PAST CLARK WINNERS MEET AGAIN FRIDAY OPPENHEIM: MAKING Last term=s GI Clark H. hero Effinex (Mineshaft) and 2014 winner Hoppertunity (Any Given Saturday), who was second (INTO) MISCHIEF last year, meet once again in Friday=s renewal of the prestigious Churchill Downs test. Tri-Bone Stables= Effinex, winner of the GII Suburban H. in July and most recently seventh in the GI Breeders= Cup Classic, drew post two and will be piloted by Junior Alvarado. Hoppertunity bested Effinex by a half-length in the GI Jockey Club Gold Cup Hoppertunity (L) & Effinex at Belmont Oct. 8 prior to a Chelsea Durand fourth-place finish behind stablemate Arrogate (Unbridled=s Song) in the Classic. The Bob Baffert trainee will break from the nine hole in this 10-horse affair with Hall of Famer John Velazquez aboard.

But before talking about the sales I=d like to take a Click or tap here to go straight to TDN Europe. paragraph or two to highlight what I consider to be a quite remarkable achievement by Spendthrift=s sire Into Mischief, which is that he has reached the top spot as the #1 sire of 2-year-olds in North America by progeny earnings in 2016 (click here). From at least the middle of 2013, when we first compiled APEX ratings for sires with their first foals 2010, it was clear Into Mischief was way out of the ordinary, as his initial A Runner Index at that time was an astronomical 5.45. By the end of 2013 his A Runner Index was 5.80, well ahead of all other F2010 sires. At the end of 2014 his A Runner Index was 4.51, and by the end of 2015, when he first had enough year-starters to be rated among all APEX sires rather than just his own F2010 sire group, he ranked as the #2 North American/European APEX sire, with an A Runner Index of 4.07, behind only Galileo (4.09), with a certain War Front (3.89) in third. Yes, he only had a third the number of year-starters as War Front, and actually just over a tenth the number of year-starters as Galileo; nonetheless, to even get a mention in the same context as those two--very impressive.

“Two trends which emerged in Kentucky continued at Goffs: markedly strong demand for in-foal mares and broodmare prospects; and a big gap in the clearance rate between mares and foals. In 2013 the Goffs mare sale grossed €13-million even without the €12.7-million Makin Dispersal, and this year very nearly matched that total, with €12.9-million from the two-day mare sale without the Wildenstein mares. But note 71.3% of the non-dispersal mares sold, compared to 58.0% of the foals.”

“In 2013, there were 3,824 horses catalogued between Fasig-Tipton and Keeneland’s November sales; 2,586 of them sold, for a total of $271-million. This year 4,939 horses were catalogued – an increase of 1,115, or 29%. But only 6% more horses sold (2,741, an increase of 155), and the combined gross was $269.3-million.

Oppenheim cont. In the last 15 years I=ve seen only four other stallions who started out this way, with weanlings which were so impressive they just demanded buyers take notice, and three out of the four (Cape Cross 2001, Montjeu 2002 [yes, he even took Coolmore by surprise], and Tapit 2006) went on to be major successes (the one who didn=t? Colonel John 2010, so like everything else, this >pointer= isn=t correct all the time). But a 75% success rate means the next one who comes along is one-to-three to be a success, so if the market=s right about Cairo Prince (and it usually is), he should be overrun with mares at $15,000 next year. One thing is for sure: he could not have made a more impressive start in the commercial market. Contact Bill Oppenheim at [email protected] (cc [email protected]).

CHANNON HOLDS STRONG HAND FOR TATTS FOUR DAYS OF FOAL SALES By Chris McGrath In a book recently published by his son, Mick Channon's BEGINS AT TATTERSALLS second profession is bleakly defined as an exercise in "introducing successful people to failure." In reality, of course, as a man who has famously mastered two very different walks of sporting life--first as an international footballer, and now as a racehorse trainer--Channon enables his clients to share a nearly unique brand of success. Even so, this time of year presents him with two imperatives that are very difficult to reconcile. On the one hand, he would love his clients to resist cashing in those assets whose value he has enhanced. He is adamant that at least two of the three stakes winners he is sending up to the December Sales at Tattersalls Nov. 8 to Dec. 1 have plenty more to offer on the track. At the same time, however, he acknowledges that all owners need to raise funds if they are to sustain a new cycle in the perennial quest for fresh stars. cont. p2

BOUDOT POSTS WINS RECORD Jockey Pierre-Charles Boudot set a new record for number of wins in a year on the flat for a European jockey when a four- timer at Chantilly on Tuesday saw him reach 275 victories. Peter Schiergen previously held the mark with 271, which he set in 1995 to best Sir =s long-held record of 269 set in 1947. "It's a great achievement,@ said Boudot=s agent Herve Pierre-Charles Boudot | Scoop Dyga Naggar. AHe will continue riding to the end of the year, so hopefully he can get close to 300 winners or maybe close to Tony McCoy's record.@ National Hunt legend Tony McCoy recorded 289 wins in the 2001/02 season. "The aim from the middle part of the season was to break the record as whatever he touches seems to win. It's just been unbelievable,@ said Naggar. "You must also remember he is not a light jockey, so it's not easy to make the weight all the time. It's very impressive. He will ride until the end of the year and he does have rides in Japan this weekend and in Hong Kong, but they will be round trips so he can carry on riding in France. For now, though, we are just going to enjoy this moment." Among Boudot=s 275 winning rides this year have been Group 1 scorers National Defense (GB) (Invincible Spirit {Ire}) and Waldgeist (Ger) (Galileo {Ire}).
