(G1) Winner and KEESEP grad

Dear Buyer,

In 2012, I wrote an open letter encouraging buyers to take a close look at the bloodstock developed by WinStar Farm, reminding them that while we operate a premier racing stable, our business model dictates that we offer for sale our best yearlings.

Through August of 2012, we had sold 11 G1 winners and over 40 stakes winners. I am proud to report that we continue to sell G1 winners on an annual basis, having sold 15 G1 winners to date, and WinStar is North America’s No. 1 breeder of graded stakes winners in 2015 with eight. All told, we have bred 84 stakes winners.

WinStar horses are exceptionally well bred, raised right and are a product of careful planning. We are extremely proud of the fact that many WinStar-bred-and-sold horses have demonstrated the proven ability to excel at the highest levels for numerous owners. We call that a win-win.

Super Saver’s Embellish the Lace, winner of this year’s Alabama Stakes (G1) at Saratoga and a $320,000 Keeneland September graduate, and Competitive Edge, also by and victorious in last year’s Hopeful Stakes (G1) and the 2015 Mile Stakes (G3), are just two of the latest testaments to our breeding and sales programs. With results like this, the WinStar brand has rightfully earned the confidence of buyers, and we will always strive to have the best product on the market.

Since we are confident this string of success is going to continue, once again, I invite all buyers to take a closer look at one of our best yearling crops to be offered at public auction to date. At the Keeneland September sale, discover how a WinStar-bred horse can benefit your operation.

Thank you for your consideration of a WinStar yearling in 2015.

Sincerely,

alden 15 G1 Elliott W Winners Sold (859) 873 - 1717 | www.WinStarFarm.com Headline News • PAGE 7 of 19 • thetdn.com Wednesday • Sept. 16, 2015

Fastnet Filly to Spendthrift cont. Spendthrift purchased Yallambee Stud in Victoria, Australia this spring to set up Spendthrift Australia, which will breed, buy, stand stallions and race in Australia (for the TDN feature story, click here). They dipped their toe in the Australian sales at the 2014 Inglis Easter Sale where they purchased their first two Fastnet Rock fillies, Cana (Aus) for A$650,000, and Ameristralia (Aus) for A$400,000. Both fillies are in training with Michael, Wayne and John Hawkes and Cana turned in an impressive barrier trial at Rosehill Tuesday (video). Spendthrift also purchased another Fastnet Rock filly at last year=s Keeneland September Sale. That $450,000 purchase named Cover Song and was seventh in her dirt debut for trainer Carla Gaines at Del Mar July 26. Toffey explained that the Fastnet Rock fillies already in the stable have encouraged him to purchase another. AOur familiarity with Fastnet Rock made it an easier pedigree to go strong on,@ he said. AWe think [Cana is] a big strong filly and John Hawkes has been really positive. We have another Fastnet Rock [Ameristralia] with John that he likes as well, so we=re very familiar with the sire and have tremendous respect for him. We=re more than happy to take one and go race them.@ Spendthrift is also closely tied to the female pedigree, which was appealing to the operation. AThe female family is so strong and one that we=re very familiar with,@ Toffey noted. AWe have a very good son by Into Mischief named Can the Man [out of Smolensk] that we=re standing at stud that=s out of this Fastnet Rock is hot off a group double over the family. His dam is just going out of production, so weekend with Turret Rocks (Ire) in the G2 May Hill S. we=re very really excited about getting another part of at Doncaster and the following day Torcedor (Ire) took that family to keep it going--she=s been a very good the G3 Enterprise S. at Leopardstown. mare for us.@ There were 10 Fastnet Rocks catalogued for Book 1 Fastnet Rock has had a break-out year on the track, of the sale.

ABeing by Fastnet Rock in the U.S. we weren=t quite sure where she would be, and where the appraisal would fall, but that=s in the ballpark we were looking for,@ he offered. AWe made one bid and we were lucky enough to get her. It=s a little more than we wanted to go, but at the end of the day, just the pedigree alone is darn near worth that. The world is shrinking and I think the industry is going to see that where these horses gain acceptance in both hemispheres and different continents, and I think you=re going to continue to see that. I think there=s going to be a continued acceptance, a good horse is a good horse.@ As for the market overall, Toffey was very positive. Over the last two days, the operation sold a Malibu Moon colt, hip 66, to Juddmonte for $500,000; a Malibu Moon filly, hip 326, to Niall Brennan for $300,000; and another Malibu Moon filly, hip 41, to King=s Equine for $90,000.
