We have it covered as Urban Sea clan remain out in front A

LOT of thought goes into who will grace the front cover of the Bloodstock Review. Naturally we want the big talking point of the past 12 months to take centre stage in our flagship publication.

This year it had to be Sea The Stars, who wowed everyone with his first three-year-old crop, which yielded two outstanding Classic winners in Taghrooda and Sea The Moon.

No wonder Angus Gold, racing manager for Taghrooda’s owner-breeder Hamdan Al Maktoum, calls Sea The Stars “a really important horse to the whole industry and to us” in a feature on the resurgence of Shadwell, starting on page 12.

An even more experienced eye than Gold, Tony Morris, has seen many bright starts by stallions in his six decades writing about bloodstock and he delivers the authoritative verdict on how Sea The Stars has fared, beginning over the page.

Sea The Stars is, of course, taking after his half-brother Galileo by becoming a blue-chip stallion. Recent editions of the Bloodstock Review show how astonishingly influential their dam Urban Sea has become in Flat racing and breeding.

In 2009, the first year the magazine was published in its current format, Urban Sea took pride of place on the front as she had died that year, months before Sea The Stars embarked on his spree of six Group 1 wins.

Two years later Galileo was the cover boy, having sired a bundle of top-level winners including champion three-year-old Frankel; next

year it was Frankel himself who held the honour after he proved himself an all-time great.

In fact, in the past six editions the only cover stars not directly linked with Urban Sea are Workforce in 2010 and Sheikh Joaan Al Thani in 2013. Having said that, Workforce is by King’s Best, a half-brother to – who else?

– Urban Sea, while Sheikh Joaan’s position on the front was secured when he paid a record-breaking five million guineas for a Galileo filly.

With Galileo progeny clustered at the head of betting lists for the Classics and Sea The Stars’ second crop of two-year-olds having thrown up some interesting winners, you wouldn’t bet against one of their progeny fighting their way on to the front cover of the Bloodstock Review 2015.

THE SK Y’S THE L I MI T

SEA THE STARS WAS IMPERIOUS ON THE RACECOURSE AND HIS STUD CAREER HAS STARTED IN EQUALLY IMPRESSIVE VEIN

BY TONY MORRIS

T

HE racehorse who had it all.

That was how Sea The Stars was universally perceived at the end of a perfect three-year-old campaign in 2009 when he notched a Group 1 victory in every month from May to October, dominating his own generation and his elders over a variety of distances.

His victories in the 2,000 Guineas, Derby, Eclipse Stakes, Juddmonte International Stakes, Irish Champion Stakes and Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe clearly established him as Horse of the Decade, and for many observers he was the best racehorse they had ever seen.

That series of triumphs denoted superior class and an extraordinary constitution, as he exhibited speed, stamina, resolution and a formidable turn of foot in top international company.

In addition, this paragon of an athlete was no freak of nature. He was a big, handsome individual and half-brother to a previous three-year-old champion in Galileo who had won the Epsom and Curragh Derbys, plus a King George, and was already a champion sire. The history of thoroughbred racing revealed many instances of top-class performers who failed to make the grade as sires, but how was it possible to believe Sea The Stars would not prove a success in his second career?

If a devil’s advocate had been called on for an opinion, he could have said no more than that there was no evidence for Cape Cross as an effective sire of sires. But surely all those proven assets would outweigh that consideration in the minds of all leading breeders, especially as he was set to cover at neutral Gilltown Stud, where he could expect notable support from the Aga Khan’s exceptional broodmare band?

Sea The Stars was going to be a

success; there really was no doubt about it.

It just remained to be seen how successful.

The market, where just a small minority of his stock appeared, soon indicated it had high expectations. The 13 foals traded from his first crop averaged 324,085gns; the 42 yearlings sold from that generation averaged 233,844gns. Only four foals – a colt and three fillies – went for auction from the second crop, averaging 177,520gns. Meanwhile their sire was yet to be represented on the racecourse.

The stallion had his first runners in 2013 and his results were far from outstanding. He had 35 individual runners in Britain and Ireland with just eight winners of ten races. His top

performer was the filly My Titania, successful in the Group 3 Park Stakes at the Curragh, and in earnings he ranked only fifth among first-season sires behind Mastercraftsman, Intense Focus, Dandy Man and Bushranger, who all had more representatives. His stock earned £118,023, less than a quarter of that garnered by the progeny of Mastercraftsman.

Was that to be considered a disappointing start for Sea The Stars? It seemed so, and his average earnings index of 0.47 provided apparent confirmation.

He had been no superstar at two himself but was a Group 2 winner in the Beresford Stakes, so surely ought to have done better.

Yet how had his half-brother fared with his initial crop in 2005? Galileo ranked seventh among that year’s freshmen, his average earnings index an even more modest 0.44.

The knowledge that Galileo had thrived as soon as he had older runners to represent him, and that he had rapidly established himself as the best sire in the world, allowed the belief Sea The Stars

19

was at least going to make a stronger impression when he had three-year-olds on the racecourse. The market took no notice of the apparently slow start; while the juveniles fared moderately at the track, his 26 auctioned yearlings averaged 175,223gns. Everyone felt sure there was better to come.

And, of course, everyone was right.

Galileo’s breakthrough had come in his second season with runners in 2006 when he had three individual winners of four Group 1s. In 2014 Sea The Stars

emulated his half-brother’s feat in that respect, but whereas Nightime, Sixties Icon and Teofilo did all their winning at home, meaning Galileo shot up to fourth place in the Anglo-Irish sires’ list, Sea The Stars just missed a top ten slot here as two of his Group 1 stars registered their best victories on the other side of the Channel.

However, Sea The Stars returned an excellent winners-to-runners ratio of nearly 50 per cent with his runners at home, rather better than Galileo had achieved in 2006.

Taghrooda was the star turn for Sea The Stars in Britain. Winner of her only start in 2013, as an unconsidered 20-1 shot in a Rowley Mile maiden, she came back with an impressive six-length score in the Listed Pretty Polly Stakes. That display meant she had to be a serious contender for the Oaks, and she duly became her sire’s first Classic winner with a comprehensive triumph by nearly four lengths.

By common consent Taghrooda’s 

was the best performance of any Oaks winner in recent years, and she would have to be every bit as good as her admirers believed if she were to retain her unbeaten record next time. It was a bold decision to forgo the Irish Oaks, which promised to be the proverbial penalty kick, and instead to take on older males, proven at the top level, in the King George. But on the day we had to wonder why the Ascot contest had seemed to represent a tough assignment. The filly positively trounced her accomplished rivals.

That was the best we saw of Taghrooda, who was found to be in season when she disappointed in the Yorkshire Oaks, but she acquitted herself nobly in her farewell venture as an honest third behind Treve and Flintshire in the Arc. She retired with the well-deserved reputation of having been one of the most gifted middle-distance fillies trained in Britain this century.

Although bred by Hamdan Al Maktoum, Taghrooda comes from a family formerly associated with the Aga Khan, and it was an Aga Khan filly, Vazira, who became the first Group 1 winner for her sire in France, profiting from the disqualification of We Are after Longchamp’s Prix Saint-Alary. Vazira’s subsequent form proved unimpressive, and she was no doubt far inferior to Taghrooda, but there can be no denying

the class of Germany’s 2014 star, Sea The Moon, the best colt to represent his sire.

Having failed to sell at 230,000gns when offered as a yearling at Tattersalls, Sea The Moon was retained to race for Gestüt Görlsdorf, winning a maiden at Cologne on his only start at two. He soon made his mark at three, collecting a Group 3 at Frankfurt and the important Group 2 Union-Rennen back at Cologne, decisively in both cases. He was sure to go off favourite for the Deutsches Derby after the latter victory.

If it came as no surprise Sea The

So where does Sea The Stars go from here? The short answer is up Moon headed the market on Derby day in Hamburg, even his keenest supporters were amazed to see him rout his 17 rivals, leading virtually throughout and drawing 11 lengths clear of his closest rival Lucky Lion. The performance was so stunning he was promoted to favouritism for the Arc. Lucky Lion’s victory over Noble Mission in the Bayerisches Zuchtrennen in Munich franked the form, but Sea The Moon’s trainer over-confidently turned him out only 80 per cent fit for the Grosser Preis von Baden in which he

was beaten by four-year-old Ivanhowe. A subsequent career-ending injury meant Sea The Moon had no opportunity to confirm the outstanding merit suggested by his Derby performance, and in 2015 he will start his second career at Lanwades Stud. As his dam is a sister to three German Classic winners, he has more going for him on pedigree than just his illustrious sire.

So where does Sea The Stars go from here? The short answer is up. He has had five seasons at stud, during which he has been favoured by books of excellent quality, and the demand for his stock has matched the demand for his services.

What he has achieved with his first-crop three-year-olds ensures he will serve another book of top-class mares in 2015, allowing the belief his profile will rise for the foreseeable future.

Will he reach the heights Galileo has attained? That has to seem highly unlikely, if for no other reason Galileo has proved himself so exceptional and is continuing to rewrite records and raise his own profile. And we may be sure Sea The Stars will sire no runner as good as himself; regression to the mean will determine that.

But we already know he is capable of getting stock capable of excelling at the highest level of international competition.

There will be plenty more of that sort to come. t

PATIENCE

REWARDED It had been five years since Hamdan Al Maktoum last won a British Group 1 but that all changed this year as Taghrooda and Mukhadram led the charge by Tom Pennington T HAS been a year to remember for Hamdan Al Maktoum’s Shadwell operation. You could say it has enjoyed something of a renaissance.

Sheikh Hamdan’s iconic blue and white silks have graced British and Irish racecourses for the best part of four decades and have been carried by a number of greats. Al Bahathri, Dayjur, Nashwan and Salsabil are just a few who roll off the tongue.

However, results in recent seasons had not quite reflected his past success considering the strength in depth of his broodmare band and his considerable investment in blue-blooded yearlings.

In fact, until this year Sheikh Hamdan had not led a Group 1 performer into the winner’s enclosure in Britain since Awzaan struck in the Middle Park Stakes five years ago.

That all changed this season and in some style. Homebred filly Taghrooda, a first-crop daughter of Sea The Stars, was the leading lady. She blitzed her rivals in the Oaks and in the process provided her owner with a 12th Classic success.

She then took on her elders and the boys in the King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes at Ascot and did not disappoint, coming Mukhadram storms to victory in the Group 1 Eclipse Stakes at Sandown

with a sweeping late run under Shadwell’s retained rider Paul Hanagan to deny Telescope.

The John Gosden-trained filly bowed out with a gallant third behind Treve in the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe and is in line to visit crack miler and former stablemate Kingman at stud next year.

Taghrooda had a strong supporting cast in the summer, headed by Coral-Eclipse winner Mukhadram as well as Blandford Stakes scorer Tarfasha, Jersey Stakes conqueror Mustajeeb and Group 2-winning juveniles Estidhkaar and Muhaarar. All played a part in K

SHADWELL

Sheikh Hamdan leads in Taghrooda after the filly’s Oaks triumph at Epsom

securing Sheikh Hamdan his sixth British champion owners’ title, his first since 2005.

Taghrooda was bestowed the Cartier award for leading three-year-old-filly and Sheikh Hamdan received the Award of Merit to put the icing on a fabulous season.

Although Sheikh Hamdan has not finished outside the owners’ championship top five for nearly 30 years, why have top-flight winners eluded him in recent years and what has brought about the change in fortunes this season?

His racing manger Angus Gold, who has been a part of the fold at Shadwell for 28 years, insists it has just been a case of patience being rewarded.

“I wouldn’t say we’ve had a resurgence,” he says. “But after I’d seen

the yearlings in Ireland last year I told Sheikh Hamdan I felt we had the best bunch of homebreds we’ve had for some time, in terms of physical types and also the pedigrees to match the individuals.

“I feel a culmination of things allowed

What’s encouraging for the future is the number of smart juveniles we have us to get to this position. When I started we went to Kentucky a lot to buy. That’s where the stallion power was. Things have changed and the power has shifted to Europe and we’re beginning to reap the rewards.”

Gold adds: “It’s well documented we

haven’t been using Coolmore stallions.

But there are so many more options now with Dansili, Dubawi, New Approach, Shamardal, Teofilo and of course Sea The Stars, who Sheikh Hamdan is a huge fan of.

“The emergence of Sea The Stars has been a huge thing. He’s a really important horse to the whole industry as well as Shadwell. Of course we want to stand top-class stallions too.”

Gold’s sentiments are echoed by Shadwell Stud director Richard Lancaster.

“We’ve had a few quiet years but I wouldn’t say we’ve changed anything,” he says. “We’ve been patient and things have clicked into place this year.”

Lancaster also admits the emergence of Taghrooda this season gave everyone in the Shadwell camp a shot in the arm. K racingpost.com/bloodstock

“Taghrooda has raised everyone’s morale,” he says. “But she’s been well supported this season by Mukhadram and others. And what’s encouraging for the future is the number of smart juveniles we have coming through – both homebreds and horses bought at the sales.”

A number of those two-year-olds, including the Gosden-trained pair Faydhan and Fannaan, were purchased at Keeneland. And despite the shift in stallion power to Britain and Ireland, Gold is adamant top-class yearlings can still be sourced in the US. “Faydhan and Fannaan look very exciting and prove you can’t ever say there’s no need to go to that sale or this sale – every sale can throw up a good horse,” he says.

“The yearlings in the US aren’t cheap, but I’d say there are fewer people in for the better horses than in Britain or Ireland, which helps. Faydhan, to me, was an absolute standout and he was one of the cheapest by War Front we bought at $500,000.

“DBS has also been lucky for us.

Sheikh Hamdan said a couple of years ago to ‘go to Doncaster and buy two horses for each trainer’, and it’s proved to be a lucky hunting ground.”

Lancaster hopes at least one of the juveniles can progress to the highest level and follow the path taken by Mukhadram to a career at one of Shadwell’s stallion operations at either Nunnery Stud in Norfolk or Derrinstown Stud in County Kildare. The five-year-old, who was bought for 190,000gns as a foal at Tattersalls, will command a commercially friendly fee of £7,000 – “the first couple of years are crucial, you have to get the mares to your stallions” – next season.

“Mukhadram is a son of Shamardal and comes at a time when his sire is on fire,” he says. “His son Lope De Vega is very hot, which is a huge help.

Not only that but Mukhadram is also a greatlooking horse and displayed a great racing

mentality and toughness like his grandsire Giant’s Causeway.

“We did the matings recently and Sheikh Hamdan has a substantial list of mares to send to him.”

Sheikh Hamdan has the final say on all mating plans and is still very much hands-on. His passion for the sport shows little sign of waning.

“The great thing with Sheikh Hamdan is his patience,” Gold says. “He’s spent half his life building this operation and he’s always trying to improve it.

“Zawraq, who won a hot Leopardstown maiden towards the end of the season, is out of a Sadler’s Wells mare who we’d been on about selling as her offspring had been pretty average, but Sheikh Hamdan wouldn’t have it. She could have a superstar now and Sheikh Hamdan will be rubbing our noses in it. You just never know what’s going to happen in this game and I suppose that’s what makes it so appealing to the sheikh.”

One thing we can be sure of is Sheikh Hamdan will continue to play a huge role in the bloodstock industry on a global scale for some years to come.  Zawraq (right), who beat Sir Isaac Newton in a hot Leopardstown maiden, is out of a mare by Sadler’s Wells who had been on the verge of being sold

Middle-distance sires a hard sell SHADWELL stalwart Nayef has had something of a resurgence at stud this year on the back of Jersey Stakes winner Mustajeeb and unbeaten stayer Forgotten Rules, who rounded off the season with an impressive victory in the Qipco British Champions Long Distance Cup. However, Shadwell Stud director and Thoroughbred Breeders’ Association chairman Richard Lancaster is adamant middle-distance stallions are becoming a harder sell and believes in the long-term that could have a detrimental effect on Britain and Ireland’s premier Flat races. ‘‘Middle-distance horses aren’t commercial,’’ he says. ‘‘Frankly, it’s a big worry. If we want to retain our quality race programme, how are we going to do it? ‘‘Many of the middle-distance races attract only relatively small numbers of runners and our big races are eventually going to lose the cachet. This year’s Irish Derby is a case in point but very little is being done about it. ‘‘The simple solution is to increase prize-money at the higher level, to entice breeders to produce middle-distance runners.

Owner-breeders, like Sheikh Hamdan, are essential for the future. They want to win the biggest middle-distance prizes and have the patience that is required.’’ racingpost.com/bloodstock

The successful businessman turned driving force behind Merry Fox Stud already has two Group 1-winning juveniles on the board and has grand future plans by Katherine Fidler RAIG BENNETT is a man with a plan. A 30-year plan.

And given some of his previous plans helped communications retailer Phones 4U grow from a business of 26 staff to a workforce of 10,000, they obviously work.

Speaking alongside his bloodstock adviser Gary Hadden at Tattersalls, the venue at which Bennett made a splash in 2006 when spending seven figures on four foundation broodmares – returning 12 months later to buy three more – he reflects on a year that put his Merry Fox Stud operation well and truly on the map.

“We had a crop of six foals in 2012,” he says. “Three are unraced, one is placed, and two are Group 1 winners.

“Statistically, that’s quite staggering.”

As a businessman and accountant, statistics are a subject that will crop up frequently during the discussion, but it is the subjects of that analysis who are the focus of the interview.

The top-flight pair in question are Cursory Glance, who carried the yellow and orange Merry Fox colours to victory at Royal Ascot before going on to win the Moyglare Stud Stakes for Roger Varian, and Godolphin’s Middle Park hero Charming Thought.

C

“It’s come at the right time for the stud,” says Bennett. “It’s easy to get noticed when you’re spending big money, but it’s harder to get noticed through actually achieving something.”

Big money is certainly true. In 2006 Bennett and agent Charlie Gordon-Watson spent 1,200,000gns at Book 1 on Time Control, the dam of Cursory Glance, and 425,000gns for Charming Thought’s dam Annabelle’s Charm, returning 12 months later to set a then record of 2,500,000gns for the Sadler’s Wells filly Liffey Dancer.

“We wanted to buy some quality and they needed to have the page and the conformation,” says Bennett, who met Gordon-Watson after the agent contacted Phones 4U founder John Caudwell as a prospective client. “If they didn’t have the conformation the page wouldn’t help.

“If you’re going to breed then I think you’ve got to be looking for the conformation because if a mare’s not right, there’s every chance she might throw that to the offspring.

“We needed to tick both boxes, and that’s what we set out to do. It’s so far so good, let’s put it that way!”

Now spending much of his time honing the bloodlines of his fledgling operation, racing is something that

has been in Bennett’s own family for generations.

“I’ve always had an interest in racing,” he says. “I enjoyed racing with my father, and my grandfather was a bookmaker.

The racing would always be on at home, Dad would always have his Saturday yankee, so I got into it from an early age.”

Racing remained a passion of Bennett’s while first spending ten years at BT before joining Caudwell, getting his first taste of ownership in the jumps scene.

“We started by getting into jump racing because it’s easier to get involved – well, it used to be, some of those jumps horses fetch a fortune these days!” he jokes. “We had a few horses with Nicky Richards, about eight or nine at one time.

Money Trix would be the best, he was second in the Lexus twice, then [Scottish Champion Hurdle winner] Noble Alan came along at the same time – and he’s still going, he loves it.”

However, it was a horse who cared rather less for hurling over obstacles at 30mph than Noble Alan who raised Bennett’s profile as an owner.

“We bought Purple Moon to go jumping and target him at the Triumph, that sort of thing,” he says. “He made

his jumps debut in the January of 2007 and won, but he wasn’t impressive.

Then he was beaten by Degas Art in the Scottish Triumph Trial and it was obvious he wasn’t enjoying it.

“Nicky rang a few weeks later and said he didn’t think he’d do what we bought him for, but to consider running him on the Flat. We sent him to Luca Cumani – who was one of the underbidders on him – and had great fun with him.

“He won the Ebor and was second in the Melbourne Cup – he placed in four Group 1s in four different countries and gave us great fun over a number of years.”

Purple Moon’s Ebor win came between Bennett’s two major trips to Tattersalls, at which point the plan was still in its infancy.

“We sold the business in 2006,” says Bennett. “I’d always wanted to get into the breeding side and that’s when we thought we’d get involved, buying quality racingpost.com/ipad

fillies who we can race, and then at the end of their career they can breed.”

The first Merry Fox intake had varied fortunes on the track, with Time Control registering only a Chester maiden success from six starts. But speaking after Cursory Glance won the Albany Stakes in June, Bennett said: “Time Control was a frustrating filly because she had ability but didn’t put everything in. Jamie Spencer said she’d breed a champion because she always kept something back for herself.”

Although the Cheveley Park winner Tiggy Wiggy may have scuppered that particular title, Classic fancy Cursory Glance will now forever be the first Group 1 winner bred by Merry Fox – and in winning, helped her dam into the elite book of mares sent to Darley supersire Dubawi.

“Time Control has a filly foal by War Front and is going to Dubawi next 

Bennett on . . .

Boarding studs

We don’t have an actual stud at home. We board our mares at Fittocks Stud in England, Ballylinch in Ireland, Lane’s End in the US and Haras d’Etreham in France. All first-class establishments with first-class people. If you’re going to do something, do it right.

Breeding to sell We’re trying to breed good-quality racehorses but we’ll keep some and sell some. We need cash to keep coming in to oil the mechanics of the business, we can’t afford to keep every single horse. Hopefully we’ll get the right balance.

Charming Thought He was another big plus for the stud this year.

He was sold for 625,000gns as a yearling, he went to a great trainer in Charlie Appleby and he’s won a Group 1, so we’re still beneficiaries of that in a big way.

year,” says Bennett. “Annabelle’s Charm is going back to Oasis Dream [the sire of Charming Thought]. They’re the big two who have produced the Group horses.

One’s a proven formula, and Dubawi is such a marvellous stallion and works well with Sadler’s Wells.”

As with any breeding operation, matings are key, which is where Bennett’s adviser Hadden plays a major role.

“It’s one thing buying them, it’s another thing altogether breeding them and the matings you’re going to make need to give the mare every chance,” says Bennett. “I’m an accountant by background so I was trying to think from a business and quantitative approach as to which matings would work.

“I had very little knowledge of this at the time and I ended up reading an article Gary had written in Pacemaker magazine, and that article was telling me what I was trying to find out, so I emailed him and we met up.”

Hadden says: “The main thing is a lot of people buy mares to suit the commercial market and to breed for the commercial market, where we look to try to breed a racehorse. Some of the stallions won’t be heavily in commercial demand, but if we see an angle with a mare we’ll use them.”

Bennett adds: “Distorted Humor [the sire of Cursory Glance] would be a case in point. He’s a great stallion, although

he’s much better known in the US than over here. If you look at the cross over Sadler’s Wells mares, it’s something like 12 runners, ten winners and three Group winners.”

In Britain and Ireland alone the nick has produced Cursory Glance, National Stakes winner Pathfork and Prix Jean Prat winner Aesop’s Fables.

“Something clicks with that nick,” says Bennett. “I’ve studied a lot of empirical evidence, trying to bring a proper analytical technique to breeding.

We’ll get some right and we’ll get some wrong, but if you’ve got a sire crossed

It’s one thing buying them, it’s another thing altogether breeding them with a damsire 100 times and there’s no black type produced, it’s highly unlikely the 101st is going to work. It’s just trying to apply that sort of thinking to our breeding programme.”

Hadden adds a further insight into the plan.

“With 99 per cent of the matings Craig would be happy to race the offspring himself,” he says.

Bennett agrees. “That’s the key. If we decide to offer them but they don’t sell, would we be happy to own them?”

Here, Bennett gives away that his belief in statistics is not entirely unyielding.

“Cursory Glance and [fellow homebred] Second Step both went to the yearling sales and neither sold,” says Bennett. “As a consequence we ended up racing them and now have a Group 1 winner and a Listed winner.

“That’s how fate can play its hand.

We could have ended up selling both of them.”

Luckily for Bennett, and his family, both stayed in the Merry Fox fold.

“My wife Annabelle loves racing, she really gets involved and it’s nice we can do something as a family,” says Bennett, whose two children are Vicus, 17, and Jordan, 22.

“She’s the charm behind Annabelle!” he jokes, having named Charming Thought’s dam after his wife. “My mum Lorraine comes racing a lot too.”

With his own family on board, Bennett can focus on nurturing the thoroughbred families in which he has invested so much.

“The main goal is, in 20 or 30 years, for people to look at a page and say, ‘that’s a Merry Fox family’ – like you do with a Cheveley Park or Meon Valley page – and know there’s quality rippling through every generation. That’s what we set out to do in 2006. That’s the plan.” t

Ed Harper, who has taken over the reins at the family-owned stud in Hampshire, on new sensation showcasing and the policy of limiting stallion books by martin Stevens HEN I visit Whitsbury Manor Stud on a drizzly November morning after the Melbourne Cup was run – in which the runner-up spot was filled for the third time by Red Cadeaux, a son of the operation’s late stalwart Cadeaux Genereux and the highest earner conceived in the breeding shed here – stud director Ed Harper is tied up on the office phone tackling a problem; a nice problem to have, but one for which he is nonetheless having to summon all his negotiating and diplomacy skills.

That day the Racing Post has reported Whitsbury Manor’s first-season sire Showcasing is already fully booked for 2015, following the announcement his fee has been more than trebled to £15,000.

That has not deterred breeders who have been taken by the stallion’s impressive results from his first crop of two-year-olds. At the time of writing the record stands at 26 scorers at a 48 per cent winners-to-runners strike-rate, including three at stakes level – easy Mill Reef Stakes scorer Toocoolforschool, £1.3 million Qatar Racing buy and Round Tower Stakes winner Cappella Sansevero and Listed Harry Rosebery Stakes winner Accipiter.

Due to Whitsbury Manor’s policy of limiting books there were only 80 nominations to sell after taking into account breeding rights and, with 400 applications already received, 30-year-old Harper – who has seamlessly taken over the day-to-day running of the stud from his father Chris – is having to politely turn down custom or redirect it to another of his stallions.

So, the crunch question: why not just accept more mares and make hay while the sun shines?

“Dad has always been an advocate of letting people have a good idea of how many you’re going to cover, so breeders can better value the nomination,” says Harper. “We’ve always limited our

W

Ed Harper: ‘‘We will only stand a stallion we truly believe has a chance in the long term’’, and Showcasing (opposite page)

stallions to around the 130 mark, so we didn’t want to suddenly become hypocrites.

“We also don’t want to overwork the horse. We have an agreement with Haunui farm in New Zealand [where Showcasing shuttles for southern hemisphere duty] on how many mares

Some of his best runners have been from the less obvious mares he covered they can cover and I can’t expect them to stick to it if we don’t ourselves.

“Unfortunately diplomacy is something Dad is rather better at than me. I’ve been taught how to sell nominations, not turn people away, so it’s a rather strange new skill I need to improve on. We very much appreciate the

regular support we get from our clients, so disappointing many of them has been the most difficult thing I’ve had to tackle so far.”

For all that Harper does not expect sympathy for standing a successful, in-demand stallion. If anything congratulations are in order for the stud pinpointing and negotiating with Juddmonte to buy Showcasing, a well-bred son of Oasis Dream who won the Gimcrack Stakes at two and was narrowly beaten in the Middle Park and Duke of York Stakes.

Clearly Harper always had faith in Showcasing, but he admits the horse has exceeded expectations.

“We will only ever stand a stallion who we truly believe has an excellent chance in the long term, not just to make a quick return,” he says. “Having said that, we didn’t expect him to get off to a fast start in April and then carry the good results consistently all the way through to October.

“What’s exciting is that some of his best runners have been from the less obvious mares he covered, which is hopefully an indication he has a strong influence on his stock, perhaps over and above his mares.”

And what does Harper think is key to Showcasing’s success?

“First, the depth on the dam’s side: his female page is as good a speed influence as his sire, and I feel the dam’s side of a lot of unsuccessful speed stallions can be their downfall,” he says. “This is why we were so keen to get Swiss Spirit, who has a similar balance of speed on both sides.

“The other key to Showcasing is probably his attitude. He certainly thinks he’s the boss and his runners seem to stick their necks out and battle all the way to the line. He’s had 38 wins in Britain and Ireland, but only 25 seconds, which suggests when they get into a battle they often come out on top.”

sprinters Swiss Diva, Swiss Dream and Swiss Franc by the increasingly influential Invincible Spirit, are foals in 2015. He and Showcasing are joined at Whitsbury Manor by Foxwedge, an Australian Group 1-winning son of Fastnet Rock whose first crop are about to become yearlings, and old stager Compton Place, the July Cup winner who has passed on his speed to high-class sprinters Borderlescott, Deacon Blues and Pearl Secret.

“What attracted us to Showcasing are the same attributes that attracted us to Swiss Spirit,” Harper explains. “Both are by highly successful sons of Green Desert with top-quality maternal families. There are no mixed messages close-up in either of their pedigrees; everything points towards speed.

“Foxwedge is simply the best-looking stallion who has ever stood at Whitsbury.

He has faultless conformation, which is a very rare thing. I wouldn’t want you to print that if I wasn’t absolutely sure.

“Compton Place is like a member of the family. He has never let us down in the sales ring or on the track. You would struggle to find a better value proven sire anywhere and he’s as fertile and healthy as ever. We love him.”

Whitsbury Manor puts its money where its mouth is by supporting the stallions with its own broodmare band.

It bred Showcasing’s three-time winner Clouds Rest and features as co-breeder of Pearl Secret.

“You can’t expect your clients to support your stallion if you’re not willing to support him fully yourself,” Harper reasons.

“We sent 12 of our own mares to Swiss Spirit in his first year and will be doing the same again in 2015. It’s also a good selling point when we’re proposing to go into partnership on a stallion. The partner usually feels a lot more confident when we can explain we have around 60 mares of our own at our disposal.”

And it is competing for new stallions, trying to convince owners of high-achieving colts that

Whitsbury Manor is the best place for them, that is the hardest part of the job, according to Harper.

“We’ve acquired three stallions in my time and each one of them has taken every ounce of effort I have,” he says.

“That’s because so many things need to come together for us compared with the big operations who can buy prospective stallions almost on a whim.

“For us, we usually need a partner in the stallion, as we can rarely afford 100 per cent, but we also need the accountant and the bank manager to be on the same page. We’ve often put 12 to 18 months into getting a stallion only to be gazumped by the big boys at the last second. But that’s the way things are and it just makes it all the sweeter if we can pull it off.”

Harper has assumed the role of the master of Whitsbury Manor from his father naturally with no official handover. Chris Harper – who was awarded the Thoroughbred Breeders’ Association’s most glittering prize, the Andrew Devonshire bronze, this year – has stepped back from running the bloodstock side of the business to concentrate on farming.

Ed Harper is assisted by stud manager Cappella Sansevero: the son of Showcasing, a Group 3 winner and third in the Group 1 Phoenix Stakes, was bought for £1.3 million in June

Phil Haworth, two new members of the team in broodmare manager Joe Grimwade and vet Charlie Pinkham, and plenty of longstanding staff including stud secretary Carole Steel, “who has kept everyone on the straight and narrow for 42 years”.

“I’m lucky that Dad has been including me in business decisions from a young age,” says Harper. “Obviously he put little weight into my thoughts early on but it never seemed like that, so I always felt part of the process.

“If I had to guess it was probably around two years ago that I fully took over the stud. Dad is still a very helpful pair of eyes for the management of the stock, but he spends more time on the arable side of things these days. If I’m half as patient as he’s been when it’s my time to hand things over I’ll feel I’ve done a decent job.”

After Harper has given me a tour of the stud and shown off Swiss Spirit – a strapping, strong-looking individual who looks just like a sprinter should – he returns to the phones to deal with more clients desperate to get their mares into Showcasing. The experience of handling an oversubscribed stallion and frustrated clients should help hone his patience before he hands over Whitsbury Manor to the next generation many years down the line. t racingpost.com/bloodstock

A STALLION WHOSE PROGENY ARE SOUGHT AFTER ON BOTH SIDES OF THE ATLANTIC IS RARE INDEED, BUT SUCH IS THE METEORIC RISE OF THE JOSEPH ALLEN-BRED WAR FRONT BY NANCY SEXTON T IS an increasingly rare stallion who can bridge the gulf between North America and Europe. It can still be done, however, as the meteoric rise of War Front to international stardom has so finely illustrated.

Despite initially operating with medium-sized crops bred off fees as low as $10,000, the Claiborne Farm stallion has sired an impressive number of top-flight performers, ranging from Ballydoyle’s Group 1 winners Declaration Of War and War Command to top dirt sprinter The Factor. Such results, not to mention versatility, have caught the imagination of the world’s leading breeders, several of whom were willing to pay in excess of his advertised fee of $150,000 to secure his services in 2014.

“He covered 107 mares this year and I’d be surprised if there was a horse who bred a better book,” says Bernie Sams, bloodstock manager of Claiborne Farm.

“It’s a case of trying to balance between breeders in North America and Europe – there is a tremendous amount of interest from both.”

War Front’s statistics read as follows: 33 stakes winners, including six Group/ Grade 1 winners, from five crops that comprise 332 foals of racing age. While War Front was well supported from the beginning by Claiborne and his breeder Joseph Allen, in whose colours he raced, the stallion also owes much of his European prominence to Coolmore, who have campaigned eight of his stakes winners.

As a son of Danzig there was a good chance War Front would blossom into a useful sire. However, although placed

at Grade 1 level his most notable victory came in the 2006 Grade 2 Alfred G Vanderbilt Handicap at Saratoga.

“You like a lot of horses and sometimes they don’t work out,” says Allen, who bred War Front out of his Grade 1-placed mare Starry Dreamer, by Rubiano. “But I really did like War Front as a young horse.

“He was originally with Kiaran McLaughlin but things didn’t work out.

He had a few niggling injuries and didn’t really start to roll until Saratoga in August of his three-year-old year with Allen Jerkens. In truth he was sore a lot of the time, but when he was right he was spectacular and was probably unlucky not to get his Grade 1.”

War Front stood his first three seasons at Claiborne for $12,500, which dipped to $10,000 in 2010 when his first crop hit the track. He sired 76 foals in that first crop, 11 of whom became stakes winners including Group/Grade 1 winners Data Link, Summer Soiree and The Factor, plus Hong Kong scorer Sweet Orange.

“When you own part of a stallion you need help to make him,” says Allen, whose penchant for European racing led him to send several of his early War Front progeny to Jean-Claude Rouget in France.

“And that’s where Claiborne have been so fantastic. They’re such a good farm with history – it’s the history of this game that got me into it in the first place. War Front wasn’t a Grade 1 winner and when you have a stallion who’s a little bit under the radar you need numbers to help him.”

And in Claiborne, Allen had a willing partner.

“We bred about eight of our own mares to him in the first year,” remembers Sams. “His best group of mares probably came in his third year from Joe Allen and Claiborne. Seth [Hancock, the farm’s 

S I R E IN DE M A N D

owner] felt so strongly at the time about him that he bred some really nice mares.

“The foals and yearlings sold okay. By the time the two-year-olds came to sell we had 12 contracts sent out. Then when they sold so well that increased to 58.”

War Front ended the select American two-year-old sales season in 2010 with an impressive average of $234,000, indicative of the high regard his progeny were held in.

His first stakes winner arrived in September later that year when Soldat took the With Anticipation Stakes on the turf at Saratoga. A month later Warning Flag (later renamed Sweet Orange) took the Star Appeal Stakes at Dundalk for David Wachman in a taster of what was to come in Europe.

In 2011, Allen joined forces with Coolmore on Declaration Of War, then an unbeaten dual winner for Rouget who was sent to Todd Pletcher for a crack at the Kentucky Derby. Injury denied Declaration Of War his chance to shine in the US but he later returned to Europe to bag the Queen Anne Stakes and Juddmonte International for Aidan O’Brien. He ended his career with an admirable third in the Breeders’ Cup Classic at Santa Anita.

In what was a pivotal year for War Front, 2013 also saw Allen and Coolmore partner on War Command and Lines Of Battle, winners of the Dewhurst Stakes and UAE Derby.

“What Declaration Of War overcame was amazing,” says Allen. “He was thrown into the fire at four when he ran against all of the top horses after missing most of his three-year-old season. If he had changed leads in the stretch of the Breeders’ Cup I’m sure he’d have won.”

Unsurprisingly, War Front’s popularity has soared in the sales ring. At the 2013 Keeneland September Sale his yearlings averaged $401,639 off a $15,000 fee. At this year’s renewal he returned an average of $491,375 and in April was responsible for a colt, General Marshall, who sold for a European breeze-up record of 1.15 million guineas to Jamie McCalmont at the Tattersalls Craven Sale.

There were 25 two-year-olds by War racingpost.com/ipad

Claiborne Farm bloodstock manager Bernie Sams: ‘‘I’d be surprised if there was a horse who bred a better book’’

Front listed in training in Britain and Ireland for 2014, including 11 with O’Brien. They included Listed winner The Great War as well as the Group 3-placed Royal Navy Ship. Ballydoyle also housed older Listed winners Due Diligence, Giovanni Boldini and Guerre.

Coolmore’s support has continued unabated. As well as signing for at least $3.99 million-worth of War Front yearlings in the US this year, they have sent him several choice mares including Oaks winners Alexandrova and Was and the Group 1-placed Gagnoa.

War Front sired his sixth Group/ Grade 1 winner in September when Qatar Racing’s Peace And War took the

Alcibiades Stakes at Keeneland. It was a first try on dirt for the filly, whose victory vindicated Allen’s belief in War Front’s ability to sire top dirt runners.

“I’m convinced he’s just as good a sire of dirt runners as he is for those on turf,” he says. “The Factor came out of his first crop and [Grade 2 winner] Departing is very good. I think the dirt aspect is something that we’ll see a lot more of as his better crops come through.”

While Peace And War is an exciting prospect for next year, more should also be heard of Hamdan Al Maktoum’s two-year-old Faydhan, a six-length winner on his debut for John Gosden.

“They do it on dirt, turf and Polytrack,” says Sams. “They like to train, are sound and can take plenty of work.”

War Front is already represented by eight sons at stud worldwide, including Declaration Of War, who is relocating to Coolmore’s Kentucky division for 2015.

His place in Ireland has been taken by War Command, while Claiborne is home to Data Link, who will stand his second season for $7,500 next year. The Factor’s first crop are foals.

“Data Link was extremely easy to syndicate – the shares in him flew off the shelf,” says Sams. “We also bought a mare at Tattersalls last year to support Declaration Of War.” As for Allen, he sent three mares to Declaration Of War and is set to send “substantially more” in 2015 now he is available in Kentucky.

Of the ride War Front has taken him on, Allen says: “I don’t think anyone could have predicted this. That’s the industry – if I could predict what would happen in it I’d be a very rich man!” t

Tiggy Wiggy runs away with the Lowther Stakes at York

Like father, like son – seamless transition at top Speedball Tiggy Wiggy stole a march on rivals as Richard Hannon led the way by Tom Pennington

ICHARD HANNON SNR was a master at training juveniles and his talent appears to have rubbed off on his son Richard, who campaigned star filly Tiggy Wiggy with great skill this year.

The diminutive terrier made her debut in March when a taking winner of a Kempton maiden – only the second two-year-old race in Britain of the season. Despite the seven-length winning margin, no-one could have envisaged the year she would have, culminating with a gutsy win in the Cheveley Park Stakes at the end of September.

In the process of winning at Newmarket she became a first top-flight scorer for K

her sire Kodiac, who was one of the breakthrough stallions of the year with a long list of talented performers, including stakes scorers Coulsty and Kodi Bear.

On the road to Newmarket, Tiggy Wiggy ran seven times, losing twice, with the second of those defeats encountered at Royal Ascot to Anthem Alexander, who was one of two winners at the royal meeting for Starspangledbanner alongside Coventry Stakes scorer and subsequent Prix Morny victor The Wow Signal. Coolmore, so taken with the subfertile stallion’s small first crop of juveniles, have recalled Starspangledbanner from Australia for next year’s breeding season.

Tiggy Wiggy put up arguably her finest performance in the Lowther Stakes at York. Breaking from the stalls in her customary bullet-like fashion, she built up a healthy advantage under regular pilot Richard Hughes and gradually burnt off old rivals Anthem Alexander and Cursory Glance.

Cursory Glance went on to win the Moyglare Stud Stakes with the form working out brilliantly – second was subsequent Rockfel Stakes winner Lucida, third Prix Marcel Boussac winner Found (one of two Aidan O’Brien-trained Group 1-winning juvenile daughters of Galileo this season, with Together Forever winning the Fillies’ Mile).

Roger Varian’s filly goes into the winter break as one of the leading fancies for the 1,000 Guineas. Hannon indicated the Newmarket Classic could be on Tiggy Wiggy’s agenda, but the pocket rocket

possesses so much speed one would think a mile would be stretching her stamina.

Ivawood gets bogged down Tiggy Wiggy’s stablemate Ivawood went into the Middle Park Stakes on Future Champions Day as a hot favourite following a hat-trick of victories, including impressive wins in the July and Richmond Stakes. The imposing colt, who is the leading performer from the first crop of Kodiac’s Tally-Ho studmate Zebedee, struggled to get rolling in the testing conditions at Newmarket and was collared close home by Charming Thought.

The Godolphin-owned Oasis Dream colt, who was bred by Cursory Glance’s owner

Craig Bennett, stepped up markedly on the form he had shown when landing a novice stakes at Leicester the time before.

Hannon was also responsible for Estidhkaar, who arrived at Newmarket for the Dewhurst Stakes on the back of a fruitful season, with a pair of Group 2 wins in the Superlative Stakes and Champagne Stakes.

The Dark Angel colt, a half-brother to last year’s champion juvenile Toormore, failed to spark on the Rowley Mile after veering right leaving the stalls, plugging on to finish fourth behind Varian’s charge Belardo, who had been well beaten by Estidhkaar at Doncaster.

No holding back bargain buy Limato ONE of the most astonishing two-year-old performances of the year belonged to Henry Candy’s Tagula gelding Limato, who capped an unbeaten campaign with a hard-held victory in Redcar’s Listed Two-Year-Old Trophy.

Limato’s four-race unbeaten run began with a victory at Kempton in June. He followed up at the same track before readily

beating subsequent Group 3 winner Cotai Glory in the Rose Bowl Stakes at Newbury.

Limato (left) is proof owners do not have to break the bank in order to live the dream. He was bought at the DBS August Yearling Sale for £41,000 by Peter and Ross Doyle in 2013. The Doyles struck for another son of veteran

Rathbarry Stud sire Tagula at DBS in 2008 when paying £50,000 for subsequent five-time Group 1 winner Canford Cliffs.

Next year’s Classics, as a gelding, are out of the equation for Limato, but Candy will surely have a campaign mapped out that encompasses top-flight targets – possibly the inaugural three-year-old sprint at Royal Ascot. And his pedigree suggests he should be up to the challenge, descending from a family that includes top-class Compton Admiral and The Fugue.

Stud resident Lope De Vega, appeared to improve for a first-time hood, and so taking was the manner of his victory Darley snapped up a majority share in the colt. Belardo will be targeted at the 2,000 Guineas, as will his paternal half-brother Flaming Spear, who lived up to his glowing home reputation when breaking his maiden at York on his only start in high summer.

Ballydoyle battalions Aidan O’Brien has a wealth of talented juveniles to aim at next year’s Classics.

Five of the top six in the Derby betting are trained at Ballydoyle and four of them are by the all-conquering Galileo.

Gleneagles was his standout juvenile colt, finishing first past the post in five of six starts. He lined up at Longchamp for the Prix Jean-Luc Lagardère following a cosy victory in the National Stakes. After displaying his trademark change of gear in the final furlong in Paris, he drifted right under a left-hand drive from Joseph O’Brien, causing interference to Full Mast and Territories in the process, leading to demotion to third place.

Gleneagles possesses so much speed – he is a brother to this year’s Irish 1,000 Guineas heroine Marvellous – a mile will surely be his optimum trip next year and he looks capable of becoming his trainer’s seventh winner of the 2,000 Guineas.

O’Brien’s regally bred two-year-old Ol’ Man River – a Goffs sale-topping son of Montjeu and Anglo-Irish 1,000 Guineas heroine Finsceal Beo – looked likely to be his trainer’s number one candidate for the Racing Post Trophy, but the team at Coolmore decided to pull stumps after an easy win in the Beresford Stakes. This left the door ajar on Town Moor and the Andrew Balding-trained Elm Park stepped through it with style.

The statuesque juvenile was bred by Balding’s mother Emma at the family’s Kingsclere Stud and is by Phoenix Reach, who put Andrew’s name on the training map with three top-flight successes in the

Canadian International, Dubai Sheema Classic and Hong Kong Vase.

Elm Park did nothing but improve with each race, breaking his maiden at Newbury before scoring at Listed level at Salisbury, after which he was snapped up by Qatar Racing. He carried the maroon and gold colours to a gutsy win in the Royal Lodge Stakes, a race in which he appeared to struggle on the Rowley Mile’s undulations.

He was then sent off a heavily backed favourite for the Racing Post Trophy and did not disappoint, leading from the outset and putting the race to bed more than a furlong out to run out a ready winner.

Such was his sire’s improvement from two to three, it would be foolish not to think Elm Park could develop into a live Classic contender for 2015. t

Kingman comes out top of extraordinarily talented tree A SURPRISE RESULT AT NEWMARKET BUT A HOST OF BIG-RACE STARS EMERGED FROM WHAT PROVED ONE OF THE STRONGEST 2,000 GUINEAS OF THE FLEDGLING CENTURY BY KATHERINE FIDLER HE 2014 season was a truly vintage one, seemingly improving with every weekend as racegoers were treated to plenty of memorable performances. But unlike Sea The Stars’ dominance of the 2009 season or the Frankel years, no one horse was responsible for creating the string of highlights that together formed a fiesta of Flat performances to savour.

Strictly going by the number of Group 1s won – or the Cartier Horse of the Year accolade – it was Kingman who was top of the extraordinarily talented tree.

The son of Invincible Spirit gave a none too subtle hint as to his potential when winning both outings in 2013 by a combined eight lengths, performances that kept him to the forefront of ante-post betting for the season’s first Classic.

T

Night Of Thunder (right) defeats Kingman (nearside) and Australia in what proved a vintage 2,000 Guineas at Newmarket

racingpost.com/ipad

A seasonal debut in the Greenham Stakes did nothing to dampen the spirits of either connections or punters, giving runner-up Night Of Thunder a four-and-a-half-length beating at Newbury – a winning margin greater than that recorded by his fellow Juddmonte superstar Frankel in the race, prompting comments from some quarters that he could be the champion’s successor.

Heretical though that may have been to some, Kingman was duly sent off 6-4 favourite for the 2,000 Guineas, with Ballydoyle hope Australia the second-most fancied runner at 5-2.

But it was not to be. Kingman failed to emulate his predecessor when beaten into second by Night Of Thunder after a

split field and genius ride by Kieren Fallon aligned to earn Darley sire Dubawi a second Newmarket Classic following Makfi in 2010.

The post-race atmosphere at Newmarket was noticeably deflated; Kingman and Australia, two of the season’s biggest hopes, were both defeated by a 40-1 shot whom champion jockey Richard Hughes had turned down. It was not the dream result.

As we now know, however, this year’s 2,000 Guineas was one of the strongest of this fledging century. Kingman made amends when winning the Irish equivalent as though it was no more than a piece of work from Newmarket fourth Shifting Power, who also 

went on to finish second in the Prix Jean Prat behind Charm Spirit.

Charm Spirit had finished fifth in the Newmarket Classic but was a triple Group 1-winning miler come the end of Champions Day after he beat Night Of Thunder and Guineas seventh Toormore in the Queen Elizabeth II Stakes.

Mastercraftsman, who led the brigade of top-flight horses thrown in Sea The Stars’ path in a futile attempt to derail that horse’s relentless march to superstardom, fielded two runners at Newmarket – eighth-placed Kingston Hill, who earned the sire a Classic when landing the St Leger, and tenth-placed The Grey Gatsby, who had achieved the same feat earlier but with a Gallic twist after winning the Prix du Jockey Club.

The Grey Gatsby’s finest hour came when he denied Australia in the Irish Champion Stakes, a race in which both the runner-up’s sire Galileo and dam Ouija Board were also defeated.

Australia went into the race having lived up to all the expectation placed upon him as a result of both his parentage and connections.

After the Guineas, a race in which defeat did less to dent his reputation than Kingman’s given he has a strong staying pedigree, Australia lined up at Epsom the short-priced favourite and did not disappoint, rolling with ease over the downs’ historic undulations, the same turf across which both his sire and dam before him had penned their names into the annals of racing history.

The win earned a fourth consecutive Epsom victory for team Coolmore, which had spent 525,000gns to secure the colt at Tattersalls as a yearling, and a third in the race for Galileo, also the sire of 2008 winner

Australia went on to land the Irish equivalent with ease before adding the Juddmonte International to his tally, beating his future conqueror The Grey Gatsby by two lengths. A trip to Ascot for Champions Day was lined up to avenge the Leopardstown defeat but racing is not always one to follow the script, and a hoof abscess led to his premature retirement.

marked her as special, beating the likes of Eclipse winner Mukhadram, Trading Leather and Magician.

Taghrooda suffered a shock defeat at 1-5 in the Yorkshire Oaks when second to Tapestry, a daughter of Galileo out of Miesque’s Group 1-winning granddaughter Rumplestiltskin who had finished second to Bracelet in the Irish Oaks. Taghrooda lined up next at Longchamp for a tilt at the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe and ran a gallant race to finish third from an outside stall.

While few would have begrudged Taghrooda a win, her defeat was not the talking point at Longchamp that day, but rather her conqueror’s comeback of epic proportions.

Treve, for many horse of the year in 2013, had floundered during the early months of 2014 – less to do with the mammoth weight of expectation and more to do with a string of physical issues that plagued the daughter of Motivator. While there was no excuse for her defeat in a prolonged battle with Cirrus Des Aigles in the Ganay, a lacklustre third in the Prince of Wales’s behind The Fugue was later found to be due to a back injury.

A fourth on her return in the Prix Vermeille did little to suggest the filly was back to her brilliant best, but those who stuck with her were rewarded with an 11-1 victory as Al Shaqab’s pricey purchase created her own slice of history to record back-toback victories under Thierry Jarnet.

But while Treve helped a generation of racing fans create new memories, another can be credited with evoking old ones.

Noble Mission (above left) defeats Al Kazeem in the Champion Stakes at Ascot; (top right) Slade Power runs away with the Diamond Jubilee Stakes at the royal meeting; Miss France wins the 1,000 Guineas to give Andre Fabre a full set of British Classics

Noble Mission, for so long in the shadow of his illustrious elder brother Frankel, this season challenged his sibling for the nation’s affections. Not for bettering the performances of Frankel but for keeping them – and those of his master trainer Sir Henry Cecil – fresh in the memory.

When Frankel bowed out in the 2012 Champion Stakes it was to be something of a last hurrah for Cecil, who died in the days before the next year’s Royal Ascot.

Cecil’s widow Jane promptly took over the reins, sending out two emotional winners at the royal meeting. But it was Noble Mission, the horse trained by both, who

ensured the Group 1 flag flew over Warren Place in May when winning the Tattersalls Gold Cup, and later provided the season with a fairytale end few would dare to imagine when emulating his brother to win the Champion Stakes in the most dramatic fashion, going eight rounds with comeback king Al Kazeem up the straight and grinding down his rival to score by a neck.

The pair may not have been the two most talented horses to grace the turf in 2014, but their duel ensured a fitting end to what was a remarkable season – and reminded us legends of the turf, be they horse or human, are sometimes gone but never forgotten. 

Failed stallions back with a bang IT IS an inevitable, albeit unfortunate, part of racing that occasionally a star of the track will prove infertile – or subfertile – after retiring to stud. In the past two years three notable cases have arisen in the form of Al Kazeem, Caspar Netscher (left) ( and Reckless Abandon.

Having been given a taste of stud life, the inclination to spend days running fruitlessly around the track does not

always return. Luckily for John Deer, however, Al Kazeem’s appetite for racing returned with gusto on his repatriation to Roger Charlton’s yard after getting only around 25 mares in foal at the Royal Studs.

He soon bolstered his winning tally in the Group 3 Winter Hill Stakes and then formed one half of a historic duel up the Ascot straight when second to Noble Mission in the Champion Stakes.

Caspar Netscher had a head start on

Al Kazeem, having returned to training with David Simcock last year. Although making a promising first run back he then floundered in black-type company, including when seventh at Newmarket in a Listed race in which Reckless Abandon was third.

However, a change of scene when lining up at Woodbine did the trick, with the son of Dutch Art landing the Grade 2 Nearctic Stakes in October.

Treve back to her best and more is to come Criquette Head-Maarek displays her training genius to snare another Arc with star filly

by Scott burton HIS was a season woven with storylines as unpredictable as they were uplifting. The racing year was headlined by the training genius of Criquette Head-Maarek, who brought Treve back from a series of demoralising defeats and injury to be crowned the first dual winner of the Qatar Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe in 36 years.

Yet Treve was not the only Group 1 headline-maker at Head-Maarek’s Chantilly yard, with Full Mast and Epicuris holding the promise of Classic glory for the trainer and longtime ally Khalid Abdullah in 2015 after their successes in the Prix Jean-Luc Lagardère and Critérium de Saint-Cloud.

The Niarchos family continued the form of its remarkable 2013 campaign as Karakontie bookended the year with victories in the Poule d’Essai des Poulains and at the Breeders’ Cup and there was the fairytale ascent of Avenir Certain, one of a gaggle of big-race winners to emerge from Arqana’s ‘second string’ October sale.

And 2014 was also the year of the breeze-up kings. The Wow Signal’s success in the Prix Morny was a fine advert for Ascot’s two-year-old sale, while Arqana graduate The Grey Gatsby showed the sky is the

Olympic Glory began the sheikh’s French adventure with victory in the 2012 Prix Jean-Luc Lagardère and brought the curtain down on his racing career with a devastating last-to-first success over the same course and distance in the Prix de la Forêt. The son of Choisir now heads to the operation’s fledgling Haras de Bouquetot to join Planteur and Style Vendome on the stallion roster.

The maroon and white silks of Sheikh Abdullah Al Thani (Sheikh Joaan’s uncle) have been a familiar sight on French racecourses for some time and found their most successful conveyance to date in the shape of Charm Spirit, who ended 2014 as second only to his paternal sibling Kingman among the ranks of European milers.

Consigned by Ecurie des Monceaux, it was trainer Freddy Head who secured the

winning bid of €140,000 at the 2012 Arqana October Yearling Sale. Charm Spirit entered 2014 very much in the ‘promising’ bracket of France’s Classic generation, having run on to be third behind Karakontie in the Lagardère at two. But Head was to embark on a Group 1 spree with the son of Invincible Spirit, bagging the Prix Jean Prat, Prix du Moulin and finally the Queen Elizabeth II Stakes at Ascot.

Charm Spirit then became the catalyst for a new partnership between Qatar Bloodstock and the Aga Khan Studs, one which will see him stand his first season at Tweenhills Stud while Makfi goes to the Aga’s Haras de Bonneval in Normandy. certain advertising pin-up Avenir Certain will certainly feature heavily in Arqana’s promotional material after emerging from a low-key (although unbeaten) preparation to demolish her rivals in the Poule d’Essai des Pouliches. Despite doubts about her ability to stay, she was then aimed at the Prix de Diane and produced an even better performance that drew comparisons from her overwhelmed trainer Jean-Claude Rouget with the mighty Zarkava.

Augustin-Normand’s 2009 Jockey Club hero Le Havre, Avenir Certain was indeed fait à la maison, as she was bred at Haras de la Cauvinière by Elizabeth Vidal out of the Mark Of Esteem mare Puggy.

A bid of €45,000 secured Avenir Certain for Rouget and longtime associate Antonio Caro in October 2012, with Vidal’s husband Sylvain only too happy to advise Augustin-Normand to come on board following a debut success at Bordeaux.

Reflecting on her progress shortly before the Arc, Rouget told the Racing Post: “She started out in life with no chance and ended up winning the Prix de Diane.”

Like her Arc conqueror Treve (another October offering at Arqana), Avenir Certain is due to remain in training in 2015 and, if her model temperament remains intact, she will surely add to her haul of big-race success. gatsby breezes to Jockey Club success The traditional target of breeze-up buyers might be the sharp, ready-to-run juvenile.

But the success of Prix du Jockey Club hero The Grey Gatsby demonstrates just how two-year-old sales are evolving.

Agent Stephen Hillen liked the son of Mastercraftsman so much he bought him twice. First for €24,000 at the Arqana October Yearling Sale, then for €120,000 on behalf of trainer Kevin Ryan and owner Frank Gillespie at the Arqana Breeze Up Sale at Saint-Cloud the following May. With some French trainers and breeders calling for the Jockey Club to revert to its traditional Derby distance of a mile and a half, The Grey Gatsby’s victory came as a timely boost to the current version.

Avenir Certain follows up her Pouliches win with success in the Prix de Diane

Having been deemed good enough to run in the 2,000 Guineas at Newmarket (not disgraced in tenth), Ryan’s charge then backed up his Chantilly success with two excellent efforts in all-age company, chasing home Australia in the Juddmonte International Stakes at York before downing the Derby winner in the Leopardstown rematch.

Trainer John Quinn’s son Sean paid £50,000 for The Wow Signal at the Brightwells breeze-up sale in April, an investment that brought its first reward little more than six weeks later when the son of Starspangledbanner won what might be one of the best maidens ever run at Ayr by a yawning nine lengths.

of Al Shaqab, whose delighted patron Sheikh Joaan was on hand once again when he confirmed his Group 1 credentials in a red-hot Prix Morny at Deauville, defeating future Breeders’ Cup hero Hootenanny. A poor scope explained The Wow Signal’s only defeat when returning to France for the Lagardère and those who prefer to recall the colt’s effort at Deauville will retain the faith that further glory awaits in 2015. head-Maarek’s matchless skills And so to the house that Criquette built on Avenue du Général Leclerc. Treve began the year as an unbeaten paragon but was to suffer the loss not only of her unbeaten record but any semblance of invincibility in defeats to Cirrus Des Aigles, The Fugue and, just three weeks before the Arc, Baltic Baroness.

Head-Maarek’s inexhaustible passion for the art of training found its ultimate challenge – namely how to treat physical problems with the filly’s feet and back sufficiently to enable her to regain her explosive acceleration – and proved her matchless skills as the daughter of Motivator once again waltzed away from her Arc rivals.

In the context of a breeding empire that has so recently turned up Frankel, Noble Mission and Kingman, the emergence of the Head-Maarek duo Full Mast and Epicuris provides Juddmonte with more Classic aspirants for the season to come. As a first Group 1 winner for Rail Link out of a Listed-placed mare trained by Head-Maarek, Epicuris is very much ‘made in France’, a point his trainer was quick to point out in the wake of his romp in the Critérium de Saint-Cloud. t

Leading lady Untapable does it for dad as Rosie plays mum ITH no dominant single performer it is quite a tricky call to know where to start with any review of the US racing season.

As many as four or five horses can be regarded as serious contenders for the Horse of the Year title, so maybe we should start instead with the Gainesway sire Tapit, who set a single-season earnings record for a North American-based stallion when star three-year-old filly Untapable – one of those in contention for the top honour – ensured she would be acclaimed champion female with a decisive victory in the Breeders’ Cup Distaff at Santa Anita. He also sired the Belmont Stakes victor Tonalist.

“He just continues to deliver the goods – he’s the king of stallions in North America,” said Gainesway director of sales Michael Hernon, who noted that Tapit enjoyed success with an array of horses including good winners on dirt, turf or synthetic.

“He’s a gift,” Hernon added.

A Classic finish to America’s richest race as working class hero and gallant Brit are just denied by nicholas godfrey fee (double this year’s figure) in 2015, was raced by Winchell Thoroughbreds, which retains a half-interest in the stallion and whose colours were carried by Untapable, its second Breeders’ Cup winner after Tapizar in the 2012 Dirt Mile. “The reason we’re here today is because of Tapit,” said Ron Winchell after the Distaff. “That kind of sums it up. He’s brought us here now with two Breeders’ Cup winners, so I really give him credit for making all of it look easy for us. He deserves the credit.”

Untapable, who stays in training, won six of her seven starts in 2014, four of them in Grade 1 company including the Kentucky Oaks. Her first four successes were achieved by a cumulative 31 lengths for trainer Steve Asmussen, whose season was almost derailed when he became embroiled in controversy owing to a hidden-camera sting

by Peta (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals).

Bayern (right) wins a Breeders’ Cup Classic thriller from Toast Of New York (centre) and California Chrome

Untapable’s regular jockey was Rosie Napravnik, who stunned the racing world in the immediate aftermath of her Distaff triumph by announcing her retirement live on TV to start a family. The world’s most successful female rider was seven weeks’ pregnant at the time.

Such was Untapable’s superiority over her own sex she would have been favourite for Horse of the Year honours but for a single unsightly blemish on her record when she threw in a clunker on her only start against her male counterparts. Made favourite for the $1 million Haskell Invitational at Monmouth Park in July, she could finish only fifth behind runaway winner Bayern.

Bayern bags the prize At the time, the winner looked not much more than a front-runner who had inherited an easy lead, a suggestion seemingly borne out by dismal displays in both the Preakness and Travers Stakes. He looked a bit better than that, however, on his two subsequent starts when he won the Pennsylvania Derby before an all-the-way success in a K

nerve-shredding Breeders’ Cup Classic, where he just held off gallant Upper Lambourn visitor Toast Of New York by a nose, with local hero California Chrome only a neck further behind in a thrilling three-way finale. The drama continued to play out as Bayern had to survive a stewards’ inquiry into interference at the start, where he took a dramatic left-hand turn straight out of the gate under Martin Garcia.

The son of Offlee Wild survived to provide Californian-based legend Bob Baffert with his first success in North America’s senior race – albeit a success always likely to be tinged with a trace of controversy. More than one expert thought the winner should have been thrown out; indeed, there were those who also felt Toast Of New York was on shaky ground after a less obvious manoeuvre at the gate.

Be that as it may, Baffert was left proclaiming the virtues of a horse he felt would have been fast enough to run in the Breeders’ Cup Sprint over half a mile shorter. “When he is right he’s poison out of the gate,” suggested Baffert. “He can win going six, seven furlongs, a mile or a mile and a quarter. He’s so tough and he’s just getting better and better. He’s the kind of horse I could have run [the day before] in the Sprint, Mile or Classic.”

The Classic produced an amazing result, with the first six horses home all representing the Classic generation.

Classic generation in command The supremacy of the three-year-old crop among the males was not merely a reflection on the dire nature of the previous year’s three-year-old crop, it also reflected a series of retirements of the leading lights among the older horses, headed by Mucho Macho Man and Will Take Charge, leading players in a similarly memorable finish to the Breeders’ Cup Classic in 2013. That year’s Belmont Stakes winner Palace Malice did add to his lustre with four wins, including a gutsy Met Mile, before joining them on the way to stud after sustaining severe cannonbone bruising. The decision was soon reversed: Palace Malice will be back on the racetrack as a five-year-old.

The other noteworthy performer on the dirt was four-year-old Goldencents, who

Blue-collar hero Chrome the early season standout CLEAR star of the show for the first half of the season was California Chrome, the blue-collar hero who blasted his way through a six-race winning spree culminating in emphatic victories in both the Kentucky Derby and Preakness Stakes. In the process he became a latter day Seabiscuit, taken to the hearts of the public.

Much of California Chrome’s popularity was derived from his humble connections. Trainer Art Sherman is a 77-year-old veteran with a string of about 20 who had never before had a runner in the Kentucky Derby; part-owner Steve Coburn (below) worked for a company that makes magnetic strips for credit cards and hotel keys. ‘‘I think it’s the story behind the horse – it shows a dream can come true,’’ he said.

completed back-to-back victories in the Breeders’ Cup Dirt Mile with an astonishing all-the-way triumph, duelling through Quarterhorse fractions before having enough in hand to hold off Tapiture. This was another victory tainted by controversy as Goldencents was saddled by Leandro Mora, who goes down as the trainer of record. Mora is longtime assistant to Doug O’Neill, banned from making any Breeders’ Cup entries after his latest drugs violation in New York.

Goldencents could probably have won

On Partnership before they struck out on their own to buy California Chrome’s dam Love The Chase for just $8,000, using the initials ‘DAP’ for the purchase. The initials stood for Dumb Ass Partners: at the sale, someone remarked that only a dumbass would buy the Maryland-bred mare, who had won just once. For her first mating they bred her to cheap stallion Lucky Pulpit.

The offspring carries purple silks with a green bucktoothed jackass on the back. On the front of the silks and on his blinkers are the letters DAP. The wheels came off the Chromies’ wagon in the Belmont Stakes, however, where he ran out of puff and could finish only fourth behind Tapit’s son Tonalist, who was later to produce another top-class performance at the New York track against his elders in the Jockey Club Gold Cup. But another three-year-old may prove best of them all. Previous year’s champ Shared Belief missed the Triple Crown campaign through injury and when he returned the son of Candy Ride won the Pacific Classic at Del Mar on the Polytrack before showing his aptitude for dirt in the Awesome Again Stakes, after which he was sent off favourite for the Breeders’ Cup Classic.

The fact it was Shared Belief whom Bayern mainly cannoned into offered the root cause of the outcry when the placings remained unaltered: Shared Belief finished fourth, his jockey Mike Smith claiming ‘‘he would have won four lengths’’ otherwise. Point taken, albeit with a healthy pinch of salt.

Sheikhzayedroad: one of three big-race winners in Canada for David Simcock

twist at the start of August when several leading American trainers – including the likes of messrs Mott, Lukas and Pletcher – lent support to a plan gradually to eliminate Furosemide (still better known by former trade name Lasix) on racedays, starting as early as 2015. Pigs might fly, but at least it is a step in the desired direction.

Dual champion Beholder was unable to defend her Distaff crown after spiking a temperature the week before the race, while Juddmonte’s multiple Grade 1 winner Close Hatches fell apart in the autumn after looking next to unbeatable earlier in the season.

The estimable Wise Dan may have won the last two Horse of the Year titles but he will not be completing a hat-trick, despite going unbeaten in four starts in a season interrupted by a colic operation. He has won 17 of his last 19 starts and has 11 Grade 1 victories to his name but was ruled out of his Breeders’ Cup Mile defence with a non-displaced fracture at the bottom of the cannonbone of his right front fetlock; in his absence, French-trained Karakontie – a grandson of the great Miesque, who carried the winning Niarchos Family colours to victory twice in the Breeders’ Cup Mile – led home a European 1-2-3 to spare the continent’s blushes at a meeting where success was in short supply.

Even without Wise Dan, one turf horse may well feature on the Horse of the Year ballot in Main Sequence, the 2012 Derby runner-up who has been rejuvenated by a switch to Graham Motion’s Maryland stable.

Following a gelding operation and with Lasix on the menu, the five-year-old has won four out of four in the US, all of them Grade 1s, including a half-length verdict over Flintshire in the Breeders’ Cup Turf.

Europe did succeed elsewhere on the North American turf calendar, notably in Canada where Newmarket-based David Simcock won a trio of lucrative prizes with Sheikhzayedroad (Northern Dancer Turf ), Trade Storm (Woodbine Mile) and Caspar Netscher (Nearctic). Just The Judge landed her only victory since last year’s Irish 1,000 Guineas in the EP Taylor before Hillstar easily repelled the domestic challenge in the Canadian International to maintain Europe’s fine record in Canada’s most prestigious race.

Conversely, the Arlington Million stayed in North America courtesy of the unheralded Hardest Core, trained by Eddie Graham. A gelded son of Hard Spun, the four-year-old had been purchased to go jumping. On the same card, Team Valor’s Euro Charline took the Beverly D for Marco Botti while Ballydoyle struck in the Secretariat Stakes with subsequent Cox Plate victor Adelaide. shock as Brandi takes charge Now for the two-year-olds.

Charge Brandi supplied a 66-1 shocker in the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies to provide the legendary D Wayne Lukas, 79, with his 20th Cup winner to extend his own record mark at the meeting. She was not an easy winner to find, having failed to register in four starts since her maiden and being miles behind the Olly Stevens-trained Peace And War on her previous outing at Keeneland.

The Kentucky venue’s new dirt track met with rave reviews, by the way, which is just as well as Keeneland is set to host the 2015 Breeders’ Cup. Del Mar, too, has ripped up the Polytrack, in effect signalling the end of the synthetics experiment Stateside – and perhaps further afield as well, given Meydan is also reverting to dirt for the current Dubai season.

Back to the US, where Texas Red, a son of dual Classic winner Afleet Alex, took the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile by a thumping six lengths-plus margin. Fine, except all the talk afterwards was about the horse who was not there, ante-post favourite American Pharoah, who had Texas Red back in third on their previous outing. “The first thing I thought when he was drawing away was, ‘How good is American Pharoah’?”admitted winning trainer Keith Desormeaux, brother of Kent, who rode Texas Red. Finally, a couple of notable training achievements at the Breeders’ Cup must go on record. Royal Ascot regular Wesley Ward had never trained a winner at the meeting before this year; now he has two in Judy The Beauty (Filly & Mare Sprint) and Hootenanny (Juvenile Turf ), whose victory under the irrepressible Frankie Dettori brought memories of Royal Ascot to southern California after the colt’s Windsor Castle Stakes success in the summer. From just six Cup runners in 2014, Ward managed two winners, three seconds and a third.

New York-based Chad Brown did even better with three winners – Dayatthespa (Filly & Mare Turf ), Bobby’s Kitten (Turf Sprint) and the ultra-impressive Lady Eli (Juvenile Fillies Turf ) – to confirm the burgeoning impression he has earned the right to be considered the number one turf trainer in the US. As for his horses, let us just say Lady Eli really ought to be on the radar for Royal Ascot next year with the Coronation Stakes in mind. t racingpost.com/bloodstock

Jezki gets the job done in race on everyone’s lips A CHAMPION HURDLE TO SAVOUR AS A HOST OF NEW NAMES WERE ADDED TO FESTIVAL ROLL OF HONOUR BY TOM PENNINGTON HE Cheltenham Gold Cup is predominantly the focus of attention at the festival in March and rightly so. But heading into this year’s jumps extravaganza the race on everyone’s lips was the Champion Hurdle. Could reigning champion and record Grade 1 winner Hurricane Fly capture the race for a third time, or would he be dethroned by one of four young bucks on the scene – Jezki, My Tent Or Yours, Our Conor or The New One? Our Conor, who had been so impressive when winning the Triumph Hurdle in 2013, led the field along at a blistering gallop before crashing out fatally at the third flight – severely hampering The New One in the process.

Veteran Captain Cee Bee, a son of Germany – a sire also responsible for the unbeaten Neptune Investment Management Novices’ Hurdle winner Faugheen – was left at the head of affairs but was a sitting duck for Hurricane Fly, Jezki and My Tent Or Yours, who were all poised to attack at the second-last hurdle. Rounding the final bend it looked a three-way shoot-out, but

T

Hurricane Fly could give no more, leaving the path clear for the JP McManus-owned pair Jezki and My Tent Or Yours to fight it out up the Cheltenham hill to the echoes of 65,000 roaring fans, with the former prevailing by a neck.

The New One flashed home to grab third and would make amends in the Aintree Hurdle, ensuring his sire King’s Theatre landed a second jumps sires’ title.

Lord scoops gold in head-bobber It was not a vintage renewal of the Gold Cup but that did not prevent a humdinger of a finish, with six horses in contention jumping the last.

King George VI Chase winner and Dom Alco’s leading performer Silviniaco Conti looked the likely winner, but after travelling enthusiastically throughout he folded up the lung-bursting hill, leaving the door open for gallant stayers Lord Windermere – who looked like being pulled up after a circuit – On His Own and The Giant Bolster.

Lord Windermere, under a power-packed drive from Davy Russell, edged out On His Own by a short head. The son of Oscar had to survive a lengthy stewards’

inquiry, having run diagonally to the line, but the form of the race was given a boost when Silviniaco Conti, who finished in fourth, landed the Betfred Bowl at Aintree.

More the merrier More Of That was undoubtedly one of the finds of the season, capping an unbeaten campaign that saw him start with a win in a handicap hurdle at Wetherby off a mark of 130 with a stunning victory over Shirocco’s leading jumper Annie Power in the World Hurdle.

The Jonjo O’Neill-trained six-year-old is likely to keep his late sire Beneficial’s name in the headlines for many seasons to come.

Sire steps into the breach The two-mile chase division was robbed of its superstar when French-bred Sprinter Sacre was found to have an irregular heartbeat following his non-completion in the Desert Orchid Chase at Kempton. Enter fellow French-bred Sire De Grugy, who slipped seamlessly into the gaping hole left by his compatriot in stunning style.

the yearling sales circuit will be

familiar with its traditional pitstops. The cross-continental trail – which begins in a balmy Kentucky and comes to a close in Newmarket’s colder climes – may play host to a procession of auctions in venues as diverse as the lots on offer, but season to season the timetable is one to almost set the watch by.

This year, however, there was an added sense of deja vu, as not only did the calendar stick to the 2013 script but so, too, did some of the lots on offer.

And as last year, European sales figures made for positive reading with gains in all key areas at every major auction.

But that does not mean the sales scene has lost its element of surprise, and new players both human and equine garnered their share of the headlines – starting at Deauville, where the buyer of Prudenzia’s latest offering hailed not from Europe but South Africa, K

as leading owner Markus Jooste’s Mayfair Speculators spent €2,620,000 on four lots, including a €700,000 daughter of Sea The Stars.

That figure was not enough to secure it the leading buyers’ title, however, as that honour fell to Mandore International – whose Nicolas de Watrigant has been principal buyer for Sheikh Joaan’s increasingly powerful Al Shaqab operation in recent years – while the top lot, a filly from the final crop of Monsun whose relatives include Schiaparelli, Samum and runaway Deutsches Derby winner Sea The Moon, was knocked down to Tony Nerses, racing adviser to Saleh Al Homaizi and Imad Al Sagar, for €1.2m.

Abrupt switch

The switch from Deauville to Doncaster is an abrupt one, from the chic French coast to Doncaster’s Town Moor. The DBS Premier Sale has traditionally been built on tough, precocious youngsters, but in buying a son of Starspangledbanner for the top price of £230,000, Qatar Racing manager David Redvers also secured a yearling with immense rarity value, being one of only 11 on the ground this year by the subfertile sire.

Buyers bound for BBAG go so armed in the knowledge that buying a yearling from one of Germany’s many exquisite families is perhaps more difficult here than anywhere else – as proved by the fact only one of six yearlings on offer from the final crop of Monsun changed hands. The lucky buyer was none other than Christoph Berglar, owner and breeder of one of the sire’s most famous sons in Novellist.

The Gestüt Schlenderhan offering, who cost Berglar €450,000 through Panorama Bloodstock, contributed to an aggregate of €8,171,500 – a rise of 13 per cent, the average figure by which the total at all the principal European sales increased.

At Tattersalls Ireland the rise in aggregate was some way shy of the average at eight per cent – for 72 fewer horses sold following the remodelling of the sale into two parts – but

There were no barriers to the amounts spent at yearling sales this year, with numbers up across the board

more importantly the mean and median leapt 28 per cent and 25 per cent, good news for vendors not operating at the top end of the market, which was spearheaded by a €115,000 son of Twirling Candy bought

by Peter and Ross Doyle.

Trade up a gear

As always, trade stepped up several gears at the Orby Sale, and in addition to Magnier’s top lot the popularity of Sea The Stars’ progeny with Goffs attendees showed no signs of waning, with two of the top five lots being by the sire, including a €1.1m half-sister to Lord Shanakill and subsequent Fillies’ Mile winner Together Forever. Teofilo was equally as popular, with a pair of fillies by the sire – sisters to Oaks runner-up Tarfasha and Irish Derby hero Trading Leather – selling for €950,000 apiece.

This year’s sale also welcomed the China Horse Club on to the buyers’ list at Goffs. The burgeoning racing and breeding operation, whose chairman Teo Ah Khing owns a share in Derby winner Australia, bought three yearlings for a combined €1,130,000 through agent Michael Wallace, headed by an €850,000 Sea The Stars colt.

Wallace followed the sale trail to Newmarket for Book 1 of the Tattersalls

October Yearling Sale – from where the club bought five yearlings either whole or in partnership last year – but even the might of China was not enough to take on Sheikh Mohammed, who, in a clear indication he plans to take his global Godolphin operation back to the top, spent 17,465,000gns through his bloodstock adviser John Ferguson over three days – including more than 8,000,000gns during the second session. The total figure far outweighed the sale’s second leading buyer Magnier, but it was the Coolmore team that took home the sale-topper, a Galileo half-brother to King George VI & Queen Elizabeth Stakes winner Harbinger bought for 2,600,000gns.

Five in a row for Galileo

It was the fifth year in a row perennial champion Galileo had sired the top lot, although not since Demi O’Byrne signed for subsequent Oaks winner Was in 2010 had it been the stallion’s masters who took home the yearling in question.

The following week at Book 2 it was Sheikh Mohammed’s brother Hamdan Al Maktoum who splashed the cash, topping the buyers’ list through his Shadwell operation that spent 5,055,000gns on 36 lots, including the record-breaking sale-topper, a 525,000gns son of first-crop sire Poet’s Voice.

Auction action returned to Park Paddocks a month later for the one-day December Yearling Sale at which Charlie Gordon-Watson bought the 325,000gns sale-topper, a Lope De Vega three-parts brother to Puissance De Lune.

However, the take-home message for the day was that, like the sale’s European predecessors, the aggregate, average and median all showed marked rises. The 79 per cent clearance rate was also a positive statistic. It is still not all plain-sailing for vendors across the continent, where the middle to lower market still lacks the strength seen at the top end, but overall 2014 has injected further confidence into the post-crash sales scene. t

Frankel foal, but the operation was quick to promote its offering as the first filly by the champion to come under the hammer.

It was rewarded with a fierce bidding war that eventually saw the filly knocked down for ¥96m to Toshio Terada.

As with the Frankel foal at Goffs, the filly was offered by Sheikh Fahad and he was quick to reinvest the profit, with Redvers signing for eight foals during the session.

The most pricey of these was a Deep Impact colt out of Group 2 winner Musical Way. The top price of the Select Foal Sale was ¥250m, paid for yet another son of Deep Impact, this one out of US Horse of the Year Azeri, bought by Riichi Kondo.

The foal and yearling sessions combined to produce a record-breaking aggregate of ¥12,575,000,000, with an average of ¥31.1m and strong clearance rate of 85 per cent.

Grant Pritchard-Gordon signed for a Giant’s Causeway filly out of Group 1 Cape Fillies Guineas heroine Captain’s Lover, who also scored in Group 3 company in France and on the dirt in the US. A filly by Trippi also brought R3.2m when purchased by Joey Ramsden, with that figure equalling the highest price paid for yearlings of their sex at auction in South Africa. The top-priced colt was a son of Western Winter bought by trainer Mike Bass.

Excellent results across the board were David Redvers: notable purchases at Japan sale for patron Sheikh Fahad

bolstered by a typically strong international buying bench that included Shadwell’s Angus Gold as well as Blandford Bloodstock and Peter and Ross Doyle in addition to PritchardGordon. The R103,075,000 aggregate was an increase of five per cent on last year.

BRIGHTWELLS ASCOT

With the Goffs Kempton breeze-up relocating in the calendar to become the Goffs London sale in June, it fell to Brightwells to host the opening act of the European breeze-up season in early April.

It took only £25,000 to top the 2013 edition of this sale, but that figure was more than doubled this year when Henry Candy went to £52,000 for a son of Equiano.

Offered by Willie Browne, the colt had been pinhooked for only 8,500gns, and later named Son Of Africa went on to score twice for connections. The star of the show, however, proved to be the second-highest lot, The Wow Signal. Sean Quinn, on behalf of his father John, signed for the colt at £50,000 and the son of Starspangledbanner went on to Group 1 success in the Prix Morny, having previously landed the Group 2 Coventry Stakes at Royal Ascot.

Of the 37 lots offered, 24 found new homes with the aggregate of £330,500 representing an increase of 124 per cent on the modest total in 2013.

TATTERSALLS CRAVEN

For the second consecutive year this auction witnessed a European record for the highest-priced breeze-up horse, and, indeed, the previous high mark was smashed twice in as many days.

Great White Eagle’s 2013 record of 760,000gns was passed on the first night of selling when Ross Doyle, acting on behalf of Al Shaqab Racing, went to 800,000gns for a son of High Chaparral. Later named Moheet, the colt was the impressive winner of his only start, a Salisbury maiden, by seven lengths in October. He had cost only 41,000gns on his previous trip through the ring at the 2013 Tattersalls December Yearling Sale.

Records tumble in vibrant market THE WOW SIGNAL THE STAR TWO-YEAR-OLD GRADUATE AS SUCCESS ON COURSE ECHOES THAT IN THE RING BY MARTIN STEVENS However, the record stood for only 24 hours until a colt by red-hot US sire War Front became the first European breeze-up horse to sell for seven figures when knocked down to Jamie McCalmont for 1,150,000gns.

Named General Marshall, the colt finished second or third on all five of his starts in 2014 racing for the partnership of Michael Tabor, Sue Magnier, Derrick Smith and Joseph Allen.

A daughter of Invincible Spirit claimed honours as the highest-priced filly – the most expensive of her sex at the auction since 2008 – falling to the bid of 450,000gns from David Redvers during the sale’s second session.

Even with a smaller catalogue than last year, such strong results helped boost the sale returns significantly on 2013. The aggregate rose by 14 per cent to 10,489,000gns for 93 lots sold, a six-year high, while the average soared by 26 per cent to 112,785gns and the median leapt 27 per cent to 70,000gns. The clearance rate managed a healthy 73 per cent, up from 66 per cent in 2013.

DBS

A week after the Craven Sale the DBS Breeze Up Sales also smashed its own record high price.

The new mark was set by a daughter of Exceed And Excel, snapped up by Moheet: the 800,000gns buy was an impressive winner of his only start at Salisbury

David Redvers on behalf of Sheikh Fahad Al Thani for £340,000, beating the previous record of £300,000 set in 2012, also by Redvers. From a strong German family, the filly, later named Likely, cost only €49,000 at the BBAG yearling sales in 2013 and won her sole start, a Carlisle maiden, by five lengths for David Barron. Redvers also accounted for the second most expensive lot, paying £260,000 for a Lope De Vega colt. As Flaming Spear, he also made a winning debut on his sole appearance in a York maiden.

Vibrant trade throughout the one-day sale led to a strong clearance rate of 86 per cent, also reflected in the soaring aggregate of £4,690,000 that marked a staggering increase of 66 per cent on 2013. The average also rose, climbing 24 per cent to £36,641, while the median climbed from £19,000 to £21,500.

TATTERSALLS GUINEAS

Barely three weeks after the record-breaking sale of the War Front colt at the Craven, the same sire was responsible for a record high at the Guineas Breeze Up Sale as well.

David Redvers made the winning bid of 270,000gns for the filly out of the Lemon Drop Kid mare Pastel Gal. She went on to win two of her six starts for Qatar Racing and trainer David Brown as War Alert.

A filly also brought the second highest price of the day, with Shadwell going to racingpost.com/bloodstock

215,000gns for a daughter of Invincible Spirit.

Both lots were offered by Jim McCartan’s Gaybrook Lodge Stud and represented notable pinhooks; the Invincible Spirit cost €39,000 as a yearling while the War Front was purchased privately having failed to find a buyer at $85,000 at Keeneland in September 2013.

Results were once again up across the board, with 100 lots selling for an aggregate of 3,271,800gns, up by 39 per cent, while the average rose 28 per cent to 32,718gns and the median gained 33 per cent at 22,000gns.

ARQANA

Records also tumbled at Arqana where a new high price was recorded for the second year in a row. A son of Invincible Spirit was purchased by Nicolas de Watrigant for €750,000, eclipsing the record of €520,000 set 12 months before.

The colt was the second record-breaker of the season for Brendan Holland’s Grove Stud following the sale-topper at DBS, and provided a staggering pinhook return having been bought for only €55,000

Frankel fever takes hold as Finsceal Beo filly stars THE CHAMPION’S FIRST OFFSPRING THROUGH THE RING DREW THE CROWDS AND THE TV CAMERAS WHILE IT WAS AN IRISH GUINEAS HEROINE WHO SET A RECORD AT TATTERSALLS BY MARTIN STEVENS

An early start . . .

Frankel foal fever arrived earlier in the year than expected with Qatar Bloodstock adding its mare Crystal Gaze and her colt foal by the world champion to the new Goffs London Sale at Kensington Palace on the eve of Royal Ascot. The dam of high-class sprinter Spirit Quartz – also back in foal to Frankel – was bought by Coolmore for £1.15 million.

The unique three-in-one package was not the top lot though. That honour fell to the Showcasing two-year-old Cappella Sansevero, bought by Qatar Racing for £1.3m and second in the Coventry Stakes at the royal meeting the following day.

GOFFS NOVEMBER

The dispersal of Paul Makin’s Paulyn bloodstock last year set a high point for the Goffs breeding-stock sale, which was always going to be nigh on impossible to match 12 months later.

But the Frankel factor played a big part in both the lead up to the sale and the event itself. With six of the world champion’s first foals in the catalogue, fireworks were expected and they duly arrived, at least in part.

In the end four Frankel foals were offered, with two finding buyers and two more failing to change hands. The undoubted star turn was the regally bred filly out of dual Guineas Tattersalls witnessed a record for a filly in training with the 4.5 million guineas sale of Just The Judge and (opposite) a Frankel filly foal out of Finsceal Beo made her own headlines with a €1.8m sale to Dermot Farrington

heroine Finsceal Beo, whose unbeaten two-year-old son Ol’ Man River is being touted as a serious Classic prospect after his success in the Group 2 Beresford Stakes at the Curragh for Ballydoyle in September.

It was Dermot Farrington who signed for the March-born filly, but the identity of the owner behind the €1.8 million bid was not disclosed at the time of sale.

The filly’s price tag was an Irish record for a foal sold at public auction, with the previous record of €850,000 eclipsed by the opening bid of €1.5m offered by Philipp Stauffenberg.

Following a disputed bid at the €550,000 mark, the Frankel filly offered by Airlie Stud was eventually knocked down for €460,000 to the British-based RBL syndicate. A colt and filly offered by Friarstown Stud both failed to make their reserve.

The aggregate of €27,492,700 was up a whopping 52 per cent, the average of €37,102 was a 41 per cent increase and the median rose by €5,000 to €22,000.

The mares’ portion of the sale could not live up to the excitement of the top foal session, with a top price of €480,000 needed to top the two-day breeding-stock sale. Oliver St Lawrence made the winning bid for Hazariya, already the dam of smart juvenile Harasiya and offered in foal to Fastnet Rock.

Unsurprisingly, after last year’s spectacular, results were markedly down with the aggregate falling 70 per cent to €7,757,400, while the average dropped by 65 per cent to €26,119. The median declined from €15,000 to €13,500.

Believe You Can, winner of the 2012 Kentucky Oaks and covered by Tapit, was led out unsold at $4.9 million at Fasig-Tipton, where the aggregate was off by 14 per cent

a record at the Tattersalls December Sales; this year it was the turn of a filly in training, Just The Judge, to set a record.

The Irish 1,000 Guineas heroine who won this year’s Grade 1 EP Taylor Stakes at Woodbine in October set a new high mark for a filly in training sold at auction in Britain when the hammer came down at 4,500,000gns. Having raced in the colours of Qatar Racing, the four-year-old daughter of Lawman was offered to dissolve a partnership with the Sangster family, but Sheikh Fahad Al Thani had found himself a new partner before making the winning bid, with the filly set to race on for a partnership between Qatar Racing and the China Horse Club.

During the second day of selling, traditionally the strongest session, two other lots breached the seven-figure barrier.

Ladys First, the only mare catalogued in foal to Galileo, was snapped up by Hugo Lascelles for 1,800,000gns. The five-year-old daughter of Dutch Art proved an extremely profitable pinhooking venture having sold for 650,000gns at Tattersalls exactly a year earlier.

The third seven-figure lot of the sale also owed much to the Galileo factor, with Long View, a daughter of the perennial champion selling for 1,100,000gns to Lascelles on

behalf of Claiborne Farm in Kentucky.

The half-sister to the top performers Golan and Tartan Bearer from an outstanding Ballymacoll Stud family is now set for a date with War Front.

Eden’s Causeway proved an expensive buy back when bidding stalled at 1,200,000gns for the mare in foal to Frankel, with a top price of 850,000gns paid for a mare carrying to the champion with that bid made by

This year it was the turn of a filly in training, Just The Judge, to set a record Charlie Gordon-Watson for Windsurfing (Smart Strike).

Returns were down at the mares sale, with 685 lots selling for 48,290,695gns, a 23 per cent fall from 62,985,000gns for 721 lots sold last year. The average also dropped by 19 per cent to 70,497gns from 87,358gns in 2013.

Expectations were sky-high for ‘Frankel Friday’ during the foal sale, but the fireworks failed to materialise. Of the three lots who were offered in front of a packed sales ring and television cameras, all failed to change

hands, although a filly out of Kirinda was later bought privately by Dermot Farrington for 150,000gns.

It was left to a Sea The Stars half-brother to the stakes winner Mixed Intention, offered

by Oghill House Stud, to top proceedings when purchased by Shadwell, which has enjoyed great results with the sire, for 450,000gns.

In contrast to the mares’ sale, the foal segment returned record results with a new aggregate high of 32,110,900gns for 779 foals sold. The average of 41,221gns was slightly down on last year while the median rose to 25,000gns from 23,000gns in 2013.

Fasig-Tipton November

Year after year the Fasig-Tipton November Sale is a spectacular curtain-raiser to the breeding-stock sales season, offering headline acts and numerous seven-figure lots crammed into one sensational session.

This year might have lacked the punch of 2012 when $10 million was required to top the sale, or even last year when a bid of $5.2m led the way, but the top price of $3.1m for 2013 Kentucky Oaks heroine Princess Of Sylmar is hardly to be sniffed at.

The winning bid was made by Shadai Farm’s Tetsuya Yoshida on behalf of his K racingpost.com/bloodstock

Naples Bay, a Giant’s Causeway mare carrying to War Front, sold to Coolmore for $3.6 million at Keeneland, where aggregate and average posted small increases

father Teruya, who needed to bid only once to capture the prize lot. The four-year-old daughter of Majestic Warrior won four Grade 1s last year and is now likely destined for the court of Deep Impact in 2015.

In total, 23 of the 152 lots offered sold for $1m or more, only one down on 12 months ago when 24 of 163 lots breached the seven-figure mark. The total aggregate this year for 108 horses sold was $63,678,000, down from $73,859,000. However, the average showed an increase on 2013 at $589,611 from 11 fewer lots offered, while the median of $200,000 was down on last year’s mark of $250,000.

The figures were not aided by the two mares who attracted the highest bids both being led out unsold. Believe You Can (Proud Citizen), who captured the Kentucky Oaks in 2012, failed to find a new home when bidding stalled at $4.9m in spite of her own record and a highly prized covering

by Tapit, while multiple Grade 1 winner Stephanie’s Kitten (Kitten’s Joy) was bought back by her owner Ramsey Farm at $3.95m.

The highest-priced foal of the session was a February colt by sire sensation Tapit, offered by Taylor Made Sales Agency and snapped up for $500,000 by Bridlewood & Three Chimneys.

Keeneland November

Keeneland’s breeding-stock sale may be at the opposite end of the spectrum from Fasig-Tipton’s November auction in terms of the size of the catalogue, but the 11-day marathon also posted very healthy returns.

Indeed the aggregate of $205,899,500 was the second-highest total since 2007, behind only the 2011 sale that included two high-profile dispersals. While the aggregate gained four per cent on last year’s figure (55 more horses sold), the average also showed a small increase of two per cent to $81,966

Mandy Pope’s Whisper Hill Farm has swooped for plenty of choice lots in recent years and, just as last year, it accounted for the top lot. That was the Irish-bred Galileo mare Aloof, a daughter of Group 1 winner Airwave who enjoyed her biggest day on the track for David Wachman when winning a Group 3 at Gowran Park in 2012. If that does not sound like the record of a Keeneland top lot, the War Front foal she is carrying will have proved a powerful lure for many buyers.

A War Front covering was also a feature of the second highest-priced lot, with Coolmore’s MV Magnier going to $3.6m for the Grade 3 winner Naples Bay (Giant’s Causeway).

In all, 18 lots were sold for seven-figure sums, with 11 different buyers signing the tickets to underline the strength and depth of the sale, which also enjoyed a strong international buying bench. t

Proven case for unproven talent Strong demand for stores as well as form horses ensured another buoyant year By Tom Pennington HERE appeared to be a shift in buying habits at this year’s round of jumps sales. While horses with form were still in demand and selling for serious sums, a number of owners and trainers switched their attentions to store sales and unproven horses hoping to find more value. Point-to-point trainers who had sold well at boutique auctions also descended on store sales looking to reinvest, thus increasing competition and leading to gains in all key areas.

Impressive point winner Young Mr Gorsky topped proceedings, selling to Jonjo O’Neill for £190,000. O’Neill’s purchase contributed to an average of £52,125, up five per cent on 2013, and the median rose 13 per cent to £31,500.

Brightwells introduced a sale to coincide with the Cheltenham Festival for the first time this year. Held on the eve of the Gold Cup in the winner’s enclosure, the auction was a roaring success, with 16 of the 22 offered lots finding buyers for turnover of £1,688,000 at an average of £105,500. The Shirocco four-year-old Minella Rocco – one of seven lots to breach the six-figure mark – was the star turn when he went the way of Kieran McManus for £260,000.

Brightwells regular Roger Brookhouse stumped up the sale-topping sum of £300,000 at the company’s premier April Sale for winning Irish pointer Alisier D’Irlande. The sale has already thrown up several winners, including £225,000 buy Moon Racer, who won by 12 lengths on his debut for David Pipe in a Cheltenham bumper. Despite a fall in turnover, the sale posted big advances in average and median.

There were increases across the board at the May Sale with turnover rising by five per cent to £2,401,000. Donald McCain was forced to £130,000 for top lot Cracked Rear View, who was the impressive five-length winner of a Sligo bumper.

Brookhouse was back in action at the November Sale, seeing off Anthony Bromley and Paul Nicholls at £130,000 for Maralin point winner Stilletto. A smaller catalogue size and 65 per cent clearance rate saw turnover dip by 38 per cent to £1,519,500. However, the median rose by 33 per cent to £40,000.

The inaugural sale on Cheltenham Festival Thursday proved a big hit

Goffs

Following a lacklustre renewal of the Goffs Punchestown Invitational Sale in 2013, trade improved markedly this year, with 17 of the 21 offered lots selling for €1,537,000, up 40 per cent. Eight six-figures lots, including the €160,000 sale-topper Birch Hill, were not enough to stop a small dip in average price.

Goffs’ flagship jumps auction, the Land Rover Sale, ended with stunning gains and a

top price of €200,000 paid by Mouse Morris for a son of Robin Des Champs from the family of useful chaser Woodlands Genpower.

There was a stunning clearance rate of 91 per cent and the aggregate of €11,557,000 was a near-50 per cent improvement on 2013.

Goffs chief executive Henry Beeby put the extraordinary trade down to a catalogue that many observers felt was “the best ever”.

Goffs’ inaugural sale held on Irish Champions Weekend yielded the highestpriced jumps buy of the year when Kieran McManus splashed out €470,000 for the Ghostzapper three-year-old Timiyan, twice a winner on the Flat.

DBs

The DBS auction season started with a bang as the January Mixed Sale posted turnover of £1,185,550, up a massive 130 per cent on 2013. High-class racemare Kentford Grey Lady topped proceedings, selling to owner-breeder Patrick Burling for £65,000.

The DBS Sale at Newbury in March fell a week after the Cheltenham Festival sale and

Tattersalls Ireland

A Presenting colt out of Grade 2-winning chaser Pomme Tiepy topped the February Sale when selling to Aiden Murphy for €65,000. Figures were up dramatically compared with 2013 – the aggregate rose by 40 per cent to €1,009,250 – and that was a sign of things to come at Fairyhouse.

A three-year-old son of four-time Ascot Gold Cup winner Yeats headed trade at Tattersalls Ireland’s premier production, the Derby Sale. The Mount Eaton Stud-consigned gelding fetched €220,000 from MV Magnier, who signed for the three dearest lots by Yeats. Turnover of €14,654,500, up 27 per cent on 2013,

was the highest since 2007 and a third of the horses who sold over the two days made €50,000 or more, a record for the sale. The six-figure mark was hit 28 times and the sale posted a clearance rate of 88 per cent.

A number of buyers who struggled to get a look-in at the Derby Sale turned their attentions to the August Sale, where the average rose by 32 per cent to €9,879 and the aggregate shot up 74 per cent to €4,752,000.

Ryan Mahon and Paul Nicholls snared the week’s top lot, going to €80,000 for a brother to impressive bumper winner Rogue Trader.

Tarla, a daughter of Lavirco who won three Grade 3s for Willie Mullins and Rich Ricci, stole the show at the company’s November Sale after selling for €170,000 to Kilmoney Cottage Stud. Strong trade for foals meant the top price contributed to turnover of €13,619,550, up 26 per cent on 2013. There were also increases in average and median. t

Female riders’ turn in spotlight Global series under banner of sheikh mansoor’s Arabian flat racing festival broadens horizons By Isabella Budge he HH Sheikha Fatima Bint Mubarak Ladies World Championship this year consisted of 13 qualifying stages worldwide and culminated in a 14th and final event at the Abu Dhabi Equestrian Club in November.

This year 96 amateur and professional lady jockeys took part in the series, whose namesake is chairwoman of the General Women’s Union, supreme chairwoman of the Family Development Foundation and president of the supreme council for Motherhood and Childhood, mother of the UAE. The series, held under the banner of the HH Sheikh Mansoor Bin Zayed Al Nahyan Global Arabian Flat Racing Festival, is open to lady jockeys worldwide and aims to promote women in horseracing. With races held in Oman, Australia, Switzerland, the US – Texas and California – Morocco, France, Germany, Sweden, the Netherlands, Britain, Belgium and Poland, as well as in Abu Dhabi, the series provides the opportunity for female jockeys to raise

their profile globally and broaden their riding horizons.

The final was won in spectacular fashion by Jadey Pietrasiewicz of the Netherlands on board Molahen El Alhan, trained by Ernst Oertel. Pietrasiewicz qualified for the final when winning the seventh leg at Hoppegarten in Berlin in May and has performed consistently throughout the series.

Much credit is due to Lara Sawaya, executive director of the HH Sheikh Mansoor Bin Zayed Al Nahyan Global Arabian Horse Flat Racing Festival, chairman of the Ladies Racing Committee in the International Federation of Arabian Horse Racing Authorities (IFAHR), chairman of Apprentice Jockeys & Racing and chairman of the International Federation of Horse Racing Academies, who works tirelessly to ensure women receive continuous encouragement and support as well as implementing innovative ideas that are developed at various Sheikh Mansoor-sponsored conferences around the globe.

This year Sheikha Fatima was awarded Personality of the Year for women’s leadership in the Arab World

by Forbes Middle East – recognising her developmental and cultural role in enhancing the status of women and supporting their presence within the community, both regionally and internationally. t Lara Sawaya leads Jadey Pietrasiewicz and Molahen El Alhan to the winner’s enclosure (left) and (inset above right) in winning action in the final; (main image, right) jockeys parade at Abu Dhabi Equestrian Club; (inset top left) racing in St Moritz

‘Aspire to be the best you can possibly be’ ALYSON DENIEL, a work-rider and member of Richard Fahey’s travelling team who competed in the final of this year’s HH Sheikha Fatima Bint Mubarak Ladies World Championship after winning the Australian leg, answers the questions Career highlights My first winner, Mu-Arrik, at Redcar, my first double in Malaysia at Ipho, winning the Heart of All England Maiden Hunter Chase at Hexham in consecutive years and winning the Queen Mother’s Cup at York on Step This Way for Mark Johnston were all special. And of course representing Britain to ride in the Sheikha Fatima Bint Mubarak Ladies series, and winning on Conderosa Millennium Silver in Australia.

Greatest inspirations My parents, the late Sharron Murgatroyd for

her grit and determination in the face of extreme adversity, and AP McCoy, an inspiration and a great ambassador for racing.

How did you first get involved in the HH Sheikh Mansoor Festival? Sarah Oliver of the Amateur Jockeys Association of Great Britain contacted me and asked if I would represent Britain in Australia. Naturally I said yes!

How has the HH Sheikh Mansoor Festival ladies’ series changed the opportunities for lady jockeys? I think with the continued support many more opportunities will arise for lady riders to showcase their talents.

What advice would you give to young ladies who would like to get involved in racing? To work hard, never give up, aspire to be the best you can possibly be, be on time, and always look smart and be professional.

Kodiac pipped at post A LATE flurry of Group 1 winners in Found (Prix Marcel Boussac), Gleneagles (National Stakes) and Together Forever (Fillies’ Mile) propelled Galileo to the top of the table of leading two-year-old sires by prize-money, but for much of the year it looked as though the accolade was going to fall to Kodiac.

The Tally-Ho Stud stallion has long been known as a source of precocious performers but this year he proved he could transmit class to his progeny too.

He supplied popular pocket rocket Tiggy Wiggy, winner of the Cheveley Park Stakes, Dewhurst second Kodi Bear ((left) and Listed scorers Patience Alexander and Terror.

As we went to press Kodiac supplied his 43rd individual two-year-old winner of the year, breaking the European record of 42 held by his half-brother Invincible Spirit (who excelled again) and Kheleyf. MS

IS there no stopping Galileo? The Coolmore colossus bagged a sixth European sires’ championship by prize-money, with his progeny having earned not far off double those by his closest pursuer, Invincible Spirit. Galileo’s tally of 35 stakes winners up to late November was 15 more than that of the next best of 20, belonging to Dubawi, writes Martin Stevens.

Invincible Spirit enjoyed an outstanding year and his best placing in this table with 13 stakes winners, headed by the brilliant multiple Group 1-winning milers Charm Spirit and Kingman.

Darley pair Shamardal and Dubawi boasted winners-to-runners strike-rates in excess of 50 per cent, plenty of stakes winners and large prize-money hauls.

Super sophomore pair Sea The Stars – who supplied winners at a clip of just under 55 per cent – and Mastercraftsman hold lofty positions despite having only two crops to represent them.

No denying Sadler’s A QUARTET of Group 1-winning fillies out of Sadler’s Wells mares – Baltic Baroness, Cursory Glance, Taghrooda and The Fugue – made the late sire phenomenon leading broodmare sire in Europe by prize-money.

Five European top-level winners of 2014 were out of daughters of another mainstay of this table, Danehill. Two were bred on the famed Galileo-Danehill cross that produced Frankel – Frankel’s brother Noble Mission and Tapestry – while another, Dick Whittington ((left), represented the next generation of the nick as he is by Galileo’s son Rip Van Winkle.

Anabaa’s position is thanks largely to his Arc-winning maternal granddaughter Treve, although Group scorers Ameenah, Hartnell and Spiritjim showed he is no one-hit wonder in this department.

Vega tops vintage crop A VINTAGE year for freshmen. Last year only one managed to supply more than one stakes winner; this time seven achieved the feat, writes Martin Stevens.

Lope De Vega, who tops the table by progeny earnings, was represented by four stakes winners headed by Dewhurst hero Belardo. Siyouni also had four stakes winners, three of them at Group 3 level including dual Group 1-placed Ervedya.

Showcasing had three stakes winners and an impressive winners-to-runners strike-rate of 47 per cent, while Paco Boy delivered a rash of seven stakes performers.

Subfertile Starspangledbanner had 11 winners from just 20 runners, including two Royal Ascot winners – Anthem Alexander and subsequent Prix Morny winner The Wow Signal. Rip Van Winkle also came up with a Group 1 winner in Phoenix Stakes scorer Dick Whittington.

Zebedee’s haul of 31 individual winners was best of the bunch.

Motivator’s Arc ace THE enormous prize-money on offer in the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe means the winner’s sire is perennially the champion in France by progeny earnings. So Treve’s repeat victory means back-to-back titles for Motivator, despite the Haras du Quesnay stallion having only 19 runners in the country up to late November.

Treve was not the only classy four-year-old filly by the sire, though, as Jeff Smith’s Cocktail Queen (below) beat the boys in the Prix Gontaut-Biron and Grand Prix de Deauville.

Le Havre – whose fee has been raised to €20,000 from €7,000 at Haras de la Cauvinière for 2015 – was arguably the biggest story in French breeding in 2014. The previous year’s leading domestic freshman sire confirmed his promise in his sophomore season by supplying six stakes winners, headed

Stars in stratosphere RESULTS from Sea The Stars’ first year with three-year-old progeny suggest Europe may have a future breed-shaping super stallion. The world champion son of Cape Cross delivered 52 winners from 95 runners to late November at an excellent strike-rate of nearly 55 per cent, including ten black-type scorers, three of them at the highest level, writes Martin Stevens.

Taghrooda became the first three-year-old filly to land the King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes since Pawneese in 1976, Sea The Moon blitzed the Deutsches Derby opposition and Vazira was awarded the Prix Saint-Alary.

Mastercraftsman also acquitted himself well in his sophomore season. He supplied two Classic winners – Kingston Hill in the St Leger and The Grey Gatsby in the Prix du Jockey Club. Kingston Hill also finished second in the Derby and The Grey Gatsby later took the scalp of Derby winner Australia in the Irish Champion Stakes.

Theatre curtain call A SLEW of Grade 1-winning progeny – Captain Chris, Carlingford Lough, Cue Card, Shaneshill and The New One – helped King’s Theatre to the upper echelons of the jumps sires’ championship for the 2013-14 season, but it was Balthazar King’s gallant second in the richly endowed Grand National that clinched the title for the late Ballylinch Stud resident.

For most of the season Coolmore sire Oscar, whose headline acts were Cheltenham Gold Cup hero Lord Windermere and dual Grade 1-winning novice hurdler The Tullow Tank (left), headed the table.

Oscar’s finishing positions over the last five seasons read 32222 and he surely deserves top spot one season, but he will have to go some for 2014-15 as King’s Theatre held an advantage of more than £500,000 at number one up to late November. MS

TAPIT broke the record for progeny earnings in a single season in November when his daughter Untapable, who had earlier won the Kentucky Oaks, Mother Goose Stakes and Cotillion Stakes, added the Breeders’ Cup Distaff to her haul, writes Martin Stevens.

Gainesway’s grey son of Pulpit was also on the mark in 2014 with Belmont Stakes and Jockey Club Gold Cup hero Tonalist and Florida Derby winner Constitution.

Giant’s Causeway, a multiple champion North American sire, enjoyed another good year and has two Grade 1-winning juveniles to look forward to for 2015 – Carpe Diem and Take Charge Brandi.

Ken and Sarah Ramsey’s strong support of their home stallion Kitten’s Joy – who topped this table last year – continued to pay off and they owned and bred his three Grade 1 winners this year – Bobby’s Kitten, Real Solution and Stephanie’s Kitten.

IRISH FOAL CROP*

The same could also be applied to Britain, which, although witnessing a lesser decline from a lower starting figure, is still producing only 74 per cent of the foals it was in 2008 – by September 30, 4,255 foals had been registered.

However, the argument remains Britain and Ireland will, or are, struggling to supply enough horses to fulfil the fixture list. It is an argument with many Dual 987

HE complete picture for this year’s British and Irish foal crop has yet to be revealed, with registrations trickling in until the new year and beyond, but the annual snapshot taken on September 30 has historically been a good indication of the final figure – and provides year-on-year comparisons to assess the state of the industry.

The 2014 Return of Mares, which includes the number of mares covered by active stallions (where covering certificates have been submitted), made for good reading in Ireland, where the September figure had risen six per cent from 2013, with 7,440 foals registered. With such buoyancy in the market as seen in recent years, confidence has returned to the breeding industry, resulting in the second such rise in two years.

However, there are two main points to consider. The first is that the 2014 foal figure is still down 38 per cent on the 2007 high of 12,022.

The second is that pre-recession numbers were indicative of gross over-production, and one of the reasons behind the current market strength is a more condensed pool of higher-quality offerings. That is not to say breeders should cater only for those with the biggest pockets – the industry needs far more low-grade handicappers than Classic contenders to keep it going – but it is hard to deny there were many mares in the paddocks who had neither the pedigree nor results to justify their role.

There is an argument Britain and Ireland will, or is, struggling to supply enough horses to fulfil the fixture list

strands and one that is unlikely to be resolved, but an interesting figure to note is that in 2012, when the 14,978-strong crop of 2009 were three, an average of 8,471 Flat horses were in training in Britain – a figure encompassing juveniles, the Classic crop and older horses – while just 650 three-year-olds were registered in training in Ireland.

Sons of Monsun again out in front in numbers game ONCE again sons of Monsun serving the jumps scene ruled the roost when it came to the most mares covered in 2014, led by young Grange Stud resident Getaway on 295, writes Katherine Fidler.

Getaway’s paternal half-brothers Shirocco, who covered 274 mares following a switch of focus from the Flat to the jumps at Glenview Stud, and Arcadio, the sire of useful hurdler The Game Changer (right) who

1 87

had 262 covers, were third and fourth most in-demand in 2014. Breaking the Monsun dominance was Galileo’s son Mahler in second, who was visited by 278 mares.

A switch to dual-purpose duty resulted in the number of mares covered by Coolmore sire Dylan Thomas rocketing from 28 to 150, while one sire with little room for increase but whose popularity will not decrease next year is Tally-Ho resident Kodiac, the busiest Flat stallion with 234 covers and sire of crack juvenile Tiggy Wiggy.

Racing FX Racing FX provides a fast, safe, cost effective and simple solution for converting currency and making international payments. We offer a dedicated and personalised service to the equine industry providing owners, trainers, stud farms and associated services with a secure, hassle free service – which is cheaper and quicker than banks or standard payment providers, whilst providing the same security as a bank.

SAFE Regulated by the FCA and authorised by HMRC with clients funds always held in secure segregated accounts within a leading UK bank every step of the way.

COST EFFECTIVE Banks generally charge 3% on currency transactions and often more as well as transfer fees, we significantly reduce these charges and do not add on any extra fees to the payment.

SIMPLE You let us know how much needs to be paid and we take care of the rest.

PERSONAL We are not a faceless bank call centre or an online broker; we offer a personal, one to one service and take responsibility for every step of a transaction.

Forever Aloe Vera Gel There are countless uses for Aloe Vera, and investigations by veterinary professionals have shown that Aloe Vera is effective in the treatment of a large range of skin problems, joint problems and internal disorders in equines. Many trainers and riders now give Aloe Vera to their horses as a dietary supplement, as it can enhance their stamina and performance, and reduce competitive stress and post-event fatigue.
