    While 2020 was a year to

    forget for so many around

    the globe, the family behind

    Queensland-based Gleeson

    Thoroughbred Connections will only have the

    fondest of memories when looking back on the

    last 12 months.

    Owners Wally and Jill, who run the relatively

    small-scale breeding operation alongside

    their sons Jacob, Simon and Tom, had the

    breakthrough year they had long dreamed of,

    courtesy of the remarkable Rothfire (Rothesay)

    producing one of 2020’s greatest rags to riches

    stories.

    As a yearling, the Gleeson-bred Rothfire

    was unwanted, unfashionable and rejected

    from even the most minor sales.

    After being overlooked by sales

    representatives and bloodstock agents,

    trainer Rob Heathcote took a chance on him,

    purchasing the son of Rothesay (Fastnet Rock)

    for $10,000. Continued on page 2>>

    Twelve months later, exceeding

    the wildest dreams of both Heathcote and the Gleeson family, Rothfire

    pulversived his fellow two-year-olds to take out the J J Atkins Stakes (Gr 1,

    1400m) by over three lengths.

    It was a result that put Gleeson Thoroughbred Connections on the

    map and, ahead of being represented at the fast-approaching Magic

    Millions Gold Coast Yearling Sale, Jacob Gleeson reflected on what was a

    breakthrough year for the Chinchilla operation, who have between 15 to

    20 mares at their property each year.

    “2020 was a breakout year. Not only Rothfire, but from that crop of

    foals we’ve also had Alleboom who won down the straight at Flemington

    on Cup day,” Gleeson told ANZ Bloodstock News.

    “We’ve had another horse called Love For All who ran second in a

    Group 3 race in New

    Zealand only a few

    weeks ago. So from a

    crop of only 13 foals

    in that year group,

    we’ve had a Group

    1 winner, a Group

    3 placegetter and a

    Flemington winner

    on Cup day.

    “That’s a pretty good year in terms of a second crop of 13 horses. We’ve

    also had a couple of nice two-year-olds step out early and we think there’s

    improvement in them.

    “There’s a really nice one that we sold at Magic Millions last year called

    Ghost Hunter with Ron Quinton. He’s owned by Ray Gall, who is of I Am

    Invincible fame, and they’ve got a big rap on him.

    “He’s just trialled and looks like stepping out in the next few months,

    so we’re very excited about him as well.

    “As a breeding operation we’ve certainly turned a corner in the last

    12 to 18 months and, while this will be a smaller year for us in terms of

    numbers through sales, there’s still certainly still plenty of quality.”

    Gleeson Thoroughbreds have one lot going through the ring at the

    Gold Coast Yearling Sale later this month, a Menari (Snitzel) filly out of

    Iadore Tantrums (Commands).

    The story behind the filly, who Gleeson describes as an “absolute cracker”,

    has multiple strands to it. On the sire's side, Run To The Rose (Gr 2, 1200m)

    winner and Golden Rose (Gr 1, 1400m) third Menari is subfertile and not as

    widely represented across the sale as his connections would have hoped for.

    While on the dam’s side, Iadore Tantrums was tragically found dead in

    the paddock after producing the Menari filly - her fourth foal, with a snake

    bite the suspected cause.

    “It’s an interesting story,” Gleeson explained. “We are relatively new to

    the breeding game and a couple of years ago we

  • were fortuitous enough to meet George

    Altimonte, who we consider to be one of the great breeders in Australia.

    “We met him at the Inglis sale and he was talking about breeding in

    general and raving about Menari and what a great horse he was. At that

    point we decided we needed to send him a mare and we chose Iadore

    Tantrums.

    “His fertility was quite disappointing but we were lucky enough to get

    her in foal off a very early cover.

    “The mare herself has been a bit unlucky, but she’s from one of those

    great Woodlands, Sudden Impulse families that’s produced Clang and

    Strategic. We just love those really good producing families.

    “Unfortunately, she died in the paddock. We think she might’ve been

    bitten by a snake. We just went down to look at them one morning and she

    was unfortunately just dead.

    “So we’ve lost her, but this filly is an absolute cracker. My father, who I

    think is a very good horseman, has just been raving about her intelligence.

    He says this is one of the most intelligent fillies we’ve ever had, so she

    certainly fits the bill there. She’s a really good physical and a lovely walker.

    “The interesting thing is there’s a bit of irony in it. We bred Rothfire,

    who won the Run To The Rose and beat Menari’s race-record time!”

    Menari, who stood at Newgate Farm for a 2020 service fee of $16,500

    (inc. GST), is proving more fertile but is only serving small books.

    As a result, his progeny for sale at the Gold Coast is few and far

    between, and Gleeson explained the effect he thinks that will have on his

    filly and Menari’s other progeny up for auction.

    “I’d like to think it will make the filly more valuable,” he said.

    “There’s some people that will argue a subfertile stallion might not be

    a good proposition as the stallion isn’t going to get a kickalong, but

    when you’ve got a horse that’s

    got a mystique about him that

    Menari has, I think the small

    number of foals will work in

    our favour.

    “He was a very popular and

    highly-regarded racehorse so

    I’m quite confident that will

    work in our favour.

    “I think ours as a physical is

    going to be a standout. Looking

    at the photos of some of the

    others, I think she looks most

    like the stallion out of all the

    Menari pictures I’ve seen.”

    Reflecting on the year as a whole, Gleeson recognises the tremendous

    domino effect that their first stakes winner has had on the business.

    When asked whether their 2020 success has unlocked the door to an

    array of future opportunities, Gleeson responded: “Absolutely. My brother

    was only at the races yesterday and there are good Brisbane trainers

    interested to hear what sort of yearlings we’re putting through the sales.

    “We’re now being recognised at both races and sales alike and what a

    horse like Rothfire has done for our business already is just phenomenal.

    We’re so thankful and privileged to have been part of the Rothfire story.”

    Rothfire landed the Run To The Rose first-up this preparation before

    finishing fourth in the Golden Rose. Unfortunately, with a start in the $15

    million The Everest (1200m) looming, the star three-year-old was found to

    have fractured a sesamoid bone in the Golden Rose, ruling him out for a

    prolonged period of time.

    His recovery is going smoothly, although connections are cautious

    not to get their hopes up as an injury of this kind is not plain sailing to

    recover from.

    “My understanding is he is still down in Sydney, but he’s out in the

    paddock and he’s sound,” said Gleeson. “He’s going to have a good few

    months in the paddock and then the plan is to bring him up to Queensland

    to one of the local pre-trainers that Rob Heathcote used, a very good

    horseman in Kevin Thomas as Washpool, and they’ll slowly start putting

    him through his paces there.

    “We’re all crossing our fingers, but we all realise how a serious injury

    like this can be detrimental. He certainly shows that he’s tenacious enough

    to have the potential to come back from it.”

    Victorian jockeys unable to fly-in, fly-out to QueenslandVictorian jockeys who plan to ride in

    Queensland will no longer be permitted to

    arrive on race-day after Racing Queensland

    adopted recommendations made by the state

    government on Saturday afternoon. Victorian

    jockeys wishing to ride in the state must now

    return a mandatory negative Covid-19 test

    before being permitted to do so, meaning

    those riders who are set to participate at the

    Gold Coast this weekend and at the Magic

    Millions meeting the following Saturday

    will have to arrive in Queensland at least a

    day prior to the respective fixtures. “If they

    are flying in from Victoria, the expectation

    from Racing Queensland, following the

    government’s advice, is they present for

    a Covid-19 test and self-isolate until it’s

    negative,” a Racing Queensland spokesman

    said. The new directive meant local jockeys

    Ben Thompson and Steph Thornton were

    unable to ride at the Sunshine Coast

    yesterday, with both having flown to Victoria

    for Christmas. Neither had time to undertake

    a Covid-19 test and have the results returned

    between the announcement being made and

    the Sunshine Coast fixture getting underway.

    Both Thompson and Thornton were set to be

    tested yesterday afternoon and they hope to

    have their results returned within 24 hours

    before being cleared to ride at Doomben on

    Thursday.

    Magic Millions favourite trials at RosehillShe’s All Class (I Am Invincible), who holds

    favouritism for the Magic Millions 2YO Classic

    (RL, 1200m) at the Gold Coast on January

    16, will trial over 900 metres at Rosehill this

    morning with Kerrin McEvoy to ride. The Chris

    Waller-trained She’s All Class stamped herself

    as the likely favourite for the juvenile feature

    with an emphatic victory in one of the key lead-

    ups, the Magic Millions Wyong 2YO Classic (RL,

    1100m) last month. However, whether McEvoy

    can retain the race-day ride on the filly depends

    on if the Queensland government opens its

    borders to those from Greater Sydney on

    January 8, something that seems increasingly

    unlikely given the emergence of a new cluster

    in Berala. She’s All Class is the $4 favourite with

    TAB for the $2 million contest.

    Neasham to have two MM Classic runnersSaturday’s impressive Eagle Farm winner

    Queen Of Wizardry (Not A Single Doubt) will

    be joined by stablemate Ghostwriter (I Am

    Invincible) in the Magic Millions 2YO Classic

    with trainer Annabel Neasham confirming

    that both Aquis-owned horses will press on

    to the juvenile feature. Ghostwriter sits ninth

    in the order of entry and is guaranteed a start

    and, given vets failed to find anything wrong

    after he finished six lengths from Alpine Edge

    (Better Than Ready) in the BJ McLachlan

    Stakes (Gr 3, 1200m), he will press on to

    the Classic. He will be joined by Queen Of

    Wizardry, who looms as a leading contender

    on the basis of her debut victory. Ranch

    Hand (Fastnet Rock), who finished third as

    odds-on favourite to Queen Of Wizardry last

    weekend, is a possibility to press on to the

    Classic but whether he gains a berth depends

    on what happens in the Aquis Gold Nugget

    (1100m) and the Aquis Gold Pearl (1100m)

    this weekend.

    Thornton eyes Magic Millions paydayThe Queen Of Wizardry mount will be retained

    by Steph Thornton, who is building a handy

    book of rides as she looks for her biggest day

    in the saddle at the Gold Coast. The 21-year-

    old will also partner Gotta Kiss (Not A Single

    Doubt), who finished second in the Vo Rogue

    Plate (Gr 3, 1400m), in the $2 million Magic

    Millions 3YO Guineas (RL, 1400m), while she

    has been booked to ride The Odyssey (Better

    Than Ready) in the $1 million Magic Millions

    Snippets (1200m) and Testashadow (Testa

    Rossa) in the $1 million Magic Millions Cup

    (RL, 1400m), a race he won in 2017. “Queen Of

    Wizardry looks pretty smart, she surprised a few

    of us,” Thornton told Racing.com. “Annabel said

    to me before the race that she might be looking

    for a bit further but she’d be hitting the line

    strongly and she definitely did that. The way she

    won it, knowing it was only her first start and

    there’s going to be some natural improvement,

    it’s pretty exciting going into the Millions. And

    Gotta Kiss was very gallant; unfortunately it was

    one of those situations where she experienced

    bad luck through nobody else’s fault. She still

    had a nice run throughout but she’s very much

    a momentum horse and being on the fence was

    exactly where we didn’t want to be. I thought

    she did a brilliant job to run second, four weeks

    between runs up to the 1400 metres, and we

    know that she’s also going to take improvement

    out of yesterday. She’s been set for the Millions

    and we know she runs out a strong 1400 metres.”

    pair bound for other targets. All roads lead to

    the Golden Slipper Stakes (Gr 1, 1200m) for

    Captivant, who has only recently returned to

    work and will be given a Sydney preparation. As

    for Astrologer, who already has a stakes-placing

    paddock after a fair fourth in the B J McLachlan

    Stakes (Gr 3, 1200m). The Snowdens will still be

    represented in the Classic by Mura Mura (Not A

    Single Doubt), who remains a maiden after four

    outings but is comfortably assured of a start.

    She is raced by American operation Stonestreet

    Stables, who had another maiden - Stellar

    Pauline (Not A Single Doubt) - finish second to

    Away Game (Snitzel) last year.

    Gleneagles joins PayneMagic Millions Wyong 2YO Classic runner-up

    Gleneagles (Capitalist) will miss the main event

    at the Gold Coast and will change stables after

    finishing fifth to Queen Of Wizardry on Saturday.

    The Aramco Racing-owned Gleneagles - not to

    be confused with his namesake, the four-time

    Group 1 winner and Coolmore stallion - was

    prepared by Trent Busuttin and Natalie Young

    for his first two starts. However, he will now be

    based at David Payne’s Rosehill stables and will

    aim towards some of the bigger Sydney features.

    Aramco Racing, one of Singapore’s biggest

    operations, is increasing its Australian portfolio

    with two-time Singapore Group 1 winner

    Aramaayo (Poet’s Voice) - who was a Group 3

    winner and Group 1-placed in Australia when

    racing as Aramayo for Godolphin - set to join

    Chris Waller in the coming weeks.

    Portland Sky to spellAnother horse set to miss Magic Millions day

    is Red Anchor Stakes (Gr 3, 1200m) winner

    Portland Sky (Deep Field) after he finished

    a 14-length last in the Vo Rogue Plate on

    Saturday. Trainer Matt Laurie told SEN Track’s

    Andrew Bensley that the horse had jarred up

    on the good track, although he didn’t totally

    blame the surface for the poor effort, and that

    the preparation would be aborted.

    Barade heads for TasmaniaSaturday’s winner of the Magic Millions Shoot

    Out Quality (2206m), Barade (Havana Gold),

    will forego his wildcard position in the Magic

    Millions Subzero (2400m) on January 16 and

    instead head for Tasmania to contest the

    Hobart Cup (Gr 3, 2400m) and the Launceston

    Cup (Gr 3, 2400m). Barade, who began his

    career in Scandinavia, scored his second win in

    three starts under a well-timed Jim Byrne ride

    at the weekend as he led home an OTI Racing

    quinella, with Grey Lion (Galileo) in second.

    Mercy bound for Oakleigh PlateImproving sprinter Sword Of Mercy (Sebring)

    will test her Oakleigh Plate (Gr 1, 1100m)

    credentials when she next lines up in

    the Kensington Stakes (Listed, 1000m) at

    Flemington on January 16. Trained by Mathew

    Ellerton and Simon Zahra, Sword Of Mercy took

    12 starts to break her maiden, but she made

    it four wins from seven outings since when

    recording the second metropolitan success

    of her preparation in Saturday’s Benchmark

    84 handicap over 1100 metres at Caulfield. “I

    thought it was a pretty good win,” Zahra told

    RSN on Sunday morning. “She was a little bit

    further back than we thought she might be and

    I love the way she just pinned the ears back

    and ran through the line. Six months ago, she

    probably would have been beaten - she was

    doing a bit wrong and not really knowing how

    to hit the line. She went into Flemington (first-

    up) a little bit underdone and we were a little

    bit worried, but (her win) just shows you her

    class. She might be our best sprinter come the

    next couple of months.” Looking ahead, Zahra

    added: “I think she’s an ideal Oakleigh Plate

    horse. If we can get her rating up and win next

    start then she’s just knocking on the door of the

    Oakleigh Plate. She goes well at Caulfield, she’d

    get in well at the weights, they generally go

    pretty quick and if she can hit the line like she

    did yesterday then it looks a nice target for her.”

    $382 purchase gives Lawrence greatest satisfactionThe victory of Little Red Fox (Honalee) in a

    Burrumbeet maiden on New Year’s Day might

    have seemed innocuous at the time, but the

    six-year-old’s success was an emotional one for

    several reasons. Not only did the win mark the

    first career victory for fledgling trainer Emma

    Collins, but it was also the most satisfying

    success in the career of apprentice Mikaela

    Lawrence, who carried her family’s brand

    new pink and white colours into the winner’s

    enclosure for the first time. In addition, Little

    Red Fox - who Lawrence rode to finish sixth of

    six in her second outing at Clare in April 2019 -

    was purchased by the Lawrence family for just

    $382 having been spotted in a mixed auction at

    the Echuca Horse Sale last year. Initially bought

    to be given a home, Little Red Fox was returned

    to training having thrived in the paddock and

    she scored a heartwarming first win when

    coming home by the narrowest of margins on

    Friday. “We still haven’t come down from cloud

    nine,” Lawrence told RSN. “It’s just a maiden at

    Burrumbeet but for us, given where the horse

    came from, it was amazing."

    Maskiell shakes demons to ride 500 winnersJason Maskiell rode his 500th winner at Sale

    yesterday when he partnered the Mario

    Farrugia-trained Plymouth Road (Tavistock)

    to a surprise victory in the Benchmark 64

    handicap over 1740 metres. The landmark

    was a significant one for Maskiell, who made

    an immediate impact in his first full season

    riding in Victoria in 2009-2010, being crowned

    champion apprentice and sharing joint-

    second with Glen Boss in the Melbourne

    premiership. However, in a turbulent three-

    year period, Maskiell was twice suspended

    for testing positive for the drug ice (crystal

    methamphetamine) and he subsequently quit

    race-riding for almost three years. He returned

    to the saddle in Tasmania in 2017 and has

    enjoyed success from his Gippsland base since

    moving back to Victoria. The 30-year-old later

    made it a double on the card by securing his

    501st success on Creative Lad (Denman).

    Laming fined $5,000Trainer Richard Laming has been fined

    $5,000 having pleaded guilty to a charge

    of engaging in conduct detrimental to the

    interests of racing. Laming appeared before

    comments towards track rider Darshan

    Prakish. The inquiry was initially adjourned

    before Laming was charged under AR228(e).

    In assessing the penalty, stewards took into

    account Laming’s guilty plea, his record

    and noted the serious nature of the offence.

    Meanwhile, Laming continues to await his

    penalty having pleaded guilty to the charge

    of presenting Iam Ekstraordinary (Ekraar) to

    race with an elevated cobalt level at Ballarat

    in May 2018. The trainer is also set to defend

    two separate charges laid by stewards in

    February relating to the alleged race-day

    stomach tubing of Jamaican Rain (Manhattan

    Rain) on Melbourne Cup Day in 2019.

    NEW ZEALAND

    Melody Belle on track for Trentham featureJamie Richards had plenty of firepower in

    racing action on the track at Ellerslie on New

    Year’s Day, but also took the time to stretch

    the legs of some of his team members being

    set for upcoming major assignments. Dual

    Horse of the Year Melody Belle (Commands),

    exciting three-year-old Need I Say More (No

    Nay Never) and New Zealand Derby (Gr 1,

    2400m) prospect Supreme Khan (Mongolian

    Khan) each had a day out in preparation for

    their respective goals over the next few weeks.

    Not seen in New Zealand since her win in the

    Livamol Classic (Gr 1, 2040m) in October,

    having finished third in the Mackinnon

    Stakes (Gr 1, 2000m) in November, Melody

    Belle worked home nicely over 1000 metres,

    which she covered in 59 seconds, clocking

    her last 600 metres in 34 seconds. “She was

    on the bridle, quickened, and seemed very

    happy to be out there,” rider Opie Bosson said.

    “She was flying back to the birdcage too.” The

    winner of seventeen of her 35 starts and NZ$4

    million in prize-money, Melody Belle will

    head to Trentham on January 30 to contest

    the Thorndon Mile (Gr 1, 1600m) where she

    will attempt to equal the record of mighty

    mare Sunline (Desert Sun) with 13 Group 1

    wins. “She’s scheduled to trial on January 12

    at Matamata, ahead of the Thorndon Mile,”

    Richards said.

    Richards three-year-olds bound for Karaka Million nightNeed I Say More and Supreme Khan also hit out

    well, covering 1000 metres in 61 seconds, with

    both stretching out nicely to finish on terms.

    The winner of four of his six starts, including

    three at stakes level, Need I Say More is likely to

    trial at Matamata before heading to the Almanzor

    Trophy (Gr 3, 1200m) on Karaka Million night at

    Ellerslie. “He’s a very fit horse, but still a bit light

    through the middle and next season will be his

    go,” Richards said. “He’ll have two or three runs

    and that could include the weight-for-age Group

    1 over 1400 metres at Te Rapa on February 13.

    Supreme Khan has improved since his spring

    campaign in the South Island, developing into

    a nice horse, and he’ll go to the three-year-old

    over 1400 metres next Saturday at Awapuni.

    Depending how he goes, we could look to the

    Karaka Million 3YO Classic at Ellerslie with him.”

    Il Affare to continue on Oaks pathCo-trainer Dawn Williams was in a

    philosophical mood when assessing the

    performance of promising three-year-old Il

    Affare (Dundeel), who overcame a troubled

    passage to finish third in the Royal Stakes (Gr 2,

    2000m) at Ellerslie on New Year’s Day. The filly

    got well back in the early stages of the race and

    was then held up at a vital stage in the run home

    before flashing home out wide to claim her

    minor placing. While she holds a nomination

    for the Levin Classic (Gr 1, 1600m) at Trentham

    in a fortnight as well as the New Zealand Derby

    in early March, Williams reiterated the New

    Zealand Oaks (Gr 1, 2400m) on March 21 is Il

    Affare’s main target. “It was probably the draw

    that cost her at Ellerslie as she had to get back

    and then be ridden for luck,” Williams said.

    “The winner (Needle And Thread) dominated

    from in front so that made it hard for the rest of

    them. She is a pretty relaxed filly and seemed

    to handle the 2000 metres okay which is a good

    sign. The Oaks is her main target so what we do

    in the meantime is the question. We’d like to

    freshen her up a little and then put a programme

    together to get there (to the Oaks). The constant

    racing takes a toll on them, so you’ve got to be

    patient and look after them along the way.”

    Dream filly makes successful debut at Te ArohaTrainer Ken Rae knew he had just the sort of filly

    he likes dealing with when he picked her up on

    the float on the way home from a trip away. The

    Super Easy (Darci Brahma) weanling had been

    purchased by Rae for owner Sue Martin off the

    gavelhouse.com site and needed to be collected

    from Mark and Denny Baker’s Hallmark Stud.

    Rae was bringing home experienced performers

    Kaharau (Ad Valorem) and Blanco Bay (Cape

    Blanco) and was taken with how the filly handled

    herself throughout the process. “Sue had asked

    me to bid for her on gavelhouse and I think we

    got her for $1,500,” Rae said. “I was bringing home

    Kaharau and Blanco Bay one day and stopped

    off at Hallmark to collect her. She walked straight

    on the float without a care in the world which

    had me thinking she was my type of horse, easy

    to handle.” Race took his time with the filly, now

    named Dream Queen, and gave her two trials

    before electing to start her over 1000 metres at Te

    Aroha yesterday. Under the guidance of Jasmine

    Fawcett, Dream Queen scored by more than a

    length in impressive fashion. “She showed us at

    her recent trial that she had some ability as she

    ran second to a smart one of Richard Collett’s,” he

    said. “The third horse that day came out and won

    first up at Awapuni, so I knew we had one that

    could gallop. The way she won today was great,

    so I’ll need to have a think about what to do next.

    I don’t have anything planned, but if she came

    out and won again, then a race like the Matamata

    Breeders’ Stakes might well be a target for her.”

    favourites, Life Is Good was hardly asked for an

    effort by Mike Smith as he led from pillar to post;

    even with stablemate Medina Spirit (Protonico)

    bearing down fast, it was still a comfortable

    three-quarter length margin at the finish, with

    a further 13 lengths to Parnelli (Quality Road)

    in third. Life Is Good is the first stakes winner

    from two foals to race out of Distorted Humor

    (Forty Niner) mare Beach Walk and comes from

    the same family as Australian Group 3 winner

    Spectroscope (Medaglia d’Oro). Into Mischief

    BY TOM PEACOCK | RACING POST

    When you try to breed at "the

    pointy end of the market"

    like Bob Scarborough, there

    are only so many chances a

    broodmare can have to produce something of

    note before she starts to resemble a particularly

    expensive pet.

    It had been heading that way with Cabaret

    (Galileo), the mare the Australian had selected

    at some cost from Coolmore. Then Magna

    Grecia (Invincible Spirit) came along.

    "I’d nearly given up," Scarborough admits.

    "The first foal by Danehill Dancer [Prance] was

    a cracking good sort and was bought by the

    Niarchos family but I believe she split a pastern

    as a two-year-old. I think she was possibly a filly

    who may well have had racing ability but when

    she came back she was mediocre. Then she had

    three more foals who did very little.

    "I entered her in the broodmare sale the

    year before last, then Magna Grecia came out

    and won the old Racing Post Trophy [Vertem

    Futurity] and of course as soon as he did that I

    changed my mind.

    "A couple of months before, I’d thought, 'There’s

    some chance I’ll get a little bit of money for this

    mare, she’s not actually a dud, I’d better stick

    her in the sale while I can get something back'."

    How Cabaret has compensated

    Scarborough for her reprieve. Magna Grecia

    went on to give him one of the thrills of his

    lifetime in breeding by taking the 2,000 Guineas

    (Gr 1, 1m) before his half-brother St Mark’s

    Basilica (Siyouni) – sold for a considerably

    upgraded 1,300,000 gns (approx. AUD$2.43

    million) – took championship honours in

    October’s Dewhurst Stakes (Gr 1, 7f).

    "I’m a bit fortunate to still have her, to

    tell the truth," he says. "If Magna Grecia had

    strained something or other and didn’t run at

    Doncaster, the mare would be gone. Then he’d

    have come out and won the Guineas. But these

    things happen."

    It had been difficult for Victoria-based

    Scarborough to quite gauge St Mark’s Basilica’s

    position in Aidan O’Brien’s juvenile pecking

    order, aside from the odd snippet from his Irish

    sources that the colt had been coming along

    nicely enough.

    St Mark’s Basilica had looked a work in

    progress on the track, winning a maiden and

    showing promise in two Group 1s before his

    piece de resistance under Frankie Dettori at

    Newmarket.

    "He was a lovely foal and a lovely yearling

    and to see him develop as he did through

    the season, I thought was terrific," says

    Scarborough. "Clearly the Dewhurst was the

    icing on the cake.

    "When he started off, I think he was basically

    waiting for them to jump [from the stalls], and

    when they jumped, he did. He put himself at

    a terrible disadvantage in those earlier races

    but as things progressed he became more

    confident. Although he was a fair way back in

    the Dewhurst, he was a bit more aggressive and

    finished the race off wonderfully well.

    "He looks terribly promising, I’m so thrilled

    he’s clearly among the horses that would be

    expected to perform well in the 2,000 Guineas

    this year."

    In comparing the two horses, he says:

    "Magna Grecia was a slightly more mature

    horse than St Mark’s Basilica as a foal and as a

    yearling, but in terms of their ability and their

    desire to win and so on, I think that they’re very

    similar horses.

    "Magna Grecia was possibly more

    masculine as a young horse, but as St Mark’s

    Basilica matures it may be he’s a similar type."

    While many look towards Australasia for

    more reliable racing returns, Scarborough

    strides in the opposite direction.

    He sold Wood Nook Farm in Nagambie,

    producer of Group 1 scorers such as Victoria

    Derby (Gr 1, 2500m) winner Hit The Roof

    (Maroof) and Blue Diamond Stakes (Gr 1,

    1200m) victor Sleek Chassis (Flying Spur), a

    few years ago and directed his focus towards a

    small broodmare band at Harry McCalmont’s

    Norelands Stud in Kilkenny.

    Scarborough: ‘I’d nearly given up; I’m a bit fortunate to still have her’

    Magna Grecia RACING PHOTOS

  • | 12 |

    Scarborough’s international interest was

    sparked when he found himself underbidder

    to Sheikh Mohammed for a yearling on his first

    visit to America in the early 1980s, but it was a

    few more years before he put it into practice.

    "I don’t think I really returned to the

    northern hemisphere until the ‘90s, when

    I bought a mare in partnership with John

    Magnier. She was in foal at the time and the

    resulting progeny was [Prix Maurice de Gheest

    winner] King Charlemagne," he recalls.

    "At the time I was heavily involved with 20,

    25 mares and getting going here, particularly

    in the breeding industry, but I’ve always had

    that interest in the northern hemisphere,

    particularly the European pedigrees and their

    influence on the breeding industry in Australia.

    "I’m now terribly involved with six mares

    that I own outright and one I own 50-50 with

    Coolmore. I’d dearly like to have a few more,

    about ten or 12, but it’s getting more and more

    difficult to get the black-type racemares off the

    track, or the proven mares.

    "I love it, I believe they’ve been so much

    the source of the modern thoroughbred, it has

    effectively evolved from Europe."

    The moustached and jovial Scarborough

    is an easily recognisable figure in Australian

    racing. A successful businessman and former

    chairman of a booming Moonee Valley Racing

    Club, he even used to compete on Darien

    Powers, the event horse who won Olympic

    golds for Andrew Hoy in Atlanta and Sydney.

    Growing up with parents who were

    "Presbyterian and had no interest in racing

    or horses or betting or whatever else", he

    still somehow found himself obsessed by

    thoroughbred pedigrees aged 12 and the

    passion has not waned over 60 years.

    "I would spend 20 hours a week in the

    off-season contemplating where these six

    mares of mine would go," he says. "By the

    time the end of the year comes, there are

    all those first-season sires who have had a

    wonderful year, you wonder if you should

    go somewhere else.

    "I’m forever changing my mind and by the

    time you get to a few weeks ago, you pick the

    stallion, then some of the owners turn around

    and say they’re fully booked and you can’t

    come. It’s a year-long adventure for me."

    As he clicked with Magna Grecia,

    Scarborough has returned to the Invincible

    Spirit (Green Desert) line by using his son

    Kingman for Cabaret, and she is expecting a

    foal by the Juddmonte stallion and is to visit

    him again in 2021.

    He is also still the somewhat reluctant

    owner of St Mark’s Basilica’s Siyouni (Pivotal)

    yearling brother, who failed to find a buyer at

    Tattersalls and is in the early stages of education

    for a career with Jessica Harrington.

    He says: "It wasn’t the plan. I was planning

    on getting more than a million guineas for this

    yearling and to my chagrin I’m now a proud

    owner of yet another racehorse!

    "I’m in fear and trepidation because you

    have these expectations of some financial

    reward for your breeding activities and all of

    a sudden you’re in the hands of the gods in

    needing some racetrack performance. But

    anyway, we’ll see what happens. It’s all part of

    the dream for us breeders."

    More Classic dreamingScarborough has kept the odd offspring

    to race for himself and his filly Bonte Moi (Le

    Havre) made one appearance in his silks this

    year for Jessica Harrington.

    Far more has been achieved with her

    stablemate Oodnadatta (Australia), who was third

    in the Moyglare Stud Stakes (Gr 1, 7f) and ninth in

    the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf (Gr 1, 1m).

    "She’s out of Bewitched, who is the mare

    that John Magnier and I share 50-50," he says.

    "We’re hoping she might be a Guineas

    filly, [though] maybe she might be one for a

    little bit later in the year. She’s by Australia, so

    you wouldn’t really expect her to have been as

    precocious as she was in her two-year-old year.

    "She went to the Breeders' Cup and had

    no luck; she missed the start, hit the running

    rail and got tailed off before flying home in the

    straight. So that was a bit of an experience for

    her, but she’s got over that and I’m hoping that

    the Classic races might be on her agenda."

    Bewitched (Dansili) is another of the mares

    who has required some patience.

    Scarborough adds: "She was a very good

    race filly, a Dansili who won multiple Group 3s

    and Listed races.

    "Initially she was a little bit disappointing,

    but not so with the last couple of foals; there’s

    a Group 3 winner [Pablo Escobarr] and the

    three-year-old [Roberto Escobarr] won last

    year. They were stayers and this one’s a bit more

    precocious. She’s got a tick from me finally."

    St Mark's Basillica RACING POST

  • | 13 |

    BY MICHAEL LEE | SPG TURF CLUB

    Freshly-minted Singapore champion

    trainer Michael Clements picked

    up where he left off in 2020

    when newcomer Mortal Engine

    (Unencumbered) provided him with a first

    winner of the new year at the season opener

    yesterday.

    Having saddled a treble at the last meeting

    in 2020 to conclude a wonderful season on

    61 winners, the Zimbabwean-born handler

    showed he had no intentions of letting up on

    his winning momentum at only the second

    race yesterday, the $75,000 Prosperity Stakes, a

    Restricted Maiden race over 1200 metres.

    A former unplaced runner at his only start

    in Australia, Mortal Engine took up the running

    from his handy barrier in two before handing

    up the lead to Bad Boy Black (Gingerbread

    Man) to take a drop in third place, nicely tucked

    away on the rails.

    Turning for home, jockey Louis-Philippe

    Beuzelin duly angled Mortal Engine out for his

    run, mastering Bad Boy Black rather easily, but

    had to contend with Ironprince (Smart Missile),

    who had peeled off his back to issue a stinging

    challenge inside the last furlong.

    But the finishing line came in time for

    the $14 favourite who hung in by a head from

    Ironprince with Kwoi Hoi (Danerich) third,

    another two and three-quarter lengths away.

    The winning time was 1.10.97.

    Clements said he had been confident of

    a forward showing from the new Tivic Stable

    newcomer at his maiden outing, but the heavy

    showers the whole country has come under in

    recent days had dampened his enthusiasm a little.

    “He was pretty disappointing at his only run

    in Australia and it was run on a heavy track. He

    ran terribly,” said Clements.

    “What he’s shown us here in his gallops and

    trials had been very good and were indications

    he’d go well first-up, but there were some

    concerns over the rain-affected track.

    “He handled it very well, though. He

    showed us a lot of speed in his gallops and I

    told Louis to try and get the box-seat from the

    barrier.

    “I think he will improve off that run as

    he still had a bit of condition on him. He had

    every reason to compound in the last bit, but he

    produced a good effort to win.”

    Beuzelin was delighted he had got off to an

    auspicious start to the first meeting of the year,

    which traditionally is held on New Year’s Day

    as the New Year Cup meeting, but the Polytrack

    feature race has been replaced by a Kranji

    Stakes, a race run over the same 1200-metre

    distance.

    “This horse showed me some promise in

    the morning, and he showed a bit of it today,”

    said the French jockey.

    “I think he needed the run, and I think

    he will be better over 1400 metres. It’s an

    excellent start to the new year, Happy New Year

    everybody!”

    Maia lands treble during season opener

    After being widely tipped, even by his 2020

    conqueror Vlad Duric, as the jockey who would

    make this 2021 season his own, Ruan Maia took

    a step in the right direction with a treble on the

    opening day of the season yesterday.

    The Brazilian flew off the blocks in the first

    race with Per Incrown (Per Incanto), before

    doubling the dose with Super Invincible (I Am

    Invincible) in race seven and completing the

    big haul with Surpass Natural in the highlight

    of the day, the SD$100,000 Happy New Year

    Stakes.

    As humble as ever, Maia would not read too

    much into the flying start, more so when arch-

    rival Duric was out of action at the inaugural

    race meeting and at the next meeting on

    January 9, currently serving a two-day careless

    riding suspension.

    “It’s a great start, but this is only the first

    meeting. There is still a long way to go,” said

    Champion trainer Clements starts 2021 with a bang courtesy of Mortal Engine

    Mortal Engine STC

  • | 14 |

    the two-time Macau champion jockey who

    narrowly missed out on the Singapore title by

    only three winners to Duric at his very first full

    season last year.

    “Well done to Jerome (Tan, winning trainer

    of two of his treble, Per Incrown and Surpass

    Natural) too, as he’s also the leader today!”

    Tan just laughed off the compliment as he

    knows the cream would eventually rise to the

    top, but the Singaporean handler, who helms

    a medium-size yard with just under 30 horses,

    was glad he has made an auspicious start to the

    new year, especially with two horses who just

    landed at his stables.

    “Both Per Incrown and Surpass Natural

    came to my stables around one month ago, and

    credit must go to their previous trainer, Leticia

    Drgaon,” said Tan, who has also received Group

    winner Exceed Natural (Red Giant), Strong N

    Powerful (Golden Archer) and Sky Eye (Per

    Incanto) (also victorious at his first outing

    under his care) from the same connections.

    “She has kept both horses to the mark and

    has done most of the hard work. They were well

    and fit, and I’m just lucky to get the results.

    “Surpass Natural is a good Polytrack horse

    and that was the race I had targeted for him.

    He’s been trialling very well.

    “I’m not sure what’s next for him. We have

    less racing now and we can’t really plan ahead,

    we’ll just see what happens.”

    Travelling in fourth position not far off

    leader Excelling (Manhattan Rain), Surpass

    Natural loomed as a major threat upon

    straightening without having spent a penny, no

    doubt helped in a big way by the passage left

    wide open when Altair (Zoustar) rolled out and

    carried Webster (Showcasing) off the track at

    the point of the turn.

    One could easily picture Maia chuckling

    to himself at the inviting saloon passage, and

    knowing his above-average strike rate on

    Polytrack, the rest became child’s play. The five-

    year-old slid his way to the front, holding sway

    all the way to the line for a most authoritative

    performance as the $13 favourite.

    Pennywise (Pure Prize) atoned from his

    last-start flop in the Colonial Chief Stakes

    (Listed, 1600m) a fortnight ago with a searching

    run back on the fence inside the last 300 metres

    but could only come within half a length of the

    winner.

    Sacred Rebel (Sepoy) also powered home

    late to finish third another head away, but did

    lug in close home, slightly checking the fast

    finishing last-start winner You Rokk (Artie

    Schiller) who ran fifth, a head away from last

    year’s New Year Cup (Listed, 1200m) winner

    Nowyousee (O’Reilly).

    The winning time was a smart 1.09.89 for the

    1200 metres on the Polytrack, only 0.15 seconds

    slower than the record established by the great

    Rocket Man (Viscount) in the Woodlands

    Handicap (Listed, 1200m) ten years ago.

    With that seventh win from 13 starts,

    Surpass Natural has now amassed in excess of

    SD$300,000 in stakes money for the Sky Eye

    Stable.

    “He’s a very good horse. I think a horse

    (Pennywise) nearly passed him at one stage,

    but he fought back,” said Maia.
