In just three starts as a juvenile last year, Forevermore stamped herself amongst the best of her generation, and she appears to have retained her class in winning the first outing of her sophomore season. A first out winner of a Niigata maiden special weight in August, Forevermore went two straight in an Oct. 5 Tokyo allowance. She lost her unbeaten mark, but was not disgraced, when third, beaten a quarter length, in her season finale in the G1 Hanshin Juvenile Fillies S. Racing keenly on the outside in second through the early stages here, Forevermore nonetheless had something left in the tank in the lane. She cruised to the lead in midstretch and, despite racing Forevermore a bit greenly in the closing Horsephotos stages, held off her fast-finishing silkmate Magic Time to earn her first black-type score.

This puts him just ahead of Ballylinch=s Dream Ahead (Diktat {GB}), another five-time Group 1 winner, but sprinting. He=s had 32 foals average $77,469. Historically, one good pointer to future sire success is to identify sires which have 15 or more weanlings sell for an average of $60,000 or more by this stage of proceedings and whose median is around five times their original stud fee. This is especially indicative if they have a high ratio of median to average, which broadly indicates a certain uniformity in conformation. Three North American F2013 sires have hit that target or come very close, although it must be added that the overall ratio of median to stud fee was much higher than normal for F2013 sires.

Bill Oppenheim cont. The third is Lane=s End=s 2011 GI Champagne S. and 2012 GI Belmont S. winner Union Rags, who is by Dixie Union out of a Gone West mare, but his second dam is Terpsichorist, by Nijinsky, and I thought, when I saw him anyway, that Union Rags looks much more like a Nijinsky than a Dixie Union or a Gone West. In any event, 10 mares in foal to him averaged a healthy $202,500. Two more European stallions with form against Frankel came next: Newsells Park=s Nathaniel (Ire), like Frankel by Galileo, won the 12-furlong G1 King George VI and Queen Elizabeth S. as a 3-year-old in 2011 and the 10-furlong G1 Eclipse S. at four. He was twice beaten by Frankel in a one-mile maiden race which was the first start for both at two and he finished third to him in the final start for both, the 10-furlong G1 British Champion S. at four. There have been 15 mares sold in foal to Nathaniel for an average of $188,657. Coolmore=s Excelebration (Ire) (Exceed and Excel {Aus}) was by contrast a miler, which meant he ran more often against Frankel. Excelebration was beaten five times by Frankel (four seconds, one third), but when he got clear of him he was a triple Group 1 winner, including an impressive win in the 2012 G1 Queen Elizabeth S. at Ascot in which Excelebration looked like Frankel against the rest of the opposition that day. There have been 14 mares sold in foal to Excelebration for an average of $144,574. Another Lane=s End stallion who averaged over $100,000 for his first in-foal mares and this is the dual California seven-furlong Grade I winner The Factor, from War Front=s first crop and out of a Miswaki mare (which worked for Galileo and Dalakhani). A total of 20 mares in foal to The Factor, of 21 offered, sold for an average of $110,300. This seems a The Factor very strong showing for a Lane’s End Farm $15,000 sire. I thought Trappe Shot was the F2013 sire whose commercial performance rather thrust him from the background to the foreground and I thought the same about The Factor among F2014 sires. In other words, the market >likes= them. In the course of looking at all this I made an interesting discovery: both Trappe Shot and The Factor had run in the 2011 GI Breeders= Cup Dirt Mile at Churchill Downs. Trappe Shot had actually run second to Lookin At Lucky at nine furlongs in the 2010 GI Haskell Invitational S., but his only graded win came in the GII True North S. at Belmont going six furlongs as a 4-year-old. He finished fourth in the 2011 Dirt Mile, in what was his final career start. The Factor set the pace and tired to finish eighth of nine, but he rebounded in his next start to go wire-to-wire and win the GI Malibu S. at Santa Anita.

Bill Oppenheim cont. So I took a closer look at the 2011 Dirt Mile, in which I remember Shackleford (Forestry) taking over and leading by 2 1/2 lengths early in the stretch before he was mowed down by Caleb=s Posse (Posse). Caleb=s Posse drew off to win by four lengths with Shackleford safely holding second. But here=s what I thought was amazing, and what makes the 2011 GI Breeders= Cup Dirt Mile a >key race= not, as usual, for the handicappers trying to cash a bet, but in this case for breeders. Seven of the nine runners in that race are now at stud at major Kentucky farms and either had their first foals in 2013 or are due to in 2014. Not all of them ran their race that day, but they sure did all end up in the same race. (Click here to view the chart from this race) In finishing order, they were: Caleb=s Posse, who stands at Three Chimneys ($10,000 in 2013, $5,000 in 2014) and won the seven-furlong GI King=s Bishop S. and the Dirt Mile at three. He also finished third behind Wilburn and Shackleford in the GII Indiana Derby around two turns in the final race before the Dirt Mile for all three. He finished in front of Shackleford in the GI Carter at four, beaten a nose by Jackson Bend, then was beaten a nose by Shackleford in the GI Met Mile. First foals in 2014. Shackleford stands at Darby Dan ($20,000) and ran 20 times between ages two amd four, winning three Grade I=s, including the GI Preakness (over Animal Kingdom) at three and the GI Met Mile at four. First foals this year. Bill Oppenheim will be on holiday for the next three Trappe Shot finished fourth in the Dirt Mile (3rd was weeks.
