KNICKS GO ADDS DASH TO A NEW HEIR TO WAR FRONT=S THRONE AT CLAIBORNE 'S PALETTE by Katie Ritz War Front is undoubtedly heralded as one of America=s top turf sires, but Claiborne=s Bernie Sams said he finds any stereotype that the stallion is solely a grass producer unjustifiable. AI think War Front has been labeled to some extent as a turf sire, but unfairly so because he got his start with dirt stakes winners,@ he said. AThen a lot of people started breeding to him and taking a lot of them to Europe. He probably is equally as good on dirt as he is on turf, if we had as many of them here.@ Sams=s theory on War Front=s progeny comes to fruition in the versatile ability displayed by War of Will.

So we should have every sympathy with the farms trying to drum up custom. True, WinStar doesn't hold back in introducing Paynter on his homepage as "one of the most popular and courageous runners in racing history." But if that's a pretty heady claim, even for a horse whose recovery from desperate illness so captured the hearts of the racing public, then the son of has certainly moved the conversation on. Because whatever else he may be, Paynter is now the sire of the fastest miler in history--even as he takes his latest cut in fee, to just $7,500. Okay, they laid out a conveyor belt for the Breeders' Cup this year. Knicks Go, in the GI Big Ass Fans Dirt Mile, set only one in a blurred sequence of track records. (New benchmarks were also reached on the day at six, seven and 10 furlongs.) Even within that context, however, Knicks Go needs credit for the electrifying fashion in which he saw off a horse as fast as Complexity (Maclean's Music), kicking again off fractions of 21.98, 44.40 and 1:08.25 for a final time of 1:33.85. Bottom line is that we need to respect any stallion that can get a horse of such flair, out of Maryland, with first four dams by Outflanker, Allen's Prospect, Medaille d'Or and Cloudy Dawn.

Knicks Go Adds Dash to Paynter=s Palette cont. from p1 hard to say. Actually this is the second time Knicks Go has demanded a But then Paynter, from his second crop, pulled Knicks Go out fresh look at his sire. In 2018, following a low-key launch by his of his hat. After scoring on debut at Ellis Park, he appeared to be first juveniles the previous year, Paynter mustered just 34 mares put in his place when tried in stakes company, only to establish at $12,500. In fairness, if what is plainly a particular anything he had resisted the affinity with Keeneland by usual drag better than most winning the GI Claiborne young sires, having maintained a Breeders' Futurity S. by 5 1/2 book of 103 at $20,000 the lengths at 70-1. If that previous spring. That reflected a performance came out of the positive reception for that first blue, he then proved its crop at the yearling sales, where substance by heading over to they had parlayed his $25,000 Churchill and beating all bar opening fee into an average Game Winner (Candy Ride {Arg}) return of $83,853. in the GI Breeders' Cup Juvenile. Having accumulated 438 While it is always true that a covers across his first three single star can outshine a seasons, however, Paynter was multitude of dimmer talents, seemingly now being drawn into Paynter had some useful volume the deadly commercial vortex so Paynter | Louise Reinagel behind him and finished behind familiar in a world where only Violence (Medaglia d'Oro) breeders flit nervously from new sire to new sire. Quite what in the second-crop sires' prize money table. He was back in the precocious detonation people had expected in Paynter's first game. After welcoming 97 partners in 2019, he kept solid juveniles, when both he and his sire had been unraced at two, is interest at 71 this year. Cont. p4 TDN HEADLINE NEWS • PAGE 4 OF 12 • THETDN.COM WEDNESDAY • NOVEMBER 25, 2020

In the prevailing climate, admittedly, a further easing of his fee was fairly inevitable. But hopefully that will assist him through the gate that divides the stallion who's still trying to make his name from the one who can be considered relatively proven, while yet remaining highly accessible. That's an elusive combination, making Paynter's credentials seem well worth revisiting. The Dirt Mile success of Knicks Go has elevated his sire past Violence to head the fourth-crop table as the year draws to a close. But he would still be a clear second without his standard-bearer, who after all was otherwise confined only to a couple of allowance wins, eight months apart, following his transfer to Brad Cox. Given the stellar achievements of Violence this year, with Grade I winners from three different crops, it would have reflected very creditably on Paynter even to remain in his vicinity. The key now is for Knicks Go not to turn into a burden, by appearing freakishly out of line with the rest of his sire's output. Paynter has so far assembled another 14 black-type winners at a perfectly respectable ratio, to named foals, of 4%. (That's a match, browsing stallions at a similar stage of their careers, even for {Dixie Union} and Dialed In {Mineshaft}--never mind many others who have not approached their excellence.) And if none of these are in the same league as his kingpin, the success of Harpers First Ride in the GIII Pimlico Special last month was his eighth in 15 starts. Liam O'Rourke, director of stallion sales at WinStar, emphasizes the solidity of Paynter's body of work behind his trailblazer. "I think it's important to recognize both aspects of his production," O'Rourke observes. "Paynter is able to get an elite, championship-level racehorse like Knicks Go and also have the depth to be the only top 20 general sire standing for less than $15,000. He's in the top 15 by winners, and just outside the top 10 (11th) by percentage of black-type horses. This combination should spell an upward commercial trajectory." One thing is for sure: nobody could be surprised that a stallion recycling the kind of genes packaged by Paynter should have come up with a horse as talented as Knicks Go. He is out of a full-sister to , and therefore also to Grade II winners Budroyale and Tizdubai; not to mention their unraced sister whose own mating with Paynter's sire produced GI Preakness S. winner (Awesome Again). Like Oxbow, Paynter finished second in the GI Belmont S., in his case caught close home by Union Rags. He got his Grade I next time, albeit his Haskell S. performance in hindsight appears to be better measured by the clock than by the depth of competition. Cont. p5 Keeneland Session Topper

Harpers First Ride took the Pimlico Special last month | Horsephotos

But where he really showed his fighting qualities was in then rallying from the brink in consecutive battles with colitis, colonic surgery and . Remarkably, between the skills of his veterinarians and his own resilience, he was able to clock a 114 Beyer on his resumption at four; and then late chased home (Macho Uno) in an apt bid for the GI Awesome Again S. Already as a yearling his physique had received a valuable testimonial, in being picked out of Book 1 at Keeneland September by no less a judge than David Ingordo, for $325,000. Everything was in place, then. And, while obviously no stallion is a cookie-cutter, O'Rourke sees the robustness that served Paynter so well as something of a trademark. "Paynter gives a horse depth and class," he notes. "They are very strong with a good heart girth and a good presence. They are athletes." Certainly that dappled streak, Knicks Go, gives smaller breeders something to dream about as they contemplate his new fee. As has been well documented, Knicks Go was co-bred against the odds by Sabrina Moore and her mother Angie, who were grazing a grand total of three mares on their GreenMount Farm in Reisterstown, Md. One of these mares was Kosmo's Buddy, a daughter of Outflanker opportunely claimed for $40,000 at Monmouth Park in 2010. That was her 36th start and by then she had amply established both toughness and quality, with two wins and as many as a dozen placings in black-type company. Credit for Knicks Go must also be shared, then, between his accomplished dam; and, in turn, the Maryland stalwart who sired her. (Though Outflanker contested ten maidens without success, his fine pedigree has played through at stud.) But there's no denying the pivotal importance of the resulting talent to his sire; nor, presumably, of his sire to that talent.

see certain proven sires not get enough respect in the sales ring, but I think planning to breed a 'race' horse and planning to breed a 'sales' horse aren't mutually exclusive things. The best thing for a mare's pedigree is to produce good horses: black-type horses. When you do so, you increase the value of your mare and each subsequent foal she produces. The Moores raised a great runner and it created commercial opportunities." Paynter has more than once had his back to the wall, but has fought his way back every time. "He definitely finds a sweet spot in the market," says O'Rourke. "It's an uncertain business in a good year, and even more so at the moment, but a sire like Paynter--who's so reliable, so well-priced and has shown he can get you that elite type--can take some of the risk out of it for the breeder. He's priced at a level where he can be important to Paynter, at home at WinStar | WinStar photo your breeding plans, whether you have two or 20-plus mares."

And the more a stallion like Paynter can achieve commercial traction, the more sustainable the industry becomes for breeders like the Moores, who are very much its lifeblood. Logically, after all, a sire should have no more "commercial" propensity than producing runners at an affordable rate. "We were thrilled for Angie and Sabrina to breed such a great horse from their small but growing operation," O'Rourke says. "Of course the market probably disagrees with me, when you TDN HEADLINE NEWS • PAGE 7 OF 12 • THETDN.COM WEDNESDAY • NOVEMBER 25, 2020

War of Will New Heir to War Front=s Throne cont. from p1 The son of War Front is among an elite group that can claim Grade I wins on both dirt and turf, and is the first of War Front=s progeny to snag a Classic victory. He recently joined his sire at Claiborne Farm and will stand for a fee of $25,000 in his first year at stud.

Click here to watch Bernie Sams talk on Claiborne=s incoming sire War of Will.

A $175,000 RNA at the Keeneland September Sale, War of Will was pinhooked privately by Norman Williamson before selling for i250,000 at the Arqana May Breeze-Up Sale in 2018. The youngster was purchase by Justin Casse and sent to his brother Mark Casse=s barn, where he made his debut on the grass. While competitive in stakes company at two, the colt failed to break his maiden in four starts and Casse decided to look past the colt=s grass pedigree, switching the blaze-faced colt to the dirt. The result was a three-race win streak, with a five-length maiden-breaking sophomore debut, followed by a graded stakes double in the GIII LeComte S. and the GII Risen Star S. That=s when Claiborne started to take notice. AWe started getting interested in War of Will when he won down at Fair Grounds,@ Sams said. AHe was very impressive. We=d kind of been keeping an eye out for a son of War Front, and he seemed to fit the bill.@ After drawing the rail position in last year=s GI , rider Tyler Gaffalione had War of Will poised for a perfect >up the rail= victory. But the seam never opened, and they ran seventh in a highly-controversial Run for the Roses.

The victory gave all connections--owner Gary Barber, Casse and Gaffalione--their first Preakness win and first-ever Classic win.

To that extent, then, perhaps the family and many friends grieving the late Guy, Duke of Roxburghe, can find some comfort even in the poignant part-dispersal of a stud that produced one of the most accomplished Thoroughbreds ever bred in Scotland.

MCKEEVER MAKING THE “That was the sort of thing that I wouldn’t have normally done because I wouldn’t have been around. So it’s just turned into a MOST OF AUSSIE STAY learning trip, which has been great.” New Experiences One new experience for McKeever this year was attending his first Southern Hemisphere breeze-up sale at the Inglis Ready2Race Sale in October, where he was able to be on the ground for the successful sale of a couple of pinhook purchases. “We had a couple of successful pinhooks there and I knew when I was buying one of them that it was going to be pinhooked at that sale, which was the Deep Field colt, and the other one I didn’t realise until we bought him that he was going to a ready-to-run sale and that was the Pride Of Dubai,” he said. “But that was interesting to see. Obviously we’ve had breeze-up sales for a bit longer in Europe but they’re taking off here but it was an interesting dynamic. It was slightly different in Johnny & Susie McKeever & James Ferguson | TDN AusNZ that we have more local buyers whereas yours tend to be by Georgie Dennis centered around the Asian market. Johnny McKeever found himself stuck in Australia at the end “Annabel Neasham was telling me the other day that she of this year's yearling sales season when the COVID-19 bought one and three days later she had it galloping, so it’s a pandemic ramped up across the world, but the bloodstock different experience than buying a yearling and breaking it in agent, who would normally be based in Newmarket, has and pre-training it etc before it gets to the trainer. relished the added time Down Under. “So I think they definitely have their place, I’m still definitely When Johnny McKeever arrived in Australia in January ahead more of a yearling fan than buying a 2-year-old in training fan, of the Magic Millions Gold Coast Yearling Sale, he certainly but it’s a useful tool for the in industry.” wasn’t expecting to spend the entire year here. But that is the way it has worked out for the English On the Road bloodstock agent with travel restrictions preventing him and his Now McKeever is beginning to travel around to Australian wife Susie from travelling home and thus the pair have spent a farms to complete early yearling inspections and started with a year-long working holiday Down Under. road trip to South Australia to visit Cornerstone and Mill Park. McKeever said that spending extra time in Australia allowed “We’ve been great friends with Sam Hayes for a long time and him to do and experience things that he never would have in a we’ve done quite a lot of mutual work in getting mares and normal year. stallions and so forth, so we decided that when the borders “We’ve been stuck in Australia so I’ve been trying to make the were open that we’d go an do a bit of a trip from New South most of it and learn as much as I can while I’m here,” he told Wales to South Australia by car, just to learn a bit more about TDN AusNZ. “It wasn’t so bad because we were able to make Australia,” McKeever said. acquaintances with people that we probably didn’t ever get to “We went to places like Broken Hill and things like that and meet for more than a few minutes like we would normally do at then we ended up going to stay with Sam at Cornerstone, and the sales, so we’ve basically just settled into a Sydney lifestyle. then we had a day with the Watsons at Mill Park. “We obviously couldn’t travel that much, although I did get up “They have a fantastic bunch of yearlings which we were to the mares sale on the Gold Coast, and I’ve been up and down privileged to see, and I think we were the first people to be from the Hunter Valley quite a lot and inspected mares and foals shown them so that was really kind of the Watsons.” and got involved with the foal and broodmare sales.

“From a learning perspective, even though I’ve been an agent for 32 years now, to go to a country and do a whole year’s cycle in it, it puts so many more things into place for you,” he said. “For instance, the race program here. It really helps explain how each carnival comes after the other and how they all fit in the pattern of the racing, which you don’t get when you’re just reading results at home. “Just to complete a whole year from a sales perspective, and not just yearling sales, and from a racing respective to see how the year ebbs and flows, that has all been made much more clear to me by living through it, even if it is in a COVID-19 year.” While he has taken so many positives from the time in Australia, in contrast, McKeever has also missed the entire sales season in Europe. With the help of bloodstock agents on the Johnny McKeever | Tattersalls ground, he has been able to make some purchases but he said he has found it difficult to buy without being able to see the stock himself. Farm inspections are another thing McKeever wouldn’t “I’ve got a good working relationship with a few different normally be able to do if not for his longer than intended stay in agents in Europe so I’ve been able to participate in guiding Australia but he said it’s a great opportunity for him to take his people via them into some purchases, but basically I have lost time in looking at all the yearlings, rather than cramming them the sales season in Europe,” he said. “When you’re not there on all in a couple of days out from the beginning of the Sale. the ground, there’s not much you can do about that so I’ve had “I bought 30 yearlings in Australia last year in conjunction with to put that down as a year of experience and missing out and a few different agents and some Asian-based clients and local now I kind of know what it feels like to be an Australian trying to clients as well,” he said. “So as I’m getting a little bit more buy at these sales. involved in the market here, it’ll be really nice to do the job a bit “At the moment I’m working my way through the mares for a more professionally so to speak, than landing from Europe on couple of mare clients that we’ve got and you get the feeling of Jan. 3 and then have to work really long and exhausting days what it’s like to be doing it blind from their perspective, whereas just to try and get through all the horses. normally I would be the guy on the other end inspecting them “I’m the type of guy that likes to see everything, I don’t there for my clients. handpick pedigrees beforehand because in general, my budget “With the young stock, it’s been impossible.

So I like to actually try and see every horse so a lot of foals in Europe and I can’t do any of that because that’s that I can pick a few out that are obviously not going to be the 100% you’ve got to be there and yearlings are pretty much the top lots but I like them which is kind of how we got Finance same, although you can go a little bit further then on videos.

Experiencing Australian Racing The overall year of experiencing Australian racing from within the country is completely different compared to observing from overseas and despite being well into his tenure as a bloodstock agent, McKeever said he has learnt so much about the industry this year.

“But with broodmares and horses-in-training, we have been participating. Unfortunately for horses in training, it was so strong that we weren’t able to get much bought. “It’s been an amazing year with how well the market has held up. Here I can understand why it’s held up, but in Europe, it’s Matthew Hill Revels in Role been quite staggering how well it has held up.” McKeever now has his sights on completing the rest of the yearling inspections around the Hunter Valley while also Finbarr Leahy Living the NZ Dream following the upcoming breeding stock sales in Europe, starting with the Tattersalls December Mares Sale in Newmarket next TDN AusNZ Trivia week. “From Sunday next week we’re doing four days in the Hunter Rob Archibald Thrilled With Zarastro Valley with 500-plus inspections around all the major farms there,” he said. “And then we’re going to go through the Gabbedy/Lynch Team Up for Colt Southern Highlands.
