Video, courtesy attheraces.com. Last Wednesday, in an advertisement in the Racing Post, Coolmore reminded us of Federico Tesio's views on the Derby--the Epsom Classic which has fallen to the progeny of Coolmore stallions in 11 of the last 15 years: "The Thoroughbred exists because its selection has depended, not on experts, technicians, or zoologists, but on a piece of wood: the winning post of the Epsom Derby. If you base your criteria on anything else, you will get something else, not the Thoroughbred." Caulfield cont. As the great Italian breeder died nearly 60 years ago, To get back to New Approach, I mentioned the rare many would no doubt argue that times have changed-- potential being shown by New Approach two weeks that this particular theory of Tesio's is no longer valid in ago in my notes on the bright start being made by a Thoroughbred industry which now tends to place Galileo's stallion sons: greater value on speed than stamina. "Even though this Derby winner shone over distances Admittedly, there have been periods since Tesio's of a mile and a quarter and a mile and a half--as his death in 1954 when Derby winner after Derby winner pedigree suggested he would--he had three impressive has drifted into obscurity. On the plus side, it was won 2-year-old winners over six furlongs last week," I wrote. in successive years in the early 1970s by those greatly "The most important of the three has to be the influential stallions Nijinsky, Mill Reef and Roberto, and unbeaten Dawn Approach, who provided his sire with its winners since 1954 also include such as Sea-Bird his first stakes victory, but there was also a lot to like (sire of 19% black-type winners), The Minstrel and about Tha'Ir and the filly Newfangled."

Indeed, the Galileo, winner of the 2001 edition, was represented by Derby was the only occasion he was asked to tackle a the incomparable Frankel, who was so stunning in the distance longer than a mile and a quarter.

Even so, the 7-year-old stallion has done tremendously well to be represented by three juvenile stakes winners as early as June, including two over six furlongs. After all, this is a stallion who has 22 colts from his 90-strong first crop entered in next year's Derby. His Coventry S. winner Dawn Approach isn't one of them, at this stage, but Bolger has entered News At Six and Alpinist. Alpinist, a son of Kirsten Rausing's excellent mare Alouette, ranks alongside Dawn Approach as one of three New Approach colts which Bolger has entered for the G1 Vincent O'Brien S. (National S.) in September. Eight of New Approach's Derby entries are listed as belonging to Sheikh Mohammed and five to Godolphin. Sheikh Hamdan owns three of the others, so New Approach looks set to play a leading role in the Maktoum family's fortunes. It is only fair to expect that New Approach received some help from his mares in producing three stakes winners slightly more precocious than himself. Sure enough, Dawn Approach's broodmare sire is Phone Trick. This American sprinter equalled a couple of track records for six furlongs in winning nine of his 10 starts, all over six or seven furlongs.

With only a few dollars in his pocket the Iyoung man was going to a strange country, however, he was going with an incredible opportunity to help fulfill his dream of being a horse trainer. “I was first exposed to American Saddlebreds through my dad. He’s my biggest influence,” said Turner. “My older sister showed. My first horse was actually a jumper before I ever sat on a Saddlebred. He was a Gymkhana horse. We enjoyed horses as a family. Mom didn’t have any interest in riding but she made tail bags and things for us. We would trailer in and out and stay at the campgrounds. It was a big social outing.
