Lady Eli to Be Offered at Keeneland November WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 16, 2017 EQUESTRICON CLOSES AS A BIG SUCCESS LADY ELI TO BE OFFERED by Joe Bianca AT KEENELAND NOVEMBER SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y.--One thing that I think all racing fans can agree on is that racing fans are complainers. It=s in our nature, and most of it comes from a good place--being defensive about a niche sport struggling to survive in many areas and thus wanting it to be portrayed in the best possible light at all times. But the constant navel-gazing micro-criticism can get tiring and often becomes counterproductive, bogging down the industry in petty squabbles instead of tackling larger issues. That=s why it was so refreshing to go to Equestricon, the first all-encompassing horse racing convention, and experience nearly 100% optimism and enthusiasm. That isn=t to say there weren=t disagreements and grievances aired--quite the opposite. But everything was constructive, and the frequent spirited debates had a distinct undertone of empowerment.

I hope she can win another Breeders= Cup, as well as the Eclipse Award she richly deserves.@ A $160,000 Keeneland September yearling and $160,000 Keeneland April 2-year-old, Lady Eli broke her maiden first time out at Saratoga and capped off an undefeated juvenile season with an impressive victory in the GI Breeders= Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf where she defeated four Grade I performers and was later named an Eclipse finalist.

She has given us, our friends, and our families the thrill of a lifetime through her five Grade I wins," said partners Sol Kumin and Jay Hanley in a statement. "However, the true joy of owning Lady Eli has been witnessing her impact on the multitude of industry members, racing fans and general public. She has inspired the masses through her enormous heart and determination to persevere in the face of adversity. She is a racing icon and an ambassador for this sport that cannot be replicated. We thank all those that worked so hard to raise, nurture and heal her over her lengthy career. She is truly the horse of a lifetime." When asked by the TDN what went into the decision to sell Lady Eli rather than breed her themselves, Kumin and Hanley said, AThe decision to sell Lady Eli rather than breed her was, as one might imagine, an impossible decision. The answer is not because we don't love her. The answer is not because we don't stand in awe of her accomplishments on and off the track. We pinch ourselves every day for being the lucky stewards for this wonderful mare throughout her racing career. The answer is, quite simply, that at this point our primary intention in the Thoroughbred industry is to race, not to breed. Breeding a mare of this magnitude and one this historically significant is an entirely different endeavor, and one that we are not currently prepared to undertake.@ A half-sister to MGSW Bizzy Caroline (Afleet Alex), Lady Eli is out of a winning half-sister to GSW Jacodra=s Devil (Devil=s Bag) and hails from the female family of Grade II-winning juvenile filly Changing Ways (Time For a Change), GI Kentucky Derby runner- up Tejano Run (Tejano) and MG1SW Alwuhush. AThe brilliant Lady Eli has a strong connection to Keeneland, where she sold twice,@ said Keeneland Vice President of Racing and Sales Bob Elliston. AIt=s an honor for Keeneland to have the opportunity to feature her at our upcoming November Breeding Stock Sale.@ AI think she=s one of the all-time great turf mares,@ added trainer Chad Brown. Added Sikura, AShe=s a great physical, a big beautiful mare. She has as much versatility as you can expect in an elite performer. To race at a top level for four years is almost unheard of.@ TDN HEADLINE NEWS • PAGE 5 OF 11 • THETDN.COM WEDNESDAY • AUGUST 16, 2017 Equestricon cont. from p1 We were all here because we loved and were knowledgeable about horse racing, and the ethos of Equestricon was to make clear that we all could do things, both individually and collectively, to improve and grow horse racing. That everyone here was a stakeholder in the game, there are way more of us than we sometimes think and, especially for us younger attendees, that the future of racing is in our hands. One thing that struck me about the event and the seriousness of its participants was seeing featured speakers in panel discussions and then turning around and seeing them again in the audience of the next panel, asking questions and engaging.

  • Lady Eli Retired, to Be Bred to War Front

  • LADY ELI SIBLING MAY BE ‘STAR’ in 2ND CAREER by Jen Roytz Courtesy Paulickreport.Com
    COSEQUIN PRESENTS AFTERCARE SPOTLIGHT: LADY ELI SIBLING MAY BE ‘STAR’ IN 2ND CAREER by Jen Roytz Courtesy PaulickReport.com Boundless Heart didn't take to racing but appears to have a promising future in dressage The undefeated Lady Eli captured the attention of the racing world with her brilliant Grade 1 victories in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf and Belmont Oaks Invitational. Then, in an unfortunate turn of events, the filly stepped on a nail shortly after the Belmont Oaks, triggering laminitis in both front feet. Thanks to skilled management by her team and a bit of luck, the filly has seemed to rebound, returning to trainer Chad Brown's Palm Meadows barn and stepping back onto the track for a jog December 16th. It may turn out to be one of the biggest comeback stories the industry has seen in years. Back in her home state of Kentucky, her half-brother is working on a comeback of his own, and while it may not play out on the global stage like his half-sister's story, it too holds promise for great things to come. Born at historic Runnymede Farm in Paris, Ky., Boundless Heart occupied the same fence lines as his famous half-sister would just two years later. Consigned to the Keeneland September Yearling Sale, the dark bay failed to meet his reserve of $110,000 and was sent off to be started under saddle and prepared for racing. Runnymede owner Catesby Clay opted to send the colt to acclaimed conditioner Ken McPeek, but in two attempts as a 2-year-old and once at age three, the best Boundless Heart could manage was third.
