WITH $3M INTO MISCHIEF
TOPPER, KEENELANDSEPTEMBER SIZZLES FROMSTART TO FINISH TUESDAYHISA: NO SPECIFIC CAUSE FOR CHURCHILL
DEATHS; 'ALL HANDS ON DECK' PROTOCOLSIN PIPELINE by T.D. Thornton
A months-long investigation by the Horseracing Integrity and
Safety Authority (HISA) has determined that there was no
specific cause for the 12 equine fatalities that occurred at
Churchill Downs this past spring.
The detailed study released Sept. 12, however, has yielded a
newly created "strategic response plan" that HISA believes "willeither contribute meaningfully to the reduction of equine
fatalities or allow further study and analysis for future
implementation if confirmed by the data."

Brian Graves & Tom Ryan | Keeneland
In all, 221 yearlings sold during Book 1 this year for a total of$116,925,000. During last year's Book 1 section, 220 yearlings
grossed $113,660,000 as the auction was well on its way torecording its first-ever gross over $400,000,000.
AGoing in, I didn't think it would be fair for us to expect that we
could replicate last year,@ said Keeneland Vice President of Sales
Tony Lacy. ABut I think when you look at the numbers--obviously

WEDNESDAY • SEPTEMBER 13, 2023

the median is down a little, the average is up a little bit--but
overall the fact that the gross is up over $3.5 million from lastyear is incredible. When you look at the numbers through thering that got sold, it's very, very comparable.@
The Book 1 average of $529,072 is up 2.41% from a year ago,
while the median dipped 11.11% to $400,000.
From a catalogue of 383 yearlings, 302 went through the ringwith 81 failing to meet their reserves for a buy-back rate of
26.82%. It was 21.99% a year ago.
AA lot of people don't have to sell,@ Lacy said. AWhen you havea purse structure and people are enjoying it so much, they are
happy to race.@
Gainesway was the book's leading consignor with 29 horses
sold for $20,920,000. The farm sold eight of the book's 23
million-dollar yearlings, with five coming from Mandy Pope's
Whisper Hill Farm broodmare band.
AWe had high expectations coming in,@ Gainesway's Brian
Graves said. AI wasn't sure we had as many million-dollar horses
to sell as we actually did. The market proved to be really strong.
But we knew we had a really good group of horses for ourclients. The market is alive and well.@Mike Repole continued to lead all buyers at the auction. On his
own, the New Yorker purchased 21 yearlings for $8,135,000,
while in partnership with Spendthrift Partners, he acquired an

TDN HEADLINE NEWS • PAGE 4 OF 26 • THETDN.COM

additional two yearlings for $1.2 million.
In addition to his activity buying, Repole also bred and sold thesection's $3-million topper through the Lane's End consignment.
Into Mischief continued to dominate the top of the market.
The Spendthrift stallion had 11 seven-figure yearlings and a totalof 31 head grossing $27,910,000. Coolmore's Uncle Mo, withfour seven-figure yearlings, had 17 Book 1 horses sell for$12,495,000. The duo were represented by nine of the book's
top 10 yearlings.
The Keeneland September sale continues with Book 2 sessions
Wednesday and Thursday beginning at 11 a.m. Following a dark
day Friday, the auction continues through Sept. 23 with sessions
beginning daily at 10 a.m.

$3M Into Mischief Colt Heads Day 2

Hip 261 Into Mischief--Nonna Mia colt | ThoroStride
Continuing to underscore the sheer sire power of Into Mischiefon this year's yearling market, Hip 261, a colt by the Spendthrift
sire out GISP Nonna Mia (Empire Maker) landed a $3-million
final bid from the partnership of West Point Thoroughbreds,
Woodford Racing and Chuck Sonson.
AThis is a beautiful colt. This is a young family [and] with Into
Mischief, you don't have to say much. He was always in thehands of Lane's End, so we knew a little about his upbringing,@
said Terry Finley, who handled the signing duties from inside thepavilion. AWe are really excited and have a new group ofpartners who are in on him. We will try to get to the Derby in2025.@Of the session-topping yearling, Finley added, AI thought he'dbring a significant amount of money. You never know. After theybring $1.5-$2 million, you never really know where you're goingto stop. I was just glad that we got to a point where I thought it
was a 'reasonable' amount of money, if you can in fact call $3
million reasonable for a racehorse that has never had a saddle

Stewart Strikes for Uncle Mo Filly

Hip 337 Uncle Mo--Starship Warpspeed filly | ThoroStride
John Stewart, who made a big splash during Monday's firstsession of the Keeneland September sale, took his biggest swingof the week when going to $2.5 million to acquire a filly by Uncle
Mo (hip 337). While Stewart was at the sale in person during thefirst session, he left bidding Tuesday to agent Gavin O'Connor
and farm manager Chelsey Stone.

WEDNESDAY • SEPTEMBER 13, 2023

AShe's an unbelievable filly,@ O'Connor said after signing theticket on the yearling who was consigned by Denali Stud asagent for breeder, WinStar Farm. AUncle Mo is the sire ofincredible fillies.@
The yearling is out of Starship Warpspeed (Congrats) and is a
half-sister to GI Kentucky Oaks winner Shedaresthedevil(Daredevil).
AI know the family personally,@ O'Connor said. AI used to work
for WinStar. I spent five years under Dave [Hanley] and Elliott[Walden]. So I have had babies out of the mare. They have a fullbrother in training and he looks very promising as well.@O'Connor, who was on the phone with Stewart during thebidding, admitted they had to stretch to get the filly.
AIt was a little bit more than we wanted to go, but like we've
said, John is a buyer,@ he said. AI thought we were going to haveher at $2.2 there, and then it went 3, 4, 5, and I thought, 'How
far can we go here?'@He added, AShe's just an unbelievable broodmare prospect.
She's an incredible filly. And the residual value is there. We justfeel we have a safe asset at that price.@
Stewart purchased 10 yearlings during Book 1 for a total of$7,750,000. In addition to his $2.5-million acquisition, theLexington financier also paid $1 million for a colt by Into
Mischief (hip 147), a colt by Constitution (hip 135) for $850,000

Into Mischief Colt Rewards St George Team
Archie and Michelle St George, along with pinhooking partners
Tony and Roger O'Callaghan of Tally-Ho Stud, hit a home run
Tuesday at Keeneland when selling a colt by Into Mischief (hip283) for $1.8 million to Coolmore's M.V. Magnier. The team had
acquired the dark bay for $550,000 at last year's Keeneland
November sale.
AI=m kind of speechless at the moment,@ Archie St George
admitted as Magnier signed the ticket on the yearling. AWe=rejust very fortunate to have a horse as good as him. It's a hugeteam effort, with everyone at home, Roger and his dad and mywife Michelle and all the lads. A lot of work has gone into thehorse and this is a huge thrill.@
The yearling is out of Princess Haya (Street Cry {Ire}) and is a
half-brother to stakes winner and Grade I placed Lady Kate
(Bernardini).
Asked about the nerves associated with buying a pinhook
prospect for $550,000, St George said, AIt=s nerve-wracking, but
it=s high risk-high reward. It=s the quality of the horse. It=s a hugeteam effort. I=d like to thank Coolmore and their partners andArthur St George | Keenelandwish them the best of luck.@
Magnier, who purchased a son of Uncle Mo for $1.35 million
Monday, was making his second purchase of the Keeneland sale.
Magnier later added a $1.25-million Gun Runner colt late in thesession.
AHe is a very good mover and Into Mischief is a very good sireand [his son] Practical Joke is doing really well [as a sire] at the
moment,@ Magnier said of hip 283. @JessMartiniTDN

Sentimental Score

Bret Jones | Keeneland
Offering a small but select group of yearlings in this year's
Book 1, Airdrie Stud once again showed quality over quantity
often wins the day when it comes to the sales. Underscoringthat point this week, Hip 344, a colt by Not This Time, drew a

WEDNESDAY • SEPTEMBER 13, 2023

tidy $1.35 million final bid from Jacob West, who was bidding on
behalf of Robert and Lawana Low. Over the course of two days,
Airdrie sold all three of the yearlings it offered, amassing$2,475,000 in gross receipts while averaging $825,000. Airdriealso sold a Nyquist filly (Hip 31) for $750,000 on Day 1 and a$375,000 colt (Hip 356) by Complexity Tuesday.
After selling its priciest yearling so far this season, Airdrie's
Bret Jones, who also bred the colt, said, ASpecial is the right
word. A little overwhelming. I=m feeling a little sentimental rightnow, thinking about dad [Brereton C. Jones] and thinking how
many memories we get from these great horses, these horse
sales, horse races.@
The Mar. 8 foal is out of Street Mate (Street Cry {Ire}), dam ofGrade I winner Bell's The One (Majesticperfection) and GSW
King Cause (Creative Cause). The 15-year-old mare, who was a$35,000 purchase at Keeneland November in 2012, is a halfsister to GSW and GISP Tap Day (Pleasant Tap)
Jones continued, AThe colt has always been beautiful. He is by
the right stallion. And the mare has been incredible to us. It=s areally special family. He has always lived up to that family. He isjust so good looking and makes you think he can be a special
horse on the racetrack. The horse vetted perfectly clean which isalways nice.@
When asked about the reserve, Jones didn't miss a beat.

The name Into Mischief seemed to be on nearly everyone's lips

yearlings realizing $2,980,000, yielding a robust $596,000
average on Day 2. Leading the fray Tuesday was Hip 324, a bay
colt who realized a $1.3 million final bid from Larry Best's OXO
Equine. The purchase was Best's sole purchase on theafternoon.
AI thought he was one of the best colts in the sale,@ said Best. AI
paid more than I would want to. This particular auction I=ve
never seen one quite this strong. I knew he was going be around$1 million to get him. But he=s a beautiful specimen of aConstitution. He looks very racey, very athletic.@
Bred by Kindred Stables, the Mar. 26 foal was consigned byIndian Creek. The bay is out of the unraced Solo Uno (Medaglia

Ready).
AWhen you buy colts it=s a high risk game,@ Best said. AAnd
when you saw some of the other colts that I liked in the salethey went for $2-million plus. There is only so much money I

Serengeti Empress's First Foal in Demand
The first foal out of GI Kentucky Oaks winner Serengeti
Empress (Alternation), a son of the omnipresent Into Mischief,
was scooped up by the partnership of WinStar Farm's Maverick
Racing, Siena Farm and CHC, Inc. for $1.2 million Tuesday at
Keeneland.
AIf he didn't break his ribs as a foal, he might have topped thesale,@ said WinStar Farm's Elliott Walden. AWe saw him on thefarm and David [Hanley] and I both loved him. He's out of an
Oaks winner on a Distorted Humor cross. Hopefully he can dosome great things on the racetrack.@
Serengeti Empress was one of the first yearlings Joel Politi
purchased when he decided to purchase young fillies with thegoal of raising his own broodmare band from scratch. Politi andtrainer Todd Amoss purchased the future Oaks winner for$70,000 at the 2017 Keeneland September sale.
After watching the mare's first foal go through the ring
Tuesday, Politi admitted, AIt was emotional watching him go
through the ring. I had a lot of second thoughts in the back ring.
I was thinking, 'My goodness, he is so good-looking.' But we set
a price that we would be ok with him moving on. I am being
practical about the whole thing. So you can't argue with it really.
He's going to a great place. WinStar is a first-class operation.

acquired a racing prospect in a $1.2-million daughter of Into
Mischief (hip 316). Also partnering on the yearling is John
Bellinger and Brian Coelho's BC Stables.
Bred and consigned by Gainesway, the gray filly is out of Silver
Colors (Mr. Greeley) and is a half to GI Alabama S. winnerEskimo Kisses (To Honor and Serve) and a granddaughter of GI
Kentucky Derby winner Winning Colors.
AFor us, she was the pick filly of this book,@ Hartley said. AIt's
just such a great female family and we just felt like if we put
enough guys together, we could get her. To have a half-sister toa Grade I Alabama winner and the grandmother a Kentucky
Derby winner, you just don't get those pedigrees that often. So
she was a filly we thought we really needed to have in the barn.@
A Miami music titan, Mendez has been on both sides of sevenfigure transactions this year. He purchased an Into Mischief colt
for $1.3 million at the OBS April Sale. Now named Urban Legend,
the juvenile is in training out west with Bob Baffert. Mendez was
also involved in seven-figure pinhooks with Hartley/DeRenzo at
the Fasig-Tipton Midlantic May sale and at last month's FasigTipton Saratoga sale.

Asked if the purchase of this well-bred filly indicated Mendez
would consider getting into the breeding side of the business,
Hartley said, AWe are thinking about it for sure. This would
obviously be one you'd want in your barn. My favorite saying isblack cats have black kittens and she's a beautiful filly, so I think
she would definitely have beautiful babies. It was just a pedigree
that you very rarely get and we felt like we really had to stretch
to get her. But we were taking her home.@ @JessMartiniTDN

All Into Mischief, All The Time
Continuing the feeding frenzy for colts, specifically those by
Into Mischief, a son of the Spendthrift sire joined themillionaire's club when reeling in a $1.2-million final bid fromTeam Coolmore at Keeneland Tuesday. Led by M.V. Magnier,the group held their customary spot out back, picking up theirfourth purchase, also the fourth seven-figure buy, of Book 1.
Offered as Hip 331, the flashy grey was consigned by Machmer
Hall, who also bred the colt.
AI'm overwhelmed,@ said Carrie Brogden, standing alongside
her mother, Sandy Fubini. AI had no idea he was going to bringthat much money. Personally, that is our most expensive

said. AWe have a Twirling Candy filly for 2023 and it'll be a harddecision whether she comes up here or not because we can buy
a lot of new broodmares for a million dollars. She is tough as
nails. She is in foal to Flightline right now, but we might have tosend her back to Into Mischief after this.@Armed with both top-class runners on both the dirt and turf,
Brogden admitted she doesn't see any limitations to what thiscolt will be able to do.
AI wouldn't be surprised if he is a great dirt horse or if he is agreat turf horse,@ she said.
Seeming to have the knack for coming up with pricey sales
prospects out of inexpensive mares, Brogden explained
Machmer Hall's overall breeding philosophy.
AWe just try to go with the families we like and understandwhat we can afford,@ she explained. AFor example, I bought
Stonetastic's daughter for $400,000 because I can afford that. I
can't afford Stonetastic even though we bred her. You have toknow the families you are dealing with.@

While the Machmer Hall team can credit hard work,commitment and diligence to much of their success, Brogden isquick to point out that sometimes the intangibles can also comeinto play.

Volatile Filly Sparks Three Chimneys' Day
Three Chimneys Farm, which hit it out of the park with the
fast-starting stallion career of Gun Runner, could have anotherstallion success in the making after a first-crop daughter ofVolatile (hip 215) sold for $1.15 million to the bid of Mike
Rutherford Tuesday at Keeneland.
AI don't think you could write it out any better than to have a$1.15-million filly in the first crop, but those are the kind of
mares that we bred to him,@ said Three Chimneys' Chris Baker.
AThat's the kind of confidence that we have in him.@
The filly, consigned by Taylor Made Sales Agency, was bred byThree Chimneys and is out of multiple Grade I winner Love andPride (A.P. Indy).

Of the stallion's first seven-figure yearling, Baker said, AWith ahorse that started at his initial stud fee, it is a pleasant surprise-it's not shocking, but it's a pleasant surprise.@Three Chimneys came right back with another seven-figure
yearling when a colt by Into Mischief (hip 218), co-bred withMandy Pope's Whisper Hill Farm, sold for $1.1 million to the

Consigned by Gainesway, the yearling is out of Magical World(Distorted Humor) and is a half-brother to multiple Grade I
winner Guarana (Ghostzapper). Guarana's Into Mischief colt soldfor $1.4 million during Monday's first session of the September
sale.

Gun Runner Filly to Speedway

Hip 222 Gun Runner--Mama Yay filly | ThoroStride
Marette Farrell, bidding on behalf of Peter Fluor and K.C.
Weiner's Speedway Stable, went to $1.2 million to acquire a filly
by Gun Runner (hip 222) from Jody and Michelle Huckabay's Elm
Tree Farm consignment. The Huckabays were selling theyoungster on behalf of Dell Ennis, who purchased the filly for$625,000 at last year's Fasig-Tipton November sale.
AShe is so athletic and so light on her feet and has an amazing

TDN HEADLINE NEWS • PAGE 16 OF 26 • THETDN.COM

demeanor,@ Farrell said. AI believe she is a runner and I hopePeter and K.C. are lucky with her.@
The bay is out of Mama Yay (Mineshaft), an unraced full-sister
to Dialed In and a half to Broadway Gold (Seeking the Gold). The
yearling is a half-sister to stakes winner Empire House (Empire
Maker).
AIt is a pedigree that Peter Fluor himself loved,@ Farrell said.
AWe now have three stallions--Collected, Roadster andCorniche--so we are trying to do things with a view towards
buying fillies [to breed to them]. We were the underbidder on
this filly when she sold as a weanling. So we followed her andsaw her here.@
Ennis said the filly's pedigree was what attracted him to her at
Fasig-Tipton last November.
AI loved her,@ Ennis said. AI loved the pedigree. I love Miss
Doolittle and I love Mama Yay.@
The filly was Ennis's lone pinhook of the year and the Virginian
admitted to some pre-sale jitters.
AI woke up at 2:22 this morning and couldn't sleep,@ he said.
AShe is so classy and confident in herself. You are going to bewriting about her again.@
Tuesday's seven-figure transaction was an emotional one forveteran horseman Jody Huckabay.
AI've been doing this for 35 years and this was my first million-

dollar horse,@ a visibly moved Huckabay said after watching thefilly sell. AWe thought she was a very, very good filly andobviously a lot of people thought she was nice. But you neverknow.@
Huckabay and Ennis were enjoying their first collaboration at
the Keeneland sale.
ADell bought this filly and called me and said, 'I hear you raise agood horse,' and he sent her to me. I met him yesterday [for the
first time]. So I didn't know him. But things worked out. It's avery exciting day.@Of the decision to send the weanling to Elm Tree lastNovember, Ennis said, AI interviewed several farms and at thetime, [Huckabay] checked the boxes for us. He could take thefilly right from the sale, so he checked the boxes. I have a very
good rapport with several other farms in Kentucky and I love
them as well. Jody and Michelle are very hands on and they pay
attention to detail. And that's what it takes to get a horse in thatring from a weanling.@
This is not the first time the bay filly has rewarded herconnections in the sales ring. She was bred by Mark Erlandson,
who purchased Mama Yay for $20,000 at the 2020 Keeneland
November sale. Erlandson sent the Gun Runner filly through thesales ring at Fasig-Tipton last year through the New Hill Farmconsignment. @JessMartiniTDN

Into Mischief Continues Powerful Run Into
Day 2
Picking up where he left off Monday, Into Mischief wasrepresented by his first seven-figure yearling of the session
when Hip 218 reeled in $1.1 million from agent Donato Lanni.
Tom Ryan signed the ticket on behalf of prolific partnership of SF
Bloodstock, Starlight and Madaket.
AThere is no mystery about the stallion,@ Ryan said. AIt's a very
unique pedigree. Just a fantastic piece of paper. And it's rare you
have the opportunity to buy into that sort of bloodline. So we're
glad to be involved.@
According to Ryan, the colt will go to Hall of Fame trainer Bob
Baffert.
ADonato loved him and so did Bob. Our own team, John
Moynihan was involved too. We're excited to have him.@
Whisper Hill Farm and Three Chimneys Farm bred the colt in
partnership. The Apr. 20 foal is out of Magical World (Distorted
Humor), most notably the dam of GI Acorn S. winner Guarana(Ghostzapper). The colt is also half to SW Beatbox (Pioneerof theNile) and SW and GSP Magic Dance (More Than Ready). The
family includes GI Breeders' Cup Distaff winner Pleasant Home
(Seeking the Gold).
Following a lucrative streak, Mandy Pope's Whisper Hill, in
partnership with Three Chimneys Farm, extended to $5.2 million
to secure Magic World while carrying this foal at Fasig-Tipton
November in 2021. Last term, the partnership dipped into thefamily again to purchase Magical World's colt by Quality Road
for $1.1 million. Guarana herself was a $4.4-million purchase at
Fasig-Tipton November in 2021.
The family had its desirability in full display Monday when ason of Guarana, also by Into Mischief, brought $1.4 million.
During Tuesday's session, Lanni also secured Hip 207, a colt byInto Mischief out of Late Night Pow Wow (Fiber Sonde) for$900,000 and Hip 243, a colt by Justify ($625,000) for the same
partnership. --@CbossTDN

Seven-Figure Book 1 Parade for Pope
Mandy Pope, who has steadily been building a high-octane
broodmare band, reaped the benefits of her investments during
Book 1, selling five seven-figure yearlings over the two sessions.
Leading the way was a $1.7-million son of Into Mischief (hip162) who sold Monday. Pope got Tuesday's second session of
the auction off to a quick start when the first horse through thering, a daughter of Tapit (hip 202), sold for $1.3 million to theinternet bid of Sinandigan Stable. Also Tuesday, Pope, inpartnership with Three Chimneys Farm, sold a colt by Into
Mischief (hip 218) for $1.1 million to the SF/Starlight/Madaket
partnership; and a colt by Curlin out of champion Songbird (hipMandy Pope | Keeneland
325) for $1 million to Grandview Equine.
AIt's been a lot of hard working buying the right mares,@ Popesaid. AWe worked hard buying excellent race mares and trying to
reproduce them. This has been an awesome day for us.@
Asked how the results in the sales ring matched up to her
expectations, Pope said, AWe thought a couple of them would
sell that well. A couple of them were surprises for the better andTDN HEADLINE NEWS • PAGE 18 OF 26 • THETDN.COM

HISA/Churchill Deaths cont from p1
Speaking at a press conference that followed the release of
the investigation's findings, Lisa Lazarus, HISA's chief executive
officer, said, "This is, for certain, an 'all hands on deck' moment.
There's no one stakeholder that's responsible for the fatalities.
And so there's no one stakeholder who can take responsibility
for solving the issue. This is something that we have to do
together as an industry and move forwardY.
"Horses dying is not okay. No one in the industry thinks this isokay," Lazarus emphasized, noting that current efforts toeliminate equine fatalities have to be viewed against alonger-term backdrop.
"If you look historically, at kind of where we've been andwhere we are now, we have been making progress repeatedly
over the years. But we need to do better, and make moreprogress faster," Lazarus said.

TDN HEADLINE NEWS • PAGE 22 OF 26 • THETDN.COM

HISA found no significant cause for deaths at Churchill Downs | Coady

Although many of the proposed measures outlined in HISA's
strategic plan focus on veterinary protocols, track maintenance,
new safety rules, and the incorporation of data analytics tobetter predict and halt catastrophes before they occur, one
potential change that has direct implications for the bloodstockindustry stands out: Extending the scope of HISA's medication
oversight to Thoroughbred auctions.
"Many have questioned whether the industry would be better
served if anti-doping and medication control (ADMC) protocols
were consistent throughout the lifetime of a horse," stated
HISA's strategic plan. "For that reason, HISA has initiateddiscussions with sales companies, Fasig-Tipton, Keeneland, andOcala Breeders' Sales Company, toward the goal of entering into
voluntary agreements to more effectively align and coordinate
our respective ADMC programs throughout the lifetime of ahorse."
Lazarus explained that Thoroughbred auctions are currently agray area of HISA's oversight, but she hoped that a spirit ofcooperation might smooth over any gaps relating to how the
ADMC rules could be implemented at sales.
Lazarus noted that "a horse becomes a HISA [covered] horse
after it's had its first public workout, first timed workout. So
some of the 2-year-old sales would certainly fall under HISA's
purview. The weanlings and yearlings wouldn't. But I think we'reat the point where if HISA leads the way that we should, and theway that we intend to, that we'll be able to motivate theindustry to come under one kind of comprehensive,
understandable, kind of ADMC approach."
Another key proposal in the strategic plan is sure to ramp up
the already divisive debate over whether synthetic racing
surfaces should become more of a mainstay in American racing.
"Current available data suggests that artificial surfaces may besafer for horses than dirt or turf surfaces," the HISA strategic

WEDNESDAY • SEPTEMBER 13, 2023

response stated. "While additional research and analysis isnecessary to fully evaluate the potential impact of artificial
surfaces on overall equine injury rates, more synthetic surface
options should be introduced into Thoroughbred racing."
HISA has also proposed a new rule requiring a 30-day
stand-down time from racing and a 14-day stand-down timefrom workouts after a horse receives a corticosteroid
intra-articular injection into the fetlock joint.
In addition, HISA wants to see more oversight for these typesof injections, including the creation of a designated area at the
racetrack for intra-articular injections to be administered and/or
the requirement for veterinarians to record and upload a videoof the intra-articular injection being given along with thestandard injection report.
"Oaklawn Park has volunteered to implement the designatedtreatment area concept for their race meet beginning in
December 2023," the HISA strategic findings stated. "The pilot
program will be used to determine the feasibility and value of
this approach, as well as to identify challenges that would need
to be resolved for it to be successful."
Although HISA's investigation focused on the Churchill
fatalities that caused the track's corporate ownership toabandon the spring meet and move racing to Ellis Park in early
June while stabling and training continued at Churchill, thefindings also took into account other recent spates ofThoroughbred deaths at Saratoga Race Course and Laurel Park.
Lazarus said separate reports on the fatalities at those venues
would be forthcoming in the near future.
"The absence of a singular explanation for recent equine
fatalities at several racetracks across the country is extremely
frustrating for the entire sport of Thoroughbred racing, for fans
and the public, and also for HISA," the strategic plan stated.
"The fatalities at Churchill Downs, Laurel Park and Saratoga
Race Course identify a number of potential factors that warrant
implementation or further study and industry discussion," thestrategic plan stated. "The inevitable recognition that horse
fatalities are almost always multi-factorial means that the
response must similarly be multi-responsive."
Specific to Churchill, the findings report stated that "Theinvestigation concludes that there was no causal relationshipbetween the racetrack surface at Churchill Downs and theequine fatalities. Similarly, there was not a clear pattern inmedical histories or injury profiles across the fatalities that point
to a single, causal explanation for the fatalities. Nor were there
any medication violations present. However, analysis of training
histories did indicate an increased risk profile for some of thehorses due to the frequency and cadence of their exercise andracing schedules."The causes of the 12 Churchill fatalities were summarized inKEENELAND SEPTEMBER YEARLING SALE • PINHOOKING TABLE

the report as follows: One traumatic paddock injury; one
fracture sustained in training on the dirt track; two cases of
exercise-associated sudden death; two soft tissue injuries
sustained in racing on the dirt track; two fractures sustained in
racing on the turf track; four fractures sustained in racing on thedirt track.
"Of the seven horses with inoperable fractures, six involved
the metacarpal or metatarsal-phalangeal joint ('ankles' or'fetlocks')," the report stated. "Both soft tissue injuries involved
the distal sesamoidean ligament. The nine musculoskeletal
fatalities occurred in races ranging from maiden special weight
to claiming to graded stakes, and on dirt surfaces listed as fastand good, and on turf surfaces listed as firm.
"In other words, there was no discernible pattern," the report
summed up.
Asked if HISA might have preferred to have found glaring
evidence of what caused the deaths at Churchill, Lazarus
responded this way:
"Obviously, if you have one 'smoking gun,' one clear answer,
that's simpler. You can put all of your resources into dealing withthat one issue. That being said, I think the fact that it ismulti-factorial gives us an opportunity [as a] national regulator,
to say, 'We can't just kick the can down the road.' I think that's
the message of the strategic response, is that we're not kicking
the can down the road. This is a time where racetracks andhorsemen and breeders and consignors and sales companies,
we all have to get behind real change, [and] no stakeholder
group can decline to participate."
But the findings did note that in some cases, "procedural andinformation reporting deficiencies" by industry entities were
hampering HISA's safety efforts.
"HISA has not been reliably and consistently receiving fatality
notices or necropsy reports as outlined in Racetrack Safety Rules
2131(c)(7) and 2170(e) from many jurisdictions, including
Kentucky," the findings stated.
"In addition, the information and data contained in the
necropsy reports have not been sufficiently comprehensive toprovide all the information necessary for HISA Veterinarians to
conduct a thorough analysis," the report continued.
"Consequently, HISA experts in necropsy reporting have beenworking since the Churchill Downs fatalities with the relevant
necropsy laboratories to expand the information provided andclarify the reporting obligations under HISA's preemptive rules."With regard to timely injury reporting, the findings stated that"HISA is not currently receiving reports of 'all equine injuries andfatalitiesYwithin 72 hours of injury' as required by HISA
Racetrack Safety Rule 2131(c)(7). This is not limited to Kentucky
but must be rectified going forward to position HISA for
maximum effectiveness."

WEDNESDAY • SEPTEMBER 13, 2023

Lazarus underscored near the end of the press conference that
it is not HISA's job to be shutting down racetracks when clustersof equine fatalities occur.
"There's one permutation and nuance that may not beapparent to everyone," Lazarus said. "HISA's authority is not toshut down a racetrack. That [power is vested in each] state
racing commission. HISA's authority is to prevent a racetrack, if
they don't meet our accreditation standards, from running
covered horse races, which means they can't send out theirsignal for betting. We don't control whether or not they actually
run on a given day."IN A FIRST, FTC OVERTURNS HISA WHIPADJUDICATION by Dan Ross

The Federal Trade Commission overturned a decision by Horseracing
Integrity and Safety Act (HISA) on the whip rule | Sarah K. Andrew

In a decision handed down Monday, the Federal Trade
Commission (FTC) overturned a decision by Horseracing
Integrity and Safety Act (HISA) stewards at Albuquerque Downs
Racetrack last September who ruled that jockey Oscar Ceballos
had struck his mount, Sheriff Brown (Curlin), in the Downs At
Albuquerque H. five more times than the maximum six strikes
permitted by HISA.
The sanctions imposed by the Albuquerque Downs stewards
that day included a fine and suspension for the jockey, anddisqualification of the horse's purse earnings.
It is understood that this is the first such appeal of a HISA whip
adjudication both heard by the FTC and overturned by thegovernmental agency.
"This whole thing has been very frustrating because when you
actually read the written rules we did not violate any of thewritten rules," said Joseph Peacock Jr., Sheriff Brown's owner,
who estimated that the legal proceedings have cost him north of

TDN HEADLINE NEWS • PAGE 24 OF 26 • THETDN.COM$50,000 "and probably close" to $100,000.
"If we had lost at the FTC level appeal, [it] would have set avery dangerous precedent for riders going forward that you
can't use the crop to preserve the safety of other horses andriders without HISA counting the strikes against you," Peacock
added.
The three-person panel of stewards at Albuquerque Downs
Racetrack ruled on Sept. 25, 2022, that Ceballos had struck his
mount 11 times during the prior day's Downs At AlbuquerqueH., which Sheriff Brown won in a driving finish.
Deeming the alleged infraction a Class 2 violation under HISA's
rulebook, the stewards handed Ceballos a $2,160 fine, athree-day racing suspension, and issued him five HISA points.
The stewards also disqualified the horse from purse earnings.
The winner took home $108,000.
Ceballos and Peacock appealed the decision, which the HISA
Board heard on March 27. The following May, the HISA Board
affirmed the original stewards' decision.
Ceballos and Peacock then took their appeal to the FTC, which
was heard by chief administrative law judge D. Michael Chappellin an evidentiary hearing on July 13, 2023.
The crux of the case centered around the correctinterpretation of HISA's rule on "Use of the Riding Crop."
The language of the rules states a rider may "use the crop on
the hindquarters to activate and focus the Horse a maximum of
6 times during a race," and can "tap the Horse on the shoulder
with the crop while both hands are holding on to the reins andboth hands are touching the neck of the Horse." The jockey isalso permitted to "use the crop to preserve the safety of Horses
and riders."
At that hearing, the plaintiffs argued that Ceballos struck
Sheriff Brown three times on the hindquarters, and that thejockey's additional use of the whip had been down Sheriff
Brown's shoulder for safety reasons-permitted under HISA's
rulebook-as the horse has a history of "lugging in," according to
Chappell's written decision.
Jeff Williams-an accredited steward since 2013 and a former
jockey with a 32-year career-testified on behalf of the plaintiffs,
alongside Todd Fincher, Sheriff Brown's trainer.
In his decision, Chappell wrote that Williams "credibly opinedthat strikes to the shoulder do not motivate a horse to speed up
or go forward, but rather are used to straighten out the horse,
consistent with Ceballos' and Fincher's testimony stating thesame."At the same time, Chappell questioned the professional bonafides of Albuquerque Downs steward Larry Fontenot, an
accredited steward for approximately five to six years.
"Steward Fontenot's testimony about the absence of a safetyissue was not particularly persuasive. Fontenot does not have

WEDNESDAY • SEPTEMBER 13, 2023

professional jockey experience and his opinion that a safetyconcern did not exist because he did not see Ceballos rise from
Sheriff Brown during the final stretch of the race wascontradicted by testimony of Ceballos, Williams, and Fincher,
who have significantly more experience than him in the field,"
Chappell wrote, in his decision.
Further noting the "poor" quality of the race-day video
footage, Chappell wrote that "the evidence fails to prove that
Ceballos struck Sheriff Brown more than the 6 times on thehindquarters that are permitted under HISA. Moreover, theevidence proves that even if there were strikes to the shoulder,
the strikes would have been made to stop Sheriff Brown fromlugging in to preserve the safety of horses and riders."
Peacock raised concerns with the HISA Board's hearing of theirappeal in March via Zoom, saying that the panel failed toadequately field and address the plaintiff's testimonies andarguments.
"They were two hours late for our Zoom call. They listened toour arguments. Their witness who was one of the racing
stewards that actually made the original decision, he was on his
cell phone driving somewhere they had palm trees-he had nomaterial in front of him. The whole hearing was a farce," said
Peacock.
"When it was over, I was talking to [trainer] Todd Fincher, andhe goes, 'we've got a problem.' And I go, 'what's that?' And hesaid, 'they didn't ask a single question,'" said Peacock. "If we're
saying the use of the crop was to preserve the safety of thehorse and rider, don't you think that they should have asked therider, 'hey, is that true? Is that what happened?'"A senior HISA official on background countered various aspectsof Peacock=s characterization of the March Zoom hearing before
the HISA board, saying that the panel was not late, but that thecase was one of several being heard that day in a cue. The entire
hearing, the senior HISA official added, lasted nearly two hours.
In explaining the HISA board=s appeal ruling, the senior official
said that the panel was limited to a standard of review of finding
whether or not the original steward=s ruling was clearlyerroneous. The FTC=s administrative law judge, on the other
hand, was not required to give such deference to the stewards=
original findings.
Irrespective of whether a party appeals the FTC=s decision, thatgovernmental agency has 45 days to unilaterally review the caseitself, the senior HISA official said.
There exists no provision requiring HISA to recompense theplaintiff=s legal fees.

Over a track surface turned sloppy by steady afternoon rain at
Fort Erie, Velocitor finally got the better of rival ParamountPrince to take the second leg of the Canadian Triple Crown in
the Prince of Wales S.
Fourth to the King's Plate S. winner in each of his last two
starts, the dark bay gelding was able to turn the tables whiledrawn two gates to the outside of the 5-2 favorite. Outsprinted
to the lead by Paramount Prince, Velocitor was able to tuck intoa cozy spot just behind the pacesetter and enjoyed a groundsaving trip through a quick :22.80 opening quarter. Joined
outside by Ottawa (Violence) up the backstretch, the 7-1 shot
threaded between horses to begin his bid into the far turn.
Paramount Prince, no doubt growing leg weary as the half went
in :45.99, was game along the rail and top two turned for home
together. Head and head into the final furlong, it was Velocitor
who had something left to just edge by his rival close to home.
Kaukokaipuu had plenty of run left despite hanging on his left
lead and got up in time to nail Paramount Prince on the line forthe exacta slot.

One Bay Hemingway picked up his first stakes win Tuesdaywith a gritty victory in the Ontario-bred Lake Erie S. Making his
first start away from Woodbine off a 8 1/2-length defeat toPatches O'Houlihan (Reload) in the Lake Superior S. two back,the 3-5 favorite was determined to get the lead but was neverallowed to get comfortable with One More Brew breathing
down his neck from second. The top two battled it out turningfor home and each looked at moments as though they may reign
victorious. But One More Hemingway on the inside had thebetter final strides and gutted out the win. With just the one
runner to his name, sophomore sire Danger Bay (by Stormy
Atlantic) picked up his first stakes winner with the effort. Miss
Hemingway has visited Signature Red each of the last four
breeding seasons but has only produced one foal, a yearling colt.

WHERE NEXT FOR THE
MIGHTY QUINAULT?

Stuart Williams with his stable darling Quinault | Emma BerryBy Emma Berry
From being branded a bit of a tearaway, Quinault (Ger) is now
simply a runaway winner. In fact, he is the winningmost horse in
Britain and Ireland this season, with seven victories from his 10
starts in 2023 for Newmarket trainer Stuart Williams.
The Oasis Dream (GB) three-year-old racked up an impressive
string of six wins from April 27 to July 13 before finishing third in
the Shergar Cup Sprint. Last weekend he returned to Ascot, andto the winner's enclosure, in the hands of Williams's apprentice
Luke Catton, who has forged a successful partnership with hismount at home and on the racecourse. From his opening
handicap mark of 59, Quinault is now rated 102.
His trainer has long proved himself adept at conditioning his
horses to win with frequency, and a former stable stalwart,
Sendintank (GB) (Halling), is a joint-record holder, having
notched 10 handicap wins in one season back in 2004.
"Sendintank was a phenomenal horse but you can't do what
he did now," Williams says. "He won four races in a week twicein the same season, and he won two other handicaps on top ofthat.
"Obviously with Quinault, he's on seven now, and he's gone up
to a mark of 102, so he's not going to get to that number inhandicaps but I am hopeful that he will be able to make his markin stakes company.@ Cont. p3

GREGORY FAVOURITE AS NINE REMAIN IN
ST LEGER
Nine horses have stood their ground for the Betfred St Leger,
which takes place at Doncaster on Saturday.
While much attention will focus on the presence of a royalrunner, Desert Hero (GB) (Sea The Stars {Ire}), who bids to give
King Charles III his first Classic success 46 years after
Dunfermline (GB) won the St Leger for his late mother, there isalso the matter of Frankie Dettori's last ride in a British Classic.
The Italian, who is set to retire from race-riding at the end of
the year, will renew his partnership with race-favourite Gregory(GB) (Golden Horn {GB}), on whom he won the G2 Queen's Vaseat Royal Ascot. Owned by Wathnan Racing, the colt is one ofthree potential runners for John and Thady Gosden, along with
Qatar Racing's Middle Earth (GB) (Roaring Lion) andJuddmonte's contender Arrest (GB) (Frankel {GB}). Cont. p5

Catton, a five-pound claimer, has been on board for four of
Quinault's wins, including on Saturday when he made all to win
by a neck down Ascot's straight seven furlongs. Williams admits
that he has been surprised by how the horse has thrived thisseason.
"Definitely," he says. "Tom doesn't usually buy this type ofhorse. Tom loves going through the numbers and the form, evenpedigrees, but he doesn't really buy horses when he can't see
the form. But we were struggling to buy the ones we wanted atlast year's sale. So many of them are going abroad and theprices were so strong, and you can't really justify those prices tokeep them here."He adds of the tall, strong bay, who appears unfazed by his

Of the latter, Williams says, "I talked to Tom after he'd won

race as to which way we go. I'd be slightly surprised if he's aGroup 1 horse over six furlongs. I think if he ends up being aGroup 1 horse it will be over seven furlongs or a mile. But you
never know, and Tom will have a big say in what we do. He takes

He adds, "We have had a couple of big offers for him but Tom
has got very excited by this horse. He has really rekindled his
enthusiasm for racing. And it's great for us, as so often whenthose huge offers come in and you're a smaller stable you haveto sell them."
With earnings bordering on ,200,000, Quinault is more thanearning his keep, as well as serving an important reminder ofthe skills of one of the shrewdest trainers in the business.

S. at Goodwood.

WEDNESDAY • 13 SEPTEMBER 2023

The King and Queen's runner completed a gallop in
Newmarket on Tuesday, with trainer William Haggas reportingthat Desert Hero worked well.
"He was impressive at Goodwood with cut in the ground andhe won on top of the ground at Royal Ascot, so I don't think that
bothers him too much," Haggas told Sky Sports Racing.
"Obviously the softer it is the more accent it puts on stamina
and he may not be a strong stayer at a mile and six and a half
[furlongs], but we'll see. I think he will."
He added of Desert Hero's royal connections, "Everyone who
is involved in horse racing in any shape or form would like to win
a Classic, whether they breed it, own it, train it, ride it or lookafter it. The Classic is everyone's dream, so they're no different
to everyone else."
Haggas continued, "There doesn't look to be too many thatshouldn't be there. John has got the strongest hand with
Gregory, Middle Earth and Arrest, and Aidan's horse[Continuous] was very impressive in the Voltigeur.
"I suppose Gregory and Continuous are the two, but they'rethe front two in the market. Chesspiece is very solid and we'repretty solid too, so I think it's a good renewal and it will be agood, fun race."
Oisin Murphy will ride the Melrose H. winner Middle Earth andwas also aboard his late sire Roaring Lion for all four of hisGroup 1 wins. Speaking on Sky Sports Racing, Murphy said, "He
has to step up on his Melrose victory, but the form has been
franked.
"Sheikh Fahad has won the race before with Simple Verse, so
hopefully he'll be bang there. It doesn't look like it's going to bea very big field, but there's some good horses in there.
"Time will tell, but I think he's a horse with the right profileand I'd be very excited about his future in general anyway."

FABRE HAS BIG TARGETS FOR PLACE DU
CARROUSEL AND MQSE DE SEVIGNE
Andre Fabre has outlined plans for star fillies Place Du
Carrousel (Ire) (Lope De Vega {Ire}) and Mqse De Sevigne (Ire)(Siyouni {Fr}) that could see the former line out in the Arc andthe latter run at the Breeders' Cup.
Last year's G1 Prix de l'Opera winner Place Du Carrousel beat
the boys in the G2 Prix Foy last weekend and is now bound for
the G1 Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe. She could also be on the plane
to America, according to Fabre, who revealed an audacious tilt
at the Breeders' Cup and then Hong Kong could be in store.
Fabre said of Place Du Carrousel, who passed up an option
against her own sex in the G1 Prix Vermeille most recently, "I
wanted to run her against the colts to see how she did becausethat is what she is going to be running against in the Arc. I wasquite happy.
"She proved she stayed 12 furlongs well. I need to discuss
things with the owner, but if she remains in good shape she'squite fresh because she hasn't run much this year, we could lookat big races in the States or in Hong Kong. She's proving that she
can handle any sort of ground, but the Arc will be tough. She'sgoing to run well."Mqse De Sevigne has won Group 1 races over a mile and 10
furlongs in her last two races and is likely heading to Newmarket
next for the G1 Sun Chariot S. before she runs in the GI
Breeders' Cup Mile. Cont. p8

There are things we cannot see--the sacrifices made by the
Dettori family, which he may want to repay; the toll of
weight-management; the travelling and stress, the urge to try
new things. Wanting to retire is easier than being forced to. We
can only guess how much of Dettori's exuberance this summer isrooted in a sense of impending liberation.
With every sunset comes a fear of the dark. Nobody in racing
beyond his rivals in the weighing room wants to say goodbye toFrankie Dettori (even they will feel conflicted, because he brings
the crowds in). This feels like a very public dilemma. In reality,
it's intensely personal.

OBSERVATIONS
on the European racing scene

DAUGHTER OF MISTY FOR ME STARTS AT
PUNCHESTOWN
13.15 Punchestown, Mdn, i15,000, 2yo, f, 7fTGREENFINCH (Justify) is the eighth foal out of the accomplished
Misty For Me (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}), heroine of four Group 1 races
including the Irish 1000 Guineas, and therefore a half-sister to
War Front=s multiple Group 1-winning duo U S Navy Flag andRoly Poly. Among the Ballydoyle newcomer=s peers is
Juddmonte=s Rising Sign (GB) (Frankel {GB}), a Ger Lyonstrained full-sister to the smart 3-year-old Covey (GB) from thefamily of Acclamation (GB).
13.45 Punchestown, Mdn, i12,000, 2yo, 8fT
FIGHTER (IRE) (Frankel {GB}) is another Ballydoyle newcomer,
this time sporting the Matsushima colours, who adds spice tothis card as a half-brother to the G1 Irish Derby hero Trading
Leather (Ire) (Teofilo {Ire}). He meets nine on his debut in thismaiden in which the stable=s River Thames (Ire) (Churchill {Ire})
earned TDN Rising Star status two years ago.

HOW THEY FARED
15.25 Leicester, Nov, ,9,000, 2yo, c/g, 7fT
Jim and Fitri Hay=s hitherto untested Ciro Di Marzio (Justify), a
i518,519 Goffs Dubai Breeze-Up half-brother to GI Summer S.
winner Fog Of War (War Front), was unable to feature at thebusiness end of this debut and finished over 10 lengths behind
the winner in ninth.
15.50 Galway, Mdn, i16,000, 2yo, 8f 123yT
Grosvenor Square (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}), the half-brother toSantiago (Ire) (Authorized {Ire}), got off to the ideal start andalthough he had to work for it the way he finished off suggests
he will be a strong stayer with a touch of class.

4th-Leicester Cont.
Bustled along passing the quarter-mile marker, the 12-1
chance came under increased pressure approaching the furlong
pole and kept on relentlessly to deny Midnite Storm (Ire) (NightOf Thunder {Ire}) by a half-length in the dying strides, becoming
the 33rd individual winner for his freshman sire (by Shamardal).
Blue Lemons, kin to the dam of Listed Premio Repubbliche
Marinare victrix Sa Filonzana (Ire) (El Kabeir), is the latest ofseven foals and third scorer from as many runners produced bya sibling of G2 Prix de Malleret winner Time On (GB) (Sadler=sWells) and Listed Fortune S. victrix Posted (GB) (Kingman {GB}).
Time On is the dam of G3 Oh So Sharp S. winner Mot Juste(Distorted Humor). The February-foaled bay=s second dam is G3
Musidora S. winner and G1 Prix de Diane third Time Away (Ire)(Darshaan {GB}), whose descendants also include G1 Moyglare
Stud S. victrix Cursory Glance (Distorted Humor) and GI TurfClassic hero Digital Age (Ire) (Invincible Spirit {Ire}). Time Away,in turn, is a granddaughter of MG1SW champion Time Charter(Ire) (Saritamer). Sales history: 38,000gns Wlg >21 TADEWE;

once past halfway, the 9-1 chance made continued headway
under pressure to go second entering the final furlong and was
ridden out to assert by two lengths from Surveyor (GB) (Pivotal{GB}) by two lengths. Spiritual is the latest of three foals andsecond scorer produced by Listed Stanerra S. winner and G3
Give Thanks S. and G3 Loughbrown S. third Wild Irish Rose (Ire)(Galileo {Ire}), herself a half-sister to GIII Hotham S. victor

Still a maiden entering this test, Thunder Roll had shownenough when second to TDN Rising Star Tower Of London (Ire)(Galileo {Ire}) in the Listed King George V Cup at Leopardstown
and when third in Cork=s G3 Munster Oaks in June to suggestthat she had what it takes to eventually garner one of these.
Undone by a smart newcomer in The Aga Khan=s Sumiha (Ire)(Sea The Stars {Ire}) dropping to 10 furlongs in a Curragh maiden
returning after a break last month, the Whisperview homebredcame into her own back over a trip that suits her staying
prowess. Cont. p14

Listed Oyster S. Cont.
Caught wide the whole way having been drawn on the outer,the chestnut was committed by Dylan Browne McMonagle withover two furlongs remaining and once she had the lead wasnever going to relinquish it as a blanket of closers tried in vain to
bridge the gap. AI let her jump forward from the gates and she
stayed well, although it was a bit messy for the first half and I
got the worst of the barging around the first bend,@ her rider
said. AShe has been a model of consistency and never runs a badrace. It is onwards and upwards now and she looks like she
could be better next year.@
The dam, whose unraced 2-year-old colt Dreige (Ire) is by
Caravaggio and who also has a colt foal by Australia (GB), gets
her stamina from her Listed Lupe S.-winning grandmother
Fragrant Hill (GB) (Shirley Heights {GB}). A half to Linamix=sstrong-staying class acts Fragrant Mix (Ire) and Alpine Rose (Fr)from a family crafted by Jean-Luc Lagardere, the second dam is
the Listed Prix des Tourelles winner and G3 Prix Cleopatreplaced Farfala (Fr) also by Linamix who is the dam of the G2
Lancashire Oaks-placed duo Under The Rainbow (GB) (Fantastic

GROSVENOR SQUARE (IRE) (c, 2, Galileo {Ire}--Wadyhatta {GB},by Cape Cross {Ire}), a half-brother to the G1 Irish Derby hero
Santiago (Ire) (Authorized {Ire}), broke well before taking a lead.
Driven to get on terms turning for home, the 6-4 favourite
powered to the line to record an ultimately convincing 2 1/4length success from Naturally Nimble (Ger) (Too Darn Hot {GB}).
AHe is a lovely horse, he is only starting to develop and was justright for starting here,@ stable representative Chris Armstrong
said. AAidan thought it would be a nice introduction to get him
started, but obviously they went steady which wouldn=t suit.
We=ll step him up into one of the group races now andeverything is building to next year. It took Killian [Hennessy] along time to pull him up and he was only doing his best work
once he hit the line.@ Following her first foal Santiago, who also
captured the G2 Queen=s Vase and was third in the G1
Goodwood Cup, the dam produced as her second the G1 Prix
Vermeille and G1 Yorkshire Oaks third La Joconde (Ire) by
