emancipation ( foaled 1979 ) was a champion australian thoroughbred racehorse .

by bletchingly , emancipation was a grey , like her dam , ammo girl , and her damsire , gunsynd .

she was bred by mark hough , in new south wales , after her dam was purchased from trainer tommy smith for just $ 1,700 due to her unsound conformation and her breeding ( her sire was standing at a fee of only $ 1,500 at the time ) .

her breeder was only interested in her as a broodmare , and approached her trainer , neville begg , to recommend someone who would lease her for racing purposes .

emancipation ( horse )

emancipation , the no . 2 horse , was a full brother to 2013 kentucky derby winner orb and no . 4 fayeq was a half - brother to 2009 horse of the year rachel alexandra . the 3 - year - old colts are half brothers themselves , having been sired by malibu moon .
emancipation was a top sprint specialist that stood out at major metro tracks during the 1980s .
a pre - emancipation horse race meet has been set for july 30 at the kennard’s memorial turf club , bush lot farm , corentyne with in excess of million up for grabs across seven races . the rules of the guyana horse racing authority ( ghra ) will be used to govern the action and entries close on july 23 .
at the end of that season , emancipation was fittingly accorded australian champion racehorse of the year honours .

peter , who has been in the business for more than 50 years , and mark have vast experience and ducatoon park is on 141ha ( 350 acres ) of great horse country on the yorke peninsula about a hour and a half from adelaide . “it’s great cropping country and horse country because of the limestone base here and this is a well laid out boutique stud where everything has been planned with horse safety in mind . ”
saratoga springs , n . y . > > two horses garnered special attention from horse racing fans in race 4 at saratoga race course wednesday .
it was entirely appropriate , therefore , that the end of the season saw emancipation declared the australian champion racehorse of the year .
sired by australian native bletchingly , who is known chiefly for his contributions in that role even though he won four times out of five starts , emancipation’s dam , ammo girl , claims gunsynd for her sire . small wonder then that emancipation was destined for greatness .

on friday at belmont park , orb ' s 3 - year - old full brother won his career debut . emancipation ( malibu moon x lady liberty ) rallied from far back to win by a length . emancipation races as a homebred for stuart janney and phipps stable , the partnership that campaigned orb .
returning that autumn for her final nine starts , emancipation extracted revenge on strawberry road , besting that thoroughbred in the ajc apollo stakes and chipping norton stakes .
emancipation ' s overall record of 19 wins and one second out of 28 starts in just two seasons of racing set the mark high for sprinters of either gender .
emancipation returned for the autumn carnival for her last nine races , where she immediately gained some measure of revenge on strawberry road by beating that thoroughbred in the ajc apollo stakes and the chipping norton stakes . next , the sydney turf club rosemount classic at rosehill fell to emancipation , after which she added her second george ryder stakes victory .
“peter remembered the horse well and said when he came to the stables he was a physical wreck because the injury had caused some muscle wastage on one side of his body . peter said he persevered with the horse , describing him as ‘very fast’ , and said he only had him fit twice , when he was second on debut and then when he won at his next start . by then he had problems on his good side , from compensating for the weakness from his injury , and although peter was confident he could win a good race with him , the decision was made to sell the horse as a stallion prospect .
emancipation was ridden throughout her career by ron quinton , with the exception of her win in the 1982 vrc edward manifold stakes at flemington racecourse , where kevin moses stood in .

“as he was recovering steve would sometimes take the horse out for a walk and a pick , and he told us he liked him a lot . the injury meant he had a funny walk and moved his back end a bit like marilyn monroe . when he was broken in the breaker told steve , who has just moved to look after the stallions at peter liston’s three bridges in victoria , the colt was ‘phenomenal , for a three legged horse’ .
emancipation hit the board in both of his career starts but may have been a little too active in the paddock wednesday . the 3 - year - old broke last in the field of six but kept the field within striking distance . as the field turned for home emancipation moved in position to rally , but didn’t have enough left to challenge the leaders . the shug mcgaughey trainee placed fourth .
“time passed and the horse went into work with peter snowden and was named barbados . he ran a second and then won at his next two starts but was retired after just five runs and we eventually acquired him for ducatoon park just before the breeding season last year . anyway , i had never met peter , and my wife valmae and i were at a horse sale earlier this year with a nice northern meteor colt we had bred and i saw peter and decided to ask him about barbados .
her next win came in the group 1 george main stakes . she was then beaten twice by a horse named strawberry road in the caulfield stakes and the w . s . cox plate , which seemed to indicate that 2000 m was out of her comfort zone .
as an older mare she has trained on to win back - to - back editions of the group ii emancipation stakes ( 1500m ) at rosehill as well as the group iii tibbie stakes ( 1400m ) at newcastle .
maragh was unseated in the gate while on saturdaynightfling before the start of race 10 . the horse was scratched and maragh walked to an ambulance under his own power . he posted on his twitter account at 8 p . m . that he was taken to albany medical .
“we were lucky to get him really and once again fate stepped in . i contacted bret howard at randwick bloodstock looking for a stallion and he told me barbados had been sold to asia but was back on the market as the deal had fallen through . of course i knew all about the horse , so my son mark , who is with me on the stud , and i flew to nsw and did the deal with darley’s australian general manager henry plumptre , who also told us the horse “had far more ability than his race record suggests” .
unraced as a two - year - old , emancipation was ridden throughout her career by ron clinton except for one occasion , that being her victory in the 1982 vrc edward manifold stakes , where kevin moses steered her to the win at flemington .
emancipation was foaled in 1979 . australian natives bletchingly and ammo girl performed sire and dam duties , respectively . ammo girl was sired by gunsynd himself and a great , great , great grandsire came by way of the united states in man o ' war .
her new south wales breeder had no interest in emancipation as a racer and therefore instructed her trainer to lease her for racing purposes , a decision that would prove regrettable , except from the perspective of the lessee , mr . r . lapointe of muskoka farms .
“it was a race i really wanted to try him in , ” rice said . “the races at a mile , a mile and a sixteenth are bigger fields that can be very competitive . sometimes at a mile and three - eights there aren’t that many horses that can get that distance . i thought , if the horse isn’t doing well i’d scratch him . ”

wonderful grey champions emancipation and gunsynd captured the hearts of racegoers and belied their modest beginnings to become part of thoroughbred folklore . barbados , a son of modern champions redoute’s choice and virage de fortune , carries the same grey colour and his pedigree features their names . although his race career was compromised by injury , he looks a valuable addition to the breeding industry in south australia .

“steve , our youngest son , was working at widden when anabaa shuttled there and of course he is the sire of virage de fortune , and then steve moved to arrowfield when redoute’s choice was commanding a fee of $ 330 , 000 . steve was one of the few people allowed to handle the stallion and when we’d call him once a week for a family chat , he would tell us all about the superb mares the horse was covering , including virage de fortune in her first season at stud .

peter and mark have certainly chosen a horse with an exceptional pedigree as the foundation sire at ducatoon park . his sire redoute’s choice ( danehill ( usa ) - shantha’s choice by canny lad ) has just won his third general sires’ premiership , with his son snitzel as runner - up , with progeny earnings topping $ 10m in 2013 - 14 led by champion sprinter lankan rupee ( dam by stravinsky ) . in fact since retiring to stud in australia in 2000 redoute’s choice , who won five races ( four gr . 1 including the blue diamond and caulfield guineas ) and $ 1 . 5m , has had 732 winners ( 77 . 5 % ) from 955 starters for earnings topping $ 105m .
bred by expat stanley wootton , the man who exported star kingdom ( ire ) to australia and retained a share in the horse for his stud career , bletchingly ( by biscay , by star kingdom ) won four of his five starts and was runner - up in the other . he won the mvrc windarra handicap ( 1200m ) at his only run at three and then the vrc moomba handicap ( 1000m ) in course record time and ajc the galaxy - gr . 2 ( 1100m ) at four . he went on to sire many great horses including champion kingston town , and his name also appears in the pedigree of barbados as his golden slipper - winning son canny lad is the damsire of redoute’s choice .
redoute’s choice and his sons have worked with mares from a variety of sire lines and inbreeding to the best in show family and to nijinsky has worked well , while mares featuring nijinsky’s close relation the minstrel and similarly bred storm bird should suit barbados as should mares from the sir tristram tribe , particularly lonhro as his dam is by a son of mr . prospector , a line that has also worked well with redoute’s choice ( and his sire danehill ) . doubling lunchtime , via pins for example , who has also worked with emancipation’s family , also seems a positive way to go .
there is another line of star kingdom in this pedigree as emancipation’s unraced dam ammo girl is by the people’s champion gunsynd ( sunset hue - woodie wonder by newtown wonder ( gb ) ) , whose sire is a son of star kingdom . gunsynd ( 1967 - 1983 ) , known affectionately as the goondiwindi grey , began his career in queensland before transferring to the sydney stables of master trainer tommy smith . he won 29 of 54 starts including the epsom handicap , toorak , queen elizabeth , doncaster , caulfield stakes , cox plate , rawson stakes ( twice ) and he was beaten 1 . 25 lengths and a neck in the melbourne cup , conceding the first two 12 . 5kg and 8kg .
like so many great mares emancipation ( bletchingly - ammo girl by gunsynd ) , who is inbred 3mx4m to star kingdom ( ire ) , did not leave any champions , but her family is breeding on and there are plenty of stakes horses in her clan these days including dual gr . 1 winner ( caulfield cup , the metropolitan ) , railings ( zabeel ) , gr . 2 winner magneto ( scenic ) , gr . 2 winner pimms time ( pins ) , the south african gr . 1 winner rumya ( red ransom ( usa ) ) , listed winner and gr . 1 runner - up raid ( pins ) , uae oaks - lr winner raihana ( elusive quality ( usa ) ) and hk derby - hkgr . 1 runner - up jackpot’s delight ( danasinga ) .

michael sissian bred and raced her dam virage ( kenmare - emancipation by bletchingly ) and the filly , who was born in 1993 , proved frustrating for sissian and trainer lee freedman , running three seconds ( twice in the city ) in six starts at two and three , throwing away her chances by becoming claustrophobic in the starting stalls ( in the days before barrier blankets ) . there was no doubt virage had plenty of ability but in the end she was retired because of her antics . however she became a really good broodmare and her seven winners also include $ 730 , 000 earner and multiple gr . 3 winner avenue ( anabaa ) and stakes placed glasnost ( red ransom ) dam of gr . 3 winner slapstick ( anabaa ) and stakes placed censor ( elusive quality ) and lorna mae ( redoute’s choice ) .
“my brother and i ran kambula stud for many years and successfully stood stallions like gay gambler and imprimatur , but when i left to go out on my own a few years ago i swore i wouldn’t stand another stallion . however , the industry in south australia has changed a lot in the past few years and i felt breeders needed access to a well - bred stallion in our part of the world and barbados certainly filled the bill when he was offered to us . i was prepared to look past his race record because i knew he had much more ability than that and he had been compromised by a really serious injury . that he was able to race and win told me he had plenty of courage and he really does have a superb pedigree , being inbred to speed influences danzig and bletchingly and tracing to one of the great mares in emancipation .
it was a case of the meeting of two greys when the prix jacques le marois - gr . 1 winner kenmare covered the champion mare emancipation in the spring of 1990 . the filly who resulted from that mating was sent to south africa and was never named . however the mating was repeated two years later ( the mare visited danehill in between times ) and virage was the result in 1993 . she is among seven named foals from her dam and four of the other six were also fillies , animation ( vice regal ) , principation ( prince echo ( ire ) ) , felicitation ( danehill ) and la suffragette ( palace music ( usa ) . while the colts were the gr . 2 winner and ajc derby - gr . 1 runner - up and sire royal pardon ( vice regal ) and the city placed liberty prevails ( bakharoff ( usa ) .

based in new south wales , her breeder , m . c . hough was interested in her only as a broodmare and instructed her trainer , neville begg , to lease her for any racing purposes , an event which proved fortunate for muskoka farms principle r . lapointe .

in an abbreviated racing career where this gray filly competed only as a three and four year old , she managed to produce 19 victories , and one second out of just 28 starts .
six of her victories came in group 1 races , including consecutive victories in 1983 and 1984 in the 1500 m weight for age george ryder stakes at rosehill racecourse in sydney .
the spring racing carnival of that season produced two listed wins , those coming in the stc tea rose stakes at rosehill race course and the vrc carbine club stakes at flemington in melbourne . she raced four other times that spring with no wins to show for it .
she next appeared early in the spring racing carnival where she won the ajc light fingers stakes at randwick . her next win represented quite a leap in quality when she took the group 2 canterbury stakes .
her first group 1 victory followed at rosehill where she took the george ryder stakes , defeating manikato in the process , and then went on to take the doncaster handicap at randwick , leaving her with 10 wins from 13 starts as a three - year - old .
her four - year - old campaign began with a group 3 victory in the stc premier stakes at rosehill racecourse in sydney . next came warwick farm and the group 1 ajc chelmsford stakes . she backed that two weeks later with a win in the group 2 hill stakes at the greatest distance at which she was ever tried that produced a victory . she seemed by this time to be demonstrating advanced proficiency on dead tracks .
immediately afterwards , she took the all aged stakes at randwick race course , which resulted in her notching her third group 1 win in three tries .
her final tally of 19 wins out of 28 jumps in a brief racing career established a record for sprinters of either gender that has only recently been surpassed .
best performer : mr . gnocchi ( 5 wins / highest rating : 99 ) ( retired )
progeny ' s racing performance : 1 of her 3 previous foals has scored , that being the statue of liberty filly new york rain , who prevails twice to date , ranging from 1008m to 1200m ; silver spun is her 4th foal .
conditioned previously by tommy wong , and then gary moore , silver spun , with a 1 - 3 - 3 record through altogether ten ( 10 ) starts in australia , broke his maiden in a right - handed , 1100 - meter contest at wyong , new south wales on december 17 , 2016 , for a purse of aus $ 22 , 000 . coming out of that same race , second - placed wutai mountain scores twice afterwards .
represents such depth has been altogether labeled as yet another ' golden generation ' in the u . s . since 1957 , especially the prowess to extend their battlefield from the track to the shed . in the case of hard spun , with seven ( 7 ) seasons of stud service to date , he has more than avenged on his old track foes in the progenitive arena : from wood memorial ( us - gi ) hero wicked strong , to questing and zo impressive , the hard and fast one - two punch through his first crop capturing two - thirds of the new york triple tiara at grade i level , sons and daughters by hard spun have posted yet another banner season in 2015 , led by diana stakes ( us - git ) winner hard not to like , gold cup at santa anita ( us - gi ) hero hard aces , and smooth roller , a winner that took the santa anita crowd by surprise the awesome again stakes ( us - gi ) .
in course preferences , while many a hard spun has been equally talented on dirt and turf , silver spun , a proven winner on soft in australia , should also be lively with a deeper cut in the turf .
in general outlook , bred regally from underneath , silver spun , an instant winner since switching to gary mooreˇ¦s barn in australia , has definitely put his act together , while being as impressive , if not more , through the barrier trials in hong kong . in all , he should be a nice cut - back prospect to get the job done in class 3 .

shug has an awesome homebred in todays 7th race at gulf . peter island is by tapit out of a grade 1 stakes placed mare by pleasant colony . resort is by pleasant colony which u rarely see anymore ( almost extinct ) also resort is out of an alydar mare does it get any better for old school breeding . pleasant colonys broodmare offspring known for huge necks . i cant wait to see this ones neck in the paddock and post parade today . also peter island worked 1 : 02 and change out of the gate at payson ( quicksand )
tom . as i said on another thread , he ran very well today . made a huge move and was closing on the winner . he is the real deal . i said he would be better than poe and i definitely think he is .
if he continues to develop , he will be special . i would like to see shug pull back the reins a little on him . between his 2 turf races and his 1 dirt race at gp , i hink his legs have endured as much as they can over these extremely hard surfaces . i know keeneland is dear to shugs heart . i would like to see shug and the phipps step out of the box and take a shot at the bluegrass . do not even enteryain the thought of running in the derby should they win . the race falls in perfectly with the scheduling the next turf race for 3yos is the tansylvania on 4 / 4 / 14 and at a mile . i hate cutting them back in distance and bringing them back so soon . the bluegrass almost gives them a free ride and it spaces hom perfectly . after that , shug can map out a plan that will get him to the virginia derby . but i think this guy needs about 6 weeks to recharge for the summer grind .
anyone heard how honor code did training at payson park yesterday . inquiring minds need to know
jogged yesterday . . . at least he ' s back on the track .
from drf : shug says he wants to keep close eye on honor code who has been training at payson while also confirming top billing now definite for foy .

jamaican jockey rajiv maragh joined his native island nation in rooting for the jamaican soccer team in the gold cup final against the united states wednesday night in santa clara , calif .
jamaica pulled a huge 1 - 0 upset of mexico in the semifinal round sunday to advance to the final . the contest was not completed by press time .

the jamaicans are an underdog in the contest because the game is on american soil and because the population of the u . s . — 323 million — dwarfs the population of jamaica — 2 . 9 million .
“it would mean a lot for such a small island with such a small population to have that kind of success , ” maragh said . “either way they have nothing to be ashamed of to get to where they are . ”
the 32 - year - old jockey says he gets the same sort of support from fellow jamaicans in his career .
“jamaicans are passionate about a lot of stuff and sport is one of the things we’re most passionate about , ” maragh said . “i feel like wherever i’m at jamaicans all over the world are behind me and happy for me . ”
“at albany medical my calf is bruised just as a precaution taking a mri to make sure all is well . seems fine to me , ” maragh said in the post .
