LINDA RICE SUSPENDED AND FINED FOR JANUARY SCRATCHES

As part of a new series, we asked a number of people not born into racing families why they got into the sport, and what their first racing memory was.

MAGGIE SWEET, COO, Todd Pletcher Racing Stables

Linda Rice | Sarah K. Andrew Trainer Linda Rice has been suspended five days and fined for a total of $2,500 by the New York State Gaming Commission (NYSGC) for the circumstances that led to the scratching of Littlefirefighter (Into Mischief) and For Honor (To Honor and Serve) from a $25,000 claiming race at Aqueduct Jan. 27. As first reported by the Daily Racing Form, Rice said she scratched For Honor to avoid a positive drug test after being treated with medication days before, while Littlefirefighter was scratched due to owner Iris Smith=s preference to not run in a claiming Why did you get involved in the sport, and what is your race.

His horse to run Littlefirefighter led to a $2,000 fine and a 10-day won, we got Burger King and that was the first of a long list of suspension. The latter penalty was reduced to five days after racetracks that he and I visited together. My first trip to Rice waived her right of appeal. Saratoga for the 1981 Travers was a soaking wet day that Rice, who was previously issued a $500 fine due to a scratch- resulted in me cashing a 10-cent place ticket on Pleasant Colony, related incident in November 2015, is also being investigated by who lost to Willow Hour in a major upset.

FRIDAY, 16 FEBRUARY 2018

A day later, it was announced by the Aga Khan Studs that the A SHARED PASSION AT dual Derby and Arc winner Sinndar, never quite given the love he deserved by increasingly speed-focused buyers, had been STAUFFENBERG BLOODSTOCK retired. The old boy went out on a high courtesy of Fabriano, his most expensive yearling ever sold, while that colt's full-sister, born eight years earlier, had also been noteworthy as a rare yearling purchase by the Aga Khan. Named Four Sins (Ger), she went on to win the G3 Blue Wind S. and G2 Blandford S., and was remarkable as one of very few bearers of the Aga Khan's red-and-green livery not to have been bred by her owner. "It was absolutely an outstanding result for all involved. For us as breeders, for the mare, for the old stallion who retired the next day," reflects Philipp Stauffenberg as he anticipates the birth of a Maxios (GB) foal from Four Roses any day now. The daughter of the Stauffenbergs' foundation mare Fraulein Tobin (J O Tobin) also has a yearling colt by the Gestut Fahrhof resident. Cont. p2 Marion & Philipp Stauffenberg IN TDN AMERICA TODAY By Emma Berry PLETCHER UNVEILS PLANS FOR TOP SOPHOMORES In 2016, Philipp and Marion Stauffenberg had to use all their Trainer Todd Pletcher reveals plans for several of his returning powers of persuasion to convince Tattersalls to grant their stars, including 2017 Classic heros Always Dreaming homebred yearling colt by Sinndar (Ire) out of their prized mare (Bodemeister) and Tapwrit (Tapit).

From the breeders' perspective, here was a well-made and good-looking son of a proven broodmareBBa full-brother to a Group 2 winner no less. The sales company's view when trying to whittle down numbers for the section of the October Sale which is always the most over-subscribed was presumably that the colt whose sire's sales-ring pizazz had long since gone and whose dam was then 18 years of age was a relatively unappealing commercial prospect. Any trainer, agent or potential buyer who has perused the drafts of Stauffenberg Bloodstock over the years will be able to attest to the professionalism of Germany's foremost consignor on the international stage when it comes to presenting youngsters for sale. This knowledge doubtless also informed Tattersalls' final decision to take the colt for Book 2 and they weren't let down when Oliver St Lawrence bid 165,000gns on behalf of Guy Brook for the colt now known as Flintrock (Ger). Twelve months on and the Stauffenbergs were at it again. Flintrock's full-brother Fabriano (Ger), a bigger, stronger version of his elder sibling, sold for 300,000gns to Roger Varian on behalf of Sheikh Mohammed Obaid.

crop of 2016 was Zahara (Ger), a wide-margin winner last year at two and another to emanate from Schlossgut Itlingen, the Stauffenbergs' farm at Ascheberg-Herbern, just south of Munster. For their fellow German breeders Heike Bischoff and Niko Lafrentz of Gestut Gorlsdorf, the Stauffenbergs consigned the most expensive yearling from the first crop of G1 Deutsches Derby winner Sea The Moon (Ger), a 525,000gns colt out of Tickle Me Pink (GB) (Groom Dancer), who, like the Sinndar colt, has gone into training with Roger Varian. The result was doubly important for the Gorlsdorf team as they bred Sea The Moon and stand him at Kirsten Rausing's Lanwades Stud. The presence of Stauffenberg Bloodstock at sales outside Germany, which Philipp plans to extend beyond Britain to include more business in Ireland and France, has increasingly prompted breeders and pinhookers from Britain and Ireland to employ their services when consigning at the BBAG Yearling Sale Sinndar colt out of Four Roses who sold for 300,000gns | Tattersalls in September.

Over the years we have always used stallions which might not look commercial. We have had success on the sales ground and on the racecourse with Nayef, for example."
