Recently, Goncalo Torrealba, representing his family's Borges Torrealba Holdings, LLC, purchased over $8 million worth of mares at the Keeneland and Fasig-Tipton Sales. We sat down with Goncalo, a shareholder and board member of Grupo Libra, to hear about his family=s new investments in North America racing. TDN: Why did your family decide to make an investment in the U.S. Thoroughbred market at this time? GT: I was the first one in my family to get interested in horse racing. Over the years my family has also developed a taste for it. We believe in horse racing in America, we believe in the horsemanship in America, and we think that it is still the best place in the world to raise and race horses. The quality is second to none. Look at the sales. Everyone is complaining that the Japanese, the Europeans, and basically people from all over the world are coming here, buying the best mares and taking them elsewhere. If we didn't have the best mares, they wouldn't be coming. I think we should keep them, and we are doing our share trying to keep them here. TDN: Today we are reporting that you are partnering with Three Chimneys. How did this come about? GT: Robert [Clay] and I have been talking for several months about the current market cycle. We realized that we share a common vision. Not only have I known Robert for over 25 years, I have observed the development of Three Chimneys as a customer and as a friend. Our families share the same core values. As our family considered investment alternatives, it made sense to us to partner with a world-class brand. Together, we bought some very high-class mares at the Fasig-Tipton and Keeneland sales, and we plan to add to that inventory in years to come. We also plan to invest in top-class stallions. Cont. p4

I will operate Stud TNT in the same manner as before. My Southern Hemisphere operation GT: Our partnership does not affect them in any way. is a personal thing. It is mine only, and it is my hobby. Three Chimneys will simply be positioned as a strong This new venture is something completely different. It player for the future, which will include strong mare is two families making a lifelong commitment to the support for the stallions. I have been impressed by Case horse industry in America. and his young team. I expect them to bring some exciting opportunities to the table, and I look forward to benefitting from some of their long-standing relationships, loyal customers, and great strategic partners, like Everett Dobson. They have an exciting young stallion in Big Brown, and a solid group of proven young stallions, including Exchange Rate and Flower Alley.

TDN: There are many Thoroughbred operations in the U.S. Why specifically Three Chimneys?

GT: Partnering with Three Chimneys assures our family participation in American breeding and racing at the highest level. If it wasn't one of the prime operations in the world, we would not have considered it. We thought it was appropriate to join families. We are a family-owned and -run business, also. Robert and I find so many things in common, it is scary. The pursuit of excellence is something very important to us. We trust Flower Alley enjoying his exercise the Clay family, their business model, their vision, and Three Chimneys photos the way they run their business.

FIRST BLUSH There=s been a predictable and understandable backlash by a few of our Kentucky-based friends to the rash of articles, including mine, referring to the decline in Kentucky sire power relative to other major Northern Hemisphere stallion bases in Europe and Japan. Look, they say, Kentucky still has half of the Northern Hemisphere=s top sires; the North American yearling sales grossed over $300 million; and the November sales (see the accompanying Weekly Sales Ticker) have by now passed the $200-million mark. So it=s not as though North America has disappeared off the map. Fair enough, though 2013 will mark the fourth straight year (since Curlin and Big Brown retired for $75,000 and $65,000, respectively, in 2009) that no stallion in North America has retired for a fee higher than $35,000. Retirements in 2010 (foals of 2011, yearlings of 2012) marked what turned out to be the low ebb: Zensational (Unbridled=s Song) was the highest-priced retirement in 2010, at just $25,000. Of the sires to retire in North America in 2012 (covering sires at the November and December Mixed sales for the first time, first foals to arrive 2013), Uncle Mo (Indian Charlie) was the highest, at $35,000. Of the sires due to retire in 2013, the highest fee in North America will be Lane=s End=s Union Rags (Dixie Union) at $35,000. Next will be WinStar=s Bodemeister (Empire Maker) and Gainesway=s To Honor and Serve (Bernardini), at $30,000 each. So the Kentucky sire crop that retired in 2011, and which has its first weanlings selling in the soon-to-be- concluded Kentucky November sales, was the exception rather than the rule, in having four stallions that retired in 2011 at $30,000-$35,000 fees. None of them will be standing for $35,000 in 2013, of course; that=s the way of all things. But three of them stood for $35,000 in 2010: Claiborne=s Blame (Arch) will be $30,000 next year; Lane=s End=s Quality Road (Elusive Quality) and Ashford=s Lookin At Lucky (Smart Strike) will be $25,000. Taylor Made=s Eskendereya (Giant=s Causeway), who started out at $30,000, will be down to $17,500 for 2013. In the meantime, defenders of America can be relatively cheered up by the fact that, though Europe has had two six-figure stud fee stallions retire there in the four-year timespan 2010-2013--Sea The Stars at i85,000 in 2010 (first yearlings 2012 averaged the equivalent of $414,893; has his first 2-year-olds 2013), and Frankel at ^125,000 (right at $200,000) in 2013-- there have only been two other $30,000-plus retirements in Europe between 2010-2013, Tweenhills= Makfi (by Dubawi; ^25,000, first foals about to sell) and Newsells Park=s (Galileo), who will debut at ^20,000 in 2013.

There were a total of 234 offered and 163 sold among these 16 sires, which is 70% sold/ring.
