SIYOUNI FILLY SETS HILLS RUNNING MARATHON IN BROTHER'S MEMORY By Chris McGrath GOFFS UK RECORD The memory of John Hills remains cherished in Lambourn and beyond, nearly five years after his death, and on Sunday the late trainer's brother George--another member of the famous clan to ply his trade in the industry--will line up for the London Marathon to help fight the disease that claimed him (click here for fundraising page). Novice runner Hills, well known on both sides of the Atlantic through his bloodstock insurance business, has flown home to Britain from his Lexington base to put himself through the pain barrier for Pancreatic Cancer UK. "It's a cancer that needs more research, I think it's very underserved on the fund-raising front," he said. "Very often, as with John, the worst part is that when you find you've got it, it's too late.@ Cont. p7 Sarah O=Connell of Longways Stables with the record-setting Siyouni filly | Sarah Farnsworth IN TDN AMERICA TODAY LIAM’S MAP COLT LIGHTS UP OBS TOTE A colt from the first crop of ‘TDN Rising Star’ Liam’s Map (’s By Chris McGrath Song) attracted a final bid of $1.2 million to lead the way during DONCASTER, UKCWell, pick that one out of the net.

But it would be churlish not to grant a due ovation to the historic price achieved by a Siyouni (Fr) (Pivotal {GB}) filly at the Breeze-Up Sale staged by Goffs UK at Doncaster on Thursday. Presented by Mick Murphy and Sarah O=Connell of Longways Stables, lot 112 became the most expensive Flat horse ever sold by the hosts at ,450,000. It was her second visit to this ring, having been bought out of the Premier Yearling Sale here last year for ,95,000. On the face of it, that was a bold enough investment for a pretty little filly after the tribulations endured by the breeze-up sector last year, not least at this sale. But Longways have been with Siyouni every step of the way, having launched one of his first big stars when selling a colt to Ted Voute for i105,000 at Arqana in 2016. Le Brivido (Fr) went on to be denied a Classic only by a short head in the Poulains before winning the G3 Jersey S. at Royal AscotCa meeting that will doubtless now be in the mind of this filly=s new owner, Sheikh Nasser bin Hamad al Khalifa.

AIt has been strong for the right ones. I say it all the time, things really haven=t changed with the market. The good horses sell well and what the public deems as bad, nobody really wants. I know people hate hearing that, but it=s the truth. It is kind of a harsh market.

American Pharoah Filly to Calhoun A filly by Triple Crown winner out of a full- sister to Tapit will be joining the barn of trainer Bret Calhoun after bloodstock agent Josh Stevens made a final bid of $275,000 to acquire her for owner Tom Durant during Thursday=s session of the OBS April sale. AWhat=s not to like about her?,@ Stevens asked. AShe=s out of a full-sister to Tapit. Obviously, the American Pharoahs have shown a little bit of success so far. I think if you could ever get a good American Pharoah, you=d love to have them, let alone with the pedigree she has. She did everything right, breeze, stride and she was very well-mannered at the barn.

AI always worry about a big horse Thomas would understandably be high on offspring of being hard on himself, but he moves like a cat. When you watch Goldencents; the sire=s GII Louisiana Derby winner and the video, he just floats over the track. The guys at the barn say GI Kentucky Derby contender By My Standards, purchased by he is really laid back, so he is really easy on himself.
