BUILDING A 100-HORSE GULLO, INCREASING 2YO PRESENCE, BRINGS TWO-PRONGED ADIRONDACK ATTACK STABLE, ONE MICRO- by Joe Bianca SARATOGA SPRINGS, NY--Horsemen and fans of New York SHARE AT A TIME racing are well familiar with the name Gary Gullo. The veteran trainer is consistently potent with claiming types and can get the right horse ready to win first out of the box. On the national scene, his name is much less recognizable, but that changed this year at Saratoga, when he had the distinction of being leading trainer after day one of the elite meet. He=ll look to build on that honor when he starts two juvenile fillies in Sunday=s GII Adirondack S. at the Spa, an opportunity he carved out by going back to what paid the bills when he first started training nearly 40 years ago.

Thornton Japan at the Qatar Goodwood Festival with victory in the G1 Qatar Nassau S. Click or tap here to go straight to TDN Michael Behrens has very suddenly--and a bit unexpectedly, Europe. he admits--found himself in a position to be buying a significant amount of bloodstock. Behrens is the co-founder of MyRacehorse, the micro-shares syndicate that acquires partnership interests in racehorses then slices those assets into far smaller investment opportunities that generally cost below $400 per share and usually equate to one-10th of 1% of ownership in a race-ready horse, all training costs included. The firm barely existed a year ago and only bought its first 2-year-old at auction this March. Yet Behrens told TDN a recent strategy switch from building a crowdfunded stable with mid-caliber stock to assembling a more elite equine portfolio with six-figure-valued horses has been so well received by individual investors that MyRacehorse now projects to triple its current roster of 35 micro-partnerships by acquiring interests in 100 total horses over the next year. AIt took awhile to catch on,@ Behrens said. AI think people were being cautiously optimistic to see if we could deliver what we promised on the micro-share platform. When we first started, we were buying horses valued on average around $30,000.@ Cont. p3 MAKING

MyRacehorse cont. from p1

Wayne O in the ring last summer | Fasig-Tipton Behrens said, AThen halfway through our pilot, we started increasing it to $100,000, and we got more and more positive feedback. As we kept increasing quality, we saw that our growth and quality were perfectly correlated. AConsumers said that it was exciting to be part of horses for such a low level. But we heard over and over the idea of potentially having the >Big Horse= is what they really wanted to be a part of,@ Behrens continued. AAnd the fact that we are able to break these types of horse investments down into microBpercentages, it gives people access to what was once inaccessible. ASo we said, >Let=s just go big. Let=s really get into the top end and see if that continues.@ At this point in MyRacehorse=s career arc, Atop end@ equates to the 2-year-old Wayne O (Into Mischief), a $750,000 FTSAUG purchase that the syndicate bought a 60% interest in from Spendthrift Farm earlier this summer. The colt, a half-brother to GISW Restless Rider (Distorted Humor), debuts in a Saturday maiden special weight at Saratoga for trainer Steve Asmussen. Here=s an example of the demand that is driving MyRacehorse toward more expensive bloodstock: On July 25, when shares of Wayne O first became available for purchase on the MyRacehorse app ($95 for a 100th of 1% of ownership, which includes a separate $600 per-share bonus if the horse ever wins a Grade I), individual investors purchased $103,000 worth of Wayne O shares in the first 30 minutes. The new investor limit was reached within four days, selling out all of the colt=s micro-shares. AEven a couple of weeks ago, I had no clue we were going to start getting involved with $700,000 and $800,000 purchases like Wayne O and the next deal I=m working on,@ Behrens said. TDN HEADLINE NEWS • PAGE 4 OF 16 • THETDN.COM FRIDAY • AUGUST 2, 2019

ABut we=re now intending to spend about 75% of our budget on higher-end 2-year-olds.@ To get a detailed sense of how MyRacehorse works, check out TDN=s original article on the company from June 2018. There have been a few minor pricing and protocol tweaks, but those changes have been updated on the company=s FAQ page. Behrens (a marketing executive who=s developed direct-to-consumer strategies for both start-ups and Fortune 500 companies) and co-founder David Kandasamy (a technology specialist who worked as a product development executive at Netscape, AOL, and Yahoo) spent the year before the firm=s launch grinding away at legal due diligence to make sure the offerings on MyRacehorse were in compliance with securities laws. After operating for the first year as a pilot program in which only California residents could purchase micro-shares, on July 14 MyRacehorse received Securities and Exchange Commission permission to begin accepting investments from 43 states (Texas, Nevada, Arizona, Alabama, Nebraska, Florida and Washington are the holdouts, but the firm expects several of those will be available soon). AA few weeks ago we exited being available in California only, and this past Saturday alone we had 100 new people become owners in one day,@ Behrens said. ABusiness has just been crazy-phenomenal in terms of word of mouth. AAs new owners enjoy the experience, they=re sharing it with others,@ Behrens continued. AHow fast people are adopting the micro-shares platform is amazing. It doesn=t take a lot of people. It=s the power of the crowd. People are starting to take notice that we have a lot of purchasing power because we bring people together to do this.@ Behrens said the decision to upgrade horseflesh was overwhelmingly based on customer feedback. AWhat we heard [from micro-investors] is we want 2-year-olds and we want the opportunity to participate in big races,@ Behrens said. ASo we started with a modest budget of like a couple hundred grand, and OBS March was the first time we went to a sale and started looking for partners. We picked up a Jimmy Creed filly that we liked for $65,000 in partnership with Cardinal Hill Racing. It sold phenomenally [on the micro-shares platform]. So we went back in April.@ At OBSAPR, MyRacehorse bought interests in three more juveniles, partnering separately with owners Joey Platts and Slam Dunk Racing to combine for $360,000 worth of purchases. At OBSJUN the firm partnered with Winning Move Stable for another $100,000 colt. Around the same time, MyRacehorse also started scouting for in-training graded stakes prospects. After Street Band (Istan) won the GII Fair Grounds Oaks, Behrens landed a piece of her For the good of the sport. At Stonestreet Farm, we focus on breeding and raising the strongest, healthiest yearlings possible.

It’s why we have developed an innovative blood sampling, testing and secure storage protocol in partnership with the University of Kentucky Maxwell H. Gluck Equine Research Center—to give you complete confidence.

AWayne actually came out to watch the race with us, and customers wanted to meet him to thank him for the opportunity to partner on a really good horse. It was a special day.@ Right now there are five open micro-partnership opportunities available on MyRacehorse (30 others are sold out). All are 2-year-olds valued between $180 and $320 per one-10th of 1% share. Behrens said MyRacehorse intends to keep acquiring horses as long as the demand for micro-shares warrants further buying.

AThe yearling sales, we are just not ready for yet,@ Behrens said. ABut we are starting to consider that because many of our customers understand there=s the possibility to do a little bit better on ROI if we acquire horses earlier, especially if we=re open to [pinhooking] them.

AIt was great, it really was, it makes things work out for the entire meet,@ Gullo said of his opening day two-bagger, which included debutante Big Q (Big Brown), one half of his Adirondack pair. AAfter that, everything seems to run good. This is a tough place here, especially for me, not having those top horses like other guys got. So winning those two races was really good for the morale of the barn.@ Gullo started out at the racetrack as a 12-year-old, working before school for his father, blue-collar trainer Tom Gullo, who conditioned over 300 winners in his career. Gary went out on his own in 1980, and has built a steady presence on the ultra-competitive New York circuit through hard work and decades-long relationships with his owners. In 1986, he took his first trip to the Ocala 2-year-old sales, where he began to bring back cheaper purchases who became success stories for the barn, allowing Gullo to establish his reputation as a capable horseman with a sharp eye for talent. Eventually, however, he phased out that part of his program when the juvenile auctions became more popular and attracted TDN HEADLINE NEWS • PAGE 7 OF 16 • THETDN.COM FRIDAY • AUGUST 2, 2019

Q&A WITH KELSEY KOBER, TRF WALLKILL'S NEW MANAGER by Diana Pikulski

The Thoroughbred Retirement Foundation (TRF) farm at the Wallkill Correctional Facility recently celebrated its 35th anniversary.

Pasture sound-only Thoroughbreds find sanctuary and a critically important career in the TRF=s renowned program.

And that speaks volumes, because he has a lot of nice horses.” Of the decision to debut at Laurel rather than up at Saratoga, Motion said, “I’ve got to be honest, I’ve been a little confused with his workouts in the morning. He’s been pretty laid-back, and it’s been a little bit hard to gauge him in the morning, so that’s kind of why I chose to run him at Laurel.

BRING ON BATTAASH DEIRDRE WINS THE Friday of the Qatar Goodwood festival can mean only one NASSAU FOR JAPAN thing. Shadwell=s flying machine Battaash (Ire) (Dark Angel {Ire}) bids to follow where Tuesday=s star Stradivarius (Ire) (Sea the Stars {Ire}) led by landing a third edition of one of the meeting=s major prizes, this time the G2 King George Qatar S. over the furiously fast five furlongs he adores. In the form of his life this term, he took the G2 Temple S. at Haydock on May 25 before meeting his nemesis Blue Point (Ire) (Shamardal) in the G1 King=s Stand S. at Royal Ascot on June 18. His two victories in this were achieved with a cumulative margin of 6 1/4 lengths and it is difficult to envisage anything other than another procession. AIt would be an achievement and to get the record would be great,@ trainer Charlie Hills said. AI can=t see why it shouldn=t happen.@ ALast year we were never 100% happy with Battaash--he took a long time to come in his coat and he was always a little a bit on edge in his training,@ Hills added.

Joe Bianca has the piece of consolation as the country=s Deirdre (Jpn) (Harbinger details. Click or tap here to go straight to TDN America. {GB}) swooped late to cause an upset in Thursday=s G1 Qatar Nassau S. at Goodwood. Seemingly shy of her best so far this season, Toji Morita=s 5-year-old, who had captured the 2017 Shuka Sho, was 20-1 taking on the Classic generation but had an ideal pace scenario settled towards the rear as the free-running Mehdaayih (GB) (Frankel {GB}) tanked along in front under Frankie Dettori. That rival looked to have all rivals beaten inside the final two furlongs, but as she veered left and tired Oisin Murphy was enjoying a dream run up the rail and rolled by in the last 75 yards for a 1 1/4-length verdict, with the same margin back to Rawdaa (GB) (Teofilo {Ire}) in third. Deirdre, who has been based at Jane Chapple-Hyam=s Abington Place Stables, was becoming only the second Japanese-trained winner of a Group 1 race in this country after Agnes World captured the G1 July Cup 19 years earlier.

The Next Best THE MOST SUCCESSFUL Ranking the best shuttle sires is not easy. There are many that shuttled intermittently and have since proved to be successful at SHUTTLE STALLIONS least statistically speaking. Three of the very best sires in Europe, Galileo (Ire), Dubawi (Ire) and Shamardal (USA) all shuttled early in their careers before staying north in later years. Winx=s sire Street Cry (Ire) produced nine crops in Australia, but took a two-year break after his first four crops. To take account of the infrequent shuttlers, our first ranking looks at all stallions that came to Australia and New Zealand and produced at least 100 runners, and ranks them by % stakes winners to runners. Our second ranks stallion by the sheer number of stakes winners. Dubawi only produced three crops of runners in Australia, all of which produced Group 1 winners. His first, foaled in 2007, featured Secret Admirer, Tiger Tees (NZ) and Happy Archer. His second crop, produced two years later, included Shamal Wind, Danehill | Bronwen Healy plus the brilliantly consistent Catkins, while his third added five more Group 1 horses, including Srikandi, Willow Magic and Ball Of Muscle. The 4.1% stakes winners to runners produced by by John Boyce Dubawi=s mares when covered by other sires tells us that Beyond question is the fact that Danehill (USA) has set the Britain=s best-ever sire was not the height of fashion when he standard against which all other shuttle sires are compared and first arrived in Australia, but his 11.7% stakes winners is good judged. For the record, the son of Danzig (USA) sired 172 stakes enough to give him the best strike rate of any shuttler since winners from his Australian crops and remarkably another 172 Danehill. stakes winners from his crops conceived in Ireland. And his It=s a similar story with Shamardal. This son of Giant=s strike rate in each region is equally impressive: 15.9% stakes Causeway (USA) missed three seasons between 2005 and 2014 winners to runners from his Irish crops and 17.4% from his but his 25 stakes winners included five Group 1 winners Australian stock. including Hong Kong star Able Friend, rated 130 by Timeform Exacting standards indeed. In fact, his numbers are so good and thus his sire=s second highest rated son or daughter after that no stallion has since come close to matching them. But who dual Royal Ascot Group 1 winner Blue Point (Ire). Cont. p2 are the next best group of stallions that flew south and found success? The key to success in Australia is the ability to produce sprinters, milers and middle-distance runners, something that Danehill was very good at doing in both hemispheres. His Group 1 winners range from 1000m to 3200m in Australia and from 1200m to 4000m in Europe. He=s got top-class sprinters like Fastnet Rock and Mozart (Ire), milers like Fairy King Prawn and Rock Of Gibraltar (Ire), middle-distance horses as good as Duke Of Marmalade (Ire), Zipping and Dylan Thomas (Ire), plus great stayers like Westerner (GB). That said, the key to Danehill=s global reputation was his ability to sire primarily fast horses in Australia and middle-distance horses in Europe, precisely what local breeders required of him.

The Most Successful Shuttle Stallions Cont. from p1 More Than Ready | Bronwen Healy Montjeu=s (Ire) presence in New Zealand lasted five consecutive seasons, before his European runners made him a top-class sire. He would go on to produce 26 Group 1 winners Not only has he sired top-class racehorses like 10-time Group 1 from his Coolmore base in Tipperary. But he still added value to winner So You Think (NZ), who won two Cox Plates, he also has his New Zealand-covered mares and produced five Group 1 a sound chance of preserving his sire line through the promising winners, including the very promising young sire Tavistock (NZ). young stallion Dundeel (NZ), another tip-top racehorse. In fact, There=s no doubt that the return of Darley=s Street Cry from his High Chaparral has the best 10 racehorses of any shuttle sire Jonabell base in Kentucky, prompted by the success of according to the ratings with a score of 123.6. Whobegotyou and Shocking, after a two-year break in 2007 and One shuttle sire that has no peers when it comes to the 2008 proved fortuitous not only for his own reputation as a sire number of stakes winners is More Than Ready (USA) who has but also for the reputation of Australian racing in general. But contributed enormously to Australian breeding and it is a Winx was not the whole story for Street Cry as his 8.5% stakes travesty that his talented son Sebring had his stallion career cut winners to runners and 123.3 top-10 average Timeform rating short. There are other top-class shuttlers we can also mention, suggest. Although he has similar success in each region, there=s none more so than Danehill Dancer (Ire) and Pentire (GB) who no doubt he made more of his Australian mares. started out commuting between the Japan and New Zealand High Chaparral (Ire), like Montjeu a son of Sadler=s Wells before eventually seeing out his remaining days at Rich Hill Stud (USA), also added to the rich tapestry of racing in Australia and in Waikato. New Zealand. From South to North Reverse shuttling (from the Southern Hemisphere to the Northern Hemisphere) has been far less common in the past, but it=s on the increase. And who better to show what=s possible than Darley=s Exceed And Excel. In an arena where stamina is still highly valued and up against all of Europe=s speed sires, Exceed And Excel has shown what=s possible from an Australian sire. His 69 Northern Hemisphere stakes winners (7%) is a commendable total and some way ahead of Fastnet Rock, who only started coming north five years into his Australian stud career. Fastnet Rock sires just about the same ratio of stakes winners in Europe as he does in Australia and he=s formed a lethal partnership with Galileo mares, siring 34.5% stakes winners to Exceed And Excel | Darley runners, including an G1 Epsom Oaks winner in Qualify (Ire).

The Most Successful Shuttle Stallions Cont.

Redoute=s Choice, meanwhile, has just earned his Group 1 sire stripes in Europe through Danceteria (Fr) and he=s currently scoring above 10% stakes winners to runners. All in all, the two sires that give everyone hoping to shuttle a stallion all the encouragement they need are WinStar/Vinery=s More Than Ready and Darley=s Exceed And Excel. Their success in the regions they operate--even though not on the same scale as the great Danehill--are proof positive that shuttling will always be beneficial in all aspects of breeding racehorses.
