Gary & Mary West Stables Born: Gary: 1945 in Harlan Gary & Mary West Stables Born: Gary: 1945 in Harlan, Iowa; Mary: 1946 in Miami, Florida Residence: Rancho Santa Fe, California Breeders’ Cup Record: 8-1-0-1 | $1,700,000 • Gary and Mary West have had eight Breeders’ Cup starters, with New Year’s Day securing the couple’s only victory to date in the 2014 Juvenile (G1) at Santa Anita. • The husband-wife team finished third in last year’s Classic (G1) with West Coast, who was named the country’s champion 3-year-old male of 2017 on the strength of victories in the Travers Stakes (G1) and Pennsylvania Derby (G1). West Coast is out of Caressing, who was named the country’s champion 2-year-old filly in 2000 after winning the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies (G1). West Coast, who is trained by Hall of Famer Bob Baffert, is pointing for this year’s Classic. • The Wests and Baffert could have the favorite for this year’s Breeders’ Cup Juvenile (G1) in unbeaten Game Winner, who captured the Del Mar Futurity (G1) and American Pharoah Stakes (G1) in his last two starts. • Through Oct. 18, the Wests ranked ninth nationally this year among owners in purse earnings ($3,479,163). • Entered the game almost 40 years ago after claiming Joe Blow, who would win races for the Wests at their home track, the now-defunct Ak-Sar-Ben in Omaha, Neb. • First graded stakes winner and Kentucky Derby starter was Rockamundo, who recorded a monumental upset in the 1993 G2 Arkansas Derby (odds of 108-1). Rockamundo finished 17th in the Kentucky Derby (G1) two weeks later and would run seventh in the Preakness Stakes (G1). Rockamundo was trained by Orin J. “Benny” Glass Jr., the Wests’ longtime racing manager and bloodstock advisor. • Other top horses campaigned by the Wests include Grade 1 winners Book Review, Power Broker, Room Service, Mongoose, Mass Media and Buddha and millionaire Dollar Bill. Buddha was among the favorites for the 2002 Kentucky Derby off his victory in the Grade I Wood Memorial. He was scratched from the Kentucky Derby (foot bruise) and never ran again. • In addition to Baffert, the Wests’ coast-to-coast operation has had winners saddled this year by Hall of Fame trainer Steve Asmussen, trainer Jason Servis and trainer Boyd Caster. • The Wests, who reside in Southern California, made their fortune in the telecommunications industry and in 2006 established the Gary and Mary West Foundation, which focuses on lowering the cost of health care for senior citizens. • Gary West began his career in hospital administration and went on to build one of the largest telecommunications companies in the world. Along with Mary, West has founded numerous companies over the last four decades – beginning with WATS Telemarketing in 1978 and followed by West Corporation in 1986. • West Corporation became one of the largest customer relationship management providers in the world with more than 35,000 employees and $3.5 billion in annual sales. Since West Corporation was taken private in 2006, West and his wife have started and now lead a range of enterprises based in Southern California and the Midwest, including West Development and West Partners, a private equity firm..

Her first mating is planned to be with Coolmore's champion sire Galileo (Ire). Bred by Northern Farm and raced by Toji Morita, Deirdre's first three seasons of racing were restricted largely to Japan, where she won five races, including the G1 Shuka Sho. She also took third in the G1 Dubai Turf on her first start outside her native country. Following her return visit to the Dubai World Cup meeting in 2019, Deirdre travelled on to Hong Kong and then to Newmarket, which has subsequently remained her base for an ambitious international campaign.

WEST COAST Flatter – Caressing by Honour and Glory 2014 Bay l 16.2 Hands “An Eclipse Award winning champion, West Coast is by an outstanding sire son of A.P. Indy, out of a ChampionTwo-Year-Old Filly. West Coast earned a title as Champion Three-Year-Old Colt with five consecutive victories, four in stakes events, and ran 1-2-3 in six consecutive grade one events, including when capturing the Travers Stakes (G1) and Pennsylvania Derby (G1). He is by Flatter, a leading stallion son of A.P. Indy, and sire of more than 50 stakes winners, and out of Caressing, Champion and Breeders’ Cup (G1) winner at two.“ The offspring of West Coast will be free of Northern Dancer at four generations on their sire’s side, and Flatter has crossed well with a wide variety of broodmare sires from that line. The cross with mares from the Danzig branch of Northern Dancer has been particulary productive with seven stakes winners, including graded stakes winners Classic Point and Mad Flatter out of mares by Langfuhr and Honor Grades (who gives inbreeding to the dam of A.P. Indy), and there are also stakes winners out of mares by War Front – who appears particularly interesting here, giving inbreeding to Relaunch and a full-sister – Danzig Connection, Ghazi and Military (who would be intriguing here).

DAVID COYLE DAVID KEENELAND.COM K SUMMER 2018 27 spotlight on MIKE RYAN o call Mike Ryan just a bloodstock agent is an understatement. The 35-plus-year veteran of the Thoroughbred breeding industry tdoes far more than cherry-pick pros- pects from a sales catalog. He is also a successful breeder and pinhooker — scooping up under-the-radar yearlings to flip at a profit — a successful own- er, and a trusted adviser on everything from choosing a trainer to mating a mare. To say he excels at buying horses — well, another underestimation. Ryan has more than a flair for finding a year- ling with the right stuff. What he has is more like a prophetic vision: He can eyeball a gangly colt or filly and come up Inspecting horses on the farms often means navigating fences and other with a pretty clear picture of what the obstacles. youngster will look like charging down the stretch as a 3-year-old. And never has Ryan’s sagacity been more on dis- play than in the past year or so as hors- es with his name in their provenance have racked up win after win in classic races and Breeders’ Cup contests. Just take a look at 2017.

  • 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.

    CHURCHILL DOWNS Saturday 05/02/2015 Forecast High Partly Sunny 75 F Low Precip: 12% 54 F THE WIZARD'S CRYSTAL BALL # 3 YOCKEY'S WARRIOR (Race 2) He apparently was still feeling the effects of his monstrous victory at first asking on April 4 at Keeneland, finishing second that day. Yockey's Warrior was a mere shell of himself at Keeneland last month, setting the pace over a track surface that was extremely unkind to frontrunners and/or runners racing towards the rail. Regardless, Yockey's Warrior held on well in the stretch to salvage the place once displaced on the front end by the winner, and he was clearly second best. He projects to compete over a fairer surface today, switching to Churchill Downs while getting a huge upgrade in riders to Joel Rosario. He looms the controlling speed once again, drawing an a beneficial inside post. #3 CARVE (Race 4) He has had the misfortune of competing against Race Day not once, but twice in both of his starts off a layoff in Arkansas. In their second go-round on April 11, he gave the aforementioned runner all he could handle past midstretch, but was unable to match strides with that dual graded stakes winner when it mattered in the final yards, settling for a sharp second place finish. Carve profits immeasurably from some class relief today and the absence of Race Day as well, running in a high-end optional claiming contest. A drop in class to face similar rivals at a flat mile resulted in a going away victory as the post time favorite over this track in 2014.
