‘HAPPY’ DAYS ARE HERE AGAIN ‘ATTHEWIRE’ INDEED IN THE LA BREA One of the leaders of her generation when based in Florida over the winter, Birdatthewire (Summer Bird) had made two somewhat lackluster appearances since finishing an even fifth from a high draw in the GI at Churchill Downs May 2. Let go at odds of 10-1 with Hall of Fame Mike Smith taking over at the controls, the lanky bay filly was slow into stride and detached from the body of the field in Saturday’s GI La Brea S. at Santa Anita, but caught the eye on the turn, then caught pacesetting Hot City Girl (City Zip) to score by a cozy three-parts of a length. ‘TDN Rising Star’ Cavorting (Bernardini) sat a perfect trip behind the speed, but couldn’t match strides late and finished third.

Gary Stevens the ‘perfect passenger’ aboard | Benoit In front of an opening-day crowd of 44,873–the largest in 21 years–James McIngvale’s Runhappy (Super Saver) put an exclamation point on a championship season with an BREEDING PLANS: MOYGLARE STUD authoritative, front-running victory in the GI Malibu S. In Chris McGrath speaks with Moyglare Stud's Fiona Craig and defeating ‘TDN Rising Star’ Marking (Bernardini), Runhappy chronicles the breeding plans for the stud's broodmare band became the first horse based outside of California to win the in 2016. race since Run Man Run defeated Artax in 1998 and just the Click or tap here to go straight to TDN Europe. third to accomplish the feat in the last 30 years. With regular rider Edgar Prado sidelined via injury, Runhappy–controversially returned to trainer Laura Wohlers following his last-out success in the GI Breeders’ Cup Sprint at Keeneland Oct. 31–was sent to the front by Gary Stevens, who kept the $200,000 Keeneland September graduate a few paths off the rail, daring Jose Lezcano atop Marking to either take the risk of being trapped inside the pacesetter or being consigned to a wider trip than desired. The Godolphin runner would not go down without a battle, but in the end, Runhappy proved far too classy, winning for the sixth straight time to lock up an Eclipse Award while likely garnering support in a few other categories. “He blows me away,” commented Stevens. “That was only the second time I’ve sat on him and to get to feel that power coming into the stretch was awesome. I just want to say ‘thank you’ to Edgar Prado. Edgar and I had a couple of conversations earlier in the week when I found out I was going to ride this horse and he told me quite a few things about him that helped me today. It was all Runhappy though and he’s an extremely special horse.” Malibu S. cont. p3 curlin’s best son

Op/Ed: Craig Bernick cont. An aggressive marketing effort must be directed at the new entrepreneurs in the area who have demonstrated that they have enormous disposable income looking for a home as evidenced by their investment in professional sports teams and other sporting endeavors. The handle of a combined circuit will certainly be greater than today’s mess. Hong Kong produces greater handle than the entire United States with fewer than 90 days of racing. They bet on quality racing there with fields full of good horses, which is what a combined Northern and Southern California circuit would create. A bold move like this must be done before there isn’t an industry to save in California. Craig Bernick has been President and Chief Operating Officer of Glen Hill Farm since 2008. The farm has approximately 35 broodmares in Ocala, FL and 30 horses in training in Southern California, Florida, and the Mid-Atlantic. Glen Hill Farm raced such horses as Relaunch, Convenience and One Dreamer and, more recently, Banned, Marketing Mix, Pontchatrain, Diversy Harbor, and Chiropractor. He is a member of the TOBA Executive Committee, and a board member of Breeders Cup and the Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance. He is an officer of the Lavin Family Foundation which supports education, after-school, and health programs in Chicago and around the country.

>SHIP= LOOKS FOR MORE ARIMA >GOLD= BREEDING PLANS: To say that Gold Ship (Jpn) (Stay Gold {Jpn}) has a cult MOYGLARE STUD following--not just in his homeland but from all corners of the globe--would be an understatement of monumental proportions. The famously obstreperous gray colt, making the final start of a career that saw him win the event as a 3-year-old in 2012 before finishing third the last two seasons, will try to go out a winner in Sunday=s G1 Arima Kinen before a six-figure crowd at Nakayama. Notoriously tough to handle, but as talented as they come if his mind is on the task at hand, Gold Ship narrowly defeated subsequent G1 Melbourne Cup favorite Fame Game (Jpn) (Heart=s Cry {Jpn}) by a narrow margin in the G1 Tenno Sho (Spring) over 3200 meters May 3. But he went straight onto his hind legs as the gates were sprung for the G1 Takarazuka Kinen June 28 and never reached serious contention, finishing 15th of the 16 runners as the 9-10 chalk. cont. p5

Click or tap here to go straight to TDN America. True, his final start proved a huge anti-climax for Dermot Weld, his trainer, and the team at Moyglare Stud. Sent off favorite for the G1 Longines Hong Kong Cup earlier this month, Free Eagle dropped right out to finish last--a shadow of the horse that toughed things out so pluckily in the G1 Prince of Wales's S. at Royal Ascot in June. But while no obvious explanation at first suggested itself for so tame an effort, it was a different story as soon as he returned to Ireland. "He was a very sick horse for a week after he got back," Moyglare's Fiona Craig explained. "I'd say he must have been incubating it going into the race, and that the stress of that brought it on." Free Eagle has responded well to treatment, however, and will now be transferred to his new home at the Irish National Stud, where he starts at a fee of i20,000. "It's a shame they weren't able to have him there a bit earlier," Craig said. "But I know quite a few people have been in to see him at Rosewell, and seen what a bonny horse he is. I think they're happy with the response they've been getting: all the shares are sold, and I believe plenty of people are planning to use both nominations themselves." cont. p2 TDN EUROPE $ PAGE 2 of 7$ THETDN.COM SUNDAY, 27 DECEMBER 2015

Oaks winner bought for $2.4 million at Fasig-Tipton's Kentucky "But of course he couldn't be entertained as a possibility for sale in November 2014. Out of a Marquetry mare, her first probably a third of our broodmare band," Craig said. "Because partner will be Galileo (Ire) (Sadler's Wells {Ire}). so many of them are related to him." "She gives us Storm Cat on top of Mr Prospector," Craig That is just an extreme explained. "She has tons of speed in her pedigree and was a version of the perennial top-class racemare at seven furlongs to a mile. Most of our challenge facing the Haefner mares don't have loads of speed, and obviously Storm Cat works stud: how to maintain diversity very well back into Galileo." in a gene pool saturated, Much the same logic applied, in 2012, to the acquisition of especially in Ireland, by such Switch (Quiet American) at the equivalent sale for $4.3 million. dominant sirelines as Sadler's Having so far produced a Galileo filly and a Dansili (GB) Wells and Danehill.

Breeding Plans: Moyglare Stud cont. "You don't buy a mare like that without having a plan in place already," Craig said. "And she was bought very much with that mating in mind." But the quest for equilibrium, at Moyglare, is not merely genetic. The idea, after all, is to breed runners--not yearlings with commercial pedigrees. "The physical match is vital," Craig confirmed. "Many of these mares were with us as foals. We knew what their dams looked like, often their great-grandmothers as well. It doesn't always work, but there are traits we know to expect. With young mares, you do need to see the foal before you can finally commit them to a stallion. Until you see the foal, you're working blind: it might be an elephant, or it might be a dainty little thing." A case in point is the talented, Unaccompanied (Ire) (Danehill Dancer {Ire}), now in Kentucky and expecting her first foal by Distorted Humor (Forty Niner). She will proceed to Elusive Quality (Gone West). Unaccompanied is one of 10 mares--out of a total of 40 to be bred in 2016--tracing to Talking Picture (Speak John), the champion American 2-year-old filly of 1973.
