CALIFORNIA CHROME STUD FEE SET HIGH DEMAND AT by Alan Carasso KEENELAND NOVEMBER California Chrome (Lucky Pulpit-- the Chase, by Not For Love), the dual Classic and G1 Dubai World Cup winner who took his earnings past the $14-million mark with his game runner-up effort in the GI Breeders= Cup Classic Nov. 5, will stand his first year at Taylor Made Stallions for a fee of $40,000, the farm=s Duncan Taylor confirmed Tuesday. AWe gave some thought to standing him for a bit more, but in the end, it important to us that we give breeders a chance to make money with him and we are confident that he is priced the right way to do that,@ Taylor explained.

Bred by Newsells Park and campaigned in partnership with Qatar Racing, the Ralph Beckett trainee took the 2015 G2 Middleton S. following four Group 1 placings that included a second in the 2013 G1 Investec Oaks.

Moyglare Drawn to Celestine=s Speed The Haefner family=s Moyglare Stud was in search of some speed to add to its broodmare band, and found just what it was looking for Tuesday in the form of Celestine (Scat Daddy) (hip 144), the dominant winner of June=s GI Just a Game S. at Belmont. Consigned by Taylor Made Sales Agency, Agent CLXXXIV, the 4-year-old cost $2.55 million. AShe=ll go back into training,@ revealed Fiona Craig, representative for the historic Irish-based operation. AShe=ll probably go down to Payson Park this week and join Christophe Clement. We=ll see if we can win a race or two next year.@ As for what about Celestine caught her eye, Craig said, AI loved the speed. She=s a smashing-looking filly with great speed. We=ve been trying to establish some fast mares. We have some great broodmares in Ireland, but fast, world-record speed is not something we=re famous for. We=re famous for older, late-maturing [horses], but we thought we=d add in a bit of speed and she=s a lovely racemare. Obviously, it=s hard when something=s already won a Grade I, but she=ll be in good hands.@ Moyglare=s acquisition of Celestine is notably reminiscent of its $2.4- million purchase of GISW Discreet Marq (Discreet Cat) at Fasig-Tipton Fiona Craig | Keeneland November two years ago. Already conditioned by Clement for breeder Patricia Generazio, the grey added the GIII Beaugay S. and finished third behind champion Tepin (Bernstein) in the Just a Game for Moyglare last term. Celestine, a $100,000 KEESEP yearling pick-up by Jim and Ramona Bryan=s Phaedrus Flights LLC, was a $975,000 RNA at the 2014 OBS June sale. Most recently trained by Hall of Famer Bill Mott, she annexed the GII Honey Fox S. at Gulfstream in April before a break-out score in the Just a Game for which she earned a 107 Beyer Speed Figure. Third in Keeneland=s GI First Lady S. behind $3-million KEENOV >15 grad Photo Call (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) and Tepin Oct. 8, she was most recently 12th cutting back in a salty running of the GI Breeders= Cup Turf Sprint last Saturday. AWe=re very excited, and we=re glad to see where she ended up,@ said John Dowd, racing manager for the Bryans. AThey=re great people, and we know that she=ll have a great racing career and broodmare life. We=re very happy with the price.@ TDN HEADLINE NEWS • PAGE 6 OF 25 • THETDN.COM WEDNESDAY • NOVEMBER 9, 2016

Regarding the decision to sell Celestine, Dowd said, AIt=s hard [to part with one like that], because they=re very hard to replace. Good horses like that don=t come along that often, but we=ll have to go out and find some more.@ Dowd said that Celestine would likely have been offered at this sale regardless of where she finished at the Breeders= Cup. While he declined to reveal more about the owners, citing their desire for privacy, he noted that they have only been involved in racing for about the last three years and do not own any broodmares. Among their other standout runners was 2015 GII Davona Dale S. heroine Ekati=s Phaeton (Tale of Ekati). -@BDiDonatoTDN

This is a really pretty mare, young, from a great Phipps family and in foal to the best racehorse we've seen in my lifetime in American Pharaoh. She can run, she made $114,000. She had the unfortunate occurrence of a foal who died, but got right back in foal so that can't be much of a deterrence.

In fact, Pimlico--despite racing 18% fewer races in 2016 compared to 2008--saw meet handle rise 23% on the strength of Preakness day. For big events, and big signals, there's a lot to crow about. Across the country to the left coast, however, the very important California flagship continues to be a drag on the numbers. In 2008, Santa Anita, Del Mar, Hollywood Park and Golden Gate Fields brought in $2.27B in handle. In 2016, the same tracks (minus Hollywood Park, adding Los Al Thoroughbred) generated about $1.86B, an 18% reduction. If this jurisdiction can find a way forward, racing would be much stronger. Researching the numbers for this article I found it obvious that the sport is not as well off as it was eight years ago. On no planet could less handle, fewer races and fewer horses ever be considered successful. But the more I read--the more numbers I tabulated and thought about--I began to be encouraged. For years racing has called for contraction. Right under our noses, that's exactly what's happened. The results of this shift are a work in progress.

MINDING CROWNED OP/ED: HOW DID FRANKEL FARE WITH HIS FIRST RUNNERS? HORSE OF THE YEAR By Kevin Blake It could readily be argued that Frankel (GB) (Galileo {Ire}) has been the most important horse in the modern history of British Flat racing. Not only did his phenomenal achievements on the track attract untold numbers of eyes to the sport for all the right reasons, he effectively launched British Champions Day on the road to success by himself, by starring in the first two years of that meeting. Remarkably, he is now doing much the same job for the thoroughbred breeding industry. Never before has there been such expectation and excitement surrounding a sire's first runners on the track as there has been this year with Frankel's offspring. His progeny were scrutinised to an unprecedented extent, with every runner that represented him generating headlines regardless of whether they won or lost. Cont. p4 Cartier Horse of the Year Minding | racingfotos.com

Trained by Aidan O=Brien for a Coolmore partnership, Minding was last year=s Cartier 2-year-old filly champion on the merit of wins in the G1 Moyglare Stud S. and G1 Dubai Fillies= Mile. She opened her season with a victory in the G1 Qipco 1000 Guineas. She missed winning the Irish equivalent by a head before embarking on a three-race Group 1 win streak in the Investec Oaks, S. and G1 Qatar Nassau S. Third in the G1 Qipco Irish Champion S. Sept. 10, she bounced back to win the QEII Oct. 15. Minding beat out Almanzor (Fr) (Wootton Bassett {GB}), Found (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}), Postponed (Ire) ( {Ire}) and Highland Reel (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) in the Horse of the Year category, and stablemate Alice Springs (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}), as well as Quiet Reflection (GB) (Showcasing {GB}) and La Cressonniere (Fr) (Le Havre {Ire}), for 3-year-old filly honours. Minding was the headline act on a night that saw the Coolmore partners Sue Magnier, Derrick Smith and Michael Tabor set a Cartier awards record as the owners of five of the eight equine award winners.

O=Brien has enjoyed another vintage season in 2016, training the winners of 22 Grade/Group 1 races including an unprecedented 1-2-3 in the Prix de l=Arc de Triomphe with progeny of Galileo. While he still likely has many successful years ahead of him, O=Brien=s legacy will also be carried on by his children. Joseph, also a champion and Classic-winning jockey, got off to a remarkable start in his first year of training in 2016, highlighted by a win with Intricately (Ire) (Fastnet Rock {Aus}) in the G1 Moyglare Stud S. at the age of 23. In the saddle that day was his 18-year-old brother Donnacha, Ireland=s champion apprentice jockey. Daughters Ana and Sarah are also successful jockeys. Part of O=Brien=s legacy will also be his great character. Magnier noted, "Dealing with him at Ballydoyle, you notice how he keeps everything simple. He has the most logical of minds and has never become swollen-headed. He takes just the same size in hats as when he first walked in the door." Click here for a recent TDN Podcast with Aidan O=Brien. With a nomination fee of ,125,000, Frankel was only accessible to a select few breeders, yet he still produced more live foals than all bar three of the other 18 first-season sires of note. Even more significantly, the quality of mares that produced Frankel's foals were on a completely different level to what his rival sires mated with. Cont. p4 How Did Frankel Fare With His First Runners? cont. from p1 With so many of his runners being out of well-known racemares or broodmares, he has stoked the levels of interest in the bloodstock side of the sport amongst casual racing fans to all-new levels. With the turf seasons in Great Britain and Ireland now behind us, perhaps now is a fair time to step back, cut through the hyperbole and assess just how well Frankel's first runners have fared. However, finding a fair way to assess their performance presents a challenge in itself. While there were 18 other sires based in Great Britain and Ireland that had 50 or more live foals in their first crops in 2014, it would simply be unfair to compare the performance of their progeny to that of Frankel's on a like-for-like basis. Frankel | Juddmonte/Asuncion Pineyrua TDN EUROPE/INTERNATIONAL • PAGE 5 OF 12 • THETDN.COM WEDNESDAY • 9 NOVEMBER, 2016

Frankel cont. Thus, perhaps it is only fair to assess Frankel out on his own and use a combination of the best individual figures as well as the average figures achieved in each category by the remaining 18 first-season sires of note to give some context as to what he has achieved relative to the rest. Of course, everyone will have their favoured means by which to judge a sire's performance. Number of winners, number of stakes performers and prize money won are all popular means of measurement, but for me, assessment of the ratings achieved by their progeny is the soundest way to assess a sire. In this case, I have used Racing Post Ratings and while I usually use 90+ and 105+ to assess a sire's progeny, given that in this case it is only 2-year-olds being dealt with, I have reduced these parameters to 85+ and 100+. All of the statistics are correct for races that took place in Europe up to the end of October.

Frankel cont. One must also consider that over 70 of his first foals have yet to appear on the track. These include bluebloods such as colts out of Dar Re Mi (GB), Zagora (Fr) and Queen's Logic (Ire) and fillies out of Finsceal Beo (Ire), Midday (GB), Alexander Goldrun (Ire), Danedream (Ger) and Dancing Rain (Ire) to name just a few. However, it must also be remembered that Frankel proved to be a serious challenge for Sir Henry Cecil as a 3-year-old. He was a free-goer as a juvenile, but he all but bolted in the G1 2000 Guineas and put in another upside-down performance in the G1 St James's Palace S. that almost saw him beaten by a much inferior rival. It took one of the finest training performances of recent decades from Sir Henry Cecil to control Frankel's innate exuberance and send him back in the right direction after those performances. With many of Frankel's progeny showing the same free-going nature in their races that Frankel himself did, it will be intriguing to see how they progress from two to three and how their various trainers deal with the challenges that they present. While the early signs have been very promising indeed, a much fuller picture will be revealed on the racetracks of Europe in 2017. Next week, detailed analysis of how each of the other 18 first-season sires of note fared with their first runners in 2016 will be revealed and the results are likely to intrigue and surprise Tally-Ho introduces two new stallions for 2017.
