DIVERSITY IN RACING: BLUE GRASS A POSSIBILITY FOR SWISS SKYDIVER THE BRITISH EXPERIENCE by Bill Finley Swiss Skydiver (Daredevil) has been nominated for both the GI Central Bank Ashland S. and GII Toyota Blue Grass S., both to be run July 11 at Keeneland, and trainer Ken McPeek said he will give strong consideration to both races for his 3-year-old filly. AI=ll probably run her in the Ashland, but there are a lot of things to consider,@ McPeek said. AFor one, I have another nice filly for the Ashland in Envoutante (Uncle Mo). With all these 3-year-old races being run around the same time, I=d imagine the field for the Blue Grass will be a little diluted. There=s also the weights. She carried 124 in her last start (win in the GII Santa Anita Oaks) and she=d only have to carry 118 if she were to go in the Blue Grass. Most of the colts in the race are going to have to jump up in weight. Who=s to say how much of a factor that would be.

But if that is very much the stereotype, then at least the authorities here have acknowledged as much; and there is a corporate determination to do something about it. Nor is this merely some perfunctory response to the incendiary confluence, around the world, of a looming economic recession and the protests triggered by the killing of George Floyd. Even in 2017, admittedly, action was probably long overdue. It was then that the British Horseracing Authority (BHA) established a Diversity in Racing Steering Group. The following summer, its members--comprising volunteers drawn from across the industry--published an action plan. The most immediate and concrete outcome was the appointment as Head of Diversity and Inclusion of Rose Grissell, who now hopes to harness the heightened political energies of the moment to extend the spectrum of engagement with the sport: whether in terms of participation, leadership or fanbase. Grissell was heartened, then, when the first female to chair the BHA recently identified diversity as the keynote to racing=s prosperity in a post-pandemic world.

Diversity in Racing: The British Experience cont. from p1 AWe=ll be judged by what we all do, not by what we say, and we must do more,@ Annamarie Phelps declared in the Racing Post last week. ARacing=s recovery is not about turning the clock back to Mar. 17. It=s about seizing the moment to move forward.@ Grissell notes that Phelps, a former Olympic oarswoman who served for five years as chair of British Rowing, brought a useful breadth of perspective. AHaving been in other sports as well, she has seen the difference it can make,@ Grissell says. ASo I was absolutely delighted to see her setting out how important all this is, for the sustainability of racing. Because the more that people understand the business case, the better.@

Rose Grissell | Racing Post For Grissell stresses that she is not just pushing a moral agenda; not just trying to educate people out of prejudice, vital as that is. She argues that if racing professionals want to stay in business, in the long term, they have no choice but to adapt; no choice but to reflect more scrupulously the make-up of society, with all its shades of ethnic, sexual and other differences. AThe Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) population of the U.K. is now around 14%, and in London it=s more like 40%,@ Grissell remarks. AAnd those numbers are growing. This is our future . These are our future customers. If we=re not actually engaging them, getting them interested and asking them to be involved, then how is racing going to survive as a sport? At the time I was recruited, much of the information wasn=t necessarily known, but it was acknowledged that we could definitely be doing a lot better in certain areas. And I do think there was also a recognition of the business case around all this, as well as being the right thing to do. Cont. p4 TDN HEADLINE NEWS • PAGE 4 OF 11 • THETDN.COM THURSDAY • JULY 2, 2020

AWe tried to whittle down the action plan to areas where we could make the most immediate difference. But we soon realized there was a lack of understanding across the industry. When you=re trying to change attitudes, change a whole culture, that=s not going to happen overnight. We need as many people on board as possible, so one of our key objectives has been to try and raise awareness of why diversity and inclusion are essential for the sustainability of our sport.@ The conundrum is how to convert the sweeping language of strategy into the detail of tactics. Resources are limited, and must somehow address challenges to some degree endemic in society beyond the sport. So do you target the grassroots, or the leaders and participants who can inspire by example? AI think you need a bit of both, really,@ Grissell argues. AIt=s the same across all sports, all businesses: nobody has the perfect answer. But obviously some sports have different challenges. So, for example, we=re in a good place as a sport where, uniquely, all genders can compete on equal terms; and some individuals with certain disabilities are not affected in their ability to ride. That=s something we can really celebrate. We also have a very good gender ratio in our attendances, at around 40-60 [female-to- male], which is much better than many other sports. Again, that=s really positive. But then you see the other side, when you look at our senior representation, at board level; or at our participation. There are definitely areas we can improve on.@ And it is a short step from where the sport performs best to some of its most manifest failings. The complexion of the labor force is commendably balanced. Grissell notes that the gender representation, in racing stables, is virtually 50-50; and it is familiar nowadays to see grooms and riders imported from all around the world, notably from the Asian subcontinent, Eastern Europe and South America. Yet while a three-time jockey did emerge from Brazil, in Silvestre de Sousa, neither indigenous nor immigrant workforces have been able to add much diversity among those who have managed to break through the ranks. AObviously not all jockeys and trainers come through that pathway, but some do,@ Grissell says. AAnd when we look at participation levels, ethnic minorities would be represented by a handful--if that. We have to address why that is. We have to ask why some people are able to get these opportunities, and other people can=t.@ Since generic, societal problems may take a generation to resolve, it makes sense for Grissell and her colleagues to focus on specific challenges. For example, they have sought to relieve the LGBT+ community from a perceived hostility--reflected in the number of jockeys to have Acome out@ while still riding. (That number beingY one!) Cont. p5

SH: We are very pleased with how the catalog has come together. It is made-up primarily of horses that were not offered at the sale in April, horses that are effectively new to our buying bench. A huge part of the appeal of the Australian market is that if buyers, domestically or internationally, want access to the progeny of I Am Invincible (Aus) or Snitzel (Aus), two of the best stallions in the world, they have to shop in Australasia. We are fortunate to have quality offerings by each in the sale, in particular through the Yulong draft. The I Am Invincible/Gypsy Diamond colt, lot 85, is a star, as is the Snitzel/Gypsy Tucker filly, lot 86. The Yulong draft is the highlight of the sale. Yulong is a hugely progressive breeding operation that has made massive investment in quality stock in recent years and this is reflected in the strength of their draft. In terms of other stallions, it is fantastic to have Frankel (GB) and American Pharoah well represented in the sale.

Interest in the sale from investors has been encouraging, but we have some restrictions in terms of those who can participate owing to racing authority and state government guidelines which is far from ideal. However, the stock is of good quality and the consistent success of Easter graduates over the years sets a strong precedent for the likelihood of top-class racehorses emerging from this session of the sale.

His modesty and dislike of the limelight are two factors which lead to Bastard's slightly dour expression on occasion but there are few more passionate horsemen out there and even he allowed himself a smile after the colt who had been picked up as a yearling by the consignor and three partners for $120,000 left the ring with a much higher 2-year-old price tag. "He just wanted a little bit longer than some of the others but he has always been a really nice horse with plenty of pace. He stood out at home," he said of the colt out of the Flatter mare Undo, a full-sister to GII Super Derby winner Apart. "The trade has been unbelievable today. Racing just seems so resilient."

He's come from a very good breeder in James Duffy," said Hassett, who bought the colt for 42,000gns at the Tattersalls December Sale. He added, "I felt like both sales were going to be strong. Although there wasn't the footfall you would usually expect, there were plenty of vettings and that's always a good sign. This initiative by Goffs and Arqana has clearly been very successful. We're really at their mercy. We brought the horses and they have got the buyers here."

Bell senior and junior will be hoping for a similar level of success from the half-brother to GIII winner Lord Simba (Discreet Cat), having bought him on behalf of owner Kulbir Sohe. "His gallop was the fastest in the sale which is obviously very important, and he's from a very good farm," said Nick Bell. "We came here to buy one really nice horse. It's exciting to have such a nice colt coming to the yard; he's a horse for next year as well and hopefully he will take us to plenty of good Saturday meetings."

Patience Pays Off For Kavanagh A sole juvenile by first-season sire The Gurkha (Ire) (lot 276) was catalogued for the sale but he produced a decent result for Roderick Kavanagh's one-horse Glending Stables draft when selling for ,260,000 to agent Stephen Hillen. The son of the stakes-placed Long Face (Whywhywhy) was bought from breeder Newsells Park Stud for 47,000gns as a foal then bought back for 72,000gns at Tattersalls October Book 2 when offered by the Kavanagh family's Kildaragh Stud.

Relief and Delight For Arqana As the day drew to a close, Goffs auctioneer Nick Nugent likened the events that led to significant relocation and restructuring of two sales to a long and difficult foaling which SALES TOPPERS eventually produced a really good foal.

"We have been very impressed with them. He has shown you can send any style of mare to him and still he produces you a type. He stamps them really well. You know they are by him and they are good nice athletic types. Not all that big, but not small either, just the way you want them." While there are a few similarities in the foals across the board, there is one characteristic in the Russian Revolutions which stands out for Murphy. "Most distinctively you can see coming through is his head. He puts that lovely quality head into all of them. You can bring anyone into the paddock and once you show them one of them, they can pick the rest of them, which is great to see," he said. "We have sent small mares and we have sent large mares and he seems to balance them all out. We=ve got a mare who had a small foal the year before and this year with him, she has had Russian Revolution | Newgate Farm one of the bigger ones, which is good to see."

They are both very good looking with a bit of white on their heads with darker colour. If they look like the sire, then you=d think everybody would want one. "On the strength of what nice foals they were, we sent both mares back to Russian Revolution the second season." Sledmere Stud and its clients also sent several of its mares back to the Newgate stallion, including Catchulata (Charge Forward), the three-quarter sister to multiple Group 1 winner Response (Charge Forward), whose first foal is catalogued as Lot 145 at the Inglis Weanling Sale, and Cappadocia (Northern Royston & Catriona Murphy | Bronwen Healy Meteor), whose Russian Revolution foal colt goes through the "In the Aussie market, it=s important they don=t look like they Magic Millions ring as Lot 1052 at the Gold Coast. are going to take forever but in the same breath, they are not "Going on what we have already, there will be a lot of mares short legged, tubby, need to get up and go horses.

"Come the yearling sales, they are the sort of horses that are on everyone's lips," Willis said. "They are such nice quality horses and have good heads on them. They are well balanced too." Murphy is even more enthused by the potential market reaction as Russian Revolution's first crop develop. "I=d be very surprised if he doesn't finish the sale as the leading first-season sire. When people get to see what I have seen here, I think they=ll be very impressed," he said.
