Farewell Frankel
Paul Haigh says goodbye to the “best thoroughbred who ever lived”
Trainer Sir Henry Cecil gives his superstar Frankel a pat after the horse had his last canter up Warren Hill behind his loyal half-brother and pacemaker Bullet Train
T
here have been doubts in recent years about the general strength of the thoroughbred breed. Some of us have wondered aloud about the presumed damage inflicted on the selection process for breeding that must have resulted from the US medication crutches of Lasix (aka Salix) and Bute, as well as the incalculable damage that may have been done by a variety of painkilling substances and
practices from milkshaking to the improbable cone snail venom. In the Far East it is taken almost as a given that European horses bred from generations of performers who have excelled on soft or softish ground will have congenital problems with their feet which make all but a few untrustworthy to say the least when asked to race on predominantly fast going. The drug problem is a worldwide pandemic with purveyors of illicit performance enhancers
almost as cunning as those in human sports at staying one jump ahead of the detectors. How extraordinary then that after two and a half centuries since the sport of racing was formalised there should appear from the gene pool what a huge range of eminent judges, from his understandably besotted trainer Sir Henry Cecil to French doyen Andre Fabré, to the strict mathematicians of Timeform, as well as nearly every fan who’s seen him, are prepared to acclaim as the finest racehorse

the foreword who has ever lived. Frankel’s departure from the racing scene to stud where he will take up duties as the most valuable animal on earth was not quite a stunning as some of the victories in his 14 starts that have gained him an aggregate winning distance of 76l. The going was softer than ideal for him and after he’d missed the break by a couple of lengths the plan of getting him into an easy sit behind his half-brother Bullet Train was never a possibility. He had to challenge three wide down the straight and the officially second-best middle-distance horse in training, Cirrus Des Aigles, had the run of the race on rain-softened going that he loves. The commentator, perhaps trying to inject a little extra excitement into affairs, did try to suggest by the change in his tone that there might be some chance of a threatening rally from the remarkable French gelding after Frankel had swept past him after first brushing aside the Eclipse winner Nathaniel, who in July had failed narrowly to beat the 5l winner of the 2011 Arc, Danedream in an attempt to take a second King George. But really there was never even a moment when the result was in doubt. If one and three quarter lengths was a relatively modest margin of victory by Frankel’s own standards it was business-like and absolutely decisive.
A
nd that, after everything, was that. Tom Queally, leaning right forward in the saddle, slapped him a few times down the neck, and the nonpareil with the muscularity of a wrestler and the elegance of a dancer pitter-patted his way into history, and, even though we have the evidence to tell us exactly how good he was, no doubt into legend too because lily-gilding is a compulsion among followers of this sport. Obviously there have to be regrets. Some will certainly be more confident than ever that he would have won the 2012 Arc in which idiosyncratic Japanese champion Orfevre seemed to pull himself up after looking to have the race in safe keeping after surging into a 3l lead with a furlong to go. Others wanted him to go and do a lap of honour in the Breeders’ Cup Classic. It would have been thrilling in the extreme to have seen him run in the Nunthorpe or the Prix de l’Abbaye and found out exactly how far ahead of the sprinters he would have gone by the end of 5f.

Tom Queally enjoying his last few moments aboard Frankel during the horse’s victory parade
But really for once, in the hateful cliché that hypers of racehorses off to stud love to deliver, often with hardly a shred of truth in what they have to say, he had nothing left to prove. He was the best: the best at any trip he tried, the best at all the trips he didn’t try too. As long as he settled it’s even hard to imagine him being extended in the Gold Cup at Ascot. He was very probably that mythical nineteenth century paragon: the true champion who is simply better than anything else at any distance from 5f to 2m4f. The final tribute to his greatness actually came not in the QIPCO Champion Stakes itself, but in the Queen Elizabeth II Stakes. In any ordinary era Excelebration, winner
of this mile championship, would himself be acclaimed as one of the greats. If there had been no Frankel he would probably have won at least seven Group 1s and would perhaps have been mentioned in the same breath as Brigadier Gerard. Now his brilliant performance in putting 3l between himself and his rivals only provokes fresh marvelling at the memories of the five times Frankel humiliated him, including what must have been the most sensational mile performance of all time, the 2012 Queen Anne Stakes, in which the clear second-best miler in the world was left 11l behind the best thoroughbred who ever lived.

the foreword
A brilliant autumn, but... t has been a spectacular autumn of yearling sales and horseracing. The Goffs Orby Sale saw increases across the board – a 47 per cent rise in average, a 38 per cent increase in median and a growth in turnover of 33 per cent. The clearance rate was 85 per cent and the top price of 2011 was surpassed by nine horses, with the €800,000 given for a son of Galileo offered by Tally-Ho the highestpriced yearling sold in Ireland since 2010 and the third-highest since 2008. The momentum continued through to the Sportsman’s Sale (aggregate increased by 17 per cent, the average by 30 per cent, the median by 40 per cent with a clearance rate of 81 per cent) and onto Tattersalls October. The Newmarket sale produced the highestpriced yearling sold in the world this year – the Galileo ex Funsie who fetched 2.5 million guineas – and seven horses who sold for more than 800,000gns. Again, all statistics were up: Book 1 created a record turnover for a European yearling sale and the average broke the 160,000gns barrier for the first time in the sale’s history. And again, the momentum continued through the ranks into Book 2 and 3. After the Newmarket two-weeker, we were treated to the amazing performance at Ascot on Champions Day by the best horse in the world. The superb reception Frankel was given by the Ascot crowd makes it tempting to believe that racing is in the mainstream and that, coupled with the demand at the yearling sales, would lead you to believe that all is well within the bloodstock and racing worlds. And yes at the top end, the demand to buy and race horses in Britain and Ireland is immense amongst those with the money to play at the top or near the top of the pyramid. The marketing efforts of the British Horseracing Authority, British Bloodstock Marketing and Irish Thoroughbred Marketing have been superbly rewarded in ensuring that horseracing has become both a leisure and business activity of choice of millionaires: people aspire to and are encouraged to become racehorse owners on an international scale, while existing owners have also been encouraged to buy their quality horses on these shores. (Admittedly, the Galileo effect can claim some of that credit).

...the figures released in the BHA Fact Book make for a worrying read
owever, if looking further down the pyramid the poor levels of prize-money in Britain, the ongoing effects of the recession, the increasing costs of funding a horse in training, all have caused that momentum to come to a shuddering halt. The recent figures released by the BHA in its Fact Book 2011/12 reveals a perhaps not unexpected but worrying decline in racehorse ownership in Britain through the years listed from 2007 to 20011. In 2007, 9,551 people owned a horse in training in GB, by 2011 this figure had fallen to 8,425, with the biggest decline being amongst those people owning just one horse. In 2007, 5,595 owners were listed in this group, by last year this had dropped to 4,810 with declines seen every year through the intervening period. Owners with two horses in training have dropped by 245, with three horses by 57, with four and five by 14 and 27. The changes in the figures for those with 6-10 horses, 11-20 and 21+ are negligible. The total number of horses in training has reached its lowest point over the five years: in 2007, 15,083 horses were listed as in training, by last year this number had declined to 14,056. The horses owned by a sole individual have dropped from 8,621 to 7,939, while
those owned in a partnership of two has fallen from 4,062 to 3,770, with overall multiple ownerships declining from 5,540 to 5,126. And while the book proudly announces the fact that for “the first time in five years there has been a year on year increase in the number of new registrations of owners”, compared with 2007, those wishing to become excited new racehorse owners has been in free fall: five years ago 2,104 new owners were registered, in 2011 it was 1,659 (admittedly an increase on 2010 by 23). In association with these drops in the number of horses in training and ownership levels, those employed in stables have fallen to its lowest over the past five years and has dropped below 6,500 for the first time. So, while racing and bloodstock does indeed have plenty to be shout proudly about: the horses themselves, along with the sterling marketing efforts of racing and bloodstock, have created a huge demand for their purchase, and the bloodstock industry has self-regulated bringing supply into line with market demand, plenty more needs to be done to ensure that that demand for horses in training domestically at the middle to lower bands does not continue its freefall. The efforts made by the bloodstock industry to maintain a viable future, are not curtailed by a lack of action by racing. It’s not just the figures talking either. When chatting to middle-of-the-road (and successful ones at that) trainers at Tattersalls and elsewhere, there is a huge fear regarding the continued viability of their businesses in the current environment. A lack of orders, the inability to buy on spec, the lack of support, the high costs of operating, the state of prizemoney, the arrogance shown towards owners on the racetracks; all are sited as concerns. It is wonderful bringing in multimillionaires to own horses, and of course the top is where everyone needs to aspire to be and where ownership should be encouraged. With the fantastically positive news that Levy funding and prize-money is set to increase for 2013, let’s hope that racing as an “industry” does its best to supply owners, money and support mechanisms into the mid and lower levels so creating a successful pyramid structure with strength at its base.

the news
Reducing falls in size of US foal crop THE SIZE of the foal crop in the US fell for the seventh year in a row, reports the Amercian Jockey Club in its online fact book. However, the decline of 3.1
per cent is the smallest year on year fall since 2007. In 2012, 24,700 estimated foals were born compared with an estimated 25,500 last year. It is the lowest figure reported in the 23-year books of statistics. The number of mares bred in the US has fallen from 45,826 in 2009 to 36,086 in 2011, and while the number of mares bred is still led regionally by Kentucky with 15,602, that represents a decline of over 3,000 mares
compared with 2009. Florida, Lousiana and California are the only other states boasting of broodmare bands of over 3,000. The number of stallions standing in Kentucky has dropped from 342 in 2009 to 255 in 2011. Lousiana, with 238, is the only state with over 200 stallions within its borders. In 2011, exports of thoroughbreds from the US fell below 1,000 for a second year
in succession, while European imports made a slight resurgence from 340 last year to 453. European horses are still the most important outside source of thoroughbreds for the US – imports from Central America numbered 97 in 2011, while only 24 Australian horses were sent to America. Overall, while exports abroad have remained fairly constant, imports have fallen from a high of 1,186 to 628, a slight rise from last year.

their purchases amongst a number of trainers and leaving any bought in training in the same yards is to be applauded. Sheikh Fahad and David Redvers are going to have a lot of fun selecting Hydrogen’s handler and then announcing it at their yearling parade. He is a smashing horse, but perhaps Ouija Board’s colt by Galileo looked better value? Even though my client was disappointed at being underbidder on that one, I have no doubt John Magnier had more ammunition than we did! My one gripe about the October sale is a common one: agents and trainers are under too much pressure for the last two days of the sale and those hoping to buy in Book 3 were faced with an almost impossible task to get round everything. Deauville sold 500 lots in three days, but, because of the stable lay out, it was an easy task getting round everything. Surely, it would be worth considering having Book 3 after the 243 lots sold on the Thursday of the

ix weeks of bloostock sales leaves little time for healthy things in life, such as gardening and going to the gym. The continuing wet weather with infrequent warm, sunny days would have limited any useful gardening anyway, but it has left me with a lot of catching up to do. Over four inches of rain fell in October after the wettest summer for a 100 years, and it has meant that the slugs have had a field day. Bloodstock sales in Europe have been remarkably resilient to current economic conditions and the continuing poor prize-money in Britain. Tattersalls sold 1,405 yearlings for just over 100 million guineas. The Al Thani family from Qatar have continued to prove enthusiastic buyers and are neutral in their purchases. Being able to bid on Galileo’s and Montjeu’s will give them a better chance of competing in the best races, and their policy of spreading
Then Andrea Brown, now Jane Chapple-Hyam’s secretary, saved my bacon by finding it in the kitchen bin after I had already got to Heathrow en route to see Arabian Story run in the Melbourne Cup! No such recovery this time, and I found out at 11.00am on Friday from a very helpful British Airways assistant that I had to get to the consulate in Marseilles to get a temporary one. A lucky taxi ride to Nice station got me on the train (without a ticket) and two and a half hours later saw me in a rather shabby set of rooms in a down town Marseilles apartment block. It was a relatively easy 20 minute wait to get the temporary passport. I then took the metro back to the station only to find it swarming with gendarmes, who had closed it down due to a bomb threat. The return train to Nice was half an hour late and the ticket office was the last section of the station to reopen. Again I boarded without a ticket, but a crowded train and

Frankel heads list of new sires With the expected news that Frankel has been retired to Banstead Manor Stud – fee still to be decided – it has been announced that a number of other colts are to become new stallions for 2013, including the Roger Charlton-trained Bated Breath, who is to stand alongside Frankel at Banstead. A son of Prince Khalid Adbulla’s own sire Dansili, Bated Breath won six races, including the Group 2 Temple Stakes. He
less than diligent ticket inspectors meant I made up for the first leg surcharge that I had had been caught out with. Unlike Ryanair, BA were helpful and allowed me on to the 21.00pm plane to Heathrow, and without charging me for a new ticket. I had a very satisfactory experience getting my new passport at Peterborough, which was posted on in two days. It was made all the more entertaining by parking next to former jockey Ernie Johnson, who was there on a passport renewal mission. Ernie was once apprenticed at Kingsclere and reminded me of the time I rolled the old Land Rover (HAM 400) on my way back from the Downs on the horse track. I also thought I had coached Ernie for the stable lads boxing, however, he told me he got a bloody nose from the first sparring session and did not return for another one! Ernie won the Derby on Blakeney and then rode Rheingold when he was beaten a short head by Lester on Roberto. He still rides work at Charlie Hills,

Admittedly, Frankel has been an enormous contributory factor for the first two years and the weather has been very kind on race day. I still feel the timing should be earlier to make it possible for the Melbourne Cup contenders to run, but I am not sure how could that be done without upsetting the French. The meeting also coincided with the announcement of Frankie Dettori’s departure from Godolphin. He is still one of the best jockeys riding and I am sure he will be widely used as a freelance. I look forward to the odd reunion with Ballydoyle horses when Joseph is unavailable or cannot do the weight. It will be a great test of character for Godolphin’s owner if Frankie manages to beat one of theirs in a Group 1 race riding for Ballydoyle!

T
he dread AHEAD of the mammoth October Book 2 was unfounded – in the end the market stood up to last year’s sale, which consisted of 250 less horses. It’s been a long time since you could take a yearling up to the ring without a vetting and seemingly little repeat viewings and get bids of 30-50,000gns from the back walking ring. Many bloodstock agents found it hard to inspect all the yearlings on offer and many had teams looking on their behalf. It felt a little

reminiscent of the old days of the Houghton and then October Yearling sale when the less time you had the yearlings on the sales grounds the more they seemed to make. With the old system, and yearlings selling in drafts, many of the better yearlings sold at the end of the week. I am a true believer that the less time people have to inspect yearlings, the more chance you have of them going off a horse. In fact, one prominent yearling purchaser came by my consignment the morning of the sale when he is normally looking for a third time and said I don’t want to see her again as I don’t want to go

STREET SENSE, who became the first Breeders’ Cup Juvenile winner to win the Kentucky Derby when successul in 2007, will join Darley’s Japanese roster next year. The eight-year-old son of Street Cry retired to stud at Darley’s Jonabell Farm in Kentucky, where he has stood for five years. His first season fee was $75,000, a figure which has declined to $40,000 for this year. Street Sense’s oldest crop are three-year-olds and among his best runners are the the Belmont Stakes (G1) fourth Street Life, and the Grade 3 winners Castaway and Motor City. He has had six horses race in Japan Racing Association contests in Japan and four of them have won. Darley Japan director Kenichiro Mishima said in a statement: “We are very pleased to be able to provide such a wonderful stallion to breeders in Japan. “Street Sense was outstanding on the track and his first crop have made a good debut across the world, including Japan where he has achieved great success. He is a stallion who has good potential.” off her! The plan worked – he bought her and I am sure he has himself a stakes winner in the making. The success of Book 2 will only increase its popularity again next year and, inevitably, there will be more yearlings than boxes again, but as long as the supply and demand ratio stays the same things will be fine. That much was proven this year, it’s just when the tide turns there is a problem. In addition, leaving Monday as an inspection day, a plan that was brought in for the first time last year, works really well. It means that agents can go racing and sell our yearlings to the end user. The other most important factor for all of the October sales was sire power. Without it, inspections were low and the resulting sales price disappointing or non-existent. Champs Elysees, for instance, had a phenomenal foal sale last year and was a must-have sire for pinhookers. Many were persuaded to breed to him this year on the back of his popularity, but in less than 12 months his yearlings were bought by agents and trainers at a substantially lower average and median than his foals. I have often referred to the fickle
market, but the lack of demand for yearlings by a brother to leading sire Dansili and to Cacique, whose limited foal crop was massively successful, confounds me. The opinion must be based on Champs Elysees’s race record in American and everyone has forgotten he is from such a prolific sire’s pedigree. Time will tell the leading contenders for first-season sire status. But based on demand, Bushranger, who has the numbers and has ended up in the right hands, looks like the early favourite. I liked Thewayyouare’s stock, but with the first crop in the US, he is unlikely to make the mark needed. He will have an outstanding chance when his first Irish crop gets going. Last year’s foal prices tended to be too high and in the US the better foals for Keeneland Book 1 and 2 failed, in general, to return profits commensurate to the huge risks involved. It was noticeable, though, that the later you were in the sale the more profitable the pin-hooks generally became. Now that we have found the solution, the next trick is to buy foals by the “right” sires and predict which sires to breed to next year.

Shaking that ass: Frankel gives the honourable Cirrus Des Aigles the view that every other horse who ran against him saw too
A new career for Frankel now
The son of Galileo has to start it all over again, writes Sue Montgomery
S
o, the first Frankel era is over and the great horse must now start down a different road, and whether he leaves a lasting mark on thoroughbred heritage or merely a legacy of wonderful memories remains to be seen. The very, very best runners, the freakishly brilliant, do not reproduce themselves and in many cases – such as Sea-Bird, Secretariat, Dancing Brave and most notably Brigadier Gerard – hardly replicate even pale shadows of themselves. But that is not to say that Frankel will not sire good horses in his second career; all his fans will hope he does. He will, of course, be given every assistance in terms of the quality, quantity and suitability of his mates by his owner Prince Khalid Abdullah’s globally respected Juddmonte operation. And some uberperformers do become staples of the breed. Ribot, Hyperion, Mill Reef, Pharis and Native Dancer all raced to a rating of 140 or better.

Frankel’s first crop will not be racehorses until 2016, but then a large part of racing’s attraction is its ever-rolling generation game conveyor belt, and the milestones along the way for a horse like him: the announcement of his fee, the names in his first book, his first foals, his first auctioned yearlings. And if his fame and charisma can draw in fresh interest to the more arcane parts of the industry behind the sport, so much the better. Certainly, the Galileo four-yearold’s qualities on the track engendered unprecedented public enthusiasm; he was incontrovertibly not only a rare champion in each of his three seasons to race, but also a wonder horse. His exact place on the pantheon will forever be a matter of debate, with perhaps the most difficult task faced by those who have to reduce art to science by producing ratings. But some of his imperious romps – his 2,000 Guineas, his Queen Anne Stakes – are on visceral judgement right up there alongside Sea-Bird’s Derby and Prix de l’Arc
de Triomphe, Secretariat’s Belmont Stakes, Dancing Brave’s Arc, Dubai Millennium’s Dubai World Cup. In his trainer Sir Henry Cecil’s admittedly biased view, Frankel’s efforts have been beyond all. “I can’t believe in the history of racing there has been a better horse,” he said after his magnificent charge took his record to 14 from 14 in the QIPCO Champion Stakes at Ascot. And, given the fortitude Sir Henry has displayed as he has coped with stomach cancer and its treatment as he has guided Frankel’s progress, he can be indulged his verdict. By some standards, Frankel’s racecourse career, though perfect numerically, could be considered to have been unadventurous. As a senior, seven of his victories came over a mile and in four of his races at three and four he was chased home by the same rival. He stepped beyond a mile only twice, and never up to a full middle-distance examination over 1m4f. He never ventured out of Britain or

indeed his own comfort zone. But if he retired without the range of his talent being explored, at least his final race showed one more facet to his character; alongside the power that habitually overwhelmed his opponents, there were also guts to go with the glory. The ground at Ascot, soft with heavy patches on the lowest-lying far side of the course was the most testing he had faced. But though there was always the worry that such conditions would compromise his fluid action and its monster stride, perhaps there should not have been. One of the old racing adages is “big feet for soft ground” and Frankel, with his size 7½ shoes, had the largest hooves of any at Warren Place. The only flicker of concern came at the start. Early in his career, Frankel’s Achilles heel was his well-documented hot-headedness but the trait was skilfully harnessed and cooled by Cecil and his team, particularly daily rider Shane Fetherstonehaugh, to the extent that the colt, the 2-11 favourite, rather flopped out of the gate, giving his five rivals several lengths. He was unable to take his habitual place behind his faithful domestique Bullet Train, whom Ian Mongan had to rein back to allow the star to catch up. But by half-way the status was restored, with Bullet Train back in front of Cirrus Des Aigles and Frankel, galloping sweetly under Tom Queally, sitting just behind the pace. Cirrus Des Aigles, a proven mudlark, took over again on the turn in and the French
Other unbeaten ones Fourteen wins from as many starts puts Frankel high on the all-time unbeaten list, though such a leaderboard is merely a statistical curiosity as a representation of quantity, by no means always the same as quality. Peppers Pride, for instance, won all her 19 races in New Mexico, against fellow New Mexico-breds, and would not be regarded as fit to polish even the nails in Frankel’s shoes. Karayel, on 18 victories, was a champion only in Turkey, and Macon, on 15, in Argentina. But Frankel apart there is also some serious talent to have retired unbeaten. None will ever approach the record of the Hungarian mare Kincsem, whose victories outside her homeland included three editions of the Grosser Preis Von Baden, a Grand Prix de Deauville, and a Goodwood Cup. 54 Kincsem (foaled 1874, trained in Hungary) 22 Black Caviar (2006, Australia) 19 Peppers Pride (2003, New Mexico) 18 Eclipse (1764, GB) 18 Karayel (1970, Turkey) 16 Ormonde (1883, GB) 16 Prestige (1903, France) 16 Ribot (1952, Italy) 15 Colin (1905, USA) 15 Macon (1922, Argentina) 14 Nearco (1935, Italy) 14 Frankel (2008, GB)

raider, winner of the 1m2f contest on its first running at Ascot the previous year, went clear. For once, Queally had to roust his mount, even administering a rare smack with the whip to make sure as he went in pursuit. But by the time he went past Cirrus Des Aigles a furlong from home Frankel was back in cruise control and readily asserted for a near 2l victory. The £737,230 prize on Britain’s richest raceday took his earnings to just short of £3 million. Frankel had attracted a capacity crowd to Ascot and the ovation he was given as he passed the post, was led back in triumph to the winner’s circle for the last time and completed two laps of honour, led by his lad Sandeep Gauravaram, round the parade ring, came straight from 32,384 hearts.

here is undoubtedly merit in the idea of a showcase card at the end of the season in Britain and the new boys on the elite racing block, the Qatari ruling royal Al Thani family, deserve all credit for their enthusiasm in backing the £3 million Champions Day through their investment company QIPCO (although it has to be said that their thoroughbred outlays rather pale beside the £156 million they paid for one Cezanne painting). The presence of Frankel, though, has carried the first two editions of the Ascot innovation, which does contain – and is apparently going to retain – flaws.

them fixtures that offer logical and tempting onward steps for a horse wishing to expand his or her portfolio. Soggy, boggy ground is likely to be the middle-October rule rather than the exception, not conditions under which the reputations of top-class horses are always happily risked. And the Champions Series, which involved the hijacking and rearrangement of longestablished logical targets for the best performers in an attempt to dumb the sport down for lay consumption, is as ludicrous as it is meaningless. The equine hierarchy is decided by end-of-season ratings, not points. Ironically, the winners of the first four contests on this year’s British Champions Day were all trained in Ireland. Two of them, the Long Distance Cup won by Rite Of Passage and the Fillies’ And Mares’ Stakes taken by Sapphire, provided a showcase for the exceptional and enduring talent of trainer Dermot Weld. Rite Of Passage, a son of Giant’s Causeway, won the Gold Cup in 2010, but had run only once since when he tweaked a tendon at Leopardstown in May 2011. The eight-year-
old pounced late to take Aiken by a neck, defying an absence of 510 days. “It was the most impressive training performance I’ve ever seen,” said rider Pat Smullen afterwards. The field was a strong one in what has been a competitive division all season, though without an outstanding exponent. The latest Gold Cup winner Colour Vision finished last, undone by the heavy ground, and his predecessor Fame And Glory faded to fifth. Four-year-old Aiken, by Selkirk, is a relative newcomer to stamina tests, and looks a fine prospect for next season. As does the sharply progressive Sapphire, who put some of the campaign’s best middledistance fillies in their place and is regarded as good enough by Weld to be considered a 2013 Arc prospect. She was followed in by Shirocco Star (Shirocco), whose previous seconds included the Oaks and its Irish counterpart, and the 2011 Epsom Classic heroine Dancing Rain (Danehill Dancer). Further back were this year’s premier Oaks winners Was and Great Heavens. Sapphire, by Medicean, was bred by

Moyglare Stud, this year celebrating the 50th anniversary of its founding. It was in 1962 that Swiss businessman and philanthropist Walter Haefner went to Ireland to look at showjumpers but famously – after a missed flight and a chance meeting in a Dublin hotel – bought a 440-acre farm instead. Haefner died, at the age of 101, in June, two days before his three-year-old filly Princess Highway won the Ribblesdale Stakes, a race her dam Irresistible Jewel had taken ten years previously. Haefner’s daughter Eva Maria is carrying on his legacy at the County Kildare nursery, under the direction of long-time stud manager Stan Cosgrove. Sapphire descends from one of Haefner’s early broodmare purchases Talking Picture, the best juvenile filly of 1973 in the States.

Future was Godolphin’s There was nothing for Godolphin on Champions Day but a week earlier the operation dominated the Group 1 contests at Newmarket on Future Champions Day. For understatement, it would be hard to beat John Ferguson's summation of events and, from his standpoint as one of Sheikh Mohammed’s advisers on bloodstock, for accuracy as well. As part of the annual headhunt of juvenile talent, his team picked out Dawn Approach, winner of the Dewhurst Stakes, and Reckless Abandon, who won the Middle Park Stakes. “A good day’s work,” said Ferguson. Both unbeaten colts will remain with their present trainers, Jim Bolger and Clive Cox, instead of being diverted in-house. Dawn Approach continued Bolger’s remarkable record in the 7f contest that produces more subsequent Classic victors than any other in the calendar, being the fifth success in seven runnings for the canny Irishman. The list is headed by the latest hero’s sire New Approach, who provided the action preplay to the present scenario. Five years ago the Sheikh acquired the son of Galileo from Bolger during his first season, won the Derby with him the following year and has seen him develop into the industry’s most sought-after young stallion under Darley’s banner. Dawn Approach, the 30-100 Dewhurst favourite, beat his pacemaking stablemate Leitir Mor a convincing 3l to bring his record to six from six under Kevin Manning. Reckless Abandon, ridden by Gerald Mosse, had a tougher time; it was by only a neck that the son of Exchange Rate rallied to catch Moohaajim in the last stride of the 6f contest under an excellent ride. Though they are now both in the same fold, the background of the two colts could hardly be more different. Dawn Approach, like his sire, is a product of Bolger’s extensive Redmondstown breeding operation in County Wexford and though he never came on the open market, his yearling sister made €775,000 in the Goffs auction ring last month. Reckless Abandon, sold as a yearling for £24,000, came from Nicholas and Jane Forman Hardy’s smaller but quality Car Colston Hall Stud in Nottinghamshire. The produce of foundation mare Wiener Wald, out of a half-sister to Storm Cat, include a top-level winner in Crowded House and the dam of another in Ticker Tape, half-sister to Reckless Abandon’s dam Sant Elena.

Society Rock and Wizz Kid, winners of the Haydock Sprint Cup and Prix de l’Abbaye respectively, came in fifth and seventh. Trained by David Nagle, Maarek is finally fulfilling the promise Sheikh Hamdan’s team once thought he had. The five-year-old gelding, from the family of high-class sprinter Anita’s Prince, was acquired by Shadwell for 130,000gns as a yearling but cast off two years later, unraced, for £2,500. But pride of place on the day after Frankel must go to his perennial victim Excelebration, who dominated his rivals in the Queen Elizabeth II Stakes. The Aidan O’Brientrained four-year-old, winner of last year’s Prix Du Moulin and this year’s Prix Jacques le Marois, would now be a six-time Group 1 winner without the superstar, having chased him home in the previous QEII, and this term in the Lockinge and Queen Anne Stakes. The son of Exceed And Excel, who is probably retiring to Coolmore next spring, cut down old rival Cityscape (Selkirk), winner of the Dubai Duty Free, inside the final furlong once finding daylight, scoring by three easy lengths. By any normal standards he is a miler of the highest class.
Frankie out on his own The writing had been on the wall for a while, so it was no surprise when Frankie Dettori and Sheikh Mohammed announced their separation after 18 mutually beneficial and successful years. Dettori, 42 in December, had felt increasingly marginalised by Godolphin's recruitment and promotion of Mickael Barzalona and brought matters to a head by taking the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe ride on Camelot without informing his employers. Dettori has ridden 110 Group and Grade 1 winners for Godolphin, starting with Balanchine in the 1994 Oaks and most lately on Colour Vision in the Ascot Gold Cup, his sole top-level success for the operation this year. The Italian will operate as a freelance in 2013, and plans to have a crack at a fourth jockeys' title to add to those of 1994, 1995 and 2004. Ties with the Sheikh have not been totally severed; neither side is so unpragmatic as to do that, but there will be no retainer. “My position within the stable has changed and I need a new challenge,” said Dettori. “But I am leaving on amicable terms and still hope to ride for Godolphin next year as and when, and I will be fulfilling my commitments to the team for the rest of this year. Godolphin has been a major part of everything I have achieved in racing and I have loved every minute of it.”

Triumphant return: Olivier Peslier and Solemia
T
he Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe has often been run on heavy ground, and the going at Longchamp on the first Sunday in October is at least soft one out of every three years. The best races are a different spectacle when the ground is soft or heavy, something which somehow seems to have become more common over the last few years, but it does not necessarily mean the winners in these conditions deserve less respect. The Wertheimer-owned four-year-old Poliglote filly Solemia may not have struck many people as the most likely Arc winner this year, and she was, of course, fortunate that several of her most important rivals were for one reason or another unable to be there, but she won decisively beating an excellent field. In a few years’ time her name could easily be as well known as Urban Sea, the last four-year-old filly to win the race at a big price when sent off at 37-1 in 1993. The ground was heavy when Urban Sea won the Arc and she is one of four recent winners, together with Montjeu, Subotica and

euro racing Sagace, who completed the race in a slower time than Solemia. Great champions and great broodmares have won the Arc on heavy ground. There was a time when the race was dominated by fillies and mares with seven winners in ten years between Allez France in 1974 and All Along in 1983. Since then the only female winners have been Urban Sea, Zarkava, Danedream and now Solemia. The Arc was Solemia’s first Group 1 win, but the Carlos Laffon Pariastrained filly had shown high-class form on several occasions and in particular when defeating a very strong field to win the Group 2 Prix Corrida at Saint-Cloud at the end of May. The Corrida must be on the verge of being upgraded to a Group 1 as its last four winners have been Alpine Rose, Plumania, Sarafina and Solemia, all major winners after the Corrida. This year Solemia was followed home by two fillies who have won Group 1 races since, Shareta and Siyouma, and those
further behind included the Arc fourth Haya Landa and the Grade 1 performer Pagera. After the Corrida, Solemia finished fourth behind La Pomme d’Amour in a high-class Group 2 in Deauville when carrying a penalty and then third, beaten only 2l, behind Shareta in the Group 1 Prix Vermeille. Before the Arc, Solemia was an improving filly, who had had a light season with only two runs in the four months before the race, was sure to stay and whose trainer was already enjoying the season of his career to date. The form of Laffon Parias’ stable has been one of the features of the year in France and he still has an outside chance of catching Andre Fabré and becoming champion trainer, despite having had only 80 different runners at the time of writing, compared with Fabre’s 140 and the 150 run by Jean-Claude Rouget, who is in third place. Solemia has the pedigree of a top racehorse and future broodmare. She is the sixth blacktype winner produced by her dam Brooklyn’s
Surprise success: Peslier, with his daughters, enjoying his Group race double on Arc day
US Law has potential to be top-class next season The French-trained juvenile colts who have looked to be potential top horses include US Law, Mutin, Triple Threat and the Wertheimer-owned pair Intello and Pilote. US Law is by Lawman out of a Linamix mare and had looked for a moment to be heading for an easy win in his first Group race, won by Pearl Flute in September, but looked like a non-stayer and could only finish third. At Saint-Cloud he was ridden from the front and this time got home easily to run out a comfortable winner. Mutin has left France after being sold for €700,000 at the Arqana Arc Sale. It was perhaps a remarkable price for a son by the obscure Kingmambo sire Kentucky Dynamite, who had won only two conditions races, but the form of Mutin’s races has worked out very well indeed. The horses he beat on his debut at Chantilly at the end of July have won numerous races and include both US Law and Pilote, while he is also a particularly good-looking colt. His sire Kentucky Dynamite put up his best performance when second to Stormy River in the Group 1 Prix Jean Prat, with Kendargent a length and a half behind him in fourth. Triple Threat is a son of Monsun and trained by Fabré for Team Valor. Beaten on his first two starts in Deauville he stepped up dramatically on this form when tried over a mile on soft ground at Saint-Cloud and ran out an easy 4l winner. Fabré also trains Pilote and Intello for the Wertheimers. Pilote is a Pivotal colt out of the Group 2 winner Legerete. After a promising debut at Chantilly behind Mutin he since won races at Evereux and Fontainebleau, on the last occasion looking like a good future prospect on soft ground. Intello, a son of Galileo and the Danehill mare Impressionnante, is unbeaten after two narrow but decisive wins at Longchamp and Maisons-Laffitte. Impressionnante was a Group 2 winner who was unlucky not to win the Poule d’Essai des Pouliches and who finished sixth in the Prix Jean Prat behind Stormy River, Kentucky Dynamite and Kendargent. It just goes to show that some races acquire significance as the years pass.

with the draw as not only did she start from stall six, but what turned out to be her only dangerous rival, the Japanese champion Orfevre, was in stall 18. A wide draw is a disadvantage in almost every race at Longchamp, other than for those horses able to break quickly and take a prominent position. Masterstroke was drawn 17, but his jockey Mikael Barzalona took him up to join the leaders from the start. Christophe Soumillon chose instead to settle Orfevre in last place and the pair were forced as a result to race wide throughout most of
the race and on the turn into the straight. Soumillon, however, like all of those watching in the stands or on television must have been convinced the race was his – when he asked, Orfevre stormed into a clear lead without making any obvious effort. All of his rivals, with the exception of Solemia, were already flat out and well beaten. What made the difference in the end was Orfevre’s poor draw and the remarkable calm of Solemia’s jockey Olivier Peslier. At the top of the straight, when every jockey in the race bar he and Soumillon were riding flat out, he
euro racing was in a prominent position, but he waited. He continued to wait until Orfevre had flashed passed and then at the exactly the right moment he asked his mount for everything, so much so that he was given a day’s suspension for excessive use of the whip. Solemia responded and caught the tiring, hanging Orfevre in the final strides to win by a neck, with the rest of the field a long way behind. On heavy ground in 1999 the Japanesetrained El Condor Pasa had looked sure to win the Arc when quickening into a clear lead,
only to be caught close home by Montjeu. Orfevre ran a similar race and his defeat must have, if anything, been even tougher for those close to the horse as it is unlikely they had ever considered Solemia as a possible winner.
O
f the other races on Arc weekend the most significant was surely the Prix Jean Luc Lagardère, not because Olympic Glory is a great champion but because it was the first of what will surely be many top
New force in Euro racing: Olympic Glory wins the Lagardère for Sheikh Joaan Bin Hamad Al Thani
French races contested by horses belonging to the Qatari ruling family. Olympic Glory give his owner Sheikh Joaan bin Hamad Al Thani a first Group 1 winner with a decisive, if narrow, victory over his uncle Sheikh Mohammed bin Khalifa Al Thani’s Mr Greeley filly What A Name. For those who like to look at pedigrees in this way it is only too easy to get carried away by the success of a family such as Solemia’s, but then for all of the champions and Arc winners there are many more who were ordinary or even useless as racehorses and producers. Olympic Glory’s third dam Amaranda was a star in her day and won the Queen Mary Stakes at Royal Ascot by daylight and yet the perception of this family had changed by the time Olympic Glory’s dam went to the sales in 2000. The winner of a maiden race at Beverley, she was sold for 3,000gns. Olympic Glory is an excellent two-year-old, but this is not a race which is regularly won by future leading three-year-olds. The Prix Marcel Boussac, run over an extra furlong, has a much better record in this respect and the finish was contested by the three fillies pinpointed in this column last month – Silasol, Topaze Blanche and Alterite. Silasol probably had the run of the race, while Alterite had to come wide on the outside, but the daughter of Monsun could make more than usual progress at three. In any event they are three high-class fillies, while Flotilla, Peace Burg and Purr Along all looked a little unlucky behind. It is likely to prove to have been a very good Group 1. Other two-year-old fillies who have impressed in France include Tasaday, a Nayef filly of Sheikh Mohammed’s and Fabré’s who has won both her starts impressively, and Kensea, another fast daughter of Kendargent. Kensea didn’t appear to stay when beaten by Meneas in a Listed race at Deauville and then failed to settle when tried in a Group 3 won by Peace Burg at Chantilly. The Guy Pariente-owned filly was then returned to Chantilly for a Listed race over 7f and ran out an impressive winner. She is not the only high-class prospect by her sire as another Pariente home-bred, Kenhope, followed up an impressive maiden win with a second place in the Group 3 Prix Thomas Bryon at Saint-Cloud behind the Lawman colt US Law. Kendargent has remarkably produced four top-class fillies from his first two crops

FX: The topic you can’t ignore
S
teve MarSh is chief executive officer of London-based Plutus FX, one of the leading foreign exchange payment services firms. Steve was a professional cricketer and captain of Kent CCC for 18 years and following his retirement from playing in 2000 he became a board director of the Professional Cricketers association prior to joining Plutus in 2010. We talk to Steve to discover more about the role of Plutus in our world.
From cricketer to running a foreign exchange firm – quite a journey – how did it occur?
SM: It certainly is! During my nine years at the PCA I was involved with many corporate clients who supported the great job that the PCA does for both current and former cricketers. I was talking to one of these clients in 2009, who mentioned he was starting a foreign exchange firm and would I be interested in being involved. Once he had explained the nature of the business and in particular his desire to niche the sporting sector, it became clear
that this was a project that I wanted not only to have an involvement with, but to drive forward.
So is it primarily a cricket-based business?
SM: Not at all. Obviously we have a core of extremely good clients in the cricket world – from individuals and teams right up to international organisations – however, during my playing years and my time at the PCA I developed connections with many other sports. This means that Plutus can now develop relationships with rugby, football, golf, tennis and, of course, in the world of bloodstock.
How does this reflect in Plutus?
SM: Through various charity and social events I got to know many leading trainers and when Plutus was being born I took the decision that a specialised bloodstock desk, with an expert in the field, was essential. We now play a key role in helping settle bills with overseas sales’ houses and purchases between owners and agents.
And what makes Plutus different?
SM: My goal is for Plutus and its staff to deliver unparalleled levels of customer service. We also try to remember that this is a very simple business – and what we do is to try to save our clients from one per cent to three per cent compared to transacting through a high-street bank and to make the process not only cheaper, but also quicker and far more straightforward.
How do you view the future?
SM: Foreign Exchange is in the headlines every day at the moment with events in the Eurozone causing great uncertainty. I believe that people are realising that it is essential to receive a boutique service from a firm of experts when making international payments and being able to talk to your dedicated broker about timing and rates can prove invaluable. With the peace of mind of dealing with an FSA-regulated firm our clients are our best means of promoting Plutus and their satisfaction with the service they receive and recommending us to others explains our rapid growth. We like to get to know our clients and we aim to we aim to have a presence at all major sales so come and talk to us and we’ll see if we can help save you time and money.

A remarkable family “ T
Alan Porter profiles the “Agnes Family”, which enjoyed a fabulous October
The Agnes family
The foundation was laid by the Hutton family at their famed Marske Stud in Yorkshire in the second half of the 18th century. A hundred years later the female line would come to fame as the “Agnes Family”, named after a daughter of Clarion, who was foaled in 1844 and who founded a remarkable dynasty. Although volumes could be written concerning the Agnes family as a whole, the branch that concerns our story – that which
The female line that has yielded Silasol, Solemia and the sale-topping yearling has enjoyed illustrious connections, both human and equine, stretching back to the very beginning of the thoroughbred
“
o those glancing at the top end of the Tattersalls October 1 Sale, it might have seemed at times like it was all Galileo all of the time. The top-priced colt was, inevitably, by Galileo, however, his sale also capped a remarkable few days for his immediate family. It began early in the afternoon of October 7, with the determined victory of Silasol, a daughter of Monsun and the Gulch mare Stormina, in the Prix Marcel Boussac (G1). Just a couple of hours later came the improbable fight back that saw the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe (G1) fall to the four-yearold filly Solemia, who is by the Sadler’s Wells stallion Poliglote out of Brooklyn’s Dance, the third dam of Solemia. Then, on October 11, the Galileo colt (already named Hydrogen) out of Funsie, the dam of Authorized and a half-sister to Brooklyn’s Dance, held the Tattersalls sales ring spellbound as David Redvers for Sheikh Fahad went head to head with John Magnier for the honour of his ownership. Eventually, Magnier shook his head at 2.5 million guineas, the colt becoming the most expensive yearling sold in the world this year. Appropriately, the female line that has yielded Silasol, Solemia and the sale-topping yearling has enjoyed illustrious connections, both human and equine, stretching back to the very beginning of the thoroughbred.
comes down through Agnes’s daughter Miss Agnes – was the one that was hitting the Classic heights around the turn of the previous century. Miss Agnes’s daughter Polly Agnes appeared as the second dam of Ormonde, who was undefeated in three seasons of racing, was hero of the 1886 renewal of the Triple Crown and was generally regarded as the greatest runner of the 19th century. Through Ormonde’s sister Ornament, Polly Agnes became the third dam of another all-time great in the shape of the filly Sceptre, who, in 1902, compiled a unique record by winning the 1,000 Guineas, 2,000 Guineas, Oaks and St. Leger to become the only horse ever to capture four English Classics outright (Formasa won the same four Classics in 1868, but dead-heated for the 2,000 Guineas). Little Agnes, a sister to Polly Agnes, didn’t produce horses as magnificent as Ormonde or
Sceptre among her immediate descendents, but she too had Classic descendents in the same era. Little Agnes’s great granddaughter, Festive, produced the 1889 Epsom Oaks winner L’Abbesse de Joarre (who in turn had a pair significant siblings by St. Simon: Festa, the dam of the major German runners Fabula, Faust, Fels, Fervor and Festino, and Desmond, who won the Coventry Stakes and July Stakes). Another great-granddaughter Agnes Osborne produced a somewhat less celebrated Classic winner in Handicapper, who took the 2,000 Guineas as a surprise 33-1 shot, the year before Sceptre won the race. The family of Solemia descends from Dolly Agnes, another great granddaughter of Little Agnes. She, too, made her way on to the list of ancestors of a fin de siècle Classic winner in the shape of Ballyheron, who won the 1900 renewal of the Irish Derby. Ballyheron’s third dam was Dolly Agnes’s daughter Red Agnes and it is through Red Agnes that this branch of the family arrived in the US in the form of her granddaughter of Agnes Sard.
US family development
Bred by Baron Maurice de Rothschild, and imported as a yearling in 1918 by Delbert Reiff (a brother to the famous jockey Lester Reiff), Agnes Sard was sold for $700 to F. K. McAfee at that year’s Saratoga Yearling Sale, but was subsequently acquired by William Woodward of Belair Stud fame. Interestingly, Agnes Sard was by Sardanapale, a horse whose fourth dam was Little Agnes, so that mare appeared 5 x 5 in her pedigree. For Belair, Agnes Sard produced the prolific stakes winner Peanuts. Prior to the appearance of Peanuts, however, Woodward sold Agnes Sard’s first foal Bel Agnes, a sister to Peanuts, at the 1922 Saratoga Sale where she was purchased for $3,700 by Walter M. Jeffords, Sr., who with Samuel Riddle, his

wife’s uncle, owned Faraway Farm where they stood Riddle’s mighty champion, Man O’War. Unsurprisingly, Bel Agnes visited Man O’War and in 1932 produced the filly Judy O’Grady. She never won a stakes race, but proved herself to be a top-class racehorse finishing a close second to Firethorn as part of a Jeffords one-two in the Jockey Club Gold Cup, also taking runner-up spots in the Selima Stakes, Matron Stakes and Manhattan Handicap. Subsequently, Judy O’Grady would become

an extremely important producer. The best of her offspring as runners were the Ladies Handicap, Beldame Handicap and Saratoga Cup heroine Snow Goose, who herself founded a notable family that included the English and Irish Oaks (G1) winner Fair Salinia, and as well as Fairway Son and Baillamont, and Westminster, who captured the Narragansett Special, then a prestigious contest. Three other daughters of Judy O’Grady made an impact as broodmares: Irish Nora
became dam of Kiss Me Kate, a champion US three-year-old filly of 1951, Aunt Chaney, who was represented by the Santa Anita Derby victor Chanlea, and Blue Denim, who was by Blue Larkspur and a sister to Aunt Chaney. It was Blue Denim who became the most prolific of the trio with six black-type-winning offspring headed by Piano Jim, winner of the Travers Stakes, Tahiti, who was one of the best two-year-olds of a crop that also included Native Dancer, and Blue Prince, who ran in Britain where he won the Zetland Gold Cup

and Woodcote Stakes, and ran second in the Ascot Gold Cup. He subsequently sired the Coventry Stakes winner and useful Irish speed sire, Prince Tenderfoot. In 1954, Blue Demin’s minor-winning five-year-old daughter Ampola (inbred 3 x 3 to Man O’War), who had been purchased privately from Jeffords by Ira C. Drymon and J. C. Metz, was sent to the Keeneland Fall Sale, where offered in foal to Mahmoud she realised $30,000. Although the sale records show the purchaser as R. O. Nuzum, Ampola was soon in the hands of Mrs. P. A. B. (Gertrude) Widener, who bred and owned horses such as Polynesian, a champion sprinter in the US, winner of the Preakness Stakes and sire of Native Dancer, Hula Dancer, Prudent and Grey Dawn.
That Mahmoud foal turned out to be Polamia, winner of the Prix du Bois, and one of the fastest fillies of her crop in France. She, too, was a notable broodmare, her offspring including French 1,000 Guineas (G1) winner Right Away and Grey Dawn, a champion two-year-old colt in France and famous as the only horse to defeat Sea-Bird. He was later a successful sire in France. Polamia is ancestress of several other notable winners, the most important of which were the French Derby (G1) winners Sulamani and Dream Well, who also won the Irish Derby (G1). Ampola’s 1957 offspring Sly Pola, a daughter of the speedy Spy Song, could only finish runner-up in the Prix du Bois, but she went on to prove herself a significantly better juvenile than Polamia by subsequently

In 1968, due to ill-health, Mrs. Widener dispersed her breeding stock in the Deauville sales where Sly Pola’s yearling filly by Val de Loir was sold to the Wertheimer family for the equivalent of $82,000, then a new record price for a yearling sold in France.

of those by some distance was Green Dancer from the first crop of a certain sire called Nijinsky. He won the Observer Gold Cup (G1) at two and the French 2,000 Guineas (G1) and Prix Lupin (G1) at three prior to an extremely successful career as a sire. Several of Green Valley’s daughters went on to success as broodmares, including Irish Valley, an Irish River daughter who was dam of the champion English two-yearold Alhaarth and grand-dam of the 2,000 Guineas (G1) and Prix Jacques Le Marois (G1) winner Makfi. The branch that interests us comes down through Green Valley’s minor-winning Lyphard daughter, Vallee Dansante. She produced one stakes winner for the Wertheimers, the Shirley Heights mare Brooklyn’s Dance, and for them she was also grand-dam of the champion French twoyear-old Okawango. She’s also dam of the King’s Best filly, Princesse Dansante, who was bred in Ireland by Dermot Cantillion and Forenaghts Stud. She became a Listed winner in France. Brooklyn’s Dance, who took the Prix Cleopatre (G3) and was runner-up in the Prix de Royallieu (G2), has enjoyed a stud career notable for both it’s success and duration. She is dam of no less than six stakes winners produced over a span of 15 years. Her blacktype production line started modestly enough with the Listed winner and Group-placed Slew O’Gold filly Gold Dodger and Brooklyn’s Gold, a Seeking The Gold son who took the Prix de Suresnes. But it was a union with Sadler’s Wells – giving the highly successful Sadler’s Wells/ Shirley Heights cross – which propelled the family to another level. The combination actually had an inauspicious start as the first union resulted in a filly who died early, but was repeated the following year producing Prospect Park, who won the La Coupe de Maisons-Laffitte (G3) and the Prix du Lys (G3), and was caught quite literally in the last stride when beaten a head by Blue Canari in the Prix du Jockey-Club (G1). Four years
later, Brooklyn’s Gold gave birth to Prospect Park’s brother Prospect Wells, winner of the Prix Greffulhe (G2) and a runner-up in the Grand Prix de Paris (G1). Between the pair came Never Green (a daughter of Halling, and inbred 4 x 3 to Green Valley), who won the Prix Occitanie.
From Green Valley to Vallee Dansante
By 2007, Brooklyn’s Dance was a 19-yearold and not of an age to be shipped to visit a major sire overseas thus the decision was taken to breed her to Poliglote, a Wertheimerraced son of Sadler’s Wells. The mating not only gave rise to the prolific cross that produced Prospect Park and Prospect Wells, but also doubled the Northern Dancer/Val de Loir cross, which resulted in Poliglote and in Brooklyn’s Dance’s dam, Vallee Dansante. The result was Solemia. One of Brooklyn’s Dance’s foals who we haven’t mentioned is her 1996 foal Brooklyn’s Storm, a minor-winning daughter of Storm Cat. Her best runner was Stormina (Gulch), who finished third in the Prix de Sandringham (G3) while racing in France, and who took the Indian Maid Handicap, Firecracker Stakes and Summer Finale Stakes while racing in the US. Stormina’s second foal – the result of a mating with Monsun – is Silasol. Funsie, the dam of the sale-topping Tattersalls yearling, was also bred by the Wertheimers, and is by Saumarez out of Vallee Dansante. Bred to Montjeu, Funsie’s first foal, Authorized, was bred by Marengo Investments and Knighton House Ltd and Mick Kinane and won the Epsom Derby (G1). He is not only from the same sire line and female line as Solemia, but he also has the Northern Dancer combination (as Montjeu was by Sadler’s Wells) with a second dam by a son of Val de Loir. Paul Makin purchased the mare in a private deal after Authorized’s rise to prominence and was responsible for producing the sales-topping Galileo colt.

Naohiro Goda meets Shigeyuki Okada at his farm in Japan
apanese breeders, who were so keen through the 1970s, 80s and 90s to import stallions from Europe and the US to stand in Japan, have in recent years switched their attentions to the fairer sex, investing much of their money in fillies and mares in order to improve the quality of their broodmare bands. Shigeyuki Okada of Big Red Farm, who purchased the colts
Roses In May in 2006, Conduit in 2010, and I’ll Have Another earlier this year, is operating a different strategy. Okada, who began his own breeding operation in 1974 when he was 24, believes
The newest recruit at Big Red Farm, Japan, the dual US Classic winner I’ll Have Another

that Japanese breeders still need to keep importing top-class stallions in order to continue to improve the quality of horses in Japan. He is prepared to lead by example. “I think the stallion is the most important aspect in a horse breeding operation, as I understand the influence by stallions is so significant,” he explains. “Since the introduction of Sunday Silence, the quality of the Japanese-bred thoroughbred has improved a lot, and the best Japanese horses are now competitive with the best anywhere in the world. “It means that the breeding operations which breed the top Japanese-bred horses, studs such as Shadai Farm and Northern Farm, are amongst the best in the world. “If I try to compete with Shadai Farm and Northern Farm, by investing much of my money into broodmares, then I need to buy at least 10 mares with top-class race records and fantastic pedigrees from Europe and the US. “Unfortunately, I cannot afford the very best 10 mares in the world! But, if I have one very successful stallion, a sire such as Sunday Silence in my breeding operation, my operation could be as competitive as Shadai Farm and Northern Farm. “Therefore, I am always looking for the chance to buy a prospective stallion,” he reasons, before adding: “My plan is to have such a stallion at Big Red Farm, make money through the business from that stallion, and then, I will start buying quality mares.” Okada, a renowned judge of horses, adds that through the summer he tried to buy several colts in training in Europe, as future stallion prospects for Big Red, though the deals did not reach a conclusion. “I think Nathaniel by Galileo in Britian, Dabirsim by Hat Trick in France, and St Nicholas Abbey by Montjeu in Ireland are going to be good stallions and they would have been interesting prospects for me to stand in Japan,” he says.

“And, of course, Frankel is a very very good horse and I agree with those who rate him as the greatest horse ever seen in the history of horseracing. “Conformation, action, volume of muscle... he has everything and he is faultless. I told my office staff prior to the International Stakes at York that the extra two furlongs would not be a problem at all for him. If he had run at Longchamp, I think he would have won the Arc with ease.” Okada, who stands 10 stallions and owns 140 mares at Big Red, received calls from three different bloodstock agents immediately after the dual US Classic winner I’ll Have Another was scratched from the Grade 1 Belmont Stakes, the calls reporting that the horse was on the market and recommending him as a purchase for Okada. “Actually, I ignored those initial calls,” says Okada with smile. “I was not interested in US-bred and the US-trained horses. They are running on dirt, while the main track in Japan is turf. They are fast, but they cannot keep running so fast beyond a mile.
“The results of recent international races prove that the quality of Japanese-bred middle-distance turf horses is better than the Americans. Hence, I did not see the photos nor study the pedigree of I’ll Have Another – that was a mistake I should not make again.”
A
few days later, Okada received the news that plural Japanese parties, including the Shadai Group, were interested in I’ll Have Another and had started negotiations. “After I got that information, I saw the photos of I’ll Have Another for the first time and saw that he is very nice horse,” he explains. “And I was much impressed watching him run in the Kentucky Derby and Preakness Stakes. “Then I saw some video footage of him walking in the parade ring and trotting to the starting gate. They were also very impressive and attractive as I found him carrying a lot of muscle and his action suggests the muscle he carries is strong.”
big red farm
“
So when I thought about it a little futher, I was determined to buy him. Or perhaps I should say, I thought I should not allow another breeding operation in Japan to buy I’ll Have Another!
“
“I then started to study his pedigree and learned a lot from it. I think I’ll Have Another inherits his strong muscle and excellent acceleration on his top line of pedigree from Forty Niner, who had a strong body and good turn of foot. “And I found Roberto and Hail To Reason, which is a very successful sire line in Japan, on the dam side of his pedigree through Arch, his broodmare sire. I am convinced I’ll Have Another is a running machine and has inherited strong and elastic spring from Roberto and Hail To Reason. “Apart from Roberto and Hail To Reason, he has Sadler’s Wells, Lyphard, Vaguely Noble, Nijinsky and Sea-Bird in his fourth and fifth generations. While I’ll Have Another is US-bred and ran on dirt in the US, his pedigree is almost European. I think I’ll Have Another should have run on turf as well as dirt and I am pretty sure he will be an influence for turf runners. “I have a habit of reading through stallion books every three or four months, and I put a tag on a page when I find a sire with ideal
conformation. I found only two pages with a tag in the latest edition of the American Stallion Book, one of them being Flower Alley. And then, I found over again that Flower Alley is a very nice horse and this fact encouraged me to buy I’ll Have Another. “I think Bodemeister by Empire Maker, who finished second to I’ll Have Another in the Kentucky Derby and Preakness Stakes, is a very good horse. My friends in the US tell me that the country’s current three-year-olds colts are of a high standard, or at least the highest in the last few years. “The form has been confirmed by Dullahan, who won the Grade 1 Pacific Classic and beat Game On Dude, arguably the best older horse in the US. The form line suggests I’ll Have Another is one of the best horses in the US in the last few years. “His race record – winner of the first and second legs of the American Triple Crown in addition to the Santa Anita Derby – as well as his way of running in the Preakness Stakes, reminds me a lot of Sunday Silence. “So when I thought about it a little futher,

I’ll Have Another: the son of Flower Alley will be visited by Okada’s leading mares, but will also cover some of the best broodmares in Japan
I was determined to buy him. Or perhaps I should say, I thought I should not allow another breeding operation in Japan to buy I’ll Have Another! “My agent in the US said the asking price was $10 million, and I responded immediately to agree to that amount.” I’ll Have Another is syndicated for the total value of ¥1,120,000,000, while Okada has retained half an interest. The stallion’s first book will not only include the best broodmares at Big Red, but also by the best mares from all over Japan. I’ll Have Another will stand for ¥3,200,000 this spring. The colt arrived at Big Red in August and has settled in well into the new surroundings. Okada does not hide his excitement at the prospect of the new recruit. “The best stallion in Japan at the moment is Deep Impact, whom we think will be as good as Sunday Silence. I believe I’ll Have Another will be as good a stallion as Deep Impact,” says Okada positively.

www.internationalthoroughbred.net
The first crop by Conduit, who won the Group 1 King George & Queen Elizabeth Stakes in 2009 and achieved back-to-back Group 1 Breeders’ Cup Turf victories, are now yearlings. Okada has high expectations. “We have started to break yearlings at my farm and some of them are already lightly training on the track,” he reports. “The yearlings by Conduit are racy and athletic types of animal. They are very well balanced, have good conformation and nice temperaments. They are a bit smallish, but are doing very well on track. “I think some of them will be able to run quite early in their of two-year-old season, and I believe Conduit will make a good start as a freshman sire.” In addition to I’ll Have Another and Conduit, Okada stands Stay Gold, sire of Orfevre, the Japanese Triple Crown winner in 2011 and the unlucky Arc runner-up. It certainly looks as though Okada’s breeding operation is ready to compete with
Shadai Farm and Northern Farm. So what is the ultimate goal for the owner of Big Red? “I went to the Tattersalls December Sale for my father when I was a 19-year-old university student,” remembers Okada. “What I saw and what I experienced there changed my life. I stayed in a B&B, and I still have great memories of walking to the Heath, to Tattersalls and around some of the magnificent stud farms. The room in the B&B was tiny and the weather was terribly cold, but I really enjoyed my stay at Newmarket. “Since then, it has been my aim to breed a starter in the Group 1 Epsom Derby. “The Japanese Derby is very important, the Emperor’s Cup is very prestigious for us, and there are some other races which the horsemen admire to win, such as Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe. “But it is my dream to win the Epsom Derby and receive the trophy from The Queen.”

first interviewed Richard Fahey five and a half years ago, in the run-up to the 2007 Flat season. The previous year, the Malton handler had passed some important milestones. He’d topped the £1 million mark in prize-money for the first time and was also celebrating his maiden century of winners. He had also just passed the age of 40. “Make no mistake, this is an outfit which is seriously on the up,” I wrote. But just how seriously on the up, I think few people, myself included, could have envisaged. So, let’s talk figures. In 2007, Fahey trained 67 Turf winners in the Flat season and finished sixth in the championship, ranked according to numbers of winners. A year later he had moved up to third place with 92 winners, while in 2009 he finished third again, with a jump to 138 winners. He was also been quietly climbing up the prize-money table too. In 2010, Fahey landed his first Group 1 when Wootton Bassett won the Prix JeanLuc Lagardère at Longchamp. That year he
trained 181 winners and bagged more than £2 million in earnings, his successes helping stable jockey Paul Hanagan become the first northern champion jockey since Kevin Darley in 1994. The following year saw another great campaign with 160 winners and Hanagan crowned champion jockey again. This year, despite Fahey losing his stable jockey to Sheikh Hamdan, yet more progress has been recorded. In June, Fahey saddled his first Epsom Derby runner, the Chester Vase (G3) winner Mickdaam. In July he celebrated his first British Group 1 winner courtesy of Mayson’s, July Cup success. And the day before my interview for this article, Barefoot Lady had landed the $300,000 Grade 2 Canadian Stakes at Woodbine, Canada. Fahey has pulled off a pretty neat trick. Without greatly sacrificing the number of winners he has in a season, he’s also been gradually upgrading the quality of the horses in his yard making him an important player in the big contests. And he’s done it all without spending a fortune on horses. How on earth has it been achieved?

We enjoy winning races, we enjoy what we do. I get as much satisfaction from winning a 0-60 handicap or a seller as I do winning more valuable races
“
“It’s largely down to the staff,” is this most modest of men’s immediate reply. “The paper or the race card says ‘R. Fahey’ next to the horse’s name, but it’s much more than about me. It sounds a bit of a cliché, but it really is a team effort,” he smiles. “Everyone has played their part from the assistant trainer to the mucker-outer. We have happy, motivated staff and I think that’s very
important. It’s a virtuous circle. “We fortunately haven’t had any bad years in recent years, so the staff are happy because we’re regularly getting winners. Their happiness rubs off on to the horses, who because they’re happy they win races and that makes the staff happy. Success breeds success.” They say simplicity is genius and Fahey is a case in point. “We get plenty of winners because we run our horses,” he reasons. “People sometimes forget they’re racehorses and they’re there to race. If they don’t race, they can’t win. We enjoy winning races, we enjoy what we do. I get as much satisfaction from winning a 0-60 handicap or a seller as I do winning more valuable races.” Then there’s the great facilities. “ We’ve got everything here. We’ve great gallops and 120 acres. We’ve an indoor school, spa and turnout paddocks. For the past 12 years my office has been in a Portacabin, but I’m very fond of it and it’ll be here for at least another year!” Is there anything that would get this calm, and very focused man down, I wonder. What about the current state of racing and in

particular the sport’s finances? “People go on and on about the prizemoney and the economic situation, and although it’s worrying, it’s a world problem not just about racing. “We have an awful lot of horses in training in this country and an awful lot of races. Should moderate horses be rewarded with more prize-money? I really don’t know.” One senses that Fahey doesn’t spend too much time worrying at night about the state of the game. But why should he, when he’s doing so well and has clearly, through hardgraft and no little skill, hit upon a formula which clearly works. “It was great to have a runner in the Derby for the first time and although Mickdaam didn’t run quite as well as I hoped, he still finished fifth which was very respectable. “Mayson’s season was fantastic. He was third behind The Cheka in The Cammidge, then won the Abernant and the Palace House at Newmarket.

off at 20-1 at Newmarket in the July Cup [he opened at 25-1 and touched 28-1 at one point]. People had forgotten what he’d done beforehand.” The Invincible Spirit colt made a nonsense of his odds and powered clear from old adversary The Cheka to record a 5l victory, giving Fahey his first British Group 1. At Glorious Goodwood this year Fahey claimed a double on the closing day as much-loved veteran Johannes struck in the Stewards’ Sprint Stakes and Jamesbo’s Girl, a 16-1, shot won the nursery. The latter followed up at Doncaster, on what was her seventh start of the campaign, producing that battle-hardiness that Fahey’s charges are renowned for. “She’s a very genuine filly, who wants to win. She started off this year in a maiden claimer and has continued to improve.” There’s likely to be more to celebrate in the closing weeks of the campaign. Mayson, unfortunately, missed his planned outing in the Sprint Cup at Haydock due to an unsatisfactory scope, but ran a superb race in the Group 1 Prix de l’Abbaye when just touched off by Wizz Kid. He was retired from racing for a stud career shortly afterwards.
Barefoot Lady returned to Woodbine last month for the Grade 1 E.P. Taylor Stakes finishing a close-up sixth behind Siyouma. Her next appearance will be at Goffs in its breeding stock sale, while Mayson has already arrived at Cheveley Park Stud ahead of the covering season, while of Jamesbo’s Girl, Fahey says “we will just see how she progresses”. By the third week of October, the yard’s total prize-money for the year was over the £1.8 million mark, compared to the £1.5 million won through the whole of 2011. Despite this continual upward progression,
it’s interesting that Fahey doesn’t set any targets ahead of each season. “All we try and do is the best by each horse and keep improving the quality of horses that we’ve got,” he says, a fact that is clearly evidenced by recen shopping trips to the yearling sales. His keep-it-nice-and-simple approach reminds me greatly of the late Bob Paisley, the phenomenally successful manager of Liverpool in the 70s and 80s. “Some of the jargon is frightening,” Paisley once complained. “They talk of ‘getting round the back’ and sound like burglars. They say ‘you’ve got to make more positive runs’, or ‘You’re too negative’ . That sounds as though you’re filling the team with electricians. But people talk like this without real depth or knowledge of what they‘re really talking about.” Bob Paisley, the great simplifier, won three European Cups, six league titles, six League Cups, one UEFA Cup and one UEFA Super Cup. Richard Fahey, a keen Arsenal fan, might not like being compared to an Anfield legend, but my hunch is that he will prove to be just as successful. Follow Neil on twitter @MightyMagyar

broodmare the news sires
N
early all discussion of pedigrees and genes in thoroughbreds are centered on stallions. Two concepts, based upon an understanding of the simplest of genetic models, are widely shared in the business itself, “the sire of sires” and “the broodmare sire”. Some stallions are, the theory goes, more likely than others to produce future successful stallions, and then others are more likely to produce successful broodmare daughters. Some again, the best known of all, the Northern Dancers, the Mr Prospectors and the Danehills of the business, have proved able to achieve both and are sires of sires and broodmare sires. If these concepts have never been satisfactorily tested by empirical research they are also rarely explained. They have entered our common understanding of the the industry and appear on the whole to be self evident, like the best of all received ideas. All males have an X and a Y chromosome, while all females have two X chromosomes. This simplest of facts, coupled with the idea that the X chromosome is larger and contains more complex genetic information than the Y, is the basis of most understanding of genetics in the thoroughbred. A stallion passes his Y chromosome to his sons, but not to his daughters, hence
the idea of a sire of sires. The reverse is also true, a stallion passes his X chromosome to his daughters and not to his sons, hence the existence of stallions whose daughters reproduce with more success than his sons. This is, however, only a simplified model and not at all an explanation. It is a fact that all daughters of Darshaan, for example, carry an X chromosome inherited from the best-known broodmare sire of the modern era, but whether or not their ability to produce successful racehorses is a result of the genes carried on this chromosome is a matter of conjecture. The X chromosome is a popular idea and there have been many convinced that the genes it carries determines heart size and therefore racing ability. This, too, is only speculation or, in some cases, an extended fantasy.

the news sires broodmare Computers have, of course, made it easier to look at names in pedigrees in great detail, but without the genetic research they remain names on pedigrees, or names on a computer screen, and not a bundle of tested and named genetic material. The best known recent scientific research in the field is that carried out by Equinome, the Irish-based company whose directors include Jim Bolger and Dr Emmeline Hill. Equinome proposes its elite performance test, which can, it claims, identify individuals with the greatest genetic potential for racecourse success. There is, however, no talk of sex chromosomes here, instead, after looking for
54,000 DNA variants in a small population of test racehorses, it was decided to concentrate on 300 DNA variants. A far wider population has and is being tested for these variants and Equinome has come up with three types of racehorses: CC’s are fast, speedy, sprint types; CT’s are fast middle-distance horses and TT’s have stamina and are unlikely to be two-year-old performers. As I understand it, Equinome proposes, with DNA testing, to determine which group any thoroughbred belongs to, and therefore what its likely racing attributes will be. Then it also divides each group into four classes, which are related to success on the racecourse.
Equinome can, it says, tell you with great accuracy whether a foal is likely to be a successful two-year-old or not and over which distance it will be at its best, and then it can also give you an idea of its racing potential. Bolger has changed his own breeding programme and his foals born in 2011 and 2012 are products of matings designed with the help of Equinome’s tests. These foals will have to include champions if they are to outrun those Bolger produced before the Equinome testing as he is the breeder of this year’s likely European champion two-year-old Dawn Approach. Before returning to broodmare sires it is worth adding that I was chatting with a
Linamix: the investigation
Jocelyn de Moubray examines the record of the former Aga Khan sire to find the answers
N
o one doubts that Linamix is a top broodmare sire and it is relatively easy to examine closely the progeny of his daughters. There were not very many of them, a total of 383 fillies of whom 294 are recorded to have foals. Of these 205 were born in 2003 or earlier and so have had the opportunity of making their mark as broodmares. They include the dams of several top horses and Group 1 winners such as Valyra, Most Improved, Rosanara, Blue Bunting, Sagawara, Sageburg, Montmartre, Clodovil, Natagora and Valixir. So far, 36 of the Linamix mares born before 2003 have produced Group-class horses, that is 18 per cent of those who have had foals. Of these early foals, 28 were winners, 14 were black-type performers, five were only placed and three were unraced. The key figures which surely make the case that Linamix is an important influence as a broodmare sire are the 18 per cent Group producers among the Linamix mares who are currently nine years old or older, and then the break down of percentages by type of mare. Of the black-type performers, 27 per cent have produced Group horses, of the non
64
www.internationalthoroughbred.net
stakes winners it is still 20 per cent, and then of raced non-winners 5.9 per cent, while the unraced horses have produced 4.3 per cent. Even among daughters of top broodmare sires such as Linamix, racing performance is a clear indicator of the ability to pass this on. His good racing daughters are exceptional broodmares, nearly one in three are top mares, but then more than four per cent of his unraced daughters are also top mares, a figure which is far higher than in the population as a whole. Linamix’s own record is very likely to improve further over the coming years. As has been well documented he began his stud career as a cheap and obscure French-based sire, even if he did have the support of his owner Jean Luc Lagardère. The daughters of his later crops now belong to leading stud farms all over Europe and were produced when he had risen to become an expensive international stallion and so are more likely to produce good racehorses themselves, then those born from cheap coverings in the mid-1990s. The two unraced Linamix mares to produce top horses to date are Miarixa, the dam of dual Classic winner Blue Bunting, and Risamixa, the dam of Naughty Rafaeala, a
Brazilian champion, who won a Grade 2. Miarixa is herself out of a Group 1 performer and is a half-sister to a Group winner, whereas in Brazil, Risamixa’s pedigree meant that she was given the chance to go to top stallions. The non-winning mares who have produced top horses are Sagalina, the dam of Sagawara, and Tonnara, the dam of Most Improved. Both also have excellent pedigrees and are both half-sisters to Group winners. Perhaps, though, more impressive are his low level winners, who have produced top horses. Zinabaa broke his maiden on his fourth start as a five-year-old, and yet the son of Anabaa Blue and the Linamix mare Zigrala has now won two Group 2s and more than €550,000. His dam won first time out over 6f, but was unplaced on eight of her ten subsequent starts and her highest-rating was 70. Reinamixa, the dam of 1,000 Guineas winner Natagora, won a claimer at SaintCloud to achieve a career-high rating of 73 and yet she has produced six winners from her first eight foals, including a Classic winner and a black-type performer. Linamix was clearly passing on something more than his coat colour to his daughters: all
broodmare the news sires Doctor of Biochemistry from Imperial Collage London the other day. This is not something which happens often in my life, but, even if we finished at different ends of the academic spectrum, by a coincidence we had set off from the same point and met at a school reunion. He assured me that in the future there is no doubt at all it will be possible to predict both athletic ability and the likelihood of this being passed through DNA testing in thoroughbreds, but that this is a new field and there is still a great deal which remains unknown. Which is I suppose, where we were at the beginning. Even if we assume that broodmare sires have a strong influence on the racing ability
of their daughter’s progeny, it doesn’t simplify the question of how to read broodmare sire statistics. There is the same question of numbers as there is all with all stallion statistics: it is, for instance, difficult to compare the record of Danehill and Linamix in this regard even though they were born within a year of each other in 1986 and 1987. The former has around 1,100 different mares with runners in every part of the world and the second only 300, most of whom are based in France, England or Ireland. And then broodmare sire statistics are particularly difficult to read as the time lags are greater than is the case for runners.
Stallions such as Pivotal (1993) and Montjeu (1996) are beginning to make a mark as broodmare sires now, but does this mean that their daughters are particularly interesting, and more so than the daughters of younger sires such as Dansili, Oasis Dream or Galileo? Numbers count so any sire who has stood for a long period at a high or mid-range price will have plenty of well-bred daughters, who will go on to produce successful racehorses. The real question is whether the sire of a mare is a better guide to her chances of producing successful racehorses than any other possible factor, her own racing ability or that of her own dam’s progeny, for instance.
Linamix is a good broodmare stallion, but do the statistics back up the perception?

“
762 of Linamix’s foals were grey, and a facet which an unusually high proportion of them were able to pass on in turn to their progeny. There are many semi-scientific theories suggesting that intelligence in humans is passed on through the X chromosome, which would appear to tie in with Linamix’s success as a broodmare sire as his trainer Francois Boutin always maintained that what made Linamix so special was the horse’s brain. Most top stallions are also top broodmare sires and Linamix falls into this category. If 18 per cent of his producing daughters have produced Group horses, 17 per cent of his fillies were black-type performers themselves. Broodmare sires have an influence, but it is not an absolute one and it is very easy to come up with top horses whose dams are by ordinary stallions. If you make a list of younger broodmare sires who have had Group winners most if not all were at one point in their stallion careers popular, expensive sires. In Europe, the list includes names such as Grand Lodge, Anabaa, Spectrum, Pivotal, Montjeu, Monsun, Peintre Celebre, Singspiel, Mark of Esteem, Zafonic, Sinndar, Desert Prince, Dr Fong and Danehill Dancer. Not all of these sires have successful sons at stud, but then successful stallions are rare and obviously rarer than successful mares, particularly now the best stallions cover 150 mares or more year in year out. Linamix is probably an example of a top stallion whose daughters were better producers than his sons, but then none of his sons was given a real chance at stud. It is always possible that the last of them, Rajsaman, will turn into a top stallion. One day we may be given the answers

by Equinome or a similar DNA testing programme, but for the time being, racing ability remains the most logical manner of selecting potential broodmares. There is a big difference between 27 per cent, the proportion of Linamix’s black-type mares who produce Group horses, and five per cent, the proportion of unraced Linamix

mares who do the same, particularly if you are paying for the covering fees and keep fees of these mares and their progeny. Perhaps the most surprising difference in the statistics on Linamix mares is the difference between black-type performers who produce Group horses and the ordinary winners. One in four of the black-type Linamix mares has become a top mare, and one in five of the ordinary winners. Given the way market determines value, it is perhaps these that breeders should be looking for. However, for Linamix it is already too late. So perhaps the sought-after fillies at the breeding stock sales should be winning daughters of Pivotal or Montjeu, but then they are both sires who could easily be missed.
Conclusion Linamix is clearly outstanding broodmare sire, and his record is set to improve further in years to come. From his first eight crops (1992 – 1999) Linamix produced 190 fillies. Of these: 46% were winners, 13% black-type performers, 4.2% Group winners. (Incidentally not as good as his colts overall). 125 of these have produced two or more foals, 33% have produced black-type performers and 16% Group winners, 5% Group 1 winners. Even among the daughters of a top broodmare sire performance is an excellent indicator of the ability to produce high class racehorses. Among the Linamix mares who have produced black-type performers, 95% raced, 78% were winners, 33% were rated higher than 95, and 75% were rated 70 or higher. Among the 66-winning Linamix mares from this period who have had more than two foals 41% are stakes producers and 23% have produced a Group winner.

A man who wears many hats

n racing, everyone wants to make big bucks. Yet only two people can truly say that they made Big Buck’s and they are Henry Poulat and Jean-Pierre de Gasté. The breeding of horses is not just art but a real science and digging deep into the origins of some of the world’s best-known horses often produces some of the most fascinating stories. In the case of the Paul Nicholls-trained Big Buck’s, the quadruple Ladbrokes World Hurdle winner, who is soon to run for his 18th straight win, it all started off with a conversation between two people. Henri Poulat had a mare named Buck’s whom he sent to the Haras de Gouffern et de Rabodanges when Jean-Pierre de Gasté suggested that she should be covered by France’s successful jump stallion Cadoudal. “We wanted to produce a jump horse,” recalls Jean-Pierre de Gasté, who comes from one of the oldest established racing families in France, hence it shouldn’t come as a surprise that he immediately saw the potential by crossing Buck’s with Cadoudal. “From his birth, one could see that he was going to be a strong horse,” adds de Gasté. “He stood absolutely correct. There was nothing one could criticise about him or what would shock. So was it a surprise that he went on to become such a brilliant hurdler? No not really.” Haras de Gouffern, situated in the Orne region, next to the National Stud Haras du Pin, was purchased by de Gasté in 1998 from Lawrence Gelb. For many years he ran it alongside the Haras de Rabondanges, located near to the Haras d’Ouilly, in the heart of the breeding country of France. It is quite a unique set-up as not only does it accommodate thoroughbreds, but also Purebred Arabians. This eclectic mix is the direct result of de Gasté’s forays into the Middle East more than 30 years ago when he decided to pay a visit “to the other culture passionate about horseracing”. “The first time I went to the Middle East was in 1976,” he smiles. “There are only a few peoples in this world truly passionate about horses and one of them is the people from the Middle East. So I decided to go there and see if I could interest them in thoroughbred racing.” At that time this was considered to be a bold move by a young man who only three years earlier had successfully started his career in the US, where he not only launched the French edition of The Blood-horse, but,
jean-pierre de gasté more importantly, at the age of 23, purchased his first Group 1 winner, Properantes. Making himself a name as an agent and also as a racing manager, which remains one of his favourite activities, was never going to be enough though for the dynamic horseman, particularly when he descends from a family that over many decades has been involved in improving, innovating and changing the history of horseracing. His great-grandfather Maurice de Gasté founded the French breeders’ association Jean-Pierre de Gasté: breeds top-class NH horses such as Big Buck’s, buys blue-bloods at Keeneland, manages racing operations in the Middle East, acted as chairman and president of the French Arabian Horse Racing Association, and yet has still found the time to help establish Qatar Racing and Equestrian Club sponsorship of the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe
and initiated the breeders’ premium scheme in France, which remains the envy of many other racing nations, while his father Pierre de Gasté, another not short of ideas, presiding over the breeders’ association and initiated the owners’ premiums. Blessed with great foresight and an astute business sense, de Gasté early on recognised the significance of the emerging Middle Eastern countries. “At the time I travelled to all the major countries of the Middle East, including Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Kuwait and Bahrain,” he explains. “When you run a stud, or want to buy horses, you obviously need clients and I thought, or hoped, to be able to interest investors from the Middle East in thoroughbreds. “When I visited Saudi Arabia I met Mahmoud Fustok, who in 1977 successfully started a racing stable in France.” But once again, buying horses and managing yards was not enough and by studying the market and looking ahead to the future, de Gasté realised that there was an unexploited opportunity in terms of sponsoring. “There were a number of races sponsored in France at the time,” he remembers. “Races such as the Arc were sponsored, but there was definitely an opportunity for my clients to become more involved with French racing and, at the same time, for a variety of races to receive the necessary improvement.” The race he chose for his clients and, more precisely, Mahmoud Fustok, was the Prix
Jean Prat, which in the early 1980s was then a Group 2 race. “Then there was a lack of decent three-year-old races over the mile in the French racing calendar after the French Guineas,” he explains. “Horses had to go either directly to the Jockey-Club or to the Prix d’Ispahan as the Prix Jean Prat was only a Group 2, even though it could have had Group 1 status. “So I approached Jean Romanet, the General Director of what was then the Société d’Encouragement (now France Galop), to see what could be done. Once I got the go-ahead, I suggested to my clients a sponsorship deal that would increase the prize-money and that would result in the race being promoted to Group 1 status.”
D
e Gasté’s resourcefulness proved to be a constructive step in the French racing programme. He followed up this initiative with securing the UAE sponsorship of the 1994 Prix du Jockey Club, which was linked with the inclusion of two major Arabian races on the same card. More recently, he has been involved with sponsorship of the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe, fervently believing that Arabian racing would bring investors from the Middle East to the thoroughbred industry and the fallout from the Arc sponsoring will prove him right. After taking those first important steps with Jean Romanet, he then pursued a similar relationship with his son Louis Romanet, who had taken over from his father at France Galop in 1986. “I had looked at the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe, a race which consistently had the highest-rating in the world, but was lacking behind other races in terms of prize-money. So the thought came to me to find a sponsor so that we could increase its prize-money to match the Arc’s reputation. “I was then chairman of French Arabian Racing so was in the fortunate position to be able to approach the head of the Qatar Racing and Equestrian Club, as well as France Galop with the suggestion of sponsorship. “The deal would also include an Arabian race to be held on the same day as the Arc. This last requirement was the key to a successful deal, but it wasn’t an easy request for Louis Romanet and France Galop to accept. Now there is a Group 1 PA (Purebred Arabian) race on the Arc card, the Qatar

Arabian World Cup – a few years ago that would have been an impossibility.” The word “impossibility” hardly features in de Gasté’s life and although he was brought up in thoroughbred racing, thanks to his many travels to the Middle East, he has also acquired clientele for Purebred Arabians. De Gasté, who has also taken back his family’s stud Haras de la Genevraye, an 1,100 acre estate in the Orne region that has been in his family’s possession since 1445, still spends at least one week a month in the Middle East where he continues to manage thoroughbred and Purebred Arabian stables with success. But he still keeps his thoroughbred hat firmly on his head and buys at Keeneland,
where he has been in the top five buyers more than once. He was the second-leading buyer in 2009 at the Keeneland and Fasig-Tipton breeding stock sales, and fourth-leading buyer at the same sales in 2011 with an outlay of $4,605,000. “I have studied the American and European bloodlines extensively,” he says, a fact that is proved by publishing the soughtafter “L’Evolution des grandes lignées males contemporaines” (The evolution of the major contemporary sire lines). “And for the Middle Eastern market, where horses race mainly on dirt, I prefer the US bloodlines, which are better adapted for running on the sand or dirt

“
tracks in the Middle East.” Between buying horses in the US, managing stables in the Middle East and running his studs, there is not much time left, but he is still full of new ideas for the future. “I believe that once more we need to interest new people in the sport,” he explains eagerly. “In the UK there are many syndicates, which I believe is a fabulous way of allowing someone to access the sport. In France, unfortunately, the laws for owning your own colours are very strict and it is not that easy to form a syndicate. “Luckily, we have Bertrand Bélinguier as President of France Galop. He is very active and open-minded and is working towards facilitating the creation of syndicates.” The offices of de Gasté’s bloodstock company I.T.C. (International Thoroughbred Consultants) created in the 1980s when he also extended his business to Japan, are constantly buzzing with new projects. There remains little time for his favourite past-time, which is hunting stags in the Forêt d’Ecouves, where he is the master of hounds. “Oh, don’t worry,” he smiles, as telephones ring in the background. “There is always time to go hunting. And you never know, the next person who joins us on the hunt might become a racehorse owner one day!” And with that, de Gasté turns to look at new horizons and new activities, the results of which are bound to turn up one day in the world’s massive landscape of racing opportunities. Big Buck’s: the wonderful hurdler has won the World Hurdle four times. Will he make it a fifth?

he weather hasn’t always been kind to Dubai Day at Newbury. In many memories the year 2009 still sticks like cold glue as an example of what not to order for a perfect day at the races. But even that sodden afternoon which, amazingly, still failed to dampen many spirits, shrinks into the “Mildly Disagreeable” category when compared with what was on offer on September 23, 2012. Motorway drivers needed periscopes to
catch occasional glimpses of the cars in front. Figures resembling Sir Ranulph Fiennes were said to have been spotted heading out of Berkshire in full polar gear. Noah would have panicked. Diehard Dubai Day devotees are, however, made of sterner stuff. Dressed for Cheltenham in March, the tough got going with big smiles on their faces, and began the important work of filling up dustbins with inside-out umbrellas. Attendance is hard to record when entry is free, but the crowd was probably down a bit on previous years as, inexplicably, some Newbury locals, who usually turn up en masse, huddled at home round TV sets watching Man.Utd -Liverpool instead. Those who did come through though showed plenty of what might once have been called “the Blitz spirit”. In this they were aided by perennial Dubai Day compere Derek Thompson, a man for whom the adjectives “indomitable” and “indefatigable” are woefully inadequate. Faced by plagues of frogs, Martian invasion or Armageddon, “Thommo” would no doubt describe them as “little local difficulties”. Mere biblical downpours, winds that crack cheeks and Shakespearean “hurricanoes” just make him chortle even more than usual. Was he downhearted? No! Were we? Well, not really. Not once things got started anyway. One or two stallholders, although not the jolly family who’d come from Merthyr in South Wales to sell hot roast pork baps and baguettes (no religious dietary restrictions here) were maybe a little disgruntled by the fact that a lot of people spent a lot of time in the relatively cosy shelter of the stands. Some of the entries in the Best Dressed Lady competition looked as though they wouldn’t mind a quarter of an hour or so in front of a fan heater. And one little girl, aged about four, did spend several minutes screaming at the top of a voice Lady Ga Ga would die for. But it turned out that was only because her five-year-old brother, who lurked smirking like Mack The Knife, had deliberately smudged her face-painted cheek
whiskers, then laughed at her because she looked “silly”. The (indoor) henna hand-decorating stall was, on the other hand, permanently overflowing. The Dubaian hosts, proving the theory that what you don’t get much of at home is what you really want plenty of when you travel overseas, strolled round sedately amid all the meteorological vileness. Very few allowed themselves to get down. What some of those who always go for the fun, the goodie bags and the raffles sometimes forget though about Dubai International Arabian Raceday, of which this was the 30th renewal, is that this much more than just an outdoor party. It has been described as Arabian racing’s equivalent of the Arc. But since Arc day also sees Group 1 Arabian racing, it’s something more than that too. Effectively these are Arabian racing’s annual Olympics.
T
o some extent then the crowd is divided between the fun-lovers who trip along just for the crack and the prizes, and the serious racing people for whom all that is just a pleasant adjunct. Whether Sheikh Hamdan is succeeding in his aim of converting the unconverted to the sophistication and complexity of Arabian racing is anybody’s guess. But if what might be called “the casuals” listened to Tadgh O’Shea being interviewed during the preliminary Parade of Champions, they might have got some clue about what makes Arabian racing so fascinating to those who love it. “I’d say the horses are a lot cleverer than thoroughbreds,” said the Irishman. “So they take a bit more riding and kidding along.” The Parade, which included famous endurance champions as well as conventional racehorses and the intriguingly versatile ‘Show Jumping, Eventing and Side-Saddle Champion, pure bred Arab AV Kubla Khan’, didn’t quite get the attention it deserved while everyone was busy getting to grips with the elements. If they’d listened to Thommo though they would have heard a reassuring

forecast: “This rain will blow away soon. It’s gonna be a lovely, warm, dry, sunny afternoon.” Unfortunately there was a long delay before the first race, a reminder that all racing is dangerous business, when Raihan apparently got down in the stalls, injuring his jockey Leah Anne Avery. The word “apparently” is used here in its secondary sense as the 7f start was all but obscured by the deluge. To cheer everyone up while the support ambulance arrived Thommo interviewed some of the ladies: “Hello. What’s your name?”; “Zara”; “And where do you come from Zara?”; “Coventry”; “Coventry? Oh, that’s a lovely part of the world!” After each race there were prizes: for the Best Children’s Hat; the Most Colourful Camel (papier mâché models decorated by children from local schools), and, for the adults, draws for Gucci watches and holidays in Dubai. Guests would be flown out, our MC assured us: “On Emirates, the world’s greatest airline.” You might think with all the extolling of Dubai and its works that there might be huge social ditches built between the VIPs and the rest of us, but not at all. There’s no segregation in the crowd on Dubai Day. Anyone can wander pretty much anywhere they like as long as they don’t frighten the horses. With no grim-faced Jobsworths telling people they can’t come here or go there without the right badge, this is as close to social equality as is to be found in British racing. There’s egalitarianism too in the food stalls. One proudly offered “Cod and Chips,
Sausage and Chips, Chicken and Chips, Curry Sauce and Chips, and Chips”. If you didn’t fancy Chips, there were jellied eels round the corner; and for those who just can’t be satisfied by the people’s food, the stall offering “Gourmet Burgers” was self-explanatory. The racing is what matters though, if to some more than others. There was no better illustration of how much it matters than in the aftermath of the Group 1 Jebel Ali Racecourse Zaabeel International Stakes, which produced the closest finish of the day. In the bar at that moment stood a young man in a beige raincoat of the sort much favoured by Frenchmen. For the minute or so it took the judge to blink through the
pixels he stood absolutely still, exactly like one of those living statues who earn a living in tourist spots just by remaining motionless. Superstition? Maybe. Then when the result was called, the man spun on his heel and punched the air several times like a crazed footballer before running out to the winner’s enclosure in ecstasy. He was Monsieur Damien De Watrigant trainer of Hilal Al Zaman, who had just edged out the favourite Aziz, representative of the seemingly all-powerful Julian Smart.
I
n the other Group 1s Mkeefa (trained by J. Smart) took the Shadwell Farm Hatta International Stakes; Mu’Azzaz (trained by J. Smart) took the Shadwell Dubai International Stakes, and then M. De Watrigant completed a double by taking the Group 2 Emirates Equestrian Federation International Stakes for Sheikh Hamdan, whose party this is, with Manark. It should go without saying that all the day’s winners were horses who can handle mud. An even finer pinnacle of excitement came with the very last race, the relatively modest Naip Handicap Stakes, for as it approached any one of three jockeys, Steve Harrison, Simon Walker and Phil Collington, could take the riders’ championship depending on where they finished. About halfway through the race an attractive young woman fixated on the bar TV began to shout: “Come on Barry!”. As the race progressed she continued to shout the same three words, over and over again. As the horses reached the line her voice reached crescendo, the final “Come on Barry”
arabian racing being lost in her scream of triumph. Puzzled punters consulting racecards could see that the only possible Barry riding in the race was Mr B. Adams, who’d finished third, but the screaming lady was a friend of Barry’s and also of Mrs Phil Collington who was standing beside her. By keeping Steve and Simon out of the frame, Barry, she felt, had played his part in giving the championship to Phil, who in any case won the race on Nasemah. For average Joe and Josephine Racegoer however, a yet giddier climax was still to come. The free “Mega Draw” for a new red Chrysler car takes place after the last race. Anyone who fails to stay the course by not being there fails to win, even if their ticket gets drawn. As wind-driven rain sluiced down yet more venomously, the big moment arrived. “And the winner is…” cried Thommo, “Mrs Lynne Lewis of Harlow!” No-one in the large crowd round the parade ring moved. There were repeated calls for Mrs Lewis. Then, just as the plug seemed sure to be pulled, a middle-aged couple burst out of the stands and as near Usain Bolted as they could manage towards the dais. Waving his sodden racecard, Mr Lewis got there first. Breathless, Lynne followed. They’d made it in time. Their joy was unconfined. For the rest of us there were pens and notebooks and backscratchers and peaked caps and cuddly toys (don’t forget the cuddly toys) in our goodie bags. Ranulph Fiennes is going to cross Antarctica in winter next year. Dubai Day is a people’s party as well as a race meeting. It just deserves better weather.

Pure Joy
More Joyous traces to the beginnings of the thoroughbred John Singleton’s champion homebred mare More Joyous is the best galloper from her family since the mighty 19th century British mare Sceptre. More Joyous has now won 21 races from 28 starts and earnings of over $4.4 million. Over 100 years have elapsed since Sceptre glorified racing in Britain. Her relationship to More Joyous, a blueblooded product of More Than Ready’s mating with Sunday Joy, the AJC Oaks winner who was foaled in Australia following a mating in Japan between the champion sire Sunday Silence and Danehill’s Queensland Oaks winner Joie Denise, is but a pin prick in a reservoir of genes. Sceptre, herself, was a fine example of bloodline excellence, and is connected to More Joyous as she was by one of St Simon’s greatest sons Persimmon, and out of the Bend Or mare Ornament. She was sister to the English Triple Crown winner Ormonde, a grand-daughter of Polly Agnes and a halfsister to the French Oaks winner Little Agnes, and a remote ancestress on the bottom line of the pedigree of More Joyous. Sceptre ran in five English Classics for four victories collecting the 2,000 Guineas, 1,000 Guineas, the Oaks and the St Leger and just falling short with a fourth in the Epsom Derby. She won 13 of 24 appearances for her owner, the charismatic gambler Robert Sievier, who bought Sceptre as a yearling for a world record price of 10,000gns. Like many exalted racemares, Sceptre failed to produce performers anywhere near her own merit, but she appears in a huge number of pedigrees around the world
80
www.internationalthoroughbred.net
through Petitioner, sire of Pas de Nom, the dam of Danzig. Petitioner was by Petition, a colt out of Art Trial, a daughter of Quire, and granddaughter of Sceptre. Quire’s dam Queen Carbine was bred in England using Australian champion Carbine and Sceptre. The direct tail female ancestress of More Joyous, descends from the Agnes family through the mare Fun For All, the first Australian-bred in the pedigree. One of the strongest branches in the world today of the so successful Agnes family appears to be that of the More Joyous family with the key to its success being the transitional powers passed on by one of Australia’s best modern-day matriarchs,
Denise’s Joy. The third dam of More Joyous, the T.J. Smith-trained Denise’s Joy, won 13 races including the VRC Oaks, QTC Oaks, WATC Australian Derby, Underwood Stakes, Turnbull Stakes, Bloodhorse Breeders’ Plate and Moonee Valley Stakes. She also finished second in the Golden Slipper, Silver Slipper, AJC Champagne Stakes and Queensland Derby. Bred at Oakleigh Stud in the Widden Valley, Denise’s Joy was by Seventh Hussar (Queen’s Hussar) from Fun For All, a Pipe Of Peace mare who traces back to Little Agnes. Like Sceptre, Denise’s Joy was not a great producer of winners, but she has made a huge contribution through her later generations.

Fertility decline forces Flying Spur into retirement
C
hampion sire Flying Spur has been retired from the stallion roster at Arrowfield Stud at the age of 20 due to fertility issues. Arrowfield’s John Messara said the son of Danehill had experienced a sudden and irreversible decline in fertility this season. “Flying Spur is a special horse for us, as we bred him, raced him in partnership and have been proud to stand him since 1997,” Messara said. “He is one of the pillars upon which Arrowfield Stud has been built and his home will be here with us for the rest of his life.” Flying Spur was trained by Lee Freedman to win the 1995 Golden Slipper and added the Australian Guineas and All Aged Stakes to his Group 1 tally in 1996 and was retired to stud later that year. His first crop of two-year-olds appeared in 1999 taking him to champion first-season sire honours. He won the general sires’ premiership in 2007, the year his daughter Forensics won the Golden Slipper.
Flying Spur statistics More Joyous: can trace through her dam line to the “Agnes family”, profiled this month by Alan Porter as it was also responsible for the Tattersalls sale topper and this year’s Arc winner

She produced 10 foals for three winners, the only offspring of consequence being Queensland Oaks winner Joie Denise, the grand-dam of More Joyous. Acquiring the Arrowfield-bred Joie Denise has reaped rewards for John Singleton's Strawberry Hill Stud and trainer Gai Waterhouse. Besides More Joyous, who can boast of eight Group 1 wins to date, (AJC Doncaster, George Main Stakes, Flight Stakes, Queen Elizabeth Stakes, Queen of the Turf twice, Futurity Stakes and Toorak Handicap), and Sunday Joy (AJC Oaks), connections have also enjoyed success with Tuesday Joy, a half-sister by the Sadler’s Wells Prix de l’ Arc de Triomphe winner Carnegie. Tuesday Joy won seven Group 1 and
Group 2 races (STC BMW, Chipping Norton, Ranvet, Coolmore Classic, Apollo Stakes, Wakeful Stakes and W H Stocks Stakes) and finished second in the VRC Oaks and third in the AJC Derby and AJC Oaks. Tuesday Joy has produced fillies by More Than Ready (2011) and Street Cry (2012), while Sunday Joy had fillies by More Than Ready in 2010 and 2012. There will be ample opportunity for the Denise’s Joy branch of the family to build on 37 stakes winners. Other Grouup 1 performers descending from Denise’s Joy include Miss Danehill, Pentastic, Arlington Road, Euphoria, Christmas Tree, Light Up The World, World Peace, Bentley Biscuit, Thorn Park and Stryker.

New Randwick 1200m record Ad Valorem and for colt by More Than Ready Reset stakes wins Trainer Kelly Schweida has serious Group 1 ambitions for her lightly raced three-year-old colt Better Than Ready after he lowered Randwick’s 1200m track record in the Listed Brian Crowley Stakes in October. Sold at the same weanling sale as Pierro, the rising Queensland star flew home to set a new track record for the 6f trip – stopping the clock in a blistering 1.08.19. The track record was previously held by Northern Meteor when he won the same race as a three-year-old before he went onto success at Group 1 level. Better Than Ready was originally purchased for A$120,000 by Blue Sky Thoroughbreds at the 2010 Magic Millions National Weanling Sale. He was bred and sold by Ian Smith’s Edinburgh Park, the farm best known for producing Hong Kong champion Silent Witness and his Group-winning half-sibling Sister Madly. Better Than Ready was then offered as a yearling when purchased by Schweida for A$140,000 from the draft of Newgate Farm at the 2011 Australian Easter Yearling Sale. The colt is the 107th stakes winner for Vinery’s champion sire son More Than Ready and is the first stakes winner for his dam, the young Sydney winner Sally’s World (Agnes World). Sally’s World is a half-sister to the stakes winners Publishing and Miss Mooney Mooney, out of the Magic Millions 2YO Classic runner-up Sally Magic, a daughter of Group 1-winning sprinter Keltrice. Another More Than Ready three-year-old Brave Soul, out of the mare Soul Singer, a daughter of Danehill, finished third in the same race. More Than Ready added a second stakes winner to his tally on the same day when Al Aneed, out of another daughter of Danehill, won the Listed Gothic Stakes at Caulfield. More Than Ready now boasts 107 stakes winners worldwide.
The Ad Valorem four-year-old Free Wheeling has a Group 1 target at the Melbourne Carnival after posting his third career stakes victory in the Caulfield Village Stakes at Caulfield. Resuming off a recent barrier trial victory, Free Wheeling, out of the Last Tycoon mare Miss Carefree, won by a length-and-three-quarters from the Lonhro gelding Petman and will now be aimed at the Group 1 Emirates Stakes on November 10. Ad Valorem (Danzig) is the sire of seven southern-hemisphere stakes winners, including Group 2 winner Pied A Terre and recent Group 3 winner Detours. The Reset mare Star Of Giselle became the 19th stakes winner for her sire with victory in the Listed RaceTech Stakes. Reset, a son of Zabeel, is also the sire of the impressive dual stakes winner Fawkner, as well as last year’s Group 1 WS Cox Plate winner Pinker Pinker.
Black Caviar’s half-brother wins a Group 1 THE three-year-old colt All Too Hard gave his owner Patinack Farm the result it badly needed when he lived up to his potential by eclipsing the previously undefeated Pierro in the stallion-making race, the Group 1 Caulfield Guineas. All Too Hard (Casino Prince) cost A$1,025,000 as a yearling at the Sydney Easter Sale and has always carried high expectations as a half-brother to world champion sprinter Black Caviar. While he had recorded wins up to Group 2 level last season, the requisite to secure his stud value has always been a Group 1 win and he duly ensured his future breeding stocks with a classy victory over the triple Group 1 winner Pierro and the Group 1 Golden Rose winner Epaulette. His rider Dwayne Dunn summed up the feelings of his connections. “This was always the grand final, his main king pin race,” said Dunn. “Obviously, Patinack is a big supporter
82
www.internationalthoroughbred.net
of our industry and it’s really good to see them get a really top line horse like this.” All Too Hard was purchased by John, Wayne and Michael Hawkes for Nathan Tinkler’s Patinack Farm from the draft of Makybe as agent for Gilgai Farm at the 2011 Australian Easter Yearling Sale. Bred by Rick Jamieson of Gilgai Farm, Black Caviar (Bel Esprit) and All Too Hard are two of the first three foals out of Helsinge, a daughter of Desert Sun. Helsinge was never able to demonstrate her own talent due to an injury suffered soon after her sale as a yearling. At A$300,000, she was one of the most expensive yearling fillies sold by her sire. She is a half-sister to the Group 1 winner and sire Magnus. All Too Hard is bred along similar lines to Magnus (Flying Spur) as his sire Casino Prince is also by the recently retired champion son of Danehill. Inbred 4x4 to Danzig, All Too Hard is a
stand-out from the first crop of Casino Prince, being the sire’s first Group 1 winner. Casino Prince won the Chipping Norton Stakes (G1) and became a foundation sire for Tinkler when he established Patinack. All Too Hard carries another three strains of Northern Dancer (Nearctic) through Fanfreluche, Try My Best and Grand Chaudiere. There are interesting similarities in the pedigrees of Casino Prince and Green Desert (Danzig), sire of All Too Hard’s dam sire Desert Sun, as both stallions are bred on a Danzig/Never Bend cross. A winner of the Group 2 VRC Sires’ Produce Stakes and the Group 2 Pago Pago Stakes as a two-year-old, All Too Hard has now won four of his eight career starts. Helsinge’s fourth foal, a filly by Redoute’s Choice, was sold for A$2.6 million at this year’s Easter Yearling Sale. Gilgai Farm has a Redoute’s Choice yearling, while a sister to Black Caviar is due in coming weeks.

Lameness assessment in the 21st century...
Man v machine by Thilo Pfau, PhD, Lecturer in Bio-Engineering, Veterinary Clinical Sciences, Royal Veterinary College The lameness examination
Lameness is the most common health problem in horses and an accurate diagnosis is essential for successful treatment. Lameness cases require a thorough work-up and any lameness exam has to essentially answer three questions: which is the lame leg (or legs), which anatomical structure is affected, and, finally, what is the cause of the problem? The first step is to watch the horse move. Lameness can be defined as a change in the normal movement pattern of a horse irrespective of the cause of it. When only one leg is affected this leads to a left-right asymmetry in movement, but when more than one leg is affected the movement patterns become more complex. To be able to appreciate changes in patterns veterinarians watch a horse move in different gaits, on different surfaces, on the straight and on the circle, in-hand and ridden. The second step is to pinpoint the site of lameness. This can be easy in some cases, e.g. where an obvious swelling indicates the involvement of a specific joint, bone or tendon, although sometimes this can be misleading and lead to a biased decision. More often than not, however, the localisation of the site of the problem requires nerve and joint blocks. These aim to “numb” specific structures – pretty much the same technique dentists before they work on a specific tooth. Once a horse becomes (temporarily) sound after an area is numbed, the veterinarian can deduct that this is the site of the problem. The third step is to find out what the actual problem is. To do this, the previously identified area is imaged using the appropriate modality, e.g. radiographs for bones and joints, ultrasound for tendons and, in more complicated cases, magnetic resonance imaging.
In this article we will describe how modern technology can assist in the first two essential steps of lameness investigations, the identification of the affected limb(s) and structures. For the third step we have already arrived in the 21st century – expensive and powerful diagnostic tools are available such as MRI, CT, digital radiography, scintigraphy and ultrasound.
Detecting and grading of lameness “by eye”
Traditionally, lameness assessment has been performed by “eye” using a number of classic lameness indicators. For forelimb lameness, the most commonly used sign of lameness is the head nod (Buchner et al, 1996) – an increased downward movement of the head when the sound limb contacts the ground. For hind limb lameness the most commonly used indicator is the hip hike – an increased upwards movement of the hip on the side of the lame limb (May and Wyn-Jones, 1987). These are used in addition to other indicators such as stride length, foot placement, stride arc and many others. It is safe to say that probably each horse vet (and rider) has developed their own unique way to recognise lameness! It should thus not be surprising that scientific studies have consistently shown that lameness grading “by eye” is a very subjective process and that even experienced clinicians often disagree with each other (Keegan et al, 1998, 2010). The “by eye” approach forms the basis of any lameness investigation, however there is one major shortcoming: the ability of humans to detect mild movement asymmetries is limited (Parkes et al, 2009). This obviously poses a problem in horses with mild lameness, but also in horses that have problems in more than one leg, where
compensatory movements may “cancel out” asymmetries. Detecting the mild changes in movement patterns before and after nerve/ and joint blocks or the changes in movement patterns as a result of (successful) treatment can also prove challenging, in particular when a horse is only seen at relatively big time intervals or even by different clinicians.
Objective detection and grading of lameness
Researchers in gait laboratories around the world have long been interested in developing more objective methods for quantification of lameness with the help of technology, aiming to overcome the restrictions of subjective grading “by eye”. For example, force platforms allow accurate measuring of the forces applied to the ground by each individual limb – a feature that cannot be sensed directly when watching a horse move (Weishaupt). Optical motion capture systems measure movement of head, body and limbs of the horse in three-dimensional space (3D) (Kramer et al, 2004, Buchner et al, 1996, Peham) with sub-millimetre accuracy and can capture many images per second – much more accurately than standard video cameras and typically up to 50 times faster than the human eye. However, the prohibitively high cost has limited these two technical approaches to specialised gait laboratories and the techniques lack the necessary portability required during the clinical lameness exam. The equipment is either permanently mounted or cannot be moved easily between sites. If not used in conjunction with a treadmill (and horses need to be properly habituated to these!), then only a very limited number of strides can be captured and usually only during movement on the straight on a (comparatively) hard and artificial surface.

gait analysis
The “up-down” movement of head (poll), withers, croup (pelvis) and left (LTC) and right (RTC) hip in a horse trotting in-hand on a hard non-slip surface. Thick blue line represents the average stride under this condition, thin light blue lines show more than 50 individual strides, and the black line at the bottom of each graph represents the amount of asymmetry between the two halves of the stride. Grey bars indicate approximate mid stance of right front (RF), left front (LF), right hind (RH) and left hind (LH) limbs. This horse shows a very mild right hind limb lameness (subjective grading: one tenth) manifested by a reduced upwards movement of the croup during RH stance (solid black oval, top right) compared to LH stance (red oval, top right) and increased movement of the right hip (RTC) compared to the left hip (bottom row), the typical hip hike (May and Wyn-Jones, 1987): movement amplitude of the hip approximately 2cm higher on the right, constituting approximately 25 per cent difference and hence right at the limit of the visual perception (Parkes et al, 2009).
Sensor-based assessment
More portable tools providing accurate measurements are required to capture and analyse all the stages of an entire lameness exam (sometimes stretching out over several days) to support evidence-based clinical decision-making or to evaluate the success of a particular training or rehabilitation regime. Recent development in sensor technology has solved this problem: newly designed and validated is an accurate, practical technological alternative gauge of movement under “real-life” conditions. Small and lightweight inertial sensors can be attached to the horse (and the rider) in strategically chosen locations to provide quantative information about lameness related parameters such as head nod or hip hike. Similar technology is used in cars to decide when to deploy airbags or in modern “SmartPhones” and gaming consoles for
86
www.internationalthoroughbred.net
natural interaction with the devices. The sensors only require a small laptop or tablet computer within range of the horse (typically around 50m: enough to span most riding arenas!) to control data collection and analysis. There are no dangerously trailing wires, cameras mounted on tripods in the riding arena or force platforms embedded in the ground (hard work and even sometimes difficult to find once buried!). It is now easy to assess different gaits (walk, trot, canter and gallop) on the straight, on the lunge, on different surfaces and even under the saddle. Sensors are attached exclusively to the upper body of the horse: no sensors are attached to the limbs thus avoiding “abnormal” movements that can, for example, be seen when horses wear boots or bandages. More importantly this also allows the
veterinarian unrestricted access for palpation during flexion tests and for joint or nerve blocks. Using the system throughout all stages of the lameness exam, we can make the most powerful use of our objective data and use each horse as its own control – comparing and quantifying the movement patterns before and after an intervention and providing real-time feedback after each stage of the exam. If “baseline” data – collected at a time before the onset of lameness – are available, it is not only possible to compare between before and after an intervention, but also to quantify how well the movement pattern after a successful block resembles the pattern observed before the onset of the problem. In contrast to human gait laboratories, where normal data bases are commonly available, these extensive data bases have not (yet) been established in horses and

gait analysis
The “up-down” movement of the same horse overleaf, but 40 minutes after a successful stifle joint block. The movement of the croup is more symmetrical (top right) and the upwards movement of left and right hip shows more similar amplitudes (bottom row): the difference between left and right hip has now decreased to just below 1cm (approximately 10 per cent difference); this is likely below the perception threshold (Parkes et al, 2009) and hence additional movement parameters might be essential for a subjective assessment in this condition, however the sensitive movement sensors can reliably show this very small difference before and after a successful joint block.
data suggest that baseline symmetry varies substantially between individual horses – likely depending on their use. Hence, a general lameness threshold might be hard or even impossible to set, emphasising the benefit of easy-to-use systems that can be employed throughout an entire lameness workup and that allow quick and accurate collection of baseline data. Apart from purely lameness related questions, sensors can also prove useful to assess back movement (Warner et al 2010) and, finally, objective and relevant data can be collected in “poor-performance” horses. Further miniaturisation will eventually allow for sensors to be placed under the saddle and then complement pressure mat data relating the observed loads with information about spinal ranges of movement.
Practical considerations:
With sensor-based systems, equine gait analysis has now arrived in the real world and real-life movement parameters can be
assessed that are highly relevant for clinical decision making. System setup can be achieved within minutes and results are, depending on the exact system, available immediately. However, as with any other technology aiming to assist diagnosis and treatment in patients, specific care has to be taken that a system (1) has been thoroughly validated and (2) scientific evidence has been generated showing how to use the data in all applicable different conditions and to carefully advise the users of the limitations. The system has been thoroughly validated against state-of-the-art motion capture technology for trunk movement (Pfau et al, 2005) and for over ground locomotion of spinal movement (Warner et al, 2010). Currently, we concentrate on reference data for lunging (Starke et al, 2012, Pfau et al, in Press), from different cohorts of horses, for back movement and for horse rider-interaction (Robartes, under review), and have successfully used the
system during clinical decision-making in Equine Referral Hospital.
Conclusion
Sensor-based gait assessment now allows practical and accurate assessment of horse movement in support of the decisionmaking process during the clinical lameness workup. No matter how much these sensor systems will improve – and there is no doubt (at least in my mind) that we will see considerable progress in terms of accuracy and practicality – they will never replace an experienced veterinarian. However, thoroughly validated systems will improve evidence-based treatment programmes, support student teaching and make complex lameness examinations more transparent for the horse owner. The ease-of-use of these systems now finally makes baseline assessment possible allowing the collection of valuable reference data for future comparison and enabling us to use each horse as its own control.

Saoirse Abu (Mr Greeley – Out Too Late (Future Storm))

T
he victory of Ennistown in a Haydock maiden on heavy ground in late September may not have been the most high-profile result of recent weeks, but it was a significant moment nonetheless, marking as it did the first win by the son of the former top racemare Saoirse Abu. Saoirse Abu, a daughter of Mr Greeley, was twice a Group 1 winner during her own career, but she really hit the headlines in 2008 when topping the Tattersalls December Mares Sale selling for 1,950,000gns at a time when the world was being plunged into economic freefall. The racing industry often appears to exist outside of reality when it comes to economics – the telephone number price tags of the 1980s being the most potent symbol – but it is still an industry governed by supply and demand and the economic crisis that began in 2008 had a significant affect on both production and spend. There is no doubt that a period of market readjustment was inevitable following the heady heights in the mid-2000s. However, the reduction in aggregate of 47 per cent at the Tattersalls December Mares Sale in 2008 was a savage drop that left many vendors

reeling, and heralded the start of a period of austerity in the bloodstock world. These things are, of course, all relative in racing; with the global economy in recession, the bloodstock industry tightened its collective belt, slashing stallion fees and curtailing spend at the sales. That sale took a massive hit in turnover, but the 610 mares who did find new homes garnered an aggregate of 33,355,150gns. While this was a huge and painful drop from the dizzying heights of 2007 when 762 mares changed hands for 69,613,500gns, but to the wider world the sum hardly sounded a death knell to the production of what is essentially a luxury product. The 2008 mares’ catalogue was also somewhat hampered by a lack of quality; the previous two years had seen extraordinary strength in depth, and in 2007 an amazing ten lots made seven-figure sums. A year later, that number was reduced to just three, and the name on the ticket for each of those was John Ferguson. It hardly needs saying that Sheikh Mohammed’s vast global racing and breeding interests are a mainstay of the industry, his support invaluable at all levels. At the December Mares Sale in 2008 his spend
amounted to 6,615,000gns for six lots, of which 5,450,000gns went on the top three. The trio had one thing in common – youth. The oldest, Princesse Dansante, offered in foal to Dansili, was only five, and both Saoirse Abu and Lady Marian were three-year-olds. Ferguson was quick to confirm that his new purchases would also share a common theme the following breeding season, when two of the three – Lady Marian continued racing – would be used to support their new owner’s equally young stallions. The previous year Sheikh Mohammed had been on a stallion spending spree that included nine young hopefuls and shares in the more established Invincible Spirit and Distorted Humor. Among the young guns on his shopping list were two Derby winners in Authorized and Street Sense, and several leading juveniles including Teofilo, New Approach and Raven’s Pass, with the latter two boasting significant Group/Grade 1 victories by the time they retired to stud in 2009. Even prior to her purchase Authorized was pencilled in for Saoirse Abu with Ferguson confirming at the time of sale that: “Although we don’t normally plan before buying a mare, the cross of a mare by Gone West

Saoirse Abu (Mr Greeley – Out Too Late (Future Storm))
S
aoirse Abu’s family is one with which Sheikh Mohammed is very familiar. The mare’s dam, the Future Storm mare Out Too Late, was an unraced half-sister to Morning Devotion, who produced the outstanding mare Balanchine, who gave the Sheikh success in both the Oaks and Irish Derby after his purchase as part of package of four horses from Robert Sangster. And if her pedigree were not temptation enough, Saoirse Abu was also a top-class performer herself, racing for a partnership of Ennistown Stud and her trainer Jim Bolger. Third on debut at Naas in the May of her two-year-old season – those in arrears included the subsequent Grade 1 winner Tuscan Evening – Saoirse Abu recorded her first victory later that month at The Curragh, winning by 4l in a 6f maiden. The manner of her victory earned her a step up to Pattern company and she finished second, beaten a length by Giant’s Causeway’s sister You’resothrilling, in the Group 3 Swordlestown Stud Sprint Stakes over a trip that was beginning to look inadequate. Defeat in two Listed contests followed, and Saoirse Abu’s entry in the Group 1 Phoenix Stakes in August looked speculative at best, reflected by her odds of 25-1. Sporting first-time blinkers though, Saoirse Abu sliced her way through a small field to win by a length, overturning the odds-on favourite Henrythenavigator, with another Royal Ascot winner, the Queen Mary heroine Elletelle, in third. For whatever reasons, her victory still did not convince punters that she was a genuine Group 1 performer. In her next start, back against her own sex in the Group 1 Moyglare Stud Stakes, Saoirse Abu was the only Group 1 winner among the seven runners, but was still sent off at 13-2, with the Group 2-placed Listen the 4-5 favourite. Fortunately, no one had told Saoirse Abu that she was not supposed to win, and the filly once again showed her dominance, defeating Listen by a length and a half.
“
Since foaling Ennistown, Saoirse Abu has produced a yearling filly by Exceed And Excel, a colt foal by Shamardal and is back in foal to the latter
It would be her last victory: three weeks later, Listen turned the tables in the Group 1 Fillies’ Mile, and although she finished a close third to Natagora in the 1,000 Guineas the following season, Saoirse Abu retired the winner of three of her 11 starts. That two of those wins came in Group 1 company marked her as a serious talent, however. Since foaling Ennistown, Saoirse Abu has produced a yearling filly by Exceed And Excel, a colt foal by Shamardal and is back in foal to the latter. Ennistown is also the latest in a string of successes for Authorized, a stallion who made a quiet start to his stallion career, but is gaining momentum with each passing week

of the late season. His tally now includes four stakes winners. Of the two mares who also breached the million mark at Tattersalls four years ago, Lady Marian is the dam of fillies by Cape Cross and Invincible Spirit and is also carrying to Shamardal, while Princesse Dansante, purchased in foal to Dansili, produced a filly from her 2009 mating to Teofilo, and has since foaled colts by Invincible Spirit and Cape Cross. Ennistown has since finished second to Linguine in a conditions race at Leicester looking a little green under pressure, but certainly a type to do better over further and as a three-year-old. He is certainly one to bear in mind for the future.
