JOHN SIKURA TALKS CALEDONIA ROAD SIDELINED FOR YEAR, WILL BE SOLD BAYERN’S FIRST YEARLINGS Zoom and Fish Stable, Charlie Spiring and Newtown Anner Stud’s champion Caledonia Road (Quality Road) will be shut down for the remainder of 2018 and turned out due to bone bruising, according to trainer Ralph Nicks. The bay, named champion 2-year-old filly of 2017 off the strength of a convincing GI Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies triumph, most recently ran last of five in the GI Acorn S. June 9 at Belmont. It was also announced that Caledonia Road will be offered at public auction later in the year. “It will be tough to let her go,” said managing partner Luc Paiement. “She was a brilliant 2-year-old with a pedigree to be a Click above to watch a video of Hill ‘n’ Dale Farm’s John Sikura much better older filly.

In the latest in a multi-part series featuring first- crop yearling sires ahead of the Fasig-Tipton July Sale, the TDN’s Lucas Marquardt sat down with John Sikura of Hill ‘n’ Dale to discuss the young stallion’s prospects.

LM: Bayern was a throwback horse in a lot of ways as a 3-year-old. You don't see that many 3-year-olds start 10 times in a season and build in progression from a seven-furlong graded race to the GI Breeders’ Cup Classic. Can you talk about his durability and versatility, and how that translates to him being an exciting stallion prospect?

JS: Bayern was a horse of exceptional talent--he was very fast. I thought his race in the [GII] Woody Stephens on Belmont Day was exceptional. He drew off and won by open lengths. He then competed against the older horses the same year. He won the Breeders Cup Classic. While there was some legitimate controversy about the race, if you look at his race record in total, he was obviously a horse of immense quality. He could win from 7/8ths to a mile and a quarter.

Sikura Talks Bayern Yearlings cont. from p1 LM: I thought it was interesting that his median was slightly above his average, and both were high for a stud fee--which to JS: For a 3-year-old to beat older horses winning the Classic, it's me indicates there was broad quality across his weanlings. Is really a test of an exceptional horse. that something you saw with his weanlings and now with his LM: He hails from one of the great yearlings? American families--you can trace him back to Courtly Dee. It's been a JS: Yeah, universally we saw quality-- sire-producing family, it's been a we saw them well received at family of great females. Talk about auction. He'll have a lot more that family a little bit and then talk yearlings to sell than he did about the opportunities that weanlings, so I would expect as solid presented to breeders. as he was selling weanlings, he'll be as much or more solid when the JS: He's certainly well-bred enough yearlings are sent to auction. So, he's to be a significant sire. He gets a horse that we were bullish about, beautiful yearlings. He's really a well- we supported him with a lot of our made horse.

LM: Is he a horse you expected to do very well at the 2-year-old sales next year?

JS: He was a brilliant 2-year-old himself. If he reproduces horses of his quality, of his aptitude, you'd expect that there would be 2-year-olds that train fast and go well who are really well received at auction. We expect that he'll have several offspring that will fit that mold.

LM: He's a horse that you could say he was an incredible sprinter that could stretch his speed or a true Classic kind of horse that was just incredibly fast. Is he throwing one particular type that you’re seeing? Does he kind of get a run of the gambit in terms of the types that he's getting, sprinter/miler types and Classic types, or is he throwing one particular type do you think?

JS: The Bayern foals--and now yearlings--are very athletic, they're very balanced, they really fit the picture from head to toe, they look like they are athletes. That's probably one quality that is consistent--they have good size, they have good scope, they move well, loads of quality. Whether they will be early 2-year-olds or whether they'll be Classic-type horses, time will tell. Certainly in his race record and his ability show that he was an equal performer either going short, going long, one turn, two turns. So I would expect he'd give versatility in his offspring as he was such a versatile, high-end racehorse himself.

LM: From your recent experience with Violence and Maclean’s Music, can you talk about what it takes to make a young sire and how that relates to Bayern and how heavily you supported him? TDN HEADLINE NEWS • PAGE 5 OF 7 • THETDN.COM WEDNESDAY • JULY 4, 2018

If Stradivarius provided the main course then no less a GOLDEN MOMENTS satisfying dessert was served 24 hours later by Agrotera (Ire), like the Niarchos family's Alpha Centauri a daughter of FOR NIELSEN Mastercraftsman (Ire), and another to bear the black jacket and yellow cap of the now familiar Nielsen silks. The sight of the lightly raced 3-year-old scything through the 23-runner field under a classic Jamie Spencer hold-up ride was an equally memorable display. The Sandringham H. may have lost its listed status this year but it surely won't be long before Agrotera's name is etched large in black type. "It was a pretty good week, that's for sure," says her breeder. "Those kind of weeks aren't going to happen too oftenCI'm not Coolmore or Sheikh Mohammed so I know it's a rarity to breed two winners at Royal Ascot." Stradivarius hails from a Wildenstein family whose staying credentials have been further embellished in recent years by the G1 Melbourne Cup winner Protectionist (Ger) (Monsun {Ger}), and Agrotera's origins are no less sturdy, despite her two Stradivarius, Frankie Dettori and Bjorn Nielsen | Royal Ascot victories at a mile.

That victory, however, was 20 days later and two furlongs farther than his original target.

"I obviously haven't got the formula quite right because they've turned into really good stayersCnot that I mind at all because I love the staying races more than anything apart from the Derby.

"I had a price on him which wasn't that far away from where he went in the ring, and I was also made an offer afterwards and I just didn't sell him. I can't afford to keep all my colts. I don't pick and choose and I'll put what people think are my best colts through the ring and I will sell. I'm lucky that I still have him. There have been others that I've bought back before that haven't turned out so well but I'm unbelievably lucky just to own a horse like him and I'm also very lucky that he came back. Stradivarius and Almodovar are both by Sea The Stars and they both have fantastic temperaments. When they go out on the course they are like police horses, they don't turn a hair." With earnings just shy of ,1 million at present, Stradivarius's Gold Cup win puts him in the unique position of having the opportunity to become the first horse to challenge for the Weatherbys Hamilton Stayers' Million, which was launched in the spring. He needs >only' to add a couple of CupsCGoodwood and LonsdaleCto this season's haul which already includes the Gold and Yorkshire varieties. Despite the lucrative incentive on offer, Nielsen is sensibly taking a race-by-race approach to the summer targets. "As far as the bonus goes I've always really been of the mind that horses aren't like motorbikes that you can take out and off As far as Nielsen's breeding empire goes, he clearly has you go," he says. "Anything can happen at any time, so I'm not another track uppermost in his mind: Epsom. The training centre focused on it at all. I'd like to see him get to the Goodwood Cup surrounding the home of the world's premier Classic may now in one piece and if he won and came out of that then obviously, be diminished in the path of the greater London sprawl, but for unless he wasn't in top order, you'd be pretty much forced to go Nielsen, who moved there as a child in the 1970s, it remains the after the bonus. You don't turn down ,1 million but it's not place which, though not responsible for igniting the racing spark, something I'm thinking about. I'm thinking about Goodwood certainly fanned the flames of an interest which would become only at this stage." a passion. "I was born in South Africa and grew up there for the first 11 years but even before I lived in Epsom, the blue riband of the Turf was very interesting to me," says Nielsen, who has dual South African and American citizenship but spends much of each summer in Britain, indulging his twin loves of racing and tennis. "When I was a kid they didn't have TV in South Africa in those days because of censorship but I used to listen on the radio to the commentary of Sea Cottage's racesChe was a great horse in South Africa who won 20 out of 24 starts and was actually shot by a bookmaker who wanted to prevent him winning the Durban July, so his story was fascinating to me.@ "Then being in Epsom I saw the horses most days walking around town, it was a much bigger training centre back then. I used to go to the Downs the day before the Derby and see Vincent O'Brien and Lester PiggottCthey'd take the horses for a Masked Marvel winning the St Leger in 2011 | Racing Post spin around Tattenham Corner in those days."
