Group 1s to report. European bred horses continue to ship to the US and pick up nice paydays. At Keeneland, in the G1 Maker's Mark Mile (turf) was won by Godophin's Master of The Seas (Dubawi - Firth of Lorne by Danehill) defeated stablemate Naval Power. The next day in the G1 Jenny Wiley Stakes over 1 1/16 miles (turf), 25/1 French-bred longshot Beaute Cachee (Literato - Sign and Seal by Hurricane Run) ridden of course by Frankie Dettori wins by 1 1/2 lengths. In the G1 Apple Blossom Handicap over 1 1/16 miles (dirt), Bob Baffert shipped Adare Manor (Uncle Mo - Brooklynsway, by Giant Gizmo) and she bolted in by 5 1/2 lengths as the 7/10 odds-on. The US$1 1/4 million stakes offered at Oaklawn Park are just too attractive for Bob and his mates not to scalp. California just doesn't offer that kind of value these days!

Hades did fail to win. Encino led all the way and out paced The Wine Steward to collect the points. Encino ends up with 40 points and in 21st place and No More Time, qualifies in 20th. No sooner that No More Time qualified, this morning after trialing at Payson Park in Florida he fractured his condylar bone and is out for the year. Encino qualifies!

Is getting to the first Classic in the US. We had anudder defection. Deterministic, was pulled by the connections after his poor 7th in the G2 Wood Memorial. This allowed Grand Mo the First, the 2nd place finisher in the G1 Santa Anita Derby to get in the final 20 slots. Favorites Sierra Leone and Fierceness arrived today at Churchill Downs. Some of the others have been doing track work and getting some track familiarization done. Actual draw is done this Saturday with 4 also eligible entries added.

Thanks Brudder.
Interesting to see the sire Uncle Mo going very well in the USA. Must be the dirt aspect 'cos the vast majority of his Australian stock couldn't go a yard.

With regard to Uncle Mo - I'm a bit surprised about his non-impact in OZ. He had anudder G1 dirt winner the past weekend in Adare Manor in G1 Apple Blossom at Oaklawn Park and followed that up with a G3 in Kingsbarns in the Ben Ali Handicap at Keeneland. So dirt is his underlying trait. But he has had a few good turf horse including Golden Pal, Mo Forza, etc I think Grand Mo the First is a huge longshot with a Venezuelan flavor. I incorrectly wrote that he finished 2nd in the Santa Anita Derby. He actually was a well beaten 3rd to Fierceness in the Florida Derby.
