‘Modern’ Love In the Mile

If you decided to swallow the skinny-ish 6-5 about Godolphin's Modern Games (Ire) (Dubawi {Ire}) in Saturday's GI Breeders' Cup Mile, Sponsored by the Permanently Disabled Jockeys' Fund (PDJF) at Keeneland Saturday, hey–you actually got paid this time around.

The striking chestnut, who exuded confidence and class throughout the week–as reported by TDN's Steve Sherack and Christie DeBernardis on site–steamed down the center of the Keeneland turf course once produced in upper stretch by William Buick and raced away for a second consecutive victory at the Breeders' Cup.

Modern Games looked a bit toey in the stalls and indeed, hopped at the break, but was able to establish a position in midpack as Smooth Like Strait (Midnight Lute) took pace pressure in the form of European raider Pogo (Ire) (Zebedee {GB}), who held his spot at the rail, forcing Smooth Like Strait to make the running from the two path. The speed was strong enough–:23 flat for the opening quarter and :46.81 past midway–and that would have been much to the liking of Buick, who began to feel for Modern Games at the five-sixteenths pole, with 2020 Mile hero Order of Australia (GB) (Australia {GB}) lapped to his outside. The duo crept into a striking position as they neared the stretch, was swung out wide when push came to shove and showed a more decisive finishing kick than the Ballydoyle runner, hitting another gear entering the final furlong before motoring home to score cozily. 'TDN Rising Star' Shirl's Speight (Speightstown) ran on gamely and outfinished Kinross (GB) (Kingman {GB}), who worked out a nice trip from a double-digit draw beneath Frankie Dettori, to be third.

Modern Games was famously erroneously scratched after breaking through the inside stall before last year's GI Juvenile Turf, then was unscratched, but ultimately ran for purse money only. He duly won the race with a minimum of fuss. Modern Games, 6-5 on the tote as the gates sprung Saturday, returned $4.76–or nearly 7-5–under the new penny breakage rules in the Commonwealth of Kentucky.

Domestic Spending (GB) (Kingman {GB}) was pulled up and out of the race at the half-mile pole by Flavien Prat. A statement from Breeders' Cup said the 5-year-old was off in his left hind, was attended to by veterinarians and transported back to the barn by equine ambulance. There was no indication of lower-limb fracture, the statement said, and he was being stabilized for transfer to Rood & Riddle for further evaluation. Later in the afternoon trainer Chad Brown tweeted that Domestic Spending had suffered 'a serious pelvic fracture' and that he would provide updates when available.

“He has so many attributes to himself–his size, he's neat, he's nimble,” said trainer Charlie Appleby, celebrating an eighth Breeders' Cup success and fifth in the last two years. “That's why I think he's always thrived on these tracks here. Wherever he is, he's small enough to get through the gaps and he's neat enough to get around those turns.”

With Coroebus (Ire) (Dubawi {Ire}) and Native Trail (GB) (Oasis Dream {GB}) the team for the 'Boys in Blue' for the G1 English 2000 Guineas–they ultimately ran 1-2–Modern Games made the French equivalent a few weeks later his seasonal debut and validated 2-1 favoritism. Third in the G1 Prix du Jockey Club over a stamina-stretching 2100 meters, he was a slightly disappointing fifth in the G1 Prix Jean Prat going seven furlongs ahead of a brave second to Baaeed (GB) (Sea The Stars {Ire}) in the G1 Sussex S. at Goodwood July 27. A slashing, 5 1/4-length winner over Ivar (Brz) (Agnes Gold {Jpn}) in the GI Ricoh Woodbine Mile Sept. 17, the chestnut was back at home for his latest in the G1 Queen Elizabeth S. over rain-affected Ascot turf on QIPCO British Champions S. Oct. 15.

“He finished second [to Bayside Boy {Ire}, by New Bay {GB}] and from start to finish hated the ground, [that's ]the horse he is. A true warrior,” said Appleby.

Modern Games will be programmed for races like the G1 Lockinge S. and G1 Queen Anne S. early next season, with a return to California for a defense of his title very much on the cards, Appleby said.

Pedigree Notes:

The all-conquering Dubawi was earning a fifth Breeders' Cup race winner (Rebel's Romance would go on to make it a half-dozen in the Turf), including champion Yibir (GB) and Mile winner Space Blues (Ire) in addition to Modern Games last year.

As if his female family needed further burnishing, Modern Games's year-younger half-sister Mawj (Ire) (Exceed and Excel {Aus}) was second in the G3 Albany S. at Royal Ascot this past June before going one better in the G2 Duchess of Cambridge S. during Newmarket's July meeting. Mawj was most recently third to Lezoo (GB) (Zoustar {Aus})–whom she beat in the Duke of Cambridge–and Friday's GI Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf romper Meditate (Ire) (No Nay Never) in the G1 Cheveley Park S. at headquarters Sept. 24.

The last reported foal out of Modern Ideals is a yearling filly by Mastercraftsman (Ire). Modern Games's female family also includes the outstanding Bosra Sham (Woodman) and her full-brother Hector Protector.

Elite Power Upsets Jackie’s Warrior In Sprint

LEXINGTON, KY – Now that's an 'Elite' sprinter.

Juddmonte's streaking Elite Power (Curlin) came storming down the center of the course with massive strides to blow past longshot C Z Rocket (City Zip) and heavily favored champion Jackie's Warrior (Maclean's Music) to capture Saturday's GI Breeders' Cup Sprint at Keeneland. The 5-1 winner punched his ticket to the bluegrass with a visually impressive score in Belmont's seven-furlong GII Vosburgh S.

Hall of Famer Bill Mott was also in the winner's circle with another son of Curlin two races earlier on the card with Cody's Wish in the GI Breeders' Cup Dirt Mile.

“The cut back today was always a little concerning when you are running against a horse as good as Jackie's Warrior but hey, he come down in the middle of the racetrack and ran them all down,” Mott said after saddling his 12th winner at the Championships.

Seventh as 41-1 longshot Super Ocho (Chi) (Dubai Sky) led with Jackie's Warrior sitting the trip in second through an opening quarter in :22.12, Elite Power appeared to have his work cut out for him as they approached the quarter pole.

Super Ocho cornered very wide and forced Jackie's Warrior into the six path, but the 3-5 favorite still had dead aim. Elite Power was just getting warmed up though. Irad Ortiz, Jr. tipped the blaze-faced chestnut out into the clear and he came over the top like an absolute freight train down the lane to win going away by 1 1/4 lengths.

Off the board in a pair of attempts at three, Elite Power has been perfect in five attempts since kicking off the 2022 season with a third-place finish behind the promising 'Rising Star' Strobe (Into Mischief) at Churchill on Derby Day. A nine-length maiden winner beneath the Twin Spires June 5, he added two more victories in come-from-behind fashion, capturing a first-level allowance going a mile in Louisville June 30 and an optional claimer going six furlongs at Saratoga Sept. 3. The deep closer showed a new dimension last time in the five-horse field Vosburgh, sitting right on the pace in a race lacking any true early speed.

“I had the perfect trip,” Ortiz, Jr. said of his third Breeders' Cup win of the weekend and 17th overall at the Championships. “He broke real sharp and I let him settle. I let the speed go. I was able to cut the corner around the turn. When I tipped him out, he was there for me. He kept going forward. He gave me a really good kick from the quarter-pole to the wire. He's a nice horse. I rode him with a lot of confidence.”

Just like Juddmonte's brilliant and gone-to-soon Classic winner Arrogate (Unbridled's Song), Elite Power was also acquired at Keeneland's auction house as a yearling for $900,000. Juddmonte has now won eight Breeders' Cup races.

“Going back to when Prince Khalid was with us, he wanted to start buying some horses at the sales,” Juddmonte's Garrett O'Rourke said. “Obviously, we got off to a good start with Arrogate and followed up with horses like this guy, beautiful horse from the very beginning.

He continued, “The satisfaction of racing at the top end and ultimately winning is what we're all–there's a huge crowd here today and every participant is having the same dream, and we're lucky enough to be here.”

The tough-as-nails 8-year-old gelding C Z Rocket was also second in 2020 Sprint over this same course.

“I'm pretty happy,” trainer Peter Miller said. “Other than winning, I couldn't be happier for this guy, at 8 years old, to run like this. It took a really big effort from the winner to beat us, I couldn't be more proud of the team, and of the horse, and Flavien [Prat] gave him a great ride.”

Five-time GISW Jackie's Warrior, also beaten as the favorite in the 2020 GI Breeders' Cup Juvenile and last year's Sprint, is slated to join the stallion barn at Spendthrift Farm in 2023.

“It's just amazing that a horse as great as he is has never won a Breeders' Cup race,” Hall of Fame trainer Steve Asmussen said. “He's a very special horse–physically, mentally and his ability. It's a disappointment. I don't like the outcome, but hail to the victor.”

Pedigree Notes:

Elite Power gave Curlin his second of three Breeders' Cup winners on the card. He later was represented by heart-stopping Distaff heroine Malathaat upping his total to five. The 2007 GI Breeders' Cup Classic winner is also the sire of Classic winner Vino Rosso and Juvenile hero Good Magic. His Stellar Wind was a painful second in the 2015 Distaff at Keeneland. Elite Power is Curlin's 20th Grade I winner.

Broodmare sire Vindication concluded his four-for-four career with a win in the 2002 GI Breeders' Cup Juvenile at Arlington. Elite Power is bred on the same Curlin/Vindication cross as GI Preakness S. winner Exaggerator. Elite Power's dam Broadway's Alibi, a MGSW & GI Kentucky Oaks runner-up and Robsham homebred, brought $2.15 million from Alpha Delta Stables while in foal to Smart Strike at the 2013 KEENOV sale. Broadway's Alibi is also represented by a Curlin colt of 2021. She was bred to City of Light for 2023.

Elite Power's fourth dam is champion 2-year-old filly and GI Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies heroine Eliza (Mt. Livermore). This is also the family of GISW and young sire Dialed In (Mineshaft).

Tuesday Gives Connections Third BC Win in F/M Turf

LEXINGTON, KY — There are few partnerships that have been as productive or have been firing more live ammunition during the Breeders' Cup thus far than the Coolmore group, Aidan O'Brien and jockey Ryan Moore. Following a pair of championship victories Friday, the triumvirate came right back on Breeders' Cup Saturday to annex the GI Maker's Mark Filly & Mare Turf with the impeccably bred Tuesday (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}), who closed with a flourish to best dual Grade I winner In Italian (Dubawi {Ire}).

The victory is the first in the race for O'Brien, who now has 16 World Championship victories, and the second for Moore, who won the 2013 running aboard Dank (GB). With Saturday's victory, Moore has 12 Breeders' Cup wins.

It was clear that Coolmore meant business in this year's renewal of the 1 3/16th race, also offering up G1 Prix Saint Alary scorer Above The Curve (American Pharoah), trained by O'Brien's son Joseph, and the diminutive Toy (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}), runner-up in this season's G1 Juddmonte Irish Oaks for the elder O'Brien. The most fancied of the trio at 4-1, Tuesday was being reunited with Moore, who had been aboard for her G1 Cazoo Oaks victory in June, but was absent for her two latest off-the-board finishes in Group 1 company in France earlier this fall. Taking much of the play at the windows at 5-2, however, was Nashwa (GB) (Frankel {GB}), victorious in both the G1 Prix de Diane at Chantilly and Goodwood's G1 Nassau S. and narrowly beaten in second most recently in the Oct. 2 G1 Prix de l'Opera.

Tuesday was shuffled back into seventh as In Italian assumed her customary place at the head of affairs through a sharp opening quarter in :22.82 before slowing things down a hair to a more sensible :46.38 half. With In Italian still moving comfortably up front, Tuesday began to pick up the tempo exiting that backstretch. With a pair of longshots briefly looming as the pacesetter turned for home, Tuesday cut into the leader's diminishing advantage, collared her in the final sixteenth and was a length clear at the wire. 'TDN Rising Star' Lady Speightspeare (Speightstown), who challenged In Italian at the head of the stretch, finished a half-length back of In Italian in third and two lengths in front of the favored Nashwa.

“The race was very straight forward,” said Moore. “Pace was strong and even. She was in a good rhythm. I was always confident and finished up very well. Aidan [O'Brien] had her in an unbelievable place today. The horse has been magnificent and has been most of year. She has bounced back.”

Following her Oaks victory, the daughter of dual Group 1 winning Lillie Langtry (Ire) (Danehill Dancer {Ire}) was fourth in the G1 Irish Derby at the Curragh before getting a brief freshening. A length back of subsequent Arc heroine Alpinista (GB) (Frankel {GB}) in G1 Yorkshire Oaks Aug. 18, Tuesday ran fourth in the G1 Prix Vermeille before finishing sixth in the Prix de l'Opera.

“It's incredible for everyone that's involved in the whole place,” said O'Brien. “She's a filly that won the [Epsom] Oaks when she was barely three and we were conscious of that, so we let her dally through the rest of the year. We had our eye on this race for her. She's an amazing filly from an unbelievable pedigree as well. Totally 100% homebred which makes this incredible and a privilege for us. Ryan [Moore] gave her a stunning ride.”

As for the beaten favorite, trainer John Gosden explained, “Obviously, we were a little slow way from the gate, and lost the benefit of our post position. We got a little bit too far back on what is a fast track with a tailwind. Then pinned down on the inside, couldn't get out. Finally got out and the race was over but she was running on very well there. It would be sharp enough for her, this distance. She's a grand filly and we'll be looking at next year with her.”

Pedigree Note:
Tuesday, a Coolmore homebred, offers a pedigree is as good as anything that can be found in racing. By pre-eminent international sire Galileo, the sophomore filly is a daughter of English Highweight Lillie Langtry, winner of the 2010 G1 Coronation S. and GI Matron S. Also campaigned by Coolmore, Lillie Langtry has proven prolific as a broodmare, having produced highweight middle distance mare and dual Group 1 winner Minding (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}), G1 Irish 1000 Guineas victress Empress Josephine (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) and Group 3 scorer Kissed By Angels (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}). Her last reported foal is a juvenile full sister to Tuesday named Delightful (Ire).

Cody Makes Many Wishes Come True in Dirt Mile

LEXINGTON, KY–Godolphin homebred Cody's Wish (Curlin) made quite a few wishes come true beneath cloudy skies Saturday when rallying from well back and edging MGISW Cyberknife (Gun Runner) to take the GI Breeders' Cup Dirt Mile at Keeneland.

The colt was named for 16-year-old Cody Dorman, who met the bay when he was just a foal at Gainsborough as part of Keeneland's Make-a-Wish day. Cody's Wish put his head in the young boy's lap, making an instant connection, and his story has touched many in the racing world. Dorman and his family were on hand all week ready to root his namesake on. Click here to read about both Codys.

“That was very special,” said trainer Bill Mott. “There's a big story behind it. Goes to show that the Make A Wish Foundation can make it very special for someone. The performance was awesome. He made a huge run turning for home.”

Favored at 2-1 off a win in the GI Forego S., Cody's Wish was unhurried early, caboosing the field as Pipeline (Speightstown) blitzed through a :22.20 first quarter with Gunite (Gun Runner) in tow and Cyberknife keeping close watch from a two-wide fourth. Cyberknife moved first as the half went in :45.71, but Cody's Wish had been popped the question as well by Junior Alvarado and began to make rapid progress up the outside. Gunite inherited the lead entering the bend with Cyberknife breathing down his neck and Cody's Wish charging up to confront them. They entered the lane three abreast and Gunite quickly waved the white flag, leaving the top two to battle it out. And they did indeed. The colts went stride-for-stride down the lane with Cody's Wish edging his younger foe late for a storybook ending to the Dirt Mile.

Longshot Slow Down Andy (Nyquist) rounded out the trifecta with Gunite holding fourth. Slow Down Andy's rider Mario Gutierrez claimed foul against Cyberknife for interference in the stretch, but the stewards left the result as is after an inquiry.

“I probably didn't have the trip that I was planning,” said an exuberant Junior Alvarado, who is a first-time Breeders' Cup winner. “He didn't break great, so I just took my time with him. I didn't want to rush him. He's a horse that can get a little rank. I took it little by little. By the 3/8th pole I was getting excited, but I knew there was a lot of race left to run. He finished up really well for me. When we turned for home, I knew I had the horse.”

A three-time winner during his 2021 campaign, Cody's Wish kicked off 2022 with a neck second in Tampa's GIII Challenger S. Mar. 12 and romped by five lengths next out in the one-mile GIII Westchester S. in the slop at Belmont May 7. Scoring by a neck next out over the re-opposing Three Technique (Mr Speaker) in Churchill's Hanshin S. July 4, the homebred came running late to take down champion Jackie's Warrior (Maclean's Music) in Saratoga's Forego Aug. 27, earning a gaudy 112 Beyer Speed Figure.

Pedigree Notes:

Cody's Wish became the third Breeders' Cup winner for the mighty Curlin, following GI Breeders' Cup Classic hero Vino Rosso and GI Breeders' Cup Juvenile scorer Good Magic and later added two more winners. While Tapit has sired several Breeders' Cup winners, this is his first as a broodmare sire. Godolphin went to $750,000 to acquire his dam Dance Card (Tapit) and the 2011 FTFFEB sale. She captured the GI Gazelle S. and was third in her trip to the Breeders' Cup in 2013 for the GI BC F/M Sprint S. Prior to Cody's Wish, she produced MGSP Endorsed (Medaglia d'Oro) and SP Bocephus (Medaglia d'Oro). Her recent produce includes a yearling colt by Into Mischief and a weanling filly by Street Sense. She was bred to Gun Runner this year.
