quiff ( foaled 2 march 2001 ) is a british thoroughbred racehorse and broodmare .

bred and owned by khalid abdulla and trained by michael stoute , she was lightly campaigned and ran only six times in three seasons .

after finishing fifth on her only appearance as a two-year-old she won on her debut at three in 2004 and then appeared unlucky when beaten in the ribblesdale stakes .

she then recorded her biggest success when winning the group one yorkshire oaks by eleven lengths .

on her fourth and final race as a three-year-old she was narrowly beaten in the st leger stakes .

her performances led to her being rated the best filly of her generation in the world over staying distances .

after running poorly on her only start in 2005 she was retired from racing and has had some success as a broodmare .

quiff ' s trainer sir michael stoute has yet to win the doncaster classic , and he also had the fourth - placed horse maraahel .

lord derby ` s brilliant dual oaks and breeders ` cup filly & mare turf winner ouija board was named horse of the year at the 2004 cartier racing awards , which were presented at the four seasons hotel in london ` s west end on the evening of wednesday , november 17 . ( please note the embargo )
in the st leger at doncaster on 11 september , rule of law started 3 / 1 joint favourite alongside the michael stoute - trained filly quiff , the winner of the yorkshire oaks . he was the godolphin team ' s sole representative and had been strongly fancied after working impressively in training . [ 9 ] mcevoy sent rule of law into the lead from the start and set a moderate pace before sending him into a clear lead in the straight . in the closing stages he was strongly challenged by quiff , but ran on
gamely
[ 10 ] to win by a head in what the bbc described as a
thrilling finish
. [ 11 ]
with all nine runners reluctant to force the early pace , it was mcevoy who grabbed the race by the scruff of the neck and took up the running after about three furlongs . the australian jockey gradually increased the tempo in the home straight and was never passed , though strongly pressed by the filly quiff who was only a head down at the line .
“that is the hardest thing for people outside racing to understand . they are not machines and you can’t just change the tyres , fill up the oil , or whatever . when a horse is on form it always looks like smooth clockwork , but getting them to the races and in the best shape of mind is not an easy thing to do . ”
seek again has run well in all three of his starts this year at 4 for trainer bill mott , running a superlatively game second to two - time horse of the year wise dan in the grade 1 woodford reserve turf classic , falling short by a head , and finishing third behind real solution and kaigun in the grade 1 manhattan before his fourstardave victory .
no horse in europe this season has made a greater impression than kingman . and when the john gosden - trained 3 - year - old miler , winner of the g1 st james’s palace stakes at royal ascot last month , lines up in wednesday ' s g1 sussex stakes at goodwood , he is favourite to add another momentous chapter to the khalid abdullah story .
fallon said of quiff :
she has run a terrific race . i thought we were going to get there , but there had been no pace and the winner pulled out a little bit more when we got to him . the ground didn ' t really suit her . it ' s a pity we didn ' t have the rain - things might have been different .
bago , also a contender for horse of the year another niarchos family homebred , was honored as 3 - year - old colt . the colt trained by jonathan peace posted group i victories in the prix de l ' arc de triomphe at longchamp , the prix jean prat at chantilly and the grand prix de paris at longchamp . he is also set to race in 2005 .
in the middle section of the commercial market , the one that catches the eye is bated breath . from a solid sample of yearlings that went through the sales ring , his numbers read very well . just as significantly given that he represents the powerful owner / breeders juddmonte , it is worth noting that they have retained 19 of his 2 - year - olds . these include a half - sister to kingman that will be trained by john gosden , a half - brother to twice over , a half - sister to quiff , a daughter of quiff , a half - brother to main aim and a half - sister to reefscape . he has the profile , the weight of numbers and the quality of mare behind him to give him every chance to make a serious impact with his first runners .
robbie williams is just great ! he does what he likes , give a horse ' s ass about media and covers a great oldies song now and then . what more to ask from a tattooed millionnaire ? iz . _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ . . for greater good - ambient music for the masses . . . . .
sir michael stoute is seeking to saddle the winner of the yorkshire oaks for a remarkable tenth time , although he has been out of luck in the race since quiff registered his ninth success in 2004 . he relies on queen’s trust , who won the grade 1 breeders ' cup filly & mare turf at santa anita last year after finishing third in the yorkshire oaks , and abingdon , a three - time listed race winner .
lord derby ' s v05 breeders ' cup filly & mare turf ( gr . it ) winner ouija board was named horse of the year at the 2004 cartier racing awards during a ceremony wednesday night at the four seasons hotel in london , england . two kentucky - breds - - 2 - year - old male colt shamardal and 2 - year - old filly divine proportions - - received cartier awards for their respective divisions
a beautifully balanced , lengthy bay horse with a good shoulder and a straight , strong hind leg , safler ' s wells stood 16 hands . he was a fluent mover despite habitually racing with his head carried high . he possessed tactical speed , a fine turn of foot , and great tenacity . he was slightly light on bone and could be faulted for long pasterns , traits which he has often passed to his stock .
a delighted mcevoy added :
i didn ' t really want to go on , but there wasn ' t much pace so i was able to dictate it . i increased the pace from three furlongs out and i could hear kieren ' s horse coming . i was just hoping the post would come in time .
asked to compare the victory with winning the melbourne cup , he went on :
it ' s right up there .

bago , another of the contenders for the cartier horse of the year award , was rewarded for a fabulous year that included group one wins in the prix de l ` arc de triomphe at longchamp , the prix jean prat at chantilly and the grand prix de paris at longchamp by landing the cartier three - year - old colt award . trained by jonathan pease at chantilly and owned by the niarchos family , the three - year - old nashwan colt is also set to race next year .
another proven producer is juddmonte’s posteritas ( lear fan ) ( lot 1810 ) who , as well as being a listed winner herself , is the dam of g1 prix jean prat winner mutual trust ( gb ) ( cacique { gb } ) among her five black - type performers . selling in foal to kingman ( gb ) , posteritas is one of 58 fillies or mares in the juddmonte consignment , which also includes g1 yorkshire oaks winner quiff ( gb ) ( sadler’s wells ) , who is lot 1734 and is in foal to holy roman emperor ( ire ) .
frankel received yet another boost to his glowing page when his full - brother noble mission ( gb ) ( galileo { ire } ) garnered three group 1 events in 2014 , culminating in the g1 champion s . oct . 18 , and that juddmonte homebred recently arrived at lane’s end farm in kentucky , where he will take up stud duty in 2015 . lord grimthorpe shed some light on the decision to stand the 5 - year - old in the u . s . , explaining , “we looked at various options for him . lane’s end came up with a very good solution for all of us , including the horse . ”
what this figure should be is a subject that could be debated all night , as there is obviously a great variety in costs based on individual circumstances ranging from the breeder that keeps the horse on their own land at minimum expense right up to the owner that boards his horses from birth at high - profile farms at much greater expense . the figure i have decided to use to best reflect an industry - wide average is 6 , 000gns . adding this amount into the equation on top of the nomination fee certainly levels up the playing field and indeed swings the statistical balance back in favour of sires that stood at higher fees .
seek again’s third dam , donut’s bunnie , was bred by the late verne h . winchell , whose son , ron , campaigns the prominent 3 - year - olds untapable and tapiture this year , and was purchased by belair after her racing career . winchell built his first fortune through a chain of doughnut shops in california , earning the sobriquet the “donut king , ” a name he passed on to the first horse he bought at public auction . one of the best horses sired by the 1954 kentucky derby winner determine , donut king won the 1961 champagne stakes and ran second in the garden state stakes and hawthorne gold cup , all grade 1 - caliber events at the time .
rule of law , described by timeform as a
leggy , attractive
[ 1 ] bay horse , was bred in the united states by robert sangster . he is one of many notable thoroughbred racehorses [ 2 ] sired by kingmambo , a son of mr . prospector . his dam , crystal crossing , as a descendant of the successful racehorse and broodmare violetta , was closely related to the derby winner teenoso . [ 3 ] before the start of his racing career , rule of law was acquired by sheikh mohammed who sent him into training with david loder at newmarket , suffolk . for the 2004 season , the colt was transferred to the godolphin racing organisation and was trained by saeed bin suroor .
juddmonte stands seven sires at its banstead manor stud in newmarket , a number that appears small compared to some of the bloodstock business’s other superpowers , but that septet oozes quality all the way through , its established flagbearers including dansili and oasis dream . the first weanlings to hit european sales rings by frankel at recent foal sales included the €1 . 8 million record - sitting filly out of finsceal beo ( ire ) at goffs , and another juddmonte freshman , bated breath ( gb ) , has had his first foals sell for up to $ 107 , 000 in recent weeks . juddmonte will unveil another heavyweight next year when four - time group 1 winner and cartier horse of the year kingman ( gb ) ( invincible spirit { ire } ) covers his first book .

the 3 - 1 joint favourites were followed home by the strong - finishing tycoon , who was a length and half away in third .
there are no plans for him this year , but he will be kept in training , when i think he ' ll drop back to middle distances .
darryll holland said of tycoon :
he travelled really well but i could have done with a faster pace and i was just not quite getting there . but he has run a good race .
the other pattern race on the card , the group two polypipe flying childers over five furlongs , was won impressively by chateau istana . the nick littmoden - trained colt , who showed a smart turn of foot to beat tournedos by two lengths , was a royal ascot winner in june before flopping when tried over an extra furlong at newmarket .
you can write off his last run as he had an infection a few days afterwards .
also ran : 9 - 2 let the lion roar , 8 maraahel ( 4th ) , 12 go for gold , 16 frank sonata , 25 mikado ( 5th ) , 33 darsalam ( 6th ) .

tycoon , a 9 - 1 shot ridden by darryll holland , came in third .
mcevoy became the first australian since 1969 to win racing ' s last classic of the season .
this is his first season racing in europe and the win came just six days after he landed his first group one victory in europe on warsaan in germany .
this is right up there with my melbourne cup win . what a way to cap my first season here , to win a classic in what ' s a foreign country to me ,
mcevoy said .
rule of law was smartly out of the stalls and was soon disputing it up front with mikado as the nine runners set out at a slow pace .
as mcevoy slowly wound up the pace from the front , the field became strung out .
the filly collected herself well but she just could not find enough extra while tycoon , who had hunted round at the back of the pack , accelerated through the fading runners to claim third .
trained by ed dunlop won the vodafone oaks ( eng - i ) at epsom and the darley irish oaks ( ire - i ) at the curragh . previous to shipping to lone star park for her breeders ' cup triumph , ouija board finished third in the prix de l ' arc de triomphe ( fr - i ) at longchamp .
, shamardal was sold as a yearling for 50 , 000 guineas and was undefeated in three races as a juvenile . included in his victories were the veuve clicquot vintage ( eng - ii ) , in which he defeated eventual bessemer trust breeders ' cup juvenile ( gr . i ) winner wilko , and the darley dewhurts stakes ( eng - i ) .
out of myth to reality , divine proportions is a homebred racing for the niarchos family under trainer pascal bary . undefeated in five starts , divine proportions won two french group i races - - prix morny at deauville and the prix marcel boussac at longchamp – as well as the prix robert papin ( f - ii ) and prix du bois ( fr - iii ) .
somnus , trained by tim easterby , won the cartier sprinter award , with his french group i successes including the prix maurice de gheest at deauville . he is a 4 - year - old pivotal gelding .
award of merit for the person or persons who , in the opinion of a 21 - member cartier jury , have done most for european racing and / or breeding either over their lifetime or within the past 12 months goes to david and patricia thompson , owners of the cheveley park stud in newmarket .

i have always found it puzzling and annoying that people take this gurning , cabaret singing twerp seriously . 14 year old girls , i can understand why , but when the ' indie ' crowd began to think he was cool , i thought the world had gone mad . his new song is ' s * * t ' , almost as bad as the girls aloud new single . they don ' t even try these days do they ? _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ and we are nothing but experience in the eyes of nature , and we will live forever in the eyes of nature .
and when you start to think about death , you start to think about what ' s after it . and then you start hoping there is a god . for me , it ' s a frightening thought to go nowhere

no , a thousand times no . he ' s the 90s version of donny osmond or a bay city roller . ok , some of his early songs had quality but were just plain slushy pop . the housewife ' s choice _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ and we are nothing but experience in the eyes of nature , and we will live forever in the eyes of nature .

the mackenzie river wolf ( canis lupus mackenzii ) is a subspecies of the gray wolf , canis lupus , and is found in the canadian northwest territories .

not much has been " published " on canis lupus mackenzii but one of the most comprehensive studies was done in 1954 by w.a. fuller , wolf control operations , southern mackenzie district , canada wildlife service report .

in 1992 , this wolf was re-classified as canis lupus occidentalis , the mackenzie valley wolf , common with wolves in alaska and western canada .

mackenzie river wolf

the canis lupus occidentalis which also goes by the mackenzie valley wolf , the alaskan timber wolf , the canadian timber wolf , or the rocky mountain wolf , was classified as a gray wolf subspecies in 1829 by sir john richardson , m . d . it is one of the largest wolf subspecies in north america .
a pack of mackenzie river wolves - a north american wolf - has been a feature at highland wildlife park , kincraig , near aviemore , since 1972 .
ross minett , director of campaign group advocates for animals , said the mackenzie river wolf pack should have been allowed to
live out their lives in peace
.
the wildlife park ' s mackenzie river pack arrived in 1972 , but breeding of the animals ended in 2000 .

the mackenzie valley wolf also known as the northwestern timber wolf is a subspecies of gray wolf found in western north america . it ranges from the upper mackenzie river valley into central alberta . it is believed that the mackenzie valley wolf is descended from the last eurasian wolf to move into north america . sir john richardson first described the species in 1829 . the mackenzie valley wolf has been involved in two fatal human attacks . a coroner ' s inquest found that 22 year old kenton carnegie was killed by a pack of wolves in northern saskatchewan on november 8 , 2005 , making it the first documented case of fatal wolf attack in the wild in north america . carnegie ' s body was found near a garbage dump where wolves scavenged . evidence supports the belief that 32 - year - old candice berner was attacked and killed in 2010 by two or more wolves while jogging near the village of chignik lake on the alaska peninsula . wolf dna was recovered from berner ' s clothing and matched dna from wolves later shot in the area . the forensic evidence was consistent with the injuries to berner and the wolf tracks found around her body . both victims were fed upon . wolf attacks in canada are linked to habituation .
a pack of mackenzie river wolves , normally found in north america , had been a feature at the highland wildlife park , kincraig , near aviemore , since 1972 .
pack dynamic is the term used to describe how every wolf knows its place within its group .
this hierarchy continues down through the pack to the omega wolf , which is usually picked on by the others .
range : original range – northwest territories , canada current range – east of the mackenzie river , from the arctic coast to south of great bear lake . possibly as far south as great slave lake . northwest territories , canada
the catchy name
mackenzie river husky
was coined from newcomers seeing the freight huskies and not being able to differentiate the different villages while passing through an area . the locals knew the huskies by their different villages , naming them accordingly : old crow dogs , ft . mcpherson dogs , arctic red dogs , porcupine river dogs , hay river dogs , etc . the name really took hold in the 1960s , from which the distortions grew , especially as the freight husky began to disappear .
status like most other wolves , human activity ( hunting , trapping , etc . ) is by far the greatest threat . however , protection given to the mackenzie valley wolf has allowed its population to increase drammatically . the wolf population in alaska was estimated between 7 , 000 and 10 , 000 in 2006 . wolf population in the northern rocky mountains ( greater yellowstone area , nw montana , and idaho ) was estimated to be about 1200 and increasing . the u . s . fish and wildlife services has decided to remove the gray wolf from the federal endangered list in the northern rockies and the western great lakes . courts have overturned attempts in the past to remove them from the list . legal battles are expected .
the mackenzie valley wolf weighs from 100 to 145 pounds . one weighing 175 pounds was caught in alaska in 1939 . their average length is from 5 to 7 feet in length , from the tip of the nose to the end of the tail . they can reach speeds of 40 miles per hour and travel as many as 70 miles per day . their coat consists of an outer layer composed of coarse guard hairs and a soft undercoat . they moult in late spring . the most common coat color is grey flecked with black , with lighter underparts , but individuals and populations also occur that are red , brown , black or almost pure white . the mackenzie valley wolf is no longer considered endangered .
the
mackenzie river husky
is a catch all name , that can describe vastly different dogs depending on who is using that name . it can be used as follows : the mythical best northern sled dog ever ; as a sales tool to sell mixed breed mutts or unwanted litters ; in plain ignorance because someone said thats what the dog was ; someone trying to recreate the breed based on the falsehood that they are a mix of wolf , malamute and st . bernard or some other unlikely working dog combination ion ; or the truth that they are a freight husky , all but extinct .
a spokeswoman for the park said the catalyst for recent problems was that the pack ' s leader died of natural causes some time ago and the female did not accept the next male wolf in the pecking order .
habitat mackenzie valley wolves inhabit much of western canada and alaska including unimak island . in 1995 - 96 , they were brought from canada to restore populations in yellowstone national park and central idaho . in alaska , wolf packs are usually 6 to 12 wolves , though some packs may be as large as 20 to 30 . their territories in alaska average about 600 square miles . in yellowstone , pack size averages 9 . 2 wolves with average territory size of 348 square miles . in idaho , pack size averages 11 . 1 with territories averaging 364 square miles .
i am an alaskan born resident who first came across these magnificent huskies when i moved to an interior alaskan bush community in the mid - 1970s . my research and consequential breeding program began in 1990 after the passing on of my last freight husky . in complete ignorance , i started asking questions and researching libraries for the truth instead of rumors and myths surrounding these dogs , and at the same time trying to locate any that resembled my old working huskies . i kept getting conflicting information both from people and from the small amount of published information i could find . i looked at a motley variety of dogs with only a precious few resembling my huskies , all claiming to be mackenzie river huskies .
diet the size of mackenzie valley wolves is partially due to their large abundance of food . they will prey on wood bison , elk , caribou , musk ox , moose , dall sheep , sitka black - tailed deer , mountain goat , beaver , ground squirrel , vole , snowshoe hare , lemmings , and salmon .

wolves at a scottish wildlife park have been culled and replaced with another sub - species of the animal .
but experts said the six animals had to be euthanised because they were
not portraying their natural behaviour
.
the park is now part of a breeding programme involving seven rare scandinavian wolves .
park owners , the royal zoological society of scotland , said the cull followed lengthy discussion and research and with the approval of the animal welfare and ethics committee .
the society said that in the past five years the six wolves stopped
portraying their natural behaviour
, or pack dynamic , which it said was essential to the survival of the species .
society chief executive david windmill said :
animal management is a complex , difficult but rewarding work .
with any kind of management , at times difficult decisions need to be taken and this was one of those times .
the welfare of the animal is always paramount in our minds and no decision is made until a full investigation has been carried out , taking into account all aspects of the species and situation .
he added :
in the wild , animals are competing in the deadly game of ' survival of the fittest ' .
the challenge will be to manage them in captivity to the best of our ability in the future , until perhaps one day ' the wild ' is safe enough for their return .
an alpha pair leads the pack and the top male and female have a second - in - command called a beta male and beta female .
only the alpha pair is allowed to breed within the pack , but all the wolves take responsibility for caring for the cubs .
the wolves were aged between six and eight years old and were put down in january .
two new females from scandinavia have been introduced to the park and will be joined by five males in about a month .
he said :
zoos have a responsibility for these animals and not just treat them as a disposable commodity .
on the pack dynamic , mr minett said the wolves would have lost this behaviour because they had been kept in a controlled environment .

characteristics average males weigh between 100 and 145 pounds with females weighing roughly 10 to 20 percent less . the heaviest on record was caught in alaska in 1939 , weighing 175 pounds . though the guinness book of animal world records mentions an unconfirmed specimen weighing 230 pounds . they measure 32 to 36 inches shoulder height and 5 to 7 feet in length , from the tip of the nose to the end of the tail . their long , powerful legs allow them to travel as far as 70 miles a day , and through rough terrain like deep snow . they can reach speeds of up to 40 miles an hour for short periods of time . their skull measures about 12 inches long . a combination of powerful jaw and neck muscles allows them to break bones and bring down large prey .
breeding breeding season usually occurs in february . the dominant male and female of the pack breed in attempt to keep up the strength of the pack . usually 63 days after breeding , 4 to 6 pups are born . they leave the den in 4 to 6 weeks , and by fall , they are large enough to travel and hunt with the pack . they become full - grown in 6 to 8 months , and sexually mature at about 22 months .
a wildlife park has culled a pack of wolves because it feared the animals would eventually kill each other .
however , it has been revealed that the remaining six animals , aged between six and eight , have been destroyed because they were no longer displaying natural behaviour .
the royal zoological society of scotland , which owns the park as well as edinburgh zoo , said the deaths were carried out humanely and with the backing of the independent animal welfare and ethics committee .
animals rights protesters have condemned the move , but the society says it was done after prolonged discussion and research .
when things start to go wrong and they lose their pack structure they start very aggressive behaviour and start attacking each other when there is no natural leader ,
she said .
that for us is where the welfare issue comes in . if they were in the wild it would be resolved quickly as they could move away from each other , but they are not and they would have continued to attack each other .
she said putting the animals down was considered to be more humane than leaving them to kill each other .
david windmill , the society ' s chief executive , said :
animal management is a complex , difficult , but rewarding work . with any kind of management , at times difficult decisions need to be taken and this was one of those times .
the welfare of the animal is always paramount in our minds , and no decision is made until a full investigation has been carried out , taking into account all aspects of the species and the situation .
he added :
in the wild , animals are competing in the deadly game of survival of the fittest .
zoos have saved a number of these species from imminent extinction ; the challenge will be to manage them in captivity to the best of our ability in the future , until perhaps one day the wild is safe enough for their return .
the pack , which was destroyed in january , has been replaced by scandinavian wolves and the kincraig park is now part of a european conservation breeding programme for vulnerable sub - species .
ross minett , the director of advocates for animals , said the cull was
scandalous
.
he added :
i don ' t think the general public is aware this kind of thing goes on in the name of conservation .
this is the darker side of zoos ' work , which i ' m sure they don ' t want the public to find out about , and it typifies zoos ' treatment of animals without paying them individual respect . they are seen to some degree as disposable commodities .
wolves kept in the kind of environment they are in in the wildlife park are unlikely to show the full repertoire of natural behaviour anyway , in a comparatively barren , deprived environment .
we think this is pretty scandalous and believe the royal zoological society has to answer how it can justify doing this .

the truth began to unfold after interviewing old - timers : ed moody , norman vaughan , both involved with the admiral byrd s antarctic expeditions in the 1920s and 1930s ; retired canadian mountie during 1950s and 1960s , sandy saunderson ; author lorna coppinger of the world of sled dogs , copyright 1977 ; alaskan trappers , mailrunners , and guides to name a few joe dehlia , john schultz , bob schlentner ; canadian dog driver , larry
cowboy
smith ; and many others from trips up the demster highway to the northern reaches of canada and then east to the great slave lakes region . bill carpenter of yellowknife , who received a grant in the 1970s to bring back the canadian eskimo dog , also known as the greenland husky , was gracious enough to share his research documentation on the sled dog with me . these valuable documents dated from the present back to the 1530s .
the demise of these magnificent huskies began in the 1960s as a result of several factors : the introduction of the snowmachine ; the discovery of oil and consequential formation of native corporations whose dividends allowed the people to afford snowmachines ; the canadian government efforts to stop native sovereignty by the mass killing of dog teams in the 1950 - 1960s under the guise of eradicating rabies ; and profitable sled dog racing that resulted in the development of a breed of small , high strung , running machines .
what has allowed me to find breeding stock is the 1960s movement that sent vietnam vets , draft dodgers , and hippies to the interior of alaska to try a subsistence life style . a few hardy souls remain in bush communities that still have these huskies and a few crusty old trappers . the few i found in canada were so intermingled with the racing lines , that little of the old blood line remains . if anyone knows differently , please contact me .
i remain a coordinator in my efforts to bring these dogs back . i personally have two litters a year . searching continually for new quality males to breed to my females as i expand my breeding pool for the future . i m going into this with the firm understanding that its a 20 year project and there are no shortcuts that im willing to take . i follow each of the pups through their lifetime to insure that my breeding program is on track . i depend on
my people
to help me with this project by their willingness to follow my guidelines for breeding , having pups and suitable placement . this is not a one person job short of having hundreds of huskies , which i am unwilling to do . this is truly a labor of love on my part to keep these huskies from extinction . the pups currently sell for $ 250 including worming , first shots and vet exam . hopefully , this project will continue to snowball so that there will be more available in the future with less restrictions . if youre interested , you must keep in contact with me and be patient .
