RISEN STAR TOP THREE INCREASED TURF OPPORTUNITIES WILL RE-STRENGTHEN THE BREED HEADLINE LA DERBY Taking Stock, by Sid Fernando In 1991, only 5% of all flat races in the United States were on turf. By last year, that figure had risen to 17%. The incremental increase of turf racing over the past 27 years is vivid in the accompanying graph, which was extrapolated from racing data provided by researcher Chris Rossi (see chart on page 7). This trend to turf is even more significant than the data suggests because in 2017 there were almost 50% fewer races than in 1991. The net effect is that turf racing is playing a greater role in the sport as the industry shrinks. Throw in that 39% of graded races in America were contested on turf in 2017, and you get the picture.

Fernando cont. Flintshire's pedigree also has inbreeding to Nijinsky through the latter's son . It's a pedigree laden with Northern Dancer and with stamina, and Flintshire ran true to form as a 12-furlong turf performer. Sikura stands the 2004 turf champion Kitten's Joy at Hill 'n' Dale, and it's fair to say that he's hoping for similar results with Flintshire, whose ownership group includes Juddmonte, SF Bloodstock and China Horse Club. It's a partnership that believes the U.S. can once again breed top-class international turf horses, but with the added turf opportunity here--which Kitten's Joy has exploited and serves as a model to follow--the risks of standing a 12-furlong turf horse in the U.S. are not as foreboding as they were a decade or so ago when Ken Ramsey started off Kitten's Joy--foolhardily, some said at the time. AThere is an evolving trend in North America that recognizes the purse opportunities of turf sires, turf offspring,@ Sikura said. AAnd hopefully a recognition of worldwide currency that the turf horse is held in the highest regard. We've de-evolved from producing world-class turf horses the last 10 to 20 years and given that market share to other countries.@ Sikura said he's trying to fill the void with horses like Flintshire and Kitten's Joy, who after 12 seasons at Ramsey Farm is in his first year at Hill 'n' Dale in 2018 and getting an upgrade in mares. AHe'll breed 35 to 40 mares of the most important operations in the world,@ he said of Kitten's Joy's three-figure book. Still, he acknowledged that the Adirt horse is most preferable@ to some breeders and said that Flintshire, who was bred to 123 mares last year, would have had another 50 mares if he'd been a main-track horse. But he noted that Flintshire has all the attributes to become a successful stallion regardless of surface. AThe first criterion is always the quality of the horse and the quality of his pedigree,@ he said. The takeaway is this: the increased opportunities on turf in the U.S. are attracting quality and variety of pedigree, race form, and physical type, and this new infusion will only lead to the production of better racehorses and breeding stock down the line. History has shown this to be true.

I sided with Noble Indy, who I think will be closer than last time given the extra half-furlong and addition of blinkers by trainer Todd Pletcher. His race two back is about as fast as what any of these have run besides My Boy Jack, who has to replicate his Southwest on a track that has favored speed. Noble Indy for me on top. Selection: #2 Noble Indy (7-2). SHERACK: Last Week - Tough beat with Pony Up, who ran too good to lose (second, beaten a neck, at 6-1) in the Jeff Ruby Steaks at Turfway. Title Ready, meanwhile, gave me a decent run for my money, setting a fast pace and tiring to fourth at 14-1 in the Rebel. Still plenty of time left to find this year=s Sonneteer.

CONGRESS PASSES APPROPRIATIONS BILL WITH POTENTIAL H-2B VISA RELIEF Courtesy National Thoroughbred Racing Association Congress early Friday morning passed a Fiscal 2018 omnibus appropriations bill which includes language that could almost double the number of H-2B visas available, potentially improving a dire situation for Thoroughbred trainers, many of whom depend on these visas for the industry=s sizable foreign temporary workforce. The bill provides the Secretary of Homeland Security the authority to raise the cap on H-2B visas if the Secretary, in consultation with the Department of Labor, determines that there is an economic need. If the omnibus spending bill is signed into law by President Trump, the total number of H-2B workers that may enter the U.S. during fiscal 2018, which ends Sept. 30, 2018, will then be capped at 129,547. If fully implemented, this new cap would be equal to the number of new and returning H-2B workers admitted to the U.S. in fiscal 2007, which is the fiscal year when the highest number of H-2B foreign temporary workers participated in the H-2B program. ACongress provided the Secretary of Homeland Security with the same discretionary power to increase H-2B limits as part of the 2017 omnibus spending bill passed in May of last year,@ said NTRA President and CEO Alex Waldrop. AUnfortunately, the Secretary did not make the necessary finding of economic need until July of last summer when it was too late for most employers to take advantage of the increased number of H-2B visas before the end of the fiscal year.@ The NTRA, through its membership in the H-2B Workforce Coalition, will urge the Administration to swiftly implement this H-2B cap relief and will continue to encourage Congress to pass permanent H-2B cap relief.

Juddmonte Blue Hen Hasili Dead cont. from p1 Hasili was, remarkably, just a neck and a half-length away from producing seven Group 1 winners. Dansili was beaten a neck in the GI Breeders= Cup Mile while another daughter, Deluxe (Storm Cat)Bwho sadly died before making it to the breeding shedBwas a half-length second in the G1 Prix Saint-Alary. Following is a timeline of Hasili=s standout progeny.

Dansili Hasili=s first foal, born in 1996, was Dansili, a Group 2 winner who agonizingly hit the board six times in Grade/Group 1 company but redeemed himself in that sphere after going on to be champion sire. Trained by Andre Fabre, Dansili won Deauville=s G3 Prix Messidor during the summer of his 3-year-old campaign and was third thereafter in the G1 Prix Jacques le Marois and G1 Prix du Moulin de Longchamp. He won the G3 Prix Edmond Blanc and G2 Prix du Muguet both over a mile at Saint-Cloud to begin his 4-year-old season, after which he was second or third in his next five starts, four at Group 1 level. He finished second to Giant=s Causeway in the G1 Sussex S. and wrapped up his career with a third, beaten just a neck, behind War Chant in the GI Breeders= Cup Mile. AHe was a bit unlucky to not win a Group 1,@ Grimthorpe said.
