BEST FOR LAST AT BROODMARE SALE NINETEEN SET FOR Book 1 of the Magic Millions National Broodmare Sale came to INVESTEC DERBY a close on the Gold Coast on Thursday and the best was indeed saved for the last day, with the Group 2 winner and multiple Group 1-placed Gregers (Aus) (Commands {Aus}) (lot 1240) topping the three-day sale with a bid of A$1.75-million from Yu Long Investments. That toppled the A$1.7-million commanded by Nurse Kitchen (NZ) (Savabeel {Aus}) during Tuesday=s opening session. With two mares bringing seven figures on Thursday, the cumulative gross for 711 sold reached a record A$105,530,000.

The average was up 10.5% to A$148,425, while the median climbed 14.3% to A$80,000. Thirty-seven were sold for a half-million or more compared to 26 last year.

David Sykes, director of equine health and welfare for the British Horseracing Authority, said, "Cases of the neurological form of EHV-1 are occasional and, while the disease can be extremely serious for the affected horses, with proper surveillance and disease control the virus can usually be effectively contained. While the risk of the virus being transmitted in a controlled raceday environment is relatively small, it is in theory possible that horses from the yard in question may have been infectious some time before the disease was diagnosed. For this reason we have taken measures Harry Angel | Racing Post to alert trainers, as well as racecourses and veterinary surgeons, to be vigilant to the clinical signs. The decision to close the further yards is based on the identification of risk factors, namely the proximity of yards and the sharing of horse boxes.

CASSE SEES NO REASON TO GRYDER THE RIDER RETURNS TO CALIFORNIA By Lynne Snierson STOP NOW WITH >EMPIRE= AGo West, young man@ was terrific advice when dispensed by Horace Greeley in the 19th Century, and it works as well today for the peripatetic Aaron Gryder. After picking up only eight mounts while in Monmouth Park=s jockey colony during the current meet, he packed up and headed out Monday. This Friday, the winner of 3,727 career races and 84 graded stakes begins anew at Northern California=s Golden Gate Fields. AThere is a big pool of riders for a small pool of horses at Monmouth, so you=d better be one of the ones in demand. I wasn=t in demand,@ Gryder, 47, said. AThe purpose of going back East two winters ago at Aqueduct was to generate some business. I did decent the first year, but last year during the winter I didn=t do so well, so I figured Monmouth was a place Mark Casse said Classic Empire trained better for the Preakness where I=d have an opportunity to ride for some of the New York (above) than he did for the Kentucky Derby | Horsephotos outfits and the New Jersey people I used to ride for.@ Cont. p5

The latter=s trainer, Mark Casse, is approaching the year=s final Classic with a can-do attitude and with the impression that his barn houses the 3-year-old king of the hill, despite defeats in Kentucky and Maryland. AI think I do,@ Casse told media assembled on an NTRA national teleconference Thursday afternoon when asked if he believes he conditions the divisional leader. AOur horse just had unbelievably bad luck in the Kentucky Derby.
