Although Forestry earned $591,225, his victory in a grade one race was worth more, as it made him the second winner at that level produced by grade one winner Shared Interest. She

If Forestry needed further qualifications, he is a handsome horse who stands over a good deal of ground, clearly getting some added scope from the influence of Pleasant Colony and Dr. Fager.--F.M. EXPLOIT It is of considerable credit to the influence of Storm Cat and the marketing of Taylor Made that Exploit, who did not win or place at grade I level, was able to retire to stud at a fee of $30,000. Not only did he attract a book of mares that had the second highest class index (CI) of any contemporary first-sea- son stallion, but the resultant crop then achieved the second highest yearling average--for new sires--of $140,000 from 52
sold. As a juvenile, Exploit was unbeaten in four starts that LEONARD TONY included a victory in the Brown & Williamson Kentucky Exploit Jockey Club Stakes (gr. II). He only appeared twice at three, Storm Cat--My Turbulent Miss, by My Dad George winning in the seven-furlong San Vicente Stakes (gr. II) and Ht. 16.0
4 / TBH MarketWatch Drop Kid! A bone chip then sidelined him for six months. It could be argued his bad luck followed him as a three year old. Charismatic won the Kentucky Derby (gr. I) by a neck from the late charging Menifee. In the Preakness (gr. I), Menifee could not reverse the form and again placed second to Charismatic–who went on take three-year-old and Horse of the Year titles. His classic efforts were book-ended by a pair of grade I wins in the Blue Grass Stakes and Haskell Invitational Handicap, both at the expense of Cat Thief, who subsequently won the Breeders’ Cup Classic (gr. I). Menifee is a son of 1994 Vosburgh Stakes (gr. I) winner Harlan (by Storm Cat) and the stakes-winning Halo mare, Anne Campbell (by Never Bend), who was Broodmare of the Year in 1999. Anne Campbell also produced Hollywood Gold Cup (gr. I) winner Desert Wine and Mr. P’s Princess, the dam of champion 2-year-old colt Fasliyev. Being a horse with scope, one should not expect Menifee’s LEONARD TONY Menifee stock to be precocious. Still it is somewhat surprising that Harlan--Anne Campbell, by Never Bend breeders have not afforded him better support considering his Ht. 16.2 excellent yearling average of $98,000 and median of $74,500. His first crop numbers of 37 and 48 are likely to disadvantage him early, but he is a horse with solid credentials.--M.Y. ARTAX As a physical specimen, Artax can compete with any horse. He is an athlete of admirable dimensions, and only Silver Charm and Horse Chestnut can compete with him for power. Of those, Artax was notably the speediest, while Silver Charm and Horse Chestnut carried their speed classic distances. A champion sprinter and winner of the Breeders’ Cup Sprint (gr. I), Artax has an uncommon length of shoulder and depth of girth. This is well balanced by his long hip, which has strong muscling down the length of his hind leg, as well as great width and development across his back and hips. He has a good neck and head, which work well with his
length through the body. Yet despite the mass of his body, GILBERT JOY Artax was a successful racer from ages 2 through 4, winning a Artax half-dozen stakes at distances up to a mile and a sixteenth and Marquetry--Raging Apalachee, by Apalachee developing into a champion sprinter in his final season. Ht. 16.2 Artax is by Marquetry, a winner of nearly $3 million by Horse of the Year Conquistador Cielo, and Marquetry has sired two winners of the Breeders’ Cup Sprint. The other is Squirtle Squirt.--F.M. MAZEL TRICK
Mazel Trick started his career in the French provinces, win- ning two of three starts as a juvenile. A transfer to California led to two victories at three, including a win in the 1 1/16- mile Lazaro S. Barrera Handicap (gr. III). Handled by Bobby Frankel, he was blossoming into a top-class older horse before injury forced retirement. He had scored a six-length victory in the San Diego Handicap (gr. III) and had captured a seven-fur- long track record in the Triple Bend Breeders’ Cup Invitational Handicap (gr. II), which he won by five lengths. It was no JOY GILBERT JOY secret that Frankel was very high on the horse and considered Mazel Trick him a serious contender for some of California’s major graded Phone Trick--Mazatleca, by Ramahorn events. A son of Phone Trick, Mazel Trick is a half brother to Ht. 16.1
TBH MarketWatch / 5 Freshman Sire Review
1994 Hopeful Stakes (gr. I) winner Wild Escapade. He is out of the grade III winner Mazatleca (Mex) whose family has pro- duced few other notable performers. The Airdrie-based Mazel Trick, who has hocks that stand out behind him, has a good- sized first crop of 90. They were well received with 50 year- lings selling for an average of $79,000 and median of $53,500. With 66 foals in his second crop and 104 mares bred in the third year, he should have some sustained support to come.-- M.Y. STRAVINSKY The much-vaunted Stravinsky, though trained in Ireland, made a memorable debut in England. He won at six furlongs after accelerating through a narrow gap along the rail. His subsequent appearances as a juvenile in two seven-furlong ASHFORD STUD tests, unfortunately, weren’t as striking. He ran second in the Stravinsky Prix de la Salamandre (Fr-I), but was disqualified and placed Nureyev--Fire the Groom, by Blushing Groom last. He then ran third in the Dewhurst Stakes (Eng-I). Two more disappointing efforts at the beginning of his three-year- old year followed before a return to six furlongs revitalized his racing career. Stravinsky annihilated a field of older sprinters in track record time in the July Cup (Eng-I) at Newmarket. He unleashed another powerful burst to clear a wall of horses in the five-furlong Nunthorpe Stakes (Eng-I) where he defeated Sainte Marine. Sadly he did not reproduce that form in the Breeders Cup Sprint (gr. I) and went unplaced. The Sprint was his last race. A well-bred horse by Nureyev, he is from the grade I winning Fire the Groom, by Blushing Groom, and has Kentucky Oaks (gr. I) winner Native Street as his third dam. Like all Coolmore stallions, he was very active in the breeding shed. He had 48 yearlings sell for an average of $76,800 and median of $52,000, but his fee has been reduced from $35,000 in 1999 to half that in 2003. Like another excellent European sprinter Dayjur, he may struggle to make his mark in North
America. Not only was he a turf performer, but also the oppor- CLAIBORNE FARM tunities for five- to six-furlong sprinters are relative scarce. Horse Chestnut Fort Wood--London Wall, by Col. Pickering Relocation to Ireland would not be surprising.--M.Y. HORSE CHESTNUT A really strong-looking horse with balance and some quali- ty, Horse Chestnut is the best South African-bred racer since Hawaii, and it is very intriguing that he stands at the same farm that stood Hawaii–Claiborne. Only once beaten in 10 starts, Horse Chestnut ran himself out of competition in his homeland. In the J & B Met, he defeated older horses by more than eight lengths, and Horse Chestnut had earlier slaughtered horses of his own age by 10 lengths in the South African Derby. In his only start in America, Horse Chestnut won the Broward Handicap (gr. III) rather handily by five and a half lengths, but an injury shortly thereafter forced his retirement. Priced at $10,000, Horse Chestnut is one of the two least expensive stallions in this group, but his racing class and very appealing physique drew support from Kentucky breeders. Last TONY LEONARD TONY year, they were rewarded when 20 of Horse Chestnut’s yearlings Silver Charm averaged more than $70,000, with a median price of $50,000. Silver Buck--Bonnie’s Poker, by Poker Ht. 16.2
6 / TBH MarketWatch Horse Chestnut is by the group one winner Fort Wood, one of the best-pedigreed sires in the world as he is by the premier European stallion Sadler’s Wells and is one of nine stakes win- ners out of Fall Aspen.--F.M. SILVER CHARM A good-looking, masculine horse with very good conforma- tion, Silver Charm was the champion of his crop at 3 and 4, winning 11 stakes, including the Kentucky Derby, Preakness, Dubai World Cup, Strub (all gr. I), and earning almost $7 mil- lion. A major winner each year he raced, Silver Charm showed much more precocity than his pedigree suggested. The horse defeated Gold Tribute and Swiss Yodeler in the Del Mar Futurity (gr. II), winning two of his three starts.
By the Buckpasser stallion Silver Buck, Silver Charm is one LEONARD TONY of more than three dozen stakes winners by his sire. Bred and Tactical Cat raced by C.V. Whitney, Silver Buck was from one of Whitney’s Storm Cat--Terre Haute, by Caro premium families, and despite showing his own best form Ht. 16.1 over nine and 10 furlongs as a mature horse, Silver Buck has sired a respectable percentage of 2-year-old winners (22 per- cent) and stakes winners at that age. The dam of Silver Charm is the Poker mare Bonnie’s Poker, who was a very sturdy racehorse. Her sire was exceptionally well bred, being by Round Table out of the Nasrullah mare Glamour from the La Troienne family, and is the broodmare sire of Seattle Slew.--F.M. TACTICAL CAT Tactical Cat was tall as juvenile, probably an influence from his broodmare-sire Caro, but size never hindered his early ability. He won a 4 1/2-furlong maiden race by seven lengths at Keeneland in April. In all he started nine times at two. He won the Tremont Stakes and the 8 1/2-furlong Hollywood Futurity (gr. I) over Prime Timber and produced four stakes- JOY GILBERT JOY placed efforts.

TBH MarketWatch / 11 FRESHMAN SIRE STATISTICAL ANALYSIS Listed below are statistics for stallions with a minimum $1,000 stud fee for 2003 from North America whose first crop are 2-year-olds of 2003. They are listed alpha- betically.
