Arthur B. Hancock, Sr SPECIAL January 13, 2014 www.PaulickReport.com Keeneland Sales Legends: Arthur B. Hancock, Sr. By Natalie Voss It’s remarkable what great impact little events of chance “As long as I can make enough on the farm to feed these can have on the course of history. mares, I am going to keep them,” Hancock said at the time. In the 1840s, a southbound traveler in North Carolina discovered that his horse had developed a sore back. He When the farm was on more certain footing, Hancock happened to pass a small farm belonging to the Hancock wisely took advantage of the depressed market to pick up family and encountered one of the Hancock boys. The British-born stallion Wrack for just $20,000; the horse man proposed a trade: his sore but nicely-conformed would go on to become the damsire of Triple Crown horse for one of the boys’ simpler but sound horses. After winner Omaha and Ascot Gold Cup winner Flares. The consulting with a little brother, the boy agreed to the former steeplechaser was one of several horses Hancock trade. The little brother, Richard Johnson Hancock, made brought across the Atlantic, including Sir Gallahad and the stranger’s horse into the best racing Quarter Horse Blenheim, who were bought in some of the first known in the local area. stallion syndicates. That deal led to a longtime love of horses for Hancock, but it wasn’t until after the Civil War that he was able to continued on Page 5 explore his love of racehorses. Wounded in battle, he hap- pened to find refuge from the Yankee army in the woods near Charlottesville, Va. He was taken in by the Harris family, which owned a large estate. Like something out of the pages of a romance novel, he fell in love with one of the Harris girls, married her, and ultimately took over the family’s farm, Ellerslie. Several decades later, Richard Hancock made sure all his sons knew horses from nose to tail before they left for col- lege, but it was his youngest son who fell in love with the farm. Arthur Hancock’s early years at Ellerslie were spent taking his father’s horses north for sale in New York, and when he finished his degree at the University of Chicago, he returned home to help Richard run the farm. Richard handed over operations to him not long after in 1909. At that point, the commercial bloodstock market was at a low point as officials in New York threatened to halt racing in the state. Hancock trimmed his stock down to twelve mares and hunkered down, determined to wait out the financial storm. ASK RAY QUESTION: Will we ever see Garrett Gomez ride in another race? ANSWER: My hunch is yes. Garrett, who hasn’t ridden since summer of 2013 when he suffered a relapse on his 10 years of sobriety, has gone through personal and family issues. When those are resolved, he’ll be back in the saddle. www.PaulickReport.com Page 2 Stallion Spotlight Uncle Mo By Frank Mitchell Well-represented both by in-foal mares and by short year- racehorse, Uncle Mo was a revelation.

Other observers, including bloodstock agent Steve Castagnola, took note of the performances made possible by Langemeier’s foresight and care. Castagnola arranged a sale to West Point Thoroughbreds — the $1,000 short yearling was now a 3-year-old fetching nearly $200,000. “Two things – how good his videos looked in his two races.

    Velazquez, John R. (HOF 2012): Born: November 24, 1971. From: Carolina, Puerto Rico. Began his riding career when he entered jockey school in Puerto Rico in June 1988 and was riding in his native country a year and a half later. His first winner came at El Comandante in 1990. Launched his New York career in March 1990 under the guidance of retired Hall of Fame jockey Angel Cordero Jr., who works as his agent to this day. First U.S. win was on My Brother Jay, March 12, 1990 at Aqueduct. Earned the Eclipse Award as Outstanding jockey in 2004-05. Has 4 Triple Crown races: In 2007, won the Belmont Stakes (and his first Triple Crown race) on Rags to Riches. In 2011, won his first Kentucky Derby-G1, riding Animal Kingdom; he picked up the mount the day before the race when early Derby favorite Uncle Mo was scratched because of illness. Uncle Mo was Velazquez’ third Derby mount to scratch close to the race; he was the regular rider for Quality Road and Eskendereya, who were both scratched a week before the Kentucky Derby, in 2009 and 2010, respectively. Won his third Triple Crown race on Union Rags in the Belmont in 2012. He replaced Julien Leparoux, who had ridden Union Rags in the Kentucky Derby.

In 2009, was awarded the George Woolf Memorial Jockey Award, an honor granted by his peers.
