Case Study:

Plusvital performed our patented Speed Gene Test on a sample of 285 horses at the 2015 Fasig-Tipton Midlantic HIT sale, leading to some interesting findings:

In a separate study of 227 horses from the yards of three Group One winning, Newmarket-based trainers using Plusvital’s Racing GenePak, which combines the Speed Gene Test with the more advanced Distance Plus Test, we found:

•

:C (sprint/mile) type horses were found to have the C fastest breeze up times when compared to C:T (middle distance) and T:T (staying) type horses, leading in turn to higher sales averages and higher clearance rates. herefore sales price, clearance rate and Breeze Up time T is directly proportional to Speed Gene Type.

Within additional Plusvital studies, T:T type horses have been shown to achieve greater earnings than C:C type horses later in their careers due to their propensity to mature much later.

This shows that there is a very significant financial benefit to vendors in testing at yearling sales if they intend on bringing them to HIT sales.

first word

In a year of elections, Paul Haigh reckons there should be a vote at Royal Ascot for “Horse of the Meeting�. With so many great performances, who would you chose?

A Royal Ascot 10

www.internationalthoroughbred.net

first word Le Brivido (left) winning the Group 3 Jersey Stakes.

“It was a new experience for Le Brivido coming to Ascot and I liked that he showed that he will get a mile.

“When he got beaten in the French Guineas it was a matter of greenness, he hit the front a bit soon. He is in the Sussex Stakes, but I think he will go for the Prix le Marois” - André Fabre

“

It’s a cliché now to say that Royal Ascot continues to go from strength to strength. It’s five days during which the quality of the racing never flags (although the big field handicaps remain a taste some of us will never acquire) and it is now fair to describe it as by some distance the greatest race meeting in the world.

Having delivered this encomium though, rather than bore on about what’s so right about it, it might be a good idea to point out instead the things that are wrong, or at least those that might be improved.

The obvious one is the absence this year of the Australians, the Hong Kongers and (still) the Japanese.

Australia, in the form of the mighty Winx, was most missed, of course. But it seems we’re now going to have to reconcile ourselves to the fact that she’s not going to

If Brametot is much better than Le Brivido, then the Jockey-Club form might be better than Epsom’s for the second year in a row.

Not that the Derby wound up with much egg on its face...

Benbatl (Hampton Court) and Permian (Hardwick) showed that even the beaten horses are pretty good

race outside her homeland.

And, given the thought which seems to be developing in Australia in the wake of Black Caviar’s experience, that long distance travel can weaken even the greatest, if Winx ever does get herself a passport it seems unlikely her first trip will be to the other side of the world.

No meeting without her can currently claim to be a world championship though. So this year’s jamboree, if not quite Hamlet without the Prince, was the play without Ophelia.

Hong Kong is going through a lean spell at the moment. It may only be a temporary blip but it was symbolised by the recent retirement ceremony for their once world-class sprinter Aerovelocity, and they haven’t got one worth sending all the way to Berkshire at the moment.

(Now why don’t other jurisdictions have these farewell ceremonies for retiring heroes which are simply the norm in the Far East?).

The Japanese have the excuse that they’re still besotted with the Arc, to the exclusion of all other overseas ventures, but if it ever crosses their minds that Ascot might offer almost equally prestigious targets there would still be their own early summer prizes to get in the way.

It was witty of the Breeders’ Cup’s publicists to point out that Satorno Crown’s victory in the Tenno Sho last weekend now gives him a ‘win and you’re in’ for their autumn event. They wish.

T

he other disadvantage this year was the heat. It makes a change not to have rain to moan about, but 30 degrees of highish humidity is about the outer limit of the average Brit’s tolerance.

A few middle-aged racegoers in what would be reckoned the cheap seats, if there were such things at Ascot, dealt with the problem by taking their shirts off and bashing each other up. Made for entertaining tweets. Well, it’s one use for the coach park. It would never happen in the Royal Enclosure would it? You never know when things get tropical. “I say, Tarquin. Be a good egg and hold my hold my hat”.

The weather didn’t faze the French, or the Americans both of whom blew holes in the local opposition.

The compliment Le Brivido paid the Prix du JockeyClub winner Brametot was a huge one. Racing on what was the disadvantageous part of the track, and with nothing to aim at, he still managed to mow down those on the stands rails. He got first run on Brametot in the Jockey Club and got beaten anyway.

If Brametot is much better than Le Brivido, then the Jockey-Club form might be better than Epsom’s for the second year in a row. Not that the Derby wound up with much egg on its face. The Blue Riband may have been won by an outsider not even Aidan O’Brien rated, but Benbatl (Hampton Court) and Permian (Hardwick) showed that even the beaten horses are pretty good.

Lady Aurelia paid huge compliments to herself, and

The Gold Cup is not usually a race for Paul Haigh, but this year the battle between Big Orange (above) and Order Of St George was a “genuine epic”

to her trainer Wesley Ward. How does he get these horses to come over to Ascot and just act as though they aren’t even conscious of having left home? American horses are supposed to excel on their pet Dirt. They’re not supposed to come over and embarrass the ones we like to think of as speed horses.

The Gold Cup is usually a let down for those of us who refuse to think it’s wonderful just because we’ve been told to. There’s probably a good reason why nobody else runs supposedly championship races over 2m4f.

If you can think of it put it on a postcard and send it to the Ascot excecutive.But this year the old “Aretheynearlythereyet Stakes” let nobody down. The finish between Big Orange and Order Of Saint George was a genuine epic. Neither of them will win the Melbourne Cup, but it’s possible we saw a horse who might be running in the even longer races.

Thomas Hobson beat 17 runners by 6l and more over 2m4f on the Tuesday and then would have completed the double in the 2m6f Queen Alexandra that rounded off the near perfect meeting – if it hadn’t been for Oriental Fox who’d won the race in 2015 and thought he might like to do it again.

On second thoughts Thomas Hobson wouldn’t get warmed up in time for 2m at Flemington, even if he got in. Much better for him to stick to hurdling and the three miler at Cheltenham. Willie Mullins isn’t in obvious need of Cheltenham horses, but owner Rich Ricci knows what he likes. Was there ever a better named owner?

Whether you like the penguin suits and the flummery is just a matter of taste. No prizes for guessing what this one thinks. There was plenty of tradition anyway.

Ryan Moore was champion jockey, and Aiden O’Brien champion trainer. You can’t get much more traditional than that.

Ascot began with the officially rated third-best horse in the world, Ribchester, looking brilliant in the

Queen Anne. It ended with the longest Flat race on the calendar and encompassed every shade and nuance of racing in between.

In fact, the meeting gave you that end of Cheltenham feeling when it finished: that awful “Do we really have to wait another year?” that jumps’ devotees have to put up with annually; that direct opposite of last day of term jubilation when the week they’ve been looking forward to for so long is now the past.

And you can’t pay any meeting any higher compliment than that.

One thing that might improve on what was pretty much perfection. Almost every other sport nowadays has a man or woman of the match. At the end of Ascot week why not a Horse of the Meeting?

Since we seem to be in a season of elections (with another one needed as soon as possible in this observer’s opinion) the public could vote. Would yours go to Ribchester or Lady Aurelia, or The Tin Man or Winter, or to Caravaggio who was good enough to win even though not quite at his best?

The guess would be Big Orange, even though here’s one who will never be persuaded the Gold Cup is the highlight of the week – or even of Ladies’ Day.

the news

Goffs London Sale topped by Classic-placed colt Lockheed Networking, meeting and greeting and branding were maybe stronger themes at the bespoke Goffs London Sale than the selling of horses – of the 19 lots offered, 12 horses found new

connections at a clearance rate of 63 per cent.

Interest was strong from the international bench of owners – most horses bought by Chinese or Hong Kong-based owners.

Lockheed topped proceedings selling for £900,000 to Australian agent Chris McAnulty.

The three-year-old son of Exceed And Excel did not take up a Royal Ascot engagement and McAnulty said: “He will be gelded and given a couple of

months here in the UK before being shipped to John Size’s yard in Hong Kong.

“He’s for a long-term owner Henry Cheng Kar Shun and this is the first time he has purchased at a European sale. I must pay particular thanks to his personal assistant Eric Wong who was instrumental in facilitating the purchase.”

Lockheed, who has a Group 1 third as a two-year-old and a Group 2 runner-up spot

in the Mehl-Mulhens-Rennen this spring on his CV, was sold by the China Horse Club. It was felt by his owners that he had not achieved enough to secure a place at stud.

“I would also like to thank Goffs and the China Horse Club for entering such an exciting horse. It’s my first time here at the sale and there is a terrific atmosphere which really sets the scene for the week ahead.”

trounced and finished eight of eight behind the “iron horse”, Highland Reel.

Amazingly, both he and his brother Idaho can drip sweat at the start and still produce great performances.

Churchill was a major upset in the St James’s Palace. Allowing for the excuses Barney Boy had at Newmarket, surely Churchill should have confirmed the form, at least with Lancaster Bomber and Thunder Snow?

The enjoyment of Tuesday was much enhanced by an excellent picnic in the Meadow car park by the racecourse stables and by a new meeting spot below the Bollinger tent and next to the unsaddling area for the unplaced horses.

This provided shade, a good view of the big television on the tunnel to the main paddock and a short walk to the saddling boxes.

Needless to say it was also very handy for fluid replacement, which was hard for me as I was the designated driver.

I am involved with John Pearce Racing, which is hoping to keep John’s name and colours in the winners’ enclosure in future years after his death in March.

The aim is to continue his quest for a Derby winner with the emphasis on producing good-class, middledistance runners.

R

oyal Ascot 2017 was a heady mixture of fierce hot weather (by British standards), strong team performances from Ballydoyle and Godolphin, good French and American results (courtesy of Wesley Ward) but no Australian or Hong Kong competition.

Galileo and Scat Daddy both had excellent results with the trio of Highland Reel, Winter and Idaho outstanding for the former, while Lady Aurelia, Caravaggio and Sioux Nation brilliant Group winners for the latter.

The Tin Man and Big Orange scored notable wins for Newmarket and featured dramatic finishes.

Qemah, Le Brivido and Different League flew the flag for France, though the latter has a very strong Irish connection with Con and Therese Marnane well rewarded for not letting her go at Doncaster Sales.

They are having another very successful year with their team in France.

The two main disappointments (apart from Frankie Dettori’s absence from the saddle) were Churchill and Jack Hobbs.

The latter was probably the paddock pick in the Prince Of Wales’s Stakes and favourite, but was well

John’s great nephew Edmund Bush is able to continue the family involvement and had an exciting introduction when flying across to New York to see St Michel, trained by Sir Mark Prescott, narrowly fail to peg back Red Cardinal in the 2m Belmont Gold Cup Invitational Stakes on Turf.

Some of the American jockeys looked very bemused by the tactics of riding that far on grass, and the pace was quite uneven.

William Butler, Sir Mark’s assistant, was in charge of this expedition and was very grateful to the Belmont authorities for the help given in allowing them to use the Turf before racing.

Fortunately Ascot extended the same hospitality to Wesley Ward, even though some of the English professionals showed some rather petty resentment.

Hopefully, the Spring Carnival in Victoria might be on St Michel’s agenda.

I was lucky enough to be invited to the Gerald Leigh Memorial Lectures organised by the Beaufort Cottage Educational Trust, aka Rossdales, at Palace House Mews.

Gerald was a highly successful owner/breeder, and seller, with notable winners Barathea, Bosra Sham, Gossamer, Markofdistinction,

the news at Royal Ascot, the best placings were achieved by two horses who did not sell. Indian Dandy, a vendor buyback by Marco Botti’s Prestige Place Stables, finished fourth in the Britannia Handicap, while Mr Scarlet was fifth in the Commonwealth Cup. He was offered by Sheila Lavery Racing and did not sell at £350,000.

Of those sold, the best result was acheived by Aim To Please, fifth in the Duke Of Cambridge Stakes (G2). She was bought privately by John Dance for £340,000.

Infamy and Act One. The main topic of discussion was problems associated with the horse’s larynx, and thus their ability to breath.

The first lecturer, the eminent Canadian surgeon from Cornell, Norm Aucharme, did not make it easy for us non-veterinarians to comprehend!

Luckily, Geoff Lane was able to get his message across to the non-science graduates.

He has headed the Tattersalls’ wind test panel for a number of years and been a very proactive “wind op” surgeon at Bristol University.

He explained that only in England and Ireland are yearlings scoped after an unsatisfactory wind test.

The States, Australia and New Zealand rely only on the scope, while France only on the wind test.

He believes that foals should be scoped sparingly using only narrow equipment and restricted to one examination with, maybe, three opinions.

The question of the efficacy of tongue ties was raised and statistically they are 35 per cent effective for soft palate control.

The two other lecturers, Vince Gerber and Sarah Blott, dealt with genetic risk factors for equine respiratory disease and genetic improvement in dogs and horses.

Seemingly, the Kennel Club is much more proactive than thoroughbred breeders in this respect.

As we were in Palace House, Geoff used a nice line linking to the days of King Charles II (essentially, the founder

Alastair Donald at The Orangery

Straight Right finished seventh in the Commonwealth Cup (G1). He was the most expensive purchase by SackvilleDonald buying for Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha, owner of Leicester City FC, who bought six lots for an outlay of just over £2million.

Straight Right, with a Group 3 placing to his name, was consigned by trainer Christophe Ferland. He sold for £450,000.

Alastair Donald said: “Mr Srivaddhanaprabha has been looking to expand his interest in racing for a while and was keen

King Charles II and Jane Lane riding to Bristol by Isaac Fuller The picture shows the King escaping capture in disguise with Lane, an ancestress of “wind op surgeon” Geoff Lane

of racing at Newmarket).

A Jane Lane, an ancestress of Geoff’s helped Charles escape on horseback after the Battle of Worcester.

Apparently, she was “an acute wit” but “no beauty” according to the writer and diarist of the time John Evelyn. To escape Charles acted as her manservant and they escaped to Bristol.

Close to Palace House is Nell Gwynn’s former cottage.

She was one of nine royal mistresses of the King, and five different ones bore him seven sons.

Nell had a temporary dalliance with one of Ed Sackville’s ancestors, Lord Buckhurst.

Nell’s son described Buckhurst as

“cultured, witty, satirical, dissolute and utterly charming”.

Ed must be rather proud of him.

Palace House is home to a portrait of another mistress, Hortense Mazarin.

She was quite a character and Jacob Voet painted her with an exposed nipple. She was skilled with pistols and swords, had affairs with the Countess of Sussex and a 16-yearold girl, Sidonie de Coucelles.

She had an unhappy marriage, but bore her husband four children and managed to have many affairs with important, and rich, men.

She had four great-granddaughters who were all mistresses of Louis XV: something genetic there?

So who says history is boring?

to have greater presence at the Royal meeting.”

The 103-rated Group 3 third Born To Play (Born To Sea) sold for £500,000 to the Australianbased agency Bahen Bloodstock.

He had been purchased by Joseph G Murphy’s Crampcastle Bloodstock for 20,000gns at Tattersalls October Book 2 Sale.

Supplementary entry, the juvenile Street Cry maiden colt Yulong Warrior with two runnerups spots to his name and an entry in the Listed Chesham Stakes (not taken up), was bought by Dubai-based trainer Satish Seemar of Zabeel Stables for £360,000.

This fourth renewal of the London Sale did not, for the first year, feature any breeze-up lots, instead the sale is to concentrate in addition to its Royal Ascotentered horses-in-training, on breeding stock.

The Hawk Wing mare Millevini, offered by Heatherwold Stud, in-foal to Kingman and with a Frankel foal at foot, failed to sell at £570,000.

Baldovina, a Tale Of The Cat mare, is dam of the two winners from four runners, including the Queen Mary Stakes (G2) winner Ceiling Kitty. She was offered

by Chasemore Farm, and was bought by SackvilleDonald for £300,000. She is in-foal to the champion sprinter Muhaarar.

Henry Beeby, CEO of Goffs said: “Spirited bidding saw the key statistics advance with average rising by 26 per cent to over £375,000 and median was up almost 80 per cent to £340,000.

“These figures speak for themselves and demonstrate the enormous hunger for the quality and class that is offered at the sale.

“We would like to thank our title sponsor QIPCO for their continued support and all our partners Selfridges, Chateau Leoube, JetSmarter, Select Mobile and Rolls Royce who added so much to everyone’s enjoyment of the evening.”

....Girls aloud

oyal Ascot is the race meeting that annually demonstrates why horse racing is known as the “Sport of Kings”.

The daily Royal carriage procession of landaus pulled by Windsor Greys and Cleveland Bays carrying liveried horsemen, the attendance of rulers and royalty and movers and shakers from all around the world, along with the regally influenced race names and a specific dress code, all combine to create an atmosphere of pomp and ceremony that is unlike any other sporting event.

This is before you even add in the cream of equine talent on display every year with European Turf superstars being challenged by raiders from countries such as US, and Japan for prize-money of over £5.5 million, eight Group 1 races and 18 Group races on offer for the five days.

With nearly 300,000 people attending and the meeting televised in over 200 different territories this is clearly a formula that works and holds huge attraction for racegoers and viewers alike.

Despite overall attendance being slightly down on 2016 figures, the ITV viewing figures showed greatly improved numbers, as people tuned in to watch the excellent coverage.

That mark however is still some way off the peak figures achieved by the BBC. It always makes me marvel at the huge passion for Royal Ascot given that it has a dress code and rules and regulations that, while relaxed from days gone by, are stricter than any other meeting, or leisure pastime.

Elsewhere other racecourses spend their time and money trying to make the sport more accessible to the average person with ideas such as big name bands playing after racing or prize-winning ladies’ days to draw in the crowds.

The beauty of Royal Ascot is that every day is a Ladies’ day, with no clear winner as everybody has put their best foot forward. Even the men have to put in the effort.

There is no need to pay for big name entertainment as many stars from all walks of life are more than happy to be there, with the biggest star of all, Her Majesty The Queen in attendance every day.

Even the equine stars all come out to shine during the five-day meeting and this year was no exception with Big Orange, Lady Aurelia, Winter, Caravaggio, Ribchester, Barney Roy and Highland Reel just some of the big names to light up the winners’ enclosure.

Then, as if all this wasn’t enough, there is the extra special atmosphere that is not found at any other meeting that sees people betting on the Queens’ outfit, singing at the bandstand and partying at picnics in the carparks both before and after racing.

The 91-year-old Queen has not missed a day at Royal Ascot since 1953 and she made sure that the delayed state opening of parliament did not upset that record.

Veteran MP Dennis Skinner saw the funny side of the Queen’s diary predicament, and in his traditional heckle ahead of the Queen’s speech, joked that MPs and Black Rod should hurry up so she could make it to Ascot for the first race.

Mr Skinner said: “Get your skates on, the first race is half past two!”

Despite Her Majesty’s efforts, unpatriotically that first race went to the French horse Le Brivido, a son of Siyouni, trained by André Fabre and owned by Prince Faisal Khaled

Bloodstock agents Cathy Grassick and Tina Rau share our new column discussing bloodstock and racing issues.

Grassick is in charge this month

Royal Ascot is a particularly (maybe perculiarly? Ed) British phenomenon, but the idea of championship racing combined with glamour and entertainment is one that has been embraced by meetings such as the Breeders’ Cup in North America, the Arc meeting in France, the Melbourne Cup in Australia and more recently in Ireland with the Irish Champions Weekend.

It is important for the health of our industry that these great championship events continue to flourish and thrive in order to allow our equine superstars to compete at the highest level and to continue to attract both the racing public and new investors to racing.

It is important for racecourses to continue to look at innovative and exciting ways to encourage new participants and supporters to racing.

Having a high profile music act at a racecourse after racing will draw crowds, but how does that encourage people to continue to go racing when there is no such attraction on offer?

Music nights and ladies’ days are great ways of attracting numbers but the important thing is to get people to relate to the actual sport and to give them a wonderful experience in order for them to want to return again and again.

Maybe offering entrants to these competitions two free tickets to return to another meeting at the track would encourage some return visitors to the sport?

Racecourses need to be able to offer the customers an enjoyable experience combined with a high standard of facilities and services on the track, as well as excellent transport links to and from large population centres.

The improvements that have been made in other sports, particularly when it comes to catering, means that horseracing needs to keep pace in order to continue to attract patrons.

The recent move to encourage younger generations has been excellent with educational days for young racegoers, allowing them to meet their heroes and learn more about the sport, is definitely a step in the right direction.

Another great way of attracting younger generations has been the improvement and regulation of pony racing, which encourages future generations to cut their teeth in the industry.

It is important not to become complacent or rest on ones laurels when it comes to retaining market share in the cut throat business of sport and entertainment.

The continued success of the top meetings such as Royal Ascot are nothing but good for the industry and gain much needed mainstream media coverage for our sport but the continued success of the industry relies on the grass roots activity and the bread and butter of regular race days.

Ribchester breaks the track record to win

the G1 Queen Anne Stakes, confirming his status as the world’s highest-rated miler and Europe’s highest-rated horse. He’s the latest and greatest by Iffraaj, who also has two G1-winning colts in Australia and New Zealand in 2017. In fact, of all the stallions in the world, only Galileo has more 2017 G1 wins than Iffraaj.

Not since the ’80s has a stallion sired three G1-winning juveniles from his first four crops. That’s Iffraaj, in outline.

oyal Ascot, Britain’s (possibly the globe’s) most glittering racing week, produced some notable clashes and spectacles, as it invariably does.

There were exhibitions of brilliant speed from Lady Aurelia and Caravaggio that caught the breath, and a pulsating finish to the Gold Cup between Big Orange and Order Of St George that set the heart pumping. For sheer courage, look no further than the remarkable Highland Reel And through it all ran the thread of the rivalry between the two superpowers, the Coolmore and Godolphin operations. The County Tipperary outfit prevailed in the end, but the meeting marked a welcome return to the glory days for Godolphin. It was so much fun to watch the two battalions fight out racefinishes again.

Aidan O’Brien, despite a first-day reverse for Churchill, finished the week as leading trainer for the eighth time, and third in succession, with six victories, one less than his record seven last year.

His three Group 1 winners Highland Reel, Caravaggio and Winter, were backed up by Idaho and two-year-olds Sioux Nation and September. His nearest pursuers, with two winners apiece, were Charlie Appleby, John

Gosden, Mark Johnson and Wesley Ward.

Ryan Moore was leading jockey, also with six wins, five of them on the Ballydoyle contingent. (Seamie Heffernan rode Idaho, and Moore scored on Ascot Stakes winner Thomas Hobson for Willie Mullins).

William Buick was second-best rider, with four victories – Ribchester, Sound Of Silence, Permian and Rare Rhythm.

The Coolmore partners had their six O’Brien-trained winners, and though Godolphin also had six, they lost the numerical battle on second-place count back.

They also had to give best on the Group 1 table, with two to Coolmore’s three.

Galileo was easily leading sire on earnings, with Highland Reel, Winter and Idaho to his credit, and second places from Decorated Knight, Order Of St George, Orderofthegarter and Rain Goddess. He recorded a famous 1-2-3 in the week’s richest contest Prince Of Wales’s Stakes, with Highland Reel, Decorated Knight and Ulysses.

But numerical honours went to the late Scat Daddy, who stood under the Coolmore banner at Ashford in Kentucky.

His four winners included two at the top level, Lady Aurelia and Caravaggio.

royal ascot and Rare Rhythm, while his stud-mate Exceed And Excel (Sound And Silence and Out Do) and the Gilltown-based Sea The Stars (Bless Him and Stradivarius) scored doubles.

Tuesday: Godolphin re-emerges

What better way to celebrate an anniversary?

Forty years to the day after Sheikh Mohammed notched his first British win, courtesy of Hatta in a Brighton juvenile maiden, his elite Godolphin operation delivered him a Group 1 Royal Ascot double with Ribchester and Barney Roy, winners of the Queen Anne and St James’s Palace Stakes. The victories gave the blues an embarrassment of riches in the mile department.

It was the team’s first top-level pair on the same card at the meeting. The blues’ day was rounded off with a 1-2 from Sound And Silence and Roussel in the closing Windsor Castle Stakes, all providing a much-needed fillip after the rather public upheaval in the ranks that resulted in the resignation of longstanding chief executive John Ferguson.

He is easily the best

by Iffraaj, who reportedly and not surprisingly in the light of Ribchester’s performances in 2016, has been a very busy stallion in this year’s covering shed Ironically, though, it was Ferguson who was instrumental in the head-hunting of both four-year-old Ribchester and three-year-old Barney Roy. And both remained with their original trainers, Richard Fahey and Richard Hannon after purchase.

With his stablemate Toscanini setting a strong pace on lightning-fast ground, Ribchester broke the straight mile track record by nearly half a second, despite wavering slightly in front under Buick through the final furlong. Mutakayyef was

20

second-best, followed closely by Deauville and Spectre, with the first four well clear of the rest.

It was Ribchester’s second Royal Ascot success, after the Jersey Stakes last year, and third at the top level, after last year’s Prix Jacques Le Marois and the Lockinge Stakes in May. He is tough and talented and copes with any ground, and sets the standard that the Classic generation of milers must aim at.

He is easily the best by sire Iffraaj, who reportedly and not surprisingly in the light of Ribchester’s performances in 2016, has been a very busy stallion in this year’s covering shed. And he still looks well priced at £27,500.

Barney Roy, ridden by James Doyle, comprehensively avenged his 2,000 Guineas defeat by Churchill, to whom he finished a length adrift after stumbling badly on the downhill run to the Dip. At Ascot he came home more than 4l clear of the Ballydoyle hotpot, who lost his unbeaten record with an uncharacteristically flat performance in fourth. Maybe the fast ground not being to his liking?

A step up in trip is being considered for Barney Roy, who was always in control

through the final furlong and had a length to spare over Churchill’s stablemate Lancaster Bomber, with another Godolphin colourbearer, Thunder Snow, a head third.

Churchill had beaten all of the first three home previously (Lancaster Bomber five times, Thunder Snow in the Irish Guineas) and it will be no surprise when he bounces back.

Godolphin may have taken the day’s bragging rights, but the individual standout performance came from the freakishly fast US raider Lady Aurelia, who blitzed Europe’s best 5f specialists in the speedsters’ showpiece, the King’s Stand Stakes.

Twelve months before, the three-yearold had put her Queen Mary Stakes rivals to the sword by 7l. This time, in an all-aged, all-sex Group 1 dash, she again showed her trademark brilliant pace and acceleration, though she scored by “only” 3l.

With Johnny Velazquez replacing injured Frankie Dettori, she exploded to the front before the final furlong, chased vainly by last year’s winner Profitable and Prix de l’Abbaye heroine Marsha, spilt by a head.

Lady Aurelia is described by her trainer the talented Wesley Ward as a “once-ina-lifetime” horse, and happily for British racegoers, the plan is for her to return for the Nunthorpe Stakes at York.

Though Godolphin took the first-day ownership honours, the Coolmore partners edged the superpowers’ stallion battle.

Godolphin’s Sound And Silence won the first day’s concluding Windsor Castle Stakes.

He is by Exeed And Excel, whose progeny have a preference for fast ground, and the win indicated how quick the ground was riding this year at Royal Ascot in the sweltering “heatwave-like” conditions Barney Roy is a son of Excelebration, the best son of Exceed And Excel, and gave his sire his first Group 1 strike from his first crop.

It’s early days, but the likelihood being that the fast ground preference will be carried down the genetic tree.

Barney Roy, Lady Aurelia and Group 2 Coventry Stakes winner Rajasinghe carried the Coolmore banner.

Lady Aurelia is from the penultimate crop of much-missed Scat Daddy, who died young at Ashford Stud two years ago.

And Rajasinghe, who gave rookie trainer Richard Spencer a first Royal Ascot winner with his first runner, is from the final European crop of Choisir, who put Australia on the international bloodstock map with his victories in the King’s Stand and Golden Jubilee Stakes 14 years ago.

royal ascot Choisir has been a strong, yet under-rated influence.

Wednesday: Highland tops

After shaving the bar several times – thirds from Deauville and Murillo (the one to take from the Coventry Stakes), runner-up spots from Lancaster Bomber and Spirit Of Valor – the Ballydoyle machine hit the target with the most reliable striker in the stable.

Highland Reel is not the most brilliant horse Aidan O’Brien has trained, but he can certainly stake a claim to be the most durable and most courageous.

From his 23 runs in seven countries he has won nine times and been out of the first four only six times. The Prince Of Wales’s Stakes, Royal Ascot’s richest purse, was his sixth at the highest level, bringing his earnings to nearly £6 million.

His latest victory came in typical fashion.

Always close to the pace, he went for home early in the straight and after being narrowly headed by Decorated Knight and Ulysses, rallied for Ryan Moore to see off their challenge and was going away again at the line. This was only 19 days after he took the Coronation Cup after a well-documented nightmare journey to Epsom.

And he is a horse whose toughness allows him to perform on fast ground.

It was Highland Reel’s first top-level victory at 1m2f since he took the Secretariat Stakes in Chicago as a three-year-old. The

others – the Hong Kong Vase, the King George VI Stakes, the Breeders’ Cup Turf and Coronation Cup – all came over 1m4f.

“We were hoping courage would come into it – it’s what his dad had, and he has it ten-

The lion-hearted Highland Reel (Galileo), who fought back after being headed in the straight, returns after his Prince Of Wales’s Stakes victory which took his earnings over the £6 million mark

fold. When it comes to bravery I have never found him wanting,” said O’Brien.

Dad, of course, is Galileo. Highland Reel is one of 64 individual Group or Grade 1 winners by the king of Coolmore.

And though the Prince Of Wales’s Stakes was the 19-year-old stallion’s first success of the week, he did it in supersire style – he was responsible for not only the winner, but the second and third, for the sixth Group 1 clean sweep of his extraordinary career.

Wesley Ward’s love affair with the Queen Mary Stakes – he had won the two previous editions with Acapulco and Lady Aurelia, and the 2009 running with Jealous Again – came to an end when Happy Like A Fool ran into Heartache.

But the American found some unexpected compensation later in the day when 20-1 shot Con Te Partiro provided his ninth Royal Ascot win, the first having been Strike The Tiger in the 2009 Windsor Castle Stakes.

Heartache, trained by Clive Cox, was a first Royal Ascot winner for her breeder Chris Harper, owner of Whitsbury Manor Stud.

The filly is by Cheveley Park Stud resident Kyllachy, whose sire Pivotal was also responsible for Siyouni, sire of Jersey Stakes (G3) winner Le Brivido.

James Doyle set superb fractions on the front-running Big Orange in the Gold Cup, leaving enough to see off Order Of St Geroge (below) by inches

in his local Guineas, rallied to beat Spirit Of Valor a neck and will return to top mile company next.

As will his compatriot Qemah, who

became the third winner of the week, after Ribchester and Lady Aurelia, to follow up at the meeting a year on. The difference was that she, as heroine of the 2016 Coronation Stakes, was dropping down in grade, and stamped her class on the Duke Of Cambridge Stakes (G2) to see off Aljazzi and Usherette.

Al Shaqab Racing’s fouryear-old, trained by JeanClaude Rouget, is from the penultimate crop of Danehill Dancer, who died in retirement earlier this year.

The Gold Cup was a true thriller with the result decided by only inches between Big Orange and Order Of St George after 2m4f.

A win for either would have been a

satisfactory result, but at the line it was the public favourite, Big Orange, who repelled the actual favourite, the reigning champion Order Of St George... just. The pair’s slug-out took them 6l clear of last year’s St Leger winner Harbour Law. Big Orange, trained by Michael Bell, was the second high-profile winner of the week missed by injured Frankie Dettori, but his input was essential, according to replacement James Doyle.

Acting on advice, Doyle let his massive partner do his own thing, which meant being in front for most of the marathon. Order Of St George launched his attack late in the piece, but it was against a rival as classy and willing as himself.

The Gold Cup, Big Orange’s first try at 2m4f, was his first Group 1 success after four at Group 2 level, two Goodwood Cups and two Princess Of Wales’s Stakes. The six-yearold gelding is another of the sport’s durable globetrotters, having run with credit in two Melbourne Cups and two Dubai Gold Cups.

Bred by his owner Bill Gredley, Big Orange is the fifth Group 1 winner for Duke Of Marmalade (the others include 2015 St Leger winner Simple Verse), who left Coolmore four

The gelding is out of the Fasilyev mare Miss Brown To You, a half-sister to the dam of another globetrotting stayer in Red Cadeaux, that pair grand-daughters of the wondeful filly Al Bahathri.

Bill and Tim Gredley ended up the week as one of the leading owners – achieving a win, a second (Ronald R, Britannia) and a third (James Garfield, Windsor Castle).

The day opened with the first Ballydoyle juvenile winner of the week, Sioux Nation in the Group 2 Norfolk Stakes, giving Scat Daddy – also responsible for Con Te Partiro in the Wednesday finale – consecutive victories at the meeting.

Dubawi then repeated that trick, courtesy of Benbatl in the Group 3 Hampton Court Stakes and Coronet in the Group 2 Ribblesdale Stakes.

The Saeed Bin Suroor-trained Benbatl, three and a half lengths behind Wings Of Eagles when a creditable fifth in the Derby, was the first to emerge from the Classic and immediately franked the form with a narrow but decisive defeat of Prix du Jockey-Club sixth Orderofthegarter.

Benbatl is out of dual Gr1 winner Nahrain, a daughter of 1998 Oaks runner-up and Ribblesdale winner Bahr.

It will be promising to the year’s Classic form if the Derby results can be franked (see King Edward VII in Friday’s report) as so often runners from the Classic fail to reproduce again.

Likewise Coronet, from the John Gosden yard, followed her fifth in the Oaks with a Royal Ascot success, calling on her stamina to touch off Mori, and also turning the tables on Epsom third Alluringly on a more conventional track.

Homebred by Prince Faisal Salman’s Denford Stud, Coronet is a half-sister to St Leger runner-up Midas Touch and may also have the Doncaster Classic on her radar The closing King George V Handicap went to lightly-raced and progressive three-yearold Atty Persse, trained for Godolphin by Roger Charlton, and provided Frankel with his first Royal Ascot winner.

Friday: Caravaggio masterful

If Tuesday was Godolphin’s, day four belonged to the Coolmore team as Caravaggio and Winter, two shades of grey, took the afternoon’s two Group 1 prizes.

Caravaggio had been described beforehand

by Aidan O’Brien as the fastest he’d ever trained and turned hype into fact in a

The Commonwealth Cup was won by Caravaggio, the son of Scat Daddy. It might be the race to have the most long term influence on the future of British and Irish Flat racing and bloodstock

gripping running of the Commonwealth Cup. Winter confirmed her position as the best miling – and toughest– filly of her generation, adding the Coronation Stakes to her Newmarket and Curragh Guineas.

Caravaggio was last season’s top juvenile sprinter, unbeaten in four including the Coventry Stakes and Group 1 Phoenix Stakes, and after a nine-month absence warmed up this year with a straightforward but impressive success in Group 3 company.

His main rivals at Ascot were the Godolphin pair Harry Angel, trained by Clive Cox and Blue Point, saddled by Charlie Appleby, and the trio produced a spectacle to match the anticipation.

Trailblazing Harry Angel had seen off old foe Blue Point’s persistent challenge with half a furlong to go, only for both to be cut down

by Caravaggio, whose overdrive Ryan Moore engaged to perfection from off the pace.

The trio’s nearest pursuer, 3l back, was Lady Aurelia’s stablemate Bound For Nowhere, meaning the first four in the betting finished in market order.

Caravaggio is now six for six, and the Ballydoyle team have their first serious sprinter since short-lived Mozart, the champion of 2001. The colt’s victory gave the late Scat Daddy his fourth, and possibly most significant, success of the week, emphasising again what a loss to the breeding industry his early death was.

It was a race described by Moore as a possibly “exceptional” with “three very talented colts” filling the places.

For the future, Caravaggio will give the Coolmore operation a valuable outcross (free of Sadler’s Wells and Danehill), a fact recognised by supremo John Magnier.

“His was a very good performance, and came along at just the right time, just like the cavalry,” said Magnier. “He’s a better racehorse than Scat Daddy and it’s a cross that we need.”

It could be a very important result for the future of the European bloodstock industry.

Scat Daddy – a son of Coolmore’s Breeders’ Cup Juvenile winner Johannesburg, who stood at Ashford in Kentucky until his departure for Japan seven years ago – was a top-class juvenile and Grade 1 winner at three before an injury in the Kentucky Derby ended his career. His best have been sprinters, with Caravaggio, Lady Aurelia, Acapulco and No Nay Never – already in County Tipperary, with first runners next year – all dazzling at Royal Ascot.

Winter, a second Group 1 winner of the week for Galileo after Highland Reel, became

www.internationalthoroughbred.net

25

only the second filly to add the Coronation Stakes to her Newmarket and Curragh 1,000 Guineas, the first being Attraction in 2004.

She also led home her stablemates Roly Poly and Hydrangea for a Ballydoyle clean sweep, only the second by a trainer at Royal Ascot.

The first was also courtesy of O’Brien, in the 2007 St James’s Palace Stakes with Excellent Art, Duke Of Marmalade and Astronomer Royal.

Winter kept the meeting in the family. She is out of Laddies Poker Two, who had her day of days in the Wokingham Stakes in 2010 and is by Choisir, who won the King’s Stand and Golden Jubilee Stakes in 2003.

Like Caravaggio and the other star threeyear-olds, she will now take on all-aged company, an outing likely to come in the Falmouth Stakes at Newmarket.

The Derby form again came under scrutiny in the King Edward VII Stakes in which the Dante Stakes winner Permian (tenth at Epsom), a son of Teofilo trained by Mark Johnston, bounced back to see off Khalidi, who had fimished 14th in the Classic.

The afternoon’s other Group 2 contest was the Queen’s Vase (shortened to 1m6f).

Stradivarius stepped up from handicap company to lay down early St Leger credentials. The Sea The Stars colt will have one more run before Doncaster, according to trainer John Gosden.

The Albany Stakes produced a reminder that success at the meeting can be had

The Tin Man, bred by Elizabeth Grundy, is the best by the Newsells Park-based Equiano, himself a dual Royal Ascot winner cheaply and unexpectedly.

The winner Different League, trained in France by Matthieu Palussiere, cost just €8,000 as a foal and failed to sell at £14,000 when sent through the ring as a yearling.

The daughter of Dabirsim has remained with Irish breeze-up consignor Con Marnane as part of his French-trained string under the ownership of his wife Theresa.

He had his reward when his reject beat Irish hotpot Alpha Centauri a neck in the Group 3 contest.

And connections did not head to Royal Ascot just for a day out, Palussiere described her previous win in France as outstanding.

Some big plans are being harboured for the filly – possible autumn Group 1 targets and ventures overseas for the Breeders’ Cup.

Saturday: The Tin Man class

The week’s final Group 1 contest, the Diamond Jubilee Stakes, produced some worthy rivals for Caravaggio when he takes on his elders in what could be an amazing

July Cup at Newmarket in July.

The glittering three-year-old did look like the divisional champion elect, but the likes of The Tin Man, Tasleet and Limato – covered by a length at the end of their 6f – will ensure he knows he’s in a race.

The five-year-old The Tin Man, trained

by James Fanshawe for a syndicate at his Newmaket yard, already had a top-level success over course and distance, in the Champions Sprint last October.

His comeback, fifth to Tasleet in the Duke Of York Stakes on less suitable ground, put him spot-on for Ascot, where he produced a career-best performance.

In the absence of a dominant champion, sprinting is often a case of whose turn it is, and the first three, buffeted by a strong headwind as they ran bumping to the line, will undoubtedly clash again.

Tasleet ran with huge credit on his first try in top company and Limato, last year’s July Cup hero, had the least clear run of the trio.

The Tin Man, bred by Elizabeth Grundy, is the best by Newsells Park-based Equiano, himself a dual Royal Ascot winner in the 2008 and 2010 editions of the King’s Stand Stakes. The gelding’s half-brother Deacon Blues was also a smart sprinter, winner of the 2011 Wokingham Stakes, the pair out of the Bishop Of

royal ascot Cashel mare Persario.

A double for O’Brien ensured that he ended the week as leading trainer and that the Coolmore partners pipped Godolphin on the numerical owners’ table. Each outfit had six winners, but the “lads” from County Tipperary had seven runners-up to the blues’ six.

As a brother to Highland Reel, Idaho has always has big shoes to fill, and took another step forward in the Group 2 Hardwicke Stakes.

At three last year, he did not have the best of luck in top company, third and second in the Epsom and Curragh Derbies, and lost his rider when stumbling in the St Leger when travelling like the winner.

In the Hardwicke, he went one better than big brother, who was beaten a head

by Dartmouth in 2016. Idaho had that Royal runner back in fourth, with Barsanti and Chemical Charge intervening.

He looks set to thrive over 1m4f and further for the rest of the season.

If Friday was Winter in summer, Saturday was September in June. The opening Chesham Stakes went to the filly September, who quickened well to cut down trailblazing Nyaleti inside the final furlong and earn herself early favouritism

for next year’s Classics.

She has the pedigree to match her undoubted ability, being by Deep Impact out of the Ballydoyle stable’s four-time Group 1 winner Peeping Fawn.

classic round-up

Enable breaks Irish rule

Five of the six British and Irish Classics have been won by Ballydoyle, but the race that got away might be the result which will have most influence for the immediate future

T

he photographs on these pages feature various incarnations of the Coolmore colours of dark navy, purple and light pink… the Irish establishment having won five of the six Classics run in England and Ireland at the time of writing.

The only race which has produced a differing set of colours for the photographs was the Investec Oaks below, won by the

Prince Khalid Abdullah team of Enable, Frankie Dettori and John Gosden.

The fillies’ race is the Classic run so far which will probably have most immediate impact on the industry, Enable being a daughter of Newsells Park Stud’s Nathaniel.

The sire, a son of the all-conquering Galileo, was in danger of being thrown on the list of also rans by the bloodstock industry, because, horror of horrors, last year he had not been in a challenging position with his

first crop of juveniles for champion first-season honours.

He had nine winners last year from his first crop, no stakes winners and just two group-placed horses in Germany.

It was a season perceived as a disaster by the quick-to-judge sales industry and resulted in his yearling and foal results plummeting – his yearling average halved from 2015’s £108,442 to £57,210 with a corresponding fall in median from £57,750 to

classic round-up £45,225 in median.

His foal sales, on the back of his yearling prices, crashed – his first foals sold in 2014 for £89,2390; in 2015 that dropped to £29,959, while last winter just nine sold for an average price of £14,456.

The sire’s covering fee through from 2013 to 2016 had been held at £20,000, a price which left no profit whatsoever for the majority of last winter’s foal sellers.

Nathaniel’s stud fee was given a marginal reduction for this spring to £17,500. It has to be thought that Newsells, in the light of the above and the fact that the farm had just taken Mount Nelson off its books and sent him to Boardsmill Stud as a NH sire, would have considered reducing his fee even further to ensure Nathaniel would be an attractive prospect to breeders.

But the farm had essentially two connected things with which to keep the faith: 1. The sire’s first crop of three-year-olds had yet to run, 2. There was a very exciting prospect amongst them.

Enable won her first start on the All-Weather at Newcastle – a performance which resulted in Newsells purchasing Birdwood, an Oasis Dream unraced half-sister to Enable, for £150,000 That was, of course, Enable, bred by Juddmontem, but Newsells wpild have been in the know from the outset that she was a smashing individual and from a proper pedigree.

Last November, Enable won her first start at Newcastle on the All-Weather – a performance which resulted in Newsells purchasing Birdwood, an Oasis Dream unraced half-sister to Enable, for £150,000 two days later at the December Mares’ Sale.

Then post-race reports were all positive, but guarded – it is obviously difficult to know quite what an All-Weather maiden run in November would stack up to be (interestingly,

This year’s Oaks victory was a fourth win in the race for Frankie Dettori, his first since Kassia’s success in 2002.

It was a second victory for trainer John Gosden after Taghrooda in 2014, and also the second for Prince Khalid Abdullah – Reams Of Verse trained

by Henry Cecil his first in 1997

classic round-up all bar one of those who have run since have subsequently won).

Enable reappeared this spring over 1m2f in a conditions race at Newbury, and despite running keenly early on, finished third behind fellow Gosden trainee Shutter Speed. She was a subsequent winner of the Musidora Stakes (G3) and then fifth in the 1m2f Prix de Diane. The colt Raheen House, fourth in the King Edward VII Stakes, was also in front at Newbury.

Enable travelled to the Chester meeting to win the Cheshire Oaks over 1m3f, looking then as though 1m4f would be the perfect fit.

The predictions proved to be correct

...the glint in jockey Ryan Moore’s eye and the eloquence and admiration with which he spoke of Churchill, was, if the media had chosen to listen, revealing

and the Epsom race went perfectly for the Nathaniel filly, where despite the rain, thunder and lightning, she kept her cool and drew clear for a 5l victory from the Aidan O’Brien pair of Rhododedron and Alluringly.

Enable is out of the Sadler’s Wells Listed winner and Group 3-placed mare Concentric, an own-sister to the Group 2 winner and Group 1-placed Dance Routine, dam of the admirable Flintshire, a champion older horse in Europe and five-time Group and Grade 1 winner.

Her third dam, Bourbon Girl, was a runner-up in the Irish Oaks and Epsom Oaks, and dam of the Group 1-placed Daring Miss.

W

hile Enable’s result has provided something of a lifeline for Nathaniel, in many ways it was just more of the same – he is a son of Galileo as is Churchill, this year’s imposing winner of the two colts’ Guineas races. Winter, winner of the two fillies’ Guineas races is a daughter of the super sire.

Wings Of Eagles just gains the upper hand in the final furlong of the Investec Derby, and, below, the dual 1,000 Guineas heroine, Winter

Churchill for his Newmarket performance, in that his win did not provide them with a clear daylight victory to allow them to confidently announce clear superiority of his generation, the glint in jockey Ryan Moore’s eye and the eloquence and admiration with which he spoke of Churchill, was, if the media had chosen to listen, revealing.

He bascially reported that Churchill is a beautiful horse, with a floating action and the temperament of a star.

When backing up his Newmarket win with a more dominant victory at The Curragh ahead of Thunder Snow (the son of young Darley sire Helmet redeeming himself after his Kentucky Derby disaster, and proving that he is coping with a very tough spring campaign) caused a reassessment by many, and further smiles from Moore.

Churchill, who disapointed at Royal Ascot, will apparently be kept at a mile due to his speedy Airwave-Manor Farm-produced pedigree.It seems that soft ground is key.

His absence from Epsom opened the way for another O’Brien runner to gain Classic glory, and it was expected to be Cliffs Of Moher.

Indeed, right until the last furlong, it looked as though the son of Galileo would prevail, but, in the end, he was outstayed as Wings Of Eagles pounced under first-time Derby jockey Padraig Beggy.

Bred by Haras de la Reboursière and Montaigu and sold at Arqana for €220,000 to MV Magnier, Wings Of Eagles is the first

38

www.internationalthoroughbred.net

horse to win the Derby with an FR suffix since Sea Bird’s success in 1965.

Wings Of Eagles is out of the Kendor mare Ysoldina, whose best result came when third in the Poule d’Essai des Pouliches (G1). She is previously dam of two Listed placed horses, while her two-year-old of this year by Holy Roman Emperor was bought by the Hong Kong Jockey Club for €130,000 last summer.

She has a yearling filly by Kingman.

Ysoldina is a half-sister to Whortleberry, a joint top-rated three-year-old in France in 2003 when a winner of the Prix Jean Romanet (G2) Tipped each-way but not backed by our Epsom Derby and Royal Ascot London preview evening panelist, the Daily Mail’s racing correspondent and occasional International Thoroughbred writer Marcus Townend, Wings Of Eagles, is a son of the previous Derby winner Pour Moi and is yet another Classic-winning descendant of Sadler’s Wells.

Despite this hereditary line, he was deemed to be the

Ballydoyle outsider and was an unexpected 40-1 winner.

And while Enable has “enabled” her sire to retain his position at stud, Pour Moi has already been sent to the Coolmore NH ranks, standing at Grange Stud at a fee listed as private. He had retired to Coolmore in 2012 at €20,000, a sum that had slowly slipped to his last advertised fee in 2016 of €10,000.

What the season brings for Wings Of Eagles remains to be seen, and if he can continue to back up his Epsom success, he will certainly do his bit to help raise the profile of his sire. If he does not, then he has merely muddied the waters for a stallion needing to get some early high profile NH results on the board.

Rouget’s winning machine rolls on The Pau-based trainer produced Almanzor in 2016, and has found another Classic hero in Brametot this year

B

rametot managed to get his head in front in the final strides of the Prix du JockeyClub to win his second Classic of the season, and the second by a short head.

Few three-year-olds win two Group 1s before the end of June, Churchill and Winter are the only others to have done so in 2017, and even fewer achieve such a double by such small margins.

Brametot is an exceptional colt who has the advantage of being in the care of trainer Jean-Claude Rouget, by far the most successful Classic trainer in France in recent years, and the mount of jockey Christian Demuro who has won all of France’s Classic races since becoming first jockey to Gerard Augustin Normand in 2016.

Rouget has won eight of the last 15 Classic races run in France, André Fabre has won two, Fabrice Chappet one, British and Irish trainers three and the retired Jonathan Pease one.

Rouget has dominated France’s best races and remarkably all of these Classic winners

www.internationalthoroughbred.net

The serious viral problems, which claimed the lives of two of the Rouget-based horses over the winter, have been put behind the team this spring: Brametot, the Rouget-trained son of Rajsaman, won the Poule d’Essai des Poulains and the Prix du Jockey-Club.

The colt was bought as a foal

by Rouget to support the young sire standing at Haras de la Cauvinière

classic round-up – Brametot, La Cressonniere, Avenir Certain, Almanzor and Ervedya – are French-bred horses by stallions based in France. With the exception of the Aga Khan’s Ervedya, the others were all owned or part-owned by Augustin Normand.

Augustin Normand and his management team headed by Sylvain Vidal and Mathieu Alex have created a giant among racing and breeding operations.

In only ten years the team has made two stallions in Le Havre and Brametot’s sire Rajsaman, and in Almanzor and Brametot they have two of the most attractive future stallions currently in training.

When Le Havre retired to stand at the Haras de la Cauvinière in 2010 for €5,000 and Vidal began buying on behalf of Augustin Normand, few if anybody watching from the outside would have expected this team to outperform more or less all of their competitors.

Vidal purchased Brametot as a foal at the Arqana December Sale for €26,000 from Haras du Logis, while Rouget bought Avenir Certain from Vidal as a yearling for €45,000 and Almanzor for €100,000 from the Haras d’Etreham.

Brametot does not have an obvious Classic pedigree. His dam Morning Light is a half-sister to the multiple Group 1 winner and top stallion Monsun (Law Society), however, by the time her foal by Rajsaman went to the sales she was looking like a very disappointing producer.

Morning Light herself was a useful performer winning a maiden and a handicap at Cologne over 1m4f as a three-year old earning an official rating of 90.

In her first years at stud she was covered by leading sires in Germany and abroad including Acatenango, Pentire, Marju and Peintre Celebre, but met with very little success. Only one of her first six foals won a race – the Marju colt Mulan who was also second in a Listed race at Le Croise Laroche and was rated 99 by France Galop.

Morning Light was offered at the 2011 Tattersalls December Sale in-foal to Siyouni and was bought back for 28,000gns. The subsequent colt by Siyouni did manage to win a race, but it was at Saint Brieuc and he was never rated higher than in the low 60s.

Morning Light was returned to the sales in Deauville in 2013 carrying Brametot and she was bought by Johnny McKeever for €12,000 on behalf of the Chilean breeder Jorge Cardemil.

Brametot was born in Ireland and is not qualified for French premiums, but McKeever

Augustin Normand and his management team headed by Sylvain Vidal and Mathieu Alex have created a giant among racing and breeding operations and Cardemil decided to offer him as a foal in France nevertheless.

Morning Light was exported to Chile where she produced a colt by Manduro at the Haras Carioca.

rametot is the tenth foal out of his dam and was born when she was 17, and yet contrary to any reasonable expectations he is a champion, and one with a remarkable turn of foot.

Vidal was looking for foals by Rajsaman at the 2014 December Sale to support his stud’s new sire and he bought two – Brametot and Bosnormand for €26,000 and €38,000 euros.

Brametot has looked to be a very gifted performer from the day of his debut over 6f in Deauville last June when he came from behind to defeat the subsequent Listed winner Xaarino with the rest of a useful field 5l and more further behind.

He looked better still at the beginning of August when coming from last place to defeat the good stakes performer Incampo by 4l.

The rest of his juvenile campaign was a relative disappointment as he was beaten when long odds-on favourite for a Listed race in Deauville having failed to settle and pulling throughout the early part of the race.

Rouget gave Brametot a two-month break and brought him back to win a Listed at Bordeaux in October over a mile, but he had to struggle to beat ordinary horses after racing prominently through the race.

Rouget clearly never lost faith and it turns out that the key to Brametot is to allow him to switch off at the rear during his races, and the come with a late run. It is a style of racing suited to French-run races, but one which requires a jockey able to time his run with precision.

Demuro has proved to be well up to this challenge. Brametot made his seasonal reappearance in the Prix de Fontainebleau, the principle trial for the Poule d’Essai and a race in which his sire defeated Siyouni and Lope De Vega in 2010. The race was set up for Brametot with a strong early pace and he was able to race two and a half lengths clear

of Stunning Spirit for an impressive win, and one which persuaded Al Shaqab to buy into the horse.

Brametot’s two Classic wins were more complicated, the competition being stronger while there was not a particularly fast early pace in either the Poule d’Essai des Poulains or the Prix du Jockey-Club.

Both races were a triumph for Brametot, Demuro and Rouget, and must make for difficult reviewing for jockey Pierre Charles Boudot and trainer Fabre who were beaten a short-head in both with Le Brivido and Waldgeist.

Perhaps Le Brivido didn’t quite stay – the final 200m was run in 12.92 seconds, whereas both Le Brivido and Brametot had run the previous two splits far faster making up 4l and 5l on the leaders who covered these 400m in 23.46 secs. They ran the splits between the 600m mark and the 200m mark in something like 11.3 secs.

Or alternatively Le Brivido went too soon and too fast, or perhaps Brametot is just a very difficult horse to beat in a finish.

At Chantilly in the Jockey-Club the early pace set by the Aidan O’Brien-trained Taj Mahal was a sensible and even one.

At the top of the straight with just over 600m to run Brametot had only two horses behind him and was already being ridden by Demuro, some 8l behind the leader.

Waldgeist and Boudot were in sixth position, only 4l off the lead and about the only horse in the field still going easily, when Frankie Dettori and Rivet took the lead and go for home.

With two furlongs to run, while Brametot and Demuro were gathering momentum on the outside, Waldgeist and Boudot were trapped behind Be My Sherff and hemmed in on both sides by Bay Of Poets and Recolletos.

At a critical moment Boudot had to restrain his mount, wait and then switch around Recolletos.

In the final furlong both Waldgeist and Brametot were accelerating and took the lead together. In the final lunge for the line it was Brametot who had his head just in front.

Brametot quickened just a fraction of a second faster than Waldgeist, but then if Waldgeist had got a clear run he may well

classic round-up without any problem and was well on top at the finish winning by nearly 2l.

Precieuse is owned and bred by Ann Marie and Brendan Hayes and comes from a family developed at Knocktoran Stud, which includes the Classic-placed Massaat and middle-distance horses Scottish and Royal Empire.

Precieuse had won once and finished second on her four other starts before the Poule d’Essai, but she is clearly better over a mile and well suited to a fast-run race.

Chappet, who is based at Chantilly, is enjoying the season of his career to date and is in fourth place in the French trainers’ table with a 16 per cent winners to runners strikerate.

Brametot became the third horse after Shamardal and Lope De Vega in the 13 years since the distance was changed to win the Poule d’Essai and the Jockey-Club have been clear by the time Brametot hit his top speed.

There is little doubt that this was a highclass Jockey Club and the first three are worthy Group 1 horses.

In the 13 years since the Jockey-Club’s distance was reduced, Brametot is the third horse to win the Poule d’Essai and the JockeyClub after Shamardal and Lope De Vega.

Waldgeist defeated a high-class field including Wings Of Eagles, Best Solution, Warring States, Frankuus and Taj Mahal to win his Group 1 as a two-year-old and after being slow to come to hand at three showed a new dimension in the Jockey-Club displaying both speed and stamina.

Waldgeist runs in the colours of Gestüt Ammerland and is owned by a partnership between Ammerland, Newsells Park and Coolmore.

He is a son of Galileo and the Monsun mare Waldlerche, who was bred by Newsells and is owned in partnership by Ammerland and Newsells.

Waldlerche is a half-sister to Masked Marvel and Waldgeist is likely to improve further when racing over 1m4f.

Recolletos is a home-bred son of Whipper owned by Dario Hinojosa and trained by Carlos Laffon Parias. The easy winner of his three previous starts at three, Recolletos’s grand-dam Pharatta, a Group winner out of a half-sister to the Derby winner Shahrastani, was the first horse Hinojsa purchased when starting his racing and breeding in France.

First Classic success for Chappet

Neither Rouget nor Fabre were able to play a prominent role in the Poule d’Essai des Pouliches leaving the way for the outsider Precieuse to give her trainer Fabrice Chappet his first Classic winner.

pace and all of those who raced prominently, including the favourites Senga and Roly Poly, were unable to sustain their challenges at the finish.

The other well-backed horses included the Fabre-trained Via Ravenna, who looked like a non-stayer, and the German-trained Delectation, who was never going.

Precieuse and the runner-up, the William Haggas-trained Sea Of Grace, both came from behind, but Precieuse, who had never raced over further than 6f before, stayed the mile

The German Classic season is just beginning and the Mehl-Mulhens-Rennen (German 2,000 Guineas) run at Cologne at the end of May produced a close finish between the favourite, the Haggas-trained Lockheed, and two colts from the Andreas Wöhler stable, Poetic Dream and Empire Of The Star.

China Horse Club’s Lockheed, a son of Exceed And Excel, set out to make all only to be caught close home and beaten a head by Poetic Dream, Jaber Abdullah’s home-bred son of Poet’s Voice. Empire Of The Star, a son of Siyouni, finished fastest of all to be third.

Lockheed had been placed behind Churchill in a Group 1 at two and Wöhler’s two colts had both shown good form in France at three, so this was a well up to standard renewal.

The 1,000 Guineas run at Düsseldorf in June was won by British trianer Hugo Palmer with Unforgetable Filly. She is a daughter of Sepoy and was stepping up on Listed success at Musselburgh after a sixth behind Winter in the 1,000 Guineas.

Bred by Rabbah, she was sold at Tattersalls for 50,000gns as a yearling. Her Oasis Dream dam was a 6f and 7f performer, and a half-sister to the Grade 1 Beverly D Stakes winner Fire The Groom.

The current ante-post favourite for the Deutsches Derby, to be run in Hamburg at the beginning of July, is the Wöhler-trained Langtang, a son of Campanologist owned in partnership by his breeder Gestüt Fährhof and the ex-footballer Klaus Allofs.

The winner of the Winterfavoriten, Germany’s major two-year-old race, Langtang stepped up to 1m2f in the Group 3 Derby Trial at Baden Baden in May and was a comfortable winner from the

classic round-up French-trained Rebello and the Markus Klugtrained Kastano.

Langtang is a half-brother to the Group winner Lacy from the family of Lomitas.

The Hanover Derby Trial was won well

by Parviz, a son of Lope De Vega bought by Darius Racing at the Arqana Breeze Up in 2016.

However, three of the small field were knocked out of the race by a fall and so it is hard to tell how good the unbeaten Waldemar Hickst-trained colt really is.

The final major trial, the OppenheimUnion-Rennen (G2) was run in early June and gave the Klug stable a trifecta.

The race was won by Colomano, a son of Cacique, from the Shirocco colt Windstoss, Parvis at the Arqana Breeze Up Sale in May 2016. The son of Lope De Vega sold for

The Andreas Wohler-trained and Qatar Racing-owned Warring States, a son of Victoire Pisa who was purchased at the JRA Hokkaido sale, finished third.

August over 2200 metres at Düsseldorf and for the time being the leading contenders are Stall Ulmann’s Tusked Wings and Gestüt Röttgen’s Well Spoken, who finished together 4l clear of the remainder in the Group 2 Oaks Trial in Berlin.

Tusked Wings, who broke her maiden in the Group 2, is a daughter of Adlerflug whose second dam Turbaine is a half-sister to Urban Sea. The Jean Pierre Cavalho-trained filly had shown good form previously, finishing fourth to Well Spoken in the Winterkonigin Group 3 at two, but improved on soft ground and over a longer trip.

Her sire Adlerflug moved to Gestüt Schlenderhan for the 2017 season and has achieved remarkable results from few opportunities to date.

The son of In The Wings has only 22 threeyear-olds in 2017, but they include Tusked Wings and another useful filly in Lacazar.

Well Spoken, a daughter of Soldier Hollow trained by Klug, was making her first start of the year in Berlin. She made all of the running and was caught and beaten a short head in the very last stride.

Well Spoken’s full-brother was a useful winner over 2200m and she is likely to improve over the longer Classic trip.

Stallion success in Triplicate

The young stallions Bodemeister, Maclean’s Music and leading sire Tapit enjoy Triple Crown glory, writes Melissa Bauer-Herzog

I

n a year where almost every other division in US racing looks wide open, it seemed fitting the three-year-old colts followed that pattern this spring.

Twenty-three different three-yearolds won the 27 different Kentucky Derby prep races throwing the division into confusion every week.

Kentucky Derby winner Always Dreaming (Bodemeister) took an unconventional route to the Derby, running in only one prep, though it was a romp in the 100-point Xpressbet Florida Derby (G1) which earned him enough

44

www.internationalthoroughbred.net

points for a Kentucky Derby entry.

He went into the Derby as the favourite in a move that rewarded bettors, rolling to a two and three-quarter length victory to give one of the most famous trainer/jockey teams in the sport their first Kentucky Derby victory together.

Both Todd Pletcher and John Velazquez had won a Derby apiece in the last decade and have enjoyed other Classic wins together, but this was the first time the team won the roses on a horse trained by Pletcher and ridden by Velazquez.

Bodemeiser’s son Always Dreaming (right) gets the better of Lookin At Lee to win the Kentucky Derby, a first Classic success for the sire and for the trainer jockey combination of Todd Pletcher and John Velazquez (below, enjoying some champagne)

us racing A major question going into the Preakness Stakes (G1) was whether Pletcher could run a horse back on two weeks’ rest successfully.

A conservative trainer, Pletcher usually prefers longer breaks between starts so Always Dreaming’s Preakness challenge was an interesting test for the trainer.

The horse trained well coming into the race, but after going head-to-head with twoyear-old champion Classic Empire early in the race, he faded to eighth.

Cloud Computing, who had skipped the Kentucky Derby after finishing on the board in two prep races, took up the battle with Classic Empire to make it an entertaining stretch battle.

In the end, Cloud Computing won the duel by a head to become trainer Chad Brown’s first Classic winner.

The wins by Always Dreaming and Cloud Computing in the first two Classics were important ones for the younger stallion ranks with both by second-crop sires Bodemeister and Maclean’s Music, respectively, who have their first three-year-olds on the track this year.

For the fourth time since 2010 the sport headed to the Belmont Stakes (G1) without a Triple Crown on the line and, perhaps even more disappointingly, with neither the Kentucky Derby or the Preakness winners running in the race. It was the first time since 2010 that two different horses won the first

two legs of the Triple Crown and skipped the Belmont.

A few high profile scratches in the week put a bit more of a damper on the race with both Classic Empire and Epicharis coming out due to hoof issues. But even with those scratches, there was still a big field of 11 trying to take home the $800,000 winner’s share of the purse.

It was a wide-open affair with six horses breaking from the gate at odds of 10-1 or less, and the longest shot going off at under 24-1.

For most of the race it looked as though Curlin would have his third Classic winner in five years with Irish War Cry leading from the start. But, as recent history has shown, you can never count out a Tapit son, and Tapwrit proved that true when he collared Irish War Cry in the final furlong to win by 2l.

T

apwrit’s victory was another major milestone for Tapit in his already impressive stallion career – he became the first sire since Lexington in 1868 to 1871 to sire three Belmont Stakes winners in four years, and sixth to have back-to-back Belmont winners.

While Tapit didn’t have the Belmont Stakes winner in 2015, the sire did have the second place finisher in Frosted and in 2016 pulled off a first-third with Creator and Lani.

Cloud Computing is from the first crop of Maclean’s Music, a son of Distorted Humor. He ran just once, posting a Beyer Figure of 114, apparently the fastest figure ever posted on a career debut

Tapwrit goes clear of Irish War Cry in the Belmont stretch: the pair are by the leading US sires Tapit and Curlin

A $1.2 million purchase as a yearling, Tapwrit is the first horse bought at public auction for more than $1 million to win the Belmont Stakes since Rags To Riches in 2007.

While Curlin wasn’t able to get another Classic winner this year, he did keep a streak alive. The stallion has had a Classic-placed horse in all five of his crops, including two winners in Palace Malice and Exaggerator.

Even more impressive is that Irish War Cry is one of only 41 foals from Curlin’s 2014 crop, according to Equineline.

For Pletcher, this Triple Crown season was also a history maker.

It was his third Belmont Stakes win since Rags To Riches beat Curlin in 2007 and, ironically, his second Belmont Stakes victory came with Curlin’s son Palace Malice.

His mentor D. Wayne Lukas was the last one to pull off the feat when Grindstone and Editor’s Note won the first and third legs of the 1996Triple Crown.

Pletcher wasn’t the only one to have a great day at Belmont Park. Baffert is always a threat whenever he ships east and Belmont Stakes day was no different.

While the trainer didn’t have any horses in the Triple Crown series, he shipped four

46

www.internationalthoroughbred.net

A $1.2 million purchase as a yearling, Tapwrit is the first horse bought at public auction for more than $1million to win the Belmont Stakes since Rags To Riches horses to the Belmont Stakes Festival.

He teamed up with Mike Smith for all four races, all four horses won by a combined margin of 14l.

Included in those victories was the filly Abel Tasman, who won the Acorn Stakes (G1) on her first start back after winning the Kentucky Oaks (G1) for her sire Quality Road with another Quality Road filly, Salty, finishing second in the race.

Japan also earned a victory of sorts thanks to Baffert when Mor Spirit won the

Metropolitan Handicap (G1) by 6l.

The Japan Bloodstock Breeders’ Association bought Mor Spirit’s sire Eskendereya late in 2015 when he only had one crop of three-year-olds on the track.

Overall, Baffert’s entries won by a combined 14l with the trainer helping boost Bodemeister’s stallion resumé even more on the Belmont Stakes undercard.

American Anthem, who was already a graded stakes winner, won the Woody Stephens Stakes (G2) at 7f by 3l revealing how versatile a sire Bodemeister already seems to be.

Bodemeister’s four stakes winners this year (through the Belmont Stakes weekend) have won from 6f on Turf to 1m2f on Dirt.

His post-Derby success pushed the stallion to a private fee for the second half of the breeding season and also gave his sire, Empire Maker, the accolade of being the grandsire of two of the last three Kentucky Derby winners.

While Empire Maker stands at Gainesway Farm, his success as a grandsire has been a big boost for WinStar Farm, who stands the sires of both those Kentucky Derby winners.

Bar set high by Lady Aurelia Filly’s performance in the opening day’s King’s Stand Stakes gave her a Timeform figure of 135, the best posted at Royal Ascot since Frankel, writes Simon Rowlands

R

oyal Ascot is much more than a race meeting, but its international standing in that regard makes what comes with it – the pomp, the circumstance, the fashion and even the occasional fracas – more than tolerable to those interested only in the action on the track.

In terms of the action on the track, Royal Ascot 2017 was an undoubted success. It featured more Group 1-winning performances rated in excess of 120 by Timeform (seven of them)

simon says... than any Royal Ascot previously this decade, and it featured significant winners from France, the US and Ireland, in addition to those from the home defence.

Choosing a “performance of the meeting” in such circumstances is not easy, but the US challenger Lady Aurelia set a very high standard on the opening day with a scintillating victory in the King’s Stand Stakes and she never looked like being caught.

Her 3l defeat of the previous year’s winner Profitable earns her a 135 rating from Timeform, which is behind only the brilliant sprinters Habibti and Black Caviar – both of whom were rated at 136 – among females in that company’s long history and is the best at Royal Ascot since Frankel.

The time was strong, too, missing the record set by Miss Andretti in this race in 2007 by just 0.01 sec, though conditions were particularly fast on the Tuesday and other course records did fall.

Course records came in the Queen Anne Stakes, won by Ribchester with a 128 figure (had managed 131 in winning the Lockinge Stakes at Newbury in May), and in the St James’s Palace Stakes.

The dual Guineas winner Churchill (rated 126) disappointed in fourth in the latter, but the horse he beat at Newmarket, Barney Roy, looked much more the finished article this time, quickening sharply to beat Lancaster Bomber by a length: Barney Roy is now rated 128.

A major Flat racing festival in recent times would hardly be complete without the globetrotting Highland Reel, who turned up in the Prince of Wales’s Stakes on Wednesday and saw off all-comers with a 128-rated performance despite 1m2f being very much a minimum.

Royal Ascot 2yo focus

Rasjasinghe winning the Coventry Stakes, giving young trainer Richard Spencer, who has trained only nine winners, an early taste of Royal Ascot glory

Heartache a “superior” Timeform-rated winner of the Queen Mary Royal Ascot has seen some big two-year-old performances over the years, not least in 2016 from Lady Aurelia and Caravaggio. There was nothing of that calibre this year, but plenty to build on for the season ahead.

Timeform has rated Heartache marginally best on 111, which makes her a superior winner of the Queen Mary Stakes, if you ignore the outliers of Lady Aurelia (127) and Acapulco (116) from 2016 and 2015.

The Coventry Stakes success of Rajasinghe came in a bunched finish – less than three lengths covered the first eight – but in a juvenile course record on that sun-baked opening day and comes in at a figure of 110, a few pounds behind the usual winning standard.

Alpha Centauri had been the highest-rated two-year-old of either sex going into the Royal meeting, but had her colours

further from Ballydoyle to date than this course, at which he won the Coventry Stakes 12 months before, but there is talk of him taking in the Everest Stakes in Australia in October after his ready defeat of Harry Angel in the Commonwealth Cup on Friday.

That performance garnered Caravaggio a 125 performance rating, compared to the colt’s best figure of 129.

Top Australian sprinter Chautauqua, last seen winning the T. J. Smith Stakes at Randwick in April, is rated 127.

Australian raiders were notable by their absence at Royal Ascot this year, which made the winning of the Diamond Jubilee Stakes on Saturday, in particular, easier than it might have been.

The Tin Man put his best foot forward to beat Tasleet and Limato in a close and

50

rather rough finish posting a provisional rating of 125.

At the opposite end of the distance spectrum, that other renowned globetrotter Big Orange gained a Gold Cup win on Thursday in an epic finish with the previous year’s winner Order of St George.

There have been better Gold Cup winners (this was worth a 122 rating), but perhaps none as game, versatile and consistent as the popular six-year-old.

As far as consistency is concerned, Winter is beginning to build up an impressive résumé.

Her Coronation Stakes win on Friday followed on from 1,000 Guineas successes at Newmarket and The Curragh, all three of them worth form ratings between 119 and 121 and backed up by good times.

There was an early boost for

www.internationalthoroughbred.net

lowered by the French-trained Different League in the Albany Stakes, albeit by just a neck.

The pair came clear and their ratings of 108 and 107 are up to scratch for this race.

Sioux Nation (Norfolk Stakes, 107) and Sound And Silence (Windsor Castle Stakes, 102) were unexceptional winners by the high standards of this meeting.

September (Chesham Stakes, rating unfinalised) may prove better than that. The daughter of Deep Impact ran a fast time in defeating Nyaleti and Masar to add to a runaway win in a Leopardstown maiden on her only previous start.

Churchill won the Chesham for the same outfit 12 months earlier, and he hasn’t turned out too badly!

French-trained winners at Royal Ascot this year were restricted to Group 2 and Group 3 level, but Le Brivido’s Jersey Stakes victory, in which he overcame a possible draw bias, paid a significant compliment to Brametot.

Tattersalls-sponsored photography competition: the results We had 300 entries sent in from all around the world, featuring all sorts of differing thoroughbred, racing and bloodstock activities.

After the International Thoroughbred office and Tattersalls photographer Laura Green drew together a “long” short list, former professional horseracing photographer Trevor Jones whittled things down to a top three – his outline for choosing an image being “I wish I’d taken it!”.

From the top three, Fiona Mahony of Tattersalls very kindly picked out our category winners.

With many thanks to Fiona and Trevor for their help, and congratulations go to our amateur winner Pamela O’Rourke of Belmont Stud for “Hello There” (opposite) and to the professional winner Justin Snetterfield of Getty Images for his lovely shot of Laytown races (see overleaf).

We will be meeting both at the July Sale and interviews will be in our August edition.

A big thank you to all of you who headed out to take all those wonderful photos of such beautiful horses – we really enjoyed looking through them all – and thank you for taking the time to enter our competition. Very many thanks also to Tattersalls for the company’s kind sponsorship.

e’ve got used to watching programmes such as the Antiques Roadshow, enviously watching as lucky people describe how they have found beautiful and rare works of art in the garage, attic, cupboard, downstairs loo.

We rue the fact that there is no such treasure trove in our own house, conveniently left behind by some enlightened forebears.

But there is one family in Lancashire that has such luck, the garage being crammed full of artistic delights that is added to daily, that is certainly not covered in dust or hidden away behind rusting cars or left behind by long departed relatives On Abbey Road in Whalley in the Ribble Valley treasures are found and equine artist Jo Taylor’s parents are lucky enough to see wonderful art created everyday.

Taylor works from a converted garage at her parents’ house. From the outside, you would believe the space to be a regular home for the car, the large garage doors still in place; no outward sign that the car has been

Going to Omey was like watching horses for the first time – there was no interference of tannoys, grandstands, people, all the trappings of racing are taken away relegated to outdoor living.

On entry you are converted to another world. It is not quite walking through the wardrobe to Narnia, but the only thing you are missing is the snow. You are transported from a northern country town to a stage set of creativity in which Taylor’s large canvasses, at various stages of completion, are fully on show. It is fabulous dedicated space in which to work.

“I had to move studios four times in five

years,” explains Taylor, “it was so disruptive.

So we developed this space. This is a fantastic place, I never struggle to come and work here, I have clients come to visit and view the art here too.”

Taylor is an established successful equine artist, with a lengthylist of previous clients and patrons, and known for her large canvasses of work. Her no-nonsense “northern” approach to life is clearly revealed in her art that strives to take the basic essence of the thoroughbred, its indomitable spirit, and reproduce that on paper. Her latest collection, inspired by a trip to Ireland’s west coast and a day of racing on Omey beach, forms the backbone for her next British exhibition, which is due to take place at Thompsons Gallery, London in November.

“It was just a fabulous trip,” she recalls.

“Going to Omey was like watching horses for the first time – there was no interference of tannoys, grandstands, people, all the trappings of racing are taken away. It is just you and the land, a man, a horse and a few other people watching in a beautiful location.

“Yellow string was a big feature there… and sticks! The lads were working with the

horses on beach before, let them roll and wander into the sea afterwards; there was lots of bare-back riding.

“It is a mystical kind of place, on the beach, on the west coast with nothing between you and the States.

“I loved the weather, the feeling of the weather, the four seasons in one day and in one sky. It was stripped back and raw, there was nothing distracting; it was all about man and horse and the land, that partnership.”

That interaction between horse and human is an important aspect to Taylor, a rider herself, who first felt truly “free” when riding ponies as a young girl. At school her weekly art class offered the outlet she needed

Early days: Taylor’s work produced for her college degree when first allowed to paint horses

and allowed her to escape to her own world, and she completed her studies with a Graphic Design and Illustration Degree at Leeds Metropolitan University.

While struggling at college to get to grips with the illustration aspect of her course, Taylor found her life’s outlet as an equine artist after her tutor John Ross, who still acts as a vital mentor even to this day, offered her an escape clause.

“At college, my tutor asked, ‘What did I really want to do?’, and I thought ‘I can’t tell you!’

“Equestrian work is not encouraged at art college, there is some worry about ‘my little pony’ images and equine is frowned upon.

“Eventually I summoned up the courage to tell him – and he was so supportive. But he told me to go and draw from life, to get as much access as I could to horses and go back to him with a pile of drawings.

“So I used to go off to Wetherby racecourse, and then if I was not on a racecourse, I was in the betting shop watching races and drawing from the screen!

“I produced a degree show which was all about NH racing, not obviously, but it was the time of Sabin Du Loir and Desert Orchid, you couldn’t pick them out as individual horses, but they were an inspiration.

jo taylor “I did not go racing until I was at university, and then a whole new world opened up – it is not just horses, it is life, you see everything, it was a real eye opener.

“Racing is quite tribal, I do like that tribal aspect, and that is perhaps why I am drawn to Ireland, the people are nearly made of horse, it is like a religion.

“The thoroughbred is the modern working horse, and my work just brings some of that up to date. You have to ask what is the working role of the horse today, and racing is one of the few ‘job’ left for the horse.

“I enjoy examining that heritage of the man and the horse.”

Converting her passion into an earning career did not appear to be the struggle that some face and in her northern way Taylor says, “It was just one of those things that happened really.

“I thought I’ll just have a go. I took some work to a gallery, they showed a bit of interest, the paintings sold, so I thought I’ll keep going. I took work to London, it started selling there too. I started my relationship with the Thompson Gallery back then, and the gallery has been hugely supportive ever since. The company has embraced my development and I have been with the gallery now for 20 years.”

A

POSITION as artist in residence at the University of Liverpool Department of Veterinary Science at Leahurst was then offered to Taylor. It gave the artist the chance to see horses in the operating theatre, understand further equine anatomy. Telephone calls to yards and trainers gave her access to racehorses in training, a time which included a spell at Jackdaws Castle with David and Dinah Nicholson.

“Going to Middleham Moor, to the Nicholsons when it is just me, the horse and the land, I get that feeling of the heritage,

jo taylor “I don’t want to do any landscape painting, but I like to have evidence of land in my paintings, particularly of the elements and the weather.”

Taylor believes she is naturally shy and that her strong, positive style, encompassing big definite lines, is her way of expressing her true self.

“Being encouraged at art school to work from life made a massive difference,” she explains. “When working from life you are used to the animal walking around, you learn to work very quickly, and I think that’s made a big difference to the way I put marks down, you just have to whack the paint down!

“You can’t get too exact about it, the subject just isn’t going to let you do that.

“Also I guess I do always feel so excited when I see a thoroughbred that it comes out in my lines; horses are so beautiful, it just gets expressed on paper.”

And while she takes great pleasure observing thoroughbreds, reproducing her thoughts on papers she describes as a “struggle”.

“It is at times a curse and it can be a fight to get work completed,” she smiles. “It takes around three to four months to complete a painting, I will work on three or four pieces at a time, working to and fro between them.

“Sometimes I work on a piece one day and am happy with it, then return and look again and wonder why I thought it was any good at all!”

While Taylor does not wish to make big changes to her work, and does not wish to

alter either her palette or her scale, she has a new angle emerging this year – away from the equine.

It includes paintings of eagles, bears and even moose and elk taken from a trip to Colorado.

“We travelled to the Kentucky Oaks a bit back,” she says, “and went on up to the Rocky Mountain National Park where we saw elk and moose. It was all in there [she points to her head] but it has taken until now to come out.

“It is a bit of a change painting a moose, but I am pleased with the work, it is good to have a change of subject.

“It is not that I am bored with horses, but it is always very much a fight with a horse.

Your know how you want them to look, you want to do them justice and you make a rod for your own back; they are so beautiful, can you emulate that beauty, really?

“Doing a moose, is completely the opposite, but it has allowed me to come back to horses with fresh eyes, it has been helpful.”

Five pieces from the collection are shortly transatlantic shipping to the US to Greg Ladd’s Cross Gate Gallery. The work is sent overseas in tubes and is then framed in the US. The gallery sends the work on to Saratoga for July’s meeting and from there it will move to the Breeders’ Cup meeting at Del Mar. It will eventually end up at Keeneland’s Sporting Art Auction, organised by Ladd.

He collects works from all over the world, produces beautiful catalogue with a mix of contemporary and traditional work, and then

auctions all the items in the sales pavilion at Keeneland in front of an engaged audience in situ at the November Sales.

“I have been sending work out there for around 20 years and it is the fifth year I have been involved in the Sporting Art Auction.

It is nice to be in company of Munnings and Herring!”

It is exciting times ahead for Taylor, who was the first female to have work shown in the Jockey Club Rooms and regular paints commissions for a Who’s Who of the racing and bloodstock world.

Perhaps the studio in Lancashire will soon be in need further expansion to accommodate her future treasures and works of art?

Top, an eagle from the new work that will be on show and sold in the US this summer and autumn, and, left,Taylor with print maker Kip Gresham.

He jokingly told his client to tell us that having an artistic talent is not a “gift”, but rather a “curse” due to the agonies that artists have to go through when producing work to their own satisfaction

DIAR ENTRIES INCREASE AT FIRST CLOSING STAGE Entries were up, in the five international contests for Dubai International Arabian Races (DIAR), after the first closing stage.

The 117 possible runners (up on last years' 92), included the defending title holders in every Group 1 PA race, in Muraaqib, Sylvine Al Maury and Radames, as well as Foaad, winner of the international conditions race.

DIAR promotes Purebred Arabian racing worldwide from the grass-roots to the highest level, with the flagship event organised under the generous patronage of HH Sheikh Hamdan bin Rashid Al Maktoum. His homebred champion Muraaqib, has already opened his 2017 account with a Group 1 PA win in France on his reappearance and could re-oppose the second, Mehdaaf Athbah, who also holds an entry in the feature contest, the Shadwell

Dubai International Stakes, Group 1 PA. Shadwell Stud Director, Richard Lancaster was thrilled with the increase saying:"The DIAR prep races held across Europe, combined with the Bonus Scheme and travel incentives, have played an important role in boosting participation. We thank the owners and breeders for their support, and look forward to welcoming them to Newbury on 30th July."

ARO was also delighted with the rise as it continues the trend set last year for the highlight of their racing calendar. This is supported by the same development in the domestic races, as every meeting so far this season has seen an increase on 2016 figures, with more than half the races run having eight or more runners.

VICTORY FOR ANFAAS AT NEWBURY

After a successful first season, which included Group wins in the UK and overseas, HH Sheikh Hamdan's former retained amateur jockey Phil Collington, is challenging for leadership of the current ARO Trainers Championship.

Anfaas, ridden by Timmy Murphy for Phil Collington and HH Sheikh Hamdan, came with a well timed run to snatch victory on the line at Newbury in the fourth of five DIAR prep races to be held in the UK this spring.

Following two wins at Chelmsford City for reining Champion Trainer James Owen in the Hatta and Za'abeel International prep races with the Shadwell homebreds Naishaan and Alazeez, the series moved on to Chepstow for the stayers handicap prep.

There Collington scored with Difaa, also bred by His Higness, but now in the ownership of Nicola Thorne.

As Collington and Owen go head to head for the title, Anfaas put him in the lead once more and gave Grand National winning jockey Murphy, his first win on an Arabian.

A R A B I A N

TRAINER FILE: PHIL COLLINGTON

Now based at Brickfield Stud in Newmarket, he is readying his team for DIAR, which includes last years winners Radames (Za'abeel Intnernational Gr1PA) and Jamaayil (premier handicap) and has already won two of the five UK prep races with Difaa at Chepstow and Anfaas at Newbury.

The juvenile Group 2 PA race it supports at DIAR had the largest field on the card in 2016, which is encouraging for the growth of the sport in the UK. It was also the first DIAR contest to yield a bonus winner when the Endo Botti trained Urge Di Gallura, doubled up on his prep race win. Any horse placed in the first three of a prep race, who goes on to win a bonus race at DIAR receives additional prize money.

Picture hunting

We meet Sarah Farnsworth, the girl at the Goffs and GoffsUK Sales with the blond curls and the camera, who grew up in a Cotswolds art gallery and started her working life in the hunting field

Sarah Farnsworth’s photography work has extended from hunting to bloodstock, the girl from the Cotswolds now resident photographer at Goffs and GoffsUK (photo selection here)

S

arah Farnsworth has spent most of her life running around the countryside in the middle of winter in her wellies. She is paid money to do it, and has used her activity to open new career opportunities and develop her burgeoning business.

Farnsworth has taken a love of hunting and associated countryside pursuits, allied

that to her talent for photography, and turned it into an entreprenuerial career.

She is now seen at every Goffs and GoffsUK sale, meticulously recording and capturing the big moments in the sale ring and the activities around the yards, whatever the weather and whatever the circumstances.

Farnsworth was not brought up on a stud farm, instead she lived above an art gallery, and the breakthrough into bloodstock

photography came via a call from GoffsUK director Tim Kent.

“In 2011 Tim got in touch and said we need some photographs, I love your hunting stuff,” recalls Farnsworth. “I did not know him, but by coincidence we had gone to the same secondary school and knew similar people.

“He had seen my hunting work in Horse&Hound. I think he recommended that the company took a punt on me – I think he

sarah farnsworth

seems to be quite pleased that it has paid off.�

Breaking into the sometimes tense commercial world of the bloodstock business was not straightforward for the blond-haired girl from the Cotswolds, bloodstock people not particularly used to having some of their most important commercial moments of the year captured on camera. “I knew absolutely nothing about bloodstock and racing, still know very little,

I do like to try and portray from the grass roots level, especially at the sales and the grooms leading up – I like to show how much they love their horses other than what I have been photographing or see,” smiles Farnsworth. “I have got to recognise faces and names now, and learnt a little, and it was difficult to be taken seriously to start with.

“Obviously through the first year or so, lots of the people were asking, ‘Who is this? Who is this taking our picture?’

“When the top lots have gone through and someone is signing that docket, you don‘t know how brave to be… how close up you can actually get. Only when you’ve done the job for a little while do you know how much you can push; who likes the camera and who doesn’t. I never push it with people who are camera shy.”

In fact, Farnsworth feels that coming from a non-bloodstock background has actually been beneficial.

68

www.internationalthoroughbred.net

“Because I didn’t know so many people, I was able to be the fly on the wall and just keep watching it all, which helped and let me keep on pushing,” she says.

“As I was not so sure of the personalities, it meant my work was not just biased towards some of the ‘bigger’ players only, or who I should photograph on an editorial basis or for the sake of getting that specific person. It helped ensure a range of work and more of a documentary style, letting me get the shot with more of the artistic angle.

“I do like to try and portray from the grass roots level, especially at the sales with the grooms leading up and working – I like to show how much they love their horses.”

Her bloodstock portfolio has now extended to trips to Nass for the Goffs sales, stud farm and brochure work in England and Ireland.

It could be argued that Farnsworth’s career path was pre-defined. She grew up living above an art gallery in Moreton-in-Marsh in which “every available wall space is covered in pictures” and the love of hunting extended from a day out with her grand-father when she was 11 or so.

“Granddad used to follow the Warwickshire, the North Cotswold, the Heythrop on foot and in the car. He asked me to go with him one Saturday, and from then I was hooked.

“Mum and Dad are amateur

photographers and I started to borrow Mum’s old SLR and she didn’t get it back! That Christmas they bought me a camera of my own.

“I started with film with an old Milota camera, which did the trick. Eventually people started to ask me to do some photos of them out hunting – it was before digital and so it was a bit of a rarity to get someone out taking photos with more than just a compact.”

Hunting always became the subject of any of her school art projects, and the sport created a huge turning point in Farnsworth’s life in 2005.

“I did a Foundation Fine art photography degree at Cheltenham and should have gone on to do the full three-year degree, but I didn’t really want to.

“It was the year of the hunting ban in 2005 and I didn’t want to be away from hunting at home, I suppose I could have gone hunting in South Wales or somewhere but it would not have been the same as being based in the Cotswolds.”

Her father, keen to ensure that his daughter could find herself a career path,

If I see someone else photographing one way, I will turn around and do something in the other direction, something perhaps less obvious offered her two choices: he would either fund her through university, or help set up her in business – Farnsworth, despite her young age, set out into the world of self-employment.

“I was 19, and really I spent the first year going hunting here, there and everywhere and not earning anything at all!” she laughs, reflecting that it was probably to the exasperation of her father.

“It was not really until I hit my 20s before I took it seriously at all, but I had done so much

visiting around the country it had really built up an image base.

“In 2008 I started to get my first work for Horse&Hound, and it has snowballed really.”

Hunting is still an important part of her working diary and she is still frequently seen with packs around the whole of the United Kingdom running around after hounds, jumping on and off quad bikes and trying to get “the” shot of the day.

“I still love running round after foxhounds... I wish I was fitter!” says the photographer. “I do often jump on a quad, and I do always enjoy it when I see another photographer on same day. I set own little personal challenge, to try and get something different to what they are getting, “So if I see someone else photographing one way, I will turn around and do something in the other direction, something perhaps less obvious.

“But I love watching hounds work, and if I can stay out to the end of the day I will do. I can get some magical photos at the end of the day when everyone’s about to box up – lorry lights, sun setting, dusk up.”

sarah farnsworth Conversely, Farnsworth also loves the early morning starts when she is heading out to take stud shots.

“I like to try and be as creative as possible and I love to be left to my own devices. I was working at Gilltown Stud, in Ireland, and I got there at 4am!

“The stars were silhouetted against one of the bronzes of Shergar, it was beautiful.

“I stayed until sunrise, it was an amazing sky, I was so pleased that I picked that morning as there was a low mist by the trees, the sun came up, there were still a lot of horses out in the paddocks – it was magic, I loved it.

“I do enjoy my early mornings, the best shots of the day come before 10am as the light is best then.

“I was at Tweenhills in May a couple of

The sun was behind a tree, the mares and foals around underneath, there were shafts of light, it was fantastic. I was so very pleased that I did a little dance... years ago and went down the drive at 5am.

“The sun was behind a tree, the mares and foals around underneath, there were shafts of lights coming through, it was fantastic. I was so very pleased that I did a little dance – thank god no one could see me!”

Farnsworth started working in the pre-digital age and feels that starting out working with film has been hugely benficial to her creativity.

“Luckily I have that film background, I learnt how to manipulate images in the dark room. I’d probably look at a dark room now and think ‘Help!’, but because then you had to get it right first time around, it sorts of puts a discipline into you.

“With animals you do have to take a sequence of shots – there will be an eye shut, an ear back, sneezing or something ridiculous will happen – but it is good to ensure that you maintain a discipline and don’t just fire off

shots all over.”

Of course, the digital world has now been embraced by Farnsworth, and she selectively edits her work using software packages.

“I don’t overly edit, but you have to put a personal stamp on the images these days,” she explains. “Some photographers rebuff the whole idea of editing or processing, but you’ve got to keep ahead of curve, create a brand and put your own a stamp on an image.

“When people see one of my photos I want them to know that is a Sarah Farnsworth… that is what I want to try and encourage if I can.

“You need to edit in a style and keep that consistent each time so people do recognise it, it is a long process but it is important.”

She now works with her fiancé Adam, who is also seen out and about with camera in hand, the pair achieving two placed results in a photography competition at Aintree.

Wedding work also comes into Farnsworth’s remit, although it is done on her terms – only for people she knows or has connections to and only if she makes it more of a documentary, a story of the day and part of her fly on the wall style.

Farnsworth has never had a boss, as she says has only ever “worked for her clients”, but is making a pretty good job of running a business, working creatively and building a wide portfolio from two niche activities.

It seems that Dad’s initial “angel funding” investment is reaping its rewards.

equis gallery

A thoroughbred gallery

“A white horse is not just white, a black horse is not just black and a beautiful horse is not just pretty,” says Juliet Harrison, owner of the Equis Gallery in the Hudson Valley How long has Equis been in business?

In total three and a half years, I opened the gallery in February 2014 in one small room in an artist’s collective and primarily sold work online.

Within a few months I was able to expand in to another smaller room next door to the first.

I stayed in that space for a total of a year and a half and then moved in to a store front of my own that I have been in since September 2015.

What is your own background?

I am a Fine Art B&W film photographer who has used the horse as the main

subject of my own work for the last 20 years.

I have a long background in retail as well.

For a number of years I have been connected to the equine art world through my own rather non-traditional work.

For seven of those years I was the show director for Ex Arte Equinus, an International Equine Art competition sponsored by Art Horse Magazine.

Who are the main artists that you work with?

The gallery represents 32 contemporary equine artists from around the world, emerging artists as well as those established in the field. Most notably, Patricia Powers and Susan Leyland, but I give all of my artists equal representation.

Is it only equine work that you carry?

Is that restrictive, or it is helpful being so niche?

I specialise in equine artwork and equine artists. That said I do have some equine artwork by artists not normally known for equine work!

From time to time I also invite the equine artists that I represent to send me work depicting other animals. Mostly they are domestic pets, livestock and North American wildlife. I recognise that since I am a storefront gallery, not everyone who walks in will be interested in horses.

On the other hand, it has been incredibly helpful to have a niche market as far as online sales and destination visitors are concerned.

Since Equis is one of the only galleries of its kind in the world, if you google “equine art gallery”, you will find Equis, if not first,

equis gallery then certainly on the first page. I can focus on what I do and not worry about competing with hundreds or thousands of other galleries for a market share.

Who are the artists you really think collectors should look out for?

I absolutely believe that every artist I represent is equally worth collecting. And I believe that art collecting should be about owning art that you love and want to surround yourself with.

What will give you joy to look at every day?

I have several artists who are well known in the field, and many more who should be.

I am as excited by the work of Sydell Glasser, the youngest artist that I represent in the gallery, as I am by the work of Jehan Shahly, who is in her 80s.

Is it only horse / racing enthusiasts who buy equine work? Is the appeal broader than that?

I would say that most of the collectors who buy from Equis are horse lovers, especially those who find me online.

I do sell to art lovers who see beyond the subject and understand that first and foremost the work on sale at Equis is fine art.

Perhaps that is in part, because I do not carry traditional horse portraiture or sporting art.

What work is popular now?

Above, The Red Mare by Joanna Zeller Quentin, below, Gallop 2 by Benedicte Gele

I have been gratefully impressed by the number of people interested in purchasing work that is less based in realism.

It is not to say that people are not interested in the more representational work.

They are. But I sell as much that is not based on strict realism, and that is very gratifying to see.

What do you look for in an artist / piece of work to have in the gallery? What makes you have a “punt� on an artist?

I started the gallery by asking several of my equine artist friends if they would contribute work to see if I could make a go of it.

From the start, I knew that I would need to have a vision for the gallery that expressed my own point of view. It is too easy to try to do a little bit of everything‌ and too hard to do that well!

I have several criteria that I adhere to.

1. The artist must be expert in their medium, and that must be evident in the work

www.internationalthoroughbred.net

73

equis gallery 2. The artist must know the horse intimately, even if they are abstracting it.

They need to have a strong understanding of the equine anatomy and, even more, of equine behaviour. They have to start from that, to be able to convey that even in a work that is completely loose and expressive.

3. And this is the thing that gives the gallery a point of view and my vision – I have to want to hang the particular work in my own home.

So, yes, the work in the gallery has my aesthetic point of view. But, with just 850 square feet of space and 32 artists represented, it enables me to curate the space hung salon style, in a visual harmony.

I see the gallery as a partnership between my artists, the collectors and myself. All are equally important to make it all work successfully.

So while some of the artists began as my friends, others have become my friends since.

What sort of prices are the work in the gallery? Do you carry all price ranges?

I work hard to carry a wide range of styles, mediums, breeds and riding disciplines in the art in the gallery, and a wide range of prices as well.

I have original artwork, mixed media pieces as well as small oils for under $100.

The prices go up in to over $10,000 with all ranges in between. It is important to me that the grandmother of a horse crazy kid can find original artwork to purchase, as well as the experienced art collector.

What influence has the digital world had on equestrian art / your gallery?

Being able to have a website and to sell work through social media has literally made this gallery possible.

I can find new artists to represent on the internet, and I can market their work to the world, and do.

Through sites such as Facebook and Instagram, I find those interested in the work that I carry and am able to bring them to the gallery virtually and in person.

A number of my repeat customers have actually made the trip to the gallery, having found it on social media.

A gallery with such a specialised market could not exist without digital in this day and age. The cross pollination of the art world, is amazing now – people are gaining inspiration from each other.

Unfortunately, it has also led to

74

www.internationalthoroughbred.net

Magenta Silks by Alecia Barry Underhill

copyright infringement and illegal artwork reproductions, which is one downside to the internet.

In some way, it has also made it harder for galleries. In a market where so many artists are now able to self-market, the need for galleries is tenuous.

But I still believe that if galleries are there to market your work for you, the artist can spend their time creating, each of us having our own parts to play.

Is layaway (credit) helpful to buy art?

I think that layaway is very important for many collectors.

There are those who wish they could own artwork, but who are on a tighter budget.

Layaway allows them to be able to purchase art that they would not otherwise be able to.

My layaway policy has allowed me to form a circle of collectors who are thrilled to be

able to bring art in to their homes.

What interest do you feel there is buying art in general? Is it an affordable interest?

I think that there has always been an interest in owning art, at least for some segment of the population and I don’t think that it is necessarily related to wealth.

I grew up in a solidly middle-class family, but we had art in the home and we were taught to appreciate art.

There are always those who see art as just a way to decorate their walls to match their couch – those people will not see the need for an art gallery.

And those for whom the ownership of art work is a representation of their status – they buy only from auction houses and high-end dealers.

equis gallery But, just like me, there are many people out there who want to own art, who appreciate it, who see what it can add to their lives.

And, it certainly can be affordable. You can find amazing artwork at art fairs, over the internet and at galleries such as Equis.

There are places that offer high quality work to fit any range of budget.

I have collected art my whole life and have never had a big budget in which to do so. It is why I am dedicated to that wide range of price options.

We would perhaps have assumed you might have been in Kentucky? Is it better for business to be in the city?

I am in a small rural town 100 miles north of the city in the Hudson Valley. It is accessible those visiting from the city by car and by train and is an area with a very sophisticated population.

We have an agricultural base, but also many secoond-home owners and tourist visitors to the historic area, which is another reason why having an internet presence is so important for the gallery. I do not get a lot of random walk-in traffic.

I have lived here for the last 27 years and love it. It is the perfect mix of rural beauty and urban sensibility.

We are also half-way between New York City and Saratoga Springs, so it is an easy visit for New Yorkers going to or from the track in the summer.

How much of each artist do you have in the gallery?

The number of pieces I have by any given artist, at any time, ranges between one and many. It is based on what the work is, how big it is, framed or unframed, and what I have sold recently. Over time, an artist’s subject or interest may change and so the stable of represented artists shifts constantly.

Contemporary work only?

I specialise in contemporary artists, partly because over time I want to build a consistent collector base interested in an individual artist’s work.

But also I am not interested in competing with those who specialise in more traditional vintage work, nor do I have the access to the buyers of that work.

I am frequently contacted to sell vintage work, but don’t feel at this time it is a

Buckled by Sheona Hamilton-Grant

direction that I wish to go in.

I love having a relationship with the artist and sharing that excitement with the collector.

If I was offered a Munnings, Stubbs or Franz Marc to sell, I probably would not turn it down, but I am not sure I could do it justice.

Advice for aspiring artists?

First and foremost, create what you love, put your passion in to it, and don’t think about selling the work until you have finished the work.

Let yourself develop a portfolio of work before you try to market it, you don’t have to narrow down your subject or mediums, but within those, create bodies of work, not just one off pieces.

You don’t have to be brilliant every time, but you do show your own voice in the work.

Don’t copy others and don’t create just for a market.

You will not get rich being an artist, know that from the beginning, but, what you can get from letting yourself express, is without price.

And if that shows in the work, if your voice and your passion shows, someone will see that and want to share in it.

Are your artists global?

My artists come from the US, Canada, UK and Europe. I have been fortunate enough to sell work beyond the US borders as well, including to Europe and as far as New Zealand.

Do you work closely with the artists?

What is the relationship?

I view the gallery as a partnership with the

www.internationalthoroughbred.net

75

equis gallery artists. I even have a Facebook group so that I can share information and updates with the artists, I enlist their thoughts and ideas when I have need.

What I don’t ever do is tell the artists what or how to create the work. I only want to work with self-generated pieces.

Th work produced are not commissions for me, nor are they in any way directed by me. I will ask artists for new work or they will contact me when they have some for me to see that is already completed.

I feel strongly that the Equis Art Gallery should be known for work that steps outside the box of traditional expectations of equine art. To do that, the artists need to be unfettered by even my expectations.

Is business good at the moment?

As with any new business, it takes time to build a reputation, but I think that it is definitely well on the way to that.

I am so gratified that my concept for this gallery seems to be of interest to the art buyers and horse lovers.

I long believed there was a market for what I am doing and it seems to be so. I expect the business will continue to evolve over time.

And I hope, to expand in time to a larger space so that I can carry more artists and larger work.

I am currently limited to 850sq feet, which means that I do not carry work larger than

30x40inches, and not many of those either.

Luckily, many of the artists that I work with do larger work and I can at least direct my customers to larger work directly from the artist.

I would love to have the wherewithal to have satellite galleries in various equestrian venues in the US. To be able to represent the work on the road, where the interested buyers may be.

Upcoming events at Equis On July 15, the Equis Art Gallery will have a booth with artwork at the Victory Cup Farm Bash and Polo Match in Patterson, New York.

The Equis Art Gallery will be represented with a booth at Equestricon 2017. This is a first time three-day event for thoroughbred racing fans in Saratoga Springs, New York, August 13 – 15.

Museum makes significant impression In just its first year after reopening, the National Horseracing Museum has been nominated as a Museum of the Year.

Marcus Townend meets Ami Cosgrave and hears of the exciting progress made at Palace House

I

F you believe that a museum in Newmarket is all about horseracing, think again. Everything has changed.

Far more than just the address. What once was a collection guaranteed just to fascinate racing diehards is, appropriately, history.

Just over 30 years after trainer Bruce Hobbs retired and the last horse ran from his historic Palace House Stables, the site has been transformed into the National Heritage Centre for Horseracing and Sporting Art and a town that exists for producing winning equine

athletes has another success on its hands.

All of the old exhibits are still there, including the revolver Fred Archer used to kill himself and the hoof of Crepello, the first of Lester Piggott’s nine Derby winners in 1957.

But moving away from the cramped premises next door to the Jockey Club Rooms on the uninspiring High Street to a new spacious base has enabled the creation of a modern attraction that is proving to have much wider appeal.

Interactive exhibits both demonstrate the physiology of racehorse and bring the sport’s

rich history and royal connections to life Clare Balding, former jockey Hayley Turner and trainer Nicky Henderson are among the contemporary racing figures who talk you through your tour of exhibits.

But it is the art and exhibitions that have created fresh dimensions.

Linking up with the Sporting Art Trust has created a vehicle to show works that were previously archived and locked away.

As well as the Heritage Centre, the adjacent historic Palace House, once the Newmarket retreat of King Charles II, is now a gallery

housing pictures on loan from both the Victoria & Albert Museum and Tate gallery as well as private collections.

A series of iconic and stunning sporting photographs by Chris Smith with images of Muhammed Ali and Seve Ballesteros, hanging alongside those of Piggott and Sir Henry Cecil, currently occupies the main gallery.

But in August, this “Gods of Sport” exhibition will be replaced by a collection of paintings by Alfred Munnings, one of Britain’s best known and respected equine artists.

Such has been the impact that

Newmarket’s new attraction has generated that on July 5 it could become the first sporting museum to be selected as the Art Fund’s Museum of the Year.

Just to make the shortlist alongside The Lapworth Museum of Geology, Birmingham; Sir John Soane’s Museum, London; Tate Modern, London, and The Hepworth Wakefield is an achievement in itself.

Ami Cosgrave, marketing manager, said: “It is a huge accolade to everyone who has worked on the project and a massive feather in

Armstrong WIR bursary success

Elizabeth Armstrong and her vibrant and expressive equestrian paintings, drawings and limited edition prints have become a regular feature seen at racecourses across the UK. She is currently Artist in Residence at Windsor and can be found supporting many charity events throughout the summer. Most recently two of her works were auctioned in support of the Oxford Transplant Foundation, as part of MA Assist’s Charity Golf Day, which raised over £2000.

This autumn her artwork will be helping to raise money for Racing Welfare and HEROS at their annual Charity Ball before her focus turns to the winter game.

She will be at Newbury for the Hennessey fixture (renamed the Winter Carnival), and has a stand at every Cheltenham meeting, where many of her paintings adorn the new grandstand.

In December she was awarded the Christmas Bursary from Women In Racing to help fund her next big project, an exhibition in St James, London in 2019.

Armstrong commented: “I am really grateful to the WIR bursary.

“This sum of money will enable me to secure gallery space in London to exhibit my work, and hold an exhibition in 2019 to complement the existing collections.

“I would not have been able to achieve this without the bursary and it will play an essential part in helping me develop my commercial art collection”.

the cap of racing being the first-ever sporting museum to be nominated.

“It goes to show we have such an important and significant collection here and people actually recognise that. It is unique and the offer is so broad and so great that we have been recognised as a nationally important museum. It is really exciting.

“Just being nominated as a finalist has put us on a national stage. But if we can win, it would take us to the next level with potential for international recognition. It would be the crowning glory for the small team which worked so hard to get the museum open.

“Our offer now is much more than it used to be. Before, with the old museum, you had to be a racing fan to come and visit. It was very much focussed on horseracing.

“But now we have got the sporting art, temporary exhibitions and the live horses, we now have a much broader appeal. There are so many activities for children, both with the horses and in the museum.

“We are working with the schools so that from grass roots they are learning about the town’s history and heritage, and so much more than just horses. There are some amazing stories.”

What brings the Heritage Centre to life more than anything is its interactive activities.

Would-be jockeys from local schools can get a feel of what it can be like to sit on a racehorse when it gallops; in the restored Rothschild Yard, visitors can get close to ex-racehorses.

Current residents include David Pipe’s chaser Our Vic and Chris Wall-trained Premio Loco, whose 16 wins, most of them when ridden by George Baker, included the 2012 Winter Derby.

Visitors, who have been given an opportunity to get close to a racehorse for the first time, have been known to break down in tears.

The Heritage Centre received £5 million of Heritage Lottery Funding, plus support from both Forest Heath and Suffolk County Council, but the majority of financial backing was private donations.

The figures since it was opened by The Queen in November are encouraging. Already 16,800 people have visited and the hope is that that number will rise to between 35,000 to 40,000 for the first 12 months.

That compares to only 12,500 who visited the old museum. Furthermore, it is estimated the Centre should bring £2m annually to the local economy.

Cosgrave added: “It is hugely important to the town. It is bringing in tourism so has economic benefits. But it also showcases the history of the town, the facts it has such an amazing royal connection and has done for nearly 400 years.

“All that is brought to life and also been opened up to residents who can understand it and, maybe learn why horseracing plays such a massive part in the town.”

photo of the month: the last dance by equinecreativemedia

a working relationship spanning 25 years between Sheikh Mohammed (centre) and former CEO John Ferguson (right) has ended – the pair have gone their separate ways after Ferguson handed in his notice at the beginning of June. The move came after the negative comments made by Godolphin trainer Saeed bin Suroor were printed in the Racing Post after Epsom Derby weekend.

This photo shows one of the very last moments the Sheikh and Ferguson were together on a racecourse, ahead of the Woodcote Stakes in which Cardsharp (Lonhro), trained by Mark Johnston for Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed Al Maktoum, finished second.

It seems Ferguson’s role may well be split once again. Joe Osborne’s interim CEO role has become permanent, but there will possibly be a further divison of bloodstock and racing roles, the whole possibly being too much for one individual. Osborne was formerly Godolphin’s managing director in Ireland.

Aside from the human resource issues currently swirling around the Godolphin organisation, there certainly needs to be assessment of the two-year-old strategy. Whether Bin Suroor is right or wrong to essentially accuse his former work colleague of sending him the lesser two-yearolds, (he intimated that it was a purposeful move), if looking back to the “glory” days of Godolphin, its best horses have never been leading twoyear-olds. Rather they bestrode the world as older types – Halling, Mark Of Esteem, Dubai Millennium, Swain, Daylami. Would it really be so bad to have “backwards” types such as these to train? Does backward always translate as lesser?

Maybe the organisation’s push for leading early Royal Ascot juvenile success has been to the detriment of the whole, perhaps its past system system or style of training was not necessarily set up for two-year-old glory? Particularly if the ongoing stakes race performances of its recent top two-year-olds as older horses are examined: how many have gone on to greater glories?

It is also farirly ironic that at Royal Ascot the team enjoyed its best run of high level form for ages, and Charlie Appleby’s juvenile Sound And Silence won the Windsor Castle Stakes.

First, let’s hope the good times continue as success for Godolphin offers much to the Flat racing and bloodstock world.

Second, it’s probably best to put the whole affair down to a good old-fashioned spat / jealousy between rival trainers.
