KEENELAND JANUARY SALE THOUSAND WORDS RETIRED TO SPENDTHRIFT STARTS MONDAY Thousand Words (Pioneerof the Nile--Pomeroy=s Pistol, by Pomeroy) has been retired from racing and will begin stud duties this year at B. Wayne Hughes=s Spendthrift Farm. The 4-year-old, a $1-million Keeneland September purchase, campaigned by Spendthrift and Albaugh Family Stables and was trained by Bob Baffert. He won the 2019 GII Los Alamitos Futurity and 2020 GIII Robert B. Lewis S. and Shared Belief S. He was also second in the GIII Los Alamitos Derby. Thousand Words retires with four wins and a second from nine starts and earnings of $327,500. AThousand Words is a horse we have been high on since the day we partnered with the Albaugh family to buy him at the Keeneland September sale,@ said Ned Toffey, Spendthrift general manager.

AI think the November sale was similar to the September market,@ said Keeneland=s Director of Sales Operations Geoffrey Russell. AIn September, we were very apprehensive going into the second week about where we were going to be and it worked out very well. And it was the same in the November sale. We were worried about the middle and lower-end markets and they stood up very well. We hope all that continues on in January.@ The three dispersals in the January catalogue figure to increase interest in the auction.

Keeneland January Sale Starts Monday (cont. from p1) AI think it will be a slightly different January sale as we=ve got three very nice dispersals in here,@ Russell said. AObviously, we=d prefer they weren=t dispersing, but if they had to, we are glad they are doing it with us.@ The Sam-Son Farm dispersal features 21 in-foal broodmares, all of whom were paraded before prospective buyers Saturday morning at Keeneland. The dispersal of the late Paul Pompa, which is being handled by the Lane=s End consignment, includes 39 broodmares, yearlings, broodmare and stallion prospects and horses of racing age. The dispersal continued to generate updates as sale time approached, with homebred Carillo (Union Rags) tabbed a =TDN Rising Star= with a debut win at Aqueduct Friday. Both the sophomore (hip 1556) and his dam, Proper Mad (Bernardini) (hip 793), will be offered at Keeneland this week. The Spry dispersal with Hill >n= Dale Sales Agency, agent, cataloged 46 broodmares and broodmare prospects, yearlings and racing prospects. AThe Sam-Son horses had a nice show this morning and the Pompa horses seem to be doing very well on the racetrack,@ said Russell. ASo that is all very positive. Quality dispersals, as these are, bring in more people.@ The January sale will be the third auction at which Keeneland will offer buyers the opportunity to bid on-line. It is an option, first necessitated by the coronavirus pandemic and ensuing travel restrictions, which continues to grow in popularity. AWe have the same system set up and we expect it to continue to be very popular,@ Keeneland President Shannon Arvin said of the internet bidding. AIt opens up a lot of doors.@ Russell added, AI think, of all the things we have done because of COVID, I think the internet bidding is definitely something that is here to stay. I think as each sale has gone on--not just ours, but at other sales companies, as well--I think buyers are getting more comfortable with it.@ The Keeneland January sale continues through Thursday with each session beginning at 10 a.m.

Thousand Words Retired to Spendthrift (cont. from p1) Toffey continued, AHe was forward from the day he started training in Ocala, and Bob Baffert told us pretty early on that Thousand Words was a Derby horse. He was an undefeated Los Al Futurity winner at two and beat Honor A. P. in a final Derby prep race at three. Thousand Words is a terrific package and will greatly complement our stallion roster, especially at his price point. We think breeders are really going to like everything he has to offer as an exciting young stallion prospect.@ Cont. p4 TDN HEADLINE NEWS • PAGE 4 OF 10 • THETDN.COM MONDAY • JANUARY 11, 2021

Thousand Words will be part of Spendthrift=s AShare the Upside@ program. The Share The Upside fee for Thousand Words will be $10,000 for one year. Breeders must breed a mare in 2022 on a complimentary basis. After the breeder has a live foal in 2022, pays the stud fee, and breeds a mare back, he or she will earn a lifetime breeding right beginning in 2023.

For breeders not interested in the Share The Upside program, Thousand Words will be offered for $7,500 on a standard stands and nurses contract. Thousand Words is now available for inspection at Spendthrift by appointment only.

FROM TDN LOOK: WHILE THE HORSES ARE AWAY by Katie Ritz It=s three days before Christmas, a time when most young Americans can be lounging on the couch binging on Netflix and cookies, but Merlin Cano is busy on the backside of Churchill Downs. Most of the trainers have already packed up and headed for warmer climates. A few trucks roll by carrying used straw or unused hay, remnants of the hive of activity this backstretch was just a few weeks ago. All is quiet for now, but Merlin knows there is still much to be done. Merlin is a member of the team at the Backside Learning Center (BLC)--an organization located on the Churchill Downs backside that serves as a resource center for the equine backstretch community, providing educational programs and services and promoting community amongst the backstretch workers and their families.
