A busy week in store for Mickley Stud=s Richard Kent
Tattersalls/Laura Green
RECORD FOAL DRAFT FOR MICKLEY STUD
By Emma Berry
From bringing its largest draft of 26 foals to the Tattersalls
December Sale in 2020, Mickley Stud's consignment for this
week has almost doubled in size again to 50 weanlings.
It may be time-consuming for prospective buyers to work their
way through this batch of youngsters down in the Solario Yard
but it could also prove worthwhile. In 2015, Mickley's Richard
Kent and his co-breeder, the late Lady Caroline Lonsdale,
brought a Havana Gold (Ire) foal to sell who went on to become
the Group 1-winning sprinter and young Whitsbury Manor Stud
stallion Havana Grey (GB). Another weanling that was
overlooked two years ago and ended up being sold privately, an
El Kabeir colt named Don Chicco (GB), is now Italy's champion
2-year-old, having won the G2 Gran Criterium at Capannelle in
October as well as the Listed Premio Giuseppe de Montel.
"You dream about breeding a horse like Havana Grey who will
then go on to be a stallion. It's just great," said Richard Kent at
Park Paddocks on Monday as he and son Finn were overseeing
the sale of their final yearlings of 2021. Cont. p2
FRENCH PRIZEMONEY INCREASE FOR 2022 Prizemoney in France is set to rise to i278 million next year,
returning to the equivalent levels of 2017. The proposed
increase means that prizemoney will be up i20 million (7.75%)
from 2019, and i30 million (+12%) from 2021. The increase can
be attributed to a growth in PMU net contribution to i820
million--the first time since 2015 that its contribution has risen
above i800 million, and up i60 million on 2019--thanks to a
growth in betting turnover, sustained international expansion
and a drop in PMU expenditures, as well as France Galop=s
rebounding commercial revenue.
France Galop=s 2022 budget plan was submitted during a
Monday board meeting, and will be formally approved at a
committee meeting on Dec. 13.
It was also revealed during the board meeting that France
Galop expects a positive net result of i6 million for the current
financial year, with connections of horses still affected by
prizemoney deductions amid the pandemic to be paid those
deficits at the beginning of 2022. Cont. p3

Mickley Stud Draft Cont. from p1
"I'm also proud of the fact that the people who have bought
our foals have made a lot of money. Michael Fitzpatrick bought
our Mehmas (Ire) filly out of Country Madam (Ire) for 75,000gns
last year and he got 250,000gns for the yearling to go to Chad
Brown. We also sold a
Showcasing (GB) foal for
110,000gns to Pier House Stud
and they got 200,000gns, and he
is also going to Chad Brown. It's
great that out of two mares who
cost ,13,000 for the two, that
their yearlings make 450,000gns
to go to America. We're going to
have to start following the
American racing results more
closely. It's what keeps us
dreaming."
The half-brother to that
Showcasing foal forms part of the
Mickley Stud draft this year as lot
720. The colt is by Advertise (Ire)
and is out of the dual winner Cherubic (GB), who shares her sire
Dark Angel (Ire) with the dam of Havana Grey.
Also among the largest consignment of the foal sale are three
weanlings by Ardad (Ire), the leading first-season sire in Britain
who counts the G1 Middle Park S. and G1 Prix Morny winner
Perfect Power (Ire) among his offspring.
Ardad has proved immensely popular this year and has
covered 156 mares, largely on the back of his first crop's exploits
on the track, but it had been a different story during the 2020
covering season when mares were in short supply for him.
"We have a lovely colt by Ardad out of Dora's Sister (lot 518)
with a fantastic temperament," Kent said. "We've three Ardad
foals this year and he only has a crop of 19 so hopefully they will
be very popular. He's done everything right for everyone so far
and we are delighted to have a share in the stallion. [Overbury
Stud's] Simon Sweeting has been very good to deal with and we
have ended up with 10 mares in foal to him this year so we're
happy with that. Simon has priced him very sensibly and he has
been very fair to the shareholders who used him from the start
so I hope he goes right to the top for them."
While Kent will doubtless feel
some reflected pride next year
once the Havana Grey
2-year-olds start running, he will
also be closely monitoring the
success of his own stallion, the
2000 Guineas runner-up and G2
Hungerford S winner Massaat
(Ire), who is one of several
Shadwell-owned stallions to have
stood at Mickley Stud. "Massaat
is going great," he reported. "He
has lovely scopey yearlings. Very
sadly Sheikh Hamdan has died
and he owns 51% of him. We are
sad that he won't be racing any
of his stock but they have been
bought by some good trainers such as Mark Johnston, John
Quinn and Tim Easterby. They sold much better than we
thoughtBBwe brought one here and he had a 10,000gns reserve
and he made 42,000gnsBBso that was grand. They seem to have
good minds and to be athletic horses so hopefully next year they
will be good racehorses who can carry on that genuine Teofilo
line. Massaat is out of an Acclamation mare and his stock look
like they will have plenty of speed. Mick Channon and Richard
Hannon also bought his yearlings and they are proper speed
trainers."
No fewer than 11 Massaat foals feature in the draft from the
Shropshire stud, but Kent has also not overlooked his old friends
Havana Gold, the sire of two fillies in the Mickley Consignment,
and Havana Grey.

Mickley Stud Draft Cont.
"We've used Havana Grey a couple of times," he said. "We
sent down the biggest mares on the farm to him and he has
produced beautiful, tidy horses. We sold a beautiful yearling filly
by him out of Radio Gaga (GB) earlier this year for ,50,000.
Everybody in England seems to have something good to say
about him at the moment. He's been lucky for the breeders so
far so let's hope he goes on to be lucky for the trainers."
Balancing out what is a fairly speed-orientated draft is a filly by
Camelot (GB), who is clearly close to her breeder's heart. Slated
as lot 787, she is out of a half-sister to the G3 Winter Derby
winner Robin Hoods Bay (GB) (Motivator {GB}) and has the
former champion 2-year-old Bianca Nera (GB) as her third dam.
"She's gorgeous and she absolutely loves herself," said Kent.
"When we'd go down to feed her in the summer she used to
smash the mirror off the jeep as she was always trying to look at
herself. She has a lot of presence and character."
Like many breeders and vendors this year, Kent has been
heartened by the demand for bloodstock in all tiers of the
market.
He said, "Tattersalls are going to have to build a bigger car
park because every sale we've gone to this year there's hardly
been a car parking space. Years ago you'd come to the first day
of the December Sales and there might be very few cars parked.
It seems to be high fashion to want to be at sales now and the
trade has been great at every level."
French Prizemoney Cont. from p1
Total French prizemoney in 2021, therefore, is expected to be
i248 million, down 4% from i258 million in 2019. The PMU
will contribute i740 million to prizemoney in 2021, with its
business improving significantly upon the re-opening of betting
shops, and aided by the efforts of both the PMU and France
Galop to reduce costs during the pandemic.
ZARAK SHARE LEADS THE WAY AT ARQANA Charlie Gordon-Watson purchased a 1/50th share in His
Highness The Aga Khan=s Group 1 winner Zarak (Fr) (Dubawi
{Ire}) for i350,000 to top the Arqana Online Sale on Tuesday.
Sold as lot 2, the promising young sire already has the Group 1-
placed horses Times Square (Fr) and Purplepay (Fr). Cont. p4

Zarak Cont.
Fellow first-season sire Zelzal (Fr) (Sea The Stars {Ire}) (lot 3)
also proved popular, with Meridian International=s Ghislain Bozo
extending to i125,000 for a 1/50th share in the G1 Prix Jean
Prat winner. The Haras de Bouquetot stallion has 10 winners
from his first crop including the listed winner Zelda (Fr).
SARL Lemzar bought a 1/50th share in G1 Prix Jacques le
Marois hero Al Wukair (Ire) (Dream Ahead) (lot 4) for i42,000.
The dark bay, who also stands at Haras de Bouquetot, has 13
winners in his first crop.
Breeding rights to Territories (Ire) (Invincible Spirit {Ire}) (lot 5)
and lot 9, Havana Gold (Ire) (Teofilo {Ire}), brought i36,000 and
i35,000, respectively from Jonathan Mitchell.
Rounding out the six lots that sold was a 1/50th share in
Masked Marvel (GB) (Montjeu {Ire}) (lot 6) for i45,000. Haras
d=Enki added that share to their portfolio.
The overall aggregate was i633,000. A 1/50th share in French
Champion Sire Siyouni (Fr) (Pivotal {GB}) did not sell at
i620,000; nor did a breeding right to Showcasing (GB) (Oasis
Dream {GB}) at i120,000.
DERBY HERO ERHAAB DIES AT 30 Shadwell=s Erhaab (Chief=s Crown--Histoire {Fr}, by Riverman),
who won the G1 Derby at Epsom in 1994, died peacefully this
week at Batsford Stud. The 30-year-old, the oldest surviving
winner of the Blue Riband, had spent the past decade at the
Gloucestershire stud.
Bred by Sheikh Hamdan=s operation in Kentucky, the half-
brother to Group 2 winner Oumaldaaya (Nureyev) and stakes
winner Hispanolia (Fr) (Kris {GB}) was trained by John Dunlop.

Erhaab Cont.
In five starts as a juvenile, the dark bay won twice and was also
third in the G3 Horris Hill S. at Newbury. He made his
sophomore bow with a second in the Listed Feilden S. in April.
Successful in the G2 Dante S. next out, he ran out a 1 1/4-length
victor in the DerbyBboth of those wins were under Willie
Carson. His final placing was a third in the G1 Eclipse S. at
Sandown
A damaged suspensory ligament brought about his retirement
later that summer with a record of 11-4-2-2 and $905,450 in
prizemoney. He stood in Japan, Kentucky, and Shadwell=s Beech
House Stud, and was later a jumps stallion at Wood Farm Stud
and Batsford Stud. As a stallion, he sired a quartet of listed-
placed progeny in England and Japan, while his daughters have
produced three black-type winners in Japan.

SAUNAS TO BE REMOVED FROM BRITISH
WEIGHING ROOMS Saunas will be removed from all jockeys= quarters in Britain as
part of a long-term programme to modernise weighing rooms
that has been developed by a cross-industry group of jockeys,
racehorses and the British Horseracing Authority. Weighing
room saunas have been closed as part of Covid safety measures
since the onset of the pandemic, and 88% of jockeys polled
support their removal.
Dr. Jerry Hill, BHA chief medical adviser, said, ASaunas have
been out of operation throughout the pandemic, which has
presented the opportunity for a wider discussion about their
long-term future in the context of making weight safely. Acute
dehydration, such as that following sauna use, shortly before
racing has been shown to reduce performance as it has a
negative impact on reaction time and strength. There have been
reports of increased falls and by extension injuries in jockeys
who have suddenly dehydrated to make weight.
AThere are safe and effective methods of maintaining weight
healthily through fitness and nutrition and this bespoke support
is available to jockeys through the PJA Nutrition Team as well as
at the IJF Centres.@
A set of minimum standards drawn up for jockeys= quarters
also includes additional private changing and shower facilities;
shared communal rest, food provision and warm-up areas for
jockeys; communal working space for valets, and flexibility to
adapt changing room sizes for demand. Cont. p7

Saunas Cont.
Racecourse Association Chief Executive David Armstrong said,
"The RCA welcomes the announcement of the long-term plan to
upgrade weighing rooms across Britain's 59 racecourses. This
presents a significant milestone and many months of hard work
by the PJA, RCA, BHA plus jockey and racecourse
representatives.
AThe initial stage of meeting all ongoing safeguarding
requirements is due to be completed by February, which will
include the welcome removal of saunas. The outcome of this
project will be the creation of significantly improved weighing
and changing room facilities that are in keeping with other elite
and professional sports.@
HORSES TEST NEGATIVE AFTER

Integrant, who snagged wins at Chantilly and Saint-Cloud in his
first two starts, finished off the board in the Aug. 1 Listed Grand
Prix de Clairefontaine and ParisLongchamp=s Sept. 5 G3 Prix du
Prince d=Orange and lined up here coming back off fifth in the
Oct. 10 Listed Prix Le Fabuleux at Chantilly. Breaking in rear and
remaining there through halfway, he made continued headway
under pressure in the straight to go fourth entering the final
furlong and was driven out from there to deny Angelissima in
the dying strides for a career high.
AWe are very happy with Integrant, he came with a nice run
and accelerated well,@ said winning trainer Henri-Francois Devin.
AThe ground has been soft in a couple of his runs this year and
today shows that he needs quick ground or the Polytrack. I have
not given Finals Day much thought, but why not? I think the fact
it is at Newcastle now, rather than Lingfield, makes it more
appealing for this horse. He has got the win-and-you=re-in and it
is something I will discuss with connections while the horse has
a little break.@
Integrant, the second of four foals and lone scorer produced
by G3 Prix Vanteaux placegetter Via Manzoni (Ire) (Monsun

Sheikh Hamdan bin Rashid Al Maktoum passed away earlier this year
Tattersalls
Angus Gold | Tattersalls
SHADWELL OPPORTUNITIESTO HIGHLIGHT
TATTERSALLS DECEMBER
by Bren O=Brien
Next week's Tattersalls December Mare Sale at Newmarket
will feature 81 fillies and mares offered as part of a major
reduction of Shadwell's European breeding stock. TDN AusNZ's
Bren O'Brien caught up with Shadwell Racing Manager Angus
Gold to talk through the opportunities on offer to buyers, the
strength of the Northern Hemisphere mares' market and to
highlight a handful of lots he believes will attract interest.
The passing of Sheikh Hamdan bin Rashid Al Maktoum in
March has seen global powerhouse Shadwell reduce its
breeding and racing interests significantly in 2021.
Earlier this year, Shadwell's dispersal of much of its Australian
breeding and racing stock was enthusiastically met by buyers in
the market, highlighted by its 37-lot offering through the Magic
Millions National Broodmare Sale, which saw over $25 million
spent on mares in the space of a spectacular 90 minutes on the
Gold Coast.
While it has wound down its operations in Australia and South
Africa, Shadwell, now led by Sheikh Hamdan=s daughter Sheikha
Hissa, plans to maintain its racing and breeding presence in
Great Britain, Ireland and the United States, but at a lesser scale,
focussed on their stallion operations and high-end breeding and
racing prospects.
That has prompted a broad reduction of the Shadwell
broodmare band with its Derrinstown Stud selling 40 mares in
Ireland last week as part of the Goffs November Breeding Stock
Sale.
The Tattersalls December Mare Sale, which starts on Nov. 29
and will run until Dec. 2, initially catalogued 93 mares and fillies
from Shadwell, although withdrawals have brought that number
back to 81.
Long-time Shadwell Racing Manager Angus Gold, who has
helped oversee the restructure of the global business, told TDN
AusNZ that the reduction was another terrific opportunity for
the global market to access families which Sheikh Hamdan has
been nurturing for generations.
"Obviously, for very sad reasons, this is a real opportunity for
people to get involved in some of these families. Some of them
go back to the early days of Sheikh Hamdan's involvement with
horses like Height Of Fashion and the Mehthaaf, Elnadim and
Elle Seule family. They are some of the families we have had a
lot of luck with over the years," he said.
"We sold quite a lot of mares in Ireland last week and they
sold well on the whole and I'm sure this will be no different. We
would have been retaining these families if it wasn't for Sheikh
Hamdan dying."
Gold said that interest ahead of the Sale in the Shadwell
consignment has been on a global level, and he expects the
array of elite-quality mares to find their way to a host of
different homes.

Hadaatha, lot 1725 | De Burgh Productions
Lot 1615, Taqleed | De Burgh Productions
"I'm sure there will be interest across the world for them. It=s a
small world now and it=s relatively easy for Southern
Hemisphere buyers to foal them down up here, and get them in
foal to Southern Hemisphere time and ship them down in due
course," he said.
"If they have got fillies off the track, they can cover them
Northern Hemisphere time and foal them here and bring them
down. There are a lot of options for them."
The Magics Example The experience of those who invested in the Australian sales
earlier this year was an excellent example of the host of options
on offer with these mares, says Gold.
High-profile mares such as Group 1 winner Qafila (Not A Single
Doubt), who sold for $2 million in May and was booked to
Wootton Bassett (GB) this spring, have continued their breeding
careers, but others, such as the filly Minhaaj (Exceed And Excel),
who cost $1.8 million, have been put back into work.
Now a 4-year-old, she has won two Group 3 races this spring
for her new owners at Rosemont Stud and trainer John O'Shea.
"It was great to see her go on and win a couple of Group races
and hopefully she is not finished yet. It's important for us to see
them go on and do something for their new owners," Gold said.
"Hopefully plenty of these mares will go on and breed some
lovely horses. These are mares we wouldn't be thinking of
dispersing in normal circumstances but we have to get down to
manageable numbers."
The Gold Standard Gold was kind enough to highlight several mares and fillies
which he thought would do well out of the Shadwell
consignment at Tattersalls, as well as a couple which had a
connection to Australia.
Lot 1725 - Hadaatha (Ire), 10-year-old mare (Sea The Stars {Ire}
x Hathrah {Ire} {Linamix {Fr}).
"She's one of the best mares we are offering. She won a Listed
race at Yarmouth and at her last start she was third in a Group 1
at Longchamp. We asked Sheikh Hamdan to keep her in training
at four, but he wouldn't do it and I have no doubt she would
have been Group 1 class. She could have won a proper race.
"Her first two foals had a couple of minor issues but
Moshaawer, the Frankel colt, is quite a nice horse. The Dubawi
filly, the 2-year-old Al Husn, won well at Kempton the other day.
We are keeping her in training next year. The Shamardal
yearling is not a bad sort at all and this is a lovely mare to look
at.
"Hathrah, her dam, was almost the most beautiful filly I have
been involved in buying. She was an absolute queen and was
third in the 1000 Guineas and won a Listed race by 9l. She=ll be
one of our top sellers and rightly so, she is a lovely mare."
Lot 1293 - Tanaaghom (Ire), 3-year-old filly, (Dubawi {Ire} x
Adool {Ire} {Teofilo {Ire})
"She is quite a small filly and was a first foal herself of Adool.
The 2-year-old out of Adool, the Sea The Stars colt Antarah, he
won his only start pretty impressively at Newcastle recently. He
would be, on the face of it, one of our more exciting young
horses, in terms of a potential Classic horse for next year.
"There is another Sea The Stars colt, who is a yearling and
quite a nice Lope De Vega filly to come through. She is back in
foal to Sea The Stars.
"The first three dams are all stakes winners and it's been a
good family to us. You look at horses like Mehthaaf and Elnadim
among others, it=s been very successful. She's a bit neat herself,
but I would think the family will only improve and there is
upside there."

Lot 1615 - Taqleed (GB), 6-year-old mare, (Sea The Stars {Ire} x
Eswarah {GB} {Unfuwain {GB})
"This mare had issues and never went into training, but her
first foal wasn't a bad sort and her second foal, by Tamayuz,
looks a very good sort. She is by Sea The Stars, who I am sure
will be a fantastic broodmare sire.
"She is out of Eswarah, who was an Oaks winner. This mare is
closely related to the filly Raabihah, who is also by Sea The Stars
and has run in the last two Arcs. She was fifth in the Arc last year
and unlucky not be closer. She was second in the Vermeille, the
Group 1 and was a very good filly for us.
"The first few foals out of this mare look pretty nice."
Lot 1378 - Jadeerah (GB), 5-year-old mare, (Frankel {GB} x
Maqaasid {GB} {Green Desert {USA})
"She's a Frankel mare in foal to Blue Point. She is from the
family of Shraaoh as well as Raheen House and both won decent
races in Australia.
"She's out of a fast mare, who won the Queen Mary. She has
been a slightly disappointing producer Maqaasid, but she was
very fast. She carried her speed and was third in the 1000
Guineas.
"It is the sort of family that could see a good mare come out of
it and this Frankel was not a bad sort herself. She is in foal to a
fast and tough horse in Blue Point."
Lot 1613 - Fayafi (GB), 2-year-old filly, (Dark Angel {Ire} x
Fadhayyil {Ire} {Tamayuz {GB})
"She is unraced still, and had a stress fracture of her tibia,
which is nothing too major. She's a half-sister to Turaath, who
won the G2 Let=s Elope recently. She was a beautiful filly we sold
last year. She had a few little hiccups here, and she used to hang
a bit and they could never work out why, but obviously, they
have managed to iron that out in Australia. It=s fantastic to see
her win a Group 2.
"Her first and second dams are both stakes winners and this is
a family that will only improve. We have got a nice Dubawi colt
foal out of the mare and we will be keeping him. The dam is in
foal to Mohaather."
Lot 1961 - Afkaar (Ire), 2-year-old filly, (Dark Angel {Ire} x
Entisaar {More Than Ready {USA})
"She is out of the Australian-bred filly, Entisaar, who we
bought in Sydney and took to South Africa where she was
Champion 2-year-old. Eventually we repatriated her to Europe.
She had the Muhaarar gelding Maraakiz, who won his first start
and then had a few issues.
"Entisaar sold at Magic Millions for $375,000 and the Dubawi
filly we sold as a weanling over there as well for $130,000."
Great Expectations On a more general level, Gold expects the Tattersalls
December Sale to be very strong, off the back of good results
elsewhere through 2021.
"I don=t see why not. It was very strong in Ireland on the
whole. The global market, considering the state the world is in,
has been remarkable this year, both in the Southern and
Northern Hemisphere," he said.
"Even for yearlings up here, it was pretty strong, considering
how much everyone was worrying about prizemoney levels, and
the fact we have lost Sheikh Hamdan. People were saying, 'who
will buy those horses?' but it represented an opportunity for
new people to come in with great effect.
"It was a surprisingly strong yearling market, compared to
what some people thought it might be. There is every reason to
think this will be a strong market too."

TAKING STOCK: NEWKENTUCKY STALLIONS
AT $10,000
by Sid Fernando
Back in March of 2009, in the Werk Thoroughbred Consultants
blog, the late Jack Werk recounted a wager we'd made years
earlier. This is what he wrote:
"The year that Elusive Quality went to stud, pedigree
expert Sid Fernando and I had a small side bet: Who was the
best sleeper or long shot from that crop? Sid picked Distorted
Humor, standing for $12,500, a pretty astute choice at the time.
I, of course, picked Elusive Quality, who also went to stud very
cheap--$10,000.
"As it turns out, we both picked wisely! The top two sires by
progeny earnings through the first two months of 2009 are
Distorted Humor and Elusive Quality, and both have sired a
Kentucky Derby winner. For a while it looked like Sid's pick was
going to blow my choice away--Distorted Humor is one of the
best stallions in the country and stands for $150,000--but
Elusive Quality has made a strong 'stretch run' to narrow the
gap, much like his son Raven's Pass's amazing move in the
Breeders' Cup Classic last fall."
Distorted Humor and Elusive Quality aren't the only stallions to
enter stud for fees of between $10,000 and $15,000 that later
ballooned into six-figures. Cont. p3
CANADIAN STAR PINK LLOYD TO BE RETIRED
AFTER KENNEDY ROAD by Bill Finley
In the all-good-things-must-come-to-an-end department, the
venerable 9-year-old Ontario-bred Pink Lloyd (Old Forester) will
make his final career start in Saturday's GII Kennedy Road S. at
Woodbine, trainer Bob Tiller has announced.
"He's getting old, like me," Tiller said. "What does he have to
prove? I just don't want to put him out there against the very
best anymore. He deserves to be retired. He was never going to
go out there and run in $20,000 claimers. The decision has been
made and we will stick to it. It's been a great run."
Win or lose Saturday, Pink Lloyd has put together one of the
more remarkable careers in the history of Canadian racing. He
goes into the Kennedy Road, a race he won in 2017 and 2019,
with 28 career victories from 37 starts and 25 stakes wins.Cont. p9

Kentucky Stallions cont. from p1 More recent examples include three of the best stallions now
at stud: Into Mischief, who began for $12,500 in 2009 at
Spendthrift; Tapit, who started for $15,000 at Gainesway in
2005; and War Front, whose initial fee at Claiborne was $12,500
in 2007.
It's never easy predicting sire success, but what these
examples illustrate is that some top-tier stallions are not
necessarily the best-raced champions, and it could well pay to
scrutinize those horses that enter stud for between $10,000 and
$15,000.
So far, in 2022 there will be at least eight new stallions in
Kentucky in that price range (they are all entering stud for
$10,000), and perhaps one or two of them will turn into a
top-class stallion like those mentioned above. Below are some
brief notes on each, listed alphabetically.
Code of Honor (Noble Mission {GB}--Reunited, by Dixie Union)
at Lane's End: Bred and raced by Lane's End's W.S. Farish, Code
of Honor was sired by an exported ex-Lane's End son of Galileo
(Ire) who is a full brother to Frankel (GB). Code of Honor is an
Code of Honor | Sarah Andrew
anomaly as a Grade l winner on dirt for a sire line known for high performance on turf. The great Galileo, for instance, has yet to sire a top-level winner on dirt. Perhaps Code of Honor will be the conduit for dirt success
for the Galileo branch of Sadler's Wells, just as El Prado (Ire)
was for Sadler's Wells himself? A $70,000 RNA at Keeneland
September, Code of Honor is trained by Shug McGaughey
and has won seven of 19 starts, earning almost $3 million

and he may yet make another start before he starts stud duty.
He won his debut at two and was forward enough to finish second next out to Complexity in the Gl Champagne S. At
three, he was second in the Gl Kentucky Derby and won both
the Gl Travers and Gl Jockey Club Gold Cup at 10 furlongs--his
metier. His dam was a Grade lll winner by the deceased Lane's
End sire Dixie Union, and she produced the Grade ll-placed Big
League (Speightstown) in addition to Code of Honor. The
extended family includes Grade or Group 1 winners Juno,
Fiesta Lady, Thorn Song, and Ali Bey, as well as the current
Grade lll winner Dr. Post (Quality Road).
The skinny: A Grade l winner with lots of classic-distance form for the fee, plus the Galileo-sire line.
Independence Hall (Constitution--Kalahari Cat, by Cape Town) at WinStar: Bred by Woodford Thoroughbreds, Independence Hall was a $100,000 Keeneland September yearling. Racing for a partnership including Eclipse Thoroughbred Partners, Twin Creeks, and WinStar among others, Independence Hall most recently won the Gll Hagyard Fayette S. at Keeneland Oct. 30 for trainer Michael McCarthy, and altogether he's a winner of five of 13 starts and has earnings of $874,000. He'd won both his starts at two, including the Glll Nashua, and was once considered a highly promising Classics prospect for trainer Michael Trombetta but never lived up to that initial hype, and
after a fifth-place finish in the Gl Florida Derby, the colt was
transferred to McCarthy on the west coast with the year-end Gl
Malibu S. as a target--a race in which he also finished fifth. At
four this year, the colt did run third to Knicks Go in the Gl
Pegasus World Cup Invitational, but he was subsequently
unplaced in both the Gl Santa Anita H. and the Gl TVG Pacific
Classic before his most recent win. He's from a dam who has

Known Agenda | Adam Coglianese
two other black-type winners to her credit, including a Grade lll
winner. His extended family has had plenty of top-level success,
including White Moonstone, Desert Stormer, Better Lucky,
Speedy Dollar, Tidal Light, Camp David, Media Sensation,
Dorabella, and Insouciant.
The skinny: A Grade ll winner by a top son of Tapit, which
makes him ideal for American dirt racing. Has plenty of
pedigree, too.
Known Agenda (Curlin--Byrama {GB}, by Byron {GB}) at
Spendthrift: Bred and raced by St. Elias Stable and trained by
Todd Pletcher--who has trained a boatload of successful
stallions--Known Agenda was put through the ring at
Fasig-Tipton Saratoga but was a $135,000 RNA. He won three of
eight starts, earning $640,000, most of that from winning the Gl
Curlin Florida Derby Presented by Hill 'n' Dale Farms at
Xalapa--the farm where Curlin, one of the best stallions in the
country, stands. Known Agenda's dam is a Grade l winner, and
the extended family includes a number of Group 1 or Grade l
winners, including Commander Collins, Lit de Justice, North
America, Gourmet Girl, Trebrook, Paradisus, Soviet Star, The
Very One, Right Con, Fly Till Dawn and Melyno.
The skinny: He's by a top-Classic sire who has already had two
sons sire Grade l winners in their first crops, his dam is a Grade l
winner, his trainer has a knack for making stallions, and he won
the Grade l race that's become the best indicator for future sire
success.
Lexitonian (Speightstown--Riviera Romper, by Tapit) at Lane's
End: Bred and raced by Calumet and trained by Jack Sisterson,
Lexitonian was a late developer like many top-level sons and
daughters of his sire. A winner of five of 21 starts and almost
$720,000, Lexitonian won the Gl Alfred G. Vanderbilt this year at
five, though he gave notice last year that he was a legit
TDN HEADLINE NEWS • PAGE 6 OF 13 • THETDN.COM WEDNESDAY • NOVEMBER 24, 2021
Lexitonian | Mike Kane Modernist | Sarah Andrew
high-level sprinter when he wanted to run, with narrow seconds
in the Gl Bing Crosby (by a nose) and Gl Churchill Downs S. (by a
head). His winning dam was produced from Grade l winner Swap
Fliparoo. The pedigree isn't particularly strong, though fourth
dam Flip's Pleasure was a Grade l winner, and the extended
family also includes top-level winner Big Macher.
The skinny: A Grade l winner by Speightstown, whose son
Munnings, a Grade ll winner of four of 14 starts, began for
$12,500 and will stand for $85,000 in 2022.
Modernist (Uncle Mo--Symbolic Gesture, by Bernardini) at
Darby Dan: Bred and raced by Pam and Marty Wygod and
trained by Bill Mott, Modernist was on the Triple Crown trail
after winning the Gll Risen Star S., but after a third-place finish
in his next start, in the Gll Twinspires.com Louisiana Derby, the
colt was held out of the Kentucky Derby and Gl Preakness for
the Gl Belmont S., a race in which he finished seventh of 10. He

won the Glll Excelsior S. earlier this year at four and enters stud
with a record of three wins from 11 starts and earnings of
almost $600,000. What he lacks in top-class race form, he makes
up in pedigree. His sire is one of the best young stallions in the
country, and his dam is by the best young broodmare sire in N.
America. The immediate family includes Grade l winner and
champion Sweet Catomine as well as Grade l winner Life Is
Sweet--both by Storm Cat--and the extended family includes
such as Grade l winners Pirate's Revenge, Cherokee Run, and
champion Midnight Bisou.
The skinny: A Grade ll winner, he's by a stallion whose first
sons at stud--Nyquist, Laoban, and Outwork--are making an
impact, and he's got a family and broodmare sire that add to his
resume appeal. He will also appeal to Storm Cat-line mares, with
whom both his sire and family have succeeded.
Raging Bull (Fr) (Dark Angel {Ire}--Rosa Bonheur, by Mr.
Greeley) at Gainesway: Bred by the Wildenstein family's Dayton
Investments and raced by Peter Brant with trainer Chad Brown,
Raging Bull sold for the equivalent of $101,000 as a yearling at
Goffs Orby. He's been part of a trend of European-sourced
yearling purchases to make good for Brown in N. America,
winning Grade l turf races at three, five, and six (this year), and
all told, he has a record of seven wins from 22 starts and
earnings of $1.7 million. Brant is introducing vibrant European
sire lines to N. America with him and Demarchelier (GB) at
Claiborne, but Demarchelier is by Dubawi (Ire), whose Seeking
the Gold sire line is more familiar to American breeders. Raging
Bull is from the European-based Northern Dancer line that's
known for its specialist sprinter attributes through the sequence
Royal Applause (GB)/Acclamation (GB)/Dark Angel, and this

could be an important reintroduction of a branch of Northern
Dancer to N. America that's been specific to Europe for decades.
Raging Bull stayed farther here than typical members of this line
do in Europe, but at the end of the day, the line is all about
speed. The immediate pedigree isn't particularly strong, but the
extended family includes such as top-level winners Shahtoush,
Declan's Moon, Montmartre, Kalaglow, Thundering Star, Flying
Duel, Dancing Duel, Ramonti, Zabrasive, and Kings Island.
The skinny: Grade l winner and a member of an excellent sire
line based on a foundation of speed that will introduce some
diversity to the breed.
Rock Your World (Candy Ride {Arg}--Charm the Maker, by
Empire Maker) at Spendthrift: Bred by Ron and Deborah
McAnally and raced by Hronis Racing and Talla Racing with
trainer John Sadler, Rock Your World was by far the most
expensive yearling of this group, selling for $650,000 at
Keeneland September. A winner of three of seven starts and
$600,000, he thrust himself into the Triple Crown picture earlier
this spring with an impressive front-running score in the Gl
Runhappy Santa Anita Derby, defeating eventual Kentucky
Derby winner Medina Spirit by four-plus lengths. I discussed his
pedigree in depth in April in this space, and you can read it here.
The skinny: A spring 3-year-old Grade l winner, he's by Candy
Ride, whose son Gun Runner is carving up all freshman sires this
year. That alone adds heft to his profile, but he's got speed,
racing class, and pedigree, too.
Tacitus (Tapit--Close Hatches, by First Defence) at Taylor
Made: A Juddmonte homebred trained by Bill Mott, Tacitus has
the best pedigree of this group by a mile. His sire is one of the
best in the country and has a top-class son in Constitution, and
his dam is champion and Grade l winner Close Hatches, who
descends from blue hen Best in Show--one of the most
influential mares in the Stud Book and the ancestress of too
TDN HEADLINE NEWS • PAGE 9 OF 13 • THETDN.COM WEDNESDAY • NOVEMBER 24, 2021
Pink Lloyd | Michael Burns
many high-class winners to name here. A winner of four of 17
starts and $3.7 million, Tacitus began his career as if he'd
become one of the most expensive young horses to enter stud,
winning three of his first four starts, including the Gll Lambholm
South Tampa Bay Derby and the Gll Wood Memorial S.
Presented by NYRA Bets. In fact, he was the favorite in the 2019
Kentucky Derby, but he ran third, and soon thereafter the
pattern emerged that he was never quite good or lucky enough
to get that Grade l race on his resume, though he tried mightily,
hitting the board in such Grade l races as the Belmont S.,
Travers, Jockey Club Gold Cup (twice), and Woodward.
The skinny: Grade ll winner by the sire of Constitution with so
much family that his good-enough race record takes a back seat.
Sid Fernando is president and CEO of Werk Thoroughbred
Consultants, Inc., originator of the Werk Nick Rating and eNicks.
Pink Lloyd cont. from p1
All of his races have been at Woodbine. When converted to
U.S. dollars, his career earnings stand at $1,786,083.
"He's the angel from heaven," Tiller said. "He's the
Muhammad Ali of all the horses I've trained over the years and
I've been doing this for 48 years here at Woodbine. He's the
man. He's the king. Anytime you find another horse who has
won 25 stakes and 28 times you let me know about it."
Pink Lloyd was purchased for $30,000 at the 2013 Canadian
Thoroughbred Horse Society yearling sale by owner Frank Di
Giulio, Jr. He didn't make his first start until his 4-year-old year.
He went three-for-five that year, but the best was yet to come.
At five, he went eight-for-eight in 2017 and was named
Canadian Horse of the Year.
TDN HEADLINE NEWS • PAGE 10 OF 13 • THETDN.COM WEDNESDAY • NOVEMBER 24, 2021
Pink Lloyd | Michael Burns
Tiller campaigned him carefully. He never ran on the turf,
outside of Canada or in any races longer than seven furlongs.
The reward was more than five years of sustained excellence.
He was named the champion male sprinter in Canada every year
from 2017 through 2020. He was also named champion older
horse in 2017 and champion older dirt male in 2019.
"I'll tell you what makes him so great--heart and desire and
liking what he's doing and wanting to win," Tiller said. "He goes
after horses and he did that from day one. On day one, we put a
horse three-four lengths in front of him and he'd blow by them
by the time he hit the turns. He always wanted to do it."
Following his last race, Pink Lloyd will be sent to the LongRun
Thoroughbred Retirement Society in nearby Hillsburgh, Ontario.
"I have so much respect for this animal" Tiller said. "I say that
truthfully. I have tremendous respect and love for this animal
and we don't want to do anything that would make him look
bad."
Pink Lloyd is being retired at a point where he is still competing
at a high level. He's two-for-four on the year and is coming off
back-to-back wins in the GIII Bold Venture S. and the Ontario
Jockey Club S. But he may not have been at his best in the
Ontario Jockey Club, where he had to fight to win by a neck as
the odds-on favorite.
Since the Kennedy Road is for open company, it figures to be a
tough race for the 9-year-old. While Tiller would like to see him
go out with a win, he said there are more important things than
one more victory.
"I'm looking forward to this race, but it's not a matter of life
and death," he said. "He's been beaten before for different
reasons. Every great horse gets beat. At end of the day, it's more
important for him to come back from the race safe and sound."

Breeders' Cup Challenge Series races. Northern Farm, from
Japan, finished second in the competition with 40 points, and St.
George Stables finished third with 36 points.
"We congratulate Godolphin on their extraordinary group of
progeny which led them to their fourth consecutive John Deere
Award, and a record three wins by homebreds at the World
Championships," said Dora Delgado, Breeders' Cup Executive
Vice President and Chief Racing Officer. "Godolphin's success is
emblematic of their longtime commitment to international
breeding and racing. We thank them and all participating
breeders for their enormous support, which has been vital to
the sustained growth of the Breeders' Cup program over the
past 38 years."
"Godolphin is delighted to once again be the recipient of the
Breeders' Cup/John Deere breeder award," said Michael
Banahan, Godolphin Director of Farm Operations. "The industry
is indebted to John Deere for the sponsorship of the Breeders'
Cup for many years and so grateful for their continued support.
This award goes to all the Godolphin personnel that work
incredibly hard behind the scenes to achieve the fantastic
results we have had with our homebreds on the track this year."

AHis best attribute is his speed, but his personality is
unparalleled to any horse I=ve ever owned,@ said owner Mike
Mowrey. AHe=s a very smart horse--he=s calm, cool and collected,
but when he got on the track, he meant business. If he passes on
his speed and his personality, I think his foals will be pretty
precocious.@
Swifty General Manager Jerri Harmon added, AWe think the
addition of American Pastime to our roster will expand the
offerings Swifty Farms has, as well as bring a new set of
bloodlines to the state. He=s settled in quite well and we=re

CHURCHILL DOWNS INC. SELLS 115.7 ACRES OF
CALDER LAND Churchill Downs Incorporated has signed an agreement to sell
115.7 acres of land near Calder Casino for $291 million or
approximately $2.5 million per acre. CDI has agreed to sell the
land to Link Logistics, one of the premier owners of logistics real
estate assets, established in 2019 by Blackstone.

Grade I winner Super Stock ran to the money with a facile
score in the Zia Park Derby. Heavily favored in a field scratched
down to four, the bay contested the pace rounding the first turn
then sat back to press from second, glued to the leader's outside
hip through a :24.81 first quarter. Drawing even as the half went
in :49.733, Super Stock stuck his head in front while two wide on
the backstretch run and bounded clear in the lane to score.
Super Stock upended the GI Arkansas Derby at 12-1 in April,
but failed to fire on the First Saturday in May, finishing 16th in
the GI Kentucky Derby. Rallying to be fourth in the Texas Derby
May 31, he filled the same spot in the July 2 Iowa Derby and
returned to winning ways in the Ellis Park Derby Aug. 15. The
$70,000 KEESEP buy was last seen finishing third in the GIII
