SEA THE STARS FILLYSHINES AT BOOK 1 CLOSER
By Emma Berry and Kelsey Riley
NEWMARKET, UKBBRobert Barnett=s famous Time Charter (Ire)
family returned to the limelight on Thursday with a Sea The
Stars (Ire) filly out of the G2 Queen Mary and G2 Lowther S.
winner Best Terms (GB) (Exceed And Excel {Aus}) topping Book 1
at 1.5 million gns when sold to Godolphin.
The chestnut filly (lot 411) was consigned for sale by Newsells
Park Stud, where her dam has resided since the sale of the
Barnetts= Fair Winter Farm in 2017. Best Terms, a former
champion 2-year-old filly in England, has already produced a
black-type winner to Sea The Stars, with her 5-year-old daughter
Star Terms (GB) having won the Listed Prix de Thiberville as well
as finishing runner-up in the G2 May Hill S. Another daughter,
Fresh Terms (GB) (New Approach {Ire}), is also a listed winner in
France. The 12-year-old mare is great grand-daughter of the
outstanding Time Charter, whose top-flight wins include the
1982 Oaks and Champion S. and the following year=s King
George VI and Queen Elizabeth S.
Robert Barnett, whose family has been breeding horses for a
century, was at Tattersalls with his wife Ann to watch the
yearling sell. Cont. p2
WHERE STARS ENTWINE
by Tom Frary
Now that Europe is firmly ensconced in autumn, Newmarket=s
Rowley Mile is the stage for some of the season=s most revered
2-year-old encounters and Friday sees the G1 bet365 Fillies=
Mile help sort out the pecking order in the female division.
Topping that category at present is Cheveley Park Stud=s
unbeaten Inspiral (GB) (Frankel {GB}), who was introduced on
the July Course here June 26 before putting the re-opposing
subsequent GI Natalma S. winner Wild Beauty (GB) (Frankel
{GB}) in her place in Sandown=s Listed Star S. July 22 and
following up in the G2 May Hill S. at Doncaster Sept. 9. While
that form is not out of the ordinary, the daughter of the G1 1000
Guineas runner-up Starscope (GB) (Selkirk) has impressed
Frankie Dettori with the style of her performances and he is
quick to lavish praise on the Gosden representative. Cont. p12

Tattersalls October Book 1 Day 3 Cont. from p1
He said after congratulating Sheikh Mohammed on his
purchase, AWe=ve always loved her. The family has been so
good, it goes right the way back to the Athasi (Ire) family and
then Time Charter. Best Terms was great fun on the racecourse
and we=ve always admired Sea The Stars. I love the look of him
and we try to find a stallion of the right size and right
conformation.@
Confirming that Best Terms is now in foal to Wootton Bassett
(GB) with a Kingman (GB) colt foal on the ground, he added with
a smile, AWe were tempted to keep the filly but temptation ran
out a bit earlier. She=s the most athletic yearling we=ve had for
quite some time, and she has a lovely outlook, she=s very
laidback. There seems to be good trade this week with a lots of
breeders buying these well-bred fillies.@
Positive Start To October Sale On a day when Godolphin and Coolmore continued their
strong support of Book 1, they were joined on the leader board
by Sheikha Fatima Bint Hazza Bin Zayed Al Nahyan=s Al Shira=aa
Farm, which has signalled serious intent in its establishment of
an illustrious broodmare band as its Irish base of Meadow Court
Stud on The Curragh. The American participation has been
stronger than ever, led by Mike Ryan, who signed for 15
yearlings for a total of 3,750,000gns, while British agent Alex
Elliott was also busy, with 14 bought for 3,900,000gns.

The sale-topping Sea The Stars filly | Tattersalls
Tattersalls October Book 1 Day 3 Cont.
ABook 1 of last year=s Tattersalls October Yearling Sale was
widely regarded as a sale which showed remarkable resilience in
the face of the well-documented challenges which we all
endured, which makes the gains achieved this week even more
creditable,@ said Tattersalls Chairman Edmond Mahony as the
first major section of the October Sale concluded.
AYear after year Book 1 of the October Yearling Sale showcases
the finest British-, Irish-, French- and German-bred yearlings,
and year after year these yearlings go on to achieve
extraordinary racecourse success on the global stage. Even by
the lofty standards of Book 1, 2021 has been a truly
phenomenal year with the world=s highest-rated 3-year-old, St
Mark=s Basilica, the world=s highest-rated miler Palace Pier, dual
Classic winner Hurricane Lane, Europe=s highest-rated 2-year-old
Native Trail and the highest-rated turf horse in America,
Domestic Spending, all purchased at October Book 1, and it is
this consistent success which brings so many of the world=s
leading buyers to the sale.@
With the clearance rate improving for the sale as a whole to
83% from 79%, 375 yearlings sold across the three days for
86,369,000gns, which was up 5% from last year. In 2019, when
22 more yearlings were sold at Book 1, the aggregate was
102,429,000gns. This year=s sale beat the 2019 median of
150,000gns, coming in at 160,000gns, while the average of
230,317gns was up 3% on 2020 and behind the 2019 figure of
258,008gns.
The final day, which brought the strongest trade, reached a
tally of 31,052,000gns from 125 yearlings sold at a median of
180,000gns (+20%) and average of 248,416gns (-6%).
Mahony continued, AWhile the figures may not have returned
to the dizzy heights of 2019, and the very top of the market has
made an adjustment, the average, median and clearance rate
have all improved significantly and the turnover has also
climbed despite a smaller catalogue.@ Cont. p4

Tattersalls October Book 1 Day 3 Cont.
He added, AParticularly encouraging has been the depth and
diversity amongst the buyers in all sectors of the market. Nine
different buyers have bought yearlings for 750,000gns or more
and in addition to the strong British and Irish participation,
buyers from Abu Dhabi, Australia, Bahrain, China, Dubai, France,
Hong Kong, Japan, Saudi Arabia and the USA have all made
significant contributions.
AParticularly notable has been the powerful American
contingent. They have been a real feature of October Book 1 in
recent years and the extraordinary level of racecourse success
has driven even greater demand with around 50 Book 1
yearlings acquired over the past three days heading across the
Atlantic. Turf racing in America continues to grow and thrive and
American buyers have clearly identified Book 1 of the Tattersalls
October Yearling Sale as the premier source of superior turf
horses.
AIn addition to the major impact of the international buyers, it
has also been rewarding to see that the lucrative ,20,000
Tattersalls October Book 1 Bonus Scheme continues to entice
buyers at all levels of the Book 1 market. Owners in Britain and
Ireland have been rewarded with almost ,7,000,000 in bonus
prize-money since the scheme's inception in 2016 and to see so
many owners, syndicates and trainers busy this week is a tribute
to the enduring appeal of the Book 1 Bonus.
AAbove all, after the rigours of last year, it has been a pleasure
to have welcomed so many people back to Park Paddocks. We
now turn our attention to Books 2, 3 and 4 of the 2021
Tattersalls October Yearling Sale and look forward to sustaining
the momentum established this week at Europe=s premier
yearling sale.@
Waldgeist=s Sister Makes An Entrance
When a Dubawi (Ire) half-sibling to an Arc winner is scheduled
to be first through the ring then it=s a pretty safe bet that the
day will start with a bang. So it proved for the final session of
Book 1 when a sister to Waldgeist (GB) (Galileo {Ire}) stepped
into the spotlight at Tattersalls and was added to an increasingly
impressive list of blue-blooded young females being assembled
for an eventual broodmare band by Al Shira=aa Farms.
Last week at the Goffs Orby Sale, Sheikha Fatima Bint Hazza
Bin Zayed Al Nahyan of Abu Dhabi bought three smart fillies for
i1.1 million and that outlay was extended in Newmarket by
2.91 million gns spent on four yearlings.
Head of that group at 1.25 million gns was lot 336, the
chestnut half-sister not only to four-time Group 1 winner
Waldgeist but also to the group winners Waldlied (GB) (New
Approach {Ire}) and Waldkonig (GB) (Kingman {GB}). Cont. p5

Kieran Lalor | Tattersalls
Tattersalls October Book 1 Day 3 Cont.
All four siblings were bred by Newsells Park Stud in
partnership with Gestut Ammerland from the Monsun (Ger)
mare Waldlerche (GB), herself a
winner of the G3 Prix Penelope.
David Cox conducted the
bidding on behalf Al Shira=aa,
outlasting Simon Mockridge of
Juddmonte, and he later had MV
Magnier as underbidder when
the team also bought lot 369,
Glenvale Stud=s No Nay Never
half-sister to GI Belmont Derby
winner Bolshoi Ballet (Ire)
(Galileo {Ire}), for 925,000gns.
Kieran Lalor, Al Shira=aa=s
Irish-based manager, said, AWe
think we were able to buy her
and the others at reasonable
value. We are a breeding operation first and foremost, but we
do race and we have had a very good year on the track this year
with a couple of fillies, with one in France [Rumi] and another in
the U.S. with Christophe Clement. These fillies will definitely be
retained for long-term breeding.@
He continued, AThe boss has the final say on everything and
she was really keen on this [No Nay Never] filly especially. We=ll
sit down after this and figure out where we are going to send
them. They will mostly be
staying in Europe, but a couple
might go to the U.S. These are
exciting times; it=s very nice to
have these families, they rarely
become available and for us it is
a no-brainer.@
Plus Ca Change For
Newsells Park Newsells Park Stud, leading
vendor at Book 1 for the fourth
consecutive year and sixth time
since 2013, was responsible for
the first three lots into the ring
on Thursday, all from the same family. Following the Dubawi filly
was lot 337, a Kingman (GB) colt and the first foal of the G2 Prix
de Malleret winner Waldlied, being hammered down to Chad
Brown for Klaravich Stables for 425,000gns.

Tattersalls October Book 1 Day 3 Cont.
Next came lot 338, a Sea The Stars (Ire) colt out of Waldnah
(GB) (New Approach {Ire}), a listed-winning half-sister to
Waldgeist=s dam Waldlerche and to the St Leger winner Masked
Marvel (GB) (Montjeu {Ire}).
It has been a year of change for the stud, with Graham
Smith-Bernal buying the Hertfordshire farm in June from the
Jacobs family. In the sale ring, however, it has pretty much been
business as usual.
Reflecting on another successful Book 1 for Newsells Park,
which sold 22 lots for 10,785,000gns, manager Julian Dollar said,
AIt has been a great day=s trade for us. On the first day we had a
very nice filly for a client who sold well but it was sticky enough,
then the second day I thought the prices were fair with no great
result, but today has been very strong.
AThe nice horses made a lot more than I thought they were
going to make and some of our clients have really benefitted
from that. Robert Barnett was absolutely thrilled and he is a
great owner/breeder who has developed that family really well.
He entrusted us with his mares a few years ago when he sold
Fair Winter and he=s a real gentleman so I am thrilled for him
with that result.@
He continued, AWe=ve been lucky for the last few years but we
didn=t have a Shastye to pull out of the hat this time. But I
thought we had some lovely horses and there weren=t really too
many weak ones among the draft.
AObviously we had a very well-bred filly and I am thrilled she
made over a million, in fact if she hadn=t we would have bought
our partner out, but we didn=t even get a bid in. She deserved
that, a beautiful Dubawi half-sister to an Arc winner with that
page. And I=m delighted that she is going to Al Shira=aa Farms as
Kieran Lalor was a colleague of mine in America and was
broodmare manager when I was running Castleton Lyons in
America. He=s come back to Ireland and is now running Meadow
Court Stud and I think he=s bought some very smart fillies with
lovely pedigrees. He=s thinking racing and he=s thinking of the
future and it=s great to see.@
Anthem On Song A day after the announcement of the retirement of his G1
Matron S. winner No Speak Alexander (Ire) (Shalaa {Ire}), Noel
O=Callaghan=s Mountarmstrong Stud enjoyed a good return in
the sale ring through the sale of a Galileo (Ire) colt for 1.1 million
gns to MV Magnier.
The colt=s dam Anthem Alexander (Ire) (Starspangledbanner
{Aus}) had been offered in Book 1 eight years ago but has been
bought back by her breeder at 48,000gns.

Tattersalls October Book 1 Day 3 Cont.
This proved to be a fortuitous decision as the half-sister to
Dandy Man (Ire) (Mozart {Ire}) won the following season=s G2
Queen Mary S. in O=Callaghan=s colours when trained by Eddie
Lynam.
AHe=s a proper horse,@ said O=Callaghan of lot 383 as he left the
ring. ALet=s hope he is very lucky for his new people. He=s going
to a proper trainer so he has every chance.@
Galileo fillies will be in vogue the next few years perhaps more
than ever, given the late stallion=s rapidly ascending profile as a
broodmare sire, and Gary Hadden went to 750,000gns to secure
Newsells Park Stud=s homebred Galileo daughter of Aljazzi (GB)
(Shamardal) (lot 365) on Thursday morning. The bay is the first
foal out of Aljazzi, who won the G2 Duke of Cambridge S. and G3
Atalanta S. for Saleh Al Homaizi and Imad Al Sagar and trainer
Marco Botti, and Newsells was able to secure her for 1-million
gns at the 2018 Tattersalls Autumn Horses in Training Sale while
the owners= partnership was being dissolved. Hadden is
connected to Craig Bennett=s Merry Fox Stud, which sold a Sea
The Stars (Ire) filly out of Time Control (GB) (Sadler=s Wells) to
Lordship Stud for 680,000gns on Wednesday, but Hadden said
the ownership group of Aljazzi=s filly had not been determined.
AShe is a lovely filly out of a fantastic racemare,@ Hadden said.
AI think in this market fillies are standing out; people see them as
solid investments and they=re not making Galileos anymore. He=s
a fantastic broodmare sire and if she has some racing ability
she=ll be a lovely broodmare.@
Battaash=s Sister To Coolmore The McCartan family=s Ballyphilip Stud has been associated
with a number of top-class sprinters in recent years, including
the immensely popular Battaash (GB) (Dark Angel {Ire}), whose
full-brother appeared as lot 379 and sold for 750,000gns to MV
Magnier.
The colt has plenty to live up to as his 7-year-old brother was
twice the winner of the Nunthorpe S. among his four Group 1
wins, but the youngster is already out in front in the looks
department, according to Paul McCartan, who said, AThis guy
was the better-looking one. I have always said that Battaash was
the best-looking horse we had bred, but I think this guy is better.
He is straightforward. Battaash was a lovely horse and not an
unkind horse, but he had his quirks. This colt is more
straightforward."
McCartan, who also bred Godolphin=s top sprinter Harry Angel
(Ire), by the same sire, said, AHe=s a beautiful horse and he=s
gone to a very good home. Anna Law has been very lucky for us,
she has made us plenty of money.@
Now 11, the colt=s dam Anna Law (Ire) (Lawman {Fr}) was an
undistinguished racehorse and was bought from trainer Charlie
Hills for 14,000gns at the end of her 2-year-old season. She has
proved to be an inspired purchase. Her first foal Battaash was
bought as a yearling for 200,000gns by Shadwell, and that same
outfit returned to the well in 2019 when buying his full-sister
Altaayshah (Ire) for 800,000gns in Book 1. She is unraced to
date. Cont. p7

Chris Budgett | Tattersalls
Tattersalls October Book 1 Day 3 Cont.
Now in foal to Blue Point (Ire), Anna Law has a filly foal by
Lope De Vega (Ire). McCartan added, AOf course it would have
been nice to have seen Angus [Gold, Shadwell=s racing manager]
sign the docket, but it is not too bad when Coolmore are signing
and Aidan O'Brien is going to be training.@
Special Alliance Sheikh Mohammed was at Park Paddocks throughout Book 1
and his presence was certainly felt as the leading buyer of the
week with a 9,375,000gns outlay on 15 yearlings. They included
lot 398, the Frankel (GB) colt sold by Kirtlington Stud on behalf
of American celebrity chef and breeder Bobby Flay for
625,000gns.
Flay had bought his dam Auld Alliance (Ire) (Montjeu {Ire}), a
half-sister to 2000 Guineas and King George winner Golan (Ire)
and Derby runner-up Tartan Bearer (Ire), from Ballymacoll Stud
back in 2013 and she raced in his
colours the following season
when trained by Graham
Motion. The colt=s 3-year-old
full-brother Modus Operandi
(Ire) won for the Coolmore
partners in May at Navan, while
the 2-year-old, also by Frankel
and named Old School (GB), is
trained for Flay by Todd
Pletcher.
ARight from the word go he=s
been very nice,@ said Kirtlington
Stud=s Chris Budgett. "I=ve been
fortunate enough to look after
quite a lot of good horses over
my life but there are some that are just that little bit extra
special and I would put him in that category. Frankel has had a
great year and the right team have bought him from that point
of view. If everything goes well I would hope that he becomes a
top-class racehorse.@
He added, AThe mare is owned by Bobby Flay, who had her in
Ireland and then James Delahooke asked if I could look after her.
I have just had my first ever conversation with Bobby about half
an hour ago and he=s a charming man. The mare foaled with us
and the colt has never put a foot wrong all the way through.
He=s just a cracking individual.@
Frankel=s 16 yearlings sold in Book 1 returned an average of
373,438gns, and there were some decent results from the first
crop of his son Cracksman (GB), notably via lot 457. The filly,
bred and sold as a foal by Ringfort Stud for 95,000gns, had
received a decent update between sales as she is a half-sister to
Fearby (Ire) (Havana Gold {Ire}), whose busy juvenile season has
included a listed win, second in the G3 Molecomb S., and a
third-place finish in the G2 Mill Reef S. Returned to the ring by
pinhooker Brendan Holland of Grove Stud, the daughter of
Cracksman and the One Cool Cat mare Coolminx (Ire) was sold
for 410,000gns to Arthur Hoyeau of Windfield Bloodstock.
Derek Veitch of Ringfort Stud had his own decent yearling
touch a little later on when selling lot 472, a daughter of
Profitable (Ire), for 425,000gns to Oliver St Lawrence. The filly=s
dam Cynthiana (Fr) (Siyouni {Fr}), from the family of Arc winner
Rail Link (GB), was bought as a 5-year-old at Arqana for just
i4,000. Her first foal Rebel Town (Ire) (Dawn Approach {Ire})
was a winner in Japan last year for Godolphin.
Bridlewood, Madaket Join American Fray American trainer Jonathan Thomas and John Panagot, racing
manager to prominent owner Sol Kumin, visited Park Paddocks
for the first time this week and
came away with three fillies to
repatriate to the U.S. on behalf
of Kumin=s Madaket Stables and
John Malone=s Bridlewood Farm.
Malone is also the owner of
Ballylinch Stud.
The Bridlewood/Madaket
purchases were a Sea The Stars
(Ire) filly who is the first foal out
of the unraced Newton=s Angel
(Ire) (Dark Angel {Ire}) from the
family of group winners like
Dress Rehearsal (Ire), Muthmir
(Ire) and My Titania (Ire) (lot
176); a Bungleinthejungle (Ire)
half-sister to the listed-winning and G1 Nunthorpe S. second
Que Amoro (Ire) (Es Que Love {Ire}) (lot 185); and a Lope De
Vega (Ire) granddaughter of the dual Group 3 winner Shemima
(GB) (Dalakhani {Ire}), whose third dam is the G1 Prix de Diane
scorer Shemaka (Ire) (lot 270).
AWe had a couple orders for fillies and we thought we=d come
over and investigate the landscape,@ Thomas explained. AWe=re
not pioneering anything, we=re following in the footsteps of
some people that have been very successful. We=re finding an
abundance of quality and I think there=s very good value for the
calibre of horse that there is here. We=ve probably shortlisted
and liked things that are a little bit above what we have to
spend, but we got three nice horses that vetted well and are
very correct and nice movers and have enough pedigree to take
us somewhere. We=re getting our feet wet, and it=s been a very
enjoyable experience.@ Cont. p9

SESSION TOPPERS
Tattersalls October Book 1 Day 3 Cont.
Thomas, who is best known thus far for training the 2018 GI
Travers S. and GI Belmont Derby Invitational winner Catholic Boy
(More Than Ready), said he found it relatively straightforward to
buy the horses he liked this week.
AWe=ll walk away feeling like we got some value, especially on
the heels of Keeneland; it seemed like there was some crazy
money for some lesser animals, to me,@ he said. AThere was a
voracious appetite for a horse at Keeneland. As you=re in the
earlier books you=re contending with super groups, and as you
get down into the latter books there are still good horses, but
then you=re in this pinhooking frenzy. There is an interesting
void here; we=re used to contending with pinhookers at the
$150,000, $200,000 level, and that isn=t the case here. There are
trainers and people looking for racehorses, so that=s been
interesting. What we=ve bought, we=ve found them easy to buy.
It=s been an interesting market. I=m a sucker anyway for these
really good, free-moving grass horses, so I=m like a kid in a candy
store.@
Thomas said he came to Park Paddocks with an open mind as
to what he might take home.
AWe didn=t pigeonhole ourselves as far as pedigree,@ he noted.
AThe obvious ones we would leave out would be if they=d need
two miles, because there are no real options for them in the U.S.
We=re trying to find horses that look like what they were made
to be on paper and, most importantly, fall within our budget.
We vetted a lot, I=d say we vetted on average 20 to 25 a day,
and just kind of let the chips fall. Most of them went above what
we expected and very few went for less, and then the handful
we got fell within our price range.@
John Malone, an American businessman concentrated in the
media sector, purchased Bridlewood Farm in Ocala, Florida in
2013 and Ballylinch in Co. Kilkenny the following year, and
Thomas said the purchases will be broken in at Ballylinch before
being exported to the U.S.
AWe have a sister farm in Ireland, Ballylinch, and we thought it
would be interesting to send them to Ballylinch to get started
and maybe come home sometime after the new year,@ he said.

Where Stars Entwine Cont. from p1
Operating at a scarcely-believable 40% strike rate in worldwide
Group and Grade I races this year, Frankie is looking for a
seventh win in the race that gave him his second career top-
level victory 31 years ago.
AI was really taken by her at Sandown. She won really well and
I later rode the horse that finished second in that race, Wild
Beauty, to win next time out in Canada so that is good form,@ he
said. AShe has done nothing wrong so far and she is taking the
usual progression after winning a Group 2 to have a go at a
Group 1. She has got a great physique and lots of scope and she
is not the finished article by any means. She is kind and talented
and we expect her to progress over the winter. It is all positive
stuff.@
It has been a while since Cheveley Park have had as hot a
Guineas prospect to look forward to and managing director
Chris Richardson is hoping Inspiral stays on track here. AShe=s
done everything right so far and is a lovely filly,@ he said. AShe=s
working well, but this is a big step up and she=ll be racing on
some rain-softened ground which she hasn=t encountered
before. Her mother went on it and what will be will be. Dreams
may be shattered, but we may have even bigger dreams for next
year if all goes our way.@
Also unbeaten is Qatar Racing=s G3 Prestige S. winner Mise En
Scene (GB) (Siyouni {Fr}), who represents the St Mark=s Basilica
cross and who has impressed with the manner of her displays on
debut at Haydock July 2 and in that Goodwood contest Aug. 28.
In the Prestige, she had the May Hill runner-up Prosperous
Voyage (Ire) (Zoffany {Ire}) back in third and the subsequent G2
Rockfel S. winner Hello You (Ire) (Invincible Spirit {Ire}) in fourth
and is within range of the favourite on that evidence. AI=m really
looking forward to her,@ Oisin Murphy said. AI think the world of
Inspiral and she will probably be hard to beat, but Mise En Scene
is a beautiful filly.@
Trainer James Ferguson added, AAfter Goodwood, the first
thing Oisin said was that she needs a mile. She did a nice piece
of work on the racecourse and she seemed to handle it fine.
Oisin rode her very coolly at Goodwood and if he wanted to he
could have got there quicker. He was aware he was going to get
there and gave her a beautiful ride, but I think with another
furlong she would have gone again.@
From Ireland are Zhang Yuesheng=s Aug. 27 G3 Flame of Tara S.
winner Magical Lagoon (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) and Ballydoyle=s Sept.
26 G3 Weld Park S. scorer Concert Hall (Ire) (Dubawi {Ire}).
Jessica Harrington has waited with Magical Lagoon since that
Curragh contest and arrives with a fresh filly. AI=m very excited
about running her. She=s a lovely filly,@ she said. AI probably
would have been more worried if the ground had been good-to-
firm. She won at The Curragh and I think the ground that day
was yielding. They=ve all got to run down that hill and keep
themselves balanced, but she=s a very well-balanced filly and she
did run at Naas on debut which has a fair few ridges down the
back and she seemed to cope with that well. She=s a big filly and
it=s just taken a bit of time to get her into shape and her fitness
up to the right level. Ultimately, I think she=ll probably end up
being a mile-and-a-half filly.@
Concert Hall is a daughter of Was (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) and will
be looking to provide Aidan O=Brien with a sixth renewal. AShe=s
been improving with every run,@ he said. AWe always thought
she=d stay further than a mile and she has seen the seven
furlongs out really well in her last few races. She=ll be happy that
the ground is nice. That=s in her favour.@
Despite being comprehensively beaten by Inspiral in the Star S.
and finding Majestic Glory (GB) (Frankel {GB}) a length too
strong in the July Course=s G3 Sweet Solera S. Aug. 7, Wild
Beauty is the Charlie Appleby representative and it will be
interesting to see whether her Canadian excursion will aid her
cause here. Cont. p13

Where Stars Entwine Cont.
AWe were delighted to see Wild Beauty win a Grade I in
Canada, when she improved for the step up to a mile,@ he said.
AShe has taken that race well and goes into this with plenty of
experience at a high level.@
Oh So Sharp Could Give Classic Pointers Also on the card is the seven-furlong G3 Godolphin Lifetime
Care Oh So Sharp S., which is missing TDN Rising Star Raclette
(GB) (Frankel {GB}) but which has some Classic wannabes
including Team Valor and Gary Barber=s Sept. 2 G3 Dick Poole
Fillies= S. runner-up Pearl Glory (Ire) (Cotai Glory {GB}) and
Andrew Rosen=s same-card Salisbury maiden winner Good
American (GB) (American Pharoah). Pearl Glory=s trainer Kevin
Philippart De Foy is looking forward to stepping up his filly from
six furlongs and said, AShe=s been doing very well since the Dick
Poole. The filly is in good form and it looked like she wanted a
step up in trip last time out, so we are trying the seven furlongs
this time. I think she will handle Newmarket fine, but she
wouldn=t want the ground to be too soft. I hope it dries a bit.@
Challenge In The Cards For Elders Away from the juveniles, the G2 Godolphin Stud & Stable Staff
Awards Challenge S. which used to be part of the old Champions
Day at Newmarket offers the opportunity for some of the year=s
Anearly horses@ in the seven-furlong category to shine. Of the
Godolphin duo, William Buick has opted for the mercurial Al
Suhail (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}), whose four runs in Newmarket
include a second in the 2019 G3 Autumn S. and a career-best
six-length success on similar ground in the Listed Sir Henry Cecil
S. last July.
AAl Suhail lacks a bit of consistency, but has taken each run
well this year and if he produces his best form should be bang
there,@ Charlie Appleby said of the 4-year-old, whose opponents
include Michael Pescod=s G2 Champagne S. and G3 Greenham S.
winner Chindit (Ire) (Wootton Bassett {GB}).

TUMBLER BOUNDS TO TDN RISING
STARDOM IN FRANCE by Sean Cronin
Carlos Laffon-Parias trainee Tumbler (Fr) (Kingman {GB}), a
hitherto untested homebred sporting the colours of Alain and
Gerard Wertheimer, was eclipsed for favouritism in the betting,
but opened up with an impressive daylight rout of five rivals in
Thursday=s Prix As d=Atout, a seven-furlong heat for unraced 2-
year-old colts and geldings, at Saint-Cloud. The 17-5 chance was
swiftly into stride and settled into a smooth rhythm racing third,
four lengths off the pace, through halfway. Sent wide with the
field into the straight, he quickened in taking fashion to sweep
by Heatherwood (Fr) (Birchwood {Ire}) passing the two pole and
powered clear in style once easing underneath the stands= side
rail with 300 metres remaining. Tumbler stretched out to a 10-
length advantage from Heatherwood at the line, earning a >TDN
Rising Star= on debut.
AHe is a colt who has worked very well in the mornings at
home and we were confident beforehand, but it=s never easy to
know the level of the others in these [debutants=] races,@
declared Laffon-Parias. AHe shows a lot of character and we
must see how he takes his race before deciding if we run again
this year. I am hopeful he will be better than his [stakes-placed
half-] brothers Twist and Kertez.@
Tumbler is the fifth of seven foals and fourth scorer produced
by a winning half-sister to three stakes winners headed by G1
Poule d=Essai des Poulains-winning sire Falco (Pivotal {GB}) and
G3 Prix Eclipse victrix Iron Lips (GB) (Iron Mask). Descendants of
Iron Lips include stakes-winning multiple Spanish champion
Oriental (Jpn) (Smart Strike), Listed Prix Millkom runner-up
Argentic (Fr) (Kendargent {Fr}) and Listed Prix Francois Boutin
third Unveil (Ire) (Showcasing {GB}). The March-foaled bay is a
half-brother to Listed Prix de Saint-Patrick runner-up Twist (Fr)
(Pivotal {GB}), Listed Prix Turenne second Kertez (GB) (Intello
{Ger}), a yearling colt by Anodin (Ire) and a weanling filly by
Siyouni (Fr). Tumbler=s second dam Icelips (Unbridled), herself
out of a half-sister to G1SW sire Groom Dancer (Blushing Groom
{Fr}), is a half-sister to MG1SP G2 Prix de Malleret victrix
Legerete (Rahy) and G2 Prix de Malleret runner-up Underwater

LIFE IN MOTION JOINS THE RISING STAR
RANKS AT SAINT-CLOUD Following on where the colt Tumbler (Fr) (Kingman {GB}) had
left off at Saint-Cloud on Thursday, Godolphin=s filly Life in
Motion (Ire) (Sea the Stars {Ire}) earned TDN Rising Star status
in the Prix Tenebreuse also for newcomers over seven furlongs.
Settled in fourth early on the testing ground by Mickael
Barzalona, the daughter of the G1 Prix Saint-Alary Wavering (Ire)
(Refuse To Bend {Ire}) arrived on the front end full of running
with 1 1/2 furlongs remaining. Pushed out from there, the Andre
Fabre-trained 7-10 favourite was able to secure a facile five-
length success from Indian Wish (Fr) (The Grey Gatsby {Ire}),
with Roselyne (Fr) (Dariyan {Fr}) a further three lengths away in
third as they finished strung out.
AShe is still very immature, but goes to great lengths to do
things right and I really liked her way of doing things,@ said
winning rider Mickael Barzalona. AWe could have won more
easily, but she was on and off the bit in behind the leading
horses. I allowed her to relax and let her come back to me in her
own time. Once we quickened to the front, I didn=t look back to
see how far she won by and she still had plenty in reserve at the
line.@
The dam has also produced the G3 Prix de Flore runner-up
Switching (Street Cry {Ire}) and her G3 Prix Chloe-placed
full-sister Flowrider, who was fourth in the Saint-Alary. The
second dam Summertime Legacy (GB) (Darshaan {GB}) took the
G3 Prix des Reservoirs and was third in the Saint-Alary herself
before also producing the former TDN Rising Star and G1
Criterium de Saint-Cloud winner Mandaean (GB) (Manduro
{Ger}). Her daughter Winters Moon (Ire) (New Approach {Ire})
was third in the G1 Fillies Mile before providing these
connections with the G1 Prix Morny and G1 Middle Park S. hero
Earthlight (Ire) (Shamardal), while another of Wavering=s half-
sisters Lavender and Lace (GB) (Barathea {Ire} is responsible for
the G2 Superlative S. third Maxi Boy (GB) (Oasis Dream {GB}).
Life In Motion, who becomes the 13th TDN Rising Star for his
sire, is followed by a yearling son of Shamardal.

"Sisfahan should make his next start in the USA," confirmed

"On his last start in Cologne he was [third] behind Alpinista

Preis von Berlin, and in Baden-Baden Sisfahan was only one
length behind Torquator Tasso, perhaps the best 2400-metre

UK RULES OF RACING CHANGES CONFIRMED
BY BHA Several changes to the British Rules of Racing were confirmed
by the British Horseracing Authority on Thursday. These
changes, which will come into effect in the coming months,
were approved by the BHA Board, following engagement with
and feedback from participants and stakeholders. The changes
are as follows:
$ All horses entered to run in a race in Britain must be signed
out of the human food chain via its passport by Jan. 1,
2022.
$ The UK=s equine influenza vaccination requirements were
updated to bring them in line with other European racing
nations.
$ The rules regarding bisphosphonates were updated to
bring them in line with other European racing nations.
For more information on these changes to the Rules of Racing,
please click here.
James Given, Director of Equine Health and Welfare for the
BHA, said, AThe sport=s Veterinary Committee made the decision
to exclude racehorses who run in Britain from the food chain in
January of this year. It was subsequently put out to consultation
with the racing industry prior to being approved by the Rules
Committee and finally by the BHA Board in September.
ABritish racing has in place a euthanasia code of practice to aid
trainers and owners with end-of-life decisions. The guidance is
clear that whenever possible, euthanasia should be performed
at home or in suitable surroundings.
AThe transporting of horses to an abattoir to be sold for
consumption should not, in my view, be classed as euthanasia
and is not an approach that we should tolerate in our sport,
which is why a rule preventing this practice is a positive step. I
am confident that most British trainers and owners agree with
me on this and already observe this principle.@

FIRST-SEASON SIRESWITH RUNNERS
CLAIMING PROCESS STREAMLINED BY HRI A streamlining of the claiming process for Irish claiming races,
to speed up post-race procedures, has been instituted by Horse
Racing Ireland and the new regulations will go into effect on
Nov. 2. Pre-authorisation on the day of the race will be required
for all potential claimants. The claimant=s contact details, the
name of the designated trainer for the horse they wish to claim,
the name of the person responsible for collecting and
transporting the claimed horse and the value of the horse they
wish to claim should be submitted to Horse Racing Ireland up to
one hour before the scheduled race time. Pre-authorisation can
be done in two ways: by completing the online pre-authorisation
form or by telephoning the client accounts department of HRI.
For more information on the new procedures, please visit the
Horse Racing Ireland website.
Jason Morris, HRI=s Director of Racing, said, AThe popularity of
claiming races continues to grow as a medium for purchasing
horses and we have seen a huge increase in the volume of
activity, with upwards of 30 claims being submitted in races on
occasions. This can lead to considerable delays in the post-race
processing and the announcement of the successful claims.
AThe changes to the regulations announced today will
streamline the process for everyone involved and will also
ensure the welfare of claimed horses as they transfer between
trainers. The time between the race being run and the
announcement of successful claims will be reduced, removing
any ambiguity of who is responsible for the welfare of the horse

in a nasty tumble when contesting Leopardstown=s Sept. 11
Listed Ingabelle S. on Irish Champions weekend, made up for
lost time with an impressive score in this fourth outing. Setting
the tone after a sharp getaway here, the 8-15 chalk lengthened
clear once shaken up at the quarter-mile marker and extended
her margin of superiority under mild coaxing inside the final
eighth to easily account for Timiyra (Fr) (Caravaggio) by five
lengths. AShe deserved it on her first two runs and is one to look
forward to next year,@ said assistant trainer Brendan Powell.
AShe is a nice, scopey filly and seems to cope with most types of
ground. She should be able to get black-type at some stage.@
Voice of Angels is the first of three surviving foals produced by a

Portland Sky winning the G1 Oakleight Plate | Widden Stud
WIDDEN STUD SECURESPORTLAND SKY
by Richard Edmunds
Already boasting nine Group 1-winning sprinters across their
two-state stallion line-up, Widden Stud has secured another
elite speedster for the 2022 breeding season.
Portland Sky, the first Group 1 winner for his outstanding sire
Deep Field, has reached the end of a brief but blistering
racetrack career and will take up stud duties at Widden next
spring.
AIt=s always a very exciting time when you secure a new
stallion, and particularly when that stallion is a Group 1-winning
sprinter,@ Widden owner and proprietor Antony Thompson told
TDN AusNZ on Thursday evening.
AThat=s been a recipe for success at Widden for a number of
years now, and Portland Sky is a horse that fits right in that
sweet spot. He=s a very exciting horse who we think will be an
outstanding addition to our roster in either the Hunter Valley or
Victoria.
AHe=s from a sire line we have the utmost respect for and is the
best colt by Northern Meteor=s top-class sire son Deep Field.
He=s a masculine, good-looking horse with elite Group 1
sprinting form.
AHe would fit very well into either of our two rosters. I think
he=d be very, very popular in the Hunter, where Deep Field has
such great popularity and a lot of breeders are always looking
for a good-looking, fast horse.
ABut, on the other hand, he=s a Victorian horse, and Victoria
was the stage for his biggest racetrack successes, so we have no
doubt that he would be very well received there as well. We will
weigh up our options and make a decision in time as to where
we think he=ll be best suited.
AWe=ll also work through his stud fee in the early part of next
year, but with Deep Field now standing for $88,000, we=re
looking forward to offering breeders access to his fastest son at
a very competitive price.@
Speedy and Impressive Career Portland Sky recorded four impressive victories in a 10-start
career, stepping up to the elite level in the second half of his
3-year-old season with a dead-heat victory in the G1 Oakleigh
Plate alongside Celebrity Queen (Redoute=s Choice), followed by
a gallant second to the super-talented Masked Crusader
(Toronado {Ire}) in the William Reid S.
APortland Sky had been on our radar from quite an early stage
in his impressive racing career,@ Thompson said. AWe=ve really
enjoyed getting to know Matt Laurie (trainer) and his team
better throughout this whole process.
AAfter he won the Oakleigh Plate earlier in the year, we were
very close to getting a deal done, but it didn=t quite work out at
that stage. The owners wanted to continue to race on and really
enjoy the experience that they were having with such a quality
racehorse.
ABut we=ve kept in close contact ever since then, and as soon
as the opportunity arose and Matt told us that the horse was
available, we were delighted to jump at the opportunity.@
Portland Sky is one of only four 3-year-old colts to win the
Oakleigh Plate in the 21st century, following on from star sires
Fastnet Rock in 2005, Snitzel in 2006 and Starspangledbanner in
2010.
AA look at the honour roll tells you it takes an exceptional
3-year-old to win the Oakleigh Plate,@ Thompson said.
AFurthermore, Portland Sky defeated Anders, Dirty Work and
Hanseatic that day, all of which have proven to be extremely
popular freshman stallions with breeders this season.@
Thompson was also highly impressed by Portland Sky=s
runner-up finish in the William Reid S. at Moonee Valley, in
which he finished 2.5l adrift of Masked Crusader but ahead of
the likes of Libertini (I Am Invincible), September Run (Exceed
And Excel), Flit (Medaglia D=Oro {USA}), Kementari (Lonhro),
Brooklyn Hustle (Starspangledbanner), Swats That (Shamus
Award) and Pippie (Written Tycoon).

AThe William Reid was a crack field and tellingly, Portland Sky
beat home fellow 3-year-olds September Run and Swats That,
who ran the quinella in the Coolmore Stud S. at Flemington
during the spring,@ Thompson said.
Portland Sky has also been a two-time winner at Group 3 level,
capturing the Red Anchor S. at Moonee Valley last October
before defeating Aysar (Deep Field) and Tagaloa (Lord Kanaloa
{Jpn}) in the Manfred S. at Caulfield in January.
AInterestingly, Widden sire Nicconi won the Manfred S. before
his G1 Galaxy win as a 3-year-old against the older division,@
Thompson said. AWe=ve found that colts with the ability to beat
open-age gallopers is a great recipe for stud success.@
A Special Horse for Laurie Laurie paid $85,000 to secure Portland Sky from the draft of
Alwyn Park Stud at the 2019 Magic Millions Perth Yearling Sale,
and he believes the star sprinter--who followed on from Escado
(Casino Prince) in the 2013 South Australian Derby to give him a
second taste of Group 1 success in his training career--has the
makings of a quality stallion.
AHe is a particularly good-looking horse, a magnificent animal
and he=s definitely got the right attitude,@ Laurie said.
AI was offered big money early days as a young horse off his
very first trial, but it wasn=t enough--it wasn=t anywhere near
enough! We had a big opinion of this horse right from the
beginning.
AAlthough there has been interest from a number of parties, I
am thrilled that Portland Sky will become resident of a stud with
Widden=s history and status as one of Australia=s most iconic
farms.
APortland Sky has been a special horse for myself, our team
and of course, his owners. Not being breeders ourselves, our
first goal was to ensure he went to a farm where he would be
given every opportunity to excel in the breeding shed.@
Widden will be offering shares and lifetime breeding rights in
Portland Sky. His fee will be announced next year.

IN TDN EUROPE TODAYSEA THE STARTS FILLY SHINES AT BOOK 1

CORNICHE PUTSSTONEHAVEN ONASCENDING ROAD
by Chris McGrath
We've all seen those old thrillers where the sports car is
twisting along a road cut into a coastal cliff, and suddenly one of
the wheels is spinning over the sea far below. Well, that's pretty
much how it feels when a commercial breeder decides to bring
home a Book 1 yearling at $385,000. In both cases, you're
putting an awful lot of trust in horsepower, admittedly in its
sleekest form, getting you back on the road. Unlike Cary Grant in
North By Northwest, however, you don't even have the excuse
that someone has first poured a bottle of bourbon down your
throat.
In the case of a Quality Road colt offered by Stonehaven
Steadings at the 2020 September Sale, on behalf of co-breeder
Bart Evans, the road was not just regained, but has opened up a
spectacular new vista.
First the team got the de Meric family behind the wheel: Nick
de Meric loved the horse, took 30%, thought he'd flourish in
their program. Eight months later, after a :10 flat breeze, the
September reject topped OBS April at $1.5 million, sold to
Speedway Stables (with the ever-sage counsel of Marette
Farrell).

ZULUETA JOINS GROWING LIST OF
PLEA-CHANGERS IN DOPING CASEBy T.D. Thornton
Marcos Zulueta, the now-barred Thoroughbred trainer facing
two felony charges in the alleged nationwide horse-doping
conspiracy case, appears on the verge of joining the growing list
of defendants flipping their initial "not guilty" pleas to "guilty."
On Thursday, Zulueta, formerly based in the mid-Atlantic
region, was granted an Oct. 15 change-of-plea hearing in United
States District Court (Southern District of New York).
If Zulueta does indeed end up pleading guilty, his flip will be
the eighth in the wide-ranging case that initially included 28
defendants listed in the original indictment from March 2020.

Corniche & his dam Wasted Tears | Aidan O'Meara
Stonehaven cont. from p1
Then, a month or so ago, even as the Stonehaven team was
preparing their next September consignment, the Quality Road
colt made his debut for Bob Baffert at Del Mar. He romped to
the crop's highest Beyer to date, an automatic 'TDN Rising Star.'
It was a timely showcase for a farm owned by Jeff and Chiquita
Reddoch, and run with the help of their daughter Leah and her
husband Aidan O'Meara. The Reddochs had made a flying start
at Stonehaven, previously part of Saxony Farm, as breeders of
2012 champion juvenile Shanghai Bobby (Harlan's Holiday). Now
here was confirmation that Stonehaven could raise a horse not
just to sell for big money, but to run for it too. That can only
have encouraged a Talla Racing and West Point Thoroughbreds
partnership when, just nine days later, they signed a very similar
docket--at $1.55 million--for a Justify colt out of True Feelings
(Latent Heat).
All parties could take heart, then, when, last week, Baffert
bumped the star graduate of the farm's previous cycle straight
into Grade I company for the American Pharoah S. For this colt,
of course, is none other than Corniche: cleverly named for
precisely those giddy coastal routes, with the elements of
engineering and water respectively suggested by Quality Road
and the 16-year-old dam Wasted Tears (Najran), who was bred,
owned and trained by Evans to win half a dozen graded stakes.
"It's been a long process, since that cold February morning
when you had a hold of his front legs pulling him out of his
mamma," reflects O'Meara. "When you've been through that
whole process, raising them on the farm, it's always a
bittersweet moment when you get back from the sale and see
their paddocks standing empty. Yes, you know they've gone into
good hands. But even bringing $1.5 million at a 2-year-old sale
gives you no guarantee of success.

Aidan & Leah O'Meara | Keeneland
Stonehaven cont.
O'Meara continued, ASo the way this horse has stood up to
every question he's been asked--first going through our
program, and then the de Merics', and then to breeze like he
did, and now to come through as the kind of racehorse he's
turning into--has just been phenomenal to see."
The problem, last September, had been drawing Hip 10 in a
sale so exposed to the unprecedented uncertainties of the
pandemic. The partners had to choose: roll with the punches, or
hold their ground and fight back?
"Obviously we're biased," Leah O'Meara accepts. "But we
thought we knew what we had. And, honestly, that ended up
giving us an opportunity out of what was potentially a pretty bad
situation. We're just so thankful that the de Merics had faith in
the horse. They did a
fantastic job with him, and
then Marette and her
clients appreciated him for
what he was. We did
everything we could, but
after that there's been a
whole group of people that
has brought him to where
he is now."
"In some ways, it was a
no-brainer," Aidan
O'Meara says. "But at the
same time, it was tough to
RNA one of your best
yearlings, at that kind of
money, when you couldn't
know what was coming
round the corner. So
seeing the whole vibe surrounding the horse, when we went
down to the sale [in Ocala], was a special moment. Anyone
who'd ever bought a serious 2-year-old was vetting him. So of
course you start to get excited, but nobody could ever have
expected him to go to the point he did."
For Corniche to vindicate both his price and his upbringing,
either side of the auction, vividly compounded the momentum
achieved by the farm at the September Sale-when in the top 10
consignors by average, and as high as third among those trading
10 or more yearlings. A gross of $5.6 million for 19 hips sold (of
20 offered) generated an average yield of $294,737.
Besides their big score, they also sold another Justify colt (out
of the Bernardini mare Venetian Sonata) in Book 1 for $600,000,
and fillies by City Of Light and Uncle Mo for $500,000 and
$425,000. And then there was the next yearling out of
Corniche's dam, a filly by Mendelssohn, a $750,000 buyout by
Evans--a cherished partner since being introduced to the farm
by manager Colby Marks.
"I said to Bart, 'You might want to think about buying this one,
because you might not get another shot at a filly,'" recalls Jeff
Reddoch. "Bart's a legendary horseman himself and has been so
great to work with. This was a fantastic filly and we're so proud
and happy that he bought her."
But the headlines went to the colt that brought Justify his first
seven-figure sale in the
U.S., despite having lurked
in Book 2.
"We had these two
beautiful Justify colts and
really it was a toss of a coin
which would go in Book 1,"
Aidan O'Meara recalls.
"But book placement is a
very important part of our
decision-making process,
and the two of them had
dams that were very close
alphabetically, T and V, so
it was conceivable that we
might have found
ourselves in the first 20
hips with our two best
colts.@
He continued, "So we were very happy to put him in Book 2. I
suppose as a little bit the bigger and stronger of the two, he just
really blossomed those last two and a half months. And he did
show like a beast out there: just this magnificent powerhouse of
a walk to him, everybody hanging onto the big beautiful
presence. And just got better and better, you could see the class
coming out more every day. You never know until you get out
there, how they're going to react, especially colts being with a
bunch of fillies. But he just thrived on the whole environment."

The O'Meara's, Marette Farrell & Nick de Meric
after Corniche sold at OBS | Jessica Martini
Stonehaven cont.
One way or another, then, the stars have certainly aligned
over Stonehaven this past month. And while the team is far too
seasoned to be tempted into any
complacency, it does feel like
something of a turning point--
even if those must be negotiated
with care when driving along a
corniche!
"It does feel like it's been a
watershed month," concedes
Aidan O'Meara. "It's been
fantastic, and obviously we're very
proud of the crew here. We do try
to do things in a particular way, so
it feels like a great validation for
our program."
And that's just what is so
interesting, whenever things come
together for one of many
operations all striving to achieve much the same ends. Because
everyone, no matter how respectful of the opposition, must
believe that they are placing a worthwhile emphasis on
something that sets them apart.
Aidan O'Meara responds: "Well, I think the foundation we're
working on here is the land, which has a tremendous history.
Four champions were raised here before we ever came on the
scene, and then we got lucky right
out of the gate with Shanghai
Bobby. And we're also trying to
blend old school horsemanship
with the best of what medicine
and technology has to offer. At
the end of the day, you're trying
to raise a racehorse. With the way
the sales environment is
nowadays, I think people tend to
get a little bit paranoid about
what might show up on x-rays.
Maybe they don't let young
horses do what they need to do,
living that rough-n-tumble life in
the paddocks. We try to do that as
much as we can. Okay, so
sometimes there might be a little
bit of price to pay on an x-ray or two. But that's one worth
paying, in the long term, if you want the reputation of a farm
that will give you the best possible opportunity of coming out
the other end with a racehorse." Cont. p6
TDN HEADLINE NEWS • PAGE 6 OF 16 • THETDN.COM FRIDAY • OCTOBER 8, 2021
Stonehaven cont.
That same priority, "run", also governs broodmare
recruitment.
"We like a filly that has shown stakes caliber on the racetrack,"
Aidan O'Meara explains. "Sometimes it won't be super obvious.
Like Venetian Sonata, she was a sneaky-good filly: didn't have
black-type, but had been right on top of the placings in stakes
races, with a huge female family backing her up."
She was recruited for $170,000 at the 2013 Keeneland January
Sale, just a few weeks after True Feelings, runner-up in the GIII
Schuylerville S. in her youth, had entered the fold for $210,000
at the November Sale.
"We'll be forgiving enough on a broodmare sire if there's
depth to the family, and if the mare had quality on the track
herself," Aidan O'Meara reasons. "And even be fairly forgiving
on physique. There's a lot of good mares out there that don't
have a particularly pretty front end on them, and we've a couple
here that might scare you in the sales ring, but they have thrown
fantastic-looking babies."
Nobody, equally, will be more heedful than Aidan O'Meara of
the sire part of the equation. For the Irishman spent 20 years as
stallion manager at Hill 'n' Dale before transferring to his in-laws'
operation in 2017.
"In some ways it's the biggest factor that comes into it, where
the sire is in his career and what he can bring to the table," he
acknowledges. "We like to use higher-end sires to help the
younger mares, but also, like everybody else, try to identify the
up-and-coming stallions. We bred to Quality Road when he was
still $35,000, and Corniche himself was bred off a $70,000 stud
fee, and that has obviously skyrocketed since."
That didn't stop the Lane's End sire being favored as the 2019
mate for Steelin' (Orientate), the dam of Shanghai Bobby.
Following the tragic loss of the mare to colic this year, their
daughter was deemed far too precious to keep her engagement
at the September Sale.
"It was very hard for us all, losing Steelin'," Aidan O'Meara
admits. "She was a sweetheart to be around, all class, and
basically the foundation mare for the farm. But she's left a huge
legacy for us through her daughters and thankfully Miz Kella, her
first to have runners, is already a stakes producer."
Of course, the loss or pensioning of mares in the initial
Stonehaven cycle does create scope to upgrade a broodmare
band that will be confined, in quantity, to a couple of dozen.
"With a small batch of mares, they've been very good at
improving their producing record," says Jeff Reddoch,
applauding his team. "And that improves what you get from the
offspring as well. We have nearly 20% stakes horses to runners
in our racehorse program." Cont. p7

Not every graduate will hit the bull's-eye, naturally, and the
Stonehaven team goes to exemplary lengths to monitor those
that do miss; and to secure their future care, whether on their
own farm or via retraining.
"We really want to see the
horses taken care of," Chiquita
reddoch insists. "So I always say
a prayer when they're on the bid
block, 'Please go to someone
who'll take good care of them.'
Because at the end of the day--
at the end of anyone's lives--it's
what we did on earth that's
important. And these are
animals, they do have feelings,
and they can't fend for
themselves."
By the same token, Leah
O'Meara is a director at TCA;
and urging friends and
associates to move the
Stonehaven team up the Hagyard "Race To Give" chart. As she
says: "We have to thank these horses, because they give us
everything we have."
So there's no mistaking this firm's grasp of the mutual
dependence of our industry, from their repeated appreciations
for their staff to their conviction that if you do the right thing by
the horse, everything else falls
into place.
Yet this kind of immersion was
never remotely in mind for the
Reddochs, during their days
running an oilfield service
business. But luckily their
horse-mad daughter chose
Midway University, Jeff and
Chiquita Reddoch started visiting
from Louisiana, and the
Bluegrass enchantment
gradually did its work.
"We bought a farm and started
learning from the bottom up,"
says Chiquita Reddoch. "I'm a
registered nurse, my husband's
an engineer, we really didn't
know much about it. But it just kind of snowballed. We didn't
plan anything.@ Cont. p8

Stonehaven cont.
Chiquita Reddoch continued, AWe worked hard, the way we
always have in all our businesses, and put our best foot forward.
And now we're just very thankful to have Leah and Aidan and
Colby and the boys on the farm, because they're doing a great
job and we're so proud and happy to be involved."
Leah O'Meara can't quite believe how things have unfolded.
She has seen so many ventures capsize in this most precarious
of industries, and yet now they can dare to sense the possibility
of a tangible legacy in the breed. Certainly the left-field pedigree
of Wasted Tears has been vindicated afresh, as in her racing
days; and Corniche looks eligible to extend her family's influence
into future generations.
"I've always said it was about little growth, little growth," Leah
O'Meara says. "And just hoping to keep some progressive
momentum. So it almost feels harder to tell my parents. 'Okay,
we'll try to do all this again!' They've been part of this business
since 2005. They've put a lot into it. So I'm just really thankful
they've stuck around, and we've had an opportunity to give
them a little payback."
Jeff Reddoch gives a laugh. "Truth is," he says, "we don't know
how to quit!" But then, more seriously, he stresses the sheer
breadth of the team effort, from farriers to feed suppliers to the
people who buy their horses. Those, increasingly, can sign their
dockets with a firmer hand. But the Reddochs raised Leah
O'Meara to that vital compromise between accepting the
unknowable workings of destiny, on the one hand, and doing
everything within your own compass, on the other.
"We know how tough this business can be," Leah O'Meara
says. "And for these things to happen in such a short time, we
know it's pie-in-the-sky. We do just feel incredibly thankful and
blessed. We're firm believers that things happen for a reason.
All we can do is try to show up every day, do our job, do our
part. And just pray that the rest happens. All this is very
fulfilling, but we won't be patting ourselves on the back. We just
want to be consistent, to keep showing up."

Zulueta cont. from p1
Although not considered a "headline" trainer like fellowdefendants Jorge Navarro (who has admitted to doping horsesand faces five years in prison when he is sentenced inDecember) or Jason Servis (who maintains he is not guilty andhas a trial date approaching in 2022), Zulueta's name surfacedfrequently in wire-tapped conversations secretly recorded byfederal investigators before they charged him with one count ofdrug adulteration and another for conspiracy to defraud usingmisbranded drugs. According to a trove of phone conversation transcripts releasedas evidence by the government in September court documents,on Apr. 3, 2019, Zulueta and Navarro allegedly discussed thetestability of a drug administered to the elite-level sprinter X YJet (Kantharos), who was trained (and admittedly doped) byNavarro. X Y Jet died suddenly eight months after that call while stillunder Navarro's care. The circumstances of the horse's deathhave never been fully explained.
In another conversation between Navarro and Zulueta from
around the same time frame, Navarro and Zulueta allegedly
discussed a performance-enhancing "drench" that Navarro
described as "a milkshake thatYwon't show up" that is to be
administered "the day of the race."
At one point, Navarro allegedly boasted, "Marcos I drenched
two today and [the creator of the substance] says you can take
their blood and nothing will come out," unlike other drenches
where "they catch you."
During another wire-tapped call, Zulueta allegedly cautions
Navarro about the dangers of winning too often with doped
horses.
"Yeah, you should be happy-happy-happy that you are not
winning all of them," Zulueta allegedly said, according to the
transcript. "Otherwise, you will be arrested."
Zulueta's words ended up being prophetic: On March 9, 2020,
both trainers, plus 26 others, were taken into federal custody in
a coordinated series of arrests.
COX PAIR HEADS ALCIBIADES DOZEN
A duo of fillies from the Brad Cox barn coming off dominant
maiden victories will attract plenty of attention from bettors in
an evenly-matched field of 12 in Friday's opening-day GI Darley
Alcibiades S. at Keeneland. The 1 1/16-mile test offers to the
winner a fees-paid birth to the GI Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies.
Breaking from the rail is Albaugh Family Stables' narrow
morning-line favorite Juju's Map (Liam's Map). Hammered down
to 7-10 debuting for Cox July 25 at Ellis, the $300,000 Keeneland
September graduate made a menacing run to the lead before
flattening out late and settling for second. Odds-on again
stretching out to a mile there Sept. 3, the bay popped out to the
front and never had an anxious moment in the lane, cruising to a
5 3/4-length score under minimal urging from Florent Geroux.

Aloha West | Sarah Andrew
Alcibiades cont.
Geroux opted to stay aboard Juju's Map instead of keeping the
call on the other half of the Cox tandem, Godolphin's Matareya
(Pioneerof the Nile). Backed to 9-5 as part of an entry debuting
over 6 1/2 furlongs Aug. 20 at Ellis, the homebred made the lead
under her own power, shook off several early challengers and
discarded her stablemate in early stretch en route to a geared-
down 4 1/2-length graduation.
A pair of fillies drawn wide appear to present the biggest
obstacles to Cox, who won the Alcibiades in 2019 with eventual
champion British Idiom (Flashback). In the 10-hole is Milam
Farm's Penny Saver (Super Saver), who owns the top Beyer
figure and Thoro-Graph number in the field for a devastating
maiden romp last out. Runner-up as the favorite on debut going
five furlongs June 18 at Churchill, the $65,000 Fasig-Tipton
October buy was fourth after a slow start stretching out on the
Saratoga turf Aug. 8. Turning a corner in the mornings to the
tune of an unheard-of five-furlong bullet on the Saratoga
training track in :58 4/5 (1/10) Sept. 4, the dark bay backed her
works up with a 9 1/2-length tour de force over this trip Sept. 24
in Louisville, earning an 85 Beyer and 6 1/2 Thoro-Graph
number.
One stall to her outside is Diamond Wow (Lookin At Lucky),
who ships north for Patrick Biancone following a pair of victories
to start her career. Unveiled over five furlongs on the
Gulfstream turf, the chestnut made the pace and edged clear in
the lane to a three-length success. Switched to dirt in the seven-
furlong off-turf Our Dear Peg S. there Sept. 18, she showed
rating ability, sitting off the pacesetter and taking over nearing
the stretch en route to a 1 3/4-length triumph. Biancone
reached out to Mike Smith to take over the reins from Romero
Maragh for this engagement.
Two other stakes winners rate outside chances in Jim
McIngvale's Runup (Runhappy), a three-length upsetter of the
Sorority S. at 14-1 Sept. 6 at Monmouth, and Miss Interpret
(Street Sense), who captured the washed-off P.G. Johnson S. for
Todd Pletcher Sept. 2 at Saratoga.
ALOHA WEST STEPS BACK INTO STAKES
WATERS IN PHOENIX
Eclipse Thoroughbred Partners' Aloha West (Hard Spun), a
troubled fourth in his only previous stakes try, will try black-type
competition again after a pair of well-graded Saratoga allowance
victories in Friday's GII Stoll Keenon Ogden Phoenix S. at
Keeneland, a Breeders' Cup Win and You're In qualifier for the
GI Breeders' Cup Sprint.
Graduating despite a slow start and early, wide move in his
belated debut Feb. 7 at Oaklawn, the 4-year-old was again
troubled at the break and ran fifth in an allowance there Mar.
13 before just missing by a nose in a local allowance Apr. 9.
Circling the field en route to an easy five-length victory May 22
at Churchill, the $160,000 Keeneland September grad was
pinched back early in the Kelly's Landing S. before rallying to get
fourth under the Twin Spires June 25. Overcoming a ground-
losing journey to gut out a Saratoga allowance/optional claiming
success Aug. 1, he backed that up with a powerful score to clear
his three-other-than condition with a career-high 102 Beyer last
out at the Spa Sept. 2.
Given a slight nod on the morning line is Special Reserve
(Midshipman), who has blossomed into an ultra-consistent
stakes sprinter since being claimed by Mike Maker. A winner
just three times in his first 15 starts for Randy Morse, the
gelding was haltered for $40,000 out of a 22-1 upset of an
Oaklawn optional claimer Feb. 6 and immediately paid dividends
when annexing a similar spot while not being offered for the tag
Mar. 13. Cont. p11

Phoenix cont.
A good second at 10-1 after setting the pace in the
GII Commonwealth S. here Apr. 3, the bay scored back-to-back
stakes successes in the GIII Maryland Sprint S. May 15 at Pimlico
and Iowa Sprint S. July 3 at Prairie Meadows before proving his
top-level bona fides when runner-up in the GI Alfred G.
Vanderbilt H. July 31 at Saratoga.
The top Beyer and Thoro-Graph figure in the race belongs to
Sir Alfred James (Munnings), who breaks from the widest seven-
post. Third in the Aristides S. at Churchill May 29, the bay ran
second in the Good Lord S. July 17 at Ellis before being dangled
for a $62,500 tag by Al Stall in a Louisville optional claimer
Sept. 24. Norman and Lola Cash bit, and were certainly glad they
did when Sir Alfred James ran away to a 5 3/4-length victory,
earning a 103 Beyer and negative-2 Thoro-Graph number.
Griffon Farms and Michelle Lovell's versatile Just Might (Justin
Phillip) looks for his fifth consecutive stakes conquest. Off the
board in the GII Shakertown S. and GII Twin Spires Turf Sprint S.
on turf this spring, the chestnut annexed the Mighty Beau S. on
the Churchill lawn and Da Hoss S. over Colonial turf before
switching to dirt and picking up tallies in the Chesapeake S. at
Colonial and Louisville Thoroughbred Society S. back at Churchill
Sept. 18.
'WHAT WE'VE GOT HERE IS FAILURE TO
COMMUNICATE'by Jude R. Florio, GrDipELR
Farrier Tales continues to pull back the curtain on all things
horse, horseshoeing, farrier, and related science, attempting to
provide useful information and insight for horse professionals
and enthusiasts.
Have you ever wondered why your farrier often seems so
grumpy? The headline, a quote from the classic movie Cool
Hand Luke, basically sums it up.
Over the course of my career, I have cultivated innumerable
friendships with a number of colleagues from various
backgrounds and nationalities. Despite our broad range of
disciplines and skill sets, many of our shared concerns and
frustrations appear consistent.
Of course, a farrier's demeanor can likely be attributable to
the demanding nature and labor intensiveness of the trade,
however, most farriers, myself included, actually enjoy the craft,
accepting the inherent risks while enduring the physical stress. I
suspect like me, many farriers--like most industry professionals--
have been bit by the horse bug early on. Farriers revel in the
success of the client's horses, knowing the important role
played, and by extension, no farrier enjoys failure, paining most
terribly upon news that a horse may be Aoff@ as a result of
something connected to a service performed.
Truth be told, my perceived grumpiness predates my years as
a farrier. It has always been my Aschtick,@ and many clients find
it very entertaining. However, there are a number of things that
can occur which may put your farrier's ABad Mood Jude@ into
overdrive.
I have highlighted the most likely (and frequent) scenarios,
excluding physical health issues and/or matters of a personal
nature (family, children) that may affect one's demeanor and
overall performance.
You Owe the Farrier Money Non-payment for services rendered is an obvious one, but is all
too common and, unfortunately, something farriers experience.
A universally shared disappointment amongst farriers, non-
payment underscores the apparent disconnect within the horse
industry. Trainers, owners and farriers should establish terms of
payment in advance of any service rendered and, as with
anything, communication is key. Guaranteeing and maintaining
verbal commitments (on both sides) is paramount, as well as
openly discussing potential payment issue(s) in advance of
future visits. I suspect any good farrier who conducts themselves
professionally, shows up on time and performs excellent work
will be much happier when leaving at the day's close with check
in hand. Cont. p12

Behavioral Issues Which Make it Difficult to Shoe All farriers are expected to understand and accept the
inherent risks that may come as a result of handling and shoeing
horses. A horse's behavior is a key component to a farrier's
ability to properly and safely carry out their job. Arguably,
shoeing is likely the most invasive thing routinely performed on
horses where an error can be career-ending or worse. The
saying Ano hoof, no horse@ underscores why owners and trainers
with expectations of a good job should not only include steps to
ensure the horse's appropriate behavior for shoeing, but also
include a concern for your farrier's well-being. Considerate and
mindful owners who properly manage horses with behavioral
issues will likely be rewarded with reductions in farrier
Acrankiness@ and gain greater appreciation for the assistance
provided.
Training Your Horse for the Farrier It is important to always disclose any and all pre-existing
known issues to your farrier beforehand, since this can prove
vital to your horse's and farrier's safety. I have personally
experienced countless occasions where critical information and
shoeing-related poor behavior have gone undisclosed. Needless
to say, these types of instances do not bring smiles to any
farrier's face.
Most farriers are willing to work with a difficult horse,
including offering up some advice and recommendations
attempting to address the issue(s). If you are a valued customer,
most farriers will happily attempt to work through solvable
problems. Excluding a rogue, where no amount of training will
work, and others with old injuries, unbreakable quirks, or
traumatic events which result in a protective response, many
horses will come around within two or three shoeings with some
work. I have the good fortune to work on a lot of nice horses
who stand like statues, so I know it is possible.
Also, having had a lot of past experience working with young
horses (foals, weanlings, yearlings, etc.), the stall is a great tool
that should be used to address farrier behavioral issues and to
attempt to work through them. The stall limits space, including
distractions and use of the wall and/or corners requires the
horse to focus on handler instructions.
Proper training for the farrier is usually a two-person job:
handlers/holders should always be active and not passive.
Nothing makes me crabbier than a handler who is texting away,
watching a video, or sitting down, while I'm getting my teeth
knocked in at the other end of Buttercup. I appreciate that
handling horses for the farrier is usually boring and uneventful,
however, it is an essential job for everyone's safety which
includes the horse and it is greatly appreciated.
Discuss a Farrier's List in Advance Most farriers tend to have a strategy in mind as it relates to
tackling a group or list of horses. I am somewhat robotic in my
practice and depending on the particular horse and what is
required, I am like clockwork. Additionally, I know how much
fuel I have in my tank and I suspect other farriers are similar.
Discussing in advance a group of horses due and seeking your
farrier's input on how they may want to address a group will go
a long way in irritable farrier alleviation.
My preference has always been to do difficult horses last,
recognizing extra time and energy may be required. Doing a
difficult horse first may deplete energy required for the rest of
the list, potentially short-changing work quality. Sensitive horses
recognize and react to frustration; a farrier that is slowed down
or jerked around at the start unfortunately sets the wrong tone
for the rest of the day.
Most farriers recognize that there are multiple factors which
may go into devising a shoeing list, however, seeking their input
would be refreshing.

Lord Nelson | Spendthrift Farm
Consider Sedation When Necessary and Possible Many years ago, I had a client with a 17.3-hand, mixed-breed
mare. The mare was occasionally very uncooperative for shoeing
and eventually dangerous. I can not say if it was behavioral,
pain-related or, most likely, a combination of both. She was
certainly aware of her size and strength, using it to her
advantage. Handling and shoeing had become a pointless
spectacle, at times dangerous for all parties involved. I had
strongly recommended that the owner consider sedation for
shoeing. To my surprise and dismay, the owner said, AI'd put the
horse down before I would sedate for shoeing!@ Since these
types of sentiments get farriers, horses, and people injured or
worse, I knew it was my time to move on.
To underscore the point, I believe sedation, when necessary
and used appropriately, is a very useful tool and not unlike other
training aids. Sedation/tranquilizers exist in many forms and
their use Atakes the edge off.@ This includes the new types of
oral gel tranquilizer, which I have occasionally used (when
necessary) with great success. The oral gel takes slightly longer
to take effect but as with most types of sedation, the horse has
an awareness and a better experience, learning acceptance and
coping with the process. In many cases sedation can be reduced
and in some instances discontinued.
Common Sense Courtesies After having considered all of the aforementioned issues, a
few other additional factors bear taking note. It is important to
provide a somewhat clean, level, well-lit (natural light being the
optimum), quiet area devoid of constant traffic (pedestrian,
horse or otherwise). When possible, schedule farrier visits when
the facility tends to be quiet (for example: landscapers,
construction, heavy equipment, and machinery operating near
or around the stabling area tend to unsettle and distract horses).
The bottom line is that quality work comes from
communication, cooperation, and safety which focuses both on
human and horse alike.
All grumbles aside, most farriers are reasonable, hard-working
individuals singularly motivated to provide the best service
possible, keeping horses comfortable, sound, and happy.
Reasonable attempts at making a farrier's life Aeasier@ will keep
them smiling.
LORD NELSON EUTHANIZED
Spendthrift Farm=s MGISW Lord Nelson (Pulpit--African Jade
by Seeking the Gold) was euthanized Thursday after a long
battle with laminitis. He was 9-years-old.
AUpon consulting with a veterinarian team consisting of Dr.
Scott Morrisson, Dr. Jim Morehead, and Dr. Caleb Harms and
our stallion manager Wayne Howard, it was determined that the
only humane course of action we had was to euthanize Lord
Nelson following his latest difficult battle with laminitis,@ said
Ned Toffey, Spendthrift's general manager. AIt=s pretty well
chronicled his long fight with the disease. After several
encouraging years, it unfortunately caught up with him and we
couldn=t allow him to suffer after we had run out of medical
options.@
He continued, AIt is a very sad day at Spendthrift. Lord Nelson
was an unbelievably courageous horse and I think he=ll always
be remembered by the entire team at Spendthrift and anyone
who ever got to be around him. Just a very special animal and
we will miss him.@
Lord Nelson won seven of his 13 starts for trainer Bob Baffert
and Spendthrift, earning $958,271. The flashy chestnut closed
his career with a trio of Grade I victories in the Triple Bend S.,
Bing Crosby S. and Santa Anita Sprint Championship S. in 2016.
He was forced to miss that year's Breeders' Cup and the 2017
breeding season with a leg infection became laminitis. Lord
Nelson's oldest foals are 2-year-olds and he currently has three
winners.

THIRD CLASS 4 DRUG COMPLAINT ISSUED
AGAINST MILLER THIS YEAR
By Dan Ross
The Peter Miller trained Mr. Dougie Fresh (Ghostzapper)
tested positive for phenylbutazone--a class 4, penalty category C
drug--after the horse worked at the San Luis Rey Downs training
center Sept. 19, according to a California Horse Racing Board
(CHRB) complaint dated Sept. 26.
Miller, who did not request a split sample in this case, is
scheduled to appear before the Santa Anita board of stewards at
an unspecified date. This is Miller=s third overage offense in 365
days.
On April 10, Miller was fined $500 after Hembree (Proud
Citizen) tested positive for Isoflupredone, a 4C penalty regulated
drug, after winning the seventh race at Santa Anita Park Jan. 1.
On Sept. 2, Miller was fined $1,500 and assessed one half
point in accordance with the CHRB=s multiple medication
violations rule as a consequence of Mo Forza (Uncle Mo) testing
positive for a phenylbutazone overage after working at San Luis
Rey Downs June 19. Mo Forza most recently won the GII City of
Hope Mile S. at Santa Anita Oct. 2.
Additionally, the Steve Knapp trained Socal Red (Lookin at
Lucky) tested positive for methocarbamol, a 4C penalty
regulated drug, after winning the 4th race at Del Mar Aug. 19,
according to a CHRB complaint dated Sept. 29.
NEW VOCATIONS LAUNCHES 12TH ANNUAL
BREEDERS' CUP PLEDGEEdited Press Release
New Vocations has launched its 12th annual Breeders' Cup
Pledge, in which connections of Breeders' Cup contenders
pledge a percentage of their Championship earnings to support
the charity's mission to rehabilitate, retrain and rehome retired
racehorses. To date, the pledge has raised over $800,000 to
support the nation's oldest and largest racehorse adoption
program.
"This event has become one of our most important annual
fundraisers," said Anna Ford, New Vocations Thoroughbred
Program Director. "Providing proper aftercare for these amazing
athletes is a must, and we have been very blessed to have so
many owners and trainers come together during these exciting
races to pledge their support for New Vocations efforts."
Despite the challenges brought on by COVID-19, last year's
pledge raised a record-breaking $150,000. Over 50
Championship contenders had owners and/or trainers who
pledged a percentage of their Breeders' Cup earnings, with
Authentic (Classic), Monomoy Girl (Distaff), Order of Australia
(Mile), Whitmore (Sprint), Gamine (Filly and Mare Sprint), Aunt
Pearl (Juvenile Fillies Turf) and Fire At Will (Juvenile Turf)
emerging victorious in their Championship races.
"In 2020, at the end of a challenging year, we were very
grateful for the generous support from our long-time and new
pledgers alike," Ford said. "We're excited to watch the pledge
flourish this year as it has in the past, and we can't wait to
welcome even more pledgers to our family as we raise the
much-needed funds that ultimately help retired Thoroughbreds
transition into new homes, careers and purposes."

grassy GIII Intercontinental S. June 3 and the off-the-turf Perfect
Sting S. July 3 and a win in Saratoga's grassy Smart N Fancy S.
going 5 1/2 furlongs Aug. 21. With career earnings of $823,497,
she is third on the list of all-time leading Indiana-breds. AShe
slipped a little at the start, so I didn=t want to rush her, but she
broke pretty good, so we were able to get near the front early,@
said winning jockey Tyler Gaffalione. AI wasn=t concerned about
the pressure because she was doing it easily and was pretty
comfortable. When I threw to her a little, she gave me
everything she had. She is just a classy horse.@ Adore You had a
colt by Uncle Mo this season and was bred back to Into Mischief.

In this continuing series, Alan Carasso takes a look ahead at
US-bred and/or conceived runners entered for the upcoming
weekend at the tracks on the Japan Racing Association circuit,
with a focus on pedigree and/or performance in the sales ring.
Here are the horses of interest for this weekend running at
Hanshin and Tokyo Racecourses. While no Group 1 racing is
scheduled for the weekend, 'TDN Rising Star' Command Line
(Jpn) (Deep Impact {Jpn}--Condo Commando) makes a much-
anticipate second trip to the races in Saturday's G2 Saudi Arabia

Unbridled's Song) was the most expensive of 29 of his sire (by
Curlin)'s first-crop weanlings (38 ring) to sell in 2019, hammering
for $250K at Keeneland November and was a $285K buyback at
last year's Fasig-Tipton Selected Sale. The March foal would go
on to fetch $410K at FTFMAR after breezing a furlong in :10 1/5.
A half-brother to SW & GISP Savings Account (Medaglia d'Oro)),
the gray is out of a SW & GSP full-sister to GISW Buddha and out
of a half to the dam of MSW Road Ready (More Than Ready)
and 2008 GI Darley Alcibiades S. runner-up Be Smart (Smarty
Jones). Wild Hoots was the top-selling short yearling at KEEJAN
in 2005 when Dell Ridge signed the winning ticket at $900K. B-
