For decades he courageously battled liver and kidney troubles. In mid-June of 2019, Romero disclosed that he was receiving hospice care after doctors deemed him too weak to undergo further surgeries. Eddie Donnally, a retired jockey who is now an ordained minister, told TDN via email that he visited Romero last week, and that fellow Cajun jockeys Mark Guidry and Eddie Delahoussaye had also been at Romero=s home to be with him in his final days. He added that Romero=s older brother, Edward, became Randy=s caretaker after he began hospice care, and that Romero was surrounded by family members when he died.

But a son of Giant's Causeway, immediately, represents a far by Chris McGrath less challenging proposition. So far as the bottom half of his pedigree is concerned, the most striking thing is the replication of Storm Bird as grandsire of both his dam, Beyond the Waves, and his sire Giant's Causeway. They were respectively by one of Storm Bird's least distinguished sons, in Ocean Crest; and his most glamorous and accomplished son, Storm Cat. Ocean Crest was soon exiled to Turkey, but left behind as one of his best efforts the listed winner Beyond the Waves, who mustered graded/group podiums in France and the U.S. Those came on turf, as did the finest hour of Ocean Crest himself, in the GII Del Mar Derby. But bear in mind that he was out of a full-sister to Slewpy, who like their sire Seattle Slew, very much traded in dirt. Ocean Crest, moreover, is the damsire of Emcee (Unbridled's Song), Bricks and Mortar | Sarah K.

For his owners, it was a bet to nothing. He had already established his class and constitution on turf, and running down the field in the Classic wouldn't have taken a dime off his stud fee. As it was, he showcased his genetic assets to a different market and, as a son of a champion sire on both sides of the ocean, was soon able to command fees as high as $300,000. Since Bricks and Mortar appears to be ideally suited by an intermediate distance, neither the GI Breeders= Cup Mile nor the GI Breeders= Cup Turf would appeal as platforms to measure his domestic supremacy against European grasshoppers at the Breeders' Cup.

DUKE OF ROXBURGHE DIES AGED 64 AUSTRALIAN BLOODSTOCK Guy Innes-Ker, the 10th Duke of Roxburghe who passed away SCOUTING PROTECTIONISTS on Thursday aged 64 after a prolonged battle with cancer, was a popular and highly respected figure who ranked as one of the most successful British breeders of the modern era. Furthermore, he contributed plenty to the sport, most obviously via his chairmanship of and as a Director of Kelso Racecourse. A statement from his family read, "We are all deeply saddened that the Duke has lost his battle with an illness he fought with great courage and determination. He really was a Corinthian figure who was a great sportsman, a passionate fisherman who made a huge contribution to fisheries management on the river Tweed and a successful businessman who modernised and turned Roxburghe Estates into the successful business it is today.@ Cont. p3

Baden-Baden is celebrating its 'Grosse Woche' of racing, sales and music, and for many of the European agents and trainers it has also been a big week, with the yearling action jumping straight from Doncaster to Germany. But it's not just a European contingent gathered for BBAG's major yearling sale. In town primarily to see the first yearlings of their Melbourne Cup winner Protectionist (Ger) is the Australian Bloodstock team, headed by Jamie Lovett. An eight-time winner in Germany, France and Australia, the 9-year-old stallion has nine members of his first crop catalogued, including two from his home farm Gestut Rottgen, which has been champion owner and breeder in Germany in the previous two seasons. During that time Rottgen pulled off the feat of winning consecutive Deutsches Derbys with the half-brothers Windstoss (Ger) (Shirocco {Ger}) and Weltstar (Ger) (Soldier Hollow {GB}), and a member of that family, catalogued as lot 172 and already named Well Known (Ger), is one of two Protectionist fillies in the draft.

The average and median both suffered sizable drops, down 20% (,8,134) and 33.3% (,5,500), respectively, while the clearance rate of 64.4% reflected the difficult reality of moving along horses at his lower level.

He's a very impressive animal." by Olivia Coates Continuing on from last week's Victorian first-season sires, this week, we take a look at the Hunter Valley class of 2019. With an exceptional line-up, TDN AusNZ gathered feedback on the attributes of the first season sires, including what mares might best physically complement them. It is always a packed weekend in the Hunter Valley as studs busily prepare to welcome breeders and agents alike to cast their eyes over the newest stars to grace their roster for the 2019 season. Today we kick off our 'Let's Get Physical' NSW series with some of New South Wales's first season sires with Justify (USA), Kementari, Showtime, The Autumn Sun and Written By. Part 2 will run in the Sunday edition of TDN AusNZ.
