FROM THE DESK OF... Bill Oppenheim

THIN ICE Nobody knows more about the breeding and sales side of the business than the auction companies, sales consignors, and bloodstock agents (true), so when Tattersalls Chairman Edmond Mahony noted the sceptre of overproduction hanging over the European yearling markets last month--comments echoed by Goffs/DBS CEO Henry Beeby after last week=s Goffs November Mixed sale--it=s worth paying attention to. Though the inevitably upbeat post-sale propaganda refers to the >second-highest= this and >near-record= that, the cracks in the ice were evident at Goffs last week, and again at Tattersalls= opening yearling session of their 10-session December sale (which actually does take place mostly in December this year) Monday. Just look at the numbers. As the accompanying Weekly Sales Ticker table shows, the number sold for the entire eight days at Goffs was down by 5 percent from 1,154 last year to 1,099 this year. The gross was off by i3.3 million (9 percent), and the average was down 4 percent. But what is really telling is that last year the 1,154 listed sales constituted 78 percent of the 1,475 horses sent through the ring. This year, there (859) 233-4252 were 1,765 horses offered--20 percent more than in www.claibornefarm.com 2006--yet the 1,099 listed sales represented just 62 percent of those sent through the ring. The clearance As we saw last week, that was even the case at rate declined by 20 percent, and even with 20 percent Keeneland--though the far broader marketplace in North more horses offered, the gross was down almost 10 America (which produces twice as many foals as Brit- percent.

Giant=s Causeway was bred to 192 mares at $300,000 in 2006 and 176 this year at $225,000. He is the number five sire in North America this year, hav- ing been number three last year. Yet, in spite of his success, the combination of overexposure, coupled with the >knock= that he doesn=t have enough Group/Grade 1 winners (I dismiss that argument, but perhaps the market does not), saw 93 yearlings by “In spite of cataloguing 21% more horses than last year, Goffs Giant=s Causeway average $293,696 this year, with a eight-day November Sale had 5% fewer sold, and the gross median of $200,000 (per Instatistics), off a $200,000 dropped 9%, reflecting only 62% listed sales, versus 78% last stud fee in 2005.

I hope to be able to point out a lot of bargains in the stud fee sector over the next few weeks, but I can guarantee you I won=t be finding any bigger bargains than Giant=s Causeway at $125,000 for 2008. Market conditions, it seems to me, are suppressing the 2008 fees on a number of promising freshman sires besides leaders Acclamation and Posse, as mentioned above. Numbers 2-5 on the North American Freshman Sire list are all horses that look to me a fair gamble, all at $20,000-$25,500: Proud Citizen, Van Nistlerooy, GOFFS NOVEMBER MIXED SALE (IN EUROS) Harlan s (all at $25,000) and Macho Uno = YEAR SOLD GROSS AVG ($20,000).

He=s the number one third-crop sire (oldest now four-year-olds), and ranks 16th on the General Sire List. He=s also had 22 two-year-old winners this year, and his seven two-year-old winners in the last month include five maiden winners going longer than one mile. He was only a Grade II winner himself, but like Pulpit (and Dis- torted Humor, Elusive Quality, Mr. Greeley and Posse) he=s proving that not winning a Grade I is not a barrier to sire success. That=s one of the reasons why I reject Data compiled by Brianne Stanley the notion that Giant=s Causeway=s not a good enough sire because he doesn=t have enough Grade/Group 1 winners. The idea that all future good sires must win a Grade/Group 1--that=s a myth.

On Jan. 5, 1988, Bayakoa caught a sloppy surface for the second time in her career, this time in a Santa Anita allowance race. Just like in Gran Premio Palermo, she relished the off going, and won by an identical 12-length margin.
