Quick facts about Kenneth L. and Sarah K. Ramsey:

After being absent from the Breedersʼ Cup in 2012, 2013 has been aphenomenal year for Ramsey Farm homebreds. On Aug. 17, AdmiralKitten won the Secretariat Stakes (G1), Big Blue Kitten took the SwordDancer Invitational Stakes (G1), and Real Solution topped off the daywith a victory in the Arlington Million (G1). All three are homebred sonsof Kittenʼs Joy. Enjoyed another big weekend Oct. 5 and 6 when WeMiss Artie and Bobbyʼs Kitten became their third and fourth winners ofa Breedersʼ Cup “Win and Youʼre In” race with victories in theBreedersʼ Futurity (G1) and Pilgrim Stakes (G3), respectively.

Other notable runners for the Ramseys in 2013 include StephanieʼsKitten, who won the Just a Game Stakes (G1), as well as gradedstakes winners Dark Cove, Hyper, and Kittenʼs Dumplings.

With their homebred contingent running so well, the Ramseys havebeen at the top or near the top of the leading owner and leading

Page 11: breeders’ cup TurF

breeder lists by money earned. Their foundation stallion, Kittenʼs Joy,has also been at the top of the leading general sire list.

The Ramseys ran away with the title of top owner at Saratoga thisyear. They set a record number of wins in one meet (22), whileamassing $1.7 million in earnings.

The Ramseys earned their first Breedersʼ Cup trophy on their 11thattempt when Furthest Land, a former claimer, won the Dirt Mile (G1)in 2009. Now retired, the gelding is currently in training fordressage/eventing. In 2004, the Ramseys had to settle for runner-upfinishes by Roses in May in the Classic (G1) and Kittenʼs Joy in theBreedersʼ Cup Turf (G1).

When homebred Stephanieʼs Kitten captured the 2011 Breedersʼ CupJuvenile Fillies Turf, it gave the Ramseys their second trophy in theBreedersʼ Cup World Championships. The talented runner is currentlyat Ramsey Farm to recover from bone soreness, but is slated to run in2014, perhaps at Royal Ascot.

Ken Ramsey had turned down an offer to sell Stephanieʼs Kitten – whois named for one of his granddaughters – shortly before her breakoutwin in the 2011 Darley Alcibiades Stakes (G1) at Keeneland.

The Ramseys were named the National Owner of the Year and theNational Breeder of the Year at the 27th annual Thoroughbred Ownersand Breeders Association awards dinner in 2012.

They have been the dominant owners in the win category at Kentuckytracks for the past decade. The Ramseys won their tenth leading

owner title at Keeneland during the 2012 Spring Meet. Though theRamseys are the all time leading owners at Churchill Downs by wins,they campaigned more aggressively in New York in 2012 and were theleading owners at the Belmont Park spring/summer meet with 11victories.

The Ramseys won 16 stakes in 2011 en route to earning their secondEclipse Award for Outstanding Owner, having notched their first in2004.

The Ramseys have more than 100 horses in training with varioustrainers, including Wayne Catalano, Mike Maker, and Wesley Ward.They also maintain a string of horses in Europe and are looking toexpand internationally.

Ramsey Farm, home to Kittenʼs Joy as well as the Ramsey broodmareband, is approximately 1,400 acres. The farm also features “KittenʼsSpa,” which has an underwater treadmill with whirlpool jets that can beheated in cooler weather and a vibrating platform that has asolarium-esque heat lamp above it. Although originally built to keepKittenʼs Joy fit, it is now used for any horse on the farm. Kittenʼs Joystill gets first dibs, and Stephanieʼs Kitten is currently second in lineeach morning.

After heavily supporting homebred stallion Kittenʼs Joy with their ownmares, the Ramseys have been rewarded with phenomenal successwith his stud fee climbing to $50,000 for the 2013 season. It isexpected to rise for 2014.

Page 12: breeders’ cup TurF

Kittenʼs Joy is a son of the Ramseyʼs foundation mare, Kittenʼs Firstwho also produced Grade 1 winner Precious Kitten and stakes winnerJustenuffheart, dam of champion and 2006 Breedersʼ Cup JuvenileFillies winner Dreaming of Anna. Kittenʼs First foundered and waseuthanized in Jan. 2006.

Portions of Ramsey Farm have been operated by various leadingThoroughbred and Standardbred breeders for more than 100 years.The Ramseysʼ initial purchase, the former Almahurst Farm, was thebirthplace of 1918 Kentucky Derby winner Exterminator andStandardbred legend Greyhound.

Ken Ramsey was five when his family took a Christmas shopping tripto Louisville, Ky. and he saw the Twin Spires through the back gate ofChurchill Downs. During his real estate heyday in the 1970s, hedeveloped his passion for horse racing by attending Keeneland,

Churchill Downs, River Downs or any track that was open.

Ken Ramsey first entered racing in 1969 by claiming Red Redeemerfor $1,500 at the now-closed Miles Park in Louisville; the horse wasblind in one eye and never won again. Ramsey initially gave up racinginterests in the mid-1980s to concentrate his capital on acquiring thecellular franchises, but got back into the industry after selling hisbusiness.

A graduate of the University of Kentucky by way of the GI Bill, Ramseywas a trucking industry executive before turning to real estate in the1970s and then to cellular telephone network franchising in the 1980sprimarily along Interstate 75 in northeastern Georgia and southeasternKentucky. He sold the cellular business, valued at $39 million, in 1994and bought historic Almahurst Farm near Lexington, renaming itRamsey Farm.

Quick facts about Chad Brown:

On Aug. 17, 2013, Brown accomplished an impressive Grade 1 turfdouble, winning the Sword Dancer Invitational Handicap at Saratogawith Big Blue Kitten and the Arlington Million at Arlington Park withReal Solution. The Arlington Million victory came on the disqualificationof The Apache for bumping in the stretch. “It was an incredible day forour stable. One of those days that youʼll never forget,” Brown says.“Hopefully we can do it again at some point in time.” The SwordDancer and the Arlington Million were “Win and Youʼre In” races andboth horses qualified for the Breedersʼ Cup Turf.

Real Solution and Big Blue Kitten head a lineup of nearly a dozenhorses that Brown could have at the 30th Breedersʼ Cup in 2013.Candidates for that group include Bobbyʼs Kitten and Shadow Bankingfor the Juvenile Turf; Testa Rossi. Ready to Act, Granny Mcʼs Kittenand Kitten Kaboodle in the Juvenile Fillies Turf; and Easter Gift in theDirt. Last Gunfigther is being considered for the Dirt Mile and theMarathon and Summer Applause is a possibility for the Distaff.Bobbyʼs Kitten won the Pilgrim (G3) and Testa Rossi won the MissGrillo (G3) at Belmont Park and Kitten Kaboodle won the Jessamine(G3) at Keeneland, all “Win and Youʼre In” races, giving Brown fiveautomatic qualifiers.

Brown won with the first Breedersʼ Cup horse he started, Maram in the2008 Juvenile Fillies Turf. She died in Sept. 2012 at age six of whatwas called “an acute illness.” In 2009, Maram finished sixth in the Fillyand Mare Turf and Silver Timber finished sixth in the Turf Sprint. SilverTimber was back the following year, finishing fifth in the same race. In2011, Brown had three Breedersʼ Cup starters: Dayatthespa in theJuvenile Fillies Turf (G2, 9th), Stacelita in the Filly and Mare Turf (G1,

Page 14: breeders’ cup TurF

10th), and Fantastic Song in the Juvenile Turf (G1, 10th).

Brown is from Mechanicville, a small city with a population of 5,196 in2010 on the banks of the Hudson River about 17 miles southeast ofSaratoga Springs. He grew up going to historic Saratoga Race Coursewith his family and became interested in horses and the sport. To thisday, Brownʼs father heads to the same picnic table in the backyardevery time he goes to the track; Brown occasionally joins him there tohandicap his horsesʼ races, taking advantage of the more relaxedatmosphere.

While in high school, Brown began working with harness horses atSaratoga Raceway. He took the next step toward what has becomehis career by spending his college summers and the year following hisgraduation from Cornell working for Hall of Fame trainer ShugMcGaughey. “I grew up breaking and training Standardbreds,” hesays, “but always wanted to be with the Thoroughbreds. I liked the wayShug won big races, and he had so many good, quality horses; I waslucky enough that he took me in when I approached him. I started outhot-walking, then grooming and worked my way up to a foreman.”

Brown then spent five years working for another Hall of Famer, the lateBobby Frankel, splitting his time between southern California andSaratoga. He went on to oversee Frankelʼs divisions in Kentucky,Monmouth Park and Gulfstream Park and got hands-on experienceworking with Frankel-trained luminaries such as Ghostzapper,Intercontinental, Empire Maker, Ginger Punch, and Medaglia dʼOro. “Iwas at the point where I needed to grow into an assistant, and Shugʼsoperation was smaller and there was no room for that,” he said. “Going

to work for Bobby was the best thing that ever happened to me. I gotto deal with so many good horses and so many good owners. He sentme everywhere – Hollywood Park, Santa Anita, Monmouth Park, andChurchill Downs. I learned so much from him, it was like the graduateschool of racing. It was really hard to leave. I talked to him about it andtold him the only way I would go was if he was willing to help me. Itʼsfitting that one of the last things I did was to saddle Ginger Punch towin the Breedersʼ Cup Distaff [at Monmouth in 2007, when Frankelstayed in California with his terminally ill dog]. Iʼd been there allsummer, and I was really close to that mare. Iʼm honored that Bobbytrusted me with her.”

Brown went out on his own in Nov. 2007, shortly after the BreedersʼCup. His first winner came later that month at Churchill Downs: DualJewels, in a $10,000 claimer. Dual Jewels was claimed from Brownʼssmall stable in that race. Brown made the move after getting married,when he decided it was time to return to New York on a morepermanent basis. His wife, Terrill, also is from New York; sheʼs thegranddaughter of trainer William “Red” Terrill.

In 2008, his first full year of training, Brownʼs initial application for stallsat Saratoga was turned down. He did land a few stalls before the meetstarted and won with his first starter at his home track – with StarPlayer in the first race on opening day. That year he picked up his firststakes winners, all in listed stakes. Brown got his first graded stakeswin in July 2009 when Silver Timber won the Jaipur (G3) at BelmontPark. Silver Timber also won the Woodford Stakes (G3) in Oct. 2009.

Silver Timber continued to be the big horse in Brownʼs barn through•

Page 15: breeders’ cup TurF

2010, winning four stakes races, including a repeat in the Woodford.

The 2011 season was Brownʼs breakthrough year: his stable reachedthe $5 million plateau in purse earnings and he won his first Grade 1 inJuly. Fittingly, that milestone came at Saratoga when Zagora capturedthe Diana, a race won by Bobby Frankel in 2001 and 2002. Brown saidat the time that the win was especially meaningful for that reason. Hewon three other Grade 1 races that year: the Beverly D. and FlowerBowl with Stacelita and the Gazelle with Awesome Feather.

In 2012, Brown got off to a hot start at Saratoga, holding the lead inthe trainer standings in the early part of the meet. He would eventuallyfinish second with 29 wins to Todd Pletcherʼs 36. This year also sawBrown start his first horse in a Triple Crown race when Street Lifefinished fourth in the Belmont Stakes. Street Life went on to win theCurlin at Saratoga; he was injured in the Travers Stakes andsubsequently retired.

Brown enjoyed a very successful Breedersʼ Cup weekend in 2012. Hesaddled Zagora to win the Fillies and Mare Turf; had a pair of secondswith Whatsdachanches in the Juvenile Fillies Turf and Noble Tune inthe Juvenile Turf; and Balance the Books was third in the JuvenileTurf. Zagoraʼs victory capped a championship season for which shereceived the Eclipse Award for outstanding Female Turf Horse. TheBrown-trained Stacelita won the 2011 Eclipse as the champion femaleturf horse.

The victories in the Arlington Million and the Sword Dancer have beenhigh points in a dynamic 2013 season in which Brown had won gradedstakes with 12 different horses by Oct. 9 ... One of Brownʼsbest-known runners in 2013 is Fox Hill Farmʼs Normandy Invasion, hisfirst Kentucky Derby starter. Normandy Invasion was second in theWood Memorial (G1) and was fourth in the Derby. Injuries have keptthe colt out the races since the Derby, but he is scheduled to return toBrownʼs stable in November.

Fleeting Spirit then finished 7th in the 2009Breedersʼ Cup Sprint on the synthetic surface at Santa Anita.Nosedaʼs Strike the Deal also returned to the Breedersʼ Cup in 2009,finishing last of 14 in the Turf Sprint, but Awesome Act finished fourthin the Juvenile Turf.

Despite winning with his first runner and three of his next four starters,he failed to attract new owners and returned to Britain at the end of1997.

In 1995, Sheikh Mohammed proposed setting Noseda up as a trainerin France, but Noseda turned down the offer due to his desire to trainunder his own name. With the Sheikhʼs blessing, he went back toHollywood Park in California in Jan. 1996 with 15 horses in his care.

In late 1993, Sheikh Mohammed asked him to join his Godolphinoperation. His two years there coincided with Lammtarra winning boththe Epsom Derby and the Prix de lʼArc de Triomphe, not to mentionnumerous triumphs worldwide in major races with the likes ofBalanchine, Moonshell, Vettori, Halling and Classic Cliche.

Noseda is an avid soccer fan and a season ticket holder at TottenhamHotspur.

Breeder/Owner

Felipe Lovisi ... Born: Salerno, Italy ... Family: Wife Patricia Perez;children Gustavo Adrian, Mayra Florencia, and Maria Fernanda.

Quick facts about Felipe Lovisi:

For Lovisi, Indy Point is a horse of a lifetime, fulfilling all his dreamsfrom the time he was a child.

Indy Point has won the Argentine Derby (G1), the Jockey Club 131stAnniversary Stakes (G1), Estrellas Juvenile (G1), and Miguel Cane(G2), as well as finishing second in the Argentine 2,000 Guineas (G1)and the prestigious Carlos Pellegrini (G1) against older horses, all in2012. Shipped to the United States to train with Richard Mandella atthe end of 2012, he was given seven months off, then he won the2013 John Henry Turf Championship Stakes (G2) and an overnightstakes in three starts going into the 2013 Breedersʼ Cup.

Lovisi raced Red Point. When she retired she produced seven winnersfrom nine starters for Lovisi. She earned the right to have a season toone of Argentinaʼs leading stallions, Indygo Shiner, at the greatArgentine stud Haras La Quebrada. The resulting foal, Indy Point, was

born Sept. 2, 2009.

After marrying Patricia, Lovisi gave ponies to their children, who haveall developed the same love for horses their parents share. He wantedmore of a life with horses and as he could afford it, under the advice ofRuben Magdalena, Lovisi bought his first racehorse. He knew RaulRamallo, and had become good friends with him, so when Ramalloretired as a jockey and started training, Lovisi started owning horses togive to him. Lovisi named his stable after his three children –Gusmayfer.

A friend of his when he was young was a player on the ArgentineaSoccer Team, Ruben “El Gato” Magdalena, who bred and ownedseveral racehorses and encouraged Lovisiʼs passion, taking him to thetrack and showing him the horses he raced, including one called “Offthe Record,” which was a particular favorite.

Emigrated from Italy to Argentina when he was two years old becauseof the poverty in Italy during WWII. His love of horses showed early, hewas always watching and admiring them. His first jobs were aroundhorses, selling fruit and ice cream from horse-drawn carts. His workingpartner was a horse named “Tito.”

Quick facts about Richard Mandella:

Mandella will be trying to build on his Breedersʼ Cup success at SantaAnita where all seven of his previous victories have come, including

Page 25: breeders’ cup TurF

last year when he won the Juvenile Fillies with Beholder ... The now3-year-old filly is one of the top contenders for the 2013 Breedersʼ CupDistaff after most recently winning the Zenyatta Stakes (G1) at SantaAnita to add to her three other stakes wins this year ... Mandella isranked ninth in Breedersʼ Cup earnings of $9,126,960.

Mandella enjoyed a record-setting Breedersʼ Cup at Santa Anita in2003, when he saddled four winners from seven to start, and amassedearnings of $4,564,040 for the richest day by a trainer in the eventʼshistory. His winners included Pleasantly Perfect in the Classic, Johar inthe Turf, Action This Day in the Juvenile, and Halfbridled in theJuvenile Fillies. He had the exacta in the Juvenile, also conditioningsecond-place finisher Minister Eric ... His other two Breedersʼ Cupvictories also came at Santa Anita, coming in 1993, with Kotashaan(Fr) in the Turf and Phone Chatter in the Juvenile Fillies.

Enjoyed almost as big a day the previous time Santa Anita hosted theBreedersʼ Cup in 1993 when he won the Turf with Kotashaan, theJuvenile Fillies with Phone Chatter and two other stakes on theundercard with Memo and Region. Total earnings that day were$1,697,500. Kotashaan went on to be named Horse of the Year aswell as champion male turf horse, while Phone Chatter earned theEclipse Award for champion 2-year-old filly.

Reflecting on those two dream days, Mandella in 2009 said with hisself-deprecating sense of humor, “It makes you wonder how you canbe so stupid on other days.” In a more serious tone, he added, “I lookback on it with a lot of appreciation. It kind of hits you like a bolt oflightning when it happens, but with each passing year, it seems to get

bigger and bigger.”

In the late 1990s and early 2000s, Mandella built quite a reputationwith South American horses such as Siphon, Sandpit, Gentlemen,Malek, Puerto Madero and Redattore. Although it had been a numberof years since he had had a good South American horse, hisreputation led to owner Felipe Lovisi sending him Indy Point (Arg)earlier this year. The faith has been rewarded with two victories in theUnited States, including the John Henry Turf Championship Stakes(G2) to set the horse up for a try at the Breedersʼ Cup Turf.

Trainer of four champions: Kotashaan (Fr) (Horse of the Year,Champion grass horse, 1993), Action This Day (Championtwo-year-old colt, 2003), Halfbridled (Champion two-year-old filly,2003), and Phone Chatter (Champion two-year-old filly, 1993).

Breeder/Owner

Carlo and Priscilla Vaccarezza ... Born: Carlo was born Genoa, Italy onNov. 8, 1951; Priscilla was born Aug. 25, 1964. ... Residence: Parkland,Fla. The couple had previously resided in Naperville, Ill., before movingto Florida a decade ago.

Quick facts about Carlo and Priscilla Vaccarezza:

Little Mike, winner of the 2012 Breedersʼ Cup Turf, was their first everstarter in the Breedersʼ Cup World Championships.

Little Mike, who in addition to the Breedersʼ Cup Turf won the 2012Woodford Reserve (G1) and Arlington Million (G1), secured a returntrip to the Breedersʼ Cup by capturing the Joe Hirsch Turf Classic (G1)by a nose at Belmont Park in September. It was his first victory in2013.

In 2013, along with trainer Dale Romans and stable manager JohnWilliams, the Vaccarezzas founded Little Dreams Racing, whosestated mission says: “The purpose of Little Dreams Racing is to formpartnerships with racing enthusiasts to run Thoroughbreds at the majorracing venues of the United States.” ... All the names of the horses inthe stable start with “Little.”

The only mare Vaccarezza currently has is Hay Jude, who producedmultiple Grade 1 winner Little Mike (Woodford Reserve Turf Classicand Arlington Million). Hay Jude, an Illinois-bred who won 5 races in30 starts, also produced the Vaccarezza-owned stakes winner LittleNick, who is twice stakes-placed in 2012 and an earner of more than$500,000 in his career. Hay Jude was given to Vaccarezza by his

friend Pat Greco when the horseʼs racing career was over.

The Vaccarezzas have raced a handful of successful horses over theyears and among their other stakes winners is the filly My DueProcess ... “Can you believe this?” Vaccarezza said after Little Mikehad won the Arlington Million. “Iʼm just a backyard kind of guy and wetook a Florida-bred horse that was out of an Illinois-bred mare and wetook on the Europeans in one of the biggest races in the world and webeat them. What a story.”

Mr. Vaccarezza has been involved in Thoroughbred racing for morethan 35 years. He had a brief stint as a hotwalker at Aqueduct in thelate 1960s and bought his first race horse in the early 1970s.

The Vaccarezzas previously operated Break of Dawn Farm nearOcala, which in the mid 1990s was one of the only training centers inthe area with a swimming pool. Vaccarezza, whose major customersincluded the late George Steinbrenner, has since sold the facility.

Mr. Vaccarezza is a Florida-based restaurateur who currently ownstwo restaurants – Damiano Restaurant in Boca Raton, Fla., and Frankand Dinoʼs in Deerfield Beach, Fla. Vaccarezzaʼs previous restaurantestablishments included Rustyʼs (co-owned with baseball great RustyStaub) in New York City and Mickeyʼs (co-owned with actor MickeyRourke) in Miami.

Although he lost the Eclipse Award for champion Turf horse to Milewinner Wise Dan, Little Mike was recognized as the Florida-bredHorse of the Year in 2012.

Quick facts about Dale Romans:

Dale Romans earned his first Eclipse Award for Outstanding Trainer in2012 following a season that saw him saddle the victors of nine Grade1 races, including Little Mikeʼs triumph in the 2012 Breedersʼ Cup Turf.…Little Mikeʼs Breedersʼ Cup win was one of 20 graded stakesvictories for Romans in 2012 as he finished fourth in the nation with acareer-best $11,834,249 in earnings.

Little Mike became Romansʼs third Breedersʼ Cup winner. He earnedhis first Breedersʼ Cup victory when Tapitsfly won the 2009 JuvenileFillies Turf and won the 2011 Breedersʼ Cup Mile by a nose with 64-1long shot Court Vision, paying $131.60. … Finished second in the2011 Dirt Mile with Shackleford and second in both the 2004 Classicand Turf with Roses In May and Kittenʼs Joy, respectively.

After a slow start to 2013 that saw his stable win just two gradedstakes through the end of August, Romans rebounded with a bigSeptember in which he tied Steve Asmussen for the meet title atChurchill Downs. Donegal Racingʼs Cleburne and Smart Cover both

Page 31: breeders’ cup TurF

put themselves on a path to the Breedersʼ Cup Juvenile by running 1-2in the Iroquois Stakes (G3) at Churchill Downs while Little Mike earnedhis way back to the Breedersʼ Cup for a title defense by winning theJoe Hirsch Turf Classic (G1) at Belmont Park. Romans also has apossible Breedersʼ Cup Mile contender in multiple graded stakeswinner, Silver Max.

Little Mikeʼs win in the Joe Hirsch Turf Classic snapped a four-racelosing skid and was his first win since his Breedersʼ Cup victory. Thegelded son of Spanish Steps began his six-year-old campaign inDubai, finishing 11th in the Dubai Duty Free (UAE-G1), and ran sixth inthe Arlington Million (G1) in his attempt to capture that race for asecond consecutive year.

Popular Romans was honored in Dec. 2012 as the winner of the BigSport of Turfdom Award which is “bestowed upon a person or group ofpeople who enhance coverage of Thoroughbred racing throughcooperation with media and Thoroughbred racing publicists.”

Romans captured the first Triple Crown race of his career in 2011when his stable star Shackleford was able to hold off Kentucky Derbywinner Animal Kingdom for a half-length victory in the PreaknessStakes ... His first Classic win came one year after he “hit the board” inall three Triple Crown races. Paddy OʼPrado finished third in theKentucky Derby and then stablemate First Dude finished second in thePreakness and third in the Belmont Stakes.

Experienced his breakout year in 2004 thanks in part to EclipseAward-winning Kittenʼs Joy, runner-up in the Turf, and Whitney

Handicap (G1) winner Roses in May, runner-up in the Breedersʼ CupClassic. They were Romansʼ first Breedersʼ Cup starters ... Roses inMay returned in 2005 to win the Donn Handicap (G1) and Dubai WorldCup (UAE-G1) before being sent to Japan for stud duty. Kittenʼs Joyalso was retired in 2005 after finishing second in the Arlington Million(G1) and now ranks as a leading sire for owner/breeders Ken andSarah Ramsey.

Kittenʼs Joy also is the sire of the Ramseysʼ multiple Grade 1 winnerBig Blue Kitten, who was second to Little Mike in the Joe Hirsch TurfClassic and is slated to be among the leading contenders for theBreedersʼ Cup Turf . “He was the game changer for me in my career,”Romans said of Kittenʼs Joy. “He did so much for me and he keepsdoing it. We have a breeding right so heʼs the gift who keeps ongiving.”

Romans has expanded his operation in recent years to include hisLiberty Lane Training Center based in Goshen, Ky. and a 105-acrenursery near Lexington he acquired. Romans Racing also beganconsigning horses at public auction in 2012 with offerings at theFasig-Tipton Saratoga select yearling sale and Keeneland Septemberyearling sale.

Won his 1,000th race on June 14, 2006, at Churchill Downs with C F OLite ... Has won training titles at Churchill, Keeneland, and TurfwayPark … Key assistants are Baldemar Behena (Churchill Downs andhis private Liberty Lane Training Center, Kentucky), Mary Doser (NewYork and Florida), and former jockey Tammy Fox, his partner of morethan 20 years who also serves as the primary exercise rider.

Page 32: breeders’ cup TurF

Grew up on the Churchill Downs backstretch learning his trade fromhis father, Jerry Romans, who passed away in 2000 … Credits hisfather with having the greatest influence on his career. “The biggestthing he ever taught me – the racetrack is a small world. Donʼt cheatanybody if you want to survive.” ... Says he also learned from watchingother trainers at Churchill Downs, particularly Don Winfrey, GregFoley, Angel Montana and Bernie Flint. “I watched the people [trainers]at the gap, watched what theyʼve done right and what theyʼve donewrong, and taken a little bit of good from all of them,” he said.

In addition to working for his father, Romans worked for Hall of Fame•

trainer Woody Stephens for four months. He took out his first trainerʼslicense at age 18 and saddled his first winner on Feb. 15, 1987 atTurfway Park with a filly named Miss Mindy, whom he bought for$1,500. He also scored his first stakes win at Turfway with MorningPunch in the 1991 Florence Stakes.

Romansʼ preparations of Sharp Humor for the 2006 Kentucky Derbywas a focal point of the documentary “The First Saturday in May.”

Has won more than 1,660 races with career earnings of more than$80.7 million.

Co-Owner

Michael Tabor ... Born: Oct. 28, 1941 in the East End of London ...Residence: Monte Carlo, Monaco and Barbados ... Family: wife Doreen;son Ashley is chief executive of the Global Talent Group, a musicpublishing, artist management and rights ownership business with a $10million turnover.

Quick facts about Michael Tabor:

Tabor will return to the Breedersʼ Cup in 2013 with plenty ofconfidence behind Declaration Of War in the Classic, a race targetedever since Tabor and Coolmore partners purchased him last summerfrom the yard of French trainer Jean-Claude Rouget after two races asa juvenile in 2011. During a busy seven-race campaign in 2013, thecoltʼs two Group 1 successes came in the Queen Anne Stakes atRoyal Ascot and the International Stakes at York. His trainer, AidanOʼBrien, says Declaration Of War reminds him of 2000 Breedersʼ CupClassic runner-up Giantʼs Causeway, who was bred by Tabor and wasfoaled at Ashford Stud near Lexington before racing in Ireland andEngland. Giantʼs Causeway, now standing at Ashford, was championsire in 2009 and 2010.

Having won four of the five English Classics in 2012, theTabor/Coolmore team had to settle for just two of the five in 2013.Ruler Of The World (Ire) progressed from being an unracedthree-year-old to land the Epsom Derby in less than two months and asecond English Classic came courtesy of Leading Light (Ire) (StLeger). Other G1 successes were recorded by St Nicholas Abbey (Ire)(Coronation Cup and Dubai Sheema Classic) and Magician (Ire) (Irish

2000 Guineas).

Tabor returned to Dubai to start the season in 2013 with St NicholasAbbey, who had won the 2011 Breedersʼ Cup Turf and finished third inthe same race in 2012. Having finished runner-up in the DubaiSheema Classic (G1) in 2012, the six-year-old went one better in acracking renewal which saw no fewer than six Group/Grade 1 winnersin the field of 11. And Tabor/Coolmore also tasted success for thesecond year in succession in the UAE Derby (G2) with Lines Of Battle,who had failed to fire when equipped with blinkers for the first time inthe Breedersʼ Cup Juvenile Turf.

His love of American racing is long-held. He won the Kentucky Derby,Belmont Stakes and Travers Stakes in 1995 with his first equinesuperstar, the Wayne Lukas-trained Thunder Gulch, who was thenretired to stud at Ashford in Lexington, Ky. and sired dual classicwinner and Horse of the Year Point Given. Tabor was out of luck in139th Run For The Roses in 2013 when Lines Of Battle, racing on dirtfor the first time, finished 14th to Orb.

Tabor purchased an interest in No Nay Never after he landed theNorfolk Stakes (G2) at Royal Ascot for trainer Wesley Ward and thejuvenile son of Scat Daddy kept his undefeated record intact with astylish victory in the Prix Morny (G1) at Deauville in Aug. 2013. No NayNever was bred in Kentucky by Jayne D. Johnson and David Sparrow,and is owned by the partnership of Susan Magnier, Tabor, and DerrickSmith.

Havana is likely to represent Tabor in the Breedersʼ Cup Juvenile,•

Page 37: breeders’ cup TurF

having earned $300,000 of his $575,000 purchase price for Tabor,John Mangier and Derrick Smith, when taking the FoxwoodsChampagne at Belmont Park (G1) on Oct. 5. It was the son ofDunkirkʼs second start for trainer Todd Pletcher.

War Command, whom Tabor owns in partnership with Joseph Allen,Susan Magnier and Derrick Smith, gave his sire War Front a 14thGroup/Grade 1 winner when landing the Dewhurst Stakes atNewmarket on Oct. 12, 2013.

Taborʼs association with Pletcher has produced numerous victories inAmerica. The 2012 Champion Two-Year-Old Male Shanghai Bobby,who is owned by Tabor in association with Starlight Racing, Mrs. JohnMagnier and Derrick Smith, won his first start in six months at BelmontPark on Sept. 20 in the listed Aljamin Stakes, putting himself incontention for a place in either the 2013 Breedersʼ Cup Sprint or theDirt Mile before it was discovered he had injured a ligament during thevictory. Shanghai Bobby, unbeaten in five starts at two, including theBreedersʼ Cup Juvenile, was competing in a sprint for the first timesince winning the Hopeful (G1) in 2012. He will stand at CoolmoreʼsAshford Stud in Kentucky in 2014.

Verrazano, owned by the partnership of Letʼs Go Stable, Tabor, Mrs.John Magnier and Derrick Smith, gave Pletcher his third HaskellInvitational (G1) at Monmouth Park in July 2013 by 9-3/4 lengths, thelargest winning margin in the raceʼs 46-year history. It was the sixthsuccess in seven lifetime starts for the three-year-old son of MoreThan Ready, who previously landed the Wood Memorial (G1) atAqueduct.

Tabor is looking to land the Breedersʼ Cup Juvenile Turf for the thirdyear in succession in 2013, following victories with George Vancouver(2012) and Wrote (2011), both for trainer Aidan OʼBrien.

In 2012, Classic success came thick and fast for Tabor, and theCoolmore/Aidan OʼBrien team nearly ran the table. HomecomingQueen took the 1000 Guineas, Was the Epsom Oaks, Power the Irish2000 Guineas, and Camelot the English 2000 Guineas, Epsom Derby,Irish Derby, and was finally stopped with a runner-up finish in the St.Leger Stakes. Camelot is a son of Taborʼs Montjeu.

In 2012, when he had Camelot in the 2000 Guineas the same day asDaddy Long Legs in the Kentucky Derby, Churchill Downs was whereTabor chose to be, despite the difference in their chances. The thenundefeated Camelot won the Guineas.

Tabor started the 2012 in Dubai, with his 2011 Breedersʼ Cup Turfwinner St. Nicholas Abbey finishing second in the Dubai SheemaClassic (G1) and Daddy Long Legs winning the UAE Derby (G2).

Taborʼs So You Think (NZ) retired to stud duty in Australia in 2012, butfirst won two more Group 1 races for him – the Prince of WalesʼsStakes at Royal Ascot and the Tattersalls Gold Cup.

Other top horses of 2011 were Grade 1-winning juvenile Power (GB),and another Scat Daddy juvenile, Grade 3 winner Finale, trained byTodd Pletcher. Multiple Group stakes winner Await the Dawn alsoboosted the Tabor stable in Europe in 2011.

Misty For Me (Ire) won the Irish 1,000 Guineas and Tabor was inpartnership on another Irish classic winner in Treasure Beach (GB),who took the Irish Derby. Taborʼs had two exciting juveniles in 2011,including the unbeaten filly Maybe (Ire), and the promising Grade 2winner Daddy Long Legs, by Scat Daddy, whom he raced inpartnership with Jim Scatuorchio. He also partnered with Jim and FitriHay on Cape Blanco (Ire), who came to the United States in 2011 towin three Grade 1 events: the Manhattan, Arlington Million, and JoeHirsch Turf Classic, the former two putting away American championGio Ponti. Cape Blanco suffered an injury in the Turf Classic andretired to stud at Ashford Stud in Versailles, Ky.

In 2010, his star performers were both fillies: Lillie Langtry, who wonboth the Coronation Stakes and the Matron Stakes, and thetwo-year-old Misty For Me, who won the Moyglare Stud Stakes (G1)and the Prix Marcel Boussac (G1).

In the United States, his biggest moments of 2009 were provided byMan Of Iron, who won the Breedersʼ Cup Marathon; Munnings, whowon twice in Grade 2 company; and Dunkirk, who went close in theBelmont Stakes, finishing runner-up to Summer Bird. In Europe hewon the Irish 1,000 Guineas with Again and the Criterium Internationalwith Jan Vermeer.

Tabor was part of the unstoppable Aidan OʼBrien bandwagon in 2008,sharing in most of his 23 Group 1 victories. He also teamed up withtrainer David Wachman for three more wins in the highest company(two with Bushranger, one with Again).

Rags To Riches followed two Californian Grade 1 triumphs with victoryin the 2007 Kentucky Oaks (G1), before becoming the first member ofher sex in over a century to lift the Belmont Stakes (G1).

While Tabor still laments not joining Magnier on Holy Roman Emperor,the sire of his classic-winning filly Homecoming Queen, he and Smithowned Rags to Riches without Magnier as partner. Generally, though,all three own horses they race.

In 2005, Tabor was owner or part-owner of the winners of 10European Group 1 races, including three of the five British classics.His best horse was a son of Montjeu, Hurricane Run, who was boughtin June just before his Irish Derby and later notched a stunningsuccess in the Prix de lʼArc de Triomphe.

In 2002, High Chaparral won the English and Irish Derbys along withthe Breedersʼ Cup Turf, then repeated in the 2003 Turf in a dead-heat.Winning the English Derby in Taborʼs colors remains one of hisfondest racing memories.

The 2001 season saw Taborʼs colors carried to a Breedersʼ Cupvictory by Johannesburg in the Juvenile, while Milan won the St Legerand was runnerup in the Breedersʼ Cup Turf. In partnership with SusanMagnier, Tabor became champion owner in Britain for the first time.

Although not often listed as breeder, preferring the racing game tobreeding, Tabor did breed the sensational Giantʼs Causeway, who wasfoaled at Ashford Stud near Lexington before racing in Ireland andEngland. Giantʼs Causeway, now standing at Ashford, has been

Page 39: breeders’ cup TurF

champion sire in 2009 and 2010, and among the leading sires from2006-2008, and again in 2011.

1999 was a banner year for Tabor with 11 victories at the top level inEurope, most notably with Montjeu, who won the French and IrishDerbys and the Prix de lʼArc de Triomphe ... Montjeu continued hisbrilliant progress in 2000, winning in Ireland, France and England, buthe was outshone by stablemate Giantʼs Causeway, who won fiveconsecutive Group 1 races in England and Ireland. Giantʼs Causeway(owned in partnership with Susan Magnier) will be best rememberedfor his gallant runner-up effort in the 2000 Breedersʼ Cup Classic.

Entrepreneur provided him with his first European classic success in1997.

Taborʼs first equine superstar was the Wayne Lukas-trained ThunderGulch who won the 1995 Kentucky Derby, Belmont Stakes andTravers Stakes, then retired to stud at Ashford in Lexington, Ky. andsired dual classic winner and Horse of the Year Point Given.

His principal trainers are Aidan OʼBrien in Ireland, and Todd Pletcherin America. He also has horses in America with Simon Callaghan; inEngland with Jeremy Noseda, Gerard Butler, Michael Bell, PeterChapple-Hyam and Henry Cecil; in Ireland with David Wachman; andin France with John Hammond and Richard Gibson.

Among the top performers that Tabor has owned or co-owned oneither side of the Atlantic are Alexandrova, George Washington, HoldThat Tiger, Landseer, Left Bank, Lion Heart, Mozart, Oratorio, Scat

D a d d y , S o p h i s t i c a t , S o Y o u T h i n k ( N Z ) , M u n n i n g s ,Starspangledbanner and Yonaguska ... He is one of only four men tohave won both the Kentucky and Epsom Derbies as an owner.

It wasnʼt until 1994 that he started increasing his stable and became aleading buyer at yearling sales throughout Europe and North America,mainly in partnership with John Magnier and his Coolmore Studorganization. Their association rapidly became such a force inEuropean racing that they were able to challenge the dominance of theMaktoum family.

Introduced to John Magnier by mutual friend J.P. McManus, a fellowracing owner and investor, in 1994 when Tabor expressed an interestin racing in America. Among his first purchases with the help ofCoolmore was then-2-year-old Thunder Gulch, who won the KentuckyDerby the next year.

He has since invested heavily in the leisure industry, in 2006 sellinghis Next Generation fitness clubs business at a $30 million profit ...Part owner of the Sandy Lane Hotel in Barbardos with John Magnierand Derrick Smith ... He also has a sizeable stake in the VictorChandler internet gaming business and in 2009 bought heavily into thepub company Mitchell and Butlers, owners of the All Bar One andHarvester chains, with fellow Coolmore investor Derrick Smith.

Tabor started out as a ladiesʼ hairdresser, but decided the job was notfor him and he left after two years to become a settling clerk in abetting shop ... When he reached his mid-20s, he purchased twobetting shops of his own in High Wycombe ... These two shops grew

into a chain of 113 under the Arthur Prince banner. On Sept. 29, 1995, he sold the entire chain to Coral.

Quick facts about Derrick Smith:

Smith will return to the Breedersʼ Cup in 2013 with plenty of confidencebehind Declaration Of War in the Classic, a race targeted ever sinceMichael Tabor and Coolmore partners purchased him last summerfrom the yard of French trainer Jean-Claude Rouget after two races asa juvenile in 2011. During a busy seven-race campaign in 2013, theson of War Frontʼs two Group 1 successes came in the Queen AnneStakes at Royal Ascot and the International Stakes at York. His trainer,Aidan OʼBrien, says Declaration Of War reminds him of 2000Breedersʼ Cup Classic runner-up Giantʼs Causeway, who is nowstanding at Ashford and was champion sire in 2009 and 2010.

Four-time Group/Grade 1 winner Camelot (GB), who went close towinning an elusive Triple Crown at three, had a truncated 2013campaign. Last yearʼs 2000 Guineas and Derby winner ran just threetimes after recovering from a life-threatening bout of colic but wasturned over in the Tattersalls Gold Cup at 4-11 and then finished fourthin the Prince of Walesʼs at Royal Ascot in June when favourite. He wasretired in October 2013 to stand at Coolmore for the 2014 season.

Having won four of the five English Classics in 2012, the•

Smith/Coolmore team had to settle for just two in 2013. Ruler Of TheWorld (Ire) progressed from being an unraced three-year-old to landthe Epsom Derby in less than two months and a second EnglishClassic came courtesy of Leading Light (Ire) (St Leger). Other G1successes were recorded by St Nicholas Abbey (Ire) (Coronation Cupand Dubai Sheema Classic), Magician (Ire) (Irish 2000 Guineas) andWar Command (Dewhurst).

Galileo, Coolmoreʼs four-time champion sire, was responsible for fiveof the 12 Epsom Derby runners in 2013 and one of his sons, Ruler OfThe World, duly provided Smith and the current triumvirate ofCoolmore owners (along with John Magnier and Michael Tabor) with athird consecutive Derby after Pour Moi and Camelot, and record fifth intotal. He was unraced as a juvenile and did not make his debut untilApril.

St Nicholas Abbey gave Smith and his Coolmore partners a racerecord third consecutive success in the Coronation Cup (G1) at Epsomin June 2013. The six-year-old son of Coolmore stallion Montjeu tookhis career earnings to just under £5 million with his sixth success atthe highest level. He had started the campaign with victory in theDubai Sheema Classic (G1) which saw a brilliant tactical ride fromJoseph OʼBrien, as his mount beat five other G1 scorers, includingJapan Cup winner Gentildonna.

After the highs came a major low as St Nicholas Abbey suffered acareer-ending injury when fracturing a pastern during a piece of workin preparation for the King George VI & Queen Elizabeth Stakes inJuly, and underwent emergency colic surgery soon after. Sadly, the

Page 42: breeders’ cup TurF

weight-bearing pin inserted into his cannon bone broke in late Augustforcing surgeons to immediately remove it and place his leg in a cast.However, it is hoped he will make a full recovery for a stud career.

In 2013, Lines Of Battle, who had been beaten in the 2012 BreedersʼCup Juvenile Turf by stablemate George Vancouver, gave Smith andhis Coolmore partners a second successive victory in the UAE Derby(G2) at Meydan following the victory of Daddy Long Legs in 2012.

Smith/Coolmore saw George Vancouver follow up the 2011 triumph ofWrote in the Juvenile Turf. The son of 2008 Breedersʼ Cup Classicrunner-up Henrythenavigator sadly failed to build on that success in2013, racing without success three times at the top level in England.

The Aidan OʼBrien-trained War Command, whom Smith owns inpartnership with breeder Joe Allen, Susan Magnier and Michael Tabor,took the Group 1 Dewhurst Stakes on Oct. 12, 2013, giving a 14thGroup/Grade 1 success for sire War Front.

Camelotʼs 2012 Derby victory marked the 100th Group 1 triumph inwhich Smith has been involved. Prior to Camelot, Smithʼspurple-and-white silks had been carried by four previous Derbyrunners-up.

In 2012, So You Think (NZ) found his groove and won the TattersallsGold Cup (G1) and the Prince of Walesʼs Stakes (G1) before going offto stud in Australia in the summer.

Smith and partners bought Excelebration in the summer of 2011 andleft him with trainer Marco Botti, but in OʼBrienʼs hands this year he

has been a standout even when running up against the great Frankel.Second to that obstacle twice in 2012, Excelebration neverthelessgave Smith wins in the Prix Jacques le Marois (G1), Queen ElizabethII Stakes (G1), and Gladness Stakes (G3) and will compete in the2012 Breedersʼ Cup Mile.

Other 2012 highlights were wins by Was in the Epsom Oaks,Homecoming Queen in the 1000 Guineas, Power in the Irish 2000Guineas, and something to look forward to: 2-year-old Pedro the Greatin the Phoenix Stakes (G1).

Smith also owns shares in Australian sensation So You Think (NZ)with regular partners Magnier and Tabor, and in 2011 so did Malaysianowners Dato Tan and Tunku Yahaya. So You Think carried Smithʼssilks to victories in three 2011 Group 1 races: Tattersalls Gold Cup,Eclipse Stakes, and Irish Champion Stakes, while also finishingsecond in the Prince of Walesʼs Stakes (G1) and the Champion Stakes(G1), and fourth in the Prix de lʼArc de Triomphe (G1)

Part-ownerships in Cape Blanco and Fame And Glory were sold to Jimand Fitri Hay before Cape Blanco won three U.S. Grade 1 races in2011 and Fame And Gloryʼs 2011 Ascot Gold Cup triumph in Hayʼssilks.

In 2008, when Coolmore trainer Aidan OʼBrien went on a tear and won23 Group 1 races that year, he had a share in the winners of 12 ofthem, most notably the three-time top level scorer, Halfway ToHeaven.

Page 43: breeders’ cup TurF

In 2010, Smithʼs purple and white silks were carried to Group 1 winsby Cape Blanco (Ire), who won the Irish Derby and Irish ChampionStakes; Fame And Glory, winner of both the Tattersalls Gold Cup andthe Coronation Cup; and Joshua Tree, who landed the CanadianInternational.

Enjoyed a highly successful 2007 in the United States with two horsesowned with Michael Tabor – the Florida Derby (G1) winner, ScatDaddy (also owned with Jim Scatuorchio), and the remarkablefour-time Grade 1-winner, Rags to Riches, who followed up herKentucky Oaks success by becoming only the third filly to beat theboys in the Belmont Stakes … In Europe, in 2007, his biggest momentcame when Soldier of Fortune took the Irish Derby.

Other notable G1 victories have been provided by Excellent Art (StJamesʼs Palace Stakes), Simply Perfect (Falmouth Stakes) andAstronomer Royal (Poule dʼEssai des Poulains).

Celebrated the first Group 1 victory in his own purple and white colorswhen Simply Perfect won the Filliesʼ Mile at Ascot in Sept. 2006.

Wife Gay also is an owner; her major winners: Spectroscope, 2003winner of the Triumph Hurdle in England; Sharp Impact and Zarad, thefirst two home in the 2006 renewal of the Sandy Lane Gold Cup, the

richest race in Barbados; Gamut, the 2004 Grand Prix de Saint-Cloud(G1) and 2005 Princess of Walesʼs Stakes (G1) winner; and BlackJack Ketchum, who landed the Brit Insurance Novices Hurdle at theCheltenham Festival in March 2006.

Has since been a partnerin many top horses trained by Aidan OʼBrien in Ireland, such asGeorge Washington and Alexandrova, as well as G1 Irish Derby andG1 Prix de lʼArc de Triomphe winner Hurricane Run.

Smith, along with Tabor and Magnier, took over the pub companyMitchells and Butlerʼs in 2009, and invested in Britainʼs largest nursinghome operator, Barchester. While he didnʼt enter the British Rich Listuntil 2000, his investments have grown until he was #23 on the list in2011, with an estimated fortune of 550 million pounds.

Quick facts about John Magnier:

The European record for a yearling sold at auction was shattered onthe opening day of Book 1 of the 2013 Tattersalls October YearlingSale when the Galileo brother to Oaks runner-up Secret Gesture wassold to Magnier for 3.6 million guineas (about $6.08 million).

Declaration Of War is set to represent the Magnier/Coolmore team inthe 2013 Classic, a race targeted ever since “the lads” (as they areoften referred to by trainer Aidan OʼBrien), purchased him in 2012 fromthe yard of French trainer Jean-Claude Rouget after two races as ajuvenile in 2011. During a busy seven-race campaign in 2013, the sonof War Frontʼs two Group 1 successes came in the Queen AnneStakes at Royal Ascot and the International Stakes at York.

Having won four of the five English Classics in 2012, theMagnier/Coolmore team had to settle for just two in 2013. Ruler OfThe World (Ire) progressed from being an unraced three-year-old toland the Epsom Derby in less than two months and a second EnglishClassic came courtesy of Leading Light (Ire) (St Leger). Other G1

successes were recorded by St Nicholas Abbey (Ire) (Coronation Cupand Dubai Sheema Classic), Magician (Ire) (Irish 2000 Guineas) andWar Command (Dewhurst).

Galileo, Coolmoreʼs four-time champion sire, was responsible for fiveof the 12 Epsom Derby runners in 2013 and one of his sons, Ruler OfThe World, duly provided Magnier/Coolmore with a third consecutiveDerby after Pour Moi and Camelot, and record fifth in total. He wasunraced as a juvenile and did not make his debut until April.

St Nicholas Abbey gave Magnier and his Coolmore partners a racerecord third consecutive success in the Coronation Cup (G1) at Epsomin June 2013. The six-year-old son of Coolmore stallion Montjeu tookhis career earnings to just under £5 million with his sixth success atthe highest level. He had started the campaign with victory in theDubai Sheema Classic (G1).

St Nicholas Abbey suffered a career-ending injury when fracturing apastern during a piece of work in preparation for the King George VI &Queen Elizabeth Stakes in July 2013. Recovery has been arduous, butit is hoped he will be saved for stallion duties.

Lines Of Battle, who had been beaten in the 2012 Breedersʼ CupJuven i le Tur f by s tab lemate George Vancouver , gaveMagnier/Coolmore a second successive victory in the UAE Derby (G2)at Meydan following the victory of Daddy Long Legs in 2012.

The Magnier/Coolmore-owned George Vancouver, a son of 2008Breedersʼ Cup Classic runner-up Henrythenavigator, followed up the

Page 45: breeders’ cup TurF

2011 triumph of Wrote in the Juvenile Turf in 2012.

Magnier nearly came full circle when he almost took the first EnglishTriple Crown since his and Sangsterʼs Nijinsky II in 1970 with Camelotin 2012. Undefeated, the son of Montjeu blew through the 2000Guineas and Epsom Derby, and added the Irish Derby on his way toan unfortunate second-place finish in the St Leger Stakes. Magnierhas always been sporting, and brought Camelot back to run in the Prixde lʼArc de Triomphe, but he finished seventh, and was later found tobe suffering from life-threatening colic issues. he raced three times in2013, but suffered defeat as favourite in both the Group 1 TattersallsGold Cup and Prince of Walesʼs Stakes. Having been found lame onOct. 14, 2013, it was announced he would be to stand at Coolmore forthe 2014 season. camelot amassed four Group/1 victories and almost£2 million prize-money in a 10-race career.

Since Magnier installed Aidan OʼBrien as the master of Ballydoyle, hehas found new ways to top spectacular years with further unthinkablesuccesses. In addition to Camelotʼs exploits in 2012, the Coolmoreteam swept the rest of the classics with Power taking the Irish 2000Guineas, Homecoming Queen the 1000 Guineas and Was the EpsomOaks.

Magnier sent So You Think (NZ) off to stud duty at his CoolmoreAustralia farm in the summer of 2012, but first added the TattersallsGold Cup and the Prince of Walesʼs Stakes to the Choisir coltʼs Group1 tally. In Magnierʼs world, when one goes away, another comes on,as he won the Phoenix Stakes (G1) with juvenile Pedro the Great byhis stallion Henrythenavigator.

One of Magnierʼs top performers in 2011 was the Australian sensationSo You Think (NZ), whom he bought after the Choisir (Aus) colt hadwon six Group 1 races in Australia. He went on to win three moreGroup 1 races including the Irish Champion Stakes in 2011. CapeBlanco (Ire) lit up 2011 by winning three Grade 1 races in Americabefore retiring due to injury: Man oʼWar Stakes, Arlington Million, andJoe Hirsch Turf Classic.

Among the top-class performers Magnier has owned or co-owned areDylan Thomas, Yeats, Galileo, Henrythenavigator, Oratorio, Imagine,Montjeu, Hurricane Run, Rock of Gibraltar, etc.

Most of his horses run in the colors of his wife or those of MichaelTabor or Derrick Smith. In Ireland, they are mainly trained by AidanOʼBrien (no relation to Vincent OʼBrien) and Magnierʼs son-in-law,David Wachman; in England, they are mainly with John Gosden,Jeremy Noseda and Sir Michael Stoute; and in America they areprimarily with Todd Pletcher and recently, with Bob Baffert.

Magnier has built Coolmore up to the extent that he is now managingpartner of the Coolmore Castle Hyde and Associated Stud FarmsCompany, which is the worldʼs largest stud operation ... According toone independent authority, it now accounts for over 43 percent of theBritish and Irish stud market ... Irish Component: The Irish section ofthe company includes six other studs apart from Coolmore itself.Magnierʼs brother, David, is manager of the original family property,Grange Stud.

Coolmore Ireland stands 20 flat stallions (including Danehill Dancer,•

Page 46: breeders’ cup TurF

Galileo, Holy Roman Emperor, Peintre Celebre, High Chaparral, andRock of Gibraltar) and 11 jumps stallions ... American Component: ItsAmerican arm is based at Ashford Stud in Versailles, Ky., where afurther 12 stallions stand, including Munnings, Tale of the Cat, UncleMo, Scat Daddy, and Giantʼs Causeway. Henrythenavigator, whostood at Ashford in 2012, began standing at Coolmore Ireland in 2013.

Australian Component: During the Southern Hemisphere coveringseason Coolmore Australia, which is in New South Wales, is home toDuke of Marmalade, Dylan Thomas, Lookin At Lucky and seven othertop-class “shuttle” sires (the concept of “shuttling” sires for use in bothNorthern and Southern Hemisphere covering seasons was pioneeredby Coolmore) not to mention three stallions who reside in Australia allyear around including Encosta de Lago. ... Coolmore also has sires inJapan, New Zealand, Chile and Argentina.

Magnier served in the Irish Senate for a period in the late 1980s andhas been a member of both the Irish racing industryʼs two governingbodies, the Irish Horseracing Authority (IHA) and the Turf Club. Hewas nominated to the IHA in 1994 by order of the Minister forAgriculture having previously served for many years on itspredecessor, the Racing Board (also by Government appointment).

Magnier is a partner in the Sandy Lane Hotel in Barbados, and in theMitchells and Butler pub company with fellow investors Michael Taborand Derrick Smith.

Sangster died in 2004, but had long since dropped out of his businesspartnership with Magnier. In the mid-1990s, Michael Tabor began

investing in horses with Magnier, and later Derrick Smith. Most horsesare owned in a three-way partnership, but not all. When VincentOʼBrien retired, Magnier found other good judges to help pick outhorses at the sales, headed by Demi OʼByrne, Paul Shanahan andTim Hyde.

The partnership grouped a great trainer with a big capital investor anda breeding expert. They bought American blood, causing a big splashat the Keeneland sales, and dominated the European classics ...Initially, Coolmore was forced to sell its American-bred yearlingpurchases that went on to achieve great things on the racecourse,such as The Minstrel and Alleged, to finance further acquisitions. Butin 1982, Be My Guest gave Coolmore its first siresʼ championship andhe has been followed by Caerleon, Danehill, and most importantly ofall, the 14-time champion Sadlerʼs Wells. An era came to an end inApril 2011 when Sadlerʼs Wells died at the ripe old age of 30.

When Magnierʼs father, Tom, died suddenly in 1966, Magnier waswithdrawn from school at the age of 16 and plunged into managementof the familyʼs Grange Stud, County Cork ... Never afraid to take a risk,especially in the early days, he pulled off his first big coup in Oct.1971, buying Green God from David Robinson just two days before hewon the Vernons Sprint Cup. Vincent OʼBrien spotted Magnierʼs talentand installed him as manager when he bought Coolmore Stud inpartnership with Robert Sangster in 1975.

The Magnier family was well known in the south of Ireland for standinghigh-quality jumping stallions long before John was born. Operatingsince the 1850s, the Magnier name has been associated with a whole

Page 47: breeders’ cup TurF

sequence of top-class steeplechasing stallions, including Deep Run,who was champion jumping sire for the 14th successive year in 1993.

Although he started out as a farmer, albeit a very astute one, Magnieris reputed to make more money on the stock market now than he doesthrough his bloodstock interests ... For instance, in conjunction with

another powerful racehorse owner, J.P. McManus, Magnier spent over£100 million in acquiring a major shareholding in Manchester UnitedFootball Club. In May 2005, some five years later, the pair sold theirstake at an estimated £80 million profit when Malcolm Glazer, ofTampa Bay Buccaneers fame, bought the club ... The Sunday Timesestimates his Coolmore racing empire to be worth $200 million.

His numeroussecond-place finishes include the narrow loss to Tiznow by GiantʼsCauseway in the 2000 Breedersʼ Cup Classic and Henrythenavigatorʼsnear miss in the same race in 2008.

Going into the 2013 Breedersʼ Cup, OʼBrien had won eightGroup/Grade 1 races, including the Epsom Derby for a fourth time withRuler Of The World (Ire), who progressed from being an unracedthree-year-old to a Classic winner in less than two months. He alsowon a second English Classic with Leading Light (Ire) (St Leger).Other top-class victories included the Juddmonte International(Declaration of War), Queen Anne (Declaration Of War), CoronationCup (St Nicholas Abbey (Ire)), Irish 2000 Guineas (Magician (Ire)),Dubai Sheema Classic (St Nicholas Abbey (Ire)) and Dewhurst Stakes(War Command).

OʼBrien is currently locked in a battle with current champion RichardHannon for the British Trainerʼs title, which is decided on total prizemoney, rather than number of victories. Despite the relative paucity ofGroup/Grade 1 wins this season (in 2012 he notched 15 Group/Grade1 wins and 20 in 2011), OʼBrien, who last won the crown in 2008, isseeking his fifth such triumph.

His victory in the St Leger at Doncaster with 7-2 favourite LeadingLight, his fourth in the Classic, was OʼBrienʼs 217th Group/Grade 1success.

Stable star St Nicholas Abbey took his career earnings to just under £5million with a race record third successive victory in the Group 1Coronation Cup at Epsom in June. It was his sixth success at thehighest level. But the six-year-old Montjeu colt suffered acareer-ending injury when fracturing a pastern during a piece of workin preparation for the King George VI & Queen Elizabeth Stakes inJuly, and underwent emergency colic surgery soon after. Sadly, theweight-bearing pin inserted into his cannon bone broke in late Augustforcing surgeons to immediately remove it and place his leg in a cast.However, it is hoped he will make a full recovery for a stud career.

St Nicholas Abbey gave OʼBrien a seventh victory in the CoronationCup (G1). His first came with Yeats in 2005. That race was not nearlyas strong as the earlier Dubai Sheema Classic (G1) which saw abrilliant tactical ride from Joseph OʼBrien, as his mount beat five otherG1 scorers, including Japan Cup winner Gentildonna.

One of the few Europeans to earn success in the Breedersʼ Cup of2012, the same team in the same race and secured the same result asOʼBrien and jockey Ryan Moore combined with George Vancouver tofollow up the 2011 triumph of Wrote in the Juvenile Turf. The son of2008 Breedersʼ Cup Classic runner-up Henrythenavigator sadly failedto build on that success in 2013, racing without success three times atthe top level in England.

Lines Of Battle, who had been beaten in the 2012 Breedersʼ CupJuvenile Turf by stablemate George Vancouver, gave the yard asecond successive victory in the UAE Derby (G2) at Meydan followingthe victory of Daddy Long Legs in 2012.

In June 2013, Ruler Of The World, a son of four-time champion sireGalileo, became OʼBrienʼs fourth Epsom Derby winner followingGalileo, High Chaparral and Camelot. He was the first winner of theClassic to be unraced as a two-year-old since Commander In Chief in1993. He provided jockey Ryan Moore with a second victory in therace, following his success on Workforce in 2010.

Declaration Of War gave OʼBrien a third victory in the Group 1 QueenAnne Stakes with a scintillating performance at Royal Ascot and afourth success in the Group 1 International Stakes at York, earningimmediate quotes of 10-1 for the Breedersʼ Cup Classic. OʼBrien wentas far to say as the four-year-old War Front colt reminded him a lot ofhis previous International scorer Giants Causeway, who was touchedoff by Tiznow in the 2000 Classic.

Magician, a son of top-class Coolmore sire Galileo, handed OʼBrien arecord ninth Irish 2000 Guineas victory and the yardʼs sixth in sevenyears under Joseph OʼBrien, who was landing his third consecutivevictory in race. Magicianʼs easy victory at odds of 10-3, gave ownerSue Magnier a record eighth success in the mile Classic at theCurragh.

In what was arguably an otherwise frustrating season for OʼBrien,another Ballydoyle flag-bearer, four-time Group/Grade 1 winner

Camelot (GB), who went close to winning an elusive Triple Crown atthree, had a truncated 2013 campaign. Undefeated until thwarted byEncke in his bid to become the first horse since 1970 to win the TripleCrown in the St Leger at the end of his Classic campaign, he surviveda near-death experience after a major bout of colic. Last yearʼs 2000Guineas and Derby winner ran just three times in 2013 but was turnedover in the Tattersalls Gold Cup at 4-11 and then finished fourth in thePrince of Walesʼs at Royal Ascot in June when favourite. The decisionto retire him was made on Oct. 14, 2013 and he will stand at Coolmorefor next yearʼs breeding season.

While some of his older horses had a sub-par year, OʼBrienʼs juvenilesoffered plenty of hope for the future. Geoffrey Chaucer, a son ofMontjeu, provided OʼBrien with a 13th victory in the Group 2 BeresfordStakes at the Curragh, a race won in recent seasons by top-class SeaThe Stars and St Nicholas Abbey. Runner-up and stablemateOklahoma City subsequently took the valuable 7 furlong TattersallsMillions 2-Year-Old Trophy at Newmarket, while War Commandhanded OʼBrien his third Dewhurst Stakes (G1) victory at Newmarketon Oct. 12, 2013.

OʼBrienʼs son, Joseph, broke Mick Kinaneʼs 1993 record of 115winners ridden in an Irish Flat racing season when Marvellous won amaiden at Navan on Oct. 9, 2013. OʼBrien wasnʼt even born whenKinane set the record and looks set to earn a second successivechampion jockeys title.

Returning to the stratospheric heights of earlier years, in 2012OʼBrienʼs stellar feats included claiming the first four of the five English

Page 52: breeders’ cup TurF

Classics with Camelot (2000 Guineas and Derby), HomecomingQueen (1000 Guineas) and Was (Oaks). Camelot was the flag-bearer,with OʼBrien saying he was the best he had ever trained – high praisefrom the trainer of Galileo, Giantʼs Causeway, Rock of Gibraltar,Montjeu, etc.

Camelotʼs quest for the first English Triple Crown since Nijinsky II in1970, with a victory in the 2012 Irish Derby after winning the first twolegs (2000 Guineas and Epsom Derby), was beaten narrowly byEncke in the St. Leger by what many thought was a poor ride byJoseph OʼBrien. The loss also thwarted OʼBrienʼs attempt to be thefirst trainer ever to land all five English classics in a single season.

OʼBrien saddled his seventh Racing Post Trophy (G1) winner in 2012when Kingsbarns won under his son, Joseph, becoming one of theearly 2012 Epsom Derby favorites, but was forced to miss the 2013Epsom Classic after he developed a foot infection after tearing off ashoe in a routine gallop. He made a belated seasonal debut inSeptember, finishing a distant last of six to The Fugue in the IrishChampion Stakes (G1).

Pedro The Great , by Breeders ʼ Cup Class ic runner-upHenrythenavigator, provided OʼBrien with a record 12th victory in thePhoenix Stakes (G1) in 2012. OʼBrien has won this race, which heuses as a springboard to the following yearʼs classics, seven of the last10 years.

OʼBrien took over the training of Excelebration from Marco Botti in2012 and despite running second to Frankel twice, turned him into a

world-class miler. Excelebration won the Prix du Jacque le Marois (G1)and the Queen Elizabeth II Stakes (G1) as well as the GladnessStakes (G3) in 2012.

So You Think (NZ) headed to Australia for stud duty in 2012, but notbefore OʼBrien won two more Group 1 races from him – the Prince ofWalesʼs Stakes at Royal Ascot and the Tattersalls Gold Cup. OʼBrienadmitted it took a year and a half to “learn how to train him” andapologized to Australian fans for “making a mess of it” in 2011 withoverwork.

Imperial Monarch took the Grand Prix de Paris (G1) to add to OʼBrienʼsGroup 1 haul, and additional Group races were won in 2012 by DaddyLong Legs, Battle of Marengo, Declaration of War, Magical Dream, Up,Windsor Palace, and Furnerʼs Green.

The OʼBriensʼ home at Ballydoyle caught fire in late Sept. 2012, buteveryone got out without being hurt. The roof was seriously damagedthough and the house uninhabitable.

In 2011, OʼBrienʼs stellar feats included a second consecutive sweepof the first three places in the Irish Derby, with Treasure Beach,Seville, and Memphis Tennessee. In 2010, the finishers were CapeBlanco, Midas Touch, and Jan Vermeer. ... The win was OʼBrienʼsninth Irish Derby, and his sixth consecutive victory in the race, won inprevious years by Dylan Thomas, Soldier of Fortune, Frozen Fire,Fame and Glory, High Chaparral, Galileo, and Desert King.

OʼBrien won his 8th National Stakes (G1) in 2011 with Power, and also•

Page 53: breeders’ cup TurF

finished third with G2 winner David Livingston and fourth with FurnerʼsGreen ... Took first two positions in winning his fifth Irish OneThousand Guineas with Misty For Me, and Together second ... DaddyLong Legs gave OʼBrien a sweep of the top three in the 2011 RoyalLodge Stakes (G2), with Tenth Star second, and Wrote third.

OʼBrien won his 7th Irish Champion Stakes (G1) in 2011 with Aussiesensation So You Think (NZ), who was purchased by OʼBrienʼspatrons John Magnier, Michael Tabor, and Derrick Smith while ownersDato Tan and Tunku Yahaya retain partial ownership. ... OʼBrien alsowon the Tattersalls Gold Cup (G1) and the Mooresbridge Stakes (G3)with the five-year-old, finished a neck behind Rewilding in the Prince ofWalesʼ Stakes (G1), but fourth in the Prix de lʼArc de Triomphe (G1).

OʼBrien was the leading trainer at Royal Ascot in 2011 for the first timesince 2007, with four wins, two seconds and a third, including a win byFame and Glory in the Ascot Gold Cup (G1).

Completed a Grade 1 double at Arlington Park in 2011, when he wonthe Arlington Million with Cape Blanco (Ire) and the Secretariat Stakeswith Irish Derby (G1) winner Treasure Beach (Ire). Had previously wonthe Arlington Million with Powerscourt in 2005, and the Secretariat in2000 with Ciro. ... Other major North American wins: the Man oʼWarand Joe Hirsch Turf Classic with Cape Blanco in 2011; CanadianInternational in 2010 with Joshua Tree and 2002 with Ballingarry; andShadwell Turf Mile in 2007 with Aussie Rules and 2002 with Landseer.

Brought Master of Hounds to the 2011 Kentucky Derby, where hefinished a well-received fifth, and he returned to the United States in

the Belmont Stakes, where he finished tenth. Previously, OʼBrienentered Breedersʼ Cup Juvenile winner Johannesburg in the 2002Kentucky Derby, where he finished eighth behind War Emblem.

Took special pride in his son Joseph, 18, riding Roderic OʼConnor tovictory in the Irish 2000 Guineas (G1) for Josephʼs first classic win,and Maybe to victory in the Moyglare Stud Stakes (G1) for Ballydoylein 2011. Joseph added the Racing Post Trophy (G1) in Octoberaboard Camelot for Aidan as his first UK Group 1 victory.

Went to Dubai with three entries in 2011 for the first time since a riftbetween Coolmore and Sheikh Mohammed shortly after he sentPowerscourt to a fifth-place finish in the 2005 Sheema Classic (G1).The Ballydoyle horses finishes: fourth for Cape Blanco in the DubaiWorld Cup (G1); second and sixth, respectively, for Master of Houndsand Alexander Pope in the UAE Derby (G2). Returned to Dubai in2012 to win the UAE Derby with Daddy Long Legs.

In 2010, OʼBrien saddled 27 Group winners, 15 of them Group 1winners with each of the Australian import Starspangledbanner, IrishDerby winner Cape Blanco, Fame And Glory, Lillie Langtry and MistyFor Me each registering two top level triumphs … In 2009, OʼBrienʼsbest horses, Rip Van Winkle, Mastercraftsman and Fame And Glory,all fell prey to the awesome Sea The Stars on several occasions.

Bred Beethoven (Ire), 10th in the 2009 Breedersʼ Cup Juvenile, in thename of his Whisperview Trading Ltd, a partnership with wifeAnne-Marie.

In 2008, he enjoyed an astonishing season, becoming the first trainersince 1935 to sweep all five of the Irish classics. He also dominated inBritain, racking up a total of 23 Group 1 wins around Europe, leavinghim just two short of the world record for a calendar year. Highlightsincluded a third successive Ascot Gold Cup for Yeats and five Group 1victories in a row for Duke Of Marmalade. Yeats went on to win hisfourth Ascot Gold Cup in 2009 before retiring.

His 2001 season was nothing short of sensational, with victories inseven European classics, he won 22 out of the 78 Group 1 racescontested around Europe in 2001, meaning that he became the firstoverseas trainer to win the British trainersʼ title since Vincent OʼBrien in1977 with 20 victories from 99 runners and almost £3.4 million in prizemoney.

Through Oct. 10, 2013, he has 217 Group 1 wins in seven countries,and 54 Classic races. Desert King provided him with his first Group 1winner on the flat, in the 1996 National Stakes, and his first classicwin, in the 2000 Guineas.

Other Group 1 winners he has trained include Yesterday, Minardi,Spartacus, Sequoyah, Necklace, Black Sam Bellamy, Shahtoush,Sophisticat, Mozart, Saratoga Springs, Aristotle, Sunspangled,Landseer, Orpen, Fasliyev, Second Empire, Ciro, Hold That Tiger,Brian Boru, Powerscourt, Ad Valorem, Oratorio, King Charlemagne,Alexandrova and Holy Roman Emperor.

Aidan was runner-up in his first season at Ballydoyle, but won the Irishflat title in 1996, the youngest to ever do so. He finished third in 1997

but regained the title in 1998 and has won it every year since. ... Wasthe youngest to win the British champion trainer title in 2001, and thefirst overseas trainer to hold the British title since Vincent OʼBrien. Haswon the British title three more times: 2002, 2007, and 2008

Top horses from previous years include Rock of Gibraltar, who wonseven straight Group 1 events in 2002; Galileo, winner of the Englishand Irish Derbys in 2001; High Chaparral (Ire), winner of the 2002English and Irish Derbys; Dylan Thomas, winner of the 2006 IrishDerby who went on to land five Group 1 races, including the Prix delʼArc de Triomphe, the following year; Peeping Fawn; GeorgeWashington; Giantʼs Causeway; Scorpion; Hawk Wing; Johannesburg;Stravinsky and King of Kings (OʼBrien also bred Rock of Gibraltar inpartnership with his wife and father-in-law)

Backed by owners John Magnier and Michael Tabor of the CoolmoreGroup, he gradually cut back on his jumping string in the mid-1990ʼsand moved his flat horses to the famous Ballydoyle stables in Cashel,County Tipperary, former home of the previous great Irish trainer,Vincent OʼBrien, who is no relation.

He was champion amateur rider over jumps in the 1993-94 season …He has dominated Irish racing ever since, becoming champion jumpstrainer for each of the subsequent five seasons and his best jumper,Istabraq, won the Champion Hurdle in 1998, 1999 and 2000.

Breeder/Owner

Phipps Racing Stable ... Owner(s): Ogden Mills (Dinny) Phipps ...Born: Sept. 18, 1940 in New York City, N.Y. ... Residence: Palm Beach,Fla. ... Education: Yale University.

Quick facts about Phipps Racing Stable:

Ogden Mills “Dinny” Phipps leads the distinguished stable, whoseroots are in Wheatley Stable started in 1926 by his grandmother, Mrs.Henry Carnegie Phipps. His father, Ogden, was a prominent ownerand breeder, who raced in his own name. Dinny Phippsʼgreat-grandfather, Henry Phipps, was a childhood friend and businesspartner of Andrew Carnegie, and they made their fortunes together inthe iron and steel business in the 19th century.

Mrs. Phipps was the driving force behind Wheatley Stable until herdeath in 1970. Her top horse was Bold Ruler, a toughie on the trackand later a prominent stallion and sire of Secretariat. Ogden Phippsowned nine national or Eclipse Award champions, includingBuckpasser, Easy Goer and Personal Ensign. As Ogden Phippsapproached his late 80s, he wanted to make sure that his familycontinued its tradition in racing and began breeding in the name ofPhipps Stable. The stable is now owned by Dinny Phipps and hischildren. Daisy Phipps Pulito now assists her father with itsmanagement. The stableʼs long list of top horses includes Rhythm,Inside Information, Smuggler and Storm Flag Flying.

Point of Entry developed into one of Americaʼs top grass runners in2012 and carried the distinctive Phipps silks to a second-place finish in

the 2012 Breedersʼ Cup Turf at Santa Anita. The homebred 5-year-oldhorse is a son of Dynaformer. His grandam, Our Country Place, is afull sister to the great Maplejinsky and his dam, Matlacha Pass, is a fullsister to Pleasant Home, winner of the Breedersʼ Cup Distaff in 2005.Point of Entry won his first two starts of 2013, but was found to have acondylar fracture of the cannon bone of his left hind leg following hisvictory in the Manhattan (G1) on June 8. He underwent surgery,returned to training in late summer and is expected to run in the Turfagain this year.

The Phipps family had its first Kentucky Derby winner in 2013 whenOrb captured Americaʼs most famous race. The colt was bred andowned in partnership by cousins Dinny Phipps and Stuart Janney III.Through the years, Derby horses owed by members of the Phippsfamily had finished second twice (Easy Goer in 1989, and Dapper Danin 1965), and third (Awe Inspiring in 1989).”Itʼs really the culmination ofhorse racing and I am thrilled to be here today,” Dinny Phipps saidafter the Derby.Janney said: “I just couldnʼt be more delighted thatweʼre doing this together.”Orb was fourth in the Preakness and third inthe Belmont Stakes. He returned to the races with a third in theTravers (G1) at Saratoga, but finished last of eight in the Jockey ClubGold Cup (G1) and trainer Shug McGaughey said it was unlikely thathe would run in the Breedersʼ Cup Classic.

The Phipps Racing Stable has carried on the proud tradition of one ofThoroughbred racingʼs most successful and well-known families. FourEclipse champions have raced in Dinny Phippsʼ name: Smuggler,champion 3-year-old filly (2005); Storm Flag Flying, champion juvenilefilly (2002); Inside Information, champion older filly or mare (1995);

Page 59: breeders’ cup TurF

Rhythm, champion juvenile colt (1989). Inside Information wasinducted into Racingʼs Hall of Fame in 2008.

The stableʼs long list of graded stakes winners also includes Point ofEntry, Sightseeing, Pine Island, Good Reward, Pleasant Home,Educated Risk, Adjudicating, Mining, Lay Down, Intrepid Hero andMajestic Light. Horses running under the banner of Phipps Stable or inthe name of Ogden Phipps, Ogden Mills Phipps or Cynthia Phippshave made 44 Breedersʼ Cup starts and have produced sevenvictories.

In 2010, the Phipps Racing Stable scored an emotional victory atSaratoga when Persistently defeated defending Horse of the YearRachel Alexandra in the G1 Personal Ensign. It was the fourth victoryin that race for a Phipps horse trained by Shug McGaughey. DinnyPhippsʼ most exciting moments in racing were Rhythmʼs triumph in the1990 Travers and the Breedersʼ Cup victories by Personal Ensign inthe 1988 Distaff and Storm Flag Flying in the 2002 Juvenile Fillies.Personal Ensign, who concluded an undefeated, 13-race career withher narrow victory in the Distaff, was pensioned in 2006 at age 22. Shedied of natural causes on April 8, 2010.

The Phipps family has been a client of historic Claiborne Farm forthree generations, beginning with the Wheatley Stable of Gladys Mills

Phipps. Claiborne has raised all seven Breedersʼ Cup winners for thePhippses: Dancing Spree (1989 Sprint), My Flag (1995 JuvenileFillies), Personal Ensign (1988 Distaff), Inside Information (1995Distaff), Rhythm (1989 Juvenile), Storm Flag Flying (2002 JuvenileFillies) and Pleasant Home (2005 Distaff). Storm Flag Flying, aKentucky-bred filly by Storm Cat, was bred by the Phipps family andhas a lustrous Breedersʼ Cup heritage – her dam, My Flag, won theJuvenile Fillies, and her granddam, Personal Ensign, won the Distaff.In 2006, the Phipps stable sold the mare Supercharger in foal toMariaʼs Mon for $160,000. That 2007 foal, named Super Saver, wonthe 2010 Kentucky Derby Presented by Yum! Brands.

Dinny Phipps is a prominent figure in American racing. Among hisaccomplishments: Member, Board of Trustees, The New York RacingAssociation (Chairman from 1976 to January 1983); Chairman of TheJockey Club since 1983; Member and Trustee, Breedersʼ Cup Ltd.;Board member of the National Thoroughbred Racing Association from1998-2007.

Quick facts about Claude R. McGaughey III (goes by Shug):

In total, has won nine Breedersʼ Cup races, tied for second with BillMott behind D. Wayne Lukasʼ 19. With $9,685,560 he is seventh inpurse money won going into the 2013 Breedersʼ Cup. His 56 startersare seventh. ... Twice, McGaughey has won two Breedersʼ Cup racesin one day – in 1989, Dancing Spree won the Sprint and Rhythmcaptured the Juvenile. At Belmont Park in 1995, My Flag won theJuvenile Fillies and Inside Information the Distaff. Also, Heavenly

Prize, finished second in the Distaff. Won consecutive Breedersʼ CupMiles with Lure in 1992 and 1993. Won 2002 Juvenile Fillies withStorm Flag Flying, who went on to be named champion 2-year-old filly.Storm Flag Flying is out of My Flag, whom McGaughey trained to winthe 1995 Juvenile Fillies. Since My Flag is a daughter of PersonalEnsign, McGaughey trained a Breedersʼ Cup winner from threegenerations of the same female family.

In 2005, McGaughey pulled off a stunning upset in the Distaff, withPleasant Home, who won by 9-1/4 lengths at odds of 30-1.McGaughey decided to enter Pleasant Home after his star, Smuggler,was sidelined with a lung infection.

McGaughey realized a personal goal in 2013 when he was able to adda Kentucky Derby victory to his already impressive resume. Orb, bredand owned by his longtime clients, Stuart Janney and the PhippsStable, prevailed in the 139th running of Americaʼs most famous race.The Malibu Moon colt won by 2-1/2 lengths over a sloppy track atChurchill Downs. It was his fifth consecutive victory and followed atriumph in the Florida Derby (G1) at Gulfstream Park. Orbʼs streakended in the Derby: he was fourth in the Preakness and third in theBelmont Stakes. After a lengthy stay at the Fair Hill Equine Center inElkton, Md. where he recovered from the Triple Crown and resumetraining, Orb was third in the Travers (G1) at Saratoga. After the coltfinished last of eight in the Jockey Club Gold Cup (G1) on Sept. 28,McGaughey said it was unlikely that he would run in the 2013Breedersʼ Cup Classic.Orb was just the seventh Derby runner and firstsince 2002 for McGaughey, a native Kentuckian, who grew up inLexington. Though he had won many of Americaʼs important races

Page 62: breeders’ cup TurF

during his career, McGaughey had longed for a Derby win. “It meanseverything to me. Iʼve always dreamed of this day and it finally came,”he says. “Iʼm thrilled for the people who put in so much time on thishorse and, of course, Iʼm thrilled for me.”

Multiple Grade 1 winner Point of Entry, a stable standout the past twoseasons, finished second by a half-length to Little Mike in a thrillingfinish of the 2012 Breedersʼ Cup Turf. Point of Entry is headed back tothe Turf after a far different campaign in 2013. The 5-year-old son ofDynaformer won his first starts of the season, the Gulfstream Park TurfHandicap (G1) and the Manhattan Handicap (G1) on June 8, but wasfound to have a condylar fracture of the cannon bone in his left hindfollowing the Manhattan. Point of Entry underwent surgery and after arehab stint returned to training in late summer. After a timed workouton Oct. 5, McGaughey said he was optimisitic that the horse would beable to compete in the Breedersʼ Cup.While he is best known for hissuccess with dirt horses during his career, McGaughey has hit themajority of his high notes in 2012 and 2013 with turf runners Point ofEntry, Air Support, Data Link, Hit It Rich, Boisterous and HungryIsland. In 2013, five of McGaugheyʼs eight graded-stakes wins throughOct. 9 came on turf. The other three were earned by Orb. With Point ofEntry on the disabled list during the summer, Boisterous picked up aGrade 1 win in the Man oʼ War.McGaughey finished 2012 with 49victories and earnings of $6,275,649. By Oct. 9, he was on his way toeclipsing the 2012 purse earnings with $6,053,294.

Point of Entry is a Phipps Stable homebred, a son of Dynaformer outof Matlacha Pass, a Pleasant Colony mare. The colt showed promiseas a 3-year-old in 2011 and blossomed in 2012 with a five-race win

streak prior to the Breedersʼ Cup.

Through Oct. 2013, McGaughey had won more than 1,770 races in hiscareer for earnings topping $120 million. He stands 10th on the careerearnings list.

McGaughey was inducted into the National Museum of Racingʼs Hallof Fame on Aug, 9, 2004.

Has trained a total of nine champions: Easy Goer, Heavenly Prize,Inside Information, Personal Ensign, Queena, Rhythm, Smuggler,Storm Flag Flying and Vanlandingham. Inside Information wasinducted into the Hall of Fame on Aug. 4, 2008, joining two othermembers trained by McGaughey: Easy Goer and Personal Ensign.

McGaughey won the Eclipse Award as Outstanding Trainer in 1988, ayear in which his starters earned more than $8 million and won 15Grade 1 races. He was the leading trainer by winning percentage inNew York in 1987, 1988 and 1989. Honored by the New York TurfWriters Association with the Outstanding Trainer Award for both 1988and 1993. He also was honored with the New York ThoroughbredHorsemen Associationʼs C.V. Whitney Achievement Award for 1993.

One of his career highlights was his handling of Personal Ensign, whowent 13-for-13. She was the first major horse in 80 years to goundefeated and dramatically capped her career with a victory in the1988 Breedersʼ Cup Distaff, edging Kentucky Derby winner WinningColors in one of the most thrilling finishes in Breedersʼ Cup history.Personal Ensign also was an outstanding broodmare and her foals

Page 63: breeders’ cup TurF

included graded stakes winners Minerʼs Mark, Our Emblem, My Flagand Traditionally. She was pensioned in 2006 and died of naturalcauses on April 8, 2010.

McGaughey added to his trove of memorable victories on Aug. 29,2010 at Saratoga when the aptly named Persistently, bred and ownedby the Phipps Racing Stable, caught and passed reigning Horse of theYear Rachel Alexandra in the Personal Ensign (G1), named for theundefeated champion trained by McGaughey. It was the fourth victoryin the race for a Phipps horse trained by McGaughey, who has trainedfor the family since 1985. He won the race when it was called the JohnA. Morris in 1990 with Personal Business and 1995 with championHeavenly Prize. The race was renamed the Personal Ensign in 1999and McGaughey won in 2004 with champion Storm Flag Flying – agrandaughter of Personal Ensign – who defeated 2002 Horse of theYear Azeri. As a result, McGaughey has twice accomplished the rarefeat of winning a race named for one of the horses he trained whilebeating a Horse of the Year.

In 2009, McGaughey made a shrewd managerial decision with GoneAstray, skipping the Travers (G1) for the Pennsylvania Derby (G2).After the Dixie Union colt finished second in an overnight stakes atSaratoga, McGaughey decided that the Travers assignment might betoo tough and opted instead for the $1 million race for 3-year-olds aweek later. Gone Astray romped to a 9-1/4-length victory. Earlier in theseason, Gone Astray, whose granddam is Hall of Famer InsideInformation, finished third in the Withers (G3).

Dancing Forever, a graded stakes winner in 2008, finished third in the•

2008 Breedersʼ Cup Turf. Could be considered something of a miraclehorse, because he is the first foal out of Dancinginmydreams, a fullsister to Heavenly Prize, who broke down in the 2000 Frizette.Dancinginmydreams was sent to the New Bolton Center aftershattering her right rear pastern. She spent 13 months at theUniversity of Pennsylvaniaʼs facility before being released.

In 2006, his 3-year-old filly Pine Island was a contender for the divisiontitle after Grade 1 victories in the Alabama and Gazelle. The secondchoice in the wagering for the Distaff, she suffered a catastrophic leginjury entering the backstretch at Churchill Downs and waseuthanized.

McGaughey won 13 Grade 1 races with five different horses in 1989,including the Belmont Stakes with Easy Goer. He won nine Grade 1races in 1995.

Won an unprecedented five stakes races in one day on Breedersʼ CupPreview Day at Belmont Park on Oct. 16, 1993: Grade 1 Jockey ClubGold Cup (Minerʼs Mark); Beldame (Dispute); and Frizette (HeavenlyPrize); and Grade 3 Kelso Handicap (Lure); and Lawrence Realization(Strolling Along). Of the seven horses McGaughey entered on thatcard, six were winners (Regal Solution won an allowance race).

Trained Coronadoʼs Quest to win five consecutive stakes during his3-year-old campaign in 1998, including the Haskell Invitational (G1)atMonmouth and the Travers (G1) at Saratoga.

Quick facts about Kenneth L. and Sarah K. Ramsey:

After being absent from the Breedersʼ Cup in 2012, 2013 has been aphenomenal year for Ramsey Farm homebreds. On Aug. 17, AdmiralKitten won the Secretariat Stakes (G1), Big Blue Kitten took the SwordDancer Invitational Stakes (G1), and Real Solution topped off the daywith a victory in the Arlington Million (G1). All three are homebred sonsof Kittenʼs Joy. Enjoyed another big weekend Oct. 5 and 6 when WeMiss Artie and Bobbyʼs Kitten became their third and fourth winners ofa Breedersʼ Cup “Win and Youʼre In” race with victories in theBreedersʼ Futurity (G1) and Pilgrim Stakes (G3), respectively.

Other notable runners for the Ramseys in 2013 include StephanieʼsKitten, who won the Just a Game Stakes (G1), as well as gradedstakes winners Dark Cove, Hyper, and Kittenʼs Dumplings.

With their homebred contingent running so well, the Ramseys havebeen at the top or near the top of the leading owner and leading

Page 68: breeders’ cup TurF

breeder lists by money earned. Their foundation stallion, Kittenʼs Joy,has also been at the top of the leading general sire list.

The Ramseys ran away with the title of top owner at Saratoga thisyear. They set a record number of wins in one meet (22), whileamassing $1.7 million in earnings.

The Ramseys earned their first Breedersʼ Cup trophy on their 11thattempt when Furthest Land, a former claimer, won the Dirt Mile (G1)in 2009. Now retired, the gelding is currently in training fordressage/eventing. In 2004, the Ramseys had to settle for runner-upfinishes by Roses in May in the Classic (G1) and Kittenʼs Joy in theBreedersʼ Cup Turf (G1).

When homebred Stephanieʼs Kitten captured the 2011 Breedersʼ CupJuvenile Fillies Turf, it gave the Ramseys their second trophy in theBreedersʼ Cup World Championships. The talented runner is currentlyat Ramsey Farm to recover from bone soreness, but is slated to run in2014, perhaps at Royal Ascot.

Ken Ramsey had turned down an offer to sell Stephanieʼs Kitten – whois named for one of his granddaughters – shortly before her breakoutwin in the 2011 Darley Alcibiades Stakes (G1) at Keeneland.

The Ramseys were named the National Owner of the Year and theNational Breeder of the Year at the 27th annual Thoroughbred Ownersand Breeders Association awards dinner in 2012.

They have been the dominant owners in the win category at Kentuckytracks for the past decade. The Ramseys won their tenth leading

owner title at Keeneland during the 2012 Spring Meet. Though theRamseys are the all time leading owners at Churchill Downs by wins,they campaigned more aggressively in New York in 2012 and were theleading owners at the Belmont Park spring/summer meet with 11victories.

The Ramseys won 16 stakes in 2011 en route to earning their secondEclipse Award for Outstanding Owner, having notched their first in2004.

The Ramseys have more than 100 horses in training with varioustrainers, including Wayne Catalano, Mike Maker, and Wesley Ward.They also maintain a string of horses in Europe and are looking toexpand internationally.

Ramsey Farm, home to Kittenʼs Joy as well as the Ramsey broodmareband, is approximately 1,400 acres. The farm also features “KittenʼsSpa,” which has an underwater treadmill with whirlpool jets that can beheated in cooler weather and a vibrating platform that has asolarium-esque heat lamp above it. Although originally built to keepKittenʼs Joy fit, it is now used for any horse on the farm. Kittenʼs Joystill gets first dibs, and Stephanieʼs Kitten is currently second in lineeach morning.

After heavily supporting homebred stallion Kittenʼs Joy with their ownmares, the Ramseys have been rewarded with phenomenal successwith his stud fee climbing to $50,000 for the 2013 season. It isexpected to rise for 2014.

Kittenʼs Joy is a son of the Ramseyʼs foundation mare, Kittenʼs Firstwho also produced Grade 1 winner Precious Kitten and stakes winnerJustenuffheart, dam of champion and 2006 Breedersʼ Cup JuvenileFillies winner Dreaming of Anna. Kittenʼs First foundered and waseuthanized in Jan. 2006.

Portions of Ramsey Farm have been operated by various leadingThoroughbred and Standardbred breeders for more than 100 years.The Ramseysʼ initial purchase, the former Almahurst Farm, was thebirthplace of 1918 Kentucky Derby winner Exterminator andStandardbred legend Greyhound.

Ken Ramsey was five when his family took a Christmas shopping tripto Louisville, Ky. and he saw the Twin Spires through the back gate ofChurchill Downs. During his real estate heyday in the 1970s, hedeveloped his passion for horse racing by attending Keeneland,

Churchill Downs, River Downs or any track that was open.

Ken Ramsey first entered racing in 1969 by claiming Red Redeemerfor $1,500 at the now-closed Miles Park in Louisville; the horse wasblind in one eye and never won again. Ramsey initially gave up racinginterests in the mid-1980s to concentrate his capital on acquiring thecellular franchises, but got back into the industry after selling hisbusiness.

A graduate of the University of Kentucky by way of the GI Bill, Ramseywas a trucking industry executive before turning to real estate in the1970s and then to cellular telephone network franchising in the 1980sprimarily along Interstate 75 in northeastern Georgia and southeasternKentucky. He sold the cellular business, valued at $39 million, in 1994and bought historic Almahurst Farm near Lexington, renaming itRamsey Farm.

Quick facts about Chad Brown:

On Aug. 17, 2013, Brown accomplished an impressive Grade 1 turfdouble, winning the Sword Dancer Invitational Handicap at Saratogawith Big Blue Kitten and the Arlington Million at Arlington Park withReal Solution. The Arlington Million victory came on the disqualificationof The Apache for bumping in the stretch. “It was an incredible day forour stable. One of those days that youʼll never forget,” Brown says.“Hopefully we can do it again at some point in time.” The SwordDancer and the Arlington Million were “Win and Youʼre In” races andboth horses qualified for the Breedersʼ Cup Turf.

Real Solution and Big Blue Kitten head a lineup of nearly a dozenhorses that Brown could have at the 30th Breedersʼ Cup in 2013.Candidates for that group include Bobbyʼs Kitten and Shadow Bankingfor the Juvenile Turf; Testa Rossi. Ready to Act, Granny Mcʼs Kittenand Kitten Kaboodle in the Juvenile Fillies Turf; and Easter Gift in theDirt. Last Gunfigther is being considered for the Dirt Mile and theMarathon and Summer Applause is a possibility for the Distaff.Bobbyʼs Kitten won the Pilgrim (G3) and Testa Rossi won the MissGrillo (G3) at Belmont Park and Kitten Kaboodle won the Jessamine(G3) at Keeneland, all “Win and Youʼre In” races, giving Brown fiveautomatic qualifiers.

Brown won with the first Breedersʼ Cup horse he started, Maram in the2008 Juvenile Fillies Turf. She died in Sept. 2012 at age six of whatwas called “an acute illness.” In 2009, Maram finished sixth in the Fillyand Mare Turf and Silver Timber finished sixth in the Turf Sprint. SilverTimber was back the following year, finishing fifth in the same race. In2011, Brown had three Breedersʼ Cup starters: Dayatthespa in theJuvenile Fillies Turf (G2, 9th), Stacelita in the Filly and Mare Turf (G1,

Page 71: breeders’ cup TurF

10th), and Fantastic Song in the Juvenile Turf (G1, 10th).

Brown is from Mechanicville, a small city with a population of 5,196 in2010 on the banks of the Hudson River about 17 miles southeast ofSaratoga Springs. He grew up going to historic Saratoga Race Coursewith his family and became interested in horses and the sport. To thisday, Brownʼs father heads to the same picnic table in the backyardevery time he goes to the track; Brown occasionally joins him there tohandicap his horsesʼ races, taking advantage of the more relaxedatmosphere.

While in high school, Brown began working with harness horses atSaratoga Raceway. He took the next step toward what has becomehis career by spending his college summers and the year following hisgraduation from Cornell working for Hall of Fame trainer ShugMcGaughey. “I grew up breaking and training Standardbreds,” hesays, “but always wanted to be with the Thoroughbreds. I liked the wayShug won big races, and he had so many good, quality horses; I waslucky enough that he took me in when I approached him. I started outhot-walking, then grooming and worked my way up to a foreman.”

Brown then spent five years working for another Hall of Famer, the lateBobby Frankel, splitting his time between southern California andSaratoga. He went on to oversee Frankelʼs divisions in Kentucky,Monmouth Park and Gulfstream Park and got hands-on experienceworking with Frankel-trained luminaries such as Ghostzapper,Intercontinental, Empire Maker, Ginger Punch, and Medaglia dʼOro. “Iwas at the point where I needed to grow into an assistant, and Shugʼsoperation was smaller and there was no room for that,” he said. “Going

to work for Bobby was the best thing that ever happened to me. I gotto deal with so many good horses and so many good owners. He sentme everywhere – Hollywood Park, Santa Anita, Monmouth Park, andChurchill Downs. I learned so much from him, it was like the graduateschool of racing. It was really hard to leave. I talked to him about it andtold him the only way I would go was if he was willing to help me. Itʼsfitting that one of the last things I did was to saddle Ginger Punch towin the Breedersʼ Cup Distaff [at Monmouth in 2007, when Frankelstayed in California with his terminally ill dog]. Iʼd been there allsummer, and I was really close to that mare. Iʼm honored that Bobbytrusted me with her.”

Brown went out on his own in Nov. 2007, shortly after the BreedersʼCup. His first winner came later that month at Churchill Downs: DualJewels, in a $10,000 claimer. Dual Jewels was claimed from Brownʼssmall stable in that race. Brown made the move after getting married,when he decided it was time to return to New York on a morepermanent basis. His wife, Terrill, also is from New York; sheʼs thegranddaughter of trainer William “Red” Terrill.

In 2008, his first full year of training, Brownʼs initial application for stallsat Saratoga was turned down. He did land a few stalls before the meetstarted and won with his first starter at his home track – with StarPlayer in the first race on opening day. That year he picked up his firststakes winners, all in listed stakes. Brown got his first graded stakeswin in July 2009 when Silver Timber won the Jaipur (G3) at BelmontPark. Silver Timber also won the Woodford Stakes (G3) in Oct. 2009.

Silver Timber continued to be the big horse in Brownʼs barn through•

Page 72: breeders’ cup TurF

2010, winning four stakes races, including a repeat in the Woodford.

The 2011 season was Brownʼs breakthrough year: his stable reachedthe $5 million plateau in purse earnings and he won his first Grade 1 inJuly. Fittingly, that milestone came at Saratoga when Zagora capturedthe Diana, a race won by Bobby Frankel in 2001 and 2002. Brown saidat the time that the win was especially meaningful for that reason. Hewon three other Grade 1 races that year: the Beverly D. and FlowerBowl with Stacelita and the Gazelle with Awesome Feather.

In 2012, Brown got off to a hot start at Saratoga, holding the lead inthe trainer standings in the early part of the meet. He would eventuallyfinish second with 29 wins to Todd Pletcherʼs 36. This year also sawBrown start his first horse in a Triple Crown race when Street Lifefinished fourth in the Belmont Stakes. Street Life went on to win theCurlin at Saratoga; he was injured in the Travers Stakes andsubsequently retired.

Brown enjoyed a very successful Breedersʼ Cup weekend in 2012. Hesaddled Zagora to win the Fillies and Mare Turf; had a pair of secondswith Whatsdachanches in the Juvenile Fillies Turf and Noble Tune inthe Juvenile Turf; and Balance the Books was third in the JuvenileTurf. Zagoraʼs victory capped a championship season for which shereceived the Eclipse Award for outstanding Female Turf Horse. TheBrown-trained Stacelita won the 2011 Eclipse as the champion femaleturf horse.

The victories in the Arlington Million and the Sword Dancer have beenhigh points in a dynamic 2013 season in which Brown had won gradedstakes with 12 different horses by Oct. 9 ... One of Brownʼsbest-known runners in 2013 is Fox Hill Farmʼs Normandy Invasion, hisfirst Kentucky Derby starter. Normandy Invasion was second in theWood Memorial (G1) and was fourth in the Derby. Injuries have keptthe colt out the races since the Derby, but he is scheduled to return toBrownʼs stable in November.

Breeder

Bluegrass Hall ... Owner(s): Brad Kelley ... Born: Franklin, Ky. ... He's55 years of age. ... Residence: Franklin, Tenn., a suburb of Nashville. ...Family: Wife Susan; three daughters.

Quick facts about Bluegrass Hall:

Bluegrass Hall has four Breedersʼ Cup starters under its name andearned its first Breedersʼ Cup win in 2012 when D. WayneLukas-trainee Hightail captured the Juvenile Sprint, the coltʼs first winin nine starts to that point. Hightail was retired in early January afterfracturing a sesamoid while training.

Kelley owns Bluegrass Hall, a 200-acre property that was formerlyNelson Bunker Huntʼs Bluegrass Farm and is located in Lexington, Ky.across Versailles Road from Calumet Farm, which is adjacent toKeeneland Race Course. and Hurricane Hall, a 300-acre property inGeorgetown, Ky. Hurricane Hall was formerly the racing end of theoperation and Bluegrass was the breeding part. On May 3, 2012, itwas announced that historic 800-acre Calumet Farm had been sold tothe Calumet Investment Trust and the purchase price was estimated tobe between $36-$40 million. At that time it also was announced thatKelley, thought to be one of the trustees, would lease Calumet Farmfrom the trust. All of the horses from Hurricane Hall and Bluegrass Hallhave been relocated to Calumet Farm and in Feb. 2013, it wasannounced that Kelley would race as Calumet Farm rather thanBluegrass Hall. Kelley, however, continues to race in black and goldcolored silks of Bluegrass Hall.

The year 2013 put the notoriously reclusive Kelley into racingʼsforefront when his colt Oxbow captured the Preakness Stakes, a winthat gave Hall of Fame trainer D. Wayne Lukas his record 14th careervictory in a Triple Crown race. In May, Oxbow became the secondstraight Kentucky Derby starter for Kelley, finishing sixth in the first legof the Triple Crown. Multiple graded stakes winner Optimizer wasKelleyʼs first Derby starter in 2012, crossing the wire in 11th place.

Oxbow went on to finish second in the Belmont Stakes, but emergedfrom his fourth-place finish in the Haskell Invitational (G1) with aseason-ending ankle injury. It has not yet been determined if Oxbowwill return to the races as a 4-year-old.

Optimizer became Kelleyʼs first Breedersʼ Cup starter under theBluegrass Hall banner when he ran eighth in the 2011 Juvenile. Theson of English Channel was 11th in the 2012 Breedersʼ Cup Turf, butstarted his 2013 campaign with victories in the Colonel E.R. BradleyHandicap (G3) and Fair Grounds Handicap (G3). Optimizer has notraced since being eased in the Sword Dancer Invitational (G1) atSaratoga on Aug. 17.

Kelley has the majority of his horses in training with Hall of Fametrainer D. Wayne Lukas, but has recently sent others with trainersLarry Jones and Dale Romans.

Included in Kelleyʼs broodmare band is Grade I winner Runup theColors, purchased for $60,000 at the 2011 Keeneland Novembermixed sale. The A.P. Indy mare is the dam of graded stakes winnerRevolutionary, who finished third in the 2013 Kentucky Derby.

Quick facts about Calumet Farm:

With businessman Brad Kelley assuming control of the farm a yearearlier, Calumet had a return to classic prominence in 2013 when itscolt Oxbow captured the Preakness Stakes, a win that gave Hall ofFame trainer D. Wayne Lukas his record 14th career victory in a TripleCrown race. Oxbowʼs win was the eighth Preakness triumph forCalumet and the operationʼs first since 1968, which also was its lastprior classic win. “To put Calumet, who we all know that name, backon the front pages of the racing publications is very special,” Lukassaid after the Preakness. “Iʼm so happy for him just to have theopportunity to represent him.”

Oxbow went on to finish second in the Belmont Stakes, but emergedfrom his fourth-place finish in the Haskell Invitational (G1) with aseason-ending ankle injury. It has not yet been determined if Oxbowwill return to the races as a 4-year-old.

On May 3, 2012, it was announced that historic 800-acre CalumetFarm had been sold to the Calumet Investment Trust and thepurchase price was just under $36 million. At that time it also wasannounced that Brad Kelley would lease Calumet Farm from the trust.All of the horses from Kelleyʼs 300-acre Georgetown, Ky. basedHurricane Hall property and his 200-acre Lexington, Ky.-based

Bluegrass Hall have been relocated to Calumet Farm. In February2013, it was announced that Kelley would race as Calumet Farmrather than Bluegrass Hall. Kelley, however, continues to race in blackand gold colored silks of Bluegrass Hall.

Calumet was most recently represented in the Breedersʼ Cup as thebreeder of millionaire Switch, who is out of the graded stakes winninghomebred Antoniette. The Quiet American mare, sold for $150,000 asa yearling, won or placed in 15 graded stakes races. She finishedsecond in the Breedersʼ Cup Filly and Mare Sprint in both 2010 and2011.

Under Kelley, Calumet also revitalized its breeding program. The farmstood five stallions in 2013 including 2010 Melbourne Cup (Aus-G1)winner Americain. Included in Kelleyʼs broodmare band is Grade 1winner Runup the Colors, purchased for $60,000 at the 2011Keeneland November mixed sale. The A.P. Indy mare is the dam ofgraded stakes winner Revolutionary, who finished third in the 2013Kentucky Derby.

Kelley is a former stockholder in Churchill Downs Inc. and also ownedKentucky Downs, located in his former hometown of Franklin, whichsits on the border with Tennessee. Self-made man, who foundedCommonwealth Tobacco, producer of discounted cigarettes in 1990 ...Sold company in 2001 for $1 billion ... Invested in and owns 1.2 millionacres of land in Texas, Florida and New Mexico, which makes him oneof the 10 largest landowners in America.

Warren Wright Sr. used his financial genius to develop his familyʼs•

Page 78: breeders’ cup TurF

Calumet Baking Powder company, which was sold to General Foodsin the late 1920s for $40 million. Wright applied that same businessacumen to Calumet Farm, which he inherited in 1931 from his father,William Monroe Wright, converting Calumet from a prominentStandardbred farm to a legendary Thoroughbred racing and breedingoperation.

Wright guided Calumet through its “golden age,” from 1940 until hisdeath in late 1950 by making several key decisions, which included the1936 purchase of Bull Lea, who finished eighth in the 1938 KentuckyDerby but became the foundation sire of Calumetʼs breedingoperation, and the hiring in 1939 of eventual Hall of Fame trainers BenA. Jones and his son, H.A. (Jimmy) Jones, who together built Calumetinto a racing dynasty.

Upon Wrightʼs death his widow, Lucille Parker Wright, assumed controlof Calumet and continued with her second husband, Rear AdmiralGene Markey, to build upon its legacy until her death in 1982.

From 1932-1982, Calumet won two Triple Crowns (Whirlaway, 1941;Citation, 1948) and seven Kentucky Derbys (Whirlaway, 1941;Pensive, 1944; Citation, 1948; Ponder, 1949; Hill Gail,1952; IronLiege, 1957; Tim Tam, 1958; and Forward Pass, 1968 upon thedisqualification of Dancerʼs Image).

Calumet bred and raced 11 horses enshrined in the Racing Hall ofFame (Alydar, Armed, Bewitch, Citation, Coaltown, Davona Dale, RealDelight, Twilight Tear, Two Lea, Tim Tam and Whirlaway) and fournamed Horse of the Year (Whirlaway, 1941 and ʼ42; Twilight Tear,

1944, first filly voted Horse of the Year; Armed, 1947; and Citation,1948).

Calumet was the leading money-winning owner 12 times and was thefirst owner to earn more than $1 million in purse money in a singleseason (1947).

Following Lucille Markeyʼs death in 1982, Calumet passed to herdaughter, Bertha Wright, who hired her son-in-law, J.T. Lundy, to runthe farm. During this time, Calumet bred and raced (in partnership withJurgen Arnemann) Criminal Type (by Alydar), voted Horse of the Yearand champion older male in 1990.

The farm also bred 1991 Kentucky Derby winner Strike the Gold,which it sold as a 2-year-old.

In 1990, Alydar died in a suspicious stall accident and Calumetʼsfortunes began to unravel because of questionable business practices.Lundy eventually served a 4-1/2-year prison sentence for bank fraud,conspiracy and bribery convictions and was ordered to pay restitutionon more than $20 million in defaulted loans.

Calumet was sold at a bankruptcy auction in 1992 to Henryk deKwiatkowski for $17 million. de Kwiatkowski, a native of Poland, madehis fortune buying and selling used airplanes, then entered racing inthe mid-1970s. Prior to acquiring the Calumet name, he bred andraced under the Kennelot Stables banner.

He campaigned Horse of the Year Conquistador Cielo, champion fillyDe la Rose, Belmont Stakes winner Danzig Connection and stakes

Page 79: breeders’ cup TurF

winners Sabin and Stephanʼs Odyssey. He also raced the NorthernDancer horse Danzig, who was unbeaten in three starts and became aworld-class sire while standing at Claiborne Farm.

As owner, Calumet campaigned Breedersʼ Cup starters Lea Lucindaand Lech. Calumet bred 1997 Breedersʼ Cup Sprint winner Elmhurst,as well as nine other horses who have competed in the Breedersʼ Cup(Ad Valorem, Agnes World, Catrail, Lea Lucinda, Librettist, StellaMadrid, Strike the Gold, Switch and Wildly Special, who was bred inpartnership).

Elmhurstʼs second dam was champion Our Mims, who raced as a•

homebred for Calumet but was sold as part of the farmʼs dispersal. In2011, Elmhurst returned to Kentucky to reside at Jeanne MirabitoʼsOur Mims Retirement Haven near Paris. The gelding had been livingat Rocking Horse Ranch in California. Mirabito cared for Our Mims inher final years; the mare died in 2003 and was buried at Calumet.

de Kwiatkowski died in March 2003, with oversight and operation ofthe historic farm passing to a trust with his children as thebeneficiaries. Taking the most active roles of his seven children wereson Stephan and daughter Arianne.

Two already have Grade 1 wins this year: Traverswinner Will Take Charge and Hopeful Stakes winner Strong Mandate.With Grade 2 wins this year are Fast Bullet (True North Handicap) andSkyring (Dixie Stakes). All Cash, a maiden after four starts, was fourthlast out in the Bourbon Stakes (G3). Tour Guide owns two ungradedstakes wins.

Lukas has the most Breedersʼ Cup wins of any trainer in history with19, more than double the count of the next nearest trainer, Bill Mottwith 9. Lukasʼs Breedersʼ Cup earnings stand at $20,320,520, also themost of any trainer by more than $4 million. Since the first BreedersʼCup in 1984, Lukas has saddled 156 runners, also more than anyother trainer, and has had at least one entry in a Breedersʼ Cup raceevery year except 2007 and 2009. His first Breedersʼ Cup win came inthe 1985 Distaff with Lifeʼs Magic. His most recent was Hightailʼsvictory in the 2012 Juvenile Sprint. He trained one Classic winner, CatThief in 1999, and has been most successful with youngsters, saddlingfive winners in both the Juvenile and Juvenile Fillies. He also trainedfour Distaff winners, including Ladyʼs Secret, who won in 1986 andwas that yearʼs Horse of the Year.

In summary, Lukasʼs Breedersʼ Cup winners are Capote (1986),Success Express (1987), Is It True (1988), Timber Country (1994) and

Page 84: breeders’ cup TurF

Boston Harbor (1996) in the Juvenile; Twilight Ridge (1985), OpenMind (1988), Flanders (1994), Cash Run (1999) and Folklore (2005) inthe Juvenile Fillies; Lifeʼs Magic (1985), Ladyʼs Secret (1986),Sacahuista (1987) and Spain (2000) in the Distaff; Gulch (1998) andOrientate (2002) in the Sprint; Cat Thief in the 1999 Classic; Steinlenin the 1989 Mile; and Hightail in the 2012 Juvenile Sprint.

Lukas is part of Breedersʼ Cup history as an owner as well. Hepartnered with Overbrook Farm to campaign Grand Canyon, second inthe 1989 Juvenile, and with Overbrook Farm and Sugar Maple Farm torun Big Sur, off the board in the 1991 Juvenile.

Lukasʼs major clients have included the late San Diego Chargersowner Eugene Klein; Overbrook Farm; Beverly Lewis and her latehusband, Robert; Michael Tabor; David Reynolds; Rob Mitchell; TomVan Meter; Susan Magnier; and those with Lukasʼs Breedersʼ Cupcontenders this year, Robert Baker and William Mack (StrongMandate); Willis Horton (Will Take Charge); Ahmed Zayat of ZayatStables (Fast Bullet); and Brad Kelly of Calumet Farm (Tour Guide, AllCash, and Skyring).

Lukasʼs skill with horses began early. Raised on a 10-acre farmoutside Antigo, Wis., the second of three children, he raced his pony atthe Antigo County Fairgrounds. Even before he was in high school hebegan developing his skills in evaluating and buying horses. With hisfriend Clyde Rice, later a successful horseman himself and father oftrainer Linda Rice, Lukas bought mustangs headed to slaughter, brokeand trained them, and resold them at auction. He began his careertraining Quarter Horses and rose to the top, averaging more than $1

million in purse earnings annually and turning out 23 Quarter Horsechampions.

Lukas turned to training Thoroughbreds full-time in 1978. The firsthorse to put him in the national Thoroughbred spotlight was Terlingua,a daughter of Secretariat, one of 1978ʼs top juvenile fillies, andeventually the dam of super stallion Storm Cat. Terlingua gave Lukashis first stakes win, the Nursery Stakes in June 1978 at HollywoodPark. Less than a month later he earned his first graded win, the G2American Handicap with Effervescing, also at Hollywood. In 1980Lukasʼs career leapt forward when Hall of Fame trainer John Nerudsent him 3-year-old Codex to train for Tartan Farm. Codex not onlygave Lukas his first G1 win, the 1980 Santa Anita Derby, but also hisfirst win in a Triple Crown series, that yearʼs Preakness Stakes.

Codexʼs 1980 Preakness Stakes victory was the first of Lukasʼs record14 wins in Triple Crown races. Appropriately enough, it was anotherPreakness winner, Oxbox in 2013, who moved Lukas out of a tie withHall of Fame trainer James “Sunny Jim” Fitzsimmons as thewinningest trainer on the Triple Crown trail. Lukas has won theKentucky Derby four times, the Preakness six times, and the Belmontfour times. Among his Kentucky Derby winners is Winning Colors, oneof just three fillies to win the Run for the Roses. In one dominantstretch he won six straight Triple Crown races, starting with TabascoCatʼs victories in the 1994 Preakness and Belmont; continuing with asweep of the 1995 Triple Crown series with two different horses,Thunder Gulch in the Kentucky Derby and Belmont and TimberCountry in the Preakness; and ending with Grindstoneʼs victory in the1996 Kentucky Derby. The streak ended when Nick Zito won the 1996

Page 85: breeders’ cup TurF

Preakness with Louis Quatorze, but Lukas was right back in thewinnerʼs circle that year with Belmont winner Editorʼs Note.

Lukas has won the Eclipse Award as outstanding trainer four times(1985, 1986, 1987, and 1994) and was inducted into the Hall of Famein 1999. He became North Americaʼs all-time leading trainer byearnings in 1988 and was the first trainer to top the $100 million and$200 million marks in career earnings. As of Oct. 19, 2013, Lukasleads all trainers with $265,488,401 in purse earnings. He has 4,681wins and 7,410 placings from 27,525 starters, a 44 percentin-the-money performance. Lukas has trained 24 champions,including three named Horse of the Year: Ladyʼs Secret (1986),

Criminal Type (1990) and Charismatic (1999).

In addition to his success at the races, Lukas is known for mentoringassistants who also have gone on to successful, sometimes stellar,training careers: Todd Pletcher, Kiaran McLaughlin, Dallas Stewart,Mark Hennig, Randy Bradshaw, Mike Maker, George Weaver, BobbyBarnett, Gerald Butler, and Mike Marlow. His current and long-timeassistant is Sebastian Nicholl.

In July 2013, Governor Steven Beshear appointed Lukas to theKentucky Horse Racing Commission, succeeding Michael Pitino.

To see them finally get to see this is amazing. TheBreedersʼ Cup is for breeders.”

June 30, 2012 turned out to be a remarkable day for a small operationllike BryLynn, with horses bred by the farm winning two graded stakesraces at two different tracks.

The farmis home to about 40 mares, some of whom will be sold at Fasig-Tiptonand Keeneland this fall. “We want to stay at about 30,” Guillot said.“And our mares have had a ton of fillies.”

Moreno and Guillot embarked on a mission to acquire top-shelf maresand build a stellar broodmare band. In the years since, they havecertainly done so. The headliner of the broodmare band is Better ThanHonour, the dam of back-to-back Belmont Stakes winners Jazil andchampion Rags to Riches, who set a world Thoroughbred auctionrecord for a broodmare or broodmare prospect Nov. 2, 2008 when herprice soared to $14 million during the Fasig-Tipton November selectmixed sale in Lexington.

In addition to Better Than Honour, Maryfield, winner of the inauguralBreedersʼ Cup Filly and Mare Sprint in 2007 and the inaugural femalesprint Eclipse Award winner, was a $1,250,000 purchase at the 2007Fasig-Tipton November select mixed sale. Southern Equine alsopurchased Irish Cherry for $2.7 milllion to top the opening session ofthe 2008 Keeneland January horses of all ages [the highest price atthe Keeneland January sale since Desert Stormer, winner of the 1995Breedersʼ Cup Sprint (G1), sold for $3.6 million in 2002]. SouthernEquine was the leading buyer by gross at that sale, spending

Page 97: breeders’ cup TurF

$3,862,000 for 10 horses.

One of their earliest purchases was 2007 Breedersʼ Cup Juvenileninth-place finisher Salute the Sarge, who cost $300,000 at theBarretts March 2-year-old select sale. As a freshman, Salute the Sargewon or placed in four graded stakes and set a Hollywood Parktrack-record of :58.29 for five furlongs in his debut. He stood his firstseason at stud in 2009 at John T.L. Jones IIIʼs Walmac Farm nearLexington, Ky. and now stands at Red River Farm in Louisiana. He isnamed after Nick Hines, who served as Southern Equineʼs racingmanager for a number of years. Hines is now a bloodstock agent andappears on TVG.

Southern Equine scored its first G1 victory on Valentineʼs Day 2009,winning the Santa Maria Handicap with Santa Teresita at Santa Anita.They added another one in, the 2009 Darley Debutante Stakes at DelMar with Mi Sueno.

The operation also is adding their retired racemares to the broodmareband, including Champagne dʼOro and Mi Sueno. One of their firstracehorses, Show Me the Stage, also is on the roster.

The farm is home to about 40 mares, some of whom will be sold at•

Fasig-Tipton and Keeneland this fall. “We want to stay at about 30,”Guillot said. “And our mares have had a ton of fillies.”

“I love the game,” said Moreno. “I felt in order to be successful, wewere going to have to play at the highest level. Itʼs extremely difficult tomake money in this business, especially at the level where we weredoing it.”

Morenoʼs 10-year-old daughter Gabrielle (Elle) not only loves thegame too, but is an owner herself as GEM Racing Stable. Her ReneeʼsQueen ran seventh in the 2012 Breedersʼ Cup Juvenile Fillies.

Moreno owns and runs Dynamic Industries, Inc. (DII) an oil and gasbusiness based in Houston and Louisiana, as well as the MorenoGroup LLC, which encompasses both DII and other companies. In1998, Moreno purchased DII and under his leadership the companyhas transformed itself into a full-service construction company. DII hasgrown from a one dimensional offshore hookup company thatemployed 150 to a diverse and integrated full-service constructioncompany with over 2,000 employees, working in excess of 4,500,000man-hours per year, domestically and throughout the world. DII iscurrently operating and executing projects in Nigeria, Angola,Venezuela and Trinidad.

Quick facts about Eric J. Guillot:

Guillot will send out two horses in this yearʼs edition of the BreedersʼCup, three year old Moreno in the Classic and Teaks North in the Turf.Heʼs had six prior appearances in the Cup series. The first was withSalute the Sarge in the 2007 Juvenile, then Santa Teresita in theDistaff in 2008. Champagne dʼOro ran in three consecutive Cups – theJuvenile Fillies in 2009, then the Filly and Mare Sprint the following twoyears. Her fourth-place finish in 2010 was the trainerʼs best finish thusfar. He also saddled Reneeʼs Queen in last yearʼs Juvenile Fillies.

Guillot grew up near where retired Hall of Fame jockey EddieDelahoussaye also was raised. Had horses since he was five,graduating from ponies to show horses, where he showed ineverything from reining to halter events. He owned Quarter Horsesand started training Quarter Horse racehorses as a teenager with hisolder brother.

Took out his trainerʼs license in 1987 and trained on the California faircircuit Decided to move to the Los Angeles area to join the majorThoroughbred racing circuit and worked as an assistant to MikeOrman before going out on his own again. Trained Jens L. List Jr.ʼsSlew the Surgeon to win the 1992 Triple Bend Handicap G3 atHollywood Park after nursing the former claimer back to form after a

bowed tendon.

He was the private trainer for the List familyʼs Double Bar S Ranch inMoreno Valley, Calif. After Listʼs death and when Double Bar Stransitioned out of the Thoroughbred business to Quarter Horse andPaint racehorses in 1998, Guillot bought a pair of two-year-old fillies, ASlew Streak and Show Me the Stage, both by Slew the Surgeon, andmoved back to Louisiana. Show Me the Stage won 13 stakes andearned $679,053 ... Guillot moved his base of operations backCalifornia in 2006.

He and owner Mike Moreno established Southern Equine in 1998 andembarked on a mission to acquire top-shelf mares and build a stellarbroodmare band. In the years since, they have certainly done so. Theheadliner of the broodmare band is Better Than Honour, the dam ofback-to-back Belmont Stakes winners Jazil and champion Rags toRiches, who set a world Thoroughbred auction record for a broodmareor broodmare prospect Nov. 2, 2008 when her price soared to $14million during the Fasig-Tipton November select mixed sale inLexington. “The whole idea was to cherry-pick the mares,” said Guillot.“Youʼve got to be smart, and youʼve got to be patient.”

They also have been building the broodmare band from retired filliestheyʼve raced, including Champagne dʼOro, who won the G1 Test andG1 Acorn, and Mi Sueno, who won the G3 Sorrento and G1 DarleyDebutante in a four-race career. Show Me the Stage, one of Guilletʼsfirst trainees, also is on the broodmare roster.

Guillot, who has trained the winners of over $9 million in his career,•

Page 99: breeders’ cup TurF

topped the million dollar season earnings mark for the first time in2009, with his 44 winners banking just under $1.8 million. He scoredthe first G1 victory of his career on Valentineʼs Day 2009, winning theSanta Maria Handicap with Santa Teresita at Santa Anita, and addedanother one in September, the Darley Debutante Stakes at Del Marwith Mi Sueno ..

Southern Equine purchased the former Parrish Hill Farm nearLexington five years ago, and all the babies and mares are kept there.The yearlings are being broken at their training center in Louisiana.

Guillot is based at Santa Anita, and has about 20 horses in training,the majority of whom are youngsters. The first couple of full crops ofhomebreds are just reaching racing age. “The first year we had twohomebreds, then six, then nine, now 13,” he said. Three-year-oldMoreno is from the second homebred crop to race.

Moreno is a three-year-old gelding by Ghostzapper out of•

Dancinginthesunlight. Heʼs won two of 11 starts this year, with fiveseconds and a third. He took the G2 Dyer Stakes at Belmont in aromp, winning by seven, was third in the G2 Jim Dandy, and then ransecond in both the G1Travers [beaten just a nose] and G2Pennsylvania Derby. “He was a maiden in June, and now heʼs made$600,000,” said Guillot.

Six year old Teaks North, a turf specialist, was a $100,000 claim bySouthern Equine in August at Saratoga. “We got him in a three-wayshake,” said Guillot. “I didnʼt know a thing about him other than heʼdwon almost $1.3 million. Heʼs doing good. He ran a pretty good fifth forus [in the G2 John Henry Turf Classic at Santa Anita in September].He led until a sixteenth out and just got beat about two and a half. Heneeded that race.”

Guillot, who is known for being outspoken, is also well known forthrowing a great party that reflects his Louisiana hertitage, with gumbo,jambalya and other Cajun fare.

The studʼs next big success was a Sadlerʼs Wells colt out of Darara(dam of Dar Re Mi) who sold as a yearling for 3.4 million guineas and,named River Dancer, became a Group 1 winner in Hong Kong.

The broodmare band was then augmented by the 500,000 guineaspurchase, Crystal Spray, who produced the Filliesʼ Mile winner, CrystalMusic as well as Group 1-placed Tchaikovsky and the Group 2 winner,Dubai Success ... Rewilding, a two year younger half-brother to DarRe Mi, was sold for 500,000 guineas as a yearling to Godolphin andwent on to win both the Dubai Sheema Classic and the Prince ofWalesʼs Stakes in 2011.

Owner

Hronis Racing ... Owner(s): Brothers Kosta and Pete Hronis ... Born:Kosta: Feb. 24, 1959 in Delano, Calif. Pete: Oct. 19, 1963 in Delano,Calif. ... Residence: Delano, Calif. ... Family: Kosta: wife Stephanie; sonDemetri; daughters Hailey and Nia.

Quick facts about Hronis Racing:

Having owned horses only since 2010, Hronis Racing is pointingtoward the Breedersʼ Cup Filly & Mare Turf for the second year in arow with the multiple stakes winner Lady of Shamrock, trained by JohnSadler. Lady of Shamrock finished fifth last year as the first Hronishorse to compete in a Breedersʼ Cup race. In 2013, she won the SantaBarbara H. (G2) at Santa Anita. The filly was purchased privately forthe Hronis brothers by Sadler following her maiden victory at ChurchillDowns in Nov. 2011. Lady of Shamrock is scheduled to be sold at the2013 Keeneland November mixed sale shortly after the Breedersʼ Cup.

Hronis Racing also owns Vagabond Shoes, who earned a “Win &Youʼre In” berth to the Breedersʼ Cup Turf with a victory in the Del MarH. (G2). Vagabond Shoes also ran second in the John Henry TurfChampionship (G2) at Santa Anita. Bloodstock agent Hubert Guyrecommended Vagabond Shoes to Sadler, and Hronis bought thegelding for 100,000 Euros at the 2012 racing-age sale held in Francejust before the Prix de lʼArc de Triomphe.

As much as Kosta Hronis – like most owners – would like someday tosee his stable colors borne in the Kentucky Derby, he looks on theBreedersʼ Cup World Championships as the prime racing experience.

“The Kentucky Derby is just for 3-year-olds going a mile and a quarter,making it a very narrow opportunity,” he said. “With the Breedersʼ Cupyou have the best horses in the world competing in an extremelybroad-based experience – males, females, turf, dirt, long races, shortraces.”

Hronis Racing has 38 horses in training with California-based JohnSadler, including some unraced 2-year-olds. With Sadlerʼs guidance,they have been acquiring horses from many outlets, including yearlingand 2-year-old sales, private purchase, and from Europe, in an effortto have a balanced stable. Kosta Hronis names many of his horses forfamily members, including Brother Pete (named for his brother),Scooter Bird (named for his two daughtersʼ nicknames), and SophieʼsSecret (named for his mother).

Hronis Racing led owners at the 2013 Del Mar meeting by both winsand earnings. They also led owners by wins at Santa Anita for twoconsecutive winter meetings – 2011-2012 and 2012-2013 – and atBetfair Hollywood Parkʼs spring-summer meeting by wins in 2013.

Kosta Hronis founded the stable when claiming two horses in 2010and is its manager. His brother, Pete, is something of a silent partnerbecause he seldom can be found at the races, preferring to stay athome with the business while his brother travels to the races on anyoccasion one of their horses is running. Kosta Hronis began the stableas a family operation and continues to operate it that way, with his wifeand three children being involved as super fans.

Hronis, who was tipped off to John Sadler by a favorite usher near his•

Page 117: breeders’ cup TurF

personal box at Santa Anita feels lucky to have Sadler as his trainer.“The timing seemed to be just right for me, being a rookie and all, tofind some room in the Sadler barn,” Hronis says. He gives a lot ofcredit to Sadlerʼs assistant, Larry Benavidez, as well.

It all started one day at the races when Kosta Hronis told his brotherPete he wanted to buy a horse. Even though his brother wasnʼt tookeen on the idea, Kosta thought he could parlay good handicappingvibes into successful ownership. Thatʼs the way it began and Sadlerʼsinvolvement came next.

The brothers looked forward when they were youngsters to trips totheir grandparentsʼ home in Pasadena, Calif., not far from Santa Anita.A trip to the racetrack was always on the docket for the family. “Mybrother and I were always the first ones to the car when we went to

Santa Anita,” Kosta Hronis said. They always made their way to therail to watch the races.

Hronis Inc., a family operation in Californiaʼs San Joaquin Valley,began with raising table grapes in 1945 and has since added a citrusdivision dedicated to raising navel oranges. The operation isheadquartered in Delano, Calif., and covers several farms located inan area stretching from Visalia to the north of Delano to Bakersfield onthe south.

Though Hronis Racing is not in the breeding business at this time,Kosta did keep Caities Secret, their first winner. She is now abroodmare at Legacy Ranch in Northern California, with a 2013 filly byCindago and in foal to Lucky Pulpit.
