CLOUD COMPUTING STELLAR WIND TO BE OFFERED AT KEENELAND NOVEMBER CONFIRMED FOR TRAVERS Eclipse Champion and six-time Grade I winner Stellar Wind (Curlin) will be consigned by Lane=s End to the 2017 Keeneland November Sale, it was announced Monday afternoon. Owned by Kosta and Peter Hronis=s Hronis Racing and trained by John Sadler, the chestnut is unbeaten in three starts in 2017, all in Grade I company. To date, Stellar Wind has compiled a record of 10-2-1 from 15 starts with earnings of $2,233,200. AStellar Wind is without a doubt one of the classiest horses I've ever been around, and is everything you could want in a racehorse and a broodmare prospect,@ said Sadler. AShe has a high cruising speed, is sound, and has an incredible will to win. That was on display last year when she beat [four-time champion] Beholder (Henny Hughes) on the square, not once, but twice, in the GI Clement L. Hirsch S. and the GI Zenyatta S."

Second in the Mar. 4 GIII Gotham S. and third in the Apr. 8 GII Wood Memorial S. prior to his win in the Preakness May 20, Cloud Computing returned from a two-month layoff with a disappointing last-of-five finish as the 6-5 second choice in the July 29 GII Jim Dandy S., the traditional prep for the Travers.

Kosta Hronis added, AIt's been an absolute privilege to campaign a mare of Stellar Wind=s caliber. Stellar Wind has brought me and my family many thrills, and with the GI Breeders' Cup Distaff at Del Mar this year, we're hoping there might be a few more." The 5-year-old is the leading money-winning female by Curlin. A daughter of the Malibu Moon mare Evening Star, she hails from the immediate family of this year's GI Met Mile winner Mor Spirit and Grade I-winning juvenile Great Hunter. "We are honored to have the opportunity to sell a true superstar of the sport," said Keeneland Vice-President of Racing and Sales Bob Elliston. "Our thanks to the Hronis family and Lane's End who recognize Keeneland November as the most important breeding stock sale in world. It's where a world-class mare belongs." Stellar Wind has won three times at the Grade I level in 2017, tallying Oaklawn=s Apr. 14 Apple Blossom H. before returning to Southern California to annex the June 3 Beholder Mile S. and July 30 Clement Hirsch S. "We have the opportunity to bring some terrific mares to Keeneland November, and Stellar Wind is certainly at the top," said Lane's End's Will Farish. "She's been a Grade I winner at three, four and five, winning six Grade I races in total against some of the best filly and mare competition of recent times. With her pedigree, she'll hold tremendous appeal to both domestic and international buyers. Steller Wind is one the finest broodmare prospects to come to market in recent times."

As a result of these reforms, the number of catastrophic injuries during races occurring on NYRA tracks has been reduced by nearly 50% since 2013.@ Addressing potential safeguards that can be added to an already extensive safety policy, NYTHA President Rick Violette, Jr. added, AWhere safety is concerned, we need to examine every possibility, including a mandate to open all racing surfaces earlier than we have in the past before the start of the race meet.@ In the spirit of Monday=s Great American Eclipse, the team at Hallway Feeds in Lexington, Kentucky created t-shirts that featured Hallway-fed Eclipse Award winners.

THE WEEKLY WRAP MONCEAUX INVINCIBLE By Emma Berry This week=s dispatch comes to you from Deauville, where a AS AUGUST SALE ENDS notable number of new faces, particularly from Japan, have mingled with the usual cast of thousands playing leading roles and bit parts in the first major yearling sale of the European season. The barmen in Le Drakkar will be glad to see the back of the noisy crowd of Brits and Irish who take advantage of the fact that they temporarily have no homes to go to by staying up way past sensible bedtimes for horsemen. And it=s a safe bet that most French trainers will be glad to see the back of their British counterparts who have been mopping up Deauville=s major races since the summer season began. On Sunday, Karl Burke hammered the point home with a one-two in the G1 Darley Prix Morny with Unfortunately (Ire) (Society Rock {Ire}) and Havana Grey (GB) (Havana Gold {GB}), while Roger Varian continued his excellent week when saddling Ajman Princess (Ire) (Teofilo {Ire}) to win the G1 Darley Prix Jean Romanet.

Partnerships were in play on both sides of the transaction for lot 234.The vendor was the sale's dominant force Ecurie des Monceaux, which has based its successful business on strategic alliances between breeders and bought this filly in utero when purchasing her dam Polygreen (Fr) (Green Tune) for i200,000 at Arqana in December 2015. Stepping in as purchaser was the duo of David Redvers and Ghislain Bozo of Meridian International, who had the previous day gone to i750,000 to buy the Kingman (GB) half-sister to Wings Of Eagles (Fr) (Pour Moi {Ire}) for a new syndicate consisting of Qatar Bloodstock and some investors from China. The same partnership will race Monday's top lot. Redvers commented on the top lot, "She has so much quality and is very light on her feet. When I first few her I wasn't even aware how good Polydream is but the update made her just what we're looking for. It will make the autumn even more exciting, watching Polydream win a Group 1."

My aim is to bring new people into the business and to promote racing by getting them involved first in small shares in broodmares and then with some racehorses. We decided three or four years ago to have partnerships with younger people as long as they share our ambition as long-term breeders. But we've been very lucky here to buy into a good Wertheimer family and then to have an The first of the pair was lot 219, a Monceaux-consigned update like that on Saturday was superb."

The average, on the other hand, was up, by 10% to i166,409 and the median remained static at i110,000. The third session on its own brought another i9,379,500 to the sale's tally (-8%) with a median of i65,000, average of i85,268 (+4%) and a clearance rate of 76% for 110 sold.
Frankels Head East... The buying team of Mark Richards and Nick Columb from the Hong Kong Jockey Club made an early splash at the sale when buying the first two lots through the ring on Saturday evening--sons of Frankel (GB) and Kingman (GB), respectively--but found things tougher on Sunday. They bounced back on Monday to add another two yearlings to the team for export, who won't see a racetrack until their 3-year-old seasons.

"The plan is to have a Tom Frary boutique stud, it will not be a big one, maybe 10 or 12 [email protected] mares--let's see how it goes--but we'll take our time." Irish Correspondent The team began on Saturday by taking lot 52 , Haras Daithi Harvey d'Etreham's Shamardal filly and the second foal of Purely Regular Columnists Priceless (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) for i400,000.

Arqana August Day 3 Cont. Berghgracht explained further, "The plan is to have a few well-bred fillies to race, it's new to him, the plan is to create, have mares on the farm, breed, and be a commercial farm, but I'm sure he will keep a few for himself to race." Gillier has still to get onto deciding what his silks will be, but he will have plenty of assistance on that score. "I've got some time," he said. "I'd like to work on it. I'll ask my wife [CJcilia B`nstr`m], she's a designer, so she's going to do it." He continued, "It's fun. When look at those horses it's amazing, it's like buying a piece of art. It's so beautiful. It's not far from art--it's the same pressure, the same way of bidding." Gillier is reminded that horses can get injured. "But art can fall down," he chuckled.
Dabirsim In Demand... A filly (lot 201) from the second crop of Dabirsim (Fr), consigned by Haras des Capuchines, made the most impact when attracting a final bid of i270,000 by Nicolas de Watrigant's Mandore Intenational Agency. Dam Mi Vida Loca (Ire) (Sakhee) is a full-sister to multiple French listed race winner Shujoon (GB) and she was described as "the filly of the day" by De Watrigant. "I didn't buy many at the sales, but I liked her," he said. "The stallion looks as if he will be very good, but the main thing is that I liked her as an individual. She has been bought for a new Roger Varian had hit the headlines when saddling Ajman syndicate and hopefully she will be successful for them.

"She's for an existing client," Varian confirmed. "She was a racy filly and we liked her very much." Trade was rather slow for the first few during the ring until there was various interest shown in lot 185, a Makfi (GB) colt and the first foal of French listed-placed Kyurem (Ire) (Verglas {Ire}). The broodmare's most notable sibling is Simenon (Ire) (Marju {Ire}), the prolific dual-purpose performer who finished fourth in both the Melbourne Cup and the Gold Cup, while there have been recent updates from Affina (Ire) Kodiac (GB), who has won twice as a 2-year-old for Simon Crisford.

In Europe everyone has become used to seeing Galileo dominate affairs, but last week was a bit of an exception.

We also saw another son, Enable=s sire Nathaniel, continue his good form, even siring first, second and fourth in a good-class Newbury maiden in which Frankel was responsible for the third. Nathaniel, like Frankel and Teofilo, has enjoyed group success at the Deauville meeting, thanks to God Given in the G3 Prix Minerve nine days ago.

Ajman Princess was conceived in 2012 and it isn=t hard to see why a son of Galileo was chosen for her. Her dam Reem Three, a useful 10-furlong performer is a daughter of the G1 2000 Guineas winner Mark of Esteem. Galileo=s nine foals out of Mark of Esteem mares had done extremely well, with three of them becoming group winners. In fact, these three were all Group 1 performers. Treasure Beach won the 2011 G1 Irish Derby after a narrow defeat in the Epsom version; Kite Wood was a three-quarter-length second in the 2009 St Leger before becoming a Group 2 winner in the Prix Vicomtesse Vigier; and Mikhail Glinka was second in the G1 Criterium de Saint-Cloud, before going on to win the G3 Queen=s Vase and the G2 Dubai City of Gold. Galileo had also done well with mares by Mark of Esteem=s sire Darshaan, the prime example being Alandi (G1 Irish St leger and G1 Prix du Cadran). Mention of races like the St Leger, Queen=s Vase and Prix du Rostropovich | Racing Post Cadran highlights that Galileo=s partnership with Mark of Esteem Pedigree Insights Cont. and Darshaan was a fairly sure way of producing a stayer. Last year=s G1 2000 Guineas runner-up Massaat did very well Teofilo, with his Danehill blood, isn=t quite as strong an influence to win the G2 Betfred Hungerford S. after an absence of 373 for stamina as Galileo, but Ajman Princess stays a mile and a half days. If he can build on this bright comeback, he will earn well, even though her front-running victory at Deauville came himself a place among the Shadwell stallions--especially when over a mile and a quarter.

She missed the rest of the season after being found to be lame behind following her Irish venture. The enforced rest has subsequently proved a blessing in disguise. Her victory at Deauville was her third in six starts this year, another of her wins being a five-length success at listed level at Goodwood. Her record now stands at an enviable 11-3-5-2, with the Irish Oaks being her only unplaced effort. Her fourth dam Dunette fared much better when she tackled Classic company, as she won the G1 Prix de Diane. Dunette was one of the mares who contributed to Sadler=s Wells=s extraordinary first crop, as their son French Glory enjoyed group success on both sides of the Atlantic, notably taking the GI Rothmans International.
