AI was thinking it was unsatisfactory that Highclere didn=t have SHOWROOM A more horses up north--we only had one or two--and I thought we had to make an approach to see if we could create a GOLD MEDAL FIND syndicate or a couple of syndicates in the North of England,@ said Herbert. AI called up Mark Johnston, Kevin Ryan and Richard Fahey and asked them if they had any yearlings they hadn=t sold. This was three-quarters of the way through October last year, and each one said >yes, we have a few.= I went up with [Highclere director] Alison Begley to have a look.@ At Mark Johnston=s, Herbert and Begley were shown a Motivator colt out of Lemon Twist (Ire) (Marju {Ire}), a half- brother to Al Wathna (GB) (Nayef), who had won the G2 Prix de Malleret last year for Al Shaqab Racing, to whom Herbert is also racing advisor. Showroom had been bought by Johnston for i30,000 at Arqana August, and his Tuesday exploits no doubt helped the price of his yearling brother by Wootton Bassett who topped Wednesday=s opening session of the Osarus September yearling sale.

It won=t be lost on Highclere principals and members alike that the Mark Johnston-trained 2-year-old is a son of the syndicates= 2005 G1 Epsom Derby winner Motivator, but an even more remarkable chapter in Showroom=s newly started story is that his addition to the Highclere roster was something of an afterthought. When Harry Herbert and his team at Highclere set out preparing for their 2017 syndicates last year they decided, in the spirit of the Rio Olympics, to name each syndicate after a famed British Olympian. The initial group included Dame Kelly Holmes, David Weir, Denise Lewis, Edward Bevan and Edward Moses, but after the horses for each of those syndicates was sold out Herbert determined that Highclere was missing a significant presence in the North of England. As such, the Highclere Thoroughbred Racing - Nick Skelton syndicate was born, named for the Olympic gold medal equestrian, and Herbert and his team went on a hunt for yearlings based with trainers in the North.

I have only previously seen that at the National Finals Rodeo in Las Vegas, where there is non-stop entertainment throughout the night, and it drew a few funny looks when I tried to suggest it to the Hamilton Park board.

Triple Nine, Power Blade cont.

Triple Nine (Kor) (Ecton Park), winner of half of his 22 career local trips to the post and third to Japan=s Chrysolite (Jpn) (Gold Allure {Jpn}) in the 2016 Keeneland Korea Cup (1800m) and Triple Crown winner Power Blade (Kor) (Menifee), who will somewhat surprisingly cut back in trip for the Keeneland Korea Sprint (1200m), head up a strong home entry for Sunday=s Korean Autumn Racing Carnival at Seoul Racecourse. A four-time stakes winner, Triple Nine made four appearances at the Dubai International Racing Carnival over the winter, finishing a good second in a 2000-metre handicap in January before running down the field in his next three, including an 11th in the G2 Godolphin Mile. The 5-year-old has since returned to be second in a pair of starts leading up to this, most recently going down by a length to Power Blade as the long odds-on favourite in the Busan Owners= Cup Aug. 13 (video). Triple Nine will be joined in the 11-strong field by Champ Line (Kor) (Curlin), also an 11-time winner, but had a five-race winning streak snapped as the beaten chalk in the Busan Mayor=s Cup (1800m) in July. Despite his sweep of the 2016 Triple Crown and a fourth in last year=s Korea Cup, Power Blade cuts back to the metric six furlongs for the first time in nearly two years. The hard-trying 4-year-old gave a good account of himself at Meydan with a pair of third-place efforts, including the G3 Maktoum Challenge R2 (1900m) in February. The champion 2- and 3-year-old of his generation was fifth in Round 3 of the Maktoum Challenge, dashing any hopes of an appearance in the G1 Dubai World Cup, and his lone run since resulted in the Mayor=s Cup success. Power Blade won his maiden over Sunday=s trip. Also in the Sprint field, which attracted 15 short-trackers, are champion local sprinter Perdido Pomeroy (Pomeroy) and Haeya (Flatter), winner of four from seven and second to Silver Wolf (Aus) (Oratorio {Ire}) in the Ttukseom Cup (1400m) (video) at Seoul this past June. Post positions for the Keeneland Korea Cup and Keeneland Korea Sprint will be drawn Thursday morning at 10.30 a.m. local time.
