THIS SIDE UP: CANADIAN HOTY LIKELY TO BE DECIDED SATURDAY AT WOODBINE by Bill Finley IF YOU CAN RUN, While the U.S. Horse of the Year race was all but decided when Authentic (Into Mischief) won the GI Breeders= Cup Classic YOU WON'T HAVE TO HIDE Nov. 7, the race for the Canadian title remains wide open entering a Saturday card at Woodbine that will feature the four top contenders for the year-end honor. The sentimental favorite is the 8-year-old Pink Lloyd (Old Forester), but he will face one of the toughest tests in his career when he goes in the GII Kennedy Road S. A loss could open the door for 3-year-olds Belichick (Lemon Drop Kid) and (Dramedy), who, combined, swept the Canadian Triple Crown races for trainer . Starship Jubilee (Indy Wind), who beat males in the GI Woodbine Mile, may be the best horse who was based at Woodbine this year, but she is not eligible for the Sovereign Awards because she hasn=t met the minimum requirement of having three starts in Canada this year.

Those were the parting words of a highly esteemed breeder this week, after we exchanged a few thoughts on the diminishing viability of stallions once they have covered their first book of mares. Not that "diminishing," as an adjective, is really equal to the case. I suppose you could diminish down a lift shaft, but it wouldn't be the first word that would occur to you in the time available. Spoiler alert: I haven't figured it out. But I think I know where we might start. We all know that most stallions never earn a fee higher than their opening one; and that things are nowadays getting tough even for stallions entering their second year. Such is the nervousness of commercial breeders about taking a yearling to market once its sire has been exposed even to the (highly unimaginative) judgement of the sales ring; never mind about sticking around long enough to see whether the stock can actually run.

Many farms have duly sought to incentivize loyalty to new stallions. Breed your mare to such-and-such a horse for his first two years, for instance, and you can come back gratis ever after. Of course, there's a pretty bleak inference. By the time you get free access, many stallions may have reached a point where you would rather pay to go elsewhere anyway. The woman who contacted me this week suggested that farms might extend the logic behind such schemes precisely to those stallions who are now going "cold." Cutting their fees, she remarked, always feels like a kick in the teeth to those who supported them the previous year. Say you paid $30,000 for the foal in your mare's belly; and now, even before its delivery, the same sire is down to $20,000. That puts a red flag over your foal straightaway, and will hardly encourage you to double down with a return cover. Perhaps, then, farms could play nice with my breeder by going back to her and saying: "Look, we're sorry about devaluing your investment in our horse. You believed in him, after all--and we still do. So we'd like to invite you back. If you're prepared to persevere with him for 2021, at his new fee of $20,000, we'll backdate that rate to this pregnancy as well." The farm would only get $40,000 for two covers, instead of the $50,000 due at the prevailing rates. But that's still a whole lot better than $30,000 for one cover, plus zilch for the next year as the disgruntled breeder seeks sanctuary in some random freshman. In theory, remember, fee cuts are only made in the hope of encouraging custom--but how often do they achieve precisely the reverse effect? Even this kind of inventive concession might not be enough for breeders to whom any savings on fee may seem relatively marginal, relative to the depreciation invited by that red flag. But the farm, in that case, would still get to trouser its $30,000. If farm and breeder can meet in the middle, however, the "cooling" stallion might yet be able to stay in the game a little longer; long enough, perhaps, to earn a more realistic assessment than is typically made of a single crop of juveniles, often by a stallion who only earned his place at stud by thriving with maturity round a second turn. And that, in turn, might even reduce the frequency with which farms cut their losses and sell a stallion overseas or into a regional program--which is akin to sticking that red flag right under the tail of your poor yearling.

This Side Up cont. Regardless of whether this suggestion would be practicable, or effective, the key is that stallion farms and breeders work together to break the vicious cycle devaluing the commodities traded by both. Because while their mutual arrangements ultimately only determine "supply," both might enjoy greater security if the "demand" were better educated. Gradually I am beginning to grasp how farms and breeders alike feel pretty helpless about the overloading of new stallions. Certainly the farm accountants would like nothing better than business balanced through the roster. As it is, everyone is at the mercy of the purchasers. Because it's the guy sticking a hand up at ringside who really needs to put a premium on the horse bred to run, as opposed to the one produced merely to look the part on the rostrum. There are two big problems in current purchasing behavior. One is that so much of it is driven by pinhooks: yet another commercial cycle, in other words, dividing the planning of a mating from the aspiration to win races. The other is that the professionals guiding end-users--veterinarians, agents and so on--are directing traffic to the show ponies. In some cases, okay, they simply want to avoid appearing at fault for any structural defects that may emerge later. In others, however, they are taking out a less pardonable insurance. If they were trying to provide a real service for their patrons, they would buy or breed a horse by, for instance, the perennially under-rated Lookin At Lucky. But they don't want to say: "Just look, sir/madam, at the fantastic value I have secured. I can only do that for you because everyone else is too dumb, or too scared, to risk walking back through the herd." Instead they steer the action to stallion X, saying: "Don't blame ME if this goes wrong. Because you can see the whole community of experts just loves this guy." Cont. p5

This Side Up cont. The buyers may well retort that it's not easy to find stallions And the commercial consensus can barely be dignified as like Lookin At Lucky. Most "proven" sires are, deservedly, also "fashion," which might at least last a year. Increasingly, they are expensive ones. If there just aren't that many around who mere fads. One of the main reasons why the big farms throw reliably get you a runner at an accessible price, then the best such numbers at their new sires is because a single headliner you can do is take a punt on a new stallion--and hope that you will serve as a fig leaf to the modesty of literally hundreds of have stumbled across the next other foals.

To improve supply, we have to improve demand. We shouldn't be dragging the spenders, the guys who come to the professionals for guidance, into our fitful, fretful, flighty pursuit of the quick buck. Do the right thing by the fellows with the dough, after all, and we'll also end up doing the right thing by the breed. And, ultimately, we'll make the whole business more sustainable. In Britain, where prize money is notoriously inadequate relative to the cost of participation, they strive to fill the gap with heritage and pageant and the associated prestige. By the same token, if American horsemen want to sustain investment-- in training fees, especially, which keep piling up even as your gamble on a freshman sire rapidly "diminishes" through the Pink Lloyd | Michael Burns claiming grades--then they must work, above all, at the experience of ownership.

FREE PEDIGREE SEMINAR PRESENTED BY INDIANA THOROUGHBRED ALLIANCE DEC. 5 The Indiana Thoroughbred Alliance (ITA)--a newly founded group dedicated to helping educate, inspire and support those interested in the Indiana horse racing industry--will present "Pedigree Research and Purposeful Pedigrees," with guest speaker Robert Keck, bloodstock consultant at Kentucky's Crestwood Farm, on Saturday, Dec. 5. The event, open to anyone interested in breeding Thoroughbreds, is the first in a series of activities the ITA will host in the coming months, all aimed at helping to educate breeders and those looking to get into breeding. Susan Burger, a longtime broodmare manager and now owner of Indiana's Ledgerwood Farm, is the co-vice president of the ITA, and organizer of the seminar. "The ITA wanted to open up the avenue of continuing education for the breeders of Indiana," Burger said. "We want to help breeders, and those interested in getting into breeding, to learn what they need to look for when it comes to booking a stallion to their mare, or even purchasing a broodmare." The seminar will be held at the Painted Hills Clubhouse in Martinsville, Indiana, starting at 1 p.m. ET. Registration is free and refreshments will be provided.

IRISH STARS SUPPORT FOUNDATION IN INDUSTRY STATEMENT ON DIVERSITY HONOR OF PAT SMULLEN The British Horseracing Authority, The Horsemen’s Group and the Racecourse Association released a joint statement on Friday concerning diversity in racing. The statement comes on the heels of television presenter Rishi Persad receiving negative feedback for speaking out against racism in recent days, responses the groups say they condemn. The BHA invited Persad to join its scheduled meeting on Wednesday to share his views on racing’s approach to diversity. The joint statement read, “Racing prides itself on the welcome it gives to all. We want to engage fans from all communities and we want talented people, whatever their background, to be able to succeed in our sport. However, our industry’s leaders acknowledge that pockets of discrimination exist in all areas of society, and our sport is no different. All are agreed that this has no place in our industry and that the sport must unite in standing against discrimination of any kind in racing. We can, and will, do better on this front.
