The only thing I=ll take credit for is that we gave him a lot of time for his injury as a 2-year-old. He won last year here and came out of a race with activity in his tibia that would have turned into fractures. But the bigger thing was he had some cysts in his hocks. (They were) dug out surgically and we gave him a lot of time to get over it. The time allowed him to grow into himself and become a good horse and I hope for even better things to come if I get lucky.@

Havre de Grace cont. Of the decision to send Havre de Grace to Tapit, Sweezey explained, AWe had tossed around several different stallions, obviously all the high-end stallions that Havre de Grace could go to, horses like Bernardini, Galileo (Ire) and Tapit. We did a lot of research and used pedigree analyst John Prather, who was a big help. We studied all the options.@ Ultimately, it was decided to focus on American stallions. AMandy loves her horses and she wants to be able to see them and handle them,@ Sweezey said. AShe could have gone to Galileo, but she made the decision to stay in the States because she wanted to see her. And then, with Bernardini, we were concerned because she has Quiet American with Saint Liam and, if we had gone to Bernardini, we would have doubled up on the Fappiano- line, so that kind of pushed us away from Bernardini, although he would make a lovely cross for her. So we went with Tapit because we felt we had the best opportunity for a good return on the product if we went with him.@ Havre de Grace will be the second Horse of the Year to visit Tapit, who stands at Gainesway, following (Street Cry {Ire}) in 2012. Racing for Rick Porter=s Fox Hill Farm, Havre de Grace was a three-time Grade I winner and earned over $2.5 million. Two-time Grade I winner Plum Pretty, who earned over $1.6 million on the racetrack for Peachtree Stables, will be bred to WinStar=s Distorted Humor. AIt may not be 100% true, but it is fairly true, if you don=t have La Troienne on the bottom side of the pedigree with Distorted Humor, he has had a very low percentage of stakes horses,@ Sweezey explained. APlum Pretty has many doses of La Troienne, so when you put her with Distorted Humor, there has historically been a lot of success with those crosses. That was the main reason we went there. And WinStar is awesome to work with.@ Sweezey gave Pope all the credit for picking matings for the two mares. AAll these decisions were made 100% by Mandy,@ he said. AWe provided her with the information and she labored at it and she came back and told us where she wanted to go. She is an excellent horseperson and she is an excellent judge of a horse, so her decision does not come from out of the blue. It is well thought-out.@ Asked how the two mares are adjusting to life at Timber Town, Sweezey commented, AThey are both under lights obviously, because they are both maiden mares. They live together in the same paddock and they will continue to do so until after they are bred and in foal. Havre de Grace has a very strong personality, whereas Plum Pretty is a little more docile and more loving, but they love one another and it will be difficult to separate them.@ Of having two multi-million dollar mares in the same paddock, Sweezey added, AWhen you get right down to it, horses are horses. So you may look out your window five more times a day at that barn, but at the end of the day they go in the same stalls and they live the same lives and get the same feed and behave just like the rest of them.@ TDN P HEADLINE NEWS • 12/27/12 • PAGE 7 of 15 • thoroughbreddailynews.com NEWS TODAY

COMING OF AGE With just one week left in the season, the title of leading sire in North America (by progeny earnings) involves three horses: WinStar=s Speightstown, a son of Gone West out of a Storm Cat mare who never won a black-type race until he was a 6-year-old (in 2004, when he went 5-for-6, including the GI Breeders= Cup Sprint, and won the as champion sprinter), is the narrow leader both on the TDN Year-to-Date General Sire List (North American sires) (click here) and The Blood-Horse=s General Sire List. As we=ve noted before, the two lists do not necessarily agree, primarily, we believe, because The Blood-Horse counts jumps race earnings in North America, whereas we do not. So The Blood-Horse, as of Monday (Christmas Eve), had Speightstown less than $100,000 in front of Ashford=s two-time leading sire Giant=s Causeway (Storm Cat) and former Juddmonte stallion (now Japan) Empire Maker (Unbridled), whereas the TDN list had Empire Maker in second, some $65,000 behind Speightstown, but almost $400,000 in front of Giant=s Causeway. All three were between $9.5-$10 million on both lists. Tapit (Pulpit), like Speightstown a sire whose first foals were born in 2006 (F2006) and raced in 2008, was in fourth on both lists, with 2012 progeny earnings around $9.1 million. We can all think what we like about a stallion=s prospects of making a sire; it=s all speculation until they start to have runners. Commercial pressures force us to jump on to the latest freshman sire sensation=s bandwagon, but the fact is the first time we have a really reliable pointer to eventual sire success is the end of the year the sire=s first 3-year-olds have run. Over the past 25 years, I=ve been surprised over and over again at how frequently sires= APEX figures at that stage pinpoint future greats. Usually the APEX figures are a year or even two ahead of the markets--though in the case of Smart Strike, we were calling him a top sire in 2002, whereas it was four or five years later that the markets caught up with him. By the beginning of 2010, we could already see from the year-end 2009 APEX figures that the group of North American sires with first foals 2006 (3-year-olds of 2009) was a very serious bunch. On Jan. 14, 2010-- after their first 3-year-olds had run--we printed a list of sires with first foals 2006 (abridged top five below) which showed four sires, already with 150+ year-starters in 2008-09, with A Runner Indexes above 3.00: Speightstown (4.49), Candy Ride (3.97), Medaglia d=Oro (3.05), and Tapit (3.03).

Oppenheim cont. TDN P HEADLINE NEWS • 12/27/12 • PAGE 11 of 15 • thoroughbreddailynews.com

Though their raw indexes normally drop as they have more crops--and we=ll see in a couple of weeks, when we get the new APEX data through the end of 2012 from TJCIS, just where they all stand by that criterion-- all four sires have continued to ascend the sire rating ladders, and are now well established among the top AThere are two very significant statistics embedded in these graphs sires. Obviously, with Speightstown as the 2012 North and tables: first, both in North America and Europe the clearance America number one by progeny earnings, and with rate from the catalogues has improved by 10 points since 2008 B Tapit among the top four for the second straight year, likely a combination of shrinking production, tighter credit, and that has proven true. It is interesting to note, when we look at some of the better discipline from surviving breeders. Second, Europe=s key statistics for this sire group, that their current stud percentage of the combined pie has improved by 20% - from fees really don=t correlate to their positions on the 35%($517.8-million of $1.481-billion) in 2008 to 42% current General Sire List: Medaglia d=Oro, for example, ($512.5-million of $1.215-billion) this year. America is down 27% ranks 19th on the current TDN General Sire List, yet his in gross; Europe is down by 1%.@ $100,000 fee is higher than Speightstown=s, who is B Bill Oppenheim $60,000, though ranked number one. >Medaglia,= of course, jumped straight to the top with 2009 Horse of the Year Rachel Alexandra in his first crop. His stud fee went from $40,000 right to $100,000 for 2010, the year he moved from Stonewall to Darley. He actually ranked eighth on the General Sire List in 2009--almost unprecedented for a sire with just 3-year-olds--and ranked ninth in 2011, and has been in the top 20 in 2010 and 2012, with, as the Darley ads remind us, his first crop from his $100,000 stud fee 2-year-olds of 2013. He now has nine Grade I/Group 1 winners, so we could argue there is more of a correlation with that statistic than anything else. Tapit, who has worked his way up the stud fee ladder (2010-$50,000; 2011-$80,000; 2012-$125,000), now has 10 Grade I/Group 1 winners, and of course now stands for even more than TOTAL NORTH AMERICAN ANNUAL SALES >Medaglia.= Speightstown, who now has six winners at YEAR CAT RING SOLD %W/D %S/R %S/C GROSS AVG the highest level, is probably impossible to get to now 2012 18,210 14,897 12,296 18.2% 82.5% 67.5% $702,413,000 $57,125 at $60,000, while Candy Ride, with seven Grade 2011 19,851 16,106 12,993 18.9% 80.7% 65.5% $709,741,650 $54,625 I/Group 1 winners, has always been in the top 50 on 2010 21,556 17,612 13,440 18.3% 76.3% 62.3% $608,872,300 $45,303 2009 23,560 18,307 13,812 22.3% 75.4% 58.6% $651,214,150 $47,148 the General Sire List, but has never cracked the top 20, 2008 27,166 21,313 15,714 21.5% 73.7% 57.8% $963,272,600 $61,300 so his stud fee is now $40,000, actually down, from $50,000 last year. By comparison, Lion Heart, who reached the top 10 in 2010, when Dangerous Midge won the GI Breeders= Cup Turf, and is again in the top 10 this year, has only sired two Grade I/Group 1 winners, which is maybe why he is now standing in Turkey.

Eclipse Awards Speaking of Groupie Doll, you have to bear in mind that there are really no definitive guidelines for Eclipse voters. Do you vote for the >best= horse, the >fastest= horse, or the horse who had the highest visibility and/or did the most for racing? It=s kind of up to the individual voter, and, as a voter, I tend to invoke different criteria in different years, in different categories. For example: the >4-year-old & Up Male= category. Should that include any 4-year-old and up, or just dirt horses, since there is also a >3-year-old & Up Male Turf= category? The horses affected this year are GI Breeders= Cup Mile winner Wise Dan (Wiseman=s Ferry) (5-for-6 this year: 4-for-4 on the turf, including three Grade I=s; a 10- length winner of a Grade III on the AW at Keeneland, running a Beyer 117; and beaten a head in a Grade I in his only start on the dirt) and GI Breeders= Cup Turf winner Little Mike (Spanish Steps), winner of three Grade I=s on the lawn in 2012. Some voters are likely to split the two, maybe vote for Wise Dan as best Older Male and Little Mike as best Turf Male, but I have chosen to consider them both in the Turf category, which means my vote for Older Male goes to (E. Dubai), who scored his second Grade I win of the year in the GI Breeders= Cup Classic, running a Beyer 117 to defeat the ultra-game (Macho Uno). Wise Dan is Turf Male, which leaves Little Mike without a title, on my ticket. The other comment I=ll make, relevant to some of my other votes, is that I=m 100% convinced I=ll Have Another would have won the GI Belmont by five lengths plus and won the Triple Crown in a cakewalk had he not come up with a career-ending injury two days before the race. Doug O=Neill gets my vote for leading trainer, first for getting him into that position; second, for bringing racing into better repute with his positive and inspiring conduct throughout the Triple Crown; and third, for not pressing owner Paul Reddam (or Reddam Racing LLC, to be precise) into running the horse when the injury was discovered.

The only category in which the racing isn=t completed at this writing is 3-year-old filly, in which pro-tem champion My Miss Aurelia (Smart Strike) was due to compete yesterday in California, so my votes won=t go in until today at least. So, that all said, here are one voter=s choices for the top spot in each category:

2-Year-Old Colt & Gelding: Shanghai Bobby (Harlan=s Holiday)

2-Year-Old Filly: Beholder (Henny Hughes)

3-Year-Old Colt & Gelding: I=ll Have Another (Flower Alley)

3-Year-Old Filly: My Miss Aurelia (Smart Strike), for her defeat of in the GI Cotillion (in which she received 7 pounds) and her very good second to in the GI Breeders= Cup Ladies= Classic

4-Year-Old & Up Male: Fort Larned (E. Dubai)

4-Year-Old & Up Female: Royal Delta (Empire Maker)

3-Year-Old & Up Male Sprint: Trinniberg (Teuflesberg)

3-Year-Old & Up Female Sprint: Groupie Doll (Bowman=s Band)

3-Year-Old & Up Male Turf: Wise Dan (Wiseman=s Ferry) Leading Breeder: Brereton C Jones. Though Darley and Adena Springs had more money this year, >Brere= has 3-Year-Old & Up Female Turf: Zagora (Green Tune), by been among the top 10 countless times, and deserves 3/4 of a length over Marketing Mix (Medaglia D=Oro) this recognition for his career acheivements.

Steeplechase: Pierre Lunaire (War Chant) Leading Jockey: Ramon Dominguez

Horse of the Year: 1. Wise Dan; 2. I=ll Have Another; Leading Apprentice Jockey: Eliska Kubinova, from the 3. Fort Larned Czech Republic via Emerald Downs, and now trying to break into Southern California. She was fourth in races Leading Owner: Reddam Racing LLC won as an apprentice, but is a great story.
