The contests they have had in recent years as broodmare sires A RIVALRY ACROSS extends the rivalry they built as sires, where on three occasions they both finished as the top two on the Australian Sires' Table. THE GENERATIONS Redoute's Choice's first champion title in 2005/06, in what was just his third season with runners to the track, came over Encosta De Lago, who by that point had five crops racing. Three seasons later, when Encosta De Lago secured his second Champion Sire title, it was Redoute's Choice in second place, just over $400,000 behind him. In 2009/10, Redoute's Choice regained the ascendancy, winning his second of three Champion Sire titles, by just over $360,000 from Encosta De Lago. All in all, there were eight seasons where the pair were adjacent to each other on the Champion Sires' Table. In four of those seasons it was Encosta De Lago on top and in four of those, bragging rights went to Redoute's Choice. Overall, Redoute's Choice only recently surpassed Encosta De Lago for total Australian winners, 977 to 963, and he should have no issues breaking through the 1000 Australian winners Redoute=s Choice | Arrowfield Stud milestone given his final crop are yet to turn two. He also leads Encosta De Lago in terms of the number of Australian stakes winners he has produced, 143 to 90, and total progeny earnings, by Bren O'Brien $140 million to $125 million. For the fourth season in a row, two of the 21st century's most dominant Australian sires, the late Encosta De Lago and the late Redoute's Choice, are fighting it out for the right to be crowned Australia's Champion Broodmare Sire, continuing a rivalry that has waged for over 15 years. Like Danehill (USA) and Zabeel (NZ) before them, these two great stallions have built a legacy and a rivalry that is set to power Australian bloodlines for years to come. Comparison of statistics can often be reductive when it comes to champions of any ilk, but in this case, it is easy to argue that putting one's amazing record in parallel to another elevates the argument for the legacy that both have left. In 2020/21, Encosta De Lago is set to gain posthumous bragging rights over Redoute's Choice. As it stands, Encosta De Lago holds a lead of $1.8 million in the damsire category and is set to end the late Arrowfield Stud resident's two-season hold on the honour of being Australia's leading broodmare sire. It will be Encosta De Lago's fourth Champion Broodmare Sire title and his first since 2017/18 when he completed a hat-trick of victories in that category. In that season, he also edged out Redoute's Choice, who would subsequently relegate him to second in the past two seasons.

Not yet. Small, agonizingly flexible words, in the context of a suffocatingly impatient marketplace. By any rational measure, it should still feel like early days in Honor Code's stud career. After all, his forte was always going to be two-turn horses that progress with maturity. And it was only this time last year that one such, Honor A.P., was basking in a decisive defeat of Authentic (Into Mischief) in the GI Santa Anita Derby. Luck would subsequently turn against this vital flagship, thereafter confined to two starts that did inadequate justice to his ability before being forced into retirement--and, indeed, into competition with his sire at Lane's End. But let's not forget that Honor A.P. was the only colt ever to beat the eventual Horse of the Year and, moreover, appeared to do so entirely on merit. Even so, with only his second crop of sophomores barely halfway through their campaign, Honor Code somehow finds himself at something of a crossroads. Cont. p3

'Honor' still Cracking the Code, cont. from p1

For the success of Max Player in the GII Suburban S. last Saturday shone a fairly unsparing light on the fact that for now he remains Honor Code's only other graded stakes winner, besides Honor A.P., with just two other black-type scorers to back them up. As another graduate of his first crop, of course, the fresh impetus of Max Player may yet be emulated by others responsible for this fitful record to date, which has seen Honor Code's fee halved to $20,000 from an opening $40,000. (A pretty standard slide, of course, as the freshman luster fades.) True, we all need to see Max Player do it again: the track was sloppy, and the runner-up perhaps a little rusty. But he certainly looked like a horse who, having meanwhile joined one of the powerful barns in the land, is belatedly renewing the promise of his GIII Withers S. emergence last year.

Regardless, long experience permits the people behind Honor Code to place in heartening context the teething problems of so many sires who then regrouped to become important contributors to the breed. "You know, people rush to judgement so early," says Bill Farish of Lane's End. "And we've seen it over and over again with our stallions: sometimes they just take a little while to get going. Kingmambo's first 2-year-olds just didn't light it up for people, and then he came on like crazy. We had quite a lot of interest in him [at that time] from abroad, but luckily Dad was pretty firm in his belief. And thank goodness. I remember breeding to him I think at $18,000, after he had started at $45,000. And there was a shareholder market significantly below that. What an opportunity that was!" TDN HEADLINE NEWS • PAGE 4 OF 18 • THETDN.COM THURSDAY • JULY 8, 2021

Before long, in fact, Kingmambo was standing at $300,000. book of 154. And, in scanning the horizon for reinforcements, "We went through a similar experience with Smart Strike," the Lane's End team can already make out the silhouettes of the Farish continues. "And Curlin was another, just the same. It's cavalry. The retention of several Honor Code yearlings for their amazing how everyone forgets now that Curlin went through a racing division reflected a concern that they might be tough stretch before he came undervalued in a market so flying out.

Cont. So while Honor Code's book this time round was evidently down somewhat, from 138 mares in his fourth book and 85 mares in his fifth, he remains absolutely entitled to consideration--not least, in view of that seamless pedigree, by breeders disposed to retain a filly. Perhaps there isn't sufficient commercial oxygen in the modern market for all three of those Whitney protagonists to find a sustainable niche in the Bluegrass. But it's far from clear that the current balance of power, between them, will prove a lasting one. Remember that even their oldest stock has not yet arrived at the point in their careers that they themselves reached that day. "Tonalist had a decent sort of book this year," Farish reflects. "I think he's really in the fight, too, along with Honor Code. His race record was phenomenal. People forget that he won the [GIII] Westchester and the [GI] Cigar, and was really a good miler as much as anything. They're not all going to make the grade but they each have the chance to ride it out and come out the other side. "But yes, while things like Max Player's win are great, you need more than that; you've got to have some new horses, some 2-year-olds coming along. And we're more than hopeful that we do. Sometimes you just need quite a bit of patience. It's interesting how we seem to have more stallions that need a bit of time, where other farms tend to have a bunch of hot 2-year-olds and then it all goes quiet. Ours seem to go a different route. But so long as they show up at some point, I guess it doesn't matter. And there are so many things to like about Honor Code that it's hard to imagine he's not going to come on through."

Baffert vs. NYRA cont. from p1 That finding was the fifth drug positive in a Baffert trainee over the last year and his third in a Grade I stakes during that time. Medina Spirit=s positive has not yet been adjudicated by the Kentucky Horse Racing Commission, but the gaming corporation Churchill Downs, Inc., has already barred Baffert for a two-year period from its five Thoroughbred tracks. One new bone of contention that emerged in the July 7 filing is that Baffert's legal team isn't pleased with NYRA's repeated categorization that its ban on Baffert is "temporary" (NYRA did initially tell Baffert via letter that it would reconsider his exclusion once Kentucky based on information revealed during the course of the investigation.) AOne thing is clear: there is nothing >temporary= about NYRA=s suspension,@ Baffert=s filing stated. AIt is now running on 51 days with no end in sight, and with no mention of a hearing through which the suspension would potentially be lifted. And if NYRA=s Bob Baffert | Horsephotos goal was to keep Medina Spirit out of the [GI] Belmont [S.], that mission was accomplished. According to queries from lawyers listed in the case file, AThe Belmont was run more than a month ago and NYRA attorneys still didn=t know late in the day Wednesday if the offers no reason for why the >temporary= suspension should judge expected them to arrange for live witnesses to testify at continue indefinitely--other than the debunked notion that it is Monday=s hearing, or if the court proceedings would be acting to protect the >interest of horse racing.= Enough is conducted solely via attorney arguments (which is what counsel enough. for both parties wrote that they preferred).

ADespite his distinguished New York racing career, without even a hint of wrongdoing, NYRA believes it has free rein to unilaterally void his constitutionally protected property rights and ban him from all activity in New York without notice and for an indefinite period of time based solely on unproven allegations of a minor infraction (an overage of an allowable medication) in another jurisdiction.@ Wednesday=s memo from the plaintiff caps a week-long flurry of back-and-forth legal filings in the case, which was initiated June 14 when Baffert filed a civil complaint against NYRA, alleging that the banishment violates his Fourteenth Amendment constitutional right to due process. NYRA told the court this week that it opposes Baffert getting any type of injunction that would overrule its ban, which the association imposed in the wake of Baffert=s shifting explanations after Medina Spirit (Protonico) tested positive for betamethasone after winning the May 1 Kentucky Derby.

The defendant=s attorneys contended last week in an opposing memo that AGiven Plaintiff=s history of drug-related violations, Medina Spirit=s positive test, Plaintiff=s contradictory statements, Plaintiff=s [then-temporary] suspension from Churchill Downs, and the fact that the Belmont was fast approaching, NYRA took the only sensible action under the circumstances--it temporarily suspended Plaintiff from entering and stabling horses at its Racetracks.@ In response, the plaintiff=s filing on July 7 tried to boil down the legal merits of the case as such: AFirst, Baffert was not afforded any due process before he was summarily suspended by NYRA. He was given no notice of any charges against him and no opportunity to be heard. Instead, he received a letter stating that he was immediately suspended and would not be permitted to race any horses in New York. That letter was issued over 50 days ago and, to date, Baffert has not been afforded a due process hearing. Courts have continually rejected NYRA=s efforts to either deny or limit a licensee=s right of access to racetracks without pre-deprivation due process of law.@ ASecond, NYRA does not have the authority to suspend Baffert trainer=s license under New York law. That authority rests exclusively with the NYSGC. As long as Baffert has a valid trainer=s license with the Gaming Commission--which he does-- NYRA cannot him from exercising that license at New York=s state-owned racetracks.

I think it shows that Keeneland is being more flexible with the industry as a whole. I think it shows the commitment that Keeneland now has in working with the people who fuel the sales. As a member of the CBA board, I know that the CBA is Two weeks ago, the TDN reported the news that Keeneland working closely with them and they are listening to what the would offer a two-day Book One with Day One RNAs offered at CBA is telling them as far as what consignors and breeders are the end of Day Two.

Lesley Campion, Paramount Sales Liz Crow, BSW-Crow and Elite Sales We are very pleased with the new schedule for the Keeneland I think it's great. I think Keeneland would have preferred a September Sale. Having the dark day after Book 2 makes three-day Book 1, but that's a hard balancing act, getting the complete sense and we welcome it. We would love to see right amount of horses between Book 1 and 2. We'll see how it consistency going forward and will do all within our means to goes. I think they're doing the best they can. I love the dark day make this format work for everyone. We recognize that being moved between Book 2 and 3, because it goes from Keeneland has an arduous task each year with placement, but around 200 a day to 400 a day really quickly. You get really consistency will help sellers better place and target their horses backed up because it's ship in, show, sell from Book 2 on. As an for their optimal book. We look forward to a strong market this agent or owner, you only have one day to look at a horse before year and can't wait to get started. you have to decide if you're going to buy them the following day. So moving the dark day is a really good idea. A new set of buyers come in after Book 2, so having that dark day makes sense. It's like a shift of one sale to the next. It's a totally different vibe from Books 1 and 2 and Books 3 to 6. It feels really good from my perspective to feel like we're all in this together to make this sale as good as it can be from a buying and selling standpoint. So that they're willing to listen and pivot is really important. I think they want to get to the point where we get a totally set format, but we're not there yet, and I think it's great that they're tinkering. Ideas like the RNAs from Day 1 at the end of Day 2 were tossed around at the CBA meetings, and they took that idea and ran with it. So props to Keeneland for listening and trying. It's so nice to see collaboration between consignors, buyers and the sales company. Lesley Campion | Paramount Sales photo Chad Schumer, Schumer Bloodstock While always happy to see forward thinking and innovation, I'm somewhat unsure about the RNA resale move. I wonder if it would be better to offer these horses late afternoon on the dark day, after buyers have finished looking at Book 3 horses for the day.

a change after they heard that feedback. We all have the same goal--to put on the best show when you're selling and if we feel this is a change that will establish momentum and help commerce, we're all trying. The fact that they were willing to make that change is a positive sign.

Allaire Ryan, Lane's End I=m pleased with the schedule for this year=s September sale. I know I am not alone when I say I appreciate being able to put our best horses in front of buyers for four consecutive days before a break takes place in the sale. This momentum is vital to everyone involved in the sale process including sellers, purchasers and the auction company. The delayed start times of these four sessions are equally as valuable in my mind. This allows consignors, like us, who sell in back-to-back sessions to Conrad Bandoroff | Keeneland photo effectively manage multiple barn setups and it ensures that potential buyers have time to inspect and vet a range of horses Conrad Bandoroff, Denali Stud on the sales grounds. I hope that it also translates to longer As far as the format goes, I have to tip my hat and give stays for those buyers, be they domestic or international, who Keeneland credit. When they announced they were intend to travel to the sale. consolidating a three-day Book 1 into a two-day Book 1, there was a lot of feedback from sellers and buyers about having a dark day after only selling two days. I think buyers were pretty vocal about putting more horses in front of them before taking a break and letting them crack on with it. It affects us because we sell in the first session of Book 2. It affects people in Book 1 and the first part of Book 2. You still have a very important group of horses and you don't have that much time to be with those horses in the barn. We're fortunate that we can divide and conquer, whether it's my dad with one group and me with the other, and I think at the end of the day, even though it puts a little strain on you, it's the right thing to do and it's going to establish some momentum for the sale and keep it going. They listened to the feedback from their customers, both their sellers and their buyers, they took our opinion on board and they made

Marette Farrell | Fasig-Tipton Photo

Marette Farrell I am in favor of the new format because it allows people to see more horses over the four days. There are many good horsemen out there who don=t need to be shown what Keeneland thinks are the best horses, because as we all know, good horses come from anywhere and everywhere. It is my belief that the more horses we put in the front of the book the better. Therefore, I am a big believer in thinking about a week one and a week two, like in England. The trainers/owners can go home and race their horses on the weekend or attend to their various affairs. Training horses is seven days a week and it=s hard to get away for an extended period of time.
