the foreword

In his own words....

In 1991 a collection of Lord Oaksey’s writings from his Horse And Hound’s Audax column were published in the book, “Oaksey On Racing, Thirty Years of Writing and Racing”. The selected articles were all personally chosen by Lord Oaksey. Below, we have reprinted his own introduction to the book, and then a feature in which he explains how a small bet on a slow horse at a point-to-point ignited in him his love of horseracing. When I first wrote the Audax column in Horse and Hound 32 years ago, Arkle was an unbroken two-yearold, Lester Piggott had yet to become a champion jockey, betting shops were still illegal and the Levy Board was no more than a twinkle in some Home Secretary’s eye. Patrol cameras, starting stalls, overnight declarations and licensed lady trainers were all still in the future and the age of commercial sponsorship had only just been launched with the first Whitbread and Hennessy Gold Cups. You could, I am sure, fill numerous books with an account of the transformation through which British racing has passed since then. But this, you will be relived to hear, is not one of them. There have only been three Audaxes since Arthur Portman (the first of them) started Horse And Hound in 1884 – and none of us has been noticeably reluctant to state a view on racing rules, controversies and “politics”. But although such topics do find an occasional place

in the pages that follow, they are mostly, as far as this particular book is concerned, beside the point. For the best of my fun (to borrow a phrase from Horse And Hound), one way and another, has come either from riding horses or watching people do it better. For more than half that period I had the amazing good luck to be paid, effectively, for doing the thing I loved the most in life – and was privileged, what’s more, to do it alongside men like Fred Winter, Tim Brookshaw, Stan Mellor and their contemporaries. No other sport I can think of gives the mere amateur scribbler the chance to share, however remotely and ineptly, the lives of his heroes. Certainly no other job could have enabled me to enjoy and attempt to describe, at such close quarters, the exploits of those even more deserving heroes, the horses on whose willing courage all of us depend. By John Oaksey

For pure joy, jumping’s the game

was about six when I backed my first winner, sixpence on the nose of a horse called Nettlebed whose jockey had red hair. I know he had red hair because, nearly 30 years before anyone had thought of chinstraps, his hat came off at the first fence. But the leader fell at the last, my hero rode Nettlebed safely home and I was five bob richer. My father and his before him were lifelong supporters of the Pegasus (Bar) point-topoint and when the first post-war meeting was threatened by an understandable dearth of legal runners, my sister’s beloved 20-yearold hunter was called upon for his first and

only racecourse appearance. A small, elegant chestnut called Lohengrin, he had never been known to turn his head out hunting and, since my sister had only a halfbred heavyweight to gallop with, Lohengrin’s speed seemed more than adequate to us. You have to be at least a would-be barrister to ride in the Bar point-to-point, so, having not left school, I was not even offered the ride. The invitation when instead to Gerald Ponsonby (now Lord de Mauley), who, very honestly, warned Lohengrin’s trainer that he had just been struggling with his Bar exams and was far from certain to stay three miles! Nine ran, including at least one judge, in

the Bar Lightweight Race and, although they hardly looked a Gold Cup field, Lohengrin started at 20 to 1. A kindly godfather gave me a pound to put on, so there I was, proud possessor of a bookies’ ticket representing by far the biggest wager of my life. But not for the first or last time, alas, home gallops turned out to be misleading. Lohengrin’s rivals might not have been flying machines, but they went a whole lot faster than the trees past which he had flashed by so impressively at Oaksey. After the first fence he and Gerald Ponsonby were fully a fence behind. But, as John Buckingham learnt on

t was only years later that the same race, the Bar Lightweight, caused them to take permanent root and deprived the legal proffesion of my services. By then, as a law student, I was qualified to ride – and had, in fact, done so with notable lack of success in five other point-to-points. My steed at Kimble was a sharp-looking mare called Next Of Kin, whose previous form did not give obvious grounds for confidence. Moreover, she did her best to live up to her name by rearing and falling over backwards not once but twice in the paddock. In the race, by conrast, it was the others who fell over. Next Of Kin jumped round like a stag inspired and, for the first time, I learnt how it feels when things go right – when you see a stride and ask and the horse comes up and lands far out the other side to flick away as smooth as silk. It is a sensation which comes in a million varieties, but I have never found anything in sport to match it and, for that first lesson, I owe Next Of Kin an unpayable debt. Before she came on the scene, most of my tiny point-to-point experience was in the Oxford and Bullingdon grinds. The University Drag was generally presided over in those days by Gay Kindersley and early almost every morning we used to chug together

down the long straight road to Bicester in his geriatric Wolsey Hornet to ride out with that great sportsman and stableman Cecil Bonner. Then, and for many years before and after, Cecil was the centre-point round which the riding section of Oxford life revolved. With infinite patience and forbearance he organised our gallops (round Bicester Aerodrome), supervised the mutual schooling of both horses and riders, trained our pointto-pointers, found hirelings when they were

Foinavon some years later, you must never give up on a steeplechase. By the time they passed us first time round, two had fallen, and the fifth from home at Kimble is (or was in those days) an open ditch. Pausing to take a cautious look at it, the riderless leader transmitted his misgivings to the five survivors and in a trice all five had come to a grinding, muddled halt and were milling round to try again. It was into this chaotic jumble of blaspheming barristers and gesticulating judges that Lohengrin cantered sedately like a duchess at a children’s party. Without a glance to right or left, he popped over the offending ditch and suddenly the impossible was on the cards again. There were, however, four fences still to jump and for different reasons both Gerald and his mount were beginning to feel the strain. They came apart twice at the last two fences, but each time the breathless jockey held on like a hero. As he and Lohengrin set off up the run-in, the first of their opponents had only just got over the ditch – so my £20 was safe and the seeds of my passion for racing more deeply implanted than ever.

needed and repeatedly put up with our incompetence. It was Cecil, I think, who stage-managed what was meant to be the triumphant final racing bow of Gay’s father Philip Kindersley, himself a past Master of the Drag, president of the Bullingdon and founder of the still thriving Mid-Surrey Farmers’ Drag. Philip Kindersley was also by that time an extremely senior and important figure in the City, well past the usual age for “bumping round” in point-to-points. So a reliable firstrate conveyance was called for and, since victory was also very much the aim, Cecil secured on our behalf one of the best hunter chasers then in training. Even with four or five motley opponents in the Bullingdon Past and Present Race, he represented one of the most cast-iron good things in chasing history, but, not for the first time in the chequered saga of the Bullingdon, things did not go quite according to plan. Besides Gay and myself, the field contained an intrepid sportsman called Robin Higgin. As an undergraduate his sporting enthusiasm knew few bounds – but was limited by extreme short-sightedness and a pair of spectacles made of what looked like bulletproof glass. I cannot remember now whether Robin removed the specs before he started or whether they came adrift later. But the result in any case was the same – almost total blindness. The Higgin steed was not easy to control at the best of times and, having nearly missed the first fence through faulty steering, he approached the second at an angle of 45 degrees and took poor Philip amidships in mid-air. I am not sure, on reflection, that what followed was altogether in keeping with rule 151 (ii) – the one about taking “all reasonable and permissible measures throughout the race to… obtain the best possible placing.” From a field of six, two were riderless and the other four riders were taking all reasonable and permissible measures to recapture one of the loose ones. Heaven only knows what the crowd made of it, let alone the stewards – but Cecil Bonner’s judgment had been sound. His carefully selected hunter was, as he said, much the fastest horse in the field, and our strenuous efforts to apprehend him were in vain. Even by Bullingdon standards that race took an exceptionally long time to complete. By Lord Oaksey

the first word

The Era Of Frankel his is not a normal racing autumn. In a normal autumn interest in the attempt of an unbeaten colt to emulate the feat of the great Nijinsky by winning the now almost-mystical, almostanachronistic, Triple Crown would have focused the attention so fiercely that all other racing would have taken place in the shadows outside its limelight. In a normal year the subject of a Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe that featured such giants as last year’s 5l winner trying to add a second successive victory to her King George; an international star returned almost miraculously apparently even better than she was before injury, and the best Japanese champion since Deep Impact would have monopolised most racing conversations whether or not the notquite Triple Crown winner is sent out to try and redeem himself at Longchamp on October 7. In a normal racing year people would already be speculating about the Breeders’ Cup and the likely European winners at US racing’s annual hype-fest. They’d be talking about the Melbourne Cup, and wondering what the future holds for Australia’s most famous race if the European invaders score a third successive victory on the first Tuesday in November (which they probably will). Those with even longer vision might be giving thought already to the Japan Cup and Hong Kong in December and chattering about whether the magnificent Black Caviar can, or should, return to the track rather than retire to the paddocks. But this is not a normal racing autumn and it is not a normal racing year. In fact it hasn’t been a normal racing three years, for this has been the Era Of Frankel; and every other event in the sport has been relegated to the level of support act to what may be the greatest thoroughbred we or anyone else has ever seen. Just how good Frankel is or was will be a talking point long after he’s gone and, if natural selection means anything, long after his sons and daughters and their sons and daughters have finished beating up their rivals in Group 1s all around the world. Diehard traditionalists will still do their best to argue, of course. There are Americans who remain constitutionally incapable of considering

“

It is an occasion for sadness as well as celebration, but the important thing is that Frankel should get the send-off he deserves

“

Racing is about to return to normal, writes Paul Haigh

the possibility that there has ever been, or ever will be, a better horse than Secretariat. Australians revere Phar Lap as the nonpareil cruelly taken from them while still in his prime. The British and French look back on the golden decade from the early 60s that saw Sea Bird, Nijinsky, Mill Reef and Brigadier Gerard. Italians would put forward one word, Ribot. Looking back to antiquity, some will mention St Simon or Ormonde, or Eclipse himself. But really, those of us who have seen Frankel are forced into an intellectual corner. It is just impossible to remember, or even imagine a racehorse who could have beaten him – and certainly not at a mile. Frankel’s farewell in the British Champion Stakes at Ascot on October 17 is the major event of this autumn, and no doubt of many autumns to come. It is an occasion for sadness as well as celebration, but the important thing is that Frankel should get the send-off he deserves. Barring sabotage, flood, pestilence, wind or “hurricanoes” it is almost inconceivable in the light of his victory in the Juddmonte International at his first attempt over 1m2f that any rival will be able to force him to exert himself, let alone threaten him. But curious things happen. A horse called Onions once beat Secretariat. The perfectly named Upset once beat Man O’War. One of Australia’s greatest champions, Ajax, once

succumbed at odds of 1/40. After cantering to victory in the St Leger, even Nijinsky, weakened by ringworm, failed by a head to win the Arc. The only thing apart from extreme conditions, in which case it wouldn’t be surprising if he wasn’t even risked, that might perhaps stop Frankel exiting with an unblemished racing record would, one supposes, be some sort of alteration in his mind set. Even supreme champions can, presumably, get bored. So far though his enthusiasm has been as sensational as his talent, a tribute to his great trainer whose masterpiece he is. If Frankel had run in the Arc, the bookies said, he would have started at odds of around one to four. But it would hardly have been fair to have asked him to do so on what might well have been soft ground and when nearly all his preparation has been for miling speed. Without him the race becomes a serious puzzle, though one we are, of course, honour bound to try and solve. The fillies have a very strong team, not just with Danedream and Snow Fairy, but with last year’s runner-up Shareta, who seems to be improving at a ferocious rate. The answer, however, may be Orfevre. He is a much better horse than Nakayama Festa, beaten so narrowly by Workforce two years ago. This is, of course, a much better Arc. But the Japanese are clearly learning after the disastrous venture with Deep Impact that allowed their national hero to run when he wasn’t quite right and when Yutaka Take seemed unwilling to ask him to do much more than run round at his own pace. They want the Arc more than any other race, and this could be their year. But the simple fact is that whoever wins, it is inevitable that he or she will be overshadowed, and not just partially but completely. How his poor opponents must feel. A bit like Cassius perhaps when angered by the fame of Julius Caesar: “Why, man, he doth bestride the narrow world like a Colossus, and we petty men walk under his huge legs and peep about to find ourselves dishonourable graves.” A note to all other horses though however proud and talented you may be (yes, even you, Excelebration!): Assassination is NOT the answer. He’ll only be here for one more race. And then the racing world returns to normal.

Vinery Stud America on the market But hopes are high that the farm will continue under new ownership

Dr Tom Simon, owner of Vinery in America since 1999, has decided to sell his stud interests in Kentucky, Florida and New York. Dr Simon, who also was the majority owner of Vinery Australia until 2005 when he sold the majority share in the Hunter Valley stud to Australian investors, has reached the decision to sell his US breeding interests after consultation with his family. President Tom Ludt said Dr Simon had four days of discussions with his family in Kentucky. “They wanted to discuss their options,” Ludt said. “Dr Simon is not bailing on the industry, this is mainly about his children, who don’t have an interest in the horse business. It is his passion but not theirs. “This is not going to be a fire sale. It is our hope to keep everything running eventually with a new owner. We want to get the word out to anyone that might be interested in acquiring this sort of operation.

“It seems like it will take about a year, because of the due diligence necessary. “We own significant shares in almost all of the stallions that stand at Vinery and manage the syndicates. Dr Simon would be willing to stay involved – that’s how it worked out in Australia. We’re not closing, we’re not dispersing.” Simon acquired the Kentucky farm in 1999 and later expanded into Florida, New York and Australia. The flagship 440-acre Kentucky farm runs a stallion roster of seven headed by More Than Ready, the champion sire who also heads the roster at Vinery Australia. Fellow shuttler Congrats, Kodiak Kowboy, Limehouse, Pioneerof the Nile, Pure Prize and Street Hero make up Vinery’s Kentucky roster. The satellite operation in Florida stands Backtalk, Benny The Bull, Kantharos, Maimonides and Pomeroy.Vinery also leases Empire Stud and Sugar Maple Farm in New York.

Injury forces Jury into retirement New drug rules in Kentucky JUKEBOX JURY, who 12 months ago dead-heated in the Irish St Leger (G1) with Dunaden, has been retired. The Mark Johnston-trained sixyear-old, who ran in the colours of Alan Spence, suffered a hairline fracture to his near-fore in the Melbourne Cup last November. Spence’s son Mike revealed the retirement news on Twitter. “Jukebox Jury has been retired after suffering another setback,” he posted. “Horse of a lifetime.

Two G1s, Four G2s and a G3! Hopefully he can find somewhere nice at stud for his retirement.” The first Group 1 victory of Jukebox Jury’s career came in the Group 1 Preis von Europa at Cologne in 2009. Jukebox Jury, a son of Montjeu, is a half-brother to the Group and Grade 3 winner Belle Alllure. He has bred by Paul Nataf and cost €270,000 when purchased as a yearling by Johnston.

Furosemide is now the only medication permitted on race day in Kentucky with only regulatory veterinarians allowed to administer the drug. Alternative bleeder medications are no longer permitted for use within 24 hours of a race. According to a KHRC memo, furosemide (Salix or Lasix), has to be given to horses in their stalls and horses have be treated within four and four-and-a-half hours before a race. They are not allowed to be treated after time. The “default” dose for Salix is 250 milligrams. Trainers must inform the KHRC vets if a different dose should be administered; the acceptable range is 150-300 milligrams. Trainers must also have someone with the horse at least 45 minutes prior to administration. These new rules are part of an Association of Racing Commissioners International model rule that is being gradually adopted by racing jurisdictions.

A first win in the US for a Korean-bred horse History was made at Calder in Florida on September 6 when the David Braddy-trained Feel So Good became the first Koreanbred thoroughbred to win a race outside his home country.

The 7l win was witnessed by five representatives of the Korean Racing Authority (KRA), including spokesman Byung-un Ko who said the victory would be well received in Korea. “We really didn’t expect the horse to win, but as soon as he did we called the KRA to tell them,” he said. “Then we sent all the pictures and videos to South Korea to release the news to the papers and television stations. “The guys I spoke to at home

said it was huge news and that all the people were very happy for what had happened.” Racing in Korea began around 100 years ago, but its racing and breeding industry is only now evolving on an international scale. “We started racing in Korea around 1922, but we didn’t send horses overseas until a few years ago,” Ko said. “We wanted to find out how our racing had developed and wanted to see

how our horses compared to the American horses. “We set out to find the reason why our horses could not beat the American horses. We wanted to find out if it was a training problem or the horse’s problem. “Feel So Good is a Korean horse. We had him in the US since he was young and the horse learned to race here and was taught by American trainers. I think maybe we found out that the problem is not the horse.”

A superb summer of sporting success

the first of, no doubt, many volumes of her autobiography. I am assured A.A. Gill did not ghostwrite it, but we were slightly surprised at Balding’s willingness to have it serialised in the Daily Mail, a publication she banned us from buying not so long ago... I slightly feel “My Animals and Other Family” ought to have Oscar Wilde’s quote on the frontispiece: “Relations are simply a tedious pack of people, who haven’t got the remotest knowledge of how to live, nor the smallest instinct about when to die.” I think Jeanette Winterson summed her and the BBC up best when she wrote: “Miss Balding is what the BBC does best, no gimmicks, no game show personality, just top class commentary coming out of a big brain with plenty of experience and passion. She must also have learnt a lesson from Richie Benaud. “ My mantra is: “Put your brain into gear and if you can add to what is on the screen then do it, otherwise shut up”. Hopefully, Balding can carry this maxim into Channel Four racing.

hat a wonderful sporting summer it has been. Dominated by a highly successful Olympics and Paralympics, Britain has also enjoyed stellar success with Andy Murray wining the US Open, and Bradley Wiggins scoring an historic win in the Tour de France. Yorkshire won more gold medals than Australia and only the cricketers against South Africa and the footballers in the European Championships have let the side down. Sports Personality of the Year is going to be a tough contest. Clare Balding has certainly given her family something to be proud of. She has been omnipresent in the media covering Royal Ascot in the final year of BBC screening, Wimbledon for Five Live and the Olympics and Paralympics for BBC and Channel 4. Her Ramblings programme has been aired on Radio Four every week, and she coped well when appearing on the Jonathan Ross Show alongside the slightly surreal pairing of Liam Neeson and Justin Bieber. She has even had time to write

Racing & Breeding Digest questioned Camelot’s stamina, while his fellow writer Rolf Johnson belittles the horse’s form. In three of his earlier races, the fourth-placed horses have gone on to win Group or Listed races, while Power and Caspar Netscher – both well beaten in the 2,000 Guineas – have won Group 1 and 2 races. The form of the horses who finished behind Pour Moi in the 2011 Derby has not been that impressive. An analysis of the last 12 Derby winners is revealing. Seven of them – Workforce, New Approach, Authorized, High Chaparral, Galileo and Sinndar – went onto beat older horses. Four of them failed to win after the Derby or beat older horses: Sir Percy, Motivator, North Light and Kris Kin. There is no doubt which list you’d want your horse to be in. Racing in Australia has begun its new season with convincing resumptions of form from More Joyous, whose connections are targeting the Cox Plate in October, and from Pierro who is being aimed at the Caulfield Guineas after the Stutt Stakes at Moonee Valley. Pierro, bred by Darley, was one

the news Feel So Good was shipped to Calder in August of 2011 and his win came on his third career start. The gelding is now returning to Korea and will eventually be sold by the KRA. “The KRA doesn’t own any racing horses, but this case was a special exception because it was viewed as an experiment,” explained Ko. “It was already decided that the horse would go back whether or not he won or lost. We plan on selling the horse and are hopeful that the selling price will set a new record.” The Braddy barn will retain a

of about 75 culls by the farm at the weanling or yearling stage. His sire Lonrho was an outstanding racehorse, who won 25 stakes races from distances of 1,000 to 2,000 metres. Like Scenic and Commands, Lonhro has tended not to be that commercial at yearling sales but he gets horses who are better three and four-year-olds. Pierro is out of a Daylami mare, his second dam is by Sadler’s Wells, and his third dam by Shirley Heights, so stamina should not be an issue for him. He won six races as a two-year-old and looks like being an outstanding Slipper winner. Interestingly, eight of the last 21 Slipper winners failed to win another race and only one colt, Flying Spur, won a Group 1 after the Slipper. Meanwhile, European interest centres on the Melbourne Cup with a strong contingent already in quarantine. It is quite possible, in the near future, there will scarcely be an Australian-bred horse in the field. Imagine what Bart Cummings might have to say about that! Finally, Doncaster saw John Dunlop announce his retirement, but, happily, Times Up played his part in the script and took the Doncaster Cup (G2) on the same day as Dunlop’s announcement.

Champion sire Monsun dies Monsun, the leading German stallion and sire of 14 Group 1 winners, died in September. The 22-year-old had been blind for some years, but was found to have been suffering from a neurological disease. The leading performers by the son of Konigsstuhl include the 2007 world champion Manduro, the Breeders’ Cup Turf hero Shirocco, and Stacelita, the winner of six Group 1 races in France and the US. Bred by Gestüt Isarland, Monsun was trained by Heinz Jentzsch for Baron Georg von Ullmann. He was beaten by Lando in the Deutsches Derby, but went on to win three Group 1 races over 1m4f, twice winning the Europa Preis, as well as the Aral Pokal, his first victory at the highest level. He retired to stand at von Ullman’s Gestüt Schlenderhan, initially at a fee of DM10,000. After early and then continued success, his fee started to rise and his last advertised fee was €150,000 in 2008. His fee had since been listed as private. He has a number of young sons at stud, headed by Shirocco, sire of Wild Coco, winner of the Park Hill Stakes (G2) and Manduro, the sire of this year’s Dante Stakes winner Bonfire and last year’s Group 1 winner Mandaean. Monsun is also beginning to make a name for himself as a broodmare sire with the Ascot Gold Cup winner Colour Vision, this year’s leading German three-year-old colt Pastorius and the former German horse of the year Night Magic the three Group 1 winners out of his daughters.

Theatrical put down at Hill ‘n’ Dale

Retirement: John Dunlop

With 74 Group 1 winners, including two Derby winners, Dunlop has been an outstanding international competitor. With the grace and charm of a David Gower or Tim Henman, he will be sorely missed in the training ranks. He was also a great livestock shower and had an excellent Shorthorn herd. In 1988, the journalist Simon Barnes wrote a very entertaining account of a year spent in Dunlop’s yard entitled “Horsesweat and Tears”. It might be an apt time to revisit the publication and would provide a good autumn double read with Clare’s book.

THEATRICAL was put down at the beginning of September at Hill ‘n’ Dale Farm in Kentucky. The son of Nureyev had finished second in the 1985 Irish Derby when trained in Ireland by Dermot Weld, but it was after he transferred to race in the US that he really shone on the racecourse. Trained then by Bill Mott, he won six Grade 1 races for the ownerbreeders Bert and Diana Firestone and Allen Paulson, victories which included the 1987 Breeders’ Cup Turf. Theatrical retired to stand at Paulson’s Brookside Farm in Kentucky in 1988, but was transferred to Hill ‘n’ Dale Farm in 2001, and remained in active duty until 2009. His covering fee hit a high of $100,000 in 2002. From 22 crops of racing age, Theatrical has sired 84 stakes winners, of which 22 won at Group or Grade 1 level. He enjoyed much success in Europe, his best runners including Zagreb, who won the 1996 Irish Derby, the Irish-trained Melbourne Cup hero Media Puzzle and the Secretariat Stakes winner Winchester. Other notable European performers by the stallion include Royal Anthem, who won the International for Sir Henry Cecil. Theatrical’s best US-trained runners include Geri, Shakespeare, Astra and Startac, while he was also the sire of a Japanese champion in Hishi Amazon. Theatrical’s best son at stud has been Marchand De Sable, whose progeny includes Marchard D’Or, while the black-type winners English Channel, Rail Link and Lord Shanakill are all out of daughters of the stallion.

Byword to South Africa US duo retired after injury BYWORD, a six-year-old son of Peintre Célèbre and winner of the 2010 Prince of Wales’s Stakes at Royal Ascot, is to stand in South Africa at Middlefield Stud. The deal was brokered by Grant PritchardGordon of Badgers Bloodstock. Bred by Juddmonte Farm, Byword ran 16 times and won seven races, five of which were Group races. He beat Twice Over when winning the Royal Ascot race as a fouryear-old, and the following year claimed Cirrus Des Aigles’s scalp in the Group 2 Prix Dollar. One of best performances perhaps came in defeat when he was third behind Rip Van Winkle and Twice Over in the International. Out of the 2010 Broodmare of the Year Binche (Woodman), Byword is a half-brother to Grade 1 winner Proviso and from the further family of Group 1 scorers Zambezi Sun, Midships and Continent. Middlefield Stud is currently home to three stallions, including Spanish Harlem (Danehill), a Group 3-placed son of the 1,000 Guineas heroine Sleepytime.

Breeders’ Cup Juvenile winner Hansen, last year’s champion two-year-old, has been retired owing to the tendon injury that forced him to miss the Travers Stakes, while Get Stormy, three times a Grade 1 winner on turf for trainer Tom Bush, has also been retired following a setback after his most recent outing in which he could only finish third. “Hansen proved he was precocious, which is a good thing in breeding, and had miler speed,” sais owner Dr. Hansen. “He also was a champion, so there’s nothing more to prove. It would have been nice to try to win another Breeders’ Cup, but Mother Nature is telling us to pass his genes on.” As yet, stud plans are undecided for the son of Tapit. No deals have yet been out on place either for Get Stormy, a son of Stormy Atlantic. “He is fine physically, although he had a little setback following the Fourstardave,” said trainer Tom Bush to the bloodhorse. “Since he only had one more race on his schedule, we decided we needed to go ahead and start looking for a stud home for him.” brand of Clearsky Farms, a name which alone managed to confuse many local Kentucky hard boots with pronunciations of Clearsky as the Russian version of Clearski! We had planned the sale of the Sea The Stars ex Ice Mint colt meticulously from his purchase at the Tattersall’s December Foal Sale to his arrival in Lexington in time for the Bluegrass flush in early March and Keeneland’s inspections. Clearsky is based on the old Kap Hirshy Farm/ Newgate Stud on Russell Cave so I know it well from the days of Prince Fahd Salman, and the good yearlings that we then sold from the property. It has a prolific reputation as a producer of stakes winners. The consignment had horses for both Europe and US interests, and it sold particularly well through the first book. Of course, the Sea The Stars colt was popular and, in fact, the most popular of all due to an almost “novelty factor”. Eventually, after 12 vettings he was bought for Japan. Three groups for Japanese clients bid on him as well as David Redvers and the colt sold for $675,000. It will be interesting to see if the 30 due to go through the ring at Tattersalls receive the same level of interest from Japan. Henry Beeby was on hand at Keeneland to convince the largest representation of Japanese clients

that the September Sale has ever attracted to attend the Orby Sale. He jetted off to Doncaster to auction at the St Leger Sale. Many European buying teams seemed to return from the US empty handed, which is always a good sign as it means that orders are stil open for the European season. Charlie Gordon-Watson and John Warren were both absent from the US, which is also a positive for our home sales. John Gosden, Hugo Merry on behalf of the New Yorkbased clients that he has been so successful for, as well as many of the two-year-old pinhookers, were all active in the US. Many vetted our yearlings to find that the domestic market is strong for the right horses. The RNA rate was disappointing at the half-way mark running around 70 per cent, but the ones that sold, sold well and were bought by an array of US investors. I have always said it is harder to get the yearlings to consign to sell in US, but easier to sell them. Now it’s both hard to get yearlings in England due to the increased competition from other consignors and still hard to sell them. The US weanling market was so strong last year that many yearling pin-hookers struggled to find profit in what was a healthy and largely the similar sort of market as last year.

Second The dream of a first Triple Crown winner in 42 years came to an end with Camelot’s three-quarter length defeat in the St Leger

o, even a horse called Camelot could not grasp the elusive holy grail. That he would become the first Triple Crown winner for 42 years had seemed so neat, so meet, writes Sue Montgomery. There was his name, one kept in reserve by the Coolmore partners until they felt they had a colt worthy of it. And the fact that he was, like Nijinsky, the last to achieve the feat, trained at Coolmore in County Tipperary, and by a man named O’Brien. And there was another strand to the piece, too. A Triple Crown for the horse would have brought a single, unique laurel for his trainer. No one had previously saddled the winners of all five British Classics in the same year, and Aidan O’Brien already had four in the bag. There was Camelot’s 2,000 Guineas and Derby, of course, but also Homecoming Queen’s 1,000 Guineas and Was’s Oaks. Neither of the fillies subsequently proved best in their divisions, but each had got lucky on the day when it mattered. It is history now, though, that there was to be no legend. And the stars were shifted from their potential glorious alignment by a horse named after a comet. The 236th running of the St Leger was afterwards and will be in the future analysed to the nth degree, but all the what-ifs and should-he-haves in the world will not change the result in the formbook.

www.internationalthoroughbred.net

Instead of becoming the 16th Triple Crown hero, Camelot became the tenth 2,000 Guineas and Derby winner to come up short in the final, most demanding, of the three Classics. The 2-5 favourite, with his trainer’s son Joseph in the saddle, failed by three-quarters of a length to reel in the 25-1 shot Encke, ridden by Mickael Barzalona and trained by Mahmood Al Zarooni for Godolphin. And the result stunned the winner’s connections as much as the capacity crowd, who had turned up on Town Moor to witness history. “We thought we had a solid place chance, but realistically no more than that,” said the Godolphin racing manager Simon Crisford, “but our man saw his chance and he took it. It might not have been the most popular win, but from our point of view it’s fantastic. We’re happy to be party poopers.” Crisford’s immediate assessment of the way the race was won was as sound as any. There were multi-factorial reasons why each horse was in the position he was at any given point in the contest, but in the seminal strides it was an inspired reading of the situation from Barzalona, rather than poor judgement from O’Brien Jr, that grabbed the victory. Two furlongs from home Camelot was galloping easily, but on the far rail with rivals in front of him. Barzalona saw, and acted, winding Encke up and sweeping past Camelot

and O’Brien senior’s mea culpa concerned his omission on this occasion. “I should have run a pacemaker,” he said, “or even two. I just didn’t think they’d go that steady. Off a faster pace from the start Camelot would have settled better and if he’d settled better he would have quickened better.” Camelot was only the third colt eligible for Triple Crown immortality since Nijinsky. Neither Nashwan in 1989 nor Sea The Stars in 2009 ran in the St Leger and only two other Derby winners did so in the same period, with Shergar fourth in 1981 and

“

in the clear with the wind in his sails. When O’Brien asked Camelot for his effort in pursuit, the colt hung fire for a stride, his momentary awkward tilt to head and tail perhaps an indication that the last time he was asked to quicken, in desperate conditions in the Irish Derby in June, he found it difficult, even uncomfortable. By the time he realised that this time all was well underfoot and allowed himself to lower and lengthen and engage his fluid, groundsweeping stride, the blues’ bird had flown. He was neither outclassed nor outstayed by Encke, but outmanoeuvred. Typically, O’Brien senior shifted focus from his distraught teenage son (who at 19, would have been the youngest St Leger-winning rider since 16-year-old Frank Wootton on Swynford in 1910) by shouldering the blame. The gallop provided early in the marathon contest, over an extended mile and threequarters, by Dartford – pacemaker for his John Gosden stablemates Thought Worthy and ultimate third Michelangelo – was no more than ordinary, a building pace rather than the end-to-end charge that had been expected. And although Camelot was by no means headstrong, O’Brien Jr reported that, bustled in the bunch at the back, he was perhaps travelling half a gear more strongly than ideal. It is a rare Group 1 race in which Ballydoyle has a prime candidate run without multiple representation from the stable – in the Derby, for instance, Astrology did duty up front –

Reference Point victorious in 1987. Although the result on the day was something of an anti-climax, the fact that Camelot came so close must be regarded as a positive for the oldest, longest and toughest Classic. John Magnier and the Coolmore partners, whom Camelot represents, deserve every credit not only for taking up the challenge with their hitherto-unbeaten colt, but also for championing staying power and versatility as commercial assets in the bloodstock market. The world’s best stallion, Galileo, is a solid influence for stamina as well as class, as was Camelot’s late sire Montjeu. Whether or not the latter’s latest celebrity son appears again on the track remains to be seen but his St Leger defeat probably increases the likelihood. During the season, and particularly in the run-up to the St Leger, Camelot was imbued with almost mystical excellence by his

connections. To remove any hint of hubris, it would be good for his talents to be properly examined further in public. Although he can be measured as the best colt of what is otherwise a mediocre generation, he has yet to meet any older rival, let alone one of the towering calibre of Frankel. It is no secret, though, that the box at Coolmore once occupied by Montjeu is waiting for him. Encke, though, is definitely one for next year, when he will drop back to middledistances. The beautifully-bred son of Kingmambo, whose prep had been a third to Thought Worthy in an even more slowly-run Great Voltigeur Stakes, showed a smart turn of foot to up the pace when he did. His connections gave themselves options in second-guessing the race tactics. “We were concerned that it might be slowed up to let Thought Worthy show the good turn of foot he had at York,” said Crisford, “so we drummed it into Mickael to watch the pacemaker like a hawk. Which he did brilliantly.”

ncke, whose eponymous comet was in turn named after the 19thcentury German astronomer who plotted its orbit, was the sixth St Leger winner for Godolphin (after Classic Cliche, Nedawi, Mutafaweq, Rule Of Law and Mastery), making Sheikh Mohammed’s elite team the winning-most owner of the modern era in the Classic first run in 1776. Only the 9th Duke of Hamilton, with seven wins between 1786-1814, has won more. The 17th Earl of Derby, between 1910 and 1943, and the third Aga Khan, between 1924 and 1952, also have six wins. The homebred Encke was Godolphin’s tenth Group or Grade 1 winner of the year in four countries. The 11th came three hours later at The Curragh, when recent recruit Dawn Approach, trained by Jim Bolger, took Ireland’s top juvenile contest, the National Stakes. The St Leger was Encke’s first try over further than 1m4f, but there were grounds for optimism that he would cope, with the correct shake of the genetic cocktail. The distaff side of his pedigree is replete with stamina: his dam Shawanda is by Sinndar, his second dam Shamawna by Darshaan, and his third dam Shamsana by Nijinsky. As the names imply, this is one of the Aga Khan’s families. Sheikh Mohammed bought Shawanda privately as a three-year-old after she had won the Group 1 Irish Oaks, the

uk racing Group 1 Prix Vermeille and finished sixth in Hurricane Run’s Group 1 Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe. She did not make the track at four, but has made an excellent start to her second career. Encke is her second foal; the first was his brother Genius Beast, who won the Sandown Classic Trial but was a non-staying second-last in his St Leger last year. In the pipeline there is an as yet unraced two-yearold filly, Country Music, and a yearling colt by Monsun. Shamawna’s best effort was a Group 3 placing; Shamsana did not race, but was a half-sister to 1983 Prix Vermeille winner Sharaya. And on Sunday at Longchamp, Shareta completed a splendid weekend for the dynasty by adding a third Prix Vermeille, France’s top 1m2f filly and mare contest, to its roll of honour.

Simply not good enough; had been lucky to beat Pero Gomez in the Derby. 1882 Shotover 100/15, third to Dutch Oven (40/1) and Geheimniss (8/11), beaten 5l. The only filly to try; beaten by two better of her sex in a year when, uniquely, they won all five Classics. 1888 Ayrshire 2/1 favourite, unplaced behind Seabreeze (5/2). Barely fit after setbacks and failed to stay anyway behind the Oaks winner. 1894 Ladas 1/4 favourite, second to Throstle (50/1), beaten 3/4 length. Clear a furlong out but could not rally to the late thrust of the part-blind winning filly. 1904 St Amant 4-1, 6th and last behind Pretty Polly (2/5f). Below par, but would have been outclassed anyway by the outstanding winner, the all-time champion of her sex. 1909 Minoru 7/4, 4th to Bayardo (10/11f). Failed to stay behind one of the Turf’s true greats, who developed late. 1925 Manna 7/2 joint favourite, 10th behind Solario (7/2 jf). Broke down in running, but the winner was another top-class late developer. 1931 Cameronian 5/6 favourite, 10th and last behind Sandwich (9/1). Gave every impression of having been doped to lose, but nothing was ever proven. 2012 Camelot 2/5 favourite, second to Encke (25/1), beaten three-quarters of a length. Arguably a victim of circumstance and the running of the race.

in August, is out of Shawanda’s Barathea half-sister Shawara and still carries the Aga’s green colours. Although Kingmambo was a top-class miler and never raced beyond that distance, he has been much more than merely a speed influence at stud. Yes, he has been responsible for a string of classy milers such as King’s Best, Dubai Destination, Henrythenavigator, Russian Rhythm and Divine Proportions, and a top-level winning sprinter in Malhub. But his best performer has been Japanese middle-distance champion El Condor Pasa, who won the Grand Prix de Saint-Cloud (G1), Prix Foy (G1) and beat all bar Montjeu in the Arc in his European campaign in 1999, and he also has an Oaks heroine, Light Shift, and a Belmont Stakes winner, Lemon Drop Kid, to his credit. And now two St Leger winners. Encke was his second after his fellow colourbearer Rule Of Law in 2004. Kingmambo, by top US sire Mr. Prospector, was bred by his owner Stavros Niarchos from his outstanding mare Miesque and became a world-renowned stallion at Lane’s End in Kentucky, standing at $300,000 at the height of his career. He was pensioned from stud duties two years ago. The Park Hill Stakes has been popularly referred to as the fillies’ St Leger, an epithet now wrong on two counts given that fillies are eligible for the Classic and the Group 2 race has been open to older horses since 1990.

As did Toronado, who took his unbeaten run to three as he upset the odds on the Abdullah candidate in the Champagne Stakes (G2). The winner, by Coolmore-based High

Chaparral out of a half-sister to Casamento, strengthened a fine juvenile hand for Richard Hannon; whose stable’s emerging talent also includes Sir Prancealot, who took the Flying Childers Stakes (G2), and the filly Sky Lantern, heroine of the Moyglare Stud Stakes (G1) at The Curragh earlier in the month, their promise backed up by such as Maureen, Havana Gold and Olympic Glory. One of Sky Lantern’s earlier defeats was

when she chased home Certify, a stablemate of Encke, in the Sweet Solera Stakes at Newmarket. That daughter of Jonabell resident Elusive Quality duly justified odds-on favouritism in the May Hill Stakes (G2), but had to call on her battling qualities to see off Purr Along by a head, the pair 8l clear of the rest. Certify, a half-sister to Grade 1 winner Cry

And Catch Me, is Group 1 bound for either the Fillies’ Mile or the Prix Marcel Boussac. Jeremy Noseda’s charge The Gold Cheongsam, winner of the Weatherbys Insurance £300,000 Stakes, has the Cheveley Park Stakes (G1) as her target and is, like Sky Lantern, one to emphasise the loss that short-lived Red Clubs may have been to the industry.

Even if Camelot could not fulfil his implicit eponymous destiny, at least one horse on Town Moor did. The day after John Dunlop announced his retirement at the end of the the season, the best horse currently in his care provided, if needed, a reminder of his trainer’s longstanding skill by winning the Doncaster Cup. His name? Times Up. The long-distance division has this season been a muddled one, with no outstanding exponent. The Gold Cup winner Colour Vision and Saddler’s Rock, who turned the tables on his Ascot conqueror at Goodwood, looked the most likely to assume the mantle but both were well behind at Doncaster. Times Up was previously winner of another Group 2 contest, the 2m Lonsdale Cup at York. At Doncaster, Eddie Ahern proved tactically aware in a slowly run contest, waiting until inside the final quarter-mile to produce his mount’s turn of foot. High Jinx, two and a quarter lengths runner-up at York, got to within a neck this time. The Prix du Cadran (G1), which was won ten years ago by his Warning halfbrother Give Notice, is the likely next target for Times Up, owned and bred by the Stewart-Brown family. The six-yearold is the first Group winner for his sire Olden Times, trained by Dunlop to win a 1m1f Prix Jean Prat. The Darshaan horse is now based at Clohamon Stud in County Wexford. Times Up’s dam Princess Genista has bred 12 winners of whom Give Notice and Times Up are the best and the Elmaamul gelding Heir To Be, successful twice on the Flat and ten times over hurdles, the most prolific. Princess Genista, by Ile De Bourbon, was herself placed in a Lonsdale Stakes and has eight winning siblings. Tribute to Dunlop’s training career in November’s edition

Who can beat her in the

Arc? Jocelyn de Moubray can’t see any of the trial winners threatening Danedream from making it a record-breaking second win in the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe

Danedream and jockey Andreas Starke win the Grosser Preis von Baden for a second year in succession

www.internationalthoroughbred.net

his was not after all the year of the next Triple Crown winner, but 2012 could still see a racing exploit of the rarest kind, in addition, that is, to Frankel’s wins. Since the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe became a major international race after WWII, only three colts have succeeded in winning twice: Tantieme in 1950 and 1951, Ribot in 1955 and 1956 and then Alleged in 1977 and 1978. Since Alleged’s last victory many Arc winners have tried to repeat their victory a year later and Sagace managed to do so in 1985, only to be disqualified in favour of Rainbow Quest. Sagace aside none have come

t was not a brilliant performance by Danedream when she won her second Grosser Preis von Baden and she never appeared to be travelling particularly well, but she never looked like getting beaten either. Andreas Starke took her into second place from the stalls and took over in front at the top of the home straight. The three-year-old Pastorius looked briefly dangerous when coming alongside Ovambo Queen with 2f to run, but he tired to finish third, a length behind Danedream. Peter Schiergen, her Cologne-based trainer, has said that she is working as well as she was a year ago, and he has also said that at home she has never done more than is strictly necessary. When something special is required, as it was at Ascot to make up several lengths on Nathaniel, Danedream responds. It must be very likely that she will do so again on October 7. It is hard to see any of those who ran in the Arc trials with a better chance than she does on the big day itself. The Japanese champion Orfevre is a small, strongly made colt, and though he doesn’t have the same white markings on his face, he

does look similar to Northern Taste to whom he is closely inbred. The Prix Foy (G2) was run at a steady pace, and when the field did quicken Orfevre was able to do so faster than either Meandre or Joshua Tree, but he did not quicken right away from these rivals and he will have to improve on this showing to become the first Japanese-trained Arc winner. The Prix du Jockey-Club (G1) winner Saonois quickened brilliantly to come between horses and win a slowly run Prix Niel. The son of Chichicastenango is far and away the best of the French-trained three-year-old colts, but it is hard to see that this will be enough to enable him to challenge the best of the older horses. Saonois does have a real turn of foot, appears to enjoy racing through narrow gaps and his young jockey Antoine Hamelin is utterly fearless and has the confidence only the very best young jockeys can aspire to.

Two G1s in three weeks for Shareta

The Group 1 Prix Vermeille, run the same day as the Arc trials, is a target in its own right and was won in decisive fashion by the Aga Khan’s Shareta (Sinndar), who was winning

closer than the third place the filly All Along achieved in 1984 after her triumph a year earlier. . This year the Gestüt Berg Eberstein and Teruya Yoshida-owned Danedream must have a favourite’s chance of completing the double. Danedream’s performances this year have not been as spectacular as they were last year – she has not won her Group 1 races by wide margins – but the daughter of Lomitas has continued to win and to do what is necessary to enhance her reputation. Since Danedream was stepped up in trip last May her record is, if you look closely, more or less faultless. Last year she won her races by 6l, 5l, 6l and then the Arc itself by 5l from Shareta and Snow Fairy, neither of whom have let the form down since. This year, Danedream has, when things have gone her way, done just enough to win. Her only defeats in the last 16 months have come in Japan (and it appears to be very difficult indeed to overcome the quarantine restrictions for the Japan Cup these days) and then she was twice well beaten in races in France when there had been no early pace. To be at her best all Danedream needs is 1m4f and a fast pace; once she gets this she has proved to be more or less unbeatable and appears the same on all ground.

her second Group 1 only three weeks after her victory in the Yorkshire Oaks. Shareta is the best of her sire’s winners since he moved to France in 2006, but overall his record is impressive, particularly for a stallion whose fee has gone from €20,000 when he started at the Haras de Bonneval to only €7,500 in 2012.

Son of Anabaa showing juvenile promise

September is still early in the year for two-year-olds on the continent and the majority of France’s stakes races for juveniles have been won by challengers from England. A colt who looks up to competing with the best is the Nicholas Clement-trained Style

Moonlight Cloud would probably be perfectly suited to the mile at Santa Ainta in the Breeders’ Cup

Mikel Delzangles: trains What A Name

Vendome. By Anabaa and out of the good sprinter Place Vendome, Style Vendome broke his maiden over 5f100yds, but then stepped up to 7f to win a Listed in Deauville after Havana Gold’s saddle slipped and leaving Clement’s colt in the lead. There are several fillies who have made a mark headed by the Group winners What A Name and Peace Burg. What A Name is a daughter of Mr Greeley and is trained by Mikel Delzangles for Sheikh Mohammed Al Thani. She followed up her impressive 7l victory in Deauville with an easy win the Prix de Chenes (G3) over 7f at Longchamp. What A Name is out of a Dayjur mare and is a half-sister to the top sprinter Diabolical and so it is not surprising she has so much speed. Peace Burg is unbeaten in three starts and showed real class to come from an impossible position to win the Group 3 Prix d’Aumale at Chantilly. Peace Burg is a daughter of Sageburg and out of a Sadler’s Wells

“

His first three French-sired crops produced only a total of 150 foals and include Shareta, a dual Group 1 winner who was second in the Arc last year, Rosanara, a Group 1 winner at two, and then this year’s useful three-yearold colt Model Pupil and the Group-winning fillies Gertrude Bell and Valasyra. Sinndar does not tend to produce precocious horses, but his progeny are not out-and-out stayers either. Shareta certainly has a great deal of speed as does Fairly Fair, winner of the Listed Prix Finlande over 1m1f, while Kastillo, a two-year-old colt, won a big sales race in Dortmond over 7f at the beginning of September. Shareta’s victory from fellow four-yearolds Pirika and Solemia also underlined the inferiority of this year’s three-year-old fillies. The best of them was almost certainly the Azamour filly Valyra, who was killed in a freak accident on the beach in Deauville. The Monsun filly Yellow And Green, the winner of the Prix de Malleret (G2) in June, came from an impossible position to finish fourth in the Vermeille. If she is ever allowed to race near the pace the Nicolas Clementtrained filly could prove to be the best of the staying three-year-old fillies in France. The other Group 1 at Longchamp in September was the mile Prix du Moulin, which attracted only four runners but (with the exception of Frankel) Moonlight Cloud and Farhh are, together with Excelebration, the best in Europe over the distance. In what turned into a match between the two, Moonlight Cloud quickened alongside Farhh who fought all the way to the line to be beaten only a head. The Freddy Head-trained is the best of Invincible Sprit’s progeny to date. George Strawbridge’s filly has never shown her best form in England, but in France she has won eight of her 11 starts and was unlucky when only fourth in the Prix Jacques Le Marois. She doesn’t have the early speed necessary to win the best sprints in England and yet a mile is probably too far for her on a straight track. Moonlight Cloud would probably be perfectly suited to the mile at Santa Ainta in the Breeders’ Cup.

half-sister to Pistolet Bleu. She is trained by Jacques Heloury for Jean Pierre Dubois and Eucrie D Primes. Sageburg is a first-season sire showing plenty of promise as he is also sire of the Group-placed winner Sage Melody. He was trained first by Andre Fabré and then Alain de Royer-Dupre for the Aga Khan, winning the Group 1 Prix d’Ispahan easily from Darjina. He is a son of Johannesburg and a sister to the Arc winner Sagamix. Other fillies who have looked very good are the easy Craon Listed winner Alterite, a daughter of another French first-season sire in Literato, and Silasol and Topaze Blanche, who are both trained by Carlos Laffon Parias. The form of Carlos Laffon Parias’s stable has been one of the features of the 2012 French season. At the time of writing Laffon Parias was fourth in the trainers’ table by number of wins behind Fabré , Rouget and Henri Alex Pantall with 58 victories from only 79 different runners. Silasol, a Monsun filly owned by the Wertheimers, was a good winner at Longchamp on her second start, while the Zamindar filly Topaze Blanche, won at Chantilly and Saint-Cloud for owner Leonidas Marinopoulos.

Son of Anabaa showing juvenile promise

German-trained juveniles tend to be even less precocious than those in France, but one who has made a mark is Daktani, a son of Kallisto trained by Markus Klug for Gestüt Röttgen. Klug’s success has been a feature of the German season and, in only his second year training at Röttgen, is lying sixth in the trainers’ table by wins with more than 20 per cent winners to runs. Daktani is a half-brother to the multiple stakes winner Diatribe from the family of Animal Kingdom and is unbeaten in two starts. In September, Daktani gave 4lb to his rivals and won a Listed race over a mile in Düsseldorf, despite being carried right across the track by the runner-up.

Positive trends F

Things were definitely looking up at the yearling sales, writes John Sparkman Photography by Z / Keeneland

rom the start of the Saratoga meeting in late July through to the end of the Keeneland November sale, life is a whirlwind for the racing and breeding professional in the US. If it’s not the sales and racing in the cool and misty Adirondacks, one is flying off to Ocala for the yearling sale in the Florida heat and humidity. Then it’s back to Lexington for the world’s largest yearling sale at Keeneland, followed a few weeks later by Keeneland’s three-week, top-class race meeting.

Keeneland September’s top lot: a Distorted Humor colt bought by Shadwell for $1,650,000

www.internationalthoroughbred.net

The Breeders’ Cup (at Santa Anita in California this year) and the Keeneland November Sale effectively end the racing and sales year — unless, of course, one is lucky (?) enough to depart soon after for the gloaming of Tattersalls December. Things are definitely looking up for the sales arm of the industry. Following the essentially level performance of the Fasig-Tipton Saratoga Sale (despite the marked restraint shown by Sheikh Mohammed and his representatives), the Ocala August Yearling Sale rose by about

25 per cent in healthy trading at the lower echelons of the marketplace. Keeneland’s September Sale, ongoing as this is written, not finish up by 25 per cent, but it will be up. Keeneland tweaked the format of the sale again this year, cutting a day from both Book 1 and Book 2, so comparisons are a bit difficult, but even with fewer horses sold per book, totals and averages are ahead of last year’s figures. Sheikh Mohammed’s brother Sheikh Hamdan’s Shadwell Estate Co. paid the highest price of the sale, $1,650,000 for

us racing an attractive Distorted Humor colt out of Spinster Stakes (G1) winner Mushka (Empire Maker). Mushka herself topped the Saratoga sale a few years ago at $1.3 million. In the absence of Sheikh Mohammed, Sheikh Hamdan has become the leading buyer at Keeneland September, a position he is likely to hold again this year. Demi O’Byrne signed the ticket for the second highest-priced horse, paying $1,550,000 for a Bernardini colt, a halfbrother to Grade 1 winner Stormello and Del Mar Derby (G2) winner My Best Brother. It is the second year in a row that Coolmore has bought an expensive colt by Darley’s star young stallion. Last year’s $875,000 colt has not yet been named, much less run. Those were the two most expensive of the seven seven-figure yearlings, one more than in 2011 at the same stage. At the rate our best three-year-olds are falling by the wayside, US racing is certainly in need of some of those expensive colts developing into racing stars. Both of our current Classic winners, I’ll Have Another and Union Rags, are already at their respective stud farms preparing for the next breeding season, as is Bodemeister, the horse who perhaps made the biggest impression on breeders with his dazzling displays of speed on the lead in the first two legs of the Triple Crown.

consolation prize with the big guns of the crop all in their stalls recovering from illness or injury. One late-developing three-year-old with promise of better things, though, is Bourbon Courage, a colt by the prematurely exported Lion Heart, who won for the third time in six starts in the Super Derby (G2). From the great family that descendes from champion Chris Evert and includes Chief’s Crown, Sightseek, Tate’s Creek and Etoile Montante,

hen came the disastrous news that Paynter, who ran a gallant second to Union Rags in the Belmont Stakes (G1), had developed colitis not long after his dominant victory in the Haskell Invitational Stakes (G1). After a long siege while his life hung in balance, Paynter now appears to be recovering, and there is even talk of him racing again next year, despite reports that he developed laminitis during his illness. Finally, last year’s juvenile champion Hansen, who did not appear to grow much between seasons, was retired just days before he would have started favourite for the Travers Stakes (G1), the one big prize left for sophomores. That left favoritism to Darley’s Alpha, by Bernardini, and he barely got up on the line to force a dead-heat with the unconsidered Golden Ticket (Speightstown). The $1 million race, however, had a distinct feeling of a Sheikh Hamdan: Shadwell was the third-leading buyer by aggregate

Wigmore Hall and Barefoot Lady collect in Canada The Woodbine September meeting provided a profitable excursion for the European raiders, although the trophy for the Grade 1 Woodbine Mile stayed at home. The admirable Michael Bell-trained Wigmore Hall, by High Chaparral, won the Grade 1 Northern Dancer Turf Stakes for the second year in succession – the fast ground at the turf course clearly suits as the gelding’s last win had come in the same race in 2011. It is the third year in succession that a runner by the Coolmore sire has won the race – in 2010 it went to the Barry Hills-trained Redwood. The pair are now the third-best leading earners by High Chaparral behind So You Think and the southern-hemisphere-based Shoot Out. High Chaparral is certainly looking value for his €25,000, even more now that his Richard Hannon-trained Toronado confirmed his early promise with his Champagne Stakes (G2) win. Barefoot Lady, by another Coolmore sire in Footstepsinthesand, has been such a consistent runner and has only finished out of the first four three times in her 19-race career. She took the Canadian Stakes (G2) for fillies and mares, so registering her first Group 2 success. It has been a good month for Footsteps whose Chachamaidee gave him his first Group 1 winner when taking the Matron Stakes in the stewards’ room. The Woodbine European dominance came to an end in the Grade 1 Woodbine Mile Stakes in which Cityscape was beaten into third by Wise Dan, a son of Wiseman’s Ferry. The stallion, a son of Hennessy, stands at Dana Point Farm in Pennsylvania and since 2010 has been available at just $3,500. Wise Dan, easily the best so far from small crops by the sire, is a highly adapatable performer with a Grade 1 to his name on Dirt, a Grade 3 victory on Polytrack as well as a win on Tapeta at Presque Isle Downs. The Breeders’ Cup “Win and You’re In” Natalma Stakes (G2) went to Spring Venture, a daughter of first-season Winstar Farm stallion Spring At Last, who amazingly also got the second, Spring In The Air. Spring Venture was sold at June’s OBS Horses of Racing Age sale for $320,000, the second-highest price of the sale. Editor

us racing he has enough pedigree and form to make one think there is a Grade 1 in his future. Sheikh Mohammed’s British-foaled filly Questing claimed leadership of the threeyear-old filly division with an easy victory in the Alabama Stakes (G1). By hot young Darley stallion Hard Spun, she is out of the French Listed winner Chercheuse (Seeking The Gold) who is from the outstanding filly tracing to Alabama winner Natashka. Questing might prove a real challenge for last year’s champion Royal Delta in the Breeders’ Cup Ladies Classic (G1) if the Empire Maker filly does not run better than she did in the Personal Ensign Handicap (G1). Royal Delta has appeared perhaps to be of two minds about the game on more than one occasion, and she took a long time to make a sincere effort to catch pacesetter Love And Pride, falling a half-length short. Saratoga is always the place where we get our first solid idea of which our best two-year-olds might be, and the two premier events, the Hopeful and the Spinaway Stakes produced surprise results. There

It was all too much at Keeneland for some

was no strong favourite for the Hopeful, but Shanghai Bobby, by Harlan’s Holiday, ran as if he should have been at short odds, skating away late to win comfortably from Darley’s Distorted Humor colt Fortify. On the other hand, the fast Tapit filly Teen Pauline was expected to maintain

her unbeaten record in the fillies’ race, but she squandered her speed early and had no answer when So Many Ways challenged in the stretch. From the first crop of the promising Pulpit stallion Sightseeing, So Many Ways is from the same family as Half A Year (Riverman), who won the St. James’s Palace back in 1987. Del Mar is California’s counterpoint to Saratoga, and trainer Bob Baffert once again dominated the Del Mar Futurity (G1), winning it for the eighth time, this year with Rolling Fog, by Posse (Silver Deputy). The favourite, Know More, another good one by Lion Heart, rallied late to be second after traffic problems, and may be more difficult to beat next time. Baffert also won the Del Mar Debutante (G1) with Executiveprivilege, a First Samurai filly who just got up on the wire to edge Beholder (Henny Hughes). Baffert’s clients paid $650,000, an enormous price for a First Samurai, for her at the Ocala April juvenile sale last spring, and she is now unbeaten in four starts.

Quick off the blocks

Alan Porter reviews the state of play on the US freshman and the European first-season sires’ list and finds Coolmore stallion Henrythenavigator challenging for top honours in both continents, New Approach with a Group 1 winner and Tamayuz gathering stakes winners around the world

he days surrounding the Labor Day Holiday in the US brought a flurry of high-level two-year-old racing. The Del Mar Debutante Stakes (G1) stakes fell to Executiveprivilege, who is from the third crop of First Samurai. A son of Giant’s Causeway, he was a brilliant juvenile and although he has started a little slowly at stud, he is enjoying something of a resurgence this year. The colt’s race went to Rolling Fog, a son of former leading freshman sire Posse (Silver Deputy), who began his career in Kentucky, but is now based in New York. The filly’s dam Fog Dance, an Unbridled’s Song half-sister to the dam of Horse of the Year Saint Liam, was sold in-foal to Posse for just $7,000 for export to Panama, but produced Rolling Fog before leaving the country. At Saratoga, the Hopeful Stakes (G2), which has rather controversially been downgraded from it’s former Grade 1 status, was won by Shanghai Bobby, who scored by three and three-quarter lengths to maintain his undefeated record, having earlier taken a maiden and the Track Barron Stakes. Shangai Bobby is by Harlan’s Holiday (by the Storm Cat horse, Harlan), a horse who made a good start with his early crops, and is now reaping the reward from the better mares that the success brought him. We can note that he already has four juvenile stakes winners this year, including My Special J’s, successful in the Keeneland Debutante Stakes (G2) in Ireland.

first-season sire profile

Street Boss: one for Europe too

Street Boss, a son of Street Cry from from a good German/French family, didn’t run at two, but hit his peak at four when he turned into a sprint star on the All-Weather capturing a trio of stakes, headed by the Bing Crosby Handicap. He has already had ten individual winners, including the stakes winner Bosco (dam by Pulpit) and French stakes-placed horse Sheistheboss (dam by Alzao). There are plenty of turf performers in this pedigree, and Street Boss already has several winners on grass: he may be a horse for Europeans to keep an eye on. On the other hand, Europeans will probably not be terribly familiar with fifthplaced freshman Run Away And Hide. He is son of City Zip, who was a very good two-

It’s very encouraging that Henrythenavigator already has five stakes horses, including that Group 1 winner Pedro The Great, who is out of a mare by Rainbow Quest

Morny (G1) runner-up George Vancouver (dam by Danzig), and the Group-placed Afonsa De Sousa (dam by Nureyev, so inbred to that horse, along with his three-parts brother Sadler’s Wells). With this Euro success, it will be interesting to see what decision Coolmore makes on the stallion’s future residence. The previously mentioned Sightseeing

“

sits in third, courtesy of So Many Ways. A son of Pulpit, out of the Pleasant Colony mare Resort and from a good Phipps family, Sightseeing was advertised at just $3,500 this year, but, in addition to a quality pedigree, he was an accomplished runner, winning the Peter Pan Stakes (G2) and finishing second in the Wood Memorial Stakes. So Many Ways is out of a mare by Dehere (Deputy Minister) and bred on a cross that has been good for Pulpit and his sire A.P. Indy. He’s also inbred to A.P. Indy’s sire, Seattle Slew.

year-old and sprinter by the Mr. Prospector speed source Carson City and is now a very useful sire. Run Away And Hide was undefeated in three starts, all of which came as a two-year-old and included the Kentucky Stakes (G3) and Saratoga Special Stakes (G2), in a new race-record. He doesn’t have a stakes winner yet, but he has had six winners from 18 starters, two of them being repeat winners.

member of the first crop of the relatively unheralded Sightseeing. Sightseeing was the first of the freshman of 2012 to get a US Grade 1 winner, but, at the time of writing, there have already been 14 individual US freshman represented by a stakes winner. Paradoxically, Majestic Warrior, the current leading freshman sire by earnings and tied for second by winners with eight, doesn’t yet have a black-type horse on the board, although he has had two stakes-placed horses. A rare Grade 1-wining two-year-old sprinter by his sire A.P. Indy, Majestic Warrior is most closely pursued by his Ashford Stud-mate, Henrythenavigator, who has got a number of stakes horses, including the Group 1 Phoenix Stakes winner, Pedro The Great. A son of Kingmambo and out of Sequoyah (Sadler’s Wells), Henrythenavigator was a talented two-year-old who won the Coventry Stakes (G3), but was better at three when he took the English and the Irish 2,000 Guineas (G1), the St. James’s Palace Stakes (G1) and Sussex Stakes (G1). With that in mind, it’s very encouraging that Henrythenavigator already has five stakes horses, including that Group 1 winner Pedro The Great, who is out of a mare by Rainbow Quest. His black-type placers include the Prix

Silver Deputy (Deputy Minister), who has already been represented by a previous leading freshman sire in Posse, has another stallion son prominent on this year’s table in Spring At Last. Unraced at two, Spring At Last won the Godolphin Mile (G2) at four and the Donn Handicap (G1) at five, and he has already had eight winners. He also has three stakes horses, and put down a marker for his future in the Natalma Stakes (G2) at Woodbine when he got the quinella through the winner Spring Venture, out of the Rahy mare Zahwah, and the runner-up Spring In The Air. The stallion also has the black-typewinning A Lover’s Question, who is out of a mare by Mr. Greeley and inbred to Mr. Prospector. One place below Spring At Last is Salute The Sarge, who began his stud career in Kentucky, but is now resident in Louisiana. By the Storm Cat stallion Forest Wildcat, Salute The Sarge is sire of five juvenile winners to date, including the stakes winner Fishin Frank (out of a mare by Blushing John).

Big Brown and Curlin hitting the board

One of the headliners when the crop retired was Big Brown, who was defeated just once in an eight-race career that saw him win the Kentucky Derby (G1), Preakness Stakes (G1), Florida Derby (G1) and Haskell Invitational Stakes (G1). By Danzig’s sprinting son Boundary and out of a Nureyev mare, Big Brown only

first-season sire profile In third place is another son of Galileo, Sixties Icon, who is defying a race-record that shows his most important victory as the St. Leger (G1) with his nine winners, headed by Chilworth Icon (Premio Primi Passi (G3) and Listed Woodcote Stakes). He is out of a mare by Acclamation, and has the three-parts brothers Sadler’s Wells/Nureyev 3 x 4 both crossed over the Raise A Native line.

French stallions doing well

Progeny by first-season sires at Royal Ascot: Dawn Approach (New Approach) wins the Group 2 Coventry Stakes. Sir Prancealot (Tamayuz) (striped sleeves) finished fourth

ran once at two – winning by eleven and a quarter lengths over a mile on the turf – so he isn’t necessarily be expected to be a source of precocity. With that in mind, he has made a solid-enough start with six individual winners, including the stakes scorer Brown Almighty (out of a mare by Gone For Real, a son of Gone West). Tiz Wonderful is another who was bred to improve with age, but injury derailed his career at three. After he’d been undefeated in a trio of starts as a juvenile, he recorded wins in the Iroquois Stakes (G3) and Kentucky Jockey Club Stakes (G2). He has had five winners to date, including My Happy Face (out of a mare by Siberian Summer, a son of Siberian Express from the Caro line), who recently broke her maiden by the proverbial street at Saratoga. The top ten is rounded out by a second son of Kingmambo, Student Council. He was a talented older horse who won the Pacific Classic (G1) at five and the Pimlico Special (G1) at six. He was unplaced in three outings at two, but some of his offspring have proved more precocious and he already has four winners, including the stakes winner Private Tutor and the stakes-placed Political Pupil. That duo are both out of mares by El Prado giving further credits to the hugely successful Kingmambo/Sadler’s Wells cross. A little further down the list is two-time Horse of the Year, Curlin (Smart Strike). He

actually already has seven winners from 19 starters, including the English stakes-placed Savanna La Mar, and, in the US, Palace Malice, who created a big impression when breaking his maiden but who is now on the shelf until next year. Savanna La Mar is out of a daughter of Pivotal, and Palace Malice from a mare by Royal Anthem, both those horses being grandsons of Nureyev.

New Approach threatening Henry

With most of his runners having made their mark in Europe, Henrythenavigator is second on the European freshman list behind the European champion two-year-old and three-year-old New Approach, who joined Henry on the Group 1 rostrum in September. The son of Galileo set a new standard when siring a trio of Royal Ascot black-typewinning two-year-olds: the ill-starred Albany Stakes (G3) winner Newfangled; Dawn Approach, who was successful in the Coventry Stakes (G2), and Tha’ir, who took the Listed Chesham Stakes. Given that New Approach won an Epsom Derby (G1) it will be fascinating to see how his offspring progress. August ended badly for the sire with the sad loss of Newfangled at York, but things improved in September with Dawn Approach’s Group 1 win in the National Stakes, a race which had been earmarked by trainer Jim Bolger at Royal Ascot.

Fourth and fifth places focus attention on a very close battle for leadership of the group in France, contested between Sageburg, a Prix d’Isapahan (G1) winner by Johannesburg, and the French 2,000 Guineas (G1) victor Falco (Pivotal). Sageburg has had three winners from 11 starters and got his first Group race winner in September courtesy of the unbeaten Peace Burg, who took the Prix d’ Aumale (G3). He is out of the Sadler’s Wells mare Peace Talk. Falco has got five winners, including the Prix du Bois (G3) victor Snowday and the Listed winner Melodique. He is out of a Forest Wildcat mare and from the family of Forest Wildcat’s grandsire Storm Bird, with both the sire and dam bred on the Northern Dancer/Mr. Prospector cross. Though now based in Ireland, Tamayuz was trained by Freddie Head and much of his best form came in France – he won the Prix Jacques Le Marois Stakes (G1) and Prix Jean Prat (G1). He has plenty to live up to as he is from the immediate family of Galileo, the Classic-winning and producing sire King’s Best, and the newest stallion recruit for the family, the champion Sea The Stars. The son of Nayef is shaping up well as he’s already been represented by seven European winners, including Sir Prancealot, who is out of a mare by the Storm Cat horse Catrail. The Andrew Tinkler-owned runner won the Listed National Stakes, finished second in the Prix Robert Papin (G1), fourth in the Prix Morny (G1) and won the Flying Childers (G2). Tamayuz has also been represented by the Grade 3 winner in Japan Meiner Eternel, whose dam is by Piccolo (Warning). The Criterium Internatonal (G1) and Eclipse Stakes (G1) winner Mount Nelson (Rock Of Gibraltar) is another with seven winners, and he too has a Group winner on the board – his daughter Purr Along won the Prix du Calvados (G3) and then backed up that when second in the May Hill Stakes (G2). She is out of Purring, who is by Mountain Cat (Storm Cat), out of a daughter of Memory Lane, a Group-winning sister to Mill Reef.

unusually inbred to Gay Mecene. Hannouma never won a black-type race, but did finish second in the Criterium de Saint-Cloud (G1). A son of Annaba, he is sire of Grafelli (dam by the Seattle Slew stallion, Septieme Ciel), who has won his last three starts, including the Tyro Stakes G3). Finally, we’ll give a call to Sakhee’s Secret. He hasn’t got a black-type winner yet, but his offspring have always looked precocious and appear to be living up to their hype: he has already had 46 starters and 14 winners and heads the first-season sires’ list by winners.

Wise words from Morcombe

Julian Smyth meets Alan Morcombe, chief executive of the Horsemenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Group www.internationalthoroughbred.net

alan morcombe

F IT ain’t broke don’t fix it, as the cliché goes. Racing jargon is strewn with clichés, knee-deep in well-worn, wellloved phrases for every occasion, but it seems a long time since anyone has uttered the aforementioned sentence in connection with the sport in Britain. Sure, all seems well on a superficial level, thanks to the on-track exploits of Frankel and Camelot and figures indicating that racecourse attendance is on the rise, but a truer picture of the state of the sport can be gleaned from the opening remarks of Alan Morcombe, chief executive of the Horsemen’s Group, the organisation that represents the interests of many of racing’s constituent bodies. “The business model is broken,” he says, a simple statement with complex ramifications. “What we need, what racing needs, is strong and co-ordinated leadership with the emphasis on co-ordinated. “Racing’s been around a long time – most people don’t like change and effecting change in racing is even more difficult than in other walks of life. We have to try new things, but I don’t think tinkering with a failed system is the answer – we need radical change, a big step.” It is easily said but not so easily done. The economic recession has thrown many of racing’s problems into stark relief – owners are turning away from the sport because owning a racehorse makes even less financial sense than it used to, racecourses are being closed down, horse numbers are falling, and underpinning everything is the perennial complaint that prize-money levels are inadequate.

“

“The first funding challenge is how do you get money into what we’ll call, for the sake of simplicity, Racing Ltd? “It’s all about what’s coming in and how we can maximise what’s coming in. Then there’s the question of how we distribute the money once it’s in, which is of equal importance. “Most of the money comes from owners. Outside owners you have bookmakers, who put quite a lot of money into racing and, of course, would say they put in more than enough. What we have to do is create an environment wherein they don’t feel as though they’re subsidising racing, which they complain about now, but are actually getting value for money. This is a very big issue. “Some bookmakers have escaped paying into the levy. They’ve worked the system with tax loopholes so they pay as little as possible for the racing product – that’s a business attitude, very understandable, but it’s not what racing needs. “We have to engage with bookmakers – they have to be involved because they put so much money into the industry – and we have to come up with a product that makes them more money and consequently makes more money for racing.” The levy system, whereby bookmakers pay a percentage of their gross profits on bets placed on British horseracing, has been hamstrung by the prevailing attitude of the major bookmakers to move elements of their business offshore to reduce these levy payments. Without a radical overhaul the levy system is no longer adequate to serve racing’s needs; Morcombe has the numbers. “In 2010 we received £57 million for

“

It is facile to say that money is the root of all racing’s evils, but not so flippant to say that the way the sport is funded is no longer fit for purpose. Morcombe is aware of these shortcomings and aware of the measures that need to be adopted to arrest the problem. “The issue of funding has to be addressed but it’s not straightforward – nothing in racing appears to be straightforward,” he says.

prize-money through the levy, while in 2012 we received £38m. And people ask us why we keep complaining about prize-money!” he says, a rhetorical edge to his voice. “On the other side of the ledger, the racecourses’ income from media rights has increased by practically the same amount as the levy payments have fallen – but prizemoney traditionally comes out of the levy.

“To be fair, over the last 12 months racecourses have contributed more of their income into prize-money, but only because we’ve put pressure on them to do so. “The whole distribution mechanism is broken, and it needs to be fixed. The only way to fix it is to get all the commercial entities signed up to a single business plan. “The three major interest groups – bookmakers, racecourses and horsemen – all have to agree on a strategy for racing that grows the pot and allows money to trickle down to where it’s needed. If that means giving bookmakers the kind of races they want then that’s what must happen.” Here is the essence of the damaging dichotomy between the two separate groups ‘racing’ and ‘bookmakers’, two groups whose traditional antipathy calls to mind nothing so much as the Jets and the Sharks. Racing interests have long accused bookmakers of waxing fat at racing’s expense, while bookmakers have complained that they are being expected to subsidise racing to the detriment of good business sense. Morcombe’s point, his salient point that underpins the strategy he believes might lead racing to a position of financial health, is that ‘racing’ and ‘bookmakers’ should not consider themselves as two separate groups but simply two sides of the same group who, along with the racecourses as the third side, must form a strong and solid alliance to drag the sport/industry (term it how you will) into the 21st century without too much kicking and screaming. It is in his favour that Morcombe, 59, is not

the agenda, all the usual problems. “In the early days, prize-money was the only item on the agenda. Now we’re looking at fixtures, race programming, that sort of thing. “I’d like to see the various bodies of the Horsemen’s Group coming together so there is a truly united Group that speaks for its constituents on all issues. We need people to say ‘okay, we are prepared to put our trust in this group, it’s accountable to us and responsible to us but we don’t get involved’. “At the moment there are still divisions

The way forward is not to fund fixtures, but to fund individual races. Decisions need to be made about how many races we need to satisfy the sport and what type of races they should be

steeped in racing, and brings no accumulated baggage from a career of infighting. He had nothing to do with racing apart from the business angle originating from his role running a technology company called Alphameric that provided in-house systems for bookmakers. Then he became involved in setting up TurfTV, provoking a nascent interest that led to his appointment at the Horsemen’s Group in April 2010. He has bought into racing literally as well as figuratively – “I wanted to buy a horse for my wife Sue – the only stipulation she had was that it had to be a grey. We own Masked Dance, he’s a nice old boy, trained by Scott Dixon, and he’s won for us” – and now finds himself somewhere near the centre of the industry. It’s an industry that frequently seems to be drowning in a sea of alphabet soup, with the BHA, the ROA, the TBA, the NTF, the PJA, the RCA and NASS all engaged in an acrid and acronymic conflict of self-interest; never can so many corners have been fought over to such little effect. The Horsemen’s Group represents five of those acronyms – owners, trainers, jockeys, breeders and stable staff and in doing so has removed some of the headaches, although not all of them. “Everyone in the Horsemen’s Group supports our strategy and aims because they independently decided that was what they needed,” says Morcombe. “Separately, they didn’t have the necessary clout. But then we have a constant juggling act about seniority and which issues are more important than others, who should be driving

within the elements, they have different ways and different timespans of reaching decisions. We simply can’t go back to the old way of divide and rule.” If Morcombe occasionally sounds like an exasperated schoolmaster it’s understandable given the hitherto parlous lack of cohesion of racing’s ‘governing’ bodies. He would like the BHA to be much more of a regulator and to leave the commercial aspect alone, pointing out that the overall strategy ought to stay the same no matter who is in charge, rather than strategy changing according to the whim of its leader. The Horsemen’s Group has already had success with its tariff initiative aimed at ensuring minimum prize-money levels are met by racecourses, both voluntarily and through the well-publicised strike action of trainers at Worcester racecourse, which is owned by Arena Racing Company. After complaining that there was no money available to add to race values, Arena performed a swift volte-face and came up with increased funding at the lowest level. The situation was perceived as yet another ‘them and us’ scenario, which is the antithesis of Morcombe’s strategy. More than once he uses the phrase “we have to get everyone in the same boat and rowing in the same direction”, although he doesn’t always append the coda “it’s not that difficult”. The three men in the boat – horsemen, bookmakers and racecourses – will have to overcome long-held taboos if Morcombe’s long-term plans are to reach fruition. Central to his vision is the fundamental way in which

“

races are funded – the precise wording holding the key. “Our very worst fixtures make money for bookmakers and generate levy, and make money for racecourses through media rights,” says Morcombe. “For those two, the more fixtures we have the more money they make. But how can that continue to work while numbers of owners and horses are declining? “The way forward is not to fund fixtures, but to fund individual races. Decisions need to be made about how many races we need to satisfy the sport and what type of races they should be. “At the moment racecourses decide what type of race they’re going to put on. That’s not the right way to do it. Bookmakers, racecourses and horsemen must work together and decide how many Group 1 races they need, how many Class 2 1m2f handicaps, how many Class 5 6f handicaps etc, and then attach levy money to those races. “Then, if racecourses want to put on other races, well they can, but they won’t be subsidised by any levy payment. We must incentivise racecourses to put on races that will best serve the sport as a whole. “The racing landscape wouldn’t look that different and I don’t think it’s too far down the line – the Levy is keen to have that debate.” This, of course, would take control away from racecourses and put a degree of autonomy into the bookmakers’ hands, measures that are guaranteed to draw fire from certain sectors of ‘racing’. Morcombe reinforces the point that racing must see bookmakers as not the enemy to be defied, but as a partner to work alongside to ensure an increase in money entering the system for the benefit of all. “The race programme/fixture list is much more important than how many racecourses we have,” he adds, alluding to the imminent closure of Hereford and Folkestone, two courses that are no longer deemed to fit Arena’s business model. “We could lose more racecourses, but as long as the race programme is untouched it won’t matter. It’s races that make money, not

racecourses. No racecourse should have a right to exist and I can see Arena ‘refining’ its portfolio further, with possibly more closing.” Under another potential initiative, the racing landscape Morcombe mentioned earlier would change markedly. Regional racing has been discussed before and rejected, but Morcombe has it on his list and sees it as a natural progression from the devolvement of race-planning from racecourses into the tripartite committee he has described. “Let’s have another serious look at regional racing, and perhaps premierisation while we’re at it,” he says. “Trainers aren’t travelling from Newmarket to Ayr, or Middleham to Salisbury, because it’s too expensive. Let’s make sure races are available in the regions they train so they don’t have to travel, so their hands and their owners’ hands aren’t tied by basic costs. “With a core racing programme devised by horsemen as well as bookmakers and racecourses, it would be possible.” Morcombe’s vision depends on certain elements of the racing industry ceding

certain powers to a committee upon which they have representation but no outright rule, depends on age-old barriers being broken down in favour of new alliances, depends on the progress towards a common goal being perceived as more desirable than concentrating on individual concerns. The next five years will be hugely important as racing seeks to take a new direction, to forge a new philosophy of accord rather than discord. Given three wishes for British racing, Morcombe has his answers ready. There is no magic wand; even if there were there has to be the will to wave it. “For British racing? Well, high-quality, exciting racing – at the top end we have that already, with the example of Frankel selling out Ascot weeks in advance. “But more than that we need proper funding properly distributed to where it is needed most, and then co-ordinated management to enable that to happen. Of course we will still have power struggles, but if the proper structure is in place they won’t matter so much. “My feeling is that we’re at the bottom of the barrel, and I can see prize-money increasing in the next couple of years. That won’t mean that everything’s fixed, though. “If we’re doing what we’re doing now in five years’ time it’ll be a disaster. But maybe we’ll have begun to sort it out. Am I optimistic? Yes. What are the chances of success? I’m afraid that they’re not high.” We started with a cliché and we are still faced with one – something must be done.

here has been a rare sighting in the Nottinghamshire countryside; it is not the lesserspotted natterjack toad, a week of glorious sunshine or even a happy farmer with a smile on his face. At Whatton Manor Stud, a beautiful 700acre farm found 12 miles from Nottingham, a father and son team are busy growing foals, producing sales horses, boarding mares and continuing to develop their own broodmare

band and stud farm. While such family concerns are a more regular part of the Irish countryside and its own unique thoroughbred industry, British family-based stud farms are more unusual, in danger of becoming extinct and consigned to history as economic and wider land use pressures are brought to bear on rural communities. Peter and his wife Cathy Player have created an oasis of equine tranquility on their farm in the Vale of Belvoir, which

was inherited from an aunt in the 1980s. Unsurprisingly, son Ed, who after the best part of a decade spent working in the City, decided eight years ago to swap urban sprawl and the regularity of a monthly pay packet to return to his rural home. He now works alongside his parents dealing with the uncertainties and the ups and down that working with equine livestock on a stud farm, no matter how lovely it is, will bring. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have always been passionate about

retired from breeding and has her last foal, a colt by Lucarno, at foot. The farm’s own mares have also had a successful time of it. From horses sold at the Doncaster Premier Sale and Tattersalls Book 2 in 2011, they have been represented by 11 runners, all have been placed and eight have won. The two most exciting homebreds are Kyllachy Rise, a son (obviously) of Kyllachy. He is in training with Sir Henry Cecil and finished fourth on his sole start to date in a Goodwood maiden that is working out well, while Titled Gent, a promising two-year-old son of Kheleyf, is already a dual winner for trainer Brian Meehan. The pair hold big-race autumn entries, including in the Dewhurst Stakes. Both juveniles trace to the stud’s first mare Gay Charlotte, also the ancestress of the most widely known graduate from Whatton, the 16-time-winning sprinter Overdose. The son of Starborough was cruelly denied Group 1 success when the Prix de l’Abbaye was voided after a false start. “Dad bought Gay Charlotte for just £8,000 and she produced Upend, who really has become our foundation mare,” says Player. “She won the St Simon Stakes and produced the Group 1 filly Musicanna. “We have tons of the family and what is so great is that it is still so current: there have been a huge number of winners from the pedigree already this year, while Up In Time won a Grade 2 in the US last year and finished fourth in the Grade 1 Just A Game Stakes this June. We sold her dam Up At Dawn to Larry

here,” says Ed Player. “I love the challenge of working on a stud farm, from working with the horses to trading them at the sales to trying to run a successful business; there are so many aspects involved you are never going to get bored. It is a tough living and you work very hard, but at the same time it is hugely rewarding, especially when there is success on the racecourse.” And this year the racecourse has once again been good for Whatton Manor Stud.

mares for Sir David’s daughter, Dr Catherine Wills. “We have the most amazing pasture and horses do really well on it. My parents worked so hard to establish here, built the stud and planted lots of trees around the farm as shelter belts. They even planted trees around the arable fields, just in case we ever wanted to bring them back into the stud. The stud itself is 500 acres, while there is also around 200 acres of arable. We are not heavily stocked at all.”

Stratton for just 3,000gns!” Overdose himself is out of Our Poppet, a once-raced daughter of Upend, and her yearling, a colt by Royal Applause, is the first to be sold out of her since Overdose started collecting European Group races in 2008. “It is uncanny how similar in looks he is to Overdose, though he has better legs,” smiles Player. “On his markings and on his make and shape, he is the spitting image of Overdose, I know people won’t believe it when I tell them this at the sales! “The nicest thing is that Our Poppet is owned by Graham and Di Robinson, who are the most enthusiastic people, they are mad keen and really love being involved in the mares and racehorses.” The magician that is Sir Henry Cecil has had his part to play in helping create the family – he trained Upend for Whatton as well as Prickle. She won the Lowther Stakes and finished third in the Cheveley Park Stakes and was out of the second Whatton foundation mare Jungle Queen, who was bought for £100 and a case of claret!

superb set of clients, as well as the amazing staff working on the stud. “It’s what makes everything possible, without either of them nothing would work,” he explains. “We have some fantastic support from some amazing owner-breeders, who are hugely successful in their own right.” It is all due, though, to the foresight in the 1980s of Player senior, whose hard work created and developed such an attractive, successful and viable stud farm, suitable for the housing of top thoroughbreds. Player’s own beginnings in the bloodstock business came about, quite literally, by accident. “Dad was in the army, but one winter when he was chasing some girl down the ski slopes, he fell and badly broke his leg,” says Player junior. “It was a bad break and he was on crutches for two years and was pensioned out of the army. He had to look for something to do, and Douglas Gray, then manager of Hadrian Stud for Sir David Wills, got him a job there. “Gray left his position when he bought Stetchworth Stud and Dad became stud manager at Hadrian. When this farm was inherited, he moved here; we still board

he economic downturn has, like everyone else, affected Whatton Manor. Its boarding mare numbers are down as clients have cut back: those who may have had five mares have cut back to three, while some may have got out of the business altogether. But the Players have decided to fight fire with fire making a positive move to upgrade their own broodmare band, while also taking the bold move of adding a new foal pinhooking venture into the mix. “We have tried to expand our way out of the downturn and used the opportunity to buy better quality mares and improve the broodmare band; at Arqana last year we bought a very nice filly who is now in foal to New Approach,” explains Player. “When you buy a nice mare there are often people who want to get involved in shares – for instance, we bought six mares and fillies at the December Sale and we have sold bits and pieces in four or five of them. “Families can go cold so you have got to keep reinvesting in order to try and move ahead, getting other people involved helps maintain the keep income.” The working relationship between Whatton Manor’s father and son is clearly very strong and fairly platonic – as the son explains managing the farm is very much a family team effort with every major decision put on the table and debated so that, hopefully, the right result is achieved. What the younger Player believes he has brought to that table is more of a “trading” arm, which has involved moving on some mares and clearing out a few families, but also the pin-hooking syndicate, which began four years ago. “Initially Dad was not hugely keen, but, touch-wood, we have been quite successful so far,” smiles Player, aware how thin that line is between bloodstock profit and loss. “Dad lets

to find value – we look at 100s and 100s of horses in order to buy a handful, we won’t over pay. We go through our list and put a price on them and try not to get sucked into going beyond that, we are very rigid in that regard as, when you resell, if you have paid too much it is difficult to find the profit.” It is an area of business which the ambitious 38-year-old wants to see expand again, but realises that he has some tough opposition to face. “I can’t see it getting any less competitive,” he says. “The Irish farms such as Yeomanstown and Lynn Lodge, they buy so many and every time you are in on a foal,

me get on with that side of things and we use Ed Sackville to help purchase. In year one, we sold an Iffraaj colt for 150,000gns, which we had bought for 20,000gns, and in year two another Iffraaj for 110,000gns. He had cost us €20,000. “This year four of our Tattersalls yearlings are pin-hooks. When buying them we aim to buy a foal who will be a Book 2-type yearling. We take very seriously which letter the sale is going to start on, and then which day and when that yearling is likely to sell. Last year we took a risk and sold one horse as Lot 3 of Book 2 – as a sale normally takes about an hour to get going, although he was a nice horse, he didn’t go nearly as well as he should have. “We concentrate on the individual over the pedigree; if you buy a nice-looking horse it will always sell – our 150,000gns Iffraaj was out of a 13-year-old mare who had bred one winner in Greece! He made his money because he was an absolutely lovely horse. “We are more on a stallion than pedigree and try and get one by a stallion whom we think is going to be popular – we won’t look at foals by stallions who we don’t like. “But it is so competitive, we do struggle

invariably they are as well and they have deeper pockets than we do… well at least at the moment they do. “We would like to expand and buy more, but we will only buy as many as we think offer value.” The pin-hooks sold last year helped to give Whatton Manor a successful Book 2 and the farm ended up as the third-leading Britishbased consignor on aggregate. With two six-figure lots, Whatton achieved a total of 493,000gns at an average price of 49,300gns. The farm did not sell in Book 1 last autumn, but has two representatives this year: a Shamardal filly out of West Lorne from the

whatton manor stud family of Snow Bride, Lammtarra and this year’s Prix Jean Prat winner Aesop’s Fables, and a New Approach colt out of Craigmill, a half-sister to the dam of the Group 1 winners Invermark and Craigsteel. A further 15 are due to go through Book 2, with another three catalogued in Book 3. Despite some big sales enjoyed by the farm over the years (its best price was achieved in 2000 when the farm received 600,000gns for a Cadeaux Genereux filly out of the Moyglare Stud winner Bianca Nera), the ultimate test is on a racecourse, but by that point the horse is usually out of the farm’s control. “We do try and trade on our reputation as we feel the farm has sold a lot of winners,” admits Player. “We breed nice types and we hope that is why we get the same people back year after year buying off us. “Apart from on our best mares, we try not to spend too much money on coverings. For the best mares we may use a stallion standing at around £20,000-£30,000, but, for the others, we are looking more around the £10,000 mark. It is incredibly difficult to come up with stallions who are commercial, proven and affordable. “The main thing we try to do is breed a racehorse, but at the back of your mind you’ve still got to breed a commercial type. “The battle is half won if the horse goes to a good trainer – it has more chance of being a decent horse, but if they are not good, even though in the right hands, at least they have had every chance.” Player senior, now 71 and still fully involved on a day-to day basis with the operation of both the farm and stud, has over the years certainly given plenty back to the racing and bloodstock industries. He has acted as chairman of Newmarket racecourses, the National Stud and the Racing School as well spending time on the board of the TBA. Involving himself at board level is something that he hugely enjoyed, but, as yet, is not a route his son wishes to take feeling that “just trying to run a stud is hard enough without getting involved in the politics of it all!” Continuing to ensure the successful existence of Whatton Manor Stud into a second generation and perhaps beyond is the precise aim of the younger Player. “We want to continue with what we are doing, get better at it as well as expand to a new level, improve the broodmare band and continue to produce good racehorses, of our own and for other people.” A concise mission statement for the future.

Sir Henry Cecil: walking yearlings

“When Sir Henry came to see the Kyllachy we were selling last year, he came to me and asked: ‘Does he walk well?’ I told him that yes, I thought he did, but Sir Henry then turned and said: “Could I walk him myself?” He walked the colt up and down and we got a photo. He returned the colt and reported that yes he is a good walker, and then bought him for 100,000gns.”

The size: of this year’s Tattersalls October sale

“We are concerned about the size of the catalogue. Book 2 was such a success last year, with great returns and a really strong sale. This year the agents will struggle to see everything, which I don’t think will help the sale. We can’t even move some of our Wednesday horses in until Monday afternoon.””

Prize-money: the effects are far-reaching

“Obviously it is an increasing concern to us as our clients are finding it harder to make it pay as well as maintain their enthusiasm for keeping horses in training in this country. We can definitely see it directly impacting on our business – clients are either having more horses based in France, in training and boarding, or they are not having horses at all. The knock-on effects are definitely felt here.”

Stock: all progeny bred is for sale

“We generally sell everything unless there is a family from which we really want to keep a filly. Occasionally, one yearling won’t have made enough in the sales ring and we will keep it and have it in training, or we might keep a first foal if we want to get a mare off to a good start. Most stock is offered as if you don’t, you can soon spend a lot of money very quickly.”

Consigning: a future venture

“At present we consign either our own horses, our pin-hooks or those out of the permanent boarding mares. We don’t consign outside yearlings, though that is something we would like to do. However, we wouldn’t want to just be meeting horses at the sales, we would want to do the prep work too. We like to put the Whatton Manor Stud stamp on the horses.”

The pick: of Book 2

“We have a very nice Holy Roman Emperor, he is the pick of them; our own yearling by Cape Cross out of Wink is very nice, while there is also the Teofilo out of Poppets Sweetlove: she is an exciting young mare, and her first foal has already won two races this year.”

Getting the buzz

Sally Duckett travels to the Lincolnshire Wolds to meet sales consignor, Bumble Mitchell

hen the editorial team was doing its research for this issue, hunting down an interesting and successful person to feature in the October pre-Tattersalls edition, we happened to meet bloodstock agent Bobby O’Ryan ahead of day two of the DBS Premier Sale and asked him what his thoughts were of consignor Bumble Mitchell. In his soft Irish voice he said: “Ah, she’s a lovely lady” (a slight variation on O’Ryan’s favourite saying: “Ah, he’s a lovely horse”). He then added: “She does her horses very well.” So, armed with such insight which confirmed opinions from our own catalogue and sales’ research, the decision was made to divert on the way home from Donnie via the top of the Lincolnshire wolds – still a lot of harvesting to be done there after this summer’s wet July and August – and visit Bumble in her home environment. The car’s sat nav system did not quite get us to the required spot, instead directing us to a wheat field at the end of a potholed drive so pockmarked it is fit to rival any teenager’s face. Deciding that Bumble would not want her horsebox, loaded with precious sales yearlings, to traverse such terrain, a call to the woman in question confirmed that our suspicions were confirmed: We were indeed in totally the wrong place, she would come

and fetch us. Shortly, a smart navy Audi A3 was spotted flying along on the horizon, and as it neared, Bumble leaned out of the window, waved and shouted: “Follow me” before speeding off again. We disembarked at Bumble’s residence after a rapid five-minute flight, finding ourselves at a farm down a three-minute drive, surrounded by fields and in splendid isolation, peacefully overlooking its own land, completely hidden from the road. (Apparently, the perfect habitat for a bumblebee – a member of the bee genus Bombus, in the family Apidae – is the higher latitudes and/or high altitudes: the habitat of Bumble Mitchell (a member of the British Homosapien bloodstock community) is the western side of a Lincolnshire wold. “We obviously didn’t come the right way to your farm, but was it right to come from Doncaster via Bawtry and Gainsborough?,” we asked the lady as we stood watching mares flashing away flies on a rare sunny summer’s day in Britain. “Well, yes you can come that way, but I like to come down the motorway before cutting across to here. It’s a 50mph speed limit on that road from Bawtry, and that is so

I was determined to keep this place, and through the last four years of this economic downturn it has probably been the worst time to be doing this job

“

tiresome,” smiled Bumble. A not-unexpected answer given the pace set on our tandem mission to base camp. “I first saw this place when hunting one day as a teenager, I never thought that I would live here,” she continued, looking out at the view. “It is great for the horses, they do so well here, the Wolds are on a belt of limestone and the horses benefit hugely.” Not only do the Bumble Bloodstock broodmares and permanent boarders profit from the natural environment, but also the yearlings sent to the farm for consigning. On a daily basis, they are all turned out, a mode of sales preparation that not all sales operations would consider. “I don’t have a walker,” she explains. “Everyone thinks I am mad, they almost pat me on the head and say ‘oh you poor thing’! “But these horses, they are only babies, and I don’t think their legs need a lot of going round and round in circles. They are only beginners and I don’t wish to overprep them.

“So they go out in the paddocks everyday for a couple of hours, are lunged for a short time and are hand walked. They are also led out to the paddocks, which are up and down the slopes and some are nearly a quarter of a mile away, by the time they’ve done that, and a few laps of their fields, they’ve had quite a bit of exercise before we attempt to contain them! “These fields are on slopes, which I like as I think the horses do better on slopes. It is interesting that when we get yearlings here from farms with flat paddocks, they alter so much just from being turned out.” The farm was purchased by Bumble and her husband around 37 years ago and the pair started to breed their own racehorse, selling homebred yearlings (in year two, the pair sold a colt by Mill Reef for 530,000gns, sadly his performance did not live up to that rarified price tag) and stood stallions, the homebred Music Maestro out of Saulisa and by Song being one.

Bumble Mitchell is a hands-on consignor and is often spotted leading up a sales horse herself

Since that time, though, both the stallions and the husband have gone, leaving behind one strong-minded lady, focused on making her business work and keeping her nest intact. “I was determined to keep this place, and through the last four years of this economic downturn it has probably been the worst time to be doing this job on my own, but then you can never always plan things as you want to,” she reflects. Since 2004 the operation has developed from consigning the home-produced yearlings and those for owners of permanent boarding mares, to selling yearlings for external clients. “It just happened, snowballed and started to grow,” says the amazed consignor, still slightly bemused as how her operation has developed. When it is volunteered that

bumble mitchell forehead in the shape of a heart.” The rest of the Bumble Bloodstock Book 1 consignment for The Kathryn Stud are pin-hooks and include a Bahamian Bounty colt out of Hip, who is a half-sister to the Group 1 Cheveley Park winner Hooray, bought for 42,000gns by Brummit at the Tattersalls November Foal Sale, and a Peintre Célèbre colt out of Kotdiji (Mtoto). He cost 82,000gns and is a half-brother to the Listed winner and Group 2-placed Polly’s Mark, from the family of Ameerat. The Book 2 draft consists of both homebreds for The Kathryn Stud, notably a Shirocco filly out of Katy Nowaitee, a Bahamian Bounty colt out of Rock Lily, the dam of Botanic Garden who finished third in this year’s Listed Ripon Two-Year-Old Trophy, as well as a Footstepsinthesand colt from the family of Claxon. On behalf of Langham Hall Stud, Bumble consigns a Notnowcato colt out of Meredith, whose only runner so far has been the fourtime winning three-year-old Alhaarth filly Speedi Mouse, and an Observatory colt out of the five-time-winning mare, Ailincala. Her home-produced yearlings include a February-born Mount Nelson colt out of Dusty Moon, a half-sister to the Grade 2 winner Spotlight and to Tyranny, the dam of the Phoenix Stakes (G1) winner Zoffany. It is the further family of Claxon. There is also a Royal Applause colt out of Naizak, whom Bumble describes as a “particularly nice sort”. View over The Grove: at Bumble’s farm in Lincolnshire, there is not another property in sight

perhaps it is because she is good at her job, the praise is swiftly batted back: “I don’t suppose we do anything very different from anyone else… apart from turning them out.” With a little more reflection, the hardworking, hands-on consignor adds: “I suppose we spend a lot of time with them at home, and are a bit more personal, we treat all of them as individuals.” Four years ago that one-to-one attitude brought Bumble to the attentions of Fergus Anstock, his newly created farm The Kathryn Stud and bloodstock agent Jeremy Brummit, who asked Bumble to consign the stud’s sales horses. After a couple of early quiet years as the mares bedded themselves in at the new operation, the trio hit six-figure heights twice at last autumn’s Tattersalls October Sale when selling a Selkirk filly out of Have Faith

for 180,000gns to Charlie Gordon-Watson and an Oasis Dream filly out of Interchange for 320,000gns to Demi O’Byrne. She has been named Bronte and is in training with David Wachman. She has run three times, her second run coming in a Listed race run on unsuitably soft ground in which she finished mid-division. She was second in September to a well regarded Cape Cross in training with Jim Bolger. She holds entries in various Tattersalls sales races, as well as in the Group 1 Shadwell Fillies’ Mile. This year, Have Faith, a Machiavellian half-sister to the Group 1 winner Faithful One, has a yearling filly by Acclamation due to head to Book 1. “She is a lovely filly,” reports Bumble. “A really sweet filly, and very strong and correct. She is my favourite, she has the most amazing white markings on her

hen asked if she sees herself as a natural-born sales woman, she laughs saying: “Someone did once say that I ought to be selling second-hand cars! I think, well I hope, they were just teasing me. “I just reckon you have to be honest about the job. I have got a base of people who buy from me on a regular basis and they’ll ask me about a horse and I will tell them what I think of it. “I try and be brutally honest because I think in the long term it pays off. I will always tell my clients that I am not going to protect one if I don’t think the horse is up to it.” It is clear that Bumble loves her horses and her mares at home are particularly close to her heart. “Everyone keeps on about culling and culling mares, but I struggle to sell any of them – I should have a retirement paddock here! I don’t like out-wintering my horses

www.internationalthoroughbred.net

bumble mitchell and I love walking into the barn on a winter’s night and hear the munch, munch as they eat and see them lying flat out relaxed on a big bed of straw.” Despite this love for the racehorse, Bumble is realistic and keeps a clear head as regards costs, running as tight a ship as she can without compromising the job that she does. She foals down the mares herself, and walks in her mares so avoiding the costs of boarding or transport. As far as possible she uses stallions based in Britain so that expenses are not bumped up by shipping to Ireland. “By being so hands on it helps keep staff costs down,” she says, “but it is getting more and more difficult to balance costs against income.” It is clear though that Bumble derives as much pleasure from selling a lesser yearling

for friends and good clients as she does from spinning the top earners through the ring. As we finish our conversation and pack up and head to the car to make our way back south after a very pleasant morning in Lincolnshire, one final question has to be asked: Why the name Bumble? “I’ve been called it since I was a baby,” smiles the lady in question. “I am not going to tell you my real name, it really doesn’t suit me!” “Ah go on, you can’t leave us hanging like that! You have to tell us what it is, we won’t tell anyone,” we laugh. She tells us, but we not going to tell you, you’ll have to ask the determined lady herself. Photo: Sarah Farnsworth / DBS

The bee with the sting in its tail

“When my husband and I separated, he wanted to take the stud name so I had to work out what I was going to call the business. I realised that if I re-named the stud no one would know what it was or who was behind it. “So when I was lying in bed, I thought well, everyone knows me as Bumble, what about calling the business Bumble Bloodstock? I mentioned to a few friends and they said: ‘Why not?’ – though one did say it was a terrible idea... “Then, again when lying in bed, I thought how am I going to get this across to people? I don’t know what made me think of it, but it just came to me to put a bee logo on the jacket and the boards. “Peter Onslow of Sanfield Stud has a textile company so he put the template together – it is a great bee... It was amazing how well it worked, I went to the sales and everyone thought it was great. Unfortunately we have lost the template so are putting together a new one. “Some people say that the bee looks a little like a wasp: I say that is good because it means that we’ve got a sting to us!”

The fierce bee

“Some people do think that I am a little fierce. I had a good lad who worked for me for years and he was talking to someone at the sales, who said: ‘You didn’t work for her! I bet she was awful, she looks really fierce!’”

The compassionate bee

“I have a friend Susan Field, whose son Robert lost a leg and was paralysed when a heston bale fell on him while working on a farm. His mum had brought her children up on her own and things had been tough for them anyway. The children were just grown up, things were just getting good for them and then that happened. “When Robert got his payout he asked David Powell to buy his mum a mare as a thank you present for all thatshe had done for him – Susan had always had a thoroughbred mare but she had had to go when times were difficult. “The mare David bought was Xtrasensory and he bought her when

she was carrying the Dutch Art filly whom we sold for £50,000gns in 2010. Last year’s yearling made £42,000 – she is by Kyllachy and is now called Tassel – while this year’s was the Bahamian Bounty colt bought by Stephen Hillen and Kevin Ryan at DBS for £70,000. “I’ve known Susan for a long time and she originally just sent me the mare to foal down, but she got worried about having her home and kept putting off having her back. In the end I just mentioned that she might consider leaving her with me on a permanent basis, and I think she was quite relieved when it was suggested! “She and Robert are loving it and I think Susan was quite shell-shocked at the price made at Doncaster. I had played it down a bit before the colt went through the ring, but I knew who was likely to be in on him and had a fair idea that he would go ok. “It won’t sink in for Susan for at least three days, and I know I’ll ring her later this week and she’ll say ‘I can’t believe this has happened!’ “The mare now has a Paco Boy at foot and is back in foal to Dutch Art.”

The reflective bee

“I lost my son in an accident several years back and I know nothing will ever be as bad as that again; it puts everything in perspective. “The other morning at DBS I was with my great friend from next door (she has shares in some of the horses) and we were sloshing around in all that water at god knows what time in the morning, and we said how lucky we were to be there doing it at all! “Really, we are fortunate to be doing this job, it can be crap at times, but, on the whole, we are very lucky. “At Doncaster we did get the worst of the flood and the DBS team did come down and apologise, but I did have one yearling who had water coming right up to his door. He kept tiptoeing out and at one point I was not sure we were going to get him to the sales ring at all! “The flood was not the sales company’s fault, after all it was something of a freak storm, but perhaps the architect should have incorporated some drains into the £7 million complex!”

Three leading Tattersalls consignors answer questions ahead of the most important two weeks of the European bloodstock business year Highclere Stud has been the leading consignor in Book 1 for the last five years. Lady Carolyn Warren gives us some stars to look out for in this year’s draft Tell us about your consignment for the October sale? Numbers? Which are your stand-outs lots? We have 39 in Book 1 and then 18 in Book 2. There are slightly more than usual in Book 1 and probably slightly less in Book 2, it’s just the way it has worked out this year. We have half a dozen for new clients, seven homebreds for Book 1 with the remainder being consigned for our well established clients, who happen to have a few more this year for Book 1. The draft is there for all to see, but the individual yearlings dictate the sale in which they are selling. John and I assess them in the spring along with our clients and, of course, Tattersalls – a horse isn’t just a piece of paper, the physicals have to match their pedigrees. We want the buyers to feel confident that when purchasing from Highclere the yearlings have been very carefully selected which means the job has been half done for them! I want it to be like walking into the most tempting sweet shop, what is on offer is so delicious you just can’t make up your mind which ones to choose!

Beverly D Stakes winner Mauralakana from the family of Jim And Tonic (Lot 111). We have five lovely yearlings by Dubawi, five New Approach yearlings, including Lot 241, who is very closely related to recent Group 1 Moyglare Stakes winner Sky Lantern. We have excellent representatives by Dansili, Oasis Dream, Cape Cross, Danehill Dancer, Dalakhani, High Chaparral and Shamardal for Book 1. To be honest, though, I can’t really

centre in on one or two horses, they are a cracking group, one after the other. It is a good even draft – I hope they live up to our expectations. Any young stallions particularly impressing you that you have seen this sales season so far / in your consignment? We have three by Sea The Stars: colts out of Model Queen (Lot 131) and Bourbonella

(Lot 433), as well as a filly out of Nashmiah (Lot 152). They are excellent adverts for the sire, strong, good-looking horses with lovely temperaments and attitudes. They all walk, stand up well and have good conformation, and they look as though trainers will be able to get on with them. New Approach has obviously had a fantastic start on the racecourse and we have four in Book 1, we also have a smart Aqlaam colt (Lot 410) out of Aunty Mary, who has a smart two-year-old running that recently won the valuable nursery at York. The Aqlaam looks a real two-year-old type and is a very good walker. The Dubawi crops out of the better mares are starting to come through and the four we have by him are a lovely group of horses, the same can also be said of Cape Cross – this is his first crop post-Sea The Stars’s three-yearold career. We also have four by him to sell in Book 1 and they are very nice horses. There are also have two very smart colts by Shamardal, including (Lot 504) a half-brother to the exciting two-year-old Makafeeh. Invincible Spirit is another stallion who has had another excellent season and we have three in Book 1 by him, including (Lot 83) who is a half-brother to stakes placed Aquainted and the recent impressive two-year-old winner Penny Rose, who looks to be one with an exciting future. There is just one by Dalakhani (Lot 328), but he is a lovely colt who keeps catching the eye. What are your thoughts on the yearling sales so far this season? It has been a familiar story – the top lots have been very strong, but it is always hard if you are an also ran. It has to be encouraging how good the clearance rate was at Doncaster and especially as that is primarily a domestic market.

of paper he or she is written on. The numbers must have an affect and there will be no getting away from the fact that it will be a challenge for vendors and purchasers alike. For the last three weeks, John and Jake [Warren] have been working solidly going around the farms in both England and Ireland in order to try to see as many horses as possible ahead of the forthcoming sales. They wouldn’t manage to see the numbers without doing these trips and it is an excellent opportunity for vendors to show their yearlings in a far more relaxed environment than the frenetic sales grounds.

When did you begin prepping the draft? When will you ship to Newmarket? We aim to give each horse its own programme, very much tailored to the individual with feed and exercise to suit. That is how I believe we specialise. For instance, as we speak, some are handwalking in the far distance, some are on the walker, some are in the school, one is being lunged; it’s all about getting it right for the individual. You have to remember that they are only babies; they can’t fit into the same plan. I can’t stress enough what an amazing group of staff we have here. When you send a yearling out walking, full of food and in good

What are your thoughts ahead of the October Sale? Book 1 should be a very strong sale, Tattersalls has had fantastic results on the racecourse again this year and it is clearly an excellent catalogue and anyone who wants to buy quality should be concentrating their efforts there. I do think, looking at the size of Book 2, it is going to be difficult for trainers and agents to physically manage to see all the horses they need to. It may mean that the agents have to be too hard on what they choose to look at on pedigree, that is a pity because Book 2 is very often where an individual outshines the piece

consignors q and a health, that person on the end of the shank is vital. But there is even more to it than that – everyone works long hours here but they come back in if needed in the evening to give an extra feed, put on another rug; it is all those little things that make a difference, the attention to detail. And, of course, everyone here takes real pride in the horses at Highclere. W’ll start to ship into Newmarket over two days and are looking to get the first batch in on Thursday, October 4. The key is not to rush it. My PA is an ex-army Captain and organises the travel like a military operation – we have extra sales staff and the whole team need somewhere to stay and to be fed and watered. The whole process is nerve-wracking, but we have been doing it for a long time now so we should know how to get it right! Will you send your draft with x-rays? Book 1 yearlings will have X-rays and scopes.

the second week in September. It is great for buyers to see the horses on the stud, in their home environment. It is a very natural show – each horse has plenty of space to walk and show itself. I wish we could fit in more, but we still have got to be exercising the horses as well, so it is a very busy time and difficult to fit it all in. We know that the last two weeks of sales prep are vital in the conditioning of the yearlings, but I feel that the viewers are professionals and understand that they are not looking at the finished article. It can be a positive as someone may like a horse when looking on the stud, and then see further improvement when that horse gets to the sale. The shows at home are great practice both for the yearlings and the staff, they also give myself, Brian O’Rourke, our stud manager, and his assistant Diego Romeo a chance to stand back and look at each individual in show conditions and see how it presents itself and any finishing touches required.

Of course, it is important to sell horses well, but the ultimate test is on the racecourse and the judgement will always be with the results you achieve there. I believe that there are over 20 per cent stakes performers to yearlings sold by Highclere in 2010, which is a statistic which ourselves and the breeders who we are consigning for can be very proud. These include four Classics races, six Group 1 races with further Group 2, 3 and Listed race successes.

consignors q and a the Derby winner Authorized. He has already been named Hydrogen. Lot 403 is a beautiful Galileo filly out of the Danehill mare Arkadina I am delighted to have yearlings by a cross-section of stallions such as Pivotal, New Approach, Street Cry, Invincible Spirit, Dubawi, Raven’s Pass and Montjeu. Any young stallions particularly impressing you that you have seen this sales season so far / in your consignment? Obviously, New Approach has started extremely well on the track and you would have to be impressed with the Sea The Stars colts we have – they have very good confirmation and a good attitude What are your thoughts on the yearling sales so far this season? Trade has been strong, but it has also been very unforgiving – if you do not have a horse which ticks all the boxes. Purchasers have such a choice that they can afford to be selective and, if your yearling is below the average at any sale, it will, unfortunately, be a lonely place. I think this trend will continue throughout the sales season. What are your thoughts ahead of the October Sale? Tattersalls has put together an outstanding catalogue and if the physicals match the pedigrees, I believe the market will be strong.

Some things need Tying Up - your horses don’t.

There appears to be a good demand for top quality animals and Tattersalls Book 1 appears to have these in abundance. In your opinion, has the October Sale got too big again? Tattersalls Book 2 does have a lot of horses catalogued and certainly it will prove difficult for agents/trainers to physically get around to view every animal in the sale. When did you begin prepping the draft? When will you ship to Newmarket? We normally give the yearlings a 10-week prep and slowly build-up their work load, but because of the very bad spring and summer people in general have had yearlings in for a little longer this year than in previous years. We will ship the yearlings to arrive at the sales on Thursday, October 4 to start showing on the Saturday. We will have come straight from Goffs. Will you send your draft with x-rays? Yes, all our Book 1 yearlings will have a full set of x-rays, but I think generally there is a more common-sense approach to what is acceptable on x-ray than say five years ago. Is the whole of your draft Racing Post bonus-qualified? Bonus scheme thoughts? This scheme was set up to combat the ridiculously low prize-money levels, mainly in Britain. The scheme’s principle is a good one as

the person that buys and races these yearlings gets rewarded if the animal wins. Without these owners we would have no industry so it is vital they are looked after correctly. Any scheme which helps the bloodstock industry universally is a good one and should be supported by all breeders internationally. How have your graduates performed on the track this year? We are having a good 2012 on the track despite the poor summer, lead by the Mike de Kock-trained duel Group 1 winner Europa Point. There are some promising-looking twoyear-olds, including the Listed winner Roz and dual-Listed winner Castello Aragonese. They are just two of our many winning graduates from the Tattersalls October Yearling Sale 2011. Have you been busy with enquiries / visits ahead of the sale? Yes, we have had some enquiries and farm visits through September, and this normally gets busier the closer we get to the sales What’s the sales pitch for your draft? Our horses do the talking... Joking aside, the biggest job is getting the yearlings to the sales safely and in one piece! Any October sale survival tips? Smile – it could be worse, imagine if we were trying to sell 1,900 houses or apartments instead of yearlings…!

Ted Voute is offering seven yearlings in Book 1 and 28 in Book 2. His draft’s highlights are a brother to Motivator and a sister to Roderick O’Connor

Our own columnist Ted Voute has been selling yearlings at Tattersalls for the last 25 years. Here he selects the pick of his draft

around the same as most years. From the US, we have brought over a colt by Thewayyouare (Lot 680). He is a real twoyear-old type. He is out of a half-sister to a US Grade 2 winner and Across The Rhine, who won the Minstrel Stakes (G3). Due to the resistance in Europe to US-breds, we are not bringing over so many as before.

Tell us about your consignment for the October sale? Numbers? Which are your stand-outs lots? This year, we are selling all of our yearlings at Tattersalls, apart from one Exceed And Excel colt who went to DBS and fetched £35,000. We leave behind at Eydon Hall Farm 21 yearlings who have been raised to go directly into training, therefore we have a smaller but select group in Book 1 of seven yearlings – four are half-sisters or brothers to Group 1 winners, three of which are Classic winners. My stand-out colt is a full-brother to Motivator (Lot 173), the property of Deerfield Farm, and the filly is a sister to Roderick O’Connor (Lot 242). For Book 2 we have 28 yearlings, which is

Any young stallions particularly impressing you that you have seen this sales season so far / in your consignment? Obviously I will be the last to give up on Authorized, as we raised and sold him. Recently, he has had a good run of successes, including three Listed winners. Henrythenavigator has impressed me and the best homebred yearling we have is by him (Lot 803), while Sir Percy (we have Lot 593 by him) , for the money, looks potentially a good stallion, though he needs to get a Saturday horse before the sales season. And, of course, you can’t go wrong with a Dutch Art (Lot 711 and 841) everybody wants one!

What are your thoughts on the yearling sales so far this season? I have been involved with three sales in the US so far this year: Fasig-Tipton July, Saratoga and the New York-bred sale. All were tough going for everything below the top five to ten per cent. Some consignors have held on to their yearlings and will head to the breeze-ups. Of those that have sold, they have not done so profitably compared to the foal price, which, in hindsight, looks a stronger sale than yearlings this year so far. What are your thoughts ahead of the October Sale? Tattersalls is in the enviable position of having racecourse success coupled with a dominance of international buyers, who enjoy restocking predominantly through the Book 1 and Book 2 sales. The moons aligned last year and many members of both the Qatar and the Dubai / Abu Dhabi royal families were present at Book 1. Providing this occurs again, I am sure Book 1 with smaller numbers will retain or increase its averages and medians. Unfortunately Book 2 because of the

consignors q and a increased numbers may see the opposite effect. There is a mass of optimism though and, as a whole, the October sale should be strong. In your opinion, has the October sale got too big again? Yes, but what can be done about it? When did you begin prepping the draft? When will you ship to Newmarket? Book 1 horses started on August 6, though a few some had been in light prep a month before that. The Book 2 horses came in on 13th. This is just over a 60-day preparation schedule. We try to ship yearlings in to Tattersalls through an evening so that they settle quicker as night draws in. We are looking to move for Book 1 on Friday in order to be ready to show on Saturday. The Book 2 horses will move in on Thursday, October 11 to show the following day. I always try to have three full days prior to a sale day so the agents have time to inspect them properly Will you send your draft with x-rays? Traditionally, we have offered x-rays for

Book 1 and not in Book 2, but allow anyone to x-ray if they so wish. In the past through Book 1 many of the x-rays have not been read and I am more prone to bring them only for the obvious yearlings and leave the others till the sale. With just seven Book 1 horses it will not be difficult to take them if needed at the sale. Is the whole of your draft Racing Post bonus qualified? Bonus scheme thoughts? I am at risk of getting my knuckles wrapped on this hot subject… I sympathise with the farms such as Tally-Ho and Yeomanstown, which have to use a significant amount of money to qualify horses at not a very fluid time of year. However, in my role as a manager for Prince Faisal, I must say there is nothing more pleasing that getting that extra £10,000 prize-money for winning a race. We have 90 per cent of the draft qualified. The whole scheme produces a significant amount of money for our industry. Have you been busy with enquiries / visits ahead of the sale? Unfortunately, not in the UK but in the US

there seems to be a quiet optimism and business privately is on the increase. How have your graduates performed on the track this year? We have had (at the time of writing) 86 winners this year and 17 black-type races. I think my forté over the years has been bringing yearlings from the US to sell and / or race in Europe. A consistent number have won Grade 1s or been decent racehorses, including horses such as Russian Rhythm and Shamardal. In 2011, I sold a Stormy Atlantic filly who has been named Ollie Olga and who now looks quiet smart – she won Goodwood’s Prestige Stakes (G3) from Sky Lantern, who went on to win the Moyglare Sakes (G1). What’s the sales pitch for your draft? Quality not Quantity Any October sale survival tips? Don’t read a newspaper other than the Racing Post and do not look at the news on TV – invariably a major financial catastrophe happens in October! Enjoy every good moment as, in the long run, they are far and few between.

New kids on the Tattersalls Book 1 block Clairemont Stud and the Coulonces Consignment Clairemont Stud is a new name on the Tattersalls vendors’ list, but the people behind the operation are no greenhorns: agent Liam Norris, purchaser of the Oaks winner Dancing Rain, and his wife Jenny, previously manager of Oaklands Farm Tell us about Clairemont Stud… This is an exciting new bloodstock and breeding venture for Jenny and I, and Martin and Lee Taylor, the owners of Dancing Rain. We are intending to produce high-quality stock from Clairemont. The stud has been named after the area in which Martin and Lee grew up; let’s hope it’s lucky for us. Above, Liam Norris, and, below, Lot 246, the Exceed And Excel filly ex Selkirk Sky

These are mainly pin-hooks that you are selling this year… We have six fillies to offer, five of which we selected at auction or bought privately as foals in order to resell in Book 1. We wanted to bring a selection of classy fillies to the sale prepared by us in order to promote our new business venture. The first due in the ring is a High Chaparral filly (Lot 170), a half-sister to Fidelite, winner of the Prix Saint-Alary (G1) and from the family of Winged Love; we have one by this year’s successful sire Exceed And Excel (Lot 246); a bay filly (Lot 265) by Danehill Dancer, a sister to Railway Stakes (G2) fourth Choir from the good family of Amfortas, Virginia Waters, High Hawk and In The Wings. There was a pretty decent update to her pedigree in September when Chachamaidee won the Matron Stakes (G1). There is a lovely Teofilo filly (Lot 267), an Azamour filly out of a sister to the Gran Criterium (G1) winner Night Style and, finally, a filly by Galileo. She is a half-sister to the Group 3 winner Steinbeck, and out of a sister to the dam of the Fillies’ Mile (G1) and Coronation Stakes (G1) winner Nannina. You are selling all of them in Book 1? They are a smashing bunch of individuals with good pages and are all by proven sires. We did not want to split them into Book 1 and 2 as they complement each other well. Hopefully, we will have something for everybody. They are all fillies? We particularly like buying fillies. We have had success in the past and if things don’t go to plan at the sales, you always have the option of eventually breeding from them yourself or selling further down the line as broodmare prospects. All of these have good pedigrees and will be future broodmares. A well-bred and good-looking filly always has residual value. What’s the background?

consignors q and a and will manage Clairemont. We have always worked hard and have produced quality animals for sales, a number of whom have gone on to be black-type performers. I have managed a couple of farms in the past so to have the opportunity to do this together with Martin and Lee is fabulous.

Anna and Erienne Drion

This is your first consignment offered at Tattersalls, why have you decided to sell at Newmarket this year? It has always been a dream for us to sell in Newmarket, but, until this year, we never really felt we had the pedigrees to go to Book 1. This year my parents, Maja and Jan Sundstrom, Team Hogdala, asked us if we wanted to sell three of their best yearlings in Newmarket, so we said: ‘Of course!’ and have put together a five-strong draft. It will be a big challenge and I am very nervous... But we have a great team around us and without them it would not be possible. Tell us about your draft... We are bringing five very good yearlings, all from very good French breeders. The first through the ring for us will be Lot 107, a Sea The Stars half-brother to the Prix du Jockey-Club (G1) winner Le Havre. Team Hogdala bred Le Havre and we sold him at the Arqana August sale to Jean-Claude Rouget for €100,000. We have a half-brother to last year’s Prix Vermeille (G1) runner-up Testosterone by last year’s champion freshman sire Turtle Bowl (Lot 527), and a Henrythenavigator cousin to this year’s star juvenile, the Prix Morny (G1) winner, Reckless Abandon (Lot 263). The Prix Morny win is a catalogue update, which is exciting.

www.internationalthoroughbred.net

What about the stud? The stud is near Whitchurch in Hampshire. It is a 105-acre farm in stunning countryside and although it used to be a sheep and poultry farm, it is nestled in an affluent horse-rearing area. The location is perfect and the ground has not had horses on it. We want to develop a fresh nursery for youngstock and producing

When we interviewed Anna and Etienne Drion two years ago for our French Arqana feature, the couple said then that they hoped the Coulonces Consignment would sell at Newmarket in the near future. Well, here they are with a five-lot draft in Book 1. The colt is out of Silver Bark, who is a half-sister to Sant Elena, the dam of Reckless Abandon, and a sister to the dual US Grade 1 winner, Ticker Tape. Lot 116 is a colt by After Market (Storm Cat) and out of a Mineshaft sister to the

top-class racehorses. By coincidence, I grew up in the area so know it well. Are you buying at the sale? Yearlings will always be looked at and if I think they can be bought at the right money, very much so. I am always on the look out for the next Dancing Rain.

Breeders’ Cup winner Wilko, while Lot 251 is a filly by champion southern-hemisphere sire Fastnet Rock and from the family of Silvano. She is already named Miss Rocky. Are they all French premium qualified? The four colts all have premiums. How did you find the Arqana August? We had an amazing sale and ended up as the fourth-leading consignor by aggregate. Our consignment averaged €91,000 and our top price was €260,000 given for a colt by Teofilo. I think it is a result of being strict with selection and, of course, having each horse right on the day. It’s all about attention to detail. When will you ship the horses? We leave France on October 3, which will give the horses plenty of time to settle.

First-season sire

ne of the mysteries of the bloodstock markets has to be its infatuation with first-season sires. Inevitably 90 per cent of new sires disappoint, yet buyers still covet to the next big thing. I analysed the commercial returns for the

Methodology and findings

My analysis was based on stallions who retired to stud in 2006 and who remained standing at stud in the UK and Ireland for the next four years. The averages for their yearlings sold at public auction were then plotted from 2008-2011. Stud fees and sales averages were converted to a common unit (in this cases UK guineas) and an amount of 7,000gns was allowed for upkeep. The average sales price of each crop of yearlings was then divided by the production cost of those yearlings (stud fee+annual upkeep). The results show that the first crop of foals were the most profitable with an average sale price that was 1.42 times the production cost, while the third crop was the worse achieving only 1.07 times over production cost. The year three and four results are, of course, influenced by racecourse performance by the first two and three-year-olds for those stallions. In that respect it is no surprise to see Dubawi and Shamardal show positive results, as amongst the selected stallions they best fit into the 10 per cent category of successful stallions.

the stats man The “Keynesian beauty contest” theory was proved at the DBS Premier Sale where a colt by first-season sire Mastercraftsman fetched the top price of £185,000

It is acknowledged that there are a number of weaknesses in the above analysis. The sample size is quite small, but reflects the fact that some sires who started covering in 2006 either died, were sold or did not have enough sales horses to provide four years’ results. In addition, there was considerable movement in the €/£ exchange rate over the period and this had a significant impact on the results. Ideally, an adjustment would also be made for the “trend” in the overall yearling markets in those particular years. The chosen upkeep cost of 7,000gns is also quite arbitrary and does not allow for the depreciation in the value of the mare. Finally, it would perhaps be worthwhile to also look at medians rather than averages to negate the possibility of associated parties paying very high prices for stallion offspring to achieve headline grabbing top prices that also increase averages.

The Keynesian beauty contest

As far as I am aware the economist John Maynard Keynes did not write about horseracing, but had he done so he would surely have recognised some of his theories in operation in the bloodstock market. One of his theories became known as the “Keynesian beauty contest”. This described a fictional newspaper contest in which entrants are asked to choose from a set of six photographs of women who are the “most beautiful”. Those who picked the most

“

Weaknesses in methodology

popular face are then eligible for a prize. In terms of a winning strategy, Keynes wrote: “It is not a case of choosing those [faces] that, to the best of one’s judgement, are really the prettiest, nor even those that average opinion genuinely thinks the prettiest. We have reached the third degree where we devote our intelligences to anticipating what average opinion expects the average opinion to be”. Commercial breeders are involved in such a game. They may not particularly really, really like the first-season sires they are using, but their own beliefs don’t matter, it is all about trying to guess what everyone else thinks and what everyone else will think.

They are short-term investors who exit before the fundamental value of the yearling (i.e. its racing merit) is known. Keynes also wrote: “Successful investing is anticipating the anticipations of others.” When it comes to breeding it seems that people think, that people think it is worth paying more for the latest sires. All of this irrational behaviour is possibly explained by the prejudices of trainers. As trainers handle more bad horses than good ones and one bad horse can turn them off a sire, then they are likely to dislike a lot of sires! With new sires, trainers have not had the chance to form such prejudices.

Conclusions

It’s not easy being a commercial breeder. Survival requires profit and that requires suitable stallion selection. The statistics shown can help in that stallion selection. If breeders are to be tempted to use third and fourth-season sires then breeders should be looking for substantial discounts on the published fees before the use of such stallions becomes attractive. The continued support of unproven stallions will continue as long as it is profitable. I will leave the final word to the great Keynes, who had sage advice, relevant to any breeders thinking about challenging the madness of the markets preference for unproven sires. He wrote: “The markets can stay irrational, longer than you can stay solvent”.

His first million dollar baby

Snitzerland becomes sire Snitzel’s first runner to break the seven-figure barrier THE OUTSTANDING filly Snitzerland became the first million dollar earner for her sire Snitzel when she showed her class to land the Group 2 Danehill Stakes at Flemington in September. She confirmed her position as the top three-year-old sprinting filly in Australia with a gutsy victory against the males down the straight 1,200m course. It was Snitzerland’s third Group win and her second this season after her brilliant first-up victory in the Group 3 San Domenico Stakes at Rosehill on August 18. Bred by Arrowfield, she was sold out of the Bellerive Stud draft for A$125,000 as a yearling in Melbourne in 2011 where she was purchased by Black Caviar’s part-owner Neil Werrett and Steve McCann. Trainer Gerald Ryan has prepared 18 individual winners by his former stable star Snitzel. He confirmed that the Group 1 Coolmore Stud Stakes at Flemington on November 3 will be Snitzerland’s major spring target. The filly is one of nine stakes winners by last season’s champion third-season sire Snitzel. Her dam Monte Rosa (Fraar) is an unraced sister to the Group 1-placed and Group 3 winner Nina Haraka. Monte Rosa is also the dam of the stakes-placed Red Dress Marley (Hussonet). Nina Haraka is the dam of Extension Of Time (Dash For Cash), a Listed winner and Group 1 placed.

Other recent stakes winners from the family include the Group 1 winner Aloha and the stakes winners Mirror Mirror and Instalment. Arrowfield sold Snitzerland’s half-brother by Hussonet for A$140,000 at the Sydney Classic Sale this year. Snitzel stands at Arrowfield Stud at a fee of A$33,000. He has had six stakes winners and 18 stakes performers this year, heads the Australian third-season sires’ list and is currently lying second on the two-year-old sires’ list.

Iffraaj grabs a Listed one-two in New Zealand Young sire Iffraaj was represented by his first southern-hemisphere stakes winner at Wanganui, New Zealand at the beginning of September when Karaka graduate Twilight Granita led home a quinella for her sire in the Listed Fordell O'Leary Fillies’ Stakes. Iffraaj, Europe’s 2010 champion first-season sire, has had eight individual three-year-old winners so far this southern hemisphere season. Trained by Murray Baker and Andrew Forsman, Twilight Granita had to fight to get the better of Kisses, winning in a tight finish with just a nose separating the pair. Twilight Granita went into the race a maiden, but she has been a picture of consistency with her eight starts bringing six third placings, including in the Listed Great Northern Foal Stakes, the Listed Champagne Stakes and Listed Wentwood Grange Stakes. Bred and offered by Lime Country Thoroughbreds, Twilight Granita was bought by Baker Racing for NZ$41,000 at the 2011 Karaka Select Sale.

Tale Of The Cat filly takes herself to top of the pecking order for Karaka Million The race for the NZ$1 million Karaka Million is underway with Dancer’s Tale winning the first two-year-old race of the season at Wanganui. The Order of Entry for the 2013 Karaka Million – New Zealand’s richest race – is determined by prize-money won, and Dancer’s Tale collected NZ$7,810 and took an early lead on the board. The Wanganui race drew a field of seven two-year-olds, six of whom are nominated for the 2013 Karaka Million. In the first leg of a winning double at the meeting for trainers Murray Baker and Andrew Forsman, Dancer's Tale (Tale Of The Cat) raced prominently in the straight and produced a late turn-of-foot in the final 100m to defeat fellow Karaka

graduate Precious Sophia (Cecconi) by a short head. She is raced by NZ Thoroughbred Holdings Ltd, Graeme Rogerson and the Whitby Bloodstock Trust, and was bred by Graham and Helen-Gaye Bax with Go Bloodstock New Zealand. She was purchased by Adrian Clark’s Challenge Racehorse Syndications from Blandford Lodge for NZ$65,000 at the 2012 Karaka Select Sale. The NZ$1 million Karaka Million is a two-year-old incentive race for graduates of New Zealand Bloodstock’s National Yearling Sales. Held at Ellerslie on the eve of the National Yearling Sales on January 27, the Karaka Million is New Zealand’s richest race and carries Restricted Listed status.

The Bjorn Baker-trained youngster won the 800m trial from Sovereign Bid, a brother to Group 1 winner Regal Cheer. Charlie Chopsticks, the first foal out of Group 3-winning King Of Kings mare Queen Of Queens, is the first Australianbred by Myboycharlie to appear in public.

Lonhro back in town for Pierro’s seventh successive victory Lonhro is back at Darley for the spring breeding season after a first term in the US where he covered 120 mares, including 80 from outside breeders. He is to shuttle to the US for the next three years. The son of Octagonal, who was a Horse of the Year in 2004 and took Australian champion sire honours in 2010-11, was part of the package bought by Sheikh Mohammed when he purchased Ingham’s Woodlands breeding and racing concern. His latest star performer Pierro stretched his winning sequence to seven in the Run To The Rose at Rosehill so tightening his

stranglehold on the Caulfield Guineas. He is now also favourite for the Cox Plate. The colt was bred by Darley Australia and has been through the sales ring twice. He was offered first as a foal when he was bought by Musk Creek Farm for A$115,000 at the 2010 Magic Millions National Weanling Sale. Musk Creek then reoffered him in 2011 at the Magic Millions Gold Coast Yearling Sale where he was purchased by Greg and Donna Kolivos, clients of the Gai Waterhouse stable, for A$230,000. Pierro has now won all seven of his career starts and has prize-money earnings of

A$3,021,950. His wins include last year’s juvenile triple crown of the Golden Slipper, the Sires’ Produce Stakes and the Champagne Stakes. Pierro’s dam is the winning Irish-bred Daylami mare Miss Right Note, who was imported to Australia in 2006. She has a yearling filly by Lonhro and was covered by Street Cry last year. His second dam Sky Song (Sadler’s Wells) has produced three winners from three runners, including the dual Group 1 winner Laverock, a three-quarters relation to Pierro by Octagonal.

Mare of the month

For Evva Silca (Piccolo – Silca-Cisa (Hallgate))

Meiner Eternel: wins a Group 3 in Japan. Mick Channon has trained much of the family, but this one got away

and was eventually exported to South Africa in 1991, the same year that his most talented offspring made her racecourse debut. From four starts over 5f with Mick Channon as a two-year-old, Silca-Cisa managed a narrow victory at Redcar in October. At three, she started eight times, winning a mid-season handicap at Goodwood over 5f before showing decent form in two Listed contests and then in the Ayr Gold Cup. In a bid to secure black-type, Silca-Cisa returned to the races at four and finished a close second to Regal Chimes in the Listed Cammidge Trophy at Doncaster in March. Having failed to show her true colours in the Listed Abernant Stakes and then in a minor race at Chester later in the season, the decision was made to retire her. Silca-Cisa may not have set the racecourse alight, but Aldridge quickly struck gold with his

It was Silca-Cisa’s second foal, a daughter of Inchinor named Golden Silca, who became Aldridge’s poster girl

t is hardly a revelation that racing is a truly international sport, but the point was hammered home in early September when the two-year-old Meiner Eternel, an Irish-bred and sired colt out of a British mare and sold at a British sale, triumphed in a Group 3 in Japan. The son of the freshman sire Tamayuz was purchased for 150,000gns in Book 1 of last year’s Tattersalls October Yearling Sale by Big Red Farm, and now races on behalf of K Thoroughbred Club Ruffian. Trained by Masato Nishizono, the colt made a successful racecourse debut before progressing to the Kokura Nisai Stakes (G3) run at Kokura racecourse, where he triumphed by the narrowest margin, keeping a nose in front of Crown Regalo in the 6f turf contest. Bred by Jimmy Murphy’s Redpender Stud in County Kilkenny, Meiner Eternel hails from a British-developed family, being a grandson of the top producer Silca-Cisa. Silca-Cisa was bred in Britain by Eddie Aldridge out of his Grundy mare Princess Silca Key. Princess Silca Key, herself out of a half-sister to the speedy juvenile Labista, won one of her two starts when in the care of David Elsworth, scoring in a minor 16-runner event over 7f at Brighton as a three-year-old. Retired to the paddocks at the end of that season, Princess Silca Key was sent to the Vaigly Great stallion Hallgate. Despite having a hat-trick of Group 3 victories to his name, including the Palace House Stakes, as well as a placing in the Prix de l’Abbaye (G1), Hallgate stood for modest fees

mare. Her first foal, a Reprimand colt name Muso Corto, won four times in Italy, but it was SilcaCisa’s second foal, a daughter of Inchinor named Golden Silca, who became Aldridge’s poster girl. She followed her dam into training with Channon, and

quickly demonstrated both her class and her tough attitude. At two, she ran eight times, taking the honours in a Group 2 in Germany and following up with a head verdict in the Mill Reef Stakes (G2). She also finished third in the Prix Morny (G1) behind Orpen. At three she was runner-up in both the Irish 1,000 Guineas and the Coronation Stakes (G1) in the colours of her breeder. She ran until she was a sevenyear-old adding to her black-type tally in a globe-trotting career that spanned seven countries, 44 starts and eight victories. Silca-Cisa was quick to prove herself no one-hit wonder as a broodmare, and her record currently stands at seven winners from nine runners, five of whom have earned black-type success. Silca’s Sister (Inchinor) went one better than her older sister when triumphing in the Prix Morny (G1), while Silca Legend (Efisio) was Listed-placed in Sweden, the

mare of the month

nsurprisingly, with each new stakes performer, Silca-Cisa earned herself a more expensive mating: she has a three-year-old filly named Prime Run, who is by Dansili, in training with David Simcock, a two-year-old colt by Oasis Dream named Silca’s Dream, and she was bred to Exceed And Excel last year. The respective coverings cost £75,000, £30,000 and £12,000. For all of her talented siblings, it is ironic that For Evva Silca, the dam of Meiner Eternel, was one of the least well-performed of Silca-Cisa’s offspring. The daughter of Piccolo was fourth on her debut at two behind her top-class stablemate Queen’s Logic. She did not keep such talented company again being well-beaten in three subsequent starts. Sent to the Tattersalls July Sale in 2002, For Evva Silca’s talented family presumably made her a reasonably eligible catch and she was bought for the respectable price of 33,000gns by Emerald Bloodstock on behalf of Murphy. The filly had four starts in Ireland, but never finished better than ninth or beaten less than 16l. In 2003, For Evva Silca’s new owner admitted defeat and

prolific Green Manalishi (Green Desert) was a multiple Listed sprint winner as well as a very talented handicapper, and Silca Chiave (Pivotal) narrowly missed out on Group 1 glory when shortheaded by Miss Beatrix in the Moyglare Stud Stakes (G1) and when third in the Cheveley Park Stakes (G1).

Her 2009 produce, an Excellent Art filly called Know, mirrored her younger halfbrother’s subsequent achievement when bought for 150,000gns at Tattersalls October Book 1. She was given one run by Aiden O’Brien at two and was returned to the ring, going through the Goffs November Breeding Stock Sale where she was bought by Lisieux Stud for €6,000. At this point the For Evva Silca production line was not, after Warsaw’s strong start, looking overly promising, and

Meiner Eternel’s six-figure price was a result of his good looks, that depth of pedigree we have reviewed as well as having commercial first-season sire as a Dad. In 2011, For Evva Silca was barren to Teofilo, has a Rip Van Winkle colt foal a foot and visited Iffraaj in the spring. What’s chances a meeting with Tamayuz is back on her dance card in the near future? Especially so if Meiner Eternel goes on to bigger and better things.

sent her to the paddocks a non-winner with no better result than that first time out fourth. Fortunately for all involved, For Evva Silca’s first foal produced more talent than his dam. Her first born, produced from a tryst with Danehill Dancer, was picked by John Magnier for 250,000gns in Book 1 of the 2006 Tattersalls October Yearling Sale. Named Warsaw, he won a Listed contest at two in Ireland and was highly-tried before going on to further successes in Dubai. For Evva Silca’s progeny have continued to enjoy success in the sales ring – her Refuse To Bend filly Varsa (did not win from three starts) was purchased for €90,000 at the Goffs Orby Sale. In 2007, Rugged Up appeared, a filly by Marju, who has not run and in 2008 Awaroa, a Cape Cross filly, who also has not yet graced a racecourse either.

photo of the month Here’s looking at you kid! Lot 331, a colt by Medaglia D’Oro out of the Unbridled Song mare Sonoma Song, shares a joke with his Pauls Mill groom at the Keeneland September Sale. The yearling was bought by Dr. Masatake Iida for $75,000, sadly some way adrift of the sire’s sale average of $229,444
