Reride, tabbed a ‘TDN Rising Star’ after his debut win at Churchill last June, added an allowance victory over the turf at Keeneland Oct. 25 before concluding his juvenile campaign with a sixth-place effort in the Nov. 25 GII Kentucky Jockey Club S. He returned this year with a narrow score in the Jan. 13 Big Drama S. at Delta Downs. The bay colt was just off the lead as favorite Runaway Ghost battled through an opening quarter in in :21.54. He snuck through along the rail to make it a three-way battle for the lead down the backstretch through a half in :47.88. Reride took command nearing the stretch and looked set to pull away, but Runaway Ghost battled back to just get his nose in front again at midstretch only to have Reride find another gear and forge clear. The winner’s first three dams were all Winchell homebreds. Remit, a two-time stakes winner in the Winchell colors, produced a filly by Munnings last year and was bred back to Candy Ride (Arg). The mare is a full-sister to stakes winner and graded stakes placed Retap and to multiple graded stakes winner Tapiture. Her dam Free Spin has a yearling colt by hot second-crop sire Take Charge Indy and she was bred back to Fast Anna. The Winchells purchased Spin N Win’s dam Debs Angel, in foal to Capote, for $190,000 at the 1991 Keeneland November sale. Click for the Equibase.com chart or VIDEO, sponsored by Fasig-Tipton.

Economic Model Makes the Grade in Hal’s Hope
Klaravich Stable and William H. Lawrence’s Economic Model (Flatter) won the 2016 Easy Goer S. and had placed no fewer than four times at graded level, including a runner-up effort behind champion Drefong (Gio Ponti) in that year’s GI King’s Bishop S. But if Saturday’s GIII Hal’s Hope S. is any indication, there could be much bigger and better to come for the 5-year-old, who outslugged the classy comebacker Irish War Cry (Curlin) to score by 1 3/4 lengths. The race was marred by a single-horse fall on the far turn involving Paul Pompa’s Send It In (Big Brown), who broke down in his right fore and could not be saved.
Malagacy (Shackleford), making his second start since finishing a heavily bet fifth in last year’s GI Arkansas Derby, looked to toss his head at the break and was therefore off a step slow, but he soon recovered beneath Javier Castellano and worked his way to the front as Irish War Cry, having his first run since last year’s GI Pennsylvania Derby, held his spot at the fence. Economic Model raced off the pacesetters for the opening three-eighths of a mile, then split rivals to turn the pressure up on Malagacy entering the turn. Irish War Cry rode the rails on the bend, but popped off into a three-wide position nearing the lane and it was a two-horse affair at the quarter pole when Malagacy faded tamely away.
Irish War Cry came in slightly and bumped Economic Model nearing the entrance to the final furlong, but never could grind his way past and the Chad Brown runner crossed the line a reasonably comfortable winner. Tower of Texas (Street Sense) closed belatedly for third.
“He never let the other horse pass him,” winning jockey Irad Ortiz, Jr., said. “He’s the kind of horse that when he makes the lead, if you hit him left he will get out and if you hit him right he will get in. I didn’t want to have any contact with the other horse, so I switched my stick and hit him right-handed. I just took a hold of him and kept him straight.”
Eighth to then-stablemate Connect (Curlin) in the 2016 GI Cigar Mile H., Economic Model made four very well-spaced trips to the races in 2017, good for a third in an April allowance at Belmont and a season-ending victory in a similar test in Elmont Oct. 12. In preparing for this seasonal debut, he had been working with champion Good Magic (Curlin), who resumes in next Saturday’s GII Xpressbet.com Fountain of Youth S.
Jockey Jose Ortiz was pleased with the return effort of Irish War Cry, winner of last year’s GII Holy Bull S. over the Gulfstream surface.
“We had the one hole–that didn’t play in our favor,” he said. “Malagacy broke good. I knew he had a lot of speed. He wanted to go, so I sat. Graham told me he didn’t want him to go head-to-head. He was coming off a long layoff. We didn’t want to get caught in a speed duel. I just followed Malagacy and Irad. I finally got out at the quarter pole. I thought he was going to win.”
Pedigree Notes:
Bred on the same A.P. Indy–Quiet American cross responsible for the likes of Bernardini, Economic Model–the 16th graded winner for his sire–is immediately related to two horses that did the bulk of their best work on the turf. Jimmy Simms (Lost Soldier) won listed stakes on the grass in Canada, Minnesota and down on the Bayou and was third in the GIII Commonwealth Turf in Kentucky, while half-sister Well Monied (Maria’s Mon) won the GII Honeymoon H. and was Grade I placed in the American and Del Mar Oaks. Economic Model’s full-sister Your Love, a $425,000 KEESEP yearling, has won half of her six career starts and was second for Pompa and Chad Brown in the 2017 Safety Kept S. at Laurel Park.
Queen of America is the dam of the 3-year-old gelding King Orb (Orb), a yearling full-brother to Economic Model and a colt by Runhappy foaled just two days ago.

ORGANIC FARM FRESH PAPAYA DESSERT | RIPE PAPAYA HALWA | HEALTHY VILLAGE FOOD
ORGANIC FARM FRESH PAPAYA DESSERT | RIPE PAPAYA HALWA | HEALTHY VILLAGE FOOD
Papaya dessert or Halwa is a very different dessert compared to any other DESSERT/Halwa. This dessert can be prepared using raw, semi ripe or fully ripe papaya. The advantage of using ripe papaya is that it requires very less amount of sugar and this is best suited for people on low calorie diet.
PREPARATION:
#The ripe papaya is grated.
#Pan is heated with ghee and almonds, cashews and raisins are fried till they are turned to golden colour. Then it is transferred to a plate.
#Grated papaya heated till the juice is evaporated.
#Sugar and small amount of milk is added and mixed well.
#The mixture is heated till the sugar blends well with the papaya. The sugar in the halwa should form to strings.
# finally garnish with roasted dry fruits.

Good Magic Leads Fountain of Youth Workers
Champion juvenile male Good Magic (Curlin) was among a number of sophomores who breezed Saturday with an eye towards next week’s GII Fountain of Youth S. at Gulfstream Park. Unseen since breaking his maiden in the GI Breeders’ Cup Juvenile, the e Five Racing Thoroughbreds and Stonestreet Stables colorbearer went four furlongs by himself at Palm Meadows in :48.30 (5/56) (XBTV Video).
Also out for spins Saturday were a trio of Dale Romans trainees who worked at Gulfstream: Grade I winner and last-out GII Holy Bull S. runner-up Free Drop Billy (Union Rags) (5f, 1:01.55, 16/39); GII Kentucky Jockey Club S. third finisher Promises Fulfilled (Shackleford) (5f, 1:00.42, 8/39); and Feb. 4 allowance winner Storm Runner (Get Stormy) (5f, :59.01, 4/39).
“Everybody worked well,” Romans said. “I haven’t decided what I’m going to do with them all yet, but I’ll make that decision [Sunday]…They’re moving forward all the time. They’re some nice horses, they’re doing well and I’ve just got to pick the right spots for them. They have to step it up now. As long as they step up, we’ll be in good shape.”
Speedy, unbeaten ‘TDN Rising Star‘ Strike Power (Speightstown), who took the seven-furlong GIII Swale S. Feb. 3, stopped the clock in :48.14 (11/86). His breeze also came over the Gulfstream main track and was in company with older stablemate Carlino (Lemon Drop Kid).
“I thought he went well,” trainer Mark Hennig said. “Everything went according to plan. He didn’t work too fast but go something out of it so we were pleased… These races are coming up in fairly short order, and we got a good five-eighths last week and we went a half today and galloped out nice. He settled off of Carlino and finished up nice.”
Feb. 3 maiden special weight romper Machismo (More Than Ready) fired the five-furlong bullet in Hallandale in :58.45 (1/39).
Chemical Charge the Marquee Horse in the Emir’s Trophy
Qatar Racing Ltd.’s Chemical Charge (Ire) (Sea the Stars {Ire}) is the star turn in an interesting group of 16 that will face the starter for Saturday’s US$1-million Emir’s Trophy (2400m) at Al Rayyan Racecourse in Doha, Qatar.
The Ralph Beckett-trained 6-year-old had a banner season in 2017, earning a first group success in the G3 September S. over the Kempton all-weather while also finishing a close third to Idaho (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) at odds of 25-1 in the G2 Hardwicke S. (2400m) during the Royal meeting last June. Chemical Charge is exiting a very good fourth as an 86-1 shot to Idaho’s full-brother Highland Reel (Ire) in the G1 Longines Hong Kong Vase Dec. 10.
Mac Mahon (Ity) (Ramonti {Fr}) was crowned Italy’s champion 3-year-old in 2017 on the strength of his towering five-length victory in the G2 Derby Italiano in May and narrow defeat against older rivals in the G2 Premio Roma in late November. The bay, campaigned by Japanese businessman Tataya Shimakawa, made his first trip across to Qatar a winning one, coming away to a comprehensive victory in the US$500,000 Qatar Derby Dec. 30 (video).
The Blue Eye (Ire) (Dubawi {Ire}) was the four-length winner of the Emir’s Trophy two years ago and has retained solid form since with six wins from 10 appearances. The Arqana Arc sale grad couldn’t quite overcome a tough trip last time and went down to a neck defeat at the hands of Barwod (GB) (Lope de Vega {Ire}) in a 11-furlong allowance Feb. 1 (video). Perennial leading rider Harry Bentley has the call for Jassim Ghazali.
Champion US trainer Chad Brown saddles his first Qatar runner in the form of Money Multiplier (Lookin At Lucky). Now owned by the locally based Al Shahania Stud, the ridgling won the 2017 GII Monmouth S. and was four times Grade I placed for previous owners Klaravich Stable and William H. Lawrence.
Post time for the Emir’s Trophy is 4.15pm local time (1.15pm BST/8.15am US Eastern time). A live feed may be found at www.qrec.gov.qa.
