PLETCHER TALKS DERBY PROSPECTS FIVE TO ONE THE FIELD In an otherwise chaotic 2017 road to the May 6 GI Kentucky Derby, trainer Todd Pletcher has arguably provided the greatest stability, with five runners currently in the top 20 on the qualifying points leaderboard. His final step towards the Run for the Roses comes in this Saturday=s GI Arkansas Derby, where Sumaya U.S. Stables= Malagacy (Shackleford) squares off with 2016 champion 2-year-old colt Classic Empire (Pioneerof the Nile), among others. On Tuesday=s NTRA Teleconference, Pletcher offered his thoughts on his Kentucky Derby Prospects. AHe=s trained well,@ Pletcher said of Malagacy. AHe=s a very kind horse to train. He=s a pretty laid back colt who doesn=t necessarily tip his hand in the morning. He=s pretty push-button and he kind of does what you ask him to do. He does what his workmate does, and doesn=t really overachieve unless you ask him to--then he works very well.@ Cont. p6

I=ve been watching Classics and Classic preps for about 45 years now, and a rule of thumb I=ve used since the days before speed figures is that the over-and-under, as we now call it, is 1:50 for the major nine-furlong preps--especially in California, which most years is a couple of seconds faster than the Eastern tracks.

Irap won the Blue Grass in 1:50.39, which came back as a 93 Beyer, and Gormley (Malibu Moon) won the GI Santa Anita Derby, which looked slow in 1:51.16 and returned only a Beyer 88.

Sydney Easter... I=ve never yet been in Eastern Australia--an oversight which I hope to rectify at least by this time next year--but reading the accounts and looking at the results of the Inglis sales in Sydney the past couple of weeks, it reads like things were in Kentucky in the early 1980=s: vibrant, even explosive. The American sales these days consist of a lot of sitting around punctuated by the occasional burst of energy, but the Inglis Australian Easter Yearling Sale read more like a sustained burst of energy last week. Even with 10% fewer horses catalogued (404 from 450) and 13% fewer horses sold (303 from 347), the gross increased by 9% (A$9 million), from $A98.9 million to A$108 million. The average increased by a whopping 25%, from A$283,489 to A$355,493, and the median increased by 30%, from A$200,000 to the really impressive figure of A$260,000. With 303 horses sold, that means 151 of them sold for A$260,000 or more. In fact, 17 yearlings brought A$1 million or more (up from nine the year before), and 64 yearlings--better than one out of every five sold--brought final bids of A$500,000 or more.

"The jockey said he didn't like the track last year and I have a niggling doubt that wasn't the reason he didn't run to form, so I'd like to find out before the Guineas."

The gross was up 9%, the clearance rate from the catalogue was 75%; 17 yearlings sold for A$1-million or more, and 64 - or more than 1 in 5 which sold – brought final bids of A$500,000+.
