OBS JUNE CONCLUDES GOLDEN GATE UPDATE: TOC CONDUCTS MEETING FRIDAY by Dan Ross The latest salvo in a rapidly escalating simulcasting dispute in Northern California has been fired by the Thoroughbred Owners of California (TOC), which hosted a meeting of owners at Golden Gate Fields Friday morning to advocate an approach of business as usual for the rest of the year. This would mean the track stays open for training this summer and that it runs its originally scheduled race dates between Aug. 22 through Oct. 2, but that all necessary parties work together to restructure the Northern California Off-Track Wagering Inc. (NOTWINC) simulcast organization into a more "profitable business" in the long-term, said TOC CEO Greg Avioli, about his organization's position. Cont. p8

The leading buyer was Carlo Vaccarezza, who purchased seven horses, including the $650,000 sales topper, for $1,010,500. Eddie Woods, who sold a million-dollar juvenile at the Fasig- Gulfstream sale and topped the Barretts April sale, said he noticed more strength at the top end of the market during this spring=s 2-year-old sales. AI think, at the better end, there was a bit more strength,@ Woods said. AThere were more horses sold for better money across the board at all the sales throughout the country. I don=t think at any sale was there a horse that brought crazy money, but there was a lot of money at the better end and there was more of it. It=s a growing trend, both at the yearling sale and in every part of our industry, the top end is getting a little bit more spread out and a little stronger.@ The OBS April sale was the undisputed highlight of the season. The four-day auction produced strong results from top to bottom and featured a rejuvenated middle market. AApril was probably, across the board, one of the best sales we=ve seen in years, just because so many horses got pedaled,@ Woods said. AThere was so much money at every level and even the useful horses got sold.@ The lower and middle market at the June sale was bolstered by participation by Carribean entities, with the Confederacion Hipica de Puerto Rico purchasing 56 juveniles to be the sale=s fifth leading buyer, and the Royal St. Lucia Turf Club acquiring 20 head. AIt was great to have the Puerto Rican groups participating at the level that they did, as well as the St. Lucia group and the Korean groups,@ Wojciechowski said. AThey were very helpful to the sale. I am sure a lot of those people were here in April and didn=t get their orders filled and fortunately we were able to help them out in June.@

Woods still saw some weakness in the middle market. AThe middle market is a little tricky here,@ Woods said as the June sale wound down. AOn the first show day on Monday, the traffic was dismal--you couldn=t start an argument, never mind an auction. People showed up for the sale at the end of the day and it looks like the people have found the better horses. At the lower end, we had the usual South Miami and island guys. But the thing that we don=t have here anymore is an East Coast presence. There were nearly no trainers. I don=t think the money is around for that kind of horse anymore.@ The yearling sales begin next month and Woods said his approach to buying yearlings won=t change this year. AWe=ll stick with the same thing,@ he said. AWhen we get it right, it=s always worked well. And that=s a bit of quality. We pay a little bit more for them to just get the real deal we want. The worst thing you ever say to yourself at the sale is, >He=ll be ok, if...= They are never ok, if. One in 20 is >ok, if= because he iffed and the other 19 didn=t. But he doesn=t pay for the other 19. So you have to be very comfortable and really like what you=re buying.@ The June sale also included a section of Horses of Racing Age, with an unraced gelding by Jimmy Creed (hip 853) bringing top price of $60,000. The 3-year-old was consigned by Gayle Woods and purchased by bloodstock agent Alistair Roden. In all, five horses sold for $96,600 and an average of $19,300.

Scat Daddy Colt to Redekop Scat Daddy, already represented by Wednesday=s $650,000 sale topper, had another session topper Friday in Ocala when bloodstock agent Alistair Roden went to $360,000 to secure a colt by the late stallion on behalf of Peter Redekop. AHe=ll go to California, but I=m not sure just yet on a trainer,@ Roden said. AI=ll have to get with those guys and see about a trainer.@ Consigned by Wavertree Stables, the bay colt (hip 742) was bred by Bryant Prentice=s Pursuit of Success, which purchased his dam Imprecation (First Defence) for $223,246 at the 2013 Tattersalls December sale. The juvenile=s second dam is Media Nox (GB) (Lycius), dam of Group 1 winner Nebraska Tornado (Storm Cat) and group winners Burning Sun (Danzig) and Mirabilis (Lear Fan). He worked a furlong last week in :10 1/5. AHe=s a Scat Daddy who breezed really well,@ Roden said of the colt=s appeal. AHe=s a beautiful horse with a good pedigree.@ Asked about the colt=s final price tag, Roden said with a chuckle, AI think it had something to do with the Triple Crown.@ He added, AScat Daddy is obviously a very good sire. This horse probably has more of a grass pedigree.@

Of the market in Ocala this week, Roden added, AThe good ones sell for a lot of money. It=s always competitive for the good ones.@ Imprecation produced a colt by Hard Spun last year and a filly by Into Mischief this year.

Quick Double Strike for Plesa Trainer Eddie Plesa took home a pair of juveniles in quick succession Friday in Ocala, going to $260,000 to secure a colt by Into Mischief just six hips after acquiring a colt by Uncaptured for $230,000. Both were purchased on behalf of Karl and Cathi Glassman. AWe=ve been trying to get an Into Mischief this year,@ Plesa, sitting alongside his wife Laurie and retired Hall of Fame jockey Bobby Ussery, said after signing the ticket on hip 660. AHe=s an outstanding stallion and this was the right time and the right price.@ The colt is out of Farayya (Hard Spun), a daughter of graded stakes placed High Cholesterol (Until Sundown) and a half to group winner Giftorm (War Pass). Bred by Janavar Thoroughbreds, the bay colt RNA=d for $80,000 at last year=s Keeneland September sale and was consigned Friday by Gene Recio. AHe has a shoulder that is second to none,@ Plesa said of the colt, who worked a quarter last week in :21 2/5. AHe=s just a very attractive looking individual--he=s my type of horse.@ Plesa also signed the ticket on hip 654, a colt from the first crop of Canadian champion Uncaptured. AI think Uncaptured is as hot a 2-year-old sire as you=re going to have in the country right now,@ Plesa said. AI have a couple down in South Florida right now and they both can run. I think he=s got an outstanding opportunity to be the leading juvenile sire.@ Uncaptured, who stands at Ocala Stud, has already been represented by a pair of winners at Gulfstream Park, including the impressive 10 1/2-length debut winner Capture Your Dream. The juvenile, who worked a furlong in :10 flat last week, is out of Fabiana=s Flash (City Zip), a daughter of graded stakes winner Flashy N Smart (Smarten). AThis horse fits all the bills for us,@ Plesa said of the bay. AHe is a Florida Stallion Stakes horse, he=s a Florida-bred.@ The colt was consigned by Costanzo Sales. Tony Costanzo purchased the youngster for $60,000 at last year=s OBS October sale. AHe=s was just a really nice looking yearling and he turned into a really nice 2-year-old,@ Costanzo said. AI was grateful to get him for the $60,000.@ Also on behalf of the Glassmans, Plesa purchased a colt by Speightstown (hip 494) for $100,000 during Thursday=s second session of the sale.

wire-to-wire to claim a historic victory, becoming just the second undefeated Triple Crown winner after Seattle Slew. AIt wasn=t really until the Belmont, that he really caught up to the rest of his crop as far as maturity, race savvy-ness and experience,@ Walden said. AI think he is a horse that belongs in the conversation with horses like Seattle Slew.@ The Triple Crown is the ultimate dream of everyone involved in racing and WinStar and the China Horse Club are no exception. While WinStar is a stalwart in this business, the China Horse Club is relatively new, established just five years ago. Though they have enjoyed great success worldwide, the Triple Crown win had increased meaning. AA Triple Crown represents the possibilities that CHC offers,@ Teo said. AWe have always said we want to offer CHC members the opportunity of a lifetime and that we intend to compete at (L to R) Sol Kumin, Winstar owners Lisa & Kenny Troutt, Teo Ah Khing, the highest of levels. Justify represents our company, our people Mike Smith & Bob Baffert | Sarah Andrew and the ability to do great things.

People dream of Immediately after the Belmont, racing fans and analysts alike winning such a Classic. To see the crowd=s reaction to our own began to speculate as to whether or not Justify, who is now one = Derby winner was a very humbling experience. We were of the world s most valuable racehorses, would be retired after his historic achievement. Walden said the owners are looking confident, as we knew we had a special horse, but the Derby is forward to the popular chestnut=s next race as much as so hard to win with such a big field, the weather, etc., so to everyone else. claim victory was an amazing experience.@ AWe will give it a couple of weeks before we really talk about The Derby weather conditions followed Justify to Pimlico, [where he will race next], but as long as the horse is healthy, where he was pushed by champion Good Magic (Curlin) every there will be [a next race],@ Walden said. AHe came out of it in step of the way in the GI Preakness S. and emerged from the fog great shape. Bob took some precautionary x-rays to make sure a narrow winner over a rallying Bravazo (Awesome Again). he came through all this fine and everything looked good.@ While many fans began to doubt the seemingly unbeatable colt=s ability to get a mile and a half at Belmont after the Preakness, his connections did not. AI felt like all the talk about the Preakness not being a good race was not true or fair,@ Walden said. AFrom my eye, I saw three things I really liked. One was Mike Smith wrapped up on him the last 150 yards and held something in reserve. Two, Bravazo didn=t gallop out in front of him. When Bravazo engaged him in the turn, Justify galloped on. Three, the fact he went head and head with the 2-year-old champion Good Magic for nearly a mile and still held off those horses, to me, was the test of a champion. I thought he was moving forward, not backward.@ Justify proved Walden right and silenced the doubters on a sunny June day over a fast track at Belmont, taking the field Click here for video of Justify selling at Keeneland stretch run, but let the result stand.
