FROM THE DESK OF... Bill Oppenheim

ALL-WEATHER DAM SIRES: GET APPROVAL Following the publication of our list of leading all- weather sires last week with seven or more all-weather starters at the tracks covered, we=ve reviewed the CORRUPT, 3yo c. FOREVER TOGETHER, 3yo f. material and have prepared some statistics on Undefeated in 3 starts Undefeated in 2 starts all-weather dam sires covering the same period. While conceding that statistics on all-weather racing are in their infancy (and therefore are going to take plenty of tweaking), and that it=s awfully early to be raising the BELONG TO ME bar as far as the number of all weather starters is con- cerned, I felt the accompanying Aleaders= lists,@ based 4 Stakes Winners in 2 Weeks! on sires and dam sires with 25+ all-weather starters (rather than seven-plus) are perhaps more meaningful. 2007 Stud Fee: $12,500 Live Foal We=ve still kept a file with seven as the line of demarca- tion, covering 760 broodmare sires with seven or more all-weather runners (click here), as well as an alphabeti- cal file with all 2,588 dam sires of one or more all weather starters during the period, and at the tracks, covered (click here). What we=re publishing in this issue is the Top 50 Dam Sires of All-Weather Starters in North America and Great Britain, listed by cumulative average-earnings index, as well as the Top 50 Sires, compressed from last week, also with 25+ all weather starters.

As a sire, he S. at Keeneland last October. That gives With Approval does seem to prefer Europe, and it=s interesting that he a 3.50 cumulative AEI as an all-weather broodmare sire, arrives at his dam sire ranking from an 0.51 index in and that tops the charts by a wide margin. Silver Hawk North America (15 starters on the all-weather as a ranks second, with a 2.47 AEI. broodmare sire), but a 4.19 rating (13 all-weather start- You may remember from last week that the ratio of ers) in Europe.

Oppenheim cont. We do have to recognize that all-weather racing, particularly in Britain with its 0.22 percent stakes win- ners-to-starters ratio, has generally been the venue for moderate horses.

This week is dark, then it’s all weather ratings as broodmare sires. It probably does Two-Year-Old sales for us in March. mean they=re good all-weather dam sires. - Bill Oppenheim A couple of other things struck me about the dam sires list. One was the prevalence of Pleasant Colony, and Ribot generally. Pleasant Tap (2.38) ranks number four on the hit parade, while his sire, Pleasant Colony (1.77), and another of his sons, St. Jovite (1.37)--now a jump sire in Ireland--also show good form as all- weather broodmare sires. Lost Code (1.45) and Stal- wart (1.40) are two other Ribot-line sires on the list. The Forli-line sire Efisio, unfortunately recently de- ceased, is noteworthy in that he ranks among the top 25 on both lists, with a very similar profile in each. As an all-weather sire, he has 34.29 percent winners to starters (36 of 105), with a cumulative all-weather AEI Sold Gross Average of 1.92. As a broodmare sire, he has 32.84 percent 2004 46 €275,500 €5,989 2005 58 €305,500 €5,267 winners to starters (22 of 67), and a cumulative all- 2006 72 €426,200 €5,919 weather AEI as a broodmare sire of 1.85. The message 2007 150 €3,322,400 €22,149 is that, very clearly, Efisios handle the all-weather. Finally, it was pretty interesting, again back on the broodmare sire front, that Dominion has a cumulative all-weather AEI as a broodmare sire of 2.02, one of only eight sires with 25+ all weather starters to have a dam sire index over 2.00. He ranks seventh. Ranking sixth, one place ahead of him, is his son Nomination with a 2.20 index. Message: don=t be afraid to try any- thing with Dominion=s name in the pedigree on the all- weather.
