For the end-user, value is doubtless turning a modest VALUE SIRES PART I: nomination fee into a reliable money-spinner that turns up year after year on the racecourse. But this style of breeding is falling THE NEWCOMERS out of fashion in favour of a mating that will meet the demands of the yearling sale market, and in this realm value is most likely to be found among the young sires who have not yet had the opportunity to decrease their worth with progeny on the racecourse. While the definition of value is muddled, for the purposes of this series we will look to strike a happy medium between those sires whose progeny are likelier to earn their keep on the racecourse, and those that may prove most fruitful earlier on in sales rings. At the end of each installment we will present a podium of value for the sire crop. Standing alone at the top of the fee table for his sire crop is Too Darn Hot (GB), Darley=s triple Group 1-winning and dual Cartier champion son of Dubawi who starts out at Dalham Hall Stud alongside his sire for ,50,000.

In the coming weeks and months, another year=s worth of planning, investment and anticipation will come to fruition in the form of a fresh crop of foals frolicking the paddocks, and the cycle of boundless optimism that has fueled the Thoroughbred business for so many years will begin anew. And one cycle rolls right into the next, as foaling season brings with it the endlessly fascinating task of planning a new round of matings. Proven sires and those on the bubble are joined by yet another intake of young pretenders. Over the coming weeks the TDN will present its annual multi-part Value Sires series, analyzing stallions by sire crop and career stage. We begin this week with the new class of 2020 and will advance through stallions with first foals, yearlings and runners, and later look at the stallions who have already proven their worth on the racecourse, highlighting value at each level. That begs the question, what is value in the bloodstock business? TDN EUROPE • PAGE 2 OF 8 • THETDN.COM SUNDAY • 29 DECEMBER 2019

Santa Anita. It was the fourth stakes win on the card for Hall of Famer Mike Smith, but more importantly the 217th Grade I victory of his storied career, surpassing Jerry Bailey=s record. Smith tied the record two races earlier aboard Hard Not to Love (Hard Spun) in the GI La Brea S. Pounded at the windows and off at 2-5 facing just four rivals, the future Spendthrift Farm resident Omaha Beach was off cleanly from his outside draw and sat perched out in the clear in fourth down the backside as longshot Much Better (Pioneerof the Nile) tore away from them through a :22.43 opening quarter. Smith and Omaha Beach could wait no more entering the turn, and they mounted a sweeping offensive that quickly changed the complexion of the race. Much Better dropped out at that point, with second choice Complexity (Maclean=s Music) and Manny Wah (Will Take Charge) working hard to keep up with the chalk. Any attempts to run with Omaha Beach appeared futile as he continued to cruise on the lead past the quarter pole, and the dark bay cantered home from there while seeming to save something for next month=s GI Pegasus World Cup. >TDN Rising Star= Roadster (Quality Road) rallied from last to second, while Manny Wah hung on for third.

Omaha Beach hit the board thrice on the grass and once more on the local dirt before finally breaking through by nine lengths in the slop over this track and trip Feb. 2. The light bulb went on after that, and he wasted little time climbing the class ladder, annexing a division of the GII Rebel S. at Oaklawn by a nose over champion 2-year-old Game Winner (Candy Ride {Arg}) Mar. 16 and besting highly regarded Improbable (City Zip) and subsequent GI Kentucky Derby winner via DQ Country House (Lookin At Lucky) in the GI Arkansas Derby Apr. 13.

Charming has not produced a foal since Omaha Beach.

Smith Surpasses Bailey... AIt is very humbling, I am a very blessed man and when you are blessed, opportunities arise, like I get to ride for Mr. Mandella and all kinds of things happen,@ Smith said after breaking Bailey=s record.

Hall of Famer Mike Smith racked up 13 of his prior Grade I wins coming from a mile out of it on the back of a John Shirreffs- trained female in Zenyatta (Street Cry {Ire}), so it was only fitting for him to tie Jerry Bailey=s record of 216 Grade I tallies from out of the clouds aboard Hard Not to Love. The lightly raced >TDN Rising Star=, who lost an eye to infection as a yearling, dropped far back to last while well out in the track as heavy chalk Bellafina showed the way with Mother Mother in hot pursuit through splits of :21.70 and :44.41. Hard Not to Love came alive and began to slingshot past rivals around the turn for home, and was third by about four lengths at the top of the lane.

"These turf races are so important, and there's a shortage of stallions that are capable of getting a superior turf horse.

Jones spoke about the combination of quality and commercial value he expects to see from Divisidero's progeny. "Kitten's Joy is absolutely, unquestionably, one of the best stallions in the world. A lot of people talk about Kitten's Joy not being the most commercial horse in the world, which frankly is a little silly, because they run faster than the horses they compete with." Kitten's Joy has been leading turf sire for the last six years, and will likely be number two on that list for 2019. He also consistently ranks in the top 10 in North America on the general sires list, finishing in the top spot last year with the likes of Hawkbill, Henley's Joy, and Catapult.
