YEARLING VENDORS START BOZO: AIT=S GOING TO BE A YEAR OF OPPORTUNITY@ COUNTING THE COST By Kelsey Riley As the leading consignor at the Arqana August Yearling Sale for eight years running, the team at Ecurie des Monceaux knows a thing or two about the importance of drawing a diverse, international assortment of buyers for the blueblooded yearlings on display. Not only did Monceaux breed and sell the top three lots at the 2019 edition of Arqana=s flagship sale; it also offered the sale=s only two seven-figure yearlings, which went through the ring back-to-back and sold to Godolphin (a i1.625-million Dubawi {Ire} filly now named Philomene {Ire} who makes her first start for Andre Fabre at ParisLongchamp on Thursday) and Japanese trainer Mitsu Nakauchida (a i1.5- million Galileo {Ire} colt now named Hinoshita Kaizan {Fr}).

Click or tap here to go straight to Horses were ushered through the ring at the Goffs UK Premier TDN America. Yearling Sale with a briskness that spoke of a pragmatic willingness, among vendors, to clarify the extent of the damage. The clearance rate for the session was duly maintained at 84% across the two days. Albeit trading a marginally smaller catalogue, it says everything that this session finished well over two hours earlier than had the previous one. As Macbeath says: "If it were done when 'tis done, then 'twere well it were done quickly." Everyone knew it was going to be tough, and that nobody is to blame. All we can do is hope that the tempest in the global economy, in a pandemic year, abates sooner rather than later. As things stood, however, the indices were predictably grim. Turnover for the second session was down 43% on last year, from ,7,889,500 to ,4,525,000; yielding a ,30,782 average that declined 29% from ,43,349, and a median slipping 25% to ,24,000 from ,32,000. Given somewhat stronger returns the previous day, that equated across the whole sale to a 38% slump in aggregate, to ,11,503,500 from ,18,468,000; a 27% loss in the ,34,034 average from ,46,519; and a 23% dip in a ,27,000 median from ,35,000.

Goffs UK Premier Yearling Sale Day 2 Cont. from p1 As Goffs UK managing director Tim Kent observed, this had been one of the most anticipated editions of this sale in recent years. "But not in the way that we normally prepare for a sale," he said. "And we share everyone's collective relief that we have been able to conduct the sale, and provide an opening to Europe's yearling sales circuit during these difficult times. "There is no doubting that trade across that last few days has not been straightforward, but the important thing is that horses are getting sold and the collective view from vendors and purchasers has been that this was a 'good' sale, even though 'good' may currently be difficult to quantify. We obviously missed some key faces who were active last year but there were a significant number of success stories over the last two days, including some spectacular pinhooks, and we must remember these moments as we reflect what has been achieved. "Despite the two days proving predictably difficult, we echo what has been said many times this week, that we are lucky to hold sales and continue to trade despite the challenges that face us and our industry. It has been encouraging to see so many people descend on Doncaster and to see a respectable clearance rate upheld over the two days.

Goffs UK Premier Yearling Sale Day 2 Cont. "Full credit to our vendors who have adapted to the market to facilitate trade and we now look forward to the Goffs Sportsman's and Orby Sale which will take place here at the end of this month."

,115,000 Havana Gold Colt Tops Session The top price of the day was paid by Oliver St Lawrence, who gave ,115,000 for the Havana Gold (Ire) colt presented by Mountarmstrong Stud as lot 303. He is out of Majestic Missile (Ire) (Royal Applause {GB})'s stakes-placed half-sister Majestic Alexander (Ire) (Bushranger {Ire}), whose three previous foals onto the track have all won, two also gaining black-type. "We're all looking for a Royal Ascot 2-year-old, of course we are," St Lawrence said. "And he does look a really strong, sharp type. Actually we hadn't originally intended to buy him: he was on the radar, and I showed him to Fawzi [Nass] yesterday, but we hadn't had him vetted. But then the trainer said how much he liked him, and we re-evaluated today. Of course it helps that he comes from breeders who do such a good job." St Lawrence diplomatically left the trainer in question anonymous, pending formal confirmation of the horse's destination. Gentlemanly conduct, from one who described his mask-fetchingly adorned with sports cars--as more suitable for a second-hand car salesman. True to his own profession, however, he professed that even so depressed a market remained challenging. "It's still tough enough," he said. "I know all bloodstock agents say that, and the market overall is a bit down. I'm not sure there are quite the horses here they've had in the last couple of years. Doncaster do a great job, and there are some really nice ones here. But I suspect some of the vendors have made a percentage call, with sales moving around and this one ending up first."

Another Diamond for Middleham Park? The embers of a cold market were stoked into life when the day's second and third six-figure sales were achieved from its closing half-dozen lots. TDN EUROPE • PAGE 5 OF 18 • THETDN.COM THURSDAY • 3 SEPTEMBER 2020

Goffs UK Premier Yearling Sale Day 2 Cont. First of these was lot 418, a Showcasing (GB) filly bought by Middleham Park for ,110,000--a good result for W.H. Bloodstock, having made i58,000 from Peter and Ross Doyle at Goffs last November. "She was our nap of the sale, really," said Middleham Park's Mike Prince. "She just looks a lovely racing filly. Showcasing's had a great year, and the mare has already produced [a dual winner] by Raven's Pass. She'll be going to Mark Johnston, so let's hope she can follow in the footsteps of Marie's Diamond (Ire)." An apt turn of phrase, regarding that daughter of Footstepsinthesand (GB), who achieved a Group 1 podium in the Queen Anne S. Encouragingly, Prince reported plenty of interest in Middleham Park syndicates from investors looking forward to getting back on the racetrack. "We've bought five here," he said. "One apiece for Mark, David O'Meara, Keith Dalgleish, Karl Burke and Richard Hannon. Our guys have got a taste for it, and as long as they're buying, we're buying." "It's a very resilient industry," concurred colleague Tom Palin. "We've been through two recessions and racing just seems to come back stronger than ever."

likewise consigned for breeders Lordship Stud by Highclere Stud. Given that he ended up running for Sheikh Hamdan, whose buying team was absent this time, ,100,000 from Ed Sackville arguably represented an equivalent result in this market. Sackville was completing some business-like shopping over the two days for Tom Dascombe. "It's a nice story because [Dascombe's landlord] Michael Owen was under-bidder on Yafta," said Highclere's Lady Carolyn Warren. "So I really hope that this one will be just as successful, if not more. He's a lovely-moving colt who sailed through his preparation." Cont. p6

A Brother to Make up for the One That Got Away The very last horse into the ring, likewise, put a more heartening signature on proceedings. Certainly one of the best pedigrees of the sale had been reserved for last, the Dark Angel (Ire) colt (lot 423) out of multiple stakes winner Swiss Dream (GB) (Oasis Dream {GB}) being a brother to group scorer Yafta (GB).

Goffs UK Premier Yearling Sale Day 2 Cont. The dam, indeed, is an unraced sister to G1 July Cup winner Fleeting Spirit (Ire) (Invincible Spirit {Ire}). In previous years, perhaps, competition from absent friends such as Shadwell would have put a colt like this beyond reach. As it was, he was Murphy's fifth purchase of the sale. "But generally the ones you want are still making money," Murphy said. "The top end looks after itself. There's always someone to buy a nice horse. I suppose the market is down, without the likes of Shadwell. But let's just hope they're buying next April."

Aguair Upgrading for next Stage of His Odyssey As the son of a Derby winner out of an Oaks winner, Ulysses (Ire) might not seem the most obvious of the new stallions for the breeze-up pinhookers. But not enough people grasp how class can tell in any environment. Credit to Robson Aguiar, then, for stretching to ,92,000 for lot 255, a February colt by Cheveley Park's rookie out of a winning sister of listed sprinter Feet So Fast (GB) (Pivotal {GB}). After all, Ulysses won two Group 1 races over 10 furlongs, and his deep Classic pedigree will doubtless gain a bit of commercial spice from some of those zippy Cheveley Park mares. This colt's dam was a case in point, albeit recently culled from the farm, as she is out of another of its black-type dashers in Splice (GB) (Sharpo {GB}), whose seven winning foals--besides Feet So Fast and her sister--include G2 Lowther S. winner Soar (GB) (Danzero {Aus}). "He will probably be a horse for later on, for seven furlongs, but he is a very nice and scopey type," Aguair said. "I'm trying hard to improve the horses, to keep things going forward, and it's not easy: nicer horses will still sell well. I have tried for a few that I could not get. But I have some people who are investing with me, and I will keep a half." The Brazilian has certainly established his eye for a young prospect at a lower level. One graduate of his nursery is Alicestar (GB) (Charming Thought {Ire}), found for just ,10,000 as at Tattersalls Ascot last August. She won on debut at Yarmouth in July, and seeks black-type for David Simcock in the G3 Unibet Dick Poole S. at Salisbury on Thursday.

Mother Takes Pride Anna Sundstrom of Coulonces Sales had another happy tale to tell when following up the top price of the opening day with the ,85,000 sale to Hillen-Ryan of a Caravaggio colt, lot 355. Having co-bred Tuesday's Starspangledbanner (Aus) sale-topper with head girl Charlotte Hutchinson, she revealed that this one was all the work of her 19-year-old daughter Moa-- who, just like Hutchinson the previous day, led up her charge.

Exceed And Excel. "I bought the dam off Darley, off the track for 25 grand, before Sound Of Silence had run," Lloyd said with a grin, before reiterating his broader satisfaction. "They've managed to get lots of people here and, given what the market's like, they've done a brilliant job."

5-year-old, who returned to the winners' circle in the Listed June THE EVEREST - S. and trialled impressively at Newcastle last week. Gytrash (Lope De Vega {Ire}) might have been an upset winner STATE OF PLAY of the G1 Black Caviar Lightning in February, but he proved that it was no fluke when placed in a trio of subsequent Group 1 sprints in the autumn, the Newmarket H., the William Reid S. and The Goodwood. A dual Inglis graduate as a weanling and as a yearling, it was no surprise to see Inglis snap the Gordon Richards-trained 5-year-old up for its slot recently. In what shapes as the first of many clashes between Everest contenders in the lead-up, Gytrash and Nature Strip face off in Saturday's G3 Concorde at Randwick. Against just four other rivals, their performances will be closely scrutinised, especially Nature Strip, who has proven beatable when fresh in the past. Of the other four horses in the race, only two of them, the 4-year-olds Splintex (Snitzel) and Dirty Work (Written Tycoon) feature in Everest betting, with both at $51. Splintex looks a more likely candidate given the progress he made through the Nature Strip will carry the TAB=s hopes | TDN AusNZ autumn, where he won the G2 Arrowfield 3YO Sprint, a race By Bren O'Brien won by Classique Legend the year prior. A little over six weeks out from Australia's richest race, the $15-million The Everest, the make up of the final field of 12 still remains very much in the air, with only three slots locked away. The Free Agents Each of the past three editions of The Everest have yielded Of the 'free agents', those horses without an Everest slot, differing strategies from slotholders in terms of timing, much of Farnan (Not A Single Doubt), stands out as lock for the race it depending on the talent on offer. But it seems to be the should he measure up to the level co-trainer Gai Waterhouse is overall trend to be moving towards holding fire on negotiations expecting this spring. rather than risk pulling the trigger. It is not surprising that slotholders usually hold fire on these It is noteworthy that last year's winner Yes Yes Yes (Rubick) talented 3-year-olds until they get back to the track for the was one of the final selected for the race and only gained Chris spring, with so much unknown about how they will measure up. Waller's slot when stablemate, Enticing Star (Testa Rossa), was retired. It is also worth noting that the two horses immediately behind Yes Yes Yes in what was to prove his final race, Santa Ana Lane (Lope De Vega {Ire}) and Trekking (Street Cry {Ire}), remain without a slot for this year's race. It was no surprise to see Nature Strip (Nicconi), fourth in The Everest in 2019, secured early for the 2020 edition by TAB back in April having emerged as Australia's best sprinter in 2020. He posted dominant wins in both the G1 VRC Sprint Classic and the G1 TJ Smith S. and has held favouritism for The Everest since markets opened. Bon Ho purchased his slot for one horse, his flagbearer Classique Legend (Not A Single Doubt), who was an unlucky sixth in The Everest last year. The Hong Kong-based businessman has a lot of faith in the Les Bridge-trained now Inglis snapped up Gytrash | TDN AusNZ TDN AUSTRALIA/NEW ZEALAND • PAGE 2 OF 3 • THETDN.COM THURSDAY • 3 SEPTEMBER 2020

he also holds a share of The Everest slot owned by Max Whitby. Werrett is also a part-owner of Tofane (NZ) (Ocean Park {NZ}), the G1 All Aged S. winner who could measure up to The Everest should she be targeted that way. Mike Moroney has indicated she will go through a couple of group sprints at Flemington where she will look to get on The Everest radar.

Getting on the Radar Alligator Blood (All Too Hard) shapes as a really interesting Everest prospect for a number of reasons. The G1 Australian Guineas winner is unbeaten over 1200 metres, but those three wins came earlier in his career and he is undoubtedly more effective up to the 1600 metres. While he has a significant Farnan | TDN AusNZ profile, he is yet to have convinced an Everest slotholder to snap Farnan proved himself the best of his class as a 2-year-old and him up. shapes as an ideal candidate for the slot of co-owner Aquis. Rothfire (Rothesay) is another horse high up in The Everest But Aquis also has several other suitable candidates in its market who has yet to secure a slot, but given he has yet to step ownership, including super-impressive G3 San Domenico S. out as a 3-year-old, that is to be expected. Certainly trainer winner Anders (Not A Single Doubt) and will no doubt make the Robert Heathcote thinks he is up there with the better call based on which colt it thinks can measure up to the pressure 3-year-olds, and after his recent impressive gallop at Eagle Farm of an elite level open age sprint. Trained by Ciaron Maher and and he will step out in the G2 Run To The Rose at Rosehill next David Eustace, Anders could be poised to tackle the G1 Moir S. a week. Should he prove himself up to that class, you can expect race which should he win, would put him on the radar of other the slotholder interest to heat up. slotholders, such as Nature Strip did in winning that race last The connections of fellow smart 3-year-olds North Pacific year. (Brazen Beau), Peltzer (So You Think {NZ}), and Mamaragan (Wandjina) are in similar situations, with slotholders happy to Inside Running wait to see which emerges as the best of that class. There are a host of other candidates with what you could Uber-talented Kiwi Catalyst (NZ) (Darci Brahma {NZ}) needs to consider an 'inside running' on a slot in The Everest. Godolphin's show his credentials to get himself on The Everest, but the slot looks Bivouac's (Exceed And Excel) to lose. The dual Group 1 Golden Eagle may be more up his alley anyway, while the likes winner looked impressive in winning a Hawkesbury trial and is of the Bob Peters-owned Showmanship (NZ) (Showcasing {GB}) set to return to the track in The Shorts on Sept. 19. and the Joseph Pride-trained Eduardo (Host {Chi}) could be Should he return a satisfactory performance there, then it outside chances of getting themselves a nod from a slotholder. would seem a certainty that he will lead Godolphin's charge for the world's richest sprint on October 17. Trekking (Street Cry {Ire}) was fantastic when charging home into third in last year's edition and trialled really well at Rosehill this week. The dual Group 1 winner is a big chance of picking up one of the other slots should he fail to get the Godolphin one. Other Godolphin horses to feature in The Everest betting are Hanseatic (Street Boss {USA}), who resumes for Anthony and Sam Freedman on Saturday at Moonee Valley, G1 Thousand Guineas winner Flit (Medaglia D'Oro {USA}) and the progressive Ranier (Lonhro). The Team Hawkes-trained Masked Crusader (Toronado {Ire}) came into this campaign with a huge boom and while he was beaten first-up at Randwick, his lustre has not dimmed and he is still considered capable of elevating to that level. Helping his Alligator Blood | TDN AusNZ cause is the involvement of Neil Werrett in the ownership, given TDN AUSTRALIA/NEW ZEALAND • PAGE 3 OF 3 • THETDN.COM THURSDAY • 3 SEPTEMBER 2020

It's worth in that regard, looking at the slotholders with places to fill. As well as Godolphin, Aquis and Max Whitby, there is James Harron, Yulong, The Star, Chris Waller Racing, Coolmore and MiEverest. Waller's slot is an interesting one as there is no clear second-choice Waller-trained candidate behind the already selected Nature Strip. Coolmore has brought internationally performed gallopers out to Australia the past couple of years without much luck, but that looks an outside chance of happening this year.

With a distance-centric pedigree (by Giant's Causeway out of a Galileo mare), you can see why 10 furlongs could very well be within the wheelhouse for Mr. Big News. The exclamation point in his past performance block is the 46-1 half-length splashdown win he earned when relishing a sealed/sloppy Hot Springs track in the Apr. 11 Oaklawn S. But Mr. Big News was drifting out in that victory, and only one of the dozen horses he bested that day (Thousand Words) has proven to be of Kentucky Derby caliber. Although his career-top Beyer of 88 will not be good enough to win the Derby, it's worth noting that this colt has never regressed in terms of speed numbers, earning Beyers that have moved upward for each of his seven lifetime tries.

Money Moves cont. This $975,000 OBSAPR Candy Ride (Arg) colt is light on experience (just three races), but high on potential based on a pair of one-turn Gulfstream wins to kick off his career and an eye-catching 98-Beyer second at Saratoga over nine furlongs. He's run well as a pace-pressing threat and has overcome two stutter-step starts leaving the gate, but being in the hunt over 10 furlongs in just his second start back since March is still a major ask at this point in his career.

Most notably, he is one of only two horses to ever finish in front of Tiz the Law, running an 87-1 second in the Kentucky Jockey Club S. over a waterlogged Churchill surface. But Finnick's only true win was a five-furlong sprint at age two at Indiana Downs in a four-horse field (he also got moved up via DQ at Oaklawn going 1 1/16 miles). Although co-owner and trainer Rey Hernandez noted this Dialed In gelding has thrice run well from post one, the rail draw is traditionally a disadvantage in the crowded Derby, and it's even more complicated for Finnick because he lost his right eye as a baby (congenital cataract) and won't be able to see the wall of horses to his immediate outside.
