Updates Carry the Day cont. AIt was good to see that, and Scat Daddy had an influence today too as the 2-year-olds had a huge impact on those [top] two mares. Plus even the [GI Spinaway S. winner] Lady Ivanka (Tiz Wonderful) update on the Tapiture foal (hip 587) for $300,000--the power of the update played a role today.@ The gross for the session was $31,774,000.

AAll of that information is in one area. And we wondered why this information wasn=t available to people who buy on the public market. When I was buying on the public market, I was having to put all this information together myself. Since we trade so often on the private market, we just figured it was a natural extension to do it the right way on the consignment level. I think it=s worked out really.@ Providing that kind of in-depth information can encourage buyers to come out and look at horses they might not otherwise have considered, according to Crow.

Liz Crow | Justina Severni

AIf you don=t put the horse in front of people, they can=t buy it,@ she said. AWe have a horse in Book 2 who ran a zero Thoro- Graph and I can say the GI Ballerina S. was won with a 1 1/2 this summer. So, this horse never ran in a graded stakes, but she ran a good enough number to win a Grade I race. So it=s just putting that information in front of people and hopefully that makes them come back to the barn and take a look at something they might have missed otherwise.@ For Crow, the results speak for themselves. AI think it=s obvious that we=re shaking things up,@ she said. AWe went eight for eight and they all sold well. I think it=s because we are able to value these horses properly because we Tepin brings $8 million at FTKNOV | Fasig-Tipton are shopping on the private market and public market everyday. So it=s easy for us to come in here and know what these horses are worth and set reasonable reserves. We know what we can be successful before we give them a chance.= So I have to give expect them to bring since we study the market so closely.@ major credit to the teams of SF Bloodstock, Sol Kumin, China Elite=s initial forays in the public sales arena have been Horse Club, Michael Dubb, Bobby Flay, Donegal Racing and supported by some of the biggest players in the industry. others for stepping up and supporting us initially. The biggest AI think the whole week is a tribute to the clients who names in the game trusted us to get their product sold and, with supported us,@ Weisbord said. AObviously, any time you start a clearance rate of 100%, the team set terrific reserves and the something new, there could be some people who say, >Let them buyers have trusted what we=ve brought to the market.@ TDN HEADLINE NEWS • PAGE 7 OF 18 • THETDN.COM FRIDAY • NOVEMBER 10, 2017

He epitomises Australian speed with multiple stakes wins over 5.5f-7f and was precocious, tough and incredibly fast.@ Cont. p4

Stephen Baster celebrates aboard Pinot | Bronwen Healy IN TDN AMERICA TODAY By Emma Berry FOOLS IN LOVE TOPS KEENELAND DAY 3 As the Spring Carnival prepares to draw to a close on Saturday, Cheveley Park Stud snapped up SW Fools In Love (Not For Love), the penultimate major race day at Flemington featured the G1 dam of Group 2 winner Seahenge (Scat Daddy), for $1 million at Kennedy Oaks and a memorable debut success in the Victorian Keeneland Thursday. Click or tap here to go straight to TDN Classic for the first lady of Australian racing, Gai Waterhouse. America. The length-and-a-quarter winner Pinot (Aus) (Pierro {Aus}), who is trained in partnership by Waterhouse and Adrian Bott, also became the first Group 1 winner for her sire Pierro (Aus), a former five-time Group 1 winner for the Waterhouse stable. "I've been riding for a long time and I never thought I'd ride Gai's first Oaks winner,@ said winning jockey Stephen Baster who has enjoyed a successful Spring Carnival and also won Saturday=s G3 Lexus S. for Waterhouse on Cismontane (Aus) (High Chaparral {Ire}). AIt's amazing she hasn't done it before--she's such a great trainer." Things didn't go completely to plan initially for Pinot, who reared as the stalls opened and missed the break. With Rimraam (Aus) (Commands {Aus}) taking the early lead and short-priced favourite Aloisia (NZ) (Azamour {Ire}) tucked in behind her, Baster was forced to circle the field on Pinot to challenge Aloisia for second, holding that position as opponents lined up wide round the home turn to lay down a challenge. No fewer than six fillies in the 12-runner field were backing up after running on Saturday in the G2 G H Mumm S.

then the further she went the bigger the margin. She's everything a trainer or an owner could want." OTI Racing's hot favourite Aloisia (NZ) (Azamour {Ire}), the winner of the G1 Thousand Guineas and G2 Moonee Valley Vase on her last two runs coming into the race, spread a plate on the way to the start and had to be reshod behind the barriers. Her trainer Aaron Purcell said, "I was a bit concerned that she didn't settle well in the run and she just didn't finish off her race well enough. It didn't help that she had to be reshod in front of such a huge crowd. We thought that we were in the right place to win anyway but it just didn't work out. She'll have a spell now and will likely be aimed at the AJC Oaks."

Pedigree Notes... Pinot's sire Pierro was the standout of his generation when trained by Waterhouse to win the G1 Golden Slipper among his Stephen Baster, Gai Waterhouse & Adrian Bott | Bronwen Healy five top-level wins, but her dam Dizelle (Aus) (Zabeel {NZ}) was no slouch either and won the G1 AJC Australian Oaks for John Pinot the Toast of Flemington Cont. from p1 Hawkes in 2005, while grandam Danelagh (Aus) (Danehill) won Among them was the winner Luvaluva (NZ) (Mastercraftsman the G1 Blue Diamond S. at two and was runner-up in the G1 {Ire}), who posed a serious threat down the straight but Thousand Guineas. weakened along with Aloisia to allow the Tony McEvoy-trained Dizelle is already the dam of the multiple group-placed Lucky Bring Me Roses (Aus) (High Chaparral {Ire}) and Hiyaam (Aus) Lago (Aus) (Encosta De Lago {Aus}) and her full-sister, the (High Chaparral {Ire}), representing Mick Price, to claim the Sportingbet Coongy S. winner Dizlago (Aus), and Dizelle's G2-placed half-sister Bernicia (Aus) (Elusive Quality) is the dam minor placings. of G2 S. winner Old North (Aus), who is by Pierro's sire Baster added, "She's just a deadest star.

He said, "It was such an exciting race and I think we've seen a really special filly today. Full credit to Steve--he took his time and took a deep breath and let her work her way around the field into a nice position. From there she just did the rest. She's a beautiful staying type and I think we saw that towards the end there." Bott continued, "It's very special being part of Gai's first Oaks and it's huge credit to the team here and in Sydney." Flanked by Pinot's international syndicate of owners, which includes American members in Aron Wellman's Eclipse Thoroughbred Partners, along with Newgate Stud, James Bester and the trainer's daughter Kate, Waterhouse commented of her first Victoria Oaks winner, "She's really good--she kicked their brains in today, didn't she?
