While foreign buyers maintained a presence at the top end of the market, American buyers accounted for more than half of the sale's $1-million dollar purchases, and two-thirds of total sales.

Andrew Caulfield cont. Even allowing for a bit of proprietary hyperbole, Frankel's comments made sense, as Empire Maker is a son of Toussaud. This daughter of El Gran Senor raced exclusively on turf and showed herself capable of producing tremendous acceleration on that surface. With a back- ground like this, there was a good chance that Empire Maker would prove adept at siring good performers on all types of Empire Maker surface. It was therefore proba- www.juddmonte.com bly no coincidence that his off- spring=s first Grade I success came on Keeneland's Polytrack, when Country Star won Darley=s Alcibiades S. The Hollywood Starlet S., a Grade I on the Cushion Track, is reported to be Country Star's next target. Empire Maker has already had a winner on Cushion Track, as his well-connected daughter Unspo- ken Fur overcame traffic problems to win nicely at Oak Tree. Perhaps Northern Dancer is also one of the reasons why Tiznow is shaping up as a stallion with a bright future as a sire of all-weather runners. The only horse to have achieved consecutive victories in the Breeders' Cup Classic, Tiznow raced exclusively on dirt. However, this son of Cee's Tizzy is inbred 4x4 to Northern Dancer and he's out of a mare who gained the bulk of her earn- ings on turf. Under the circumstances, it perhaps isn't surprising that Tiznow has now moved past A.P.
