WRITERS UP by Sid Fernando Three horses bred in Argentina by Haras La Quebrada will make their next starts on Dubai World Cup day at Nad Al Sheba Mar. 28. Godolphin=s My Indy (Arg) (Indygo Shiner--My Light {Arg}, by Southern Halo), winner of the G3 Maktoum Challenge, Rounds 1 and 2, this year; and Prince Faisal bin Khaled bin Abdul Aziz=s Muller (Arg) (El Compinche {Arg}--Martina Girl {Arg}, by Mat-Boy {Arg}), winner of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques Cup (King=s Cup) at Janadriyah in Saudi Arabia, will face off in the $6- million G1 Dubai World Cup.

By any standard, this is a remark- able international for La Quebrada, which has been the leading stud farm and breeder in Argentina for the last 30 years, but now is in a transitional phase after the death of its owner, Hernan Ceriani Cernadas, two years ago.

AI am in charge of all the management and direction, and Maria Ines helps me at the office. I am still working with the same people--the same team- -that my father had. This team is headed by veterinar- ian Dr. Horacio Houssay and his staff, and it is also impor- tant to recognize the efforts of Rafael Garabento, who has been in charge of the estab- lishment for the last 45 years.@ The transition from father to son and daughter has been made easier by the suc- cess of La Quebrada=s A.P. Indy stallion Indygo Shiner, who had three first-crop Classic winners in Argentina in 2008. Indygo Shiner is at Hill >n= Dale in Kentucky for the current Northern Hemisphere breeding season. The stallion was a parting gift from their father, who years earlier had established some of the best stallions in Argentina by purchasing and standing U.S.-bred horses against the then-prevailing fashion for European-breds. www.coolmore.com P TDN HEADLINE NEWS • 3/26/09 • PAGE 6 of 10
