TDN HEADLINE NEWS • PAGE 3 OF 15 • THETDN.COM SATURDAY • OCTOBER 19, 2019

Hollendorfer cont. from p1 AWe just found out within the last half hour what the decision

will be. Obviously, it=s disappointing and devastating news,@

Drew Couto, Hollenderfor=s attorney, said Friday. AHe=s

exceedingly disappointed. He did not see it coming.@

Couto said that he was unable at this time to publicly speculate

as to what might happen to the horses Hollendorfer intended to

run under his name at the Breeders= Cup.

AAs one might imagine, there are many moving pieces, and so,

we need to sit down, calmly digest everything that has gone on,

and take whatever steps are necessary so that Jerry=s clients are

not unnecessarily and inadvertently penalized as a result of the

Breeders= Cup=s decision,@ Couto said.

The decision of the Breeders= Cup, Couto added, is the

consequence of a Aflawed process,@ in that the trainer has yet to

receive the Adue process@ afforded him legally.

Indeed, in court filings prior to Wednesday=s hearing at the Los

Angeles Superior Court, representatives for TSG argued that

Hollendorfer has been given Athe provision of Fair Procedure@ at

a meeting at Santa Anita Sept. 12 attended by Hollendorfer and

his legal team, along with representatives from TSG and the

California Thoroughbred Trainers.

Hollendorfer=s position, Couto told the TDN Wednesday, is that

the September meeting doesn=t constitute Afair procedure@

because it didn=t occur before the trainer was barred from Santa

Anita=s grounds in June.

AThis is why we have been so devoted to the notion of fair

process and procedure,@ Couto explained Friday. AIt hasn=t

occurred yet, and this is the consequence of it. Unfortunately.

It=s punitive on Jerry, and it=s punitive on his clients, and it=s a

black eye for the industry. Terrible.@

DAM OF EIGHT RINGS SUPPLEMENTED TO

KEENOV Purely Hot (Pure Prize--Wood Not, Kissing Kris), the dam of

Grade I winner Eight Rings (Empire Maker), has been

supplemented to Book 1 of the Keeneland November Sale. The

11-year-old mare is in foal to Union Rags and sells as Hip 274G

with Taylor Made.

AWe are excited to offer another exceptional broodmare in

Purely Hot,@ WinStar Farm President, CEO and Racing Manager

Elliott Walden said. ATwo years ago, we sold the dams of four

Grade I winners at Keeneland and hope to replicate their

success.@

Purely Hot won 12 races, including the GIII Whimsical S., and

earned $426,905. She was purchased by WinStar for $250,000

in foal to Bodemeister at the 2014 Fasig-Tipton November Sale.

DAM OF SWEET MELANIA HEADLINES

LATEST FTKNOV SUPPLEMENTS Sweet N Discreet (Discreet Cat--West Side Dancer, by Gone

West), dam of GII Jessamine S. heroine Sweet Melania

(American Pharoah), is one of three new supplements to the

Nov. 5 Fasig-Tipton November Sale. Offered by Lane=s End as Hip

216 in foal to Liam=s Map, the chestnut won four of 12 starts,

including the Florida Sunshine Millions Distaff and was runner-

up in the GII Sabin S. en route to amassing earnings of $366,447.

The half-sister to GSW Travelin Man summoned $1.1 million at

the 2014 FTKNOV Sale.

The other two supplements are both weanlings. Hill >n= Dale

sells Hip 215, a Malibu Moon colt out of GSW Win McCool

(Giant=s Causeway), making him a half-brother to GSP Cool

Beans (Candy Ride {Arg}) and the dam of MGISW Magnum

Moon (Malibu Moon). Hip 217 is a son of Keen Ice and

Bourbonesque (Dynaformer), making him a half to GI Awesome

Again S. hero Mongolian Groom (Hightail).

Fasig-Tipton will continue to accept approved supplemental

entries up until the Breeders' Cup.

CONSTITUTION IS NEW STAR FOR WINSTAR Constitution, by Tapit from Baffled, by Distorted Humor, is the

new rising star in the WinStar stallion barn. As of Thursday,

Constitution was ranked second behind American Pharoah

(Pioneerof the Nile) on the first-crop sire list with less than

$25,000 separating the two as the high-dollar and

game-changing Breeders' Cup races loom in a few weeks, but he

leads the list with three graded winners, one of which is Gl

Champagne S. winner Tiz the Law, a leading juvenile colt this

year. Constitution stood his first season at stud in 2016 for

$25,000 and was down to $15,000 by 2019, but will cover mares

at a $40,000 fee for next year based on the success he's shown

so far. WinStar has had "over 100 applications without

soliciting," said Elliott Walden, the farm's president, CEO, and

racing manager by phone on Thursday. Nothing speaks of

success like demand.

2019 PERFORMANCE POINTS TO STRONG 2020 KEENELAND JANUARY SALEThe 2019 Keeneland January Horses

of All Ages Sale broke records across

the board. The $5 million sale of

Champion Abel Tasman to Coolmore

tied for the top price paid in the

sale’s history, but that was just the

beginning. 2019 delivered the highest

gross sales since 2008 ($46.7 million),

an increase of nearly 34% year-over-

year, and a record average and record-

equaling median. The success of 2019

anticipates even greater opportunity

for sellers in 2020.

Constitution=s Tiz the Law | Sarah K Andrew

Taking Stock cont.

Bred by the partnership of Grapestock LLC and Fox Hill Farms

in Kentucky and campaigned by Twin Creeks and WinStar, >TDN

Rising Star= Constitution was unraced at two, won the Gl Besilu

Florida Derby at three and the Gl Donn H. at four, and went to

stud with a record of four wins from eight starts and $1,031,596

in earnings. At 16.1 hands, he's a tall and leggy bay Tapit who'd

cost Twin Creeks and WinStar $400,000 at the Fasig-Tipton

Saratoga select yearling sale in 2012, and he's that rare

well-bred yearling purchase that more than made back his

auction price on the racetrack. Syndicated upon retirement with

both WinStar and Twin Creeks retaining sizeable interests, the

horse was popular at stud from the beginning, and now with a

successful first crop of 2-year-olds behind him, his connections

are set to reap even more rewards next year.

Constitution was trained by Todd Pletcher, who, by the way,

should be anointed as a stallion maker, not just at WinStar,

where he trained the farm's More Than Ready (Southern Halo),

Speightstown (Gone West), Always Dreaming (Bodemeister),

Audible (Into Mischief), Commissioner (A.P. Indy), Daredevil

(More Than Ready), Outwork (Uncle Mo), Overanalyze (Dixie

Union) and Super Saver (Maria's Mon), but for his incredible

mark on this year's first-crop list alone. In addition to No. 2

Constitution, he trained No. 3 Competitive Edge (Super Saver),

No. 4 Liam's Map (Unbridled's Song), No. 5 Khozan (Distorted

Humor), No. 6 Palace Malice (Curlin), and No. 10 Carpe Diem

(Giant's Causeway)--who's also at WinStar. Cont. p7

WinStar appears as if it can do no wrong these days. It was just

last year that the entity raced Triple Crown winner Justify (Scat

Daddy) as the majority owner and cashed out on his windfall

sale to Coolmore, and without skipping a beat the farm has

developed Constitution as a

potential heir to leading sire

Tapit and also bred perhaps the

most impressive 2-year-old colt

of the year, >Rising Star= Eight

Rings (Empire Maker), a

$520,000 Keeneland September

yearling trained by Bob Baffert

for an ownership group that

includes some of WinStar's old

partners in Justify, SF

Bloodstock, Starlight Racing, and

Madaket. Eight Rings enters the

Gl Breeders' Cup Juvenile off a

terrifically impressive six-length

win in the Gl American Pharoah S. at Santa Anita, and a win in

the Breeders' Cup will have some important and strategic

implications for WinStar. For one, it would likely give a

WinStar-bred colt an Eclipse Award, but perhaps as importantly,

it could keep some of the other first-crop sires from grabbing

first-place money in a race that Constitution's best colt Tiz the

Law, who was bred by Twin Creeks, is expected to bypass.

Team Valor's promising Todd Pletcher-trained Constitution colt

Gouverneur Morris, in which WinStar purchased a leg before

the colt's winning nine-length debut at Saratoga on Sept. 2 that

earned him >Rising Star=-dom, is

also out of consideration for the

Breeders' Cup Juvenile after a

distant second-place finish in the

Gl Claiborne Breeders' Futurity

at Keeneland--run on the same

day as Tiz the Law's Champagne

triumph at Belmont.

"We've laid him up and are just

going to give him a bit of a

freshening, getting ready for his

3-year-old campaign," Walden

said. "Barry [Irwin of Team

Valor] did the same thing with

[future Gl Kentucky Derby

winner] Animal Kingdom. You know, he wanted to do it, and I

agreed with it. I liked his race in the Breeders' Futurity, but I felt

like, give him a little break now, he's had two runs, and get him

ready for the Classics was the way to go." Cont. p8

Tiz the Law is a New York-bred colt owned by Sackatoga Stableand trained by Barclay Tagg, the same connections that werebehind Distorted Humor's first-crop Kentucky Derby winner

Funny Cide, so there's some déjà vu surrounding the colt,especially as Constitution was produced from a daughter ofWinStar's elder statesman--who, incidentally, was trained byWalden. Tagg, a conservative horseman, didn't race Funny Cidein the Breeders' Cup Juvenile, but he's already been bolder withTiz the Law, sending him to the Champagne off a New York-bredmaiden special weight win, whereas Funny Cide was kept to twoNew York-bred black-type races following his winning debut.Tagg has said he will run Tiz the Law next in the Gll KentuckyJockey Club S. at Churchill instead of the Breeders' Cup, and awin there will allow his sire to pick up additional funds with amonth remaining to decide the freshman sire championship. "We might lose [the first-crop sire championship] because ofit," Walden said of the colt missing the Breeders' Cup, but hewas sanguine about the possibility. "I think, in the long run,we're going to have better 3-year-olds," he said, noting thatConstitution was unraced at two and was a spring 3-year-oldGrade l winner who came back at four to win another race atthe highest level. Constitution is represented by 15 winners to date versus 16 forthe Triple Crown winner, but with so many of AmericanPharoah's winners coming on turf and in Europe, Constitution sofar has outperformed his rival on the dirt, although he's got anup-and-coming turf colt, too. His other two stakes winners are>Rising Star= Amalfi Sunrise, winner of the Gll Sorrento S. at DelMar; and By Your Side, first in the Glll Sanford S. at Saratoga;but he's also represented by WinStar-bred Our Country, aSaratoga maiden winner on turf who came back at Belmont toplace third by 1 1/4 lengths in the Glll Pilgrim S. on turf, givingConstitution five stakes horses to date.

Breeding Patterns "Our Country got troubled trips in his last couple of starts, buthe's a very nice horse that we bred, and we're hopeful he'll runin the Breeders' Cup [Juvenile Turf]," Walden said, noting thatOur Country is out of a Tiznow mare like Tiz the Law. "It seemslike what's coming to the fore, at least initially, is that he's hadtwo good runners out of Tiznow mares and two from theUnbridled line." Amalfi Sunrise is from an Empire Maker mare and GouverneurMorris is out of a mare by Unbridled's Song. Both Tiznow, whose paternal grandsire Relaunch is a full-brother to Tapit's third dam Moon Glitter (both by In Realityfrom Foggy Note, by The Axe ll); and Unbridled, Tapit'sbroodmare sire, have had success with Tapit and some of hisfirst sons at stud, and breeders are duplicating these successfulpatterns.

Taking Stock cont.

Tapit has 11 black-type winners with Relaunch within five

generations of a mare's pedigree, and one of them was his

exported Grade ll-winning son Concord Point, who was inbred to

the siblings Moon Glitter and Relaunch 4x3. In turn, Concord

Point's best runner was Grade l winner American Gal, who

brought another strain of Relaunch to her pedigree through her

dam, creating the inbreeding pattern 5x4x4 to Moon Glitter and

Relaunch. In the case of Tapit's Grade l winner and champion

Unique Bella, she has both Relaunch and Unbridled's Song--her

broodmare sire--in her pedigree, and Unbridled is duplicated

3x3 while Moon Glitter and Relaunch are 4x5.

Tapit has seven black-type winners with Unbridled within five

generations of a mare's pedigree, and this list includes Grade I

winner Sweet Loretta (3x3 Unbridled) and Grade ll winners West

Coast Belle (3x3 Unbridled) and Tacitus (3x4 Unbridled), in

addition to Unique Bella.

Walden also noted that Constitution's graded winner By Your

Side and the impressive Belmont debut winner and >Rising Star=

Aurelia Garland are from Dixie Union mares, and that's an

interesting development because Dixie Union's broodmare sire

Capote is by Seattle Slew, who's also in Tiznow's pedigree.

Though a Seattle Slew-line sire himself through A.P. Indy, Tapit

has enjoyed success with mares that have Seattle Slew or A.P.

Indy in their pedigrees, and altogether he has at least 17

black-type winners bred this way, including Grade l winners

Tapwrit (4x4 Seattle Slew), Sweet Loretta (3x4 A.P. Indy),

Frosted (4x4 Seattle Slew), and Constitution himself (4x5 Seattle

Slew). Sons of Tapit that have had success this way include

Tapizar, with Grade l winner and champion Monomoy Girl (5x4

Seattle Slew); Constitution, with Tiz the Law (5x6x5 Seattle

Slew); Trappe Shot; and Concord Point.

When Constitution went to stud, horses like Concord Point,

Trappe Shot, champion Hansen, Tapizar, and Flashback were

Tapit's first representatives in Kentucky, but there was a

perception at the time that the Tapits weren't clicking as they

should as stallions. Aside from the useful Tapizar, Concord Point,

Trappe Shot, and Hansen have since been exported and

Flashback was sent to Pennsylvania (and belatedly was

represented earlier this month by his first Grade l winner, British

Idiom), but this year Tapit has several other promising sons on

the first-crop list in addition to Constitution. They include Darby

Dan's Tapiture at No. 8 with 15 winners, Spendthrift's Race Day

at No. 12 with four black-type winners, and Lane's End's Tonalist

at No. 15 with nine winners and more expected of his runners

next year as a Gl Belmont S. winner.

Constitution is the cream of this group, and Walden attributes

some of the horse's success on the track and at stud to

broodmare sire Distorted Humor, who he believes has calmed

some of the hot blood that Tapit tends to pass on.

"I think he brings the great quality of Distorted Humor to the

Tapit line and that gives him a great mind. His horses just seem

to have the same grit that Distorted Humor possesses. Plus,

physically, he's just such a well-balanced horse, bigger than a lot

of Tapits, and very athletic, and he's got a great family

underneath him. That [combination] is really what's separating

him from the other Tapits that have gone to stud."

If the early perception becomes hardened reality in the next

few years, in Constitution Tapit may have that top-class sire that

seems to elude so many excellent stallions.

Lady Prancealot was venturing to Kentucky Friday for the first

time since finishing 14th in last year=s GI Breeders= Cup Juvenile

Fillies Turf, but the result was far different this time as she

swept past her rivals late to post an upset while sporting the

same star-spangled worn by a number of standout runners

during co-owner Mike Iavarone=s IEAH Stables days.

Well held by pilot Joe Bravo early to bide her time towards the

back half of the field, the bay was called on for a bit more and

began to advance out wide behind six panels in 1:13.57.

Maintaining her momentum as they swung for home, she

bobbled slightly as she switched her leads, but was all business

from there as she collared pacesetting favorite Blowout in the

final sixteenth to lead home a 1-2-3 finish for European-breds.

AThis filly really came over here nice,@ Bravo said. AShe was

sharp in the paddock, looking good. She broke, breathed,

relaxed--so comfortable. We turned for home [and] she knew

what she had to do. I was just lucky enough to be the passenger

today. She saw that horse in front and she went after her.

Johnny [Velazquez, aboard Blowout] had a nice horse in front of

us, but my filly was all over it.@

Kicking her career off in England, Lady Prancealot was second

in both the Del Mar Juvenile Fillies Turf S. and Surfer Girl S. last

season, and later broke through with a first Stateside win in a

Santa Anita optional claimer in February. Cont. p12

She was third by just a head in the GIII Providencia S. back inArcadia in April, and second by a half-length behind Maxim Rate(Exchange Rate) in the GIII Senorita S. May 4. She made thegrade in the GIII Honeymoon S. over nine panels June 1, and wasa fast-finishing third behind East Coast invader and lastSaturday=s GI Queen Elizabeth II Challenge Cup S. heroineCambier Parc (Medaglia d=Oro) in the GI Del Mar Oaks Aug. 17.Lady Prancealot failed to make much of an impact when sixth inthe lucrative Jockey Club Oaks Invitational S. at Belmont Sept. 7,but had worked three times over the local lawn since then. AShe worked very well here,@ said conditioner Richard Baltas.AHer weight was good, and she had another breeze that wasreally, really good. We=ve been lucky here. These are the besthorses in the country, so we=re lucky we got her home today.@ Baltas and members of this same ownership group took the GIShadwell Turf Mile S. here last October with Next Shares(Archarcharch).

Pedigree Notes: Irish-bred Lady Prancealot=s brief career in England before herprominence in the U.S. gives her ties to three countries, just likeher sire. Sir Prancealot (Ire) entered stud in Ireland and was theEuropean champion freshman sire of 2016 before a deal wasstruck for him to shuttle to Australia in 2017. It was recentlyannounced he would reverse shuttle to Rancho San Miguel inCalifornia for the 2020 breeding season. The 9-year-old=s sevenstakes winners include American graded winners Beau Recall(Ire) and Madam Dancealot (Ire), as well as Lady Prancealot,who is the sole black-type winner for a daughter of the little-known Danzig stallion Haatef. The unraced mare Naqrah (Ire)has a half-sister to Lady Prancealot by Vadamos (Fr), who soldfor $40,452 at the recent Goffs Orby yearling sale. The mare=s2019 colt by Galileo Gold (GB) died earlier this year. Naqrah is ahalf to GSW-Fr & G1SP-UAE Baqah (Ire) (Bahhare), the dam ofGISW-US & MSW-Fr Almanaar (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}).

ROYAL CHARLOTTE MEETS UNDEFEATED

PAIR IN RAVEN RUN by Joe Bianca

Blemished just once in six starts, First Row Partners andParkland Thoroughbreds' Royal Charlotte (Cairo Prince) will takeon a pair of promising undefeated fillies, one of which comesfrom her own shedrow, in an 11-horse renewal of the GII LexusRaven Run S. Saturday at Keeneland. Opening her account Mar. 16 with a good-looking graduationat Gulfstream, the gray repeated in a muddy local allowanceApr. 19 and annexed the Hystericalady S. in her stakes bow May 27 at Monmouth. Stepped up into graded company in theGIII Victory Ride S. July 5 at Belmont, she scored a powerfulfour-length triumph, but was a no-show when finished awell-beaten sixth in the GI Longines Test S. Aug. 3 at Saratoga.

Back down in class slightly in the GII Prioress S. Aug. 31 at theSpa, she got back on track with a 1 1/2-length score in hertypical stalk-and-pounce style. The Chad Brown trainee breaksfrom the tricky rail post, and will be ridden by Tyler Gaffalionefor the first time. Chief among her competition is 'TDN Rising Star' barnmateIndian Pride (Proud Citizen). Bet like a good thing at 3-5 off astrong worktab Aug. 28 at Saratoga, the Brereton Joneshomebred did not disappoint, easily making the lead and takingthem all the way for an eight-length romp. The bay has drilledfive times since, including a pair of local half-mile breezes in :48flat Oct. 6 and 13. Also unbeaten is First Star (First Dude), wholooks to give her sire back-to-back winners of the Raven Run(Shamrock Rose, 2018). Belying odds of 27-1 to score in her 6 1/2-furlong unveiling July 20 at Del Mar, the chestnutsustained that late punch when stretching out to a mile to annexan optional claimer there Aug. 23. Two graded stakes winners turning back in distance to thisseven-furlong trip loom large as well. Three Chimneys Farm andFern Circle Stables' Restless Rider (Distorted Humor) capturedthe GI Darley Alcibiades S. at this oval last fall and missed by aneck in the local GI Central Bank Ashland S. Apr. 6. Last seenrunning 12th in the GI Kentucky Oaks, the gray returns with ahandful of sharp breezes, including an eye-popping half-milespin in :45 3/5 (1/99) Sept. 21 at Churchill. New Jersey-bredHorologist (Gemologist), upset victress of the GIII MonmouthOaks Aug. 17, was a solid third at 21-1 after chasing a torridpace in the GI Cotillion S., and makes her initial start for trainerRichard Baltas after being conditioned by John Mazza for herfirst 11 outings.

BREEDERS= CUP BULLETIN: OCT. 18 ! GI Breeders= Cup F/M Sprint contender Covfefe (Into

Mischief) covered six panels at Churchill Downs in 1:12.20. The

GI Test S. heroine worked in splits of :12.40, :24.60, :36.60, :48

and :59.80 under exercise rider Fernando Espinoza. She galloped

out seven furlongs in 1:25.40 and completed the work with a

one-mile time of 1:40.60, according to Churchill Downs clocker

John Nichols.

AShe=s a naturally fast filly and today=s work was very strong on

all accounts,@ trainer Brad Cox said. AShe galloped out very

strong around the turn and that was by design. She worked six

furlongs but started at the five-furlong pole. It was a very strong

move.@

! >TDN Rising Star= Dennis= Moment (Tiznow) prepped for the

GI Breeders= Cup Juvenile with a best-of-65 five panels in :58.60

beneath the Twin Spires. The GIII Iroquois S. romper went in

splits of :11.80, :23.40, 35 and :46.80 with a six-furlong gallop

out of 1:11.40 before concluding his work with a seven-furlong

time of 1:25.80.

AWe actually tried to slow him down today,@ trainer Dale

Romans said. AYou know, fast horses work fast. We had him with

the outrider (Greg Blasi) and Tammy didn=t break off until he

was right at the pole to try to make him slow down. We tried to

outsmart him but he seems to be smarter than us. He=s going to

work fast no matter what.@

Dennis= Moment is scheduled to fly to California Sunday at 10

a.m. and will have one breeze at Santa Anita prior to the World

Championships.

! Other Breeders= Cup workers at Churchill Downs Friday

include Andesite (The Factor) (five furlongs, 1:01.60, Juvenile

Turf); British Idiom (Flashback) (five furlongs, 1:01.60, Juvenile

Fillies); and Peace Achieved (Declaration of War) (five furlongs,

:59.60, Juvenile Turf). Whitmore (Pleasantly Perfect) blitzed a

half-mile in :46.80. His Breeders= Cup status remains in flux,

according to trainer Ron Moquett. GI Kentucky Oaks victress

Serengeti Empress (Alternation) was scheduled to work Friday,

but trainer Tom Amoss was diagnosed with appendicitis late

Thursday night and pushed her work back.

! GI Claiborne Breeders= Futurity S. winner Maxfield (Street

Sense) breezed a half-mile at Keeneland in :48.60 (16/62) Friday

morning with Paul Madden aboard. The undefeated BC Juvenile

contender posted fractions of :12.60, :25, :48.60 and out five

furlongs in 1:01.60 (video). Cont. p14

Maxfield | Coady

Breeders= Cup Bulletin cont.

AHe was good and relaxed,@ trainer Brendan Walsh said. AIt

was just a little maintenance move to stretch his legs. You could

tell he wanted to do somethingthe last couple of days.@

Walsh said the plan now is for Maxfield to work an easy

half-mile again next Friday, Oct. 25, and ship to Santa Anita early

the following morning. The conditioner will also bring Vitalogy

(GB) (No Nay Never) for the BC Juvenile Turf.

! Two-time GI Juddmonte Spinster S. victress Blue Prize (Arg)

(Pure Prize) prepped for the BC Distaff with a four-furlong move

in :49.40 (40/62) at Keeneland under Joe Bravo. She went in

splits of :25, :49.40 and out five furlongs in 1:02. (video)

! GI Spinaway S. heroine Perfect Alibi (Sky Mesa) worked five

panels in 1:02.60 (17/18) at Keeneland with a six-furlong gallop

out in 1:16 flat under Tyler Gaffalione. She is aiming for the BC

Juvenile Fillies.

AWe were happy with that,@ said Allen Hardy, who is

overseeing Mark Casse=s Keeneland string. AShe likes this track

and Mark said he would leave her here with me since I was with

her this spring when she got to Churchill Downs. She will

probably go over there (to Louisville) the next couple days and

then fly out to California on the 26th.@

! GI Natalma S. winner and BC Juvenile Fillies Turf runner

Abscond (Blame) went a half-mile in company in :48.80 (23/62),

galloping out five panels in 1:02.20 at Keeneland.

AWe are taking it day by day and today the track was in great

shape,@ conditioner Eddie Kenneally said. AShe went super. She

will probably have one more breeze next Friday and fly out on

the 26th.@

! GII Thoroughbred Club of America S. runner-up Dawn the

Destroyer (Speightstown) covered four furlongs in :48.20 (9/62)

at Keeneland with Roger Horgan aboard. The F/M Sprint runner

posted fractions of :24.20, :48.20and galloped out five furlongs

in 1:02.20 (video).

AShe did it the right way and had a nice, honest gallop-out,@

Horgan said of Dawn the Destroyer, who is scheduled to ship to

Santa Anita Oct. 29. AMaybe she will have one more work next

week. She is pretty fit. Kiaran [McLaughlin] asked me how she

was doing and I told him she was doing well. He said to go ahead

and work. If we have to, we can do somethingelse next Friday or

Saturday.@

! GI Breeders= Cup Classic-bound Vino Rosso (Curlin) was

among trainer Todd Pletcher=s Friday workers at Belmont. He

covered five eighths in 1:01.58 (2/12) over the training track.

"I thought he worked great," said Pletcher. "He finished up

strongly and galloped out very strong. Everything has gone

according to our plan and schedule. He seems to be thriving at

the moment so we're happy with him."

! There are still a couple weeks until the Breeders= Cup, but

GI Turf Sprint hopeful Pure Sensation (Zensational) turned in his

final serious work for the race Friday, stopping the clock in :48

flat (8/36) over the Belmont main track.

"He worked very well. I'm very happy," conditioner Christophe

Clement said of the 8-year-old. "It was a nice work, very willing,

very sound. He won't work between now and the race, by

design. I don't like to work him too close to the race."

ST PATRICK=S DAY TO STAND AT JOURNEYMAN St. Patrick=s Day (Pioneerof the Nile--Littleprincessemma, by

Yankee Gentleman), the 4-year-old full-brother to Triple Crown

winner American Pharoah, will enter stud at Journeyman Stud in

Ocala for 2020. He will stand as property of a syndicate that

includes Climax Stallions, Stonehedge Farm and Journeyman

Stud for a fee of $5,000 live foal.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

St. Patrick=s Day cont.

A $2.1-million in utero purchase by Jane Lyon=s Summer Wind

Farm at the 2014 FTKNOV sale, the bay colt was privately

purchased by Coolmore and made two starts for Hall of Famer

Bob Baffert, breaking his maiden at second asking. Transferred

to Aidan O=Brien, he finished second in the G3 Renaissance S.

and retired with $69,300 in earnings.

AI trained three siblings, all Grade I performers,@ Baffert said.

ASt. Patrick=s Day undoubtedly showed that same type of talent

when he broke his maiden going :21 and :44 in his second start.@

In addition to American Pharoah, St. Patrick=s Day is a half-

sibling to Grade I winner Chasing Yesterday (Tapit), also trained

by Baffert.

AI can=t express how excited we are to have St. Patrick=s Day

here at Journeyman,@ Journeyman=s Brent Fernung said. AI want

to thank Sean Feld of Climax Stallions for approaching us with

this outstanding prospect. With his pedigree and talented, but

abbreviated race record, St. Patrick=s Day reminds me of Khozan

and I think, like Khozan, he=ll benefit from these tough Florida

mares. Having Stonehedge Farm and Journeyman among his

ownership group guarantees that St. Patrick=s Day will have a

great book of mares.@

LETTER TO THE EDITOR: ANN HANLEY Dear friends and especially Tom and Katie Ryan,

Thank you for your wonderful support for the Ann Hanley

Parkinson's Research Fund. Tom and Katie ran their socks off to

raise $125K for the gofundme page and every cent raised goes

to helping Dr. Craig van Horne and his team at UK continue with

their groundbreaking work to find a cure for this disease.

I always believed that a cure was a Apipe dream@ and to live

with an incurable disease is more than a death sentence...it=s a

living nightmare; that is, until the research at UK, a

one-of-a-kind surgical intervention, implanting nerve grafts into

target areas of the brain to kick start the repair mechanism

started to show positive results.

We are still a ways off from our goal to cure this disease, but

now there is hope and more--so much more. When we the

patients had nothing--no future to look forward to--plans gone

up in smoke, lives disrupted in a landscape of despair, we now

have hope and hope is everything. It keeps us steady and

moving forward.

Each of you who contributed to the cause has literally saved a

life. What an amazing achievement! Congratulations to you all

and a big heartfelt thank you.

Editor=s Note: Tom and Katie Ryan raised over $125,000 for

the Ann Hanley Parkin=s Research Fund at the University of

Kentucky by raising donations to support their run in the Fall

Foliage Half Marathon in Rhinebeck, NY. Further donations to

the cause may be sent to: Ann Hanley Parkinson=s Research,

2605 Payne=s Mill Rd., Versailles, KY, 40383.

Brad Cox unveils a half-brother to his champion pupil

Monomoy Girl (Tapizar) in MR. MONOMOY (Palace Malice) at

Keeneland Saturday. The bay was purchased for just $60,000 as

a KEENOV weanling, well before his talented sister rattled off

wins in the GI Central Bank Ashland S., GI Kentucky Oaks,

WICKLOW BRAVE HEADS GRAND NATIONAL

FIELDby Don Clippinger

Trainer Willie Mullins has referred to Wicklow Bloodstock

Ltd.'s Wicklow Brave (GB) (Beat Hollow {GB}) as "utterly

unique," and so he is.

The probable favorite in Saturday's GI Grand National at the

Far Hills Races in New Jersey, Ireland-based Wicklow Brave has

done it all. He has won a Group 1 race on the flat, he has won a

Group 1 hurdle race, and he now is conquering steeplechase

fences in a career that has banked more than $1.3-million for

Wicklow Bloodstock's Nick Peacock.

His career purses more than double those of his 11 opponents

in the 2 5/8-mile Grand National, including Sideways Stable's

Jury Duty (Ire) (Well Chosen {GB}), who is returning to America

for a shot at a second Grand National win after last year's 3 1/4-

length victory.

Wicklow Brave, now 10, heads an international contingent that

makes up half of the Grand National field, either based overseas

or making their first Stateside start for American owners and

their new trainers.

Heading the American contingent is Bruton Street-US's

Scorpiancer (Ire) (Scorpion {Ire}), the 2017 Eclipse Award winner

who is likely to be the third betting choice behind Wicklow

Brave and Jury Duty.

While Gordon Elliott-trained Jury Duty has struggled to find his

best form this year, Wicklow Brave has moved bravely into his

third major discipline with aplomb. He was always meant to race

over fences, but he had sufficient speed to go long, very long, on

Page 29: Catholic Boy FROM BREEDERS CUP - thoroughbreddailynews.com · She faces three-strong representations from the Jessica Harrington and Aidan O=Brien stables, headed by the latter=s

TDN NORTH AMERICAN • PAGE 2 OF 11 • THETDN.COM SATURDAY • OCTOBER 19, 2019

the flat.

Mullins readily mixed some flat starts with the hurdle racing,

and Wicklow Brave won the G1 Palmerstown House Irish St.

Leger in 2016 after a third-place finish the previous year.

The following spring, he won the G1 Betdaq Punchestown Irish

Champion Hurdle before a fourth in the Irish St. Leger and

unplaced finishes in the G1 BMW Caulfield Cup and G1 Emirates

Melbourne Cup in Australia.

After a third in this year's Irish Champion Hurdle, Mullins sent

Wicklow Brave over steeplechase fences, and the result was a

victory in Galway's Guinness Open Gate Brewery Steeplechase.

Paul Townend, who has ridden him to three straight wins over

chase fences, will be in the saddle for the Grand National.

Jury Duty was put away after his Grand National victory last

October and, after an initial win, tried the really big fences at

Aintree in the G1 Grand National, in which he unseated jockey

Robbie Power. He was pulled up in the G1 Irish Grand National

and finished sixth in Gowran Park's PWC Champion Steeplechase

on Oct. 5. Also coming out of that race is Elliott-trained The

Storyteller (Ire) (Shantou).

American trainer Jack Fisher has all but locked up the 2019

titles by wins and earnings, with more than $1-million in the

bank, and he used Belmont Park's GI Lonesome Glory Handicap

as a prep race for Scorpiancer's march to the Grand National.

The 10-year-old won the GI Calvin Houghland Iroquois for the

second time in May and was given the summer off. He returned

in the Lonesome Glory and finished a tiring fifth, which should

tighten him a notch for the Grand National.

Also in the Grand National field is the Lonesome Glory winner,

Wendy Hendriks' Surprising Soul (Perfect Soul {Ire}), who

usually runs well and was a seriously overlooked 17.60-to-1 at

Belmont, even after finishing second, a length behind

Scorpiancer, in the Iroquois.

Racing Hall of Fame trainer Jonathan Sheppard never is to be

overlooked, and he is bringing back Hudson River Farms'

Iranistan (Einstein {Brz}) in the year's toughest spot. Iranistan

breezed through his first three jumps starts last year and was

favored in Saratoga Race Course's GI A. P. Smithwick Memorial,

in which he finished second, and the GI New York Turf Writers

Cup, in which he was third.

HIDDEN FACTS (f, 3, The Factor--Mystic City {MSW, $349,621},

by City Zip) may have taken seven tries to break her maiden, but

when she did in a front-running score going six panels over

Belmont=s lawn against her elders last out Sept. 22, she did it in

style with an 85 Beyer Speed Figure in a blazing 1:07.91. Off at

6-1 to make it two in a row, the bay came six wide off the turn

from mid-pack and wore down the leader while simultaneously

holding off closer Lead Guitar (Maclean=s Music). The margin of

victory was a scant head. Dam Mystic City has unraced juvenile

Silver Ratio (Liam=s Map), who brought $320,000 at last year=s

BAYERNESS (f, 2, Bayern--Weight No More, by Pure Prize), a

$350,000 EASMAY purchase after breezing an eighth in :10 1/5,

had been working well for this unveiling, including a :47 2/5 half-

mile (2/60) at Keeneland Oct. 12. In mid-pack, the chestnut hit

traffic coming off the turn and shifted to the center of the track.

She switched leads belatedly and drifted in greenly, but finished

well clear to win by 4 1/4 lengths over favored Jilted Bride

(Wicked Strong). Bayerness paid $9.40 as the 14th winner for

her freshman sire (by Offlee Wild). A half to a yearling colt by

Bodemeister who sold for just $4,000 last month at KEESEP,

THE PATH NOT TAKEN (GB) (f, 2, Sea The Stars {Ire}--Umniyah

while facing 11 rivals. A bit headstrong rounding the first turn,

she settled into fifth while saving ground through a half mile in

:49.24. Irad Ortiz Jr. tipped her out to the five path at the top of

the stretch, and, after ducking in following a right-handed

reminder shortly thereafter, The Path Not Taken straightened

course and quickened impressively to reel in New Day Dawning

(Medaglia d=Oro) by 1 3/4 lengths. The winner=s dam had a colt

Jersey Town (Jersey Town) went with him down the stretch and

nearly caught him, but Ah Yeah switched leads just before the

ALL BRACED FORCHAMPIONS DAY

By Tom Frary

Ascot=s preparation for the latest QIPCO British Champions Day

has proven particularly difficult in light of the frequent deluges,

but on Saturday all that will fade into memory as the amassed

throng anticipate five division clashes from six furlongs to almost

two miles. Since this concept was born at Newmarket in 1997, it

is fair to say that the moniker has not always delivered what it

promises with it being so close to the hallowed G1 Prix de l=Arc

de Triomphe and staged so often on rain-eased autumn ground.

Moving to its current base in 2011, it was blessed with the

perfect launch as Frankel (GB) ran amok and his subsequent G1

QIPCO Champion S. swansong in 2012 bestowed even more

initial grandeur on the project. Subsequently the fixture has

proven more an end-of-season celebration than a consistent

coronation of the principals of the various distance categories,

but even so that is more than welcome for its many followers.

This year, the fact that there is only one of the leading seven

European turf performers on World Rankings in attendance is

due to either retirement or the star turns of the grass being

targeted elsewhere.

GOFFS RELEASES BREEDING STOCK SALE

CATALOGUE The Goffs November Breeding Stock Sale has solidified its

status as a Classic-producing sale, having handled the

transactions of the dams of Romanised (Ire) (Holy Roman

Emperor {Ire}), Harzand (Ire) (Sea The Stars {Ire}) and Kew

Gardens (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) in its more recent history, and the

catalogue for the latest edition of the sale at the Kills Paddocks

on Nov. 21 and 22 is online.

Flourishing broodmare sire Galileo (Ire) has 19 fillies and

mares catalogued, and those are joined by stock by the likes of

Danehill Dancer (Ire) and his own sire, Danehill; Dansili (GB),

Dark Angel (Ire), Dubawi (Ire), Green Desert, Invincible Spirit

(Ire), Montjeu (Ire), Oasis Dream (GB), Pivotal (GB), Sadler=s

Wells, Sea The Stars (Ire) and Shamardal. Buyers will also have

the opportunity to secure mares carrying to the first crops of the

likes of Saxon Warrior (Jpn), Sioux Nation, U S Navy Flag and

Benbatl | Racing Post

All Braced For Champions Day cont. from p1

It seems that in 2019 QIPCO Champions Day has lost out to

ParisLongchamp, but there are nonetheless reasons to be

cheerful looking ahead to what has quickly become a national

institution. The one top-10 horse in the Longines Best Racehorse

Rankings to race on Saturday belongs, unsurprisingly, to

Godolphin. In a year that has poured good fortune on the

operation at most turns, >TDN Rising Star= Benbatl (GB) (Dubawi

{Ire}) has surged back on to the main stage with an emphatic

five-length success under a penalty in Newmarket=s G2 Joel S.

Sept. 27. That demonstrative

performance matched his

previous effort all the way

back in October when

getting within two lengths of

Winx (Aus) (Street Cry {Ire})

in Moonee Valley=s

G1 Cox Plate.

Few if any of Saturday=s

protagonists throughout the

card could hope to get so

close to the Australian

legend, so the G1 Queen

Elizabeth II S. is at his mercy

on form at least. However,

as all are aware, these races

are never won on paper and

opponents of Saeed bin Suroor=s great hope would point to the

fact that he came to this venue as favourite for last year=s

G1 Queen Anne S. at the Royal meeting and trailed in 10th. One

major obstacle to the 5-year-old is the testing ground and it

could even lead to his withdrawal according to his trainer.

ABenbatl won nicely at Newmarket on his latest start and has

done well since. I have been pleased with his work but we know

that he doesn=t like heavy ground--he ran on it once at Haydock

and didn=t enjoy it at all,@ he said of one of only two Godolphin

runners on the card, both of whom represent the Bin Suroor

stable. AWe have declared him and will check the ground at

Ascot on Saturday.@

As October draws on and the nights draw in, soft ground

becomes almost an inevitability but brilliance on easy conditions

is still brilliance in its own right and anything can happen with it

riding like this. While Asoft@ is seen often even during the

summer in Europe, this kind of surface is for the specialists. One

who fits into that niche is The Revenant (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}),

who has been shown the way with genuine guile this term by

trainer Francis-Henri Graffard. Al Asayl=s 4-year-old, who has

turned a corner since a much-needed gelding operation at the

end of last year, keeps delivering in 2018 and arrives at the QEII

with confidence at an all-time high after wins in Saint-Cloud=s

Mar. 10 Listed Prix Altipan and Mar. 30 G3 Prix Edmond Blanc,

the May 30 G3 Badener Meile and the G2 Prix Daniel

Wildenstein at ParisLongchamp on Arc Saturday. Jockey Pierre-

Charles Boudot is just about the hottest property in his

profession at the moment and the sensation of Arc weekend has

the potential to enhance his reputation here also.

Graffard, whose Channel (Ire) (Nathaniel {Ire}) and Watch Me

(Fr) (Olympic Glory {Ire}) have provided Group 1 glory for the

stable this season, is hopeful The Revenant can hold his own.

AEverything is good and I am very

happy with the horse=s condition,@

he said. AWe know the ground will

not be a problem for him and we are

looking forward to the race. It is a

step up, but we don=t have much

option and we are very happy to be

running in this race.@

Boudot will hope to get the ball

rolling in the first race with Lael

Stable=s dual G1 Prix de la Foret

heroine One Master (GB) (Fastnet

Rock {Aus}) in the G1 QIPCO British

Champions Sprint S., whose three

outings in October throughout her

career have yielded three wins.

Reverting to six furlongs for the first

time since the G3 Ballyogan S. last June, the William Haggas-

trained mare has underfoot conditions to help her keep tabs on

the fast Group 1 sprint winners Advertise (GB) (Showcasing

{GB}) and Hello Youmzain (Fr) (Kodiac {GB}) and the Irish

fairytale prospect Make a Challenge (Ire) (Invincible Spirit {Ire}).

AI think she=ll enjoy the ground and she seems very well since

winning the Foret,@ Haggas said of One Master. AWe=re coming

back in trip, but if they go hard and fade hopefully she=ll be

finishing strongly. The 13-day gap between her races is not ideal,

but she=s had only four runs and likes soft ground.@

Of all the underdogs on the card, Make a Challenge would

have been the most unlikely less than a month ago as he ran

respectably but was beaten in The Curragh=s ABold Lad@ H. but

he has subsequently jumped up the ratings with two dynamic

wins to force the hand of connections. The latest of those came

by 4 1/2 lengths in Sunday=s Listed Waterford Testimonial S. also

at The Curragh and he will again be partnered by Joe Doyle who

had retired from the saddle in the summer.

HE HAS THE POTENTIAL TO PUT IT UP

TO STRADIVARIUS, ESPECIALLY WITH

THE GROUND LOOKING LIKE IT’S GOING

TO BE VERY SOFT.Donnacha O’Brien on Kew Gardens

Champions Day cont.

AI=m excited and nervous. We=ll see how we go,@ trainer Denis

Hogan said of the remarkably progressive 4-year-old, whose

handicap mark has risen from 66 to 111 this season. AIt=s a big

ask and a step up in class, but he deserves to be there. I=m

happy with the ground, the draw and the jockey and I=m very

happy with the horse.@

Commercial concerns aside, the clash between Stradivarius

(Ire) (Sea the Stars {Ire}) and Kew Gardens (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) in

the G2 QIPCO British Champions Long Distance Cup is the race

of the day with Bjorn Nielsen=s all-conquering chestnut having to

cope with unfavourable ground again. It failed to hinder his

progress at the Royal meeting and at Goodwood, but this time

he faces a rival whose every step in his career so far seems to

have led to this moment. Successful in last year=s G1 St Leger

and G1 Grand Prix de Paris, Kew Gardens was on course for a

meeting with the Gosden staying supremo in the G1 Gold Cup

before injury intervened and his staying power remains

unknown. His effort when second after a lengthy lay-off in the

G1 Irish St Leger at The Curragh Sept. 15 was highly creditable

and jockey Donnacha O=Brien is exuding confidence.

AStradivarius has shown he=s the dominant stayer in Europe,

but the only one that could possibly give him something to think

about would be Kew Gardens, I suppose,@ he said. AHe has very

high-class form over a mile and a half and a mile and six furlongs

and he ran a very good race in the Irish Leger off a very slow

pace. He has the potential to put it up to Stradivarius, especially

with the ground looking like it=s going to be very soft. Hopefully

he=s got a big chance, because he could even improve for his run

at The Curragh, while Stradivarius has had a hard summer.

Those staying races take it out of you, even though he=s been

winning them easy.@

Magna Grecia | Racing Post

Champions Day cont.

Kew Gardens is one of six representatives of Galileo, who since

this meeting was shifted to Ascot and re-launched can boast

seven winners of the feature races. That is five clear of his son

Frankel (GB) and also Dubawi (Ire) and Pivotal (GB), and there

are some big prices among his 2019 contingent which include his

fast-improving 3-year-old daughter Delphinia (Ire) in the

G1 QIPCO British Champions Fillies & Mares S. His most likely

chance rests with Magical (Ire) in the G1 QIPCO Champion S.,

but whereas Galileo has the edge in sire terms John Gosden and

Frankie Dettori are the occasion=s dominant pairing and combine

in the main event with Coronet (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}). Magical and

Coronet met here 12 months ago, when the former prevailed by

a length in the Fillies & Mares but Denford Stud=s homebred

endured an exaggerated wide trip giving her year-younger rival

six pounds due to weight-for-age on that occasion.

While the Champion is a far-from-vintage affair, the QEII at

least has the G1 English and Irish 2000 Guineas winners taking

on Benbatl and The Revenant, as well as the last two winners of

the G1 Queen Anne S. and a G1 Falmouth S. scorer in Veracious

(GB) (Frankel {GB}). Even without Romanised (Ire) (Holy Roman

Emperor {Ire}), Circus Maximus (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) and Too Darn

Hot (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}), this is teed up for a potential miling

champion to emerge in a division that has remained open all

year. Magna Grecia (Ire) (Invincible Spirit {Ire}) was last seen

finishing fifth in the May 25 Irish 2000 Guineas, having asserted

his superiority over King of Change (GB) (Farhh {GB}) in the

Newmarket Classic three weeks earlier but Donnacha O=Brien

was sounding confident as he looked ahead to the challenge.

AI wouldn=t mind a bit of juice in the ground for Magna Grecia,@

he commented. AObviously we don=t know how bad it=s going to

be yet. By the sounds of it, it=s going to be pretty bad and ideally

you wouldn=t want it to be heavy for any top-class horse. He=ll

probably get through it better than some, though. I wouldn=t be

as worried about it for him as some of the others.@

Tony Wechsler and Ann Plummer=s Irish Guineas hero Phoenix

of Spain (Ire) (Lope de Vega {Ire}) is now winless in three

subsequent starts, but James Doyle said he thinks this change to

the straight track could reignite his fire. AWe=re looking for him

to bounce back to his Irish Guineas form and he hasn=t been

beaten that far since,@ he said. AHe has a big, long stride and I

definitely see Ascot as a track he will like. He has performed well

with cut underfoot and this is one of the most open races of the

day.@

Doyle said he was happy that more rain arrived during the

early hours of Friday morning for Sheikh Ahmed bin Rashid Al

Maktoum=s Addeybb (Ire) (Pivotal {GB}) as he returns to the

meeting at which he was a disappointing 12th of 13 in the QEII

last year. Ideally, the Champion S. gamble would want it as

heavy as it was when beating Pondus (GB) (Sea the Moon {Ger})

in the G3 Rose of Lancaster S. at Haydock last time Aug. 10. His

rider underlined that on Friday. AHe loves it borderline

unraceable,@ he said. AFor him, it=s a shame they switched to the

inner track as he would have preferred it and it would have

hindered the others. I=m sure it=s still going to be testing and it=s

starting to look like a mile and a quarter is the right trip for him.

It=s a funny one, because if you had told me at the start of the

season that he would be almost favourite for the Champion S. it

would have been hard to believe, but with ground conditions as

they are it brings him right into the mix. He=s very

straightforward and is tactically versatile, which is a big bonus.@

Oisin Murphy, who will be crowned champion jockey, is back

on Deirdre (Jpn), whose sire Harbinger (GB) put up one of the

all-time great Ascot performances in the 2010 King George, in

the Champion. Her defeat of the re-opposing Mehdaayih (GB)

(Frankel {GB}) in the G1 Nassau S. at Goodwood Aug. 1 and

unlucky fourth in the Sept. 14 G1 Irish Champions S. at

Leopardstown came on a livelier surface and Murphy is aware of

the challenge. AShe=ll want the ground as firm as possible to

show her best running,@ he commented. AShe couldn=t be in

better form and if she does go on the ground she will definitely

have a winning chance. It=s a question mark for sure, but the

team have done a phenomenal job on her.@

Interestingly, Juddmonte are represented by only two runners

THUNDER ROLLS OUT BOOK THREE FINALEBy Emma Berry

NEWMARKET, UK--One visitor to Tattersalls on Friday

observed that it was like being in a popular holiday resort out of

season. Certainly the atmosphere was less charged than that

sustained during the buzz of Books 1 and 2, but a fresh crowd

had arrived in Newmarket for the second half of the week and

there was still plenty of activity around the sales ground, albeit

at a more modified level. Cont. p7

Lot 1739, Night of Thunder colt | Tattersalls

John Hassett | Tattersalls

Tattersalls October--Friday cont.

Among the diehards who had weathered the full fortnight--

and that required full waterproofs on many days, as the rash of

race abandonments across England and a sloppy Champions Day

will attest to--there were of course still most of the main

breeze-up crew present along with a decent sprinkling of

trainers.

Of the former, Johnny Hassett provided the day's financial

highlight, when having the final wave of the catalogue at

75,000gns for lot 1739. Thunder rumbled loudly across the

Newmarket sky during the afternoon, but Night Of Thunder (Ire)

has been rumbling away all season long to amass an impressive

array of first-crop winners, currently heading the European

freshman list with 25 chalked up. Members of his next batch

have been unsurprisingly popular throughout the yearling sale

season and it was one of these which led the final session of

Book 3.

Ai15,000 pinhook at Fairyhouse by County Antrim-based

Beechvale Stud, the son of the unraced Bahriya (Ire) (Dalakhani

{Ire}) brought a smile to the face of Tara Armstrong, who has

nurtured him through the last 10 months with her father Trevor

and brother Chris and led him through the ring.

"Chris picked him out but he couldn't be here today as he

works in the office at Ballydoyle--hopefully he was watching,"

said Trevor Armstrong. "He was a nice, scopey foal and he has

done well. Dalakhani is a top broodmare sire and Night Of

Thunder has been on fire, too."

Despite the popularity of the sire, it was the colt's damsire

who was of particular appeal to Hassett, who said, "I've bought

two yearlings out of Dalakhani mares before. One went from

30,000gns to 200,000gns and the other went from 29,000gns to

160,000gns, so Dalakhani mares were my own little niche, until

Pinatubo came along."

Bahriya may have no racing record of which to boast, and only

one foal before this in her fledgling broodmare career but she

has origins of some note in the Aga Khan Studs. Her dam

Behkiyra (Ire) (Entrepreneur {GB}) was a listed winner in Ireland

and is herself out of the champion racemare Behera (Ire) (Mill

Reef).

Hassett added of his new colt, "He's by the right sire, too, and I

just think he looks like a quick horse. He'll go to whichever sale

fits in best with his preparation. I don't make those calls until

just before the catalogues come out. I like to see how they're

going first. It's been very difficult buying this week; the market is

very strong, which is great. It's a solid and very discerning

market."

If you're looking for Joe Foley at Tattersalls, the chances are

you'll find him in the chute, ringside, rarely taking his eye off the

proceedings just beyond the rope. His diligent singularity has led

him to unearth plenty of well-bought individuals for his principal

patron Steve Parkin, and the duo will be hoping that another

successful bearer of the all-grey Clipper Logistics silks next

season will be lot 1693, the sole filly by Ajaya (GB) in Book 3.

Compromised by poor fertility, the 2015 Gimcrack S. winner

served only one season at Rathbarry Stud, which consigned the

filly, before time had to be called on his second career. He has

around 60 yearlings on the ground to give him a chance that his

name might be remembered a while yet.

After buying the filly for 55,000gns, Foley said, "I like the idea

of Ajaya. He was a very fast horse and I was there the day he

won the Gimcrack. We were an underbidder on the

[session-topping] filly by Territories yesterday and they are both

sons of Invincible Spirit, who has had such a good year as a sire

of sires.

"We are big fans of Giant's Causeway mares, and this filly is

from a fast family and has been very well prepared, as always,

by Rathbarry. Both myself and Federico Barberini liked her."

Paul Cashman bred the filly at Rathbarry Stud from

Thousandfold, whose first foal Kazan (Shanghai Bobby) was

runner-up in last year's GII Del Mar Derby, having been sold at

October Book 2 as a yearling for 240,000gns.

"We bought the mare in-foal to Shanghai Bobby and she has

done really well for us," said Cashman. "She had a filly foal by

Acclamation this spring and is in-foal to James Garfield. Ajaya's

stock have been pleasing and this filly is a lovely model. It is such

a shame he had issues with his fertility."

Trimmed by about 50 lots this year, figures for Book 3 retained

almost identical levels to those posted 12 months ago. The

median was unmoved at 10,000gns, as was the 80% clearance

rate. There was an upward flicker of difference in the average

price of 16,147gns, while the 434 yearlings sold (38 fewer than

last year) combined to bring a final count of 7,007,900gns (-8%).

After withdrawals, around 100 yearlings will be offered on

Saturday morning by way of a truncated Book 4. They include lot

2059, The Glanvilles Stud's Sixties Icon (GB) half-sister to last

weekend's G3 Oh So Sharp S. third Separate (GB) (Cable Bay

{Ire}).

The timing of this particular section of the sale will continue to

be debated but in a packed autumn sales schedule in Europe,

and with the October Sale being hedged in by major race

meetings at Newmarket and Ascot, room for manoeuvre is

scant. Furthermore, the demand for yearling sale places from

breeders remains way beyond the current provision.

This low-key session will bring the curtain down on the October

Sale, with the action switching to Deauville next week for

Arqana's four-day October Sale, which begins on Tuesday.

UNI'S BC BID LATEST VINDICATION FOR

EURO VENTURE by Chris McGrath

Their subsequent dealings make it seem very apt that Nicolasde Watrigant and Bradley Weisbord first sealed their friendshipthrough a migrant as effective as Mshawish (Medaglia d'Oro).Both men shared a patron, either side of the Atlantic, in AlShaqab--and when that operation switched Mshawish to ToddPletcher from Mikel Dezangles, for whom he had finished fourthin the G1 Prix du Jockey Club, de Watrigant naturally wanted tostay on top of his progress. After all, he had found Mshawish fori170,000 at the Arqana breeze-ups (as a celebrated $10,000Keeneland pinhook by Johnny Collins). Mshawish proceeded towin Grade Is on both turf and dirt and, meanwhile discovering astrong personal affinity, de Watrigant and Weisbord began toask each other whether they might replicate that success forother clients.

Uni=s BC Bid cont.

The results have been pretty spectacular, with Uni (GB) (More

Than Ready) heading to the GI Breeders' Cup Mile after her

recent success in the GI First Lady S. at Keeneland--a race won

last year, moreover, by another European export recommended

by de Watrigant, A Raving Beauty (Ger) (Mastercraftsman {Ire}).

These two elite scorers are among no fewer than seven to have

been at least graded-stakes-placed from just 17 horses acquired

between the founder of Mandore International and Weisbord's

BSW Bloodstock since 2016. Another four have either won or

placed at stakes level.

All but one of the 17 have been fillies. The solitary exception is

Rockemperor (Ire) (Holy Roman Emperor {Ire}), who was third in

the GI Belmont Derby this summer on his first start for Chad

Brown, as another to have run very well in the Prix du Jockey

Club for his previous connections.

Since Simone Brogi had originally given just i12,000 for

Rockemperor at the Arqana breeze-ups, a good profit was

plainly banked. But while prices have evidently been going up,

even in the relatively short span of their partnership, Weisbord

and de Watrigant have been getting top value, too. A Raving

Beauty, for instance, was acquired for i230,000 in a private

sale after failing to meet her reserve at the Arqana December

Sale in 2017--and was sold on to Japan, within the year, for $2-

million at the Fasig-Tipton November Sale, straight after her

close third in the Breeders' Cup Filly & Mare Turf.

"We stole that filly," says de Watrigant with a smile. "She was

second in a Group 1 [Premio Lydia Tesio] a few weeks previous

to the sale, but she was selling as a broodmare prospect so

maybe people thought she wasn't sound. Anyway I called Brad

right away and said this was the filly, for the first time ever I said

we had to keep shares. I went down [to the Monceaux

consignment] after she was unsold at i220,000, and 10 minutes

after we did the deal they were taking calls and had to say:

'Sorry, Nicolas has already bought her.'"

A Raving Beauty resurfaced to win a Grade III at Belmont the

following May and then won the GI Just A Game S. at Belmont.

"It was the same day Justify won the Triple Crown," recalls de

Watrigant. "Apart from my wedding and my kids' births, that

was the best day of my life."

"This was a really special horse," agrees Weisbord. "Because

number one, I'd never heard Nic say we have to keep a share in

one, so we own 25% together; and number two, he was able to

come over, experience Justify, and walk A Raving Beauty into

the winner's circle. For him to do that, not only as agent but as

part-owner, it saw the whole program come together."

Whereas A Raving Beauty arrived with plenty of miles on the

clock, Uni had already been scouted--in her case at a much

earlier stage, having just won her first stake as a 3-year-old.

Significantly, while hardly the most imposing of fillies, Uni

made such an immediate impression on Chad Brown that he

departed from his standard practice.

"Chad usually takes his time off the plane, like he did with A

Raving Beauty, he's a master at that," Weisbord says. "But when

Uni breezed first time on the turf at Belmont, with an older filly,

he turned and said: 'We got a new shooter in the division.' Like

off one breeze, after 10 days, he could see her turn of foot. So

we ran her in the Belmont Oaks, and she was third in a race of

superstars, to New Money Honey (Medaglia d'Oro) and

Sistercharlie (Ire) (Myboycharlie {Ire}). And since we cut her

back to a mile, she's six-for-six against fillies."

Both Uni's Grade I wins--in the Matriarch S. last winter and in

the First Lady--showcased how she likes to chase down a strong

pace, and that is one of the obvious pivots for certain European

horses to thrive in the U.S. environment.

"Some of them are dying for pace in a race," Weisbord says.

"But the only thing I told Nic was that they need to be able to go

a mile plus; that, and firm ground. There's no question the

Europeans have the best sire power [for turf], the best

pedigrees to produce turn of foot. And that's what wins these

races."

In his recruitment de Watrigant is able to call upon contacts

tracing back to his apprenticeship, as assistant to Luca Cumani

and Jean-Claude Rouget.

"I know the trainers, I know the way they work," he says.

"When you buy a horse in training, you need to have

information from the stable; from the riders, too. Also some of

the horses we've bought came from the south of France, where

they race more like in America, with sharp bends; it's not like

they've been running in a straight line at Newmarket." Cont. p10

Uni cont.

Unfortunately Uni's original supervisors in Europe neglected to

nominate her for the Breeders' Cup, and her transatlantic

blossoming means that a hefty supplementary fee will be

necessary for her to line up at Santa Anita. But while her current

spree of success was interrupted by her only encounter with

American males, when third (actually to another filly) in the

GI Fourstardave H., she hit traffic and Weisbord believes that

the sky remains the limit.

"She's an exceptional talent, going a mile," he says. "She got

very unlucky at Saratoga, and if she gets pace and a trip, she'll

be dangerous at the Breeders' Cup. I haven't spoken to the

partners yet, but I think it would be a dream to come over and

target the Queen Anne at Royal Ascot next year."

That path was pioneered, of course, by Tepin (Bernstein)--who

was subsequently sold through Elite Sales, operated by

Weisbord with partner Liz Crow, for $8-million. "If you can win

that race, it can take your value to the stratosphere," Weisbord

attests. "I was there when Tepin won, and we believe this filly is

that sort of talent. She's running the same sort of numbers on

my figures. And she likes any sort of surface, she's won on

yielding, so it wouldn't bother her even if you were to catch a

soft-ground year. I know she's five, turning six, but she's never

run poorly in her life so there's no reason to think we're out of

gas yet. The owners of Uni are sportsmen. Yes, it's very tough

but we know it can be done."

"And that's why it's great to work for them," de Watrigant

adds. "Because those guys like to give their horses a chance--

and a challenge."

Uni's grand-dam is a half-sister to Rafha (GB), so the Invincible

Spirit (Ire) connection might ultimately see her returned to the

European marketplace. But this business is all about a

willingness to adapt. Increasing purses on turf in the U.S., for

instance, may yet bring more colts into the BSW/Mandore

program.

"My clients' stable consists 80-20 of fillies to colts," Weisbord

says. "That's because our goal is to keep them in the game, as

racing guys not breeding guys, and if you win a stake with a filly,

that goes a long way in terms of residual value. We need to

trade them into the market like we did A Raving Beauty. With

colts, Hong Kong is a popular market and it's hard to get people

to pay $400,000-$700,000 if a listed or Grade III won't get you

out. But after Rockemperor I think, going forward, we'll be

looking for colts for this new series in New York."

Unmistakably, business between Weisbord and de Watrigant is

also a great pleasure. "Our families have become close, and it's

so much fun to work with a contemporary, to travel the world

together," Weisbord says.

"I'm a believer in knowing the market. Nic has the contacts,

and he's so easy to deal with. And it's so important to know

you're dealing with an honest counterpart. That's crucial for me.

I don't have to check the channels. I trust what he says as bible."

DR DELIVERS MERCURY REMEDY

Friday=s G3 Al Basti Equiworld Mercury S. was shorn of British

raider and likely favourite El Astronaute (Ire) (Approve {Ire}),

who broke through the stalls during the loading process, and it

was left to Russell Jones=s juvenile Dr Simpson (Fr) (Dandy Man

{Ire}) to fill the void and lead home a trifecta of runners from

across the Irish Sea in the one-turn dash at Dundalk. The bay

had hit the board in two black-type events since plundering a

July 13 novice heat by seven lengths at Chester and went

postward for this first overseas adventure returning off a fourth

in the Sept. 20 Listed Harry Rosebery S. at Ayr. Sharing

pacesetting duties with Hit the Bid (GB) (Exceed and Excel {Aus})

for the most part, the 16-1 chance subdued that rival when

ridden into an outright lead approaching the final furlong and

was driven out to hold the incoming Dream Shot (Ire) (Dream

Ahead) and Corinthia Knight (Ire) (Society Rock {Ire}) by 3/4-of-

a-length and a head, respectively, for a career high.

AShe hit the gates well, travelled good and strong all the way

the race and told me she was straightforward and to keep it

VELOX A WARM FAVOURITE IN KIKUKA SHOby Alan Carasso

The yellow-and-black silks of Kaneko Makoto Holdings Co.

were carried to victory by the late, great Deep Impact (Jpn) in

the 2005 G1 Kikuka Sho (Japanese St Leger) and the owner will

have every chance to double his tally in the staying feature in

the form of Velox (Jpn) (Just a Way {Jpn}) Sunday afternoon at

Kyoto Racecourse.

Out of the top three just once in his eight career trips to the

post to date, Velox--a -48 million ($421,440) purchase as a JRHA

Select Sale yearling--landed a pair of early-season listed races

over the metric mile and a quarter and was a head second to the

G1 Tenno Sho (Autumn)-bound Saturnalia (Jpn) (Lord Kanaloa

{Jpn}) in the G1 Satsuki Sho (Japanese 2000 Guineas) in April.

Third in the G1 Tokyo Yushun (Japanese Derby) in his first try at

12 furlongs, the bay colt was freshened and resumed with a

strong runner-up effort to Saturnalia in the G2 Kobe Shimbun

Hai (2400m) Sept. 22. Produced by a mare by the staying

influence Monsun (Ger), Sunday=s trip should pose no obstacle.

AHe always shows a lot of strength in his races and gives it the

very best,@ said trainer Mitsumasa Nakauchida. AWhile it=ll be his

first time over 3000 meters (1 7/8 miles), and the Kyoto 3000

meters is a bit unique, again he should run to his best.@

Satono Lux (Jpn) (Deep Impact {Jpn}) topped the

aforementioned JRHA Select Sale on a bid of -270 million

($2,370,600) and was a listed winner over 11 furlongs back in

February before finishing well down the field in the Guineas and

the Derby. The son of G1 Fillies= Mile winner Listen (Ire) (Sadler=s

Wells) made a favorable impression on his return to action,

closing from midfield to fill second spot in the Sept. 16 G2 Asahi

Hai St Lite Kinen (2200m), a neck better than the re-opposing

Zadar (Jpn) (Tosen Ra {Jpn}).

World Premiere (Jpn) (Deep Impact {Jpn}) will try to follow in

his father=s hoofprints and the -240 million ($2,335,200) JRHA

Select Weanling has every right to move forward off a third in

the Kobe Shimbun Hai. Prior to that, he defeated Unicorn Lion

(Ire) (No Nay Never) at Kyoto in February and was runner-up to

Velox in the Listed Wakaba S. the following month.

Red Genial (Jpn) (King Kamehameha {Jpn}) downed

subsequent Derby hero Roger Barows (Jpn) (Deep Impact {Jpn})

by a neck in the G2 Kyoto Shimbun Hai in early May before

finishing eighth in the Derby itself. The dark bay was scarcely

embarrassed when returning from a four-month rest in the

Kobe Shimbun Hai, finishing fourth after racing prominent

throughout.

Racing New South Wales Chief Executive Peter V=landys | Getty

INDUSTRY GROUPS CALLFOR PROSECUTIONS

By Paul Vettise

Major thoroughbred bodies have reacted with outrage and

calls for action in the wake of an ABC report, which aired graphic

footage of the fate of ex-racehorses at a Queensland

slaughterhouse.

Racing New South Wales Chief Executive Peter V'landys,

Racing Victoria Chief Executive Giles Thompson, Thoroughbred

Breeders= Chief Executive Tom Reilly, Racing Australia and Inglis

were all sickened by the vision and want the perpetrators held

to account.

V=landys also remained adamant New South Wales had made

major inroads to protect the welfare of retired racehorses,

including implementing a rule that tracks horses throughout

their racing careers and retirements and bans sending horses to

slaughter.

He has called on the Queensland Government and the

Department of Primary Industries to take action.

"The vision was sickening and disturbing, what was going on in

abattoirs in Queensland, and I hope the perpetrators are

brought into account," V'landys said on 2GB's Alan Jones

Breakfast Show.

Elements of the programme were unfair and V=landys said it

tarnished an entire industry because of the actions of a few.

He also revealed Racing NSW had received hate mail in

response to the programme.

"The hate mail we have been receiving telling us to all get

cancer and die is appalling," V'landys said. "There are no people

that look after their animals better than the thoroughbred

people.

"They treat them like family and to take one or two people

that do the wrong thing and portray a whole industry like that is

completely unfair and unjust."

Racing NSW was given a list of names of 14 horses by the ABC

and V'landys said they identified 12 of them were last domiciled

in other states or had been sold as pleasure horses, thus placing

them outside the jurisdiction of his organisation.

He said 10,000 NSW racehorses had been retired in the past

three years and the majority successfully re-homed.

Since 2016, Racing NSW has set aside one per cent of all

prizemoney, equating to about $2.5 million, to a thoroughbred

welfare fund and has purchased over 2500 acres of NSW

property for its re-homing programme.

Thompson said he was greatly distressed by the inhumane

treatment of the horses at the abattoir.

AAbattoirs and knackeries are regulated by State Governments

and we expect those authorities to ensure animal welfare

standards are maintained and compliance is strictly enforced.

We expect anyone breaching those laws to be prosecuted.

AEquine welfare is a non-negotiable for the Australian racing

industry. The goal of ensuring a home for every healthy

thoroughbred as it exits the racing industry must remain a

priority for all.

AThrough our Off The Track programme we are working to

create a demand for the thoroughbred and promoting a

network of 50 retrainers to support the rehoming efforts of

owners and trainers.

AWhile the racing industry is able to enforce strict rules and

demand the highest standards of treatment for horses during

their racing career, once a horse is retired from racing it leaves

our jurisdiction and the scope of the national rules of racing.

AThis is of course a matter of national concern and not just

restricted to thoroughbreds. We have been calling for a better

system to track the movement of horses once they have left the

racing industry and are urging the Federal Government=s Senate

Standing Committee to expedite its deliberations and pave the

way for the urgent introduction of a National Horse Traceability

Register.

TDN AUSTRALIA/NEW ZEALAND • PAGE 2 OF 3 • THETDN.COM SATURDAY • 19 OCTOBER 2019

WHILE THERE IS GOOD WORK BEING

DONE TO REHOME HORSES, WE HAVE

TO LOOK AT HOW PARTICIPANTS AND

REGULATORS CAN AND

MUST DO BETTER.Thoroughbred Breeders’ Chief Executive Tom Reilly

AFurther, it is clear that national compliance with the industry=s

system of data collection relating to the retirement of horses is

not working as it should. We will also be working with Racing

Australia, our owners and trainers, and other State racing

authorities to rectify this.@

Reilly said he too was appalled by the vision broadcast in the

ABC report.

AAll horses, whether thoroughbreds or not, deserve to be

treated humanely and with dignity. The full force of the law

should be brought down on anybody in the footage shown

mistreating those horses.

AThe thoroughbred industry needs a full and frank discussion

about what happens to horses when they leave the industry.

And while there is good work being done to rehome horses, we

have to look at how participants and regulators can and must do

better.

AWe also need to have confidence in the numbers the industry

publishes about what happens to animals when they leave

racing.@

Racing Australia said it shared the outrage at the horrific

images of the gross mistreatment of horses revealed in the ABC

programme.

AEach year, State and Territory racing authorities invest tens of

millions of dollars in integrity, veterinary services and equine

welfare programs to try and achieve the best possible outcomes

for horses,@ it said in a statement. ASince 2014, the sport=s

national body, Racing Australia, has introduced reforms to the

Australian Rules of Racing (ARR) to strengthen integrity and

equine welfare goals by ensuring authorities have access to the

ownership and location details of horses, from birth until their

retirement from racing.

AUnder the ARR, when a thoroughbred retires from racing, its

owners have an obligation to provide Racing Australia with the

reasons for the horse=s retirement, the name of the new owner

and the proposed new location of the horse.

AEach year Racing Australia=s annual report provides

information on the retirement of racehorses which, for the past

three years, reveals almost 90 per cent of thoroughbreds enter

the equestrian, pleasure or breeding sectors.

AOne per cent were listed as being sent to abattoirs. Any

subsequent changes in ownership or location of retired

thoroughbreds cannot be tracked as neither Racing Australia or

State or Territory racing authorities have the power or legal

ability to do so.

AOne of the reason=s Racing Australia supports the proposal for

a National Traceability Register for all horses is that it would

provide federal and state animal welfare authorities access to

ownership and location information for these thoroughbreds.@

Auction house Inglis has also condemned the actions of animal

mistreatment in the footage aired by the ABC.

AThe alleged vision shown was appalling and the abattoirs

involved need to be investigated as soon as possible and held to

account,@ it said in a statement.

AThe horse welfare programmes introduced by regulators

almost three years ago are a step in the right direction but need

to be better supported and enforced by all industry participants

and the general public who take possession of retired

racehorses and use them for a wide range of pursuits.

Proactive initiatives including re-homing programs are

fantastic, but clearly there is still a lot more work to do to keep

track of racehorses when they are retired.

AAs an auction house, Inglis sets a minimum bid price when we

offer horses for sale to help prevent horses that pass through

our operations from ending up in the wrong hands, and we do

not sell to abattoirs or allow any of their trucks onto our

property.

AWe have also supported a number of off the track projects

over the past few years, sponsoring thoroughbred classes to

encourage the broader uptake of thoroughbreds as equestrian

horses.

AWe also believe abattoirs and similar operations need to be

more diligently regulated by government to ensure they operate

humanely in relation to all animals.

AThe conduct of the alleged staff working in these facilities

shown on The 7.30 Report is totally unacceptable.@
