 13 times, the jockey receives a three-day suspension and the horse is disqualified when it comes to purse earnings.</p>
<p>The owners are Thomas O'Keefe, Truls Engebretsen and Kevin Hilbert and they are seeking a reinstatement of the purse. The trainer is David Duggan. The group is being represented by attorney Andrew Mollica. Mollica contends that the owners' rights to due process have been violated because there was no hearing and no appeal process.</p>
<p>&#8220;My clients are making a serious appeal here,&#8221; Mollica said. &#8220;The loss of purse money by owners for alleged crop violations is not only unconstitutional it is flat our wrong. My clients are fighting this not only for themselves but all owners who race in New York. It is a cause that frankly all NYTHA should join because all of its members will one day or another be adversely effected.&#8221;</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Previously unbeaten at Saratoga and for the season, champion <strong>Jackie's Warrior</strong> (<a href="http://www.hillndalefarms.com/macleans-music/" class="horse-link">Maclean's Music</a>) became the latest victim of the &#8220;Graveyard of Champions&#8221; Saturday when run down late by the ever-improving <strong>Cody's Wish</strong> (<a href="http://www.hillndalefarms.com/curlin/" class="horse-link">Curlin</a>).</p>
<p>The 1-9 favorite hustled up to dictate terms and was pressed by longshot <strong>Pipeline</strong> (<a href="https://www.winstarfarm.com/horses/speightstown-2018.html" class="horse-link">Speightstown</a>) through a :22.75 opening quarter and :45.10 half-mile while 8-1 shot Cody's Wish raced in a joint last. Jackie's Warrior turned for home in front with a stubborn Pipeline breathing down his neck and Cody's Wish winding up out in the center of the track. Jackie's Warrior shook loose as three quarters went up in 1:08.76 and appeared home free. However, Cody's Wish was just hitting his best stride and swept by the favorite just a few steps from the wire to spring the upset by 1 1/4 lengths. Pipeline held on for third.</p>
<p>&#8220;I really thought the style of this race would suit this horse. I was glad to see somebody going with [Jackie's Warrior], for sure,&#8221; said winning trainer Bill Mott, who also trained fourth-place finisher <strong>Baby Yoda</strong> (Prospective). &#8220;I didn't think it was going to be either of mine. I thought both of ours were going to settle back. I didn't know whether we were going to be laying second, third or fourth, and actually Cody's Wish was back a little further. I thought he'd be a little closer to the pace early, but as it turned out it was good that somebody entertained Jackie's Warrior a little bit. When he cut the corner at the three-eighths pole, I saw him moving. I know when he starts moving, he keeps moving.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;When we turned for home and I saw Jackie's Warrior didn't take off, at that point we're taking a good shot at it, and right by the eighth pole I had a good feeling at that point,&#8221; said winning rider Junior Alvarado. &#8220;I still never underestimated Jackie's Warrior, but by the eighth-pole I definitely was all out and I knew it was going to happen today.&#8221;</p>
<p>Graduating at fourth asking at Churchill in October, Cody's Wish followed suit with a pair of allowance wins beneath the Twin Spires in November. Missing by a neck in Tampa's GIII Challenger S. Mar. 12, the homebred romped in Belmont's GIII Westchester S. in the slop May 7, running a 104 Beyer Speed Figure. He entered this off a win in Churchill's Hanshin S. July 4.</p>
<p><strong>Pedigree Notes:</strong></p>
<p>Cody's Wish is the 19th Grade I winner for his legendary sire <a href="http://www.hillndalefarms.com/curlin/" class="horse-link">Curlin</a>. Sheikh Mohammed's operation purchased the winner's Grade I-winning dam Dance Card for $750,000 as a 2-year-old at the FTKFEB sale. All three of her foals to race are black-type runners with the other two being MGSP Endorsed (<a href="https://www.darleyamerica.com/stallions/our-stallions/medaglia-doro" class="horse-link">Medaglia d'Oro</a>) and SP Bocephus (<a href="https://www.darleyamerica.com/stallions/our-stallions/medaglia-doro" class="horse-link">Medaglia d'Oro</a>). Her recent produce includes a yearling colt by Into Mischief and a 2022 filly by <a href="https://www.darleyamerica.com/stallions/our-stallions/street-sense" class="horse-link">Street Sense</a>. The 13-year-old mare was bred back to <a href="https://www.threechimneys.com/horse/gun-runner/" class="horse-link">Gun Runner</a>.</p>

<p>Intriguing storylines abound in this year's eight-horse renewal of the summer centerpiece for sophomore colts, which is topped by GII Jim Dandy S. winner <strong>Epicenter</strong> (<a href="http://www.taylormadestallions.com/horses/not-this-time-31064.html" class="horse-link">Not This Time</a>). The GI Kentucky Derby and GI Preakness S. runner-up looks to provide Hall of Famer Steve Asmussen with his first Travers and add another bullet point to his hot young sire's resume.</p>
<div class="videoWrapper"> <iframe loading="lazy" width="853" height="480" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/E6smDn8te9A" title="TDN-Three Chimneys Weekend Preview: Travers Week" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe> </div>
<p>&#8220;I love the race that he ran over this racetrack. I like him at a mile and a quarter,&#8221; Asmussen said. &#8220;Nothing but respect for some extremely good 3-year-olds, but I think we have the right one.&#8221;</p>
<p>Chad Brown's best previous Travers finish was third with Miles D (<a href="http://www.hillndalefarms.com/curlin/" class="horse-link">Curlin</a>) in last year's renewal. He saddles three this year in Preakness winner <strong>Early Voting</strong> (<a href="https://www.threechimneys.com/horse/gun-runner/" class="horse-link">Gun Runner</a>); GI Toyota Blue Grass S. winner and Jim Dandy runner-up <strong>Zandon</strong> (<a href="http://www.airdriestud.com/horses/upstart.html" class="horse-link">Upstart</a>); and impressive <a href="http://www.hillndalefarms.com/curlin/" class="horse-link">Curlin</a> S. winner and <a href="https://www.thoroughbreddailynews.com/immaculately-bred-arrogate-colt-gets-rising-star-nod/"><strong>'TDN Rising Star'</strong></a><strong> Artorius</strong> (Arrogate).</p>
<p>&#8220;The only reason I'm in this profession is from coming to Saratoga with my family as a kid,&#8221; Brown said. &#8220;It doesn't get any bigger than that, to win the jewel of their meet and the history surrounding the race. Coming to the Travers with my parents when I was knee-high is the only reason I'm here in the first place.&#8221;</p>
<p>Artorius is the lightest-raced horse in the field, but his late sire had just two more starts under his belt, and none in stakes company, when he powered home to a record-setting 13 1/2-length victory in this event in 2016. The last Travers winner to sire a Travers winner was 2004 victor Birdstone, who is responsible for 2009 scorer Summer Bird.</p>
<p>&#8220;The horse brought himself here since we got him to his debut at Keeneland,&#8221; Brown said. &#8220;Moving forward, he's always worked right on schedule, and he's done everything that we've asked him to do. He's been stretching out nicely and his first two-turn race was impressive, his best race. I have a lot of optimism that horse will be able to carry another eighth of a mile.&#8221;</p>
<p>Brad Cox captured last year's Travers with champion <a href="https://www.darleyamerica.com/stallions/our-stallions/essential-quality" class="horse-link">Essential Quality</a> (<a href="https://gainesway.com/stallions/tapit/" class="horse-link">Tapit</a>) and looks to take the elusive GI Haskell Inviational S./Travers double this year with <strong>Cyberknife</strong> (<a href="https://www.threechimneys.com/horse/gun-runner/" class="horse-link">Gun Runner</a>). His phenomenal young sire could only manage third behind Arrogate in the 2016 Travers, but proved 10 furlongs was well within his wheel house when taking the GI Breeders' Cup Classic.</p>
<p>The feel-good story of the year could add another chapter Saturday as Kentucky Derby upsetter <strong>Rich Strike</strong> (Keen Ice) looks to rebound from a sixth-place finish in the GI Belmont S. Saturday at the Spa.</p>
<p><strong><em>Jackie and Jack Headline Grade I Sprints</em></strong></p>
<p>The first Grade I of the day should set the mood quite nicely as champion<strong> Jackie's Warrior</strong> (<a href="http://www.hillndalefarms.com/macleans-music/" class="horse-link">Maclean's Music</a>) looks to take his Saratoga record to six-for-six in the GI Forego S. The fleet-footed bay is four-for-four this year, including a sizzling last-out score in this venue's GI Alfred G. Vanderbilt H. July 30.</p>
<p>&#8220;He's immortal,&#8221; Asmussen said. &#8220;He's the only racehorse ever to win a Grade I three years in a row at Saratoga. The only horse, ever, at Saratoga.&#8221;</p>
<p>None of the other six competitors even come close to being able to run with the Eclipse winner on paper, but GIII Westchester S. romper <strong>Cody's Wish</strong> (<a href="http://www.hillndalefarms.com/curlin/" class="horse-link">Curlin</a>) appears best of the rest.</p>
<p>Just 117 minutes later sophomore sprinters get their turn, but once again it looks like a one-horse affair with the presence of <a href="https://www.thoroughbreddailynews.com/munnings-colt-lives-up-to-the-hype-gets-rising-star-nod-at-the-spa/"><strong>'TDN Rising Star'</strong></a><strong> Jack Christopher</strong> (<a href="https://coolmore.com/farms/america/stallions/munnings" class="horse-link">Munnings</a>). The speedy chestnut suffered his first loss when attempting two turns for the first time last out in the Haskell. Undefeated around one turn, including a 10-length demolition of the GI Woody Stephens S., the chestnut will be just about impossible to catch at his best.</p>
<p>&#8220;I thought the horse ran great in the Haskell. He ran a fast three-quarters in 1:09 and change and he fought on nicely,&#8221; Brown said. &#8220;He just didn't have quite enough late, but I thought it was a really good race. The horse has never disappointed me in a race. I'm happy to cut him back on a track that I know he likes. I hope he gets a good, clean break.&#8221;</p>
<p>He is joined by GII Amsterdam S. one-two <strong>Gunite</strong> (<a href="https://www.threechimneys.com/horse/gun-runner/" class="horse-link">Gun Runner</a>), winner of the GI Hopeful S. last term, and the chalk's stablemate <strong>Accretive</strong> (<a href="https://coolmore.com/farms/america/stallions/practical-joke" class="horse-link">Practical Joke</a>).</p>

<p>Four of the five runners from Belmont's June 11 GI Ogden Phipps S., including regular rivals <strong>Malathaat</strong> (<a href="http://www.hillndalefarms.com/curlin/" class="horse-link">Curlin</a>) and <strong>Clairiere</strong> (<a href="http://www.hillndalefarms.com/curlin/" class="horse-link">Curlin</a>) face off yet again in a five-horse renewal of the GI Personal Ensign S.</p>
<p>Clairiere has come out on top in her last two meetings with champion and GI Kentucky Oaks winner Malathaat, edging her by a head in the Phipps and besting her in this venue's GII Shuvee S. July 24. Her dam Cavorting closed out her career with a decisive score in the 2016 Personal Ensign.</p>
<p>&#8220;She's racing royalty and she's in great form,&#8221; Asmussen said. &#8220;She's capable. It's within her and she continues to get better. I expect another huge race against great mares in the Personal Ensign. Letruska and Malathaat are as good as race mares can be.&#8221;</p>
<p>Champion <strong>Letruska</strong> (Super Saver) looks to defend her title in this event. While she was well beaten by her younger foes when folding her tent in the Shuvee, the bay did triumph over Clairiere earlier this season in the Apr. 23 GI Apple Blossom H. at Oaklawn.</p>
<p>GIII Molly Pitcher S. winner and Phipps third <strong>Search Results</strong> (Flatter) and Shuvee third <strong>Crazy Beautiful </strong>(<a href="https://lanesend.com/liamsmap" class="horse-link">Liam's Map</a>) round out the quintet.</p>
<p><strong><em>BC Qualifiers Coast-to-Coast</em></strong></p>
<p>Rounding out Saturday's Grade I action at Saratoga is the Sword Dancer S., a &#8220;Win and You're In&#8221; for the GI Breeders' Cup Turf S. at Keeneland in November. When Aidan O'Brien ships one in, it's a horse worth paying attention to and he saddles Group 1 winner <strong>Broome (Ire)</strong> (<a href="https://coolmore.com/farms/ireland/stallions/australia" class="horse-link">Australia {GB}</a>) here. Winning the G2 Hardwicke S. at Royal Ascot June 18, he wheeled back just five days late to be fourth in the G1 King George VI and Queen Elizabeth S.</p>
<p><strong>Gufo</strong> (Declaration of War) adds blinkers for this title defense and Chad Brown saddles three&#8211;<strong>Adhamo (Ire)</strong> (Intello {Ger}), <strong>Rockemperor (Ire)</strong> (<a href="https://coolmore.com/farms/ireland/stallions/holy-roman-emperor" class="horse-link"></a><a href="https://coolmore.com/farms/ireland/stallions/holy-roman-emperor" class="horse-link">Holy Roman Emperor</a> {Ire}) and <strong>Tribhuvan (Fr)</strong> (Toronado {Ire})&#8211;in search of his fourth win in this event.</p>
<p>The <a href="https://lanesend.com/westcoast" class="horse-link">West Coast</a> also plays host to a Breeders' Cup qualifier in the GII Pat O'Brien S., which grants the winner a spot in the GI Breeders' Cup Dirt Mile starting gate. Bill Mott makes the journey to Del Mar with an imposing contender in GI Carter H. winner <strong>Speaker's Corner</strong> (<a href="https://www.darleyamerica.com/stallions/our-stallions/street-sense" class="horse-link">Street Sense</a>), who hit the board behind the country's top two racehorses, Flightline (<a href="https://gainesway.com/stallions/tapit/" class="horse-link">Tapit</a>) and Life Is Good (Into Mischief), in his last two outings.</p>
<p>His biggest competition here comes from GI Bing Crosby S. and GII Triple Bend S. winner <strong>American Theorem</strong> (<a href="https://coolmore.com/farms/america/stallions/american-pharoah" class="horse-link">American Pharoah</a>).</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Bill and Corinne Heiligbrodt's <strong>Yaupon </strong>(<a href="https://coolmore.com/farms/america/stallions/uncle-mo" class="horse-link">Uncle Mo</a>&#8211;Modification, by Vindication), who became his sire's ninth Grade I winner with a tenacious victory in the Forego S. at Saratoga Aug. 28, suffered an injury while training towards the GI Breeders' Cup Sprint at Santa Anita Friday morning and has been retired from racing. It was previously announced that the 4-year-old would be entering stud at Spendthrift Farm for the 2022 breeding season.</p>
<p><em>Daily Racing Form</em> was first to report the news.</p>
<p>Bred in Kentucky by the partnership of Betz, Lamantia, CoCo Equine, Magers and Burns and trained by Steve Asmussen, Yaupon ran the table through the first four starts of his career, including Saratoga's GII Amsterdam S., clocking 1:08.50 for the six furlongs. The dark bay colt added the GIII Chick Lang S. on the Preakness undercard last October, scoring by four lengths and cementing his status as the favorite for last year's GI Breeders' Cup Sprint at Keeneland. He endured a troubled trip and finished down the field.</p>
<p>Yaupon bounced back from an often-taxing trip to Dubai for the G1 Golden Shaheen in March with a 1 3/4-length success in Pimlico's Lite the Fuse S. July 4 prior to the Forego, his first try over seven furlongs, in which he got the better of a stirring final-furlong tussle with and an attempted savaging by the classy Firenze Fire (Poseidon's Warrior).</p>
<p>At Spendthrift, Yaupon is slated to stand alongside the Heiligbrodts' champion sprinter Mitole (Eskendereya).</p>
<p>&#8220;Aside from being extremely fast, Yaupon is one of the best-looking sons of <a href="https://coolmore.com/farms/america/stallions/uncle-mo" class="horse-link">Uncle Mo</a> you will find anywhere,&#8221; Spendthrift General Manager Ned Toffey said when news of Yaupon's addition to the stallion barn was announced earlier this month. &#8220;When breeders come out to the farm and see a fast Saratoga Grade I winner by <a href="https://coolmore.com/farms/america/stallions/uncle-mo" class="horse-link">Uncle Mo</a> that is as beautiful as he is on the end of a lead shank, we believe we will get a lot of 'yeses'.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Yaupon is an absolutely stunning physical with an unbelievable pedigree, and he might have been one of the fastest horses we have ever seen at a 2-year-old-in-training sales,&#8221; added Bill Heiligbrodt at the time of the announcement. &#8220;Corinne and I have been racing horses since the 1980s and have been lucky to be represented by a lot of nice horses. Yaupon is our best ever when you combine speed, pedigree and conformation.&#8221;</p>
<p>One of 75 black-type winners and 40 graded winners for his emerging sire of sires, Yaupon is out of a Grade I-placed mare who has also been responsible for MGSP turfer Sawyer's Hill (Spring At Last). Yaupon's 2-year-old half-sister Royal Flower (<a href="https://coolmore.com/farms/america/stallions/american-pharoah" class="horse-link">American Pharoah</a>) was purchased by Mike Rutherford for $1.2 million at Keeneland September last fall, while his yearling relation, a <a href="http://www.hillndalefarms.com/good-magic/" class="horse-link">Good Magic</a> colt already named Limits of Power, was knocked down to Alan Quartucci, agent, for $575,000 on the opening day of this year's September sale.</p>
<p>Yaupon heads to the breeding shed with a stellar record of 8-6-0-0 and earnings of $703,264.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Bill and Corinne Heiligbrodt's <strong>Yaupon </strong>(<a href="https://coolmore.com/farms/america/stallions/uncle-mo" class="horse-link">Uncle Mo</a>&#8211;Modification, by Vindication), who became his sire's ninth Grade I winner with a tenacious victory in the Forego S. at Saratoga Aug. 28, will enter stud at Spendthrift Farm for the 2022 breeding season. The 4-year-old has the GI Breeders' Cup Sprint at Del Mar as his long-term objective before retiring to the stallion barn.</p>
<p>Trained by Steve Asmussen, Yaupon was victorious in his first four career trips to the post, including Saratoga's GII Amsterdam S., clocking 1:08.50 for the six furlongs, and the GIII Chick Lang S. on the Preakness undercard in 2020 which established him as the favorite for last year's Sprint at Keeneland. The athletic dark bay bounced back from a trip to Dubai for the G1 Golden Shaheen in March with a 1 3/4-length success in Pimlico's Lite the Fuse S. July 4 prior to the Forego, his first try over seven furlongs.</p>
<p>At Spendthrift, Yaupon is slated to stand alongside the Heiligbrodts' champion sprinter Mitole (Eskendereya).</p>
<p>&#8220;We are thrilled to continue our partnership with Bill and Corinne [Heiligbrodt] on their newest Grade I winner, Yaupon,&#8221; said Spendthrift General Manager Ned Toffey. &#8220;Obviously, the last time they won the Forego at Saratoga it was with Mitole, so we are hopeful Yaupon can close out his racing career in similar fashion. Aside from being extremely fast, Yaupon is one of the best-looking sons of <a href="https://coolmore.com/farms/america/stallions/uncle-mo" class="horse-link">Uncle Mo</a> you will find anywhere. When breeders come out to the farm and see a fast Saratoga Grade I winner by <a href="https://coolmore.com/farms/america/stallions/uncle-mo" class="horse-link">Uncle Mo</a> that is as beautiful as he is on the end of a lead shank, we believe we will get a lot of 'yeses'.&#8221;</p>
<p>Added Heiligbrodt: &#8220;Yaupon is an absolutely stunning physical with an unbelievable pedigree, and he might have been one of the fastest horses we have ever seen at a 2-year-old-in-training sales,&#8221; said Bill Heiligbrodt. &#8220;Last year, after four straight wins and two graded stakes, we thought he had a very good chance to win the Breeders' Cup, and he ended up being the favorite in the race. But a very rough trip nullified any chance. After his most recent victory in the Forego, we look forward to returning to the Breeders' Cup at Del Mar. Corinne and I have been racing horses since the 1980s and have been lucky to be represented by a lot of nice horses. Yaupon is our best ever when you combine speed, pedigree and conformation.&#8221;</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y.&#8211;When he goes to the post Saturday for the GI Forego S., <strong>Lexitonian</strong> (<a href="https://www.winstarfarm.com/horses/speightstown-2018.html" class="horse-link">Speightstown</a>) will try to do something new: follow a win with a win.</p>
<p>Lexitonian picked up his fifth victory in 19 career starts July 31 in the GI Alfred G. Vanderbilt H. as the longest shot in the field of nine at 34-1 and paid $70. It was his second graded stakes win and pushed the Calumet Farm homebred's earnings to $687,682, but was it just a one-off at the historic Graveyard of Favorites?</p>
<p>Trainer Jack Sisterson figures that even with his Vanderbilt score, Lexitonian will be price once again in the seven-furlong $600,000 Forego.</p>
<p>&#8220;He's got to prove himself that he can produce another performance like he did a few weeks ago,&#8221; Sisterson said. &#8220;As a barn, as a whole, we think he can do that. And we were just happy that he was able to show the public that he was capable of winning a race of that caliber because he's had some near-misses before in some Grade Is with maybe not the luckiest trips in those races. It was nice to finally win a Grade I with him and show the public that he is capable of winning a race like that.&#8221;</p>
<p>Sisterson said that he wasn't surprised that Lexitonian&#8211;who was put into the race early by jockey Jose Lezcano&#8211;was able to win the six-furlong Vanderbilt against a gang of graded stakes-winning veterans.</p>
<p>&#8220;If you really diagnosis his form&#8211;I'm obviously going to be biased&#8211;he should be a multiple Grade I winner,&#8221; Sisterson said. &#8220;It's unfortunate that he just missed in the Bing Crosby last year. He had everything going against him. He scratched in the Vanderbilt last year. We shipped him across country within a few days to Del Mar and he ran a great second in the Bing Crosby, just got beat a nose. Then in the Churchill Downs [a GI on the May 1 Derby program], he's horse 12 of 12, he's wide the whole way, he presses fast fractions and gets beat a head there.&#8221;</p>
<p>Following the Churchill Downs, where Lexitonian was 46-1, Sisterson tried him in the GI Met Mile June 5. He had a troubled trip and was eased.</p>
<p>Lexitonian was sent back to Sisterston's base at Keeneland, where he worked four times before being shipped to Saratoga. He turned in a very sharp half-mile breeze over the main track, :47.01, fourth-fastest of 113 at the distance, the weekend before the Vanderbilt. Sisterson decided it was time to try some different tactics training his 5-year-old.</p>
<p>&#8220;He's a horse that is very workmanlike in the morning. He knows what his job is and he knows to show up in the afternoons,&#8221; Sisterson said. &#8220;We've been working him down on the inside just to get a little bit more pressure to try and get a little bit more out of his workouts. It was actually the luck of the draw that we drew the one-hole because we've been working down on the inside.&#8221;</p>

<p>Sisterson said that he broke from his normal policy and gave Lezcano some instructions before the race.</p>
<p>&#8220;I said to Jose, 'let's really change it up here and be aggressive and send him from the one-hole. Hopefully, somebody goes and engages with you. We really think that Lexitonian is a horse that when he feels pressure he will engage and respond,'&#8221; Sisterson said. &#8220;And he did, everything, that and more. When he was headed, he fought back. It couldn't have worked out any better.&#8221;</p>
<p>Lezcano will be back up for the Forego and Sisterson said they will stay with what was a winning formula.</p>
<p>&#8220;We'll definitely do the same tactics there on Saturday, be aggressive, jump out, go forward with the intentions of making the lead and see how the race turns out,&#8221; Sisterson said. &#8220;If anyone else wants to go with us they are more than welcome to. If no one wants to, we'll jump out and see how we go.&#8221;</p>
<p>Lexitonian won't surprise anyone this time and he and Lezcano are likely to have plenty of company up front. If form holds, he won't get much respect from bettors. He has never been the favorite in any of his races and the average of his odds in the five wins is 17-1.</p>
<p>&#8220;Yeah, I think he's always going to be a price,&#8221; Sisterson said. &#8220;People may say that was a fluke. He's obviously got to back up a performance like that, which he's never really done.&#8221;</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Win Win Win</strong> (Hat Trick {Jpn}) did just that in Saturday&#8217;s GI Forego S., coming from out of the clouds as yet another round of rain poured down over the Saratoga main track to secure his first top-level success. A step slow from the stalls, the Live Oak homebred was not even in the picture early, trailing the field by several lengths as <strong>Complexity </strong>(Maclean&#8217;s Music) and <strong>True Timber</strong> (Mineshaft) duked it out through an opening quarter in :22.28 and a half in :44.63. Rushing up into the frame approaching the bend, the dark bay was 10-wide on the turn for home and unleashed a furious late rally in the lane, storming past Complexity in the final strides for a jaw-dropping upset score.</p>
<p>&#8220;I honestly don&#8217;t know what to say,&#8221; said winning conditioner Michael Trombetta. &#8220;He dropped so far back and his chicklet and number actually went off the screen and I couldn&#8217;t even see across the track. Honestly, I assumed something bad might have happened where he took a bad step or something. I thought he was absolutely out of the race and might not have had a chance to even finish. But then turning for home, he came back on the screen. It&#8217;s just unbelievable. He&#8217;s truly a good horse and deserves this. I thought we were back at the [Kentucky] Derby, that&#8217;s how hard it rained. I think he can handle just about any surface.&#8221;</p>
<p>He continued, &#8220;It&#8217;s a distance he likes, but he doesn&#8217;t have the best gate speed. The way this track has been playing, it&#8217;s very hard to close. Well, what he did, I haven&#8217;t seen the whole meet.&#8221;</p>
<p>Jockey Javier Castellano was also in awe, saying, &#8220;What an amazing horse. I&#8217;m truly honored to ride the horse and very blessed with the way everything went. He was very far back and made a huge run to win the race. Not too many horses can do that. He did it and in a nice way.&#8221;</p>
<p>The Hall of Fame pilot added, &#8220;I got a little concerned when I got to the eighth pole. I didn&#8217;t have any contact with the field. I was way too far back. I had to start riding because I felt like I wasn&#8217;t going to get there, but the horse put in a lot of effort from the quarter-pole to the wire. He made me look good.&#8221;</p>
<p>Winner of the Pasco S. last term prior to a third in the GII Tampa Bay Derby, Win Win Win was second to now MGISW Vekoma (Candy Ride {Arg}) in Keeneland&#8217;s GII Toyota Blue Grass S. in April. Promoted to ninth in the GI Kentucky Derby, he was seventh in the GI Preakness S. and closed out his sophomore season with a victory in turf in Belmont&#8217;s Manila S. last July. Returning 11 months later in the grassy First Defence S. at Belmont June 7, the FL-bred was 10th that day and improved dramatically when second behind the Complexity in a one-mile optional claimer on the main track downstate July 2.</p>
<p><strong>Pedigree Notes:</strong></p>
<p>Win Win Win is the seventh Grade I winner for Hat Trick and the second to achieve the feat in North American, following 2012 GI Jamaica H. victor King David. He is also the 17th graded scorer for that stallion and one of his 34 stakes winners. Win Win Win is the third and final foal out of Miss Smarty Pants, who is a half-sister to GSW Unbridled Humor (Distorted Humor).</p>
