The colt's withdrawal from the October Sale worked in his favour, as Azano broke his maiden on Oct. 15, before adding some vital black-type to the page at the end of the month. His dam Azanara (Ire) (Hurricane Run {Ire}), a half-sister to the G1 Prix Ganay winner Astarabad (Alleged) and to the dam of the Aga Khan's multiple Group 1 winner Azamour (Ire), was bought for the Taylors as a yearling by Liam Norris for i130,000.

Click or tap by Emma Berry here to go straight to TDN America. NEWMARKET, UKCThe European yearling sales have been hit-or-miss all season and, from a slow beginning, the finale eventually sparked into life as dusk settled, with a number of high-priced lots contributing to a record average for Tattersalls December Yearling Sale of 35,597gns. A fall in clearance rate to 73% from 78% last season meant that the aggregate fell fractionally, with the 118 yearlings sold bringing 4,200,500gns, a drop of 2%. The median was down by 14% at 21,500gns. The green and red silks of Martin and Lee Taylor have already been carried to Classic glory by the Oaks winner Dancing Rain (Ire) (Danehill Dancer {Ire}), who was one of the stars of the 2013 Tattersalls December Sale when selling for 4 million gns. The brothers will be hoping that their luck is in again next spring when their G2 Horris Hill S. runner-up Azano (GB) (Oasis Dream {GB}) attempts to lay down his Guineas claims. In the meantime his full-brother (lot 89), bred by the Taylors and sold through the Castlebridge Consignment, led the December yearling session, with the hammer falling in favour of Azano's trainer John Gosden at 260,000gns.

Seeing Stars And Moons... The champion trainer was back in action later and bought a Sea The Stars (Ire) half-sister to Group 3 winner Caravan Rolls On (GB) Hernando {Fr}) from Staffordstown Stud for 105,000gns. The filly (lot 149) is out of the unraced Machiavellian mare Grain Only (GB), whose dam All Grain (GB) is a sister to the Irish and winner Pure Grain (GB) (Polish Precedent). Breeder Kirsten Rausing said, "Unfortunately she had a stone bruise and could not come [to the sale] in October. I am delighted that she has been purchased by John Gosden and Stroud Coleman Bloodstock. She is a lovely filly and has always done everything rightCexcept find one stone to stand on." Rausing will also have approved of Gosden and Stroud's next purchase, just five lots later. The filly in question (lot 154) is by the Lanwades Sea The Moon (Ger) who has recently been crowned champion first-season sire in Germany on the back of a strong crop of debutants, including the Group 3 winners Noble Moon (Ger) and Quest The Moon (Ger). On behalf of breeder Gestut Ammerland, Ronald Rauscher consigned the half-sister to the listed winner High Duty (GB) (Oratorio {Ire}) and out of the winning Montjeu (Ire) mare Heart Of Ice (Ire), who sold for 125,000gns. "She is very athletic and light on her feet," said Stroud. "And the sire has been doing very well."

Toppers Cont. Kanaloa--with less than half as many runners as Deep Impact-- 106 c Oasis Dream (GB) Clarentine (GB) 140,000 has risen to seventh place behind Deep Impact on the general B-Bluehills Racing Ltd (GB) sires' table. His son Stelvio recently landed the G1 Mile Consigned by The Castlebridge Consignment Championship at Kyoto and now Lord Kanaloa's exceptional Purchased by Rashed Aldaban daughter Almond Eye has won the G1 Japan Cup after dominating the Fillies' Triple Crown, comprising the 1000 154 f Sea The Moon (Ger) Heart of Ice (Ire) 125,000 Guineas and Oaks equivalents and the Shuka Sho. Another B-Ammerland Verwaltung & Co. (Ire) 3-year-old, Danon Smash, took the G3 Keihan Hai over six Consigned by Ronald Rauscher, agent furlongs on the day of Almond Eye's Japan Cup triumph. Purchased by Stroud Coleman Bloodstock Lord Kanaloa also ranks second behind Deep Impact on this year's 2-year-old table, thanks partly to group stakes successes 149 f Sea The Stars (Ire) Grain Only (GB) 105,000 by Fantasist (a Group 3 winner over six furlongs and a Group 2 B-Miss K. Rausing (GB) winner over seven) and Cadence Call (a Group 3 winner over a Consigned by Staffordstown mile). With three Group 1 juvenile prizes yet to be decided, it Purchased by Stroud Coleman Bloodstock will be interesting to see whether Lord Kanaloa can narrow Deep Impact's lead. Lord Kanaloa was very different to Deep Impact, in that he had no pretensions to staying middle distances, even though he is a son of King Kamehameha. This winner of the Japanese Derby (Tokyo Yushun) over a mile and a half has sired two winners of ALMOND EYE the same Classic. Lord Kanaloa was never asked to tackle more than a mile After the retirement of the sensational Frankel during a 19-race career. Before retiring to Shadai he built an at the end of 2012, there was a possibility that enviable record of 13 wins and five seconds, with his victories the stars of 2013 would seem rather pedestrian in featuring two in the G1 Sprinters S. at Nakayama and another comparison. Fortunately, nature abhors a vacuum two in Sha Tin's G1 Hong King Sprint. He proved his versatility and the void was filled by several genuinely with a win in the G1 Yasuda Kinen over a mile. outstanding performers on the international stage. There are a few possible sources of Lord Kanaloa's speed. While none of them came close to matching Frankel's Although King Kamehameha stayed well, his grandsires were the unequalled Timeform rating of 147, several scored highly on the top sprinters Mr. Prospector and Last Tycoon. Then there's Timeform scale. Treve, who handed out a five-length defeat to Storm Cat, who sired Lord Kanaloa's dam Lady Blossom from the the Japanese champion Orfevre in the Arc, earned a figure of dual American Grade I winner Saratoga Dew. Although Saratoga 134, as did American Horse of the Year Wise Dan and the Dew and her sire Cormorant both stayed nine furlongs, phenomenal Australian mare , who extended her Cormorant also set two stakes record times over six furlongs as winning run to 25. a 3-year-old. Cont. p7 I mention this to put into perspective the figure of 133 achieved by Lord Kanaloa, the dominant sprinter-miler in Japan. It is also illuminating to point out that Lord Kanaloa's rating was just 1lb below the best Timeform rating achieved by Japanese superstar Deep Impact several years earlier. Deep Impact, of course, has since developed into a worthy successor to his sire Sunday Silence and currently looks guaranteed to record his seventh consecutive Japanese sires' championship, having also enjoyed Classic success in Britain and France this year. However, the signs are that Lord Kanaloa is going to prove an increasingly dangerous rival to Deep Impact in years to come. Lord Kanaloa was the leading first-crop sire of 2017, when he also ranked second behind Deep Impact on the 2-year-old table. And those first-crop runners have trained on so well that Lord Almond Eye | Horsephotos TDN EUROPE • PAGE 7 OF 11 • THETDN.COM TUESDAY • 27 NOVEMBER 2018

Pedigree Insights Cont. the Japanese Oaks, the Shuka Sho and the Japan Cup, Breeders have understandably been very eager to use Lord respectively finishing second, third and fifth. She was beaten Kanaloa, with his first three crops numbering 180, 195 and 159 only five lengths by Deep Impact in the 2006 Japan Cup, two registered foals. He has covered at least 250 mares in each of his weeks after she had become a Group 1 winner in the Queen first four seasons and his fee for Elizabeth II Commemorative 2018 was -8 million, which put Cup. him on a par with Sunday In addition to being a daughter Silence's very successful son of Sunday Silence, Fusaichi Heart's Cry. Pandora comes from one of the King Kamehameha and Lord world's most illustrious female Kanaloa both enjoy the priceless lines. Her dam Lotta Lace was benefit of having pedigrees free born when her dam Sex Appeal of the ubiquitous Sunday was 22, but the fact that she was Silence. It is worth mentioning by 's son that even though Sunday Silence Nureyev meant that she was a died as long ago as 2002, he still three-parts-sister to the brilliant exerts a huge influence on El Gran Senor and to the Japanese breeding. Five of his champion 2-year-old Try My sons currently rank among the Best. Incidentally, Nureyev and top eight on the leading sires' Try My Best also figure among Lord Kanaloa | Kelsey Riley table, and Sunday Silence is King Kamehameha's heading for yet another broodmare sire championship. In other great-grandsires, words, Lord Kanaloa has a great deal to offer breeders trapped Almond Eye's sire Lord Kanaloa isn't the only son of King in the Sunday Silence cul-de-sac. Kamehameha to have made an encouraging start in recent Daughters of Sunday Silence supplied King Kamehameha with years. The year-older Rulership, who also won one of Hong numerous group winners, headed by Duramente (2015 Kong's Group 1 races, is another who enjoys the attraction of Japanese 2000 Guineas and Derby), Rose Kingdom (2010 Japan having no Sunday Silence blood. He has sired the Japanese St Cup) and Belshazzar (2013 Japan Cup Dirt). Mares by sons of Leger winner Kiseki from a Deep Impact mare and it was Kiseki Sunday Silence have also had success, producing such good who chased home Almond Eye at Tokyo two days ago. Rulership winners as Let's Go Donki (2015 Japanese 1000 Guineas), Lovely now ranks ninth on the leading sires' list, having been the Day (2015 Tenno Sho Autumn) and Leontes (2015 Asahi Hai leading first-crop sire of 2016. Futurity). It is encouraging that Lord Kanaloa has also made a bright start with Sunday Silence line mares. His Japan Cup heroine Almond Eye has a dam by Sunday Silence, while the G1-winning Stelvio has a second dam by him. Shadai must also be delighted that Lord Kanaloa's 2-year-old group winners in 2018 are out of granddaughters of Sunday Silence, with Fantasist and Cadence Call respectively being out of daughters of Deep Impact and Heart's Cry.

The Challengers: Dubious (Not a Single Doubt--Suspicieuse {Fr}) THE CLASS OF 2018-19: Stamped himself as a star colt with a tough win in the G3 Breeders' Plate at Randwick back in late September. A EARLY REPORT CARD A$350,000 purchase from the Kitchwin Hills draft at the 2018 Magic Millions, he races in the Aquis colours and his debut victory already has him touted as a future stallion. Trainers Ciaron Maher and David Eustace have him headed towards the Magic Millions 2YO Classic, with a lead-up run in either Sydney or in Queensland on the cards before then. The plan is to target him towards the G1 Golden Slipper S.

Catch Me (I Am Invincible--Captivating Claire {NZ}) A A$625,000 yearling purchase for Yulong at this year's Easter Sales, Peter and Paul Snowden's filly was an emphatic winner on debut in the G3 Gimcrack S. She sat back and swept home to win by nearly three lengths. No other filly has impressed as much since.

Top of the Class: Tassort (Brazen Beau--Essaouira) Brilliant on debut, albeit against a small field, on Saturday at Rosehill. This colt sat just off the pace and seized a gap at the 200-metre mark to race away and win by 5.3l. It was a strong pre-Christmas performance by a 2-year-old. He rocketed into A$6 favouritism for the G1 Golden Slipper on that effort. James Cummings admits he's the A-grader for Godolphin, who had already produced two other 2-year-old winners in the previous two weeks.

Time To Reign (Time For War--Courgette) The half-brother to 2017 Golden Slipper winner She Will Reign (Manhattan Rain) looks a very handy horse after a pair of wins in Sydney. He was wayward but dominant on the soft track on debut in the Kirkham Plate at Randwick and then backed up to win at Rosehill, again leading all the way. He looks a typically fast and forward 2-year-old, much like his older sister and will skip the Magic Millions and instead head straight towards the Golden Slipper. Trainer Gary Portelli certainly feels he will benefit significantly from a break headed into his second campaign.

MIRAHMADI NAMED HE IS ON TOP, SO WHY IS JIMMY TAKTER WALKING AWAY? by Bill Finley SANTA ANITA ANNOUNCER Jimmy Takter dabbled one time with a Thoroughbred he helped break named It=s Like This (Ascot Knight). He=ll watch the GI Kentucky Derby and he=ll tell you how much he admires Wayne Lukas. But this is not a Thoroughbred story. Actually, it=s not even a story about harness racing, the sport Takter has dominated almost since the day the trainer arrived from Sweden in 1982. It=s about horsemanship, excellence, an unmatched competitive drive, about someone who realized there is more to life than racing and a decision that shocked the Standardbred world. Just 58 and still far and away the top trainer in the harness game, Takter will start his last horse Thursday at Dover Downs when he sends out Thinkbig Dreambig (Bettor=s Delight) in the Progress Pace. His stable will officially shut down Saturday. His horses will be divided between his top assistant Per Engblom Frank Mirahmadi with California trainer Doug O=Neill|Equi-Photo and his daughter Nancy Johannsson, already a top trainer herself.

AWe=re very excited to be able to hand Frank the microphone here on opening day,@ said Tim Ritvo, COO for The Stronach Group. AIn addition to being an outstanding communicator, to know Frank is to love him. He=s a very engaging, funny guy who brings a unique perspective to his job. First and foremost, he=s a fan and I really think that=s important. He knows what our players want and he knows how to engage not only them, but newcomers as well. He=s well known and respected by our horsemen and we=re looking forward to having him do a number of promotional things in addition to calling races. I know he=ll be here on-track well in advance of opening day to get reacquainted with everyone and we can=t wait for the bell to ring on Dec. 26.@ Mirahmadi replaces Michael Wrona, who two years ago beat out fellow finalist Mirahmadi to earn the Santa Anita job.

When Takter came to the U.S., harness racing was much different from the sport it is today, a sport where it sometimes seems like the only reason it still has a pulse is because of its marriage to slot machines. Back in the mid-eighties, people still came to the track and a night at the Meadowlands was electric. Never fearful of speaking his mind, Takter blames industry leaders for the shape harness racing is in now and says if the game had more life he may not be walking away. AI don=t like to criticize our sport, but harness racing in general, and , as well, they are not the same as they used to be,@ he said. AEspecially harness racing. I came here 36 years ago and that was a helluva different ball game then than it is today. It was more glamorous, there was more status behind it. The Thoroughbreds still have that. Harness racing is mismanaged. We=ve been taking our customers and our owners for granted. We=ve been taking the trainers, their staff, everyone around us for granted. After all the mismanagement and with how long it has been going on, harness racing is fighting an uphill battle. It won=t matter if the Meadowlands gets a casino. Yes, they will race for more money and maybe more people will breed more horses, but it won=t bring the excitement and the glamour back to the sport. Anyone who has been around this sport for a while knows exactly what I am talking about. It used be a lot more exciting. Now it=s just become a job.@ As far as why so few Thoroughbred trainers retire, Takter wondered if they can afford to do so. He says he has not gotten rich off his day rate or the commissions he has earned from winning races, but from developing stallions. Takter and his wife often own 20 or 30% of the horses he trains. He estimates that during his career, he has developed between 50 and 60 stallions, many of whom have gone on to become some of the best sires in the sport. AI=ve been a very good businessman,@ he said. AI=ve owned a part in a lot of these great horses myself. Financially, I got myself in a very good position. People think, >He was a great trainer,= but it=s expensive to live and even when you win a lot of races, the commission doesn=t always add up to that much money. Most of the stallions I developed, I was a part owner of. Financially I=m set for the rest of my life@ He will not completely rule out coming back some day, but doesn=t seem the least bit excited by that prospect. He has a house in Florida he will spend time at, will travel and says he will continue to spend time at his New Jersey farm, where he has a house. He says he=ll be glad to lend Engblom and Johansson a hand if they ever need one. Most of all, he just wants to enjoy the rest of his life. AThis year, I knew it was my last year,@ he said. ASo I might have felt a little more relaxed about things and took things more on the easy side. Over the year, some people have told me that I seem happier.@

THE WILD, WILD STEPPE by Kelsey Riley, from the TDN Weekend The Mongol Derby wants to kill you. I had been warned of it. I had started to suspect it. Now, as a pair of snarling dogs came lurching at me as I hung off the side of my bolting horse, I knew it to be true. We had been galloping for 10 kilometers down a desolate dirt road through what appeared to be an equine cemetery, with horse skulls and bits of bone scattered across the green knolls. Rounding a bend, we found ourselves face-to-face with a fully intact horse skeleton. As my horse spooked, launching me half out of the saddle, two dogs blasted out of a ger, biting at his ankles as I struggled to hang on. Really? This is how I'm going to die? A year of preparation to ride 620 miles across the Mongolian steppe and I'm going to be ripped to pieces just four days in by two angry, potentially rabid dogs? "Not today, boys!" I shouted as I hauled myself back up onto the saddle. As we reached the edges of their territory, the dogs backed off and slowly disappeared into the distance. Welcome to the Mongol Derby. That was pretty much a typical moment in the world's longest and toughest horse race, where riders have 10 days to navigate 1,000 kilometers of the Mongolian steppe on the backs of semi-wild horses. That sounds hectic. But at least you can follow the track, right? Think again. There is no marked course; riders navigate from Wrong.
