One of his most reliable performers in this regard is Breathtaking Look (GB), who heads to the Tattersalls December Mare Sale (lot 1662) from Diomed Stables. Her combination of speed, class and consistency gives the 5-year-old a profile with a commercial outlook. Of her six victories for trainer Stuart Williams and his brother-in-law Jonathan Parry, two have been Group 3 contests, at last year and in Deauville in August, where she beat Air De Valse (Fr) in the Prix de Meautry. Her form this season has a particularly solid look to it with two runner-up finishes behind subsequent Group 1 winners Oxted (GB) and Dream Of Dreams (Ire). "I'd be surprised if there are many mares in the catalogue whose first three dams are all black-type performers and producers," says Williams, who selected Breathtaking Look at Tattersalls as a yearling from October Book 3. "We're excited to take her to the sale and would like to see her do well.

While Breathtaking Look has been the star of Diomed Stables this year, some of the yard's former residents have also been making names for themselves from the paddocks in 2020, including the dams of two Classic winners Love (Ire) (Galileo Senior Vice President Gary King {Ire}) and (Fr) (Siyouni {Fr}).

knew the family really well having had some of them on the PERFECT PLAN farm. It=s a good selling family and she's a queen herself. I was happy to buy her," Murphy told TDN AusNZ. FOR THE MURPHYS Invictus Salute had been twice stakes placed, in a Listed Woodlands S. as a 2-year-old and then in a G3 Bellmaine S. earlier this year, before Sledmere purchased her. Her stakes-placed dam Acquired (NZ) (O'Reilly {NZ}) is a sister to the influential broodmare and Group 2-winning juvenile Hips Don't Lie (NZ) (Stravinsky {USA}), who has produced three $1 million-plus yearlings herself, including stakes winning Fastnet Rock mare Lake Geneva. At the point when Sledmere bought Invictus Salute, she was one of three stakes-placed horses out of Acquired (NZ), the others being Acqume (Sepoy) and Splintex (Snitzel), but soon after the sale, the dam's pedigree got a significant boost when Splintex won the G2 Arrowfield 3YO Sprint. "The day after I bought her, Splintex won the Group 2 and we were pretty much out of her the next day. Obviously winning Invictus Salute | Inglis the Listed race was a cherry on top really. It=s something Mark (Newnham, trainer) and I have been talking about since we bought her, just to try and get that over the line," Murphy said. by Bren O'Brien A month after purchasing her, Sledmere offered Invictus Royston Murphy has been in the thoroughbred industry long Salute through the Inglis Chairman's Sale, but it was always enough to know how rare it is for a plan to work out perfectly, going to take a significant offer to prise her away, given which is why Invictus Salute's (Exceed And Excel) win in Murphy's faith in both the mare and her extended family. Saturday's Listed Starlight S. was such a significant one for "We thought maybe it was a chance to cash in on her and we Sledmere Stud. put her in the Chairman's Sale, but we put a pretty big reserve The victory was not only a first at stakes level for a horse in the on her. We knew her value and she really had to make the Sledmere Stud colours, it was a key part of a plan that the money for us to sell her," he said. Murphys - Royston and his wife Catriona, had hatched when they purchased Invictus Salute from her breeders Geoff and Mary Grimish back in April. The first part of the plan was to get the mare in foal to Yarrraman Park stallion I Am Invincible, something she achieved at her first attempt earlier this spring. The Murphys and trainer Mark Newnham then knew they had one last shot at getting Invictus Salute a valuable black-type success on her resume, and she duly delivered at Rosehill on Saturday, thanks to a perfect ride from Rachel King, coming off the back of the leader Spaceboy (Deep Field) to win in what will most likely be her final start. Royston admits there was a degree of risk when they decided to purchase Invictus Salute, but things have pretty much progressed perfectly every step of the way since. Royston & Catriona Murphy | TDN AusNZ "It=s a big investment for us to hook into a mare like that. I TDN AUSTRALIA/NEW ZEALAND • PAGE 2 OF 3 • THETDN.COM MONDAY • 30 NOVEMBER 2020

"I was mindful that I wanted to cover her but I also wanted to keep her going. We took her home for a short time, the girls here kept her working out on the hills. She came back from Mark's looking a treat and she then went in foal and started to thrive," he said. "Pregnancy agrees with some of them and not others when racing on. Mark has been telling us how well she has been going and it=s been the same with the jockeys that have been getting on her. They have been saying she has been great in herself." Resuming from a short let-up earlier this month, she was able to win an 1100-metre BM100 H. at Randwick earlier this month before heading back to stakes company. It wasn't always certain it would be the Starlight S. which would be her farewell, but the decision not to send her to Brisbane on Saturday proved the I Am Invincible | Yarraman Park Stud right one. "We got pretty close to the money. Andy Williams was the top "Our main aim was just to win that race. we had her nommed bidder, he loved her too. I said to him yesterday I think one for Brisbane as well. We ummed and ahhed over whether we go more bid he might have had her. Sometimes, it just works out, there, because it looked a little softer as a race, but with the because we are lucky he didn=t go that one more bid." weather being hot and her being in foal, an eight-hour trip was a big thing," he said.

Further measure of the value of the family came when The narrow win, cheered on heartily by the Murphy family, Acqume was sold after initially passing in short of her $900,000 was just about the perfect way for Invictus Salute to finish off reserve at the Magic Millions National Broodmare Sale.

Acquired herself was purchased by Highgrove Stud for "The big thing for us is that she is an absolute queen.

The Week in Review (cont. from p1) Plesa would later take on the role of assistant racing secretary at Calder before opening up his own stable there. Calder is also where he me his wife, Laurie. Over the years, Plesa has learned to accept change, and he knows that Calder is far from the first track to close in an era where it is hard to make a profit operating a racetrack. The hard part, for him, has been watching racing become so impersonal, much less of a sport than it was 1971 and, now, much more a business.

Laurie and Eddie Plesa | Equi-Photo

Calder was purchased in 1999 by Churchill Downs, a company where little else matters but the bottom line. When Churchill opened a casino at Calder in 2010, it needed racing because, without offering some sort of pari-mutuel wagering, it could not have a casino license. So to get out of the racing business in South Florida, Churchill entered into a six-year agreement in 2014 with the Stronach Group (TSG), the owners of Gulfstream. The Stronach Group would take over the racing operation at Calder, which was renamed Gulfstream Park West. Well before the lease expired, Churchill had the Calder grandstand torn down in 2015. Some four years later and with the deal with the Stronach Group about to expire, Churchill made an to the state=s Department of Business and Professional Regulation=s Division of Pari-Mutuel Wagering that any form of pari-mutuel wagering would suffice when it came to the casino license. Churchill announced plans to go forward with a jai alia fronton, which is much less expensive to operate than a racetrack. Both the regulators and the courts signed off on their plan, which sealed Calder=s fate. AChurchill Downs, they=re business oriented,@ Plesa said. ABut to a lot of people, isn=t a business, per se. The owners, they=re not in it to make money.@ Cont. p4 TDN HEADLINE NEWS • PAGE 4 OF 10 • THETDN.COM MONDAY • NOVEMBER 30, 2020

Plesa continued, AThe owners are in it because they enjoy the sport. They don=t want to lose a ton of money but, to them, this is not a business. For Churchill Downs, all that matters is the business aspect. So you have a clashing of cultures, so to speak. Who=s right and who=s wrong? It depends on what side of the fence you are sitting on.@ Sitting on the racing side of the fence, Plesa said Churchill did everything it could to run Calder into the ground. AAbsolutely, there is a lot of anger among the horsemen and it=s all directed at one company, Churchill Downs,@ he said. AFrom my standpoint, they took a viable racetrack that was important, not just to South Florida, but to horse racing as a whole and they had no regard for it. To see what they did, there are many examples I can talk about. There was the time the escalator up to the second floor broke and they never bothered to fix it for the longest period of time. That was part of the plan. They didn=t want to spend any money. When they closed down the floor that housed the Hall of Fame, people asked what did you do with all the pictures and there was no answer. They must have thrown them all away. They stopped maintaining the barn area. They literally tore down the clubhouse and the grandstand. Then Churchill Downs snuck behind everyone=s back and they got a jai alia license so they could extricate themselves from the agreement that brought them a casino in the first place and so that they don=t have to pay the horsemen any money.@ It wasn=t that long ago that South Florida had three racetracks and Calder, Hialeah and Gulfstream were in a never-ending fight for the choicest dates. Now, Gulfstream is all that is left and will go forward in 2021 with the unenviable task of having to operate year-round. It remains to be seen how its turf course will hold up without getting any sort of meaningful break. AThere are some issues that will have to be looked at,@ Plesa said. ACan you race 12 months of the year on one racetrack and on a turf course that is used so frequently? I don=t know. Will there be a little break in between meets? I don=t know. How long of a break would it be? It=s going to be an interesting transition without the two months of racing away from Gulfstream Park.@ After Diligent=s victory, Plesa, who did not attend Saturday=s card, said he heard from about 100 people who reached out to congratulate him on winning the race. Many of them wanted to share their own memories of Calder with him. AIt was something special,@ he said of the many messages he received. AI didn=t think I would get so emotional over something like that. It brought back a lot of memories. That was heartwarming, but it was under sad circumstances. It was almost like someone had passed away.@

The player had the only GIII Jimmy Durante S., and GIII Red Carpet H., and was second in winning ticket on the Pick-5 and included a 75-1 winner on his or the GII Seabiscuit S. her tickets. While those wins may be good news for some high rollers, the sport shouldn=t lose sight of where that money came from. It is the $10 and $20 bettor who is responsible for those pools building up. With so much money often ending up in the hands of a high-volume player, the run-of-the-mill bettor is going broke. Tracks cater to the big players because they wager such huge amounts. But what=s happening is not sustainable. The bettors from places like Elite Turf Club are so dominating the wagering that they are making it that much harder for everyone else to keep their heads above water. The risk is that the big players will cause their competition to go broke, driving them out of the game. Some day, it will just be whales-versus-whale. That=s something the sport can ill afford.
