As a world-famous geologist, Charles Fipke reached the pinnacle of his profession--really, how many geologists have books written about them?--by seeing opportunity where others saw nothing. This path-less-traveled approach led him to, among other things, the Ekati diamond mine in the Northwest Territories in Canada. Fipke discovered the Fipke, right, at the BC with Bo Derek, Roger Attfield & jockey John Velazquez mine, one of the Horsephotos largest of its kind in the world, in 1991, and still owns a 10% interest in it. As an owner and breeder of Thoroughbreds, Fipke has often embraced the atypical, as well. When he retired his Grade I-winning homebred Perfect Soul (Ire) (Sadler's Wells) to the breeding shed at Darby Dan, Fipke aggressively went out and bought blue-blooded mares to support a horse that, truthfully, probably didn't have a lot of commercial appeal. The result of those purchases has been four Grade I winners: Tale of Ekati (Tale of the Cat), Internallyflawless (Giant's Causeway) and Jersey Town (Speightstown) were all bought in utero, while Perfect Shirl, a daughter of Perfect Soul, became her sire=s first Grade I winner when she upset this year's GI Breeders' Cup Filly & Mare Turf at Churchill Downs. Now, Fipke is again veering from the norm. This Saturday, he and Roger Attfield will send out Perfect Shirl in South America's biggest race, the G1 Gran Premio Carlos Pelligrini at San Isidro in Buenos Aires, Argentina. The 4-year-old filly is believed to be the first Breeders' Cup winner to make his or her next start in South America, and the only major North American-based runner to make the trip in recent memory. For Fipke, the reason to head south is simple. "She came out of the [Breeders' Fipke & Tale of Ekati Cup] great, and she's Horsephotos ready to run," he said. "It takes a while to bring horses up to racing speed, and sometimes you have to strike while the iron's hot. She's ready--why not race her?" cont. p3 TDN P HEADLINE NEWS • 12/14/11 • PAGE 3 of 10 • thoroughbreddailynews.com Charles Fipke cont. Fipke does admit that Argentina was the third choice of late-season international races. He and Attfield originally targeted last weekend's G1 Hong Kong Vase at Sha Tin, but, according to published reports, were unable to complete the necessary bloodwork and paperwork in time. Next they considered the prestigious--and valuable--G1 Arima Kinen at Nakayama in Japan, a race worth Horsephotos roughly $4.9 million. "But we found out you needed to have entered two weeks before the Breeders' Cup," said Fipke. "Which seems a little unusual; I'm not sure they really want outsiders racing there for $4.9 million. Anyway, we didn't get in there. But going to Japan or Hong Kong is a long, tough trip. Argentina, on the other hand, is only six or seven hours from Miami, and the horse is near Miami. So the traveling is going to be a lot easier on her. The purse isn't that much--I think it's between $400,000 and $450,000--which still isn't terrible. But it's the most prestigious race in South America." Fipke, who himself plans to travel to take a flight to Argentina Thursday evening from Toronto, will be making his second trip to Carlos Pellegrini. He attended the event as a spectator two years ago, and is excited to be returning with a runner. "And I've heard they're pretty excited, too," said Fipke. "It's not often you would get a Breeders' Cup winner running down there, plus one who's going to take on the boys." Though he's best known for his North American runners--which also include the homebred champion and Queen=s Plate winner Not Bourbon, by Perfect Soul=s full-brother Not Impossible (Ire)-- Fipke has been expanding his international participation for several years. He has raced in South Africa, and has four youngsters in training in Australia Fipke & Perfect Soul Horsephotos with trainer Bart Cummings. "I have a few that bought with Bart as yearlings at New Zealand sales--mostly Zabeel (NZ)'s," he said. "I bought one last year, and three the year before that." Fipke also has four horses in training with John Oxx in Ireland. "I haven't been that successful over there--it's really, really competitive--but hopefully it will work out," he said. www.coolmore.com TDN P HEADLINE NEWS • 12/14/11 • PAGE 4 of 10 • thoroughbreddailynews.com Cont. from p3 In North America, meanwhile, Fipke=s trainers include Attfield, Barclay Tagg, Dallas Stewart, Bob Baffert, Kelly Ackerman, Kenny McPeek and Tim McCanna. He also has broodmares in Canada and the U.S. Asked about how many horses he had in total, Fipke quipped, "I always say the more horses you have, the less intelligent you areBand I'm a moron." Fipke said he has reworked his breeding program over the last few years, and takes a hands-on approach when it comes to selecting matings. "You can't believe how much work is involved getting the right mating," he said. "I use a lot of science, and I have help, and we've developed our own methods.

    Alphabet Soup Fraise Amazombie Gulch Black Tie Affair Little Mike Cajun Beat Precisionist Eldaafer Prized 1996 Breeders’’ Cup Classic Winner AAllpphhaabbeett SSoouupp OFFICIAL 2016 OLD FRIENDS BREEDERS’ CUP PROGRAM Welcome In 1984, under a sunnier sky than anything the Beach Boys ever evoked, I was at Hollywood Park waiting for the gates to spring open revealing the greatest idea in the history of horse racing —the Breeders' Cup. For the uninitiated, the Breeders' Cup is like the World Series, NHL and NBA all in one day. And you might as well toss in the Super Bowl. Over the years, I've attended a dozen Breeders' Cups. I saw Precisionist win the 1985 Sprint at Aqueduct, and Fraise nip Sky Classic in the 1992 Turf at Gulfstream Park, and Black Tie Af fair’s dominating victory in the 1991 Classic at Churchill Downs. Now, they are all buried at Old Friends. And, while their exhilarating athleticism in front of a grandstand exploding with screaming fans still gets my heart pumping, it's their last days, with just a handful of us, that I remember the most. They all showed the same intelligence, grace and courage at the end as they did at the beginning. As we await the 33rd running of the Breeders' Cup at Santa Anita, I can walk around the farm and feed carrots to Classic winner Alphabet Soup (1996), Turf winner Little Mike (2012), Sprint winner Amazombie (2011), Marathoner Eldaafer (2010), and dozens of others who participated, including Silver Charm, Hidden Lake, Affirmed Success, Tinners Way, Touch Gold, and Game on Dude.

  • Old Friends Rapid Redux 2006 Ch G Pleasantly Perfect – Thiscatsforcaryl (Storm Cat)
    Old Friends Rapid Redux 2006 ch G Pleasantly Perfect – Thiscatsforcaryl (Storm Cat) Claimed for $6,250 in October 2010, Rapid Redux may not have seemed a likely maker of history. But by 2011 the gutsy chestnut gelding tied Citation’s record for 19 wins in one year. He surpassed the 19 consecutive wins in North American held jointly by Zenyatta and Pepper’s Pride and he still went on winning. By his retirement in early 2012, Rapid Redux had achieved a phenomenal 22 consecutive victories, a feat that will not be equaled any time soon. His remarkable achievement earned a special 2011 Eclipse Award and the Vox Populi Award, besting three other finalists—Uncle Mo, Goldikova and Havre de Grace. In 2012 Rapid Redux and his connections received a special award of merit from the Maryland Jockey Club. His contribution to the sport of racing in ordinary races at blue-collar tracks called attention to the achievements of the majority of horses, who never win a stakes but provide the daily thrills and livelihood of the sport. On May 31, 2012 Rapid Redux took an honored place among Old Friends retirees, where no less a patriarch than Gulch adopted him as a buddy. Old Friends thanks trainer David Wells and owner Robert Cole, Jr. for enabling Rapid Redux’s ongoing relationship with his fans. He continues to remind us of the durable valor of the best and toughest campaigners. If you would like a share in this horse, you may complete the form below. In return, you will receive an 8 ½ x 11 color photograph of Rapid Redux and a Share Certificate.
