He prefers to buy into horses that {Aus}) won Newbury’s G3 Greenham S. on Saturday. Click or have already raced and shown talent and prefers to focus on tap here to go straight to TDN Europe. quality fillies and mares, particularly ones that run on the grass. It's a program that is working as Kumin has gone from an unknown in the sport to one of the game's most visible and successful owners, doing so in a very short time. The only problem is that's no way to win a GI Kentucky Derby and what major owner doesn't want to be part of a Kentucky Derby winner? So Kumin, who has approached horse ownership with a pragmatic business plan where the primary goal is to make money, has decided to change things up a bit and buy into the Derby dream. He's been involved with a handful of good 3-year-old colts in the past, but never anything like this. Kumin is set to be the co-owner of three Derby starters, >TDN Rising Star= Justify (Scat Daddy), Audible (Into Mischief) and My Boy Jack (Creative Cause). He is also the co-owner of GII Remsen S. winner Catholic Boy (More Than Ready), who is no longer on the Derby trail. "We're trying to do smart things and take care of our money, which we've worked so hard to make," Kumin said. "But we are also doing this for fun."

He is not, and says he never will be, a major player at the yearling or 2-year-old sales, so the only way he is going to have his name etched into Derby history is to buy into a top, established horse. That's what he did in March when he, along with partners, bought a 15% share in both Audible and Justify. Kumin's Monomoy Stables owns 50% of My Boy Jack a horse his team bought for just $20,000 at Keeneland September 2016. "My view is, instead of buying a bunch of yearlings and 2-year-olds and hoping you wind up with the one that turns out to be really good, why not wait until a little bit later when you have more data and more information and take a shot," he said. That theory worked out perfectly in 2016 when a Kumin-led group bought into Exaggerator (Curlin), who would go on to finish second in the Derby and win the GI Preakness S. He didn't fare nearly as well last year when he bought into "a bunch of horses" and more or less came away empty. "Whether they win the Derby or not, it's fair to say we have already hit with Justify and Audible," he said. "Since we bought in, they are three for three in terms of wins, with a Grade I win each. The Derby is a big day and I love to have a horse in the race. We had two two years ago (Exaggerator and My Man Sam (Trappe Shot)), none last year, and this year three. This year, we've been super lucky." Kumin said he normally prefers to buy more than 15% of a horse, but that's all that was offered to him in the case of both Justify and Audible. He declined to go into specifics when asked whether or not the 15% entitled him to share in the stallion rights of the two horses. Of his three potential Derby starters, My Boy Jack is clearly the third best on paper. But Kumin admits he will be pulling hardest for that one as he has more ties to the winner of the GIII Stonestreet Lexington S. than the other two. It's not that Kumin won't spend money at a yearling sale. It's just that he is only looking for bargains. "I have done a lot of work on the data and I think that (buying at the sales) is a pretty tough game," he said. "I try to know what I know and know what I don't know and I feel that if I went to a sale and spent multiple hundreds of thousands of dollars on multiple horse I am going to lose financially in the long run. I might hit on one every now and then, but in general it is difficult to have that be financially viable over time. Some people are really good at it and I have no edge over them." That's why Kumin has relied on Keith Desormeaux, the trainer of My Boy Jack, to buy a few yearlings for him. Desormeaux has an excellent record of purchasing horses for minimal amounts that go on to great success. TDN HEADLINE NEWS • PAGE 4 OF 9 • THETDN.COM SUNDAY • APRIL 22, 2018 "Keith had a great track record, so I let him buy me horses and if he continues training as he is now, he=ll run the best race of I split those with one other group," Kumin said.

  • Paying a Premium for the Winner's Circle
    Paying a Premium for the Winner’s Circle How celebrity chef Bobby Flay was able to savor victory at the Belmont Stakes Part-owner Bobby Flay, right, leads Creator into the Winner's Circle. PHOTO: KATHY WILLENS/ASSOCIATED PRESS By PIA CATTON June 12, 2016 8:00 p.m. ET Just days before Creator won Saturday's Belmont Stakes, his owners sold a minority stake to celebrity chef Bobby Flay. A few months before the May 21 Preakness Stakes, hedge fund manager Sol Kumin acquired a stake in Exaggerator, who won the second jewel of the Triple Crown. Behind the two deals is Bradley Weisbord, a 30-year-old adviser who helps owners buy and manage horses. About 80% of his work is putting together private acquisitions of horses with proven track records. It’s a different approach than that of buyers who hunt for value by bidding on young, untested horses at public auction. There, the prices can be much lower—but the winner’s circle is a distant dream, at best. Weisbord’s game gives buyers with millions to burn a more direct route to victory, but the challenge is finding sellers willing to share the race-day glory and stud-deal prospects when they know they have a potential champ. “Most people don’t want to sell at that stage or the price is too high,” said Weisbord, who declined to disclose terms of either deal. Weisbord opened his own bloodstock agency in 2014, and is at work building up the American racing operation of Qatar’s Sheik Joaan Al Thani.

Last year, the pair battled down the Saratoga stretch in a thrilling renewal of the GI CCA Oaks with Abel Tasman besting Elate by a head and surviving an objection by Elate’s jockey Jose Ortiz. The Personal Ensign turned into a replay of the two talented fillies’ last meeting, objection and all, with the China Horse Club and Clearsky Farm’s Abel Tasman coming out on top yet again. The filly and mare feature was billed as a match race between the best in the west and the best in the east and Abel Tasman, favored at 3-5, and Elate, 9-5 second-choice, put on the show everyone expected.

  • Fielding Proves Both Lucky and Good Cont
    FRIDAY, AUGUST 24, 2018 FIELDING PROVES BOTH TAKING STOCK: KUMIN’S PARTNERSHIPS ARE IN PLAIN SIGHT LUCKY AND GOOD by Sid Fernando If it wasn’t obvious before, it should be now. Since appearing on the scene four-plus years ago, Sol Kumin’s various racing partnerships--notably Head of Plains Partners, Madaket Stables, Monomoy Stables, and Sheep Pond Partners--have become ubiquitous on weekends and astonishingly successful at the highest levels. All told, the Kumin entities have won 38 Grade I races to date. This year has been particularly fruitful, with 10 individual winners of 16 Grade I races, including the Triple Crown, Kentucky Oaks, and Coaching Club American Oaks, with plenty of racing still to come.
