INTO MISCHIEF COLT TOPS OBS OPENERBy Ron Mitchell

Spendthrift Farm owner B. Wayne Hughes showed

faith in his farm's stallion Into Mischief, paying the

highest price of $335,000 during the first session of the

Ocala Breeders’ Sale Co.’s April sale for one of his sons.

Compared with 2015, session one of the four day

sale saw across-the-board increases in gross, aver-

age, and median prices, with fewer sold.

OBS reported the 154 sold grossed $11,180,500,

up 8% over the $10,351,200 for 181 sold in 2015.

This year’s first session average rose 27% to $72,601

from $57,189, and the median, 18% to $47,000 from

$40,000. The buy-back rate was 28%.

Eleven horses sold for more than $200,000 during

the April 19 session, compared with four during last

year’s comparable session.

“It was a good day, and while we’re certainly glad

to be up during this first session. We take it in stride,

realizing we have three more days,” said sales direc-

tor Tod Wojciechowski.

The Into Mischief colt was one of two Spendthrift

“Into Mischief stamps them very well, and he was

what you would be looking for in an Into Mischief,”

Spendthrift manager Ned Toffey said of the stallion,

which stands for $45,000.

Bridlewood Farm purchased the colt for $100,000

at last year’s Keeneland September yearling sale

and consigned him as Hip 289. Bred in Kentucky by

$310,000 were a Midnight Lute colt and a Shackle-

ford filly.

Ruis Racing purchased the Midnight Lute colt

consigned by Randy Miles. The Kentucky-bred, whose

second dam, Annasan, is the dam of Canadian Horse of

the Year A Bit O’Gold, was purchased for $28,000 at the

2015 Keeneland September yearling sale.

Narvick International bought the Shackleford filly,

Hip 128, from the SGV Thoroughbreds consignment.

She was bred in New York by Kaz Hill Farm and is out

MAYBERRY FARM STEEPED IN TRADITIONBy Ron Mitchell

Each time a Mayberry Farm 2-year-old goes into the

sale ring, it furthers one of North American Thor-

oughbred racing's richest family traditions.

Based in Ocala, Fla., Mayberry is the operation of

three accomplished horsewomen, led by April May-

berry. Her sister Summer and mother, Jeanne, are

also actively involved. Jeanne is the widow of late Cal-

ifornia-based trainer Brian Mayberry, whose grandfa-

ther, John Pierpont Mayberry, trained Judge Himes to

win the 1903 Kentucky Derby.

Jeanne Mayberry's father, Sam Saunderson, was

also a trainer.

April and Summer were successful trainers in

Southern California, and following Brian May-

berry's death at age 60 in 1998, Jeanne took

over training his stable.

In 2000, April and Jeanne relocated to

Ocala with Summer following later, and the

horsewomen have established themselves

with a flourishing pinhooking business.

"They know they can come here and buy a

horse they can go on to the races with," said

April.

Three of their 18-head consignment to

the Ocala Breeders' Sales. Co's April sale

displayed their race-worthiness, working an

eighth of a mile in :10 during the under tack

show.

Hip 857, is a colt from Gemologist's first

crop from the family of Artie Schiller. Hip 410

is a Spring At Last colt whose second dam is

multiple grade I-placed Spring Meadow, The

third is Hip 580, an Any Given Saturday half

brother to stakes-placed Majestic Slew.

Considering her father's success with

2-year-olds on the track, April said she

thought pinhooking would be easier than it

turned out to be.

"I thought this would be a pretty easy

transition," April said. "Building your clientele

and knowing what people want from a 2-year-old

sale were the biggest things. To re-sell a 2-year-

old, there are so many boxes you need to check.

Everything has to be perfect."

April and Summer each have clientele they bring

to the operation, and all three Mayberrys make deci-

sions together.

"It works out well, and, for the most part, we're on

the same page," she said, noting mother Jeanne plays

a role when disputes arise.

The Mayberrys utilize the Hartley/DeRenzo Thor-

oughbreds training facility and have broken more

than 100 yearlings over the last year.

Jeanne has a 13-acre farm near Ocala where she

takes care of retirees, including 24-year-old High

Stakes Player, who earned $845,629.

The Mayberrys are already prepping a fifth genera-

tion of horsemen. Summer bought a $4,000 yearling for

her two young sons and pinhooked it for $12,000. BH

PIPPEN LIKES HORSES, BUT NOT BUYINGBy Ron Mitchell

There was star power in the house at the Ocala

Breeders’ Sales Co.’s April 19 opening session.

Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Famer Scot-

tie Pippen spent the afternoon in the sales compa-

ny’s popular Tiki Hut bar.

Brought to the sale by horse owner Sam Her-

zberg—whose Black Onyx won the 2013 Spiral Stakes

(gr. III) and was Kentucky Derby (gr. I)-bound before

being scratched—Pippen was content to hang out

with the guys rather than go into the sale pavilion

and open his pocketbook.

Pippen, who played on the dominating Chicago

Bulls teams that included Michael Jordan, was named

to the all-NBA First Team three times and was a sev-

en-time NBA All-Star.

“I am just hanging out; I don’t have any plans to

invest in (the horses),” Pippen said.

Pippen said he has Quarter Horses on his Ham-

burg, Ark., property and has done trail riding before.

“It wasn’t my thing,” he said.

Pippen said his knowledge of horse racing mainly

consists of visits to the Kentucky Derby, which he

labeled the best event of its kind that he’s attended.

“It’s a great party all day, every day." BH

FIRST STARTER FOR UNION RAGSBy Alastair Bull

One of the most popular first-crop sires at the

2016 2-year-old sales will have the first of his

progeny hit the racetrack April 20.

Lady Stardust, by 2012 Belmont (gr. I) winner

Union Rags (Dixie Union) contests a $100,000 maid-

en special weight race at Aqueduct Racetrack. A

$105,000 Keeneland September yearling purchase,

the Wesley Ward-trainee is the 4-5 morning-line

favorite.

Prior to this week’s Ocala Breeders’ Sales Co.’s

April sale, 18 of Union Rags’ 2-year-olds averaged

$180,056—fourth-best among first-crop juvenile

sires. The highest price was a colt out of Touched

(Touch Gold), sold for $975,000 at the Fasig-Tipton

Florida sale.

Union Rags stands at Lane’s End, near Versailles,

Ky., for $35,000.

Another first-crop sire with his first runner April

20 is from the other end of the stud-fee scale. Keene-

of the Dixiana Breeders’ Futurity (gr. I) at 2, Noble’s

Promise stands at Breakway Farm in Indiana for

$2,500. BH

WINNING START FOR TO HONOR AND SERVEBy Alastair Bull

Gainesway's stallion To Honor and Serve is off to

a fast start, with his first runner French General

French General, who is out of the Ecton Park mare

French Park, won a 2-year-old race at Turf Paradise

by three-quarters of a length.

Winner of the Cigar Mile and the Woodward

Stakes (both gr. I), To Honor and Serve is by Ber-

nardini out of the Deputy Minister mare Pilfer. He

TEPIN, MISS TEMPLE CITY EARN TOP FIGURESBy Frank Angst

Two top turf females being considered for June starts

at Royal Ascot, Tepin and Miss Temple City, delivered

dazzling performances this past week at Keeneland.

Tepin earned the week's top Equibase Speed Figure

with a five-length Jenny Wiley (gr. IT) victory April 16.

The 5-year-old Bernstein mare set a stakes record,

completing the 1 1/16-mile race in 1:40.53 on firm turf.

The effort earned the champion grass mare a 125

ESF, matching her career-best from last year's Breed-

ers' Cup Mile (gr. IT) win over the same Keeneland

course.

Miss Temple City's connections opted

to avoid Tepin and start in the Maker's

46 Mile (gr. IT) against males. That move

paid off as the 4-year-old Temple City

filly scored a clear victory and earned a

career-best 123 ESF.

Tepin's connections are planning a start

in the June 14 Queen Anne Stakes (Eng-I)

with a prep likely coming in the May 7

Churchill Distaff Turf Mile Stakes (gr. IIT).

Trainer Graham Motion is considering the

June 15 Duke of Cambridge Stakes (Eng-II)

for Miss Temple City. BH

CANTERBURY ANNOUNCES MAJOR TAKEOUT CUTBy Tom LaMarra

In a move that figures to be closely watched by the

horseracing industry, Canterbury Park announced

April 19 a substantial across-the-board pari-mutuel

takeout reduction for its 2016 meet.

The takeout cut has already generated positive

feedback from the Horseplayers Association of North

America and from bettors who publicly discuss the

need for lower takeout rates for U.S. racing. How

other tracks in the country with higher rates react

remains to be seen.

The Minnesota track's 15% takeout on win, place,

and show bets will be the lowest in the United States

and second-lowest in North America behind Wood-

bine. Takeout for all other wagers will be 18%, down

from 23% last year.

The rate for exactas, trifectas, and superfectas will be

the lowest in North America, according to HANA statistics.

"By changing our takeout to the lowest in the Unit-

ed States, we're giving horseplayers worldwide great

value and drawing attention to what is sure to be the

finest racing season in Minnesota history," Canterbury

vice president of racing operations Eric Halstrom said.

The 69-day Canterbury meet opens May 20 and

ends Sept. 17. BH

trainer to Aidan O'Brien who is supervising the colt's

second Hong Kong campaign.

Highland Reel won the 2015 Hong Kong Vase (HK-

I) from Breeders' Cup Turf (gr. I) runner-up Flintshire

last December after finishing third in the Cox Plate

(Aus-I) in Australia in October. He won the Aug. 15

Secretariat by 5 1/4 lengths.

Highland Reel's past two runs have been at about

1 1/2 miles, but the cut back to about 1 1/4 miles

Sunday is no issue, Keating said.

"He's a versatile galloper and the trip's no prob-

lem." Ryan Moore has the mount.

Probable starters include last year's QE II Cup

winner Blazing Speed and group/grade I winners De-

signs On Rome, Ertijaal, Lovely Day, Nuovo Record,

and Rising Romance, as well as group/grade winners

Satono Crown and Dariyan. BH

PA PURSES SOLID DESPITE REVENUE DROPBy Tom LaMarra

The amount of revenue deposited into the Penn-

sylvania Race Horse Development Fund declined

11.1% over a five-year period, but purse accounts at

six tracks in the state still earned $228.3 million in

2015.

The numbers are part of the annual Pennsylvania

Gaming Control Board benchmark report on gam-

ing at three Thoroughbred and three Standardbred

tracks. Of the total purses earned, $204.1 million

(89.6%) was derived from a percentage of gross slot

machine revenue and $24.1 million (10.4%) came

from pari-mutuel handle.

On-track wagering on live races in Pennsylvania

last year totaled $30.6 million, down from $38.2 mil-

lion five years ago, according to the report. Handle at

the state's diminishing number of off-track wagering

facilities totaled only $8.4 million last year, down

from $15 million in 2011.

All-sources handle on Pennsylvania races of both

breeds was $722 million last year, down from a high

of $807.5 million in 2013 but higher than the $690.3

million recorded in 2011.

The report said that average gross slots revenue

was up on live racing days in 2015, but it noted the

statistics don't take into account peak times for casi-

no gambling. BH

CREATOR SHOULD HAVE DERBY STAMINA

Six furlongs into the Arkansas Derby (gr. I)

WinStar Farm's Gettysburg led from the

odds-on favorite, Tapit's son Cupid. That state of

affairs proved short-lived as the fierce pace took

its toll, and the duo faded from the firing line.

However, WinStar and Tapit still emerged

victorious. As Gettysburg and Cupid retreated,

Creator—a WinStar-owned son of Tapit who had

been more than 15 lengths off the lead after

the opening quarter—was making relentless

progress. Hitting the front halfway through the

stretch, Creator powered clear by 1 1/4 lengths.

Conceivably Tapit will have three Kentucky

Derby (gr. I) starters: one-time favorite Mo-

haymen; UAE Derby (UAE-II) winner Lani; and

Creator. Of these, both Lani and Creator took

their final preps in last-to-first fashion, and both

seem likely to relish the extra Derby distance.

With that in mind—and with the ever-dimin-

ishing numbers of top-class U.S.-bred dirt colts

truly suited to 1 1/4 miles or more—it's interest-

ing that both Lani and Creator were produced

from mares born outside of the U.S., and from

regions that place a higher value on stamina.

Lani's dam, Japan-born Heavenly Romance, is

by Sunday Silence out of an Irish-bred daughter

of Sadler's Wells. Creator is out of the Peruvian

mare Morena.

Champion at 2, 3, and 4 in her native country,

Morena won black-type races from six furlongs

up to the 1 1/2 miles of the Clasico Hipodromo

de Monterrico (Per-II). Sent to the U.S., Morena

failed to win in eight starts—all in graded stakes—

spread over two seasons, but she did hit the

board in five of them, including a second in the

Falls City (gr. II) and two renewals of the Obeah (gr.

III), and a third in the Personal Ensign Stakes (gr. I).

Morena's sire Privately Held is a son of Pri-

vate Account. A brother to Chimes of Freedom—

European champion at 2 and 3, group I winner

at six furlongs and a mile, and dam of several

high-class winners, including champion sprinter

Aldebaran—Privately Held was a different type

of runner than his sister, his only black-type a

third in the 1 3/8-mile Meadowlands Endurance

Stakes. Creator's second dam, Charytin, a Peru-

vian Broodmare of the Year, is by Belmont (gr.

I) winner Summing. The family traces to a half

sister to 1927 Travers Stakes captor Brown Bud,

subsequently sire of Secretariat's third dam.

Creator and Trappe Shot are graded stakes win-

ners sired by Tapit from just five starters out of Pri-

vate Account mares. The pedigree also has some-

thing in common with that of California Chrome,

who is also by a son of Pulpit out of a mare inbred

to Private Account's dam, Numbered Account. BH

2016 SIRES BY LIFETIME AEIListed below are the top 10 leading sires by lifetime Average Earnings Index (AEI) through April 11, 2016. Only active stallions in North America (excluding stallions that were exported prior to the 2011 breeding season) with at least 150 named foals of racing age are included. All statistics are Northern Hemisphere only. AEI indicates how much purse money the progeny of one sire has earned in relation to the average earnings of all runners in the same years; average earnings of all runners in any year is represented by an index of 1.00. CI indicates the average earnings of progeny produced from mares bred to one sire, when these same mares were bred to other sires.

Listed below is a comparison of statistics for only North American racing with all available statistics through April 11, 2016. Only stallions that stand, will stand, or stood in North America (excluding stallions that died or were exported prior to the 2011 breeding season), and have runners in North America are included..
