Showcasing Colt Takes the Honours at Goffs WEDNESDAY, 6 FEBRUARY 2019 LEVY BOARD AVOIDS APR. 1 ABOLITION SHOWCASING COLT TAKES The British government has withdrawn legislation that would THE HONOURS AT GOFFS result in the abolition of the Horserace Betting Levy Board (HBLB) on Apr. 1, the Racing Post reported on Tuesday. The Levy was extended to include betting operators based overseas after the government tweaked the central funding system in 2017. Another round of planned reforms began last fall, with the Gambling Commission due to take on the collection duties of the Levy Board and spending decisions rerouted to a new Racing Authority consisting of horse racing representatives after secondary legislation was introduced. That legislation reform order was halted when the secondary legislation was objected to on procedural reasons by a joint committee of MP=s and peers in December. In the latest development, the government has withdrawn that LRO, but the Levy will remain under government review. Cont. p8 Lot 248, a son of Showcasing topped Tuesday=s session | Goffs IN TDN AMERICA TODAY PEDIGREE INSIGHTS: FEEDBACK POSITIVE FOR VIOLENCE R by Daith Harvey Andrew Caulfield examines the burgeoning stallion career of KILDARE, Ireland--Goffs got their 2019 sales season off to a Violence (Medaglia d’Oro) and his GSW Feedback, who won the respectable start on Tuesday when the opening day of the GIII Forward Gal S. Click or tap here to go straight to TDN February Sale posted a predictable set of results given the America. current European bloodstock climate. Last year's top-priced yearling sold for i130,000 and Tuesday's topper came in just below that when Philipp Stauffenberg bid i120,000 for a son of Showcasing (GB) offered by Paul and Sara Thorman's Trickledown Stud. Last year's opening session had 66 less horses catalogued so direct comparisons are difficult; however Tuesday's aggregate of i2,026,700 for 134 sold fares quite favourably with last year's opening day tally of i1,367,900 for 120 sold. The average for the day was i15,125 (+6%) while the median was i7,000 (-7%) when compared to all of the short yearlings that went under the hammer during the 2018 sale. Trade was undoubtedly tough for a lot of vendors on Tuesday however and the clearance rate of 62% backs up that theory. For much of the day the pace had been set by a pair of i100,000 yearlings by Sea The Stars (Ire) and Lope De Vega (Ire), but when lot 248 entered the ring, admittedly after some cajoling from Paul Thorman, it soon became clear that this colt would also be making six figures.

Goffs February Sale Results Cont. from p1 The chestnut is the first produce out of the stakes winner Porthilly (Fr) (Pivotal {GB}) who won in both France and Germany and Philipp Stauffenberg, a particularly brave pinhooker, was glad to hear the hammer drop in his favour. "He wasn't cheap and I had to stretch but I am very glad to get him," he said. "I like him a lot and he is out of a fast filly who is a big rangy mare herself and this horse is a great walker. Ed Harper [of Whitsbury Manor Stud] tells me the Showcasing/Pivotal cross is one of the best for the stallion, so I hope that turns out to be the case. He is for resale so hopefully he goes the right way." Stauffenberg made a big contribution to the sale as he has had earlier purchased a son of Belardo (Ire), lot 113, for i52,000. Offered by Gerry Callanan's Nanallac Stud the colt is a half-brother to two stakes performers including the Listed Bosra Sham S. winner Cape Factor (Ire) (Oratorio {Ire}). Cont. p3 Philipp Stauffenberg | Goffs TDN EUROPE • PAGE 3 OF 10 • THETDN.COM WEDNESDAY • 6 FEBRUARY 2019 Goffs February Sale Results Cont. "I tried to buy a few by Belardo last year but was unsuccessful, so I am very happy to have purchased this colt," Stauffenberg said afterwards. "He is a quality horse, one of the nicest here today I thought but is a May foal so he will most likely come back for one of the later yearling sales in October. He is closely related to four 100+ rated horses, so his pedigree stacks up and I thought there was a lot of Lope De Vega about him also." The first yearling of the day to breach the six-figure mark was one of the supplementary entries lot 140A, a Sea The Stars (Ire) colt offered by Ballintry Stud which sold to Uzbekistan native Avaz Ismoilov for i100,000. The colt is the second produce out of the mare Fly On The Night (GB) (Equiano {Fr}) who was champion 2-year-old filly in Italy in 2015 and he was reared and Cathy Grassick | Goffs prepped by Joe Rogers of Ballintry Stud who indicated the yearling would probably go to France to race. "I'm delighted with the price," said Rogers. "He's a very "She is a beautiful filly by an established top-class stallion who athletic horse with plenty of quality and comes from a good fast is doing particularly well with fillies," Grassick said after signing family. He's been a pleasure to prep and took everything in his for the half-sister to five winners out of the stakes-placed mare stride." Maramba (Hussonet). "I've bought her on behalf of an existing client who will offer her for resale." After a muted start, the auction was suddenly brought to life when a Dark Angel (Ire) colt from Drumachon Stud came into the ring. Lot 22 is a full-brother to the former Michael Dods- trained multiple stakes winner Easton Angel (Ire) (Dark Angel {Ire}) and the bids came hard and fast for the son of Staceymac (Ire) (Elnadim) with Gay O'Callaghan's bid of i80,000 sealing the deal. Cont. p4 Avaz Ismoilov | Goffs Ballintry Stud is based not far from Fairyhouse Racecourse and is home to around 25 boarding mares and it has been a rewarding few months for the farm. "We sold a Shalaa (Ire) colt here in November for i125,000 and results like this are important to us," Rogers said. Meanwhile Avaz Ismoilov made a number of purchases on Tuesday including a No Nay Never filly (lot 93) for i20,000 and he also owns the Meydan regular Furia Cruzada (Chi) (Newfoundland) who won the G2 Al Maktoum Challenge R2 two years ago and was most recently third in the G2 Cape Verdi last month. Given the year her sire Lope De Vega (Ire) had in 2018, it was no surprise that lot 206 proved popular and and it took a bid of i100,000 from Cathy Grassick to land the Tara Stud consigned yearling. t ROARING LION t MASAR By Japanese super-sire DEEP IMPACT (Sunday Silence) Out of Gr.1-winning European Champion 2YO filly MAYBE Irish Times His second dam is a 2YO Stakes winner over 5f.

Offered by Hill Head, the colt's full-brother Erich Bloch (Ire) showed smart form in maidens last year for Ger Lyons, finishing second three times before winning at Naas in November. Erich Bloch went from a i38,000 foal to a ,100,000 yearling and Houldsworth is hoping for something similar with this March born colt. "I've bought him for myself, Geoffrey [Howson] and a group of friends. His own brother is a smart horse and the stallion had a great year in 2018 so let's hope both continue to progress as he'll be re-offered at the sales in the autumn." Moyglare Stud brought a nicely bred draft of yearlings to the Gay O=Callaghan | Goffs sale and among those they traded on were lot 191, a son of Zoffany (Ire) that sold to Castlehyde Stud for i46,000 and lot 110, a colt by Australia (GB) bought by Goodwill Bloodstock for Goffs February Sale Results Cont. i40,000. Elsewhere Joe Foley snapped up a Starspangledbanner (Aus) colt offered by Airlie Stud. Lot 195 is out of the French "He is a smashing horse, the standout here today for us and a stakes winner Lungwa (Ire) (One Cool Cat) and was hammered full-brother to a very good filly," said the master of Morristown down to the Ballyhane Stud owner for i46,000.

But with Hall of Fame trainer Bob Baffert in his corner, nobody would blame the owner for growing accustomed to success as the norm. Most recently, the duo was forced to regroup after their highly regarded 2-year-old colt Serengeti (Algorithms) crossed the wire a disappointing second as the even-money favorite in his June 10 Santa Anita debut--a performance that was likely a product of studishness in the post parade and greenness on the racetrack, where he struggled with his lead changes and proved no match for Runaway Giant (Ghostzapper) in the stretch. AWe expected him to win the first race, and he just seemed a little confused,@ Fort explained.

This year’s selected runners for the four Group 1 races feature strong contenders from Europe, Asia and North America converging in Hong Kong on Sunday, 10th December 2017. International stars are among the 53 world class selections for the HK$84.5 million LONGINES Hong Kong International Races at Sha Tin Racecourse. Global horseracing’s year-end finale has 29 overseas challengers and is set to feature 23 Group 1 winners, including recent Breeders’ Cup victor Talismanic, Japanese heavyweights Kiseki and Neorealism, Europe’s all-time highest money earner Highland Reel and local hero Werther. The LONGINES HKIR comprises the HK$25 million LONGINES Hong Kong Cup (2000m), the HK$23 million LONGINES Hong Kong Mile (1600m), the HK$18.5 million LONGINES Hong Kong Sprint (1200m) and the HK$18 million LONGINES Hong Kong Vase (2400m).

  • Cheltenham, the Old Course and the New Course
    There are two left-handed courses at Cheltenham, the Old Course and the New Course. The Old No. 372 2003 Price £5.50 Course is oval in shape and about one and a half miles in extent. There are nine fences to a circuit, only one of which is jumped in the final straight. The New Course leaves the old track at Patron J. R. Henderson, Esq. the furthest point from the stands and runs parallel to it before rejoining at the entrance to the Stewards Sir John Cotterell, T. D. Holland-Martin, Esq., C. D. Collins, Esq., Captain A. J. C. Pratt finishing straight. This circuit is a little longer than the Old Course and has ten fences, two of which are jumped in the final straight. The most telling feature of the Old and the New Courses is their testing nature. The fences are stiff and the last half mile is uphill, with a run-in of just over a furlong. The four-mile and two-and-a-half-mile starts are on an extension, with five fences, which bisects both courses almost at right angles. The two-mile start is also on this extension, and two fences are jumped before reaching the main circuit. Two races a year are run on the cross-country course which is laid out in the centre of the conventional tracks.
