  • Fashionably Late
    drf.com/breeding DAILY RACING FORM Sunday, February 9, 2014 PAGE 11 fashionably late JOHN P. SPARKMAN As the stud career of the late, great Storm Cat began to wind down in the early 2000s, the Kentucky breeding indus- try needed a successor as the designated young sire of sires. The obvious choice seemed to be Unbridled’s Song, who had begun his stud career brilliantly, with Breeders’ Cup Distaff winner Unbridled Elaine, Grade 1 winner Songandaprayer, and multiple Grade 2 winner Even the Score in his first crop and Grade 1 winner Buddha in his second. As recently as the middle of last year, however, the investment the breeding industry made in sons of Unbridled’s Song looked like an expensive wager gone very wrong, since Even the Score, the sire of Dullahan and Take the Points, was his only son to have sired a Grade 1 winner. That lackluster record began to improve dramatically in the last half of the year, as Unbridled’s Song’s sons First Defence, Benoit & AssociAtes Dunkirk, and Rockport Harbor all added Fashion Plate wins the Las Virgenes Stakes on Feb. 1, becoming the first Grade 1 Grade 1 winners to their stud records. winner for Unbridled’s Song’s son Old Fashioned. After last Saturday’s Grade 1 Las Virgenes Stakes at Santa Anita, another Honest Man, both by Unbridled’s Song, with similar disdain in the 1 1/8-mile, name can be added to that list, a name that were only a few months away from their Grade 2 Remsen Stakes at Aqueduct a could turn out to be the most promising maiden victories.

SAINT BALLADO UNBRIDLED’S SONG 2 Dear Breeder, Taylor Made is a family owned and operated farm built on honesty, long-lasting relationships and horsemanship. Taylor Made Stallions’ mode of operation has always been – and remains – to focus on standing quality stallions that provide breeders great opportunities, whether they are breeding to race or sell. 2013 was a bounce-back year for commercial breeders, including a GSVRIVXYVRMRK/IIRIPERH7ITXIQFIVWEPIXLEXWE[KEMRWEGVSWWXLIFSEVHLMKLPMKLXIHF]WIZIR½KYVI]IEVPMRKWERHFSEWXMRK the third highest average of all time.

Last year also marked a bittersweet landmark for one of the great sires of our time. While reaching 17 Grade 1 winners over his historic career in 2013, Unbridled’s Song passed away at the age of 20. Every person at Taylor Made has been touched by this amazing animal over the years. He leaves a lasting legacy that will never be forgotten across the industry he served so well. And yet there is much to look forward to in 2014. The legacy continues with our newest stallion, Graydar, the Grade 1-winning son of Unbridled’s Song. One of the most stunning physicals to come to the breeding shed in years, Graydar had a brilliant VEGIGEVIIVMRGPYHMRKEGSQQERHMRKZMGXSV]MRXLI(SRR,ERHMGET + EX+YPJWXVIEQ4EVO;IEVIGSR½HIRXLI[MPPFI a favorite among breeders as Taylor Made Stallions adds another chapter to its storied tradition.

  • September Yearling Sale 75Th Annual
    September Yearling Sale 75th Annual The Keeneland September Yearling Sale has evolved from humble beginnings to become the global marketplace for Thoroughbred yearlings. From 1944, the inaugural year, through 1948, the fall yearlings were sold in an auction which included broodmares, weanlings, stallions and horses of other ages. In 1949, approximately half of the yearlings were sold in a separate October sale and the remainder in a November mixed stock sale as usual. In 1950, the yearlings were sold separately by session, but in the same week as the other stock. In 1951, the fall yearling sales were set farther apart from the fall mixed stock sale, with the yearling auctions preceding the other sale by a week or more. In 1960, the yearling sales were moved to September. In 1981, the yearling sale was held in two four-day segments. Selected sessions were inaugurated in 1989. Coolmore’s M.V. Magnier paid $2.7 million for the highest-priced horse of the 2017 Keeneland September Yearling Sale, a filly by Tapit who is a full sister to 2017 Gold Cup at Santa Anita (G1) Keeneland/Photos by Z Keeneland/Photos winner Cupid.
