IN TDN EUROPE TODAY Justify arrives at Ashford | Coolmore photo PHAROAH OWNERS BASKING IN IRISH GLORY by Sid Fernando Zayat Stables boasts a perfect record in Ireland after Old Glory (Ire) (Frankel {GB}) made a winning debut at Naas, earning the This year's Triple Crown winner Justify (Scat Daddy--Stage ‘TDN Rising Star’ tag. Click or tap here to go straight to TDN Magic, by Ghostzapper) was moved from WinStar Farm to Europe. Coolmore's Ashford Stud on Monday after it was announced that the big chestnut had been sold by a WinStar-led partnership to John Magnier's Irish-based powerhouse, which also stands 2015 Triple Crown winner American Pharoah. Rumors of a pending sale of Justify's breeding rights had been floating since the Preakness, when Darren Rovell of ESPN was the first to write about it and the dollars involved, which he reported over the summer as $60 million for the rights and an additional $15- million bonus for sweeping all three Classics. If Rovell is correct, the $75 million valuation would be the highest for a horse entering stud. The transaction represents different strategies for the buyers and sellers, all of whom are high-stakes players and competitors in an increasingly global game that's centered around the development and control of international sire power. Justify's breeding rights were owned by Kenny Troutt's WinStar (60%), China Horse Club (25%), and SF Bloodstock (15%). Cont. p3 PUBLISHER & CEO Sue Morris Finley @suefinley [email protected]

States," and in that he's not wrong. When it comes to identifying and developing global sires and sire lines, Coolmore is without peer, especially with stallions that Anatomy of Storm Bird Line trace to Northern Dancer. Sadler's Wells (Northern Dancer) and "My grandfather M.V. O'Brien built Ballydoyle off the backs of his sons Galileo and Montjeu are dynastic in Europe, and some brilliant American Classic horses. In Justify and American Coolmore has played a major hand in the international Pharoah we now have two all-time greats, so we couldn't be development of Danehill (Danzig), Storm Cat (Storm Bird), and more optimistic about the future," said M.V. Magnier, John War Front (Danzig). They are banking on Scat Daddy's sons Magnier's son. He could have strictly limited the discussion to carrying on for him in a similar manner. Kentucky Derby winner Northern Dancer, whose sons were so instrumental for Vincent O'Brien, Ballydoyle, Robert Sangster, and Coolmore. O'Brien trained such Northern Dancer Classic winners as Nijinsky, El Gran Senor, The Minstrel, and Sadler's Wells, among others. The genesis of Scat Daddy begins in the early 1980s when the European-raced Storm Bird (Northern Dancer), a champion 2-year-old colt for Sangster and O'Brien, entered stud at Ashford, which was developed and owned at the time by Dr. Bill Lockridge and his partner Robert Hefner. Dr. Lockridge was an advisor to W.T. Young, co-owner with Ashford of the Secretariat mare Terlingua, who was bred to Storm Bird in 1982. When Dr. Lockridge and Hefner experienced financial troubles that year, Young bought out his partners in Terlingua, and he was the sole owner and breeder when she produced Storm Cat the following season. Cont. p5 Justify | Benoit photo "When Scat Daddy's first crop were yearlings, I remember meeting renowned [Irish] judge Willie Browne of Mocklershill Stables at the sales in Kentucky," Shanahan recalled. "He said they looked like real European horses--quality, great movers, slick. So the Americans didn't go for him initially and the perception of him as a turf sire continued until his stock hit the racetrack and began to prove successful on dirt. As with American Pharoah, I am totally convinced that elite dirt horses like Justify can work in Europe. Like American Pharoah, he has terrific movement, so I see no reason why he won't sire successful grass horses as well as dirt horses." Walden agreed. "I personally think--and Bob [Baffert] and I have talked about this--that Justify could have won at Royal Ascot. He could have won the St. James's Palace if we went that direction. He's so talented. But take one look at him, and he looks like a dirt horse. The strength that he has, the balance, and he's out of a Ghostzapper mare." MANOH 2 MdSpWt winners on Thursday Man!

Like his sire Storm Bird, Storm Cat was precocious, and he proved to be a good 2-year-old for Young. By the mid-1980s, as Storm Cat was starting off his stud career at Young's Overbrook Farm, Coolmore owner John Magnier had purchased Ashford, and he and his associates paid close attention, patronizing Storm Cat heavily once he started exhibiting talent as a sire. Storm Cat made his name initially with dirt horses in the U.S. until Coolmore introduced him to Europe, where he widened his appeal. Recently deceased Giant's Causeway (Storm Cat) was an iconic homebred European champion for Coolmore and later a flagship sire at Ashford. Other sons of Storm Cat recruited to stand at the farm included, among others, Tale of the Cat, who's still there, and the W.T. Young-bred Hennessy. Similar to his sire and grandsire, Hennessy was a top juvenile. In fact, all three were Grade l or Group 1 winners at two and, notably, barely raced at three, but this didn't stop them from succeeding at stud with high-class 3-year-olds. Top racing performance at two is still Coolmore's modus operandus for Ashford-based prospects, and recent examples of this are juvenile champions Uncle Mo and American Pharoah. The stud rights for the latter had been tied up by the farm in the January of his 3-year-old season because of his 2-year-old record, and the Triple Crown turned out to be a bonus. Hennessy's champion son Johannesburg also fit the pattern. He was an exceptional European 2-year-old for Coolmore in 2001, undefeated in seven starts and a four-time Group 1 winner. Like Arazi a decade earlier, he came to the U.S. to win the Gl Breeders' Cup Juvenile. In three starts at three, however, he was winless. That made the sequence of Storm Bird/Storm Cat/Hennessy/Johannesburg startlingly similar. Johannesburg entered stud at Ashford in 2003 and got Scat Daddy in his first crop. True to the sire line, Scat Daddy was an accomplished 2-year-old. Coolmore associate Michael Tabor bought into the partnership that owned the colt before his second-place finish in the Gl Hopeful S. in his third lifetime start, and was co-owner of Scat Daddy with James Scatuorchio when he won the Gl Champagne S. in his next race. But in a departure from the immediate sires that preceded him, Scat Daddy was also successful at three, winning the Gll Fountain of Youth S. and the Gl Florida Derby before a tendon injury in the Kentucky Derby ended his career. By this time, Coolmore associate Derrick Smith had also bought into the horse. The sophomore-year success made him a special prospect from this line of sires for Coolmore when he entered stud at Ashford in 2008.

"Justify is a physical beauty, and he will suit a wide range of mares in both Europe and North America," Shanahan said. If he's right--and Coolmore has had an uncanny knack for developing breed-shaping sires--the Irish farm's record-priced gamble may look like money well spent down the road. But it's money that will reload WinStar now and put Troutt's farm in a better position to compete for the next big prospect. And so goes world of elite stud farms, where one big-dollar deal could prove beneficial for both farms.

ZANJABEEL RETURNS WITH LONESOME At the start of the Lonesome Glory, Clarcam (Fr) (Califet {Fr})-- owned by Rosbrian and Meadow Run--went to the lead with GLORY VICTORY by Don Clippinger Optimus Prime close behind him and Zanjabeel in third or fourth position. Clarcam, trained by Irish horseman Gordon Elliott, led over the last fence, located on Belmont's backstretch. But Kennedy had Zanjabeel on the move on the inside, and they seized the lead as the field of eight turned into the homestretch. Three Kingdoms (Ire) (Street Cry {Ire}) launched a brief attack, but the serious challenge would be thrown down by Hinterland. Sean McDermott was getting everything from Hinterland, and Kennedy, sensing the attack, went to work on Zanjabeel. With a furious drive to the finish line, Zanjabeel retained his margin over his challenger. Kennedy said he was surprised by how much stronger Zanjabeel had become since Far Hills, and he was pleased with his trip in the Lonesome Glory. "I had a lovely position," Kennedy said. "He jumped great and traveled very well. He kicked on well off a steady pace. He did Zanjabeel | Chelsea Durand everything very well."

Lifetime Record: 27-7-5-3, $425,316. turned back a strong challenge from Hinterland (Fr) (Poliglote {GB}) deep in Belmont's stretch to win by 1 3/4 lengths, with Hendriks-trained Optimus Prime (Fr) (Deportivo {GB}) a neck farther back in third. Hendriks understandably was pleased with the effort by Zanjabeel, who is owned by the Rosbrian Farm of Mandy and George Mahoney and the Meadow Run Farm of Wendy and Ben Griswold, who purchased him after his victory in Far Hills' Foxbrook Champion Hurdle last year and turned him over to Hendriks. "We were tickled to death with Zanjabeel coming off the layoff," Hendriks said. "You just never know how horses are going to run coming off the layoff. We've only had him for about a year, so we don't know him as well as some of the other horses, but he ran a super race." Jack Kennedy, the Irish jockey who rode Zanjabeel in the Foxbrook, received a call from Hendriks after Ross Geraghty stayed aboard Rosbrian's Optimus Prime after his G1 New York Turf Writers Cup Handicap victory last month.

This colt is out of a Xaar mare, and Gidu happens to be out of an Unbridled=s Song mare, so he had more of an American pedigree. This one has more of a European pedigree. When they wanted to keep him in Ireland we weren=t objecting to it at all. It=s an experiment for us and we=re very excited about it.@ Zayat said Wednesday=s win was a bit of a pleasant surprise. AWe thought he=d run a good race but we didn=t really expect him to win,@ he explained. AWe thought if he finished in the top three, we=d be very happy.

AThat was our first runner ever in Ireland, so to have him be a winner in our silks was very exciting,@ said Justin Zayat, president and chief executive officer of racing and bloodstock for the stable founded by his father, Ahmed Zayat. Zayat Stables races the 2-year-old colt in conjunction with the Coolmore partners, with whom they bought him via agent Justin Casse for a sale-topping i1.6 million at last year=s Goffs Orby sale. For the Zayats, buying at a European auction wasn=t new; they=ve already had success buying European yearlings and exporting them to the States, with flagbearers of that venture including dual stakes winner and Royal Ascot runner Gidu (Ire) (Frankel {GB}), a i410,000 buy at Arqana August; two-time winner and stakes performer Desert Stone (Ire) (Fastnet Rock {Aus}), who cost 280,000gns at Tattersalls October; and maiden winner and Grade III-placed Irish Territory (Ire) (Declaration of War), a i475,000 Orby purchase.

These statistics have Alayna Cullen emanated from a broodmare band of never more than 10 Twitter: @AlaynaCullen mares. [email protected] TDN's Daithi Harvey caught up with Murphy to discuss his Contributing Editor yearling drafts coming up at Tattersalls Ireland, Goffs Orby and Alan Carasso Tattersalls Book 1, and some of his previous success in both the Twitter: @EquinealTDN sales ring and on the racecourse.
Cafe Racing TDN: You have two yearlings up in Tattersalls Ireland next Sean Cronin week. What can you tell us about them? Tom Frary [email protected] JM: We have a Footstepsinthesand (GB) colt (lot 434) who is a Irish Correspondent half-brother to five winners. We bought him privately last Daithi Harvey November and he is a nice type. We also have a filly by Acclamation (GB) (lot 363). She is a good-looking, correct filly, Regular Columnists not overly big but she is a sharp, early sort. She has had two nice Andrew Caulfield pedigree updates since the catalogue was printed. Her John Berry half-brother Dark Shadow (Ire) (Dark Angel {Ire}) won his Kevin Blake maiden for Clive Cox while under the second dam Mrs Sippy Tom Peacock (Blame) won a listed race in France recently.

Redpender Loaded for Yearling Season Cont.
TDN: Redpender Stud has two colts and two fillies going to Goffs the following week. All are up on day two, which should make for an exciting, albeit nervous, day.
JM: Yes, it will be full-on that day. We are happy with the four, the Dandy Man (Ire) colt (lot 327) is a lovely yearling. He is out of a half-sister to [dual stakes winner] Rising Shadow (Ire) (Efisio {GB}), who we sold as a yearling a good few years ago. I bought him as a foal [for i40,000] last year at Goffs and Dandy Man is enjoying a good run of things. We've had a bit of faith in Dandy Man for a while; we pinhooked Parbold (Ire) a few years ago, he was one of his first good horses. The Dark Angel (Ire) filly (lot 285) is a homebred and she is a nice, sharp filly. She's very smart and the mare [Expensive Date {Ire}] seems to be throwing them well as she had a lovely foal this year. The Gleneagles (Ire) colt (lot 296) is proper horse. We covered the mare [Fluvial {Ire}] with Gleneagles as she is closely related to the dam of [G1 Cox Plate winner] Adelaide (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}). We sold the half-sister [Tivoli (Ire) (Dark Angel {Ire}] two years ago to Juddmonte and she won two races this year and is rated 86 so she has done okay. We bred the Mastercraftsman filly as well (lot 297). She is a grand filly, we've had the mare For Evva Silca for years and we bred Warsaw and Meiner Eternal out of her so she has been TDN: You've been associated with some high-class horses over good to us. Hopefully the Mastercraftsmans will be popular this the years such as Canford Clifffs (Ire) (Tagula {Ire}), Toormore year. He's always been a good sire and you would hope with (Ire) (Arakan) and Estidhkaar (Ire) (Dark Angel {Ire}). Can you Alpha Centauri fresh in the memory that his progeny should be tell us about how your involvement with those horses came in demand. about?
JM: It all began with a horse called Nasri (GB) (Kyllachy {GB}), who we sold well as a yearling. He was related to Canford Cliffs who I then ended up buying as a foal and although we didn't make any money on him as a yearling we always liked him. We then ended up buying nearly everything related to them including the dam of Canford Cliffs, Mrs Marsh (GB) (Marju {Ire}) [for 25,000gns]. We were obviously then very lucky with how Canford Cliffs turned out. Very few people would put a horse as good as that through their hands. We then sold Mrs Marsh privately after Canford Cliffs won the G2 Coventry S. at Royal Ascot.
TDN: The mare Danetime Out (Ire) (Danetime {Ire}) has also been a massive success story for Redpender Stud. What is the Jimmy Murphy and son, Brian, of Redpender Stud | Racing Post latest on her? THE TUSCANY EDITION SEPTEMBER 2018

We'll all be working hard over the next few weeks so it would be Jimmy Murphy nice to get a few more decent sales to make it all worthwhile. We have 10 mares on the farm, all flat mares; we tend to buy National Hunt foals rather than breeding them and we pinhook a few flat foals each year as well. So as soon as the yearling sales Redpender Loaded for Yearling Season Cont. are over we will be starting the process all over again. JM: Well, strictly speaking, Danetime Out is owned by my two sons but yes she has been a fantastic mare. I think she was a 5-year-old when we bought her and obviously since then she has bred Toormore, who was champion 2-year-old in 2013, and SCAT DADDY FILLY HIDDEN NO MORE Estidhkaar, who won the G2 Champagne S. and is now standing Hammered into 13-8 favouritism at the tills having skipped an at Tara Stud.

AIffraaj is in great shape and he loves the shuttle run,@ Chitty IFFRAAJ: A DUAL said. AHe was first due to come here in 2007, but that was the year of EI (equine influenza) so he came in 2008. He stands at HEMISPHERE HERO Dalham Hall after starting out at Kildangan Stud in Ireland. He stands at £40,000 pounds and served 150 mares this year and we=re standing him at NZ$25,000, which is great value for a horse of his record, and he=s closing in on 120 mares.@ A three-time Group 2 winner and Group 1 placegetter in England, Iffraaj has left nine individual Group 1 winners including the New Zealand Derby winner Gingernuts (NZ), the Australian Derby winner Jon Snow (NZ) and the triple top-flight winner Turn Me Loose (NZ) in this part of the world.
Stand-out Performer... Ribchester (Ire) has been his leading European representative with four Group 1 victories while Wootton Bassett (GB) won the Prix Jean-Luc Lagardere. His son and triple Group 1 winner Almanzor (Fr) is now continuing the Iffraaj line in his first season Iffraaj | Darley at Cambridge Stud. AIffraaj is so versatile and can get everything, 2-year-olds, 3-year-olds--colts or fillies--up to sprinter-milers and middle by Paul Vettise distance horses,@ Chitty said. AWe=re very lucky to have him and I With Group 1 winners in both Hemispheres, Iffraaj (GB) said to [father] Ron the other day that our horses going to the (Zafonic) has succeeded at the shuttling game for a decade but sales next year, on type, are the best we=ve had off the farm.@ perhaps without the credit he deserves. From his Haunui Farm Cont. p2 base in New Zealand and now at Dalham Hall Stud in England, Iffraaj continues to leave versatile performers to the highest level. AThere=s no question that he=s an under-rated stallion,@ Haunui=s Mark Chitty said. AIt=s a great game played slowly you could say, but he=s proven himself to be a truly international stallion.@ Iffraaj=s son Jungle Cat (Ire) is another fine example, and one with a sprinting bent. The 7-year-old will make his Australian debut at Caulfield in Saturday=s G1 Ladbrokes Sir Rupert Clarke S., for Godolphin and trainer Charlie Appleby.
Frequent Flyer... Like his father, Jungle Cat has proved himself to be a successful traveler with two wins in England and no less than five at Meydan in Dubai, including the G1 Al Quoz Sprint at his last appearance in March.

Iffraaj: a Dual Hemisphere Hero Cont. from p1
Proven Combination... Adding to the international flavour at Caulfield on Saturday will be jockey James Doyle, who will partner Jungle Cat after reining him to victory in the AL Quoz Sprint. AWe are fortunate at Godolphin to retain two world class jockeys, who we can send to any country when required,@ Appleby said on the Godolphin website. AJames knows Australian racing well and he has won a Group 1 on Jungle Cat.@ The trainer said Doyle might become a familiar face in Melbourne, as too could William Buick. AI expect William to also be riding there later in the Carnival. We have a big team to run.@
