  • Leilão Treinamento –
    ÚLTIMA ETAPA DA LIQUIDAÇÃO – 08 DE MAIO TATTERSALL DE CIDADE JARDIM – SÃO PAULO 30 anos de Seleção. Turfistas, como você ! Este leilão é a etapa final de nossa liquidação de plantel, uma síntese dos resultados de 3 décadas de muito trabalho. Ao longo destes anos, sempre que nos foi possível fazer algum investimento, optamos pelo PSI, em detrimento de gado, imóveis ou de outros ativos. Escolhemos este rumo pelo fato de atuarmos profissionalmente nesta área, por se tratar de receitas oriundas do cavalo, mas principalmente por sermos acima de tudo turfistas. Não é por acaso que nossa criação já está na letra “S”. Nosso plantel é, portanto, um resumo (melhorado ao longo do tempo) do que resultou dos leilões que organizamos, de modo que nos apraz a satisfação de termos devolvido ao turfe um pouco do muito que ele nos proporcionou. Desde o início das atividades da TBS, em 1984, sempre fizemos questão de atuar também “do outro lado do balcão”. Nossa primeira defensora foi a égua em treinamento Van Fabel, da geração 1979, adquirida junto ao extinto (e célebre) Haras Palmital, uma filha de Riboson em mãe Cigal. De lá para cá, ininterruptamente, entre produtos em corrida, éguas, desmamados e cotas de garanhões, compramos mais de 150 animais, que nos proporcionaram êxitos (inclusive de Grupo) nos 4 hipódromos oficiais do Brasil, além de 2 vitórias em Dubai, performances em provas de Grupo 1 no Tarumã, Cidade Jardim e na Gávea, clássico em recorde em Uvaranas, e atuações nos USA, no Uruguai e em “pencas”. Nos orgulhamos muito disso, desta nossa efetiva participação no turfe e na criação.

  • Whirlaway by Kathleen Jones
    Whirlaway by Kathleen Jones Whirlaway was an oddball to say the least, but he was brilliant. In his debut race at age 2, he ran straight to the outside rail and followed it all the way around the track - and still won. In the Saratoga Special, he nearly fell at the start, thus spotting his rivals many lengths. He was still trailing the field when he bore out on the final turn, and followed the outside rail, close to the crowd, all the way up the homestretch to what was an unbelievable victory. Trainer Ben Jones certainly had his hands full trying to straighten out this colt. For the Derby, Jones brought in the "Master" jockey Eddie Arcaro to insure the best possible ride. He also had a few tricks up his sleeve. In the saddling enclosure, he took a knife and cut away part of the inside blinker, allowing Whirlaway to see the inside rail better, but not the crowd or the outside rail. Prior to race, he walked Whirlaway all the way around the track near the inside rail, just to show him where it was. Then he walked the colt back and forth in front of the huge crowd to get him used to the noise of it. Whirlaway typically began slowly in his races, preferring to make one big run. In the Derby, the opening fractions were set by a well-regarded King Ranch colt named Dispose. Porter's Cap and Blue Pair were in hot pursuit, while Whirlaway lagged near the back. After a half mile, he had worked his way up to 8th in the 11 runner field.
