Next Shares goes for Kentucky triple crown in Mile
|

Next Shares is going for a personal Triple Crown in Kentucky, having won
Kentucky Downs’ $250,000 Old Friends Stakes and Keeneland’s $1 million, Grade 1 Shadwell Turf Mile and now seeking the $2 million Breeders’ Cup Mile on turf on Nov. 3 at Churchill Downs.
Next Shares, who is based in California most of the year but extended his Kentucky stay with his victories, captured the Shadwell at 23-1 odds while winning by 3 1/4 lengths over 81-1 shot Great Wide Open, a fellow #KyDownsGrad who had been second in the $750,000 Tourist Mile.
Though he had a close second and third in previous Grade 1 races, Next Shares hadn’t won a stakes of any type until he took Kentucky Downs’ $250,000 Old Friends Stakes, which was for horses who hadn’t won a stakes race in 2018. That earned him a shot at the Shadwell, where his victory gives him an entry fees-paid spot in Saturday's $2 million Breeders’ Cup Mile on turf.
"It's quite a journey we've had with him," said trainer Richard Baltas, who got Next Shares after his owners purchased him for $190,000 at Keeneland’s 2017 November sale. "He's really stepped up to the plate, and we expect another good race from him."
Next Shares beat three of his Breeders' Cup rivals in the Shadwell in leading American miler Oscar Performance, who could be at a disadvantage if the turf retains a lot of give from the mid-week rain; Arlington Million runner-up Almanaar and the 3-year-old Analyze It. But eight of the horses are from Europe, headed by tepid 5-1 favorite Polydream.
Asked what he knows about the Europeans, Baltas said, "I know they're very good horses. The competition over there is very strong. The Grade 1 horses over there are top-line horses. We have our work cut out for us."
The recent rain shouldn't hurt Next Shares. In fact, though he was Grade 1-placed in California, his surge in Kentucky has coincided with racing over softer courses.
"Since he's come over to Kentucky, we've had rain both times before the races, and he won both," Baltas said. "I don't think the rain will hurt him."
"He was a very good horse; he was just not getting there in California. He ran second in a Grade 1 in California, but he seems to be thriving here. Maybe part of it is the fact that he's happy here and he likes a little cut in the ground. Maybe a combination of both things."
While he knows his horses are doing well, Baltas said, "Let's face it: The Breeders' Cup is like a Grade 1 times three. You've got the best horses in the world. I feel very confident in my horse. I'm not a handicapper or anything. But they say he's the horse to watch for. I hope they're right."
The Shadwell victory helped ease the sting earlier that day for Baltas and jockey Tyler Gaffalione for
Grade 3 Kentucky Downs Ladies Turf winner Insta Erma falling literally to her knees out of the gate in the Grade 1 First Lady Saturday at Keeneland. Gaffalione did an amazing job to stay on the mare, who got back up, regrouped and looked like she might hit the board but weakened to sixth while losing by only a total of 3 1/4 lengths.
Insta Erma is the first also-eligible for the Breeders' Cup Turf Sprint, needing a scratch in order to run.
"She's a little trier," Baltas said. "She came out of that race pretty good considering how bad she jumped out of the gate and fell to her knees."

Arklow: We know he's at least fit enough for Turf!
|

Trainer Brad Cox doesn't know if Donegal Racing's Arklow is good enough to win the $4 million Breeders' Cp Turf. But he knows he's fit enough.
"It's not ideal to run a horse back that quick," Cox said. "But it's a mile and a half, and we hadn't run since Kentucky Downs. I just thought it was a good option to ship him over to Keeneland and give him a good race. We wanted to win the race and were disappointed we didn't. But he still ran a good race, came out of it great shape. It's a quick turnaround, but it's the end of the year and he's going to get a break after this race. We figured it was a good opportunity. We think it gave him the best chance to get a placing in the Turf."
Asked if it ever is ideal to take on two-time Arc de Triomphe winner Enable, the even-money favorite who is 9 for 10 in her career, Cox responded promptly with a laugh, "No. It's not. So I want to make sure I'm really, really fit. I don't know if we have the fastest horse in the race, but we have the fittest. That was kind of the thought and idea behind it. But he's doing well. It's a big ask for him running against a mare like that. It's a tough race top to bottom, probably one of the deepest there is on the card. But he's doing great and deserves the opportunity. He's nearly a millionaire, and he's a solid horse.
"He likes this turf course. He performed really well on it in the American Turf as a 3-year-old," he added of Arklow's victory in that Grade 2 stakes. "And Derby Day, it was really nasty before the Kentucky Derby and he ran a really good race that day in being fourth" in the Grade 1 Old Forester Turf Classic. "This is a tall task. If he could hit the board, it would be a feather in his cap for sure."
Arlow also won Ellis Park's Kentucky Downs Preview Calumet Farm Turf Cup.
"It was a big race," Cox said. "The turf was super firm and speed was good. So Shaun Bridgmohan, who rode him that day, kind of put him up in the race and he responded well. In the Kentucky Downs race, it was the complete opposite. He broke a touch slow and Florent (Geroux) had trouble kind of getting him involved early. The races were polar opposite and he was victorious in both. Then the Keeneland race, it was a solid race. A little bit of a wide trip, slow, soft fractions, and the horse slipped up inside to get us. But he's in great form and hopefully it continues Saturday."

Juvenile Turf: Another thriller for Henley's Joy?
|
Henley’s Joy has shown a flair for the dramatic in his young career: rallying from well-back to win his debut July 21 at Ellis Park, taking the Kentucky Downs Juvenile by a head over Tracksmith after a protracted stretch duel and then finishing second by a nose in a three-horse photo in Keeneland’s Grade 3 Bourbon when he was nailed on the wire by Current.
“That was a tough, tough loss,” said Jeff Bloom, head of the Bloom Racing partnership that owns the Mike Maker-trained Henley’s Joy, a son of 2004 Breeders’ Cup Turf runner-up Kitten’s Joy. “He’s such a fun horse. Coming into that race he was undefeated. It was only his third race. But he’s such a gutsy horse. He loves his job. He’s fought through some pretty significant adversity in his short career.
“Tough beat to lose by a whisker. But I’m not even sure he saw that winner coming up on the outside of him. So we’re excited about his chances in the Juvenile Turf.”
That’s Friday’s $1 million Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Turf at a mile. Henley’s Joy is 8-1 in the field of 14 2-year-olds, with Tracksmith needing a scratch by 8 a.m. ET Friday to get into field. The race is so wide open that the co-favorites at 5-1 are Current and Belmont’s Pilgrim winner Forty Under.
“Every one of his three races have been a thriller, the one at Kentucky Downs in particular,” Bloom said. “I love Kentucky Downs. We love going there each year. When he broke his maiden impressively at Ellis Park in his first start, we came into the race at Kentucky Downs pretty confident. But you never know. And in that race, too, he had a lot of things going against him. He had to fight and gut it out. At some point you thought that with his inexperience, maybe he’s not going to fight through it, and he did.”
Bloom called the photo finish at Keeneland the longest he’d seen without it turning out to be a dead heat.
“What was it like waiting that out? Not very fun,” he said. “It was a long photo, and unfortunately we ended up on the wrong end of it. But it was a good race, no question about it.”
Maker in his quiet way seems to love how Henley's Joy is coming into Friday's race.
"He continues to hold form," he said. "No complaints other than a tough beat. I don't think he'll have an issue with the ground if it's soft."

G2 Nearctic win puts Hembree in BC Turf Sprint
|
Hembree, winner of a $145,000 second-level Kentucky Downs allowance race in his prior start, surged down the center of the track under jockey Irad Ortiz Jr., to get up in time for a neck victory over pacesetting Yorkton in Woodbine Racetrack's Grade 2, $268,700 Nearctic Stakes on Oct. 13. Hembree is the latest in a long string of graded-stakes winners claimed by Mike Maker, Kentucky Downs' all-time winningest trainer who haltered the horse for $50,000 at Aqueduct in April for Three Diamonds Farm.
Maker said he'd been wanting to run Hembree at a shorter distance, and the six-furlong Nearctic was his chance. "I don't think he can go much farther than a mile," he said. "But a great effort last time. Hopefully a speed duel will develop and the rail will open up."
Hemp Hemp Hurray, also trained by Maker and owned by Kentucky Downs' career-winningest owner Ken and Sarah Ramsey, finished a nose back in third in the field of 11 running six furlongs on turf. The $20 winner was the sixth choice in wagering.
“I really like the horse,” Nolan Ramsey, Maker's assistant overseeing the Woodbine operation and grandson of the owner, told Woodbine's publicity department. “Hemp Hemp Hurray may be a personal favorite, but this horse is all class, does everything right, and just makes my job very easy, so no surprise today.
“He handles everything and is all class, so no surprises. Probably at the quarter pole Hemp Hemp Hurray really looked like the horse to beat to me, but Irad gave Hembree a great trip, had him on the outside and closed strong, so it was an exciting finish and I’m happy with the result.”
The Ramseys were Hembree's original racehorse owners, with Maker training the 4-year-old horse when he was claimed for $50,000 during Saratoga's 2017 meet.
"I always liked the horse," Maker said. "We lost him at Saratoga when I had him for Mr. Ramsey. Kirk Wycoff called me up one day and said, 'Would you like to have Hembree back?' and I said absolutely."
Maker and Wycoff's Three Diamonds Farm have had success before taking via a claim a Ramsey homebred that Maker originally trained and lost through the claim box. The Ramseys lost Bigger Picture in a $25,000 claiming race, with Three Diamonds claiming the horse 14 months later for $32,000 and returning him to Maker. Bigger Picture has since won four graded stakes, including a Grade 1, and earned $1.3 million. He was second by a half-length in this year's $750,000 Calumet Farm Kentucky Turf Cup won by Breeders' Cup Turf contender Arklow.

Darrin Miller: Ruby Notion fits in Turf Sprint
|
|

Silverton Hill’s Ruby Notion was scratched from a stakes at Keeneland in order to train up to the $1 million Breeders’ Cup Turf Sprint off her victory in the
Grade 3 Kentucky Downs Ladies Sprint
. That day she beat multiple stakes-winner Lull and the speedy Brielle’s Appeal in a three-horse photo. Florent Geroux, Kentucky Downs’ 2017 riding champion, has the mount.
Ruby Notion won over turf rated good at Kentucky Downs, the $200,000 Caress Stakes at Saratoga over soft going, and she’s also won over firm turf.
“We entered her at Keeneland, but we made a decision to take a shot — we didn’t know if we’d get in or not — here,” said trainer Darrin Miller. “She’s a little bit better if we give her a little bit of time in between her races. We’re happy. We’re happy with the rain. Everything seems to be going forwardly. The weather is supposed to clear up, but either way we’re not too worried about the track.”
Ruby Notion will be only the fifth West Virginia-born horse to run in the Breeders' Cup and would be the first to win. While that makes her eligible to run in stakes restricted to West Virginia-breds, she proved too good from the start to take advantage of that class break. Ruby Notion won her debut in a $40,000 maiden-claiming race. Wesley Ward, her trainer at the time, sent her to Royal Ascot, where she was a very respectable fifth in the Windsor Castle Stakes. After winning Monmouth’s Colleen and Laurel’s Selima, she jumped into the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf at Keeneland in 2015. She tired to 13th in the mile race in the worse finish of her career. She’s been kept sprinting on turf ever since.
Ruby Notion takes on the boys for the first time since Ascot. “She’s going to run as hard as she can,” Miller said. “If she’s good enough to beat them, she’ll beat them. I don’t think it will be a gender issue. If she’s not, then she won’t. I think she fits in there and warrants a spot amongst that group.”

Moonlight Romance: Live play at 12-1 odds
|
Ken and Sarah Ramsey's Moonlight Romance won the richest prep race in the world for the new $1 million Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf Sprint, beating up on the boys in the inaugural
$500,000 Kentucky Downs Juvenile Turf Sprint. She needed two defections from the pre-entries to make the field, but she's in the starting gate with a big shot to win Friday.
Among the horses she'll have to beat, however, is her stablemate, 2-for-2 Shang Shang Shang, another filly who off a Keeneland maiden race won the Group 2 Norfolk Stakes at Royal Ascot in England, where trainer Wesley Ward has been a regular.
Moonlight Romance herself was 13th in the Windsor Castle Stakes at Ascot. But that 13th was out of 28 horses, and she lost by a total of 7 1/2 lengths. She rebounded to win at Kentucky Downs by three lengths.
Ward stuck to his plan to simply train her up to the Breeders' Cup. She's a live play at 12-1 in the morning line and drew well to be in post 6 under Kentucky Downs' 2018 riding champ Jose Ortiz.
“She came back to validate her favoritism at Royal Ascot when she won at Kentucky Downs,” Ward said. “What happened to her in England is a horse lost a shoe at the gate and she was stuck behind the gate and got really hot and excited. We gave her ample time to get over that mentally and physically, and she won with authority at Kentucky Downs, running a beautiful race. She prefers the firm ground, but she has some decent works over soft turf.”

Distance won't be problem for Mom's On Strike
|
(Photo: #4 Mom's On Strike narrowly lost the Ramsey Farm Stakes to Tricky Escape. Reed Palmer Photography)
As trainer Joe Sharp says, he was a neck shy of having an extremely good Kentucky Downs meet. Sharp’s horses went 1 for 13, but two of his four seconds were Mom’s On Strike’s head loss in the
$400,000 Ramsey Farm Stakes and Tracksmith’s defeat by the same margin in the
$400,000 Kentucky Downs Juvenile.
Mom’s On Strike goes in Saturday’s $2 million Breeders’ Cup Filly & Mare Turf. Tracksmith needs a defection by 8 a.m. ET Friday in order to run in the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Turf.
The 5-year-old Mom’s On Strike rallied from last in the Ramsey to take the lead with an eighth-mile to go but couldn’t put away Tricky Escape.
“Mom is doing well. I think she got a little bit lost in the Kentucky Downs stretch, which some of them do with the little but unorthodox course,” Sharp said of the slight dogleg in the stretch. “She’s proven over the Churchill Downs turf, and we’ve added blinkers back to her. She’s had three works in them since her last race and has been a lot more focused, a lot more engaged. Physically she’s coming into it as good as she has all year, so we’re really confident in her as an individual. From that, you just have to work out the trip.
“Obviously the competition is steep. But the distance is kind of an equalizer for us, I think, because a mile and three-eighths, the more the better for her. The added distance is only going to help. And she can handle soft turf, which it looks like we’re going to have. A filly like her, she’s going to come running, and at some point in the race it’s going to look like she’s got a shot to win it. Whether she does or not is up to if she’s good enough.”
Mom's On Strike has been good enough to win three stakes this year, including Keeneland's Grade 3 Bewitch at 1 1/2 miles. She was second in Saratoga's $200,000 Waya taken off the turf before the Ramsey Farm.

Kentucky Downs applies for Oak Grove license,
announces major expansion at Franklin track
|
'We are confident plans at both sites will complement each other and provide maximum revenues for the Kentucky horse industry'
Commission to select winning Oak Grove applicant within 30 days
Kentucky Downs filed an application with the Kentucky Horse Racing Commission to build a standardbred track to be named Oak Grove Meadows on 80 acres near the intersection of Interstate 24 and U.S. 41-A in close proximity to Fort Campbell and Clarksville, Tenn. Kentucky Downs is committing $45 million to the Oak Grove project and plans to spend an additional $25 million in a major expansion of its existing track in Franklin, Kentucky.
The Kentucky Horse Racing Commission this week voted to award harness dates to all three applicants for a track in Oak Grove in order to meet the statutory deadline of Nov. 1 for awarding racing and simulcasting dates. However, only one applicant will get the license, with the KHRC planning to vote on the winner within a month.
Kentucky Downs said in its presentation to the KHRC that its owners took the considerable financial risk to implement and develop historical horse racing in the state back in 2011, that Oak Grove is in its market and that it makes more sense for the tracks to be working together rather than in competition. Kentucky Downs also pointed to the millions of dollars it has transferred to other Kentucky tracks' purse accounts in an arrangement with its horsemen's association.
Kentucky Downs president Corey Johnsen told the racing commissioners during the track's presentation Tuesday that Oak Grove first came into play in 2014 when Oak Grove officials approached him about trying to create something on the lines of Kentucky Downs in their community.
“For a number of years, we have been working with the
Kentucky Harness Horsemen’s Association
and the City of Oak Grove to fill a void in the standardbred circuit and to create an entertainment and tourist destination in southwest Kentucky that complements existing businesses and enterprises," Johnsen said last month.
The proposed track would race 15 days from Oct. 11 to Nov. 10, 2019, with purses fueled year-round by up to 500 Exacta Systems historical horse racing (HHR) terminals, the innovative technology that marries the pari-mutuel wagering system that is the backbone of American horse racing and the action of electronic video gaming while based on the results of previously-run races. The harness track will be five-eighths of a mile with 450 stalls.
Kentucky Downs, which earlier this year completed the largest renovation in track history, also plans an expansion to double the size of the main building housing its historical horse racing and simulcasting operation as well as constructing a state-of-the-art equestrian complex. The new space will be able to accommodate an additional 800 HHR terminals, a full-service steakhouse and sports lounge. The track also wants to build an indoor equestrian arena with an integrated grandstand that serves live-racing guests and a new cross-country eventing course in the infield. The multi-purpose arena venue would be supported by two warm-up areas, expanded stabling capacity and RV and trailer parking to service event participants and RV stopover traffic from nearby Interstate 65.
The global design and architectural firm
Populous
— known for the renovation and expansion of world-class facilities such as Ascot Racecourse and Yankee Stadium — has been retained for both Oak Grove Meadows and the Kentucky Downs’ expansion. Dennis Moore, one of the country’s most-respected track superintendents, will oversee the construction of the new harness racing surface.
“We have put together a dream team of experts and are excited to share our plans with the Kentucky horse industry,” Johnsen said. “We have developed expertise in operating historical horse racing and marketing to the Nashville region. We are confident that our plans at both sites will complement each other and provide maximum revenues for the Kentucky horse industry. This new phase will bring Kentucky Downs’ investment to $141 million since 2007.”
Johnsen said the expansion will go on even if Kentucky Downs is not awarded the Oak Grove license.

Franklin Circuit upholds legality of HHR
|
Franklin Circuit Court Judge Thomas Wingate upheld the legality of Kentucky Downs’ historical horse racing operation, determining that the track’s innovative electronic gaming terminals based on the results of previously-run horse races is pari-mutuel in nature and permitted under Kentucky law.
