RAMSEY SAYS HE=S INTENT SEPTEMBER SALE SPEEDING TOWARDS FINISH by Alan Carasso ON STANDING The calendar may say that Friday is the first day of autumn, but the prices during the second of two Book 5 sessions at the KITTEN=S JOY IN EUROPE Keeneland September Yearling Sale Thursday in Lexington were anything but >fall=-ing. With fully two days of bidding yet to come, gross receipts surged past the $300-million mark for the first time since 2008, when the turnover was nearly $328 million. The catalog for that particular sale of 5,555 yearlings was better than 25% bigger than the 4,139 booked for this year=s event. As has been reported, the new format of the 2017 sale render strict comparisons somewhat difficult, but during the corresponding final Book 5 session--the 11th session overall--in 2016, a single horse crossed the $100,000 threshold. Further amplifying the buoyancy of the 2017 September sale, no fewer than a dozen offerings hit that mark Thursday. Cont. p5 (click)

Saying that he=s unhappy with the prices paid for the offspring Click or tap here to go straight to TDN Europe. of Kitten=s Joy (El Prado {Ire}) at the Keeneland September sale, owner Ken Ramsey said Thursday he is in the process of making plans that will lead to his star sire standing next year in Europe and finishing out his stallion career overseas. Ramsey said he believed that Kitten=s Joy, who is known primarily for producing top-class turf horses, will fare better on a continent where the vast majority of the races are run on the grass. Ramsey told the Thoroughbred Daily News that he is in the process of finding a European breeding farm to go in with him as a partner, and if the right deal can be struck, Kitten=s Joy will soon be on his way across the Atlantic. AYou don=t know how determined a fellow I can be, and this is what I want to do,@ he said. AWhen I get it in my head to do something, I get it accomplished. I think there=s a 90% chance that we=ll be able to strike a good deal with someone over there and that he will be sent to Europe.@ Twenty-eight Kitten=s Joys have sold at Keeneland for a gross of $3,205,000 and an average of $114,464. In 2017, his yearlings are averaging $113,305, according to TDN Sales Statistics, well below other sires in his stud fee range, he pointed out.

Kitten=s Joy to Europe? cont. AHe is the most underappreciated sire in North America,@ Ramsey said. AI am disgusted at what those horses sold for at Keeneland. He is the number-one living sire in North America, yet people here just aren=t interested in buying his yearlings. All the good ones are being bought by Europeans as it is, so that=s another reason to send him over there. I understand why. People here with the Grade I-winning mares want to breed to Tapit and the top commercial dirt sires. And those are the horses people are willing to pay the big money for. AFor him, it=s time for a fresh start and a new chapter in his career,@ he said. AHe=s peaked over here. It=s time to try something new.@ Ramsey said he had resisted sending Kitten=s Joy to Europe in the past because he is Aa family pet.@ He said he would insist that any farm standing him in Europe does not shuttle him to the Southern Hemisphere and that he be returned to Ramsey Farm once retired as a stallion. AI know money is what makes the world go around, but I=m not going to do this for the money,@ he said. AI want to do it for the horse because he deserves a fair Ken Ramsey | Coady Photography chance to show what he can really do as a stallion. I think over there people with the very best mares will be eager to breed to him.@ Currently standing at Ramsey Farm in Nicholasville, Kentucky, Kitten=s Joy=s stud fee is $100,000. Ramsey said he believed it should be lowered if he is moved to Europe, saying he felt something in the area of $70,000 in local currency would be a good fit. AI think at that price, he can get a full book of quality mares,@ he said. AIf someone over there tells me they think he should stand for more money, I will listen.@ Though Kitten=s Joy traditionally has had large books, producing 173 reported live foals in 2017, Ramsey pointed out that he owns many of the mares that are bred to Kitten=s Joy which limits the income he receives for standing him at stud. Kitten=s Joy, who is 16, is the leading active sire in North America, as well as the number one turf sire, according to TDN Sire Lists. With nine crops to race, Kitten=s Joy has had three champions, 11 Grade I winners, and his progeny have earned in excess of $73 million.

2017 FOAL CROP EQUAL TO LAST YEAR=S NUMBER By Bill Finley The Jockey Club is estimating that when the final tally is concluded, the 2017 North American foal crop will consist of 22,500 horses. That is the same number estimated for the 2016 foal crop. The report is a sign of some welcome stability to the breeding industry, as the last time the foal crop did not decline was 2005, when there were 38,365 foals. Other highlights from The Jockey Club=s annual breeding statistics report:

$ Uncle Mo was the most popular sire regarding number of mares bred. He was bred to 256 mares with 207 live foals reported so far. He fell just short of the number of mares bred the previous year to Scat Daddy (258), which is believed to be a record. Kitten=s Joy was next, having been bred to 224 mares, four more than Into Mischief. Having breed bred to 208 mares, American Pharoah was the only other stallion to top the 200 mark.

Partridge said the Kitten=s Joys bred to Ramsey mares will be sold privately to owners in the Southern Hemisphere. Tapit was bred to 14 mares on Southern Hemisphere time.

$ The breeding business in Maryland is booming. The Jockey Club estimates there will be 500 Maryland-bred foals from the foal crop of 2017, a 21.7% increase over 2016. Maryland was the only state where the breeding industry saw more than a modest increase. Kentucky and Ontario were the only other states or provinces that showed an increase in number of mares Uncle Mo covered 256 mares in 2016 | Coolmore photo bred.

$ The New Jersey breeding industry is barely hanging on. There were only 32 mares bred in the state in 2016. In 2002, that number was 456.

FRIDAY, 22 SEPTEMBER, 2017

Following a strong start to the yearling sales around the world BOOK 1 TO DAZZLE FROM in 2017, and with Tattersalls having recruited a stellar cast for its flagship event, the company's marketing director Jimmy George START TO FINISH is in an understandably optimistic mood as the clock ticks down to Book 1 and the start of a fortnight of trade in Newmarket. Over the last four years, Book 1 has consistently posted an average well in excess of 200,000gns, while last year's sale broke new ground in setting a record for turnover of just over 88 million gns. "Book 1 is regarded as Europe's number one yearling sale but even by Book 1 standards I think this year's catalogue is out of the ordinary," George says. "Certainly the feedback that we've received suggests that's the case. The sire power is massive but the female sides of the pedigrees are very deep indeed. The quality of stallions available to breeders in Europe is very strong at the moment and Book 1 is proving to be an extraordinary showcase for some of the best stallions in the world.@ The Tattersalls ring will light up for Book 1 | racingfotos.com Cont. p2

Within the first seven horses through the ring on stallion career. Click or tap here to go straight to TDN America. Oct. 3 can be found a son of the Grade I winner I'm A Dreamer (Ire) (Noverre) (lot 2) and a full-brother to Group 1 winner Johannes Vermeer (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) (lot 7). And, in the perfect example of saving the best 'til last, the final horse to walk that famous circle as dusk falls on Thursday, Oct. 5 will be none other than a son of the fabled Galileo (Ire), Camas Park Stud's full-brother to Highland Reel (Ire) and Idaho (Ire). As lot 502, he looks set to bring the curtain down in dramatic style on three frenetic days of action at Park Paddocks. But don't plan on leaving your seats too frequently for the intervening lots, either. There are a total of 146 yearlings from the seven leading stallions in Europe--Galileo (Ire), Dubawi (Ire), Dark Angel (Ire), Invincible Spirit (Ire), Sea The Stars (Ire), Acclamation (GB) and Frankel (GB)--as well as 30 daughters of Group 1 winners on offer. Furthermore, Book 1 heralds the start of the significant Ballymacoll Dispersal, with five yearlings set to go under the hammer at the end of the first day. Another four will be auctioned during Book 2 Oct. 9 to 11. TDN EUROPE/INTERNATIONAL • PAGE 2 OF 15 • THETDN.COM FRIDAY • 22 SEPTEMBER, 2017

Book 1 To Dazzle From Start To Finish Cont. from p1 AAs well as the acknowledged names of Galileo, Dubawi, Dark Angel, Invincible Spirit, Sea The Stars and Frankel--and they are all world-class stallions by any standards--the first-crop sires are a smart-looking bunch as well,@ George said. Numerically, the best represented are Australia (GB) and Kingman (GB), who are going to be very high on a lot of people's lists as they were both outstanding racehorses in their own right and they have some very smart yearlings to represent them in their first crops." Book 1 has enjoyed some encouraging results on the track this season, notably from some of the leading lights of last year. Two Dubawi colts--sons of the Group 1 winners Fallen For You (GB) (Dansili {GB}) and Zee Zee Top (GB) (Zafonic)--shared top billing last year at 2.6 million gns. Fallen For You's colt, bred by Normandie Stud and named Glorious Journey (GB), is now unbeaten in two starts for Godolphin and Charlie Appleby, his most recent victory coming in the G3 Prix la Rochette. Meanwhile, the Meon Valley Stud-bred colt out of Prix de l'Opera winner Zee Zee Top has been named Emaraaty (GB) and has made one eye-catching appearance for Sheikh Hamdan when overcoming a bad draw and slow start to run home strongly for fourth in a Sandown maiden. Another of Shadwell's purchases at last year's Book 1, Elarqam (GB), the Frankel colt out of dual Classic winner Attraction (GB) (Efisio {GB}) who cost 1.6 million gns, scored decisively on debut at York on Sept. 10 for his dam's former trainer Mark Johnston. Buyers have been clamouring for the final yearlings of Scat His breeder the Duke of Roxburghe will offer his Dubawi Daddy this season and there are two chances to secure one at half-brother through Floors Stud as lot 347.

"And of course it's good to have seen some of the 1000 Guineas winner Trusted Partner, offered by Glenvale Stud. more expensive horses from last year performing really promisingly." Gerry Burke of Glidawn Stud has long been a fan of shopping in America and his Book 1 draft also includes a filly from the first crop of Frankel's brother Noble Mission (GB) (lot 47) out of a Shinko Forest (Ire) half-sister to the five-time Group/Grade 1 winner Cape Blanco (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}). She is one of three yearlings by the Lane's End stallion in Book 1.

"It's crucial that Book 1 is regularly producing top 2-year-olds as well as the Classic performers these days and that's a message that's been taken on board.@

Book 1 To Dazzle From Start To Finish Cont. "The quality of the fillies in the catalogue is truly exceptional-- there are 30 out of Group 1 winners and some of these are first foals out of very serious race fillies," George says. "In that respect, if you're looking for a future foundation mare, it's the best opportunity you'll have for a long time, especially with the weakness of the sterling making it extra appealing for overseas buyers." Those regally bred fillies include a rare yearling sale appearance for a James Wigan homebred. The breeder is renowned for the success of his West Blagdon Stud draft at the Vice President, International Operations December Foal Sale, but he has opted to sell the first foal of his Gary King GI Breeders' Cup Filly & Mare Turf winner Dank (GB) (Dansili Twitter: @garykingTDN [email protected] {GB}) through Norris Bloodstock.

In the days before he won four Group 1 races, Postponed (Ire) (Dubawi {Ire}) was the subject of a rare collusion between two leading bloodstock agents, Charlie Gordon-Watson and John Warren, who were listed as his joint-buyers after going to 300,000gns to secure the son of Dubawi for Sheikh Mohammed Obaid.

Chance for a Book 1 Bonus... In 2015, Tattersalls introduced the Book 1 Bonus Scheme for all graduates of its premier sale, which offers the chance to win an extra ,25,000 on top of a maiden victory. The tally of winners currently stands at 74, meaning that a total of ,1,850,000 of extra prize-money has been distributed so far through the scheme. "This is a huge incentive for owners at every level of the market to want to buy in Book 1. The horses who have won bonuses so far haven't all cost vast sums of money. Well over half of the bonus winners have cost ,100,000 or less," says Jimmy George. Click here to hear Jimmy George discuss the Book 1 Bonus. Mark Johnston-trained runners have benefitted from a number of bonus wins, and they include the G3 Princess Margaret S. winner Nyaleti (Arch), who was bought for 40,000gns last year. Nick Bradley Racing won two bonuses in two days courtesy of Klosters (Ire) (Kodiac {GB}), a 45,000gns purchase, and Lynn's Memory (Ire) (Acclamation {GB}), who cost 40,000gns. George adds, "It's great to see so many syndicates winning the bonuses--for example the Windmill Racing team, which has Shepherd Market with Clive Cox. She cost 22,000gns and won ,37,000 when she won her maiden."

End Of An Era At Ballymacoll... As trade draws to a close on the first day of Book 1, racing historians and breeding buffs alike will have pause to reflect on the significant impact to the sport made during the Weinstock family's tenure at Ballymacoll Stud.

The first to come to market is a daughter of the champion racemare Islington (Ire) (Sadler's Wells) by Sea The Stars (Ire) (lot 167), followed by a daughter of Kingman (lot 168) who enjoyed a good update last week when her 2-year-old half-sister Aim Of Artemis (Ire) (Leroidesanimaux {Brz}) won at Leicester for Sir Michael Stoute. Click here for a video preview of the Ballymacoll dispersal. "We work very hard to attract people to the sale from around the world and we feel there's plenty to encourage major buyers throughout Book 1," says Jimmy George. "The first wave of the Ballymacoll dispersal comes in Book 1, which marks the start of one of the most anticipated dispersals in the world from an outfit which has been outperforming its relatively small numbers for five decades now. It's a unique opportunity and so many of these families are still very current. That's an exciting moment in itself."

A Rock Of Gibraltar (Ire) colt from the esteemed Aga Khan Stud family of Shahrastani and this year=s G2 Blandford S. winner Shamreen (Ire) (Dubawi {Ire}) (lot 630) was the top-priced lot at i60,000. The half-brother to two winners from four to race from the dam was bought from Knockatrina Stud by EP Horse, whose representative Pat Moyles said, "He was our pick today, he was a stand out. He's a fine, scopey colt. We have paid a little more than anticipated, but let's hope he's lucky. He is for an existing client to race in Ireland." Two more yearlings crossed the i50,000 mark during the session. The first was a colt from the first crop of Xtension (Ire) (lot 527) who is a half to four winners. Willie Browne signed the ticket at i58,000 as Jamie B Bloodstock. He was offered by Rathbarry Stud, which stands the sire.
