ANTICIPATION HIGH FOR BELMONT ALSO-RANS START SECOND HALF IN JIM DANDY EMPIRE MAKER YEARLINGS Two months ago, Winchell Thoroughbreds’ Tenfold (Curlin) came less than a length from upsetting Justify (Scat Daddy)’s bid for history. Saturday, with the undefeated Triple Crown winner now retired from racing, the lightly raced homebred will be one of five sophomore colts looking to forge to the front of their division in the second half of the year starting with the GII Jim Dandy S. at Saratoga. A blowout winner on debut Feb. 9 at Oaklawn, Tenfold repeated in an optional claimer there Mar. 18 before running fifth in the GI Arkansas Derby.

Gainesway and Don Alberto Corp. partnered to bring Empire Maker back to Kentucky for the 2016 breeding season, and with his first U.S.-sired yearlings since then set to sell at Saratoga and Kentucky in the coming weeks, TDN’s Lucas Marquardt caught up with Gainesway’s Michael Hernon.

LM: You partnered with Don Alberto Corp. to repatriate Empire Maker. Why did you target him?

MH: It was a wonderful piece of business to combine with Don Alberto and bring Empire Maker here to Gainesway. His first U.S. crop since his return are now yearlings. He really dominates his mares. They look the part. Of course, he was a three-time Grade I-winning champion himself, and he's become a hugely influential stallion with the likes of Pioneer of the Nile, Bodemeister, and that line which has produced champion Classic Empire and the top young stallion Cairo Prince. Empire Maker has now sired 11 Grade I winners. He's hugely influential. Cont. p3 PUBLISHER & CEO Sue Morris Finley @suefinley [email protected]

LM: He had just three weanlings sell from three on offer last year, but they averaged $343,333. That put him as the #5 leading sire by that metric. Are you expecting a similar reception from the market in 2018?

MH: I think the market is excited and aware of these first yearlings since Empire Maker's return to stud duty here at Gainesway. There will be quite a few of them, roughly 35 yearlings, at Keeneland in September. There are five cataloged at Saratoga. So, there's plenty of excitement about him...He's been strongly supported from a blend of commercial breeders and breeders who breed to race, so he's got a great opportunity. He has high class mares. We know he's the real deal, and we expect quite a bit of further success here on the racetracks of America for Empire Maker.

LM: How have you managed Empire Maker’s books since he’s returned?

MH: Based on his age, we limit his numbers. We go for quality mares. He bred the 130 mares in year one. He's highly fertile-- his fertility is well over 90% each year that he's bred here at Gainesway. He is now 18, so he's still a teenager, but we gotta look after him. He's the asset. He's the franchise. We look for him breeding successfully well into his 20s, under this management.

LM: Empire Maker has always seemed like a sensible horse. Do you see those traits in his offspring, too?

MH: He's kind. He's got a lovely temperament, and we're seeing that passed on to his colts and fillies now, as they mature into yearlings, and I think that equips them well as part of the make- up of top race horses--this very great nature that he had that he passes on. They're competitive when they need be, but they're very kind and tractable horses, and that helps them endure through the rigors of a race career at the highest level.

LM: With Pioneerof the Nile and Bodemeister, Empire Maker’s sons will be held in high regard. But as the broodmare sire of 26 stakes winners, Empire Maker is also making a lasting mark with this daughters, as well.

MH: Empire Maker is certainly producing stock in his mold. They're big, rangy horses. They stand over plenty of ground. They're Classic-looking horses, and I think there's a real consistency with them. When you look for an Empire Maker at the sales, you're going to get a replica of him himself, and of course he was a champion, triple Grade I winner--and of course, now hugely influential sire of colts and fillies. It's all right there.

IMPERIAL HINT TRIES FOR FIRST GRADE I IN Woodford Racing’s Switzerland (Speightstown) spent the first seven starts of his career burning money, but has turned the VANDERBILT corner this term. Losing at 2-5, 9-10, 2-5, 4-5, 7-2, 9-5 and 2-1 at three, he finally broke through in the Aqueduct slop Feb. 16.

Promises Fulfilled jogs at Saratoga | Sarah Andrew You’ll be hard-pressed to find a more enervating pace in New York racing this year than the one that developed on the June 9 GI Belmont S. undercard in the GII Woody Stephens S. The race, a typical landing spot for 3-year-old colts who have shown speed but not the stamina required to compete in the Triple Crown series, had all of that speed on that display, as the leader clicked through a quarter-mile in :21.46 and a half in :43.68. Saturday, several of the pace actors from that day will return in the GII Amsterdam S. hoping for an easier early tempo and thus, a more successful outcome. Leading the vanguard in the Woody Stephens was Robert Baron’s Promises Fulfilled (Shackleford), who pulled off an 18-1, Sadler’s Joy | Sarah Andrew frontrunning shocker in the GII Fountain of Youth S. in March.

>TDN Rising Star= Crystal Ocean looked to have a major leap to MORE QUESTIONS THAN undertake to get near either that rival or fellow Gosden celebrity Enable (GB) (Nathaniel {Ire}). As the filly went to the ANSWERS IN KING GEORGE sidelines and Cracksman showed some cracks, Crystal Ocean kept performing. Without assuming the same manner of authority as one of Freemason Lodge=s best winners of this, Harbinger (GB) (Dansili {GB}), he has followed a similar Newbury-Ascot route. The opposition was far from vintage in either the May 19 G3 Aston Park S. or June 23 G2 Hardwicke S., but his progression has had a metronomic aspect to it. Poet=s Word has already been to the peak, having crushed Cracksman fair and square in the June 20 G1 Prince of Wales=s S. if Stoute has an inkling as to how it will go, he is not letting anybody in. AThe official handicapper has one pound between them and we don=t work them together at home,@ he said. AThey=re very easy and straightforward horses. There=s nothing complex about either colt.

It is currently a race of outstanding questions. Will it rain hard enough for Cracksman (GB) (Frankel {GB}) to attempt to fulfil Sir Anthony Oppenheimer=s quest to win the contest that is so close to his heart? If it does, is Cracksman the colt he was on Champions Day? Which of Sir Michael Stoute=s seemingly rock-solid duo Crystal Ocean (GB) (Sea the Stars {Ire}) and Poet=s Word (Ire) (Poet=s Voice {GB}) is best? What can Hydrangea (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) offer as compensation for Ballydoyle=s current malaise? Can Rostropovich (Ire) (Frankel {GB}) give an indication of how the 3-year-olds compare with their elders? All will be answered in due course from the cauldron within a heatwave. Winning the prize as the coolest customer will be Stoute, whose ambitions for an outright record of six wins in this prestige event seemed limited at the beginning of the season. For all that Poet=s Word had proven himself a solid Group 1 performer, he had the small matter of a seven-length deficit to make up on Cracksman from the Champion S.
