FREEDMAN TO JOIN HK TRAINING RANKS ANALYSING FIRST CROP by Alan Carasso FOAL SALE PERFORMANCE Trainer Michael Freedman, highly successful during an eight- year stay in Singapore and more recently with a group of unproven horses in Sydney, has been granted a trainer=s licence by the Hong Kong Jockey Club for the 2017/2018 season and will take up residence at Sha Tin following the conclusion of the current racing calendar in Hong Kong. Freedman, 48, made a total of 470 trips to the winner=s circle at Kranji, tying for the trainers= premiership in 2012 with 76 winners and finished in the top five in seven of those eight seasons with a 15% strike rate. Among his 36 group-race winners were two-time Horse of the Year, champion 3-year-old and champion sprinter Super Easy (NZ) (Darci Brahma {NZ}), who bagged nine big-race victories in Singapore and was third to Hong Kong-based Lucky Nine (Ire) (Dubawi {Ire}) in the G1 KrisFlyer International Sprint in 2013. Cont. p7 Mukhadram performed well at the 2016 foal sales | Shadwell IN TDN AMERICA TODAY STRONACH TO RECEIVE E. P. TAYLOR AWARD OF MERIT Op/Ed by Kevin Blake Frank Stronach, owner of Adena Springs Farm in Kentucky and Many would argue that there is no greater challenge in the world of bloodstock trading than buying foals to resell them as racetracks across the United States, will be honored with the yearlings. Not only do such buyers have to assess the likely E. P. Taylor Award of Merit by The Jockey Club of Canada. physical progress of what are very young and immature animals, Click or tap here to go straight to TDN America. they also have to speculate as to what the market will want by the time the yearling sales come around less than a year later. Yet, the challenge that the pursuit presents doesn't deter an army of pinhookers descending on the foal sales every November and December with the dream of striking gold at the yearling sales with one or more of their purchases. One segment of the foal market that is always a hot topic of discussion at the sales is that of the first foals by new stallions. While it might seem illogical to concentrate on unproven stallions given the statistically low success rate of new sires, trying to identify the next boom stallion is a highly popular pursuit in the bloodstock world. Furthermore, those pinhookers that purchase foals from the first crop of new stallions often consider themselves to be safer than most, as nothing can happen on the racecourse in between the time of their purchase to the time of their sale to devalue that sire's stock. How the pinhookers and other buyers have assessed the first foals of new sires is best judged on the foal sale results, and the information drawn from this data can be very useful for both breeders and traders moving forward. cont. p2 TDN EUROPE/INTERNATIONAL • PAGE 2 OF 11 • THETDN.COM SATURDAY • 18 FEBRUARY, 2017

Using this method serves to level the playing field on sales is a tricky game, primarily due to which traditional average/median prices are skewed in favour of sample-size issues. This is particularly stallions that stood at lower nomination fees. true in the case of the more expensive Calculating a fair figure for fixed costs incurred from the birth stallions, as a general rule is that the of the foal up until sale time is a tricky business. While foal higher the nomination fee, the fewer registration/levy and sale entries are the same for all, the keep foals by that sire that will be offered at costs involved for a hobby or small breeder will be lower the foal sales. However, such analysis can compared to those of a breeder whose mare and her progeny be particularly informative in the case of sires who stand at the reside full-time at an expensive boarding stud. Thus, finding a lower end of the nomination scale and are represented by a one-size-fits-all figure that is a fair reflection of the industry more significant sample of foals at the sales. average will never be straightforward, but based on feedback With talk of overproduction having returned to the industry of from last year's analysis, the figure that will be used this year is late, particularly so after the most recent foal sales, it is very 4,000gns. The following list is of the relevant numbers relating interesting to note that the 2016 foal sales saw an increase in to every stallion based in Great Britain and Ireland that had their representatives of first-season sires. Bearing in mind that the first live foals on the ground in 2016 based on data provided by 2015 foal sales saw the progeny of nine new sires with 75 or Weatherbys. While these numbers are accurate up to the more foals, eyebrows will justifiably be raised that at least 14 beginning of January, some of the mares covered by the sires in new sires (which could potentially rise to as many of 17 pending questions have not had a return made by their breeder yet.

Analysing First Crop Foal Sale Performance cont There tend to be live foals amongst those no returns that have yet to be registered with Weatherbys, so it is reasonable to expect these live foal numbers to rise slightly between now and the yearling sales. In common with the difficulties of deciding on a fixed-cost figure that is fair to all, choosing what Euro/Sterling exchange rate to use is also a challenge given that some stud fees are paid as early as Oct. 1 after the mare is covered, whilst others may not be paid until the summer months after the foal is born. In an effort to find a fair mid-point, an exchange rate of 78p to i1 from Mar. 1 2016 has been used. Given the impact of Brexit and the consequent weakening of Sterling to 85p to i1 at the time of the foal sales, Irish-based stallions were favoured, and thus the exploits of British-based stallions can be slightly upgraded. Depicted in the corresponding table is what the data tells us, with the sires being put in order of the highest "Median as a multiple of stud fee + costs" statistic. Given the aforementioned disadvantage that British-based stallions faced in this analysis owing to exchange rate fluctuations, it is notable that the two sires that come out best at the figures amongst those that had 20 or more foals that changed hands in the ring were Mukhadram (Shadwell) and Garswood (Cheveley Park). Mukhadram is a son of Shamardal that was admirably consistent at Group 1 level as a 4- and 5-year-old, registering his sole success at that level when running out the surprise winner of the Coral-Eclipse at Sandown in 2014. While he may not have had the sexiest of profiles as a racehorse, he was the highest-rated son of Shamardal to retire to stud with his career-high official rating of 125 being superior to anything achieved by Lope De Vega or Casamento. That fact, coupled with good looks that helped him realise 190,000gns as a foal, made him a popular choice for breeders at his opening fee of ,7,000. It is notable that Shadwell have been keen to support him at the sales. Indeed, they signed for three of the six highest-priced foals by Mukhadram including the most expensive one, a colt out of My Inspiration that realised 120,000gns at Tattersalls. That colt is from an old Shadwell family that produced Lahib amongst others and was the first foal out of an Invincible Spirit mare that cost his breeders just 32,000gns when carrying him the previous year. Outside that headline lot, there was a good spread of support for Mukhadram's progeny at a higher level than one would expect given the fee he stood at, and his numbers read well against his peers. It certainly represents a very positive start for him and his yearlings will be eagerly anticipated. His covering fee has remained unchanged at ,7,000 since his first season.

JOCKEY CLUB DENIES KEMPTON CHANGES The Jockey Club has shot down rumours that it is considering alternatives to the proposed total redevelopment of Kempton Park. It was announced in January that Kempton could be closed for housing redevelopment from 2021 at the earliest, and that the Jockey Club hopes to invest ,500-million into the sport in a 10-year plan, including significant upgrades to nearby Sandown Racecourse. Newspaper reports on Friday suggested a smaller redevelopment plan that would allow Kempton to stay open was being considered, but the Jockey Club responded in a statement, "Nothing has changed since the Jockey Club announced on Jan. 10 the submission of our full estate at Kempton Park for consideration in Spelthorne Borough Council's Local Plan. Any suggestion to the contrary is inaccurate. We now Freddy Tylicki and Speedy Boarding | Scoop Dyga await the outcome of Spelthorne's Local Plan Review process."

EL CAMINO REAL DERBY cont.

Mario Gutierrez, J. Paul Reddam & Doug O=Neill | Benoit

Reddam Racing and trainer Doug O=Neill look for their second straight score in the El Camino Real Derby off the heels of Frank Conversation (Quality Road)=s popular tally in the 2016 renewal. Ann Arbor Eddie (Square Eddie) will carry Reddam=s purple-and- white silks riding a two-race winning streak, headed by a tally in Santa Anita=s California Cup Derby Jan. 28. Like Sheer Flattery, Ann Arbor Eddie will also be making his synthetic debut here. The Reddam-O=Neill tandem was responsible for last month=s California Derby at Golden Gate with So Conflated (Eskendereya). More Power to Him (Slew=s Tiznow), runner-up after leading in the stretch of the California Derby Jan. 21, leads the way for the local hopefuls.

Ed DeRosa of TwinSpires .com takes on TDN's Steve Sherack and Brian DiDonato as they handicap each prep race leading up to the GI Kentucky Derby. The three will make $100 Win/Place bets--highest bankroll after the Lexington S. wins.

GIII El Camino Real Derby - Granted, if either of the two favorites take their dirt form to the synthetic, they=ll be awfully difficult to top. That being said, Tribal Storm looks sneaky enough to take a shot with at a nice price in this compact field. His Oct. 23 Golden Gate debut sprinting on grass was about as visually impressive as it gets (came flying home in :11.94 after racing very far back after some early trouble) and, following a game optional claiming tally over the Del Mar dirt, he kicked off his sophomore season off a two-month break with a respectable third-place finish behind Ann Arbor Eddie when stretched to two turns for the first time. Tribal Storm has some foundation under him now, and if his grass form that he showcased on debut was any indication, this switch to the all-weather may exactly what he=s looking for. Selection: #4 Tribal Storm (8-1).

In this month’s TDN Weekend, you’ll be in- spired to do just that. It’s February, and for those of who grew up in the Northeast (and grew tired of the cold-weather racing at Aqueduct, or Laurel) that means one thing: it’s time for a visit to Gulfstream. Whether you’re planning a trip for the big 3yo rac- es, or the Gulfstream sale March 1, it’s time to read up on what to see and where to be seen in South Beach. Further south still, we’ll catch up with Teo Ah Khing, who is planning a racing paradise in St. Lucia. Gra- ham Motion has also headed to Miami for winter racing, and he’ll have this month’s Last Word. Chris McGrath reminds us that winter in England doesn’t mean sunbath- ing: it means steeplechasing, and there’s no better place to do it than Cheltenham. And finally, before you get ready to breed your mare in Europe this year, take heed: there’s a revolution happening in France.
