three seasons would be enough for him to be crowned HISTORIC SIRE SWEEP Champion in any other era. History will reflect well on these two stallions, and their legacy will be assisted by the quantity and IN AUSTRALIA quality of mares they have been able to serve. The past decade has been a particularly prosperous one for the Australian thoroughbred industry, with an explosion in prizemoney leading to a surge in yearling prices, and a considerable investment globally. That success was sewn in the previous era of investment, with the shuttling of capital to Australia through the likes of Coolmore and Godolphin/Darley, as well as the global vision of local powerhouses like Arrowfield, just as important as the shuttling of stallions. That global trend flows on through the likes of Yulong, Aquis, Spendthrift and Sun Stud. Of course, both Snitzel and I Am Invincible owe their existence to a previous generation of shuttle stallions, with Snitzel a grandson of Danehill and I Am Invincible by Invincible Spirit (Ire). Australia's champion first-season sire, Pride Of Dubai, is a son of Snitzel | Joan Faras By Bren O'Brien Street Cry, while the leading second-season sire, Rubick, is a The Australian-bred sweep of the Top 10 on the Australian grandson of Fairy King (USA).

Since Danehill's (USA) final Australian sires title in Pierro is an interesting example, as he represents a dominant 2004/05, 14 of the past 15 Champion Sires have been Australasian sireline which stretches back to Sir Tristram (Ire) Australian-bred. but he is also out of an imported mare, Miss Right Note (Ire) The exception is the Darley shuttle stallion Street Cry (Ire), (Daylami {Ire}). who on the back of his superstar daughter mare Winx, was able to claim the 2015/16 title. In fact for the past six seasons, Street Cry is one of only two internationally-bred stallions to feature inside the Top 10 on the Sires table, having done so on five occasions. The other one is High Chaparral (Ire), who finished seventh, fourth and eighth in three consecutive seasons: 2016/17, 2017/18 and 2018/19. The 2013/14 season was the last time Australian stallions came close to a Top 10 sweep, with Waikato Stud's O'Reilly (NZ), finishing ninth. The merit of Snitzel's fourth Australian title, a feat which even outshines his own remarkable sire Redoute's Choice, is more significant in the context of an era of competition from shuttle stallions as well as the depth of the locally-bred stallion offering. His success has come in the face of substantial competition from Yarraman Park's I Am Invincible, whose record over the past Pierro | Coolmore Australia TDN AUSTRALIA/NEW ZEALAND • PAGE 2 OF 2 • THETDN.COM WEDNESDAY • 5 AUGUST 2020

Statistics from Racing Australia tell us that over the five years between 2013/14, between five and 6% of stallions in Australia were considered shuttle stallions. They were responsible for around 18.7% of covers of mares in Australia. With that numerical disadvantage, added to the fact that due to commercial and other reasons, shuttle stallions often have shorter careers in Australia, hence fewer runners, it is difficult to assess the relative performance against Australian or New Zealand stallions based on total prizemoney alone. Measuring the performance of the Top 100 stallions based on percentage of winners to runners produces a very different looking table, with shuttle stallions occupying five of the top 10 spots, including the top two with Camelot (GB), who stood for one season in Australia, having 64.7% of winners to runners and Street Cry having 57%. Another way to cut the stats is by Danehill | Bronwen Healy average prizemoney per runner, which of those with more than His emergence as the next star of Australia's stallion ranks 50 runners, sees Declaration Of War (USA) top of the charts lends weight to the concept that the mixing of local and ($146,020), Street Cry fourth and Lope De Vega (Ire) sixth. imported bloodlines is key in achieving success.

Click or tap Thoroughbred racing, Jack Knowlton is more than ready for the here to go straight to TDN Europe. GI Runhappy Travers S. Saturday that will feature Sackatoga Stable's Tiz the Law (Constitution). Seventeen years after Sackatoga's GI Kentucky Derby and GI Preakness S. winner Funny Cide (Distorted Humor) was scratched from the Travers the day before the race, Knowlton is eager to watch one of the horses he co-owns compete in the marquee race in the city that has been his home since 1982. Tiz the Law, winner of the GI Belmont S. in June and the GI Curlin Florida Derby in March, will be a heavy favorite to add the Travers to his list of accomplishments. For Knowlton and a number of his Sackatoga partners, the Travers is more than just a Grade I race with a $1-million purse. It is personal. First run as the inaugural race on opening day at the newly constructed Saratoga Race Course in 1864, the Travers has become part of the local culture in the region surrounding America's oldest race track. The 2003 Travers looked to be a showdown between the Triple Crown rivals Funny Cide and Empire Maker. Funny Cide had edged Empire Maker (Unbridled) in the Derby. Five weeks later, after skipping the Preakness, Empire Maker won the Belmont, five lengths in front of third-place Funny Cide. Cont. p3 PUBLISHER & CEO Sue Morris Finley @suefinley [email protected]

While small stables do come up with a Grade I-level horse on occasion, Knowlton appreciates that having a second star is quite unusual. Like Funny Cide, who was from Distorted Humor=s first crop, Sackatoga took a chance on the initial crop of babies of Constitution (Tapit). The stable bought him as a yearling for $110,000, the most it had spent on a horse. He has won five of six starts, earned $1,480,300 and his breeding rights have been sold to Coolmore. AIt=s beyond what anybody could ever imagine, to have a horse like this, that has accomplished what he has already accomplished,@ Knowlton said. AYou=ve got three Grade I wins, you=ve got the Classic race. You=ve got the Florida Derby that is probably considered the most important Kentucky Derby prep. You've got the Champagne that is maybe even more prominent than the Breeders= Cup Juvenile in terms of 2-year-old races. What he has done is pretty incredible. To be along for a second ride after the first one is mind-boggling, quite honestly.@

Niko=s Dream | Sarah Andrew The situation is slightly different with Tiz the Law. Lew Titterton and Knowlton are the only Funny Cide partners in this ownership group. In 2006, Knowlton and fellow Saratoga Springs businessman Ed Mitzen formed Sackatoga Stable LLC with Knowlton as the operating manager. Typically, they have operated a four-horse stable with shares priced at $5,000. AOur goal, when we buy a horse, is to have it be a New York-bred that can run in the New York-bred stakes program,@ Knowlton said. AWhen we buy them, that=s the ceiling that we are looking at.

Cont. For Tiz the Law, Sackatoga Stable offered 26 shares at $7,500. Knowlton said that a total of 35 people have ownership stakes in the colt. About half of the owners are expected to be in Saratoga on Saturday. The COVID-19 restrictions in place at Saratoga Race Course allow a total of 12 licensed owners in a horse to be on the grounds for the race. The rest will of the group will be at a viewing party in the ballroom of a local hotel. Thanks to Tiz the Law's success, the stable has made some changes this year to the way it operates. On June 29, it went far beyond its usual level and spent $290,000 at the Fasig-Tipton Midlantic 2-year-old sale to purchase a daughter of Tonalist (Tapit) out of the Harlan's Holiday mare Holiday Apple. Knowlton chuckled at the suggestion that Tiz the Law paid for the filly that has been named Tapple Cider. "You would have to ask all the partners," he said. "Most of the partners are spending found money. There are a couple of people who aren't in Tiz that are in this one. For the most part they are Tiz parnters who have been rewarded. There were some people who were interested in having a little smaller group, so we put one together with 15 shares for this horse." Sackatoga has also picked up a pair of 2-year-olds by first-crop sire Laoban (Uncle Mo), who was represented by his second winner Aug. 2 at Saratoga. Knowlton said there here are 47 partners in the Laobans, which he said had a lot to do with Tiz people, many of whom may have had experience elsewhere and the Law. are looking for a different experience. All the publicity about Tiz "I've had to turn people quite a few people away," he said. "I and Barclay and Sackatoga has brought a lot of people out of the figure that the two percent with 47 is the most that I would ever woodwork and being interested in being part of it." go. There were a lot of people who seemed very interested. We Sackatoga completed its deal with Coolmore following Tiz the were able to keep the share price down to $6,000 and pay all Law's three-length victory in the GIII Holy Bull on Feb. 1 and the the expenses through the end of the year with that. That's Florida Derby. Knowlton said that there was plenty of interest pretty attractive for everybody who are in already and for new from breeders in Tiz the Law, whose only loss was a third by three-quarters of a length on a sloppy track at Churchill Downs in the GII Kentucky Jockey Club on Nov. 30. Knowlton gambled on Tiz the Law running well in the Holy Bull. "They wanted to buy him before that race, but I was in no rush to do anything," he said. "I just felt that after he had lost that race in Kentucky I told people to just draw a line through that. That was absolutely the right answer. You look at his next three races and every one of them has been a knockout." There were no breeding rights to sell with Funny Cide, who ran until he was seven and earned over $3.5 million. Knowlton said he knew what he wanted out of any agreement with a farm. "I drew two lines in the sand with everybody that I talked to: that you cannot buy any racing rights and he has to run through the 4-year-old year," Knowlton said. "If you look on social media there are a lot of people who don't believe that, but as long as Funny Cide in Saratoga paddock in 2003 | Horsephotos he is healthy and running well, that's the deal."

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR ARGENTINA, ALMOST 5 MONTHS WITHOUT RACING AND THAT IS NOT THE ONLY PROBLEM TO SOLVE From Jose Nelson Being almost five months without racing is a fact sufficiently relevant to explain the financial crisis faced by the Argentine racing community. However, that alone does not fully explain the risks that all stakeholders are facing in the months ahead. As we explained in the past in this newsletter, the purse structure of Argentine racing is substantially made by the contributions coming from proceeds from slots. At Palermo Racetrack, located in the city of Buenos Aires, the slots are part of the operation of the racetrack. At San Isidro and La Plata, however, the slots are located in "bingo halls" located around the province of Buenos Aires and the two racetracks get a slice of them.

Prices at the auctions are showing that the expectations of sellers and buyers is that 2020 and probably 2021 will be years that will result in heavy losses that not all will be able to swallow. There has been no event in the past that has put Argentine racing in a similar situation. And unless positive news come soon there will be chances that the industry as a whole will have to make major and painful adjustments to survive and eventually be restarted under sound new rules. We all hope for the best, but challenges lie ahead. If we can swim these stormy waters Argentine racing may get back to its best traditions and make a future on its own.

EQUITANA USA 2020 EXHIBITION CANCELED Equitana USA has canceled its equestrian trade fair and expo, which had been scheduled for Sept. 25 through 27 at the Kentucky Horse Park, due to public safety concerns regarding the coronavirus pandemic. Organizers are already planning for the 2021 event, which is scheduled for Oct. 1-3 at the Horse Park. AEquitana USA is a shared place and time for all disciplines, breeds, ages and levels of the equine industry,@ said Meghan Margewicz, the event=s director. ABut the safety of everyone associated with the event is always our first priority. After many discussions with the Kentucky Horse Park, exhibitors, presenters and attendees, we made a difficult, but necessary decision to cancel this year=s celebration and work to create an amazing reunion for everyone in 2021.@ All Equitana USA 2020 ticket holders will be refunded electronically, with no further action by ticket holders required.
