OBS JUNE SALE ENDS COMPETITIVE CAST ASSEMBLED FOR FOSTER by Brian DiDonato WITH A BANG A diverse group of 12 older males line up Saturday night for the GII Stephen Foster S. at Churchill Downs, which carries a “Win and You’re In” ticket to the GI Breeders’ Cup Classic. The race likely goes through Hronis Racing’s Gift Box (Twirling Candy), who invades from California off a trio of stellar outings since changing hands. Sold privately and transferred from Chad Brown to John Sadler off an 8 3/4-length Aqueduct optional claiming romp last March, he resurfaced to defeat the star- crossed Battle of Midway (Smart Strike) in the GII San Antonio S. at Santa Anita on the day after Christmas. He upended another formidable foe in MGISW McKinzie (Street Sense) to take the GI Santa Anita H. by a nose Apr. 6, but was upset himself by Vino Rosso (Curlin) in the GI Gold Cup at Santa Anita May 27. Despite the defeat, he earned a career-best 105 Beyer for that last effort--a repeat of that number seems very likely to get the job done here.

Year-Olds in Training concluded with a bang Friday in Ocala, as a filly by Into Mischief brought a sales record final bid of $900,000 from Larry Best’s OXO Equine. The juvenile was consigned by Top Line Sales on behalf of Carlo Vaccarezza. The price bettered the auction’s previous record of $800,000, which was set by a City Zip colt in 2016. “We are happy with the results of the sale, we set a record for the highest-priced horse and we increased our gross,” OBS Director of Sales Tod Wojciechowski said. “The June sale has evolved. This isn’t your father’s June sale. I think it bodes well for OBS as a whole and that consignors can have confidence that, no matter what sale they bring their horse to, they’ll have the opportunity to get what it’s worth.” Through three sessions, OBS sold 609 juveniles for a gross of $21,493,300. The average of $35,293 rose 8.6% from 2018 and the median was up 13.3% to $17,000. During the 2018 June sale, 530 head grossed $17,231,000 for an average of $32,511 and a median of $15,000.

OBSJUN cont. The performances of June graduates on the racetrack have encouraged buyers to shop the auction with confidence and successful transactions in the ring have emboldened consignors to target the sale with their late-developing juveniles, according to OBS President Tom Ventura. “We’ve had [GI Breeders’ Cup Dirt Mile winner] Goldencents and [Grade I winner] Celestine and Stormy Liberal, a two-time Breeders’ Cup winner, come out of the June sale, so the sale has made huge strides,” Ventura said. “People come here thinking they can find something of any quality. And now we’ve had a horse that sold for $900,000, who three months ago was in our sale and didn’t bring $400,000 in March, was bought back, and that horse blossomed and people were rewarded for it. I think we’ve gotten past that stigma a while ago of it being the last sale of the year. I think the consignors just put the horses where they are ready to go and sometimes it’s the second time through, but more often we are seeing the first-time horses going through the sale. I think that’s certainly the direction this sale has been going.” With 160 horses reported not sold, the cumulative buy-back rate was 20.8%. At the 2018 sale, the buy-back rate at close of business was 21.8% and that figure fell to 20.3% with the addition of post-sale transactions. “It was evident that there was a lot of activity for the moderately priced horses,” said Ventura. “In comparing the buy- back rate, right at this moment, it’s a little difficult, although we’re pretty much on par. As we keep adding post-sales, I think it will be very comparable to last year.” Ventura also saw the demand for horses right through to the end of the 1,059 catalogued head. “Just being out back in the last 25 or 30 hips, there were still people scrambling to buy horses,” Ventura said. “So it wasn’t like we were finishing in an empty building. So that was good to see.” Wavertree Stables was the auction’s leading consignor with 19 sold for $1,465,000 and OXO Equine, with its sole, sale- topping purchase, was the leading buyer. Bloodstock agent David Ingordo saw plenty of positive trends at the June sale and attributed some increased activity at the lower middle end of the market to the New York Racing Association’s recent unveiling of a series of races restricted to 2-year-olds purchased for $45,000 or less. “I like to buy a few for myself at a little bit of a cheaper level and take a shot,” Ingordo said. “I’ve found it hard for a decent lower-priced horse in the $50,000 to $100,000. They were hard to buy. With what Saratoga did with the $45,000 purchase price or under, there is a lot of activity here with people trying to buy those horses. So you see a lot of people stopping at $45,000. It’s competitive here for decent horses.” Cont. p4 TDN HEADLINE NEWS • PAGE 4 OF 13 • THETDN.COM SATURDAY • JUNE 15, 2019

OBSJUN cont. Ingordo also observed a difference in what buyers and sellers think of as “middle market horses.” “Something that should be said about the ‘middle market’-- there is a price that we want to buy horses at. It’s a value that you give them, but they still have to jump through the hoops. They have to vet cleanly and have a good physical. There are a lot of people who want to buy horses in what we call the middle OBS JUNE SALE – FRIDAY’S TOP LOTS market.

O=BRIEN LOOKING AHEAD TO ASCOT LAVERY=S INTUITION PAVES At odds-on to collect a fifth straight trainers= title at Royal WAY TO SUCCESS Ascot, it goes without saying that Aidan O=Brien is loaded for next week=s Royal meeting. Four days out from the start of the meeting, the master of Ballydoyle ran through some of his leading contenders on Friday starting with his chief hope in the curtain raiser, the G1 Queen Anne S., in last-out G1 Lockinge S. fifth Le Brivido (Fr) (Siyouni {Fr}). "Le Brivido ran a very good race in the Lockinge, Ryan [Moore] just said that he got caught up in traffic at a bad time when the race was just getting going," said O'Brien. "We felt he ran a very good race and we've been very happy with him since then. In an ideal world you'd just like nice ground for him--he's got a lovely action, so as long it's nice ground he'd be fine." Wednesday=s G1 Prince of Wales=s S. is shaping up as not only the race of the day but perhaps the meet, and O=Brien sends out Magical (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}), who is unbeaten in three starts this year including the G1 Tattersalls Gold Cup last out. "Magical has done everything right so far this season and has won three Sheila Lavery and Laid Back Luke | Emma Berry races--we're looking forward to running her," said O'Brien of the 4-year-old filly. Cont. p5 By Emma Berry This wasn't the feature we had planned when TDN visited Sheila Lavery's County Meath stable at the end of May. Naturally, the talk then was of Lady Kaya (Ire). Of her spirited runner-up finish in the 1000 Guineas at a distance just beyond her compass. Of her next task: a return to Britain for the most prestigious meeting of the year, Royal Ascot. Of the pride she brought to the trainer and her team who look after 36 horses--a mere ripple, really, in a pool in which rival trainers splash about with battalions numbering into the hundreds. All that changed on Tuesday. During Lady Kaya's final piece of work before her planned run in next week's Commonwealth Cup, a life which had already delivered so much on early Aidan and Joseph O=Brien | Racing Post promise was cruelly cut short when the filly fractured a hind leg and was unable to be saved. It is the fear in all our hearts. A dream died instantly, but for Lavery, in those moments as IN TDN AMERICA TODAY she watched jockey Robbie Colgan pull up Lady Kaya and realised something was terribly wrong, her mind, typically, was INTO MISCHIEF FILLY BREAKS OBSJUN RECORD far from big-race glory. Larry Best’s OXO Equine added another sale topper to its roster "I saw it happen on The Curragh and all my thoughts were of after bloodstock agent John Dowd went to a June record saving the horse. Royal Ascot didn't matter, it was just about $900,000 to acquire a filly by Into Mischief during Friday’s final session of the OBS June sale.

Lavery=s Intuition Paves Way To Success cont. Reflecting on Lady Kaya's early days, Lavery pinpoints her emergence as a potential stable star as the catalyst for Robbie Colgan's transformation from being a National Hunt jockey to riding on the Flat.

He was favourite for the Derby before he got injured, of course, and both of them ran in the Coronation Cup as a 4-year-old before going on to run in the Gold Cup.

"While they obviously have to have stamina, they won't win it if they don't have class--and Capri won an Irish Derby and Kew Gardens the St Leger, so hopefully they have that." O=Brien also took a moment to reflect on the accomplishments of Yeats (Ire) (Sadler=s Wells), who is responsible for four of his seven Gold Cup wins. Yeats completed the quartet 10 years ago. "It's amazing to think it's 10 years since the last of his Gold Cups--time does fly," said O'Brien of the horse who is immortalized with a statue in the Ascot parade ring.
