CORSER'S HEART LEADS THIS WEEK IN REVIEW: CAN GUNITE BREAK THE CURSE OF THE HOPEFUL? by Bill Finley HIM TO KENTUCKY There's no doubt that Gunite (Gun Runner) is a quality horse and he secured an important win Monday at Saratoga in the GI Hopeful S. when upsetting the highly regarded colts Wit (Practical Joke) and High Oak (Gormley). But is he a GI Kentucky Derby winner? If the last 43 runnings of the Hopeful mean anything, the answer is no. The Hopeful is the first Grade I race for 2-year-old males run each year on the NYRA calendar and always brings together groups of horses who were impressive winners in Saratoga or someplace else. Every year, the field represents what seems to be unlimited potential. That would suggest that a win in the race is a ticket to stardom as a 3-year-old, but that has not been the case for a long time. The last time a Hopeful winner won the Kentucky Derby way back in 1978 when Affirmed swept the Triple Crown.

Corser's Heart Leads Him to Kentucky (cont. from p1) Corser continued, AThe trainer called again and he said, >I have a couple of babies with a guy called Eduardo. Do you want to go look at them?= I thought, >Well, I=ve got nothing better to do.= I got there about noon and I think I left at 6 p.m. I just really hit it off with Eduardo. We spent four hours standing in a 30-acre field just watching the babies.@ For his part, Terrazas was expecting a quick in-and-out visit before getting back to work. AI got a call from Adam Kitchingman and he told me that he had a friend who was out here in Louisville at some conference and he didn=t have anything to do the following day,@ Terrazas recalled. AHe asked if it was ok for him to come over to the farm and just show him some horses.

By the time he got done, he told me, >Will you help me if I want to get involved in this?=@ Terrazas did his best to discourage his English guest. ABasically I told him, if you think this is an easy game, you are wasting your money,@ Terrazas recalled. AThis is a game for people who have disposable income. Because 90% of the time, it doesn=t happen. Sometimes the horse you think is the best one, when it comes to sales time, he doesn=t X-ray or he doesn=t scope or something happens to him.

AI told him, >If I can=t talk you out of it, let=s just dip your toes in the water before you jump in,=@ Terrazas said. AHe said, >That=s fair.= And then he just kept sending me real estate stuff. He kept asking, >Do you know this farm?

Corser knew just how to sell his wife on the move. AIt was really easy,@ Corser said. AWe flew in on Thursday and landed at Blue Grass Airport.

Handle Numbers at Saratoga and Del Mar For both Saratoga and Del Mar, the 2021 meets were ones to remember, highlighted by record wagering. The final all-sources handle for Saratoga was $815,508,063, a 15.6% increase over last year and the first time Saratoga had eclipsed the $800-million mark. At Del Mar, the average daily handle was a record $18.38 million for the meet. The total handle was $569.98 million. That's great news for Saratoga and Del Mar, which have never been more popular. It would stand to reason that both meets should peak at sometime, but it just doesn't happen. The hope for racing is that Del Mar and Saratoga are creating new fans, ones that will keep betting once racing shifts to Santa Anita and Belmont. But that doesn't appear to be the case as racing's overall handle has been more or less stagnant for years. That means that what is happening is that Saratoga and Del Mar are simply grabbing a bigger share of the pari-mutuel wagering market every year. Racing has found out that it's not hard to get people to turn out for and bet on high-quality short meets, like Saratoga, Del Mar and Keeneland. But the Thursday afternoons at Belmont, Santa Anita, or just about anywhere else, remain a tough sell and something the sport continues to need to work on.

Wednesday - Race 5 - This looks to be a really wide open race with lots of legitimate contenders. I'll take a bit of a flyer on lightly raced but well-bred Bugle of War (War Front). He's been off since finishing one spot behind recent Queen's Plate winner FOR THE PERIOD ENDING SEPTEMBER 6, 2021 Safe Conduct in a Gulfstream allowance in March, and he NORTH AMERICAN-BASED STALLIONS probably needs to get a little faster to win this, but he figures to take a natural step forward with expected maturity in the time away. His maiden-breaking romp came at 1 1/16 miles, so this one-mile trip might be to his liking compared to his two nine- furlong attempts. Accomplished trainer Eddie Kenneally has had a quiet year by his standards, but he's been heating up of late with a Grade I win at Arlington and win rate close to 20% at the Ellis meet as of this writing. Selection: #3 Bugle of War (12-1).

But it's an ill wind that blows no good, and the market adapted so healthily to its sanctuary that it was decided to keep it there. Rebranded as the Somerville Yearling Sale, and deriving many logistical and psychological benefits from its setting, the hosts feel that the auction cannot be fairly measured against its nascent years. But with even those sales having produced some highly accomplished graduates, there was no mistaking the momentum behind this catalogue. Sure enough, trade soared along with the mercury.

Tattersalls Somerville Yearling Sale Cont. As this Valentine's Day delivery entered the ring, auctioneer Ollie Fowlston commanded attention for "an out-and-out Queen Mary filly." "Ollie said that, and we all like to think our fillies might be," reflected Paul Thorman of Trickledown. "But she really could be, you know." Thorman disclaimed all credit for the filly. "We only met her here," he said. "And she consigned herself. Anybody could consign a filly like this. You know, sometimes they can be a bit trappy: they don't want to do this, they don't want to do that. But she just had everything you need. I'd say the best thing of all about her is her head: she had over 100 views and she just loved it, being walked up and down in a heatwave. Great temperament, physically hard to fault, and of course she had a page as well." Her half-brother A Momentofmadness (GB) (Elnadim) was a prolific, group-paced sprinter, and the second dam Applaud (Rahy) won the G3 Cherry Hinton S. But Thorman thought that the contribution of her rookie sire, the son of Showcasing (GB) standing at Nunnery Stud for just ,5,000, should not be underestimated. "They tell me that by the end of October he'll be the one we're all talking about," he said. "There are supposed to be some very nice ones around." "She stood out for me," said Aguiar. "She has a good walk, she's strong, she looks sharp--like a 2-year-old. Like a Royal It spoke well for the Zoustar (Aus) filly offered as lot 236 by Ascot filly!" Galloway Stud, then, that he was knocked down to one as shrewd as Jim McCartan at 70,000gns. The docket was signed in Buyers Snapping Up Breeze-Up Prospects the name of MC Bloodstock.

"But the team at home have done a fantastic job and the filly never put a foot wrong. And we had some perfect timing on the updates." Those included a graded stakes placing at Kentucky Downs for the dam's half-brother Monarchs Glen (GB) (Frankel {GB}) on the eve of the sale, while her Helmet (Aus) filly Libertine Belle TATTERSALLS SOMERVILLE YEARLING SALE (GB) won for a third time the same day.

no-brainer," Piggott said. "She's a big, strong, beautiful filly."

October Quality a Month Early Another fine example of the maturing quality of this auction was the 70,000gns paid for lot 105, a Kodiac (GB) filly from Knockatrina House. She, too, has clear potential in terms of residual value as a half-sister to Group 3 winner Laraaib (Ire) (Pivotal {GB}) out of a stakes-winning half-sister to several black-type producers, including the dams of Gutaifan (Ire) (Dark Angel {Ire}), Maraahel (Ire) (Alzao) and Ventura Storm (Ire) (Zoffany {Ire}). As such, she could easily have been reserved for next month. "She was accepted for Book II," disclosed Canice Farrell of Knockatrina. "But I thought she might get lost in it. Don't get me Jamie Piggott joined forces with Nigel Tinkler for an filly wrong, she's a phenomenal filly. We've had a lot of good horses Tattersalls over the years, three or four Group 1 winnersCand this is a Royal Ascot filly. But I knew she'd be in the top 10% here, and Pinhook Catches Tylicki's Eye she's had 100-plus shows. She has a great mind, and a lovely One of the bigger pay-outs of the day had to be placed in the action." context of its biggest stake, the Expert Eye colt consigned by While Farrell nodded towards Brendan Cooney as he led the Kilminfoyle House Stud as lot 173 having been the sale's top foal filly back to the Wall Boxes, describing him as "the one who has pinhook when sold by Dukes Stud for 41,000gns to JC really done all the work", there's no doubting his own, innate Bloodstock here last December. The wager paid off here when horsemanship. He bred G1 Golden Jubilee S. winner Fayr Jag Freddy Tylicki signed an 80,000gns docket.

We were Remarkably, given the proliferation of black type on the page very keen on this lad, so we're delighted to have got him. He has meanwhile, Farrell was able to pick up this filly's dam Sahool a lovely physique, a great walk, plenty of presence, very good (GB) (Unfuwain) for just 4,500gns here in December 2016, just a eye to him. He ticked a lot of the boxesCprobably all of them!" few months before Laraaib's emergence as a juvenile. Cont. p7 Certainly a tick could be applied to a page that might have held up well enough here next month: the dam, who has already produced a graded stakes winner in the U.S., is a (Ire) half-sister to G1 Coronation S. winner Balisada (GB) (Kris), their mother in turn of a half-sister to Inchmurrin (GB) (Lomond), runner-up in the same race. That might only get you so far, of course, with a colt. But a few minutes later there was a case for saying that an Awtaad (Ire) filly (lot 188) from Tally-Ho might eventually justify the 65,000gns paid by Jamie Piggott and Nigel Tinkler simply as a breeding prospect. For her dam, already a black-type producer, is a half-sister to Independence (GB) (Selkirk), the dual Group-winning dam of G1 Eclipse winner Mount Nelson (GB) (Rock Of Gibraltar {Ire}); while the next dam is a half-sister to Derby winner Reference Point (GB) (Mill Reef). The same partnership bought another Awtaad colt for Roger Marley (above), with Kevin Ryan, shelled out 70,000gns for a 50,000gns in Book II here a couple of years ago, now the daughter of Kodiac (GB) | Tattersalls 99-rated four-time winner Isla Kai (Ire).

St Lawrence Feels the Heat "Very hot!" said Oliver St Lawrence, when asked about how he was finding the afternoon. And he was referring to the trade, not the weather, having been underbidder to Robson Aguiar on both the top prices paid to that point, when he finally landed a Kessaar (Ire) colt from Tally-Ho Stud for 62,000gns. The agent admitted that he hadn't particularly had the rookie stallion in the front of his mind, coming to Doncaster and then here, but had been quite taken with what he had seen of his output so far. Kevin Ross struck late in the session for a son of Night of Thunder Though the family tapers through the studs of Aga Khan and Tattersalls Marcel Boussac, it has recently been concentrating on outright speed and that wouldn't seem likely to change with lot 138, Tattersalls Somerville Yearling Sale Cont. result of the union of Kessaar with an unraced Whipper mare Having retained another of her daughters, herself in foal to already responsible for half a dozen juvenile winners.

Sadly, Llety Farms this spring lost their dam Miss Poppy (GB) (Averti {Ire}), a half-sister to the champion sprinter Cox Plucks Another Apple from a Cherished Tree Kyllachy (GB) (Pivotal {GB}). A single glimpse at the catalogue page would have sufficed to "There's plenty of speed in the family," said Marley.

Cont. p8 Night of Thunder Lights up the Evening The embers of a sweltering day, in and out of the ring, were stoked up in the cool of the evening by the appearance late in proceedings of a Night Of Thunder colt consigned as lot 272 by Whatton Manor Stud. Out of the wryly-named Fleabiscuit (Ire) (High Chaparral {Ire}), a debut winner at two before managing only one more start, he brought 78,000gns from Kevin Ross after some determined breeze-up competition. "He's by a proper sire," the agent said. "And a good, solid colt. The mare must have had a lot of ability, for a High Chaparral to win as a 2-year-old, and we just liked the individual." Ross was acting on behalf of Paul and Clare Rooney, as had been the case earlier when he gave 68,000gns for lot 247, a Dandy Man (Ire) filly consigned by Cooneen Stud.
