LATEST STAR SHOWS TURF LATE-BLOOMING RATAJKOWSKI TAKES NEXT STEP IN FALLS CITY LEGEND UNDERVALUED IN By Christie DeBernardis The long-legged Ratajkowski (Drosselmeyer)--appropriately EUROPE TOO named after model and actress Emily Ratajkowski--has been an exercise in patience for her connections, but has proven worth the wait. Winning four of six starts since coming onto the scene this year at age five, the Empire-bred looks to take her career to the next level on Thanksgiving in the GII Falls City H. at Churchill Downs. AShe has been a pleasant surprise,@ said trainer Brian Lynch. AShe is 17-odd hands, so she is a very, very big filly. She was slow to come around and had a couple of little minor hiccups as a two and 3-years-old. She got pushed back a bit further as a 4-year- old, but she always showed that she had a fair share of talent. The guys were patient enough with her and she has been a pleasant surprise as a 5-year-old.@ Cont. p7

Kitten's Joy | Sarah Andrew IN TDN EUROPE TODAY PAT SMULLEN: O’BRIEN ONLY GETTING BETTER by Chris McGrath In this week’s column, famed jockey Pat Smullen reflects on It's hard to know quite what Kitten's Joy has to do in order to the success and early retirement of top rider Donnacha gain a commercial standing commensurate with his O’Brien. Click or tap here to go straight to TDN Europe. achievements. As it is, the champion North American sire of 2018 once again proved unable to crack the top 30 sires ranked by the average value of their yearlings in 2019. Not that he should take it personally. We all know that the American industry talks a good game about the growing importance of the turf program, but won't follow through when young stallions as well-bred and accomplished as Flintshire (GB) or Karakontie (Jpn) are imported; or even when Noble Mission (GB) manages to produce GI Runhappy Travers S. winner Code of Honor from his very first crop. Old habits die hard, I guess, despite the American sport's agonized quest for surfaces that are easier on horses' legs. True, there are also dirt stallions whose stock seems to be perennially undervalued at the sales. But what I find barely less culpable than domestic neglect of Kitten's Joy is the failure of so many European prospectors to recognise and exploit the resulting opportunity. So many, but not all. Step forward David Redvers, who showed what Kitten's Joy can do in Europe when picking out a champion for $160,000 at the Keeneland September Sale of 2016. Cont. p3

Redvers cont. "We loved Hawkbill as a type and--once he went on to do what he did--we made our mission, if another good-looking one came up, that we'd buy him," Redvers recalled. "It took us a while to find one we really liked, but that's how we ended up with Roaring Lion. And after him, of course we were always going to be intrigued if we found another good-looking Kitten's Joy. I said straight after buying Kameko that we thought he was the value in the sale, so it's quite pleasing to be proven right for a change." American readers must indulge the following cricket analogy in a conversation between two Englishmen, but if you think in terms of a baseball "strike" you'll get the rough idea. "Kameko's dam, though a very good racehorse, had a series of 'dot balls' that turned people completely off," Redvers said. "So it wasn't really a reflection on the stallion that we managed to buy him for 90 grand, even though he looked pretty obvious to us. It's a very good family, a stallion's pedigree in fact, but at the time the mare was looking a bit exposed. So we got an even better 2-year-old than Roaring Lion for even less money." Nonetheless Redvers remains still more perplexed by the fact that they were able to "steal" Roaring Lion for only $160,000. "The mare was Grade I-placed, and he was an absolute superstar model," he said. "So possibly that does show a lack of appetite for turf sires in America. To be fair, a Kitten's Joy foal [Hip 468] made half a million at the November Sale the other day. And I suspect that possible changes being proposed in California, and maybe a resurgence of Tapeta, will maybe create As it is, the Redvers posse were able to secure another good a bit of a bounce in the value of those [turf] horses. prospect by Kitten's Joy at the Arqana Breeze-Up Sale in May, "But I'll be delighted if they keep shunning them, because it paying i130,000 for a filly imported through Gaybrook Lodge gives us an opportunity.

So surface at Dundalk. one imagines that as there are more opportunities for turf Redvers accepts that one of the reasons that Kitten's Joy has horses, including on man-made surfaces, no doubt demand will never quite punched his weight at the sales--to the extent that increase." Ken Ramsey threatened to stand him in Europe before instead doing a deal with the reliably imaginative John Sikura, whose Hill 'n' Dale regime could yet boost the horse's commercial profile-- is that some of his yearlings lack physical glamour. They say the same about Lookin At Lucky, another reliable purveyor of top-class racehorses. (And he pays a far stiffer price than Kitten's Joy, in terms of his fee, for not always producing "show ponies.") But handsome is as handsome does. And you couldn't put a high enough value on the common denominator Redvers detects in the best runners by Kitten's Joy. Cont. p6

Kitten=s Joy cont. "They seem to have a will to win," he said. "That absolutely seems a common theme between the good ones, that they're competitive by nature and they're tough. Roaring Lion himself was very tough and also had a sensational turn of foot. That can be said for Kameko, as well: when he quickened clear at Newcastle, he put some very good Ballydoyle horses to the sword very quickly. You'd say those are two pretty necessary components in a racehorse, especially on turf. They're not grinders, like you need on dirt."

Roaring Lion | The Jockey Club

Though I feel the industry is generally far too prescriptive about the surface predilections of different stallions, there's no mistaking the fact that Kitten's Joy views the green, green grass as home (if also its kin, synthetics). Admittedly the late Giant's Causeway, thanks to Bricks and Mortar, is about to end a six-year streak for Kitten's Joy as North America's champion turf sire. But he is booked for second and his overall resumé remains that of a historic conduit of one of the most potent bloodlines in the story of the breed.

SMULLEN: DONNACHA WAS GLEN HILL BUILDING ON EUROPEAN PROGRAMME By Kelsey Riley ONLY GETTING BETTER The Bernick family=s Glen Hill Farm has kept an intercontinental revolving-door policy when it comes to its breeding and racing stock. The Ocala, Florida-based nursery has been known to purchase privately high-quality fillies from Europe and race them in America before sometimes sending them back across the pond for their second careers. Last year, Glen Hill went to $1.4-million at Fasig-Tipton November to secure one of the sale=s more coveted lots, Alpha Centauri (Ire) (Mastercraftsman {Ire})=s half-sister Galileo Gal (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}), and she is now a member of the farm=s five-strong broodmare band based at Norelands Stud in Ireland. Glen Hill, which enjoyed a pair of wins at Naas and Cork in the spring with the Fozzy Stack-trained Woody Creek (GB) (Zoffany {Ire}), will explore new avenues in 2020 when keeping a pair of mares in France for the first time.

Donnacha O=Brien | Racing Post IN TDN AMERICA TODAY The announcement of Donnacha O'Brien's retirement from the EUROS FINDING VALUE WITH KITTEN’S JOY TOO saddle didn't come as a huge surprise but I am nevertheless Chris McGrath talks to David Redvers about his success with sorry to see him step down. I think we all understand the offspring by Kitten’s Joy, including recent G1 Vertem Futurity S. difficulty he has in keeping his weight down but I'm not sure that hero Kameko. Click or tap here to go straight to TDN America. everyone quite appreciates the effort and the commitment that went into him doing that. It was really tough for him to be able to continue for this last year. Full marks to Donnacha to have got through the whole season riding as well as he did, to win the jockeys' championship for a second time and to ride the amount of Group 1 winners that he did. He has very much gone out on a high. There's no question that knowing that you are riding good horses is a huge incentive and it keeps you going on the days that you are wondering if it's worth it or not. To have access to top-class horses is a huge help, but that said, no-one should underestimate the effort that other riders make as well on a daily basis just to make a living. Even from a really young age, Donnacha was always an aggressive rider. He probably had a little bit more flamboyance than his brother Joseph, a little bit of an edge to him that made you realise how determined he was and that he was going to succeed right from the early days. What makes it disappointing for him to be retiring now is that he was a rider who improved with every year. Cont. p2 TDN EUROPE • PAGE 2 OF 14 • THETDN.COM WEDNESDAY • 27 NOVEMBER 2019

there already to get more opportunities than they have had in the past. Aidan O'Brien doesn't look past his own stable and his own riders but obviously Donnacha and Ryan Moore have ridden the bulk of the horses. The stable stalwart Seamie Heffernan is still there and more opportunities will come along Nine-time Irish champion jockey Pat Smullen has joined the for him, but I think Wayne Lordan could be the main winner TDN team as our new weekly columnist to bring us invaluable from Donnacha's retirement, and rightly so. We've seen over insight on the racing and breeding scene as he continues his the last number of months that Wayne has been riding so well recovery from illness. internationally, and his ride on Iridessa (Ire) in the Breeders' Cup was of the highest quality. I think he'll just step into that position Cont. From p1 along with Seamus. Obviously there's also Padraig Beggy, and He makes a joke of it himself, that as an apprentice he he's won the Irish Derby and an Epsom Derby in the past few probably wasn't as natural as Joseph looked from day one, but seasons so he will also probably have more rides. But Donnacha got better with every season that went by and I think Donnacha's stepping down from the saddle will certainly open he was riding at the peak of his up the opportunities for other powers this past season. The riders in Ireland. Joseph will be amazing thing is that Donnacha looking for another jockey as has achieved all that he has in Donnacha was almost riding such a short period of time.

The other side of Crosse, who has had a good that is that it's very sad that a season as apprentice to Joseph, jockey of his calibre and ability could well benefit from that, and has to retire from race-riding at Declan McDonogh has been that age. Okay, Donnacha knew riding for Joseph quite a bit over that his career as a jockey was the last season. So the majority never going to last long, but it of the business of that one again raises the issue that the person who was champion jockey riding weights must be and riding so many winners may reviewed. Though Donnacha Aidan & Donnacha O=Brien | Racingfotos now well feed three or four would probably be the first to different jockeys. I'm sure the admit that they would never really be raised enough for it to be weigh-room will be a little bit relieved that Donncha has gone as feasible for him to continue long term, it highlights the need for it does open up the situation! the weights to be tweaked. We shouldn't be losing quality riders Aidan now goes from the situation of having Donnacha as one of at such a young age. It's not good for racing. In my opinion his main allies to one of his main rivals. I'm sure it strikes fear there's no vacancy now at Ballydoyle. What I think will happen, into a lot of trainers in Ireland that another O'Brien is joining the and what I would like to see happen, is for the riders who are training ranks, but their success is not by chance.

The pure dedication to the job and the attention to detail from Glenn Hill Building on European Programme cont. From p1 both Aidan and Annemarie is extraordinary. Donnacha will do as Glen Hill Farm President and Chief Executive Officer Craig Joseph has done and will bring all those traits he has seen all this Bernick, who will visit Deauville for the first time next week for life to his new business.

Intimately involved in Coolmore=s purchase of the original KEN BARRY PASSES AWAY Arrowfield property--and of Danehill himself--Ken was then asked by John Magnier to stay on as Chairman of the newly-established Coolmore Australia, a position he has held to the end. It was a position from which he influenced and mentored so many who play ongoing roles in development of the Australian and Hunter Valley thoroughbred, amongst them Michael Kirwan and Duncan Grimley, Peter O=Brien, James Bester and, of course, myself. The Australian breeding industry in general and the Hunter Valley thoroughbred in particular have much for which to thank Ken--not least, lest we forget, his opposition to the perennially-proposed Drayton South mine, against which Ken campaigned and spoke in person at all hearings devoted to resolution of that issue. It is fitting, therefore, that at the Hunter Valley Breeders= Ken Barry (right), James Bester (left) & Tom Magnier | CoolmoreAus Association awards night before the 2018 Scone Cup, Ken, with by TDN AusNZ his family in attendance, was honoured with that body=s highest Tom Magnier, on behalf of Coolmore Australia, announced the accolade, the President=s Award - for his extraordinary sad passing of Chairman Ken Barry with the following statement: contribution to the breeding industry in general and Hunter "On behalf of both our immediate Magnier family in particular Valley in particular. and our extended Coolmore family in general, we offer our We at Coolmore can never repay the huge debt of gratitude sincerest condolences to Ken=s wife Lynne and the rest of the we owe Ken for his work and wisdom, his advice and friendship Barry family.
