FASIG-TIPTON CATALOGUES252 FOR SARATOGA SALE

Fasig-Tipton has catalogued 252 selected yearlings for its

Saratoga Sale to be held Aug. 8-9. Sessions will begin each

evening at 6:30 p.m in the Humphrey S. Finney Pavilion. This

year=s catalogue cover features Saratoga=s four 2015 Eclipse

Champion sale graduates.

AWe are thrilled with the catalogue,@ said Fasig-Tipton

President and Chief Executive Officer Boyd Browning, Jr. AIt is a

spectacular group of horses, both on the front cover and the

back cover and everything in between. We=re really proud of it.

We=re proud of this year=s group and we=re proud of our

graduates.

He added, ASaratoga produced four Eclipse Champions in

2015--American Pharoah, Songbird, Stellar Wind, and Tepin--

more than any other individual Thoroughbred auction in the

world. And, not only are these horses great champions, they are

arguably some of the most accomplished racehorses we=ve seen

in some time--a testament to the type of quality our consignors

offer at Saratoga.@

Some potential highlights of this year=s catalogue include hip

122, a War Front filly out of MGISW millionaire and GI Kentucky

Oaks winner Plum Pretty (Medaglia d=Oro); and hip 49, a Tapit

filly out of MGISW Her Smile (Include), one of 13 in the

catalogue for her hugely successful sire. Cont. p3

SOMEWHERE IN (ON?) (NOT NEW) JERSEYBy Bill Finley

When it comes to racing I have always liked the offbeat. When

you=ve seen 25 or so runnings of the GI Mother Goose S. at

Belmont, the Mother Goose just doesn=t do it for you anymore.

So while many of the finest 3-year-old fillies in the country will

be racing at Belmont Park I will be some 3,500 miles away trying

to figure out the card at Les Landes Race Course in Jersey.

Not that Jersey. Not Monmouth Park Jersey or Bruce

Springsteen, Chris Christie, Snooki or traffic circles, but the Isle

of Jersey. It is part of the Channel Islands, a small group of

islands just off the coast of Normandy, France yet part of the

United Kingdom.

Why I am I here? Because different is fun.

Les Landes runs nine meetings a year. There is also one

meeting on another of the Channel Islands, Guernsey. The Les

Landes races will be held Friday and there is a five-race card,

one jumper and four flat races. Cont. p4

Fasig-Tipton Releases Saratoga Catalogue cont.

Hill >n= Dale Sales Agency as agent consigns another potential

headline act in the form of hip 61. The dark bay, foaled on St.

Patrick=s Day 2015, is a Ghostzapper daughter of the talented

Ivanavinalot (West Acre), making her a half-sister to the

aforementioned and still-undefeated Songbird as well as the

dam of GSW Mico Margarita (Run Away and Hide). There will

also be yearlings offered by

Galileo (Ire), Animal Kingdom,

Bernardini, Uncle Mo, the late

Scat Daddy, Pioneerof the Nile,

Medaglia d=Oro, Paynter and

Curlin. Browning Jr. is particularly

impressed with the depth of

quality in terms of the Saratoga

sale=s sire power.

AI think all of us were a little bit

fearful of what was going to

happen and how we were going

to replace the Storm Cats and

the A. P. Indys of the world and

lo and behold, there are new

superstars that emerge,@ he commented. AThe Tapits and in the

form of exciting horses like War Front and Frankel and Uncle Mo

is off to a phenomenal start and we have some really nice

freshman sires. It is kind of an exciting time in the Thoroughbred

industry with significant performers on the racetrack and

significant performers in the breeding shed.@

While the 2015 Saratoga was void of first-crop yearlings by the

irrepressible Frankel, buyers will be able to avail themselves of a

couple of opportunities in 2016. Indian Creek, agent, offers hip

65, a Feb. 28-foaled filly out of MGSW J=ray (Distant View),

making her a half-sister to MSW General Jack (Giant=s

Causeway). Hip 148 is a colt out of champion She Be Wild (Offlee

Wild) from the consignment of Bluewater Sales, as agent. And

after a year=s absence, Galileo offspring--a pair of colts and one

filly--return to Saratoga.

AWe=re really excited about that,@ Browning Jr. said when

asked about the opportunity to bring yearlings by Frankel to the

marketplace. AHis 2-year-olds are off to a fantastic start; he was

a brilliant racehorse and obviously he=s off to a very successful

start as a stallion, so we=re very please to have the opportunity

to have some Frankels this year. We didn=t have any last year,

but it=s just reflective of the growing international nature of our

business.@

And not to be forgotten is the inherent allure of Saratoga.

AThe great thing about Saratoga is if you=re a racing enthusiast-

-whether a racing fan or a breeding fan or a sales fan--there is

almost magical pixie dust in the air,@ he said. AThe quality of

racing is fantastic, the atmosphere around it is so good, you see

multiple generations of families with a Form talking about >who

do you like in the third?= or who=s going to be a really hot sales

sire this year. Saratoga puts a little bounce in everyone=s step,

whether you=re a consignor, buyer, trainer, owner, fan or a

bettor. There=s always a sense of anticipation when you get to

Saratoga and we=re thrilled to be a big part of that.@

The catalogue may now be viewed online. Print catalogues will

be available from all Fasig-Tipton offices beginning July 1.

Racing at Les Landes

Jersey Race Club photo

A World War II battery

on the Isle of Jersey

Bill Finley cont. from p1

I can tell you that the feature race is the one jump race, the

Channel Islands Champion Hurdle, and the winner will receive

,2,380. I also know that Mark Johnson, the track announcer at

Churchill Downs between 2009 and 2013, is the regular caller at

Les Landes. Go figure.

I also googled away and found out that our New Jersey indeed

comes from this Jersey. New Jersey was named by James, Duke

of York (the brother of

King Charles II of

England), who was

given New Jersey by

his brother. James

later gave New Jersey

to Lord John Berkeley

and Sir George

Carteret. James named

the colony New Jersey

to honor Carteret, who

had been the Governor

of Jersey, a British island in the English Channel.

But that=s about all I know. Who are these horses, jockeys,

trainers and where do they come from? Why would a remote

island with just 92,000 residents have a racetrack? Can they

compete on the mainland of the UK or are they hopelessly

outclassed. Are there any past performances? I searched long

and far for that information and could come up with little.

Racing at Les Landes is a mystery, and I hope to have a at least a

few answers tomorrow.

In the meantime, Thursday was spent exploring the island. The

easiest way to get here from the East Coast was to fly to Dublin

and take a puddle jumper

from there. Upon my arrival I

asked the nice man at the

Avis counter for a GPS, which

just as well could have meant

to him a Geothermal

Protective Spaceship. Ok,

strange country, windy roads,

drive on left, no idea where

I=m going...yep...I=ll be fine.

Though I=ve driven in the UK

plenty of times, it still takes

some getting used to and I

was so conscious about staying away from the right-hand side of

the road that I veered too far to the left and scratched up the

driver=s side door. (We=ll be burying that one deep down on the

expense account right under dinner with some trainer the

bosses have never heard of). Cont. p5

Les Landes Race Course on the Isle of Jersey | facebook.com

American Freedom | Horsephotos

Being that these are islands out of the middle of the sea, one

would think the main reason tourists come here is to enjoy the

sunshine and the beaches. If they do, they=re nuts, that is if

Thursday was anything typical of a late June day in Jersey. The

high was 62 Fahrenheit, it was dreary and it drizzled on and off

most of the day. Not a soul could be found on the beach. At my

hotel, a lovely place called La Haule Manor, there is a swimming

pool, but I=m guessing the last time anyone jumped in was 1984

and they were soon afterward whisked off to the hospital with

an acute case of hypothermia.

Apparently, they don=t share their French neighbors= affection

for fine wine. In the first liquor store I went to the shelves were

loaded with three packs of wine selling for a total of ,9. Sorry,

we=ll pass.

I was also surprised to see no signs of the secretive banking

businesses that are part of so many of these islands. Jersey is

supposedly like so many of the rest, a place where the mega-

wealthy go to hide their money to avoid paying taxes. I expected

to see ridiculous mansions and Mitt Romney driving around in a

chauffeur-driven Maserati. I saw nothing of the kind. In fact, I

couldn=t even find a bank and had to hit an ATM at a Shell

station. Maybe I just didn=t know where to look.

I did stumble upon one of the more endearing features of

Jersey. There are plenty of unattended farm stands here where

the owners leave out flowers and

produce and expect the

customers to do the right thing

and leave the appropriate

amount of money in a box. I paid

,2 for some flowers.

So, tomorrow will be the races

at a place everyone says is quaint

and picturesque, as it sits right

on top of the sea. The first race

goes off at 6:30 p.m. and it=s a seven-furlong handicap. Thirteen

are entered, including two from the stable of Alyson Malzard

(the Linda Rice of the Isle of Jersey?) and two from the barn of

Angie Corson. I believe there=s a Pick Four on the card and I=m

hearing that Rossetti is the Arkle of Channel Islands steeplechase

racing and is lock city. Other than that, I haven=t got a clue. Tips?

Expert opinions on racing at Les Landes? Send them my way or

come meet me at the track. I=ll be the guy wearing a parka.

IOWA DERBY A USEFUL TEST FOR

AMERICAN FREEDOM by Ben Massam

The buzz about Gary and Mary West=s American Freedom

(Pulpit) has been present since his debut, and the bay has an

opportunity to take

the next step towards

delivering on his

seemingly massive

potential with a try in

the GIII Iowa Derby at

Prairie Meadows

Friday night. American

Freedom has been

installed as the 5-2

morning line second

choice behind recent

GIII Matt Winn S. third

Texas Chrome (Grasshopper), but it seems likely that he will go

postward as a heavy favorite.

Acquired for $500,000 as a Keeneland September yearling,

American Freedom turned some heads with a convincing debut

score going seven furlongs at Santa Anita Apr. 9, and trainer Bob

Baffert fueled the hype with ensuing talk that the colt could be a

contender for the GI Haskell Invitational at Monmouth Park in

late July. Cont. p6

Iowa Derby cont.

He subsequently disappointed when sixth as the 7-5 favorite in

Churchill=s GIII Pat Day Mile May 7, but recently bounced back

with a gritty one-length victory in the listed Sir Barton S. at

Pimlico May 21--an effort that was flattered when fourth-place

finisher Donegal Moon (Malibu Moon) came back to win the

GIII Pegasus S. June 19.

American Freedom returned to California following that effort

and has registered three consecutive six-furlong drills at Santa

Anita. Baffert has won the Iowa Derby three times previously,

most recently with Prayer for Relief (Jump Start) in 2011.

American Freedom=s sternest test could come from Texas

Chrome, who chased GI Kentucky Derby third-place finisher Gun

Runner (Candy Ride {Arg}) home to complete the trifecta in the

June 18 Matt Winn. The Texas-bred, a four-time stakes winner,

has only finished off the board once in nine starts.

Trainer Donnie Von Hemel sends out the impeccably bred

Synchrony (Tapit) off a two-month layoff. The chestnut, third in

both the Jan. 18 Smarty Jones S. and the Apr. 16 GIII Lexington

S., tends to lag in the

early stages and

figures to need a lively

pace up front to

deliver his best effort.

A son of GSW & GISP

Brownie Points (Forest

Wildcat)--who won the

Iowa Distaff S. here in

2007--he adds blinkers

for this try and has the

benefit of two local workouts in the past month.

Ramsey Farm homebred Hint of Roses (Tapit) was entered for

the May 7 GI Kentucky Derby as a maiden on the also-eligible

list, and although he did not draw in to that prestigious event,

he recently broke his maiden over 10 furlongs at Churchill

Downs May 30. Cutting back to 1 1/16 miles for Friday night=s

test, the Mike Maker trainee figures to do his best running late

with jockey Florent Geroux aboard.

Michael J. Bruder=s Lookin for a Kiss (Lookin At Lucky) is the

only other entrant in the Iowa Derby with previous experience

at the graded stakes level, having finished seventh after

contesting a hot pace in the GI Toyota Blue Grass S. Apr. 9 and

an even fifth--just ahead of American Freedom--in the Pat Day

Mile. The chestnut has worked steadily at Churchill Downs in

recent weeks and could make use of his early speed from the

inside post position.

Family Tree made four starts at two for this barn, winning her

maiden over six furlongs at Kentucky Downs on debut, then

adding third placings on the main track in Churchill=s Rags to

Riches S. in November and again in the Trapeze S. at Remington

Park Dec. 13. Turned over to Bob Baffert for the first part of her

3-year-old campaign, the $225,000 Keeneland September

purchase finished two lengths adrift of Thrilled (Uncle Mo) in

Sunland=s Plum Pretty S. Mar. 20 prior to a comfortable

allowance victory back beneath the Twin Spires on the Kentucky

Oaks undercard May 6. The chestnut was 3-5 when squaring off

last time with Ready to Confess in Lousville, but could not resist

the latter=s late surge and settled for second.

Drawn widest in a field reduced to 10 by the scratch of

Thursday Santa Anita allowance winner Emmzy (Eskendereya),

Family Tree, back with Catalano for this, raced widest into the

clubhouse turn and secured a stalking spot from third as

Marquee Miss (Cowboy Cal) set the pace just to the outside of

8-5 favorite Thrilled, a rare Prairie Meadows runner for the

almighty Todd Pletcher barn. Given her cue three deep on the

second bend by Florent Geroux, Family Tree edged up to take

command just about the same time that Thrilled was calling it a

day at the rail. Family Tree cornered for home narrowly in front

and although Ready to Confess (More Than Ready)--who

defeated Family Tree in a Churchill allowance May 28--took a

run at her to the outside in the final furlong, Family Tree dug in

and was edging away late.

Pedigree Notes:

The winner=s stakes-winning dam, herself a daughter of six-

time GSW and three-time GISP Gold Mover (Gold Fever), was

purchased by Dell Ridge Farm for $350,000 carrying her first foal

by Quality Road out of the Ned Evans dispersal at the 2011

Keeneland November sale. Giant Mover is the dam of the

2-year-old filly Clearly Claire (Candy Ride {Arg}), a $220,000

KEESEP yearling, and foaled another filly by that Lane=s End

stallion Mar. 21. This is also the further female family of Grade I

winner Dance Teacher (Smarten), GSW Fiesty Countess (Count

the Time) and MGISP Casanova Move (Langfuhr). Click for the

Angel Cordero, Jr.

NYRA Photo

PUERTO RICO=S YOUNG GUNS TAKING OVERby Joe Bianca

Take a look at the top of the current Belmont Park

spring/summer meeting jockey standings and you=ll quickly

recognize a few common threads. For one, Jose Ortiz (63 wins),

Irad Ortiz, Jr. (43) and Manny Franco (43) are all under 24 years

old. More importantly to Angel Cordero, Jr. though, they=re all

natives of Puerto Rico.

Cordero was a pioneer for Puerto Rican

jockeys in the United States at a time when the

vast majority of riders were either native-born

or hailed from South America. He won over

7,000 races, was the first jockey from the

island commonwealth to capture all three

jewels of the Triple Crown and, in 1988,

became the first Puerto Rican to be elected to

racing=s Hall of Fame. 24 years later, then a

jockey=s agent, Cordero watched with pride as

his longtime student, friend and client, Puerto

Rican pilot John Velazquez, was enshrined.

Now 73, Cordero has a new reason to be

proud of the trail he blazed, as the Ortiz

brothers, Franco and 19-year-old Eric Cancel

have begun to usher in an era of success for

Puerto Rican jockeys unlike anything racing has

ever seen.

AThose four guys are the future of racing,@

Cordero predicted. ATwo to three years from now, they=ll be the

ones at the top. There ain=t no doubt about it. They=re the most

talented, the youngest, and the ones who want it the most.@

Irad, the elder Ortiz, came stateside as an 18-year-old in 2011

and settled in New York, finding some success early on as an

apprentice. The following summer at Saratoga, he celebrated a

signature win when his mount Questing (Hard Spun) dominated

the GI Alabama S. by nine lengths. Not looking back since, he has

already found the winner=s circle 1,262 times in his nascent

career en-route to over $80 million in purse money earned.

Jose, one year younger, joined Irad in the States in 2012 and

won with his first mount aboard a gelding named Corofin (Flashy

Bull) at Aqueduct that March. Somewhat overshadowed by

Irad=s success for most of four years, he is enjoying a breakout

season, having already captured both Aqueduct riding titles, as

well as 11 graded stakes, equal to his total from all of last year.

Franco, 21, is also having his best campaign since arriving in

New York in 2013 and has eclipsed his win total from last year=s

Belmont spring/summer meet by 18 victories with several

weeks still to go. Cancel is going through a bit of a sophomore

slump, but was far and away New York=s leading apprentice

rider in 2015.

AThey were like when you train horses and you get a nice

2-year-old,@ Cordero said, Athen you get another one, and

another one. They all came back-to-back. I=m very happy and

very proud of them. To come to the big circle and hit it big that

quick, not too many people can do that.@

All four riders are graduates of the Escuela Vocacional Hipica,

Puerto Rico=s state-run jockey academy. The school teaches a

soup-to-nuts approach to horsemanship that Cordero says is key

to the young riders= development.

AIt helps them know how to deal with the

horses in every aspect,@ Cordero explained. AAs a

groom, as a hotwalker, as a jockey. They learn to

love the animal and to know the sacrifice that it

takes for a horse to get to a race.@

At the same time, there=s no teacher like

experience, and getting thrown into the fire

riding against some of the top jockeys in the

world in New York is what Cordero says

ultimately forges greatness.

AWhat they=ve got in themselves now, the

talent mixed with the knowledge, they got that

over here in the United States,@ he explained.

AThere=s no school or anything, they just got it

from riding against the best riders in America.

They came into the major leagues straight from

college.@

Once a father figure to Velazquez, Cordero has

now seen Velazquez turn around and fill the same role for the

new wave of Puerto Rican riders, something he says is both

indispensable and unbeknownst to most people.

AJohnny=s like an idol to them,@ Cordero says. AHe=s not only a

great rider, but he=s such a good friend that he welcomes them

and helps them out a lot. Whatever they need, he=ll get it. He=s

not one of those guys who does something and everybody

knows about it. He=s very quiet, never says anything to anybody.

I only know because the guys will come and say >Johnny bought

me a saddle,= >Johnny got me a pair of boots= or >Johnny got me

a helmet.= He=s like a hero to these kids. To be able to compete

with him and be able to be his friend, it means a lot to them.@

Natural talent, schooling, competition and the positive

influence of mentors have proven to be a potent combination

for this group of ascending stars. But there=s one more thing

they have in common: a love for their home.

AThey visit Puerto Rico a lot,@ Cordero related. AOn their days

off, they say >I don=t want to ride anywhere else, I=m going to

Puerto Rico.= They like that.@

bit headstrong while trailing the field after getting pinched at

the start. Still with plenty to do while chasing the field of seven

through a half mile in :44.92, Roca Rojo began to roll while

widest of all on the turn for home and exploded down the

center of the course in the stretch to win going away by 2 1/4

Turf Course Installation Complete at Santa Anita:

The installation of approximately nine acres of turf has been

completed at Santa Anita Park in Arcadia, California, and is

expected to be ready in time for the fall meeting beginning Sept.

30. Santa Anita is the

host site for this year=s

Breeders= Cup Nov. 4

and 5.

AThis has been a

major undertaking and

we=re very pleased

with how the entire

project has

progressed,@ said Joe

Morris, Senior Vice

President, West Coast

Operations for The Stronach Group. AThe hillside portion of the

course was completed about three weeks ago and the oval was

finished late yesterday. This particular turf has proven very

resilient in our immediate area and right now, with the warm

temperatures we=ve been experiencing, conditions are optimal

for fast growth.

Morris continued, AThe hillside has already begun to root, so

that=s great news. About 40% of our races are run on grass, so

this project is obviously a huge priority for us, our customers

and horsemen. We=ve been told that we=d be able to run on it in

45 days, but with the installation completed on time, we=ll have

90 days before we have horses competing on it. We=re excited

about opening day on Sept. 30 and we=re looking forward to

welcoming the best horses in the world here for the Breeders=

Cup.@

The new grass, a mixture of Bermuda-Bandera, was grown in

La Quinta, about 120 miles east of Santa Anita, near Palm

SUMMER STAKES TARGETSFOR JUDDMONTE RUNNERS

Khalid Abdullah homebred Fair Eva (GB) (Frankel {GB}), who

became Juddmonte=s first runner and winner by its peerless

homebred Frankel when taking a Haydock maiden by four

lengths June 8, has a few potential black-type options ahead of

her, revealed Racing Manager Teddy Grimthorpe when issuing

an update on a handful of the stable=s runners on Thursday.

The chestnut daughter of Group 1-winning sprinter African

Rose (GB) (Observatory) had been considered for novice races at

Newbury and Haydock this week, but Grimthorpe said she could

instead go up in class later in the month.

"[Trainer] Roger [Charlton] is very pleased with her and she's

come on since the race [at Haydock],@ he noted. "I think we're

just going to pick and choose where we go. She has various

options. She could go for a novice race, but if not there is

something like the [Listed] Star S. at Sandown [July 21], the [G3]

Princess Margaret at Ascot [July 23]--that sort of thing."

Grimthorpe told At The Races one-time G1 Investec Derby

favourite Midterm (GB) (Galileo {Ire}), who didn=t contest the

blue riband after finishing a disappointing fifth as the favourite

in the G2 Dante S. May 12--could return to action in the Aug. 17

G2 Great Voltigeur S. at York. Cont. p2

>TYCOON= NOMS AUCTION CONCLUDES Five nominations to fully booked breakout sire Written Tycoon(Aus) (Iglesia {Aus}) were recently auctioned via Inglis=s onlinebidding platform over five weeks, realizing up to 22% higherthan his advertised A$49,500 stud fee. Written Tycoon, who stands at Woodside Park Stud in Victoria,has sired three Group 1 winners this year, headed by G1 GoldenSlipper winner and >TDN Rising Star= Capitalist (Aus). He sitsthird behind Street Cry (Ire) and Not A Single Doubt (Aus) on thegeneral sire table and is Australasia=s current leading 2-year-oldsire. The first nomination was bought by agent Neil Jenkinson forA$56,500 on behalf of Glenlogan Park, which will stand WrittenTycoon=s son Rich Enuff (Aus) this year. AWe have been a big supporter and fan of Written Tycoon forsome time, which is why we had to buy into Rich Enuff and whywe had to secure a nomination for this year,@ said GlenloganPark=s General Manager Steve Morley.

Summer Stakes Targets For Juddmonte Runners cont. from p1

"Midterm is back cantering this week,@ Grimthorpe said of the

son of six-time Grade/Group 1 winner Midday (GB) (Oasis

Dream {GB}). AI saw him a couple of days ago and he's in really

good form. The Great Voltigeur could be a target. I think it might

be a bit premature, but you never know.@

Grimthorpe said Khalid Abdullah=s Midweek (GB) (Motivator

{GB}), under the care of Criquette Head-Maarek in France, looks

likely to drop back in

class next week, having

last been seen

finishing eighth in the

G1 Investec Oaks May

1.

"Midweek is coming

back and will run in a

listed race next week, I

think,@ he said. "We're

still hopeful she's going

to turn into a decent filly."

The Sir Michael Stoute-trained Exosphere (GB) (Beat Hollow

{GB}) was a disappointing eighth of nine in Royal Ascot=s

G2 Hardwicke S. after coming home an impressive winner of the

G2 Jockey Club S. Apr. 30, and Grimthorpe said no excuses had

surfaced.

"We don't know what happened to Exosphere,@ he said.

ANothing came out of it, he scoped fine and was sound out of

the race. He will probably head for the [G2] Princess of Wales's

[at Newmarket July 7].@

VOLTIGEUR OPTION FOR ULYSSES Flaxman Stables homebred Ulysses (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}), 12th in

the G1 Investec Derby after breaking his maiden impressively in

May, could bid for redemption in the G2 Great Voltigeur S. at

York Aug. 17.

"The horse is doing well,@ said Flaxman Racing Manager Alan

Cooper. "We've given him an entry in the Great Voltigeur and

will give him plenty of time to get over the Derby. [Trainer] Sir

Michael [Stoute] will decide nearer the time if that is the right

race for him.@

Cooper was offering up no excuses for the son of Oaks winner

Light Shift (Kingmambo)=s Derby effort. "He got a bump in the

Derby, but the Derby is the Derby, we're not going to make any

excuses and we'll go forward from here,@ he said. "We haven't

discussed the [G1] St Leger; we'll just take it one race at a time.

We need to get him back on track."

WELD COULD APPEAL FINE Trainer Dermot Weld told Racing Post he may appeal the

i1,000 fine he received after a filly under his care, Va Pensiero

(Ire) (High Chaparral {Ire}), tested positive for a local

anaesthetic--a metabolite of Lidocaine--after winning a rated

race at Dundalk May 13.

Weld said at a hearing Wednesday that he had never given, or

ordered to be given,

the 3-year-old

Moyglare Stud

homebred any

medication.

"I'm completely

baffled by the whole

business and I'm

seriously considering

appealing the fine.

That's all I have to

say on the matter," Weld told Racing Post.

Dr. Thomas Barragry noted at the hearing that the levels of

medication in Va Pensiero=s system were very high. Weld=s

veterinarian, Joe O=Donnell, said the filly had never been

administered any medication. Turf Club veterinary officer

Andrew Tyrrell testified that Weld meticulously maintained his

medications record and there was no record of any horses

under his care receiving Lidocaine.

Va Pensiero was disqualified from her win.

from Kamra (Stay Thirsty). On this evidence, Nobly Born, who

becomes the seventh winner for his first-season sire (by

JEU CELEBRE (IRE) (c, 2, Excelebration {Ire}--Jeu de Vivre {Ire},

by Montjeu {Ire}), fourth on debut over five furlongs at

Bordeaux-le-Bouscat May 23, started as the 2-1 favourite and

broke well to cross over from his wide stall and gain the early

lead. Pressed by Fankairos Ranger (US Ranger) from the quarter

pole, the i105,000 ARQAUG yearling asserted to win by 1 1/2

lengths. Jeu Celebre, who becomes the third winner for his

first-season sire (by Exceed and Excel {Aus}), is a grandson of a

full-sister to the G1 Criterium de Saint-Cloud-winning sire

Special Quest (Fr) and a half to the G2 Criterium de

Maisons-Laffitte-winning highweight Moiava (Fr) (Bering {GB}).

The third dam Mona Stella (Nureyev) was successful in the

G2 Prix de l=Opera and is a half to Dancing Maid (Fr) (Lyphard),

heroine of the G1 Poule d=Essai des Pouliches and G1 Prix

Vermeille and placed in the G1 Epsom Oaks and G1 Prix de l=Arc

de Triomphe. Lifetime Record: 2 starts, 1 win, 1 place, i10,200.

CHARLY NOVA (FR) (f, 2, Myboycharlie {Ire}--Terra Nova {Fr},

by American Post {GB}), a i100,000 ARQAUG yearling, was

third on debut over six furlongs here June 9 and had her head

poked in front initially before taking a lead from three rivals.

Franck Blondel had a look behind as he committed the strong-

traveling 6-5 favourite with just over 300 metres remaining, and

she quickly settled the issue en route to a comfortable two-

length success from Mademoiselle Marie (Fr) (Evasive {GB}). The

dam is a half-sister to two black-type scorers, with the more

prominent being America Nova (Fr) (Verglas {Ire}), whose

progeny include the G2 Expressway S. and G3 Doncaster Prelude

winner Weary (Fr) (Astronomer Royal), formerly known as Sir

Patrick Moore, who was also runner-up in the G1 Doomben Cup

and G1 All Aged S., and the GIII Athenia S. and G3 Prix des

Reservoirs scorer Stellar Path (Fr), also by Astronomer Royal.

She has a yearling filly by Tin Horse (Ire) named Tina Nova (Fr).

JUMPERS HEAD SUMMER SALE SESSION Arqana's mixed Summer Sale enjoyed a bumper year back in

2014, when the subsequent GI Woodbine Mile winner

Mondialiste (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) was offered by the Wertheimer

brothers and sold privately for i190,000. The clearance rate,

and consequently turnover, fell markedly last July but the first of

two days of trade at this year's event provided an increased

average of i26,198 (+11.5%), while the median also rose to

i16,000, from i15,000. An 11% rise in clearance to 69% led to

an 8% boost in the aggregate, which stood at i2,530,000 for 96

horses sold.

In this session

of breeze-up

horses for the

Flat and young

store horses, it

was the jumping

sector which

monopolised

the top of the

market, with

Haras de la

Source's 2-year-old son of Walk In The Park (Ire) leading the way

when bought by Willie Browne for i150,000.

Runner-up to fellow Montjeu (Ire) stallion Motivator (GB) in

the 2005 Derby, Walk In The Park has become a hot property in

the National Hunt division in recent seasons. From covering

relatively small books at the French farms of Haras du Val

Requet and Haras des Granges, he has sired some highly exciting

young jumpers, including the Willie Mullins-trained duo of

seven-time Grade 1 winner Douvan (Fr) and Min (Fr). He was

switched to stand on Coolmore's National Hunt roster at Grange

Stud for 2016.

Walk In The Park's session-topping gelding, named Roll Again

(Fr) (lot 125), is a son of the dual jumps winner Olina (Fr)

(Dounba), whose first foal is the Grade III-winning chaser

Argentique (Fr) (Saint Des Saints {Fr}). Browne commented,

"This horse is a real rarity on the market. He was expensive but

this is what you have to pay for such good-looking horses. He

will be re-offered next year."

English jumps owner James Douglas-Gordon lost the highly

talented young hurdler Bonito Du Berlais (Fr) (Trempolino) in a

paddock accident last month, but reinvested in French stock on

Thursday when instructing agent Bertrand Le Metayer to go to

i145,000 to secure a Saints Des Saints 2-year-old (lot 87) from

the Haras du Buff draft. The youngster is the third foal of En La

Cruz (Fr), a Robin Des Champs (Fr) half-sister to the top-class

chaser Voy Por Ustedes (Fr) (Villez {Fr}).

"It is unfortunately a sad story with the recent passing of

Bonito du Berlais," said Le Metayer. "This horse reminds me a

lot of him. He has the same profile and offers similar potential

on conformation as well as pedigree. I bought his dam on two

occasions and she was a sound, tough racemare. I knew the

mating with Saint Des Saints would work. We will keep the horse

in France."

In total, four store horses broke the six-figure barrier, including

lot 131, named Duc De Beauchene (Fr), a 3-year-old AQPS

gelding by the recently deceased Saddler Maker (Ire), who was

bought by Hubert Barbe for i145,000. Jehan Bertran de

Balanda will train the Jacques Cypres-bred El Salvator (Fr)

(Network {Ger}) (lot 132), who made i120,000.

The Haras de la Cauviniere freshman Rajsaman (Fr) has had

four first-crop winners to date and his colt out of the

listed-placed Platini (Ger) mare Macina (Ire) was the

highest-priced breezer of the day when knocked down to Sylvain

Vidal for i69,000. Powerstown Stud bought the March-born

colt at Arqana last August for i30,000 and reoffered the

half-brother to Washington Singer S. runner-up Practitioner (GB)

(Dr Fong) (now a three-time winner in Hong Kong under the

name Fat Choy Oohlala) as lot 27. The colt will be trained in

Chantilly by Alessandro Botti.

The sole Frankel (GB) juvenile in the catalogue (lot 12) was

offered by Mocklershill and bought by Armando Duarte for

i42,000. Cont. p7

Jumpers Head Summer Sales Session Cont.

A granddaughter of the dual Classic winner Imagine (Ire)

(Sadler's Wells), the filly's dam Guessing (Kingmambo) is a

half-sister to the group winners Horatio Nelson (Ire) (Danehill),

Viscount Nelson (Ire) (Giant's Causeway) and Kitty Matcham

(Ire) (Rock Of Gibraltar {Ire}).

The Summer Sale continues today in Deauville with another

mixed session of fillies, mares and stallion prospects from 11

a.m. local time.

>Tycoon= Noms Auction Concludes Cont. from p1

The second nomination went the way of Nicole Agent for the

Victorian-based Three Fillies Lodge for A$60,000. Agent said,

AWe recently purchased a lovely young mare off the track and

wanted to give her the best possible chance to succeed as a

broodmare as well, so

we are delighted we

are now able to send

her to one of the best

proven stallions in

Australia.@

The third, and most

expensive, nomination

was bought for

A$60,500 by Balance

Thoroughbreds, a

boutique New South Wales breeder that had been underbidder

on the first two nominations. The fourth was secured by another

New South Wales breeder, Angela Haynes, for A$59,500, while

Iranian-based agent Hamid Nikoumanesh had the winning bid

on the final nomination at A$53,500.

AHamid had contacted me a number of times from Iran about

Written Tycoon just after we had to close his book,@ said

Woodside Park=s Matt Tillett. AThe Everyday Auction platform

worked perfectly as it provided Hamid a means of securing him

the nomination he wanted.@

Tillett added, AThe best thing that we achieved from the

exercise, however, was the exposure to a new range of clients,

as only one of the five successful bidders was a previous client of

ours. We are delighted that the five online nominations

averaged A$58,000, because it proves to us that the market

truly values our stallion as highly as we do.@

PURSE INCREASES TAKE EFFECT Increases in minimum prize money for Sydney=s country TAB

and provincial meetings announced last November after

wagering tax parity legislation was passed in New South Wales

will take effect from July 1. Minimum prize money for both

levels will increase A$5,000, meaning minimum purses of

A$27,000 per race for provincial races (up 23%) and A$20,000

for country races (up 33%).

AThese increases are part of a package of more than A$21

million in prize money increases for country TAB and provincial

races,@ said Racing NSW Chief Executive Peter V=landys. AThe

prize money increases coincide with the second year of the

phase-in of wagering parity. These increases would not have

been possible without the Baird Government=s reduction in

state wagering taxes to bring us in line with Victoria over the

next five years. We particularly thank Troy Grant for his

leadership on this matter.@

Racing NSW will also stage 15 Country Showcase meetings

over the next year, which will boast a minimum purse of

A$30,000 per race.

AThe Showcase meetings provide excellent opportunities to

focus greater attention on some of NSW=s emerging country cup

meetings,@ said V=landys. AIncreases to minimum prize money

and Country Showcase meetings come on top of the highly

successful expansion of The Championships to include

country and provincial racing and the implementation of

Highway races at most metropolitan Saturday meetings.@

In other news for Sydney racing stakeholders, Racing NSW and

the Australian Turf Club announced Thursday that nomination

and acceptance fees would be eliminated for listed races at ATC

tracks from Aug. 1. Cont. p8
