This is the time of year when industries reflect on the past year’s events in order to assist them in formulating their future strategy.

In this regard, British racing and breeding is no different from any other industry. So what happened last year that might offer a glimmer of hope for 2012?

there were two standout events, one following closely after the other, from which we might draw some comfort and which in part may explain the buoyancy enjoyed by the bloodstock industry last year: first, the Leaders in Racing seminar held last October and, second, the Westminster Hall debate on racing’s funding the following month.

That debate was preceded by over 30 MPs from across the political spectrum who wrote collectively to John Penrose MP, the Minister for tourism and heritage urging him to replace the Levy with a more appropriate method of funding for British racing based on a new legal framework to underpin a commercial relationship between the racing and betting industries.

In October, amidst the movers and shakers from the worlds of football, digital sports and sponsorship, the Leaders in Racing gathered at stamford Bridge, the home of Chelsea FC, to consider and discuss the state of the global racing industry. The seminars offered a glimmer of hope for British racing and, by extension, breeding.

So what form did this hope take and what truths might British racing have to face up to?

First, it was encouraging to see from the number of delegates present, just how many businesses are dependent upon horseracing, businesses which included media and broadcasters, advertising agencies, technology companies as well as bookmakers,

all of whom by their presence evidenced the importance of racing to them. Seemingly, all are wanting to will the industry on to better times.

Contrary to what is sometimes perceived, racing is far from friendless and enjoys greater support than perhaps it recognises – even the bookmakers freely acknowledge racing’s attractiveness to them as a core product essential for cross-selling other forms of gambling.

Racing needs to change the perception of who goes racing, while also broadening its appeal to the younger generation and to communities from all walks of life. Increasing racing’s appeal is a truly global challenge requiring racing to be rebranded as a global sport in which British racing must play a pivotal part, especially as it offers active participation through the ownership of horses, unlike most other worldwide sports which are esssentially passive in nature.

it was reassuring to learn that, following the sale of the tote to Fred Done the bookmaker, Penrose confirmed at the seminar and again later during the aforementioned debate at Westminster Hall, the coalition government’s recognition of racing’s importance to the British economy, which currently contributes approximately £3 billion.

Racing is the second-largest employer in sport with over 100,000 individuals employed, as well as being part of our national heritage. Few countries around the world can match British racing with its wide variety of racecourses and racing, and it is surprising to many to learn that the Grand National attracts a greater TV audience than the FA Cup Final – a statistic that is infrequently released.

The Minister accepted that the current

Levy, being based on betting turnover and somewhat over-estimated by him earlier in the year, is “frayed around the edges” and no longer fit for purpose. The Levy, he opined, is a design fault in racing’s funding and a recipe for creating the friction it does between the betting and racing industries with the predictable effects of impeding the symbiotic relationship the two should be striving to achieve.

Such recognition, together with the need to remedy “off shoring” and ensure the betting exchanges contribute on a proper footing, was welcome news.

The timing for effecting any changes requiring primary legislation might not be as immediate as racing would wish, but during the Westminster debate it was suggested that changes could be made swiftly by incorporating into a Finance Bill provisions changing the designation of the location of a bet from where the bookmaker is based to where the punter is located, thereby turning what is currently legitimate tax avoidance into tax evasion.

Further, the minister remarked that regulatory changes protecting consumers is a priority for this government and that bookmakers offering gambling services to punters based in Britain may be required to hold a British Gambling Commission licence.

This would neatly franchise all those firms

within the British regulatory system which in turn would afford consumers protection and provide the Treasury with fiscal opportunities.

The introduction of a new legal framework is necessary to underpin a sustainable commercial relationship between the industries and to ensure a level playing field in all commercial negotiations.

Legislation will ensure certainty as negotiations without the leverage it provides are likely to see a repeat of the past requiring the intervention of the Secretary of State, which the government is so minded to avoid. Mutually beneficial, legally enforceable commercial agreements between the industries made possible by legislation will ensure a market-based return for both. Encouragingly too, the Association of British Bookmakers (ABB) have accepted that media rights payments cannot be linked directly with the Levy and need to be considered as separate negotiations.

PeaCe at Last? Maybe, but it will be some time before the government finally reveals its hand, but their public pronouncements and current consultations must be viewed

with some encouragement, notwithstanding their tendency to hide behind State aid and competition rules, which do not seem to concern other members of the EU quite as much.

It is unlikely however that the law will be changed to allow betting in licensed premises as permitted in US, France and Australia (perhaps providing just too much competition for the betting offices) notwithstanding the ease with which this can currently be effected on laptops, mobile phones and devices.

Nor is it likely that racecourses will be permitted to operate slot machines on race days as in US, which would also provide a useful source of supplementary income for the sport.

So what issues must racing face up to and acknowledge and how can the industry help itself?

First, if racing wants the bookmakers’ money, it must provide them with more of the product they seek. That does not include five-runner condition races, but larger and more competitive fields.

This may well be at odds with the current product-driven supply, which the pattern system and fixture list is designed to cater for, but uncompetitive racing is no good to

bookmakers and no good for the funding of racing. Racing must accept that its share of the betting market is flat-lining globally and that younger audiences prefer to gamble on sports that are easier to understand being more conducive to technology. Racing’s current ageing gamblers desperately need replacing if the sport is to rely on betting for its funding.

suggestions from the various seminar delegates from around the world based on their own experiences to improve the sport’s appeal all had an element of self help about them, which British racing could easily embrace.

To enhance its attractiveness, racing needs to make more use of the media who constantly crave stories of interest, especially those involving heroic feats as so plainly evidenced by the star billing of the likes of Kauto Star, Desert Orchid and Red Rum.

Research has shown that racegoers like to become engaged in following particular horses and Flat racing would greatly enhance its ability to foster heroes and heroines, if only the heroes were to race beyond the age of three. Witness the following and heroine

status accorded to Goldikova and even the recent coverage relating to the whip provided media exposure, albeit of the wrong sort, evidencing the interest in the sport’s welfare.

The structure of racing might be made easier to understand and the language demystified; try explaining to a first-time racegoer why a number on the horse’s saddle cloth is not the same as the number of stall the horse races from.

Aside from the promotion of stars and big events, racecourses need to provide more theatre on race days and racing’s protagonists could do more to promote the sport on terrestrial and satellite TV. Racing has a good story to tell, but it needs to be told better.

As the commercial drivers of the sport, racecourse owners, who might be persuaded to share rather more generously their increased revenues from viewing rights, must recognise that they are competing with other entertainment industries for the leisure market spend and up their game as customer experience often does not match expectation.

At the very least they must attain ROA gold standard accreditation and, as experienced in Singapore, they could engage more with the racegoers by managing their expectations prior to their day’s racing and even to exceed them on the day itself.

The Levy Board’s majority acceptance of Bookmakers Committee’s recommendations for the 51st Levy surely bodes well for the building of relationships between the parties responsible for funding and running British Racing so vital to its future prosperity.

all in all with the minister’s words and the seeming coming together of the factions within the industry that are responsible for its funding, there is every hope that British Racing will move out of its current doldrums, but considerable effort will be required by all its participants and maybe some compromises will need to be made.

Racing must accept that its share of the betting market is flat-lining globally and that younger audiences prefer to

Racing needs to big up its heroes as much as it can


Pletcher leading US trainer in 2011


the news

As in 2010, Todd Pletcher tops the US trainers’ table ahead of Steve Asmussen

THE US TRAINERS’, jockeys’ and owners’ titles of 2011 ended up as a straight repeat of 2010 with all three category

winners successful for the second year in succession.

Todd Pletcher won the trainers’ title, while Ramon Dominguez and Midwest Thoroughbreds picked up the jockeys’ and owners’ title.

Pletcher regained the leading trainers’ spot in 2010 after a two-year absence from the top having been leading trainer from 2004-2007.

In 2011, he sent out the winners of 254 races from 1,016 starts for earnings of $17,186,956. His highest earner of the year was stay thirsty, winner of the Travers Stakes (G1) in August and the Jim Dandy Stakes in July.

It is the lowest figure for prize-money earnings for the leading trainer since 2004, the first year that Pletcher won the title. In 2010, Pletcher won the title with earnings of $23,157,098.

Pletcher is third in the all-time leading trainers’ list by earnings behind D. Wayne Lukas and Bobby Frankel.

The 2011 runner-up, as in 2010, was Steve Asmussen, who trained the winners of 348 races from 1,681 starts for earnings of $16,287,685.

Bob Baffert, Bill Mott, Graham Motion, Jerry Hollendorfer, Mark Casse, Dale Romans, John Sadler and Mike Maker completed the list of top 10 trainers.

Jockey Dominguez’s big race wins through 2011 included victory in the Breeders’ Cup

Juvenile (G1) on Hansen, the Flower Bowl Invitational (G1) on Stacelita and the Shadwell Turf Mile (G1) on Gio Ponti.

In total, the jockey won 348 races from 1,424 rides for prize-money earnings of $20,264,822.

Second-placed was John Velazquez with 248 winners from 1,223 rides with earnings of $18,622,964. He also finished second in 2010.

Rounding out the top 10 on the jockeys’ list were Javier Castellano, Joel Rosario, Rafael Bejarano, Julien Leparoux, Luis Contreras, Garrett Gomez, Jose Lezcano and Patrick Husbands.

Richard and Karen Papieso’s Midwest Thoroughbreds led the owners’ list by races won for a second year in a row with 418 race victories from 1,423 starters with earnings of $6,307,278.

Runner-up was Kenneth and

Sarah Ramsey with 114 race wins from 490 starts and prize-money of $4,890,581.

the leading horse on earnings was the Breeders’ Cup Classic winner Drosselmeyer, who won over $2,900,000 in prize-money.

With the majority of that picked up in the Classic, Drosselmeyer finished $1 million clear of the second-placed Preakness Stakes winner, Shackleford.

Todd Pletcher: the US leading trainer of 2011, is third on the all-time US leading trainers’ list by prize-money earnings

Huge crowds greeted Kauto Star with enthusiasm as he jumped the last fence in the King George VI on Boxing

Day.Sadly, there is never the same

atmosphere at the track’s winter all-weather meetings, whose total winter attendance would just about match Boxing Day’s. The course itself is fi ne and within good reach of many yards and trainers, while there is also an on-site station.

Brian Cliff ord, director of racing, does a great job at Kempton and is very trainer friendly, though they could give some best turned-out awards in the dreary winter months. More people go to the track’s weekly Thursday or antiques markets than turn up for an evening at the races.

The surface is well cared for and it is good to have a right-handed all-weather track.

Southwell is well-laid out and friendly but has a less satisfactory surface, Wolverhampton is, sadly, not very glamorous; Lingfi eld does

at least have both grass and artifi cial surfaces, though the latter is rather angular in shape.

Arena Leisure, Lingfi eld’s owner, has seven courses, three of them all-weather and is in the throes of a take-over bid from Northern Racing. If successful it will give control of 17 courses to the two Reuben brothers, David and Simon, who have a large property empire but, seemingly, no personal ownership of horses.

Their most public face is as major shareholders in Travelodge Hotels and the Wellington Pub Company. The Northern Racing acquisition is dependant on agreeing a buy-out with Trevor Hemmings, who is also a major racehorse owner. The Reubens are shrewd investors, but it is questionable how good a friend to racing they will be.

The one area they may be able to help out, if their bid is successful, is Arena’s irrational policy on the use of laptops.

David Reuben is a technophile and would hopefully adopt a common-sense policy on using modern methods of

communication. Recently, an Australian friend paid her fi rst visit to Lingfi eld in January with Andrew Balding and hoped to catch up on

some personal work on her laptop before going on to Kempton.

She was told, rather brusquely, that she could not use it in the owner/trainers’ bar.

At Kempton there were no such issues. I later emailed Lingfi eld’s clerk of the course Neil Mackenzie Ross and got a rapid response from Kate Hills, PR director at Arena, quoting the completely ludicrous policy.

Apparently iphones and similar devices are allowed, but not laptops because of the fee-paying users who bet in running. Presumably this rule means that trainers cannot sit down with their ipads and go through the form of their future runners over a cup of coff ee.

My friend will not be returning to Lingfi eld and she did not even get a copied apology.

Modern methods of communication are certainly the rage at the moment. I get besieged by Linkedin invitations, which I fi nd increasingly irritating, and the fi nal nail was the recent case in which an HR executive was dismissed for ticking the Linkedin box saying

ALate addition to the new stallion ranks in the US has been announced with the news that Winchester

has been retired from racing.

Stud plans have still to be decided.A four-time Grade 1 winner on

the US turf, Winchester began his career with Dermot Weld before being transferred to be trained in the US.

With only one win in maiden company to his name, and having fi nished seventh in the Irish Derby on his last start in Europe, the Bertram Firestone-homebred fi nished fi rst in the Grade 1 Secretariat Stakes at Arlington in 2008 on his US debut, a race he won by more than 7l.

After moving to Christophe Clement at four, he developed into one of the country’s leading turf performers as a fi ve-year-old, taking his Grade 1 tally to four with victories in the Manhattan Handicap and Joe Hirsch Turf Classic and the Sword Dancer Invitational Stakes at six last year.

Winchester is by Theatrical and out of the Group 3 Ballycorus Stakes winner Rum Charger.

THE fi rst foal by a new European sire has already appeared – the

champion three-year-old miler Rip Van Winkle has produced a bay fi lly out of Miss Khaya, a daughter of Danehill Dancer.

Bred by Lady Laidlaw of Rothiemany, the fi lly is the second foal produced by her dam, who produced a yearling colt in 2010 by Coolmore sire Montjeu.

Coolmore manager eddie Fitzpatrick said: “We couldn’t be happier with Rip Van Winkle’s fi rst foal, she is full of quality and overall a lovely, correct individual.”

“the news


he was interested in “career opportunities”.

Novices should be wary of both email and facebook. The “reply to all” button can be a huge mistake if the message is intensely personal, or derogatory. My brother-in-law, Ian Balding, is a new laptop convert and we are eagerly awaiting his first “reply to all”.

Facebook can be another method of embarrassment as posting messages on one’s wall can be all too revealing. Criticism of one’s work colleagues and young user’s boasts of varied kinds can also land the writer in hot water.

Twitter is one of the latest fads to hit the headlines. Eight of the top ten twitter users are women, headed by Lady Gaga. Justin Bieber and Barack Obama are the only two men in the top users’ list.

Twitter is very immediate and the limits on the size of the message leave little room for nuance and footnotes. It is very addictive and subject to the mood of the poster.

Diane Abbott recently got in deep water with ill advised comment, and then, just 24 hours later, Ed Miliband made a typo associating the late Bob Holness with “Blackbusters” instead of Blockbusters.

The US politician Anthony

Weiner made the mistake of sexting on Twitter, posting a photo of his underpant-clad crotch.

His partner is expecting their first child and he was a prospective candidate for the Mayor of New York until he had to resign from congress in June.

Twittering has become hugely popular in racing and the personalities who have caught the bug include AP, Hayley Turner, Paul Nicholls, Ralph Beckett, Jamie Millman and Richard Hughes.

Some use a ghost-writer to post the comments but, as Simon Holt discovered the other day, that can be dangerous. Commentator Jason Hall, who was tweeting on behalf of Holt at Plumpton racecourse, posted: “Oh and by the way, I want your hot body tonight babe. xxxxx”.

The message was meant for his own wife, who was out shopping, but it ended up on the on Plumpton’s race-day page.

I gather Simon was not over impressed, is not married and does not lust after Cameron Diaz, as Jason tried to weasel out of it with a further posting.

Hopefully, my next offering will be penned from Down Under as I am on my way to the Australia and New Zealand sales via Hong Kong.

GRADE 1 winner Bandini has been purchased to stand at a new farm near to Riyadh in saudi arabia and owned by shawahed Corporation.

The nine-year-old son of Fusaichi Pegasus will be the farm’s first stallion. The deal was negotiated by Will Barrons Bloodstock.

Bandini, who stood at John T.L. Jones III’s Walmac Farm, near Lexington, was 19th on the 2011 US second-season sires’ table by progeny earnings. His 16 juvenile winners of 2011 include stakes winners Defy Gravity and Midnight Serenade.

Bandini is out of the stakes-placed Dixieland Band mare Divine Dixie, who is a half-sister to successful sire Stormy Atlantic.

As a racehorse, Bandini won the Toyota Blue Grass Stakes (G1) at Keeneland and the Skip Away Handicap (G3) at Gulfstream Park. He earned $676,380.

Barrons purchased nine mares at the Keeneland November Breeding Stock Sale for the new venture, including Grade 1 winner Tweedside and Grade 2 winner All American Bertie.

Bering put down at Haras du Quesnay BERING, winner of the 1m4f Prix du Jockey Club in a course record time and the runner-up to Dancing Brave in the 1986 Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe (G1), was put down on December 16 at the Head family’s Haras du Quesnay in Normandy, France, after suffering from lymphangitis.

Bred in Britain by Alec Head, owned by his wife Ghislaine and trained by head’s daughter Criquette, Bering also won the Prix Noailles (G2) and Prix Hocquart (G2). He was trained by the head’s daughter, Criquette.

Bering was retired after the Arc with a record of five wins from seven starts and earnings of $544,192.

He entered stud at Walmac International, near Lexington in Kentucky for $75,000 and stood at the farm until he was repatriated to Haras du Quesnay following the 1992 breeding season. He retired from stud duty in the 2009.

Bering is the sire of 77 stakes winners. His leading performers include three Guineas winners – Pennekamp, who won the 2,000 Guineas, the 2004 Poule d’Essai des Poulains (G1) victor and current Haras d’Etreham sire American Post, and Matiara, winner of the 1995 Poule d’Essai des Pouliches (G1). She also finished second in the Prix de Diane (G1) and in the US won the Ramona Handicap (G1) at Del Mar.

As a broodmare sire, Bering is represented by such champions as King George and Queen Elizabeth Stakes (G1) winner harbinger.

Scully’s Clovelly Farms comes to an endCLOVELLy FARMS, near Lexington and formerly owned by Robin Scully, has been purchased by Richard and Sue Masson’s Golden Age Farm. Owned by Scully since 1960, the 619-acre farm produced horses such as Silver Hawk, Alkaased and Pleasantly Perfect, who won the 2003 Breeders’ Cup Classic.

Clovelly dispersed its horses at the 2011 Keeneland Breeding Stock Sale, Scully feeling the time was right to end his breeding programme. In future, the farm will trade under the name Green Lantern Farm.

DUAL Group 3 winner Main Aim (Oasis Dream) is to stand at Highlands Farm Stud, South Africa.

The Juddmonte homebred was a dual winner of the John of Gaunt Stakes, finished second in the July Cup and was placed in the Duke of york Stakes, Celebration Mile and Challenge Stakes.

He is out of the Group 3-winning Selkirk mare Orford Ness, and is a half-brother to stakes-winners Home Affairs and Weightless.

Highlands Farm manager Mike Sharkey said to the Racing Post: “I was looking for a classy sprinter-miler and Main Aim fitted the bill. The fact he is by Oasis Dream is a huge plus and we are looking forward to standing him.

“He has just left quarantine in Johannesburg and he should be with us by the end of the month.”

A fee for Main Aim, who will stand at Highlands alongside Antonius Pius, Great Britain and Windrush, will be announced at a later date.

,AS WE GO TO PRESS it

seems the Keeneland January Sale is firing with 30 per cent increases and lower RNA rates. We could

be in for a repeat of last year with a crescendo effect on thoroughbred sales prices!

Anyone trying to book a slightly commercial £10,000 stallion in the New Year will also have found many stallions full or within a nomination or two from being full.

We have a plethora of early-season sales in Europe, which cater for many of us working in the industry and rarely attract the Japanese or Australians, but still set the scene for the coming months of

European breeze-ups. The southern-hemisphere yearling

circuit is underway in New Zealand, Australia and South Africa. All three countries are coming off good years and have their own wealthy investors, whom also invested in Europe this year. There is plenty to look forward to in the coming months.

I mentioned in the Racing Post that I was wary that as each December sale moves on many breeders are selling good pedigrees, which are taken out of the system and are exported abroad, even though the overall export figures are year on year the same or thereabouts. I think the quality of export has increased substantially.

It is true to say that we have a

strong pattern race system, but many races are won by The Aga Khan, Coolmore, Juddmonte and The Maktoums and these operations do not sell their best mares or yearlings in the commercial market place.

It means that there are very few black-type-winning and producing mares on the market or in commercial hands. If we do not re-stock as commercial vendors, there will be a diminishing pool of well-bred horses in the yearling sale catalogues.

Although prize-money is a major issue in Britain, we can still travel with the best horses. I know only six per cent of the horse population is good enough, but the prize money available in Japan, Hong Kong Dubai, Australia, US or Singapore is incredible.

Last year some brave UK-based trainers ran second stables in the US and a few targeted claimers in which the prize-money is so much greater.

British prize-money should receive every ounce of betting duty or levy available.

Moving forward should we be looking at the slot machine idea in Britain as a way to bolster the prize-money as has been introduced in

some states in the US? Even if slots were only attached

to Wolverhampton and Kempton, as a starting point it would do a lot to help increase the winter prize-money totals.

Our intrinsic problem is that we are too fractionalised. This is not, as our leaders say publicly, that we pull against each other with criticism, but as a unified body.

Anyone new coming into our sport /business finds it hard to keep up with the various bodies that now run racing.

Looking back at the Jockey Club days we seemed to have a stronger voice then, both within the sport and outside through the media. I know it is impossible to compare F1 with our business, but basically the one person who has a hold on everything in F1, bar the regulation and discipline, is Bernie Eccleston.

Racing does seem to be getting there with The Horseman’s Group, in which one voice speaks for everybody.

This is the way forward: one group one voice with all of the in-fighting aired in private before it gets out into the open. Let 2012 begin!



THE QUEEN has been given a pair of two-year-old colts by Street Cry as a gift from Sheikh Mohammed.

The colts have gone into training with Sir Michael Stoute, joining the Queen’s 2011 Derby third Carlton house, also a gift from Sheikh Mohammed.

Both Street Cry colts hold entries for the 2013 Derby, with the colt out of Dream Ticket (Danzig) being a descendent of The Queen’s 1974 1,000 Guineas winner, Highclere.

She is the grand-dam of Nashwan, Unfuwain and Nayef.

The colt is a three-parts brother to Group 3 winner Magic Mission.

The second colt is out of the Group 3 winner Showlady, a Theatrical sister to the Group 2 winner Humbel and a half-sister

to US champion Escena.He is a half-brother to two

winners, including the French winner Fashion School.

Carlton House carried The Queen’s colours to victory in the Group 2 Dante Stakes before he finished third as favourite in the Epsom Derby.

Carlton house made a last appearance of 2011 when fourth in the irish Derby.

Chepstow winner Abergeldie, a Street Cry filly from the family of Barathea and Gossamer, and Universe, a half-sister to Amadeus Wolf, were also gifted to the Queen with Carlton house.

a similar arrangement between the Queen and the aga Khan yielded this season’s Galtres Stakes heroine Set To Music.

DARLEy STALLION Echo Of Light, a son of Dubai Millennium, was put down at Kildangan stud in ireland at the beginning of January after breaking a leg in the paddock.

A ten-year-old, and from the only crop of his Group 1-winning sire, Echo Of Light retired to Dalham Hall Stud in 2008, switching to stand at Kildangan in 2010, where he had stood since.

His first crop were two-year-olds of 2011; from 27 runners he got four winners at a strike-rate of 15 per cent. The best to date is the debut winner Sound Advice, who went on to finish third in the Listed Stonehenge Stakes.

Echo Of Light was bred by Pat O’Kelly’s Kilcarn Stud and was out of Spirit Of Tara, a sister to the 1,000 Guineas, Oaks and Irish Derby winner Salsabil. He cost €1.2million at the Goffs Million Sale where he was bought by John Ferguson.

sent into training with saeed Bin suroor,

he ran once at two before going onto win twice at three from five starts.

At four, he stepped up to Group race success when successful in the Summer Mile Stakes (G3), the Strensall Stakes (G3) over 1m1f, and in September’s mile Prix Daniel Wildenstein (G2).

The following year he won the Prix Gontaut-Biron (G3) over 1m2f, and the Strensall Stakes for a second year when he broke york’s 1m1f track record.

Sam Bullard, Darley’s director of stallions, said: “Only time will tell how much of a loss Echo Of Light will be as a stallion, but to us at Darley he was a powerful reminder of his awesome sire.”

Darley sire Dubawi is the only son of Dubai Millennnium now standing at stud. He has produced three Group 1 winners in the northern hemisphere – Makfi, Poet’s Voice and Dubawi heights.

he stands at Dalham hall stud and his fee for 2012 is £75,000.

Celebrate the here and nowComparing Kauto Star to former champions is a pointless exercise, argues Sue Montgomery

racing action


KAUTO STAR’S POSITION in steeplechasing's pantheon can never be precisely determined, which is, for the sake of bar-room and chat-room debate, probably just as well.

Comparisons between distant generations tend to be unprovable; autres temps, autres moeurs and all that.

So let it be enough to celebrate the here and now and the wonderful, exceptional talent that has brought Clive Smith’s colour-bearer two Cheltenham Gold Cups and now an unprecedented five King George VI Chases. And to know that the gods from other eras – Easter Hero and Golden Miller, Arkle and Flyingbolt, and Desert Orchid, whose Kempton record he consigned to history – will be happy to accept him in their ranks.

In pure ratings terms, Kauto Star is behind the Tom Dreaper stablemates Arkle and Flyingbolt, and on a par with Easter Hero, which feels about right.

But as well as being one of the greatest champions, he is also one of the most durable.

Arkle was at the top of the senior game for three seasons, his career ended prematurely by the foot injury he sustained during the 1966 King George VI Chase. Flyingbolt blazed even more briefly, struck down by brucellosis at the end of the 1965-66 campaign. Easter Hero was champion chaser three times, Golden Miller and Desert Orchid each ruled for five seasons.

Kauto Star will not match the career total of Desert Orchid, who raced 70 times in ten seasons for 45 victories. He has, though, uniquely won top-level races in seven consecutive years, a sequence that started with the 2005 Tingle Creek Chase.

And Kauto’s haul of 16 Grade 1 races is also

a record; at the end of the 2010-11 campaign he was level with istabraq, but the Betfair Chase and the King George now have him two clear.

Next in the numerical list, incidentally are Moscow Flyer (13) and Beef Or Salmon and Brave Inca (both 10).

Like Desert Orchid, Kauto Star has brilliance, charisma and longevity, qualities that prompt the leap over the fence that divides racing from wider sporting adulation. Both horses defied their years and their critics to take a King George at the age of 11 and Kauto Star’s emotion-charged victory, at the expense of his old rival Long Run, a horse nearly half his age, was particularly sweet.

Judgement of a horse’s ability is part science, part art and – happily – there is no exact formula either for producing a champion. Arkle was produced in Ireland, the result of a liaison between a Classically-bred but useless runner, Archive, and a well-performed mare from a good jumping family,

Bright Cherry. Flyingbolt, the best jumper to come out of Britain, was by Airborne, a Derby winner who failed at stud, and out of an unraced 19-year-old mare who had been barren for four years, Eastlock.

Easter Hero was by a top-class jump stallion My Prince and out of a once-raced mare from one of Ireland’s best half-bred families, Easter Week.

Desert Orchid’s sire was a good class-miler, Grey Mirage; his dam a winning chaser, Flower Child, while Kauto Star, the best jumper ever foaled in France, is by the smart middle-distance horse Village Star and out of an unraced half-sister to a winning hurdler.

The rise and rise of French-breds, now an integral part of the elite scenery on jump tracks in Britain and Ireland, has been a remarkable phenomenon over the past quarter of a century.

This season, to the turn of the year, they had taken ten of the 22 Grade 1 contests run in the two countries, including all three at Kempton on Boxing Day, when the dashing grey Grands Crus (Dom Alco) announced his burgeoning talent over fences in the Feltham Novices’ Chase and Binocular (Enrique) won his second Christmas Hurdle.

Jump racing’s history has many strands and the thread imported from France is as

important as any, particularly where the King George is concerned. It is now clearly a vibrant part of the pattern of the great Kempton contest – Long Run, who in the 2010-11 season interrupted Kauto Star’s sequence, is also French-bred – but it has been there all along, and provided a couple of significant catalysts in the development and direction of the sport.

Rewind to the early days of 1936. Edward VIII has ascended the throne and those in charge at Kempton Park have put in motion plans to honour him with the creation of a valuable Flat race the following year. Then, after the King announced his abdication, the Sunbury course executive swiftly decided that racing should be one of the first bodies to honour the unexpected new monarch.

And so the 3m Manor Optional Selling Chase in February 1937 was transformed into the inaugural King George VI Chase. It was worth only £324 to the winner, a paltry prize even then, but because of the Royal connection the great and the good of the steeplechasing world clamoured to be involved and 24 of the top jumpers of the time were entered.

In the end, only four took part, but the winner, Southern Hero, was a high-class performer and the runner-up Royal Mail went on to win the Grand National.

After the second running there was not another until 1947, because of the war. In an inspired move the race was rescheduled for Boxing Day and revalued at £2,256. Events beyond the control of racing had conspired to produce the contest that, more often than not, identifies the season’s best staying chaser.

In the post-war era, one of the key factors in the rise in popularity of jumping was the involvement of royalty. In 1949 the Queen Mother – then, of course, Queen consort – acquired her first chaser Monaveen, who she owned with her daughter Elizabeth.

Her second was Manicou, the first, and one of the best, to carry the Queen Mother’s blue-and-buff colours. And in 1950 he provided the perfect result by beating Silver Fame in the sixth running of the race named after the King, a victory that put the seal on his owner’s love of and commitment to the sport.

Manicou (an entire who went on to sire one of the Queen Mother’s popular chasers, The Rip) was French-bred, one of a number of his ilk to shine at a time when the Irish bloodstock industry was regrouping after the war.

Mandarin, winner of two King Georges and a Gold Cup, was another, as were Champion Hurdle heroes Clair Soleil and Sir Ken, and

““

more Gold Cup winners Medoc, Fortina and Mont Tremblant.

But over the years the qualities of horses from France were almost forgotten until a reminder was posted in the 1987 King George.

Desert Orchid was going that year for a double in the race, but was thwarted by the 25-1 shot Nupsala, whose victory set in motion the modern French revolution.

French-bred jumpers are a case of two tribes going to war. Nupsala and four others who followed in his hoofprints in the King George – The Fellow, Algan, First Gold and Edredon Bleu – are members of the AQPS (other than thoroughbred, the Gallic equivalent of those Irish half-breds) strain; Kauto Star and Long Run, like Manicou and Mandarin, are thoroughbreds.

MANICOu was the first (and only) five-year-old to win a King George; Long Run would have been the second but for last season’s race being snowed off

until January. And while French-breds do demonstrate precocity, they can also last, as Kauto Star has so memorably shown.

The table opposite shows the developing ubiquity of French-breds at the top levels in Britain and Ireland and, even allowing for those who contest Graded races being cherry-picked, it is a remarkable progress.

It is now 30 years since jump racing started to be organised into a set of Graded contests, with pathways to championships, to mimic the Flat Pattern, and the first French-bred to win such a race was Sabin De Loir, who took the 1983 Sun Alliance Hurdle.

Within ten seasons of Nupsala’s much higher-profile success, the floodgates had started to open. And just as Sabin De Loir was trained by one innovator in Michael Dickinson, so was the next French-bred to take a Cheltenham championship, the aptly-named 1991 Sun Alliance Chase winner Rolling Ball, from Martin Pipe’s yard.

By the 2000-01 season, French-breds had relegated British-breds to third place in the Graded race table and three years ago, for the first time, overtook the Irish in top-level contests, courtesy of 26 races from Big Buck’s, Exotic Dancer, Golden Silver, Harchibald, Kalahari King, Kauto Star, Master Minded, Mikael d’Haguenet, Notre Pere, Punchestowns, Solwhit, Sublimity, Voy Por ustedes, Walkon and Zaynar.

Irish breeders realised early in the piece the potential efficacy of French genes and

where Vulgan led, others – notably Escart, Bargello, Roselier and Fortina – were given the opportunity to follow.

Nowadays the pervading influence has a closer origin. The legacy of Sadler’s Wells is as strong in the jumping sphere as on the Flat, with the 14-times champion’s son Istabraq, the triple Champion Hurdle winner, the catalyst. The Cheltenham showpiece was the race that launched a thousand chips; obviously, the man himself was not an option for jumping mares, so cue an influx of his sons to the NH sector.

Old Vic, his second-highest rated Flat runner, and unraced Accordion led the way, both now deceased. Old Vic, in 2007-08, has been his only champion, but Oscar and King’s Theatre pressed Presenting hard last season. The year 2008 actually marked a rare achievement when, for only the second time, the same stallion was responsible for the champion sire on both the Flat and jumping tables, Galileo and Old Vic. The only other stallion to have doubled up with sons in the same year was Cyllene back in 1920, with Zria over jumps and Polymelus on the Flat.

As 2010 ended, there were six Sadler’s Wells’s sons in the top ten on the seasonal sires’ list: King’s Theatre, who died at Ballylinch Stud in June aged 20, Oscar, Old Vic, Accordion, Milan and Kayf Tara.

But in Ireland’s major chase over the Christmas period, the Lexus Chase, it was back to the wellhead.

In his declining years Sadler’s Wells

did cover a few select jumping mares and Synchronised, winner of the Leopardstown feature, was the result of a tryst with JP McManus’s Mayasta, a chase-winning daughter of Bob Back.

Synchronised was Sadler’s Wells first NH Grade 1 winner since Istabraq’s final Irish Champion Hurdle 11 years ago, and his only one over fences.

The County Dublin meeting’s showcase hurdle also went to the product of a Coolmore star as unaccompanied, by Danehill Dancer out of a Sadler’s Wells mare, put her hat in the Champion Hurdle ring in the Festival Hurdle that now honours Istabraq.

King’s Theatre headed the sires’ table at the turn of the year (in front of Beneficial, Oscar and champion Presenting) and was responsible for the last Grade 1 winner of 2011 in Fingal Bay, who took his unbeaten record to five in the Challow Hurdle at Newbury.

That exciting novice was only one of a series of high-profile performers for his sire that month, a list that included novice chasers Cue Card and Menorah, classy mare Voler La Vedette (Christmas Hurdle at Leopardstown) and King George third Captain Chris.

Oscar had his festive period moment when Big Zeb took the Paddy Power Chase at Leopardstown and Sadler’s Wells had his say, too, in the first British-bred Grade 1 winner of the season. Hollow Tree, winner of the Finale Juvenile Hurdle at Chepstow, is by the great horse’s son Beat Hollow.

The big gunsThe World Rankings were all about just two horses, writes Paul Haigh

the first word

ONLy THE ONES at the top really matter. This is the simple truth about international ratings. Nobody except their owners and trainers cares much whether

injustices have been done to horses rated in the low hundreds or – we don’t really talk about them – even lower than that.

unanimity on the subject of horses’ abilities is more or less impossible to achieve, and even when it occurs the unanimous opinion is very often wrong. This year though we may have an exception, because there appears to be little doubt in the minds of the international handicappers, or perhaps of the international racing public, that the best horse in the world, and the best by some way, is Frankel.

The handicappers have the three-year-old phenomenon on 136, eight points clear of the second best of his sex and of the brilliant Arc winner Danedream.

Timeform, which enterprisingly issued its own ratings on the same day as the official handicappers, endorses the verdict. As far as their assessors are concerned this is the best horse we’ve seen since 1972 when Brigadier Gerard was in his pomp. It seems that after years of grumbling about the over-rating of horses from some jurisdictions – North America in particular – we have unanimity at last.

But not so fast. Is it possible that there are two freaks of nature in world racing at the moment? The handicappers seem

to think so. For there on 132, 12,000 miles away, stands the also unbeaten, and in her case un-extended, mare Black Caviar. And there is no Australian who will even consider the possibility that she might have a superior anywhere on earth.

With the sex allowance taken into consideration she and Frankel might theoretically dead heat if, unlikely but stupefyingly exciting though the possibility is, they were ever to meet at a distance appropriate to both.

That would mean 7f. Or just conceivably six.

So the plan for Frankel is that he should extend his reach to 1m2f as his breeding suggests he ought to. But what if Prince Khalid, for whom money is probably not a major consideration at least as far as his horses are concerned, decided he wanted to enjoy the sport of taking on Black Caviar in the Golden Jubilee first?

If the idea seems ridiculous we may reflect on the fact that Dick Hern was so certain the Brigadier would outclass the then

“top” sprinters that he would have argued for him to run in the following day’s

Nunthorpe if he hadn’t suffered the sole and utterly unexpected

defeat of his career in the york International.

Frankel and Black Caviar. There will only ever be one chance for such a match race

made in heaven because the decline of Goldikova and Buena Vista, down before their retirements


What if Prince Khalid, for whom money is probably not a major consideration at least as far as his horses are concerned, decided he wanted to enjoy the sport

of taking on Black Caviar in the Golden Jubilee?

““

The top two: left, the amazing and wonderful Frankel, and, below right, Black Caviar

to international ratings of 124 and 120 respectively, reminds us that mares don’t retain their brilliance very deep into maturity, and besides, whatever he does between now and then, Frankel is sure to have work to do at stud in 2013.

Perhaps the match made in heaven will take place at the paddocks instead. Freakish ability is seldom transmitted in a straight line, but if it happened just this once…

But enough of the fantasy – for a paragraph or two anyway. This is supposed to be a rational discussion of the findings of learned men (if there is a female among the international handicappers my apologies will hurtle in the next post).

What is most significant is what appears to be a global power shift. Or is it simply a recognition of a truth that until recently was ignored? Whatever the reason, uS horses no longer dominate the ratings. Right up until about 2008 when doubts began to creep in among the handicappers, even the uS ones, that the best horse in America, which was usually the winner of the Breeders’ Cup Classic, must necessarily be the best horse in the world, it was a given that the winner of that race would take not just the Eclipse Award as American Horse of the year, but the also top spot in the international ratings.

THE FACT THAT American horses never competed successfully outside America – except for the Dubai World Cup which was until Meydan opened effectively another American dirt race –

didn’t seem to make much difference. Now that received wisdom is received no more, and with it, incidentally, may have gone the exaggerated respect in which the Breeders’ Cup races are held.

This year, of the 13 top-rated horses in the world – those rated 125 and above – not a single one was uS-based. Only one of them, the Coolmore purchase So you Think, at number 10, even raced in America and that

to most eyes looked a desperate throw of the dice in the hope of recouping the investment.

It would be unfair to the Breeders’ Cup Classic winner Drosselmeyer to accept without a disapproving murmur the suggestion that the last three syllables of his name are redundant, but the fact is that his rating and that of the Breeders’ Cup Turf winner St Nicholas Abbey look very much like a gesture of courtesy to the Breeders’ Cup. This has admittedly not been a great year for uS racing, but then nor was last year, Zenyatta notwithstanding.

So where has the balance shifted to? With the exceptions of Black Caviar and Singapore’s Rocket Man who, sadly, seems to have passed his prime, every one of the top 13 was based in Europe, and every one of them except those two and Danedream achieved their highest ratings in England.

yes, it’s a little embarrassing for a Brit

to point this out, but the land that gave the world the thoroughbred seems once again to have become the home of racing’s equivalent of the Premier League.

Have any country’s horses been rated oddly this year? Possibly.

you have to suspect that Japan’s Triple Crown winner Orfevre, while not yet deserving mention in the same breath as his godlike predecessor Deep Impact (who was let down twice by his humans) should be a little higher than 123; and perhaps the Australian two-year-old Sepoy will turn out to have been a little flattered by the same mark.

Hong Kong’s Ambitious Dragon, yet to recover completely perhaps from what we must hope will turn out to have been the worst ride so far in Maxime Guyon’s brilliant career, may be capable of better than 122, particularly if he reverts to miling.

Apart from that it all looks pretty fair, although the presence of no less than 24 horses from four continents, including the winners of the Kentucky Derby and the Preakness, in joint 35th position does assail the nostrils with the delicious, if slightly sickly, odour of fudge.

Frankel and Black Caviar tower. As for the rest, the truth is out there. This time the handicappers seem to have just about found it.

world rankings

THE WORLD THOROuGHBRED RANKINGS are intended to identify the world’s best racehorses, but, in an indirect way, they also go a long way toward identifying the world’s

best sires. Given the heavy European bias of the

combination of WTRs and the European Thoroughbred Rankings (ETR), and the cursory nod of the WTRs in the direction of the uS, Australian and Japanese form, it is perhaps more accurate to say that the rankings tells us which are the best sires in Europe – but then most of the thoroughbred world believes that the world’s best sires stand in Europe at the moment anyway...

Whatever the truth of that assertion, the top 11 sires on the accompanying list of leading sires of the 585 individual horses ranked on either the WTRs, the ETRs for two-year-olds and three-year-olds and up, all stand or stood in Europe or shuttle between Europe and Australia.

It will surprise no one that Galileo, the horse generally regarded as the world’s best stallion, sired more ranked horses than any other sire. Galileo’s 21 ranked horses, of course, includes top-ranked Frankel, who raced only up to a mile, as well as top-ranked middle-distance three-year-old Nathaniel, top-ranked European two-year-old filly Maybe, top-ranked South African horse Igugu

Ups and downsJohn Sparkman takes a look at the sire line winners and losers in the WTR

and Cape Blanco, the joint top-ranked horse to race on turf in the uS.

Frankel was one of four European Guineas winners for Galileo in 2011, all out of Danehill mares, as indeed is Maybe.

Add in Irish Derby (G1) winner Treasure Beach, Prix Vermeille (G1) winner Galikova, and Queen Elizabeth Challenge Cup (G1) winner Together, it is at least arguable that Galileo enjoyed perhaps the best year ever for a sire on the global stage.

Worldwide Galileo sired 31 stakes winners (27 black-type winners) for earnings of almost $20 million, the most ever in a single year for a sire who stands outside Japan.

If Galileo is acknowledged as the world’s best sire, his Coolmore barn mate Montjeu and Juddmonte’s Dansili would certainly be in the argument for second and third best.

Montjeu, who is rather nonsensically

generally regarded as strictly a sire of stayers, sired his second European champion two-year-old in Camelot, who shared the top ranking with France’s Dabirsim.

Montjeu also celebrated his specialty with a third Epsom Derby (G1) winner in Pour Moi, as well as his first Breeders’ Cup winner when St. Nicholas Abbey won the Breeders’ Cup Turf (G1).

Dansili’s highest-rated runners were the sprinter Bated Breath, who always found one just barely too good for him at the highest level, and the miler Zoffany, who got closer to Frankel than anything else ever has in the oddly run St. James’s Palace Stakes (G1).

The retired Kingmambo, the most international uS sire of the last decade, ranks highest among American stallions, followed by Giant’s Causeway and Street Cry, both rare uS internationalists.

The pernicious prejudice in America against grass horses in general, and European turf horses in particular, though, finally appears to have run its course, largely because of the stud success of the sons of the Irish-bred El Prado, by Sadler’s Wells, who was discarded as not good enough for

Coolmore after failing to train on as a three-year-old in 1992.

The success of El Prado’s son Medaglia D’Oro is well documented, but it should not be long before El Prado’s champion son Kitten’s Joy appears on the list of leaders as well.

His Dean’s Kitten made the list after almost beating Cape Blanco in the Joe Hirsch Classic Invitational Stakes (G1) and Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies’ Turf (G2) winner Stephanie’s Kitten is not on the list only because American juveniles are not eligible.

world rankings

Mr. Prospector remains far more prominent in the US than anywhere else, but the rest of the world is slowly

finding branches that work for them as well

““

Acclamation (below) and Marju are developing a “Try My Best” branch of the Northern Dancer line


Northern Dancer dominantGalileo and Montjeu are grandsons and Dansili a great-grandson of Northern Dancer, and it is, of course, no surprise that male line descendants of the little giant of Windfields Farm sired more than half (308) of the 585 individual runners ranked on the lists, as shown in the chart on the previous page detailing the most dominant male lines of ranked runners.

It is equally unsurprising that the Danzig and Sadler’s Wells branches of Northern Dancer accounted for almost two-thirds of the Northern Dancer line horses. That is partly because of the European bias of the rankings, but, after a down period, Danzig has begun a comeback in the uS as well through young sons such as War Front and Hard Spun.The aforementioned success of sons of El Prado has created an opportunity for the Sadler’s Wells branch that Coolmore clearly hopes to exploit with Cape Blanco.

Danedream’s victory in the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe (G1) reminded us that the once-powerful Nijinsky branch of Northern Dancer is not quite dead yet.

Not many people would have predicted that the relative stud failure Try My Best would deserve his own branch of the Northern Dancer line, but the rise of Acclamation in Britain and belated prominence of the retired

Marju ensure that Try My Best’s line has endured longer than that of his far superior full brother El Gran Senor.

Mr. Prospector remains far more prominent in the uS than anywhere else, but the rest of the world is slowly finding branches that work for them as well.

Kingmambo, Machiavellian and Seeking The Gold all have representatives who take high rank on the list of leading sires of runners, and the unexpected brilliance of Dubawi must surely remind us how foolish it is to dismiss any stallion as “not a sire of sires.”

Dubawi is, of course, the only viable son of Seeking The Gold’s best son Dubai Millennium, but his astonishing success with his first few crops makes it clear that the Mr. Prospector male line is bound to expand in Europe over the next decade. It is likely as well that Machiavellian’s only viable son, Street Cry, will have representatives at stud in Europe before the decade ends. Like him or not, Mr. Prospector is here to stay on the global scene.

Among the less well-represented male lines, Nasrullah is hanging in there primarily through Blushing Groom and the tremendous boom of the Seattle Slew male line – really A.P. Indy – in America.

A.P. Indy himself has never made much impression on the eastern side of the Atlantic,

but his best son Bernardini shows every indication of being a more versatile sire, and since he is the property of Darley, he will get plenty of opportunities in Europe.

Similarly, A.P. Indy’s grandson Tapit sires top runners on all surfaces, and Coolmore has taken a definite interest in his progeny.

Germany’s Monsun, the only remaining hope of the once-great male line of Blandford, also shows every sign of sticking around for a while with his two best sons Shirocco and Manduro both siring ranked horses in their first crops.

Manduro’s Criterium de Saint-Cloud (G1) winner Mandaean appears to be particularly well-regarded by his connections and could ensure the continuance of his male line with a Classic win this year.

Finally, it is extremely gratifying to see a representative of the Herod male line, Cirrus Des Aigles, ranked as the best older horse in the world.

The bad news, of course, is that Cirrus Des Aigles is a gelding and unless a descendant of Ahonoora comes up with another top colt in the very near future, it will not be long before the last male line descendant of the true father of the thoroughbred breed disappears altogether.

A Leading Freshman Sire

Taking a look at the newWhat different times we live in... after the good-time years in which seemingly any colt with a hint of a pedigree or a smidgen of black-type was retired to stud as the “next big thing”, the numbers of new sires are noticeably down for the 2012 covering season – colts either remaining in training or shipped elsewhere.

It is a small and select band – Alan Porter runs through this year’s new candidatesCanford Cliffs b. 2007 Tagula – Mrs. Marsh (Marju) Coolmore, €17,500Canford Cliffs is one of the rare horses to win a Group race at Royal Ascot in three consecutive years, a feat he achieved by taking the Coventry Stakes (G2) at two, the St. James’s Palace Stakes (G1) at three, and the Queen Anne Stakes (G1) at four. The St. James’s Palace and the Queen Anne – which he captured after a memorable battle with Goldikova – were part of a five-race Group 1 winning streak, which also included the Irish 2,000 Guineas, Sussex Stakes and Lockinge Stakes.

Canford Cliffs is also rather unusual for a European sire in that he represents the Hail To Reason line, descending through Stop The Music, the Mill Reef Stakes (G2) winner Taufan, and Tagula.

Interestingly, Taufan is from the same family as Try My Best, whose son Last Tycoon is responsible for Canford Cliff’s broodmare sire Marju. Canford Cliffs’s third dam Triple Tipple was a stakes winner in Britain, and a graded winner in the US, and is out of a daughter of the top-class US racemare, Amerigo’s Fancy.

This is a family that has also produced Australian super-mare Makybe Diva, and other well-known performers such as Sumati, Bluegrass Prince and Famous Name.

Canford Cliffs does have two crosses of Northern Dancer in his dam, but the nearest will be in the fifth generation of his foals, so he is an effective outcross. His sire has enjoyed plenty of success with Northern Dancer, including stakes winners out of mares by Caerleon and Vision (brothers by


new sires 2012

Canford Cliffs collecting the third of those Royal Ascot successes, beating Goldikova in the Queen Anne Stakes


Alzao (Lyphard), Air Express (Salse), and Owington (Sheikh Albadou, a son of Green Desert).

Last Tycoon, the grandsire of Canford Cliffs’ dam, is something of a genetic relative to Sadler’s Wells, and has combined very well with that horse, and has also done well with Danehill.

Mares carrying Northern Dancer through El Gran Senor, the brother to Last Tycoon’s sire, Try My Best would also be interesting.

Tagula and Taufan have both sired stakes winners out of Mr. Prospector line mares from daughters of Namaqualand and Gone West, and Gone West would also be interesting here through Zafonic/Zamindar, and Zafonic’s son Xaar, who is from the same family as Taufan and Try My Best.

Tagula also has stakes winners out of mares by Darshaan, a grandson of Mill Reef, who is already in this pedigree through Last Tycoon, and Rainbow Quest by Blushing Groom.

Cat Junior dk.b/br. 2005 Storm Cat – Luna Wells (Sadler’s Wells) Haras Du Pays d’Auge, France €2,800Cat Junior is a horse who combines commendable durability with a stallion pedigree. A much-travelled individual, he started 28 times, winning the first and last of those events – a 6f Newbury maiden at two, and the black-type Swedish Open Mile

at Taby at six. He won on one other occasion when taking the Burj Nahaar (G3) at Meydan, but frequently distinguished himself against tough opposition finishing second in five Group 1 contests, as well as fourth in the St. James’s Palace Stakes (G1), Prix Jean Prat (G1) and Prix de la Forêt (G1).

The record of Cat Junior’s sire Storm Cat as a sire of sires is too well-known to need recounting, but there are also some impressive credentials on the distaff side of this pedigree – his dam won the Prix Saint-Alary (G1) and is a half-sister to Linamix.

Considering they were the giants of their era in the US and Europe, it’s interesting that Cat Junior is the only stakes winner by Storm Cat out of a Sadler’s Wells mare, and in fact there were only four starters bred on the cross. This pattern gives Northern Dancer 3x3 in the sire line of Cat Junior’s sire and dam.

An affinity for some Northern Dancer line mares can’t be ruled out – for example Rock Of Gibraltar, who has Northern Dancer in the same position as at least 20 stakes winners out of Northern Dancer line mares – but it might work well with a little distance, so perhaps with mares by sons of Danehill or Green Desert.

Other Northern Dancer options would include the cautious introduction of Sadler’s Wells’s relatives Nureyev, Fairy King, Tate Gallery, Perugino and Nijinsky, including

through Royal Academy, a relative to Storm Cat.

Grand Lodge and Be My Chief are by Chief’s Crown, who is bred on a similar cross to Storm Cat. Last Tycoon might also be good. One could envisage Mill Reef, and particularly Shirley Heights, working well.

In general, Storm Cat did well with Mr. Prospector, and one could see mares by horses such as Zafonic, Zamindar, Nayef and Medicean being interesting here. Blushing Groom is another strain that has enjoyed success under both Storm Cat and Sadler’s Wells, and while there are a dwindling number of mares with him in their sire line, bringing in Thatch (brother to the grand-dam of Sadler’s Wells) could be a positive.

Dalghar b. 2006 Anabaa – Daltawa (Miswaki) Haras de Saint Arnoult, France €4,000An Anabaa half-brother to Dalakhani and Daylami, Dalghar did his best work as a sprinter/miler, winning the Prix du Palais-Royal (G3) and Prix Luthier, and taking seconds in the Criterium de Maisons-Laffitte (G2), Diadem Stakes (G2), Prix du Pin (G3) and Prix de Montretout, and thirds in the Lennox Stakes (G3) and Prix de Seine et Oise (G3).

His dam Daltawa was also a Listed winner, and in addition to Dalghar and her Classic-

new sires 2012


winning duo, also produced another black-type winner in the Caerleon horse, Daymarti.

She comes from a Boussac family, and her grand-dam is a three-parts sister to the French Oaks winner Crepellano. Given that Dalghar is a half-brother to Dalakhani (Darshaan) and Daylami (Doyoun), and that a sister to Daylami produced a stakes winner by Anabaa, the Mill Reef line has obvious attractions here.

Anabaa flourished when bred back over Northern Dancer line mares, with branches providing the dams of Anabaa’s stakes winners, including Sadler’s Wells and his brother Fairy King, Storm Bird, through Bluebird and Storm Cat, Last Tycoon (another Mill Reef source), Nureyev and Nijinsky, including through Green Tune (Green Dancer) and Generous (Caerleon).

It might be interesting to try mares carrying the same Mr. Prospector/Buckpasser cross that produced Dalghar’s broodmare sire Miswaki, sources including Woodman, Seeking The Gold and Dubawi.

Dick Turpin b. 2007 Arakan – Merrily (Sharrood) National Stud, £7,000 Successful in the first four races of his two-year-old career, which included the Richmond Stakes (G2) and Tattersalls Ireland Sale Stakes, Dick Turpin trained on to

become one of the leading milers of his crop. His credits include wins in the Prix Jean Prat (G1) and Greenham Stakes (G3) at three, and the Premio Vittorio di Capua (G1), Summer Mile (G2) and Bet365 Mile at four. He was also second in the English and French 2,000 Guineas (G1), and the St. James’s Palace Stakes G1).

A son of the over-achieving Nureyev sire Arakan, Dick Turpin comes from a precocious family as his dam is a half-sister to the juvenile Group winner Deep Finesse and to the dam of Halmahera, as well as being half-sister to the dam of stakes-winning sprinter Rising Shadow. There are several more fast horses under the third dam – herself a half-sister to the speedy Zeddaan: Premiere Cuvee, River Falls, Needles and Pins, Alsindi and Monsieur Bond.

Dick Turpin is the product of a similar Nureyev/Caro cross to Pivotal, which might offer some clues to likely matches.

From the Northern Dancer line, the most likely crosses would include Danehill and Green Desert from the Danzig branch, Last Tycoon, Royal Applause and Acclamation and Nijinsky (who has been successful through Caerleon/Generous and Royal Academy), Sadler’s Wells (a three-parts brother to Nureyev), his brothers Fairy King and Tate Gallery and three-parts brother Perugino.

Pivotal has also been a good cross for Mr. Prospector line mares, particularly through Gone West (sire of Zafonic and Zamindar, and a brother to Lion Cavern), the similarly-bred Woodman, Miswaki, and Seeking The Gold and Kingmambo.

Another strong strain for Pivotal has been Blushing Groom with Rahy, Nashwan and Rainbow Quest among the successful channels. It could pay to reintroduce Nureyev’s broodmare sire Forli through Formidable, Efisio and Thatch/Thatching, and to line-breed to Dick Turpin’s family and his broodmare sire line via Zeddaan, with like sources including Highest Honor, Verglas, Kenmare, Kampala and Kendor.

Dream Ahead dk./b. 2008 Diktat – Land of Dreams (Cadeaux Genereux) Ballylinch Stud, €17,500 Dream Ahead will be bidding to extend the influence of the Man O’War sire line in Europe well into the 21st century, and he certainly has the credentials. At two, he was rated joint top-rated European two-year-old with the mighty Frankel after taking the Prix Morny (G1) and Middle Park Stakes (G1), the latter by 9l.

At three, he defeated his elders in a trio

of Group sprints taking the July Cup (G1), Haydock Sprint Cup (G1) and, after a Classic battle with Goldikova, the Prix de la Forêt (G1).

Dream Ahead is by Warning’s champion sprinter Diktat and is out of a Cadeaux Genereux mare, as is Diktat’s Group 1-winning filly Rajeem.

His dam Land Of Dreams was pretty quick in her own right, winning the Flying Childers Stakes (G2) and King George Stakes (G3). She is also dam of the multiple stakes winner Into The Dark. The grand-dam Sahara Star won the Molecomb Stakes (G3) and is out of another speedster, the July Cup (G1) runner-up Vaigly Star.

The Warning line did well with Northern Dancer, and there are more than 50 stakes winners on the cross.

Diktat himself was the result of the successful Warning/Sadler’s Wells cross, and it will be interesting to test Dream Ahead with mares carrying Nureyev, Fairy King and Perugino. Doubling Sadler’s Wells is also worth considering with Barathea looking one worthwhile option.

Dream Ahead’s second dam is by Green Desert, and it would be interesting to duplicate that line through Cape Cross, who is from the immediate family of Diktat. Look also for other Danzig/Sir Gaylord, such as Grand Lodge, Be My Chief and Danzig Connection.

Diktat sired a trio of stakes winners out of Mr. Prospector line mares – from daughters of Damister, Kingmambo and Machiavellian – and it would be interesting to try sons of Gone West (such as Zafonic and Zamindar) or his brother, Lion Cavern.

We’d also like to see Sharpen Up introduced here, particularly through Kris or Diesis.

Eastern Anthem b. 2004 Singspiel – Kazzia (Zinaad) Withyslade Stud, £2,000Eastern Anthem hit a rich vein of form in the winter of 2009 winning three straight at Nad Al Sheba, the third of those races being the Dubai Sheema Classic (G1). He also earned seconds in the Grosser Preis von Baden (G1) and Preis von Europa (G1).

By Singspiel, Eastern Anthem is a brother to Zeitoper, who took the Prix de Conde (G3) as a two-year-old. The dam is the splendid Kazzia, heroine of the Oaks (G1), 1,000 Guineas (G1) and Flower Bowl Invitational Stakes (G1).

The pedigree is also notable for a 4x3 inbreeding to Shirley Heights. For a European stallion, Singspiel demonstrated a

tremendous affinity for Mr. Prospector line mares getting 16 stakes winners, including from daughters of Mr. Prospector himself, Woodman and his son Mujtahid, Gone West, and his brother Lion Cavern, Machiavellian and Kingmambo. Dubawi would be an interesting Mr. Prospector line option.

Singspiel has also done well when crossed back over Northern Dancer line mares, particularly with Danzig via Danehill, Green Desert, Shaadi (three stakes winners) and Dayjur and Alzao (three stakes winners).

He also has a stakes winner out of a mare by Zilzal, a son of Nureyev.

Other strains that have done well under Singspiel include Sharpen Up, including through Kris, Halling and Trempolino, and Blushing Groom, including Rainbow Quest, with Rahy (a brother to the dam of Singspiel) being an interesting option. Eastern Anthem should also enjoy meeting up with German strains such as Monsun (whose sire, Konigsstuhl, is from Eastern Anthem’s family), Surumu and Lomitas.

Frozen Fire b. 2005 Montjeu – Flamingo Sea (Woodman) Coolagown Stud, €3,000 A son of “the Derby sire” Montjeu, Frozen Fire had his breakout day when winning the Irish Derby (G1) with the Epsom second and third Tartan Bearer and Casual Conquest behind him. He also captured a maiden first time out at two, and was second to Tartan Bearer in the Dante Stakes (G2).

Although he was foaled in Germany, Frozen Fire is out of a Woodman mare and with his second dam by Northern Dancer, he has that sire 3x3. The grand-dam produced two Group winners, including the German Oaks (G2) winner Flamingo Road and a little further back this is also the family that produced Storm Cat and Be My Guest.

Despite the Northern Dancer inbreeding, with a strain coming through a daughter at the base of the pedigree, it should be viable to breed Frozen Fire back over Northern Dancer line mares, with strains that have worked under Montjeu and his sons including Danzig through Danehill, Anabaa, Grand Lodge and Green Desert; Last Tycoon, including Ezzoud, Nureyev, including Spinning World and Nijinsky, including Caerleon.

Frozen Fire is an example of the very strong affinity that Montjeu has displayed for Mr. Prospector, and crossing him back over mares from that line via horses such as Gone West (including Zafonic/Zamindar) and his brother Lion Cavern, Kingmambo,

and Machiavellian. Other strains to look for are Blushing Groom, including via Rainbow Quest, Rahy and Nashwan and Shirley Heights/Darshaan.

Frozen Power b. 2007 Oasis Dream – Musical Treat (Royal Academy) Ballyhane Stud, €4,500 Frozen Power was a winner in four different countries. He won a nursery in England, and the Listed Prix de la Huderie in France at two, following up at three with the Meydan Classic

and the Mehl Mulhens-Rennen (G2). A son of Oasis Dream, Frozen Power is a

half-brother to the 1,000 Guineas (G1) and Prix Marcel Boussac (G1) winner Finsceal Beo, as well as to the black-type placed runners Zabeel Park and Musical Bar.

The Group 3-winning grand-dam Mountain Ash is out of Cheveley Park Stakes (G1) runner-up Big Berry who is from the same family as Mill Reef and Blushing Groom.

Finsceal Beo is by Mr. Greeley, a son of Gone West and from the Mr. Prospector line. In Europe, Gone West can be introduced through Zafonic (broodmare sire of two stakes winners by Oasis Dream), Zafonic’s son Xaar and his brother Zamindar, all of whom would give line-breeding to the three-parts brothers Nijinsky and The Minstrel.

Other branches of Mr. Prospector that have enjoyed success under Oasis Dream are Kingmambo (broodmare sire of Midday), Machiavellian (broodmare sire of Naaqoos, and potentially interesting here through Medicean) and Mujtahid, a son of Woodman. Mr. Prospector is a grandson of Native Dancer and that description also fits Sharpen Up, another strain that has done well under Green Desert in general, and that has supplied six stakes winners for Oasis Dream.

Four of those are out of mares by Selkirk, and the others are out of daughters of Kris and Halling, by Kris’s brother, Diesis.

Oasis Dream has also enjoyed considerable success when crossed back over mares from his own Northern Dancer line. We can note stakes winners out of mares by Sadler’s Wells and his sons Barathea and In The Wings (sire of Singspiel) and Sadler’s Wells’s brother Fairy King. There has also been success with Fasliyev and Soviet Star (Nureyev); Shareef Dancer (duplicating the Northern Dancer/Sir Ivor cross found in Green Desert) and Catrail, who is by Storm Cat, a close relative to Frozen Power’s broodmare sire Royal Academy.

Frozen Power himself is a product of Oasis Dream over a mare by a son of Nijinsky, and if one wanted to experiment with duplicating Nijinsky, we can note that Oasis Dream is sire of stakes winners out of mares by the other Nijinsky line stallions, Niniski, Hernando, Kahyasi and Suave Dancer.

Lilbourne Lad b. 2009 Acclamation – Sogno Verde (Green Desert) Rathbarry Stud, €7,500Like Dark Angel, another fast son of his sire, Lilbourne Lad, retired to stud at the end of his two-year-old career after making his name as a juvenile. In his case that meant victories

in the Railway Stakes (G2) and Rochestown Stakes, and seconds in the Middle Park Stakes (G1) and Gimcrack Stakes (G2).

Although he is by Acclamation, who really stamped himself as an outstanding juvenile sire in 2011, and out of a mare by another speed influence in Green Desert, Lilbourne Lad’s family is a Classic one. His dam, who was second in the Ribblesdale Stakes (G2), is by Nashwan out of the Irish St. Leger (G1) heroine, Dark Lomond. This is the same branch of the Frizette family as Elusive Quality.

Acclamation and his sire, Royal Applause, have established a strong affinity with mares from the Mr. Prospector line, including through Machiavellan and his son Vettori (suggesting Medicean), Woodman, Gulch (who would be interesting via Nayef, to give a doubling Height Of Fashion), Damister, Distant View,and Lion Cavern, whose brother, Gone West, is sire of Zafonic and Zamindar.

Native Dancer through Sharpen Up and his son Diesis has also worked well.

Northern Dancer strains that are worthy of consideration here include Night Shift, Royal Academy, Nureyev (including through Polar Falcon/Pivotal, Ashkalani and Fasliyev), Dancing Brave and Shareef Dancer.

Never On Sunday gr./ro. 2005 Sunday Break – Hexane (Kendor) Haras de Grandcamp, €3,000 Never On Sunday, who gained Group 1 honours in the Prix d’Ispahan, represents a branch of Mr. Prospector that is rarely seen in Europe, that of Forty Niner, a champion US two-year-old and Kentucky Derby (G1) runner-up.

His sire Sunday Break, a Japanese-foaled son of Forty Niner, ran in the US where he won the Peter Pan Stakes (G2) and finished third in the Belmont Stakes (G1).

The dam was Group-placed in France and is a half-sister to the two-year-old Group winner Texalina. The third dam Tamoure was a stakes winner in France, and is out of a sister to the speedy juveniles Texana and Texanita.

Never On Sunday has only one cross of Northern Dancer (through Storm Cat) and Northern Dancer will be in the sixth generation of his foals on the sire’s side.

The Forty Niner line has crossed well with a wide-variety of branches of Northern Dancer, and of the ones found frequently in Europe we could consider Nijinsky (a genetic relative to Storm Bird, the sire of Storm

Cat), including through Caerleon and Royal Academy (closely related to Storm Cat), Sadler’s Wells, Danzig, Storm Bird (through Bluebird and Mujadil) and Nureyev.

Roberto is another strain that has done well under Forty Niner, which suggests Red Ransom (available through Sri Pekan and Intikhab), Dr Fong and his brother Lucky Story.

There is a stakes winner on a Forty Niner/Sharpen Up cross, and that strain would be good here through Kris and Diesis, who introduce Reliance, a horse with a strong connection to Never On Sunday’s family. Similarly, Linamix would bring in Reliance’s three-parts brother Relko.

Poet's Voice b. 2007 Dubawi – Bright Tiara (Chief’s Crown) Dalham Hall Stud, £12,000One of the most accomplished sons of his sire to date, Poet’s Voice won the Champagne Stakes (G2), the Celebration Mile (G2) by 4l, and the Queen Elizabeth II Stakes (G1) in which he accounted for horses such as Rip Van Winkle, Makfi and Beethoven.

Bred on the most prolific cross for his sire to date, that with mares from the Danzig line, Poet’s Voice is a half-brother to Japanese Grade 1 winner Gold Tiara (by Dubawi’s grandsire, Seeking The Gold), and the US stakes winner Queen’s Park (Relaunch).

The dam is a sister to the US Grade 1 winner Chief Honcho and the grand-dam, a graded stakes winner, is out of a three-parts sister to Exclusive Native.

Although Poet’s Voice is out of a mare by a son of Danzig (Chief’s Crown), this shouldn’t prevent him working over the branch of Danzig that has demonstrated a particular affinity for Dubawi, that of Green Desert.

There is also a Dubawi stakes winner out of a mare by Eagle Eyed indicating that it is worth considering mares descending from that horse’s brother, Danehill.

Dubawi has also done well over the Sadler’s Wells branch of Northern Dancer, including Barathea (who should be good here) and Singspiel, whose sire, In The Wings, is bred similarly to the dam of Dubawi.

Galileo would bring in Sadler’s Wells and Miswaki, a three-quarters relative to Seeking The Gold, who is in the male-line of Dubawi.

Other Northern Dancer lines that we can note with mares that have produced Dubawi stakes winners including Nijinsky (through Caerleon, Hernando and Suave Dancer) and Lyphard (through Alzao and Manila).

Inbreeding to the family of Slightly Dangerous, which can be achieved via Warning and Rainbow Quest, has proved a positive for Dubawi, and Rainbow Quest’s sire Blushing Groom has also worked through Rahy.

It would also be interesting to bring in Storm Cat (including through Giant’s Causeway), and General Assembly, who would duplicate both Secretariat and the family of Poet’s Voice.

It isn’t a strain that is seen often in Europe, but Exclusive Native would also work.

Pour Moi b. 2008 Montjeu – Gwynn (Darshaan) Coolmore, €20,000A win over a mile in two starts at two, Pour Moi looked as if he could be developing into something special when he produced a dazzling turn of foot to win the Prix Greffulhe (G2) and Epsom Derby (G1).

Yet another in a string of Derby winners

new sires 2012

The last time Pour Moi (9) was seen in competitive action was when winning the Epsom Derby


new sires 2012

for his sire, Pour Moi is three-parts brother to the talented Sadler’s Wells filly Gagnoa, a multiple Group winner, who also took second in the French Oaks (G1), and third in the Irish Oaks (G1).

The third dam is the outstanding tap-root mare Royal Statute, whose descendents include Awaasif, Snow Bride, Lammtarra, Saytarra, Proskona, Hector Protector, Bosra Sham and Shanghai.

Pour Moi is another example of the Sadler’s Wells/Shirley Heights cross, being out of a mare by Darshaan.

However, there are getting on for 30 stakes winners with Shirley Heights inbreeding so one couldn’t rule out reintroducing that strain, or other representatives of the Mill Reef sire line.

Mill Reef’s sire Never Bend would also be good through Riverman/Irish River. As we mentioned with regard to Montjeu’s son Frozen Fire, Montjeu has done very well with a wide variety of Mr. Prospector line horses, and Mr. Prospector/Northern Dancer crosses might be especially worthwhile here.

There are a number of branches of Northern Dancer that could be considered, including Danzig, Last Tycoon, Nureyev and Nijinsky.

Blushing Groom, including Rainbow Quest, Nashwan and Rahy; Sharpen Up and Grey Sovereign through Zeddaan/Kalamoun, and Caro, are also worth bearing in mind.

Prime Defender ch. 2004 Bertolini – Arian Da (Superlative) Hedgeholme Stud, £1,750This durable sprinter won eight races, including Duke of York Stakes (G2), Cammidge Trophy, European Handicap and Sandy Lane Stakes. A grandson of Danzig

he is by Green Desert’s three-parts brother Bertolini and out of the 5f winner Arian Da. His grand-dam, who is by a son of Northern Dancer, is a sister to the good US turf horse Sprink.

Prime Defender’s sire demonstrated a strong affinity for Roberto through Kris S. and Red Ransom (sources of this duo including Dr. Fong, Intikhab and Sri Pekan), and among other broodmare sires of Bertolini stakes winners are Lion Cavern (by Mr. Prospector, and a brother to Gone West, sire of Zafonic and Zamindar), Groom Dancer (Blushing Groom line), First Trump (by Primo Dominie, by Dominion), Shalford (Thatching), Clantime (Music Boy, by Jukebox, from the Sing Sing line), and Paris House.

From the Northern Dancer line, Lyphard’s Special (by Lyphard, and the cross that produced the Group 1 winner Donna Blini) and Al Hareb (by El Gran Senor, a brother to Try My Best, who could be found through Last Tycoon, Marju, Ezzoud, Waajib, Royal Applause and Acclamation) should do well. The Sharpen Up line is also worth trying.

Roderic O'Connor b. 2008 Galileo – Secret Garden (Danehill) Ballyhane Stud, €9,000Roderic O’Connor earned top honours over a mile at two and three, winning the Criterium International (G1) and Irish 2,000 Guineas (G1), and he also took second to his paternal half-brother Frankel in the Dewhurst Stakes (G1), with Dream Ahead among those behind.

A son of the phenomenally successful Galileo, Roderic O’Connor is out of the Danehill mare, Secret Garden – a stakes winner in England and the US – and so a product of the magical cross that has already also produced Frankel, Teofilo, Maybe, Golden Lilac and Cima De Triomphe. The third dam Durtal was a champion two-year-old filly and is half-sister to Detroit, the dam of Carnegie, a son of Roderic O’Connor’s grandsire Sadler’s Wells, who won the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe (G1) and was a Classic sire in southern hemisphere, and Valderna, a stakes winner who is grand-dam of New

Zealand superstar sire, Zabeel.Of course, Roderic O’Connor is bred on

the prime cross for Galileo, but he is open to several other nicks.

One of the most obvious would be with mares by Darshaan (suggesting Mark Of Esteem), with other Shirley Heights/Mill Reef sources. Roderic O’Connor’s second dam is by Kris, and he should like mares carrying that horse’s brother Diesis – Galileo has Classic winners out of mares by Diesis and his half-brother Presidium.

The cross of Galileo with mares from the Roberto line has been an extremely productive one, including Grade 1 winners out of mares by Red Ransom and his son Intikhab, a stakes winner out of another Red Ransom son in Sri Pekan, as well as two stakes winners, one Group 1, out of mares by Silver Hawk and others out of mares by Lear Fan and Kris S.

Galileo has been good with Indian Ridge and with Blushing Groom through Nashwan, Rainbow Quest (and his son, Spectrum) and Rahy. Roderic O’Connor is already the product of a Northern Dancer/Northern Dancer cross, but if that strain was to be introduced likely sources could be Last Tycoon, Nureyev and Royal Academy.

Galileo does not have a great strike-rate with Mr. Prospector line mares, but we could see King’s Best and Elusive Quality as two representatives of that line that could work.

Wootton Bassett b. 2008 Iffraaj – Balladonia (Primo Dominie) Haras d’Etreham, €6,000 A member of his sire’s record-breaking first crop, Wootton Bassett was undefeated in five starts at two, capturing two valuable sales races, and earning honours as champion two-year-old in France with a 2l victory over subsequent French 2,000 Guineas (G1) winner Tin Horse in the Prix Jean-Luc Lagardere (G1).

Wootton Bassett was one of no less than 38 two-year-old winners sired by Iffraaj (by the Gone West horse Zafonic) in a first crop that has produced four stakes winners, including

A son of the phenomenally successful Galileo, Roderic O’Connor is out of the Danehill mare, Secret Garden

Cape Blanco and Uncle Mo top the new batch in the USArcharcharch dk.b./br. 2008 Arch – Woodman’s Dancer (Woodman)Spendthrift Farm, Kentucky, $10,000Successful in the 6f Sugar Bowl Stakes in two outings at two, Archarcharch looked a very serious Kentucky Derby (G1) contender coming into the race off victories in the Southwest Stakes (G3) and Arkansas Derby (G1).

Unfortunately, he suffered a career-ending injury in the race and finished off the board.

He is by Roberto line stallion Arch, who was represented by last year’s champion older male Blame, and is best known in Europe Cape Blanco: a three-time Grade 1 winner in 2011, is attempting to follow in El Prado’s hoofprints

other Group scorers Espirita and Stay Alive. Out of the black-type placed Primo

Dominie mare Balladonia, Wootton Bassett is a half-brother to the dam of multiple stakes winner Katla. The third dam is a three-parts sister to the US champion and successful sire, Key To The Mint.

Iffraaj’s other stakes winners are out of mares by Warning (by Known Fact, who gives a double of Tamerett, the grand-dam of Gone West), Sunday Silence (Halo), and Pursuit Of Love (a grandson of Blushing Groom).

With Iffraaj carrying Nureyev the cross with Sadler’s Wells line mares should go well here (with Tate Gallery, Fairy King and Perugino all being from the immediate family).

Nijinsky should also be good as Zafonic is out of a mare by that horse’s three-parts brother The Minstrel. Northern Dancer through Danzig (with Green Desert, including Cape Cross, who is from Iffraaj’s immediate family, and Danehill looking very good) and Storm Cat also look appealing.

Sharpen Up and Blushing Groom line mares should do well, as should horses with a background of some of the more traditional sprinting strains such as Cadeaux Genereux, Prince Sabo and Kyllachy, who has Song.

Yellowstone b. 2004 Rock Of Gibraltar – Love And Affection (Exclusive Era) Haras de Saint Arnoult, €2,500A winner on his debut at two, Yellowstone ended his two-year-old season with a

third in the Criterium International (G1). Subsequently he added the Silver Cup, and the Gordon Stakes (G3), and earned places in three other Group events.

By one of Danehill’s most reliable stallion sons, Yellowstone is out of Love And Affection, a two-year-old stakes winner and Grade 1 performer who is a three-parts sister to the Prix d’Ispahan (G1) and Budweiser International (G1) winner, Zoman.

The distaff side of Yellowstone’s pedigree is an outcross for most European strains leaving him open to cross with most of the sires who have worked under Rock Of Gibraltar, among them from the Northern Dancer line Sadler’s Wells, Nureyev, Night Shift, and his own Danzig line, including Green Desert and Key Of Luck (by Chief’s Crown, sire of Grand Lodge and Be My Chief).

Like most Danzig line horses, Rock Of Gibraltar likes Sharpen Up, including Kris, Diesis and Selkirk. Roberto has done well, particularly via Kris S., and other strains that have worked are Darshaan, Bering, Kenmare, Indian Ridge and Mr. Prospector, including via Machiavellian, Miswaki and Gulch.

Zoffany b. 2008 Dansili – Tyranny (Machiavellian) Coolmore, €7,500The most precocious son of his sire, Zoffany won five races as a two-year-old, including the Golden Fleece Stakes, Tyros Stakes and Phoenix Stakes (G1). Having taken a 6f Group 1 as a juvenile, Zoffany narrowly

missed adding to his laurels at a mile at three going down by just a head in the Prix Jean Prat (G1), and three-quarters of a length to Frankel in the St. James’s Palace Stakes (G1).

He is by Dansili, one of the most successful sons of Danehill, and already responsible for a juvenile Group 1 sire in Strategic Prince, and his dam is by Mr. Prospector’s most important European son, Machiavellian, out of Group winner Dust Dancer.

Zoffany is a product of a Dansili/Mr. Prospector cross, but that would not preclude breeding him back over Mr. Prospector line mares, a cross which has done well for Dansili, including with Zafonic, who is a Mr. Prospector/The Minstrel cross, where the dam of Zoffany is a Mr. Prospector/Nijinsky cross, which brings in Zamindar, Xaar, Distant View, Kingmambo, Miswaki and Woodman.

From the Northern Dancer line, Dansili has a Group 1 winner out of a mare by Sadler’s Wells, while Strategic Prince sired the Group 1 winner La Collina out of a mare by Galileo. Nureyev has also worked, notably through Theatrical and Pivotal.

Zoffany is doubled to the Nijinsky/Blushing Groom cross, and adding to that combination with Quest For Fame, would be interesting, and Blushing Groom line mares in general should be good, including Quest For Fame’s sire, Rainbow Quest and Arazi.

Dansili has worked over Shirley Heights through Darshaan and Deploy, over Sharpen Up through Selkirk, Kris and Diesis, and In Reality through Known Fact and Warning.


new us sires 2012

through his sprint star, Les Arcs. Archarcharch is actually bred on a similar

line to Blame as both are out of mares by stallions bred on the Mr. Prospector/Buckpasser cross, and where Archarcharch’s second dam Pattern Step is a Grade 1-winning daughter of Nureyev, Blame’s grand-dam is a three-parts sister to that horse.

Big Drama, dk.b./rb. 2006 Montbrook – Riveting Drama (Notebook) Stonewall Farm, Florida, $10,000The son of Montbrook earned the title as the champion sprinter of 2010 with his win in the Breeders’ Cup Sprint.

That came in Big Drama’s four-year-old season, but he’d also excelled at two, winning four of five starts, including the Delta Jackpot (G3) and all three legs of the Florida Stallion Series, and was a stakes winner at three in a season sidetracked by attempts to stretch his speed.

He only ran three times in 2011, but won a pair of stakes races and earned the year’s highest Beyer Speed figure when setting a new track mark for 6f at Gulfstream Park in the Mr. Prospector Stakes (G3).

A Florida-bred who returns to his native state, Big Drama is a son of Montbrook (by Buckaroo from the Buckpasser line), a long-time dominant force among the local stallion colony. The dam Riveting Drama is a daughter of another long-time Florida stalwart, Notebook (grandson of the very successful Bold Ruler stallion Raja Baba), and has bred three other stakes winners.

Cape Blanco ch. 2007 Galileo – Laurel Delight (Presidium) Ashford Stud, Kentucky, $17,500Cape Blanco becomes the first son of his sire to retire to stud in the US, and he will attempt to emulate El Prado (sire of leading young stallions Medaglia d’Oro and Kitten’s Joy) in establishing a US branch of the Sadler’s Wells line.

Cape Blanco does have one head start over El Prado, who never raced in the US, as he appears to be a good thing (at the time of writing) for an Eclipse Award as Champion Turf Horse – his three starts in North America this year resulted in three Grade 1 wins (and he travelled from Ireland and back each time, which says a lot for his constitution and temperament).

Cape Blanco also went three-for-three as a juvenile winning the Tyros Stakes (G3) and Futurity Stakes (G2), while at three he took the Irish Derby (G1), Irish Champion Stakes (G1) and Dante Stakes (G1).

His dam, who also produced the US multiple graded winner Mr. O’Brien, was a sprint specialist and is a half-sister to the fast Paris House. She has a US connection as she is a grand-daughter of General Assembly, one of the best racing sons of Secretariat, and out of mare by the Round Table horse, Artaius.

This is a pedigree that sets up some interesting linebreeding to multiples of the Nasrullah/Princequillo cross.

Courageous Cat b. 2006 Storm Cat – Tranquility Lake (Rahy) Lane’s End Farm, Kentucky, $10,000Courageous Cat was a specialist turf miler, who was a graded winner at three, four and five, and a Grade 1 performer in each of those years.

His victories included the 2011 Shoemaker Mile (G1), National Museum of Racing Hall of Fame Stakes (G2), Candian Turf Stakes (G3) and Poker Stakes (G3), while he was also second in the Breeders’ Cup Mile (G1) and Woodbine Mile (G1).

Likely to be one of the major stakes-winning sons of Storm Cat to retire to stud, Courageous Cat is a brother to the multiple Grade 1 winner After Market (a stakes sire with his first crop two-year-olds in 2011), and to UAE graded winner Jalil.

His dam, the multiple Grade 1-winning Tranquility Lake, is by Rahy, which means that Courageous Cat is bred on the same cross as two-time leading sire Giant’s Causeway. Tranquility Lake is a half-sister to the over-achieving California sire Benchmark, and her dam is a graded stakes-placed half-sister to

Belmont Stakes (G1) victor, Caveat.

Court Vision dk.b./br.h. 2005 Gulch – Weekend Storm (Storm Bird) Park Stud, Ontario, Canada, CAN$10,000 A graded stakes winner every year from two through to six, and a Grade 1 winner in each of his last four seasons, Court Vision ended his career with a victory in the Breeders’ Cup Mile (G1).

He also won seven other graded stakes, including a pair of contests at that level on the dirt at two, the Hollywood Derby (G1) at three, the Shadwell Turf Mile (G1) at four and the Woodbine Mile (G1) and Gulfstream Park Turf Handicap (G1) at five. By the former champion sprinter and successful sire Gulch, Court Vision is full or three-parts brother to three other stakes winners. He is also a brother to Kipling, a minor winner who sired the Breeders’ Cup Turf (G1) victor Kip Deville while standing in Oklahoma.

This is about as strong a stallion family as you are going to want to find as Court Vision’s dam is a sister to Preakness Stakes (G1) victor Summer Squall (sire of dual Classic winner and champion Charismatic), and half-sister to A.P. Indy, the leading sire of Classic distance runners in the US in recent times.

In total, there are actually 13 horses in the first three dams who have sired a Group or Grade 1 winner, the others including Belmont Stakes (G1) winner and champion older horse Lemon Drop Kid, and South African champion sire Al Mufti.

Drosselmeyer, ch. 2007 Distorted Humor – Golden Ballet (Moscow Ballet) WinStar Farm, Kentucky $17,500Just like Court Vision, Drosselmeyer came up with a career-defining farewell effort at the Breeders’ Cup meeting when he charged late to score a long-shot victory in the Classic (G1).

Winner of the Belmont Stakes (G1) at three, Drosselmeyer had been slated to retire to stand in New York – where the state-bred programme is surging, following the opening of a casino at Aqueduct – but that plan was revised following his triumph in the Classic.

Drosselmeyer is unusual for a top-class US runner in that all of his stakes wins came over 1m2f or further.

Paradoxically his pedigree is a speedy one. His sire, Distorted Humor – who is the leading sire in the US for 2011, after finishing among the leaders on several other occasions – was a sprinter/miler type, who set a track-record for 7f, while his dam Golden Ballet (by Moscow Ballet, a son of Nijinsky and out of a half-sister to Mill Reef) won a stakes at

Drosselmeyer: a middle-distance stakes winner

4f110yds, was a graded winner at 7f, and a Grade 1 winner at a mile and at 8f110yds.

It’s going to be interesting to see whether Drosseleyer’s race-record or pedigree proves to be the predominant factor in his offspring, and we’re also intrigued at his prospects when crossed with mares carrying Storm Cat.

Gio Ponti b. 2005 Tale Of The Cat – Chipeta Springs (Alydar)Castleton Lyons, Kentucky, $20,000This tough and durable turf runner earned over $6,000,000, and twice gained honours as champion turf horse, as well as the champion older horse.

Effective from a mile to 1m2f, he scored 11 of his 12 wins in stakes events, including the Woodford Reserve Bourbon Stakes at two, the Arlington Million Stakes (G1), Manhattan Handicap (G1), Frank E. Kilroe Mile Handicap (G1), as well as the Shadwell Turf Mile (G1) and the Man O’ War Stakes (G1), both races he won twice.

Gio Ponti is by Storm Cat’s very consistent son Tale Of The Cat, and out of the stakes-placed Alydar mare Chipeta Springs, also the dam of stakes winners Fisher Pond and Bon Jovi Girl.

The second dam Salt Spring, a Grade 1 winner in Argentina and a Graded winner in the US, is from the family of champion Cigar.

Girolamo dkb./br. 2006 A.P. Indy – Get Lucky (Mr. Prospector) Sequel Stallions New York, New York $15,000 The highest profile of the new stallions retiring to take advantage of the resurgent New York programme is Girolamo.

Winner of a 7f Saratoga maiden at two, Girolamo was believed to be a Classic candidate. However, he turned out to be a sprinter/miler, and in that role won the mile Jerome Handicap (G2) at three, and the 6f Vosburgh Stakes (G1) at four.

While speed proved to be his forte, Girolamo is certainly Classically bred. By A.P. Indy out of the graded stakes-winning Mr. Prospector mare Get Lucky – which means that he’s bred on the same cross as Pulpit, Malibu Moon and Mineshaft – Girolamo is a brother to graded winners Daydreaming and Accelerator, as well as to the dams of Kentucky Derby (G1) winner Maria’s Mon, and Kentucky Derby (G1) second Bluegrass Cat, who moved to New York this year after making a useful start with his first two crops.

The second dam Dance Number is a Grade 1 winner by Northern Dancer out of champion Numbered Account, and is half-sister to Private Account.

Haynesfield ch. 2006 Speightstown – Nothing Special (Tejabo) Airdrie Stud, Kentucky, $10,000A member of the first crop of champion sprinter Speightstown, best-known in Europe as the sire of Lord Shanakill and Bapak Chinta, Haynesfield outstayed his pedigree when leading from start to finish of the 1m2f Jockey Club Gold Cup (G1), scoring by 4l from that season’s Horse of the Year, Blame.

Haynesfield won seven other stakes at two, three, four and five, including the Suburban Handicap (G2) and the Discovery Handicap (G3). The dam, a stakes-winning daughter of the Deputy Minister stallion Tejabo, is from the same sire line and family as the Belmont Stakes (G1) winner, Touch Gold.

Paddy O’Prado gr./ro. 2007 El Prado – Fun House (Prized) Spendthrift Farm, Kentucky, $15,000 A stakes performer all three years he raced, Paddy O’Prado showed rare versatility as a three-year-old with Grade 1 performances

on dirt when third in the Kentucky Derby (G1), on the all-weather when second in the Blue Grass Stakes (G1) and on turf, a surface on which he was the top second-season performer with four graded stakes wins, including the Secretariat Stakes (G1), Virginia Derby (G2) and Colonial Turf Cup (G2).

He looked set for another good season in 2011 when he took the Dixie Stakes (G2) first time out, but suffered a career-ending injury in the race.

Paddy O’Prado is by El Prado, a champion two-year-old in Ireland and a subsequent leading sire in the US, who is now building a reputation as a sire of sires with Medaglia D’Oro and Kitten’s Joy.

Sidney’s Candy ch. 2007 Candy Ride – Fair Exchange (Storm Cat) WinStar Farm, Kentucky $15,000Sidney’s Candy set a new track-record for 5f on the All-Weather when breaking his maiden at two. He went on to win five graded stakes in eight starts at three, including

the Santa Anita Derby (G1), and added the Fourstardave Handicap (G2) on grass at four.

Sidney’s Candy is by Candy Ridge, an undefeated champion in Argentina, who went three-for-three in the US, wins which included victory in the Pacific Classic (G1).

A grandson of Cryptoclearance and from the Fappiano branch of the Mr. Prospector line, Candy Ride has made a tremendous start at stud with 25 stakes winners, six of which have come at Grade 1 level in his first four, relatively inexpensively sired, crops.

Sidney’s Candy is out of Fair Exchange, a daughter of Storm Cat (the Storm Cat line has provided the dams of three Candy Ride Grade 1 winners) and the three-time Grade 1 winner Exchange. The fourth dam Crelita produced Canadian champions Steady Growth and Kingsbridge, and was Crepello’s daughter from a family that emerged from Royal Studs.

Tizway dk.b./br. 2005 Tiznow – Bethany (Dayjur) Spendthrift Farm, Kentucky, $25,000Although he was third in the Jockey Club Gold Cup (G1) at four, and won the Kelso Handicap (G2) and was Grade 1 placed at five, it was last year, as a six-year-old, that Tizway really came to himself.

With his wins in the Metropolitan Mile Handicap (G1) – the second-fastest ever renewal of the race, less than a tenth outside the race record – and Whitney Invitational Handicap (G1), which he took by 4l, Tizway established himself as a leading candidate for honours as champion older horse.

He is by Tiznow, a dual Breeders’ Cup Classic (G1) victor, Horse of the Year at three, and champion older horse at four, and the main

hope for the survival of the Man O’ War line.His dam is by Dayjur and out of stakes

winner Willamae, the dam of three stakes winners, including Grade 1 scorers Will’s Way and Willa On The Move, as well as the good regional sire, Citidancer.

Twirling Candy dk.b./br. 2007 Candy Ride – House Of Danzig (Chester House) Lane’s End Farm, Kentucky, $15,000Like Sidney’s Candy, Twirling Candy is a record-breaking son of Candy Ride, breaking a 7f mark set by Spectacular Bid in the Malibu Stakes (G1). That victory by Twirling Candy came at the end of a three-year-old season in which he won four of his five starts, including victories in the Oceanside Stakes and Del Mar Derby (G2) on turf.

At four, he won the Strub Stakes (G2) on dirt, the California Stakes (G2) on the All-

Weather and finished second in the Pacific Classic (G1).

He has some pretty classy antecendents on the distaff side too as his grand-dam is by Danzig

and out of a Seattle Slew mare (who produced graded winner

Chocolate Candy by Candy Ride), whose dam is a three-parts sister to Triple Crown hero Affirmed.

Trappe Shot, ch. 2007 Tapit – Shopping (Private Account) Claiborne Farm,

Kentucky, $10,000 Trappe Shot is a son of the remarkable breakout sire, Tapit. Winner of the Wood Memorial

Stakes (G1) in a brief career Tapit – a son of the A.P. Indy stallion, Pulpit – started at a very modest stud fee, but has sired 32 stakes winners, 17 graded and six Grade 1, in his first four crops.

Trappe Shot proved himself among the best of the Tapit’s colts that we’ve seen so far. A three he won the 8f100yd Long Branch Stakes, and took second in the Haskell Invitational Handicap (G1) over 1m1f.

Last year, at four he shortened up to do his best work over 6f winning the Waldoboro Stakes and True North Handicap (G2) – by over 8l – and missing by just a nose in the Alfred G. Vanderbilt Handicap (G1).

Trappe Shot’s dam, a daughter of Private Account, has produced three other stakes winners, including the Grade 1-winning millionaire, Miss Shop. The grand-dam is closely related to Wavering Monarch, best-known as sire of champion two-year-old and very successful sire, Maria’s Mon.

Uncle Mo 2008 Indian Charlie – Playa Maya (Arch) Ashford Stud, Kentucky, $35,000Uncle Mo was one of the most spectacular juveniles that we’ve seen in the US for some time going undefeated in three starts with wins, including the Champagne Stakes (G1) by four and three-quarter lengths and the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile (G1), also by over 4l.

Unfortunately, illness sabotaged his three-year-old season, but he was able to return and show that he was as good, if not better, than ever.

Beaten only a nose by subsequent Breeders’ Cup Dirt Mile (G1) winner Caleb’s Posse,in the King’s Bishop Stakes (G1) when returning from the break, Uncle Mo looked impressive when beating older horses in the Kelso Handicap (G2), running the best Beyer Speed-figure of the year by a three-year-old, and the best by any horse at a mile or more.

Uncle Mo is a son of Indian Charlie (by In Excess, a grandson of Caro), who won three races, including the Santa Anita Derby (G1), and finished third in the Kentucky Derby (G1) in four starts.

Indian Charlie, who died last December, had worked his way from modest beginnings, to becoming a leading commercial sire. He’s also responsible for two other US champions in Indian Blessing (champion two-year-old filly, and champion filly sprinter) and Fleet Indian (champion older mare).

Uncle Mo is completely free of Mr. Prospector, and his sire had a remarkable affinity for Mr. Prospector line mares, getting 21 stakes winners on the cross, and out of mares by 17 different broodmare sires.

Uncle Mo was one of the most spectacular juveniles

that we’ve seen in the US for some time

Which was the best first-season sire in 2011?

Jocelyn de Moubray compares results and uses ratings to find an answer


first-season sires 2011

ASTALLION’S FIRST TWO-YEAR-OLD runners more or less determine his commercial future. There are numerous examples of top-class stallions whose first two-year-olds

disappointed, and once the market has turned against a stallion it is difficult to turn this conception around.

There are also examples of leading first-season sires whose progeny became a disappointment after a stellar first year, the

best recent example being Fasliyev whose fee soared to €75,000 after he became champion first-season sire in 2003, only to disappoint every breeder who used him from then on.

In an attempt to make some sense of the statistics for 2011’s first-season sires, the

Caspar Netscher: the best by Dutch Art last year. The Cheveley Park Stud stallion is already looking as though he will be primarily a two-year-old sire

rating of 95 or higher

“

“equivalent statistics for Galileo, Dansili and Oasis Dream in their first-season are included in the table above.

Oasis Dream was clearly an outstanding sire of two-year-olds from the word go and none of the 2011 generation of England and Irish-based sires could match the 21 per cent of his runners who achieved a rating of 95 or higher.

Galileo has never been primarily a two-year-old sire, but more than seven per cent of his first two-year-old runners did achieve a rating of 95 or higher and fewer than a third of his first crop ran at two.

Dansili took time to establish his place among Europe’s best sires, but his first two-year-olds did include some with a high rating and, if it would have been difficult to predict he was going to the very top, he looked to be at least a useful sire after his first runners.

The numbers’ game: good or bad thing?Stallions compete in a contest with severe handicaps. Those who stand at higher prices tend, of course, to attract better quality mares, but the differences in numbers covered are also huge.

Dylan Thomas and Manduro have nearly three times as many foals in their first crop as Sir Percy, for instance, and then looking at the numbers of mares covered in their second and third years at stud the Coolmore and Darley sires Teofilo, Excellent Art, Authorized, Dylan Thomas and Manduro have a significant advantage in numbers over their rivals.

Numbers are not always a positive thing and it is the proportion of two-year-old runners from their first crop that is the important figure.

Among the breed as a whole only 80 per cent of foals make it to the racecourse and so those sires, who have had already had 55 per cent or more runners to foals, will have to make their reputation in 2012 more or less with horses who have already run.

Dark Angel, Amadeus Wolf, Dutch Art and Excellent Art all look as if they are going to be primarily two-year-old sires – Dutch Art has an impressive ratio of winners-to-runners, while Excellent Art has a high proportion of useful runners to date.

Among the faster stallions Cockney Rebel has made a respectable start, but his lack of foals to come will make it difficult to establish a position.

It is also worth pointing out that Sir Percy looks, from the small sample of his first foals, to be producing stock like the Dewhurst Stakes winner he was, rather than the Derby winner he became – though it is still possible that his progeny will combine both aptitudes as he did himself. Nearly half of Sir Percy’s small first crop ran at two with a high proportion of winners-to-runners and in Coquet and Alla Speranza he has two high-

class prospects for 2012.Lawman also had a high proportion of

runners, but it may well turn out that like him they are not really precocious horses. Several of the Lawmans who showed promise early in the year disappointed later, whereas his best three-year-old prospects look to be horses such as Most Improved and Loi, both of whom made only three starts at two.

Teofilo looks to be a similar case as although a high proportion of his foals ran at two, his proportion of winners-to-runners was not that of a two-year-old sire and it is likely that his best three-year-olds will improve significantly on what they achieved at two.

Teofilo’s best runners to date are the Dewhurst winner Parish Hall and the leading German two-year-old Black Arrow.

Jeremy was a winner at two himself, but was much better at three and it looks as if his progeny will follow suit as a small proportion of his foals ran at two, but they include the useful fillies Yellow Rosebud and Princess Sinead.

Among the potential middle-distance stallions Manduro, Dylan Thomas and

Rail Link have shown enough to encourage hope for the future.

Manduro has made a most impressive start and if there is going to be a Galileo among this generation he is, at this stage, the most likely candidate. The son of Monsun has a Group 1 winner already in Mandean and another Group 1 performer in Bonfire, who had no luck in running in the Criterium International.

Manduro’s other winners include Kolonel, who beat a subsequent Group winner on his only start at Baden-Baden, and then the useful-looking French maiden winners in Salez and Trois Lunes.

To be a commercial success Manduro will need a big winner in England or Ireland, but then three-quarters of his first crop have yet to run and he has more large crops to come in the future.

Dylan Thomas is not a sire of precocious horses, but he improved a great deal from two to three and his progeny may yet do so as well. He had some promising winners at the end of the year, notably Shembara in France. Rail Link did not race at two himself but got seven two-year-old winners, included a good filly in Italy and some promising looki ng winners in England and Ireland.

Among the potential middle-distance stallions Manduro, Dylan Thomas and Rail Link have shown enough to

encourage hope for the future““

Sir Percy’s stock seem to be taking after his own juvenile precocity (seen

here when winning the Dewhurst) rather than his Derby-winning middle-distance ability

AS RacInG’S caLendaR YeaR closed with the Far East majors, it was simple to find a hook on which to review the outcome of the Japan Cup and Hong Kong’s four-pronged

December International meeting... the success of the Japanese and, somewhat more surprisingly, the German-bred horse.

This has clearly been no fluke. The Japanese have constantly strived to upgrade their racing and breeding stock since the early 1990s while, more recently, the injection of stallion speed into stout German-bred or German-acquired mares has seen their stocks soar immeasurably.

You could well argue that it all began in Japan with the purchase and installation of Sunday Silence. He may be long gone (2002) but his influence remains pervasive and the Japan Cup win of his bonny grand-daughter Buena Vista was a further reminder of this.

Maybe nothing in this world is deserved but you could mount (pardon the pun) a strong case for Buena Vista’s success given that she was controversially denied the 2010 prize on protest. And what could be more appropriate than 100,000 faithful locals cheering on the “beautiful view” from the Fuji View grandstand with the iconic snow-capped mountain of the same name providing the backdrop.

But we digress. We’ve become accustomed to Japanese success around the globe. But, here for the Cup, the reminder of Germany’s progress was the appearance of the German-bred, arc-winning filly danedream, who started favourite.

She could finish only sixth but a tardy getaway, more damning than the margin of a length or so, proved costly and perhaps she had been taken to the well once too often. Time may tell on that. But, nonetheless, she rounded off the year with an exceptional

rating. And in this instance there’s no doubt she deserves the tag.

Just a few days earlier her one-time stablemate and German-bred Sanagas had won the Hollywood Turf Cup at Group 1 level. He’s now on his way to Australia with his new owners no doubt influenced, in some way, to aim him at the 2012 Melbourne Cup after compatriot Lucas Cranach was able to run a brave third in the 2011 edition of Flemington’s famous 2m handicap, despite

complications with a quarter crack in his lead-up.

After Japan, it was on to Hong Kong where the lightly raced German-bred Zazou was widely dismissed in the Hong Kong International Cup, but ran an excellent third behind highly rated local California Memory. Zazou has also been a target for Australian buyers, but the asking price doubled or tripled in the matter of two minutes in Hong Kong.

The 2011 performances of these four horses made it quite a year for the red, black and yellow (and why don’t horses carry their national colours when competing internationally?) but “wait, there’s more” as the German Thoroughbred Marketing website was happy to trumpet – as follows.

“What a year this has been for the German breeding industry!” First, there was Animal Kingdom (out of a German mare bought at the BBAG October Sale) winning the Grade 1 Kentucky Derby. Then there was Masked Marvel (bred by the German-owned Newsells Park Stud and out of a mare from one of Germany’s most distinguished families) winning the Group 1 St. Leger. Finally Danedream, the ugly duckling sold for just €9,000 at the BBAG Breeze-Up in May of last year) winning the Group 1 Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe.

Incidentally, German Thoroughbred Marketing was only established in 2009 while most other jurisdictions (perhaps most notably Ireland, Kentucky, New Zealand and Australia) have been vigorously pushing their product through structured marketing arms for many years. The German push may well gather further momentum.

The Germans succumbed to the Japanese in Tokyo this year, but most (nations) have in recent years with Sunday Silence and the sons of Sunday Silence leading the way.

through 1995 to 2007, the champion Japan sire of two-year-olds through all the years from 1994 to 2005, bar 2006, the champion Japan sire of broodmares in 2007, 2008, 2009 and – best of all – he’s had more than 170 stakes winners at last count.

Buena Vista is by the great sire’s son Special Week and just on 104,000 fans saw the mare win the race for the home team for the sixth straight year and for the ninth time since 2000 which, I fancy, speaks more to the improvement of the Japanese breed than any dilution of the international challenge.

AS MENTIONED, it was no less an animal than the Arc winner Danedream who led the overseas assault this year, but she could do no better than be the first visitor home.

Shareta was one place behind just as she was in the Arc. She was foaled just one day after Danedream so perhaps this is her destiny. The Irish-bred Sarah Lynx and the US’s Mission Approved were just not good enough.

While only two internationals took on the revered Deep Impact in 2006, there’s been a minimum of four and as many as eight overseas runners in the five years since.

No wrap of the Japan Cup and Hong meetings would be complete without reference to Australian jockey Craig Williams.

He gave Tosen Jordan an outstanding ride

from a horror draw, but had to be content with second prize in the Japan Cup. Less than a month later, he piloted unbeaten juvenile colt Alfredo (yes, out of a Sunday Silence mare) to a 2l victory over his 15 rivals in the Group 1 Asahi Hai Futurity Stakes at Nakayama. The win was the sixth Group 1 victory for Williams in the past three months: in australia he’d won the Sir Rupert clarke Stakes on Toorak Toff, the caulfield Cup on Southern Speed, the Cox Plate on Pinker Pinker and the Railway Stakes on Ortensia.

And, of course, he won the Hong Kong International Vase on Dunaden after a careless riding suspension had denied him the Melbourne Cup on the same horse – with Christophe Lemaire filling the void on that occasion.

The strong performance of the Hong Kong-trained horses in all races continued at Sha Tin in

2011 with three winners. It speaks well of the continued improvement of standards in the Special administrative Region of China even allowing for the fact that there were a greater number of runners from Hong Kong and, of course, a home ground advantage.

The three Hong Kong winners Able One, California Memory and Lucky Nine all hail from distant shores – New Zealand, the US and Ireland. There is, of course, no breeding industry in Hong Kong and yet it is arguably the most successful racing industry in the world.

The Hong Kong International races may not necessarily have the depth of class of a Breeders’ Cup, but the standard of competitor makes the boast of World Turf championships less than entirely fanciful and it certainly attracts a greater diversity of competitor.

And the results generally indicate that the British and French don’t necessarily have to yet panic about a resurgent Japan and a rebuilding Germany. Especially when it comes to staying horses.

The Cup, at 2000m, has seen the combined English and French raiders boast six wins and 17 placings while The Vase, at 2400m, has been dominated by the Europeans with the two nations separated by the Channel having 15 winners – six from Great Britain and nine from France.

dunaden, who along with Makfi has crafted an international reputation for trainer Mikel Delzangles, was an outstanding winner of the Vase, which reaffirmed that these days you need a decent horse to win the Melbourne Cup but ideally one who is not too exposed before he gets to Flemington.

He’s well “shelved” now and whether he returns to Melbourne is in the hands of the handicapper. Whether he returns to Hong Kong may well hinge on his progress in Europe.

The nine-year-old Able One, with 50-year-old Jeff Lloyd in the saddle, took the Hong Kong Mile at 66-1. Virtually the same price as John Moore’s 2008 Sprint winner Inspiration. I’m not too sure what to make of that race form, but I will be interested

to follow the progress of the runner-up cityscape who sat five deep, without cover, and still managed to run second. It was a herculean performance.

California Memory won the Cup for Hong Kong legend Tony Cruz and his young Chinese jockey Matthew Chadwick, who was adopted and raised by English school teachers. Irian was an excellent second – as he was the year before behind Snow Fairy – charging late from the tail. The race was marred by a slow pace. “I think Irian should have won,” said trainer Moore.

Lucky Nine, returning from an unsuccessful mid-year assault on the Sprinters Stakes in Japan, won the Hong Kong International Sprint for Caspar Fownes and Brett Prebble. Once again the European contenders came up way short in the Sprint – although some comfort may be taken from the winner being an Irish-bred.

The harsh reality, if you’re having a bet, is to simply treat European sprinters as “scratchings” if they're competing outside europe. You will finish a long way in front.

The other harsh reality is that while Japanese racing is struggling with crowds and turnover – like so many other parts of the world – this is in marked contrast to Hong Kong. The 2010-11 season saw double figure plus percentage growth in turnover (plus crowd increases) and the early indicators see growth likely to be exceeded in 2011-2012.

A crowd of 100,000 plus for the Japan Cup is hardly a disaster and a figure which clubs in many other countries would covet. However, from a record high of 187,000 in 1995 the attendance now hovers around the 100,000 mark and the turnover figure in 2010 was less half that of 1995.

“The economy has been a factor but sadly, like many places, the interest in horseracing in Japan has declined,” reports prominent commentator Naohiro Goda.

With a capacity of 223,000, the racecourse comfortably copes with a crowd of half that number. There is none of the hustle and bustle you might associate with anything in Tokyo (population 12 million plus).

The huge expanse of the track lends itself to easy movement and while most of the crowd is immersed in the form and backing a winner, with formguides and bottoms spread on the bitumen concourse (for those without a grandstand seat), it is not frenetic.

Mind you, they can make some noise. A crescendo of 100,000 people clapping in harmony and then letting out an almighty roar is spine-tingling as the horses begin to load. And the winner is hailed with massive cheering, which seems to come more from the sporting heart than the hip pocket. A trip to the Japan Cup is worthwhile for this alone, while the ever-bustling Hong Kong provides a great raceday; the best morning trackwork you’ll ever experience and a fantastic meeting place (often an annual catch-up) for breeders, owners, trainers, jockeys, official and fans from all over the globe.

Might be one or two more Germans there and elsewhere, in the years ahead, I fancy.

ThE TouGh TrEkkinG around winter British jumps tracks has long gone for former nh jockey Mark richards, who rode the winners of over 300 races. richards has been based in hong kong for more than ten years now and today holds

arguably one of the most interesting jobs in racing as the executive manager of the hong kong Jockey Club international Sale.

During the busy Cathay Pacific international race week in December, Mark richards took time out to tell Katherine Ford about his experience in the former colony, the buying of horses for the international Sale and racing in one of the world’s leading racing nations.

How did you find yourself in Hong Kong ? When I finished race-riding in June 1999, I had done almost seven years’ of TV work with the racing channel and Sky.

I knew that I was going to go into television, but I didn’t expect to get the call to go to Hong Kong. Aussie commentator Jim McGrath asked me if I’d ever thought of going to Hong Kong? My response was: “To do what?” and he said they were looking for someone to present the racing on the tv.

I needed a change, and decided to give it a go. My intention was to come for a just a year or two, but, after a few months, it became very easy to stay.

I enjoyed my job; here you have the opportunity to be very open and frank. Everything is about tipping, and being right

more often than wrong. I tipped a horse on our preview programme

and it won at 270/1… so from then on it was fairly easy going!

How easy was it to adapt to the Hong Kong lifestyle?It took a while… Having lived in the countryside virtually all my life, finding myself in the middle of a city that never sleeps was tough!

The hardest thing was adapting to the size of living accommodation – I felt like I was climbing the walls of my single bedroom apartment.

To be honest I hated the first six months – not the job, just the feeling of being enclosed. But now, I am totally used to the buzz and the 24/7 lifestyle.

How much has racing in Hong Kong evolved since your arrival?When I came, the international races were not as big as they are now. A lot of the credit must go to Winfried Engelbert-Bresges, he set about improving the racing product and class of horse in Hong Kong.

When Hong Kong horses started to travel and win abroad, the rest of the world sat up to take notice.

Now the standard of our racing today is tremendous. A Class 2 race here is equivalent to a Listed race anywhere else. It’s competitive, exciting racing where the first five are often covered by half a length.

The public are into betting and sometimes need a little help in realising that it’s a sport as well and that horses are living creatures not motorbikes, but they are passionate about racing.

How has your position within the HKJC evolved? Four years ago I was asked to become manager of The Racing club. This club is aimed at young, wealthy Hong Kong inhabitants, and the objective is to educate, inform and entertain.

I was given the opportunity to buy the three horses racing for the club. We had a very good horse called Young elite, who ended up on an international rating of 114. Unfortunately he bled and if a horse bleeds twice when racing in Hong Kong, they’re out. He’s now being retrained as a riding horse. It’s a shame as elsewhere in the world he’d

have been a Group performer, but he gave the members a lot to shout about and plenty of successes.

When Mark Player, the former Head of International Races, Sale and development, decided to return to Australia, I was asked to take over this side of the job. It’s brought me back where I come from, far more closely associated with the horses. It’s an opportunity to prove whether you’re good or not… and you’re only as good as the last one you buy in this business. With the yearlings it takes a little longer to find out, but hopefully we’re buying nice racehorses. The feedback from the consigners we’ve used around the world is that we’ve got a decent bunch.

My first sale will be in March where 60 or 70 per cent of the horses were purchased by me and I was present with Mark buying the remainder.

We’ve changed the format slightly and will now have two sales each year. The March sale is on the eve of the Derby and then, next December, you’ll see us back again on the Saturday before the international races.

It was felt that the international week didn’t need the extra attraction of the sale, but it’s amazing the number of people who have said they’d like to see it back. So back it is!

Why does the HKJC organise these sales? A lot of Hong Kong people are not experienced in horses, they need somebody knowledgeable to bring horses in. Of course, all horses here are imports, and there is no breeding at

the moment in China, although who knows what the future may hold there...

The club must be responsible and bring in a good enough selection. We all know that you can’t guarantee how a horse will perform if you buy as a yearling, but if we buy a nice type of horse who is correct in limb and sound, then you hope that a percentage of those will become good race horses.

We’ve had plenty in the past – Scintillation was a sales horse, Good Ba Ba too and I hope I can find a few more like that pair!

Members basically get their name drawn out of a hat to become an owner. They are asked to apply and only around 300 per year are successful.

If for some reason an owner’s horse is retired, he can bring in another on a Special

Replacement Permit, within 18 months; but he has to produce a horse with an

international rating of 85 or more. Other permits are PP, a

Performed horse which has raced abroad, or a PPG, a private purchase of an unraced horse, which is the most popular.

With the barrier trials in the southern hemisphere you

have a fair idea of what you’re getting, and as all the races here are handicaps the southern-hemisphere horses start on a mark of 52 and the northern-hemisphere unraced recruits on 57.

It’s a privilege to own a racehorse in Hong Kong and the owners know it is. There is nothing better than being on the end of the rope with your friends for the winners’ photo.Long may that last as it is what makes racing here tick.

Which yearling sales do you cover? It’s a good round-the-world trip! I begin at Arqana in Deauville, then go to Kentucky for the Keeneland Sale, Goffs in Ireland and Tattersalls in the UK.

In the southern-hemisphere we do Magic Millions on the Gold Coast in January, Karaka in New Zealand and the Inglis Melbourne Sales. There’s also Sydney’s Easter Sale; we haven’t been there for a couple of years but it’s always on the agenda.

With the expansion of our sale into two events, we will need more horses and there is a chance we may add the Saratoga sale, which we’ve missed for the last few years.

The horses are also prepared in the region they are bought. Those bought in New Zealand are educated, broken in and prepared in New Zealand, likewise in Australia, while in Europe we are based in the UK. Cash Asmussen is our preparer in America.

Do you have any plans to explore markets such as South America or South Africa? Nowhere is a no-go. As it stands South Africa is difficult with the african Horse Sickness export blockage, but we have bought horses from there in the past and I think that there is very good value for money available. If the veterinary issues can be sorted out we would consider that market.

I think South America is very interesting, and Argentina in particular. The only thing

trip sourcing yearlings for the

International Sale

which makes me anxious is whether they would be quick enough for here as we are predominantly sprinter and miler orientated. I’ve not yet seen a really good South American horse here in Hong Kong and believe that a lot of the best go straight to America.

Are you looking for a particular type of horse?The demand for Hong Kong is to have a varied catalogue to allow owners to purchase what they would like. We want to avoid the cliché of just producing Australian horses, or only promoting horses from England.

I need to fill all sorts of markets; to find a couple of precocious sorts, as well as a potential Hong Kong Derby winner. Owners aren’t looking for a sharp type to give them a quick result, they are also looking for something durable. For instance, tonight at Happy Valley we’ve got a ten-year-old former international sales horse, and I’d like to find more like him too.

They can’t just be early-season juveniles, they have to be bought to stand the test of time. We’re trying to buy an athlete, with durability as well as speed. Not staying prowess, but durability.

We have southern-hemisphere two-year-olds racing and normally the northern-hemisphere youngsters start racing at age three. A lot of trainers even like to receive imports aged four because they are fully matured then.

We are very speed-orientated here, we see plenty of European sprinters come here and they can’t live with our horses. That is why the southern-hemisphere is so predominant in our racing, the Australians are great at producing speed horses. That’s what they’ve been doing for the last 50 years and that’s why they keep winning at Royal ascot.

We consider speed as being up to 1,400 metres; a mile is middle-distance race and for us a staying race is 2,000 metres. We only race over a mile and a half three times in a year.

Do owners approach you with special requests, for instance for a particular sire? Not yet they haven’t. But part of what I do is to pre-empt where the market is going. We generally don’t buy first-season sires. Too many sires are flops and we can’t afford to take those chances. I try to identify what is coming good and bought a Dutch Art this year in Ireland; the stallion has done really well with his first crop.

Unfortunately we won’t get another chance

to have Red clubs progeny, but I bought one at Tattersalls this year.

I like to buy proven sires; Exceed And Excel goes down well here as do horses by encosta de Lago and Fastnet Rock. These are almost guaranteed success as owners have confidence in the breeding. I’m buying to resell. The idea of the international sale is not to make money; it is to provide a service.

How many horses do you buy in a year and has your budget evolved?Between 50 and 55, for the two sales of 20 to 25 horses. I have an annual budget, broken down into different areas. It has remained stable over the last few years, with an increase this year to buy more horses for the two sales.

I’m not a believer in paying top dollar for a pedigree page because, for me, not enough of those top dollar horses become proper racehorses. It still costs to buy a decent-

looking yearling because everyone wants a good-looking youngster, but our priority is to produce racehorses, not future sires, so I don’t get involved in the sales war of trying to buy the next Encosta De Lago or the next Galileo.

How do you analyse the current influx of British horses-in-training to Hong Kong? I think it’s likely to happen more. But the English owner is not somebody who appears to look at the prize-money.

When you think you have a very good offer to buy a horse from Britain, it is never enough! It doesn’t make sense to me that they’re running for nothing, yet want top dollar to sell.

We probably get as many good horses from France as from Britain. The UK is not a selling market.

To top it all off, the northern-hemisphere model is a slightly smaller type of horse; the successful horses in Hong Kong tend to be 1,100lb or more and the only reason I can see for that is that we race very tight and very close. A certain amount of physical effort is needed from the horse.

Between a 980lb horse from Britain against a 1,150lb horse from elsewhere, you know which one will come off best.

It comes down to fundamentals, what do Europeans try to breed? They want Derby winners. I don’t want a Derby winner or a Derby reject; I want a horse with a lot more speed than that.

french sires

The european stallion market is very different indeed from the english and irish one. in england and ireland, led by the yearling market, breeders want to send their mares to stallions likely

to produce precocious horses. the popular stallions, many of which have yet to have

runners, cover more in a season than all but a handful of stallions on the continent will cover in three years.

in europe, the market is not at all the same. in 2010 there

were more than 8,000 foals registered in France,

Germany and italy together, with as many as 5,500 in France.

the majority of the mares with a

commercial value were sent to england and

ireland to be covered. in 2011 there were only

two yearlings by a living French-based sire who

made more than €120,000 at arqana’s yearling sales, compared

with more than 60 by english and irish stallions. stallions based in France and Germany have to make a reputation by covering largely second-class mares and,

Slickly’s attraction was beginning to wane, but the emergence of Meandre in 2011, a Group 1 winner

with a Timeform rating of over 120, should ensure more support

““not surprisingly, as a result they struggle to achieve consistent support, and to gain recognition in the yearling market. they do, however, sire plenty of winners and six of the top ten stallions in France in 2011 were based in France and nine of the top ten in Germany.

aside from the established stallions in both countries there were some promising looking first-season sires in 2011 and over the next few seasons many new sires will have their first runners, together with some high profile imports led by King’s Best, whose first French sired progeny will be two in 2012.

In need of an heir to the throneFrance badly needs a new leading stallion following the deaths of anabaa and Green tune. if one is going to emerge from those who have always stood in France it looks as though it could be Slickly.

Slickly has finished in the top ten sires in France for the last four years. in 2011 he was among the best stallions in France in terms of winners and wins, finished third by prize-

money, and would have been champion sire if owners’ premiums were included.

His first crop included the leading miler Gris De Gris and the support that success attracted meant that the son of linamix has covered around 110 mares a year from 2008 to 2010.

slickly’s attraction was beginning to wane, but the emergence of meandre in 2011, a Group 1 winner with a timeform rating of over 120, should ensure more support over

the next couple of years. the haras du logis-based stallion gets

consistent performers who are usually at their best at distances around a mile, even if meandre’s best performances came over 1m4f when winning the Grand prix de paris and finishing sixth in the Arc.

slickly does get two-year-old winners, his best in 2011 was the five-time winner and listed winner mobaco, but his progeny do tend to improve with age.

french sires


Both at Etreham, but with differing backgroundsAmerican Post and Elusive City retired to stud in 2005. today they are both at the haras d’etreham, but they have had very different careers as stallions.

elusive City spent two years at huma park in ireland and then another three years at the irish national stud before moving to etreham in 2010 following his daughter elusive Wave’s success in the poule d’essai des pouliches.

in 2010, elusive City was the most expensive sire in France at €20,000, and yet the son of elusive Quality still covered as many as 124 mares.

his fee fell to €15,000 for 2011, but elusive City still covered another 139 mares meaning that in 2013 and 2014 there will be plenty of two-year-olds by him running in France.

his last irish-sired crop averaged more than £30,000 and with more than 60 sold in 2011, his revival may even begin in 2012 in england and ireland.

american post retired directly to the haras d'etreham. a Group 1 winner at two in both France and england the son of Bering also

won the poule d'essai des poulains (G1) at three but his racing career was not enough to attract significant support.

In his first three years at stud, American post had only 116 foals, fewer than a popular sire in Ireland will have in his first season. His fourth crop of only 38 two-year-olds in 2011 includes at least three high-class prospects.

american Devil was a brilliant winner of a listed race at longchamp in July and went

on to finish fifth in the Group 1 Prix Jean luc lagardère, less than 2l behind Dabirsim. Chica loca was an impressive winner of a listed race at Baden-Baden, as well as being three-times Group-placed in France, while another filly likely to go on to compete successfully in Group races is lily america, a sister to the disqualified Poule d’Essai winner liliside. she won her last two starts and looked good when successful at toulouse at the beginning of november.

standing at €5,000 again in 2012, american post looks like a great bargain considering his consistent results.

Reputations up in the airVespone is clearly capable of siring a good horse, pain perdu was top class the day he finished third in the Prix du Jockey Club (G1), and of getting good-looking stock, but he is going to struggle to establish a reputation when he will have only 15 three-year-olds and 22 two-year-olds running for him in 2012.

Whipper proved popular on his first season in France covering 114 mares at €7,500 in 2011, but with his first French-sired runners still a long way off, his reputation will depend on the products of the mares he covered in his last years at Ballylinch stud in ireland.

another sire who still looks very promising is the haras du thenney’s Gentlewave. the son of Monsun’s first small crop included several useful horses headed by Genzy, who finished close up in a couple of Classic trials, while his second is headed by the unbeaten dual winner Gentlestorm.

The older generationamong the prominent older sires there are two who have always stood in France, the Haras du Mezeray’s Muhtathir and the haras du Quesnay’s Gold Away.

it may seem an eternity ago that muhtathir was represented by the Group 1 winners Doctor Dino, mauralakana and satwa Queen, but the first of his progeny to be conceived since their successes are three-year-olds in 2012 and his best crop is likely to be the two-year-olds of 2012, which are the result of a €15,000 covering fee.

When Muhtathir first moved to Mezeray he was still a cheap sire and the first two three-year-old crops he produced at the stud were full of winners – he had had 39 winners of 64 races in France up to mid-December – but short on class.

the two-year-olds do look to be a better

IF it is DiFFiCult to establish a stallion in France, the task is even harder in Germany. there are only about 1,000 foals born a year in Germany, and once again most of the mares with a commercial value are

covered abroad. as a result Germany is the last major breeding country where a full book for any stallion is around 40 or 50 mares.

Gestüt schlenderhan’s Monsun is now a 22-year-old, but the farm is confident that he is on good form and ready to cover a restricted book of mares. he may not have a produced a champion for a couple of years, but his results are still excellent and with his daughters being sought after as broodmares all over the world, and his several of his sons looking to be very promising stallions, monsun remains far and away the best stallion on continental europe.

his best three-year-olds of 2011, king of arnor, February sun and Fiorente, remain in training, and then he has several top prospects for 2012, including the andré Fabre-trained pair of masterstroke and Waldlerche, both of whom won their only start, as well as swedish sailor and oojooda, who are both trained by Godolphin.

monsun’s contemporary Lando returned to Germany from France for the 2011 season, and his French-sired progeny continue to compete at the highest international level. scalo and ivory land both won Group races, while the three-year-old filly Haya Landa was fourth in the prix de Diane (G1).

Areion, a son of Big Shuffle, is not a young sire, but he has made a reputation from only small crops. he moved to Gestüt auenquelle in 2011 and covered his largest book to date by far. the best of his progeny

to date is the remarkable mare Vanjura, the winner of 11 of her 18 starts, including Group races in Germany, italy and turkey. his 2011 two-year-olds include le roi, a Werner Baltromei-trained colt who won his only start in Compiegne.

Sholokhov leading the chargethe younger German-based sires are headed by Sholokhov and Lord Of England at Gestüt Eztean, Samum at Gestüt karlshof and then Mamool, who stands at Gestüt Graditz.

sholokhov is a son of sadler’s Wells whose best progeny on the Flat are the top racemare night magic, and Germany’s champion two-year-old filly of 2011 Monami, who was a most impressive winner of a Group 3 at Baden-Baden. sholokhov is also a leading sire of jumps horses in France.

Lord Of England is a son of Eztean’s veteran sire Dashing Blade, who has made an

excellent start with his first two crops. His first crop of three-year-olds included

the Group winner theo Danon and several stakes horses, while his second crop is headed by pakal, who was second in the Group 1 Criterium international in saint Cloud.

samum is a son of monsun who has had five crops of three-year-olds to race, but each of them has been small. remarkably, samum has produced four Group 1 winners – kamsin and Baila me, Be Fabulous and Durban thunder, who both won Group 1s in 2011.

Be Fabulous improved dramatically at the end of 2011 winning the prix royal oak (G1) easily and will race for Godolphin in 2012.

samum will have a chance to establish an international reputation over the next couple of years as he has at least 30 three-year-olds to run for him in 2013 and 2014.

the same cannot be said of mamool, a son of in the Wings who won Group 1s in Germany for Godolphin, whose fourth and fifth crops born in 2010 and 2011 number less than 25 foals between them.

Mamool’s first two crops have been impressive, and include the 2011 German 1,000 Guineas winner lips poison as well as the German Group 2 winner lucas Cranach, who was third in the melbourne Cup.

The “In The Wings” influencein the Wings is going to be an important influence in Germany as aside from Mamool another son, Soldier Hollow, has made a spectacular start as a first-season sire in 2011, while the German Derby winner Adlerflug will have his first yearlings in 2012.

Soldier Hollow stood his first four years

group and include two interesting prospects in the filly La Peinture, unbeaten in three starts for Jean Claude seroul, and the colt Qizween, who has won twice in two starts for Damian de Watrigant.

Gold Away is the same age as muhtathir, both were born in 1995, and has also been through two complete commercial cycles.

By a miracle the son of Goldneyev produced an international champion Alexander Goldrun in his first crop, however by his fourth year at stud Gold away was

producing less than 30 foals. the success of alexander Goldrun attracted

mares and as a result there was a new group of impressive winners headed by the Group 1 winner Full of Gold. Gold away will have more than 80 three-year-olds running in 2012 which are sure to include some high-class winners, but his reputation is likely to fade again as he covered only 32 mares in 2011.

Sinndar was a high profile import when he arrived at the haras de Bonneval in 2006 and for his first three years he

stood at a fee of €20,000. the foals produced included the Group

1-winning two-year-old rosanara, as well as the arc runner up shareta, and yet his star has faded. it is far more a question of image rather than actual results as the sinndars continue to be impressive.

the market believes that sinndar’s stock are too backward – yet he has produced as many Group 1-winning two-year-olds as acclamation – and that his colts are not as good as his fillies, yet four of his best nine

at Gestüt rottgen, but moved to Gestüt auenquelle for the 2012 season. soldier hollow was a good two-year-old himself who went on to win Group 1 races at four, five and seven years old.

His first two-year-olds have made a real

impression in Germany with six winners, several placed horses and a handful of high-class prospects.

pastorius won a Group 3 at krefeld in november, with two other sons of soldier hollow in third and fourth, while

another son kassiano won his only start at Fontainebleau.

Soldier Hollow’s fillies include the Group-placed Dessau and lady of Budysin, a three-parts sister to lucas Cranach, who won a valuable sales race.

progeny by rating are colts – Youmzain, aqaleem, Visindar and laristan against the fillies Shawanda, Shareta and Rosanara. sinndar is another French-based sire who represents fantastic value for those who are breeding to race.

King’s Best: the future?the big question mark for the older stallions in France is King’s Best. the haras du logis son of kingmambo has covered a great number of mares by French standards and for

three years at €15,000. King’s Best’s first French-bred horses

are two-year-olds in 2012 having started out his stud career in ireland covering large books of mares at €35,000. His first yearling crops were well received and averaged over £80,000, however by 2009 his yearling average had dropped below £20,000.

the stallion has sired numerous top horses, no fewer than six colts rated 120 or higher, and yet his record is not, overall, that of an expensive stallion. this could still change as

it is likely his progeny will be better suited to the French racing programme than the english and irish one.

king’s Best is a very ordinary sire of two-year-olds and many of his best horses such as Workforce, proclamation, Creachadoir, Best name and eishin Flash either didn’t race at two or ran only once or twice as juveniles.

even if king’s Best has great success with three-year-olds and older horses in France, it will not necessarily change the value of his yearlings in a market dominated by

precocious horses, but it will make him a popular stallion in France.

The first-season threeThree French first-season sires made promising starts in 2011 with their first two-year-olds, but the revelation was without any doubt the haras de Colleville’s Kendargent.

kendargent is a son of kendor out of a linamix mare who raced in the colours of Guy pariente, the owner of the haras de Colleville. at two, kendargent showed promise finishing second at Saint-Cloud but he did not break his maiden until april as a three-year-old.

he went on to be beaten a head by kentucky Dynamite in a Group 3 over a mile and was then fourth to stormy river and kentucky Dynamite in the Group 1 prix Jean prat.

His profile does not show the obvious credentials for a stallion and he had only 19 foals in his first crop, about half of whom were bred by pariente himself. however, they included four winners and two of the best two-year-olds in France.

it seemed to be a miracle when restiadargent beat her stable companion kendam to win the Group 3 prix d’arenberg over 5f at Maisons-Laffitte in September, but both fillies progressed from this performance. kendam went on to win the Group 3 prix Eclipse over 6f and then finished fifth, beaten only 2l, in the Group 1 Criterium international over a mile.

restiadargent, who had made her debut in march, went on to win the 6f Group 2 Criterium de Maisons Laffitte by a wide margin beating runners from england, Germany and italy as well as her locally trained rivals.

kendargent has since been syndicated and his new shareholders include the Wildenstein family, the Wertheimer brothers and other leading breeders. he stands at €4,000 in 2012.

a sample of only 17 foals can be misleading, but then few sires have two Group winners in their first crop, even with a 100 plus foals.

Turtle Bowl and Stormy River can not match the results of kendargent, but then nor can any other first-season sire in Europe.

turtle Bowl’s reputation to date rests upon the impressive Group 1 winner French Fifteen, the winner of five of his seven starts at two, including the Criterium international. French Fifteen will continue his career in the colours of sheikh abdulla al thani, but stays in training with nicholas Clement.

the remainder of turtle Bowl’s progeny look to be backward horses and so everything could change in 2012, but then most stallions wait throughout their career to produce a horse as good as French Fifteen.

stormy river is also not going to be primarily a sire of two-year-olds. nearly half of his first crop ran at two, but many of these only ran once for experience at the end of the year.

Aside from his Group-placed filly Barbayam, stormy river produced several other useful horses, and the ones who did race early on managed to hold their form.

Turtle Bowl and Stormy River can not match the results of Kendargent, but then nor can any other

first-season sire in Europe

racing for change in france


EriC puerari is concerned for the future of French racing and breeding. it may appear to be surprising that France’s racing and breeding professionals believe they are facing a crisis, but puerari is far from alone

in thinking that the beginning of a new term of office for France Galop’s President in January 2012 is an opportunity for change which the French racing business cannot afford to ignore.

puerari speaks as somebody with a major stake in the business. he is a director and shareholder of arqana, the French sales company, and is a part-owner of the haras des Capucines, the sales consignor european sales management and 35 broodmares, as well as having horses-in-training on the Flat and over jumps.

“What i would like to see above all else from the new team at France Galop,” puerari explains, “is a serious reflection on the value of horses racing in France and the international standing of French racing.

“if you have a well thought out and constructed racing system it will give value to the horses which compete successfully within it, but an egalitarian system will only devalue all the participants.”

Despite the good returns at the arqana December Breeding stock sale, puerari felt there were some worrying signs.

“There were three fillies sold out of

The waters are not clear

In the wake of the election for

the new president of France Galop,

Eric Puerari outlines his concerns and

suggestions for the future of French

racing and breeding to Jocelyn de Moubray

Eric Puerari : has definite and focused views on the future for the French bloodstock and racing industries



There are strong incentives to run horses in races below

their true level. The filly I bred could have run in

stakes races, but instead she won plenty

of money in small conditions races

“

“

training at the sale who had won Group races in France as two-year-olds: mambia, lixirova and split trois,” he pointed out. “all three were sold for between €150,000 and €200,000, which is only a fraction of what an english two-year-old, Group-winning filly would make out of training sold at newmarket.

“at the same sale, evading tempete was sold for €360,000 to shadai Farm whose representative explained their purchase by saying that she had raced successfully all over europe and in the us.

“how foreign racing and breeding professionals view racing in France is of vital importance,” puerari explains. “France has never had the same domestic market as exists in england and ireland and has always relied upon foreign owners.

“racing in France should give value to the successful horses and yet while all those taking part in the elections for the board of France Galop have spoken about supporting the base of the racing programme, there has been little discussion of selection and of raising the quality of racing.

“there is a limit to how far you can stretch the base of a pyramid, after a time it starts to look like a platform or a step. once the prestige of a racing system starts to decline it is very difficult to change the negative image and i am concerned that there is a loss of confidence in the French system.”

For puerari, the best way for the actors in French racing to gain a return on their investment is to create prestige and value. he is exasperated by the fact that, rather than discussing a programme of races for two-year-olds or reinforcing the existing Group races, the latest innovation of France Galop has been the Defi De Galop, a series of listed races for older horses on provincial racetracks.

“everybody in French racing will gain if the best races in paris have an international prestige,” he argues. “the costs of raising and training horses have risen dramatically in recent years and if successful horses have no capital value then it makes no sense at all to incur all these expenses.

“in england, horses which are successful gain value and this encourages people to buy young horses. in France, by contrast, there is a lack of ambition and of hope.”

as a breeder, 2011 was a successful year for puerari as horses which he bred alone or in partnership won 44 races. of these the one which earned the most was a three-year-old

filly with an official rating in the 90s and was cleverly campaigned to win five races.

this is, he says, a good example of how the current system doesn’t encourage ambition.

“today there are strong incentives to run horses in races below their true level. the filly I bred could have run in stakes races, but instead she won plenty of money in small conditions races.

“the present system encourages Group-class horses to run in listed races and listed horses to run in conditions races, and then the best French-trained Group horses such as Dunaden and Cirrus Des aigles win far more money and prestige racing outside France than they could do by staying here.”

For puerari the key to changing the trend lies in the racing programme, though at the same time he believes that French breeders need to be encouraged to invest to upgrade their mares.

“any country’s breeding rests on the programme for racing,” he argues. “in France we need to shorten the period over which it makes sense to run horses. Build on the existing programme for two-year-olds and give premiums to horses which compete in the best races for young horses in paris,

EMERGING TALENT AN UP-AND-COMING SIRE OF SIRES TEOFILO and Heliostatic, both of whomwere bred and campaigned by Jim

Bolger, are the only sons of Galileowith runners on the ground and bothhave already sired Pattern winners,

writes Nancy Sexton. Champion two-year-old Teofilo has

been given every chance to excel atstud by Darley. He gained immediateacceptance in the sales ring with his

first crop of yearlings selling for anaverage of 95,353gns in 2010, and has vindicated that support by

producing four stakes winners, led byDewhurst hero Parish Hall.

Such opportunity has not been soforthcoming for Group 3 winner Heliostatic,but that might change following the success ofhis 24-strong first crop – four of the sevenrunners in Britain and Ireland by the stallionhave won, topped by Crius, who defeatedsubsequent Middle Park Stakes winnerCrusade when winning the SomervilleTattersall Stakes at Newmarket.

rather than distributing this money widely all over France including for fifth places in claiming races or for six and seven-year-olds, who manage to win little conditions races on obscure tracks.

“We need to encourage owners to buy new horses, rather than continuing to run the ones they have already. it makes no sense to spread the money around to try to give all the existing actors just a little bit more towards covering their ever-rising costs. if the system creates value everyone who has success will profit, if it doesn’t everyone will continue sliding down on the international scale despite the money the pmu provides.”

there has been a great deal of discussion in France recently about the system of premiums for the owners and breeders of French-bred horses, and in particular as to whether or not it makes sense to give these premiums to the progeny of all of the 1,000 or so mares who leave France every year to be covered in england or ireland.

puerari is one of those convinced that to change the system would risk further undermining the quality of breeding in France.

“today there are not enough quality mares

in France to support a group of high-class stallions,” he maintains.”For me the 1,100 mares who travel abroad are a sign of hope; breeders who send their mares abroad do so in order to upgrade their stock and with the aim of getting a commercial return. this needs to be encouraged and not penalised.”

puerari would like to see all those with an interest in the quality of French racing and breeding putting pressure on the new president of France Galop to rethink the programme of racing and the distribution of prize-money.

“i think the major racing stables who do well out of the French system have a responsibility to take part in this debate, or at

the very least to ensure that there is a debate. “if these stables were sponsors and active

partners in racing nobody could see them and their involvement in a negative manner.

“it makes no sense to run the racing business as if it was a social programme giving more to those who cannot afford to keep going. racing should be about quality and about selection and if French racing has the prestige it will attract foreign owners and all those who win races will benefit from this reputation.

“i am convinced that the answer lies in rewarding those who produce and race quality horses, to encourage investment in the future and to reward those with talent.”

Racing should be about quality and about selection and if French racing has the prestige it will attract foreign

owners and all those who win races will benefit from this reputation

Third Group 1 win for Atomic Force Top level success by the son of Danehill Dancer the highlight on

a winning weekend for Magic Millions sale ring purchases


southern hemisphere news

THE dual Group 1 winner atomic Force has become the horse that any owner would love to find as a yearling.

Winner of the Galaxy Stakes (G1) at randwick last april, atomic Force became a trans-Tasman Group 1 winner at Ellerslie in auckland at the beginning of the year when he beat New Zealand’s best sprinters in the railway Stakes.

The win reinforced just what a bargain the six-year-old has turned out to be for connections dynamic Syndications. He was purchased for just a$50,000 at the 2007 Magic Millions Gold Coast Yearling Sale, but has amassed more than a$850,000 prize-money in 36 starts, winning 11 races and filling 12 placings.

Most of his success has come since joining darren Smith’s stable in Newcastle after his first 13 starts.

Syndicate manager dean Watt said Smith had turned around atomic Force’s career.

“He was having problems with his feet and darren had his feet re-done,” said Watt. “He had been dismissed as a bush horse, but he’s earned 23 cheques in 23 starts since darren’s had him and won nine times.”

atomic Force, bred by Geoff and Kathy Warfield in Queensland, is one of 133 stakes winners and 18 Group and Grade 1 victors by danehill’s son danehill dancer, and is one of five winners produced by the good luskin Star mare Show of Force.

From the family of Caulfield

Guineas winner Encounter, Show of Force won two races at two and was four times stakes-placed before she was retired to stud.

MaGiC MillioNS-bought bargains really came to the fore at

doomben on december 31 in the Group 3 Vo rogue plate.

The three-year-old feature was an all-Magic Millions finish, the race won by the peter Balzen-trained filly Punch On from

Noisy ocean, lucky Morna and playtime.

a half-sister to her well-performed stablemate punch up, punch on was bought out of Magic Millions Gold Coast sale ring for just a$16,000 at the 2010 QTiS Yearling Sale. She has now won more than $236,000.

another grand-daughter of danehill, this time a daughter of Tiger Hill, she is one of four winners from four to race for her dam, the Geiger Counter mare School Blue.

Further back in his pedigree

are international runners such as Bigstone, little Treasure, Empowering and Beaux art.

The race gave Queensland’s raheen Stud a great result with both the winner and runner-up Noisy ocean sold through their draft at the Gold Coast.

Noisy ocean is also a great money-spinner for his connections after being purchased from the raheen draft for a$15,000.

He’s already earned nearly a$300,000.

Danehill Dancer: is the sire of 18 Group or Grade 1 winners, five of which have been in Australia or New Zealand


Patinack Farm’s foundation sire casino Prince was represented by his first winner at the beginning of January when the filly Casino Card powered home to win over 6f at the Gold Coast on her first racecourse start.

trained by matthew Dunn, casino Card (Casino Prince ex Absolute Lure (Lure)) sold for just A$1,500 as a yearling.

Casino Card boasts a high-class international pedigree as she is inbred to Danzig, a cross growing in its influence around the world.

A Group 1 winner by champion sire Flying Spur and out of the Last Tycoon mare Lady Capel, a daughter of the French Listed-placed mare Kew Gardens (Kenmare), Casino Prince also went close to getting his first stakes-placed two-year-old when Sookie finished a luckless fourth in the Group 3 B J McLachlan Plate at Doomben.

Like father, like son?Western Jewel may emulate her Cup-winning sire Jeune

Volksraad and Fath die in separate paddock accidentsVolkSraad, a six-time champion sire in New Zealand, died at Windsor park Stud at the beginning of January. He suffered from a broken shoulder sustained in a paddock accident.

a 23-year-old by Green desert out of stakes-placed winner Celtic assembly, by Secretariat, Volksraad was a half-brother to multiple Group 1 winner Cherokee rose.

after starting his stud career in 1993 for a stud fee of NZ$2,500, Volksraad emerged into one of the southern-hemisphere’s elite stallions and stood at a career high of NZ$27,500.

He is the sire of 14 Group 1 winners, including New Zealand champion Sir Slick, who has posted 22 wins, 22 seconds and 17 thirds in 145 career starts over nine seasons, as well as the New Zealand champions one under and Thriller.

“We have been fortunate to stand a number of champion stallions at Windsor park and Volksraad rates among the best,”

said Nelson Schick, proprietor of Windsor park Stud. “His contribution to Windsor park and the breeding industries in New Zealand and australia has been immense, and his daughters are now proving to be such wonderful broodmares at stud.”

Just a week later Fath, a Group 1-placed son of danzig standing at Westbury park in Western australia, was killed after being bitten by a snake.

a previous resident of rathasker Stud in County kildare, ireland, breeder James Miorada imported Fath in 2008.

The stallion sired his first Australian winner on December 24 when his first-crop filly Keep Fath won at ascot. He had been standing at a fee of a$6,600 alongside Startac (Theatrical) and He’s a decoy (in The Wings).

Fath has sired 93 winners of 286 races in Europe. a homebred for Hamdan al Maktoum, Fath is a half-brother to the 1,000 Guineas winner Shadayid and finish second in the Group 1 Middle park Stakes.

pErTH Cup WiNNEr Western Jewel may get the opportunity to give her sire the chance to join the small group of Melbourne Cup winners who have gone on to sire a winner of the great staying test.

it is a feat that has not been accomplished since 1943 when dark Felt, a son of the 1926 Melbourne Cup winner Spearfelt, scored by 3l.

The five-year-old mare Western Jewel, already a six-time winner over distances from a mile to 1m2f, is from the last crop of Jeune, the imported winner of the 1994 Melbourne Cup trained by david Hayes for Sheikh Hamdan.

if Western Jewel gets to the line in the Melbourne Cup, she would be the fifth of Jeune’s progeny to contest the race following

On A Jeune, who finished second to Makybe diva in 2008, The Terminator, alcopop and Mummify.

Jeune produced 10 crops while standing at either lindsay park Stud in South australia and Collingrove Stud in Victoria, providing over 400 winners (27 stakes winners) of 1,300 races and a$35 million.

Jeune, by kalaglow, was from the Grey Sovereign male line and is out of Youthful, a mare by the Nijinsky sire Green dancer, who ran twice in the Melbourne Cup finishing first and then 15th the following year.

He ran 25 times in australia for three further Group 1 victories in the Melbourne Cup, aJC Queen Elizabeth Stakes, underwood Stakes and C.F. orr Stakes.

His 10 seconds included six Group 1 races in the BMW Stakes, the ranvet Stakes, the Mackinnon Stakes, the australian Cup, the Caulfield and the Futurity Stakes.

Jeune was imported from Britain as a four-year-old where he ran 18 times.

at three he won three races from a mile to a 1m4f, including two spring Classic trials, but his best result came as a four-year-old when he won the Group 2 Hardwicke Stakes.

Western Jewel, on breeding, should have no trouble running with staying trips.

Her dam our Millster, a mile winner in perth, is by the Mill reef horse Marooned, an imported stayer who won three Group 3 events in australia before going to stud in Western australia.

Strong juvenile hand for More Than Ready Raceway puts in exciting performance ahead of the Blue Diamond StakesExploSiVE ColT raCEWaY will be part of a three-pronged assault on February’s a$1m MrC Blue diamond Stakes (1200m) for sire More Than ready after a breathtaking debut win at Warwick Farm in January.

The Gai Waterhouse-trained colt put in the most impressive win by a two-year-old so far through the 2011-12 australian season when powering away from his rivals to win the 5f aTC Warwick Farm 100 Club Handicap by 4l posting a class record time of 56.85s, reeling off a sizzling 33.13s last 600m sectional.

“He’s the nicest two-year-old i’ve ridden for quite some time,” said winning jockey Hugh Bowman. “He was slow to jump but got straight into stride. He’s such a relaxed animal, that won't be a problem.

“i was reluctant to stoke him up early but he overcame that [slow start] with his ability to muster pace and then relax for me.

“The horse makes his own luck, as good horses do! i’ve had nothing to do with this colt before today, but hopefully i’ll have a bit more to do with him in future.”

raceway bears some uncanny similarities with 2008 Golden Slipper winner, Sebring

Both colts are chestnuts by super sire More Than ready out of Flying Spur dams.

Both colts were bred and sold by George altomonte (Corumbene Stud) for around the same money - Sebring cost $130,000 at the Magic Millions, while raceway was sold for $150,000 at the 2011 australian inglis Easter Yearling Sale.

Most of the owners who raced Sebring are part of the raceway syndicate, which was put together by denise Martin.

“The owners have been waiting for the right colt to name raceway and it was only last august that the name became available,” said Martin. “They have named both colts after Sebring raceway in america.

“Gai has always had a very big opinion of raceway. This colt has loads of natural ability and has a lot of improvement in him. it’s exciting for all of us.”

Raceway is More Than Ready’s fifth individual two-year-old winner so far this season.

“More Than ready is having a fantastic year, probably his best start to a season because of the depth of his two-year-old winners,” said Vinery’s adam White.

More Than Ready, a son of Southern Halo, has finished seventh on the leading sires’ list of two-year-olds in australia and New Zealand for the last two seasons, having finished first in 2008-09 and in 2007-08 courtesy of leading performers phelan ready and Sebring.

iNGliS HaS lauNCHEd a new a$2.4 million inglis Triple Crown Bonus for two and three-year-olds.

The new bonus takes the total prize pool on offer across the inglis race Series to a$5 million for yearlings sold in 2012.

as part of the now a$5 million inglis race Series, a a$2.4 million bonus will be paid by inglis to the connections of the same horse if it can win the three legs of the newly created inglis Triple Crown Bonus.

“There are four different paths that can be taken to win the bonus,” said inglis’s managing director Mark Webster.

“From the start the inglis race Series has been about flexibility and returns to owners and trainers, which we have continued through into the design of the inglis

Triple Crown Bonus.” The sole eligibility restriction

on the Bonus is that yearlings must be offered (sold or passed-in) exclusively at inglis yearling sales in 2012 and be nominated to the inglis race Series by July 31, 2012.

The new initiative is offered with no increase to the current inglis race Series nomination fees.

“We are extremely pleased to be able to offer up the largest bonus in the southern -hemisphere to clients who purchase at our yearling sales and enter those purchases into our lucrative race series,” said Webster.

“With 21 races held at 17 different tracks across New South Wales, Victoria and aCT for two and three-year-old graduates, the inglis race Series has continued

to grow each and every year, with this great new reward another string to its bow.”

“The inglis race Series has already provided my stable with great success this season with our Classic Sale filly Diamond Earth.

“The new a$2.4 million inglis Triple Crown Bonus is a wonderful initiative available to all trainers, owners and breeders,

and is something i will certainly be chasing,” said trainer anthony Cummings.

if the Bonus is won the a$2.4 million will be distributed as follows:

Owner: a$1,920,000 (80%) trainer: a$240,000 (10%) Breeder: a$120,000 (5%) Vendor: a$120,000 (5%)

Inglis Triple Crown LEG 1Must win either: $250,000 Inglis Banner (2YO, 1000m) at Moonee Valley on Cox Plate Day, October 2012 or $250,000 Inglis Nursery (2YO, 1000m) at Randwick on Villiers Stakes Day, December 2012

Inglis Triple Crown LEG 2Must win either: VRC Sires Produce Stakes (G2 2YO, 1400m) at Flemington on Newmarket Hcp/Australian Cup Day, March 2013 or ATC Sires Produce Stakes (G1 2YO, 1400m) at Randwick on ATC Derby Day, April 2013

Inglis Triple Crown LEG 3Must win: $400,000 Inglis Guineas (3YO, 1400m), April/May 2014

There is nowhere like New Zealand......for producing quality thoroughbreds, writes NZ Bloodstock’s Michael Orton


from nz bloodstock

New ZealaNd aNd australia are seeing an ever-increasing number of internationally performed and respected sires and mares travelling to their shores for stud duties, resulting in an auction sale selection as international as ever.

New Zealand has seen almost 40 sires commence stud duties since 2009, with over half of these stallions having been bred and/or raced in the northern hemisphere.

the last two seasons alone have seen a number of international sires shuttle to New Zealand, including Makfi, Mastercraftsman, Paco Boy, rip Van winkle, thewayyouare and showcasing.

the impact shuttle stallions have had on New Zealand’s racing scene and New Zealand Bloodstock’s National Yearling sales series have been significant.

the influence of the earliest shuttlers such as defensive Play, Prized, rhythm and spinning world is still being felt through their deeds as broodmare sires, with defensive Play the damsire of three Group 1 winners at the Melbourne spring Carnival – efficient, sirmione

and Zarita. significantly, two of these winners – efficient

and Zarita – were sired by New Zealand champion sire Zabeel, demonstrating a powerful melding of gene pools that has taken place over time.

the shuttle concept went to new heights with success stories like Cape Cross, tale Of the Cat, and stravinsky. Cape Cross provided New Zealand with a star Horse of the Year in seachange, while stravinsky and tale Of the Cat have both left outstanding southern hemisphere performers such as serenade rose (stravinsky) and Glamour Puss (tale Of the Cat).

in 2001 Montjeu commenced his southern hemisphere duties at windsor Park stud in Cambridge, the sire shuttling to New Zealand for four seasons. His success has not hit the heady heights seen in the north, but he wasn’t without a Group 1 winner (sharvasti) and a number of Group 1 performers on both sides of the tasman.

in 2005 he was replaced on the windsor Park stud roster by fellow Coolmore sire High Chaparral, undoubtedly one of the biggest

shuttle sire success stories of all.High Chaparral stood in New Zealand in

2005 and 2006, and again in 2008 and 2009 – he missed the 2007 season due to equine influenza in australia.

His impact on the australasian tracks was immediate and he sired four Group 1 winners in his first crop, headlined by the outstanding international performer so You think.

the same crop saw High Chaparral’s son Monaco Consul win the Group 1 spring Champion stakes/Group 1 VrC derby double, and become the first sire son of High Chaparral to stand at stud in australasia, covering his first book of mares at Patinack Farm in australia in 2011.

High Chaparral has a strong presence at New Zealand Bloodstock’s forthcoming National Yearling sales series with the first two days of selling – the Premier sale – cataloguing 61 lots from the 516 entries of the australasian crop.

High Chaparral has the largest draft of yearlings of any sire at the Premier sale. this selection is the last of his New Zealand conceived progeny.

Karaka sales headlined by European shuttle sires

FroM a HuMBlE foal crop that has averaged just over 4,400 thoroughbreds per season over the last ten years, New Zealand thoroughbreds are punching well above their weight on the

international stage. With a proud tradition of producing

outstanding racehorses from phar lap to current superstar So You Think, the New Zealand thoroughbred industry is among the best in the world thanks to an enviable natural environment that’s providing a unique breeding advantage.

New Zealand benefits from a temperate climate that provides optimal amounts of rainfall and sunshine for a host of agricultural pursuits, giving the country a strong presence in global markets for lamb, beef, dairy and

forestry products as well as horses. The key, according to leading thoroughbred breeders, is the ability for the animal to develop naturally outside all year round.

“New Zealand provides a very favourable environment for breeding thoroughbreds,” commented Sir patrick Hogan, the owner of the world famous Cambridge Stud.

“The country is renowned for its fertile land and the soil is full of minerals which are essential for growing horses. We receive the ideal amount of rain throughout the year which helps produce our thick lush pasture that grows all year round.

“These conditions result in New Zealand producing some of the best Classic weight-for-age and middle distance thoroughbreds in the world. They also allow us to patiently develop our horses to enable them to reach

their full racing potential.”The success of New Zealand thoroughbreds

on australian racetracks supports this view. as the second largest racing industry in the world, with a considerable breeding industry of its own, australia is still the largest importer of thoroughbreds from New Zealand.

The result looks unremarkable – just 5.2 per cent of australia’s racing population are New Zealand-bred gallopers. However the impact is significant, with New Zealand horses claiming over 30 per cent of australia’s coveted Group 1 events last season alone.

The latest superstar to emerge from New Zealand’s thoroughbred nursery is the kiwi-bred So You Think (High Chaparral ex Triassic (Tights)). one of the most talented thoroughbreds to come from New Zealand


His entries include one of the most compelling lots of the sale series, a three-quarter brother in blood to so You think. From a winning half-sister to the dam of so You think, the colt will be offered through windsor Park stud’s draft at lot 284, early on day 2 of the Premier sale.

High Chaparral’s other entries include siblings to Group 1 winners de Gaulle lane (the Commander), Gee i Jane (Jahafil), and tavistock (Montjeu), and progeny from Group 1-winning mares Bazelle (Zabeel), lashed (encosta de lago) and the Mighty lions (Grosvenor).

the world champion sire Galileo is represented by his only two southern-hemisphere-bred yearling colts to be offered in australasia in 2012.

the sire of 22 stakes winners in the southern-hemisphere, 98 worldwide and 20 at Group 1 level, Galileo has seen a number of stand-out performers in the southern hemisphere, headlined by the Karaka graduate, the Group 1 spring Champion stakes winner sousa.

Galileo has also sired the Group 2 winner and multiple Group 1-placed Gallant tess, Group 2 Herbert Power stakes winner linton, the Melbourne Cup runner-up Purple Moon, and Group/stakes winners including Banc de Fortune, discorsi, Miss Galilei,

reprisal and saint Minerva.the colt by Galileo from tasmania is from the

family of New Zealand’s champion sire Zabeel and represents the highly successful Galileo/danehill cross through his son rock Of Gibraltar. it is a nick that has seen just 79 runners, the Galileo/danehill cross boasts a stakes winners to runners ratio of over 26 per cent.

New Zealand’s greatest living sire and one of the most successful stallions to stand in the southern hemisphere, Zabeel stands at the world famous Cambridge stud owned by sir Patrick and lady Hogan.

a stalwart of the New Zealand sire ranks, Zabeel sets the benchmark for all other living australasian stallions and is the sire of 41 individual Group 1 winners and 136 stakes winners. with worldwide progeny earnings in excess of a$155 million, Zabeel has sired three Melbourne Cup winners and four Cox Plate winners. with 32 entries in the Karaka Premier sale, Zabeel has continued to be one of the drawcards of the National Yearling sales series for over a decade.

this year’s sales series in New Zealand will see the progeny of 24 first-season sires, 13 of which were bred in the northern hemisphere.

shuttling to New Zealand, the Group 1 July Cup winner sakhee’s secret and english derby

winner sir Percy, both commenced stud duties in the southern hemisphere in 2009. the pair were well received by New Zealand breeders with sakhee’s secret covering over 100 mares in his first season.

sakhee’s secret’s 43 yearlings in the National Yearling sales series include the half-brother to the Group 1 1,000 Guineas winner shizu (Manntari), with sir Percy represented by 23 entries including the half-brother to the Group 2 winner Boulevardofdreams (daggers drawn).

Other first-season shuttle sires with progeny in the Karaka Yearling sales include French Group 1 winner astronomer royal, europe’s 2007 Champion three-year-old authorized, ‘the last great son of danehill’ in duke Of Marmalade, the english and irish Guineas winner Henrythenavigator, europe’s 2008 champion first-season sire Kheleyf, France’s 2007 champion two-year-old Myboycharlie and 2008 joint world champion New approach.

New Zealand Bloodstock’s National Yearling sales series will be held at the Karaka sales complex in auckland from 30 January to 5 February. For more information and to view the catalogues online, please visit www.nzb.co.nz.

since Sunline (desert Sun), who won 13 Group 1 races in australia, New Zealand and Hong kong, So You Think has become a headline ambassador for the New Zealand thoroughbred industry.

Bred in the Waikato region in the North island of New Zealand, So You Think was born at Windsor park Stud, the base of Montjeu and High Chaparral during their shuttle seasons to New Zealand, and now the southern hemisphere base for Mastercraftsman and rip Van Winkle.

“He was a cracking horse, right from the start, even as a foal,” recalls Mike Moran, the co-breeder of So You Think. “[irish bloodstock agent] demi o’Brien saw him at the karaka Yearling Sales in New Zealand and said he was as good a High Chaparral as he’d seen.”

purchased by renowned australian bloodstock agent duncan ramage at New Zealand Bloodstock’s 2008 premier Yearling Sale for NZ$110,000, So You Think was taken to australia to commence his racing career under the legendary trainer Bart Cummings.

during his career under Cummings’s guidance, So You Think burst onto the Group 1 scene with a win in the a$3 million Group 1 Cox plate, australasia’s weight-for-age championship and a leg of the Emirates World Series racing Championship.

With some arguing that So You Think was too inexperienced to race in such an esteemed Group 1 event, the fact that he won the race at just his fifth start, and was technically still two-years-old, the victory saw him propelled to stardom.

Missing a much-hyped autumn campaign

due to health complications, So You Think made history as a four-year-old when becoming the only horse in australian racing history to win the Cox plate at ages three and four.

one of the most successful trainers in australian racing history, Bart Cummings has won over 260 Group 1 races during his training career, which include 13 Melbourne Cups and 32 derbys. a trainer who is always reluctant to compare his champion horses from different eras, Cummings stopped short of disagreeing with the growing belief that So You Think was one of the best he had trained.

“These are the sort of horses you work long hours for, the champions who develop before your eyes,” commented Cummings. “He was potentially the best horse i've ever trained.”

So You Think’s sale to Coolmore in late 2010 saw him transferred to trainer aidan o’Brien at Ballydoyle. He has been one of the headline performers in England and ireland since his debut in the Group 3 Mooresbridge Stakes.

His new trainer paid the ultimate compliment to So You Think after his win in the Group 1 Tattersalls Gold Cup.

“We've had some good horses from australia, Starspangledbanner and Haradasun, but when this fellow walked through the door, we've never experienced anything like it. He’s unique,” commented o’Brien.

“He was one of those horses that came with a bit of an aura about him and you couldn’t really believe it. But when you see him as a specimen you think that this horse could be something different. it’s exciting to have him here.”

With a Group 1 win in ireland under his belt, it was his victory over Workforce in the Group 1 Coral Eclipse Stakes that was the crowning achievement for New Zealand’s thoroughbred industry.

To put So You Think’s achievement into context, prior to his victory in the Group 1 Coral Eclipse Stakes, the last non-irish, English or European horse to win over a middle distance in England was american galloper reigh Court, who won the Group 1 Coronation Cup at Epsom in 1929.

New Zealand horses have been successful in England and Europe in recent years with Starcraft (Soviet Star) claiming the Group 1 prix du Moulin de longchamp/Group 1 Queen Elizabeth ii Stakes double in 2005.


He was a cracking horse, right from the start, even as a foal. Irish bloodstock agent Demi O’Brien saw

him at the Karaka Yearling Sales in New Zealand and

said he was as good a High Chaparral as he’d seen

However, no horse from australasia, with the exception of Balmerino (NZ) (Trictrac) in 1978, has threatened England’s authority over their coveted middle-distance races.

Starcraft’s Group 1 victories over a mile were ground-breaking for New Zealand, but So You Think has achieved the ultimate. in beating British horses on their own turf in a Group 1 middle-distance race, he accomplished what many champion horses from different eras and parts of the world could not.

NEW ZEalaNd’S real breeding strength has for many generations lain in its middle-distance and staying horses. The depth of staying blood through New Zealand

female families is immense, and has meant a consistency of success in the derbies, Cups and classics so coveted by owners.

Since 2010, New Zealand-bred horses have won 12 derbys in six countries around the world. The latest derby winner, Sangster (Savabeel), extended New Zealand’s record in one of australia’s premier three-year-old races – the a$1.5 million Group 1 VrC derby – to become the fifth of the last six winners to carry the NZ suffix.

one of the world’s elite and most famous staying races – the internationally acclaimed a$6.2 million Group 1 Melbourne Cup – has traditionally been one of New Zealand’s most successful Group 1 races in australia with 26 of the last 50 winners being sourced from the New Zealand ranks.

With the australian foal crop over four times the size of New Zealand’s, these results have been a major driver to australia becoming the leading country by total spend at New Zealand Bloodstock’s National Yearling Sales Series. in 2011 alone, australian buyers spent over NZ$47 million - 54 per cent of the total sale aggregate.

a major exporter of thoroughbreds to the international market, New Zealand has seen the export value of its thoroughbreds

increase almost 40 per cent since 2000 to approximately NZ$150 million.

in Hong kong and Singapore in particular New Zealand’s strike rate is impressive, with kiwi horses adapting well to the rigours of those tough racing environments.

in Hong kong last season, New Zealand horses claimed 38 per cent of all race victories, and more black-type wins than any other competing nation. New Zealand has also produced five of the last eight winners of the nation’s prestigious Hong kong derby.

Hong kong’s 2011 international Meeting saw one of the world’s leading miles, the Group 1 Hong kong Mile, won for the second consecutive year by a New Zealand horse with the triple Group 1 winner able one (Cape Cross) taking the honours. able one is one of Hong kong's elite milers and also won the Group 1 Champions Mile on two occasions in 2007 and 2010.

able one’s victory continues New Zealand's exceptional record in the Hong kong Mile. Since Sunline won the race in 2000, New Zealand has bred and/or sold five individual winners of the Group 1 Hong kong Mile: able one, Beauty Flash (2010), The duke (2006), lucky owners (2003) and Sunline (2000) – a feat unmatched by any other country.

“It’s been another fine season for New

Zealand-bred horses around the globe, further enhancing our reputation for producing high-class horses that are tough, sound and versatile,” said andrew Birch, chief executive officer of New Zealand Thoroughbred Marketing.

“Horses carrying the NZ suffix win approximately 40 per cent of all races in Hong kong, which is a truly international jurisdiction and is a credit to our breeders. These include Horse of the Year ambitious dragon and Champion Miler Beauty Flash.

“Several asian racing nations have also seen our thoroughbreds ply their trade with distinction, including Singapore, Macau, Malaysia and korea.”

With New Zealand Bloodstock’s National Yearling Sales Series in January 2011 delivering up the highest-priced yearling in australasia for the year – the NZ$2 million Zabeel colt purchased by James Bester – the sale company will be hoping once again for international demand to be high for the 1,400 young horses on offer from 30 January.

“our overseas markets are so critical to the New Zealand Sale that it’s very important that our horses perform well internationally throughout the season,” commented New Zealand Bloodstock’s co-managing director petrea Vela.

“We get to this time of year with relief that we have so many good stories to tell, particularly in australia where the competition is so strong. For our horses to do so well there over the past few seasons hopefully reinforces to buyers the merits of the bloodstock we breed here in New Zealand and, with an exchange rate also in their favour, translates to good demand come January.”

Just like his grandfatherAlan Porter profiles Stratum, the Widden Stud stallion who could be the one to maintain the dominance of the Danehill line in Australia

stallion profile

IN a SaluTarY lESSoN on just how fast sire lines can wax and wane it is worth considering the fate of the Star kingdom dynasty. a once dominating force, whose offspring reshaped australian racing,

the Star kingdom line was represented by an australian champion sire as recently as the 1992-1993 season when the little chestnut’s grandson Marscay took the crown.

a glance at the australian sire standings for 2010-2011 shows that, just 20 years later, only one representative of the Star kingdom male line, Show A Heart, figured amongst the top 50 sires by earnings.

The dominance of Danehillin 1993-1994, the year after he gained the second of his two sire premierships, Marscay finished runner-up to Last Tycoon, who became the first Northern Dancer-line stallion to head the australian standings.

it was in the next season, though, that a new era would truly dawn. Marscay again finished runner-up, but this time to Danehill, who would go on to take a total of nine champion sires’ titles in 11 years.

The last of those championships came in 1995, which gives us cause to ponder what might the state of danehill’s male-line be in australia by 2025, especially given that such a high proportion of the commercial broodmare population descends either from danehill or other danzig line stallions.

of course, only time will tell, but, for the moment, the signs that danehill’s line might be enduring are promising. This is in no small part due to the promising start made as a sire of sires by danehill’s son, redoute’s Choice.

a 16:2 hh bay, redoute’s Choice went two-for-two in a juvenile season that spanned all of eight days. He won the Veuve Clicquot Stakes and Blue diamond Stakes (G1), but was forced by illness to skip the Golden Slipper. He returned at three to take the 6f

Manikato Stakes (G1) first time out, finished fourth in the 6f ascot Vale Stakes (G2) and third in the ViC Health Cup invitational (G1) over 7f.

redoute’s Choice was stepped up to the mile of the Caulifield Guineas (G1) to record his next victory, but he failed to stay the 1m2f trip in the W. S. Cox plate (G1), and then was second in the australia Stakes (G1) at six furlongs.

Redoute’s Choice’s final two outings came over 7f – he won the C. F. orr Stakes (G1) from the crack filly Miss Pennymoney, and was then third to Testa rossa, another excellent danzig grandson, in the Futurity Stakes (G1).

Retired to Arrowfield Stud – where danehill began his australian career – redoute’s Choice had a pedigree to match his sire and his race-record.

He is out of the Canny lad mare Shantha’s

stallion profile

Choice, who is also dam of redoute’s Choice’s Grade 1-winning brother platinum Scissors, a graded-winning three-parts brother Sliding Cube and a Grade 1-winning half-brother Manhattan rain.

Shantha’s Joy is a three-parts sister to Grade 1 winner Hurricane Sky, and a half-sister to the Grade 1 winner umatilla, both of whom are successful sires.

redoute’s Choice has proved to be the heir to his sire. The leading first-season sire of his crop, he took champion sire honours in 2005-2006, again in 2009-2010 and finished second in 2010-2011. He has also twice been a champion sire of two-year-olds.

So far, he has produced 80 stakes winners

– 49 of them at graded level, including 20 Grade 1 winners. His best runners include Miss Finland, a champion at two and as an older mare, the champion two-year-old fillies Samantha Miss and Fashions Afield, the champion two-year-old colt Stratum, as well as lotteria, Snitzel, Gallica, Musir, absolutely, anamato and Melito.

The Redoute’s start their chargeRedoute’s Choice’s first notable stallion son was the over-achieving Not a Single doubt (third leading third-crop sire of 2010-2011 behind High Chaparral and Fastnet rock), but redoute’s coming-out party as a sire of sires took place in 2009-2010 when his sons Stratum and Snitzel finished first and second on the freshmans’ table, with Bradbury’s luck in ninth and two other sons, al Samer and God’s own, in the top 20.

Stratum and Snitzel repeated the one-two punch in the second-crop standings with Bradbury’s luck, God’s own and al Samer in the top 17. For good measure, Nadeem, another redoute’s Choice son, was the leading freshman sire of 2010-2011 by winners, and third by earnings.

Stratum, who leads the redoute’s Choice ranks as a stallion, is also his sire’s top-rated son so far as a runner. at two, he came good at just the right time breaking his maiden on his third start in the pago pago Stakes (G2) before returning seven days later to take the Golden Slipper (G1) from his paternal half-sister, Miss Finland.

A week on, Stratum finished unplaced behind Miss Finland in the aJC Sires’ produce Stakes (G1) over 7f, but his Golden Slipper triumph was sufficient to earn him the title of champion two-year-old colt.

although he ran 13 more times at three, the Golden Slipper proved to be Stratum’s last victory.

That said, he did run well when second in the roman Consul Stakes (G2), linlithgow Stakes (G2), Moonee Valley Stakes (G2) and up and Coming Stakes (G3), and third in two other graded stakes.

retired to Widden Stud (which, coincidentally, had also been the home of Marscay, the last champion sire from the Star kingdom line), Stratum made the perfect start to his second career by becoming the first horse since Danehill to earn honours as champion first-season sire and champion sire of two-year-olds in the same year.

Stratum carried on in a similar vein in 2010-2011 ending the year as leading second-season sire. The current australian season is only around a third through, but Stratum is again leading his crop and is in sixth place overall on the leading sires’ list.

Danehill the underlying factorone of the factors that facilitated danehill supplanting the Star kingdom line was, somewhat ironically, the fact that danehill and his sons frequently crossed well with Star kingdom line mares. redoute’s Choice himself is a product of the cross as his broodmare sire Canny lad was by Bletchingly, a champion sire grandson of Star kingdom.

Stratum is a result of a pattern which we often see working well, that of crossing a stallion back over a mare from his own broodmare sire line – his dam Bourgeois is out of a mare by Star kingdom’s brilliant grandson, luskin Star.

in fact, the immediate distaff side of the pedigree is entirely from australia and New Zealand with a background of strains from England, ireland and France – his female line has been in australasia since Stratum’s seventh dam ravissante was imported from Europe in the late 1920s.

Stratum’s first crop star was the Golden Slipper (G1) heroine Crystal lily, who has also won three other stakes events, including the Sweet Embrace Stakes (G3), and has earnings of a$2,695,000.

She is out of a mare by Snippets (by English champion two-year-old lunchtime, a son of paul Mellon’s Champion Stakes winner Silly Season). She’s also inbred to the brilliant speedster Vain, who was an australian-bred

Redoute’s coming out party as a sire of sires took place in 2009-2010 when his sons Stratum and Snitzel finished

first and second on the freshmans’ table

stallion profile

grandson of Court Martial.The cross with Snippets mares has done

well for redoute’s Choice, as has the cross with Sir Tristram line mares that produced Stratum’s second-crop standout Streama, who won the Flight Stakes (G1), Furious Stakes (G2) and Tea rose Stakes (G2). She is out of Sir Tristram’s son, Sovereign red.

although Stratum is a Northern dancer line horse, the Canadian patriarch is in the fifth generation of Stratum’s foals, and Stratum has been enjoying success when crossed back over Northern dancer line mares.

His VrC Sires’ produce Stakes (G2) winner running Tall is out of a uS-bred daughter of Touch Gold (Deputy Minister), while his first crop stakes-winning colt pellizotti is bred on a version of the well-known danehill/Sadler’s Wells cross as he’s out of a mare by Blevic, who is by Sadler’s Wells’s son Scenic. He’s also inbred or linebred to Biscay, Vain and Nijinsky.

From his own danzig line, Stratum is sire of stakes winner My destiny out of a daughter of Grand lodge (Chief’s Crown). This is another one inbred to Vain, and also has a double of kaoru Star, the grandsire of the

dam of Stratum.Stratum is also finding success with a

range of other sire lines. First-crop stakes winner Éclair Mystic is out of a daughter of the roberto horse at Talaq (and linebred to Bletchingly), while Estrato, a colt from his second crop who scored his stakes win in New Zealand, is out of a mare by Quest For Fame (rainbow Quest), and is linebred to Biscay.

From the australian native line of rory’s Jester, which traces back to the Nasrullah horse rego, he has the second-crop stakes winner Spectrolite.

Finally, Eramor, another stakes winner from Stratum’s second crop, follows redoute’s Choice and Stratum as the third cross of the male-line over a Star kingdom mare as her dam is by Marscay (by Biscay, also the sire of Bletchingly).

Given the quality of the mares that have been visiting Stratum since his initial success, and his ability to cross over mares from a wide range of broodmare sire lines, there must be every chance that he will soon come up with a colt that can extend the danehill line into the second quarter of the 21st century.

Although Stratum is a Northern Dancer line horse,

the Canadian patriarch is back in the fifth generation

of Stratum’s foals, and Stratum has been enjoying

plenty of success when crossed back over

Northern Dancer line mares

As has been written in amazed and awed terms since the conclusion of the various December and breeding stock sales, the bloodstock market returned to vibrant form in 2011.

Generally, as the figures in the table show, this improvement has come across the board, with the majority of sales companies, and importantly those with the largest market share, Tattersalls, arqana and Goffs, showing gains on 2010.

as has already been recognised there are a number of reasons, both equine and financial for this resurgence – the reduction in the number of horses, in particular yearlings offered for sale, the responding general and overall improvement in quality, while financially advantageous exchange rates and the poor rate of return offered on alternative investments and savings were all important factors toward putting smiles on vendors’ faces this autumn.

Importantly, it was in the yearling trade that these improvements showed such a strong hand; the yearling market always proving to be the driver for the rest of the season – if breeders and pin-hookers make money, or at least have some confidence in market conditions, then they will reinvest in foals and breeding stock, bolstering the top

end spend by those whose money comes from alternative and lucrative sources.

And that confidence in the market came at all levels – the competition at the top percolating through the middle levels to the base (notably the bargain basement of previous years was not so evident).

But this market has more strength in depth than merely as a reaction to the movement of financial instruments causing big investors to cash in on the opportunity.

The drivers which lead to rich men and women to spend their money on blue-blooded thoroughbreds are far more subjective, and for those living outside of Europe, in Qatar, Dubai and even australia, the wish to be just involved in horseracing in Britain, Ireland and France is a huge driving factor.

as reported in a recent Bloomberg interview with sheikh Fahad, Qatar investors believe that involvement in horseracing in Britain through ownership and sponsorship affords them not only the opportunity for some personal fun, but also raises the image of the emirate as a whole and allows them to compete with Dubai, which until the last few years was very much the dominant nation in the UaE.

There are many reasons for the qudos that racing in Europe has, and not least of these is the royal patronage that it enjoys (it’s not called the sport of Kings without reason), but also the long and timeless history attached to the game, the ability that racing gives its owners and investors to play at the very top but at a reasonably affordable level unlike its equivalent F1, the variety of tracks and differing opportunities in Europe for all types of horses allowing diverse opportunity, the chances racing gives to compete on an international level, as well as the inherent re-saleability of a good horse and its produce.

all of these hugely important pluses thatyhe sport offers have to be communicated to likely future investors and owners, and the efforts of the various bloodstock marketing groups in the past few years as a whole have been successful, must be appreciated, welcomed and continue to be well financed.

We must ensure that these people are interested in spending their money on racehorses not racecars. With so many other attractions for the likely equine purchaser, not least the also hugely resurgent art market, with all of its international glamour and prestige rivalling the racing industry, horseracing as a whole and across European nations has to work together to ensure that its own attractions outweigh other sports and attractions vying for that money.

Our marketing teams are heading out on a

country by country basis to meet those who may wish to become involved in horseracing, but surely there is a strong argument that maybe there should be a greater cohesive, European effort given to attract rich people, domiciled both within and outside of Europe?

Why nOT crEaTE a European bloodstock marketing group, with its own website and advertising campaign jointly financed by the

major European bloodstock-producing countries with a remit to attract the Qatar rich, the russian Tsars, the australian industrialists, the Indian entrepreneurs and the wealthy Japanese?

To an extent it would be an easy sell – we know that many of the very best horses are produced in Europe (see the World Thoroughbred rankings) and whether said investors are looking to buy an unexposed racehorse, a proven horse or a breeding prospect, anyone wanting to become involved in horseracing has to head to Europe.

This strength in depth is not a recent emerging factor – the investment put into bloodstock by Irish breeders, the Maktoum family and French bloodstock families for the last century (and particularly so through the last 20 years) is reaping its rewards with the best stallions and bloodlines found in Europe.

That would be another job for my imaginary European bloodstock marketing group – ensure that the racing and bloodstock environment in Europe is condusive to this continued investment, that those who wish to own stallion farms and breeding empires want bases here and that they can and are encouraged to continue to produce the very best horses for bloodstock and breeding.

Obviously individual countries wish the large studs, with all of their associated financial advantages, to remain behind their own borders, but European bloodstock has to be viewed as whole – foals and yearlings are sold throughout Europe, pin-hookers send their stock to sales in Ireland, Britain, Germany and France, breeders use stallions based throughout Europe.

With the Us thoroughbred continuing to become more alienated as the dirt horse develops almost into a second breed, and the country continually fails to resolves its medication issues, it is a time for Europe to make the most of the year that was 2011.

It is time to divert some profit into a strong and cohesive marketing campaign to take the industry forward on a European-wide and industry-wide basis for the next 50 years.

Calcida (Konigsstuhl-Casella (Frontal))

GErMan BlOODlInEs enjoyed an annus mirabilis around the world in 2011, topped by Danedream’s victory in the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe (G1) and that of

animal Kingdom in the Kentucky Derby (G1). The year also saw several other winners at

the highest level in Germany, Italy and the Us, and in addition carriers of the (GEr) suffix were placed in Group/Grade 1 company in australia, France, Germany, hong Kong, Italy and singapore.

German-breds are renowned as being long on stamina, so it is little wonder that they often excell over the longer distances required in nh racing, as well as on the Flat.

German pedigrees enjoyed a final Grade 1 hurrah for the year at leopardstown on December 27 when cash and Go scored in the Future champions novices’ hurdle (G1) over 2m.

The son of sulamani took his unbeaten record to three this season having scored in a maiden hurdle at Wexford in October and a novice hurdle at Gowran Park in november. Those victories added to his debut win in a Thurles bumper last February, with his record now standing at four wins from seven starts.

From a fairly ordinary novice hurdle at Gowran to Grade 1 class at leopardstown represented a tremendous leap in class, but

From a fairly ordinary novice hurdle at Gowran

to Grade 1 class at Leopardstown represented a tremendous leap in class, but trainer Edward O’Grady

knew exactly what this family is capable of

“

“



trainer Edward O’Grady knew exactly what this family is capable of, having trained cash and Go’s half-brother catch Me to Grade 1 glory in the 2008 hatton’s Grace hurdle and four Grade 2 hurdle wins besides.

Just two months prior to Catch Me’s finest hour, which saw him hold off two former champion hurdle winners in Brave Inca and hardy Eustace in the hatton’s Grace, his half-brother Cash And Go had failed to excite the buyers at the 2008 BBaG september yearling sale with bidding stalling at €30,000.

Given the talent that catch Me was displaying, it was then little surprise that cash and Go found his way to the same yard.

although he is Irish-bred and a son of sulamani, who now stands at yorton Farm in shropshire having also stood in France and at Darley’s Dalham hall in newmarket, cash and Go hails from a line that has been largely based in Germany for nigh on half a century.

The five-year-old was bred by Gestüt Erlenhof in the Bad homburg region of Germany and is descended from a family that has been at the stud since its former owner, the countess Margit Batthyany, who was implicated in nazi war crimes through the war, began breeding from cash and Go’s sixth dam, the Chamossaire mare Chambord in the late 1950s.

Chambord, winner of the 1958 Newmarket Oaks over 1m6f and placed in the yorkshire Oaks, was nothing if not prolific at stud, producing 19 foals.

The most famous of chambord’s large brood is undisputedly caro, the grey son of Fortino who set a track record at longchamp when winning the Group 1 Prix Ganay (G1). Other highlights of his career include a

victory in the Prix d’Isphan (G1) and he was also awarded the Poule d’Essai des Poulains on the disqualification of Faraway Son.

he was twice a Group 2 winner in France, finished second to Mill Reef in the Eclipse (G1) and third to Sassafras in the Prix du Jockey club (G1).

RETIrED TO sTUD in the Us, caro gained further glory as the sire of such Grade 1 winners as cozzene, With approval, the Kentucky Derby heroine Winning colors, the champion

German sire Nebos, and the Prix du Jockey club winner and smart sire crystal Palace. In addition, his legacy is secured as broodmare sire of, among many others, Unbridled’s song, Maria’s Mon and Tactical cat.

caro’s older half-sister cocarde, a daughter of red God, may have shown none of his talent, but she did manage to produce a broodmare of note in her daughter czenia, foaled in Kentucky but repatriated to race in Germany where she earned black type when listed-placed.

czenia produced four stakes winners, three of which were classic-placed, of whom the stand-out was undoubtedly the youngest, Carlton, who finished third in the Deutsches Derby (G1) of 1992 behind Pik Konig and claimed a Group 2 victory in the Idee hansa-Preis at hamburg as well as two further Group 3 successes.

czenia also produced another classic-placed foal in cassis, who took the runner-up spot in the Deutsches St Leger (G2) of 1985 and also finished fourth in the Deutsches Derby.

The youngest of czenia’s stakes winners

was czardas, twice a listed winner in Germany, and that son of Winfwurf was a full-brother to casadei, who won a listed contest herself in 1983, the same year in which she finished second to Novelle in the Preis der Diana (G2).

With strong black-type on her page, it was little wonder that casadei joined her mother in the Erlenhof broodmare band when she retired from the track.

While her progeny did not exactly set the world alight, they did include clipper, fourth in a Group 3 in Germany, and the Frontal mare casella, who won twice as a three-year-old in her native country before also entering the paddocks.

Of the seven winners she has produced the most talented is the hurdler come and Win, a son of Monsun, who scored over hurdles in Italy where he was Grade 1-placed in the Gran corsa di siepi di Milano hurdle.

casella also produced the Konigsstuhl mare Calcida, who won five times as a four-year-old and would go on to distinguish herself as the dam of the two Grade 1-winning hurdlers in Ireland.

Catch Me was Calcida’s first foal, and after him she produced a Lando filly named can’t stop, who unfortunately failed to live up to that moniker and never appeared on a racecourse.

In 2005 a Dai Jin colt arrived – named cajiro he was placed on his only start in Germany – while two years later cash and Go was born.

since foaling cash and Go, calcida has produced the Kris Kin filly Come And Fight, who failed to shine in four starts in Germany before her transfer to trainer Mervyn Torrens in Ireland for whom she has failed to place in both a maiden hurdle and a 1m1f handicap at Dundalk, both runs coming within a week of each other last October.

calcida’s tryst with hurricane run in 2008 produced a filly and the mare also foaled a filly, this time by Silvano, in 2010. She is currently in foal to Presenting, a mating that will huge commercial appeal for the resulting foal, particularly if cash and Go can add further lustre to the family story with victory in the supreme novices’ hurdle at cheltenham in March.

The most famous of Chambord’s large brood is undisputedly Caro, the grey son of Fortino who set

a track record at Longchamp when winning the Group 1 Prix Ganay

IT HAd To be FrAnkel...When we asked Trevor Jones to pick his favourite photograph of 2011, he unhesitatingly selected this image of

Frankel coming home in glorious isolation when winning the Qipco 2,000 Guineas. Trevor describes this photo as “eerie” – the union of Frankel and Tom Quelly as one,

alone on the track with just their shadows for company. You really get the feeling in this image that although there are 1,000s of racegoers watching and relishing a pivotal

moment of the sport, horse and jockey are in their own world of power and action.
