PLENTY OF MONEY DIVERSE HORSE OF THE YEAR CONTENDERS TOP 188 BREEDERS= CUP PRE-ENTRIES STILL IN PLAY AT FTKOCT A total of 188 horses, including 47 foreign-based runners from as far afield as South Korea, have been pre-entered for the 36th renewal of the Breeders= Cup World Championships, to be held for a record 10th time at Santa Anita Park in Arcadia, California, Friday and Saturday, Nov. 1 and 2. W. S. Farish=s Code of Honor (Noble Mission {GB}) would need a few things to go his way, but a victory in the GI Longines Classic would enhance his chances for a Horse of the Year title and would sew up champion 3-year-old honors. Winner of his two most recent appearances in the GI Runhappy Travers S. and GI Jockey Club Gold Cup (via the DQ of the re-opposing Vino Rosso {Curlin}), the chestnut will be looking to give his Hall of Fame trainer Shug McGaughey an elusive first victory in the 10-furlong feature.

Topping trade was an Uncle Mo colt (hip 1033) acquired by agent Mike Ryan from the Indian Creek consignment for $410,000. With a somewhat softer market for the lower-priced lots than was seen during the first two days of the four-day auction, the average ($34,909) and median ($10,000) dipped slightly. Wednesday=s gross sales totaled $8,378,100 and the RNA rate was 26.4%. Cumulative numbers for the sale continue to stack up well against figures from 2018. Seven-hundred forty horses have sold for $27,577,200 at an average of $37,266 ($35,576 in 2018) and median of $13,000 ($15,000 in 2018). The buyback rate sits at 26.2% for the sale so far--it was 22.7% for the entirety of last year=s auction. AThree straight days with increases in average and increases in gross [compared to last year=s corresponding sessions] are certainly very encouraging,@ said Fasig-Tipton President and CEO Boyd Browning, Jr. AThe resilience and the depth of the market never ceases to amaze me.@ Cont. p3 PUBLISHER & CEO Sue Morris Finley @suefinley [email protected]

FTKOCT Day 3 recap cont. from p1 AHistorically, this sale has been strong throughout all four days and there continues to be lots of activity,@ Browning added. AThere might be a few less people here in person, but they=ve certainly left plenty of money with other agents or associates to be able to bid on horses. That was what was really encouraging. Tonight, I spent the last 30 minutes in the back walking ring outside and there were still hundreds of people here for the last 10 or 15 horses... It=s been three really good days so far. We=ve got one more day to go, and we certainly have no reason not to be optimistic that tomorrow will be a continuation of the strength that we=ve seen for these first three days.@ At least the day=s top four lots were horses who had been rerouted or withdrawn from an earlier yearling sale for one reason or another. AI think that sellers now know that there=s a legitimate marketplace here to bring a quality animal,@ Browning said. AIf you have a situation where the additional time, or a change in circumstances or change in environment or whatever factor might make you say that, whether it=s from July, or August, or September to being in the latter stages of October will improve the marketability of that horse, they=ve got the confidence to do that, whether it=s a $20,000 horse, or a $50,000 horse or a $250,000 horse... This is a tough game we play. Sometimes a horse might get a little sick or come up with a cough. It might have a minor X-ray blemish that was unexpected. There are all sorts of facts or circumstances that lead to horses moving from one sale to another sale, and a lot of horses just benefit from the additional time. You see a lot of horses blossom. There were some beautiful horses offered here the first three days and there are some damn fine ones who will walk through this ring tomorrow.@ The final session of the final yearling sale of 2019 kicks off Thursday at 10:00 a.m.

Ryan Snags >Magnificent= Mo Colt Agent Mike Ryan, perched in the second floor press box, fended off challenges from throughout the sales complex Monday to land the session-topping Uncle Mo colt for $410,000. Shack Parrish=s Indian Creek consigned the Mar. 13 foal as hip 1033. Breeder Meg Dumaine paid $350,000 for his unraced dam Picardia (Stormy Atlantic), a half to Grade I winners Lear=s Princess (Lear Fan) and Pretty City Dancer (Tapit), while she was carrying the colt at the 2017 Keeneland November sale. AI thought he was magnificent,@ said Mike Ryan, who was bidding on behalf of a client of trainer Chad Brown=s. AI thought he was the best horse in the sale. In fact, he=s one of the best Uncle Mos I=ve seen since [champion 2-year-old and GI Kentucky Derby winner] Nyquist--that=s why I liked him so much.@ Cont. p4 TDN HEADLINE NEWS • PAGE 4 OF 19 • THETDN.COM THURSDAY • OCTOBER 24, 2019

AI thought he was exceptional,@ Ryan continued. AIn any sale, he was a serious horse. I told Chad that he=d probably top the sale and it would take a bit of money to buy him. He=s a summer 2-year-old, and if he=s good he=s got a stallion=s pedigree.@ Of the price paid, Ryan continued, AI felt $400,000, up around there, that=s what it was going to take to buy him. There=s still good money for the right horses. The colt looked magnificent. It took no genius to find him. He stood out--he sold himself. He comes off a great farm. They raise a great horse and do a good job.@

Hip 1033 | Fasig-Tipton As for the October market, he said, AIt=s still solid. When you find something that you like and want to follow up there, you=re not by yourself. Obviously, it=s extremely selective. We=re down to the last [yearling sale] of the year, and a lot of people have already filled their quotas. This horse was for a client of Chad=s, and he=s already got plenty of yearlings, but I said, >This is a horse you need to have in your barn.= And he said, >Well then let=s try and get him.=@

A >Happy= Accident for Woods Edge While the Runhappy filly (hip 1090) Peter O=Callaghan paid $215,000 for last year at Keeneland November and was pointing to Keeneland September suffered a setback after getting sick over the summer, she headed into October in fine fettle and the shrewd Irishman was rewarded Wednesday. Peter Fluor and K.C. Weiner=s Speedway Stables paid $400,000 with the help of agent Marette Farrell. The Feb. 24 foal=s stakes-winning dam was purchased for $10,000 in foal to Value Plus at KEENOV >10 by Virginia-based Morgan=s Ford Farm of Wayne and Susie Chatfield-Taylor. She has since produced MSW Queen Caroline (Blame) and MSP K P Slickem (Include), and her 2009 foal became a graded-placed juvenile. This is the extended female family of champion 2-year- old filly Folklore (Tiznow). Cont. p5 PERFECTIONSpiced SMILING TIGER – PERFECT FEAT, BY PLEASANTLY PERFECT

AShe was a great foal when we bought her, and she=d come pedigree--it=s Folklore=s family, by a hugely exciting sire in from great breeders,@ O=Callaghan said. AWe stretched for her Runhappy and she=s a beautiful physical. She=s bred by Morgan=s when we bought her, and we had a bit of bad luck with her Ford Farm. They are the organic of the organics. It=s very good midsummer. She got sick, so we missed our appointment in land that she was raised on, and she was pinhooked by an September with her. So, we put her on the back burner and got excellent judge in Peter O=Callaghan, whose track record speaks her ready for this and she bounced out of it beautifully. for itself.@ Everybody loved her here. There was an army of people in to bid for her. There were telephones in every corner of the ring there. Pharoah Colt Another Big Sale Out of Red We=re delighted. October=s a great sale, and a lot of good horses come out of here, but you can never come in here with lofty Carpet Miss expectations. You=re often on a salvage mission, and the fact Gabriel ASpider@ Duignan and partners continued to rack up big that we got such a good result, it=s very rewarding. She was such sales out of unraced mare Red Carpet Miss (Malibu Moon) a beautiful filly all along, and it was so disappointing that she Wednesday when Team Casse snagged her American Pharoah missed September. To come here and get such a good result, it=s colt (hip 1124) for $385,000 out of the Paramount Sales draft. great for everyone.@ Duignan paid $255,000 for the daughter of MGSW Stylish (Thunder Gulch) while carrying her first foal by Declaration of War at the 2014 Keeneland November sale. That colt was a $400,000 KEESEP yearling, and was followed by a $535,000 son of Speightstown and $265,000 daughter of Uncle Mo. An Into Mischief colt follows the American Pharoah in the pipeline. APharoah=s not hard to pick out,@ said Duignan when asked about the decision to mate his mare to the Triple Crown winner and now leading freshman sire. AI just love Pharoah, and I thought he was good value. I=ve been a big fan of his the whole way along, still am, and [hip 1124] is a beautiful horse. The mare gets a good foal. He is so like Pharoah, that horse. He=s like a reincarnation of him; exact same head, exact same outlook. Just a beautiful horse to be around. I=m glad he=s gone to a good home.@ Cont. p6 Peter O=Callaghan | Fasig-Tipton Money has been showing up for the perceived top lots on offer, and O=Callaghan said he knew hip 1090 was among the most popular, but still wasn=t sure quite how high she might go. AThere aren=t that many people walking around with four- hundred grand,@ O=Callaghan acknowledged. AWhen you=re in Saratoga or Keeneland, if you have a nice horse you have those sort of expectations, but here, when you=ve missed your slot, you have to be a lot more tempered in your expectations. But it became pretty clear here in the last 24 hours or so that she was going to sell very well. I was pretty confident she was going to break $300,000 as the day went along, but to get to $400,000 was just perfect.@ Hip 1090 will be trained by Bob Baffert, who conditions Speedway=s Grade I-winning >TDN Rising Star= Roadster (Quality Road). AWe=re thrilled to get her,@ Farrell said. AShe=s actually the only horse we bid on for [Speedway] this whole sale. We waited for her. She=s got a lot of upside for us.

Speightstown Colt to Starlight A Speightstown half-brother to the unraced but highly touted $1.8-million Fasig-Tipton Midlantic sale topper Gamine (Into Mischief) was scooped up by Starlight Racing representative Frank Brothers Wednesday for $300,000. Hip 1018 was consigned by Francis and Barbara Vanlangendonck=s Summerfield on behalf of Barbara Banke=s Stonestreet Foaled and Raised. The Feb. 16 foal is out of stakes-placed Peggy Jane (Kafwain). Gamine, who was a $220,000 KEESEP buy for Brad Grady=s Grand Oaks Farm, was purchased in Timonium on behalf of Michael Lund Petersen before joining Hall of Famer Bob Baffert=s barn.

Hip 1018 | Fasig-Tipton AIt was the upper end of what we thought he=d bring,@ said Francis Vanlangendonck. AWith the sister out in California with Bob, and Bob has really been touting the filly, a lot of people knew about it and wanted to be in on that family. We had him in [the Fasig-Tipton Saratoga Sale]. We thought there was going to be a pretty good update, so we scratched him and brought him here. The filly came up with a little issue that=s been taken care of, and he improved, so it all worked out.@ Vanlangendonck added, AHe=s real athletic and correct with a lot of bone. Everybody who looked at him liked him. Even in the back ring people were looking up and all of a sudden looking at the page to try and see who it was. He=s a very athletic colt. Frankie Brothers found him and that=s Frankie=s kind of horse. He=s picked out a lot of good horses and I knew when he looked at him he=d like him.@ Stonestreet has had an extremely strong yearling sales season as a seller. Banke=s operation sold four youngsters at the Saratoga sale for a combined $2.6 million, and 48 at Keeneland September for $16,790,700, including $4.1-million and $2.15-million colts. Cont. p7

THURSDAY, 24 OCTOBER 2019

A promising juvenile last year without winning, I Am Superman >SUPERMAN= AWAITS won plenty of admirers early in the season with two dominant performances in handicaps at Naas and Leopardstown in April. GOLDEN EAGLE GO-AHEAD Those displays warranted a step up in grade for the i49,000 Tattersalls Ireland bought yearling and he showed he could mix it with the best when a respectable sixth in the G1 Tattersalls Irish 2000 Guineas at The Curragh. A tamer effort in Royal Ascot=s G3 Jersey S. on his next start was followed by a confidence boosting victory in a Naas conditions event in July before he posted another smart effort when third to the high class Madhmoon (Ire) (Dawn Approach {Ire}) in the G3 Desmond S. over the stiff mile at Leopardstown August 15, his last racecourse start. AIt=s such a valuable race that we thought it was definitely worth a shot and I think the style of racing, the distance and the ground at Rosehill will all play to I Am Superman=s strengths,@ O=Callaghan said. AHe ran a great race behind Madhmoon, he was in front a Michael O=Callaghan | Racing Post hundred yards from the line and it was probably one of the best races he has ran. He also seems to be better going around a turn, his two wins at Naas and his Leopardstown form point to By Daithi Harvey that and The Golden Eagle is over seven and a half furlongs Not surprisingly with $7.5m up for grabs the inaugural Golden which I think is the perfect distance for him. He goes on any Eagle at Rosehill next week has attracted several international ground but is probably at his best on good ground. Also we=re in challengers for the 1500m event. Two of those hail from Ireland receipt of a few pounds off the Australian horses as they are six and while Never No More's (Ire) (No Nay Never {USA}) trainer months older than him so hopefully that will aid our chance as Aidan O=Brien is well used to fielding runners in Australia, for well.@ Michael O=Callaghan, trainer of I Am Superman (Ire) The next week will be a tense time for O=Callaghan and his (Footstepsinthesand {GB}), it will be a new experience. family as they wait to hear if they will make the cut for the race.

On our Irish rating we probably would have been Superman will be his first runner in Australia and while not guaranteed a start but the Australian handicapper adjusted our actually guaranteed a run in The Golden Eagle, O=Callaghan feels rating to 95 which shoved him down the ballot list a bit. He is in his charge has all the right qualities to make an impact and claim the Redzel Stakes on the same day just in case we don=t get a a good slice of the monster prize-money on offer. run in the main event. That race is over six and half furlongs and AI=m really looking forward to it, it=s an exciting prospect and I wouldn=t be as suitable as The Golden Eagle.@ just hope we get a run,@ O=Callaghan said. AIt was around Irish O=Callaghan has decided against local experience with regards Champions Weekend in early September that we learned of the to booking a jockey and revealed that I Am Superman will race and I=m really happy with I Am Superman=s preparation. He continue his partnership with his regular Irish jockey Leigh was in quarantine in Newmarket for two weeks and arrived in Roche, who as it happens has already ridden winners in Australia last weekend. He travelled over very well and only lost Australia. ALeigh will go out to ride, the horse is a little bit quirky ten kilos on the trip,@ he added. and Leigh knows him well so we thought it best to keep the partnership intact. TDN AUSTRALIA/NEW ZEALAND • PAGE 2 OF 2 • THETDN.COM THURSDAY • 24 OCTOBER 2019

AHe just takes a bit of knowing and Leigh has experience of riding in Australia so that should help him. He is travelling onto India then after that, he had a successful winter riding there last year so he is keen to try and repeat that.@ In the longer term O=Callaghan has a several options in mind for I Am Superman depending on how the horse fares at Rosehill, with targets in both Hong Kong and Australia both possibilities for the colt. AWe have a couple of plans in mind; we got an invitation a few days ago for the G1 Hong Kong Mile in December so that=s an option if he were to run a big race on Saturday. Another alternative which we are strongly considering would be leaving him in Australia for our winter and early spring. We are thinking of transferring him to Chris Waller and he could map out a campaign for him over there. There are some nice Group 1 races between seven furlongs and a mile for him in the Australian autumn that he could run in before potentially coming back to Ireland for our season next year. The prizemoney is so good in Australia and he wouldn=t be doing anything in Ireland over the winter anyway so it makes sense to try it. He could earn a lot of money down there.@ He continued, AI Am Superman also has a lot of scope and should be an even better 4-year-old so we are quite excited about his prospects for next year. He has really only started to strengthen up over the last couple of months.@ At just 31 years of age Michael O=Callaghan has certainly more of his career ahead of him than behind him and he is far from daunted by the prospects of taking on such an international challenge. AI=ve had a runner in Dubai and in America before and while it is a long trek to Australia it is a relatively straightforward process, bar a good bit of paperwork. It=s more daunting thinking about it than actually doing it and horses seem to be able to take the journey in their stride. Myself and Leigh will probably travel down on Monday to see how things are and maybe Leigh will give him a breeze a few days before the race and after that all we can do is just hope he gets a run,@ he said.
