THE BEVERLY LEWIS YOU DIDN=T KNOW GHOSTZAPPER FILLY TOPS by Bill Finley F-T OCTOBER OPENER Beverly Lewis passed away Friday at the age of 90 after a lengthy illness. To everyone in the sport, her passing is a sad occasion as, along with her late husband, Bob, she was a part of one of the top racing stables of an era. The Lewises were all about class. They raced the very best horses and were as gracious and as enthusiastic as any owners who ever played this game. But the reputation that the Lewis stable enjoyed was, really, all about Bob, who passed away in 2006. He was the gregarious one, the one who did all the talking. At least publicly, Beverly rarely said a word, and her willingness to blend into the background made her somewhat of a mystery. Both were born in an era where many still believed that the man was in charge and that the wife was just along for the ride. Cont. p9 (click here)

Memories, whose Cairo Prince yearling sold for $400,000 in CB: I think the focus is on giving breeders the opportunity to be September. successful, not just in the marketplace, but also in breeding So when something good happens in a pedigree, you see the horses to race.

We really try about female families as much as any breeder around. By to balance both aspects. Governor Jones himself is a big-time building those families, you get to know what those families end user. Winning races is what it=s all about here. The industry need, what they do and what they produce and you can use depends on a lot of small or medium-sized breeders who need them then strategically to enhance the chance of a young commercial returns to stay in the game. We really try to strike stallion. that balance. It=s a difficult thing to do but it=s important to try.

TDN: How many mares do the Joneses own, and how many are on the farm? CB: They have a little over 150 mares. It=s a big broodmare band, and what I=ve enjoyed so much in coming here is to see that there are several generations here. Some of the mares we have now are third, fourth generation or more, tracing back to the mares that he started with. I think when you look at the really top breeders in the world, that=s a common thread, and developing families helps you control a lot of the variables that exist in the breeding game. We don=t board but for a few close associates, so there aren=t really a lot of outside mares. There might be 170 mares on the entire farm.

It provided me a strong extremely classy horse with size, scope and a beautiful walk, and background in genetics which I think is something that really he passes on those attributes. His progeny have his free-moving, comes into play in the breeding industry. Beyond that, PhD athletic walk and they have such good minds. They take to the degrees help develop critical thinking skills which might be the sales environment very well.

He was an excellent 2-year-old, and it's fair to expect some precocity in his progeny, but to me he still looks like a Classic two-turn 3-year-old type.

And of course the man who gave his own name to the THE WEEKLY WRAP champion racehorse, the late Bobby Frankel, has been very much in the minds of racing folk in the last few weeks as Aidan O'Brien closed in on his record of 25 top-level wins in a season. In fact, O'Brien, who on Saturday received his British champion trainer's trophy from Gosden, equalled the record that day with a win from Hydrangea (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) in the G1 QIPCO British Champions Fillies & Mares S., and rather ominously has 22 entries in this Saturday's G1 Racing Post Trophy.

By Emma Berry Despite the hell-and-high-water predictions of Storm Brian ahead of QIPCO British Champions' Day, Ascot got off pretty lightly on the weather front and served up a day of outstanding action with multiple storylines to savour. The name Frankel (GB) has never been far from conversations surrounding Champions' Day since the reworked version was first staged at the Queen's racecourse in 2011--the year Frankel himself was a 3-year-old and brought the curtain down on his season with a four-length victory in the G1 Queen Elizabeth II S. He of course concluded his career in the same spot the following year when winning the G1 QIPCO Champion S., the race which has now provided him with a first European Group 1 winner as a sire via Cracksman (GB).

In which case, Frankel is doing extremely well. When his son Cracksman powered seven lengths clear in the G1 QIPCO Champion S., he achieved a Timeform rating of 136, which is indeed within hailing distance of the 143 posted by Frankel at the same age.

The Racing Post has awarded him top position among this year's European horses, just 2lb above his celebrated stablemate Enable, and equal to the top-ranked dirt horse, Arrogate.
