Bernick, speaking at Keeneland this week during the September Yearling Sale, said he plans to concentrate his racing stable in the U.S. for the foreseeable future, but he admitted acquiring European and other international bloodlines has become an important aspect of his business plan. He has done so by buying a handful of racehorses, foals and yearlings privately and bringing them back to the U.S., as well as sending mares to Ireland to be covered by the likes of (Ire) and his Classic-winning son Gleneagles (Ire). I think pedigrees are global and buyers are global now,@ Bernick said. AHaving been to Australia and to Europe, I think the only market that doesn=t think internationally is probably the U.S. So many of the pedigrees work here, and sometimes being able to breed to horses like Galileo and Gleneagles, horses that have worked here--Gleneagles, at least, with his female family through Giant=s Causeway--I think really adds an appeal to this market that maybe some other people don=t necessarily have.@ Cont. p2 TDN EUROPE/INTERNATIONAL • PAGE 2 OF 11 • THETDN.COM THURSDAY • 15 SEPTEMBER, 2016

BOOK 1: STRONG FINISH KEESEP BOOK 1 ENDS by Bill Oppenheim WITH A BANG In our column of August 24 (click here), we postulated that if 60% of the 607 yearlings catalogued in Keeneland September Book 1 sold for an average of $300,000--approximately the Book 1 average in 2014-2015--our target for the Book 1 gross was $111-million. As there were 117 fewer yearlings (16%) catalogued in Book 1, we were projecting a $23-million decline in the Book 1 gross. After the first two days--$34.5-million for 108 sold Monday and $38-million for 119 sold on Tuesday, for a two-day average of $319,000, and one seven-figure yearling each day B it looked like the $111-million figure was likely to be close to the mark. Then came Wednesday--whole different sale.

Wayne Hughes, whose Spendthrift Farm owns both of $3 million sale-topper Hip 454=s star half-siblings, Beholder (Henny Hughes) and Into Mischief (Harlan=s Holiday), was clearly disappointed to have lost out to Coolmore on the colt.

You can see what he went for. He=s what we are all hoping for, a yearling looking like that. He has Beholder=s head. He is a nice horse.@ B.

AI just had butterflies,@ an emotional Mitchell said while standing with his daughters outside of the pavillion. AI was very surprised [by price].

If you go back and look at her pictures as a yearling when we had her out here, the conformation is so much [alike]. The head and the eye are almost identical. His [head] might be just a little bit shorter head than hers and a little bit wider between the eyes, but the stride, the hindquarters and the back legs were almost identical.

A total of 346 were sold--almost 100 Coolmore Ashford=s Shanghai Bobby had fewer than the 443 sold last year--for a total of $120,225,000, so the highest average, which was $412,500 with two sold, only a 10% drop in gross, as the average for those sold (22% including a spectacular $575,000 colt sold by Padraig Campion fewer than last year) rose 15%, from $303,072 in 2015, to on Tuesday.

“Wednesday’s $47-million rally limited the decline in the Book 1 gross to $14-million rather than the projected $23-million.
