first word

Paul Haigh reviews the international racing year and sees that 2012 was governed by...

...A tale of two horses “

America’s anti-Tapeta lobby had a field day when both the champion mare Royal Delta and Game On Dude finished down the field in Dubai this year

“

he 2012 international racing year has been dominated by the exploits of two all-time great horses, one in the northern hemisphere, one in the southern. Neither, however, produced their most impressive performances overseas. Frankel never raced outside England. Black Caviar’s raid on Royal Ascot did result in victory, but it was the least convincing of her 23-race unbeaten career and, in view of her loss of condition which was another result of her gruelling trip, connections may very well wish now that they hadn’t come. About Frankel there is very little left to be said. Maybe when the shock and awe of his brilliance is dimmed a bit by distance we can revisit his own unbeaten record and try to decide again whether he was in fact the finest racehorse there has ever been. There is a very plausible case to be made for the Australian

mare as the finest sprinter, but then she never met Frankel at a sprint distance. It is hard to imagine even she at her best could have lived with him if she had. Frankel did not travel, and the only time that Black Caviar journeyed she put in her worst-ever performance

The first major event of 2012 was, as always, Dubai World Cup night. It’s a few years now since a winner of the main event could lay any sort of claim to being a world champion, and greatly though Monterosso’s game victory delighted the party’s host, not even Sheikh Mohammed himself could have wondered for long whether the winner of the world’s richest prize was likely to break that sequence this year. Monterosso is a decent horse who obviously acts very well on Tapeta. Not much more needs to be said about him than that. A major feature of March 31’s festivities were the roars of indignation that emerged from US racing chat-rooms at the total eclipse once again of their representatives in the race. Starting with the great Cigar, the US won eight of the first 14 runnings of the Dubai World Cup, but that was when it was run on the sands of Nad Al Sheba. America’s anti-Tapeta lobby had a field day when both the champion mare Royal Delta and Game On Dude, finished down the field this year. The main point of contributors was that the Michael Dickinson-developed surface bears little similarity to dirt and that for American dirt horses Dubai is no longer worth the trip. It must be hard when you’ve got used to picking up the fat end of $6,000,000 to get used again to the fact that it’s not going to be lying on the table for one of you to pick up each year, but that’s the way things in Dubai are starting to look for US horsemen. The two richest races on turf both went to Europe. Cityscape, trained by Roger Charlton for Prince Khalid Abdulla bolted up in the Dubai Duty Free; and the tough French gelding Cirrus Des Aigles, who’d beaten So You Think in last year’s British Champion Stakes, had just too much for the dual Breeders’ Cup Turf winner St Nicholas Abbey in the Sheema Classic. April in Hong Kong saw the Audemars Piguet Queen Elizabeth II Cup go to the Japanese. Rulership, who’d finished only 2l behind that country’s champion, Orfevre,

“

The 2012 Arc saw another remarkable phenomenon: a horse outclassing the opposition but still failing to win

“

in the Takarazuka Kinen, outclassed his opponents. The BMW Champions Mile on the same card went for the second year running to the John Moore-trained ex-British Xtension, who’d finished well behind Cityscape at Meydan. This time young rider James Doyle slightly missed the break on Cityscape and the Abdulla horse was never able to find a position from which he might win. The Kentucky Derby was won by I’ll Have Another, trained by Doug O’Neill and ridden by Mario Guiterrez, who wore down the favourite Bodemeister in a race run at such a ferocious early pace the first quarter was run in 22.32secs. The result was repeated in the Preakness, but American hopes of a first Triple Crown winner since Affirmed 34 years ago were dashed yet again when the winner of the first two Classics injured himself and had to be retired before the Belmont. In Singapore, a week after the Kentucky Derby, the Singapore Airlines International Cup was run on rain-softened ground that ideally suited the Carlos Laffon-Parias-trained French challenger Chinchon, who’d been an also-ran on firmer ground in the APQEII at Sha Tin. If any further evidence were needed of the fact that going is the most crucial determinant of the outcomes of horse races it was provided by the other Group 1 on the card, the KrisFlyer International Sprint. Kieren Fallon found the favourite Krypton Factor, who’d looked a monster on Meydan’s Tapeta just a month earlier, could never go a step and was out of the frame behind the Patrick Shaw-trained local horse Ato, who was substituting for his trainer’s injured champion, Rocket Man. Back in Britain at Epsom the Derby went to the unbeaten 2000 Guineas winner Camelot. With a Triple Crown that had almost lapsed through lack of contenders, there was talk of a “showdown” with Frankel. Fortunately for Camelot, he never had to endure that fate. Royal Ascot enhanced its already exalted position by playing host to the two best horses in the world. A below-par Black Caviar did no more than scrape home in the Golden Jubilee, but everything else that took place at the five-day meeting stood in the shadow of Frankel’s almost inconceivable brilliance in the opening Group 1, the Queen Anne Stakes. In thrashing Excelebration by no less than 11l Frankel produced what was almost certainly the best miling performance of all time. The Aidan O’Brien-trained runner-up went on to win three Group 1’s of his own, but every

time he met Frankel, five in all, he was utterly humiliated. At the same course in July, the Eclipse winner Nathaniel was just thwarted by the 5l winner of the 2011 Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe, Danedream, in his attempt to win the King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes for the second year running with the (some reckoned) unlucky St Nicholas Abbey running on strongly into third. It looked a significant race in terms of the middle-distance championship of Europe until Frankel reappeared in the Juddmonte International a month later. In his long-awaited first step-up to ten and a half furlongs the paragon treated St Nicholas Abbey with absolute contempt, going past him on the bridle and stretching 7l clear of the broken-spirited dual Breeders’ Cup hero, who just failed to hold off Farrh for second place.

anedream herself was thwarted by quarantine restrictions from defending her title in the Arc, a race which, bookies insisted, would have seen Frankel start at around 4-1 ON if he’d been asked to run. In the event the 2012 Arc saw another remarkable phenomenon: a horse outclassing the opposition but still failing to win. The idiosyncratic Orfevre strolled past his rivals and opened up a 3l gap before deciding he couldn’t be bothered anymore and allowing the unfancied Solemia, trained by Carlos Laffon-Parias, to get back up and head him near the line. Orfevre’s previous jockey Kenichi Ikezoe, who’d been replaced by Christophe Soumillon after Orfevre had once embarrassingly chosen to pull himself up halfway through a race, may have derived some grim satisfaction from the debacle, but Soumillon was as powerless as he had been and Japan’s wait for the race it

covets most goes on. Camelot, who’d failed a few days earlier to complete the first British Triple Crown since Nijinsky’s, was asked to run again, but could only finish seventh. The Melbourne Cup went to an ex-British horse this year, the Irish-bred son of Montjeu, Green Moon. It will surely only be a matter of time before Australian trainers in a racing culture dominated by sprinters look only to Europe for potential winners of their country’s most famous race. West Coast Breeders’ Cups are difficult for European raiders, and there was little surprise in what looked a slightly substandard bunch of Europeans failing to cut much ice at Santa Anita, although George Vancouver’s victory in the Juvenile provided a highlight for Ballydoyle, for which, for business reasons, the meeting remains, in spite of the self-destructive dilution caused by its extension to two days, an annual pilgrimage. St Nicholas Abbey ran third in his bid for a Turf hat trick. It was no surprise to see Excelebration, after a long season and successive pulpings by Frankel, fail to do himself justice when finishing fourth in the Turf Mile. Otherwise the Americans ruled unchallenged. There is just one major event left in the 2012 international calendar: the Hong Kong International Races, now sponsored by Longines which has taken over from Cathay Pacific, on December 9. From an international perspective the most interesting aspect of the HKIR may be the performance of Cirrus Des Aigles. This will be the gelding’s fourth tilt at the Hong Kong Cup. He’s finished fifth twice and seventh once, although never beaten more than a couple of lengths or so. His reputation in the Far East is nowhere near as high as it is elsewhere because there he never gets the soft ground he needs to show his best form. His rise to the top of the international rankings suggests, however, that an annual visit to the Orient is beneficial to a thoroughbred, and trainer Corine Barande-Barbe is clearly unwilling to give up on Hong Kong’s greatest prize. In the Qipco British Champion Stakes the Sheema Classic winner finished only a length and three quarters behind the invincible one who was running his final race, admittedly under conditions that were perfect for Cirrus Des Aigles and less so for his insurmountable obstacle, who also missed the break. So, in a way, at least he brings Frankel form to Hong Kong. Ah, there’s that name again. Will racing ever be the same again now he’s gone?

Frankel at stud: his £125,000 fee puts him behind only Galileo and Fastnet Rock

Frankel becomes the highest-priced first-season European sire ever

he fee for Frankel, the world’s best racehorse of 2011 and 2012 and a two-time Cartier Horse of the Year, has been set by Banstead Manor Stud at £125,000. It is the highest first-season fee given to a European stallion and the first to command a six-figure sum since the 1980s. Dancing Brave, with whom Frankel shares the joint-highest Timeform rating, retired to Dalham Hall for the 1987 season after his three-year-old career at a fee of £120,000. Also owned by Prince Khalid Abdualla, Dancing Brave was syndicated with an estimated value of £14m. At stud he failed to build on his racing career – in 1987 he was found to be suffering from Marie’s Disease and had fertility problems in 1988. In 1991, he was exported to Japan to stand at Shizunai Stallion Station and died there as a 16-year-old. Frankel’s own grandsire Sadler’s Wells, winner of the Irish 2,000 Guineas, the Eclipse and the Irish Champion Stakes, did, as we all know, enjoy a rather different career path at stud. Huge confidence was placed in his likely ability as a stallion from the outset, the son of Northern Dancer retiring to Coolmore in 1984 at a fee of Ir125,000.

That pricing decision proved to be correct as in the stallion’s first crop of two-year-olds his sons Prince Of Dance and Scenic dead-heated in the 1988 Dewhurst Stakes (G1). The 14-time champion sire went on to produce six Group 1 winners in his first crop and is now the sire of an incredible 73 winners of 131 races at the highest level. The brilliant, but ill-fated, Derby winner Shergar retired to Ballymany Stud at Ir80,000, while, two years ago, fellow Derby winner and six-time Group 1 victor Sea The Stars set out at Gilltown Stud at €85,000. Frankel’s fee prices him only behind his own sire Galileo and Fastnet Rock, both of whom are listed as private. The Australian champion stood at A$220,000 (£144,000) for 2012’s southern hemisphere season. Philip Mitchell, Juddmonte Farms manager said: “The fee for Frankel reflects his merits as being perhaps the greatest racehorse we have ever witnessed. “He is by Galileo, who is now recognised as the best sire in the world, and out of Kind, a winner of six races (from 5f to 7f) and herself a daughter of one of the most influential stallions in the history of thoroughbred breeding, Danehill.”

No doubts...

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

exington in the autumn is always littered with spectacular arrays of colour from the changing trees. This November, the view at the Fasig-Tipton and Keeneland sales was no different. Since opening the catalogue I was relishing the chance to see 16 Group 1 winners at Fasig-Tipton. I did worry that there could not possibly be that many people who could afford to buy so many animals at one auction, let alone over the two sales, but I did not reckon for Mandy Pope from Florida, who has been buying horses for years but usually more at the $100,000 level. She didn’t just buy one either and went from Fasig to Keeneland to continue stocking up at the highest level. Because of the Breeders’ Cup on the Saturday a handful of fillies were not scheduled to arrive until Sunday afternoon, and hence the day before the first day the grounds were mobbed as it appeared every serious buyer was in Lexington. The Japanese, who have been strong this year, were out in force. To see that many high-class mares and fillies in one place was an amazing education, and, on the whole, I was surprised how correct each one was – with homebreds it can be quite a different story. These mares as it turned out, though, were mostly sales horses, bought correct in the first place and purchased for people who only enjoy racing and don’t want to get involved with breeding. It was satisfying viewing and the US sales proved that there is economic reasoning buying horses to race with a pay-out in sight at the end of the career. The owners in the US who get it right buy good yearlings or two-year-olds who have a tremendous outlet, and can make money other other than prize-money. Buying and then selling at that level legitimises their racing stable and the investment. The top of the market was amazingly strong and, as always when you step into the sales ring with a nice weanling, it was very strong, mostly driven in the US by the racing people out-bidding the pinhookers. Two freshman sires particularly impressed me: Quality Road and Blame. I would really like to see some Blame offspring race on the turf in Europe – the ones I saw had that “Roberto” look to them. “Unopened packages” as I call them – fillies straight from the track or mares in foal for the first time – were in demand, but the more foals a mare had had, then quite often the bigger the disappointment in the ring. In many cases there was often no market at all, even though, time and time again, these mares are invariably dams of a stakes winner, it is the same ordinary winners who are the money-makers. Can we draw similarities to the US and European market in any meaningful way? Probably not, but a cursory glance at the Tattersall’s December Breeding Stock catalogue makes me think that, with fewer star lots than in the US, there will be fireworks at the top as the Qatar Royal family continue to buy for the farm in France. Below this mesmerising level, the “unopened packages” will be strong, but when it comes to selling the perfectly good-producing mare, it might be quite lonely standing in AA and BB boxes. I hope I am wrong!

the news

Tattersalls and Osarus form a new “strategic alliance” Tattersalls and young French auctioneer Osarus are developing what has been termed “a strategic alliance” in which Tattersalls will provide logistical and personnel support to Osarus

for yearling inspections and auctioneering, as well as acting in an administrative and advisory role. Osarus, based in the south-west of France, came into existence in 2008 and staged a programme of four sales in 2012. Emmanuel Viaud, managing director, said: “The strategic alliance between ourselves and Tattersalls is a huge endorsement for Osarus and for the French

bloodstock industry. We are a young, ambitious team with a vision based on our confidence in the French breeding industry and we are delighted that Tattersalls shares our vision.” Edmund Mahony of Tattersalls added: “Osarus is a French company working hard for French breeders and we hope that our new arrangement will allow them to continue to develop and build upon the success that they have worked so hard to achieve.

“Our involvement with Osarus reflects the importance that Tattersalls has always placed on building and strengthening relationships in key markets around the world. “The French racing and breeding industry is well structured and well funded and the close ties between Tattersalls and Osarus emphasise the high regard in which we hold both Osarus and the wider French industry.”

order to include the Japan Cup, Melbourne Spring Carnival and Hong Kong International races. Racing needs a single champion in each category and not become like boxing or tennis with multiple and competing championships; though Frankel would still win anyway. The sales season is gradually drawing to a close with the end-of-term party at Deauville in the second week of December. The spotlight is now on foals and breeding stock. Keeneland was not as strong as last year when two significant dispersal sales swelled the totals. However, Fasig-Tipton sold the third-highest distaff lot when Havre De Grace made $10 million. She was bought by Mandy Pope, whose family developed a highly successful retail store business from their base in North Carolina. In Europe, interest will focus on the 26 stallions with first-season foals. Equiano, Lope De Vega, Makfi, Paco Boy, Rip Van Winkle,

he year’s final column sees little change in weather patterns with sweeping clouds dumping rain countrywide. Migrating birds have long left for warmer climes, but hopefully the meteorologist predictions of a bitterly cold winter will be as wide of the mark as their barbecue summer prophecy. Frankel dominated the Cartier Awards in much the same way as he has been racing’s sunshine over the last three years. Amazingly, Flora Balding, aged two, was able to identify him from the cover of the book that grandfather Ian is reviewing for the Racing Post. Aunty Clare will have to guard her position on Channel 4 Racing. Lee Mottershead made a good case for modifying the Cartier Awards to occupy a similar place here as the Eclipse Awards hold in the US. I have long felt that they should take place in January in

have occured in the last 24 years. Australia is still tempted by the dirt-bred stallion, even without having the significant All-Weather programme that exists in Europe. End Sweep, Unbridled Song and Orientate all bear testament to the struggle they have had, even with a good mare band in support. It remains to be seen if Bernardini, Street Sense, Hard Spun, Henny Hughes, Congrats and Uncle Mo can reverse this trend. One very interesting tool to aid in mating plans has been developed by scientists working on genome projects, which study an organism’s hereditary information. Dr Emmeline Hill has fronted the Equinome project in Ireland since 2009. Working closely with trainer Jim Bolger, who is on the company’s board, she has come up with some fascinating insights into the inheritance of speed and stamina when analysing the myostatin gene.

Cartier Awards 2012 Unsurprisingly, it was “Frankel night”for a second year in a row at the Cartier Award Ceremony, held at the Dorchester Hotel on November 13 and hosted by Harry Herbert, Cartier’s racing consultant, and presented by Arnaud Bamberger, executive chairman, Cartier UK. Frankel won the award for the older Horse of the Year and the Horse of the Year award, while the Award of Merit was given to Team Frankel, a combination of Juddmonte’s stud and Sir Henry Cecil’s racing staff and the managers, who have masterminded and cared for the son of Galileo so impeccably throughout his career. Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber congratulates his wife Madeleine after she received the Cartier award for The Fugue, who won the leading three-year-old filly

A single blood test can identify whether a horse is carrying CC,TT or CT genes, where the first is speed and the second stamina. It has helped Jim Bolger significantly decrease the percentage of stayers he is breeding. It would probably help decide if Frankel would be an ideal mate for Black Caviar, or whether you would just produce a slow sprinter! Hill acknowledges the importance of environmental factors, epigenetics, as well. Class can also be determined and hopefully it will soon identify the markers for OCD, bleeding and wind-deformity genes. Widden and Swettenham Studs in Australia are both using the Equinome information on their stallions. Stratum’s CC speed is a significant factor in Australia where 35 per cent of Group 1s are over distances of 5f-7f as opposed to 12 per cent in the UK and Ireland. The test also throws light onto the age-old question of why siblings differ so much in racing ability. Even my infinitely wiser

sibling and more successful thoroughbred breeder (Emma Balding) was impressed by Dr Hills’s presentation courtesy of Tracy and Charlie Vigors. She only slightly tarnished her geeky side on the way home when she said she wasn’t sure of the scientology of the project. I quickly reassured her that I would get Tom Cruise’s e-mail address for some meaningful dialogue. Only three new Flat stallions covered this year in the UK, the same number as new stallions in France, compared to 12 in Ireland which included Pour Moi, Dream Ahead, Canford Cliffs, and So You Think. However, the ten due to start covering in Britain next year include Frankel, Nathaniel, Mayson, Sepoy, Bated Breath, Harbour Watch and Foxwedge. The horse that impressed me as an individual and when I saw him race in Australia was Sepoy and he looks great value at roughly a third of his fee in New South Wales. It was a shame that he did not perform here or Dubai.

JP Magnier collects the award for Camelot, the leading three-year-old colt Arnaud Bamberger presents the award for the leading sprinter to Claire O’Donnell, daughter of Black Caviar’s part-owner Pam Hawkes. “We are delighted to have our horse recognised on the international stage,” said O’Donnell

Fort holds out for sire E Dubai Alan Porter takes an in-depth pedigree review of the Breeders’ Cup winners

Photography courtesy of the Breeders’ Cup

nder-appreciated might be the right word to describe both Fort Larned and his sire E Dubai prior to this year’s Breeders’ Cup Classic (G1). In mid-June, we wrote a blog piece on E Dubai, who really stood out to us as a value-for-money sire, and we noted that Fort Larned, despite being a generally unheralded horse, had three of the top eight Beyer Speedfigures of the year. Then Fort Larned had only a Grade 3 victory to his name, his rise to prominence being somewhat delayed by a detour to the turf for a significant part of his three-year-old season. He added the Cornhusker Handicap (G3) to his resumé in the summer, then followed up with a victory in the Whitney Invitational Handicap (G1) and a third in the Jockey Club Invitational Stakes (G1). Returning to the Beyer Speedfigures, we can note that Fort Larned’s Breeders’ Cup victory gave him the joint-highest figure for 2012, and he now has six of the top 25 figures achieved this year. He is by the Mr. Prospector stallion E Dubai, who began his career at Darley, Kentucky, but who now stands at Northview PA in Peach Bottom, Pennsylvania. Out of the Lord At War mare Words Of War, a multiple stakes winner with prize-money earnings of

www.internationalthoroughbred.net

over $680,000, and a half-brother to Del Mar Oaks (G1) victress No Matter What (herself dam of European champion two-year-old filly Rainbow View), E Dubai retired with a race-record that matched his pedigree. In fact, on his day, he was a spectacular runner. He broke his maiden at two over 5f, setting fractions of 21.8sec and 44.9sec, and at three he took the Dwyer Stakes (G3) in a track-record time of 1:40.38. Second that year in the Travers Stakes (G1) to Point Given and in the Super Derby (G1), E Dubai proved that he could carry that front-running speed to 1m2f with a win over Lido Palace, Macho Uno, Pure Prize and Evening Attire in the Suburban Handicap (G1) at four. Unfortunately E Dubai started his stud career with a stutter-step and, due to initial hesitance in the transition from racehorse to stallion, had only 45 named foals in his first crop. However, that limited first year at stud produced Grade 2 winners High Heels and Buy The Barrel, Grade 3 winners Desert Code and Dubious Miss, and stakes winners Barilko and Spark Of Dubai. Although his career has never quite regained commercial momentum, E Dubai has gone on to sire 28 stakes winners, 13 graded in his first six crops, the best including this year’s Honeymoon Handicap (G3) winner My Gi Gi; One More Dubai, a champion three-year-old colt in

A daughter of Broad Brush, Arlucea is the last of the four foals produced by her dam, the marvellous Argentine-bred mare, Bayakoa.

as champion older mare in both 1989 and 1990, and her 13 Grade 1 triumphs included back-to-back renewals of the Breeders’ Cup Distaff (G1). Unfortunately, Bayakoa’s stud career proved both briefer, and, in the short-term at least, far less spectacular. Arlucea was her only winner, and her only other starter was the Seattle Slew colt De Sarmiento, who finished unplaced in his only start. Her first foal, the unraced Strawberry Road daughter Trinity Place, produced one worthy of her granddam in Affluent (Affirmed), the winner of three Group 1s. Both of Bayakoa’s daughters at stud are now Grade 1 producers. Although she was foaled in Argentina, much of Bayakoa’s pedigree has a North American flavour: her sire Consultant’s Bid is a son of champion handicap horse Bold Bidder, and her dam is by Nashua’s stakeswinning son Good Manners. Bayakoa’s direct female line has been in Argentina since the importation of her ancestress Ante Diem, foaled in England back in 1878. Fort Larned is one of two stakes winners – One More Dubai is the other – from only five foals sired by E Dubai out of daughters of Broad Brush. The other good runners by Mr. Prospector line stallions from Broad Brush mares include champion Blind Luck, Richard’s Kid, Justenffuhumor, One Caroline and Interactif.

Delta does the double It would have been intriguing to see how Royal Delta, who forsook her usual stalking tactics to lead from pillar-to-post to capture her second Breeders’ Cup Ladies Classic (G1), would have fared against Fort Larned. However, the grand mare will remain in training at five, so perhaps such a match up could be in the future. An $8,500,000 purchase by Florida health-care magnate Benjamin Leon Jr. from the estate of her breeder the late Prince Saud bin Khaled (as Palides Investments) at the 2011 Keeneland November Sales, Royal Delta is a daughter of the exported son of Unbridled, Empire Maker. Now a resident of the JBBA Shizunzi Stallion Station in Japan, Empire Maker was arguably the best three-year-old of 2003, finishing second to the eventual Eclipse Award winner Funny Cide in the Kentucky Derby (G1) after an interrupted preparation. He defeated that rival in the Wood Memorial Stakes (G1) and Belmont Stakes (G1). From his first six crops, Empire Maker has sired 35 stakes winners, and they include Bodemeister, winner of the Arkansas Derby (G1) and runner-up in the Kentucky Derby (G1) and Preakness Stakes (G1) this year; Pioneerof the Nile, successful in the Santa Anita Derby (G1) and Cashcall Futurity (G1) and another to finish second in the Kentucky

Little Mike defies family background

Derby (G1), as well as Grace Hall and In Lingerie, who are both among the better three-year-old fillies of 2012. Royal Delta is out of the A.P. Indy mare Delta Princess, a winner of 11 races from two to six, including three Grade 3s. Delta Princess is a sister to the Garden City Breeders’ Cup Handicap (G1) heroine Indy Five Hundred, and three-parts sister to Biondetti (by A.P. Indy’s son, Bernardini), winner of the Gran Criterium (G1) in 2010. The grand-dam, Lyphard’s Delta, a daughter of Lyphard, won the Nassau Stakes (G2) while in England. Third dam Proud Delta won a minor stakes at three, but blossomed at four when she was successful in six black-type events. One reason to lament Empire Maker’s exportation is that he was developing into an excellent high-level option for mares from the A.P. Indy and Seattle Slew line. He’s only had 16 starters out of mares by A.P. Indy, and six of them have earned black-type with Royal Delta, Soaring Empire and Charity Belle all winning graded stakes races. He’s also sired the stakes winner Clear Sailing out of a mare by a son of A.P. Indy, while Bodemeister has a second dam by A.P. Indy. Meanwhile, Grade 1 winner Country Star is from a daughter of the Seattle Slew horse, Metfield, though Empire Maker’s affinity for Seattle Slew was foreshadowed by the talent demonstrated by Honest Lady, the brilliant Seattle Slew half-sister to Empire Maker. The combination of Seattle Slew and Toussaud, the dam of Honest Lady and Empire Maker, brings together two individuals with noted inbreeding to relatives from the La Troienne family.

Lisa Danielle, the dam of the Breeders’ Cup Mile (G1) winner Wise Dan. A $29,000 purchase at 1995 Keeneland September Yearling Sales by Cecil Seaman on behalf of Morton Fink – the owner/breeder of Wise Dan – Lisa Danielle won just once. She made her final start in the June of her four-year-old season, already in foal to Roy. The result of that mating was the filly Our Royal Dancer, who got the stud career of Lisa Danielle off to a bright start with a win in the West Long Branch Stakes at Monmouth. The next notable runner for Lisa Danielle, who boasts a record of seven winners from eight starters, was Wise Dan’s older halfbrother, Successful Dan. A gelded son of Successful Appeal, Successful Dan has earned over $656,000, including three victories at graded level. He holds the eight and a half furlong track record at Churchill Downs. Lisa Danielle is a daughter of the South

Royal Delta is an extremely fashionably bred Breeders’ Cup winner from the Unbridled line, but while Little Mike, who led throughout to defy the European invaders in the Breeders’ Cup Turf (G1), stems from the same sire line, he is from the opposite end of the commercial spectrum. He is a son of Spanish Steps, an unraced brother to Unbridled’s Song. Spanish Steps has been represented by five crops, and has five stakes winners from 140 starters, Little Mike being his only graded scorer. There is no doubt that a good measure of credit should go to Little Mike’s dam, Hay Jude. A daughter of Wavering Monarch, she won five races, none of which though were black-type, but she is also dam of Little Nick, a threetime stakes-winning and graded stakes performer, who is by Storm Cat’s nonwinning son, Tiger Ridge. The second dam, the Relaunch mare Double Norm, is a half-sister to the durable sprint stakes winner Linear and to the dam of Brazilian Grade 1 winner Gold Pleasure. There are two stakes winners from only 17 starters by Unbridled and his sons out of Wavering Monarch mares, the other being Marylebone, a daughter of Spanish Step’s brother, Unbridled’s Song. Unbridled and Wavering Monarch are both tall Raise A Native line horses with Buckpasser close up in their pedigrees, and Little Mike also has a double of In Reality, a strain that has historically combined very well with Unbridled’s sire, Fappiano.

breeders’ cup African-born stallion Wolf Power. By the Round Table horse Flirting Around, a top-class sprinter in Europe, Wolf Power won 18 of 31 starts in his native country, earning honours as champion two-year-old colt and as Horse of the Year at four and five. Transferred to the US, Wolf Power wasn’t a prolific stakes sire, but did get the Grade 1 winner Freedom Cry. In addition to Wise Dan and Successful Dan, he appears as broodmare sire of Grade 1 winner Milwaukee Brew. Lisa Danielle’s dam Askmysecretary, an unraced daughter of Secretariat, produced eight winners. She is out of Laquiola, a

Mizdirection’s sire Mizzen Mast is “gaining respect as a very solid racehorse sire”

Lyphard daughter, who won the Prix de la Seine and was Group placed in France. Laquiola appears as second or third dam of several stakes winners, the most notable being Scalo, victorious in the Preis von Europa (G1), and Tzar Rodney, who took the Prix La Force (G3) in France and the All-American Handicap (G3) in the US. Laquiola was a product of top-class European breeding as she is a half-sister to the Prix du Jockey-Club (G1) victor, Roi Lear. Her dam Kalila is half-sister to two other Classic winners – Valoris, who won the English Oaks and Irish 1,000 Guineas, and to another French Derby hero in Val De Loir. Their dam Vali is ancestress of a slew of notable winners, including the Group and Grade 1 winners Le Miracle, Petoski, Cent Home, Aragorn and One Cool Cat. Vali is a great-great grandaughter of the mare Simon’s Shoes, ancestress though another branch of Nureyev, Sadler’s Wells and Fairy King. The most notable feature of Lisa Danielle’s pedigree is that her sire is a Princequillo/ Nasrullah cross with her broodmare sire Secretariat being at the pinnacle of the runners produced by the reverse of that cross. Wise Dan is by Wiseman’s Ferry, a Hennessy son who was Group placed in Ireland and a two-time Grade 3 winner in the US and now stands in Pennsylvania at a fee of $3,500. Wiseman’s Ferry, who has one other graded winner to his name, reinforces the Nasrullah/ Princequillo background as he brings in a second cross of Secretariat (as broodmare sire of Storm Cat, a reverse Northern Dancer/Secretariat cross to the dam of Lisa Danielle), and his third dam, La Mesa, is by Round Table (Princequillo) out of a daughter of Nasrullah.

Mizzen Mast gets two winners The Breeders’ Cup Turf Sprint (G1) saw the filly Mizdirection spring a mild surprise by closing fast to defeat the males. A previous Grade 3 winner Mizdirection is a granddaughter of the Breeders’ Cup Mile (G1) victor Cozzene and by Mizzen Mast. Smart on turf in France where he won the Prix de Guiche (G3) and was runner-up in the Grand

www.internationalthoroughbred.net

Prix de Paris (G1), Mizzen Mast fared better on dirt in the US winning two Grade 1s. Not noted as a particularly commercial stallion, Mizzen Mast, who stands at Juddmonte Farms, Kentucky, has gained respect as a very solid racehorse sire, his other representatives including Flotilla, who made it a good weekend for her sire with victory in the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf (G1). His other Grade 1 winners are Mast Track, Midships and Ultimate Eagle. Mizdirection represents something of an upgrade for her recent family. Her dam, Clever Trick’s daughter Deceptive, did breed another stakes winner in the Sea Of Secret’s filly Hurricane Bertie, but her black-type came by way of a victory in the Canterbury Downs Lassie Stakes. Mizdirection is one of a number of talented horses to combine Mizzen Mast’s broodmare sire Graustark with his genetic relative Majestic Light, the sire of Wavering Monarch. Others include this year’s Grade 1-winning juvenile Spring In The Air, as well as 2000’s Breeders’ Cup Sprint (G1) hero Kona Gold and the Kentucky Derby (G1) victor of 2001 Monarchos. Flotilla is out of Louvain, a Sinndar daughter who was stakes placed in France and who won a trio of stakes in the US, including the Miesque Stakes (G3). Louvain, who is also dam of the stakes winner Louvakhova, is out of Flanders, a Common Grounds daughter who took the Scarbrough Stakes and also ran second in the King’s Stand Stakes (G2). Flanders is a half-sister to the Desert Style sisters Ascot Family, a Listed winner in France and the dam of the Prix Robert-Papin (G2) and Prix du Bois (G3) winner Family One, and Land Army, the dam of this year’s Hungerford Stakes (G2) winner Lethal Force.

French trend continues with Zagora Zagora, who triumphed in the Breeders’ Cup Filly and Mare Turf (G1), was sold for $2,500,000 at Fasig-Tipton on the Monday following the Breeders’ Cup. Zagora is another with a French background and was three-times Group placed in the country. By the veteran Green Dancer stallion Green Tune, her dam Zaneton is by Mtoto out of the stakes-placed Zafonic daughter, Party Zane. Third dam Party Doll, a three time-stakes winner in France, is dam of Titus Livius, the high-weighted older horse in France at four, and of the German 1,000 Guineas (G2) winner, Briseida. Zagora traces back to the famous tap-root mare Ampola,

breeders cup

whose other most recent celebrity descendent is the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe winner, Solemia. Zagora is the product of a rather intriguing pedigree pattern: she is one of four black-type performers, the others including the Group 1 winner Compton Admiral, from only six foals sired by a son of Green Dancer from mares by Mtoto. Her sire is bred on a Nijinsky/ Mr. Prospector cross, her grand-dam is by Zafonic, who is bred on a cross of Mr. Prospector over a mare by Nijinsky’s three-parts-brother, The Minstrel.

The other contest on the lawn was the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Turf (G1), a race which saw Irish invader George Vancouver win with ease. Breeding an older proven mare to a young stallion is a proven commercial formula and George Vancouver is an extreme example. He is from the first crop of Henrythenavigator, winner of the Coventry Stakes (G2) at two, and the 2,000 Guineas (G1), St. James’s Palace Stakes (G1) and Sussex Stakes (G1) at three. George Vancouver was preceded as a winner at the highest level from his sire’s initial crop by Pedro The Great, successful in the Phoenix Stakes (G1). George Vancouver was foaled when his dam Versailles Treaty was 22. The veteran daughter of Danzig was an exceptional racemare, winning the Alabama Stakes (G1), Ruffian Handicap (G1), Test Stakes (G1) and Gazelle Handicap (G1), but she has also proven herself as capable a broodmare – she has previously produced the Grade 2-winning and Grade 1-placed Saarland. She is a daughter of Danzig and out of the Buckpasser mare, Ten Cents A Dance. A multiple graded stakes placed performer, Ten Cents A Dance produced two other stakes

Calidoscopio (in front and on the rail): the South American-trained son of Luhuk became the oldest-ever Breeders’ Cup winner when taking the Marathon

Oldest takes the Marathon, fastest sprinter is filly Groupie Doll The Breeders’ Cup Marathon (G2) saw the Argentine-bred and trained Calidoscopio create history, the nine-year-old becoming the oldest horse ever to win a Breeders’ Cup event. Calidoscopio is by Luhuk, a son of Forty Niner, a Listed winner in Britain and the US at three, and a good sire in South America. A brother to the Grade 1-winning filly Cumbrecita, Calidoscopio is out of the Grade 2 winner Calderona, a daughter of the Prince John horse, Lefty. Calidoscopio and Cumbrecita are two of only four starters by Luhuk out of mares by Lefty, and the other being Great Champion, a Grade 2 winner. At the other end of the distance scale, the Breeders’ Cup Sprint (G1), the Breeders’ Cup Filly and Mare Sprint (G1) and the Breeders’ Cup Dirt Mile (G1) went to Trinniberg, Groupie Doll and Tapizar. The three-year-old Trinniberg is a member of the first crop sired by Teuflesberg. A tough son of Johannesburg, who is inbred to Johannesburg’s own family, Teuflesberg began his stud career in Kentucky, moved to Florida, but will be in New York in 2013. A $1,500 Fasig-Tipton Kentucky Fall Yearling and a $21,000 Ocala Spring Two-Year-Old in Training purchase, Trinniberg is out of the minor stakes-placed Bella Dorato. She is by the Crafty Prospector horse Goldminers Gold, a Listed stakes-winning sprinter, and out of Witchkin, a daughter of Salem (Cyane), who has already demonstrated some affinity from elements of Teuflesberg’s pedigree. She is dam of four stakes placed horses, including the Kentucky Stakes (G3) third Dream Of Kaylee, who is by Cactus Ridge, a son of Johannesburg’s sire, Hennessy, and Jovanna. She is by Minardi, whose dam Yarn is not only grand-dam of Johannesburg, but also a three-parts sister to Line, the granddam of Teuflesberg. Trinniberg’s third and fourth dams could do no better than produce a minor stakes-placed horse apiece, so it is not until we reach the fifth dam Scuttlebut that we find a prior stakes winner in the female line. Groupie Doll, who took the filly edition of the Sprint, may actually be the fastest of either sex around. She is easily the best of the 11 stakes winners to emerge from the first five crops sired by Bowman’s Band, a Dixieland Band horse who is a brother to the dam of Pollard’s Vision, himself sire of the champion three-year-old filly Blind Luck.

Groupie Doll: the Sprint winner is the best yet by Bowman’s Band

Groupie Doll’s dam Deputy Doll is a daughter of the good broodmare sire Silver Deputy, and is half-sister to the stakeswinning sprinter Russellthemussell, and to the dam of another stakes-winning and graded stake-placed sprinter Aristotle. Groupie Doll’s third dam Bold Flora is a sister to Flower Bowl, a top-class racemare, who subsequently became dam of the important sires Graustark and His Majesty. Bowman’s Band’s dam is by Pleasant Colony, a son of His Majesty, so Groupie Doll is linebred to this family. The Breeder’s Cup Mile (G1) resulted in a first victory at the highest level for Tapizar, who retires to join his sire Tapit at Gainesway. By A.P. Indy’s son Pulpit, Tapit started his stud career at a very modest fee, but has had 37 stakes winners, 19 graded and nine Grade 1 in his first five crops, including the champion two-year-olds Hansen and Careless Jewel. Tapizar is the first stakes winner for his dam Winning Call, a Deputy Minister mare. The second dam, Call Now, won the Del Mar Debutante Stakes (G2), and Pasadena Stakes, and finished second in the Oak Leaf Stakes (G1) as a two-year-old. Call Now’s dam Carols Christmas is ancestress of Grade 1 winner Pyro and stakes winners Longview Drive (both by Pulpit), the graded scorer War Echo (Tapit), as well as the Secretariat Stakes (G1) winner Paddy O’Prado; Cuvee, successful in the Futurity Stakes (G1), and graded scorers Fun House, Early Flyer, Will He Shine and Bien Nicole.

It recalled the two-year-long battles between Beholder’s sire Henny Hughes with First Samurai, First Samurai coming out on top in the Champagne Stakes (G1) and Hopeful Stakes (G1), and Henny Hughes putting away First Samurai in the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile (G1), only to get run down late by Stevie Wonderboy. Kept to sprints, Henny Hughes won three of four starts at three, including the King’s Bishop Stakes (G1) and Vosburgh

After shuttling to Australia, Henny Hughes was sold earlier this year to stand in the southern hemisphere permanently. Beholder is a half-sister to the Cashcall Futurity (G1) winner Into Mischief, who, like Beholder, is by a grandson of Storm Cat. Their dam Leslie’s Lady was a minor stakes winner at two, and her third dam Last Bird is also fourth dam of Kentucky and Preakness Stakes winner I’ll Have Another.

The second dam Steel Band, who is by Carson City, is a sister to City Band, a precocious filly who took the Oak Leaf Stakes (G1) and Golden Rod Stakes (G1) at two. There will be an obvious temptation to point Shanghai Bobby to the Classics, but his pedigree suggests that success as a sprinter/ miler is more likely.

Over the Moon t Is indeed ironic that Australia’s greatest race, the Melbourne Cup, is now seen by locals as a race for “the internationals”. Understandable as, while Australia can rightly point to its sprinters being the international benchmark it is a far different story once races stretch out beyond a 1m4f, and, in particular, in this 2m handicap that carries prize-money of A$6.5 million. This year the first seven home in the Melbourne Cup carried the Irish suffix with the only consolation of sorts for the locals being that the winner Green Moon has been trained in Australia for the past 18 months. The late Coolmore Stud champion Montjeu became the 117th individual stallion to sire a Melbourne Cup winner when Green Moon, out of the Green Tune mare Green Noon, led home the dominant Irish-bred contingent at Flemington. Australian owners and stables secured the second, third and fourth Melbourne Cup placegetters Fiorente (Monsun – Desert Bloom (Pilsudski)), Jakkalberry (Storming Home – Claba di San Jore (Barathea)) and Kelinni (Refuse To Bend – Orinoco (Darshaan)). The Luca Cumani-trained Mount Athos (Montjeu – Ionian Sea (Slip Anchor)) was the first international runner home in fifth. Green Moon enjoyed a text book ride from Brett Prebble, who flew in from Hong Kong to take the mount. The horse had clear running room as the pace slackened after halfway and he was poised to challenge into the straight and quickened clear, staying on strongly all the way to the line to defeat a gallant Fiorente. Jakkalberry got up close home to grab Kelinni and take third prize. The win gave senior part-owner Lloyd Williams his fourth win in the race he covets above all else. Williams bought Green Moon from breeders, the Goldsmith family, who raced the colt with trainer Harry Dunlop until Macedon Lodge secured him in late 2010.

“

We put in a lot of money and a heck of a lot of effort and to get this result today is terrific. This is what we bought Green Moon for and this has been the plan

“

Darryl Sherer reviews the Melbourne Spring Carnival

Green Moon won at Listed level for Dunlop, but measured up to the best Australian stayers when second in the Group 1 Caulfield Cup (1m4f) in 2011, shortly after breaking his southern hemisphere maiden over the same trip in the Group 3 Newcastle Gold Cup. Green Moon had a light autumn campaign before going into the Melbourne Cup on his fifth run of a season that featured a win in the Group 1 Turnbull Stakes (1m2f) in early October, but a disappointing midfield effort when sent off a $5 favourite in the Cox Plate at his final lead-up run. Macedon Lodge decided to press on to the Melbourne Cup with the six-year-old where he justified the stable’s faith to score decisively at his first attempt at two miles. “I’m just so proud for all our team at the farm [Macedon Lodge] because everyone just puts in so much time and effort, of course led by dad, and it’s another Melbourne Cup triumph for Team Williams,” said Macedon Lodge spokesman Nick Williams. “We put in a lot of money and a heck of a lot of effort and to get this result today is terrific.

“This is what we bought Green Moon for and this has been the plan. The Cox Plate didn’t go absolutely right and he got an unfortunate bump coming out of the straight the first time and had no luck in the run.” Green Moon became the third Irish-bred Melbourne Cup winner after Backwood (Bachelor’s Double – Lady Of Grace (St Frusquin)) and Vintage Crop (Rousillon – Overplay (Bustino)), while Montjeu became the 17th Irish-bred stallion to sire a Melbourne Cup winner and sixth in the past 10 years.

Fitting Fastnet Rock quinella in Coolmore Stud Stakes Coolmore Stud got more than its fair share of bang for its sponsorship buck when two daughters of the operation’s Australian champion sire Fastnet Rock (Danehill) ran the quinella in the A$1 million event. Coolmore Stud has sponsored the Group 1 sprint for three-year-olds since 2007, a year after the race known as the Ascot Vale Stakes earned top-flight status. Nechita’s (Fastnet Rock – Artistique (Peintre Celebre)) brilliant acceleration from just off the pace made the difference between her and the runner-up Jolie Bay with the Patinack Farm-owned filly, who cost the organisation A$130,000 at the 2011 Gold Coast Magic Millions Sale, prevailing by three-quarters of a length. “She is by far the fastest horse I’ve ever had anything to do with,” reported Patinack Farm’s head trainer John Thompson. “She just has a scintillating turn of foot off a hot speed. I’ve always thought she is a top line sprinter. She is a good horse going forward and I’m sure she has got plenty more of them [Group 1 wins] in store. “Hopefully in time when she gets a bit stronger we can ride her quieter and she can get further, but she is definitely a top notch sprinter.” Fastnet Rock himself was a wonderful

performer on the Flemington straight course, winning three races from four attempts, including the 5f Group 1 Lightning Stakes in 2005. Only Alinghi, a daughter of Encosta De Lago, was able to beat Fastnet Rock on the straight track when she prevailed in the 2005 Newmarket Handicap with a 3.5kg weight advantage.

All grand for Fiveandahalfstar in Derby Grand Lodge went within a half-length and a protest hearing of siring a Group 1 Victoria Derby winner, but his late son Hotel Grand stole the show with the winning gelding Fiveandahalfstar (Hotel Grand – Cryptic Miss (Snippets)). It was a second second placing for Grand Lodge – his outstanding son Shogun Lodge finished second to Blackfriars in 1999 – but his son Hotel Grand became a stakes-winning sire nine months after his early demise when Fiveandahalfstar simply outstayed his opposition to claim the $1.5 million event. The gelding raced handily throughout behind a pace set by Jimando (Commands) before giving his all to defy the multiple Fastnet Rock challenge of the runner-up Super Cool, who is out of the Kingmambo mare Queen Mother, the fourth, the Peter Gelagotis-trained Hvasstan, and the fifth,

Electric Fusion, who is out of Silken Song (Unbridled’s Song). The unlucky runner was Rawnaq (Redoute’s Choice), who flew home late to break-up the Fastnet Rock contingent with a third place finish after suffering interference at a vital stage, which left his jockey Michael Walker most unhappy and the culprit, Nash Rawiller, with a 10-meeting suspension. Rawnaq’s bad luck was of no concern to Fiveandahalfstar’s trainer Anthony Cummings, who also bred the staying prospect. Cummings went to the trouble of sending Fiveandahalfstar through the sales ring as part of the Princes Farm draft at the 2011 Inglis Classic Yearling Sale, but now has a million-dollar earner on his hands after his charge’s brave effort landed him a A$900,000 winner’s cheque. “He has got a fairly bold running style, much like his old man Hotel Grand,” surmised Cummings, who trained Hotel Grand to win the Group 1 mile Randwick Guineas and Spring Champion Stakes in his nine-start career. “We probably never really saw the best of Hotel Grand, but he was a really quality racehorse and one of the best I’ve trained and it’s nice to get one of his sons to come here and do the job.

defeat almost cost jockey Jim Cassidy the ride on the daughter of Dehere (Deputy Minister) after flamboyant owner John Singleton sacked him in favour of Nash Rawiller, who subsequently earned himself a suspension and was ruled out of the ride. Cassidy stuck to the script to ensure there would be no repeat of his dismal Wakeful Stakes ride, positioning the filly at the back of the field in a solidly run Oaks before improving to track Zydeco from the 800-metre mark. Dear Demi surged home to score emphatically giving Zabeel his second VRC Oaks success as a broodmare sire after Samantha Miss (Redoute’s Choice – Milliyet, (Zabeel)) took the event in 2008. “She was so strong today,” said winning trainer Clarry Conners. “We set her for the race six months ago and this is her seventh run in this campaign, but she is a better horse than I thought she would be, she just keeps getting better. “She has run in all the big races and she’s had no luck in her last four starts but she keeps trying, she’s got a heart as big as anything.” Zydeco became the fourth daughter of Zabeel to finish in the minor placings in the VRC Oaks after Empress Lily, Manang and Zazabelle, while Dear Demi is the second Oaks winner trained by Conners in 2012. The Warwick Farm horseman prepared a filly bred on the same Dehere / Zabeel cross – Invest – to win the Group 1 Australasian Oaks at Morphettville.

“I bought Hotel Grand’s mum for A$33,000 at Easter [Yearling Sale] and she finished up being Broodmare of the Year with Hotel Grand being a dual Group 1 winner. “I then bought this guy’s mother at a sale up in Scone and she won a maiden over 2100m, but broke down when winning. It’s nice to put it all together and get a Group 1 winner out of it.”

Lonhro’s son leaves Australia a new Group 1 winner Australia’s loss is to be Godolphin’s gain after four-year-old Mental (Lonhro) won his Group 1 his final Australian appearance in the 6f Patinack Farm Classic. Mental is one of the six in the latest batch of Australian thoroughbreds called up from Darley to Sheikh Mohammed’s northern hemisphere operation. After he emerged as a consistent sprinter during the Brisbane winter carnival, Mental improved further in his four-year-old season. He produced a terrific first-up performance when a fast-finishing second to Sea Siren (Fastnet Rock) in the 6f Group 1 Manikato Stakes at Moonee Valley last month before getting his revenge over the mare in the Patinack Farm Classic. Mental sat behind Sea Siren before overrunning the triple Group 1 winner late in the race to record his maiden Group 1 victory, becoming the fifth individual winner at the highest level for Lonhro. Trainer Peter Snowden reported that the gelding would head to Godolphin next month as one of the best credentialled horses he has sent to race as part of the blue army. “He goes to quarantine in mid-November and he’ll leave on December 17,” Snowden said. “He probably wouldn’t have to improve much more to be competitive over there. “Mental is probably the best horse we’ve sent to the northern hemisphere and he’s going there in the best form. He is still on the way up which is the best thing about him, he still hasn’t reached his peak. He is just a tougher horse now and he copes with his racing really well.

A family business Wife of a champion trainer, mother of a champion jockey and the breeder of Group 1-winning horses, Lissa Oliver meets Anne-Marie O’Brien

allydoyle is steeped in history with a rich heritage of champion racehorses having passed through its gates, but the pedigrees of the human incumbents are equally

impressive. Many will know Anne-Marie O’Brien as the wife of champion trainer Aidan and mother of champion jockey Joseph, but what is often overlooked is that she is also the breeder of many of the horses who have helped to secure those coveted titles. Breeders are used to being overshadowed by owners, trainers and jockeys and are often excluded from the post-race celebrations, but Anne-Marie has always been very much involved with the horses she has bred and to describe her bloodstock business as a family affair is something of an understatement. Few families can be so fully involved at every level of a horse’s career, Anne-Marie successfully donning the multiple hats of breeder, owner, wife and mother as she steps forward to greet her winners. It sounds like a balancing act that could prove the downfall of many,

When I was 18 my dad offered me the choice of having a birthday party or picking a mare, so I chose the mare!

but the Crowleys and O’Briens have horses in their blood and have always been fully immersed in all things equine. There are never any days off from the stable and none needed. “I was always involved with horses,” reveals Anne-Marie’s father, Joe Crowley. “I kept Irish Draft horses for working on the farm, and broodmares. “My first successful mare was probably Late Spring, who bred a horse called Spindrifter who went on to win 13 races as a two-year-old for Sir Mark Prescott. It’s a record that I think stood for quite a number of years.” Having been actively involved in the farm from a young age it was only natural that

Crowley should include his daughters in the daily activities and anyone who has enjoyed a day at the races over the past 19 years will be aware that his influence has clearly rubbed off. “All six of the girls enjoyed riding out and looking after the breeding stock when they were at home,” Crowley says. “It’s great to see the next generation becoming involved now again. It’s very much a family operation and we all work together and discuss everything.” A view echoed by Anne-Marie who adds:“Everyone gives their opinion with regard to matings and sales.” Looking back on her time at home she remembers: “All my family were very involved with the stud farm when we were growing up, from foaling the mares to riding out the

“

anne-marie o’brien racehorses and everything in between. “It certainly gave us all a great understanding of how the whole industry works, from the ground up.” For Anne-Marie, her personal involvement really took off when she was given a vital choice, which revealed her true passion. “When I was 18 my dad offered me the choice of having a birthday party or picking a mare, so I chose the mare!” It was, of course, the right decision and she has since produced the likes of Lady Lupus, winner of the Listed Lanwades & Staffordstown Stud Stakes; Ishvana, winner of this year’s Group 3 Jersey Stakes and second in the Group 1 Irish 1,000 Guineas; Empowering, the Group 3 winner of the Leopardstown 1,000 Guineas Trial and the Listed Sweet Mimosa Stakes; the dual Group 2 juvenile winner King Torus, as well

as the Group 1 winners, the Dewhurst Stakes winner Beethoven, multiple winner Rock Of Gibraltar, as well as the latest exciting star Kingsbarns, winner of the Group 1 Racing Post Trophy. Many have raced in O’Brien’s own colours. “We breed primarily to race,” O’Brien says. “We do all our matings based on trying to produce the kind of racehorse that we would like to train.” Even when yearlings are sold, they occasionally find their way back to Ballydoyle, which is a source of immense satisfaction to their breeder. “Obviously we hope that we could train everything we breed,” she admits, “but it’s not always possible!” Working alongside Aidan at Ballydoyle means that almost every week there’s a big race win to enjoy, but Anne-Marie still gets a thrill not only from the stable’s victories, but also from her own; Ishvana providing her with her first success at Royal Ascot as an owner this summer. “Royal Ascot was wonderful as we know just how hard it is to win there. Ishvana was coming off a very good run when she was second in the Irish 1,000 Guineas, so it was really great when she confirmed that form.” It may have been Anne-Marie’s first Royal Ascot win as an owner, but she had already visited the winners’ enclosure there as a breeder, during the incredible Group 1 run of Rock Of Gibraltar. When asked for her most thrilling moment as a breeder she is in full agreement with her father when they both say: “Probably when Rock Of Gibraltar won the 2,000 Guineas and then went on to win seven Group 1s in a row.” His record of wins, broken only by Frankel

this year, began at Longchamp in the Grand Criterium in October 2001 and ended at the Parisian track in the Prix du Moulin in 2002. Only a three-parts of a length defeat by Domedriver in the Breeders’ Cup Mile prevented his winning run extending to eight. As good a miler as he was, it’s every breeders’ hope to produce a Derby winner and the dream is currently alive in the shape of Kingsbarns, the impressive unbeaten winner of the Group 1 Racing Post Trophy. “That was a wonderful moment,” Annemarie reflects. “My Dad had bought his dam Beltisaal at Goffs for us a few years ago and he was watching on TV when he won the Racing Post Trophy, so we were all really excited to have produced such an exciting prospect for next year.”

eltisaal had been a bargain purchase for the shrewd Crowley, the main attraction being that he “liked her pedigree.” She was sent to Galileo, because as Crowley so succinctly puts: “In my opinion Galileo is the best stallion that has ever existed.” The union produced the current Derby favourite, which came as little surprise to his breeders. “Kingsbarns always looked a very special colt,” Crowley recalls. “The Racing Post Trophy was a very special race for us, particularly because Joseph rode him.” With a Derby favourite to keep the winter dreams fuelled, the obvious question is does Anne-Marie have any yearlings she is particularly looking forward to seeing race next season?

Having Joseph on board the stable’s runners certainly adds some pressure to the big days, but also takes away other pressures too

“

“We have a really lovely bunch of Fastnet Rock yearlings coming into training shortly and we are very excited about them as they look fast, strong and seem to have great minds,” she reveals. “I am really looking forward to a Fastnet Rock filly out of Lady Icarus, she is probably the best-looking filly we have ever bred and I think her half-brother Furner’s Green, by Dylan Thomas.would definitely have won a Group 1.” Sadly, the son of Dylan Thomas was fatally injured in the Poule d’Essai des Poulains. When it comes to mating plans, AnneMarie is naturally drawn to those who were trained at Ballydoyle and with whom she has first hand experience. “Apart from the obvious ones we are looking forward to having Henrythenavigator back in this part of the world. We loved the Henry’s that we had in Ballydoyle this year, they showed us a lot of natural pace throughout the year and we are looking forward to seeing them run as three-year-olds, hopefully on better ground than we had this year. “We are also looking forward to using the first-season stallions. Power and Excelebration were both very good racehorses and have all the attributes necessary to produce early maturing stock, while So You Think is a fantastic-looking horse and a wonderful athlete, winning ten Group 1s.” On a more personal side, while marrying the breeding enterprise with ownership and Ballydoyle looks to be a benefit, trying to also fit in managing a family and all the outside interests that children have should surely put a strain on Anne-Marie, though if it does, it never shows. The four children have always accompanied their parents to race meetings and have enjoyed early successes of their own at top Pony Club level. Joseph is now champion jockey, Ana has already had her first professional ride in public, Sarah has ridden as an amateur and Donnacha is waiting in the wings; all ready to carve out names for themselves within the racing industry. As their mother says: “As racing is such an allconsuming way of life it was

probably inevitable that the children have also become totally immersed in the industry. Obviously I am always worried when they are riding, but I’m also delighted and feel very lucky that they have such an interest in what we do. “Having Joseph on board the stable’s runners certainly adds some pressure to the big days, but also takes away other pressures too. “From the time he started to ride

Joseph was always a very good rider and horseman. I never thought that he would have a career as a Flat jockey, as I always thought that he would be too heavy, but it’s great that he has stayed light enough to ride on the Flat.” Ballydoyle is under constant media attention, but Anne-Marie appears unaffected by the added pressure. “I think the media are an important part of the industry and we try to be as accommodating as possible,” she accepts. The racing calendar rarely provides an opportunity to escape and relax, but the family do occasionally get a chance to unwind. “We have been lucky enough to have been able to spend the last two weeks in the incredible Sandy Lane hotel in Barbados, where we have enjoyed beautiful weather, amazing food and total relaxation.” It seems a well-deserved treat for a family that includes the first father-son combination to win the trainer’s and jockey’s titles in Ireland since 1916. With so many bows to her racing string and the achievements that have come with them, what are Anne-Marie’s hopes for the future? Probably the same as any breeder. “Just to try and produce as many stakes performers as possible,” she smiles. Daughter and father team: Anne-Marie with father Joe Crowley

At the top of its game

waddesdon stud

Lady Rothschild and Waddesdon Stud have enjoyed the most amazing year on the racecourse, culminating in the retirement of dual Group 1 winner Nathaniel to Newsells Park. Beth Carter chats to the delighted owner-breeder.

he demise of the traditional owner-breeder in Britain has been much lamented in many quarters in recent years, but results this year have shown that there is still plenty of success to be had. The publicity-shy Lady Serena Rothschild is more than happy to let her horses do the talking, and this year homebred runners carrying the famous blue and yellow colours have been not so much talking as bellowing. No less than six homebred horses have won stakes races for their enthusiastic owner this season, most notably the Group 1-winning siblings Nathaniel and Great Heavens, who accounted for the Eclipse and the Irish Oaks, while there has also been a Group 3 winner, three multiple Listed winners, and the Group 3-placed juvenile Glean. It is interesting to note that four of the septet are the products of high-profile mares purchased in the last six years by the Rothschild family, a welcome vindication of a decision to up the ante at the family’s Waddesdon Stud in Buckinghamshire. Two more are also from mares bought at auction, albeit for slightly lesser sums.

Nathaniel has been the flagbearer for Lady Rothschild’s racing operation for two seasons now, winning the King George VI & Queen Elizabeth Stakes (G1), the Eclipse (G1) and the King Edward VII Stakes (G2) at Royal Ascot, as well as placing three more times in Group 1 company, including in this season’s King George when he was pipped on the line by Danedream. In a season that has yielded an embarrassment of riches, Lady Rothschild is hard pressed to pick out a stand-out moment. “Each win is as exciting as the last,” she says. “I would say the worst race was the King George this season when we all thought for one blinding moment that we had won, but other than that they have all been a great thrill.” Nathaniel, a beautifully bred son of Galileo, is out of the outstanding Silver Hawk mare Magnificient Style, herself a Group 3 winner on the track, who has gone on to produce nine stakes winners, three of which have been at Group 1 level. Having purchased Nathaniel in utero with his dam, Lady Rothschild returned the mare to Galileo the next year and was rewarded

waddesdon stud Lady Rothschild: when her son Nat became more involved with the horses a decision was made to impove the quality of broodmare band at Waddesdon

with the filly Great Heavens, who has been a revelation this year progressing from a maiden victory at Yarmouth in May to success in the Irish Oaks just two months later. Great Heavens has already returned to Waddesdon Stud, having had her final start on British Champions Day and her connections will spend some time mulling over options for her first tryst. “She’s not big, she’s won an Oaks, and it would have been a lot harder for her next year,” Lady Rothschild says of the decision to retire her now. “She’s an absolutely charming filly and I am so pleased that she has come back home to be bred.” The top-class siblings have now both been retired, but their yearling half-brother Throne Room (Oasis Dream) is waiting in the wings to wear the famous blue and yellow colours, as well as a filly foal by the same sire, while Magnificient Style is carrying to Fastnet Rock. While both Lady Rothschild and her son Nat take a keen active interest in the stud, they rely heavily on advice from James Wigan, whose London Thoroughbred Services is the name on the buyers’ sheet when it comes to purchasing mares. The decision as to which stallions to patronise with the Rothschild mares is also down to Wigan, with input from the family, although Lady Rothschild describes herself as “very much second fiddle to James when it comes to that!” The choice for some of the broodmare band may have become a little easier now following the retirement of Nathaniel to Newsells Park Stud in Hertfordshire, where he is being

syndicated and will stand at a fee of £20,000. “The Rothschilds were always keen that he should stand here in Britain,” says Wigan. “He is the first really top-class horse they have bred and there is an emotional attachment there, of course. We sold a quarter-share to the Jacobs family before the season started with the proviso they bought another quarter after his next Group 1 win, which was the Eclipse. “We always had in mind that he would be syndicated. You certainly need the support of other like-minded breeders and I am happy to say he looks certain to get this, with the majority of the top breeders having applied for shares. “He is the first top son of Galileo not retired to either Darley, Coolmore or Juddmonte, and they, of course, have large broodmare bands to support them. The Jacobs family, like the Rothschilds, have a top-class broodmare band but not on that sort of scale and so syndicating ensures that he gets the right mares.”

in 1922 by James de Rothschild when he inherited the property. The current Lord and Lady Rothschild subsequently inherited the stud from James’s widow Dorothy in 1988. Lady Rothschild is herself from a racing background; her father Sir Philip Dunn owned the 1960 Stewards’ Cup winner Monet. However, by her own admission, the new owner of the stud was not familiar with the intricacies of bloodlines. “I knew nothing about bloodstock; it all hit me with a glorious thump!” she laughs. Wigan’s own involvement with the stud began around a decade later. “The stud had been going along in a quiet way for a long time, but by the mid-2000s Nat had become

interested and he encouraged his mother to invest in some top mares – not that she needed much encouragement of course!” he recalls. “In 2003 I came in and started giving a little bit of advice and it went from there. “Our first big winner was Pounced, who won the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Turf [then a Group 2]. He was out of a mare we bought privately in America called Golden Cat, who has sadly since died.”

The son of Galileo, Nathaniel

lass is certainly the ethos with the Rothschild mares. The broodmare band currently numbers 16 with Polaire resident at Three Chimneys in Kentucky, and the remainder based at Waddesdon. “We will never have more than 20, as we have 200 acres here so we simply don’t have the room. I think 16 is just about right,” Lady Rothschild explains. “Our aim is absolutely to breed to race, although we might perhaps sell one or two out of training.” Stud groom Nicholas Blades oversees operations at Waddesdon Stud, ably assisted by Stacey Holmes and Colin Newcombe, while the breaking of yearlings is all done by Malcolm Bastard. The stud at Waddesdon Manor was built

James Wigan (left) advises Lady Rothschild and Waddesdon and is keen to ensure all the farm’s mares come from “strong families”.

favourite. She is such a funny-looking thing, like a little carthorse, and all she is interested in is food!” says Lady Rothschild. “We inherited her great-grand-dam with the stud, and I actually sold Mayson’s grand-dam when she was in foal with his dam.” Several members of the Waddesdon broodmare band may have carried weighty price tags, but they have certainly all proved their merits, vindicating Wigan’s desire to purchase from strong families. “We tried to go for really top families and very nice, correct individuals. I don’t like something that doesn’t have a strong female family,” he explains. “Breeding to race gives you an advantage. If you’re looking to sell it puts pressure on you to hurry them along, which is often not in the best interests of the young stock. If you remain involved with them throughout their career then you get to know their characteristics. “If you look at pedigrees in the catalogues it is noticeable that all the really good families have been developed by owner/breeders.”

I absolutely adore Mince, she really is my favourite. She is such a funny-looking thing, like a little carthorse, and all she is interested in is food!

“

The stud really hit the headlines three years earlier, when at the 2006 Tattersalls December Mares Sale, Wigan secured the top two lots, paying a then-world record price for the Group 1 winner Magical Romance (the purchase still holds the European record), and adding another young Group 1 winner to the shopping basket when securing Spinning Queen, dam of Gallipot, winner of this year’s Princess Royal Richard Hambro EBF Stakes. A year later, the stud was in the news again when purchasing the dual Grade 1 winner Angara from the dispersal of the Swettenham Stud. The Sangster auction highlighted an unforgettable sale which appeared to be robbed of one of its star turns when Magnificient Style, already a top producer, was withdrawn prior to selling at Tattersalls. On finding that she was withdrawn, Wigan later privately purchased the mare in a move that would revolutionise Waddeston due to the Galileo foal she was carrying. He would, of course, be named Nathaniel. The sale of Magical Romance famously has had a more unfortunate post-script when the mare prematurely foaled the Pivotal filly she was carrying at the time of purchase. Born on December 21, the filly, named

Liel, was at an immediate disadvantage due to the northern hemisphere’s January 1st birth date rule, and although she did race several times, she never won. Better has to come from her three siblings of racing age however, with Dean Swift (Dansili), Modern Tutor (Selkirk) and Love Magic (Dansili) all winning this season. Liel is now alongside her dam at Waddesdon where she has a filly foal by that homebred Breeders’ Cup winner Pounced, who shuttles between Italy and Brazil, and she is once again in foal to him. Certainly the most prolific of the family’s runners this season has been Mince, whose eight starts this year have yielded five victories, including the Bengough Stakes (G3) and two Listed successes. The daughter of Medicean, trained by Roger Charlton, represents the oldest family at Waddesdon, stretching back over several talented generations and which this season also yielded the July Cup (G1) victor Mayson. “I absolutely adore Mince, she really is my

Mixing business with racing Lissa Oliver meets Steve Parkin of Clipper Logistics,owner of this year’s Group 1 Cheveley Park Stakes winner Rosdhu Queen

orkshireman Steve Parkin, chairman of the successful fashion delivery specialists Clipper Logistics Group, founded the company in 1992, building it up from a one-man-and-his-van enterprise to a business that now turns over £200m and employes 3,000 people. Within just 20 years Parkin’s innovative ideas and fresh approach have reputedly changed the face of logistics and, in

www.internationalthoroughbred.net

particular, online shopping. The good news for racing is that he is now focusing that acumen on founding a racing empire. Past form suggests it will become a major force in the coming seasons. Parkin’s passion for horseracing goes back a long way. “As a young boy growing up in Leeds in the 70s the only thing on TV was racing,” he says. “My grandfather and father were both into horses, we lived for it. Fortunately, as I got older and became successful, I have been able to fulfil my dream to own horses.” He has now had racehorses for ten years and this year has enjoyed success at the highest level with horses such as Rosdhu Queen, Beyond Desire, Electrelane, Rocky Ground, as well as November’s debut winner Equity Risk. The horses run in the all-grey colours of Clipper Logistics, and the sponsorship of these horses by Clipper, as well as the jockeys Neil Callan and Daryl Jacob, has proved a very successful way of marketing and promoting its business. “Clipper Logistics is one of the most successful businesses in the sector,” Parkin explains, “and a lot of new business has been won through the racing sponsorship

and corporate hospitality. All men like their football, but, with racing, people can bring their spouses and enjoy a full day out together. We host very successful corporate events and have executive boxes, mainly at York, and it’s proving to be a huge success.” His attention has been drawn to bloodstock, and it becomes immediately obvious that Parkin’s entrepreneurial skills have been put to good use. “I enjoy the racing game and I am an animal lover,” he explains. “I’m intrigued by putting pedigrees together to create a successful bloodline to develop.” Horses are, however, certainly more than just a business to Parkin. Among his favourites are Ubedizzy upon whom he won £10, “which was an absolute fortune!” after investing 50p from his paper round on a Round Robin, and his own filly, the recently retired Beyond Desire, who started the ball rolling for Parkin’s big race successes this year when a Group 3 winner in France in May. “She was my first filly with a pedigree and she will be my foundation mare,” he says, “and she’s a family pet.” She and Parkin’s other horses are also co-owned, in spirit anyway, by his 3,000

employees, who are all encouraged to take an active interest. “We send round a regular update on the horses and they all get a kick out of it. We run various competitions, offer days at the races, chances to own one of the horses for a day, while the Employee of the Month gets a day at the races.” While Parkin may one day think about retirement from business, the horses will be with him for his lifetime. “Sometime in the future I plan to retire and the idea is to create a broodmare band that will become a legacy to carry on into my old age and beyond,” he smiles. He is looking to acquire a stud, preferably in Yorkshire, and plans to sell the colts and keep the fillies. “But I’d be open to change if we felt it was worth keeping one,” he adds. “I suppose 99.9 per cent of racing people have that ambition, but I’m very fortunate in that I have Joe Foley helping me and he’s close to being a genius! If he was involved in any other industry other than racing he would be a multi-millionaire!” Parkin first met Foley shortly after buying his first racehorse, Captain Rio. A company had gone bust and Captain Rio had been among the assets for sale. The son of Pivotal had won the Redcar Two-Year-Old Trophy and the Criterium de Maisons-Laffitte (G2) and went onto win the Waterford Testimonial Stakes and twice finish in the places in Group 3s for Clipper. “He had a few niggly problems,” Parkin recalls, “and never quite reached the heights we hoped. A lot of people were looking to buy him as a stallion, including Joe. We met and hit it off straight away and he has become one of my closest friends. I’m godfather to his daughter and he’s godfather to my daughter.” Parkin has 20 horses in training, most of them successful fillies and six Group horses

www.internationalthoroughbred.net

among them, so the broodmare band will not be long in assembling. “Most of the credit must go to Joe,” Parkin points out, while Foley is equally complimentary about Parkin, whose conduct throughout the sale of Captain Rio marked him out as a man of utmost integrity. “Steve is racing fillies with an eye to the future,” Foley says, “and is also looking for colts, who can develop value and become stallions. Steve is uncompromising on looks and if it looks like a racehorse he’ll buy it, if it doesn’t, he won’t. He’s developed a very keen and shrewd eye. He has his own tastes and he loves the cut and thrust of the sales.”

All of the yearlings go to Foley’s Ballyhane Stud for breaking and pre-training, as well as those horses out of training. “It gives us a great feel for them and that helps us to allocate them to the correct trainer,” Foley explains. “As they progress we may change our minds according to their idiosyncrasies. Each trainer has different types of gallops, different sizes of strings and we give the allocation a fair bit of attention.” Foley believes the current crop of two-yearolds could provide even greater success for Parkin next season, while this year’s yearlings are probably his best yet. A filly by Shamardal out of Indian Belle, an Oasis Dream filly and

here are always those within the industry ready to take advantage of such dreamers and it’s also very easy for newcomers to part with vast sums of money without really knowing what they’re doing. As Parkin says: “New people come in, they’ve got wealth, they have the passion, but they’re like kids in a sweetshop. They get it so badly wrong and then become disillusioned and end up walking away.” He admits to making those same mistakes when first buying horses, and he may have walked away too, but fortunately Foley taught him to become more focused. “Joe took me to one side and said: ‘Listen, you need to understand this industry a little better. If you don’t, you’ll be a loss to racing.’” One thing Parkin still can’t get to grips with is the harm racing often does itself. “It’s not

“

a Stormy Atlantic colt look to be particularly exciting prospects. Parkin’s best day at the races so far came this summer at York, his father’s favourite track, when Rosdhu Queen won the Group 2 Lowther Stakes. “The box seats 16, 20 at the most, and we had 42 in there!” laughs Parkin. “I’m not a drinker, but ended up hammered! You can’t describe that thrill. The highest accolade was when a member of the Shadwell team congratulated me on achieving a Group 1 win from such a small number of horses in so short a space of time – the sizes of our operations are incomparable,” he says. It was a poignant family moment, too – Parkin’s father passed away just three days later. Parkin, who sponsors the veteran riders’ race at Doncaster, now hopes to name the race the Stanley Arthur Veteran Stakes in his memory. Parkin is certainly currently living the dream. “I’ve only been at it a short time,” he admits, “but the one thing I’ve learned is that anyone can buy an expensive horse, they tick all the right boxes. The hard thing to do is play in the £50,000-£100,000 bracket. You’re trying to find a horse that’s not an obvious choice, trying to see through the chinks, the frailties and spot the ones who perhaps have been ill-prepared for the sales. “When I sign that docket at the sales the dream starts. It may eventually die, but I’m living that dream. It’s that thrill, the highs and lows, that make racing so special.”

the most professional industry I’ve ever come across!” he laughs. “In the service sector, in which my company operates, if I were to treat my customers as the racing industry does, I wouldn’t survive. It’s a fantastic sport and marketed properly it will become better. The powers that be are getting their act together and Paul Bittar talks sense. Racing has come a long way, but you can see people becoming disillusioned if they’re not treated right.” Often due to a lack of business skills and social skills trainers have been the biggest miscreants of providing a poor service for owners, which can lead to mistrust. Parkin is aware of that and says: “I now have five or six trainers who will be with me for a long time.” Trust is a crucial factor in any relationship and a cornerstone of all Parkin’s dealings. “In business I’m quite a tough character,” he continues. “I have a regime I like to stick to, but I don’t take those same disciplines into my racing, when I know I should. My rule is to never make the same mistake twice, but in racing I’ll go back and do it again the next year! “It’s difficult, and completely alien to my normal way of working. The thing is, every horse will run, but some won’t run faster than the others. “If you look at football, they’ll talk about tactics, players, the state of the pitch, but they forget the most important thing of all – the ball.” Parkin’s overwhelming aim is to create a legacy for his children and their children and to establish another in the long line of great families that fill the maternal line of pedigrees. Already his young daughters are keen pony riders and insist on having the racing recorded when they’re away at school. “I don’t gamble, I’m in it for the sport and achieving something outside of monetary terms,” he says, his enthusiasm infectious and his desire to improve the industry motivating. He says he’s not interested in getting involved in racing’s politics. Until he changes his mind, that’s racing’s loss.

“

I was looking to have a horse of my own, but Clive was wonderful, he told me that I’d have much more fun if I went in with someone else as partners

fundamental impulse – Deadman’s father Don owned horses and is commemorated by a race at Newbury every year, while Barrow bought in with the proceeds of a bet on Charter Party in the 1988 Gold Cup. “We had a rule in our house that if you won money like that you had to spend it on something trivial,” he says. “So I did. I joined Group 1 Racing, it was very good fun and I had a fair bit of success.” Ah, racing, the great triviality. Somewhere, Phil Bull is smiling. Racing clubs may seem trivial to some, but they wield a double-edged sword that cuts through any cant. Not only do they provide countless thousands with a stake in the sport they would otherwise never possess, but they provide a springboard to many on the principle of little acorns and great oaks. Thus Deadman and Barrow. Deadman “graduated” through membership of Elite Racing, Barrow via various partnerships and a hair of the tail of Non So, winner of the Racing Post Plate at the Cheltenham Festival. Clive Cox: trainer of Reckless Abandon

“

THERE is no algorithm for fun, no universally objective assessment of enjoyment derived. Success, on the other hand – especially in racing – is easily defined. How much money have you won? How many races did you win? Look at the statistics and see. Flat racing is especially prone to this dead-eyed rationalisation of a season’s glories, with the top table the exclusive province of sheikhs, bloodstock tycoons and old, old money. Pleasure usually comes a distant second to business, its presence acknowledged by no more than a quick grin for the cameras and a platitude for the press. Over the jumps, there is less exclusivity. Any man or woman with a big dream, a little money and a fat slice of luck can stumble upon a star, the sheer plausibility of the “it could be me” factor thus evoked giving hope to us all. On the Flat, not so much. Not until you meet Julie Deadman and Stephen Barrow, that is. They thought “it could be me”; it was. The three pre-eminent two-year-old colts of 2012 are all unbeaten: Dawn Approach (Dewhurst), Kingsbarns (Racing Post Trophy) and Reckless Abandon (Middle Park). One is owned by a sheikh, another by bloodstock tycoons. The third is owned by a part-time investment manager and a human resources director who can’t disguise – and have no need to – the sheer thrill and enjoyment of racehorse ownership. Before we even get to talking about the Group 1 wins and the Classic hopes, Deadman and Barrow lay out their philosophy of ownership. “To make good friends and have a jolly good time,” says Deadman. Barrow emphasises the point. “Julie is the perfect racing partner. She loves the horses, she pays her bills, she dances around like a nutter when they win,” he says, mining a seam that he will return to again and again. “The fun of it is the people you do it with. When we had offers from people wanting to buy into Reckless Abandon, and we had quite a few, I simply couldn’t picture myself in the parade ring with Julie dancing around, with my family, with our trainer, and then someone standing on the sidelines who we didn’t know, who’d just bought in.” Both Deadman, 46, and Barrow, also 46, had their interest in racing fostered by racing clubs, those enabling hotbeds of people who dream “it could be me”. Before the racing clubs there was inevitably a more

Deadman later became a partner in the Clive Cox-trained Red Merlin, while Barrow’s first venture into outright ownership had been with the late Mikey Heaton-Ellis, whose yard Cox later took over. The elements that would combine so rewardingly with Reckless Abandon were in place, and Cox was the catalyst. Few matchmakers can have done such a fine job. “I was looking to have a horse of my own, but Clive was wonderful, he told me that I’d have much more fun if I went in with someone else as partners,” says Deadman. Cox riffled the pages of his little black book, found the right name. “Julie was in a box one afternoon at Newbury, and Clive invited me up to join them and didn’t tell me why,” says Barrow. “Good for him.” Good for all of them. Their first two horses were that time-honoured blend of slow and unwilling, but there is a reason why people say “third time lucky”. “It was last September,” says Barrow. “I wasn’t working at the time, Julie hadn’t had a very good experience with her two horses, so we said we’d roll the dice again. “Clive had bought several yearlings at the Doncaster sales, so we went out to look at them and one of them was an absolute standout. He had a swagger, he just had that look about him.” The bay son of Exchange Rate was theirs for £24,000 and was given the name Reckless Abandon, a choice that further underpins a refreshing philosophy of ownership, deriving from a saying of the Dalai Lama that “you should approach love and cooking with reckless abandon”. “Our idea of ownership is all about having good experiences rather than concentrating on material things,” says Barrow. “I was just amazed that the name hadn’t already gone. Good horses have good names, don’t they?”. But good names don’t necessarily make good stable names. It doesn’t lend itself to an

nd a name was born, and a star with it. Reckless Abandon, carrying the blue-spotted silks of Deadman’s late father, embarked on what was not so much a learning curve as an arc of exponential improvement, following his maiden win with victory in the Norfolk Stakes at Royal Ascot. Royal Ascot was naturally a high spot – “It really hit me when I found myself being given the trophy by Katherine Jenkins,” says Deadman – but better was to come. Deadman’s favourite day was at MaisonsLaffitte for the Prix Robert Papin, when she first realised quite how good Reckless Abandon was and enjoyed (that word again) a totally different, entirely Gallic, racing experience. That race was chosen over the Weatherbys Super Sprint partly because Barrow has a keen eye on the heritage of the sport, likes to follow the Pattern, is not particularly enamoured of all the lucrative sales races, because for him it’s not about money but about enjoyment and he enjoys looking at Reckless Abandon’s name nestling among the famous names of big races past. Barrow relished the Morny more, the historic Deauville contest a race targeted by racing’s aristocracy and won by a working man’s horse. “It’s a race that makes stallions,” he says, and is thrilled that the name of Reckless Abandon appears in the Morny records alongside the likes of My Swallow, Blushing Groom, Arazi and Zafonic. His comment about making stallions

affectionate shortening, does it, old Reckless, old Abandon. No. So what do you call him away from the racecourse? The Dalai Lama might blush. “We call him Billy Big-Balls,” says Deadman, briefly deadpan but soon dissolved in laughter. “I was loitering around the yard one morning, and obviously Clive couldn’t have been aware that I was standing outside Reckless Abandon’s box. “Clive was tacking him up and he said to whoever was in there with him ‘this horse has got the biggest pair of balls I’ve ever seen!’ When he walked out he said ‘oh, no, did you hear that?’. He saw my face and realised I had.”

leads nicely into the next twist in the tale, for now Reckless Abandon was becoming a bloodstock prospect. It was something else for Deadman and Barrow to think about. “From Doncaster onwards, his first win, we’d had offers,” says Barrow. “One or two people wanted to buy him to have a Royal Ascot runner, which we didn’t want to do, so we decided we had to think about our strategy. “Inevitably, these deals are done on a private market basis, and on the private market you’re not going to get exactly what you want. “Our primary objectives were not financial, but rather that the horse could go on to have a career that we could still enjoy and then a stud career we could participate in. Naturally, that reduced the number of potential players. “We want to be involved in racing for a long time and it’s a tiny world, everyone knows everyone else, so we went to the professionals to take the pressure off us and Clive. It’s what they do for a living, so we let them get on with it.” Barrow’s avowal that their primary objectives were not financial strikes a

familiar note, and it’s no surprise when he announces that they didn’t get the highest price they could have done but were delighted with the scope of the deal done with Sheikh Mohammed. “It was the best transaction for us and the horse,” he says. “It was a very fair price and all the right conditions were met – the horse stays with Clive, which is great, because we knew how disappointed everyone at the yard would have been if he’d gone elsewhere and we weren’t willing to do that just for a few extra quid. “We lease him back for next season, he runs in our name and colours, and at the end of next season he goes to stud with Darley. He’s won two Group 1s and has already made his case to be a stallion.” That subsequent victory in the Middle Park Stakes underpinned the colt’s eligibility for making use of the assets that earned his nickname, and now the focus turns excitedly to next season. Deadman points out that there is only one question to be answered: will he stay a mile or won’t he? The subject will gain illumination in a Classic trial over 7f next spring, whereupon he’ll either be aimed at the 2,000 Guineas or the July Cup. “There can’t really be any disagreement between us, the trainer or the people at Darley,” adds Deadman. “When you’ve got a horse this good, he’ll decide what route he takes.” Reckless Abandon is notable for his enthusiastic style of racing, a simple style that involves going as fast as he can from stalls to line. He has the stomach for a fight, too, as displayed by his disinclination to knuckle under when headed in the Middle Park and

instead to fight his way back into the lead. Something will surely have to give among those unbeaten colts in 2013, but Barrow doesn’t think it’ll be this colt. “His cruising speed is so high that nothing can keep up,” he says. “We’ve no idea when he’s going to stop because he’s won all his races with his ears pricked. Oh, I’d love to see if Dawn Approach can keep up with him!” Barrow and Deadman reinvested some of their profits at the sales this autumn and will have a couple of two-year-olds – Dream Sika, a son of Elnadim, and an as-yet-unnamed Mastercraftsman colt from October Book 2 – to go into battle with. The only question they won’t answer is how much they sold Reckless Abandon for, but the detail is rendered superfluous by a much better answer. “We can’t tell you how much we got but we can tell you that it has changed our lives,” says Barrow, and you don’t need to parse his words too studiously to appreciate that he is not talking only about the financials. The prize-money and the proceeds from the sale have indeed allowed Deadman to

change her working life, but the impression is that she sees that as a secondary concern in comparison with – and it is a cliché, but there is abundant truth in clichés – being able to live the dream. “One thing that has struck me as Reckless Abandon has gone through the season is that everyone I’ve been associated with in racing, from the past to the present, has been pleased for us,” says Barrow, who along with Deadman is throwing a big party for everyone involved with the horse to show their appreciation. “They’re pleased because it shows that it can be done. It gives everybody a bit of hope. You can’t buy this feeling, and it’s so nice to be able to share it with someone.” Not everyone understands that, though, as Deadman explains. “At Newmarket, I was having a good old shout as he came back to win the Middle Park. But this woman behind me leaned over and said ‘can you keep the noise down, anyone would think you actually owned the horse!’ ” Some people don’t get it, will never get it. But, win or lose, Deadman and Barrow get what it’s supposed to be all about. “You probably can’t print this,” says Barrow, underestimating the power of the press, “but there is an element of superstition in all this. “I’ve got lucky pants for when he runs, my wife has lucky pants, Julie has lucky pants, her partner has lucky pants –we’ve all got lucky pants. It’s just part of it.” One day someone may come up with an equation to quantify enjoyment, a formula for fun. When they do, lucky pants will definitely be in there somewhere.

older stallion review

Will Frankel follow in his sires's and grandsire's record-breaking hoofprints at stud?

www.internationalthoroughbred.net

he year provided yet another example of just how extraordinary is the legacy of Sadler’s Wells. For the late, great horse, who died at the age of 30 in 2011, is still breaking records, his latest with a statistic that only he may match in the future. In 2008 he became only the second stallion ever to be responsible for the champion Flat sire and champion jump sire in the same year, courtesy of Galileo and Old Vic. The first had been Cyllene in 1920, with Polymelus on the Flat and Zria over jumps. Sadler’s Wells’s jumping prowess is, of course, entirely incidental to his excellence as a Flat patriarch. But Sadler’s Wells has now not only achieved the cross-code feat for the second time, with Galileo and King’s Theatre, but has also, uniquely, supplied each runnerup as well, Montjeu and Oscar. As truly great sires develop, each does so in his own way and to be a prolific sire of superior racehorses does not necessarily lead to enduring male-line influence, Habitat and Nijinsky being cases in point. A horse needs stallion sons and grandsons for real immortality and, therefore, can only be judged at a distance of time. When Phalaris, for instance, died at 18 in 1931, he was summed up as a progenitor as “highly satisfactory”. He went on to be rather more than that – through his sons Pharos and Sickle have come some of the major modern stallion successes, including Northern Dancer, Blushing Groom, Mill Reef and Mr Prospector. Northern Dancer (by Phalaris’s great-great grandson Nearctic) was, it hardly needs stating, an outstanding sire of both high-class runners and potent stallions worldwide. His son Sadler’s Wells proved himself a phenomenon in the former department, a record 14-times champion, but had to wait a little for true success in the latter. In the words of Coolmore Stud boss John Magnier “the cavalry arrived” in the form of Galileo and Montjeu. And now the signs are that Galileo, who is not only setting milestones of his own with runners, may carry on his sire’s baton through the generations. Galileo’s finest legacy to the sport is the peerless Frankel, among the very best horses to grace a racecourse, in any time or place. But, even without the unbeaten champion’s earnings in 2012, Galileo would have taken his fourth championship. And though he has

Still breaking records

Sue Montgomery sees that Sadler’s Wells is still wielding a remarkable influence some way to go before matching his sire’s 14 titles, he is already ahead of the game in many respects. Few high-class runners go on to get horses rated better than themselves and in his long career even Sadler’s Wells did it only with Montjeu, Galileo himself and Old Vic. In half the time, Galileo already has two superior sons on the board, Rip Van Winkle having preceded Frankel. And at the same stages of their second careers, with eight crops running, Sadler’s Wells had 38 Group or Grade 1 victories from 24 individuals. Galileo now has 66 from 31. Given that the first four of Galileo’s progeny to retire to stud have already made a mark – New Approach and Teofilo with Group 1 winners, Sixties Icon and Heliostatic with results far better than might have been expected – the careers of those to come will be keenly anticipated. Rip Van Winkle and Soldier Of Fortune have yearlings in 2013, Cape Blanco his first foals and Frankel and Nathaniel their first mates. On the track Galileo would have done well in 2012 to match his record seasonal total of the previous campaign, when 11 of his sons and daughters captured 19 top-level contests worldwide. But he gave it a fair shot; Frankel did his bit again with five victories, backed up by one each from Nathaniel, Was, Great Heavens, Golden Lilac, Imperial Monarch and Kingsbarns in these parts, plus Niwot in Australia and Igugu in South Africa. As far as 2013 Classic honours are concerned, Galileo already has the strong winter favourite for the Derby in Kingsbarns, who took the Racing Post Trophy on his second outing, and plenty other promising types prominent in the betting, notably Battle Of Marengo, Mars, Theatre, Telescope, The United States and Foundry. No stallion had more runners in Europe during 2012 than Galileo, a function of the size of his books but more to the point a testament to the durability and mental stability (“minds of concrete” according to

Aidan O’Brien) of his stock that makes them so trainable. His winners-to-runners ratio was one of the best (35 per cent in Britain and Ireland at the end of the turf season) and in the same period in Britain and Ireland he was the only horse to notch a three-figure total of individual winners. Expand that to Europe and he was numerically second best, behind Oasis Dream. He won his British and Irish title with record earnings and by a record margin and such is his dominance and commercial desirability that his progeny took an unprecedented top six places on the Tattersalls Book 1 auction leader board, including three at seven figures headed by the 2.5 million guinea colt, Hydrogen. He was a 23rd consecutive champion for Coolmore, the last not to stand there being Blushing Groom in 1989.

Departed Montjeu the king of Epsom Galileo, though, cannot yet match the record at Epsom of his former stud-mate Montjeu, whose loss early in the year to septicaemia at the age of only 16 was such a devastating blow. Though his best runner of 2013, Camelot, missed the holy grail of the Triple Crown in the St Leger, he had already provided a fine posthumous tribute with his sire’s first 2,000 Guineas and fourth Derby winner after Motivator, Authorized and Pour Moi. St Nicholas Abbey, consistent at the top level for the second season, Mount Athos, Askar Tau and Rougemont helped make it a one-two for the Coolmore pair on the earnings leader board for the second successive year. Further afield Melbourne Cup hero Green Moon, who, incidentally, when trained in Britain beat none other than Dubai World Cup winner Monterosso in a

handicap at Newbury, and Joshua Tree added to the Group and Grade 1 tally. Pour Moi, the Derby winner of 2011, is already at work at Coolmore and although Camelot was at the County Tipperary establishment for his convalescence after lateseason colic surgery, it is to be hoped that the plan to return him to Ballydoyle for a 2013 campaign comes to fruition. The jury is still out over the status of Montjeu, Sadler’s Wells’ best runner, as a sire of sires, but it is early days yet, with such as Hurricane Run and Authorized, his own best performers, only at the start of their careers and both likely to get offspring who need time. Though from different packages, both the Coolmore stars are prime sources of Classic and middle-distance class; the only senior top-level winner at less than a mile for either has been Galileo’s Mahbooba in South Africa. They were both bred to excel at 1m4f (Galileo out of Arc heroine Urban Sea, Montjeu out of a Royal-Oak runner-up by Top Ville), and did.

Britain, the top two by Danehill. The top-class Australian sprinter Exceed And Excel, highest-placed of any Darley horse, had Excelebration to represent him at the highest level, backed up by progressive Fulbright and speedy juveniles Heavy Metal and Bungle Inthejungle.

Dansili: the model of consistency Banstead Manor-based Dansili, in the top five for the third consecutive year, had three Group 1-winning fillies – The Fugue, Giofra and Fallen For You, who brought his number of victorious top-level individuals to 11 – as well as near-miss sprinter Bated Breath, who is joining his sire at stud. Dansili’s Group winners scored from 5f to 1m4f and included the prolific Famous Name, who retired with 20 Group or Listed victories.

older stallion review Pivotal: will 2013 be a turning point? Cheveley Park’s Pivotal, a top ten regular, had only Izzi Top score for him at Group 1 level, but there were near-misses for Saint Baudolino and Farhh, the Polar Falcon horse’s highest-rated runner to date. The four-year-old was fast-tracked from handicaps to notch a third and four seconds at the highest level and although he was also one of Frankel’s punchbags, he went down only narrowly to Nathaniel in the Eclipse Stakes and to Moonlight Cloud in the Moulin. His turn will surely come in 2013.

who produce high-class runners tend to continue to do so; their record gives them the opportunities that count for much, though some years are better than others. By his own standards, Danehill Dancer had a quiet time, not helped when his progressive daughter Duntle had her sire’s sole Group 1 European success, in the Matron Stakes, snatched from her in the stewards’ room.

Dubawi the international sire

The other top-class Banstead Manor resident Oasis Dream had his banner carried by Irish 2,000 Guineas winner Power, Sri Putra and the smart juvenile Gale Force Ten. His winners-to-runners strike rate was bettered only by the late Monsun, sire of Arc third Masterstroke and Princess of Wales’ Stakes winner, and Melbourne Cup runner-up, Fiorente, from a smaller sample.

The youngest in the top ten is ten-year-old Dubawi, who topped and tailed his year with Monterosso and Hunter’s Light. The legacy of his brilliant, short-lived sire Dubai Millennium hangs on him but, as Blushing Groom found out with Rainbow Quest, one horse will do. Dubawi’s record as a sire reflects the international aspirations of the Godolphin operation for whom he raced; the Dalham Hall resident’s nine top-level winners so far have scored on five different continents in eight different countries.

Another of the Danehill-Coolmore brigade, Holy Roman Emperor, is on the Classic list for the first time with his second-

Young sires take high order The trick for first-season sires is to keep it going and three who took high rank on that 2011 list, Dark Angel, Teofilo and Red Clubs, another undoubted loss to the industry, have done so with top-20 places. Teofilo, at Kildangan, has outperformed his sire, but emulated his grandsire, by getting Group 1 winners (Parish Hall and Loch Garman) in both his first crops. The three best European-trained colts of their generation, New Approach, Henrythenavigator and Raven’s Pass, have gone straight to the top of the latest first-crop table, a happy omen for the future. The Dewhurst Stakes of 2012 provided a remarkable action replay as Dawn Approach followed Parish Hall onto the roll of honour. Both colts are from the first crop of a son of Galileo, New Approach and Teofilo respectively. Both are trained by Jim Bolger, who also trained their sires. Both stallions capped unbeaten juvenile racing careers in what is arguably Europe’s top juvenile contest. And both are now standing under the Darley banner.

hese figures are the results in the major European racing countries of those crops born in 2007, 2008 and 2009, that is the three-year-olds of 2010, 2011 and 2012, writes Jocelyn de Moubray. The older horses are well established and go through fewer variations as, if they have retained popularity, they are able to attract a consistent level of support. For the younger sires it makes sense to look at them as a group depending on when they retired to stud. Only a horse such as Frankel is going to attract a similar quality of mares throughout his first five seasons, and there are not any other horses like Frankel. The leading sires of the 2003 class look to be of a broadly similar quality on these figures, though Invincible Spirit is likely to move away from the others over the coming

years, due to the quality of mares he has been covering since 2007. The Irish National Stud’s sire’s figures are pulled down by the numbers as his first four crops were conceived before his success became clear. His 2009 crop, when he was standing at €75,000, puts him up with the best sires in Europe. Sakhee has struggled to get the support his record deserves and is now heading to Yorton Farm to be a dual-purpose sire, while Rock Of Gibraltar spent a year in Japan and will never be as popular as the excellent two-year-old sire Kyllachy – his 2012 yearling median was 37,000gns compared with 25,000gns for Rock of Gibraltar. Zamindar is the one whose record is likely to improve as his first post-Zarkava horses will be three-year-olds next year, and include several promising two-year-olds in France.

older stallion review The next group are all at the lowest point of their careers in terms of these figures, which reflect the results of their third, fourth and fifth crops i.e. those conceived before they had runners. The only one, who bounced back with the 2009 crop, is Acclamation as his success came immediately with his first twoyear-olds. Oasis Dream is the one whose fee has risen the highest and whose record should be transformed over the next two years, while Dalakhani’s peak three-yearolds should come in 2013 and 2014. Oasis Dream, Dalakhani and High Chaparral still received plenty of support at the yearling sales and so many expect them to have two good years ahead. The next group are measured on their second, third and fourth crops. Exceed And Excel has proved to be a consistent quality sire, even if Excelebration has taken him to a different level. From 2015 his record should step up. American Post remains a most underrated stallion, particularly as his progeny would be popular in England as they tend to be precocious milers. Elusive City’s third and fourth crops were ordinary, but his fifth already look to be better two-year-olds and his sixth could well be very successful as juveniles in France in 2013. Dubawi and Shamardal’s group are measured on their first three crops. There are those who feel that Dubawi has disappointed recently, but his third crop was only 79 strong and at that point few people believed in him as a stallion. This crop still includes

older stallion review numerous good horses headed by Hermival, Akeed Mofeed and other group performers. Dubawi and Shamardal are both heading to be important stallions for years to come. This Darley pair cold still be joined by Azamour, who continues to get great figures with few foals, and Motivator, particularly now he has moved to France where his best results have come. Azamour had only 34 three-year-olds in 2012, but they included an unbeaten champion in Valyra. The Gilltown stallion will have another quiet year, in numbers of three-year-olds, in 2013, but in 2014 and 2015 he will have more than 200 three-yearolds running and so by then it will be clear whether or not he is a top sire. Motivator’s stud career has been hampered by injury and he had no yearlings in 2012. However, he looks to have his best two-yearolds to date in 2012 and Ridasyina is his first top horse. Shirocco and Hurricane Run have both produced top-class horses, but it is difficult for stallions who produced late-developing, middle-distance horses to make a mark in England and Ireland. Hurricane Run’s third crop of two-year-olds looks to be his best, including First Cornerstone, and he should be popular at his new base at Gestüt Ammerland. Shirocco would be very popular indeed if he were to stand in Germany as in Wild Coco, Shirocco Star, Brown Panther and Hantani he has produced three horses of the type every German breeder dreams about. Iffraaj’s third crop of two-year-olds was better than his second, but the time to judge him will be at the end of 2014 after the big crop he conceived at €15,000 in 2011 has run. Azamour: gets good results from few foals

Stallion Q and A: Geoffrey Howson Which stallion would you use if you had...? A maiden mare, but did not want to spend more than £ / €10,000 and are looking to sell the foal as a yearling? With a maiden mare, I would be looking for a stallion that sires plenty of two-year-old winners in order to quickly enhance the mare’s page. Compton Place is good value at £6,500 – his yearlings averaged 25,613gns in 2012 – while Bahamian Bounty fits the criteria too at £10,000 and his yearlings sold for an average of 34,121gns this autumn. Clodovil and Kodiac in Ireland represent good value at their 2012 stud fees. A maiden mare, but happy to spend up to £ / €30,000 and are selling? Dutch Art: he maintains continued success in the sales ring as a result of his winners-to-runners record being so impressive. I have had success with Holy Roman Emperor and he produces horses who seem to run! Dark Angel produces tough horses, who have lots of ability and want to win. You have a black-type maiden mare, she’s the best on the farm, and you are planning to sell the yearling? A foal share to Galileo wouldn’t be a bad start. Invincible Spirit, Oasis Dream or Dansili wouldn’t be bad either...! You would like to use a first-season sire as a commercial sales prospect? Yes, I would certainly consider it as many yearling/foal purchasers like to buy the dream and this gives them just that. A mare for an owner-breeder and happy to spend up to £ / €50,000? Teofilio has made a most impressive start with his first two crops and I have been impressed with New Approach and Raven's Pass’ first seasons and have seen enough to think they are going to be the real deal. A mare for an owner-breeder and wished to spend less than £ / €10,000? Halling: his stock progress with age and a filly could be an interesting broodmare prospect. Zamindar, if I thought the mare would throw a filly, and Clodovil. You are going to take a gamble on a sire who is yet to have runners – what would you use? Bushranger and, less obvious, Intense Focus. You would like to cover your mare with a French-based sire? Le Havre: his first yearlings sold this year averaged 27,323gns. He stands at €5,000 with a bonus to the owner of his first Group winner. He has excellent conformation. I have been impressed by Myboycharlie’s yearlings, and, as a proven stallion, Muhtathir. Your filly is racing in the US and is to be covered out there? Smart Strike. You want to try and put a bit more speed into your family? Invincible Spirit or his brother Kodiac. Acclamation or his son Dark Angel – depending on budget! Your mare is a bit incorrect through her front legs? A stallion that is correct...! Sea The Stars if the budget allows. You want a bit of an outcross? Acclamation wouldn’t be a bad one! You are hoping to get a filly to join a broodmare band in the future? Pivotal, and funds permitting, Galileo, Dansili and, in conjunction to the answer to the final question, Frankel! Are hoping for bids from both Darley and Coolmore at the yearling sales? Acclamation, Dansili, Oasis Dream, Dutch Art, Bushranger. Want to make sure you get an invite to the Darley lunch? Teofilo. If you could chose any mare or filly in the world to send to Frankel, which would it be? Magnificent Style.

older stallion review Each successive crop of Holy Roman Emperor appears to be getting better, despite the fact that his fee dropped every year. His third crop of two-year-olds is the best to date and he appears now to be producing the type of fast precocious horses, which will make him a very popular sire. Only Kheleyf had more two-year-old winners in 2012 than Holy Roman Emperor whose best horses included the French-

trained Morandi. The older sires change the least, however Monsun’s statistics for his expensive crops have been even better and, if he has not had the expected success in England or Ireland, the results have come elsewhere from Germany to France and Australia and his last two crops of yearlings should sell at a real premium. Dansili’s results have improved in line

with the rise in his stud fee, but perhaps the most significant mover has been Cheveley Park’s Medicean, who has moved ahead of his stud companion Pivotal judging by results from recent crops. Medicean gets horses who improve with age and it was his four-year-old fillies Siyouma and Sapphire who won his most prestigious races, even if the three-year-olds Bayrir and Mince are also top class.

2nd-season stallions

Turned upside-down Stallions standing at lower fees have risen to the top in the 2nd-season sire’s table

n March 2009, Bear Stearns became the first major investment bank to go under. In the bloodstock world few were aware of the approaching financial crisis and the new stallions in Europe, who had started covering a few weeks earlier, included several standing at high fees, writes Jocelyn de Moubray. The Coolmore sires Dylan Thomas and Excellent Art started out at €50,000 and €25,000, while Darley’s newcomers included

Teofilo and Manduro at €40,000 and Authorized at £25,000. Ballylinch’s Lawman set out at €25,000. Even at those fees these sires were popular with breeders. In his first two crops Dylan Thomas had around 250 foals and Lawman about 170. Nearly four years later, and after these crops have both reached the racecourse, the hierarchy of this group of sires has been turned upside down. They still look like a group of quality stallions, but the two, who have turned out to be the best investment for breeders, started their careers at a lower level.

Over-achievers: Dutch Art and Dark Angel The two major winners, those whose progeny have surpassed expectations, are

Dark Angel: he and Dutch Art are the only stallions in this group who got higher yearling medians in 2012 than in 2009

www.internationalthoroughbred.net

Cheveley Park’s Dutch Art, who stood at £10,000, and Morristown Lattin’s Dark Angel, whose first fee was €10,000. Dutch Art retired to stud after a slightly disappointing three-year-old career. The son of Medicean was placed in four of Europe’s best Group 1s at three, but did not win again after success in the Group 1 Prix Morny as a juvenile. Of all these sires only Dutch Art and Dark Angel recorded a higher yearling median price in 2012 than in 2009, with the median of Dutch Art’s yearlings going from 22,000gns in 2009 to 42,000gns in 2012, nearly nine times his 2011 stud fee. Dutch Art has sired two colts who have been among the best of their age at two – last year Caspar Netscher, who went on to win the German 2,000 Guineas at three, and Van Der Neer,

2nd-season stallions who was second in the Group 1 Racing Post Trophy this year. Dutch Art’s success is, however, down to far more than two good horses from 200-odd foals. The son of Medicean produces exactly the type of horses the British commercial market is looking for: a high proportion of all of his runners are winners, and a high proportion of his foals run at two. What has been a revelation in 2012 has been the number of the two-year-olds from his first crop who have continued to win and run consistently well as three-year-olds. Dutch Art produces fast horses, 88 per cent of his three-year-olds’ wins have come over a mile or shorter, but this is where most opportunities lie. It has been another feature of Dutch Art’s success that his progeny have also thrived in both France and Germany and so are well suited to different racing environments. With better mares and broader international support, Dutch Art could yet turn into a major stallion. Dark Angel has a very similar record and profile to Dutch Art, and if his progeny are not as sought after in the market, his yearling median still progressed from 15,000gns in 2009 to 23,000gns in 2012. Dark Angel needs to get a top horse for his standing in the market to reflect fully his success; it is extraordinary but one top horse counts for more than 100 ordinary ones. Both crops by the son of Acclamation have included a high proportion of winners, two-year-old winners, and repeat winners, yet he still needs a really good one to really stamp his mark. Despite having had fewer foals in his first crop than some of the others, Dark Angel had the largest number of three-year-old wins, while he has also sired two Group 2 winners and many very useful sprinters and milers. Dark Angel and Dutch Art have both made excellent starts for horses who started out as relatively cheap stallions. To become very successful commercial sires they both need a Group 1 winner, but as they are both producing enough horses rated 110 or higher, it surely should just be a matter of time.

Promising: Lawman and Excellent Art Lawman and Excellent Art both stood at €25,000 when they retired to stud and have a similar profile as stallions. Both produce mainly sprinter/milers, but around 30 per cent of their three-year-old winners have come over further.

The middle-distance second-season boys

uthorized, Dylan Thomas, Manduro, Rail Link, Sir Percy and Teofilo are all middle-distance stallions as the proportion of their three-year-olds wins are over further than a mile and range from 100 per cent for Rail Link to 76 per cent for Teofilo. If taking them in alphabetical order, Authorized has yet to produce a horse anywhere near as good as he was, and his first crop was clearly disappointing. His second has got off to a better start and he has several promising two-year-olds in 2012 headed by the Irish Listed winner Sugar Boy. Dylan Thomas has also made a slow start, particularly considering the number of mares he covered in his first two seasons at €50,000 and €35,000, while Manduro’s first crop turned out to be disappointing as well, even though at one stage he looked like making a spectacular start. Mandean, Trois Lunes, Bonfire and Fractional were all top-class horses at one point or another, but none of them went on to build a career. Little has come out of Manduro’s second crop in England or Ireland, but he has Charity Line, a promising maiden winner in Italy, and two of the best two-year-olds in Germany, Wildheart and Royal Fox. Rail Link had fewer opportunities than some of his rivals and still produced three top-class horses in Last Train, Sediciosa and Bugie D’Amore, but his progeny appear to be later developing stayers, which will make it difficult for the son of Dansili as a commercial stallion. Sir Percy has had a high proportion of two-year-old runners from both of his first two crops, but as three-year-olds his winners have overwhelmingly come over further than a mile. Numbers count for stallions and if too many foals tend to submerge a horse, too few make it difficult to get noticed. Sir Percy’s first two crops were small, but Lanwades Stud’s Derby winner has come up with some useful performers and in Wake Forest, the easy winner of Germany’s richest two-year-old race, he may have a star in 2013. Sir Percy has covered many more mares in each of the last two seasons and so will get a second chance to make a real mark in 2015 and 2016. Teofilo’s best three horses to date, the Group 1 winners Parish Hall and Loch Garman, and the Group 2 winner Light Heavy, have all been owned, bred and trained by Jim Bolger whose life-time breeding rights to the horse he also owned, bred and trained, have certainly helped establish Teofilo’s stallion career. The best Teofilo’s have turned into middle-distance horses as three-year-olds, but the son of Galileo will need to have a good year in 2013 if he is to remain among the more expensive stallions. This group of sires also include some stars based on the continent. Turtle Bowl made a fantastic beginning to his stud career, which continues now at Shadai Farm in Japan. Soldier Hollow, who stood at Gestüt Röttgen at the beginning of his career, is now at Gestüt Auenquelle and is the main contender to become Germany’s next leading sire. His first crop of only 50 foals included the multiple Group 1 winner Pastorius, who is rated the second best three-year-old in Europe after his fourth place to Frankel in the Champion Stakes at Ascot in October. Soldier Hollow has also produced several other useful three-year-olds, including the stakes winners Dessau and Sworn Sold, as well as Kassiano, a multiple winner who was sold at the Arc Sale to go to Dubai. From a German perspective the only doubt about this son of In The Wings is that despite having had a Derby winner in his first crop his progeny look to be at their best at distances between a mile and 1m2f furlongs, though this speed should make him more attractive for foreign breeders and yearling buyers. Of the 30 races won by Soldier Hollow’s three-year-olds, 65 per cent were over more than a mile, while only 10 per cent were over 1m4f or further Soldier Hollow was well supported in 2012 and will once again receive many of the best mares, who stay to be covered in Germany in 2013.

2nd-season stallions

Kendargent: the surprise package Few would have given Kendargent much of a chance, but he looks even more successful now than he did a year ago. The two stars of Kendargent’s tiny first crop, Restiadargent and Kendam, were both Group 1 placed at three and the son of Kendor’s larger second crop already includes three stakes quality horses in Kensea, Kenhope and Onedargent. Kendargent’s progeny should be attractive in England and Ireland as they tend to be precocious and to be at their best over 6f and 7f. They are also attractive yearlings and from only six yearlings he has a 2012 average price of 45,000gns and a median of 53,000gns. The Haras de Colleville’s stallion was syndicated at the end of 2011 and was supported in 2012 by many top breeders, including Shadai Farm, the Wertheimers and the Wildenstein family. The Haras d’Etreham’s Stormy River has also made a good start as a stallion without attracting the same attention as Kendargent. His progeny do not tend to be two-year-olds and at three stay further than he himself did, but he has come up with plenty of good winners from average mares.

Excellent Art is proving to be a surprising source of stamina as several of his best winners, Hazel Lavery, Sparkling Portrait, Blue Surf and Tropaios are 1m2f and 1m4f winners. Lawman looks like a very promising sire as Ballylinch’s son of Invincible Spirit has two Group 1 winners – Most Improved and Law Enforcement, with the latter’s win in the Gran Criterum coinciding with a run of three Group winners in three days wth US Law and Just The Judge winning Group races in SaintCloud and Newmarket the same weekend. If Just The Judge and US Law look like becoming milers, Law Enforcement could easily stay further as he is out of a sister to Racing Post Trophy (G1) winner Armiger. Among Lawman’s best three-year-olds Force Of Darkness improved throughout the year and put up about her best performance on her last start over 1m5f on the very soft ground on Arc weekend. However, Lawman still gets a high proportion of two-year-old runners – around half of his foals have started at two. As threeyear-olds they tend to stay further than the progeny of his sire Invincible Spirit – 33 per cent of Lawman’s progeny wins at three have come over further than a mile.

1st-season stallions

Dawn Approach leads home Sir Prancealot (Tamayuz) in the Coventry. The colt went onto win two Group 1s and 70% of New Approach’s progeny earnings

Approaching a new Dawn

Darley’s first-season sire New Approach led from day one, writes Jocelyn de Moubray

t is impossible to judge accurately any stallion’s ability after one crop of its two-year-olds has reached the racetrack. There are sires such as Galileo and Dansili, who looked to be only average sires at that stage of their careers, while others such as Vettori or Fasliyev originally appeared to be heading for stardom. The market does, however, make judgements and if it has got it wrong it will just have to readjust in the future. Commercial breeders have to make some sort of a reasoned guess – as the rewards for getting it right can be huge, the yearling market is still dominated by the progeny of young stallions. The clear winner of this year’s European first-season sires’ race is Darley’s New Approach as the son of Galileo’s first crop included Dawn Approach, the winner of Group 1 races in England and Ireland and

www.internationalthoroughbred.net

Europe’s champion juvenile. Dawn Approach accounts for nearly 70 per cent of his sire’s winnings, but it might have been different if Princess Haya’s filly Newfangled had not died after an accident during the Lowther Stakes (G2) as she had looked very good indeed when winning her first two starts. There will be very few outside nominations available to New Approach in 2013 and the horse has clearly made an excellent start. He covered large books of mares in his second and third years at stud and given his own race record there is no reason why New Approach should not confirm his position in the years to come. A bigger surprise was the success of another son of Galileo, Sixties Icon, who was one of the stars from Galileo’s first crop. Sixties Icon is a St Leger winner out of an Oaks-winning dam and he himself did not run at two and never ran over a distance shorter than 1m2f. And yet, by the end

of July, Sixties Icon was the sire of seven winners of 12 races, all over 5f, 6f or 7f. Sixties Icon’s problem will be the lack of support he received in his second and third years at stud, but he will certainly get a chance to prove now that he can establish a position as a stallion. Nearly all of Sixties Icon’s winners were either bred by or trained by Mick Channon, which is a clear illustration of how a stallion’s career can be decided by management. Sixties Icon and New Approach are the only two of these young sires with more than 40 per cent winners-to-runners and as a result of their achievements, sons of Galileo have become more popular than ever as stallions. Soldier Of Fortune’s first yearlings sold exceptionally well averaging more than three times his fee of €10,000, and, for the future, Galileo has Rip Van Winkle, Cape Blanco and Roderic O’Connor, with Nathaniel and Frankel to come.

Good vibes for Raven’s Pass and Tamayuz Two other stallions who will start their fifth seasons with their reputations enhanced are Raven’s Pass and Tamayuz. Darley’s Raven’s Pass and Shadwell’s Tamayuz both had relatively small first crops, and will have even smaller ones to race over the next few years as they both covered only around 120 mares in their second and third seasons combined. As long as they continue to come up with high-class horses this lack of numbers should help their commercial reputation and the value of their yearlings. Raven’s Pass was a top two-year-old himself and so it is not surprising that half of his first crop had run by the beginning of November. His best progeny to date are the Group 1 performer Steeler and Race And Status, who was third in the high-class Tattersalls sales race on only his second career start. Raven’s Pass’s own career brought attention and mares to his sire Elusive Quality in 2009, and subsequently his two-year-olds impressed throughout 2012 and include two of England’s best in Certify and Ghurair. Tamayuz ran badly on his only start outside France and his own sire Nayef is no longer fashionable, which explains why he covered small books in his second and third years. He, too, has proved to be a sire of

two-year-olds as nearly half of his foals have run with his best being the 6f performers Sir Prancelot and Taayel. Tamayuz is, of course, from Galileo and Sea The Stars’s family and it will be surprising if he does not get some three-year-olds who stay further.

The future for the Duke? Among those sires who started out with expensive nominations the disappointment so far has been Duke Of Marmalade, who is clearly not going to be a sire of two-yearolds. Coolmore’s son of Kingmambo could still be a top sire nevertheless and for those breeders who have mares in foal to him it is worth pointing out that his record at this stage is almost identical to Galileo’s in 2005. The champion sire had 41 runners for eight winners and three horses rated 95 or higher in his first crop. Duke Of Marmalade needs to come up with some top three-year-olds in May or June next year, and as there are 80 or so of his progeny who have yet to race it is still possible. If he doesn’t, there will be plenty of breeders losing money as he covered as many as 344 mares in his second and third seasons at €30,000 and €25,000.

A good start for the Mount Mount Nelson has made a much more

impressive start, even though less than a third of his foals had made it to the racecourse by early November. Newsells Park Stud’s stallion has produced Purr Along, a Group winner in Deauville who came within a short head of Certify in a Group 2 at Doncaster, the stakes performers Ninjago and Give Way Nelson, as well as two promising fillies in France, Lasdramad and Perfect Queen. Among those who have run Mount Nelson has had several repeat winners and placed horses, which suggests that his progeny are tough and will continue to improve as three-year-olds. The son of Rock Of Gibraltar received good support in his second and third seasons, not least from Newsells itself, and is another whose chances of making it as a proven stallion have improved with his first two-year-olds.

Some promise in the cheaper ranks Among the cheaper stallions Thousand Words has made a great start as Rathasker Stud’s son of Dansili came up with two very useful stakes performers in One More Word and Top Notch Honcho. He has a similar record to Sixties Icon at this stage, however is likely to be a different type of stallion as he was a Group winner at two and comes from a fast US family. Like Sixties Icon he will struggle to maintain his

momentum with only 60 mares covered in his second and third years combined. Hateef and Sakhee’s Secret both have a high proportion of runners to foals and a very respectable proportion of winners to runners. However, both stallions need to come up with some class performers next year. For Sakhee’s Secret, in particular, this must be likely as he himself, as well as his best siblings Palace Moon and Palace Affair, progressed from being useful horses at two to top horses at three.

daughter Alterite was only narrowly beaten in the Prix Marcel Boussac (G1), despite not having had the run of the race. Literato has struggled for support, but is clearly capable of producing a top-class horse. The same can be said of the Haras de Bernesq’s Hannouma, a son of Anabaa who was a high-class two-year-old and whose first crop included the Irish Group winner Grafelli, who has since been bought to go to Hong Kong. The Haras d’Etreham’s Falco, a Classicwinning son of Pivotal, has also made a promising start, thanks mainly to the support of the Wertheimer brothers, who either bred and purchased as yearlings all of his useful horses, headed by the Group winner Snow

Henrythenavigator: his progeny have impressed on the racecourse, if not necessarily in the sale ring

Day and stakes winner Melodique. Falco was not a precocious horse himself and his progeny are likely to be better at three.

Sageburg: a future leader? The revelation among the French sires is the Haras de la Gatine’s Sageburg, who is shaping like a future leading sire. Sageburg’s small first crop included the Group winner Peace Burg, another who looked unlucky in the Boussac, as well as two other useful performers in Sage Melody and Si Sage. Sageburg himself did not even run at two and so there must be every chance that his progeny will improve, while unusually for a French sire his second and third crops will be larger than his first. Sageburg had a lot to recommend him as he was a top-class performer and beat Darjina to win the 1m1f Prix d’Ispahan, and finished a close-up fourth in an excellent Prix du Moulin when Goldikova beat him, Darjina, Paco Boy and Henrythenavigator in a tight five-way finish. Sageburg is by Johannesburg, which will not have helped him attract mares, but is out of the Linamix mare Sage Et Jolie, who was a Group 2 winner over 1m4f and a sister to the Arc winner Sagamix.

Henry’s coming home Next year this group of sires will be joined by Henrythenavigator, who returns to Coolmore after starting his career in the US. Henrythenavigator had everything going for him as a stallion in terms of pedigree, sire and performance, but his progeny were not particularly popular from the moment they appeared at the sales; his yearling medians have been only 40,000gns in 2011 and 27,000gns in 2012. On the racecourse his progeny have, however, only impressed. He has a high proportion of winners-to-runners and for Coolmore he has produced four high-class sons and two Group 1 winners - George Vancouver, Pedro The Great, as well as Cristoforo Colombo and Afonsa De Sousa. He also has a promising filly in France in Tuna Papita, who belongs to Sheikh Joaan Al Thani. If I was pushed to say which of this group of sires I would expect to be standing at a fivefigure fee or more in 2018, I would go for New Approach, Mount Nelson, Sageburg and Henrythenavigator. But this is only a guess and I am as likely to get it wrong as anyone else!

yearling sale review

up On the

he European yearling market still has a long way to go if it is to regain its pre-financial crisis levels in real terms, however, after two years of solid growth things are looking up for commercial breeders and stallion owners, and, in particular, for those who sell yearlings in England. The main yearling sales returned a combined average of 60,000gns, well above what now looks to have been the bottom of the market in 2010, but still some 20 per cent off the 2007 figure in real terms. The year 2012 could well prove to be a more significant turning point for the European bloodstock market than the bare figures suggest. For the first time in more than 20 years there is a new force in the market which is already changing the value of high-quality racing and breeding stock.

Jocelyn de Moubray reviews the 2012 yearling sales season

In 2007, the Al Thani family of Qatar was hardly known in the bloodstock world, in a short time it has become the most significant newcomer to the racing and breeding world since the Maktoum family and Prince Khalid Abdulla registered their colours in the 1970s. In 2012 the Al Thani family sponsored the

major racing festivals in both England and France, it has purchased several of the best European two-year-olds such as Olympic Glory, Flotilla, Topaze Blanche and Purr Along, and its different members bought around 100 yearlings between them for more ÂŁ15 million, or nearly 10 per cent of the aggregate at Europeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s major sales.

yearling sales review

“

If the very top of the market was dominated by Galileo, Coolmore and the Al Thani family, the rest of the market underlined the importance of two-year-old racing in England and Ireland

“

Investments in horses at this pace will soon develop into something much bigger with stallions, stud farms, trainers and all other parts of the business inevitably growing with the numbers of high-quality stock going into training. The bloodstock market is nearly always driven by demand rather than supply, and this new demand will change everything, particularly, as for the immediate future, it is not going to be tied to any particular stallions, or, by the looks of things, countries as the Al Thani family have spent freely at auctions in Britain, Ireland, France and the US. If there is a further affect in the current market it is that European bloodstock is seen by international buyers as, on the whole, as being more attractive than American bloodstock. Buyers of youngstock from Qatar, Japan, Hong Kong and Australia appear to have a preference for European bloodstock rather than American and fewer Europeans go to the US to buy yearlings than at any time in recent decades. This year there were even two significant

American buyers at October 1, but this could, of course, turn out to have been a one-off as when Frank Stronach bought a group of yearlings a few years ago. As far as supply goes Galileo is at a brief moment when his progeny dominate the top of the market, due mainly to the early death of Montjeu and low fertility of Danehill Dancer. There is no shortage of Galileos, there were more than 70 yearlings offered in 2012 and he has been covering more than 200 mares a year, but what will change in the

near future is competition from his sons and others for the best mares. Over the next few years the progeny of sires such as Oasis Dream and Dubawi produced at high fees will reach the racecourse, as well as those by Sea The Stars and then Galileo’s best sons Frankel, Rip Van Winkle and Nathaniel, not leaving out those by the Al Thani’s first stallion Makfi. The Galileo effect is also a result of the presence of the Al Thani family. The yearling market has been divided into two camps

Sheikh Fahad Al Thani with bloodstock agent David Redvers: spending by members of the Qatari Royal family shook up the bloodstock market this autumn

www.internationalthoroughbred.net

for some seven years and few participants remember the time when Coolmore and Sheikh Mohammed competed to buy the best yearlings by Sadler’s Wells. If the aggregate at Tattersalls October 1 and October 2 combined rose by nearly 30 per cent it was, above all, because of the activity of new buyers, coupled with the fact that for the first time in seven years there was competitive demand for the best lots. Tattersalls has, of course, also maintained the support of the Maktoum family and Coolmore and, with the relative decline of the market in Ireland, Newmarket is more than ever the place where values and stud fees are determined. The October Book 1 and 2 sales accounted for around 60 per cent of the European market and of the 126 yearlings sold for 200,000gns or more, 85 were at one of these two sales. If the very top of the market was dominated by Galileo, Coolmore and the Al Thani family, the rest of the market underlined the importance of two-yearold racing in England and Ireland and the emphasis buyers place on speed. Looking at the median prices achieved by the progeny of some of the leading proven stallions it is very obvious that commercial breeders get a better return from fast stallions than those those likely to produce middledistance horses, and that spending more than £20,000 on a stallion nomination is a huge risk for a commercial breeder.

or those with mares better than the average it can make sense, but the best returns come from young, relatively cheap stallions who produce fast, precocious horses. All seven stallions whose median price was more than four times their 2010 fee are, today, known for producing fast, precocious horses. This selection of stallions would have been far from obvious in 2009 when these decisions were taken. Looking at the results of foal sales in 2009 Dutch Art, Clodovil, Dark Angel and Kyllachy were far from popular and each averaged less than 20,000gns. There is always a divergence between the stallions commercial breeders want to use, and those whose progeny yearling buyers want to buy. There is, of course, a time lag between the decision to mate and the moment of sale during which everything changes, but there is always

a tendency for breeders to use potential middle-distance horses, while yearling buyers want to buy fast, precocious horses. There is plenty of illogicality on both sides. After all, the yearlings who are often the most popular are either those by new sires, this year Sea The Stars or Bushranger, who are completely unproven, or those by sires whose first three-year-olds have proved to be a success: Dutch Art and Dark Angel in 2012. Dutch Art and Dark Angel have both made great starts to their careers, but the chances are that their third crops, the yearlings of 2012, will be their weakest as breeders don’t like to take the risk of supporting stallions in their third year. Using stallions in their third year is the greatest risk for commercial breeders, but those who make the right pick also get the best returns. The stallions to use in 2013, following this logic, are those whose first foals will be sold

www.internationalthoroughbred.net

in 2012, but it is almost certain that the right ones to pick for the yearling market in 2015 are not those who are popular at the foal sales in 2012. Arqana’s August sale has been treading water over the last three years following a period when it had looked to be taking off. The Deauville market has always depended upon foreign demand and to a degree upon foreign supply and the relative strength of the euro has not helped the sale, nor has the fact that it has coincided with Ramadan in recent years. Arqana needs to make a delicate balancing a every year between the domestic and foreign aspects of its market. Cutting the supply at any sale only works if demand remains unchanged. In 2012, only 289 yearlings were sold in August, whereas until recently there were regularly more than 350 and it could be that restricting the supply in August is having a

negative effect on demand and pushing much of the domestic demand into October. From 2013, Ramadan begins in July and June rather than in August and then, if the Al Thanis are as established in France as they are in England, this should help the sale in the future. Doncaster has also struggled to some degree, but then the recovery and new demand is for the time being at the upper end of the market rather than the middle. The collapse of demand from Italy has not helped Doncaster either. After the success of the 2012 Goffs Orby Sale in which 200 fewer yearlings were sold for an aggregate which was up by 20 per cent, it must be likely that Doncaster will put back numbers at its Premier Sale. The Goffs sale was a success in every way as the small catalogue attracted more buyers and for the first time since the crash there was real competition for the best lots.

Official chart We take a look at the top yearling sales sires by Weatherbys median, examining their stats and figures and trends, writes Sally Duckett

1. Galileo We all know that Galileo’s last few glory years on the racecourse as a sire, sire of sires and broodmare sire have happily translated to success in the sales ring. His stock have become an easy sell for agents to recommend to owners as both future racehorses and broodmares – if an owner is serious about developing the quality of his string or his broodmare band, then the must-have accessory is a colt or filly by Galileo. And no longer are the high-prices of his stock reliant on the Coolmore team stepping in – in fact they stepped back this autumn, in particular on the colt out of Funsie. Her colt, already named Hydrogen, became the most expensive yearling sold in the world this year and the third-most expensive European-sold yearling ever when fetching 2.5 million guineas at Tattersalls. Galileo had four horses sell for more than a million this year (currency ignored) with Hydrogen purchased by Sheikh Fahad, Mandore (possibly bought on behalf of Sheikh Joaan, the new French-based Qatari investor, though this was denied in the sale ring) purchased the filly out of Alluring Park for 1.5 million guineas, while Demi O’Byrne went to 1.3 million guineas for Shadow Song’s filly. At Arqana, the sale topper was Prudenzia’s filly bought by Agence FIPS for €1,100,000. The Coolmore sire had 12 yearlings make 500,000gns or more, O’Byrne buying only three of those. In 2011, the sire had two horses fetch seven-figure sums – the filly out of Brigid

3. Oasis Dream Oasis Dream’s recession-busting upward trajectory that began in 2008 continued with ease into 2012. It was the first season that the average for the Juddmonte stallion broke the 200,000gns mark, having for three years previously consistently sat clear of the 100,000gns barrier, one of the few stallions to achieve such a feat. His stock appeal to all – they run on all grounds, have pace but can get a mile to 1m2f, are precocious and are successful in all parts of the world from the US to Europe to Hong Kong. Further, he creates no political divisions – two of his best runners this season are the DBS Premier Sale 2011 sale topper Gale Force Ten and Power, both bought by and in Coolmore ownership, while at this year’s Tattersalls John Ferguson spent 310,000gns on Watership Down’s filly out of Slink. Oasis Dream’s top price this autumn was 675,000gns, given by O’Byrne for the Meon Valley-sold colt out of Galaxy Highflyer, while Waratah Thoroughbreds spent 525,000gns on Arosa from Barronstown Stud. Eleven of the sire’s yearlings made 200,000gns and this season, for the first time, his fillies averaged more than his colts. In 2011, his top-priced lot fetched a little more – O’Byrne going to 700,000gns for the colt now named Illustrate and sold by Furnace Mill. Only six made over 200,000gns. This year’s yearling sale crop was considerably smaller than in 2011 when 45 lots were catalogued. This year it fell to 28 possibly a response to a large number of owner-breeders availing of his services in 2010, greater home support from the Juddmonte broodmare band, while 2010 was the first year that his fee went from the £25-30,000 region to £60,000. His average and median this autumn responded well to that higher fee – of his yearlings offered, five did not sell, while four failed to match that covering fee. Year Colts Fillies 2012 244,064 256,685 2011 160,519 106,035 2010 146,665 102,547 2009 116,984 83,742

made 1.7 million guineas and the Waratah Thoroughbred-purchased daughter of Sanjida, named Flight Of Fancy, cost €1.7 million. Six of his made in excess of 500,0000gns. His progression has been continual since 2010 when his top-price of that year was the Oaks winner Was, bought by O’Byrne for 1.2 million guineas. In total, five horses then achieved prices over 500,000gns Was, Kissed, Pink Damsel, Michaelangelo, Caskelena and Cagacus. If we go back as far as 2009, Galileo’s top

price was a mere 650,000gns, which Sir Robert Ogden paid for Olympiad. The four who made over 500,00gns were Amen, Sam Lord’ Castle, Pursuittoexcellence, Durante Aligheri. The Group 1 winner sold out of that crop Together fetched 280,000gns. Year Colts

2. Sea The Stars The champion racehorse of 2009 ended up with mixed reviews of his yearlings, which met with differing results in the sales ring. However, he still enough nice ones to get a yearling average of 244,139gns (and the momentum for his stock grew as the sale season progressed) and a median of 190,000gns, with a top price of €1,200,000 given by Mandore for the Alpine Rose colt sold by Monceaux. He also had three sell for over 500,000gns bought by David Redvers Bloodstock, Shadwell and McCalmont Bloodstock, all of which were sold at Tattersalls. Nine of the 42 offered failed to sell and of the 51 catalogued, nine were withdrawn from sale. As so frequently at the foal sales demand for the “sexy” first-season sire went a little mad and the stallion’s average of 324,086gns

was not matched by that of his yearlings – although Sea The Stars achieved the second-best sire average of the year it was some 80,000gns below that of his foals. Four offered as foals were reconsigned as yearlings: the colt out of Ice Mint, bought by David Redvers for 225,000gns and sold as a yearling in the US for $675,000 to K.K. Eishindo; Miss Hawaii’s filly who originally sold for 150,000gns to Meridian International fetched €170,000 at Arqana, while the filly out of Humilis was sold as a foal for €110,000 and as yearling for €140,000. Sadima’s colt who failed to sell for 590,000gns in 2011 found a new home, selling to Redvers for 430,000gns. Year Colts Fillies 2012 278,348 174, 753

4. Dansili Dansili has been a consistent source of sales horses since 2007, achieving an average of over 100,000gns for all of those seasons. This year was his best yet: his stock averaged 174,578gns with a median of 132,000gns. His racecourse year has helped purchasers keep the faith – he is only behind Galileo as a supplier of European stakes horses and had three Group 1 winners in 2012. Top priced yearling was the Hugo Lascelles purchase of Neartica’s filly foal from Newsells for 550,000gns, though it was a bit of gap back to his second-best price of 320,000gns spent by McCalmont Bloodstock on the colt from Quelle Vitesse. Sunderland Holdings went to 310,000gns for Kiyra Wells’s filly. In total, Dansili got eight six-figure sales (12 in 2011), with five of those out of mares by Sadler’s Wells or his grandson Singspiel. Of those offered, three did not sell, and two

failed to match the 2010 covering fee. Newsells Park has had a great sales relationship with him getting two six-figure lots this year, and in 2011 selling Heirloom, who has run once, to O’Byrne for 480,000gns. Four Dansili foals were sold in 2011, and three returned to the sale ring this autumn: In The Light’s filly failed to sell at 115,000gns having been purchased for 160,000gns, Quelle Vitesse’s filly provided a handsome 180,000gns profit for Camas Park Stud, while Sheppard’s Watch’s 50,000gns colt foal sold as a yearling for 62,000gns.

6. Pivotal This year saw the Cheveley Park Stud stallion register his best average since 2009, an improvement of 38 per cent on 2011 and one that was back above 120,000gns for the first time in three years. The figure, though, is still some way adrift of his glory years of 2009 and, in particular, 2006 when his average breasted 200,000gns. His fillies this year and for three of the last four have been stronger sellers than his colts. This was the Cheveley Park Stud sire’s smallest sales crop for some years with Ferguson buying his top lot, a colt out of Kitty Matcham for 485,000gns. In total, Pivotal had eight lots sell for over 200,000gns, with big purchasers including Shadwell, the Hong Kong Jockey Club, David Redvers, Patrick Barbe, John

Warren and Rob Spiers. The son of Polar Falcon is a remarkably consistent sire on the racecourse – in three of the last four seasons he has got 11 horses RPR rated 110 or more; in the 2010 that number increased to 12. In 2012 he has had six European stakes winners, in 2011 that was slightly higher at eight, while in 2010 and 2009 that figure came in at 15 and 12. Year

7. Monsun Sadly another deceased leading European sire, the German champion having been euthanized in September. Whether that influenced his sales results or was just a coincidence, but his auction results this year were way in excess of his recent past. He has never been a prolific sales sire, with only 17 catalogued this season and less than ten offered over the past few seasons. This year his five offered all sold gaining an average of 145,000gns, considerably in excess of the last two years in which his average was less than 100,000gns. His top lot, a colt from Highclere and out

of Pongee, fetched 400,000gns and was bought by John Ferguson, while Nicholas Clement went to 320,000gns for a filly from Shemissa. Other investors included Rabbah and Mandore Unfortunately, few of his yearlings offered at Baden-Baden and Arqana sold successfully.

5. Montjeu One of four stallions to break the 200,000gns average mark and sadly we shall just give him a quick resumé due to his death this spring. Of his 29 yearlings offered, 27 found new homes, with 17, around threequarters, fetching six figures. His last advertised fee was €75,000 so we can roughly assume that if this figure has been exceeded this year breeders would have seen some profit. Understandably, Coolmore were keen to collect and picked up six, including five of the top six, with Waratah Thoroughbreds buying the top lot – the colt out of Wanna for 725,000gns. Mandore was also a heavy investor, while Dwayne Woods bought two colts for 205,000gns and 180,000gns. The prejudice against his fillies was starkly in evidence, and as bad as it has been since 2009.

us review Wise Dan has won five of his six starts this year. What other accolades can he gather before the year is out?

Wise Dan:

a shoe-in for Horse of the Year After his Breeders’ Cup Mile victory and wins on dirt and the polytrack, John Sparkman can’t see Wise Dan toppled for top US honours

he Breeders’ Cup was conceived by the late John R. Gaines as the defining event of the racing year, and it achieved that goal this year in an unusual way. The horse already widely viewed as the best racehorse in America put up the performance of the year, almost certainly clinching Horse of the Year honours in the process. What made this so unusual was that the performance came in the Breeders’ Cup Mile (G1), not the Breeders’ Cup Classic (G1), Ladies Classic (G1), or Turf (G1), the usual suspects for identifying the best horse in America. Wise Dan’s scintillating victory in the Mile was his fifth win in six starts this year, and he came within a nostril of going undefeated for the year, losing the Stephen Foster Handicap (G1) by an unlucky head to Ron The Greek. Wise Dan is also easily the most versatile horse in the land, if not the world. The Stephen Foster is on dirt, the surface on which Wise Dan scored his first Grade 1 victory in last year’s Clark Handicap (G1). He began his five-year-old campaign with

a 10l romp in the Ben Ali Stakes (G3) over Keeneland’s Polytrack surface, and his four other wins this year were all on turf. The question for Eclipse Award voters is what other championships will Wise Dan win besides Horse of the Year? The gelded son of Wiseman’s Ferry (Hennessy) was just as clearly the best male aged four and up, but will voters reward Fort Larned for his Breeders’ Cup Classic win with champion older male honours just because he was a more traditional dirt specialist? Wise Dan will probably win the turf male statuette, but there is actually more question whether he should win in that category than whether he is the best overall older male. Little Mike’s Breeders’ Cup Turf victory was his third Grade 1 of the year, and, in a normal year, that would be enough, but there is considerable doubt whether he was even the best horse in the Turf, much less the best American turf horse of the year. That encomium arguably belongs to Point Of Entry, who got stuck at the back of the Turf field and would have won in two more strides. On all available form, in fact, Point Of Entry, by Dynaformer, is the best 1m4f turf

Fort Larned: a late developer

It is nice to have so many worthy contenders, especially after recent seasons when the ranks of older males of any description were distressingly thin

â&#x20AC;&#x153;

horse we have had in 20 years or more, and on that measure alone it will be something of a travesty if he is not rewarded with a championship. Of course, it is always possible that voters will make Wise Dan Horse of the Year, champion turf male, and champion older male as well. Indeed, it would be hard to argue against that denouement, but it is nice to have so many worthy contenders, especially after recent seasons when the ranks of older males of any description were distressingly thin. Fort Larned had finished well behind Ron The Greek and Wise Dan in the Stephen Foster, but that was his only disappointing

performance in an otherwise exemplary season. By E Dubai (Mr. Prospector) out of a daughter of the great racemare Bayakoa, Fort Larned won only two of ten starts at two and three, racing mostly on grass. He showed sharp improvement late last season when he romped in a Churchill Downs dirt allowance, and has gone from strength to strength this year. The Classic was his sixth win in eight starts, including an emphatic victory over Ron The Greek and Flat Out in the Whitney Stakes (G1) at Saratoga. In a normal year, that record would surely be good enough to earn champion older male. With Wise Dan on the scene, though, this is not a normal year.

us review The other candidate for Horse of the Year is likely to be repeat Ladies’ Classic winner Royal Delta, but she is very unlikely to give America a fourth straight female Horse of the Year. The 17-hand daughter of Empire Maker began the year with an emphatic defeat by Awesome Maria at Gulfstream and ran no sort of race on the Tapeta at Meydan in the Dubai World Cup (G1), but the Ladies’ Classic was her fourth win in five tries since returning to the US. She is clearly the best mare in America, no matter how she runs her race, after surprising everyone by leading throughout at Santa Anita.

The Ladies Classic also should have decided the three-year-old filly championship. Last year’s champion juvenile filly My Miss Aurelia, by Smart Strike, got a late start on her sophomore campaign, but had just beaten the leader of the three-year-old fillies, Questing, by Hard Spun, in the Cotillion. Questing bashed her head on the gate and took no part in the Ladies’ Classic, but My Miss Aurelia showed remarkable gameness by pushing her way out of a tight spot and refusing to admit all the way to the wire that she could never catch Royal Delta. She will repeat as champion and deserves to.

escendants of Storm Cat dominated the Breeders’ Cup meeting with four male line winners (Wise Dan, Shanghai Bobby, Beholder, Trinniberg) and a fifth (Hightail) out of one of his daughters, and Storm Cat’s best son, Giant’s Causeway, may well win his third sire championship in the last four years, depending, of course, on how you count progeny earnings. However, Royal Delta’s Ladies’ Classic win pushed her sire Empire Maker to the top of the northern hemisphere list, excluding earnings in Japan and Hong Kong, just ahead of Giant’s Causeway, and Empire Maker is well clear by earnings in North America only. Giant’s Causeway ranks only fourth on that list, behind Speightstown and Tapit. Despite his prominence on the sire lists, regardless of provenance, Giant’s Causeway has never achieved

The three-year-old colts, what was left of them, took no major part in the Breeders’ Cup Classic, with Nonios, a very good colt who has yet to win a stakes, finishing sixth and Travers Stakes (G1) winner Alpha tenth and last. That will certainly leave the controversial Kentucky Derby (G1) and Preakness Stakes (G1) winner I’ll Have Another as champion three-year-old male, and he will likely get a few votes for Horse of the Year as well. The male and female Breeders’ Cup Sprint winners, Trinniberg and Groupie Doll, are likely winners in those categories – indeed Groupie Doll is a certainty – and Juvenile

anything like the commercial recognition of his sire Storm Cat. Storm Cat’s progeny regularly lit up auction matrix boards with seven lighted digits, but it is very rare for anything by Giant’s Causeway to reach that level at the sales, despite the fact that his first crop son Shamardal has already proven himself a good sire. That is partly because there are simply so many of them on offer every year, partly because he has never had an American Classic winner, or, indeed, many top horses on dirt, and partly because they come in all shapes and sizes. And again, there are so many of them. Coolmore’s policy of breeding as many mares to popular stallions as they possibly can no doubt makes them lots of money, but it does no favours to breeders who must compete with scores of other yearlings by the same sires at the sales. Empire Maker, of course, has moved on to Japan, after his surprising sale by Juddmonte three years ago. Since then, not only has Royal Delta emerged as a true champion, but Bodemeister came close to winning two Classics this year, and the Grade 1-winning fillies In Lingerie and Grace Hall have made it clear what a mistake that was for American breeders. Giant’s Causeway: despite his good results on the leading lists is not as commercial a stallion as his sire, Storm Cat

Trinniberg

winner Shanghai Bobby, by Harlan’s Holiday, is equally certain to put an Ecorche horse in the trophy case of Jack Wolf’s Starlight Stable and his new Coolmore partners. The race for Juvenile filly honors is more fraught. Executiveprivelege was unbeaten going in, but lost to Beholder, whom she had trounced twice previously, so it will be interesting to see just how much weight the Breeders’ Cup victory carries for voters. The French-bred Zagora clinched a female turf Eclipse with her Filly and Mare Turf victory.

Maker heading for the top of the Empire The former Juddmonte stallion, sold to Japan three years ago, is vying for championship honours with Ashford’s Giant’s Causeway Fasig-Tipton’s star-studded sale almost doubled its proceeds compared to 2011, but Keeneland was never going to be able to match the 2011 numbers, which included the hugely successful Ned Evans dispersal as well as the $8.5 million sale of Royal Delta three days after she won her first Ladies’ Classic. Those summaryskewing results aside, returns were pretty much on par with last year, confirming that the American thoroughbred industry has more or less stabilised after the diastrous declines caused by the global financial meltdown of 2008. Still, though, breeders are having trouble making money overall. Veteran breeder Rob Whiteley, whose Liberation Farm and partners bred 17 Grade 1 winners and more than 200 stakes horses, was forced to liquidate his holdings despite that obvious success. American commercial breeders remain trapped between stallion owners who charge for stallion seasons based on what private breeders, who do not have to worry about bankers, will pay and a commercial market that rewards only the very best individuals. We cannot afford to lose many more Rob Whiteleys.

“

It should not be many more seasons before Tapit proceeds directly to the top of the sires’ list

“

Speightstown (Gone West), was a Breeders’ Cup Sprint (G1) winner and champion sprinter, and has become a prolific sire of good horses without getting a real championship contender. His Golden Ticket dead-heated for the 1m2f Travers this year, but his progeny are overwhelmingly milers or sprinters. They seem equally effective on grass, synthetic, and dirt, which is another reason he ranks so highly. It should not be many more seasons before Tapit proceeds directly to the top of the sire list. His first crop to be bred from better mares ran at two this year, and since he has regularly sired Grade 1 winners from ordinary mares it will be a great surprise if he does not do better from now. His beautiful son Tapizar won the Breeders’ Cup Dirt Mile (G1) and promptly retired to stand alongside his sire at Gainesway. American sales averages were generally a bit higher this year as shrinking foal crops helped increase demand and a marginally improving economy gave buyers confidence. And then came Havre De Grace. From the moment last year’s Horse of the Year appeared in the Fasig-Tipton November catalogue it was clear that her sale would be the highlight of the auction year and she did not disappoint. A quintessential example of the thoroughbred with an elegant, feminine head, and a beautiful mover to boot, her pedigree is just as good as her race record. It was just a question of how many deeppocketed buyers would decide they could not live without her. At least four different buyers bid more than $5 million for her, but almost everyone was surprised when Mandy Pope made the final $10 million bid. An heiress to the Variety Stores Inc. retail conglomerate, Pope’s Whisper Hill Farm had become a more prominent buyer over the last few years, but she had never tried to compete with the sports biggest buyers before. The next day Pope struck again at the Keeneland November sale, paying $4.2 million for 2011 Kentucky Oaks (G1) winner Plum Pretty, by Medaglia D’Oro.

the golden gavels 2012

The Golden Gavels The annual bloodstock awards for the great, the good and the not so good through 2012

Quote of the year:

Bloodstock agent of the year:

this award was decided by June and goes to James Wigan for his purchasing and management of broodmare bands for Lady Rothschild and George Strawbridge. Both enjoyed Royal Ascot winners in 2011 and 2012 (a first for Strawbridge this year with Gatewood), while Lady Rothschild went onto Classic glory with Great Heavens’s victory in the Irish Oaks. But, the star for the long-time owner, was, of course, Great Heavens’s big brother, the Eclipse winner and future Newsells Park stallion Nathaniel. Just to cap off his year, Wigan bought Green Noon, the dam of the Melbourne Cup winner Green Moon, for 150,000gns in 2005 on behalf of Goldsmith Bloodstock partnership. The mare sadly died after producing that one foal.

2nd-best quote of the year:

“You can’t keep ‘em all – well you can, but I thought I would see what it is like to sell one!” Paul Makin after selling the Galileo colt Hydrogen for 2.5 million guineas. (Hazard a guess, it must be a pretty good feeling if you sell one like that!)

Best excuse given to us for not advertising...

“We’re not spending as much advertising our stallions this year because they’re rubbish...!”

A two-year-old for 2013:

Oasis Dream ex Beach Bunny, bought by Marco Botti at October Book 1 for 425,000gns 130

www.internationalthoroughbred.net

“When I got the chance of a job with Sir Henry Cecil, I was not going to let that slip away.” Dee Deacon, Sir Henry’s head girl, who started working for the trainer as a groom 14 years ago before she moved up to her management position

Farm of the year:

Tally-Ho Stud. Hardly a premier sale went by through the year without a smile appearing on Roger O’Callaghan’s face as a horse consigned by the farm fetched a top price. At the Craven Sale Tally-Ho sold the top lot by Shamardal to John Ferguson for 500,000gns, while at the DBS BreezeUp David Redvers bought Fire Eyes for 300,000gns. At the yearling sales, the farm topped the Orby Sale with the Galileo colt out of Flames at 800,000gns.

Racing’s hero to zero:

late entry... Frankie Dettori

2012 was the year of:

the commerative “xx years in the bloodstock business” brochure

What we loved the most: high-clearance rates Who we loved the most: Australian trainers buying staying horses-in-training

the golden gavels 2012

First-crop stallion surprise: Sir Percy took this award in 2011, and it has to be awarded to Sixities Icon this year. The son of Galileo (an added extra) is a similar to the previous winner as he was perceived to be a middle-distance horse (shock, horror), who would only get late-developing types. With the undoubted help of trainer Mick Channon, the bloodstock community was proved wrong and this year has reacted: the stallion’s yearling median has gone up from 7,000gns to 51,000gns. Admittedly, that figure is from only two yearlings offered..., a fact which probably tells the story itself.

Quickest off the blocks: Myboycharlie, has already had a winner in Australia

Stallion racing has woken up to:

Holy Roman Emperor

Stallions COMPLETELY out of sales favour: Any middle-distance stallion not called Galileo or Montjeu, and, this autumn in particular, Duke Of Marmalade

Owner missed from this year’s bloodstock sales: Sir Robert Ogden

Some things don’t change, but others do:

Most used phrase in bloodstock:

top lot by Galileo

Most overused WORD in racing:

the Levy

Jim Bolger winning the Dewhurst – the trainer won the race for the fifth time in seven years, this year with Dawn Approach. The homebred is another to add to the Bolger bank balance after sale to Godolphin, however, the colt is not transferring, but remains with the canniest-trainer-in-Europe for 2013. The also-purchased-by-Godolphin, Reckless Abandon, also stays with current connections for next season. Is this a new way forward for the boys in blue?

Most important winner of the year:

this has to go to Olympic Glory’s victory in the Group 1 Prix Jean-Luc Lagardere. The Choisir colt was bought in a private sale from Julie Wood by the new force in French racing, Sheikh Joaan Al Thani, ahead of the big weekend’s racing at Longchamp. The Sheikh’s buying agent Mandore International had already purchased the top lot at the Arqana August sale – the Alpine Rose colt for 1,200,000gns – but they became heavily involved a week after that Group 1 victory in many of the top lots at Tattersalls as buyer (eight purchased for spend of 3,730,000gns, including the Galileo ex Alluring Park for 1,500,000gns) and as underbidder on many of the top lots, including on Hydrogen. Maybe that success at Longchamp helped act as an extra catalyst to spending?

Most amusing online offering:

Jockeys Gangnam Style

Previous most amusing online offering:

Hugo’s Hair (you are funny Lord John Warren, but you can’t replace the original and the best)

Best thing to happen toe Doncaster: the Travelodge, Lakeside

Revitalised sale: Goffs Orby Auctioneer of the year:

kilos down, while still providing essential nutrition. As yearlings leave the breeding farm environment and enter training, major changes occur in their skeletons. Much of this change is due to alterations in housing and exercise, but nutrition may also play a role.

Bone mineral changes A recent study by Kentucky Equine Research reported significant decreases in bone mineral density during the first two months of pre-training in rising two-year olds. This was followed by an increase in bone density that continued through the duration of the study. The yearlings entered training (day 0) in late autumn on a farm where regular turnout paddocks were available. The horses were confined in boxes for approximately six hours per day. The training intensity at this time was low, consisting of 15-20 minutes per day trotting in a field. One month into the study (day 28), the horses were moved to a training stable where little or no turnout was available. For the remainder of the study, the horses were confined in boxes for approximately 23 hours per day. Between days 28-84, the horses (now two-year-olds) were lightly exercised, and from day 84-112 training intensity increased. From this time period onwards, horses were kept at an intense level of training. These horses were consuming a commercial fortified feed and

grass/grass hay throughout the study. Bone mineral content (BMC) dropped from day 28 until day 84 when the horses were confined to stalls with only light exercise. By day 84, BMC was significantly lower than day 0 (Figure 1). But, when training intensity increased in the spring, BMC increased to levels that were not different from pre-training. Osteocalcin is a protein

produced by the osteoblasts in bone and is an accepted marker of bone formation. Plasma osteocalcin levels dropped slightly from day 0-84 when the horses were confined and in light training. Levels increased from day 84-112 when the horses began intense exercise, suggesting an increase in bone formation. The results showed how confinement and changes in

ost thoroughbreds destined for the racetrack will endure a short but intense period of yearling prep before entering training as young as 18 months, with many racing in their two-year-old year. Feeding these young horses is a challenge because nutrients must be supplied to cater for both growth and exercise. Little research has been done to quantify the nutrient requirements of horses at this age, particularly during the transition period from untrained yearling to intensely exercised two-year-old. Ideally, the yearling thoroughbred should have been on a sound nutritional programme from birth, giving it the best opportunity to develop a strong skeleton, able to withstand the rigors of training. If purchased at a yearling sale, the animal is likely to have been on a high plane of nutrition for several months, so it is important to taper off the energy intake if the yearling is going to be turned out for some time before pretraining. Yearlings fresh from the sales can be maintained on good quality forage (1-1.5 per cent of body weight) including good pasture, and a feed formulated for breeding and growing horses. If the yearling is a â&#x20AC;&#x153;good-doerâ&#x20AC;? then cutting back the grain concentrate and feeding a low intake concentrated balancer is a good approach to keep the

exercise intensity can affect bone mineralisation and point clearly to the importance of turn-out for racehorses in training.

Feeding programmes for two-year-olds Once the yearling has entered the training environment, a real concern for trainers is how differently to feed rising twoyear-olds compared with older horses in the stable. A typical feeding programme for an adult horse in training consists of good quality forage (grass and/or lucerne hay, haylage, chaff, pasture turn out if available), grain/commercial concentrate and supplements, if necessary. Forage must be fed at a minimum of one per cent body weight per day – that is a minimum of about 4-5kg hay per day or 7-9kg haylage. The energy and majority of the nutrients are provided by grain and/or a commercial grain concentrate. Commercial

134

concentrate feeds are usually fully fortified to contain all the energy, protein, minerals and vitamins the horse needs provided it is fed at the recommended amount (usually about 4-8kg per day) and is fed alongside good quality forage. Some commercial racing feeds, often called racing balancers, are formulated so that you can add your own grain, such as oats, to top up the energy intake. Rising two-year-olds will require more protein, calcium, phosphorus and trace minerals than mature horses because they are growing as well as working. If we look at an example – An adult thoroughbred in training and his rising two-year-old stable mate in moderate work. Both horses are fed 6kg of high quality grass haylage and a 13.0 per cent protein commercial grain mix that supplies 13 MJ DE/kg. The adult racehorse would require 6kg of grain per day to meet its energy requirement, while the two-year-

Lysine

Fig 3: Nutrients supplied from a ration of haylage (green) and a commercial grain mix (brown) for a rising two year-old in moderate work

old requires 5kg/day. Although the haylage and grain are not excessively high in protein or minerals, the adult racehorse’s ration supplies more protein, lysine, calcium, and phosphorus than needed because of the high level of intake required to meet the racehorse’s energy requirement. A ration using the same haylage and grain mix also meets the nutrient requirements of the twoyear-old in moderate work. Again, a fairly high level of intake provides adequate nutrients from feedstuffs containing fairly low concentrations of protein and minerals. The bottom line from this comparison is that most rations fed to adult racehorses contain adequate protein, calcium, and phosphorus for rising juveniles. If energy intake must be restricted in a rising two-year-old (e.g. if they’re a “good-doer” ) higher levels of fortification may be needed. In these cases topping

up the diet with a balancer would be appropriate.

Conclusion The nutrient requirements of the rising two-year-old fall between the growing yearling and the adult performance horse. If the rising two-year-old is in training, feeds that are typically formulated for adult performance horses are appropriate because the elevated level of feed intake required to meet the energy required for exercise will provide the extra protein and minerals needed for growth. In addition to correct nutrition, it is important to note that from the recent research into confinement during training, some level of turnout time is important to maintain bone mineral density in young horses entering the training environment.

Fame At Last (Quest For Fame -Ranales (Majestic Light)) Famous Name, the seven-year-old horse out of Fame At Last, took his career wins to 21 when winning the Listed Trigo Stakes at Leopardstown on the same day as his sister Big Break won her first stakes race, the Group 3 Killavullen Stakes

Quest For Fame her name is apt, but unfortunately for Prince Khalid Abdullah’s homebred, the filly did not live up to her name on the racecourse. Twelve years after her final start, Fame At Last’s name has rung true as she became the dam of a high-profile stakes duo in one day when Famous Name and Big Break scored at Leopardstown last month. The pair, both homebreds by Juddmonte and sired by Dansili, are with Dermot Weld and are at opposite ends of their careers. For Famous Name, whose victory in the Listed Trigo Stakes was his 21st and the 20th stakes success of his lengthy career, it was a last hurrah before taking up stud duties at the Irish National Stud next year.

Twelve years after her final start, Fame At Last’s name has finally rung true as she became the dam of a high-profile stakes duo in one day

For the two-year-old Big Break, her victory in the Killavullen Stakes (G3) was only her third racecourse start, and hints at a great future next season when she could contest the Classics. Famous Name was winning the Trigo Stakes for the third time during his six seasons of racing, and it was a fourth

aming racehorses is a pressurised activity. Quite apart from those names of questionable taste, which slip through the net of vigilance at Weatherbys, owners seek to create something memorable, perhaps a clever play on words, and definitely a name that will stand out on a race card. Few would risk tempting fate by naming their yearling something that hints of future riches, but sometimes the name of the sire or dam lends itself to such a moniker, and the pressure is then on to live up to the projected expectations. Such could have been the case with the filly Fame At Last. As a daughter of the Derby winner

mare of the month

Mare of the month stellar standards of the operation. Abdullah’s initial investment in the family came just over 30 years ago when he purchased the Northern Dancer mare Katsura for $400,000. Bred by the legendary E.P Taylor at the Maryland branch of his Windfields operation, Katsura was second in the 1980 Brownstown Stakes (G3) and was also third in the Silken Glider (G3). At stud, she repaid her price tag by producing ten foals, all of whom won. Among them were the black-

type performers Rambushka, who was first past the post in the Pretty Polly Stakes (L), with the Yorkshire Oaks (G1) winner Roseate Tern and the promoted Oaks winner Snow Bride among those in arrears, but was demoted to second. Katsura also produced Arokat, second in the Champagne Stakes (G2), Katsina, who was twice Listed-placed, and River Foyle who was Listedplaced in Germany. Of Katsura’s six daughters, only one, Katsina, went on to become a stakes producer

herself, foaling the Listed winner and smart juvenile Halland Park Girl, herself now the dam of several speedy types. Better was to come in the next generation however. Rambushka may have lost out on her Listed success, but she did produce a winner at stud as well as the Riverman filly Tugela who was unplaced in two starts and looked an expensive purchase when bought by John Foote for 60,000gns in foal to Desert King at the Tattersalls December Mares Sale in 1998. That price tag, though, subsequently became one of the bargains of the century when it turned out that the filly she was carrying that day would go on to achieve legendary status as the triple Melbourne Cup heroine Makybe Diva. Katsura’s Majestic Light filly Ranales, foaled in 1980, was lightly raced in America, winning once, before her retirement to the paddocks. Her 1996 tryst with Abdullah’s 1990 Derby winner Quest For Fame, then standing at the Juddmonte farm in Kentucky, produced a filly who was somewhat fatefully named Fame At Last.

ut in training in Britain with Barry Hills, Fame At Last debuted late at two, but made up for lost time when easily winning a 22-runner maiden at Doncaster in late October. Although the post-race analysis notes that a slow early pace turned the 7f contest into a 2f sprint, Fame At Last had the turn of foot to triumph by a length and a half, and Charlie Hills, representing his father, stated that she was a filly of whom they had always thought a

lot. As a side note, it interesting that the runner-up that day was also struggling under a weighty moniker – All The Gears. Although only beaten a length and a half on her three-year-old debut in the Cheshire Oaks (L), unfortunately Fame At Last had three of the four other runners ahead of her. She never finished so close again, being well beaten in three starts in which she was seventh each time. While she may not have shown a huge amount on the racecourse, Fame At Last was clearly regarded well-enough to earn a place in the Juddmonte broodmare band. She has rewarded that faith by producing seven winners from as many foals of racing age, with three stakes winners among them, including the high-class prolific success story that is Famous Name. The seven-yearold, who has most assuredly lived up to his big name, is a horse who thrives on repeated victories in his favourite contests at The Curragh and Leopardstown, having recorded hat-tricks in the International Stakes (G3), the Amethyst (G3), the Meld (G3, and the Heritage (L) as well as the Trigo. Of his 21 victories, 13 were registered at Leopardstown, seven at The Curragh, and one at Naas. While his little sister Big Break has not yet had time to register such strong likes and dislikes, she has struck twice at Leopardstown already. Fame At Last has produced three winners, including the stakes-winning Zaminast, by Zamindar, and a pair by Dansili as well as colts by Zafonic and Lomitas. She has a yearling colt by Dansili’s full brother Champs Elysees and is back in foal to Dansili this year.
