The Week in Review, by T.D. Thornton There are quite a few jobs at the racetrack that can be summed up under the general catchphrase Ano one really understands what you do until you screw up.@ Topping this list are stewards, who are tasked with myriad responsibilities that extend far beyond officiating the races. I had the opportunity the other day to explain to a non-racing sports fan how objections, inquiries, and disqualifications are adjudicated. This led to a sideways discussion about how racing is unique from major team sports in that 1) Its officials are often recruited from among the ranks of former participants (i.e., jockeys and trainers), and 2) How stewards frequently have to rule on cases that have nothing to do with the actual running of horse races, and/or on matters that routinely end up contested in courts of law. Yet the in-race officiating will always be the part of the job that draws the most scrutiny and criticism. It should, because it=s the most public-facing aspect of what stewards do.

RIDING A PINHOOKING HIGH BIG WEEK AHEAD AT NEW By Alayna Cullen This year=s yearling sales saw the fruits of last year's foal LOOK NOVEMBER SALE purchases come in for the harvest. While there were plenty of pinhooks that claimed profits, one particular story captured the essence of the industry, that a good horse can come from anywhere: Edie Murray-Hayden=s Dabirsim (Fr) colt that was pinhooked from i56,000 at the 2016 Goffs November Foal Sale to i500,000 at the recent Goffs Orby Sale. The Goffs Foal sale has been a happy hunting ground for Co. Kildare native Murray-Hayden for some years and with the sale kicking off today, there will be plenty watching out for the horsewoman in the ring. Having grown up around horses--her father was an equine vet and both parents were keen hunts people-- Murray-Hayden spent an idyllic childhood surrounded by ponies and good Kildare countryside. Her farm, Gormanstown Stud, boasts picturesque views spanning over the Wicklow hills and is set in rolling pasture. Cont. p2 A foal strikes a pose during inspections at Goffs on Sunday Alayna Cullen IN TDN AMERICA TODAY THE WEEK IN REVIEW Selling at day one of the new look Goffs November Foal Sale T.D. Thornton has the latest Week in Review, where he kicks off Monday at 10 a.m. with 279 foals catalogued for the examines whether the myriad of duties that fall under the first session of a three-day Part 1 sale of foals. On Thursday the responsibility of the stewards should be adjusted. Click or tap focus then switches to breeding stock with two days of fillies here to go straight to TDN America. and mares before Part 2 of the foal sale resumes on Saturday and Sunday. Trade is likely to heat up a lot quicker with this new format, as the foals with the strongest pedigrees are brought to the market in the first three days as opposed to the last three days in previous years. At last year=s sale, foals from the Wildenstein Dispersal provided the top three prices headed by a daughter of Siyouni (Fr) and Amerique (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) that sold to Shadwell for i775,000, and while the absence of such a famed draft this time around will make it a challenge to match that figure, there is enough sire power represented throughout the week to suggest trade will be brisk. High-end investors have a couple of opportunities to acquire a daughter of the mighty Galileo (Ire); the first chance presenting itself early on Wednesday when lot 541 steps into the ring. This daughter of Inca Princess (Ire) Holy Roman Emperor (Ire) is a full-sister to Group 1 winner Johannes Vermeer (Ire) and also Group 2 winner Elizabeth Browning (Ire), who made 700,000 gns in Newmarket last month.

The colt, offered by Ardrums House Stud, is a half-brother to the stakes winner Lily=s Rainbow (Ire) (Intikhab) and the pedigree got a recent boost when the foal=s 2-year-old full-sister Julia=s Magic (Ire) broke her maiden at Dundalk on Nov. 10. The filly was the subject of a glowing reference from her trainer Denise Foster after the race who commented, ADare I say it, I think she's better than Lily's Rainbow.@ A number of stallions are represented with their first crop of foals and one of these, Cable Bay (Ire), is the sire of lot 193, a filly with an international pedigree whose first generation features stakes winners or performers in Ireland, Australia, America and Japan, headed by Dariana (Aus) (Redoute=s Choice {Aus}), winner of the G1 Queensland Derby in Australia in 2010.

Speaking of the biggest lessons learned from her experiences, Murray-Hayden said, "Working with different horses makes you wonder what made the good horses good. You have to be observant. Anything to do with horses is all observation, watching them work, handling them, and looking for all the little signs they give off. It's attention to detail.

"Normally I am very aware of who is bidding in the ring but with him a lot of people were on the top tier. There were several people playing for him and once it got to i250,000 I got a bit lost. I didn't know what was going on. To be dropped at i500,000 was pretty spectacular." Looking ahead to this year's foal sale Murray-Hayden gave a snippet into what she may be looking at on the sales ground. "Of the first-season sires I like Gutaifain [she tried to buy Gutaifan as a foal in 2013]. He's a good-looking horse. I think they will sell very well. I'm looking forward to seeing the Golden Horns too, but I imagine they will be quite dear." In both the sport horse and Thoroughbred world, Murray-Hayden has enjoyed deserved success. She laid the foundation for her achievements through years of hard work and now with a facility to be proud of and a natural eye for talent, the future will, hopefully, include many more successes on both the race and eventing fields.

WITH KEVIN BLAKE by Gary King The TDN=s Gary King sat down with racing journalist and broadcaster Kevin Blake, who also is a frequent contributor to the TDN, regarding his new role working with Joseph O=Brien.

GK: You are best known as a racing writer, but there have been numerous reports in the press about you having a new role as a race planner and analyst with Joseph O'Brien. Could you elaborate on what exactly it entails?

KB: I've been working with Joseph since Royal Ascot and it's exciting to be a small part of his team. Race planning and analysis are the biggest parts of the job, but there is plenty of variety in the role between researching pedigrees for the sales, sourcing horses in training and other bit and pieces.

I would generally be a very calm watcher of a horse race, but there was a fair bit of jumping and roaring in the closing stages. It was a serious thrill.

GK: The horse has performed admirably throughout the year. What led Joseph to believe he had a strong chance of success at Flemington?

KB: Given his connections and his profile, the Melbourne Cup was always in everyone's mind for Rekindling, it was just a case of deciding whether he would run in it this year or wait until next year. Lloyd and Nick Williams live and breathe the race and they were adamant that he had the right profile to have a go at it this year. How right they were.

NO SURGERY FOR WALSH Irish champion jumps jockey Ruby Walsh will not require surgery on the broken tibia he suffered when falling from Let=s Dance (Fr) (Poliglote {GB}) at Punchestown on Saturday. Walsh endured a torrid day with three falls in total, the final one proving the worst and he was due to partner the former Champion hurdler Faugheen (Ire) (Germany) who made a scintillating comeback in Sunday=s G1 Morgiana Hurdle at Punchestown. Walsh, 38, now faces several months on the sidelines but the prognosis that the jockey does not require surgery has left Turf Club chief medical officer Dr Adrian McGoldrick more upbeat about his recovery period. "The leg doesn't require surgery, which is very reassuring. It's in a plaster cast,@ McGoldrick said on Sunday. AIt's too early to Mick Winters | Racing Post say how long he'll be out for.

There will be no small trainers left in the land with fines like that. To pay that sort of fine I would nearly have to have some sort of collection done for me.@
