FRIDAY, OCTOBER 25, 2019 FASIG-TIPTON OCTOBER AT 252 MARES BRED, JUSTIFY, MENDELSSOHN LEAD THE WAY FINISHES STRONG by T.D. Thornton Two sons of Scat Daddy--Justify and Mendelssohn--each covered 252 mares while standing their first seasons at Coolmore America=s Ashford Stud this year, knocking Spendthrift Farm=s Into Mischief (Harlan=s Holiday), who bred 241 mares, off his two-year reign as North America=s top-covering stallion. Coolmore=s Uncle Mo (Indian Charlie) also covered 241 mares. Back in 2016, Uncle Mo led the continent with 253 mares bred. These statistics are based on 2019 reports of mares bred in North America (RMB) that were released Thursday by The Jockey Club (TJC).

Over the four-day auction, 1008 transactions were recorded for gross receipts of $38,258,900. The cumulative average was $37,955, bettering the previous record of $36,507 set in 2017 and besting last year=s mark of $35,576 by 6.7%. The median was $13,000, a dip of 13.3% from 12 months ago. The RNA rate was 24.5%--it was 22.7% last year. The gross was also a record, but to be expected given this was the largest catalogue in October sale history. AIt was an outstanding week with solid, consistent trade from beginning to end,@ said Fasig-Tipton President and CEO Boyd Browning, Jr. AIt=s kind of a testament to our industry that we=ve been selling yearlings for over three months and still, there=s quite a bit of demand for many of the horses, but not all the horses, as we know and understand. Coming into the sale, realistically, we would=ve said, >We hope we can be similar to last year=s levels.= To exceed those levels is, frankly, really encouraging and I think it=s an indication of an increase in the quality of horses being brought to this sale by the consignors. And the buyers are sure here willing to support the consignors, and us, by bidding on those horses...@ Cont. p3 onceinabluemoon.horse PUBLISHER & CEO Sue Morris Finley @suefinley [email protected] V.P., INTERNATIONAL OPERATIONS Gary King @garykingTDN [email protected] EDITORIAL [email protected] Editor-in-Chief Jessica Martini @JessMartiniTDN Managing Editor Friday, October 25, 2019 Alan Carasso @EquinealTDN Senior Editor Steve Sherack @SteveSherackTDN Racing Editor Brian DiDonato @BDiDonatoTDN News and Features Editor Ben Massam @BMassamTDN Associate Editors Christie DeBernardis @CDeBernardisTDN Joe Bianca @JBiancaTDN ADVERTISING [email protected] Director of Advertising Alycia Borer Advertising Manager Lia Best Advertising Designer Amanda Crelin Advertising Assistants Alexa Reisfield Amie Morosco Advertising Assistant/Dir.

At the end of the day, we were well supported by consignors with more horses than we=ve ever had, and I think the best quality we=ve ever had. @ Thursday=s fourth and final session saw 268 head change hands for $10,681,700 at an average of $39,857--the highest it had been all week. The median was $13,500. The RNA rate was 19.3% as sellers looked to move along what they could and buyers tried to fill their quotas last minute. The sale and session topper was hip 1503, a $560,000 Candy Ride (Arg) colt consigned by Reiley McDonald=s Eaton Sales and purchased by Carlo Vaccarezza with the intention to resell him at next year=s Fasig-Tipton Gulfstream sale. AWe=re actually having the best day today that we=ve had the whole week,@ Taylor Made Sales Agency=s Mark Taylor said mid- session Thursday. AThe thing about this sale is that it=s not catalogued by quality [like Keeneland September]... Here, it=s a total wildcard where you might get all the better horses landing on the fourth day of the sale--you don=t know what=s going to happen. I think the market is just like it has been. In this sale, you=re always going to get a higher percentage of horses who don=t vet because sometimes that=s why they=re here. They didn=t get sold at a previous sale because they didn=t vet, and now they=re here and they still don=t vet. Now, whether that=s going to have any effect on them running, probably not, but in the veterinary community=s mind, there=s something wrong with them. So, you=re always going to get a little higher percentage of horses that you=re just up against it with right from the beginning because the vet sheet looks bad. However, it=s the last stop on the calendar, so sellers usually get a little more realistic with their reserves unless they don=t mind going to the races or the 2-year-old sales. It=s a hard sale to handicap, but I think the market=s just the same--quality=s selling, but with everything else, you have to be very careful.@ Action returns to Fasig-Tipton=s Newtown Paddocks Nov. 5 for the star-studded November sale of breeding stock. © Copyright Thoroughbred Daily News.

TDN HEADLINE NEWS • PAGE 4 OF 20 • THETDN.COM FRIDAY • OCTOBER 25, 2019 Good End Result for Candy Ride Colt Carlo Vaccarezza | Fasig-Tipton Thursday=s sale and session-topping Candy Ride (Arg) colt (hip 1503) has had an eventful few months. He appeared to be seriously injured in a paddock accident on breeder Gail Peyton=s Forging Oaks Farm in Lexington, but his superficial wounds healed up and he went on to bring $560,000 from Carlo Vaccarezza. He was originally slated to be sold at the Fasig-Tipton Saratoga sale. AA week before Saratoga, 2:30 a.m. in the morning, the neighbor=s five cattle got loose and ran through the farm,@ explained consignor Reiley McDonald of Eaton Sales. A[The cattle] ran this colt and another one through their paddock fences, this colt hit a pole. He had a really nasty cut, but it didn=t involve the muscle or any nerves. It=s just a very bad blemish. It goes to prove how many good horsemen are here that are willing to look past a blemish and kick on and buy a horse. They think, >Who cares? If he runs, I don=t care.=@ The Feb. 18 foal was purchased in utero for $475,000 at the 2017 Keeneland November sale. Out of the winning dam Vanquished (Empire Maker), he is a half-brother to MGSW Takeover Target (Harlan=s Holiday). The topper is out of a half- sister to MGISW Critical Eye (Dynaformer). AIt was a nice sale,@ McDonald said. AMrs. Peyton has a nice broodmare band of 15 mares. I=m just very happy for her. We thought he would be unsellable for awhile when he first did it. To look at it, those injuries looked so awful, and then they somehow cleaned up. From her to go from, >Wow, we have nothing here= to >Yes, he=s still a top horse and we still own the mare and the value=s still there.= It=s a very good thing for a woman who=s put so much into the game.@ He added, ANeedless to say, the cattle have been moved.@ Vanquished produced an Into Mischief filly Mar.
