60 MINUTES AIRSEXPOSE ON HORSE RACING
DOPINGHISA CEO Lisa Lazarus | 60 Minutes Photo

by Bill Finley
The CBS news program A60 Minutes,@ which aired Sunday
evening included a segment that covered horse racing=s worst
problems, horses breaking down and dying and the use of
performance-enhancing drugs on horses. 60 Minutes often
reaches as many as 12 million viewers. The segment was hosted
by correspondent Cecilia Vega.
Though the program gave ample time to Jockey Club Chairman
Stuart Janney III, Horseracing Integrity and Safety Authority CEO
Lisa Lazarus, Meadowlands owner Jeff Gural, and others who
have been working to solve the problems, it left no doubt thatthe sport has pressing issues that if left unsolved threaten its
existence.
AHorse racing has reached its moment of reckoning and we
wanted to know, `can the sport really be reformed or is it toolate?=@ Vega said.
What followed was a recantation of the rash of fatalities thatsurrounded the GI Kentucky Derby and other major events,
which included graphic footage of horses dying on the track.
APeople who are not in your world see this headline of morethan a dozen dead horses and they think, `what is going on inthat industry?=@ Vega asked Lazarus. Cont. Pg. 3

BOOK 3 CONCLUDES WITH NUMBERSDOWN AT KEENELAND NOVEMBER
by Jessica Martini
LEXINGTON, KY - The two-session Book 3 section of the
Keeneland November Breeding Stock sale concluded Sunday
evening with figures well off the corresponding section from the2022 auction. During sessions at Keeneland Saturday and
Sunday, 494 horses grossed $30,888,000 for an average of$62,526 and a median of $50,000. The average is down 22.1%
from the 2022 Book 3, while the median declined 16.7%. There
were 15 horses to sell for $200,000 or over during the twosessions, down from 25 a year ago.
AIt is quiet,@ Sarah Sutherland of Indian Creek said of themarket Sunday at Keeneland. ABut I don't think it's unfair.
Obviously, we are seeing a little bit of a correction, but I think if
you are willing to accept that and adjust how you're valuing
horses, there are plenty of people here to buy them and you can
get them sold.@ Cont. Pg. 4

60 Minutes Cont. From Pg. 1
AMy response is that HISA is here now and we=re going toaddress it,@ she said.
She continued: AThere=s clearly a problem that needs to beaddressed and now we have some tools to fight it. We reallyowe it to those trainers who have spent their lives in this sport
who have an incredible amount of integrity to get rid of those
who tarnish this sport.@
It was not hard to get industry leaders to admit that doping is amajor issue that has yet to be brought under control.
A(Doping) is a big problem,@ Janney said. AIt strikes at the
integrity of the sport. There=s nothing about it that is
acceptable.@
Asked how the sport can clean itself up, Janney replied: AYou
put people away. You send them out of the sport and some ofthem go to jail.@That very process began in March of 2020 when more than 33
veterinarians, trainers and drug distributors were charged by
the Justice Department for using and manufacturingperformance-enhancing drugs.
AThe FBI said this led to broken legs, cardiac issues and insome cases death,@ Vega said.
The show played wiretaps of conversations between convictedtrainer Jorge Navarro and a another trainer in which Navarro
bragged about how the drugs he was using made his horses run
faster.
AI (expletive) gave it to this horse and this horse (expletive)
galloped. He galloped,@ Navarro said to the unidentified trainer.
AAmino acids?@ the other trainer asked.
AYeah, some amino acid injectable. Small bottle,@ Navarro
replied.
They also played wiretaps from harness trainer Nick Surick inwhich he spoke of how he was put in charge of disposing ofhorses that Navarro had killed.

Cecila Vega and Shaun Richards | 60 Minutes PhotoMONDAY • NOVEMBER 13, 2023

The FBI was assisted by 5 Stones Intelligence, which was hiredby The Jockey Club and Meadowlands owner Jeff Gural. Janney
said 5 Stones was told to not be afraid to go after the biggest
names in the sport, like Navarro and Servis.
AI said I=m not interested in you going in an finding a relatively
unimportant person working in someone=s barn who has made a
bet they shouldn=t have made or has done something
immaterial to what we=re talking about,@ he said. AI want you togo after the important people that I think are corrupting the
sport.@
Before they were arrested, Servis and Navarro were clearly
worried they could be caught and that the penalties could ruin
their careers. A wiretap caught them saying the following:
Servis: We can=t do it in broad daylight, we got to do it like...@Navarro: AI know. I=ll keep it at my...I=ll keep...I=ll keep it in mycar. I ain=t worried about that.@
Servis: What about, what I amBI don=t want people to see that
(expletive). We are dead. We are dead.@Shaun Richards, who was the lead FBI agent on the case thatnabbed Navarro, Jason Servis and others, spoke a hopeful note,that the progress made with the arrests has put investigators,
HISA and others on the right trail.

around looking for it. Now, if you have one that is a legitimate$150,000 foal, everybody is gonig to follow it up and you might
get $225,000.@
Taylor said he saw some evidence that breeders are holding onto their best foals while hoping for a home run at the yearlingsales next fall.
AThe market is polarized at the yearling sales also,@ Taylor said.
ASo you might get $750,000 for a [yearling] that you have raised
for $350,000 before the sale. A lot of these breeders don't want
to give up that opportunity. So they are keeping the one thatthey can sell next year for all the money and they are going tomove along some of the ones that they know there is no hugehome run on the end of it. They would rather cull those out andcut expenses and keep those gold nuggets hoping to cash themin next September or at Saratoga or wherever it is.@Taylor continued, AAt the beginning of the day in session 2.2, alot people were saying the sky is falling. There is definitely an
adjustment going on cheaper mares, but I think the market foranything with quality is actually pretty solid.@
The Keeneland November Breeding Stock Sale continues
through Thursday with sessions beginning daily at 10 a.m.

Taking Aim | Keeneland Photo

Keeneland Book 3 Cont. From Pg. 1
AObviously, the top is the top and it's always strong, but we'vebeen very realistic with our reserves and we've had no trouble
selling horses.@
Indian Creek sold the top-priced weanling of Sunday's session
when a colt by Maxfield sold for $240,000 to Avocet Bloodstock.
KatieRich Farms was responsible for the session's top marewhen Dixiana Farms paid $270,000 for Taking Aim (TrappeShot).
Taylor Made Sales Agency was the leading consignor at
Sunday's session and continued to lead through five sessions of
the auction with 148 head sold for $20,714,500.
AI've read a lot in the press--and it's fact--that the mares aredown and the buy-back rate has been up,@ said Taylor Made'sMark Taylor. ABut just on the days that I've been selling, like
today and the second day of Book 2, I actually thought themarket was pretty fair. If you bring up anything with any quality-we just sold a mare for $250,000--there is money there.@
During Saturday's session of the November sale, PeterO'Callaghan, annually a major buyer of weanlings, lamented alack of quality foals on offer at the auction.
AI do agree with what Peter O'Callaghan was saying, that, for
us internally, we had fewer foals,@ Taylor said. AI think there arefewer really high-quality foals on offer and a lot of thepinhookers that are here want quality. So if you are trying to get
a $20,000 foal moved, there doesn't seem to be a big crowd

Dixiana Aims True at Keeneland Sunday
Taking Aim (Trappe Shot) (hip 1735), a half-sister to GI
Breeders' Cup Dirt Mile winner Tapizar (Tapit), will be relocatingfrom Larry Doyle's KatieRich Farms to Dixiana Farms after selling
for $270,000 Sunday at Keeneland.
AShe looked like a nice mare,@ said Dixiana Farm Manager
Robert Tillyer. AShe produced a graded-stakes placed horse andit's a nice family, so we took a shot with her.@ Cont.

TDN HEADLINE NEWS • PAGE 5 OF 15 • THETDN.COM

Of the mare's price tag, Tillyer said, AIt seems like the quality isa little down for mares. It's hard to find nice ones and she
seemed like the obvious one.@KatieRich purchased the mare for $200,000 at the 2019 FasigTipton February sale. Her first foal, the now-3-year-old Taking
Candy (Twirling Candy), won the GII Saranac S. this year. She
also has 2-year-old filly by Into Mischief, Rascality, who sold for$190,000 at last year's Fasig-Tipton October Sale. The mare soldSunday in foal to sprint champion Jackie's Warrior.
AI think she might have been a diamond in the rough here,@
said KatieRich manager George Barnes. AWe thought she had a
lot of quality and she might stand out here pretty well in Book 3,
which proved to be the case. She has a lot of upside. Her first
foal is graded-stakes placed and still has his 4-year-old year
ahead of him. We've only gotten later foals--two May foals andan April foal--out of her, so I think if the buyers get an early foal
out of her, they will do very well commercially.@
KatieRich, which is currently home to some 26 mares, is in the
midst of a reduction, according to Barnes.
AEverybody asks why we are selling her and it's just a reduction
and trying to get income into the farm,@ he said. AWe've slowly
been reducing over the last couple of years, so we will plan tofoal out 26 mares next year.@

Rock Ridge Thoroughbreds Charms Them
The Guffey family's Rock Ridge Thoroughbreds, which sold
Holiday Soiree (Harlan's Holiday) (hip 23), the dam of recent GII
Raven Run S. winner Vahva (Gun Runner) for $300,000 during
Book 1, restocked Sunday at Keeneland, going to $250,000 toacquire Charmingly (Curlin) (hip 1845) from the Taylor Made
Sales Agency consignment.
Out of Goldfield (Yes It's True), the unraced 3-year-old is a
half-sister to Grade I winner Complexity (Maclean's Music) and afull-sister to graded winner Valadorna (Curlin). She sold in foal
to Maclean's Music.
AShe is bred on a similar cross to Complexity and she is a fullsister to that great Curlin mare,@ Codee Guffey said of the
mare's appeal.
The family also purchased Arrifana (Curlin) (hip 183) for$450,000 Wednesday at Keeneland and came back later in
Sunday's session to acquire Easy on the Sugar (Frosted) (hip1888) for $155,000.
While the operation parted with Holiday Soiree, it is taking
home Lemon Belle (Lemon Drop Kid) (hip 249), the dam of GIII
Gotham S. winner Raise Cain (Violence), who RNA'd for$485,000 Wednesday.
AWe keep 15 mares, that's kind of the number that we want,@
Guffey said.

TDN HEADLINE NEWS • PAGE 6 OF 15 • THETDN.COM

AWe are trying to keep a boutique broodmare band.@Of the market, Guffey said, AI think for the better mares, you
are having to step up and pay for them. But there is not a lot of
middle. It seems like the top end does really well and that's all
there is.@Maxfield Colt in Demand at Keeneland
A colt from the first crop of Maxfield (hip 1528) went to thefront of the weanling class at Keeneland Sunday when selling for$240,000 to Bill Betz's Avocet Bloodstock. Bred by Bob
Edwards's Fifth Avenue Bloodstock, the weanling is out of In It
for the Gold (Speightstown), who is a daughter of Grade I placed
All Due Respect (Value Plus). He was consigned by Indian Creek.
AThat was fantastic,@ Indian Creek's Sarah Sutherland said of
the result. AWe knew coming over that he was one of the better
foals that we had in on the day. We've loved him from the very
beginning on the farm. I think the Maxfield cross with the
Speightstown mare worked really, really beautifully. He had alovely way about him and great balance. And his movement was
really effortless. I think all of the activity at the barn wasevidenced in the result.@
Winner of the 2021 GI Clark S., Maxfield stands at Darley for$35,000. In addition to hip 1528, he was also represented at
Keeneland this week by a $300,000 colt (hip 724).

MONDAY • NOVEMBER 13, 2023

The stallion has had six sell at Keeneland for an average of$164,500.
Of the weanlings she has seen from Maxfield's first crop,
Sutherland said, AWe have a handful of the Maxfields at home.
And we like them a lot. He's done well with mares that we bred
where we had to stretch them out and get a little bit of scopeand leg. Hopefully, we have more results like this when we bringthem to the market next year.@

BAFFERT 2-YEAR-OLD HORSEPOWER
EVIDENT ON DEL MAR OPENING WEEKENDThe Week in Review by T.D. Thornton
Trainer Bob Baffert went 0-for-9 in Breeders' Cup races, andfour months ago he received his dis-invitation to the 150th GI
Kentucky Derby in the form of an extension of his original
two-year suspension from properties owned by the gaming
company Churchill Downs, Inc. (CDI).
But neither the Breeders' Cup blanking nor the Derby
banishment should be taken as indications that the Hall-of-Fameconditioner is running low on horsepower, particularly in the
2-year-old division.
A pair of Baffert juveniles on the first two days of the Del Mar
meeting this past weekend underscored that his stable willcontinue to churn out a deep rotation of Triple Crown aspirants,

TDN HEADLINE NEWS • PAGE 11 OF 15 • THETDN.COM

although it remains to be seen how they might arrive at the firstof the spring Classics, whether in the form of a switch to anotherconditioner, or under Baffert's own name if and when anothercourt fight against CDI materializes.
Second-time starter Coach Prime (Quality Road) caught theeye and earned 'TDN Rising Star' status with a 7 1/4-length
blowout victory over a mile Nov. 10. The $1.7-million KEESEP
colt for Zedan Racing Stables was pinballed at the break frompost nine, but the 7-5 favorite settled into a comfortablemidpack stalking spot while three wide through the clubhouseturn behind quick opening fractions of :21.44 and :44.94.
Flavien Prat guided Coach Prime to within two lengths of thelead while on the inside a half-mile from home, and the colt
continued "on hold" while waiting for running room as multiple
pace-pressers took turns chipping at the lead. He shifted out tothe three path at the quarter pole, just before a wall of four at
the front split into two turning for home, and Coach Prime sliced
on through between them while still in hand.
Beyond a single crack of the crop after cresting the eighth pole
unopposed, Prat largely hand-rode Coach Prime through thefinal furlong. The 1:37.18 final clocking and low-looking 75 Beyer
Speed Figure can be chalked up as artifacts of this colt notnearing full extension and being geared down in the late stages.
Stablemate Pilot Commander (Justify), a $145,000 KEEJAN
RNA and a $700,000 OBSMAR buy for CSLR Racing Partners,
impressed with a debut six-furlong win at 13-10 odds under Juan
Hernandez the following afternoon.
This Baffert trainee shot straight to the front, conceded thelead to an inside challenger a half-mile out, reclaimed it withease a furlong later, edged away at the top of the stretch, andsuccessfully repulsed a challenge from the third-favorite in thebetting while building his winning margin to 2 1/4 lengths in

Fierceness | Horsephotos

Juvy Jock Streak Stopped At 13Y
The target at the top of the totem pole for the 2024 Derby, is,of course, 'TDN Rising Star' Fierceness (City of Light), whotrounced the GI Breeders' Cup Juvenile field by 6 1/4 lengths enroute to a 105 Beyer victory.
In the six months between now and the first Saturday in May,
prepare to be frequently reminded how poor a metric winning
the 1 1/16-miles championship race for 2-year-olds is inpredicting prowess at age three going 10 furlongs.
Since the advent of the Breeders' Cup in 1984, Juvenile
winners have accounted for only two Kentucky Derby wins from39 runnings (Street Sense in 2007 and Nyquist in 2016).
Second- and third-place Juvenile horses don't fare muchbetter. Those 78 horses have produced just two Derby victories,
by Alysheba (third in the 1986 Juvenile) and Spend A Buck (third
in the 1984 Juvenile).
Oddly enough, another "drought" type of streak in theJuvenile--this one relating to jockeys--was snapped when John
Velazquez scored aboard Fierceness in this year's edition.
Dating to 2010, when Velazquez last won the Juvenile aboard
Uncle Mo, 13 different riders had taken turns winning thechampionship dirt race for 2-year-old males. Of all the Breeders'
Cup races, that was the longest such active streak of different
jockeys winning without a rider repeating in the sequence.
You'd have to be a true trivia wizard to recount the complete
list from memory. Following Velazquez in 2010, the winning
Juvenile jockeys were, in order, Ramon Dominguez, Rosie
Napravnik, Martin Garcia, Kent Desormeaux, Mario Gutierrez,
Julien Leparoux, Jose Ortiz, Joel Rosario, Flavien Prat, Luis Saez,
Mike Smith and Irad Ortiz, Jr.

Bravo Homecoming
Joe Bravo has switched his tack back to Florida after being
based in Southern California the past several seasons. It's ahomecoming in terms of where the 52-year-old veteran firststarted riding (at Calder Race Course in 1988), and also in termsof the house Bravo owns in Ft. Lauderdale.
"I loved racing in California," Bravo told the Del Mar notes
team. "I was really grateful to be around some good people, but
I just got a little homesick and wanted to come back and be
closer to my family."
After stints at Calder and Philadelphia Park, Bravo made hismark for 30-plus years as "Jersey Joe," dominating the standings
at Monmouth Park and the Meadowlands. He generally rode at
Gulfstream Park during the winter months when New Jersey
racing went dark for the season.
"I've been away from family and friends I grew up with mywhole life and that was behind the decision as a whole," Bravo
said. "I just hope everyone understands it's more of a personal
than a business decision. I might regret it. I might be thankful."That "Whatever will be, will be," attitude was evident--quite
literally--in Bravo's second mount back at Gulfstream.
That's because Bravo won the third race Sunday aboard
Whateverwilbewilbe (Tapiture), a second-time starter who paid
$13.80 to win.

R CALLI KIM STAYS PERFECT ON THE YEAR
WITH EASY WIN IN LONG ISLAND S.

R Calli Kim | CoglianeseComing into Sunday's GIII Long Island S. on a three-race
winning streak, R Calli Kim (Revolutionary) looked to make it
four-for-four in 2023 since returning off a year layoff earlier thissummer.

MONDAY • NOVEMBER 13, 2023

A winner over distances only up to a mile earlier in her career,
the now 6-year-old mare showed promise when stretching out
in late Spring 2022, taking a 1 1/4-mile off-the-turf race at
Churchill in May and coming in third at Belmont over 1 3/8 miles
before going to the sidelines. Laid up until July of this year and
now racing out of trainer Brendan Walsh's barn, R Calli Kim
returned a winner in the $32,000 claimer at Saratoga July 23
and has only upped the ante in each start since. An allowance
winner at both Kentucky Downs and Keeneland to begin the Fall,
she looked to add graded-stakes success to her resume Sunday.
A touch slow from the gate as a wall of horses closed in aheadof her, R Calli Kim under Jose Ortiz was guided down to the railin near-last position as the field stacked up into the first of threeturns. Paced up front by Whatlovelookslike (English Channel)
and Vergara (Noble Mission {GB}), the seven runners took theirtime past the wire the first time by as the opening half went in:49.12. Racing alone near the back, the 6-5 favorite began to
improve her position as the runners in front of her slowed up
the backstretch. She came three wide with Vergara now alone
on the lead but needed running room as she was caught backdown inside of runners turning past the quarter pole. Vergara,
now re-engaged with Whatlovelookslike at the top of the lane,
kicked on but R Calli Kim found a seam outside the furlong poleand showed an impressive turn of foot late to inhale the leadinggroup with a sixteenth to run and sprint right on by despite
lugging in and switching back to her left lead. Rhombique(Ghostzapper) outran her 41-1 odds to chase the winner insecond but R Calli Kim was long gone and won going away.
AShe=s really exceeded expectations this year,@ said winningtrainer Brendan Walsh. AWe had to stop on her last year. We
weren=t sure where she was going to go from there, but shecame back and has gone from strength to strength through theyear. To win a Grade III like she did today--if you had told me six
months ago she was going to do that, I=d have told you that you
were absolutely crazy. But she=s gotten better and better as theyear has gone on and my hat=s off to her.@
Pedigree Note:
Keeping it in the family, R Calli Kim is a half-sister to last year's
GIII Long Island S. winner and $600,000 KEENOV broodmare
purchase Temple City Terror (Temple City). The dam, a producerof four winners from as many foals, has not reported any
offspring since the now 5-year-old Silent Steve (Dominus). Sire
Revolutionary, who stood at Kentucky's WinStar Farm before
being exported to Korea in 2019, now has a fourth stakes
winner to his credit while broodmare sire More Than Ready has
now sired the dams of 165 stakes winner around the world.

Nash becomes a TDN Rising Star at Churchill Sunday | Coady

While there may have been a few unanswered questions
heading into Sunday's seventh race at Churchill Downs, there
seemed to be none afterward. Installed the second betting
choice behind the 7-5 choice, GISP Be You (Curlin), Nash
(Medaglia d'Oro) completely dismantled his competition withseemingly little effort, cruising home an eye-catching 10 1/4length winner while stamping himself a TDN Rising Star in theprocess.
Sent screaming to the front in the blink of an eye, the 9-5
chance cut out an opening quarter in :23.83 and a half in :47.93.
Still moving powerfully through the quarter pole, the Godolphin
homebred was cut loose in the stretch, and flew down the lanein complete command, winning by a gaudy margin while well in
hand under Florent Geroux. Longshot Justifreak (Justify) was
second, while Resilience (Into Mischief) rounded out thetrifecta. The favorite came home fifth.
Sent off the 8-5 choice in his career debut at Keeneland Oct. 7,
Nash came home fifth behind 5-1 chance Booth (Mitole) in thesix furlong event. He had been working steadily over thissurface, including a pair of :49 flat moves Oct. 28 (40/95) andNov. 4 (41/96).
Out of three-time graded winner Sara Louise, the winner is ahalf to Sara Street (Street Sense), GSP, $216,100. Sara Louise isalso responsible for Mrs. Hudson (Street Cry {Ire}), dam of SW
Airosa (Uncle Mo) and Coronation Street (Street Cry), dam of
GSW Kalik (Collected). Subsequent to Sunday's Rising Star, themare produced a colt by Street Sense in 2022 and was bred backto Nyquist this season.

Big Everest | Chelsea DurandMasen went to the front from Post 8, leading through opening
fractions of :23.22 and :47.53 while Big Everest bided his time ina rail-skimming third with Exact Estimate and St Anthony (Noble
Mission {GB}) in pursuit just to his outside. With Exact Estimate
starting to turn the screws on the frontrunner, and St Anthony
beginning his retreat turning for home, Big Everest found the
daylight he so desperately need in early stretch, wore down
Masen in the final sixteenth and had enough in the tank to holdoff Exact Estimate by 3/4 of a length. It was another 3/4 of alength back to Masen, who nosed out the late-running
Pioneering Spirit (American Pharoah).
AIn the paddock, I told [winning rider] Joel [Rosario], >If theyleave you alone, great. If they take you on, it=s OK,=@ trainer
Christophe Clement said. AHe=s been on the lead but it=s not likehe has to be on the lead. If you look back at the races where he
was on the lead, he was never going that fast. But if there=s nopace, he=s a perfect horse to dictate his own pace. He=s a touchstrong and Joel gave a great ride.@
Big Everest kicked off a four-race winning skein in an optional
claimer at the Belmont at the Big A meet in 2022 before adding
a score in this event last November. Back on top in the Danger's
Hour S. in his seasonal return at this venue, the gelding added a
win in Monmouth's Cliffhanger S. in May before coming home
fifth in the GIII Kelso S. at Saratoga July 15. Returned to
Monmouth for the Aug. 13 Oceanport S. for his latest, the5-year-old tired late to be fourth behind Highestdistinction(Point of Entry), who returned two win his next two, including
the GIII Baltimore/Washington International Turf Cup S. In
regard to a possible next start, Clement added, AI spoke to Joel
about it and a mile and an eighth is really pushing it. I wish there
was a nice mile race somewhere, but I haven=t found it so far.
We may just give him a break and come back later on.@ Click for

choice here, the bay struck the front and carved out some morethan honest fractions of :22.91 for the first quarter and :45.39 at
the half. The hooded filly shook loose at the top of the lane andcruised home to collect her first trophy at the seaside oval.
"She broke sharp and Antonio [Fresu] put her on the lead likewe thought we'd be and it worked out perfect for us,@ said

and capped that with a victory in the Canadian-bred Clarendon

took nine months off before taking to the turf for the first time
to finish eighth against optional claimers in Toronto Oct. 15. A 71 shot here, the gelding rated to the outside in third up thebackstretch. Taking aim at the leaders around the far turn-which included his stablemate owned by Gary Barber La Belleza

fourth-place finish and then a second last out a month back at
Santa Anita. After the clean break, the gray filly stalked the earlypace and rated comfortably a handful of lengths back and to theoutside of the front-running Elegant (Omaha Beach) around thefirst turn and up the backstretch. As the early leader made her
way into the far bend with a nearly 10-length advantage andafter posting a half-mile in a quick :45.18, Great Forty Eight was
rallying at the same time as Flynn's Chance (Medaglia d'Oro) to
her inside. With the early leader retreating midway on the bend,
the pair closed with a rush approaching the quarter pole, theedged ahead of Flynn's Chance and continued on gamely to thewire to earn the 1 3/4-length win over a fast-closing Nafisa(Quality Road) at odds of 9-1. She is the second foal out of her

60 MINUTES ON RACING: REACTIONSSalve Regina with Simon Minch at Gestut Hony-Hof | Franke Sorge

By Emma Berry
There will, rightly, be much attention paid to the Niarchos
draft at the Goffs November Sale as the family operation
undergoes restructuring, but there is one boutique dispersal
which also deserves proper perusal.
Manfred and Edith Hellwig of German-based Gestut Hony-Hofbring 11 mares and nine foals to market though the Castlebridge
Consignment, many of whom offer access to one of the best
German families of recent decades.
In 2000, the Hellwigs bought from Gestut Karlshof a yearling
filly by Monsun (Ger), a full-sister to that year's G1 Deutsches
Derby winner Samum (Ger), who would later be named Salve
Regina (Ger) and go on to claim her own Classic laurels in the G1Preis der Diana. The family's place in German bloodstock history
has been even more deeply carved since then. In 2006, anotherfull-brother, Schiaparelli (Ger), brought a second Deutsches
Derby home, and while their sister Sanwa (Ger) didn't make it to
the track herself, she atoned for that by producing yet another
Derby winner, Sea The Moon (Ger) (Sea The Stars {Ire}).

BOWDITCH BULLISH ABOUT GOLD COAST SALE

An increase of 189 offerings year on year has ensured the 2024
Magic Millions Gold Coast Yearling Sale will be the biggest in the auction
house's history.

TDN EUROPE • PAGE 3 OF 14 • THETDN.COM

Hony-Hof, cont. from p1
Salve Regina herself has established a dynasty at Hony-Hof,
the central German farm "close to nowhere", which includes the
GII Ballston Spa H. winner Salve Germania (Ger) (Peintre
Celebre), whose full-sister Salve Haya (Ire) is catalogued as Lot
1148. Six of the 11 mares to be offered at Goffs are Salve
Regina's descendants, as are four of the foals.
"That whole family has been so good to us, and also to
Karlshof," says Simon Minch, the longstanding manager ofGestut Hony-Hof. "The number of group runners they've
brought out of it and black-type horses, it's like a gift that keeps
on giving. It's a family that just doesn't seem to go out offashion."He adds, "The one thing you have to say about that family isthat it gets good, honest, tough horses. They don't wilt easily,
they normally go on and have good, long careers to them. You
know, the rarely-see-a-vet type."
Leading the draft of mares on the Friday of the sale is Sea The
Sunrise (Ger) (Lot 1139), a Sea The Stars granddaughter of Salve
Regina offered in foal to Gleneagles (Ire), and her weanling filly
by Arizona (Ire) will be sold as Lot 525 on the Tuesday.
Minch continues, "A lot of that family aren't that big are very,
very good. Like Salve Regina herself."

MONDAY • 13 NOVEMBER 2023

"She was the height of the average coffee table. Same with thedam of Sea The Moon, she was even smaller. Salve Del Rio was a
two-year-old winner for us, and he was fourth in the German
Derby, and third in a Group 2. He was barely 15 hands, but hewas as tough as nails.
"And Sea the Sunrise, she's also an interesting outcross as well.
She's a lovely mare and she's got a lot of potential to her. You'rebuying a lot of good stallion stuff in there." Cont.

It's not all about the Salve Regina clan in the Hony-Hof draft
though. For a start, the horse that has brought the farm themost acclaim in recent years is the G1 Prix du Cadran winner
Princess Zoe (Ger) (Jukebox Jury {Ire}). She too isn't that big andis as tough as they come, but she's from a different family
altogether.
Her half-sister Palace Girl (GB) (Areion {Ger}) sells as Lot 1142

and is in foal to Churchill (Ire) with a yearling by Adlerflug (Ger)on the ground. Her filly foal by Isfahan (Ger) is Lot 524.
Then there's the German champion two-year-old, Ocean
Fantasy (Fr) (Make Believe {GB}), a rare foal purchase by thestud who went on to win the G3 Preis der Winterkonigin andfinish placed in the G2 Diana Trial. Selling as Lot 1141, she is in
foal to Lope De Vega (Ire) while her filly foal from the first cropof St Marks's Basilica (Fr) could bring some interest late in the
day on Tuesday as the final lot in the ring (532). Her dam's
half-sister La Mehana (Fr) (Al Wukair {Ire}) is a treble Listed
winner who was placed in the G1 Prix de Royallieu since thecatalogue was printed.
"There's another very interesting family we have though, thatshouldn't be overlooked," says Minch. "It's been my pet project,
and that's Wish You Well and Westfalica family."Those two named mares (Lots 1140 and 1149), by Soldier
Hollow (GB) and Areion (Ger) respectively, are both
great-granddaughters of the Oaks winner Jet Ski Lady (Vaguely
Noble).
He continues, "We decided to go a different direction with thatfamily. To go back to 1,600, 1,400-metre horses, with One Cool
Cat and Areion and things like that. And the bit of speed back on
it has paid dividends, and it has started giving black type for us
again." Cont.

TDN EUROPE • PAGE 5 OF 14 • THETDN.COM"Westfalica's two-year-old [Wikinger] won the big i200,000
sales race in Baden-Baden. So that was pleasing, and also fromthat family is Words Of Peace, who was fourth in theWinterkonigin, the top two-year-old race for fillies in Germany.
"So that's coming alive again, and then Wish You Well is alisted winner herself and her first foal by Caravaggio had one
start and ran a grand race to be second. But interestingly thewinner came out from that and won the sales race down in
Munich recently. So the form of that race is looking pretty solid.
They're both very young mares with plenty going for them.
Westfalica has a foal by Sioux Nation and Wish You Well has a
Starspangledbanner filly."
The advancing age of the Hellwigs, who have had broodmaresfor 35 years, has prompted the dispersal of the operation which
has been conducted in the true tradition of owner-breeders.
"Everything was bred for their own racing stable," Minch
explains. "It was only in the last one or two years we started
selling a couple because we kind of knew it was coming to theend, but unfortunately it's come a bit quicker than anyone
expected or wished for.
"They started off in North Germany and they were having a bitof fun, a hobby really, with a cattle farm and a few
broodmares," says Minch, who has managed Hony-Hof since2005. "And then Salve Regina who won the Oaks for them. Mr
Hellwig wanted to sell her, because of course there were offers,
but Mrs Hellwig basically put her foot down and said, 'No, we'regoing to start breeding properly now.' They bought Gestot
Hony-Hof in the late nineties."
The 11 mares going to sale represents the largest number thefarm has ever had at one time. The mares have been in Ireland
to foal at Joe Hernon's Castletown Stud and have remained
there in anticipation of their sales date.
"I'm very grateful to Joe, who I've known for years since I
worked at Castle Hyde Stud, and to everyone at Goffs for their
help in arranging everything," Minch says. "And Theresa Lotz has
been working here at Hony-Hof since she was 18. She did herapprenticeship with us and then she stayed on for the last 12
years. She's been absolutely magnificent in the amount of work
she's put in. The whole operation just wouldn't run without
Theresa."
There will be poignant days for himself, too, as the sale gets
underway.
Minch says, "People have asked me, 'what are you going to doafter the last mare goes to the ring?' And I said, 'I'm going to go
down to the bar and have a double whiskey.' That's what I'll
probably do. It's going to be an emotional moment, but we've
known it's been coming for a year now and our job is to get thisdone and organised for the Hellwigs with the best possible result
for them."

Wonderful Boy, cont. from p1
AI was hoping to be placed and am a bit surprised just how wellhe ran,@ said winning rider Andrasch Starke. AHe worked wellenough at home, but not to suggest this kind of performance.
He is still developing and, on this heavy going, he ran like a really
good horse. He was quite keen in the early stages, but thensettled well and eventually responded beautifully. I always
thought he was a horse for next year and I think we can reallylook forward to 2024 with him.@

It was a stakes double for Lord Kanaloa (Jpn) on Sunday, as Ho
O Emmy=s (Jpn) won the G3 Fukushima Kinen, and Brede Weg(Jpn) became his latest Group 1 winner with a victory in the
Queen Elizabeth Cup in Kyoto. She is the first 3-year-old filly to
win the race since Mozu Katchan (Jpn) (Harbingers {GB}) in
2017, and also became the QEC victress with the fewest starts
with five.
Despite the presence of last year=s winner Geraldina (Jpn)(Maurice {Jpn}), the Sunday Racing 3-year-old garneredfavouritism at 7-5 in her first start beyond 2000 metres. Hoppingat the start, Brede Wag perched next to the fence as Art House(Jpn) (Screen Hero {Jpn}) carved out fractions of :49 for the first
800 metres and 1:37.50 for the 1600 metres while pressed byRoselite (Jpn) (Kizuna {Jpn}).

Brede Weg | Japan Racing Association

Like the winner, Geraldina was not cleanly away from thestalls, but unlike Brede Weg=s small hop, she attempted tokickstart her career over jumps, catching a fair bit of air. As aresult, the intended frontrunner was instead briefly last and
Ryan Moore had his hands full as she was three deep into thefirst turn. By the 600-metre mark she was just behind Brede
Weg=s, but several paths deeper into the course.
Brede Weg came off the fence for her run entering thestraight, but treaded water for a bit before shifting gears. By the
200-metre mark she had dead aim on Art House, with Harper(Jpn) (Heart=s Cry {Jpn}) also rallying strongly on her outside.

TDN EUROPE • PAGE 12 OF 14 • THETDN.COM

Rouge Eveil (Jpn) (Just A Way {Jpn}) also flashed homestrongly up the inside as the wire neared. At the line it was
Brede Weg by three-quarters of a length over Rouge Eveil, who
was a neck to the good of Harper. Geraldina=s run flattened lateand she ran on to be fifth, a half-length behind Lilac (Jpn)(Orfevre {Jpn}).
AI was a bit worried about the soft ground but it was noproblem for her,@ said pilot Christophe Lemaire. AWe couldn=t
break well but were able to travel in good position behind
Harper. She was calm, responded well throughout the race andpulled away strongly with her explosive kick.@
Second on debut last August, she graduated by six lengths at
Tokyo in February and added another victory, this time over2000 metres, at that venue in June. Brede Weg was runner-up in
the G2 Rose S. at Hanshin in September.

Pedigree Notes
Brede Weg is the 46th stakes winner and 32nd group winner
for her sire, who stands at Shadai Stallion Station. She is also his
ninth top-level scorer and one of four Group 1 winners by theson of King Kamehameha (Jpn) out of mares by Sunday Silenceor one of his sons.
Inner Urge missed to Lord Kanaloa for 2021, but currently has
a Saturnalia (Jpn) yearling filly and foaled a colt by Harbinger thisterm. Inner Urge is also a full-sister to the Japanese Champion 3Year-Old Filly Mikki Queen (Jpn) (Deep Impact {Jpn}), who won
both the G1 Yushun Himba and G1 Shuka Sho.
The winner=s second dam is the well-traveled Musical Way (Fr)(Gold Away {Ire}), who won a brace of French group races andwas also placed in two editions of the G1 Premio Lydia Tesio as
well as the 2007 G1 Hong Kong Cup. Musical Way brought
300,000gns from Katsumi Yoshida out of the Tattersalls

"THE BEST CATALOGUE WE HAVE PUT
TOGETHER"--BOWDITCH BULLISH ABOUTJANUARY by TTR AusNZ
An increase of 189 offerings year on year has ensured that the2024 Magic Millions Gold Coast Yearling Sale will be the biggest
in the auction house=s history.

Barry Bowditch | Magic Millions

With the catalogue featuring half or full relations to the likes of
Griff (Trapeze Artist), Attrition (Churchill {Ire}) and Imperatriz (IAm Invincible), all of whom have won Group 1 races in the pastmonth, there is plenty for buyers to get excited about this year.
No less than 20 yearlings fetched seven-figure sums in 2023,
spearheaded by the auction-record $2.7 million spent by
Coolmore=s Tom Magnier to secure the first foal out of themultiple Group 2-winning juvenile Anaheed (Fastnet Rock).
With a record 1020 lots in Book 1 for 2024, Barry Bowditch is
hopeful that there will be plenty more fireworks at this year=s
Magic Millions Gold Coast Yearling Sale, especially in light of therecent slew of major race wins from past graduates.
AWe have been overwhelmed with support, which I guess is off
the back of some outstanding results out of the sale for vendors
in recent years,@ Bowditch told TTR AusNZ. AWe have an
extraordinary line of graduates at the moment, you=ve only got
to look at Imperatriz, Militarize, Ozzmosis, In Secret. These aresome of Australia=s most elite racehorses, and the sale that is
consistently providing stars on the racetrack more than any
other in our part of the world is the January sale."
AThis year, to be able to have a bigger Book 1 than ever and ahuge increase in Book 2 numbers as well, is a reflection of wherethe vendors think they have been getting rewarded in the sales
ring. AIt=ll be our job now that they have promised us morehorses to ensure we have a buying bench that credits the horses
they have given us to sell.@MONDAY • 13 NOVEMBER 2023

Just some of the many standouts from a pedigree perspective
include the first foal out of $3.2 million broodmare purchase
Arcadia Queen (Pierro), a colt by reigning Champion Sire I Am
Invincible, who will be offered by Arrowfield Stud as Lot 442.
Another multiple Group 1-winning mare set to have her first foal
pass through the ring is Avantage (Fastnet Rock), whose filly by
Wootton Bassett (GB) will be offered shortly after by Coolmore
as Lot 454.
The full siblings to Group 1 winners will be spearheaded by thesister to this year=s G1 Lightning S. heroine Coolangatta (Written
Tycoon), who will be offered as Lot 47 by Milburn Creek, and thesister to fellow multiple Group 1-winning mare In Secret (I Am
Invincible), who will be offered by Segenhoe Stud as Lot 623.
Other highlights among Segenhoe=s star-studded draft, which
produced last year=s $2.7 million sale-topper, include thethree-quarter brother to dual Group 1-winning 2-year-old and
now Coolmore stallion King=s Legacy, who has 43 of his first-crop
yearlings catalogued for sale, the most of any freshman sire.
For those looking to secure some of the more precocious
offerings on the Gold Coast, the half-sister to Espionage(Zoustar) and the half-brother to Bodyguard (I Am Invincible),both of whom were purchased for seven figures by James
Harron at last year=s sale and have already won 2-year-old
stakes races this season, are sure to prove popular.
The half-sister to Espionage is by Snitzel and will be offered forsale as Lot 786 by Baramul Stud, while the half-brother toBodyguard is by Capitalist and will be offered by Emirates Park
as Lot 316.
There will also be half-relations to some of the stars of thisyear=s spring in the shape of Saturday=s G1 Darley Champions
Sprint heroine Imperatriz (I Am Invincible), The Everest winner
Think About It (So You Think {NZ}) and G1 Caulfield Guineas hero
Griff (Trapeze Artist).

Jewels In The Crown
Bowditch was at pains to single out any particular yearlingfrom the vast array of regally bred offerings, which isunderstandable given the depth of quality set to go under thehammer during the seven days of selling on the Gold Coast.

winner in Europe Warm Heart (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}), the latter ofwhich will be the first foal out of three-time Group 1 heroine
Sea Siren (Fastnet Rock) to be offered for sale in Australia.
Other lots sure to command plenty of interest include theExtreme Choice half-sister to King=s Gambit (I Am Invincible),

AWe=re excited to get our vendors and buyers to the Gold Coastand provide them with a great market to sell and buy upon, andto do it in such a beautiful place as the Gold Coast, where we=regoing to have a lot of fun along the way, is very exciting."
AThe quality of the horse we get here sets the tone, the raceseries is a huge component and then there is the depth anddiversity--there is no sale that has that depth like the January
