first word

Until a month ago...

...the Arc was looking as though it would be a sub-standard affair, but, writes Paul Haigh, four weeks is a long time in horseracing

nly a couple of months ago it was hard to see where a convincing cast list for the 2013 Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe was going to come from. The world’s greatest horse race, by official measurement based on the performance levels of its dramatis personae both before and after each running over a period of years (which is the only measurement that counts) not only lacked a star, it lacked so many supporting characters we were beginning to check out the spear carriers themselves for any signs of talent. Never mind Hamlet without the Prince, the Arc was looking like omelette without the oeufs. In the post-Frankel era the older horses, as of course they had to by comparison, have simply lacked distinction. The myth of Al Kazeem’s new found invincibility was exposed in the Juddmonte International and then again in Ireland by The Fugue. The three-year-olds, as everyone thought they knew by then, were just a lost generation. Worst of all, the horse who at Longchamp in October 2012 had performed the previously unheard of feat of completely outclassing his rivals while somehow managing to lose the race, was languishing under heavy clouds. These were darkened not just by his own curious personality disorders, but also by the possibility that a tendency to bleed might mean he’d never strut the stage

The Fugue collected her second Group 1 this year in Ireland, with Al Kazeem (blue) second. She will only run in the Arc if it stops raining, while the colt has been declared a very likely runner

“

Never mind Hamlet without the Prince, the Arc was looking like omelette without the oeufs again – unless his connections improbably decided to give him the chance to learn how not to bump into the scenery in the land of opportunity and Lasix. Novellist’s imperious display in the King George had been greeted at the time by sighs of relief as well as gloomier observations that here again was proof that these days the Germans know how to produce proper 1m4f horses, if nothing else. (And look at the state of their racing in spite of – or is it because of? – this ability). That splendid trouper St Nicholas Abbey had been pencilled in for a leading role in the autumn more because he was almost guaranteed not to fluff lines rather than because of an ability to produce Kean-like flashes of lightning. (Remember what The Great One did to him at York last year?). His loss to racing was a serious one because of his likeable reliability, but endurable as we cheered him on in his fight for life and happiness at stud.

first word But suddenly in September the leading actors began pouring out of the wings. Well, not pouring exactly but at least making themselves the opposite of anonymous. This was trials time after all. So why should we have been surprised? The Fugue’s fluent defeat of Al Kazeem in the Irish Champion wasn’t really an Arc indicator. She needs fast ground to show her very best and will be looking for it in California rather than the Bois de Boulogne. But Arc trials day at Longchamp itself on September 15 did indeed provide the longed for revelations. Treve’s dazzling victory in the Prix Vermeille (G1) saw her installed for an hour or two as Arc favourite on her own. A simplistic look at the form might invite worry as to whether a defeat of Wild Coco, however comfortable, really entitled her to have her name in lights for the biggest show on earth. But it was the way she did it that prompted memories of all the other fillies who’ve turned up in Paris in the autumn and made the males look like extras. The Prix Niel, that best of all

“

But Orfevre shouldered the others aside with all the effortless superiority of Orson Welles upstaging his fellow act-ors in the days before he got fat guides to what’s going to happen on the first Sunday in October, seemed inconclusive. But how can anyone grumble about a race that saw the Derby winner and the Japanese Derby winner cross the line together. If you wanted to be pessimistic you could say it shows Kizuna’s been overrated. If you wanted to be optimistic you could say that Ruler Of The World was returning to his Epsom form (although Galileo Rock’s loss to Leading Light in the St Leger hardly promoted the idea that this was

anything to drool about). Had the winner of the Niel, Kizuna, been left with more to work on after the rehearsal, or will Aidan O’Brien find hidden depths in the second? Will we be bothering with either when show time arrives?

ut now we come to the real audition, the one that surely showed us what we needed to see. The Prix Foy (G2) is not traditionally a perfect Arc prep and once again, on a simplistic interpretation, a 3l thumping of Very Good Name is not the stuff that dreams are made of. But it was the manner of Orfevre’s success that quickened the senses. He’d been off the course since March, and when a horse has been gone that long you never quite know what to expect. But Orfevre shouldered the others aside with all the effortless superiority of Orson Welles upstaging his fellow act-ors in the days before he got fat. There are people in the US who think the miler Wise Dan is the best racehorse in the world. Sticking with simplistic form

interpretation we might wonder how a 5l defeat of Trade Storm at Woodbine entitles him to that accolade, and ask how many horses there are in Europe who could and have done that on European courses? Well, to be fair, Wise Dan too did do it with enormous style. If he turned up at an Arc meeting, though obviously not in the Arc itself, we might find out more about him. Maybe he really is as good as the Americans and admirers of US racing think. But when the curtain goes up on the biggest stage there will surely be only one thespian worthy of universal acclaim. Always assuming he gets there in one physical and mental piece of course. This time, surely, Orfevre will end his country’s long history of near misses in the race it covets most? When the great Deep Impact was defeated in 2006, 7,000 visiting fans trudged down from the stands, many of them weeping. This time the standing ovations and the cries of “encore” will be for the best horse in training anywhere. This time the cheers rather than the tears, or the jeers, will be for Japan.

Orfevre threw away last year’s Arc. After September’s Prix Foy victory, he must have a great chance of avenging that defeat... if he behaves himself

Equine industry worth $3 billion to Kentucky Findings from the state’s equine survey highlights economic benefits

Entucky’s equine industry had a total economic impact of almost $3 billion and generated 40,665 jobs in 2012, according to the Phase II results from the 2012 Kentucky Equine Survey, the first such wide-ranging study of Kentucky’s equine industry since 1977 and the state’s first-ever detailed economic impact study. The tax contribution of the equine industry to Kentucky was approximately $134 million. The University of Kentucky College of Agriculture, Food, and Environment’s Ag Equine Programs and Kentucky Horse Council, in conjunction with the US Department of Agriculture National Agricultural Statistics Service, released the economic impact figures from the survey. The “total economic impact” is measured by the output effect and is an estimate of revenues earned by the sale of goods and services related to the equine industry and its interconnected industries, explained Jill Stowe, PhD, UK Ag Equine Programmes director and project lead. The study results also showed that the value-added effect, which is perhaps a more descriptive measure of economic impact because it accounts for costs of production, has an estimated economic impact of $1.4 billion. The value-added effect is a measure of profitability and new income paid to workers rather than simply revenue. “The estimates underscore the continued significance of the equine industry, and they show that each segment of the industry contributes in important ways to the economy as well as to the rich cultural fabric of Kentucky,” said Stowe. Phase I results, released in January, included an inventory of Kentucky’s equids – including including horses, ponies, donkeys, and mules – and evaluated equine operations’ sales, income, expenses, and assets. Key findings from that portion are shown in the table Phase II looked more specifically at each sector’s estimated impact; the researchers found that breeding had the highest employment

figure of 16,198, an output of $710 million and a value-added impact of $333 million. Racing had the highest output impact at $1.28 billion, with 6,251 in employment and $601 million in value-added impact. The competition figures included 2,708 in employment, an output of $635 million and $297 million in value-added impact. Recreation horses provided 594 jobs, $166 million in output and $78 million in value-added impact. “Other”, which accounts for operations such as therapeutic riding facilities and those where horses are used for work, had an employment figure of 14,914, a $194 million output and a $91 million value-added impact. Nancy Cox, MS, PhD, associate dean for research in the University of Kentucky’s College of Agriculture, Food and Environment and administrative leader for the university’s Ag Equine Programmes, said: “The most compelling aspect of this study is that our future policy discussions can be guided by solid numbers.” Anna Zinkhon, Kentucky Horse Council board president, said: “The data from this study will benefit the state in many ways. We have already made use of the results at two regional horsemen’s caucuses held in areas with identified concentrations of equine populations. We are looking forward to at least three additional regional horsemen’s caucuses based on this data in 2014.” As might be expected, there is a concentration of horses in the Bluegrass area of Central Kentucky, but there are also other areas of the state with significant concentrations of equine. According to the report, the top 10 counties in Kentucky with equine acres were Fayette (89,000), Bourbon (48,700), Woodford (44,200), Scott (26,600), Grant (22,000), Oldham (21,000), Grayson (18,900), Warren (18,700), Boone (16,500), and Carter (16,400). “The University of Kentucky has equine expertise in many scientific disciplines,” said Norman K. Luba, executive director of the North American Equine Ranching Information Council. “The economic survey is an example of expertise that transcends over, not only the science of horses, but the business of horses in the commonwealth. Documented and dependable economic data will provide critical information about the significant role the horse industry plays in the economic well-being of Kentucky’s economy.”

Kentucky survey key findings: Phase 1 Y Kentucky is home to 242,400 horses residing at 35,000 equine operations; Y 1.1 million acres in Kentucky are devoted to equine use; Y The total value of the state’s equine and equine-related assets is an estimated $23.4 billion; Y The total of all equine-related sales and income for equine operations in 2011 was about $1.1 billion; Y Total equine-related expenditures by equine operations in 2011 totalled about $1.2 billion; about 77 per cent of those operating expenses are spent in Kentucky.

the news

Al Kazeem to stand at the Royal Studs Al Kazeem, this year’s winner of the Group 1 Tattersalls Gold Cup, Prince of Wales’s Stakes and the Eclipse, is to stand at the Royal Studs in Sandringham at the end of his racing career. The five-year-old son of

Dubawi, who is trained by Roger Charlton, is being targeted at the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe. It is not known yet whether the race will be the last start for the horse. A winner at the ages of two, three, four and five Al Kazeem has won seven of his 14 starts and just under £1 million in prizemoney. He only raced once in 2012 due to a pelvic fracture. “The Queen is thrilled to have acquired such an important, high-class stallion for the Royal

Studs,” said John Warren, the Queen’s racing adviser. “Al Kazeem is an outstanding individual and being by Dubawi out of a Darshaan mare he should be an extremely appealing prospect to breeders.” Al Kazeem is the first stallion bought by the Royal Studs since Motivator was syndicated in 2005. Details of Al Kazeem’s ownership structure have yet to be finalised. “I’m thrilled that Al Kazeem

will be standing at the Royal Studs, which is the perfect home for such a magnificent horse,” said John Deer, who stands Avonbridge at his own Oakgrove Stud in Chepstow. “No doubt he’ll be a wonderful asset for breeders and I’m thrilled he’s been secured to stand in this country.” Deer bred Al Kazeem out of Kazeem, a daughter of Yorkshire Oaks runner-up Kanz from the family of Diamond Shoal and Glint Of Gold.

completely failed to do last year. It is a small village, north of Reims, and twinned with Kingsclere. They have no horses,(and we have no champagne!) but the two villages are of a similar size, have great churches and are in a solid rural setting. I brought back four different bottles and, at under £11, they are very good value. However, we may gain the edge if the Kingsclere village shop rumours are accurate and Beyoncé becomes a resident.... My only companion on the long journey was Andrew Marr’s History of the World, over 26 hours of audio book. It is good to see him back on Sunday breakfast TV, which is nicely followed by Sunday Brunch on Channel 4, programmes I both enjoy and like to be in to watch, as long as I have done my gym session on Saturday morning. Until the recent weather change, racing has been slightly weakened by small field sizes and modest cards. It was disappointing that two valuable black-type juvenile races, the Stonehenge Stakes at Salisbury and Solario Stakes at Sandown, only

mustered four runners each. Gordon Lord Byron was an emphatic winner of the Haydock Sprint on rain-softened ground and is another Group 1 winner to overcome a fractured pelvis. He may have his work cut out, though, to master Moonlight Cloud in the Prix de la Forêt. There has been quite a debate over the merits of racing on Good Friday. France experimented with racing on Christmas Day last year at Deauville; it will not be repeated this year.

left you last month just before my return journey from Gassin (there on gardening and horse business) expecting a quicker return journey than the one on the Route Napoleon. I was mistaken. Extremely heavy traffic on the route either side of Avignon meant the journey to Troyes took 12 hours, it should have done in just over five! I had intended to stay at Chaumont, which has a spectacular 19th century viaduct that took 2,500 men two years to build, working day and night. It also has the quaintly named “Tour d’Arse” in the old town and is close to General de Gaulle’s home village of Colombey-les-Deux-Eglises. But the hotel I had planned to stay in had no nearby parking and its only open restaurant was a pizzeria. I decided instead to press on to Troyes with its cobbled streets and found a very reasonable hotel in a 12th century house, close to the main restaurant area. An early start gave me a chance to locate Cormicy, something I had

They do race on Good Friday though, whereas Australia does not, and it was only in 2009 that betting shops were allowed to open on that day for Singapore and South African racing. Apart from the justified concerns of the stable open day organisers, many racing professionals are worried that the attractive carrots proffered by the racecourses, and bookmakers, for Good Friday racing might well diminish after the first couple of years. Still, as long as racecourses have plenty of fish on their menus, perhaps the Church will not protest too much! Jockey musical chairs has had a run recently. James Doyle has become first jockey for Prince Khalid Abdullah, a job last held by Richard Hughes, who rather perversely expressed sorrow for the retained riders at the various yards that train for the Prince. Perhaps he was forgetting the jockeys he replaced for seven years or, perhaps, he was a little irked at having to give way to Frankie Dettori and Jamie Spencer at Richard

Wind farm row in Kildare

Al Kazeem after winning the Prince of Wales’s Stakes, his second Group 1 win

Hannon’s on many of the Qatariowned horses. Hughes did achieve a milestone this year with his first-ever ride for Sir Mark Prescott at the jockey’s most successful meeting, Glorious Goodwood. As is his wont to non-stable jockeys, Sir Mark gave Hughes written instructions. Unfortunately, his mount Repeater finished last so it is unlikely Sir Mark’s stable jockey Luke Morris will lose too much sleep. Christophe Soumillon has returned as the Aga Khan’s retained jockey to replace Christophe Lemaire in France. Clearly the Aga has forgiven the incident at the jockeys’ awards when Lemaire was slightly disparaging about André Fabre’s height. Perhaps as a Belgian he was not aware of the power of the smaller Frenchmen such as Napoleon or Nicholas Sarkozy. It is slightly reminiscent of the story recounted by John Aubrey in Brief Lives of the Earl of Oxford. One one occasion he had bowed deeply to Queen Elizabeth I and broke wind. Overcome with shame he then spent seven years in selfimposed exile, travelling. When he returned to Court, the Queen greeted him saying: “My lord, I had forgotten the fart!” The Aga Khan is causing ripples

in Ireland with the appointment of a third trainer to join John Oxx and Michael Halford. It is slightly surprising he continues to boycott English trainers after Dalkala and Estimate have provided his breeding team with its best successes so far this year. At least he has not decided to sell-up completely like the enigmatic Paul Makin, who enjoyed a great victory with Chicquita in the Irish Oaks and made sales headlines with Hydrogen as a yearling. The other topic to grab the headlines has been the continuing saga of equine drug scandal. Details of the drugs confiscated from Moorley East Farm by DEFRA have been relased, but not of those destroyed at Stansted on May 3. There is no link between the endurance arm of Sheikh Mohammed and Darley/Godolphin. However, Mohammed Al Zarooni graduated from the endurance stable and was at one time an assistant to Mubarak bin Shafya. Shafya trained Gladiatorus and Eastern Anthem to a memorable Group 1 double on World Cup night in 2009. He is still training thoroughbreds in Dubai, but was suspended in 2011 by the FEI a horse he trained, tested positive for stanozolol at an event in Abu Dhabi in November 2010.

A row is breaking out in the Kildare region and the Irish midlands amid fears that Kildare’s thoroughbred horse industry may be under threat due to the construction of 2,000 wind turbines, part of a proposal for a large wind farm development The proposed project is under the management of Element Power and its Greenwire project. Electricty generated by the project would feed into the UK National Grid, so helping to meet the UK government’s commitment to renewal energy. It is believed that Greenwire could supply 3,000MW of electricity from Irish wind farms, enough to power three million homes. In January 2013, the UK and Irish Governments signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) on energy policy. A second company Mainstream Renewable Power is planning a 5,000MW “energy-bridge” network. The proposal has not been welcomed by many local residents, who have raised concerns regarding health impacts, possible negative effects on property prices and the environment. In September a pressure group calling itself South Kildare Against Spin was formed, and it has called on the Irish Minister for Health James Reilly to become involved. The group is seeking independent studies on the health implications for humans and animals, in particular horses, a second study on property prices, as well an independant costbenefit analysis. However, as long ago as last September the Irish Farmers Association agreed terms with Greenwire on behalf of its members and a number of farmers have already signed option agreements confirming their acceptance in principle of having a wind turbine or turbines erected on their land. Last month over 100 people attended an information meeting held by the Irish Thoroughbred Breeders Association (ITBA) at the Tullamore Court Hotel. ITBA member Jeff Mulhern said owners would pull their horses from a stud if they were being kept close to a turbine, while Professor Alun Evans from Queens University said there are no peer-reviewed studies on the affects on horses. However, he recommended the ITBA engage an acoustic engineer and a veterinary expert to look into the issues. “I think the ITBA should be concerned. I think they should be concerned about the health of their livestock,” he said. Chairman of the ITBA, Joe Osborne, manager of Kildangan Stud, said the ITBA would assess the information, take into account members’ views, and make a stance. “In the thoroughbred business, foreign investment is a big component of what we do. My boss is from Dubai and he came over to Kildare, he saw cattle, the trees and the landscape and he said this is where he wanted the business to operate,” he said. However, last October, Mike O’Neill, president of Element Power, described the scheme as “a win-win situation” . “This is surplus wind to Ireland’s requirements and this is a great export opportunity for Ireland,” he said. “It creates lots of jobs, lots of economic benefit and for the UK this provides 10 per cent of the 2020 renewable energy target.” On its website, Element Power reports that it is committed to working with the UK and Irish Governments to deliver Greenwire.

New Goffs sale to be held in conjunction with Irish Champions Weekend 2014 A SECOND new Goffs-run boutique sale is being planned, the Irish-based auctioneer announcing in September that it is planning to hold a horses-in-training sale in conjunction with Ireland’s new Champions Weekend due to be held at Leopardstown in September next year. The sale will comprise highly rated Flat horses with form and will take place just before racing on Saturday, September 13. The press release came a month after the company announced that it is planning a pre-Royal Ascot sale at Kempton racecourse on the eve of Royal Ascot week; the sale of horses–in-training and breeze-up juveniles

replacing the previous Kempton Breeze-Up. The Irish-based sale aims to give vendors access to visitors from around the world who will descend on Leopardstown for the new Champions Weekend, which is set to feature ten Group races on the Saturday and Sunday, with up to five Group 1 contests, including the Goffs-sponsored Vincent O’Brien National Stakes. Goffs chief executive Henry Beeby said: “The Goffs Champions Sale will be an integral part of the new Irish Champions Weekend and we intend to make a real splash at a time when almost every international bloodstock buyer will be in Ireland and at Leopardstown.

s expected the autumn sales’ merry-go-round started with positive gains in Europe and in the US. Although significant gains were posted in each sale there still needs to be a word of caution regarding the middle market and the market place for these yearlings. The top end yearlings look safe enough with a deep demand and a healthy return to be made on individuals. The middle sector still has some over-reserved stock and the occasional no bid for the ordinary individual, even for those with a fancy or “in vogue” stallion. Take care: make sure you know who is interested in your stock and the outcome of any vet reports prior to setting a reserve. Selling at Keeneland for the second year in succession brings home the realisation that the sheer size of the US brings in a multitude of wealthy buyers, who all compete happily with the dominate players in Europe and Middle East. Our draft of nine yearlings, seven in Book 1, was a great indication of the market place and the demand in general. With four yearlings on the first day the repository viewings hit 60 plus, which incuded vets who go through every set of X-rays on file selling the findings in bulk to their clients. It means that you never know who might be interested in your yearling. Quiet staggeringly we also had 45 vets scope the four yearlings, one yearling had 18 individual scopes, which were viewed by a few different individuals. The level of vettings, though, should not influence your own valuation of your horse. Despite the sale’s diverse demographic players, many were on

“The Goffs Punchestown Invitation Sale has become a market leader in just three years and the format of holding a small, but select, horses-in-training sale during a major Irish racing festival clearly works. “In recent years we have listened to feedback from Irish trainers as we look at ways to develop our Flat horses-in-training sale. “We believe that the Goffs Champions Sale is a huge step in the right direction as it allows trainers to showcase the best of Irish to an international audience on home soil. “As at Punchestown, this sale should also add even more sparkle to what looks set to be a truly spectacular weekend.”

yearlings with stallion pedigrees and War Front was the stallion most in demand in the first week. I still can’t fathom out Kitten’s Joy and his lower-than-expected sales average. It is probably accounted by the fact that a lot of his stock were slightly “workman-like” in appearance. Maybe it is a matter of closing your eyes and getting the prettiest neat mare with some talent and then racing the produce! I was told that Ramsey Farm’s Mark Partridge is responsible for many of the successful matings that the Ramseys have made over the beginning of the stallion’s career. There is a lot of press claiming that there is a lack of sires available in the US who produce progeny capable of running in Europe. I really do not feel that this is the case. The first-season sire Blame, whom I have mentioned before in this column, is by Arch and at least four yearlings from the sale will be racing in England. I will be following them closely. Other sires include Bernadini, Big Brown, City Zip, English Channel, Distorted Humor, Exchange Rate, First Defence, Giant’s Causeway, Hard Spun, Hat Trick, Henrythenavigator, Medaglia D’Oro, More Than Ready, Perfect Soul, Proud Citizen, Rock Hard Ten, Smart Strike, Speightstown, and Stormy Atlantic! They are all stallions who have had success in Europe despite limited runners. Many of these stallions stand under $100,000, which represents great value for the mare owner, while they can also provide some great outcrosses for our Northern Dancer-dominated broodmare bands. Keep rates are usually between $30-$40 a day and flights are £10,000 all-in each-way, with a bit of change, but anyone considering using some of these stallions for their mares should book early as demand is pretty high! On the down side if you decide to send a mare out to the US, it means, obviously, you are losing control of your mares for a length of time and the tendency for vets to be involved is high. There seems to be many mysterious veterinary situations occurring in the US, such as caterpillars fescue, grass abortions as well as seemingly lightning! However, with three major equine veterinary practices, there is always a vet on hand.

s a timely advertisement for auction houses ahead of the sales season, the past month on the track could have been scripted by the men with the gavel. Of the six Group 1 races staged in Britain and Ireland following the York Ebor meeting, five were taken by graduates of the Tattersalls, Doncaster or Goffs sales: the Matron Stakes (La Collina), the Sprint Cup (Gordon Lord Byron), the St Leger (Leading Light), the Irish St Leger (Voleuse Des Coeurs) and the National Stakes (Toormore). The exception was the Irish Champion Stakes won by The Fugue. In fact, the whole elite year in the two countries has been dominated by horses who went through a sale ring at one time or another in their lives, but then that is the modern thoroughbred. The Irish Champion Stakes, in which Al Kazeem and Trading Leather filled the places, was a rare home-bred Group 1 clean sweep. The only other of the 36 Group 1 contests from the 2,000 Guineas to the National Stakes in which the first three home were

racng entirely for their breeders were the King George VI & Queen Elizabeth Stakes (Novellist, Trading Leather and Hillstar) and the Nassau Stakes (Winsili, Thistle Bird, Hot Snap). Of those who went under the hammer, the price tags of the winners and placed horses have ranged from the St Leger hero Leading Light’s 520,000gns as a yearling to Haydock Sprint Cup winner Gordon Lord Byron’s €2,000 as a foal. Sometimes you get what you hope for, sometimes you get a great deal more. Leading Light may have brought some compensation to Team Ballydoyle for the narrow defeat of the stable’s Triple Crownseeking Camelot 12 months previously at Doncaster. But only some. For if a landmark victory in a £600,000 Classic can have a bitter sweet tang, then this one perhaps did for rider Joseph O’Brien. Did a fine, tactical ride on a talented, progressive colt to deliver a first St Leger help erase the memories of lost immortality? “A little,” he said. “I suppose.” The St Leger, first run in 1776, is not only the most venerable of the Classics, but also

the longest and toughest. Over an extended mile and three-quarters, with a run-in of a straight half-mile, there is no hiding place for those deficient in stamina and resolution. Leading Light, with a two-mile success at Royal Ascot already under his girth, started a well-backed 7-2 favourite in a field of 11 and was ridden with commensurate confidence by O’Brien. Sensing a slow pace, the young Irishman sent the white-blazed son of Montjeu through the field early to take station behind pacesetting Cap O’Rushes before allowing him to stride to the front a full 2f from home. The only serious pestering came from Galileo Rock, another at the sharp end for most of the way, but once fully urged by O’Brien, Leading Light asserted and strode powerfully clear through the final furlong to take the Ladbrokes-sponsored prize by a length and a quarter with his generous ears cheerfully pricked. Talent, bidding to become the 42nd filly to take a St Leger and the first since another Oaks heroine in User Friendly won in 1992, stayed on from off the pace to take second from Galileo Rock in the closing strides, but

Following Montjeu’s death, his progeny acquired limited edition status at last autumn’s yearling sales, with his best-ever average price of more than £260,000 she was no threat to the winner. The Derby runner-up Libertarian finished fourth. Leading Light, who had not run since winning the Queen’s Vase, gave his trainer his fourth St Leger after Milan (2001), Brian Boru (2003) and Scorpion eight years ago. It was only the eighth victory in 237 runnings for Ireland and, remarkably, seven of those have emerged from Ballydoyle. The first three – Ballymoss (1957), Nijinsky (1970) and Boucher (1972) – were courtesy of O’Brien senior’s predecessor at the County Tipperary base, the unrelated Vincent O’Brien, with Ragusa (1963), saddled by Paddy Prendergast, the odd man out. The last St Leger winner to take a sires’

championship, or indeed to have any serious influence in the Flat sphere, was Nijinsky and a St Leger victory is nowadays seen as a negative if it is the high point of a prospective stallion’s career. O’Brien senior was quick to point out that Leading Light had won twice over 1m2f in the spring, including at Group 3 level. “He’s a very solid, versatile horse,” he said. “He stays but he quickens and there’s plenty of class there.” Leading Light has proved himself a Group 1 performer against solid Classic yardsticks, and, after the St Leger, his fifth victory from six runs, he was introduced into the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe betting at 20-1.

The bookmakers fancy his chances better as a top-class staying prospect, though; they offer only 5-1 against his winning next year’s Ascot Gold Cup. He would have to be supplemented at a cost of €100,000 for the Paris showpiece and his stable does have other candidates, notably Ruler Of The World. The Derby hero bounced back from disappointment in the Irish equivalent to run a fine Arc trial in the Prix Niel. The St Leger was dominated by the Sadler’s Wells clan: the winner and third are by his sons Montjeu and Galileo, the second and fourth by his grandson New Approach. And though Montjeu has never won a sires’ title as a source of middle-distance Classic talent he outstrips all those who have done so since his first crop of three-year-olds took to the track in 2005. The four-times champion Galileo, for instance, has sired the winners of two Derbys (New Approach and Ruler Of The World) and one St Leger (Sixties Icon). Montjeu has four Derby heroes on his CV (Motivator, Authorized, Pour Moi and Camelot) and now

Montjeu, the best runner sired by the peerless 14-times champion, died of septicaemia at Coolmore Stud in March last year, aged just 16. He was a huge loss to not only the County Tipperary operation, but also to the broader bloodstock world but, with a small final crop born this year, there are still three seasons remaining for him to make a Classic impact. Following Montjeu’s death, his progeny acquired limited edition status at last autumn’s yearling sales, with his best-ever average price of more than £260,000, and no doubt will do so again this year. He has ten colts and seven fillies catalogued in Tattersalls Book 1, including a brother to the high-class international performer Joshua Tree as the very first lot. Leading Light was his top-priced yearling of 2011, while in 2010 it was Camelot, at 525,000gns. Last year’s top-priced Montjeu, and his most expensive auctioned colt to date at 725,000gns, is the as yet unraced Danjeu.

Leading Light races for the Coolmore partners Derrick Smith, John Magnier and Michael Tabor, who had an “interest” in him before he went under the hammer. He was offered from “Flash” Conroy’s Glenvale Stud in County Tipperary and was bred by Lynch-Bages, a bloodstock company involving Conroy and Pat Shanahan, who is

one of Magnier’s right-hand men. They acquired Leading Light’s dam Dance Parade six years ago as a 13-year-old for €92,000 at Goffs from the consignment from the Sangster family’s Swettenham Stud. At the time she had produced just a minor winner in the States and in eight coverings had aborted, slipped or failed to

uk and ire racing Morgan Cahalan was concerned. The horse, from the first crop of his speedy, well-bred sire Byron, had been acquired as a pinhooking project, but when he was sent back to the Goffs sale ring in County Kildare as a yearling, he was led out unsold at €5,000. The market reject was sent to County Tipperary trainer Tom Hogan, fractured his pelvis on his first run and had to have a year off, but he has proved well worth the wait. His next scheduled stop is Longchamp on Arc day, when he will try to win the Prix de la Forêt for the second time. The sprinters have been taking turns this year. Lethal Force has won two of the five Group 1s in the British calendar, the Diamond Jubilee Stakes and July Cup, beating Society Rock both times. Sole Power has won one and been placed in one; Shea Shea has been placed in two, as has Slade Power. Before seeing off Slade Power and Hoof It at Haydock, with Lethal Force undone by the soft ground back in ninth, Gordon Lord Byron’s efforts included third place to Society Rock and Lethal Force in a York Group 2, a fourth in the Diamond Jubilee and third to Moonlight Cloud and Lethal Force in the Prix Maurice de Gheest.

“

I’ve won bigger races but few that have meant more. I didn’t do too well with the horse early on and I could see the headlines: ‘Famous father retires, son inherits, does bad job!’ Byron, a son of sprint patriarch Green Desert and Cheveley Park Stakes heroine Gay Gallanta, was not up to Group 1 level himself, but was a smart second division performer over 6f and 7f. He started his second career under Sheikh Mohammed’s Darley banner before transferring to Woodlands in County Galway two years ago. None of his first auction offerings cost less than Gordon Lord Byron, who was bred by Roland Alder from the Intikhab mare Boa Estrela, an unraced halfsister to five winners. Gordon Lord Byron is his sire’s second top-level winner of the year

after US runner Byrama, who took a Grade 1 handicap at Hollywood Park in June. Back at the other end of the distance spectrum, the Doncaster Cup (G2) produced a rare and emotional double. As a back-to-back winner, Times Up became only the tenth horse to win more than one edition of the contest that has a history stretching back to 1766. The exceptional northern heroine Beeswing took four between 1837 and 1842 and Double Trigger three between 1995 and 1998. The other dual winners had been Touchstone (1835-36), Alice Hawthorne (1843-44), Vedette (185758), Velocity (1906-07), Agreement (195859), Le Moss (1979-80) and Millenary, who dead-heated with Kasthari in 2004 and won outright a year later. Twelve months previously, the Olden Times gelding had given trainer John Dunlop an appropriately named final prestige victory before his retirement. This time he was trained, still for Jane Stewart-Brown and Rosi Meacock, by Dunlop’s son Ed, and he bounced back to his best with his length and a quarter defeat of last year’s runner-up High Jinx. “I’ve won bigger races,” said Dunlop junior, “but few that have meant more.

As a daughter of Pivotal should, The Lark, the 15-8 favourite, appreciated the ease in the ground and hardly came off the bridle to account for the Galileo pair Phiz and Alta Lilea too well with the horse early on and I could see the headlines: ‘Famous father retires, son inherits, does bad job!’” This year’s Epsom Classics had been rather derided after both winners failed in the Irish equivalents, but the subsequent fine efforts of Talent at Doncaster and Ruler Of The World at Longchamp restored some respectability. And the Oaks third The Lark did her bit on Town Moor too, as easy winner of the Park Hill Stakes. The filly’s Listed-class dam Gull Wing had ended her career in disgrace by refusing to race in the 2008 edition of the Group 2 race over the St Leger course, so there was a degree of family honour retrieved by her first produce. As a daughter of Pivotal should, The Lark, the 15-8 favourite, appreciated the ease in the ground and hardly came off the bridle to account for the Galileo pair Phiz and Alta Lilea. Like Gull Wing and her better, but ultimately equally temperamental half-sister, the dual Oaks winner Sariska, The Lark is set to stay in training at four, though trainer Michael Bell did warn that, while she clearly owns the talent of her tribe bred by Lady Bamford, she also has some of their tendency to independent thinking. Of the colts to most

conspicuously advertise their Classic prospects in the past month, the exciting Ballydoyle inmate Australia, who routed highly-regarded Free Eagle at Leopardstown, and the Richard Hannon-trained Toormore, winner of the National Stakes (G1) at The Curragh, were both yearling purchases costing 525,000gns at Tattersalls (despite Australia’s near-perfect pedigree, by Galileo out of Ouija Board, he was only 20th on last year’s Book 1 leader board) and £36,000 at Doncaster. Be Ready, who made a better impression in taking a mile Listed contest at Doncaster than did his fellow Godolphin colourbearer Outstrip in winning the 7f Group 2 Champagne Stakes, required a longer-term view; he was perspicaciously recruited to Sheikh Mohammed’s team as a foal, for €43,000, before his sire

Outstrip, a Darley homebred, wll be stepping up in grade next time after winning the Champagne Stakes. He is by Exceed And Excel and out of the Grade 1-winning mare Asi Siempre (El Prado)

New Approach had had a runner. Homebred Outstrip, by Exceed And Excel, was narrowly beaten by Toormore at Goodwood and will, like Be Ready, step up to the top level next time, as will the blues’ other impressive juvenile winner at Doncaster, Ihtimal. The daughter of Shamardal earned her place against the best by giving Godolphin a fourth successive victory in the May Hill Stakes (G2), after White Moonstone, Lyric Of Light and Certify. She is not the most imposing physical specimen, but has a sharp change of gear and the right attitude, coupled with a persuasive middle-distance pedigree. Her dam Eastern Joy is a winning half-sister to Prix de Diane winner West Wind out of a winning half-sister to none other than Godolphin’s first Classic winner, the Oaks and Irish Derby heroine Balanchine. Touted as one of the best from Ballydoyle, Australia, the son of Ouija Board and Galileo, was another 2013 sales purchase: he cost 525,000gns at Tattersalls and was bought by Demi O’Byrne. All of the mare’s runners to date have run and won with Voodoo Prince (Kingmambo) being her highest earner to date. Australia is her first Group race performer and is the only one to have appeared at auction so far. Ouija Board had a colt foal by Dubawi this spring

Treve the Talented S

heikh Joaan al Thani has bought some very expensive horses since getting involved in thoroughbred racing, but his purchases have included three Group 1 winners, so far: Toronado, Olympic Glory and Treve. After her brilliant victory in the Prix Vermeille at

Treve (grey colours) upsides the pacemaking Wild Coco in the Prix Vermeille before going clear for a ready success Photo: aprh

The Motivator filly looked pretty awesome in the Prix Vermeille and has been a very shrewd purchase for Sheikh Joaan, writes Jocelyn de Moubray

Longchamp on September 15 it looks as if the filly is going to turn out to be the best of the trio. Treve is owned in partnership by Sheikh Joaan with her breeder the Haras du Quesnay and trained by Criquette Head. The daughter of Motivator has made only four starts to date, but she has yet to be even remotely

extended and in many ways has looked better with each successive run. On her only two-year-old start Treve took a little time to put her head down and run straight, but as soon as she did so she raced away from useful rivals to win by a length and a half over a mile. On her reappearance at three she faced only four rivals in a conditions

euro racing race over a mile, once again showing her lack of experience, whilst still strolling away from the others on the bridle. In the Diane she was asked to make a real effort at the top of the straight, but just one touch of the whip was enough to encourage her to race 4l clear of her rivals. There were no foreign-trained runners in the Chantilly Classic, which makes it a difficult race for outsiders to evaluate, however, the second Chicquita won the Irish Oaks on her next start, the third Silasol had won a Group 1 on her previous start, the fourth Tasaday won two Group races impressively during the Deauville August meeting. Even the sixth home in the race, Alterite, won a Grade 1 at Belmont on her next start. The Diane was a very good race, and Treve was far better than the others. The Prix Vermeille was a real test for Treve. For the first time she was stepping up to 1m4f and encountering soft ground and the opposition included Tasaday and Silasol again, Venus De Milo from Ireland, Penelopa from Germany, as well as the older horses Romantica and Wild Coco. Wild Coco turned out to be the best of the rest in the conditions by some way. KI Farm’s

“

Victory looked certain for Wild Coco, Lady Cecil and the Warren Place team until you looked behind and saw that Frankie Dettori was going easily on Treve daughter of Shirocco had made 985,000gns at the 2012 December sales mainly because her trainer Sir Henry Cecil was convinced she had the ability to win Group 1 races on soft ground. For two years in a row Wild Coco has been withdrawn from the Yorkshire Oaks at the last minute because of firm ground, but at Longchamp she finally had conditions in her favour, for the first time since she was a threeyear-old. There was no obvious pacemaker and Tom Queally allowed Wild Coco to make the running at an even, but far from extravagant, pace.

Venus De Milo took over for a moment in the false straight, but once the field reached the real straight itself, Queally asked his mare for her effort and on soft ground Wild Coco has a real turn of foot. Almost immediately the remainder of the field were in trouble and the big chestnut used her huge stride to go 3l or 4l clear. Victory looked certain for Wild Coco, Lady Cecil and the Warren Place team until you looked behind and saw that Frankie Dettori was going easily on Treve, but had nowhere to go. Dettori had to ask Treve to extend just to get a clear passage on the rails, and then once he was out, he asked her again and she produced a burst of speed which carried the pair well clear of the remainder and enabled her to catch Wild Coco and go past for a length and three-quarters win. Wild Coco may have thought she had the race and lost concentration for a moment, but this was nevertheless a stunning display of speed and stamina from Treve. In a slowly run race it is an advantage to be in front as Wild Coco was, but the real advantage goes to the horse with the best turn of foot, and that horse was Treve. Treve was not sold as a yearling for only €22,000 and has made sure that, in future, her sire will be taken seriously by breeders from all over Europe. She comes from the fourth crop of Motivator and is the second Group 1-winning filly the son of Montjeu has sired following Ridasiyna. He covered over 130 mares in his first season at Le Quesnay in 2013. Treve’s fourth dam Trillion finished second to Alleged in the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe and her daughter Triptych was third to Dancing Brave and Bering in one of the best Arc’s of all time. It may take a colt of similar ability to stop Treve from winning her family’s first Arc.

he Niarchos family’s Maxios is a son of Europe’s top sire Monsun and is a half-brother to the Arc winner Bago, so it is hardly surprising that it has taken a long time for his connections to realise that he is a fast horse – at his very best on soft ground, like most of Monsun’s progeny – but over a mile and not a 1m4f. An unbeaten Group winner at two, Maxios lost his way completely at three. At four he showed quickly that 1m4f is beyond him and put up some good performances, particularly

www.internationalthoroughbred.net

euro racing when beating Reliable Man, over 1m2f. At five he has an almost perfect record, winning the Prix d’Harcourt and the Group 1 Prix d’Ispahan on soft ground in the spring and finishing second to Pastorius in the 1m2f100yds Prix Ganay. After failing to show his best on firm ground at Ascot, he spread-eagled a high class field in the Group 1 Prix de Moulin de Longchamp. Maxios was given an easy lead as only he and Stephane Pasquier chose to go with the pacemaker. At the entrance to the straight Maxios was already well clear and Pasquier never had to ask for a real effort allowing his mount to coast home for a 5l victory over Olympic Glory and Anodin. Maxios’s future engagements include the Arc, the Champion Stakes and the Queen Elizabeth II Stakes; on this showing Maxios is a top-class miler and has taken after his female family rather than his sire. His dam is an unraced daughter of Nureyev and Coup De Genie, a brilliant two-year-old at her best over 7f but an outstanding mare having produced two champions from her first eight foals. The Arc trials are “trials” and as such are never straightforward to read. Plenty of the winners of the Prix Niel have gone on to win the Arc, but then so have some of those who didn’t win, including Bago and Peintre Celebre. The Japanese Derby winner Kizuna showed a great turn of foot to come from

“

On this showing Maxios is a top-class miler and has taken after his female family rather than his sire behind and take the lead in the Niel, only to tread water as the Epsom Derby winner Ruler Of The World got going late on and failed by only a short head to get in front. The thirdplaced Flintshire is the only middle-distance three-year-old to have looked special this year, however, either the soft ground or a lack of condition made him much less impressive in the Niel than he had been in his earlier triumphs in the Prix du Lys and the Grand Prix de Paris. The Prix du Jockey-Club winner Intello ran his trial in the Prix du Prince d’Orange a week after the Vermeille weekend and, although he never looked like getting beaten, he didn’t look like a champion either quickening past Morandi for a three-quarters of a length win. The other French-trained three-year-old with a real chance in the Arc is Horst Rapp’s Tres Blue, a son of Anabaa Blue who won two Group races in Deauville after narrowly

failing to win the German Derby. In the Grand Prix de Deauville he came from behind to beat Penglai Pavilion, Slow Pace, Very Nice Name and Cirrus Des Aigles. Slow Pace is being saved for the Arc sale, but the other three have underlined this performance since. Penglai Pavilion is another top class three-year-old by Monsun who won a Listed impressively since, Cirrus Des Aigles returned to winning form on his next start at Maisons Laffitte and Very Nice Name was runner-up to Orfevre in the Prix Foy. The Japanese Derby winner Orfevre did everything right in the Foy, settling well and running straight when asked to go for a comfortable 3l win, however on a line through Very Nice Name, Tres Blue has almost as good a chance of winning the big race. Germany’s champion Novellist had his moment in front of a home crowd at BadenBaden for the Grosser Preis, but it was very much a trial rather than a true Group 1 test. A small field and no early pace meant that Christophe Berglar’s son of Monsun was only able to do enough for a comfortable, if narrow, victory over Seismos and Meandre. Novellist remains one of the most likely winners of Longchamp’s big race where he is likely to get the soft ground and strong pace he needs to be at his best.

Hurricane Run has a talented bunch of juveniles despite fertility issues

he current two best two-year-old colts in France made their debut in the same race over 7f at Compiegne on July 1. The Niarchos family’s Karakontie came from a long way behind to beat Gerard Augustin Normand’s Ectot impressively, but the runner-up very much looked in need of experience and has probably made more progress since. Both colts looked top class on their latest starts. Karakontie, who is by Bernstein and out of a grand-daughter of Miesque, was narrowly beaten by the Richard Hannon-trained Bunker in the Listed 7f Prix de François Boutin at Deauville and then came from behind again to beat Decathlete in the Group 3 Prix de la Rochette over 7f at Longchamp in September. Ectot, who is a Hurricane Run half-brother to the Group 1 winner Most Improved, won his maiden over 7f at Clairefontaine, then stepped up to a mile to win a valuable Listed race in Deauville, but looked better still at Longchamp in September when he won the Group 3 Prix des Chenes by 3l, without coming off the bridle. Hurricane Run stands at his breeder’s stud Gestüt Ammerland,

www.internationalthoroughbred.net

near Munich in Germany. Ectot, Bunker, Ballybacka Queen and Windshear all come from his fourth crop, which was conceived in 2010 when he began to have fertility problems at Coolmore. Hurricane Run returned to Germany when these problems became critical, however, in 2013 he successfully covered a restricted book made up principally of his owner’s own mares. No French-trained two-year-old filly has impressed to quite the same degree as Ectot, but the best of them looks to be Jean Louis Tepper’s Lesstalk In Paris, a daughter of Cape Cross who, like Ectot, is out of a Linamix mare. The Jean Claude Rouget-trained filly certainly has speed and a turn of foot as she came from well off the pace to catch the André Fabre-trained Straight Thinking and win the Group 3 Prix d’Aumale at Chantilly in September. Fabre probably has a better prospect in the Wildenstein-owned Miss France who, after disappointing on her debut over 6f in Deauville, won a maiden at Chantilly over a mile with plenty in hand. Miss France is a daughter of Dansili and the Prix Marcel Boussac winner Miss Tahiti.

NYBODY who took a chance on War Front at $15,000 in 2011, the year his first crop turned three, were in line to land a major home run at the Keeneland September Sale. Not only has War Front, who didn’t win above Grade 2 level for Joseph Allen himself, developed into a premier sire in his native US, where he is the sire of three Grade 1 winners, but he has also become a force in Europe, primarily through the Ballydoyle inmates Declaration Of War and War Command. It is success that has been achieved from crops no greater than 90 and with his base Claiborne Farm regularly adopting a restricted book policy, his progeny will surely become even more prized commodities. Even by his own high standards, War Front entered the Keeneland September Sale on

Nancy Sexton reports from Keeneland September, a sale that had plenty of good old-fashioned “vibe”

top lot, the sale’s leading buyer Shadwell Estates spent a total of $2.375 million on four War Fronts, while John Ferguson and David Redvers picked up yearlings for $475,000 and $300,000. The $2.5 million sale-topper was a massive touch for Peter O’Callaghan’s Woods Edge Farm, who had paid $180,000 for the colt at Keeneland last November under the banner Brittlyn Stables. He is the first foal out of the stakes-placed Blading Gold Ring, one of only five stakes runners by War Front’s former stud-mate During, a half-sister to a talented War Front

runner in the Grade 1-placed Emerald Gold. Even more of a bargain was Guide, the dam of Coolmore’s $1 million War Front buy. The daughter of Pulpit was sold by Claiborne Farm for just $7,000 to Korean interests at last year’s Keeneland November Sale. Since then her half-brother Departing has snared two Grade 2s. However, it wasn’t all about War Front. Gainesway’s Tapit, another stallion to rise from a lowly fee, was represented by four million dollar yearlings led by a half-brother to recent Grade 1 Test Stakes heroine Sweet Lulu, who sold for $1.55 million to

the crest of a wave. Aside from the European exploits of Declaration Of War and War Command, the preceding six weeks had seen the son of Danzig supply the winners of the Grade 2 Super Derby (Departing), Grade 2 With Anticipation Stakes (Bashart) and Grade 3 Cliff Hanger Handicap (Summer Front). Unsurprisingly, that rich vein of form translated into commercial success. Led by two seven-figure colts, including the $2.5 million sale-topper, War Front ended Keeneland’s reformatted Book 1 with an average of $475,370 for 27 yearlings sold. Coolmore showed their support for the stallion in no uncertain terms, walking away with the sale-topper as well as colts who sold for $1 million, $650,000 and $450,000. And they weren’t alone in targeting his progeny. Apart from being the underbidder on the

us racing the partnership of Nat Rea’s Regis Farms and Stonestreet Stables. Also prominent was Galileo, the sire of a half-brother to Mastercraftsman, who will join Coolmore after selling for $1.4 million. Strong participation both domestically and internationally aligned with a reformatted first week of selling – scrapped was the former boutique Book 1 in favour of a four-day opening book comprising 875 yearlings – contributed to a competitive Book 1 trade from start to finish. The first four days saw 546 yearlings realise a total of $153,385,000. Compared to Books 1 and 2 during the 2012 edition, the average rose 38.5 per cent to $280,925, while the median increased 38 per cent to $207,500. There were 18 million dollar yearlings compared to seven in 2012. “Our goal was to get as many buyers on the grounds as we could to sort through them,” said Keeneland’s director of sales Geoffrey Russell, alluding to the success of the new sales format. “We accomplished that and saw top-quality horses every day, a lot of spirited bidding, and a wide range of buyers staying from Monday through Thursday.” One of the hottest sale updates belonged to an Indian Charlie filly out of multiple Grade 1

winner and producer Take Charge Lady. Just weeks before the sale, her half-brother, the D Wayne Lukas-trained Will Take Charge, got up in the dying strides to deny Moreno in the Travers Stakes (G1) at Saratoga. As a result, it was no surprise to see his yearling half-sister, from the final crop of Indian Charlie, end the sale as the dearest filly, selling for $2.2 million to Mandy Pope’s Whisper Hill Farm. She was one of four million dollar yearlings sold by Hill ‘n’ Dale Farm, whose high-flying

quartet also included a Medaglia D’Oro half-brother to Kentucky Derby winner Super Saver, who sold for $1.7 million to Spendthrift Farm and Stonestreet Stables. Despite the supposed suspicion in Europe surrounding the US thoroughbred, European buyers were active at all spectrums. At the top, Hugo Merry struck at $1 million for a Malibu Moon daughter of Grade 1 winner Hollywood Story. She was purchased for Andrew Rosen and will join Brian Meehan.

Bernardini gets first stakes winner of 2013, Wise Dan breaks track record At Saratoga, Godolphin’s Alpha, last year’s Travers Stakes dead-heater, once again demonstrated his liking for the track when prevailing by a head over Flat Out in the meeting’s day finale, the Woodward Stakes. Racing in first time blinkers, Alpha wired the field to become Bernardini’s first graded stakes winner of the year. Several days earlier, Saratoga racegoers had also been treated to an imperious performance by Royal Delta. Besilu Stable’s mare coasted home by four-and-a-half lengths to win the Personal Ensign Handicap, her sixth Grade 1, to set her up for a crack at the Beldame Handicap en route to a possible third appearance in the Breeders’ Cup Distaff, a race she has dominated in the past two years. Retirement likely beckons at the end of the year for the daughter of Empire Maker, with connections not ruling out a visit to an European stallion in her first year at stud, according to Besilu Stables’ racing manager Fabricio Buffalo. Wise Dan (Wiseman’s Ferry) has continued to dominate the turf division with his unextended success in the Woodbine Mile (G1), setting a track record and receiving an ovation when returning to the winners’ enclosure. It was a ninth consecutive success for the colt, who may take in the Shadwell Mile (G1) in October as he did last year ahead of the Breeders’ Cup. The Fittocks Stud-bred Forte Dei Marmi won his first Grade 1 event, the Northern Dancer Turf Stakes (1m4f). The consistent

www.internationalthoroughbred.net

Selkirk colt was making it a hat-trick in graded events at Woodbine this season, following on from placed Grade 1 efforts at the course last year. His prize-money earnings have now reached £622,431, not a bad return for a seven-year-old gelding. His Sadler’s Wells mare Frangy was sold by Fittocks Stud last year for 80,000gns to Stephen Hillen Bloodstock in-foal to Acclamation. She has since produced a colt foal and visited Harbour Watch this year and is owned in a partnership between Hillen, David Redvers and Ecurie Des Monceaux. The Grade 2 on the Woodbine card was also taken by a European stallion, Footstepsinthesand’s Minakshi winning the Canadian Stakes for fillies and mare and run over 1m1f. She was bred by Elevage Haras De Bourgeauville and is a halfsister to the hurdle and chase winner Marble Garden, Maya De La Luz, who has won over 7f and 1m1f in Singapore and France, while her dam was a Listed-placed winner in France, a winner in the US and is from the family of Alzao. Previously trained in France by Pascal Bary, the five-year-old mare won conditions races on the Fibresand and the turf in France. Since transferring to Canada she has found graded race form, and has since not finished worse than fourth in three previous graded race efforts. The Canadian Stakes is a “Win & You’re In” for the Breeders’ Cup Filly & Mare Turf.

HAPPY I

n 2005, Kenneth and Sarah Ramsey faced something of a dilemma. That dilemma – an enviable one by almost any standards – was caused by their ownership of Roses In May, who had won that year’s Dubai World Cup (G1), and by Kitten’s Joy, the previous year’s champion US turf horse. The Ramseys, who are primarily owner breeders, wanted to retain one horse to stand at their Ramsey Farm, the question being though which should it be as, truth be told, neither was a slam-dunk commercial prospect. Roses In May had won five straight the previous year, including the Kentucky Cup Classic Handicap (G2) and the Whitney

Handicap (G1), before he finished second to the mighty Ghostzapper in the Breeders’ Cup Classic (G1). On the debit side of the ledger, however, he was by Devil His Due, an admirably tough, sound racehorse and solid stallion, but not a horse who would be regarded as “sire of sires” material. There were a couple of other graded stakes winners under Roses In May’s first dam, but, two good Japanese runners apart, there was nothing of note to be found under the second and third dams. Kitten’s Joy had far more going for him as far as his sire line was concerned. He is by Sadler’s Wells’s champion Irish two-year-old, El Prado, who had already made his name as a leading sire of 2002.

pedigree profile As it turns out El Prado already had another outstanding stallion son in Medaglia D’Oro, although his first crop were only foaled the year that Kitten’s Joy retired to stud, while a third, Kitten’s Joy’s contemporary Artie Schiller, is also a Grade 1 sire. Kitten’s Joy’s distaff side was also considerably stronger than Roses In May. His dam Kitten’s First is also dam of Precious Kitten, a multiple Grade 1 winner by another Ramsey stallion Catienus, while although Kitten’s First’s daughter Justenuffheart won a pair of stakes races, she is more notable as the dam of champion two-year-old filly Dreaming Of Anna, and graded scorers Lewis Michael and Justenuffhumor. Kitten’s First is a half-sister to Down The Aisle, winner of the United Nations Handicap (G1), and her dam, That’s My Hon, is a half-sister to the Mother Goose Stakes (G1) star Road Princesss. If we go back another generation we come to Spectacular Bid – champion at two and three, and Horse of the Year at four – whose grand-dam was a halfsister to the grand-dam of Kitten’s First.

Consistent Kitten

As a racehorse, Kitten’s Joy was a consistent high level performer. Winner of a Belmont Park maiden and a Churchill Downs allowance at two, Kitten’s Joy developed into the nation’s dominant turf performer at three. He suffered defeat in only two of his eight starts that year, missing by a head to Prince Arch in the Jefferson Cup (G3) and, at the end of a season that had started out on January 1, taking second to another champion, Better Talk Now, in the John Deere Breeders’ Cup Turf (G1). All six of his wins at three came in graded contests: the Tropical Park Derby (G3), the Palm Beach Stakes (G3), the Crown Royal American Turf Stakes (G3), the Virginia Derby (G3), the Secretariat Stakes (G1) and the Joe Hirsch Turf Classic Invitational Stakes (G1). After his busy sophomore season Kitten’s Joy didn’t reappear until the following summer when he kicked off with a win in the Firecracker Breeders’ Cup Handicap (G2). His only other outing saw him end his career with a second to Powerscourt, whom he’d beaten in the previous year’s Breeders’ Cup Turf, in the Arlington Million Stakes (G1). But, for all his merits on of pedigree and performance, that fact remained that Kitten’s Joy was best suited by distances over 1m2f

to 1m4f on the turf, which diminished his sire prospects in a country where speed and ability on Dirt are premier attributes.

A kitty to support Kitten

The Ramseys’ predicament was solved by the sale of Roses In May to Japan where the fact that he was a great-grandson of Halo, the sire of Sunday Silence, added to his allure. That sale left them with a “kitty” which they could use to commit to supporting Kitten’s Joy, and commit they did. By their own estimation at some time or other they bred nearly 90 per cent of a broodmare band that at one stage numbered nearly 200, and initially they raced almost all of his offspring. The project took a near fatal stumble out of the gate when an attack of strangles struck Ramsey Farm at the time that Kitten’s Joy’s first crop were foals. The resultant setback to their development resulted in many of Kitten’s Joy’s initial babies being stunted and lacking in strength. The negative impact is obvious if one looks back at the 2008 yearling sales: 44 of Kitten’s Joy’s first crop were offered, with just 24 finding buyers, and 13 of those sold making $7,000 or less (12 of the RNA’s were knocked back at $7,000 or less). Whether the Ramseys’ faith in Kitten’s Joy and their considerable financial investment would be rewarded remained open to doubt after Kitten’s Joy finished fifth in a less than memorable group – behind Offlee Wild, Roman Ruler, Pollard’s Vision and Wildcat Heir – on the 2009 freshman sires’ table, with a worsening performance when dropping to seventh on the second-crop sire list the following year. Fortunately, events then took a marked upwards turn and the picture looked very different 12 months later – Kitten’s Joy shot to the top of the third-season sires’ rankings after a year in which he was represented by 15 individual stakes winners. Last year, Kitten’s Joy was among the top 20 US sires by earnings, and on August 17, 2013 the momentum reached a new peak – Kitten’s Joy shot to the top of the sires’ table after a trio of his offspring won Saturday Grade 1 events: Blue Blue Kitten taking the Sword Dancer Invitation Stakes (G1), Admiral Kitten won the Secretariat Stakes (G1), and Real Solution the Arlington Million Stakes (G1). In the process they also made the Ramseys – who bred all three – the first to own the winners of three Grade 1 races on the same day. Although there is no doubt that the Ramseys deserve considerable credit for

pedigree profile the success of Kitten’s Joy, the idea that anyone can “make” a stallion is really something of myth. After all, there any number of extremely talented runners who have attracted large books of well-bred and performed mares and failed completely. At the moment, we really can’t say with any degree of certainty whether a high-class runner is likely to pass on his ability, so all we can do ensure that have the opportunity to do so. Kitten’s Joy’s success is also a blow against the notion that a staying turf horse can’t succeed in the US in the prevailing climate.

Support, but low key

Although they were tireless in efforts to support their stallion, the Ramseys certainly weren’t able to furnish Kitten’s Joy with mares at the level of those that would have been to bred to the elite of the stallion population and the dams of last month’s Grade 1-winning underline the point. Reachfortheheavens, the dam of Real Solution, sold for only $4,500 as a twoyear-old and later that year was haltered for $25,000 from her last start, a maiden claimer at Woodbine, a race which provided her only win in four starts. She is a daughter of Pulpit, but has no black-type in her second dam. Her third dam Northern Dancer’s daughter Northabout produced just one black-type placed horse from seven starters, although she is grand-dam of the graded winner

“

The Ramseys certainly weren’t able to furnish Kitten’s Joy with mares at the level of those that would have been to bred to the elite of the stallion population Lattice, and third dam of Sign, a Pulpit filly who won last year’s Pocahontas Stakes (G2). Real Solution’s fourth dam Alluvial did produce Belmont Stakes (G1) victor Coastal and the seven-time Grade 1 winner Slew O’Gold, and is grand-dam of Kentucky Derby (G1) runner-up Aptitude, and Hollywood Oaks (G1) victress Sleep Easy (it’s probably worth noting that Slew O’Gold and Sleep Easy are by Pulpit’s grandsire Seattle Slew and Aptitude by Pulpit’s sire, A.P. Indy). Big Blue Kitten is out of Spent Gold, a daughter of Unaccounted For who ran just three times, her best effort being a third in a maiden claimer at Belmont Park on her first start as a two-year-old.

She was claimed for $50,000 by the Ramseys two outings later when finishing fourth in a maiden claimer at Saratoga. This was back in 2009, so she wasn’t acquired with Kitten’s Joy specifically in mind. Spent Gold is a half-sister to the minor stakes winner Clever Tish, while her granddam Mystical Mood won the Schuylerville Stakes (G3), finished second in the Frizette Stakes (G1) and third in the Matron Stakes (G1). Mystical Mood subsequently produced Fair Judgement, a group/graded stakes winner in Europe and the US, and she is ancestress of several other stakes winners, most notably champion two-year-old colt Stevie Wonderboy. Admiral Kitten’s dam, the Grand Slam mare Reachinforthestars, was claimed by the Ramseys when winning a $50,000 maiden claimer at Calder as a two-year-old. She subsequently won a claimer at Gulfstream Park, entered off a $62,500 tag. She is another without black-type in the dam, however her second dam Mombasa was by Dynaformer out of John Nerud’s good matron Mesabi, also the dam of graded winning and Grade 1-placed Funistrada and stakes winner Wakonda. She is grand-dam of last year’s Natalma Stakes (G2) and Mazarine Stakes (G3) victress Spring Venture.

pedigree profile common threads in their pedigrees. Real Solution is one of three stakes winners bred on the El Prado/Pulpit cross, and it’s no surprise to see El Prado work with A.P. Indy, given that El Prado’s dam is a Classic winner bred on a Sir Gaylord/Tom Fool cross, where

A.P. Indy’s second dam is a Tom Fool/Sir Gaylord cross. Real Solution’s second dam is by Dynaformer (by Roberto, also sire of Kitten’s Joy’s broodmare sire, Lear Fan), and his third dam is by Northern Dancer out of a

Buckpasser mare, the reverse cross to that which produced L’Enjoleur, the sire of the second dam of Kitten’s Joy. Big Blue Kitten is one of two stakes winners bred on an El Prado/Private Account cross, and it’s worth remembering that El Prado

pedigree profile also sired Medaglia D’Oro out of a mare from the male-line of Private Account’s sire, Damascus. The second dam is a Buckpasser/Roberto cross, a reverse to the dam of Kitten’s Joy, and the pedigree also has a second cross of Buckpasser, and again gives linebreeding to Northern Dancer. Admiral Kitten follows Grade 2 winner Kitten’s Dumplings as the second stakes winner by Kitten’s Joy out of a Grand Slam mare, and is one of eight stakes winners for the sire out of Mr. Prospector line mare (six of these by stallions that carrying Buckpasser). Grand Slam’s broodmare sire El Gran Senor is another reverse cross to L’Enjoleur. Like Real Solution, Admiral Kitten has a second dam by Dynaformer, and so is again doubled to Roberto. If, by now the impression is being gained that the duplication of Roberto has been a prime consideration for the Ramseys, it can be confirmed by the presence of that horse

in the pedigree of at least seven of his other stakes winners, including his only other Grade 1 winner Stephanie’s Kitten. Given that he appears in 10 of 38 stakes winners (26 per cent) for the sire, we’d suggest that duplicating Roberto was an intentional move by the Ramseys, and it looks as if it is one that has been fundamental to the success of Kitten’s Joy. There are also some other distinct noticeable trends among Kitten’s Joy’s offspring. The Grade 1 winner Stephanie’s Kitten (out of a mare by the Ramsey stallion Catienus) is just one of six stakes winners for the sire out of mares by Storm Cat line stallions, Giant’s Causeway and Tale Of The Cat among them. He has a trio of stakes winners out of mares by the Gone West stallion Grand Slam (two with second dams by Sadler’s Wells, so 3 x 3 to that horse), and seven from other branches of Mr. Prospector, including from mares by the frequent Sadler’s Wells foil Kingmambo, his son Lemon Drop Kid and by Woodman.

He has also enjoyed success over Halo through Saint Ballado and More Than Ready, and there are also three stakes winners out of Danzig line mares, and two out of daughters of Cozzene. Kitten’s Joy now has 38 stakes winners from his first four crops (as well as a current two-year-old stakes winner from his fifth crop), 14 of them graded and four Grade 1. He covered 191 mares this season year at a fee of $50,000, which included some major breeders, with his top-priced yearling of 2013 fetching $350,000 and bought by Shadwell Stud. And what of Roses In May, the horse whose sale financed Kitten’s Joy opportunity? Well, he had to wait until last year for his first stakes winners, the then three-year-old Cosmo Ozora, and the five-year-old Dream Valentino, who both captured Japanese graded stakes, but who remain the sole blacktype scorers for their sire.

Northern Meteor: early death such a loss to Australian bloodstock Events continue to show that the early death of Northern Meteor (Encosta De Lago) from the effects of a colic attack was a very serious loss to the Australian breeding industry. After his death he came leading freshman sire, and recently added a second freshman crop Grade 1 winner when his son Zoustar took the Golden Rose Stakes. This was his second new graded winner of the 2013-2014 season, and both out of Danzig line mares. Myboycharlie is a second-season sire in Australia and a first-season sire in Europe, and he recently had a first stakes winner in each continent. In Australia, Charlie Boy took the Danehill Stakes (G2), while in FranceSalai won the Criterium de l’Ouest. Myboycharlie always looked likely to work with Sadler’s Wells/Fairy King/Nureyev: Charlie Boy is out of a mare by Fairy King’s son Falbrav (his third dam is also a sister to Myboycharlie’s broodmare sire, Rousillon) and Salai is out of a mare by Sahm, who is by Mr. Prospector out of Sadler’s Wells’ s excellent daughter Salsabil. There was a German-sired graded stakes double in Australia on September 14: Fiorente (Monsun) won the Data’ Tan Chin Nam Stakes (G2) and Prince Cheri (Lando) taking the Kingston Town Stakes (G3). Exceed and Excel really, really likes Gone West and his brother Lion Cavern – the Ian McEwen Stakes (G2) winner Kuroshio is one of six stakes winners for the sire with one of that pair in the dam side. In England, his love affair with Sadler’s Wells continued when Outstrip (dam by El Prado) won the Champagne Stakes (G2).

Exceed And Excel also seems to be one of those sprinters who can combine well with stouter mares. Unbridled’s Song has been looking for an heir. Now, in addition to First Defence, who is a Grade 1 sire from his first crop this year, he also has freshman Dunkirk. He has some promising types on the ground, including the Sapling Stakes (G3) winner Dunkin Bend. Street Cry had three young sons all sire graded winners in the space of just over a week. Street Hero was represented by the Del Mar Derby (G2) winner Gabriel Charles; third-season sire Street Sense, who will return to the US from Japan for 2014, got the runaway Spinaway Stakes (G1) heroine Sweet Reason, while Street Boss, whose first crop are three-year-olds, was represented by Capo Bastone, last year’s Breeders’ Cup Juvenile (G1) winner. He took the King’s Bishop Stakes (G1). Dansili, who is in devastating form this year has had Group/Grade 1 winners on three continents – Dank won the Beverly D Stakes (G1) in the US, The Fugue has won her two Group 1 races in England and Ireland (G1) and Foreteller won the Makybe Diva Stakes (G1) in Australia. Astaire, who became the first stakes winner from the first crop of Intense Focus when successful in the Gimcrack Stakes (G2), has an intriguing pedigree. The dam of Intense Focus is by Danehill out of a Kahyasi mare, and identical to the dam that produced Dansili, who just happens to be the broodmare sire of Astaire. We’re just starting to see duplications of Kahyasi’s sire Ile De Bourbon, as he also appears in Flintshire and his brother Dance Moves (both by Dansili) as well as in Rail Links’s son Destruct.

the skiffington crew

AFTER a group of friends got together one August at Deauville they ended up buying the Group 1 winners Toronado in France and Havana Gold at Tattersalls with bloodstock agent Amanda Skiffington. But, as Julian Smyth finds out, some tough decisions have had to be faced along the way Photography by Trevor Jones

UST as the lives of the Three Musketeers were improved immeasurably by the advent of a fourth, so the lives of four racing professionals and enthusiasts have been enriched and enhanced by a fifth “companion”. Once there was the dashing D’Artagnan, now there is the top-class Toronado, and although the tale may not endure as long as Dumas’s epic it’s a story that will never stale as far as our four

friends are concerned. Where does the story begin? There’s a strong case for considering that it started four years ago in a French hotel, but the seeds had been sown many years before that. Perhaps it began in 1982 when bloodstock agent Amanda Skiffington – now Amanda Brudenell, but using the well-known Skiffington name for professional reasons – embarked on a long and successful career of buying yearlings.

Her roll of honour includes star names such as triple Group 1 winner Grandera, crack miler Second Set And Rave, whose name will have many scratching their heads until it’s explained that he became the champion racehorse in Hong Kong last year under the name of Military Attack. The results speak for themselves yet Skiffington is unusually underemployed by potential owners, with her annual purchases numbering no more than 20. “I’m not fashionable, I suppose, but I’m

www.internationalthoroughbred.net

buggered if I know why!” she says, laughter never far from the surface. “I buy the right ones – I’d go out of business if I didn’t buy the right ones. “I put in the hard work, as a woman I probably have to work that little bit harder, and I look at as many yearlings as anyone else out there. Maybe it can be an advantage in some ways, because it means I really have to love the ones I buy, and it means that there’s always scope to take on new customers.” And to work with old customers. Enter Jersey-based Roger Simmons, an owner for 25 years and well represented by the likes of Mister Links and Lady Links under the flag of the Coriolan Partnerships. He owns horses “as long as Amanda buys them”, and provides

www.internationalthoroughbred.net

the essential link between Skiffington, trainer Richard Hannon and the two other main characters in the story. Perhaps we can drop in at that French hotel now. “I’m a builder by trade and I was doing some work for a chap called Chris Humber in Guernsey,” says Simmons. “His daughter was an event rider and he was interested in horses, but didn’t know how to get started. So I invited him to the sales at Deauville, and we stayed in the Normandy.” So far, so straightforward. Yet this is where the web of coincidence falls around us. In another room at the Normandy, fresh off the flight from Jersey, sat Fiona Carmichael, thinking about Hermes and Ralph Lauren rather than Dansili and Kheleyf.

“Years earlier I’d been on a riding holiday with a friend who had racehorses, and I asked my husband about getting involved but he said no!” says Carmichael. “Five years ago my husband died, and the year after that my friend Douglas Pryde, who is part-owner of Auroras Encore, was helping me out with my accounts and he said he’d take me to Deauville during sales week. I was thinking about shopping, but not shopping for horses, until I bumped into Roger, who’s the husband of my riding holiday friend. “He said ‘come and meet Amanda and Chris’ and that’s where it all started.” All was in place. Humber and Carmichael were instant converts. “I knew they’d go the distance, because the following week I

Two-year-old winners: Left, Toronado wins the Champagne Stakes and, above, Havana Gold takes a novice stakes at Ascot – the second win of his career on the second start of his career. Both horses had a change of ownership shortly after these successes, though the partners retained a share in Havana Gold, who won the Prix Jean Prat for them

was busy and they went to Doncaster sales under their own steam,” says Simmons of the partnership that flourished under Skiffington’s sharp eye. “I’m constantly being reminded that there are owners out there who have never had a winner – we have been very lucky indeed because every horse Amanda has bought for us has won, bar one,” says Humber. “She’s a great judge, she works with a great team, she’s a very important part of the process. We don’t say ‘buy us one for Ascot’, we just say ‘go and find something you like’ and we don’t tie her down to a budget.” “It’s all down to Amanda,” adds Carmichael, who two years after making their Deauville connection was back with everyone

“

I prefer to judge yearlings on the way they look, the way they move and I fell in love with Toronado the moment I saw him in town for the Arqana sale. It was time for the ‘Fifth Musketeer’ to make his entrance. The yearling by High Chaparral out of the Grand Slam mare Wana Doo was not the pick

of the paddocks on pedigree, but that’s not the way Skiffington – who was underbidder on High Chaparral himself back in the day – works. This colt had something about him that was not confined to the onionskin pages of the catalogue. “I don’t go on pedigree at all,” says Skiffington, 59, who considers that her recent four-year stint in Australia helping trainer Gai Waterhouse buy yearlings has honed her abilities as an agent. “I prefer to judge yearlings on the way they look, the way they move and I fell in love with Toronado the moment I saw him. He was declared to be a weaver and I watched him weave in his box, but once outside he had a fantastic temperament. He was just a lovely, lovely horse.” Humber conferred with Hannon about the stable vice. “He just said ‘I don’t care what he does in his spare time!’” remembers

the skiffington crew Skiffington, and with that the die was cast. They would buy Toronado, and were prepared to go well beyond the €55,000 at which the gavel fell. “I couldn’t believe it,” adds Humber, 65, who admits he relishes the trading side of owning racehorses, whereas Carmichael enjoys the racedays more and Simmons is the resident horse enthusiast. He calls the tale of Toronado a “fairy story”, and although it isn’t comparable to the recent bargain-basement affairs of the likes of Gordon Lord Byron, Snow Fairy and Lethal Force, it underlines the notion that you don’t have to be uber-wealthy to draw an ace from the pack. Humber, Carmichael and Simmons split Toronado 40-40-20, the same ratio that was applied to the Teofilo colt Skiffington bought for 80,000gns out of Tattersalls Book 1 six weeks later. “A very, very good-looking colt, a wonderful mover,” she says of the colt later called Havana Gold, the only two colts Skiffington bought for the partners that summer. Humber does most of the naming, divined Toronado – the name of masked avenger Zorro’s horse – through a circuitous route descending from High Chaparral via other much-loved old-style TV programmes. Carmichael, 53, who looks after the racing colours, produced the eyecatching red and white silks carried by Toronado through his two-year-old campaign from an amalgamation of the flags of Jersey and Guernsey. For an outlay of a little more than £120,000, the partnership had two horses who could run like the wind.

“

For an outlay of a little more than £120,000, the partnership had two horses who could run like the wind under pressure of an outstanding bill, within the circle. Havana Gold maintained his winning streak at Listed and Group 3 level before sustaining a narrow defeat in the hugely valuable Tattersalls Millions Sales race at Newmarket. Toronado, on the other hand, was unbeaten in three outings, his season drawing to an enormously promising conclusion when he outran Dundonnell to land the Group 2 Champagne Stakes at the Doncaster St Leger meeting. He was evidently a Classic contender, well fancied for both Guineas and Derby, and while winter came and went the dark, short days were illuminated by thoughts

of glory. And then March came around, and the suitors came knocking with a persistence that was impossible to ignore. “It was prudent business to sell,” says Humber, whose detached and businesslike approach is somewhat at odds with that espoused by Carmichael, for whom heart outranks head. “It was not something that I wanted to do,” she says, and the situation was made worse by the fact that she was in Barbados on holiday while Humber was in France, denying any possibility of a face-to-face, heart-to-heart. “I talked to the Hannons about it, a long conversation,” says Humber. “It was a soul-searching time and in hindsight we perhaps should have waited until we could have got together, but, anyway, we made the decision to sell. It was more heartwrenching for Fiona than it was for me.” Sold – to Sheikh Joaan Bin Hamad Al Thani, of the same Qatari family that was behind the purchase of Havana Gold. This time the sale was complete, no legs retained, no hairs of the tail, and when Toronado and Havana Gold finished first and second in the Craven Stakes at Newmarket on their seasonal debuts it advertised Skiffington’s

hich, of course, in these times of fantastically wealthy owners for whom no price is too high when it comes to the acquisition of horseflesh, brings problems of a particular kind. Havana Gold won his first two races and was then the subject of an offer from Sheikh Fahad Al Thani’s Qatar Racing Ltd. Carmichael was not particularly keen to sell, but having already vetoed an early offer for Toronado felt that she shouldn’t stand in the way of this one. The partners sold, retaining 25 per cent of the colt and thus retaining Simmons, who had sold his share in Toronado to Carmichael

“

It was proof that if you wait long enough, something like that will come along, and for me to own two horses from the same crop like those two is unbelievable ability admirably, but must have left Carmichael, Humber and Simmons mulling over what might have been. “No regrets,” says Humber. “I wished his new owner well.” Would that we could all be so serene in such times, and Carmichael may be voicing the unspoken thoughts of us all when asked for her point of view. “I was delighted when he did so well at Ascot and Goodwood, but at Newmarket everything was still too raw,” she says, and it’s impossible not to warm to such honesty.”

Whatever Havana Gold does for the rest of his career, whatever horses I own in the future, that win in France will keep a smile on my face for the rest of my life ability admirably, but must have left Carmichael, Humber and Simmons mulling over what might have been. “No regrets,” says Humber. “I wished his new owner well.” Would that we could all be so serene in such times, and Carmichael may be voicing the unspoken thoughts of us all when asked for her point of view. “I was delighted when he did so well at Ascot and Goodwood, but at Newmarket everything was still too raw,” she says, and it’s impossible not to warm to such honesty.

Supporting themselves

It was a brave decision by the Watsons not to sell their best yearling in 2010, but the decision to retain Jwala has paid off in spades, writes Sally Duckett Photography by Trevor Jones

t has been a significant lifechanging summer for the Watsons of Manor Farm Rutland. First, and most importantly, their first-born arrived at the end of July, Henrietta starting her new life a healthy happy bundle of joy. By the beginning of September the little person was blissfully and contentedly happy with her new role as the central character in the Watson household. Second, and perhaps not too far behind in the gauge of life’s pivotal moments, the Watson’s homebred filly Jwala won the Group 1 Nunthorpe Stakes. The half-length success in the York feature came at the expense of international and Group 1 sprint stalwarts such as Shea Shea and Sole Power. It was not only the filly’s first Group 1 win, but also the first black-type that could be added to her CV above a Listed win in July (also at York) and a couple of Listed placings she achieved in June. It is probably not an understatement for Danielle Watson to say she thought she was “going to pass out” when Jwala crossed the line the easy winner of the 5f sprint, despite being a 40-1 chance. “It’s been a whirlwind since,” smiles her husband Toby, as contented as his new-born

daughter. “And though she was a big price – she had been working with Kingsgate Native and we knew we had the beating of him, yet he was a 25-1 chance. We were not worried about the ground, but we had been confident going into the Goodwood race, that had gone amiss, and we were quietly confident again. “We had a slight change of tactics at York – she has such a high cruising speed so we decided to hold her up a bit more and save something for the finish.” The plan worked the proverbial treat and now the team has the Abbaye in mind with the possibility of travelling to Hong Kong though the winter. And while the Watsons would love to keep her in training next year, Jwala has got to get on with the job that she was bred and retained to do – become a broodmare for the farm and continue a line that stretches back five generations. “She was called ‘The Special One’ as a foal,” remembers Danielle. “She always had lots of personality and was quite feisty as a youngster, but she has a lovely nature now.” “We were always going to keep her,” adds Watson. “We have a lot of older mares about the place here and are needing some young blood and she was the best yearling we had that year.

It was a very special summer for Danielle and Toby Watson with the birth of their daughter Henrietta and the Group 1 success of their homebred filly Jwala

manor farm rutland “It was a tough decision as financially it has been hard over the last couple of years and the injection of cash from her yearling sale would have been very welcome. But you’ve got to look to the long-term future – she would have made a lovely broodmare whatever, it has just got that bit better now! “We would love to keep her in training, but she definitely has to get to the stud and start producing.

Dual Group 1 producer, Kangra Valley

“It is such a long term process to get a mare going and it isn’t worth the risk racing her – you’d never forgive yourself if something happened.” Offers have been flooding in for her private purchase, again a temptation that the Watsons have not succumbed to and are strictly refusing, despite the plans many other enterprises have to “cash in” this autumn with such a strong current bloodstock market. “You say no and then another one comes back,” laughs Danielle, the couple focused on using Jwala to help take their stud and their long-nurtured pedigrees to the next level and to the next generation. “I don’t think these people are used to being told no to such amounts of cash.” Stallion offers are also on the table, but Watson is keen to ensure that Jwala visits a stallion who will give her every chance of producing a two-year-old as well as a “fast type”. Speed is a gear that has served the family farm well right from its

outset when Richard and Tessa Watson, Toby’s parents, swapped a hunter mare for the thoroughbred Penny Pincher, then in-foal to a stallion called Constable. “Mum and Dad really wanted a mare in-foal to the stallion and Jwala is the fifth generation foaled at the farm from Penny Pitcher,” says Watson. “They always loved the speedy horse and I grew up with it too; it is so exciting to have a good sprinter.” Names such as the Group 2 Palace House Stakes runner-up Clantime, a son of Penny Pitcher, the Group 3 6f Cork And Orrery Stakes winner Atraf (who was by Clantime), the Group 3 Sprint and Chipchase Stakes winner Orientor and the Prix de SaintGeorges winner Mood Music have graced Manor Farm’s stud book since the 1980s. But it was in 2002 that the farm first stepped into the big league when Airwave, a 2000-born Air Express older half-sister to Jwala, won the Group 1 Cheveley Park Stakes ahead of the subsequent Guineas winner Russian Rhythm. At three, Airwave won the Group 2 Temple Stakes, finished second in the Golden Jubilee

Stakes (G1) to Choisir, third in the Sprint Stakes (G1) behind Somnus and third in the July Cup (G1) behind Oasis Dream, the sire of Jwala. She raced until she was a five-year-old proving the soundness and toughness of Manor Farm-bred stock, a trait that the Watson are justifiably proud of, and in 2005 won the Group 2 Ridgewood Pearl Stakes from Miss Trish and Kinnaird. She was bought by BBA Ireland in 2004 and subsequently ran in Michael Tabor’s ownership. She has produced two blacktype horses of her own: the Group 3 winner Aloof (Galileo) and the Listed-winning, Group 2-placed Meow (Storm Cat). She has a 2012 yearling filly and a 2013 colt – both by Galileo. “Jwala’s and Airwave’s dam Kangra Valley looks like a fell pony,” admits Watson, “but she was very tough, has loads of personality, and was very fast, she barely got 5f. “Although she has had lots of winners, and another got to Listed class, it is nice that she has had another to follow on from Airwave. “She did not go in-foal last year, she is 22

The philosophy has always been use stallions who were fast tough sprinters, whom we liked as racehorses

and we will try again, but she is getting on now. We do have Soundwave from her who has a Dutch Art foal at foot – we may offer him at the December Sales, while Jwala’s name is still in the news.” Watson’s parents bred Airwave, but in the mid-2000s the younger generation returned from desk jobs at Weatherbys and the Racing School to take over the farm. “For a long time Mum and Dad ran the stud as a hobby really, but it was a lot of work for them and either we were going to come back and take over the whole or else it had got to the stage that they were probably going to pack up,” says Watson. So returning and tasking themselves with the job of turning the farm into a commercial

enterprise, just as the recession hit and times tightened, was the strategic plan put in front of the Watson Jnr team. “It wasn’t such a big decision to come home,” says Watson. “We’ve since made a few investments, put in a camera system and a bespoke medical area, but, taking it from a hobby to a commercial enterprise without putting in a big financial investment, has been tough, especially as we needed to keep a couple back from the sales to become broodmares.”

he rural Leicestershire farm is based on a mixture of soils and offers all-year-round grazing with summer land that produces “loads of grass”. “We almost have a microclimate here, we are so sheltered,” says Watson, looking over the farm where foals are grazing happily in the autumn sun. “We feed vitamins and minerals, but we try and keep hard feed down to a minimum. The yearlings winter out as far as is possible, they generally cope well.” “I like to think that we are known for producing sound trainable horses,” adds Danielle. “I think how we rear them has a lot to do with it – it’s a rarity if one of ours doesn’t win in a year. Agents can come to us and know they are going to buy a winner for their clients and it is so nice at the sales when someone comes up and says they have had a winner out of one of our mares. “They seem to go on a long time too – Something Blue has bred the winners of over 50 races and her Bertolini son Memphis Man has won 14 races and has run 181 times! “People also know us for producing fast horses and that’s what they come to see from us. We also produce a lot of two-year-old winners too; and there is always a market for those types of horses.” “The philosophy has always been use stallions who were fast tough sprinters, whom we liked as racehorses,” explains Watson. “The aim is to produce a racehorse not a sales horse.” An admiral goal, but as Danielle admits,

We made some brave calls a year ago and next year’s nominations will be expensive, we hope the yearlings stump up the cash this autumn! studs have to be aware of the market place. “We try and stick by that, but perhaps we do try and be a bit more savvy and commercial now,” she says, her husband adding: “We want to sell at a certain level and you have to go in at a certain level because the bar is set high. “Although we have 15 mares here, some are boarders and some will be empty in a year so there will usually only be about five or six yearlings of our own to sell. They have got to make their potential at the sales, we can’t afford for them not to.” Happily settled now into their practical roles after a period of adjustment after taking over from the senior Watsons, the longevity of the stud and its pedigrees are playing to its advantage. “We do pool ideas with Mum and Dad, and they will often come up with a pearl of wisdom, which makes us think ‘why didn’t we think of that!’” laughs Watson. “We are probably quite sentimental, but I think sentiment has got its place, this is not a job that you can do devoid of emotion. We will buy an odd mare, but we like to support our own families, then, if you invest in one mare and it works, it knocks on to the other. “We have been lucky with stallions, we made some brave calls a year ago and next year’s nominations will be expensive, we hope the yearlings stump up the cash this autumn!” With Jwala’s strong Exceed And Excel half-brother, who says Watson is “the nicest yearling we have this year”, as well as a nice colt by Kyllachy and a filly by Equiano due to head to Tattersalls, just an ordinary amount of good fortune should see the bulk of the funds in place for continued investment in the farm, its inter-related pedigrees and its future. There is just one argument now raging at

www.internationalthoroughbred.net

Manor Farm: which household, Watson Snr or Jnr, gets to keep the beautiful glass trophy for winning the Nunthorpe. “It all depends whose having a dinner party,” laughs Watson. “Mum and Dad bred a Group 1 winner and sold her, we’ve bred one and kept her!” Just a few years into their role at Manor Farm, the goals have already been set pretty high for daughter Henrietta to live up to in years to come. But whatever happens in the future, it must be fairly good bet that there will still be descendants of Penny Pitcher grazing the fields of Leicestershire and producing Group-winning sprinters for a third generation of the Watson family.

Although SackvilleDonald is a bloodstock agency less than three years in existence the team has already purchased a Classic-winning filly as well as a Champion in Hong Kong Background Ed Sackville (ES): “My father always had shares in horses and I was brought up as a child watching Channel 4 Racing. I was very keen to make horseracing my career. “After leaving school my first job was as a runner for John Warren at Keeneland. All went well and for the next nine years I worked for John, completing university and the Darley Flying Start in between. “I also worked for Hughie Morrison for six months – I would recommend that anyone in racing spends time with a trainer as ultimately that is what this whole industry is all about, producing horses to win races. “I went to work at Kern Lillingston, sharing an office with Alastair for three years. It was a natural progression to set up together. “I had a lot of catching up to do when we set up – working for John had been the training and then I had three years with Luke doing deals and establishing myself. SackvilleDonald wouldn’t have worked if I had gone straight from working for John to doing this. I’m very grateful to Luke for all he taught me.” Alastair Donald (AD): “Dad was an armchair punter and owned a few bits and pieces of horses. From seven I always wanted to work in racing, but didn’t start practically until I was a teenager. “I left school and went to New Zealand for six months where I worked on studs, for trainers and on sheep stations. “I did the Equine degree at the Royal Agricultural College as well as the six-month Darley Student Stud course, also working in the Darley office in the holidays. I also had a short stint at the Racing Post. “After college I spent a year at Fasig-Tipton learning all about bloodstock marketing and sales; Terence Collier was very good at showing you the ropes and letting you learn.

www.internationalthoroughbred.net

It was then that I thought I would become a bloodstock agent. “I then had six months with Mark Johnston as his bloodstock assistant, annotating his catalogue and selling his yearlings to owners when Luke [Lillingston] offered me a job specialising in the horses in training business as he felt he was busy elsewhere and opportunities were being missed. “It was a great time – Luke was very keen that I got out and about and got my face noticed so I travelled the world, seeing lots of horses and learning from vets. When Luke moved back to Ireland, although I had a boss, I had a free rein too.”

SackvilleDonald AD: “What is nice is that we are not competing against each other as agents as we have such separate areas of the business that we concentrate on, and in fact they can be complimentary. “We are two agents working under the same banner, but we eat our own pie, and don’t share commission unless we are sharing a deal.” ES: “We do quite often share deals, but we can share costs – secretarial charges, office

“

We are two agents working under the same banner, but we eat our own pie, and don’t share commission unless we are sharing a deal

costs, those are all split 50-50 and it makes the overheads so much lower. AD: “And it makes the whole thing so much more enjoyable; it can get stale if stuck in the office alone, this makes it much more fun as well as acting as an incentive.” ES: “While it also means that we can share each other’s problems, but also being able to share each other’s success is important also. When I meet a potential client or an owner, I don’t just talk about Sky Lantern there is Military Attack and Viva Pataca too.” AD: “We can go days without seeing each other, we are not in the office a huge amount, I don’t think we’ve yet had the chance to have an argument about anything...” ES: “We are both very accessible though, we ring and get hold of each other as needed.” AD: “And our different personalities makes it work well; Ed can be quite particular about things, which is good as I am not always that meticulous, however, on the flip side, he can be a bit ‘over careful’ spending and I’ll say ‘No, we do need to spend some money on this!’”

Getting started as a bloodstock agent AD: “It is really hard getting that first break in this business. When I was starting out in the US, I was cold calling trainers and thinking ‘why the hell am I doing this? They are never going to use me to buy them a horse!’ “Then I got a lucky and bought Golden Apples – the next year when I went to talk to the trainers, when I got 30 seconds of their time, I’d drop in Golden Apples and it got their attention straight away.” ES: “Having nine years with someone as well respected as John, constantly by his side, helped to let people to know who I am. When I rang to speak to anyone at least they knew

“

Pedigree is an indication of what you may have to pay, the most important thing is the piece of horseflesh in front if you me as Ed Sackville, the kid who worked with John Warren!” AD: “Initially, I was constantly shouted at by trainers when I used to ring them about buying a horse... I guess I am known by many now, and I hope gaining some respect. I am still shouted at, but now not quite so regularly! And, yes, some are relieved now when I call. “But it’s all about avoiding mistakes as much as the success – if you avoid making too many mistakes then the success will come.” ES: “For my career, Tom Dascombe has been hugely important – he gave me that first break, and I wouldn’t be where I am today without his support. In my first year I wrote

down a list of names of those who might give me a yearling order and I came up with one, my father! And he was morally obliged to...! “I went to Deauville that year and was very sulky about it. Luke said I’d got to go and I didn’t want to – I had nothing to do, the Deauville hotels and living costs are very expensive and I didn’t want to go and just look like a lemon pulling out horses without an order. “But I got a call from Tom, whom I’d met a few times, he was going to be late getting out there and needed a list. In the end I bought him five horses and it has gone from there. “Buying those early few made all the yearling vendors take me seriously, see that I wasn’t just another tyre-kicker, that I was there with something to do.”

Yearlings, sales, buying and selling ES: “So far this year, I’ve bought 14 yearlings for a variety of clients. I luckily have more to buy.... and I have an order for The Pheasant syndicate, hence why we are meeting with you here today. I am going to talk about their order once we have finished this interview...” AD: “I help Ed through Book 2, but Sky Lantern, bought by Sackville as a yearling

www.internationalthoroughbred.net

I’m finding that I am doing more yearling business, the Hong Kong guys are buying a few now. They may buy three or four yearlings with the hope that one might be good enough to take back to Hong Kong. “They might be owners who spend their summers in Europe and enjoy the racing here anyway. The proven horse is now very expensive – the Hong Kong ownership permits are so difficult to get that they need to get it right when they buy a horse so it is worthwhile spending good money to get the return from the very strong prize-money. “Horses have got to give a return – look 95 per cent of the time, when I make an offer, if it is not taken, it is regretted, maybe not next time out, but long term it will be because often that value will never be the same again. There is always a right time to sell, however good a horse is.” ES: “One of the first things that John taught me when I bought a yearling was to think how that horse could be sold in future, its resale value down the road. “That’s why if you buy a correct yearling and one who vets well, it could be suitable for Hong Kong if it turns out to be good enough. If it is a bit slow, but of a good size and is correct, it might be attractive to the jumping boys: the day you buy is the day you sell. “Ahead of a yearling sale, I’ll obviously go through the catalogue, get rid of certain pedigrees, those by bad stallions – sires who have not got good stats and don’t get many top class horses or produce stock with bad temperaments – or those lots who are out of old mares, or mares who have, for example, had only had one winner from six runners. “Of course, if a vendor loves their horse, and he is not on the list, they will come and find me anyway to take a look at their horse. “Book 2 is tricky, just due to the sheer numbers and Alastair will work with me just to get round everything. At a select sale I will look at most…” AD: “...And then stick a pin in…!” ES:“Ha ha… knock off the bad walkers, smaller horses, offset knees and then re-look at the ones I like.” AD: “But it is all budget dependent, which of the lots on your list can be afforded. And, yes, if there is a small budget you have to forgive faults, you get to know what your trainers will forgive and what they won’t. Sometimes you have to tell a trainer not to buy one, that it’s too incorrect to have any resale value. ES: “Sky Lantern was a very specific order –

sackvilledonald Ben [Keswick] wanted to buy a likely sprinter by a champion sprinter as a long-term breeding prospect. “Alastair had bought her half-brother Arctic, it is a very speedy family and she ticked all the boxes. Pedigree is an indication of what you may have to pay, the most important thing is the piece of horseflesh in front if you. “She fitted the budget and was bought to be a sprinter. On her second start, after she won the Listed Sprint Stakes, I rang and said to Ben: ‘Job done! She’s won a black-type race and it’s called the Sprint Stakes. Anything else she does now is a bonus!” “Winning the Moyglare, the 1000 Guineas and the Coronation Stakes has been quite a bonus. “As you can imagine there has been plenty of interest in her, however it has been very satisfying to see her win those Group 1 and Classic races in Ben’s colours. The Sun Chariot is the next target…” AD: “...And then I am gonna kick her arse with Military Attack in Hong Kong...!” ES: “...Then she is going to run in Hong Kong where she is gonna smash Military Attack, all he’ll manage to do is be her lead horse! She’ll get conditions there to suit – they will go quick, it will be fast ground and it will be in Ben’s back yard. You own horses to have fun, and it will be wonderful for him to have his horse run in Hong Kong where he lives.”

Supporting those who support you AD: “It used to be that the horses I bought for Hong Kong and Australia were principally for trainers, they were my clients. Now I am finding that a lot more owners are coming to me direct. It is nice now to be able to reciprocate to trainers – I have the owners now and can give them back.” ES: “It is very important that if someone gives you support, that you show them support too. You can’t have your cake and eat it. Now that we have some good clients, we can recommend those trainers who have helped us.”

Military Attack: the multiple Group 1 winner is Donald’s current flagbearer and champion in Hong Kong

Buying horses in training for abroad AD: “Things have gone very well. I have bought the odd horse who doesn’t acclimatise, but we have had more good ones than bad ones. “We’ve been very lucky and have some very loyal clients – John Moore for example. “I bought him Goggles from Henry Candy and then Vita Pataca came along for him, which cemented Hong Kong for a while. “The US business has slowed down in the last five years, due to the economy and the state of US racing. They have been buying at a lower level, outbid by those buying for Hong Kong, so the quality has dropped. But there are signs that the US business is coming back, we are getting more orders again. “Conversely five years ago,

Australian business really picked up, but it is hard to find the right horse for that market as there is such a small pool of horses. “They can be anything from milers and up – December Draw and My Kingdom Of Fife are really 1m2f horses, but they have the ability which helps them stay that bit further. “It’s a combination of things – races over

sackvilledonald 1m2f and more are definitely a little easier there than in Europe and some horses really suit the style of racing: the climate, the fast ground, the style of training, the way that the horses have four quick runs. “Some high profile horses don’t do well, yet some Listed performers become Group 1 horses. “But demand is definitely greater than supply. It is hard to buy a ready-made Melbourne Cup horse as many Europeanbased owners are taking them out themselves now, they used to sell those horses. Usually I am looking for improving three-year-olds who want 1m2f plus, and are rated 80 or more. “I can’t watch all races all the time, so that is where the good British-based racing websites are so good with all the replay action you can watch online. “The internet and communications have made buying and selling horses so much easier. We used to have to fax pages and pages of results from the Sporting Life, FedEx DVDs around the world and the whole process from offering to accepting used to take weeks. “Now you can send photos instantly, and you have to move on a horse very quickly or else you will be too late. “It has certainly helped to make it easier to sell horses who otherwise might not have been sold; buyers have greater confidence as they can watch videos or see photos.”

Hong Kong, supporting each other

AD: “For the Hong Kong market, you are looking at sprinter / milers, and then up to 1m2f horses. The big money is paid for potential horses for the Hong Kong Derby, which is run over 1m2f and is for four-yearolds. “But we’ll buy a lot of sprinters too – there are only three middle-distance Group races and there are no races over a distance of ground for run-of-the-mill horses. “So we’ll look at a lot of lightly raced twoyear-olds with the right profile – they need to be correct, want fast ground, be solid, scopey types. “Hong Kong-based trainers don’t like small horses as, on the whole, the horses are running in handicaps carrying big weights, and with the humid climate small horses tend to fall away and lose weight too quickly.” ES: “Knowing now the horses that Alastair likes to buy for Hong Kong and elsewhere has influenced the type of yearling I buy

www.internationalthoroughbred.net

“

We feed off each other and quite regularly one of Ed’s clients will want me to value one, or be advised as to when the time might be right to sell for Tom and other clients. “We used to look for the early type of jump and run two-year-old, but if you don’t get to Ascot with that sort, then the resale value is not always that great.” AD: “It is hard for that sort even if it does get to Ascot: the 100-rated, 15.1hh two-year-old can make very little at the sales as it does not appeal to Hong Kong, while the US doesn’t want to buy sprinters.” ES: “It works well if I buy a yearling with the right conformation, who ends up good enough and with the right profile for Alastair to consider for his clients. “Then we’ll know the horse’s history, that it vetted clean as yearling, while it might also have been under our management as a racehorse so we know its ongoing story. It gives greater buying confidence.” AD: “We feed off each other and quite regularly one of Ed’s clients will want me to value one, or be advised as to when the time might be right to sell. It is a good mutual arrangement.”

“

Yes, we are doing a sales job, but it doesn’t feel like that – what other sales job lets you be involved further down the line?

Three Chimneys ES: “I really enjoy my role as European agent for Three Chimneys, it is a great chance to sit on the other side of the process for three days of the year. I think I can be a bit more ‘pushy’ than if I were a vendor selling at every sale who may have persuaded an agent or buyer into looking at lots of yearlings, foals and horses in training at the earlier sales in the autumn; I am doing this as a one-off. “Three Chimneys are also very particular about bringing over a certain level of black-type filly, and if someone has come to see one of them, I feel perfectly justified in telling them that they ought to look at the others. “But, primarily, they are very good people to work with, in fact all our clients are good people to work with which makes it particularly nice when things go well.” AD: “Again, the mutal arrangement works well as often I may have bought the fillies for Three Chimneys to run in the US. It gives that greater depth and knowledge about a horse.”

Doing a sales job, schmoozing at parties?

AD: “Yes, we are doing a sales job, but it doesn’t feel like that – what other sales job lets you be involved further down the line? “When you sell a house or a car, you never get to see it again; we get to drink champagne in the winners’ enclosure and can celebrate with the owners!” ES: “I suppose I see our role as advisors....” AD: “Well, when I am at a dinner party and I need to explain my role, my best analogy is that I am an “equine football agent”. I am looking in the Vauxhall Conference for a player who might be good enough for the Premiership. ES: “I find it difficult to just go up to a stranger at a party and say “Hey, I’m Ed Sackville, let me buy you your next horse!” If I am introduced to someone then I will chat away and explain what I do, that’s fine. People are all different, some like that forward approach and some don’t.” AD: “You do still have to be thick-skinned to an extent, and, yes, trainers still shout at me! But I think our honest straight-forward method is appreciated.” ES: “And I think we are approachable. It’s great when it all works out. We have been lucky, things have gone the right way.”

houghton bloodstock

New company, same faces The growing business Houghton Bloodstock might be relatively new on the sales scene, but Robin Sharp and Malcolm Bryson are certainly not lacking in experience. Beth Carter meets the long-term friends and business partners at Fox Farm, and finds out how they have built their business up after difficult beginnings

houghton bloodstock

acing is a game that favours long-standing working relationships, and Robin Sharp and Malcolm Bryson must have one of the most long-running working partnerships in the business. The duo may now be into their fourth decade of working side by side, but their business name is a relative newcomer, with Houghton Bloodstock having consigned its first yearlings only in 2008. Since its arrival on the scene, Houghton Bloodstock has gone from strength to strength, raising top-level winners such as Mayson and Belle Royale and producing consistently high results in the sales ring as well. Houghton Bloodstock topped proceedings for most of the opening day of the DBS Premier Yearling Sales with a Dutch Art filly out of a half-sister to the speedy juvenile

Petardia, bought by BBA Ireland for £120,000, with that price eclipsed twice only in the last five lots of the day. Just five lots before the filly out of Petong’s Pet sold, Houghton Bloodstock had scored another hit with a yet another daughter of Dutch Art, with Johnny McKeever securing the first foal out of an unraced half-sister to the Listed performer Tahirah for £75,000. Both fillies were consigned by Houghton Bloodstock on behalf of a long-standing client Colin Murfitt, who breeds at Pantile Stud near Soham. “He does his horses so well, and he’s a friend as well as a client so it was great to get a good result for him,” Sharp says. Long-standing relationships are the hallmark of Houghton Bloodstock, from the working partnership between Sharp and Bryson to the solid client base built up over all those years.

The pair met when working at Collin Stud near Newmarket in the early 1980s, where Sharp was stud manager and Bryson the stud groom. The stud was owned by Neil Adam, who found renown as a trainer with such horses as the dual Prix de l’Abbaye victor Gentilhombre and Haveroid, winner of the William Hill Sprint Championship in 1977 (now the Nunthorpe). It is a matter of record now that Adam left Collin Stud in his will to Bryson and Sharp as thanks for all their work over the years, and that after a lengthy legal challenge, the will was overturned in court in favour of Adam’s daughters, prompting Sharp and Bryson to purchase their own property in 2007 and to found Houghton Bloodstock. The pair are matter-of-fact about the long court battle, but their respect and admiration for the man they both still refer to as “the boss” colours everything.

“We learned how to work hard [at Collin Stud] and we did graft for him. Mr Adam was ill and we made him a promise that he would stay at home. He had to have 24-hour care so we had to earn £100,000 a year before anyone else got fed, watered or paid so we had to work hard,” Sharp says. “But we did it, because we made a promise to Mr Adam that he would die at home and we fulfilled that. It was the hardest thing ever to go through; my father died when I was 10 and I started working for the boss when I was 12 so it was like a father-son relationship. “It was a very stressful time at the end because we had to keep the show on the road, and make the owners feel comfortable. All of the owners could have jumped ship but they all stayed loyal. Every owner came with us [to Houghton Bloodstock], we didn’t lose one person through it. We might have lost the court case, but I think we had the best outcome in buying Fox Farm.” Houghton Bloodstock is based at the 150acre Fox Farm in the village of Hundon, just a 25-minute drive from Newmarket in idyllic rolling Suffolk countryside. The farm has been developed by the pair ever since they bought, and, along with rented yards nearby, the operation is now home to around 45 permanent boarders with many more mares visiting on a seasonal basis. A yearling draft of around 40 horses will be offered between Tattersalls and Doncaster this year. “It had been down to grass for 16 years and had never had a horse on it. We had to build it up from scratch; it was a blank canvas,” Bryson recalls. “We have all the benefits of being close to Newmarket, but the year after we came here we actually bought some more land and you just can’t do that in Newmarket because it is such huge money. “We try to do a project a year because when we got here we couldn’t walk in and say we were going to do everything in one go; we had to do the basics and add to it every year. Everything is done to the best we can, so when clients come and look at their horses they know they are staying in a good hotel!” Quality is the byword for the pair who are continually upgrading their stock and urging their clients to do the same. “The name was Robin’s idea,” Bryson says.

“It was just after Tattersalls had disbanded the Houghton sale and it was a name that was synonymous with success and topclass horses. “The one thing we could never do at Collin Stud was buy good quality bloodstock; we made Mr Adam’s living out of mucking out horses for other people, so when we came here we decided to buy a few horses and sell some foals every December and we have been quite successful at it.” “No-one can make money mucking out horses,” Sharp agrees. “If people think they have 50 boxes and will get 50 cheques at the end of the month they are living in a fantasy world. The only way in this industry that you can really make money is by buying and selling horses.” The pair consigned their first yearlings under the Houghton Bloodstock banner in 2008 and have not looked back, while away from sales ring successes have included top results on the racecourse from horses raised on the farm such as the July Cup (G1) victor Mayson and the Gamely Stakes (G1) heroine Belle Royale. Mayson was raised at the stud on behalf of David and Emma Armstrong, who have been clients since they bought their first mare, while Belle Royale was consigned by Houghton Bloodstock to clear a bad debt. The Val Royal filly shrugged off her lowly £800 price tag to go on to Grade 1 glory in the US in 2012, having won eight times in Britain for Mark Brisbourne who

Every owner came with us we didn’t lose one person through it. We might have lost the court case, but I think we had the best outcome in buying Fox Farm

The name “Houghton Bloodstock” was devised after the Tattersalls sale was disbanded, Bryson and Sharp feeling the name was “synonymous with success and top-class horses”. Houghton Bloodstock has a yearling draft of 18 to sell at Tattersalls, having consigned 14 at the DBS Premier Sale

“

The only way in this industry that you can really make money is by buying and selling horse purchased her at DBS’s October Yearling Sales. “One of the arts of this game is knowing what you can make a horse into, not what you’re looking at,” Sharp explains. “You can’t have a field of horses and treat them all the same though; some horses will need 12 weeks preparation, some will only need six. But you need to know that when you go to the sales you have done your absolute best to get that horse there. There’s no good going to the sales and saying ‘I wish I had another fortnight’. Our aim is to take a horse to the sales and turn heads. If a horse turns a head and gets a second look then you have a great chance of selling it well. “I always say to our clients that we have to put a commercial angle on things and do them for the right reasons. If you’ve got something there with good nicks then we’ll do that, but try to put a commercial angle on it and then you’ve covered all bases. There are a lot of people who do it the opposite way, but you have to be so wealthy to do that.” “When the hammer comes down, that’s the truth,” Bryson adds. “You don’t want your owner disappointed if you call your geese swans. When we get a swan we’ll tell everyone!”

oth Sharp and Bryson are present at every sale at which they consign. “It’s a bit like going racing and your trainer not being there,” Bryson explains. “The owner wants the full ambience of everything and you’ve got to be there. And it’s a buzz, a drug. If you’ve got something good, then you want to get it out of the box and show people.” “Mr Adam used to say to me ‘Malcolm, you must go to every sale, even if you don’t want to, you must’,” Bryson continues. “That’s how he got Gentilhombre. The horses were working one morning, it was a really wet day and he went into the house soaking wet and didn’t want to go to the sales. But something made him go and he got the best horse he ever had, for 1,000gns, just by standing by the ring.” The nature of the game has changed radically over the years since Bryson and Sharp went to work at Collin Stud as teenagers. That stud was home to a

succession of stallions over the years, many of them on behalf of Coolmore. “When we first started, everybody had a mare and every farm had a stallion but now the small man just keeps mares because getting a stallion is a fortune. We wouldn’t rule out stallions, but it would have to be the right one,” Bryson says. “I used to love doing the stallions; selling a nomination was like scoring a goal,” Sharp recalls. “Over the years we had stallions such as College Chapel, Lake Coniston, Longleat, Danzig Connection. Danzig Connection actually put us on the road to solvency because things weren’t going that well but

then when Danzig Connection came through the gate things changed because you got the number of mares through. We paid $100,000 for him when it was $2 to the pound and we got 120 mares for him at £4,500 so it was good business.” So what is the secret to such a long and profitable working relationship as the one between Sharp and Bryson? “There was never a question of one of us going out on our own. Mr Adam wanted us to stay as a team and that’s how I saw it,” Sharp says. “We know each other inside out, but I suppose as we have totally different interests we also don’t live in each other’s pockets.” “Robin is the front man, he deals with all the clients while I love working on the farm,” Bryson adds. “But we both work hard, we’re not gentleman farmers! We have a great staff, including our stud groom Jodie Mison, and we work as a team.” www.houghtonbloodstock.co.uk

equine genetics and statistics

Of math and men (and horses) Byron Rogers examines statistical and genetic theory in relation to yearling selection

tatistician, political observer and baseball fan Nate Silver put it simply and accurately in his seminal book The Signal and the Noise when he wrote: “The signal is the truth. The noise is what distracts us from the truth” or, in another way, “Caesar recognised the omens, but he didn’t believe that they applied to him!” Anyone who buys a yearling at a sale knowingly or otherwise has created a set of paradigms or tools for selection: buyers are themselves trying to disseminate the “signal” from the “noise” in order to select the superior runner. Some purchasers start with the catalogue page, eliminating sires who fail to meet

“

Anyone who buys a yearling at a sale, knowingly or otherwise, has created a set of paradigms or tools for selection: buyers are themselves trying to disseminate the “signal” from the “noise”

certain percentages or mares who failed to race. Others look at female lines and some arcane and unscientific theories such as the “X-Factor”. Some of these have proven statistical validity, while others have littlevalue at all. The thoroughbred industry is steeped in tradition and in many ways clings to its dogmas as truisms. However, in the last

Sadler’s Wells: produced 73 Group / Grade 1 winners, but a lower percentage came in his later crops

few years, possibly spurred by the success of statistical analytics in baseball and other sports (or maybe it just comes down to the increasing cost of racing a horse), a new set of tools has started to gain popularity within the thoroughbred industry – big data models, phenotypic measurements and genetics. Data and statistics are now more easily part of our everyday life and in the thoroughbred industry increasingly forming part of pedigree-based models that are used to model specific “shortlists” for buyers at yearling sales and prospective matings for mares. The thoroughbred has a rich history and it is surprisingly well documented as compared to other breeds, so giving those using data properly an advantage when it comes to these processes. These new models are as an example being created to determine what is the highest percentage play at the yearling sale for a particular phenotype, or in betting terms, it is not about finding the winners rather finding where you have a significant advantage that others don’t. The winners come after finding the advantage.

Stallion statistics

As an example of one such use of statistics to model performance, the great stallion Sadler’s Wells and a host of other modern stallions have now created a data point for the modeler that makes selection at yearling sales all that more interesting. In his stellar career Sadler’s Wells sired 2,259 foals (including those born but never named) and produced 73 Group or Grade 1

www.internationalthoroughbred.net

equine genetics and statistics winners. Now, if we consider that the first foal born by Sadler’s Wells is foal number one and the second foal born is foal number two (incidentally, that was In The Wings) and we then number the foals by their date of birth the distribution of his Group 1 winners is illuminating. By roughly splitting Sadler’s Wells’s stud career 60/40 with the first 1,350 foals born up towards the end of the year 2000 and the subsequent 909 born after that point, we see the likes of Montjeu (foal number 786), Galileo (989) and High Chaparral (1,108) all appearing in the first half of his stud career. Somewhat surprisingly though, and this is where the data analysts are finding the advantage, of Sadler’s Wells’s 73 Group 1 winners, only 10 (or 13.5 per cent) can be found in the latter 40 per cent of his stud career. Put simply, you had a 4.66 per cent chance of seeing a Group 1 winner in Sadler’s Wells’s first 1,350 foals, but a 1.1 per cent chance in his last 909 foals. This abnormal distribution starts at a time when Sadler’s Wells was at the height of his career so it is not a case of reduced opportunity.

“

It may come as a surprise to some, but through his last 318 foals born (14 per cent of his foal total) Sadler’s Wells failed to sire a Group 1 winner What this statistic did begin to say is that as a buyer, especially given the cost of procurement of a yearling by him at the time, you might have been better off looking elsewhere. That is not to say that Sadler’s Wells wasn’t capable of getting a top-class horse beyond the 1,350 foal threshold – the mighty Yeats was foal number 1,485 – but the advantage that Sadler’s Wells gave to the yearling buyer was gone. He was just a “slightly above

average” stallion at that point. It may come as a surprise to some, but through his last 318 foals born (14 per cent of his foal total) Sadler’s Wells failed to sire a Group 1 winner. Sadler’s Wells is, along with Danehill and Sunday Silence, one of the three greatest stallions I have ever seen, but he’s not alone in this performance regression. Studies we have completed on 30 superior sires whose stud careers went to retirement (i.e. they didn’t die prematurely, like say Danehill) show a similar trend, these stallions on average sire 85 per cent of their Group 1 and Group 2 winners (what we consider superior and worthy of using to study) in the first 55 per cent of their stud career. In the second half of their careers they are nowhere nearly as potent in terms of supplying superior runners at the frequency that they once did, and indeed in a high percentage of cases the superior runners found later in their career either occur as the result of a repeat of a previously successful mating – Listen (born 2005) followed Sequoyah (1998) – or they are out of mares

equine genetics and statistics who produce multiple stakes winners, for example the dam of Yeats who produced stakes winners by Danehill. This is, of course, just one data point in a sea of data that is relevant to finding advantage within yearling sale selection.

Broodmare sire statistics anomaly

Another interesting statistic is found in offspring of unraced mares. If you are looking at a yearling out of an unraced mare in terms of her impact on the resultant performance of that unraced yearling, the race performance of the granddam (the dam of the unraced mare) is only marginally more important than the race performance of the broodmare sire (the sire of the unraced mare), yet the broodmare sire is a blip on the catalogue page when compared to what we see on the page for the grand-dam. This type of information asymmetry creates a market misallocation that can be both modeled and taken advantage of, but it would be naïve to suggest that they can stand alone to pick a superior horse. A well-known industry cliché is that “paper doesn’t run very fast” but neither do numbers for. The purpose of data modeling is to find advantage or more specifically a starting point for further analysis. Data is used to work out where yearlings are undervalued and overvalued, and what is the most efficient way of finding a specific type of horse.

Data is used to work out both where yearlings are undervalued and overvalued, and what is the most efficient way of finding a specific type of horse Can elite horses be discovered by genetics?

It is a similar story when it comes to the field of genetics. This year might well represent a watershed moment in terms of genetic performance evaluation in racehorses with the Irish company Equinome being involved with the Classic winners Dawn Approach and Trading Leather, while Performance Genetics had a hand in the selection of leading North American three-year-old Verrazano. Early success such as these can, however, be overstated and, as it is with data modeling and statistics, if anyone claims that they can tell if a horse is going to be an elite runner by just sampling their DNA, they are leading you astray. It is just not that simple. The concepts of genetic evaluation are twofold – how far and how fast? In terms of how far a horse wants to run, you would have to be

equine genetics and statistics interact with it, as well as other phenotypic measurements, we are finding that it alone is not the answer to how far a horse wants to run and greater explanations as to why horses, who are genetically supposed to be sprinters based on their genetic variations, are winning races such as the Kentucky Derby and Breeders’ Cup Classic for example. One of the reasons for sprinters getting further than they should seems to lie in the cardiovascular capacity and splenic mass of the horse. Horses, who are sprinters based on their genes but are winning Group 1 races over 1m2f, are invariably endowed with a significantly larger and stronger

“

Again, like distance, there is no single “class gene” in thoroughbreds, rather a host of genes some of which are more important than others

cardiovascular capacity and a larger than normal spleen than horses with similar genetic profiles. That said, just having this advantage is again not the answer. Cardiovascular and splenic mass only explains about 22 per cent of the variance in performance. Or in other

terms, the cardiovascular dimensions explain 22 per cent of the difference between an elite horse and a non-elite horse, the other 78 per cent is explained by other factors. In terms of class, there are a number of genes that have been found to influence athletic performance in racehorses. Again, like distance, there is no single “class gene” in thoroughbreds, rather a host of genes some of which are more important than others, depending on the type of horse that you are looking at. As an example, a rare variation found within a gene called PPARGC1a is statistically important for elite stayers, but the common variation is found in champion sprinters and slow horses of all distances alike. Thus, if you want to find elite distance horses you want to test for this variation, but, if you are looking for a sprinter, it is irrelevant. Like data modeling mentioned earlier however, genetic testing for performance isn’t a perfect stand alone test at yearling sales. Over a large population of horses it can accurately tell you how far the horse wants to run and again over a large population of horses it can tell you which horses are more likely to be slow. But ad hoc genetic testing of horses at sales where disparate requirements are found (some want to buy a sprinting filly and others a distance colt, which are two completely different genotypes) and without any other data or measurements to support it, stretches the accuracy of even the most well designed genetic prediction models. None of these advances will prove that all of our industry’s traditions are wrong. The data has often confirmed what we already knew to be true by looking at a horse, and yearling selection and mating plans will never be broken down completely into statistics and genotypes. This new frontier is, however, starting to tell us that how things have always been done may not necessarily mean how things should always be done.

Mare of the month Gender Dance (Miesque’s Son) Dam of: Great White Eagle ex Gender War (Green Dancer) ex Execution (The Axe)

Joseph O’Brien returns in triumph on Great White Eagle after success in the Go And Go Stakes. Though the son of Darley Stud’s Elusive Quality is not being mentioned by Aidan O’Brien (at present) in the same breath as Australia, the colt still has some big targets ahead of him Photo: PA

or every rags to riches tale of a cheaply-bred and bought horse who goes on to glory, there are always stories of eye-wateringly expensive horses, who are never heard of again after their sales rings

fireworks. Fortunately for the Coolmore team, Great White Eagle falls into neither camp. Having set a European breeze-up record when purchased for 760,000gns by Jamie McCalmont at the Tattersalls Craven Breeze-Up Sale in April, Great White Eagle recorded his first stakes success in early September when winning the Go And Go Round Tower Stakes (G3) at The Curragh. The son of Elusive Quality found plenty of friends in the ring at Tattersalls in April, having been pinhooked from Keeneland September for $120,000 by Mags O’Tool. He is being equally well supported for next year’s 2,000 Guineas after his 2l victory over Remember You in the 6f contest – his second win from as many starts. With his win more solid than spectacular, Great White Eagle’s price tag may remain the main talking point for a while longer, but the colt is also intriguing as a very rare example of a part-Darley-bred horse racing for the Coolmore triumvirate. After the buying embargo between the two groups began in 2006, it is now almost unheard of for a horse bred by either the Darley or Coolmore camps to race in the colours of the opposition. Of course, Great White Eagle cannot be claimed solely as a product of the vast global Darley nursery having bred in partnership with Rosemont Farm in America. His dam is the Miesque’s Son mare Gender Dance, who has already produced one stakes performer in Quarrel (Maria’s Mon), third in the 2009 Mill Reef Stakes (G2). Just a

Gender Dance was bred by the late great Edward P Evans, whose finest runners include the Horse of the Year Saint Liam and the champion Quality Road $32,000 yearling purchase at Keeneland September in 2008, Quarrel also provided a useful pinhooking investment, being resold for £80,000 at the DBS Breeze-Up Sales, although he failed to add to his two victories at two in 12 subsequent starts. Gender Dance was bred by the late great Edward P Evans, whose finest runners include the Horse of the Year Saint Liam and the champion Quality Road, the latter who raced in his colours. Evans sadly died of leukemia at the age of 68 less than three months before Great White Eagle was foaled in March 2011. The dispersal of his outstanding nursery at Keeneland later that year became the highest-grossing dispersal in the company’s history – in itself no mean feat – with 101 horses selling for $49,669,500 at the November Sale, adding to the $6,527,000 spent on 50 Evans-bred yearlings at the September Sale. The cumulative total of $56,196,500 comfortably topped the previous Keeneland record of $46,912,800 for the Nelson Bunker Hunt dispersal in 1988 at the January Horses of All Ages Sale. The branch of the Evans’s family tree that yielded Great White Eagle had been pruned long before the 2011 dispersal, but, by one of those odd coincidences that seemingly abound in racing, the family actually stems from the Bunker Hunt empire. The pedigree has its roots in the Promised Land mare House Of Cards, who landed the Del Mar Oaks in 1972 for Fletcher R. Jones. Jones has earned a place in bloodstock history not just for his own breeding exploits, but also as the man who gave his employee Martin J. Wygod two horses as a 25th birthday present. Since then, Wygod has entered the record books many times over and has bred and / or owned such horses as Tranquility Lake, Exotic Wood, Sweet Catomine, Life Is Sweet, and After Market. Jones was tragically killed, aged 41, in the same year as House Of Cards’s biggest triumph when the plane he was piloting crashed into a hillside. His bloodstock was dispersed the

following year and Nelson Bunker Hunt secured House Of Cards for $90,000. The mare was sold again in 1980 – in fact she would pass through the sales ring three further times, for the last time in 1988 for just $5,200 – but by then she had already left him Execution, a daughter of The Axe II.

xecution did not make it to the racetrack, and was aged 15 by the time she was purchased by Evans in 1990 for $75,000. The mare was in-foal to Green Dancer and in May 1991 she foaled a filly at Evans’s Spring Hill farm in Virginia. Evans named the filly Gender War and she was sent into training with Bill Mott. She ran just once, finishing unplaced in a maiden special weight at Gulfstream Park as a threeyear-old, and retired with earnings of just $250 to her name. These were hardly impressive credentials, particularly when viewed against the embarrassment of riches Evans had in his nursery, but the mare was nonetheless given a chance at stud. The best of her progeny would prove to be

her 2002 Stormin Fever colt, sold for $75,000 at the 2003 Keeneland September Sale. Named Fusaichi Auster, he achieved his best result when second in the Nippon Sho St Lite Kinen (G2) in Japan. Gender Dance’s 2000 foal, Gender War, did not do a huge amount to enhance her dam’s record although she did win twice, at Delta Downs in Louisiana and Mountaineer in West Virginia in the colours of Spiess Stables. In 2006, Gender War was finally culled from the Evans broodmare band, selling for just $7,000 at the Keeneland November Sales. Given that Evans bred the multiple Grade 1 winner Quality Road (Elusive Quality) in the same year, it is safe to assume that Evans did not miss the mare. By then, her daughter Gender Dance was in the hands of Rosemont, for whom she produced Quarrel and Miss Mediator (Consolidator), a minor winner as a four-year-old for Andrew Tinkler on the All-Weather at Dundalk in 2012. Between Miss Mediator and Great White Eagle, Gender Dance produced fillies by Lemon Drop Kid and Quiet American. The latter, named Belen, has raced just twice, finishing out of the frame on both her starts this season. Gender Dance’s Kitten’s Joy yearling filly was catalogued for the Keeneland September Yearling Sale before her half-brother raced; his name does not even feature on her catalogue page. The update did not help the filly: she went through for $95,000 unsold. Unfortunately, Gender Dance slipped to Mineshaft last year, but is now in foal to Trappe Shot (Tapit), the Grade 2 sprint winner who stands at Claiborne Farm for $10,000 and has his first foals on the ground this year.

photo of the month Dar Re Mi’s first foal, a yearling colt by Oasis Dream, led up here by Watership Down Stud’s stud groom, Terry Doherty. The colt is catalogued as Lot 354 in Tattersalls Book 1 and is to be sold under the Watership Down Stud banner. The farm’s homebred Dar Re Mi (Singsiel) won three Group 1 races and £2,698,880 in earnings. She had a filly by Dubawi this year, who is likely to be retained, and is in-foal to Frankel. This colt was nicknamed “Jesus” as a foal because everyone who came to the stud wanted to see him... Watership has a draft of 37 going to Tattersalls: 23 in Book 1 and 14 in Book 2
