No horseracing organiza- tions support H.R. 2641, though some individuals believe this is the correct path for the industry. The second bill, H.R. 3084, is sponsored by Reps. Paul Tonko (Democrat/NY) and Andy Barr (Republican/ KY), co-chairs of the Congressional Horse Caucus. This is the one supported by Breeders’ Cup, The Jockey Club and WHOA, who along with the Kentucky Thorough- bred Association/Kentucky Thoroughbred Owners and Breeders, and the Humane Society of the United States are members of a group called the Coalition for Horse Racing Integrity. This bill would establish an independent, non-governmental agency (to be called the Thoroughbred Horseracing Anti-Doping Authority) that would be popu- lated by the CEO of USADA, five USADA board members and five individuals nominated by Thoroughbred industry organizations and selected by USADA.

But a setback put him on the shelf until the spring of 2014, when he broke his maiden second time out by 9 1/4 lengths. Following a win in allowance company, the colt needed another layoff and stayed on the sidelines until March. No problem. He’s reeled off four more victories this season for owner Stonestreet Stables and trainer Todd Pletcher, most recently getting up by a nose after a gutsy stretch duel with The Big Beast in the Vanderbilt. Rock Fall’s form doesn’t just come from his sire. His dam, Renda, was graded stakes-placed and competed in the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf. “She had some speed and precocity and was by a very de- 2011 Dk B Colt, Speightstown — Renda, by Medaglia sirable sire,” said O’Callaghan. “She was a Medaglia d’Oro d’Oro.

PRS Speightstown was a high-caliber sprinter, winning 10 of 16 starts on his way to earning more than $1.2 million. He finished off the board just two times, one of them in his first start. He capped off his stellar career with a victory in the Grade 1 Breeders’ Cup Sprint. In seven career outings, Rock Fall has failed to reach the winner’s circle only once, and that was in his debut. The 4-year-old has prevailed in six consecutive starts, includ- ing back-to-back scores in the G2 True North and G1 Vanderbilt Handicaps, a feat that yes, Speightstown also accomplished. Bred in Kentucky by SF Bloodstock, Rock Fall looked the part early on, according to consignor Peter O’Callaghan of Woods Edge Farm. “He was a strong horse, very correct, and a good mover,” O’Callaghan said. “He looked like he’d make a good 2-year- old.” After selling for $250,000 as a yearling at the 2012 Fasig- Tipton Saratoga Sale, all was going according to plan as RANDOM FACTS by Ray Paulick In the last 110 runnings of the Travers, 49 favorites won (44.5 percent). Twenty-four Kentucky Derby winners ran in the Travers; 10 won. No horse has won both the Travers and Breeders’ Cup Classic. Of the three Triple Crown winners to run in the Travers, only Whirlaway (1941) won.

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).

Union Rags is also the leading son of Dixie Union, himself the most outstanding son of Dixieland Band. There as six stakes winners by Dixie Union and sons out of A.P. Indy line mares, including A.P.

Union Rags has a double of Mr. Prospector that will appear 5 x 4 in his foals.

  • Unknown FRIDAY, MAY 05, 2017
    “Don’t be afraid to change. You may lose something good but you may gain something better.” - Unknown FRIDAY, MAY 05, 2017 Morning Summary: Stock remain near their all-time highs. The Nasdaq is up over +15% year-to-date with the S&P 500 up over +7%. Crude oil on the other hand is trading at multi-month lows and is now down almost -20% year-to-date as U.S. production levels are nearing this of top producers such as Saudi Arabia and Russia. U.S. crude production now sits at around 9.29 million barrels a day, highest since the summer of 2015. With gas- oline demand lower and strong supplies there’s reason to believe prices at the pump may pullback in the next week or two. Today’s economic highlight will be the April Employment Report, which is expected to show U.S. employers added +175,000 to +185,000 new jobs with the unemployment rate ticking up slightly to 4.6% from a previous 4.5%. Keep in mind that March payrolls only grew by 98,000, a disappointing number that many ana- lysts attributed to temporary seasonal factors. If hiring does not indeed pick up from last month’s level, it could raise some concerns about a softening economy. Average hourly earnings and the participation rate will also be an important part of the overall equation. If both are increasing, it would send a signal that the job market may be close to full em- ployment, meaning adding new jobs is growing increasingly more difficult.

  • How John Liviakis Selects Mares and Plans Matings
    PHOTO CREDIT How John Liviakis selects mares and plans matings 22 / BloodHorse.com / FEBRUARY 13, 2016 / TheBloodHorse / BloodHorse BEHIND THE BREEDINGS BY LENNY SHULMAN hen the first blanket of snow covers the Bluegrass, we know that breeding season is about to commence. For the past Wfew years at this time Blood-Horse has asked prominent breeders to share their philosophies of choosing stallions for their mares, and this time around we travel out to California to talk with John Liviakis who, when not running his Liviakis Financial Com- munications, one of the leading financial public relations firms in the world, keeps busy reading pedigree analyses and checking in on his broodmares in Kentucky and Florida. Liviakis, a former Standardbred trainer, has bred grade I winner Gomo, multiple graded stakes winners Handsome Mike and Reneesgotzip, grad- ed stakes winners Tommy Macho, Mighty Caroline, and Renee’s Titan, and stakes winner Renee’s Queen. Although all of the above won added-money events within the last five years, Liviakis no longer owns any of their dams. Because Liviakis invests heavily in the young companies he helps to devel- op, his disposable income ebbs and flows, affecting whether he holds or sells bloodstock. “When you’re a breeder and have all these foals every year, your numbers go up geometrically,” Liviakis said from his Mill Valley, Calif., headquarters. “Unless you’re extremely wealthy, you can’t handle the numbers. So I’ve had to sell, and you can only sell the ones people want. But besides the financial rea- sons, I’m also a big believer in the fact that mares regress in their productivity as they get older and have more foals.

INSTAGRAND A $1,2,000,000 two-year-old in training purchase, Instagrand was a debut winner by 10 lengths going five furlongs in 56:00, and followed up with 10¼ lengths victory in the Best Pal Stakes (G2), demonstrating himself to be one of the most spectacular juvenile colts to represent the sensational Leading Sire, and twice Leading Sire of Two-Year-Olds, Into Mischief. Into Mischief has sired the brilliant Goldencents out of a mare by Banker’s Gold, and four stakes winners, including multiple grade one winner Practical Joke, out of mares by Distorted Humor (sire of Flower Alley, Sharp Humor, Drosselmeyer, Maclean’s Music and Jimmy Creed). Banker’s Gold and Distorted Humor are both sons of Forty Niner, a stallion who could also be introduced through mares by Coronado’s Quest, Editor’s Note, End Sweep, Jules, Luhuk, Gold Fever, Roar (broodmare sire of an Into Mischief stakes winner), Trippi (broodmare sire of an Into Mischief graded winner) and Twining. The Into Mischief cross with mares from the Gone West branch of Mr. Prospector has also been a very successful one.
