EGAN COMES OF AGE VOLCANIC SKY ON FIRE IN NAD AL SHEBA TROPHY WITH CUP WIN Godolphin's royal blue silks were seemingly everywhere at Meydan on Thursday, as the operation swept four of the five Thoroughbred races on the card and both group stakes with Volcanic Sky (GB) ( {Ire}) in the G3 Nad Al Sheba Trophy and Star Safari (GB) (Sea The Stars {Ire}) in the G3 Dubai Millennium S. The former was coming in off a win in a Feb. 11 2410-metre handicap score locally and gave his trainer Saeed bin Suroor and Frankie Dettori a win on the card. The bay sat in a tracking second just ahead of Global Heat (Ire) (Toronado {Ire}) past the wire the first time as Corsen (GB) (Cape Cross {Ire}) showed the way by daylight. Positions were largely static heading into the final of two turns. Volcanic Sky pounced midway on the bend and was pursued by Away He Goes (Ire) (Farhh {GB}) turning into the lane.

The fact that the youngster is the retained rider for such a respected international owner/breeder speaks volumes for the regard in which he has been held since being crowned champion apprentice in 2017. Rarely has the phrase 'an old head on young shoulders' been more apt than when it comes to Egan. In conversation, he is considered and courteous in his responses, even when it comes to discussing the biggest win of his career to date-a result which would entitle him to crow a little. Speaking from Bahrain, where he has been riding throughout the winter, he says of the aftermath of Saturday's Saudi Cup victory, "It's just starting to calm down now. I got loads of messages on what's app and social media and I'm still replying to them all now. Since I've come back to Bahrain I've been riding a few lots early every morning so that brings you back to planet Earth. But it was a fantastic weekend. It was great to have dad there and it was a fantastic effort by the Saudi Cup team just to get the meeting to go ahead at all.

TAKING STOCK: FIRST-CROP PRIME FACTOR PUTS TWO HEARTS FARM BACK IN THE SPOTLIGHT By Christie DeBernardis SUCCESS IN THE CLASSICS Tony Braddock's Two Hearts Farm made quite a few headlines back in 2015 when their mare Fioretti (Bernardini) marked herself as a Breeders' Cup contender with wins in the Roxelana S. and GII TCA S. With that mare now retired to the Two Hearts Farm broodmare band, talented sophomore Prime Factor (Quality Road) has put his breeder back in the spotlight and looks to add another feather to Braddock's cap Saturday in the GII Fountain of Youth S. Braddock was interested in horses and racing from a young age, attending fairs near his home in North Bergen, New Jersey, to learn more about the various equine breeds. He later moved to Virginia after retiring from the Army and decided to become part of the racing industry he had long admired. AI got into the business in 1974 and that is when I met the Hamiltons here in Virginia,@ Braddock said. AI resigned from the Army and got into businesses in Northern Virginia. I got involved Mishriff | Horsephotos with horses in Middleburg [Virginia] and began breeding.@ Cnt. p7 By Sid Fernando IN TDN EUROPE TODAY Did you notice that Mishriff (Ire) (Make Believe {GB}), the big Saudi Cup winner on Saturday, is a member of his sire's first EGAN COMES OF AGE WITH SAUDI CUP WIN crop? Emma Berry speaks with jockey David Egan, who piloted Mishriff A 4-year-old homebred for Prince A. A. Faisal's Nawara Stud, (Ire) (Make Believe {GB}) to win the $20-million Saudi Cup. Click or tap here to go straight to TDN Europe. Mishriff is by the Faisal-raced Make Believe, a Dubawi (Ire)-line stallion at Ballylinch Stud in Ireland. Last year, Mishriff won the G1 Prix du Jockey-Club, the French Derby equivalent, and is one of three first-crop winners of that Classic in the last five years, along with Brametot (Ire) (Rajsaman {Fr}) in 2017 and Almanzor (Fr) (Wootton Bassett {GB}) in 2016. In between these first-crop colts were winners by proven sires: Sottsass (Fr), by Siyouni (Fr), in 2019, and Study of Man (Ire), by Deep Impact (Jpn), in 2018. What is it about first-crop Classic winners? Mishriff's sire Make Believe, for example, is a first-crop son of Makfi (GB) and won the G1 Poule d'Essai des Poulains, the 2000 Guineas equivalent. And Makfi, a first-crop son of G1 Irish 2000 Guineas winner Dubawi, accounted for the G1 2000 Guineas itself. Dubawi, of course, was from the first and only crop of Dubai Millennium (GB). Last year in the U.S., two of the three Classics fell to first-crop runners: Gl Belmont S. winner Tiz the Law is by Constitution; and Gl Preakness S. winner Swiss Skydiver is by Daredevil.

best mares in their first crops--whether by pedigree, race record, physique, or a combination thereof--they tend to have more successes with this crop than others, especially if they are any kind of horse. I wrote of this here on July 12, 2019, in "First Cont. from p1 Crops of Sires Are Potent," noting that of the top 20 active First-crop Classic success isn't a fluke, at least in recent times, leading sires of 2018 by earnings standing in N.

This Side Up cont.

Daredevil | Louise Reinegal Eleven of these 39 stallions, or 28%--Daredevil, Constitution, Bodemeister, Maclean's Music, Uncle Mo, Curlin, Birdstone, Medaglia d'Oro, Street Cry (Ire), Distorted Humor, and Maria's Mon--were represented by first-crop Classic winners, with Birdstone astonishingly represented by two, Gl Kentucky Derby winner Mind That Bird and Belmont S. winner Summer Bird in 2009. If you add the seven Classic winners from second crops to this total, then 18 of 39 sires, or 46%, were successful. These are big numbers for unproven horses, and it helps to explain in part why first-crop yearlings--and some from second crops--are in demand at the sales. Keep in mind that we're only looking at first-crop Grade I Classic successes in this chart, but if you consider other races, you'll find significant examples of similar success. Take 3-year-old Pink Kamehameha (Jpn), the Japanese-trained winner of the Saudi Derby, who is from the first crop of his sire Leontes (Jpn), just as last season's champion 2-year-old filly Vequist is a member of her sire Nyquist's first crop and recent 4-year-old Japanese Group 1 winner Cafe Pharoah is one of three top-level first-crop winners for American Pharoah, and so on.

Commercial Breeding Paradigm To better process first-crop success, first understand that commercial breeders now dominate the industry, particularly in Kentucky. Note from the chart that 32 of the 48 Classic winners, or 67%, went through the sales ring, and this figure includes homebred winners American Pharoah, Union Rags, and Animal Kingdom. Even counting these three in both categories, there were only 17 homebred Classic winners from 48, or 35%. War Emblem was a homebred sold privately before the Classics, and Funny Cide, a $22,000 yearling, was sold privately before he raced.

Taking Stock cont. level of risk they are not willing to assume, because what they breed is designated for the sales ring and a healthy return on investment with minimum risk is paramount to their survival. It's for this reason that stallions specifically in their third, fourth, and fifth years at stud see their patronage drop. There's also a commensurate drop in the quality of their mares, too, and stud managers, instead of being picky about who gets in, actively solicit mares and are all open arms to anyone that can pay the fee--which is usually significantly reduced by this time from when the horse first entered stud. Homebreeders, however, aren't averse to using stallions in their third, fourth, and fifth years at stud - Birdstone (4th crop), California Chrome (4th crop), and Country House (5th crop)-- because selling isn't their priority. However, because their numbers have decreased through the years as noted, so, too, has patronage for these horses. GI Kentucky Derby hero Nyquist is from And because commercial breeders now dominate the business the first crop of Uncle Mo | Sarah Andrew and control many of the best mares at each stud-fee range, Contrast this to 50 years ago over the 20-year period of 1951 first-crop runners (and some from second crops) should to 1970 when 30 of 49 Classic winners, or 61%, were continue to do well, in line with the trends we're seeing. homebreds, with only one these, Northern Dancer, offered for Sid Fernando is president and CEO of Werk Thoroughbred sale at auction, at E.P.

It's not an urban legend that there's been a significant shift to the commercial marketplace from breeding to race, and these numbers illustrate this, inter alia, as lawyers would say. The savviest of commercial breeders primarily tend to patronize two types of stallions: first-year horses (and to a lesser extent, some second-year sires) and proven stallions with more than five crops. Homebreeders are more likely to mostly use proven horses (unless they had something to do with an unproven horse, as Prince Faisal did with Mishriff's sire), and this is illustrated well in the chart. When first-crop stallions weren't involved, most of the Classic winners were by proven sires, such as Lookin At Lucky, War Front, Awesome Again, Scat Daddy, Tapit, Curlin, Malibu Moon, Dixie Union, Smart Strike, A.P. Indy, Dynaformer, etc., for commercial and homebreeders alike. But note that of the 17 homebred Classic winners, only two--Street Sense and Summer Bird--were by first-year sires. Commercial breeders prefer first-year sires because there's less downside risk selling their yearlings compared to second-, third-, fourth-, and fifth-year stallions. For example, as I've written here previously, a second-crop yearling will come to market when the sire's first crop is two, and if those first 2-year-olds fail to perform by sales time, the second-crop yearlings will get punished in the ring. Likewise, a breeder bringing a third-crop yearling to the sale will have to contend with the success or failure of the sire's 3-year-olds and 2-year-olds, and so on.

The researchers at Penn Vet were able to detect the gene doping agent in equine joint fluid after it was administered intra-articularly and in blood for up to 28 days, making it useful for both pre-race and out-of-competition testing. More work is being done by Penn Vet with the goal of someday creating "biological passports" and screening tests that would successfully identify multiple gene doping agents for even longer periods of time. Researchers believe biomarkers could also be key in detecting gene doping as well as predicting injuries before they happen. "We still have a lot of work to do to better understand the nature of biomarkers and how to fully harness their capabilities, but the science for detecting gene doping is getting there and Churchill Downs | Coady much more quickly than any of us could have anticipated when Bill Carstanjen, CDI=s chief executive officer, said that the we started this research," said Robinson.

NYRA UPDATES JOCKEY PROTOCOLS FOR AQUEDUCT

LAUREL AIMS FOR APR. 17 START TO TURF SEASON By T.D. Thornton Although winter weather has delayed a planned aeration project to aid with drainage on the Laurel Park turf course, track management is projecting that with a little help from Mother Nature, grass racing could begin by Apr. 17. Speaking at the Feb. 25 Maryland Racing Commission meeting, Sal Sinatra, the president of the Maryland Jockey Club, which owns Laurel and Pimlico Race Course, described the turf maintenance as similar to work that is often undertaken on golf courses. Except that at Laurel, Sinatra said, this "deep drill and fill" involves going down "12 to 18 inches instead of the usual eight Coglianese inches."
