the first word

An Anglophone bias...

Were the 2013 performances by Black Caviar and the Arc victory of Treve really that much better than Lord Kanaloa’s HK success or Orfevre’s Arima Kinen win, asks Paul Haigh

very season has its distinctive aroma. In spring it’s flowers. In summer it’s the smell of new mown grass; at Christmas, roasting turkey and the whiff of hypocrisy that comes with concerted efforts to persuade us that if we don’t spend like drunken sailors we’re no better than the pre-enlightened Scrooge. And in mid-January here it is again, at least if you’ve got anything to do with racing: the sweet, sweet – well, sickly sweet really – so seductive scent of freshly baked fudge. They are the newly entitled “Longines World’s Best Racehorse Rankings”. A wonderfully authoritative title, a collection of fine minds whose findings only a fool would dare to question. But should we really be sure their collective pronouncements are holy writ? In fact their opinions – and that’s all they are, however honestly arrived at, just opinions like yours and mine – almost invariably seem to betray a western, perhaps even an Anglophone bias, and also a tendency to bolster the reputations of races, and horses, already accepted as the world’s best. Take the 2013 Dubai World Cup, for example. At the time that looked a pretty awful race, a suspicion that seemed to be confirmed by the winner’s complete flop when, with commendable enterprise, his connections sent him on to Ascot for the Queen Anne. The fact that Animal Kingdom was being reeled in at Meydan by the two miler Red Cadeaux looked a bit more respectable after that splendid globetrotter’s best-atthe-weights second in the Melbourne Cup and Side Glance’s victory in a Group 1 at Flemington, even though “The Cup” is just a handicap and the Group 1 was about as weak as Group 1s come. But the smell of fudge assails the nostrils when Animal Kingdom makes the world’s top ten in the WBRR on a par with Toronado,

Olympic Glory and Mucho Macho Man (Triple M being another example of a horse who did nothing much in 2013 except win the Breeders’ Cup Classic thanks mainly to a brilliant ride by Gary Stevens). Were the committee members influenced by the prize-money of the DWC? Or in MMM’s case by the desire to placate those who want the BCC to be one of the world’s greatest races? But let’s not mess around with the lower echelons of the top ten. Let’s go straight to the top. It was officially declared that the two best horses in the world last year were distaffers, the Australian racemare Black Caviar and the Arc winner Treve. There’s no doubt both were superb horses, but were the two victories, in February and April, that gave Black Caviar joint top spot, really even the best sprinting performances of the year? You don’t have to be a subscriber to the theory that the

“

...the smell of fudge assails the nostrils when Animal Kingdom makes the world’s top ten... undefeated mare earned at least part of her reputation by spending most of her career beating the same horses at home in Australia, or noting that she never even attempted the world’s toughest sprint (toughest largely because the best Australian males tend to get snapped up by Hong Kong money), the Hong Kong Sprint in December. Consider, too, Treve’s Arc. It was a dazzling triumph, running wide and then kicking on in the straight and there’s no doubt she

“Fudgy” decisions on the WBRR...

www.internationalthoroughbred.net

the first word deserved her very high ranking (as a three-year-old, of course, she comes out better than Black Caviar, who shared top spot on 130). But the handicappers couldn’t split them? Why not? Or rather how couldn’t they tell? Maybe because one was a sprinter and the other a 1m4f horse? Maybe because the two operated in completely different spheres and so there was no point of comparison? Smell the fudge...? Compare the judgements of these two with those of two Japanese horses, Orfevre and Lord Kanaloa. Most observers would have rated Lord Kanaloa’s extraordinary Hong Kong Sprint performance as the best by a sprinter anywhere in the world last year. Sole Power, albeit a better horse at 5f than six, seemed to run right up to his Ascot form and was still thrashed. And then there was Orfevre’s Arima Kinen. Fair enough, the handicappers did accept that the stupendous performance represented a

“

...the Arima Kinen took place on December 22 when most of the committee had probably already made up their minds... considerable improvement on his Arc second. But did they underestimate the extent of that improvement by leaving him on 129, on a par with Wise Dan, who won another Breeders’ Cup Mile but wasn’t quite the same horse he had been in 2012? He also took the Eclipse Award for a second time largely because there wasn’t an obvious alternative. The Japanese don’t actually give much of a hoot about the international ratings and

Haigh reckons that Orfevre put in the “middle-distance performance of the millennium so far, not just of 2013”, when the son of Stay Gold won the Arima Kinen run just before Christmas

www.internationalthoroughbred.net

would be much too polite to mention it if they disagreed with them in any case. But they may have noted that, in the Arc, Orfevre was racing for only the second time (after the Prix Foy trial) following a serious setback, that he was 8,000 miles from Japan while Treve was on home ground, and that he has always produced his very best on a fast surface. At Nakayama everything came together for this wildly eccentric but unquestionably sensational horse and he produced what may have been, mathematically as well as visually (try the lines through Gold Ship and Gentildonna) the middle-distance performance of the millennium so far... not just of 2013. Was it just convenient and politic to keep the two mares at the head of the table where they’d already been placed by the Longines committee before the HK Sprint or the AK had been run? Might it have been relevant that the Arima Kinen took place on December 22 when most of the committee had probably already made up their minds and were mentally preparing for their Christmas hols? Perhaps you have to look further down the top 50 (see page 46) to get the full fudgy benefit though. Try joint 47th. There you find Lucky Nine (Hong Kong Sprinter), Princess Sylmar (US middle-distance), Red Cadeaux (UK-ish two miler), Soft Falling Rain (South African miler), Sahara Story (US miler), Variety Club (South African miler), Za Approval (second in Breeders’ Cup Mile) and What A Winter (South African sprinter). Not only did they not race against each other, most of them raced against horses the others had never even seen. You can almost hear the committee’s collective sigh: “‘OK boys, let’s lump them all on 120, then no-one can complain”. If there’s a handicapper alive who can justify that cluster he must have the IQ of Newton and Einstein, as well as Barnum’s gift of the gab. The point of all this? Nothing too serious. Just that the international handicappers are not infallible. Sometimes they take the line of least resistance. Sometimes they just resort to the file marked “Too difficult”. And really their opinions, even when they’re reached with all due diligence huge intelligence are really only subjects for discussion – just like those of racing fans around the world.

New blood doping threat emerges Two American harness trainers banned after horses test positive for cobalt

fter the fall out last year caused by the use of steroids by Godolphin’s trainer Mahmood Al-Zarooni and the varying reactive changes in control enacted by differing national racing associations, the use of performance-enhancing drugs in horses has once again appeared on the radar. In January, Meadowlands Racing and Entertainment banned two trainers from the New Jersey harness track after horses in their care were tested out of competition and cobalt was found to be in their samples. Cobalt has not previously been tested for in racehorses or harness horses but, according to various scientific journals, the possibile use of cobalt for blood doping by human athletes has been around nearly a decade. Administration of cobalt in human athletes has similar results to recombinant human erythropoietin (EPO) i.e. it increases red blood cells. Cobalt is apparently an inexpensive and easy to acquire substance, but difficult to find in drug tests because the detection window is brief – between four and six hours. Cobalt can be fatal. A 2013 article in Hematology magazine, entitled: “Blood manipulation:

“

A large number of these samples have revealed the presence of cobalt in the horse’s system. We are quite certain that trainers and veterinarians using cobalt were well aware of this current challenges from an antidoping perspective,” reported that chronic cobalt exposure can have severe side effects in humans, such as cardiovascular issues, nerve problems, thickening of the blood and thyroid toxicity The dangers of cobalt have long been recognised. In the mid-1960s a brewery in Quebec, Canada, added Cobalt to its formula in order to stabilise foam. An alarming number of heavy beer drinkers in Quebec subsequently developed heart disease and died from

What is cobalt and how can it be used for blood doping? It is a relatively rare transition metal with properties similar to those of iron, chromium and nickel. Cobalt chloride, a water-soluble compound traditionally used to treat anaemia, is a well-established chemical inducer of low oxygen level responses. It is believed that cobalt can cause gene-level manipulation, in effect blood doping in order to increase the level of red blood cells and oxygen carrying capacity in the blood and so improving genetic performance.

cardiovascular failure. The evidence led investigators to the breweries which were adding cobalt to their beer. Tests taken out of competition on the harness horses by security personnel for Meadowlands were sent to the Hong Kong Jockey Club laboratory for evaluation. According to sources, the Standardbred trainers whose horses tested for high levels of cobalt were also administering large doses of thyroxin in order to reduce risk of thyroid problems.

NLY Basic equipment is required to test for cobalt, but post-race testing is believed to be virtually useless due to the short detection

time. “The Commission supports efforts by track operators to exclude parties who put horse health and safety in jeopardy and call into question the integrity of horse racing,” the New York Gaming Commission wrote in a statement published in the New York Daily News. Equipment has since been acquired on loan to test for the substance and personnel is being trained to test for cobalt. George Maylin, the director of Equine Drug Testing in New York, has been consulting with Meadowlands officials to help establish the proper thresholds for determining cobalt positives. Meadowlands said: “We had heard rumours that a substance known as cobalt was being used because it was difficult to detect and was not being tested for. “A large number of these samples have revealed the presence of cobalt in the horse’s system.

“We are quite certain that trainers and veterinarians using cobalt were well aware of this. Therefore, going forward, Meadowlands has established a threshold level of four times the standard deviation above the normal level of cobalt. “If a blood sample reveals that a horse has a level higher than four times the standard deviation above the normal level, the trainer of that horse will be deemed unable to participate at the track, as well as Tioga Downs and Vernon Downs.”

Pure cobalt

In December, the California Horse Racing Board began testing for cobalt in horses examined post-mortem in the state’s necropsy programme. However, none of the seven horses in Bob Baffert’s care who died over a 16-month period from November 2011 to March 2013 were tested, either at the time of the original examination or during subsequent re-testing. In the CHRB report on the Baffert sudden-death horses the trainer admitted to investigators that all of his horses were routinely given thyroxin. Australian racing authorities, also concerned with possible cobalt use, are developing their own threshold levels.

Pattern races changes brought into effect, Italy threatened over prize-money payment The European Pattern Committee announced in January changes to the European Pattern for the 2014 season. Four races have beeen upgraded: the British Champions Long Distance Cup at Ascot is to become a Group 2, as is September’s Solonaway Stakes

at Leopardstown. The Dick Poole Stakes at Salisbury and the Vintage Crop Stakes at Navan have become Group 3 races from Listed class. The Committee also downgraded ten races following their 2013 renewals, including the Gran Criterium at San Siro, which has lost its Group 1 status and is now a Group 2. The committee formally approved the programme for the newly created two-day Irish

Champions Weekend to be staged on September 13 and 14. There will be ten Group races, including five Group 1s. With the proposed redevelopment of Longchamp racecourse, changes to the venue of a number of end-of-season Group races in France have been made. Six Group 1s are at risk of downgrading in 2015: the Criterium de Saint-Cloud, the Prix Jean Prat, the Prix RoyalOak, the Grosser Preis von

Bayern, the Tattersalls Gold Cup and the Vittorio de Capua. The continuing problems with Italian racing has led to a final ultimatum being sent for payment of prize-money in arrears to be made by the end of March. If conditions are not met, it has been recommended that Italy will no longer be a member of EPC from 2015. It is also recommend that all Italian races be removed from Part I of the International Cataloguing Standards (ICS).

xxxxx Writing from a land Down Under

Not only are significant sums still owing to Inglis and Magic Millions, but a whopping sum of between A$194 and A$500 million are said to have gone missing from the punter’s club, named the Edge. This was a Ponzi scheme built on a grand scale with much of the money untraceable and sourceless. To complicate matters further, Bill Vlahos, the founding chairman, lost his Ute, computer and company accounts in a “fire” on his farm, while the flagship (unpaid) purchase, Black Caviar’s half-brother by Redoute’s Choice, died at Werribee Veterinary Hospital just before New Year. Adding further spice to the sales gossip was the well-publicised separation of Star Thoroughbreds and trainer Gai Waterhouse. The two had been business partners since 1994 when they had their finest hour with Sebring, the 2008 Golden Slipper winner. Waterhouse has relied on a younger team recently with James Harron teaming up for private purchases and Bruce Slade’s Round Table Racing becoming the stable’s main syndicator.

www.internationalthoroughbred.net

Star Thoroughbreds is sending its yearlings to Chris Waller, Sydney’s thrice-leading trainer who has been very successful with his European imports, horses such as Reliable Man, My Kingdom Of Fife and Foreteller. He certainly has plenty of ammunition and has had 10 per cent more starters than anyone else and 40 per cent more than Waterhouse. He has done rather better with tried horses than as a yearling buyer, but Denise Martin bought 19 yearlings for Star at around A$2.5 million. Waterhouse bought 43 horses with James Harron, including the

The run-up to the sales’ year was suitably lurid after December’s spectacular collapse of the BC3 syndication club

““

S Robert Browning might have said: “Oh not to be in Australia when the baggy greens are whitewashing us in both Test and Fifty Over cricket...!” Having inspected over 400 yearlings at the Classic Sale in Sydney, today was the first day for some creative writing. I had hoped the day chosen to compose my column would be wet and dreary, like the forecast suggested, but the bright sun and crashing surf of Coogee Beach under a furlong from my window reminds me what a martyr I am! A flight to Sydney in January led to a reunion with my trusty red Ute, which has served me and many borrowers well for 15 years. She did sterling service again putting in over 5,000km in ten days. It started with a couple of days as a spectator at the Magic Millions, which provided an extremely strong start to the southern-hemisphere sales season. The run-up to the sales’ year was suitably lurid after December’s spectacular collapse of the BC3 syndication club.

Redoute’s Choice sale-topping colt for Californian Jon Kelly; a total spend of over A$9 million. Other news to savour was the appointment of John O’Shea as Darley’s trainer to replace Peter Snowden, who is setting up a public stable. So it has been all swings and roundabouts, smoke and mirrors in Australian racing, which has always added interesting elements to the mystique of the sport Down Under. A racing blogger suggested Waterhouse is “getting long in the tooth and wants to scale down and spend more time with her grand kids”. Anyone who saw her on her yearling inspections, tour of the stud farms, parading the Melbourne Cup and having photo shoots, would not believe a jot of that prediction. A sad, but memorable occasion was the celebratory thanksgiving for Percy Sykes in the new Randwick grandstand. He died at the age of 93, yet he was still advising clients and keeping up to date with veterinary research until last year. He was a large part of the T.J. Smith

success story having started as his vet in the early 1950s after emigrating from England. He also worked with Bart Cummings and several leading trotting trainers. He was the instigator and promoter of the Ranvet brand of horse products and feeds, a great diagnostician, good judge of horseflesh, amusing conversationalist and great admirer of the fairer sex. He was a loyal supporter of Waterhouse and Arrowfield Stud where John Messara commissioned a bronze statue of him to stand outside the office. It only lacks four or five young (female) students sitting at his feet, taking on board his knowledge. Alan Jones, the outspoken Sydney breakfast radio host and one-time Wallabies coach, gave an outstanding address highlighting Sykes’s great contribution to Australian racing. In particular, he singled out Sykes’s recuperation of Tulloch after a lifethreatening illness. Having missed the whole of his four-year-old season, the horse came back to win another 15 races at five and six. Interestingly, the memories of Tulloch also serve to remind me how smallness of stature has never stopped a great horse. Hyperion, Star Kingdom, Mill Reef, Lyphard, Rahy, Canny Lad, Nureyev, Bletchingly, Northern Dancer and Tulloch (also dip/sway backed) were

all examples of how big is not necessarily best. The recently retired Richard Hannon always took a chance with a small yearling and a favourite Hannon quote is “large yearlings, large vet bills”. However, especially at the Australian yearling sales, big horses sell better and there were some hefty colts at the Classic Sale at the age of 15 or 16 months, particularly from Bart Cummings’ Princes Farm. I am heading home soon, via a couple of days in Hong Kong, to embark on a new venture and new income stream for the farm. I did a two-day B&B course in November and I plan to turn three bedrooms in the house into dog-friendly accommodation. We have a remarkable Saddleback sow named Lady Emma and her piglets will provide the bacon and sausages; Liam Norris is an avid chicken fancier and is to provide the eggs. I will have to nurture the bees to combat the Varroa mites so providing the honey, while John Hallum, who looked after Mill Reef, is in charge of the veggies – we will have to get those tomato plants producing well and early! I just need to hone my cooking and baking skills to produce the perfect poached eggs and homemade bread!

he amazing year of bloodstock sales results through 2013 was reflected in the annual company returns – all the major European sales houses recorded gains in aggregate compared with 2012. The greatest percentage improvement was achieved by the young sales operation Osarus, which saw its yearly gross increase by 77 per cent from the largest number of horses it has offered in one year, while Irish-based Goffs also experienced a marked upswing in fortunes – its aggregate improving by 44 per cent. This was largely achieved by its November Breeding Stock Sale that saw it’s gross improve from €8,155,500 in 2012 to €25,745,600 in 2013 due to inclusion of the Paulyn Dispersal. However, the Orby Sale also experienced strong gains, its turnover rising by 28 per cent for 40 extra lots sold. The Montjeu colt out of Finsceal Beo fetched €2,850,000, the highestpriced yearling ever sold in Ireland. It was the highest annual aggregate achieved by Goffs since 2007, a result that also applies to Tattersalls Ireland and Germany’s BBAG. Tattersalls and Arqana both achieved record-breaking aggregates, courtesy of strong results posted at all sales throughout the year. Horses sold at Tattersalls also sold for a highest-ever average price of 52,977gns. The October Yearling Book 1 Sale produced a record turnover for a European sale, a result bolstered by the 5,000,000gns Lodge Park Galileo ex Alluring Park filly, while two lots topped the four million guineas mark at the December Mare Sale: Dancing Rain, who sold for Last year’s top-priced broodmare: Immortal Verse who sold for 4,700,000gns.

the news

New Flat and National Hunt sales for 2014 New year, TWo new sales... the start of 2014 has brought the announcement of two new sales to be added to the British sales calendar, one for Flat horses and run by Goffs, and a Brightwells-run sale for the NH market. Both are to held in conjunction with the biggest British racing festivals in each division. The Orangery at Kensington Palace has been confirmed as the venue for the Goffs London Sale, which will take place on the eve of Royal Ascot on Monday, June 16, 2014. Breeze-up juveniles will be offered, alongside a number of top-class horses in training, some of whom it is hoped will hold entries at the Royal meeting. Announcing the sale venue, Goffs chief executive Henry Beeby said: “The Orangery at Kensington Palace is one of the most beautiful venues in London and the timing on the evening of the world’s most prestigious race meeting should ensure that Royal Ascot week 2014 begins in some style.

“Our focus will be on a small but select group of top-class horses, who reflect the quality of the racing that week. “This is one of the most exciting recent additions to the global sales calendar and will be promoted extensively around the world by the Goffs team.” Horses will breeze during the preceeding weekend at Kempton Park racecourse where all horses will be stabled and available for inspection on Saturday, Sunday and Monday morning. During the auction there will be a live audio and visual link between the two venues, with spotters also located at Kempton to take bids. In the NH sphere Brightwells has announced a sale to be staged at Cheltenham racecourse on Thursday, March 13 after racing concludes on the third day of The Festival. It is envisaged that the sale will comprise of a limited number of pre-selected high-class NH form horses.

No doubts...

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

T THe beginning of the year I re-evaluate all our suppliers, systems and practices, from questioning every supplier’s invoice to negotiating better rates to do business. It’s a great time of year to get to grips with such things in what is normally a pretty dead month, and every so often it throws up different ways of purchasing. Last year we decided to buy straw from the field by the acre and transport it ourselves from local farmers so saving vast amounts of money and getting control on length of cut and the type of bales produced. This year’s focus has been two fold. First, we reviewed our worming programme in depth as many wormers will be soon prescriptiononly due to a change in legislation. Our programme was a one-stop

shop to fit all, but this approach has led to resistance by the worms to the treatment. My brother Lance, alongside Sandy Love at Glasgow University, originally outlined a simple routine for us to follow. However, more and more we have found that horses have been arriving to us with high worm egg counts. The US also seems to have its own problem with resistance. This had led me to worm reactively rather than on a regular basis as we had been doing. We have changed our entire system now and analyse dung samples six times a year and worm only the horses who have a level over 50 eggs or more. They come in, get wormed and stay in for 48 hours before returning to pasture. No horse arriving back from being covered or from another stud goes on to pasture before we check for

www.internationalthoroughbred.net

“It is every owner’s dream to own a Festival winner,” said Matt Mitchell, Brightwells head of bloodstock. “We appreciate the significance of staging a sale at this world-famous event and are honoured to be given such an opportunity. This select Festival Sale will focus on selling future champions and will give an audience of established and potential new owners an opportunity to fulfil their dream.” Simon Claisse, regional head of racing for the south-west region of The Jockey Club added: “I am really pleased that the Brightwell sales will now be extended to include a sale during The Festival, where a selection of elite horses will be available for purchase and where all of the top owners, agents and trainers will be present.” The sale will take place in the auction-room marquee, a double-fronted hi-lux chalet situated opposite the unsaddling enclosure and the horses will be paraded while being sold in that enclosure.

worm eggs. The cost is very similar to worming once a month Surprisingly, there are many horses who come from the sales looking fantastic, yet have a worm burden. Being old fashioned I thought I could pick out the ones who would be in need of worming, but it seemed that many “gleaming” horses turned out to be infested. I was fascinated to read about a research programme being started by scientists at the Gluck centre in Lexington, the “let the germs get the worms programme” sounds logical; let’s hope they come up with a viable non-drug alternative for treatment. Our second revamp was walking-in mares to Ireland from English stud farms. A few studs have been already walking-in to Ireland, and have been for a few years. To make it viable you really need to be an owner-operator, own your own box or have use of one. Most Dublin studs are about 60 miles or an hour from the docks and with arrival times from Holyhead around 6.30-7.00am, an 8.00am cover can easily be met. Most studs already walking-in to Ireland use ovuplant, although one reported that it had no scientific

evidence to prove it was getting more fillies! From our farm it is a 225-mile trip to Holyhead to catch a 2.00am ferry and although I am already having nightmares about being up all night, in reality it is not a lot different from travelling to Newmarket, which is 280 miles away from us. I think all this is possible if you own the mares – travelling mares for third parties requires licences and insurances, as ever in this legalised world. I am guessing, but the ferry is around £150 each-way if you can use your transporter, who gets a discounted rate for volume, and with a 700-mile round trip in fuel, it should work out at a considerable saving. Good luck for the coming season for those that want to try it! Again at this time of year survey x-rays rear their ugly head and need to be planned for the next month or two. Late foals have caught us out in recent sales and are worth delaying a month or two as OCD’s have appeared with maturity; finding out two weeks before the sale does not help. Updating Health and Safety, COSH and First Aid policies, along with servicing all the fire extinguishers, concludes this year’s annual review.

The joys of horseracing...

....it was an up-and-down Festive period for the Champion trainer, writes Sue Montgomery

s far as jump racing’s spring festivals are concerned, the December programme in Britain and Ireland, with 19 Grade 1 contests in various divisions, is always informative but not always as dramatic as the last month of 2013 proved to be. But for champion trainer Nicky Henderson, the man closest to the two main talking points, perhaps “trying” would be a better word. After the dust settled, his two Cheltenham Festival champions were on course to defend their titles, but their roads have been by no means straightforward. The worry of Gold Cup hero Bobs Worth’s dull showing in the Betfair Chase in November on his comeback paled into insignificance as Henderson’s 2m superstar Sprinter Sacre, whose own planned return had been thwarted by an infection, sensationally failed to complete when he did appear, in the Desert Orchid Chase the day after Boxing Day. The highest-rated chaser in training had started at odds of 2-9 to extend his unbeaten run over fences to 11, but he was pulled up after seven obstacles by jockey Barry Geraghty. A cardiac

irregularity was discovered. Happily a week later, after searching tests, all was back to normal with the extra-large heart within the brilliant seven-year-old’s massive frame. At the time of writing he was back on course to defend his Queen Mother Champion Chase title, though he has to satisfy the monitoring equipment when he steps up to full galloping work. The day after his stablemate’s Kempton scare, Bobs Worth demonstrated that it is not just big horses who have big hearts. With a thoroughly commendable victory in the Lexus Chase at Leopardstown, the nine-year-old steadied the Seven Barrows ship and put his Haydock blip behind him as he proved his will to win and ability remain intact. After his defeat of Ireland’s best, headed by First Lieutenant, he was made clear favourite, 2-1 in most lists, to take a second Gold Cup. Henderson, the reigning champion of a profession that so frequently racks the emotions, is never one to put his feelings under wraps and his relief as he welcomed back Bobs Worth and rider Barry Geraghty was typically apparent. “This wasn’t just an ‘up’ after the down of Sprinter Sacre,” he said. “When Bobs Worth got thumped like that at Haydock it frightened the living daylights out of all of us. But he’s picked himself up after a horror run and put himself right back in the Gold Cup ball park.” The 3m test at Leopardstown is more demanding than that at much sharper Haydock, but though stamina is Bobs Worth’s strong suit he has pace as well and produced it on the run-in to go a length and a half clear of First Lieutenant, with trailblazing Rubi Ball third and last year’s Gold Cup runner-up Sir Des Champs, since injured and out for the

uk and ire racing season, back in fourth. The son of Bob Back, owned by a partnership headed by Malcolm Kimmins, was the eighth British-trained raider to export the Grade 1 prize in 11 years, but was nonetheless accorded a tremendous reception. The gelding is no flashy showman, being a small, spare individual and a plain dull bay in colour, but his ready enthusiasm has endeared him to the racing public. And, of course, he was bred in Ireland – in the north by County Fermanagh-based Lois Eadie [whom we featured in our art edition last June-July] from the King’s Theatre mare Fashionista. He was also famously raised in the Emerald Isle as a youngster by Geraghty himself. “There were some good reasons why he got beat at Haydock,” said the rider afterwards, “like the track and the very soft ground. I was looking this morning for reasons he might get beat this time, and to be honest I couldn’t find many. They went steady enough, but it was a proper race, hell for leather from the last. He perhaps doesn’t capture the imagination like a horse such as Sprinter Sacre but he gets the job done.” It was at Royal Ascot and Epsom, rather than jumping’s great arenas, where the family of Bobs Worth once did capture the imagination. His fourth dam Paddy’s Sister won the Queen Mary Stakes (G2) and was a half-sister to Derby runner-up Paddy’s Point before finding more fame in her second career through her son Ballymore, winner of the Irish 2,000 Guineas on his debut. Another generation on there was still a Classic winner on the page, the Poule d’Essai des Pouliches heroine Ukraine Girl, but Fashionista, the last foal of Ukraine Girl’s unraced half-sister Last Flair, ran just once without distinction. Bobs Worth is the best of a host of talented performers – including another possible National candidate from his stable, Roberto Goldback – by his sire, who died in retirement three years ago and now has the winners of 19 Grade 1 races on his cv. At the turn of the year Paul Nicholls was clear of Henderson in his bid to regain the champion trainers’ title he has won seven times. His main contributor has been King George VI winner Silviniaco Conti, who had finished third to Cue Card in the Betfair

www.internationalthoroughbred.net

uk and ire racing Chase first time out but, with that race under his girth, he took glorious revenge in the Kempton Grade 1 showpiece. The French-bred’s victory – the eighth in the race for Nicholls, and a first for rider Noel Fehily – was not in itself a surprise; he started a well-fancied 7-2 third favourite of the nine runners. But to anyone who was watching Cue Card, Silviniaco Conti’s win came as a shock. The son of King’s Theatre had thrown down the gauntlet from the off under Joe Tizzard, and the pair sailed assuredly over the second-last with a 3l lead; his backers must have then turned away confidentally to beat the rush to collect their winnings. But, between the last two obstacles, the complexion of the denouement underwent a remarkable change. In a matter of strides Cue Card’s petrol gauge flickered on empty, just as Silviniaco Conti’s turbo-boost kicked in, and a fine leap at the last sealed the prize by three and a half lengths for the Nicholls horse. With stamina at a premium in the 3m test on soft ground, the reversal of form between the two horses came courtesy of several factors, with a well-worked plan near the top of the list. Silviniaco Conti stripped much leaner and fitter at Kempton than at Haydock and harried the leader in second spot from the off. “I knew if he’d been at his absolute peak at Haydock he wouldn’t have won this one,” said Nicholls. “He came on enormously from that

“

Silviniaco Conti... notched an eighth successive King George victory for horses foaled in France first run and I told Noel to make plenty of use of him today.” Tizzard generously confirmed he was the loser in a tactical battle. “He was in a lovely rhythm,” he said of the 100-30 jointfavourite, “but every time I thought I might have a chance to fill him up, Noel was there on my girth, pushing me on. And mine just emptied after two out.” The pair pulled 11l clear of the winner’s stablemate Al Ferof, with Irish raider Mount Benbulben fourth and the other jointfavourite Dynaste, who had split the first two at Haydock, a disappointing fifth and last of the finishers. He was reportedly sore in his hindquarters post-race. The dual winner Long Run had faded out of contention when he tiredly unseated his rider at the last, his first non-completion of his fine career, and his target may now be to give his connections some fun in the Grand National.

Silviniaco Conti, owned by businessmen Jared Sullivan and Chris Giles, notched an eighth successive King George victory for horses foaled in France, and the 17th in all. Where French-breds are concerned it is a case of two tribes going to war; the latest winner is one of the AQPS (autre que pur-sang, or nonthoroughbred) strain, while his immediate predecessors, the five-time victor Kauto Star and Long Run, are thoroughbreds. Six of the ten individual French-bred winners of the mid-winter championship have been AQPS; indeed it was Nupsala, who thwarted Desert Orchid in 1987, who first alerted those in Britain to their excellent qualities. The other AQPS winners have been The Fellow (twice), Algan, First Gold and Edredon Bleu; the other thoroughbreds were two early winners, Manicou and Mandarin (twice).

ight-year-old Silviniaco Conti was bred in the central Allier department by arable farmer Patrick Joubert from the Altayan mare Gazelle Lulu, whom he bought out of training over dinner in a local brasserie. Gazelle Lulu won a bumper and four minor Flat races; her dam Tatiana Lulu, by Quart De Vin, was placed over fences. Her best son is by the deceased Dom Alco, whose other Grade 1 winners have been Grand Crus and two from Silviniaco’s own stable, Al Ferof and the 2012 Grand National hero Neptune Collonges. Al Ferof – a thoroughbred – is also out of a mare by the smart middle-distance performer Altayan. AQPS horses are genetically largely pure-bred these days, owing their status to a bit of rough or mystery breeding in their pedigrees many generations back (in Silviniaco Conti’s case the distaff origins of his 1930-foaled seventh dam Saratoska are unknown). But they are produced with pride and passion and now have their own stud book. Neither Bobs Worth nor Silviniaco Conti, who was going notably well when falling three out in last year’s Gold Cup, are likely to be seen before Cheltenham. Reportedly the The King George unfolds: left, Cue Card (blue) made all, but, with Silviniaco Conti, whose dam was bought over supper, sat on his heels throughout it appears the King’s Theatre gelding’s stamina gave out over the second last allowing the Dom Alco horse to take command (right)

Ireland’s idol Hurricane Fly is still surely the one to beat, despite the aspirations of the closely-matched British hopes admirable Cue Card is most likely going to take them on in the Gold Cup rather than the option of a repeat win in the Ryanair Chase. It seems a shame a Champion Chase entry has not been made as he was, after all, the only one to give Sprinter Sacre a race in the Arkle Trophy two years ago and if the reigning champion does not turn up then it could be an open race. Sire De Grugy has already been the beneficiary of Sprinter Sacre’s absence in the Tingle Creek and ill-health in the Desert Orchid Chase. The Gary Moore-trained eight-year-old has maintained his progress since beating Finian’s Rainbow on his final outing last season and is now six from his last seven runs, his latest win being his sublime, faultless victory in the Clarence House at Ascot.

My Tent Or Yours: the Desert Prince gelding rose to the challenge of the Grade 1 Christmas Hurdle. As a foal he cost only €2,000, and then just £12,000 when sold as a three-year-old NH store horse

At Sandown he readily accounted for Somersby; at Kempton, once his highestprofile opponent was out of the race, he was always in control and he gave weight and a beating to the rest. At Ascot he never looked threatened. Sire De Grugy is from the first crop of smart French miler My Risk, whose best effort came when third to Whipper and Six Perfections in a Prix Jacques le Marois. The eight-year-old was produced at La Grugerie, a small nursery at Pouance in Maine-et-Loire and is another AQPS product, out of the unraced Passing Sale mare Hirlish. With AQPS horses being named progressively alphabetically according to their foaling year, he is an S-reg contemporary of Silviniaco Conti and

Sprinter Sacre, and a year younger than Reve De Sivola, who put forward his World Hurdle credentials with a second successive wide-margin success in the Long Walk Hurdle (G1) at Ascot. However, amongst the 2m hurdlers, Ireland’s idol Hurricane Fly is still surely the one to beat, despite the aspirations of the

closely-matched British hopes My Tent Or Yours and The New One. The dual champion made it a world record of 18 top-flight victories, beating the 16 of US Flat runner John Henry and Kauto Star, when he took the Morgiana Hurdle at Punchestown in November. He made it 18 as he repelled the pick of the Irish pretenders, Jezki and Our Conor, in the Ryanair Hurdle at Leopardstown a month later. Hurricane Fly started at odds against for the first time in more than three years, but the result was never in doubt as he produced his trademark acceleration to streak clear. Both the vanquished may reoppose in March – Jezki’s supporters will argue that he was denied a run at a crucial stage and Our Conor’s that he was not fully match-fit – as Hurricane Fly bids to become the first 10-year-old to take the 2m hurdling crown since Sea Pigeon in 1980. If there is a danger to George Creighton and Rose Boyd’s colour bearer in Ireland, it – or rather she – may come from his own Willie Mullins stable. The imposing mare Annie Power made it nine from nine (at an aggregate 126l) as she beat last year’s Champion Hurdle fourth Zarkandar all ends up over 2m4f at Cheltenham on New Year’s Day. The World Hurdle may ultimately prove her target, but she would be a fascinating addition to the field for the shorter race. The six-year-old is a fine first-crop advertisement for her sire Shirocco, who has joined the roster

Two stallions scored Grade 1 doubles during the month: Oscar with a pair from The Tullow Tank, as well as reigning champion Beneficial through Annacotty and Benefficient at Glenview, County Cork, from Dalham Hall. The applications for the son of Monsun’s services must be wallpaper length by now. My Tent Or Yours and The New One, two of last season’s best novices, each came to the Christmas Hurdle at Kempton on their own roll, the former – another to bring Festive cheer to Henderson – having returned to notch his first Grade 1 success in the Fighting Fifth Hurdle at Newcastle and the latter seeing off first Rock On Ruby and then Zarkandar with ease in lesser races at Kempton and Cheltenham. There was only half a length between them on Boxing Day and the track and the run of the race probably better favoured JP McManus’s winner, who was able to

slipstream The New One into the straight and then pinged the last as his rival lost vital momentum with a blunder. Beautifully-named My Tent Or Yours, by Desert Prince out of Spartan Girl, is from the high-class Flat staying family developed at Ballymacoll, his dam being an Ela-Mana-Mou half-sister to St Leger winner Conduit. Hurricane Fly is, of course, by the lamented Flat star Montjeu, who – as the table here shows – was one of six different sons of Sadler’s Wells responsible for seven of December’s top-level contests. Two stallions scored Grade 1 doubles during the month: Oscar with a pair from The Tullow Tank, and the reigning champion sire Beneficial through Annacotty and

Benefficient, while Captain Cutter gave Westerner his first. Stock by the Coolmore sire have been running particularly well this winter. And two broodmares surely deserve mention. Half an hour before The Tullow Tank took the Future Champions Novices Hurdle at Leopardstown, his older halfbrother Many Clouds (Cloudings) won a novices’ chase at Wetherby, the pair the only two runners from Bobbing Back, by Bob Back. Similarly, the brothers Double Ross and Mr Moonshine – by Double Eclipse out of Kinross, by Nearly A Hand – scored within an hour of each other on New Year’s Day. New Grade 1-winning sire Westerner

Warming the atmosphere

Despite the record-breaking cold temperatures in the US, trade was pretty hot at Keeneland, writes Nancy Sexton

It was on the chilly side at Keeneland in January

www.internationalthoroughbred.net

EVER mind the challenge of buying horses, it was keeping warm that was high on the agenda during the Keeneland January Sale as sub-zero temperatures swept across

Kentucky. Buyers working the auction, the first stop of the northern-hemisphere sale circus, were faced with temperatures that reached a low of -17C during the first two days, as well as a wind chill that plunged to even greater depths. Inside the ring, however, even such challenging conditions could not dampen activity. Despite lacking a marquee dispersal, the sale ended with returns only marginally adrift of last year with 1,027 horses selling for a total of $41,025,700, down 9.2 per cent from 2012, and an average of $39,947, which was down only 2.4 per cent. More significantly, the median leapt by a third to $20,000. While the nature of breeding stock sales, which can vary markedly in their quality from year to year, renders it almost meaningless to compare different renewals, the figures do highlight the strength and depth present in the middle market. In addition, last year’s sale was boosted by the Fares Farm dispersal, which grossed $7,416,500 for 79 horses sold. Remove those horses from the 2013 renewal and this year’s aggregate and average each actually rose eight per cent. Missing from this year’s sale was a milliondollar horse, of which there were three in 2013. Instead proceedings were headed at $775,000 by Ponche De Leona, dam of Breeders’ Cup Classic hero Mucho Macho Man, who was sold in-foal to Distorted Humor to Elizabeth Moran’s Brushwood Stable. A daughter of the little-known Two Punch stallion Ponche, Ponche De Leona, a minor stakes winner, was a bargain $5,000 purchase by Fanlew Farms back in October 2009 at the OBS Fall Mixed Sale in Florida. At the time, Mucho Macho Man – a June foal – was a yearling and when Ponche De Leona returned to the market in 2011 at the Keeneland November Sale, the son of Macho Uno had developed into a proven talent

us racing having run third to Animal Kingdom in that year’s Kentucky Derby. Consequently, she was snapped up for $300,000 by Black Rock Stable, then big believers that Mucho Macho Man would continue to improve. Just over two years on, with their faith vindicated, it was that outfit’s turn to celebrate a major payday. Reiley McDonald of Eaton Sales, who signed the ticket on behalf of Brushwood, was unable to confirm which stallion the mare would visit, although he did indicate that a likely candidate could be Tapit, by whom she has a yearling filly who was bought back for $675,000 at Fasig-Tipton in November. Another former bargain buy Life Happened realised a major profit for her connections when selling to Jason Litt and Alex Solis on behalf of LNJ Foxwoods for $750,000. Picked up for just $4,000 by Machmer Hall Thoroughbreds at the 2008 Keeneland November Sale, the daughter of Stravinsky has produced three stakes horses in quick succession, led by last year’s Grade 2 Jerome and Gotham Stakes winner Vyjack. Another current performer on her record is last year’s Grade 3-winning two-year-old Tepin. Sold this time around carrying a foal from the final northern-hemisphere crop of Harlan’s Holiday, who died in November while on shuttling duties in Argentina, she was understandably hot property. European buyers might not have been particularly strong, but mares with ties to Europe certainly were. Sweeter Still, a Grade 3-winning halfsister to Kingsbarns, was the only mare catalogued in-foal to Galileo and she duly proved popular, selling to Braxton and Damian Lynch’s Royal Oak Farm for $750,000. The daughter of Rock Of Gibraltar joined the broodmare band of Phyllis Wyeth Ponche De Leona: the dam of Mucho Macho Man fetched $770,000

us racing Closely run affair for top sire spot

IN the end less than $100,000 separated Kitten’s Joy and Speightstown at the head of the leading US sires’ list. A late challenge to the title by Speightstown was headed by the Juddmonte homebred Seek Again, saddled by John Gosden to win the Grade 1 Hollywood Derby at Hollywood Park, while the WinStar inmate was also responsible for Central Banker, who fell only a half-length short of Shakin It Up in the Grade 1 Malibu Stakes at Santa Anita. However, Kitten’s Joy, who owes much of his success to the support of ownerbreeders Ken and Sarah Ramsey, also kept firing in the winners to maintain his advantage and land a first title. It is a particularly notable achievement given that he is primarily a turf sire. Three-time champion sire Giant’s Causeway finished third. However, he was the leading sire by number of graded stakes winners, with 13 to his credit.

Put It Back on fire in Brazil

The former Florida-based stallion Put It Back enjoyed a day of days at Gavea in Brazil on January 12 when he not only got the Group 1 winner of the Grande Premio Estado Do Rio De Janeiro, but also the 1-2-3 in the Grande Premio Henrique Possollo (G1) for fillies, headed by Brilhantissima, owned and bred by Haras Santa Maria De Araras, where Put It Back stands. The three are all trained by Roberto Morgado Neto. Put It Back started his stud career in Florida at Bridlewood Farm after he won five of his seven starts. His biggest victory came in the $150,000 Riva Ridge Stakes (G2), now the Woody Stephens Stakes, at Belmont Park in 2001. Put It Back, a son of Honour and Glory, was bred in Florida by Hobeau Farm and stood his first season in 2002 at Bridlewood, commanding an initial fee of $3,500. From 2003 onward, Put It Back has shuttled between Florida and Brazilianbased Haras Santa Maria de Araras. He was a leading sire in Florida in 2012 and has enjoyed success in the US and South America. He is the sire of Brazilian champions Requebra, Skypilot and Nitido, as well as Back On Top, a champion in Trinidad and Tobago. In the US, Put It Back is sire of the Grade 1 stakes winner, millionaire and 12-time winner In Summation, and Grade 1 winner Jessica Is Back.

European buyers might not have been particularly strong, but mares with ties to Europe certainly were

as a potential mate for her Belmont Stakes winner Union Rags, now about to commence his second season at Lane’s End Farm in Kentucky. Meanwhile, Flotilla’s half-sister Louvakhova, winner of the 2012 Frances A. Genter Stakes, joined the band at Leonard Lavin’s Glen Hill Farm in Florida, managed by Lavin’s grandson Craig Bernick, when selling for $425,000. Sold in-foal to Arch, the daughter of Maria’s Mon is out of Louvain, a stakes-winning Sinndar daughter of Scarborough Stakes winner Flanders. Her sale completed a productive New Year for Glen Hill, whose colours had been carried to victory earlier that week by Pontchatrain in the Grade 2 Monrovia Handicap at Santa Anita Park. It was a win that put her sire, young sire sensation War Front, on the stakes score sheet for 2014 – and only five days into the year at that. While 2013 confirmed War Front as an outstanding stallion, it was also a break-out year for young sire Midnight Lute. The first crop of three-year-olds by the two-time Breeders’ Cup Sprint hero, who stands at Hill ‘n’ Dale Farm in Kentucky, contained five stakes winners of 2013, among them Shakin It Up, who landed the Grade 1 Malibu Stakes at Santa Anita on Boxing Day. Just like Midnight Lute and his sire Real Quiet before him, Shakin It Up is campaigned in partnership by Mike Pegram and trained by Bob Baffert. The pair are also the team behind Midnight Lute’s other Grade 1 winner of 2013, the wide-margin Acorn Stakes heroine Midnight Lucky, and are involved with second-crop star Midnight Hawk, who maintained his unbeaten record with victory in the Grade 3 Sham Stakes at Santa Anita in mid-January. Shakin It Up has particularly strong ties to Pegram since he was bred by the owner out of Silver Bullet Moon, a Vindication daughter of Pegram’s champion two-year-old

Louvakhova: the half-sister to Flotilla made $425,000 and was sold in-foal to Arch

Silverbulletday. The Christmas and New Year period wasn’t all good news for Baffert. On December 26 it was announced that his Breeders’ Cup Juvenile winner New Year’s Day had suffered a sesamoid injury and been retired to stand at Hill ‘n’ Dale Farm for $12,500. In the end New Year’s Day failed to grab the Eclipse Award for the champion twoyear-old – the honours taken instead by the impressive Shared Belief in the Grade 1 Hollywood Futurity. Run in mid-December, the race was the final Grade 1 staged at Hollywood Park before its closure and it fittingly produced a memorable outcome, with even-money favourite Shared Belief drawing off under Corey Nakatani to win by 5l. The gelding, purchased from breeders Pam and Marty Wygod to join trainer Jerry Hollendorfer following an impressive debut win at Golden Gate in October, became the eighth Grade 1 winner for Lane’s End Farm stallion Candy Ride. The son of Ride The Rails was also responsible for the second home Candy Boy. Another striking juvenile to light up the closing weeks of the year was Mr Speaker, the easy winner of the Grade 3 Dania Beach Stakes at Gulfstream Park. The Pulpit colt represents much the same Kentucky Derbywinning connections as last year – Phipps Stable and Shug McGaughey. He also owns one of the best families in the stud book as a grandson of champion Personal Ensign, for whom he is the ninth Graded stakes-winning descendant. Given McGaughey’s barn also houses Grade 2 Remsen Stakes winner Honor Code, who is from the final crop of A P Indy, McGaughey heads into 2014 with an enviable Classic hand.

Girl power Treve and Black Caviar top the Longines Worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Best Racehorse Rankings, writes Alan Porter, who takes a bloodstock view on this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s figures

www.internationalthoroughbred.net

world rankings

ast year Frankel quite literally redefined equine greatness. A perfect storm of desirable athletic attributes, Frankel’s consistent brilliance brought about a complete revision of the former leaders on past International Classifications, something unparalleled since 1964 when the immortal Arkle brought about a situation where two handicaps were required for the Irish Grand National; one if Arkle ran, and one if he did not. If there is a lesson to be taken from this year’s rankings, it might be that the female of the species really can be the deadliest. At the top of the ratings on 130 is the remarkable sprinting mare Black Caviar and the exceptional three-year-old filly, Treve. Black Caviar retired to stud – the choice of her first mate being Exceed And Excel – with the remarkable record of going undefeated in 25 starts. She only ran three times in 2013, winning the Lightning Stakes (G1) in a 25-year-old course record, the William Reid Stakes (G1) and the T. J. Smith Stakes (G1), the latter being her 15th Group or Grade 1 triumph. Headliners: left, Treve wins the Arc from 129-rated Orfevre (red cap) and Intello (white cap), rated 124. Below, Black Caviar joined her French contemporary at the top of the list. The Australian mare has been rated 130 or above right since 2010

Black Caviar is a great-granddaughter of Nijinsky, a horse, who despite his own outstanding record as a sire, did not establish a thriving male-line. Her sire Bel Esprit (by the sprinter/miler Royal Academy) is now probably the world’s leading Nijinsky line stallion. Treve is also undefeated, although in her case that means five wins in five starts, the last three coming in the Prix de Diane (G1), the Prix Vermeille (G1) and Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe (G1), which she took by 5l from Orfevre (joint-top older horse) and Intello, the top three-year-old colt in his category. While Frankel was by Galileo, Treve is from the “other” European branch of Sadler’s Wells, that of Montjeu. She is by Montjeu’s Epsom Derby (G1) winner Motivator, out of an Anabaa mare from the female line that produced another wonderful mare in the shape of Triptych, a three-quarters relative to the second dam of Treve. High Chaparral, another Sadler’s Wells son, was responsible for the joint-top threeyear-old colt, Toronado. Funnily enough, Toronado, who is out of a mare by Grand Slam, who seems to be something of an emerging broodmare sire, is bred on an extended version of the Sadler’s

www.internationalthoroughbred.net

world rankings Wells/Gone West cross that produced Montjeu. Galileo, of course, isn’t going anywhere, and together in joint third among the threeyear-olds is his grandson Dawn Approach (by Europe’s leading second-season sire New Approach), and his sons Intello and Magician, who share top ranking among the long distance colts (despite three excellent efforts by Intello at a mile). The top-rated intermediate three-year-old colt Ruler Of The World is another son of Galileo.

Danehill line on top of the world

The top three-year-old colt of the year Olympic Glory comes from the male-line of Sadler’s Wells’s near-contemporary Danehill as he’s by Choisir, a son of Danehill Dancer. Another son of Danehill, Dansili, enjoyed an exceptional year with his representatives including The Fugue, the top older mare in two distance categories, and Dank, who took an Eclipse Award for older turf filly or mare in the US.

Strong representation for Japan

Mention of Orfevre not only reminds how far Japanese breeding has come in the last 20 years or so – primarily courtesy of Sunday Silence – but also points up something rather interesting about Orfevre’s sire, Stay Gold.

“

Rather surprisingly, Stay Gold is the only stallion with two runners among the world’s top 15 older horses Rather surprisingly, Stay Gold is the only stallion with two runners among the world’s top 15 older horses (his other is Gold Ship). Orfevre and Gold Ship are actually two of the top four older horses in the long distance category, and another son Fenomeno topped the extended category among older horses. Stay Gold, a son of Sunday Silence, made 50 starts, and was among the first Japanese runners to collect international honours, winning the Hong Kong Vase (G1) and Dubai Sheema Classic (G1), both in 2001. We shouldn’t overlook Sunday Silence’s son Deep Impact, who had six representatives on the classicifications. With the Japanese respect for endurance performers, be they human or equine, it is no surprise that the country’s distance horses are top-class, but less expected is the discovery

Japanese love their stayers, but the country’s sprinters are not too bad either: Lord Kanaloa, a son of King Kamehameha, the winner of six Grade 1s in Japan and Hong Kong, is the top sprinter

www.internationalthoroughbred.net

that the world’s top sprint male for 2013 was also bred in Japan. This is Lord Kanaloa, who not only won four Grade 1s in his native country, but also back-to-back renewals of the Hong Kong Sprint (G1). A very well-bred individual who will be at stud in 2014, Lord Kanaloa is the product of a sire and dam who were imported from the US in utero. His sire King Kamehameha, a former leading sire in Japan, is by Kingmambo out of the Irish-bred Last Tycoon mare, Manfath, while his dam Lady Blossom is by Storm Cat out of the US champion three-year-old filly Saratoga. In the direct female line the family traces to a sister to Secretariat.

Pierro by Lonhro leading sprinter

More internationalism is represented in the three-year-old sprinter category, which is topped by Pierro. A champion Australian two-year-old, Pierro is by Lonhro, also a champion Australian racehorse and sire. He is by Octagonal, the outstanding son of Zabeel, who in turn was the most successful sire by the great New Zealand stallion, Sir Tristram (Sir Ivor). The dam is an Irish-bred daughter of Daylami, while the second dam is by Sadler’s Wells out of a Shirley Heights mare from a family developed by the late Gerald Leigh.

It’s all about Wise Dan in the US

Looking stateside, the US performer tied for honours as top turf male is Wise Dan, who also repeated as the country’s champion turf horse, champion older male and Horse of the Year, and was a winner of the Breeders’ Cup Turf Mile (G1). Wise Dan is a son of Wiseman’s Ferry, a Hennessy horse who was Group placed in Ireland at two, and who won a pair of Group 3s in the US. The dam Lisa Danielle is a daughter of the South African-bred Wolf Power and was acquired for only $29,000 as a yearling by Wise Dan’s owner and breeder Morton Fink. Animal Kingdom, the horse who Wise Dan defeated in last year’s Breeders’ Cup Turf Mile (G1), this year was joint-top older horse amongst the non-turf performers – on the strength of his win in the Dubai World Cup (G1) – alongside the Breeders’ Cup Classic (G1) scorer Mucho Macho Man. Animal Kingdom’s sire Leroidesanimaux, a Brazilian-bred son of the Blushing Groom stallion Candy Stripes and from the family of

world rankings Dansili, was champion turf horse in the US. He has arrived to stand in Newmarket this year. Mucho Macho Man is from the oldest native North American line, that which arrived in America with Eclipse (the 1855 son of Orlando, not the “founding father”) in 1860. He is a son of champion Macho Uno, who in turn is the best runner to represent his sire, the great runner of the 1990s, Holy Bull.

Will Take and Unbridled’s in Charge

Staying with the US, the winners of the Kentucky Derby (G1), the Preakness Stakes (G1) and the Belmont Stakes (G1), Orb, Oxbow and Palace Malice, were rated within 2lb of each other – 120lb for Orb, 119lb for Palace Malice and 118lb for Oxbow – but all were considered inferior to Will Take Charge. He ran in all three Triple Crown events, finishing eighth, seventh and tenth, but showed remarkable resilience to rebound in his last four starts to take the Travers Stakes (G1), the Pennsylvania Derby (G2) and the Clark Handicap (G2), the latter over older horses. He also finished a close second in the Breeders’ Cup Classic (G1). Will Take Charge is a son of Unbridled’s Song, who sadly passed this year, but who had a standout season with other Grade 1 scorers, Cross Traffic and Graydar. His stallion sons, Dunkirk, the leading first-season sire, and First Defence both got first-crop Grade 1 winners. Another son Rockport Harbor, who also died in 2013, took the crown as the leading sire of two-year-olds.

Toormore is a son of the over-achieving Nureyev horse, Arakan. The dam Danetime Out was by another over-achieving sire in Danetime, who is out of a mare by Lear Fan. In turn his dam is by Lt. Stevens, a brother to the grand-dam of Nureyev. Two pounds below Toormore is the Racing Post Trophy (G1) victor Kingston Hill, who is from the first crop of leading European freshman sire, Mastercraftsman (Danehill Dancer). He is one of five stakes winners for the Coolmore-based sire to date. Out of a

Rainbow Quest mare, Kingston Hill should get at least 1m2f. Tied on 119, 3lb below Toormore, comes the US-trained No Nay Never, who would be have to be considered the fastest juvenile seen in Europe last year, and War Command. No Nay Never is by Scat Daddy (Johannesburg, son of Hennessy), the leading US freshman sire of 2011, and out of a mare by Elusive Quality. He looks likely to remain best as a sprinter. The Dewhurst Stakes (G1) winner War Command is from the fourth crop of the

Mastercraftsman, sire of Kingston Hill, had a great first season and three juveniles in the WBRR

Beholder gives Hennessy a double

Having supplied Wise Dan, the Hennessy line completed a double as the top non-turf female Beholder (also champion two-year-old filly in the US in 2012) is by his son Henny Hughes. He was an excellent two-year-old and sprinter, but overall his US stud career was something of a disappointment and he now stands in Japan. The top older non-turf female was Royal Delta, whose much-missed sire Empire Maker, is also in Japan. Despite a disappointing performance behind Beholder in the Breeders’ Cup Filly and Mare (G1), Royal Delta secured a third straight Eclipse Award, and a second as champion older mare.

New sires top juvenile rankings

Some new names appeared among the sires of the top European two-year-olds. The leader

“

Chriselliam is one of three to represent the resurgent Iffraaj here, the others including the third top filly Rizeena Danzig horse War Front. He was a high-class sprinter who began his stud career at a fee of $10,000, but, on the basis of his “street price”, is now the most expensive horse at stud in the US after such a breakthrough year in 2013. Europeans have had a previous taste of the kind of quality he can get in the shape of Declaration Of War, who also took high-rank on the rankings.

Another one for Galileo: Australia on 117 heads the trio of leading juveniles by the champion sire, though Toormore is the top of the table on 122. He is a son of Arakan

War Command is out of the E.P. Taylor Stakes (G2) winner Wandering Star, a daughter of Red Ransom. He should have no trouble with a mile, and 1m2f should not beyond question. War Front also has another highly-rated two-year-old son in Giovanni Boldini. The top five juveniles are rounded out by the Prix Jean-Luc Lagardère (G1) and Prix La Rochette (G3) winner Karakontie, a son of the late Storm Cat stallion, Bernstein. The dam, a daughter of Sunday Silence, has produced two other stakes winners, and is out of a stakes-winning daughter of Miesque.

Australia and Tonnara: middle-distance prospects

The highest-rated horse for whom 1m4f should hold no terrors is Australia, a son of Galileo and the great mare Ouija Board, while another from the Sadler’s Wells line who should stretch out is is Ectot, winner of the Prix de Chenes (G3) and Criterium

International (G1). He’s by Hurricane Run out of Linamix’s daughter Tonnara, also dam of the St. James’s Palace (G1) winner, Most Improved.

Chriselliam: one for “resurgent” Iffraaj

The top filly is Chriselliam, winner of the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies (G1) and Shadwell Fillies’ Mile (G1). Chriselliam is one of three to represent the resurgent Iffraaj here, the others including the third top filly Rizeena. As far as the longer filly Classics are concerned the likely prospects prominent on the rankings are the Prix Marcel Boussac (G1) winner Indonesienne, who is by Muhtathir and out of a Darshaan mare, the Oh So Sharp Stakes (G3) scorer Miss France, a daughter of Dansili out of the Group 1-winning Miss Tahiti, and Debutante Stakes (G2) winner Tapestry. She is by Galileo out of juvenile champion Rumplestiltskin, a grand-daughter of Miesque.

new sires

Bring on the new Al Kazeem

2008 Dubawi - Kazeem (Darshaan) The Royal Studs Fee: £18,000 A Group 2 winner in 2012, Al Kazeem developed into one of the stars of last year capturing a trio of Group 1s at around 1m2f in the Eclipse Stakes, the Prince of Wales’s Stakes and Tattersalls Gold Cup. He’s from what is now the strongest European branch of the Mr. Prospector line, that of Seeking The Gold through Dubai Millennium and Dubawi. His dam is a Darshaan mare, who is from the same sire and female line as the champions Glint Of Gold and Diamond Shoal, while it is also the same family as the outstanding US sire, In Reality. Crosses that have done well for the sire, and that should fit here include Sadler’s Wells and sons, Fairy King, Danzig (particularly Green Desert), Blushing Groom (notably through Rahy/Fantastic Light and Rainbow Quest), as well as Storm Cat and Nijinsky, who will both like the strain of The Minstrel here. It might also be interesting to try mares carrying Last Tycoon, or to introduce In Reality through Warning/Sadler Wells’s crosses such as Diktat, Charnwood Forest or Bishop Of Cashel.

Blu Constellation

2008 Orpen-Stella Celtica (Celtic Swing) Haras du Thenney Fee: €2,000 Winner of the 6f Premio Primi Passi (G3) and the Criterium de Maisons-Laffitte (G2) as a juvenile, he maintained his Group 3-winning form as a three-year-old when collecting the Premio Carlo E Francesco Aloisi, also over 6f. His dam by Celtic Swing won over a mile in Italy and she was out of an unraced halfsister to the Prix Jean-Luc Lagardère winner Oratorio, a son of Danehill. He stands in South Africa now, and is the sire of the Hong

www.internationalthoroughbred.net

With 35 new stallions, including 24 Group 1 or Grade 1 winners, there are some exciting prospects for breeders to consider this spring, writes Alan Porter

King winner Military Attack, who is out of a Dancing Brave mare. That could bring in Lyphard here too. This is pretty much an outcross pedigree – Northern Dancer is in the fourth and fifth generations – so Sadler’s Wells and all lines from Northern Dancer could be brought into play here. Orpen’s own best offspring arrived on the racecourse last year in the shape of the champion Vorda, a daughter of an Observatory (Distant Music) mare. That brings in the Mr. Prospector line, Machiavellian and Kingmambo.

Camelot

2009 Montjeu - Tarfah (Kingmambo) Coolmore Stud Fee: €25,000 A European champion at two and three, Camelot came closer to capturing the Triple Crown than any other horse since Nijinsky achieved that feat in 1970. Not only did he win the 2,000 Guineas (G1) and Derby (G1), but he also finished second in the St. Leger (G1), and, for good measure, also took the Irish Derby (G1). He is by Sadler’s Wells’s son Montjeu, a horse who can rightly be called “the Derby sire” of his era. He’s out of a Group-winning daughter of Kingmambo – so owning the Sadler’s Wells/Nureyev combination – while his second dam is by the frequent Sadler’s Wells line foil, Danehill. The most obvious strain not present here that has worked under Montjeu is that of Shirley Heights, with Darshaan being the best example. It also suggests his son, Dalakhani. Camelot so nearly became the first to win the Triple Crown since Nijinsky’s triumph in 1970

new sires Mr. Prospector has done well under Montjeu, particularly through Gone West, with Machiavellian also appealing. Roberto, Blushing Groom and Sharpen Up are other strains that appeal. The Nureyev male line might also do well here too, and doubling Danzig through Anabaa, Grand Lodge and Green Desert could be considered.

Cityscape

2006 Selkirk - Tantina (Distant View) Overbury Stud Fee: £5,000 A Group race performer every year from two to six, Cityscape earned his Grade 1 success in the Dubai City of Gold Stakes. A true globetrotter, he was placed in five other Group or Grade 1 races around the world. By Selkirk, Cityscape might be the last hope for the Sharpen Up line, at least in Europe. He’s out of a stakes-winning mare who also produced the sprint star Bated Breath, and from the great Best In Show family that has produced stars such as El Gran Senor, Try My Best and leading Australian sire Redoute’s Choice. Bated Breath’s sire Dansili is one obvious choice, as are other sons of Danehill, and Danzig through Green Desert, who is bred on the same cross as Cityscape’s third dam, also appeals. Sadler’s Wells has done well under Selkirk. Gone West through Zafonic, Zamindar and Xaar (from same family as Cityscape) appeal as does Last Tycoon, a son of Try My Best, another from this female line.

Dabirsim

2009 Hat Trick - Rumored (Royal Academy) Gestüt Karlshof Fee: €9,000 Dabirsim represents something rather different for German breeders. The European joint-top rated two-year-old of 2011, he is by a son of Sunday Silence, who was champion sprinter/miler in Japan. Local breeders will be more familiar with the broodmare sire, who has enjoyed success with German strains, and grand-dam Bright Generation who completes the international aspect of the pedigree – she was a champion in Italy where she won the Oaks (G1) having also run second in the Moyglare Stakes (G1) at two.

The sire has been useful from limited opportunities in the US with five stakes winners from 89 starters, including another Grade 1 winner in King David, one of two graded stakes winners out of Gone West line mares. Mares by Zamindar and Zafonic and their sons would be particularly intriguing here – there is a stakes winner out of a mare by Storm Bird, and he and his son Storm Cat should prove very positive. We can also note a French stakes winner out of a mare by Danzig’s son Zieten. The dam is an example of the famously successful Nijinsky/Blushing Groom combination and any reinforcement of those strains should be good; Dansili being one example that comes to mind.

Dawn Approach

2010 New Approach - Hymn Of The Dawn (Phone Trick) Kildangan Stud Fee: €35,000 A European champion at two when he won the Dewhurst Stakes (G1), the National Stakes (G1) and Coventry Stakes (G2), Dawn Approach trained on to add the 2,000 Guineas (G1) and St. James’s Palace Stakes (G1) at three. He is from the first crop of Galileo’s son New Approach, a European champion at two and three and now the leading first and second-season sire of his generation. Out of a mare by the brilliant US sprinter Phone Trick, Dawn Approach is open to virtually all that has worked with Galileo, his sons and his sire. This includes the Danzig line, particularly Danehill (who is broodmare sire of a New Approach graded winner), and Shirley Heights, including Darshaan. New Approach seems to enjoy meeting Mr. Prospector mares more than his sire, and he already has stakes winners from the Gone West, Machiavellian and Seeking The Gold branches of that line. The Oaks (G1) heroine Talent, who is out of a mare by Peintre Celebre, gives the combination of Sadler’s Wells and his threequarters brother Nureyev.

Declaration Of War

2009 War Front - Tempo West (Rahy) Coolmore Stud Fee: €40,000 Winner of the International Stakes (G1) and

“

Out of a mare by the brilliant US sprinter Phone Trick, Dawn Approach is open to virtually all that has worked with Galileo, his sons and his sire Queen Anne Stakes (G1), the tough as teak Declaration Of War is the first son of his sire – a sprinter by Danzig, who has become the hottest stallion at stud in the US – to retire to stud on this side of the Atlantic. On the distaff side, he’s out of Rahy mare who is a half-sister to Union Rags, a top two-year-old who also took the Belmont Stakes (G1) at three. The sire already has two stakes winners out of Sadler’s Wells line mares, he has been doing well over Roberto, including with Red Ransom (broodmare sire of another War Front European star, War Command), and he has a stakes winner out of a Caerleon mare. A wide range of Mr. Prospector-line mares have already worked under War Front, and Zafonic/Zamindar and sons appeal here.

Epaulette

2009 Commands – Accessories (Singspiel) Kildangan Stud Fee: €7,500 A dual 7f Group 1 winner in his native Australia, and runner-up in the Darley TJ Smith Stakes (G1) to the mighty mare Black Caviar, Epaulette kicks off his stud career in the northern-hemisphere for Darley. He boasts a fine pedigree as a three-parts brother to Darley young sire, a fellow Group 1 winner Helmet (Exceed And Excel), and to Bullbars, who was a runner-up in the Austrlian Guineas (G1). He is a son of Elusive Quality, which would bring in the Gone West. Epaulette is by Commands, a son of Danehill, so all the usual crosses come into play and as the sire’s family has already had success with Sadler’s Wells line sires (his dam is a half-sister to Annaba, a Group 2 winner

www.internationalthoroughbred.net

new sires by In The Wings) it is a fairly obvious place to start. Commands has also had three Group 1 winners out of Quest For Fame mares, which brings in the great broodmare sire line of Rainbow Quest.

Farhh

2008 Pivotal - Gonbarda (Lando) Dalham Hall Stud Fee: £17,500 Farhh started only once at both two and at three – and winning both times – but took a quartet of seconds in Group 1 events at four finishing behind Nathaniel, Frankel twice, and Moonlight Cloud. At five he won the Lockinge Stakes (G1) and Champion Stakes (G1) in two starts. The best son of his sire Pivotal, Farhh comes from a top-class German family – his dam Gonbarda is a Group 1 winner out a mare who is a three-quarters sister to the dam of Fame And Glory. Fame And Glory is by Montjeu, a son of Sadler’s Wells, and that strain appeals for a number of reasons here. Pivotal has also enjoyed success with Danehill and other Danzig strains; Mr. Prospector, through quite a wide variety of sources; Blushing Groom through Rainbow Quest and Rahy; and Primo Dominie. In deference to the distaff side of his pedigree, we’d also expect Farhh to work with most of the longer established German lines.

Finjaan

2006 Royal Applause - Alhufoof (Dayjur) Gazeley Stud Fee: £4,500 A fast and precocious horse by the sire of Acclamation, Finjaan won the Molecomb Stakes (G3), ran third in the Dewhurst Stakes (G1) and added the Lennox Stakes (G2) to his tally at three. His dam, a half-sister to the dam of 1,000 Guineas (G1) winner Lahan, is out of the US dual Grade 1 winner Cheval Volant. The dam is by Dayjur, a Danzig/Mr. Prospector cross, and more Danzig should work well here, as should any Northern Dancer/Mr. Prospector or reverse of that cross as Mr. Prospector has enjoyed success under Royal Applasue. The third dam is by a brother to Night Shift (broodmare sire of two Royal Applause stakes winners) and Fanfreluche, so those strains

www.internationalthoroughbred.net

appeal – Fanfreluche being available through Holy Roman Emperor, who looks interesting here. Royal Applause and his heirs have also done well with some traditional speed strains, such as Prince Sabo, Dominion/Primo Dominie/First Trump, Cadeaux Genereux, Bahamian Bounty, Ahonoora and Indian Ridge.

French Fifteen

2009 Turtle Bowl - Spring Morning (Ashkalani) Haras du Logis Saint Germain Fee: €6,000 Winner of the Criterium International (G1) at two, French Fifteen was also the champion three-year-old colt in France after he won the Prix Djebel (G3) and ran a close second to Camelot in the 2,000 Guineas (G1). He is from the first crop of his sire, a Group 1-winning grandson of Night Shift, who also got the French 2,000 Guineas (G1) Lucayan in his first year at stud. On the distaff side French Fifteen goes back to the famed racemare, Petite Etoile. French Fifteen is doubled to the Northern Dancer/Sir Gaylord cross, and so he should particularly appreciate more of the same, particularly Sadler’s Wells/Sir Ivor (sires such as Barathea), as well as other versions

of a similar cross through sires such as Green Desert, Shareef Dancer, Dancing Brave and Grand Lodge, the broodmare sire of Lucayan. Turtle Bowl also has had a stakes winner out of a mare by Singspiel, a broader version of the cross (Northern Dancer/Turn-to with the Turn-to through Halo).

George Vancouver

2010 Henrythenavigator - Versailles Treaty (Danzig) Haras de la Hetraie Fee: €6,000 Twice Group 1-placed in Europe at two, George Vancouver claimed victory at that level when shipping to Santa Anita to take the Breeders’ Cup Turf (G1). By Kingmambo’s son Henrythenavigator, a juvenile standout and dual Classic winner who has got off to a good start at stud, George Vancouver is out of Danzig’s daughter Versailles Treaty, a four-time Grade 1 winner in the US. Henrythenavigator has also sired the Group 1 winner Sudirman out of a mare by another Danzig line stallion, Desert Style (by Green Desert), so doubling up on Danzig is worth considering. There are also already two stakes winners for Henrythenavigator out of Nijinsky line mares (from daughters of Caerleon and Royal

The Group 1 Prix Jean Prat winner Havana Gold, who is standing at Tweenhills, is by the promising son of Galileo, Teofilo

new sires Academy), he also has a Group 1 winner out of a mare by Rainbow Quest and a stakes winner out of a mare by Arch (from the Roberto line). We would guess that adding Sadler’s Wells line horses, particularly Sadler’s Wells/Mill Reef might do well, and more Nureyev, or adding Fairy King could be positive. We’d also look for Northern Dancer/ Buckpasser, such as Try My Best (sire of Last Tycoon) or El Gran Senor.

Havana Gold

2010 Teofilo - Jessica’s Dream (Desert Style) Tweenhills Stud Fee: £8,500 We’ve looked at Dawn Approach, a member of the first crop of Galileo’s son New Approach, and now we have Havana Gold, who is from the second crop of another highly promising son of Galileo, Teofilo. A Group winner in Britain at two, he became one of five Group 1 winners sired by Teofilo when taking the Prix Jean Prat (G1). His dam was also a talented runner winning Group races in Ireland and Italy over sprint trips. Havana Gold is inbred to Danzig, but will supply that strain 5 x 5 in his offspring so a third cross, particularly through grandsons of that sire should not be an impediment. Grand Lodge and his son Sinndar, Anabaa and Zeiten are Danzig strains that have worked under Teofilo, but who are not in this pedigree. Teofilo has also sired a Group 1 winner out of a mare by Giant’s Causeway (Storm Cat) and enjoyed success with Blushing Groom, including Groom Dancer and Rainbow Quest/Quest For Fame. There are a pair of stakes winners out of mares by Diesis (brother to Kris), and one out of a mare by Nureyev, giving that horse with his three-quarters brother Sadler’s Wells.

Intello

2010 Galileo - Impressionante (Danehill) Cheveley Park Stud Fee: £25,000 Of the top-class three-year-old colts of 2013, none was more versatile than Intello. Undefeated in two starts at two, he might well have won the Poule d’Essaie des Poulains (G1) but for a less horrendous trip. Subsequently he won the Prix Messidor (G3) at a mile, the Prix Prince d’Orange (G3) over 1m2f and the Prix du Jockey-Club (G1) over

www.internationalthoroughbred.net

“

Lethal Force is out of a mare by the fast emerging influence Dark Angel (Acclamation), and he’s out of a half-sister to graded winner Louvain one mile and two and a half furlongs. He also ran big thirds in the Prix Jacques le Marois (G1) and the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe (G1). Bred on the most prolific stakes-producing cross for his sire – the same cross that produced Frankel and Teofilo amongst others – Intello is out of a Classic-placed and Group -winning daughter of Danehill. His second dam Occupandiste won the Prix de la Forêt (G1), and is from the immediate family of Dubai Millennium and Fort Wood, from the same sire line as Intello. Likely crosses here include the Shirley Heights line, particularly Darshaan and his sons Dalakhani and Mark Of Esteem; Blushing Groom, including Rahy and Rainbow Quest; Roberto, Ahonoora and Indian Ridge. We can also bring in Mr. Prospector through Kingmambo, Machiavellian, Dubai Millennium and Dubawi; Last Tycoon; as well as Danzig.

Joshua Tree

2007 Montjeu - Madeira Mist (Grand Lodge) Haras de Gastines Fee: TBA Joshua Tree’s record features an historic treble of wins in the Canadian International Stakes (G1), as well as the Royal Lodge Stakes (G2) and Prix Kergorlay (G2). His dam, a graded stakes winner, is out of a daughter of the Coronation Stakes (G1) victress Magic Of Life. Joshua Tree is likely to enjoy meeting up with many of the strains mentioned for Camelot. It would also be interesting to try mares with the Northern Dancer/Sir Gaylord cross and Northern Dancer/Secretariat cross, as found in the mare’s broodmare sire Grand Lodge and his own sire Chief’s Crown.

Lethal Force

2009 Dark Angel - Land Army (Desert Style) Cheveley Park Stud Fee: £12,500 Winner of the Hungerford Stakes (G2) at three, Lethal Force won the Cartier Award as leading sprinter for 2013 after taking the July Cup (G1) in a new course record, as well as the Diamond Jubilee Stakes (G1). Lethal Force is out of a mare by the fast emerging influence Dark Angel (Acclamation), and he’s out of a half-sister to graded winner Louvain. She is the dam of the Poule d’Essai des Pouliches (G1) winner Flotilla, the stake winners Flanders and is a three-quarters sister to Ascot Family, who is dam of the Group 2 winner Family One. Dark Angel has stakes winners out of mares by Indian Ridge (Ahonoora), Key Of Luck (by Chief’s Crown so from the Danzig line, which would double that strain, a possible positive), and Barathea, who is from the Sadler’s Wells line, as well as Docksider (Diesis). It is also worth bearing in mind that the Group-winning two-year-old Family One is out of a three-quarters sister to the dam of Lethal Force and is by Dubai Destination (Kingmambo).

Masterstroke

2009 Monsun - Melikah (Lammtarra) Haras du Logis Fee: €3,000 This talented middle-distance performer won the Grand Prix de Deauville (G2), the Prix Frederic de Lagrange by 12l, and also finished third in the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe (G1). Masterstroke is by the great German sire Monsun and out of the Irish Oaks (G1) runner-up Melikah, who is also grand-dam to the Group and Graded winners Vancouverite and Khawlah. The dam is also half-sister to Galileo and Sea The Stars. It has to be worth considering crossing Masterstroke back over mares by Galileo and his sons with Galileo’s brother Black Sam Bellamy or daughters of King’s Best, a three-quarters brother to Urban Sea, and the grand-dam of Masterstroke. Nijinksy and Blushing Groom, either separately or in combination appeal here, and can be introduced through strains such as Dansili, Sadler’s Wells, Danzig (particularly through Green Desert) and Kingmambo.

new sires Maxios

2008 Monsun - Moonlight’s Box (Nureyev) Gestüt Fährhof Fee: €10,000 A winner of five Group races, including the Prix du Moulin (G1), Prix d’Ispahan (G1) and Prix d’Harcourt (G2), Maxios is one of the more intriguing new sires of 2014, being by Monsun – an outcross for most European commercial strains – out of a mare who is a daughter of Nureyev and Coup De Genie. She was a champion two-year-old filly in France, a sister to Machiavellian and from the family of Danehill and Northern Dancer. Sadler’s Wells should do well here as should his brother Fairy King, while Monsun has worked through Northern Dancer via Danzig (including Danehill – who has obvious appeal here – Green Desert and Grand Lodge), Night Shift, Nijinsky (including Lagunas and Royal Academy) and Unfuwain. Machiavellian through sires such as Medicean and Street Cry might be intriguing, and we’ll also note that Maxios is a halfbrother to the European champion Bago (by Nashwan, a son of Blushing Groom) and the stakes winner Beta (Selkirk).

Planteur is by Danehill Dancer, while his dam is from the family of Policy Maker, Pushkin and Peintre Celebre

“

Most Improved

2009 Lawman - Tonnara (Linamix) Coolmore/Castlehyde Stud Fee: €6,000 A good third in the Dewhurst Stakes (G1), Most Improved took the St. James’s Palace Stakes (G1) at three. Most Improved is one of the best runners from the first crop of the Prix du Jockey-Club (G1) winner Lawman (Invincible Spirit), who also has the Group 1 winners Just The Judge and Law Enforcement in his second crop. He’s also a half-brother to the promising Ectot, winner of the Criterium International (G1) and a Classic hopeful for 2014. Lawman already has Lady Wingshot, who is a Group winner out of a mare by Sadler’s Wells, while Ectot is by Sadler’s Wells’s grandson, Hurricane Run (Montjeu). He also has a stakes winner out of a mare by Sadler’s Wells’s brother Fairy King, and another out of a mare by Soviet Star, who is by Sadler’s Wells’s three-quarters brother Nureyev. There are two Lawman Group winners out of mares by sons of Ahonoora (Inchinor and Indian Ridge), Just The Judge and Law Enforcement are both out of daughters of Rainbow Quest. His Group 2 winner Forces Of Darkness is out of a mare by Dr. Fong.

Most Improved is one of the best runners from the first crop of the Prix du Jockey-Club (G1) winner Lawman Pastorius

2009 Soldier Hollow - Princess Li (Monsun) Gestüt Fährhof Fee: €6,500 A Group winner at two, Pastorius was a European champion at three when he took the Deutsches Derby (G1) and the Grosser Dallmayr Bayerisches Zuchtrenne (G1). At four he won the Prix d’Ispahan (G1). Pastorius is by Soldier Hollow, a son of In The Wings, and out of a mare by Monsun. Soldier Hollow has done well with strains frequently found in his home country, including Surumu, Lando, Sternkoenig, Platini and Big Shuffle. He also has a stakes winner out of a mare by Halling (by Diesis from the Sharpen Up line) and one out of a mare by Storm Bird’s son (Bluebird).

Pedro The Great

2010 Henrythenavigator - Glatisant (Rainbow Quest) Haras de la Haie Neuve Fee: €3,000 Winner of the Phoenix Stakes (G1) at two, the extremely well-bred Pedro The Great is a halfbrother to Footstepsinthesand, and to the dam of Irish 2,000 Guineas (G1) victor Power. He will be suited by many of the same strains as his paternal half-brother and fellow French retiree George Vancouver, and we can also note Giant’s Causeway (sire of Footstepsinthesand), and Power’s sire Oasis Dream (sire of Power) along with Green Desert and any Blushing Groom/Nijinsky or reverse.

Penny’s Picnic

2010 Kheleyf - Zerky (Kingmambo) Haras du Hoguenet Fee: €3,000 Penny’s Picnic was a three-time stakes winner

new sires at two, with his wins including the Criterium des Maisons-Laffitte (G2) and Prix Eclipse (G3). His dam is a sister to the three-time Group winner Penny’s Gold, and is a grand-daughter of the outstanding mare Mrs. Penny. Sadler’s Wells, who is in the broodmare sire line of two Kheleyf stakes winners, should be good here, and the sire has worked over both Kris and Diesis branches of Sharpen Up, as well as Rainbow Quest, Night Shift and Elusive Quality. He is the sire of Elusive City, and by Gone West, who can also be brought in through Zafonic and Zamindar.

Planteur

2007 Danehill Dancer - Plante Rare (Giant’s Causeway) Haras de Bouquetot Fee: €6,000 A four-time Group winner over middledistances, including the Prix Ganay (G1), Planteur’s prospects have been given a timely boost by the bright start made by another son of his sire, Mastercraftsman. His other stallion son Choisir also enjoyed

a good 2013, while Fast Company’s stock did well at the yearling sales. Planteur is also well-credentialed on the distaff side of the pedigree: his dam is a halfsister to the Group winners Policy Maker, Pushkin and Place Rouge and from the immediate family of Peintre Celebre. Sadler’s Wells should be good here, as should his three-quarters relative Nureyev, which makes Peintre Celebre an intriguing option. Other broodmare sire lines that have worked under Danehill Dancer include Indian Ridge, Darshaan, Nijinsky (including through Caerleon, Kahyasi and Royal Academy, a close relative to Storm Cat, the grandsire of Planteur’s dam), and Blushing Groom through Rainbow Quest and Nashwan.

Reckless Abandon

2010 Exchange Rate - Sant Elena (Efisio) Kildangan Stud Fee: €10,000 Probably the fastest two-year-old of his crop, Reckless Abandon went five-for-five at two,

winning the Norfolk Stakes (G2), the Prix Robert-Papin (G2), the Prix Morny (G1) and Middle Park Stakes (G1). He’s by Exchange Rate, a US-based son of Danzig noted for getting speed and precocity. His dam is a stakes-placed half-sister to the Grade 1 winner Ticker Tape, and is out of a half-sister to the two-year-old Group 1 winner Rainbow Quest. The third dam is out of a graded stakes-winning three-parts sister to Storm Cat. Storm Cat is one obvious strain to introduce here, as is his close relative Royal Academy. Reckless Abandon has a double of Mr. Prospector, but it’s far enough removed that further additions are possible. Exchange Rate has crossed well over that strain, including with Gone West (available through Zafonic and Zamindar), his brother Lion Cavern and Street Cry, who is by Machiavellian, also the sire of Medicean. Reckless Abandon is doubled to the mare Native Partner, and a third strain of this family could be introduced through Mark Of Esteem.

Dalakhani’s son Reliable Man won Group 1 races in France and in Australia. This is him as a three-year-old, the picture taken when in training with Alain de Royer Duprè

new sires Red Jazz

2007 Johannesburg-Now That’s Jazz (Sword Dance) Ballyhane Stud Fee: €4,500 Red Jazz stayed in training until a six-yearold revealing admirable soundness and aptitude for racing, even picking up a Group 3 placing in his final year. Group 2 placed as a juvenile, Red Jazz won the Group 2 7f Challenge Stakes as a threeyear-old, was second in the Lennox Stakes (G3) at four, and was runner-up back in the Challenge Stakes at five. By Johannesburg, a son of the Storm Cat stallion Hennessy, his Northern Dancer cross is 5x4 so a far enough back to bring in most of those descendants. The best by his sire in the northernhemisphere has been Scat Daddy, a Group 1 winner our of a Mr. Prospector mare; Sageburg from a Linamix mare and Horai Akiko out of a Sunday Silence mare. Sons by the first named are represented in Europe in great numbers so it may pay to look at the best from Storm Cat, which involves Blushing Groom and sons Bailamont and Rahy, as well as Green Dancer, A.P. Indy and Kris S.

Reliable Man

2008 Dalakhani - On Fair Stage (Sadler’s Wells) Gestüt Röttgen Fee: €6,000 Reliable Man completed a unique feat of

combining a win in the Prix du Jockey-Club (G1) with an Australian Group 1 victory in the Queen Elizabeth Stakes (G1). Reliable Man is not only bred on a cross of two Classic sires, but is also out of a stakeswinning daughter of the Oaks (G1) and Irish Oaks (G1) heroine Fair Salinia. Reliable Man comes from a sire line that has crossed well with strains frequently found in Germany, and we can note Dalakhani has stakes winners out of mares by Lomitas, Tiger Hill, Dashing Blade and Platini (Surumu). Stakes winners for Dalakhani have also come from Danehill, Pivotal (a grandson of Nureyev, who appeals to combine with Sadler’s Wells). His sire Darshaan has also enjoyed success with Nijinsky and his three-quarters brother The Minstrel.

Saonois

2009 Chichicastenango - Saonoise (Homme de Loi) Haras du Mesnil Fee: €3,000 The champion French three-year-old Saonois is by the unlikely stallion success story, Chichicastenango, a great-grandson of Caro. There is not a tremendous amount to go on here, but we’ll note Garde Royale, the sire of the second dam of Saonois, is also broodmare sire of Chichicastenango’s Group 1 winner Vision D’Etat and of Group winner Chichi Creasy, who is also by the same sire. Playing into that background looks well worthwhile, which could mean more of

Society Rock (left) and Lethal Force shared the 1-2 three times in 2013: the son of Rock Of Gibraltar won the Duke Of York (G2), below, while Lethal Force was successful at Royal Ascot and Newmarket

Garde Royale’s sire Mill Reef; his relative Riverman (Chichicastenango has a Group winner and a stakes winner out of mares by Exit To Nowhere, a grandson of Riverman); Sadler’s Wells and Fairy King and Last Tycoon. His son Ezzoud is broodmare sire of a Chichicastenango Group winner. Northern Dancer/Sir Gaylord should work, including Grand Lodge, Green Desert, Shareef Dancer as well as Dancing Brave. Kenmare and son Highest Honor could be interesting.

Society Rock

2007 Rock Of Gibraltar - High Society (Key Of Luck) Tally-Ho Stud Fee: €8,000 Society Rock was a seriously good sprinter, his best wins including the Golden Jubilee Stakes (G1), the Betfred Sprint Cup (G1) and the Duke of York Stakes (G2). He has an interesting pedigree as he’s by Rock Of Gibraltar, a Danzig grandson whose second dam is a close relative to Riverman, while his broodmare sire Key Of Luck, is a grandson of Danzig with a second dam by Riverman. High Society was a speedy performer who won stakes in Ireland and the US and finished third in the Anglesey Stakes (G3). We’d probably stay clear of more Danzig, but Sadler’s Wells, who has done well under Rock Of Gibraltar, does appeal here. Mill Reef, who is in the male line of Rock Of Gibraltar’s Group 1 winner Eagle Mountain through Darshaan, should work. Other strains that have enjoyed success under Rock Of Gibraltar include Bering, Highest Honor, Indian Ridge, Night Shift, Rainbow Quest and Sharpen Up.

Sri Putra

2006 Oasis Dream - Wendylina (In The Wings) Haras du Saz Fee: €3,000 Winner of the Solario Stakes (G3) at two, Sri Putra subsequently showed that the distaff side of his pedigree played the greater part in his aptitude as he turned out to be a middle-distance performer. He won three more Group races, including the York Stakes (G2) and Prix Guillaume d’Ornano (G2), and he picked up placing in three Group 1 events, including when second in the Eclipse Stakes (G1). His dam is a half-sister to the Prix de Diane

www.internationalthoroughbred.net

new sires (G1) winner Caerlina, and out of a threequarters sister to the dam of over-achieving French sire Turtle Bowl. Sri Putra is out of a Sadler’s Wells line mare, and crossing back over that line appeals here, with High Chapparal one potentially particulary interesting source. Sadler’s Wells’s brother Fairy King and three-quarters brother Nureyev, have both worked under Oasis Dream. Another Mill Reef crosses – Daylami (sire of Arcano), Deploy, Doyoun and Mark Of Esteem – having also gone well with Oasis Dream and may prove positive. Other broodmare sire lines that have

worked well with Oasis Dream include Efisio, Sharpen Up (including Selkirk and Halling), Ahonoora, through Indian Ridge and Inchinor, and Linamix. Selkirk and his son Kirkwall are broodmare sires of Oasis Dream’s leading sons Main Aim, Monitor Closely, Dux Sxholar and Gale Force Ten. We could also bring in Mr. Prospector through Kingmambo, who looks interesting as he is the broodmare sire of one of Oasis Dream’s best in Midday. Naaqoos is out of a broodmare by Machiavellian, while Rainbow Quest is broodmare sire of Aqlaam.

Style Vendome

2010 Anabaa - Place Vendome (Dr Fong) Haras de Bouquetot Fee: €12,000 A Listed winner at two, Style Vendome added three more black-type wins at three. He is by one of the best French stallions of recent times in the son of Danzig, Anabaa, and out of a stakes-placed mare. She has also produced Prestige Vendome, a 2013 twoyear-old stakes winner, who finished third in the Criterium International (G1). Style Vendome does have Sadler’s Wells in

new sires the fifth generation, but reintroducing that strain could be worthwhile; Galileo and High Chaparral are particularly interesting sources. Doubling Riverman, who is also present here should be good, and Dubawi is another that intrigues.

Swiss Spirit

2009 Invincible Spirit - Swiss Lake (Indian Ridge) Whitsbury Manor Stud Fee: £4,500 The son of Invincible Spirit collected a trio of Group sprints, taking the King George Stakes (G2), Temple Stakes (G2) and Dubai International Airport World Trophy (G3). By the sire of hot young stallion prospect Lawman, Swiss Spirit is out of Swiss Lake, a two-time stakes winner and runner-up in the Flying Childers Stakes (G2) at two. She is also dam of the stakes winners Swiss Dream and Swiss Diva, and of Swiss Franc, who very nearly upset Henrythenavigator in the Coventry Stakes (G2). Swiss Spirit’s half-sister Swiss Diva is by Pivotal, so that strain has obvious appeal, while Invincible Spirit is sire of Mayson, who is out of a Pivotal mare. Others to have done well under Invincible Spirit include Mr Prospector through Machiavellian (Hooray is out of Hypnotize a daughter of the former leading sire), Miswaki (broodmare sire of Born To Sea), Gulch (broodmare sire of Lawman), Kingmambo (through King’s Best, the dam sire of

Swiss Spirit: is by Invincible Spirit out of the Indian Ridge mare Swiss Lake, who finished second in the Flying Childers Stakes

www.internationalthoroughbred.net

Ektihaam, as well as Lemon Drop Kid), Zafonic, Zamindar and Seeking the Gold. Blushing Groom can also be brought into play as Rainbow Quest is broodmare sire of Spirit Quartz, Pursuit Of Love and Spectrum, dam sire of Invincible Spirit’s leading filly Moonlight Cloud. Nijinksy, including through Green Dancer/ Green Tune and Royal Academy, is also worth considering.

Universal

2009 Dubawi (IRE) - Winesong (Giant’s Causeway) Yorton Farm Stud Fee: £2,500 Universal retires to stud as a winner of three Group events, including the Princess of Wales’s Stakes (G2) and Jockey Club Stakes (G2). He’s out of a Giant’s Causeway daughter who is a half-sister to the Cheveley Park Stakes (G1) winner Seazun. Universal is by Dubawi, and will have many of the same preferences as Al Kazeem.

Westlake

2004 Sadler’s Wells – Rainbow Lake (Rainbow Quest) Hedgeholme Stud Fee: £2,500 This Juddmonte Farms-bred son of Sadler’s Wells is a ten-year-old and has found himself a late place at stud due to the recent activities of his siblings – his half-sister is none other than Kind, the dam of Frankel. He is also a half-brother to the

dual Group 1 winner Powerscourt, the Group 1 runner-up Last Train (the best by Rail Link) and last year’s Ribblesdale Stakes winner Riposte. The family has been working well with Sadler’s Wells and Galileo and the usual winning crosses for the two champions could be brought into play here, obviously the hugely successful nick of Danehill, the sire of Kind, and his descendants – Dansili has already done well with this family through Riposte. Joyeuse, the 2011 Oasis Dream foal from Kind, is already a Listed winner and Group 3-placed so bringing the Danzig and Green Desert tribes.

Worthadd

2007 Dubawi - Wigman (Rahy) Irish National Stud Fee: €6,000 Another Dubawi, Worthadd earned a title as champion three-year-old and champion miler in Italy after winning the Premio Parioli (G2), Premio Ribot (G2) and Derby Italiano (G2). He also proved his international credentials at four and five, adding the Premio Carlo Vittadini (G2), the Badener Meile (G2) and taking second in the Lockinge Stakes (G1). His dam is a half-sister to the dam of Deutsches Derby (G1) victor Dai Jin, while his third dam is Northern Dancer’s excellent daughter White Star Line, a three-time Grade 1 winner. The “Dubawi” comments apply once more, while it also worth bearing in mind Peintre Celebre or Shirley Heights mares, the cross that produced Dai Jin.

unproven sires

Taking an educated

risk...

Though it might be advisable to use a proven sire, financial constraints mean that breeders often have to look to the ranks of unproven sires – it requires homework...

s any breeder will tell you, producing horses is a punters’ game; the risks are immense and the likelihood of getting a good one slim. That is true even if you are using a proven sire; if you are patronising a sire yet to prove that he can pass on any genetic ability, it is educated guesswork. Unfortunately, this is frequently the choice that must be taken by breeders as the services of those sires who haves stakes winners on their resume, come at a price; the greater gamble of using a stallion yet to have any runners may be the only route that can be taken. And again this gamble has differing risk levels attached according to the point reached in a stallion’s cycle – breeders can be covering mares in his first year or before any earlier crops has been born, before a yearling is sold

unproven sires or a two-year-old has run. Hence, the gamble: hit it right and select to cover your mare with an unproven, secondseason sire whose initial foal crop is later well received that autumn then the gamble could be worth taking. The same is true if you are covering with a third-season sire – his first crop of yearlings will be selling whilst your mare is carrying to him. Of course, the biggest gamble is to cover with a third or fourth year sire, who will be having his first runners that or the following season. If he fails to get many winners, or any winners of quality, by the time you come to offer your foal or yearling, the market could well have completely dried up for his stock, particularly if it is perceived that he should be a getter of early, juvenile types and no excuses can be made for him. Conversely, get the right one, one who gets lots of winners and good ones, and you could make a real killing at the sales. Sales history is littered with sires who have both disappointed once their runners have made it to the track, and surprised even the most astute of bloodstock judges.

“

Of course, the biggest gamble is to cover with a third or fourth year sire Lord Shanakill: both his first crop sold well as both foals and last autumn as yearlings

Industry opinion “Generally the closer a stallion’s produce is to running the more risk there is breeding to an unproven stallion until he proves himself. “The industry is so critical that conversely the less we have seen i.e. no foals, the better. They are what I call “unopened packages”, maiden mares who are in-foal for the first time and stallions with their first mares in-foal. “No one then has anything negative, apart from fertility, to talk about! Mares sold in-foal to Frankel averaged over 1,000,000gns... will his first foals and yearlings do the same?” Ted Voute, Voute Sales “Using second and third-season stallions is more of a gamble than first-season or proven sires, but if this is reflected in a reduced covering fee. “Sometimes you can get really good value and go on to make a good hit in the sales ring.” Joe Foley, Ballyhane Stud “There are three questions to ask. First, has the unproven stallion a proven sire line? Second, did he possess a serious turn of foot over a mile or less and, most importantly, was he genuine and did he demonstrate a will to win? “If the answer to these questions is yes, then using him whilst unproven gives you a serious chance of achieving value in a tight market place. “As a rule, first-season sires and proven sires offer least value due to a saturated market.” David Redvers, Tweenhills

Hence, it is important to be aware of the sales trends of unproven stallions – catch the right boat at the right time and money could be made. Time and judge it wrongly and you could be looking to give away your youngster, rather than sell it. Although the market can get it spectacularly wrong and is frequently influenced, particularly in Britain, by the attractions of early-looking, precocious juvenile types, it can be dramatically swayed by a summer’s course of events and the strength of a stud farm’s PR and political needs, as a generality, those professionals buying horses sales in and sale out, year out and year in, know what looks like a racehorse from the start. An appreciation of the market is just as important for those looking to breed to race as well as those looking to sell. First, there is always a time when you need to send your stock to the sales, and if a sire’s stock look like

unproven sires mini racehorses then that it obviously hugely important to the market, but then also to your own racing activities. However, although stats and figures can lend a guide, there is no substitution to getting to foal sales yourself, getting a feel for the stock being produced, and understanding who is buying foals by a certain sires â&#x20AC;&#x201C; whether it be bloodstock agents, pinhookers, professionals, stallion farm associates or if the crop is proving attractive to the market at all.

Of course, it is also necessary to bear in mind the need to establish your broodmare â&#x20AC;&#x201C; she will be looking a weak breeder if four years down the lines a poor choice of young sires has not helped establish her as a producer of winners or stakes horse. Stallion fees should reflect not only the bigger risk involved using a stallion closer to his first runners hitting the racecourse, but also if his first foals and yearlings have caused only ripples rather than waves in the market.

As ever it is judgement call, but for those who argue that only proven sires should be used on younger mares are rather blinked to economic realities. Frequently, those stallions who you would consider using and who have had runners, are too expensive. And what is the point of using a cheaper proven sire, but who is producing dismal stats, unless you have a deeper reason behind your patronage?

Trouble in paradise

Despite the French racing system being the envy of many, France Galop faces a deficit of €20 million from 2013. The way forward not only looks difficult, but finding a solution is leading to political debate, writes Jocelyn de Moubray Bertrand Bélinguier (left), president of France Galop needs to make some tough decisions that are certainly not going to please all of the French racing fraternity. With him is Thierry Delegue (centre), the CEO of France Galop, and Jean d’Indy, vice president Photo: aprh

www.internationalthoroughbred.net

etrand Bélinguier, the President of France Galop, has not been spotted making nocturnal outings on a motor cycle, but, like France’s own President, Bélinguier’s management has come under fierce criticism in recent months. A change of managing directors at the end of October was followed in early November by a high-profile strike by France Galop’s own employees leading to the postponement of the Group 2 Criterium de Maisons-Laffitte. At the same time a series of cost savings were announced only to be discarded

french racing and changed for a new solution following discontent and lobbying. At the time of writing France Galop is on to its third proposal, and the latest is not sure to be accepted either. Aside from how to make up a short-fall in its 2013 budget, France Galop has also to decide soon whether or not to go ahead with the €160 million project to redevelop Longchamp. Another similarity between France’s presidents is that Bélinguier, unlike his predecessors, has to respond not only to the established and heavily subsidised traditional racing press, but also to a thriving internet debate, which in racing has been from the digital daily Jour de Galop, to pressure groups such as Generation Galop and Paris Province to new websites such as the Cercle Tourbillon, which prints articles. All attract extensive commentaries from, largely anonymous, racing professionals. Different and detailed accounts of France Galop’s committee meetings are posted on-line within hours, and so decisions, how they are taken and who is for and against them, are now more or less in the public domain. France’s elite and its decision makers have not been, in general terms, used to working under such public scrutiny. In France, as everyone who has ever considered the question knows, things are different, and very definitely not the same as in britain. In many ways French racing, viewed from across the Channel, appears to be prosperous, stable and successful. In 2012 prize-money distributed for Flat and jump racing in France was about €190 million, compared with the equivalent to €140 million in Britain. If premiums for owners and breeders and travel subsidies are included then €270 million was distributed in France, nearly double the British total. The quality of French racing may have some weaknesses, but then every region or country has its specialities, and overall recent years have been good with horses such as Treve, Moonlight Cloud and Intello taking high places in international rankings. Arqana recorded a record turnover at its sales in 2013 of more than €100 million. We could easily go on as it is not difficult to find statistics which put French racing and breeding in a positive light, but this is not at all the feeling which comes over speaking to professionals, nor is it what is being said on the internet.

“

I want to see the best horses rewarded, but whatever is decided we still have a fantastic racing system in France “There is no reason to exaggerate the situation,” analyses Henri Bozo, manager of the Haras des Monceaux and one of the leading figures in Generation Galop. “Of course I want to see the best horses rewarded, but whatever is decided we still have a fantastic racing system in France which is envied all over the world. “There is excellent prize-money and, for instance, the two and three-year-old maiden races are worth more than in other European countries.” Bélinguier’s problem, as is the case with Hollande, is that in politics or political matters, trends count for every bit as much as absolutes. Or, to put it another way, however good things are, people are not going to be happy if they are getting worse. For French racing the problem is that after a long period of sustained growth the PMU’s turnover has stalled, it grew by less than one per cent in 2013; France Galop needs a new strategy. For years France Galop has added as many meetings as are physically possible to those covered by the PMU, and taken many more from all over the world to show on Equidia, the racing channel, to attract turnover. The number of races in France has not expanded dramatically – Flat racing’s total is up 10 per cent over ten years – but what has changed is the number of meetings and races televised on Equidia and proposed to the PMU’s customers. In the past, provincial racing in France was just that – it took place out of the spotlight, off the radar of the PMU and out of notice of most of those who followed French racing from abroad. Today many of the meetings covered by Equidia are in the provinces and the money on offer is more or less the same, whether it is at Longchamp or Marseilles. France Galop announced that it will have a deficit of €20 million in 2013, and the

moment it began to look for cost savings the arguments really began. The first was over travel subsidies. The total distributed has doubled from €4 to €8 million per year over the last ten years, however proposed changes to the system soon led to a conflict and a race meeting had to be abandoned after numerous last-minute withdrawals. The next attempt was an announcement that France Galop would be reconsidering the future of the racecourse and training centre of Maisons-Laffitte, which led in its turn to a strike on the day of Maisons-Laffitte’s

biggest raceday, and a climb down as France Galop hastily took closure of the track off the agenda. At about the same time Hubert Monzat, who had been managing director of France Galop since 2008, left his post to be replaced by Thierry Delegue. Delegue had worked for many years at France Galop and had been considered as a likely successor to Louis Romanet, but things turned out differently and he left the institution to, amongst other things, set up his own bloodstock agency Yes, whose clients include Sheikh Mohammed Al Thani.

french racing During his time as an independent agent Delegue bought and raced in partnership the Group winner Penny’s Picnic and, for Sheikh Mohammed, he purchased the Breeders’ Cup and Poule d’Essai des Pouliches winner Flotilla, as well as last year’s champion two-year-old Vorda. The next attempts to save money focused on the premiums given to the owners and breeders of French-qualified horses. Logically the sums given out every year are on an upward trend and in 2013 went over budget by some €800,000. The premiums are supposed to be an incentive – as Jean-Claude

Rouget amongst others has pointed out the percentages will have to be reduced as more and more of those who race in France choose to have qualified horses. Over ten years the total given out in owners’ premiums has risen by 56 per cent to €27 million in 2012. France Galop announced it would reduce the percentage of prize-money given out in premiums to the owners of older horses, only to retract a few weeks later to announce that instead it would cut in half the owners’ premiums given in Group 1 races. This, too, caused a strong reaction from those concerned and so the latest proposal, announced at the beginning of January, is to keep the premiums as they are and instead raise all entry fees by 20 per cent.

ntry fees in France are low by international standards, but this will not stop those most affected, and in particular the large number of owner/trainers in France, from being angry about this sudden change in their daily costs. Over recent weeks much of the conversation or argument has focused on premiums and the percentages of prize-money given out to different categories of horses. The owners and trainers of generally modest horses fought to preserve the more than €10 million distributed to horses aged five or more, while those with Group 1 ambitions wanted to keep premiums in these races. Bozo is clear where he stands on this question. “I would like France Galop to understand that racing is an international business,” he says. “France cannot have a separate system and so, above all, we need to reward good horses and young horses.” There are those who see all this noise as distraction from the real question. “The premiums are, of course, important,” says Eric Puerari of the Haras des Capucines, “but this debate

“

France Galop has had its head in the sand for a long time and has not even considered the fundamental problems masks the real problem, which is that French racing needs to create value. “French racing will always need to attract foreign owners and to do that we need do everything possible to increase the quality of the best races, and the commercial value they create.” There are other professionals who believe the premium system itself needs to be more carefully considered. “Have the premiums helped to create a thriving stallion business in France ?” asks Michel Henoschberg, a past president of the French Breeders’ Association. “The answer has to be no as we do not appear to be any closer to having a selection of internationalstandard stallions in France, and several new names who might have stood in France are going instead in 2014 to either England or Germany.” For Henoschberg the real problem lies elsewhere. “France Galop has,” he maintains, “had its head in the sand for a long time and has not even considered the fundamental problems. “Now its model for growth has reached its limit France is left with too many PMU meetings in too many different places and so the punters are as fed up as the professionals and there is no sign of new French owners.

“

France is a big country which is run with a centralised system and in many ways French racing would be better suited to something closer to the Japanese model “If you look carefully, nearly half of all horses in France are owned by trainers, many of whom were losing money before the rise in entry fees. “France is a big country which is run with a centralised system and in many ways French racing would be better suited to something closer to the Japanese model than the English one. In France we have lost any sense of special racing days, and they have all become mundane.” France’s racing professionals are equally divided over the projected €160 million redevelopment of Longchamp, which Bélinguier appears determined to pursue. Yorton ITB 1-2p Jan-Feb-14:Layout 3

And with the change in some of the location of a number of late-season Longchamp pattern races it appears that provision is being made for the revamp. “We need to be ambitious for Longchamp,” argues Bozo, “it is the showcase of French racing and needs to be brought up to date. “I would like there to be more consultation between France Galop and racing professionals on the details of the project, but overall I am very much in favour.” The opposing point of view is that the project is poorly thought out, the new stand has a capacity of 20,000-30,000, which will still feel empty on a quiet mid-week day and 9/1/14

yet will not be big enough for the weekend of the Arc, which is far and away the most important of the year for French racing. And then, those against ask, does it really make sense in a difficult economic climate to spend all of the reserves France Galop has accumulated over 20 years in one go? In England the major renovation of Ascot or Cheltenham was undertaken when both venues were already very successful at attracting customers and sponsors and their Festivals were bursting at the seams, which is not really the case for Longchamp today. It is far easier to be president of a large institution during a period of growth; arguments about who gets what share of new income are always going to be less acrimonious than those over who should lose their part of a shrinking cake. Everybody agrees that the French tend to complain and are rarely ready to admit to being happy or even content with the way things are, but Bélinguier and France Galop are going to have to take decisions and none of the important ones are going to be easy or universally popular ones.

Beating the odds

Jocelyn de Moubray selects those European-based stallions who have been registering particularly impressive statistics

ontinental Europe is one of the hardest places to establish a stallion. For as long as nearly everyone involved in breeding thoroughbreds can remember the best mares in both France and Germany have travelled abroad to be covered, and remarkably few go to neighbouring countries. Despite the costs involved, most of these travelling mares ended up being boarded and covered in either England or Ireland. A quick look at the statistics included here shows that many of the most successful stallions in France began their stud careers elsewhere: Motivator, Elusive City, Orpen, Sinndar, Whipper and Myboycharlie among

many others. The few French sires who began their careers in France and have succeeded in making a mark have done so largely thanks to the support of their owners. Kendargent, Sageburg and Le Havre fit into this category and if people say that their best winners were bred by Guy Pariente, Jean Pierre Dubois or Gerard Augustin Normand, it is hardly surprising as few other breeders sent these sires good quality mares in their first years at stud. German breeders have largely given up importing proven or used stallions, but these figures show clearly that even the best stallions in Germany cover books of mares which are small by international standards, and very few mares even from France, let

The statistics Sample size is obviously important for any set of statistics based on percentages. For stallions, percentages are of little importance as the market assesses stallions on their high-class progeny; the more of those there are the less the ordinary ones count. However, if you do look at percentages it is probably only sensible to compare stallions with a similar number of progeny. There are no obvious pointers to future success as there will always be exceptions to any rule you might think of. High-class stallions will end up with more than three per cent of their foals rated 110 or higher and once they have enough support, more than 10 per cent rated 95 or higher. The very best, the Galileos or Monsuns, record stats at 10 per cent and 25 per cent. As for first-season sires or two-yearold statistics it is even harder to draw correct conclusions. First-season sires with more than 40 per cent winners to runners more often than not turn out to be good sires, as do those with more than 20 per cent of their runners rated higher than 95. Interestingly, though, neither Galileo nor Dansili managed to achieve either of these benchmarks as first-season sires.

european stallions exception and he, too, started off covering small books of domestic mares. This is how things have stood for decades: for every Linamix, Anabaa or Monsun who made it the top with their owner’s mares, there have been 100s of stallions who struggled to attract support and were never able to establish an international or commercial reputation. There are, however, signs that this familiar pattern may be about to change. The success of Monsun’s progeny and other German-bred horses in England and France, but above all in Australia and Japan, appears to have changed the dynamic of German breeding. The select yearling sale in Baden-Baden last September followed the overall European upward trend, but the big change was that this time the leading buyers came from Japan, the US and Australia as well as from Europe. The Hong Kong Jockey Club didn’t attend the 2013 sale, but the Soldier Hollow colt it had purchased in 2012 was one of the top European-bred lots at its breeze-up in December 2013.

...for the first time in decades, four top international performers are retiring directly to stud in Germany for 2014, three of whom never raced in Germany

There seems to be a wider and more diversified demand for German-bred horses, and this had better prove to be the case as, for the first time in decades, four top international performers are retiring directly to stud in Germany for 2014, three of whom never raced in Germany, and all of whom made their reputations racing successfully against the best international competition. Pastorius won the Prix Ganay as well as the Deutsches Derby and finished fourth in Frankel’s farewell Champion Stakes. Maxios won both the Prix d’Ispahan and the Prix du Moulin; Reliable Man thrashed It’s A Dundeel to win the Queen Elizabeth Stakes at Randwick, as well as winning the Prix du Jockey-Club and finishing close up behind Danedream and Nathaniel in the King George, while Dabirsim was the best two-year-old in Europe in 2011. These are four very high-class colts who could, if they have some early success, easily stand anywhere in Europe, and their arrival in Germany will certainly change the market there. There are only 850 foals born every

european stallions year in Germany and so if all four are to have a chance they will have to attract mares from France and further afield. Initially, at least, the most popular of the four German-based newcomers in France appears to be Dabirsim, which is not surprising given recent trends in French breeding. France Galop may be determined not to change the structure of racing and to continue giving away millions in premiums to moderate older horses, but France’s commercial breeders are not interested any longer in producing for the shrinking domestic market. There has been overproduction in the French commercial market for some years now and the preferred solution for those breeders who struggle to sell is either to send their mares to be covered abroad, or to use those stallions in France likely to produce fast, precocious horses. Most of those French sires, who have covered large

“

The Haras de la Cauvinière has become in the space of only four years one of the busiest stallion farms in Europe books in recent years, fall into this category. Two other significant changes in France have been the arrival of stallions owned by the Al Thani family. Al Shaqab Racing will stand Style Vendome and Planteur in 2014, while Sheikh Abdulla Al Thani has retained shares in French Fifteen, who has retired to

the Haras de Logis Saint Germain. Of more immediate impact has been the arrival of new commercial stallion farms, which have succeeded in attracting large numbers of mares to new stallions. The Haras de la Cauvinière has become in the space of only four years one of the busiest stallion farms in Europe as its three sires covered almost 400 mares in 2013. In a few years’ time France’s two-yearold races are going to be full of the progeny of La Cauvinière’s stallions. Kendargent’s achievements are, of course, miraculous, but the Haras de Colleville, a new stud, has adapted quickly and he, too, has covered a lot of mares recently. The Haras de la Hetraie has also made its mark very quickly. Zambezi Sun made an excellent start with his first two-year-olds in 2013 and the stud’s Silver Frost has his first runners in 2014, when George Vancouver joins its roster.

AREION

KENDARGENT

2003 Kendor – Pax Bella (Linamix) Haras de Colleville €15,000 This stallion’s remarkable success shows no sign of slowing down. His daughter Kenhope was among the best fillies of her generation and will continue her career in the colours of Cyrus Poonawalla having been sold for €900,000 at the Arqana Arc sale. His latest tiny two-year-old crop produced another good one in Kenzadargent, who was Group placed on her first start in the colours of Martin Schwartz. Kendargent will not have a lot of runners until 2015, but the success he has had from ordinary mares has been, and looks set to continue to be, remarkable. Kendargent’s progeny continues to break all the statistical rules

www.internationalthoroughbred.net

1995 Big Shuffle – Aerlona (Caerleon) Gestüt Evershorst €8,000 Areion has taken a very long time to attract support, but he has more than 60 two-year-olds for 2014 and with so many German-trained horses now running in France, he could at least attract support from there. He is an excellent sire of two-year-olds and tough middle-distance horses.

KALLISTO

1997 Sternkoenig – Kalinikta (Konigsstuhl) Gestüt Röttgen €3,000 Another elderly stallion who covers few mares, but who consistently gets high-class runners. Nordvulkan finished third in the Deutsches Derby and Si Luna won several stakes races. There were also some promising Hurricane Run had an “outstanding” season in 2013

two-year-olds, including the impressive debut winner Cornettus and Weltklasse who was one of several fillies who couldn’t cope with the heavy ground on the day of the Winterkonigin.

SOLDIER HOLLOW

2000 In The Wings – Island Race (Common Grounds) Gestüt Auenquelle €12.000 He looks as though he could develop into a top-class sire. He gets fast and precocious horses, as well as top class middle -distance performers such as Pastorius, and then Ivanhowe, the disappointing 2013 German Derby favourite. He could easily come back and win Group 1 races as a four-year-old. Darley was the only international buyer of his best yearlings in 2013, but he will get more international success in the future.

The best of the others.... MOTIVATOR

2002 Montjeu – Out West (Gone West) Haras du Quesnay €15,000 The son of Montjeu has always had good figures, but his lack of runners and, above all, the lack of big-name winners from his first two crops, led to his fall-out of favour in Britain. In addition, Motivator is not really a supplier of two-year-olds, which the British market demands. In France, he has had a second chance and he covered a lot of mares in 2013 and will do so again in 2014. It is unlikely that he will produce another as good as Treve – there are not many like her – but with the support of the Al Thani family he has a bright future, even without any three-year-olds running for him in 2014.

Anabaa & Place Vendome (Dr Fong) NEW in 2014: €12,000 Live Foal

HURRICANE RUN

2002 Montjeu – Hold On (Surumu) Gestüt Ammerland €9,000 He has returned to his breeder’s farm in Germany after proving to be sub-fertile in Ireland, but his fourth and smallest crop to date looks to be an outstanding one as it includes several Classic prospects, headed by the champion Ectot. Other very promising Hurricane Run two-year-olds in 2013 included Bunker and Windshear, both trained by Richard Hannon, the André Fabre-trained Golden Guepard and the German-trained filly Veligandu. Hurricane Run has had a similar type of stud career to Motivator, but will be very popular as long as he succeeds in getting a good proportion of mares in-foal.

european stallions ORPEN

1996 Lure – Bonita Francita (Devil’s Bag) Haras du Thenney €6,000 The son of Lure had looked to be finished in the northern-hemisphere after his first two French crops made little show, but his third crop of French two-year-olds included the champion Vorda and two other top-class two-year-olds in Prestige Vendome and Ombrage. He will cover plenty of mares in 2014 and, with the right mares, he can clearly produce high-class runners. He is a top sire in Argentina.

First-season sires of 2013 LE HAVRE

2006 Noverre – Marie Rheinberg (Surako) Haras de la Cauvinière €7,000 Le Havre made a very promising start indeed with first two-year-olds. He had plenty of winners and, aside from the stakes winner La Hoguette and the unbeaten Avenir Certain, had a string of horses who won or placed in the best Paris allowances races running against some the best bred horses in Europe. Le Havre ranks high among all of the first-season sires in Europe and looks very likely to go to become a successful stallion.

ZAMBEZI SUN

2004 Dansili – Imbabala (Zafonic) Haras de la Hetraie €4,000 A Group 1 winner from an excellent and fast Juddmonte family, he had only a handful of runners but, a little surprisingly maybe, had four good winners, including one at Maisons-Laffitte, as well as several usefullooking performers. He could make a mark as, although it is only a small sample, his statistics look very good.

Redoute’s Choice is back again for a second stint at Haras de Bonneval

Sires without runners REDOUTE’S CHOICE

1996 Danehill – Shantha’s Choice (Canny Lad) Haras de Bonneval €70,000 Redoute’s Choice has the highest profile of any Australian sire who has shuttled to Europe and he has returned for a second season in France. The southern-hemispheres sires have certainly been a big success commercially in the northern-hemipshere, but we also know from experience that very few indeed are successful in both zones. Redoute’s Choice was strongly supported in his first European season by the Aga Khan, as well as many of Europe’s leading breeders. He almost certainly covered the best book of mares assembled in France for decades and so breeders will be keen to follow behind such quality.

Figures up at Magic Millions

Waterhouse topped proceedings spending over A$8 million

ai Waterhouse’s dominance of Australian racing has continued into the sales scene as the Sydney-based handler rounded off the Magic Millions Gold Coast Yearling Sale (Sessions 1-4) as the sale’s biggest buyer, spending more than A$8 million on 39 lots. Her purchases included the sale-topping A$1 million Redoute’s Choice-Hades colt. Her total spend, alongside associate James Harron Bloodstock, was A$8,160,000; Star Thoroughbreds spent A$2,542,500 on 20 yearlings, all of which will go into training with Chris Waller, while Round Table Racing, also working with

Harron, spent just over A$2 million on 15 horses. In December Star Thoroughbreds announced that Waller would be training all of the syndicate’s yearlings; formerly all of its horses were trained by Waterhouse. All of the Round Table purchases, however, are to join Waterhouse, who has received over 50 yearlings from the sale. Round Table is run by Bruce Slade, former racing manager to Waterhouse. Waller himself bought 10 yearlings for a total outlay of over A$2,300,000. The sale-topping colt was sold by Newhaven Park to Jon and Sarah Kelly of California. It was the US businessman’s first

purchase at Magic Millions. “He is probably the nicest young colt in the sale,” Kelly said. “He has a great shoulder and hip on him. He might go as far as a mile. He needs to grow a little bit, but he has all the goods. “He is from a beautiful mare so he is very well bred and he meets the criteria that I set up for acquisitions, so I am very pleased to buy him,” he added. Underbidders were Damion Flower and Gerald Ryan. Magic Millions managing director Vin Cox said he had been a great friend of the US-based Kelly family for some years. “It gave me great personal satisfaction with the sale of the colt to Jon and Sarah, you could

The Newhaven draft at the Magic Millions Gold Coast Yearling Sale sold 21 lots for an aggregate of A$3,325,500, and an average price of A$158,357. Its top seller was the million dollar top lot. The farm was the sixth-leading vendor by aggregate

say I was even a little emotional,” said Cox, before adding: “Jon had promised to come to a Magic Millions sale and I was so glad he came and was able to find such an outstanding colt who will stay in Australia and race with Gai Waterhouse.” Just minutes after the colt was led out of the ring it was the turn of Milburn Creek’s Fastnet Rock filly from Headway to get the reporters writing when she sold to Coolmore’s Tom Magnier for $700,000. John Muir’s Milburn Creek Thoroughbreds team offered the filly on behalf of Tony and Deslee Santic’s Makybe operation. “She is just a lovely filly and we are lucky to have her and all we need now is a bit of luck,” said Magnier. “The lads had seen her around the farm and we saw her here. She was a standout, all the right people liked her.” The filly is due to also join the Waterhouse team. Newhaven also sold the third top-priced lot, a filly by More Than Ready, for A$600,000 to Ellerslie Lodge and Bryce Heys. “Vendors presented an outstanding draft of yearlings that sold well above expectations,” said Cox. “The market was very strong and it was also very consistent. “The buyers were willing to participate across all levels of the market and that created a magical vibe.” Although the top price was less than in 2013, the Redoute’s Choice colt is just the third horse to sell at the sale for a seven-figure sum since the 2010 sale. Figures were up on all parameters, alongside a very solid clearance rate of 87 per cent.

Financial resolution some way off for Inglis and investors in“Jimmy”

immy, the halfbrother to Black Caviar and the most expensing yearling ever sold in the southernhemisphere, lost his battle for life at the end of last year when he was euthanased after contracting laminitis (see page 94). A spokesman for the University of Melbourne Equine Centre at Werribee, where the yearling had spent the last two months of his life, described the disease as “depressingly difficult to overcome’’. The colt was purchased at the 2013 Inglis Easter Sale by the collapsed BC3 Thoroughbreds, which was run by Bill Vlahos. The colt has never been paid for and in December Inglis Bloodstock repossessed the horse after Vlahos failed to honour a number of deadlines.

Dato Yap Kim San’s 2010 European bloodstock buying mission reaping rewards 84

The BC3 syndication outfit is under administration and receviers are examining just how many owners have paid money for their shares in the horse. Jimmy’s breeder, Rick Jamieson, who sold the colt, retained a 10 per cent share in the horse. It will be a legal minefield for those investors, both large and small, who paid their money to Vlahos over the last eight months, but whose money was never passed on to Inglis. The sales company now stands to recoup its $5 million outstanding debt from the insurance payment, though it also faces a bill of $40,000 for veterinary costs. However, it could be hugely difficult to work out where the insurance money is to be allocated, once the underwriters pay out the $5 million policy

The impressive debut win of three-year-old filly El Sagrado (Azamour-El Laoob (Red Ransom)) at Ruakaka in January has its roots in British bloodstock. Although listed as a three-year-old by southern-hemisphere time, the Azamour filly is northern-hemisphere-bred having foaled in England in March 2011 and been exported to New Zealand shortly afterwards. El Sagrado is out of the stakes-placed Red Ransom mare El Laoob, one of several broodmares purchased by Malyasian owner Dato Yap Kim San at the Tattersalls December Sale in 2010 when he was acquiring well-bred European mares for his broodmare band at Raffles Farm in Cambridge, New Zealand. El Laoob was bought for 110,000gns by Mulcaster Bloodstock. She is a half-sister to Big Maverick, a multiple Listed performer in Singapore, and from the family of the French Group 3 winner Turning Wheel. When purchased El Laoob was already dam of Pachattack, then a dual Grade 3 winner in the US. The Pulpit filly went onto become a Grade 1 runner-up in the Spinster Stakes subsequent to Yap’s purchase. Yap’s biggest win as an owner, so far, has come courtesy of Sacred Falls (O’Reilly), the winner of the New Zealand 2,000 Guineas (G1) in 2012 and the Doncaster Mile (G1) last year. He is now trained in Australia by Chris Waller, transferring to the stable in February 2013.

this year to probe into BC3 Thoroughbreds and the private investment company Noble Edict before reporting back to creditors. That time limit has been extended. “’What we’re finding is that Bill has made some promises to people and they’re not coming out,’’ said BC3 chief executive Craig Cameron. “We’re still trying to work out if they’re creditors or not; that’s why we need some more time,’’ he added. Vlahos was allegedly beaten up and a car set on fire at his property on December 9, days after he was called before the New South Wales Supreme Court to explain the whereabouts of $194 million allegedly held for the punting club Noble Edict in a non-existent bank account. Staff told police they believed Vlahos’s injuries were self-inflicted and that fuel used to ignite the car came from the property. Vlahos claimed he could not produce emails and spread sheets relating to his collapsed punting club “The Edge” because they were stored on a laptop destroyed in the fire.

Exceed And Excel joins the G1 club as a broodmare sire

Star New Zealand filly Bounding gave Exceed And Excel his first Group or Grade 1 winner as a broodmare sire in January. The Lonhro filly is out of Believe ‘N’ Succeed, a Group 3 winner from the first crop of Exceed And Excel. Bounding was already twice a runner-up at the highest level, including when second in the New Zealand 1,000 Guineas on her previous start. She is a sixth Group 1 winner for her sire. Bred by Michael Birchall, Bounding is the first foal out of her dam, a sister to the Group 2 winner Kuroshio and the Listed winner Agulhas.

Hitting the top

Karaka 2014 promises to be a block-buster

ew Zealand thoroughbreds punch well above their weight on the international scale, with the boutique breeding nation producing an abundance of quality winners around the world on a regular basis. Modest by size, New Zealand produces less than 4,000 foals per season, and across Australasia accounts for about 20 per cent of the auctioned yearling crop. With the hugely competitive Australian scene on its doorstep, New Zealand makes up less than six per cent of Australia’s racing crop, yet the Kiwis won 20 per cent of Australia’s Group 1 races last season, with more Group 1-winning graduates of any sales company in Australasia. New Zealand’s Group 1 victories last season came in New Zealand, Australia and Hong Kong. Known in those parts as a rich source of middle-distance and staying horses, New Zealand-bred horses feature most prominently in the prestige Classic and cups contests, winning half of the last 50 Group 1 Melbourne Cups, and five of the last seven Group 1 Cox Plates, revered as the weight-for-age championship of Australia. Hong Kong’s competitive environment is a hotbed of New Zealand success throughout the season, including at the annual International Meeting which attracts some of the best gallopers from around the world. New Zealand-bred and/or sold horses have an imposing record in the Group 1 Hong Kong Mile – the richest mile race in the world – winning the last four consecutive events. Europe has had a taste of what New Zealand thoroughbreds can do with So You Think (High Chaparral) winning five Group 1 races in a stellar dual hemisphere career that tallied 10 Group 1 races, including a victory at Royal Ascot. At the same Royal Ascot meeting, Little Bridge (Faltaat) won the Group 1 King’s Stand Stakes for his Hong Kong connections. New Zealand Bloodstock’s upcoming National Yearling Sales

Series – also known as “Karaka 2014” – is the predominant sale of thoroughbreds in New Zealand. A large selection of over 130 of the best sires from Australia and New Zealand are represented across three catalogues that will see nearly 1,400 yearlings offered over six days. Among the array of stallions are proven shuttle sires who are successful in both hemispheres, along with champion racehorses with their first crops of yearlings hitting the sale ring this year. International sires have a rich history of success down under with stallions such as Montjeu, Cape Cross, Prized, Rhythm and Tale Of The Cat all enjoying Group 1 success with progeny from their New Zealand crops.

Legacy of the big two

Montjeu left Group 1 winners such as Wall Street and Tavistock during his tenure at Windsor Park Stud and his line carries on with Nom du Jeu and Tavistock now promising young sire prospects in New Zealand. Cape Cross left dual Horse of the Year Seachange, whilst Rhythm left Ethereal, the last horse to win the Group 1 Caulfield/Melbourne Cup double in the same year.

High Chaparral: southern star

Coolmore Stud shuttle stallion High Chaparral (Ire) has an affinity with New Zealand where he stood for his first five southernhemisphere seasons before transferring to Coolmore Australia. From his first southern-hemisphere crop he produced four Group 1 winners, including So You Think. From his last New Zealand crop High Chaparral left another champion racehorse in It’s a Dundeel, the winner of five Group 1 races to date. At Karaka 2014, High Chaparral will be represented by 22 yearlings in the Premier Sale.

Tell us a bit about yourself and Curraghmore...

I was brought up in County Waterford in Ireland and first came to New Zealand in 1984. I had been working on studs in Ireland and Kentucky, but I loved New Zealand and saw opportunities here. I started in New Zealand as farm manager at Waikato Stud in 1987, and bought Curraghmore in 1994. We are based in the Waikato dairying region and the farm is 280 acres. Our main farm at Ngahinapouri is almost the “engine room” of our operation – it is where we foal down, carry out all the breeding season work, wean the foals and prep the yearlings for sale. Our second farm, in the Te Awamutu countryside, is where our youngsters are

turned at pasture; it is where they grow and develop; it is a truly beautiful environment. The name Curraghmore comes from Ireland – at Port Law, near to Waterford, is Curraghmore House and Gardens. It is a beautiful place and when I was at home I always thought it would be the perfect place to raise horses. When I bought the farm here it was the obvious name to use. The first farm was 160 acres and we added a further 112 in 2008 when we bought Te Awamutu. We provide all the services as expected by a stud farm, we keep our stocking density low and we look for quality rather than quantity. We look to give our horses the best start in life and I feel that has been integral to their ongoing successes.

Stravinsky: 16 lots on offer at Karaka 2014

Another successful shuttle sire is Stravinsky, the sire of six Group 1 winners in New Zealand along with Group 1 winners Benbaun, Balmont and Solider’s Tale internationally. The Cambridge Stud shuttle stallion has 16 yearlings in the Premier Sale, including a daughter of multiple Group 1 winner Lashed (Encosta De Lago).

Iffraaj: dual hemisphere sire

Developing sire Iffraaj is making his mark in both hemispheres through the likes of Group 1 and Grade 1 winners Chriselliam, Wootton Bassett and Rizeena, whilst in New Zealand he has produced New Zealand Bloodstock Filly of the Year Fix from his first crop. Iffraaj has 50 lots catalogued at Karaka 2014.

Young sires well represented

The oldest NZ crops of young sires Mastercraftsman and Thewayyouare are just two-year-olds and have already produced winners. Mastercraftsman has sired a stakes-winning two-year-old, whilst Thewayyouare is the sire two individual winners from only four race day starters. Mastercraftsman is represented by 52 yearlings at Karaka 2014 and Thewayyouare has 19 lots catalogued.

New names on the roll call

The Group 1-winning first season sires Makfi, Rip Van Winkle and Paco Boy have their first southern crops entering the sale ring at Karaka 2014. Dual Group 1 winner Makfi has 39 lots catalogued, world champion miler Rip Van Winkle has 71 lots due to sell and triple Group 1 winner Paco Boy has 12 entries.

Last chance for a Zabeel purchase

Karaka 2014 will see the last significant crop of breed-shaping sire Zabeel go through the Karaka sale ring. Zabeel sired his 1,000th individual winner last year, a feat only accomplished by one other

Gordon Cunningham

modern day sire in Sadler’s Wells. Zabeel was the champion sire in New Zealand four times and twice in Australia. He has sired 43 individual Group 1 winners, including three Group 1 Melbourne Cup winners, three Group 1 Caulfield Cup winners and four Group 1 Cox Plate winners. In recent times his influence as a broodmare sire ensures his legacy will continue, being the dam sire of 22 individual Group 1 winners and crowned champion broodmare sire twice in both Australia and New Zealand. Zabeel’s retirement was announced late in 2013 with the sire only producing five foals from his last crop – and only one of those foals is likely to be seen in at a sale. He has 30 yearlings catalogued this year. In addition to former shuttlers such as Galileo, the New Zealand sale also offers a unique selection of the best stallions standing in Australia including Fastnet Rock, Redoute’s Choice, Choisir, Commands, Encosta de Lago, Flying Spur, and Exceed And Excel.

Young sires well represented

New Zealand Bloodstock’s National Yearling Sales Series comprises three separate sale sessions: the Premier, Select and Festival Sales. The Premier Sale (January 27-28) features world-class pedigrees and some of the best yearlings of the Australasian crop. The Premier Sale of 469 lots will see the progeny of over 110 stakes winners go under the hammer along with siblings to over 100 stakes winners. The three-day Select Sale has a growing reputation as a value sale that delivers exceptional results, with eight individual Group 1 winners last season alone. These eight Group 1 winners cost an average of less than NZ$90,000, yet collected NZ$8 million in prizemoney between them last season, an average of over $1 million each for the year. This year 613 yearlings are catalogued in the Select Sale (January 29-31). The catalogue has plenty of depth with 70 siblings to stakes winners and 44 offspring of stakes winners. The last session sees 290 lots sold in a bumper one-day Festival Sale (February 2) in which pinhookers and bargain hunters will be on the lookout for a value buy to return a fast profit.

There were other good winners from this draft, including Rahveel, who was placed in both the Wakeful Stakes and Edward Manifold at three. Our most recent key winners from the farm include the Australian Metropolitan winners – Shelford, Settlers Way and Freshwater Storm. Blizzard was also a close second in the Group 2 Championship Stakes at Ellerslie on New Year’s Day. Leading graduates from previous years include Fairway, a champion three-year-old in Australia and the winner of the Australian Derby (G1), Efficient, a champion stayer in Australia whose three Group 1 victories included success in the Melbourne Cup, Rollout The Carpet, a Holy Roman Emperor filly who won the New Zealand One Thousand Guineas and the Galileo AJC Spring Champion (G1) winner Sousa. There is also Liberator, the Encosta De Lago gelding who became a champion stayer in Hong Kong after he won the HKJC Standard Chartered Champions & Chater Cup (G1), Veloce Bella, a six-time Group winner whose biggest success came in the Waikato RC International Stakes, the Group 1 winner Velocitea, as well as Iflooxcouldkill, the champion New Zealand two-year-old of 2003-04.

“

We had a great sale last year and we are hoping that we can repeat the feat this time around I think we breed success and people are very happy to come and buy from us. We were thrilled with the sale of last year’s top lot – the Fastnet Rock colt out of Celebria, who fetched NZ$1,975,000, as well as the sale of a filly by the same sire for NZ$700,000 to Bart Cummings. We were leading vendor by aggregate and average and it was the first time that Cambridge Stud had not been leading vendor by aggregate at the Premier Sale in 31 years! Our average price was NZ$356,428 for 21 lots sold. We had a great sale last year and we are hoping that we can repeat the feat this time around.

Tell us a little about this year’s draft?

I feel we have a terrific draft for the Premier Sale this year, with seven or eight by Fastnet Rock. Amongst those there are three extremely well-bred colts, including the colt out of Randaaro. She was a very high-class US mare – a multiple Graded race winner and a

Grade 1 runner-up. In my estimation, he’s a top colt. There is another good colt out of the Irish Group 3 runner-up Barathea mare Festival Princess. She is from the family of Ransom O’War. There is also a very good colt out of a mare called Vegas Showgirl, who was a leading filly in New Zealand. We’ve two or three fillies by Fastnet Rock, two of them out of Galileo mares – a first foal out of Dragons Tail, who is from the family of Fly To The Stars, as well as a second foal from Memories Of You. She is a daughter of the Nureyev mare Most Precious, who was twice Group 1 placed in France, and is dam of the Poule d’Essai des Pouliches winner and Prix de Diane second, Matiara. It is the further family of Sanglamore. There is also the Galileo filly out of Queen Of Spain. She is obviously a very well-bred filly and the exciting young sire Mastercraftsman, who is a half-brother to Queen Of Spain, has shuttled down here. This filly is a good athletic type. We are also offering five colts by High Chaparral, who is a leading sire here. High Chaparral is represented in the catalogue by some really top horses, and from Curraghmore, I really rate highly the colt out of Alagant Satin. I think he is an outstanding type, full of quality and is a stand out. We have a good draft and, hopefully, the market will see it that way and come back to buy horses from us as it did in 2013.

Curraghmore is in the beautiful Waikato dairy region of New Zealand: Cunningham is justifiably proud of his high achieving farm and its stock

laminitis update

Laminitis....

...is a dreadful disease, and has, sadly, recently been too much in the news. It is often triggered as a response to the trauma of surgery or medical treatment; we examine the science behind its causes and some of the latest thoughts on treatment

s any horseman will tell you laminitis is the most horrible and painful aliment for any horse to have to endure. As a child you are led to believe that it only affects overweight, grass-guzzling ponies, but the problem is as prevalent in horses, and frequently the end result of an unrelated issue.

Sadly, within the last six months, two high-profile thoroughbreds suffered from the affliction, with the disease claiming the life of one and probably contributing to the recent death of the other “Jimmy”, the Redoute’s Choice yearling half-brother to the 25-start unbeaten wonder mare Black Caviar and who cost A$5 million as a yearling, sadly succumbed to the disease

over the Christmas period. Bitten by a spider, he developed laminitis after reacting to the corticosteroid used to treat the swelling. A reaction such as this is a rare, but not an unknown side affect to use of the drug. In the autumn, it was revealed that the wonderfully consistent and genuine fivetime Group and Grade 1 winner St Nicholas Abbey had developed the condition, which was described in press releases as “lifethreatening”. The three-time Coronation Cup winner had initially fractured pastern in training, which was operated on twice. After the second bout of surgery, two days later he developed colic, a second challenge for the son of Montjeu to face. He then had to face a third challenge as in October changes on x-rays were being seen by the Fethard Equine Clinic. “Things went pretty well through the late summer and early autumn but as we went into October we began to see some radiographic changes on the x-rays we were taking of that left front foot,” reported surgeon Tom O’Brien MVP Dip ACVS. “We could see that the coffin bone or pedal bone, which is the bone enclosed in the hoof capsule, was beginning to move, St Nicholas Abbey suffering from laminitis.” Sadly, although progress had been very good for St Nicholas in the end he succumbed to a last bout of colic. Colic, alongside the stress of surgery, as well as a general weight-bearing on the leg opposite to one with problems, can all lead to laminitis – any one of the three issues could have led to the issue.

What is laminitis?

The hoof wall is made up of an interlinked outer insensitive layer (horn) supported by

laminitis update an underlying inner sensitive layer (laminae). In laminitis, the blood flow to the laminae is affected, resulting in inflammation and swelling in the tissues within the hoof, and severe pain. As the laminae are starved of both oxygen and nutrient rich blood, the cells become damaged. Unless the cause is removed and treatment is started immediately on the first signs of the condition, the sensitive laminae begin to die. The laminae are responsible for supporting the pedal bone in the hoof and thus the weight of the animal. In severe cases of laminitis the pedal bone can sink and rotate due to the inability of the damaged laminae to support it and from the pull of the deep digital flexor tendon. If the pedal bone sinks too far it can be seen to protrude from the sole of the foot. In most cases this is irreversible.

Causes of laminitis

Carbohydrate overload: Current theory believes that if a horse is given grain in excess or eats grass that is under stress and has accumulated excess non-structural carbohydrates (NSC, i.e. sugars, starch or fructan), it may be unable to digest all of the carbohydrate in the foregut. The excess then moves on to the hindgut and ferments in the cecum, which can cause a proliferation of lactic acid bacteria and an increase in acidity. This process kills beneficial bacteria, which ferment fibre. The endotoxins and exotoxinsmay then be absorbed into the bloodstream, due to increased gut permeability, caused by irritation of the gut lining by increased acidity. The result is body-wide inflammation, but particularly in the lamina of the feet, where swelling tissues have no place to expand without injury to other structures. Nitrogen compound overload: Herbivores are equipped to deal with a normal level of potentially toxic non-protein nitrogen (NPN) compounds in their forage. If for any reason there is rapid upward fluctuation in levels of these compounds, for instance in lush spring growth on artificially fertilized pasture, the natural metabolic processes can become overloaded, resulting in liver disturbance and toxic imbalance. For this reason, many horsemen avoid using artificial nitrogen fertilizer on horse pasture. If clover (or any legume) is allowed to dominate the pasture, this may also allow

â&#x20AC;&#x153;

Laminitis can sometimes develop after a serious case of colic, due to the release of endotoxins into the blood excess nitrogen to accumulate in forage, under stressful conditions such as frost or drought. Many weeds eaten by horses are nitrate accumulators. Direct ingestion of nitrate fertilizer material can also trigger laminitis, by a similar mechanism. Lush pastures: When releasing horses back into a pasture after being kept inside (typically during the transition from winter stabling to spring outdoor keeping), the excess fructan of fresh spring grass can lead to laminitis. Ponies are much more susceptible to this than larger horses. Frosted grass: Freezing temperatures in the autumn also coincide with outbreaks of laminitis in horses at pasture. Cold temperatures cause growth to cease so that sugar in pasture grasses can not be utilised by the plant as fast as it is produced, leading to an accumulation in the forage. Cool season grasses form fructan, and warm season grasses form starch. Sugars cause increase in insulin levels, which is known to trigger laminitis. Fructan is believed to cause laminitis by causing an imbalance of the normal bowel flora leading to endotoxin production. These endotoxins may exacerbate insulin resistance, or the damage to the lining of the gut may release other as yet unidentified trigger factors into the blood stream. Insulin resistance: Laminitis can also be caused by insulin resistance in the horse. Insulin resistant horses tend to become obese easily and, even when starved down, may have abnormal fat deposits in the neck, shoulders, loin, above the eyes and around the tail head, even when the rest of the body appears to be in normal condition. The mechanism by which laminitis associated with insulin resistance occurs is not understood, but may be triggered by sugar and starch in the diet of susceptible individuals.

Ponies and breeds which evolved in relatively harsh environments, with only sparse grass, tend to be more insulin resistant, possibly as a survival mechanism. Insulin resistant animals may become laminitic from only small amounts of grain or â&#x20AC;&#x153;high sugarâ&#x20AC;? grass. Slow adaptation to pasture is not effective, as it is with laminitis caused by microbial population upsets. Septic or toxic focus: i.e. pneumonia, pleurisy, diarrhoea, colic (particularly following colic following surgery), purulent metritis, or the retention of placenta in foaling mares. Laminitis can sometimes develop after a serious case of colic, due to the release of endotoxins into the blood stream. Effective treatment of the initiating cause must be accomplished before improvement in the laminitis can be expected. Bacterial, viral, plant, chemical, and fungal toxins have been implicated. Trauma / Mechanical: Fast or prolonged work on hard surfaces. Jumping ponies in summer, running racehorses on firm ground and inadequately fit endurance horses are at all high risk. Overzealous foot dressing, improper shoeing causing sole pressure. Following a non-weight bearing lameness, the contralateral limb may founder. Iatrogenic: The administration of corticosteroid drugs to susceptible or stressed animals can induce laminitis. Although corticosteroids do not induce laminitis every time they are used, there is a real risk to their use. Corticosteroid-induced laminitis usually rapidly progresses to acute founder or sinking. The administration of long-acting corticosteroids, such as triamcinolone and dexamethasone, to fat ponies to treat sweet itch is particularly dangerous. Even mixtures of drugs containing corticosteroids can cause laminitis. Stress: Any stress prolonged travelling in hot (or cold) conditions, anthelmintic treatments or vaccination may result in laminitis in some animals. Certain cream treatments for the treatment of sarcoids seem to be related to the onset of laminitis and founder.

Treatment

Initial treatments are obviously focused on controlling the pain and reducing the inflammation. Once the inflammatory/ metabolic issues have been resolved, mechanical treatments can be required to

In the foot the maggots eat all the dead tissue,

the dead foot, hoof and any necrotic-infected tissue stablise the foot, if it has rotated. Stabilisation can take many forms but most include trimming the hoof to facilitate “break over” and trimming the heels to ensure frog pressure. The application of external orthotic devices to the foot in a horse with nondisplaced laminitis and once displacement has occurred is widespread. Most approaches attempt to shift weight from the laminae and onto secondary weightbearing structures, while sparing the sole. Of interest have been two treatments recently in the news. St Nicholas Abbey was given maggots to remove necrotic tissue, disinfect surrounding areas and stimulate healing, while in Australia a long-suffering laminitic pony has been shod with titanium shoes produced by a 3-D printer. In the US, veterinarians have also been examining the use of stem cell therapy for treatment.

Maggot therapy

St Nicholas Abbey’s foot was treated with sterile maggots, which had been bred in a laboratory specifically for medical therapy. Their use for distal limb infections in horses was popularised by Scott Morrison DVM of Rood and Riddle Equine Hospital, Lexington, Kentucky, who was involved as a consultant on St Nicholas Abbey’s laminitis treatment. “We obtained medical grade maggots,” says Tom O’Brien, one of the the surgeons at the Fethard Equine Centre, “and enclosed them in St Nicholas’s foot cast. In the foot the maggots eat all the dead tissue, the dead foot, hoof and any necrotic-infected tissue.” Progress in early January was reported to be positive, and it was felt that the maggots had been effective in bringing the issue under control. New growth was seen in the foot, near the coronet band and at the sole of the hoof. Not only do the maggots gorge themselves on dead tissue at the infection site, but they have the added benefit of excreting an antibacterial saliva. In laminitis and other cases of reduced blood supply, adequate antibiotics are not brought brought to the required area

www.internationalthoroughbred.net

for treatment and maggots in this instance can be especially effective. It is also believed that the saliva of the maggots may also have a growth-factor-like substance in it. According to Hoofcare Publishing, Dr Morrison credits his use of maggots to watching a TV medical documentary; the vet became intrigued with the idea of using maggots in the hoof capsule, particularly for complications of laminitis. “For a case of chronic laminitis with poor blood supply, therapy could take months,” he advised. “We use drains to keep the wound tract open so that granulation tissue won’t grow in and trap the infection – and the maggots – inside the hoof.” A technique of Dr. Morrison is to “cast” the hoof and then cut a “window” into the cast to access the hoof wall. Maggots are applied, removed, and replaced through the window. “The horses can get painful after a few

Sadly, although St Nicholas Abbey responded well to his laminitis treatments, in the end it was colic that claimed his life

days,” Morrison warns. “The maggots grow in size, they’re moving around, and you’ll notice an ammonia smell – the smell of maggot excretion – which may be irritating to the horse as well.”

3-D Shoes

Through the autumn ground-breaking Titanium lightweight shoes were made using 3D-printing technology for an Australian racehorse dubbed “Titanium Prints” by researchers at the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO). After that successful debut use on the racehorse, veterinarian and farrier, Luke Wells-Smith, BVSc, from the Equine Podiatry and Lameness Centre in New South Wales, started to think about using 3-D shoes to rehabilitate lame horses. The concept developed in time to use the new technology this December on Holly, a pony who has suffered from laminitis for three years. She took the first steps in her new 3-D printed titanium shoes, custom-designed to fit her hoof, over the Christmas period. The team of 3-D printing experts from CSIRO worked with horse podiatrists to scan Holly’s hoof and design the “horsethotic”, which aims to support the hoof and

Stem cell therapy

For some time the veterinarians and podiatrists at Rood & Riddle have been testing stem cell therapy’s efficiency as a treatment for laminitis – he hospital’s access to a large stem cell bank, combined with a high caseload, has created the ideal scenario for studying this cutting-edge treatment. Recently, it has been investigated whether stem cell therapy could help stabilise chronic laminitis cases and, if so, during what time period stem cell administration is most effective. Vernon Dryden, DVM, CJF, APF, presented the results at the 2013 International Equine Conference on Laminitis and Diseases of the Foot. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) are unique in that they are pluripotent i.e. they can differentiate into multiple types of cells, including those that make up bone and connective tissue. Previous research had shown that stem cell therapy can help improve the quality of healing in some tendon lesions, and it is hoped that this will be repeated and repair laminar damage, so stabilising the coffin bone. In severe cases of coffin bone displacement

laminitis update and rotation, horses can develop a “laminar wedge” between the rotated and/or sunken coffin bone and the toe of the hoof wall. This wedge is comprised of poorly organised and irregular laminae that provide little structural integrity to the hoof/coffin bone interface. Many veterinarians believe the laminar wedge develops within the first 30 days of laminitis, accompanied by coffin bone displacement. These types of laminitis cases, said Dryden, are some of the most difficult to treat. Depending on the severity of the disease, multiple traditional treatments (e.g. therapeutic farriery, deep digital flexor tendon transection, hoof casts) might still be unsuccessful in stabilising the bone and tissues. “Despite great efforts, many chronic laminitic cases heal with poor quality laminae or are so unstable that the horse is euthanised,” Dryden said. Dryden and colleagues examined the cases of 30 horses, from two-year-olds to 20-year-olds, who were admitted to Rood & Riddle between 2010 and 2012 with chronic laminitis. All underwent MSC therapy, in addition to routine treatment. Each horse received 20-30 million MSC per affected foot at one-month intervals, averaging three to four treatments. Dryden reported that he and his colleagues administered allogeneic (harvested from a different horse’s body) MSC derived from the hospital’s umbilical cord blood bank for the first treatment, followed by autologous (from the horse’s own body) bone-marrow-derived MSC for the following treatments. Ongoing it is recommended using autologous MSC, researchers believing it to be safer. Dryden and his colleagues classified each

It was found that: • Of the 30 cases, 21 (70 per cent) were successful; • Of the 18 sinkers, 15 (83 per cent) were successful; • The sooner the horse received MSC treatment, the better: the median time to first treatment was 71.5 days. For horses treated sooner than 71.5 days, 87 per cent (13/15) were successful. For horses who were treated after 71.5 days, 53 per cent (8/15) were successful. • The younger the horse, the greater the chance of success: median age was 11. For horses younger than 11, 82 per cent (14/17) were successful. For older horses, 50 per cent (6/12) were successful. • If a laminar wedge had already formed before MSC treatment, the team saw little reduction in the hoof laminar zone (HLZ). For horses who were first treated after 90 days, 17 per cent (2/12) had improved HLZ, while horses who were first treated before 90 days, 69 per cent (11/16) improved. • Horses with severe bone disease showed no improvement in HLZ. “Like anything, the earlier the treatment, the better the outcome,” Dryden noted. MSC therapy shows most usefulness within 30 days of the laminitic insult, before the laminar wedge forms. “The majority of these cases have healed with a decreased distance between the bone and hoof wall. “But this is by no means a magic bullet,” said Dryden. “These horses could not have responded otherwise without traditional treatments.” Further studies are to evaluating the quality of tissue post-treatment.

Gaye Chatelaine (Castle Keep) Dam of: Dare Me

ex Artist’s Design (Precipice Wood) ex Artiste Gaye (Artist’s Son)

he“Gaye Brief” pedigree did not produce a top-class winner over the holiday period, and perhaps it can be argued to have failed to do so for sometime, but it manifested itself in the success of Annie Oakley, a six-year-old daughter of Westerner, out of Artist’s Design and the winner of a handicap hurdle for Jessie Harrington on January 11 at Punchestown, and then in Dare Me’s win in the Betfred Mobile Handicap Chase for the Edward Courage Cup for fellow female trainer Venetia Williams. The victory led jockey Aidan Coleman to proclaim that the ten-year-old gave him one of his best rides over fences ever. Dare Me is out of Gaye Chatelaine (Castle Keep), who is a daughter of Artist’s Design (Precipice Wood) and a grand-daughter of Artist Gaye, the dam of the six black-type performers Gaye Brief, Gaye Chance, Artistic Prince, Royal Gaye, Black Humour and Gaye Melody, the dam of the Grade 3 winner, Simon. Gaye Brief, bred by PP Sweeney, was easily the best of the sextuplet and has been one of the most talented horses ever seen over hurdles. He also held the distinguished honour of being the last horse bought by legendary jockey-turned-trainer Fred Rimell as an unbroken three-year-old store horse in 1980. A champion trainer five times, Rimell died in July 1981, sadly never getting to see his purchase on the racecourse. Through his time as a racehorse trainer he became the first to break the million-pound barrier in prize-money earnings in one season, trained

the winner of the Gold Cup four times, two Champion Hurdlers and two Gold Cup winners, the first being Woodland Venture’s success in 1967 under the recently deceased Terry Biddlecombe, also a multiple winning champion jockey With the training licence transferred on her husband’s death to wife Mercy, Gaye Brief debuted and won that November at the Hereford racecourse, which has sadly also been lost to us. It was to be a first of 17 career victories for the son of Lucky Brief, of which a further three were gained in his novice campaign, highlighted by an easy success in the Panama Cigars Final at Chepstow. In 1983, in just his second season as a hurdler, the Sheikh Ali Abu Khamsin-owned Gaye Brief won the Champion Hurdle, then a Listed race, ridden by jockey Richard Linley, the triumph preceding a defeat of Dawn Run in the Templegate Hurdle at Aintree. The mare got her revenge the following winter when she reversed places in Kempton’s Christmas Hurdle. The Champion Hurdle triumph earned Gaye Brief a Timeform rating of 175, and the accolade as one of the top 12 best-ever hurdlers ever seen on a British or Irish racecourse. The highest-rated hurdlers are Night Nurse at 182, Istabraq and Monksfield, both at 180

secret. He really was a great horse.” In 1984 Gaye Chance, a full-brother to Gaye Brief, maintained the family Cheltenham form when taking the Stayers’ Hurdle (now the World Hurdle). In total, Artiste Gaye produced 12 winners of 65 races: Artistic Prince won the Listed John Jameson Cup Chase and ten races,

Royal Gaye was the winner of eight races including the Listed Royal Doulton Hurdle, while Black Humour, a son of Buckskin and trained by Charlie Brooks, succeeded 12 times with a Listed victory in the Northern Trust Opal Novices’ Hurdle and a second in the Martell Cup Chase being career highlights. Artiste Gaye’s unraced daughter Gaye

espite a persistent back problem, Gaye Brief remained a force at the highest level, and finished fourth to See You Then in the 1985 Champion Hurdle and second to the same horse the following year. Towards the end of his career, he became a leading stayer, winning four times at Ascot, including the Long Distance Hurdle in both 1986 and 1988. Rimell said after the horse died: “He was all quality; he was excellent. The day he won the Champion Hurdle he was a very good horse – nothing would have beaten him. He had speed and yet he stayed, that was his

...it has to be hoped that Gaye Chatelaine can be the one to maintain this illustrious Gaye Brief family’s presence in the Stud Book Memory, a sister to Black Humour, produced just two winners from eight runners, the best being Simon, who was bred by Rimell. A son of Overbury, he was twice led out unsold as a store horse at Doncaster before he began his career in Irish point-to-points and hurdle races. After some promising early-career runs he transferred to Britain to be trained by John Spearing, finding his forte in staying chases, preferably run on soft ground. He won the Racing Post Chase, a Grade 3 race, in 2007, beating Cornish Sett and Lacdoudal. Artist’s Design, the grand-dam of Dare Me, did not produce a black-type winner herself, but her daughters did, headed by Myra Gaye (Buckskin) whose best offspring was Afistfullofdollars. Despite being another who failed to sell as a store horse in 2001 and 2002, the son of Be My Native won five bumpers, three hurdle races, 11 chases and eight point-to-points. His win in the Grade 2 Bobbyjo Chase came on only his fourth run over fences (despite being a ten-year-old) and at the expense of the former Grand National winner Hedgehunter. The leading performer for Artist’s Design’s 1987 daughter Artist Jewel (Le Moss) was The Next Man, a son of Fourstars Allstar, whose career took a radically different path. After being purchased by Ted Walsh at the 2002 Derby Sale for €41,000 on behalf of owner Barry Connell, the gelding was

exported to the US after he failed to finish in the first third of the field in six runs in Ireland. Once stateside, his performances improved – he won once and twice finished second in Listed events. Perhaps an unlikely career outcome for one hailing from a family predominately made up of staying chasers and hurdlers. Gaye Chatelaine was bought as a foal by a cash buyer (a form of purchase no longer allowed to be recorded) for Ir14,000gns in 1993. She managed to run three times with a fourth placing in a bumper her best result. She has had five runners, with Dare Me her best both as a performer and as a sales horse. A son of Bob Back, he was bought for 52,000gns in 2007 by Highflyer Bloodstock for trainer Philip Hobbs and owner Trevor Hemmings. After he won his first two bumpers, he finished sixth in the Championship event at The Festival behind Cue Card and then second in the Grade 2 Aintree bumper to Megastar.

wo opening wins followed over hurdles along with a rating of 135, and although he managed a third in handicap company behind Sire De Grugy, subsequent efforts in Grade 3 and Listed company found him wanting. Not being deemed of the required quality by his owner saw Dare Me being sent to the Brightwells Cheltenham Sale in May 2012, where he was picked up by trainer Venetia Williams for just £10,000. After a second on his debut over fences at Ludlow, he fell in the Grade 2 Noel Beginners’ Chase at Ascot before finishing second, third, second and first in novice chases last spring. His jumping was not inspiring in most of those outings with post-race comments including “he does not seem to be progressing over fences at present” and “a small mistake halted progress, there is a small race in him over fences”. Dare Me’s January Warwick win, his

seasonal debut for the 2013-14 season, is by far his best performance over fences or hurdles. Unavoidably he has received a hike in his BHA handicap mark, going up to 140 from 127 for his efforts; life will be considerably more difficult in future for him. Gaye Chatelaine has bred three bumper winners in total, and in June 2012 her Presenting three-year-old was sold to Paul Duffin for €30,000. Now named Some Tank, he has yet to run. She slipped her 2010 Flemensfirth foal and for the next two years was married to Presenting, getting May-born colts in 2011 and 2012. She is due this spring to the Grange Stud’s dual Group 1-winning Monsun stallion Getaway. With Dare Me Set to progress – if his jumping keeps to standard – and youngsters by the Rathbarry former champion sire due to come on tap in the next few seasons, it has to be hoped that Gaye Chatelaine can be the one to maintain this illustrious Gaye Brief family’s presence in the Stud Book. With two fillies already breeding (one unraced and one the winner of a bumper) and the bumper winner Emily’s Princess (Flemensfirth) due to produce her first foal this spring by Arctic Tack Stud’s Arcadio (Monsun), there should be every chance that the family can maintain its standing. And with a Robin Des Champs colt foal out of daughter Gaye Roberta sold for €37,000 to Abbeylands Farm at the Tattersalls Ireland November National Hunt Foal Sale, the seventh-best price for one by the sire from a 23-strong draft, the commercial prospects look reasonably bright too.

photos of the month: two we lost in January – Terry Biddlecombe and St Nicholas Abbey

Above: Henrietta Knight (left) with Edredon Bleu, Lord Noelie, Terry Biddlecombe and Best Mate, taken at West Lockinge Farm by Trevor Jones on January 31, 2002. Two months later Best Mate, originally spotted in an Irish point-to-point by Biddlecombe, who described the son of Un Desperado as “poetry”, had won the first of his three Gold Cups. Lord Noelie went onto finish third in that year’s Aintree Martell Cup (G2) behind Florida Pearl, while Edredon Bleu, a career winner of 25 races and already the winner of two Grade 1 events by the time this shot was taken, collected the King George (G1) in December 2003. Right: St Nicholas Abbey winning the Coronation Cup in 2011. The son of Montjeu won six Group and Grade 1 races and sadly died from colic after an extensive hospitalisation period after suffering from a fractured pastern sustained in training. 128
