FASIG-TIPTON RETURNS BIDDING TO KEENELAND, FASIG-TIPTON FAIRPLEX THURSDAY by Jessica Martini PUSH BACK NOVEMBER The inaugural Fasig-Tipton California Fall Yearlings Sale will be SALES held Thursday at Fairplex in Pomona, with bidding on the first of 285 catalogued yearlings scheduled to begin at 12 p.m. PT. The Fairplex sales grounds, which last saw auction action with the CTBA sale in January, was crowded with shoppers Wednesday morning. “It’s been a ridiculous amount of traffic,” said Adrian Gonzalez of Checkmate Thoroughbreds. “We were swamped Tuesday and they are already hitting us pretty hard this morning. It’s super, super encouraging seeing the turnout so far and we still have a whole other day to go.” With training hours still underway on the West Coast, Gonzalez said, “Mostly we’ve been showing to pinhookers. We haven’t seen very many California guys here yet, so it’s been mostly out-of-towners doing all-shows here so far.” Cont. p3

Fasig-Tipton conducted its first Santa Anita 2-Year-Olds in Training Sale in June and the catalogue included a very limited number of Florida-based consignors. With a strong group of pinhookers shopping ahead of the yearlings sale, Gonzalez is hoping some might return as sellers next spring. “I kind of have that feeling, that they might be looking for something to bring back to the training sale here,” he said. Between the activity at the barns and the strength of the catalogue, Gonzalez is looking for a strong sale Thursday. “Personally, I brought some horses that I really, really like, so I am hoping that it will be pretty strong,” Gonzalez said. “I’ve looked through the catalogue and it seems like there are quite a few very well-bred horses through different consignors’ barns. So I am hoping they brought some really nice stock as well. If it’s a strong sale, that should rise all tides.”

Fasig California cont. While California-based sires are well-represented, there are also a large number of Kentucky-based sires with yearlings in the catalogue and many of those yearlings by Kentucky sires are California-breds. The success of Thursday’s sale could go a long way towards determining the direction the state’s breeding industry goes in the future, according to Gonzalez. “I think what you can see in this catalogue is a lot of Kentucky- sired Cal-breds that came here as a result of a few new stallions standing in California a couple of years ago,” Gonzalez said. “People bought mares in Kentucky or had mares back there that they purposefully brought to California to breed to some of these new horses. So what you’re seeing is the result of a couple of stallions who drew these mares here and now you’re seeing a little bit better yearling crop. So I am hopeful that, if those breeders are rewarded with these yearlings, then they will continue to bring their good mares here. Because almost every farm I know out here has a string of mares that resides in Kentucky as well as here. And they swap them back and forth to make these Kentucky-sired Cal-breds. But if nobody gets paid for them--I don’t want to be negative--but they won’t do it again if these don’t sell well. That part of the program has made this catalogue strong and I hope it continues.” For years, Fairplex was the regular home of the now-defunct Barretts, which held its final auction in Pomona last October. The California Thoroughbred Breeders Association hosted a stop-gap sale on the grounds in January and Gonzalez said he was happy to be back. “There is not a better sales barns in the country than this venue,” he said. “I love being here. These barns are amazing. The horses show great here. There is plenty of room to see everything. For ease on the horses and my crew and the buyers, this a lovely place to be. Of any place that I’ve sold, this facility is the best.” It has been a quick turnaround for the Checkmate team, which was active throughout the 13-day Keeneland September sale that concluded Sunday in Lexington. “It’s a little rough on all of us,” Gonzalez said with a chuckle. “We literally had one travel day in between to repack and get to a new sale. My crew all works in Kentucky at those sales and we got here on fumes. But we’re sales prepped, so we are ready for this. As far as the calendar date, we knew what it was going to be, so our horses are ready. It’s just, for us humans, we’re just a little fried at the moment. But a good sale will help ease that pain.”

FAIR GROUNDS ADJUSTS DERBY PREP Dennis Drazin | Patty Wolfe photo DISTANCES The New Jersey Thoroughbred Horsemen’s Association Fair Grounds has made some changes to its GI Kentucky Derby (NJTHA) won a legal victory in a 5-year-old court case Tuesday preps, including extending the distance of the GII Louisiana when a panel of three federal judges ruled 2-1 that the group, Derby from 1 1/8 miles to 1 3/16 miles. The GIII Lecomte S. was which operates Monmouth Park, is entitled to collect damages extended from 1 mile and 70 yards to 1 1/16 miles and the GII from pro sports leagues that tried to block the track’s initial Risen Star S. went from 1 1/16 miles to 1 1/8 miles. attempts at getting sports betting up and running. “The Lecomte has always been a popular early season prep for According to the Sept. 24 opinion issued by the United States the horsemen and we wanted to provide the horses a longer run Court of Appeals (Third Circuit), when the four major U.S. pro into the first turn,” Fair Grounds’ racing secretary Scott Jones sports leagues and one college sports regulatory body (NFL, said. “The elongated distances of the Risen Star and Louisiana MLB, NBA, NHL and NCAA) filed a lawsuit and got a temporary Derby will help differentiate our races from the other Kentucky restraining order (TRO) in 2014 to keep Monmouth from taking Derby preps. We consulted with key participants from recent sports bets, those leagues had to post a $3.4-million bond as years, and they were in favor of the slight alterations.” security in the event that they lost the case. Fair Grounds will offer a total of 56 stakes worth $7.13 million during its upcoming meet, which opens Thanksgiving Day, Nov. The leagues’ primary argument, at the time, centered on the 28. The Mar. 21 Louisiana Derby card will feature eight stakes plank that Monmouth (and the State of New Jersey) were races worth $2.425 million. violating a federal law known as the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act (PASPA). Cont. p6 TDN HEADLINE NEWS • PAGE 6 OF 10 • THETDN.COM THURSDAY • SEPTEMBER 26, 2019

NJ Horsemen cont. But as that lawsuit crawled through the legal system, in May 2018 the U.S. Supreme Court struck down PASPA, which had prohibited betting in all but a few grandfathered states. As a result, last summer Monmouth became the first of numerous entities nationwide to start taking legal sports bets. But the 2014 lawsuit continued, and the NJTHA went after the leagues to collect on the bond as damages. The NJTHA contended that the 2014 TRO had been secured “in bad faith” and had the potential to put Monmouth out of business. In the NJTHA’s opinion, the leagues should be liable for much more than the initial $3.4 million of the bond--as much as $150 million in damages--because of allegedly lost business. Initially, that claim was denied by a federal judge. The NJTHA appealed, and in Tuesday’s ruling, the Third Circuit panel found that because Monmouth had been unlawfully subjected to the TRO for 28 days, that it was “wrongfully enjoined,” which the ruling defined as when a party “had a right all along to do what is was enjoined from doing.” The court’s majority opinion states that “Here, PASPA provided the only basis for enjoining NJTHA from conducting sports gambling, and the Supreme Court ultimately held that that law is unconstitutional. Therefore, NJTHA had a right to conduct sports gambling all along. We conclude that NJTHA was wrongfully enjoined and should be able to call on the bond.” The case isn’t over yet. Now the issue will center on how much money the NJTHA may or may not go after beyond the original $3.4-million bond amount. The horsemen will likely argue, as they have in the past, that they are entitled to far more in damages. Dennis Drazin, the chairman and chief executive of Darby Development LLC, which operates Monmouth Park, told the Asbury Park Press that the ruling “is what we were looking for. Not only to state our case, but it says we are entitled to damages. “The circuit court did not address the numbers in excess of the bond, because they didn’t feel that was in front of them,” Drazin continued. “The horsemen will collect some money…. We still have to prove what our actual damages were, so that would require us to show that had we been able to conduct sports betting what the revenues would have been.”

ON THE SHOULDERS OF GIANT=S NO NAY NEVER COLT STARS By John Boyce AT TATTERSALLS IRELAND Two veteran stallion sons of the iron horse Giant's Causeway have been enjoying outstanding seasons in 2019. The brilliant Pinatubo, rated 134p by Timeform, goes straight to the top of Shamardal's list of top runners by Timeform, displacing dual Royal Ascot scorer Blue Point, rated 131 after his rare King's Stand--Diamond Jubilee double. Another Shamardal juvenile-- the Andre Fabre-trained Earthlight--also has every opportunity to break into Shamardal's top 10 Timeform horses. Like Pinatubo, he's undefeated and also has a Group 1 success, the Prix Morny, to his name. Then there's Victor Ludorum, another unbeaten Shamardal, heading to the G1 Prix Jean Luc Lagardere. So three Group 1-winning 2-year-olds in a year for Shamardal looks a distinct possibility. And siring three Group 1-winning youngsters in the same year is no mean feat. Only three European stallions--Sadler's Wells, Galileo and Lot 467, the No Nay Never sale topper | Tattersalls Ireland Danehill--have ever had seasons with as many as three Group 1 By DaithR Harvey winners. Cont. p5 FAIRYHOUSE, Ireland--Another day of steady business on Wednesday brought proceedings to a close at the Tattersalls Ireland September Yearling Sale. With a reduced catalogue, matching last year=s turnover was always going to be a challenge and coupled with the absence of some big ticket lots the aggregate of i9,415,500 for the two days came in a bit shy of the 2018 figure of i10,488,000. However the clearance rate was quite encouraging and came in at 86% overall and was indicative of the general current healthy demand for racehorses. Wednesday=s average and median were down slightly on both the previous day and the corresponding day last year and thus had a knock on effect on the cumulative figures of i24,267 (down 5% on last year) and i20,000 (no change). There was perhaps a lack of star quality on offer as, compared to last year when there were 10 six-figure lots and a record breaking sale topper of i275,000, only two horses reached or passed the Shamardal | Darley i100,000 mark this time around.

Lot 467 was offered by the Hore family=s Mount Eaton Stud out of Rio=s Pearl (GB) (Captain Rio {GB}). Afterwards Kinane said, AHe is by an exciting sire in No Nay Never and he is a lovely big horse but one that will need time.

third season who will have 2-year-olds and 3-year-olds THE HUNT FOR VALUE performing when you offer your yearling for sale, it will always represent good value. Figuring out which one will kick goals is always the problem. Kermadec (NZ) (Darley, $16,500) , whose oldest are 2-year-olds, is one we obviously have a lot of time for. The progeny we have just continuously improved and they are all good movers--we may be biased!
