THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 26, 2019 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 Private jets at Bluegrass Airport during the IN TDN EUROPE TODAY 2015 Breeders’ Cup at Keeneland | Getty Images NO NAY NEVER COLT STARS AT TATTS IRE Both Keeneland and Fasig-Tipton have pushed back the starts A colt by No Nay Never topped the two-day Tattersalls of their respective November breeding stock sales by one day to Ireland September Yearling Sale when selling for €165,000 on allow participants extra time to travel from the Nov. 1 and Wednesday.

Fasig-Tipton’s one-day November sale will now be held Tuesday, Nov. 5, while Keeneland’s sale will begin Wednesday, Nov. 6 and run through Sunday, Nov. 17. “In keeping with Keeneland’s mission, we continually strive to do things that better the entire industry,” Keeneland President and CEO Bill Thomason said. “We listen to our customers and we respond; that’s what Keeneland does. We adjusted the September Sale format based on feedback from horsemen and produced the fifth-highest gross in that sale’s history. This change to the November Sale start date and our continued focus on quality guest experiences and hospitality are further evidence of how much we value our partnerships with owners, consignors and buyers, and respond to their needs.” He continued, “We recognize the importance of being flexible With two marquee industry events within days of each other, this allows our customers to enjoy both the Breeders’ Cup and the Keeneland November Sale to their fullest. We are excited to continue the energy and positive momentum from the September Sale and upcoming Fall Meet into Breeders’ Cup and the November Sale.” Cont. p3 PUBLISHER & CEO Sue Morris Finley @suefinley [email protected] V.P., INTERNATIONAL OPERATIONS Gary King @garykingTDN [email protected] EDITORIAL [email protected] Editor-in-Chief Jessica Martini @JessMartiniTDN Managing Editor Thursday, September 26, 2019 Alan Carasso @EquinealTDN Senior Editor Steve Sherack @SteveSherackTDN Racing Editor Brian DiDonato @BDiDonatoTDN News and Features Editor Ben Massam @BMassamTDN Associate Editors Christie DeBernardis @CDeBernardisTDN Joe Bianca @JBiancaTDN ADVERTISING [email protected] Director of Advertising Alycia Borer Advertising Manager Lia Best Advertising Designer Amanda Crelin Advertising Assistants Alexa Reisfield Amie Morosco Advertising Assistant/Dir.

Buyers will be able to enjoy the Breeders' Cup, and then have ample time to work through The November Sale at Fasig-Tipton, the world's premier breeding stock event." Immediately following the final session of the Keeneland November Sale on Sunday, Nov. 17, Keeneland will host a champagne reception followed by the seventh annual Sporting Art Auction in partnership with Cross Gate Gallery. Fasig-Tipton California cont. from p1 Fairplex sales grounds | Fasig-Tipton photo 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.” Cont. p4 TDN HEADLINE NEWS • PAGE 4 OF 10 • THETDN.COM THURSDAY • SEPTEMBER 26, 2019 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.” max speed The Fastest 2YO Of 2018.

Her first mating is planned to be with Coolmore's champion sire Galileo (Ire). Bred by Northern Farm and raced by Toji Morita, Deirdre's first three seasons of racing were restricted largely to Japan, where she won five races, including the G1 Shuka Sho. She also took third in the G1 Dubai Turf on her first start outside her native country. Following her return visit to the Dubai World Cup meeting in 2019, Deirdre travelled on to Hong Kong and then to Newmarket, which has subsequently remained her base for an ambitious international campaign.

    Vision Series 2018: “Where We're Going: Push Back the Darkness” Matthew 5:14-16 We Are on Week 2 of Our Vision Series

    Vision Series 2018: “Where We’re Going: Push Back the Darkness” Matthew 5:14-16 We are on week 2 of our Vision Series, and as you’ve already heard this morning from our Vision Team members and specifically from Molly Pitkin, we are going to spend this time looking deeply into our new mission statement which was revealed last week after a year of prayer, learning, and listening. Again, Colonial’s mission is “To be the light of Christ in a hurting culture so that the lost are found, the broken are made whole, the fatherless find hope, and our city is blessed.” As Molly mentioned, this mission statement was “discovered” by a team of people who spent many, many hours together in prayer, study, conversation, and discernment. Again, the Vision Team Members included Steve Aliber, our current Clerk of Session; Jim Cannon, our former Clerk of Session; Brian Mack, our Elder of Strategic Planning; Ken Kurtz…a current Elder at Wornall; Kevin Nunnally…a recent Elder at Wornall; Meda Green…Chair of Deacons at Quivira; Molly Pitkin…high school youth leader at Quivira; Ken Blume…Executive Director of Programs and Ministries; and me as the Lead Pastor. We benefitted greatly from our facilitator, Ted Vaughn, who guided us through a wonderful process of discovery. Now, before I jump into unpacking the Mission Statement, let me address some of your questions that I’ve been asked over the past week. First, I was asked why words like “making disciples” and “doing everything for the glory of God” were left out of our mission statement.

    U-17 Goaltending Program Technical Curriculum

    U-17 Goaltending Program Technical Curriculum U-17 Goaltending Program Technical Curriculum INTRODUCTION: GOALTENDING SKATING DRILLS To be a good goaltender you must be an efficient skater. Your goaltender does not necessarily have to be the fastest skater on the team, but the best in terms of control and mobility. Pushes from post to post and ability to get quickly to plays laterally are essential for goalies to be able to perform at a high level. Goaltenders must learn to push with strength and stop hard when needed. So when doing T-push or shuffle drills I suggest everything is done in sequence. Example: A coach should be calling out for the goalie to PUSH----STOP----PUSH----STOP------ PUSH----STOP etc. giving one second in between pushes. This will give the goaltender time to recover and will keep him from developing bad habits by doing the drill too fast. The ability for a goaltender to change directions quickly is also an absolute must as today’s game is a lot about trying to create a situation to get a goaltender moving in the wrong direction. In order to do this, and be effective, skating drills are a natural part of goaltender development.
