Thornton Two weeks ago, the Thoroughbred Idea Foundation (TIF) announced its formation with the goal of creating an open-to-all forum for the analysis and exchange of ideas to improve the racing industry (find it on Twitter here and here). Its board of directors are Craig Bernick, Lesley Howard, Corey Johnsen, Paul Matties, Justin Nicholson, Gary Stevens and Jack Wolf. The TDN spoke via phone earlier this week with Bernick, the president of Glen Hill Farm, to get a better understanding of the organization=s structure and goals. An edited transcript follows. TDN: Please give us the Aelevator pitch@ to sum up what TIF is all about. CB: I think we=re sort of a TED Talks meets FiveThirtyEight for the horse business, if you=re familiar with those websites.

From 300 head catalogued, 223 horses were offered and 51 failed to sell for a buy-back rate of 22.9%. It was 25% a year ago. AI think we have seen a fairly similar marketplace throughout the 2-year-old sales season,@ said Fasig-Tipton President Boyd Browning, Jr. AThere is still some polarization in the market, but there was certainly more diversity and depth, as you would expect with the larger catalogue and a wide variety of horses that were on offer today. There was plenty of interest and a huge crowd here today. It was a solid, solid day and that=s what you hope for in this marketplace.@ Cont. p3 Colt o/o I Be Me, bred by Dr. George Mundy, DVM Colt o/o Ventoux, bred by Cerca Trova Filly o/o Run Rosie, bred by Mary A.

  • Bulletin Book Extracts
    Bulletin Book Extracts Continuity with the Dark Horses Annual … In my Dark Horses Guide I made out a case for Nichols Canyon, now the winner of seven of his 10 starts over hurdles. A genuine and classy performer for John Gosden on the Flat, with two Listed victories and a Group 3 placing to his name, he landed four Grade 1 races as a novice last season without getting the credit he deserved. This season he became the first horse to beat Faugheen, where the close proximity of Wicklow Brave in third suggests the favourite underperformed, before winning his sixth Grade 1 race when beating Identity Thief in the Ryanair Hurdle at Leopardstown over Christmas. Nichols Canyon ran the worst race of his career just under a month later when he trailed home 28 lengths third to Faugheen and Arctic Fire in the Irish Champion Hurdle, possibly feeling the effects of his tussle with Identity Thief in the heavy ground. Nichols Canyon’s greatest asset is his tenacity. He is not the sort of horse ever to win on the bridle, but he handles any ground and has strong winning form over two and a half miles – always an asset in the Champion Hurdle. Willie Mullins says the horse reminds him of Hurricane Fly – a great compliment - and there is a case for saying he has the best overall form in the race, even though the ratings suggest otherwise. Strong Opinions … I have no doubt that My Tent Or Yours is one of the most talented horses Nicky Henderson has ever trained.

Haafaguinea (GB) (Haafhd {GB}) could be the slight favorite in what figures to be a wide-open affair, assuming he doesn’t regress off a half-length victory in a 12-furlongs handicap Jan. 21 first-up for nearly 11 months. The chestnut, who will be ridden by Freddy Tylicki was a two-time winner at the Carnival in 2015, including a 3/4-length success over the distance last February before going missing. “We were very pleased with his winning return,” said trainer Saeed bin Suroor. “He is a horse who always tries his best and we thought he merited a step up in grade, so this looked a good opportunity. Obviously he will be facing stronger opposition, but he really likes Meydan and we are hoping for a good run.” Cont. p4 Faugheen in action at Kempton over Christmas | Racing Post Faugheen (Ire), (Germany) the reigning champion hurdler and previously a long odds-on favourite to defend his crown at Cheltenham in four weeks’ time, has picked up a suspensory ligament injury and has been ruled out of action for the rest of KY DERBY TOP 12, SPONSORED BY WINSTAR the season.
