WEEKEND PEDIGREE PERSPECTIVES by Alan Porter SANTA ANITA DERBY-GI, $750,000, SAX, 4-9, 3yo, 1 1/8m, 1:49, ft. 1--s@BUZZARDS BAY, 122, c, 3, by Marco Bay 1st Dam: Lifes Lass, by Seneca Jones 2nd Dam: Letters of Life, by Arts and Letters 3rd Dam: Life, by Bold Hour O-Fog City Stable; B-J Shaw (FL); T-J Mullins; J-M Guidry; $450,000. Lifetime Record: 8-3-1-2, $559,440. *First GSW for sire. Click for brisnet.com pedigree. It doesn't always cost a fortune to create the winner of the most sought-after prize in American racing. Of 13 renewals of the GI Kentucky Derby since 1992, eight have been captured by stallions who were stand- ing at $10,000 or less when they sired the Derby win- ner. This situation is almost certainly a result of the “compression” of the breed: the fact that for some time the standard of the very best horses has remained static, while the average horse has continued to im- prove. As a result there is a much smaller difference between the potential of the $10,000 stallion and the $100,000 stallion than there was between horses of similar relative values 50 years ago (and a significant proportion of that accounted for by commercial factors). This year could well see another classic sire from the bargain basement, as the only Grade I Derby trials run this year--the Florida Derby, Wood Memorial and Santa Anita Derby--have fallen to High Fly (Atticus), Bellamy Road (Concerto) and Buzzards Bay (Marco Bay). The pedigrees of High Fly and Bellamy Road have been covered in detail in the TDN in the last week, so now it is the turn of Buzzards Bay. Despite being prepared for the Derby in California, Buzzards Bay is, like Bellamy Road, a Florida-bred. He actually began his career at Calder and was purchased by Fog City Stables after breaking his maiden at that track in October. He ended his two-year-old campaign with a fourth in a Hollywood allowance event, but led throughout to capture the Golden Gate Derby by a nose in his three-year-old debut. He wasn't able to adopt front-running tactics in his next two starts which re- sulted in a disappointing 10th in the GIII Risen Star S. and a staying-on third in the GIII El Camino Real Derby. But for the Santa Anita Derby, Buzzards Bay held sway at every call, battling on gamely to deny another longshot, General John B., and the GI Breeders' Cup Juvenile victor Wilko. Buzzards Bay's sire Marco Bay, who stands for $3,000 at Hidden Hill Farm in Ocala, Florida, does have a Derby win to his name, albeit in the Tampa Bay ver- sion. He also took the Sam F. Davis Breeders' Cup S. at Tampa the same year, and at four captured the Kelly Olympic Breeders' Cup S. on the turf at Atlantic City. Marco Bay has sired only one other stakes winner from his first six crops, that being the filly Bay Street Gal from his first crop.

Haskell H. and Grey Lag H. at 10 furlongs. Retired Manhattan businessman Jay Shaw, breeder of both Buzzards Bay and Marco Bay, reportedly pur- chased Lifes Lass specifically to breed to Marco Bay, as he felt that the bloodlines of Seneca Jones suited his horse. From our point of view, what is particularly interesting about the background of Seneca Jones is that his dam Tiffany Lass is a Bold Ruler/Ribot cross, and Marco Bay's granddam (and Jay Shaw's foundation mare) Mariwitch is a Ribot/Bold Ruler cross. For good measure, the Ribot/Bold Ruler cross is also repeated in Buzzards Bay's granddam Letters of Life. SERENA'S SONG, b, f, 1992, Rahy--Imagining, by Blushing Groom.
