Trappe Shot Colt Shoots and Scores in WAYI Speakeasy

Chicago-based invader One Timer took to the turf Friday to skate into the GII Breeders' Cup Turf Sprint at Del Mar with a guaranteed spot in the starting line-up. A 12 1/2-length debut romper at Arlington back in June over recent GIII Iroquois S. runner-up Tough to Tame (Speightster) and another future stakes performer, the bay paired up 80 Beyer Speed Figures when annexing Woodbine's Victoria S. July 31. He was scratched as a would-be heavy favorite from the Aug. 28 Arlington-Washington Futurity won by stablemate Nobals (Noble Mission {GB}), having shown no published works since before the Victoria, but breezed three times in September over the Arlington all-weather and soon proved he was ready to roll.

One Timer was hustled along between horses by ET Baird to knock heads with favored Forbidden Kingdom. He began to get away from that rival after a :21.01 opening quarter, and looked to be in complete control approaching the straight as Forbidden Kingdom struggled to corner. Time to Party got going and made a race of it late, but One Timer had already built up an insurmountable advantage and glided under the line a comfy winner.

“First of all I want to say the reason that he's name that is because [trainer] Larry [Rivelli]'s son is an excellent hockey player,” said Baird. “He's a hot prospect right now and that's where his name comes from.”

Rivelli's son Dominick plays right wing for the Green Bay Gamblers, a junior team in the competitive USHL, and has committed to Miami of Ohio.

“He broke well, I had to ask him out of there, but he's pretty professional outside of the post parade,” Baird said of One Timer. “He just kept running true. I think he took to the [turf] great. We worked him one time in Chicago [back in July] over the grass and I happened to work another horse, an older horse on the same morning, and the older horse ended up winning a stake after that work, against older horses, but he didn't work that well over it, and this horse worked excellent over it. It pretty much hasn't changed–he just likes to go. I mean, he's competitive, he loves to run.”

The winner is a grandson of GSW grasser La Gran Bailadora (Afleet Alex), who produced 2019 GI Belmont S. winner Sir Winston (Awesome Again). He has a yearling half-brother by Tapwrit and a foal half-sister by Arrogate. Spanish Star, who sold for $275,000 to Crestwood Farm at last year's Keeneland November sale, visited Twirling Candy for 2022.

Rivelli-Trained One Timer Earns Way Into Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Turf Sprint

Chicago invader One Timer established control going into the far turn and proved best in Friday's $100,000 Speakeasy Stakes at Santa Anita in Arcadia, Calif. The Speakeasy is a Breeders' Cup “Win & You're In” Challenge Race qualifier that provides the winner a fees-paid berth into the Grade 2 Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf Sprint Nov. 5 at Del Mar.

Unbeaten in two previous starts over synthetic surfaces, and now unbeaten in three starts, One Timer, a 2-year-old Kentucky-bred gelding by Trappe Shot, was handled by Chicago-based veteran E.T. Baird, who guided him to a five-furlong turf win in 55.45. Trained by Larry Rivelli, One Timer was head and head to the three-furlong pole with race favorite Forbidden Kingdom. With a 1 ½-length advantage turning for home, One Timer prevailed by three quarters of a length over a fast finishing Time to Party and remained well in front on the gallop out around the Club House turn.

One Timer was bred in Kentucky by St Simon Place LLC and sold for $21,000 at the Fasig-Tipton Kentucky October Yearling Sale.

“He broke well, I had to ask him out of there, but he's pretty professional outside of the post parade,” said Baird. “He just kept running true. I think he took to the (turf) great. We worked him one time in Chicago (at Arlington Park) over the grass and I happened to work another horse, an older horse on same morning and the older horse ended up winning (a) stake after that work…I mean, he's competitive, he loves to run.”

The second choice at 9-5 in a field of six juveniles, One Timer paid $5.80, $4.00 and $2.40.

Owned by Patricia's Hope, LLC and Richard Ravin, One Timer, who is out of the Blame mare Spanish Star, picked up $60,000 for the win, increasing his earnings to $138,153.

Ridden by Flavien Prat, Time to Party rallied well to be second, finishing 2 ½ lengths in front of Forbidden Kingdom. Off at 6-1, he paid $5.80 and $3.00.

The actual favorite at 9-5 with Juan Hernandez up, Forbidden King tired to finish third and returned $2.40 to show while 1 ½ lengths clear of Miss Alacrity.

Fractions on the race were 21.01 and 43.48.

James Brady Passes Away at 85

James C. Brady, a longtime Thoroughbred owner and breeder and officer of The Jockey Club, passed away at his home in Bedminster, N.J., Thursday, Oct. 22. He was 85.

On behalf of his brother, Nicholas Brady, a former chairman of The Jockey Club, U.S. Senator, and Treasury Secretary, and sisters Lisa Richards and Eliot Stewart, Brady managed Mill House Racing Stable, which raced prominent runners America Alive (American Chance), Brilliant (War Chant), Trappe Shot (Tapit), and Rattlesnake Bridge (Tapit).

Born in New York, N.Y., to parents James C. and Eliot (nee Chace) Brady, he attended St. Paul’s School in Concord, N.H., and Yale University in New Haven, Conn., where he played varsity ice hockey. Brady served as general partner of Mill House Associates, successor to Brady Security & Realty Corporation and he began work at Bankers Trust Company in 1957, resigning to take a position in New Jersey Governor William T. Cahill’s Cabinet as commissioner of banking, where he helped plan the development of the Meadowlands Sports Complex, including Giants Stadium and the Meadowlands Racetrack.

In 1983, Brady was appointed secretary-treasurer of The Jockey Club, joining newly elected chairman Ogden Mills Phipps and vice chairman William S. Farish. The trio led a three-decade period of growth of The Jockey Club, establishing new commercial business, including Equibase Company and several technology-based service and data businesses. Proceeds from the commercial subsidiaries fueled increasing investments in the marketing of Thoroughbred racing and research and advocacy for improved safety and integrity of the sport. Brady’s nephew, Ian Highet, succeeded him as secretary-treasurer of The Jockey Club in 2010, and Brady remained on the board of stewards until 2013.

The Brady family has been involved in Thoroughbred racing for more than 100 years, beginning with Brady’s grandfather, financier James Cox Brady, who developed the 5,000-acre Hamilton Farms in New Jersey and bred and raced the champion War Feathers. Brady’s father, also James Cox Brady, was a steward of The Jockey Club and bred and raced 16 stakes winners, including Classic winners in England and Ireland, in addition to a champion in America. He was chairman of the New York Racing Association for eight years, during which Belmont Park was built, and also a founding director of the Monmouth Park Jockey Club.

He is survived by his wife of 63 years, Joan Babcock Brady; his siblings; son James C. Brady III and his wife, Anne Lusk Brady; daughter Joan “Nonie” Brady and her husband, Wilhelm Merck; and daughter Kerry Chace Brady and her partner, Brock Dolman. He had two granddaughters, Audrey Slade Brady and Millicent McKay Brady.

A private family funeral was held [Saturday, Oct. 24] at St. Brigid’s Church in Peapack, N.J. A memorial service celebrating his life is to be held in the spring of 2021. In lieu of flowers, donations in Brady’s memory may be made to LifeCamp, a summer camp for inner city youth, long supported by the Brady family.
