Sean Cronin Tom Frary Coverage begins ATW page 1 P TDN HEADLINE NEWS • 11/15/12 • PAGE 3 of 14 • thoroughbreddailynews.com 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.

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.

That=s BREEDERS= CUP CLASSIC 36 why the eight-year-old mare Veracity (Distorted Humor), in foal to Justify, figures to bring a healthy sum at the Fasig-Tipton November Night of the Stars Nov. 5. The risk is minimal and the rewards are all but guaranteed. Veracity has had two foals that have been put up for auction, both fillies by Medaglia d=Oro. This year, her yearling sold for $900,000 at the Saratoga Sale and was purchased by Claiborne Farm. In 2018, Lael Stable spent $1 million on her first yearling, also purchased at Saratoga. AHer family is very active now,@ said consignor Shack Parrish, the president of Indian Creek. AFor her first two foals to sell for what they did speaks volumes.

    COMPILED SPECIFICALLY FOR Frankel (GB) STALLION AFFINITY REPORT A comprehensive stallion analysis with all active broodmare sires Copyright © 2020 The Jockey Club Information Systems, Inc. STALLION AFFINITY REPORT TrueNicks: An Explanation Nicks in History Compatibilities between stallions from one sire line with mares of another sire line has helped shape the breed since the Eclipse/Herod cross of the late 18th century. These successful crosses, called nicks, have impacted Thoroughbred development through such examples as Hermit/Stockwell, Lexington/Glencoe, Bend Or/Macaroni, and Phalaris/Chaucer. In the modern era, the prolific Mr. Prospector/Northern Dancer cross has produced outstanding racehorses and sires such as Kingmambo, Distorted Humor, and Elusive Quality. Fast-Forward to the 21st Century Computer databases have made it possible to measure and rate nicks, giving rise to a commercial market for such statistics. The first nick ratings offered to the public, though popular, were compromised by incomplete data and yielded results based on hypothetical rather than actual opportunity. This statistical gap was the impetus behind the development of TrueNicks. A Statistically Valid Approach Unlike other ratings that are calculated based on hypothetical opportunity within a limited group of horses, TrueNicks references the international database of The Jockey Club—the world’s most complete record of Thoroughbreds and their performance—to produce a sophisticated rating based on all starters and stakes winners on a given cross. The Statistics The TrueNicks rating is derived from two statistical elements: the Sire Improvement Index (SII) and the Broodmare Sire Improvement Index (BSII). Each figure compares the percentage of progeny stakes winners to starters.
