SARATOGA SPRINGS, NY - Fasig-Tipton concluded an impressive
week of work in Saratoga with the second and final session of
the company's New York-Bred Yearling Sale Monday at the
Humphrey S. Finney Pavilion. The auction finished with a salerecord median and the third-highest average in its history.
Trainer Chad Brown, bidding on behalf of Seth Klarman's
Klaravich Stable made the sale's highest bid when going to$370,000 just five hips from the end of Monday's session.
AIt was another successful edition of the New York-bred sale,@said Fasig-Tipton President Boyd Browning, Jr. AThere was acontinuation of things that we saw all week. There was very
active bidding throughout and there was real demand for quality
horses.@During the two-day New York-bred sale, 182 yearlings grossed$19,095,500 for an average of $104,920 and a median of$86,500. With a significantly smaller catalogue this year, theauction fell off its record gross of a year ago, but figures for bothaverage and median were up from 2023 when 220 horses soldfor $20,929,000. The 2023 average was $95,132 and the median
was $75,000. Both buyers and sellers seemed happy with thetwo-day sale. Cont. p3

MC: In the beginning, I used to wonder when the Yankees won
the World Series a few years in a row, I said, >what motivates
you?= And I would say after winning 16, what motivates me is
not losing.
TDN: So, it=s a quest now.
MC: Of course. About two years ago, I came pretty close tolosing it for the first time in a long time. And I said, >well, that=s
not going to happen again.=Cont. p9

13 | WEEK IN REVIEW: WHERE HAVE ALL THE STAKES HORSES GONE
Summer racing at places like Saratoga and Del Mar brings together the best
horses, but lately in stakes company, it's been a story of quality over quantity. Bill
Finley has some thoughts on the issue in the 'Week In Review.'

Fasig-Tipton NY-Bred Sale cont.
AI think the prices have been in the range that we expect,@ said
Eddie Rosen, advisor to Mike Repole who purchased three head
for $820,000, while also selling a pair of homebreds. AThe prices
are fair. They are not crazy high and they are not giving themaway. We sold two and we think we got fair prices. I think it's agood market for buyers and sellers. It's reasonable.@

David Cannizzo enjoyed a pair of pinhooking successes for his
clients, while also doing some shopping.
AThe top dollar is here for the New York-breds,@ Cannizzo said.
AIt's like the big sale, but across the board, the average has beenpretty strong the last two days. It's good buying and selling.@
The successful New York-bred sale came on the heels ofrecord Fasig-Tipton Saratoga Sale which set highwater marks forgross, average and median a week ago.
AIt was a very encouraging week,@ Browning said. AWe started
last Monday at 6:30, we finished this week on Monday about 5
p.m and in that week we sold over $100 million worth of horses.
We've never done that before. So that's a pretty significant
accomplishment and something we are proud of. That's
meaningful and significant to our industry.@ Cont. p4

Klaravich Strikes Late for Quality Road Colt
With just a few horses left to go through the ring, trainer Chad
Brown made the highest bid of the two-day Fasig-Tipton New
York-Bred Yearling Sale Monday, going to $370,000 to secure acolt by Quality Road (hip 595) from the Winter Quarter Farmconsignment on behalf of Seth Klarman's Klaravich Stable. Bredby Waterville Lake Stable, the bay is out of graded-placed
Portmagee (Hard Spun) and is a full-brother to stakes-placed
Derrynane.

Hip 595 | Fasig-Tipton

AMike and Mary Ryan did all the work for us here,@ Brown said.
AI am busy racing across the street, so without them I would nothave been able to get this covered. Mike thought he was thebest horse in the sale, so we waited around all day. We werewilling to stretch for him.@
Klaravich Stable purchased three yearlings at the New Yorkbred sale. In addition to the sale topper, the operation alsoacquired a pair of fillies by Yaupon: hip 503 for $200,000 fromThe New Hill Farm consignment and hip 583 for $190,000 from
Four Star Sales.
AWe got some good buys,@ Brown said. AIt was a good sale.
There were some expensive horses, but I bought some horses
quite under what I thought they would bring. There were somegood value spots.@
Of buying in the Empire state, Brown said, ASeth Klarman has
been a leading owner in New York for many years. He loves
supporting New York racing and breeding and the wholeindustry in New York.@
Brown continued, AAt this sale, we always try to identify New
York-bred horses that look like we would buy them if they were
not New York-bred horses.@Cont. p5

TUESDAY • AUGUST 13, 2024

Burke and daughter Kathleen Schweizer purchased Georgie's
Angel, in foal to Arrogate, for $75,000 at the 2020 Keeneland
November sale. They sold that in utero colt for $700,000 at the2022 New York-Bred Yearling Sale just days after Cave Rock's
impressive debut victory at Del Mar. That colt went on to winthat year's GI Del Mar Futurity and GI American Pharoah Stakes
and his year-younger full-brother sold to Katsumi Yoshida for$1.05 million at the 2023 OBS March sale. Assurbanipal is a noseaway from being unbeaten in four starts, all going the one-turnmile at Tokyo.
Georgie's Angel's filly by Improbable, now named Lakeside,
sold to Solis/Litt for $135,000 at last year's New York-Bred
Yearling Sale and recorded her fourth workout Aug. 10, going ahalf-mile in :48 flat (6/73) at Belmont Park. The 15-year-old
mare produced a filly by Flightline this year and was bred backto Good Magic.

Chad Brown | Fasig-Tipton

He continued, ASo they have the potential to be opencompany horses and that they are New York-breds is sort of anadded bonus to fall back on, if you will, or to have some perhaps
easier races to develop the horses before they get to open
company. The horses we bought at this sale were by either
proven stallions or exciting first-crop stallions that could take us
to open-company races, but still have that option as New Yorkbreds.@
Portmagee was purchased by Don Robinson on behalf ofWaterville Lake for $75,000 at the 2014 Keeneland September
Yearling Sale. Her 2-year-old colt by More Than Ready, now
named Rossbeigh RNA'd for $200,000 at this sale last year andthe mare produced a filly by Medaglia d'Oro this year.
Derrynane, winner of the 2021 Woodbine Cares Stakes in her
breeders' colors, was bred to Not This Time this year.

Connect Filly to Repole
Jacob West and Eddie Rosen, bidding on behalf of Mike
Repole, went to $300,000 to acquire a filly by Connect (hip 486)
during Monday's second session of the New York-Bred YearlingSale in Saratoga. Out of Georgie's Angel (Bellamy Road), the dark
bay yearling is a half-sister to multiple Grade I winner and 'TDN
Rising Star' Cave Rock (Arrogate). She was consigned by Eaton
Sales on behalf of her breeder, Dan Burke's Longford Farm.
AThe whole team liked her,@ Rosen said. AObviously, being ahalf to Cave Rock and Assurbanipal, who has been running wellin Japan, makes her appealing. She was a very nice individual
and the pedigree is extremely attractive. She has residual value
as a broodmare. It was kind of a no-brainer for all of us. She kindof stands out in this catalogue.@Hip 486 | Fasig-Tipton

Cannizzo Pinhooks More Than LuckyDavid Cannizzo signed for a pair of pinhook weanling prospects
at last year's Fasig-Tipton New York Mixed Sale in the name ofGood Luck Farm. The duo proved just that in their return trip
through the sales ring during the two-day New York-Bred
Yearling Sale when a colt by freshman sire Vekoma (hip 386)
brought $300,000 from trainer Christophe Clement Sunday andtrainer Mike Maker purchased a colt from the first crop of
Yaupon (hip 485) for $275,000 Monday. The first had beenpurchased as a weanling for $100,000 and the second waspurchased for $120,000.
AWhen we go to the weanling sales, we usually look for firstcrop sires or young sires, that people are looking for that canreally go and hit the mark,@ Cannizzo said. AIt's one of the moves
we make and it worked out this year. It doesn't always, but it
was a good year for a few of my clients. Hopefully, we continue
to do well with our strategy.@ Cont. p6

TDN HEADLINE NEWS • PAGE 6 OF 14 • THETDN.COM

Hip 485, who like hip 386 was consigned this week by Taylor
Made Sales Agency, is out of multiple stakes winner Frostie
Anne (Frost Giant).
AWe were very high on Yaupon,@ Cannizzo said of the colt's
appeal last fall. AWe thought he would be a good freshman sire,go the right way. He was a gorgeous individual last year at thatsale and we knew we had to get him. He developed into an
absolute beast. I actually liked him more than the Vekoma from
[Sunday] night, so it hurt me to see him sell for a little less. But it
was a good deal for a good client of mine and I am very happy
with how it went. He is a very special colt and I wish Mike Maker
the best of luck with him.@
Maker signed for the colt alongside Peter Proscia of Paradise
Farms.
AIt looks like Yaupon is stamping his foals,@ Maker said. AWe
are glad to bring one home.@

TUESDAY • AUGUST 13, 2024

Of the back-to-back offerings by the stallion, Villiante said,
AWe liked the hip right before that Jacob bought and liked theone we bought every bit as much. We kind of figured we would
follow them up to the ring and see what happened. Jeremiah[Englehart] fell in love with him as soon as we saw him and he's
going to train the horse.@
Rounding out the trio of yearlings by the stallion, Bronco
Bloodstock purchased a colt (hip 511) from the McMahon ofSaratoga Thoroughbreds consignment for $95,000 Monday.
Galilean had 11 first-crop weanlings sell at auction last year foran average of $13,818. The group was led by an $80,000
daughter out of Dawn Lightning (The Factor). Bred by Franklin
Ave. Equine, Michael DiDonato and Charles Esau, the filly waspurchased by Reeves Thoroughbred Racing at the Fasig-Tipton
New York Mixed Sale last fall.

Tacitus Pays
A pair of yearlings from the first crop of multiple gradedwinner Tacitus (Tapit) topped the $200,000 mark Monday inSaratoga, rewarding the horsemen who invested in theyoungsters last fall. Colin Brennan consigned hip 459, a son of
the stallion out of Dreamed to Dream (Deputy Wild Cat) who
sold for $230,000 to Adelphi Racing Club, Steven Rocco and RT
Racing. The colt had been purchased by ELC Investments for$125,000 at last year's Keeneland November sale.
Jonathan Thorne's Thorndale enjoyed an even bigger scorewith the stallion a few hips later when selling hip 516 for$220,000 to West Point, Sharp TB and Double BL Ranch. Out of
Judiciary (Union Rags), the colt was a $30,000 purchase by
Thorne at last year's Fasig-Tipton New York Mixed Sale.

Galilean Yearlings Proving Popular
Galilean (Uncle Mo), a six-time stakes winner who topped the2018 Barretts 2-Year-Olds in Training Sale when selling for$600,000 in 2018, was well-represented by his first yearlings in
the sales ring at the New York-bred sale in Saratoga. The
stallion, who stands for $3,500 at Hidden Lake Farm, had three
yearlings through the ring during the two-session auction sell foran average of $158,333.
Jacob West, bidding on behalf of Mike Repole, purchased acolt by the sire (hip 350) for $220,000 Sunday, while Legion
Bloodstock, bidding on behalf of JCE Racing, purchased a son of
the sire--and the very next hip in the ring (hip 351)--for$160,000.
AWe have liked a lot of the Galileans here so far,@ said Legion
Bloodstock's Kristian Villante. AThey look very similar to Uncle
Mo--very clean lines, big strong horses. They look like they will
be precocious. They are easy to like.@

Fasig-Tipton New York-Breds cont.
AI just liked his physical and his walk,@ Thorne said of theyoungster's appeal last fall. AIt was the first time I had seen a
Tacitus--it was his first crop. I just thought he was a great
individual and hoped he would continue growing the way hewas. He was perfectly balanced. He did everything right. And
he's gotten bigger. He grew just perfect.@
Tacitus, who stands at Taylor Made for a fee of $10,000, hadeight yearlings sell at the New York-bred sale for an average of$97,375. At the Fasig-Tipton July Sale last month, he had six sell
for an average of $112,833.
AI think he's gotten kind of a cult following,@ Thorne said of thestallion. APeople are realizing that he is stamping them pretty
well. And they all look like fast, speedy horses that can probably
go long since he's a Tapit and he went long. And they are justwell-balanced, athletic horses. He's a promising stallion if he canthrow horses who look like that consistently. He should have a
big future. It's a beautiful family.@
A son of champion Close Hatches (First Defence), Tacitus won
the 2019 GI Wood Memorial and Tampa Bay Derby and the2020 GII Suburban Stakes. He was second in the GI Belmont
Stakes and GI Travers Stakes. His full-brother Batten Down won
this year's GIII Ohio Derby and was third in the GII Jim Dandy
Stakes, while his 'TDN Rising Star' full-sister Scylla won thisyear's GIII Shawnee Stakes and GII Fasig-Tipton Fleur de Lis
Stakes and was most recently second in the GI Clement L. Hirsch
Stakes.

$ Through two days, 182 yearlings sold for $19,095,500 at the
New York-Bred sale. The average was up 10.3% to $104,920 andthe median rose 15.3% to $86,500.
$ With five hips to go, trainer Chad Brown made the auction's
highest bid when going to $370,000 to acquire a colt by Quality
Road from the Winter Quarter Farm consignment on behalf ofKlaravich Stables.

The Saratoga Conversation cont. from p1
TDN: This is something you want to dominate.
MC: Well, I don=t want to lose it. And I have to dominate it
because it=s human nature. The voters want to give it tosomebody else.
TDN: It=s like the Yankees. People root against them because
they win.
MC: I have a lot of people who root against me in Canada. Of
course.
TDN: You are the evil empire of Canada.
MC: I would not want to be described that way Y obviously a lotof people don=t like me, but they would like to be me.

Mark Casse | Sarah Andrew

TDN: There is respect there.

TDN: In addition to being in the Canadian Horse Racing Hall ofFame, you are also in the National Museum of Racing and Hallof Fame here. I think there are three others --Roger Attfield,
Lucien Lauren and Horatio Luro.

MC: I would hope so.

MC: Very good group.

TDN HEADLINE NEWS • PAGE 10 OF 14 • THETDN.COM

TDN: I remember you telling the story where you were at the(U.S.) Hall of Fame with your dad and you said you were going
to be in there one day.
MC: I was 12. And he said, >I know you will.= Horses, horse
racing have been my entire life. If that is your life, what is it you
want to be? You want to be in the Hall of Fame because the Hallof Fame says that you weren=t good one year, you weren=t good
two years, you were good over a long period of time. To get into
the Hall of Fame, not only do you have to be good for 25 years,
but you have to stay out of trouble, too. Not everyone can dothat.
TDN: Your career is still going, but, so far, what has been yourproudest achievement?

TUESDAY • AUGUST 13, 2024

(owners Tracey and Carol) Farmers and to win the Belmont is agreat feat, but you have to remember they are our kids. One kid(Sir Winston) achieved greatness that day and the other kid(War of Will, who was ninth) was a failure. Just think about it.
You are happy for the one that achieved greatness, but you feelbad for the one that didn=t. I run a lot of horses in a lot of races-big races--and a lot of times I run multiple ones. We won seven
races a couple weeks ago (at multiple tracks) and four stakes
and my focus was on the ones that lost. It=s a bad thing, but it=swhat I do.
TDN: So, you smiled at the Belmont, right?
MC: I smiled. Because my wife told me to. I listen to her.
TDN: Favorite race track.

MC: The Hall of Fame would be No. 1. One horse, one race? It
would be Tepin winning the Queen Anne at Royal Ascot (in2016) just because it=s so difficult to do. We have won Triple
Crown races (2019 Preakness with War of Will, 2019 Belmontwith Sir Winston), we=ve won six Breeders= Cup races Y but to goover and win and beat them at their own game ... We havesome horses that go to Europe, but they haven=t had as muchluck lately at Royal Ascot. We have beat them sprinting, but I
don=t know if sprinting is their forte. We beat them at their own
game, which shows you how great Tepin was.

MC: I am going to say, right here. Saratoga. And it=s been my
Achilles heel on many occasions. This is where I have a lot ofmemories with my dad (the late Norman Casse Sr., who started
the Ocala Breeders= Sales Co. in 1974 and served as theorganization=s chairman for 27 years). Churchill would be a close
second.
TDN: Where is Woodbine?
MC: Woodbine would probably be third. Now, if you talk abouta training facility, there is no place better to train than
Woodbine for so many reasons. But as far as where do I want towin? Right here.
TDN: Everyone=s watching.
MC: You got it.
TDN: I know that you love to golf, and you love to fish. If you
can only pick one, which one are you doing?

Tepin | Sarah Andrew

TDN: You look at the roster you have had. Tepin, World
Approval, Classic Empire, War of Will, Fev Rover Y just to
name a few. Is there a favorite?
MC: Nah. There=s not a favorite. They are all your kids. When wewon the Belmont with Sir Winston, my wife (Tina) said, >smile!

MC: I like golf. When I am in Ocala, I wake up at 4 (a.m.) and I
play 18 holes on my golf simulator from 4-5. And then I makebreakfast for my wife and son (Colby) and I go to work. I usuallyplay a par 3. I shot 10-under one day. I had a hole-in-one at 4:38

TDN: Did you smile then?
MC: Oh, yeah. I enjoy that. And we watch horses train. I getvideos all morning long. We have this thing I call the VLL--theVideo Lameness Locator. Anytime any of my assistants
anywhere have an issue, they run this App. You jog the horse,
and it takes about a minute. It gets uploaded and it goes to acomputer in Stockholm, Sweden. The computer analyzes 100
key points in the horse=s stride and, within three minutes, I will
have the results.
TDN: Modern technology.

TUESDAY • AUGUST 13, 2024

TDN: I ask two questions to everyone. One is, if there was amovie made about your life and you can pick the actor to playyou, who are you picking?
MC: I don=t know. Maybe, simply because of his size, Tom
Cruise. We are pretty much the same age. He=s not very tall (heis 5' 7@). I am 5' 5@. He has dark hair, and I don=t have any hairanymore. I am going with Tom Cruise.
TDN: The other one question is if you could have dinner withthree people, living or dead, who would they be?
MC: My dad. JFK. And I loved the Queen (Elizabeth II). She wasamazing. Loved horses. I got to meet her.

MC: My Boy Prince has already been sent to me and he=s thefavorite for the King=s Plate. He breezed (Thursday morning)
and, at 6 a.m., it showed me how he was.
TDN: You have a pond at your farm in Ocala.
MC: I have two ponds.
TDN: Whenever you catch a fish, you always throw it back,right?
MC: Always. I have an older pond that has been there 20 someyears and I have a newer pond. I told my wife I was going tobuild a little pond and she came out and said, >I thought this was
supposed to be little!= It=s deeper. Our old pond is only about
five feet deep. Our new one is, in some spots, 20 feet deep. If I
catch a big bass in the small pond, I carry him over and put him
in the big pond so he can grow.
TDN: You don=t name your fish, do you?
MC: Nah! You know what? I have a wonderful life. We haveducks that are there every day. We have a set of geese thatcome every year, have their babies. They will bring their babies
back the next year and then they will run them off and they=ll
have more. We have three right now. We have baby ducks. I
enjoy that.
TDN: It truly is an animal farm.
MC: Yeah. It is. I am fortunate. I live in paradise. I can walk towork. I can go and fish in the front yard. And I can hit (golf) shots
150 yards to a green or I can go my golf simulator. I need thesethings because my day is so full that I could not go and do those
things.

TDN: What was that like?
MC: It=s a bit of a funny story. When we had Tepin, after shewon (at Royal Ascot) I did so many interviews. An hour went by.
And I said, >when do I get to meet the Queen?= And they said,>you missed her.= I was like, >you=ve got to be kidding me!= The
next day I did an interview for the ARacing Post.@ They asked
with the success I have had, would I come back. I said, >only if I
get to meet the Queen.= I didn=t know that she read the ARacing
Post.@ It just happened that the next year, we ran a horse. We
were in our box, and we were going to run at about 2:30 (p.m.).
At 1, a representative of the Queen showed up and said theQueen would like to meet you. Wow! Tina, Colby and I went
there. You have to understand, I have to go saddle this horse. I
don=t have a lot of time. We are talking, and she keeps talking
and we=re talking and talking and talking. I am thinking, >I am
going to miss going to saddle this horse.= Her representative
said, >Your majesty, he has to go saddle his horse.= And she goes,

TDN: If you had five stalls open at this barn and you could put
five horses from history in them, who would they be? But
none of them could be yours.

TDN: Favorite horse racing movie.
MC: I have to go with ASeabiscuit.= For sure. Gary (Barber, one of
his owners) produced it.
TDN: That would be the right answer for you. What is yourfavorite holiday?
MC: Christmas. The kids come around. Memories from when I
was young with my mom and my dad. I was born on Valentine=sDay. Poor Tina takes a whipping on Valentine=s Day because it=s
my birthday.
TDN: Favorite go-to meal.
MC: My wife is a very, very good cook. I like steak and potatoes.
I am pretty easy. She is amazing. We eat at home all the time.
TDN: A horse trainer is not your typical job. When is the lasttime you had a vacation?
MC: I made myself. It was the beginning of December, I got all
the kids and grandkids, girlfriends and husbands and wives andTina and I rented a big house. We all met, and it was near St
Petersburg, Fla. And everybody got sick. We=ve talked about it.
Tina and I would like to go to Europe. The problem is the only
time we can go is December because we=ve got the Breeders=Cup. It=s not easy.
TDN: To do this job, you have to be all in.
MC: Yes. I try to take one day up here to catch up and, usually,
it=s on a Tuesday. I would say my day consists of 30 phone calls
and 100 texts. Every day. On the weekends, we run all over sothat is a very busy time for us. Monday and Tuesday, everyone(owner) that did not have a horse run over the weekend iscatching up with me.
TDN: How many horses do you have all over the place?

MC: Good question. I guess Secretariat. Flightline. I think
Flightline might be the best horse I ever saw run. American
Pharoah was a heckuva horse. I would have loved to have
Desert Vixen (Eclipse Award-winning filly at age 3 and 4)
because (owner) Mr. (Harry) Mangurian was a big part of my life
and that was his big filly. And I will go with Dr. Fager.
TDN: Pretty good starting five. Favorite sport other than horse
racing.
MC: It comes and goes, but golf. I watch it. Play it. I like poker,
too.
TDN: Do you play?
MC: I do.
TDN: Do you have a poker face?
MC: Probably.
TDN: You are pretty good at it.
MC: I have won big tournaments. About 30 years ago, Harry
Mangurian told me that this sport is going to take off. This was(Texas) Hold >Em. He would take me to Vegas when I wasworking with him, and I played out there and then I stopped
playing. OBS recently got a card room. During the week,sometimes I=ll go over and play. They call me Computer Man
because I always have my computer doing work. I can=t go forthree hours and not do work. That=s why golf is very hard forme. If I do it, then I am in the middle of the night doing my workand I=m tired.
TDN: Do you watch TV?
MC: Not much. We like the AFormula 1: Drive to Survive.@ My
favorite movie? AThe American President.@

MC: Right now, racing at the track, we have 160, 170.
TDN: You can=t imagine yourself doing anything but this.
TDN: How do you keep track of them?
MC: I have a pretty good system. I have 10 people that havebeen with me 30 years.

MC: No. Because it=s all I have ever done. Always wanted to do
this.

WHERE HAVE ALL THE STAKES HORSES
GONE? The Week in Review, by Bill Finley

Nooni faced just three others in the Sorrento S. | Benoit

We are in the middle of the Saratoga and Del Mar meets, bothof which bring together the best horses the sport has to offer.
That was the case last weekend. The quality is there. The
quantity? Not so much.
There=s an alarming trend in racing and it=s only getting worse.
The 10- or 12-horse field for a stakes race, especially on the dirt,
is a thing of the past, no matter the venue, no matter the size ofthe purse. Even a nine-horse field seems like something out of adifferent era. There are too many stakes races and not enoughhorses to fill them. It=s really that simple.
Never was that more evident than last weekend.
Saratoga and Del Mar are huge meets for 2-year-olds, with the
top barns eager to unveil their next stars as they take their firststeps towards Grade I races and the Breeders= Cup.
Del Mar offered the GIII Sorrento S. for 2-year-old fillies on
Saturday and the GIII Best Pal S. for 2-year-old males on thefollowing day. The Sorrento had four horses. The Best Pal had
four horses.
Nothing wrong with the winners. 'TDN Rising Star' Nooni (WinWin Win), the $1.8-million sales topper at OBS March, won the
Sorrento. Trained by Bob Baffert (who else?) she wasprofessional in victory and won decisively. She paid $3. Baffert
also won the Best Pal with 'Rising Star' Getaway Car (Curlin),
who paid $2.60.
That Baffert seems to train every good 2-year-old in California
certainly doesn=t help, but it=s not Baffert=s job to fill races.
Where was everybody else?
At least things were better at Saratoga where 'TDN Rising Star'
Showcase (Uncle Mo) won an eight-horse race in the GII SanfordS.

TUESDAY • AUGUST 13, 2024

On Sunday at Saratoga, there was $1.1 million up for grabs in
the GI Fourstardave H. and the GI Saratoga Invitational Derby.
Each race drew only six horses.
Colonial Downs rolled out its best card of the meet Sunday,
running the big three grass races that were for so long part ofthe menu at Arlington Park. The GII Secretariat S., with a purseof $500,000 attracted just six horses. The GII Beverly D., also
worth $500,000, had just five starters. The GI Arlington Million
was also a six-horse race.
What happened at Colonial shouldn=t necessarily have beenmuch of a surprise. Kentucky Downs, already an embarrassmentof riches, just announced that an additional $3.7 million has
been added to the stakes schedule. The GIII Nashville Derby has
been bumped to $3.1 million from $2.5 million, making it, for
Kentucky-breds, the second richest race run in the state, behind
only the GI Kentucky Derby. Total purses for the meet will be$37 million. Seven more stakes at the meet will be worth $2
million and 15 more races will be worth $1 million.
With Kentucky Downs set to open Aug. 29, just 18 days after
the Colonial races, what is Colonial supposed to do? They can=t
compete with Kentucky Downs when it comes to purses, andneither can anyone else.
Unfortunately, the amount of stakes races with short fields isgetting worse all the time. There have been 26 graded stakes
races run this year that have had fields of five or fewer. Nine ofthem have been run in California, a circuit that is having aterrible time trying to compete with the ridiculously rich races
run in Kentucky, Arkansas and New York. There have been sevengraded races run this year with fields of four or fewer. That list
includes races as important as the GI Test S., the GII San Felipe S.
and the GI Coaching Club American Oaks.
Our best races from a quality standpoint are becoming ourworst races from the standpoint of what makes for a goodbetting race. People don=t want to bet on four and five-horse
fields, even if they are some of the more prestigious races on
the calendar. That=s not good for business.
Outside of the Kentucky Downs factor, the problem is that,with the foal crops declining each year, there just aren=t enoughgood horses to go around. The Graded Stakes Committee of theThoroughbred Owners and Breeders Association (TOBA) has
responded by downgrading dozens of stakes over the last few
years. But they haven=t gone far enough.
The real solution is to simply get rid of a bunch of theseunderperforming races. Does Saratoga really need three stakes
races for 2-year-olds and three more for 2-year-old fillies? Won
by horses like Kelso, Skip Away, Easy Goer, Forego, Dr. Fager andBuckpasser, the Suburban Handicap, currently a Grade II race,
has drawn fields of seven, five, five, six and six over the last five
years and has been won by some rather forgettable horses.

TUESDAY • AUGUST 13, 2024

Week In Review cont.
At Santa Anita, for the second straight year, they could only
get four horses for the GII Californian Stakes.
Would anybody really miss the Suburban, the California ormaybe the Saratoga Special if they simply went away? The
answer is obvious, and it is no. Racing secretaries, directors of
racing and track presidents need to show some tough love tothese races and use their resources elsewhere. The game would
be better off for it.

Karl Broberg Retires

Karl Broberg | Remington Park photo

Karl Broberg, 53, has trained the winners of 4,902 races anddominated racing at places like Delta Downs since beginning his
training career 15 years ago. He was the leading trainer in the
country in terms of wins six years running, from 2014 to 2019.
But even with all that success, he has decided to move on.
Broberg announced on X last week that he was stepping awayfrom training in order to focus on developing horses at his farm.
Broberg, who likes to think outside the box and loves gamblingon horses as much as he does training them, told the Daily
Racing Form that he also will be working as a bloodstock agent,finding yearlings for clients and himself. He will continue to own
some horses and they will be trained by his current assistantAbel Ramirez.
AThe claiming game at the majority of the tracks that I havehistorically run at is gone,@ he told the DRF. AI figured it would bea great time to take a step back, work to buy yearlings, see if we
can do some pinhooking, or just help get horses ready for otherpeople. In the next few years, you are going to see so many
more fall to the wayside. I just want to make sure I=m ahead ofit.@

CORRECTION: The recap of Sunday's GII Beverly D. Stakes
erroneously identified the victorious Moira (Ghostzapper) as thereigning Canadian Horse of the Year. Fev Rover (Ire) (Gutaifan{Ire}), a close second in defense of her title Sunday, was the2023 Horse of the Year. We regret the mistake.

AUTHENTIC STRIKE (c, 2, Authentic--Wise Strike, by Smart
Strike) went off favored at 4-5 in his first start since bringing$450,000 at OBS March earlier this year. Sent to the lead froman inside draw, he had to put in a sustained drive from aroundthe far turn and was game to battle back and hold off Kinetic
Control (Not This Time) who dove through along the rail but
came up a neck short on the wire. Publisher (American Pharoah)came home well to be third while So Sandy (Omaha Beach) was
ninth at long odds. The third winner for his freshman sire (byInto Mischief), Authentic Strike has a yearling half-sister by Not
This Time and a weanling half-brother by Jack Christopher. Wise
Strike is due back to Forte for 2025. Sales History: $270,000 Wlg'22 FTKNOV; $375,000 RNA Ylg '23 KEESEP; $450,000 2yo '24

widest in a field of nine, the homebred colt was content to sit in
the breeze from about midpack down the back of the track.
Warming up to the task on the turn, he gradually improved intoa threatening third nearing the straight and kicked on nicely inthe final furlong to graduate by four lengths. Matenro Son is thelatest foal to the races for his dam, who defeated JapaneseHorse of the Year Lys Gracieux (Jpn) (Heart's Cry {Jpn}) in Group
2 company over a mile while tacking on a further three victories
at Group 3 level. His year-older full-sister Miss Matenro wasplaced at two and the mare is also represented by a yearling

INSPIRAL LOSS
TAKES STING OUT OFSHOEMARK PILE-ON

Kieran Shoemark has the staunch backing of the Gosdens
Emma BerryBy Paul Hayward
A weight was lifted off Kieran Shoemark at Deauville. He was
not the reason Inspiral had stopped winning.
Shoemark was a spectator as Cheveley Park Stud's distinguishedFrankel mare was soundly beaten into third behind Charyn in
Sunday's Prix du Haras de Fresnay-le-Buffard Jacques le Marois.
The ride on Inspiral had passed to Ryan Moore as turbulence
gripped Shoemark's season--his first as Frankie Dettori's
replacement at the John and Thady Gosden yard.
The starting point is that nobody gets to be first jockey to theGosdens without the necessary talent. The second is that Inspiral's
second consecutive slow start and Charyn's brilliance were toomuch even for Moore. Shoemark will have spotted Callum
Shepherd's name on the Marois card. Shepherd, who finishedfourth on Quddwah, endured this year's highest profile
jocking-off, on Ambiente Friendly in the Derby. Being 'dropped' in
racing is as old as the Thoroughbred.
Inspiral's best appears to be behind her. But there is no reason
why Shoemark cannot absorb the blow of the Inspiral demotion
and reboot his year, as Dettori himself did after provoking thedispleasure of Gosden snr. The mistake is not to go through arough patch. It's to surrender to despondency. Cont. p3

THE ARQANA LOWDOWN: HARAS DESCAPUCINES By Emma Berry
It is impossible to miss the draft from Haras des Capucines as
you arrive at the main concourse of the Arqana sales grounds.
For a start it is the largest in the book with 45 yearlings
catalogued for sale, and it includes a spacious seating area forviewers to take a break while working their way through lists.
This year marks the 30th anniversary of Eric Puerari andMichel Zerolo consigning in Deauville under the Capucinesbanner. Following the August Sale they will also offer 20
yearlings for next week's V.2 Sale, from which they sold thePoule d'Essai des Poulains winner Olmedo (Fr) (Declaration Of
War) in 2016.
Eric Puerari says: "With Etreham, we have each of us been on
the podium 20 times at this sale since the year 2000. Over thelast few years the Arqana results have been good, and from
Capucines we had this year's French Oaks winner, Sparkling
Plenty, in our draft, even though she didn't get sold." Cont. p4

Kieran Shoemark cont. from p1
Shoemark's appointment at Clarehaven could be seen as aclassic dance move in sport, where the new No 1 is the polar
opposite of his predecessor. Plainly Dettori and Shoemark arecontrasting personalities--though Dettori, too, had his substanceabuse phase. The perception of Shoemark is bound to be
skewed subconsciously by the reality that he isn't Frankie
Dettori. All Manchester United managers since Sir Alex Ferguson
have suffered in part because they are not him.
But 'personality' is only one factor propelling a horse in a race.
Ryan Moore manages to be the world's best jockey without
putting on a cabaret. His talent does the singing and dancing.
Shoemark will be smart enough to know he's toiling in the void
left by Dettori; that any perceived error will mutate into a
debate about whether he was the right pick in the first place as
the Gosdens' go-to rider.

TUESDAY • 13 AUGUST 2024

A helpful link can be traced to Shoemark's earlier problems
with drink and drugs. One lesson of addiction is that it can beovercome (not always, but with luck, and love). A negative
publicity maelstrom is also survivable, especially in this age of
hurtling events, when every sports story lasts about fiveminutes.
It may help Shoemark to see the adverse comment at
Goodwood as a routine pile-on, short-lived, and correctable bywinners and good riding. The fundamental truth about pile-ons
is that the assailants will soon rush off to start a new one. Only
the duration of your own time as the target is in question.
Which is not to say that jockeys should be exempt fromscrutiny and criticism. Journalists are not meant to becheerleaders. Journalism must, though, resist the temptation tokeep saying what has already been said, to gnaw on the alreadychewed. I have no difficulty in pleading guilty to that myself inthe past.
This column will neither revisit the technicalities of his rides on
Emily Upjohn or Free Wind at Goodwood, nor pronounce on
whether Shoemark is riding badly or well--except to say that anindispensable ingredient of success in all sports is confidence.

Kieran Shoemark cont.
Even the greatest goalscorers, golfers and Wimbledonchampions will tell you that self-belief is no respecter of status.
When confidence exits stage left, doubt enters stage right.
Clarity of thought then follows self-assurance out of thebuilding. A fog of uncertainty creeps across the normal
execution of skills.
It should surprise no-one that Shoemark soon found himself ina binary bunfight. That's how most discussions happen. It's not
the "media" who torture professional sportsmen and womenthese days so much as social media, with its drive-by cruelty.
The ignorance of the vengeful keyboard warrior takes noaccount of balance or context. In that world, a feeling ispresented as fact. Everyone is a columnist now. People who playsport for a living must learn to distinguish between noise andvalid comment. It's not easy.
The worst-case scenario would be that Shoemark loses theGosden retainer, either gradually or suddenly. The best one isthat the Gosdens view the past fortnight as a standard patch of
turmoil for a good jockey who finds himself in the fiercest
spotlight of his career. Emily Upjohn's owner has already given
Shoemark his "100% support" and Gosden has been protective.

TUESDAY • 13 AUGUST 2024

There's no hiding it: the melodrama of elite sport feeds onsackings and rifts and reckonings. In racing, the Gosden-Dettori
froideur was much bigger news than the Shoemark kerfuffle.
Many seemingly intractable 'issues' resolve themselves withcalm discussion and constructive honesty.
Shoemark has had a tricky summer. Losing the ride on Inspiralwill have hurt him. None of that is terminal. The poet Robert
Frost said that everything he had learned about life could besummarised in three words: "It goes on."Haras des Capucines cont. from p1"We also had Borna, who missed out on victory in the German
Derby by a nose," Puerari continued. "Deauville is a really goodsource of group winners. Everybody knows it and that's whatgives us confidence now. It's impossible to say what will happen,
and of course for the first time in many years Jean-Claude
Rouget will not be present at the sales and we will miss him alot. He has been a driving force at the sales for so many years
and hopefully he will be back in October. We of course also
depend a lot on the international market and Arqana does agood job on bringing people to the sale." Cont. p5

ST MARK'S BASILICA AND PALACE PIER LEAD
FIRST-SEASON SIRES TO NOTE AT ARQANA
Lot 28, a Frankel half-sister to Group 2 winner Waldbiene

Haras des Capucines cont.
Lot 28, a filly by Frankel (GB) out of Waldjagd (GB)
(Observatory)"She's a spectacular filly and the two-year-old [Misunderstood]
just won the Prix de Crevecoeur on his first start and is aiming
for the Grand Criterium," Puerari notes.
A black-type performer, Waldjagd is a daughter of the German
St Leger winner Wurftaube (Ger) (Acatenango {Gr}) from anaccomplished family which includes the Arc winner Waldgeist(GB) and St Leger winner Masked Marvel (Ire). The yearling is a
half-sister to Group 2 winner Waldbiene (Ger) (Intello {Ger}) and
Listed winner Urwald (GB) (Le Havre {Ire}).
Lot 218, a colt by Galiway (GB) out of Milena's Dream (Ire)(Authorized {Ire})"We have a very good group of Galiway yearlings; several ofthem look very racy, including the brother to Etoile," says
Puerari.
Milena's Dream was herself fourth in the G3 Prix desReservoirs as a juvenile and her standout performer at stud so
far is the GI EP Taylor Stakes winner Etoile (Fr) (Siyouni {Fr}),
who was also won the G3 Prix Cleopatre.
Claim to fame: Along with two of this season's Classic winners in
the aforementioned Sparkling Plenty (Fr) (Kingman {GB}) and G2
Derby Italiano hero Borna (Fr) (Saxon Warrior {Jpn}), graduatesfrom previous drafts of Capucines at Arqana include theBreeders' Cup winner Zagora (Fr) and Flotilla (Fr). The latter also
won the Poule d'Essai des Pouliches and she is joined on the listby fellow Group 1 winners Morandi (Fr), Never On Sunday (Fr)and Etoile, among others. Haras des Capucines has also sold thesole Classic winner to emerge from the V.2 Sale to date in
Olmedo, while another Breeders' Cup winner, Audarya (Fr), wasoffered at the October Sale.

By Adam Houghton
The colt crowned Cartier Horse of the Year in 2021 when heretired as a five-time Group 1 winner; an elite miler who also
won five races at the top level, notably at Royal Ascot in both2020 and 2021; and the GI Breeders' Cup Mile hero of 2021,
speedy enough to win the previous year's G1 Prix Maurice deGheest over six and a half furlongs.
Those three summations alone should give some idea of thecalibre of racehorse we're dealing with when it comes to the2025 crop of first-season sires.
But that is in the past, their exploits on the track consigned tothe history books. Now all attentions turn to their second
careers in the stallion ranks, with one of the first big
examinations of their credentials set to come at this week's
Arqana August Sale when we all get the chance to cast an eye
over their first yearlings. Cont. p7

St Mark's Basilica | Zuzanna Lupa

Arqana first-season sires cont.
Altogether six as yet unproven stallions are represented by
yearlings scheduled to go through the ring at Arqana. They
include St Mark's Basilica (Fr), who seems destined to take starbilling in this category if sheer weight of numbers alone isanything to go by. With 12 lots by St Mark's Basilica in the
catalogue, he is the most heavily represented of the first-season
sires, ahead of fellow French Classic winner Victor Ludorum (GB)with 10.
A half-brother to the 2,000 Guineas winner Magna Grecia (Ire)by Siyouni (Fr), St Mark's Basilica was a seven-figure yearling in
his own right when sold to M. V. Magnier for 1,300,000gns at
Tattersalls October Book 1. Almost a year to the day that hewent under the hammer at Tattersalls, he returned toNewmarket to crown his juvenile campaign with victory in theG1 Dewhurst Stakes.
The title of Europe's champion two-year-old was just the firstof many to be earned by St Mark's Basilica, who added four
further Group 1 wins to his tally in 2021, first completing a
French Classic double in the Poule d'Essai des Poulains and Prix
du Jockey Club and then decisively beating his elders in the
Coral-Eclipse and Irish Champion Stakes. That sequence ofvictories saw him retire to Coolmore Stud at the end of 2021 as
the world champion three-year-old colt.
St Mark's Basilica covered 176 mares, at a fee of i65,000, in
his first season at stud, including the Oaks heroine Talent (GB)(New Approach {Ire}) whose filly by the stallion was the highestpriced foal sold in Europe and North America last year whenbought by Newsells Park Stud for 575,000gns at the December
Foal Sale. If that's a sign of things to come then expect fireworks
when the first dozen yearlings by St Mark's Basilica are offeredto buyers at Arqana.

TUESDAY • 13 AUGUST 2024

Three of them will be offered by Ecurie des Monceaux whose
Henri Bozo spoke with Emma Berry in Monday's TDN,
highlighting Lot 178, a half-sister to G1 Grand Prix de Paris
winner Feed The Flame (GB) (Kingman {GB}), and Lot 270, a
half-sister to the Irish Oaks heroine Chicquita (Ire) (Montjeu{Ire}) and G1 McKinnon Stakes victrix Magic Wand (Ire) (Galileo{Ire}), as ones to watch.
Another to look out for is Lot 136, a filly out of the winningFrankel (GB) mare Frisella (GB) offered by Haras de Montaigu.
Already the dam of the Listed-placed Grand Scoop (GB) (No Nay
Never), Frisella is in turn out of a Dansili (GB) half-sister to theoutstanding miler and sire Kingman (GB).
The standout performer among Kingman's progeny to date is
the five-time Group 1 winner Palace Pier (GB), another firstseason sire who has four yearlings catalogued to sell at the
Arqana August Sale.
Palace Pier covered 154 mares in his first season as a Darleystallion, at a fee of ,55,000, having retired to Dalham Hall Stud in
Newmarket as the winner of nine of his 11 races for the Gosden
yard. His five-top level wins included the St James's Palace Stakes
and Queen Anne Stakes when appearing at Royal Ascot inconsecutive years, while, fittingly for the week that's in it, he also
won back-to-back editions of the Prix Jacques le Marois.
As for the four yearlings set to be offered in the seaside resort
where their sire enjoyed two of his finest hours, Lot 58 is sure to
attract plenty of interest as a half-brother to the G1 Prix de laForet winner and sire Aclaim (Ire), consigned by Harasd'Etreham. Similar comments apply to Lot 320, a filly consigned
by Haras des Capucines. She is out of the Listed-placed Sun Bear
(GB) (Dubawi {Ire}), who is in turn out of the Irish Oaks scorer
Great Heavens (GB) (Galileo {Ire}). Cont. p8

Victor Ludorum | Marc Ruhl

Arqana first-season sires cont.
Palace Pier is one of three Darley stallions with first-time
representation at the Arqana August Sale, with the others
including the aforementioned Victor Ludorum, who will bestanding at Etreham from 2025 after it was announced that
Darley's French-based stallions would be on the move having
long stood at Julian Ince's Haras du Logis.
Victor Ludorum arrived there ahead of the 2022 breeding
season as a five-time winner for Andre Fabre. He was unbeatenin three starts at two, culminating with a ready win in the G1Prix Jean-Luc Lagardere, before gaining the biggest success of his
career when winning the G1 Poule d'Essai des Poulains as athree-year-old.
Standing at a fee of i15,000, Victor Ludorum reportedly
covered 154 mares in his first season at Haras du Logis, including
the unraced Mastercraftsman (Ire) mare Harem Mistress (Ire),dam of the G1 Prince Of Wales's Stakes runner-up Zarakem (Fr)(Zarak {Fr}). The result of that mating is Lot 152, a filly describedby Etreham's Nicolas de Chambure as "a good showcase for thestallion" when he spoke to TDN last week.
Of the other nine yearlings by Victor Ludorum, Lot 32 also
deserves a mention. This filly from the La Motteraye
Consignment is a half-sister to the G1 Tattersalls Gold Cupscorer Alenquer (Fr) (Adlerflug {Ger}).
La Motteraye are also responsible for one of the three
yearlings on offer from the first crop of the prolific Space Blues(Ire), who retired to Darley's Kildangan Stud in Ireland as thewinner of 11 of his 19 starts for Charlie Appleby. Like Palace
Pier, he too enjoyed one of his finest hours at Deauville when
winning the Prix Maurice de Gheest in 2020, before bowing out
in a blaze of glory the following year with back-to-back top-levelvictories in the Prix de la Foret and Breeders' Cup Mile.
Blessed with a potent turn of foot, Space Blues proved popularwith breeders in his first season at Kildangan when covering 160

mares at a i17,500 fee, including the winning Gooseley Chope(Fr), dam of the dual Group 3 winner and sire Goken (Fr), who
was also third in the G1 King's Stand Stakes. The resulting colt
will be offered by Haras de Colleville as Lot 145, while the filly
from La Motteraye comes just two lots later. Her second dam is
the classy Naissance Royale (Ire) (Giant's Causeway), the winnerof the GII Lake Placid Stakes, GII Nassau Stakes and GII Las
Palmas Handicap in North America.
La Motteraye's Lot 259, a filly out of an unraced half-sister tothe GII New York Stakes and G3 Prix de Psyche heroine
Homerique (Exchange Rate), is also significant for being the only
yearling by the G1 July Cup winner Starman (GB) to be offeredthis week.
Incidentally, the progeny of Tally-Ho Stud resident Starman are
sure to become a more common sight as we progress throughthe yearling sales season. After all, the son of Dutch Art (GB) was
the busiest new stallion in Europe in 2022 when covering abumper book of 254 mares, at a fee of i17,500.
Last but not least, the G1 Phoenix Stakes winner Lucky Vega
(Ire), who was also placed in the 2,000 Guineas and St James's
Palace Stakes as a three-year-old, will be represented by three
yearlings this week. He commanded the lowest fee of the six
first-season sires at i15,000, but the team at the Irish National
Stud were rewarded with a healthy book of 152 mares.
The pick of his three yearlings at Arqana could be Lot 321, a
half-sister to the multiple Listed winner Taamol (Ire) (Helmet{Aus}) consigned by Jamie Railton Sales Agency, but don't let Lot
277 go under the radar, either. The filly offered by Coulonces
has an interesting mix of speed and stamina in her pedigree,
being out of a half-sister to the G1 Prix du Cadran scorer Mille Et
Mille (GB) (Muhtathir {GB}).

LATIN FEVER SOLD TO AMERICA AFTER
IMPRESSIVE MAIDEN WIN

Latin Fever | Racingfotos.com

The recent Kevin Coleman-trained Leopardstown maiden
winner Latin Fever (Ire) (Equiano {Fr}) has been purchased tocontinue her career in the United States in a deal brokered by
Avenue Bloodstock's Mark McStay and Philip Shelton ofMedallion Racing. The juvenile filly, who was bred by Donal
Boylan and bought as a yearling by Adam Potts and Danny
Donovan for i27,000, won on debut at odds of 80/1.
Commenting on the purchase, McStay said, "Latin Fever
couldn't have been more visually impressive on debut and I'mdelighted that we've secured her for a group of American-basedowners. Interestingly my form analyst Philip Hackett was
extremely keen that we should pay her serious attention andwas on the phone immediately after the race."
He continued, "When I presented her to Philip Shelton wewere all on the same page. Adam Potts was extremely
straightforward to deal with and a lot of credit goes to him andhis co-owners [Brian Sheerin and Danny O'Donovan] along withtrainer Kevin Coleman. Joe Miller, representing Rancho
Temescal, was also interested in her from the outset so they've
also joined the partnership, I believe. Completing the ownershipgroup are Omar Aldabbagh, Steve Weston's Parkland
Thoroughbreds, Evan Trommer and Medallion Racing. Let's hope
she's lucky."Medallion Racing's Philip Shelton added, "We are very excitedabout Latin Fever. She won from an impossible position at
Leopardstown. She is going to Mark Casse and we are pointing
