DEAUVILLE, FranceBBAs the first full day of showing got underway for Arqana's August Yearling Sale, the sales grounds gradually filled as visitors arrived from Britain and Ireland, along with a planeload of agents and owners who came straight to Normandy from Saratoga. As if to welcome France's premier sale back to its rightful slot in the calendar, the sun also made an appearance as Arqana prepared to bring the curtain up on the European yearling season. The three-day auction begins its run on Saturday, with two select evening sessions after racing concludes next door at the Hippodrome La Touques followed by Monday's 1 p.m. kick-off for the final, longer session. Last year's edition, rebranded as the Select Sale when pandemic restrictions meant it had to be postponed to September, was as ebullient as any of its August predecessors and featured three seven-figure yearlings, led by Ecurie des Monceaux's predictable headline-grabber, the (Ire) half-sister to Arc winner (Fr) (Siyouni {Fr}) and multiple Grade I winner (Ire) (Myboycharlie {Ire}), who sold for i2.5 million.

AClearly this had a knock-on effect on betting figures, however it is encouraging to note the increase in Tote pool betting compared to the same period in 2019 which is a result of the strategic alliance between Tote Ireland and the UK Tote Group which has been in place since the start of this year. A2020 saw the bloodstock market severely disrupted with sales frequently deferred or relocated out of Ireland due to travel restrictions. There were issues again earlier this year, but as the restrictions around international travel ease, we are hopeful that the second half of 2021 will bring a return to the growth which the sector has experienced in recent years. The turnover at bloodstock sales in the first half of 2021, particularly the Goffs Land Rover Sale and the Tattersalls Derby Sale was encouraging.

It is scheduled for Oct. 23, seven days before what has been the traditional 'mares' Grand THE BLACK TYPE? Final' of the spring, the G1 Empire Rose S. at Flemington which is worth $1 million. For fillies and mares in particular, black type plays a major role in their residual value, and a decision to chase prizemoney over group success could prove detrimental to the return a mare might make when sold or bred with after her racing career.

Where Do You Send a Star? It took Star Thoroughbreds' Denise Martin 'about 10 seconds' after she heard about the establishment of The Invitation for her to identify rising star mare Kiku (Zoustar) as an ideal candidate for the race. Kiku, the sister to G1 Newmarket H. winner Zoutori, already has a Group 3 success to her credit but a Group 1 race would supercharge her residual value. However, there is also the lure of a $2-million race seven days earlier. Shout The Bar (yellow cap) winning the G1 Empire Rose S. last year Martin is always led by her trainer, Chris Waller, on the right Bronwen Healy races for her horses to target and says there are a lot of factors that play in to the placement of her horses. by Bren O'Brien "It=s a real balancing act and sometimes you have to assess The emergence of a host of new races on the Australian racing which competition will go where.

of The Pattern to the Australian racing landscape. For Wilson, it speaks to the great passion which drives the industry. "One of the great unbridled joys as an owner at the start of the spring is looking ahead and plotting a path. I'm a historian and these races are time-honoured. I love nothing more than seeing See You In Spring line up in the Quezette on Saturday and looking through the great 3-year-old fillies that have won these races," he said. "The Pattern is incredible for the industry, not just from a breeding perspective, but from an ownership journey perspective and I am fully supportive of what the bloodstock agents are trying to achieve in getting The Pattern to be addressed and prioritised.

Wilson has a similar criticism of the scheduling of the All-Star Mile, which First Light had Aristia (Lonhro) run in in 2019. He said there is a danger of jeopardising a horse's campaign by running it in the wrong races because of the prizemoney. "These races are very lucrative but you have to go there with as a bona fide top-three chance, because given the time of year they are at, you are blessed with alternative options. With Rich Hips and The Invitation, you are probably bypassing the Empire Rose. You want to make sure you are making the right call, because you are giving up on a Group 1," he said.

TRAINERS REACT TO NAVARRO GUILTY PLEA ORIGINAL SEVEN-FIGURE by Bill Finley RACE EXCEEDED On Wednesday, disgraced trainer Jorge Navarro pled guilty to one count of distribution of adulterated and misbranded drugs EXPECTATIONS with the intent to defraud and mislead, a major development in the doping scandal that has rocked the sport since indictments were announced in March of 2020. Navarro will likely spend time in prison and has been ordered to pay restitution in the amount of $25,860,514. His career is over and he may be deported to his native Panama. But was this good day or bad day for the sport? And what needs to be done from here to clean up the game? Those were among the questions we posed to some prominent trainers who are known not just for their abilities but for their integrity. See what they had to say.

Click or tap here to go by Alan Carasso straight to TDN Europe. ARLINGTON HEIGHTS, IL--They are a dime a dozen nowadays, but back in 1981, the idea that a track would offer a $1-million purse for a Thoroughbred horse race was about as far-fetched as civilians building their own rockets for space travel. As president and chief executive officer of Arlington Park, the late Joe Joyce conceived of and brought to fruition a race that would be called the Arlington Million, an event aimed at drawing the best horses to race over the renowned Arlington turf course not just those based domestically, but also from Europe. A race that would attract not only the best equine athletes, but also the most gifted jockeys and the most successful trainers. AThe concept of having a million-dollar race and making it international, that germinated and it was done in a short period of time,@ Arlington's Richard L. Duchossois told ESPN's Thoroughbred Classics program. AJoe Joyce traveled around the world, Nick Clarke from the International Racing Bureau, everyone combined their thoughts and ideas and it became an instant success and immediately put Arlington back on the map.@ On Aug. 30, 1981, the dream became a reality. The inaugural Million drew the sort of field its creators could only have dreamt about. Cont. p3 PUBLISHER & CEO Sue Morris Finley @suefinley [email protected]

Jorge Navarro | Sarah Andrew Mark Casse: It's a start and I hope there are others out there who can't sleep at night. I bet that Jason Servis is seeing this and is starting to change some of his ideas so far as how to go forward. Servis has been trying to get the wiretaps thrown out. He's got bigger problems right now than just the wiretaps. Navarro is a very bad guy and he is getting what he deserves. He's a big bully and he thought he could get away with anything.

Navarro cont. Bill Mott continued: I'm not comfortable or confident that the penalties are in line with the testing, for the therapeutic medications. People are worrying more about that than they should be. They should be worried a lot more about the performance-enhancing drugs like EPO that probably do make a difference and are given illegally. That's the challenge. USADA is coming in and I hope they will be more focused on finding the illegal, performance-enhancing drugs. Shug McGaughey: I'm glad this happened because it has cleared the air. Hopefully, this will be another step toward getting this problem straightened out. The biggest creep I've ever been around or seen in my whole life is Jason Servis. I hope they start getting after him. He is a horrible, horrible guy and had has been horrible for the game. I didn't really know Navarro. I saw that video they took at Monmouth and that was terrible. But the good news is that we won't have to ever worry about him ever again. Graham Motion: Every trainer should be appalled by what this guy was doing. I don't understand how you couldn't be. Basically, he was cheating all of us. I don't see this as a good day. I feel about as down about the sport as I ever have been. We need to clean it up more. Servis and Navarro aren't the only two guys. Where are we going? What else is coming? Is this it? These guys were beating some of us all the time and I find it hard to believe they were the only ones doing this. It's incredibly disappointing that these tracks aren't more proactive and doing something about this situation. With Navarro, it was also his behavior. He was so in your face with this. It's so upsetting to know what happened to XY Jet. We can all have horses get hurt but to actually treat a horse with something that probably ended up causing his demise is pretty shocking to me. This whole thing is pretty sad. Ken McPeek: I am disappointed that this industry has to deal with something like this. This should get the attention of those who want to stain the game, so that makes this a good thing. Navarro claimed some horses off of me over the years, but he never really did anything significant with any of them. I had heard other trainers complain about him and what he was doing. Maybe their experience was different than mine. I don't know what tricks he was up to. I think we're headed in the right direction. The threshold levels are so low that we are practically racing drug free. Good horsemen can handle that and good horsemen have shown they can play by the rules and prosper. Christophe Clement: What I want to know is will my owners ever get paid back for every time they were beaten by Jorge Navarro over the last four of five years? What have the racetracks done to protect my owners? It's not about me, it's about my owners. Cont. p7 Hip 141 sells for $525,000 at The Saratoga Sale.

I'm not sure how many times Navarro beat me, but I finished behind Servis a number of times and in some big races. Unfortunately, this is nothing new. It's the culture out there. The vet is in charge. We need more horsemanship and less medication. There is a great difference between how people train around the world versus how they train in the U.S. Here, the vet is so much more powerful.
