Ups and Downs Show Constant Class of Oxx Cont FRIDAY, 6 JULY 2018 In the years since, however, Oxx has been dropped by both the UPS AND DOWNS SHOW Aga Khan, owner of Sinndar and his principal patron until 2013, and the Tsui family, who owned Sea The Stars but moved their CONSTANT CLASS OF OXX horses from Ireland in 2016. So far this season Oxx has been able to field 18 horses; just three of them winners. Nonetheless a conversation with this particular wise man remains an unchanging source of equilibrium in a changing world, without the faintest inflection of resentment or defensiveness. Instead there is such comforting familiarity to his bearing--benign, calm and modest--that you feel cheapened by your own sense of affront on his behalf. "People were very upset," he admits, quietly bemused. "More than I was, in a way. Of course I was upset, and it affected our business and our livelihood. But you know, I've been in this business all my life. I know what it's like. I'm kind of mentally prepared for anything, and was probably the person--well, I won't say least upset, but I wasn't as upset as a lot of people around me, and a lot of people well disposed to me.@ Cont. p2 IN TDN AMERICA TODAY SALES LANDSCAPE CHANGING AT KEENELAND John Oxx | racingfotos.com Officials at Keeneland have tweaked their upcoming September and November sales and have announced the reintroduction of the By Chris McGrath April 2YO sale for 2019, including a horses-of-racing-age section. According to Chinese proverb, "a single conversation with a Click or tap here to go straight to TDN America. wise man is better than 10 years of study." But that conversation is going to prove still more instructive if the wise man has himself just had a decade like that dividing John Oxx from the emergence of his greatest champion. It is a study that perhaps teaches us more about people than horses. Ten years ago next Friday, Oxx saddled a 2-year-old colt by Cape Cross (Ire) for his first start at The Curragh, just over the road from a stable that counted Derby and Arc winner Sinndar (Ire) (Grand Lodge) among a litany of international stars since Ridgewood Pearl (GB) (Indian Ridge {Ire}) had won the Breeders' Cup Mile in 1995: from stayers like Enzeli (Ire) (Kahyasi {Ire}) to sprinters like Namid (GB) (Indian Ridge {GB}). As it happens, Sea The Stars (Ire) finished only fourth that day. But he was never beaten again, proving himself one of the most accomplished Thoroughbreds of the modern era in racking up six Group 1 wins the following year. In the process, the horse's competitive ego appeared to expand into a limelight left vacant by his trainer's innate humility.

If you own the favourite for a Classic, and the horse comes up with a problem two days beforehand, would you rather your trainer was the latest fashionable young trainer, experiencing this particular issue for the first time--or John Oxx, trainer of 11 Classic winners, experiencing it for the 101st time? If it is not his nature to volunteer that point, it is one Oxx is prepared to acknowledge. "When I think back earlier in my career, even when I was winning loads of races, I made plenty of mistakes too," he admits.

And temperament is John Berry the most transmissible of all the traits. Talent gets diluted by Kevin Blake mares much more easily than temperament.

Cont. p4 TDN EUROPE/INTERNATIONAL • PAGE 4 OF 13 • THETDN.COM FRIDAY • 6 JULY 2018 John Oxx cont. With all due respect for Oxx's determination to look forward, it would be churlish to ignore the anniversary that has brought us to his door. And, with the legacy of Sea The Stars enriched at Royal Ascot by Stradivarius (GB) and Crystal Ocean (GB), we should celebrate anew the mastery and adventure with which Oxx first promoted his genetic wares. Having seen the unbeaten records of other champions defended with increasing nervousness, in fact, you wonder whether it actually helped that Sea The Stars did not win on debut? "Michael Kinane, particularly as he got older, was very gentle on horses having their first run," Oxx recalls. "He always said you have to leave them with a good taste in their mouth. When I was young and foolish, I used to have them pretty ready to win first time out, if they could.

    TUESDAY, 13 OCTOBER 2020 CURRAGH LEGEND JOHN OXX TO RETIRE CAMILLERI=S KINGMAN By John Berry COLT LEADS THE WAY This year we have become accustomed to things becoming very different. On Monday it was announced that we shall have to get used to something else: next year there will be no John Oxx training at Currabeg on the edge of The Curragh, with the legendary Irish trainer having revealed his intention to retire at the end of November. Few readers of this publication will be able to recall such a situation, but even for those whose racing memories are restricted to some or all of the 42 seasons in which the current John Oxx has been at the helm of this most dependable of vessels, this truly is the end of an era. John Oxx Sr began training in 1943 at the age of 33. Seven years later he bought Currabeg, and 70 years of sustained excellence in that iconic stable began. Oxx remained among the leaders of his profession for decades, most obviously being champion trainer in 1958.

Orlandi speaks with TDN's Alayna Cullen about his new stallions. TDN: Micheal, how did Compas Stallions come about? MO: Well, this is going to be my fifth year in business. I started off originally with Compas Equine as a bloodstock agent and from there I went into Compas Stallions. This is my fourth year involved with stallions.

  • John Oxx by Donn Mcclean
    John Oxx By Donn McClean Irish Oaks day 1960, a young boy, just days short of his 10th birthday, climbs the stand at The Curragh. It is the old stand on the far side of the winning post, the one where the `ordinary' folk tend to congregate, and the balcony at the top is packed, but John Oxx is able to squeeze and squirm his way through the bodies to gain a good vantage point at the front. There are major benefits to being 10. John's father, also John, has two fillies in the Oaks, Azurine and Lynchris, but it is Lynchris who is the focus of the boy's interest. Bought by his father himself, she has the potential to be top class, and she has a favourite's chance of landing a first Irish Oaks, a first Classic, for trainer John Oxx. It is a gloomy day, and young John peers intently up the straight into the murk, no big screen in front of him, no small screens behind him, just a pair of naked eyes and a heart that races. And then he sees her, first a grey blur then a vivid picture of grace, Lynchris and Australian Bill Williamson emerging from the mist, clear of their field. Truth be told, the youngster doesn't see another horse, and Lynchris has an easy six lengths in hand at the line. Some 48 years on, and the Oxx association with the Irish Oaks remains constant. Lynchris was the first of four winners of the Classic for Oxx senior and, although there was a 30-year lull without an official Oxx Oaks victory after Pampalina's win in 1967, normal service was resumed with victory for Ebadiyla in 1997, and continued when Winona landed the Classic the following year.
