AWe owned a really nice horse named Nonios and we own half of Scarlet Strike, so we were doing quite well. But the last couple of months it was kind of a one-way street to the negative.

He hit the front full of run with a furlong and a half to race, but Ashkiyr, one from the tail for the opening seven furlongs, weaved his way between horses and looked for a few strides that he might take advantage of the break in the weights. But Akeed Mofeed pulled out just enough in the waning strides to hold sway, all this despite being publicly pronounced at 85% by Gibson earlier in the week.

HOGAN DYNASTY STILL BURNS BRIGHT By Kelsey Riley Developing a stallion prospect into a world-class sire is without doubt one of the most difficult tasks in the industry. To turn out two is nothing short of remarkable. As such, what Sir Patrick Hogan accomplished with the father-son pair of (Ire) and Zabeel (NZ) is simply extraordinary. Hogan, of Cambridge Stud in New Zealand, in December announced the retirement of the farm=s flagship stallion, Zabeel (NZ), from stud duty. The 27-year-old had met with declining fertility, siring just five foals last year, and none of the mares he covered in 2013 got in foal. Hogan=s announcement marked not only the end of a long and successful stud career, but the end of an era, for before Zabeel-- four times Champion Sire in New Zealand, two times Champion Sire in Australia, twice Champion Broodmare Sire in both New Sir Patrick Hogan Zealand and Australia, and a cambridgestud.co.nz record 15-time recipient of the Dewer Stallion Award for progeny earnings in New Zealand and Australia combined--Hogan discovered and developed his sire, Sir Tristram. Hogan and his wife, Lady Justine Hogan, established Cambridge Stud in 1975, and that year began the search for their foundation stallion. Hogan traveled to Europe to inspect prospects in England, Ireland and France, but left empty handed, failing to find anything to fit his budget of around NZ$200,000. After returning home Hogan received a pedigree in the mail, and knew he was looking at his stallion. The horse in question, Sir Tristram (Ire) (--Isolt, by ) was an unheralded racehorse, having won just two of 19 starts for trainer Clive Brittain and owner Raymond Guest, but his pedigree spoke to Hogan. In addition to carrying the blood of such influential sires as and Round Table, Sir Tristram=s dam=s third dam was Selene, who produced breeding shaping sire Hyperion. AI picked him out on his pedigree alone more so than his race performance,@ Hogan explained. AHe wasn=t the greatest racehorse, but his pedigree was as good as you could get. In the eight generations of his pedigree he was full of very well-bred horses, so that appealed to me, and I could see within his pedigree a link that would suit a lot of the mares that were going to be available to him in New Zealand.@ cont. p9
