Just Champion!

Paul Haigh reviews a meeting that is starting to live right up to its billing ...we got as a good a race meeting as British autumn weather permits, brilliant organisation and TV coverage of a sort that should have converted numbers

www.internationalthoroughbred.net

T

his column normally has a roving brief.

We could have talked about all sorts of things, such as the Breeders’ Cup, the Melbourne Cup, Hong Kong International Races now only just over a month away, or about daft un-testable hypotheses “Would Enable give Winx a race.

Or should that question be turned on its head?”

We could have talked about the plethora of festivals around the world and the extent to which each one of them impinges on the others. Or about the new phenomenon of million dollar sweepstakes and how long that’s going to last. But no apologies at all for devoting the whole thing this time to one superb race meeting which answered almost every question asked of it and settled more than a few of those that had lingered in the latter part of the 2017 British racing season.

Some of us approached Qipco British Champions Day with more trepidation than enthusiasm. We feared false results, torpedoed bank accounts and a dismal let-down rather than an appropriate climax to the European racing season.

With the knowledge that the meeting is held at least a month too late in the year under almost invariably drab skies (compare and contrast Del Mar as a location even though this one is held at a far superior racecourse) on almost invariably rain-softened turf on which those horses we’d chosen as our summer heroes were bound to get their reputations ruined, we prepared for Ascot’s third jamboree of the year (the other two being the Royal Meeting and the King George) with jaws set in grim determination rather than with expressions of goofy glee.

It was bound to be oversold, not least by the television. It might

first word even be weathered off with the fag-end of something called Storm Brian heading in our vague direction exactly 30 years after the unfortunate forecaster Michael Fish told everyone there was going to be no such thing on its way and then woke up the next morning with a tree in his bathroom.

We shouldn’t have worried. Instead we got as a good a race meeting as British autumn weather permits, brilliant organisation and TV coverage of a sort that should have converted numbers maybe, to the best sport at the time of year when many aficionados are busy getting the mothballs out of their tweeds and thinking it’s time to concentrate on obstacle racing.

On a six-race card (is that really all there were?) there wasn’t a single dud. From the moment Order Of St George, having thought about it for a while then decided ‘Oh I might as well’, responded to Ryan Moore’s increasing demands by mowing down the apparently gone-beyond-recall Torcedor in the Long Distance Cup to the moment when the favourite, Lord Glitters, performed the the previously impossible by coming from last in a field of 20, (with a check on his way!) to save so many people’s bacon in the closing Balmoral Handicap, there wasn’t a second you weren’t either relishing what you’d just seen or gasping in anticipation at what you were going to see next.

Okay, there were disappointments, but that’s the game isn’t it? Librisa Breeze is a brilliant horse, but there’s no way he’s on a par with the Harry Angel we saw only a few weeks previously at Haydock.

Hydrangea is certainly not the champion 1m4f filly in Europe (we all know the colours that one wears), but she was the best who turned up on the day for the British Champions Fillies and Mares Stakes, even if Bateel, whom she outstayed in the blustery wind, would probably have beaten her in summer.

Persuasive is not the best miler we’ve seen in 2017. That title still belongs to Ribchester, with Churchill just a half length behind him. But she was the best prepared on the day by her brilliant trainer (that brilliance is now established whatever doubts may once have existed somewhere in

If it’s ever right to call someone who trains racehorses for a living a genius, O’Brien is a genius

the distant past).

The other brilliant trainer celebrated at this meeting, the even-more brilliant one who somehow equalled Bobby Frankel’s 25 Group 1 winners in a calendar year (and Group 1s are harder to win than Grade 1s, please note) managed to do it on the day of his wedding anniversary.

Is there no end to his deftness? Aidan O’Brien is just ridiculously good. At times in the past some of us have made the mistake of suggesting that he’s only as good as the horses he’s given: that other trainers could have done what he does if only they’d had the same material; that his “genius” just depends on what champions he’s loaded with

Left, Aidan O’Brien with Hydrangea, the trainer was awarded his champion trainers’ trophy at Ascot and the filly’s success on Qipco Champions Day meant he matched Bobby Frankel’s record of 25 Group or Grade 1 races won in a calendar year, below, jockey Silvestre De Sousa with his champion jockeys’ award: he ran away with the title, finishing 40 winners clear of his closest rival Jim Crowley

first word They couldn’t, and it doesn’t. If it’s ever right to call someone who trains racehorses for a living a genius, O’Brien is a genius. And the modesty with which he receives all the superlatives heaped on him isn’t fake. It’s modesty.

And then there was Cracksman.

Cracksman, up until Saturday October 21, had probably owed some of his huge fan club to his name. It’s got that crackle to it, hasn’t it? You just want a horse with a name like that to be sensational, particularly when you know he’s a son of the greatest racehorse most of us have ever seen. You can’t give Cracksman any higher compliment than to find yourself asking whether even Frankel himself could have bettered Cracksman’s dazzling performance in the 2017 Champion Stakes. Frankel certainly didn’t have to when he won the race on similarly softened ground.

We have to try and get a sense of proportion here though. Cracksman couldn’t have done what his sire did when beating four-time Group 1 winner Excelebration 11l in the Queen Anne. He couldn’t have gone 15l clear in the Guineas at halfway.

He couldn’t have thrashed lesser champions the way Frankel did in the Juddmonte. But on what we saw on

...on what we saw on October 21, on soft ground and in the autumn, Cracksman might just have given his sire a race

October 21, on soft ground and in the autumn, Cracksman might just have given his sire a race.

Oh, another un-testable hypothesis. And what use is that? Like the renegade monk, I really must get out of the habit. But Cracksman might yet achieve what Frankel was never asked to do and win himself an Arc. Frankie Dettori had another day of days at his favourite course. Silvestre de Sousa was given a splendid and well deserved ovation when given the award for winning the jockeys’ championship, in front of his kids.

Anyone with kids can imagine what that must have felt like.

David Egan was champion apprentice, acclaimed in front of father John who’s still riding extremely well himself. TV gave us some hyperbole and the usual bursts of overstatement that the medium seems to think we demand. But in general most nails were hit squarely on the head.

Ascot deserves applause too. As an advertisement for racing this meeting couldn’t have been bettered.

Well, yes perhaps it could. With slightly more sunshine and a slightly less fierce wind. Next year maybe.

Even at its present location in mid-October, this Champions Day is now a permanent fixture.

In Haigh’s opinion, the Ascot Champions meeting could not have been bettered, apart from a guarantee of better autumn weather

wo new sires announced for the 2018 Darley roster – Profitable, the Group 1-winning sprinter is to stand at Kildangan Stud at a fee of €12,000, while Ultra, the home-bred winner of the Prix Jean-Luc Lagardère, is to stand alongside his sire Manduro at Haras du Logis for €7,000.

Profitable won five races from 23 starts – all over 5f – for trainer Clive Cox. The highlight of his racing career came when in 2016 when, after success in the Group 2 Temple Stakes, he won the 2016 Group 1 King’s Stand Stakes from Cotai Glory.

He was purchased privately by Godolphin prior to the 2017 season and this year finished second to Lady Aurelia in the King’s Stand and was then third to Battaash in the Prix de

l’Abbaye on his final start.

“Profitable has a wonderful temperament and has been an absolute delight to train,” said Clive Cox to the Racing Post. “He has been a top-class 5f horse throughout, performing at the highest level and saved his best performances for Royal Ascot. I will certainly be looking out for his progeny at the sales.”

A son of Invincible Spirit, he is out of the winning Indian Ridge mare Dani Ridge and is a half-brother to Group 3 winner Ridge Ranger and to two further stakes performers.

He was bred by Con Harrington.

Godolphin chief executive Joe Osborne said: “Profitable is an especially well-made horse, powerful and strikingly handsome. We are big fans of his sire line, and Cape Cross, who was bred on a similar cross, was a great

success here. We are very much looking forward to showing him off to breeders.”

Ultra was the French champion juvenile of 2015. Trained by André Fabre, he won three starts at two, defeating subsequent Group 1 winner Mont Ormel on his debut at Clairefontaine and winning the Prix Jean-Luc Lagardère in record time on his final juvenile outing.

At three, Ultra finished a close second in the 1m2f Group 2 Prix Eugene Adam and won the 1m1f Listed Prix Jacques Laffitte at Maisons-Laffitte as a four-year-old “Ultra is a strong horse with particularly impressive conformation,” said Sam Bullard, director of stallions for Darley.

“He’s a record-breaking champion twoyear-old with Classic bloodlines and I’m sure breeders will be delighted when they see

Kenneth Dooley

Epsom Derby winner Wings Of Eagles retires to Haras de Montaigu The sad and tragic accident at Kempton Park racecourse on October 14, 2017 which resulted in the death of groom Kenneth Dooley, an employee of trainer Amanda Perrett, shocked the racing community both in Britain and beyond.

Our thoughts are with Ken’s friends and family at this sad time.

ThIS YEAR’S Epsom Derby hero Wings Of Eagles,whose racing career came to an end after suffering injury in the Irish Derby, is retiring to stand at his birthplace of Haras de Montaigu, Normandy.

Wings Of Eagles is a halfbrother to stakes performers Gyrella and Torentosa and his dam, the Poule d’Essai des Pouliches third Ysoldina, is by the late Kendor out of Rotina. She also produced the Prix Saint-Alary (G1) winner Belle Et Celebre and Group

scorers Appel Au Maitre, Valentino and Whortleberry.

Trained by Aidan O’Brien, Wings Of Eagles finished fourth in the Zetland Stakes at two.

At three he came with a strong run to defeat Cliffs Of Moher and Cracksman to land the Derby and then, despite picking up his injury at The Curragh, finished a close third to Capri in the Irish Derby.

He is by the French-trained Derby winner Pour Moi. Montaigu said in a statement:

“With his magnificent physique and pedigree, which combines the class and stamina of Montjeu with the precocity and speed of Kendor, as well as his racing performances, Wings Of Eagles has all the attributes to become a leading stallion like Galileo, Sea The Stars, New Approach and High Chaparral, all also Derby winners.”

“He is a fine addition to Darley’s increasingly impressive roster in France, and it’s wonderful to see Ultra alongside his sire as an example of what a great type Manduro can produce.”

A Darley homebred, Ultra is a half-brother to the Group 3 Prix Minerve winner Synopsis and one of seven winners out of the placed Nashwan mare Epitome, a half-sister to the Canadian Grade 2 winner Calista, out of Proskona, champion three-year-old filly in Italy in 1984 Ultra: the Lagardère winner is priced at €7,000

Champion Almanzor to Etreham, and Group 1 winner Zarak to Bonneval Last year’s European champion and triple Group 1 winner Almanzor is to stand at Haras d’Etreham, and Zarak, the top-class son of Dubawi and Zarkava is new to Haras de Bonneval.

Zarak, the four-year-old Dubawi colt, is out of the wonderful racemare Zarkava, the unbeaten winner of the Poule d’Essai des Pouliches, Prix de Diane and Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe.

Zarak won four races including a Deauville maiden on his sole start at two, the Dubai Millennium Stakes at Meydan in February and the Group 1 Grand Prix de Saint-Cloud this summer.

Zarak finished behind only Almanzor in the Prix du Jockey Club, Almanzor

Zarak

finished second in the Prix Ganay (G1) and fourth in the Dubai Turf.

Almanzor was retired in the summer after a below-par run in the Group 3 Prix Gontaut-Biron and it has been announced that he is to stand at Haras d'Etreham, alongside his sire Wootton Bassett.

The leading European horse in 2016 with a Timeform rating of 133, he won a trio of Group 1 races - the Prix du Jockey-Club, the Irish Champion Stakes and the Champion Stakes.

He is from the family of champion Darjina, a three-time Group 1 winner and four-time Group 1 runner-up, and he is set to stand at a fee of €35,000.

Al Wukair and Zelzal join the growing Haras de Bouquetot roster The Group 1 winners Al Wukair and Zelzal are set to join the ranks of Haras de Bouquetot and will be offered for syndication.

The two top-class milers will

stand alongside the champion two-year-old Shalaa, the champion miler Toronado, who is a new addition to the stud for 2018, the four-time Group 1 winner Olympic Glory and 2017 first-season sires Style Vendome and Planteur.

The three-year-old Al Wukair won this year’s Prix du Jacques le Marois (G1) achieving a rating of 125 when defeating three-yearolds Inns Of Court and Prix Jean

Prat winner Thunder Snow.

By Dream Ahead, Al Wukair is out of a two-year-old winner

by Machiavellian (93), a halfsister to French and Irish 1,000 Guineas third La Nuit Rose and out of Prix de Diane (G1) winner Caerlina.

Al Wukair’s career began with a perfect record as a juvenile, winning each of his two starts, including the Listed Prix Isonomy.

At three he won the Prix Djebel (G3) before finishing a fine third to Churchill in the 2,000 Guineas (G1) at Newmarket Al Wukair then finished second in the Prix Messidor (G3) before turning the tables on Taaref to win the Marois.

The weeks also also gave us a great chance to work out what stallions to use for next year.

Liam and I share a Dubawi mare whose first foal Prost has won at two and three. My own three mares also reside in France; two of them have black-type produce and the third is a young, winning daughter of the most successful one.

Breeding experts might well have been confounded by two Group 1 results in two different hemispheres on Saturday.

The Caulfield Cup was won by the David Hayes-owned and trained Boom Time. He started his racing career in Perth and eventually broke his maiden on his 13th start there.

Moved to Victoria he started with Peter Moody and then moved to Lindsay Park. He is by Flying Spur, a Golden Slipper winner, whose 13 Group 1 winners include only two at a mile or above.

Boom Time’s dam is by Snippets, one of the main influences for speed in Australia, and it is the family of Magnus and Black Caviar.

fter three weeks of sales in Newmarket and Deauville, it is almost a pleasure to have to sit down and write a column!

Luckily the weather outside is drab enough not to provide any outdoor counter attraction. It is even too damp to get the mower going for a final cut, which is much needed as we have not had a frost to stop the grass growing.

Liam [Norris] and I were very lucky at Newmarket to be organised enough in Book 1 to buy all three horses we bid on for the first day; we would not have been successful later in the week.

We also struck lucky in Book 2, being able to buy the one colt we bid on.

We just need the luck to continue on into successful racing careers.

The market was very strong, but we managed to get our three lots bought under the median price.

Our colt in Book 2 was bought just under the average for the second day.

Our budget for Arqana was much lower and we had to see over200 lots with ten vetted, before being able to buy a Rajsaman filly.

Next year I think we will concentrate on the second and third day at Arqana as we were well adrift on the first day.

Librisa Breeze won his maiden for Jeremy Noseda over 1m2f on the All-Weather at Lingfield.

He won a mile handicap at Kempton, had two disqualifications for banned substances according to the Racing Post and four nonrunner certificates, including one for unsuitable soft ground.

He has been transformed by trainer Dean Ivory, who has brought the horse back to a mile and shorter and turned him into a top-ranking sprinter/miler, especially effective at Ascot.

At four, Zelzal finished second in the Prix Bertrand du Breuil (G3). He then had unsuitable soft ground in each of his following starts.

Zelzal’s final run is due to come in the Breeders’ Cup Mile Turf (G1) at Santa Anita.

Benoit Jeffroy, Haras de Bouquetot’s stud manager, said: “We are delighted to extend our stallion roster in 2018 and to

welcome in addition to Toronado, two such horses such as Zelzal and Al Wukair.

“Each of them have won Group 1s in the Al Shaqab Racing silks and it is a pride to be able to stand them here in France at Haras de Bouquetot.

“We have made the decision to make them both available to make them both available to the breeders through syndication at very valuable conditions.”

He gave Frankel his first European Group 1 and must be an exciting prospect as a four-year-old.

GM Hopkins narrowly failed to give John Gosden a treble and a dream return to race riding for Robert Havlin – they had to give best to the “handicap good thing” Lord Glitters in the colours of Mondialiste.

Credit is due to both principals of Godolphin and Coolmore for calling a truce and enabling Sheikh Mohammed to buy yearlings by Coolmore sires at Keeneland and Newmarket.

Mondialiste, the dual Grade 1-winning son of Galileo, is to take up stallion duties at owner Geoff Turnbull’s Elwick Stud in County Durham.

He was bought as a five-yearold by Turnbull and switched to David O’Meara from trainer Freddy Head for whom he had finished third in the Jean Prat.

That year Mondialiste went on to win three races, including the Grade 1 Woodbine Mile. He then finished a creditable second to Tepin in the Breeders’ Cup Mile.

At six, Mondialiste finished second in the York Stakes before crossing the Atlantic again to claim his second Grade 1 in the Arlington Million.

“Mondialiste is without doubt one of the bravest horses I’ve trained,” said O’Meara. “He has a big heart and he always really sticks his neck out.”

Mondialiste is out of the dual Group 1 winner Occupandiste.

His siblings include his Listedwinning brother, and his halfsisters Impressionnante, a Group 2-placed daughter of Danehill who is better known as the dam of Prix du Jockey Club hero Intello, and Prix du Petit Couvert winner Only Answer.

Mondaliste is to stand at a fee of £6,000.

Aclaim, the Group 1-winning son of Acclamation, retires to The National Stud The four-year-old COLT Aclaim, who won this autumn’s Group 1 Prix de la Forêt, is retiring to the National Stud in Newmarket.

Unbeaten over 6f as a juvenile, at three he won an Ascot handicp, the Listed Dubai Duty Free Cup over a mile and the Group 2 Challenge Stakes – in which he beat the Group 1 Cheveley Park winner Lumiere and Group 1 sprinter Tasleet.

His career culminated with victory in the Group 2 Park Stakes at Doncaster before his success at Chantilly on Arc day.

He retires on a Timeform rating of 123 and

will stand at £12,500.

He will be managed by John Ferguson and Mark McStay, in conjunction with Tim Lane, manager of the National Stud.

“Aclaim was a joy to have in the yard,” said trainer Martyn Meade. “He’s a handsome horse, and not just deeply talented but extremely genuine. I’d look at him and feel such pride and pleasure.”

Aclaim is the first foal of Aris (Danroad), a stakes-placed juvenile who beat the Group 1 winner Gordon Lord Byron to break her maiden.

....Girls aloud

afety is something that those of us who work daily with horses sometimes take for granted. Whether or not you have grown-surrounded by horses or you have come to them later in life, understanding the nature and silent body language of the horse that you are working with is the most important thing for the safety of both man and horse.

This relationship is “permission based” and due to the flight nature of the horse can frequently be fragile and prone to break down. Even the most trustworthy horse can react in a dangerous and unpredictable way when faced with an unfamiliar threat.

Arthur Conan Doyle put it well when he said: “Horses: dangerous on both ends and crafty in the middle.”

It is therefore not uncommon for injuries to take place to both horse and man, especially in the world of racing and breeding where these highly strung thoroughbred horses can react in an instant. Those of us who have chosen to work in the industry accept that this comes with the territory, but realise that the benefits of working with such amazing creatures far outweighs the associated dangers.

“There is something about the outside of a horse that is good for the inside of a man” said Winston Churchill.

It is very important that we as an industry do as much as possible to protect ourselves and our employees from these dangers.

Certainly there have been huge improvements in health and safety.

Helmets and body protectors have improved beyond all recognition and offer a much higher standard of protection to those both on horses and handling them on the ground.

Safety statements, training, and first-aid courses educate everyone on how to avoid accidents, but also importantly on how to react in the event that they occur. It is essential that we provide access to this type of training to everyone involved in all aspects of the industry.

This has been a difficult year for the racing industry when it comes to workplace-related deaths, particularly with the tragic death of stalls handler Stephen Yarborough at Haydock at the end of July and more recently the terrible loss of Ken Dooley, from Amanda Perrett’s yard, who was killed after an incident in the stable yard at Kempton racecourse.

The tributes to both men have been many and show clearly how much

1,000 Guineas, while Aclaim’s grand-dam is a half-sister to the Arc hero Montjeu. This is also the immediate family of Prix de l’Abbaye and King’s Stand winner Goldream and 2,000 Guineas winner Galileo Gold.

The Duke of Roxburghe, who becomes chairman of the National Stud in January, said: “Having Aclaim on the roster is marvellous news. The National Stud is delighted to be standing a fast young stallion with Classic bloodlines.”

Aclaim joins Tivaci and Spill The Beans, who are also new to The National Stud for 2018.

they loved the work that they did. They are a great loss to the industry and to all those who knew them.

We watch jockeys risk their lives and their bodies as they go about their daily work at the races. We have recently seen that the risks not only extend to NH jockeys, but also to those riding on the Flat through the serious and life-threatening injuries faced by Freddie Tylicki in England and Ana O’Brien in Ireland.

Both of these young people were faced with horrific injuries at a very young age and yet they bravely got to work on their recovery. They are amazing role models and also wonderful ambassadors for our industry.

Their lives were saved by the excellent work of the medical services present at the track and the quick actions of on-course doctors.

The improved medical care and equipment standards are thanks to the excellent work carried out by medical officials, such as Dr Adrian McGoldrick of the Irish Turf Club and Dr Jerry Hill of the British Horseracing Authority.

It is important that we acknowledge and support wonderful charities such as Racing Welfare, the Injured Jockeys’ Fund, the Jockey Employment Training Scheme and the Irish Injured Jockeys, who do so much to help people in our industry in their times of need.

There are and have been many fundraising events that take place such as Jog for Jockeys and the Corinthian Challenge in Ireland, and Richard Farquhar’s Walking the Courses in the UK. Events like these show how dedicated the people that are involved in the thoroughbred industry are to support those injured and their families.

It is vital that those who are no longer able to continue to work in their chosen profession are properly looked after and given the right care and training to allow them to continue their everyday lives.

It is also important that we do not become complacent. We need to continue to work to improve health and safety standards in our industry.

We must continue to support industry-training schemes such as those provided by Irish Racing Apprentice Centre of Education, British Racing School, Thoroughbred Breeders’ Association and Irish Thoroughbred Breeders Association that allow us to educate staff to the highest possible standard to ensure their safety and the safety and care of the horses in their charge.

bloodstock editorial

Bloodstock editorial comment

R

evealing your hand before a “consultation” starts is something that any amateur slewth or “Columbo-type” would refrain from doing.

So it seems odd that the British Horseracing Authority sanctioned the printing of the extensive Racing Post “Lee Mottershead columns” ahead of its bloodstock integrity review, due to be concluded next spring.

And the editorial unfortunately rather mixed things – perfectly legal actions and normal auction ring processes such as the placing of reserves (often not at the actual price a vendor is looking for but at a point to get the horse on to the market) and the perfectly permissible bidding by a vendor, or an agent acting for him on his own horse or partnership, with the illegal action of duplicity by an agent breaking agency conduct rules and taking money from all sides of the deal.

While possibly an examination of vendor bidding needs to be examined in the context of those who don’t understand how the sale ring works, the sale ring needs rapid flexibility and the ability for consignors to be able to keep their horse at a price.

The sales process must also be fluid enough for people on all sides of the deal to quickly

22

www.internationalthoroughbred.net

We discuss some of the issues recently raised in the wider racing media change their plans if required, and reserves need using in order to maintain the pace of selling.

If you speak with anyone who has sold a horse, you can be sure that he or she will have at some point changed their minds about retaining or selling horse while it is actually in the ring, reacting to the strength and depth of the market at that exact point in time.

And, of course, consignors need to be able to take their horse home if it is not fetching sums required; that individual on four legs can represent a lifetime of investment and there may be further opportunities for it to realise the sums required on a different occasion when trade is better or the pedigree has improved (and this sometimes can happen very quickly, unlike in the world of antiques or art).

There will be many more times, however, that a consignor will be more than grateful

there is anyone in the ring at all willing to buy their horse, and more usually retention plans are downscaled through the bidding process.

What also tends to happen in reality, if a consignor is a frequent retainer of his or her stock, or tries too often to push the price too high, that knowledge is quickly gathered by agents and regular buyers, and no one follows those horses into the ring.

There is nothing worse for an agent or buyer than having successfully “revved up” a client to buy a particular a horse to find out that the vendor never had any real intention of selling. It is the quickest way for any consignor of horses to lose future buyers.

It has to be remembered that no one has to buy a horse, and no one is forced to buy a horse above their budget or the value that they themselves place on it.

And yes the sale ring is full of danger: it is a commercial environment in which people who derive their living from selling horses at just one or two points in the year make their annual income so ensuring that they can pay their bills, continue their businesses and livelihoods.

To believe that consignors are not going to try and sell for as much as possible is naïve – but of course this has to be done in appropriate and legal manner with the correct framework in place.

bloodstock editorial

Those coming into the market, or in fact any purchaser, should ensure they work with an experienced reputable agent, trainer or advisor.

The bloodstock or racing industry perhaps needs to do more to ensure that it is easy for newcomers to find a “golden” list of agents, or that they can easily find impartial bloodstock advisors who can point them in the right direction (which is actually what the membership of the Federation of Bloodstock Agents is supposed to offer, though the website is now woefully out of date).

Maybe there should be posters, much like in the racecourse stable staff canteens regarding inside knowledge and where to get advice on broader issues of working in a yard, around the sale rings explaining the sale process?

That right advisor, with extensive knowledge of the sale ring, is aware of all the pitfalls and financial danger that an auction ring can bring: they will have a good idea of the reserve price, can value the horse, will understand when the horse is on the market, and will have a good idea, or will have found out, the full details the horse’s ownership.

Agents will also keep a clear head through the bidding process, an adrenaline-driven and heart thumping situation in which others, particularly over-excited prospective buyers, can loose theirs.

There is a lot more to buying a horse than just looking at it in the stable yard and deciding that all its legs point in the right direction.

And that is why the agency rules are key to the integrity of the whole process, as owners need to have full confidence in the man or woman working for them.

And if they truly believe that those obligations have not been fulfilled, then there should be an easily accessible, more well-advertised complaints procedure that all buyers with all sizes of wallets can rely on.

That is not to pander to owners’ anger when they complain that their agent has bought a horse who has not lived up to expectations or has not returned prize-money levels expected… (and prize-money needs to move forward again even after the Levy developments this year, being perhaps the area which the BHA should be concentrating on further on if they wish to ensure that buyers continue to purchase bloodstock in

There is a lot more to buying a horse than just looking at it in the stable yard and deciding that all its legs point in the right direction England or Ireland).

The auction ring is the very best place for most people to buy a horse. The auction houses take the responsibility for what can be a large and complex financial transaction, carry out checks on the credentials of buyers, offer some credit terms to some purchasers but will pay out to sellers, while the bidding process is filmed and reviewed in case of query.

(In particular that is an important service when getting towards the end of the horsesin-training sales when many buyers from abroad with less-than-perfect English are active at the lower price bands.)

And the sales companies can also easily start to restrict the bidding actions of those whom they think are abusing their positions.

Most horses find their true market value – to their sellers’ delight or disappointment – through those two and a half minutes that they walk around that the sale ring. No matter how much a vendor might try to sell a horse and via whatever methods, if that horse has no commercial or racing or bloodstock appeal, then no agent or trainer will buy at the price hoped for.

T

he Bloodstock Industry Code of Practice (Schedule 4 in the BHA’s Rules Of Racing) was reviewed 10 years ago and of course it is time it is reviewed; processes always need examining and re-examining.

It is important to see if it is still relevant, needs updating, and whether people are adhering to the legal framework it stands for within a wider content of the law of agency.

If there is any suggestion of illegal behaviour found through this consultation, then that obviously need to be dealt with appropriately With new, and particularly a lot of foreign purchasers coming into the market, yes there needs to be a perhaps more obvious way and more secure way for them to be involved.

But people also need to use their own heads, be responsible for themselves, conduct their own due diligence on individuals they are working with, keep on reviewing actions, costs and performance, and get their own operational contracts in place in writing between each other.

These are all things that could be advised upon by a more obvious “bloodstock welcoming committee” building on the work that GBRI’s has done and providing advice that should be flagged up and easy for newcomers to find at all major sales, with a well-publicised associated independant website for pre-arrival advice.

There is a lot of information at the front of the catalogues, and Tattersalls does produce a Guide to Sales, but perhaps this needs a greater online identity and be more publically available.

Maybe there should also be some thought to creation of a more formal bloodstock organisation with members from all sides of the business – vendors, buyers, agents, sales companies – able to meet a few times of the year to discuss any issues.

Bloodstock auctions are fluid and fastmoving, they react quickly to commercial and economic change, are dynamic and exciting, and, despite some recent comments, still offer the most transparent market place and safest environment in which to buy or sell a horse.

Buyers may be purchasing a racehorse for the leisure activity that owning a racehorse brings, but the sellers are making incomes from that sale.

For both sellers and buyers, the sale ring can be the best place to be and the very worst; fortunes can be won and lost.

If the BHA wishes, as stated in Nick Rust’s leaked letter ‘“to conduct a review of the buying and selling of racehorses and bloodstock in connection with British racing”, it might be better advised to conduct and conclude the review, rather than allowing a pre-trial by media.

rankel was the name in focus on Qipco Champions Day at Ascot. The man, as Aidan O’Brien equalled Bobby Frankel’s world record of 25 top-level victories in a year. And the horse, with the emergence of a topclass son for the great US trainer’s equine namesake.

That O’Brien, no stranger to rewriting statistics, would supply yet another piece of history this season had been apparent for some time, with only the where and

when to be decided.

It fell to Hydrangea in the Fillies & Mares Stakes to match Bobby Frankel’s mark, set in 2003, and perhaps appropriately, for the three-year-old’s progress has exemplified much of what has set her trainer apart.

She’s one of the typical tough, hardworking, versatile Ballydoyle inmates, expected to do her job but at the same time given opportunities to learn and develop along the way and bloom when the time is right.

She was one of the best of the Ballydoyle fillies at two, with two Group 1 second places.

She started her second campaign back in April with a narrow defeat of her subsequent four-time Group 1-winning stablemate Winter, but though she danced most top-level dances through the spring and summer, she was always a bridesmaid on jockey bookings and third places were the best she achieved.

Even when she finally notched her own first Group 1 success – beating her habitual workmate and track nemesis Winter a head in the Matron Stakes – the praise was rather faint; the focus by outside observers more on the runner-up’s lack of match-fitness after a lay-off.

But three weeks later, Hydrangea confirmed her place back among the elite as she went under by a head to another of the Ballydoyle brigade Rhododendron – who had twice beaten her as a juvenile – in the Prix de l’Opera.

A step up to a 1m4f for the first time at Ascot might have seemed a bold call, but it came off gloriously as the daughter of Galileo drew away from Prix Vermeille (G1) winner Bateel through the final furlong.

uk racing As usual, O’Brien deflected praise for his achievements.

“It’s a special day,” he said, “and it’s incredible for everyone, all the people who work hard day in, day out. We’re just a small link in a big chain and we’re proud and delighted for everybody.”

A workforce of skilled, trusted employees is essential and their value a given, but in the end it is the man at the top who matters most.

And anyone who has ever watched O’Brien saddle a horse on the racecourse can see a microcosm of what goes on behind the scenes at Ballydoyle.

Yes, he has his team around him, but his are the last hands on, as he brushes out a tail and smooths a mane and forelock with the

“What superlatives can you use?” asked Coolmore partner Michael Tabor, whose colours were carried by O’Brien’s first Flat Group 1 winner Desert King in the 1996 National Stakes.

“He is just incredible, produces the goods again and again. It’s all very well having the raw material, which you have to have, but every year Aidan’s just relentless. Sometimes you might not expect a result, but we know him too well to doubt him.”

The chain referred to by O’Brien is the one that starts and ends at Coolmore, and his greatest ally in this, and for many another year, has been the County Tipperary operation’s superstar stallion Galileo, who

uk racing will win his ninth championship this year.

The record-equalling 25 wins came from 14 individuals of whom nine are by Galileo: Churchill, Winter, Highland Reel, Capri, Happily, Order Of St George, Clemmie, Rhododendron and Hydrangea.

Two others, the siblings Roly Poly and US Navy Flag, are out of a Galileo mare.

Hydrangea was inconvenienced by neither the step-up in distance (she is sister to high-class Australian middle-distance performer The United States) nor the testing, rain-softened turf at Ascot (she is out of the Group 2-winning sprinter Beauty Is Truth, by soft-ground influence Pivotal).

Order Of St George, who instigated an O’Brien Champions Day double in the Group 2 Long-Distance Cup three weeks after his fine fourth to Enable in the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe, has shown his best form on a sounder surface, but shrugged off the conditions to catch Torcedor inside the final 75 yards, a conspicuous display of hardy courage.

“He’s by Galileo,” he said. “And they just don’t stop.”

Galileo, more than £9 million clear of Dubawi on the European sires’ list, is on the brink of a seasonal record of his own – Hydrangea gave him his 23rd top-level strike of 2017, one behind his personal best of 24 last year.

He is not likely to relinquish his crown any time soon, but the search is on to identify his successor.

ronically, his best young stallion sons are resident outside Coolmore: New Approach at Dalham Hall, Teofilo at Kildangan, Nathaniel at Newsells Park and Frankel at Banstead Manor (See Alan Porter, page 72).

O’Brien may have the monopoly in quantity at the highest level this year, but it is John Gosden who leads the way in terms of pure quality. In the triple Oaks, King George and Arc winner Enable, by Nathaniel, and Cracksman, by Frankel, his Clarehaven yard in Newmarket houses the two best three-yearolds in Europe.

When Frankel, unbeaten in 14 runs and rated one of the best horses in Turf history, retired, the perceived wisdom was that he’d never sire anything as good as himself – freaks like that don’t – but if he got one within a stone of his ability, he’d still have a Group 1 winner.

So step forward Cracksman, who lit up Champions Day with his magnificent victory

www.internationalthoroughbred.net

Cracksman’s well-guided progress through the season has had a certain feeling of destiny about it

in the Champion Stakes.

Five years earlier, Frankel had ended his racing career in the 1m2f contest. For him, and for Cracksman, the 2017 running marks a beginning – a first Group 1 winner in Europe for the stallion, sealing his excellent start at stud, and a confirmed place at the top table for the colt.

Cracksman’s well-guided progress through the season has had a certain feeling of destiny about it. After a narrow victory in the Derby Trial at Epsom, he started favourite for the Classic itself and showed his latent class by finishing a close third to the O’Brien

uk racing Highland Reel, giving Frankie Dettori his first Champion Stakes.

“He’s grown up a lot,” said Gosden of Cracksman. “He used to flip and flop about a bit and coming down to Tattenham Corner in the Derby he got in a dreadful muddle.

“But he’s bigger and stronger now, like a fighter, weighing more – he started as a middleweight, now he’s a light-heavyweight.

“He handled this ground probably better than any of the others, but he handles good to firm as well. The decision to miss the Arc was difficult, but I felt Enable was just that bit more in the zone than him for that race.”

Cracksman is the second Group 1 winner for Frankel, his first being the filly Soul Stirring, winner as a juvenile in Japan and of her local Oaks this year.

He has had 16 Group winners in his first two crops, and sits fourth – behind Galileo, Dubawi and Dark Angel – in the year’s British and Irish overall sires’ earnings table.

Oppenheimer is by no means on the breadline as a breeder, but he does not have the same numbers or resources as the Coolmore partners, or Abdullah, or Cheveley Cracksman: lived up to his destiny

duo Wings Of Eagles and Cliffs Of Moher, followed by an even-closer second to another from Ballydoyle, Capri, in the Irish Derby.

Then, after a seven-week break, the raw but talented baby gave way to the racehorse.

Wide-margin wins in a pair of Group 2s, the Great Voltigeur Stakes and the Prix Niel, put him in the mix for the Arc, but his stable had Enable, reckoned to be that bit more streetwise, earmarked for that.

She remains in training, as does Cracksman, and the pair are already the two market leaders for the 2018 Arc, back at Longchamp.

They are in different ownership – Enable carries the Frankel colours of Prince Khalid Abdullah, and Cracksman those of Anthony Oppenheimer – and a clash between them will be worth travelling for.

At Ascot, Cracksman revelled in the conditions – he is out of the Pivotal mare Rhadegunda, whose best performance was a Listed win in heavy ground at Fontainebleau – to bring back memories of some of his sire’s runaway performances.

He came in 7l clear of Poet’s Word, runnerup in the Irish Champion Stakes (G1) on his previous run, and six-time Group 1 winner

“It never worries me taking on colts late in the season with a filly,” said Gosden. “I think they go through hell in the spring and summer, coming in and out of season. Then in late summer and autumn everything is settled and they can concentrate on racing.”

Unusually, Cheveley Park’s Champions Day heroine was not one of their home-breds.

Persuasive was a €180,000 yearling at Goffs, bred by John Tuthill at his Owenstown Stud in County Kildare from the Listed winner Choose Me, by Choisir. The fouryear-old is another from a distinguished family, her fourth dam being the top-class runner Cairn Rouge, winner of the Irish 1,000 Guineas, Coronation Stakes and Champion Stakes in 1980.

Persuasive supplied a first for her sire Dark Angel – not a first Group 1 win, as the Yeomanstown Stud resident already has had Park Stud, whose Persuasive gave Gosden and Dettori an Ascot double in the Queen Elizabeth II Stakes.

So, for his family’s Newmarket nursery Hascombe & Valiant Stud to have produced two horses of the calibre of Golden Horn, winner of the Derby and Arc in 2015, and Cracksman in the space of three years, is some achievement.

The pair have a common ancestress in their fourth dam Lora, acquired as a yearling in 1973 for 28,000gns by Oppenheimer’s father Philip.

The Lorenzaccio mare’s daughters include 1982 1,000 Guineas heroine On The House (Be My Guest), whose Green Desert daughter St Radegund, a minor winner, produced Rhadegunda, the dam of Cracksman.

The QE II winner Persuasive was another more favoured by the underfoot conditions than her rivals, coming with a sweeping run under Dettori to cut down the battling Ribchester and Churchill.

Her profile has been sharply progressive since she won the Sandringham Handicap at the Royal meeting last year. She ended 2016 by chasing home Alice Springs in the Matron Stakes (G1), and despite defeats against her own sex this year, Gosden was happy to pitch her in against colts for her swansong.

Or perhaps there was no despite about it – even apart from Enable, the filly division is notably strong this year, and the grey’s third to Hydrangea in the Matron Stakes, second

uk racing Mecca’s Angel, Lethal Force, Harry Angel and Battaash to his credit, but a first Group 1 win beyond sprint distances.

On Britain’s richest day’s racing there was a pair apiece for this season’s biggest guns, O’Brien and Gosden.

But the fifth feature on Champions Day, the Sprint, gave one of the sport’s smaller operators a share of the massive prize-money – £4,342,000 – on offer.

In seeing off Tasleet and Caravaggio, with the season’s divisional leader Harry Angel only fourth, Librisa Breeze gave trainer Dean Ivory, based near Radlett in Hertfordshire, his first Group 1 success.

The five-year-old gelding, ridden by Robert Winston, had never previously won a Pattern race, but had finished second in the Hungerford Stakes in August and fourth in the Diamond Jubilee Stakes (G1) in June.

And he clearly loves Ascot, having won two good handicaps at the track last year and finished second in the Royal Hunt Cup. “We’ve done well to get where we are with him,” said Ivory. “You persevere and hope for a bit of luck, and the luck’s come good. We’ve always believed in him, but he’s a horse who’s never really had a clear run this year, but he’s now grown into himself. He’s a proper horse.”

Librisa Breeze carries the colours of Tony Bloom, owner of premier league football club Brighton, and of Withhold, winner of the Cesarewitch a week earlier. Librisa made the transfer to Ivory after being sold out of Jeremy Noseda’s yard as a three-year-old for 90,000gns.

The grey was bred at Newsells Park Stud, and has emerged as the best to date by thenresident Mount Nelson (now in the NH sector at Boardsmill) out of Bruxcalina, a Linamix half-sister to Prix du Jockey-Club (G1) third Baraan and to smart hurdler Brampour.

O

’Brien had set up his record-equalling day at Ascot with another statistical blitz a week earlier at Newmarket.

Having won both the Cheveley Park Stakes with Clemmie, and the Middle Park Stakes with US Navy Flag, two weeks before that, he brought the colt back for the Dewhurst Stakes.

US Navy Flag not only duly followed up – becoming the first since Diesis in 1982 to win both prestige races – but led home a 1-2-3-4 for his trainer, followed in by Mendelssohn, Seahenge and Threeandfourpence.

With Ryan Moore’s aid the race panned out perfectly for US Navy Flag, who made all

Librisa Breeze: well-placed by trainer Dean Ivory to win the British Champions Sprint after being switched to the stands’ rail. He was never taken on in front and strode away for a clear success in a juvenile track record.

It was the tough, progressive colt’s tenth run of the season and his third win in a row. “His sister Roly Poly was very good at 6f, better over seven and even better over a mile,” said O’Brien, “so it’s entirely possible he’ll get the mile.

“He’s got more substance than she has, but what they have in common is that they’re both very genuine. They don’t flinch when they get there. But then their dam is a very good Galileo mare.”

US Navy Flag and Roly Poly are out of the top-class former Ballydoyle inmate Misty For Me, winner of the Moyglare Stud Stakes, Prix Marcel Boussac, Irish 1,000 Guineas and Pretty Polly Stakes.

The colt is, after War Command and Air Force Blue (neither of whom won again), the third Dewhurst winner by Claiborne-based War Front, one of Coolmore’s preferred outcross sires.

All four of the Dewhurst principals are by Kentucky stallions Threeandfourpence also

by War Front and the other two by the late Scat Daddy.

O’Brien missed the Newmarket juvenile “double double” by about half an inch, the distance by which Laurens beat unlucky September in the Fillies’ Mile.

Laurens, trained by Karl Burke, was in front after a furlong and held on gamely to repel September, who was checked twice as she began her challenge.

“She’s a galloper rather than a speed horse,” said Burke, “with a fantastic action, like a ballerina. When we step up to a 1m2f next year she’s going to be very good.”

French-bred Laurens, a £220,000 Doncaster yearling, is by Siyouni out of the Cape Cross mare Ricambe, a minor winner up to 1m6f in France.

After Ervedya, Laurens is a second toplevel winner for Bonneval-based Siyouni, one of France’s best young sires, and the Prix de Diane, and the premiums it offers, is Laurens’ prime target next year.

In due course she will be part of her owner John Dance’s nascent bloodstock empire at Fair Winter Farm in Buckinghamshire.

Crème de la crème at Chantilly

Jocelyn de Moubray reports from the Arc meeting which saw an imperious victory for Nathaniel’s daughter Enable, strong juvenile performances with success for sires Galileo and Dubawi, and Battaash speed to glory for Dark Angel

P

RINCE Khalid Abdullah’s Enable became the latest of a series of star fillies to win the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe.

The John Gosden-trained daughter of Nathaniel was well on top of her rivals and was still pulling for head when the field raced passed the chateau towards the home straight.

She passed the post two and a half lengths clear, a winning margin only bettered by Treve, Danedream and Sakhee in recent years.

The Arc de Triomphe has been dominated by fillies in recent years. Fillies have won six of the last seven Arcs and seven of the ten runnings since Zarkava’s victory in 2008.

In a strange coincidence, which can only be

... as an aside it is interesting to note that, of the nine fillies who won the Arc between 1974 and 2008, Zarkava became the fourth to produce a Group 1 winner a quirk of chance, the same thing happened from the mid-1970s to the mid-1980s.

Fillies won six of the ten Arcs from Allez France in 1974 to All Along in 1984.

And yet all variables tend to revert towards the mean and colts won 23 of the 24 Arcs from Sagace in 1985 to Dylan Thomas in 2007, the only exception being the filly Urban Sea, who won as a four-year-old in 1993. Of the 44 Arcs run since Allez France’s victory, colts have won 29 and fillies 15.

There is no point looking for an explanation for the runs of exceptional females, but as an aside it is interesting to note that, of the nine fillies who won the Arc between 1974 and 2008, Zarkava became the fourth to produce a Group 1 winner when Zarak won this year’s Grand Prix de Saint Cloud.

Detroit produced the Arc winner Carnegie, Gold River the Saint Alary winner Riviere D’Or and, of course, Urban Sea became the greatest broodmare of modern times producing Sea The Stars and Galileo, as well as other lesser Group 1 winners.

Enable joins a smaller group of fillies who won the Arc as three-year-olds. In the modern era there have been seven: San San, Three Troikas, Detroit, Akiyda, Zarakava, Danedream, Treve and Enable.

Danedream, who was trained by Peter Schiergen in Cologne, and Enable are the only two who were not trained in France, and the

only ones who had already raced against colts and older horses before lining up for the Arc. Enable is the first filly to win the Oaks at Epsom and then the Arc – those who came close in the past include Sun Princess and User Friendly who finished second in the Arcs of 1983 and 1992, and Taghrooda who was third in 2014.

No one doubts that Enable is very good indeed. The daughter of Nathaniel dominated her Arc rivals and the only moment of anxiety for her supporters came early on in the race when, for a moment, she was caught between two of the Aidan O’Brien-trained runners.

Dettori clearly felt uncomfortable and pulled his filly back to be able to take up a better position clear of his chief rival’s team.

As in many of her races Enable was not exactly settled during the first half of the race and left alone by her jockey she would have been happier to race faster through the first mile of the race.

Dettori has, however, learnt to preserve Enable’s speed for the end of her races and again she showed she has a turn of foot at the end of a well-run 1m4f race which makes her near impossible to beat or even to threaten.

As the Arc field turned into Chantilly’s straight with 600m to run, Enable was in third place about 3l behind the leader

Idaho who was closely followed by Order Of St George. From this position Enable ran to the line in about 35.86secs.

Remarkably, this was the fastest final 600m of the day on the round course. Enable ran the final 600m about 2l faster than Rhododendron at the end of the 2000m of the Prix de l’Opera (G1) and Wild Illusion when winning the mile Prix Marcel Boussac (G1).

The last 600m was also faster than the final 600m Found ran when breaking the course record in the first of the two Chantilly Arcs.

In 2016 the ground was good and the race was run at a remarkably fast pace from beginning to end; in 2017 the ground was soft and the early pace sensible, but Enable finished at the speed of a great champion.

Enable’s final time of 2m28.69s was some five seconds slower than Found’s track record, but by way of a comparison, for top races run over the track on soft ground it was faster than the Jockey Clubs of either Montjeu or Peintre Celebre.

Enable is the best of a very promising first-crop produced by her sire Nathaniel.

euro racing than soft and throughout the weekend it proved, as had been the case in 2016, very difficult to make ground from the rear.

Coolmore’s filly Happily was the winner of the Lagardère. She came from the furthest off the pace and the Galileo filly looked to have little chance of getting to the colts Olmedo and Godolphin’s Masar when these two began racing head to head at the top of the straight.

Under a typically determined ride from Ryan Moore the filly got ahead in the final 50m to win by a length and a quarter with Olmedo edging out Masar for second.

Happily is the fourth Group 1 performer her dam Youaresothrilling has produced in five matings with Galileo.

Magical, another Galileo filly from the Aidan O’Brien stable out of a top mare, had been only a short head behind Happily in the Moyglare Stakes (G1), but could only finish fourth in the Marcel Boussac just under 2l behind Godolphin’s Dubawi filly Wild Illusion suggesting that this was a high-class race.

Magical’s dam Halfway To Heaven

According to the RP ratings Nathaniel has 17 three-year-olds rated 95 or higher from 63 three-year-old runners, a record which already puts him among the leading sires in Europe. On the Weatherbys Global Stallion app, he has had 11 British and European Group and Listed race winners and performers.

He appears to be a dominant genetic influence as his progeny share many characteristics with their sire.

Many, including Enable, have improved dramatically during their three-year-old career, many are middle-distance horses with the majority of his progeny’s wins coming over distances between 1m2f and 1m4f, and then, like Enable, many look at their best when racing close to the pace and quickening at the end of their races.

Nathaniel himself made all the running to win the King George (G1), his full-sister Great Heavens made all to win Lancashire Oaks (G2) and their three-parts sister Playful Act made all to win the Fillies’ Mile (G1).

Aside from Enable’s brilliance the other talking point of the weekend was the lack of success of French-trained runners in the main races.

For the second year in a row France’s trainers won only one of the seven Group 1 races thanks to Vazirabad’s victory in the Prix du Cadran.

They managed a total of seven Group 1 places in total, far better than the three France’s trainers achieved in 2016.

Vazirabad may have been the only winner but Mille Et Mille, Karar, Lady Frankel, Olmedo, Mission Impassable, Polydream and Cloth Of Stars were all placed.

With the possible exception of Polydream, who appeared to be particularly unsuited to the sticky ground, the other six put up close to career-best performances and so the problem was not due to a lack of form or the way the races were run.

Group 1 races are competitive and those on the Arc weekend are among the most competitive of the season.

Four of the seven are either for twoyear-olds or run over less than a mile, and French racing rarely excels in either of these divisions.

euro racing More to come from Dubawi

It is hard to realise when his yearlings are averaging more than £700,000, but Dubawi is only at the beginning of his time as an expensive stallion.

This year’s three-year-olds were conceived at a fee of £75,000, his two-year-olds from £100,000 and his yearlings £125,000.

Since 2016, Dubawi has been standing at more than £200,000 and he now receives a selection of the best mares in the world, which was not of course always the case.

Dubawi’s results have improved significantly since his fee increased and are very likely to continue to do so in the years ahead.

He has sired seven three-year-olds with a rating higher than 110 headed by the Group 1-winning fillies Sobestu and Wuheida and his two-year-olds include, at the time of writing, three Group winners in Wild Illusion, Glorious Journey and Anna Nerium, Wild Illusion is his second Group 1-winning juvenile.

Dubawi is four years younger than Galileo and in many ways their stud careers have followed a similar path.

Both covered at fees of less than £50,000 for five years before their true merit was recognised – Dubawi started his first season at only £25,000 and his fee dropped as low as £15,000 and £20,000 in 2009 and 2010.

This was not very different to Galileo who started out at £IR60,000 and then fell as low as €37,500 for two seasons, the equivalent of £25,000 at the time.

Galileo’s early crops did not include many top two-year-olds either, but Coolmore and

other breeders quickly adapted and learnt how to mate him and produce faster and more precocious horses and Dubawi’s career is following a similar trend.

The Prix de l’Opera over 1m2f was another good example of the current bloodstock world.

Five top fillies finished within a length of each other with Coolmore’s Rhododendron narrowly defeating her stable-mate Hydrangea with Lady Frankel, Wuheida and Left Hand close behind, two daughters of Galileo beating a Frankel filly and two Dubawis.

The odd one out in this group is Lady Frankel, a half-sister to the top sire Lope De Vega, as she is the only one who has yet to win a Group 1 race.

Rhododendron has remarkably come back after bleeding so badly in the Prix de Diane (G1) that she was pulled up, and she and Hydrangea were prominent from the start and those coming from behind like Lady Frankel could never quite get to them.

The Arc weekend ended with impressive Group 1 wins from Acclamation’s son Aclaim in the Prix de la Forêt over 7f and even more so from Acclamation’s grandson Battaash, who ran away from his rivals with ease to win the Prix de l’Abbaye de Longchamp by 4l.

Battaash was bred by Paul McCartan’s Ballyphilip Stud in Ireland who sent two mares to Dark Angel in 2013 when he was standing at €12,500 and bred two Group 1-winning sprinters, Harry’s Angel and Battaash.

Reliable Man’s colt Erasmus making a name for himself There was some significant racing in Cologne the weekend before the Arc when Gestüt Röttgen’s Windstoss became the first three-year-old colt to win a Group 1 race against older horses over middle-distances in 2017.

The Markus Klug-trained son of Shirocco confirmed the form of his Derby win by coming from behind in a strongly run race to win the Group 1 Preis von Europa by 4l from Son Macia, Colomano and Savoir Vivre.

This was not the strongest Group 1 of the year, but Windstoss proved that he is a high-class horse in a fast run 1m4f race and he stays in training to be aimed at international middle-distance races in 2018.

There were two impressive two-year-old winners in Cologne with the Klug-trained Holy Roman Emperor filly Rock My Love winning a Listed race over 7f100yds by 3l, and

Battaash shows a clean pair of heels to his rivals in the Group 1 Prix de l’Abbaye to become Dark Angel’s fourth top level winner (and the sire has since had a fifth with Persuasive’s Ascot success)

then her stable companion Erasmus, a son of first-season sire Reliable Man and the German Oaks winner Enora, broke his maiden by nearly 5l in a similarly impressive fashion.

Erasmus went on to a clear success in Germany’s important juvneile colts’ race, the Preis des Winterfavoriten (G3), from Salve Del Rio (Rio De la Plata) and Wild Max, a son of Maxios trained by Andreas Wohler for Australian Bloodstock who made a 7l-winning debut at Dortmund in September.

Melissa Bauer-Herzog reports from the Breeders’ Cup prep meetings

W

hen US-based trainers announced that multiple high profile horses would skip the final set of Breeders’ Cup preps in favour of going into the championships fresh, it seemed like it may set a new trend.

But luckily for US racing, the back-to-back weekends of preps were full of high quality racing even though some of racing’s biggest stars were missing Twenty-five major prep races took place during a two-week period in late September and early October with many of the winners heading to Del Mar in November for their respective Breeders’ Cup races.

Perhaps the most popular victory of all was that of international star Mubtaahij, who was

making his first start for trainer Bob Baffert in the Grade 1 Awesome Again Stakes. With stablemate Arrogate left in the barn, Mubtaahij scored a first US Grade 1 win on Dirt for sire Dubawi.

Dubawi was one of 18 different stallions to sire a winner in the major preps and one of only three international sires to get a horse in the winner’s circle over the two Super Weekends.

Six different stallions racked up two winners in the big races with Lane’s End stablemates Union Rags, sire of Paradise Woods, winner of the Zenyatta Stakes, the youngest of the group, and Lemon Drop Kid the oldest. He sired Beach Patrol, winner of the Joe Hirsch Turf Classic Stakes, and Romantic Vision, winner of the Spinster Stakes.

Malibu Moon: enjoying a rich vein of form with the crop conceived the year after Orb won the KentuckyDerby

www.internationalthoroughbred.net

Malibu Moon showed that having a Kentucky Derby winner can add a major kick to a stallion’s stud career by siring two twoyear-old Grade 1 winners conceived the year after Orb won the 2013 Kentucky Derby for the stallion.

His prep season wasn’t over with those two winners as he also sired Maya Malibu, the third place finisher in the juvenile Frizette Stakes (G1) at Belmont to show that the best may be yet to come for the 20-year-old stallion.

Overall, Malibu Moon’s sire A.P. Indy was the star of the show with four sons and one grandson siring prep winners.

A.P. Indy himself was the damsire of three horses to hit the board in preps, and sire or grandsire of three other damsires.

His biggest winner of the season is Bolt D’Oro, favourite for Breeders’ Cup Juvenile and championship honours after winning his first three starts including two Grade 1s.

Out of a winning A.P. Indy mare Bolt D’Oro, successful in the Frontrunner Stakes (G1), was one of two Grade 1 winners for Medaglia D’Oro during the preps in the last weekend of September and one of three to hit the board in prep races.

The loss of Scat Daddy in late 2015 has been a big loss this year, and even more so through the prep weekend when the late stallion sired two winners and two second place finishers in Keeneland and Belmont prep races.

That was headlined by a 1-2 finish in the Bourbon Stakes (G3) at Keeneland with three of his four big players in the preps being twoyear-olds.

His influence as an up-and-coming broodmare sire was seen two days previously when Whitmore won the Phoenix Stakes (G2).

Scat Daddy’s final crop was in high

us racing demand at yearling sales around the world this year and it’s easy to see why.

Kitten’s on the move

Kitten’s Joy’s relocation to Hill ‘n’ Dale this autumn already looked like a smart move on the farm’s part, but even more so going into the Breeders’ Cup. The El Prado son had three horses place in graded stakes during the preps, including last year’s Breeders’ Cup winner Oscar Performance on his first start against elders.

Formerly standing at Ramsey Farm, Hill ‘n’ Dale and partners bought shares in Kitten’s Joy when part-owner Ken Ramsey voiced interest in relocating the stallion, and he moved him across town to the farm to join a roster that includes top stallion Curlin.

Curlin himself had bad luck with three different horses finishing second in Grade 1 races, including two two-year-olds.

His Grade 1-winning son Keen Ice finished second in the Jockey Club Gold Cup (G1) and looks to run in the Breeders’ Cup Classic (G1) before retiring to the legendary Calumet Farm for 2018.

While Curlin’s best crops are almost certainly still to come, he’s also having some

War Front has worked hard this year to shed his reputation as a sire “who can’t sire graded stakes winners who win past two” success as a broodmare sire.

The stallion played a part in Scat Daddy’s success when his daughter’s Seabhac – a son of Scat Daddy – won the Pilgrim Stakes (G3) at Belmont Park.

Two of the last five Pilgrim winners have went on to win Breeders’ Cup races, perhaps a good sign for both stallions.

War Front has worked hard this year to shed his reputation as a sire “who can’t sire graded stakes winners who win past two” and the prep races have helped him with that in recent weeks.

While US Navy Flag has pulled off a two-year-old Group 1 double with his victory in the Dewhurst Stakes after the Middle Park, five-year-old Avenge won her

second Rodeo Drive Stakes (G1).

The following weekend War Front pulled off another Group 1 double as US Navy Flag’s three-year-old sister Roly Poly won another Group 1 just a few hours before his four-yearold War Flag won her first career Grade 1.

War Front’s lone Breeders’ Cup victory came with two-year-old Hit It A Bomb, but as of press time, he has multiple horses listed as probable in the non-juvenile Breeders’ Cup races this year.

Gainesway and Don Alberto’s purchase of Empire Maker looks a better and better buy with every passing day, especially this Breeders’ Cup season.

While he didn’t sire any prep winners, two different sons sired runners who placed in Grade 1 preps and his daughters had three hit the board, including a win in the Frizette Stakes (G1) and a second-third finish in the Pilgram Stakes.

Empire Maker’s first crop of weanlings to hit the ground since his return from Japan will be sold at sales in November.

While the prep races were missing some of the biggest stars, horses such as Arrogate, Lady Eli and Stellar Wind are scheduled to make their last starts at those races before retiring or selling later that week.

Empire Maker is back in the US after his five-year sojourn to Japan. He is at Gainesway Farm, having previously been with Juddmonte

Change at the top Arrogate’s recent defeats, and the top performances by Cracksman, Enable and Battaash, has seen something of a change in the world order – although the mighty Winx still reigns imperious, writes Simon Rowlands

I

t has become customary in these reviews to write about Arrogate and Winx as the best active horses in the northern and southernhemispheres, to the stage of repetition perhaps.

Things may have just changed.

Winx has kept up the good work Down Under, winning with metronomic consistency, but Arrogate’s halo has slipped with two defeats, and others have more recently emerged to rival

The amazing Winx was back at the top of her game in the Turnbull Stakes at Flemington in October

Winx has kept up the good work Down Under, winning with metronomic consistency, but Arrogate’s halo has slipped him and arguably to surpass him.

Timeform has both horses currently on 134, with Arrogate well down from the 141 originally credited to him on the back of the Dubai World Cup in March.

Winx was back to her very best, having made slightly heavy weather of a few intermediate tasks, when landing the Turnbull Stakes at Flemington in October easily and by a wide margin.

Meanwhile, however, a trio of horses has emerged in Britain with claims to be considered at least their equal.

Enable has been one of the best fillies in the world since she ran away with the Oaks at Epsom in June, but it was her win in the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe at Chantilly in October that promoted her to the same 134 rating. Both she and Winx would get a sex allowance on top of that rating were they to meet males.

Later on Arc day, Battaash

was a very impressive winner of the Prix de l’Abbaye (G1) from Marsha, who had won a Nunthorpe Stakes (G1) at York in August in which Battaash had boiled over and finished only fourth.

Wide margins and a fast time at Chantilly pushed Battaash back up to 136, the highest-rated European sprinter since Dayjur (137) in 1990.

Lastly, Cracksman staked his own claim with a 7l romp in the Champion Stakes (G1) at Ascot, which trumped anything he had done previously.

His time was good, his sectionals even better, and Timeform has gone with a figure of 136, which puts him alongside Battaash at the top of the pack.

What’s more, Cracksman had previously looked better at distances longer than this 1m2f.

The stated intention at the time of writing is for Cracksman, Battaash (who is a gelding) and Enable all to stay in training in 2018: a prospect which should make the British winter that much more bearable!

The Champion Stakes was one of four Group 1s on British Champions Day at Ascot, with the others going to Mount Nelson’s son Librisa Breeze (125 in the Sprint), Galileo’s daughter Hydrangea (123 in the Fillies & Mares) and Dark Angel’s daughter Persuasive (122 in a Queen Elizabeth II Stakes in which the leaders overdid things in testing conditions).

Battaash: with Cracksman is now at the top of Timeform ratings on 136

That figure for Librisa Breeze might have earned him Champion Sprinter status in Europe in a substandard year, but 2017 has been anything but that with 133-rated Harry Angel (who paid for going for home too early at Ascot) and 130-rated Marsha also top-class.

At the other end of the distance scale, Capri (Galile0) won an above-standard St Leger at Doncaster in September with a rating of 124 and his 128-rated stable-companion and fellow son of Galileo, Order Of St George, won the Long Distance Cup (G2) at Ascot, having finished a respectable fourth to Enable in the Arc over the shorter trip.

There was also a further Group 1 win for yet another Aidan O’Brien inmate in Roly Poly (War Front), rated 121 in defeating the aforementioned Persuasive in the Sun Chariot Stakes at Newmarket early in October.

Things were a bit quieter elsewhere in the period under

review with the Breeders’ Cup at Del Mar and the Melbourne Spring Carnival firmly on the horizon.

But 129-rated victories were achieved by World Approval (Northern Afleet, Woodbine Mile) and West Coast (Flatter, Pennsylvania Derby), and around-120s ones by Humidor (Teofilo, Makybe Diva Stakes at Flemington before getting trounced there by Winx) and Boom Time (Flying Spur, Caulfield Cup).

Mid-October also saw the first running of the richest Turf race in the world, The Everest at Randwick in Sydney.

There was strength in depth, if perhaps no truly outstanding runner, and Redzel (Snitzel) grabbed the largest part of the A$10m with a 125 performance.

In Japan, Red Falx (Swept Overboard) came out best in something of a blanket finish to The Sprinters Stakes at Nakayama, earning himself a 122 rating from Timeform.

Red Falx is by Swept Overboard and won the Sprinters Stakes in Japan

Bolt D’Oro heads the juvenile list in the US

T

he search for the next Arrogate, the next Winx, and the next Cracksman and Enable, starts before they have finished, and is in fact neverending: it is one of the joys of the sport and sometimes one of its frustrations.

This year’s two-year-olds have most of their careers ahead of them, but some are already measuring up much better than others.

Top of the lot, in my opinion if not quite in Timeform’s, is the US-trained colt Bolt D’Oro (Medaglia D’Oro), who won the Grade 1 Frontrunner Stakes at Santa Anita at the end of September by a wide margin and in what was a remarkably quick time.

52

Bolt D’Oro could easily be rated in the high-120s in time, but Timeform has opted for a wait-and-see of 119, which still identifies the colt as the best of his age group in North America.

The Breeders’ Cup Juvenile, for which Bolt D’Oro is a shortpriced favourite, should reveal more.

Bolt D’Oro was a massive 2.78s quicker than was Moonshine Memories (Malibu Moon) in winning the Grade 1 Chandelier on the same Santa Anita card, but the latter still rates as just about the best juvenile filly Stateside on 116.

The highest-rated juvenile colt and filly in Europe at the time of writing are both trained

by Aidan O’Brien, namely the War Front colt U S Navy Flag (winner of the Middle Park

www.internationalthoroughbred.net

Stakes and Dewhurst Stakes at Newmarket) and Galileo’s daughter Clemmie (Cheveley Park Stakes at same course).

Both recorded good times to back up their form-based ratings of 123 and 118 respectively.

U S Navy Flag is followed closely on Timeform ratings by Verbal Dexterity (Vocalised), confirmed on 122 following his National Stakes win at The Curragh, while Expert Eye (Acclamation, 117) and Sands Of Mali (Panis, 116) figure high up despite heavy defeats on their latest appearances.

The juvenile fillies in Europe seem a decent crop, and one of them – Happily (Galileo, 116) – took the Prix Jean-Luc Lagardère on Arc Day, with Wild Illusion (Dubawi, 113) claiming the Prix Marcel Boussac.

Joe Foley says a certain amount of foal buying is “instinctive�, but studying the market, form and pedigrees all has a part to play

buying and selling foals

Aisling Crowe chats with foal buyer Joe Foley about the ins and outs of foal pin-hooking

W

HEN foals START arrivING at sales complexes the business of showing them to prospective purchasers begins in earnest.

One of those who will be pouring over pedigrees and analysing the foals in front of him, looking for the gems to sparkle at next season’s yearling sales, is Ballyhane Stud’s Joe Foley.

Tattersalls and Goffs share a passing resemblance with the front rows of the major fashion houses, with buyers trying to predict what will be in demand with clients and purchasers next season.

Racing and fashion seem to be ever more linked and many are those who have noted the similarity between bloodstock

sales and catwalks.

“There is certainly a fashion graph for stallions and some are moving up while others are drifting down and you have to try and anticipate where they are going to be ten months down the line,” Foley offers his insight.

“There’s an instinctive aspect to it but that is fed by studying the market, form and pedigrees. That doesn’t mean that you will always get it right, but you get a feel for it. If the first-crop of yearlings of a particular sire look like they are going to be good, then you could chance buying a foal by that stallion.

“Conversely there are stallions the market is strong on and you need to work out if they are going to continue to be that way or see their popularity diminish.”

Foley cites the example of two of this

season’s leading second-crop sires to illustrate the folly of slavishly following fashions for stallions, and the industry’s current predilection for dismissing sires who fail to produce outstanding two-year-olds in their first season, despite their pedigrees and racing careers indicating they were more likely to excel with their three-year-olds and older horses.

The transformation in the received wisdom about Nathaniel and Bated Breath brought about by improved fortunes of their first crops from two to three, perfectly illustrates Foley’s argument about needing to be an independent thinker and have the courage of your convictions when pinhooking or breeding.

“At last year’s sales Nathaniel and Bated Breath were both cold and out of fashion but they are seen in a different light 12 months later.

“Nathaniel always had an excellent chance of improving his reputation with his first crop of three-year-olds and Bated Breath was in a similar position. He didn’t race until he was

Red Jazz: Foley supports the Ballyhane stallions in the sale ring, and is happy to show that he believes in those sires by purchasing their foals

three and was at his best as a four-year-old, so it is no surprise to see him doing so well this year.”

Looking at the current fashionability graph for stallions, Foley picks out a number of young sires who could be on their way to the top of the popularity charts at the upcoming foal sales.

“At the upper end of the yearling market I was very impressed with the Kingman yearlings and he will be a stallion to follow.

I am looking forward to seeing the Golden Horn, Gleneagles and Muhaarar foals at the sales and Showcasing’s good crops are starting to come through now so I think he will continue on an upward curve on the graph,” he adds.

Unusually, perhaps even perversely for a man who is in the business of stallions, Foley is adamant that the importance of a sire is overplayed by most pinhookers and yearling buyers.

Pedigree is hugely influential, and the success, or otherwise of the dam has a major role to play in his approach to purchasing foals.

“People are slightly too fixated on the stallions,” he reiterates. “You have to produce

I was very impressed with the Kingman yearlings and he will be a stallion to follow.

I am looking forward to seeing the Golden Horn, Gleneagles and Muhaarar foals at the sales a racehorse, that’s what you’re looking for and if the mare hasn’t done that, then it doesn’t matter if the foal is a beauty.

“If she has nine foals and only one winner then the market for that foal as a yearling is diminished and you need to factor that in.”

Naturally there is an interconnectedness when it comes to buying and selling foals and standing stallions. The foals Foley purchases are a mixture of progeny by the four

Ballyhane sires with foals on the ground and the offspring of stallions from other farms.

Of the four yearlings offered by Ballyhane Stud, it was an even split between Ballyhane stallions and other sires.

“I like buying foals from my clients in the sales ring, they support me by sending their mares to the stallions here and I support them by purchasing good foals from them,” explains the stallion master.

“When I buy a foal by one of the Ballyhane stallions I am putting my money where my mouth is. I stand the stallion, I believe in him and I am very happy to support my stallions.

That approach has been successful over the years.”

Peniaphobia, the best horse so far by Dandy Man, is a prime example of how Foley’s belief in his sire was rewarded.

Foley purchased the colt from Dandy Man’s first crop at the Goffs November Foal Sale from his breeder Aidan Fogarty and subsequently sold him for a profit at the Doncaster Premier Yearling Sale.

Three wins from four starts as a two-yearold in England saw Peniaphobia move to Hong Kong where he became Dandy Man’s first Group 1 winner and still now at the age

buying and selling foals of six he continues to perform at the highest level.

Every yearling sale, and increasingly the breeze-up sales, delivers the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow story that tempts people into parting with their cash in the hopes of hitting a similar jackpot themselves.

Edie Murray Hayden purchased a colt from the second crop of Dabirsim at the Goffs November Foal Sales for €56,000 and sold him for €500,000 at this year’s Orby Sale.

Foley also cites the example of Joanne Lavery, niece of trainer Sheila Lavery, who sold Burgundy Boy for €260,000 at the Goffs Champions’ Sale in September.

“Burgundy Boy is from Red Jazz’s first crop and Joanne bought him for €17,000 as a foal, but was only offered half that when she took him to the yearling sales last year,” recalls Foley.

“She had the courage and wisdom to hold

Experience is a big help but if you study enough you’ll get to know and understand how the whole thing works onto him and put him in training with her aunt, he won his maiden and was placed in a Group 3 and went from being offered €8,500 for him as a yearling to selling him for €260,000. Now that’s a success.”

Trying to figure out the value a foal will have as a yearling is an integral part in determining how high you are willing to bid.

In both of the examples, particularly that of Burgundy Boy, his worth as a yearling was clearly not met and Lavery had the

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

independence of mind and belief in her own convictions and in the quality of her horse to stay true to her course.

“If you pay enough attention to the yearling sales, visualise what the foal will look like as a yearling, the strength of the pedigree and the fashionability of the sire then you can make a rough guestimate of what the foal will sell for as a yearling and work back from there,” Foley explains.

“Experience is a big help but if you study enough you’ll get to know and understand how the whole thing works.”

What Foley, Lavery and Murray Hayden have in common is that success comes from being independent, drawing your own conclusions and not be swayed by the opinions of others or the dictates of fashion.

“You have to make your own opinion and stick to it, don’t listen to the chit-chat at the sales or opinions in the media, you need to make up your mind for yourself,” he reiterates.

buying and selling foals

Ross says that the land at the farm is perfect for raising foals, but ensures that he frequently samples the soil and the herbage

Raising the next generation

Gerry Ross of Kenilworth House Stud and Limekiln Stud is a leading consignor of both Flat and NH foals. Ahead of the long stint of sales in Britain and Ireland, Ross talks abut selling foals and gives the details on the drafts for this year

N

OVEMBER’S short days are long on darkness and tight on time, thousands of foals to be bought and sold between the Irish and UK sales venues.

For Gerry Ross of Kenilworth House Stud and Limekiln Stud, it is a busier month than for most as both the farm he manages and the one he owns with his wife Gwen have the rare distinction of breeding high-class horses on the Flat and over jumps.

He is a familiar fixture at the foal sales of both persuasions; one of the few who will start at Tattersalls Ireland for the marathon NH Foal Sale, continue to Goffs for the Flat foals, move on to Tattersalls in Newmarket and finally round off the season in the lead-up to Christmas with the final NH foals selling at Goffs.

Winter sales with the wind whipping outside and the house lights shining inside,

intensify the theatrics of the auction and it is a scene Ross enjoys.

“When it gets dark outside, the lights come on inside the auction house, everybody crowds around the ring, the atmosphere intensifies and the horses glow in the spotlight; it’s the best time to be selling,” is his description of the lure of the winter sales.

Established by Diana Vasicek and her late husband Joerg in 1991, Kenilworth House Stud occupies a pastoral position on the banks of the River Suir in Tipperary.

Ross became manager of the farm in 1998 when it was home to just three mares – it now houses 16 – and, more recently founded Limekiln Stud at his home five miles away.

The Group 1-winning fillies Termagent and La Collina carried the Vasicek’s maroon and blue silks to glory in races such as the Matron and Moyglare Stakes.

Over fences the five-time Grade 1 winner

Carlingford Lough, who provided Sir AP McCoy with his emotional Leopardstown Gold Cup victory the day after he announced his retirement, and his Grade 1-winning half-brother Thisthatandtother were bred by Kenilworth House Stud.

To enjoy such spectacular success in both spheres is rather unusual. Ross attributes this, at least in part, to the quality of the 200 acres of grassland Kenilworth House Stud occupies.

“Land management is vitally important, we take herbage and soil samples regularly,” he says. “We bring cattle in to graze the pasture every summer and the farmer is able to finish them here and send them straight to the factory, the land is that good.

“Whether it is cattle or horses the animals here always look fantastic and the land has a huge part to play in that, I think.”

The land and much of the neighbouring

country were victims of the wrath of Storm Ophelia. Ancient beech trees sundered by the vicious winds were strewn across the fertile paddocks, majestic oaks felled in the fields they once stood sentry, and the lines of lime trees on the scenic avenue came down.

The river, swollen by the downpours running off the mountains, could no longer be contained by its banks and had spilled its guts across the neighbouring fields. The Kenilworth fields along the three-quarters of a mile stretch of river bank were underwater, but the proximity to the Suir means they are never used for horses.

On my visit Storm Brian, trailing in Ophelia’s wake, was battering the countryside once more but the foals were safely sequestered inside their airy boxes in the main yard, sheltered from the weather.

“The place was like Beirut here through Ophelia,” samiled Ross. “You couldn’t get

down the roads with all the trees and boughs that had fallen and were blocking the path.

The electricity went too, but we got the power back relatively quick whereas at home in Limekiln, we were without power, light and water for three days.”

The timing could not have been more inconvenient with the Tattersalls Ireland NH Foal Sale just three weeks’ away when the storms delivered their one-two.

Both Kenilworth and Limekiln are in the midst of their busiest time of the year with 20 foals selling from the farms over the coming weeks. Predominantly, the stock bred by Kenilworth House sells as foals.

“We have a name for selling foals,” he explains, “so we like to sell at that age. People know our reputation and that, once the foals are on the market, they can be confident that the foals are for sale.

“You are selling into a bigger market with

foals whether they are NH or Flat-bred as you have both the end-user and the pinhooker looking to purchase stock.”

The four Flat foals bred by the farm this year feature established stallions Oasis Dream and Lope De Vega as their sires, along with foals from the first crops of Golden Horn and Make Believe, and three of the four will be offered at the Tattersalls December Foal Sale.

Limekiln consigns a son of Gleneagles at the Goffs November Foal Sale.

Ross is in the business of breeding racehorses.

“We don’t breed for the sales ring, we breed for the track. Most of the time, when a filly retires from training here she is a longterm proposition and to make a broodmare you have to go to proven stallions,” explains Ross.

“On the whole, we like to send our mares to proven stallions and even more so with the

buying and selling foals NH mares. For the sake of another €2,000 or €3,000 you can go to Shantou, Flemensfirth or one of the older boys who are well-known.”

La Collina, a Group 1 winner at two and at four, is one of the younger mares on the farm and so far she has visited Dubawi, Shamardal and Oasis Dream.

Majenta, a home-bred and the latest addition to the broodmare band, produced a filly by Lope De Vega as her first foal and is in-foal to Ifraaj.

Her dam What A Picture has produced seven winners from eight foals so far, three of them black-type horses, and has a colt foal

by Golden Horn, while Topka, a home-bred mare and the dam of Group 2 Prix Hocquart winner and Ascot Gold Cup third Top Trip, is the dam of the Make Believe filly.

“You can destroy a mare very quickly,” cautions Ross. “You know what your mare produces every year and you can make it too complicated.”

“Keep everything simple, don’t over-complicate things, that’s how I like to do things, we make our own hay and the water comes from two wells on the farm Back when bearing the surname Clinton was a precursor to electoral success, the former US President and his team were guided by the mantra “Keep it simple, stupid”, and it is a motto that Ross adheres to in his approach to breeding and raising racehorses.

“Keep everything simple, don’t overcomplicate things, that’s how I like to do things,” he says. “We make our own hay and the water comes from two wells on the farm, we feed Red Mills Stud Cubes and it works.

“The foals come in about six weeks before the sales, but they are well-handled from birth and we creep-feed them.

“We turn them out for three hours every morning before hand-walking each one. The mares come in at night, a month before their due date to get used to being inside again.

“Any young stock that we have on the farm is wintered out so they can gallop around and get as mucky as they like!”

Goffs November Foal Sale Limekiln Stud Lot 660: Gleneagles x Waveband colt “He is an end of April foal out of an Exceed And Excel mare that is a very well-developed foal and has some power to him.

“He is a very good-walking foal and his dam is a Listed-winning half-sister to Group 1 winner Muarraband a full-sister to Bungle InTheJungle. There are only nine foals by Gleneagles in the sale and people have been eager to see what his progeny are like.”

Tattersalls December Foal Sale Kenilworth House Stud Lot 938: Make Believe x Topka filly “We don’t usually send our mares to first-season sires but Topka is a proven mare who we bred and raced ourselves. Another end of April foal, this filly is a good, deep-girthed foal and very correct.”

Lot 939: Golden Horn x What A Picture colt “She has been very good to us, breeding seven winners from eight runners so far and Pretty Asset, her three-year-old filly by Shamardal won first time out for Godolphin recently.

“We sold her Lope De Vega colt at Book Two last month for 320,000gns to Sackville Donald, buying on behalf of the Leicester City owner. He was a smashing colt, a real Classic horse with a great big walk.”

Lot 940: Oasis Dream x La Collina colt “He is a very well-grown foal, very correct and good walking. He is in-bred through Sorbus who features in both the sire and dam’s pedigrees but it is very difficult to find stallions to suit La Collina with Dansili on her top line and Galileo as her damsire.

“Godolphin bought her first two foals – the twoyear-old filly Piccola Collina has run once for Charlie Appleby and had no luck in running. La Collina steps out to her chin, she is a super-walking mare, really athletic.”

“We sell two colt foals on behalf of their breeder as Lots 910 and 911. The first is by Mukhadram out of an unraced New Approach mare who is a half-sister to the Group 1 winner Earl Of Tinsdal. He is a lovely colt who walks very well.

“Lot 911 is a son of Kodiac from the family of Street Cry, Shamardal and Territories. His dam is an Authorized mare, out of a half-sister to Street Cry and to the dam of Shamardal and Geoffrey Chaucer, and this foal is a real typical Kodiac.”

Flat racing injury investigation A study of veterinary events in Flat racing Thoroughbreds in Great Britain (2000 to 2013)

by S. M. Rosanowski, Y. M. Chang, A. J. Stirk and K. L. P. Verheyen, published in the Equine Veterinary Journal

Veterinary reports were taken through the 13-year period in an attempt to understand why and what injuries occur on race day

T

his large-scale study has, for the first time, described the type and incidence of veterinary events reported during race-days in Flat racing thoroughbreds in Britain.

Soft tissue injuries other than to tendon or ligament structures, lameness with no further diagnosis and respiratory conditions were most commonly reported race-day events although none of these were associated with substantial fatality rates.

Whilst bone injuries comprised a relatively small proportion (14 per cent) of all race day veterinary events, nearly half of these (44 per cent) had a fatal outcome and the majority of fatalities (77 per cent) were associated with

bone injuries.

The overall incidence of fatality in this study of 0.76 per 1,000 starts was similar to previously reported fatality rates in British Flat racing of between 0.8 and 0.9 fatalities per 1,000 starts, suggesting that fatality rates in Flat racing have remained relatively stable in the past decade.

However, they remain substantially lower than fatality rates in jump racing, which have been reported as 4.9 and 6.7 fatalities per 1,000 starts for hurdle and steeplechase races, respectively.

Many veterinary events were classed as “gait observations”, where horses were examined for lameness but where no conclusive diagnosis was achieved.

In a study of 1,002 lame racehorses that underwent nuclear scintigraphy at two equine hospitals in North America, 19 per cent had stress fractures.

It is arguable that further diagnostic investigation of the horses classed with gait observations in this study would have revealed underlying pathology that would have allocated the veterinary event to a different category and, as a result, the incidence of bone, joint or tendon injuries reported here may reflect conservative estimates.

Lame horses are likely to have undergone further investigations when they returned home after racing, although this information was not available for the study and is not

For all injuries and fatalities, incidence rates were higher on All-Weather tracks compared to Turf tracks, and on firmer and faster turf and all-weather going, respectively reported here. The more severe veterinary events were bone, joint, tendon and ligament injuries, and most of these injuries occurred in the distal limb.

The structures most commonly affected were the third meta carpal or third metatarsal, proximal phalanx, carpus, tarsus, sesamoid bones, SDFT and the fetlock joint, which is comparable to previous studies in the racing population in Great Britain The combined incidence of bone, joint and tendon and ligament injury in the current study was lower than a previously reported estimate of 3.07 (2.78–3.37) per 1,000 Flat racing starts for all types of limb injury, although it is not exactly clear what types of limb injury were included in the previous study and therefore whether estimates are directly comparable.

The incidence of tendon and ligament injuries in the current study (0.61 per 1,000

Flat racehorses tend to have fewer tendon injuries

starts) appeared to be slightly lower than reported previously in British Flat racing horses at 0.78 (0.63–0.93 ) per 1,000 starts, although the latter study was smaller and thus the incidence estimate may be less

precise.

Overall, the incidence of tendon and ligament injuries in Flat racehorses is much lower compared with horses starting in NH races, with an incidence of 6.11 and 6.30 per 1,000 starts for hurdles and steeplechase racing respectively, due to the increased loading of limbs over jumps.

Similarly, the incidence of epistaxis remains much lower in Flat racing than in jump racing: 1.25 per 1,000 starts in the current study compared to 3.6 and 5.3 per 1,000 starts for hurdles and steeplechasing respectively, over a similar time period (2000–2009).

Race type has previously been identified as a risk factor for epistaxis, with horses involved in jumps races at a higher risk, due in part to the increased loading on the forelimbs due to jumping.

However, regardless of race type, the incidence of epistaxis (1.25 per 1,000 starts in the current study) seems to have increased compared to previously reported estimates of 0.33, 1.26 andn2.11 episodes per 1,000 Flat, hurdles and steeplechase starts, respectively.

Newton et al. hypothesised that the incidence reported was likely to be an underestimate of the total number of horses experiencing epistaxis on race day, as horses that win or place and/or horses with poor performance would be under greater veterinary observation than other horses.

Future risk fact or analysis for epistaxis may identify underlying risk factors that could help to explain the reported increase in this condition.

The observed incidence of injuries and fatalities varied by surface, sex, age and going.

equine vet For all injuries and fatalities, incidence rates were higher on All-Weather tracks compared to Turf tracks, and on firmer and faster turf and All-Weather going, respectively.

This observation is consistent with findings in previous studies assessing risk factors for epistaxis, tendon injury and fatality.

The general trend for increasing rates of tendon and ligament injury, epistaxis and fatality with increasing age seen in this study is also consistent with findings in previous studies.

Although the incidence of bone injury was lowest in two-year-olds and highest in three-year-olds, previous studies using multivariable risk factor analysis have not identified associations between age and fracture.

It would therefore be inappropriate to draw conclusions about potential associations

between age and bone injury based only on the descriptive incidence rates reported here.

Similarly, although the incidence of tendon and ligament injuries, epistaxis and fatality was higher in male horses whereas females had a higher incidence of bone injuries, it would be prudent not to draw conclusions about potential sex effects without conducting further multivariable analyses.

Previous studies identifying risk factors for tendon injuries in NH racehorses in racing and training did not identify differences between males and females in multivariable analyses although in a Hong Kong-based study, male horses were more likely to sustain SDFT injury than females.

Similarly, although sex was not found to increase the risk of metacarpal or metatarsal joint fractures in some studies, in others, male horses were more likely to sustain a fracture.

Further multivariable analyses will enable

quantification of the associations between the stratification variables reported here and specific outcomes, when adjusted for the effects of potential confounders.

Over the 14-year study period the incidence of some conditions, particularly gait observations and respiratory conditions seemingly increased from 2004 onwards, while the incidence of fatalities, joint and tendon and ligament injuries remained relatively stable.

In 2004, the BHA’s injury database moved to entirely electronic recording of events, which became rigorously enforced. Increased reporting is a likely explanation for the apparent rise in less severe veterinary events over the study period, whereas it is likely that more severe veterinary events would have been reported regardless of the method of recording. The incidence of bone injuries, which fluctuated between 2000 and 2006, has increased from 2007.

equine vet This apparent increase requires further investigation, given the severity of this type of veterinary event and associated fatality rate.

The categorisation of veterinary events was based on race day reports and the pro-forma recording systems developed by the BHA and, given the limited diagnostic facilities on British racecourses, it is likely that some reported injuries or conditions were misclassified.

M

any of the veterinary events described were based on the signs identified during a clinical examination (presumptive diagnosis) rather than on a definitive diagnosis. Further diagnostic techniques were used in some cases, although it was not always clear from the records why these occurred and some resulted in no abnormal findings being reported (e.g. in 97 veterinary events, horses categorised as having a respiratory condition, underwent endoscopic examination but no abnormalities were detected).

Also, horses could leave the racecourse before an injury was diagnosed, even when it was sustained during racing. Some events, such as tendon and ligament injuries, may have been under-reported, or misclassified based on the presenting signs at the time of the event.

Consequently, it is likely that incidence

The incidence of bone injuries was lower, but these were associated with the highest incidence of fatality, followed by cardiac conditions rates reported here, particularly for less severe events, are under-estimates of the true incidence. Bone injuries reported as fractures may also have been misclassified to some extent. Reardon et al. reported that race day veterinarians correctly identified that a horse had a fracture on >90 per cent of occasions.

However, the correct recording of at least one of the fractured bones occurred on between 65 per cent and 90 per cent of occasions, based on subsequent post-mortem examination.

Additionally, between five per cent and six per cent of injuries reported as fractures were not fractures but, most commonly, suspensory ligament rupture or sesamoidean ligament damage.

The authors reported that injuries in these misclassified cases were still severe enough to justify euthanasia. Given that the current study has utilised the same data

recording methods, albeit over a longer time period, similar misclassification errors would be expected. The routine availability of basic diagnostic facilities on British racecourses would reduce the potential form is classification of veterinary events and increase the accuracy of incidence rate estimates.

Furthermore, ability to access on-courses in the current study and so this may only partly explain diagnostic facilities to aid in the diagnosis of injury could improve the prognosis for non-catastrophic injuries, in particular fractures. However, there are issues associated with this including the practicality, costs and lack of infrastructure on-course.

This study has identified the most commonly occurring race day veterinary events for Flat racing thoroughbreds in Britain.

Soft tissue injuries other than tendon or ligament injuries were most commonly reported, followed by gait observations and respiratory conditions.

The incidence of bone injuries was lower, but these were associated with the highest incidence of fatality, followed by cardiac conditions.

The findings from this study will now inform further multivariable statistical analysis to determine modifiable risk factors for selected outcomes, in particular injuries.

The results also provide a baseline against which to measure the effect of potential interventions aimed at reducing injury and fatality in Flat racing in Britain.

Ideally, the next stage is to develop a reporting procedure from training yards so that anyalsis can be made of differing training routines and gallop surfaces

Galileo:

a super-sire of sires too?

So far, Galileo has had 15 sons sire nearly 200 stakes winners in more than 15 different countries

In the first of a two-part series, Alan Porter analyses the progress Galileo is making as a global sire of sires

O

n June 11, 2011, Teolane made all to take the Naas Fillies’ Sprint Stakes by two and a half lengths.

Teolane did not win again, and has produced only one minor winner from her first three foals, but she has a significance beyond her relative modest achievements.

Teolane is a daughter of Teofilo, and that victory marked the first stakes score for a stallion son of Galileo.

Remarkably, in the six years since, as best we can count, a total of 15 sons of Galileo have collectively sired nearly 200 stakes winners in more than 15 different countries.

Teofilo was from Galileo’s second crop, but among the 13 stakes winners in Galileo’s first northern-hemisphere crop were three other stallions who have sired stakes winners: Heliostatic, Red Rocks and Sixties Icon.

Heliostatic (ex Affianced by Erin’s Isle) recorded his most notable victory in the Meld Stakes (G3) at three. Retired to stud in Ireland, he wasn’t long behind Teofilo in getting a stakes winner when Crius, one of 25 foals from his first crop, took the 2011 Somerville Tattersalls Stakes (G3).

Heliostatic’s only northern-hemisphere

black-type winner is the French Listed scorer Ella Diva, but he also shuttled to Argentina, and from his first crop he sired a trio of graded stakes winners, headed by He Runs Away, a champion three-year-old and Horse of the Year for 2016.

He Runs Away is out of a mare by Relaunch’s son Honour And Glory, and another Argentina graded scorer for Heliostatic, Tivoli Park, is out of a mare by Tiznow, a grandson of Relaunch.

Red Rocks (out of Pharmacist by Machiavellian) has an interesting pedigree: his dam was out of the Group 1-winning Pharaoh’s Delight, a daughter of Fairy King, himself a brother to Galileo’s sire, Sadler’s Wells.

Thus, Red Rocks was by a stallion bred on a Sadler’s Wells/Mr. Prospector cross, out of a mare bred on a Mr. Prospector/Fairy King cross.

At three, Red Rocks won the Listed Fairway Stakes in England, and was several times Group placed, including when second in the Grand Prix de Paris (G1), and third in the St. Leger (G1) to Sixties Icon.

He topped those efforts when an 8-1 winner of the Breeders’ Cup Turf (G1) at the end of the year.

Initally retired to stud in Italy, Red Rocks now stands at Calumet Farm, Kentucky, and has also shuttled to Chile. He has sired a pair of Italian stakes winners in Grey Greezly and Zinia Dei Grif (both out of Danehill line mares, so emulating the most prolific cross for Galileo), and also has a stakes winner in Chile.

Sixities Icon, who is out of the Oaks (G1) winner Love Divine (Diesis), raced for three seasons winning the St. Leger (G1), the Jockey Club Stakes (G2), the Cumberland Lodge Stakes (G3), the Glorious Stakes (G3), the Gordon Stakes (G3) and the Geoffrey Freer Stakes (G3).

While Galileo’s first crop didn’t really break out until they were three, his second crop was headlined by his first champion two-year-old in the shape of Teofilo winners headed by Chilworth Icon (dam by Acclamation), successful in the Premio Primi Passi (G3) and Listed Woodcote Stakes.

His other northern hemisphere stakes winners include Nancy From Nairobi (Hawk Wing), who took the Royal Heroine Stakes (G2) at Santa Anita, Epsom Icon (Bahamian Bounty), successful in the Listed Washington Singer Stakes and Princess Elizabeth Stakes

(G3), and Czabo (Danehill Dancer), winner of the Park Express Stakes (G3) and Listed Prix des Lilas.

Sixties Icon has also shuttled to Argentina where he has been represented by Sixties Song, winner of the 2016 Gran Premio Carlos Pellegrini (G1), effectively the championship of South America, and Crazy Icon (Orpen), successful in the Gran Premio Estrellas Classic (G1).

Sixties Song is out of a US-bred daughter of Unbridled, but the second dam is by Relaunch, who as we’ve seen also appears in the two South American graded scorers for Heliostatic.

A member of Galileo’s first Australian crop Discorsi (out of a mare by Breeders’ Cup Juvenile (G1) victor Success Express), won just twice in 20 starts, one of those tallies coming in the Listed VRC Gibson Carmichael Stakes at the metric equivalent of a mile.

stallion sons of galileo of a mare by Danehill son, Danetime), who took WATC West Australian Guineas (G2).

While Galileo’s first crop didn’t really break out until they were three, his second crop was headlined by his first champion two-year-old in the shape of Teofilo.

Out of Danehill’s daughter Speirbhean, and named for the great Cuban boxer Teofilo Stevenson, Teofilo went five-for-five at two, taking the Tyros Stakes (G3), Futurity Stakes (G2), National Stakes (G1) and Dewhurst Stakes (G1).

Favourite for the 2,000 Guineas (G1) and Derby (G1) through the winter and spring, Teofilo suffered a knee injury in April, and although he remained in training, he was never to race again, retiring to Darley’s Kildangan Stud, Kildare, Ireland.

As a sire, Teofilo has been a real success story with 60 stakes winners in his first seven European crops (including two-year-olds of 2017).

Nine of these are Group 1 winners, including Trading Leather (Sinndar), successful in the Irish Derby (G1), Pleascach (Thunder Gulch), winner of the Yorkshire

Oaks (G1) and Irish 1,000 Guineas (G1), Voleuse De Cours (Grand Lodge), who took the Irish St. Leger (G1), Dewhurst Stakes (G1) scorer Parish Hall, and the Criterium International (G1) winner Loch Garman.

Teofilo has also been very solid with his shuttle crops in Australia where he has had ten stakes winners in his first three crops, among them Grade 1 winners Palentino (Palace Music), Kermadec (Fuji Kiseki), Humidor (Zabeel) and Sonntag (Strategic).

It’s interesting that Teofilo is out of a Danehill mare, so representing what’s far and away the most proflic cross for Galileo.

S

tallions out of Danehill mares have generally not done well when bred to mares by sons and grandsons of Danehill, with just nine stakes winners from 404 starters (a little better than 2.2 per cent), although Teofilo has managed to sire a stakes winner out of a Danehill mare, a stakes winner out of a mare by a son of Danehill, and a South African graded stakes winner

out of mare by a grandson of Danehill, but he still only has three stakes winners from 50 starters out of Danehill line mares.

Other branches of Danzig have done well under Teofilo, supplying 11 of his stakes winners, including from Chief’s Crown/ Grand Lodge and Green Desert branches. The dam of his Group 1 winner Parish Hall is by Montjeu and so had a 3x3 cross of Sadler’s Wells.

Teofilo is also the first Galileo son to make his mark as a sire of sires.

His Prix Jean Prat (G1) scorer Havana Gold (Desert Style) got off to a good start as a firstcrop sire in 2017 with 17 winners, including Group winners Havana Grey (out of a Dark Angel mare, and in-bred to Green Desert), and Treasuring (Excellent Art) and two stakes placed horses.

Teofilo also has Palentino and Kermadec at stud in Australia.

Another in the same crop as Teofilo was Heliostatic’s brother Soldier Of Fortune, successful in the Irish Derby (G1), Coronation Cup (G1), Prix Noailles (G2), Prix Niel (G2) and Chester Vase (G3).

Leading first-crop sire Havana Gold maintains Teofilo’s records of “firsts” for sire Galileo being his first son to make a mark as a sire of sires

stallion sons of galileo He stands in France and has also got three shuttle crops at the track in Chile. He has had five stakes winners in Europe, including two Swedish starts in Amie Noire and Bokan. He’s made a serious impact in Chile, where all four of his stakes winners are Grade 1 scorers.

That crop also featured Yazamaan (out of Moon’s Whisper, by Storm Cat, from champion East Of The Moon), winner of a maiden and a novice race in England in 11 starts. He stands in Peru and has seven stakes winners from 56 starters in his first crop, including Grade 1 winners Hanomaan (another South American Galileo-line stakes winner out of an Honour And Glory mare, and carrying the Relaunch influence) and Espiritualmente (out of a mare by the Mr. Prospector line mare, Keseff).

Galileo’s third crop featured another juvenile champion New Approach (out of Park Express by Ahonoora).

Like Teofilo, he was unbeaten at two going five for five with wins in the Tyros Stakes (G3), Futurity Stakes (G2), National Stakes (G1) and Dewhurst Stakes (G1).

Unlike Teofilo, New Approach was able to undertake a three-year-old Classic campaign.

He was beaten a nose by Henrythenavigator in the 2,000 Guineas (G1), and a length and three-quarters by the same horse in the Irish 2,000 Guineas (G1), but then captured the Epsom Derby (G1).

Third to the older Duke Of Marmalade and Phoenix Tower in the International Stakes (G1), New Approach ended his career with victories in the Irish Champion Stakes (G1) and Champion Stakes (G1), the second of which he took by 6l.

Retired to Dalham Hall Stud, New Approach made a remarkable start to his stud career becoming the first horse to sire three Royal Ascot juvenile stakes winners in the same year and finishing second in Epsom Derby (G2).

The 2011-born Potemkin (Big Shuffle) and Elliptique (Kendor) were both Group 1 winners taking the Premio Roma in Italy and the Grosser Dallmayr-Preis - Bayerisches Zuchtrennen in Germany, but the pace has slackened for New Approach with only six stakes winners through the next three crops.

New Approach’s current two-year-old crop, which includes the promising duo of Masar (Cape Cross) and Hey Gaman (Dubawi), is the first conceived after his freshman sire season, so an upward surge is now likely.

Like Teofilo, New Approach has also shuttled to Australia, but has not been quite as prolific as his paternal half-brother.

etired to Dalham Hall Stud, New Approach made a remarkable start to his stud career becoming the first horse to sire three Royal Ascot juvenile stakes winners in the same year, courtesy of Dawn Approach (Phone Trick), who took the Coventry Stakes (G2), the illfated Albany Stakes (G3) scorer Newfangled (Machiavellian), and Tha’Ir (Green Desert), who was successful in the Listed Chesham Stakes.

That exceptional crop continued its upward trajectory at three with Dawn Approach adding the 2,000 Guineas (G1) and St. James’s Palace Stakes (G1), Talent (Peintre Celebre) taking the Epsom Oaks (G1), Sultanina (Zafonic) annexing the Nassau Stakes (G1), and Libertarian (Darshaan) winning the Dante Stakes (G2),

stallion sons of galileo He’s sired seven stakes winners from his first four crops, the best being May’s Dream (Archway), who took the SACJ Schweppes Oaks (G1).

Interestingly enough, as a Galileo son free of Danehill, New Approach doesn’t seem to have an affinity for that strain, with just one stakes winner Nearly Caught successful at Group 2 level in France from 28 starters out of Danehill mares, and three, two graded and both in the southern hemisphere, from 50 starters out of mares by sons of Danehill.

In the same crop as New Approach, came Cima De Triomphe (out of Sopran Londa by Danehill), who won the Italian Derby (G1) and Brigadier Gerard Stakes (G3).

Cima De Triomphe hasn’t made much impact at stud in Europe, but is another Galileo who has done well in South America.

His first two shuttle crops, conceived in Argentina, have produced five stakes winners four graded, including the Grade 1 winner Besitos (Dixie Union).

From Galileo’s 2006 crop came Rip Van Winkle, who is out of Stravinsky’s daughter, Looking Back.

He was the top-rated miler in Europe at three and four, winning the Juddmonte International (G1), Sussex Stakes (G1), Queen Elizabeth II Stakes (G1) and Tyros Stakes (G3).

Rip Van Winkle has 13 stakes winners from his first four European crops... including the Group 1-winning Dick Whittington Standing at Coolmore and shuttling to New Zealand, Rip Van Winkle has 13 stakes winners from his first four European crops, nine in his first crop, including the Group 1-winning Dick Whittington (Danehill), and four other Group winners.

His first New Zealand crop, now five, has produced five stakes winners, all graded.

The year after Rip Van Winkle came Cape Blanco (ex Laurel Delight by Presidium) winner of the Irish Derby (G1) and Irish Champion Stakes (G1), and in the US, where he was champion Turf horse, the Arlington Million (G1), Man O’ War Stakes (G1) and Joe Hirsch Turf Classic Stakes (G1).

He began his stud career in the US where

he’s left just one stakes winner from his first three crops, and is now in Japan.

In 2008 came Frankel (ex Kind by Danehill) – who deserves a chapter all to himself, which he will get next month – Nathaniel and Roderic O’Connor (ex Secret Garden by Danehill).

Nathaniel (out of Magnificent Style by Silver Hawk) was the top-rated European runner in his category at both three and four.

His credits include wins the King George VI & Queen Elizabeth Stakes (G1), Eclipse Stakes (G1) and King Edward VII Stakes (G2).

He has kicked off his stud career with a true superstar in the shape of Enable, winner on her last five starts – the Epsom Oaks (G1), Irish Oaks (G1), King George VI & Queen Elizabeth Stakes (G1), Yorkshire Oaks (G1) and Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe (G1). Her earnings are now over £3,800,000 and she stays in training for 2018.

Enable has an unusual pedigree as her dam is by Sadler’s Wells meaning that she is inbred 3x2 to that horse.

Nathaniel also has three other stakes winners in his first crop, including God Given (Dubai Destination), successful in the Prix de Minerve (G3).

The John Gosden-trained pair of Face The Facts and Glencadem Glory boast a Listed

Behind the 15 stakes-siring sons of Galileo we have recounted, there are a slew of highlevel reinforcements waiting in the wings.

Those with first two-year-olds next year include Australia, Noble Mission, Magician and Ruler Of The World. Gleneagles will have his first yearlings in 2018 and The Gurkha will be represented by his first weanlings.

Enjoy Vijay, out of a Medicean mare, is yet to win a stakes race, but was second in the Deutsches Derby (G1).

Falcon Wings, trained in France, boasts a Group 2 runner-up spot, while Melodic Motion finished second in the Park Hill Stakes (G2), and Kastano, out of Sternkoenig mare, has been thrice-placed in Group races in Germany.

He has sired four stakes winners, all from his first crop, including Biz Heart (out of a mare the Sadler’s Wells line horse, Tobougg), successful in the Gran Criterium (G3), and the Prix du Calvados (G3) scorer Great Page (out of a mare by another Sadler’s Wells horse Refuse To Bend).

From his only crop sired in Brazil, he has produced seven stakes winners, including Grade 1 winners Emperor Roderic (out of a mare by the Sea-Bird III grandson, Our Captain Willie), El Shaklan (out of a mare by the Mr. Prospector horse, Dodge) and Voador Magee (out of a mare by Trempolino).

The other notable Galileo son with runners is Intello (out of Impressionnante by Danehill). Winner of maiden and conditions

events at two, Intello kicked off at three with a win in the Feilden Stakes on a visit to England. Only beaten a half-length from a nearly impossible 17 draw when third in the Poule d’Essai des Poulians (G1), Intello then won the Prix du Jockey-Club (G1).

He added the Prix Messidor (G3) and Prix du Prince d’Orange (G3), and then underlined his versatility with good thirds in the Prix Jacques Le Marois (G1) and Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe (G1).

Intello stood two seasons at Cheveley Park Stud, and then the next two at Haras du Quesnay and returns to Cheveley Park for 2018.

Intello has six first crop two-year-old winners to date, including French Listed scorer Sonjeu (out of a mare by Montjeu, and so a Sadler’s Wells/Sadler’s Wells cross), the Italian stakes-placed runner Intello Kiss

around the globe.

As the son of Galileo retires to Elwick Stud

www.internationalthoroughbred.net

to take up stallion duties, there is a new kid on the block emerging from his shadow.

Suedois has been a revelation for O’Meara since stepping up to a mile this autumn and, although performing respectably in major sprint races throughout his career, he finally earned Group 1 winner status in the Shadwell Turf Mile Stakes in early October.

This son of Le Havre was bred by Sylvain Vidal and his ex-wife Elisabeth.

Like his French Derby-winning sire, Suedois intially ran in the white colours and purple cap of owner Gerard AugustinNormand.

“The story of how Suedois got his name is quite a special one to me,” explains Vidal,

focus suedois who manages the stud career of the popular French stallion. “I worked a lot with a Swedish owner called Mr Troedsson, who was responsible for Pia Brandt moving to France to train.

“As he got older he decided to sell some of his mares as there was no one in his family to take over his breeding operation. I made a deal with him for five mares to cover some of his expenses, among them were the dams of dual French Classic winner Avenir Certain, Group 3-placed Avantage and Suedois.

“I named the horse in Mr Troedsson’s honour as it means Swedish in French.

“Unfortunately, I sold his dam Cup Cake, who is by Singspiel, in-foal to our stallion Air Chief Marshall the following year.

“Suedois seems to be getting better with age and he is always in the money.

He is one of the ambassadors for Le Havre and is an excellent advertisement for both the stallion and the stud

Suedois (red) goes clear to win the Clipper Logistics-sponsored Group 2 Boomerang Stakes at Leopardstown on Champions Weekend in September before following up for a first Group 1 victory in the Shadwell Turf Mile at Keeneland in October

“She went to Libya originally, but I think she is in Ireland now. I offered her to my clients before I entered her in the sale, but she was too small a mare for them.

“Suedois was a good performer for us when trained by Christian Baillet, winning six times including in Group 3 and Listed company.

“We were delighted when he won the Group 3 Prix de Meautry at Deauville; for us it was job done and we were pleased when he made €165,000 at the Arqana Arc Sale.

“Now we are even more delighted by his continued success, it is a great story for us.

“Suedois seems to be getting better with age and he is always in the money. He is one of the ambassadors for Le Havre and is an excellent advertisement for both the stallion and the stud.

“His success, along with the sale of La Cressoniere and Avenir Certain to Japan, has proven Le Havre is a truly international stallion who can produce males and females who win at every age and over every distance.”

Suedois had his first start for O’Meara in the Group 1 Prix de la Foret just the day after he went through the ring at the Arqana Arc Sale 2015.

“I obviously didn’t know him at all when he ran that day, but he had very bad feet when he arrived in my yard afterwards, they were very long and flat,” remembers O’Meara.

“Our farrier did a great job reshaping his feet over the winter and we also gelded him during the break. Early the following year he finished second in the Clipper Logistics Duke of York Stakes, a race sponsored by one of his owners Steve Parkin.

“That kicked off a season in which he contested all of the top sprints. We almost didn’t run him in the July Cup as the ground was so fast, but after much deliberating we decided to leave him in and he ran a great race to finish second to Limato.

“It is amazing to think that he ran in a Group 1 every month for five months on every type of ground that year and his worst performance was a fifth place in the Diamond Jubilee Stakes at Royal Ascot.

“We took him to Santa Anita for the Breeders’ Cup Turf Sprint, but he fractured his foot before the race and we had to pull him out and give him a break for the winter.

“I rushed him a little to run in his owner’s sponsored race again the following year at York, that was his only bad performance and it is probably my fault.

“I had been saying to the owners for about a year that I wanted to try him over a mile.

focus suedois “Although he always ran well in sprint races he is not a big powerful horse and looks more like your typical miler.

“I finally got my wish and stepped him up to a mile in the Group 2 Boomerang Stakes at Leopardstown, another race sponsored by Clipper Logistics. The plan was if he won that he would go for either the Shadwell Mile or the Prix de la Forêt, but the race in Keeneland was worth three times the money, so it was our obvious choice!

“Now he has won that he has a freebie to run in the Breeders’ Cup Mile, so that is our next target. There is no difference in training him for mile races instead of sprints; he is a very switched off horse and easy to deal with.

“He is like a good athlete. It takes a lot to take on the best sprinters in a July Cup and then step up to a mile and still be competitive, in that way he is quite similar to Limato.

“The plan is to go pot hunting with him in the future. If he stays fit and well he will have another couple of years in him at that level.

He already has earnings of over a million pounds, which is some going for a gelding who is not a Ribchester or a Postponed. I wish I owned him myself!”

Although O’Meara may be wishing he owned Suedois, his actual owners are savouring every minute of their journey with the gelding.

“He is an absolute dream of a horse,” smiles Steve Parkin. “I have a lot of horses in training, but only a couple in partnership with George Turner. His first-ever horse was Rex Imperator, who won the Stewards’ Cup, and Suedois is only his second horse.

“I’m worried he will think it is always that easy and expect every horse he owns to be this good now!

“I am delighted for him as much as for myself. Suedois has already taken us all over the world and he seems to be coming into his own since stepping up to a mile.

“David was keen for us to do that for some time and Danny Tudhope always wanted to drop him in in his races. In a race Suedois likes to go past horses, which he can now do over a mile compared to when he was running in Group 1 sprints.

“We targeted Leopardstown on Irish Champions Weekend as my company Clipper Logistics sponsor the Boomerang Stakes. It was a huge thrill to win our own sponsored race, especially as I had a lot of customers with me, so the party afterwards was memorable! I love racing, so it was a very special moment for me.

“Someone from HRI [Horse Racing Ireland] told me afterwards that our

“It was a huge thrill to win our own sponsored race especially as I had a lot of customers with me, so the party afterwards was memorable!

Trainer David O’Meara is looking forward to continuing Suedois’s international campaign through 2018 and is keen to do a little bit of “pot-hunting”

celebrations were a better advertisement for the sport than money could ever buy!

“If Suedois was a colt he would be retired to stud, but as he is a gelding he has nothing to do but run. He already has earned over £1 million, I wish they would all do that!

“After a possible run in Breeders’ Cup Mile, he could then go for the Dubai Carnival over the winter before contesting the major mile races in the UK next year and obviously heading back to Leopardstown to defend his crown!”

He may have big shoes to fill in David O’Meara’s yard, but Suedois is providing his connections with good reason to dream of future international successes for this handsome gelding.

One thing is for sure, it will be one hell of a party if he wins!

G

LOAM, the daughter of the dual Grade 1 winner and champion Dank, and featured in our October issue as one of the “Racing Queen’s” became the highest-price yearling sold anywhere in the world this year and the second highest-priced yearling filly ever sold at public auction when fetching 4,000,000gns on the final day of Book 1 of the Tattersalls October Yearling Sale.

She was bought by John Gosden, bidding for Godolphin, successful after an auction battle with Coolmore.

She was sold by Norris Bloodstock for James Wigan’s West Blagdon Stud, the breeder, a usual seller of foals, happy to turn the responsibility of selling his prize yearling over to the specialist consignor.

In total, over the three-day sale five lots realised over two million guineas or more, while 17 lots sold for seven-figure sums, more than double 2016’s total.

The sale strength continued all the way through the differing levels to the Saturday of Book 3, and although it was tough to sell a horse without the prequisites for commercial success (that’s not to say they won’t make racehorses), the yearlings described by the buyers – in-the-less than original statement – as “ticking all the boxes” found plenty of demand and strong trade.

The turnover over the two-week sale of 158,151,450gns was an increase of up 19 per cent on last year’s record, whilst the average of 110,210gns was a rise of eight per cent compared with 2016.

We will be reviewing the yearling sale season in our December edition.
