‘HENLEY’ FITS PERFECTLY BROMANS TO OFFER A DOZEN YEARLINGS AT SARATOGA IN CHANGE OF TACTICS IN TURF TRINITY by Christie DeBernardis Chester and Mary Broman have dedicated 22 years to the New York breeding program and have enjoyed quite a bit of success with the likes of GI Breeders’ Cup F/M Sprint winner Bar of Gold (Medaglia d’Oro), MGISW Artemis Agrotera (Roman Ruler) and GI Florida Derby hero Friends Lake (A.P. Indy), among others. The couple spent the first 20 years racing everything they produced on their 300-acre farm in Chestertown, N.Y., but starting last term, they began selling off their crops in what Chester Broman refers to as estate planning. Buyers at Fasig- Tipton’s upcoming yearling sales will have a chance to acquire some of New York’s finest with five Broman-bred yearlings in the Saratoga Selected Yearling Sale and an additional seven in the NY-Bred Yearling Sale.

Click “Turf Trinity,” many quipped that it would quickly be or tap here to go straight to TDN Europe. reconsidered as the “Chad Brown Trinity”, due to the perennial leading trainer’s particular dominance with grass horses. It only took one race in the series, however, to throw a wrench in that assumption, as longshot Henley’s Joy (Kitten’s Joy) upset the GI Belmont Derby at over 20-1 for Jeff Bloom’s Bloom Racing Stable and trainer Mike Maker. Sunday at Saratoga, the overachieving colt will look to make another early mark on the series as he contests the first running of the Turf Trinity’s second leg, the $1-million Saratoga Derby, which will be run at 1 3/16 miles to mirror the distance of the Triple Crown’s middle jewel, the GI Preakness S. “I’m a big fan,” Bloom said with a laugh about his early impressions of the series. “I think it’s a great idea, just another way to create excitement, interest and support a whole different component of our business in terms of developing young turf horses. It’s something that I think will only grow and become a big thing for the game. Obviously I’m a big fan having taken down the first ever [leg] of it, but I think it’s going to build excitement and you’re going to see a lot of people plan to go after running in and winning these races.” Cont. p3 MAKING

Henley’s Joy cont. from p1 Henley’s Joy was a $50,000 purchase at OBS April last year, and has so far earned nearly seven figures on the racetrack despite suffering a number of troubled trips going all the way back to his unveiling, where he navigated a slow start and ground loss to score a 14-1 upset on the Ellis lawn. Next time out, the chestnut paid for himself and then some with a neck triumph in the lucrative Kentucky Downs Juvenile S. After that, though, Henley’s Joy won just one of his next eight starts, a stretch that included runner-up finishes by a nose, a neck and a half-length, which Bloom chalked up to bad luck more than anything. “He’s a horse that had exhibited tons of talent, and even going back to his debut race, he had to overcome so much adversity with a poor start, extremely wide trip, bumped,” he said. “If you went back and looked at every single one of his races, including two of his just horrific near misses, he had trips that were so compromised. Every rider that had been on him said the same thing, that he’s one of the good ones, and if not for the bad trip, he would’ve won the race.” Then came the July 6 1 1/4-mile Belmont Derby, Henley’s Joy’s first foray beyond nine furlongs. True to expectation, the Chad Brown barn had four imposing runners in the race, but Bloom and Maker’s ace in the hole was jockey Jose Lezcano, riding Henley’s Joy for the first time in the midst of a brilliant meet that would see him take home his first-ever New York riding title. Lezcano worked out a beautiful trip, saving ground and sitting just off the speed, finding clear sailing in the stretch and just edging past fellow longshot Social Paranoia (Street Boss) to pull off a 3/4-length shocker. “It’s not like he was missing by much running against the best horses,” Bloom said. “He had run against War of Will, and a number of really good horses and had held his own. It simply came down to him getting an absolutely fabulous trip, and things worked out.” Cont. p4

On every level, she’s been a pleasure to be a part of. One of the things that makes it even nicer is the personality she has. She’s just so wonderful to be around and fun to be around at the barn, yet she’s fierce on the racetrack. The ride that we’ve had has been just incredible, beyond words, and we’re not done yet. It’s one of those things where every day, you wake up thinking, ‘Wow, Midnight Bisou is one of our horses.’ It’s really exciting to sit back and enjoy the ride and embrace it as much as you can. It teaches you to be in the moment and really appreciate how exciting, how much fun it is.”

MEDAGLIA D’ORO BETTER THAN EVER AT 20

Click the photo above to watch the video by Kelsey Riley and Jill Williams With eight select yearlings in Fasig-Tipton’s upcoming Saratoga sale--including a filly out of a full-sister to the dam of his multiple Grade I-winning star Elate and a colt out of a half-sister to his two-time champion Songbird--it is not unreasonable to expect fireworks from Medaglia d’Oro this summer. After all, he had eight yearlings bring $1 million or more last year in the sales ring, the year after he had seven individual Grade I winners on the racetrack and, somehow, he only seems to get better each year. Medaglia d’Oro has made a career of making brilliancy seem routine. “Medaglia d'Oro showed what he can do on the racetrack and also his prowess in the sales ring, which is really the bullseye for an elite stallion,” said Darren Fox, sales manager for Darley at Jonabell Farm. “To be able to get you that top runner but also that commercial score just earmarks what a special stallion he is and we're obviously very lucky that he stands here at Jonabell. Obviously a horse of Medaglia d'Oro's caliber would be the cornerstone of any stud farm and he just continues to go from strength to strength.” Those of us around racing 20 years ago were awash in the Eclipse campaigns of Charismatic (Summer Squall), Anees (Unbridled), Victory Gallop (Cryptoclearance), and Artax (Marquetry). All were top racehorses who had moments of brilliance on the track, but not necessarily in the breeding shed. No one would have guessed a bay colt born that year by Ireland’s juvenile champion El Prado (Ire) would set first the racing and then the breeding world on fire, leaving reverberations that will surely be felt for generations to come. El Prado was a very good sire, to be sure, but was one of a very few sons of Sadler’s Wells to find success at stud in North America. There were plenty to be across the pond--and this was even before the days of Sadler’s Wells greatest gifts to Europe in super sires (Ire), who is only a year older than Medaglia d’Oro, and (Ire), three years his elder--but grass racing wasn’t as popular in the U.S. at the time as it is now.

He would eventually add the GI Whitney H., GI Donn H., and several other graded stakes as well as two consecutive runner-up finishes in the GI Breeders’ Cup Classic and a second in the G1 Dubai World Cup. MAJOR PURSE INCREASES FOR 2020 “As a race horse, Medaglia d'Oro was ultra tough, ultra OAKLAWN STAKES consistent, and just performed at the highest level time and time again,” said Fox. “An elite performer, he did run first or second in 15 over 17 starts, and in 14 of the starts he ran triple- digit Beyers up to a high of 120, so [he was] just an amazing, consistent, high-performing athlete through every year he raced, so he certainly is a rare performer in that regard.” But the best was yet to come. Medaglia d’Oro entered stud in 2005. It turned out to be a banner year for new sires, as his fellow first-timers in the breeding shed included what are now legendary names like Tapit (Pulpit), Candy Ride (Arg) (Ride the Rails), and Speightstown (Gone West). All found success right out of the gate, siring a minimum of two Grade/Group I winners with their first crop, but when the dust settled, only one had a Horse of the Year in that first crop.

Fierro cont. Since we like to keep things simple, we use the following analogy: What kind of a vehicle do you have and is the engine capable of providing the energy to get that vehicle's job done? For example, you may have a Ford Explorer on your hands but it has a Toyota Corolla engine--not going to work because that engine will be struggling for that vehicle's functionality, which is to get into gear and build momentum with sustained power over a bit of ground. Or, you might have a Maserati in the barn, but the engine belongs in an Explorer--your vehicle needs to get away fast and stay fast early, but a heavy engine designed to gather momentum is not going to be efficient. We could give many more examples, but you get the drift. (You might be surprised how many women get this quicker than some men). In any case, while many of these providers project distance capabilities, some might also employ the technology along with other factors to project quality. This is a much more difficult task This one shows the quality of the stakes winners--the Above because quality is a fleeting thing in so many ways. and Average are a much larger percentage of graded stakes For the purposes of this essay we wanted to see whether winners while the Below are almost not there. As an aside, six ejection fraction could project racing quality in a readily furlongs was the distance of the Grade I win of the Below identifiable group of yearlings, and we found that group in the Average group. Saratoga Select sales from 2012 through 2017. At these sales we scanned well over 600 yearlings. There were nearly 100 stakes winners in that group (based on racing through July 15 of this year). Even though we also biomechanically analyzed every one of those yearlings, we tasked ourselves to ignore those findings and to just concentrate on what percentage of those stakes winners had returned Cardio Scores that were Above Average, Average or Below Average relative to the criteria we have established in our database on more than 20,000 Cardio Scores. Just to make things clear: the Average score (orange on the charts below), is not only where the majority of scores fall but also in all our previous studies has been the cut-off between runners who can win at a mile or further and those which have problems achieving those distances. Above Average scores (blue on the charts) logically implicate greater distance capabilities There's an enormous amount of other data we could supply while Below Average scores (in grey) are risky when it comes to and share, but we thought a conversation could be started with distance. what has been presented here.

Ingordo might have been ahead of the pack when it came to Cistron because, along with Banwell's wife, Caroline, he planned the mating. "After this horse was born, their farm manager told us this horse was going to be the one to put The Factor on the map," Ingordo said. Cistron's victory was also a big win for The Factor, who stands at Lane's End, giving him a second Grade I winner from his first crop. He joins Noted and Quoted, who won the GI 2016 Chandelier S.

At the 2015 sale, they brought five horses, three of which went on to become graded stakes winners.
