Swiss Kiss lost her pregnancy last year but she’s in foal to Dark PREMIER CLOSER Angel.” As with on Tuesday, when he had also been active, Dance was not on the scene and Creighton spoke on his behalf. “She was just a lovely mover--very Acclamation,” he said. “She has the pedigree and John is in to breeding so it’s a very alive page. John and [wife] Jess came here Sunday and Monday and loved her. We’ll decide on the trainer--it might be Karl Burke again if they want to go down the same route. We beat Angus Gold to buy Laurens and have done it again here.” On Laurens herself, who was a slight disappointment in last week’s G1 Yorkshire Oaks S., Creighton revealed: “She’ll go back in trip; basically she didn’t stay. They had to give it a go and see if they could go down the Arc route with her but there’s the likes of the Matron and the Champion S. at Ascot left.” Cont. p2 Session-topping Acclamation filly at Doncaster | Goffs UK IN TDN AMERICA TODAY ACCELERATE TO LANE’S END UPON RETIREMENT By Tom Peacock Leader in the Handicap division Accelerate (Lookin At Lucky) will DONCASTER, UK--Trevor and Libby Harris produced the Goffs stand at Lane’s End upon the end of his racing career.

On that same day at Doncaster in 2016, John Dance had spent an unprecedented £220,000 on the filly who has made his name as an owner, this season’s G1 Prix de Diane S. winner Laurens (Fr) (Siyouni {Fr}). It was Dance who swooped for Lordship’s lot 267, consigned like Yafta by Highclere Stud, when Daniel Creighton signed for her for £240,000 on his behalf. Their latest acquisition is a daughter of Acclamation (GB) representing the same Swiss Lake family that the Harrises Newmarket operation have nurtured so carefully. Although her dam Swiss Kiss (GB)(Dansili {GB}) did not hit the heights on the track to such an extent as siblings like Swiss Diva (GB) (Pivotal {GB}) and Yafta’s dam Swiss Dream (GB) (Oasis Dream {GB}), her smart genes make her a valuable commodity.

    Pedigrees: A Practical Approach TOBA Pedigree & Conformation Clinic Saratoga Springs, NY Suzi Shoemaker, Lantern Hill Farm 1 Ordway Pampered Princess Dreaming of Anna Capt. Candyman Can Welcome to Saratoga and TOBA’s pedigree clinic. I’m Suzi Shoemaker, of Lantern Hill Farm in Midway, KY. This morning I’ll discuss current thoroughbred breeding trends and encourage you to use practical horsemanship in your pedigree evaluations for breeding or buying thoroughbreds. I’ve been privileged to make my living breeding and selling racing thoroughbreds since graduating college and moving to KY from upstate NY in 1978. Along the way I’ve bred, raised or sold the likes of Eclipse Champion Dreaming of Anna, as well as Grade 1 winners Capt. Candyman Can, Pampered Princess and Ordway. 2 Hepburn and HER SMILE (G-1) in 2008 I’ve also been fortunate to care for horses for some of the country’s leading race horse breeders, and benefitted from living with their mares and foals and seeing diverse breeding philosophies put to the test. The best recent example of that is Mr. William Backer’s mating of Include to Capote’s daughter Hepburn which produced 2011 Grade 1 Prioress Stakes winner Her Smile. And while money from horses I bred and sold funded the purchase of two farms, I now have the great fortune to race some home-breds and find out first hand how certain traits fall out of pedigrees onto the race track. 3 Variability is decreasing in our gene pools Worldwide dominance of Northern Dancer-Mr. Prospector cross Increased book sizes for small number of Kentucky stallions Few new imports of outcross sires Speaking from that perspective, I’d like to share three observations about today’s pedigrees that might help you succeed at the track or the sales.
