Backed at odds of 5-2, the dark bay broke sharply and vied for the early lead through an opening quarter of :22.20.

FROM THE DESK OF... Bill Oppenheim 23 SIRES: THE PRICE IS RIGHT Value, value, value: that has to be the watchword of the year. It=s not much help now to say it should always be the watchword anyway. When the pendulum swings toward proven sires, there will be good value to be had gambling on unproven sires--emphasis on gambling, though. But the best value, relatively speaking of course, must still be proven sires if you can get them at the right price. This week: 23 proven sires (with APEX ratings, so had at least three-year-olds of 2008). There were three requirements to make this list, which is 23 sires but actually has 30 names on it (I=ll explain). First requirement is that the sire has to stand for no more than $20,000 (or Sterling/Euro equivalent), preferably less--16 of the 23 in fact stand for $12,500 or less. I=m not even saying those are great bargains; it=s still a lot of money if all you=re doing is breeding a $20,000 yearling. But, in the universe of actual proven useful sires, these are the sires with the best numbers at the lowest prices. The second requirement was that the sire absolutely had to have an ABC Index of 1.30 or higher--preferably 1.50, which at least is 12 percent of runners. I would still leave them on in that borderline 1.30--1.50 zone, as I didn=t consider it a disqualifying weakness; 18 of An extreme case is Muhtathir, who had Grade I win- the 23 did have indexes of 1.50 and higher.

Bill Oppenheim cont. Alphabet Soup, who defeated Louis Quatorze and Cigar in the 1996 GI Breeders= Cup Classic, is by Cozzene, and is a complete outcross for Native Dancer and Northern Dancer. Though his overall figures look quite consistent (1.59 ABC Index, 4.9 percent Unique A=s/Foals), in fact he has a strange profile. He had 24 >unique= A Runners in his first three crops (1999-2001), but has had exactly zero A Runners in three of his five “From the Silver Lining Dept.: while nobody needs to crops since. He had one A Runner in his fourth crop pretend Fasig February’s 63 percent drop in gross is good (2002), and four in his 2004 crop, four-year-olds last news, it is striking that, typical of what is happening right year. So, having averaged eight A Runners per crop in now, the number catalogued was down 40 percent. Fasig his first three crops, he=s averaged one in his five crops was down from two days to one; Goffs this week has since! Having covered 112 mares in Kentucky in 2007, Adena Springs moved him to Florida in 2008, when he shrunk from four days to two. Breeders are obviously covered 75 mares. I guess it=s a big gamble whether deciding there is no market for a lot of these horses, so he=s still the same horse he was 10 years ago, but there=s the expense of going to auction isn’t justified.

If Lane=s End hasn=t yet sold out his barnmate, City Zip, at $12,500, it=s not because he doesn=t get a mention in this column every single week. Here he is again--8.1 percent unique A Runners (though three of his four crops to race were foaled in New York, where the purses are boosted). As you know, he had five two-year-old stakes winners in his first Kentucky crop last year. His age figures do show a definite regression so far; they=ve been much better at two and three; and, of course, he=s the new- est member of the 18-and-under Top 30.

Bill Oppenheim cont. Halling and Hernando are two British sires with somewhat similar profiles. Each has had a little over 600 year-starters since 2002; Halling had 25 A Runners in that period (2.02 A Runner Index), Hernando 27 (2.14 A Index). Both are below 1.00 for two-year-olds, both much stronger as three-year-olds and up. Halling has sired 5.4 percent unique A Runners from foals; Hernando 5.5 percent. They aren=t precocious, that has to be conceded, but they are both good sires. Holy Bull looks very consistent now for $10,000, at 1.68 A Runner Index, 1.66 ABC; he is a touch above average for two-year-olds, then they improve. Jump Start did just that in the first half of 2008, when he had his first four-year-olds. Though he didn=t fare as well in the second half of the year, his overall profile looks well above average, including a good 1.85 rating for his first four-year-olds last year. Langfuhr is one of the $20,000 stallions on this list, but as usual that doesn=t look expensive for what he=s achieved. Considering he always gave Pulpit a run for his money as crop leader for North American sires with first foals 1999, he still looks really worth the money: 2.32 A Index, 1.84 ABC Index, 5.8 percent unique A Runners from foals; they start out well above average (1.47 for two-year-olds) and improve with age. Once he=d finished 22nd on the 2005 Freshman Sire list, Monarchos faced an uphill struggle commercially. Even though he has had only one graded stakes winner, www.hillndalefarms.com he did nonetheless have six three-year-old A Runners last year. He could be poised to look pretty good value He=s also got a very high 3.24 All-Weather (synthetic) in his second year at a $6,000 fee. Mutakddim (by cumulative average-earnings index.

That profile would not fit the European F2004 repre- sentative from this stud fee range, Sakhee. Though he has a 3.10 A Runner Index, and a 1.84 ABC rating, his age ratings tell the story: an extra-low 0.40 for two-year-olds, but 2.41 for three-year-olds, and 2.53 for four-year-olds. The two other F2003 sires I haven=t mentioned are Florida stallion Put It Back and Trajectory, a son of Gone West who is probably the best young sire in Ontario. Put It Back gets nearly as many mentions in this column as City Zip. He=s actually on the low end of the scale with 4.1 percent unique A Runners from foals, but with the likes of In Summation and Smokey Stover in his first crop, and Hey Byrn and Sunshine Millions Filly and Mare Sprint winner High Resolve in his third, he can be forgiven if he hasn=t struck with the frequency of some of the others who probably had a much better opportunity. Except in Brazil, that is, where he has four Group 1 winners in two crops there. Trajec- tory has certainly acted on the Woodbine all-weather surface: he has a 2.38 AW average-earnings index (including five AW stakes winners) and a very high 43 percent AW winners to starters. He had a total of seven stakes winners last year. Smoke Glacken was just about everybody=s number 31 on our list of top 30 sires aged 18-and-under. With well over 1,000 year-starters since 2002, he has compiled a 1.88 A Runner Index and a 1.82 ABC Index-- that=s 155 ABC Runners. He has a very good 2.49 two-year-old index, and his 35 unique A Runners repre- sents 6.3 percent of his foals. He=s an absolute solid citizen. That should leave us with two California sires to mention, but even though his numbers put him right in with these and we know he stands for less than $20,000, the farm has chosen to list In Excess=s fee as >private= the last few years; so he gets only this half a call, and no listing. Though Unusual Heat is >private= this year, he was listed at $20,000 for last year, which does qualify him for inclusion.

This is a horse who gives 100% every time and seems to relish a fight... Red Giant set a new world record of 1:57 flat (for a mile and a quarter), with a final quarter in :24 flat (and an internal quarter of :22 flat), which was two full seconds faster than Wait a While’s victory in the Yellow Ribbon (gr. IT) the same day...he has six wins at six different racetracks... You won’t find many horses who combine courage, class, speed, versatility, and consistency more than Red Giant. He should be the favorite (in the Breeders’ Cup).”
