RACING CLUBS GATHERING STEAM NOW AT THE TOP, by Melissa Bauer-Herzog BRAD COX WANTS MORE When Canterbury Park started its racing club in 2009, its goal was just to educate racing fans in Minnesota about ownership. But in the near decade since it was formed, the club has proven to be an industry-changing idea with racetracks across the country following its model. “It never crossed my mind that other racetracks would be paying attention to what we were up to in Shakopee, Minnesota,” said Jeff Maday, Canterbury Park's media relations manager. “It is very gratifying to see what has happened with racing clubs at other tracks. So many have taken the idea in their own direction, adding unique variations, and have had tremendous success. We have many dedicated people in this industry that want racing to succeed and want to expose fans to ownership.” Click above to watch video of Brad Cox speaking about the Cont. p5 (click here) progression of his career to date IN TDN EUROPE TODAY by Bill Finley He’s developing a likely champion in Monomoy Girl (Tapizar), SIYOUNI STARS AS ARQANA AUGUST ENDS is third in the nation in wins and sixth in earnings and won this Siyouni (Fr) sired the €380,000 yearling topper on the final day year’s training title at the Fair Grounds and finished second at of the Arqana August Sale in Deauville. Click or tap here to . But Brad Cox isn’t satisfied. There’s driven and then go straight to TDN Europe. there’s Cox. He’s obsessive, obsessive to the point where satisfaction is a foreign concept. “I’m not content,” the trainer said. “I’m not content at all. I am happy with what we have accomplished as a team, but by no means am I content.” If he would take a deep breath, step back and relax for moment--he won’t--Cox might just realize how that statement is almost laughable. Just 38 and not far removed from being a claiming trainer who was down to three horses in 2012, his accomplishments over the last few years are remarkable. More than 650 winners since 2016, training titles at Ellis, Churchill and the Fair Grounds and, this year, four Grade I wins with Monomoy Girl. He now has over 100 horses and has recently attracted owners like Juddmonte Farm, Calumet, Don Alberto and, of course, Sol Kumin, the principal owner of Monomoy Girl. But he is not the No. 1 trainer in the sport. Nor No. 2 or 3, and that eats at him. He says he will do whatever it takes to get there and says it with such conviction that it is hard to imagine him not reaching his goals.

Racing Clubs Gathering Steam cont. from p1 Racing clubs across the country have seen a good response from both fans and horsemen with spots filling quickly. Accepting their first 200 members in 2016, Churchill Downs sold out their first club within 24 hours with a second club that year selling out within four days. With Hall of Famer D. Wayne Lukas training the horses, new owners in the first club were allowed near instant success when club horse Warrior's Club (Warrior’s Reward) won the Spendthrift Stallion S. at Churchill Down in October of his 2-year-old year. Since then, the colt has gone on to win a graded stakes and help Churchill fill new clubs. “Warrior's Club has been just a crazy unbelievable story, and that has allowed us to have seven or eight more horses and seven or eight more clubs since then,” said Gary Palmisano, Manager of the Churchill Downs Racing Club. “It's really snowballed, we now have people telling friends and co-workers and family members, so they're getting into the subsequent clubs because of the foundation that Warrior's Club laid.” For New York Thoroughbred Horseman's Association board member Robert Masiello, racing clubs allow fans to get involved in ownership without immediately having the high costs associated with a racehorse. This is one of the major reasons NYTHA is launching a racing club later this year.

people engaged in the sport so I think a racing club is good, happy medium for doing that without being too overly expensive.” Many clubs allow members to be privy to all the bills paid on their horses so they know the costs associated with owning a horse. While owners in the Emerald Downs Racing Club only pay $500 up front and never see another bill, the club's racing manager Vince Bruun makes sure they know exactly how much is spent on their horse every month. “I certainly make them aware of the bills they would see,” Bruun said. “I get billed at the end of the month and I will pass on an itemized list. For [trainer Larry Ross] it's $62 a day for training, but then if a horse needs new shoes or needs its teeth done or goes in a race, there’s another fee. So [members] can go in with their eyes open if they do become owners. They're Warrior’s Club | Coady photo prepared for what it involves.” Most of the clubs who have been running for a few years have “Even the lower end syndicates claiming a horse is expensive,” seen their members buying into syndicate horses or even Masiello said. “If you have a horse in training, you're probably partner with each other. Palmisano says that over 50 members paying a $110 day rate, plus vet bills you might be in for $4,000 from the Churchill Downs and Fair Grounds Racing Clubs have per month per horse. There needed to be that step in between bought their own horses, which was a major goal for the tracks not owning a horse and even doing a syndicate where it's still when they started the clubs. thousands of dollars in upkeep.

there,” said Diantha Brazzell, Lone Star Park Racing Club's Manager. “Though we never thought that we were going to be able to donate over $7,000 to them at the time. When we were putting the club together we thought we would be lucky just to break even. It turned out to be a great bonus for us that we are getting to make such a sizable donation to a terrific charity that supports the human athletes of our sport.” While Jeff Maday never imagined the Canterbury Racing Club would be industry changing, he is excited by how the idea has grown. “In the end, the goal is to get more owners into the sport and that will benefit everyone.”

Souvenir Delondres is also now in the Stratford Place Stud SIYOUNI STARS AS broodmare band and has a Muhaarar (GB) yearling filly which has been retained to race, as well as a colt foal by Frankel (GB). ARQANA AUGUST CLOSES Another graduate of the farm to have been making headlines this year is leading first-season sire Bungle Inthejungle (GB), a dual Group 3 winner for Wright and Emily Asprey before retiring to Rathasker Stud. Wright added, "I'm thrilled to see how well 'Bungle' is doing and it's great for the stud as he's out of a daughter of our foundation mare [Crime Of Passion]. I have a 2-year-old by him in training in France, Jungle Speed (Fr). He's been second twice and we feel he's a black-type horse."

Not Quite Deja Vu... There was a slightly odd sense at Arqana over the last three days of everything remaining virtually the same but feeling decidedly different. Anecdotally, a number of vendors felt the sale was a struggle in parts, but the figures were pretty close to Lot 293 | Zuzanna Lupa being a mirror image of those posted 12 months earlier.

The son of Siyouni (Fr) was one of three yearlings by the same sire in the top five lots of the day. Consigned by Hubert HonorJ for breeder Chris Wright of British-based Stratford Place Stud, lot 293 is a son of the Almutawakel mare Dilag (Ire), a half-sister to GII Schuylerville S. winner Distinct Habit (Distinctive Pro) and the producer thus far of six winners from her eight foals of racing age. While Stroud opined that the colt by the popular Aga Khan Studs resident was of a quality to compare most favourably to yearlings on offer during Part 1 of the sale, Wright, who had flown in for the day, was delighted to have had an obvious standout during Monday's session. "He's a nice horse by a very good stallion who is a full-brother to a very fast horse. It's hard to know if he's have sold for more over the weekend but I'm very happy with this result. Hubert has done a fantastic job with him," said Wright. The breeder divulged that Dilag has visited another young Aga Khan stallion, Dariyan (Fr), by whom she has a foal on the ground, and she is now in foal to Kodiac (GB).

Pedigree Insights Cont. Fortunately that wasn't the end of the Devins' successful association with Kaldounevees's progeny.

Six of them were fillies, the only male being Kachgai, a talented and versatile performer who won in France and the UAE. Terre A Terre's sister Terra Alta showed only a little ability in two starts but she has made ample amends by producing Nonza as her second foal. With a May birthday, Nonza has been given plenty of time by her connections. Unraced at two, she made a winning debut at Chateaubriant.

The Oaks Stud's Darci Brahma (NZ) (ex Grand Echezeaux {NZ}, DANEHILL LINE ALIVE by Zabeel {NZ}) finished 21st on the sires' table in 2016-2017, but was all the way up into fourth in the most recent standings AND WELL IN HK owing to the sensational year put together by Mr Stunning's then-stable companion D B Pin (NZ). Runner-up in the Hong Kong Sprint by a narrow margin and at rough odds, he turned the tables for a maiden Group 1 tally in the Centenary Sprint Cup the following month. Size had D B Pin penciled in for a start on the dirt in the G1 Dubai Golden Shaheen in March, but was forced to pull the 'pin' on those plans. Even without Mr Stunning in the yard, Size figures to have a big year with sprinters like D B Pin and a gaggle of others. More about the upcoming season in a future column.

Fastnet at the Top... Mr Stunning & D B Pin | Hong Kong Jockey Club Coolmore and Arrowfield teamed to bring Danehill to Australia, where he led the stallion ranks on eight occasions.

Lomond) ended the 2017-2018 racing season as the leading Hong Kong stallion by earnings and was one of four sires to be represented by 10 or more winners. Flying the flag for Exceed and Excel was the outstanding Mr Stunning (Aus), the A$110,000 topper at Inglis's Great Southern Sale in 2013 who was purchased to race in Hong Kong after hammering for NZ$250,000 at the 2014 NZB Premier Yearling Sale.

Pingwu Spark | Hong Kong Jockey Club Two-time leading sire Holy Roman Emperor (Ire) (ex L'On Vite, by Secretariat) has tailed off some over the last few years with the retirement of the likes of former Horse of the Year Designs On Rome (Ire) and Rich Tapestry (Ire), but Beauty Only (Ire) remained a solid runner during the first half of his 7-year-old season and appears to have lost little of his zest for racing.

Grandsons Stepping Up... Danehill's paternal grandsons Mastercraftsman (Ire) (Danehill Dancer {Ire}) and Not a Single Doubt (Aus) (Redoute's Choice {Aus}) filled eighth and ninth spots, respectively. The former is the sire of the hulking fan favourite Pingwu Spark (NZ), who won four times in Class 2, was runner-up in Class 1 and was third in the G2 Chairman's Trophy. NASD's son Southern Legend defeated Pingwu Spark in the aforementioned Class 1 and added a third to HOTY Beauty Generation (NZ) (Road to Rock {Aus}) in the G1 Champions Mile ahead of a front-running success in the Kranji Mile in May. The late Hinchinbrook (Aus) (Fastnet Rock) was represented in 2017-18 by the Size-trained Beat the Clock (Aus) and that galloper could be a force to be reckoned with yet again in the upcoming season.
