SPARKS OF BRIGHTNESSAMID THE WINTER

SOLSTICE

The Week in Review by T.D. Thornton

Leave it to one of the darkest days of the year to deliver two

glimmering equine efforts that could combust into shining stars

for the 2021 racing season.

On the cusp of the winter solstice, breakout races book-ended

the Saturday Fair Grounds card. One was a smart, step-wise

progression by a juvenile colt in a NW2L allowance who now has

credible GI Kentucky Derby aspirations. The other was an

admirably impressive comeback by a still-undefeated 3-year-old

whose own chance at the 2020 Derby got derailed by injuries

and untimely setbacks.

Both horses are campaigned by Godolphin, which is off to a

rip-roaring start at the three-week-old New Orleans meet with a

7-1-5 record and $233,740 in earnings from just 17 starts

through Saturday=s racing.

Proxy (Tapit) ably made the jump from the maiden-winning

ranks to Derby relevancy in the first race Dec. 19. Even though

his second lifetime two-turn win came against a short field,

don=t hold that against him, as each one of the three rivals gave

the Godolphin homebred a serious challenge.

Proxy brushed the gate at the break, recovered well, and

emerged confidently from between horses to assume command

onto the backstretch. Cont. p3

SECRETARIAT CENTER OPEN FOR THE

HOLIDAY SEASON by Katie Ritz

For the first time since opening their doors in 2004, the

Secretariat Center at the Kentucky Horse Park will keep its

reschooling operation up and running throughout the winter

months.

Shelley Mann, who stepped on as the program=s executive

director this September, spoke on their plans for the upcoming

season.

ATypically in the past, we have fostered horses out or

decreased our numbers for two or three months out of the

winter,@ she said. AThis is the first year that we really want to

stay open. We have an entirely brand new staff this year and we

want to work.@

One reason why the facility has shut down in the past is the

lack of an onsite indoor arena. Cont. p6

Panty Raid | Sarah Andrew

Week in Review cont. from p1

The chart doesn=t show it, but he conceded the top spot

between calls, giving up the rail and the lead to an eager pace

prompter.

Proxy re-engaged and swatted away that foe at the entrance

to the final bend, then braced for a tag-team attack from the

two stretch-running colts who had been held in abeyance.

All four horses were within a length of one another

three-sixteenths from the wire, and Proxy drifted out three

times under left-handed pressure. He appeared to intimidate an

outside rival, but being in close quarters only emboldened

Proxy, and when asked for another level of torque in deep

stretch he dug in and responded, opening up to win by 2 1/4

lengths at 7-10 odds for trainer Michael Stidham and jockey

Angel Suarez.

Although Proxy=s final time of 1:45.56 was not stellar (76 Beyer

Speed Figure), his effort impressed more from a Ahow he did it@

perspective rather than Ahow fast.@

Proxy=s pedigree has a tantalizing, distance-centric slant. In

2007, his dam, Panty Raid, won the GI American Oaks

Invitational S. at 10 furlongs on the turf, the GI Spinster S. at

nine furlongs on a synthetic track, and the GII Black-Eyed Susan

S. at nine furlongs on dirt.

Godolphin purchased Panty Raid for $2.5 million at the 2008

Fasig-Tipton November sale, and she most notably produced the

Stidham-trained Micheline (Bernardini), who earlier this year

was a MSW and GISP Godolphin filly who set a course record for

1 5/16 miles in a $500,000 grass stakes at Kentucky Downs.

Proxy, it should be noted, has raced on Lasix for both of his

Fair Grounds wins after running second, beaten a neck, without

it in his Monmouth Park debut. Cont. p4

Maxfield | Coady Photography

He=ll have to ditch the Lasix in order to stamp himself as a

top-tier Derby candidate, because this year=s edition (and the

major points-earning Derby prep races) will be conducted

without that anti-bleeding drug.

>Max= is Back

A dozen races and nearly six hours later on Saturday, Maxfield

(Street Sense) pranced onto the floodlit Fair Grounds main track

for the Tenacious S.

If the passage of nearly seven months since his last start made

you forget what a sleek and athletically gifted equine specimen

he is, the dark bay=s presence in this relatively modest $75,000

nightcap would soon snap you back to those long, warm days of

spring, when AMax@ was ranked as high as third on the TDN

Derby Top 12 and was last seen professionally dismantling a

pretty decent field in the GIII Matt Winn S. even though he was

not fully cranked for a prime effort that day.

Depending on which prism you choose to view him through,

Maxfield is either the most unlucky four-for-four racehorse on

the planet right now or the luckiest.

On the unlucky side, recall that Max unleashed the most

visually impressive juvenile stakes effort of 2019 when he

ransacked the GI Claiborne Breeders= Futurity field at Keeneland

that October. He loomed as one of the favorites for the GI

Breeders= Cup Juvenile, but was forced to scratch the week of

the race, and underwent ankle chip surgery in November that

kept him sidelined until mid-winter.

Godolphin tasked trainer Brendan Walsh with mapping out a

slow but steady 2020 comeback for Max. But just when he

appeared poised to resurface in the entries, the pandemic hit,

halting most racing and knocking the Triple Crown schedule

askew. Cont. p5

Yet a few weeks later, this timing change appeared to work in

Maxfield=s favor, because that May 23 Winn score would allow

the homebred time for a summer prep race or two prior to the

rescheduled Sept. 5 Derby.

But on June 10, Maxfield suffered a non-displaced condylar

fracture in his right front leg while breezing a half-mile at

Keeneland. Godolphin immediately issued a press release saying

that it was looking forward to a 2021 campaign after the colt

healed. But that prospect was hardly etched in stone.

So the fact that Max persevered through yet another long-haul

rehab has to be considered the lucky part. The icing on the cake

is that he thrived in Saturday=s comeback, and we still have yet

to see his all-out best.

Shadowing the speed, the 1-2 favorite cut an intimidating

presence while in stalk mode sitting second for most of an

untroubled trip, and watching Max inch forward with

metronomic precision down the backstretch gave the

impression that he could have inhaled the frontrunner at will.

But jockey Florent Geroux instead waited until five-sixteenths

out to cue his colt to quicken, with Max coming over the top at

the three-sixteenths pole. He was hand-urged and not overly

extended to win by 2 1/2 measured lengths in 1:43.35 (98

Beyer).

AI=m relieved,@ Walsh said post-race. AIt=s nice to get him back

[to racing] and have him run so well. He was working so well

going into it, you=re just looking for confirmation. He gave us

what we needed to seeY. He was a little fresh, so maybe he was

a little more aggressive than normal. I don=t think he=s a deep

closer by any means. He=s a stronger horse this year and I think

we can ride him more prominently.@

program.

Secretariat Center Open All Winter cont. from p1

AThere are going to be some days, unfortunately, where we

won=t be able to get a ton of riding done,@ Mann said. ABut there

are so many other things that we can do with the horses

whether it=s handling them on the ground, teaching them to clip

or doing things with them in the stall--just handling them every

single day that we can, rain or shine. We=re looking forward to

it.@

For nearly two decades, the Secretariat Center has worked to

prepare off-track Thoroughbreds for successful post-track

careers by rehabilitating and training foundational skills that will

help them succeed with their eventual adopters.

AWe really pride ourselves on being the gold standard in

Thoroughbred retraining,@ Mann said. AI think what makes us

unique is that we are not a rescue facility, we are a retraining

facility. We have great relationships with our donors and our

adopters, and we work to make that match between a quality

horse that is athletic and versatile with a perfect home where

they can be happy and healthy for the rest of their lives.@

In order to keep the barn open in the coming months, the

Secretariat Center is conducting a >Be An Angel= program this

holiday season to help gather basic supplies the horses will use

throughout the winter.

AWe=re really working to provide as many opportunities for the

horses as possible,@ Mann said. AThis year we have created a

program where we have Be An Angel trees in a variety of

locations around the Lexington area. Each ornament has a photo

of a horse currently on the property and on the back is their

Christmas wish list.@

Requests on the wish lists include girths, winter blankets,

turnout sheets and more.

Be An Angel trees are located at the Secretariat Center main

office, as well as KBC Horse Supplies, Rood and Riddle

Veterinary Pharmacy and Hagyard Pharmacy. Cont. p7

Christmas Pickles shipping out to her new home

Secretariat Center

For those who wish to contribute, donations boxes are

available at each of the tree

host locations, as well as the

Secretariat Center office lobby.

Supply donations can also be

made online through Amazon

Smile and monetary donations

can be made here.

The Secretariat Center sits on

22 acres at the Kentucky Horse

Park and features various

paddocks, riding arenas, a

round pen and a 10-stall barn.

The program typically houses

between 10 and 15 horses.

While inquiring adopters are

usually permitted to visit the

facility and ride available

horses, the process has been

hindered this year due to the

pandemic and ongoing travel restrictions. Mann and her team

have had to adapt in order to continue adopting out their

trainees.

AWe do a lot of communications through live videos. Trainers

can sit in on the calls. It=s been interesting to be able to branch

out and think of new ways to

find homes for these horses.@

One 3-year-old mare has

been adopted out through

online communication and will

be going to her new home,

quite appropriately, right

before the holidays begin.

AChristmas Pickles (Awesome

Again) has been very popular

since we have put her up for

adoption,@ Mann said. AShe=s a

big girl at 17 hands, and was

just recently adopted. She will

be moving to North Carolina

and will be our closest thing to

a Christmas delivery.@

Mann said that with their

location at the Kentucky Horse

Park, she believes their team has a unique opportunity in terms

of educating both the public and the industry on aftercare.

AIt=s wonderful being here,@ she said. AEducation is really a

focus of ours, whether it=s working within the industry with

owners and trainers to educate on options for these horses after

they=re done racing or reaching out to other facilities that want

to promote and educate on aftercare.@

As she looks ahead to the new year, Mann said her team has

even bigger goals for 2021.

AWe have so many plans,@ she said. AWe=re so excited, but I

would say really we=re trying to focus on how we can do things

better in terms of increasing our outreach through education

and within our community so that anyone that goes through the

Secretariat Center has a memorable, positive experience.@

after a quarter in :22.67. She shrugged off a pair of runners at

midstretch and just held off the late-closing Maracuja (Honor

Code) to graduate by a neck. R Working Girl, the 19th winner for

her freshman sire (by Uncle Mo), was a $100,000 KEESEP

yearling. Collar produced a filly by Mo Town in 2020 and was

bred back to Audible. Click for Equibase.com chart. VIDEO,

lengths.

OVERTOOK (c, 2, Curlin--Got Lucky {GISW, $951,340}, by A.P.

Indy), a $1-million KEESEP yearling purchase, was fourth going

six furlongs on debut at Belmont Oct. 10 and was third--beaten

21 lengths--when stretched to nine furlongs at this oval Nov. 8.

Shedding the blinkers for this third go, the 5-1 shot was taken in

hand soon after the break and settled near the back of the pack.

He began picking up foes on the turn, swept up five wide into

the stretch and closed with a late flourish to win by two lengths.

Gwaun River Valley (Blame) was second. Grade I winner Got

Lucky produced a filly by Curlin last year and a colt by Arrogate

this year. She was bred back to Ghostzapper. Click for the

RIFT VALLEY (c, 3, PioneeroftheNile--Score, by A.P. Indy) had an

eventful first out Nov. 12 going six panels over this surface,

hitting the gate at the break and racing several paths wide

throughout to finish fourth. Sent off at just under 3-1 to improve

off that effort and a Dec. 9 five-furlong bullet at Belmont in 1:01

4/5 (1/13), the 2018 Fasig-Tipton New York-bred topper was a

little rank out of the gate, throwing his head, and found himself

at the back of the pack. The bay stayed on the inside and was no

better than ninth through a quarter in :22.75 and a half in

:46.53. Moving resolutely on the turn, he swung wide and still

looked well beaten a sixteenth from home, then dug in down

the stretch to edge clear by 1 1/2 lengths in the final yards. First-

time starter King Angelo (Lemon Drop Kid) filled the runner-up

spot. Rift Valley is a half to Dattt Melody (Unbridled's Song), SP,

$332,007; as well as to GSP Timely Tally (Mr. Greeley). Dam

Score hasn=t produced a live foal since Rift Valley, but was bred

to Classic Empire for next term. She is out of MGISW Educated

O BESOS (c, 2, Orb--Snuggs and Kisses {SW, $288,020}, by

Soto), sixth in his 6 1/2-furlong bow over a sloppy main track at

Churchill Nov. 22, was sent off at 7-2. Away awkwardly, the

chestnut colt was last early and was well back as a pair of

runaway leaders zipped through the opening quarter in :21.66

and a half in :45.47. He reeled in the pacesetters down the lane

and strode clear to win by 5 1/2 lengths. Favored

Unitedandresolute (Violence), who had contested the pace, held

on to be second. O Besos is a half-brother to Transatlantic Kiss

(Stormy Atlantic), SP, $203,516. Snuggs and Kisses produced

WILL'S SECRET (f, 2, Will Take Charge--Girls Secret, by Giant's

Causeway), last seen finishing third in an Oct. 25 Churchill

maiden, made the 700-mile trek south from Louisville to NOLA.

Breaking from the extreme outside, she stayed widest of the

strung-out field while midpack. Moved up to third before a

:48.48 half, the 5-2 favorite inched clear under encouragement

down the lane for a 2 3/4-length win over Adventuring

(Pioneerof the Nile). The homebred is the first foal out of her

dam, who has a yearling full-brother to the winner and a

weanling colt by Hard Spun in the pipeline. Girls Secret, who was

bred back to Hard Spun for next term, is out of GSW & MGISP

Park West in his Nov. 15 unveiling. The 8-1 shot sprinted to the

early lead, skipped clear into the stretch and reported home a 1

7th-Gulfstream, $40,000, Msw, 12-20, 2yo, f, 7f, 1:23.81, ft, 7

1/4 lengths.

ZAAJEL (f, 2, Street Sense--Asiya {MSP, $136,200}, by Daaher),

sent off at 3-1, was outfooted in the early strides, but improved

her position down the backstretch. Within striking distance

approaching the stretch, the bay filly stuck a head in front at the

top of the lane and glided clear to win by a geared-down 7 1/4

lengths. Stablemate Unbridled d=Oro (Medaglia d=Oro) closed to

be second.

AShe=d been training forwardly,@ said winning trainer Todd

Pletcher. AShe was a half-step slow from the gate the other

morning--she tossed her head a little at the break. We stood her

a few times and she was good, so we went ahead and ran her

today, thinking she was ready to go,@ Pletcher said. ASeven

furlongs is a good starting point for her.@

As for what is next for the Shadwell homebred, Pletcher said,

AWe=ll play it by ear. She=s clearly a filly that wants more

distance. That=s always exciting when you have one break their

maiden at a shorter distance.@

Zaajel is a half-sister to 2019 GII Remsen S. runner-up

Ajaaweed (Curlin), MGSP, $139,850. Asiya, who sold for $16,000

while in foal to Mohaymen at the 2018 Keeneland November

sale, was bred to Blame this year.

Pletcher saddled another impressive Shadwell homebred

debut winner last week at Gulfstream with Arham (Union Rags)

coming home seven lengths the best in Hallandale last Thursday.

Lot 663A, one of three foals by Frankel to co-top

Sunday=s session at Goffs | Goffs

FRANKEL FOALS HEADGOFFS MARKET

By Daithi Harvey

KILDARE, Ireland--It was a case of saving the best until last as

the Goffs November Foal Sale finished with a flourish on Sunday

evening. Despite a few high-profile withdrawals, there were still

plenty of highly sought after lots on offer and it was three foals

by Frankel (GB) who shared the honour of co-top lots with each

commanding i440,000. While there may not have been the

depth of trade evident in previous editions, the session was

underpinned by a solid clearance rate of 82%, with 135 foals

sold for a total of i10,374,000. The average for the day was

i76,844, while a median price of i52,000 was recorded. There

were 47 six-figure transactions on day three of last year=s record

sale, and 28 on Sunday.

Frankel fever began to set in around mid-afternoon and it was

ignited by the sale of the supplementary lot 663A. The brilliant

Juddmonte stallion sired Grenadier Guards (Jpn), the winner of

the G1 Asahi Hai Futurity in Japan on Sunday morning, and that

fact wasn't lost on Harry Sweeney, who signed the buyer's

docket. The son of the multiple stakes winner Lily's Angel (Ire)

(Dark Angel {Ire}) will make his way to Sweeney's Paca Paca

Farm in Japan where Sweeney hopes he will build on his sire's

impressive record.

Cont. p2

FRANKEL=S GRENADIER GUARDS UP FOR

ASAHI HAI WIN Grenadier Guards (Jpn), the first foal out of the 2015

GI Breeders= Cup Filly & Mare Sprint winner Wavell Avenue

(Harlington), became Frankel=s 12th Group 1 winner in Sunday=s

G1 Asahi Hai Futurity S. in Japan. Stalking the pace off the

six-length lead set by Mondreise (Jpn) (Daiwa Major {Jpn}),

Grenadier Guards was poised in second by the time they

straightened. Grenadier Guards gradually cut down that rival=s

advantage in the lane, hit the lead at the furlong marker and

held off a rallying Stella Volce (Jpn) (Bago {Fr}) to win by three-

quarters of a length in track record time. Favoured Red Belle

Aube (Jpn) (Deep Impact {Jpn}) traveled further back and keenly

early before making up late ground to grab third.

Grenadier Guards was making his fourth start for trainer

Mitsumasa Nakauchida. Cont. p11

Lot 673, a Frankel filly | Goffs

Frankel Foals Head Goffs Market cont. from p1

"Frankel has been quite successful in Japan; they are big strong

horses and they seem to operate well there,@ Sweeney said. AI

hoped to get this one for slightly less but he is a fine foal and we

look forward to getting him home.@

The next Frankel foal that

entered the ring brought the

exact same price when knocked

down to online bidder Blackstar

Bloodstock. Lot 673 was

consigned by Des Leadon and

Mariann Klay's Swordlestown

Little Stud and was bred by

Graeng Bloodstock Ltd out of the

G3 Brownstown S. winner

Marvada (Ire) (Elusive City). The

mare has already bred the top

class G2 Dahlia S. winner and G1

Queen Anne S. runner up

Terebellum (Ire) (Sea The Stars

{Ire}), while Marvada's 2-year-old Miss Finland (Ire) (Invincible

Spirit {Ire}) broke her maiden recently for John Gosden. It was

an intense half hour for Swordlestown Little as no sooner had

the dust settled on lot 673 than they were back in the ring with

another Frankel colt,

lot 684. This colt was bred by Leadon and Klay out of Nisriyna

(Ire) (Intikhab) and completed the Frankel i440,000 trifecta,

this time to the bid of Juddmonte's Barry Mahon. The

13-year-old Nisriyna has been a star for Swordlestown Little and

is the dam of the former prolific Hong Kong runner Dinozzo (Ire)

(Lilbourne Lad {Ire}), who after

amassing over ,1.1-million in his

racing career was repatriated

back to Swordlestown Little to

spend an honourable

retirement.

"It's been some rollercoaster,"

said Leadon after the second of

his headline sales. "We think the

world of this Nisriyna colt, he

looks a proper racehorse and he

really took to this new

environment like a duck to

water. Nothing seems to faze

him. It's a wonderful family and

the mare really deserved an upgrade in the type of stallion she

was visiting. We were delighted that her 2-year-old Qaasid (Ire)

(Awtaad {Ire}) recently got off the mark for Sir Michael Stoute,

who is a dear friend of ours, and we are thrilled that Juddmonte

have bought this foal.@

Gerard Lowry of Oneliner Stables | Tattersalls

Barry Mahon had been underbidder on an Expert Eye (GB) foal

earlier in the session and was determined not to leave without

this one. "Prince Khalid was very keen on this colt and he looks a

good fit for the Juddmonte programme,@ Mahon said. AHe also

came from a top farm and was beautifully prepped. Frankel has

become a true international sire with the horse in Japan this

morning another example of what he can do and it's great for

Irish breeders who have supported him to be rewarded like

this.@

In a flurry of Frankel sales, lot 685 rewarded the perseverance

of successful buyer Gerard Lowry of Oneliner Stables. Lowry had

tried hard to buy the previous lot but was more than happy to

come away with this son of Noyelles (Ire) (Docksider) when the

hammer dropped at i360,000. Similarly bred to the first Frankel

sold being a half-brother to Lily's Angel (Ire) (Dark Angel {Ire}),

this colt was consigned by Neilstown Stud on behalf of the foal's

breeders Nick and Alice Nugent.

"Both Frankels were top of our list so we're delighted to get

this one," Gerard Lowry said. "Frankel is a global commodity,

this horse is a half-brother to two good fillies and he will be back

for resale next year."

There may not have been as much international

representation as in previous years at this sale, but that didn't

prevent Goffs Scandinavian agent Filip Zwicky getting stuck in on

behalf of clients. His purchases were headed by lot 707, a

Footstepsinthesand (GB) half-brother to G1 Keeneland Phoenix

S. winner Lucky Vega (Ire) (Lope De Vega {Ire}) that cost

i300,000. Consigned by Baroda Stud, the colt is a grandson of

G1 Prix de l'Opera winner Satwa Queen (Fr) (Muhtathir {GB}),

and while bought for Scandinavian interests he will be making

an appearance at Goffs again next year.

"I bought him for the owner of Swedish Derby winner Bullof

Wall Street (Tapizar), who we bought in the Orby two years

ago,@ Zwicky said. AThis is the owner's first pinhook and the

horse will come back here for the Orby next year.@

Philipp Stauffenberg is

another who is no stranger to

paying big money for foals to

resell and more often than not

the gamble pays off. He struck

for lot 659, a No Nay Never

full-sister to both GII Mrs

Revere S. winner Nay Lady

Nay (Ire) and G2 Coventry S.

winner Arizona (Ire). The

Ballintry Stud-consigned filly

set Stauffenberg back

i260,000, but with a

pedigree that also features

two individual champions

further down in Bright

Generation (Ire) (Rainbow Quest) and Dabirsim (Fr) (Hat Trick

{Jpn}), the filly looks well bought. Bred by Stephen Sullivan out

of Lady Ederle (English Channel), the sale is the latest success

story for the mare that keeps on giving.

Sullivan bought the mare in Keeneland eight years ago for

$27,000 and is beginning to really reap the rewards from the

11-year-old.

"I'm delighted, Lady Ederle is turning into a real cash cow but

all credit to Joe [Rogers] and his

team at Ballintry Stud,@ Sullivan

said. AHe looks after the foals so

well and I would recommend

him to anyone. The mare is in

foal to Frankel (GB) and I

imagine we'll see that foal back

here hopefully next year. Goffs

do a great job and despite

everything happening we are

here trading horses.@

Lot 583 from The Castlebridge

Consignment already had good

credentials being an

Acclamation (GB) half-brother

to two fast stakes horses in K

Club (Ire) (Kodiac {GB}) and Back To Brussels (Ire)

(Starspangledbannner {Aus}).

However, there could be more to come from the family next

year particularly from a yearling half-sister by Mehmas (Ire) that

cost ,330,000 at the Orby Sale in Doncaster and goes into

training with Joseph O'Brien.

That was surely at the forefront of JC Bloodstock's Mick

Fitzpatrick's mind as he traded bids with Gay O'Callaghan with

Fitzpatrick eventually winning the battle with a bid of i195,000.

The foal was bred by Horse Racing Ireland Chairman Nick

Hartery out of the mare Big Boned (Street Sense), who has

proved a fine investment since being purchased at Goffs in 2014

by Rathasker Stud for i27,000.

Mick Fitzpatrick added to Kilminfoyle's pinhooking squad for

next year when seeing off a parade ring bidder to secure lot 603

for i225,000. The strapping Camelot (GB) colt offered by Oghill

House Stud is a full-brother to the very smart Ado McGuinness-

trained Current Option (Ire) and Fitzpatrick said, "He is a very

nice foal by a proven stallion and is a brother to a good horse so

he ticks plenty of boxes."

For the foal's breeder Craig English it was a fine return as he

only bought the mare Coppertop (Ire) (Exceed And Excel {Aus})

at this sale last year for i50,000. She was carrying this foal at

the time and in the meantime Current Option (Ire) has won a

premier handicap at Galway, a listed race at Cork and the

G3 Concorde S. at Tipperary, exploits which have seen his rating

climb to 107.

Another Camelot (GB) foal to find favour was lot 708. Bred by

Kilcarn Stud, the full-sister to stakes winner Fighting Irish (Ire)

was bought by Peter and Ross Doyle for i185,000. Camelot's

popularity was again evident when Oaklawn Stud's filly, lot 735,

was bought by Highbank Stud for i190,000.

Former Curragh trainer Takashi Kodama stepped in to

purchase lot 649 on behalf of Japan=s Big Red Farm. The Irish

National Stud-consigned son of Invincible Spirit (Ire) cost

i210,000 and is a half-brother to a pair of stakes winners by

Sea The Stars (Ire) in Chemical Charge (Ire) and Dalgarno (Fr),

while the early pace was set by a son of Kodiac (GB) bought by

the Tally-Ho team for i190,000. Bred by Michael Ryan and

consigned by his Dungarvan-based Al Eile Stud, lot 567 is a

grandson of Ryan's brilliant dual 1000 Guineas winner Finsceal

Beo (Ire) (Mr Greely) and out of the winning Galileo mare An

Cailin Orga (Ire).

The Goffs November Sale and indeed the reshuffled Irish 2020

sales calendar culminates with the single-session breeding stock

sale which begins at 10 a.m. on Monday.

Consigned by Ballinacurra Stud

Purchased by Camas Park Stud

Indigo Butterfly went winless in her racing career, but since

being purchased for i21,000 at the Arqana December sale in

2016 she has benefitted from some big pedigree updates. Her

half-sister Sand Vixen (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}), the G2 Flying Childers

S. winner, has produced the G1 Jebel Hatta S. scorer Dream

Castle (GB) (Frankel {GB}). Breeder Denis McCarthy sold Indigo

Butterfly=s first foal, a filly by Gleneagles (Ire), for i52,000 at

this sale last year and hit another home run with her second foal

on Sunday.

698 c Dandy Man (Ire) Plying 80,000

Consigned by Jossestown Farm

Purchased by Ballyhane

As profiled in Saturday=s TDN, Martin Cooney purchased Plying

at Goffs November in 2018 for i21,000 in foal to

Starspangledbanner (Aus). The mare at the time had two foals of

racing age and no winners, but that soon changed with

Alexander James (Ire) (Camelot {GB}) winning at listed level in

France and Alcohol Free (Ire) (No Nay Never) providing the

ultimate update when winning this year=s G1 Cheveley Park S.

Cooney had, in the meantime, already profited from the mare

when selling her Starspangledbanner filly for i40,000 at Goffs

February this year, and he is now well ahead with her. Plying is

in foal to Gleneagles (Ire).

Consigned by Albany Stud

Purchased by Altenbach Bloodstock

John Ryan stole the barren Listed Chesham S. second Sonning

Rose for just i2,800 at Goffs February last year. The 12-year-old

mare was put in foal to first-season sire Sioux Nation shortly

thereafter. Sonning Rose=s 2-year-old filly Elysium (Ire) (Belardo

{Ire}) won the G3 Park S. since the catalogue was printed, and

the mare=s connections reaped the rewards on Sunday.

735 f Camelot (GB) Stealth Missile (Ire) 190,000

Consigned by Oaklawn Stud

Purchased by Highbank Stud

The dual winner Stealth Missile (Ire) (Invincible Spirit {Ire}) was

plucked out of the Tattersalls February Sale in 2015 for

35,000gns. Her 3-year-old half-sister at the time had run just

once, but she evolved to be Covert Love (Ire) (Azamour {Ire}),

winner of the 2015 G1 Irish Oaks and G1 Prix de l=Opera. Plenty

of value, then, was added to Stealth Missile, and this filly

provided yet another good transaction following a colt by Dansili

(GB) (80,000gns yearling) and a colt and a filly each by Sea The

Stars (Ire) (i240,000 foal and i160,000 foal).

CRAPS (FR) (c, 2, Wootton Bassett {GB}--Ironique, by Smart

Strike) was swiftly into stride and led from the outset of this first

go. In command throughout, the 11-10 favourite was shaken up

with 350 metres remaining and stayed on powerfully under mild

coaxing in the closing stages to easily outclass Dark Ocean (Fr)

(Exosphere {Aus}) by a geared-down three lengths. He is the

second of four foals and first scorer produced by an unraced

daughter of G3 Prix Eclipse victress Iron Lips (GB) (Iron Mask),

herself a half-sister to G1 Poule d=Essai des Poulains-winning sire

Falco (Pivotal {GB}). The March-foaled bay is half to a yearling

LAYLANA (FR) (f, 2, Footstepsinthesand {GB}--Lidiyana {Fr}, by

Motivator {GB}) was caught snoozing at the break and forfeited

ground to all 12 rivals, racing out back as the riderless Valarica

(Fr) (Cat Junior) threatened to wreak havoc after parting with

jockey Lucas Armand. Still in rear when stoked into action off

the home turn, the 36-5 chance was relentless under continued

cajoling in the straight and surged by Attasha (GB) (Le Havre

{Ire}) in the dying strides en route to an ultimately comfortable

one-length success. She is the second foal and scorer out of a

winning half-sister to G2 Blamey S. victor Lidari (Fr) (Acclamation

{GB}), Listed Derby du Languedoc first Laristan (Fr) (Sinndar

{Ire}) and Listed Prix de Tourgeville winner Luannan (Ire)

(Zamindar). The February-foaled grey, a granddaughter of Listed

Prix Casimir Delamarre and Listed Criterium du Languedoc

victress Laxlova (Fr) (Linamix {Fr}), is a half-sister to Listed Prix

Occitanie victress Likala (Fr) (Exceed and Excel {Aus}) and a

yearling colt by Le Havre (Ire). Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, i7,000.
