EDWARD ROSENTHAL

Thank Frank for giving UK racing a better profile

T

hink back, if you can, to the beginning of this year.

Nic Coward is at the helm of the British Horseracing Authority. Betfair is a UK-based company. Jockeys use the whip without needing a degree in maths. And a three-year-old colt called Frankel is unbeaten.

Fast forward to the present and only one of those sentences remains correct. No prizes for guessing which one, either.

Frankel may not be the saviour of this sport – the financial mess that our ‘leaders in racing’ have presided over is something that 100 Frankels could not remedy – but he has certainly been the shining light in 2011.

The inaugural Champions’ Day provided Khalid Abdullah’s star with the ideal stage to showcase his talents to a wider audience and the son of Galileo did not disappoint, delighting a crowd of almost 27,000 with a performance that oozed star quality.

Hype surrounding Frankel has, inevitably, increased with every successful racecourse appearance.

His connections, particularly trainer Sir Henry Cecil and jockey Tom Queally, must have felt enormous pressure during the course of the year and they deserve huge credit for the way they have handled his career.

If David Pipe feels the pressure of following in the footsteps of the most successful British jumps trainer of all time, then it doesn’t show.

Having replaced father Martin as the master of Pond House in 2006, Pipe has enjoyed plenty of big-race success in his short career, but he has also had to contend with the effects of the recession, including losing owners and horses, and ever-shrinking race purses, the result of a declining levy.

It’s a situation that has forced him to adopt a different attitude to his profession.

“In this climate you have to do what is best for the owner, and if that means finishing second at Ascot rather

THOROUGHBRED OWNER & BREEDER INC PACEMAKER

than going to win at a smaller track, so be it,” he says (pages 54-58).

“Of course I want more winners – that’s what this game is all about – but the focus is on getting the best out of the horses you have.

“Owners don’t expect to make money from their racehorses, but they’d like to get something back. Now, unless you have a ‘Saturday’ horse, you’re not really getting much back, if anything.”

Pipe’s point here is pivotal. Racehorse ownership has never been seen as a way of improving the bank balance – to suggest otherwise is plainly foolish.

However, if the price of participation becomes too great – and this can be measured by the cost of keep and training against the likely minimum return – then the fact is that people will stop becoming owners.

Put it this way; you wouldn’t go to the cinema to get value for money. It’s a leisure pursuit, one that provides entertainment. But if the cinemas started charging £50 for a ticket, you’d soon stop going. It’s as simple as that.

This month’s press deadline precludes me from commenting on the review being undertaken by the British Horseracing Authority following the introduction of new rules regarding use of the whip.

Since the October issue went to press, we’ve seen a huge backlash against the regulations that limit the amount of times Flat and jump jockeys can hit their mounts, with particular venom directed towards the final furlong/after the last fence rule.

Why the BHA decided to make the change towards the end of the Flat season, so close to British Champions’ Day, and without a trial period is anyone’s guess. The lack of a permanent Chief Executive to direct day-to-day operations may be one explanation.

It can only be hoped that by the time you read this, common sense will have prevailed and the rules will have been amended to the satisfaction of all the parties involved.

“Sir Henry Cecil

and Tom Queally deserve huge credit for dealing with such pressure

ROA LEADER

RACHEL HOOD President Racehorse Owners Association

Best of British in one remarkable showpiece Champions’ Day fulfils ambition of giving Flat season the finale it deserves

B

eautiful autumn weather, a truly great horse and five superb Group races run in front of a large and enthusiastic Ascot crowd combined to make the first QIPCO British Champions’ Day a huge success.

Yes, the day of unbroken warm sunshine was as lucky as finding a 100-1 winner, but British racing should be proud to have put on this remarkable showpiece that not even a disgracefully ill-timed introduction of new whip rules could destroy.

It will surprise no-one that there were many trials and tribulations that began from the moment the event was conceived. Not only did the shifting of races of this magnitude to slot into different fixtures at different racecourses at different places in the calendar cause a break with tradition of almost sacrilegious proportions. Not only was there a concern about stepping on the toes of our French and Irish counterparts who were quick to assert their respective rights within the European Pattern.

There was also the vitally important matter of where the money would come from to fund this £3 million programme and the lingering, and entirely justified, concern that the Ascot festival was just too late in the year for a true championship event.

Although the last point will continue to be raised, the inaugural British Champions’ Day as the culmination of the British Champions’ Series has come as close as it is possible to fill an enormous void in our racing year. It has shown that, while horseracing may never quite be able to fit a Formula 1-type format, it can follow a logical narrative that builds to a tremendous end-ofseason climax.

The importance of this must be recognised as a key element in the modernising of our sport. Without accepting change, horseracing’s connection with the general public will continue to become increasingly tenuous. Without developing this most cherished pursuit of ours along lines to which ordinary people can

relate, then racing will simply lose its identity and appeal as a national sport.

The success of the British Champions’ Series should mark the dawning of a new era in British racing. We must recognise that racing will only increase its following if it is structured in such a way that emphasises the great performers and performances, both equine and human. In one respect racing is no different from any other sporting activity. It lives or dies on how well it projects the best it has to offer. Great horses and jockeys drive the sport’s marketing engine as they draw the public’s attention and fire its imagination.

Yet in these days of diminishing funds, there is the constant temptation to simply spread the decreasing pot of money over the same number of fixtures, to keep all racecourses in business come what may and to cling to an infrastructure that is simply not economically sustainable. The ‘top down’ approach may not seem fair – after all, all horses are expensive to maintain whether they are Classic winners or claimers – but it is the only system that will keep British racing high in the public consciousness.

Pitting the best against the best, while continuing to attract the patronage of wealthy international owners, is the only recipe that will allow us to maintain the quality and reputation of our great racing festivals that provide the punctuation marks through British racing’s rich narrative.

As with any other sport, racing cannot be anything other than elitist if it is to hold the public’s interest.

Competition that pushes the best to the top of the pile is part of its DNA. The stronger that competition, the stronger the sport will be and, paradoxically, the better off those will be who operate throughout the many layers that exist in racing’s pyramid.

These are the lessons that flow from that brilliant day at Ascot. They are lessons that we must absorb and build upon.

“Racing can now

KIRSTEN RAUSING Chairman Thoroughbred Breeders’ Association

Positive sales results reflect global interest in our stock This is all the more reason for courses to retain quality race programmes

T

he results from Book 1 of Tattersalls’ October Sale provided the industry with a boost, and helped to generate a strong sale for Book 2. Some vendors benefited but the downside is that for many this outcome will continue to keep costs of production high and project a vision to the wider industry that all is well for breeders.

Fillies, other than those with the finest pedigrees, took the brunt of the drop in demand and the majority were to be found in Book 3. A simple analysis of this feature of the market tells the true story for commercial breeders, with nature dictating that half of their yearling stock is unlikely to cover the costs of production.

Despite encouraging sales results, it remains crucial that we protect and nurture this delicate growth. A well-funded quality race programme will help to retain the vital international interest in Britiush bloodstock, which is a significant factor in the success of this year’s sales.

The TBA and Horsemen’s Group have lobbied the Levy Board to direct £5 million of its allocation to prize-money to the Quality Support Fund, which provides financial incentives to racecourses to stage races that identify and reward quality horses. Despite the decline in levy funding overall, the TBA maintains that it is imperative that investment is maintained in quality racing in Britain to provide the right opportunities and rewards for owners, which will in time encompass the whole bloodstock market. We need look no further than at the success of the QIPCO British Champions’ Day, which illustrated the importance of providing the right career structure to retain, reward and incentivise the production of quality racehorses.

Through this column I wanted to share with members an extract from our letter to the Levy Board: “The TBA is increasingly concerned at the effect of the unprecedented reduction in the production of thoroughbreds on the quality and number of future broodmares and stallion prospects in Great Britain. This impacts on production for both Flat and NH racing, but

predominantly Flat where British breeders currently supply 52% of the racehorse requirement.

“Recent statistics from Weatherbys confirm that the British foal crop continues to fall, from a high of 5,920 in 2008 to 4,423 in 2011. Further declines are predicted as commercial breeders seek to remove unprofitable mares from their stock. These mares are not replaced.

“There is, therefore, no prospect of an increase in the size of the 2012 foal crop, despite the 2011 Tattersalls Book 1 Yearling Sales outperforming 2010 results. This bespoke sale offering just over 500 lots of the highest quality yearlings in the UK and Ireland attracts a world-wide following and relies heavily on the prestige associated with racing in Great Britain.

International investors, many of whom race in Britain because it provides sufficient high quality race opportunities and a programme of supporting races, form the traditional customer base. This situation will only continue if a well-funded QSF is made available in 2012. Any further delay in addressing the decline in the QSF will threaten the attraction of quality racing in Britain, particularly as prizemoney continues to fall.

“The only positive area is Britain’s export market for horses in training with form, which is currently very strong. These horses can earn superior prize-money overseas. This is not a new phenomenon and British owners and trainers rely on this valuable market. This market only exists because our juvenile races are extremely competitive, and are crafted from a race programme that identifies and rewards quality racehorses. The decline in the value of prize-money at the top of the sport has been less marked, but should the quality of horses competing in these races, or the opportunities available fall as the QSF reduces, then the export market will be threatened, and owners’ appetite to re-invest in yearlings will be lost.

“Downgrading of the race programme and removal of important races is a short-term measure which has disastrous implications for the future of the sport.”

“Despite encouraging

sales results, it remains crucial that we protect and nurture this delicate growth

ROA Chief Harris to retire Richard Wayman, Assistant Racing Director at the BHA, will take over later this year Michael Harris is to retire as Chief Executive of the Racehorse Owners Association at the end of the year, when he will be succeeded by the BHA’s Richard Wayman.

Harris, 62, began his career in racing more than 40 years ago and has been with the ROA since 1998. Wayman, 40, has worked for the BHA for eight years and is number two to Ruth Quinn in the racing department.

“I count myself extremely lucky to have spent most of my life working within an area that I still feel passionate about,” said Harris, a former editor and Chief Executive of the Racing Post.

“However, the only way I have been able to run this association successfully is to devote most of my waking hours to thinking about the job and I’m now beginning to feel I should make room for a few other activities in life.

“I’ve worked with many wonderful and talented people at the ROA over the years.

However, I have to save the greatest praise of all for the ROA staff, who have been the bedrock of the association for many years and have never complained about going the extra mile. Without their dedication, the ROA would not be the organisation it is today.”

“I’m extremely pleased Richard Wayman has agreed to become the ROA’s new Chief Executive. He is a racing professional to his fingertips and I honestly can’t think of anyone who would be better suited to the role.”

Wayman, a Cambridge graduate who begins his new job on January 1, qualified as a chartered accountant while working for PricewaterhouseCoopers before entering the racing world professionally as the finance director at the British Racing School.

He said: “I feel privileged to have been Racing For Change, there has also been unfounded criticism of our strategy, actions and even right to exist.

Concerning though some of these attacks must be to members of our constituent organisations – which include the ROA and the TBA – it is worth bearing in mind where the criticism has been originating.

In the early days, the Racecourse Association was vocal in its rejection of the idea that horsemen should devise a guide which tells them whether racecourses are paying appropriate prize-money. That rejection has never been about quantum – 90% of Flat races have met tariff without any racecourse suffering financial difficulties as a result – or about the theory of the scheme (anyone remember the RCA deriding BHA Minimum Values?)

Rather, in truth, it was about whether horsemen should be allowed to contribute in a serious way to the prize-money debate.

“The RCA has come

to accept our role and we are working closely with them to restructure racing” This was a straightforward defence of territory, and totally understandable as such. Happily, in recent months, the RCA

Giles Pritchard-Gordon dies at 64 British racing has lost one of its sharpest and most enthusiastic minds with the death of Slaugham Park Stud proprietor and former ROA council member Giles Pritchard-Gordon at the age of 64.

One of three brothers who grew up with a passion for racing, Giles went into business after leaving school while his brothers Gavin and Grant set out to make their careers in the sport.

All three proved successful in their chosen paths, Giles as a ship owner and broker through his company Giles W. Pritchard-Gordon & Co., Ltd. Over the years, Pritchard-Gordon’s cerise and white hooped silks were carried to victory by a succession of good horses, the majority of whom he bred. He was TBA Small Breeder of the Year in 2000.

Pritchard-Gordon’s first trainers were his father-in-law Ron Smyth in Epsom and his brother Gavin in Newmarket. He became a stakes-winning owner while still in his 20s thanks to Heaven Knows, whom Smyth sent out to win the Lingfield Oaks Trial in 1976 and the following year’s Earl Of Sefton Stakes.

His knowledge of the programme book and ability to hatch a plan were second to none, and best illustrated by his success with Prince Babar.

Gavin had trained Giles’s home-bred filly Bell Toll (a daughter of High Line and Heaven Knows) to win at Newmarket and Goodwood as a two-year-old in 1988. Although intending to race the colt himself, Pritchard-Gordon sent her first foal (Prince Babar, a son of Fairy King) to a yearling sale at Deauville in 1992 to qualify him for the Challenge D’Or Piaget, a hugely valuable restricted sales race due to be run at Deauville the following August. He bought the colt in for 90,000 francs (approximately

has come to accept our role and we are working closely with them on a restructuring of racing that formalises the roles of all three major participants: the BHA, RCA and HG. Some journalists, meanwhile, used to years of racecourse hospitality, are thrown into a state of confusion by the emergence of a non-racecourse body which has the status and base to be taken seriously. Major industry issues, declared one Racing Post columnist only recently, should be decided between bookmakers and racecourses, as the only two groups “with a commercial basis for their views”.

That was a statement that will have come as a surprise to training and breeding businesses that, with their stable staff and often global outlook, hardly have a less

“commercial basis” for their views than a racecourse. Indeed, many of our trainers employ far more staff than any racecourse; jockeys are freelance operators who are acutely aware of their own economic viability, whilst owners include, in our ranks, some of the sharpest business minds in the country.

So our message to those within our own ranks is simple: most of the criticisms you hear are from those who never respected your view, or your right to hold one, on the issues that affect your livelihood, your future and the future of the sport you are passionate about.

It is only because your voice is being heard at the highest level that those used to ignoring you are throwing mud at the Horsemen’s Group.

£9,000), brought him home and sent him to Gavin. Prince Babar duly won a maiden race at Newbury in May 1993 and followed up with placings behind Lemon Souffle, First Trump (in the July Stakes) and Mister Baileys (in the Vintage Stakes) before heading to France, where Giles’s long-term plan bore a rich harvest.

In recent years, his horses were trained by Mick and Tim Easterby, Richard Fahey, and by his nephew Rupert Pritchard-Gordon in France.

The latter sent out his final winner, the homebred Suzy Wong, at Saint-Cloud in September.

Grant Pritchard-Gordon said of his brother: “Giles owned probably the largest herd of Sussex cattle in the world, spread across Wyoming, Australia and Slaugham. He had a wonderful eye for horse, cow and sheep and was never happier than when he was drafting the cattle or sheep at one of his farms. It is as a family man, horse lover and genuine countryman that I will always remember him.”

We extend our sympathies to his widow Lou and their four daughters.

Tariff is a big hit We at the HG are unapologetically proud of the achievements of the tariff scheme introduced earlier this year. Thanks to the consistent support of many owners, trainers and jockeys, we have seen racecourses, for the first time in years, increase their own contribution to prize money, by over £6 million – a figure the RCA is also rightly proud of.

This, in turn, has helped offset the dramatic reduction in betting levy that the sport has suffered. Of course, some racecourses claim that they were going to up their own contributions anyway – with or without the tariffs – and, if so, we are delighted to hear it.

It’s just that none had actually announced they were going to do so a month or so >> ahead of the new Flat season!

Darley, Sheikh Mohammed’s bloodstock empire which stands stallions in Britain, Ireland, France, America, Australia and Japan, has announced plans to send two stallions to China in 2012.

Jalil, a seven-year-old Group 2-winning son of Storm Cat who cost $9.7 million as a yearling, will be based at Lisui Farm in Beijing, while Australian-bred six-year-old Sousa joins the roster at Ordos Farm in Inner Mongolia.

THE MAN YOU CAN’T IGNORE COMMENT

Tony Morris It was a pleasure to be at Ascot for British Champions’ Day, the event lit up by fabulous Frankel but tainted by Christophe Soumillon’s over-the-top punishment – a BHA own goal

S

o the first QIPCO British Champions’ Day is now history – and an occasion we shall remember for good and bad reasons.

First and foremost, let us acknowledge the money thrown at the event achieved its goal.

We had an afternoon of exceptional sport, with seven of the ten top-ranked horses in the world in action, among them the best miler I have ever seen – or likely to see – in this country. There was so much hype over Frankel that I was inclined to fear that it might be courting disaster, but once again he delivered in sensational style.

The day was also a qualified success for its promoters. The hoped-for 30,000 crowd did not materialise, which was disappointing, given the amount of publicity and the exceptionally fine weather for a mid-October afternoon, but a tally of 26,749 at least enabled a claim of justification for the switch from Newmarket, where last year’s not-quite-equivalent card attracted just under half that number.

Bookmakers on the course and up and down the country also reported a notable upsurge in business and as punters generally had the better of the exchanges, with well-backed contenders winning most of the races, they will not have been displeased with the outcome of an event in which the form held up well.

The Long Distance Cup – in former times the Jockey Club Cup, and now a race with no penalties and allowances – was clearly above the standard for a Group 3 contest, and with the first two in the Gold Cup, Fame And Glory and Opinion Poll, filling the same places again, the natural order of things prevailed.

The Group 2 Sprint, formerly the Diadem, had a warm favourite in Deacon Blues, who obliged with uncommon ease. It was perhaps a shame that the July Cup and Haydock Sprint Cup hero Dream Ahead was not among his rivals to provide a stronger test, but the gelding, a constant improver throughout the season after a disappointing campaign in 2010, must now rank close to the top of his division.

In the Fillies’ and Mares’ Stakes, known as the Pride Stakes in its previous incarnation, there was plenty of support for two fillies – Vita Nova

26

and Ferdoos – neither of whom had so much as a Group 3 win to commend her. Those with the appropriate respect for Classic form drew a bigger dividend than they might have expected with Dancing Rain, heroine of the Oaks, making all again and resolutely resisting all challenges.

Of course, the form book said there could be only one winner of the Queen Elizabeth II Stakes, though Excelebration had undoubtedly improved since his defeats by Frankel earlier in the year, and there was a new threat in Immortal Verse, not only an impressive winner of the Coronation Stakes but victrix over no less a

“The challenge now for Frankel is to improve on the 145 Timeform rating achieved by Sea-Bird” celebrity than Goldikova in the Prix Jacques le Marois at Deauville since then.

Run over the straight mile rather than the round course for the first time, all the other jockeys chose to ignore Frankel’s pacemaker, his three-parts-brother Bullet Train, when he opened up a long lead. The upshot was that the early pace among the real contenders was not strong and Frankel tugged at Tom Queally’s arms, running with his head to one side.

Frankel fright a brief one But if that caused a modicum of concern, it did not last long. The favourite soon settled, was into second place at halfway, closed on the leader from the three marker and over the next furlong, his fastest, he had all of his pursuers in trouble. As Bullet Train faded, Frankel surged to

the front, then took a couple of back-handers from his pilot just to keep his mind on the business in the final furlong, and it was all over.

Frankel is the closest approximation to perfection in a racehorse that anyone could imagine and he came back to a tumultuous reception from a throng which, to a man, recognised the privilege of seeing him in his regular imperious form. The reaction from Timeform was to raise his rating to 143, a mark not matched since Brigadier Gerard earned a 144 as a four-year-old 40 years ago. The Brigadier’s mark at three was ‘only’ 141 and Frankel has another year in which to enhance his reputation still further; the challenge now is to improve on the 145 achieved by Sea-Bird, the highest-rated horse in Timeform’s 60-plus years of assessing thoroughbred performance.

The headline act had done his stuff and all that was left was for the Champion Stakes, controversially switched from Newmarket’s straight mile and a quarter to Ascot’s round course, to complete a perfect day. The cast of stars – which included seven previous winners of 24 Group 1s – seemed entitled to provide the fabulous finale and, up to a point, it did.

We saw a truly run race, completed in a time far quicker than standard, and a thoroughly deserving winner in Cirrus Des Aigles, who was never far off the pace, came with a resolute challenge from the furlong marker and wore down the gallant So You Think near the finish.

Those admirable fillies Snow Fairy and Midday performed with distinction to finish close up in third and fourth, the latter just a short head in advance of the King George hero Nathaniel.

Viewers of the BBC’s coverage, which ended not much more than five minutes after Cirrus Des Aigles won, might have imagined they had seen a perfect day’s racing. The organisers of the meeting, so blessed by the weather, struck lucky again in that the terrestrial channel watchers – the largest proportion of the TV audience – were catching up with the day’s football results, blissfully unaware of the embarrassing aftermath to the Champion Stakes.

The new whip rules had been in force for THOROUGHBRED OWNER & BREEDER INC PACEMAKER

nov_87_Tony_Morris_June2010 20/10/2011 09:39 Page 27

Frankel was brilliant and received a tumultuous reception

only five days and had been the unwelcome focus of attention in the lead-up to the big day, the non-specialist media predictably revelling in the sensational news of Richard Hughes’s decision to quit after twice falling foul of the regulations, and of a threatened strike by fellow jockeys.

Soumillon suspension only made things worse This was not something British racing needed at any time, let alone at a time when it was seeking to gain fresh adherents and preparing to celebrate the keenly anticipated inaugural British Champions’ Day. How much worse that situation became when, after the Champion Stakes, the winner’s jockey, Christophe Soumillon, received a five-day ban and lost his share – over £52,000 – of the richest race ever run in Britain. All for applying his whip once more than the new rule permitted.

What had been something of a domestic brouhaha thus took on the complexion of an international incident.

Soumillon could not be blamed for his disgust over a punishment that patently did not fit his ‘crime’.

English racing had scored another embarrassing own goal and the French seemed well entitled to recall the Marquis de Ximenez’s allusion to ‘perfidious Albion’.

Of course, in an ideal world – and in a sport which in the 21st century is truly global, with jockeys regularly riding in a multiplicity of countries – the rules governing the use of the whip would be the same everywhere.

Regrettably that is not the case and probably never will be the case.

The new regulation in Britain, instituted simply to appease the dogooders who understand nothing of racing and of the effect of the whip, was ill-conceived, its folly accentuated by its introduction a few days before the staging of a high-profile international occasion.

It is to be hoped that by the time these words appear in print some common sense will have prevailed. But increasingly, in my perception, evidence of common sense is hard to find among those entrusted with the governance of our sport these days.

I am tempted to say: Come back The Jockey Club, all is forgiven. Yes, there were plenty of bumbling, pompous old farts among their number, but they did know the horse, they did understand racing and they provided leadership the like of which we no longer enjoy.

I don’t think they would have fouled their own nest quite as the BHA managed to do on British Champions’ Day 2011.

JAMES WILLOUGHBY COMMENT

The inaugural event was a resounding success for organisers, including BHA Chairman Paul Roy, though the sport needs to sell the language of numbers

Champions’ Day won me over

W

hen asked to explain their connection to the sport, most racing fans would use words such as ‘passion’ or ‘emotion’ or ‘excitement’.

While some of those things reside in me, they do not come close to explaining my feelings.

For whatever reason, I feel a visceral urge that the sport represents something in life which should be cherished and defended. I consider that the union of horse and rider in athletic competition can elevate both by the commitment to excellence. And I do not want this ever to be taken away from society.

This stance naturally has led me into conflict with some of those who I feel represent a threat to this ideal – including those who want to take away the use of the whip, remove the weight-for-age allowance or pervert the Pattern.

To understand the proper ethos of Flat racing, you must be able to grasp the importance of all three. We are seeking to identify the fastest, strongest and soundest thoroughbreds in order to advance the breed.

Nowadays, some think this is absurdly purist; I say it is fundamental.

“I thought BCD would be the nadir of my racing experience; in fact it was the zenith”

When the sport first announced the Racing For Change initiative, then latterly the British Champions’ Series, I was fearful of the consequences. There is nothing wrong with change, of course, but it depends on what the impetus for that change is predicated upon.

If it has commercial imperative, I can bring myself to accept that which economic reality dictates. But not if it means denaturing the sport, selling out its core values for the sake of appearances. So, I initially considered that British Champions’ Day at Ascot would be the nadir of my racing experience. It turned out to be almost the zenith.

It wasn’t perfect but it worked. And the show which accompanied it worked too. I take THOROUGHBRED OWNER & BREEDER INC PACEMAKER

Awesome Frankel ran a faster furlong than any achieved by sprinter Deacon Blues

my hat off to the Champions’ Series Chief Executive Rod Street and his colleagues. Every time I think the repercussions of his brand of modernity will offend my sense of propriety, I am surprised.

It helped that Champions’ Day saw the belated innovation of sectional times over television pictures. I hope you got something out of these. I tried my best to explain their utility and fascination during the Racing UK broadcast I shared with Nick Luck and Graham Cunningham.

When Frankel was asked to pick up at the three-furlong pole in the Queen Elizabeth II Stakes, he ran a faster furlong than any of those achieved by Deacon Blues in winning the British Champions Sprint. There are many other ways to appraise his performance which I won’t get into here because of space.

But the sectionals were not just a consolation. The rest of the event really seemed to have meaning, to resonate with the crowd at Ascot and the viewing audience on the two satellite channels and the BBC. The reception which Frankel received was awesome; the sight of humans exulting the efforts of a horse is exactly what I am referring to in the introduction.

I still think the organisers need to provide more context for the races – that ‘narrative’ word which is so much derided because it now has connotations of PR spin. Pleasingly, the winners of the series are determined by official

handicap marks, so why not display these on a board beforehand and explain to the people exactly what they mean and how they are determined?

I wrote about this last month. Handicapping now badly needs demystifying, if these figures are going to determine championships into which the public is supposed to invest attention. Many of those at Ascot would have no clue how many pounds make five lengths over a mile, or what indeed the weight-for-age allowance is.

If you really want to sell the sport, you have to sell the language of numbers which is inherent to it. Handicapping was important on the day that racing thoroughbreds was first considered a fruitful pastime. It is no less important now. It needs to be sold and its nuances explained, even to those who are dayto-day followers of the sport.

The only downside of Champions’ Day was the ban given to Christophe Soumillon under the misguided and shabbily constructed new whip rules after his victory on Cirrus Des Aigles in the Champion Stakes. But this was not a function of the event and should be considered a separate entity to it.

Champions’ Day was only a start and it is imperative that it can attract twice the attendance of 26,749 in the years ahead. But it was a great start and a resounding victory for those behind it – including the BHA and its Chairman Paul Roy.

THE FOUNDATION MARES

By JEREMY EARLY

FEOLA

ROUCH WILMOT LIBRARY

The royal matriarch passes the ultimate test of a superior foundation mare, with lines emanating from her continuing to produce top-class winners globally

Feola, foaled in 1933, by Friar Marcus out of Aloe, a sister to Gold Cup winner Foxlaw

I

f one of the tests of a superior foundation mare is the creation of lines resulting in top-quality winners across the globe, Feola fits the bill to perfection.

Foaled in 1933, she has nearly 70 Group 1 or Grade 1 winners in 11 countries tracing

to her, including such exceptional champions as Aureole, Deep Impact, Johannesburg, Nashwan, Pebbles and Round Table.

Feola’s first public appearance was at the Newmarket July Sales in 1934, when she

was bought on behalf of King George V, who had bred her sire Friar Marcus, for 3,000gns. The high price was explained by her dam Aloe being a sister to Gold Cup winner Foxlaw from the family of Derby winner Call Boy. Feola never ran for George V, who died in 1935; she carried the colours of Lord Derby as lessee into second place in the 1,000 Guineas and third place in the Oaks.

At stud she was productive and perfect for the foundation of a long line, with ten foals including eight fillies. George VI did well out of her since there were three Group 1 winners, Hypericum (1,000 Guineas), Angelola and Above Board (both Yorkshire Oaks).

These fillies have been the basis of the success of the Queen’s breeding empire throughout her reign. Angelola produced Aureole, a champion sire as well as a champion on the track, Above Board foaled two very smart colts in Doutelle and Above Suspicion, and Hypericum got Eclipse Stakes runner-up Restoration.

More importantly, in 1958 Hypericum foaled Highlight (by Borealis), a stakes-placed runner who not only provided her breeder with a cherished first homebred

Classic winner but left an enduring mark on the breed.

The Classic winner was Highclere (by Queen’s Hussar), successful in the 1974 1,000 Guineas and Prix de Diane, and runner-up in the King George VI & Queen Elizabeth Stakes.

Highlight also foaled Highclere’s sister Light Duty, second in the Yorkshire Oaks and dam of two Listed winners; Circlet and Christchurch, the latter dam of dual Listed winner Church Parade.

Highclere, though, was the star of the show at stud as well as on the racecourse, getting seven winners from 13 foals though only two of them were successful in stakes. Milford (by Mill Reef) landed three Pattern events headed by the Princess of Wales’s Stakes, a race also won by Height Of Fashion (by Bustino), who had been a champion at two in 1981 after winning the May Hill Stakes and Fillies’ Mile.

Height Of Fashion did not carry the Queen’s colours in the Princess of Wales’s Stakes, since she had been sold not long before to Hamdan Al Maktoum for a figure consistently reported in the media, and never denied, as around $2 million.

Her departure marked a sea change in the family’s fortunes in Europe and is just one instance of a mare or filly from the Feola family being sold out of the Royal Studs and going on to make a big mark. As confirmation of this, while no member of the family has carried the Queen’s colours to success in a Group 1 since Highclere, more than 50 have won such races for other owners.

Two of these were bred by the Queen. Right Approach, whose third dam is Highlight, was sold for 65,000gns before annexing the Dubai Duty Free. Kingdom Of Fife (now My Kingdom Of Fife), whose grandam is Ribblesdale Stakes runner-up Highbrow, a daughter of Highclere, fetched 60,000gns and is winner this year of the Queen Elizabeth Stakes in Australia.

Highbrow, in fact, did well for the Queen, with very smart middle-distance colt Blueprint the star, though the other Group 1 winner tracing to her, Ask, is out of a mare named Request passed on to the Duke of Devonshire.

Height Of Fashion, who died in 2000, was a truly brilliant broodmare, producing eight winners from 12 foals. Six of the eight won Pattern races and the other two were stakes-placed. >>

THE FOUNDATION MARES >>

Nashwan (by Blushing Groom) picked up the 2,000 Guineas, Derby, Eclipse Stakes and King George, and Nayef (by Gulch) won the Champion Stakes, Sheema Classic, Juddmonte International and Prince of Wales’s Stakes.

Unfuwain (by Northern Dancer), the toprated three-year-colt in Europe in 1988, was successful in the Princess of Wales’s Stakes and Jockey Club Stakes, while his brother Alwasmi landed the John Porter Stakes and Mukddaam (by Danzig) was twice runnerup in Group 2s.

Three of the four fillies out of Height Of Fashion were by Mr Prospector and all have continued the family tradition. Sarayir, twice a Listed winner, is dam of Ghanaati (1,000 Guineas, Coronation Stakes), Champion Stakes runner-up Mawatheeq, Oaks third Rumoush and Eshaadeh, dam of Maqaasid (Queen Mary Stakes).

Bashayer is grandam of Eclipse Award winner Lahudood and Wijdan is dam of Group 2 winner Oriental Fashion and Grade 2 winner Makderah. The other filly out of Height Of Fashion, Manwah (by Lyphard), is the dam of two stakes winners.

It is debatable whether the Queen would ever have mated Height Of Fashion with the

outstanding US-based sires the mare visited, but it is still odds-on that if retained she would have come up with no shortage of big winners for her breeder.

As implied above, Height Of Fashion is just one example among a number. Feola’s first three fillies were all sold at auction –

“Height Of Fashion’s departure marked a sea change in the family’s fortunes in Europe” Foretaste became grandam of top-notch French stayer Lassalle, Starling became dam of three Argentinean champions, including superb sire Sideral, and Knight’s Daughter, sold for 2,500gns as a ten-year-old in 1951, foaled one of the greatest runners in the history of the American turf in Round Table.

Horse of the Year in 1958, he won 43 of his 66 starts and was champion sire in 1972.

When sold, Knight’s Daughter was carrying Yarmouth, fourth dam of Grade 1

winner Bemissed, herself dam of Oaks winner Jet Ski Lady. This is the family of 2011 Santa Anita Derby winner Midnight Interlude. Knight’s Daughter also foaled Round Table’s sister Monarchy, who features in the bottom line of several major winners, notably Johannesburg and Minardi.

Continuing the sale record, Hypericum’s daughter Prescription was disposed of to Chile as an unraced three-year-old in 1952 and had a monumental impact, with more than 20 Group 1 winners tracing to her, plus Cocoa Beach, winner of two Grade 1s in the States for Godolphin in 2008.

Other mares culled included Above Board’s granddaughter Guiding Light for 8,600gns, Light Duty’s daughter Rise And Fall for 90,000gns, and Highclere’s daughter Burghclere for 460,000gns.

Guiding Light became grandam of Pebbles, Rise And Fall produced Fly To The Stars and Burghclere foaled Wind In Her Hair. The last-named is dam of brilliant Japanese colt Deep Impact and her 2011 foal, a three-parts brother to Deep Impact, fetched 250 million yen (£2.07m) at the JHRA sale.

Gambling legislation frustration Racing industry is forced to wait for details of how offshore betting will be taxed

GEORGE SELWYN

I

t was not the news that the industry wanted, but the wheels of government move slowly. After months of talking about the introduction of new taxes on betting, bringing online and offshore betting into the tax net and more, the minister responsible for the legislation has finally spoken – only to put the whole process on the long finger again.

With a crucial budget due before the Dail (the Irish house of parliament) in December, the racing industry was hoping for some indication of a new taxation policy and a funding mechanism for the sector. Instead, the industry will have to go cap in hand and seek a further handout for 2012. This is a most unsatisfactory situation and comes at a time when the national finances are far from robust.

The Minister for Justice, Alan Shatter, is charged with bringing forward the legislation which will not see the light of day before next spring at the earliest. Only then will the details of how offshore betting will be taxed be made clear. There was also no specific mention of the ring-fencing of taxation income for racing.

However, the minister has been very clear on a number of issues. One of these is his absolute opposition to large scale casino developments, such as the one planned for Tipperary. Details of this proposed venue were announced some time ago and were to

Aidan O’Brien: supports development

include a new racecourse. This development had received the support of champion trainer Aidan O’Brien and was to be a multi-purpose site with many other sporting facilities.

The plan there was for up to 2,000 tables in the casino, but Shatter indicated that a maximum of some 40 tables would be the most he would contemplate legislating for in any casino. The promoters of The Tipperary Venue have been coy about their plans in light of this decision, although they have indicated that they were about to lodge a planning application for “an international world-class equestrian centre”.

In the aftermath of the minister’s

intentions being made public, the backers of Tipperary Venue said: “We note the preference to license ‘modest’ type casinos.

In the context of The Tipperary Venue it is our intention to engage with the department to determine the definition and extent of ‘modest’ casinos. We will make constructive submissions and arguments to ensure that the terms of the licence granted will, when incorporated into the development, be viable.”

Public opposition to the Tipperary development has focused on the casino aspect, while the employment benefits of the construction and running of the centre would be a significant economic boost to the area.

Shatter also ruled out the possibility of the introduction of fixed odds betting terminals (FOBTs) in betting shops. The Irish Bookmakers Association had hoped that FOBTs would prove as lucrative in Irish betting shops as they have been in Britain.

They have instead called for a level playing field with exchanges. Their spokesperson said: “We need to offer our customers new and modern betting opportunities, opportunities that are available on other betting platforms seven days a week, 24 hours a day”.

The IBA also called for betting shops to be allowed to stay open after 6.30pm all year round.

Croom in County Limerick may not be known as a hotbed of the international breeding world in the same way that Newmarket or Lexington are. However, in one glorious month three breeders all living little more than a hedgerow apart all bred Group 1 winners.

Denis Brosnan, the outgoing chairman of Horse Racing Ireland, operates Croom House Stud and his most recent Group 1 star is the leading two-year-old filly Maybe, undefeated in five starts and heroine of the Moyglare Stud Stakes. The daughter of Galileo will be Ballydoyle’s standard-bearer for the fillies’ Classics next year.

Bloodstock agent Frank Barry, who has

sourced many top-class runners over many years, owns and runs Manister House Stud with his son Luke and they bred the Strategic Prince two-year-old La Collina, who upset Power when she was a surprise winner of the Phoenix Stakes before running third to Maybe in the Moyglare.

The treble was brought up when the Nick Hartery-bred Margot Did beat 14 rivals to emerge victorious in the Nunthorpe Stakes. Her career has been in the care of Michael Bell and the daughter of Exceed And Excel has proven a bargain, having been sold at the breeze-up sale in Newmarket for just 10,000gns.

VIEW FROM IRELAND

One of the most noteworthy achievements of the current racing year has been the success of horses bred by John Tuthill. The owner of Owenstown Stud in Maynooth has celebrated the successes of three Group winners in recent months, namely Excelebration, Dragon Pulse and Chandlery.

The exploits of Excelebration have been noteworthy and he gained a deserved Group 1 success in September when capturing the Prix du Moulin de Longchamp. Prior to that win his talent was evident, so much so that Coolmore stepped in to acquire an interest in the colt. Their belief in the son of Exceed And Excel was such that they also extended their buying spree to acquire the colt’s dam.

That was a most interesting acquisition as the mare was sourced from her new home in India. Following the birth of Excelebration, his dam was put in foal to Strategic Prince and sold at the Goffs November Sale for a mere €10,000. Hugo Merry, so prolific a purchaser of mares for India, signed for her and she found herself on the long trip abroad.

She has recently made the return journey – an unusual enough occurrence from that continent – and it will be interesting what mating plans for 2012 will be made.

Owenstown Stud was founded by John Tuthill’s grandfather Frank in the mid 1930s and has a history of breeding several top class winners, including many Classic scorers.

The list is nearly endless and includes Musidora, Indiana, Humble Duty, Cavan, Negligent and more. Excelebration is a proud addition to the roll of honour.

GEORGE SELWYN

Tuthill’s year surely an award-winning one

Vintage Stakes winner Chandlery, bred by Owenstown Stud owner John Tuthill

The Group 2 Futurity Stakes winner Dragon Pulse was runner-up to Power in the Group 1 National Stakes on his last start and he is a horse in many people’s notebooks for 2012 as a potential Classic horse. Tuthill bred the son of Kyllachy in partnership with his late aunt Averil Whitehead from the Group-placed mare Poetical. Owenstown Stud offered an Elnadim half-sister to Dragon Pulse at Newmarket last month (lot 974 in Book 2) but she went unsold.

The third Group winner bred by Tuthill

was the Choisir juvenile colt Chandlery, winner of the Group 2 Vintage Stakes for owner Julie Wood and trainer Richard Hannon. This £88,000 yearling purchase has not run since his big-race success but hopefully he too will scale the heights in his second season.

Owenstown Stud is set on over 300 acres and Tuthill breeds from a small group of mares. His record in 2012 must surely garner him and his farm some breeding awards at the season’s end.

Cantillon’s efforts paying off

Jack Cantillon: well bred go-getter

36

One of the key areas for growth in racing will be the success of any efforts to attract more young racegoers. This has proven to be a very difficult market to crack in Ireland, but one man with a racing pedigree who is making his own effort, and very successfully too, is Jack Cantillon.

The Trinity College Dublin student is auditor of the Horse Racing Society at the historic college and this year they have attracted more than 1,300 members. This outstanding effort is great credit to Cantillon’s unbridled enthusiasm and that of his fellow committee members. They have a host of plans for the academic year, including a major student raceday at Leopardstown next March.

The youthful society members have ambitious plans to run a college horse.

Cantillon should have little problem sourcing a suitable runner given his connections. His father Dermot has for many years run the Smurfit family equine wing, as well as establishing his own Tinnakill House Stud. His mother Meta is a well known veterinary surgeon and sister of the Irish National Stud’s boss John, and Darley’s Joe Osborne. Their father was the world renowned Michael Osborne.

Hopefully Jack Cantillon’s initiative at Trinity will be replicated elsewhere and the next generation of racegoers will be fostered in the hallowed halls of Ireland’s universities.

A

Worse still, they don’t have the consolation of any of Danedream’s siblings back at home as they sold her dam, the Danehill mare, Danedrop, for only €17,000 seven months after Danedream was born.

And, because two of Danedream’s amazing sequence of three runaway Group 1 victories were achieved on home ground, in the Grosser Preis von Berlin and the Grosser Preis von Baden, they did have the consolation of two fat breeders’ prizes which totalled a not inconsiderable €60,000.

GEORGE SELWYN

number of aspects of Danedream’s demolition of a top class Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe field beggar belief, not least her winning time of 2m 24.49s which trimmed a tenth of a second off Peintre Celebre’s course record.

Picked out as the ‘bargain of the season’ in this column in July, she now must be the bargain of the century.

Already fit and ready to race when she fetched a paltry €9,000 at the BBAG breeze-up in Baden-Baden on June 4 last year, she had won back two-thirds of her purchase price within 16 days of that sale by scoring on her debut at the little-known French provincial course of Wissembourg. Within another five weeks she had gained black type for finishing third in a Cologne Listed contest.

Her Arc victory must have been a bittersweet moment for breeders Gregor and Julia Baum, who run the 250-hectare Gestüt Brummerhof at Soltau, east of Bremen.

They had the joy of standing on the postrace podium at Longchamp, soaking up the adulation of the packed grandstands, but, just as when she won the Italian Oaks, picked up not a sausage in prize-money because the

Five of the seven Group 1 Arc day prizes were exported (four of them to Britain) and, of the two that stayed at home, another had a distinctly German accent.

Dabirsim, who put up a performance to rival Danedream’s in its ‘wow factor’ after making up an astonishing amount of ground to grab the Prix Jean-Luc Lagardere, is owned by Munich bookmaker Simon Springer.

Many people have jumped to the conclusion that, because the unbeaten son of first-season sire Hat Trick has been ridden of late by Frankie Dettori, he will surely be transferred to Godolphin before the year is out.

That is unlikely to be the case. Dettori got the ride through his friendship with Springer’s racing manager, Olly Profft.

And Springer was a very rich man even before Dabirsim plundered over €800,000 in his juvenile year.

Derby reputation boost

The reputation of Italy’s top two Classic races has been given a tremendous boost by the subsequent exploits of Danedream, winner of this year’s Italian Oaks having taken third place in the Derby three weeks earlier.

And, given the 2011 renewal has turned out to have been a red-hot race, there is a real possibility that officials at the Capannelle racecourse in Rome may push for the reinstatement of the Derby’s Group 1 status just three years after it was downgraded.

Some might argue that a return to Group 1 level, and the ensuing penalty that its winner will carry, may deter owners from contesting Italy’s richest race, which this year was run as early as May 7. But, even in these desperate times for the debt-laden Italian economy, a further increase to an already massive first prize of almost £400,000 could be negotiated to help sway any ditherers.

The facts of this year’s race are thus: the runner-up, Cazals, easily won a Listed race next time out before being sold to continue his career

in Hong Kong with trainer Tony Cruz, who is set to aim him at the 2012 Hong Kong Derby.

The third, Danedream, has won three Group 1 prizes, including the Arc. The fourth, Sneak A Peek, has won the Group 2 Premio Federico Tesio. And Figli Fanesi, Bacchelli and Plushenko, who finished sixth, seventh and eighth, have each since prevailed in Listed company.

Which just leaves the regally-bred winner, Crackerjack King. A Shamardal half-brother to two Group 1 winners, Crackerjack King lost his unbeaten record when finishing a dismal 15th in the Prix du Jockey-Club at Chantilly four weeks after the Derby.

Although no explanation has ever been forthcoming, that was clearly not his true running and one does not need to be a sage of the form book to expect him to be capable of much better. He made a smooth comeback from his summer break when beating Figli Fanesi by six lengths in Milan on August 28 and is definitely one to look out for in the end-ofseason showpiece races. >>

“Maxime Guyon, Mickael Barzalona and Thierry Thulliez have all ridden for me of late.

Fergal Lynch, the former champion apprentice whose riding career has been in jeopardy since he admitted to stopping a horse at Ripon in 2004, has recently moved to France.

Lynch had his application for a British jockeys’ licence turned down in March but he is currently plying his trade on a licence he obtained in Spain the following month.

He is now living in a house near Le Mans which allows him easy access to the nearby yard of Eoghan O’Neill, the Irishman who left England in early 2009 and currently has around 60 horses under his care.

CONTINENTAL TALES

Norway can boast a female winning-machine to rival France’s 14-time Group 1 heroine Goldikova, in the shape of the British-bred filly Entangle.

A daughter of Pivotal and the Primo Dominie mare Entwine, Entangle was bred by Cheveley Park Stud, who sent her into training with Jeremy Noseda. But she failed to make it to the racecourse and, at the end of her twoyear-old season in December 2008, was shipped off to the sales ring alongside her dam.

Bought for just 3,200gns by veteran Oslo trainer Arnfinn Lund, she was soon making waves at her new home of Ovrevoll, winning four of her first six starts there, including the Norwegian 1,000 Guineas and Oaks.

She ended her Classic campaign by handing out a seven-length thrashing to older fillies in the Listed Lanwades Stud Stakes in Taby, Sweden, and was crowned Scandinavia’s champion three-year-old filly.

She won five more races in 2010 and broke her Pattern race duck two months ago, when she held off Sir Lando by a nose to lift the Group 3 Marit Sveaas Minnelop. She subsequently landed a Listed race by nine lengths and her most recent run, again in the Lanwades Stud Stakes at Taby on October 9, took her career bankroll through the £330,000

mark, even though unsuitably testing ground meant she had to settle for second.

Lund, 76, said: “She will not race again this year but will stay in training as a six-year-old, when I hope to take her to France at some point.

“I have won races with many cheaply bought horses over the years but I think that she must rate as the best value of them all.”

Overall, she has raced 23 times for 14 wins (including no fewer than nine in Listed company), six seconds, a third and two fourths.

Entangle has three older full siblings who were all decent winners, landing British handicaps off marks in the mid 80s. But her two younger siblings have yet to enhance her paddock value and Entwine is sadly no longer with us.

Sold the day before her daughter in late 2008, Entwine was acquired for 14,000gns by Johnston King’s Riverdene Stud in Northern Ireland, birthplace of the 2002 Dewhurst Stakes winner Tout Seul, who is now a stallion in Italy.

She gave birth to an Exceed And Excel filly five months later but soon after, at the relatively early age of 13, she developed a hind leg infection that was to prove fatal.

The plan seemed both reasonable and somewhat outlandish. Two years ago Simon Callaghan decided to relocate from the comfort of Rathmoy Stables on Hamilton Road in Newmarket to the greater unknown of Santa Anita in Southern California.

Gone would be the familiar yard his father, Neville, had operated since Callaghan was a child, replaced by the barracks-style stables of an American backstretch. The trek to courses such as Wolverhampton would be gone, too, replaced by ample sunshine and afternoons at Del Mar, Hollywood Park and Santa Anita.

Some things would stay the same, however.

The leading filly in his stable in England was the juvenile Dubawi Heights, third in the Group 2 Lowther Stakes at York. Two years later Dubawi Heights is still the top filly in the stable, but one bound for a lucrative prize – the $2 million Breeders’ Cup Filly & Mare Turf at Churchill Downs on November 4.

Now 28, Callaghan, who had 34 winners in his final British season, has a smaller stable in the US, but is having a breakthrough year in 2011, winning two Grade 1 races with Dubawi

Callaghan: enjoying his best season yet

Heights – the Gamely Stakes at Hollywood Park and Yellow Ribbon Stakes at Santa Anita.

Getting this far has exceeded any expectations he could have foreseen.

“I wouldn’t have believed it,” he said on a recent morning at Santa Anita. Callaghan’s stable had 15 horses in early October, but he expects it to double by the year’s end.

At this point, there is little homesickness and no urge to pull up stumps and return to England. The occasional working vacation to the UK helps to solve that. “I feel very settled here,” he said. “I get to go back for Royal Ascot and the Horses in Training Sale.”

After a rough start to her three-year-old season in 2010, plagued by an injury and illness, Dubawi Heights finally beat maidens last November. This year, the filly by Dubawi has won four of her first five starts, including her first career stakes win in the Grade 3 Wilshire Handicap at Hollywood Park in April.

The win left Callaghan nearly in tears, considering how long he had trained her and her troubles from the previous season. It also led him to form an ambitious plan to reach the Breeders’ Cup. The win in the Gamely was followed by the only blemish on the filly’s 2011 record, a second to Stacelita in the Beverly D Stakes at Arlington Park in August.

Sepoy has caviar on the spring menu While Britain eagerly awaits the arrival next year of champion mare Black Caviar, another Australian horse will travel in her shadow, certainly without the same fanfare.

The fact that exceptional colt Sepoy will race in the northern hemisphere in 2012 is a given, but when and where is to be decided by owner Sheikh Mohammed.

It is possible Sepoy will head straight to Dubai before Christmas after completing his Melbourne spring carnival duties. It’s a formula Darley has followed with others since Sheikh Mohammed bought the Woodlands Stud operation from the Ingham brothers.

If so, Sepoy will join Godolphin under the care of Saeed Bin Suroor and be campaigned in March at the Dubai World Cup meeting at Meydan before Royal Ascot in June.

The other option is to campaign Sepoy in

42

Australia in the autumn sprints, when he will be able to dodge Black Caviar, who is likely to race over longer distances than six furlongs.

If Darley decides to go that way, it’s possible Sepoy will be campaigned in Britain under the guidance of his Australian trainer Peter Snowden, before the handover to Godolphin at the end of his June/July campaign.

Could it be that Sepoy will race at Royal Ascot in Sheikh Mohammed’s Darley colours of maroon and white against Godolphin’s blue?

That would be recognition of the contribution the Dubai ruler’s Australian investment is to his overall global thoroughbred conglomerate.

Previously, sending quality Group 1 Australian horses such as Denman, Sousa and Time Thief from Darley to Godolphin hasn’t worked, so to travel under the Snowden banner seems a logical way to go.

Make no bones about it: Sepoy is a special colt, possibly the only horse capable of betting Black Caviar in a sprint. Darley said it won’t be backing away from a clash. It is

She rebounded and her win in the Yellow Ribbon was arguably her best performance yet.

Aside from Dubawi Heights, the summer was highlighted by a win for Up In Time in the Grade 2 San Clemente Handicap at Del Mar. The British-bred filly is owned by Anthony Ramsden, who suggested that Callaghan send his stable to the United States.

In addition, there has been support from Michael Tabor, who owns Callaghan’s first American stakes winner, Turning Top. In the future, Callaghan’s stable will include horses owned by Pearl Bloodstock, notably the two-year-old American-bred Tapit colt Qatar’s Pearl, placed in maiden races in Ireland earlier this year and recently arrived in California.

“We’ll let him feel his way,” Callaghan said.

“He’ll be ready for the Boxing Day meeting.”

When Callaghan said that, he was probably the first person to refer to the opening day of the Santa Anita winter-spring meeting in the same context as if it were the King George Chase at Kempton on the same day.

Callaghan has left England, but England has not left him.

sprinter, Vain. Sepoy is rated as one of the best juvenile gallopers Australia has produced and he has trained on to lift his rating as a three-year-old with four dominant spring wins, including a sensational performance to beat older horses in the Group 1 Manikato Stakes at Moonee Valley in September.

His spring mission is the Group 1 Coolmore Stud Stakes at Flemington against three-year-olds on October 29, although he could take on Black Caviar a week later in the Group 1 Patinack Farm Classic.

Darley’s head man in Australia, Henry Plumptre, said that Sheikh Mohammed is expected to attend the Melbourne Cup, but rest assured, the main reason for him to fly so far south is to watch Sepoy on Derby day.

Sepoy’s pedigree, by Elusive Quality out of a Danehill mare, is a typical 21st century international cross of shuttling sire lines, but his female line is uniquely Australian.

Plumptre believes the colt is a throwback to the Star Kingdom influence in his family.

Homegrown sire talent big boost to local pride South African breeders should feel justifiably proud when they look at the sires’ logs for the season that ended in August. Five of the top 15 stallions were bred in South Africa: Jet Master, Captain Al, National Emblem, Dynasty and Victory Moon.

In the past, horses such as Bush Telegraph, Harry Hotspur and Model Man held their own amongst imports, but never before has South Africa seen such depth and strength in homebred stallions.

What links these horses over and above their SAF suffix is that each went to stud with a fine race record, and each is by a sire that, at some time, featured prominently on the sires’ log himself. The fact that local breeders have kept faith in them bodes well for the future of the South African thoroughbred.

Jet Master, the 17-year-old son of Rakeen, has dominated the tables for the last five seasons but at the end of August

he was only some R96,000 (£7,700) ahead of Captain Al. A son of Al Mufti, Captain Al is out of the Complete Warrior mare Off To War. He won nine races, including the Cape Guineas, and retired to stud in 2001.

Among Captain Al’s best progeny is the Grade 1-winning filly Captain’s Lover, who is also a Group 3 winner in France. To date he has sired 29 stakes winners.

Also by Al Mufti is the Dubaicampaigned Victory Moon, whose tragic death in a stable accident left just four crops following his retirement to Maine Chance Farms in 2005. His dual Grade 1winning daughter Princess Victoria set tracks alight earlier this year.

John Slade, Manager of Maine Chance, said: “He was a very good stallion. People only realise quite how good now that he has gone.” l See www.ownerbreeder.co.uk for more on this story

What the Europeans will see when they cast their eyes on Sepoy is the archetypal Australian sprinter – not tall, but with the physique of a body-builder, powerhouse rear, deep girth and muscular shoulder. Add to this a magnificent head, a flawless action and a wonderful temperament.

Stanley Wootton, who had such an influence on racing in Britain and Australia, is the man who brought Star Kingdom (he raced in the UK as Star King) to Australia in the early 1950s, and the chestnut son of Stardust changed the nature of Australian breeding with his speed influence.

It will be fitting if a colt, very much in the image of Star Kingdom, returns to strut the hallowed turf of Britain more than 60 years later.

job an edge and ultimately had you thinking to the future and the possibility of setting up as a trainer yourself. When I was with Godolphin I used to ride out Kheleyf, the St Leger winner Rule Of Law and was involved with Dubai Destination.

When I was with David Loder in Newmarket we had a couple of boxes in the town and did a bit of pre-training and playing about with horses; it was at that time I bought a horse called Kabeer and we put him into training with Jamie Poulton.

Can you explain what you learnt from working with all those trainers?

They have all got their own styles. I learnt so many different things from them all; the horses’ wellbeing, how you fed them, the workload, treating them as individuals. I can take something from each one of them. It was a massive learning curve for me. David Elsworth is a genius and was champion trainer when I was with him; he understood each horse, he watched their physique develop, knew all their mannerisms. He saw them grow from young and could almost read their minds. And David Loder would have been a champion in his own right, but he was just training two-year-olds, preparing them for Godolphin.

How big a part does Marie, who writes a regular blog for the Racing Post, play in your training operation?

A huge part. Marie runs the shop in the office with a very good girl called Vicky. Marie is basically in charge of the clerical and business side of the operation, juggling the bills! And that leaves me to devote everything to training the horses.

You established yourself as a salaried trainer for Paul Dixon in Retford. You must have been delighted when he chose you above other more experienced candidates…

Funnily enough, I’d read in the paper that Mr Polglase had left the job and straight away I put a CV together and sent it in. Paul Dixon had me thoroughly vetted and had spoken to David Elsworth and David Loder, so I’d like to think they’d said something good about me! I think Paul Dixon was looking for someone young, eager and wanting to get on.

How daunting was it to take the plunge and set up your own yard?

It was very tough and there were a lot of obstacles in the way, one of them trying to find the right place to train from. Looking back now, I wouldn’t want to go through it again. It was a very hard time, very tough on the family as we weren’t certain what was happening or where THOROUGHBRED OWNER & BREEDER INC PACEMAKER

we were going. Thank God, we came through.

We had support from some good owners and, luckily, Arena Leisure put me up at Southwell, where I could train. Then John Fretwell – ‘Gentleman John’ as I call him – very kindly got us into a house because we hadn’t any family accommodation. It was August two years ago, right in the middle of the recession. Now we have a fantastic team doing a great job, from the hard-working tractor driver right through to the girls in the office.

You’re enjoying your best ever season numerically and won your first Group races with the exciting two-year-old Caspar Netscher. What’s been the key to your success?

We’ve been lucky to have horses like Fratellino, who brought us to the fore finishing second in the Windsor Castle Stakes at Royal Ascot. Then we had Azrael, another nice two-year-old last year. Now we have one winning the big races, Caspar Netscher. Of course, it is crucial to have the right staff. If we hadn’t got good, hard-working staff, I couldn’t train the horses.

Simple as that.

Caspar Netscher was desperately unlucky when a fast finishing fifth in his last race, the Middle Park Stakes at Newmarket...

My initial reaction was to feel gutted.

Unfortunately, he got shuffled back and it was a split second decision to go left or right to deliver his challenge. He went left, but Robert [Winston] reckons he would have won if he’d gone right. But I’m afraid that’s the way it goes.

Caspar Netscher was the best horse in the Middle Park and at least we know we have a horse that can compete at Breeders’ Cup level.

How did Charles Wentworth, the owner of Caspar Netscher, select you as his trainer, and will he re-invest?

Just over a year ago, through a mutual friend, I was asked to go to meet Charles and his wife at Beverley. We had a chat and he said he wanted to see the yard. He must have liked what he saw as he sent me a few horses and we went from there. Charles says he is interested in buying some more.

You have been aiming Caspar Netscher at the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Turf for some time. What makes him the right type for that?

He is tough; his constitution is fantastic. He is very easy to handle, travels well and does everything you ask of him. He also possesses the necessary speed – all the right credentials to do well over there. You can never be certain how they will react to long flights and strange surroundings and routines, but we have travelled him up and down the country and he

Have you had orders for the sales this autumn after your success this year?

I wouldn’t say we’ve had orders, but we’ve had interest, some phone calls and meetings at the sales. I’ve been speaking to a few people, looking at yearlings and possible purchases.

I worked for American-based Eoin Harty in Dubai for six months. I have friends working out there and have been to Santa Anita and watched trackwork. They work on a pace; they jump and run.

You never know, if I’m lucky I might get one.

Having made your name with cheaper horses such as Capricorn Run and Cornus, is there extra pressure buying in a higher category?

Obviously when they come here with a price tag on them, you think so. But basically we treat them the same. It doesn’t matter what they cost, the prime objective is to win races. I have one that cost £120,000, another £100,000; Caspar Netscher cost £65,000.

Do you rely on your own judgement or are agents and owners involved?

Sometimes I go, but I get on well with Tom Malone, one of the best young bloodstock agents around. He knows the type I like, so we discuss them. Then I go and view the ones he recommends and after that I call the interested owners and we all gather at the sales.

What effect did the economic downturn have on the business – how many horses do you have in the yard?

We started in the middle of it and have been

very lucky. We came here with 15 horses and it has grown to 65. We have been let down by one or two people financially, but these things happen and we have still managed to build up the business. I find 65 a nice number to work with, though we could handle a few more.

but, unfortunately, I don’t think they will. The only way would be for the government to introduce legislation that would benefit racing’s finances. Also, the BHA should take a much stronger stand. If they have to cut fixtures, that should be the course of action.

Are you a supporter of tariffs and what would you like to see done to tackle the prize-money issue?

We are getting too many lower-grade races, which are being put on cheaply by racecourses so they don’t violate the tariff. If I type in ‘0-65 races’, I get three pages of them; it’s unreal how oversubscribed they are.

If loopholes, which allow bookmakers to be offshore without putting any money back into racing, were closed the situation might improve. I was pleased to read the bookmakers are helping the Arena Leisure courses Lingfield, Southwell and Wolverhampton to increase prize-money, but that is only for lowgrade races. Bookmakers are helping Arena out so they can bet on those races. Yet again bookmakers will be benefiting. What we need is more money for better races. Owners are paying good money to have horses in training and expect to be racing for good money.

Bookmakers should be made to play a bigger part in tackling the prize-money issue,

What do you make of the whip rules?

I think the changes were introduced too hastily, without enough thought and the penalties are harsh. Too much emphasis is on the public’s perception of racing and the use of the whip. I have some lazy horses here and they need cajoling. They are not going to be hurt by the modern, air-cushioned whip. The horses in my yard are treated likely royalty, better than a lot of humans. The new health and safety culture is driving this new rule.

Do you and Marie ever have time together away from the business?

We go on holiday together to Florida, but we still don’t get time to relax because the business still goes on and we are still involved, even though a long way away and six hours behind UK time. We do like to get away for a weekend to see Marie’s parents in Hampshire. When I come in I like to sit down and watch At The Races.

he true gauge of a great racehorse is that it must stir the blood as it approaches the starting stalls. It is the defining moment. To watch one in action is to drink a dizzy cocktail of excitement and apprehension.

Great racehorses are like actors on the stage: their presence is enhanced by the distance between them and their audience.

Yet meet them backstage, stripped of their costumes, and they become flesh and blood.

To visit Goldikova at home is to see a similar transformation. She receives no special treatment; she dwells anonymously in the middle of a long line of boxes. Freddy Head, who has trained her with such dexterity, can’t even see her from the windows of an office where he is obliged to spend most afternoons.

Nor do the staff pay homage on this routine morning. She is simply there: one among a hundred horses on a sun-kissed day, sometimes peering out from the front of her stall, at others retreating into quiet sanctuary. She spends more time back there than out front.

It’s no different cometh the hour for daily exercise. The horse stabled furthest from the opening to the Chantilly forest exits first, followed by the one next door, and so on. One by one they emerge until it is Goldikova’s turn to file in.

She does so with no fuss. Nothing whatsoever demarks her as she makes her way towards gallops she knows so well. She is in rehearsal, bereft of grease paint, going THOROUGHBRED OWNER & BREEDER INC PACEMAKER

through the motions. Her behaviour changes only when a change to her morning routine prefaces an imminent performance.

At first, it’s a little disappointing. Here stands a thoroughbred titan: winner of 14 Group 1 races, nine of them against colts, and bound for a crack at an unprecedented fourth victory in the Breeders’ Cup Mile.

Yet here, within the walled perimeters of Head’s stables on Avenue du General

“Nothing demarks

her as she makes her way to the gallops, bereft of war paint” Leclerc, she is one of a crowd. Nothing in the demeanour of anyone around her betrays the fact that these are some of the last days Goldikova will be in their midst.

Only when morning exercise is complete do the shutters part. Goldikova is no statue: she’s a living, breathing mass of energy who needs to stretch her legs to draw the sap from her. To discover her essence requires peering below the surface into depths which those outside the stable are rarely afforded.

As she dries out from her post-gallop wash, the first thing that strikes you is her

clean limbs. There’s not a mark on them after five years of hard racing. The person least familiar with Goldikova is the resident vet, who never has cause to attend her.

She’s as sound as the day she was foaled, when expectations were immediately dampened by her lack of size.

To this day Head cannot pinpoint what it was about the yearling by Anabaa, whom he rode to champion sprinter honours, that caught his eye when he saw her roaming the paddocks. His request to train her was readily accommodated; she was not coveted by others in the Wertheimer ranks.

And there were no takers when Goldikova’s stable lass left towards the end of 2007, when the champion-in-waiting still resembled an unfurnished clothes horse.

But Head’s vastly experienced head lad, Bruno Huet, had already seen enough.

“She was late in when she arrived,” Huet reflects. “We could see that she had talent, but that she also needed time. Then one day in September of her two-year-old season she did a gallop that showed she was ready for a race. She ran twice at two; not in big races, but she won both times.”

Then followed a process that would repeat itself in the following four years as Goldikova wintered at the Wertheimer stud, in Normandy. Every time she returned to Chantilly she looked a little stronger.

“The change in her physically since she first arrived has been huge,” Huet asserts.

He says he has never seen another racemare with her iron constitution.

Goldikova and regular rider Thierry Blaise (second left) amid Head’s string

>>

The beauty of thoroughbreds of Goldikova’s vintage is that they are fully mature. There is immense strength in her shoulder, which is perfectly rounded, while her hind quarters are robust enough to pull a cart with ease. Her head, set atop a mildly cresting neck, is anything but effeminate.

Perhaps that’s because she is constantly pulling faces and pinning her ears back. She is also prone to repeatedly stamping her off-hind.

It is no act. As you step forward to pat her, Thierry Blaise, her long-time lad, issues a word of warning.

“Attention,” he mutters as he steps between you and the mare. Sure enough, Goldikova curls her lip at the intrusion, shaping as if to

50

bite before backing off.

“In all the years her temperament has always been the same,” Blaise explains. “She is very dominant, a real male in character, but she won’t go for me because she has become used to me. She is much better with one person.”

The truth of the matter is that Goldikova is decidedly anti-social. If you approach the front of her box she bustles forward to head you off.

She may have a mouthful of hay but it isn’t enough to keep her teeth occupied. She’d take a pound of flesh as soon as her beloved carrots.

Blaise looks on from the background, talking to her in monosyllables. The bond between them is born of a mutual understanding, from recognition that Goldikova is happiest when she is left to herself.

Blaise calls her “la vieille”; the old one. He won’t actually say it, but he conveys the impression he will not lament Goldikova’s imminent retirement. Horses have a finite racing life and hers is

nearing its end. Blaise senses it in her. It’s almost as if he would prefer to see her out on the pasture than to be here like a caged tiger.

To make the point, Blaise takes Goldikova over to lawn in the middle of the square yard; she all but yanks the reins from him in her desire to get at it. There is intent in the way she thrusts her head down towards grass she grazes to her heart’s content in winter, but which is denied her in the racing season.

For the last four seasons that has involved trips to Deauville. Goldikova has won there every year but Blaise says it is not her favourite place. There is no privacy; horses are stabled in rows of barns, as they are on American racecourses. And that means a constant stream of visitors straining for a glimpse of the mare who has bewitched the whole of France.

It is Goldikova’s idea of hell; so much so that she stopped staying in Deauville, to where turfistes decamp for August. She is happier shuttling back and forth from familiar surroundings at Chantilly. She knows those surroundings intimately, even if it took her a while to establish them.

The key has been to leave her unstressed at all times. On her formative work mornings she would strain at the leash if asked to settle in behind. Everything is a competition to her; she has long since galloped alone.

“In all the years her

temperament has been the same; she is very dominant” Even in regular exercise, as on this morning, she dips her head low towards the ground in trademark style. There is an abundance of enthusiasm at the gallop, but on her return to the yard she dissolves into the rest of the string.

Just as she prefers.

Racing stables are largely devoid of sentiment. Their mission is to keep the wheels turning as smoothly as possible. To Head’s staff on this Thursday morning the priority is to count horses out to the gallops and count them back again. Only over coffee in the tack room does the collective engine pause.

Tack rooms are the heart and soul of any stable. And here, at last, is evidence of Goldikova’s hallowed place in the scheme of things. Her bridle, a Chifney linked to a common snaffle bit, occupies the first peg inside the door.

An assortment of photographs chronicling Head’s early career now struggle for space among those depicting Goldikova’s many triumphs. And right in the middle of the

banter stands Regis Barbedette, Head’s travelling head lad, with a link from the present to the past.

Barbedette and Head go back a long way. In the 1980s he worked for the late Francois Boutin, to whom Head was stable jockey when Miesque graced the yard. And Barbedette makes no bones about it: Goldikova is better than Miesque ever was.

“Sure, she has been beaten three times this year,” Barbedette says, “but take no notice. The tracks in America are perfect for her. They favour fast horses much more than the straight mile at Ascot and Deauville. I truly believe she will win her fourth [Breeders’ Cup] Mile at Churchill Downs – especially if it does not rain.”

Out in the yard, Blaise has done just about all he needs to do to wrap up Goldikova’s morning. He walks around her as she is tied to the back wall; she does mostly as he commands. When she doesn’t, Blaise cuts her some slack.

Thierry Blaise says of Goldikova “now she is six, she really can’t do any better”

A natural fit for Goldikova

Freddy Head, Goldikova’s trainer

“No point in making a big issue out of something small,” he says by way of explanation. “She likes to feel that she is in charge, which is fine unless she starts getting silly.”

At that point Goldikova gets restless. Blaise says that because of our chat, he is taking longer over his chores than usual – and la vieille is growing impatient. She cocks her offhind, as she has done several times this interlude, but on this occasion she lashes out at thin air behind her.

Blaise moves quickly up to her head, unties her chain and walks calmly out of the box.

Goldikova spins round towards the door, her ears flat back, her eyes glowering with affront at being detained.

She then retreats to the rear, where she shuffles around on her feet until she is as comfortable as her restlessness will allow. It is as though she herself is counting down the days.

THOROUGHBRED OWNER & BREEDER INC PACEMAKER

Thierry Blaise knows a thing or two about celebrated horses, even if they performed under a different code. Before joining Freddy Head five years ago he worked for Bernard Secly, who scaled rare heights with his jumpers.

Blaise’s time there overlapped with two of Secly’s best. Katko was France’s equivalent of Best Mate: he won the Grand Steeplechase de Paris for three straight years from 1988. And Katko was succeeded by the remarkable Al Capone, winner of another prestigious race, the Prix La Haye Jousselin, for seven consecutive years from 1993.

Although he never rode in a race, Blaise, 43, rode those equine legends in their homework. He is stronger than most lads from a Flat background and this made him a natural fit for the young, headstrong Goldikova when her lass left Head’s stable in 2007.

Then a backend two-year-old, Goldikova had already developed a reputation for being hot to handle. “Nobody wanted to look after her,” Blaise recalls. “At that time she was very angular and thin; it wasn’t obvious that she would turn out so good.”

Her metamorphosis is now complete.

“She got stronger and stronger as she aged,” he says. “Now she is six, she can’t really do any better.”

Does Goldikova know she is good? “Yes, I think so,” Blaise avers. “When she started winning big races more and more people wanted to see her, but that made her more

determined to be on her own.

“She is happiest here in Chantilly, but she doesn’t mind going to the Breeders’ Cup with the other French horses because she can stay in the background. On her first trip (to Santa Anita in 2008) she was a bit difficult but now she is very calm on the journey.”

There’s no doubt Blaise has been instrumental in allowing Goldikova to express her abundant talent. A less patient, less tolerant lad might have risen to Goldikova’s bait rather than establish ground rules which both parties are comfortable with. To that end Blaise has not missed one single day with Goldikova: he takes all his holidays in the off-season.

He is reticent when asked what Goldikova means to him. Theirs is a symbiotic relationship based on the longestablished principle of one man, one horse. It is unromantic and far removed from the adrenaline rush Goldikova generates in winning her races.

Blaise has made one concession to Goldikova’s brilliance. Each day he rides out in a pair of worn gloves with a starsand-stripes motif. He points to them with an embarrassed smile and says: “A souvenir, from America. This will be her last Breeders’ Cup; maybe I will buy some more at Churchill Downs.”

And with that, he vaults aboard Goldikova to join the string for morning exercise. How he will feel when he does that for the last time, only he will know.

t’s Newton Abbot’s final meeting of the summer season and David Pipe has just left the parade ring after saddling his first runner of the afternoon. He’s stopped by a middle-aged woman, who introduces herself as Linda, and the two have a brief chat.

“Come up to the box, help yourself to a glass of wine,” says the trainer, and the woman and her companion head off to the sanctuary of his private box.

A wry smile emerges on Pipe’s face. “That was Thomas Barr’s sister,” he says quietly.

“You don’t burn your bridges in this sport.”

Pipe trained the Barrowned Osana to win three races, including a Grade 2, and finish runner-up in the 2008 Champion Hurdle. Despite those achievements, the horse was removed from his stable and sent to Edward O’Grady in Ireland. Yet there’s no hint of illfeeling; losing horses is part and parcel of life as a trainer, something Pipe knows only too well.

His takeover at Pond House, replacing a father who re-wrote the record books in saddling over 4,000 winners, happened during a period of great change, not just in National Hunt racing but the wider world.

When Martin Pipe was crowned champion trainer for the 15th time in 2004/05, he had been helped greatly by the stream of winners – 111 in total – carrying the silks of David Johnson. The next season, when Pipe senior was finally usurped by Paul Nicholls, Johnson

supplied 57 winners. The balance of power had shifted unmistakably in the West Country. It was time for a new regime at Nicholashayne.

The recession that began during David’s first term – when he saddled an impressive 134 winners, becoming in the process the first British handler to record a century in their debut season – forced Johnson to reduce his string further. Last year the former champion owner had just eight winners, five of which were trained by Pipe.

“David would love to have the amount of horses now that he had before,” says Pipe.

“Unfortunately he’s been hit hard in business, as a lot of people have, but he’s a real fighter and a very good businessman.

I’m sure he’ll bounce back and hopefully have the numbers in training that he once did.

“He owns around seven horses with us now, including those in partnership. But he’s still a big supporter and we’ve had some amazing times at Pond House.”

Those amazing times were highlighted by Comply Or Die’s Grand National success in 2008, yet Pipe cannot afford to dwell on past glories, with last season’s winners’ tally dropping to 65.

He has had to re-stock his stable with new horses and new owners. “It will take me two or three years,” was Pipe’s response to this magazine in 2006 when asked about building

“You do what is

best for the owner, even if it means you finish second”

up his band of patrons. The subsequent recession only made his task harder. So how has he done?

“Numbers did drop in the last couple of years – these are tough times financially and this is an expensive hobby, but we’re pleased that numbers are back up this year to when I started, around the 100-mark,” he says.

“The ideal figure would be 160 but you have to be realistic. We rent out the other yard to

Neil Mulholland and, while I’d love to fill those boxes up myself, it works well. I’m very lucky that because of my father’s and grandfather’s efforts I don’t have to pay rent.

“We’ve got a lot of new owners – Robin Geffen, Raymond Tooth and Malcolm Denmark have sent horses to us. We’re looking forward to the new season.”

Having fewer darts to throw at the dartboard has clearly affected the return of winners,

however Pipe offers a further reason why the statistics may not reveal the whole story.

Under the old regime, the relentless pursuit of winners would see runners dispatched to all corners of Britain in all types of races, but the approach these days is more considered and influenced by the ‘p’ word: prize-money.

“In this climate you have to do what is best for the owner,” says Pipe, “and if that means finishing second at Ascot getting £10,000

and stable lad – but there has to be common sense as well. This is another step down the line to getting rid of the whip completely.

Martin Pipe I think the results so far, including winning the Grand National, have helped me come out from his shadow. Because I’m his son I’ve had lots of advantages. I’m sure some people have sent horses to me because I’m son of, and some people haven’t for the same reason. We have our ways of training them but nothing has altered that much at Pond House – why change a winning system?

In any family business you have your moments. Dad doesn’t always agree with what I do but it’s a different time, a different era. He’s there when I need advice. Mum is the saint who has to put up with us both. Mum does all the hiring and firing and Dad doesn’t have any

New whip rules The rules have only just come in so we’re going to have to look at ways of getting the best out of our horses within the rules. I haven’t been involved and no-one asked me my opinion. I don’t know which jockeys they asked but the changes seem very severe.

How many complaints were there after the last National? There were more complaints for Clare Balding’s comment about Liam Treadwell’s teeth! The horse’s welfare is paramount – for every jockey, trainer, owner

The fixture debate We all have to compromise to make it work.

I don’t have the answers but there should be one group in charge of racing, and I think my Dad should be on the panel. You need people who are going to be bold and prepared to make changes. We all have to suffer in the short term to hopefully be better in the long term. Jockeys, trainer, racecourses – not everyone is going to survive in these times.

Whether it is schooling jumpers, saddling runners at the track, driving the tractor at home or riding in the odd race, Gerry Supple is happy to assist with all aspects of the Pipe operation.

Originally from County Kerry, he has spent the last 15 years at Nicholashayne and has worked through the transition from father to son.

Supple says: “Martin had more horses – it wasn’t the case of whether we would have a winner, it was a question of how many winners we would have. We would try to go through cards, that sort of thing.

“But times have changed, it’s a different environment now and there’s no prizemoney in the smaller races, which is why it’s better to finish second or third at the bigger tracks.

rather than going to win at a smaller track for £3,000, so be it. It’s something Dad never did but then he was in a different situation.

“Of course I want more winners – that’s what this game is all about – but the focus is on getting the best out of the horses you have.

Last season, I’msingingtheblues never won a race, which was disappointing, but he finished second to Master Minded and picked up a fair amount of prize-money in his races [just over £25,000].

“I have owners who don’t want to run in races below the tariff – that’s fine by me.

Sometimes it costs you winners but the owner pays the bills and they have the power to say yes or no.

“Owners don’t expect to make money from their racehorses, but they’d like to get

“We were down on numbers last year and I know David would like to have more Saturday horses, but I think we’ll have a good season this time.

“Martin is around most days and it’s brilliant to have his experience. But David is every bit as hungry as Martin was.”

Supple, who has ridden at every UK jumps track bar Ffos Las, is one of four jockey brothers; Willie was second jockey to Hamdan Al Maktoum before returning to Ireland to ride for Paul Deegan, while Robbie won the Hennessy Cognac Gold Cup on Nick The Brief, and John is now a trainer in Ireland.

He adds: “I still hold a licence but I enjoy helping the younger lads coming through – I try to stop them making the mistakes I made.”

something back. Now, unless you have a Saturday horse, you’re not really getting much back, if anything.”

The owners in Pipe’s box at Newton Abbot may not be getting much back but that doesn’t seem to be stopping them from enjoying themselves. Far from it; with the constant banter and flow of drinks there’s a party-like atmosphere.

One place behind is Peter Bowen’s runner, representing the booming Welsh scene.

Could Pipe ever contemplate becoming champion trainer against such fierce opposition?

He says: “I always joke with Dad but I think

you ride. Once you win you get more confident.

He’s strong in the finish and a good tactician and he rides every horse well. Conor O’Farrell is our conditional jockey. At our place if you work hard you get opportunities.

I probably don’t take a holiday as often as I should. We recently spent four days in Portugal; three or four days is enough for me.

But then a holiday is a great time to think about the horses. Sometimes you can be too close and too involved.

Grands Crus will go over fences this year to avoid running up against Big Buck’s

National Hunt racing is as competitive as it’s ever been. There’s no such thing as a weak race now. You go to the sales and it’s a very strong market. It’s just the prize-money [that is poor].

“Yes, it would be very nice [to be champion trainer] but at the moment it’s not a realistic target, not with the firepower that Paul Nicholls and Nicky Henderson have. In five years’ time I may be stronger.”

If Pipe is to ever topple Nicholls and co he’ll need more horses of the calibre of Grands Crus.

The exciting son of Dom Alco’s stunning improvement saw him go from winning a handicap hurdle at Cheltenham’s Open Meeting in November, to giving Big Buck’s a real fright in the Ladbrokes World Hurdle at the Festival in March.

That first meeting with Big Buck’s – he later chased home Andy Stewart’s behemoth at Aintree – was built up in the racing press and the encounter didn’t disappoint, with the reigning champion holding off the young pretender by just under two lengths to claim his third victory in the race.

“For a couple of strides I thought we were going to win,” Pipe says. “But the other horse pulled out more. It’s great having a horse that can compete with Big Buck’s.

“We don’t want to finish second to him this year so we’re going novice chasing. His target is Cheltenham. He loves to race – perhaps a little too enthusiastically at times – but he’s only six, still improving and strengthening up. If we keep him in one piece he could end up being a Gold Cup horse.”

With those words, Pipe leaves the box to saddle his final runner of the day, American Art, in a selling hurdle for Brian Kilpatrick, who owned top-class chaser Sabin Du Loir.

American Art makes it a happy end to proceedings for the yard after being left clear at the last to make it four wins on the bounce. The trainer is pleased.

He’s a tough horse, related to Upgrade that Dad used to train and is very similar,

BREEDERS’ DIGEST

By EMMA BERRY, Bloodstock Editor

Our extended bloodstock coverage this month includes:

• Yearlings sales reports and analysis from Britain, Ireland, Italy and the US – pages 62-70 • Philip Freedman’s assessment of the European yearling sales – page 71 • Tattersalls’ October Sale in pictures – pages 72-73 • Tales from the sales – pages 74-77 • Breeders’ guide to stallion movements for 2012 – pages 78

High prices not the only route to success

T

here was something of a surreal air at Tattersalls during the October Yearling Sale.

The Indian summer played its part, but it wasn’t only the unseasonal warmth that led to such a

deem will work best with their mare. Witness the fact that the Aga Khan regularly has toplevel success with horses by under-the-radar sires such as Refuse To Bend (Sarafina), Desert Style (Mandesha), Polish Precedent (Darsi) and Key Of Luck (Alamshar).

feel-good factor.

Throughout Book 1, buyers and vendors alike shook their heads in wonder at the strength of trade. While feedback throughout the middle weekend hinted at a declining standard in the physical qualities of the horses on offer in Book 2, trepidation proved unfounded as another three-day catalogue, with colts outnumbering fillies approximately two to one, proceeded seemingly undaunted by the problems of the wider world.

Book 3, largely populated by the stock of smaller British breeders and with a heavy filly bias, returned to the realms of realism but that too posted an improved aggregate on 2010, even with 60 fewer horses sold.

There are many positives to be drawn from an elite sale which attracted a diverse band of buyers, many of whom were investing heavily in fillies with long-term breeding interests in mind. The polarisation of interest in key sires, however, should be of concern to breeders and to the studs which stand all but the most in-demand stallions.

In the words of one successful breeder during Book 2 at Tattersalls, “If your horses aren’t by the right stallion you’ve got no chance. Most agents haven’t even pulled my horses out to have a look at them and they’re from good families. By different sires, they would have been Book 1 horses.”

Large owner/breeders can of course take a chance on using whichever stallion they

For breeders who have to be more commercially-minded, foresight that goes beyond just being a shrewd judge is required to second guess who will be top of the hot list a few years hence. Of course it wouldn’t necessarily have taken a crystal ball to predict the success of Galileo, but he is beyond the reach of most breeders.

The rise in demand for yearling colts by Acclamation, who was the leading first-season sire of 2007, comes on the back of a very good year on the track, with eight individual Group winners including Harbour Watch and

Tangerine Trees: unwanted at the sales

Lilbourne Lad. His average for yearlings sold in 2011 (to the end of Book 3) has leapt to 83,769gns, from 38,643gns in 2010.

It’s understandable that racecourse success leads to an upsurge of fortunes at the sales – Exceed And Excel has enjoyed a similar rekindling of interest to Acclamation – but nothing could be more dispiriting for breeders than to have a line put through a yearling’s page in a catalogue simply because the top-half of the pedigree doesn’t fit that season’s fashion.

Big prices naturally dominate the sales headlines but each year on the racecourse there are a handful of results to keep all of us at the lower end of the game living in hope, and we were spoilt for choice on Arc day. Five of the seven Group 1 winners at Longchamp were offered for auction and made the following: Danedream €9,000 (BBAG Breezeup), Dabirsim €30,000 (Arqana August), Dream Ahead $11,000 (Keeneland September) and £36,000 (DBS Breeze-up), Elusive Kate $70,000 (Keeneland September) and Tangerine Trees, not sold at £8,000 (DBS October).

It’s also worth considering the sires of these five horses: Lomitas, Hat Trick, Diktat, Elusive Quality and Mind Games. With the exception of the American-based Elusive Quality, none of these stallions would be considered to be particularly fashionable.

Admittedly such results can be bittersweet for those that bred and raised these horses, particularly if, as in the case of Danedream, the dam has also been sold, but there is some consolation to be had in the form of vindication of mating plans. And for agents and trainers, it’s a reminder that good racehorses come at all prices and are sired by stallions fashionable and unfashionable alike.

EMMA BERRY

N

ot since the heady days of 2007 has there been a yearling auction in Europe to rival trade at this year’s Tattersalls’ October Sale, seemingly conducted in splendid isolation from concerns over domestic prize-money levels and world economic volatility.

All three books were reduced in size on last year, and at their lowest combined size since 2005, but each managed an increase in turnover with an influx of big spenders in Book 1.

Last month we highlighted the cosmopolitan group of buyers who had bought lots for 300,000gns or more in 2010 and most were back again this year. There were 37 lots to hit that barrier this year, compared to 32 in 2010 and they were spread between 21 different buyers.

While Coolmore accounted for eight and Sheikh Mohammed three of the 37, there was a big mixture of other buyers. Sheikh Sultan bin Khalifa Al Nahyan from Abu Dhabi, Kuwaiti-based Saleh Al Homaizi and Malaysian royal Sultan Ahmad Shah were among the major overseas purchasers who also made a splash last year.

Sheikh Fahad Al Thani of Pearl Bloodstock did not buy any of the dearest yearlings but his father Sheikh Abdullah, a former prime minister of Qatar and

Croom House Stud’s daughter of Gaileo out of Witch Of Fife sold for 850,000gns

previously best known in British racing as the owner of Midnight Legend, was at the sale buying under his Umm Qarn banner.

Another Qatar royal family member, Sheikh Mohammed bin Khalifa Al-Thani who buys as Al Shahania Stud, bought a pair of lots for 430,000gns and 320,000gns.

Bennett, who spent 3,005,000gns on fillies in 2006 and 4,040,000gns the following year, made a return to the sale ring. There was nothing to match his record-priced 2.5 million gns purchase Liffey Dancer, an unraced three-parts sister to this year’s sale topper, but he bought a 500,000gns Cape Cross filly. Hesmonds Stud’s new owner Nurlan Bizakov paid 1.7 million gns for the top lot, who graces this month’s cover.

There were also leading figures from the financial world such as Neptune Investment Management founder Robin Geffen, former HSBC head of global markets Guy Heald, US-based Bjorn Nielsen and 30-year-old city trader Lawrie Inman.

Roy and Gretchen Jackson, the American breeders of George Washington, returned to yearling buying while the Niarchos family and Cheveley Park Stud were among those acquiring fillies as long-term breeding prospects, a theme of the sale.

Last year in Book 1, the top four lots were fillies, three of them by Galileo and this year the bias was even more pronounced with five of the top six lots Galileo fillies.

Such was the female pulling power that unusually, and for the first time since 2006 in Book 1, fillies averaged more than colts.

Female yearlings averaged 156,432gns, 17.8% more than their male counterparts.

It was not a trend that continued further down for the lesser bred fillies. In a colt-heavy Book 2, the fillies averaged 30,947gns, 43% less than the males, while in Book 3 the figure was 7,264gns, 39% lower than for colts.

Charlie Gordon-Watson, who calculates that he has spent £8 million on yearlings in 2011, was buying for owners from nine different countries including Kazakhstan, USA, Dubai, Malaysia, Italy, Greece and Hong Kong and some feel the government should do more to recognise the foreign investment in British racing.

“The clearance rate was fantastic and the number of different buyers at a high level was very healthy,” said New England Stud’s Peter Stanley. “The most important thing the government needs to realise is that we have an internationally popular industry without any state help.

“If only they would feed and nurture this industry in the way the Irish and French governments have done then we could be a world leader in a time of a depressed economy. It’s madness not to make the most of an industry in which we are already so successful.”

John Warren, both a major buyer and via his wife Carolyn’s Highclere Stud the leading consignor in Book 1, believed that the new

format contributed to its success. The sale started a day later, enabling buyers to attend the Arc and featured 181 fewer lots.

“Everything fell into place and worked well. Around 500 seemed the perfect number of lots and the later starting day as well as finishing in time for people to have dinner in the evening all worked,” said Warren.

“We are dealing with a worldwide commodity and we’re lucky that overseas owners recognise this. You’ve got to keep reminding people how fantastic are the events we have such as Royal Ascot and Champions’ Day because we have a great product.

“But we shouldn’t underestimate the production costs for breeders, nomination fees are high and breeders need a good return to keep going. Breeding is a futures game and the matings for these yearlings were planned in 2008 so you need foresight to have horses by the right sires.

“In many ways it has been a sigh of relief for them and they will reinvest in the business and the market for mares and foals should be strong.”

Tattersalls October Book 1 Not since the Houghton Sale was axed and the new October Sale format introduced in 2004 has there been such a small Book 1 catalogue but it still produced a sizeable increase in turnover to 51.6 million gns. The reduced numbers helped produce records for average and median of 141,852gns and 100,000gns.

The sale-topper, a Galileo three-parts sister to Listen and Sequoyah, was the most expensive yearling sold in Europe or America this year after making 1.7 million gns. She was bought by Charlie Gordon-Watson for Nurlan Bizakov of Hesmonds Stud and is likely to join Sir Michael Stoute.

Sheikh Mohammed was the sale’s most prolific buyer, picking up 33 lots for 6,036,000gns, and – combined with Shadwell, Rabbah Bloodstock and Dick O’Gorman – the Maktoums’ spend came to 9,858,000gns, 19% of the sale turnover and they bought 18% of the lots.

It represented a revived expenditure for racing’s biggest ever investor. In 2010, Ferguson did not buy a yearling for more than 220,000gns at Tattersalls, although the Maktoum entitities’ expenditure came to 9,048,000gns, 18.7% of that year’s turnover.

In 2009, the same groups bought 125 lots (26.3% of those sold) for 15,867,000gns (29.5% of the turnover). In 2008 the three Maktoum entities bought 107 lots for 15.6 million gns, 31% of that year’s aggregate for Book 1.

Galileo fillies accounted for five of the six highest prices (see panel, page 63) and for, good measure the only lot to break his stranglehold was an Oasis Dream colt out of a mare from the champion sire’s first crop.

That yearling, bred by Leicestershire-based George and Jackie Smith, showed a huge advance on Oasis Dream’s £30,000 stud fee when selling to Coolmore for 700,000gns.

Highclere Stud was the leading Book 1 consignor for the fifth consecutive year.

While Book 1 was dominated by the progeny of Galileo, in the second book it was the turn of Acclamation to overshadow every other sire (see panel, page 63). Colts by the Rathbarry Stud inmate accounted for six of the top 10 prices.

Largely thanks to Acclamation’s success, Rathbarry were leading vendors in Book 2, selling 12 lots for a total of 1,160,000gns.

The sale topper was a 260,000gns colt by Exceed And Excel, another stallion in fashion, bred by Anthony and Victoria Pakenham and consigned from Hugo and Jo

It is likely that some of their yearling buys, including a 220,000gns Shamardal colt, will be trained by Richard Hannon for Sheikh Hamdan Al Maktoum.

Rabbah Bloodstock, the Maktoum offshoot, was the leading Book 3 buyer, taking home five lots for 158,000gns headed by the sale-topping 65,000gns Kyllachy filly bought by Saeed Manana. The filly was sold from John Worboys’ Shortgrove Manor Stud.

Arch filly sold by Sonia Rogers’s Airlie Stud while Sir Robert Ogden bought two lots for €300,000 apiece, including a Galileo filly out of Alouette’s daughter Altitude, sold by breeder Kirsten Rausing from her Irish-based Staffordstown farm.

John Ferguson signed for nine lots for a total of €822,000 while the sale’s leading vendor was Flash Conroy’s County Tipperary-based Glenvale Stud after selling 13 yearlings for a total of €1,155,000.

Tattersalls Ireland Sale There may have been no six-figure lots, with a modest top price of €70,000 paid by Willie Browne for a Duke Of Marmalade colt to resell next year, but there was no shortage of demand at Tattersalls Ireland’s September Yearling Sale.

The clearance rate of 84% was the best of recent years and the €4,626,400 turnover was the highest since the halcyon days of 2007, although it was little more than half that year’s €9,001,400 figure. The €10,911 average and €8,000 median had climbed to their highest levels since 2008.

There was a healthy smattering of British trainers at the sale, including Tom Dascombe, who paid €58,000 for an Acclamation colt through Ed Sackville of Sackville Donald.

Keeneland September Sale Although still a far cry from its all-time high of almost $400 million in 2006, turnover at this year’s Keeneland September Sale passed the $200 million mark for the first time since 2008, with a final gross of $223,487,800.

The average of $76,511, up 18%, and the $30,000 median, increased by 20%, were also the highest figures for three years.

As usual, Rome agent Federico Barberini – who bought Dream Ahead in Keeneland’s final book two years ago – outlasted all other Europeans and bought two lots for $10,000 and $2,500 on the sale’s thirteenth and final day.

Italian Sales SGA/ITS Despite some six-figure transactions, neither of Italy’s yearling sales, taking place a week apart at the same venue outside Milan in September, were outstanding successes.

Anthony Stroud travelled to the SGA Sale, paying €210,000 for a Dubawi colt, but there was a clearance rate of just 58%.

The ITS Sale, which was revived this year, had two six-figure transactions, both sold by the Botti family’s Razza del Velino and bought by Scuderia Effevi, led by a €260,000 Cape Cross half-sister to the Derby Italiano winners Awelmarduk and Crackerjack King and Gran Premio di Milano winner Jakkalberry.

Andreas Putsch of Haras de Saint-Pair bought the three-year-old, who was well beaten in the following day’s Prix de l’Opera.

The Grand Prix de Chantilly winner Silver Pond was bought for €510,000 by Saeed Al Romaithi, whose 2010 purchase Rajsaman had scored earlier in the afternoon. The four-year-old was unplaced in the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe a few hours after going through the ring.

Although there was a clearance rate of only 61.7%, an improvement on last year, the top end demand saw turnover rise by 90% to €6,347,000.

In the face of such an adverse economic environment the results achieved at Tattersalls were a hugely welcome boost to the industry, and an indication that the market is recovering. Yet looked at as a whole, the results of this year's European yearling sales indicate the amount of ground still to be made up.

“

Following the October Yearling Sales at Tattersalls it might appear that the bloodstock market has recovered a large part of the decline it has suffered from the high point of 2008.

Yet the figures shown here, for all the European yearling sales, indicate a rather different picture, with the number of yearlings sold in both the £200,000+ and £100,000+ bracket still falling well short of the numbers achieved in 2009, albeit considerably ahead of the 2010 figures.

The most significant change has been market share, which in 2011 has seen Tattersalls (to the end of October Book 3) selling some 78% of the yearlings for more than £200,000 this year, against 70% a year ago. For breeders, faced with the average

Tales from the sales...

Kept extremely busy throughout the October Sale was the new training partnership of Daniel Kübler and his fiancée Claire Middlebrook, who will set up at Whistbury Manor in Hampshire this month.

The couple, who are leasing a yard on the estate from the Harper family, will share Whitsbury’s famous gallops with fellow resident trainer George Baker. Though the licence will be held in Kübler’s name, it is very much a joint enterprise, with Middlebrook, who recently completed a stint as assistant trainer to Jeremy Noseda, taking an equally hands-on role.

“When you get into horseracing you just get hooked and it’s always been my ambition to train”, she says. We want to do things slightly differently, not just send horses in a straight line up the gallops every day, and we have plenty of space to turn horses out.

An experienced rider, Middlebrook also has strong ties to the industry via her parents, Gary and Lesley, who are well known as successful owner/breeders of the likes of Reverence and Distinctive.

“Mum and dad are right behind us, though I think they’re glad I have my accounting experience to fall back on,” says Middlebrook, who has also enjoyed the city life in her time with PricewaterhouseCoopers. “I just came to the point where I wanted to do something else and I’ve been very lucky. My parents have never tried to stop me following this dream and everyone at work was very jealous when I told them what I was going to do.

“We’ve got a few syndicates lined up and a few people who want to buy a horse. We’re trying to attract people from outside racing and some of my former colleagues are interested.”

Kübler and Middlebrook, both 28, met when working for Highclere Stud before both heading to America to further their experience of the racing world.

“I’m originally from Switzerland and spent some time in Australia breaking horses but my

owners of Paddy Power Gold Cup winner Tranquil Sea and Cheltenham Festival winners Back In Front and Ninetieth Minute. Both farms are in County Kildare and managed by David Cox, who is married to Horseracing Ireland’s Tamso Doyle.

Dave Myerscough, a grandson of Vincent O’Brien, trained for five years on the Curragh before turning his hand to stud and sales work.

He says: “I had more than 30 winners and I really enjoyed it while I was doing it but I thought there must be easier ways of losing money.

“We have a mix of homebreds and horses for clients and we’re looking to increase our broodmare band.”

Historic names form new commercial venture

A new name among the consignors’ list this season is Baroda & Colbinstown Studs. While each stud on its own is well known, this is the first time they have operated in partnership.

“We sold our first horse together at Doncaster,” says Dave Myerscough of Colbinstown, who has established the joint venture with David Cox of Baroda. “We had a small number of horses each last year so we thought we’d try to pull together, try to keep the costs down and have a bigger presence at the sales. We’re getting some pretty good feedback and hopefully now we can come up with some good results.”

The duo should certainly be pleased with their results from Book 1, with the two yearlings offered – colts by High Chaparral and Pivotal – fetching 135,000gns and 110,000gns. They also found homes for all three offered during Book 2.

“We’ve a nice bunch of mares for the December Sales too, including the dam of Talwar and a half-sister to Midday,” says Myerscough, whose father Philip is an auctioneer at Tattersalls and formerly owned Baroda Stud before selling it to the Cox family.

Mark Richards is well known on these shores as a former jump jockey but he has been absent for 12 years during his time working for the Hong Kong Jockey Club. A recent change of personnel at the club has seen him step into the role of yearling buyer.

“I shadowed Mark Player last year and took over in December,” says Richards, whose buying season starts in Deauville and ends at Inglis’s Easter Sale in Australia. Such was the strength of Book 1 at Tattersalls that Richard was forced to extend his trip by a week to cover Book 2.

“I would have liked to have everything done in the first week but the market has just been incredibly strong,” he admitted. “I don’t think I’ve ever been so far out with my estimates. After half an hour on the first day I knew that I would need to reassess. It’s been so different to Goffs or Arqana.”

With seven yearlings bought at Keeneland, Richards was hoping to secure 14 from the European sales. The Stormy Atlantic colt bought during Book 1 was joined by four Book 2 colts with price tags ranging from 120,000gns to 260,000gns for the sale-topping son of Exceed And Excel out of Temple Of Thebes.

first job in racing was with Tom George in Gloucestershire,” says Kübler, who has also worked for Gai Waterhouse in Australia and Ben Cecil in America. “I spent three years with Roger Charlton and learnt so much from him. His attention to detail is phenomenal.”

The couple hope to start their new venture with around 15 horses and the yard is already in the process of being stocked following the purchase of two fillies by Medicean and one by Compton Place at Tattersalls.

“I’ll be the trainer and Claire will be the boss,” says Kübler with an attitude that will surely stand him in good stead for future married life.

Boost for Bumble

Bumble Mitchell

Consignor Bumble Mitchell may have had just two yearlings in Book 1 but she was delighted with the results when selling an Oasis Dream filly for 320,000gns and a Selkirk filly for 120,000gns. Both were consigned by Mitchell for a relatively new name on the scene, The Kathryn Stud, which is based in Buckinghamshire on the site of a former dairy farm and owned by breeders Fergus and Kathryn Anstock.

“I knew I had two nice fillies but you never dream they’ll go quite as well as that. I did sell a yearling for 530,000gns back in the eighties but these have been the best I’ve sold for a long time.

I’m extremely lucky that The Kathryn Stud sent me two such lovely fillies,” said Mitchell, who was introduced to the Anstocks by bloodstock agent Jeremy Brummitt, who advises the couple.

“This is the third year I’ve consigned for them and they have really nice horses,” she added.

Everybody needed a lift and the strength of the sale has cheered up quite a few people.

Sommerville heads for home This was the final October Sale for Kevin Sommerville, a member of Juddmonte’s nominations team and one of the founding committee members of the TBA’s Next Generation Club. Sommerville, 31, is returning to his native South Africa with his wife Katrina to work for the newly-formed Cape Thoroughbred Sales company under the command of his former boss Robin Bruss.

“It’s a completely new sales company so everything has to be started from scratch,” says Sommerville. “Initially my main job will be client relations. We want to make the sale as enjoyable as we can for the customer and to encourage people from overseas to come to South Africa to buy and race horses.”

Sommerville is a graduate of the second Darley Flying Start scheme and also did a stint

at Keeneland before joining Juddmonte in 2008.

“It’s been an absolute privilege to work for Juddmonte and I’d like to thank Philip (Mitchell) and Simon (Mocckridge) for giving me the chance. There are too many things that I will miss about being here,” he says.

“I’m really proud of the incredible success of the Juddmonte stallions but it’s also been a real golden patch for the racehorses. During the time I’ve been here I’ve become very attached to Oasis Dream and I watch his results more than any other stallion. I’ve come to know his stock very well and if I could leave one comment on him for trainers and breeders it’s that they need a strong pace in a race. They absolutely thrive on it just like he did.”

Passionate about encouraging young people to become involved in the breeding industry, Sommerville met a group of like-minded individuals when he signed up for the NGC committee. He has made a significant contribution to the formative years of the club and he admits to sadness in having to relinquish his role.

will be temporarily under the care of trainer Nick Littmoden, who, with bloodstock agent Larry Stratton, assists Richards when buying in Europe. The horses will head to Hong Kong next year to be sold as two-year-olds.

“In 2012 our sale will be split into two parts for the first time,” explains Richards. “The December sale will be primarily northern hemisphere horses and the March sale mainly southern hemisphere but there’s always one that isn’t quite ready for the sale or has had a setback and this offers a second chance. Originally the sale was put back to March to give the southern hemisphere horses a bit more time.”

The buying team has a strict set of criteria for each yearling to meet: colts are very much favoured and each must pass a stringent vetting process in Hong Kong. Having a horse by the right sire is also essential.

“Encosta De Lago works particularly well, as does O’Reilly, and Pins did too,” says Richards.

“In the northern hemisphere it’s not so obvious.

We haven’t had a good Galileo in Hong Kong yet but it’s only a matter of time – he can’t be a good sire everywhere else in the world and not in Hong Kong.

“I’m very aware that the distances we race over need a sharper type of mare under a stallion anyway. I’m not keen to be looking at 2400m winners – I’m looking more for the sprinter/miler mares that will put speed into a horse. A lot of our best races are up to a mile.

We don’t have the number of races to be buying the mile and a half horses – there are only three races over 2400m. We’re not just buying horses to race at two and three – we need durable horses who will start racing at three and hopefully carry on until they’re about nine. We want sustainability, durability as well as performance.”

He adds: “I have an open mind on stallions.

I prefer a proven sire but you also have to be aware of what’s coming through. While I was in America recently I was very impressed with the stature of the Street Boss and Street Sense yearlings. From a Hong Kong perspective I see them as being a little bit more substantial than the Street Crys.

“I picked up a Dutch Art at Goffs: they look like the type of horses who could do well in Hong Kong. Invincible Spirit and Acclamation are also obvious horses because they are fairly speed-orientated.”

Having retired from race-riding in June 1999, Richards wasted no time in establishing himself in Hong Kong. By August he was already a presenter on the racing channel and he later became manager of the HKJC Racing Club, which aims to attract young people into racing.

“People are not allowed to go racing in Hong Kong until they are 18,” he explains. “My job was to try to educate people about horses and racing.”

Despite enjoying life in his adopted home country, he admits he still has the odd pang

He says: “A lot of people love racing but few understand how a racehorse is made and it’s essential that we try to explain that to the younger generation. It’s a real testament to the industry in this country that there are some young passionate people keen on keeping it going. We need to follow the TBA’s initiative and try to set up a similar group in South Africa to try to expose more people to the bloodstock industry.”

Quite apart from his expert handling of Frankel, there’s no denying that there’s just something a little bit different about Sir Henry Cecil.

His attention to detail is the stuff of legend and it would seem he also has a unique approach to yearling selection. While looking at a Kyllachy colt out of Up And About from the Whatton Manor Stud draft, he asked Edward Player if he could lead the horse. Sir Henry was obviously impressed as he later bought him for 100,000gns.

ROA FORUM The special section for ROA members

Grim picture, but light at the end of the tunnel Michael Harris bemoans racing’s dire funding but says work is underway to find a solution Racehorse owners in Britain will not be surprised to see that today’s overall prize-money message makes for very grim reading.

Our Racecourse League Table (page 87) shows that, when taking the past 12 months up to and including September into account, total prize-money has declined to £90.5 million, a drop of £15m or 14%.

This drastic decline is largely due to the yearon-year levy figure dipping by £21.5m and owners’ contributions declining by £2m as a result of a reduction in entries.

The figure swings back the other way when you take account of the 12-month increase in racecourse executive and sponsorship contributions.

These have risen by £10m, pushing the overall racecourse figure up to the current £40m level and reflecting the fact that the courses have injected more of their media rights income into prize-money in an effort to cushion the levy decline.

Nevertheless, the overall picture remains depressing and whether there is light at the end of the tunnel depends on the outcome of two major pieces of work that are currently taking place within the racing and betting industries.

The first is being conducted under the auspices of the Department for Culture,

“We must only agree

to a levy replacement if it will leave racing better off” Media and Sport. It involves betting and racing being engaged in discussions on a system that could eventually replace the levy with a commercial mechanism.

For this to happen, however, it will be necessary for any agreement to be underpinned by new legislation that ensures

that our industry shares in the value of bets that are struck on all British horseracing, wherever and however that bet is struck.

The second of these work streams involves the racecourses on the one side and the horsemen on the other.

Again, commercial agreements between the two parties will be the foundation of this new structure but, just as we need enforceability with the bookmakers, we must also have it with the racecourses.

Given that the horsemen can be given absolute assurances, there is some logic attached to a system whereby money flows from the betting industry to the racecourses and from the courses to the horsemen.

But, whatever the shortcomings of the levy system – and it is clearly delivering a miserable return to racing at the moment – it has provided certainty for racing over 50 years.

The present government may be keen to see the demise of the levy, but racing must be equally resolute in only agreeing to this if and when there is a replacement that is guaranteed to leave this industry in a better position.

RULE CHANGES One of the proposals introduced as part of the BHA’s Whip Review recommended that where a jockey is found to have breached the rules through their use of the whip resulting in a suspension of three days or more, the jockey will forfeit any share of prize-money as well as the riding fee.

To underpin this rule, new Rule (E)89A.1 means it is an offence for an owner to compensate, or instruct any person to compensate, a jockey for earnings forfeited as a result of breaching the whip rules.

The BHA’s head of communications Paul Struthers explained: “It is important to stress that during the consultation phase jockeys were adamant that they were never instructed to breach the whip rules.

“We accepted that, but there would have been little point in implementing a financial element to the new penalty structure without a supporting rule and penalty structure that prevented jockeys bring compensated for any forfeiture of riding fee or prize-money and deterred anyone who might be tempted to do so.” *The new rules are now subject to review.

Claiming races Racecourse claims are being abolished this month, as part of a package of changes to the Claiming Race Protocol. From November 7, all claims will be made by telephone to Weatherbys. This reflects a dwindling number of claims being made on the track.

The telephone claiming line will incorporate an advisory message letting potential claimants know that it will be a breach of Rule (F)56 to be: ● Party to more than one claim per horse; ● Submitting a claim when a person with whom they are already in a partnership has already submitted a claim.

Penalties are being increased to reflect the seriousness of the breach and claimants’ awareness of the rules and their responsibilities.

It will be an offence for a claimed horse to be entered or run for a period of six months (and for it to be an offence by the successful claimant and the owner to run such a horse) if it is sold or leased (in full or in part) to either the previous owner or any of the unsuccessful claimants. To avoid such a breach the names of all claimants will be published the day after on the Administration Site and the BHA Site.

Whip Review

Owners can’t compensate jockeys for loss of earnings under the new whip rules

These changes follow recommendations made by a working party comprising the BHA, NTF, ROA and RCA. The updated Claiming Race Protocol can be viewed on the ROA website from November 7.

Integrity rules Owners’ attention is drawn to a number of substantive new rules being introduced by the BHA, as provisions of the Integrity Codes of Conduct have been moved into the Rules of Racing.

The Integrity Code of Conduct instructed owners to refrain from laying a horse he/she owned, and from laying a horse from a yard where they have a horse in training, but this is moving under rule, and the new wording follows: New rule (E) 92.2 will be effective from November 1: 92.2 A Listed Person must not 92.2.1 lay any horse he owns, or any horse under the care or control of the same Trainer as any horse he owns, with a Betting Organisation to lose a race.

The rule comes with increased penalties.

The guidelines give an entry point of £1,000 or suspension/withdrawal/disqualification for three months, and range of £500-£2,500, one month–three years.

The ROA Council made representation against this change, but it was nonetheless ratified by the BHA. To support these rules, new Rule (A) 42A, is being introduced which will require that owners, trainers and jockeys should report any instances of actual or attempted malpractice which may compromise the integrity of horseracing.

Many sports have similar rules in place, as the sport’s participants will often be the best sources for such information.

Other integrity changes Other provisions in the Codes which are not already covered by specific Rules are being

moved into the Registration/Licence Application Guidance Notes. The provisions will become relevant criteria taken into account when assessing an applicant’s ‘suitability’ at application stage, and on an ongoing basis. Any failure to observe the provisions for the criteria will become a matter for the Licensing Committee.

The Rules of Racing, including forthcoming rules changes, are online at http://rules.britishhorseracing.com/Home

Non-Racing agreement (NRA) When a horse changes hands, or is retired, a Non-Racing Agreement (NRA) may be completed where the intention is that it will not participate in any future race. This agreement is then lodged with Weatherbys, who are able to flag their database should an entry be made for that horse to run again.

Following consultation with industry groups, the BHA has amended the NRA and Rule (E)26 and the following process will apply from November 1.

NRAs must be on the prescribed form NRAI (available from Weatherbys), signed by the person transferring the horse and by the transferee. The form should accompany the horse’s passport and be sent to the Racing Calendar Office at Weatherbys, where the horse’s passport will be endorsed.

Where an NRA is registered, the Authority will notify the person who transferred the horse of any occasion on which the horse is reported as being in training or an attempt is made to enter to run in a race under these rules and will prevent the horse from being entered to run in any such race.

The Authority may cancel the registration of the NRA where it receives a written and signed notice of cancellation in the prescribed form from all persons who signed the Form NRA1.

It is expected that this will further protect horses which come out of training with the intention that they should not race again.

The ROA’s series of monthly website competitions from July to September, to win a day-trip to the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe on a tour operated by Horse Racing Abroad, proved to be very popular.

ROA member Alex Woodger from Crawley was among the six lucky prize winners, and his guest was fellow member Tracey Walsom, who also co-owns a five-year-old gelding in training, Screaming Brave, with Woodger.

Woodger said: “It was a fantastic trip to win, particularly as we had never been to the Arc before and I had wanted to go for over 20 years! The day trip meant an early start from home in Sussex but the seamless organisation of Horse Racing Abroad ensured it was a wonderfully smooth trip.

“The racing action was fantastic and the day was helped by the summer weather!

Horse Racing Abroad’s private facility provided an ideal base to soak up the atmosphere of such an amazing racecourse.

“We also managed to back four winners, which was the icing on the cake. We are already hoping that we might return again in future years.”

ROA MEMBERS IN FOCUS:

George Cornes GEORGE CORNES was a rather appropriate member of the association to interview given the time of year, as his pride and joy is named Two Turtle Doves, a five-year-old who provided him with his first winner as an owner at Chepstow in August.

For good measure, the Michael Mullineauxtrained mare followed up over course and distance just over a week later.

Cornes recently retired, from working at Bentley Cars in Crewe, although on the day he spoke to Thoroughbred Owner & Breeder he had been through a rather traumatic counselling session with a person in debt, as he helps out at a local Citizens’ Advice Bureau.

Working through payment plans is a useful sideline for any racehorse owner to have, although Two Turtle Doves has paid her way since Cornes took the plunge to buy her in June, as apart from the two wins she has finished in the first four on four occasions from eight runs for her new owner.

“I first became interested in racehorse ownership when invited to join the Bluestone Syndicate some six years ago,” said Cornes, who back then also owned a greyhound, Dalcash Sweettea, who won many races and was third in the Laurel Cup at Belle Vue. “At the time the horse in the syndicate was Cardington Queen, trained by Michael. As a member of the syndicate, I went to Newmarket sales with Michael – that was a good experience for a future private owner.”

Roxy Spirit, owned in partnership with her breeder Peter Craven, was the first horse to carry Cornes’s colours, which are inspired by the Roscommon county flag. They were designed originally by ten-year-old Jake Craven.

However, he said: “Roxy Spirit was tried over various distances and types of races but

unfortunately the horse lost interest in a race when the other horses passed. She has been sold locally as a polo pony.”

That experience did not put off Cornes and he continued: “Since going to the sales with Michael I have always paid a weekly visit to his yard to look over and watch horses on the gallops.

“I live only 20 minutes from the yard. Michael and [his wife] Sue make you feel extremely welcome, and there is always a coffee and a piece of cake. All the owners at the yard are encouraged to be involved with the horses and there is a great team spirit at the yard.”

With Mullineaux based near Tarporley in Cheshire, Two Turtle Doves has tended to race in the Midlands and north.

“I have had a fun time travelling with her all round Britain,” said Cornes. “Doves knows her way around the M6, M5 and M40. On August Bank Holiday Monday we decided to travel south for a change and entered a five-furlong handicap at Chepstow.

“Doves enjoyed the Welsh surroundings and with Michael’s apprentice Joseph Young on board, the horse won by half a length from Colourbearer. It was an exciting finish!

“We travelled south again to Chepstow a week or so later, when Harry Bentley rode her perfectly to win by a neck – that was exciting too!”

Again with Bentley in the plate, Two Turtle Doves attempted a Chepstow hat-trick. Cornes continued: “That was our goal but after the race, in which she was fourth, she was found to be in-season.”

As an aside, Cornes is clued-up when it comes to which vegetables are in season too. “I am a national horticultural judge in vegetables and know my onions,” he added.

In Brief Epsom Awards evening The 13th Epsom Owners and Trainers Awards evening will be held at Epsom Downs Racecourse on Saturday, November 26.

The black tie awards presentation kicks off with a champagne reception and four-course dinner, and is followed by a charity auction and casino, live music and dancing until 1am.

The Supplement At The Forefront of Anti-Medicating Horses Trainers praise natural alternative By: Mark Hansen

T

he pressure to win is so enormous that many horsemen resort to whatever it takes to get a piece of the purse or a decent sale… In some parts of the world that even means putting their horses’ lives in mortal danger by injecting them with illegal synthetic erythropoietin (EPO) medication to boost endurance.

Veterinarian Gary Smith said, “It’s a problem all over the industry. There is no way horses should be put on (synthetic) EPO.” So how do racers win? How do you gain a competitive edge without harming your horses or risking your livelihood? The answer may be found in a safe all-natural horse supplement that legally supercharges natural EPO function.

Why is EPO boosting so critical? Just like in people, a horse’s muscles require oxygen for fuel. Red blood cells are the body’s oxygen-carrying cells. A higher red blood cell count = more oxygen = more muscle energy. Elevated muscle energy helps the horse perform harder, faster and longer during endurance events.

All horses naturally produce EPO in their kidneys to stimulate production of new red blood cells from bone marrow. In short, EPO is a natural “blood builder.”

Veterinarians at the Equine Research Centre in Ontario, Canada ran a double-blind trial investigating the blood building properties of the active ingredient in EPO-Equine in healthy horses. For 42 days, one group of horses was supplemented with the active ingredient in EPO-Equine and another group of horses was given a placebo. increasing red blood cell count and hemoglobin levels. Researchers also observed improved blood quality and increased oxygen transport in the supplemented horses; all leading to elevated exercise physiology and performance.

The patent-pending formula in EPO-Equine contains a dozen combined to accelerate natural red blood cell and EPO production…

The Natural Way To Run With EPO injections, trainers try to boost the EPO effect to get a winning performance every time. They use a synthetic EPO (recombinant human EPO), even though the side effects can kill the horse. That’s one reason why it’s illegal.

Fortunately there’s another option. EPO-Equine is a safe, highly effective natural dietary supplement accepted by the racehorse community.

A Kentucky trainer who refused to give out his name, said, “I don’t want my competition to know about this.” He found EPOEquine to be so effective that he’s dead set against disclosing who he is, who his horses are, or even where he trains and races. He Now he’s ordering several CASES each month. And he won’t tell BRL exactly why. He said respectfully, “Sorry – no way.”

Bioengineers at U.S. based Biomedical Research Laboratories human athletes (and it’s working miracles for top athletes and amateurs around the world). Seeing these results, horse trainers contacted BRL and asked about using this natural formula for their animals.

Research Yields Results That’s when the BRL team dug deeper and discovered a proprietary, horse-friendly strain of a common herb that delivers uncommon blood-building results. EPO-Equine is based on the EPO-boosting abilities of a certain strain of Echinacea that’s astounding researchers and trainers alike. (It’s not a strain you

Equine to the horse’s daily feeding routine in the barn or on the road. Within a few weeks of daily use, you can expect to see increased red blood cell levels with no undesirable side effects. improved muscle performance; and supercharged endurance with legal formula.

The Winning Choice Compared to the expense of veterinarians, medications, icing, tapping the knees, and putting the horse on Bute; or even the consequences of being banned for using synthetic medications EPO-Equine is very affordable at the low price of just $59.95 per jar. Or save $20 per jar if you have multiple horses or you’re ready to commit to a larger trial with a 12-jar case at just $39.95 per jar.

In order of racecourses’ percentage contributions to overall prize-money.

Figures relate to prizemoney for the 12-month period October 1, 2010 to September 30, 2011

EXPLANATION This table sets out the three main contributors to prizemoney with percentages of the total: 1 Racecourses’ executive and sponsorship; 2 Levy Board; 3 Owners.

A small additional contribution is also made by the Divided Race Fund and the BHA Development Fund.

The order is taken from the percentage in the second column of figures. This shows how much each course has contributed to prize-money, expressed as a percentage of their overall prize-money. The arrows at the end of each line are based on a comparison between the percentages for the two rolling year periods.

If a racecourse has improved its position by this criteria it receives a green ‘up’ arrow. If the year-on-year percentage has decreased it receives a red ‘down’ arrow.

Note: All of the figures are produced on an ‘as originally programmed’ basis, i.e. where any transferred fixtures were originally programmed rather than where the fixtures have actually taken place. However, any transferred BHA ‘National’ fixtures and ‘Regional’ fixtures are attributed to the courses where the fixtures have actually taken place.

ABANDONMENTS: These occasionally distort performances relating to a track’s fixtures. The year-onyear percentage comparison on which this table is based can place tracks in a worse light than they deserve.

Galileo’s brother Black Sam Bellamy with Peter Hockenhull of Shade Oak Stud

Generously supported by BBM, BEBF, DBS Ltd. and Weatherbys, the National Hunt Stallion Parade will take place on Countryside Day, November 11, at Cheltenham racecourse.

This is the perfect opportunity for members to view a number of established and firstseason NH stallions, and afterwards meet up in the TBA Stallion Parade Marquee.

There is free entry to Cheltenham for members on production of their TBA membership card. Please note new starting time of 11.45am. For further details contact Pauline Stoddart at the TBA.

TBA launches Bloodstock Taxation Guide The TBA Taxation Group, chaired by Peter Mendham, has recently completed the first edition of the Bloodstock Taxation Guide, published on behalf of the Horsemen’s Group and now available on the TBA website (www.thetba.co.uk).

The main purpose of the guide is to provide a general outline of the major direct tax and VAT issues to be considered by those working in the industry and their professional advisors.

It is not intended to provide a definitive answer to every tax query that may arise and the advice of a qualified practitioner should always be sought before acting on the information in the guide.

However, this edition includes a large number of changes from its predecessor, particularly in

88

the VAT section and, through the use of direct links to the HMRC website, the authors have created an up-to-date tool for the industry.

The guide is primarily focused on the breeding and owning of racehorses but also includes sections of specific interest to trainers and jockeys, thanks to input from the National Trainers’ Federation and the taxation advisors to the Professional Jockeys’ Association of Great Britain.

Mendham said: “I would like to recognise the support of a number of well-respected professionals and members of the Taxation Group: Terry Dockley, Philip Freedman, Chris Kennard, Penelope Lang, Robin Platt and Louise Kemble, supported by Shelley Oxford of Smith & Williamson Ltd.”

Don’t miss the unique opportunity to learn from the experts at this year’s TBA Stud Farming Course, which takes place at the British Racing School from Tuesday, 6 to Thursday, 8 December.

From reproductive management of the mare through to treatment of limb deformities via disease control, grassland management and nutrition, the course covers a wide range of topics vital for good stud farm management. It also offers delegates an excellent forum in which to exchange ideas and pick the brains of our first class speakers.

The course fee is £390, including the first night dinner and lunch across the three days. For more information contact Christine Standley on 01638 661321 or email Christine@thetba.co.uk

There was a real danger that this change in the law might come as an unwelcome shock to employers who could find themselves being obliged to performance-manage staff who were otherwise drifting towards retirement.

In truth, it seemed unlikely that the intention was to generate a rash of performance disputes about employees’ fitness to work beyond a certain age and we urged employers to wait and see what the first cases after April 6 told us.

Happily (although not English law), one of the first cases on this seems to assist employers who want to continue to justify retirement at 65 or more.

The court decided that retiring older employees to allow promotion opportunities for younger members of staff and to improve personnel management (such as staff-planning and achieving an age-balanced workforce) was good justification. So far, so much good news for employers, but watch this space for further developments.

In general, how does one broach the difficult issue of the underperforming employee?

Managing employees is a constant. It comes more naturally to some employers than others.

Best practice involves good communication and can mean broaching sensitive issues and having difficult conversations.

If you already know what any given job involves, it can be hard to put yourself in the position of someone coming to it the first time.

But induction is key in getting new employees off to a good start. How you want horses handled, ridden or even mucked out is not as self-explanatory as you imagine. Training new starters properly and reviewing performance at the end of a trial or probationary period is best practice. It is all too easy to let those review periods pass unnoticed and to stop to feedback to the employee on all matters, good or bad.

An annual appraisal process gives both employer and employee the opportunity to raise their game. The process can also be used by an employer to deal with any problems and take appropriate action to effectively manage their THOROUGHBRED OWNER & BREEDER INC PACEMAKER

workforce and as a mechanism for employees to set goals and reach their full potential.

The appraisal process also allows significant or ongoing issues of underperformance to be addressed. First this will be through informal discussions and performance improvement goals – for example, ‘no days off sick in the next month’ or ‘develop yearling handling skills over next six months’. Then, if necessary, these can be addressed through a formal performance improvement process with formal disciplinary warnings, often used on a ‘three strikes and you’re out’ basis.

That way performance is managed fairly and you will mitigate the risk of an unfair dismissal claim or an expensive exit for poor performing staff who have more than a year’s service.

New strategies for parasite control Following on from last month’s veterinary forum highlighting increasing resistance of equine parasites to current deworming products, members are encouraged to visit the TBA website, where they can access a briefing note on control of roundworms, produced by Professor Jacqui Matthews of the Moredun Institute.

Professor Matthews presented results of her TBA/HBLB funded research into

parasite resistance at the TBA Annual Seminar in June and, sponsored by the HBLB, continues to work on the development of a diagnostic test for larval small strongyles (cyathastomins or small redworms).

The briefing note outlines a responsible approach to worm control including use of faecal egg counts, management principles and selection of drugs.

BREEDER OF THE MONTH/SPECIAL MERIT Sponsored by Blue Chip Feed Ltd

Words Alan Yuill Walker

SEPTEMBER 2011

Darley

GEORGE SELWYN

A flurry of Group/Grade 1 winners on three continents emphasised the strength in depth of Sheikh Mohammed’s worldwide bloodstock interests, an achievement that has earned his Darley operation the September award. Darley wins six sacks of Blue Chip Pro, to help prepare youngstock for the sales, and some Blue Chip clothing.

Not for the first time Godolphin is currently second to Khalid Abdullah on the list of winning owners in Great Britain and Ireland, and that will be a fair reflection of their comparative standing when it comes to the breeding side of operations – but not entirely so.

Sprint Cup hero Dream Ahead does not carry the Godolphin blue, nor for that matter does Grade 1 Spinaway Stakes heroine Grace Hall.

Both were sold as yearlings at the Keeneland September Sale, the former for $11,000 in 2009 and Grace Hall for $95,000 last year.

That transatlantic double was achieved on successive days at the beginning of the month and then in the third week of September came two more winners at the highest level, but this time they were homebreds. First, Lyric Of Light achieved a great September double when adding the Fillies’ Mile to her May Hill Stakes success to prove an outstanding prospect for next season, and then that old favourite Dream Ahead has subsequently added the Prix de la Foret to his July Cup and Sprint Cup victories in a glorious 2011 season

Campanologist won the Preis von Europa.

More honour and glory was accrued on the last day of September, when Sheikh Mohammed’s own colours were carried to victory in the Group 1 Manikato Stakes at Moonee Valley by his Australian homebred Sepoy.

That victory in Australia coincided with a not altogether unrelated event when Cape Dutch won a maiden hurdle at Hexham. The Cape Cross gelding proved to be the very first winner under rules trained by his owner John Ferguson, Sheikh Mohammed’s bloodstock advisor who operates a yard from Cowlinge outside Newmarket.

Fascinatingly, Cape Dutch is a great grandson of Triple Crown heroine Oh So Sharp who was in utero when Sheikh Mohammed purchased Dalham Hall Stud, now Darley’s headquarters, in the autumn of 1981. Oh So Sharp’s dam, Oh So Fair (carrying to Kris), was one of ten original Dalham mares acquired by Sheikh Mohammed all those years ago.

Last year the half-brothers Samuel and Duncan won the Doncaster Cup and the Prix Foy respectively. On this occasion the latter provided his owner/breeder with a sensational victory in the Irish St Leger when he shared the spoils with Jukebox Jury.

To gain one’s first Group 1 in a dead-heat must be a heartstopping experience and admirable compensation to Normandie Stud for selling last season’s Phoenix Stakes hero Zoffany in utero.

w w w. t h e t b a . c o . u k is conscious that her loyal team of colleagues thrive on it. When it comes to encapsulating the depth of her feelings concerning her breeding operation, she turns to quotes from Shakespeare and Nietzche: “When sorrows come, they come not single spies but battalions” and “He who has a why to live can bear almost any how”.

Such sentiments are doubtless echoed by many of her fellow breeders.

Over the years, Cooper has learnt that there is tremendous heartache to be encountered in the breeding of horses, far more than she had ever encountered in her days as a school teacher. Many times she has questioned the sense of what she is doing.

“Depression runs in my family and setbacks are not welcomed and actively avoided,” she confided. “But I’ve also been blessed with a great inner strength that can make me whole again. Without suffering there is no meaning to life and one has to find meaning in suffering.”

Thus, Dolores (dam of Samuel and Duncan) is the essence of Normandie Stud. She has bred three black-type horses and then lost two lovely filly foals. She could easily have been retired after that, and so nearly was, and it was only after much persuasion from her team that they tried again with her four years later.

The mares are normally foaled down at the stud, but Cooper decided to send them to Ireland for a change. In February, Dolores delivered a filly foal by Sea The Stars, named Stella Bellissima.

The team at Normandie Stud takes nothing for granted and that is why Duncan was retired after his Curragh victory.

“Losing Eulogy, so soon after winning the Whitbread Gold Cup, was unbearably cruel,” said Cooper. “I wanted Duncan to have the wonderful retirement at Normandie which he was robbed of.”

One can only hope that Duncan will live out a long and happy life alongside Samuel, with perhaps some more of their siblings.

Duncan became the first Group 1 winner for Normandie Stud

Club building on solid foundations T

he Next Generation Club was born two years ago but the last few months have seen it come of age. The recent announcement of Gold Cup-winning Jockey Sam Waley-Cohen becoming Club President has helped boost membership and a launch party is expected to raise awareness among both the industry and wider audience of racing enthusiasts.

Tireless in its aim of ‘securing bloodstock’s future’, the NGC has recruited more than 500 young members with the aim of nurturing their interest in racing and breeding. Events enjoyed by members over the last few months have included tours of the yards of Jeremy Noseda and David Simcock, the National Stud and the Tattersalls October Yearling Sales, in addition to perks such as ticket offers for Lingfield and Newbury’s Hennessy meeting.

While many of the members were originally recruited through contacts of our ten-strong committee, the focus has recently shifted to targeted campaigns of specific

Graduate placement: Amy Clapham

Q&A: Sam Waley-Cohen, NGC President What was it that first attracted you to horseracing?

Ever since riding a rocking horse, everything has been a race. I evented with the GB pony team, showjumped with Ted Edgar, and hunted, but it was all in anticipation of being old enough to race.

How do you juggle life as a jockey and CEO of Portman Healthcare?

It can be hard at times, trying to juggle everything. Being my own boss means that I can work some unconventional hours! You have to be really organised, flexible and prioritise.

What do you think is racing’s main hook for new people?

It is a great day out with friends with the thrill of the race and betting. Also, you have the opportunity to get up close with the horses, trainers and jockeys, like in no other sport.

What’s your daily routine like at this time of year?

There is no set routine and it can be pretty full-on. I get up early to ride or exercise and then spend the days at one of our dental practices or meetings in London. I try to fit everything in around each other so if I have a meeting in the City I’ll change in their loo and run home!

Has your success encouraged more people to become fans of the sport?

Long Run has had a great following with so much support and he really captured people’s imaginations. I think success made people realise that with a great horse and a bit of luck anything is possible.

92

Has your life changed since winning the Gold Cup? There is a lot more press interest but the great thing about racing is that it keeps your feet

firmly on the ground. One minute you are winning and the next minute you are falling, so it just makes you appreciate the successes.

Once you’ve won once it makes you more determined to do it again.

Do you feel the pressure with the increased interest from the press?

Every time you ride, a huge amount of effort has gone into getting the horse onto the course, so there is pressure to be the best you and the horse can be. The added interest means you are under greater scrutiny, so you have to make sure that you are doubly prepared.

If you could win one race this year what would it be?

It would be fantastic for Long Run to establish himself as one of the greats by winning backto-back Gold Cups. We come from an amateur background and so I would absolutely love to THOROUGHBRED OWNER & BREEDER INC PACEMAKER

analysis and mating plans.

She said: “I really hope to work within the bloodstock industry in some capacity, so working at Tweenhills and Newsells has given me a great chance to learn more and most importantly meet some great people.

“I have really enjoyed working at the sales in particular and although I have a lot more to learn I have picked up some great tips on assessing conformation and pedigrees.”

Now keen to pursue a job within the industry, Amy has benefited from the help

and direction of committee member Kevin Sommerville, who, after setting up the placement has continued to act as a mentor.

“Kevin has been great at giving me advice and I have even been chatting to him about potential jobs and getting his thoughts on what direction I should take,” said Amy. The placement, which it is hoped will become a permanent fixture of the BHA Graduate Programme, is just one of the steps the NGC hopes will help to ensure the future health of the racing and breeding industries.

Student diary STEPHEN HEATH Darley Flying Start

When signing up for Darley Flying Start a decent amount of challenge is anticipated.

However I was wholly unprepared for the very first challenge that awaited us during our ten weeks here in Ireland.

Our initial task was a charity ‘Jog for Jockeys’ around Naas racecourse, which gave us all an even greater respect for the three-mile chasers of the world, and we can certainly all attest to just how much the stiff uphill finish at Naas can take out of tired legs. My finishing position was a dismal 157th of 234 in a time of 33:14, well behind the ‘Flying Frenchman’ Sebastien Desmontils, who was the first trainee home in 19th.

As a group we are much fonder of watching the more traditional pursuit of four-legged athletes competing on racecourses and in that respect we have been lucky. We have seen So You Think and Snow Fairy battling it out for the Irish Champion Stakes at Leopardstown and future stars such as Maybe winning the Moyglare Stud Stakes and Born To Sea producing a fine start to his career to win a Listed race on his debut.

One of the main highlights, however, has been seeing the sport at a level far removed from these luminaries – racing on the beach at Laytown. Plenty of things in life can be described as a unique experience, yet racing at Laytown can truly lay claim to being a genuine curiosity, embodying the community spirit that so exemplifies Irish racing.

Other future stars were definitely seen

as we each assisted a bloodstock agent at the Goffs Orby yearling sale. I helped John Warren as he selected some of the elite offerings of the sale.

The time at Goffs was a most valuable insight into how top agents select yearlings for purchase and it helped me to understand the process of vetting a horse, and what happens once the hammer has fallen in your favour. Both the weather and trade held up fairly well over the week, and it certainly whetted the appetite for the future sales we will be attending while on the course.

Starting times for the sales were early and the days long, though that had nothing on the 3.30am start we had in order to get to Paris for the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe.

Our French colleague, Sebastien, has ridden as an amateur rider in his homeland, so he was the natural choice to act as guide for the weekend. He made sure that we knew all the best viewing points (and champagne bars) to get the best of the racing and, while the result of the big race had plenty of us scurrying for our racecards to identify impressive winner Danedream, it was an amazing occasion held in unseasonably scorching conditions.

It seems like we have been here in Ireland for only a very short time, but we have just four weeks left here before transfering to Newmarket, where we are looking forward to our training at the British Racing School.

VET FORUM: THE EXPERT VIEW

By JAMES TATE BVMS MRCVS

Exotic diseases: a growing threat Europe has seen a worrying increase, with the UK and Ireland affected in the past two years, and diseases such as Dourine, Glanders and Swamp Fever on the march

D

ue to a combination of increased travel and global warming, more and more ‘exotic’ infectious diseases are being seen in Europe. Outbreaks of Dourine in Italy this summer, ‘Swamp Fever’ in England last year and the tick-borne Piroplasmosis in Ireland in 2009, combined with the massive bluetongue outbreak in cattle and sheep in Europe, highlight this risk. Measures must be taken to combat this growing threat.

Dourine Dourine, also known as ‘maladie du coit’ or ‘genital glanders’, is caused by the protozoan parasite, Trypanosoma equiperdum and is a serious, predominantly sexually-transmitted disease. Dourine was once widespread throughout the world but was subsequently eradicated from most of Europe, including the UK. However, in June this year an outbreak of the disease was reported in Italy.

Retrospective testing of blood samples that had been stored in laboratories from 2010 revealed that horses from many regions of Italy had in fact come into contact with the disease (had produced antibodies), suggesting that Dourine in Italy is longer standing and more widespread than previously thought.

Although not proven, it is thought that the disease may have reached Italy via the transport of low-value Eastern European horses, as Dourine is widespread in Russia.

The most common signs of Dourine are swollen discharging genitalia, ‘silver dollar’ skin plaques, conjunctivitis, severe weight loss and neurological signs such as weakness, incoordination and eventually paralysis. The severity of the disease varies with the strain of the parasite, the nutritional status of the horse and stress factors, but the mortality rate is believed to be in excess of 50%.

There is no vaccine available for Dourine and therefore prevention of natural mating or artificial insemination with infected semen is the most important means of control.

THOROUGHBRED OWNER & BREEDER INC PACEMAKER

Diagnosis of the disease is done by means of a blood test for the presence of antibodies to the parasite (complement fixation test), which is more reliable than testing for the presence of the parasite itself. In light of the outbreak in Italy this year, it is proposed that the 2012 Horserace Betting Levy Board Codes of Practice (HBLB) will include a new code for this disease.

Dourine is notifiable by law to DEFRA under the Infectious Diseases of Horses Order, 1987. As there is currently no proven effective long term cure for Dourine (treatment with quinapyramine sulphate can alleviate the signs of the disease but treated horses remain infectious), any horse testing positive will require euthanasia.

Glanders Although the ‘Glanders outbreak’ in Switzerland announced this summer turned

out to be a ‘false alarm’, it remains a credible threat to the UK. Glanders was widespread in the UK in the 19th century before it was finally eradicated in 1928.

It still survives in parts of Eastern Europe, Asia and North Africa, and hence remains notifiable by law in the UK. The disease is believed to be widespread in Russia and Syria, and so importation of low-value horses and ponies from Eastern Europe and Middle Eastern countries must be considered a risk (the suspected Swiss horses had been imported from Lebanon).

Glanders is a serious disease caused by the bacteria Burkholderia mallei, which results in respiratory and skin problems in horses, although it can also affect other animals including sheep, goats and dogs, and it can be life-threatening for humans. As a result, veterinary surgeons have to take significant safety precautions when dealing with this

disease. The bacteria can cause two forms of the same disease – ‘Glanders’, which results in lung disease and ulceration in the upper respiratory tract; and ‘Farcy’, which causes round lesions found just under the skin which then become ulcerated.

Horses are usually infected by eating or coming into contact with contaminated food, water, troughs or tack. Affected individuals are ill for months before either dying or becoming carriers of the disease. As a result, the only way the disease can be eradicated is by euthanasia of infected horses once the diagnosis has been confirmed, usually by a blood test.

Equine Infectious Anaemia or ‘Swamp Fever’ Equine Infectious Anaemia (EIA) is an exotic disease with which many readers will be familiar as it is routinely tested for when horses are travelling into or out of the UK by a blood test known as a ‘Coggins’ test (named after its developer). The disease is caused by a Retrovirus which affects horses, mules and donkeys, and is usually transmitted via biting insects, although it can also be spread by the use of contaminated instruments or needles, by the administration of infected blood products, or via the placenta from an infected mare to her foal.

EIA is another notifiable disease and horses are most likely to become infected when travelling abroad. It is a very severe disease which causes fever, anaemia, bloody diarrhoea, incoordination, weight loss and usually death. Affected animals remain infectious for life and hence euthanasia is performed to prevent spread of the disease.

The UK had not seen a confirmed outbreak of EIA since 1976 until the disease was detected in two horses in Wiltshire on January 19, 2010, following importation from Romania via Belgium. As EIA is transmitted by biting flies, this was never likely to develop into a large outbreak given the time of year.

However, there is a fear that due to global warming the most important ‘exotic’ diseases, like EIA, could become more of a problem in the UK, particularly in the summer months, because the ‘exotic’ insects that transmit these diseases are becoming more commonly found in Europe. Furthermore, the EIA outbreaks that occurred in Germany, Italy, Switzerland, Hungary, Romania and Croatia during June and July this year serve to warn us of this growing threat.

Piroplasmosis is transmitted by ticks that are usually found only in Africa, the Middle East, Asia, Central and South America, and the Mediterranean

infected animals. The severity of the disease is variable but it can be fatal in some cases.

Treatment with anti-parasitic drugs such as imidocarb is used, but some horses can remain infectious. There is currently no vaccine available.

Given that the disease is usually found in tropical and subtropical countries where ticks are common, such as Africa, the Middle East, Asia, Central and South America, and the Mediterranean, it was surprising when there was a confirmed outbreak of the disease in Ireland in September 2009. Fortunately, the disease did not spread. There was a suggestion that it may have been brought into

the country via contaminated equipment, for example, needles and syringes.

African Horse Sickness African Horse Sickness (AHS) is caused by a virus that is transmitted by midges and it affects horses much more severely than mules, donkeys or zebra. There are nine different strains of the AHS virus and the severity of the disease varies between each strain, but there are generally four forms of the disease: pulmonary, cardiac, mild fever and mixed. Affected horses generally recover from the mild fever form but the other forms of the disease are often fatal. Currently, no

single AHS vaccine protects against all strains, although research into producing a multivalent vaccine is being actively pursued by a multinational pharmaceutical company.

AHS is still common in certain regions of the world, for example South Africa, where there was another outbreak in May this year.

It has never occurred in the UK and the last outbreaks of AHS in Europe were in Spain between 1987 and 1990, possibly due to the importation of infected zebra from Africa.

Whilst the likelihood of the introduction of AHS virus to the UK via the legal importation of horses is considered to be very low, the outbreak of other similar midge-borne viral diseases such as ‘Bluetongue’ in farm animals in recent years has shown the potential for the spread of such diseases. Research into the spread of Bluetongue from infected European cattle and sheep to the susceptible East Anglian population has shown how a ‘cloud’ of infected midges was blown by the wind across the English Channel. As a result, AHS is considered a credible threat and new legislation is being put in place for the control of AHS in the UK, should it arrive.

West Nile Virus West Nile Virus (WNV) is a notifiable, emerging ‘tropical’ disease that affects birds, horses and humans, and is spread by mosquitoes. The infection causes lifethreatening encephalitis or meningitis in humans and horses. The disease historically occurs in Africa, Europe, the Middle East and Asia but a major outbreak started in the east coast of the USA in 1999 and progressed to the west coast along the flight paths of migrating birds. It was subsequently controlled by the use of a new vaccine.

Nevertheless, at the time of writing, there have been 12 cases of WNV in eight states of the USA so far this year.

There have been discreet outbreaks of WNV in Italy in 1998 and France in 2000 but the disease has never been found in horses in the UK, principally because the disease requires specific mosquitoes to spread it – something that could change if global warming continues.

A vaccine has now been licensed for use in Europe and might be considered by owners of UK horses going to compete or be mated

in countries where WNV is common.

However, no vaccine is 100 per cent effective.

Conclusion In summary, due to a combination of the increased international transportation of horses and global warming, the UK faces a growing risk from a number of serious infectious equine exotic diseases, the most important of which have been outlined above.

As a result, measures are being taken to try to ensure the UK remains free from these diseases. Such measures include good biosecurity, targeted sampling of horses that travel into and out of the UK, prompt notification of the relevant authorities in the event of a suspected disease outbreak and trying to cut down on the illegal transportation of horses across Europe.

If the reader requires more information about any of these diseases, then the best places to look are the DEFRA website, the HBLB Codes of Practice or, alternatively, consult your veterinary surgeon.

CAULFIELD FILES ANDREW CAULFIELD REPORTS ON THE BLOODSTOCK WORLD

Mixed blessings of close inbreeding Danedream’s relative and fellow Arc winner Coronation, who was inbred 2x2 to Tourbillon, was a top-class performer on the racecourse but compiled a poor record in the paddocks

“The parallels between Danedream and Coronation include the astonishment at the ease of their vctories” However, it is another of Saana’s daughters which interests me here. This was Marcel Boussac’s famous mare Esmeralda, by Tourbillon. Esmeralda is a reminder of the days when top-class racehorses often shone over sprint distances at two before progressing to much longer trips as mature performers. Esmeralda’s juvenile season consisted of three wins from three races, starting with a record-breaking victory in the Prix Morny over five furlongs. She followed THOROUGHBRED OWNER & BREEDER INC PACEMAKER

lthough it cost only €9,000 to buy Danedream when the daughter of Lomitas appeared at Baden-Baden’s breeze-up sale in 2010, it isn’t difficult to argue that this stunning winner of the Arc has a female line worthy of an Arc winner.

If you trace her female line back eight generations, you come to a mare called Saana. The daughter of Asterus, born in 1931, was good enough to win the Prix de la Salamandre and finish third in the Prix de la Foret, but she did even better as a broodmare. It is her Mahmoud filly Geranium who ranks as Danedream’s seventh dam, and there are also some very good racemares in the intervening generations.

For example, Danedream’s sixth dam, the Pharis mare Monrovia, won both the Prix de Royaumont and Prix de Royallieu, while her fifth dam, the Djebel mare Damasi, was runner-up in the Prix de Pomone. Then there’s Danedream’s third dam Lady Berry, who won the 1973 Prix Royal-Oak to improve her record for the year to five wins from six starts. Lady Berry then took part in a very good edition of the Arc, finishing fifth of 27 behind Rheingold, Allez France, Hard To Beat and Card King.

Danedream is the second Arc-winning filly to trace back to Saana, her eighth dam

up with wins in the Prix La Rochette and Prix de la Foret. In taking the Poule d’Essai des Pouliches, Esmeralda improved her unbeaten run to five and she was considered unlucky to lose the Prix de Diane. That was the first of a string of defeats which Esmeralda suffered at three and four, but she recovered her form well enough towards the end of 1943 to finish second in the Arc, a race in which she also finished fourth in 1944 while acting as a pacemaker for Boussac’s Prix du Jockey-Club winner Ardan.

Esmeralda started her broodmare career in 1945. Perhaps because of the constraints of those difficult times, Esmeralda visited Boussac’s 1942 Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe winner Djebel, even though Djebel shared the same sire, Tourbillon, as Esmeralda. It is worth adding that Tourbillon’s sire Ksar was inbred 3 x 2 to Omnium II, so the inbreeding to Tourbillon involved a horse who was himself closely inbred.

The mating produced a filly, Coronation, who wasted little time in displaying the family’s talent. Even though both her parents had performed well in the Arc, Coronation was fast enough to win the Queen Mary Stakes and Prix Robert Papin. Coronation

also won the Poule d’Essai des Pouliches but didn’t look exceptional until she joined 27 others in the line-up for the newly revamped Arc in 1949. She quickened in dazzling style with 300 metres left to run and drew away to win by a distance officially estimated as four lengths but considered by many to be more like six. The parallels between Danedream and Coronation include the general astonishment which greeted the ease of their victories.

Let’s hope that the parallels end there.

Coronation failed to win a top race at four, though she was a head second to Tantieme in the Queen Elizabeth Stakes at Ascot.

Worse was to follow. The incestuously-bred mare was barren in each of the ten years she was covered. Three of her matings were with Auriban, which would have produced foals inbred 3 x 3 x 3 to Tourbillon.

Inbreeding can work well While 2 x 2 inbreeding appeared to scupper Coronation’s prospects as a broodmare, there are plenty of examples of successful broodmares which are inbred 2 x 3 or 3 x 2.

Juddmonte enjoyed plenty of success with the sisters Viviana and Willstar, who had

CAULFIELD FILES Nureyev as their sire and a mare by Nijinsky as their dam, to create 2 x 3 to Northern Dancer. Viviana produced Sightseek, a seventime Grade 1 winner who earned nearly $2.5 million, and Tates Creek, a dual Grade 1 winner whose earnings fell just short of $1.5m. Willstar, for her part, produced the Prix de la Foret winner Etoile Montante.

Sadima, another mare inbred 2 x 3 to Northern Dancer, has excelled as a broodmare, producing two colts of international calibre in Youmzain and Creachadoir, plus a Group 3-winning daughter in Shreyas. Yet another example of a good broodmare inbred 2 x 3 to Northern Dancer was the French-bred Smala.

The daughter of Antheus produced Chichicastenango, who proved himself much superior to his sire Smadoun by winning the Prix Lupin and Grand Prix de Paris. Majestic Roi, winner of the 2007 Sun Chariot Stakes, is another out of a mare inbred 2 x 3 to Northern Dancer.

Significantly, none of the mares mentioned here won anything better than a Listed race, so it is tempting to credit their close inbreeding with their success as broodmares.

But before anyone concludes that close inbreeding is an easy route to success, they must remember that unwanted traits can be entrenched just as easily as virtues. There is the added concern in an industry with a shrinking gene pool that future prospects could become compromised for any mare closely inbred to a major influence.

Pairing Sadler’s Wells with his three-partsbrother Nureyev has proved a popular means of inbreeding to Northern Dancer. There are even three Group winners by sons of Sadler’s Wells out of daughters of Nureyev, including two by Galileo. That excellent Galileo colt Rip Van Winkle became the first Group 1 winner sired by a son of Sadler’s Wells from a grand-daughter of Nureyev and now he has been followed by High Chaparral’s muchtravelled son Wigmore Hall. Having enjoyed little luck when fourth to Cape Blanco in the Arlington Million, the four-year-old gelding gained well-deserved compensation when he took the valuable Northern Dancer Turf Stakes at Woodbine.

Sadler’s Wells mares have also enjoyed plenty of success when mated with stallions with Nureyev blood, a prime example being Pivotal’s excellent daughter Immortal Verse.

Of course, many breeders have opted to combine Nureyev and Sadler’s Wells by means of Kingmambo and his sons, as we were reminded when Campanologist – one of six top-flight winners sired by Kingmambo from daughters of Sadler’s Wells – returned to form in the Preis von Europa.

Rock solid despite Japan stint I have never been a great fan of Coolmore’s occasional policy of leasing stallions to Japan for a season. While it can provide an immediate solution for a stallion who might be suffering a temporary downturn in popularity, I have always felt that the loss of a crop is likely to create greater problems further down the line.

However, I have to admit that Rock Of Gibraltar seems to have suffered no harm from being leased to Japan for the 2007 northern hemisphere season.

The lease came about while Rock Of Gibraltar’s first crop of two-year-olds was racing in 2006. Following his remarkable exploits on the track, which featured seven consecutive Group 1 victories (the first two as a juvenile), Rock Of Gibraltar had been easily the highest-priced new stallion of 2003, at €90,000.

The announcement that Rock Of Gibraltar had been leased to Japan came on October 24. At that point he had been represented by only one Group winner, the Beresford Stakes winner Eagle Mountain, but he enjoyed his first Group 1 success as a sire within days of the announcement, when Mount Nelson took the Criterium International.

Even so, Rock Of Gibraltar ranked only fifth among the first-crop sires on the domestic table, which was less than everyone had hoped for.

It was a very different story by the time Rock Of Gibraltar returned to Ireland. He ranked as high as seventh on the 2007 leading sires’ list, thanks to Group successes by Eagle Mountain, Yellowstone, Kitty Matcham, Theann and Unilateral on the home front, with others by Utrecht and High Rock in France. There was also a strong support team of Listed winners in Europe and US stakes winners.

With his fee set at a more reasonable €35,000, there was plenty of demand for Rock Of Gibraltar’s services in 2008 and he covered 196 mares.

Consequently he has a strong team of 2011 juveniles, including Coral Wave (Group 3 C L Weld Park Stakes), Rockinante (Group 3 Autumn Stakes), Samitar (the Group 3 Albany Stakes winner who gained compensation for her narrow defeat in the Fillies’ Mile by winning a valuable sales race) and So Fast (winner of the Group 3 Prix La Rochette and a fast-finishing second in the Group 1 Prix Jean-Luc Lagardere).

In addition to these juveniles, Rock Of Gibraltar has demonstrated his versatility with a team of four-year-olds which include the Group 1 Golden Jubilee winner Society Rock and the Group 2 Prix de Royallieu heroine Sea Of Heartbreak.

This crop also contains the disqualified 1,000 Guineas ‘winner’ Jacqueline Quest.

Breeders have understandably thought of Dalakhani as an automatic choice for daughters of Sadler’s Wells, but the Gilltown stallion also deserves serious consideration as an option for Danehill mares. His first 12 foals out of Danehill’s daughters include Duncan, who was retired following his dead-heat in the Irish St Leger, and Shemiyla, winner of the Gr3 Prix Allez France.

Duncan’s dam Dolores started at 66-1 for the 2002 1,000 Guineas, on only her second start. Dolores defied her inexperience to finish a fine fourth, a length behind Kazzia. The Normandie Stud homebred later ran well to be third in the Coronation Stakes and second in the Sun Chariot, and became a stakes winner in the Conqueror Stakes. .

Now Dolores is doing very well as a broodmare. Her first foal, the Sakhee gelding Samuel, justified his breeders’ patience by winning the Gr2 Doncaster Cup in 2010, just two days before her second foal, Duncan, defeated Nakayama Festa in the Gr2 Prix Foy. Dolores’s fourth foal, the Dubawi filly Deirdre, was third to Snow Fairy in the Height of Fashion Stakes.

Unfortunately, Dolores’s 2008 Pivotal filly died and she then produced a dead foal to Halling in 2009 before being barren to Dubawi, but she produced a filly by Sea The Stars in 2011.

As Dolores’s Group-winning sons both stayed much better than their dam, one would expect to find some staying elements in Dolores’s pedigree. Duncan’s second dam, the Belgian winner Agnus, is by In The Wings, whose stamina index stands at 11.8 furlongs, and Agnus is inbred 4 x 3 to Mill Reef, whose index stood at 11 furlongs.

However, this isn’t a staminapacked family. Duncan’s fifth dam is Triple First, a high-class ten-furlong performer, and his fourth dam, Triple Reef, is the second dam of the Derby third Carlton House.

Although Montjeu has few equals when it comes to siring top performers over a mile and a half or more, that doesn’t mean that his progeny lack precocity. Like his sire Sadler’s Wells before him, Montjeu was unbeaten in two juvenile starts. Montjeu’s first two Epsom Derby winners, Motivator and Authorized, were Gr1 winners at two and his third winner, Pour Moi, also scored as a juvenile. His three Irish Derby winners all won at two, including Fame And Glory, who won the Gr1 Criterium de Saint-Cloud.

Jukebox Jury also embodies the finest qualities of Montjeu’s progeny.

Sufficiently forward to race six times at two, he defeated the very smart Cityscape in the Gr2 Royal Lodge Stakes prior to finishing second in the Racing Post Trophy. Jukebox Jury went on to add three more Group wins at three, including the Gr1 Preis von

Europa, and his game dead-heat with Duncan in the Irish St Leger takes the five-year-old’s total of Group victories to seven.

One of the interesting aspects of Jukebox Jury’s pedigree is that his dam Mare Aux Fees is by Kenmare, a grandson of the versatile Zeddaan.

Fast enough to win the Prix Robert Papin at two, Zeddaan went on to land the French 2,000 Guineas and the Prix d’Ispahan, to earn attempts at ten and 11 furlongs. One of Zeddaan’s daughters, Adele Toumignon, ranks as the third dam of Montjeu. Montjeu’s family also produced Dadarissime, a very smart stayer inbred 4 x 3 to Zeddaan, and this may have encouraged breeders to send mares with Zeddaan blood to Montjeu. So far Montjeu has ten stakes winners with two lines of Zeddaan in the first five generations and among them are the St Leger winner Scorpion, the Gr1winning brothers Recital and Corre Caminos, and Jukebox Jury.

Jukebox Jury’s dam Mare Aux Fees had two grey parents and so did her grandsire Kalamoun and her greatgrandsire Zeddaan. Mare Aux Fees’s second dam Skelda, a very smart winner in France, was another grey.

Skelda produced the Grand Prix de Paris winner Soleil Noir and her daughter Feerie Boreale, the second dam of Jukebox Jury, was third in the Prix Marcel Boussac.

Mare Aux Fees has already produced five stakes winners, plus a useful three-year-old in Hurricane Higgins, by Montjeu’s son Hurricane Run. 286 NATIONAL S G1 CURRAGH. September 10. 2yo. 7f.

Michael Tabor and Susan Magnier have every reason to be grateful to Hascombe and Valiant Studs’ broodmare Glatisant, who provided them with Footstepsinthesand, their unbeaten 2,000 Guineas winner of 2005. Six years later Glatisant has cropped up again as the second dam of another of the Tabor/Magnier Gr1 winners, namely the National Stakes winner Power (who also numbers Derrick Smith among his owners).

Power’s National Stakes win was his fourth in five starts, his only reverse being his neck defeat in the Phoenix Stakes.

As Hascombe and Valiant Studs bred Green Desert’s Classic-winning daughter Rose Gypsy, it is easy to see why they would want to patronise Green Desert’s champion son Oasis Dream. Glatisant’s daughter Frappe, a winner over six furlongs on her twoyear-old debut, visited Oasis Dream in 2008 to produce Power. Aidan O’Brien described Power as a big, powerful, strong horse after the colt’s Coventry Stakes success, but it would have been no surprise had Power been on the small side. His grandsires Green Desert and Inchinor respectively stood 15.2 and 15.1 hands..

Glatisant won both her starts at two, including the Gr3 Prestige Stakes, before a largely fruitless second season, during which she showed signs of temperament. Her sire Rainbow Quest also sired the dam of Oasis Dream’s Prix du Moulin winner Aqlaam. Power’s third dam, the Green Dancer mare Dancing Rocks, was a rather nervous type according to Timeform. Even so, she showed consistently smart form and won the Nassau Stakes.

Three of Dancing Rocks’s daughters have produced Group winners, the others being Council Rock, dam of the very speedy juvenile filly Superstar Leo, and Glatisant’s sister Rainbow Goddess, dam of the St Leger runner-up Mahler.

Power’s fourth dam, the Premio Lydia Tesio winner Croda Rossa, was a half-sister to Cerreto, winner of the Derby Italiano.

Montjeu has had three-year-old runners for only seven years, but during that comparatively brief time the champion middle-distance performer has been represented by five English Classic winners in the Derby heroes Motivator, Authorized and Pour Moi, and the St Leger winners Scorpion and Masked Marvel.

Masked Marvel’s record-breaking win means that Montjeu ranks third among the most prolific sires of British Classic winners during this decade,

108

just two behind his sire Sadler’s Wells.

Montjeu has also sired the Irish Derby winners Hurricane Run, Frozen Fire and Fame And Glory, and his sons Scorpion and Montmartre won the Grand Prix de Paris, arguably France’s true equivalent of the Derby. As the Irish and French equivalents to the St Leger are open to older horses, they can no longer be considered Classics, but Montjeu’s daughter Montare took the 2006 Prix Royal-Oak and his son Jukebox Jury dead-heated in this year’s Irish St Leger. He also has two AJC Australian Derby winners, Nom du Jeu and Roman Emperor, among his New Zealand foals.

Although Montjeu is clearly an outstanding Classic influence, he can’t take all the credit, as Masked Marvel is the second 2011 Classic winner from his female line. Masked Marvel’s dam Waldmark is a half-sister to Waldpark, winner of the Deutsches Derby. A mile proved to be Waldmark’s best trip and she was an unlucky loser of the Gr2 Falmouth Stakes. Masked Marvel’s second dam Wurftaube won the Gr2 Deutsches St Leger, a race in which one of her sons, Waldvogel, later finished third. Waldmark’s sister Waldbeere produced Wiesenpfad, a six-time Gr3 winner at up to a mile and a quarter.

Masked Marvel’s broodmare sire, Mark Of Esteem, made his name as a top-class miler, despite being by Darshaan. Montjeu’s four Group winners out of Darshaan mares include Pour Moi and the smart stayers Blue Bajan and Honolulu.

In much the same way that Coolmore secured Canford Cliffs’s future stud services when he was three, the Irish giant has stepped in to add Excelebration to its future stallion roster. Perhaps part of Excelebration’s appeal is that he should be a popular shuttle stallion, as a son of the champion Australian sprinter Exceed And Excel.

Although two of Excelebration’s finest displays were on the continent – when he won the German 2,000 Guineas and Prix du Moulin – his victory in the Hungerford Stakes and his placed efforts behind Frankel have helped boost Exceed And Excel to eighth place on the leading sires’ list, with Margot Did, Masamah, Best Terms and Nideeb among the other main contributors.

Excelebration’s second dam Miss Kemble was culled by Juddmonte for 27,000gns after she had finished well beaten on her only start. The daughter of Warning was a half-sister to the high-class middle-distance performers Princess Pati (Irish Oaks) and Seymour Hicks (Great Voltigeur Stakes). Their dam Sarah Siddons had also been a top performer, winning the Irish 1,000 Guineas and Yorkshire Oaks, and Sarah Siddons in turn was a daughter of Mariel, winner of the Pretty Polly Stakes after finishing second in the Irish 1,000 Guineas.

Mariel was herself out of a smart half-sister to the brilliant Ragusa, so it is hardly surprising that this fine family continues to produce very good winners. One of the best was Leggera, winner of the Prix Vermeille and second in the Arc. Leggera’s second dam Gertrude Lawrence was a halfsister to Princess Pati.

Indian Ridge, the sire of Excelebration’s dam Sun Shower, is the broodmare sire of another 2011 Gr1 winner by a son of Danehill, namely the Oaks and German Oaks winner Dancing Rain. Falmouth Stakes scorer Nahoodh is another Gr1winning representative of this cross.

The vagaries of bloodstock breeding could hardly be better illustrated than

by Gold Splash and her year-younger sister Born Gold. Whereas Gold Splash was talented enough to win the Prix Marcel Boussac and the Coronation Stakes, Born Gold struggled to win. Indeed, Born Gold had to travel to Jallais in the French Provinces to finally get her head in front at the sixth attempt, in the hands of an amateur jockey.

It was only fair to expect Gold Splash to outshine her sister as a broodmare. However, despite producing foals by such as Danzig (two colts), Storm Cat (two colts) and Deputy Minister (two fillies), Gold Splash wasn’t represented by a stakes winner until 18 years after her birth, when her Royal Academy colt Royal God won a Listed race at Toulouse.

Born Gold, on the other hand, has produced Group winners to four different stallions. Although she will no doubt always be best known as the dam of the extraordinary Goldikova, she also has another very good daughter to her credit in the progressive Galikova, winner of the Prix Vermeille. Born Gold has therefore proved a worthy successor to her second dam Gold River. This outstanding daughter of Riverman won the Arc and Prix du Cadran but was struck by lightning as a nine-yearold, having produced only four foals.

Three of the four became stakes winners, the most successful of them being Galikova’s second dam Riviere d’Or, winner of the Gr1 Prix SaintAlary prior to finishing second in the Prix de Diane.

Galikova’s Vermeille victory means that she has emulated her third, fourth and fifth dam by becoming a Gr1 winner. These fillies raced for the Wertheimers and were all trained by members of the Head family.

In 2007 Street Cry hit the Group/Graded-race target time after time, thanks to Street Sense, Majestic Roi, Cry And Catch Me, Street Sounds, Summer Doldrums, Street Magician, Per Incanto and Globetrotter. This avalanche of good winners from his first two crops resulted in Street Cry’s fee doubling from $50,000 to $100,000 in 2008 and it was therefore fair to have high expectations of his 2011 juveniles. He hasn’t disappointed. His British-trained juveniles include Lyric Of Light, Discourse, Fencing, Anjaz, Falls Of Lora, Mighty Ambition, Minidress, Leqqaa and Gathering, which adds up to a very promising team. There are also some talented Street Cry juveniles in the United States, Ireland and France.

Lyric Of Light became the first to score at Gr1 level when she took the Fillies’ Mile. Her dam Suez had also been an accomplished two-year-old for the late Michael Jarvis, winning her first two starts, including a Listed race, before being caught close home by Magical Romance in the Cheveley Park Stakes. This daughter of Green Desert was then transferred to Godolphin but wasn’t seen again.

As might be guessed from her yearling price of 480,000gns, Suez had an excellent pedigree. Her dam Repeat Warning had the distinction of being a daughter of Meon Valley’s brilliant broodmare Reprocolor. With Warning as her sire, Repeat Warning was a three-parts-sister to the German and American Gr2 winner Torch Rouge (by Warning out of Reprocolor’s daughter Sistabelle) and to the Racing Post Trophy second Mudeer (by Warning out of Reprocolor’s daughter Colorvista).

However, Repeat Warning’s most distinguished siblings were Cezanne (Irish Champion Stakes), Colorspin (Irish Oaks, and dam of Opera House, Kayf Tara and Zee Zee Top) and Bella Colora (Prix de l’Opera and dam of the very smart Stagecraft). This is also the family of another smart 2011 juvenile in Caspar Netscher.

Nureyev

Richard Hannon and Peter Doyle’s team must be wishing that Arakan’s fourth crop is much bigger than it is.

The Ballyhane Stud stallion’s first crop provided them with Dick Turpin, a €26,000 yearling who boosted his earnings to the equivalent of around £950,000 with his victory in the Premio Vittorio di Capua. Arakan’s small third crop has also served the Doyle-Hannon partnership well.

Trumpet Major, a €20,000 buy, won the Gr2 Champagne Stakes to push his earnings beyond £60,000.

Inevitably, it has been the lowerpriced stallions who have struggled the most in the economic downturn, which has substantially reduced the broodmare population. Arakan’s books in his first four seasons went from 141 mares to 54, then to 24 before rallying slightly to 29.

Arakan achieved annual Timeform ratings of 119, 123 and 120 at the ages of three, four and five, in scoring at up to nine furlongs. There was also plenty to admire about his pedigree, as he is by the exceptionally successful Nureyev and his female line traces back to the celebrated Almahmoud.

Dick Turpin’s dam Merrily failed to win in 12 attempts. The fact that she was considered a sprinter suggests she took far less after her sire, Sharrood, than her dam, the two-yearold sprint winner Babycham Sparkle.

This daughter of So Blessed produced the fast and precocious Deep Finesse, and she is also the second dam of the very smart sprint handicappers Halmahera and Rising Shadow.

Dick Turpin’s fourth dam, Vareta, was a smart two-year-old in France, where she won the Prix de la Foret.

Her main contribution to the breed was to produce Zeddaan, who exerted

THOROUGHBRED OWNER & BREEDER INC PACEMAKER

a powerful influence on the bloodstock industry in France.

Zeddaan’s half-sister Effervescence is the second dam of such fast performers as River Falls (Gimcrack Stakes), Monsieur Bond (Duke of York Stakes) and Premiere Cuvee.

Pleasant Tap SORPRESA b/br 96 Dubiously

Although Goldikova has reeled off three consecutive victories in the Breeders’ Cup Mile and four in the Prix Rothschild, and Midday has taken the Nassau Stakes three times, these achievements shouldn’t be allowed to detract from Sahpresa’s excellent feat of winning three consecutive Sun Chariot Stakes.

Sahpresa’s latest win came just days after the death of her veteran breeder and former owner Douglas Mcintyre. Mcintyre didn’t have to spend huge amounts to produce Sahpresa. She was conceived in 2004, when her sire Sahm stood at $5,000 at Shadwell Farm. Sahpresa’s dam Sorpresa, a winner at around a mile on turf and dirt in the US, was sold for only $2,500 in January 2008, before Sahpresa had raced.

Sahm died at the age of 13, leaving just over 200 foals. Fifteen of them became stakes winners and among them were the good Irish performers Mustameet, Red Maloney and Adaala, plus the smart American filly Maram, winner of the 2008 Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf.

As a son of Mr Prospector and the triple Classic winner Salsabil, Sahm could hardly have been better bred, but his patchy racing record meant

European Pattern that he rarely received support worthy of his brilliant bloodlines. Sahm had looked very promising in winning the first two of his three juvenile starts for John Dunlop, but Racehorses of 1996 relayed that he had been “sent to Dubai where reportedly had wind operation.” Unraced at three, Sahm was next seen at four in the USA, where he won the Gr.2 Knickerbocker Handicap over nine furlongs. After suffering another blank season in 1999, he was retired.

Sahpresa is the only Gr1 winner among the five Graded winners produced by daughters of Pleasant Tap, America’s champion older male horse in 1992. Pleasant Tap is best known in Europe as the sire of David Junior (Coral-Eclipse and Champion Stakes).

Marju has been retired at the age of 23 in 2011, a year which has highlighted his ability in two different spheres. The top-class miler Canford Cliffs and the Japanese 1,000 Guineas winner Marcellina are out of his daughters, and now another of his daughters, Lightening Pearl, has won the Cheveley Park Stakes.

Lightening Pearl’s strike makes her the sixth European Gr1 winner for the 1991 St James’s Palace Stakes hero.

Significantly, all six are fillies, the others being the Irish 1,000 Guineas winner Bethrah, the outstanding miler Soviet Song, the Yorkshire Oaks and Prix Vermeille winner My Emma, the Prix de Diane heroine Sil Sila and the Prix d’Astarte winner Marbye. The only northern hemisphere sons of Marju with Gr1-winner status are Viva Pataca and Indigenous, both outstanding performers in Hong Kong, and Chinchon, winner of the 2010 United Nations Handicap.

My Emma and Lightening Pearl hail from the same family, My Emma coming from Marju’s first crop and Lightening Pearl from his 17th. It was Lightening Pearl’s fourth dam, the High Top mare Pato, who produced My Emma.

Pato also excelled when mated to Salse, producing the St Leger and Gold Cup winner Classic Cliché. My Emma produced useful stayers to Darshaan, Daylami and Galileo, but her half-sister Threatening did better, thanks to her Royal Lodge Stakes winner Mutinyonthebounty.

My Emma’s record provides hope that Lightening Pearl will stay a mile, but it mustn’t be forgotten that Lightening Pearl’s dam Jioconda and third dam Lust were respectively sired by the sprinters Rossini and Pursuit Of Love. Rossini, a three-parts-brother to Elusive Quality, won the Prix Robert Papin and Anglesey Stakes. However, Jioconda won a Listed race over a mile at two, so Lightening Pearl should stay the Guineas trip.

Caulfield on Lightening Pearl: “There is hope that she will stay a mile but it musn’t be forgotten her dam Jioconda and third dam Lust were by sprinters Rossini and Pursuit Of Love”

The Kingmambo/Sadler’s Wells cross has produced: CAMPANOLOGIST G1, DIVINE PROPORTIONS G1, EL CONDOR PASA G1, HENRYTHENAVIGATOR G1, QUEEN CLEOPATRA G1, THEWAYYOUARE G1, VIRGINIA WATERS G1, WONDER OF WONDERS G1, AKAREM G3, AMBOBO LR, Ershaad G1, Master of Hounds G1, You’ll Be Mine G1, Shahin G2, Bergamask LR, Indigo Myth LR, Marine Officer LR, Moon Dazzle LR, Multazem LR.

Germany has been a very happy hunting ground for the much-travelled Campanologist. Having taken the Hamburg-Deutschland Preis and Rheinland-Pokal at five, the son of Kingmambo returned over a year later to comfortably win the Preis von Europa.

The last two years have also seen Campanologist win a Gr2 in Dubai, contest the Melbourne Cup and go close to winning a valuable prize in Turkey. His earnings are nearing £850,000, even though his highest official rating is 116.

Campanologist is Kingmambo’s sixth Gr1 winner out of daughters of Sadler’s Wells, his predecessors including the Classic winners Henrythenavigator, Divine Proportions and Virginia Waters, and the outstanding Japanese horse El Condor Pasa.

Campanologist will surely be given his chance at stud somewhere, as he has an excellent pedigree. His second dam is the Canadian Horse of the Year Glorious Song, a winner of half of her 34 starts. More importantly, this daughter of Halo is the dam of the top stallions Rahy and Singspiel.

Campanologist’s unraced dam Ring Of Music is one of three daughters of Glorious Song to have produced a Gr1 winner, the others being the Blushing Groom filly Morn Of Song, dam of the 2003 Prix Vermeille winner Mezzo Soprano, and the Mark Of Esteem filly Chansonnette, dam of the Japanese Gr1 winner Danon Chantilly.

Ring Of Music was sold for only $60,000 at the age of 13 in 2006. At that time none of her first six foals of racing age had won, even though three of those foals were by Kingmambo (one later won in the UAE).

Campanologist’s third dam Ballade found fame primarily via her progeny

by Halo, which also included Devil’s Bag, a champion American juvenile, Saint Ballado, a Gr2 winner and prominent stallion, and Angelic Song, dam of the 2002 Hollywood Turf Cup winner Sligo Bay. 322 C L WELD PARK S G3

Broodmare Sire: DOUBLE BED. Sire of the dams of 10 Stakes winners. In 2011 - KASBAH BLISS Kahyasi G1, SULLE ORME Chichicastenango LR.

At the age of nine and having his 57th start, Kasbah Bliss finally became a Gr1 winner. Rather surprisingly this long-awaited win came on the Flat rather than over hurdles, the sector which has provided him with six Graded victories. However, no-one could begrudge Kasbah Bliss his victory in the Prix du Cadran at the fourth attempt, especially as he had finished fourth in 2008, second in 2009 (beaten a short head by Alandi) and third in 2010.

Kasbah Bliss is the sixth Gr1 winner by dual Derby winner Kahyasi, one of the others being Enzeli, winner of the Gold Cup over the same distance of two and a half miles as the Cadran. Arguably Kahyasi’s greatest gift to the thoroughbred has been his broodmare daughters, led by the exceptional Hasili.

Kasbah Bliss’s trainer Francois Doumen must have enjoyed Kasbah Bliss’s victory all the more because the gelding is out of a mare by Double Bed, a horse Doumen trained. Double Bed was a tough and much-travelled horse. Doumen asked him to race ten times as a three-year-old, sending him from France – where he impressively won the Gr2 Prix de la Cote Normande – on raids to Ireland (second in the Phoenix Champion Stakes), England and the US (fourth in the Washington D.C. International).

The enterprising Doumen also sent Double Bed to Florida early in 1988, when he landed the Gr1 Hialeah Turf Cup. The horse was clearly very talented but his record of only three wins from 18 starts cannot have helped his prospects as a sire. Even so, he did well, siring seven Group winners headed by Jim and Tonic.

Kasbah Bliss’s dam Marital Bliss is a sister to two of these Group winners, namely Rajpoute (Prix Guillaume d’Ornano and Prix Niel) and L’Annee Folle (Prix Minerve).

Sometimes it’s hard to explain why a mare proves a comparative failure as a producer. Danzig’s daughter Zarani Sidi Anna started favourite for the Irish 1,000 Guineas and contested a string of top races, including the Coronation Stakes (creditable third) and Prix de l’Abbaye (respectable sixth). The daughter of Danzig cost $450,000 as a yearling, her price reflecting the fact that her dam Emmaline was a stakeswinning half-sister to American Gr1 winners Bates Motel and Hatim. The family had previously produced winners of such important US races as the Alabama Stakes, Metropolitan Handicap and Hopeful Stakes.

Zarani Sidi Anna was initially given every chance as a broodmare, visiting the likes of Gone West, Gulch, Silver Hawk, Cozzene and Woodman, but the nearest she came to producing a stakes winner was when her Officer colt Base Commander was second in the Gr3 Kentucky Cup Sprint.

Her Cozzene filly Easy To Imagine sold for only 5,200gns at Doncaster as an unraced two-year-old and was covered for the first time at three.

Easy To Imagine’s second mating was to the very speedy Mind Games. The resultant colt, Tangerine Trees, failed to find a buyer at 8,000gns when offered as a yearling. Tangerine Trees didn’t find the winners’ enclosure until the ninth attempt. His official rating had risen no higher than 81 before his final start in 2010, when the fitting of a visor helped him show improved form to win the Listed Rous Stakes.

He has continued to improve throughout 2011, to the extent he won the Prix de l’Abbaye de Longchamp 18 years after Zarani Sidi Anna contested the race and 16 years after Mind Games ran in it. He is Mind Games’s only Gr1 winner.

John Gosden has every reason to be an admirer of the American stallion Elusive Quality, having trained his son Raven’s Pass to win the Queen Elizabeth II Stakes and Breeders’ Cup Classic. Now he has enjoyed further Gr1 glory with Elusive Quality’s daughter Elusive Kate, who was bought for $70,000 as a yearling by Blandford Bloodstock. The filly’s victory in the Prix Marcel Boussac was her fourth from five starts, and her third at stakes level.

Elusive Kate represents another triumph for the Clovelly Farms of veteran breeder Robin Scully. Scully did very well with Lyphard’s daughter La Trinite, who was fourth in the 1978 Criterium des Pouliches before producing three fillies for Clovelly which won or placed at Gr1 level. The first, her Irish River filly Seven Springs, became a dual Gr1 winner for Scully by taking the Prix Robert Papin and Prix Morny. Seven Springs later produced champion miler Distant View for Juddmonte. Scully also landed the 1985 Prix Morny with La Trinite’s Affirmed filly Regal State, who later finished second in the Prix de la Salamandre and Jacques le Marois.

Scully retained Regal State and she made her mark with two of her sons.

Her Miswaki colt Hurricane State won the Gr3 Prix Eclipse but his achievements paled alongside those

Two Selkirk fillies fought out a desperate finish to the Prix de l’Opera, with Nahrain just getting the better of the year-older Announce to maintain her unbeaten record – and become Selkirk’s tenth Gr1-winning daughter.

Selkirk had an eye-catching record with mares by the Prix du Jockey-Club winner Caerleon, notably siring the Gr1 winner Selmis and the Gr2 winner Freedonia, so the Lanwades stalwart was an automatic choice for mares by Caerleon’s brilliant son Generous.

Nahrain is the second stakes winner to emerge from Selkirk’s first ten foals out of Generous mares and she is proving every bit as good as her smart dam Bahr. This winner of the Musidora and Ribblesdale Stakes was good enough to finish second in the Oaks and third in the Irish version.

Bahr started her broodmare career in the USA, her best effort there being her late-maturing Elusive Quality filly Baharah, who won Listed races over a mile on turf and on all-weather at four.

A half-sister to Gr3-winning Soviet Star filly Clerio, Bahr has a distinguished second dam in La Mer, an import from New Zealand where she was champion juvenile filly of her generation. La Mer was given every chance by Airlie Stud and Nahrain’s second dam was by Mill Reef.

December Draw is the most recent of an ever-increasing number of British imports to make waves after being switched to Down Under. Listed-placed in March last year but then well beaten in four subsequent starts for trainer William Knight, the Medecis gelding took his Australian record to five victories and a second when touching off the former Sir Michael Stoute-trained inmate Glass Harmonium in the Turnbull Stakes.

December Draw is now a leading Melbourne Cup candidate, alongside the New Zealand raider Lion Tamer, who a fortnight earlier had beaten fourth-placed Glass Harmonium much more easily when landing an Underwood Stakes in which Midas Touch, runner-up in the 2010 English St Leger, was third.

Another Emirates Melbourne Cup possible is Chris Waller’s The Verminator, who picked up a muchneeded 4lb penalty for the November 1 showpiece when beating his stablemate Hawk Island in the Metropolitan Handicap. Formerly based in Newmarket with Geoff Wragg, Hawk Island was giving 9lb to the two and three-quarter length winner.

Another one-two came in the Rupert Clarke Stakes, this time for trainer Rick Hore-Lacy as Toorak Toff beat Pinnacle by a length and a half. A Group 1 winner in Sydney 13 months earlier, Toorak Toff was then retired owing to a breathing problem but a throat operation has done the trick and then some.

A third trainer in top form was Guy Walter, a one-time big player who

began October having gone 66 months without a top level victory. But Doctor Doom ended the drought in the Spring Champion Stakes and an hour later Walter’s dual recent Group 2-winning filly Streama stormed clear to land the Flight Stakes by over six lengths. Both Walter winners are three-year-olds and both will now have a break, sidestepping the Melbourne Spring Carnival and coming back fresh in the autumn.

Manawanui is another quality three-year-old and the Oratorio gelding gave his 64-year-old trainer Ron Leemon a belated inaugural Group 1 triumph when proving a short neck too strong for Smart Missile in the Golden Rose.

Jockey Chris O’Brien had also been waiting a long time for his first Group 1,

so victory was particularly sweet when he guided Sincero to a neck verdict over Ilovethiscity in the George Main Stakes.

Injury ruled Ilovethiscity out of a rematch in the Epsom Handicap but his trainer, Grahame Begg, put a run of misfortunes behind him by instead saddling the Dubawi filly Secret Admirer to land that valuable prize, with Sincero only eighth.

With the unbeaten world champion sprinter Black Caviar waiting in the wings, last season’s champion twoyear-old Sepoy looks like he may well give her a real race judged on his brilliant victory in the six-furlong Manikato Stakes, in which he overcame a slow start from the inside stall.

Unfortunately, the pair are unlikely to meet until the new year.

Cubage, unbeaten winner of two minor events, stayed on to beat dead-heaters Dama Juana and Catibel by a length and a half. It would have been a different story if Edwin Talaverano had

not lost his irons when Dama Juana was bumped after three furlongs. He regained them in the straight but, though his mount ran on strongly on the wide outside, it was much too late.

Oscar Pena’s Stud Dona Licha dominated the colts’ Classic, supplying the first two and the fourth. Invictus,

who had beaten Mr Dany in a Listed course and distance race on August 14, was a disappointing favourite. He made up a lot of ground to finish third but had been given too much to do.

The Breeders’ Cup (BC) Classic picture became clearer at Belmont on October 1 when both Havre de Grace and Uncle Mo enhanced their claims with clear-cut victories. Having taken on, and beaten, the boys in the Woodward Stakes, Havre de Grace reverted to her own sex in the Beldame and brushed aside Royal Delta by more than eight lengths.

Woodward form was franked in the following contest when the runner-up, Flat Out, who had also chased home Tizway in the Whitney Handicap, burst the bubble of Stay Thirsty in the Jockey Club Gold Cup. Uncle Mo, 2010 juvenile champion, is, like Stay Thirsty, owned by Mike Repole and trained by Todd Pletcher.

He is now their leading Classic hope having got his head in front for the first time since March with a three-length win in the Kelso Handicap. But the fact that all of these Belmont races, and a very messy Vosburgh Stakes, were contested on ‘muddy’ dirt, tempers enthusiasm for the form.

122

The Vosburgh went to Giant Oak, a confirmed wet-tracker who kept clear of trouble by making all, while favourites Trappe Shot (fourth) and Euroears (last) were buffeted about.

An interesting potential Classic challenger is Californian-trained Acclamation. A three-time recent Grade 1 winner, he had his final BC prep when justifying very short odds in the Clement Hirsch Turf Championship.

Trainer Donald Warren is set to aim him at the BC Turf but could switch to the Classic if the ground comes up soft.

Game On Dude had to overcome an early speed duel and then hold the late-running Awesome Gem to lift the Goodwood Stakes by half a length. His trainer Bob Baffert said he would again try to force the pace at Churchill Downs on November 5.

Havre de Grace’s defection to the Classic should have left the BC Ladies’ Classic open to her old rival Blind Luck, the only horse to have lowered her colours this year. But she posted her first unplaced effort in 22 career runs

when last behind Zazu in the Lady’s Secret Stakes at Santa Anita and was ruled out of the BC soon after. Zazu, who sports the same Jerry and Ann Moss silks as Zenyatta, will still have some strong opposition in the Ladies’ Classic, not least Plum Pretty, who returned to form when demolishing It’s Tricky in the Cotillion Stakes. Zazu has beaten Plum Pretty twice but succumbed to her when they last met at Churchill in the Kentucky Oaks.

Former Newmarket trainer Simon Callaghan has found the perfect vehicle to promote his move to California in the shape of Dubawi Heights, who remained a maiden while twice placed in Group 2s for him in England in 2009.

She grabbed her second US Grade 1 when holding off Cozi Rose by threequarters of a length in the Yellow Ribbon Stakes. She now goes for the BC Filly & Mare Turf, in which her chief rival will be French import Stacelita, who beat her a length and a quarter in the Beverly D Stakes and who took her top-level tally to six with a comfortable

score in the Flower Bowl Invitational.

Callaghan will be relieved that Winter Memories, who displayed a fabulous turn of foot after extricating herself from very tight quarters in the Garden City Stakes, misses the BC. She instead headed for the Queen Elizabeth II Stakes at Keeneland, in which she finished second.

Creative Cause will be the top West Coast contender for the BC Juvenile. He was unlucky when a close third (promoted to second) to Drill in the Del Mar Futurity and improved by over four lengths to comprehensively outpoint Drill in the Norfolk Stakes.

On the other side of the continent, the Hopeful Stakes turned into a real slog on ‘muddy’ going and Currency Swap took the length of the Saratoga home straight to overhaul Trinniberg.

Among the juvenile fillies, Weemissfrankie proved her versatility when switching from all-weather to traditional dirt and following her Del Mar Futurity victory with a hard-fought halflength success in the Oak Leaf Stakes.

Dubawi one of a trio threatening Monsun Monsun maintains his lead but several horses had three stakes winners in the month and pose a threat. They include the Darley pair Dubawi and Shamardal and Coolmore’s Hurricane Run, all of whom are only nine and cannot boast a lot of ammunition at this stage.

Hurricane Run, up from 14th to seventh, has had 102 runners, Shamardal 136 and Dubawi 146.

Dubawi has had another six stakes horses, an impressive total, and he and Dansili are now joint-second in that category, eight adrift of Galileo.

Hurricane Run’s sire Montjeu had two additional stakes winners and with 172 representatives he, too, is well short of the numerical leaders.

It is good to see a degree of balance in the sire lines of the top 20 too.

Admittedly, 12 are descended from Northern Dancer but there are three from the Mr Prospector line, two tracing to Never Bend and one each for Tamerlane, Red God and Sharpen Up. That’s a better arrangement than some people might expect given the extent of Northern Dancer’s influence.

First-season sire battle heating up As usual the massively-endowed sales races have had a major impact.

Clodovil has jumped up the list from 20th to sixth thanks to Coup de Ville’s victory at Newmarket, while at the top Holy Roman Emperor (Mehdi), Rock Of Gibraltar (Samitar) and Oasis Dream (Reply) have all benefited.

Against that, Holy Roman Emperor had seven winners during the month and Mehdi is not so big a contributor to his total as the sales race winners are with other sires. Oasis Dream has Power too, so he is maintaining his record for quality.

The battle to be top first-season sire is becoming intriguing. With four more winners apiece Dutch Art and Red Clubs are still neck and neck on 27.

Dark Angel also had four to put him on 24. The overall numerical leader, Acclamation, was another with four extra winners and on 31 he may have a sufficient advantage to hang on to his lead.

omebacks are two a penny in sport, but rarely do they give rise to the most satisfying win of a person’s career, as in the case of Lester Piggott.

The 54-year-old grandfather was less than two weeks into his return when lining up on Royal Academy in the 1990 Breeders’ Cup Mile at Belmont Park (discounting an appearance in South America earlier in the year).

Piggott, who had not race-ridden for five years, during which time he served 12 months of a three-year sentence for tax evasion and also had a bash at training, partnered Royal Academy for the equally legendary Vincent O’Brien, who had been instrumental in talking him into renewing his riding career.

The three-year-old was trying a mile for only the second time and was chasing a first win over the trip.

That was in stark contrast to British

GEORGE SELWYN

raider Markofdistinction, arguably Europe’s top miler and who came into the race having scored three times over the distance, including the Queen Anne and Queen Elizabeth II Stakes.

Teenager Frankie Dettori was on Markofdistinction, but this race was all about a master at work. After breaking last of the 13 runners, Piggott did not rush his partner into the contest but made ground steadily from the rear, stepping up a gear at halfway so that he was about sixth turning in.

There were still three rivals to pass at the furlong pole, but Piggott was in rat-a-tat overdrive on Royal Academy and forced him past Itsallgreektome and Corey Nakatani in the dying strides, for what he later called “the most satisfying winner I ever rode”.

Asked on TV by Brough Scott about it, Piggott was typically succinct in his reply. “You never forget,” he said.
