WHO’S HOT NOW One statistic that really jumped out at me, when I was reading over the initial sorts of material from the Aug. 1 run of new APEX ratings (I know, get a life), was how far ahead of their contemporaries Giant=s Causeway and Distorted Humor are as sires of 2005-2011 ABC Runners (top eight percent earners). Even given that the same horse can count as more than one year-starter (>runner=), and A, B, or C Runner each year it races (up to seven), for Giant=s Causeway (305) and Distorted Humor (294) to be so far ahead of their pursuers (Danehill Dancer is third, with 235) has to be significant, has to tell us something. In this case, I think it=s about class, combined with unusually good (relatively speaking) durability. One of the key concepts in the APEX method of stallion analysis is to measure the frequency with which a stallion sires good runners. >A Runners=--top two- percent earners--are key because they are the class horses, but B and C Runners are important to know about, too, because the sobering fact is that only about eight percent of runners--essentially, ABC Runners-- break even or better. It=s important to know which are the most consistent sires at producing those, as well as which are the most consistent sires of >top two percent= horses, or A Runners. Today I=d like to focus on the 2011 APEX statistics: which have been the best sires for producing A Runners, and ABC Runners, in 2011? In 2010, the leading sire of new A Runners was the Japanese sire King Kamehameha, a son of Kingmambo whose first foals were just 4-year-olds last year. Japanese sires do have vast numbers of foals and runners; sometimes we count their statistics in with the results for North American and European sires, sometimes we don=t. In any case, last year King Kamehameha sired 17 new A Runners to lead all sires. In 2011, now with his first 5-year-olds, he is again the leader, with 15 new A Runners. As I=ve mentioned elsewhere, most of the top Japanese sires are sons of Sunday Silence, so when you get one who isn=t, like King Kamhehameha, he=s liable to work over Sunday Silence mares. Sure enough, eight of his 15 new 2011 A Runners are out of Sunday Silence mares, and a ninth is out of a mare by Fuji Kiseki, a son of Sunday Silence. The leading North American and European sires of new 2010 A Runners were--there they are again-- Distorted Humor (14) and Giant=s Causeway (13). They lead the corresponding 2011 list, too; Distorted Humor has 13 new A Runners so far this year, Giant=s Causeway has 11. But a horse who has suddenly jumped up and is having a huge year is Kitten=s Joy (El Prado), with 10 new A Runners this year. P TDN HEADLINE NEWS • 8/24/11 • PAGE 9 of 11 • thoroughbreddailynews.com

This ties him with the young Japanese sire Deep Impact, one of Sunday Silence=s top sons on the racetrack, and who is racking up huge numbers, with his first crop just 3-year-olds this year. Kitten=s Joy just has 4-year-olds, and is having such a good year that he even has more new A Runners than the top sire with first 4-year-olds, the sensational Dubawi, who has nine new A Runners in 2011. Anybody who beats Dubawi “The Year-to-Date auction totals for North American and at anything has to be doing something right. Five European sales reported by TDN are revealing, as you’d horses are tied with eight new 2011 A Runners each: expect. The market has held its own against last year’s figures – gross and clearance rate up a little, average down Seattle Slew-line Malibu Moon (A.P. Indy) and Tapit a little – but no real growth. The gross for the corresponding (Pulpit); the very useful In Reality-line sire Successful sales has still been cut in half since 2007, the number Appeal (Valid Appeal); Stay Gold, another Japanese son catalogued and sold is down by 45 percent - so the of Sunday Silence; and Trippi, whose first South average, for the survivors, is down only by about 13 percent African yearlings sold so well earlier this year. Trippi is from 2007. But at least, after four straight years of decline, revenues are slightly up in 2011”. by End Sweep, a son of Forty Niner. -- Bill Oppenheim We like to know who the current leading sires of ABC Runners are, because these are the sires that are making people money. Here we placed the Japanese sires in a separate list, as we did for the statistics through the end of 2010 (TDN, February 9, 2011, pp10-11). Last year, King Kamehameha led all sires, with 75 ABC Runners in 2010; this year, he already has 69. Kurofune (69 last year), a son of French Deputy, is again second in Japan--albeit a distant second--with 45 ABC Runners in 2011; Manhattan Cafe, another of the most successful sons of Sunday Silence, is third, with 43. Among North American and European sires, Distorted Humor (42) leads Giant=s Causeway (39) in yet another one-two finish. Tapit, with just his first 5-year-olds, is a strong third, with 37 ABC runners this year. His F2006 TOTAL SALES AS OF AUGUST 21, 2011 contemporaries aren=t too far behind, either.

Go To The Head of the Class... Walmac Farm=s Hat Trick, a son of Sunday Silence who won top mile races as a 4-year-old in Hong Kong and Japan, shot to the top of the 2011 North American Freshman Sire list thanks to the impressive win by the unbeaten colt Dabirsim in Sunday=s G1 Prix Morny at Deauville. It was a first big-race success for trainer Christophe Ferland, based in the French Provinces and a former assistant to Richard Gibson, who left France last year to train in Hong Kong. Hat Trick has an all- American pedigree but is an outcross to Northern Dancer, , and Nasrullah which will excite a lot of people. Scat Daddy (Johannesburg), Flashy Bull (Holy Bull), and Hard Spun (Danzig) remain 2-3-4. Bill Oppenheim may be contacted at [email protected] (please cc TDN management at [email protected]) .
