AThere is no middle market. If a horse checked all the boxes, they were going for decent money, not like anything like they were before the world turned upside down.

Through the first two days of the four-day auction, 395 head have summoned $28,103,500 with an average price of $97,582 and an a median of $50,000. At this point last term, 434 horses brought $38,248,500 for an average of $109,595 and a median of $65,000. During Tuesday=s opening session, 192 juveniles grossed $12,166,500 with just six bringing over $300,000 compared to Wednesday when 11 eclipsed that number. AIt had a feel of being stronger today than [Tuesday],@ said Barry Eisaman, who sold a homebred filly by The Factor (Hip 388) for $320,000 Wednesday. AI have not seen the numbers yet, but having a million-dollar horse sell late in the day, I think the numbers are going to be pretty good. We all entered this 2-year-old sales season uncertain. No one could predict what was coming down the pike. The stock market has gone up. I think many people are tired of being quarantined and are ready to go do something. Racing has opened up in multiple states. There was some buyers who felt bargains were going to happen and came to gather up those bargains. When you get enough of those folks, the sale ends up okay. I think, at most levels, this one has been okay. It is not continuing 2019 business as usual, but it is a beginning for our industry. Horses are beginning to get sold and money is starting to change hands. Hopefully our industry can rebound and we can get back to last year or the year before=s levels. For now it is certainly better than no sale or being quarantined.@ Cont. p4

OBS cont. Niall Brennan, who sold a $700,000 Distorted Humor filly (Hip 1253) and a $450,000 daughter of the red hot Constitution (Hip 341) Wednesday, expressed similar sentiments. AObviously this year it was a little difficult coming in to what the market would be,@ Brennan said. AWe are just very grateful to have a sale. There are still a good few people here even though it=s obviously restricted travel and we couldn=t have an international presence. At the same time, there are people here actively wanting to buy. They are doing their homework. The nicer horses are well sought after. I think the genuinely nice horses with a good pedigree, who vet clean, it seems like there are people here for them and they want to buy them. There is always money for quality. I think that=s always going to be true in the horse market.@ He continued, AWhen you=ve got more horses than buyers, the lower horses are going to suffer. And you=re going to see that in a lot of RNA=s and scratches. But if there is a market here, I think the momentum will carry through to the end of the week for the nice horses who people want.@

Brennan | Photos by Z A total of 261 of the 656 juveniles catalogued through the first two days were withdrawn from the sale. I think people are making every effort to sell their horses, but I think scratches and late scratches are a combination of two factors,@ Brennan said. AOne is vet issues. Post-breeze X-Rays reveal if there are chips or injuries and that can really hurt your chances of selling. And I think some of the scratches are due to that and some due to just lack of interest for those lesser horses. Maybe they didn=t breeze well or didn=t show well at the barn. There are not enough buyers here so those ones, there are just no homes for them.@ The OBS Spring Sale continues through Friday with sessions starting at 10 a.m. daily. Cont. p5

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR TIM WICKES This morning over a weak, too-much-milk cup of coffee, I read the TDN story announcing the new Breeders= Cup board, and Holy Field Mice. In a time when words like diversity and inclusion are tossed around like bags of peanuts at a ballgame, this new board reads like the party guest list at Tara. We live in a country where one-third of the population is Hispanic, Asian, or African American but of the 14 Directors and 42 Members, Alex Solis ll stands out like an Armani tux at an Iowa picnic. And he stands alone. We live in a country where 51% of the population are women, but in the United States of Breeders= Cup, there is only one woman Director and three more Members. Meg Levy, Kitty Taylor, Julie Cauthen, Liz Crow, Carrie Brogden--do I have to keep spitting out the names of bright, talented, successful, admirable women who represent the very best of our industry and who are not on that list? Come on Breeders= Cup. Get your head out of your past and catch up to 2020. BC should not stand for Boys= Club. OBS SPRING PINHOOKING TABLE THURSDAY • JUNE 11 2020

In Sharper Focus cont. "I went into the ring to buy her for a client of mine," Lyons recalled. "Ed came out of the Gods and asked me if I had underbid her and when I said I had he handed me the docket and said 'she's yours.' I thought to myself, 'happy days, it can only be lucky.=" He added, "It was the first time in my career that somebody has done that to me so it was nice. She's qualified for all the bonuses today so she's won a Book 1 Bonus and a Plus 10 Bonus. I think they're great, those bonuses, especially in difficult times." Those difficult times mean that there has been a concertina effect on the early part of the season, and a filly who would have been ready to run during the lockdown will now not be heading to the G2 Queen Mary S. next week. Lyons said, "She's the sharpest of our 2-year-olds. The lockdown didn't do any harm to any of the 2-year olds, but it did just prevent her from going to Royal Ascot. I've no interest in backing her up that quickly. She'd have been an ideal Queen Mary candidate but with it happening so quick, and with the restrictions on Colin [Keane] and everything like that, it's not up for discussion. It's just one of those years and there are plenty of races here for her." He added, "The last two or three weeks she's just been crying out to go away and that was her first time on grass, so all in all it was a very professional performance by her. She did it the hard way and I'm happy with her. This is the owner's first runner and Ed is delighted. Things don't normally happen like that but everything just came right. We ran four 2-year-olds on Monday and we don't really have horses for five or six [furlongs] so I was sort of putting round pegs into square holes on Monday. They ran exactly as I hoped they would do, and you can be a little rose-tinted at home but I knew that if we had a Queen Mary filly this was her." Lyons has a big week in store. On Friday he will saddle the favourite for the G1 Irish 2000 Guineas, the Juddmonte homebred Siskin (First Defence). "The closer I get to D-Day, the waterier I get but touch wood," he said. "We have to get there now and everything has to go right, but if he's the best horse he will win and if he's not, he won't." TDN EUROPE • PAGE 11 OF 17 • THETDN.COM THURSDAY • 11 JUNE 2020

Achieving a rare Timeform rating in excess of 100 for a juvenile FIRST-SEASON SIRES maiden winner, Calyx was firmly penned into many a punter=s notepad; very few having missed him as he lined up the PROFILES: CALYX INCOMING short-priced favourite in a 23-runner G2 Coventry S. at Royal Ascot just 10 days later. The Coventry S. is run over six furlongs on the opening day of Royal Ascot; a stallion-making contest that is widely regarded as the UK=s answer to the G1 Golden Slipper. The unusual events of 2020 mean that a quick back-up shall be the norm for 2-year-olds hoping to get a run at this year=s Royal meeting-- with racing kicking off in Britain only two weeks prior. In any ordinary year, however, a 10-day turnaround from debut to a date at Royal Ascot would be considered very impressive indeed. Of course, in any ordinary year, there would also be crowds. Fit to burst with all the excitement of a young child before Christmas and quite a spectacle for a raw 2-year-old seeing a racecourse for only the second time in his career. Calyx | Coolmore Stud Large fields at Ascot often tend to split and, as with any barrier draw, it can be down to luck on which side of the track the race by Melissa Steele develops best. Drawn on the stand-side, Calyx made his own This season, Coolmore Stud will stand Calyx (GB) at its Hunter race in 2018. Under the guidance of Frankie Dettori, he began to Valley base the first son of exciting sire Kingman (GB) to stand in draw clear at the three furlong (600 metres) pole and, with only Australia. A brilliant juvenile who produced several devastating the crowds for company, he put a good 10 lengths between performances, Calyx burst on the scene with brilliance when himself and the rest of his pack by the time he crossed the line winning the G2 Coventry S. at Royal Ascot on his second start, the winner, still a healthy length clear of the runners on the within 10 days of his debut. other side of the track. June is often an exciting month to be in Newmarket. In any ordinary year, the early Classic questions have been answered, precocious juveniles have hit the ground running and it=s all systems go ahead of Royal Ascot. The Warren Hill gallops become a melting pot of mutterings ahead of the five-day racing extravaganza and in June 2018, a young horse named Calyx was talk of the town. Progeny of Kingman were hotly anticipated. The Champion son of Invincible Spirit (Ire) had already delivered in the sales ring with the top price among his first crop of yearlings a cool 1.7 million guineas (AU$3,391,500), but would they live up to expectations on the racecourse? Enter Calyx. Making his debut in early June on Newmarket=s July course and exuding much of the same brilliance as his sire, the Juddmonte homebred scooted to victory by an easy five lengths. An early signal that the hype surrounding Kingman was fully justified and a catalyst for his stream of classy winners to Calyx with Frankie Dettori up | Racing Post come.
