first word

6/10... I

...is the rating given by Paul Haigh for the 2013 Flat season

n many ways 2013 was a rather disappointing year, not just because that any year in which the two giants who’d bestrode the sport were gone was bound to have a sense of anti-climax about it. Frankel, about whom there is no more to be said, was busy at stud. Black Caviar did reappear, and it was good to see her well. But hers was very much a farewell tour, and after she’d gone we just had to get used to life with very good horses again. Which is not the same as life with two colossi. There was disappointment off the track too. The Al Zarooni affair cast a cloud not just over the early part of the British season, but over the entire Godolphin operation; and since Godolphin’s reach is global the shadow it cast covered much of the racing world. New legislation was passed in most jurisdictions, with the Australians leading the way by announcing a “from birth” blanket ban on the use of anabolic steroids on all racehorses. Whether this was an overreaction to the unfounded rumours that even the great mare herself might have been treated with them at some time in her life, or more a pre-emptive publicity coup designed to encourage sales of Australian stock, is debatable.

So, too, is the question of whether such a ban is practical or even fair on horses. Some horsemen still argue plausibly that, at times, sick or injured horses may respond to steroids when no other remedy will do. Is it fair that they should be deprived of them, or to their owners that if their horses are given them it must mean the end of their racing careers? A more charitable interpretation of Australia’s rule, which came into force on November 1 but which will not be enforced until March so that those who have been treated will have some period of leeway in which to get the substances out of their systems, is that the Australians simply realised before anyone else that racing must be seen to be pure as the driven snow in this respect, or the sporting public will not forgive. There were disappointments among the horses too. Too many of them for comfort in the early part of the season. Dawn Approach looked like a monster in the Guineas, a colt worthy of following where Frankel had trod at least, although to expect a repeat of that phenomenon was obviously too much. Then the son of New Approach was aimed by a perhaps slightly reluctant Jim Bolger at the Derby

www.internationalthoroughbred.net

– and was beaten before the field had gone a furlong. It was a clever old tactic by the Ballydoyle team to deprive him of the pace that was going to be needed to help him settle. But it was not his great trainer’s finest hour either. Dawn Approach came back for a narrow victory in a messy race for the St James’s Palace at Royal Ascot, a race that created a media-fanned rivalry with the unlucky Toronado. But even the Hannon colt’s turning of the tables in the Sussex Stakes was hardly enough to put that rivalry into the Brigadier Gerard-Mill Reef category, and unlike those greats both first and second in the Sussex ended their seasons on something of a downbeat. Farhh’s early-season brilliance in the Lockinge Stakes kindled hopes of fireworks from him. But then he succumbed to injury, and even when he returned to narrow victory over Cirrus Des Aigles in the Champion Stakes in October, an exciting race did little more than remind us of what Frankel had done to the winner at York in August 2012 and how long it had taken the gallant French gelding to get over his defeat by the paragon after running the race of his life in the 2012 Champion Stakes. When Orb won the Kentucky Derby there was widespread jubilation that a man as far beyond reproach as Shug

McGaughey should have been rewarded with what is still the US’s racing’s greatest prize. The talk of a Triple Crown was knee jerk, of course. But who would have imagined that Orb, or any of the other US Classic winners, would have shown so little as the season wore on that they wouldn’t even make an impression on the Breeders’ Cup? In fact, no Kentucky Derby runner even made it to the Classic. Al Kazeem promised stardom for a while. Then he was exposed by Declaration Of War in the Juddmonte International. Declaration Of War himself had finished way behind Farhh at Newbury before making a name for himself in the Queen Anne Stakes. In November his neck third in the Breeders’ Cup Classic was hailed by some as a triumphant performance in one of the alltime great races. But a glance at Mucho Macho Man’s previous form reveals that both the winner and the third are, in fact, some way short of greatness. And those who were carried away by the excitement of the finish and the gilt it put on Gary Stevens’s comeback crown might like to reflect that even though Joseph O’Brien made not a single error in positioning or judgement, a stronger jockey in a finish might have made the difference between

first word

“

...the Arc meeting nevertheless glittered like no other in an otherwise “normal” year victory and defeat. After his Dubai World Cup victory, greeted with the customary sackbut and psaltery by the massed crowds of hacks who love their March trips to the sunshine, Animal Kingdom showed nothing when he turned up in the Queen Anne, and the immediate reaction was that this year’s Dubai World Cup, like a couple of others recently, must have been a pretty awful race. I mean to say, Red Cadeaux second? And Side Glance third? Almost a joke Group 1, surely. But things did begin to look up at the end of the season,

and two of those things were a Group 1 victory in Australia for Side Glance (what exactly does that make Australia’s middle-distance horses?) and the astonishing performance of the astonishingly rugged Red Cadeaux in coming out best at the weights in a Melbourne Cup in which the first five home were all Europeans or ex-Europeans. Bravo to Australia’s Queen of Racing, Gai Waterhouse. But she could have done without Black Caviar’s trainer Peter Moody claiming on a TV programme that she had improved Fiorente so much after receiving him from

Sir Michael Stoute that he could now win a middle-distance Group 1 “anywhere in the world”. No he couldn’t, Peter. Check out Red Cadeaux’s form in middle-distance races and you’ll see why. Check out his form in particular with Novellist, authoritative winner of the King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes at Ascot in July. It was a great disappointment that Novellist didn’t get to the Arc. But the Arc meeting nevertheless glittered like no other in an otherwise “normal” year. Treve’s victory from a wide draw was so stunning it induced another chorus of complaint that the weight-for-age scale must be giving three-year-old fillies too much advantage. Moonlight Cloud’s superlative turn of foot in the Prix de la Forêt

almost upstaged her – and, it should be added, paid yet another compliment to Black Caviar, who’d been able to hold her off at Ascot in 2012 when well below her best. At the time of writing there remains the possibility of more glitter to come in the Japan Cup, the Hong Kong International Races and Orfevre’s last outing in the Japanese end-of-year championship, the Arima Kinen. But, for marks out ten for the whole season (assuming obviously that the full ten goes to 2012), you couldn’t give 2013 much more than a six. Or – ok then – if you’re really overwhelmed by Treve, as Sheikh Joaan obviously was when he paid an undisclosed number of millions for half of her, a seven. Just. Perhaps it was just a normal year...

the news

Dubawi joins sire Dubai Millennium as a six-figure stallion Darley stallion Dubawi has joined his sire, the ill-fated Dubai Millennium, and Juddmonte’s champion Frankel, as the only three six-figure stallions to be standing or have stood in Britain

since the turn of the century. Frankel’s fee has been held at its 2013 first-year figure of £125,000, while Dubawi’s fee for 2014 has been increased by 33 per cent to £100,000 from £75,000, which he was priced at for the past two years. Dubai Millennium stood at an advertised fee of £100,000 in 2001, his only year at stud. The fee for Machiavellian, another leading sire standing under the Darley banner, was listed

as private in 2005 having been £80,000 in 2004. Dubawi and Frankel are the only two British or Irish-based stallions to have been publically advertised at £100,000 or more since 2008. The fees for Coolmore stallions Galileo, Montjeu, and, at one-time Danehill Dancer, have all been listed as private since. Other stallions receiving fee increases for 2014 include Dandy Man and Intense Focus, who both enjoyed good seasons with their

first runners. Mastercraftsman has been given the largest percentage increase, his fee going from £12,500 to £35,000, a 180 per cent rise. Juddmonte has moved Dansili ahead of stud companion Oasis Dream. The pair both stood last spring at £80,000; the son of Danehill has been given a £15,000 hike to £95,000 for 2014, while Oasis Dream’s fee has been tweaked upwards to £85,000.

xxxxx Pinhooking foals is a “specialist art”

disappointing this spring and Lee Mottershead suggested that “he should get counsel from Mark Kavanagh or Gai Waterhouse – after he has done that he might be wise to try Aidan O’Brien and Alain Royer de Dupré”. Australian trainers are having a torrid time coming to terms with the outlawing of steroids and a concerted effort to ban peptides, led by New South Wales racing authorities. Racing NSW has also announced that it is intending to stage an autumn racing festival in the hope of attracting international runners. Certainly the weather then is usually settled and now the Carnival is no longer tied to Easter, the organsation can hope to attract runners from around the globe. The next three weeks sees a final burst of sales activity. Team Norris/ Huntingdon will be trying to build a nice Clairemont Stud draft to resell in Book 1 at Tattersalls 2014, while Jenny Norris will be baby-sitting Dancing Rain ahead of her sale date at Tattersalls (we’ll know results of that by the time you read this).

The new stud only needs the trees and hedges to get another two years of growth for it to look as if it has been a stud farm for years. Foal buying is often regarded as a specialist art and too hard by many people to be attempted. Irish pinhookers have a great reputation for getting it right, even if it means waiting till the breeze-up sales to finally show a profit. The fun thing at the foal sales is seeing the progeny by new sires and

“

inter is approaching after a lengthy autumn; it was pretty wet in Kingsclere. Andrew Balding ended the season with a flourish: training a century of winners for the first time, gaining a worthy Group 1 win at the Spring Carnival in Melbourne with the home-bred Side Glance and scoring a notable Listed winner for John Pearce, the “senior” owner in the yard on the final day of the season. The first yearlings were delivered in mid-November from Charlie and Tracey Vigors, while six geldings are now on a months’ break in the paddocks in front of the house. European runners put up a good show in the Breeders’ Cup and had a great run in Victoria with the strong team at the Spring Carnival. Peter Moody seems to be on a different planet these days with some strong sledges directed at our trainers; sadly his on-air performance has been deleted by You Tube (see page132 for details). Moody’s own record has been

this year of the 13 with first foals, nine are Group 1 winners. Conformational faults rarely disappear; perhaps one of the most testing judgements is on size. Studs which specialise in selling foals such as West Blagdon, (James and Anita Wigan), the Masons at Sillfield and Norelands have drafts that are usually in hot demand. Trickledown has 59 in this year’s Tattersalls consignment, but Paul and Sarah Thorman should find managing that number easy – after all they did an apprenticeship at Taylor Made in the US. Perhaps the Thormans will introduce the communal singing that so energised them when based in the states. Foals are not subject to wind tests, but pre-sale scoping and, even though that can still change dramatically from foal to yearling, it is advised if buying at the top end. The same goes for x-rays, if you are buying in the big league. Otherwise a good body, an athletic walk and level temperament work just as well when judging a foal as for a yearling.

The Cartier Awards were fairly predictable with Treve taking the major prize. Liam and I were delighted to see the Racing Post trophy winner Kingston Hill scoop an award – we had bought an expensive Mount Nelson colt at Deauville, whose pedigree had looked a little light till his uncle came good at Doncaster. Trainer Jim Bolger won a deserved Cartier / Daily Telegraph Order of Merit. A Wexford man, a Catholic, a teetotaller and an ardent nonsmoker, he has nurtured the talents of Aidan O’Brien, Willie Mullins, David Wachman, A.P. McCoy and Paul Carberry amongst many others. At one point both Bolger and I trained horses for Henryk de Kwiatkowski, a born raconteur and embellisher, the owner of Calumet Farm and Danzig. I ended up in unusual places with his horses winning a Group 2 at Warsaw on Arc day and the Premio Memorial Duque de Toledo in Madrid in November 1996 with Mongol Warrior. Henryk got a giant cup, I got a silver keyring! And, unfortunately, prize money was not forthcoming. Bolger has backed Equinome, a company established in 2009 by Emmeline Hill and using Bolger’s stock for the research. Its aim is to “definitively identify the optimum racing distance for an

individual racehorse and evaluate their potential for elite performance at that trip.” I met Bolger shortly after Dawn Approach had pulled his way out of staying the Derby trip and rather cheekily commented that at least it proved the reliability of the science, which identified him as a miler and not a stayer. I recently spent a weekend in Shropshire doing a “bed and breakfast” course. There were nine other “wannabe” hosts, including a retired policeman, a retired cruise ship purser, a wood worker and yoga teacher starting up in Hay on Wye. I have spare bedrooms, a good source of sausages and bacon from the offspring of Lady Emma, my saddleback pig, as well as home-produced honey. We have Downton Abbey/ Highclere Castle on our doorstep and a host of things to do, as well as great walks and cycle rides. Unfortunately, Newbury has been in the news recently for the wrong reasons, with two cases of local brothels been busted by the police, including one run by a riding instructress. And in early November a young Hungerford boy was in court for unusual sexual practices. It’s not really things the local tourist board like to promote as an image!

...for leading sales consignor Ted Voute, who voices his opinion on all things bloodstock and sales-related

he Keeneland November Sale and the Fasig-Tipton boutique sale sold 38 individual million-dollar mares or fillies in or out of training. Many were bought by completely separate entities, which reveals the strength of the US domestic market, a fact backed up by a rise of 59 per cent in the median at Keeneland. There is a depth to their market and the demand for the breeding game is high. Trying to set up farms for people on the back of this tide is scary – this year, good-looking Group 2 winners, made from $750,000 to over a million. In 2010 and 2009, we were buying the same type for $400,000. Will this strength transfer to Europe? Given that the Qatari royal family, in all its different identities, are setting up stud farms and they need high-end stock to fill them, quite likely. Furthermore, many yearling vendors and pinhookers fared well or well enough this autumn to look to restock with mares and foals. By the time you read this the Paulin dispersal will certainly have set the scene early – and the highest concentration of million-euro bloodstock will have been concentrated for sale at Goffs. This should be good for Tattersalls and Arqana too, who have enough quality at the top end to satisfy the demand. The bread-and-butter stock for those who make a living out of buying and selling looks attractive also, with good numbers of black-type pedigrees and good families at all the sales. In recent years the supply of these mares drops off after the Tattersalls Tuesday, and Wednesday has become a weaker day too. Thursday has now become a very difficult day, maybe because it is no longer the last decent sale of the year and many unfilled orders go across the Channel to Arqana to find another invigorated catalogue at a higher standard than in the past. What does stay constant, though, is that the ones I want are always more expensive than I anticipate! The yearling sales next year begin with the dam’s name “R”, and for those buying mares, it will be “W” when you come to sell the produce in 2015. Every year Tattersalls’ directors suffer from the mountains of advice on how to run their yearling sales better than they do currently, but I have come to the conclusion that the breeders and vendors, in general, have the ability to change much of the format themselves. Tattersalls facilitate us by accepting yearlings to Book 1 in the spring of each year; slowly, over the past five years we, as vendors, have become shy of the select sale because the strength is with the top ten-sired yearlings. It means the numbers are steadily dropping and the sale is moving back in the direction of the old Houghton Sale. We can change that by selling in Book 1 horses accepted to the sale, instead of going to Book 2, which has become the “safe sale” . This has ended up pushing Book 2 numbers to four days, when, in fact, it is “happiest” over three days. This is probably due to the 800 or so boxes that are available without double boxing. So the real question is Book 3, in which nobody really wants to sell. Everybody is tired by then, and next year’s Future Champions Day and racing at Newmarket have made it harder to position a large Book 2 and Book 3. Although fillies sold better this year, the market was manipulated to produce this result as Tattersalls catalogued or offered places to less fillies in Book 2. It meant that the ones sold met a better supply and demand ratio, hence the rise in fillies’ average and median. As one last observation I still find it difficult to understand the power of the racecourses in our business as compared to the venues for sports such as football, F1 or cricket. The media rights in those cases goes not to the stadium, racetrack or cricket ground, but to the teams and players involved. So why is it that in racing, the media rights cash goes to the racecourses and not the owners?

At work: Chris Richardson with Cheveley Park owners Patricia and David Thompson at Tattersalls

uch has been said in recent years of the difficulty faced by private studs in securing stallions in a competitive market often dominated by the bottomless pockets of Middle Eastern money. Cheveley Park Stud has consistently bucked that trend, however, often by shrewdly buying into stallion prospects during their racing careers and then supporting them with the stud’s own high-class broodmare band upon their retirement to the historic 1,000-acre Newmarket stud. The stud welcomes two new stallions for 2014, the Prix du Jockey-Club victor Intello and the July Cup winner Lethal Force. Since the stud was purchased by David and Patricia Thompson in the 1970s, it has

www.internationalthoroughbred.net

become synonymous with speedy stallions, headed, of course, in recent years by the top-class Nunthorpe Stakes winner Pivotal, a homebred son of the stud’s former resident Polar Falcon and a producer of 26 Group 1 winners. In this, Intello is a departure from the norm for Cheveley Park Stud, being a German-bred, Irish-sired and French-trained outstanding middle-distance performer, by the perennial champion and Classicwinning sire Galileo. Out of the Classic-placed Danehill mare Impressionnante, Intello hails from the outstanding family of Fall Aspen, a line littered with stallion successes, names including Dubai Millennium and Elnadim. Intello’s arrival also breaks new ground for the stud, which is standing him on behalf of the Wertheimers in a deal which will see the

young sire stand for two years at Cheveley Park Stud before moving to Haras du Quesnay for two years. “It is a bit of a diplomatic Anglo-French promotion!” smiles Cheveley Park Stud’s managing director Chris Richardson. “We had been following the horse for most of the year, trying to buy him or at least buy into him. The owners were adamant that they didn’t want to sell any part of him so we suggested that they might wish to stand him at Cheveley Park Stud, which they found attractive. They also wanted to show commitment to supporting French breeders and we were lucky enough to be able to put together a deal that they liked. “Intello is the most gorgeous-looking horse; he has the balance, profile and quality of his sire himself. The page is phenomenal – there aren’t many stallions with that sort of pedigree who have retired in recent years – and he is the most beautifully balanced, correct horse with speed.” Bred and owned by Alain and Gerard Wertheimer, Intello won two starts as a juvenile in France before making his seasonal debut this year at Newmarket, where he was the easy winner of the Feilden Stakes (L). An unlucky third in the Poule d’Essai des Poulains (G1), André Fabre’s charge was an impressive winner of the Prix du Jockey-Club (G1) in June. He added two Group 3 victories to his tally and was a good third to Moonlight Cloud in the Prix Jacques Les Marois (G1).On his final career start he lost nothing in defeat when filling the same place behind Treve in the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe (G1). At the other end of the stamina scale to Intello is Cheveley Park’s other new recruit for 2014, Lethal Force, who becomes the first son of Dark Angel to take up stud duties. Famously purchased for just €8,500 at the Tattersalls Ireland September Yearling Sale, Lethal Force developed into a top-class sprinter in the hands of trainer Clive Cox. Having landed the Hungerford Stakes (G2) as a three-year-old, he blasted to the top of the sprinter ranks at four when triumphing in the Diamond Jubilee (G1) at Royal Ascot before following up in the July Cup (G1), smashing the track record at Newmarket in the process. “We are delighted to have acquired 100 per cent of Lethal Force. We were very impressed by his win at Royal Ascot and then his record-breaking performance at Newmarket,” says Richardson. “He is also a very useful outcross for us, particularly with the number of mares we

cheveley park stud have by Pivotal, Kyllachy and Polar Falcon. “We have a bit of a reputation for making stallions,” he adds. “People ask me how we do it and I say it’s through a combination of the support that we get from our loyal breeders, the stallions we stand and how we manage them. And the support of the stud’s broodmare band does make a significant difference as well.” Lethal Force is the second July Cup winner to arrive at Cheveley Park Stud in as many

years, following in the footsteps of the 2012 winner Mayson, who covered 90 mares this year. “I think Mayson’s attraction is that Lawman, a son of Invincible Spirit, has been doing so well as a stallion, and this year Mayson was the only stallion by Invincible Spirit standing in Britain,” says Richardson. “I looked after Nureyev as a stallion man in 1981 so I have a long affiliation with Nureyev and his sons, and Mayson, who is out of a

cheveley park stud Pivotal mare, is very similar to Pivotal, with an intelligent, almost quite cheeky way of carrying himself. He also had tremendous speed – to win the Abernant, Palace House and then the July Cup by 5l takes some doing.” Cheveley Park bought into Mayson during his racing career, campaigning him in partnership with David and Emma Armstrong. It is a link that is continuing now via the Lennox Stakes (G2) winner Garswood and the Group 2-placed juveniles Rufford and Parbold, all of whom could potentially retire to Cheveley Park in the future. The newcomers join a hugely successful line-up of Group 1-producing stallions, including Pivotal’s son Kyllachy, Medicean and his son Dutch Art, the latter of whom has quickly made a huge impact with his first crops.

Although both Pivotal and Medicean were bred and raced by Cheveley Park, the stud’s policy of selling all its homebred colts means the chance of breeding and retaining a homebred stallion prospect are now slim. “We started off by offering all the colts and racing the fillies, but the policy changed slightly after we sold Entrepreneur [the 2004

support breeders by buying their yearlings, but we always try to send a good number of top-quality stakes-winning mares to our stallions in the hope they will reflect well at the sales and on the racetrack.” With a world-class stallion roster and a quality broodmare band of around 120, Cheveley Park Stud sits comfortably atop the tree of leading British owners and breeders, with the Thompsons’ support an invaluable boost to the industry. “The success of the stud stems from Mr and Mrs Thompson’s passion for the thoroughbred,” Richardson explains. “They were both involved with racehorses growing up and have very much taken it on as a business. They get as much pleasure out of one of the stallions’ progeny winning a race; if they can’t win it in their colours then the progeny of one of the stallions winning does give them a huge amount of pleasure. “Next year we will have the most horses in training we have ever had – 118 with 13 different trainers. That shows a commitment not only to breeding, but to racing as well,” he continues. “We went to the market this year and I bought 17 fillies – it was a plan to try and support the fillies’ market and also breeders who have supported us. We wanted to get some sharp, early types to offer the Thompsons some earlier two-year-old action. “In the last year or so we have branched out from Newmarket with regard to trainers. David and Patricia Thompson have a huge amount of respect internationally, and everyone wants to be linked to the success that we offer. We are the biggest Britishowned operation and, hopefully, we can keep that steady stream of success.” The Cheveley Park Stud broodmare band includes 42 Group winners or producers, among them 16 Group 1 or 2 winners. Each year around 70 per cent of the group go to the stud’s own stallions, with the remainder visiting other stallions, leading to a constant influx of potential new blood for the future. While the global recession has inevitably led to a streamlining of many aspects of the

Cheveley’s broodmare band numbers 120

breeding industry worldwide, Cheveley Park Stud has continued to thrive. “We try and run it all as a business and we’ve been very fortunate over the years that the stallions bring in a degree of income, which allows us to run the operation and contribute towards the training,” explains Richardson, adding: “If we are lucky enough to have a horse who is good enough to stand as a stallion then that is part of the investment, and if we can sell two or three horses privately as well, that contributes towards the training fees also. “Last year we sold colts for just over £2 million, so on that basis it does give us a pot which we can then allocate to the purchase of stallions. “We adjusted our stallion fees accordingly [during the recession], but we maintained our number of horses in training to the 80-85 mark. “The sales are remarkably good now, though. Maybe breeders felt it was important to support the industry, and putting money into bloodstock was better than putting it in a bank where 1) it wasn’t earning very much and 2) you weren’t sure it was going to be there the next day. “The industry is remarkably resilient and prize-money is on the increase, which it needed to be. The number of mares being covered has reduced, so the focus is now on quality and there have been fewer stallions retiring to stud. There has been a natural correction, but there will always be a difficulty through the middle and lower market, but at least we do have a market which is progressively on the up.” The Cheveley Park Stud team are looking forward to many more years of success, with a thriving roster of established stallions and exciting new prospects seeking to make their mark in the next few years. With seven stallions standing in 2014, the stud is currently at its maximum, but Richardson is already planning for the future should Garswood or one of his cohorts join the line-up in 2015. “Seven stallions is our maximum at the moment, but we shall have to see what happens next year – there is a feedroom we could convert into a stable!” laughs Richardson. “Mrs Thompson once said to me that she feels she is carrying on a great British tradition in a modern fashion. “If I could sum up what I want us to be, it is a centre of international excellence.”

Nancy Sexton discovers just what a great year it has been for Floors Stud

HEN all is done and dusted, 2013 will go down as one of the more memorable years at the Duke of Roxburghe’s Floors Stud. It was a year when little was done in half measures. In the US, the Floors-bred Laughing staked her claim for this year’s female turf championship with an unbeaten run that included a pair of Grade 1 victories in the Diana Stakes and Flower Bowl Invitational. Closer to home, the regally-bred Cushion, by Galileo out of the stud’s homebred champion Attraction, enhanced her paddock value by gaining black-type, while her two-year-old half-brother, Fountain Of Youth, offered much for the future when fourth in the Windsor Castle Stakes at Royal Ascot. Bonfire, bred in partnership with Highclere Stud, was twice Group-placed and recently sold to Australia. Floors Stud’s reputation as a Classic nursery, which also encompasses champion Attraction and Hong Kong legend Viva Pataca, has deservedly not gone unnoticed. The stud enjoyed one of its best yearling sales seasons ever this autumn, achieving a new high when selling a Montjeu colt out of Attraction for 450,000gns to JS Company and ending Book 1 of the Tattersalls October Sale with an average of 278,333gns.

Meanwhile, the decision to send just one yearling to the DBS Premier Sale paid off handsomely when the colt in question, by Rip Van Winkle, sold for £90,000 to Demi O’Byrne. On the other side of the coin, however, the farm was dealt a blow when losing Attraction’s dam Flirtation foaling this spring. “You have to accept the ups and downs in this business,” says the Duke of Roxburghe, who hopes to replace Flirtation at this winter’s breeding stock sales. “Cushion could go on and get more blacktype. I think the plan is to keep her in training and she should improve next year. Laughing has been a real flag-bearer for us and then there’s Fountain Of Youth. He should be a better horse at three.”

Jocelyn Hambro cleverly bought one of the foals back and gave me half – so I blame him for my interest!

Guy Innes-Ker, the 10th Duke of Roxburghe, inherited Floors Castle upon the death of his father, George Innes-Ker, in 1974. Situated near Kelso on the Scottish borders, the castle, built in 1721, nestles in a 50,000-acre estate that also contains a hotel, championship golf course, two grouse moors and 45 tenanted farms. The stud itself covers 132 acres and currently boasts 17 mares. Heading the small team of staff is stud manager David Trouton and second man Peter Henderson. “All credit to the team the way the yearlings were turned out,” says Roxburghe. “Peter has a fantastic memory – rather like trainers who remember families, he remembers our horses; their strengths and quirks.” While the colts are generally all sold as yearlings, several fillies are retained each year to race; Attraction, the ill-conformed filly the stud never attempted to sell, heads a list that has brought the Duke’s silver and green colours to prominence. “My father became involved in breeding racehorses after the war and started the stud in 1948,” says Roxburghe. “He turned some old farm buildings into stables and operated as an owner-breeder. They were mostly staying horses – he owned Sweet Story, who won the [1966] Northumberland Plate, then one of the greatest races in the north. “I had more than a passing interest in racing. I attended the races with my father and read the Sporting Life and Sporting Chronicle. I followed jockeys more than anything else.” When the estate passed to the present Duke, then aged just 19, in 1974, the decision was taken to sell the horses and wind up the stud. But after his mother Elisabeth McConnel married Jocelyn Hambro, owner of Waverton Stud, the old interest was reignited. “Jocelyn Hambro cleverly bought one of the foals back and gave me half – so I blame him for my interest! He was a No Mercy colt called False Witness. He was placed first time out, then won a maiden at the July meeting and that got me hooked. “Thereafter I started to buy one or two of my own mares at a relatively low level. Our old stud groom was still around doing the hunters, so it worked out well.” Today, the longest-serving families at Floors Stud fittingly belong to Eastern Shore and Circus Act, the grand-dams of Attraction and Laughing. Eastern Shore, a placed daughter of Sun Prince, bred four winners for Floors including

Laughing was a beautiful filly when we sold her. Dansili wasn’t the major success story that he is now, but she still made plenty of money the French Listed winner Carmita and Flirtation, in turn dam of Attraction. Another talented filly out of Flirtation, the Grade 3-placed Federation, a 2008 foal by Motivator, is also at the stud as is her winning Montjeu half-sister Titivation. Circus Act, an unraced Shirley Heights daughter of Lowther Stakes winner Circus Ring, was bought as a filly out of training in partnership with the Duke of Devonshire. “She was bought with a view to sell, but we liked her and ended up keeping her,” remembers Roxburghe. That was just as well since Circus Act went on to produce five winners, including Grade 2 scorer Brave Act, whose earnings totalled nearly £1 million, as well as the Listed winner Jellaby Askhir. Her lasting gift to Floors, however, has been as the dam of Comic, a daughter of Be My Chief foaled in 1996. A two-time winner deemed good enough by John Gosden to take her chance in the Ribblesdale Stakes, Comic became the dam of Hong Kong legend Viva Pataca, whose 18 wins included two renewals of the Queen Elizabeth II Cup at Sha Tin, as well as the current Grade 1 winner Laughing. A daughter of Dansili, she was sold as a yearling by Floors for 275,000gns to Charles O’Brien.

oincidentally, Laughing and Federation clashed in last year’s Lady Baltimore Stakes at Laurel Park. Although both were unable to hold off the winner Silver Screamer, they filled the placings with Laughing finishing a neck to the good of her old paddock mate. “Laughing was a beautiful filly when we sold her,” says Roxburghe. “Dansili wasn’t the major success story that he is now, but she still made plenty of money. “I could do with another filly out of Comic. I have a full-sister to Viva Pataca called Blinking, but she’s been almost blind since birth and was never broken. She’s totally blind in one eye and has 50 per cent vision in the other. She’s quite a precious commodity.”

Blinking’s second foal Maracuja, by Medicean, was sixth second time out in a competitive maiden at Newmarket for Mark Johnston. She has been followed by a yearling Azamour filly and Teofilo filly foal. Comic herself had a Dubawi colt this year. While the death of Flirtation aged 19 earlier this year robbed the stud of one of it’s leading mares, Floors is still home to three of her daughters. Another daughter, the placed Cape Cross filly Fusion, is also pencilled in to join the broodmare band. Champion Attraction won the hearts of the racing public a decade ago when racking up an unbeaten sequence of eight wins. After opening her career with lowly wins at Nottingham and Thirsk, the daughter of Efisio was sent out by Mark Johnston to win the Hilary Needler Trophy, the Queen Mary and Cherry Hinton Stakes before returning the following year to capture the 1,000 Guineas on her seasonal debut. Victories in the Irish 1,000 Guineas, the Coronation, the Sun Chariot and Matron Stakes followed and she retired to Floors as the winner of ten races and the best racehorse ever bred in Scotland. While her brave front-running style, typical of so many of Mark Johnston’s, endeared her to racegoers, so too did her ill-conformed legs. They might have made her near impossible to sell, but they certainly did not stop her racing – she was out of the frame only twice in 15 starts. Nor have they ever been inherited by her stock; each of her four foals have won and her three colts to sell at auction have realised a total of 1,070,000gns. “I had 11 fillies in that 2002 crop,” says Roxburghe. “Normally I would only keep one or two, but I didn’t even enter Attraction to the sales because she was so crooked. A lot of the credit in that respect must go to Henry Beeby. He came over to look at some of the yearlings for Doncaster and I showed him this Efisio filly and he said: ‘If anything I would keep her as a breeze-up horse’. Well, we ended up keeping her.

floors stud “None of her family had ever shown any incorrectness. They are a good-looking, correct family, so I think her legs must have been a result of how she was lying in the womb.” Although the dam of four winners from as many foals, Attraction has been blighted by her share of bad luck as both her first two foals, Elation and Devastation, died young after showing above average talent. The Listed-placed Cushion is the third foal out of the mare and was followed by the promising Fountain Of Youth. “She gives her foals a fantastic temperament and her mental strength – they’re all so straightforward,” he says. “And she’s very much queen of the paddock.” Attraction was rested this season after foaling an Oasis Dream colt, a brother to Fountain Of Youth, in May. There are hopes she will visit Frankel in 2014. Mating plans are devised in consultation with long-time advisor John Warren. While the ultimate goal is to produce the best racehorse, all matings are discussed with an eye to the commercial market. The majority of the mares foal in Newmarket or Ireland to eliminate the risk of transporting young foals long distances from the Scottish borders. “We normally go through them all in the autumn, matching mares with the stallions we think will produce the best racehorse, while also fitting commercially,” says Roxburghe. “However, you can be commercial as you want but you’re nothing without the racehorse. “Subject to the confines of the books, we still add to the stud. It’s easy to get stuck in a rut – families do well but then might go a bit quiet; it’s very important to occasionally add new blood.” Recent additions include Quiet Protest, a Kingmambo mare from the famous Brocade family owned in partnership, and Lady Glinka, a sister to Group 2 winner Mikhail Glinka from the immediate family of Sir Percy. They complement a band of established residents that include stakes producers Bedara and Dusty Answer in addition to the Attraction and Comic clans. “It’s a passion, something I get great pleasure out of,” he says. “I get about as much excitement out of watching something I bred win a big race as I do as an owner. Everything about it gives a great sense of satisfaction.” With much again to look forward to in 2014, it is a passion which looks set to only keep rewarding.

They’ve got the Powers A King’s Stand Stakes winner and a British Sprint Champions hero, it’s been some season for David and Sabina Power, writes Donn McClean

Photography by Trevor Jones

unthorpe Stakes day 2010 was just one of those days. You simply don’t go to the Nunthorpe Stakes with a 100/1 shot and expect to go home with the trophy. It had been a rocky road to York that day. Owners David and Sabina Power had always known that Sole Power was good, trainer Eddie Lynam couldn’t get enough of him, and the Nunthorpe had been the plan for a while, but recent events had made them question the merit of making the trip. Beaten at Naas, beaten at The Curragh, beaten at Tipperary: it isn’t the profile of a Nunthorpe Stakes winner. But there had been excuses for those defeats. And go back a little further into his form. He had broken the track record over 5f at Dundalk on his seasonal reappearance, and he had finished fourth in the Palace House Stakes at Newmarket, despite the fact that he

www.internationalthoroughbred.net

did not handle the ridges. He had finished just two and a half lengths behind Equiano, and Equiano was second favourite for the race. Put that with the fact that, as a three-yearold, he had more potential for progression between May and August than his older rivals; it was worth a shot. David met Mike Dillon from Ladbrokes in the parade ring before the Nunthorpe. “Well,” said Mike. “Any tactics?” “We’re keeping it very simple,” said David. “Jump out, track the favourite through the race, then do him for toe inside the final furlong.” He was only half-joking. As David and Sabina watched from the box, a fairytale unfolded on the Knavesmire beneath them. Sole Power travelled easily for Wayne Lordan just behind the fast pace; they couldn’t believe how easily. With two furlongs

to run, David thought, we have a chance of being placed here. A furlong and a half out he thought, we’re going to be placed. As they flashed past the furlong pole, he dared to think that they had a chance of winning. He couldn’t help himself. And as their horse struck the front on the near side deep inside the final furlong, running on strongly and willingly for his rider’s urgings, once he was certain that Starspangledbanner was not closing at all, he thought, we’re going to win. He thinks he said it out loud. Magic.

t all began with Empirical Power in 2002, a Christmas present from David to his wife. Their son Willie – you will often see Willie and David side by side at the races, calling odds from the number one pitch – is a good friend of Eddie Lynam’s, so David asked Lynam if he could get him a horse that might win a few

the powers races. Empirical Power did win a few races; he picked up three on the bounce during the summer of 2004. “Eddie called us after he won those three races to say that he had had an offer for him,” recalls David now, relaxing in his armchair in the drawing room, stacking his pipe. He has more time for stacking his pipe these days, as he stepped down from the board of Paddy Power Bookmakers earlier this year. He still keeps in touch, mind you. You don’t spend a half a lifetime with something and then cut your ties completely. It helps also that son Paddy is deeply involved.

“We said no. We weren’t interested in selling. A few hours later, Eddie called back to say that the offer had been doubled. We still said no. Eddie said we were mad.” David stands up and reaches up to the bookshelf to take down a little hard-backed notebook, with yellowing worn pages carrying horses’ names in neat fading writing with amounts of money written beside them. Richard Power, it says on the front, 1926. The horses David’s grandfather owned and the amounts of money they won in prize-money. “We managed to get my grandfather’s old colours back,” says Power. “His telegraphic

address was Scarlet Stripes, which is probably where the stripes on the sleeves came from. Or maybe the address came from his colours. Either way, we are delighted to have his colours. They have been very lucky for us.” As has the Power suffix. Empirical Power was by Second Empire, hence the Empirical. Once he had won a few races, Lynam thought that they should stick with the Power suffix, that it might be unlucky to change. Lady Power, Papa Power and Invincible Power all followed. Then Sole Power came along. “Eddie bought him at Doncaster,” says

Whatever he can do I can do as well: Slade Power galloping home ahead up the Ascot hill in much the same fashion as Sole Power had done in June

the powers David. “He paid £32,000 for him, and he asked me if I wanted a half-share in him. He said that he thought he could run in the first two-year-old race of the year, and that I shouldn’t be surprised if he won it. That’s the thing about Eddie, he is straight up, he calls it as he sees it. We have a great relationship with Eddie, and we have all our horses with him.” Lynam majors in sprinters. He says that he cannot afford the Galileos of the world and that, often the times when you are trying to buy stamina, you just end up buying slow. As it happened, Sole Power did not win the first two-year-old race of the season. He didn’t even run in it. He did finish third on his debut at The Curragh, however, and he finished second to Arctic in a Listed race on unsuitably soft ground on his second. Of course, even at that, you could never have dreamed that a Nunthorpe Stakes would follow in 2010, or that a King’s Stand Stakes would follow that in 2013. He is a superstar.

“

That’s the thing about Eddie, he is straight up, he calls it as he sees it Girl Power came along in 2006. “Eddie thought a lot of Girl Power,” says David. “She was an expensive yearling, well, expensive for us and for Eddie, by Key Of Luck. Eddie thought so much of her that he actually entered her in the 1,000 Guineas. She never proved to be that good on the racecourse, but she won as a three-year-old and we decided to breed from her.” The decision to send Girl Power to Dutch Art was Lynam’s, and the resultant foal was Slade Power. (The Powers’ youngest daughter Tessa did her Masters in Fine Art at Slade College; a story behind every name.) The little foal had a tough start to life, rejected by his mother, rejected by his first foster mare, but he survived and made it to the racecourse on Irish Guineas weekend in May 2011, when he finished second to the Aidan O’Brien-trained Reply. The plan after that was to run him in the DBS St Leger Yearling Stakes at York in August, the £300,000 race in which Sole Power had finished third in 2009, but a

the powers

the powers setback ruled him out of that. Actually, he did not make it back to the racecourse until that December, when he won his maiden at Dundalk. Slade Power then won three of his first four races as a three-year-old, including a Listed race at Haydock in which he had Lethal Force behind him in third, as well as a Listed race at Fairyhouse, in which he had Gordon Lord Byron behind him in fourth. Lynam was preparing him for a tilt at the Group 1 Haydock Sprint Cup, when another setback ruled him out. “A few weeks before the Haydock race,” says David, “he managed to get out of his section of the horse-walker and into Regal Power’s section. Regal Power apparently didn’t take too kindly to his visitor.” He did get back to the races for the British Champions Sprint Stakes at Ascot that October, but he fractured his pelvis jumping out of the stalls. Only for the excellent work of Simon Knapp at Scott Dunn’s equine veterinary clinic in near-at-hand Wokingham, things could have been a lot worse. Even so, all things considered, last season was a tough one for Slade.

“

After Slade came home from Ascot, he made a point of standing outside Sole’s box, I suppose just to let him know that he was good too! This year has been better. Third in the Group 1 July Cup, second in the Group 1 Sprint Cup and two Group 3 wins. Much better. Then, on his final run of the season, Slade Power went and won the Group 2 British Champions Sprint Stakes at Ascot, a Group 2 race in name, but a Group 1 race in terms of field-quality and race-conditions. “Slade is a completely different character to Sole,” says Sabina Power. “Sole is a lovely horse, he loves being petted, whereas Slade is

tougher. After Slade came home from Ascot, he made a point of standing outside Sole’s box, I suppose just to let him know that he was good too! “Slade’s name in the yard is Billy, when Eddie gets annoyed with him, he calls him William. They get the best of attention and care. Eddie and Aileen love their horses.” As do the Powers. When Lynam thought that Empirical Power had had enough, there was no question about continuing with him as a racehorse, and the Powers’ first horse now lives in happy retirement down in John Cullinane’s. Out in a field, enjoying life, no cares. “We have been so lucky,” says Sabina. “Sole and Slade have taken us to places that we never dreamed of going. The Cartier Awards, Dubai, Hong Kong, Royal Ascot; it has been amazing.” They are off on their travels again now. Hopefully both Sole Power and Slade Power will receive invitations to Hong Kong for the Hong Kong Sprint. After that, all going well, it’s off to Dubai again next spring. Then on to Newmarket, The Curragh, York, Ascot, and so it all rolls around again. Just magic.

older stallions

It takes time...

...for a stallion to become properly established, writes Jocelyn de Moubray

t takes a long time for a stallion to find his level. So much depends upon opportunities, management and luck that it takes up to ten years to be sure, except, of course, for the very few exceptional stallions, who spring unheralded from nowhere and maintain a place in the bright lights for years. These are, of course, very unusual and in Europe, at least, there is only a bolt such as Kendargent once every 20 years or so. For most stallions it takes time. Even Galileo did not become an expensive sire until his sixth season, and that was despite covering hundreds of mares during his first years. Monsun came from more or less nowhere as, although he may have been standing at GestĂźt Schlenderhan, the most famous stud in Germany, he started off covering 30 or 40 mares a year at a fee which was the equivalent of a few thousand euros. Monsun became an expensive stallion from his eighth season. In general terms the more closely you look at the records of stallions, the more you realise that, leaving aside the very bad ones, those who had every chance and lots of mares

It even took super sire Galileo six seasons before Coolmore could give him a fee over â&#x201A;Ź100,000. The price for the son of Sadlerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Wells has been listed as private since 2008

but produced little, and the very good ones, the majority do as well or as badly as the opportunities they are given. If you want to know which stallions are going to do well in Europe in 2014, the first place to look is at the numbers and quality of mares they did or did not cover in 2011 and 2012 (for 2013’s covering stats see page 102; get in touch with us for archived December editions from 2012 and 2011). This is also why it takes time to know the level a stallion is going to attain and why any stallion’s record tends to follow a similar pattern to those of its contemporaries. All attractive stallion prospects tend to cover good books of mares in their first two years at stud, and then fewer and poorer quality in years three and four. In year five those whose first two-year olds impressed get a lift and in year six you see the effect of the first three-year-olds. Looking at the statistics on the whole the record of those sires who went to stud in 2007, 2008 and 2009 is going to get worse before it gets better as their third, fourth and fifth crops come to the races, while those who went to stud just before, or at least those who had early success, should get a big boost over

the next few years. Dubawi covered 68 mares in 2009 at £15,000, when this year’s three-year-olds were conceived. The following season he covered 168 at £20,000, so will have many more three-year-olds to run for him in 2014. If a stallion is going to have a long, profitable career at least two per cent of his foals need to be rated 110 or higher and some 10 per cent of them rated over 95 as threeyear-olds. For the stallion to hit the jackpot and become a top sire, these figures need to be more like three per cent of his foals rated over 110 and 12 per cent over 95.

older stallions The margin between success and failure is small and most unpredictable, and looking at these groups of contemporaries it is more or less the exception that the horse who retired with the highest fee is still on top of his generation by the time year six comes around. Obviously popular stallions cover a lot of mares because the mare owners are prepared to pay, but if you are looking only at the stallion’s long-term reputation mare numbers or the lack of them can go both ways. Many mares gives a horse more chance of getting the very good ones, but can also show up how many bad ones there are around, while few mares can throw up statistical oddities, or, rather, you need a certain sample size for any percentages to be more than just a fluke. It would seem logical that to be an

expensive sire a stallion needs to produce Group 1 winners in one of his first two crops, but then this is not also the case. Dutch Art’s fee has gone from £5,000 to £35,000 in only three years and without a Group 1 winner, while Dalakhani’s fee halved over the three-year period to 2013, despite the fact that there were four Group 1 winners in his first crop. To turn to particular cases and go through the generation in order, next season will be a big year for several of the sires from the class of 2004.

Oasis Dream: the Juddmonte sire might have an exciting bunch of three-year-olds for next season

older stallions

“

At this stage Oasis Dream looks to be well ahead of the others and is set to be ranked behind only Galileo double to £65,000 in 2010, and the progeny of this covering season will be three-year-olds in 2014. Similarly Dalakhani will have a large group of three-year-olds coming off a €50,000 covering fee. At this stage Oasis Dream looks to be well

ahead of the others and is set to be ranked behind only Galileo and his stud companion Dansili among the older sires, but things could still change again – not that Oasis Dream is going to disappear, but one of the others could still jump up again. Clodovil is a example of a horse who has suffered from a lack of numbers (or in his case) fertility problems in his early years. Clodovil consistently gets a high proportion of high-class runners, but has never been able to build the support needed to break through to a higher level.

An outstanding bunch from 2006

The class of 2006 is particularly good and Dubawi looks set for a long career at a six-figure fee; Motivator, Shamardal and

Azamour all have outstanding figures, Big Bad Bob will now get his chance to prove that his success was not just a quirk of small numbers, while both Whipper and Footstepsinthesand are useful sires as well. Motivator is going to have some quiet years as he has no three-year-olds in 2014 and few for the years after, but he was well supported in 2013 at the Haras du Quesnay and will be even more so in 2014. Azamour’s fee is on a downward slide, but he covered 130 and 150 mares in 2010 and 2011 and so will have plenty of runners next season. If he repeats the statistics from his first small crops, he is going to be make a mark. Big Bad Bob’s first reasonably sized crop will be two-year-olds in 2014 and so nobody will be quite sure just how good he is until 2015, but the success from his tiny first crops is undeniable.

Iffraaj and Hurricane on the move up

Iffraaj and Hurricane Run both had excellent groups of two-year-olds in 2013, and in Iffraaj’s case they should be even better in 2014. Note: the figures in the table are only concerned with horses who ran at three and so do not give a true reflection of the success of juvenile sires. Hurricane Run and Cacique will both be popular enough to fill up their limited books, but whereas Hurricane Run will have Ectot and others running for him in 2014, Cacique will not have any three-year-olds to run for him for some years as he did not cover in 2010 and 2011.

Galileo to hold place at the top

To turn finally to the older sires, both Monsun and Montjeu will have their last full crop of two-year-olds in 2014. It is hard to imagine that Monsun will have as good a year in 2014 as he did in 2013 with Group 1 winners all over the world, but it is a strange fact that his progeny have rarely shone with English and Irish trainers, whereas they have flourished in training in Germany, France, Australia and the US. Galileo will take Monsun’s place at the top of this table, despite the huge numbers of progeny he has. The only possible threat to the Coolmore sire’s place at the top in the years to come, other than old age or ill health, is for the time being Dubawi, and then in the not-so-distant future perhaps one of his own sons.

It’s been a good year for Hurricane Run, topped by Ectot’s Group 1 success in the late autumn

Stallion Q and A: Oliver St Lawrence Which stallion would you use if you have...? A young or maiden mare, but did not want to spend more than £ / €10,000 and are looking to sell as a yearling? I like to start with a proven sire (tricky at this price) so at less than a mile I’d suggest Bahamian Bounty (consistent solid sire); over a mile Medicean, he keeps producing a good one. A young or maiden mare, but happy to spend up to £ / €80,000? Staying with proven sires, I’d suggest Acclamation for under a mile (better-bred progeny hitting the track now; good looking genuine sorts) and New Approach over a mile. You have a black-type mare, who’d won over a mile, she’s the best on the farm, and ideally you want to sell the offspring? Invincible Spirit continues to produce the racecourse and sales successes. Your client has a stoutly bred mare, who won over 1m6f. He may want to sell the foal as a yearling, do you look for speed or stamina? I don’t believe in matching sprinters with stayers; I’d look for a miler to keep the sales ring as an option – something like the exciting Mastercraftsman, or interesting Havana Gold for cheaper budgets. You would like to use a first-season sire to produce a commercial sales yearling? I think Declaration Of War for bigger budgets and Lethal Force for medium budgets; Red Jazz and Swiss Spirit are worth a look at the cheaper end.

A stallion for an owner-breeder, who is happy to spend up to £ / €100,000? Dubawi is proven, but does not always produce a pretty sort, but they run like the wind. A filly to retire back to stud by him would be attractive too. Your client has no option but to spend less than £ / €6,000? I think Mount Nelson has shown enough to think he can get a decent runner – Berkshire is very exciting. A good value stallion. You would like to cover a mare with a Frenchbased sire? Motivator has been consistent, though he is a marmite stallion! Your filly is racing in the US and is to be covered out there? Distorted Humor crosses the Atlantic and has been kind to me. You want a bit of an outcross sire? Dutch Art is a one to consider, though his new fee is pretty steep based on racecourse success alone. You are hoping to get a filly to join a broodmare band in the future? It would have to be Galileo. What would you advise someone when starting up a breeding enterprise? Don’t over-cover your mares, keep the mare numbers tight and be prepared to cull them, be clear in your mind if your objective is to breed winners or breed for the sales ring. Above all, enjoy it because it takes years to see the results. Someone thinks they can use any form of bloodstock investing as a means of “changing their postcode”, what do you tell them to do? After they’ve come out of rehab, talk them through the various levels of risk for different bloodstock disciplines and see what suits their own risk level. Remember, not all postcode changes are desirable!

The son of Danehill Dancer covered his first book off a fee of €20,000 and although that was reduced to €12,500 in 2013, he has received a substantial boost to €35,000 for the 2014 covering season.

Those breeders who covered mares off Mastercraftsman’s 2013 fee must now be feeling pretty pleased with their decision

of both Amazing Maria and Craftsman, sent Mastercraftsman’s earnings soaring over the £600,000 mark. Bred by Ridgecourt Stud, Kingston Hill is out of Audacieuse, a Rainbow Quest mare, while the two Group 3 winners are out of mares descending from Storm Cat in Tale Of The Cat and Forest Wildcat. His tally of 24 individual winners at the time of writing is not as high as some champion first-season sires have managed in recent years, but it is a highly respectable tally, as is his winners-to-runners strike rate of 35 per cent. With his yearlings of 2014 strongly supported – ten made six-figure sums – he looks to be creating himself an upward arc.

Astaire wins the Group 1 Middle Park Stakes, taking sire Intense Focus into new territory

Intense Focus: Group 1 sire

The only other first-crop stallion to enjoy Group 1 success in 2013 was Intense Focus, who has joined Shamardal and Footstepsinthesand as stakes-producing sons of Giant’s Causeway standing in Ireland. His Middle Park (G1) winner Astaire was conceived off a fee of €6,500, which was reduced by €1,000 for 2013. Although Kevin Ryan’s charge, also winner of the Gimcrack Stakes (G2), contributed the most to Intense Focus’s earnings of over £450,000, the Group 3-placed duo Heart Focus and Home School also showcased the talent of their sire, who had sired 18 individual winners at time of writing, and looks great value for money for shrewd breeders. Astaire is out of a Dansili mare, giving strong inbreeding to Danehill (Intense Focus himself is out of a Danehill mare too), while Home School’s dam is a daughter of Galileo and Heart Focus from a Daggers Drawn (Diesis) mare.

More grandsons of Danehill

First-season grandsons of Danehill, including Mastercraftsman, have enjoyed a particularly fruitful season with their first runners. Dandy Man, from the sole crop of the ill-fated champion sprinter Mozart, covered his mares for €4,500 at Ballyhane Stud and

...Champs Elysees made up for lost time in quite dramatic style, eventually siring 12 winners... it is reasonable to expect much more from his progeny in the future has richly rewarded those breeders who supported him. His first yearlings averaged 28,351gns, and he has so far achieved a winner-to-runners strike rate of 39 per cent with 18 winners. His progeny are headed by the Royal Ascot winner Extortionist, victorious in the Windsor Castle Stakes (L), while Parbold was placed three times in Group company. Danetime was another top sprinter who died young at stud and two of his best sons have made their mark with their first runners this year.

Bushranger came in for huge support at both the foal and yearling sales on both sides of the Irish Sea, with his first-crop of yearlings fetching prices of up to 220,000gns – a staggering result off a fee of just €7,500. The dual Group 1 winner had a lofty reputation to live up to, but has managed 16 winners so far this season, with his progeny netting over £200,000 in earnings. A disappointing aspect is the sire’s lack of stakes winners; he can boast a trio of Listed-placed runners, but none that threatened to break their sire’s Group race duck. This lack of stakes race results led to a reduction of sale support for his second crop as compared with his first. In contrast, Bushranger’s paternal halfbrother Myboycharlie can boast of stakes success, but fewer winners. Like Bushranger a winner of the Prix Morny (G1), Myboycharlie covered a far smaller book during his first season at The National Stud and has since been relocated to Haras du Mézeray. Nonetheless, he came in for support at the sales, with his yearlings selling for up to 160,000gns, and his small first crop has yielded eight winners at a strike rate of 25 per cent. They are headed by Salai, a Listed winner in France, although his first southernhemisphere crop has already produced the Group 2 winner Charlie Boy. It would hardly be the greatest shock ever should Champs Elysees turn out to be a sire of note, given that his brother Dansili is among the leading sires in Europe and another brother, Cacique, has also enjoyed Group 1 success from his limited runners. His first fee of £10,000 was halved this year, and the multiple Grade 1 winner made a slow start to the season. However, Champs Elysees made up for lost time in quite dramatic style, eventually siring 12 winners, and given his own slow-maturing middle-distance profile, it is reasonable to expect much more from his progeny in the future. Those runners include Avenue Gabriel, who gave his sire a first stakes success when landing the Flame Of Tara Stakes (L) at The Curragh in September.

Oasis Dream options reduced to two

With Oasis Dream now commanding a fee of £80,000 for 2013, it is hardly surprising that breeders looked to his sons for more affordable value, and that is reflected in a trio of his first-crop sons.

first-season sires

“

As with his great sire, Red Rocks seems to share an affinity with daughters and granddaughters of Danehill The shock death of Aqlaam has robbed breeders of a potentially useful young sire, a fact underlined by his sole stakes winner to date, who gave his sire a posthumous success in the Radley Stakes (L) in late October. Aqlaam Vision, who scored twice, is one of seven winners to date for his sire from just 16 runners, a strike rate of 44 per cent. His winner figure is bettered by Captain Gerrard, who is responsible for 12 individual winners at time of writing. Although none have yet broken through in Pattern company, Captain Gerrard’s runners, conceived at the bargain price of just £3,500, are tough performers who could well show their sire’s improvement with age. Naaqoos, who stands at Mézeray, cannot better his paternal half-brothers yet, but the Group 1 winner has sired five individual winners, including the promising John Quinntrained Gallic Breeze, who did not appear again after winning in August at Chester.

Sea may have a Star to come

A superbly related slow-burner of a sire

is, of course, the great Sea The Stars. As a phenomenally talented half-brother to the perennial champion sire Galileo, great things are hoped of Sea The Stars. Again, it took the sire a while to fire home his first winner, but the autumn saw his winner tally creeping up to nine at a strike-rate of 21 per cent. His fee of €85,000, unchanged since his retirement to stud, demands good returns from his offspring, but it is worth remembering that Galileo himself made a quiet start with his first runners who went on to greater things as three-year-olds. Sea The Stars has at least enjoyed that allimportant first stakes winner in My Titania, who landed the C L Weld Park Stakes (G3).

Only son of Noverre going well

Le Havre, the only son at stud of Champagne Stakes (G2) winner Noverre, a half-brother to champion juvenile Arazi, made a fair start. The sire of seven winners (two more have been gained in Spain) progeny by the JockeyClub winner have earned over £185,000, headlined by the three-time raced and

Sea The Stars’s first Listed winner came courtesy of the Irish 1,000 Guineas and Oaks entry My Titania

unbeaten Listed winner La Hoguette. Trainer Jean-Claude Rouget is harbouring Classic aspirations for her and avoided heavy ground runs in the late autumn.

Two more off the mark for Galileo

Galileo, who has already proved himself a sire of sires of note, had Red Rocks and Soldier Of Fortune represent him as this year’s firstseason sires. As both were top-class middle distance performers who improved with age, they would not have seemed a likely source of juvenile success. Once again the influence of Galileo has broken all the rules. Red Rocks, who stands at Centro Equino Arcadia in Italy, produced no less than 11 individual winners, including the Italian Listed winner Grey Greezely. As with his great sire, Red Rocks seems to share an affinity with daughters and granddaughters of Danehill, with Grey Greezly being another stakes winner bred on that cross. Soldier Of Fortune’s first crop have not shown the same speed with only two individual winners on his score sheet to date in Britain, Ireland and France, although he has also been represented by winners in the Czech Republic, Serbia and Russia.

Amazing stats for Pomellato

Pomellato, the Haras d’Etreham-based son of Big Shuffle, has only had six runners and two winners, but his stats through 2013 have been pretty amazing, due to his colt Another Party. The Matthieu Palussiere-trained juvenile, who is owned by Theresa Marnane (bought by husband Con for €14,000 at the Arqana October Sale 2012), ran nine times this summer, winning twice, finishing in the places four times and picking up the bulk of the sire’s earnings of over £100,000.

Results from few runners

Admiralofthefleet, who stands in India, and Wiesenpfad, a Gestüt Trona stallion, both had just one runner and one winner, while the Thewayyouare, a son of Kingmambo, had his first European crop run having been transferred to Coolmore from Ashford. Represented by just five runners, it included three winners and the promising Jamie Osborne-trained maiden winner Toast Of New York. Osborne subsequently spent 120,000gns on a Thewayyouare colt out of the Cozzene mare Cozzene’s Pride in Book 2. The sire has also had a Listed-placed runner in New Zealand.

second-season sires

Classic Approach

The Darley sire New Approach headlined his second year with runners with two Classic winners

iven that the second-crop sires of 2013 began their stud careers in 2009, the first full year of the global economic crisis, it is perhaps of little surprise that so few of them occupy the rarified air of the upper price bracket. Sitting atop the pile by progeny earnings is the most expensive of them all, New Approach. His stud career began off a fee of £30,000 and was boosted to £50,000 following a spectacular start to his career, headed by the leading juvenile Dawn Approach and, subsequent to the Jim Bolger runner’s three-year-old performances, his fee for 2014 has received another hike to £80,000. Dawn Approach became New Approach’s first Classic winner, scoring in the 2,000 Guineas but he was unable to follow up in the Derby, running himself into the ground after refusing to settle early. New Approach, of course, still got to enjoy

Epsom glory through his daughter Talent, who landed the Oaks from Secret Gesture, herself a daughter of New Approach’s sire Galileo. That Classic-winning pair are just two of New Approach’s tally of seven stakes winners in 2013. Dawn Approach is something of a mouldbreaker, being out of a daughter of the US sire Phone Trick, but New Approach has also shown an affinity with the Shirley Heights line, producing the stakes winners Libertarian and Cap O’Rushes on that cross. Nearly 60 per cent of his winners have come over a mile. Raven’s Pass’s progeny also include a Guineas winner, albeit the UAE 1,000 version, which was won by his daughter Lovely Pass. Along with the Cumberland Lodge Stakes (G3) victor Secret Number, also placed in the Great Voltigeur (G2), that filly helped her sire to earnings of over £1m this year. Henrythenavigator, who like Raven’s Pass,

Dawn Approach wins his early Classic: he is the first son of young sire New Approach retiring to stud

Stallion Q and A: Richard Venn

Which stallion would you use if you have...? A young or maiden mare, but did not want to spend more than £ / €10,000 and are looking to sell as a yearling? Dandy Man has had a great start and his fee is very competitve. A young or maiden mare, but happy to spend up to £ / €80,000? New Approach has made an outstanding start with his first two crops and his yearlings sold well. You have a black-type mare, who’d won over a mile, she’s the best on the farm, and ideally you want to sell the offspring? If the mare was good enough it would have to be Frankel. Your client has a stoutly bred mare, who won over 1m6f. He may want to sell the foal as a yearling, do you look for speed or stamina? I would look for something in the mile bracket. If she were a black-type mare I would use Dubawi or Henrythenavigator. You would like to use a first-season sire to produce commercial sales yearling? I was very impressed with Lethal Force, he has a pedigree that oozes speed and he is a very good looker. A stallion for an owner-breeder, who is happy to spend up to £ / €100,000? Dubawi would be top of the list. Your client has no option but to spend less than £ / €6,000? Champs Elysees enjoyed a good start with his first crop and is tremendous value. You would like to cover a mare with a Frenchbased sire? George Vancouver is a very interesting first-season sire and at €6,000 he is very competitively priced. Your filly is racing in the US and is to be covered out there? War Front gives options for both turf and the All-Weather. You want a bit of an outcross sire? I like Medicean, he is capable of producing a good horse and he shouldn’t be overlooked. You are hoping to get a filly to join a broodmare band in the future? It would have to be Galileo. What would you advise someone when starting up a breeding enterprise? Try not to take too many risks, aim to produce what the buyers want and make a study of what the successful breeders have done before. Get advice from a bloodstock agent and also have a good look at the French system. Someone thinks they can use any form of bloodstock investing as a means of “changing their postcode”, what do you tell them to do? Speak to your accountant and think again!

second-season sires

“

Duke Of Marmalade’s final tally of nine stakes winners was two more than any other second-crop sire in Europe, while he also sired the most individual winners commanded a fee of €30,000 in 2013, also managed a brace of stakes winners this year. The son of Kingmambo sired two Group/ Grade 1 winners in his first crop, including Pedro The Great who won the Phoenix Stakes (G1) and Henrythenavigator repeated the Phoenix Stakes feat in year two, courtesy of Sudirman. He appears to be developing into a sire of sprinters – 52 per cent of his winners have been over 5f to 6f, while 42 per cent have won over 7f to a mile. Maybe it was just a twist of fate, but it is notable that none of the sire’s young stars of last year showed anything this year, and the stats seem to bear this out – 54 per cent of his lifetime juveniles are winners, while of his three-year-olds this drops to 46 per cent. His juveniles of this year were once again another crop of speedy and talented juvenile individuals, including the Listed winner Zhityi, and the stakes-placed runners Amerigo Vespucci and Sir John Hawkins. It remains to be seen how those runners progress next year as three-year-olds.

The £10,000-£20,000 bracket

Duke Of Marmalade stood for just €12,500 this year, having begun his career at the loftier height of €40,000. His 2013 fee began to look even better value for money as stakes winner followed stakes winner. The Duke’s final tally of nine stakes winners was two more than any other second-crop sire in Europe, while he also sired the most individual winners – 45 at time of writing. The son of Danehill enjoyed his best result with Venus De Milo, a Group 3 winner and runner-up in the Irish Oaks (G1), while Quaduna was a late addition to his Group tally, winning the Premio Verziere (G3) in October. The reverse of the magic cross of Galileo Danehill produced both Venus De Milo and the German Listed scorer Guinnevre, while a cross with the Shirley Heights line also produced a brace of stakes winners. For a horse the “commercial” world had

www.internationalthoroughbred.net

started to write off, it will be interesting to monitor his progress. The majority of his winners have come over distances between a mile and 1m2f, while he has achieved a lifetime of 22 per cent two-year-old winners compared to 77 per cent winners-to-runners from his three-year-olds. Tamayuz has remained at a consistent fee of €15,000, and his 2013 tally of four stakes winners marks him a solid choice for breeders. Tamayuz only ever ran over a mile, and his own sire Nayef was a top 1m2f performer, but Tamayuz’s progeny seem to be producing a sharp turn of foot as well. Brown Sugar, his leading runner in 2013 is an excellent example – he landed two Group 3s over 5-6f, while the Listed winner Ighraa scored over over 9f.

The £6,000-£10,000 band

Progeny of Mount Nelson earned the most

for stakes-producing sires standing at under £10,000 in 2013, netting over £560,000. The son of Rock Of Gibraltar commanded an advertised fee of only £6,000 in 2013, but his offspring included the hugely impressive Berkshire, whose light juvenile campaign included wins in both the Royal Lodge (G2) and the Chesham (L) at Royal Ascot. The Paul Cole-trained runner could be a real standard-bearer for his sire in 2014, particularly as Mount Nelson himself showed improvement with age. He has 62 per cent three-year-old winners compared with his 38 per cent juvenile winners-to-runners. Mount Nelson’s other stakes winner was the Listed scorer Ninjago, a daughter of a Mountain Cat mare as was his talented firstcrop Group 3 winner Purr Along, a one-time Classic hope herself. Pivotal himself enjoyed another great season, led by the Group 1 scorer Farrh, and his young sire son Falco also recorded a good strike rate of 34 per cent winners-to-runners. Standing at Haras d’Etreham for €7,500, the Poule d’Essai des Poulains victor may not have set the world alight yet, but managed a pair of Listed scorers this season. Sixties Icon made a great start to his stud career last year, with his good strike-rate earning him a boost from his initial stud fee of £6,000 to £8,500 in 2013.

Could the Royal Lodge winner Berkshire be a first Classic horse for Newsells’ Mount Nelson in 2014?

second-season sires The St Leger-winning son of Galileo only added one more stakes winner to his tally this year, the Listed-winning first-crop filly Cruck Realta, but Sixties Icon did not attract the cream of the crop in his early stud years and will have suffered in year two, so it will be interesting to see what he can do in future with the better books he will have recevied from this year onwards. His results on the racecourse really seem to be throwing the rules book out of the window though – 52 per cent of his winners have come over 5f to 6f, 24 per cent over 7f to a mile, while over longer trips that decreases to just nine per cent. Sixities Icon is also developing into a strong juvenile sire – 73 per cent of his two-year-old runners are winners. One of last year’s numerical leading first-season sires was Sakhee’s Secret, and the son of Sakhee kept his momentum going in 2013, recording 30 individual winners at the time of writing. Although undoubtedly an excellent source of winners, Sakhee’s Secret has, however, managed only one stakes performer in the northern hemisphere, the Woodcote Stakes (L) victor Thunder Strike.

The £5,000 category and below

For much of the season, the Dansili stallion Thousand Words appeared a reasonable sire of winners from a bargain basement fee of €2,500, but little more. All that changed in the autumn, however, when Brian Ellison supplemented Top Notch Tonto for the Qipco Queen Elizabeth II Stakes (G1) and Thousand Word’s son found only Olympic Glory too good. That run, coupled with the same horse’s win in the Superior Mile (G3), took Top Top Notch Tonto: was 18th on the leading UK earners’ list and is becoming a star; he even has a Facebook page

“

Sixities Icon is also developing into a strong juvenile sire: 73 per cent of his two-year-old runners are winners Notch Tonto’s earnings of over £300,000 and is the reason behind Thousand Words’ high position in the list of second-season sires. As he has produced a runner of such note so early in his career there is no reason why he should not do so again. Thousand Words is a sire to keep an eye on.

Stallion Q and A: Cathy Grassick

Which stallion would you use if you have...? A young or maiden mare, but did not want to spend more than £ / €10,000 and are looking to sell as a yearling? Kodiac, Bahamian Bounty or Footstepsinthesand for proven sires; Equiano or Approve for sires with first runners this year. A young or maiden mare, but happy to spend up to £ / €80,000? Teofilo for middle-distance, Acclamation for speed and Dutch Art for a commercial return. You have a black-type mare, who’d won over a mile, she’s the best on the farm, and ideally you want to sell the offspring? Invincible Spirit and Oasis Dream offer you speed and excellent commercial return. If you want to produce something stouter, then Galileo and Dansili are ideal choices. Your client has a stoutly bred mare, who won over 1m6f. He may want to sell the foal as a yearling, do you look for speed or stamina? It would be a good idea to introduce speed to such a mare, but not too much! A miler would be ideal, sires such as Cape Cross, Clodovil or Mastercraftsman inject speed and precocity. You would like to use a first-season sire to produce a commercial sales yearling? Of the horses retiring to stud this year I have been most impressed by Dawn Approach, Camelot and Al Kazeem. A stallion for an owner-breeder, who is happy to spend up to £ / €100,000? This is a difficult question to answer as you are spoilt for choice, but if you are breeding to race and, especially if you might be keeping the fillies to breed from, then I would look at Shamardal, New Approach, Dubawi or Dansili.

Haatef began his career at a fee of €6,500, which was reduced to €3,000 in 2013. His runners outperformed that price tag however, headed by the Acomb Stakes (G3) winner Treaty Of Paris and the Listed juvenile winner Sacred Aspect. They are appearing to be predominately sprinters to milers.

Your client has no option but to spend less than £ / €6,000? Big Bad Bob or Sir Percy are great value and are proven. If you are looking for a young stallion then Casamento is a very interesting type. You would like to cover a mare with a French-based sire? Motivator or American Post for proven sires, and Style Vendome for a first-season sire. Your filly is racing in the US and is to be covered out there? Elusive Quality or Giant’s Causeway would be my picks for horses with proven track records both in the sales ring and on the track. A young horse to watch would be Cape Blanco. You want a bit of an outcross sire? The Royal Applause line of sires gives you a wonderful selection of outcrosses for Northern Dancer, which includes his son Acclamation and grandsons Equiano, Dark Angel, Lilbourne Lad and Harbour Watch. Another horse, which is an interesting import from the US, is Leroidesanimaux, who, as a close-relation to Dansili, Champs Elysees and Cacique, offers breeders an ideal cross for Danehill. You are hoping to get a filly to join a broodmare band in the future? There are a number of stallions who are producing top-class fillies both on the track and in the breeding shed and my top selections are Galileo, Oasis Dream, Pivotal and Invincible Spirit. What would you advise someone when starting up a breeding enterprise? Buy the best quality of broodmare that you can afford and use commercial stallions. Don’t be in a rush to get too big too quickly. Start small with the best quality stock you can afford and then use your income to grow the broodmare band. Don’t be afraid to get a professional advice regarding matings or purchasing – having a sounding board for ideas or an outsider’s perspective can be a great benefit. Someone thinks they can use any form of bloodstock investing as a means of “changing their postcode”, what do you tell them to do? Get a good bloodstock agent to advise you!

...were the figures so good?

he European bloodstock world has been feeling good about itself for most of 2013, and it appears obvious that the bloodstock recession is safely in the past and, thanks above all to arrival of the Al Thani family, future prospects look to be very good. If there is an image of the year it was of Sheikh Joaan, laughing and smiling, holding his dark glasses in one hand, giving interviews outside the Tattersalls sale ring after his purchase of the five million guineas Galileo filly out of Alluring Park sold by Lodge Park Stud. In the background stood Sheikh Mohammed and his entourage, watching with an almost surprised regard to this new addition to the Newmarket sales ritual, which had been more or less unchanged for such a long time.

As always it is impossible to give completely accurate figures for how much each of the main participants spent in the European yearling market, but an informed guess would put the Al Thani family’s spend at this year’s sales somewhere around 26 million guineas. The Maktoum family remain the biggest players having spent about 30 million guineas, in their case overwhelmingly concentrated in England with more than 75 per cent of the family’s spending taking place in Newmarket. Darley plays a large role at the BBAG’s September Sale in Baden-Baden, and was not even represented at Arqana’s October sale. The Al Thani family played almost no role in Germany, but different members of the family were active at all the French sales, as well as at Goffs. The Coolmore group signed for about 14

million guineas worth of yearlings, 90 per cent of this spending coming in either England or Ireland. The three major groups between them spent around 70 million guineas, or 35 per cent of the year’s aggregate.

Al Thani change

There can be no doubt at all the arrival of the Al Thanis has transformed the very top of the market. However, if you look a little more carefully at the figures although the European market has come a long way over the last three years since 2010, which now appears to have been the bottom point of the cycle, it still has a long way to go before reaching the peak of 2007. If you look at the statistics in sterling, this would seem to be a particularly negative point

yearling sale review

â&#x20AC;&#x153;

The trends in the bloodstock market have been obscured by the significant fall in the value of sterling of view, however, one thing for sure is that few of the buyers at the Tattersalls October Book 1 are really looking at the prices in sterling. Again, it is difficult to divide up the players by nationality, let alone by currency, but the domestic sterling share of the October 1 sale is surely less than 25 per cent of the total. One thing everybody agrees upon is that the bloodstock market is more international than ever, and in an international market currency values play a large role. Above, the record-breaking filly (Galileo ex Alluring Park) sold by Lodge Park Stud for five millon guineas, below, the DBS Premier Sale top lot was a Lawman colt out of Zunigaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Date. He was consigned by Owenstown Stud and made ÂŁ215,000, bought by Amanda Skiffington

Sterling fall masks change

The trends in the bloodstock market have been obscured by the significant fall in the value of sterling against most other international currencies, including US dollars and the euro. During 2008 sterling lost 20 per cent of its value against the US dollar and the euro, and proceeded to fall even further in 2009 and 2010. It has recovered somewhat since, but it is still 20 per cent below its pre-crash level. This has a big affect on the bloodstock market as Tattersalls has maintained its hold on somewhere between 50 per cent and 60 per cent of the European yearling market. The second important factor to bear in mind when looking at the figures is that, very logically, when the demand was not there all of the major sales companies reduced the size of their better catalogues, in the hope of maintaining a larger share of their earlier value. Or to put it simply the best yearlings may appear to be worth as much as they were six years ago, but to a degree this is an illusion as they are priced in a currency which has lost its international value and there are fewer of the best yearlings than there were back in 2007.

yearling sale review Markets still below 2007

If you look at Tattersalls October 1 and 2, Arqana August and the Goffs Orby/Million sales in real dollars, that is dollars adjusted to take inflation, or, in Irelandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s case deflation, into account, the major yearling sales in Europe were in 2013 still 23 per cent below the 2007 level in aggregate and 21 per cent down in average. The nature of the bloodstock market is such that there is no reason why it should follow any earlier pattern or cycle. The only constant in the market is, if you look at it over the long term, its essentially erratic nature. This does, however, suggest that prices can continue to rise for a few years yet before they reach, as they surely will at some future date, an unrealistically high level. Trade at the breeding stock sales is going to be very strong and it is worth noting the foal market has a long way to go to reach similar prices to those set in 2007.

Tattersalls Book 1 and 2: the decider

Tattersalls October 1 and 2 is the most important yearling sale in Europe, and it has been aided by the weakness of sterling, and by the fact that it is where the Maktoum family and Coolmore like to make most of their purchases in Newmarket. It is the results at October 1 and 2 which 13:43 Page 2 determine stallion prices in England and

Ireland. October 1 is dominated by proven sires and, with the possible exception of Oasis Dream, by those likely to get middle-distance three-year-olds. Galileoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s average of over 600,000gns has ensured his fee will remain high for 2014, while he was followed in average price by Oasis Dream, Dubawi, Sea The Stars and Dansili. The two leading sires without runners in October 1 were Lope De Vega and Rip Van Winkle, although this order was reversed

yearling sale review once the results of October Book 2 is added to their figures as well.

For the future, if and when sterling recovers, Tattersalls will certainly lose a small amount to the euro markets, but for yearlings, at

least, there is no threat to its leading position, particularly as the British economy is on a different cycle altogether to the euro zone.

Successful Goffs Orby

The Goffs Orby sale was a notable success and despite the strength of the euro it attracted a large number of non-euro zone buyers. In real terms the sale was up 64 per cent from its worst year of 2010 and, even if the success came partly as a result of restricting

supply, this helped to attract the Al Thanis, US and Japanese buyers as well. Like all the euro sales, Goffs would certainly benefit from a stronger pound as the most accessible foreign buyers in both Ireland and France are those buying in sterling. Arqana reduced numbers at its August Sale again and introduced a new Part 2 to the sale and was rewarded with a strong first two days. For the immediate future Arqana is handicapped by a lack of domestic demand, the French economy could not be more morose, while the frantic hunt for fiscal fraud hardly encourages investment in racehorses. One of the most successful sales of the year was the BBAG September Sale at Baden-Baden, which is now close to its 2007 level in real terms with demand boosted by new buyers from the US, Australia and Japan. The international success of German breds has attracted buyers from far afield, even if there were very few English and Irish.

Market higher in 2016?

Those breeders contemplating matings for 2014 can be reasonably confident that the market will be higher still in 2016, when they come to sell the products of these matings, than it was in 2013. It is likely that stallion prices will rise significantly in 2015 and so this could be the moment for commercial breeders to make a profit. However, the European market is still fragile. Success at the highest level for commercial breeders is very difficult to achieve as it depends upon three principals groups of buyers, two of whom more or less only buy horses by their own sires. At the top of the market in England, Ireland and France there are few potential buyers and it is rare for a vendor to have three or four active bidders on any lot over the reserve. Similarly, there were some excellent results for pinhookers in 2013, but for them it is also a very tricky market. The foal sales are far more competitive than the yearling sales, which means that foals by popular sires tend to be too expensive to resell at a profit. Some foal buyers will make great profits in 2014 and some commercial breeders will do well at the 2016 yearling sales, but neither path offers an easy way to make money. There will be plenty who get it wrong and arrive at the sales with the product of the wrong sire, or having paid too much to get the right product.

Figures from the-racehorse.com

For those of you looking to produce stock for the commercial yearling market, it is important to be aware of trends – to try and make a decent profit at the sales, you need to hit on those sires who might fit into the “up and coming” bracket, getting you ahead of the game so that when you come to sell you might be able to capitalise on rising demand. And, of course, there is fashion – some sires hit it and it is interesting to take a good look at those who appear to be on the “up” at the sales and those whom buyers seem to be turning away from. Of course, a little new black-type or racecourse success might change everything in a few months next summer (Motivator being a prime example from 2013), but we hope these figures will be useful and interesting, especially if you ally them with events that may have taken place on the racecourse through the five-year slot. It is also important to know at just what point a stallion, particularly a young sire is, in his early years at stud, i.e. stock by second and third-crop sires find it tough at the yearling sales We hope, that by using these figures, the stallion yearling and median figures (page 93-98) alongside the covering statistics (pages 102-103) issued by Weatherbys, the leading stallion tables charting progeny performances, split by fee on pages 62-64 and the overall tables at the back of this publication, we are arming you with all the information you need to make the best choices for your mares.

yearling median and average

Yearling sales by stallion median Listed by median and including those sires with five or more yearlings sold at European yearling sales in 2013

From Weatherbys

The 2011 covering fee in own currency is included for comparison with the sire’s median, i.e. if the median is less than the covering fee, then over half of that sire’s stock was not profitable against his nomination (without accounting for livery costs). For example, if you look at the record for Samum, his median was 14,711gns against a covering fee of €15,000, meaning that half of his sales’ crop of 13 made 14,711gns or less and did not cover their fee. The stats for a stallion such as Exceed And Excel are quite the reverse – a median of 54,500gns against at fee of £12,000 for 70 sold. Most yearlings were very profitable and took advantage of the sire’s rapid upturn of fortunes between covering year and sale. There is also plenty of room for profit even against his new fee of £35,000. For an established sire such as Pivotal, it is a much finer margin between making a decent profit (top sale was 320,000gns and a top 15 sire by median): 13 yearlings from the 26 lots made less than his 66,000gns median off a covering fee of £55,000, while 13 were in profit, some of which was substantial. His new fee of £45,000 looks a sensible proposition.

A purr-fectly brilliant year Nancy Sexton picks out the US stallions who have made an impact through 2013, headed by Kitten’s Joy, the sire of five Grade 1 winners

EN and Sarah Ramsey were well aware of the task that faced them when they retired their champion Kitten’s Joy to stand at their Ramsey Farm in Kentucky in 2006. Launching the stud career of any stallion can be challenging, but, in a world where Dirt racing governs, developing that of a turf runner can be even more so. Kitten’s Joy, a turf champion who is a grandson of Sadler’s Wells, may have covered 127 mares at an advertised fee of $25,000 in his first year but

the vast majority were owned by the Ramseys, as they were in the seasons that followed. Such belief, however, has reaped spectacular results for his owners. So far, the pair have bred and/or campaigned 40 of the stallion’s 42 stakes winners, including all of his five Grade 1 winners. While his progeny primarily excel on turf, he is also responsible for stakes winners on Dirt and Polytrack. This was the year that the son of El Prado really came of age. Represented by the Just A Game Stakes heroine Stephanie’s Kitten in June, matters culminated one Saturday

Kitten’s certainly brought Joy to owners and main supporters Ken and Sarah Ramsey through 2013

in mid-August when Big Blue Kitten and Admiral Kitten swept the Sword Dancer Invitational Stakes and Secretariat Stakes, and Real Solution won the Arlington Million on the disqualification of The Mogok. Further Grade 1 success was to come when Kitten’s Dumplings took the Queen Elizabeth II Challenge Cup at Keeneland in October. As the season drew to a close, Kitten’s Joy held a narrow lead over Speightstown at the head of the leading general American sire’s list. Should he land his first championship, it will be down to the belief of his owners, who in turn are overwhelmingly the leading American owners’ list having campaigned the winners of nearly $11.5 million in prize-money this season. Kitten’s Joy’s development into a top flight stallion is also a further feather in the cap to the stud record of El Prado, the champion sire of 2002 who has since excelled as a sire of sires. An early indication arrived in 2008 through the first runners by Medaglia D’Oro. More of an influence for Dirt than Kitten’s Joy, he sired four Grade 1 winners in his first crop, including champion Rachel Alexandra. He enjoyed another prominent year in 2013 when his 16 stakes winners were highlighted by Marketing Mix, successful in the Gamely Stakes at Hollywood Park. While Kitten’s Joy and Medaglia D’Oro will both stand for $100,000 next year, at the lower end of the fee spectrum is another son of El Prado currently coming off a good season, Artie Schiller. The WinStar resident, whose fee has risen to $15,000 for 2014, sired his first Grade 1 winner when My Conquestadory took the Alcibiades Stakes at Keeneland in October and added to that tally just 24 hours later when We Miss Artie, a rare Ramsey runner not sired by Kitten’s Joy, landed the Breeders’ Futurity. Thus between them, sons of El Prado

us stallions accounted for eight Grade 1 winners in 2013, something which should engender confidence in the other branches of the Sadler’s Wells line, such as Galileo’s son Cape Blanco, that are currently available to US breeders. While we should be hearing plenty more of Kitten’s Joy in Europe, one name that needs no introduction is Claiborne Farm’s War Front, seemingly the last great son of Danzig at stud. His ascendancy into one of the world’s leading stallions has been swift; a Grade 2 winner himself, he retired to stud at a fee of $12,500 and, although represented by no more than 90 foals in a crop in his first four years, he has sired 15 Group or Graded stakes winners on a variety of surfaces.

Of War and War Command brought him to attention in Europe, but closer to home there appears to be yet another Grade 1 winner in waiting in Departing, the wide margin winner of the Super Derby and West Virginia Derby. Commercially, no US stallion was hotter. War Front supplied the $2.5 million Keeneland September top lot, a colt out of Blading Gold Ring sold to Coolmore, as well as foals that led the Keeneland November Sale at $800,000 and $750,000. Consequently, he will be America’s joint-most expensive stallion alongside Gainesway’s Tapit next year at $150,000. Another stallion on the rise is Spendthrift Farm’s Malibu Moon, set to stand for $95,000 in 2014. The son of A.P. Indy has had to gain notoriety the hard way; a two-race

Malibu Moon aside, the influence exerted by A.P. Indy and his sons continues to be immense and in 2013, the sire line accounted for six Grade 1 winners career restricted him to an early stud fee of $3,000 in Maryland, but after his ability to upgrade his mares became apparent, a transfer to Kentucky followed and today his tally of stakes winners stands at 70. Five were recorded in 2013, topped by the Kentucky Derby hero Orb and Coolmore’s Corfu, who justified his $675,000 two-year-old in training price tag by winning the Saratoga Special Stakes. Such was the authority with which Orb denied Golden Soul and Revolutionary at Churchill Downs that he appeared one of the more likely Derby winners of recent years to sweep the Triple Crown. However, although the Phipps Stable and Stuart Janney homebred turned in creditable efforts in both legs, he came up short, running fourth to Oxbow in the Preakness and third to Palace Malice in the Belmont. In fact, Orb failed to add to his record in four subsequent starts and was later retired to stand at his birthplace, Claiborne Farm.

alibu Moon aside, the influence exerted by A.P. Indy and his sons continues to be immense and in 2013 the sire line accounted for six Grade 1 winners. These included the Woodward Stakes scorer Alpha, one of two Graded stakes winners of the year for Bernardini, top three-year-old filly Princess Of Sylmar, from the first crop of Majestic Warrior, and Frontrunner Stakes winner Bond Holder, a fourth Grade 1 winner for Mineshaft. Full Mandate, an exported son of A.P. Indy, was once again represented at the top level by

Ron The Greek, runaway winner of the Jockey Club Gold Cup. Pulpit’s son Tapit, meanwhile, fired in three Graded stakes winners – Flashback, Honorable Dillon and Tapicat – during one afternoon in February, a record which was complemented a month later by the success of Joyful Victory in the Santa Margarita Invitational Handicap. It is reasonable to assume that better is to come from Tapit since his 2012 crop were bred off a rising high of $80,000. Such is his deserved popularity, he will stand for $150,000 in 2014. Rejoining the six-figure club in 2014 is veteran Smart Strike, who will stand for $100,000 following a season in which he sired two Grade 1 winners in Swagger Jack, successful in the Carter Handicap, and Centre Court, winner of the Jenny Wiley Stakes. It was also a banner year for Adena Springs, which stands the half-brothers

Awesome Again and Macho Uno, as well as Awesome Again’s champion son Ghostzapper. Awesome Again, the leading son of Deputy Minister at stud, sired his first Classic winner when Oxbow took the Preakness Stakes under 50-year-old Gary Stevens, while older representative Game On Dude added another three Grade 1 victories, including the final renewal of the Hollywood Gold Cup, to his overall record of seven. As for Macho Uno, his season was capped by the brave win of Mucho Macho Man over Will Take Charge in the Breeders’ Cup Classic. The son of Holy Bull was also responsible for Vosburgh Stakes winner Private Zone. Horse of the Year Ghostzapper retired to stud in 2006 at a fee of $200,000, but by 2011 was available for just $20,000. Yet his record has improved to such an extent since that he will stand for $50,000 in 2014 following a year in which he was responsible

The result of the Breeders’ Cup Classic was an advertisement for US stallions, past and present: the winner Mucho Macho Man (right) is a son of Macho Uno; the second-placed Will Take Charge is by the deceased Unbridled’s Song, while Declaration Of War (centre) is a son of the hottest sire of 2013, War Front

for Princess Rooney Stakes winner Starship Truffles, who subsequently topped the Fasig-Tipton Kentucky July Sale when selling for $1 million to Castleton Lyons, and First Lady Stakes winner Better Lucky. Another representative, Moreno, ran Will Take Charge to a nose in the Travers Stakes. Adena Springs is also the stud destination for leading turf performer Point Of Entry. A triple Grade 1 winner last year, the son of Dynaformer added the Woodford Reserve Manhattan Handicap and Gulfstream Park Turf Handicap during the first half of 2013 before injury struck. Another female family to excel during 2013 was that belonging to Cee’s Song. Not only did the Seattle Dancer mare appear as the grand-dam of Oxbow and Grade 1-placed Paynter, but her sons Tiznow and Tizbud were each represented by Grade 1 winners. Tiznow, who stands for $75,000, has

long been considered among America’s elite stallions, which again held true when he sired the runaway Hopeful Stakes winner Strong Mandate and Ogden Phipps Handicap heroine Tiz Miz Sue. By comparison, Listed winner Tizbud stands for just $1,500 in California. Yet he also has a major flag-bearer in Tiz Flirtatious, who became his first Grade 1 winner when successful in the Rodeo Drive Stakes at Santa Anita in September. The reputation of Speightstown as a consistent source of high-class speed was further enhanced by four Graded stakes-winning sprinters, including two of the leading lights of the Saratoga meeting, Prioress Stakes winner Lighthouse Bay and Ballerina Stakes winner Dance To Bristol. The son of Gone West was narrowly behind Kitten’s Joy on the leading sires’ list as the season drew to a close.

iant’s Causeway is another regular stalwart among the leading American sires and 2013 was no different. Coolmore’s flagship Kentucky stallion sired seven Graded stakes winners in the US, including the Grade 2 scorers Fed Biz, Book Review and Caroline Thomas, to complement his 12 Group/Graded stakes winners worldwide, among them European Group 1 winners Dalkala and Penelopa. Meanwhile, his son First Samurai was represented by Alfred G Vanderbilt Handicap winner Justin Phillip, a new recruit to Castleton Lyons next season. Another Coolmore-based son of Storm Cat, veteran Tale Of The Cat, sired his ninth winner at the top level when She’s A Tiger took the Del Mar Debutante. Later disqualified from first in the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies, she was one of two classy juvenile fillies for her sire alongside wide-margin Tempted Stakes winner Stopchargingmaria. Fellow veteran Storm Cat stallion Stormy Atlantic supplied Jamaica Handicap winner Up With The Birds, while another member of the line, the Forestry stallion Discreet Cat, enjoyed his strongest season yet as the sire of Grade 1 winners Secret Compass, the ill-fated winner of the Chandelier Stakes, and Discreet Marq, successful in the Del Mar Oaks.

us stallions An increasingly prominent name within the Storm Cat clan is Hennessy, who died in 2007. Although sons of Hennessy have had mixed records at stud, a number enjoyed their time in the sun in 2013. Johannesburg, now based in Japan and responsible for leading young sire Scat Daddy, sired Forego Handicap winner Strapping Groom, while the previously disappointing Henny Hughes sired Beholder, whose four Grade 1 victories included the Breeders’ Cup Distaff and Santa Anita Oaks. The Pennsylvania-based Wiseman’s Ferry once again owed his prominence to Breeders’ Cup Mile winner Wise Dan. Beholder’s victory in the Breeders’ Cup Distaff capped an extraordinary day for the Tricky Creek mare Leslie’s Lady, whose son Into Mischief had been represented by Breeders’ Cup Dirt Mile winner Goldencents earlier on the card. The Spendthrift stallion had just 39 firstcrop three-year-olds to run for him in 2013, but, in addition to Goldencents, they included Jerome Handicap winner Vyjack. With such a strong start to his credit, Into Mischief looks set to carry on the good work of his sire Harlan’s Holiday, a grandson of Storm Cat who died aged 14 in November.

entucky also endured the loss of Unbridled’s Song, whose death ironically came during one of his most successful seasons. The son of Unbridled was put down due to a neurological disorder in August, just weeks before sons Cross Traffic and Will Take Charge won the Whitney Handicap and Travers Stakes. Will Take Charge, a son of Grade 1 winner Take Charge Lady, subsequently won the Pennsylvania Derby and ran a narrow second to Mucho Macho Man in the Breeders’ Cup Classic to throw down his claim for leading three-year-old colt. It was also a year in which sons of Unbridled’s Song went some way to salvaging his reputation as a sire of sires, which is good news for supporters of Graydar, this year’s Donn Handicap winner, who has taken the place of his sire at Taylor Made Farm. The first crop of Juddmonte’s First Defence, for instance, contained Mother Goose Stakes and Cotillion Handicap winner Close Hatches, while the first Grade 1 winner for Rockport Harbor came just weeks after his own death when Rio Antonia was awarded the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies on the disqualification of She’s A Tiger. Another son,

With such a strong start to his credit, Into Mischief looks set to carry on the good work of his sire Harlan’s Holiday Coolmore leads the way with its young US sires MAJESTIC Warrior is on course to be crowned the leading second-crop sire with the earners of nearly $4.5 million to his credit. Although Coolmore’s son of A.P. Indy primarily owes his position to Princess Of Sylmar, who swept the Kentucky Oaks, CCA Oaks, Beldame Stakes and Alabama Stakes, he sired eight stakes winners worldwide during 2013, more than any other second-crop sire. Horse of the Year Curlin was represented by five stakes winners, although only one scored in Graded stakes company. However, the colt in question, Palace Malice, was one of the leading lights of the three-year-old division, defeating Oxbow and Orb to win the Belmont Stakes and Will Take Charge to win the Jim Dandy Stakes. Two-time Breeders’ Cup Sprint winner Midnight Lute, the only mainstream son of Real Quiet at stud, enjoyed a particularly strong start to the year when Shakin It Up and Governor Charlie – both of whom were bred by the stallion’s former owner Mike Pegram – won the San Vicente Stakes and Sunland Park Derby. He subsequently fired in his first Grade 1 winner when Midnight Lucky, another part-owned by Pegram, ran out the wide-margin winner of the Acorn Stakes. Coolmore also boasts the top American first-crop sire in Dunkirk, the overwhelming leader of his generation ahead of Pioneerof The Nile and Colonel John. Available for just $10,000 in 2013, the son of Unbridled’s Song already has a top-class representative in Coolmore’s Havana, a $575,000 two-year-old purchase,- who won the Champagne Stakes en route to running second in the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile. Another colt, Dunkin Bend, won the Sapling Stakes at Monmouth Park.

Dunkirk, looks to have a bright future judging by his first two-year-olds, which are led by Champagne Stakes winner Havana. Unbridled’s Song is not the only son of Unbridled to be missed. The sale of Empire Maker to Japan back in 2010 continues to be rued following a season that yielded Grade 1 victories by Royal Delta (won Delaware Handicap and Personal Ensign Handicap), Emollient (Ashland Stakes, American Oaks and Spinster Stakes) and Last Full Measure (Madison Stakes). Thankfully, he appears to have left a potentially high-class sire son in Pioneerof The Nile, whose first crop includes Grade 2 winner Cairo Prince.

hile Empire Maker was exported on a likely one-way ticket, Darley’s Street Sense is returning to Kentucky following a year at their Japanese base. The son of Street Cry left Kentucky last year as the sire of three Graded stakes winners from two crops. However, 12 months on and his reputation is on the ascent thanks to the emergence of Grade 1-winning fillies Aubby K and Sweet Reason, winners of the Humana Distaff and Spinaway Stakes. The Darley roster can also boast a second Grade 1-producing son of Street Cry in Street Boss, whose first crop is headed by King’s Bishop Stakes winner Capo Bastone. Street Cry himself ended the year in style when siring his second Breeders’ Cup Juvenile winner in New Year’s Day. Incidentally, he is bred on the same Dixieland Band cross as Street Sense, being out of the Dixie Union mare Justwhistledixie. He was one of three Breeders’ Cup winners this year connected to Dixieland Band alongside Sprint winner Secret Circle, out of a Dixieland Band mare and the best performer by the Unbridled stallion Eddington, and Filly and Mare Sprint heroine Groupie Doll. From the first small crop of the short-lived Bowman’s Band, a Grade 2-winning son of Dixieland Band, Groupie Doll was sold soon after for $3.1 million at Keeneland to Mandy Pope of Whisper Hill Farm and returned to trainer Buff Bradley, who part-bred the filly with his father Fred. At the time of writing, a start in the Cigar Mile was on the cards, in which she is likely to meet Verrazano, this year’s emphatic Haskell Invitational and Wood Memorial winner. The son of More Than Ready is scheduled to enter stud thereafter at Ashford Stud.

eaten a half-length by Fort Larned in last year’s Breeders’ Cup Classic (G1), Mucho Macho Man was still seeking his first Grade 1 victory when he returned to Santa Anita nearly 11 months later for the Awesome Again Stakes (G1).

Making his 22nd start, he signaled his liking for the California oval, as well as his readiness for this year’s Breeders’ Cup, with a 4l victory. In the main event, he took advantage of a drafting position behind a three-way pace battle, took over with a quarter mile still to run and then narrowly held off the charges of

three-year-old Will Take Charge, and Irishtrained Declaration Of War. Appropriately for a winner of North America’s richest race, Mucho Macho Man comes from a branch of North America’s oldest sire line, that of Eclipse. A son of English Derby winner Orlando, Eclipse arrived in 1859 (and is not to be

breeders’ cup

Below, right, jockey Gary Stevens and trainer Kathy Ritvo. Both have come back to racing after injury and illness

confused with the great English runner foaled in 1764, nor the horse known as “American Eclipse”). Eclipse’s grandson Himyar sired a pair of sons, Plaudit and the “Black Whirlwind” Domino, who both have male lines that endure to the present day. The branch through Plaudit was

represented by Dr. Fager, a foal of 1964 by Rough ‘N Tumble, who ranks as one of the best runners ever seen in the US, and still holds the world record for a mile on dirt. Although he died relatively young, Dr. Fager did take a sires’ title, but it is not through Dr. Fager that the line comes down, but through another son of Rough’N Tumble, Minnesota Mac. Minnesota Mac did reasonably well at stud, getting a champion turf horse Mac Diarmida, and, from Dr. Fager’s half-sister, the twotime champion sprinter Ta Wee, who sired the tough sprinter Great Above. The line was continued by Holy Bull, a grandson of Minnesota Mac. Holy Bull was undefeated in four starts at two, including a victory over that year’s champion two-yearold Dehere in the Futurity Stakes (G1). He did not fire when favourite for the Kentucky Derby (G1), but earned honours as champion three-year-old and Horse of the Year the following season, scoring Grade 1 wins in the Florida Derby (G1), Metropolitan Handicap (G1), Haskell Invitational Stakes (G1), Travers Stakes (G1) and Woodward Stakes (G1). Holy Bull was never a dominant sire, but did better than many outstanding runners with the somewhat uncommercial pedigrees, getting more than 40 stakes winners, including the champion two-year-old colt Macho Uno, Kentucky Derby (G1) winner Giacomo, and other Grade 1 winners Flashy Bull, Confessional, Bishop Court Hill and Pohave. The most talented of his sire’s offspring Macho Uno was also one of the best bred of the Holy Bulls as his dam, the Blushing Groom mare Primal Force, also produced Awesome Again, who won the Breeders’ Cup Classic and is sire of Classic winner Ghostzapper. Winner of three of his four starts at two, Macho Uno earned championship honours by defeating Point Given and Street Cry in the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile. Thereafter his career was hampered by injury, although he did show that he’d retained plenty of ability with wins in the Pennsylvania Derby (G3) at three, and Massachusetts Handicap (G2) at four.

“

The most talented of his sire’s offspring Macho Uno was also one of the best bred of the Holy Bulls

Macho Uno started his career in Florida, but moved to Kentucky for 2008. To date he has been represented by 22 stakes winners, including Mucho Macho Man, Macho Again, winner of the Stephen Foster Handicap (G1) and a near two-millon dollar earner; Wicked Style, who gained a victory at the highest level in the Lane’s End Breeders’ Futurity (G1) and the 2013 Vosburgh Invitational Stakes (G1) captor Private Zone. Mucho Macho Man is the best runner to represent his immediate family for some time. His dam Ponche De Leona is a daughter of the Two Punch (Mr. Prospector) stallion, Ponche. A horse who stood at least 17hh – as does Mucho Macho Man – Ponche, unsurprisingly, took time to reach his best and won three sprint stakes as a six-year-old, breaking a track-record for 7f. Ponche De Leona was one of a handful of stakes winners sired by him, earning black-type with a win in the Anoakia Stakes at two. However, although she was speedy and precocious – she broke her maiden at 4f100yds – she also won an allowance race at Santa Anita over 1m1f at five.

breeders’ cup Ponche De Leona represented a major upgrading over the recent achievements of the family as there are no other black-type winners under either the second nor third dams. The fourth dam Gal Sal, though, was a stakes winner and from a very notable family. She was a half-sister to the Del Mar Oaks heroine House Of Cards, from whom descends a number of decent horses, including Yonaguska. Gal Sal’s grand-dam Sunny Dale is a sister to Sunny Vale from whom descends Dynaformer, Brian’s Time, Sunshine Forever, Monarchos and Offlee Wild, to name but a few. Holy Bull was generally disappointing with mares from the Mr. Prospector line, but Mucho Macho Man is one of two stakes winners by sons of Holy Bull out of mares descending from Mr. Prospector through Two Punch. It might be significant that Two Punch is out of the champion Heavenly Cause and her sire Grey Dawn II is also sire of the second dam of Holy Bull. In addition, she has strong pedigree ties to The Axe II, the other grandsire of Holy Bull’s dam. Although it doesn’t pertain to his pedigree, we can not but help mention the confluence of comeback stories that surround Mucho Macho Man. Bred in Florida by John and Carole Rio, Mucho Macho Man arrived nearly a month overdue and was briefly believed dead by his

breeders. Reportedly they were praying over his body when he jumped up and began to race around the paddock! In a manner of speaking his trainer Kathy Ritvo is also back from the dead, having been desperately ill prior to a heart transplant in 2008, while Mucho Macho Man’s jockey, 50-year-old Gary Stevens, had retired in 2005 due to near crippling knee pain. He returned this year to collect Grade 1 successes in the Preakness Stakes (G1) aboard Oxbow, then with Mucho Macho Man to take his first Breeders’ Cup Classic.

Delta toppled by Beholder

The Breeders’ Cup Distaff (G1) was headlined by two-time champion Royal Delta, winner of this event in 2011 and 2012, and Princess Of Sylmar, who came into the race as a winner of six of her seven starts this year, including four Grade 1s. As it was, the race proved to be pretty much a disaster for both. Royal Delta will still probably earn champion older mare honours, but Princess Of Sylmar, who would have been a lock-in as this term’s champion three-yearold filly, has probably forfeited that honour to the Distaff heroine Beholder, who won by 4l. Beholder was scarcely an upset winner, even against two such august opponents. Successful in last year’s Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies’ (G1), she won the

Beholder (Orange) corners neatly to take the Distaff, Royal Delta (maroon cap) is already in fourth, while Authenticity (green cap) is making a brave move to get through on the rail

Las Virgenes Stakes (G1) and Santa Anita Oaks (G1) early this year before losing out to Princess Of Sylmar in the Kentucky Oaks (G1). Given a near four-month break, Beholder returned in September to take the Torrey Pines Stakes (L) before prepping for the Breeders’ Cup with a victory over the subsequent Distaff third Authenticity in the Zenyatta Stakes (G1). Beholder is out of a son of the Hennessy (Storm Cat) stallion Henny Hughes. Hailed as a coming superstar at two after victories in the Tremont Stakes (L) and Saratoga Special Stakes (G2), Henny Hughes was then defeated by First Samurai in the Hopeful Stakes (G1) and Champagne Stakes (G1). In the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile (G1) Henny Hughes gained a measure of revenge by turning back the challenge of First Samurai, only then to get run down late by Stevie Wonderboy. Kept to sprints the following year, Henny Hughes won three of four starts, including the King’s Bishop Stakes (G1) and Vosburgh Stakes (G1). Beholder, from Henny Hughes’s third crop, remains her sire’s sole Grade 1 scorer, although he has also been represented by Japanese graded winners Keiai Leone and Henny Hound, and the US Grade 3-winning two-year-old She Digs Me. After shuttling to Australia, Henny Hughes was sold last year to stand there permanently, but returned to the US for 2013 as a reverse shuttler. Beholder is a half-sister to the Cashcall Futurity (G1) winner Into Mischief, a son of Harlan’s Holiday, who, like Beholder’s sire Hennessy, is a grandson of Storm Cat. Into Mischief is sire of this year’s Breeders’ Cup Dirt Mile (G1) winner Goldencents. Beholder’s dam Leslie’s Lady was a minor stakes winner at two, but there is little else of serious significance under the second and third dams. However, the fourth dam, Last Bird, is also fourth dam of I’ll Have Another, successful in last year’s Kentucky Derby (G1) and Preakness Stakes (G1).

Secret: a second Breeders’ Cup Sprint win

The Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Sprint has been discontinued, but the 2011 winner Secret Circle returned to get the better of Laugh Track by a neck in the Breeders’ Cup Sprint (G1). Three-for-three as a juvenile, Secret Circle was on the Classic track early in his threeyear-old season when he took the Southwest Stakes (G3) and the Rebel Stakes (G2), but went to the sidelines after finishing a 9l second to Bodemeister in the Arkansas Derby

www.internationalthoroughbred.net 121

breeders’ cup (G1). That was in April 2012, and Secret Circle was not seen again until the autumn, when he returned to take a minor event over Breeders’ Cup Sprint course and distance in a fast time. Secret Circle is a son of the Unbridled horse Eddington, winner of the Pimlico Special Handicap (G1), Gulfstream Park Handicap (G2) and Calder Derby (G3), and also third in the Preakness Stakes (G1). Eddington, who began in Kentucky but is now in California for a fee of $3,500, has sired just five stakes winners in his first five crops, with Secret Circle being joined by Brushed By A Star and Gold Edge as graded scorers. Out of the minor stakes-winning Dixieland

Band mare Ragtime Hope, Secret Circle is a product of the Unbridled/Dixieland Band cross that has already produced eight graded stakes scorers, including the Acorn Stakes (G1) filly Cotton Blossom, and the ill-starred Kentucky Derby (G1) runner-up, Eight Belles. Ragtime Hope is a half-sister to the Dogwood Stakes (G3) winner and Kentucky Oaks (G1) third Really Polish, and is out of a sister to the graded stakes scorer Chesire Kitten. Secret Circle’s fourth dam, R. Thomasina, is a sister to the prolific sprint stakes winner R. Thomas, while she is also grand-dam of another good sprinter in Rise

Stewards decide the Juvenile Fillies Ria Antonia awarded race victory after interference The Tale Of The Cat filly She’s A Tiger, who had led at every call in the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies (G1) and scrambled home a nose to the good of long-shot Ria Antonia, was held to have impeded that rival and positions were reversed. Ria Antonia’s only victory in four previous starts had come in a maiden on the All-Weather at Woodbine. Her previous attempts in stakes company had seen her run fourth in the Swynford Stakes and fifth in both the My Dear Stakes and Frizette Stakes (G1). Ria Antonia is a daughter of the late Unbridled’s Song stallion, Rockport Harbor. Undefeated at two, including in the Nashua Stakes (G3) and Remsen Stakes (G2), Rockport Harbor was struck into while winning the latter, and had foot problems for the rest of his career. These limited him to just four more starts, although he did win the Essex Handicap (G3) and ran second in the Rebel Stakes (G3). Like other early stallion sons of Unbridled’s Song, Rockport Harbor was disappointing with his first crops – when he died he was standing in Pennsylvania, having started his stud career in Kentucky. Ria Antonia is his first Grade 1 winner, and only his fourth graded scorer from four crops. Ria Antonia is the third foal and third winner for her dam, the non-winning Mr. Greeley mare Beer Baroness. The grand-dam, Lavish Numbers, by the Danzig horse, Polish Numbers, is a half-sister to a more talented runner in Behaving Badly, who took five graded stakes, including the Santa Monica Handicap (G1). Ria Antonia is a product of a Mr. Prospector/Mr. Prospector cross, via Fappiano and Gone West, and there are three previous graded scorers on the cross. The reverse of this cross has also been successful, and Ria Antonia’s broodmare sire Mr.

Celebration for Street Cry’s New Year’s Day

The colt’s edition of the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile (G1) was more clear-cut with New Year’s Day coming through late on the rail to score decisively from Havana, a son of the promising freshman sire Dunkirk. This was only the third start for New Year’s Day, who finished third on his debut, and then took a mile maiden over the subsequent FrontRunner Stakes (G1) winner Bond Holder. A $425,000 Keeneland September yearling he is from the first crop raised at Clearsky Farm, Lexington. The farm was owned by the late Eamon Cleary, an Irish-born entrepreneur who died at 52, only just over a year ago. Cleary, who was one of the shrewdest we’ve

Jim and third dam of the Arlington Classic (G1) victor Clever Trevor.

London Bridge stands tall

At the other end of the distance scale, the British-trained, New York-bred London Bridge took advantage of a late race collapse by the principals to win the Breeders’ Cup Marathon (G2). The only three-year-old in the field, it was a first black-type win for London Bridge, having finished fourth in the Prix Michel Hoyvet (L) at Deauville on his stakes debut previously. London Bridge is by the Super Derby (G1)

encountered in the business, had purchased Justwhistledixie privately at the end of her racing career, and she remains in the broodmare band at Clearsky, which is now run by Eamon’s sons, Bernard and Eamonn, Jr. There is a little bit of “it all comes round again” to New Year’s Day’s pedigree. He is by Street Cry and his dam is a daughter of the Dixieland Band horse, Dixie Union. In 2006, Street Sense, from Street Cry’s first crop and out of a mare by Dixieland Band, also took the rail route to victory in the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile. Street Sense subsequently went on to become the first horse to take the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile and Kentucky Derby (G1), and New Year’s Day gives the impression that he will have no problem with the distance of that race either. Street Sense was not the only star from the first crop of Street Cry, which also included the mighty Zenyatta, sprint star Street Boss and Grade 1 scorer Majestic Roi. What has been surprising about Street Cry’s career arc is that the crops conceived after his stellar beginning have been less productive. Prior to New Year’s Day, his northern-hemisphere crops foaled in 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011 have produced just one additional Grade 1 scorer. In Justwhistledixie, Street Cry received a mare who has the qualifications to help any stallion. She won five of 12 races, with those five victories coming consecutively, with the last four – the Love Affair Stakes, the Ruthless Stakes, the Davona Dale Stakes (G2) and the Bonnie Miss Stakes (G2) – won by a total of 12l. Justwhistledixie is a half-sister to the Saratoga Special Stakes (G2) victor Chace City, and to Bakken, a highly-rated three-year-old son of Distorted Humor, who won by 6l on his debut a couple of weeks prior to the Breeders’ Cup. The second dam, the Honour And Glory mare General Jeanne, is a half-sister to a quartet of stakes winners, while the fourth dam Tiy is third dam of a Shared Account, who took the Filly and Mare Turf in 2010.

Given the 1m6f distance of the marathon, while Arch has sired two sprint champions, there is also a lot of speed in the distaff side of London Bridge’s pedigree winner Arch, a son of the Roberto horse Kris S. Arch is best known in Europe as the sire of the July Cup (G1) and Golden Jubilee Stakes (G1) winner Les Arcs, while his other good runners that side of the Atlantic include Montgomery’s Arch, Arch Swing and Archbishop. In North America he’s been represented by champion older horse Blame (who has first runners in 2014), Canadian Horse of the Year Arravale, and the Grade 1 winners Archarcharch, Hymn Book, Pine Island, Prince Arch, and Love Theway Youare. He’s also sire of South African star Overarching, a three-time champion sprinter.

Given the 1m6f distance of the marathon, while Arch has sired two sprint champions, there is also quite a lot of speed in the distaff side of London Bridge’s pedigree. His dam Kindness, who scored her only victory over a mile as a five-year-old, is a daughter of Indian Ridge. She is a half-sister to the excellent Diesis filly Magical Fantasy, whose credits included the Del Mar Oaks (G1), the John C. Mabee Stakes (G1), the Gamely Breeders’ Cup Stakes (G1) and the Yellow Ribbon Stakes (G1), and to the English Listed winner Forward Move, who was by Dr. Fong, also by Kris S.

champion two-year-old and Belmont Stakes (G1) star Easy Goer (whose sire Alydar is also the sire of the second dam of Arch), and is a half-sister to the Prix de l’Abbaye de Longchamp (G1) winner Keen Hunter, and the Shadwell Turf Mile (G2) winner Altibr (both by Diesis). His fourth dam Splashing won the Cornwallis Stakes (G3), and bred a pair of quick juveniles in Bassenthwaite, who won the Middle Park Stakes (G1), and Glancing, winner of the Prix d’Arenberg (G3).

Goldencents worth it in the Dirt Mile

The Dirt Mile (G1), run on Friday’s speedfavouring surface, was a strange affair wth Goldencents setting fast early fractions, and opening up by 5l early in the stretch. Runner-up in the Champagne Stakes (G1) and winner of the Delta Downs Jackpot Stakes (G2) at two, Goldencents declared himself as a Classic candidate with a win in the Santa Anita Derby (G1). However, he checked in 17th in the Kentucky Derby (G1) and fifth in the Preakness Stakes (G1). He reverted to sprinting and went to Santa Rafael Bejarano returns on Goldencents

The “Turf “field. Note Ryan Moore’s position on Magician, one from last: not only did the horse’s trainer produce some magic for the win, but Moore did too

Anita off seconds in the Bing Crosby Stakes (G1), Pat O’Brien Stakes (G1) and Santa Anita Sprint Championship (G1). Goldencents is a member of the first crop of Into Mischief, who is by the recently deceased Storm Cat grandson Harlan’s Holiday, and, as mentioned, is a half-brother to Beholder. Into Mischief was a fast and precocious racehorse breaking his maiden first time out, finishing second in the Hollywood Prevue Stakes (G3), and then winning the CashCall Futurity (G1) in a quick time. He ran second to juvenile Grade 1 winner Georgie Boy in the San Vicente Stakes (G2) first time out at three, but did not run again until the autumn. On his return he won the 7f Damascus Stakes, then ended his career with a second in the Malibu Stakes (G1). He has made an excellent start to his stud career and, in addition to Goldencents, his first crop includes the multiple graded winner Vyjack, and three other stakes winners. Goldencents represents an advance over anything produced by his female line in recent generations. His dam, Golden Works (by the Forty Niner horse, Banker’s Gold), is out of Body Works, who won a slew of nonblack-type stakes events in Western Canada. The third dam Kinto was placed in minor stakes, but Goldencents and Body Works are the only black-type winners under the first four dams. When we get to the fifth dam, we come to Doily, also the second dam of the 1985 Kentucky Derby (G1) victor, Sunny’s Halo. We’ll also note that Harlan’s Holiday is a Northern Dancer/Raise A Native cross, and that Goldencents’ broodmare sire, Banker’s Gold, is a Raise A Native/Northern Dancer cross, with Northern Dancer coming through the similarly bred Storm Bird and Nijinsky.

Groupie Doll proves her ability again

After being beaten a nose by Stay Thirsty in the Cigar Mile (G1) on her final outing of 2012, Groupie Doll was given an extended rest. When she returned her efforts raised a question as to whether her powers were undiminished. Two of her preps, however, were on the All-Weather, and, back on a true Dirt surface, Groupie Doll closed well to score by a half length in the Fillies’ and Mares’ Sprint. A few days later, Groupie Doll topped the second session at the Keeneland November Sale when knocked down Mandy Pope’s Whisper Hill Farm for $3,100,000. Groupie Doll is the best of the 11 stakes winners – in fact the only graded winner – sired by the late Bowman’s Band, a Dixieland Band horse who is a brother to the dam of Pollard’s Vision, himself sire of the champion three-year-old filly Blind Luck. Groupie Doll’s dam Deputy Doll is a daughter of the good broodmare sire Silver Deputy, and is a half-sister to the stakeswinning sprinter Russellthemussell, and to the dam of another stakes-winning and graded stakes-placed sprinter Aristotle. Groupie Doll’s third dam Bold Flora is out of the stakes winner Floral Park. She is a sister to Flower Bowl, a top-class racemare, who subsequently became dam of the important sires Graustark and His Majesty. Bowman’s Band’s dam is by Pleasant Colony, a son of His Majesty, so Groupie Doll is linebred to this family.

O’Brien Magics a win in the Turf

Switching to the grass events, quite possibly the Breeders’ Cup Turf (G1) hero Magician is named after his trainer Aidan O’Brien, given the colt’s rather unorthodox route to the race.

After winning the Irish 2,000 Guineas (G1), he finished last in the St. James’s Palace Stakes (G1) after an interruption to his preparation, and went to the sidelines. When he lined up for the Breeders’ Cup Turf, he was not only returning from over a four-month absence, but was tackling 1m4f for the first time in his life. A son of Galileo, Magician is out of the sprint stakes winner Absolutelyfabulous. She is a daughter of the Danehill horse Mozart, which means that Magician is from the cross of Galileo over Danehill-line stallions that has now produced 26 stakes winners from 171 starters (15 per cent stakes winners to starters), including Frankel, Teofilo, Intello, Golden Lilac, Cima De Triomphe, Romantica, Roderic O’Connor and Maybe. The others named are all out of mares by Danehill himself, and Magician goes to the top of the list of stakes winners sired by Galileo out of mares by sons of Danehill, a cross that has produced five stakes winners from 51 starters. Magician’s second dam Lady Windemere is bred on a cross that echoes that of Sadler’s Wells, sire of Galileo. Sadler’s Wells was by Northern Dancer out of a mare by Bold Reason; Lady Windermere is by Lake Coniston, a great-grandson of Northern Dancer. She is out of Brigid, who is by Irish River, a grandson of Bold Reason’s halfbrother Never Bend. Brigid is also dam of Oyster Catcher, a black-type-winning daughter of Lake Coniston’s sire, Bluebird, and more importantly, Listen and Sequoyah, a Sadler’s Wells pair who both earned honours as champion two-year-old filly in Ireland. Sequoyah is dam of the dual Classic winner and Group 1 sire, Henrythenavigator.

Magician is a product of the cross of Galileo over Danehill-line stallions that has now produced 26 stakes winners from 171 starters Dank shines in the US again

Dansili’s daughter The Fugue may have narrowly lost out as even-money favourite in the Breeders’ Cup Turf, but that he gained compensation with the victory of Dank in the Breeders’ Cup Filly and Mare Turf (G1). Successful in the Beverly D. Stakes (G1) when shipping over for her previous start, Dank also captured the Dahlia Stakes (G3) and Kilboy Estate Stakes (G2) this term, her only defeat of the year when third to Duntle in the Duke of Cambridge Stakes (G2) at Royal Ascot. Out of the Darshaan mare Masskana, Dank is three-quarters sister to Eagle Mountain (by Danehill’s son, Rock Of Gibraltar), and a half-sister to champion French two-year-old filly Sulk (dam of stakes winner Ibn Battuta) as well as to the Listed scorer Wallace, Anna Pallida, dam of the Listed scorer Pimpernel, and to Slink, dam of the Group 3-winning Bye Bye Birdie.

Masskana is Classically bred on both sides of her pedigree as she is out of the French 1,000 Guineas winner Masarika (G1), and is a half-sister to Massyar, winner of the Gallinule Stakes (G2) and third in the Irish 2,000 Guineas (G1), as well as to the US graded scorer Madjaristan.

Wise Dan cements place at the top

The Breeders’ Cup Mile (G1) saw last year’s US Horse of the Year, Wise Dan, repeat his 2013 triumph, and although he only scored by three-quarters of a length, the impression remains that he is near invincible at around a mile on the turf. That impression is backed up by the statistics – he’s a winner of 11 of 12 starts on the grass, and his only defeat in seven starts this term (and his only loss in 11 starts going back to August 2012) was a second in the Shadwell Mile Stakes (G1), which was moved from turf to All-Weather. Wise Dan is by Wiseman’s Ferry, a Hennessy son who was Group placed in Ireland, and a two-time Grade 3 winner in the US. He now stands in Pennsylvania at a fee of $3,500, having sired just five other black-type winners in his first six crops. With that in mind, much of the credit for Wise Dan’s ability must to go his dam, Lisa Danielle. A $29,000 purchase at 1995 Keeneland September Yearling Sales by Cecil Seaman on behalf of Morton Fink – the owner/breeder of Wise Dan – Lisa Danielle scored just once in seven starts. Lisa Danielle made her final start in the

Wise Dan, easily the best by sire Wiseman’s Ferry, gets a welcome wash down after his mile win

Europe rules the turf with its 2yos The two-year-old turf events have generally been a rich hunting ground for Europeans, and so it proved this year with Outstrip taking the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Turf (G1) and Chriselliam the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Filly Turf (G1). Outstrip had already proven himself a high-class performer in England, with a second in the Vintage Stakes (G2), a win in the Champagne Stakes (G1) and a third in the Dewhurst Stakes (G1). Outstrip is by Danehill’s reverse shuttler Exceed And Excel, a champion sprinter in Australia. He has proved to be a very effective sire in both hemispheres, with his Group/Grade 1 winners including Helmet, Guelph, Overreach and Reward For Effort in Australia, with Outstrip being joined by Excelebration and Margot Did from his European crops. Outstrip is the first foal of the El Prado mare Asi Siempre, a Listed winner in France, and a Grade 1 winner in the US. Asi Siempre owns an intriguing pedigree as El Prado’s dam, the Irish 1,000 Guineas (G1) heroine Lady Capulet, is a three-parts-sister to the Cherry Hinton (G3) and Park Stakes (G3) winner Turkish Treasure, the grand-dam of Asi Siempre. Like Outstrip, Chriselliam had already more than proved her credentials at home, her last start seeing her record an upset victory in the Fillies’ Mile (G1). Chriselliam is by Iffraaj, the Zafonic son who caused a major sensation in 2010 when he was represented by a world-record-breaking 38 juvenile winners. He has returned to prominence in no uncertain style this year, and his current juvenile crop includes not only Chriselliam, but her Fillies’ Mile runner-up Rizeena, previously winner of the Moyglare Stud Stakes (G1) and Queen Mary Stakes (G1), as well as the Cornwallis Stakes (G3) winner and Middle Park Stakes (G1) runner-up Hot Streak. Chriselliam is out of Danielli, a daughter of Danehill and the Taufan mare Ingabelle, winner of the Phoenix Sprint (G3). Ingabelle is also dam of Priory Belle, who earned a rating as the top two-year-old filly in Ireland with a win in the Moyglare Stud Stakes (G1), the Premio Lydia Tesio (G1) victress Eva’s Request, Wild Bluebell, who took the Concorde Stakes (G3) and of the stakes winner Kiltubber. Ingabelle is the grand-dam of the German St. Leger (G3) scorer Fox Hunt and the Group winner Anam Allta.

If not a particularly commercial stallion, Mizzen Mast, who stands at Juddmonte Farms in Kentucky, has gained plenty of respect as a racehorse sire June of her four-year-old season, already in foal to Roy. The result of that mating was the filly Our Royal Dancer, who got the stud career of his dam off to a bright start as a stakes winner. The next notable runner for Lisa Danielle, who boasts a record of eight winners from nine starters, was Wise Dan’s year-older half-brother, Successful Dan. A gelded son of Successful Appeal, Successful Dan has earned almost a million dollars to date with graded wins coming in the Alysheba Stakes (G2), Greenbrier Fayette Stakes (G2), Ben Ali Stakes (G3) and Northern Dancer Stakes (G3), and he has been three-times Grade 1-placed, including a second in the Whitney Invitational Handicap (G1). Lisa Danielle is a daughter of the South African-born stallion Wolf Power. By the Round Table horse Flirting Around, a top-class sprinter in Europe, Wolf Power won 18 of 31 starts, was a champion two-year-old colt and a dual Horse of the Year. Brought to the US, Wolf Power wasn’t a prolific stakes sire, but did get the Grade 1 winner Freedom Cry. In addition to Wise Dan and Successful Dan, he is broodmare sire of

the Grade 1 winner Milwaukee Brew, as well as a number of graded winners. Lisa Danielle’s dam Askmysecretary, an unraced daughter of Secretariat, produced nine winners and a Hollywood Oaks (G1) third. She is out of Laquiola, a Lyphard daughter, who won the Prix de la Seine (L) and was group placed in France. Laquiola appears as second or third dam of several stakes winners, the most notable being Preis von Europa (G1) winner Scalo. Laquiola was a product of top-class European breeding – she is a half-sister to the Prix du Jockey-Club (G1) victor Roi Lear. Her dam Kalila is a half-sister to two other Classic winners in Valoris II, who won the English Oaks and Irish 1,000 Guineas, and to another French Derby hero in Val De Loir. Their dam Vali is ancestress of a slew of notable winners, including the Group and Grade 1 winners Le Miracle, Petoski, Cent Home, Aragorn and One Cool Cat. Vali is a great-great-grandaughter of the mare Simon’s Shoes, ancestress through another branch of Nureyev, Sadler’s Wells and Fairy King. The most notable feature of Lisa Danielle’s pedigree is that her sire is a Princequillo/

Mizdirection doubles up in the Turf Sprint. She is one of a “number of talented horses to combine Mizzen Mast’s broodmare sire Graustark with his genetic relative, Majestic Light.“

Nasrullah cross with her broodmare sire Secretariat being at the pinnacle of the runners produced by the reverse of that cross. Wiseman’s Ferry reinforces the Nasrullah/ Princequillo background as he brings in a second cross of Secretariat (as broodmare sire of Storm Cat, a reverse Northern Dancer/ Secretariat cross to the dam of Lisa Danielle), and his third dam, La Mesa, is by Round Table (Princequillo) out of a daughter of Nasrullah.

Mizdirection is the one

Another repeat turf winner was Mizdirection, who for the second year annexed the Breeders’ Cup Turf Sprint (G1). Mizdirection was running for the first time since finishing fifth in the Just A Game Stakes (G1) at Belmont Park in June, but she had been victorious in each of her other three starts since her last Breeders’ Cup triumph. Mizdirection is a grand-daughter of the Breeders’ Cup Mile (G1) victor Cozzene, and is by that horse’s son Mizzen Mast. Smart on turf in France where he won the Prix de Guiche (G3) and took second in the Grand Prix de Paris (G1), Mizzen Mast was better on Dirt in the US twice winning at Group 1 level. If not a particularly commercial stallion, Mizzen Mast, who stands at Juddmonte Farms in Kentucky, has gained plenty of respect as a racehorse sire, and his other representatives include Flotilla, who won last year’s Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf (G1) and this year’s French 2,000 Guineas (G1), and other Grade 1 winners Mast Track, Midships and Ultimate Eagle. Two days after the Breeders’ Cup, Mizdirection was sold for $2,700,000 at the Fasig-Tipton November Sale, the winning bid coming from Mandore International acting on behalf of the Qatar-based Al Shaqab Racing. It’s been reported that she will be bred to first-year stallion Al Kazeem. Mizdirection’s dam Clever Trick’s daughter Deceptive did breed another stakes winner in the Sea Of Secret’s filly Hurricane Bertie, whose black-type came by a victory in the Canterbury Downs Lassie Stakes. Mizdirection is also one of a number of talented horses to combine Mizzen Mast’s broodmare sire Graustark with his genetic relative, Majestic Light, the sire of Wavering Monarch. Others include the 2012 Grade 1-winning juvenile Spring In The Air, Breeders’ Cup Sprint (G1) hero Kona Gold, and Kentucky Derby (G1) victor Monarchos.

Watershed

Liz Price travelled to Flemington and saw trainer Gai Waterhouse enjoy her first “Cup” win with Fiorente, a Ballymacoll Stud-bred son of Monsun

he 2013 edition of the Emirates Melbourne Cup outdid itself this year, producing one of those dream results that was appreciated not only Down Under, but also in Europe. Before the start of the 2m race that attracted nine international raiders from France, England and Ireland, it was being hailed as one of the best cups ever. The quality of the 24-runner field has been on an upward curve for the last five years and more and more genuine Group 1 winners, as well as some very shrewd and well-placed Group 2 performers, are now regularly targeting Australia’s most famous

handicap, turning it into one of the most competitive races in the world. Opinions were hence very much divided when it came to determining this year’s favourite, but in the end the Gai Waterhousetrained Fiorente firmed up enough to go to the start of the 153rd edition of the Emirates Melbourne Cup as the clear 7-1 favourite. And while favourites have not the best record in this race, in fact only 34 have won it, Fiorente duly obliged, much to the delight of more than 104,500 spectators, who had started to flock to the Flemington racecourse in the early hours of Tuesday morning. Such is the need to be involved with the race that car park tickets to the famous

“Nursery car park” go for five times the entrance tickets, even though it is impossible to see the race live from that vantage point. You have to be an Australian to understand the reasoning, but it is undoubtedly very fashionable and inevitably one of the last places to clear out in the evening. And certainly this year the party went on and on, as there could have hardly been a more popular outcome of the Emirates Melbourne Cup. The 11-time Melbourne Cup-winning trainer Bart Cummings might be the king when it comes to the “race that stops the nation”, but there is no doubt that

Jockey Damien Oliver and Fiorente win the 153rd Melbourne Cup. If you look carefully at this shot, it appears that the jockey’s whip is on the horse’s ear Photo: PA

melbourne cup

Gai Waterhouse is the queen of the Australian turf. So when after three decades of failed attempts at the Cup, including three close second places, she finally got onto the podium, there wasn’t a dry eye in the house. Waterhouse is the sport’s most avid communicator and many joked that her speech would take forever, but in the end she just said that it “was the best tonic she had ever had”. For her jockey Damien Oliver, it was a third success in the A$6.2 million race and whilst his 2002 Melbourne Cup victory aboard Media Puzzle was the most emotional, this one was no less important. In fact, the 41-year-old jockey had only just come back from ten months’ suspension for betting on a rival horse, so even he had to admit that this “was pretty special”. And then there was the horse himself. Fiorente, runnerup last year, but stronger and faster this year, was bought for a reported $1 million out of Sir Michael Stoute’s yard, and flew the flag not only for the European bloodlines, but also for the European racing programme. Gai Waterhouse with her Cup star, Fiorente. The reported $1 million private purchase of Fiorente has certainly been a success story. And even before his November victory, Waterhouse, with agent McKeever Bloodstock, had already invested in future Cup hopes when buying two sons of Manduro – Bonfire for 120,000gns and Greatwood for 180,000gns – as well as Try Out (Rail Link) for 90,000gns at the Tattersalls HIT Sale

Waterhouse explained: “It is going to be very hard [for homebreds to win] in the future. We don’t have the staying races, this is the biggest problem. “The clubs are not putting on enough staying races as all the other races apart from the Cup are run over 2,400m. “What a joke! All these horses racing over in England are much more arduous, they run over the different tracks and they have such an advantage. We have to change things and put on more cups. We have to form more staying races and have to be programming from when they are three to be able to be prepared. “We don’t have any of the middle part to get our stayers prepared and that is what makes it so sad.” Waterhouse, who for

years

swore by New Zealand-bred thoroughbreds, only recently started buying in Europe. Yet the trend to look in Europe for the next Emirates Melbourne Cup winner is not new and it was no surprise that only five of the 24 runners were Australian bred. It was also no surprise that four of the nine international raiders filled the places behind Fiorente, with the Ed Dunlop-trained Red Cadeaux finishing runner-up for the second time in three attempts. “Isn’t it great,” said Ed Dunlop, despite the fact that victory had eluded him once more. “This is just the best meeting in the world and look at this guy. As soon as he gets on a plane to come here he grows another leg. He has carried more weight today, but he probably still ran better than when he was second two years ago.” The Luca Cumani-trained Mount Athos finished third, which produced a groan from his colourful owner Dr Marwan Koukash who had been so sure that this time he would win. But as Melbourne-based trainer Mark Kavanagh, who believes amongst other things in blinkers and granola bars when it comes to training a good racehorse, said: “The Cup does what it does. Some get lucky, others never do.” Simenon and Dandino, who finished fourth and fifth, also ran very well, while French trainer Alain de Royer Dupre, who won in 2010 with Americain, this time had to endure every trainer’s nightmare – his filly Verema had to be put down after fracturing her canon bone during the first part of the race. That too, was part of the 2013 Emirates Melbourne Cup day.

melbourne cup French-trained horses have, nevertheless, been extremely successful in this race and American-bred Americain is currently standing at Swettenham Stud, where he might just change the course of the Australian breeding history. He apparently loves his new job, as confirmed by Adam Sangster, who said: “He is very fertile, which is great and he has covered 130 mares.” In the future it will probably be easier for Australians to breed stayers than to buy them, as the market for stayers in France and Britain has become extremely competitive. Robert Roulston, bloodstock advisor and instrumental in the acquisition of Americain confirmed: “I bought Puissance De Lune at the Arqana Arc sale for €90,000. Those prices are no longer available for that kind of horse.

“

In the future it will probably be easier for Australians to breed stayers than to buy them

“Today, you have to pay three times the price, or even worse, most of the horses I was interested in this year had already been sold privately before the sales.” Puissance De Lune was a longtime ante-post favourite with British bookmakers for this year’s renewal before injury put an end to this year’s dream. The Europeans, equine or human, have certainly added their flavour to the last five editions of the Cup and it looks like it is going to stay like that, at least for the time being. There is definitely something special about that first Tuesday in November and everyone who has enjoyed the amazing hospitality, the fabulous atmosphere, the great quality of the race and the many before and after parties, can only agree with Gai Waterhouse, who said it best: “It is no longer a Cup that stops a nation, but a Cup that stops the world!”

To discuss...

Trainer Peter Moody speaking on “Summer 360” on Fox Sports after the Melbourne Cup Taken from a You Tube recording “I am sick to the death of hearing how these third-rate English stayers come out to Australia and are far superior to our horses. I am going to throw a curve ball at you – I am going to suggest you put Gai Waterhouse in Aidan O’Brien and Dermot Weld’s stables, put Mark Kavanagh in the same situation, put Peter Snowden in Bin Suroor’s stables, Chris Waller in Luca Cumani’s stables; I think we under play the role of our trainers. “I think our trainers are the equal if not the best trainers in the world. If Fiorente was in an English stable there is no way in the world he’d have won a mile weight-for-age race two runs back, would have run second in a Cox Plate, they wouldn’t have run him in it. “I think it really shows in this Melbourne Cup that, to a man, the English trainers the horse they least respected and all felt that could not win the Melbourne Cup was Fiorente. They all felt their horses were better, they forgot how much Gai Waterhouse had improved that horse, because Australian trainers will look outside the circle, they don’t. “So there’s something for your tweeters, and something for yourself to think about. Don’t suggest they’re third-rate horses coming down here, I am suggesting they are third-rate horses coming down here, but the Australian trainers are turning them into first-rate horses, they are not just dominating our horses… you know. “Put Lee Freedman in the leading stables in Germany, where Lucas Cranach and those horses come from, these horses… would be… you know. “Fiorente will hold his own from a mile to mile and a half in any weight-for-age race in the world trained by Gai Waterhouse; trained out of a European yard he’d be a steeplechaser! That’s my suggestion to you.”

www.internationalthoroughbred.net

Opinionated: Peter Moody * Where your argument fails, Peter, is that European-trained horses (not exported horses) finished second, third, fourth and fifth, beating all the Australian-trained runners bar the winner. Judging them on European form lines, all are quite plainly not from the domestic top shelf, and are, broadly, Group 3 middle-distance horses, Group 2 horses on a good day. Perhaps the lack of a suitable race programme for Fiorente ahead of the Cup was the reasoning behind Waterhouse’s campaign, not a divine method of “looking outside the circle”. She herself has been critical of the Australian race programme for stayers in the run-up to the Cup In that weight-for-age race you mention, Fiorente beat Spacecraft, a horse who has yet to win a race, let alone a Group race... possibly it was a below-par opportunity spotted by Waterhouse, and yes a good bit of race plotting, but not a gamble that European trainers wouldn’t be prepared to take on. If you want a bit of “out of the box” planning, don’t you think running Red Cadeaux to finish second in last year’s 1m2f Group 1 Dubai World Cup after his 2m Melbourne Cup run was the most inspired spot of training? And what about you and fellow Australian trainers coming over to prove the quality of the Australian horses on the international front, other than just with sprinters in Britain at Royal Ascot. Finally, Fiorente transferred to Australia from Sir Michael Stoute’s, a yard that had been under a cloud for all of that season with a virual problem, he cost a reported $1 million and is a very good Group horse running in a handicap... he sure as hell should find the improvement to win. P.S. And Fiorente actually finished third in the Cox Plate , not second...

equine nutrition

Lasix:

equine nutrition

a bigger problem?

Investigations into the use of Lasix have only really previously concentrated on its role as a method of reducing exercise-induced pulmonary haemorrhage (EIPH) or bleeding. Kentucky Equine Research (KER) is beginning an extensive study into the use of the drug to discover whether continued use of the Lasix could be dehabiliating to the racehorse. At the recent Equine Science Societyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s biennial symposium in Ruidoso, New Mexico, KER presented its early findings on the subject, alongside the results of other work produced by the research group

entucky Equine Research (KER) presented findings from a series of studies involving furosemide (Lasix,) a diuretic commonly administered pre-race to racehorses to curb exercise-induced pulmonary haemorrhage (EIPH) or bleeding. While furosemide certainly helps bleeders, it remains controversial whether furosemide improves performance independent of its effect on EIPH. Additionally, there is concern that chronic use of furosemide may adversely affect mineral balance in racehorses, leading to increased lameness and skeletal fragility. Six thoroughbreds were used to test the effect of furosemide on energetic efficiency during a standardised exercise test (SET) on a high-speed treadmill. The treatment groups consisted of an untreated control and two groups that received furosemide four hours before the SET. Weight loss during the four-hour period before SET was higher in furosemide-treated horses than controls.

While furosemide certainly helps bleeders, it remains controversial whether furosemide improves performance independent of its effect on EIPH

During the SET, heart rate was higher in controls compared to furosemidetreated horses. Absolute maximum oxygen consumption and carbon dioxide production were higher in controls than furosemidetreated horses. Lactate accumulation was higher in controls compared to furosemide-treated horses. The incidence of EIPH was very low and unrelated to treatment. Furosemide administration reduced energy generation from both aerobic and anaerobic pathways during exercise, and this improvement was probably due to a reduction in body weight. The effect of furosemide on 72-hour urinary and faecal mineral excretion was also studied. Urinary calcium, phosphorus, sodium and chloride excretion significantly increased 24 hours post-treatment. Urinary magnesium and potassium excretion was unaffected by treatment. Seventy-two-hour calcium and chloride balance was decreased in furosemide-treated horses.

Steaming vs soaking hay

...nine per cent of the original dry matter of the soaked hay, and four per cent of the dry matter of the steamed hay, were lost as a result of soaking and steaming

This study suggests that racehorses receiving furosemide may have increased calcium requirements. Further research is needed to assess the effect of chronic furosemide administration on mineral excretion and balance in racehorses.

Sugar and electrolytes

Dextrose is often added to commercial electrolytes based on the assumption that sugar improves electrolyte uptake in horses. KER presented results from a two-part study designed to evaluate the effects of dextrose on the uptake and retention of electrolytes and water in horses In the first part, thoroughbred geldings were dosed with electrolytes either alone, with 10g of dextrose or with 100g of dextrose. A fourth treatment of no electrolytes served as control. Plasma electrolyte levels were determined before dosing and every 30 minutes after dosing for four hours. Free-choice water was offered and intake measured. Plasma electrolytes and osmolality rose significantly in all treatment groups – as did increased voluntary water intake – compared

to the control group, but dextrose did not affect the rate or duration of increase. In a second study, thoroughbred geldings were administered 1mL of distilled water per 100g of bodyweight plus 0.15g/kg of deuterium oxide, either: (1) alone (control), (2) with 100g of electrolytes, (3) with electrolytes plus 10g of dextrose or (4) with electrolytes plus 10g corn starch. Plasma sodium ion and osmolality were significantly elevated post-dosing in all three electrolyte treatments compared to the control, but neither dextrose nor starch affected the rate of duration of increase. Plasma deuterium oxide was elevated to a greater extent in the control versus the three electrolyte treatments at 30 and 60 minutes post-dosing, suggesting that isotonic electrolyte solutions delay water uptake compared to pure water. Total body water was unaffected by treatment. Urinary and faecal electrolyte excretion did not differ among the three electrolyte treatments. These studies suggest that the inclusion of sugar in electrolyte products does not improve electrolyte uptake or retention.

A group of six horses were tested on a treadmill to monitor the ongoing effects of Lasix use

Horse hay is often soaked or steamed to remove dust and mould and to reduce its sugar content. KER conducted a trial to compare the intake and digestibility of timothy hay either dry, soaked or steamed in a hay steamer. The voluntary intake in kgs per day, rate of intake (grams consumed/minute) chewing rate (number of chews/100 g) and apparent digestibility of dry, soaked and steamed mature timothy hay were investigated. The steamed hay was placed in a HG-600 half-bale hay steamer and allowed to reach a temperature of 170C. Soaked hay was submerged for one hour in 68lt of ambient temperature water and allowed to drain for 30 minutes in hay nets before feeding. Steamed hay intake was significantly higher than soaked. Rate of intake on an as-fed basis was significantly faster for the soaked hay compared to the dry and steamed. Conversely, the number of chews/100g of as-fed intake was significantly lower for the soaked hay compared to dry and steamed. When expressed on a 100 per cent dry matter basis, rate of intake and chewing rates were not different between treatments. The fibre components – acid detergent fibre and neutral detergent fibre – of the soaked and steamed hays were greater than the dry hay. This was due to a loss of other components from the soaked and steamed hays. If these compositions were recalculated, assuming that the neutral detergent fibre content of the hays were equal, then about nine per cent of the original dry matter of the soaked hay, and four per cent of the dry matter of the steamed hay, were lost as a result of soaking and steaming. Much of this loss was from water-soluble carbohydrates. Soaking or steaming did not affect apparent nutrient digestibility. Soaking or steaming reduced the watersoluble content of timothy hay, but it did not affect the digestibility of dry matter, crude protein, acid detergent fibre, neutral detergent fibre, crude fat, ash, nonstructural carbohydrate or residual water-soluble carbohydrate. Steaming increased the free-choice intake of hay compared to soaking, but the rate of intake and the amount of chewing was not affected when expressed on a dry matter basis.

the golden gavels 2013

The Golden Gavels The annual bloodstock awards for the great, the good and the not so good through 2013

The Super-Human award: McCoy, the almighty. Head and shoulders above all...#AP4000

It might be time to:

Forget about the silly rehashed argument as to whether Tattersalls sells in guineas or sterling – most buyers have a brain or an agent to work out the financials – perhaps it’s time to think about adding Qatari and Dubai Riyal to the European bidding boards...

Vanishing act of the year (1):

Mahmood Al Zarooni

Favourite food: Irish bloodstock men love ice cream, preferably soft-served and in a cone

Best ad pitch of the year:

Irish National Stud: “In 2014 Big Bad Bob will stand for €6,000. In 2015, he won’t.”

Agent of the year Amanda Skiffington

Press release of the year:

Taken from the Camelot-retires-to-stud press release: “Next time out he [Camelot] landed the Irish Derby before losing out narrowly to surprise winner Encke when bidding for Triple Crown glory in the St Leger.” 140

www.internationalthoroughbred.net

Farm of the year:

Ballylinch Stud It was a great season for the Irish farm. The stud bred, in manager John O’Connor’s name, one of the year’s best juveniles Astaire, winner of the Group 1 Middle Park Stakes and by the stud’s firstseason sire Intense Focus. The farm also produced Chriselliam, the Group 1 and Breders’ Cup-winning filly by Iffraaj. Just The Judge, who won the Irish 1,000 Guineas, is by the farm’s third-season sire Lawman, out of the Ballylinch-bred mare Faraday Light.

Racing’s hero to zero:

goes without any thought... Mahmood Al Zarooni (again) There is something of a theme here... last year’s nominee was Frankie Dettori

Country we loved the most: Qatar What we loved the most: twitter (facebook... so old hat )

Who we loved the most: Australian trainers buying horses-in-training (Year 2)

the golden gavels 2013

Biggest lack of communication:

by the BHA to the bloodstock industry. Our London friends have helpfully organised “Future Champions Day 2014” to clash with Friday of Book 2. With this successful bit of race planning, there’ll be no one at Park Paddocks to buy future champions...

The stallion racing has rediscovered it’s love for:

Motivator

LONGEST-ever sales day: part 1

Day 1, Tattersalls Ireland September Sale: by the time the press had a chance to get away at around 11pm, ground staff had given up and locked the gates, which had to be cut open to let weary writers home. Maybe there should be bunk beds in the press room?

LONGEST-ever sales day: part 2

Day 3, Tattersalls Horses in Training: slightly let off as so many horses that evening fetched 100,000gns or more, but surely in that instance isn’t it time more of that day’s also-rans are sold on the Thursday? Come on Tattersalls, be brave and stand up to the pushy tactics adopted by some trainers, who are insistent that all of their horses sell on the most popular days

Stallion out of sales favour:

Unreasonably they’ve seem to have gone off stock by Azamour: this year’s 75,000gns was the lowest top price for a yearling by him, compared to a number of six-figure horses through 2008-2012. The fashion conscious buyers might again be proved wrong (small crops didn’t help him): take a read of our editorial on page 49

Reckon it’s time for a seminar:

given by Keeneland and Fasig-Tipton auctioneers to European buyers, vendors and auctioneers. It is a plan that has been devised by the longsuffering unsung heros and heroines on the sales bench, who sit patiently through some 12-hour days of equine selling just to hear auctioneers joking with their audiences, buyers cogitating over minimal bids and vendors setting unrealistic reserves at ridiculously late hours of the day. Yes, of course, people are spending lots of money and need to be sure of their plans, and yes all vendors need a fair chance to get their horses sold, but if everyone just got used to selling at a quicker pace, then it would become the norm.

Most used phrase in bloodstock:

Sold... to Peter/Ross Doyle

Most overused WORD in racing:

sungate

2nd vanishing act of the year:

British Bloodstock Marketing Great British Racing and its International cousin have been left in charge, but we haven’t seen a lot of them on the bloodstock marketing front (we’re not talking parties here...). Despite our industry enjoying such a great autumn with record-breaking sales and international successes we did not see one tweet, ad, online feature, web story or even facebook montage from our “marketing arm”, shouting out these achievements to our domestic and international racing friends. 1. When things are going well, what better time is there to market? Even Robbie Williams wrote, you’ve got to sing when you’re winning... 2. Are we going to be reliant on the sales companies once again for just a hint of British bloodstock marketing? 3. Who’s looking after the international visitors to our shores... not talking about the very wealthy (plenty of guys fluttering around them), but those who buy lots of horses lower down through the pyramid? 4. Anyone remember something about National Hunt bloodstock..?

mare of the month

Mare of the month Ectot is one of five runners and three winners by Hurricane Run out of Linamix mares

Tonnara (Linamix) Dam of: Ectot

ex Maresca (Mill Reef) ex Caprera (Abernant)

he Criterium International (G1) at SaintCloud on November 1 may have been the final Group 1 of the European season, but the mile contest was a first for both the winner Ectot and his sire Hurricane Run, both scoring their debut top-level success. It was Ectot’s fourth victory from five starts for trainer Elie Lellouche, the colt running in the colours of Gerard Augustin-Normand and Madame Vidal. It was a second success in Group company for the colt following his earlier success in the Prix des Chenes (G3) at Longchamp in September. Ectot was purchased by Sylvain Vidal for €65,000 at Arqana’s August Sale from the draft of Ecurie des Monceaux, and is to date the best performer by sire Hurricane Run, who himself showed huge improvement as a three-year-old. If Shamardal was the first horse to benefit from the Prix du Jockey-Club (G1) being reduced in distance to 1m2f in 2005, then Hurricane Run was the first horse to suffer by it, beaten only a neck by the former over what would prove to be a wholly inadequate distance for him. The son of Montjeu, of course, claimed his own Derby glory when landing the Irish edition over his preferred trip of 1m4f on his next start, his last appearance in the colours of his breeder Gestüt Ammerland before he was sold to race for Michael Tabor. The colt went on to round off his season with a 2l triumph in the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe (G1), beating such top performers as Westerner, Bago, Shirocco and Motivator.

mare of the month

“

The decision to send Tonarra to Montjeu for her first mating may have had much to do with her talented half-sister Albisola Hurricane Run returned at four to add a brace of Group 1 victories to his score card, claiming both the Tattersalls Gold Cup and the King George VI & Queen Elizabeth Stakes. He also suffered four Group 1 defeats at the hands of Pride (twice), Shirocco, and Rail Link, the latter when fourth in the Arc, before finishing fifth in the Breeders’ Cup Turf (G1). It was a shame that his racing career could not end on the highs it had previously hit, but Hurricane Run should nonetheless be remembered as truly top-class racehorse, capable of a brilliant turn of foot in middledistance company. He retired to join the line-up at Coolmore in 2007, standing alongside his sire at a fee of €30,000 which was maintained in 2008. Thereafter, his price steadily reduced, until he commanded an advertised fee of €12,500 in 2012, his last year in Ireland. Following that covering season, it was announced that he would return to his birthplace of Gestüt Ammerland to take up stud duties, where his fee was set at €9,000 this year. Unsurprisingly for a sire with a middledistance profile, Hurricane Run’s early runners took time to show their best, but his first crop did include Kreem and Cochabamba, who were both Group-placed at two, and the Listed-placed juvenile Hurricane Havoc. Until Ectot’s triumph, First Cornerstone, from Hurricane Run’s third-crop, remained

his only two-year-old Group winner, having triumphed in the 2012 Futurity Stakes (G2). However, while Hurricane Run’s progeny have not set the world alight in the manner of some of his paternal half-brothers at stud, he has produced some very useful sorts, including Memphis Tennessee, winner of the Ormonde Stakes (G3) at four, and third and fourth respectively in the Irish and Epsom Derbys. Precocity would not have seemed a hallmark of Ectot’s pedigree, particularly on his dam’s side. His dam, the Irish-bred Linamix mare Tonnara, did not see a racecourse until the October of her two-year-old season when trained by Richard Gibson. On that start she managed only seventh, and fared little better when beaten 27l on her only other start, in April of her three-year-old career.

n spite of that race record, Tonnara secured an audience with Montjeu in 2007 when his fee was an advertised €125,000, and was snapped up for 100,000gns at that year’s Tattersalls December Mares’ Sale. The name on the sales docket was Ecurie Des Monceaux, and Tonnara has resided at Lucien Urano’s Normandy stud ever since, under the management of Henri Bozo. The Montjeu foal that was on board as Tonnara went through the ring at Tattersalls turned out to be the filly Merville, sold for €160,000 at Arqana’s August yearling sale and later the winner of two of her races. Tonnara hit the jackpot with her second foal however, a Lawman colt who was snapped up for just €65,000 by Angie Sykes at the same sale a year later. Sent into training with Brian Meehan by owner Iraj Parvizi, the colt was named Most Improved, and showed plenty of talent at two, winning one of his three starts and also finishing a close third in the Dewhurst Stakes (G1) behind Parish Hall and Power. Injury unfortunately ruled the colt out of his intended seasonal debut in the 2,000

Guineas, and a first start in the Prix du Jockey-Club did not pay off when he suffered a troubled run from a bad draw and lost both front shoes. However, the colt enjoyed his greatest day on his next start when sent to Royal Ascot for the St James’s Palace Stakes (G1), overcoming the largest field in around 60 years to win by three-quarters of a length. The victory would be the colt’s final triumph, although he did finish third in the International Stakes (G3) at The Curragh in June of this year; when he beat only one other runner home. Most Improved will take up stud duties next year at Coolmore’s Castlehyde Stud. The decision to send Tonarra to Montjeu for her first mating may have had much to do with her talented half-sister Albisola, herself a daughter of the late Coolmore sire. Although Albisola did not see a racecourse until October 2007, by which time Tonnara was already in foal, the filly recorded her first victory the following month, and added victory in the Prix de Flore (G3) to her tally a year later. Ectot’s page has enough black-type on it to attract the eye of potential buyers, but it is a while since any of the family members have struck in Group 1 company. There is plenty of stamina under the distaff as well however, and it is worth noting that the most recent Group/Grade 1 performer is the top-class hurdler Grumeti, who shares his third dam Maresca with Ectot. Another recent update from the family came via Well Acquainted, whose has his fourth dam Caprera in common with Ectot and Grumeti, who won this year’s Surrey Stakes (L) and was recently purchased for 135,000gns at the Tattersalls Autumn Horses in Training Sale. Since producing Ectot, Tonnara has produced a yearling colt by Nayef, before her owners decided to inject some speed into the line by sending her to the leading Irish sire Invincible Spirit, to whom she produced a filly this year before being bred back to him.
