first word

The best horse in the

World?

And Paul Haigh ponders why the Breeders’ Cup seems to have regained its popularity

S

omething interesting seems to have happened to the Breeders’ Cup. Suddenly Europeans have begun to take notice of it in the way they used to in the early days after 1984 – and continued to do so until about the turn of the century.

Back then people used to regard it with awe, mostly no doubt because of the seven-figure prize-money for every Grade 1, the sort of rewards about which European racing professionals could then only dream.

Huge pots, we told ourselves, must equal huge quality.

So we accepted the idea that the Breeders’ Cup was just what the Americans said it was: a genuine world championship of racing.

Then we started winning races, and somehow the gloss began to wear off. So they weren’t all super-horses over there after all. In fact their Turf horses – the shock of Dancing Brave’s defeat notwithstanding – often looked pretty ordinary compared with our stars, even if those stars had travelled thousands of miles after long seasons.

No attempt is going to be made here to explain the dip in interest. We’ve gone through all the drug (“medication”) problems and the fact that while we could go over there and often beat them, they couldn’t win anything much overseas because of their dependencies.

But there seemed to be a time – no, not forgetting Raven’s Pass – when Ballydoyle, for business reasons, seemed to be sustaining the whole concept of an Equine Olympics, or at least an Equine Ryder Cup. If it were possible to look at the graph of interest between say 2001 and 2014 anyway, it would probably have something like the shape of a hammock. Arc winners,

first word Derby winners, Frankel, the crème de la crème of Europe – no, Miesque is not forgotten either, but she was an exception so uniquely suited was she to US racing – just didn’t feel the need to come.

This year though, things perked up. How it’s happened is rather hard to say. Maybe the location of a permanent Breeders’ Cup representative (and cheerleader) in Newmarket had something to do with it. More likely it’s been social media. More likely still it’s the fact that the best horse in the world went to run at Keeneland on the last Saturday in October.

And, with this written before the Keeneland meet, whom you think “best horse in the world” is probably depends on your geographical location. If you’re in the US you’re likely to accept the Longines/IFHA handicapping committee’s compliment to the US Triple Crown winner American Pharoah, unsubstantiated though it may be by any evidence that he could beat the best Turf horses on anything except perhaps Dirt.

If you live outside the US you probably think it’s the Derby-winning Arc victor, Golden Horn Unless you’re French or a diehard, in which case you might be inclined to think it’s still Treve.

The Treve-Golden Horn debate is pretty easy to deal with. Clearly the mare is just a very good horse on ground that doesn’t have a bit of cut in it. The colt is similarly diminished by ground that’s any softer than good.

Obviously American conditions wouldn’t suit Treve.

Britain’s (sort of) Breeders’ Cup equivalent, the British Champions meeting at Ascot on October 17, had a pretty good renewal for a change, which is to say the weather relented and it was run on proper Flat instead of sticky jumping ground. It also produced at least two genuine champions, which is well above par for the now many American Pharoah: will he be rated the best of 2015?

One doesn’t often feel like saying this, but thank goodness Solow’s a gelding.

It means we’ve got more of him to look forward to next year.

In fact, he could be the rule by which all milers are measured for two or three years to come

meetings that seem to think they can declare champions just by putting the words champion or championship or world before their titles.

Solow is clearly the best miler in the Rest of the World.

Whether he’d be suited by US turns is doubtful, but he might well have been able to beat the best in the US anyway.

Freddie Head learnt all about America with Miesque and, very reasonably after a long season which started with a dazzling victory in Dubai, he doesn’t think it would be fair on the great grey for him to have to go to the trouble of finding out.

One doesn’t often feel like saying this, but thank goodness Solow’s a gelding. It means we’ve got more of him to look forward to next year. In fact, he could be the rule by which all milers are measured for two or three years to come.

Muhaarar is clearly the best sprinter in Europe. Or perhaps we should say “was” now he’s already off to stud.

For a long time that wouldn’t have meant much, but this one is so good that Charlie Hills is probably right in thinking he could have emulated a fellow sprinter, Last Tycoon 30 years ago, by taking the Breeders’ Cup Mile, if given the chance.

T

he one downside to British Champions Day is the astonishing decline in TV viewership.

Only 367, 000 watched what should have been the season’s climactic event. That’s down from 557,000 last year, a fall of 34 per cent. You can’t blame the Rugby World Cup semi-final (a bitter and sarcastic thank you by the way to Wayne Barnes for giving South Africa a head start with all those early penalties) because the meeting started early to avoid a clash. There has been a pattern of decline from Cheltenham onwards all year long, and C4 is clearly doing something wrong.

One guess is that there are just too many people longing to establish themselves as “personalities” competing for our attention when we’d quite like to be thinking about what’s been said before. We’ve already found out that the way to empty betting shops, or at least reduce the clientele to the humanity addicted to the FOBTs is to produce a sustained cacophony that makes thought impossible.

Whatever the TV bosses may think, you don’t promote racing on TV by trying to reproduce the atmosphere of a game show or a dance competition. C4 has proved that now.

Racing is an intellectual exercise for the spectator, and the more people clamouring for attention on the instructions of the producer, the less fun it becomes. The disappearance from the calendar of Singapore’s two flagship events (attempted explanation elsewhere in this edition, see page 60) is a reminder of just how fragile even established international showpieces can be.

What will the viewing figures have been on Breeders’ Cup Day? (That’s the Saturday by the way, not the Friday sideshow).

Along with the turnover, everyone knows it’s the TV figures that really matter. If, with American Pharoah and Golden Horn topping the bill and a very decent supporting cast from both sides of the Atlantic, it isn’t up on last year, then there really will be reason to be very afraid.

the news

New names join the stallion ranks

Darley set up a new Breeders’ Club and the Group 1 winners Golden Horn, Muhaarar and The Wow Signal head October’s list of new stallions at stud

I

t has been a busy October regarding stallion news and retirements to stud, with the new Darley Club claiming all the headlines at the beginning of the month.

The club offers breeders the opportunity to use one of four new stallions for a one-off paidin-advance nomination fee. The breeder can use the same stallion in years two and three for no extra cost. If the breeder uses all three nominations then they can earn a lifetime breeding right to the sire, which has been termed a “loyalty bonus” by Darley.

The four stallions are Outstrip (Exceed And Excel), winner of the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Turf, who stands at £5,000, and Fulbright, French Navy and Hunter’s Light, who are priced at £4,000.

According to an interview with the Racing Post, the Club has reportedly been “unbelievably” well-received according to Darley’s director of stallions Sam Bullard.

“Since we announced the Darley Club the response has been unbelievable – far better than my wildest dreams,” said Bullard.

Outstrip, who will stand at Dalham Hall Stud in Newmarket, is almost oversubscribed, Bullard added.

Bullard reported the same level of enthusiasm for the two horses bound for Kildangan Stud, French Navy and Fulbright, but that the horses have not yet transferred to Ireland.

Group 1-winning son of Dubawi, will stand at Haras du Logis in Normandy.

Applications will be dealt with on a first-come-first-served basis.

“There will be people disappointed not to get into the scheme and I would love to find another horse, although I don’t have one on my desk at the moment,” he added to the Racing Post.

“However, we need to be considerate of the danger of increasing numbers, and that is why we need to make sure we don’t drop below a certain line with the quality of the stallions we are offering.”

Cable Bay wins his last-time-out start, taking the Group 2 Challenge Stakes

On the Saturday of the Arc meeting it was also announced that the Derby winner Golden Horn, a son of Cape Cross, will be retiring to Darley, and after Champions Day that the leading three-year-old sprinter of the year, Muhaarar, will retire to Shadwell’s Nunnery Stud.

The son of Oasis Dream is the winner of four consecutive Group 1 sprints, a sequence that began with the inaugural running of the Commonwealth Cup, and included the July Cup, the Prix Maurice de Gheest before his dominating victory at Ascot in the British Champion Sprint Stakes.

Others retiring to stud and counting speed as their main attribute include The Wow Signal, the son of Starspangledbanner and winner of the Prix Morny (G1) in 2014.

Owned by Al Shaqab Racing, he is retiring to Haras du Bouquetot.

Hot Streak, winner of the Temple Stakes (G2) in 2014, third in this year’s renewal of the King’s Stand Stakes (G1) and a son of Iffraaj, goes to Tweenhills.

The recent Group 2 winner of the 7f Challenge Stakes Cable Bay (Invincible Spirit), also runnerup in the Dewhurst Stakes as a juvenile, heads to Highclere Stud in Berkshire.

The 2014 Haydock Sprint Cup (G1) winner G Force (Tamayuz), who also finished fourth in the race this year, goes to Tally-Ho Stud, while Ivawood (Zebedee), runner-up in the Middle Park Stakes (G1) in 2014 after winning the Group 2 Richmond Stakes, heads to Coolmore.

the news

Multiple Grade 1 winner Wise Dan retires with tendon injury The ten-time Grade 1 winner and one of the most successful US Turf horses Wise Dan has suffered a tendon injury and has been retired.

“We noticed some filling in his

tendon when we were giving him a bath. The vet suggested we scan it and it turns out he has a tear on the outside edge of his tendon,” said trainer Charlie LoPresti.

The trainer added that he had consulted owner Morton Fink about whether he should persevere with the champion turf performer.

“Mr Fink and I talked about it and we’ve all decided he should be retired at this age,” LoPresti

said. “There’s no point trying to bring him back again. I expect he’ll retire to our farm here in Kentucky.”

Wise Dan, an eight-year-old gelding, was named Horse of the Year in 2012 and 2013 when he was also named US Eclipse champion grass horse and champion older horse in both seasons.

In total he won 23 races and nearly $5 million in earnings

and was twice successful in the Breeders’ Cup Mile. His last victory came in the Shadwell Turf Mile Stakes (G1) at Keeneland in October 2014.

By Wiseman’s Ferry, he is half-brother is fellow Grade 1 performer Successful Dan and to the Grade 2 third Enchanting Lisa (War Chant), while his dam Lisa Danielle (Wolf Power) is a half-sister to the dam of Grade 2 winner Siphon City.

A

rich feast of racing and a relentless yearling sales diary meant a busy month that was fortunately been blessed with mainly favourable weather.

A dry spell in Paris between the Prix Vermeille meeting and Arc weekend saw ground conditions that allowed Golden Horn a place in the Arc field.

An extremely enterprising ride

by Frankie Dettori, breaking smartly from the stalls, staying wide to avoid breaking the strict French interference rules and then using Treve’s pacemaker Shahah rather better than she did, saw him gain a conclusive win.

The ultra-consistent Flintshire, Make Believe and Goldream also put up above-average performances in the Forêt and the Abbaye.

Ascot was also lucky to end up with better ground than had looked likely. However, it was still on the soft side of good and was certainly not in Gleneagles’ favour.

The Queen Elizabeth II Stakes was run at an uneven pace with a slow overall time, but produced

a hard-fought second to Al Kazeem in the Tattersalls Gold Cup. Clearly effective on soft ground, his shrewd and patient trainer Dermot Weld gave him another break until the autumn and was not deterred by a rusty return to action at Windsor.

He returned good time figures in the Qipco Champion Stakes and took advantage of a slightly below-par performance by the favourite Jack Hobbs.

Undoubtedly, the star performer on Champions Day was the Champion Sprint winner, Muhaarar.

He has only been beaten once this year, back in the spring’s French 2,000 Guineas, and he went on from that to be a thoroughly worthy winner of the Commonwealth Cup, the new Group 1 sprint for three-year-olds at Royal Ascot. The race has clearly already found its feet, having set up Muhaarar for a fabulous season.

Muhaarar has an interesting pedigree being by Oasis Dream out of the Linamix mare, Miss Sacha. He should make an outstanding recruit to Shadwell and justly reward Sheikh Hamdan’s loyal support of British and European racing.

Fortunately, Shadwell’s web site

includes the pronunciation and meaning (Liberated) of his name.

Meanwhile, there was the relentless pressure of attending the yearling sales at Goffs, Tattersalls and finally Arqana.

The relative weakness of the euro meant stronger returns at Newmarket and Book 1 saw an increase of four per cent on last year and both Books 1 and 2 were headlined by offspring by Dubawi.

Books 2 and 3 suffered from the perennial problem of too many horses catalogued and insufficient time for buyers see the later lots.

The situation is always complicated by the geographical layout and the terrain at Park Paddocks.

Book 4, which will have taken place at the end of the Horses-in-Training Sale, is a thin volume. I think it needs a radical rethink in order to encourage vendors and buyers to use it as a market place.

The obvious new sire star Frankel topped the new sires’ list, but seemed to fail to deliver the individual to match the hype. However, the illustrious band of mares who visited him should produce a fair share of top class performers.

the news

British racing moves to develop “Authorised Betting Partners”

Wise Dan with John Velazquez after victory in the Breeders’ Cup Mile

Nathaniel was next on new sire averages, but is unlikely to get many early season performers. Sepoy had a healthy average of just over £100,000 for his colts and he was an outstanding two-year-old in Australia.

He must have a decent chance of making a real mark with his runners next year.

The final chapter of the major European yearling sales was written at Arqana October Sale.

I had gone early, sadly missing watching the racing on Qipco Champions Day, to travel on Sunday to Le Pin to see Sharjah, a colt by Doctor Dino whom we had bought last year.

He had been very uncompetitive at Longchamp in September and seemed destined for a transfer.

The racecourse is set in a forest adjacent to the National Stud and has all the charm of a Cartmel and a hill finish to rival Carlisle.

Unlike the aforementioned, it has an excellent public dining hall, some historic stables and a very mixed card.

Sharjah ran a very game race to finish second to a Lope De Vega colt.

There were two steeplechases sandwiched between the two juvenile races and a spectacular eight-horse Percheron race won

by Sissy d’Albe ridden by Ludivine Charlemagne.

When in France a few summers ago I bought some horsemeat at

Ardres market. The steak roast was delicious and I cooked the sausages for a BBQ party.

My guests were all horse lovers and I introduced it as an “exotic sausage”. After everyone had enjoyed it, I disclosed its origin. John Hallum, who helps me in the garden and looked after Mill Reef at Kingsclere, had a second helping after I told him what it was and took what little was left back home with him!

I would certainly have it again, and so would they. As it is, most people who have eaten salami will have tasted, and probably enjoyed, both horse and donkey!

Our efforts at the sales were rewarded with only one purchase as we kept on coming up against the recent winner of the Euromillions lottery, who outbid us on three of our selections.

Still we were lucky with the weather and even though there was double-stabling for some of the later lots, we did not have to trek down to the Solario Barn to see them!

International racing continues to excite with the Breeders’ Cup and Victorian Spring Carnival.

Hopefully, Golden Horn will have flown the flag for English breeding and some of the European team in Australia will make up for the northern-hemisphere’s lamentable failure in the Rugby World Cup.

British Racing is setting out to establish a new and more viable relationship with betting operators in a move to address the need to create a sustainable method of transferring funds and value between the racing and betting industries.

Currently, British Racing is losing out on an estimated sum of at least £30 million a year in Levy or equivalent payments. It is expected that by 2017-18 the Levy will have dropped to a forecasted £53 from over £105 million in 2004-05 if no action is taken.

The majority of betting operators generating profits from taking bets on British racing do not pay Levy on their digital businesses, which are based offshore and thus not covered by the Levy legislation.

The British Government has committed to introducing legislation in the current Parliament to support the industry and close the loophole in the current Levy legislation through the introduction of a “Horserace Betting Right”. However, given that the legislation may take several years to implement, key stakeholders in British racing are establishing a new arrangement for betting operators who pay the Levy, or an agreed contribution, on their digital businesses to acknowledge and reward their partnership approach.

Betting operators who have a fair and mutually sustainable funding relationship with the sport will receive the official designation, ‘Authorised Betting Partner’, and will be able to fully utilise British racing to promote and grow their own businesses.

A full package of benefits setting out how Authorised Betting Partners will be able to utilise their relationship with British Racing is being finalised.

Arena Racing Company and Jockey Club Racecourses have chosen to independently support the process. Neither racecourse group will enter into any new commercial arrangements, including race sponsorship, with betting operators who currently neither pay an agreed contribution in respect of their digital businesses, nor have a commercial deal in place to pay the equivalent sum.

Currently 32Red, bet365 and Betfair are deemed Authorised Betting Partners. The four leading high street operators Betfred, Coral, Ladbrokes and William Hill have made an additional voluntary contribution of £4.5 million over the last year. Future commitments that meet the required criteria will result in these major betting firms becoming Authorised Betting Partners.

Nick Rust, Chief Executive of the British Horseracing Authority, said:“British Racing offers world-class sport, gives enjoyment to millions of people a year, employs over 85,000 people and contributes £3.4 billion a year to the economy. But we are underfunded and loopholes in the Horserace Betting Levy system, allowing the majority of betting operators to make no contribution from profits made on British Racing through their digital businesses, continue to play a large part in that.

“We welcome the leading stance being taken by ARC and Jockey Club Racecourses. The concept of British Racing working in a sustainable manner with betting operators is an important one.

Every stakeholder in the sport must understand and take on their responsibly for the creation of the right structure to support the funding of our sport.”

the news

Juvenile Group 2 scorer Gutaifan retires to Yeomanstown GUTAIFAN, winner of the Group 2 Prix Robert Papin and Flying Childers Stakes, is retiring to stand alongside his sire Dark Angel at Yeomanstown Stud.

Trained by Richard Hannon for Al Shaqab, he broke the juvenile track record at Doncaster having earlier finished second to the year’s leading two-year-old Shalaa in the Prix Morny (G1).

Yeomanstown Stud owner Gay O’Callaghan said: “We are excited to have acquired Gutaifan - he’s a great looking horse with tremendous action, and a high-class twoyear-old. Precocious, tough and sound, he reminds me a lot of his father.”

Dark Angel, winner of the Middle Park Stakes, has been one of the most sought-after sires at this season's yearling sales.

He was leading sire at Tattersalls October Gutaifan: wins the Flying Childers Stakes (G2)

Book 2 and is currently in eighth position in the leading European stallion table.

He has had 81 winners in 2015 and his daughter Mecca’s Angel became his second Group 1 winner when landing the Nunthorpe Stakes in August.

Bred by Eimear Mulhern and Abbeville Stud, Gutaifan is one of seven winners out of Alikhlas, a winning daughter of Lahib whose other produce include Listed third Cest Notre Gris and Silk Fan, the dam of smart Kodiac colt Haikbidiac. The extended pedigree include Rockfel Stakes scorer Sayedah, Stewards’ Cup hero Magical Memory and Cherry Hinton Stakes winner.

No doubts...

A

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

t this time of year the oft-repeated question is: “How were the sales?” In my opinion the yearling sales season has been fairly consistent with last year at the top, but at the middle to bottom we have seen some weakening, not helped by sales companies taking more yearlings to their sales.

Tattersalls, who were regularly criticised for the format they set up, were really only reacting to market forces. Trying to accommodate their loyal vendors, who all wanted to sell in Book 2, led to a catalogue which had double boxing. On the ground it meant that yearlings were shown for the first time on the Tuesday, yet were due to be sold the next day. It resulted in nearly two-third less shows per horse, yet all were entered at the same entry fee as for the first two days of sale.

Keeneland had multiple double boxing in their marathon September Sale with a day break after the selected yearling section. It also suffers from a reluctance from vendors to be catalogued in Book 1, just the same as Tattersalls.

The solution is a difficult one. I sympathise with both companies, yet they are a victim of their own success!

Last year we enjoyed the disappearance of double boxing for Book 2 sale, and personally I feel that is a successful format.

Tattersalls has tried everything known to man to encourage selling in Book 2 and the bonus was inspired and brave, but did it really have the effect we all really hoped for?

There was, apart from the top end of the market, an increased amount of yearlings being sold on the “vendor’s word”. A proper way to do business, ensuring the vendor has done their due diligence.

The bottom end of the market suffered by the last days of Book 3 and many yearlings where not profitable either as pin-hooks or home-breds, but it was a service to sell horses, which is also important.

For the first time in 15 years, I was unable to “gift” an unsold yearling filly. Many trainers now look at the ongoing costs of keep and refuse to take a chance, even on a horse by a popular first-season sire! The last time that happened the market crashed the following year.

I don’t wish to be a professor of doom and gloom, just saying!

With the pin-hookers in general suffering and the foal catalogues increasing, I

fear a polarisation to the top where there were some notable successes.

Studs have already started increasing their fees dramatically in tandem with racecourse success and Darley has launched the Darley Club, an innovative idea to help the small broodmare owner share in the success of their stallions.

As always with something different there are the detractors, quite obviously from some opposing stallion owners who will find it difficult to compete. But it will stimulate the market in that sector, and ownership of stallion breeding rights or shares will benefit across the board.

We forget how difficult this area of ownership is. Many years ago, I started a portfolio of stallion shares and the only profitable one was Owington, who sadly died after his first season, albeit he was insured!

With two pregnant mares and the share price back from insurance, it usurped any attempt of mine to pick another successful share out of ten owned shares!

The increased use of ACP and Sedalin in showing yearlings around the sales and in some racing yards has become alarming.

As I understand, ACP is only licenced for use in dogs and not for horses, and Sedalin or similar can only be prescribed for individual yearlings or horses via prescription.

Nonetheless, we have a growing problem partly due to apathy of good horsemanship by giving enough exercise before showing, varying the feed and the growing need for yearlings to show perfectly first time.

I fear in the training yards that riders have access to the medication. I am not sure if, god forbid, there is an accident with such a horse, what the consequences for Health and Safety would be?

A closer eye on well-regulated use of these drugs would not go amiss not only for Health and Saftey reasons, but also for the welfare of the horses.

Due to the stringent confidentiality rules governing members of the TBA council since my recent election I find it increasingly more difficult to write my mind as many subjects have ramifications of confidentiality as they are talked about on the council.

Trying to find bland subjects to write about really isn’t why I started writing, therefore until such time I can write without being constrained, I am reluctantly suspending this column.

“

It’s like getting into a Ferrari and putting your foot down when you want to

n occasion billed as Champions Day needs an eponymous hero, both to appease any gods on the lookout for hubris and to satisfy the paying public.

Happily for the promotors, the fifth edition of Ascot’s Qipco-backed end-of-season extravaganza, with its £4.26 million in prize-money and four Group 1 contests, provided two. Step forward, Muhaarar and Solow, who both used the glittering stage to confirm themselves the undisputed leaders of their respective divisions.

It has been a while since one horse so comprehensively dominated the speed scene as has Muhaarar, who said farewell to the racecourse with the best performance of his career in the British Champions Sprint.

The Charlie Hills-trained three-year-old produced an exhilarating display of pace and acceleration to streak clear of his 19 rivals, headed by previously-unbeaten Twilight Son. Muhaarar, in the Sheikh Hamdan Al Maktoum colours, could be called the winner most of the way, even before he hit the front well before the final of the 6f, and it all clearly felt as thrilling as it looked.

“It’s like getting into a Ferrari and putting your foot down when you want to,” said jockey Paul Hanagan.

Muhaarar is not only talented, but also straightforward.

“When you are on something like him you are always pretty confident,” added Hanagan, “and I try to keep it as simple as possible.

Maybe he took himself there too early this time, but I know he doesn’t pull up in front, and I know he’s by far one of the best I’ve ridden.”

The Oasis Dream colt, previously the Group 1 winner of the Commonwealth Cup, the July Cup and the Prix Maurice de Gheest, now heads to his owner-breeder’s Nunnery Stud in Norfolk. It was there that his paternal grand-sire Green Desert, who died in honoured retirement at the age of 32 in September, founded a dynasty of sprinters and stallions, and the old king’s box awaits the young pretender.

The sprint discipline is arguably the most difficult in which to record multiple victories – given the hectic nature of 5f and 6f races luck in running is often at a premium and even at the highest level it is often a case of turn and turn about.

Muhaarar will start his second career with the unique credentials of being the first

specialist sprinter to notch four European Group 1 victories in a season, even if that feat must be viewed in the light of him having had the most opportunities of any to do so, given that the first and last of his sequence are new this season to the top-level programme.

Two horses, Dayjur and Habibti, won four of the seven races that had, since the creation of the Pattern 44 years ago, developed to identify Europe’s best sprinters: the King’s Stand Stakes, Diamond Jubilee Stakes (formerly Cork & Orrery), July Cup, Nunthorpe Stakes, Prix Maurice De Gheest, Sprint Cup and Prix de l’Abbaye.

Dayjur, who also raced for Sheikh Hamdan, was the best sprinter of the modern era and in 1990 showed his brilliance winning the King’s Stand (then a Group 2), Nunthorpe, Sprint Cup and Abbaye, all by daylight. Seven years earlier Habibti took the July Cup, Nunthorpe, Sprint Cup (then Group 2) and Abbaye.

Dual elite winners in a season sprint company are common enough, but between Dayjur and Muhaarar only Marchand D’Or won three top prizes: the July Cup, Maurice de Gheest and Abbaye in 2008.

Since 1998 there have been six years with seven different winners of the above-named seven races, before that the latest instance of that spread of honours was back in 1966.

Winner of the Gimcrack Stakes and a close third in the Middle Park Stakes on his last two runs at two, Muhaarar opened his three-yearold campaign by taking the Greenham Stakes over 7f after which he took his chance in Classic company and finished eighth, running over-keenly with no cover from a wide draw, in the Poule d’Essai des Poulains.

That down-the-field effort prompted the comment “this is a really talented colt” from the Racing Post race analysist Ron Wood and Muhaarar’s reversion to sprinting proved the prescient wisdom of his words.

Hills can take pride in the reinvention of his charge, though he deflected praise to the horse.

“He has been very straightforward,” he said. “He has that will to win, the most beautiful temperament and great looks. He’s just been a privilege to train.”

Muhaarar, whose name translates as ‘liberated’, is the 14th Group or Grade 1 winner for and best runner by his sire Oasis Dream, who was himself a champion sprinter and the best by Green Desert.

For good measure Oasis Dream is responsible for another of this season’s speed kings, the King’s Stand Stakes and Prix de

l’Abbaye winner Goldream, but is by no means one-dimensional as a progenitor; his own aptitude was speed but he is out of a Dancing Brave sister to an Irish Oaks winner and he also has high-class middle-distance runners to his credit.

Muhaarar also has stouter elements on the distaff side. His dam Tahrir (Linamix) has two siblings who won in minor Group company on heavy ground at a mile and more, while their dam Miss Sacha (Last Tycoon) is out of a High Line half-sister to top-class 1m2f performer Timarida.

Tahrir was brought into the Shadwell fold in 2003 as a yearling for 350,000gns, a price which made her the all-time second-dearest of that age by her sire to be sold at auction.

She recouped little on the track – she won two minor 7f contests and was Listed-placed – but has more than justified the Sheikh’s long game judgement in the paddocks.

All her six foals of racing age have won; before Muhaarar the best of her five winners was the very smart handicapper Tamaathul, by Tiger Hill. Her youngest runner, the Dubawi juvenile Mootaharer, was an impressive winner of a 7f Newmarket maiden four days after Muhaarar’s last run, with a Dubawi colt-foal in the pipeline.

Solow: the class act

For the other three Group 1 winners on Champions Day – Solow, Fascinating Rock and Simple Verse – the racecourse beckons again next year and each horse will bring much to look forward to.

The Queen Elizabeth II Stakes can be either an end-of-season showdown or a lap of honour among milers. The latest edition might have been the former, but in the end proved the latter as Freddy Head-trained Solow stretched his winning sequence to nine, of which the last five have been top-level prizes in three countries.

The wholly admirable five-year-old gelding, another as uncomplicated as he is talented, tracked the generous pace set by Elm Park and over-revving Kodi Bear and strode willingly to the lead as soon as Maxime Guyon asked going to the final furlong. The striking grey’s winning margin was less than a length from staying-on Belardo, but he was never seriously threatened by the runner-up.

Behind them, back in sixth came Solow’s perceived chief rival, the high-class three-year-old Gleneagles, who was making his first appearance since winning the St James’s Palace Stakes in June.

He was allowed by Aidan O’Brien and the Coolmore team to take his chance at Ascot despite more doubts about the underfoot conditions, and if on the day the decision backfired, with a tilt at the Breeders’ Cup Classic on the cards, a run was needed to blow away any cobwebs.

Solow, by contrast, has danced every dance, starting with a warm-up on the Chantilly All-Weather in early March and progressing to Ascot via the Dubai Turf at Meydan, the Prix d’Ispahan at Longchamp, the Queen Anne Stakes at the Royal meeting and the Sussex Stakes at Goodwood.

Solow: “danced every dance” in 2015

Solow can gallop along near the pace or come from a long way back. He’s a tough miler who can stay Head has been associated with some topclass milers over the years – he rode such horses as Miesque, Linamix, Hector Protector and trained Goldikova, Moonight Cloud and last year’s QEII winner Charm Spirit – and rates Solow up with the best.

“He’s very special,” he said, “especially to keep his form all year after the journeys he’s made. He’s always the same, runs the same sort of race. He’s not the sort of miler who needs to be hidden and come with a late burst. Solow can gallop along near the pace or come from a long way back. He’s a tough miler who can stay.”

Indeed, Solow is something of an accidental miler. His first victory came over 1m4f at Longchamp as a three-yearold and in May last year he tried his luck (without success) over nearly 2m, in the Prix Vicomtesse Vigier at the Paris track.

The Wertheimer-bred’s early forays were in keeping with his pedigree – his sire Singspiel was a top-class international middle-distance performer, his dam High Maintenance, by Highest Honor, won over 1m7f and is out of the smart 1m4f performer Fabulous Hostess.

It was only when he started showing dash in his homework that he was diverted to the shorter distance. His winning run started in the mud at Clairfontaine in August last year and he gave notice of what was to come when he ran away with the Prix Quincey at Deauville, his first venture in Group company.

He is one of the last of the Singspiels and is one of the best, over any distance. The In The Wings horse’s other top performers include Moon Ballad (Dubai World Cup), Dar Re Mi (Yorkshire Oaks, Sheema Classic), Eastern Anthem (Sheema Classic), and Papineau (Ascot Gold Cup).

A Fascinating plan came off

Solow’s top-level ability has been evident to the racing public all year, but Fascinating Rock’s was known, it seems, only to those closest to him.

But when the trainer involved is Dermot

Fascinating Rock’s dam Miss Polaris was bought by the Regans for 50,000gns. He is the mare’s third foal – her second achieved a BHA rating high of 101

Weld, it is best to take notice. In taking the Champion Stakes the four-year-old notched his first Group 1 victory, the culmination of a plan formulated in the spring.

“He’s a very good horse and always had the potential to do this,” said Weld, “and I’ve been planning this race for him for about six months.”

The son of Fastnet Rock was highly tried last year, running in the Epsom and Curragh Derbys, after which he was put away. He emerged this spring with two progressive wins before splitting Al Kazeem and Postponed in the Tattersalls Gold Cup. He warmed up for the Champion Stakes with a wide-margin Group 3 cruise at Leopardstown.

Fascinating Rock had his ideal conditions at Ascot – a fast-run 1m2f with ease in the ground – and he and Pat Smullen brought off the Weld masterplan with aplomb, hitting the front inside the final furlong and staying on well to see off Found, with hot favourite Jack Hobbs third.

Found, heroine of the Prix Marcel Boussac (G1) last year, was given a tough task from plumb last into the straight, and ran with huge credit to take her fourth Group 1 runnerup spot of her second season. The Galileo filly was also second in the Irish Champion Stakes (to the year’s middle-distance champion Golden Horn), the Coronation Stakes (to Ervedya) and the Irish 1,000 Guineas (to Pleascach), and will race on next year.

euro racing As will Jack Hobbs; the Irish Derby winner was undone by his wide draw and immaturity and if he takes after his sire Halling, who did the Eclipse-International double at four and five, actually beating Singspiel at Sandown the first time, he will only improve with age.

Fascinating Rock, bred by Maurice and Patricia Regan at their Newtown Anner Stud near Clonmel, is from the Polar Falcon mare Miss Polaris. He is a third European Group 1 winner for Fastnet Rock after the three-year-old fillies Qualify (Oaks) and Diamondsandrubies (Pretty Polly Stakes).

The Regans acquired Miss Polaris, successful twice over a mile and a sister to German Listed winner Euro Falcon, for 50,000gns at the December Sales in 2006, then carrying to One Cool Cat. She has bred them three winners, the best of the others being the very smart dual-purpose performer Quick Jack (Footstepsinthesand), who was third in the Cesarewitch a week before his celebrated sibling’s day of days, and won the Galway Hurdle in July.

Fastnet Rock, who stands at Coolmore, was a champion sprinter in his native Australia and a champion sire there too, with 22 individual top-level winners in all to his credit. The Danehill horse has been shuttling for the past five years, with Fascinating Rock one of his first European crop.

Verse got her Simple rewards

In taking the British Champions Fillies & Mares Stakes, Simple Verse was finally able to give her connections the opportunity to celebrate a Group 1 victory for her on the racecourse, and what could be more appropriate that she carries the colours of the Qipco principal, Sheikh Fahad Al Thani.

The joy of her St Leger victory was cut short when the filly lost the Classic in the stewards’ room, and though she regained the prize on appeal, a pavement outside the British Horseracing Authority’s London headquarters was not the place for high-fives.

At Ascot, the stamina that served Simple Verse so well at Doncaster did so again on her drop back to 1m4f, her first try at the shorter trip at Group 1 level.

Not at all inconvenienced by the strong gallop set by Arabian Queen up front, she was never far from the pace under Andrea Atzeni and had a clear run into the straight.

In the last 50 yards her sustained challenge wore down Journey, who had taken the baton

Air Force Blue flies to the top of the 2yo order

Air Force Blue

Air Force Blue, by the Danzig stallion War Front, won the Dewhurst Stakes (G1) with considerable authority, quickening under Ryan Moore to clear more than 3l away from Massaat, with his market rival Emotionless, so impressive at Doncaster, last, though subsequently found to be carrying an injury.

It was Air Force Blue’s third toplevel success, after the the Phoenix and National Stakes, and a second Dewhurst in three years (after War Command) for his Claiborne-based sire. He was also responsible for the Queen Anne and York International winner Declaration Of War and has nine Group or Grade 1 winners worldwide.

Air Force Blue, a $490,000 Keeneland September yearling, was bred by the Hancock family’s Stone Farm from the top-class US family of two champion fillies, Flanders and Surfside.

Air Force Blue’s fellow-O’Brien trainee Minding was even more impressive as she strode away from Nathra and Hawksmoor to take the Fillies’ Mile (G1) by four and a half lengths.

She was following up her success in the Moyglare Stud Stakes (G1) where she accounted for two more stablemates in Ballydoyle, subsequent winner of the Prix Marcel Boussac (G1), and Alice Springs.

Minding, out of the Coolmore team’s Coronation and Matron Stakes winner Lillie Langtry, provided Galileo with his 97th Group or Grade 1 success; Curvy notched his 98th in the EP Taylor Stakes at Woodbine.

from Arabian Queen two furlongs out.

The daughter of Duke Of Marmalade is one of the season’s most notable improvers – her trainer Ralph Beckett was delighted to win a Salisbury handicap with her in June!

She will target the top middle-distance prizes next year, with hopes for a return to Ascot.

“I think she’s shown she’s one of the best 1m4f horses,” said the Sheikh, “and I hope she’ll be competitive in a race like the King George.”

Simple Verse, bred by Barronstown and acquired by the Qataris for €240,000 as a yearling, is out of an unraced Sadler’s Wells mare Guantanamera, whose dam Bluffing is a half-sister to smart Feminine Wiles, narrow runner-up in a Sun Chariot Stakes (G1).

Duke Of Marmalade (Danehill) is having his best European season with Nutan (Deutsches Derby), Star Of Seville (Prix de Diane) and Big Orange (Princess Of Wales Stakes and Goodwood Cup), but is now at Drakenstein Stud in South Africa.

His Galileo half-brother Ruler Of The World, the 2013 Derby winner, started stallion duties in County Tipperary this year.

For the first time, Champions Day marked an entirely arbitrary end to the British season, with Silvestre De Sousa taking the jockeys’ title, John Gosden the trainers’ and Godolphin the owners’.

The victory for Flying Officer – under a fine ride from Frankie Dettori, who took the initiative early in the straight – in the Long Distance Cup (G2) gave Gosden his first success at the Ascot meeting.

The Dynaformer five-year-old, a brother to 2007 St Leger winner Lucarno bred by their owner George Strawbridge, will have a Cup campaign next year.

If the Coolmore team campaigned all their horses in the same colours and under the same names, they would have more British titles to add to the one they took back in 2001, the year of Galileo, and to their regular Irish crowns.

But presumably no matter. More importantly, Galileo will take his seventh sires’ title this year (and is closing in on a century of top-level victories), his stud-mate Zoffany the first-season championship and the County Tipperary partners have the winter favourites for the 2,000 and 1,000 Guineas in Air Force Blue and Minding, hero and heroine of the Future Championsbranded meeting at Newmarket.

Just brilliant

Jocelyn de Moubray reports on his day at Longchamp, which saw an exceptional performance from Golden Horn

34

euro racing

A

large crowd gathered at the “old” Longchamp racecourse for the last time in the expectation of a special result in the Qatar Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe.

For many in the home crowd the result was a disappointment. Al Shaqab’s and the Haras du Quesnay’s Treve was unable to complete her hat-trick of Arc wins – with the weather

and the run of the race going against her Treve could only finish an admirable fourth two and a half lengths behind Golden Horn.

The race was, however, an exceptional one – Anthony Oppenheimer’s son of Cape Cross proved himself to be an outstanding champion, and his trainer John Gosden and jockey Frankie Dettori displayed the skill and cunning which has made them such a formidable partnership.

Treve does, of course, retire to stud as one of the greatest racemares of all time with nine wins and four places from 13 career starts.

At three she looked more or less unbeatable and her first Arc on soft ground was surely the best win of her career as she beat Orfevre and Intello by an easy 5l.

At four she was narrowly beaten by Cirrus Des Aigles on soft ground at Longchamp over 1m1f – the gelding has never been beaten over

euro racing

“

The race was, however, an exceptional one – Anthony Oppenheimer’s son of Cape Cross proved himself to be an outstanding champion his favourite track on his preferred ground – and then she came back from hoof problems to win her second Arc. At five, she has looked to be as good as ever with brilliant wins over Flintshire, We Are and Candarliya in May, June and September.

Treve actually put up her best performances on all types of ground, in fact she only ran four times on soft ground winning her first Arc, her two Prix de Vermeilles and getting beaten by Cirrus Des Aigles.

If it had rained in the weeks leading up to the Arc it might have inconvenienced some of her rivals, but on the day and with the good ground, she was beaten because she didn’t have the tactical speed to win. To a large degree it was also because Gosden and Dettori outwitted Treve’s connections

and the rest of the field.

Contrary to the insinuations in the British press the draw for the Arc is not fixed; it takes place in public in front of the press.

In normal circumstances an outside draw over the Arc course is a huge disadvantage, and Golden Horn was given 14 of the 17. Of the 16 Arc de Triomphe’s run this century only three – Treve in 2013, Bago in 2004 and Golden Horn in 2015 – have been won from a double-digit draw.

It is usually pointless to try to make all of the running as it means taking on the pacemakers in a sprint up the hill to the top of the course. So, from a wide draw, the choice is between racing wide the whole way and giving away ground to all of your rivals, which Treve did with ease in 2013, or waiting well behind and then hoping for a miracle and a clear passage in the straight, which is how Bago won in 2004.

Dettori and Gosden decided to try something different, and with a horse as gifted as Golden Horn, it worked. As the stalls opened Dettori took his mount out to the left, wider still and raced isolated from the others.

Treve’s pacemaker went straight into the lead, but as they raced up the hill and behind the wood the pace was only ordinary. Golden Horn had taken time to settle on his only defeat at York and so the plan was to go wide to give the son of Cape Cross time to find his own rhythm.

After about 45 seconds Dettori took Golden Horn across to the rail and took up his position behind Treve’s pacemaker. At this point, as the field raced behind the wood, Left, the wonderful Treve returns from her last race, right, the Gosden boys celebrate the brilliant success by Golden Horn

Two strong minded ladies gallop to the line in the Prix Opera: in the end the Group 1 went to Covert Love, on the far side, with Jazzi Top second

Golden Horn was second, closely followed by Flintshire and New Bay. Treve had only two or three behind her and was some 10l behind the winner.

From then on, with her pacemaker not testing Golden Horn in front, Treve had a very difficult task ahead of her.

She finally lost any chance in the false straight when she made ground on the outside, only then to be restrained by her jockey Thierry Jarnet who didn’t want to make his ground too soon.

A split second decision but one which cost Treve her chance of a third Arc as from then Golden Horn was going so fast in front that that it would have taken a top-class sprinter to make up the 4l start Treve had given the Derby winner.

Golden Horn covered the last 5f in 58.45secs, and from the 400m mark to 200m he ran a furlong in 10.76secs, the fastest split of any of the races run over the course all weekend.

Golden Horn hardly tired in the final furlong either as he ran the final furlong in 11.55secs.

At the top of the straight Golden Horn took over in front, closely followed by Flintshire, New Bay and Erupt. At the finish Golden Horn still held the lead, 2l in front of Flintshire, who was a half-length in front of New Bay and Treve, followed by Erupt. The only horse to make ground on Golden Horn in the straight was Treve.

Golden Horn stayed 1m4f, and yet also had high-class tactical speed, and as he showed so impressively at Longchamp in October, he could run a furlong in 10.76secs Golden Horn will stand at Dalham Hall from 2016 and has every chance of becoming a top stallion. He had the temperament for a sustained career at the highest level and was as good if not better in October than he had been in May. Golden Horn stayed 1m4f, and yet also had high-class tactical speed, and as he showed so impressively at Longchamp in October he could run a furlong in 10.76secs, after running 1m2f in 2min4.92secs as a warm up!

He also has plenty of speed in his pedigree and is inbred to top milers Lorenzaccio and Nureyev.

His sire Cape Cross, who also tended to race from the front, has been a far better sire than most people expected when he retired to

Kildangan at £IR8,000 in 2000.

The other surprising aspect of Cape Cross’s stallion career is that despite being a miler, whose sire and dam were both top sprinters, he is an influence for stamina and around half of his three-year-old winners come over 1m2f or further.

Covert Love: an “extraordinary” investment If Golden Horn failed to make what was for his pedigree a high reserve of 200,000gns, about four times the average price for a Cape Cross colt in 2013, Covert Love was bought back at almost the average price for an Azamour filly the same year, €26,000.

They have both proved to have been two decisions which have become extraordinary investments for the vendors involved.

Covert Love is another front runner who is deceptively fast. She had looked like a handicapper in May, but having stepped up to become a Group 1 winner in July the Fomo syndicate’s filly improved yet again.

She showed fantastic speed and courage to win the Prix de l’Opera (G1) over 1m2f by a short head from Jazzi Top and the unlucky We Are. In the Irish Oaks the Hugo Palmertrained filly had been able to settle behind a pacemaker in a race run at a furious pace, but the Opera was run completely differently and Covert Love and Pat Smullen set a slow pace before sprinting up the straight.

euro racing The final 600m was run in 33.49secs, 0.77secs faster than the Arc, and Covert Love and Jazzi Top covered the second last furlong in 10.77secs, only a fraction slower than Golden Horn’s sprint to the line.

If Covert Love looked comfortable in front, Jazzi Top looked to be travelling like a winner just behind her but the pair quickened together and although Dettori and Jazzi Top came alongside the leader, they couldn’t get past the determined Azamour filly and were a short head behind on the line.

These two fillies will be competitive in Group 1s next year and are good enough to take on the colts in the best races too.

George Strawbridge’s We Are was unlucky in her attempt to win this race for the second time. Turning into the straight with 5f to run the daughter of Dansili was still in last place, some 1ol behind Covert Love. At the line she was in third place only 2l behind, some achievement considering the speed at which the leaders were travelling.

Ballydoyle: a winner for Ballydoyle

Ballydoyle followed in her sister Misty For Me’s footsteps taking the Prix Marcel Boussac. Can she continue and become a 1,000 Guineas winner too, just like big sis?

The two-year-old Group 1s were not as satisfactory as championship events. The fillies’ race, the Prix Marcel Boussac, was run at a much faster pace and produced a more convincing result.

The first 5f were run 2.15secs faster than the colt’s race – that is the equivalent of 11l and so a big difference. Even if the colts did accelerate in the last 2f, the final time was still nearly two seconds slower than the Marcel Boussac.

Coolmore’s Galileo filly Ballydoyle was comfortably on top at the finish defeating Jim Bolger’s Group 2 winner Turret Rocks, a daughter of Fastnet Rock out of a Galileo mare, by a length and a quarter.

Galileo does appear to be the only stallion who still regularly produces top two-year-olds who go on to be top middle-distance threeyear-olds.

Ballydoyle’s full-sister Misty For Me won this race too, and at three won the Irish 1,000 Guineas and the Pretty Polly Stakes over 1m2f.

The best of the French-trained fillies was Jean Claude Rouget’s Qemah who came from behind to take third place. Juddmonte’s filly Antonoe, who was a well beaten favourite and thrashed Qemah when they made their debuts together in Deauville, was found to have fractured her pelvis during the race.

Prince Faisal’s son of Makfi had been off the course since flopping at Royal Ascot, but returned to his very best without a prep race to defeat Limato by a length and a quarter.

The racing world will not return to Longchamp until the autumn of 2017 when the new stand is scheduled to be ready.

The old stand had been in place for 50 years and if the facilities it offered were in some ways outmoded, there will be plenty of nostalgia for the views it offered and above all for the paddock and the trees behind.

The old Longchamp was designed above all to give racegoers the best view of the spectacle, and of the horses themselves.

The catering was always ordinary and the moment the temperature dropped the place was uncomfortable, but there is not a stand left in Europe which offers a better view of the races themselves, and no paddock which creates such an atmosphere on the big days.

In the modern world comfort, entertaining, catering and television or videos screens are what people want, but there was a time when people went racing to watch horses race, and the old Longchamp was a marvellous place to do it.

by the slow early pace, which gave an advantage to those like the winner Ultra who raced close to the lead, and compromised the chances of many of the fancied horses who failed to settle during the early part of the race.

It was nevertheless an impressive performance from a colt who, as his trainer André Fabre pointed out afterwards, is bred to stay a lot further as a three-year-old.

Godolphin’s home-bred colt is by Manduro, a son of Monsun who stands at the Haras du Logis and who was also responsible for the three-year-old Vazirabad, an easy winner of a Group 2 on the Saturday of the Arc weekend over a 1m7f.

Ultra’s dam, the Nashwan mare Epitome, was bred by the late Gerald Leigh, who purchased Ultra’s second dam Proskona from the Niarchos family in 1995.

At the time Proskona was looking very

disappointing as none of her first six foals had been good enough for stakes races.

Nevertheless, she still interested Leigh as he already owned her half-sister Korveya, and at the time she had an outstanding yearling filly

by Woodman.

That yearling was Bosra Sham and Leigh bred the graded stakes winner Calista from Proskona, while Epitome became part of the package Sheikh Mohammed acquired from Eydon Hall following Leigh’s death.

Ultra may not stay far as all that – Bosra Sham herself is the only member of the family to stay as far as 1m2f.

Fabre had an excellent Arc weekend and is, as usual, is well clear of his rivals in the French trainers’ table.

Aside from Ultra, Flintshire and New Bay his stable also won the Prix de la Forêt with Make Believe, another winner who was

Tapit tops

Ahead of the Breeders’ Cup, Nancy Sexton finds that one thing is certain – Tapit will be crowned champion sire for the second year in succession

R

EGARDLESS of the results at the Breeders’ Cup, it seems that Tapit will end 2015 as America’s champion sire for the second consecutive year.

With just over two months of racing still left to play, his progeny have accumulated over $15.6 million in earnings, approximately $5 million more than his

nearest pursuer Medaglia D’Oro. Leading the way among his representatives is Tonalist, who built-up to his run in the Breeders’ Cup Classic by bagging his second Jockey Club Gold Cup at Belmont Park in early October by nearly 5l.

The race for leading two-year-old sire is not so clear cut, and the Breeders’ Cup results are likely to have played a role in deciding whether Coolmore’s Scat Daddy extends his lead at the top of the table or succumbs to the challenge of his studmate Uncle Mo. Either way, 2015 will be remembered as a breakthrough year for both stallions.

Scat Daddy has been a fine source of juvenile talent throughout his stud career, just as his sire Johannesburg and grandsire Hennessy were before him. Several lists credited him as North America’s leading first-crop sire of 2011 by a narrow margin over Hard Spun, and he went on to capitalise on that start over the next two seasons through the exploits of Nay Never and Lady Of Shamrock among others.

However, he has reached new heights this season thanks to a consistent flow of high-profile two-year-olds, amongst them Nickname, who became his 15th winner at the top level when successful in the Frizette Stakes at Belmont Park.

Scat Daddy’s current two-year-olds were bred the year following the success of his first crop and is duly his largest so far, numbering 154 foals.

In turn, it already numbers seven stakes winners – in addition to Nickname, the group includes Dirt runners of the ilk of Grade 2 Sorrento and Matron Stakes winner

Pretty N Cool alongside turf performers such as runaway Queen Mary Stakes winner Acapulco, Grade 2 With Anticipation Stakes winner Azar, Group 2 Summer Stakes winner Conquest Daddyo and Grade 3 winner Harmonize.

It’s a strong group, some of whom will no doubt will have represented him to good effect at the Breeders’ Cup. And while they continue to enhance his northern-hemisphere reputation, he also remains the hottest name in Chile by virtue of 12 Group 1 winners.

Nickname came into the Frizette having won her second start at Saratoga for Steve Asmussen and took the step up to Grade 1 company in her stride, drawing away to win as she liked by three-and-a-half lengths from the Jeremy Noseda-trained Nemoralia.

In the process, she became an important first Grade 1 winner for owners LNJ Foxwoods, the nom-de-plume of Larry, Nanci and Jaime Roth. The operation didn’t buy their first horse until 2012, but significant investment through agents Alex Solis and Jason Litt has reaped swift rewards.

At $350,000, Nickname was the most expensive Scat Daddy yearling filly sold at the 2014 Keeneland September Sale, but, just over a year on, is already the earner of $293,950.

LNJ Foxwoods also own recent Grade 3 Dogwood Stakes winner Super Majesty, another filly who could have represented them at the Breeders’ Cup. Nickname was bred by Michael Hui out of Nina Fever, a Listed-placed grand-daughter of Grade 3 winner Good Potential. Nina Fever secured her own slice of history back in April 2010 with a 6l debut victory at Keeneland to become the first winner for her sire, the ultimately disappointing Borrego.

Uncle Mo, meanwhile, is out on his own at the head of the leading first-crop sires’ list.

His runners have earned nearly $1.6 million to date, nearly twice that of the stallion in second, the Florida-based First Dude.

Not only that, his winners include two Grade 1 scorers in Nyquist, who pulled off the same Grade 1 FrontRunner Stakes and Del Mar Futurity double as American Pharoah, and Gomo, who looked a filly out of the top drawer when breaking her stakes maiden in the Alcibiades Stakes at Keeneland. Both are trained by Doug O’Neill on behalf of J. Paul Reddam’s Reddam Racing LLC. Uncle Mo has been gifted every opportunity to do well – his first crop numbers 165 foals – and his early success will

Uncle Mo has been gifted every opportunity to do well – his first crop numbers 165 foals – and his early success will have been warmly greeted by those looking for an outcross have been warmly greeted by those looking for an outcross. Granted, he is inbred three times to Northern Dancer, but as a son of the much-missed Indian Charlie, he is also an increasingly rare American member of the Grey Sovereign sire line.

Coolmore’s flagship American sire Giant’s Causeway, meanwhile, sired his 31st Group/ Grade 1 winner when Brody’s Cause defied his inexperience to take the Breeders’ Futurity.

The Dale Romans-trained colt, a $350,000 yearling purchase by owner Albaugh Family Stables, made a sweeping run from the back of the field under Corey Lanerie to collar Saratoga Special Stakes winner Exaggerator and win going away.

He is the third foal out of Woodbine Oaks runner-up Sweet Breanna, who now boasts the distinction of becoming the first Grade 1-producing daughter of Sahm.

O

ne of the most impressive performances during the opening week of Keeneland’s fall meeting came courtesy of Tepin, who barely came off the bridle to win the Grade 1 First Lady Stakes by 7l.

Winner of the Grade 1 Just A Game Stakes at Belmont Park earlier in the year, the First Lady came off the back of agonisingly narrow losses in the Grade 1 Diana Stakes and Grade 2 Ballston Spa Stakes.

In what is a coup for Fasig-Tipton, both Tepin and the runner-up, the Tom Dascombe-trained Dubawi filly Crowley’s Law, are catalogued to the company’s November Sale in Kentucky. Before then, Tepin, a half-sister to current Grade 2 winner Vyjack who is from the penultimate crop of the late Bernstein, will be a warm order to follow up in the Breeders’ Cup Mile.

Her victory came on the same loaded card as the Grade 1 Shadwell Mile, a race in which Grand Arch narrowly denied Arlington Million hero The Pizza Man to become the tenth Group/Grade 1 winner for Claiborne veteran Arch.

The Keeneland fall meeting once again lived up to its billing as a hub for competitive

Grade 1 racing, but its early days were marred by a quartet of high-profile fatalities that cast a shadow as it geared up for the Breeders’ Cup. Dual Grade 1-winning sprinter Rock Fall was working up to a start in the Breeder’s Cup Sprint when he suffered a fatal injury. His death came just days after his place had been confirmed alongside his sire Speightstown on next year’s stallion roster at WinStar Farm.

Grade 2 winner Skyring, recent Temperence Hill Invitational Stakes winner Tacticus and recent Troy Stakes were the other fatalities at Keeneland during the week of October 3 to 10, prompting track officials to issue a track review by Dr. Mick Peterson of Maine University. The review found that Keeneland’s Dirt surface met all of the premeet test criteria and all maintenance had been performed in accordance with protocols developed for the track.

In New York, owners Ken and Sarah Ramsey enjoyed a quickfire Belmont Grade 1 double courtesy of their Kitten’s Joy veterans Big Blue Kitten, who secured his fourth Grade 1 victory in the Joe Hirsch Turf Classic Invitational, and Stephanie’s Kitten, who successfully defended her title in the Flower Bowl Invitational a week later.

Now the winner of four Grade 1 races, Stephanie’s Kitten is catalogued once again to the Fasig-Tipton November Sale, where she was bought back last year for $3.95 million.

New York racegoers were also treated to a highly impressive display from Greenpointcrusader in the Grade 1 Champagne Stakes. He received two bumps leaving the gate and, after sitting out the back, was still out wide in fifth entering the straight.

However, such was his momentum on the sloppy track, that he swept to the lead and won going away by four-and-a-half lengths.

The Dominick Schettino-trained son of Bernardini – a May 14 foal – was one of two graded stakes winners on the day for his sire alongside Fioretti, successful in the Grade 2 Thoroughbred Club of America Stakes.

However, he also became the sixth stakes winner out of Oakbrook Farm’s excellent Cryptoclearance mare Avaknowsthecode.

Aisling Crowe chats to Aisling Kinane, Mark Gittins and Liam Norris about their roles in producing...

Shalaa the leading 2yo of 2015

Y

OU Never forget your first – first kiss, first love, first horse and certainly not your first Group 1 winner. However, the endless quest for that next good horse now unwinds, whether that is to breed another Group 1 winner as it is for Aisling Kinane and Mark Gittins, pin-hook one as in the case of Liam Norris or produce one as Jenny Norris will hope to do, for them Shalaa will always occupy that special position as the first Group 1 winner for the group in their respective pursuits.

racecourse, which has been intensified by the exploits of the now brilliant racehorse.

The foundations of that relationship have their origins in Newmarket when Gittins and Kinane, looking to expand their broodmare farm for their new base at Narraghmore, went looking at Keeneland and Newmarket in the autumn of 2008 for a mare with something “a little different”.

“We can’t go up against the big boys so we have to look for something with class but less obvious,” Gittins explains. “Ghurra was different, by War Chant and from a strong

Shalaa’s success in the Prix Morny (G1) at Deauville in late August and his follow-up victory in the Middle Park Stakes (G1) at Newmarket has cemented a bond between the three.

The son of Invincible Spirit was bred by Kinane and Gittins at their Castlefarm Stud in Kildare, and Norris bought him as a foal at Tattersalls in 2013. Through the colt a friendship has developed away from the

horse profile resulting offspring, two very capable performers who inherited their sire’s staying power. Dai Bando, a four-year-old remains in their ownership and is a twice Gradedplaced-winning hurdler, while the year-older Pearl Castle is a winner on the Flat and over hurdles.

For Ghurra’s third covering they decided to go for speed and selected Invincible Spirit as the stallion of choice.

“Something clicked and it just worked,” Kinane says. “He was a beautiful foal, everything you could look for in a racehorse.

He was correct with a great walk and a fabulous attitude from the start.”

“A real man of a horse from the beginning,” her husband adds.

The couple focus the sales element of their Castlefarm Stud on foals and this strapping colt was amongst their draft for the Tattersalls Foal Sale of 2013, which is where Norris enters the story.

“I wouldn’t buy many foals, maybe five or six,” says the Hampshire-based agent and breeder. “I love to pin-hook foals to sell as yearlings and that year I did buy two of the best foals in the sale – Shalaa and a fabulous colt by Zamindar. I loved Shalaa when I saw him: he was so professional and did everything so well. I love the stallion, too, so I was really interested.”

Norris knew Gittins through Eamon Reilly of BBA Ireland – they were often after the same sorts of fillies at the breeding sales and normally ended up liking the same horses.

He slightly bent his own rules when giving £100,000 for the foal, but Norris knew he was getting a gem at a good price.

However, the vendors were slightly disappointed with the final price.

“Although it was good for a foal, we thought he would make more as he was a fantastic colt, but, I guess, on paper the mare had not done it yet. Liam might agree with us that if he had been sold later in the day, he would have gone for a lot more,” reasons Gittins.

Once Norris and wife Jenny took the son of Invincible Spirit home to Hampshire, they knew that they had a potential star on his hands.

“He was such an easy horse,” Norris recalls.

“He took his preparation so easily and never took a lame step. I was positive about him from the first day to the last.”

With Kinane keeping in touch, checking on the colt’s progress, a friendship grew

Baby Shalaa: the young son of Invincible Spirit was captured on camera at the Irish National Stud

between the two farms, which has only been strengthened by what has transpired since Charlie Gordon-Watson bought him at Tattersalls last year for £170,000.

The identity of the purchaser then was a source of great encouragement for Norris.

“Charlie is a great judge so when he bought Shalaa, I felt that my own judgment had been

right about the colt,” he smiles.

Bought on behalf of Sheikh Joaan Al Thani’s Al Shaqab racing, the colt, then named Shalaa, was sent into training with John Gosden, whose skilful and patient handling allowed Shalaa the time needed to develop as a racehorse.

“

Good, active young horses are always going to be good-actioned ones and he definitely is. He was the pick of the paddock his debut – the owners, as the day’s sponsors, Gosden admits were keen to run but it all was a little too early in the colt’s education. Victory though was assured at the second time of asking when he ventured to the racecourse at the Rowley Mile for the first time.

Gosden’s following plan to eschew Royal Ascot in favour of the July meeting was the perfect decision in the eyes of his breeder.

And Shalaa vindicated his trainer’s patience by beating colts who had been placed in several of the Royal meeting’s juvenile contests to claim the 6f Group 2 July Stakes.

For Kinane, it was a whirlwind of a day.

“It was a big high and a bit of a blur,” she says. “We knew he would improve from his first run, but we didn’t expect him to run away from the field like that. He went through the Royal Ascot form.

“Frankie felt he was a Group 1 horse in the making, even at that stage, but high reputations have a habit of falling down,” adds Gittins, who was careful then to caution against the effects of running away with the elation.

Not in this case.

A further victory at that level was won high on the Sussex Downs when Shalaa added the Richmond Stakes to his July triumph. Kinane and Gittins, like at Newmarket, were there to witness Shalaa once again reign supreme.

For his next assignment, Gosden opted to send Shalaa to Deauville for the Group 1 Prix Morny. His breeders tried every form of transport they could to engineer a way to be at Deauville and to get to Doncaster for the sales, but it was not possible.

Four years’ ago, they purchased Alkhawarah, a half-sister to Ghurra, for just 26,000gns. Her yearling was to go through the ring at Doncaster and business had to take precedence.

They watched Shalaa become their first Group 1 winner from the Doncaster sales complex bar.

Dettori’s opinion of Shalaa had risen even further by this stage. The jockey told the entire world then that Shalaa was the best two-year-old he had sat on.

The upwardly mobile trajectory continued at Newmarket. Although Shalaa’s Middle

Park success was perhaps not so visually impressive, but after jumping out to make all, Dettori only had to twitch to get the horse to quicken, and hardly picked up his stick when the challengers arrived.

After the race, Ryan Moore has been reported elsewhere that he has never been so fast and speeds of 41mph were clocked.

For Norris, Shalaa’s quality has always been in evidence. “Good horses use themselves differently and they have such a good action,” he explains. “Good, active young horses are always going to be goodactioned ones and he definitely is. He was the pick of the paddock.”

Gittins has also been privileged enough to own a Group 1 winner when Lord Shanakill won the Prix Jean Prat, the horse to have made the breakthrough at the top level for

him as an owner. Having lived that life, he explains that he finds it more rewarding to breed a top-class winner.

“There is a different sort of attachment to a horse when you breed them,” he says. “When you buy one, as soon as its broken-in, then the horse is off to the trainer’s yard.

“When you breed a horse, you start with the mare, choose a stallion for her, you foal her down and you have the youngster for those months, feeding through the winter, preparing them for the sales – you really get to know them.”

Ghurra has a filly foal at foot from the last crop of High Chaparral and is in-foal to Charm Spirit, which would make next spring’s arrival a three-parts sibling to the Prix Morny winner.

A Born To Sea yearling colt out of Ghurra’s half-sister was the reason the couple had to watch the Deauville action in the bar at Doncaster. He sold for £65,000 to Will Edmeades.

Alkhawarah had another son by Born To Sea this year and she has returned to the son of Invincible Spirit for a third time. It could be an exciting future for her – Shalaa has proved that the combination of genes gets top-class results.

“When choosing stallions for our mares we go on the back of what the mares throw and the crossing of these two lines has worked for us. Born To Sea has made a great start to his sales career with really nice foals last year and it seems to have continued with his yearlings this year,” outlines Kinane.

Shalaa was one of the first foals to be born at the couple’s stud farm in Kildare, not Mogeely Stud in County Cork where they had previously operated from.

He is from the first group of foals who were conceived, born and raised in Narraghmore – for a Group 1 winner to emerge out of that first cycle is immensely thrilling and satisfying for the couple and their staff.

“It wasn’t easy,” Gittins says frankly. “We went through some very dark days and we all had to pull together and everyone worked hard so we could survive.

“It was tough, but we got through it and we have come out the other side, stronger than we were before.”

The first one is always the most memorable and whatever Shalaa goes on to do from here, his position is irreplaceable. However, the feeling is that for Castlefarm Stud, Mark and Aisling, as well as Liam and Jenny Norris, Shalaa is just the beginning.

Georgina Evans chats with Sam Hoskins of Kennet Valley Thoroughbreds about the great season the group’s syndicates have enjoyed this summer

he winners enclosure at Goodwood is no stranger to celebrations, but one of the biggest roars of the week at this year’s Glorious Goodwood meeting must have been that which greeted the success of Magical Memory in the Stewards’ Cup. The son of Zebedee, trained by Charlie Hills, powered home under Frankie Dettori to see off his 26 rivals and give his owners, a Kennet Valley Thoroughbreds syndicate, the thrill of a lifetime.

Just a week earlier, another of Kennet Valley Thoroughbred’s syndicates had roared home their grand campaigner Tullius in the York Stakes (G2), the sixth Pattern victory for the seven-year-old.

Those two victories are just highlights of a tremendous season for Kennet Valley Thoroughbreds which celebrated 11 winners

from 36 runs this season to mid-October and garnered over £400,000 in prize-money for the season, a record for the syndicates.

“We’ve had a lot of luck, but it has just been great,” says Kennet Valley’s racing manager Sam Hoskins, with more than a touch of understatement.

“We had four older horses running this summer, including Tullius who is just a legend, and, of course, Magical Memory.”

Magical Memory followed the pattern of many a Kennet Valley horse before him – well-bred enough without being out of the top drawer, and by a stallion, in this case Zebedee, who had yet to hit the heights of fashion. Purchased for €35,000 as a yearling, he was just the sort of horse that could give his 16-strong syndicate of owners some fun days out.

Magical Memory broke his maiden at the fourth time of asking at two, just after

kennet valley thoroughbreds finishing second to the subsequent Group 2 winner Ivawood on his third run, ended his juvenile season with a record of one win from six starts and a rating of 87 to start his threeyear-old season on.

Few would have predicted that his 2015 season would progress in the manner it did, via fourth place on his seasonal debut at Newmarket in April, to victory in a Leicester handicap in May to success in a major handicap at the Newmarket July meeting.

Nearly three weeks later, Magical Memory gave his owners the greatest day to remember when cruising to victory in the 6f cavalry charge that is the Stewards’ Cup at Glorious Goodwood, sent off as the 6-1 favourite and roared home a most popular winner under Frankie Dettori.

“

We’ve turned down some big money for him and he will be back next year – it’s just so exciting Just a month later, a seemingly audacious bid for the Betfred Sprint Cup (G1) at Haydock resulted in third place, over £60,000 in prize-money, and the chance for his owners to dream big over the winter of future riches next season.

“We’ve turned down some big money for him and he will be back next year,” Hoskins confirms. “It’s just so exciting. Charlie has always had faith in him; he is just a lovely big scopey horse and a gentleman as well.

“We’ve resisted running him again and have roughed him off for the year, and he will be back next year, hopefully starting off in a Listed where he should have a great chance.

Winning prize money is, of course, great but we want to win races – hopefully there will be bigger fish to fry!”

An attitude of winning races over prizemoney could be said to be the opposite of the ethos behind Kennet Valley Thoroughbreds when it first came into being.

The operation was founded in the late 1980s by Nick Robinson, along with Harry Herbert and Sir Michael Smurfit, with the specific aim of plundering the massive jackpot that accompanied the Cartier Million at

kennet valley thoroughbreds Phoenix Park, inaugurated by Goffs for its graduates.

Kennet Valley came agonisingly close to landing the dream at its first go when Miss Demure finished runner-up in the Cartier Million in 1988, followed home in third by French Pretender in the same ownership.

While the odds were not landed in that race, it is well worth noting that the talented Miss Demure had also landed the Lowther Stakes (G2) en route to Phoenix Park.

Robinson’s owners finished fourth in 1989 with Book The Band, and came close again in 1991 with Autocracy, while also enjoying early Group success with the Richmond Stakes (G2) winner Contract Law. Herbert went on to found the highly successful Highclere Racing syndicates, but Robinson continued with Kennet Valley Thoroughbreds, racing in the colours of his grandfather which are still carried by the syndicates’ horses today. The syndicates have enjoyed further success from small numbers of horses which included such luminaries as the multiple stakes winner Gateman.

Racing manager Sam Hoskins and bloodstock advisor Luke Lillingston look for yearlings at the sales who look as though they “can win at two with scope to go on at three”

I

n 2013, Robinson opted to take more of a back seat with the operation and Hoskins came on board as racing manager, Luke Lillingston as bloodstock advisor and the father and son team of Peter and Piers Winkworth acting as financial advisor and marketing respectively.

The operation raced eight horses this year, including the smart performers Maxwell and Bishops Leap, both of whom won three times.

The number of horses will be expanding to ten for 2016, with Roger Varian set to join the existing stable of trainers that includes Tullius’s trainer Andrew Balding, along with Hills, Ralph Beckett and Richard Hannon.

Each trainer will take receipt of a new recruit to the syndicates for next year, with Hoskins and Lillingston busy at the yearling sales so far, purchasing yearlings by such as Zoffany, Dandy Man, Sir Percy and Rock Of Gibraltar.

“In time it would be lovely to have more but for now, ten is a good number as it keeps it personal,” Hoskins explains. “We will have five babies next year and five older horses which is a good mix. We are not looking at the sales for a limited two-year-old type, but for something that can win at two but has the scope to go on at three.”

He adds: “The main thing is to give people a lot of fun. We have 16-share syndicates and

“

Our owners are a real mixture but what brings everyone together is that they are real racing enthusiasts

it means that people can get involved with a nice horse at an affordable price. Some of our owners will have several shares and some just have one, but it gives them a chance to be involved. We hold an annual yearling parade and lunch and there are trips to the trainer’s yard as well, of course, as the races.

“Our owners are a real mixture but what brings everyone together is that they are real racing enthusiasts. They may not all be experts, but they love racing and that makes it fun for everyone.”

kennet valley thoroughbreds The admirable Tullius has been a real stalwart for the syndicates: he won the York Stakes (G2) in 2015, taking his race wins to double figures and his prize-money earnings to over £400,000

Syndicates are hardly a new phenomenon, but their popularity shows no signs of waning, and operations such as Kennet Valley, along with others such as Highclere Racing and Middleham Park Racing have put the dream of racing glory into the reach of many.

Hoskins, who also still operates his Hot To Trot racing syndicates in partnership with Lillingston, is unsurprisingly a vocal proponent of the concept of syndicate ownership.

“It is good fun for people. First, you get to divide the risk and also the cost, which has to be important in these days of dwindling prize-money. But most of all, you get to enjoy it with other people. I know from experience that it is good fun to celebrate a win with other people and to share the fun – or even the commiserations!” Hoskins says.

“It can also lead on to outright ownership, which can only be a good thing for racing.

There are some people who will only ever want to have shares in syndicates, but there are also a number of people involved who do have the means to own horses outright and that has got to help ownership numbers.

“Most racecourses are getting a lot better at helping syndicate owners with badges and lunch which makes a real difference.

“Sheikh Mohammed doesn’t need to be entertained with lunch at Leicester or somewhere, but for a syndicate like ours, it makes a real difference to be given enough badges and a buffet lunch. Jockey Club Racecourses in particular are fantastically helpful.”

With Tullius still doing battle, thoughts of further glory for Magical Memory and several promising yearlings waiting in the wings, there is plenty to keep the Kennet Valley Thoroughbred syndicate members dreaming over the winter months of perhaps even better to come.

asian racing

Sun rise in the East M

It is all change in Asia, reports Paul Haigh, with the sad demise of the Singapore International races and the continual growth of the China Horse Club

uch of racing’s attention is focused west in the autumn.

But there are stirrings, rumblings and activities in Asia too, and none of them should be ignored.

At the September 19 China Horse Club meeting in Wuhan (one of those Chinese cities hardly anyone in the West has heard of, but almost all of which are actually bigger than London) a visiting New Zealander made a valid point during a discussion in a bar. If

the Chinese government (which means Xi Jing Ping) were to relent on the matter of releasing racing from the bonds placed round it by Mao Tse Tung, there wouldn’t be enough thoroughbreds in the world to fill the number of horses China would require.

What that would do to the value of bloodstock is anyone’s guess, but you don’t need to be a trained economist to know that when demand exceeds supply, particularly in luxury goods, prices take off like rockets at a firework display.

The chances of this happening are, of course, slight, but they are not negligible.

The Romans knew how to rule an empire, or at least how to keep people at home content while they got on with doing so. They did it with “Bread and Circuses”.

Nobody’s suggesting there might be a sudden surge in amphitheatre construction in China, but such is the appetite for betting in the world’s most populous country (on everything from the stock exchange to mah-jong) that if ever it were legalised,

punting on racing might perform much the same function for China as gladiators, Christians and lions did for Rome.

China is by no means the homogeneous monolith westerners sometimes imagine.

In fact, one of its government’s main preoccupations is how to avoid restlessness among its various ethnic groups and newly developing social classes.

If Xi could overcome his hostility to the very notion of gambling, he has the example of Hong Kong on his doorstep as a demonstration of how a national addiction can be harnessed for the public good. At the same time he could provide the population with a major distraction that might help them forget reasons for discontent – whether those are fluctuations on the online markets or the depredations of unscrupulous developers on a put-upon peasantry.

But first, before indulgence in such possibly fanciful speculation, there is a sad tale to tell, and that is of the withdrawal of one Asian racing nation from the cut-throat business of staging international festivals.

Many observers, particularly in the US where racing has been fighting a rear-guard action for years against less cerebral forms of gambling, will look at the Singapore Turf Club’s decision to discontinue its Singapore International Airlines Cup and the KrisFlyer Sprint and mutter grimly: “Casinos”.

Certainly the legalisation of casinos in 2009 was a blow to Singapore racing, whose turnover dipped that year and has more or less flat-lined ever since.

But the challenge from casinos was not so much the trigger for discontinuation, more a precondition, and just one of several preconditions at that.

Others were the economic downturn which began about the time the casinos opened, from which recovery has been slow and which in the last couple of years has seen turnover in the casinos themselves flatten out.

“There is no simple answer,” says Soong Tze Ming, STC’s vice president whose efforts played a major part in the setting up of the international races at the turn of the century.

“People forget that the STC is owned by the government and that we always have to look at our priorities in that light,” he says. “We have to ask ourselves questions such as how are our owners and is the industry benefiting from the international races and whether we do still need them?”

The SIA Cup and the KrisFlyer Sprint, like international races in other much larger

“

People forget that the STC is owned by the government and that we always have to look at our priorities in that light jurisdictions such as Hong Kong and Japan, were never money makers. Rather they were loss leaders aimed at raising the global profile of Singapore racing. They dented turnover rather than increasing it as local punters remained hesitant to invest too heavily either on or against incoming horses whose abilities they couldn’t easily assess.

“The decision has been hanging there for the last two or three years and at the end of the day we just had to bite the bullet,” says Soong.

asian racing Perhaps the crucial factors were that Hong Kong horses have been dominating both races for the last five years or so, and, with the arrival of the “Championships” in Sydney in April, the Australians who used to help provide opposition have been less and less inclined to travel to Singapore, which they used to make a stopover on their way to Royal Ascot.

European horses tended to come less and less often as the May date, the only viable slot available in the international racing calendar, was a poor fit for real stars who wanted to aim at the home season.

Is Singaporean racing as a whole as saddened about the decision as Soong himself must be, or as the group of international racing journalists who loved the meeting and looked on it as one of the highlights of the racing year?

“No,” says Soong. “There has been very little hoo-ha here. Owners and trainers have just reacted by saying ‘Ok we’ll just get on

The growth of casinos, along with recession, have contributed to the end of the international races

www.internationalthoroughbred.net

asian racing with targeting our own major races’”.

The unspoken conclusion to that sentence being “our own major races we can win without having to beat invaders from our powerful Asian neighbours”.

One point Soong wants to make clear is that it was not the sponsors who pulled the plug.

The Singapore Airlines contract had come to an end, but they would have been happy to renew.

And there was no question at all of their being offended by the inaugural China Horse Club (CHC) meeting in February, whose major race, restricted to horses owned by CHC members, with S$3.05 million (£1.6 million, $2 million) prize-money on offer, just surpassed the SIA Cup’s S$3 million to make it the richest race ever run in the island republic.

The main factor seems to have been the threat of continued domination of the events by the STC’s more powerful neighbour to the north, Hong Kong, which has mopped up the prizes in the last few years as the quality of opposition from further afield stagnates.

The upwardly mobile China Horse Club

The CHC, for which Singapore is now a major base outside the Chinese mainland, is one of the suns that seem to be rising, while the Singapore International meeting’s sadly sets.

One of the CHC’s earliest successes since its launch in 2013 was that year’s biggest race, the Singapore Gold Cup (not to be confused with the SIA Cup) with its first runner in the race, Tropaios.

For the two years of its existence the CHC has been something of a mystery to Western observers who have not really understood what it is setting out to achieve – or what keeps it afloat.

After its meeting in Wuhan on September 29, an event which surpassed its previous ones in China at Shanghai last October and (by some way) at Hohhot the previous year, its purpose and its business plan is becoming much less opaque.

What it is not is an organisation intending to take over the running of racing in China if that ever does become viable simply as an entertainment or if (we can dream) there is any relaxation of the government’s prohibition on betting.

What it IS is an ownership club which finances itself through the investment of the new Chinese rich, who fork out up to $1.25

Teo Ah Khing of the China Horse Club

One of the reasons the CHC model baffles westerners is that this could not possibly work in any other country in the world

million each for the top tier of membership. It then offers them the enticement of an entrée to a ‘lifestyle’ that includes a super luxurious – well, what can we call it? – dude ranch in New South Wales, and access to the club’s own resort Alpina in the Swiss Alps. Its race meeting are essentially advertisements for what the club has to offer.

One of the reasons the CHC model baffles westerners is that this could not possibly work in any other country in the world, simply because there aren’t enough extremely rich people to go round.

But it appears to be working in China, simply because there are – and because those who are are seeking ways of spending their

wealth are becoming increasingly convinced that owning racehorses, not just in China but around the world, it’s a chic way to go.

It is the achievement of Teo Ah Khing, founder and chairman of the CHC, to have been the first to realise this was possible.

There are now 128 (his figure) such clubs in China. When asked the night before the Wuhan event whether CHC was the biggest of those 128, his answer was typically enigmatic and typically smiling: “You judge tomorrow”.

Wuhan has a proper racecourse, with a grandstand that would stand comparison with that of any of of the best courses in Britain except Ascot. A giveaway though that it is seriously underused is the compacted film of dust on many of the seats, and a clear indication why as there are the rows of empty betting windows, constructed during the optimistic time when the racecourse was built.

More than 13,000 attended on September 19. They weren’t movers and shakers, although there were plenty of them from around the world enjoying fine buffets in dining rooms in the stands. They were just Chinese fans who knew it was free, knew they couldn’t bet, but came along and brought their kids anyway.

How many of them came to catch a glimpse of Longines “ambassador” Aaron Kwok, a figure in Cantopop who has no exact counterpart in western culture whose finely chiselled features adorned posters all over the place and to whom was attributed the debatable claim that “Elegance is an attitude”, is hard to quantify.

But they came. And they enjoyed themselves – particularly the kids. Teo saw to it that the CHC didn’t dominate too completely by not entering all his best horses.

But there was interesting racing to watch too.

So how is the CHC doing? It’s already well known that it had the Derby winner Australia, or at least a share of him, during its first year of operation thanks to Teo’s and the CHC’s continuing co-operation and association with Coolmore. (At Wuhan Tom Magnier again represented his father John).

It recently passed its one 100th winner worldwide at a minor meeting in Australia.

More significantly it just had its first winner in the US, albeit in a $30,000 claimer, but this was a horse (ex-Coolmore) which had previously been trained in China by the CHC’s New Zealand-born trainer Quinton Cassidy.

More significantly still is the fact that the recently crowned Australian Horse of the

asian racing Year, the four-time Group 1 winner Dissident, is one of theirs.

And most significant of all perhaps is the amount they are spending at sales worldwide.

At Tattersalls in October the group’s outlay was some 5,700,000gns – albeit that some horses were bought in progressive partnerships with similar big-buying entities.

That was for 10 lots at an average value of 570,000gns, and included the Frankel colt ex Model Queen at 670,000gns.

Say what you like about the CHC – and a lot of people have with what now looks to have been pretty wild inaccuracy – it is not an organisation that should ever be mentioned in the same sentence as Walt Disney’s most famous creation.

When asked whether his members spending power had been damaged by recent upheavals on the Chinese stock markets Teo insisted he didn’t know any of them who taken a hit. This seems more plausible when you consider the levels of advice plutocrats gets nowadays. It’s the middle-class online potterers who take the punishment when indexes drop 40 per cent as they did in China during the summer.

Now for the other development in China that should shake the racing world a bit.

On November 7 the Hong Kong Jockey Club will be staging a race meeting at Chengdu (another of those huge Chinese cities few outside Asia have ever heard of).

This will be run by the HKJC on exactly the same lines and using exactly the same rules, and officials for enforcing them, as any race meeting at Sha Tin or Happy Valley. For years the HKJC has been preparing and positioning itself to provide a template for racing in China if or when it becomes a viable possibility. Now they are moving, and they would not be doing so if they felt this was a pointless enterprise.

There is no competition and certainly no conflict of interest between the HKJC and the CHC. One is the most successful racing organisation in the world; the other is an emergent ownership enterprise in a country with many billionaires. Both the HKJC CEO Winfried Engelbrecht-Bresges and Teo Ah Khing emphasise the absence of a contest.

The HKJC’s ambition, though it would be unlikely to do anything so clumsy as to admit it, is to provide for mainland China what it is already providing for Hong Kong. And the HKJC with accumulated billions in reserve, does not, and has no need to, chase wild geese.

A repetition of the figures may not hurt.

The HKJC is Hong Kong’s biggest tax payer

The race meeting at Wuhan was the organised by the CHC in part as a PR event for the club, and, left, was attended by Tom Magnier and Sheikh Fahad.

Below, Aaron Kwok, the Longines “ambassador” and a dancer and singer, was a draw for the crowd, many of whom might have gone racing just to see him

as well as by far its biggest charitable donor, contributing more than 10 per cent of the Hong Kong government’s income.

Its turnover overtook that of the United States in 2011 and has continued to extend the gap since then.

There are 7 million people in Hong Kong.

There are 1.3 billion people in China.

Will the Chinese government relent on his current position? No one knows except perhaps Xi Jing Ping.

But there are hugely reputable organisations ready to take advantage if it does – and at least one, the CHC, already taking advantage of the present situation.

A Golden autumn

norelands stud

Norelands Stud has a great draft of foals to offer this autumn and has enjoyed a fantastic year on the racecourse – in part courtesy of another owner’s runner.

Aisling Crowe meets Harry McCalmont

B

A bunch of filly foals enjoying the autumn sunshine

URNISHED golds, reds imbued with the zing of fresh hewn copper, the yellows of ripening lemons all endowed with a second chance in the embrace of the later maturing sun.

Golden light bathes the Nore valley and the horses who graze the verdant pastures that interrupt the auburn woods which dominate the slopes, warming them in its late autumn glow.

Amongst the mares, foals and yearlings basking in the October sun that drenches Norelands Stud in County Kilkenny, is a mare who has already augmented the illustrious history of the 300-acre farm she now calls home.

Fleche D’Or, a nine-year-old unraced daughter of Dubai Destination, is the dam of Derby, Irish Champion Stakes and Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe hero Golden Horn.

In the century that has passed since the McCalmont family first began breeding racehorses by the banks of the river Nore in 1912, scions of the turf have created an indelible link between this limestone haven in Kilkenny and the global racing world.

From The Tetrarch, whose final resting place is in neighbouring Ballylinch Stud, once part of the McCalmont estate, through to his son Tetratema, to Mesopotamia and in this millennium Ace, Hawkeye and Power, the McCalmont family has provided a nursery

www.internationalthoroughbred.net

67

norelands stud on the shores of the river Nore to 15 Classic winners and multiple Group 1 winners.

Fleche D’Or had already given birth to the foal who would grow up to win four Group 1s in 2015 for his breeder Anthony Oppenheimer, when Harry McCalmont and Matt Gilsenan, manager of Norelands, purchased her at Tattersalls in December 2012.

“We try to buy mares from big, private, owner-breeders,” explains Harry McCalmont, current owner and custodian of this sylvanian idyll.

“They tend to breed all their mares to good stallions and send them to good trainers too so there is always the decent chance of a mark up in the family.”

When he bought Fleche D’Or, McCalmont spied the possibility for such improvement in her page but he never imagined just how high the bay mare would leap.

He smiles: “I don’t think we ever expected a mark up quite this good for her! The Oppenheimers send mares here to board and they are fantastic breeders. It is great for them to breed and own such a good horse.”

Added to the undeniable promise of a golden future for Fleche D’Or, her looks and pedigree drew the attention of McCalmont and Gilsenan to her entry in the sales catalogue.

“There is always the chance of something happening, but Fleche D’Or was a very correct, very smart mare when we saw her,” says Gilsenan, who had initially planned to spend three years at Norelands but has remained there for almost a quarter of a century and has made the picturesque valley his home.

F Harry McCalmont: was hoping for an update in the Fleche D’Or pedigree, but did not quite expect it to be as good as Golden Horn!

leche D’Or was carrying a Champs Elysees foal when she moved to Norelands and that filly was sold at Goffs Orby Sale in 2014 for €150,000. She is now in training with William Haggas as yet unraced, though with obvious hopes she may have inherited at least a smidgen of her older sibling’s talent.

McCalmont sent Fleche D’Or to Acclamation and the yearling filly will shortly leave Norelands for the Newmarket yard of John Gosden, who has expertly steered the career of Golden Horn, and guided Eastern Belle, the first foal out of Fleche D’Or, to a Listed success before the four-year-old daughter of Champs Elsyees was sent to race

“

norelands stud mares is not a task undertaken lightly

by Norelands’ steward. According to his manager, McCalmont does not shirk on study or research into pedigrees and stallions in the months leading up to spring.

McCalmont explains the reasoning that guides his study.

“I like to use proven stallions as much as possible; I will send the mares to younger stallions if I feel it is worth the risk but I don’t take many chances with first-season sires. If we liked the stallion and he was a very good racehorse, then we might go for an unproven sire but mainly I prefer to use established horses,” he explains.

Along with breeding potential Classic winners and quality racehorses, the farm boards about a dozen mares for clients and more than 50 mares arrive in Kilkenny every spring mainly from England and France, to foal down, be covered by Irish stallions and return home in-foal.

Sales consigning forms another prong and this year Norelands has 28 foals catalogued at Tattersalls, a mixture of home-breds and those to be consigned on behalf of clients.

Foals are what the farm has founded its

in the US by the Oppenheimers.

Still unnamed, the Acclamation filly will carry the sky blue and red silks of Norelands Stud when she steps onto a racecourse.

The hope is that Fleche D’Or will have transmitted a soupçon of Golden Horn’s ability through the umbilical cord and after a desired successful career on the track, the Acclamation filly will return home to join her mother in a broodmare band which hovers around 15 in number.

Fleche D’Or is not the only Classicproducing mare to currently reside at Norelands Stud and Frappe may have a thing or two to say about the young mare’s attempts to usurp her throne.

Along with 2000 Guineas winner Power, who also won the Coventry Stakes (G2) as a juvenile, Frappe has given birth to a couple of Ribblesdale Stakes (G2) winners in the shape of Thakafaat and Curvy, who won the most recent renewal of the race.

“We enjoyed some great days out with Power and he is the best horse we have probably bred in recent years,” reports McCalmont. “He has got a chance as a sire, his first crop are selling well as yearlings

and it would be nice if he could go on to be a successful stallion. We breed a mare or two to him every year.”

Applauded, a half-sister to Power, by Royal Applause, returned to Norelands for her breeding career and has already produced a winner by Oasis Dream.

“We have Applauded here and we would love to keep another daughter of Frappe if she has a filly again... hopefully she will,” says McCalmont.

clients who don’t sell their stock as foals but 90 per cent of our sales are foals.”

Applauded’s Oasis Dream colt is among the home-breds in the Norelands draft at Tattersalls this December. A full-brother to Mirage, unbeaten on her sole start at two this year, the bay colt is very closely related to Power and is Lot 1219.

He will be joined in Newmarket by an Invincible Spirit colt out of Silk Trail (Lot 1159). He is from a black-type laden family and Silk Trail herself was a winner at three.

Calculated risks were taken on a couple of first-season stallions, namely Camelot, the dual Derby winner who came so close to immortality, and Declaration Of War. Lot 1259 is a filly by the thrice Classicwinning son of Montjeu out of Effervesce, a winning daughter of Galileo and half-sister to Group winner Hitchens.

Her first foal is Qeyaadah, a maiden winner

on his debut, by Acclamation and she has a yearling filly by Power.

Declaration Of War was the first son of War Front to cause a stir in Europe and a colt from his first crop is among the Norelands draft. Since repatriated to Ashford Stud from Coolmore’s Tipperary base, European-bred progeny of the Queen Anne and Juddmonte International Stakes winner will be rarer.

Solar Event is the Galileo dam of Lot 1186 and she is out of the Classic-placed, Group 3 winner Time Away, a grand-daughter of multiple Group 1 winner Time Charter.

There are bound to be some gems within the draft, their future as yet unwritten, but McCalmont’s wish for the future is simple.

“We would love to breed a Derby winner ourselves. We will keep trying to breed good racehorses and hopefully get more right than wrong,” he smiles.

From her vantage point in a paddock atop the hill at Stoneyford, Fleche D’Or can gaze down on the Nore valley, the silver of the river as it meanders towards Waterford and the Irish Sea glinting amongst the autumn leaves and the ancient woodlands which hug the gentle slopes.

The ladies’ man

Dubai Destination has found his niche as a broodmare sire, writes Alan Porter

dubai destination

I

t’s said that justice deferred is justice denied, but in the case of Dubai Destination, he’s deferred doing himself justice for many years, and in more than one role. He has now arrived at an unexpected redemption.

Dubai Destination was bred by Calumet Farm and in the summer of 2000 he made the short journey from his birthplace to the Keeneland July Sale. He was bought there for $1,500,000 by John Ferguson Bloodstock on Dubai Destination at Rathbarry Stud.

He now stands as a NH sire, but he has been making a name for himself this summer as a top-class Flat broodmare sire

behalf of Sheikh Mohammed.

Sent into training with David Loder, Dubai Destination started as a 1-2 favourite for a 6f maiden, and looked likely to win until caught close home by Waldenburg – who at the time was highly rated, but who was never to win another race.

Dubai Destination, however, was off the mark next time out taking a 7f maiden at Newmarket by 3l. He then faced a sterner test in the Champagne Stakes (G2), but proved more than equal to the task, scoring by a length from Rock Of Gibraltar.

Then a leading contender for next year’s Classics, Dubai Destination was transferred to the Godolphin Racing operation to spend the winter in Dubai.

In the spring, he was a leading fancy for the 2,000 Guineas (G1) until training problems

A former life: Dubai Destination after winning the Champagne Stakes as a juvenile

caused him to miss the race. He reappeared instead in the Predominate Stakes, a race in which he failed to get the trip when beaten 2l

by Coshocton.

Dubai Destination was then away from the track for 13 months, his next race coming in a mile conditions race at Nottingham in which he sauntered home 6l clear.

Royal Ascot saw him equally dominant against much tougher opposition in the Queen Anne Stakes – run that year as a Group 1 for the first time – by 4l.

With this effort under his belt, Dubai Destination appeared ready to confirm the hopes long held for him, and to take his place among Europe’s elite milers.

He had the opportunity to do just that in the Prix Jacques le Marois (G1) in which he started an even-money favourite, but he failed to produce the turn of foot evident at Royal Ascot, staying on at one pace to finish fifth, beaten 4l by the winner Six Perfections.

Given a chance to redeem himself in the Queen Elizabeth II Stakes (G1), he could only produce a performance that brought his career to an ignominious end, finishing last of eight to Falbrav.

Despite the disappointments of his last two outings, Dubai Destination retired to his owner’s Dalham Hall Stud as an exciting stallion prospect.

While not exactly consistent, he’d certainly done enough in his wins in the Champagne Stakes (G2) and Queen Anne Stakes (G1) to demonstrate a very high level of natural talent.

He also possessed a top-drawer pedigree.

His sire Kingmambo – by Mr. Prospector out of the great mare Miesque – was a European champion three-year-old miler, and one of the most successful international stallions of his era.

His dam, the Alleged mare Mysterial, subsequently produced Librettist, who took the Prix du Moulin (G1) and Prix Jacques Le Marios (G1) as well as the Group-winning Secret Number.

Out of Mysteries, a Group-placed daughter of Seattle Slew, Mysterial was a half-sister to Agnes World, a sprint star in Japan, and winner of the July Cup (G1) and Prix de l’Abbaye (G1) in Europe, as well as being a champion sprinter and miler in Japan.

Dubai Destination’s stud career certainly started off well enough, his first crop of twoyear-olds included Ibn Khaldun, who won four as a juvenile, ending the campaign with a 3l victory in the Racing Post Trophy (G1).

Postponed, seen here winning the Group 1 King George and Queen Elizabeth Stakes, is out of the Dubai Destination mare Ever Rigg

Unfortunately, however, Dubai Destination again flattered to deceive. Ibn Khaldun finished unplaced in the 2,000 Guineas (G1) first time out at three, and then wasn’t seen out again until he was five, when he ran off the board twice at Meydan.

Ultimately, Dubai Destination’s first crop, which numbered 112 foals produced just two other stakes winners – Rosa Del Dubai, who took the Premio Mario Incisa (G3), and Meeriss, successful in the Stardom Stakes.

What is more surprising, astonishing even, is that although Dubai Destination has sired another eight northern-hemisphere crops, Ibn Khaldun remains his only winner at the highest level.

Overall, he is now represented by 20 northern-hemisphere sired black-type winners, including Family One, who took the Prix Robert-Papin (G2) and Prix du Bois (G3), and Top Trip, successful in the Prix Hocquart (G2), as well as the Group 3 scorers Alanza, Dhaamer, Farraaj, Evading Tempete, Saluki and Dancer Destination.

Dubai Destination’s efforts as a shuttle sire were even less rewarding with just five stakes winners from 439 foals, none emerging from a first crop of 101 foals and only three taking graded stakes races.

In 2010, Dubai Destination moved to

Dubai Destination’s current broodmare’s three-year-old crop has, of course, produced Golden Horn, who is set to be announced the champion European three-year-old stand under the Rathbarry Stud umbrella in County Cork, Ireland, and he stood the most recent season at their NH facility, Glenview Stud, at a fee of €1,500.

With that move, Dubai Destination looked set to disappear from both the memories of mainstream Flat breeders, and from significance in top-class pedigrees. That, however, was not taking into account his daughters.

The first runners out of Dubai Destination mares didn’t reach the racetrack until 2011, and his first crop of any size as a broodmare sire came that year too, which consisted of 45 foals.

That crop is headed by Postponed who won the Glasgow Stakes and Great Voltigeur Stakes (G2) at three, and who this year added the Prix Foy (G2) and King George VI & Queen Elizabeth Stakes (G1).

Other stakes winners from that crop are the excellent filly Ihtimal, successful in the May Hill Stakes (G2), Sweet Solera Stakes (G3), UAE Oaks (G3) and UAE 1,000 Guineas, and the black-type winning and the Group and Graded-placed Eastern Belle.

Dubai Destination’s current broodmare three-year-old crop has, of course, produced Golden Horn, who is set to be announced the champion European three-year-old after his wins in the Feilden Stakes, Dante Stakes (G2), Epsom Derby (G1), Eclipse Stakes (G1) and Irish Champion Stakes (G1) and his imperious victory in the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe (G1). He also has Dutch Connection, winner of the Acomb Stakes (G3), Jersey Stakes (G3) and twice Group 1 placed, as well as the Listed scorers Lexington Times and Eshera.

There are also already a pair of two-yearold stakes winners out of Dubai Destination mares – the Molcombe Stakes (G3) scorer Kachy, and Zapel, who has won four times in Italy already, twice in Listed races.

The results give Dubai Destination

77

dubai destination mares the impressive total of ten stakes winners from 123 starters (8.1 per cent) in the northern-hemisphere. He also has a southern-hemisphere black-type winner from one of his daughters, the multiple graded winner Slightly Sweet.

The strongest affinity to date for Dubai Destination mares appears to be with stallions from the Danzig line.

Golden Horn and the stakes-placed Always Smile are both by Cape Cross, and both out of mares inbred to Kingmambo’s broodmare sire, Nureyev.

Cape Cross is a son of Green Desert, and that horse is also the grandsire of Paco Boy (Desert Style), responsible for Lexington Times. That horse is an outcross at five generations, but his dam is inbred 3x3 to Mr. Prospector.

Eastern Belle, a half-sister to Golden Horn, is by Champs Elysees, who is a brother to Dansili, from the Danehill branch of Danzig,

while Danehill’s son Oratorio, is sire of Eshera.

Ihtimal, a half-sister to Always Smile, is

by Shamardal, from the Storm Cat branch of Northern Dancer, and is inbred 4x4 to Mr. Prospector, the grandsire of Shamardal’s dam.

Northern Dancer is also in the male-line of the 2013 stakes-winning juvenile duo of Kachy and Zapel, both by Pivotal’s son, Kyllachy, and therefore with a double of Pivotal’s grandsire, Nureyev.

Postponed and Dutch Connection are both products of a Mr. Prospector/Mr. Prospector cross. Postponed is by Dubawi, a horse who is crossing very well back over Mr. Prospectorline mares (although we suspect with Mr. Prospector back in the fourth generation of his pedigree, Dubawi is really his own man rather than “a Mr. Prospector line sire”).

Dutch Connection and his stakes-placed sister Dutch Romance are both by Dutch Art,

a grandson of Machiavellian, who has also broodmare sire of Ihtimal’s sire, Shamardal.

The other black-type scorer from the Mr. Prospector line out of a Dubai Destination mare is Whispering Gallery, whose wins at that level have been achieved in India.

He is by Miswaki’s son Bachelor Duke and has Mr. Prospector 3x4, Seattle Slew 3x5 and the very close relatives Lisaleen/Nureyev 3x5.

By way of contrast, the Australian stakes winner out of a Dubai Destination mare, Slightly Sweet – by Red Ransom’s son, Charge Forward – is an outcross at five generations.

As a result primarily of the efforts of Golden Horn and Postponed, the offspring of the daughters of Dubai Destination have earned more win prize-money in England and Ireland than any other broodmare sire, and he sits second to Danehill by total prize money.

So perhaps justification for the hopes held for Dubai Destination are deferred no longer.

genetic updates

More to the speed gene than just your “Ts and Cs”

Byron Rogers of Performance Genetics explains the latest developments in the equine field and outlines the importance of the “SINE Insertion”

I

n April this year, following the results of a commissioned study executed by Clive Webb Carter Bloodstock Services, the British Thoroughbred Breeders’ Association (TBA) launched a campaign requesting industry support to prevent the decline of the British stayer.

The report highlighted that the percentage of high-class stayers with Group 1 performance, Timeform rated 115 or higher, has fallen by nearly 30 per cent in the last five years. It concluded that the number and quality of proven staying sires in Great Britain is in decline.

The TBA called upon stakeholders, including the British Horseracing Authority and racecourses, to collectively renew their efforts to support a review and protect a vital part of the sport’s heritage.

This is a complex and somewhat paradox invoking dilemma: like the chicken and egg scenario, which came first?

Are breeders responding to the commercial pressures that they are under to make money (or at least not lose too much) by selecting stallions and mares who are predominately speedy? Or is the racing environment, including prize-money, incentivising breeders to purchase their future breeding stock from a pool dominated by speed?

The answer to this problem is made increasingly difficult by the fact that the intergenerational age for the thoroughbred is eight years. This means that to bring significant change the population, or at least a portion of it, will take at least a decade if not two; the

80

www.internationalthoroughbred.net

move towards speed having taken place at least as long, if not longer.

To deal with the issue, we have to also recognise what has driven the selection towards speed and how we can begin to reverse the process.

Science has now reached the point where it is able to help in this regard.

Myostatin, a protein produced by muscle cells to inhibit muscle growth and create differentiation, is encoded by the MSTN gene.

In the thoroughbred, this gene is widely known as the “speed gene,” with changes in genetic code in and near MSTN associated with optimal race distances.

A recent paper by Petersen, et al., found a strong link between variations in MSTN and muscle fibre type – that is, variations within myostatin influence the makeup of the muscle fibre type in terms of the ratio of Type I (distance) and Type II (sprinting) in the muscle.

Despite the now commonly known C:C, C:T, and T:T variation, it is now apparent that the likely causative mutation of this muscle fibre type differentiation is not the C:T variation, but rather a SINE insertion (Short Interspersed Elements), which, in thoroughbreds, is a sequence of genetic code either absent, found in a single copy, or found in a double copy.

Horses that lack the SINE insertion completely are generally distance horses, while those with a single copy are milers and those with both are sprinters.

But as with anything else in genetics, it is not straightforward. Horses such as Kingsgate

Kingsgate Native (red): his genetic make-up ensured that he was a true sprinter

Native and Somnus, both double copy for the SINE insertion, are sprinters, but so is Dubawi Heights, a winner at Grade 1 level at 1m2f in North America.

Breeders’ Cup Sprint winner Cajun Beat is a single copy SINE insertion horse, so, based on his genotype, he should be a miler, but so is Jessicabeel, winner of the Sydney Cup over 2m in Australia!

It is apparent in other breeds that there are genes outside of MSTN that effect muscle fibre type composition, and similarly, while

“

Horses such as Kingsgate Native and Somnus, both double copy for the SINE insertion, are sprinters

genetics updates it is an important predictor of optimal race distance, there are other genes at work that may explain the differences in optimal race performance distances for the thoroughbred.

Equally, speed doesn’t equal class, and hundreds of thousands of horses are born each year with the same genotype as some of the horses mentioned above, but with little of their racing class.

The selection for the SINE insertion and the associated myostatin variation does, however, affect what populations of horses can generally do on the racetrack.

Individual horses might, with an outstanding cardiovascular system and with outstanding training, run to the edges of their genotype, so horses who should be milers can win at a high level at 1m4f especially against their own age group.

Over a population the breed tends to fall into distinct ranges of distance performance, conforming to their MSTN and SINE insertion haplotype or their set of DNA variations, or polymorphisms, that tend to be inherited together.

In a study we conducted on 1,246

www.internationalthoroughbred.net

81

genetics updates yearlings from eight commercial yearling sales – Fasig-Tipton Saratoga, Keeneland September, Goffs Orby, Tattersalls October, Magic Millions, Inglis Easter, Inglis Melbourne, and NZB Karaka – considerable MSTN variations were found.

In Australia the genotype associated with sprinting and more Type II muscle fibre represented about 58 per cent of all yearlings genotyped, while the genotype associated with Type I muscle and long-distance racing represented just three per cent.

You can’t race what you don’t breed so is there any wonder the Australian market is keenly sourcing stayers from Europe?

In European the percentage of yearlings at the commercial yearling sale who possessed variants associated with distance racing represent a higher proportion of the total number of yearlings at 12 per cent.

While this is significantly higher than found in Australia, it is still low when compared to the other genotypes.

It must be remembered that this is a commercial population, not the population as a whole so a higher proportion would exist in the European population at large.

Yearling sale consignors and sales

“

In Australia the genotype associated with sprinting and more Type II muscle fibre represented about 58 per cent of all yearlings companies have become very focused on selecting yearlings for sale that are commercial physical types and often advise breeders against taking a horse to sale that doesn’t fit that mould.

Regardless of whatever financial incentives or disincentives exist in breeding stayers, breeders have also recognised that it is a significantly harder endeavour anyway.

As horses extend in distance, the factors involved become far more complex, relying on a strong interplay of biomechanical, cardiovascular and metabolic systems.

As an example, as the thoroughbred has a tight one-to-one coupling between stride

int thoroughbred 210 x 125 L_raceform advert 26/10/2010 11:29 Page 1

and inspiration – any slight biomechanical inefficiency in a racehorse is multiplied for each stride that they take.

Breeding a high-quality stayer, and in turn purchasing one at a yearling sale, is significantly more difficult than breeding and buying a sprinter on that basis alone.

With a substantial number of small British breeders losing money, it is financially tempting to gravitate toward the more precocious and speedy sires, but it doesn’t have to be that way.

If the framework of racing can be significantly altered to recognise the challenge, both financially and genetically, that exists with attempting to breed a horse with a distance genotype capable of competing at extended distances, breeders should respond, the balance of genotypes will change and the number of high-class stayers will return.

It will take some significant investment from the racing powers to achieve this and also some significant time, perhaps decades, but if breeders have responded to the commercial incentive of producing speed, they can equally respond to producing distance horsess if given the right incentive and a little time.

stallion statistics

Form is temporary, class is permanant

A

Jocelyn de Moubray take a statistical look at the later careers of some leading European stallions

s every breeder knows it is always a risk to use an unproven stallion – and that the biggest risk comes of course in a stallion’s fourth and fifth years at stud.

At this point the breeder and the market judge a stallion on what its foals and or yearlings look like, but when the products of the matings in that year get to the sales the first two crops will be on the racecourse.

The market for the products of unproven sires is far from an accurate guide to a stallion’s long-term success. There are numerous examples of sires whose early crops sold well and who turned out to be poor or ordinary stallions, and then there are others whose first foals were ignored and yet who developed into top sires.

There are also examples where the market gets it right and a sire, whose first yearlings sell well, does in fact go on to become a leading stallion.

Some, usually those who don’t breed for the market, only use proven stallions.

There are times when the commercial market appears to overvalue the products of unproven sires, but like everything else in the bloodstock market there is an element of fashion involved and this a fluctuating trend.

There are never going to be very many proven sires, the process of selection starts the moment a horse retires to stud, and so by the time a generation of stallions has been at stud for seven years the numbers still able to attract mares will be significantly down from

84

www.internationalthoroughbred.net

the first year the group began to cover mares.

By the time a stallion’s seventh covering season begins he will have had two generations of three-year-olds on the racecourse and three generations of two-yearolds.

At this point the selection has come full circle and most stallions have found the mark they will maintain at for the remainder of their careers.

The handful of consistently successful producers will command high fees, in some cases many times higher than at the beginning, some will continue to maintain the same level at which they started, and the majority will have been moved abroad or stopped covering altogether.

Reflecting on this cycle which every stallion goes through there were two aspects which seemed to need a little more research.

Once the selection has been made and the market for seasons and yearlings decides which are the elite members of any group of stallions, do the chosen ones continue to deliver?

Do stallions continue to be as successful from their seventh crop as they were during their early years at stud when they were making their reputation?

There are good reasons for supposing that they may not do so.

The first is a logical conclusion. Anyone who has looked at statistics knows that most Galileo: “consistently produces superior results”

“

...on the whole, the figures confirm that once a sire has proved himself he will continue to return consistently above-average results variables revert, over the long term, to the mean.

Success in any one year or crop could be a coincidence, and thereafter a stallion’s success rate is likely to head back towards the average.

On a more anecdotal level there is a feeling that breeders, especially commercial breeders which are the large majority, prefer to take risks. After the sixth crop they are less interested and will have moved on to the next new sensation offering the possibility of a fantastic return.

The table listed monitors the success rates of the leading older sires in Europe from their seventh crop onwards.

In every case the figures for the 2012 crop, this year’s three-year-olds, are below earlier crops, but only because they are still young and there will be new high-class performers to appear over the coming months.

The statistics suggest that the better sires don’t become average in the long run. There are some anomalies, but, on the whole, the figures confirm that once a sire has proved himself he will continue to return consistently above-average results – as long as he is alive and fertile.

The best example is Galileo – whatever happens to Coolmore’s great stallion, whether he is having to deal with the effects of colic surgery, or it is just the impact of the large books of mares which could lessen his stats, the result is the same – consistently superior results.

The son of Sadler’s Wells, who turns 18 next January, is and will remain for the coming years at least, Europe’s dominant stallion.

The seventh crops of his closest rivals, Darley’s Shamardal and Dubawi, are twoyear-olds this year and are indeed confirming their excellence, but neither can match Galileo’s overall achievements.

This is a different question which could be

worth looking into in more detail, but at first glance Galileo seems to be the only current stallion who comes close to matching the versatility of his grandsire Northern Dancer.

Galileo consistently and regularly produces both top two-year-olds and top middledistance three-year-olds. He gets horses precocious enough to win Group 1s at two in October, and then horses who win Group 1s over 1m2f and further at three, four and older.

Pivotal’s career has followed a different trajectory as Cheveley Park’s sire started out covering at a fee of £6,000.

As a 23-year-old son of Polar Falcon, Pivotal has to be approaching the end of his career, but his success remains remarkably consistent.

It is interesting to note that his two least successful crops were those when he stood at the highest fee at £85,000 in 2007 and 2008.

It is never easy to set the right fee for a stallion. The first crop produced at £85,000 included three of Pivotal’s best progeny, Farhh, Immortal Verse and Izzi Top, but the following crop was disappointing.

Yet his results have returned to his own high mean over the years since and he has been covering at first £65,000 and then £55,000.

I

nvincible Spirit’s rise has been even more marked – he has moved up from a €10,000 sire to covering huge books of mares at €100,000.

In his case the huge rise in fee from €35,000 to €75,000 in 2008 looks, with hindsight, to have been a mistake.

His 2009 foals were an excellent group, but the Irish National Stud’s sire covered many fewer mares and his fee dropped to €50,000 and then to €45,000.

However, his results have remained consistently excellent and a succession of top sons, including Kingman and Charm Spirit in particular, saw him covering at €100,000 in 2015.

Juddmonte’s Dansili is one of the anomalies as of his 11 crops of three-year-olds to race, nine were good enough for him to rival Galileo’s position as Europe’s leading sire.

And yet his first crop, when he was standing at only £8,000, and his three-yearolds of this year, produced on a £65,000 covering fee, were nowhere near as good as the other nine.

explanation. He was a fantastic sire when standing at a modest fee at the beginning, and again when his fee rose from his eighth season onwards his results were among the best in Europe.

His two-year-olds of 2015 look to be an excellent group too and so there is every reason to expect his results to return to his established excellent mean over the coming seasons.

Darley’s Cape Cross is another slightly strange case. His results are consistently good, way above average, and yet it is surprising, given his overall results, that he

should have sired three great champions in Ouja Board, Sea The Stars and Golden Horn.

Golden Horn is the only one of Cape Cross’s three-year-olds to be rated 110 or higher, although there are several who look likely to achieve this level next year.

Older stallions who are not the very best often struggle to attract mares. For instance, despite their consistent results on the track and in the sales ring, stallions such as Dalakhani, Rock Of Gibraltar and Medicean are struggling to maintain the numbers required to keep a high profile.

While it is easy to look at the past, it is also of interest to see which stallions are likely to join the elite over the next few years.

The group of sires who retired to stud in 2008 was, with retrospect, a particularly strong one and a selection of statistics outlining their sales and racing results are set out in the table.

Their seventh crop are foals of 2015, but these sires are going on to become far more important and expensive over the next few years.

While Darley’s Teofilo and Ballylinch’s Lawman have succeeded in maintaining the position they held back in 2008 they have been joined by Dutch Art, Dark Angel, Soldier Hollow and Kendargent, none of whom had the obvious profile of elite stallions at the beginning.

In each case their four crops of three-yearolds to race have been consistently far better than average and the earlier examples suggest that their success will become more and more obvious over the coming years when the large crops of horses produced at expensive fees reach maturity.

Today not everybody is convinced by all the members of the group, but there is every chance that by 2018 their current fees will seem to have been a bargain.

The Next Generation: Louise Ruffell chats with Will Douglass and finds out what it is really like to be a young aspiring bloodstock agent, and that Douglass was just 13 when he sent that first job-seeking letter to his now boss Charlie Gordon-Watson

“Work as hard as you possibly can, keep pushing and keep smiling!�

102

www.internationalthoroughbred.net

Have you always been focused on a career in racing? What was it that first sparked your interest?

I had a fantastic head master at prep school who inspired me to get into racing. He bred racehorses and would take me to Newmarket, if I did well in my exams! He also gave me my first ever order when I became an agent.

At secondary school I would take the Racing Post to lessons instead of my books, hence I got kicked out of a lot of classes!

I loved hunting and started riding in point-to-points as well as riding out for a local trainer, whose head lad would pick me up on his way to the yard in the mornings.

After about two weeks of this, having showed up to very few classes, my housemaster was less than impressed and along with the headmaster sent me packing.

What made you want to become a bloodstock agent?

I read The Thoroughbred Business by Jocelyn De Moubray when I was young, there was a chapter on bloodstock agents and I thought it sounded fascinating.

There is a quote about agents being the ones who spend the money and travel around the world looking at horses, and from then it was what I wanted to do – to be paid to buy horses. When you think about it you can’t really do anything that beats it!

You were pupil assistant to both Luca Cumani and Ed Dunlop, did you consider a career as a trainer?

I thought about it, but deep down I had always wanted to be a bloodstock agent.

It’s so hard to get going as a trainer and I have huge respect for my friends who are training.

People such as Charlie Fellowes, Ed Walker and Hugo Palmer are doing so well, they put their heart and soul into it and deserve all the success they get.

I do miss working with the

horses in the morning, but I am out with trainers a lot in the summer looking at and watching the horses work, which I love.

I do not think I have ever been more scared of someone in my life as when I was working for Mr Cumani, but I have enormous respect for him.

He taught me more about spelling and English than I learnt in seven years at school! He used to say to me: “I am Italian, yet my writing and English are better than yours!”

He was a hard taskmaster, but a fantastic person to learn from and his knowledge of how horses work and should be trained is staggering.

grateful for the opportunities that he has given me and the start it has enabled me to have.

You have had a lot of hands-on experience at stud farms and racing yards, has this been useful in your current role?

It is absolutely vital and I really don’t think you can get far without solid experience and grounding behind you.

It helps you understand everything from the ground up and see how it all works first hand.

As you get on in this business you are expected to talk to clients about how small things work in a training yard or stud farm and if you have not experienced it yourself you can’t talk about it with any authority.

So what’s the advice for anyone aspiring to become involved in the bloodstock industry?

Work as hard as you possibly can, keep pushing and keep smiling!

Of course, you have to get a break and be lucky, but I am a firm believer that you will get there if you work hard enough.

You can also never stop learning and asking questions.

One of my first jobs was working for Peter Stanley at New England Stud and he used to say to me: “It is highly unlikely you will be able to become a bloodstock agent so you should probably have a back-up plan!”.

Your boss Charlie GordonWatson recently celebrated purchasing his 300th Group/ Listed winner so to get to work alongside him must be a huge break for any aspiring bloodstock agent – how did your job come about?

I wrote to Charlie when I was about 13 and (embarrassingly) he still has the letter!

I was lucky to be helped by Richard Brown and Ed Sackville and eventually met Charlie through Ed. I helped him at some sales, and after the yearling sales in 2009, Charlie suggested that I work for him. I am so incredibly

You must need excellent people-skills to deal with the variety of clients – what qualities do you think are most important as a bloodstock agent?

Essentially, if you have no clients then you cannot buy a horse.

You might be the best person at spotting future equine stars, but if you are incapable of talking to people you are going to get nowhere.

I really think that being able to talk to potential clients without being pushy and start some form of working relationship with them is a big part.

If you have contacts outside racing it enables you to meet

You might be the best person at spotting future equine stars, but if you are incapable of talking to people you are going to get nowhere

people in the city or from abroad – this is a really very important.

So not only do you need to be good at the horse side of things, but also the research side to find potential clients and meeting them, it’s a very hard skill to teach.

You need to be persistent without being over the top and that is hard to master.

You must spend a lot of time going through sales catalogues – how long before each sale do you have to start preparing?

About a week on the actual catalogue, if it’s a yearling sale we may go and look at some on the farms beforehand.

I actually don’t start work on the catalogue too long before the sale as you want the pedigrees and updates to be fresh in your mind.

For the Tattersalls horses-intraining sale I work endlessly on the catalogue for about two weeks – it becomes quite a task, but can all be worthwhile.

And when it comes to the clients you never really stop working on it. You try and think which clients you have for each sale and make plans in your head as to how it will all come together.

It takes a huge amount of work and you want everything to fit into place perfectly – sometimes it doesn’t so you just need to sit it out and wait for the next day.

What are your other responsibilities when not at the sales?

I do some work for Simon Marsh and Watership Down Stud, which is very interesting. The farm breeds and sells fantastic horses, but also has a very good sales record as seen this year by its third place in the leading consignors’ list at Book 1.

At the moment we are working on getting more fillies and mares for the December Sale, a project we have been working on for the last few years.

I do a lot of work researching horses-in-training to buy horses

www.internationalthoroughbred.net 103

will douglass privately for Qatar, Dubai, Hong Kong, Australia and America, which takes a lot of time.

We also try to purchase mares privately on behalf of clients.

We manage a number of horses-in-training and the clients need regular updates on them to keep them well informed as to what is going on and what they should be doing with the horses.

We put a lot into looking for new clients. We also do huge amounts of research when it comes to looking at sales results to see what horses have ended up where, etc.

Do you have a number of your own clients? Was it a big step to make?

It was a big step and it’s not easy – realistically who is going to let a 22 or 23-year-old buy an expensive horse on their behalf?

And getting clients to buy at auction is much harder than people will think, I’m lucky to have slowly built up some very good clients over the last two years or so.

You need one good client to put a lot of faith in you and that will get the ball rolling.

A number of my friends have now started training and I do work with them, which helps.

Must have been very nerveracking the first time you bid on a horse for clients?

I was almost shaking and it was only about 10,000gns when I purchased my first horse!

Last year I started to bid a lot more at auction and when I was bidding on one horse at 300,000gns the line went very crackly and I could barely hear the client. When the hammer came down in my favour the client asked: “Was that with you?” and after I replied “Yes”, he sounded shocked at which point the line went dead.

I then had a minor panic until he called me back and to my relief said: “Very good as I wanted to go higher if it was not our bid!”

It has been a bit of a mixed bag at this year’s yearling sales...

This year’s yearling sales were incredibly strong in places, but there was some very good value to be had if you worked hard enough, which is probably the case with any sale and whatever the market is doing. Horses will always slip through the net.

The top of the market is generally always safe as essentially it is recession proof much like the top of the market in property, art or wine. It was generally on a par with 2014.

One of the strongest sales at its level I went to this year was Tattersalls Ireland where there was the most fantastic vibe to the sale.

Lower down the levels it was more difficult for consignors and did become more patchy.

“

I don’t really look upon what I do as work or a job, it’s more just being allowed to do something I love doing This is your fifth year with Charlie – would you like to go it alone in the future?

I am very happy doing a job I love. I never stop learning from Charlie, it is a huge advantage to have someone so hugely respected on your side to talk to and bounce ideas off.

I have been building up my own clients over the last few years alongside Charlie and I don’t think going it alone is something I want to do at the moment.

I don’t really look upon what I do as work or a job, it’s more just being allowed to do something I love doing.

You must follow the careers of the horses you purchase – are there some that you are especially pleased with?

We follow the career of each horse very closely – it’s important to keep trying to improve the horses you purchase, as well as it being a huge amount of fun.

Peniaphobia won a Group 1 in Hong Kong at the start of the year and I purchased him privately as a horse-in-training.

Itorio has been one of the top horses in Qatar; he was one of the first horses I purchased for what has now become a very important client to me.

Kasseopia is a horse I bought with Charlie Fellowes at the breeze-up sales this year and after winning his maiden impressively by 8l, was sold to Team Valor privately. He has since finished second in a Grade 3 at Woodbine and will join Team Valor in America.

Charlie Gordon-Watson: Douglass reckons his boss has a photographic pedigree memory

CGW Bloodstock has had some great results this year: Postponed, Cannock Chase, Shalaa…

We have been lucky enough to have enjoyed the most fantastic year.

Racing is a great leveller so it is best to enjoy the good times when you can.

For Charlie to have had 300 Group/Listed winners is some achievement, while we have also managed to have seven Group 1 winners in the last 13 months, a record that speaks for itself.

Cannock Chase looked good the other day so hopefully he will start to fill some of the potential he has always had.

Postponed was brilliant in the King George, so tough and gutsy.

Shalaa has been fantastic this year for Charlie and a real highlight. He is one of those horses who can take your breath away and clocking 41 mph means that he is probably one of the fastest Charlie has bought!

It was also very special when Kingston Hill won the St Leger last year.

Do you have equine ownership interests of your own?

Apart from hunters at home, no I don’t. In time I would like to, but I am very picky and would have to see a real angle with something. I would like to own bloodstock, but all in good time.

How important are your first-glance instincts when it comes to assessing horses?

Vital, but you must always forgive a bad show or give a horse a second chance if you can see something. You must realise that the horse may be exhausted from

www.internationalthoroughbred.net 105

will douglass

What do you and Charlie love to see in a horse? And faults you can’t forgive?

A horse with substance, a good walk and a general good type.

With regards to faults I think you can forgive a number of things depending on the overall type of the horse.

You have to take the horse as a whole into account and think if can you really see him standing in the winners’ enclosure after a Group 1?

People often overlook attitude – a horse can have all the ability in the world but if it has a bad attitude it will never win a race or may never even run.

what the horse should look like.

Pedigree is very important: a mare who has produced no winners, having had a good chance with foals by reasonable stallions, is not something you are going to entertain.

Even if you like the stallion, you may think the dam sire won’t suit – I think that’s quite important.

Physique is one of the most important aspects and you have to balance everything out in the end.

When it comes to horses in training, the pedigree becomes less important and physique is vital, especially if buying for a country such as Hong Kong where the demands of the racing and training programme are so different.

What’s more important – pedigree and page, or physique?

When looking at a horse the first thing I do is look at the date of birth and dam sire, then you will have a picture in your mind of

Shalaa has had an incredible year, were you there for his purchase? What were your thoughts when you first saw him?

He was a very good walker, he had a swagger and he just got on

all the shows so you must be open minded and give them a chance.

He was so straight-forward, which is a great asset to him.

We hope that they will all be champions so we obviously

had high hopes for him, but Liam Norris came straight around to say thank you to Charlie and said: “I think he’s one of the best I have ever had!”.

Buyers often quote after purchase that a horse has a “come from a good hotel”. How important is that, especially when it comes to buying foals and yearlings?

The good farms produce good horses year in year out, not just at the sales but also on the racecourse.

Farms such as Watership Down, Meon Valley, Newsells Park and Normandie Stud always have good results from a small broodmare band.

There are endless farms in Ireland that produce top horses and where they are raised is vitally important, one of the biggest factors. If buying yearlings who have been bought as foals, it is always worth noting which farm sold them initially.

will douglass What are your thoughts on buying yearlings and foals by first-crop sires for your clients?

Which young sires that are standing out for you?

If you are buying a yearling for someone who only buys one or two a year you might possibly stay away from a first-season sire.

Generally, I do not have a problem with buying a first-season sire, but I do feel pedigree is important when it comes to stallions.

I have been very impressed with Nathaniel, the Born To Seas look lovely horses, as do the Bated Breaths, while there were some very nice Excelebrations.

Elzaam is a horse that has perhaps gone a little under the radar as he was a very good horse – he nearly won a Coventry Stakes and then a Group 1 as a three-year-old. He is by a top stallion in Redoute’s Choice and out of a Kingmambo mare.

Two out of three Charlie Gordon-Watson Bloodstock foal purchases at the 2014 Tattersalls December Sale were by Nathaniel, and CGW Bloodstock purchased five yearlings by the sire this autumn. You both must be impressed with his progeny so far?

Yes, very impressed with them, I think they are lovely horses with real quality to them.

Of the foals, the filly we bought out of Our Queen Of Kings, who cost 300,000gns, was resold to Juddmonte in Book 1 for 600,000gns.

Charlie purchased a yearling

by Nathaniel at Arqana and the two colts in Book 1 were out of Kinnaird and Splashdown. We also bought a filly by him in Book 2 out of Heavenly Whisper, as well as in Book 3 the filly out of Factice from Newsells.

Nathaniel has one of the best pedigrees going by one of the best stallions there has ever been.

He was a top racehorse and is now standing at a top farm, so he has every chance.

incredibly important and this has been proven time and time again by sires such as Darshaan, Sadlers’ Wells and Rainbow Quest, who is the broodmare sire of Kingston Hill, Kris Kin and Quest For More who runs in the Melbourne Cup this year whom Charlie purchased as a yearling.

Galileo mares are now doing incredibly well, which is no surprise at all.

Do you and Charlie disagree on horses?

Rarely, I might occasionally make a case to him about one I really, really like and he is only lukewarm – he will take my views on board.

But essentially we seem to have similar taste, probably due to the fact he has taught me the majority of what I know!

De Treville: this is Darara’s first foal, bought by Gordon-Watson Bloodstock at Tattersalls as a yearling in 2013 for 850,000gns.

By Oasis Dream, he has gone to achieve Group 3-placed form in France

Charlie is noted for his success in buying future broodmares, including Darara, a world-class foundation mare for Watership Down Stud, and Wandering Star.

What do you think gives him the edge when buying mares?

His mare purchase record is almost better than his yearling purchase record – last year Cursory Glance and Charming Thought won Group 1s, both out of mares purchased by Charlie.

Charlie has very strict criteria when it comes to buying mares and it will be the same whether the budget is 10,000gns or 5 million guineas; it doesn’t change and has been proven to work, time and time again.

His knowledge of pedigrees is astounding and he knows families inside out.

Work for the mare sales never stops, but the yearling sales are a particularly important time.

You can see how a number of families are producing – he will note all of that and expect me to do the same.

Charlie can walk around Tattersalls remembering what he has bought in the past according to where it was stabled!

There is even more to take into account when buying broodmares – covering sires, breeding records, possible future pedigree improvements… how do you narrow it down?

You must always look through the covering sire – if you are not a fan, it might make the mare cheaper if that stallion is quiet.

Breeding record is vital, but sometimes an incredibly good farm can help a mare with a bad breeding record so you must factor that in – this could also make her cheaper.

You should take future pedigree improvements with a pinch of salt, even if they are potentially there you must do your upmost to find out everything you can about the horse in front of you.

Broodmare stallions are

What’s Charlie like to work with? What are his qualities as a bloodstock agent?

We get on well and have never really had any arguments. You have to remember that you are working with the best agent in the business so you will always be learning and moving forward.

He is incredibly picky, when it comes to anything he pays so much attention to detail about absolutely everything, it is no surprise he has been so successful. It has even made me become a little OCD with everything in my life!

As a bloodstock agent his knowledge of families and horses is quite staggering, he never takes himself too seriously which is a pretty key point to life really and, at the end of the day, it is all about enjoying yourself.

If a sale has gone badly you have to move on and make sure the next sale goes better and put more work into it.

He is able to sum up horses and make decisions quickly.

His memory is almost photographic, he remembers horses so well – I am getting there with that asset.

mare of the month

Mare of the month

A

fter Michael Magnier’s sudden death in 1966 his widow Evie Stockwell stepped up to the role of running Grange Stud. She was helped by her son John who left school in order to ensure continued running of the farm.

The Magniers had been breeding horses at their historic farm in Fermoy, County Cork, since the 1850s and Stockwell was undaunted by the large task set to her.

The matriarch has been upholding the family tradition for quite some time now and she continues to enjoy success at the highest level.

In fact, Stockwell has had an incredible 2015 season with home-breds winning both at home and in the US. Her Galileo filly Photo Call, bred out of Stockwell’s mare Theann, has gone from strength to strength as a four-year-old,

Evie Stockwell (centre) flanked by son John (right) and grandson JP. The breeder has enjoyed a fine 2015 with Grade 1 winner Photo Call and impressive juvenile Listed winner Hit It A Bomb Photo: racingfotos.com

most recently landing her first Grade 1 victory in impressive style.

Photo Call was placed in her first two maidens as a three-year-old before getting her nose in front in a fillies’ maiden at Fairyhouse last year, racing in the colours of Jules Cooper.

By the end of 2014 she had been relocated to the US to be trained by Graham Motion. She very soon found herself in Grade 3 company, finishing third in the La Prevoyante Handicap at Gulfstream Park.

However, it wasn’t until her second season on the track that Photo Call really began to shine. After finishing in the runner-up spot in the Grade 3 Beaugay Stakes at Belmont Park in spring, behind the consistent performer and multiple Grade 1 winner Discreet Marq, she came third in her first Listed race, the Perfect Sting Stakes at Belmont.

Theann

Rock Of Gibraltar-Cassandra Go (Indian Ridge)

The move stateside for Photo Call has proven to be a canny decision judging by the improvement shown in her most recent two starts.

Her first graded win came in the Violet Stakes (G3) at Monmouth Park this August, where she won by a cosy three-quarters of a length ahead of Cushion, a daughter of the top race filly Attraction. It was something of a family occasion as the runner-up is owned

by Mrs Sue Magnier, in partnership with the filly’s breeder the Duke Of Roxburghe, and is also by Galileo giving the great sire a one-two.

The filly then travelled to Santa Anita for the Rodeo Drive Stakes, a race run on the Turf over 1m2f. It was only her second start in Grade 1 company with impressive opposition including Hard Not To Like, 8-5 favourite after two Grade 1 successes, and Royal Heroine

Stakes (G2) winner Fanticola.

Photo Call, under jockey Drayden Van Dyke, tracked the leaders before gamely squeezing through the smallest of gaps, showing tenacity and class to win by two and a quarter lengths.

The race is a ‘Win and You’re In’ race for the Breeders’ Cup Fillies’ and Mares’ Turf; there could be some fun times ahead this autumn from this exciting filly.

But her success is not the sole victory this year for progeny of dam Theann – her 2012 colt has won twice in Ireland this season for owner Rick Barnes. Pincode, a brother to Photo Call and trained by Patrick Prendergast, broke his maiden at Bellewstown over 1m4f before going on to win again at Tramore this August.

Theann was married to Galileo until 2013 when she produced a filly that has been called Tesoro. She was sold at the Tattersalls Craven Sale, bought by Peter and Ross Doyle. She has run twice for trainer Dean Ivory finishing down the field in a couple of maidens.

Theann had a 2014 colt by High Chaparral, then missed to Declaration Of War and visited No Nay Never this spring.

Theann was purchased as a yearling in 2005

by John Magnier for €400,000 at the Goffs Million Sale in 2005 and the Rock Of Gibraltar filly, who was bred by Trevor Stewart at Ballyhimikin Stud in County Tipperary, went on to win at two and three years in Stockwell’s colours.

Trained from Ballydoyle, her black-type was achieved with a win at York in the Group 3 Summer Stakes. She also finished second in the Listed Flame Of Tara Stakes and third in the Greenlands Stakes, both run at The Curragh (G3), as well as in the 1000 Guineas Trial at Leopardstown (G3).

Theann is a daughter of the outstanding Cassandra Go, undoubtedly the horse of a lifetime for Stewart.

The filly was named after the jewellery designer Cassandra Goad when Stewart was obliged to purchase her wares in order to placate his wife. Stewart had gone to the sales with his pin-hooked Indian Ridge yearling, but couldn’t bring himself to let her go and bought her back for 200,000gns.

Fortunately for Stewart his instincts were bang on and Cassandra Go became an outstanding sprinter – she won the Group 2 King’s Stand Stakes at Royal Ascot, the Temple Stakes at Sandown (G2), the King George Stakes at Goodwood (G2) and Lansdown Stakes (L) at Bath.

She was also placed seven times, including

“

But Theann is not the only promising broodmare in Stockwell’s band – her Sadler’s Wells mare Liscanna, winner of the Group 3 Ballyogan Stakes, also looks like one to watch at Group 1 level when second in the July Cup. Placings were also acheived in the Ballyogan Stakes at Leopardstown (G3), the Palace House Stakes (G3) and the Summer Stakes at York (L).

C

assandra Go proved to be as successful as a broodmare as she was on the track. With an impressive six winners out of seven runners, Theann is one of three Group-winning daughters along with Halfway To Heaven and Tickled Pink.

The Irish 1,000 Guineas victor Halfway To Heaven, by Pivotal and also trained from Ballydoyle, was placed in eight of her nine starts, racing exclusively in Group company after two maiden runs as a two-year-old.

In 2008 she won the Guineas, as well as the Nassau Stakes (G1) at Goodwood, and the Sun Chariot Stakes (G1).

She is already a successful broodmare, and her progeny include Flying The Flag (Galileo), winner of the Group 3 International Stakes at The Curragh.

Tickled Pink, by Invincible Spirit, also owned and bred by Stewart, became, like her dam, an out-and-out sprinter.

She won the Group 3 Abernant Stakes at Newmarket and the Sprint Stakes (G3) at Sandown while in training with the late Sir Henry Cecil.

The filly is now at stud and was covered by Dark Angel in 2014.

Cassandra Go’s 2002 daughter by Green Desert, Neverletme Go, won two races before retiring to stud where a covering by Tamayuz resulted in a filly, Best Regards, winner of the Listed Hoppegartener Fliegerpries in Germany.

Cassandra Go’s 2013 colt by Shamardal, named Chess Master, was purchased by John

mare of the month Ferguson at Tattersalls October Book 1 last year for 1.7 million guineas. He has had one run when third in a Leicester maiden.

The mare had an Iffraaj foal this spring and visited Invincible Spirit.

Cassandra Go is not the only daughter of Rahaam to have have created a dynasty, the mare by Secreto having bred nine winners from nine runners, including the Group 3 Coventry Stakes winner Verglas.

He retired to the Irish National Stud, his best progeny including Stormy River, Glass Harmonium and Silver Frost, all winners of multiple Group races. His most recent success story has been Steps, who collected his first Group race in September – the Dubai International Airport World Trophy at Newbury (G3).

Rahaam’s Listed winner Persian Secret (Persian Heights) has an impressive record being the dam of Do The Honours (Highest Honor), winner of the Group 3 Prix de Meautry in Deauville. She has produced Woven Lace (Hard Spun), who finished second in the Group 3 Prix de la Grotte in Longchamp, and Waitress (Kingmambo), third in the Listed Prex Ceres at Saint-Cloud.

Seba (Alzao ex Persian Secret) won the Listed Chesham Stakes at Ascot, finished third in the Mother Goose Stakes in Belmont (G1), and went on to breed Sheistheboss, who came third in the Listed Prix Six Perfections in Deauville.

Rahaam’s daughter by Nashwan, Aricia, is dam to the Listed winners Oh Beautiful and Freedom’s Light, and the unraced Ramona (Desert King) produced Prima Luce, winner of the Group 3 Athasi Stakes at The Curragh.

But Theann is not the only promising broodmare in Stockwell’s band – her Sadler’s Wells mare Liscanna, winner of the Group 3 Ballyogan Stakes, also looks like one to watch.

Her 2013 colt Hit It A Bomb, by War Front, won first time out in a maiden at The Curragh in Stockwell’s colours. He has since stepped up to Listed success with ease taking the Star Appeal Stakes at Dundalk under Joseph O’Brien.

Stockwell’s filly Last Waltz also looks exciting – having won her maiden she quickly progressed to Group company finishing third to hot favourite Coolmore in the Park Stakes (G3) at The Curragh last month.

With such a strong band of broodmares it looks like Stockwell’s influence on Grange Stud will ensure that the family farm continues to produce winners for years to come.

photo of the month: Nasrullah, photo by PA Images FOUND IN THE archives...

This is a photo of Nasrullah, the leading stallion of 1950s America and a huge influence on thoroughbred pedigrees just as he was about to ship to the US from the Royal Victoria Docks, London on June 23,1950.

He had been purchased from Joe Mr McGrath’s Brownstown Stud by Arthur “Bull” Hancock’s Claiborne Stud, Kentucky.

Foaled at the Aga Khan’s Sheshoon Stud in Ireland in 1940, Nasrullah earned an impressive reputation as a champion racehorse in Europe.

Though he did not duplicate Nearco’s unbeaten record, he won five of ten stakes races and placed in three others. The bay stallion also won a notorious reputation at the track for being unruly, unpredictable and unmotivated.

Nasrullah’s difficult behavior convinced the Aga Khan to sell him instead of standing him at stud and McGrath purchased Nasrullah. At Brownstown, Nasrullah soon distinguished himself as a leading sire. He caught the attention of Arthur B. “Bull” Hancock, Jr., of Claiborne Farm in Kentucky who was seeking to infuse new blood from the Nearco line into his broodmare band.

Hancock tried twice to purchase Nasrullah with no success. In a third-time lucky move in what has been termed “a masterstroke in

146

www.internationalthoroughbred.net

American breeding,” in 1949 Hancock put together a syndicate, almost a Who’s Who of the US bloodstock industry, and bought the stallion for $340,000.

Just a year later, the investment was immediately proved to have been a well-judged decision. The British racehorse Noor, a son of Nasrullah, was sold to US owner Charles S. Howard. The colt travelled to the US from England, adapted to the Dirt surfaces and defeated the great Citation in four consecutive California stakes and was named champion older male that year. Noor was also the year’s leading money earner.

Nasrullah supplied a new source of speed to the North American racehorse, and his blood, along with that of fellow Claiborne stallion

Princequillo, provided an unbeatable combination. He went on to sire a then-record 98 stakes winners, while his male descendants still have an influence on pedigrees today and include the brilliant Secretariat, Bold Ruler, Nashua, Never Bend, Seattle Slew, Mill Reef, and Blushing Groom.

Nashua was Nasrullah’s leading money-earner at ages two, three, and four, and the nation’s leading earner as a three-year-old. Those earnings helped Nasrullah top the list of leading sires of two-year-olds by progeny earnings in 1954 and the general sires’ list in 1955-56.
