DUBAWI COLT CLOSESORBY IN STYLE AT i1.4M
By Emma Berry
The perfect finale to the 2016 Goffs Orby Sale was provided
when the standout of the Wildenstein family's yearling dispersal,
a Dubawi (Ire) colt out of Classic heroine Beauty Parlour (GB)
(Deep Impact {Jpn}), became the sole yearling to breach the
million-Euro mark when selling for i1.4 million to John
Ferguson.
"This has to be the pedigree of the year in Europe," said Henry
Beeby from the rostrum as he urged Ferguson to counter bids
from a Goffs representative standing alongside Joseph Allen
during a protracted bidding duel for the first foal of the 2012
G1 Poule d'Essai des Pouliches winner.
Beauty Parlour herself will come under the hammer during the
November Sale at Goffs when she will be offered in foal to
Kingman (GB) (Invincible Spirit {Ire}) in the concluding part of
the Wildenstein Stables Dispersal which is being handled by The
Castlebridge Consignment. As the Orby Sale drew to a close, her
Dansili (GB) half-sister (lot 471) drew a bid of i270,000 from
Geoff Turnbull of Elwick Stud--the owner of GI Arlington Million
winner Mondialiste (Ire) (Galileo {Ire})--and was swiftly followed
into the ring by Beauty Parlour's show-stealing colt (lot 472).
Heading for the door and his plane back to England as soon as
he signed the docket, Ferguson had time to issue the briefest of
appraisals of Sheikh Mohammed's latest acquisition, saying,
"Lovely horse, great pedigree, you know the rest." Cont. p2
FIRST-UP RUNNERS ADD SPICE UNDER THE
LIGHTS by Alan Carasso
Two of Australia=s most-beloved sprinters, the locally based
Chautauqua (Aus) (Encosta de Lago {Aus}) and Queenslander
Buffering (Aus) (Mossman {Aus}) add a world of intrigue to the
first Group 1 event of the new racing season at Melbourne=s
Moonee Valley Racecourse in Friday=s G1 Moir S.
Both talented runners represented their country with flying
colors on the international stage in 2015. Chautauqua put
together a streak for the ages late last term, finishing second in
the G1 Newmarket H. while giving away tons of weight in March
before a scintillating defence of his title in a soft-turf renewal
the G1 T. J. Smith S. at The Championships Apr. 2.
The popular gray gelding turned in yet another breathtaking
performance in the G1 Chairman=s Sprint Prize in Hong Kong
May 1, coming from no-man=s land to record a somewhat
improbable neck success. Cont. p10

SESSION TOPPERS
Goffs Orby cont.
And indeed the rest is self-explanatory for a colt by one of the
world's best stallions out of a Group 1 winner by the most
dominant sire in Japan. Throw into the mix an Australian
champion, Might And Power (NZ) (Zabeel {NZ})--a half-brother
to Beauty Parlour's dam--and you have a colt with international
appeal as a stallion prospect should he fulfill his genetic destiny
on the racecourse.
Joseph Allen may have been denied on the top lot of the day
but, signing in the name of White Birch Farm, he earlier had
managed to recruit the second-most expensive of the
Wildenstein yearlings, lot 461, a Dansili filly out of the G1 Prix
Maurice de Gheest winner Porlezza (Fr) (Sicyos {Fr}). The
hammer fell for the half-sister to G3 Prix de Cabourg winner
Pontenuovo (Fr) (Green Tune) at i360,000.

Goffs Orby cont.
International Presence Felt...
A strong start to the second session of the Orby followed by a
dramatic climax ensured that the sale as a whole saw a 2.5%
increase in turnover to i39,925,000 from 363 yearlings sold--10
fewer than last year and including the Wildenstein yearlings--for
a clearance rate of 84%. At i109,986, the average was up by 5%
and the median rose by 8% to i67,000.
The set of figures for the second day alone recorded turnover
of i19,238,000 for 174 horses sold at an average of i110,563
(+2.5%) and median of i60,000 (-3%). The 17 Wildenstein
yearlings fetched i2,726,000, selling at an average of i160,353
and median of i50,000.
As the sale concluded, Goffs Chief Executive Henry Beeby
commented, "Twelve months ago we were reflecting on a
remarkable Orby Sale with no
less than four yearlings
realising over i1 million. That
we have made proper
advances in both average and
median this year with a single
millionaire is testament to the
depth of the trade over the
two days which is also
highlighted by a very good
84% clearance rate."
He continued, "The most notable aspect of Orby >16 has been
the depth of the buying bench with our regular supporters from
Ireland, Britain, across Europe and further afield finding strong,
top-of-the-market competition from a number of new investors
from USA, the Far East and Australia following concerted and
proactive marketing campaigns by our international agents and
the team at Irish Thoroughbred Marketing. As we worked to
attract them, we did so safe in the knowledge that the catalogue
had advanced again as vendors continue to send us a greater
share of their best and those that did so reaped the reward of a
truly international sale. As ever, we are indebted to each and
every one for entrusting us with their yearlings and will only
redouble our efforts on their behalf with every sale to repay
their faith in the Goffs service."
Bolger Family To The Fore...
Outside the Wildenstein yearlings, a New Approach (Ire)
half-sister to five black-type performers all by Galileo (Ire),
including dual Group 3 winner Cuis Ghaire (Ire), was the
highlight of the main section of day two of the Orby Sale when
sold by breeder Jim Bolger from his Redmondstown Stud for
i675,000.
The new owners of lot 250 remain a mystery, with buyer Ross
Doyle stating simply, "She's a very nice filly with a fantastic
pedigree who has been bought for a partnership."
That pedigree includes three siblings who have all come close
to Group 1 glory, with the aforementioned Cuis Ghaire having
been runner-up in
the Irish 1000
Guineas while her
sisters Gile Na Greine
(Ire) and Scintillula
(Ire) were second in
the G1 Coronation S.
and G1 Moyglare
Stud S., respectively.
The list of well-bred
European fillies
heading towards the paddocks in Japan will eventually be
enhanced by lot 358, Mountarmstrong Stud's daughter of
Shamardal out of the top-class racemare Alexander Goldrun
(Ire) (Gold Away {Ire}), who was bought on behalf of Koji Maeda
for i600,000 by Hiroshi Fukuda.
"She'll be coming back to Japan and has been bought with the
long-term plan of breeding," confirmed the agent on his first
foray to Goffs.
Alexander Goldrun, a five-time Group 1 winner in four
different countries for Noel O'Callaghan, played a leading role in
last year's Orby Sale when her as-yet unraced Frankel filly, now
named Goldrush (Ire), sold to China Horse Club for i1.7 million.
Zayat Stables Declare Intent...
Members of the first crop of War Front's top-performing
European runner Declaration Of War have found favour this
week and none more so than lot 272, the first foal of the
Listed-placed winner Sleeping Beauty (Ire) (Oasis Dream {Ire}), a
daughter of the Irish 1000 Guineas winner Nightime (Ire)
(Galileo {Ire}). The bay colt will be following his father across the
Atlantic after being bought for i475,000 by Zayat Stables.
"I loved this colt," exclaimed Justin Zayat, who is enjoying a
first visit to Ireland and, in partnership with Justin Casse and
David Ingordo, added another four yearlings to his family's string
of horses in training for next season, including a Kodiac (Ire) filly
out of Alexander Queen (Ire) (King's Best) and from the family of
Dandy Man (Ire) (Mozar {Ire}) for i360,000.
Referring to the colt, Zayat added, "He'll come back to America
and will go into pre-training at Ocala while we decide who will
train him. This is the first Declaration Of War we've bought,
which is exciting, as he's obviously a son of War Front and we're
expecting big things from him." Cont. p4

Goffs Orby cont.
Another operation to put their faith in Declaration Of War was
Juddmonte, whose solitary Orby purchase was lot 438, the
second foal of G2 Rockfel S. runner-up Cochabamba (Ire)
(Hurricane Run {Ire}), bought from Clare Castle Stud for
i350,000.
"She's from a family Prince Khalid knows really well and is a
gorgeous filly," said Lord Grimthorpe of the filly who traces back
to top producer Peace (GB) and is closely related to one of the
better 2-year-olds of this season in Global Applause (GB)
(Mayson {GB}).
Back In Form...
Form Bloodstock returned to the fray after a successful first
session to buy a well-related colt from the final crop of High
Chaparral (Ire) (Lot 266) for i450,000.
The first foal of a winning half-sister to the Wertheimers'
champion miler Gold Away (Ire) (Goldneyev), the colt was bred
by his consignor David Nagle of Barronstown Stud who bought
his grandam Blushing Away (Blushing Groom) for 300,000gns
back in 2002.
"He's for Mary Slack and will likely be trained by Mike de Kock
back in South Africa but nothing is set in stone," said agent
Jehan Malherbe.
The same price was also given for Croom House Stud's
Shamardal colt out of Ashley Hall (Maria's Mon) (lot 383), the
dam of this year's Listed Windsor Castle S. third Pedestal (Ire)
(Invincible Spirit {Ire}) and a half-sister to GI Toyota Blue Grass S.
winner Bandini (Fusaichi Pegasus). The late April colt was the
pick of Charlie Gordon-Watson and he will race next year in the
silks of Sheikh Joaan's Al Shaqab Racing.
Fillies In Demand...
An early highlight in the session came when Roundhill Stud's
sister to dual Group 1 winner Rizeena (Ire) (Iffraaj {GB}) (lot 258)
went the way of Blandford Bloodstock's Richard Brown for
i410,000.
"I can't say who has bought her but he's a patient owner and
this filly will be more of a 3-year-old type. She's a tall scopey filly
and will be given plenty of time," Brown commented.
Bred by Bobby and Honora Donworth from the Statue Of
Liberty mare Serena's Storm (Ire), Rizeena was the star
performer in the final years of Clive Brittain's training career,
winning the G2 Queen Mary S. and G1 Moyglare Stud S. at two
before returning to Royal Ascot to land the following year's G1
Coronation S. for owner Sheikh Rashid Dalmook Al Maktoum.
Serena's Storm's half-brother Puissance De Lune (Ire)
(Shamardal) was exported to Australia where he won twice at
Group 2 level and now stands at Adam Sangster's Swettenham
Stud.
Wesley Ward will train lot 351, an
Invincible Spirit (Ire) half-sister to five
winners out of the Diesis (GB) mare
Zuniga's Date and consigned by
Owenstown Stud. Gatewood Bell signed
the ticket at i400,000 on behalf of her
new owners Jim and Fitri Hay and said,
"We were underbidder on a couple of
yearlings yesterday and there's been a
bunch of nice horses here. We've missed a
few times but we're very pleased to have
bought this one."
Horses In Training Bring Curtain Down...
An unusual hiatus between the Orby Sale and the two-day
Sportsman's Sale which starts today was provided by 41 horses
in training as the Wildenstein Dispersal continued at Goffs.
Dubawi again provided the leading light for this section when
unraced 2-year-old filly Pavini (Fr) (lot 478) sold from John Oxx's
stable for i600,000 to White Birch Farm. The daughter of G2
Prix de Pomone winner Peinture Rare (Ire) (Sadler's Wells) was
not the only member of the draft to be signed for by Joseph
Allen, with lot 493, Achibueno (Fr) (Dansili {GB}), also attributed
to White Birch Farm at i300,000.
Patrick Lawley-Wakelin went to i350,000 on behalf of Robert
Evans for Bengala (Fr), a 2-year-old daughter of Pivotal (GB) and
champion racemare Bright Sky (Ire) (Wolfhound).
"I loved her and so did Mr Evans," said the agent. "He really
liked her pedigree and the fact that she is inbred 3 x 3 to
Nureyev was the most important thing for us. She will stay here
in training with John Oxx and we hope that Pivotal will work well
with Tonalist down the road." Cont. p5

NOTHING BUT NETGoffs Orby cont.
Alan Quartucci of American-based Northshore Bloodstock
signed for three juvenile fillies from the dispersal headed by lot
511, Asterina (GB), a Dalakhani (Ire) half-sister to Listed winner
Akatea (Ire) (Shamardal) who fetched i270,000.
Fully 40 of the 41 horses in training offered were sold for a
total of i3,113,000 at an average price of i78,325 and median
of i40,000. This brought the
tally for the first half of the
Wildenstein Stables Dispersal
to i5,859,000 with the 57
horses bringing an average of
i102,789 and median of
i40,000.
Concluding his appraisal of
the sale, Henry Beeby said,
"Of course today had an
added dimension with the
first part of the Wildenstein
Stables Ltd Dispersal and we would like to again record our
thanks to David Wildenstein for choosing Goffs. We do not
underestimate the significance of our appointment and are
delighted to have generated so much interest in the iconic
pedigrees that came under the Goffs hammer today headed, of
course, by the sales top price of i1.4 million and then some
very lively bidding for the older horses that finished the day. We
look forward to Part 2 in November with a truly mouthwatering
collection of broodmares, fillies and foals; rarely is such a
superior selection of thoroughbreds offered for sale at public
auction and the Goffs Team is incredibly proud to do so in our
150th Year."

a sweet attitude and outlook to her. The pieces were in the right
places as far as I was concerned and she just had that athletic,
fluid swagger I like to see. Let's be honest--all of these horses will
look expensive and overvalued until they find the winners circle
but she seemed like one bought right to me. We were run down

Lanigan Relocating cont.
"It's fantastic news that we have managed to secure the lease
on Rathmoy," said Lanigan, referring to the move back to the
newly refurbished yard previously occupied by Neville Callaghan
and his son Simon, now a successful trainer in California. "The
work that has been carried out there is really truly magnificent.
There are 78 boxes and superb facilities so it couldn't be much
better. I'm hugely excited by the move. We've had a great time
at Kingsdown which is a wonderful yard and are grateful to Mr
Nielsen for his support over the years. What I also like is that is
that the yard is at the top end of the Hamilton Road making
access to Bury Side so much more convenient. I hope to be
there for many years to come."
Lanigan will be returning to his roots in Newmarket, where he
also previously worked for the late Sir Henry Cecil. He also
trained from nearby Revida Palace for over four years.
Added Alan Cooper, racing manager to the Niarchos Family,
"We are delighted that David has leased such a fantastic yard in
Newmarket and we wish him well. The Niarchos Family has
always been pleased to support David."
MULLINS SPLITS FROM GIGGINSTOWN HOUSE The world of National Hunt racing was rocked on Wednesday
morning when it was announced by Willie Mullins that he would
no longer be training for Gigginstown House Stud.
Ireland's perennial champion trainer, Mullins' dominance of
the sport is so great that he was nearly crowned the leading
handler in Britain last season and was only denied by Paul
Nicholls on the final day.
Gigginstown have been the growing force in the National Hunt
scene in recent years
and claimed the owners'
championship in Ireland
for the fourth time
during 2015-16.
However, the two
parties have agreed to
go their separate ways
after Mullins raised his
training fees and
Gigginstown, which is
run by Ryanair's Michael
O'Leary and his brother, Eddie, refused to pay the new rate.
Gordon Elliott, who trained Don Cossack to win the
Cheltenham Gold Cup for Gigginstown in March, will be one of
the trainers to benefit from the split.
Mullins told At The Races: "We're parting company--it's
basically over fees, I imagine. I put up my fees for the first time
in 10 years and Gigginstown chose not to pay them. That's it,
we're just parting company. I'm not willing to try to maintain the
standards I have [without putting the fees up], so that's the way
it is."
In a statement released to RTE Sport, Gigginstown said: "As
Gigginstown House Stud has been unable to reach agreement
with Willie Mullins on an increase in training fees, we have
agreed--with considerable regret--to move the Gigginstown
horses to alternative trainers for the coming 2016/17 season.
Gigginstown wishes to sincerely thank Willie and all the team at
Closutton for the many Grade 1 races we have won together
over the past seven years. We hope that an agreement can be
reached at some time in the future which will allow Willie to
resume buying and training more graded winners for us. While
we part at this time with regret, we wish Willie and all the team
at Closutton continued success."
The combination have enjoyed Cheltenham Festival success
with the likes of Sir Des Champs and Don Poli in previous years,
while Valseur Lido, Outlander and the hugely-promising Apple's
Jade all achieved big-race glory in the maroon and white silks
last term.
Of all National Hunt trainers on both sides of the Irish Sea,
though, Mullins is possibly best placed to cope with the loss of
60 horses.
His stable stars such as Annie Power, Faugheen and Douvan all
wear the pink and green colours of Rich Ricci, while Graham
Wylie can also look forward to the season thanks to Yorkhill,
Bellshill and others.
Mullins went on: "Everyone that comes into my yard is treated
the same. I see enough people going to the wall in Ireland all the
time. We've evolved our methods of training, which obviously
costs a lot, and we're not prepared to sacrifice that. They've
been very good to us over the years, they've bought some
fantastic horses and there's a fantastic team of horses going to
whoever is going to get them, I don't know where they are going
to go. It's only been in the last few hours this has come about. I
wish them the best, it's the way it is, we move on. Whoever gets
the horses will be a big challenge to me being champion trainer,
they are a fantastic team of horses. They'll be very hard horses
to replace. Even with all the money in the world, lots of people
try to buy horses like that, but sometimes they just happen.@
Paddy Power make Elliott their new favourite to be champion
trainer for the first time at 8-11, with Mullins available at evens.

SMOKEY LANE (IRE) (c, 2, Zebedee {GB}--Masela {Ire}, by
Medicean {GB}), third in the Listed Harry Rosebery S. over five
furlongs at Ayr last time Sept. 16, was considered the chief
threat to the G3 Solario S. third Eqtiraan (Ire) (Helmet {Aus}) as
the 3-1 second favourite and tracked that rival initially. While
that 1-2 market-leader drifted left, the 26,000gns TATOCT
yearling and 30,000gns TATHIT 2yo stayed straight and after
overwhelming him 150 yards out asserted to win by 1 1/4
lengths. The dam, who hails from an Aga Khan family of the G2
Gallinule S. winner Massyar (Ire) (Kahyasi {GB}) and the GIII
Arcadia H.-winning sire Madjaristan, also has a colt foal by
Bungle Inthejungle (GB). Lifetime Record: MSP-Eng, 8-2-2-2,

TOTAL STAR (GB) (c, 2, Pivotal {GB}--Millennium Star {Ire}, by
High Chaparral {Ire}), who earned a tilt at the G3 Solario S.
when winning his extended seven-furlong maiden at Beverley by
five lengths Aug. 10, could manage only ninth of 10 in that
Sandown feature 10 days later and was in need of a confidence
boost on the Polytrack. Sent straight to the head of affairs with
Euginio (Ire) (Fastnet Rock {Aus}) in close attendance, the 6-4
joint-favourite saw off that rival with a decisive kick in early
straight and only needed to be kept up to his work to win by 3/4
of a length from that other joint market-leader. The dam is a
daughter of Diamonaka (Fr) (Akarad {Fr}), the G2 Prix de
Malleret runner-up who is best known for her top-class miling
sire Diamond Green (Fr) and Prix de Malleret scorer and G1 Prix
Vermeille runner-up Diamilina (Fr) (Linamix {Fr}). This is the
family of Bauer (Ire) (Halling), with whom Cumani went so close
to winning the G1 Melbourne Cup, having won the G3 Geelong
Cup. Millennium Star also has a yearling colt by Dubawi (Ire) and
a filly foal by Lope de Vega (Ire). Lifetime Record: 4-2-1-0,

{SW-US, $183,988}, by Gold Legend), who scored in a six-
furlong maiden at York when last seen July 9, was sent off the
6-5 favourite going the Polytrack route favoured by Godolphin.
Settled last of the five early, the 15,000gns TATOCT yearling
and 210,000gns TATBRE 2yo was sent up the rail to gain the lead
approaching the furlong pole and held on to prevail by a neck
from Aventinus (Ire) (Zoffany {Ire}). The stakes-winning Kathy=s
Rocket is out of the Listed Delta Miss S. winner Franks Rocket

Buffering, winner of the Moir in 2012, 2014 and 2015, is now
nine years of age, and has an equally devoted fan following. He
padded an already considerable bankroll with wins in the Magic
Millions Sprint at the Gold
Coast in January before
upsetting a strong group of
internationals in the G1 Al
Quoz Sprint at Meydan in
March, the 20th victory of a
career which took him to
better than A$7 million in
earnings. He was well-
beaten behind Chatauqua in
the Chairman=s Sprint Prize,
but nearly broke the Doomben course record in a recent barrier
trial and this minimum trip should be right up his alley.

HEARTBREAK CITY SHOOTS FOR CUP Heartbreak City (Fr) (Lando {Ger}) is to be prepared for the G1
Emirates Melbourne Cup after Australian Thoroughbred
Bloodstock bought into the Ebor winner.
Original owners, Here For The Craic Partnership, have retained
an interest in the 6-year-old who will be trained for the 'race
that stops a nation' by his current handler Tony Martin.
Heartbreak City was allotted 117 pounds for the Flemington
showpiece on Nov. 1, when the new part-owners will hope to
win the showpiece event for the first time after near-misses
with Jakkalberry (Ire) (Storming Home {GB}) (third in 2012) and
Dandino (GB) (Dansili
{GB}) (fifth in 2013).
Confirmation that
Heartbreak City is heading
to Australia means the
Lando gelding will not run
in the Betfred Cesarewitch
at Newmarket on
Saturday week.
"An Australian group
have got involved, I don't
know what percentage,
but the original men are still very much there," said County
Meath-based Martin. AHe was in the Cesarewitch, he was in a lot
of things, but the intention is to set him qualified for quarantine
and send him for the Melbourne Cup. It's a handicap. He's in off
a racing weight and he has a right to be there."
Martin added: "As for who will ride him, the people out there
have put forward about six names in the frame. There's nothing
confirmed. We'll be listening to their advice and see how we go.
Our men are still very much involved. The intention is to go to
Melbourne and take it from there."

Everett >Powell County= Charles
Groom for Stone Farm, Paris, Kentucky
Nominator: Arthur Hancock
Everett Charles, known to his co-workers as >Powell County=
after the county in which he was raised, has worked at Stone
Farm since 1980. Since then, he has worked with horses at all
stages of life: foals, weanlings, two-year-olds, mares and
stallions. But his concern and care for the Ababies and mamas@
is what he finds most rewarding. His loyalty, passion, humility
and undeniable horsemanship are just a few reasons why Powell
deserves to be considered for this award. On the horses in his
care, Powell said, ATake care of them like you would your own
family because they are part of your family.@

Nominator: Wayne Lyster
ALeon has worked for Ashview Farm for more than 35 years,@
wrote Lyster in his nomination letter. AWhether it=s handling
mares and foals, breaking young horses or driving the van, Leon
has done it all. He=s been a mentor to countless people who
have worked under him and beside him. There is nobody you
would rather have there to help you than Leon. Simply put, Leon
has the best hands with a horse that I have ever seen; strong
and gentle.@
AIt=s a great honor to be chosen as a finalist out of so many
people. It=s really overwhelming for me to be a finalist,@ Leon said.
James Sebastian
Handler, mares and foals, Claiborne Farm, Paris, Kentucky
Nominator Walker Hancock
James Sebastian started at Claiborne Farm in May of 1966.
At 75, he is the oldest employee to work with the
thoroughbreds. AHis wealth of knowledge and experience means
we trust James to do the usual unusually well. He embodies the
characteristics required for a farm employee dedicated to
breeding excellence. We have a running joke that James must
hold the Guinness World Record for foals delivered--we
estimate around 10,000 in his lifetime,@ said Hancock.
AI love Thoroughbreds. I love everybody out here. The
Hancocks are about like my own family,@ said James.
The Dedication to Breeding Award is presented to an
individual farm employee who has shown talent in
Thoroughbred breeding horsemanship, consistency and
reliability in a farm role. They must have at least 10 years of
service in the breeding industry and must be pivotal in his or her
employer=s success. The top three finalists, plus a guest, are
invited to attend the ceremony Oct. 7 at Keeneland. The winner
receives $10,000 and a trophy, and the runners-up win $2,500.

TOUGHEST 'OMBRE (c, 3, Tale of the Cat--True Sensation
{MSW, $308,486}, by Itaka) showed an immediate affinity for
the turf, breaking his maiden at fifth asking in his first try over
the surface at Tampa Bay Downs Mar. 4. Seventh in Aqueduct=s
Woodhaven S. Apr. 23, the bay set the pace and held on to be
fourth at 101-1--beaten less than a length--in the GIII Pennine
Ridge S. here June 4. He found 10 furlongs to be too far when
12th in the July 9 GI Belmont Derby, and recently carved out the
fractions before fading to fifth in a nine-panel off-the-turfer at
the Spa Aug. 14. Removing blinkers here as a 7-1 shot, the
Maryland-bred secured an ideal spot in midpack as a trio of
leaders tussled through a swift half-mile in :45.61. Put to a drive
on the turn, Toughest >Ombre uncorked a prolonged rally on the
rail and forged to the front in the final furlong to triumph by 3/4
of a length over Cave Johnson (Broken Vow). The winner=s dam
won three stakes races and has a weanling colt by Line of David.

HIGHWAY STAR (f, 3, Girolamo--Stolen Star {MSP, $210,544},
by Cat Thief) won her first two starts over this strip May 30 and
July 13, respectively, and traveled north to Saratoga to finish
fourth over a grassy mile in the New York Stallion Series S.
Aug. 11. She made a move for the lead and leveled off to check
in third going nine panels in the Fleet Indian S. at the Spa Aug.
26. Prominent from the outset as the even-money favorite, the
chestnut chased the pace from the outside through a half-mile
in :47.18 and moved closer on the turn. Gaining control in upper
stretch, she edged clear to post a 2 3/4-length victory over
Tahoe Tigress (Stephen Got Even). Lifetime Record: SP, 5-3-0-1,

HAMPTONS HOLIDAY (c, 2, Harlan's Holiday--Charlotte's Rose,
by Street Cry {Ire}) rallied from well back to finish third in a
5 1/2-furlong dash at Saratoga July 28 and closed into a slow
pace to report home second when extended to seven furlongs
there Aug. 29. Adding blinkers here, the bay raced at the front
of the second flight behind a quarter-mile in :22.46 and began to
advance along the rail on the turn. The colt quickly took second
turning for home, set sail for the tiring pacesetter and moved
clear to score by 1 1/4 lengths. First-timer Sicilia Mike
(Girolamo) closed well up the rail to complete the exacta. The
winner sold for $90,000 as a Fasig-Tipton Saratoga yearling and
progressed to go for $165,000 as an OBS April juvenile. His
second dam is GISW Island Sand (Tabasco Cat). Lifetime Record:

CASHCONSIDERATIONS (f, 3, Super Saver--Latin Lynx, by Forest
Wildcat) finished fourth on debut going six furlongs at Saratoga
Aug. 17 and recently set the pace and faded to check in a distant
third in a nine-panel off-the-turfer at the Spa Aug. 26.
Surprisingly allowed to drift up to odds of 5-1 from her 5-2
morning-line quote for a barn that excels with turf runners, the
dark bay tracked the pace in a tight spot between horses
through a half-mile in :50.08. Patiently handled as the field
cornered for home, Cashconsiderations shifted outward to find
a clear path and finished with a flourish to score by a length over
pacesetter Town Fair (Speightstown). The winner, a $230,000
KEESEP yearling, is a half to GI Alfred Vanderbilt H. winner Sean
Avery (Cherokee Run), GISW, $398,640; W W American (Quiet
American), SP, $153,039; and Ingrid (Gemologist), an impressive
first-out maiden winner at Saratoga Aug. 24. Lifetime Record:

BUTTON MY BUTTON (f, 3, Colonel John--Encore Saritta {SP,
$131,379}, by Consolidator) made moderate headway to finish
third on debut sprinting five furlongs over the turf at Delaware
July 21 and was hammered down to 6-5 favoritism for this first
try over a synthetic track. Racing in midpack behind a quarter-
mile in :22.64, she made steady progress on the far turn and
closed up the rail to win going away by 5 3/4 lengths. Yes Sir Mr.
Kato (Mr. Katowice) won a photo for second. The winner=s dam
is also responsible for an unraced juvenile colt named Downhill
Racer (Jump Start), a yearling colt named Colonel Moorhead

+WILL CALL (c, 2, Country Day--Vote Early {SW, $230,512}, by
More Than Ready) worked steadily in preparation for this career
debut at Churchill Downs, culminating in a bullet five-furlong
gate breeze in 1:00 flat (1/14) Sept. 21. Pounded down to 1-2
favoritism for a barn that has enjoyed considerable success at
this meet, the bay pressed the pace from the outside through a
quarter-mile in :22.88, shook clear on the turn and romped
home 13 1/4 lengths in front. Fellow first-timer
Chocolateicecream (Wilburn) finished second best. Will Call is
the first winner for his freshman sire (by Speightstown), who
also campaigned as a Klein homebred. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0,

in midpack on the outside behind a half-mile in :49.14 and
rallied to notch a 1 1/2-length victory over Sumamatada
(Mutadda). Lifetime Record: 2-1-0-1, $19,580. Click for the
