F-T JULY YEARLING SALE TUESDAY JULY FIREWORKS AT by Jessica Martini FASIG-TIPTON The Fasig-Tipton July Selected Yearlings Sale, the first yearling sale of the season, will be held Tuesday in Lexington, with bidding slated to begin at Newtown Paddocks at 10 a.m. AI think there is great interest and enthusiasm as we head into the yearling sales,@ said Fasig-Tipton President Boyd Browning, Jr. AWe saw an overall strong marketplace throughout the 2-year-old sales. The general economy continues to be pretty strong. There seems to be good interest and good momentum on the racing front. So I am optimistic. I don=t think we=re going to have any dramatic explosions in the marketplace or any sensational uptick. But I think it will be very healthy and I think it will be very strong. Buyers will be enthusiastic, but they won=t bid with reckless abandon and they will be selective on what they decide to bid on.@ A total of 300 yearlings have been catalogued for the one- session auction.

Fasig-Tipton July Yearlings Preview cont.

Browning Jr. continued, ASo I think they will be very well- received in the marketplace. And it certainly doesn=t hurt with the young sires that the last two Kentucky Derby winners were by first-crop sires.@ In 2016, 183 yearlings grossed $15,756,500. The average of $86,101 fell 11.8% from 2015, while the $60,000 median was down 22.1%. A colt by Curlin brought the sale=s highest price last year, selling for $475,000 to Harley/DeRenzo Thoroughbreds. Returned to the sales ring at Timonium this May, the colt resold for $1.5 million. In addition, to that recent headline-making pinhooking success, the July sale has also produced graduates like last year=s GI Del Mar Futurity winner Klimt (Quality Road) and GI Cigar Mile winner Connect (Curlin). AI think success always helps, whether it=s success on the racetrack or success in the resell arena,@ Browning said. ASo the Curlin colt is certainly something that folks noticed, just like they know that horses like Klimt and Connect came out of this sale. Success always helps.@

WHAT THEY=RE SAYING... AI=m optimistic about the yearling sales. I think that we=ve been through a few years of increasing polarization. It seems like every stop on the sales calendar just gets more and more polarized, where there is a very, very narrow bulls eye and if you hit it, then you do great, but if you don=t, there is a long way to fall. And if you have one of the lower horses, there is just nobody. It=s very hard to even find a home for the horse. What I=ve seen at the 2-year-old sales and talking to pinhookers that were down there, I think that there was more of a middle market at the 2-year-old sales, it was still polarized, but it was a little better. And I=m thinking it=s because the stockmarket is doing so well and the economy seems to be jump started a little bit, and I just think a lot of people around the country that are businesspeople kind of got out of the business after the Great Recession. People who used to come to the yearling sales and maybe buy three or four every year, they weren=t the biggest names on the results sheet, but they were people who would buy three or four in the $50-100,000 and that was their deal. There were a lot of those people who disappeared over the last six or seven years. And I=ve gotten a few phone calls from people I hadn=t heard from in a long time saying, I=m thinking of maybe coming down there and shopping, I=ll be looking for you. It=s very anecdotal evidence, but my gut feeling is that we could have a little better year than we had last year.@ Mark Taylor, Taylor Made Sales

Fasig-Tipton Summer HORA Sale cont. AMedallion Racing was an offshoot of the experience we had with California Chrome and Cathryn Sophia, who we bought into last year,@ explained Mark Taylor. AWe just saw that buying into proven horses that can run in high-level graded stakes was a great way to get new people in the business. Because if you go buy an unproven horse, it=s still a great experience, but you might go through a lot of partnerships and never get to the promised land. I think this will be like training wheels for people to get in, see what it=s like to own a graded stakes horse. And then figure out if it=s something they want to pursue on their own. We=re just trying to get our own vehicle so when we meet people and they ask how do we get into the racing game, our answer used to be, >Well, we don=t really do that.= And we always meet a ton of people, so we wanted to have a vehicle to get people in and then hopefully they go on and do business with other people too. And it=s just good for the game.@ Campaigned by VEB Racing Stable, Distinta (hip 423) captured the GII Inside Information S. at Gulfstream Park in March (video). The 5-year-old, who was an $80,000 OBS March purchase in 2014, returned to run a strong second in the July 1 GII Princess Rooney S. (video). She is out of the unraced Miss Kitty (Storm Cat), a half-sister to multiple graded stakes placed Gold Dollar (Seattle Slew).

The mare=s current graded stakes form was her major attraction to Medallion Racing. ABasically we are looking for instant access to graded stakes races,@ Taylor said. AWe have bought some horses coming off maiden wins, but we=re tryng to get asset allocation where you have some that are coming off maiden wins, but the bulk of them we want to know that they are going to run in a graded stakes very soon. These guys have done a great job campaigning Distinta. It=s not going to be easy to sustain what they=ve done, but we=re going to give it a shot and hopefully have a lot of fun in the process.@ Medallion Racing, which is also represented by Noble Freud (Freud), who was third in Sunday=s GIII Victory Ride S. at Belmont, teamed with three other longtime Taylor Made clients to secure Distinta. No trainer has been picked out for the mare and long-term plans remain flexible. AThis particular group for Medallion doesn=t close out until the end of 2018, so the door is open that she could run a few races early next spring and then we could breed her or we could sell her in November,@ Taylor said. ASo the door is open to many options.@ Distinta=s victory in the Inside Information gave Victor Barboza, Jr. his first graded stakes win in the United States and the trainer admitted it was bittersweet to watch the chestnut mare sell.

LISTEN LOUD AND CLEAR AT SELECT SALE THE WEEKLY WRAP by Kelsey Riley HOKKAIDO, Japan--The regally bred G1 Fillies= Mile winner Listen (Ire) (Sadler=s Wells) produced the sale-topping yearling at the 2014 Select Sale when David Redvers signed at -260 million for the son of Deep Impact (Jpn) that is now named New World Power (Jpn) and is in training in Britain with David Simcock. The 12-year-old mare was again the dam of the JRHA Select Sale=s top-priced yearling on Monday when New World Power=s full- brother fetched -270 million (US$2,364,189/£1,837,738 /€2,075,936/A$3,113,937) from the partnership of prominent Japanese owner Hajime Satomi and Big Red Farm. AThere were two yearlings I really liked today, and the other was scratched,@ explained Satomi. AI thought I might get him for -230 million, but the market is so hot. He is a horse that my trainer, Yasutoshi Ikee, and my advisor, Yasuo Ikee, both really Sir Michael Stoute & Sir Henry Cecil | Racing Post liked.@ Cont. p2 by Emma Berry When horses finish as closely tied as Ulysses (Ire) (Galileo IN TDN AMERICA TODAY {Ire}) and Barney Roy (Ire) (Excelebration {Ire}) did in Saturday's DISTINTA TOPS FASIG-TIPTON SUMMER HORA SALE G1 Coral Eclipse S., so often a dead-heat seems the fairest Grade II winner Distinta (Summer Bird) fetched a final bid of result. In this case, however, there were a number of factors $600,000 to top Monday’s Fasig-Tipton Summer Horses of Racing that had me longing for the number four to be called when the Age Sale in Lexington, Kentucky. Click or tap here to go straight to judge gave his verdict. TDN America. Jim Crowley's not just a really decent man but an excellent jockey and when the reigning champion is jocked-off a horse for no apparent reason, as he was from Eminent (Ire) (Frankel {GB}), it's hard not to take umbrage on his part. As it transpired, riding Ulysses instead was clearly no hardship. Rather more pertinently, there's always pleasure to be taken when the old >breeding the best to the best' maxim is applied successfully, so a Group 1 winner by a Derby winner out of an Oaks winner is cause for celebration. Ulysses may have been Galileo's 66th Group 1 winner, but he is Light Shift's first. The daughter of Kingmambo, from one of the best dynasties of the Niarchos family's breeding empire, played a significant part in the resurgence of Sir Henry Cecil's career long before Frankel (GB) came along. Her victory in the 2007 Oaks--the eighth win in the fillies' Classic for her trainer--had even the most flint-hearted of racing correspondents pretending to have a fly in their eye as three cheers rang out twice around Epsom for Cecil's return to the big time after several years in the wilderness.

Had he still been alive, Cecil would likely be training Ulysses, but four years after his death it is his former great friend and rival Sir Michael Stoute who has that honour. There is further pleasing symmetry in the result in that Cecil sent out the first of his four Eclipse winners, Wolver Hollow (GB) (Sovereign Path {GB}), in 1969 from Freemason Lodge, once the bastion of Cecil's stepfather, the former champion trainer Captain Cecil Boyd Rochfort, and now for many years the base from which Stoute has primed numerous top-class horses, including six Eclipse winners of his own, starting with Opera House (GB) (Sadler's Wells) in 1993.

Plenty of credit for Thunder Snow's talent must go to his dam Eastern Joy (GB) (Dubai Destination), a daughter of the Swettenham Stud-bred G2 Sun Chariot S. winner Red Slippers (Nureyev), who raced initially for Robert Sangster before being bought by Sheikh Mohammed.
