‘RISING STAR’ MAKES‘GOOD’ IN SHAM

China Horse Club and WinStar’s Life is Good (Into Mischief)

lived up to his dazzling, ‘TDN Rising Star’-worthy debut with a

good-looking score in Saturday’s GIII Sham S. at Santa Anita.

Romping by 9 1/2 lengths in his 6 1/2-panel unveiling at Del Mar

Nov. 22, he fired a pair of bullet works in the interim and was

hammered down to 1-5 favoritism to repeat in this first try at

two turns.

Not off to the fastest start from the outside post in this five-

horse affair, the $525,000 KEESEP purchase seized the early

advantage and galloped along on a clear lead, clocking a 23.56

first quarter and :46.67 half-mile. Turning for home alone, Life is

Good was still going along at an easy gallop into the final

sixteenth of a mile, but Mike Smith was forced to get busy

thereafter as stablemate Medina Spirit (Protonico) closed the

gap to 3/4 of a length at the wire.

“He’s a good horse and I could tell that Mike was just cruising

out there,” Hall of Famer Bob Baffert said. “It reminded me a lot

of Authentic (Into Mischief) last year, when he did the same

thing, he looked like a drunk out there coming down, he almost

hit the rail and stuff. Just to get the two turns out of the way, it’s

big. I always feel that the second race is most important, you’re

going up against winners. I think Mike did a great job just sort of

cruising around there and it was just the kind of race we were

looking for. They ran pretty fast, these are two good horses. It is

so exciting he passed the two turn test.”

WINSTAR STABLEMATES OFF TO A FLYING

START IN 2021 by Bill Finley Coming off a banner year in which its fillies finished one-two in

the GI Coaching Club American Oaks, WinStar Stablemates

Racing burst out of the starting gate in 2021 going two-for-two

on Friday. The victories included a win by Gulf Coast (Union

Rags) in the Cash Run S. at Gulfstream.

"It's nice to get of to such a great start and we are very excited

for 2021," said WinStar CEO and President Elliott Walden. "To

be two-for-two is great for our owners."

The WinStar racing partnership is an offshoot of WinStar

Stablemates, a club formed in 2011 that allowed members

inside access to all things WinStar. Hoping to attract new owners

into the business, WinStar branched out and started WinStar

Stablemates Racing in 2018. The stable won with its first ever

starter, capturing the 2018 Wayward Lass S. at Tampa Bay

Downs with Well Humored (Distorted Humor). All of the

Stablemates horses are fillies. Cont. p7

Anothertwistafate kicked off 2021 on a winning note, capturing the GII San Gabriel S. Adding blinkers for this event, the 5-2 shot was quite eager early, tugging his way up to stalk from second through a :23.02 first quarter and :46.95 half-

mile. Drawing even with the leader as three-quarters went in1:11.62, the dark bay charged clear in the lane for an authoritative victory.

AThe first half mile, he was a little rank, then Joel [Rosario] got

him to settle,@ said trainer Peter Miller. AJoel recommended the

blinkers after his last race. He made the lead and was gawking

around. We wanted him to have a target [today]. This is my

first win for Mr. Redekop. It=s a nice way to do it, in a Grade II,

$200,000. We=ll look at the Pegasus, both the turf and the dirt.

The dirt is more money, but obviously, there=s tougher horses in

there.@

San Gabriel cont.

Fading to 10th in the 2019 GI Preakness S., the dark bay was subsequently shelved and was not seen again for 16 months when he returned with a decisive score in the GIII Longacres Mile H. Sept. 10. Transferred from Blaine Wright to Peter Miller, Anothertwistafate checked in fourth when making his turf debut in Del Mar=s GII Seabiscuit H. Nov. 28.

Pedigree Notes:

Anothertwistafate is one of 133 black-type winners worldwide

and 79 graded winners worldwide for the late Scat Daddy. His

second dam Media Nox (GB) (Lycius) was a graded winner in

both America and Europe. She was also successful in the

breeding shed, producing the likes of MG1SW Nebraska Tornado

(Storm Cat); GSW & G1SP Mirabilis (Lear Fan); and GSW Burning

Sun (Danzig). The winner=s dam Imprecation is also responsible

for the now-3-year-old Cease and Desist (Into Mischief), a

$410,000 KEESEP buy, and a now-juvenile filly by Dialed In. She

was bred to Uncle Mo last spring.

WinStar Stablemates cont. from p1

The partners don't actually own the horses. Instead, they lease

them for racing purposes for the year. At the end of the year,

the fillies will either join the WinStar broodmare band, return to

WinStar's regular stable or be part of the next year's

Stablemates stable.

There are 100 slots available and Walden said about 40 have

already been sold for this year. Cont. p7

Paris Lights & Crystal Ball in the stretch of the CCA Oaks | Coglianese

WinStar Stablemates cont.

The members share in the ownership of all the horses in the

stable and the fees they pay go to offset the training costs.

"With the first Stablemates program we had a fan initiative for

about 10 years and thought this was the next step to grow more

owners and to educate them," Walden said. "This is a great

opportunity for people to get a taste of what it is like to own

high-caliber horses without a lot of cost. It gives people an

opportunity to get in and share in the ownership without having

to be a Kenny Troutt or a B. Wayne Hughes. Hopefully, our

owners will graduate and go on and do their own thing, just the

same as if they were involved with West Point or a number of

other syndicates."

WinStar Stablemates Racing had its finest hour in last year's

Coaching Club at Saratoga, where Paris Lights (Curlin) defeated

fellow WinStar Stablemates runner Crystal Ball (Malibu Moon)

by a neck. Paris Lights has not run back since and Crystal Ball

returned to finish fifth in the GI Alabama S. Both will run this

year and are again part of the racing partnership. Walden said

that Crystal Ball could run within the next four to six weeks and

that Paris Lights could return shortly after that. Paris Lights is

back in training in South Florida with Bill Mott.

"She came up with a little something behind and needed some

time off," Walden said. "She didn't need any surgery, but we felt

like she was worth waiting on and wanted to do the right thing.

We wound up having to give her 60 days off and we kept her in

light training at the farm and just sent her back down about a

month ago."

Walden has high expectations for the Grade I winner in 2021.

"With Paris Lights being by Curlin, we are really excited about

her 4-year-old year," Walden said. Cont. p8

Elliott Walden | Sarah Andrew

WinStar Stablemates cont.

Walden continued, "They tend to get better with age. She's a

filly who has done nothing wrong and improved in all her starts.

I think she's going to be one of the

best fillies in the country this year."

The 2021 roster for the stable

consists of 12 horses. Walden

explained that they are all fillies

because WinStar owns many of its

colts in partnerships with other

stables, including the China Horse

Club, and because well-bred fillies

always have the potential to join

the WinStar broodmare band when

done racing.

WinStar's big day on Friday began

with Signify (Speightstown), the

winner of a $15,000 maiden

claimer at Turfway Park. About an

hour and 20 minutes later, Gulf Coast squared off against seven

others in the Cash Run, a one-mile stakes for 3-year-old fillies. It

was her third lifetime start after she broke her maiden at

Indiana Downs and then finished second in the Sandpiper S. at

Tampa Bay Downs. Trained by Rodolphe Brisset, she won by a

half-length. She was purchased for $300,000 at the OBS April

Sale.

"What's exciting is that with her win we now have 12 fillies

and three of them are stakes

horses," Walden said. "That's not

an easy feat."

With the Coaching Club win,

WinStar Stablemates Racing had its

best year ever in 2020. They won

nine races, including the Iowa

Distaff S. at Prairie Meadows. They

have Paris Lights and Crystal Ball

coming back and Gulf Coast is an

improving horse. Walden is also

looking forward to the debut of

Seascape (Distorted Humor), a

3-year-old WinStar homebred

trained by Dallas Stewart who is

part of the syndicate.

"This definitely could be our best year," he said. "We have two

Grade I fillies and Gulf Coast is now a stakes winner. The best

thing about this is the passion these owners have for the

industry. It should be a very exciting year for us."

BAFFERT FAVORED IN SANTA YNEZ

The GII Santa Ynez S. at Santa Anita Sunday looks like Bob

Baffert=s race to lose as he saddles four of the seven runners in

the field, including Grade I winner Varda (Distorted Humor). A

debut winner at Del Mar Aug. 30, the $700,000 OBSAPR buy was

second to recently retired stablemate Princess Noor (Not This

Time) when navigating two turns in the Sept. 26 GII Chandelier

S. in Arcadia. The bay rallied to victory at odds of 17-1 in the

Dec. 5 GI Starlet S. at Los Alamitos, defeating re-opposing

barnmate Kalypso (Brody=s Cause) and Nasreddine (Nyquist).

Kalypso captured the Oct. 18 Anoakia S. at Santa Anita prior to

the Starlet and sheds the blinkers for this sophomore bow.

Baffert also saddles Gary and Mary West homebred Exotic

West (Hard Spun), a debut winner at Del Mar Nov. 21; and

Frosteria (Frosted), who has finished second in all three of her

starts, most recently going a mile at Los Alamitos Dec. 13.

Rounding out the field are Anoakia and Desi Arnaz S. runner-

up Queengol (Flashback); and Brilliant Cut (Speightstown), who

was claimed by trainer Doug O=Neill for $50,000 out of a winning

effort at Del Mar Nov. 20.

CATEMACO WINS AFTER NEAR DEATH

EXPERIENCE Edited Press Release A 4-year-old colt bred in California Mar. 23, 2017, Catemaco

(Girolamo) won his first start Friday by a widening four lengths

at Santa Anita, leading throughout six furlongs in a sprightly

1:09.08, paying $30.60 to his scattered backers and earning

$36,000 for owners Twilight Racing LLC and Steve Taub, all

pretty remarkable facts in their own right.

But truth be told, it=s a miracle Catemaco is even alive.

He swallowed a black widow spider when he was 4-months-

old, had a reaction that put him near death and would have died

if it hadn=t been for the diligent response of his trainer and

breeder, Kristin Mulhall.

After completing training at Santa Anita one morning, Mulhall

arrived at her home in Covina Hills where she keeps some

horses on her two-acre spread, only to find Catemaco lying

down, Astruggling to breathe.@

AThe horse couldn=t breathe at all,@ Mulhall said. AThere was

froth coming out of his nose, his eyes were bloodshot and

cloudy. He was seconds away from dying.@

Mulhall=s passion and persistence prevented his death even

though she had only rudimentary tools at her disposal.

AI called my vet, Melinda Blue,@ the conditioner said. AWe were

on FaceTime and she was having her hair done. She said find

anything, and I found a box blade. Fortunately, my tack room

was right next to where the horse was. She told me to feel the

ridges in his throat to find his trachea and slice a hole all the way

through it, and he started breathing through that.

AThen I said, >Now what?= and she said, >Find any kind of tube,=

and I found a syringe casing, cut the end of it and shoved it in,

but I only had a couple minutes before the hole would plug up

with foam and stuff. I tried to shove it in, but the hole closed

and he was flailing around really bad like a fish out of water, I

tried to cut it again but couldn=t. Cont. p10

Life is Good (Into Mischief) makes good on his ‘TDNRising Star debut with a win in the GIII Sham S.

Catemaco cont.

AAt that point, Humberto Gomez [Bob Baffert=s exercise rider,

known as Beto] had returned and he held the horse=s feet and

head. I got it through the trachea the third time I tried, made a

bigger hole, which I was able to open with my finger to insert

the casing.

AThen I called Melinda back and asked how the casing would

stay in. I had to find dental floss and the largest needle I could,

tie the dental floss to the needle and try to suture the hole the

best way I could. I said I don=t know how to do that. She said just

tie a knot. Put it through the hole, through the skin and tie a

knot on both sides, and that will hold it in until you get him to

the hospital.

ABeto was holding Catemaco until I found everything I needed,

we got it all done but then we didn=t know if he was going to get

up, if he was brain-dead or what. He got up after an hour. His

eyes were still bloodshot and cloudy, but he was up and walking.

We put him in the back of the trailer with his mom and

Humberto stayed with them, holding the tube in place.

AWe took them to Chino Hills Equine Hospital and Dr.

[Andreas] Klohnen, the head vet there, was absolutely shocked

at what he saw. The horse would have been dead if we didn=t do

what we did, so the doctor was able to administer the correct

implements for about two days before the swelling went down

enough that they were comfortable to remove it. The horse was

in the hospital about a week before I brought him back home

and he=s been fine ever since. It didn=t affect him at all.@

Catemaco is named for a horse by the same name that Gomez

said was >a freak= when he rode him as a jockey in Mexico City.

Catemaco also is a city in the Mexican state of Veracruz.

AIt was his favorite horse he ever rode and he asked me to

name my foal Catemaco, so I did,@ Mulhall said.

Mulhall, 38, is the daughter of the late trainer Richard Mulhall,

who managed the late Prince Ahmed Salman=s The

Thoroughbred Corp. after a lengthy training career in Southern

California. She was an Olympic-caliber equestrian rider through

her teens before being grounded by a serious arm injury. She

obtained her trainer=s license in 2002 after working for trainer

John Shirreffs. Presently, she has 23 head at Santa Anita and

some horses for trainer Jonathan Wong at her Covina Hills

location.

Her emotions understandably flooded forth after watching

Catemaco win Friday.

AI couldn=t hold the tears back,@ Mulhall said. AThat=s the first

time I cried after a race. That horse means so much to me, he=s

so special. The fact that he lived through that and he had the

heart to fight through that is pretty unbelievable. I grew up with

War Emblem, Point Given, Spain and all those good horses at

their farm. I was around some special ones.@

But none as special as Catemaco.

JESUS= TEAM FIRES BULLET IN PEGASUS PREP GI Breeders= Cup Dirt Mile runner-up Jesus= Team (Tapiture)

worked a bullet five furlongs in :59.75 (1/6) Saturday at Palm

Meadows in preparation for the GI Pegasus World Cup Jan. 23.

AHe was very sharp. It was an amazing workout and an

amazing gallop out too,@ trainer Jose D=Angelo said. AI am very

happy with the work today. I think we will have a big chance in

the Pegasus World Cup.@

The conditioner added, AHe will have two more breezes, six

furlongs next week and four furlongs the next week. Then, he

will be ready for the Pegasus.@

Third in the GI Preakness S. Oct. 3, Jesus= Team was second in

the Breeders= Cup Dirt Mile Nov. 7 and won the Claiming Crown

VALET & FORMER JOCKEY LUIS LEON PASSES A popular jockeys= room valet and former jockey, Luis Leon

passed away peacefully Tuesday evening at age 90, according to

his son David. He suffered a heart attack recently and

succumbed to the effects of the COVID-19 virus while

hospitalized. Leon is survived by his wife Juanita, a daughter

Sylvia and four sons, Louis, Jr., David, Mike and Victor. Services

are pending.

Born Sept. 7, 1930 in Fresno, California, Leon became a

contract rider with Rex Ellsworth in the 1950s and 60s. While

working under Hall of Fame trainer Mesh Tenney, Leon was

nicknamed AThe Cheetah.@

As a valet, his services were in keen demand and he worked

for a number of top riders over the years including Eddie

Delahoussaye, Patrick Valenzuela, Martin Pedroza, Aaron

Gryder, Rafael Meza, David Flores and many others.

Following his retirement from the jockeys= room, Leon and his

wife lived on his ranch southeast of San Diego.

NYJICF MAINTAINS LOWER WORKERS' COMP

COSTS The New York Jockey Injury Compensation Fund (NYJICF)

continues its high-deductible workers' compensation insurance

plan in 2021 enabling New York's horsemen to better control

their costs.

"The NYJICF is building upon the incredible progress the New

York racing community has made on workers' compensation in

the past three years", NYJICF and New York Thoroughbred

Horsemen's Association (NYTHA) President Joe Appelbaum said.

The NYJICF was able to secure a 15% premium reduction for

2020 to help offset the weeks of racing lost to the COVID-19

pandemic.

Essentially, the program benefits remain the same for 2021"

! The base premium charge will remain at $1,000 for

NYRA-based horsemen.

! The fees for the first 12 stalls will be free for all

trainers for the entire year.

! Trainers will continue to receive a $300 per start

credit for every off-the-board start at Aqueduct from

January through March.

According to the NYJICF, the plan has lowered the cost for

jockeys and exercise riders by $4,000 per trainer and $500 per

owner in the past two years. In addition, premiums for grooms

and hotwalkers have been reduced by 36%.

NYTHA also teamed with the New York Racing Association to

approve the use of $2.25 million from the purse cushion as

collateral for the high-deductible plan. Provisions in the state

budget allow for funds to be used to pay for workers'

compensation for exercise riders and jockeys in New York.

Sent off the 16-5 second favorite to build on a front-running

maiden victory over course and distance in his turf debut Dec.

19, Calumet Farm homebred Kentucky Pharoah repeated the

dose Saturday, earning his first stakes success in the Dania

Beach S. at Gulfstream.

Quickly into stride from gate two, Kentucky Pharoah had early

company to his inside in the form of favored Fighting Force but

was intent on rolling forward and was a clear leader turning up

the backstretch. Bowling along at a good clip while racing a

touch keenly, Kentucky Pharoah settled better on the turn and

had plenty left for the final couple of furlongs, proving a

comfortable winner in the end.

Kentucky Pharoah was off the board and beaten by double-

digit lengths in his first two tries on dirt at Keeneland Oct. 24

and Churchill Nov. 15.

Kentucky Pharoah is the 13th black-type winner for his Triple

Crown-winning stallion. The winner=s dam is also represented by

a Gun Runner filly of 2019 and a Mr Speaker filly of 2020. She

was bred to Goldencents for 2021.

AFantastic ride,@ winning trainer Jack Sisterson said. AWe really

put it in Kentucky Pharoah=s hands whether he could come back

in two weeks. He=s energetic. He was either going to breeze

[Sunday] at Palm Meadows, and he probably would have

breezed too quick, so why not run him instead.@ Click for the

>TDN Rising Star= Mutasaabeq, already a graded winner on turf

of the GII Bourbon S. at Keeneland last season, returned to the

main track and asserted his authority late to take Saturday=s

Mucho Macho Man S. at Gulfstream Park. Away in good order,

the $425,000 Keeneland November weanling fell into a good

stalking trip as Awesome Gerry took them along at a solid tempo

down the backstretch. The 11-10 chalk appeared to be making

hard work of it as they hit the three-furlong marker and Luis

Saez was all over his mount, but Mutasaabeq responded to the

busy ride to claim the lead with a furlong and a half to race and

bounded home a clear-cut winner.

A 4 1/2-length debut winner at Saratoga at first asking Aug. 8,

earning the >Rising Star= designation in the process, Mutasaabeq

was a distant third to Jackie=s Warrior (Maclean=s Music) in the

GI Runhappy Hopeful S. Sept. 7, then overcame a tardy dispatch

to win the Bourbon with a furious stretch rally. An 11-2 chance

in the GI Breeders= Cup Juvenile Turf, the bay raced wide on

both turns and was beaten better than 10 lengths in 10th

behind Fire At Will (Declaration of War).

Mutasaabeq is out of a half-sister to MGSW Cool Cowboy

(Kodiak Kowboy) who was acquired with this foal in utero for

$180,000 at the 2018 Keeneland January sale. Her progeny in

the pipeline include: a California Chrome filly of 2019 and an

Uncle Mo colt of 2020. She was bred to Audible for 2021.

AWe=ve been targeting this,@ winning trainer Todd Pletcher

said. AI thought he ran great. We wanted to make sure he got

away from the gate cleanly--that hasn=t always been his best

first step. I thought he broke pretty well today and put himself in

a good spot. Luis had to get after him a little bit on the turn and

kept responding and finding more. I thought it was a big effort.

We=ll look to try another one on dirt. I=ll talk to the team at

Shadwell and come up with a plan. I think today he showed his

versatility. He=s now a stakes winner on both surfaces. It=s

exciting to have one like that.@ Click for the Equibase.com chart

Looking to atone for his first career defeat when he suffered

an equipment malfunction in the Jean Lafitte S. at Delta Downs

Nov. 30, Slam Dunk Racing=s Drain the Clock made light work of

his rivals as the 9-5 chalk in Saturday=s Limehouse S. at

Gulfstream Park.

Smoothly away beneath Edgard Zayas, the chestnut stalked a

fast pace outside of front-running Warrior=s Pride (Poseidon=s

Warrior), eased to the front approaching the stretch and kicked

home smartly to defeat the blinkered Tiger by a handy margin.

Runway Magic finished third.

AIt was a pretty smooth trip,@ said the winning rider. AHe broke

sharp out of the gate. My only worry was that he was moving a

little bit in the gate, but everything worked out really well. I was

just trying to keep him in the clear and he did it all.@

Drain the Clock, a six-length maiden winner in the local slop on

debut Sept. 12, added a one-length allowance tally at

Gulfstream West Oct. 28 ahead of his Delta debacle, where an

iron broke and he lost his jockey.

Drain the Clock is the 21st stakes winner for his Hill >n= Dale-

based sire and has a yearling half-brother by Mineshaft. His dam

is due to Vino Rosso for 2021. Click for the Equibase.com chart

Texas-bred Con Lima was allowed a soft time of things up front

and had plenty in the locker en route to an easy victory in

Saturday=s Ginger Brew S.

The second betting choice hit the ground running beneath

Paco Lopez, making play through modest splits of :23.95 and

:47.55 as the stretching-out favorite Honey Pants elected to sit a

bit off the speed. Well in hand through six furlongs in 1:11.45,

Lopez gave a patented look over his shoulder before setting Con

Lima down, and the filly took care of business through the final

eighth of a mile. The final time was 1.16 seconds slower than

that recorded by Kentucky Pharoah (American Pharoah) in the

Dania Beach S. earlier on the program.

ATodd told me to judge the race, if she was keen to go or if we

needed to sit behind, to go with her,@ Lopez said. AShe broke

well and was a little strong. I had to hold her a little bit, but no

one pressured us. I couldn't believe it, so I let her go and my filly

finished very well.@

A 5 1/4-length maiden winner for trainer Carlos David back in

July, Con Lima had a new partner in the form of Eclipse

Thoroughbreds when second to future GISW Simply Ravishing

(Laoban) in the off-turf P. G. Johnson S. at Saratoga Sept. 3.

Runner-up in the rained-off Our Dear Peg S. at this venue Sept.

26, Con Lima finally got to test out the turf and responded with

FREEDOM FLYER (f, 3, Constitution--Rebuke, by Carson City)

hit the board in two of three starts on the sod, including a third

sprinting five panels at Del Mar Nov. 15 before filling the same

spot debuting on the dirt in a 5 1/2-furlong Los Al test Dec. 5.

Installed the 5-2 choice adding a sixteenth of a mile here, the

bay was on the engine early, throwing down :21.67 and :44.47

splits. Comfortably in control turning for home, she crossed the

wire four lengths ahead of Hyland Haven (Orb). The winner=s

dam, Rebuke, dropped a Constitution filly in 2019 followed by

an Anchor Down filly this term and was bred back to Justify.

MAJESTIC STEPS (IRE) (f, 3, Footstepsinthesand {GB}--Elusive

Laurence {Ire}, by Lawman {Fr}) was the public=s seventh choice

out of nine at 8-1 in her American debut for Phil D=Amato after

going winless in four starts for her breeder and trainer John

Murtagh in Ireland last year, most recently finishing fifth at

Galway Sept. 8. Stuttering out of the gate while receiving first-

time Lasix here, Majestic Steps started at the back of the field,

but moved up consistently and was challenging along the rail by

the time the field left the turn. The chestnut hit the front right

around the official time of :57 for the five-eighths was recorded

and then powered home relentlessly to secure a 1 1/2-length

win over first-timer Bleu Ballon (Air Force Blue). The winner=s

dam had fillies the last two years by Mastercraftsman (Ire) and

New Bay (GB), respectively. Lifetime Record: 5-1-0-0, $37,969.

DEFEATER (c, 3, Union Rags--Internal Affair, by Orientate),

making his first career trip to the post, spoiled the debuts of the

Godolphin favored entry of Colonel Bowman (Curlin) and

Gershwin (Distorted Humor) to take out the Saturday finale at

Fair Grounds. A firming proposition to be off as the 8-5 second

favorite, the $210,000 Keeneland September yearling graduate

raced last but one as Gershwin conducted his business up front.

That half-brother to >TDN Rising Star= Mystic Guide

(Ghostzapper) cut the corner going well into the lane, but

Defeater had crept into it under a hold on the turn, knifed

through to launch his bid three or four deep in upper stretch,

bothered the rallying Colonel Bowman inside the furlong marker

and proved easily best by 2 1/4 lengths. A claim of foul by

Florent Geroux aboard Colonel Bowman was disallowed by

stewards. The winner is a full to Dinar, SP, $165,912, who was

third over this track in the 2019 Tenacious S.; and a half to listed

winner Backdoor Kenny (Half Ours). Dam Internal Affair

produced a now-freshman colt by Classic Empire who RNA=d at

the 2020 Keeneland September yearling sale for $55,000. Her

2020 filly is by Empire Maker and she was bred back to Union

Rags for this spring. Sales history: $210,000 Ylg '19 KEESEP.

SIXTH STREET (f, 4, Tapit--Sindy With an S {GSW, $330,959}, by

Broken Vow) had made only two lifetime starts coming into this

maiden--one at two and one at three. Now four, off since last

April and since transferred from the Mark Hennig barn to Steve

Asmussen, the bay had been working steadily since October. She

left the gate running as the 2-1 second choice and was

prominent on the rail through a quarter in :22.45 and a half in

:46.53. She weaved in and out coming off the turn as she looked

for room before finally splitting horses in the stretch to take

command and triumph by a half-length over favored April in

Paris (Gemologist). Sixth Street is a full-sister to I'll Wrap It Up,

GSP, $270,662; My Miss Tapit, SW & GSP, $134,531; and

Rattataptap, GSP, $197,687. Her GSW dam produced another

full-sister, Typo, that just turned two. Barren in 2020, Sindy With

an S was bred to both Tapit and his son, Tapwrit, for this spring.

hit the board in her next two over the Louisville oval=s dirt

surface later in the fall, including the most recent a third Nov.

increased her advantage at every call, scoring by two lengths

over Postnup (Declaration of War). The winner is a half to

Francatelli (City Zip), SW-Can, SP-USA, $156,999. Salary Drive

seven-furlong With Anticipation S. Sept. 2, he was sent off the

7-2 second choice in his turf debut. Quickly to the front, the colt

led throughout, holding on to score by a half length over

Floriform (Into Mischief). Rau Breck, a half-sister to MGSW &

GISP Shakis (Ire) (Machiavellian), produced a full-sister to

Winfromwithin last season and a California Chrome colt this

Siyouni (Fr) | The Aga Khan Studs

Wootton Bassett (GB) | Coolmore

SIYOUNI COMES OF AGE

By Emma Berry

It is only a decade since the most expensive stallion at stud in

France was Elusive City at i15,000. Yet to have runners at that

stage were Le Havre (Ire) and Kendargent (Fr), who entered

stud in 2010, followed by Siyouni (Fr) in 2011 and then Wootton

Bassett (GB) the next year. Those are the four names who

dominated the French sires' championship in 2020 and can take

a large part of the credit for an increasingly dynamic stallion

scene in France.

Siyouni, who now commands a fee of i140,000 having started

his career at i7,000, is the French champion sire and was

second overall in Europe to Galileo (Ire). He had to play second

fiddle to Galileo in his home country last year and to an extent

that could be put down to what a difference an Arc makes.

Galileo sired the 2019 Arc winner Waldgeist (GB), while new

Coolmore stallion Sottsass (Fr) enjoyed the biggest day of his

career in front of an almost empty ParisLongchamp grandstand

in October 2020. He made a huge contribution to Siyouni's

overall progeny earnings of just over i4 million--double that of

Le Havre--but the Aga Khan Studs stallion had plenty of other

winners, 63 in total in France including nine stakes winners and

17 black-type performers in France, with 27 of the latter

throughout Europe.

While Sottsass was the stand-out, Siyouni also sired his second

winner of the G1 Poule d'Essai des Pouliches, Dream And Do (Fr),

who is now in the ownership of Katsumi Yoshida. His reputation

farther afield was bolstered by the G1 Dewhurst S. winner

St Mark's Basilica (Ire) and GI EP Taylor S. victrix Etoile (Fr).

The 62 winners for Le Havre were led by a filly trained outside

France although by a Frenchman. The G1 Prix de Royallieu and

G1 QIPCO British Champion Fillies & Mares S. winner Wonderful

Tonight (Fr) is the stable star for Sussex-based David Menuisier

and she was a another feather in the cap of her breeders Sylvain

Vidal and Mathieu Alex, who have played a major role in the

rejuvenation of the French stallion scene at what was originally

known as Haras de la Cauviniere and is now Haras de Montfort

et Preaux. Now under the ownership of Nurlan Bizakov, the stud

has a further name to grapple with this year in Sumbe, the title

which now unites Montfort et Preaux with Bizakov's original

breeding base of Hesmonds Stud in England.

Le Havre, who was 10th overall in the European table, notched

11 black-type winners in Europe last season included the hugely

promising Normandy Bridge (Fr), winner of the G3 Prix Thomas

Bryon and runner-up to Van Gogh (American Pharoah) in the

G1 Criterium International. A tall colt with plenty of scope, he

could be one to put his young trainer Stephanie Nigge firmly on

the map in 2021. Cont. 2

Rajsaman (Fr) | Haras de Montfort & Preaux

Soldier Hollow (GB) | Gestut Auenquelle

Kendargent has been one of the great success stories of the

French ranks in recent years. The non-stakes winner, who

started out at a fee of i1,000, received significant backing from

his passionate owner Guy Pariente, whose Haras de Colleville,

near Deauville, has blossomed into a breeding operation of

some repute.

Now 18, Kendargent is in danger of being upstaged by his son

Goken (Fr), who was France's leading first-season sire of 2020,

and Kendargent has also featured as the broodmare sire of

several stakes winners by his other Colleville companion,

Galiway (GB). His fee peaked at i22,000 and is down to

i10,000 for 2021. His leading performer from 63 French

winners last season was the globe-trotting Skalleti (Fr), who beat

Sottsass when winning the Prix Gontaut-Biron, and followed that

up by winning the G2 Prix Dollar and was then second to

Adeyybb (Ire) in the G1 QIPCO British Champion S.

Wootton Bassett has also been a real success story for French

breeding, so much so that he was head-hunted by Coolmore last

year and is about to serve his first season in Ireland at a fee of

i100,000, having stood for as little as i4,000 in this third and

fourth seasons. The James Fanshawe-trained Audarya (Fr)

followed up her G1 Prix Jean Romanet win with a memorable

victory in the GI Breeders' Cup Filly & Mare Turf, while Wooded

(Fr) won the G1 Prix de l'Abbaye before being whisked off to

stud himself. There were also close calls for Wootton Bassett's

offspring in the French Classics: his daughters Speak Of The Devil

(Fr) and Mageva (Fr) were second and third in the Poule d'Essai

des Pouliches and The Summit (Fr) was runner-up (Ire) in the

Poulains.

The winner of that race, Victor Ludorum (Ire), helped his late

sire Shamardal to a fifth place in the French sires' table, his 10

black-type winners, including the Aga Khan's classy Tarnawa (Ire)

and Pinatubo (Ire), winner of the G1 Prix Jean Prat.

Rajsaman (Fr) is another to have left France and is now at

Ireland's Longford House Stud but he still sires plenty of winners

in his native country, with 60 last year, to put him in sixth place.

Completing the top 10 were Juddmonte's Kingman (GB), whose

outstanding French representative was Persian King (Ire); Haras

du Quesnay's Anodin (Ire), who sired four stakes winners in

2020 including G3 Prix de Fille de l'Air winner Directa (Fr);

Dabirsim (Fr) and the now Japanese-based Makfi (GB).

The aforementioned Goken was not only leading first-season

sire in France, but also the country's leading sire of 2-year-olds,

with his 15 winners putting him three ahead of Siyouni in the

juvenile category.

Leading Sires in Germany That Sadler's Wells is a major influence is hardly newsflash

material. His reach in Germany is predominantly through one of

his lesser-heralded sons, the late In The Wings (GB), whose best

sire son, arguably, was Singspiel (Ire). The German ranks are

headed by two of his other sons, Adlerflug (Ger), who is

champion for the first time ahead of Soldier Hollow (GB), the

title holder in the previous two years as well as in 2016.

Physically, they are chalk and cheese. Adlerflug, a tall, flashy

chestnut, is a product of Germany's oldest stud farm, Gestut

Schlenderhan. Meanwhile, the diminutive bay Soldier Hollow,

was bred in England by Car Colston Hall Stud and has spent his

stud career initially at Gestut Rottgen before moving to

Karl-Dieter Ellerbracke's Gestut Auenquelle in 2012, whence he

has been Germany's busiest and most expensive stallion for a

number of years. Incidentally, Soldier Hollow's owner Helmut

von Finck, who has had notable success with his offspring, has

commissioned a video to celebrate the stallion's 20th birthday,

which can be found here.

Protectionist | Emma Berry

Adlerflug covered 39 mares in 2020 and he really is a stallion

who should be taken more seriously outside Germany. For a

start, he is bred very similarly to Galileo (Ire): beyond the

Sadler's Wells top line they share a third dam, Anatevka (Ger),

with Adlerflug's grandam Alya (Ger) being a full-sister to

Allegretta (GB).

Ranking 20th overall in the European sires' championship with

markedly fewer runners than all the stallions above him,

Adlerflug was responsible for the first two home in the

G1 Deutsches Derby, Schlenderhan's In Swoop (Ire), who was

subsequently runner-up in the G1 Grand Prix de Paris and

Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe, and Torquator Tasso (Ger), who went

on to win the G1 Grosser Preis von Berlin. A rare runner for him

in Britain in 2020 was the William Haggas-trained juvenile

Alenquer (Fr), an easy winner on debut at Newbury who

followed up with second in the listed Ascendant S. and looks a

colt to follow in 2021.

Alenquer is out of a mare by former German champion sire

and classy sprinter Areion (Ger), a veteran son of Big Shuffe

(Ger) who was third in the table in 2020 and, now 25, has spent

the last three seasons at Gestut Etzean.

Among the younger stallions to note is Gestut Ohlerweierhof's

Isfahan (Ger), the leading German-based first-season sire in

2020. Like Adlerflug, he is a former winner of the Deutsches

Derby, and from his 10 runners in 2020, five were winners,

including Isfahani (Ger), who won the G3 Premio Guido

Berardelli on debut in the colours of her sire's owner Stefan

Oschmann of Darius Racing. Isfahan should be expected to make

a bigger impression with his first 3-year-olds, and the same can

be said for Gestut Rottgen's Melbourne Cup winner

Protectionist (Ger), the lone son of Monsun (Ger) remaining at

stud in Germany.
