Berkshire Shadow Cont. A little over seven years on from their first foray into the racing world, that's where Paul and Lisa Spickett found themselves on Tuesday thanks to the G2 Coventry S. winner Berkshire Shadow (GB) (Dark Angel {Ire}). The colt's purchase from one of the best breeders in Britain, Cheveley Park Stud, may have marked a step up in quality, but by Book 1 standards, his 40,000gns price tag was still fairly modest. It's safe to say, however, that the grandson of Ballymacoll Stud's outstanding racemare Islington (Ire) (Sadler's Wells) is worth considerably more than that now, and that the Spicketts will likely be on the receiving end of enquiring phone calls from several stallion masters. "I'm ecstatic," said Paul Spickett after the Andrew Balding-trained Berkshire Shadow extended his record to two wins from two starts--both in his owners' home county of Berkshire. "This is a childhood dream come true. It's just a magical day." He added, "The vibes were that we were going to win but we were up against a lot of good horses. Shadow didn't put a foot wrong [on debut] at Newbury; we wanted to run him again but we couldn't, so Andrew said 'let's just go straight to Ascot and, win or lose, we've got a good 3-year-old'." Berkshire Shadow is the second runner at Royal Ascot for the Spicketts after Berkshire Rocco (Fr) (Sir Percy {GB}), who was runner-up in the G2 Queen's Vase when the meeting was held "I work hard with all my guys on the shop floor so when I get behind closed doors last year. He then went on to fill the same the odd hour off I put the odd little wager on and I have just spot in the St Leger. been looking forward to coming racing with my wife and "We had our first Royal Ascot runner last year so we decided enjoying the day." to get all dressed up at home as we couldn't come racing, and Spickett credits his trainer's mother, the notably good breeder we had a second in the Queen's Vase which was amazing, but Emma Balding of Kingsclere Stud, for helping him with getting this is phenomenal," said Spickett, who runs his horses in the started on the racing and breeding front. name of his company Berkshire Parts and Panels. He continued, "I had a very good mentor, which was Andrew's mum, who told me in no uncertain terms not to spend too much money. So I took that on board, although I was originally only supposed to buy one horse and I came back with two. The great thing about today is that Berkshire Shadow was bought for my wife. She loves greys and she wanted to get back into racing and we couldn't have hoped for a better day." The owner has kept his first two racehorses and he can now add breeder to his list of racing interests. "I still have them both as broodmares and they board with Jenny Norris. Honey has bred [dual winner] Jojo Rabbit (GB), which has been brilliant, and everything Beauty breeds is just so pretty I almost don't care about the racing. I take my grand-daughter Ophelia over to visit the mares and foals and she loves to go to see them so it's something nice for us all to do as a family. I'd like to step up the breeding a little bit and might Paul Spickett at Royal Ascot look for a nice mare." Cont. p12 TDN EUROPE • PAGE 12 OF 20 • THETDN.COM WEDNESDAY • 16 JUNE 2021

The mare was unraced, and a moderate 2-year-old purchase in SEYMOUR BLOODSTOCK 2017 at 6,000 gns (AU$11,970). In 2018, she cost Pilkington little more than that when he bought her for 9,000 gns (AU$17,955) REPRESENTED AT ASCOT at the Tattersalls December Mares Sale.

SILVER GLEAMS WITH BROODMARE DISPERSAL ADDED TO FASIG JULY; ADDITIONAL ENTRIES TO BE HARD SPUN POLISH ACCEPTED Fasig-Tipton has added a breeding stock section to its upcoming July sales in Lexington, Kentucky. The company will offer 18 mares as part of the Far From Over/Fountain of Youth Dispersal. All will be consigned by Stuart Morris. The group of mares are property of a partnership supporting young stallion Far From Over (Blame). The 2015 GIII Withers S. winner had been standing at stud in California before suffering a pelvis injury early in the 2021 breeding season that took him out of service for the remainder of the year. The mares that had not yet been bred to him were shipped to Kentucky and bred to stallions there. Due to the circumstances, the partnership has opted to disperse of all its holdings. Cont. p6

For while the owner of Fox Hill Farms devoted more attention to the welfare of those horses that had failed to extend their usefulness, into a breeding program, he also measured out for our benefit some precious genetic ore--none deeper than that mined by the winner of the GI Hill 'n' Dale Metropolitan H. on the very eve of Porter's loss. Silver State is the 11th domestic Grade I winner (besides three in Australia) by Hard Spun, who carried Porter's silks in a GI Kentucky Derby that truly served its purpose as a signpost to merit for breeders. Only Street Sense managed to overhaul him, with Curlin well held in third. Those two have given us seven and 14 Grade I winners, respectively, taking the 2007 podium aggregate to 32, in the process earning themselves fees of $60,000 and $175,000. In that context, $35,000 for Hard Spun-- especially as one of the last direct links to his breed-shaping sire Danzig--transparently represents some of the best value around at that level of the market.

Hard Spun cont. from p1 In fairness, the genetic seam that has proved so fertile was first opened up by Hard Spun's breeders, Michael Moran and Brushwood Stable. But Porter and his team certainly showcased the breadth of his talent, trainer Larry Jones developing him from the company of Pennsylvania-breds to become a key player in the Classics before dropping back to seven furlongs to win his Grade I in the King's Bishop S. Hard Spun then disclosed the kind of versatility we associate with Danzig, as a global influence, by subsequently beating Street Sense on a synthetic surface and then chasing home Curlin in that ghastly mudbath at the Monmouth Breeders' Cup.

Hard Spun, with trainer Larry Jones up, at Monmouth Park in '07 Sarah Andrew As luck should have it, Hard Spun's sophomore campaign coincided with a conspicuous determination by Sheikh Mohammed that his Turf empire needed to upgrade its seeding by in-house stallions. A deal was duly done with Porter to include Hard Spun among a series of expensive recruits made that year for Godolphin's feeder farms around the world: in Europe, champion juvenile Teofilo (Ire) and G1 Epsom Derby winner Authorized (Ire) gave the Sheikh precious access to the blood of two titans, Galileo (Ire) and (Ire), revealing their potency for his great rivals at Coolmore; G1 Japan Cup winner Admire Moon (Jpn) joined the Hokkaido roster; while both Street Sense and Hard Spun arrived at Jonabell Farm in Kentucky, at $75,000 and $50,000 respectively, alongside fellow rookies Any Given Saturday and Discreet Cat. Both Street Sense and Hard Spun would soon be asked to risk their early domestic momentum with a year in Japan. That mission might not have been entertained on a purely commercial farm, but they belong to a global program and, besides, were always guaranteed swift rehabilitation in the Bluegrass by the quality of the herd on their home farm.

Hard Spun cont. Regardless of any surface prejudices, it is rare in this day and Nor would external clients forget Hard Spun during his age to retain such proximate access to such a hallowed influence absence. His first crop ultimately yielded a record 17 stakes on the modern breed. Danzig was 26 when he conceived Hard winners, while the fourth-crop table of 2014--the year of his Spun (a mere youngster of 24 when he came up with War absence--put Hard Spun clear (whether by prizemoney, winners Front).

But even today it's funny Sure enough, having had no 2017 U.S. juveniles/2018 how those horses unchallenged by fashion, like Galileo, maintain sophomores, Hard Spun didn't miss a beat on his return. Indeed, into the evening of their careers a mechanical output that is duly the prizemoney banked by his comeback 3-year-olds in 2019 presented as an exception to the perceived "rule". was exceeded only by those of champion Into Mischief. Moreover he had been helped through his blank year by a useful propensity in his stock to keep thriving with maturity. That, in turn, reflects the soundness that underpinned Hard Spun's own career, which spanned 13 starts in barely a year, repeatedly giving everything he had in stretching his speed. The chances are that Hard Spun might have reached still greater heights at four--he would surely have been an ideal type for the Met Mile himself--but his services were impatiently awaited at Jonabell. So while he can also produce a romping GII Saratoga Special winner, in Green Light Go, we often see the benefits of maturity in his stock. Silver State himself is one such case, having seamlessly regrouped since his comeback last fall, while Smooth Roller only surfaced at four before thrashing Hoppertunity and Bayern in the GI Awesome Again S. Moreover, Hard Spun at Jonabell | Darley Photo American breeders may not be aware of the durability exhibited by some of Hard Spun's high achievers overseas, Le Romain Be that as it may, it certainly feels special to have a stallion in (Aus) and Moviesta having each soaked up six campaigns in his prime, at 17, who not only provides a direct tap into Danzig Australia and Europe, respectively. but also brings in names like Roberto and My Babu (Fr) as close Both also operated not just on turf but in sprints.

The only chink in Hard Spun's biggest win, in fact, came over five furlongs on the downhill genetic armor was always his damsire Turkoman, a son of Alydar ramp at Goodwood--and he's out of an A.P.

That who won an Eclipse Award as an older horse but made little versatility is the trademark of a sire who has shown a Danzig impact at stud, excepting another daughter who became dam of serviceability on turf (see Hard Not To Like) but has proved no Horse of the Year Point Given (Thunder Gulch). Turkoman can less adept on dirt (see Hard Not To Love!). And his speed is very perhaps be credited for the physical immensity of that horse-- often carried through a second turn: as, for instance, by and Hard Spun is another imposing specimen, who has stamped runaway GI Alabama S. winner Questing (GB), GI Breeders' Cup Silver State in much the same way--but he did not recycle his Dirt Mile winner Spun To Run, or GI Wood Memorial winner acceleration consistently enough and ended up wandering Wicked Strong. round California. A flair for dirt gives Hard Spun priceless distinction, of course, Incidentally, Turkoman lived to 34 and was lovingly tended to in an environment that might otherwise be wary of the strong the end.
