>PATROL= IN CONTROL IN STRONG OPENER TO FASIG-TIPTON NEW
YORK SALE
by Jessica Martini
ARLINGTON MILLION XXXV
SARATOGA SPRINGS, NY -- Bidding remained fast and furious in
Saratoga, as the Fasig-Tipton New York-Bred Yearlings Sale, held
just three days after a record-setting Saratoga Selected Yearlings
Sale, opened Saturday evening in the Humphrey Finney Pavilion.
AWe hit the trifecta again tonight from a sales perspective,@
said Fasig-Tipton President Boyd Browning, Jr. AThe average was
up, the median was up and the RNA rate was down. I think we
saw a continuation of the same trends from the select sale
earlier in the week.@
During Saturday=s session, 93 yearlings sold for $8,155,000.
The average of $75,000 was up 13.5% from last year=s sale
average of $77,246. The median rose 25% to $60,000. The buy-
back rate was 24.4%.

length. Favored Deauville (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}), who sidestepped a
possible matchup with Beach Patrol in last year=s Secretariat and
was instead a game third against his elders in this race, could
not capitalize on an ideal trip and rounded out the trifecta for
the second straight year.
It was a stakes double for Head of Plains Partners= LLC Sol

AThis was the spot and the race we=ve been waiting for a year,@
said Kumin, who campaigns Beach Patrol with Jim Covello and
Sheep Pond Partners. AHe loves it here, Joel gave us a great ride,
obviously Chad and his team had the horse ready and we=re
super happy. It=s funny I=ve seen the trophy and Chad always
talked about this is the best trophy in horse racing. It doesn=t get
much better than this.@

World Class Performance
Amerman Racing’s three year old homebred Oscar Performance,
winner of the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Turf (G1) last season, lands his third

DACITA GIVES BROWN RECORD FOURTH >D=
Sent off at a generous 13-2 in Saturday=s GI Beverly D. S. at
Arlington Park, Dacita (Chi) (Scat Daddy) kicked home fastest of
all to give trainer Chad Brown a record fourth victory in the race
and third in succession.
Drawn gate one, Dacita was away without incident and
dropped out to the latter third of the field as Zipessa (City Zip), a
pacesetting third in last year=s Beverly D., cut out the early
fractions in advance of G1 Darley Irish Oaks runner-up Rain
Goddess (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}). The well-backed Grand Jete settled
midfield, with favored Dona Bruja to her outside and Dacita on
her back as they raced out of the stretch. Continuing to hug the
fence turning down the backside, Dacita was eased out a path or

two U.S. races with dazzling late moves, but was allowed to
