Con Te Partiro, who was also runner-up in the 6 1/2-furlong Juvenile Turf Sprint S. at Santa Anita in November, is a half-sister to the Stanton S. winner Donworth, who was also second in the GIII Coolmore Lexington S. and third in the GII Charles Town Classic S. and GII San Antonio S. The dam Temple Street, who was runner-up in the GI Humana Distaff S. and third in the GII Fleur de Lis H., has been bred back to that smart colt=s sire Tiznow for the past three seasons, producing a 2-year-old colt named Victory Lane, a yearling filly named Tiz Ella and a colt foal.

AAll vendors aim for a 100% clearance rate and we brought some nice horses to the ring today so it was nice to see them all go to great homes. This shows the value of buying well-bred fillies at yearlings sales; they can have a very good residual value once their racing days are over.@

ELUSIVE QUALITY PENSIONED LETTER FROM ASCOT: Elusive Quality (Gone West--Touch of Greatness, by Hero=s ROYAL HUNT CUP Honor) has been pensioned from stud duties at Sheikh Mohammed=s Jonabell Farm, the farm announced Wednesday. The 24-year-old stallion is the sire of 2004 GI Kentucky Derby and GI Preakness S. winner Smarty Jones, as well as Australian champion Sepoy (Aus) and English champion Elusive Kate. AElusive Quality has had two great careers but it=s the right time for him just to relax and take it easy here at Jonabell,@ said Dan Pride, COO of Godolphin in America. ABut given the success of his current sons at stud, along with the production from his daughters, his will certainly be a legacy that will last for quite some time.@ Racing in Sheikh Mohammed=s colors, Elusive Quality won the 1998 GIII Jaipur H. and set a world record for a mile in 1:31.63 while winning that year=s GIII Poker H. for trainer Bill Mott. He also set the seven-furlong track record of 1:20.17 at Gulfstream Park in 1997.

There was one scratch, a field of 29 contested the Wednesday event jumping out of three starting gates spread from inner rail to outer rail. The Widener chute was a straight wide course that started where the Belmont training track is now. It crossed where the clubhouse turn met the backstretch, and continued on straight through the infield, right to left. Used mostly for six-furlong 2-year-old races, it crossed a small part of a turf course, and finished at a separate finish line near the eighth pole. A sound system was installed at Belmont in 1936 in part to help the fans sort out what was happening in the early part of those baffling diagonal dashes. With large fields running directly at the announcer's booth at Belmont, I asked Cappy how he was able to call such races. With the biggest grin I had ever seen on his face he said, AWho the hell knew what was really happening in those races? There was no television, and very few in the stands had binoculars. Nobody knew if I was right or wrong.@ Cont. p3 PRESIDENT & CO-PUBLISHER Barry Weisbord @barryweisbord [email protected]

AWe haven=t made modifications to our entry fees or sales At last year=s September sale, a total of 904 horses were sold commissions in over 30 years,@ for prices between $1,000 and Elliston explained. AAs a matter of $19,500. Jim and Pam Robinson=s fact, when you look at horses selling Brandywine Farm sold 46 horses in that for $20,000 or greater, Keeneland price range, and Pam Robinson was the low-cost provider--at each suggests that the decision to level $20,000 and above, we were restructure the commission scale is not about $500 lower than the other only misguided, but is it not being major American auction houses.

Cont. p6 TDN HEADLINE NEWS • PAGE 6 OF 6 • THETDN.COM THURSDAY • JUNE 22, 2017

AI feel for those folks and they know well that it costs as much to raise a $5,000 horse as it does a $50,000 horse or a $500,000 horse. I understand that,@ he commented. AAt the same time, we all have to be reasonable about how we deploy our capital in terms of a proper return on that investment. The September Yearling Sale is the largest in the world, attracts the biggest buyers in the world and has the deepest buying bench. But it may not be for everybody. If the opportunity to get a return on that investment of putting the horse into the sale and prepping that horse for the sale--not only for Keeneland, but for the consignor and the breeder of the horse is not there, then they might have to look at some other options in the regional markets and where exactly that horse fits. He continued, AIt=s a growing problem. When you look at the polarization of the market, it=s been discussed for a while that you have a strong upper and strong upper middle and then when you get to the bottom part of the market, there just isn=t a whole lot of demand. I think that=s something we=re all facing-- Keeneland and the consignors and breeders--because at the end of the day, we=re all partners in this regard. I think we have to challenge ourselves if we bring those horses to market that aren=t commercially viable because there is a fixed cost associated with that.@ To that end, Robinson said that Brandywine will reduce their Keeneland September offering in favor of Fasig-Tipton sales.
