Maryland-breds make history at 2021 Breeders’ Cup World Championships

Eclipse Thoroughbred Partners’ Alo-ha West and Korea Racing Author-

ity’s Knicks Go, the only two Mary-land-bred contenders at this year’s Breeders’ Cup World Championships, held at Del Mar Racetrack in Del Mar, Calif., made history Saturday, Nov. 6, as they each won their races to mark the first time two Maryland-breds won on the same Breeders’ Cup card.

A l o h a West, a 4-year-old son of Hard Spun bred by Robert T. Man-fuso and Katha-rine M. Voss and born at C h a n c e l a n d Farm in West F r i e n d s h i p , Md., went from allowance win-ner to Breeders’ Cup champion as he made a powerful move down the stretch to catch Dr. Schivel and win the $2,000,000 Sprint-G1 by a nose in a photo finish. Trained by Wayne Catalano, the colt was sec-ond, by a neck, behind Special Re-serve in last month’s Stoll Keenon Og-den Phoenix S-G2 at Keeneland.

“That was pretty exciting. I’ve watched every one of his races. I don’t know what they paid, but when Eclipse bought him, they were very excited,” said Voss. “I’m sorry I wasn’t there.”

The fourth foal out of Grade 3 win-ner Island Bound, a daughter of Spei-ghtstown, Aloha West was sold as a yearling for $160,000 at the 2018 Keeneland September sale. Unraced until this year, he holds a record of 5-2-0 from nine career starts with $1,311,068 in earnings. He is the sec-ond Maryland-bred Breeders’ Cup

Sprint winner, the first being Safely Kept in 1990.

Just four races later, in the Breed-ers’ Cup finale, Knicks Go secured his second career Breeders’ Cup victory as he led gate-to-wire and won the $6,000,000 Classic-G1 by two and three-quarter lengths, with Kentucky Derby-G1 winner Medina Spirit sec-ond and Belmont Stakes-G1 winner Es-

sential Quality three-quarters of a length back in third.

“The track was so fast, I just knew if he broke well it was going to work in his favor. I mean it was his biggest test yet and he obviously passed it with fly-ing colors, it was insane,” said breeder Sabrina Moore. “It was certainly surre-al, but I didn’t doubt him. I kind of knew in my gut it would be alright. It’s really wild. I just am so lucky. Being in Maryland, the next best thing you can do, especially to get a kickback for the breeders, is to be in the Breeders’ Cup and for it to work out not just once, but three times, it’s just unreal.”

The 5-year-old son of Paynter, bred by Sabrina Moore and Angie Moore

and born at GreenMount Farm in Reis-terstown, Md., became the third Mary-land-bred to win the Classic and the first in over 25 years, following Con-cern in 1994 and Cigar in 1995.

Trained by Brad Cox, Knicks Go has won 10 of his 24 starts, including last year’s Breeders’ Cup Dirt Mile-G1, and boosted his overall earnings to $8,673,135. He sits as the sec-

o n d - h i g h e s t earning Mary-land-bred in his-tory behind Ci-g a r ($9,999,815). He was also sec-ond in the 2018 Breeders’ Cup J u v e n i l e - G 1 when trained by Ben Colebrook.

F o l l ow i ng his fifth career Grade 1 victory, and third this year, Knicks Go has solidified a bid to win the Eclipse Award as Horse of the Year. He will make one final start, hoping to

defend his title in the Pegasus World Cup-G1 at Gulfstream Park (worth $3 million in 2021), which will run Satur-day, Jan. 29, before retiring and enter-ing stud at Taylor Made Farm in Nicho-lasville, Ky., for the 2022 breeding season.

The fourth foal out of Mary-land-bred Kosmo’s Buddy, a stakes-win-ning daughter of Outflanker, Knicks Go was initially sold as a weanling for $40,000 and later purchased by his current connections as a yearling for $87,000 at the 2017 Keeneland Sep-tember sale.

Knicks Go takes Breeders’ Cup Classic, secures Horse of the Year crown

Korea Racing Authority’s Knicks Go faced his toughest challenge to

date heading into the $6,000,000 Breeders’ Cup Classic-G1, as he pre-pared to stretch out for the first time at the mile and a quarter distance while taking on seven of the country’s best distance horses. But the mounting pres-sure of the test ahead never seemed to phase the Brad Cox trainee as the speedy gray led gate-to-wire to clinch victory by two and three-quarter lengths over Kentucky Derby-G1 winner Medi-na Spirit on Saturday, Nov. 6 at Del Mar. In doing so, he became the third Maryland-bred in history to win the Breeders’ Cup Classic, joining back-to-back winners Concern and Cigar in 1994 and 1995.

Sent off as the 3-1 second choice, Knicks Go brushed with his stablemate – Belmont Stakes-G1 winner and 2-1 Classic favorite Essential Quality – out of the gate then sprinted to a clear lead under Joel Rosario while saving ground along the rail through fractions of :23.16, :45.77 and 1:10.04. Around the far turn, with Art Collector pressing from behind, Medina Spirit coming up the outside and Hot Rod Charlie going to the inside, Knicks Go drifted out to the four-path and accelerated for home. Fending off all challengers he crossed the line in 1:59.57, a few ticks off the 1:59.11 track record set by Candy Ride (Arg) in August 2003.

“He ran a tremendous race,” said Cox. “Obviously, the race went really well. He broke, was able to establish position early. Once he was able to do that, he’s a hard horse to catch. I’m very proud of him.”

The 5-year-old son of Paynter be-came only the sixth horse to win two different Breeders’ Cup races (having taken the Dirt Mile in 2020). Notching his fourth straight victory, and fifth graded stakes of the year in seven starts (three Grade 1) Knicks Go si-lenced any Horse of the Year debate as he has almost certainly solidified his bid for the honor.

“The track was so fast, I just knew if he broke well it was going to work in his favor. I mean it was his biggest test yet and he obviously passed it with fly-ing colors, it was insane. It was certain-ly surreal, but I didn’t doubt him, I kind of knew in my gut it would be alright,” said Sabrina Moore. “It’s really wild. I just am so lucky. Being in Maryland, the next best thing you can do, espe-cially to get a kickback for the breed-ers, is to be in the Breeders’ Cup and for it to work out not just once, but three times, it’s just unreal.”

History was made on Breeders’ Cup Saturday as Knicks Go’s Classic victory and Eclipse Thoroughbred Part-ners’ Aloha West’s electrifying score in the $2,000,000 Sprint-G1 signified the first time two Maryland-breds won on the same Breeders’ Cup card. Alo-ha West, a 4-year-old son of Hard Spun out of Island Bound, was bred by Katharine Voss and the late Robert T. Manfuso.

In three trips to the Breeders’ Cup, Knicks Go has two wins and a second. In 2018, after upsetting the Breeders’ Futurity-G1 by five and a half lengths at 70-1, he earned an automatic berth

into the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile-G1 at Churchill Downs and led into deep stretch until passed by favorite Game Winner. In last year’s Breeders’ Cup Dirt Mile-G1 at Keeneland he led gate-to-wire while setting a track record 1:33.85.

Now a five-time Grade 1 winner, Knicks Go has improved his overall re-cord to 10-3-1 from 24 career starts. His $8,673,135 in earnings ranks him as the second-richest Maryland-bred in history behind Cigar ($9,999,815).

Kicking off his 2021 season in the $3 million Pegasus World Cup Invita-tional-G1, which he won as the favorite by two and three-quarter lengths in Jan-uary at Gulfstream Park, Knicks Go re-corded additional stakes victories in the Prairie Meadows Cornhusker Handicap-G3 (by 10 1/4 lengths in July); Saratoga’s Whitney-G1 (by four and a half lengths over Maxfield in Au-gust); and the Lukas Classic-G3 (by four lengths in October) at Churchill Downs – all at a mile and an eighth.

Bred by Sabrina Moore and Angie Moore, Knicks Go was consigned as a weanling to the 2016 Keeneland No-vember sale and sold for $40,000 to

4

Northface Bloodstock. The fol-lowing September, he returned to Keeneland for the September yearling sale and purchased by the Korea Racing Authority for $87,000.

Knicks Go started his career with trainer Ben Colebrook at El-lis Park with a debut win on July 4, 2018. He was transferred to the Cox barn in early 2020 after a winless 3-year-old season (his best finish in eight starts that year was a second in the Ellis Park Derby). Since moving to Cox’s string, he has won eight of 10 starts and earned $7,932,580 (an average per start of $793,258).

Knicks Go is one of six Maryland-breds produced by Kosmo’s Buddy, a stakes-win-ning Maryland-bred daughter of Outflanker out of the stakes-placed Al-

len’s Prospect mare Vaulted. The dam of four winners from five starters, Kos-

mo’s Buddy was a $195,000 RNA while not in foal at the 2018 Fasig-Tipton Kentucky fall mixed sale before being pur-chased by Park for a client. She was later sold to Sallusto and Albina for Newnanner Stud Farm in Versailles, Ky., where she now resides. Her most re-cent foals are fillies by Justify (2020) and Ghostzapper (2021), and she was bred to Un-cle Mo for 2022.

The Moores still own Knicks Go’s half-sister Pinkprint (by Not For Love), and sold her yearling Tiznow filly on Oct. 4 at the Fasig-Tipton Midlantic Fall sale for $150,000.

Aloha West rallies for thrilling Breeders’ Cup Sprint-G1 victory

Eclipse Thoroughbred Partners’ late-running Aloha West delivered

an epic performance in getting his first stakes win in the $2,000,000 Breed-ers’ Cup Sprint-G1 at Del Mar on Satur-day, Nov. 6. The 4-year-old son of Hard Spun surged down the stretch and caught Dr. Schivel at the wire to prevail by the slimmest of noses on the world’s biggest stage.

Coming in off a second-place fin-ish in his graded stakes debut last month, the Stoll Keenon Ogden Phoe-nix Stakes-G2 (a Breeders’ Cup “Win and You’re In” challenge race) in which his rally fell a neck short of Special Re-serve, Aloha West went off as the 11-1 fourth-choice on championship day. Getting shuffled back at the start, he remained near the back of the nine-horse field as 1-5 favorite Jackie’s War-rior led through an opening quar-ter-mile in :21.91. Finding a place in mid-pack just off the rail as they raced down the backstretch, jockey Joel Rosa-rio shifted Aloha West out rounding the

far turn, after a half-mile in :44.11, and began to move up turning into the stretch. Jackie’s Warrior, pushed by Special Reserve early, was fading in the final furlong as Dr. Schivel took over, but Aloha West was running fast-est of all. Making up four lengths, he hit

the wire for the photo in a final time of 1:08.49 for the six furlongs.

“[Trainer] Wayne [Catalano] just did an amazing job developing this colt,” said Aron Wellman, founder and president of the Eclipse Thoroughbred Partners. “He only raced for the first

5

time in February of this year when he was 4 years old, and (nine) months lat-er he is the Breeders’ Cup Sprint cham-pion. That requires mastery of horse-manship to be able to achieve something so monumental.”

Bred by Robert T. Manfuso and Katharine M. Voss, Aloha West was sold as a yearling at the 2018 Keene-land September sale for $160,000 to agent Ben Glass. He launched his ca-reer for owners Gary and Mary West over a muddy sealed Oaklawn Park this past February, a six-furlong maiden special weight which he won by three-quarters of a length over eventual graded stakes-winning sprinter Mighty Mischief.

Aloha West’s next three starts were in allowance company over the next three months. After a fifth-place finish in March at Oaklawn going six fur-longs, in which he was pinched back dramatically at the start, spotting the field a couple of lengths, Eclipse pur-chased the colt privately and left him

with Catalano. Next out for his new owners he charged home to finish sec-ond by a nose going six and a half furlongs at Keeneland in April. Six weeks later, Aloha West won by five at Churchill Downs, completing seven fur-longs in 1:21.84.

Continuing up the ladder, he made his stakes debut in June in Churchill Downs’ Kelly’s Landing Overnight Stakes and finished fourth after another eventful trip, but ahead of stakes win-ners Art Collector, Bourbon Calling, Long Range Toddy and Relentless Dancer. Back-to-back allowance victo-ries at Saratoga followed: in August, he won by a nose, getting six furlongs in 1:09.77; in September, he won by two and three-quarter lengths in a final time of 1:21.63 for seven furlongs.

Aloha West is the newest Mary-land-bred millionaire, having earned $1,311,068 from nine starts this year. He became the sixth Maryland-bred to win a Breeders’ Cup race, and the sec-ond to take the Sprint, joining 1990

winner Safely Kept. Other Breeders’ Cup champions are Classic and Dirt Mile winner Knicks Go, Classic win-ners Cigar (1995) and Concern (1994), and Juvenile Fillies Turf winner Sharing (2019).

Aloha West is one of four winners from five starters for Island Bound, a Grade 2-winning daughter of Speight-stown campaigned by Manfuso and trained at the end of her career by Voss. Island Bound’s other runner this year is undefeated 3-year-old filly Mo-quist (by Nyquist), who won for the fourth time at Laurel Park on Oct. 29 for owner Mopo Racing and trainer Dale Capuano, who purchased her for $50,000 at the Fasig-Tipton Midlantic yearling sale. Island Bound’s Good Sa-maritan yearling filly was a $47,000 RNA at this year’s Fasig-Tipton Midlan-tic sale and is still owned by Voss. After delivering a Divining Rod filly in April, the mare is now in foal to Golden Lad.

Voss Celebrates Aloha West’s Breeders’ Cup Sprint G1 Victory

Originally published by Maryland Jockey Club on Nov. 7

Katy Voss watched this year’s Breed-ers’ Cup World Championships

with great interest. The breeder, owner and Laurel Park-based trainer was cheering on her younger sister, Eliza-beth Merryman, who bred and co-owns Turf Sprint (G1) con-tender Caravel.

Voss also had a rooting in-terest in seeing Max Player do well in the $6 million Classic (G1), having bred the colt’s dam, stakes winner Fools in Love, with her late life partner, Bob Manfuso, who passed away in March 2020.

But much of Voss’ attention was focused on Aloha West, a 4-year-old son of Hard Spun that she and Manfuso bred and who went into the Sprint (G1) with relative anonymity.

“Well, I had certainly heard of him,” Voss said. “I had been following him, and praying.”

Purchased privately by Eclipse Thoroughbred Partners following two starts for Gary and Mary West, Aloha West rallied for his first career stakes

victory with an 11-1 upset in the six-fur-long Sprint, beating Dr. Schivel by a nose on the wire.

“That was pretty exciting,” Voss said. “I’ve watched every one of his races. I don’t know what they paid, but when Eclipse bought him they were

very excited.”Aloha West is out of the

Speightstown mare Island Bound, a member of the brood-mare band at 191-acre Chanceland Farm in West Friendship, Md. that was estab-lished by Voss and Manfuso in 1987. Island Bound was owned by Manfuso and made the final three starts of her racing career for Voss at Laurel after going 5-for-24 with trainer Ian Wilkes including a win in the 2012 Winning Colors (G3).

Hard Spun, who ran third in the 2007 Preakness Stakes

6

(G1) and went on to become a Grade 1-winning sprinter, stands at Darley’s Jonabell Farm in Lexington, Ky. Aloha West was foaled April 16, 2017.

“I give Bob the credit for that. He always had a great relationship with Darley, and we bred several other mares to Hard Spun so we had been a supporter of Hard Spun from the get-go,” Voss said. “They had sent him to Japan and he had just come back when we sent [Island Bound] down there. We’d always liked Hard Spun. In fact, I just bred Parlay to Hard Spun this year.”

Aloha West went unraced at both 2 and 3, making his debut Feb. 7 at Oaklawn Park for trainer Wayne Cata-lano, winning the six-furlong maiden special weight by three-quarters of a length over a muddy track.

“I was wondering what happened to him, because he never showed up until last winter as a 4-year-old,” Voss said. “First time out he kind of broke slow, trailed the field and then circled the field and just won going away. That was exciting.”

Aloha West was brought along pa-tiently by the connections, progressing through his conditions that included back-to-back optional claiming allow-ance victories over the summer at Sara-toga. He was beaten a neck in the Phoenix (G2) Oct. 8 at Keeneland in his Sprint prep.

“After Saratoga, they were going in the Ack Ack, which seemed like a natural for him to go a mile off of his two [sprint] races at Saratoga. The Ack Ack was the Saturday before the year-ling sale, so I was counting on him get-ting some black type because I was selling his sister. Then they scratched and went in the Phoenix. It was a ‘Win and You’re In’ and they were going three-quarters instead of a mile. I sus-pected Life is Good is probably why, and they figured they had a better shot in the Sprint.”

Aloha West got shuffled back at the start and chased the pace racing three wide behind favored Jackie’s Warrior. Tipped out in the stretch by jockey Jose Ortiz, he came with a

steady run to catch Dr. Schivel in the final jump.

It was another success story for the Voss-Manfuso partnership, also respon-sible for breeding such stakes winners as 2016 Kentucky Oaks (G1) heroine Cathryn Sophia, four-time grad-ed-stakes winner International Star and multiple stakes winners Cordmaker and Las Setas.

“It’s awesome,” Voss said. “I’m sor-ry I wasn’t there.”

Max Player, trained by Hall of Famer Steve Asmussen, ran last in the Classic behind Knicks Go, the likely 2021 Horse of the Year that was bred in Maryland by Angie and Samantha Moore.

“Maryland was very well-repre-sented,” Voss said. “Nobody was go-ing to beat Knicks Go. They kept talking about how Max Player developed a better style of running, and I just felt like they were all chasing. He was wide on the first turn and he was digging and trying. I’ve got two half-sisters to his dam, so I’m not complaining.”

Six-Figure Maryland-breds at star-studded Fasig-Tipton November sale

Coming off of a historic weekend for Maryland-breds at the 2021

Breeders’ Cup World Championships at Del Mar, the streak of success contin-ued as graded stakes winner Project Whiskey led the group of four Mary-land-breds sold for six-figures at the elite Fasig-Tipton November Sale on Tuesday, Nov. 9 in Lexington, Ky.

Project Whiskey, a 4-year-old daughter of Tapizar, topped the Mary-land-bred offerings when sold in foal to Nyquist for $400,000 to Woodford Thoroughbreds. Out of Over the Moon (by Malibu Moon), a winning half-sister to graded winner and sire Ready’s Im-age, Project Whiskey raced for Cash is King LLC and LC Racing LLC through two seasons, six on-the-board finishes in 11 starts, and earnings of $306,080. Her victories included the Parx Juvenile Fillies Stakes at 2 and the Grade 3 Del-aware Oaks last year, and she also finished second in the Monmouth Oaks-G3. Purchased by Chuck Zacney for $35,000 as a yearling out of the 2018 Fasig-Tipton Midlantic Eastern Fall yearling sale from the consignment of her breeder, David and JoAnn Hayden’s Dark Hollow Farm, she sold through the Taylor Made Sales Agency consignment while carrying her first foal.

A weanling daughter of Uncle Mo, consigned by Scott Mallory, Agent III, was purchased by Glen Hill Farm for $400,000. Bred by 2500 Determined Stud, she is the first foal out of Knarsdale, a stakes-placed daughter of Medaglia d’Oro who was purchased by Determined Stud for $430,000 at last year’s Keeneland No-vember sale.

Stormy Atlantic’s 11-year-old daughter Stormkeeper, in foal to Gun Runner, was pur-chased by Champion

Equine LLC for $280,000 from the con-signment of Ramsey Farm, agent. Bred by Dark Hollow Farm, Mr. and Mrs. Dorsey Brown and Arnold Davidov out of stakes winner Touchnow (by Pleas-ant Tap), Stormkeeper was a $100,000 sales juvenile who placed twice in three starts before retiring. Her first two foals are winners and include 2020 Canadian champion female sprinter Artie’s Princess.

The final six-figure Maryland-bred was a weanling colt by Midshipman,

consigned by Ballysax Bloodstock, Agent I, and purchased by Rexy Blood-stock for $145,000. Bred by Barlar LLC, he is the 12th foal out of Di’s De-light, a stakes-placed daughter of French Deputy who is also the dam of Grade 1 winner Mirth (sold at last year’s November sale for $1,050,000), 2021 graded stakes winner Vault, and stakes-placed juvenile Heat Dome.

Three other Maryland-breds went through the ring but failed to meet their reserves: a weanling filly by Into Mis-

chief and weanling colt by City of Light, both $285,000 RNAs con-signed by Scott Mallo-ry, Agent III, and stakes winner Naughty Thoughts ($190,000 RNA), in foal to Ghostzapper, who was consigned by Green-Mount Farm.
