Just so many highlights...

Paul Haigh reviews Royal Ascot 2018: a meeting that really had it all

T

owering over all other equine achievement this June is Justify’s completion of the American Triple Crown, less than five months since he first jumped out of a gate to race.

No horse has ever done this before, and the feat was made even more remarkable by the fact that both the first two legs were run and won on slop that the champion probably detested.

There have been relevant questions asked about the role of a runner who played the “rabbit” in the Belmont, and they do need answering, but there’s no doubt Justify would have won anyway. Even with the surprising proximity of Gronkowski on his first American outing since leaving Britain, there’s still no way of knowing how good Justify may be.

www.internationalthoroughbred.net

There was no fluke about Masar’s victory: a great triumph for racing’s long-time sustainer Sheikh Mohammed

The Derby at Epsom was probably a fine race too, and we will no doubt learn to respect its winner more than we did when we let him go off at doublefigure odds. There was no fluke about Masar’s victory: a great triumph for racing’s long-time sustainer Sheikh Mohammed and his extremely talented trainer Charlie Appleby, who has risen from within the ranks.

Many, however, are still suffering withdrawal symptoms after yet another superb Royal Ascot meeting concluded. Not all of us love the flummery that’s no doubt essential to its style, but as an advertisement for the sport it’s been incomparable for several years now.

With the possible exception of a slight disappointment that it didn’t throw up or confirm a supreme champion this year – with apologies to Alpha Centauri who may be all of that, but we haven’t realised it yet.

first word A range of emotions are displayed by racegoers as the field crossses the line in the Prince Of Wales’s Stakes, right, Sir Michael Stoute was gracious in his recognition of the late Sir Henry as he passed his good friend’s Royal Ascot total of 75 winners to become the winning-most Royal Ascot trainer ever, and, below, Accidental Agent got the meeting off to a fabulous start in the Queen Anne Stakes

From the moment the gates opened on the Queen Anne and Eve Johnson-Houghton joined the training elite with Accidental Agent to the moment that cussed old recidivist Pallisator went past the post in the Queen Alexandra, the meeting was pretty close to perfection, and it seems intolerable somehow that we’re going to have to wait another 12 months before we can enjoy it again.

What were the highlights? Too feeble to say “every race”, but too many to do them all justice. Maybe Sir Michael Stoute’s passing Sir Henry Cecil’s record number of Royal Ascot winners and then his gracious recognition of the great man he’d surpassed?

Maybe Wesley Ward’s reaching double figures of Ascot winners? He’s been a true standard

www.internationalthoroughbred.net

first word bearer for his country and has more or less single handedly guaranteed that the world’s best race meeting will have an American flavour from now on.

Maybe the victory of the ex-Australian Merchant Navy in the Diamond Jubilee was in many ways a peak, not just because it emphasised the brilliance of Aidan O’Brien, who seems to have improved him past Redkirk Warrior who was his superior back home, but because his narrow victory from the best sprinter in France re-emphasised the international nature of the meeting.

Godolphin and Appleby’s triumph with Blue Point deserves a mention in this category too. Did he really finish last behind the Hong Kong sprinters when he went to Sha Tin? How good must those sprinters be?

And how long will we have to wait before a bunch of them come over again for the glory, even if that isn’t matched by our still nowhere near world-class prize-money?

W

e saw the arrival of a new star trainer when Archie Watson sent out Soldier’s Call to win the Windsor Castle. It may not be the best race of the five days, but for Watson it was the first victory of what will almost certainly be many.

Even the handicaps, so often just interludes between the Group races, were thrilling this year. You don’t often see massive field handicaps won the way Agrotera won the Hunt Cup, or rides as confident as Jamie Spencer gave him to scythe through from way back to win as he pleased going away.

Then there was David Elsworth’s 15th but not, most would hope, his final Ascot triumph with Dash Of Spice in the Duke of Edinburgh, though as ever the amusing Elsie was dismissive of his future saying that “I don’t even buy green bananas anymore!”

Not many people who live and play as hard as David has actually make it to 78 years of age, never mind keep pumping out Royal Ascot winners, but he still knows a good horse when he’s got one. He did keep repeating after the race that “this is a good horse, mind!” Along with Red Verdon (second in the Hardwicke), Dash Of Spice could be on the Melbourne Cup trail.

So the best-backed handicap favourite and many people’s unwise banker, Dreamfield just got edged out in the Wokingham. Well, John Gosden did warn that nothing can be nailed on in a field that

www.internationalthoroughbred.net

The Queen’s patronage of, and “undimmed enthusiasm”, of Royal Ascot should never be under-estimated

size. But the bookies have to have something to smirk about don’t they, as they did after Cracksman’s defeat.

Was there a downside? Well, what happened to Harry Angel was a disaster. You could point the finger at the stalls handlers, but that would be terribly unjust when they’ve made one mistake in an ocean of immaculate performance, or at the starter, or even at the stewards for allowing the champion sprinter to be declared a runner when he had a hind leg hoisted in his stall when the gates opened.

But the handlers were doing their excellent best as always, the starter was trying to catch that single moment when a big field of naturally hyped up sprinters seemed still in the stalls. Harry Angel’s rider, Adam Kirby, couldn’t even see what was happening. So he can’t be blamed either Many things don’t need to be said about this great meeting, but one thing maybe does.

You don’t have to be a devout monarchist to recognise how important The Queen is to Royal Ascot. Now into her 90s she presides over the whole party and invests it with a dignity that’s unmatched anywhere else in the sporting world.

Yes, there’s snobbery inevitably implicit, but it’s other people’s not hers. Her undimmed enthusiasm is all part of the show and integral to the “class” (read into that word whatever you like) that makes the Royal meeting pre-eminent.

Nobody ever likes to mention this, but even if she is able to go on enjoying racing even longer than her mother did, she is not immortal; and if there is a hint of worry about the future in racing’s supreme meeting, it lies in the question of what happens when she does one day find she has to sit at home and watch the sport on TV. There is still no obvious successor in her family to the position she occupies in racing.

No need to dwell on that. But to go back to the beginning and Justify... One thing very clearly apparent in the celebration of a 13th US Triple Crown winner was the way in which the significance of his part-ownership was underplayed by the American media.

China Horse Club only owns a quarter of him. Most of the rest belongs to WinStar and George Soros’ Head of Plains.

But he raced in CHC colours, and did anyone listen carefully to what CHC chairman Teo Ah Khing had to say about the “hundred million or so” who would have been watching Justify’s Belmont in China?

the news

New Royal Ascot and HKJC World Pool formed for 2019 Ascot Racecourse, the Hong Kong Jockey Club and Totepool have announced an exciting development in the world of global betting – the creation of a new Ascot World Pool for 2019.

In tandem, there will also be a new media rights deal which will see Royal Ascot coverage in Hong Kong expanded from this year’s record four days to all five days.

The Ascot World Pool will see bets placed at Royal Ascot 2019 co-mingled by the three parties and is expected to see UK liquidity increase from the current approximate £20 million to the region of £75 million.

Phil Siers, managing director

at Totepool, with whom Ascot racecourse will begin its partnership as AscotBet on July 13 this year, said: “Liquidity breeds liquidity and we believe the size of the pool created will draw more bets into this market from other countries.

“This is possible through the Totepool International Gateway, which will offer the opportunity for further entrants resulting in the strengthening of the World

Pool to become a huge global liquidity pool with customer friendly pay-outs. The aim is to provide better odds than SP. “Presently, any large investments into an averagesized pool could affect the dividend dramatically.

“Larger liquidity means less fluctuation of the dividends and will thus offer a very competitive advantage to large staking customers. In fact, a world pool is

Since the very wet night just before the Lockinge meeting, we have had under five millimetres of rain in six weeks.

Sir Michael Stoute was in robust form after his recordbreaking week, which saw him bettering the late Sir Henry Cecil’s Ascot record.

Matt Chapman has a place in the team, but is better interviewing trainers than jockeys, who have not had the benefit of a Radley education.

He must have modelled his style on Jeremy Paxman and Piers Morgan rather than the more modest approach of Terry Wogan or Michael Parkinson.

It is slightly disappointing, though, that very little information regarding the horse’s breeding is covered by any of the racing channels.

The Australian Racing Channel has details both prerace and post-race – the first four all have the jockey, odds, trainer, and breeding details listed on the screen.

Another success was Tattersalls, the company responsible for selling ten Royal Ascot winners, admittedly some were vendor buy backs but not at ridiculous prices.

arrangement with HKJC on racing in Hong Kong through its Tote Direct business has been a huge success, bringing over £1 billion of liquidity into the Hong Kong pool in just 18 months.

“We are excited about the opportunities provided by World Pool.”

Added to this could be Merchant Navy, bought by Ciaran Maher at Inglis Easter Sales – Tattersalls holds a significant share holding in Inglis.

Hopefully, we may see Merchant Navy in action again in the July Cup before he returns to Jerry’s Plain to take up stallion duties for Coolmore.

He is due to stand there for A$55,000. He was probably fully booked before Ascot, but must have now also secured his shuttle ticket back to Ireland.

“This agreement solidifies Hong Kong’s position as the global hub of co-mingling.

“We believe this is the beginning of a new era in international racing. We are already in active discussions with other racing bodies about future World Pool initiatives.”

Richard Cheung, the Club’s executive director, Customer and International Business Development, added: “Over time we will invite other racing jurisdictions who are commingling with us on HK races and are also interested in joining the World Pool for Royal Ascot races.”

Alastair Warwick, chief operating officer at Ascot and managing director of AscotBet, added: “We believe that, in a competitive and open British market, which faces more competition from exchanges and fixed odds than countries in pool-only environments, the key to success is being customerfriendly on site and providing value for all customers betting into the pool.

“Take out at Royal Ascot is projected to drop both on-course and in the shops from the current 19.25 per cent to 17.5 per cent to match the Hong Kong pool for the Ascot World Pool co-mingled market, to the obvious benefit of everyone.

“With pool betting only holding three per cent of national betting turnover as things stand, this provides a real opportunity for pool betting to be a much stronger, value-driven alternative to other betting options.”

Juliet Slot, chief commercial officer at Ascot, looked forward to the additional opportunities: “Bringing all five days of Royal Ascot to the whole of Hong Kong as part of the new World Pool allows us to continue to build our global audience.

“Added to this, other markets wanting to join the pool will have the opportunity to work with us on delivering a world class picture feed to support them.”

the news

No Nay Never heads first-season sire table AFTER ROYAL ASCOT the first-season sires table had begun to take some shape with No Nay Never leading the way by European earnings (Weatherbys stats).

Coolmore’s son of Scat Daddy had produced eight winners of nine races, one of his successful runners being Servalan, winner of the Listed Coolmore Stud EBF Fillies’ Stakes in May. The Jessica Harrington-trained filly went onto to finish sixth, a length and a half behind Signora Cabello in the Queen Mary Stakes (G2) at the Royal meeting.

A

No Nay Never’s son Land Force, trained by Aidan O’Brien, finished third in the Norfolk Stakes (G2) behind Shang Shang Shang, beaten a nose and a half length.

Ahead of No Nay Never by European winners (11) and following him on prize-money earned is Rathasker Stud’s Bungle Inthejungle on 11 – he has had a Listed winner and Group 3 placed in Italy (Sopran Artemide), while his best-placed at Ascot was Rumble Inthejungle’s fourth in the Norfolk.

The only first-season sire to achieve a Group race victory so far is Kingman, courtesy

....Girls aloud

s I am writing these lines, Royal Ascot is still in full swing – and yours truly has just got back from a very exhausting, but equally exhilarating two days at racing’s biggest spectacle.

And while it’s easy for us, the initiated crowd, to get somewhat used to and just a tiny little bit blasé about – not so much the racing – the general atmosphere at Ascot during Royal Ascot week; this time I had the pleasure of bringing a Royal Ascot first-timer with us from France, which meant that I took it all in alongside a fresh pair of eyes.

From the obligatory traffic as you approach the epicenter of the racing world, to the frocks and the hats, the car park picnics serving up the finest wines, the pomp and pageantry.

From Royal procession to the paddock Pimms bar to band stand; we thoroughly enjoyed all these things that are so very essentially British – and best of all we got to see some of the world’s best horses and best people compete on a royal stage.

Eve Johnson Houghton’s formidable win (and reaction thereafter!) in the opening race with Accidental Agent, a horse bred by her mother was a sight to behold and to cherish.

Meanwhile, the father and daughter team of John and Tanya Gunther must still be pinching themselves having bred Triple Crown hero Justify and the Group 1 St James’s Palace Stakes winner Without Parole in the same year. What a result for a relatively small breeding operation.

On Wednesday it might have been hard to watch the highly touted short-priced favourite Cracksman struggling from a fair way out, though his loss was Poet ‘s Word’s win. He is a bonny horse by Poet’s Voice and got a well-deserved first on the boards at the highest level and in the process provided Sir Michael Stoute – one of racing’s all time greats – with a record-breaking 76th Royal Ascot victory swiftly followed by a 77th thanks to a back-to-best Expert Eye. Sir Michael in true gentlemanly manner did not miss the opportunity to salute the previous record holder, the truly beloved and

of his impressive Coventry Stakes (G2) winner Calyx. The Juddmonte two-year-old is the sire’s only winner so far (from five runners), but the Group 2 victory propelled Kingman into third place by European earnings with Calyx looking a hugely promising type. The Prix Morny is likely next on the agenda.

Kuroshio, like Bungle Inthejungle a son of Exceed And Excel, reverse shuttled in 2015 to Overbury Stud to stand at £3,500.

So far 45 per cent of his 11 runners have won, including the Listed second Daphina.

The National Stud sire Gregorian and Charm Spirit, who has stood at Haras de Bonneval and Tweenhills Stud, have both posted four winners.

Bloodstock agents Cathy Grassick and Tina Rau share our new column discussing bloodstock and racing issues.

Rau reviews a wonderful Royal Ascot meeting

much-missed Sir Henry Cecil.

It is hard to believe that it’s been five years already since Henry’s passing – the memories of this charismatic and instinctively gifted race horse trainer are still so vivid.

Cecil’s greatest masterpiece Frankel (at this stage via the exploits of his own progeny) ensures that the trainer who will eternally be intertwined with his destiny will not be forgotten, the sire getting two winners on the first day of the meeting and three over the week.

Interestingly enough it is another one of Sir Henry’s former charges – albeit a lot more low profile one – who has been catching the eye of the observers of black-type results around Europe this season.

In 2005, the most dire of seasons, the year in which Sir Henry sent out a mere 12 winners from Warren Place, Camacho would have been a welcome distraction and amongst his top performers that year.

A winner of a Listed race and Group 3 placed, the Racing Post described him as a “useful three-year-old sprinter, from a good family”.

A far cry from the lofty heights of Royal Ascot heros, Camacho was sent to stud at a measly €4,500 nomination fee.

He’s had some nice results in the past, especially with his two-year-olds, and his fee has slowly crept up to a still-very-affordable mark of €7,500.

This season he has been responsible for the winners of the Danish and Swedish (Queen Estoril) and probably more importantly the Poule d’Essai des Pouliches (Teppal) – and he also had a Royal Ascot winner in Signora Cabello, first past the post in the Queen Mary Stakes (G2).

It might be a sign of the times as incidentally quite a few of the major races so far this year have been won by fillies and colts who can boast impressive female families (see JdeM’s Classic review on page 34), but who are sired by stallions who are probably undervalued in the market place.

From Camacho to Champs Elysees (Billesdon Brook, winner of the 1,000 Guineas) to Poet’s Voice and Delegator, sire of Accidential Agent, it proves that there are good horses out there by a big variety of sires.

These jewels are there to be bought.

Parole, they also bred Triple Crown hero Justify and the Grade 1 Wood Memorial Stakes winner Vino Rosso.

Bred at Newsells Park Stud, Without Parole is out of the Lemon Drop Kid mare Without You Babe, a half-sister to Grade 1 Travers Stakes and Cigar Mile Handicap winner Stay Thirsty by Bernardini.

She is also a half-sister to the Fusaichi Pegasus colts Stay Thirsty, who was second to Afleet Alex in the Belmont Stakes, and Superfly, third behind First Samurai and Henny Hughes in the Grade 1 Champagne Stakes over a mile at Belmont Park.

Without You Babe is a grand-daughter of Kingmambo, who has clicked particularly well with Frankel.

All four runners bred on the Frankel-Kingmambo cross have won and a grand-daughter of Kingmambo has provided him with his fourth Group 1 winner.

Without Parole is the second Group / Grade 1 winner produced by Without You Babe, who is already the dam of 2016 Accidental Agent: the son of Delegator has a big summer ahead after his Queen Anne win

royal ascot Without Parole takes the St James’s Palace Stakes, another success for the Frankel-Kingmambo cross.

“All he does is eat and sleep,” said John Gosden

Frankie Dettori with Juddmonte’s Calyx, the impressive son of first-season sire Kingman

Breeders’ Cup Dirt Mile winner Tamarkuz.

The son of Speightstown stands at Shadwell’s Kentucky farm and his first crop are foals of 2018.

The second dam Marozia provides some neat symmetry as she was trained to win a handicap by Without Parole’s trainer John Gosden for her owner Sheikh Mohammed.

By Storm Cat, she was purchased by John Gunther at the 2003 Keeneland Breeding Stock Sale for $50,000.

Her grandson Without Parole was unsold at 650,000gns during Book 1 of the Tattersalls October Yearling Sale of 2015.

Without You Babe returned to Banstead Manor Stud for the two seasons after visiting Frankel and has a two-year-old filly by Kingman and a yearling Oasis Dream filly.

She was covered by Dubawi in 2017 and gave birth to a colt foal this spring.

Goodwood’s Group 1 Sussex Stakes has been mooted as the potential next target for Without Parole.

Frankel’s second winner of the first afternoon was the Juddmonte homebred Monarchs Glen, who took the Listed Wolferton Stakes over 1m2f, and he brought

up an opening day treble for trainer John Gosden and jockey Frankie Dettori.

Successful in a Group 3 at Newmarket last autumn, the four-year-old was subsequently gelded and settled much better than previously. He is the fifth foal of the Lear Fan mare Mirabilis, herself a Grade 3 winner over a mile.

Mirabilis is a half-sister to Prix de Diane and Prix du Moulin heroine Nebraska Tornado by Storm Cat and to the Diesis colt Burning Son, who won the Hampton Court Stakes for the late Sir Henry Cecil.

Interestingly, Mirabilis was sent outside of the Juddmonte stallion band and has a two-year-old colt by Dark Angel, who holds an entry in the 2019 Investec Derby.

Helleborine was covered this year by champion sprinter Muhaarar, who also covered Roodle, the dam of the Queen Anne Stakes victor Accidental Agent

Calyx living up to the hype

Calyx made quite the impression on his debut in a Newmarket maiden on June 9, providing his sire Kingman with his first winner, and on Tuesday he became Kingman’s first Group winner with victory in the Coventry Stakes (G2) for Gosden and Dettori.

The colt will be aimed at the Prix Morny (G1) and he is the epitome of Juddmonte breeding as three of his four grandparents were bred by Prince Khalid Abdullah’s operation and five of his eight greatgrandparents.

His dam Helleborine won the Group 3 Prix d’Aumale at Longchamp over a mile at two beating Immortal Verse and was second to Misty For Me in the Prix Marcel Boussac (G1).

Helleborine is a daughter of Observatory and a full-sister to Sprint Cup (G1) heroine African Rose, who in turn is the dam of Fair Eva, a daughter of Frankel and winner of the Group 3 Princess Margaret Stakes at two and fifth to Winter in last year’s 1,000 Guineas.

The full-sisters have the distinction of providing the Juddmonte sires Frankel and Kingsman with their first Group winners and their dam, New Orchid, is a half-sister to Juddmonte’s Group 1 Dewhurst Stakes winner Distant Music.

Helleborine was covered this year by champion sprinter Muhaarar, who also covered Roodle, the dam of Tuesday’s surprise Queen Anne Stakes victor Accidental Agent.

royal ascot No accident for Agent

If Juddmonte, Godolphin and Willie Mullins represented Goliath in different forms, then Accidental Agent was a victory for the Davids of racing.

A first Royal Ascot winner for jockey Charles Bishop, trainer Eve JohnsonHoughton and owner-breeder Gaie JohnsonHoughton, Accidental Agent was an 8,000gns vendor buy-back in Book 2.

The four-year-old is from the first crop of his ill-fated sire Delegator, who stood at Overbury Stud for £4,000 and his victory gave the late stallion, a son of Dansili, his first at the highest level.

Accidental Agent is the first foal of his dam Roodle, a winner over 5f at two by Xaar and a half-sister to Prize Exhibit by Showcasing (a featured family in mare of the month in the January-February 2017 edition, Ed).

The five-year-old was a Grade 2 winner over six and a half furlongs and won over a mile at Grade 3 level and was purchased

by Barronstown Stud for 775,000gns at Tattersalls last December.

It is a family with plenty of speed as Accidental Agent’s second dam Roodeye is a half-sister to Gimrack Stakes winner Quick Wit by Oasis Dream, and to Gallagher, a son of Bahamian Bounty, who was placed in both the Prix Morny and Dewhurst Stakes.

Delegator is no longer with us and Dansili was pensioned in April due to declining fertility, but the 20-year-old is ably represented by his sons Zoffany and Bated Breath. Both are available to breeders and their progeny were popular in the sale ring last year, while Flintshire represents Dansili in Kentucky at Hill ‘n’ Dale where he stood his second season this spring at $20,000.

Blue Point 20th G1 winner for Shamardal

The second Group 1 race on Tuesday was also won by a son of a stallion who is no longer available to breeders, but for different reasons – Blue Point became the 20th top-level winner for Shamardal, who is restricted to Maktoum family-owned mares at Kildangan Stud due to fertility problems.

Blue Point was bred at the Irish division of Oak Lodge Stud, which is managed by Reddy and Linda Coffey, and sold for 110,000gns at the 2014 Tattersalls December Foal Sale to Ebor Bloodstock.

John Ferguson purchased the colt on behalf of Godolphin for 200,000gns as a yearling and he went on to win the Gimcrack Stakes and finish in the top three in both the Middle Park and Dewhurst Stakes.

www.internationalthoroughbred.net

At three he was third to Caravaggio in the Group 1 Commonwealth Cup at Royal Ascot and fourth in Haydock’s Sprint Cup (G1).

His King’s Stand success was only his second run over 5f, his first being in the Group 2 Meydan Sprint back in February for his Derby-winning trainer Charlie Appleby.

He is a three-parts brother to Formosino, a son of Footstepsinthesand, who won the Group 2 Railway Stakes at The Curragh in 2010 for Jeremy Noseda before his sale for 320,000gns at that year’s Tattersalls Autumn Horses In Training Sale.

Their dam Scarlett Rose did all her racing over 6f and 7f and is a daughter of Royal Applause who beat Tumbleweed Ridge, an older half-brother to Scarlett Rose, in the 1995 Gimcrack Stakes.

Scarlett Rose has a yearling colt by Night Of Thunder and was covered by Invincible Spirit in 2017.

She comes from a family that seems to work well with Giant’s Causeway line sires – Scarlett Rose is a half-sister to Tumbleweed Pearl, who is the grand-dam of the Listedwinning sprinter Fort Del Oro by Shamardal’s leading sire son Lope De Vega.

Footsteps in on the act for Giant’s Causeway

Footstepsinthesand made it two winners for sons of the late Giant’s Causeway on the first day of Royal Ascot when his daughter Lagostovegas took the 2m4f Ascot Stakes leading home a 1-3-4-5 for trainer Willie Mullins.

The six-year-old has been mixing hurdling and the Flat for the majority of her career and was fifth in the County Hurdle at Cheltenham in March and third in Ireland’s richest handicap hurdle, the Guinness Galway Hurdle last summer.

Poet had the last Word in the PoW POET’S WORD created Royal Ascot history with his victory in the Group 1 Prince Of Wales’s Stakes taking Sir Michael Stoute to 76 winners at the Royal meeting and making him the most successful trainer at Royal Ascot.

The five-year-old horse also provided his sire Poet’s Voice with his first winner at the highest level, the second time in the first two days that a recently deceased young stallion sired their first Group 1 winner following Delegator on Tuesday.

Bred by Woodcote Stud, Poet’s Word was purchased for 300,000gns at Book 2 of Tattersalls October Yearling Sale by Charlie Gordon-Watson. .

Poet’s Word stepped up from winning a maiden and handicap at three to take the Glorious Stakes (G3) at Goodwood and finish runner-up in both the Irish Champion Stakes (G1) and the Champion Stakes (G1) last year.

Poet’s Word also filled the same position behind Hawksbill in the Dubai Sheema Classic (G1) at Meydan earlier this year.

Poet’s Word is the second Group winner produced by the Nashwan mare Whirly Bird, the first being her Raven’s Pass filly Malabar, victorious in a pair of Group 3 contests at Goodwood. Whirly Bird is the grand-dam of last season’s Railway Stakes (G2) winner and Group 1-placed colt Beckford.

Somewhat ironically given that her grandson defeated Cracksman, who is

owned and bred by Anthony Oppenheimer’s Hascombe and Valiant Studs, Poet’s Word’s second dam Inchyre was also bred and raced by the Oppenheimers. She is the dam of Irish St Leger Trial (G3) winner Ursa Major and Listed winner Inchiri.

Inchyre is out of Inchmurrin which makes her a half-sister to Inchinor, a son of Ahonoora who was a very promising sire when he died at the age of 13. Inchinor is the sire of Group 1 winner Notnowcato whose best son Redkirk Warrior is a dual Group 1 winner in Australia.

It is also the family of EP Taylor Stakes (G1) winner Miss Keller and the Classic-placed Venus De Milo.

Whirly Bird has a two-year-old filly

by Kingman named Incharge who was purchased by Stroud Coleman on behalf of Brightwalton Stud for 200,000gns at Book 1.

She is in training with Charlie Hills.

Poet’s Voice won the Champagne Stakes (G2) at two, but his best performance was his Queen Elizabeth II Stakes (G1) victory as a three-year-old beating Group 1 winners Rip Van Winkle, Makfi and Beethoven.

Bred by Darley, he retired to the operation’s English base at Dalham Hall Stud to stand alongside his sire Dubawi, until his death earlier this year at the age of just 11.

Two more of Dubawi’s Group 1-winning sons – Night Of Thunder and Postponed – stand alongside their outstanding sire,

royal ascot Bloodstock agent and yearling purchaser Charlie Gordon-Watson announced after Poet’s Word’s Group 1 success that the son of Poet’s Voice was the “best-looking horse” he had ever purchased as a yearling

while Time Test stands his first season at the National Stud.

New Bay, who is from the Juddmonte family that has produced Oasis Dream, Kingman, Beat Hollow, Martaline and Coastal Path, is another young son of Dubawi.

He stands at Ballylinch Stud alongside a grandson of Dubawi in Makfi’s son Make Believe, who beat New Bay in the 2015 running of the Poules d’Essai des Poulains (G1).

A Signora for Camacho

Camacho’s excellent 2018 continued at Royal Ascot with the success of his daughter Signora Cabello in the Queen Mary Stakes (G2). The son of Danehill, who stands at Yeomanstown Stud, has already sired Poules d’Essais des Pouliches winner Teppal in 2018, a first Group 1 winner for Camacho.

Signora Cabello, already successful in York’s Listed Marygate Stakes, is just the

second Group 2 winner, and fifth Group winner overall, for Camacho who was bred

by Juddmonte Farms and is a half-brother to Showcasing (Oasis Dream), sire of Group 1 winner Quiet Reflection.

His Royal Ascot winner was bred by John Fleming and Damien Burns out of Journalist, a half-sister to Flying Childers (G2) winner Sheer Viking, by Danehill. Their dam Schlefalora is herself a half-sister to Las Meninas, who won the Irish 1,000 Guineas (G1) for Tommy Stack. She is also a half-sister to the second dam of Golden Jubilee (G1) and Nunthorpe (G1) victor Kingsgate Native.

Journalist raced in the Godolphin blue, finishing second in the Princess Margaret Stakes (G3) and producing six winners including La Presse, a Gone West filly who was fourth in the Cheveley Park (G1) Signora Cabello was sold by the Burns family’s Lodge Park Stud, the renowned Centre: Signora Cabello

Kilkenny farm, at last year’s Tattersalls Book 3 Sale where she was purchased for 20,000gns by Richard Knight and Sean Quinn for trainer John Quinn.

Prior to her Royal Ascot victory, Phoenix Thoroughbreds bought a 75 per cent stake in the filly from Zen Racing who retained the remaining quarter.

Expert rebounds to form

Expert Eye regained much of the spark he displayed when romping to victory in the Vintage Stakes (G2) at last season’s Glorious Goodwood in his Jersey Stakes (G3) success on Wednesday.

The son of Acclamation was spoken of as a potential 2,000 Guineas winner after that stunning success but disappointed in the Dewhurst (G1) when ninth and he could only manage tenth place behind Saxon Warrior in this year’s first Classic.

Trained by Sir Michael for owner-breeder Juddmonte Farms, Expert Eye is the second foal and winner out of Divisionist, a winning half-sister to Special Duty, who was successful in the Cheveley Park Stakes and has the distinction of winning both the two 1,000 Guineas races in the stewards’ room.

Their dam is a full-sister to seven-times Grade 1-winning mare Sightseek (Distant View) and a half-sister to Tates Creek whose two top level victories include the Yellow Ribbon Stakes (G1). Expert Eye is the product of four generations of Juddmonte breeding.

A fine tune from Stradivarius

F

RANKIE DETTORI and Stradivarius played the sweetest song of all in the Ascot Gold Cup (G1) to give the effervescent Italian his sixth win in the iconic race and sire Sea The Stars his first.

The diminutive chestnut showed heart and guts to repel Vazirabad and Torcedor at the end of 2m4f where he was keen to start with.

Racing in the colours of his breeder Bjorn Nielsen, Stradivarius is the latest of eight individual Group 1 winners by his sire, the incomparable champion Sea The Stars.

Stradivarius’s victory in last season’s Goodwood Cup (G1) made him one of three new individual Group 1 winners during 2017 for Sea The Stars and contributed to his sire’s fee increasing to €135,000 for the 2018 season, his highest so far.

Standing at the Aga Khan’s Gilltown Stud, Sea The Stars has a highly impressive 15 per cent stakes winners to runners rate and is a half-brother to the phenomenon that is Galileo.

Stradivarius was bought back by Nielsen for 330,000gns when he went under the hammer at the Tattersalls October Yearling Sale in 2015. He is a half-brother to Persian

Stradivarius is the last out of his Bering dam, Private Life.

Of her seven runners, just one was a filly

Storm, a German Group 3 winner by Monsun, and is the last foal out of their dam Private Life, a Bering half-sister to the grand-dam of Melbourne Cup winner Protectionist.

She was bred by the Wildenstein family out of Poughkeepsie, a daughter of their brilliant mare Pawneese, who won the King George, Oaks and Prix de Diane in 1976. Private Life was sold on behalf of the Wildenstein family at the 2006 Tattersalls December Mare Sale where Blandford Bloodstock purchased her at 70,000gns for Nielsen.

Magic Wand living up to her sales price

Magic Wand cast a spell on her rivals in the Ribblesdale Stakes (G2) bringing further glory to her illustrious family and going someway towards repaying her €1.4m yearling sales price.

The daughter of Galileo, who previously won the Listed Cheshire Oaks before finishing fourth in the Epsom Oaks (G1), is the fourth yearling out of Prudenzia to make seven figures at auction. Magic Wand is the most expensive of the four selling for €1.4 million to Peter and Ross Doyle at Arqana’s August Yearling Sale in 2016. She is also a three-parts

by Montjeu, who became the most expensive horse sold at public auction in Ireland when purchased by the Doyles on behalf of Coolmore for €6 million at the 2013 Goffs November Sale.

Prudenzia is a Listed-winning daughter of Dansili and a half-sister to Pacifique, a Group 3 winner by Montjeu. It is the family of last year’s Melbourne Cup (G1) hero Rekindling, dual Oaks winner Alexandrova and Magical Romance, successful in the Shang Shang Shang Cheveley Park Stakes (G1).

Bred by Ecurie Monceaux and Lady O’Reilly’s Skymarc Farm, Magic Wand will try for Classic glory in the Irish Oaks (G1) at The Curragh on July 21. Her two-yearold full-sister cost €900,000 at Arqana last August and is in training with Aidan O’Brien, while her yearling half-brother by Muhaarar is due to be sold at Arqana in August.

A first Gold Cup victory for Gosden

Camelot adds to the magic

Camelot sired his first Royal Ascot winner with the victory of Hunting Horn in the Group 3 Hampton Court Stakes. Trained by Aidan O’Brien for the Coolmore partners, Hunting Horn is a half-brother to David Livingston, who won the Beresford Stakes (G2) and was third in the Group 1 National Stakes at The Curragh for the same connections. Their dam Mora Bai is an Indian Ridge half-sister to dual Breeders Cup hero High Chaparral, who was a leading sire in both hemispheres.

Hunting Horn is a fourth Group winner for Camelot, who is currently Europe’s leading first

crop sire of three-year-olds. His victory was the first Group success as a sire in England or Ireland for Camelot whose three previous Group winners, all from his first crop, were in France and Italy.

Fighting Irish’s win in the Group 2 Criterium de Saint-Cloud was the sole Group win at two for Camelot’s first crop, who were expected to be better at three.

So it has proved with Wait Forever and Pollara adding two more Group race victories this year before Hunting Horn made the

Royal Ascot breakthrough.

Camelot stands at Coolmore’s Fethard farm for €30,000 and he was joined on the Royal Ascot winners list by Shanghai Bobby, a Coolmore America stallion who also has his first three-year-olds this year.

Shanghai Bobby is a son of Harlan’s Holiday and was America’s champion twoyear-old colt of 2012 courtesy of victories in the Champagne Stakes (G1) and Breeders’ Cup Juvenile (G1).

Harlan’s Holiday, three times successful at the highest level, is by Storm Cat and is the sire of Into Mischief.

June proved a particularly successful month for Shanghai Bobby as the eight-year-old had a Group 1 double in Brazil, where he spent the 2014 and 2015 southern hemisphere breeding seasons, on June 12 with two-year-old sons Habile Bobby and Inforcer providing him with his first top-level victories as a sire.

Masterful performance from Alpha Centauri

A

LPHA CENTAURI is the nearest star to our solar system and the brightest in racing’s galaxy after her record-breaking victory in the Coronation Stakes (G1).

Jessica Harrington’s first Royal Ascot winner smashed the track record for the round mile as she burned brighter than the midday sun in a stunning 6l victory.

Bred by her owners the Niarchos family, Alpha Centauri was the second Group winner on Friday’s card to descend from Pasadoble, the Listed-winning mare who has founded a dynasty for her breeders, particularly through her daughter Miesque.

Alpha Centauri boasts Miesque as her third dam, as does the Niarchos family’s other Classic winner of this year –

www.internationalthoroughbred.net

Prix du Jockey-Club victor Study Of Man. Her grand-dam is East Of The Moon, Miesque’s daughter by Private Account and a half-sister to Kingmambo. East Of The Moon was a top-class racemare winning the Poule d’Essai des Pouliches, Prix de Diane and emulating her mother with victory in the Prix Jacques Le Marois. Amongst her offspring are Group 2 winner Moon Driver and the unraced Rahy mare Alpha Lupi, dam of Royal Ascot’s luminous star.

Alpha Centauri is her sixth foal and best by far, of the three winners she has produced.

Alpha Lupi is the the dam of Tenth Star, a Dansili colt who won the Listed Golden Fleece Stakes at Leopardstown over 7f and followed that with second place in the Royal Lodge Stakes (G2). She also has a Danehill Dancer three-parts sister to Alpha Centauri named Elitiste, who was successful over 7f.

Alan Cooper, racing manager to the Niarchos family explained their thinking behind the mating.

“The mare’s first foal called Tenth Star

“...we went to Galileo a few times and it didn’t work so we thought we’d go back to the Danzig and Mastercraftsman suited very well” was by Dansili, then we went to Galileo a few times and it didn’t work so we thought we’d go back to the Danzig line and Mastercraftsman suited very well, so we came to it from that angle. He is a sire of racehorses.”

Kingston Hill stands at Coolmore’s Castlehyde farm and he has two crops on the ground, while The Grey Gatsby retired to stud this year at Haras du Petit Tellier.

Mastercraftsman has sired three new Group 1 winners this year on three continents with Saint Emilion winning in New Zealand, Alpha Centauri claiming the Irish 1,000 Guineas and Coronation Stakes, and A Raving Beauty making the breakthrough at the highest level in the Just A Game Stakes (G1) on the Belmont Stakes card in June.

Alpha Centauri is one of three Group winners so far from Mastercraftsman’s three-year-old crop, bred at a fee of €35,000, which went up to that following Kingston Hill’s St Leger win in 2014. His two-year-olds of this year are his most expensively bred crop to date at €40,000, but he stood the 2018 season for €25,000.

Alpha Lupi has a two-year-old filly by So You Think, who was bought back by vendors Camas Park Stud for 58,000gns at Book 1 last year. She has a yearling filly by Sea The Stars and returned to Mastercraftsman in 2017.

Old Persian another score for Miesque

Earlier in the afternoon another descendent of Pasadoble, through her daughter Massaraat, a full-sister to Miesque, won the King Edward VII Stakes – Old Persian, providing Dubawi with his 99th Group winner when toughing it out to win the Ascot Derby for Charlie Appleby and Godolphin.

Unraced, Massaraat was one of six foals Pasadoble produced with Nureyev who, like her, raced in the Niarchos famous navy and light blue silks.

She is the third dam of Old Persian, who is out of the Singspiel mare Indian Petal.

She is a full-sister to Ribblesdale Stakes winner Silkwood and Silent Honor by Sunday Silence, who won the Cherry Hinton Stakes (G2). It is also the family of Architecture who was second in both the Oaks and Irish Oaks two years’ ago.

Indian Petal has a two-year-old filly by Poet’s Voice named Chapelli, unbeaten in her two starts before contesting the Windsor Castle Stakes and a yearling filly by Pivotal.

She returned to Dubawi in 2017.

Both that foal and Old Persian are inbred 5 x 5 to the blue hen Sun Bittern, dam of High Hawk who in turn is the dam of In The Wings, sire of Singspiel. Sun Bittern is also the dam of High Tern, who is grand-dam of Zomaradah, the dam of Dubawi.

They are also inbred 4 x 4 to Mr Prospector through his grandson Dubai Milennium, sire of Dubawi, and son Woodman who is

Mastercraftsman has sired three new Group 1 winners this year on three continents Indian Petal’s damsire.

Invincible Spirit could have another top-class son retiring to stud in the form of Commonwealth Stakes (G1) winner Eqtidaar.

The Shadwell homebred became the 16th individual Group 1, and 52nd Group winner, for the Irish National Stud’s kingpin who stands at a fee of €120,000 again in 2018.

Eqtidaar is the third foal and third winner out of Madany, a daughter of Acclamation.

Her first foal Massaat by Teofilo was second to Air Force Blue in the Dewhurst Stakes (G1) and filled the same position behind Galileo Gold in the 2,000 Guineas (G1) and won the 7f Hungerford Stakes (G2) and was third to Ribchester in the Prix du Moulin (G1) last year.

Madany was bred by Brendan and Anne Marie Hayes at Knocktoran Stud and is the second Group 1 winner in just over 12 months descended from their mare Belle de Cadix

Merchant Navy takes the Diamond Jubilee Stakes. He is the first colt by Fastnet Rock to win a Group 1 over a sprint trip in the northern hemisphere

Merchant travels in style from Down Under MERCHANT NAVY was sent to Ballydoyle with one purpose – to win a Group 1 Royal Ascot sprint before retiring to stud at Coolmore Australia. As sure as night follows day, that is exactly what the son of Fastnet Rock did when sticking his neck out at the death to claim the Diamond Jubilee Stakes.

A four-year-old on northern hemisphere terms but still only three in his native Australia, Merchant Navy is due to return home to begin his stallion career in August, his fee of A$55,000 has already been announced although he does hold an entry in the July Cup (G1).

A winner of a Listed handicap at two, Merchant Navy won the Coolmore Stud Stakes (G1) the same race in which Zoustar, who will stand next season at Tweenhills Stud, was successful.

He was third on both his starts in Australia this year, including to Redkirk Warrior in the Lexus Newmarket Handicap (G1) his final race on home soil before his move to Ballydoyle following Coolmore’s reported A$30million buyout.

Merchant Navy is one of four Group 1 winners from Fastnet Rock’s 2014-bred crop in Australia. Overall, Fastnet Rock is the sire of 35 individual Group 1 winners and

With that coveted Royal Ascot victory on his CV and unbeaten in both his starts for Aidan O’Brien, Merchant Navy has the potential to join his sire in reverse shuttling to Ireland.

He is the second foal of his dam Dijarvo, a Listed winner over 5f as a juvenile and placed in the Railbird Stakes (G3) at Hollywood Park. She is by Cheveley Park Stud’s Coventry Stakes winner Iceman, who passed away at just six years of age.

It is a speedy family with Dijarvo’s four

royal ascot Arthur Kitt survives to win the Chesham

The Derby winners Sea The Stars and Camelot sired their second winners of the meeting on Saturday. Camelot’s son Arthur Kitt took the opening Chesham Stakes for owner-breeder Andrew Black’s Chasemore Farm, and was bred with this race in mind.

Arthur Kitt is the first stakes winner from Camelot’s second crop, his first has yielded six stakes winners so far, including Thursday’s Hampton Court (G3) winner Hunting Horn.

The final foal of his dam Ceiling Kitty, successful in the Group 2 Queen Mary Stakes six years’ ago. She died from complications foaling her colt.

Ceiling Kitty has a perfect record as a broodmare with her first foal, Earth Kitt by Pivotal, signing off her racing career with victory in the Listed Boadicea Stakes.

The options open up for Crystal Ocean

The improving Crystal Ocean (Sea The Stars) went to the head of the betting (5-2f) for the King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes after his impressive success in the Hardwicke Stakes (G2).

It was an 11th win in the race for trainer Sir Michael Stoute

winning half-siblings all successful at 5f or 6f and her dam Thicket (Wolfhound), a winner over 5f at two.

Showcasing is the sire of Group 1-winning sprinter Quiet Reflection, herself a Royal Ascot winner courtesy of her victory in the 2016 Commonwealth Cup (G1) and she was purchased by Coolmore for 2.1 million guineas at last year’s Tattersalls December Mare Sale.

Bred and raced by Juddmonte Farm, Showcasing is a half-brother to Camacho.

An 11-year-old now, Showcasing’s fee has increased every year since his first crop made their track debuts in 2015 and he stood this year at a fee of £40,000.

He is the sire of 14 individual Group winners headed by Quiet Reflection and his winners to runners ratio for his current crop of two-year-olds is just under 33 per cent

Crystal Ocean was the second Royal Ascot 2018 winner for Sea The Stars and the second Royal Ascot winner produced by Crystal Star when claiming the Hardwicke Stakes (G2).

The four-year-old colt is a half-brother to Hillstar (Danehill Dancer), who won the King Edward VII Stakes (G2) and went on to win the Group 1 Canadian International Stakes.

Hillstar stands at Garryrichard Stud in Wexford and his oldest crop are yearlings.

Crystal Star has produced a Listed and three Group winners for her breeder Sir Evelyn de Rothschild in whose colours she and they raced.

King Frankel of Royal Ascot FOR the first time in his stud career, Frankel was crowned king of Royal Ascot as the meeting’s leading sire. The world champion racehorse, who won the St James’s Palace and Queen Anne Stakes at the Royal meeting, sired three winners during the week headed by Group 1 St James’s Palace winner Without Parole.

Galileo was usurped by his son as leading sire, perhaps a premonition of the future?

He was one of four sires to have two winners along with his half-brother Sea The Stars and Mastercraftsman, who both sired impressive Group 1 winners amongst their brace of successes, while Camelot got off the mark for the Royal meeting with a winner representing each of his first two crops.

Two of the most influential mares of the last three decades also featured prominently in the winners’ pedigress at the Royal meeting. Allegretta, through her son King’s Best, grandsons Galileo and Sea The Stars, and great-grandsons Frankel, Teofilo and New Approach featured in the pedigrees of 10 winners, including Group 1 stars Without Parole and Stradivarius.

The great Miesque is the third dam of Alpha Centauri, whose soaring victory in the Group 1 Coronation Stakes was one of the most thrilling wins of the week. Miesque’s full-sister Massaraat is also the third dam of Old Persian, who looked full of promise when claiming the King Edward VII Stakes earlier on the same card.

A

fter 12 of the 14 major European Classic races had been run no horse had managed to win more than one, and the double winners are trainer Aidan O’Brien, who was probably disappointed to have won only two with Saxon Warrior and Forever Together, Shadai Farm’s Deep Impact, sire of three Classic winners – Saxon Warrior, Study Of Man and the Japanese Derby winner Wagnerian – as well as the Niarchos family, the owner and breeder of Classic winners in Ireland and France – Alpha Centauri and Study Of Man. While major international owners and breeders such as Coolmore, the Niarchos family and Godolphin were among the winners, they were joined by a group of the friends of the late Bob McCreery, the breeder of 1,000 Guineas winner Billesdon Brook.

Of those who had been through a sales ring, they ranged in price from the €900,000 Coolmore paid Ballylinch Stud for Together Forever at the Goffs Orby Sale to the 40,000gns Nyaleti’s trainer Mark Johnston gave to Baroda And Colbinstown Studs at Tattersalls October Book 1 Sale.

The 1,000 Guineas runner-up and Prix Diane winner Laurens was the top-priced filly at the Goffs Premier Sale at Doncaster costing £220,000, Roaring Lion, the Derby third, was bought for $160,000 at Keeneland September, and Arqana sold the two Poule d’Essai winners Olmedo and Teppal, as well as the Classic-placed Dice Roll, Wind Chimes, Patascoy and Louis D’Or, and all for €130,000 or less.

Finally, the Poule d’Essai des Pouliches runner-up Coeur de Beaute was sold at the Osarus September Sale for €30,000.

For those convinced by such considerations they will be pleased to note that the 2018 Classic winners all come from famous female families.

Billesdon Brook was bred by Bob McCreery’s Stowell Hill and her third dam Anna Paola (1978) was a champion in Germany for Gestüt Röttgen and was one of Sheikh Mohammed’s early purchases.

For Darley, Anna Paola and her daughters have produced a series of top horses, including Australian Group 1 winners Helmet and Epaulette.

Masar’s fifth dam Allegretta (1978) was bred and raced by Gestüt Schlenderhan and in Keeneland by Marystead Farm. Allegretta, of course, is the dam of King’s Best and Urban Sea. Forever Together’s third dam Chain Store

Study Of Man (10) takes the Prix du Jockey-Club. His sire Deep Impact has already had five Group 1 winners this year and his growing influence in Europe is an important development

For those convinced by such considerations they will be pleased to note that the 2018 Classic winners all come from famous female families (1972) is the dam of the Classic winner Al Bahathri. Romanised’s fourth dam Bubinka (1976) and her daughters produced many top horses for Moyglare Stud.

Olmedo comes from another famous German family as his fifth dam Schonbrunn (1966) was bred by Schlenderhan, but raced in France for the Wildenstein family, who has bred numerous top horses from her family.

Alpha Centauri and Study Of Man are both descended from Pasadoble (1979), the dam of Miesque who was purchased as a yearling by François Boutin and Sir Philip Payne Galway at Fasig Tipton in Kentucky for $45,000. It is the equivalent of $130,000 in today’s money and in real terms the same as Marystead paid for Allegretta in-foal to Irish Castle at the 1984 Keeneland November Sale.

classic racing Finally, Saxon Warrior’s fourth dam Rose Of Jericho (1984) was bred by Robert Sangster and is the dam of Derby winner Dr Devious, as well as Rain Flower, the dam of the Oaks winner Dancing Rain.

However, breeding Classic winners is not quite as simple as buying fillies or mares from Classic families and then breeding them to top stallions and waiting for the next Classic winner to appear.

To start with all Classic families have to start somewhere and then by reproduction they grow exponentially. In five generations a thoroughbred mare with average fertility is likely to have close to a 1,000 descendants, and in every family there are plenty of average or ordinary horses.

This is why some of these Classic mares were purchased relatively inexpensively.

McCreery bought Billesdon Brook’s second dam for only 45,000gns in-foal to Dubai Destination at the 2005 Tattersalls December Sale, and there were 100s of yearlings for sale in 1980 with as good a pedigree as Miesque’s dam Pasadoble. She was a daughter of the poor stallion Prove Out and out of an unraced mare by the ordinary stallion Sanctus.

Of course, others have paid a lot of money to get into a Classic family with long term success. Masar’s third dam Melikah, a daughter of the Pric de l’Arc de Triomphe winners Lammtarra and Urban Sea, topped

the 1998 Deauville August Sale selling to Sheikh Mohammed for 10 million francs, the equivalent in real terms of around £1.8 million.

Friendly rivalry: as the Derby runners cross the line, De Ex Bee’s lad Paddy Trainor (left) congratulates Said Badahar, who looks after the winner Masar

Deep Impact’s 2015 crop already includes five Group 1 winners as the son of Sunday Silence has also been represented by Japan’s 2017 champion two-year-old colt Dannon Premium and Keiai Nautique, a Group 1 winner over a mile this year.

Deep Impact himself never ran over less than 1m2f and his seven Group 1 wins included the Japanese St Leger, over 1m7f, and the Tenno Sho, run over two miles.

His dam Wind In Her Hair was second in the Epsom Oaks and comes from the family of Unfuwain and Nashwan and yet despite all the stamina in his pedigree, and his own performances, Deep Impact has now produced two European Classic winners over a mile and the 1m2f.

The criteria used to select stallions is different in Japan to those generally accepted in Europe, but no one can doubt now that Deep Impact is one of the world’s best sires.

On official ratings Godolphin’s Derby winner Masar currently leads Europe’s Classic generation.

The ground at Epsom dried up significantly

classic racing between the Friday when the Oaks was run and the Saturday of the Derby and Masar’s final time of 2m34.93s was 5.46s faster than Forever Together’s and is close to the median time of Derby’s run this century.

The early leaders Knight To Behold and Kew Gardens were both beaten more than 25l and clearly went too fast for their own good. As the field raced up the straight first Hazapour and then Roaring Lion appeared to be going best of all, but both were found out by the testing nature of the track.

Masar won convincingly by a length and a half from Dee Ex Bee, who stayed on past Roaring Lion to take second place close home.

Saxon Warrior, who had looked nervous and on edge during the preliminaries, stayed on to take fourth without ever looking like being involved in the finish, ahead of Hazapour, a son of Shamardal whose run began to peter out before they reached the 2f pole.

Masar improved significantly on his first run over more than a mile on Turf, but he had looked like a potential champion on several occasions before Epsom.

The Charlie Appleby-trained son of New Approach had made a spectacular winning debut over 6f at Goodwood last May when coming from last to catch the subsequent Group-winning sprinter Invincible Army to win in the final strides.

Forever Together, the daughter of Galileo came up the stands’ side to win the Oaks under a jubilant Donnacha O’Brien (below)

Masar has won two other races, both times looking like a top horse. At Sandown last September he won a Group 3 beating fellow Classic winner Romanised comfortably, and in April this year he won the mile Group 3 Craven Stakes by 9l.

The key to Masar seems to have been getting him to settle. He ran very well in defeat behind September at Royal Ascot, Happily at Chantilly and Saxon Warrior at Newmarket, but on each occasion he was just too free in the early part of the race or tugged himself into the lead too soon.

At Epsom, he was beautifully settled behind the leaders and was more or less in the right place going well from start to finish.

He is a very attractive, well balanced colt and now he has learnt to use his ability against other gifted horses he looks set for more victories at the highest level.

Aidan O’Brien saddled nine colts in the Derby and the Jockey-Club, none of whom managed to finish placed. Some of the nine will surely come back, but at this stage it does look as though for once there is not a squad of high class middle-distance colts in the stable.

For the fillies it is a different story as the stable’s Forever Together won the Oaks

impressively by over 4l from Godolphin’s Wild Illusion, who was followed home by the O’Brien-trained fillies Bye Bye Baby, Magic Wand and Flattering.

Bye Bye Baby set a very strong pace – the final time was faster than that recorded by the Oaks winners Minding, Talent and

Dancing Rain on better ground – at the top of the home straight she was soon passed

by Wild Illusion, Forever Together and Flattering, who came up the stands’ side.

Forever Together had a brief tussle with the Godolphin filly, but was soon on top and stayed on well to the line.

classic racing This was a first victory for the Galileo filly, but she had looked very promising when second to Magic Wand in the Cheshire Oaks after being stopped twice in the final 2f.

How good was the Jockey-Club?

As is almost always the case, the Racing Post announced that the Niarchos family’s Study Of Man had won “one of the weaker” editions of the Prix du Jockey-Club.

The winner’s connections will hope this proves to be as accurate an assessment as the paper’s description of Almanzor’s Jockey-Club, which was described as “rank ordinary” – Almanzor went on to become Europe’s best three-year-old in 2016.

The Pascal Bary-trained Study Of Man had impressed when beating one of the best German-trained three-year-olds Alounak to win the Group 2 Prix Greffhule over 1m2f on his previous start.

The question mark over the value of the Jockey-Club does look to be legitimate as some horses who had looked to be only good rather than top class finished close-up behind the winner, in particular Louis D’Or in third and Not Mine in fifth.

Three-year-olds do change and some can Godolphin filly, but was soon on top and stayed on well to the line.

The other doubt comes from looking at the sectional times as Study Of Man did not quicken away from his rivals in the straight, but stayed on to hold the challenges of Patascoy and Louis D’Or only narrowly.

Saxon Warrior kicked off Deep Impact’s 2018 European run of form in the 2,000 Guineas, and gave his young jockey a first Classic success

For three-year-olds the track at Chantilly is testing – it is a long climb up from the bottom of the home turn by the château, particularly on the soft ground this year’s race was run over.

Study Of Man covered the last 600m in 36.45s, which compares favourably to the other recent Jockey-Club winners on soft ground.

Almanzor ran the last 600m in 36.49s,

classic racing Billesdon Brook wins the 1,000 Guineas, a great testament to the skill and pedigree knowledge of her breeder, the late Bob McCreery

Reliable Man in 37.2s and Lope De Vega 37s so he is within 0.5s of all of them.

The difference between these four Jockey-Club’s came in the first part of the race, not in the home straight. Lope De Vega ran the first 1,000m in 58.3s, whereas the next fastest was Reliable Man’s race of 1m4.1s, while Study Of Man’s was 1m6.22s and Almanzor 1m8.48s.

The uphill finish is a tough test even for those who didn’t, like Lope De Vega, sprint through the first part of the race.

The draw is also a big factor on the track and whereas Study Of Man was always well placed on the heels of the leaders from his low draw of seven,whereas Patascoy from stall 17 was forced to race without cover on the outside through the first 7f of the race.

Patascoy, is a son of Wootton Bassett trained at Mont de Marsan by Xavier Thomas Demeaulte, and he looks to have a very bright future too.

Impressive winners in Germany

The German Guineas races run at Cologne and Dusseldorf are rarely won by Group 1 horses, but both of this year’s winners were

For three-year-olds the track at Chantilly is testing – it is a long climb from the bottom of the home turn by the château, particularly on soft ground particularly impressive.

Stall Ullmann’s Ancient Spirit, a son of Invincible Spirit trained by Jean Pierre Carvalho, won the Mehl-Mulhens-Rennen race by 4l beating two useful English-trained colts in Fajjaj and Fighting Irish.

He may have been flattered as this was a huge improvement on earlier form and carrying blinkers for the first time he took advantage of a slow early pace to round the field on the turn and quicken into a clear lead.

The Mark Johnston-trained Arch filly Nyaleti won the fillies’ race by the same

margin, and if anything won more easily still as she was never really extended.

Nyaleti had looked like a potential top horses at the beginning of her career, she won a Group race at Ascot by 5l last July, and looks set to fulfill that potential now.

The Deutsches Derby is due to be run on the second weekend of July and Jaber Abdullah’s Royal Youmzain is a short-priced ante-post favourite after two impressive Group wins this year in Munich and at Baden-Baden at the beginning of June.

Royal Youmzain is a son of Youmzain from a Classic family, the same one as Olmedo as both are descended from Schwazblurot (1947) a daughter of the champion Schwarzgold (1937).

Trained by Andreas Wöhler, Royal Youmzain had won the Group 2 Gran Criterium at two after being narrowly defeated by Alounak in a Listed race.

At Baden-Baden he was cantering throughout the race and won unchallenged.

At the time of writing the second favourite is Röttgen’s Weltstar, a half-brother to the 2017 winner Windstoss, who was a staying on fourth in the Mehl-Mulhens-Rennen.

hen the horses entered the gate for the second race at Santa Anita on February 18, 2018 it seemed like just a normal day at the track when a highly touted three-year-old trained by Bob Baffert named Justify won his debut as the favourite.

One 111 days later, Justify became racing’s newest Triple Crown winner.

From the penultimate crop of Scat Daddy, Justify is only the second undefeated Triple Crown victor alongside Seattle Slew.

Even more notable is that he went from first-time starter to Triple Crown winner in less than half the time of any of the Triple Crown winners in the 1970s or American Pharoah. Seattle Slew is the only Triple Crown winner from that time period to win the big three less than 300 days after his debut.

Justify has rewritten history several times during his campaign as he also stands alone in being the only Triple Crown winner to not race at two, and the first Kentucky Derby winner since Apollo in 1882 to start his career after the three-year-old birthday celebrations died down on January 1.

The Kentucky Derby points system established in 2013 has been the downfall of other horses with only one shot at qualifying for the Kentucky Derby in a prep race, but it was no problem for the big chestnut colt.

One of the tougher races on the Derby trail, the Santa Anita Derby has produced three Classic winners and one other Classicplaced horse since 2011. It was the race Baffert pointed this hopeful to in his one-shot attempt to get into the Derby starting gate.

While Justify was taking on one of the top three-year-olds in Bolt D’Oro, such was the regard bettors had for him that he went off at odds of .90-1.

That faith was justified less than two minutes after the horses broke from the gate when Justify toyed with Bolt D’Oro before pulling away to win by 3l over that rival, with the rest of the field nearly 10l behind the winner.

Historic rainfall threatened to derail Justify’s bid for history before it even began with the wettest Kentucky Derby in history.

But much like his Triple Crown-winning stablemate, Justify proved to be part duck as he crossed the line with barely a speck of mud on him in a two and a half length Derby victory.

The champion two-year-old Good Magic kept sire Curlin’s record of producing a

Tripartite

Justify retains his unbeaten record to become the 13th Triple Crown winner, writes Melissa Bauer-Herzog Classic placed horse in every crop alive, while also forming a budding rivalry with the Derby winner, when finishing second.

Audible gave Justify’s ownership group a race to remember in third for trainer Todd Pletcher and became progressive sire Into Mischief’s first Classic-placed runner.

The Preakness was another wet affair with rain hitting Baltimore in the week leading up to the race, but at post time it was fog that added a kink to the programme.

While the race callers had issues seeing just where the horses were, Justify and Good Magic engaged in a head-to-head duel throughout the early stages. Good Magic faded to fourth after a ride criticised by his trainer Chad Brown, but Justify proved that, even when tested, he is tough. There was controversy after the race when viewers tried to figure out if Justify’s half-length victory was due to tiredness or just jockey Mike Smith easing up on him in the closing stages.

With five starts under his belt in just a few months and his small margin of victory, in addition to Scat Daddy’s top sons mostly proving to be sprinters, speculation was ripe about the horse’s chances in the Belmont.

Could a horse who had done everything he’d done since February still be sharp and fresh enough to win a 1m4f race?

Pushed out of the gate from the start

by Smith with stablemate Restoring Hope getting fresh and going with him (and helping to act as his “bouncer”), Justify led wire-towire with the only threat coming from Vino Rosso in the far turn.

But like he’d done when the two raced in their pasture at Glennwood Farm as foals, Justify shrugged him off and had a clear run down the stretch to give his Hall of Fame jockey a first Triple Crown victory.

The three-year-old division may have seen another rising star in the Belmont with

Gronkowski making a belated US debut after missing the Kentucky Derby in May. It was his first start since transferring to trainer Chad Brown and the son of Lonhro proved Dirt shouldn’t be any issue going forward with his campaign.

Tapit’s Belmont placing streak was also able to be kept alive when Hofburg finished third to give the sire a top three placing for the fifth year running.

WinStar Farm’s Elliott Walden said post-race that the plan is for Justify to

us racing So far in 2018, Scat Daddy has accounted for nine stakes winners and six graded stakes winners for a combined 14 stakes wins continue racing at least through the year.

“We’ll take a deep breath and see where we are,” said Walden. “We’re looking forward to sharing him more. He’s become a household name and I’m looking forward to his next race as much as (everyone else).”

Soon after the concluding race in the Triple Crown series, reportedly Coolmore, ahead of the third leg, had purchased Justify’s breeding rights for $60 million, with an upshot of another $15 million if he won the Belmont.

The highest previous stallion deal was the $70 million Coolmore paid to acquire 2000 Kentucky Derby winner Fusaichi Pegasus.

Justify’s victory is a boon for Dirt breeders who want to dip back into the Scat Daddy line, and with Coolmore in the mix he will have a shuttle options ahead too.

While the sire has a few sons standing in the US, his Group 1-winning sons to this

point had done their best running on Turf and as such stand abroad. It’s probable that Coolmore’s UAE Derby winner Mendelssohn will join the US roster, but he is another whose Group 1 victory comes on Turf.

So far this year, Scat Daddy has had an excellent season with his runners in the US. The late stallion was only $1.1 million behind leading sire Candy Ride after the Belmont Stakes with Pegasus winner Gun Runner providing most of Candy Ride’s earnings.

So far in 2018, Scat Daddy has accounted for nine stakes winners and six graded stakes winners for a combined 14 stakes wins.

Unfortunately Scat Daddy’s on-track success will be coming to an end in the near future with his final crop of two-year-olds on the track now, though that crop already accounts for seven winners, including a stakes winner and three stakes placers.

Perhaps the biggest winner from Justify’s exploits is breeder John Gunther. The Canadian owner of Glennwood Farm in Kentucky purchased Justify’s grand-dam Magical Illusion for $425,000 in 2005.

Breeding her to Ghostzapper in his second season, she produced Justify’s dam Stage Magic who, in another twist of luck for the breeder, was a $70,000 RNA at Keeneland in 2008 and went on to place in multiple stakes.

Justify is the mare’s third foal and one of two foals from Glennwood’s 2015 crop to make it to the Triple Crown races. The other being Vino Rosso, the Wood Memorial winner whose dam Gunther purchased for only $42,000 in 2011.

Simon Rowlands takes a deep breath and gives us a comprehensive ratings review of the international racing scene so far in 2018

T

here is much ground to cover in a ratings review that goes back to earlyFebruary, but only one place to start, and that is with Justify, the 13th US Triple Crown winner and only second since the 1970s.

None of Justify’s wins in the Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs, Preakness Stakes at Pimlico and Belmont Stakes at Belmont prompted a stratospheric performance rating from Timeform – they went 127, 120 and 124 respectively – but he overcame adversity to take each leg with authourity and there is a good chance better still is to come from him.

There may well need to be, for there is no indication that the crop he has been dominating is

www.internationalthoroughbred.net

better than average.

By way of comparison, American Pharoah registered performance ratings of 126, 126 and 131 in the same three races in 2015 before taking the Breeders’ Cup Classic against older horses at Keeneland with a spectacular 138-rated effort.

Before Justify went on his Triple Crown spree, Winx had again been seeing off all-comers in Australia with her most recent success in the Queen Elizabeth Stakes at Randwick in April by three and three quarter lengths from Gailo Chop. It was worth a performance rating of 129 compared to her Timeform master rating of 134. This was her 25th win in a row, a world record 18 of them in Group/ Grade 1s.

Royal Ascot: produced some answers, but more questions raised Many of the early-season form lines came together at Royal Ascot with some questions answered and a fair few more posed.

Blue Point confirmed himself a much better horse than his last-of-nine in Hong Kong suggested by winning the King’s Stand Stakes on the opening day in style.

His 129 rating has been surpassed in the race this century only by Lady Aurelia (131 in 2017), who was one of those that under-performed here. Runner-up Battaash seemed to do a bit too much up front and remains on 136 with Timeform.

That 129 figure was matched in another of the meeting’s traditional highlights, the Prince of Wales’s Stakes on Wednesday by Poet’s Word, who took advantage of Cracksman being a bit below his best to put up the highest Timeform rating in the race since Rewilding posted a 132 in 2011.

However, arguably the most breathtaking performance of the entire week came on Friday from Alpha Centauri, who demolished some talented rivals by 6l and more in a Coronation Stakes run in track-record time. Her 127 rating from Timeform makes her the best winner of the race on Timeform’s database going back to 1992.

Other Group 1s went the way of Accidental Agent (123 in a slightly substandard Queen Anne Stakes), Without Parole (a close-to-par 124 in the St James’s Palace Stakes), Eqtidaar (119 in a Commonwealth Cup in which a number of the fancied horses failed to fire) and Stradivarius.

The last-named landed a strong edition of the Gold Cup with a 127 Timeform rating that is the best since 1992.

Merchant Navy won a Diamond Jubilee Stakes in which

at Meydan in March proved notable for several good, but not great, performances.

Thunder Snow won the big race itself by over 5l from 132-rated West Coast, but got the run of things up front and was credited with a 126-rating by Timeform when several pounds more might usually have been justified.

Mendelssohn might also have been flattered somewhat in slamming Rayya by 18l in the UAE Derby.

But his 127 rating was backed up in large part by a very fast time, and he is clearly a great deal better than his subsequent last-of-20 in the slop of the Kentucky Derby might suggest.

Hong Kong’s attempts to create an international meeting

Timeform has Calyx’s performance at 113, but have rated him 118 overall in recognition of how the race unfolded, a quite superb figure for a horse having just his second run

www.internationalthoroughbred.net

Blue Point posted a top quality 129-rating in the King’s Stand Stakes

his former compatriot Redkirk Warrior ran poorly and top local sprinter Harry Angel lost his chance at the start.

A bunched finish means this looks an average, rather than better, winning effort as reflected in a 126 figure from Timeform.

Among the “lesser” races at the meeting, one who will surely be mixing it back in Group 1 company soon is Expert Eye, who ran to 124 in winning the Group 2 Jersey Stakes in spectacular style.

The two-year-olds will be coming increasingly into their own hereafter, and it seems highly likely that Calyx will continue to be among the very best of them after he took the Coventry Stakes (G2) despite racing on his own in the latter stages.

Timeform has Calyx’s performance at 113, but have rated him 118 overall in recognition of how the race unfolded, a quite superb figure for a horse having just his second run.

in April as a companion to its one in December succeeded only after a fashion.

But there was no denying the quality of locally trained winners such as Ivictory in the Chairman’s Sprint Prize and the enigmatic Pakistan Star in the QEII Cup, both of whom put in 126 performances on Timeform.

There were several Group 1s in Japan in the period under review, but only two winners broke the 120 Timeform mark: Suave Richard (123 in the Osaka Hai at Hanshin) and Mozu Ascot (122 in the Yasuda Kinen at Tokyo).

Derbys can be found right round the world these days, but the original at Epsom remains a race like no other.

This year’s renewal went to

Masar, running to a rating of 125 (a fraction below the recent standard) and gaining revenge on fourth-placed Saxon Warrior, who had been two places ahead of him when winning the 2,000 Guineas at Newmarket with a 126 figure.

The British fillies’ Classics went to Billesdon Brook (116 in the 1,000 Guineas at Newmarket) and Forever Together (118 in The Oaks at Epsom), while the Irish 2,000 Guineas and 1,000 Guineas at The Curragh were won respectively by Romanised (122) and Alpha Centauri (116), who both came from off strong paces.

The French Classics produced solid, rather than spectacular, winners in Olmedo (117) Teppal (112), Study Of Man (118) and Laurens (115).

A

fter five years of significant growth the European two-year-old sales stalled in 2018.

The market is still a great deal bigger than it was five years ago as the combined aggregate has risen by 46 per cent in this period from £35 million to £51 million, while the combined average has gone from £50,000 in 2014 to £62,000 in 2018, up by 24 per cent.

However, it is not only the receipts which have grown.

The number of horses catalogued at the breeze up sales in England, France and Ireland has grown from 1,103 in 2014 to 1,375, up by 25 per cent. Conversely, the number listed as sold has increased from 702 to 823, up only 17 per cent.

The difference in the proportion of those catalogued who were not sold doesn’t appear to be huge – 36 per cent in 2014 to 40 per

breeze up review and all of whom had been through a costly preparation and who were now ready to start running up training bills.

This year came after an exceptional season in 2017 when only 31 per cent of those catalogued in the two-year-old sales were not sold, a total of 373 – 179 fewer than in 2018.

It is, of course, to be expected that if a type of sale is growing fast and vendors are making spectacular profits the growth and the profits will attract newcomers.

Sales companies always find it almost impossible to turn down potential turnover and so all of them accepted more two-yearolds to offer.

The numbers offered at the three Tattersalls sales at Ascot and Newmarket was up by 32 per cent between 2014 and 2018, and those offered by Arqana by a similar 29 per cent.

For the vendors what has always been a risky market has become ever more competitive with not only many more horses on offer, but higher quality horses too.

The two-year-old boom was set off by new buyers many of whom came from Qatar with David Redvers, Mandore International Agency, Peter and Ross Doyle all prominent buyers of two-year-olds in 2014 and 2015.

Al Shaqab purchased six of the eight highest priced two-year-olds at the last Arqana Breeze Up held in Saint-Cloud in 2015, while Redvers spent close to €3 million on two-year-olds in 2014. The better quality of two-year-olds on offer has also attracted new buyers to the European juvenile sales from Hong Kong and the US. It is not only the numbers and quality which have changed at the two-year-old sales, but it is also the type of horses the big buyers are looking for.

F

ive years ago there were still some potential middle-distance horses offered for sale as twoyear-olds and some vendors who sold consistently well without having horses who breezed particularly fast.

Now the horses who sell well are with few exceptions those who clock the best times.

At the major sales there are more than ten organisations timing the breezes electronically and within minutes of the end of the breezes all of the major buyers and most of those on the sales ground know which horses went fastest; many base their selection on this.

The major two-year-old vendors are of

course experienced professionals and their horses are well prepared and so at the select sales the differences in recorded times are marginal, often the 60 fastest two-year-olds will all complete the breeze in times within a range of only 0.3 second.

And yet a 0.3 second difference in the time a horse takes to run a furlong or 200 metres the day before the sale will have a huge effect on its value and the price it is likely to make.

The sales companies have resisted publishing official times preferring to keep out of any controversy on the subject.

It may be that the trend will be reversed by pressure of racecourse results in any case.

Lack of demand

The essential story of the 2018 European sales has been that the larger number of horses on offer has not been matched by new buyers (for probably a variety of reasons) and so many vendors failed to sell.

While this is true, the results were not the same for every vendor, nor for each of the eight sales included in these statistics.

All of the principal European sales are dominated by the same Irish-based vendors.

At the Tattersalls Craven Sale the leading English vendor in 2018 was Malcolm Bastard who ranked 12th among all vendors behind 11 Irish vendors.

The Scat Daddy Arqana top lot, also sold by Mockershill, fetched €825,000, purchased by Jamie McCalmont (below)

extraordinary one and the best two horses to come out of the 2017 European two-year-old sales at the time of writing were both sold by Bansha House.

The Group 1 Poule d’Essai des Pouliches winner Teppal was sold at the Arqana sale for €105,000 to Blandford Bloodstock and the dual Group 2 winner Sands Of Mali was sold for £75,000 to Stroud Coleman Bloodstock at the Tattersalls Ireland Ascot sale.

And yet although Bansha House’s breeze up sales were down, by the end of May, as an owner, Marnane had won 23 two-yearraces in France many of them with horses who had not been sold at the breeze up sales.

Mrs Thersea Marnane is currently the sixth leading owner in France.

Two of the better two-year-olds to have run in the Marnane colours are the More Than Ready colt Rolling King, not sold at 77,000gns at the Craven Sale, and the Noble Mission colt On A Session, not sold for

“There was no confidence in the market as this year’s two-year-old sales, and particularly in England where Brexit is not helping at all” At Arqana the top 12 vendors by aggregate were ten Irish-based and La Frenée, who offered three two-year-olds belonging to Muteb bin Abdullah of Saudi Arabia, and then Paul Basquin’s Haras de Sabouas.

Among the principal Irish vendors Con Marnane’s Bansha House Stables was in 2018 an exception selling only a fraction of the 53 two-year-olds it had catalogued in the sales and ending the sales season with 40 unsold horses.

The others Mocklershill, Tally Ho, Grove and Church Farm and Horse Park all sold more than 80 per cent of those they offered.

However, Marnane’s year has been an

£60,000 at Doncaster.

‘There was no confidence in the market at this year’s two-year-old sales,” believes Marnane, “and particularly in England were Brexit is not helping at all.

“I always stand over my horses, and tell people who are interested in them how it is, straight up.

“On A Session is a very good horse and he has now won the same two races as Different League did last year before going to win at Ascot, but at the Doncaster sale there was no interest in him at all.”

“My daughter Amy went to Keeneland and bought three horses, including these two,” he says.

At the end of the day breeze up sales are about breezing and Deauville in mid-May offers vendors the use of a flat racecourse in excellent condition

Arqana on the up

Whether or not the Brexit referendum and the subsequent confusion has been the decisive factor, it is obvious that the most significant trend at the European two-year-old in training sales has been the rise of Arqana’s sale, particularly since it was moved to Deauville in 2016.

Over the last five years in sterling the aggregate at the Arqana sale is up by 136 per cent and the average price by 80 per cent.

Arqana’s share of the overall market has grown from 20 per cent in 2014 to 30 per cent in 2018, and while the other French and Irish sales at Osarus and Goresbridge have maintained their share,

the English-based sales have lost 10 per cent of the market.

The referendum has played a role at the very least it changed the terms of trade with the subsequent fall in the value of sterling relative to every other major currency.

A weak currency is often an advantage for a bloodstock sale, but the breeze up sales may be different with so many fewer vendors

involved at the top level than at the yearling sales, and almost all of them coming from within the euro zone.

In the same period the quality of stallions in France has improved significantly, too.

Although nine of the top ten lots at the 2018 Arqana Breeze Up were not bred in France, overall French-bred horses have played a role in the sale’s progress.

In 2014, 18 two-year-olds made €100,000 or more at the Arqana sale, four of whom were by French sires.

This year 48 two-year-olds made more than €100,000 in Deauville – 19 of whom were by French sires.

In particular it is Siyouni, Wootton Bassett and Dabirsim who are producing the type of horses suited to breeze up sales.

But perhaps the most significant factor has been the move to Deauville. At the end of the day breeze up sales are about breezing and Deauville in mid-May offers vendors the use of a flat racecourse in excellent condition, which in itself gives the sale an advantage over its competitors.

The years when the Poules d’Essai were run in Deauville may have also given the sale a boost, but in 2018 the Classic races were back at ParisLongchamp and the day of the sale in Deauville was cold and wet, and yet the results were still positive.

The English two-year-old sales are likely to reduce their numbers for 2019, but there is no obvious reason why the positive trend at the French sale is going to be reversed any time soon.

equine care Researchers believe that training regimes could be optimised to minimise the risk of bone fracture

Training for optimal bone development “Understanding the bone’s response to exercise and over-stress is critical to preventing injuries and fatalities”

F

ractures of the distal limb in thoroughbred racehorses are commonly catastrophic. Most of these fractures occur due to the accumulation of fatigue damage from repetitive loading, as evidenced by microdamage at the predilection sites for fracture. Adaptation of the bone in response to training loads is important for fatigue resistance.

In order to better understand the mechanism of subchondral bone adaptation to its loading environment, veterinary researchers at the University of Melbourne have been examining the adaption of bone as an outcome. The Victorian State Government, Racing Victoria Ltd and the University of Melbourne provided a $5.25 million fund for the research.

The programme, run by the University of Melbourne Equine Centre in Werribee, is focused on developing best-practice strategies to prevent bone and joint injuries in racehorses. It involves a collaboration between veterinarians, biomechanical engineers and bone biology researchers.

Professor Chris Whitton, head of the

58

www.internationalthoroughbred.net

Equine Centre, said: “At the moment, bone injuries are regarded as an inevitable consequence of training, but this needn’t be the case.

“Understanding the bone’s response to exercise and over-stress is critical to preventing injuries and fatalities and ensuring the long-term sustainability of the industry.”

Bone development in training

Most trainers know that a horse’s skeleton needs to be adapted to high speed exercise in order to reduce the risk of limb injuries, but there is limited data on how long it takes for bone to adapt to changes in exercise intensity throughout a racehorse’s training programme.

The new research indicates that any horse rested from training for longer than a week has developed de-adapted bone and is at risk of injury from excessive high speed work; thus a return to high-speed training should be gradual.

Stress fractures, small cracks and focal injuries in the subchondral bone (‘bone

fatigue injuries’) are common at the base of the cannon bone of racehorses (see image opposite). They occur because of the accumulation of damage to the bone from repetitive high-intensity exercise.

During training the horse’s bone adapts to even short bursts of speed by laying down new bone to increase the total amount of bone (a process called modelling).

Damaged bone is also repaired by being removed and replaced by fresh new bone (remodelling). The modelling and remodelling process increases the bone’s resistance to injury.

Because it is time consuming, costly, and potentially unethical to assess the effect of different training loads on subchondral bone fatigue on racehorses, the team developed a mathematical model to better understand this complex process.

The model examined the effects of incremental changes in training load for untrained two-year-old racehorses, for trained racehorses who had been rested for at least four weeks, and for trained racehorses in training for more than four weeks.

The model showed that even with the

equine care most rapidly progressive training regime it takes about 16 weeks of training for complete adaption of bone to racing speeds for a young horse entering training for the first time.

In practice it will take longer because training speeds need to be built up slowly to avoid injury in a poorly adapted skeleton.

There are no shortcuts.

Complete adaptation may be less for racehorses previously in training.

Bone loss out of training

Conversely bone loss can be quite rapid when race training is interrupted. The model shows that even with relatively short rest periods of ten days there is the potential for a 10 per cent loss of bone in areas that undergo high loading when galloping.

This makes the bone considerably weaker and therefore prone to injury if high speed exercise is reintroduced too quickly.

Based on the model, the bone loss as a result of a 10-day rest will take 20 days to be replaced following the careful reintroduction of training. Intense speed work should be avoided during this period.

As the model is refined further the team will make variations of training intensity to better mirror actual racehorse training so that it can make more specific recommendations.

(a) bone unadapted to training; (b) bone adapted to training; (c) bone adapted to rest; (d) microcracks – these can accumulate and propagate into a stress fracture, and may progress to catastrophic fracture. The grey represents mineralised bone.

In the meantime, trainers need to be cautious in returning horses to work too rapidly if they have been rested from training for longer than a week.

Japanese researchers find genetic influences on thoroughbred body weight

B

ody weight is an important trait to confirm growth and development in horses and is measured at the postnatal, training, and racing stages to evaluate growth and training degrees. The body weight of a mature thoroughbred generally ranges from 400kg to 600kg, and this broad range is likely influenced by environmental and genetic factors.

In a recent study Japanese scientists identified four genes that appear to have direct consequences on body weight in the thoroughbred group they studied – 851 three-year-olds (619 colts or geldings and 232 fillies).

Although body weight is a highly complex trait and its genetic basis is not well elucidated in the thoroughbred, several genetic factors might contribute to differences among individuals.

Therefore, a genome-wide association study (GWAS) was designed and performed to identify the genomic regions associated with body weight.

Body weight is measured every time a horse runs in Japan by the Japan Racing Association (JRA), but it was decided to only use the body weights of three-year-olds because more phenotypic information was available compared with horses of other ages.

The genes – LCORL, ZFAT, TRIB2, and MSTN – are found, respectively, on Chromosomes 3, 9, 15, and 18. Combined, these genes accounted for 17 per cent of the body weight differences. When factored in with sex differences, they accounted for a full 30 per cent.

“When considering body weight in thoroughbreds, we’ve found up to four genes that appear to have a major impact,” said Teruaki Tozaki, PhD, of the Laboratory of Racing Chemistry Genetic Analysis Department, in Tochigi to thehorse.com.

“This is a smaller number of genes than that affecting body weight in humans,” he said, “but since thoroughbred horses are a domesticated breed subject to selective breeding within a single restrictive breed, it isn’t surprising that the number would be so low.”

It’s possible that other genes within the genome might contribute to body weight, but to a lesser extent, he added.

Researchers already knew that LCORL affects wither height, Tozaki said. So it seems logical it would also affect body weight.

However, Tozaki’s team found no contribution from two other genes known to impact wither height (HGMA2, on Chromosome 3, and LASP1, on Chromosome 11) on body weight in their study.

This new information is useful from a research perspective and could lead to more precise breeding for better performance, health, and welfare. It could even help scientists tailor medical care, feeding, and training to individual horses in the scope of “personalised medicine.”

“A genome-wide association study for body weight in Japanese Thoroughbred racehorses clarifies candidate regions on chromosomes 3, 9, 15, and 18,” was published in the Journal of Equine Science.

A

pregnant mare’s diet and nutritional status can affect her foal’s growth, but recent study results suggest the effects can be far more longterm than previously thought.

So long-term, in fact, they can even impact the foal’s future performance.

“The quality of the nutrition of both mares and foals is essential to optimise chances of athletic and reproductive performance in adulthood,” said Morgane Robles, PhD, of the French National Institute for Agricultural Research’s French Institute for Horses and Equitation, in Jouy-en-Josas.

Robles and her fellow researchers are continuing a two-year FOETALIM project that focuses on the short-term and long-term effects of gestational environment on a foal’s future. In this phase of the project, they explored two dietary impacts on 24 pregnant Anglo-Arab mares.

They fed half the mares forage only and the other half concentrated feeds and forage.

Because the hay quality and quantity given to the forage-only mares was not enough to meet their energy needs along with that of their foals, the forage-only mares lost body condition during the second half of pregnancy. However, they produced foals of normal birthweight and the nutrient deprivation’s effects on the foals didn’t appear until more than a year later.

“Undernourishment of mares in late gestation modified bone growth, which was detectable at 19 months of age,” said Robles.

“It also slowed testicular development, detectable at 12 months of age, suggesting a delay in puberty.”

The effects of those modifications on breeding and bone density are not yet known.

On the other hand, foals born to mares fed concentrated feeds had a higher osteochondrosis (one of the most common developmental orthopedic diseases in young horses) incidence at six months of age.

However, feeding concentrates in the late trimester allowed the mares to maintain their body condition compared to those fed hay only.

The researchers noted that by 24 months of age, there were no differences in osteochondrosis rates between the groups.

As a part of the study, the researchers also overfed grain to all yearlings between the ages of 20 and 24 months. This affected the carbohydrate metabolism of the foals whose dams had been on forage only and that could have negative consequences on their athletic ability.

“The overfeeding made them not only

60

Throughout gestation the mare needs plenty of high-quality forage, plus vitamin and mineral supplements.

Feed as little grain or concentrate as possible, ideally divided into several small meals per day

Feeding a broodmare has long-term implications... ...and can affect the future performance of her foal “Undernourishment of mares in late gestation modified bone growth, which was detectable at 19 months of age” fatter, but also more resistant to insulin, which can affect the muscles’ capacity to store glucose in its useful form of glycogen, the principal source of energy,” said Robles.

“Theoretically, the foals would tire more easily, but at the moment this is just our hypothesis; it remains to be proven.”

Based on their study, the FOETALIM researchers developed feeding and management recommendations.

• At breeding, aim to have the mare at a moderate body condition score of 3 to 3.5 on a 5-point scale, avoiding anything higher than 4.

• Feed the mare throughout gestation with plenty of high-quality forage, plus vitamin and mineral supplements. Feed as little grain or concentrate as possible, ideally divided into several small meals per day (at least more than two).

• Similarly, after weaning the foal, feed sufficient forage with vitamin and mineral supplements and as little hard feed as possible.

• If he or she needs grain or concentrates to meet caloric and protein needs, provide it in at least four meals per day to reduce sugar intake at one particular time.

• Additionally, aim for consistent growth and monitor growth rates regularly; avoid rapid growth spurts, as these could put foals at risk for developmental orthopedic diseases.

The FOETALIM project is ongoing and researchers will soon be investigating broodmare obesity’s effects on foals.

Revolutionary equine “head cam” will let us know just what a horse is thinking

W

e’ve all wished we could understand our horses better – the latest technology might just be able to help us do that.

A new wearable device allows scientists to take electroencephalogram (EEG) measurements from the brain of active, moving horses in real time. The system is opening a gateway into the way horses think and react, and has been developed by a French-based research team.

Electroencephalographs (EEGs) are diagnostic tools used to detect changes or dysfunction in brain activity. An EEG can help in the evaluation of disease, trauma, the effect of medication, even thought processes.

In humans, it’s easy enough to do. The electrodes that conduct information on the brain’s activity can be attached directly to our skin. Humans can also be instructed to stand still for the scan – this is critical as movement can interfere with the quality of the recordings.

With horses, it’s not so simple. Often, equine EEGs rely on invasive techniques requiring anesthesia, such as surgically implanted electrodes or needles placed under the skin. Non-invasive methods exist, but may require shaving the horse’s forehead to glue on electrodes and immobilizing the horse, typically in metal stocks.

French researchers led by Hugo Cousillas, who holds a doctorate in neuroscience and teaches at the University of Rennes, have devised a solution – a portable, adjustable EEG-recording headset for horses.

The headset places four electrodes on the horse’s forehead, plus one behind the left ear. It’s held in place by a harness of large rubber bands and incorporates an amplifier and recorder. Since it doesn’t need to be wired to any other device or outlets, it allows the horse to have total freedom of movement while being monitored. The researchers say it can be placed on a horse in less than five minutes and can be adjusted to fit different sized heads.

Horse wearing the new EEG mobile device

“We’re planning developments with veterinarians for medical applications as well, such as clinical evaluations following a head trauma, or detection of a cerebrovascular accident, or assistance during surgery, etc,” said Cousillas.

The researchers used an EEG amplifier to emit radio waves from the cap to an FM radio wave receiver. Wireless real-time data is streamed directly into a computer connected to the FM receiver for analysis.

The research team tested the device on five riding horses from the French national equitation school in Saumur. They recorded EEG readings on the horses for 15 minutes each once a day for two days. In this primary experiment, the horses stood standing quietly during this time.

The scientists compared their EEG data with behavioural observations from the video recordings of the EEG recording sessions and data to those obtained from previous EEG recordings of other horses using standard EEG equipment.

They found that their mobile system provided data consistent with data obtained for horses using a fixed system.

“We’re working with prototypes right now that we’re constantly improving, making them easier and easier to use,” he said. “We hope that in the future we can have a commercial version available for home use, as well.”

Feeding the

future

Polly Bonnor reveals that there is a whole lot to her role as Saracen’s thoroughbred specialist than just providing horse feed to stud farms and trainers

I

f any of us can think back to the career advice given at school – admittedly a little hit and miss for those of us educated in the 1980s (and if you were female usually involving aspirations of becoming a bank clerk or nurse), the one thing that was advised to do, and probably still is, try and make sure you end up in a job you enjoy.

Polly Bonnor, Thoroughbred Specialist and Director at Saracen Horse Feeds, is every career advisors’ dream – when chatting with her about her role she reveals a passion and a motivation for her work that would make many envious.

Bonnor is well-known in bloodstock circles for her attention to detail with the stock under her care, the superhuman logistical efforts she puts in to help her clients achieve

their goals, while being essentially on the road around Europe for much of the year. She is always at the sales to watch her clients’ horses sell – no matter how late in the evening – and tries to go racing as often as she can.

“I wanted to do something that hadn’t been done in quite the same way before,” surmises Bonnor, when explaining her initial decision to put herself under such an intensive regime to ensure 100 per cent care for her clients and horses.

“Working in this way, adopting a new

approach, keeps me interested and motivated.

I would have been bored if I’d just sold feed and had not known what had happened to the horses who were eating it or if I had not been involved with their progress. My clients understand that and know they can rely on very regular contact. Of course, different clients need different things, but I want to follow those horses all the way through their preparation and on to the racecourse, hopefully, into the winner’s enclosure.

“Just to know that I have played a tiny part

polly bonnor

so that a horse could perhaps go on and do something amazing, that is so rewarding.

“And now that I have been around for a certain length of time, I am watching stallions and mares who I knew as foals and their subsequent progeny going on to have serious success – it is super satisfying.

“With time, I have also started to really understand some of the special families I have worked with – to better appreciate their genetic potential and how we can best support their growth and development so that

the yearlings arrive at the sales looking the part, or at the races ready to rock and roll.”

Bonnor’s interest in horseracing was developed via her grandmother, a passionate racing fan and Leicestershire point-topointing enthusiast, but she kicked off her personal and working life with horses in the world of dressage. After leaving school, she headed to Europe for a year as a working pupil for Hans Riegler (former chief rider of the Spanish Riding School) in Vienna, but on her return to the UK, she realised that the

world of equine dance was not for her.

For seven years, she worked for a feed merchant based near Lambourn, selling feed and becoming, as might be expected due to the location, closely involved in racing. It was then that she started to fully appreciate the unique qualities of the thoroughbred against the European warmblood.

In 1995, the Kent-based company Saracen Horse Feeds, at the time mainly providing feed and fertiliser for agriculture but with an equine division, headhunted her to take

www.internationalthoroughbred.net

63

polly bonnor charge of their thoroughbred sector. It was probably the best decision ever made by the family-run business.

“The first few years working for Saracen were really interesting as it expanded my scope - I was working right across the whole country, not quite so regionally as before,” recalls Bonnor. “At the time, the company was not producing bespoke racing products and we were wholesaling for other feed companies.

“But, when the bottom fell out of the agricultural market, the company diversified and pushed hard into equine – and we were keen to have our own specialist products to sell too.”

In tandem with that strategic business change, Bonnor experienced a number of light bulb moments, which she has fully utilized to her and the company’s advantage, enabling it to move in less than a decade into a market-important position in the bloodstock nutrition sector.

And it was a trip to the US that “changed everything”.

“It all got much more interesting in October 1999 when I went to Lexington for a nutrition conference,” recalls Bonnor. “I met Lee Hall of Hallway Feeds and everything took an upward turn from that point. Lee was like the brother I never had – we clicked immediately. Hallway is a similar business to Saracen with very similar values – a family business that had been built up – but by that stage, Hallway had been feeding some of the best bloodstock in the US for the

“It all got completely interesting in October 1999 when I went to Lexington for a nutrition conference, I met Lee Hall of Hallway Feeds and everything took an upward turn from that point” last 30 years. They have fed 12 of the last 18 Kentucky Derby winners and can now put Justify next to American Pharaoh on their list of Triple Crown winners – it’s an incredible record and we are very proud of our connection.

“Lee had been looking for a way to ship feed to the Middle East more easily and shipping times from UK are half that of the US; conversely, I needed a credible and proven product that we could bring to the market.

“Very quickly, we effectively entered into a partnership agreement, a little like a franchise. Saracen manufactures the feed in the UK, and the formulations have been ‘anglicised’ in order to accommodate and complement the differing forage base here.

“The partnership meant that Saracen tapped straightaway into a proven product that we could shout about.

“Initially, the results I had to talk about for the first couple of years were from the US, but within less than a year of partnering with Hallway, we also teamed up with Kentucky Equine Research [KER] who were looking for a UK feed manufacturer that they could work with. We then had this unique alliance of likeminded companies able to provide nutritional solutions, meaningful research and practical support in the UK. “For us, working with such an established research facility immediately gave us more credibility. Suddenly, we had all their science and back-up to work with and it gave me new resources and a new level of commitment. It took us directly to all the research that KER was doing – previously we’d had to wait four or five years for significant research to filter through and, even then, you still had to make sense of it and make it accessible.

“All of a sudden, I had a direct line in – as soon as KER found something that worked, we had access to published data and that could be translated into a feed product, a new ingredient or a better source of a particular vitamin or mineral. This collaboration sets us apart.”

B

ut translating those partnerships, scientific availability and exciting new “toys” into commercial gain was not a given and Bonnor needed to “sell” her exciting new products; she needed respected clients to jump on board and trust her.

“Meon Valley Stud, Jamie Railton and Watership Down Stud were early clients who were open to ideas,” she explains.

“They realised that perhaps we could offer something different and essentially they took us down the stud and bloodstock route.

“It was in 2003 that all of the planets lined up – Hallway fed the sales toppers at Fasig, Saratoga and Keeneland, while Meon Valley Stud, feeding Saracen, produced a millionaire Tattersalls sales horse in Mona Lisa, who was the sales topper of the last Houghton Sale.

“We also fed the sales toppers of that year’s inaugural October Part 1 and Part 2 sales with Britton House Stud and Kingwood Stud.

“On the back of that we tucked an insert, essentially with testimonials from the clients in the UK and the US, into that December’s issue of the old Pacemaker magazine, and everything just took off from there – the

phone did not stop ringing. It was just extraordinary how it turned everything around.

“It gave us the breeding angle first – partly because of what had happened in sale rings with those yearlings, but breeders just appreciated all of the extra information we wanted to offer.

“I realised then that if we got our products right and put forward a full-service package of a successful feeding regime, personally delivered with the right science behind it, we could help our clients grow, develop and we’d become part of their business rather than just ‘supplying’ them.

“We obviously need to be commercial, but we also

polly bonnor Prepping yearlings for sale day

“When viewing yearlings, we have to try and picture them several months down the line, how they might develop physically.

“Now trainers and owners don’t want to have to wait and sale-day yearlings have got to look as though they are ready to have a saddle on their backs immediately – they need to look like the finished article, they have to be early.

“But to get to that stage we still have got to be easy on their young systems so that they are not getting overly stressed.

“I learnt a huge amount with those early clients – Meon Valley only sells homebreds, so we can influence those horses right from the word go and very easily set up a rising plain of nutrition, while back then, when Jamie Railton sold for outside clients, some of those horses could arrive pretty late on and the yearlings could be with him for only six to eight weeks sometime.

“We had to have them ready quickly, turn them around without pushing them too hard, without causing gastric or joint problems.

“Yearlings have got to have appropriate muscle and condition, but you can’t pile it on too fast, there are other issues that have to be avoided.

“So we figured out the best way to get them to look how they should, but still be careful and support them the whole way through.

“I use KER’s computer software called Grow-trac, which monitors height and weight as youngsters grow and develop and compares them with their peer groups.

“I can see how the yearlings are doing – if they are doing too well then we can moderate things, if not doing as well as needed, we have feeds with lower starch, lower levels of cereals and higher oil and fibre values so it is a bit ‘softer’ and more forgiving and we can move on quietly, but a little faster.

“The sales are very competitive now, but I want to make sure my clients compete at the highest level in their division with their pedigrees – if they can be successful there, then they are able to upgrade their pedigrees and move forward.

“I am so proud of them all.”

want to be informative. We want to add more value to it – it is not a case of delivering the feed and walking away – anyway if I’d had only worked like that, I’d have been bored senseless.”

Now Bonnor is anything but bored as she puts 50,000 miles onto her car every year travelling the length and breadth of the UK, while also regularly commuting to France to visit trainers, stud farms and consignors of all size and type.

S

he tries to see her clients’ horses as regularly as possible, offering a fresh eye to spot changes that those on the ground and with the stock every day might not see during the vitally important process of producing yearlings for deadline sales days and racehorses through busy seasonal campaigns.

“I noticed that no one was really paying enough attention to the yearling prep side from a nutrition angle. I guess the turning point was when a client told me that he needed to make a significant seven-figure sum every year from his yearling sales in order for everything to be bought and paid for on the farm and so that he could plan the stallion nominations that he wanted.

“I just thought ‘wow!’ and I could see that we could really become an integral part of someone’s business and that could make a difference.

“It really started to roll as people who had seen our early sale success came to me and said, ‘come and help us do our yearling prep’.

They were prepared to give us that project initially, but then, for most clients, things usually worked up to Saracen becoming involved in the full cycle with the mares.”

It is probably where Bonnor gains most satisfaction – doing the right thing by the horse, being involved in the whole development from conception to race day, trying to ensure that nutritionally she is giving every horse every advantage to reach its genetic potential both in the sales ring and on the racecourse, while helping her clients achieve commercially and economically.

“Yearling prep is such an exciting time when you see the horses grow, change, muscle up, come together and start to look like a racehorse. It is genuinely fascinating.

“I try and offer a fresh pair of eyes – I appreciate that I am looking at 100s or probably 1000s of yearlings and can offer an opinion or a suggestion.

“I am also able to have a rough idea as to

what a certain yearling should look like – especially one by a stallion whose progeny I see a lot of.

“If there is a type that I would typically expect to see by that sire then we will feed to try and get more of that to naturally come out – after all that is what buyers want to see, a stallion who stamps his stock. I appreciate what buyers expect “So, if a sire gets precocious two-year-olds, we will try and help that yearling to look like a powerhouse two-year-old.”

Bonnor, through her own unstated expertise and attention to detail, perhaps a little unwittingly created her unique role.

“People started saying ‘can you come back in a month to take another look?’ And it all just made sense as it means that I go back to reassess, take a view on progress and tweak the nutrition, if necessary.

“I am able to say ‘slow down, you are going to be ready too soon, they will be on the boil for too long’ or ‘be careful with the fillies, we need to move on a little faster with them now,

polly bonnor “If there is a type that I would typically expect to see by that sire then we will feed to try and get more of that naturally to come out – after all that is what buyers want to see, a stallion who stamps his stock” the colts are getting too far ahead’ – a draft needs to be uniform, my clients have got to prepare and present the whole draft so they look ‘together’; it is a hard thing to do.

“I am able to advise on how we need to feed to get to the point we need to at the appropriate speed for each horse – halfway through prep I can give a good gauge of where the draft is at.”

Neither does Bonnor abandon her mission when the sale day comes around. She will get to the sales early or the weekend before, ensure that her charges are eating up, coping nutritionally with what can be a traumatic

time for a young racehorse who may be leaving the home farm for the first time.

“I am constantly thinking how I can help that horse so we don’t push it over the edge if it is a busy, active sort, or how we can support another if it is a relaxed type so that they can show better – bring out that sparkle without going over the top,” she explains. “We just want to get the right response from the horse.

“If it all works out and the horse sells well, I go straight from the ring to say, ‘Well done!’

- I step back, take a moment and get a warm glow knowing that we played a small part in the success.”

“We expect a lot from the thoroughbred – they are very forgiving creatures and that’s why we can ask such a lot of them, but it’s such a fine balance.

“We have got to be able moderate things so they can handle it and not over-face them – we need to ensure that we don’t stress them so much that we put them off their jobs.

“Some are certainly more sensitive genetically – so for them we’ve got to hold them and look after them. Help them to cope if they are a bit ‘hot’.

“But, if you don’t get dietary energy in, then you will not get a predictable performance from that horse. You just have to be a little shrewder about how to give them the correct amount of energy and choose from a variety of sources that are not going to stress them physically or mentally.

“Feed will work harder if it has a platform of good quality forage to start from.”

Changing seasons

“We have always been battling against the quirks of the thoroughbred calendar, but now the seasons seemingly are against us, too.

“We have to react to what is in front of us.

We have got to deal with the environment; I need to be out with the horses to understand what is going on.

“Last year, the grass did not come early because it was so dry; this year with such a long endlessly cold and grey winter the grass was late again. It means that we have had to continue to help the horses out with higher feed intakes for longer. We jumped straight from winter into summer temperatures and it’s confusing for people, animals and plants.

“Sometimes now the grass is growing right through to November and there is actually still goodness in it; it is not what you’d expect at all.

“Our seasons are throwing out usual plans; we need to recognise that and adapt our routines.

“People need to keep assessing the horses, look at the grass, look at the conditions. If we are walking around in shirt sleeves in early November, or in heavy coats in late May, that will tell you a lot about what the horses are facing.”

“I suppose what I need to do is build a bigger team behind me coming through.

“Clare Roberts has been with us for six years now, and Daniela Nowara is getting properly started in Europe. There are good opportunities there. Sven and Carina Hanson (breeders of Pride and Reliable Man) brought me over to France back in 2008, and then Anna Sundström and her parents, Maja and Jan (breeders of Le Havre), became clients not long after that and it has progressed by word of mouth from there.

“I am not necessarily looking for people with serious nutrition qualifications, but for someone practical who has been in the industry, understands it and knows the people involved. Someone who can be ready to learn and get a different sense of satisfaction from a new angle.

“This is a great life – we are so lucky with the quality of horses we get to work with; I don’t ever under-estimate that.

“I want young people to understand this is a great industry to be involved in, it keeps the brain ticking and keeps you curious; with new life going on around us, year on year, and new possibilities.

“Of course, there is a lot of rushing around through sales prep, but people in the racing world are a lot of fun and there is such a sense of shared experience and shared satisfaction from dealing with these magnificent creatures. That’s special. You can’t help but be enthused by it.”

Career highlights

Since 2003, Saracen has been involved with six Oaks winners and four Derby winners, alongside 1,000’s of international Group and black-type winners.

The company fed the sales topper of the last Tattersalls Houghton Sale, a further six Book 1 top-priced horses, and 18 “millionaire” October sales yearlings (six from Meon Valley).

Nine times Bonnor has worked with the leading consignor of Book 1, and six times with the leading consignor of Book 2.

“Trainers and breeders have to channel their energy to turn a horse into what he should become, but if there is a little bit of clever nutrition that can be well managed, then we are going to try” The level-headed business lady does not just revel in the glory days; if things have not gone quite to plan then she will be there for her client too.

“If it hasn’t worked as hoped, then I go around and might give them a handshake or a hug, I totally understand how important certain sales can be. I can’t walk away, just leave and only be there for the good times; we go and commiserate with them if we need to.

“If people have put faith in me as an advisor, I should be there for them, whatever the circumstances – and that goes for the sales and for the races.”

O

bviously, Bonnor is a huge advocate of the role that nutrition plays in the development of the thoroughbred, but she knows that it is just one part in the mythical wonder that is involved in turning a raw equine into a competitive athlete.

“Of course, genetics will out every single time and we can’t turn a goose into a swan,” she smiles, adding, “but there is a certain amount we can manipulate with nutrition.

Trainers and breeders have to channel their energy to turn a horse into what he should become, but if there is a little bit of clever nutrition that can be well managed, then we are going to try.

“Genetics, the vets and farriers – they all play a huge part, but if I can stand on the sidelines as another part of the team, that is good enough for me.”

The 20-odd years Bonnor has spent advising stud managers and racehorse trainers on just the right products to feed their stock at the right moment continues to be supported through her cross-channel connections and via practical on-the-job experience.

Bonnor, who became a director at Saracen in 2010 (and was subsequently offered a more office-based management role, which she turned down), has ensured the crossAtlantic partnership with Hallway and KER has endured and flourished. She still has a

24/7 call on those enquiring minds and their science, finding it “super inspiring” and a continual “learning curve”, benefiting directly from the greater levels of research funding available in the US. Her frequent visits to her own clients means that she now finds her role also encompasses unofficial recruitment agent, agony aunt, hand holder, family member, confidant, and a fresh face and voice when perhaps outside human interaction has been limited through a busy spring foaling season.

For Bonnor, as for busy jockeys doing approximately the same mileage, while the travelling experience is getting ever more difficult, the final destination makes it all worthwhile.

“The travelling can be pretty dull,” she admits, “especially as the British roads are now really frustrating. I just have to be that bit cuter about making my travel plans these days.

“But people are expecting me, and if I have had a bad journey, or even had to get up at 4am, as soon as I get there and the clients and their staff are pleased to see me, ready to show me their horses, then the rest is soon forgotten. Walking paddocks, getting out onto the gallops or into the yards means that I am very well compensated.”

Bonnor does not take her involvement for granted and understands that while big prices in the sales ring are one thing, results on the racecourse are the final arbiter.

“I have been extremely fortunate to have the quality of bloodstock to work with and to feel inspired by – the horses, their ongoing families, and the people in this remarkable business will always keep it interesting. It is a privileged position to be in, and a constant source of fascination for me because with horses, you never stop learning.

“We always have to remember the main plan though – that breeders want to breed a proper racehorse, a sound athlete, capable of winning races hopefully at the highest level, and trainers want the opportunity to train that good horse and find the key to them – that’s what it’s all about. A top price in the ring is fantastic and exciting, but they’ve got to go on and be successful on the racecourse.”

LED lighting The use of LED lighting and controlled lighting systems has long been in use in the aquatic sector and West has worked extensively with sharks finding that behaviour and response was much improved under blue light

Paul West of Biolumen Lighting explains the reasoning and benefits regarding the use of LED blue lighting for all stabled or housed animals, with particular relevance to horses and the management of broodmares and two-year-olds in training What is your background? How come you have concentrated on animal lighting systems?

I am one of several experienced biologists working in the Biolumen team. Four years ago our parent company Tropical Marine Centre began researching the wider application of controlled lighting regimes outside the aquatic sector in which we have been a leading manufacturer and supplier of lighting for over 10 years.

Our business has already built a strong reputation for our lighting products in aquaculture and other commercial applications such as public aquariums and research institutes so moving into other areas of animal production and husbandry within the mainstream agricultural sector, including pig and poultry farming, seemed a natural progression for the business.

More recently we have been researching opportunities in the UK horseracing industry to improve stable and transport lighting regimes to take account of the new lighting technologies available, specifically control integrated and customisable LED lighting systems.

What is the background to Biolumen?

What does the company do?

What is its scope?

Biolumen is a term coined to express a light output which is biologically relevant and optimised to the animal under consideration, taking into account the spectral specificity of its light receptors, which in most cases but not exclusively, is its eyes and the operational husbandry requirements of the relevant industry sector.

aim of improving of animal welfare, while offering more accurate control of breeding cycles and in the case of agriculture and aquaculture more efficient production of high quality meat products.

From sharks to pigs to horses... it is quite a jump!

Yes it is, but the evolution of our visual receptors and the way all animals perceive their environment has their beginnings in the primordial oceans where light is highly filtered as it travels through the water until only short wave blue light remains.

This influenced the spectral quality of the light to which all animals entrained their most basic biological functions by way of their internal clock – essentially the rise and fall of the hormone Melatonin released in the pineal gland in a direct and inverse relationship to the level of light reaching the eye.

Almost every living organism from diatoms to sharks to horses to humans relies on the same basic internal biological clock entrained to the daily “circadian� cycle of night and day, to regulate its activity and feeding patterns and most importantly its breeding behaviour and seasons of fertility.

Research has now shown that the functioning of this biological clock in all studied animals is entirely dependent on an innate sensitivity to a very narrow band of short wave blue light which mediates the suppression of Melatonin release in the pineal during the day, and whose presence and influence diminishes as dusk falls leading to nightly rise of Melatonin.

How is the colour spectrum made up?

The light we see as white natural daylight is actually made up of a broad spectrum of wavelengths ranging from short wave blue light, through medium wave green short ultra-

The progressive absorption of longer wavelengths with depth gives the ocean its blue colour and its evolutionary significance, and the sky gives similar spectral cues on land as it does underwater In the last two decades science has shown that blue wavelengths have the power to reset the biological clocks in all vertebrates, with greater efficiency than any other wavelength

LED lighting and retained the ability to see in full colour, while primates re-acquired colour vision later.

What is the history of LED lighting?

The evolutionary tree: all mammals orginated from the oceans. An evolutionary “bottleneck” is postulated when dinosaurs ruled the earth. Early mammals were forced into a nocturnal mode of life and lost the ability for full colour vision. Birds and most fishes escaped this pressure and remained largely daytime feeders with the full range of retinal pigments seen in modern species After the disappearance of dinosaurs most mammals reverted to a diurnal daytime living pattern and re-acquired dichromic colour vision, but only primates and some squirrels developed full colour trichromic vision violet light at the blue end and long infra-red light at the red end, which we perceive as heat energy rather than visual energy.

So how do horses see? How does that compare to ourselves or other species?

When the dinosaurs ruled the world, most of the smaller warm-blooded animals, the progenitors of modern mammals, retreated

into the denser and darker vegetation for protection.

Through adaptation to a safer, more nocturnal mode of life, most mammals lost the ability to see full colour and eventually their visual receptors became evolved and adapted to the more narrow spectral range filtering through the forest canopy, covering just blue and green wavelengths.

Only fish and birds escaped this pressure

The incandescent light bulb widely used in the 20th century was very inefficient, producing lots of heat and relatively little biologically relevant blue light.

The introduction of fluorescent lights improved energy efficiencies considerably and has since dominated the lighting of farmed and domesticated animal enclosures.

LEDs have been around since the 1990s, but only really began to come into their own in the last 10 years as the quality, reliability and efficiency of emitters improved as they became incorporated in everyday items such as TVs and cars.

They can now produce up to three times more light per watt than fluorescents and have become the technology of choice in most domestic and commercial applications.

All LEDs are based on a blue emitter and which makes them a powerful tool in managing biological clocks.

Why are “old-fashioned” lighting systems not considered ideal anymore for animal and equine management?

LED lighting advantages for the animal and equine management.

Lighting is infinitely controllable, allowing programming of specific lighting cycles with dimming up and dimming down to emulate natural light regimes. Higher efficiencies mean less wasted energy in heat and the ability to operate at sub-zero temperatures.

Most farmers and stockmen will understand how unreliable fluorescent lights are in cold temperatures with the characteristic flickering and this lighting still flickers at a frequency detected by many animals and can cause stress.

LEDs operate at much higher frequencies undetectable by the eye. The higher proportion of blue and green wavelengths emitted by LEDS makes more of the light available to the animal’s visual receptors and improves acuity under the lower light conditions in artificially lit enclosures like barns and stables.

Finally, LED lighting emits more light to which the internal biological clocks of animals are tuned, especially in respect of control of daily behaviour and seasonal breeding cycles.

Overall this means that LED lighting systems can offer significant reduction in energy costs to provide more light that the animal can use compared to traditional lighting systems.

herbivore that lives in open country where there is a clear and distinct horizon between the sky and land. The horse has almost 360 degree monocular vision, critical for early detection of movement on its horizon, but only about 60 degrees of binocular front vison, which it manages by moving its head for acquiring detail of objects close in front.

Unlike many ungulates, horses seem to have largely lost their diurnal feeding and activity behaviour pattern and instead these bouts of activity are dispersed evenly throughout the day and night.

Their eyes are anatomically well adapted for improved night vision, but during the day they can still only distinguish shades of green and blue and colours outside this spectral range will appear as a shade of grey.

Many traditional artificial lighting systems in stables will not supply sufficient light in the correct spectral range to maximise the horse’s visual acuity or provide the right cues for its internal biological clock to adequately sync its breeding cycles.

LED lighting How does manipulating lighting benefit the horse / mare?

Horses are long day animals. They require lengthening daylengths to trigger their breeding cycles and this can be manipulated by implementing an artificial lighting regime that simulates and accelerates the transition from short days to long days and bring about early ovarian development and receptivity to breeding.

This is so important in the northern hemisphere for producing early yearlings and precocious two-year-old racehorses.

Annual earnings are significantly higher for horses born in January-February than than those born in April-June. The response to lengthening day length is due to the lifting of the inhibitory action of melatonin on the mare’s reproductive axis leading to release by the anterior pituitary of sex hormones, including FSH and LH. The inhibitory effect of light on melatonin is only mediated via a narrow band of blue wavelength light, which can be almost absent from some traditional lighting systems such as sodium lighting and aged and poorly maintained fluorescent lighting.

It is, however, the dominant wavelength present in all LED-based lighting systems.

What results have you seen from LED / lighting manipulation in the wider animal management and agricultural systems you have worked with?

By far the biggest impact of using LED lighting on housed animals appears to be one of welfare.

Animals are visibly calmer and less aggressive under “tuned” LED lighting . This can be almost entirely attributed to the higher amount of light emitted by selected LEDs in the spectral range (blue/green), which is visible by Dichromatic (colour-blind) animals.

LED blue lighting improves animals’ visual acuity under artificial light, allowing them to detect more detail and pick up more visual cues from their surroundings, including people working with them.

The quicker an animal can assimilate information about what is going on around it, the quicker the animal can respond to positive as well as negative stimuli.

It is important that modern animal lighting systems take advantage of current technology to provide a visually rich environment that is tuned to the animal’s needs and where changes from day to night and vicaversa are gradual and more like the natural transitions experienced in outdoor living.

LED blue lighting improves animals’ visual acuity under artificial light, allowing them to detect more detail and pick up more visual cues from their surroundings, including people working with them What commercial implications does this have in the equine field?

There are important commercial outcomes for improving lighting regimes in equine management.

Significant benefits when stabling and conditioning horses indoors can be achieved if due consideration is given to providing a controlled and spectrally tuned lighting environment when not outdoors.

Improved coat conditioning, more control of breeding cycles, shorter length of gestation and even increased foal weights are all benefits reported by providing lighting regimes based on LEDs. It is interesting that coat shedding is now

considered to be almost entirely controlled by manipulation of daylength rather than mediated by temperature, but will be sensitive to the spectral quality of the light as much as the quantity of light as it is ultimately controlled by the internal biological clock.

You have some editorial on the use of light in the transport of horses and mention that horses do not get jet lag?

Potential impact of light control in transporting horses long distances both in horse boxes and by air is an interesting topic.

It would seem horses do not suffer jet-lag as their endogenous cycle of melatonin seems to be entirely mediated by external lighting regime and independent of other otherwise persistent internal circadian rhythms, which include body temperature and activity cycles.

This is confirmed by continued melatonin release in darkness over periods substantially longer than 24 hours, unlike other ungulates that have been studied.

Effectively this means a horse’s melatonin secretion is immediately reset by exposure or absence of light. This might imply that light, more than any other environmental factor, is of importance to the physiology of a horse.

Although apparently unusually delinked from the usual cortisol release cycle it may be that controlled lighting regimes may benefit entrainment and accentuation of cortisol secretion to enhance performance immediately post-transport.

science of nutrigenetics

Feeding at cellular level The new science of nutrigenetics is taking equine nutrition right to the start

W

ithin the highly competitive environments of racing and breeding, trainers, breeders and owners are perpetually searching for small marginal gains to improve the health and performance of their horses.

Some of the methods practiced in achieving these gains are particular to each individual and have been shaped for centuries by passing on traditional knowledge of horsemanship to the next successive generation of trainers and breeders.

The approach taken by Irish-based equine science company Plusvital is helping clients to better understand their horses’ health and performance and offers scientific evidence that can be judiciously applied to decision making in breeding and training to augment traditional methods.

Plusvital was originally formed in 1975, growing out of Ireland’s world-famous racing and sport horse tradition and began by manufacturing equine supplements, including the iconic Plusvital Racing Syrup.

The company has continued to expand its supplementation range, whilst maintaining a strong focus on producing quality products backed by scientific research.

In 2015, Plusvital acquired Equinome, a world leader in the research and development of state-of-the-art genomic tools for the thoroughbred industry.

In the merger, the intention and future path for Plusvital was laid clear, with Equinome’s founder and new Plusvital CSO Professor Emmeline Hill promising:“The merger of Plusvital and Equinome represents

a transformative step forward in the development of a world-leading equine sciences company that will deliver ground-breaking new services in equine performance and health management, including the exciting emerging field of nutrigenomics.”

Fast forward three years later and Plusvital, powered by Equinome’s cutting-edge genomic tools, appear to be firmly keeping that promise.

The speed gene

The wide-spread availability of genetic testing for the thoroughbred only really began with the launch of the Speed Gene Test by Equinome in 2010.

The test examines changes in the DNA within the myostatin gene, which is responsible for muscle development and muscle fibre type, and has been scientifically demonstrated by multiple research groups to have an almost singular, major influence on the distance aptitude of thoroughbreds for racing.

In simple terms, the Speed Gene Test is designed to predict optimum race distance and precocity potential with over 95 per cent accuracy by categorising horses as one of three genetic types: C:C (suited to sprint exercise), C:T (suited to exercise requiring speed and stamina) and T:T (suited to exercise requiring stamina).

The implications of the benefit that this information can provide to trainers, owners and breeders is clear with the possibility to incorporate impartial, scientifically-backed information into breeding and racing decisions.

Perhaps the most high-profile example of the use of Plusvital’s genetic information to date was the decision to withdraw Galileo Gold from the 2016 Derby following confirmation that he tested as a C:C sprint type.

While this decision garnered widespread media attention, genetic testing for racing traits has been employed by Plusvital’s clients, including leading trainers, owners

science of nutrigenetics and breeders in all of the major thoroughbred regions around the world for the last eight years.

The team at Plusvital is keen to stress that shedding light on a horse’s genetic capabilities solves only part of the puzzle and does not constitute a complete solution.

As Plusvital CEO Mike Shelly says: “We never recommend using genetics alone to make key decisions, however genetic information can be used in conjunction with traditional selection and training methods to improve decision-making. It is estimated that genetics is responsible for up to 40 per cent of a horse’s racetrack success, so while it is important, it never will be the only factor.”

When asked to compare pedigree analysis with genetic testing, he continued: “Pedigree and genetics are attempting to identify the same thing.

“When someone evaluates a pedigree, they are trying to determine the various important traits that the horse has potentially inherited from its ancestors; we are essentially doing the same thing, but we can evaluate the exact DNA make up a horse, rather than the inferred genetic make-up that is assumed from pedigree.

“Pedigrees can offer a wealth of information about a horse; however there are plenty of occasions where pedigree can be misleading and this is where genetics can

Genetics can be used to optimise a horse’s opportunities, not only in breeding, but also in racing unlock some of the mystery. Genetics can be used to optimise a horse’s opportunities, not only in breeding, but also in racing.”

Taking the speed forwards

In addition to the Speed Gene Test, Plusvital offers a range of racing performance-related tests that have been developed based on analysing the many differences in each horse’s DNA that makes that individual horse unique.

For example, building on results from the Speed Gene Test, the more advanced “Distance Plus Test” refines a horse’s optimum distance range to within a couple of furlongs, while Plusvital’s “Elite Performance Test” examines the wide range of traits that contribute toward a horse being an elite racehorse and provides the genetic

probability of that horse achieving elite racecourse and breeding success.

With well over 15,000 horses tested to-date, providing a basis for their research and development, Plusvital certainly have a solid foundation on which to base their predictions.

Despite the great importance of client confidentiality involved in such testing, a number of high-profile members of both the racing and breeding industries have openly supported the use of Plusvital’s genetic tests, such as Group 1-winning Australian trainer Danny O’Brien and multiple Group 1 winning Irish trainer and breeder Jim Bolger.

Bolger himself has commented: “Anyone breeding horses who doesn’t know the genetic

science of nutrigenetics make-up of their mares is throwing caution to the wind”.

Things have also become a lot more affordable and the previously restrictive price-tag associated with conducting this sort of genetic testing is also a thing of the past, with prices now starting a just £260 for an entry level test.

“Forty years ago when Plusvital was beginning its story, equine supplementation was seen as an innovative and novel idea and unlikely to catch on, but it is now nearly ubiquitous in most racing yards across the globe. It is our strong belief the genetic testing will follow a similar trajectory in terms of industry-wide adoption,” says Shelly.

Nutrigenomics: what are they?

So where do Plusvital’s studies into the more established nutrition and supplementation fields tie into their ground-breaking genomic research?

In a significant development for both the company and the wider equine nutrition industry, Plusvital announced last December

“Anyone breeding horses who doesn’t know the genetic make-up of their mares is throwing caution to the wind” the launch of EnerGene-Q10, the world’s first nutrigenomic supplement for horses, that contains the compound Co-enzyme Q10 (CoQ10).

The innovative field of nutrigenomics combines the studies of nutrition and genomics to investigate a horse’s nutritional requirements based on their genetic make-up.

This follows the increasingly common view

that a “one size fits all” nutritional approach may not yield the best outcome and that each horse often has a slightly different nutrient requirement regardless of similarities between breed, training regime, age etc.

Based on research published in conjunction with scientists at University College Dublin and Trinity College Dublin, Plusvital has shown that the genetic background of a horse has a significant influence on the production of CoQ10 in horse muscle cells.

CoQ10 is a key nutrient required for the generation of energy in the mitochondria of the muscle that is particularly important for sustained exercise.

Increased levels of CoQ10 may result in more efficient energy production, delayed onset of fatigue during exercise, an improved response to exercise training and enhanced recovery following intense exercise.

The research revealed that thoroughbred horses who are T:T (suited to exercise requiring stamina) genetic types, as identified by the Plusvital Speed Gene Test, produced significantly lower cellular levels of CoQ10

science of nutrigenetics than the other (C:C and C:T) genetic types, but that these levels can be restored with supplementation.

In follow-up field trials, the scientists found that CoQ10 concentration in the muscle increased by 40 per cent following nine weeks of oral supplementation.

Speaking at the launch of this supplement, lead author on the scientific paper and Plusvital’s CSO Professor Hill said:“We’re delighted to launch the world’s first supplement based on published research that links a horse’s day-to-day nutritional requirements with their individual genetic profile.

“By using the Speed Gene Test horses who will most benefit from supplementation with EnerGene-Q10 can be identified. By offering tailored supplementation we’re adding real value for our customers.”

Future developments

Going forward, Shelly’s vision for Plusvital is to be the leading global equine science company, continuing the company’s innovative approach to product development.

By using the Speed Gene Test horses who will most benefit from supplementation with EnerGene-Q10 can be identified “Research and equine welfare are at the core of everything that we do. We’re constantly seeking to bring products and services to the market that are based on good science to empower the performance of our clients and their horses,” he said.

An on-going multi-million euro genomic and nutrition research program based at Plusvital’s headquarters in Dublin, with links to universities such as University College Dublin and Trinity College Dublin, along with a strong team of scientists and equine

industry experts seems like a solid platform for growth.

Unsurprisingly, Shelly is optimistic about future developments. “Our main focus in the immediate future will be the development of genetic tests identifying predisposition to certain health traits, but we will also be looking at further developing our nutrigenomic supplement range and reviewing how to provide the most value and utility to our customers,” he reports.

Combine all this with a supplement distribution network covering over 40 countries worldwide, as well as dedicated sales representatives in the UK, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand and the USA and the future looks exciting for a company that is continuously looking for the vital edge in equine health and performance.

grayson jockey-club foundation

Racing ahead with science Daniel Ross talks to Ed Bowen of the US-based Grayson-Jockey Club Research Foundation which funds equine research in the US

T

he year was 1989, and Ed Bowen was handed a coin and a task. At the time, Bowen was editor of The Blood Horse magazine, and he was asked to help name a new partnership between the Grayson Foundation – an organisation that for nearly 50 years had

channelled funds towards equine research projects – and the Jockey Club’s much newer research foundation.

At stake was who would receive first billing on the hyphenated-partnership. Bowen’s tossed coin landed on the side of the Grayson Foundation, and thus was born the GraysonJockey Club Research Foundation.

“I just flipped the coin, but I like thinking back on how I played a small part even before I came on board,” says Bowen, now president of the foundation.

“I thought the merger was very smart, and I remember writing an editorial about what a good idea it was.”

Now 30 years later, Bowen’s glowing

Research awards granted by the Foundation in 2018 For 2018, the Grayson-Jockey Club Research Foundation’s directors have announced 18 research projects funded for a total of $1,239,083.

The list includes 11 new projects and seven continuing proposals, as well as two Research Career Development Awards.

Since 1983 the foundation’s has granted over $26.3 million to fund 358 projects at 43 universities.

grayson jockey-club foundation editorial has weathered well. The foundation currently doles out around $1.4 million in research funds annually, and it has supported 358 different projects at 43 universities since 1983, covering topics as varied as laminitis, respiratory problems, infectious diseases, and the risk factors behind catastrophic injuries.

“The Grayson Foundation really has been a great asset to this industry,” says Hall of Fame trainer Richard Mandella. The hard science it funds, he adds, has for years underpinned or helped evolve traditional approaches to horsemanship and training.

“That’s why, whenever you bring the name up in the industry, it’s met with high respect.”

Other reasons underpin the need for such an organisation in horseracing. As the foundation has grown, public funding for all university research – not just equinerelated studies – has steadily dwindled, while government agencies such as the National Institutes of Health seldom award grants to studies involving horses.

“All this gives us a sense of the heightened pressure on us to come through for the horse

because there are fewer dollars outside of us being made available,” says Bowen.

So, how does the foundation decide who gets what each year?

When each batch of applications – there can be as many as 60 submissions annually – have gone through a preliminary review process, a 32-strong advisory committee comprising research scientists and practicing veterinarians meet every January in Fort Worth, Texas.

The committee rates the applications numerically according to a variety of factors, including how rigorous is their scientific approach, the overall impression of the project, potential impact, and budgeting.

After a hearty meal Saturday evening, the committee reconvenes on the Sunday for another round of thumb wavering.

This is when the applications, already ranked on a scale from best to worst, are compared to their neighbouring proposals on the scale, and moved up or down accordingly if deemed better or not.

grayson jockey-club foundation big picture and say, ‘is number one really better than number two?’” explains Bowen.

With the year’s strongest proposals whittled down, the committee presents the list to the board of directors.

“We’re cognizant of how much the board has to spend each year, and so, we don’t give them a list of 50 when we know they’re going to cut off at 10,” reasons Bowen, who adds that the foundation typically funds between 10-15 different projects each year, who each receive on average $100,000.

In 1999, when the advisory committee was consolidated from a cluster of much smaller groups into one totaling 32, there was concern among some that too many cooks would spoil the committee’s broth – the group would just become too large and unwieldy to operate efficiently.

As a bulwark against potential ethical and political headaches, members are restricted to a four-year term limit, while anybody directly involved in one of the proposals is asked to recuse themselves from the evaluation process so as to avoid conflict of interest charges.

And in the end, Bowens says: “It has worked out beautifully. We have never had anybody go through their four years and not say they’d be pleased to come back and serve again.”

As to the foundation’s funding, the coffers funnel in from a variety of different quarters.

Admiral Grayson

82

www.internationalthoroughbred.net

Private donors make up the bulk of the yearly generated revenue and a quick flick through this list reveals a who’s-who of prominent owners, farms, racetracks and industry organisations.

Jockeys can also arrange to “check-off” a small slice of their riding fees towards the foundation.

Those who gift more than $10,000 in one year are included in the exclusive Rokeby Circle, named after one of the foundation’s staunchest supporters, the former ownerbreeder Paul Mellon, who operated Rokeby Stables.

Origins of the Grayson Foundation Admiral Grayson was the personal physician to President Woodrow Wilson and chairman of the Red Cross.

He was also a racing man and his best horses included My Own, winner of the Saratoga Cup, Saratoga Handicap and Maryland Handicap.

Grayson died in 1938, but he had been involed in the formulative plans which led eventually to the establishment of the equine research foundation named for him.

He was president of an organisation called the Gorgas Foundation, and he had asked its director Dr Herbert Clark to help advise the American Thoroughbred Breeders Association (“ATBA”).

In the late 1930s the association was exploring various ways to address the promotion of research for horses.

By 1939, a plan was formulated whereby the ATBA would launch a campaign to raise $100,000 and, once that amount had been pledged, the Grayson Foundation would become a reality.

The Jockey Club, under direction of its chairman William Woodward Sr. was among the initial respondents, pledging 20 per cent of the total.

The Grayson Foundation became a reality in 1940, and its initial incorporators included Woodward, while John Hay (Jock) Whitney was the foundation’s initial presidents.

“We are in great admiration of the support we get,” smiles Bowen, who extends his admiration to the equine research community as a whole. “It is not totally unusual for them to have made some strides forward, only for the human research community to come on board and learn from them.”

I

n the late 1980s and early 90s, for example, the foundation granted prominent veterinarian Wayne McIlwraith, director of the Musculoskeletal Research Program at Colorado State University, roughly $50,000 to research equine knee problems.

He and his team’s findings caught the eye of a number of organisations, including the National Football League, who granted McIlwraith an additional $1 million to conduct further work on human knee issues.

“That kind of thing doesn’t happen very often, but I’m very proud of the fact that there is precedent of our seed money generating not only good work for the horse, but work that affected humans, too,” Bowen.

But, of course, the bulk of the foundationfunded research is very much geared towards the horse. Some of this work has centered around the myriad risk factors behind catastrophic racehorse injuries – research that has borne rich fruit, for greater understanding of these risk factors in recent years has directly correlated with a general decline in catastrophic race-day injuries.

“Grayson has been a leader in funding very sophisticated, high quality research that allows us to understand fractures and injuries that we wouldn’t have otherwise,” reports Rick Arthur, equine medical director for the California Horse Racing Board, who also sits on the foundation’s board of directors.

“But Grayson isn’t just a horseracing research foundation – it funds a lot of studies that are important to all aspects of the equine industry,” adds Arthur. “The real advantage of Grayson is it allows equine researchers to address problems that otherwise there would be no other source of funding for.”

And the range of these problems is wide indeed, for the foundation has supported studies that have helped, among other things, develop the first vaccine for equine influenza, define the nature of Wobbler Syndrome, and better understand passive immunity in foals.

“Aristotle wrote about it, so it’s been around a long time, and yet, there’s still so much not known about the condition,” explains Bowen about laminitis, another condition that the foundation has funded to

grayson jockey-club foundation aid some greater understanding.

James Belknap, the Trueman Chair in Equine Clinical Medicine and Surgery at Ohio State University, has conducted a series of valuable studies into laminitis using foundation funds. And a presentation he once gave on the use of cryotherapy to treat laminitis resonated with an audience member called Laura Javsicas.

This was a time when researchers were beginning to understand just how beneficial cryotherapy – in essence, the application of very cold circulated water – can be in treating the condition.

Javsicas, a practicing veterinarian in New York and an Internal Medicine specialist, absorbed what Belknap and others were discovering.

She applied what she learned when successfully treating Paynter – the 2013Grade

“The real advantage of Grayson is it allows equine researchers to address problems that otherwise there would be no other source of funding for” 1 Haskell Invitational Stakes winner who, after developing laminitis later that year, was nursed not only back to health, but back to winning form on the racetrack.

“In general, we’re treating based on

experience,” says Javsicas, who adds that it’s still the “exception to the rule” when clinical decisions are “backed up” by highlevel research – which makes the role of the foundation that much more important. “It’s just hugely valuable.”

2018 Career Development Awards The Storm Cat Career Development Award Inaugurated in 2006 is a $15,000 grant designed as an early boost to an individual considering a career in equine research.

It has been underwritten annually by Mrs Lucy Young Hamilton, a Grayson-Jockey Club Research Foundation board member whose family stood the champion stallion Storm Cat at Overbrook Farm.

This year’s award winner is Stephanie Bond of the University of Calgary, her research topic is Airway Inflammation: On Pathogenesis and Performance

In 1993, racehorse breeder, owner and philanthropist Paul Mellon (above with Mill Reef) donated the $1 million bonus that his Kentucky Derby winner Sea Hero had won in the Chrysler Triple Crown Challenge.

Mellon requested that double that amount be raised in response, and this endowment drive was successfully concluded during the 1995-96 fiscal year.

The $1 million was double matched and members of The Jockey Club and other contributors donated more than $2 million.

On his death in 1999, Mellon left $2.5 million to the foundation's endowment.

In 2000, the foundation created the Rokeby Circle as the designation of those who contribute $10,000 or more in a given year. Rokeby is the name of Mr. Mellon's Virginia estate where he bred the champions Mill Reef, Arts And Letters, Fort Marcy and Key To The Mint.

The Elaine and Bertram Klein Development Award is a competitive programme intended to promote development of promising investigators by providing a one-year salary supplement of $15,000.

This programme is restricted to one award per year and is named in honor of Elaine and Bertram Klein. The grant is funded by the Klein Family Foundation.

The 2018 award winner is Jessica Gilbertie Jessica M. Gilbertie, North Carolina State University. Her topic is Platelet Lysate Therapy In Infectious Arthritis

photo of the month: the Pedigree Club

The Pedigree Club meeting at the Wavertree Coffee room at The National Stud inset, the evening’s speakers Shane Horan and Clare Curry explain their thinking

T

he Pedigree Club met on May 23 at the Wavertree Coffee Shop at The National Stud to discuss the elusive topic “What makes the perfect broodmare”, Shane Horan, nominations manager, and Clare Curry, nominations and pedigree research, from Juddmonte on hand to give listeners their opinions and the benefit of their expertise gained from working with one of the best global broodmare bands.

The pair discussed the backgrounds to some of the best broodmares there has been – both from within Juddmonte and those belonging to other breeders, some of the most expensive mares from extensive bloodlines but also those from more humble backgrounds.

Both Horan and Curry agreed that generally – and rules are always made to be broken in bloodstock – that if a mare is going to be a good producer, she should really have produced a good runner by about her fourth foal.

Further, if she has produced one stakes performer then there is a 48 per cent chance that she could get a second.

It was not until Rainbow Lake’s fourth runner that she became a stakes producer – Powerscourt born in 2000. He was immediately followed by Kind, who was a Listed winner and Group 3 placed as a four-year-old. Of course, her subsequent claim to fame is as the dam of Frankel.

However, Rainbow Lake’s next stakes horse did not appear then until her 2009 foal, the Group 1-placed Last Train, who was

followed the following year by the Grade 2 winner Riposte.

Horan and Curry went on to advise the students that if looking to buy a broodmare to try and buy mares from some of the outstanding large owner-breeder families – even if the best performers are a little way back in the pedigree.

There is always the chance then that the family will produce new top-class runners to improve the pedigree page. The families are well managed, based at the very best stud farms, while some of the very best stallions from around the world will be patronised.

The speakers explained that they are also prepared to compromise on conformation in order to buy pedigree – beauty does not win races – though a good temperament is hugely important.

Students should always try and find out as much as they can before purchase and continue to do so after purchase – it is vitally important to do your homework and put as much in your favour as possible.

“Tonight we had 18 National Stud students and about 20 people from outside the stud,” said organiser Zoe Arrowsmith, lead work place instructor at the National Stud. “This the third event we have held [there were also two subsequent evenings in June], and we are due an evening with Kirsten Rausing on July 5.

“There was a pedigree club run before by the late Leslie Harrison, and we decided to bring the idea back again for the students. It has been really well received and we’ve got some great speakers lined up.”
