Miracle © BENOIT PHOTO; ANNE M MAKING OF A MIRACLE © BENOIT PHOTO; ANNE M. EBERHARDT (INSET) BY LENNY SHULMAN either owner Rick Porter nor trainer Richard Man- della is a stranger to winning top-shelf races. Under Nhis Fox Hill Farms banner, Porter has campaigned such grade I winners as Horse of the Year Havre de Grace, Hard Spun, Jostle, Joyful Victory, and Round Pond, among others. Mandella, enshrined in the Hall of Fame for having scored in virtually every major race on the Southern Califor- nia circuit, won four Breeders’ Cup races in one day in 1993. So what caused the emotional celebration in the winner’s circle after the Brazilian import Bal a Bali took the American Stakes (gr. IIIT) May 9 at Santa Anita Park wherein Porter said, “Mandella gave me such a hug I thought he broke a few of my bones.” Why were veterinarians across the country on pins and needles awaiting that race’s outcome, some too nervous to watch? Bal a Bali is a horse that has touched many hearts in his lifetime, including those of his caregivers who, in the past year, brought him back from the brink, a case of laminitis so dire that Dr. Vernon Dryden, a podiatry specialist at Rood & Riddle Equine Hospital who helped treat him, said, “It’s miraculous that this horse came back as Bal a Bali’s comeback good as he did and won that race.” Miracles are in short supply, both inside and outside the world from laminitis 18 / BloodHorse.com / JULY 25, 2015 / TheBloodHorse / BloodHorse BalABali.indd 18 7/20/15 12:18 PM of Thoroughbreds, a fact appreciated in that was impressive, but so was the ask- antine facility in Florida, he had a hug between Porter and Mandella in Arcadia, ing price: $2.5 million, which I wasn’t scrape on a hind leg that was swelling.

Bal a Bali had a calm, serene personality and was easy to handle and, along with the farm’s other colts, was offered for pur- chase at the operation’s annual yearling sale. There, Bal a Bali was purchased by Alvaro Novis and broken at his Stud Alvarenga. Novis is a successful Brazilian businessman who owns a sizable stable of Thoroughbreds in Brazil but doesn’t race outside the country. He found a good one in Bal a Bali, who won his first race at 2, won a stakes event in his second race, and a group III in his third race. From January—March 2014 Bal a Bali won the three group I races that compose the Brazilian Triple Crown, then added the Grande Premio Bra- sil Stakes (Brz-I), a Breeders’ Cup “Win And You’re In” race. “The horse did everything he could do in Brazil. After the 3-year-old season, the purse money isn’t much and it gets to a point where it makes sense to move the horse along,” said COURTESY WESTON DAVIS bloodstock agent John Fulton.

This is a testament to an owner who really cares for the horse. You want to give a horse like this every chance, but he went above and beyond.” Dr. Wes Davis, a surgeon with experience working on foot problems, caught the case at Palm Beach Equine Clinic. Bal a Bali was still under quarantine conditions, so the clinic had to set up a makeshift quarantine facility in an isolated corner of a barn. “He wasn’t too bad when he got here, but he got progres- sively worse in the next few days,” Dr. Davis said. “He was in pain, and so we got aggressive in his care in the initial phases. He got anti-inflammatories immediately.” COURTESY WESTON DAVIS Up at Siena Farm, Manganaro reacted quickly to the Dr. Wes Davis and Dr. Carla Muñoz with Bal a Bali bad news. Several months earlier he had installed a cold at the Palm Beach Equine Clinic water spa at the farm and was impressed how much it was helping his horses. “For the past decade Rick has been very forthcoming with fans “We talked to Dr. Dryden at Rood & Riddle about put- through social media and the website,” said Fox Hill’s Victoria Keith. ting Bal a Bali in the spa and he thought it was a good “We had already posted about Bal a Bali’s purchase and arrival in the idea,” Manganaro said. “I started calling across the coun- States.

WEST COAST Flatter – Caressing by Honour and Glory 2014 Bay l 16.2 Hands “An Eclipse Award winning champion, West Coast is by an outstanding sire son of A.P. Indy, out of a ChampionTwo-Year-Old Filly. West Coast earned a title as Champion Three-Year-Old Colt with five consecutive victories, four in stakes events, and ran 1-2-3 in six consecutive grade one events, including when capturing the Travers Stakes (G1) and Pennsylvania Derby (G1). He is by Flatter, a leading stallion son of A.P. Indy, and sire of more than 50 stakes winners, and out of Caressing, Champion and Breeders’ Cup (G1) winner at two.“ The offspring of West Coast will be free of Northern Dancer at four generations on their sire’s side, and Flatter has crossed well with a wide variety of broodmare sires from that line. The cross with mares from the Danzig branch of Northern Dancer has been particulary productive with seven stakes winners, including graded stakes winners Classic Point and Mad Flatter out of mares by Langfuhr and Honor Grades (who gives inbreeding to the dam of A.P. Indy), and there are also stakes winners out of mares by War Front – who appears particularly interesting here, giving inbreeding to Relaunch and a full-sister – Danzig Connection, Ghazi and Military (who would be intriguing here).

Anecdotally, it can certainly appear as though the same few names wield an outsized impact. But what does the data say? The TDN has crunched the numbers in California from 2007 onward. This is far from a comprehensive overview of the situation, and what emerges is a picture that can be viewed from multiple angles. On the one hand, the numbers suggest that the biggest stables in the state have indeed consolidated their positions at the top during a long period of market contraction. Yet at the same time, other indicators afford tentative encouragement for the smaller players.
