Welcome to our mid-year edition of International Racehorse Magazine. This 16th edition marks the 4th anniversary of one of my favourite magazines to put together. Over the last 4 years we have experienced so many amazing events in some of the most spectacular racing settings around the world. What stands out though, is the many passionate racing connections we have had the pleasure of meeting and befriending. Thanks to everyone who has supported and guided us along the way. On to this issue. The spectacular Dubai World Cup left the world in awe as California Chrome started from a wide draw to leave the competition behind and set a new course and earnings record. It is one of the most thrilling stories in racing’s recent history and one that we have followed from the start. Michele MacDonald relives that night at Meydan on page 32. We round-up the American Classics with what had everyone reliving the magic of 2015, only to be reminded of just how difficult Triple Crown glory is to achieve. Michele’s report on the Kentucky Derby, Oaks and the Preakness Stakes is on page 42. Michele ends off her contribution with a look at the Industry Leading Sire, Tapit, Anthony Beck and the famous Kentucky Gainesway Farm on page 76. Bunny Hinzman visits the home of the Prix de Diane to take a look at some of the grand history surrounding the picturesque Chantilly on page 89. Liesl King travels to Epsom Downs for one of the world’s biggest race days, The Investec Derby, read more about it on page 38. Liesl shares with us her experience from the rest of the Dubai World Cup on page 94. South Africa sees another Triple Crown winner in the form of Abashiri, the full story on page 14. There is a lot more to get through so I won’t keep you any longer. For now we look forward to one of South Africa’s most famous race days, The Vodacom Durban July, full coverage of that and news from around the world in our September edition. See you around the track.

ABASHIRI TRIPLE CROWN CHAMPION Abashiri is a seaside town on the island of Hokkaido in the Okhotsk area. The town is renowned for its ‘drift ice crab’, three varieties of crab that can be caught for a short period of time when the drift ice recedes. A bright orange in colour, the ‘drift ice crab’ is known for its extraordinary meaty flavour, developed while the crab spend the long winter months under the drift ice, dining on high quality plankton. The crab season reaches its height at the end of April and into early May, when the town of Abashiri holds its annual ‘Spring Season Festival’. With huge quantities of crab being offloaded daily at the Abashiri port and more than thirty restaurants in and around town serving crab, it is indeed a sea of orange.

INTERNATIONAL RACEHORSE

bashiri is also a racehorse and 14000 km away, surrounded not by the Indian Ocean and drift ice, but by dusty mine dumps, Turffontein Racecourse in Johannesburg also took on a decidedly orange glow on the 30th of April. It may not have been a crab eating festival, but it was all about Abashiri, except this Abashiri was a bright bay gelding with a star, a stripe, a snip and three white socks. And he was aiming for greatness; to become only the third horse in South African racing history to win the Triple Crown. Bred by the Lammerskraal Stud from the Elliodor mare Donya, Abashiri was sired by their resident stallion Go Deputy. Donya, a half sister to Yard Arm, Equus Horse of the Year in 2003, had already produced a black type performer in Drift Ice, a colt by Western Winter. With the town of Abashiri being the only place where one can see the drift ice from the shore, the new colt promptly acquired his name. Abashiri was entered on the 2014 Bloodstock SA National Yearling Sale and knocked down to Mike Azzie for owner

INTERNATIONAL RACEHORSE

Adriaan van Vuuren for R400,000. Van Vuuren and his wife Rika were new to the racing game, having only bought their first racehorse in 2012, but they had been surrounded by horses all their lives. The Van Vuurens own Misty Meadows, a state of the art equestrian venue and home to many of the top competitions in the country. Their only involvement with horseracing came in the form of a yearly visit to the Vodacom Durban July. It was these annual visits that sparked a dream in Van Vuuren to one day own a Vodacom Durban July winner. After a discussion with Rika, he decided to attend the Bloodstock SA Ready To Run Sale in Germiston in November of 2012 to see how one goes about buying a racehorse. Living in Flaming Rock Street, Van Vuuren wanted to buy something related to the legendary racehorse and the only horse that fitted the bill was Lot 48, a filly by Jet Master out of a grand daughter of Flaming Rock, named Mystical Star. Van Vuuren had to go to R1,500,000 to acquire the filly. Consternation ensued as Van Vuuren, when signing for his buyerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s card, had indicated that he only intended to spend

R100,000. How was he planning on settling the price of the filly was the polite enquiry? Van Vuuren explains just how naïve to the whole business of buying racehorses he was in those days. “I told them it was no problem and if they brought me a computer I would do the transfer immediately, which I did. Then this guy asked me which trainer I would be using. I told him I was going to take the horses to the farm and would train them there. He said that wasn’t possible and I needed to find a trainer. I wanted somebody who would really care for the horses and this guy told me he had an ideal trainer and introduced me to Mike Azzie. The whole experience was quite a rude awakening. But from there the interest grew and the horses grew in numbers.” It was the start of a relationship that would ultimately lead to the bright bay gelding called Abashiri. Decked out in Van Vuuren’s colours of orange with black crossed sashes, Abashiri debuted at Greyville racecourse on the 30th of May 2015. Unchallenged, he cantered home to win by 1.25 lengths. Azzie knew he had a good one on his hands and Abashiri next lined up in the G1 Premier’s Champion Stakes over 1600m for two-year-olds, finishing a respectable third behind

Rabada, less than a length back. His first start at Turffontein came in the G2 Investec Dingaans, where he again finished in 3rd, this time behind Noah From Goa. Abashiri’s next start would be the first of a five race winning streak and the start of an amazing partnership with jockey Karl Zechner. Cantering away with the Listed Sea Cottage Stakes by 2.5 lengths under Zechner, Abashiri was added to the list of ‘top three-year-olds to watch’. His next graded start would be in the G2 Bettingworld Gauteng Guineas, the first leg of the Triple Crown. Abashiri and Zechner duly obliged, winning by a staggering 2.5 lengths from Champagne Haze. The second leg looked even easier as Abashiri dominated proceedings winning the G1 SA Classic by 3.5 lengths in a clinical fashion, this time beating Brazuca. Few, including Zechner knew of the drama that had unfolded in the run up to the Classic. Azzie explains. “Three weeks before the race I received a call from my son, saying ‘Come to the stables quickly - we’ve got a problem.’ “The horse had hurt himself badly and I didn’t think he would INTERNATIONAL RACEHORSE

get to the racecourse.We poulticed him for a week and then it was eight days of box rest. He only had ten days’ work and I was really worried. I phoned Adriaan straightaway and he nearly bit my head off but it all worked out perfectly.” Next up was the G1 SA Derby over 2450m. 650m more than Abashiri had ever run. And as can happen to the best of the best, things did not quite go according to plan. On a course decked out in orange and black, Abashiri made his entrance to the chants of “Go Abba Go”. He stalked around the parade ring, neck arched, looking the picture of rude health, before cantering down to start in exemplary fashion. From the jump Zechner settled Abashiri well back, with only two behind him as stable companion, Scheme Of Things, set the pace up front. Approaching the home straight, Abashiri was still 12 lengths behind his pacesetter. Entering the home straight Zechner decided that it was time to go. He brought Abashiri wide and the gelding quickly accelerated, making up the lost distance. With 300m to go,

INTERNATIONAL RACEHORSE

Abashiri hit the front down the standside rail. Yet just as the crowds started to cheer him home, Rocketball living up to his name, came flying up to challenge the champion. Abashiri was in trouble, but the gelding dug deep and as Zechner, face buried in his mane, urged him on, he kept fighting and reached the line 0,4 lengths in front. It was enough. Abashiri had won the Triple Crown; only the third horse to do so after Horse Chestnut in 1999 and Louis The King in 2014. There is an old saying that we do not choose our horses, they choose us. And in a way, this rings true for Abashiri. From a town famous for its orange crab to a Triple Crown champion racing in orange. It is a story with twists and turns, a story of a champion who defied the odds, but above all it is a story of one man’s love for his once in a lifetime horse. The picture that is forever etched on my mind from that day is not of Abashiri in full stretch reaching for the line, but of Adriaan van Vuuren, hugging the gelding as he cried tears of joy into his mane. After all that is what racing is all about.

ven as the horses pounded down the stretch, with America’s hero, the flaming red California Chrome, surging to the lead, it still was not immediately clear how unusual and exceptional this race was to be.

The reality did not sink in until some moments later, after California Chrome’s jockey Victor Espinoza dismounted following his gallop out from a victory that not only set a track record of 2:01.83 for the 2000m but also established an all-time earnings record of $12,532,650 for any horse based outside of Japan. As Espinoza adjusted his tack, the eyes of the racing world could see what he and California Chrome had overcome on the mild desert evening of March 26. This triumph by the horse who already represented the foremost Cinderella story

California Chrome and Victor Espinoza

INTERNATIONAL RACEHORSE

As California Chrome completed his exercise, rider Dihigi Gladney called over jockey Victor Espinoza and jokingly told him if he was going to be the hotwalker for the team, he had better keep up. They laughed and joked on their way back to the barn, Chrome seemed to be enjoying the camaraderie too.

in the sport—being sired by an unknown stallion standing for only $2,500 and initially raced by owners who called themselves the “Dumb Ass Partners”—was nothing short of monumentally epic. Not long after departing the starting gate, California Chrome’s saddle began slipping. By the time he strode to the finish line, it had drifted to the middle of his back, with the girth sliding even farther toward his flank and pinching some of the most sensitive parts of his belly. How Espinoza managed to stay aboard and strongly urge the five-year-old, who could have flagrantly and disastrously objected to the girth position, past pacesetters Mshawish and Special Fighter and then maintain his edge over a late challenge from eventual runner-up Mubtaahij is remarkable. “I was just trying to keep my balance and not move my body,” Espinoza reflected. “I thought ‘uh-oh.’ Down the stretch it got worse and worse, and I was thinking ‘where’s the wire?’ “I didn’t want to get out of balance, because it wouldn’t have been pretty,” he added. For Espinoza, the 11th child in a family of 12 who drove a bus

in Mexico City when he was a teenager to pay for jockey school, riding feats have become almost the norm. He won five of the six Triple Crown races run in 2014 and 2015 in the United States, steering California Chrome to Kentucky Derby and Preakness Stakes success two years ago and then guiding American Pharoah to the first Triple Crown sweep in 37 years. Earlier in his career, Espinoza also won two-thirds of the Triple Crown on War Emblem, and he brings a unique joie de vivre as well as chutzpah to racing. On several days of the week prior to the Dubai World Cup, Espinoza walked beside California Chrome and exercise rider Dihigi Gladney on the long journey from the quarantine barn to the track and back, at times exuberantly waving to onlookers and clearly enjoying the prelude to the world’s richest race. His upbeat yet keenly competitive spirit meshes with mounts like California Chrome and American Pharoah and had to be a factor in his ability to maintain balance and momentum while the saddle was slipping in the Dubai World Cup. “Victor did a fabulous job,” praised trainer Art Sherman, who was a jockey for 23 years prior to taking up training. “When your saddle slips, it makes you move backwards on

No words needed...poetry in motion: California Chrome under Dihigi Gladney

a horse (and it is difficult) to keep control.” Sherman paid tribute to California Chrome as his “horse of a lifetime.” The son of Lucky Pulpit broke like a shot from post 11 in the field of 12 and rated kindly for Espinoza just off the early pace set by multiple Grade 1 winner Mshawish and locallybased Special Fighter. Once the field rounded the far turn and Espinoza asked California Chrome for his best, the chestnut splashed with a blaze and four white legs quickly spurted away from his rivals with a powerful, sustained run to the finish, never appearing off balance despite the precarious saddle position. “It’s alchemy in Dubai; Chrome turns to gold,” Meydan announcer Terry Spargo proclaimed. Indeed, the victory was golden for everyone connected with California Chrome. Co-breeder and co-owner Perry Martin was on hand to celebrate with his new partners, the team from Taylor Made Farm in Nicholasville, Kentucky, who last year bought out cobreeder Steve Coburn’s 30% position. The Taylor family then sold shares in the horse to their clients, a diverse group including Japanese breeder Dr. Masatake Iida and Kentucky stalwarts such as Marie Jones and Town and Country Farms.

All the breeders who have invested in California Chrome are sharing in his racing fortunes as well as preparing to support him in his stud career, which may begin in 2017—unless the owners decide to try for the Dubai World Cup yet again, which they have hinted could be a possibility. Although initially not overly enthusiastic when California Chrome’s original owners opted to run in the 2015 Dubai World Cup, Sherman—who will be 79 this June 15—and his son and assistant, Alan, took on the challenge with aplomb. They both were relaxed and happy while in Dubai, particularly this year, demonstrating an attitude that showed how well the horse adapted to the desert environs and thrived in his training. Learning from the 2015 experience with a relatively late arrival at Meydan that offered less of a chance to acclimate, the Shermans sent California Chrome to Dubai in January this year, following a pattern similarly utilized by another record-setting American Horse of the Year, Curlin, when he won the Dubai World Cup in 2008. California Chrome easily won a February 25 handicap prep race over the course and distance of the Dubai World Cup. Afterward, he blossomed further in his training, and the week before the world’s richest race, he radiated a strength and vitality that seemed to eclipse his competition.

INTERNATIONAL RACEHORSE

California Chrome, setting both a track record and an all-time earnings record even with a slipped saddle.

Even when Sherman drew post 11, he just laughed and said:“The outside is good when you’ve got the horse.” History will recall that Sherman, Espinoza and all the owners had the right horse. With his victory this year, California Chrome amassed $6 million for his connections, tripling the $2 million he earned in 2015 for finishing second to Prince Bishop in that edition of the Dubai World Cup. But more than the money, California Chrome provided his team and racing aficionados around the globe with a memory that will last forever: a vision of a red fireball streaking down the Meydan stretch, with jockey Espinoza balancing on a slipping saddle yet fearlessly urging his mount forward until breaking into a jubilant whip-flourishing, standing-in-the-irons victory celebration. Mubtaahij’s trainer Mike de Kock reacted to the spectacle with awe and admiration. While revealing that Mubtaahij would be sent to the U.S. in search of Grade 1 glory, he admitted that he hopes the son of Dubawi can avoid a rematch anytime soon. “I want to go to the opposite side of the world from (California Chrome) if I can,” de Kock said. California Chrome returned to Taylor Made for about a month

of rest after the Dubai World Cup. He had spent much of the previous summer at the farm, relaxing in a paddock, eating grass, putting on weight and shedding some of the aches and pains accumulated with racing. Tentative plans for the rest of 2016 call for the horse to be returned to the Shermans in May, with a view toward possibly running in the Pacific Classic Stakes at Del Mar on August 20, although the Chrome team indicated it wants the race purse raised from $1 million to $2 million before they commit to the event. Afterward, the $5 million Breeders’ Cup Classic on November 5 at Santa Anita Park would be the main target, with hopes that California Chrome will markedly add to his earnings record. While California Chrome already has done more than anyone could have ever imagined, with a record of 12 wins and four placings in 21 starts, he may yet find ways to continue to dazzle his legion of “Chromie” fans. As Breeders’ Cup tempts us to believe, with their promotional tagline for the championship event, “the best is yet to come.” At the same time, however, it is difficult to conceive of any more exciting race than the one that California Chrome gave us all in Dubai.

THE INVESTEC DERBY WHERE THE IMPOSSIBLE BECOMES POSSIBLE

By Liesl King | Photos by Dan Abrahams

rish trainer Dermot Weld is a man of records. He became the first international trainer to saddle a Melbourne Cup winner with Vintage Crop in 1993. He followed up on that victory with an even more spectacular victory with Media Puzzle, ridden by Damien Oliver in 2002, which was portrayed in the movie The Cup.

a Group 3 over 2000m in heavy going at Leopardstown at his next start, he entered the Derby picture, but his regular jockey was already engaged to ride Midterm. For the Irish Magician though things have a way of working out just fine and when it was announced on the 20th of May that Midterm was out of contention with a stress fracture, Smullen was free to ride Harzand.

He has won Group 1 races on four continents, and the fifth, Africa, is still very much in his sights. Weld also holds the record for most winners trained in Ireland. So with 23 European Classic victories behind his name, you would think that there must be a couple of Epsom Derbies in that tally. Well you would be wrong, as the Investec Epsom Derby is one of the few Classics that have eluded Weld.

Derby day dawned and one could easily have thought that from here onwards it would be plain sailing for the striking dark brown colt, but unbeknownst to everybody, high drama was not far away. On the way to the airport, Harzand stood on himself as the float rounded a corner and pulled off his racing plate. Weld takes up the story.

At the start of the season Weld didn’t have a suitable Derby candidate and hence his stable jockey, Pat Smullen opted to partner Sir Michael Stoute’s classy Galileo colt Midterm. Unbeaten Midterm was favourite for the Derby after winning the Derby Trial and Smullen looked forward to what could be his first victory from eight Derby starts.

“He was pretty unlikely to run today after what happened. Racing plates are very light and unfortunately he pulled one off. By doing this, he drew blood as well so his foot was very sore. I’ve got excellent staff and immediately old-fashioned treatment came in. We poulticed him and then, when he got to Epsom this morning, he was very sore. So we treated him again and I was happy then that we’d drawn anything we had wanted to out of the foot. We then put him in ice for four hours. He hadn’t damaged the plate - it was clean and hadn’t buckled at all. Jim Reilly, Jim Bolger’s farrier, was able to tack that back on. Jim is a very gifted man and we were lucky to have him here. He tacked the plate back on so delicately and then we put the foot in ice again.”

Harzand, a Sea The Stars colt trained by Weld and owned by HH The Aga Khan, had only managed a 5th on debut. It wasn’t until his second start where he produced a staggering 16 length victory in a maiden at Cork, that Weld thought he might have a good one on his hands. When Harzand won

The shoe was tacked on at 1.55pm and 2pm Harzand jogged perfectly sound with the track vet in attendance. His foot was put back in a bucket of ice until race time. Weld saddled the colt and again he jogged out perfectly sound. The final test was whether Pat would be happy with how Harzand

Weld’s ability to win races, when victory seems not only improbable, but downright impossible, has earned him the nickname of The Irish Magician. And when one considers the events that led up to this year’s Investec Derby, one can certainly believe it. Lets wind back to the very beginning.

felt once he had cantered down to the start. Smullen was under strict instructions to jog the colt one last time and to retire him if he wasn’t happy. The Irish Magician’s luck held as Smullen trotted a sound Harzand in a circle at the start, with the track vet looking on.The colt was cleared to take his place in the Group 1 Investec Derby. The Derby course is a test like nothing on earth and unless you have stood on the hallowed turf at the finish line and looked up the hill to Tattenham corner, I think it is hard to comprehend, just quite what is asked of these young colts. For not only does the course undulate to the extreme, but from Tattenham corner to just before the finish line there is a drop of just over 30m. Doable on good going, but thundering downhill at high speed on slippery wet ground is not for the fainthearted. After seven Derbies Smullen knew what had to be done and he tucked Harzand in behind Idaho and Seamie Heffernan, racing mid field. Smullen waited patiently till Harzand had conquered the steepest part of the drop before producing the colt for a run. As Harzand pulled clear, it wasn’t long before the white face of the favourite, the Aidan O’Brien trained US Army Ranger under a driving ride by Ryan Moore, loomed on his outside. Smullen asked Harzand to step up a gear and the colt responded, drawing well clear. Despite Ryan Moore’s urgings US Army Ranger could make no inroads into Harzand’s lead and HH The Aga Khan’s colt won by 1.5 lengths in a time of 2:40.09, giving Weld and Smullen their first Investec Derby

INTERNATIONAL RACEHORSE

victories. US Army Ranger finished in second with Idaho in third and Wings Of Desire and Frankie Dettori in fourth. The Irish Magician had done it again, against all odds, he finally had an Investec Epsom Derby behind his name. “I suppose not winning the Derby has been nagging away at me for a bit. It’s been a race I’ve always wanted to win. I’ve been very fortunate in Group Ones and Grade Ones all around the world and in my own country. It was the one race I needed to win though. Quite often though, you don’t have a good enough horse to run in the race, let alone win it. You have to make every opportunity count when you do though.” An equally delighted HH The Aga Khan, celebrating his fifth Derby winner, thanked his breeding operations’ staff in Ireland and France. “I’m very honoured to have them all working with me to produce these horses. We are not in the marketplace for buying horses - we breed them. It’s difficult to compare Harzand to my other Derby winners (Shergar in 1981, Shahrastani in 1986, Kahyasi in 1988 and Sinndar in 2000). I think one of the best memories I have is of Shergar coming round Tattenham Corner and, in my eyes he was cantering. I’m 80 now and I’ve owned horses since I was 20 so 60 years of ownership. I’ve had some wonderful horses.” The Investec Derby never fails to deliver and 2016 was no exception. A superb victory by a talented colt, ridden by a master tactician jockey, trained by an Irish Magician and owned by of the greatest owner breeders of all times. Pat Smullen summed it up beautifully when he said: “It’s an amazing game and it simply doesn’t get any better than this!”

For one brilliant afternoon, hope sparkled in the Kentucky spring sunshine that what once had seemed impossible would happen yet again.

“It was only natural that dreams of the Triple Crown would be stirred again”

Doug O’Neill

Nyquist

yquist, an undefeated champion, had just rolled powerfully through the ten furlongs of the Kentucky Derby, becoming just the eighth unbeaten winner in the 142-year history of America’s most famous race. His time of 2:01.31 stands as the 13th fastest ever, as well as the most rapid in over a dozen years. So, it was only natural that dreams of the Triple Crown, which American Pharoah so gloriously proved can still be accomplished in the modern era, would be stirred again in the glow of Nyquist’s run at Churchill Downs before a near record crowd of 167,227 onlookers. Two weeks later, however, those dreams were lost in the tiring quagmire at Pimlico Race Course in Baltimore.

Trainer Doug O’Neill was among those who were stunned by the defeat of Nyquist in the Preakness, especially since the Uncle Mo colt had seemed somewhat invincible in the light of his Derby triumph.The trainer took responsibility for the directions he gave jockey Mario Gutierrez to gun for the lead in the Preakness field of 11, no matter what the other horses did. “Our strategy backfired and that’s mostly on me,” said O’Neill, who described the track as “sticky and heavy. “ “My level of confidence was so high that my instructions to Mario were to take it to them. Don’t take any chances, even if it means being in front. … It wasn’t Mario, it was me and it backfired,” he said.

In following O’Neill’s guidelines, which seemed to be straight out of the playbook utilized by Bob Baffert with American The rallying Derby runner-up Exaggerator gained a sweet revenge, Pharoah in last year’s rainy Preakness, Gutierrez found himself speeding past Nyquist in the stretch after the champion had and his mount tangling early with the speedy Uncle Lino (also engaged in an early speed duel that yielded the fastest opening by Uncle Mo), while also pressed by Awesome Speed and quarter-mile in the 141 runnings of the middle jewel of the Triple Collected.

Exaggerator

But, just as much as his exploits, the story of Exaggerator revolves colorfully around his connections, the trainer-jockey brother duo of Keith and Kent Desormeaux and bold, relatively new owners, led by Matt Bryan’s Big Chief Racing and Sol Kumin. While older brother Keith Desormeaux toiled mostly in relative obscurity prior to receiving promising young horses from Bryan, Kent had carved out a Hall of Fame career while winning three Kentucky Derbies aboard Fusaichi Pegasus, Real Quiet and Big Brown. Both brothers had spent key parts of their early careers in Maryland. “What I’m feeling now is awesome confirmation of a lifetime of dedicating myself to finding and getting the best out of a horse,” said the low-key Keith Desormeaux after the Preakness. He deferred much comment or emotion about his brother, saying only that “you don’t need to show it outwardly,” when asked about brotherly love. Keith Desormeaux has endured some rocky times with his brother but has solidly supported Kent, who sought treatment for alcoholism after the Preakness following years of somewhat unpredictable behavior.

INTERNATIONAL RACEHORSE

“It was time to take a sober look at my life and take this step,” said Kent Desormeaux, who undoubtedly is one of the most talented riders to compete in American racing. He still holds the record, set in 1989, by wins in a single year with 598, and he is one of only three jockeys to win Eclipse Awards as both outstanding apprentice and outstanding overall rider. Meanwhile, the savvy investment and luck by Kumin, particularly, stand out as remarkable. The Wall Street executive, who is chief executive of Folger Hill Asset Management, got involved in racing in 2014 and one of his first purchases was the still undefeated filly sensation Lady Eli, a $160,000 yearling now on the comeback trail after a bout with laminitis. Kumin also co-owns Royal Ascot’s Diamond Jubilee Stakes winner Undrafted and Breeders’ Cup Filly & Mare Sprint winner Wavell Avenue, and he had interests in 65 horses overall in January when he was named America’s new owner of the year for 2015.Around the same time, he decided to invest in Exaggerator, who had been purchased by Bryan as a yearling, on the recommendation of Keith Desormeaux, for $110,000.

Exaggerator and Nyquist, hopefully, will battle on for supremacy in the second half of the racing season, with many others trying to establish their credentials, including Belmont contenders Creator, winner of the Arkansas Derby; Brody’s Cause, first in the Blue Grass Stakes, and Lani, victor in the UAE Derby in Dubai. While the colts skirmish, America’s three-year-old fillies also are scrambling for position at the top of their division. Cathryn Sophia, a daughter of Street Boss who was a $30,000 yearling acquisition by Afleet Alex’s owner Charles Zacney for his Cash Is King stable, showed her feisty nature and her heels to 13 competitors in the Kentucky Oaks, drawing off for a 2 ¾-length score in front of a record crowd of 124,589. Winning the lilies at Churchill Downs redeemed Cathryn Sophia after she found herself having to settle for third after being passed by both winner Weep No more and Rachel’s Valentina in the Ashland Stakes at Keeneland. She lost both that Grade 1 race in April and her undefeated record, and trainer John Servis immediately ruled her out of the Oaks. But in a twist of fate propelled partly by the withdrawal of champion juvenile filly Songbird and partly by Cathryn Sophia’s

ongoing strong training, Servis and Zacney reversed course—and the rest is history. “The way she did it turning for home, I think nobody can beat that filly today,” said winning jockey Javier Castellano, who has won three consecutive Eclipse Awards as America’s outstanding jockey. Servis recounted how Cathryn Sophia always displayed talent along with her Type A personality, revealing that the filly who has chased countless people out of her stall seemed to have no limitations other than those suggested by her compact size and penchant for speed. Her command of the Oaks and its 1 1/8 miles revealed she can handle longer distances against top competition and thus makes her a fierce contender for the championship of her division. “This opens up all sorts of horizons on what we can do,” said Servis.“The way things work out—this is unbelievable,” added the trainer, who now has achieved the unique feat of having saddled winners of both the Oaks and the Kentucky Derby, which he saddled Smarty Jones to win in 2004, with his first starters in each race.

GAVIN DOYLE By Lizzie Philpin and Yvonne Bolton

INTERNATIONAL RACEHORSE

avin Doyle is well known throughout South Africa for his paintings of animals, both domesticated and wildlife; but it is most certainly his portraiture of horses for which he is most renowned. Gavin does not just paint a horse – he paints your horse and he does it with such insight and attention to detail that you, as the owner, are captivated. Those of us lucky enough to have one of Gavin’s paintings hanging in their home know that it is a daily pleasure to walk into a room and catch sight of his work. How he came by these talents is something of a mystery, since there were no family tendencies to art recorded in his ancestry. Nevertheless his story begins some seventy years ago in the Eastern Cape of South Africa. “I was raised on a sheep farm adjoining the Mountain Zebra Park in the Cradock district of the Eastern Cape. The untamed freedom while growing up evoked a passion for

the wilderness and a commitment to the animals that lived there. I often hiked to the top of a mountain where a rock with inscriptions dating back to the Boer war told me I was camping overnight on the exact spot where British soldiers had bivouacked . There was even a draughts board etched into the flat surface of an ironstone rock. My schooling began at the local Preparatory School and then was followed by my senior years at Queens College in Queenstown. School holidays were spent sketching whatever subjects were available and willing. In fact, after leaving school some of these sketches were submitted to an Advertising Agency in Port Elizabeth, which led to my employment in their Art Department. However, having spent three years there with little opportunity of advancement, I decided to move to Johannesburg. At the time, the only work I could find in Johannesburg was with an engraving company designing labels for fruit boxes. Needless to say, that job only lasted a year! It did, however, give me the opportunity of looking round for something more challenging, which I found with Lindsay Smithers in their Creative Department.

Whilst working for Lindsay Smithers, I found myself drawn to horse shows over weekends. I had a limited knowledge of horses, my only previous contact having been with the stock ponies that were used to herd the sheep on my parent’s farm. At one of the shows, I was fortunate enough to be introduced to David and Charlotte Stubbs, two of the most respected and knowledgeable horse personalities of the equestrian fraternity in South Africa. It was shortly after our meeting that I became their first tenant, when they offered me a cottage to rent on their property. Surrounded by horses my latent passion for them flourished. I had never been happy working in an office and shortly afterwards I resigned from Lindsay Smithers and spent the next five years working for David and Charlotte at Waterfall Kennels.

of a horse’s anatomy and to assess the physical attributes of individual horses. I was persuaded by David and Charlotte to take the exams conducted by the South African National Instructors Plan and this led to me being invited onto several judges’ panels. Happily, I was still able to spend time sketching in between riding and judging at the shows. An opportunity presented itself for me to take over the stable yard at the Inanda Club and it was here that I established the Inanda Stables and Riding School, which I ran for the next eight years. It was during this time that I received my first commission to paint a horse. Torch Sign, a rather plain chestnut gelding, had just won the South African Show Jumping Derby for the third year running and was about to be retired.

SIBAYA KZN YEARLING SALE AN EXCEPTIONAL CATALOGUE By Sarah Whitelaw | Photos by Liesl King

The Sibaya KZN Yearling Sale is one of the most popular and fastest growing thoroughbred auctions on the South African calendar.

ver the past few years the KZN Yearling Sale has grown in both quality and quantity.

The sale, which takes place days before the running of South Africaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s greatest horse-race â&#x20AC;&#x201C;the G1 Vodacom Durban July, has curved out a niche for itself in the

South African market, as a sale which offers buyers both quality and great value for money, with stud farms around the country keen to support the KZN Yearling Sale. Naturally, the KZN Sale has produced a number of outstanding performers, with its honour roll including Triple Crown/G1

Summer Cup winner Louis King, KZN champion Virgo’s Babe, G1 SA Derby hero Seal, subsequently exported dual G1 winner Same Jurisdiction (winner of the 2014 KZN Yearling Sale Million) and the Equus Champion, and G1 Gold Cup hero Wild One. The latter, a bargain R95 000 buy from the 2011 sale, won or placed in 14 of his 19 outings, with Wild One (South Africa’s Champion Stayer of 2014-2015) both winning and finishing second in the G1 eLan Property Group Gold Cup. Last year’s sale also produced its share of talented performers, with graduates of the 2015 KZN Yearling Sale including devastating G3 Godolphin Barb Stakes winner Red Chesnut Road, as well as impressive debut winners Determination, Poster Girl and South Side. No doubt, a number of bright prospects will still emerge from the 2015 KZN Yearling Sale, with a number of well bred juveniles still unraced and waiting in the wings!

A DAY OF CHAMPIONS

Sunshine, a packed grandstand and a sea of orange. The race card on Champions Day at Turffontein may have had eleven races carded, but for most oncourse it was all about one race, actually about one horse to be precise. A bright bay with star, stripe and snip, a bright bay who had won two legs of the Triple Crown, a bright bay whose racing colours were orange and black, a bright bay gelding called Abashiri. 70

s the gates opened on Champions Day, excited racegoers were greeted by friendly staff handing out ‘Go Abba” t-shirts and caps, while in the function rooms and even out on the Deck, the décor was distinctly orange. Abashiri’s owner, Adriaan van Vuuren left no stone unturned in his support for his star gelding, from requesting racegoers to wear orange and black, to organising buses for about 200 of his staff. Hence it came as no surprise to see the grandstand covered in a sea of orange. The first of the Graded races was the Grade 2 Gold Bowl over 3200m, where the Geoff Woodruff trained gelding Arch Rival under a driving ride by Raymond Danielson stormed home to beat Cool Chardonnay and Richard Fourie by almost a length. Next it was the turn of the Australian import Fursa as Callan Murray had the Mike de

They say fortune favours the brave and Sean Tarry was certainly brave when he entered the Captain Al filly Cloth Of Cloud against the colts in the SA Nursery over 1160m. When it comes to talent, Cloth Of Cloud is on par with the best of the boys, but when it comes to temperament, it is a whole different story. For Cloth Of Cloud is quite happy to run, as long as she has horses in front of her. Once her nose is clear of her nearest rival, the opinionated filly feels that she has done quite enough thank you and violently slams on the brakes. Regular jockey S’Manga Khumalo has had to become multiskilled when riding the tricky filly. Urging her on, while she tries her best to stop as quickly as possible, requires infinite balance and the skills of an acrobat, as she bounces all over the place, while throwing her head in the air. So to attempt a

skirmish with the best two-year-old colts was certainly brave! All went well until about the 200m mark when Khumalo could wait no longer, easing his stranglehold on the reins. It didn’t take long before Cloth of Cloud hit the front. Up came the head and on went the brakes. Khumalo kept riding despite being bounced all over the place, valiantly trying to keep Cloth Of Cloud going in a forwardly direction.Thankfully the line came in time, with Cloth Of Cloud a length clear of second placed Rivarine. After all that stress, Tarry must have been thankful for Trophy Wife’s exemplary run under Khumalo in the Grade 2 Gerald Rosenberg over 2000m, which culminated in a well deserved victory. The excitement continued as the Stanley Ferreira trained Juxtapose proved that her victory in the second leg of the Fillies Triple Tiara, the Wilgerbosdrift SA Fillies Classic, was no fluke, when comfortably accounting for the third leg, the SA

Oaks over 2450m. Juxtapose is not the biggest of fillies and regular jockey Chase Maujean sensibly kept her well clear of the scrimmaging up front and waiting till the business end of the race before asking the Judpot filly to move up and get involved. Within a matter of strides Juxtapose had powered clear and such was her turn of foot that the winning distance was two lengths despite Maujean easing down as the line approached. Carry On Alice has become the queen of sprinting and hence it came as no surprise when she delivered Tarry’s third victory of the day, when dominating the Gr.1 Computaform Sprint over 1000m. It is doubtful whether Khumalo has ever had such an easy victory on Carry On Alice. Steering the four-year-old straight down the middle of the track, he rode a hands and heels race as the speedy filly raced against herself. Khumalo was well clear with 200m to go, affording him to smile and salute to the appreciative crowd as he eased Carry On Alice down. At the line Carry On Alice was a length

Tapit has indeed changed the entire landscape of American breeding, and his influence has extended as far away as to Japan

INTERNATIONAL RACEHORSE

idway through the 2016 Northern Hemisphere racing year, the nearly white form of Tapit stands firmly atop the American sire standings, poised to continue what so far has been a two-year reign that established seasonal progeny earnings records in both 2014 and 2015. The 15-year-old son of Pulpit out of the Unbridled mare Tap Your Heels has risen to a height few other horses reach, which also has elevated the profile of Gainewsay Farm, where he has stood his entire career.

Purchased In 1989 by the late South African coal magnate, vintner and leading Thoroughbred owner/breeder Graham Beck, the 1,500-acre Gainesway in Lexington has been reshaped by Beck’s son, Antony Beck. The lush farm, which has been declared an arboretum by the American Public Garden Association due to the Beck family’s commitment to planting a wide variety of trees, is creating new chapters of the glory days enjoyed during the boom years of the 1980s, when international sires such as Lyphard, Riverman and Blushing Groom ruled the paddocks. Beck is committed to “turning out a product in the tradition of the great Thoroughbreds at Gainesway,” as he declares on the farm’s website, and his endeavors to improve the breed and the sport in general have been recognized through his election as vice chairman of Breeders’ Cup Ltd. and as a member of the Thoroughbred Owners and Breeders Association’s Board of Trustees.

As the latest brochure for the Gainesway stallions notes,

Tapit

“On October 24, 2004, Grade 1 winner Tapit arrived at Gainesway” and “the rest is history.”Tapit has indeed changed the entire landscape of American breeding, and his influence has extended as far away as to Japan, where the Yoshida family has raced a number of his offspring, including Group 1 winner Testa Matta, and imported a number of his top daughters, including champion Stardom Bound and Grade 1 winner Laragh, for broodmare duty. This year, Japanese-owned Lani, a gray son of Tapit, won the $2 million UAE Derby in Dubai and is set to join Preakness Stakes winner Exaggerator as one of only two colts to compete in each of the American Triple Crown races. Remarkably, Tapit sired the sale toppers at all four major American yearling auctions in 2015, and he has already given racing a Belmont Stakes winner in Tonalist, a Kentucky Oaks winner in champion Untapable, a pair of juvenile champions in Hansen and Stardom Bound, four Breeders’ Cup winners and a number of Grade 1 winners on turf. Many of his offspring, particularly in his early years at stud when he stood for

$15,000, were produced by mares with few stakes credentials. Sometime this year, the total earnings by the sons and daughters of Tapit will exceed the remarkable boundary of $100 million, just one more sign that the stallion has become something of an industry unto himself. “We really caught lightning in a bottle with Tapit,” says Gainesway Director of Sales Michael Hernon. “He can change a mare’s life—and he can change a breeder’s life.” But Gainesway’s foundations extend far beyond even the massive reach of Tapit, whose stud fee tops all others in North America at $300,000. In 2015, Beck joined with Chilean-based Don Alberto Corp. to repatriate top stallion Empire Maker—the leading son of top American Classic influence Unbridled—from Japan for residence at Gainesway. Empire Maker is standing this season for $100,000 and covering a book limited by Gainesway, as is Tapit’s, to around 130 mares.

Karakontie

The sire of champion Royal Delta, Grade 1 winner Pioneerof the Nile (who sired Triple Crown winner American Pharoah in his second crop), and promising first-crop sire Bodemeister, Empire Maker represents a major achievement for Gainesway. Beck and his team had to compete with a number of other high-profile farms who were bidding to acquire the now 16-year-old Juddmonte Farms-bred stallion from the Japan Bloodhorse Breeders’ Association. “I truly consider it one of my greatest accomplishments since I’ve been at Gainesway. This will mean a huge amount to the farm, to have a horse like that stand alongside Tapit. We’ve always tried to emphasize as high a level of quality as we can, and Empire Maker very definitely fits that profile,” Beck said. Gainesway also joined with the Niarchos family to stand Breeders’ Cup Mile and Pouled’Essai des Poulains (French 2000 Guineas) winner Karakontie, a son of Bernstein who will carry on the influence of grandsire Storm Cat. His 82

introductory fee was set at $15,000 for 2016. Other stallions at the farm also have been top achievers, including Belmont Stakes winner Birdstone, sire of Kentucky Derby winner Mine That Bird and champion Summer Bird; champion Afleet Alex, winner of the Preakness and Belmont Stakes; Japanese champion Hat Trick, a son of Sunday Silence who sired European juvenile champion Dabirsim in his initial crop, and young stallions Tapizar, by Tapit, and To Honor and Serve, by Bernardini, who each will have their first runners this season. “I’ve always tried to get as good of a stallion as I possibly can,” Beck has said. “If you were to ask me what my favorite aspect of the business is … I would have to say that standing stallions is what I get fairly obsessed about. “ “Great stallions have stood on this farm since the days of Peter Pan (and) Mahmoud.… The history and the legacy is very important to me.”

FACTS • The 2016 Investec Derby is the richest race ever run in Britain. The total prize money for the race is £1 545 000. • Four horses were supplemented for the race at a cost of £75 000 - Cloth Of Stars, Wings Of Desire, Humphrey Bogart and Red Verdon. Wings Of Desire was originally entered as a yearling in December 2014 and then taken out of the race in March of this year. • The last horse to be taken out of the Investec Derby, supplemented back into the race and then win was Kris Kin in 2003. • Owner Saeed Suhail, trainer Sir Michael Stoute and jockey Kieren Fallon teamed up to win the Investec Derby with Kris Kin in 2003. They joined forces again this year with Across The Stars. • Algometer is owner Kirsten Rausing’s first runner in the Investec Derby. He is bidding to become the fifth grey to win the race and the first since Airborne in 1946. • Several of this afternoon’s Investec Derby hopefuls have true ‘Epsom’ pedigrees. Ulysees is out of 2007 Investec Oaks heroine Light Shift while the dam of US Army Ranger, Moonstone, finished second in the 2008 Investec Oaks behind Look Here and won the Irish Oaks. • Melikah, the dam of Moonlight Magic, was third in the 2000 Investec Oaks behind Love Divine and is also a half-sister to two Investec Derby heroes in the shape of Galileo (2001) and Sea The Stars (2009). • Shogun is a full-brother to last year’s Investec Oaks heroine Qualify. • Workforce, winner of the 2010 Investec Derby, is the only horse to have been beaten in the Dante Stakes and then go on to win at Epsom. Deauville bids to emulate that feat this afternoon, having finished a neck behind Wings Of Desire at York. • If Wings Of Desire is successful, he will become only the fifth horse to win the Investec Derby in the post-war period having not run as a two-year-old. The others were Phil Drake (1955), Morston (1973), Commander In Chief (1993) and Ruler Of The World (2013). • The biggest-priced winning market leader in the last 50 years was Teenoso, who justified 9/2 favouritism in 1983. • The oldest trainer is this year’s Investec Derby is Jim Bolger (74). The youngest is Richard Hannon (40). • The oldest jockey in this year’s Investec Derby is Kieren Fallon (51). The youngest is Donnacha O’Brien (17).

Investec Derby, an achievement only matched once in the past 20 years by flat jockey Hayley Turner. To celebrate the occasion, Investec and Clare Balding joined forces to host this group of inspirational women from the world of sport, from elite athletes to businesswomen. Jockeys Alex Nicholls and Hayley Turner, were joined by Olympic Gold medallists Denise Lewis and Victoria Pendleton, who famously succeeded in a career change to horseracing earlier this year competing at the Cheltenham Festival. England women footballers Eni Aluko and Leah Williamson also attended, along with Rio Olympics 100m and 200m hopeful Jodie Williams and snowboarder Jenny Jones, who made history at the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, winning Great Britainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first ever medal in a snow event, taking home a Bronze medal. The group was also joined by Ruth Holdaway, CEO of Women In Sport, named by The Independent as one of the 50 most influential women in sport, as was their host Clare Balding. The iconic Oaks race, open to three-year old fillies, was a dramatic victory for favourite Minding despite a very rough passage exiting Tattenham Corner. The filly, who is the

A field of 16 went to post in the 237th renewal of the Investec Derby, Britain’s richest-ever race with a prize fund of £1 545 000. After a gruelling effort on Britain’s toughest racetrack this year’s Derby winner, Harzand, was an unexpected victor for punters and bookies alike having been a doubtful runner due to an injury scare in the morning. This is a first victory for trainer Dermot Weld and jockey Pat Smullen and despite slipping under most pundits’ radars, Harzand achieved Derby glory.

INTERNATIONAL RACEHORSE

The winner, a son of the 2009 Investec Derby winner Sea The Stars, became another breeding triumph for his owner, HH The Aga Khan, who has now won the world’s greatest flat race no fewer than five times, equalling the record of his grandfather. Harzand follows in the path of His Highness’ previous Derby wins; Shahrastani (1986), Kahyasi (1988), Sinndar (2000) and perhaps the most famous of all Derby winners, Shergar (1981). He commented, “Winning the Derby is the goal of every owner and it’s been the goal of every owner for centuries. It’s a great race with a great history and outstanding winners. From my point of view, it’s the ultimate thing you can do as an owner and, at this stage, I would like to thank my team for what they do in Ireland and in France which is a big achievement and which has been going on for a long time now. I’m very honoured to have them all working with me to produce these horses. We are not in the marketplace for buying horses - we breed them.” The iconic event combines glamour with high-class racing and continues to draw people back year-on-year to witness the splendid occasion.

Chateau de Chantilly, located near eastern end of racecourse

CHANTILLY’S HISTORIC ALLURE

By Bunny Hinzman / Photos Courtesy of Laura Battles

Twenty five miles north of Paris, an old Roman town with beautiful lakes and chateaus sits at the edge of a forest where famous red deer roam. Here, in this fashionable town modeled after Versailles, exists horse racing heaven: Chantilly Racecourse.

he same excessive monarchical indulgences that laid the groundwork for the bloody French Revolution ultimately created the extraordinary beauty of the place that became the nucleus of the modern sport.

At Chantilly, horse racing hosted its first organized meeting on the very same turf where Napoleon himself had paraded his legions. This 1834 meeting was highlighted by an inaugural race for fillies named in the Neoclassical spirit after a mythical goddess, the Prix de Diane (Gr-I). Two years later, the Chantilly meeting held its first Prix du Jockey Club (Gr-I) (French Derby), which is the male equivalent of the Prix de Diane.

Naturally chic, Chantilly’s grandstand has been the venue for the most elegant races and the height of French style. This great racecourse, which once faced closure, accentuates all that is beautiful about horse racing, with its small bends and slopes and trails where the horses gallop through the forest with Chantilly’s iconic red deer. France’s most brilliant racehorses have stepped down these paths; a visitor on their own walk could easily imagine the hoof beats of Allez France galloping by as she prepared for her Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe victory here. Chantilly’s masterpiece landmark, the Les Grandes Ecuries, contributes to the allure of this spectacular place. The stable sits at the far turn of the racecourse, running along the

outside rail for two hundred yards. Workers began building the structure by the order of Louis-Henri de Bourbon, the Prince de Conde, in 1719. The royal prince was so convinced he would be reincarnated as a horse that he ordered this stable to be constructed as lavishly as his Chateau de Chantilly - across a lake at the eastern end of the course to assure his next existence would be as stylish as his current one. Capable of housing two hundred fifty horses, the stables are still used today. Often unseen for most of the European racing season, Chantilly comes to life in early June for those classic races: the Prix du Jockey Club and the Prix de Diane. However, neither race have remained exclusively at Chantilly since their creation. Both contests were moved to Versailles during the Revolution of 1848 and were cancelled during the Franco-Prussian War in 1871. In 1915, they were completely abandoned and the Prix du Jockey Club was replaced by the Prix des Trois Ans for three years. This event was first held at Moulins, then Chantilly, and finally Maisons-Laffitte in 1918. The following year, the Prix de Diane would be reinstated, but a subsequent version of the Prix du Jockey Club, entitled the Prix de Chantilly, was held at Auteuil over 2,600 meters. During World War II, the Prix de Diane was canceled only once and Prix du Jockey Club would be reestablished at Longchamp and Le Tremblay until 1949, when it returned to Chantilly. The Prix de Diane was most recently canceled in 1975 as the result of a strike by stable hands.

Only open for French runners until the 1940s, the two races remained closed off to the racing world for a century. Even when the races opened up to foreign competitors, the number of outsiders remained small since the Chantilly races coincided with other major Classics for three-year-olds. In 1970, however, Sweet Mimosa became the first foreign Prix de Diane victress; but it was not until 1982 that the first foreign competitor took the Prix du Jockey Club when the David O’Brien trained Assert boldly carried the famous silks of Robert Sangster to victory at Chantilly. The Prix du Jockey Club, often referred to as the French Derby, is a one mile, 2 ½ furlong contest inspired by the Epsom Derby. Inaugurated in 1836, the race was named to honor the English Jockey Club located in Newmarket. The race was originally contested at 2,500 meters, but was lowered by 100 yards in 1843, then to its current distance in 2005. With a current purse of €1,500,000, its onehundred-and-forty year history has produced a strong roster of winners, highlighted by nine Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe victors – the first was Ksar in 1921 and the most recent was Dalakhani in 2003. Other triumphant Prix du Jockey Club winners include the Aga Khan Studs’ Darshaan (1984), Montjeu, bearing the illustrious Coolmore silks, in 1999, and Godolphin’s Shamardal. The celebrated rider Yves Saint-Martin remains the Prix du Jockey Club’s winningest jockey with nine victories, while Tom Jennings, Sr. holds the record for the most wins by a trainer with ten triumphs, and the leading owner is legendary

The race has been won by two English Oaks victresses: Fille de l’Air (1864) and Pawneese (1976). Six fillies that would go on to win the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe, most recently, the supermare Treve in 2013. Other significant winners include Allez France in 1973, followed the Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II’s Highclere, and Zarkava (2008). The Prix de Diane jockey title is shared by four riders with five wins: Spreoty, Charles Pratt, Yves Saint-Martin, and Gerald Mosse. Henry Jennings conditioned nine victresses from 1843 through 1875, making him the winningest trainer. Famous for his legendary female families, His Highness Aga Khan IV has owned seven Prix de Diane winners: Shemaka (1993), Vereva (1997), and followed by Zainta and Daryaba who won the two proceeding installations. In 2008, Zarkava carried the green and pink silks of the Aga Khan Studs, followed by Sarafina (2010), and Valyra (2012).

Currently, major figures in the sport contribute to racing’s future by buying, selling, and breeding. However, Aga Khan Studs is unique in that it is the only operation rooted in the establishment of the breed through their own foundation lines. The Aga Khan colorbearers allows one to read the living legacy of the famed stud. They are all originals – they do not just carry the Aga Khan silks; their very existence embodies the institution and its history. They are Thoroughbred antiquities, but also the Thoroughbred’s future.

His Highness Aga Khan IV was also significant in preventing the closure of Chantilly racecourse in the mid-1990’s. Having lived and stabled his horses in nearby Aiglemont, he donated €40 million to restore the largest privately owned estate in France, which included the racing venue as well as the beautiful chateaux, forests, and gardens, which had been designed by Andre le Notre, creator the gardens of Versailles and Tuileries in Paris. The entire town had gradually decayed since the The Aga Khan and Chantilly 1887 death of its last private owner, the Duc d’Aumale Henri The Aga Khan, the 17th Earl of the Derby, Federico Tesio, d’Orleans, who was the last French king Louis Phillipe’s final Marcel Bousacc – These figures have made instrumental son.

Their enduring influences will force in the twenty year restoration process at Chantilly and forever be at work, impacting and enhancing the breed. our continued appreciation for its beauty and significance in However, Aga Khan Studs, operating in part out of Aiglemont the history of horse racing.

A JOURNALIST Text & Photos by Liesl King

IN DUBAI

One Man Band wins Godolphin Mile

INTERNATIONAL RACEHORSE

ournalists and racehorse trainers generally don’t mix. And that’s not surprising at all. When you are trying to get a half ton animal with a mind of its own and a propensity for injuring itself, fit and sound enough to win a race, the last thing you need are inquisitive journalists asking endless questions. Yes I have to admit we are rather like annoying gnats. Fortunately for us, most trainers will put up with the questions, if only to be left in peace and quiet to get on with the real job at hand, getting that champion to win the next race. Yet for every rule there has to be an exception and in this case the exception is that rare trainer that actually likes the media. Who enjoys showing you his horses and loves to talk about what they have done and their future plans, usually over endless cups of coffee. But when it comes to the Dubai World Cup, all bets are off. The richest raceday in the world with the richest race, brings out tension, stress and anxiety in even the most laidback of trainers and understandably so. On the last Saturday in March, at the extraordinary Meydan racetrack, there is a lot at stake and everything that happens, happens in front of a 500 strong media contingent. It is rare to see a trainer at morning trackwork at Meydan and when they briefly appear to watch a workout or chat to the owners, talking to the media is not high on their list of must do’s. Even the most obliging of them, will only offer a word or two, the enormity of the undertaking clearly taking its toll. Here the slightest mishap can result in a huge loss of potential earnings. Some trainers eschew the main track, preferring to train away from the media glare at the training track, while others, such as Godolphin firmly remain at their home base, only to be seen come race night. Hence when American trainer Doug Watson had the favourite for the UAE Derby, the unbeaten filly Polar River (USA), he was the man everybody wanted to interview and Polar River was the horse everybody wanted to photograph. There was just one small problem. Watson, who has been in the UAE for close on 23 years, trains from the Red Stables, far away from Meydan. I had given up all hope of ever seeing this amazing filly who had swept all before her during the Carnival, winning her first three starts by a staggering 31.25 lengths!

Polar River runs second in UAE Derby

Then at the post-position draw, I ran into Watson by accident - literally! And being a journalist I took my chance. Was he going to bring Polar River for a warmup canter on the main track? “No”, came the answer and then to my utmost surprise it was followed by, “but you are most welcome to come watch her workout tomorrow morning, we pull out at five”, delivered with a broad smile. Once Doug Watson watching Meadow Creek

INTERNATIONAL RACEHORSE

I had picked myself up off the floor and managed to get directions down on the nearest scrap of paper, I realised that 5am was going to be way too dark for any pictures, unless the track was floodlit. On arrival at the Red Stables’ training track the next morning, the only light to be seen was the full moon. I admitted defeat and left my camera in the boot, armed only with my recorder, I waited for Watson to arrive. How any human being can be so cheerful at that time of the morning is beyond me, but I have to say that I have never been welcomed so warmly at any training track, anywhere in the world at that hour! “Where’s your camera”, he asks once the greetings are over, “its going to be light soon”. Not believing that for an instant, I dutifully trudged back to my car for said camera. And One Man Band wins Godolphin Mile INTERNATIONAL RACEHORSE

amazingly he was right, with minutes to spare, streaks of light appeared over the horizon and in the desert I quickly learned, sunrise is not a slow affair. Expecting to see just Polar River work, with Watson answering a few questions before sending me on my way, I could hardly believe my eyes, when all seven of his Dubai World Cup Day contenders were brought out one by one for me to photograph. “Oh we will work the rest later. This way you will get to see all my top horses” Watson explained. And to top it all there was no need to ask questions, as Watson kept up a running commentary. Detailing who each horse was, what he had done so far, which race he was running in and what sort of a run he was expecting. I was in journalist heaven.

Polar River tarckwork

Once each horse had completed its work, Watson made sure the riders posed for me on the track. “Is that good? Have you got what you needed?” Was this man for real? I am so used to grabbing shots on the go. Posing horses? What’s that? The stars were being brought out in pairs and some such as Polar River, came alone, giving me plenty of time to find out just what brought Watson to this desert country and more importantly, why had he stayed. A young Watson arrived in Dubai in 1993 to work as headman for Satish Seemar. His first World Cup was spent in the vet’s room on a chair, as horse ambulance driver. ‘They just wanted somebody who knew where to go if something went wrong and it was a free place from which to watch the race”, he quips. Adding that watching Cigar storm to victory that day is still his greatest World Cup memory. Next Watson spent ten years as assistant to fellow USA trainer Kieran McLaughlin at the Red Stables, owned by Sheikh Hamdan Al Maktoum. Upon McLaughlin’s return to the States, Watson took over the reins.Twelve years later he is still here. Still hands on, checking the legs of each horse as they come out on to the track and sending them on their way with a pat. On their return, he discusses each workout with the rider, before a final pat sends them back to the barn. And this attention to detail certainly paid off come Dubai World Cup night with a memorable trifecta in the G2 Godolphin Mile. One Man Band (IRE) storming to a dominant 4.75 length victory under Sam Hitchcott, while Faulkner (GB) under Dane O’Neill just got his nose in front of Cool Cowboy (USA) and Patrick Dobbs. I have to admit, I shouted them home. Polar River, with Dobbs in the saddle, ran a gallant race against the colts and just found one better, finishing second to Lani (USA) and Yutaka Take. Watson ended the 2015/2016 season as Champion trainer, but he is so much more than that. He is genuine, warm, likeable and funny. A true horseman, who lives for his horses and is liked by all his staff and even the media. So do yourself a favour when you are next in Dubai and go and visit the Red Stables. It is bound to be an experience you will never forget 100 INTERNATIONAL RACEHORSE

CTS 2016 REVIEW Cape Thoroughbred Sales (CTS) remain at the forefront of the racing and breeding industry in South Africa. Their expanding platform of auctions continue to showcase yearlings with attractive pedigrees from amongst the top stud farms, whilst recent notable performance by CTS graduates in important Graded races keeps the dream alive for passionate buyers.

102 INTERNATIONAL RACEHORSE

he high-quality Cape Premier Yearling Sale staged in January set the tone. South African records for the highest price attained by a colt and filly sold on auction were achieved at a robust sale which yielded a final average of R600,221 with the median mark set at R375,000. Confirmation that breeders and buyers have quickly embraced the idea of a start-of-the-year auction in Cape Town was evident from a healthy aggregate of R135,650,000. Lot 37, Silver Coin, an eye-catching colt by former champion sire Silvano and a half brother to Grade 1 performer Halve the Deficit was knocked down for a whopping R6 million to Mayfair Speculators, after a bidding duel with Lady Christine Laidlaw. This was a record amount for a colt sold through an auction ring in SA.

Yet more remarkable action unfolded when Lot 81, Best Kept Secret entered the arena. The Captain Al filly by top class racemare, Secret of Victoria is from an exceptional female line featuring Equus champion All Is Secret and highly impressive juvenile,The Secret Is Out. Consigned by Klawervlei Stud, as agent on behalf of committed racing man, Garth Miller, she was eventually sold to Tina Rau Bloodstock/MV Mangier for R5,25 million – the highest sum ever paid for a filly at a thoroughbred auction in South Africa. Secret Of Victoria is a wonderful broodmare. She has another foal at foot, and recently tested in foal, so fortunate pharmacist Miller, is hopeful of repeating a winning prescription. Based on aggregate, ruling champion breeders Klawervlei Stud (49 lots), Highlands Farm (36 lots), Drakenstein Stud (9 lots), Maine Chance Farms (22 lots) and Avontuur (9 lots) were the top vendors at CPYS. Drakenstein Stud were thrilled at their average return – an exceptional R1.9 million per yearling. Former jockey, now a trainer in Durban, Garth Puller chatted thoughtfully about CPYS 2016, “Obviously if the powerful buyers are all going for the same horses then big prices will be reached, but I still look at all horses, even those that may seem out of range, as there are lucky surprises to be found in the lower-middle market.”

104 INTERNATIONAL RACEHORSE

Those words proved prophetic when a day later, a horse trained by his brother Glen, Illuminator, an opportunistic 180K purchase at a CTS auction in March 2014, scored a momentous win in the inaugural CTS Million Dollar over 1400m on the turf at Kenilworth, Africa’s richest thoroughbred race. This landed his lucky connections an R8 million bonanza - a brilliant return on investment. Illuminator was ridden by struggling apprentice Heavelon Van der Hoven to narrowly deny star Cape Summer season filly Silver Mountain. In a feel-good twist, Van der Hoven benefitted enormously by seizing the opportunity, both in terms of career advancement and money in the bank. Normally, a big chunk of apprentice stakes commissions would accrue to the Jockey Academy, but subsequent negotiations ensured that he kept the bulk of his riding earnings from the CTS Million Dollar triumph. South Africa’s finest stallions with proud records found their way to the top of the charts at CPYS 2016. Silvano averaged R1.1 million for his 22 desirable lots, Dynasty’s average was R1.3 million from 14 sought-after entries, with Captain Al’s 22 yearlings selling for an average of R901,000. Trippi is now well-entrenched in this country, so loyal supporters ensured he grossed R8 million from only nine youngsters.

Globe-trotting sire, Oratorio made a pleasing SA debut with his 25 yearlings realising just under R11 million. This complemented stalwart Avontuur resident,Var who is enjoying a resurgence with stand-out juvenile performers in early 2016. Former Champion SA sprinter What a Winter and Byword, who enjoyed a notable career in France/UK, are new sires with potential and they too attracted rapt attention at the slick CTS showpiece. Next on the calendar was the CTS March Yearling Sale where there was a horse available to suit a wide cross-section of buyers. The auction proceeded smoothly at Durbanville racecourse - an aggregate of R21,395,000 was attained at an average of R107,513.

When the final figures were toted up, Rainbow Beach Trading topped the buyers list. Mike Bass, Mayfair Speculators,Wehan Smith of Kuda Insurance, Michael Azzie and Form Bloodstock were other active bidders at the top end of the market. Experienced racing man Craig Carey observed, “This was a fair sale based on the draft represented in the catalogue.” Breeder Dr Ian Heyns echoed that view, after benefitting early on when selling a daughter of commercially attractive sire Querari, “Prices depend on the stallions – this has been a roller coaster, but it has turned out fine.”

CTS run an alluring incentive program with all of these yearlings purchased qualifying for the next Million Dollar Races (over 1200m and 1600m) to be held in CapeTown during January 2018 on the Investec Day Of Dreams. Each race beckons alluringly with a stake of USD 500,000.

Then, in mid April, action shifted up to the Highveld, where a most lively 2016 Emperors Palace Select Yearling Sale stretched into a pulsating Friday evening at the luxurious Johannesburg hotel and casino complex. CTS go to great lengths to make their gatherings entertaining, with the innovative poker tournament generating a buzz in the build up.

Breeders and racing owners comprise a resilient fraternity. Vendors were reconciled to some tough trading at the March Yearling Sale, but still came out satisfied, according to Mike Sharkey of Highlands Farm Stud, “This turned out better than we thought – the good horses are still going for good prices.”

The post- sale stats showed that of 199 lots offered, 167 were sold, realizing an aggregate of R63,085,000. That translates into an average of R377,754 at a median price of R225,000. Vendors left feeling well-remunerated for their efforts, and buyers were clearly taken in by a deep catalogue that featured

The beautiful farm located in the Cape Winelands despatched their first ever draft to this sale, and garnered a return of R9,825,000 from five yearlings at an outstanding average of R1,965,000. In the period under review, CTS graduates continued to excel with stellar performances around the country. In the Grade 1 SA Nursery, Cloth Of Cloud, trained by Sean Tarry and ridden by S’Manga Khumalo, ran past another CTS graduate, Rivarine. Also on Champions Day at Turffontein, Carry On Alice’s sidled to an eyepopping victory for the same red-hot connections in the Grade 1 World Sports Betting Computaform Sprint.A R475,000 purchase at CPYS in 2013, the daughter of Captain Al boosted earnings to over R3 million in scoring her 8th victory from 22 career outings.

Broodmares provide the foundation for such racetrack excellence, so breeders are constantly searching all over the world to perpetuate successful families. The Select Fillies and Mare Sale, staged at Highlands Farm Stud on the 10th June, catered for just that niche market with 15% of the lots Black Type winners. It provided breeders with the forum to either acquire promising new bloodlines or bring to market potently bred mares.

GALILEO SON

FLYING THE FLAG AT BUSH HILL STUD

Text & Photos by Candiese Marnewick

Bush Hill Stud have welcomed a son of the mighty Galileo to their stallion ranks ahead of the 2016 breeding season. Bush Hill currently stand several sons of some of the worlds top stallions and the big good looking chestnut horse, Flying The Flag, makes an exciting addition indeed.

he first impression given by the impressive Flying The Flag is his correctness, size, substance and quality. Standing well over the ground and at 16.2 hands, his head and facial markings emulate that of his famous sire whilst bearing the handsome qualities of chestnut 6-time Champion sire Pivotal, sire of 126 stakes winners.

Her trainer Aiden O’ Brien stated that her win the Sun Chariot by half a length was impressive after the filly had “had a long old season,” whilst one of her jockey’s, Johnny Murtagh, described the flying grey filly as “very brave and very tough.” Halfway To Heaven also provided her leading owner Sue Magnier with one of her six wins in the exclusive race of the Irish 1000 Guineas.

Pivotal is not only a multiple champion stallion but an outstanding broodmare sire, the only one in the top ten European damsires to produce an impressive number of Stakes Winners as a sire and broodmare sire whilst still actively at stud – a feat only reproduced by Northern Guest while at stud in South Africa. Amongst Pivotal’s champion progeny is Dubai Cup winner African Story, Golden Apples and top French two year Old, Siyouni.

Halfway To Heaven is out of the brilliantly fast Cassandra Go, winner of the Gr2 King’s Stand Stakes at Royal Ascot, the Gr2 Temple Stakes and as well as the Gr3 King George, and placing second in the Gr1 July Cup. Cassandra Go is a six-time winning half-sister to sire Verglas, and has produced six winners to date – four of them Bold Black Type.

Flying The Flag is a first foal out of the grey triple Group 1 winning mare, Halfway To Heaven, who established herself as one of Europe’s leading fillies in her three year old year.

Cassandra Go is by Indian Ridge out of a Secreto mare named Rahaam, a female line thick in Bold Black Type with the likes of sire Grey Eminence, Champion French sprinter Do The Honours, top German sprinter Best Regards and Future Generation.

A Goff’s €450,000 yearling and a Stakes Winner at two, amongst Halfway To Heaven’s most impressive wins was her Irish 1000 Guineas victory, and she also took home the Gr1 Nassau Stakes and the Gr1 Sun Chariot.

World Champion sire Galileo needs little introduction and his biggest success in South Africa came in the form of the brilliant Igugu(AUS), one of the best fillies to ever grace the South African turf. INTERNATIONAL RACEHORSE

Igugu’s name aptly translates to “Jewel”from Zulu, and amongst her Gr1 wins is Africa’s most exclusive and richest race, the Vodacom Durban July. Igugu also beat the boys at Kenilworth in the Gr1 J&B Met and added further Group 1’s to her accolades in the SA Oaks and Woolavington 2000. Seven of her nine victories were Graded Stakes wins. Universally acknowledged as the best stallion on the planet, Galileo had stamped his name into the history books before his great son Frankel arrived, who went on to emphasise and justify what a great stallion the son of Sadler’s Wells really is. Galileo has produced over 52 Gr1 winners and more then 211 Stakes Winners. As a sire-of-sires, Galileo’s potency is being seen through his sons’ Teofilo, New Approach and Rip Van Winkle, whilst Frankel’s first runner won impressively on debut. Rip Van Winkle is out of a Stravinsky mare. It is interesting to note that Stravinsky, who is a sire of nine Gr1 winners and more than 50 Stakes Winners, is also included in Flying The Flag’s female line. The cross of Galileo onto Pivotal mares has already proved successful and most recently produced Australian Gr1 winner The United States (IRE), winner of the Gr1 Ranvet Stakes on turf over 2000m.The United States has further won two other Group races and placed second in the Gr1 Queen Elizabeth Stakes. This cross has seen continued success with the likes of dual Gr2 winner Gospel Choir, Silver Galaxy, and Tamarind Cove. Flying The Flag is owned in a partnership that includes Coolmore Stud, Mauritzfontein and Wilgebosdrift Stud, and impressed after a juvenile win on debut over 1400m in Ireland - proving his precociousness and ability for speed.

of six, Flying The Flag went on to win three times including the Gr3 International Stakes at the Curragh. He also placed second in the Gr2 Futurity Stakes in Ireland, a race that has seen the likes of Giant’s Causeway etched into its history. Flying The Flag was transferred to South African trainer Mike De Kock of Horse Chestnut, The Apache and Mubtaahij fame, and the Galileo colt went on to place in the Gr1 Jebel Hatta and win in Dubai. He finished third in the Gr3 London News Stakes at Turffontein as a six year old. Warwick Render of Bush Hill Stud comments on their exciting new addition to their farm: “He was a top class racehorse and its a stallions pedigree, he is an international Stakes Winner and Gr1 placed. His second start after winning his debut was a Gr2 at the Curragh and he ran second. In his first three starts as a three year old, in a space of three weeks, included the Gr1 French 2000 Guineas, the Gr1 Irish 2000 Guineas and a week later, the Epsom Derby. That gives us a good indication of how highly thought of Flying The Flag was, and his credentials. After a six month rest he preformed admirably in Dubai by winning his first start, and placing in the Gr1 Jebel Hatta. This horse comes from a pure speed family. His pedigree is incredibly compatible with mares in KZN and South Africa. He is a very good looking horse, with size, substance and scope. The KZN Breeders have shown their recognition of what a great asset to our province and breeding in South Africa he is by quickly purchasing available shares in the syndicate.” Flying The Flag will stand for a fee of R20 000 in his first season at stud. Galileo’s influence in South Africa is relatively young and we look forward to its undoubted growth for generations to come.

Frankie Dettori – Investec ambassador

What does it take to win the Investec Derby? Losing it 18 times. We believe in ambition. Like Frankie Dettori, Britain’s best-loved champion jockey, who once rode all seven winners at Royal Ascot at odds of more than 25 000-1. And yet somehow the Investec Derby at Epsom Downs eluded him. Until he soared to victory in 2007 and then again in 2015. It’s that same grit and tenacity that we apply to creating and managing your wealth through Specialist Banking, Asset Management and Wealth & Investment. How ambitious are you?
