He is from a strong Niarchos pedigree and Norman does a great job producing these horses." Godolphin added another three juveniles to Tuesday's haul of four, accounting for almost 3-million gns of the sale's turnover of 10,343,000gns, a drop overall of 22% on last year.

Another Star For Bermuda? The Bermuda Racing syndicate has already been rewarded for buying at the Craven Sale with Queen Of Bermuda (Ire) (Exceed And Excel {Aus}), a 230,000gns purchase last year through John and Jake Warren who went on to win the G3 Firth of Clyde S. and Listed Prix de la Vallee d'Auge among her four victories. This time around Jake Warren went to the same price for lot 79, a daughter of No Nay Never out of the winning Woodman mare First Breeze. The half-sister to listed-placed sprinter Master Speaker (Ire) ( {Ire}) was consigned by the Star Bloodstock team who bought her for ,40,000 at Goffs UK last August. "We had some luck last year with Queen Of Bermuda and Simon Scupham is keen to make the next investment for the syndicate--let's hope the success can be replicated," said Warren. "She did a cracking breeze and looks a real Royal Ascot filly. She will stay to be trained in Newmarket and is likely to go to the same trainer as Queen Of Bermuda." The trainer is , who earlier in the day had saddled Skardu (Ire) (Shamardal) to win the G3 Craven S. Star Bloodstock, which is comprised of Micky Cleere, Matt Eves, Byron Rogers and Noel McDonnell, enjoyed a good sale, finding homes for all five 2-year-olds offered at an average price of 124,000gns. These included the fast-breezing son of Orb (lot 76), who was one of two purchases on the night for the Cool Silk Partnership at 120,000gns. Rounding up the facts and figures from the first of Tattersalls' two breeze-up auctions this spring, Chairman Edmond Mahony said, "An improved clearance rate and a good cross-section of buyers, both domestic and overseas, are positives to take from the 2019 renewal of the Tattersalls Craven Breeze-up Sale. We deliberately catalogued fewer 2-year-olds than last year and understandably the turnover has reflected this decision, but it was definitely prudent to keep a tighter rein on the numbers." He continued, "The sale has as ever produced some outstanding pinhooking successes, most notably Tally-Ho Stud's outstanding 850,000gns Kingman filly, who is the highest-priced filly ever sold at a European Breeze-up Sale, and it has been encouraging to see new faces from Hong Kong and the USA participating as well as a significant number of buyers from throughout the Gulf region active at all levels of the market. Trainers have also responded positively to the new ,15,000 Tattersalls Craven Breeze-up Bonus and we look forward to rewarding owners for their confidence in the Craven Breeze-up as the season unfolds. In the meantime we look forward to the forthcoming Tattersalls Guineas Breeze-up and Horses-in-Training Sale which features a further 172 quality Breeze-up 2-year-olds and 132 horses in training."

Lasix Phase-Out Plan Yet to Involve Horsemen (cont. from p1) On Apr. 16, Daily Racing Form first reported that officials from Churchill Downs, Keeneland, and the New York Racing Association are set to announce a plan--possibly as early as this week--that would prohibit race-day Lasix usage for 2-year-olds starting in 2020. The ban would Athen be expanded to all stakes at the tracks in 2021,@ including the GI Kentucky Derby and GI Belmont S. Joe Appelbaum, the president of the New York Thoroughbred Horsemen's Association, confirmed via phone that he knows a phase-out plan is in the pipeline, but he wanted to defer commenting on it until the tracks make an official announcement. Hamelback said the HBPA would be comfortable participating in Lasix discussions with Kentucky tracks so long as veterinary leadership groups like the American Association of Equine Practitioners are also consulted. In 2017, when proposed Horseracing Integrity Act legislation sought to end national use of race-day Lasix, the AAEP released a statement that read, in part, AThe AAEP=s current policy on race-day medication administration endorses the use of furosemide [Lasix] to help mitigate the occurrence of exercise-induced pulmonary hemorrhage in the racehorse. This policy is based on the overwhelming body of international scientific and clinical evidence.@ When asked if he thought the proposed Lasix phase-out was more of a public-relations reaction to a potential national welfare crisis brought about by 23 recent equine fatalities at Santa Anita Park instead of a true Awhat=s best for the horse@ plan of action, Hamelback chose his words carefully before responding. AI agree that the situation that we=ve been placed in has been exacerbated in a public reactionary form,@ Hamelback said. ABut I think we can all agree that Lasix isn=t the cause. What happened at Santa Anita is multi-factorial. The only thing that we probably all know is that Lasix wasn=t a factor. So what I would encourage people to do is not make a reactionary response and paint yourself in a corner by removing something that A) Is in the best interest of the horse; B) We know didn=t cause the breakdowns, and C) What will happen when a fatality does occur in a race where there was no Lasix administered on race day? I don=t want to be driven by public perception if it=s not in the best interest of the horse.@ Hamelback continued: AI do have a strong opinion about not caving to public pressure just because someone clamors or uses an incorrect semantic that Lasix is >dope.= I take offense to that. Lasix is a choice. You don=t have to use it. I don=t want [any potential policy] to be a knee-jerk reaction.@ Cont. p4 The World Comes to Keeneland In 2018 Keeneland hosted 1,051 individual buyers including Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Sheikh Hamdan Bin Rashid Al Maktoum and M.V.

CARPE DIEM'S FIRST STARTER A WINNER AND 'RISING STAR' AT KEENELAND Nayibeth (Carpe Diem), whose first-crop sire (by Giant’s Causeway) loved Lexington himself as evidenced by his romps in the 2014 GI Claiborne Breeders’ Futurity and GI Toyota Blue Grass S. the following year, became the WinStar resident’s first winner from his first starter and a ‘TDN Rising Star’ to boot Wednesday. Having fired a number of bullets at Turfway and over this strip, the 1-5 favorite beat the gate like a typical Wesley Ward trainee and had only stablemate Owlette (Frac Daddy) at her heels as she zipped along. Getting away from that runner a bit heading for home, she cruised to the line 4 1/4 lengths to the good. There was a large gap back to third place. Nayibeth stopped the clock in :51.54--fellow Ward firster Chili Petin (City Zip) took :52.65 to complete the same trip in the Nayibeth | Coady Photo day’s second race.

The 8-1 shot showed more early speed this time to sit fourth out in the clear around the first bend. Scrubbed on to assert three deep heading for home, the bay out-gamed two foes to his inside and then stiff-armed two more over the top to grab his diploma determinedly. Rochambeau (Noble Mission {GB}) was a head back in second. The winner has a 2-year-old half-sister by Daredevil and a yearling half-brother by Lea. His dam sold for $40,000 at last year’s Keeneland November sale in foal to Carpe Diem. Big Torch Key fends off foes | Coady Photo
