"We're getting RECORD-BREAKING DAY too old to do the yearlings now so we've sold foals for the last three years. This filly was a little poppet but she had some character." The filly's dam 's Gold (Swain {Ire}) is now in foal to (GB), who led home her dual Group 1-winning son Jack Hobbs in the Derby, and another of her offspring produced a decent sales result for the Carsons with the preceding lot in the ring, lot 991.

The continued demand for foals ensured a new record average was set at 101,107gns, which was up 12% on last year, though the median remained static at 65,000gns and the clearance rate dropped from 84% to 80%. Despite 17 fewer horses being sold than on the equivalent day last year, the session's turnover improved slightly, by 1%, to 16,986,000gns. Classic-winning jockey is used to playing a starring role on the racecourse, but more recently his exploits as a Classic-winning breeder mean that he's now in the spotlight in the sales ring too. His half-sister to G1 winner Jack Hobbs (GB) () (lot 992), bred with wife Elaine at their Minster Stud in Gloucestershire, had the benefit of being the sole Dubawi foal in the December catalogue and, like so many Dubawis before her and indeed her half-brother, she will join Sheikh Mohammed's operation after being knocked down to Jack Hobbs's former trainer at 750,000gns.

Dubawi Filly Tops Record-Breaking Day cont. from p1 The Capital Bloodstock buying team of Neil Gilchrist and Peter Vaughan has been busy throughout the last fortnight and spent i1.15-million on four weanlings at Goffs before continuing the spree at Tattersalls. The 10 foals purchased in Newmarket included Ringfort Stud's daughter of Dark Angel (Ire) (lot 927), bought for 600,000gns. "I'm a little overwhelmed," said Ringfort owner and vet Derek Veitch, who bred the filly in partnership with Paul Hancock from the Sir Percy (GB) mare Indigo Lady (GB). The 7-year-old mare was placed in the G3 Prix d'Aumale when trained by Peter Chapple-Hyam and later won a listed race in Ireland for Willie McCreery. "Paul raced the mare initially and then I bought into her privately," Veitch continued. "She won a listed race at The Capital Bloodstock=s Neil Gilchrist | Tattersalls Curragh after I got involved and then we twice tried to sell her here and didn't. Someone up there must have been looking out for us." "Paul's not very well as he's just had his appendix out but he's Indigo Lady's first foal, Expensive Liaison (Ire) (Camelot {GB}), been watching the sale on the web feed. I'd just like to thank who was runner-up recently on her second start, was bought everyone at home who worked so hard to get them all here and from last year's October Book 1 for 155,000gns by Tim Gredley, everyone who bid on the filly. It's the best result we've had and who races the Hugo Palmer-trained filly with his father Bill. probably the best result we'll ever have but the filly had loads of vets--I don't think I've ever had such interest in a horse before." The Ringfort filly wasn't the only expensive Dark Angel foal on the Capital Bloodstock list as Gilchrist later signed for Knocktoran Stud's colt out of dual Group 3 winner Bikini Babe (Ire) (Montjeu {Ire}) (lot 956) at 325,000gns as part of a total outlay of 2,205,000gns. "All the foals have been bought to race for an established English owner," explained Vaughan. "Obviously we're looking for good individuals with nice pedigrees and the Dark Angel filly is a lovely long-term prospect as a broodmare."

Cooke's Choice Is Invincible... On two consecutive days in April, two daughters of Invincible Spirit arrived at Bernard and Kathy Cooke's Bryanstown House Stud in Kilcock. The breeders would have been entitled to feel optimistic for their future sales prospects as the Irish National Stud stallion has been kind to them in the past, with three foals by him out of their homebred mare Liscune (Ire) (King's Best) bringing a total of 540,000gns in the ring in previous years.

Horn Blowing Hot... Tom Goff warned us in the TDN earlier this week that "we haven't got stuck into Golden Horn yet," and if he was referring to his association with the buying team of Godolphin then Friday was the day that they dug deep to take home several members of the Derby and Arc winner's first crop. Top of the crop was lot 925, a colt from the Fagan family's Deerpark Stud, who sold to Anthony Stroud on Godolphin's behalf for 325,000gns. The near-black weanling is the second son of the Shamardal mare Elegant Shadow, whose firstborn by Sea The Stars (Ire) sold for 1-million gns in the same ring not two months ago to Phoenix . Despite two outstanding sales-ring hits from the mare's first two offspring, there's a sting in the tale for the Fagans, who lost Elegant Shadow to colic in July. "In the short time she was with us she did more for the stud and for us than some mares will do in a lifetime," said Peter Fagan, who aids his father John in the running of the County Meath farm. "We sent her to Sea The Stars and she produced such a star that we decided to keep going with the same cross and use Golden Horn." Godolphin also bought Old Buckenham Stud's Golden Horn colt (lot 963) for 300,000gns. The son of the dual Italian listed winner Mia Diletta (GB) (Selkirk) is a half-brother to the G3 Premio Parioli (Italian 2000 Guineas) winner Poeta Diletto (GB) (Poet's Voice {GB}) and was bred by Isabella and Guido Bezzera of Scuderia Blueberry. The highlight of the first-time draft from Alex and Olivia Frost=s Ladyswood Stud also proved to be a Golden Horn colt (lot 989), this one a son of the listed winner and Group 3-placed Damaniyat Girl (Elusive Quality) who sold for 210,000gns. In total, Golden Horn's six foals to sell returned an average price of 203,333gns, making him the leading freshman sire at Tattersalls.

Lone Frankel For Japan... The sole weanling by Frankel (GB) (lot 1022) for sale this week will be heading to the country where Juddmonte's champion recorded his first Grade 1 winner after the colt out of the G2 Oaks d'Italia winner Contredanse (Ire) (Danehill Dancer {Ire}) sold to owner Kanji Yagura for 375,000gns. "I particularly like the fact that he is by Frankel but he is also a great individual and was my pick of the day," said Yagura, who buys under the name Le Mare and has so far bought three foals at Tattersalls this week. The Frankel colt was bred by Australian Stuart Stuckey and consigned for him by Sara Cumani's Fittocks Stud. FOLLOW THE CROWD

SPORTS BETTING AND RACING: THE FUTURE SHARP AZTECA SEEKS by Bill Finley ELUSIVE GRADE I IN In today=s third and final edition of the TDN=s look at the relationship between sports betting and racing, we examine how LOADED CIGAR MILE some creative thinking might benefit the sport. Click here to read part one and part two. For decades, the Australian legal gambling market mirrored the American market. The first organized meet in Australia took place in 1810. For some 160 years, betting on racing was the only game in town. That changed in 1973 when the Australian state of Tasmania decided to legalize casinos. When one state broke down the barrier against casinos, it wasn=t long before they spread throughout the entire nation. That was good news for a gambling-mad country. According to Wikipedia, over 80% of Australian adults engage in gambling of some kind, which is the highest rate of gambling in the world. In 2016, Australians lost more money per person--an average of US$990--than any other developed country, according to research by consultancy H2 Gambling Capital.

Beasley (Shackleford) is an improving sort for Lee Lewis and Mark Grier. The $340,000 Fasig-Tipton Saratoga grad was laid up for five months after a fifth-place run in the GII Tampa Bay Derby, but bounced back with allowance wins Aug. 17 at Saratoga and Sept. 30 at Belmont prior to his run at 22-1 in the Bold Ruler. Seymourdini (Bernardini) is the most intriguing of the three. The $900,000 OBS April buy earned a field-best 113 Beyer when wiring the restricted State Dinner S. July 3 at Belmont, but ran a strange race in the Bold Ruler, showing little interest for six furlongs and appearing close to being eased at the top of the stretch before flying home in the final eighth to complete the superfecta.

The process that has resulted in the current reduction has been an organic one, said AGSC Chairman J. David Richardson. We do not go into any of it with an agenda to do this our that,@ he said.

David Richardson quality horses University of Louisville photo running in them and that=s obviously an area of concern. He continued, AWe look at each race individually. There are certain metrics that we use and we all know the horses pretty well in addition to the metrics. The metrics would include things like number of graded stakes wins, number of stakes wins overall and placings. You get points for each of those based on the quality of the race. Our North American Racing Committee AOne of the really difficult things that comes into play is when gives a thing called NARC ratings similar to the European ratings you have a single dominant horse, for example, and how that and they have their own set of metrics that we look at.

That is the conundrum that the committee often 2018 Graded Stakes # %Graded %Eligible Change faces. You have to take into account a really dominant horse. Grade I 106 23.3% -1 Are they scaring competition away?

The decision to downgrade a race like the Delaware H. was not an easy one, Richardson said.
