BIG DAY at the >OFFICE= for HAMM FRIDAY AI was coming off the track, and the breeder approached me BIG DAY AT THE >OFFICE= and asked if she was for sale. I said >No, I=m just kind of fiddling around here,=@ Hamm recalled. ABut they offered me $100,000. FOR HAMM FRIDAY At that time, I didn=t realize that when they ran big you could make some money selling them. So, that spurred the thought that maybe I could make a business out of this. It was either beginner=s luck or not that hard--now I know it was beginner=s luck.@ Hamm went back to Ocala the following year and purchased four more horses, who he says all became stakes winners. He also bought a farm in nearby Williston around that time, and while he=s added and subtracted to that property over the years, the majority of Hamm=s runners since 1995 have gotten their start at that facility. Hamm also preps some babies at his farm for the 2-year-old sales, and has sold under his Blazing Meadows Farm banner the likes of champion Wait a While ($50,000 KEESEP >04 to $260,000 OBSFEB >05) and Grade I-winning juvenile Sky Diva ($100,000 KEESEP >07 to $250,000 FTFFEB >08). Tim Hamm poses with Dayoutoftheoffice after the GIII Schuylerville S. | Coady Photo by Brian DiDonato With more than 1,300 wins and $30 million in career earnings, a training center in Florida and a breeding operation in Ohio, Tim Hamm has already done plenty to prove his skills as a horseman and businessman. But on Friday, he=ll get a chance to showcase his program on the biggest stage when he sends out unbeaten and more or less untested Dayoutoftheoffice (Into Mischief) to take on the household barns in the GI Juvenile Fillies. It will be his first runner, as a trainer at least, in the World Championships. Like many conditioners, the Ohio native grew up around horses--he had experience with Saddlebreds and Standardbreds, and his parents owned an Arabian farm. His father, who worked for General Motors, trained horses off the family=s farm and Former Blazing Meadows grad Sky Diva took the 2008 GI Frizette S. before finishing third in the Juvenile Fillies | Horsephotos shipped them in to race at Mountaineer. Hamm attended Youngstown State and earned a bachelor=s He=s been to the Breeders= Cup before as an owner with flashy degree in business before immediately starting his own Ohio-bred Too Much Bling, who he sent out to a 19 1/2-length construction company upon graduation. Business must have maiden-breaking score at Thistledown in 2005. Stonerside been pretty good, as a few years into his construction career, Stable subsequently purchased a majority interest in the colt Hamm ventured down to Ocala to shop the 1994 OBS April sale. and turned him over to Bob Baffert, for whom he took a trio of He purchased a Pennsylvania-bred filly by Proof for $13,500 graded stakes before finishing sixth in the 2006 GI Breeders= Cup and, after someone explained to him what her state-bred status Sprint. meant, Hamm pointed his purchase towards a debut at Hamm said he typically breaks a crop of 40 to 50 on his farm, Philadelphia Park that July. Named Willowy Proof, Hamm=s filly but had 75 last year and will have around 80 2-year-olds of romped by 9 1/4 lengths in that initial outing. 2021. Cont. p2 BC FRIDAY SPECIAL EDITION $ PAGE 2 OF 14 $ THETDN.COM WEDNESDAY $ NOV. 4, 2020 Too Much Bling | Sarah Andrew A significant part of his business comes from partnering with large commercial breeders. He has a close relationship with WinStar Farm, co-breeding and campaigning Ohio-breds together and standing the stallion National Flag at Blazing Meadows Ohio as WinBlaze. Hamm has also teamed up in recent years with the likes of Three Chimneys Farm, for whom his brother Tom is Director of Stallion Seasons, and Breeders= Cup chairman Fred Hertrich III and John Fielding. Three Chimneys and Blazing Meadows race last year=s two-time Woodbine stakes winner Fast Scene (Fast Anna) together. AThey=re on an individual basis--some of them are on deals, some we partner on and some are from conception,@ Hamm said when asked about the structure of his partnerships. AMost of the WinStar horses are ones we=re breeding together. Each horse is different, how it=s structured. Historically, what we started doing years ago, if they had one they really liked but maybe the sire wasn=t that hot or maybe there was a blip on the X-rays that might not hurt them to race but would hurt them at a yearling sale; or maybe their conformation wasn=t up to what would pass at a yearling sale to really get much, we took a lot of those [on deals] and we still do some of those.@ Hamm=s first time working with Dayoutoftheoffice=s breeder and co-owner, Anthony Manganaro, Ignacio Patino and David Pope=s Siena Farm, came in 2015 with eventual 2016 My Dear S. heroine Velvet Mood (Lonhro {Aus}). AIn our first experience with Siena, they gave me a Lonhro filly who was really crooked, not real big, but I took her and they called me a week later and said, >You know, we feel like we=re not giving you much of a shot with that filly. If you=re going to invest this time and money, we=re going to throw in this Ghostzapper colt--a more attractive horse,=@ Hamm said. AIt ended up that the Lonhro filly won her first three, including a stake at Woodbine and we sold her for pretty good money. The colt turned out to be a dud, but that=s how we got started with Siena.@ Cont. p3 BC FRIDAY SPECIAL EDITION $ PAGE 3 OF 14 $ THETDN.COM WEDNESDAY $ NOV. 4, 2020 Dayoutoftheoffice got an early start to her career when she scored by 4 3/4 lengths at Gulfstream May 14. She was dismissed at almost 20-1 in Saratoga=s GIII Schuylerville S. two months later, but leapt forward again to air by six lengths. Velvet Mood takes the 2016 My Dear S. | Michael Burns Hamm said he took an equity position in Dayoutoftheoffice in exchange for training her, and it didn=t take him long to figure out he had gotten a good one. AIt was probably late January or February,@ Hamm said when Dayoutoftheoffice winning on debut at Gulfstream Ryan Thompson asked when he first knew Dayoutoftheoffice was a runner. AThere were three fillies who really stood out in our crop, and AI was fairly confident that she would run very well [in the sure enough all three ended up really being runners. We always Schuylerville]--whether she would win it or not, I think all those thought she was the best of the three based on the fact that she fillies that have just broken their maiden and are going into had a lot of size and scope along with being very athletic. The graded stakes at Saratoga for the first time, you really don=t other two were [eventual Ohio-bred multiple stakes winners] know how they=re going to react when they meet the next level Alexandria (Constitution) and Esplanande (Daredevil). of horse,@ Hamm said. AI was very skeptical about running her Esplanade was second in the GI Spinaway S. to the filly who was 4 1/2 furlongs at Gulfstream, but she was ready, and I didn=t second in the Frizette, and Alexandria was third in the GIII want to keep training on her and waiting so we figured we=d get Pocahontas S. You can identify them pretty early, but what you a race in her and see how she did. I knew she had a lot of ability can=t control is injury and sickness and all that.@ early, and I guess she answered the question as to whether she could up her level.@ With the Breeders= Cup circled on the calendar for quite some time now, Hamm has kept Dayoutoftheoffice=s races well spaced out. She didn=t make a start between the July 16 Schuylerville and Oct. 10 GI Frizette S. at Belmont, while posting seven drills between Thistledown and Belterra Park in the interim. AWhen you start these horses in May--and she=d been in training since at least Oct. 1 [of 2019]--we=d done a lot of 2-year-olds over the years and if you just drill them and drill them and don=t give them a little break, I just don=t see them lasting,@ Hamm said. AWe knew we had a horse who could possibly make the Breeders= Cup, so we tried to space it so that would be a viable option if she proved to have the ability. We were slightly worried she would be short for the Frizette--she hadn=t run in 80-something days--but her last two works Alexandria, pictured winning the Jim Morgan Memorial Tah Dah S. heading into the Frizette were pretty good. We thought she had at Belterra in July, gave the Hamm barn some momentum heading a heck of a chance to be tight enough, and if we came out of into the Breeders= Cup after taking last Saturday=s John Galbreath S. by open lengths at Mahoning Valley | Coady Photo there, we=d have a really fresh and good horse going into the Breeders= Cup.@ Cont.

  • Derby Double for Frankel As Hurricane Lane Swoops
    SUNDAY, 27 JUNE 2021 DERBY DOUBLE FOR SANTA BARBARA TO THE TEST IN PRETTY POLLY FRANKEL AS HURRICANE There have been valid excuses for her missing the target so far in 2021, but Sunday=s G1 Alwasmiyah Pretty Polly S. at The LANE SWOOPS Curragh offers the ideal opportunity for >TDN Rising Star= Santa Barbara (Ire) (Camelot {GB}) to deliver on her promise. Lacking vital experience when fourth in the G1 1000 Guineas at Newmarket May 2 she was probably undone by a combination of a 12-furlong trip and testing ground when fifth in the June 4 G1 Epsom Oaks. AShe clearly ran a hugely promising race for a horse coming off the back of just a maiden win when fourth in the Guineas and that was always going to be a big ask for her over a mile on fast ground in a Classic first time up,@ Ryan Moore commented. AIt looks like the trip proved beyond her in bad conditions when fifth in the Oaks last time, so this 10-furlong trip could prove her optimum. Hopefully she can take a step forward here, but she is up against some horses of a similar ability and in some cases higher-rated opposition so this is another tough Group 1 assignment for her.@ Cont. p10 Hurricane Lane (right) | Racingfotos.com It was a Derby double for Frankel (GB) on Saturday as Godolphin=s Hurricane Lane (Ire) stepped forward to emulate his stablemate Adayar (Ire) in flying the flag for his sire in The Curragh=s G1 Dubai Duty Free Irish Derby.
