BULLETIN

Zenyatta Full of Pep at Hollywood Unbeaten Zenyatta (Street Cry {Ire}) proved a handful for exercise rider Steve Willard during her 1 1/2-mile gallop on Hollywood Park=s Cushion Track yes- terday morning. AShe did great,@ Willard said of the GI BC Classic favorite. AJust terrific. She didn=t want to pull up and said, >Hey, let=s do some more.=@ Trainer John Shirreffs added, AThat Zenyatta was a good gallop. No Sarah K Andrew photo concerns at this point. Although, I do want to get her on the [dirt] training track again this week and off the synthetics.@ The six-year-old is slated to breeze at Hollywood Saturday, and will be flown to Kentucky Tuesday.

Goldikova cont. Head added, AShe is travelling to America on Saturday--it takes 12 hours--she ships to Louisville or Lexington with a stop at Stansted to put the English horses on the plane. She is a very good traveler and does not sweat much. We had a very bad draw last year--we had ridden from the front in the Prix de la Foret and got beat and so I told Olivier [Peslier] to wait a bit with her--he was a bit further back than we wanted, but that is the way races turn out. This year we led again in the Prix de la Foret, but she did not fight with him--that was the big difference. She is very fast--she loves the speed. There is no doubt that is why she is so brilliant in the States, because they start fast which we do not do here--the stalls open and every- body stops and holds back. The faster they go, the better she is, and firm ground is good for her. Her last good work will be on Thursday with Olivier, but she does not need much--she is very forward in her prepara- tion. She will then just tick over in America. She is extraordinary. For a trainer to have a horse like her is unbelievable. I don't think I will train a better horse--she is very special. She is a dream to train--you can do whatever you want with a horse like that. It is a bit stressful to train her sometimes but, touch wood, she has been very, very easy. She has never had anything wrong and has been very sound. There is a bit of pres- sure, but I am relaxed. Things are going well at the moment.

Badr Al Cat Junior www.tattersalls.com Hajri, who had travelled from Saudi Arabia purely to buy Cat Junior, struck the successful bid. Nils Petter Gill, a Norwegian owner who runs many of the coun- try=s Subaru dealerships, tried hard for the five-year-old, but the underbidder was Iran-based owner Farid Borbar. "I=ve bought him for Prince Sultan bin Mishel bin Abdulaziz,@ said Al Hajri. AI=d seen him run in Dubai and that=s why I came over for him.

WORLD TOP 30 (North America & Europe) Each year there are between 1,000-1,100 sires in North America, Europe, and Japan who are assigned APEX ratings. In order to qualify, a sire must have 10 or more three-year-old foals in the last racing year tabu- lated; in other words, in 2010 a sire must have had 10 or more foals of 2007. Somewhere between 600 and 700 of these sires will have had 200 or more >year- starters= (a horse counted as one runner each year it ran) in the previous seven years. So, when we last ran the data, on Aug. 1, it covered racing from Jan. 1, 2004 to Aug. 1, 2010. When we talk about a >World Top 12=, therefore-- given that we do know we=re really only talking about North American and European sires on the world=s number one international circuit--we are essentially saying, these are the top two percent of sires. When we say >World Top 30,= practically speaking it is the top five percent of sires. I don=t mean to diss the top Southern Hemisphere and Japanese sires, but they aren=t really on this number one international circuit, so, practically speaking, the >World Top 30= is the top five percent of available proven sires in North America and Europe with foals three years old and up. You=ll see in the attached table (see p11) that we=ve included two APEX-based statistics on the sires listed. The APEX A Index, which is the more familiar statistic, is an improved cumulative average-earnings index cov- ering the last seven years. Translated, it means A.P. Indy sired 9.76 percent top-two-percent earners in the major racing countries covered; Galileo sired 7.50 per- cent top-two-percent earners; Dynaformer, 5.32 per- cent; Elusive Quality and Invincible Spirit 3.62 percent (you double the index figure to get the percentage of A Runners to year-starters). The second figure is the career percentage of >unique= A Runners (counted only once) to named foals of racing age. So, since his first foals raced in 1996, 14.15 percent of the named foals of racing age by A.P. Indy became A Runners in at least one year. That=s an astronomical percentage. As you can see, most younger sires from the >Big-Book Era= have considerably lower percentages. A Runners roughly equate to listed winners and above. A few years ago, if you=ll remember, our research indicated >six percent is the new 10 percent,= and six percent is the yardstick I use now for this category, >percentage of unique A Runners from named foals of racing age.=

But, as I said last week when discussing the latest version of the World Top 12, there is no hard-and-fast correlation between either of those APEX numbers and which list, if either, a sire is selected for. I will note that all of the current World Top 12 have A Runner indices above 2.50, and, with a couple of exceptions, their percentage of unique A Runners to foals is above seven percent. The two exceptions are Coolmore sires “Arqana revamped its October Yearling Sale to create a two-day ‘October Danehill Dancer (6.77 percent with huge crops starting Part 1’, followed by a Part 2 which included some jumping-bred yearlings. with impossible mares--this is a lifetime statistic, re- The new format worked, since turnover increased by 22 percent.

The season’s overall theme continues: no >necessary, but not sufficient= conditions for inclusion. significant further drops.” As you=ll see from my (admittedly subjective) table, - Bill Oppenheim the first four Kentucky sires I=ve listed in the >World Next 18= portion of the table all do have A indexes of 2.50-plus, and all have eight percent-plus unique A Runners from foals. I can=t really explain the voodoo which tells me where a sire really rates, but there must be hundreds of industry professionals who are compil- ing similar lists, using their own voodoo. As noted last week, I now think the balance of power among the world top 12 has shifted from North America (now five of the top 12) to Europe (now seven). But in the sec- ond tier, I counted 12 Kentucky sires, against five from Europe. Oh yes, that means one slot is open for reader input. There are 30 slots in the World Top 30, and I have only filled 29 of them.

The specific composition of the world top 12, or the world top 30, is of course open to discussion and dis- agreement. But the whole discussion does raise again, at least in my mind, the question of what is going to happen to stud fees. Already we=ve seen the Irish Na- tional Stud=s John Osborne unapologetically announce that Invincible Spirit will be going up, to i60,000 from i45,000, not down. I fear breeders who dig their heels in and refuse to patronize sires whose stud fees don=t drop significantly are going to be cutting off their noses to spite their faces. It really does come back to supply and demand--that, and an appreciation of class. Breed- ers know who the top sires are-Bsome version of my top 30 table--and those are the horses they are still going to be clamoring to breed to. No doubt there is going to be fantastic value further down the scale, and for unproven stallions, but I=d be surprised to see any of these top 30 cut by more than a third. Some will be: $50,000 is going to be plenty to breed to some sires who now stand for more; so will $75,000 be plenty for a few more. There could be, and should be, significant reductions among a few of these, but not that many, and plenty of others among this top 30 will stay the same or even go up, like Invincible Spirit. Breeding horses is, as I=m sure you=ve noticed, an extremely competitive, high-stakes pursuit in which an impressive corps of bright, clever, highly trained professionals (yes, that=s you, dear reader) are forming opinions and acting on them. As a stallion manager, if you have one of the 30 or so stallions that a lot of people want, the supply and demand equation is in your favor. If not, yeah, LEADING SIRES BY 2010 NORTHERN HEMISPHERE that=s probably a stud fee that=s going to fall.
