TAKE TOO FOR JUVENILE CHAMPION LOPE DE VEGA COLT A month is a very long time in horse racing and that was HEADS SOLID TRADE roughly what it took for Too Darn Hot (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}) to move from the central brain of the sport=s followers after he was sidetracked from the G1 2000 Guineas. Now that Magna Grecia (Ire) (Invincible Spirit {Ire}), who was widely held as the inferior of the two in 2018 despite his meritorious achievements, has inherited his space it is up to the colt who is the product of the Lloyd-Webbers= perfect breeding storm to carry out some dethroning. That has to happen on the merciless open plain of The Curragh which has served so well down the years, almost the Ahome soil@ of the Co. Tipperary outfit so often do they occupy the prime positions in the contests that matter. John Gosden seems to grow in stature with each passing week in a Newmarket now absent of the charisma of its late king, Sir Henry Cecil. Almost the Warren Place of the heyday 1980s, Clarehaven Stables is a rival of Ballydoyle as much as that yard The Goresbridge sale-topping Lope de Vega colt | Ireland was in the days of Dr Vincent O=Brien and last season Too Darn Hot looked one who could take it to another dimension. By Daithi Harvey Cont. p7 The first staging of the Goresbridge Breeze Up at Tattersalls Ireland got off to a satisfactory start on Friday and despite the top-priced lot of i175,000 falling well below the equivalent last year, the depth of trade throughout the day produced a very respectable set of figures. At the close of play 178 of the 196 offered juveniles changed hands for a healthy 90% clearance rate. The aggregate finished up at i4,990,500, just a fraction shy of last year's, with the average coming in at i28,037 (-5.7%) while the median rose 12.5% to i18,000. "The relocation of the Tattersalls Ireland Breeze Up Sale to the Fairyhouse sales complex has resulted in an extremely successful sale,@ said Tattersalls Ireland Chief Executive Officer Matt Mitchell. "A clearance rate of 91% with an average of i28,037 and a median of i18,000 is indicative of the sale's strength with the middle market particularly strong. We wish to Too Darn Hot | Racing Post thank firstly our loyal vendors who supported the sale with a quality selection of 2-year-olds, purchasers who came from 12 countries, Fairyhouse Racecourse Management who provided IN TDN AMERICA TODAY the track for the breeze-up and ITM who ensure a large number CRUPI ‘LEAVES A HUGE VOID’ of foreign purchasers attended the sale. The assistance that American racing mourns the loss of one of its most vivid and Martin Donohoe provided has contributed very much to the accomplished characters, J.J. Crupi.

Lope de Vega Colt Heads Solid Trade cont. from p1 There was plenty of chat beforehand about lot 61, a Lope De Vega (Ire) colt from Oak Tree Farm, and that chat translated into a jackpot of a sale for connections after the John O'Connor bred colt was knocked down to Richard Brown for i175,000. The 2-year-old was pinhooked by Norman Williamson for i28,000 as a yearling in the same ring and is now set to continue his career in Newmarket. "I'm a big fan of the sire and I think the best of his crops are yet to come," Brown said. "I thought he was the best colt here today and he will go to John Gosden. I thought he showed a lot of speed for a horse bred to get a mile plus."

Norman and Janet Williamson | Tattersalls Ireland

For Norman Williamson the Lope De Vega colt was the middle leg of a nice sales treble that saw him enjoy a 100% record selling each of his three offerings. After Colm Sharkey acquired his Slade Power (Ire) colt, lot 91, from the family of Tiger Roll (Ire) (Authorized {Ire}) for i52,000, Williamson reflected, "It's been a really great week. We had the horse in America [War of Will] win the Preakness, we had the joint sale topper at the store sale in Goffs UK and these three horses have all sold well so we are delighted. This is a tough business and it rarely works out like this but we are having a great time at the moment so long may it last." After a solid enough start to the sale the first juvenile to make six figures was lot 41 from the Slattery's Meadowview Stables. The Camacho (GB) filly was knocked down to the busy Richard Brown for i100,000 following a protracted battle with Marco Bozzi. The third produce of the unraced mare Thanks (Ire) (Kheleyf) was bought back by vendor Morning Star Stud for i5,000 as a yearling at Goffs last year and that decision was certainly justified in spades after she posted a very fast breeze on Thursday. "She is a sweet filly and I really fell for her during her show this morning," Brown said. TDN EUROPE • PAGE 3 OF 18 • THETDN.COM SATURDAY • 25 MAY 2019

Goresbridge report cont. "We've had a bit of luck with Camacho fillies at breeze ups having bought Teppal (Fr) two years ago and this filly finished so far clear of the others on time that she was quite an obvious one to try and buy. She is for Sheikh Rashid Dalmook Al Maktoum who we also bought [stakes winner] Pretty Baby (Ire) (Orpen) for but we haven't made a decision yet about who will train Vice President, International Operations Gary King her," he added. Twitter: @garykingTDN A similar refrain about deciding on a trainer came from Brown, [email protected] on what was a prolific day for Blandford Bloodstock, after he + 1.732.320.0975 had signed for lot 108 for i125,000. The Kodiac (GB) colt came highly recommended by vendors Tally-Ho Stud and Brown International Editor commented, "We've bought some top horses from Tally-Ho like Kelsey Riley Dream Ahead and Ardad (Ire) and when they recommend one Twitter: @kelseynrileyTDN you have to take notice. This horse then matched up with what [email protected] we look for so we were keen to buy him. He is for Sheikh Hamed European Editor Dalmook Al Maktoum who was looking for a proper colt so Emma Berry hopefully he will fit the bill." Twitter: @collingsberry [email protected]

Goresbridge report cont. After signing the docket Donohoe admitted to being pleasantly surprised. "I thought I'd have to give a lot more for her so I'm delighted. She is a lovely filly, she vetted well and galloped out very strongly after her breeze. Kingman is obviously going great guns and has the potential to be an elite stallion." The bay filly is the second produce out of the stakes winner Pure Excellence (GB) (Exceed And Excel {Aus}) and future plans for her are fluid. "I've bought her for a new client and I'm not sure where she will go. She will probably have a short break and then we will see, she could even be for resale at some stage," Donohoe added.

Katie Walsh | Tattersalls Ireland

Curragh trainer Michael O'Callaghan was a good supporter of this sale when it was held in Goresbridge and he continued that support by snapping up two high-value consecutive lots. O'Callaghan first struck for lot 147, a colt by Night of Thunder (Ire) offered by Katie Walsh's Greenhills Farm that cost i130,000 and he then gave i125,000 for the following lot 148, a filly by Dark Angel (Ire) from Knockatrina House. "The colt by Night of Thunder looks a very fast horse and did a good breeze. The stallion has been doing well and this colt has a good pedigree," said O'Callaghan before adding, "She [lot 148] has residual value being by Dark Angel and a three-quarters sister to Lethal Force. She is a lovely physical and is for Robert Moran. The sale when it was at Goresbridge was lucky for me, and the September Yearling Sale has also been good, so let's hope it continues." Former top amateur jockey Colin Magnier and his wife Jessica brought two horses from their local Skryne Stables to the sale and were rewarded with two sales of i90,000 each.

The legendary former eventing rider Sir Mark Todd was a first- time visitor to this breeze up sale and the fledgling trainer, who is now based in England, made his trip worthwhile coming away with three juveniles in total. Todd was assisted by bloodstock agent Hubie de Burgh and among his purchases was lot 29, a son of Siyouni (Fr) which was Norman Williamson's first offering of the day. After signing the docket at i65,000 Todd said, "This is my first trip to an Irish breeze-up sale.

International buyers were to the fore, including Blandford Bloodstock, who went all the way to $480,000 for Lot 611, by Redoute's Choice out of Victoire Celebre (USA) (Stravinsky {USA}). He is a half brother to Listed Parramatta Cup winner Arab Dawn (GB) (Dalakhani {Ire}), from a family which includes G1 Melbourne Cup runner-up Purple Moon (GB) (Galileo {Ire}) and multiple Australian stakes-winner Vengeur Masque (Ire) (Monsun {Ger}). Blandford Bloodstock's Australian representative Stuart Boman saw great similarities in the pedigree of the colt and a recently retired star of the turf by Redoute's Choice. AThe Autumn Sun, he=s a very similar profile horse; European family, staying background (and his) pedigree is very similar,@ Boman said.

CRUPI >LEAVES A HARLEM ROCKER WINS HEARTS IN RACING AND HIS SECOND CAREER By Diana Pikulski HUGE VOID= When Eric Hamelback, currently the CEO of the National HBPA, read a story in the TDN two weeks ago about how high school students from Mechanicville, N.Y., were benefitting from a program with ACTT Naturally, Inc., he was so thrilled to see that the horse in the program was MGSW Harlem Rocker (Macho Uno) that he became emotional.

His many grieving friends in the business could comfort themselves that while Crupi had suffered health problems for some time, he had been able to persevere in what he loved doing--and did as well as the very best--right to the end. In fact, some of them had enjoyed listening to him holding court, despite his deteriorating health, on the opening day of the Fasig-Tipton Midlantic 2-Year-Old Sale this very week. He had never allowed his difficulties to interfere with his ebullient embrace of life. Only weeks ago, he had made headlines at the same company's Gulfstream sale, topping the auction with a $3.65 million son of Curlin sold to agents Donato Lanni and Jamie McCalmont on behalf of M.V. Magnier and an undisclosed partner. If he can justify his price, however, that colt will only be the latest in a litany of Grade I winners educated by Crupi at his New Castle Farm outside Ocala, including GI Kentucky Derby winner Always Dreaming (Bodemeister), top-class miler Liam's Map (Unbridled's Song) and champion juvenile Uncle Mo (Indian Charlie).

Crupi >Leaves a Huge Void= cont. from p1 Crupi's ability to cultivate talent had been honed by a long first career on the racetracks of the Northeast, extending more than 30 years and featuring four titles at Monmouth Park, before he redeveloped the former Happy Valley Farm in 1995. But his horsemanship, exceptional as it was, was more than matched by the enjoyment he gave his clients. In the case of Vinnie Viola--whose St Elias Stables acquired Liam's Map through Crupi as a yearling, and who also shared in the success of Always Dreaming--that enjoyment extended into a deep empathy. Viola was blessed to meet Crupi at his first horse sale, at Keeneland eight years ago. The two men discovered an instant, nearly intuitive bond. Viola recognized in Crupi a radiant priority in life. AWhich was that you have to put other people before yourself,@ he explained Friday. AThat's what you should strive to do at all times, because you're given these gifts by God and you have to share them; and remain supremely confident in your ability to give; and not be hurt by giving. And I think if you have that in your life, it turns you into a gentleman like James Crupi, who absolutely lived life to the utmost, with the will of a warrior.@ Besides that Aunstoppable@ will, Viola credits Crupi's success to an exceptional attention to detail, Amaniacal discipline@ and his sheer passion for the horse. AJimmy lost his father when he was 9-years-old,@ Viola related. AHe lived in an old-world, very traditional Italian-American family. He was raised by his mother, who I think was the greatest single influence on his life. His uncles, after his father died, took him to the racetrack and from that moment he knew what he wanted to do with his life. He fell immediately into a furious, insatiable love of the game.

Crupi >Leaves a Huge Void= cont. like Uncle Mo! I remember hanging up that phone probably more pissed than I had ever been in my life that I'd just spent $220,000 on a horse I wanted nothing to do with. So he deserves 100% of the credit, for picking him out and also for convincing me.@ Browning said he suspected that Crupi owed much of his success to learning how horses prepare for races, long before he ever thought of preparing them for sales. In his youth, after all, he had no kind of start in the game. Crupi, who once professed to have first aspired to be a sulky driver, learned the Thoroughbred ropes under Ron Gibson before taking out a licence at 27.

I'd started with claiming horses, $10,000 to $50,000, but when I started to buy yearlings and 2-year-olds, and having horses broken at the farm, there was nobody who taught me more about that side of the business. AHe broke in every single good horse I ever had and picked out probably 90% of them. He basically put Repole Stable on the map when he picked out Uncle Mo back in 2008.@ Repole had recently endured an expensive failure by Indian Charlie when Crupi proposed Uncle Mo.
