Malibu Moon Filly Tops F-T Pinhook Prospects

A Malibu Moon filly, who likely could have been in the Fasig-Tipton Saratoga yearling sale had she not been dealt a setback, is the most expensive previously sold yearling in the upcoming Fasig-Tipton October sale in Lexington, which occurs Oct. 24-26.

Produced from the stakes-winning More Than Ready mare In the Slips, the filly consigned by Eaton Sales as Hip 11, was purchased at last year's Keeneland November sale for $220,000 by trainer Gary Contessa on behalf of a client for the purpose of reselling her as a yearling. The filly was bred in Kentucky by her Keeneland consignor, Hunter Valley Farm, and Beechwood Farming.

"She is a lovely filly," said Eaton's Reiley McDonald. "She would have brought between $400,000-$600,000 had she gone to Saratoga."

The second highest-priced pinhook prospect at Fasig-Tipton is a Bodemeister colt consigned by Hidden Brook as Hip 141 purchased by McMahon & Hill Bloodstock for $170,000 when offered by Brookdale Sales at Keeneland November. The colt is out of theStevie Wonderboy mare Made to Love Her, winner of the Moccasin Stakes and runner-up in the grade II Santa Ynez.

A Pioneerof the Nile colt consigned as Hip 926 by Betz Thoroughbreds, as agent is the third-highest-priced October pinhook. The colt, a half brother to two stakes winners and from the family of multiple group I winner and sire Agnes World, was bought by Clear Ridge Stables for $145,000 at Keeneland November when consigned by Four Star Sales.

Another Pioneerof the Nile colt, Hip 808, was a $140,000 purchase by Kings Landing Purchases from the Chilly Bleak Farm group as a short yearling at this year's Keeneland January sale. Consigned by Paramount Sales, the colt is from the female family of grade I winners Bellamy Road and Gold Fever.

A colt by The Factor and a Liaison filly, each purchased for $110,000, round out the list of top October pinhook prospects. Consigned by Dromoland Farm as Hip 297, the colt, produced from a half sister to grade II winner and stakes producer Dream About, was bought by Targosyen Equine in January.

The Liaison filly, Hip 716, was purchased by Preston Stable and Prestonwood Racing from the Four Star Sales consignment at last year's Keeneland November sale. She is from the family of multiple grade I winner Videogenic.

As the last of the nine yearling-only sales in North America this year, the October sale is the final opportunity for breeders or pinhookers to either sell, face the prospect of incurring additional overhead costs by waiting until next year's juvenile auctions, or send them to race.

The most expensive RNA in the catalog is Hip 942, a son of Tapit out of the grade III-winning Cherokee Run mare Cherokee Queen, an 11-race winner who earned $628,312 and the dam of stakes-placed Entertainer. The chestnut colt is consigned by South Point Sales Agency, agent, which also had him in this year's Saratoga sale when he was bought back on a final bid of $500,000.

Pisani: Revenue growth turnaround 8 Hours Ago | 03:46

U.S. stocks closed lower on Tuesday, pressured by a rising dollar, while investors digested data from the International Monetary Fund and remarks from a Federal Reserve official.

"You've got two schools of thought here. You have momentum traders buying dips but you also have the dollar rising and the view that it could keep going is weighing on markets," said Daniel Deming, managing director at KKM Financial.

The dollar index, which measures the U.S. currency's performance against six others, hit its highest level in almost two months. It was last up 0.49 percent at 96.17.

The Dow Jones industrial average fell as much as 137.59 points before closing about 85 points lower, with 3M contributing the most losses. The S&P 500 fell 0.64 percent, with utilities falling more than 2 percent to lead decliners. The benchmark index fell below 2,150 earlier in the session, a key support level. "If we break that level, then you could see some more downside momentum," said Deming.

The Nasdaq composite closed 0.2 percent lower. Stocks had gyrated in the early part of the session, alternating between gains and losses, before closing lower.

"Right now, in the U.S. market, there's a bit of a vacuum," said Bill Merz, investment strategist at U.S. Bank Wealth Bank Management. "It sounds like a broken record, ... but we're just playing a waiting game."

Traders work on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange.

Overall global growth is expected to expand at 3.1 percent in 2016, according to the IMF's "World Economic Outlook" released Tuesday. That's unchanged from its July forecast. But advanced economies, which include the United States, will slow this year to 1.6 percent growth. That compares with 2.1 percent last year and a July IMF forecast of 1.8 percent.

Gold futures for December delivery fell more than 3 percent to settle at $1,269.70 per ounce, posting its worst trading day since 2013.

"The sell-off which we are seeing for gold is mainly due to the reason that some Fed members have created noise again that November meeting could be live when it comes to the interest rate. Although it sounds extremely bizarre because we also have the US election in that particular month, and I do not see the Fed combining the two risky events together," Naeem Aslam, chief market analyst at Think Markets, said in a note to clients.

Investors also watched Deutsche's stock, after it sent markets around the world for a roller-coaster ride last week as worries that it would not be able to pay its massive fine weighed on investor sentiment. On Tuesday, the German banking giant's U.S.-listed shares rose more than 2 percent.

German newspaper Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung reported over the weekend that Deutsche's CEO John Cryan would be in Washington DC to negotiate a settlement with the U.S. government over its $14 billion fine.

"It's very important for investors to read between the lines," said Adam Sarhan, CEO at Sarhan Capital. "Market participants have a way of separating facts and noise. Right now, the fact is that investors have lost confidence in Deutsche Bank."

In Fed news, Richmond Fed President Jeffrey Lacker said there was a strong case to raise interest rates significantly and keep inflation under control. "Pre-emptive increases in the federal funds rate are likely to play a critical role in maintaining the stability of inflation," Lacker, a non-voting member of the Fed's policymaking committee, said in a statement.

U.S. Treasury yields rose after Lacker's speech, with the two-year note yield at 0.82 percent and the benchmark 10-year yield at 1.68 percent.

Chicago Fed President Charles Evans is set to speak at 7:40 p.m. ET, on monetary policy and the economy.

"I think the Fed speeches are going to be noise in the background today," said Art Hogan, chief market strategist at Wunderlich Securities. "Right now, we're looking at a data-heavy week, but most of that is due at the end of the week."

Key data reports due this week include the September jobs report, scheduled for release Friday at 8:30 a.m. ET.

"The market is in a wait-and-see mode. We've got earnings season coming and earnings have contracted even with low interest rates," said Sarhan. "The economy is lackluster and you've got currency fluctuations sometimes adversely affecting earnings."

Earnings season is set to kick into full gear next week, when Alcoa reports quarterly results.

Overseas, European equities rose broadly, as the British FTSE 100 advanced 1.3 percent, while the British pound hit its lowest level in more than 30 years. Earlier on Tuesday, The IMF said uncertainty stemming from the so-called Brexit will dampen investor confidence. It sees the U.K. expanding at only 1.8 percent this year, and sees a deepening slowdown to 1.1 percent next year. The U.K. grew at a 2.2 percent pace last year.

"I think a lot of currency investors figures that the UK would be able to negotiate a special deal," said Chris Gaffney, president of EverBank World Markets. "Calling for a March exit really caught people off guard."

The Dow Jones industrial average closed 85.40 points lower, or 0.47 percent, at 18,168.45, with 3M leading decliners and JPMorgan Chase leading advancers.

The S&P 500 fell 10.71 points, or 0.5 percent, to close at 2,150.49, with utilities leading 10 sectors lower and financials the only advancer.

Stakes Preview: The Vosburgh is A. P. Indian’s Race To Lose. Will He Show Up?

Stakes Preview: The Vosburgh is A. P. Indian’s Race To Lose. Will He Show Up?

DontLetTheGamePassYouByfortfus

>>Go to the PPs for The G1 Vosburgh | Post Time 5:11 EDT Saturday

It’s been a few years since we’ve had a dominant older Grade 1 dirt sprinter in this country, which makes A. P. Indian a welcome presence. He is undoubtedly the leader of this division after sweeping both Grade 1 sprints for older horses at Saratoga, running his winning streak to five. If he shows up, he’s a likely winner of this race—but will he show up? His connections have cast doubt over whether they would run him over a sloppy track, and there is plenty of rain in the forecast for Friday and Saturday. If he remains on the sidelines, this race really opens up.

Let’s go through the field:

#1, Weekend Hideaway (20/1): This horse has been plagued by inconsistency but seems to have gotten over those issues this year, as he’s put together four straight solid performances, including three wins against New York-breds. However, he was no match for X Y Jet at Gulfstream, or even Stallwalkin’ Dude in this race last year, so it would appear that he’s a cut below the best runners at this level. That said, he would be one worth moving up if the track comes up wet.

#2, Holy Boss (4/1): After reeling off four straight victories towards the first half of his three-year-old campaign, he’s been winless since last year’s Amsterdam at Saratoga. He’s hardly been disgraced in any of those races, and some might even argue that he’s improved as a four-year-old. However, the fact remains that he’s been in position to win in four straight races and just has not been able to seal the deal. Today his task is complicated by an inside draw in a race that features other speed and stalking types drawn to his outside. He resented getting stuck down inside in the True North two back, and he could be in for a similar trip here.

#3, Joking (8/1): After struggling to get through his allowance conditions for what seemed like an eternity, Joking has come on suddenly this year at the age of seven. Charlton Baker is having a fantastic year on the NYRA circuit and this runner’s success in the Grade 2 True North has to be considered his crowning achievement. That said, he missed some races over the summer and now must be set to top even his prior performance while returning from a layoff dating back to mid-June. The hurdles are significant, but he does love Belmont Park and ran a competitive speed figure when last seen. I’ll be using him underneath in exactas and trifectas.

#4, Green Gratto (30/1):

It’s hard to imagine that this admirable old warrior will be able to stick with X Y Jet early and still be around at the finish. He’s a pace presence (our Pace Projector has him pressing the early pace), but probably not much else.

#5, A. P. Indian (1/1):

There is little to criticize when analyzing this gelding’s recent form. He’s equally effective at distances ranging from six to seven furlongs; he can race on the lead or come from off the pace; and he’s run speed figures that are simply a few points higher than those of almost all of his competitors. In winning 10 of his 16 lifetime starts, he’s finished out of the money only twice. However, one of those subpar performances did come over a sloppy track in last year’s Phoenix at Keeneland. It’s possible that he needs a fast track to produce his very best effort, and he’s unlikely to get that on Saturday. However, if that is the case, his connections have indicated that he’d be unlikely to run. If the track is anything close to fast and he shows up, I’m not trying to beat him.

#6, X Y Jet (7/2): In many ways, this horse is the real wild card in the race. He is the only runner in this field to have consistently run speed figures that suggest he could give A. P. Indian a scare. However, he has not been seen since late March, and his connections picked an awfully ambitious spot in which to bring him back. Speed is the name of the game for this son of Kantharos, and he will try to take them as far as he can up front. However, he’s never encountered a horse that can finish up like A. P. Indian, and I wonder if an early tussle with Green Gratto could leave him somewhat vulnerable late. It’s also fair to wonder whether he can produce his best form in New York. Jorge Navarro’s runners have been effective at Monmouth and Gulfstream, but he gets only a 54 trainer rating on the NYRA circuit. Perhaps his Golden Shaheen effort is supposed to ease those concerns, but I still need to see it here to believe it.

#7, Stallwalkin’ Dude (8/1):

He nearly won this race last year after boldly forging to the lead past midstretch under Irad Ortiz. However, the game Rock Fall had just enough left in reserve to battle back for the victory. Things have not gone smoothly since then, as he’s had his ups and downs and seemed to completely tail off during the spring and early summer of this year. However, he got back on track at Saratoga and earned another Grade 1 placing in the Forego. He was never going to beat A. P. Indian that day, but he still ran a creditable race. Now he shortens up to arguably his best distance while in some of the best form of his career. I don’t anticipate that he’ll beat A. P. Indian, but he’d become a major player in the event that the favorite scratches.

#8, Dannie’s Deceiver (20/1):

If the surface does indeed come up sloppy, it figures to help this guy more than anyone else. In three runs over sealed tracks, he’s earned two wins and a second, which is better than he’s done in all of his fast track races. It would have seemed unlikely that he could compete against a field of this quality just a few months ago, but he’s made huge strides over his past few starts. He defeated a strong allowance field on Belmont Stakes day in June, and then made an eye-catching run from far back to nearly win in July. He was still dismissed at 40/1 in the Forego—his stakes debut—but he managed to pass more than half the field while rallying from last to be fourth. The fact that he was able to accomplish such a feat over a fast track speaks to the form that he’s in right now. I take it as a positive sign that Jose Ortiz climbs aboard, and the stiff 6-furlong workout that he put in a few days ago would appear to indicate that he’s feeling good coming into this race. If there’s one horse in this race that could surprise a lot of people and step up to hit the board—or even win, if A. P. Indian is absent—I believe it’s him.

THE PLAY

If A. P. Indian (#5) runs, he’s my top pick, but I think there are a few runners that could be used underneath him in exactas and trifectas, including Stallwalkin’ Dude (#7) and Dannie’s Deceiver (#8). If the favorite is scratched, then Dannie’s Deceiver would inherit the role of my top selection.

With A. P. Indian:

Win/Place: 8

Exacta: 5 with 7,8

Trifecta: 5 with 7,8 with 1,2,3,6,7,8

Trifecta: 5 with 1,2,3,6 with 7,8

FULL GATE FOR RODEO DRIVE: GI Rodeo Drive S. Saturday, featuring a 14-horse scramble to seize a A Win and Youre In qualifying bid to the Nov. 5 GI Breeders Cup Filly and Mare Turf

FULL GATE FOR RODEO DRIVE

by Ben Massam

The brand-new Santa Anita turf course will play host to a contentious renewal of the GI Rodeo Drive S. Saturday, featuring a 14-horse scramble to seize a A Win and Youre In qualifying bid to the Nov. 5 GI Breeders Cup Filly and Mare Turf. Trainer Michael Stidham sends out 7- 2 morning-line favorite Zipessa (City Zip) to tackle 10 furlongs for the first time in her career. The chestnut recently attacked a quick pace and held on determinedly to finish third in Arlingtons GI Beverly D. S. Aug. 13. Zipessa figures to be on or near the lead again Saturday, and retains the services of Florent Geroux, who was aboard for her win in the GIII Dr. James Penney Memorial S. at Parx July 4.

Zipessa will likely have company from Avenge (War Front) near the front of the Rodeo Drive cavalry charge. Winner of the nine-furlong GII John C. Mabee S. at Del Mar Sept. 4, the dark bay--whose previous successesin Arcadia have come in turf sprints--will also confront the longest distance test of her career Saturday. Decked Out (Street Boss) represents the opposite end of the pace spectrum, doing her best work from the backfield. The sophomore recently made an eye-catching move on the turn and came up a head short when runner-up behind Harmonize (Scat Daddy) in the GI Del Mar Oaks Aug. 20. Bjorn Neilsen=s Real Smart (Smart Strike) looms as an intriguing longshot for trainer Graham Motion, who has enjoyed considerable success shipping turf runnersto Southern California. Confidently spotted at the Grade I level, the 4-year- old British import captured the GIII Robert G. Dick Memorial S. at Delaware Park July 9.

Santa Anitas GI Chandelier S., which offers a guaranteed spot in the gate for the GI Breeders Cup Juvenile Fillies here Nov. 5,

With three undefeated runners and several other strong contenders signed on, Saturday's renewal of Santa Anitas GI Chandelier S., which offers a guaranteed spot in the gate for the GI Breeders Cup Juvenile Fillies here Nov. 5, appears to be a

wide-open affair. Bob Baffert seeks his 10th victory in this event and will saddle two very strong chances to achieve that mark with >TDN Rising Stars= American Cleopatra (Pioneerof the Nile) and Noted

and Quoted (The Factor). A full-sister to Triple Crown winner and Horse of the Year American Pharoah, American Cleopatra was an impressive debut

winner over Union Strike (Union Rags) at Del Mar July 31, but wasforced to settle for second last time when that rival came running late to win the Sept. 3 GI Del Mar Debutante S. by 2 1/4 lengths going seven furlongs. Fourth in her July 16 Del Mar

unveiling, Speedway Stable=s Noted and Quoted romped by 9 1/2 lengths next out there Aug. 7 and was fourth last time in the Del Mar Debutante.

Also exiting the Debutante is third-place finisher Champagne Room (Broken Vow). Second when debuting in the same July 16 Del Mar test as Noted and Quoted, the bay broke her maiden with a win in the GII Sorrento S. Aug. 6 prior to her effort in the

Debutante last time. Leading the trio of unbeaten runners is LNJ Foxwoods= With Honors(War Front), who is two-for-two on grass thus far in her young career. Opening her account with a half-length success over the Del Mar lawn, the Keith Desormeaux pupil won that venue=s Juvenile Fillies Turf S. by the same margin last time Sept. 5. Also looking to remain perfect is Zapperkat (Ghostzapper), who romped by 5 1/4 lengths in her Del Mar unveiling Aug. 20; and Bitzka (Tiago), who was claimed by Hronis Racing and John Sadler for $62,500 after a debut win at Del Mar Aug. 25 and

followed suit with a victory in the Barretts Debutante S. Sept. 17.
