A 'TRU' CHAMPION:LETRUSKA DOES ITAGAIN IN SPINSTER
Popular star distaffer Letruska (Super Saver) took another step
toward a potential Horse of the Year trophy Sunday at
Keeneland, rolling to her fourth Grade I victory and sixth graded
stakes win overall on the year as a heavy favorite in the GI
Juddmonte Spinster S.
A dual Group 1 winner in Mexico for Fausto Gutierrez in 2019,
Letruska stamped herself as a horse to watch with an impressive
wire-to-wire score in last summer's GIII Shuvee S. at Saratoga
and, after disappointing when finishing a well-beaten fourth in
Belmont's GII Beldame S., added open-lengths graded stakes
tallies in the GIII Rampart S. and GIII Houston Ladies Classic S.
over the winter. A narrow second in the GII Azeri S. at Oaklawn,
the 5-year-old sent a seismic shock through the racing world
when improbably re-rallying to stun dual champion Monomoy
Girl (Tapizar) in the GI Apple Blossom H. Apr. 17 in Hot Springs.
She then added a 2 3/4-length conquest of the GI Ogden Phipps
S. and came back three weeks later for a 5 3/4-length romp in
the GII Fleur de Lis S. before fighting off a host of challengers to
annex the GI Personal Ensign S. last out Aug. 28 at Saratoga.
Away with all the money on to keep it rolling in this first career
start at Keeneland, the bay broke as cleanly as Gutierrez could
have asked for and established command in the first handful of
strides under regular rider Irad Ortiz, Jr. Cont. p3
>SPECIAL FILLY= SWISS SKYDIVER WILL BE
MISSED AT MCPEEK BARNby Katie Petrunyak
In just a few weeks, champion Swiss Skydiver (Daredevil--Expo
Gold, by Johannesburg) will sell at the Fasig-Tipton >Night of the
Stars= Sale. On an evening heralded for its abundant
opportunity, her trip through the ring will be marked with
anticipation for what is to come as she begins her broodmare
career. But until then, there=s just a bit of melancholy for her
fans in looking back on her remarkable racing career.
What was it, exactly, that made Swiss Skydiver so
unforgettable?
It could have been her extraordinary toughness and durability.
The filly=s Eclipse-earning sophomore season was unlike any
other as she competed in 10 stakes races at nine different
racetracks, crossing the wire first in half those starts. Cont. p5

Trainer Jeff Runco (holding platter) and jockey Arnaldo Bocachica enjoyed an incredible
West Virginia Breeders' Classic night Saturday at Charles Town. They teamed up for
seven stakes wins, including with the now eight-for-eight Muad'dib (Fiber Sonde) in the
$300,000 feature. Bocachica won one more for good measure, falling one win short of
sweeping the card. | Coady Photo

Letruska Wins Again in Spinster cont. from p1
Shaking loose from her nearest pursuers with ears pricked
heading into the clubhouse turn, Letruska clicked off moderate
fractions of :24 flat and :47.89 while moving easily in the clear.
Crystal Ball (Malibu Moon) tried her best to take a run at the
chalk as three-quarters went up in 1:12.52, but was always
under more pressure than Letruska and dropped away by the
top of the lane. Distant second choice Dunbar Road (Quality
Road) began to make up marginal ground passing the eighth
pole, but was never a realistic threat, and Letruska bounded
past the wire a victress for the 17th time in her remarkable 22-
race career.
AThis is a horse to change the life of any person,@ said
Gutierrez. AShe=s a superstar and she proves [it] every second,
every race. She shows her game, her ability at Churchill, at
Oaklawn, at Saratoga. She=s a racehorse.@
AShe=s doing so good right now,@ added Ortiz. AI think she has
great condition, a good trainer. She=s doing unbelievable right
now. She was just moving smooth out there. She didn=t go that
fast today but she did it easy, relaxed, and whenever I asked her
she was there for me.@
Pedigree Notes:
One of 32 stakes winners, 16 graded stakes winners and seven
Grade I winners for 2010 GI Kentucky Derby hero Super Saver,
Letruska is the third black-type performer and second black-type
winner from seven foals to race out of GSP Magic Appeal, a half-
sister to GISW and sire J P's Gusto (Successful Appeal) and the
dam of dual Canadian champion Miss Mischief (Into Mischief).
Second dam Call Her Magic (Caller I. D.) was an eight-time
winner in 14 career starts and ran a 107 Beyer when airing in a
turf sprint stake by 6 3/4 lengths at Delaware in 2000.

She is also a half-sister to the dam of 2008 GI Kentucky Oaks
winner Proud Spell (Proud Citizen). Magic Appeal, a $100,000
Keeneland November pickup by Letruska's owner/breeder with
Letruska in utero in 2015, has an unraced 2-year-old Hard Spun
colt named Ocotzingo, a yearling colt by Arrogate and a
weanling filly by Malibu Moon. She was bred to Curlin this
spring.

Swiss Skydiver Will Be Missed by McPeek cont. from p1
During a year of the unprecedented in 2020, it became
altogether familiar to find Swiss Skydiver in the entries nearly
every month.
Or maybe it was the grit and bravery she displayed so
magnificently in her historic GI Preakness. S., refusing to let
Authentic inch past her white shadow roll. Every racing fan
remembers exactly where they were watching as she battled to
become the sixth filly in history to win the Preakness S.
Even still, it could have been her intelligent personality, which
Kenny McPeek shared with her many admirers through social
media as they journeyed to racetracks across the county.
Perhaps the fierce chestnut=s uniqueness shines through in all
of those elements, each one an important element in the story
of Swiss Skydiver.
A member of the first crop of Daredevil, Hip 2997 was a
half-sister to two winners and the granddaughter of GSP Clouds
of Gold (Strike the Gold), but it wasn=t her pedigree that caught
the eye of Kenny McPeek.
AShe was a big, beautiful filly with a great walk to her and a
great energy,@ the agent said, recalling even the barn at which
he first laid eyes on her.
McPeek purchased the Select Sales-consigned yearling for
$35,000 for longtime client Peter Callahan. Swiss Skydiver made
her debut the following November at Churchill Downs, breaking
her maiden there by five and a half lengths.
There was much more to come as the calendar turned to 2020.

Swiss Skydiver becomes one for the record books
in the 2020 GI Preakness S. | Horsephotos
AHer 3-year-old season was magical,@ McPeek said. @For
everybody who was dealing with the pandemic, we knew that
there were a lot of people that couldn=t go to the races and we
were traveling with Swiss Skydiver. We went from state to state
and it seemed like everywhere we went was a new adventure.@
Swiss Skydiver collected three consecutive graded stakes
victories before making her first start against the boys in the GII
Blue Grass S., running a more-than-acceptable second to Art
Collector (Bernardini). After earning her first Grade I in the
Alabama S. and then taking second in the GI Kentucky Oaks,
Kenny McPeek had skeptics reeling when she was entered in yet
another contest, this one against her toughest competition still,
in the Preakness.
AI never second-guessed running her against the boys at all,@
McPeek said when asked of his decision to enter the filly in her
ninth start of the year. AHer speed figures looked like she fit
against just about anybody.@
Off at 11-1, Swiss Skydiver refused to yield against eventual
Horse of the Year Authentic and crossed the wire in front by a
neck to win the second-fastest Preakness in history and give her
trainer his first Preakness victory.
AI think I had maybe 700 text messages on my phone,@ McPeek
said with a laugh. @Look, when you win everybody texts you and
when you lose, nobody does. But you know, she made it all
happen. Without her, none of it happens.@
McPeek added that he was thrilled to share the experience
with longtime client Peter Callahan.
APeter is one of the most special people I=ve ever worked for,@
he said. AHe really understands the game. His persistence with
me is really the reason why we=re here. He has let me buy some
slow horses too and I couldn=t be happier for a guy like him to
have her.@
While the stars all aligned for Swiss Skydiver during her Eclipse
Award-winning 3-year-old campaign, she came back at four to
win the GI Beholder Mile S. in March but then several
unfortunate circumstances got in the way of the original plan for
her 2021 campaign. However, McPeek said he will not let those
disruptions get in the way of him celebrating the champion=s
many accomplishments.

Swiss Skydiver sells as Hip 246 at the Fasig-Tipton November Sale
Sarah Andrew
AWe would have liked to have had a better 4-year-old year, but
you couldn=t have had a better 3-year-old year, maybe in the
history of 3-year-old fillies,@ he said. AShe=s just a tough filly. She
loves her food and you don=t get many like that. With colts
maybe you do; fillies are a little
more sensitive, but she is as
sturdy as I=ve ever seen and may
ever will see.@
Swiss Skydiver will enter the
ring at Fasig-Tipton as a six-time
grade stakes-winning champion
with earnings of over $2.2
million.
AWe=re thrilled to have a filly of
the quality of Swiss Skydiver
entered in the sale,@
Fasig-Tipton=s Boyd Browning
said. AShe truly is the complete
packageBunbelievable race
record, demonstrated brilliance
on a number of occasions, but
also demonstrated the durability and consistency that truly
defines a great filly.@
Browning added that he believes Swiss Skydiver offers all the
qualities the buyers as Fasig-Tipton will be seeking.
ABreeders today are desiring durability, consistency and
toughness,@ he said. AShe=s a throwback. She trained hard, she
ran hard, she answered every bell. She was an exceptional
racehorse and had that grit and
determination that I think she is
likely to pass on to her offspring
as well.@
For McPeek, watching Swiss
Skydiver as she embarks on her
broodmare career reminds him
of another one of his talented
trainees from years ago.
ATake Charge Lady [Dehere]
had that kind of talent and ended
up being Broodmare of the Year,@
he said. AI would wager that Swiss
Skydiver will be every bit as good
of a broodmare as she was a
racehorse because she=s
extremely intelligent and she=s
just a kind soul to be around. On the physical [aspect], she=s just
so big and strong. She=s a filly that would be ideal in that you
could breed her to a list of stallions.@ Cont. p8
TDN HEADLINE NEWS • PAGE 8 OF 17 • THETDN.COM MONDAY • OCTOBER 11, 2021
For Browning, much of Swiss Skydiver=s potential for success as
a broodmare is found by looking back on the accomplishments
of the only other two Preakness-winning fillies from the last 100
years.
AWe all remember Rachel Alexandra--one of the all-time greats
of our industry,@ he said. AShe produced a Grade I winner in a
very limited number of foals and also produced a stallion who is
having success at the racetrack right now too. The other filly to
win the Preakness in the last 100 years is Nellie Morse and she
produced a champion in her own right and has become a very
influential broodmare.@
Swiss Skydiver will sell as Hip 246 with the Runnymede Farm
consignment on Nov. 9 at the Fasig-Tipton November Sale, but
for now McPeek is enjoying his final days with his history-making
filly as she begins the transition period at Magdelena Farm--the
location where she was once saddled for the very first time.
AWe=ve really been blessed to be around a horse like her,@ he
said. AThey=re few and far between and you really have to
appreciate them when they come into your life. I think we did
take advantage of all that and spent time with her. I got a
chance to bond with her really well. It=s going to be tough,
because we love being around her. She=s a really special filly.@

Tiz the Bomb broke through the gate before the start and had
to overcome a wide post, but those obstacles proved no matter
as the improving colt picked up his second straight stakes win in
Sunday's GII Castle & Key Bourbon S. at Keeneland, punching his
ticket for the GI Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf.
Easily the most expensive progeny of his sire to sell in 2020
when hammering for $330,000 at the Fasig-Tipton Selected
Yearling Sale, the bay only beat one horse home debuting over
five furlongs on the Churchill dirt May 14, but improved
drastically stretching out to a mile in an Ellis off-the-turfer July 2,
cruising to a 14 1/4-length graduation. Stepping up in his first
start on turf and initial try against winners to annex the
Kentucky Downs Juvenile Mile S. Sept. 6, Tiz the Bomb was
made a fractional favorite in this full 14-horse field despite
breaking through his stall and running off for about a furlong
before being corralled and reloaded.
Finding a good spot racing in the clear in fourth behind
fractions of :22.94 and :47.54, he got shuffled back a bit midway
around the far turn and appeared to be spinning his wheels in
sixth as the field straightened for home. Starting to find his best
stride passing the three-sixteenths marker, Tiz the Bomb drew
alongside a trio of battling leaders a furlong out, forged to the
front soon after and inched clear to prevail. Stolen Base rallied
late to get into second.
AIt=s not a good omen, typically, and yeah, it makes a trainer
nervous when it happens, but [jockey] Brian [Hernandez] did a
great job wrangling him up and keeping him under control,@
winning trainer Ken McPeek said of Tiz a Bomb breaking through
the gate. AIt=s worse if he comes off or something like that. This
horse has got a lot of talent and we=re fortunate to have a guy
like Brian who handles things on the oval. He does a great job.@
AWe were ready, we were set up, and as the last horse was
walking in, I turned his head to set him to where we could leave
the gate in good order,@ related Hernandez. AHe got a little
anxious and just charged forward one step and the gate popped
open. Most of the time when that happens, horses have a hard
time recovering from it, but when we finally reloaded and he
left the gate in good order the second time, we were able to get
around the first turn in good order. I was really confident in him,
and he took care of it from there.@
The win capped a big weekend at Keeneland for McPeek,
whose Rattle N Roll (Connect) ran away to an impressive success
in Saturday's GI Claiborne Breeders' Futurity. McPeek, however,
said that Rattle N Roll may pass on the Breeders' Cup while
indicating that Tiz the Bomb will be on a plane to Del Mar.
AI think for this horse definitely the Breeders= Cup Juvenile
[Turf] is ideal,@ he commented. AEverything happens for a
reason. You could have made the case that Tiz the Bomb could
have run yesterday for sure, and Rattle N Roll--of course, they=re
apples and oranges. It=s a high-level problem we=ve got right
now. We=re just going to enjoy this, relish the moment and
make those decisions as we get closer.@

W.S. Farish's ascending homebred Royal Flag rallied to a
convincing win in Sunday's GII Beldame S. at Belmont, her third
graded stakes conquest in her last five starts.
Graduating second out by eight lengths in the Aqueduct mud
in December of 2019, the chestnut repeated by nine lengths in a
Gulfstream allowance/optional claimer and made it three
straight with a score in a similar spot last May at Churchill.
Disappointing somewhat with a distant third in the GIII Molly
Pitcher S., she was a close runner-up in the GIII Shuvee S. and
Lady's Secret S. before breaking through with her first black-type
success in the GIII Turnback the Alarm H. at the Big A. Second by
a head in the GIII Baird Doubledogdare S. making her 5-year-old
debut Apr. 16 at Keeneland, she flew late to capture the Shuvee
July 25 at Saratoga before running a narrow third in the GI
Personal Ensign S. there Aug. 28.
Pounded down to odds-on here, Royal Flag settled in fifth as
second choice and 2020 Beldame heroine Horologist dictated
terms through comfortable splits of :23.97 and :48.54. Creeping
closer while tipping into the clear as three-quarters went up in
1:13.03, she drifted to the center of the track as heads pointed
for home, swept past Horologist just inside the eighth pole and
drew clear under hand urging for a much-the-best triumph.
Horologist dug in to hold off pace rival Miss Marissa for second.
AShe broke really well. We were up a little bit in the race
today,@ said winning rider Joel Rosario. ASometimes, when
there's no speed, she can be up a little bit. It looked like she was
very comfortable, and we were just waiting for the time to come
out and let her do her thing. I wanted to be out [wide]. When
she passes horses she can hang a little bit. I feel like if I get her
away from them, she's more focused at that point. So, I stayed
out there. If she has another horse there [beside her], she'll just
stay there.@
AThis year she=s obviously taken a big step forward,@ added
Dan Stupp, assistant to winning trainer Chad Brown. AShe=s
trained better than ever and she=s been to all of our divisions.
Everyone has done a great job of developing her. She=s in peak
form and Rosario gets along quite well with her. I=m sure the
Farishes are thrilled with her progress as well and the black type
that Chad has been able to develop into her. We=ll see what=s
next for her. Off that race, I=m sure Chad and Mr. Farish will
consider the Breeders= Cup [Distaff]. We=ll get her back and see
how she comes out of it, and they=ll come up with a plan.@
Pedigree Notes:
One of 100 stakes winners and 50 graded stakes winners for
Lane's End 22-year-old star Candy Ride, Royal Flag is the third
black-type winner out of her dam, following full-brother Eagle
and half-brother Catalina Cruiser, who entered stud at Lane's
End last year. Sea Gull, a $270,000 purchase by Farish at Fasig-
Tipton Saratoga in 2007, has an unraced juvenile full-sister to
the winner named Song of the Sea and produced a colt by
Quality Road this term before being bred to Into Mischief.

Jump Sucker Stable's Slipstream backed up a sharp maiden
victory earlier in the meet with a score in the GIII Futurity S.
Sunday at Belmont, a Win and You're In qualifier for the GII
Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf Sprint.
Debuting locally over six furlongs on grass, the $170,000
Keeneland September purchase ran an even fifth after hitting
the gate at the start, then faced more early trouble in a Saratoga
off-the-turfer July 30 before finishing a distant third. Cruising to
a 5 1/4-length graduation going seven panels here Sept. 18, the
dark bay was made the second choice here and was checked
several times in the opening furlong to be relegated to last
behind a :22.39 quarter. Advancing while saving ground on the
turn, he awaited room in early stretch, squeezed through at the
rail at the furlong grounds, tipped into the two path soon after
and overhauled pace-dueling longshot Run Curtis Run in deep
stretch to prevail. Even-money favorite Chi Town Lady
(Verrazano) was a no-factor sixth.

Slipstream | Janet Garaguso
AI=m very happy,@ said winning trainer Christophe Clement. AHe
belongs to Jump Sucker--a partnership that belongs to [NYRA
board member] Stephen Duncker and three of his friends. I
haven=t had a really good horse for them since Governor Malibu
a few years ago. I thought he would be a bit closer to the pace,
but I train and let Joel [Rosario] ride. He rides better than I do
and I train better than he does. He said he got really slammed
coming out the gate. Otherwise, I thought he was cruising and
going well. I love the way he finished. He was very impressive
when he broke his maiden here last time.@
Clement also said that his preference is to run in the one-mile
GI Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf despite now having a fees-paid
berth to the Juvenile Turf Sprint.
AIf it=s up to me, yes. We have to see how he comes out of it
and be sure the owners are on board and that everything goes
well. I=d like to go [Juvenile Turf Sprint] with Derrynane, who
won [the Woodbine Cares] at Woodbine last month. I still don=t
know if they=ll invite her or not. I prefer six [furlongs] going into
a race that=s a mile at Del Mar on firm than a mile and a
sixteenth and drop back to a mile. I always like when you go to
California, the idea of pushing that sprinter speed going six or
seven furlongs to a mile.@
Pedigree Notes:
With the victory, Slipstream becomes the 211th stakes winner
and 96th graded stakes winner for WinStar's 24-year-old
stalwart More Than Ready. He is the second foal to race out of
his stakes-placed dam, following Too Sexy (Quality Road), who
scored in an allowance/optional claimer with a career-high 89
Beyer at Belmont Sept. 25. His second dam was an Illinois-bred
stakes winner. Cake Baby, a $110,000 Keeneland November
pickup by McKenzie Bloodstock in 2016, produced a colt by
Catalina Cruiser this term before being bred to Game Winner.

Sacred Life just overtakes Field Pass | Chelsea Durand
A Group 3 winner in his native France, the bay had just one
stakes win to his name since coming across the pond, in last
summer's Oceanport S. at Monmouth, but had been knocking on
the door of graded stakes glory, never finishing worse than
fourth in 11 U.S. starts., a stretch that included a third-place run
in the GI Maker's Mark Mile S. this April. Last seen finishing
second in a high-class allowance/optional claimer Aug. 29 at
Saratoga, he was made the fourth choice in an evenly-matched
field here and settled last but one in the field of nine as Field
Pass went clear through a :23.83 quarter and inched further
away past a :48.32 half. Stuck in a bit of traffic while given his
cue approaching the lane, the ridgling appeared to have too
much to do as late as the sixteenth pole, but flew home in the
final 50 yards to get up in the shadow of the wire.
AHe has no speed early on and I had to ride him,@ said winning
rider Jose Ortiz. AAt the six furlongs, I started pushing on him
and he was coming little by little. I knew sooner or later he
would pick it up and he picked up nicely around the half-mile
and then I just wanted for Rosario [Joel, aboard Breaking the
Rules] to go and I followed him. I had a lot of room to work with
[moving inside of Manny Franco aboard L=Imperator in the
stretch run] so I decided to do it. He was flying late. I just had to
keep him straight.@
Pedigree Notes:
One of 55 stakes winners and 27 group/graded stakes winners
for star sire Siyouni, Sacred Life is the first foal out of his dam,
who subsequently produced dual French GSP Khagan (Ire) (Le
Havre {Ire}) and sold for i700,000 to Ecurie des Monceaux at
the 2018 Arqana Deauville December Sale. She is responsible for
an unraced 3-year-old Sea The Stars (Ire) filly, a juvenile full-
sister to the winner named Savoureuse (GB) and a yearling
Kingman (GB) colt named Feed The Flame (GB), who hammered
for i270,000 earlier this year at the Arqana August Sale. Second
dam Katyusha is a half-sister to G1SW Rule of Law (Kingmambo).

Art of Almost closed from off the pace to upset Sunday's
GIII Ontario Matron S. at Woodbine. Eagerly away from post 1,
the dark bay was eased back to last--only about three lengths
from the front--through a pedestrian opening quarter in :25.25.
Still at the back following a half in :49.90, the D.J. Stable runner
was given her cue by Emma-Jayne Wilson approaching the
quarter pole and swung out several paths wide for the stretch
drive. Only about a length off the pace, the 8-1 chance ground
her way to the front midstretch and ran off to win by a 1 1/4
lengths over stablemate and 3-5 choice Skygaze (American
Pharoah) was runner up, while Juxtapose (Verrazano) stayed on
for third. Cont. p15

Art of Almost collects her first stakes winMichael Burns
AI wanted to get an outside run,@ explained Wilson. AShe can
be a little quirky out of the one-hole and I was looking to
position myself where I was in range, but could also work my
way to the outside, so that I could just get her going around the
turn.@
She added, AAs we straightened away, you can see I moved up
to them at the top of the stretch and she wasn't even quite
ready in full flight yet. So, I was pretty confident when we
measured up to Patrick [Husbands, Skygaze] and, when I really
reached for it and asked her, she gave me every she had.@
Conditioned by Canadian Hall of Fame trainer Roger Attfield
earlier in her career, Art of Almost was secured by her current
connections at Keeneland in January and marked her debut for
Mark Casse with a fifth in Gulfstream's GIII Honey Fox S. in
February. Seventh in the Sand Springs S. at the Hallandale oval in
March, she was given some time off before resurfacing with a
close-up third in an optional claimer at Woodbine July 3.
Switched to the main for her next start, she got up for the
narrow score over Afleet Katherine (Afleet Alex) July 24 before
finishing fourth behind winner Skygaze in the Sept. 12 Bel
Mahone S.
Pedigree Notes:
With her Ontario Matron win Sunday, Art of Almost becomes
the 151 black-type winner and 89th graded/group scorer for her
prolific sire Dansili. The first foal out of Reimpose, Art of Almost
RNA'd at Arqana as a weanling in 2016 before going unsold at
Fasig-Tipton's Florida sale in 2018 and again as a horse of racing
age the following November. Offered this past January at
Keeneland, she realized $290,000 from D.J. Stable. The winner's
dam, Reimpose, is also responsible for an unraced 3-year-old
filly by American Pharoah and a juvenile filly by Classic Empire.
She was bred to Justify this season. The 10-year-old mare is a
daughter of European highweight older route mare Rougeur
(Blushing Groom {Fr}), also responsible for dual Grade I-winning
Flute (Seattle Slew), herself the dam of GSW and GISP Filimbi
(Mizzen Mast). This represents the extended family of European
highweight route horse Brian Boru (GB) (Sadler's Wells).

Heading into Sunday's GIII Durham Cup at Woodbine, it
appeared to many to be a match up between Classic winners:
2020 Queen's Plate S. hero Mighty Heart (Dramedy) and 2019
GI Belmont S. victor Sir Winston, trained by Mark Casse. The Hall
of Famer was also represented by another legitimate contender,
Tap It to Win (Tapit), who bested Josie Carroll's reigning Horse
of the Year in his latest start. On race day, the money duly
poured in on the top three, however, Special Forces apparently
hadn't read the headlines. Cont. p16

Special Forces | Michael Burns
Coming into Sunday's race, the gelding hadn't visited the
winner's circle since winning the GII Autumn S. in the fall of
2019, in large part a result of having spent the entire 2020
season on the sidelines. In two starts this year, he hit the board
both times despite finishing behind all three of his main Durham
Cup rivals on those prior occasions. Marking his return from his
1 1/2-year hiatus Aug. 19, the 6-year-old finished runner-up to
Sir Winston in a $62,500 optional claimer at the Etobicoke oval
before rounding out the trifecta behind Tap It to Win and
Mighty Heart in the GIII Seagram Cup S. Sept. 11.
Sent off at 6-1 this time, Special Forces, with Justin Stein in the
irons for the first time, was taken back to last of five as Tap It to
Win led through an opening quarter in :24.17 as Halo Again, also
returning after more than a year away from the races, was a
close second. Meanwhile, Mighty Heart and Sir Winston sat third
and fourth, respectively. Tap It to Win continued to set the pace
through a half in :47.96 as the field began to constrict
approaching the quarter pole. The widest of all turning for
home, Special Forces loomed as Halo Again led narrowly while
Tap It to Win began to weaken and Sir Winston took his shot in
between rivals. Carrying the most momentum late, Special
Forces forged clear to score by a half-length over Sir Winston,
who held Halo Again safe in third. Mighty Heart was fourth and
Tap It to Win rounded out the field. Despite a few anxious
moments stemming from a stewards= inquiry involving the top
three finishers, the order of finish was allowed to stand
unchanged.
AI worked him a couple times and he=s a lot of horse,@ said
Stein. AI was just the lucky jock to get on him. [Trainer] Kevin
[Attard] and his team have done an amazing job with him. He
crushed today. He=s a champ.@
Attard added, AWe had to be very patient with him. Obviously,
the COVID season kind of hampered his chances of getting back
last year, but we elected to kind of back off and give him the
rest of the year off. He was disrespected today, but this horse
was probably one of the better older horses on the grounds
here in 2019 and kind of got disrespected todayYbut showed his
true colors.@
Pedigree Notes:
Having already established herself in the breeding shed,
Special Me is responsible for the talented dual graded stakes
winning and Grade I placed Stonetastic (Mizzen Mast), an earner
of over $850,000 through her four-season racing career. It
wasn't long before the daughter of Unbridled's Song came up
with another ace in millionaire Gift Box (Twirling Candy), who
registered his biggest career win in the GI Santa Anita H. More
recently, she produced a filly by Medaglia d'Oro in 2018 and a
filly by Into Mischief the following season. She was bred back to
the Spendthrift stallion this term.

GALILEAN TO STAND AT HIDDEN LAKE FARM Multiple stakes winner Galilean (Uncle Mo--Fresia, by El Prado
{Ire}), who hails from the female family of the influential Smart
Strike, has been retired from racing and will take up his new
career as a stallion at Hidden Lake Farm in New York, where he
will stand the 2022 breeding season for a stud fee of $7,000
S&N.
AWe are proud of what Galilean accomplished on the
racetrack,@ said West Point Thoroughbreds= Terry Finley, Aand
we=re excited for him to write his next chapter as a stallion. He
was precocious, fast, and he proved his class repeatedly in top
company. We believe he has the looks, the pedigree, and the
type of dangerous miler speed to make his mark as a stallion.
We are committed to supporting Galilean with some of our top
mares, and we=re excited to offer him to New York breeders.@
Campaigned by West Point Thoroughbreds, Denise Barker, and
William Sandbrook, Galilean was bought by West Point
Thoroughbreds for $600,000 out of Eddie Woods= consignment
at the 2018 Barretts 2-Year-Olds in Training Sale. He picked up
victories in the Barretts Juvenile S. and King Glorious S. as a
juvenile and added a score in the California Cup Derby as well as
a third in the GII Rebel S. at three in 2019. He also captured the
Soi Phet S., California Dreamin S. and California Flag H. last year.
The bay, who was trained by Jerry Hollendorfer, retires with a
record of 16-6-1-3 and earnings of $592,522.

Hat Creek Racing's Averly Jane powered home a
much-the-best winner in Keeneland's Indian Summer S., a 'Win
and You're In' race for the GII Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf Sprint
at Del Mar Nov. 5. Undefeated in three prior starts for trainer
Wesley Ward, including a commanding score in Saratoga's
Skidmore S. Aug. 20, she was installed the 4-5 choice while
facing the boys and getting blinkers off here. To the front like a
shot, she rolled through opening splits of :21.64 and :44.50.
Turning on all boosters late, Averly Jane crossed the wire a
commanding four-length winner over stablemate Kaufymaker.
With the win, Averly Jane set a new stakes record of 1:02.65 for
5 1/2 furlongs. Cont. p2

AIt doesn=t really matter [what surface she runs on]. She=s justa quality filly,@ said rider Tyler Gaffalione of the winner. AShe=sgot a tremendous amount of speed, and she just keeps going.She=s one of the fastest [out of the gate] I=ve ever been on. Shealmost throws you in the back seat. She=s a lot of fun.@ The Indian Summer marked Averly Jane's third score over coltsas she'd also faced and beaten them in both the Skidmore and inChurchill's Apr. 28 Kentucky Juvenile S. The bay filly has facedher own gender just once when debuting with an 8 3/4-lengthvictory Apr. 15 at Keeneland. The Indian Summer was her firststart on the lawn. Trainer Ward also won the Indian Summer in 2019 withanother filly in Kimari (Munnings), whose further exploitsincluded victory in Keeneland's GI Madison S. this past April. Sh Sh Shakin' has also produced 2018 Skidmore winnerChattel, whose injuries sustained when clipping heels and fallingin the stretch at Kentucky Downs later that year caused hisdeath. The mare also has a yearling colt by Brody's Cause, whosold for $45,000 to Emerald Farm as a Fasig-Tipton shortyearling, and was bred to World of Trouble for next term.

One day after his freshman sire Cupid (Tapit) was represented
by his first stakes winner, God of Love became number two, and
winner number nine overall, as he broke his maiden in the
lucrative Cup and Saucer S. at Woodbine. Trainer Mark Casse
and co-owner Gary Barber made up the exacta for good
measure.
Faring no better than seventh as the 2-1 chalk in his main-track
sprint unveiling Sept. 12, the chestnut broke last before settling
in towards the back of the pack as favored stablemate Fast Feet
showed the way. God of Love still had lots of work to do after six
furlongs in 1:15.44, but forced his way out at the top of the lane
and leveled off in midstretch to kick on to the wire.
AI tried to get closer, because I know the turf is soft and we
didn't want to be stuck behind too many horses, but he refused
to go early,@ said winning rider Rafael Hernandez of his trip. AHe
said, >Nah.= He was staying back, so I said we will try to make it in
one run. I put him in gear, and he gave one run, and he came
flying down the lane.@
The winner, who breezed in :10 flat at OBS March, has a foal
half-sister by Where's the Ring. His dam, who is a half to MGISW

The Sky Is Falling turned the table on a number of these foes
to become the first black-type winner for her freshman sire (by
Tapit). A debut winner at 2-5 odds going 4 1/2 panels here
Sept. 3, the dark bay wheeled back in 15 days to be fifth behind
Fancy Her Up, O K Smarty Pants and two other re-opposing foes
in the Rachel's Turn S. Let go at longshot odds while stretching
out to two turns, The Sky Is Falling settled in midpack while
saving ground into the first bend. She was scrubbed on between
rivals to take closer order leaving the backside, ranged up three
deep into the stretch and leveled off best to out-finish O K
Smarty Pants. The winner's owner David Raim bought her
yearling half-brother by Tapwrit for $82,000 at the Fasig-Tipton
Midlantic Fall Yearlings sale earlier in the week. Miss Henny

ALL LUCK (f, 2, Quality Road--My Lady Luck, by Hard Spun), the
Aother@ Brad Cox runner signed on here, made the early lead
and kept finding late defeat winners Sunday. Tenth in her turf
unveiling at Ellis Aug. 14, the dark bay looked like a different
horse with Lasix added as she pressed and prevailed by 2 3/4
lengths in a rained-off two-turn test at Indiana Grand Sept. 15.
Flattered when the runner-up from that race came back to air
by five lengths, she was let go at 7-1 while her stablemate and
P.G. Johnson S. runner-up Let's Be Clear (Munnings) vied for
favoritism with GIII Pocahontas S. fourth Code for Success
(Honor Code). All Luck was hustled away from the gate by
Florent Geroux to seize the early advantage with Manasota
Sunset (Outwork) prompting. She posted splits of :23.80 and
:48.20, but was hard ridden heading for home as Manasota
Sunset ranged up on even terms and put a half-length in front.
It turned out All Luck was only playing possum, however, as she
re-broke at the top of the lane and pulled away late to post the
2 1/4-length decision. Code for Success rallied for fourth from
far back, while Let's Be Clear never factored in sixth. The winner
is half to Lucky Curlin (Curlin), MGSP, $188,362; a yearling colt
by Into Mischief who brought $100,000 at KEESEP; and a foal
colt by Flameaway. My Lady Luck was bred to Constitution for

given a 4-1 chance off an unassuming worktab for his high

clear in upper stretch and kicked on nicely from there en route
to a promising four-length score. Longshot fellow firster
Parquetry (Temple City) got his nose down for second. The

DAISY BEE (f, 2, English Channel--For the Memories, by A.P.

sprint July 29, and improved significantly on speed figures filling
the same slot when stretched out on the grass at Kentucky
Downs Sept. 12. Let go at 10-1 here, the homebred doled out
splits of :23.58, :48.17 and 1:13.10 before fending off foes from
both sides in the lane to prevail by 1 1/2 lengths. Trobairitz
(Summer Front), who also exited a race at Kentucky Downs and
couldn't quite punch through a tight opening inside of the
winner, completed the exacta. The winner is a granddaughter of
GISW Friendly Michelle (Artax). She has a yearling half-brother

favorite after slight trouble going seven panels over a wet/fast
track at Churchill Sept. 19. Bettors kept the faith Sunday to back
her down to 7-10, and they were rewarded. Off awkwardly from
the fence, the Godolphin homebred recovered to stalk from the
pocket. She was switched out for clear sailing heading for home,
vied for command while three deep after six panels in an easy

{GSP-Ire, SP-Eng}, by Galileo {Ire}) kicked off his career in the
Belmont slop with a third as the 9-5 favorite in an off-turf test at
five furlongs May 29 before improving a position while
stretching to a mile over the Woodbine lawn for the Sept. 19 GI
Summer S. Slightly awkwardly off the blocks this time, the 2-5
choice headed Hagemeister Street (Nyquist), who got first jump
but was soon caught by the favorite as they cut out an opening
quarter mile in :23.71. Moving easily through a half in :47.83,
the handsome bay was still in front as stablemate Luckman
(Empire Maker) assumed second. Set down to the task in the
stretch, Grafton Street continued to march on and had enough
left in the tank to score by 1 3/4 lengths. Next on the colt's
dance card is the GI Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf at Del Mar Nov.

turn to shine Sunday. Breaking on top, she welcomed two others
to join her at the head of the class through a :21.87 first quarter,
then had already pulled clear by the :45.47 half. Gritty Girl drew
away with ease as the 8-5 favorite, winning by 3 1/4 lengths
over Warren's Queen Bee (Clubhouse Ride). The winner is the

THE WEEKLY WRAP: IN THEEYE OF THE SALES STORM
By Emma Berry
The lungs have been filled and we go again. Book 2 of the
Tattersalls October Yearling Sale kicks off on Monday, launching
another six days of activity at Park Paddocks. If that action is
anywhere near as frenetic as it was during Book 1, then there
will be plenty of happy breeders and vendors in Newmarket this
week.
In a fashion particularly seen at elite sales, Book 1 was perhaps
a little slowly into stride last Tuesday, as buyers and consignors
alike tried to get a handle on the market. But the trade
strengthened day by day, and if there weren't quite as many of
the type of lots which bring the ring to an awed hush as the
price climbs ever skyward, the most encouraging aspect of the
three sessions was a high median throughout, indicating strong
demand in the >middle' market. Of course the middle market
varies sale by sale, and it becomes increasingly important as this
week goes on as we try to ascertain the level of demand across
the range of yearling sectors. Signs have been largely
encouraging since the yearling sales got underway in August,
however, and there's no reason to expect that to change this
week, certainly not for Book 2 anyway.
ADAYAR POSSIBLE FOR QIPCO CHAMPION S. Godolphin=s G1 Cazoo Derby and G1 King George VI and
Queen Elizabeth S. winner Adayar (Ire) (Frankel {GB}) might be
seen once more this season in the G1 QIPCO Champion S. at
Ascot on Oct. 16. Fourth in the G1 Qatar Prix de l=Arc de
Triomphe after leading into the home straight, the bay has been
pleasing trainer Charlie Appleby since his run in Paris.
AHe will be left in the Champion S. tomorrow, for the simple
reason at the moment he has come out of the Arc well,@
Appleby told Racing TV=s Luck On Sunday. AShould connections
ask me next week how the horse is, and I say >jumping around=
and they say >where can we go?=, I=d look a bit daft saying I=d
taken him out of the Champion S. on the Monday.
AHe will stay in tomorrow. We=ve an open book and should
connections want to run him again and I can=t at that time give a
negative for not to run him, then the Champion S. will be looked
at.@ Cont. p16

In The Eye Of The Sales Storm Cont. from p1
Last week the demand from American buyers was stronger
than ever, which has been a growing trend in Book 1. Notably,
the Sea The Stars (Ire) colt bought by Bill Farish's Woodford
Racing from Watership Down Stud for 1.2 million gns will remain
in the UK at least for the early part of his racing career, while
Craig Bernick of Florida's Glen Hill Farm, who has a number of
horses in training in Europe, indicated that he is likely to start his
Kingman filly, purchased for 650,000gns, in Europe, too. The
daughter of Ring The Bell (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) typified the hugely
international aspect of the modern-day bloodstock industry:
bred by Australian John Camilleri at Hazelwood Bloodstock just
outside Newmarket, she is now owned by an American and is
likely to go into training in Ireland or France.
Along with around 50 yearlings purchased last week to go to
America, at least another eight will be heading to Australia. The
international demand for European bloodlines is a double-edged
sword, however. On the one hand, it pays a great compliment to
breeders, particularly in Britain and Ireland, who have
developed such renowned families which can produce runners
to be competitive in the world's best turf races.
But we must beware of a potential equine talent drain, which
is now significant when taking into account the
horses-in-training market, both public and private sales, for
runners with decent form. British owners will find it especially
hard to turn down lucrative offers when prize-money levels
remain so low, and despite the warning bell having been
sounding for years now, those in charge of British racing
continue to turn a deaf ear. There's only so much that can be
blamed on Covid, and this dire situation predated the pandemic.
Checks and Balances With Shadwell having announced an impending serious
reduction of stock some weeks in advance of the October Sale, it
was clear that the name that has become a bedrock of the
buyers' sheets at Tattersalls over many years would not feature
in 2021. Prior to Sheikh Hamdan's death in March, his Shadwell
Estates had been a significant investor at the Orby Sale and at
Book 1, but it is perhaps Book 2 at which the absence will be
most keenly felt, as Shadwell has been increasingly prominent
among the leading buyers in the part of the sale over the last
decade with some 47 million gns spent on 347 Book 2 yearlings
during that time. Cont. p3

Tattersalls
The Weekly Wrap Cont.
Juddmonte and Cheveley Park Stud have both lost key figures
this year with the deaths of Prince Khalid Abdullah and David
Thompson, but both operations clearly still have an eye on
long-term planning and made
select purchases of Book 1 fillies
to introduce some new bloodlines
to their broodmare bands
eventually.
There are clearly gaps to fill but
Sheikha Fatima Bint Hazza Bin
Zayed Al Nayhan's Al Shira'aa
Farms has been a welcome
addition to the list of buyers at
Goffs and Tattersalls, with some
blue-blooded fillies having been
recruited as foundation mares for
her operation at Meadow Court
Stud in Ireland. As a statement of
intent, signing up half-sisters to
Waldgeist (GB), Poetic Flare (Ire)
and Mother Earth (Ire) is a pretty strong one.
Another reason to be cheerful, for now at least, can be
gleaned from the fact that we are in a golden era for stallions in
this part of the world. Yes, the sun has now set on the
remarkable Galileo (Ire), but his own son is rising so fast that it is
hard to see Frankel (GB) not becoming champion sire for the
first time this year. Galileo's half-brother Sea The Stars (Ire) was
a little unfortunate that Frankel
came along so soon after his own
magnificent racing season of 2009
because he truly would have been
a standout racehorse in any other
era. He too remains a force to be
reckoned with as a stallion and it
was rather pleasing to see two of
his yearlings within the top three
slots, including the sale-topping
filly out of Best Terms (GB)
(Exceed And Excel {Aus}).
Her appearance in the ring on
Thursday also brought with it a
rare sales visit by Robert Barnett,
whose family has maintained a
stalwart presence among the
British owner/breeder ranks throughout the last century which
has hinged largely on the equine family from which this filly
emanates. Cont. p4

"We've been in this racket a long time," said Barnett with a
smile after his filly sold to Sheikh MohammedBBwho was
present at Tattersalls throughout Book 1BBfor 1.5 million gns.
Since the sale of Fair Winter Farm in 2017, the Barnett mares
have resided at Newsells Park Stud, which was the leading
consignor at Book 1 with some excellent results both from their
own stock and that of their clients and partners, including
Gestut Ammerland and Andrew Stone of St Albans Bloodstock.
It's nothing new for Newsells Park to top Book 1BBJulian Dollar
and his team have pulled this off for the last four years running
and six times in totalBBbut this year was perhaps extra sweet as
it is the first with new stud owner Graham Smith-Bernal at the
helm.
A brief chat with Andrew Stone, breeder of the Group 1
winners God Given (GB) and Postponed (Ire), served as a good
reminder of the level of investment, both financial and
emotional, required in producing these horses. After selling a
Frankel (GB) half-brother to Mrs Sippy for 925,000gns to
Coolmore, Stone appeared close to tears and admitted that he
felt quite emotional watching the horse go through the ring.
Breeders of all sizes need to sell some stock to keep the wheels
turning, but even when great financial reward is involved, only
the hardest of hearts will find it easy to part with animals whose
very existence has, in many cases, been carefully planned for
generations. It is clearly bittersweet to see them go, even when
the price is right.
What Next? Sometimes updates go your way, and sometimes they don't. In
the case of the Saxon Warrior (Jpn) filly out of Archangel Gabriel
(Arch) sold last week by Stauffenberg Bloodstock, there was a
bit of both. Her half-sister Ville De Grace (GB) (Le Havre {Ire})
won a listed race for owner/breeders Hunscote Stud and Chris
Humber on Sept. 21, but the day after the yearling sold for
325,000gns, her 3-year-old sister stepped up again to land the
G3 Pride S. at Newmarket.
Ahead of the start of Book 2, perfect timing was kept by
Malavath (Ire) (Mehmas {Ire}). At the time of the catalogues
being printed, the ,120,000 Arqana Breeze-up graduate was still
unraced but she's been a busy girl in the interim and has now
won two of her four starts, including Saturday's G2 Criterium de
Maisons-Laffitte. It will come as no surprise that the filly was
bred by Tally-Ho Stud, who can't stop producing winners this
season. Malavath's full-brother can be found in box 633 in the
Right Yard, and will sell on Monday as lot 552.

Bred by Jim Bolger, the colt's dam Fidaaha (Ire) (New
Approach {Ire}) was bought by Tally-Ho from the Shadwell draft
at the Goffs November Sale four years ago for just i15,000. A
four-race maiden herself, Fidahaa is a sister to two Group/Grade
3 winners and from the family of Shergar (GB).
This year is the only one in which yearlings by the late Roaring
Lion will be available and a half-brother by him to one of this
season's leading juvenile fillies, Sandrine (GB), by another son of
Kitten's Joy in Bobby's Kitten, is one of four yearlings from
Kirsten Rausing's Staffordstown draft (lot 952). Like Tally-Ho
Stud, Rausing's Lanwades Stud has been represented by winners
left, right and centre this season, with Sandrine making a
significant contribution by winning the G3 Albany S. at Royal
Ascot, followed by the G2 Duchess of Cambridge S.
Ebro River (Ire) (Galileo Gold {GB}) and Bayside Boy (Ire) (New
Bay {GB}) are two group-winning colts to have graduated from
last year's sale at 75,000gns and 200,000gns apiece. Sadly, both
their yearling half-siblings have been withdrawn from the
October Sale, but there are bound to be plenty of gems to be
found throughout the week at Park Paddocks as Europe's largest
yearling sale continues. Starting from 10 a.m. each day, around
800 yearlings are set to sell in Book 2 over the next three days,
and it's fair to expect some pretty brisk trade.

RACING=S SUSTAINABILITY, TV COVERAGE
AMONG TOPICS OF IFHA CONFERENCEBy Kelsey Riley
The International Conference of Horseracing Authorities was
held virtually in 2021 for the second consecutive year owing to
challenges presented by the global pandemic, and speakers
during the 55th edition of the conferenceBorganized by the
International Federation of Horseracing Authorities--examined
racing=s global evolution and future challenges. The conference
in its entirety can be accessed via the video link above or as a
podcast.
Allen Hershkowitz, environmental science advisor to the New
York Yankees and founding director and chairman of Sports and
Sustainability International, spoke about the threats presented
by climate change and how racing can put sustainability into
practice.
AWe are in an urgent situation,@ Hershkowitz stressed. ASome
scientists have begun referring to the circumstances that we=re
in as a human extinction event. As temperatures go up, right
now there is 100% likelihood that we will go from a 1.1 degree
celsius temperature increase to a 1.5 degree celsius
temperature increase by 2040. There is a more than 50% chance
that will go to three or four degrees celsius by 2080.
AIt=s impossible to imagine the catastrophes that will result
from that level of temperature increase. None of this is good for
horse racing or horse farms in general. We already know that
many races have been cancelled because of heat, many tracks
have been damaged because of floods. Many races and tracks
are suffering from drought, and of course many races and tracks
are affected by fires.@
While climate change is certainly a hot topic, Hershkowitz was
quick to stress that sustainability is about far more. Cont. p7
Dubawi’s stallion sons are excelling, too. Plus he’s the broodmare sire of the Derby winner. No wonder his auction stock made up to 1,250,000gns last week.

AWhen we speak about sustainability, it=s important to
remember it isn=t just about climate action,@ he said. AIn 2015,
the United Nations brought together 198 countries to agree on a
set of Sustainable Development Goals. There are 17 of them,
and they include poverty alleviation, eliminating hunger, good
health; when we talk about sustainability, it=s not just about
climate.@
Hershkowitz provided examples that some major league sports
teams and venues are taking to address sustainability, and the
positive impact it can have on their bottom line. The Orlando
Magic Basketball team cut its energy use by 25% for $750,000 in
savings annually. The Seattle Mariners cut natural gas use by
66% and electricity use by 30%, resulting in $500,000 in savings
annually. The Staples Center, home to professional basketball
and hockey teams in Los Angeles, saved $28,000 annually and
cut out the use of seven million gallons of water by installing 178
waterless urinals.
And it isn=t just American sports that are making strides.
ARight now, every professional sports league in the United
States and in Europe has a sustainability programme,@
Hershkowitz said. AThe International Olympic Committee has
produced a spectacular environmental sustainability strategy
that goes to 2030 and beyond. It obligates venues that want to
bid on the Olympics to implement environmentally intelligent
practices.@
Hershkowitz laid out some of the ways in which racing can
work on its sustainability.
AOne of the most important things I think a sports organization
can do at the moment is to make sure your employees at your
venues are safe,@ he said. AWe=re still struggling with a global
pandemic. Sustainable development goal number three is good
health. Economic health is dependant on human health, and
human health is dependant on planetary health. But planetary
health is also dependant on economic health. If we can=t make
investments into new technologies we=re not going to work our
way through the various ecological crises we face.
AHorse racing is fundamentally connected to the agriculture
sector, and the agriculture sector is really getting stressed
through climate impacts. There is no one thing that any racing
organization can do that=s going to get us out of this situation,
unfortunately, but every little thing matters. What we need to
do is have the courage to do small things.@
Those small things could include the installation of electric
vehicle chargers at racecourses, using catering services that
utilize sustainability menus and support local food producers,
and digitalizing media guides or racecards. Cont. p8

Hershkowitz stressed the importance of establishing a baseline
so that an organization knows what its current impacts are and
what it is working towards. He said two terms that all sports
organizations should become
familiar with are
Adematerialization@ and
Adecarbonization.@
ADecarbonization is about how
can we reduce our emissions of
carbon through energy and
procurement, like how we
supply food,@ he explained.
ADematerialization is about how
can we reduce the need to buy
physical products that can be
supplied digitally.@
AThe single most important
thing we can do to promote
sustainability is to change
cultural attitudes and
expectations about how to
relate to the planet,@ Hershkowitz added. AHow should we relate
to the ecosystems that give us water to drink? That give us air to
breathe? We=re treating the atmosphere like a sewer. This is
why your organization having a conversation about this issue is
so important.
ARegulators are increasingly looking at how organizations are
managing their energy and their
climate. Investors don=t want to
be associated with organizations
that aren=t being sustainability
smart. For future legitimacy, the
social license to operate, taking
responsibility for your
sustainability impacts is
fundamental.@
Racing=s Television Future Michael Mulvihill, executive
vice president, head of strategy
and analytics at American

space of five years. Cont. p9

Horses round the clubhouse turn at Saratoga | Sarah Andrew
IFHA Conference Cont.
A large leap was made during the early months of the
pandemic last year, when American racing continued while most
sports worldwide came to a standstill.
ABecause there was such an
absence of live sports, we were
able to elevate our content from
Belmont and Saratoga from a
network called FOX Sports 2,
which is in about 50 million
homes, to FOX Sports 1, which at
that time was in closer to 80
million homes,@ Mulvihill said.
AOur viewership went up by over
100%; wagering was way up
during the pandemic. It=s delicate
to talk about taking advantage of
that situation because it=s
obviously a worldwide challenge,
but I think the reality is that as a
business, horse racing in the U.S. was able to take advantage of
the circumstances and enjoy some growth. And we=ve been able
to continue that into 2021 as the pandemic has abated a bit.@
FOX earlier this year exercised an option it held to become a
25% equity partner in NYRA=s advanced deposit wagering
platform NYRA Bets, and Mulvihill said he thinks there is a direct
correlation between that partnership and the exponential
growth in wagering at Saratoga this summerBall sources handle
on New York=s premiere meeting
was $815-million, which cleared
the previous record by about
$100-million.
AI think it=s that equity piece
specifically that makes our
relationship unique,@ he said.
ATraditionally, the relationship
between media and horse racing
is a very traditional content and
advertising relationship. You pay a
rights fee for the content, you
produce it as well as you can, you
sell advertising against the
viewership of that content, and
that=s as far as it goes. Now that
we have the stake we have in NYRA Bets, it really incentivises us
to promote the wagering, assist in the mainstreaming of
wagering in the U.S. and to try to grow the asset value of NYRA
Bets in the U.S.@ Cont. p10

I really think that the way we produce
our shows is something of a blueprint for
the future of sports television in the U.S.
I’d like to believe we’re setting a pretty
good example of incorporating wagering,
recognizing that wagering is an
important part of the event, but also still
primarily covering it as a sports event
first.”--Michael Mulvihill, FOX Sports
IFHA Conference Cont.
FOX has the option to acquire another 24.9% of NYRA Bets,
something Mulvihill said he believes will be exercised Ain the
relatively near future.@
FOX=s coverage is renowned
for striking a balance between
sophisticated handicapping
angles and traditional sports
programming, and Mulvihill said
that was the goal of the network
even before the deal was done
to buy into NYRA Bets.
AFrom the time we initiated
this content five years ago, our
intent was to do a daily
production that was really
specifically targeted at day in,
day out horseplayers and people
who put a significant amount of
money through the windows and
are the lifeblood of this
business,@ he said. AIf you look at
horse racing on American TV, there is the Triple Crown and the
Breeders= Cup that are held by NBC and they do a beautiful job
producing those events for a general sports viewership. There is
TVG, which is produced for a day in, day out horse playing
audience, but they=re producing a lot of tracks so they don=t get
to spend a lot of time on one
track in particular.
AWhat we wanted to do was
carve out an in between path
where we could focus on just
one track, one circuit, and really
devote the time and attention
we felt the NYRA tracks
deserved, and also elevate the
production value a bit. We very
much wanted to be open in
encouraging people to play the
game, open a NYRA Bets account
and engage in handicapping.@
In 2018, the U.S. Supreme
Court ruled that individual states
could legalize sports betting, and
a number have already done so.

Mulvihill said that FOX=s horse racing coverage could serve as
an example for other sports and programmes of how to weave
wagering angles into their coverage.
AI really think that the way we produce our shows is something
of a blueprint for the future of sports television in the U.S.,@ he
said. AI=d like to believe we=re setting a pretty good example of
incorporating wagering, recognizing that wagering is an
important part of the event, but also still primarily covering it as
a sports event first. I think 10 years from now, that=s how all
sports will be presented on American TV.@
Until recently, horse racing has held a monopoly as the only
American sporting event that accepted betting. While the
legalization of sports wagering can easily be viewed as a threat
to racing, Mulvihill said he sees it as an opportunity to promote
racing to a new audience.
AI think that=s already happening,@ he said. AI think it=s reflected
in those Saratoga figures we talked about earlier. I think that
indicates that there is a rediscovery of horse racing happening in
the U.S. I think the fact that we=ve had two Triple Crown winners
in the last decade helps. I think the opportunity that racing was
able to take advantage of during the peak of the pandemic
helps, and I think racing in some ways has been repositioned as
a great social activity and a great day out.@
AIt=s a pivotal moment for racing, and I think the industry in the
U.S. has capitalized on it,@ Mulvihill added. AI think the next step
in that transformation is going to be the introduction of HISA
[the Horse Racing Safety and Integrity Act, the legislation that
will regulate American racing on a national level] and letting the
public know that there are credible and meaningful safeguards
around safety and integrity so that when they do come to the
track to enjoy that day out, they know the horses and riders are
being well-cared for and that their wagering is being conducted
on an event that is held at the highest possible level of integrity.
AIf you combine all those thingsBthe safety and integrity, the
emphasis on racing as a fun social activity, the recent Triple
Crown winners and the momentum we have coming out of the
pandemic--it really is a once-in-a-generation opportunity for
horse racing.@
Mulvihill said he hopes FOX=s racing coverage expands beyond
the shores of the U.S. to encompass some of the sports greatest
events globally.
AWe would love to further the presence that we have in
international racing,@ he said. AI really want FOX Sports and our
networks to be the American home for the great events in
racing around the world. We=ve had great experiences with the
Dubai World Cup and the Saudi Cup, and we want to find ways
to bring more of that content to our networks.@ Cont. p12

Equine Welfare The advancement of equine welfare and aftercare of the
Thoroughbred racehorse is an area in which the industry has
made huge strides globally in recent years, and in which there
will always be work to do and room for improvement. Jamie
Stier, chair of the IFHA Horse Welfare Committee and Racing
Victoria=s executive general manager, integrity services, and Di
Arbuthnot, chief executive for Retraining of Racehorses and
chair of the International Forum for the Aftercare of Racehorses,
joined the conference to share updates on equine welfare and
aftercare.
Stier spoke on the importance and wide implications of
traceability of the Thoroughbred from birth through the
lifecycle.
ATraceability is a really interesting and hot topic at the
moment,@ he said. AIt has two components to it: there is the
welfare component, but there=s also the biosecurity component.
In a lot of countries biosecurity relates to prevention of disease
and being able to trace horses if there is an outbreak of disease,
which is in their best health interests, and of course welfare.
ABut if you look across the lifecycle of a horse, traceability is so
important because we need to know where our horses are. We
need to get a proper picture of where our horses are ending up.
It helps us identify gaps and all sorts of lifetime experiences of
the horse and how we can structure our programmes to support
horses. Traceability is imperative if we=re going to provide
proper care to our horses. Equally if we have good traceability
data, it enables us as a sport to be able speak positively,
comfortably and very assertively about our sport, what we are
doing and the provisions we=re providing our horses.@
Stier noted that Racing Victoria is allocating significant
resources to aftercare and welfare incentives, like providing
trainers access to sophisticated diagnostic tools to identify
potential injuries earlier; launching a platform for the
registration of ex-racehorses and providing grants to
programmes that can place off-track Thoroughbreds with less
post-racing athletic potential.
AWe=ve introduced programmes here in Victoria geared
towards assisting and incentivizing trainers to use the best
diagnostic tools available to them to ensure their horse receives
the best treatment during its racing career,@ Stier explained.
AWe=re also investing a lot in research that will help us to earlier
recognize the potential onset of lameness and cause of
lameness. All that is geared toward providing a second career
for the horse post-racing.@
AWe=ve launched an off the track platform where people are
now registering their horses,@ he added.

AWe=re incentivizing people not just at the first transfer after
racingBthat=s covered by the rules of racing here, people must
notify us where the horse goes for its first transferBbut what
we=ve found through the incentives we=re offering through the
off the track community is that when horses are in their teens,
we=re still getting people identifying with us where their horses
are,@ he continued. ASo we=re getting that picture well beyond
the first transfer out of racing.@
Racing Victoria=s programme
also covers horses with limited
athletic potential after their
racing careers, with grants
offered for equine therapy
programmes that use ex-
racehorses.
Arbuthnot noted there has
been a steep increase in the
numbers of ex-racehorses
competing in disciplines like
dressage in Britain, and that
there has been a concerted effort
to showcase the athletic abilities
of ex-racehorses and to create a
demand for them in the sport
horse community.
AIt=s about contacts within the
industry and within the equestrian world to try and build this
programme and to make the Thoroughbred fashionable,@ she
explained. AWhen RoR started, racehorses might have been
taken on by professionals and got to a high level, but they
weren=t popular with the equestrian world. Having seen one of
the very good trainers at Blenheim last week, he said RoR had
changed the programme in the equestrian world; it was
revolutionary. And I think that=s because the professionals
helped us in those early days to make them popular, so now we
have a market.@
Arbuthnot reiterated how IFAR is working to advance aftercare
globally, which is especially important in light of recent damning
reports in the media in both Australia and Ireland about ex-
racehorses winding up in abattoirs.
AIFAR is a forum for discussion, for improving best practice and
getting out to all the racing jurisdictions around the world and
trying to encourage them to have some sort of aftercare
programme in place,@ she said. AThe group has put together an
aftercare toolkit, which is about lifetime management,
transitioning strategies, safety
nets, equine therapy and
community engagement,
Thoroughbred advocacy and
networking. We went to Japan in
those earlier days and they have
a wonderful programme in place
now. We=ve been engaged with
South Korea, and recently
Malaysia and we=re working with
the European racing jurisdictions
as well. France has come on
hugely in the last few years. We
are all working together to help
each other.@
Arbuthnot reiterated that Awe
are all associated@ with some of
the troubling reporting that has
surfaced in mainstream media, and that it is up to everyone in
racing to make aftercare a priority.
AWhatever happens anywhere around the world reflects on us
all, and that=s what we have to be aware of,@ she said. AWe must
all do more to help and work together to show racing cares. It=s
non-negotiable.
AThe average person watching racing is saying, >what happens

IFHA Conference Cont.
Winfried Engelbrecht-Bresges succeeds Louis Romanet as
chairman of the IFHA following Romanet=s 27-year term, and he
likewise addressed the importance of looking to racing=s future
in his keynote address.
AThe 55th International Conference of the IFHA comes at a
most significant time for our sport and the world,@ said
Engelbrecht-Bresges. AWe face major macro challenges arising
from the pandemic and climate change. More than ever, we
must work together and harness the wealth of talent and
expertise within our membership to not only face these
challenges, but ensure that our sport thrives in the short,
medium, and long term.
AThis conference gives us the opportunity to look forward at
some key parts of the IFHA=s strategy for the future. We are
fortunate to have world-class speakers sharing their insights
regarding digitalisation and media, equine welfare, climate
change and sustainability.@
NEW BAY=S SEA BAY IMPRESSES IN
COLOGNE by Sean Cronin
Gestut Winterhauch=s 2-year-old colt Sea Bay (Ger) (New Bay
{GB}) graduated with a one-length win in his Aug. 22 debut over
seven furlongs at Hannover, but slipped to fourth when upped
to one mile for Dusseldorf=s Sept. 12 Listed Junioren Preis in his
only other start. He had finished behind the reopposing Ariolo
(Ger) (Reliable Man {GB}) and Millionaire (Ger) (Adlerflug {Ger})
on stakes bow last time, but overturned that form and found
plenty more besides to make Sunday=s G3 Preis des
Winterfavoriten all his own as he took the one-mile Cologne
feature in supremely impressive style.
Sea Bay charted a wide course underneath the trees, in the
wake of stablemate Millionaire, along the backstraight and
made the cut across to join the main body of the field in second
approaching the home turn. Looming large on the bridle as the
69-10 chance=s rivals became increasingly flustered in the
straight, he was given a shake of the reins by Adrie de Vries just
inside the quarter-mile marker and unleashed immediate
acceleration, powering clear as the remainder appeared trapped
in slow motion to stop the clock in splendid isolation. Sea Bay
finished nine lengths ahead of Schwarzer Peter (Ger) (Neatico
{Ger}), sealing a first edition of Germany=s most prestigious
juvenile contest for trainer Henk Grewe, with Schwarzer Peter=s
Markus Klug-trained stablemates See Hector (Ger)
(Counterattack {Aus}) and Ariolo passing the post a head and
3/4-of-a-length further back in third and fourth. The nine-length
winning margin was the largest since Globus (Ger) Areion {Ger})
romped home by 10 lengths in 2008.
AThere was plenty of debate in the stable beforehand and his
work on Monday was so good that we went into the race with a
lot of confidence,@ Grewe told GaloppOnline. AIt was always the
plan to go to the outside, the tactics worked to perfection and
he won very impressively at the finish. He thoroughly deserved
it and is now entitled to have a winter break.@

G3 Preis des Winterfavoriten Cont.
Winning rider Adrie de Vries, after notching his this third win
in the race, added, AThe trainer made a good decision to apply
for the outer box. Good horses put you on the right track and,
when I came into the straight with my hands full, I only had to
press the button and he was gone.@
Pedigree Notes Sea Bay is the third of four foals and second black-type scorer
produced by a winning full-sister to stakes-winning G2 Oleander-
Rennen placegetter San Salvador (Ger) (Lord of England {Ger})
and G3 Deutsches St Leger runner-up Saratino (Ger) (Lord of
England {Ger}). He becomes the fourth pattern-race winner for
his second-crop sire and is a half-brother to last week=s Listed
Silbernes Band der Ruhr victrix Samoa (Ger) (Jukebox Jury {Ire})
and a yearling colt by Amaron (GB). The March-foaled chestnut=s
dam Strawberry (Ger) (Lord of England {Ger}) is also kin to G1
Grosser Preis von Berlin hero Sirius (Ger) (Dashing Blade {GB}).
Descendants of his stakes-winning fourth dam Shona (Ger)
(Windwurf {Ger}) include MGSW sire Sommerabend (GB)

Adayar Cont. from p1
Appleby also provided an update on G1 QIPCO 2000 Guineas
runner-up Master Of The Seas (Ire) (Dubawi {Ire}), who will run
in the G1 Queen Elizabeth II S. The G3 Craven S. hero was last
seen running third in the G2 Joel S. at Newmarket on Sept. 24.
Godolphin stablemate and Group 3 winner Creative Force (Ire)
(Dubawi {Ire}) will also be in action on QIPCO Champions Day,
but in the G1 Champions Sprint.
AThe way the weather forecast is potentially looking, Master
Of The Seas will run in the QEII and Creative Force will head to
the Champions Sprint. Two handy horses,@ he said. ACreative
Force is learning how to sprint now. We=ve seen what he can do
over seven. He=s been competitive at six and he=s still learning.
As we all know, dropping back into sprinting divisions at that
level it takes a bit of getting the hang of, but he=s getting there
and he=ll go into the weekend a big player.
AMaster Of The Seas has definitely come on for that run in the
Joel and we=re looking forward to him.@
PEARLS GALORE CONFIRMED FOR BC MILE Dual Group 1 runner-up Pearls Galore (Fr) (Invincible Spirit

Pair homebred was second in both the G1 Matron S. at
Leopardstown on Sept. 11 and the Oct. 3 G1 Prix de la Foret.
Trainer Paddy Twomey said, AShe came out of the race last
weekend fantastic and she=s in good form. She=s going to the
Breeders= Cup Mile. She wouldn=t have liked the ground last
week, she wants fast ground.@ Cont. p17

The Breeders= Cup is also the target for Oct. 8 G3 Cornwallis S.
victor Twilight Jet (Ire) (Twilight Son {GB}). Owned and trained
by Michael O=Callaghan, the colt will run in the GII Breeders= Cup
Juvenile Turf Sprint.
AHopefully he=s going to the Breeders Cup now,@ said
O=Callaghan. AIt=ll be his 11th start of the year. After he won the
other day I was saying >I=ll give this lad a break=--but he arrived
home the next morning and he told me different.
AHe absolutely loves racing, he has a great constitution. He=s
just a bit of an animal, he loves his job and he=s a dream to train.
He=s won the Cornwallis now and he=s danced every dance this
year so whatever he does at the Breeders= Cup will be a bonus.@
He added, AIf he goes there in good fettle he=ll run a big race.
He runs in the Breeders= Cup Juvenile Turf Sprint and we=re
looking forward to it.@
UBETTABELIEVEIT TO MICKLEY STUD Richard Kent's Mickley Stud will welcome the G2 Flying
Childers S. winner Ubettabelieveit (Ire) (Kodiac {GB}--
Ladylishandra {Ire}, by Mujadil) to its stallion ranks for the 2022
season.
Trained by Nigel Tinkler for owner Martin Webb,
Ubettabelieveit won on his second start at two and followed
that up with victory in the Listed National S. at Sandown.
Dropping back to five furlongs after failing to see out the six in
the G2 Gimcrack S., he then won the Flying Childers in a tight
finish with subsequent Group 2 winner Sacred (Blame).
He rounded off his productive juvenile campaign by finishing
third in the GII Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf over 5 1/2 furlongs at
Keeneland.
"I'm delighted that Mickley Stud is to stand Ubettabelieveit as
he's a really good-looking individual and son of the highly
successful sire Kodiac, whose sons are proving to be sire sons as
well," said Richard Kent. "Kodi Bear (Ire), Adaay (Ire), Prince of
Lir (Ire) and Coulsty (Ire) have all sired Group-winning
2-year-olds, and Ardad (Ire), who also won the Flying Childers S.,
has sired the Middle Park and Prix Morny winner Perfect Power
(Ire) from his first crop of impressive 2-year-old winners this
season."
He continued, "I'm grateful to Martin Webb and Nigel Tinkler
for giving me the opportunity to acquire Ubettabelieveit and am
also grateful that they are retaining shares in him and will be
supporting him. We will be making shares available to breeders
and will be announcing further details regarding his nomination
fee after the conclusion of the October Yearling Sales."
Trainer Nigel Tinkler added, "Ubettabelieveit is one of the
fastest horses that I have trained and completely sound in every
way. His attitude was completely professional and all he wanted
to do was please you." Cont. p18

FIRST-SEASON SIRESWITH RUNNERS
Ubettabelieveit Cont.
Bred at Ringfort Stud by Derek and Gay Veitch, Ubettabelieveit
is out of the juvenile winner Ladylishandra (Ire), herself a
daughter of Flying Childers S. winner Mujadil and now the dam
of four black-type winners. These include the dual Group 3
winner Tropical Paradise (Ire) (Verglas {Ire}) and Listed Rothesay
S. winner Shenanigans (Ire) (Arcano {Ire}). Ubettabelieveit
shares his fourth dam Dinner Partner (Tom Fool) with Noverre
(Rahy), and she also features as the grandam of July Cup winner
Ajdal (Northern Dancer).
Sold for 50,000gns at Book 1 of the Tattersalls October
Yearling Sale to Roger Marley and John Cullinan of Church Farm
and Horse Park Stud, Ubettabelieveit was originally catalogued
for the Goffs UK Breeze-up Sale but was sold privately to Tinkler
when the 2020 breeze-up season was delayed by the
Covid-enforced lockdown.

This looked a listed race in name only and it duly produced a
winner who could be destined for the top in Limiti Di Greccio.
Successful in a seven-furlong Leopardstown maiden Aug. 12 and
runner-up in the Sept. 11 Listed Ingabelle S. back over that
course and distance since joining Paddy Twomey from Andrew
Kinsella, the bay raced towards the rear of mid-division early
against the rail under Billy Lee. Running into a pocket two out
and again at the furlong pole, the cause appeared lost as
Tranquil Lady and Sunset Shiraz forged on ahead but once
angled off the fence produced a rare surge to overhaul that duo
with 50 yards remaining. At the line, there was a dominant
margin to Tranquil Lady, who held on for the silver medal by a
short head from Sunset Shiraz who brought leading formlines
into the contest having placed in the G1 Moyglare Stud S., G2
Debutante S. and G3 Weld Park S.
AI was concerned turning into the straight and she seemed to
meet every bit of trouble she could, but she has a turn of foot,@
Twomey said. AShe=s a filly who does what she has to do and it=s
great that she won the way she did. She=s a smart filly and
displayed that to everybody today--we are lucky to have her.
Marty had intimated that he=d like to go to France for the Group
1 and Del Mar with her, but I managed to talk him out of it. I
bypassed the Weld Park, as I didn=t want her to have a penalty
when she tackles a Guineas trial next year. We won this last year
and I wanted to come here as I think it=s a perfect stepping
stone for the Guineas.@
AI thought the extra furlong would suit her today and the
slower ground didn=t seem to inconvenience her,@ Twomey
added. AThe owner would very much like to go for the Breeders=
Cup, but the trainer is trying to put the brakes on. She is a big
filly who is progressive and we=ve purposely picked her spots
with next year in mind. She=ll have an entry in both the Guineas
here and at Newmarket.@
Limiti di Greccio further advertises the prowess of her
Ballyhane Stud-based sire, becoming his sixth black-type winner.
Her dam is the unraced Grotta Del Fauno (Ire) (Galileo {Ire})
whose immediate family features the Italian listed-placed
Abruzzo Nel Cuore (Ire) (La Vie dei Colori {GB}). The family
includes the G2 Premio Ribot winner Duca D=Atri (Ire) (Dr
Devious {Ire}) and the dual G3 Gran Premio Citta di Napoli
winner Guado D=Annibale (Glint of Gold {GB}). Grotta Del
Fauno=s yearling filly is by Camacho (GB), while she also has a

Minstrel S. here July 18 and runner-up in the G3 Phoenix Sprint
S. over this course and distance Aug. 8. Dropping his level when
sixth in the Sept. 25 G3 Renaissance S. again over this track and
trip when last seen, he proved a relatively straightforward
conveyance for Keane=s historic 127th by racing near the pace
and taking control before two out.
AWe've been getting close to it slowly but surely, I=ve had
plenty of seconds in the last two weeks,@ the rider said. AIt was
great to level it for the boss and then to go and beat it for the
boss is even better. It hasn=t sunk in and probably won=t until we
start on zero next year and we=re looking back on it. We try to
beat every year=s tally, we mightn=t have a year like this again
for a while so we=ll appreciate it while it=s here.@
Ger Lyons commented, AColin is a credit to himself, his family
and the whole racing industry. He=s a fine example of what a
champion jockey should be. He keeps himself to himself and lets
his riding do the talking. You see Billy Lee going over to shake his
hand after the race and that tells you all you need to know
about the huge respect he has in the weighing room. He=s just a
genuinely good guy. The industry is full of people trying to make
heroes out of x, y and z but Colin has done it his way, the
old-fashioned way, his riding doing all the talking. Every winner
he rides from now until the end of the season is going to be a
record and, you know what, next season he will want to better
whatever total he finishes with this season so he is going to keep
us on our toes!@

TARTAN SKIRT (IRE) (f, 2, Mehmas {Ire}--Scottish Exile {Ire}, by
Ashkalani {Ire}), fourth on debut over seven furlongs at
Punchestown Sept. 14, travelled easily tracking the early leader.
In front before the two-furlong pole, the 8-13 favourite was not
asked a serious question en route to a two-length success from
Secret Magician (Ire) (Magician {Ire}). AShe=s a lovely filly, she
ran a lovely race first time out in Punchestown and has
improved plenty since then,@ Michael O=Callaghan commented.
AShe=s a filly that has done a good bit of growing and maturing in
the last six weeks and I=d say she=ll even be better next spring.
We might put her away now. She has plenty of pace, but I can
see her maybe getting seven for a Guineas trial next spring. She
obviously handled that ground today, but she would like nicer
ground. She has a bit of class, she=s by a good stallion and I think
she=ll keep on improving.@ The winner is the last known foal out
of the dam, whose first was the G3 Molecomb S. runner-up
Bonnie Charlie (GB) (Intikhab) who also placed on three other
occasions at that level, MGSP-Eng, GSP-Fr, $255,726. The dam is
a full-sister to the Listed Ripon Champion Two-Year-Old Trophy
runner-up Million Percent (GB) from the family of the G3 King

SIRANA (FR) (f, 2, Siyouni {Fr}--Sirrin {Ire} {MSW-Fr}, by Sea the
Stars {Ire}), who graduated over this trip in a Sept. 16 Mont-de-
Marsan maiden last time, was reined back to track the leaders in
third until turning for home. Cruising forward in the straight, the
2-5 lock hit the front on the bridle with 300 metres remaining
and coasted to the line in hand with an untroubled 2 1/2-length
advantage from Menilles (Fr) (Recorder {GB}). Sirana is the lone
foal out of Listed Prix Joubert and Listed Derby du Languedoc
victrix Sirrin (Ire) (Sea the Stars {Ire}), herself a daughter of

Listed Criterium de Lyon winner Mangoustine (Fr) (Dark Angel

Deauville last time. Reined back to race behind the leaders in
fourth after an alert break, the 6-4 chalk made headway under
pressure in the straight to go second approaching the furlong
marker and was driven out to deny Lady Pink (Fr) (Al Wukair
{Ire}) by a neck in the dying strides. Full to a yearling colt, Know
Thyself is the third of four foals--all by Galileo (Ire)--and second

ZARAFA (FR) (f, 2, Zarak {Fr}--Amour A Papa {Fr} {G1SP-Fr,

occupied a forward role in third from the outset of this debut.
Shaken up to close off the home turn, the crowd=s 7-5 choice
quickened smartly to gain control approaching the final furlong
and kept on well in the latter stages to easily hold the late bid of
Winema (Fr) (Le Havre {Ire}) by a geared-down 1 1/4 lengths,
becoming the seventh winner for her freshman sire (by Dubawi

control of this debut. Comfortable on a clear lead for the most
part, the 53-10 chance came under pressure when threatened
with 350 metres remaining and was ridden out inside the final
furlong to hold the late thrust of Blue Falcon (Fr) (Galiway {GB})
by 3/4-of-a-length. Corcovado is the latest of seven foals and
third scorer out of a half-sister to MGSP Listed Fairway S. victor
Unnefer (Fr) (Danehill Dancer {Ire}) and the dual stakes scorer
Mount Popa (Ire) (Maxios {GB}). The February-foaled chestnut=s

TUNNES (GER) (c, 2, Guiliani {Ire}--Tijuana {Ger}, by Toylsome
{GB}), who ran second going one mile in his Sept. 26 debut at
this venue last time, was swiftly into stride and led from flagfall.
Untroubled on the front end for the most part, the 4-5 favourite
kicked clear in early straight and ran on strongly under whipless
coaxing inside the final quarter mile to easily defeat Antinanco
(Ire) (Champs Elysees {GB}) by three lengths. Tunnes, the fourth
of five foals, becomes the second scorer produced by a half-
sister to three stakes performers headed by the G2 Diana-Trial
victrix Tusked Wings (Ire) (Adlerflug {Ger}). The April-foaled
chestnut is a half-brother to MG1SW G1 Prix de l=Arc de
Triomphe hero and G1 Deutsches Derby runner-up Torquator
Tasso (Ger) (Adlerflug {Ger}), who also shed maiden status at
this venue, and a yearling filly by Adlerflug (Ger). His third dam,
Listed Prix Occitanie runner-up Turbaine (Trempolino), is also
the dam of Guiliani=s sire Tertullian (Miswaki) which gives
Tunnes a 3x3 inbreeding to Turbaine. Turbaine is a half-sister to

from the outside stall. Niggled along in early straight, the 11-10

the Brummerhof-owned Promised (Ire) (Lope de Vega {Ire}).

Anamoe & Damien Oliver | Bronwen Healy
Street Boss | Darley Stallions
ANAMOE'S DESTINYFULFILLED
by Bren O'Brien
Anamoe's second Group 1 success in Saturday's Caulfield
Guineas provided a huge boost across the entire
Darley/Godolphin operation, which has invested significant time
and effort in building the international breeding careers of both
his sire Street Boss (USA) and his dam Anamato (Redoute's
Choice).
By Street Boss (USA), a multiple Group 1-winning shuttle son
of Darley's own hugely influential stallion Street Cry (Ire), and
out a Group 1-winning Redoute's Choice mare, it would be easy
to categorise Anamoe's ascent to status of dual Group 1 winner
and Australia's leading 3-year-old as pre-destined.
But while the Godolphin and Darley success story may be built
on elite international pedigrees, it is the work of everybody from
stallion handlers to head trainer James Cummings which realises
the potential of the athlete.
Reflecting on Anamoe's latest win, John Sunderland, stud
manager at Godolphin's Woodlands Stud, where Anamoe was
foaled on Nov. 16, 2018, said there are so many people involved
in the latest Group 1 success.
"It=s exciting for the whole team, he's a horse that touches
everybody right through from breeding all the way through to
racing. The whole team has been involved with this horse," he
said.
"Anamoe was conceived at Northwood Park in Victoria and he
came to us here (at Woodlands) to be foaled and raised. He was
then part of the racing system, so he went to Kelvinside. He's
then spelled back at Northwood Park and spent time at all our
racing stables. It=s truly a team effort and everyone can take a
lot of pride in that."
Anamato a Global Story It's a similar story, albeit on a global level, for his globetrotting
dam Anamato. Impeccably bred from the tremendously
successful broodmare Voltage (Whiskey Road {USA}), she was
raced by her breeders Royce and Julie Ritchie with trainer David
Hayes.
A winner of the G1 Schweppes Oaks, she was also placed in a
trio of other elite races, including a G1 American Oaks at
Hollywood Park, a performance which gave her already
impressive pedigree page an international flavour.
For a Darley operation which had recently put down a massive
marker of its Australian ambitions with the purchase of
Woodlands Stud in 2008, she represented an ideal acquisition.
Henry Plumptre, Darley's Australian general manager at the
time, described her as having considerable 'international
currency'.
Darley already owned her half-sister Eldarin (Marauding {NZ})
and added Anamato to its broodmare band via a substantial
private deal, sending her to Kentucky to be mated with rising
star stallion Street Cry.
That mating was not successful and she was then sent to
Europe to be mated to another rising Darley star in Dubawi (Ire),
twice, producing two unraced fillies, before heading to
Shamardal (USA), with whom she would produce the stakes
winner Anamba (GB).
TDN AUSTRALIA/NEW ZEALAND • PAGE 2 OF 3 • THETDN.COM MONDAY • 11 OCTOBER 2021
She would have one more Northern Hemisphere foal, the
winning New Approach (Ire) filly Amuletum (GB), before arriving
back in Australia in August 2014.
A trio of matings with Champion stallion Lonhro followed, with
the second producing her first Australian winner, Amitto, before
she was sent to Northwood Park to visit Street Boss in 2017.
A Decisive Moment It was that mating which proved decisive not only for Anamato
as a broodmare but also arguably Street Boss as a stallion, as the
resultant colt is now destined to carry on his legacy on the
Darley roster for years to come.
"It=s been a fantastic journey, and it=s been a while in the
making. She (Anamato) was born here, raced here and overseas
and then after coming back, was then retired as a broodmare in
Europe," Sunderland said.
"She was able to make a mark over there, having a stakes
winner by Shamardal and she has now come back and produced
Anamoe.
"She's also got some exciting ones to come. She's got a lovely
Shooting To Win 2-year-old (Dartboard) that has gone into work
and she is now in foal to Blue Point, who is a son of Shamardal,
which is a three-quarter relation to the very good mare,
Anamba, up in Europe."
Anamato is in the foaling paddock at Woodlands and is set to
foal any time in the next two weeks, and will then head to Street
Boss, who has relocated to Darley Kelvinside this year.
Meanwhile, Anamoe's two half-sisters by Lonhro, Amitto and
Outline, were both retired off the track earlier this year and
have also visited Street Boss.
"It's obviously a cross that works well and continues to look
better every time Anamoe goes to the racetrack. They are both
nice Lonhro fillies and we look forward to that next generation
coming through in the next few years," Sunderland said.
Powerful Voltage Anamoe is the sixth Group 1 winner descended from
Newhaven Park-bred blue hen Voltage. She not only produced
Anamato, but also G1 Oakleigh Plate winner Drum (Marauding
{NZ}) and listed winner Port Watch (Star Watch).
As well as Anamoe, Voltage's daughters have produced Group
1 winners Grand Armee (Hennessy {USA}) and Dealer Principal
(Flying Spur), while Yourdeel (NZ) (Dundeel {NZ}) provided a
third generation of Group 1 winners in that family. Across those
three generations, there are an incredible 14 stakes winners
from 120 runners.
While it took a bit of patience for those powerful genetics to
come to the fore with the Australian-bred progeny of Anamato,
Sunderland always had faith that she would produce a very good
one.
"She's a very good-looking mare herself and most of her
progeny are as well. Anamoe was always a standout. I know it
sounds easy to say now, but as a physical, he always stood out.
It's not surprising when you consider how good-looking a mare
she is," he said.
Sunderland believes that physically Anamoe owes equal parts
to both his sire and dam and that could be another asset when it
comes his time in the breeding barn.
"His mum is quite a dark brown and Street Boss is a chestnut.
Anamoe is a bay and you=d say he is the combination of both
parents. There's some good looks there from both sides of the
family," he said.
"It=s very exciting when your whole business is developing
these very successful colts to go on and be stallions. If they are
good-looking it adds to it."
Beyond His Years As a Nov. 16 foal, there would have been those who doubted
Anamoe could come out and do what he did at two. He debuted
12 months ago to the day, in the Listed Debutant S. where he
finished fifth before improving to win the Listed Merson Cooper
S. two days before he would turn two.

Group 1 Winner For Shocking
TDN AusNZ Podcast: Mark Chittick
Cup Day Crowds Confirmed
His busy autumn campaign saw him win or place in all five
autumn starts, winning the G1 Inglis Sires' and the G2 Todman S.
and running second in the G1 Golden Slipper S. and third in the
G1 Blue Diamond S.
His three runs to date in his 3-year-old campaign have seen
him win the G2 Run To The Rose, run second in the G1 Golden
Rose, and now win the G1 Caulfield Guineas, all well before he
officially turns three.
In fact, in winning on Saturday he became the youngest
Caulfield Guineas in 20 years, since Lonhro, who was foaled on
Dec. 10, stormed to victory.
Anamoe joins the likes of recent Godolphin Group 1 winners
Bivouac and Colette (Hallowed Crown) as successful November
foals.
"There is a lot of pressure to get these early foals and I
understand the commercial reasons for that but here we have a
colt that was foaled on Nov. 16, he raced in the Slipper and he
was up and running early and has come on through and been
one of the top horses in his crop," Sunderland said.
"So often it doesn't matter when they are born, as they will
mature quick enough to do it if they are ready."
Anamoe's next step could be the G1 Cox Plate, where he is
again looking to create history. No 3-year-old born later in the
season has won the Moonee Valley feature since 1980, when
foaling dates were recorded by Studbook.
