HOMEBREDS DOMINANT ON COLONEL LIAM=S PEGASUS A WIN FOR ALL CONNECTIONS THIS YEAR'S DERBY TRAIL by Katie Ritz The journey from Missouri to Hallandale Beach proved to be more than worth it for owners Robert and Lawana Low when they watched their speedy gray colt Colonel Liam (Liam=s Map) flash past the wire to win the $1-million GI Pegasus World Cup Turf S. While Robert Low said they were confident going into the Pegasus, they were unconvinced that the newly-turned 4-year- old had to win by a landslide in order to be considered a top contender in his division. AI think it was a really nice field,@ he noted. AThere were some really nice horses with some good numbers, but he didn=t disappoint.@ Cont. p5

In the TDN Derby Top 12 that will be published in the Feb. 2 edition, no fewer than seven of the leading dozen race for the same owners who planned their matings, raised them as foals, and got those colts into the starting gate. That 7-of-12 ratio is as high a number of homebreds within the Top 12 at any time since I started compiling TDN=s Derby rankings back in 2017. For short-term comparison, using the Top 12 lists that were published the first week of February in each of the last two years, just two homebreds were among the highest-ranked dozen at this point of the 2019 campaign. In 2020, only one homebred made the early-February cut. The 2021 group of A-list sophomore homebreds is currently topped by >TDN Rising Star= Essential Quality (Tapit), who just last Thursday secured Eclipse Award honors in the 2-year-old male division for owner/breeder Godolphin.

It=s far too early to tell for sure. Right now the data sample is not large enough to distinguish causality from coincidence when it comes to linking the success of homebreds to the decline of Lasix usage. And in two of the cases of the above-mentioned seven homebreds, that Lasix theory doesn=t hold water (forced pun intended): Proxy and Prevalence both have only won while racing on Lasix (the former where it was permitted for 2-year-olds at Fair Grounds last autumn and the latter Jan. 23 at Gulfstream, where Lasix is allowable in non-stakes for 3-year-olds). If they are to continue as serious Derby candidates, they=ll have to forego it. But you can bet potential links to medication-free racing will be worthy of further exploration if elite-level homebreds continue to cluster at the top of the crop.

Sundance debut for AJockey@ This past Saturday, two horses named after filmmaking kingpins ran in Derby prep races--Tarantino (Pioneerof the Nile) was second in the Holy Bull S., and Spielberg (Union Rags) ran fourth in the GIII Lewis S. But the more intriguing mashup between cinema and horse racing occurred on Sunday, when the independent, small-budget film AJockey@ overcame long odds to premiere at the world-renowned Sundance Film Festival in the category of U.S. Dramatic Competition. AJockey@ was shot at Turf Paradise in 2019, using live race action and the backdrop of a working stable area to augment the scripted parts of the film. Texas-based director and co-writer Clint Bentley is the son of the late Quarter Horse jockey Robert Glenn Bentley, who rode primarily in the Southwest and also at Pompano Park in the early 1980s when the Florida harness track used to host Quarter Horse meets. Although the debut screening of AJockey@ occurred too late on Sunday evening to allow for a review prior to deadline for this column, advance press material describes the plot as revolving around an aging jockey (Clifton Collins Jr.) trying to go out as a winner despite a litany of injuries that have compromised his health. His spirits get a boost when he gets a leg up on a promising young horse, but when a budding young rider (Moises Arias) arrives on the circuit and claims to be his son, the journeyman jock is forced to confront whether his last gasp at achieving on-track success is more important than his longing for the family connections he gave up to pursue his race-riding dreams. The buzz prior to Sunday=s world premiere was strong enough that AJockey@ was acquired last week by the Berlin-based Films Boutique for international sales, according to the show-biz trade publication Variety.

JOURNALIST PAUL HAIGH DIES AT 76 ITBA AWARDS HONOUR By John Berry TODD WATT AMONG The British racing press room has lost one of its legends with the passing of former HWPA Racing Journalist of the Year Paul TOP BREEDERS Haigh, who has died aged 76. In truth, Haigh, who received his crowning accolade at the Derby Awards ceremony in 1993, was never much seen in the press rooms of British racecourses even at the best of times because he was a feature-writer rather than a reporter. And when he chose to make race-meetings the subject of his features, he would be as likely to watch the action on television in his living room (or in a betting shop) as from the stands through binoculars. But it was this detachment that made his writing so special: he wrote from the point of view of someone more at home throwing his pencil at the TV in disgust as the horse which he has backed starts to weaken than rubbing shoulders with grandees in the Committee Room.

Dolphins swimming in the Venetian canals may have been pandemic fake news, but that the world will have benefited environmentally is one of the few upsides to the coronavirus crisis. What is not fake news is that many heads and livers will have been feeling better on Sunday morning than would otherwise be the case following the annual ITBA Awards, but that is the only benefit to missing out on what is always one of the social highlights of the racing year. Attendance at this event is not for the faint-hearted or the early-to-bedders. Traditionally, gongs are still being handed out past midnight and then the celebrating begins, on the dance floor, in the residents' bar and often through to the breakfast table. Like pretty much every other event of the past year, the ITBA Awards, celebrating the best performances by Irish-bred horses on the Flat and over jumps, was forced into a virtual format, but that didn't stop it being a memorably emotional evening.

ITBA Awards Cont. from p1 Ireland's reputation as a country of Thoroughbred breeders of the highest calibre has long been a cause for celebration but before we toast the best in show for 2020, the award which will have lightened the lockdown gloom the most among the tight-knit breeding community was the Rathbarry Stud-sponsored ITBA Special Recognition Award for Todd Watt. The masterful Tattersalls auctioneer has been absent from the sales for the last few years since suffering a stroke but, with the awards presentations posted in individual video segments across social media channels throughout the evening, viewers and followers were able to see Todd receive his award from Niamh Woods. That he is missed as much as he is loved was clear from the many deserving tributes from his friends and colleagues, both in the moving film and subsequently on Twitter. "All through his career in Tatts, he was our go-to guy, not just for me but for all the Irish," said Eddie O'Leary of Lynn Lodge Stud, summing up the regard in which Watt is held by many vendors at the sales. Fellow Tattersalls auctioneer John O'Kelly added, "Todd Watt is the great ambassador. A lovable character; everybody in the industry has huge respect for him. He sold horses with a smile on his face, he made people feel good, and no stone was unturned to ever get somebody an extra bid for a horse." Horseracing and breeding are not immune to the financial concerns generated by the Covid pandemic but in Ireland some comfort must be taken in the close links between the industry and government, which is doubtless the envy of other racing nations.

This was evident in the fact that the Taoiseach Micheal Martin gave a video address at the start of awards evening, recognising the major contribution of the bloodstock world to Ireland's economy.

While Ireland and Britain remain under strict lockdown, with racing continuing behind closed doors and sales online, there are currently few opportunities for the industry's participants to meet in person. What the ITBA successfully pulled off on Saturday night was bringing people together, albeit virtually, in recognition and celebration of one of Ireland's best attributes: its deserved reputation as a centre for equine excellence.

Paul Haigh Obituary Cont. Overall, though, the principal ingredient in his work was humour. A Paul Haigh column would probably enthuse the reader and very possibly get him thinking--but, most of all, it would almost certainly make him laugh. Michael Harris, under whom Haigh worked both at Pacemaker and a few years later at the Racing Post, said in that newspaper's tribute to his former colleague, "His writing was as good as anything I've ever read on horseracing. Not necessarily from the point of view of his opinions, but certainly from his wonderful style of writing and the humour it conveyed. "He consistently showed all the attributes of a great columnist in that he was controversial, irreverent and often very funny. He was a wonderful raconteur but along with that he was also obstinate and difficult to control. He would say what he thought and to hell with the consequences. "His frequent obsessions with certain subjects and people were almost always entertaining Y The genius of Paul Haigh was A colt by Le Brivido out of Espionne | Haras de la Haie Neuve in his writing ability and journalistic skills.
