  • With a Well-Received First-Crop of Yearlings for Heeraat, Mickley Stud Is Looking Forward to the Stallion’S Runners Hitting the Track in the Spring
    Here he comes With a well-received first-crop of yearlings for Heeraat, Mickley Stud is looking forward to the stallion’s runners hitting the track in the spring. Aisling Crowe chats with Richard Kent 48 mickley stud Photo by Emma Berry LL BOODSTOCK investment IS HIGH RISK, but backing a new stallion is at the very top of the “beware” pyramid and should come with a government health warning.A Launching a new stallion onto the market takes nerves of steel, and particularly so when the stud in question is not perhaps located in the more fashionable enclaves of the thoroughbred world and the sire does not command the astronomical covering fee that attracts the attention, and mares, of the industry’s influencers. The process is fraught with as much risk as that of a space launch. Luckily, Richard Kent of Mickley Stud possesses the pedigree, experience and nous which have helped him guide the first three seasons of Heeraat toward lift-off, the son of Dark Angel due to have his first runners next spring, The process is also aided by Heeraat himself, a talented sprinter from a fast family, and by a sire who is establishing himself as a dominant force in the breed. “It has taken 25 years to try and understand how to get a stallion’s career going and to develop the confidence to do it,” confides the Cork-born Kent who runs the stud in Shropshire with his partner Claire Lloyd. “I spoke to Tony O’Callaghan about how he had achieved success with Danetime, Kodiac, and now Society Rock and he said you just have to keep working away, even though you can be unlucky and get average horses until one day the good ones come along.” Danetime and Kodiac began life at similar fees to the £4,000 that Heeraat has stood at for his first three seasons.

His son, trainer Marty Jones, said his father had been in hospice care and died of natural causes. He was 76. AHe was an amazing person, first and foremost,@ his son said. AFor me, that=s the most important thing.

  • John Oxx by Donn Mcclean
    John Oxx By Donn McClean Irish Oaks day 1960, a young boy, just days short of his 10th birthday, climbs the stand at The Curragh. It is the old stand on the far side of the winning post, the one where the `ordinary' folk tend to congregate, and the balcony at the top is packed, but John Oxx is able to squeeze and squirm his way through the bodies to gain a good vantage point at the front. There are major benefits to being 10. John's father, also John, has two fillies in the Oaks, Azurine and Lynchris, but it is Lynchris who is the focus of the boy's interest. Bought by his father himself, she has the potential to be top class, and she has a favourite's chance of landing a first Irish Oaks, a first Classic, for trainer John Oxx. It is a gloomy day, and young John peers intently up the straight into the murk, no big screen in front of him, no small screens behind him, just a pair of naked eyes and a heart that races. And then he sees her, first a grey blur then a vivid picture of grace, Lynchris and Australian Bill Williamson emerging from the mist, clear of their field. Truth be told, the youngster doesn't see another horse, and Lynchris has an easy six lengths in hand at the line. Some 48 years on, and the Oxx association with the Irish Oaks remains constant. Lynchris was the first of four winners of the Classic for Oxx senior and, although there was a 30-year lull without an official Oxx Oaks victory after Pampalina's win in 1967, normal service was resumed with victory for Ebadiyla in 1997, and continued when Winona landed the Classic the following year.

  • BROODMARE ANALYSIS REPORT a Broodmare’S Nicking Analysis with up to 50 Potential Stallions
    COMPILED SPECIFICALLY FOR Tempo BROODMARE ANALYSIS REPORT A broodmare’s nicking analysis with up to 50 potential stallions Copyright © 2011 The Jockey Club Information Systems, Inc. BROODMARE ANALYSIS REPORT TrueNicks: An Explanation Nicks in History Compatibilities between stallions from one sire line with mares of another sire line has helped shape the breed since the Eclipse/Herod cross of the late 18th century. These successful crosses, called nicks, have impacted Thoroughbred development through such examples as Hermit/Stockwell, Lexington/Glencoe, Bend Or/Macaroni, and Phalaris/Chaucer. In the modern era, the prolific Mr. Prospector/Northern Dancer cross has produced outstanding racehorses and sires such as Kingmambo, Distorted Humor, and Elusive Quality. Fast-Forward to the 21st Century Computer databases have made it possible to measure and rate nicks, giving rise to a commercial market for such statistics. The first nick ratings offered to the public, though popular, were compromised by incomplete data and yielded results based on hypothetical rather than actual opportunity. This statistical gap was the impetus behind the development of TrueNicks. A Statistically Valid Approach Unlike other ratings that are calculated based on hypothetical opportunity within a limited group of horses, TrueNicks references the international database of The Jockey Club—the world’s most complete record of Thoroughbreds and their performance—to produce a sophisticated rating based on all starters and stakes winners on a given cross. The Statistics The TrueNicks rating is derived from two statistical elements: the Sire Improvement Index (SII) and the Broodmare Sire Improvement Index (BSII). Each figure compares the percentage of progeny stakes winners to starters.
