KEENELAND REINSTATESAPRIL SALE, ANNOUNCES
SEPTEMBER FORMAT
Keeneland will reinstate its April Sale in 2019, as one of three
changes to its sales calendar announced Thursday. The April
auction, last held in 2014, will be staged as a one-day sale of 2-
year-olds in training, as well as horses of racing age. Dates for
the preview and sale will be announced at a later date.
AKeeneland=s April Sale produced a number of champions and
Classic winners, including 2017 champions Lady Eli and Roy H in
its final edition in 2014,@ Keeneland Vice President of Racing and
Sales Bob Elliston said. AHorsemen are very supportive of the
sale returning this spring, and we are excited to expand the
auction from previous years by offering a limited number of
horses of racing age.@
Keeneland also announced the format for its upcoming
September Yearling Sale. Book 1 of the auction, which was one
session in 2017, will be held Monday through Thursday (Sept.
10-13) this year and will include approximately 1,000 yearlings

FIRST HORA CONSIGNMENT FOR
CLAIBORNE By Christie DeBernardis
Claiborne Farm will take a shot at selling racehorses with a
strong group of 11 making up the operation=s first consignment
at the Fasig-Tipton July Horses of Racing Age Sale Monday. The
prestigious farm will offer one of their own horses, six Phipps
Stable homebreds, two horses from Waterford Stable and two
owned by Bass Stables.
ADaisy [Phipps] came to us earlier in the spring and said she
needed to sell some horses,@ Claiborne President Walker
Hancock said. AThat is how it started and we began going
through [her stock]. Daisy, Shug [McGaughey], Bernie [Sams],
my dad and I went through and figured out which ones would
be good candidates to sell, in order to cut down the number of
racehorses she has. Steve Young gave us four more to sell [for
Waterford Stable and Ramona Bass] and we are adding one of
our own, so that rounds out the consignment.@ Cont. p3

Keeneland cont. from p1 Keeneland introduced a bonus structure tied to its one-session
Book 1 in 2017. With the longer Book 1 section in 2018, the
bonus will not be applicable to graduates of the sale this year.
AKeeneland engages in an ongoing dialog with our clients to
collect their feedback and adapt our sales formats to meet the
>market of the moment,=@ Elliston said of the changes. AThe
market is fluid from year to year, and our primary goal is to
create a sales environment that will produce the best results for
our sellers and buyers.@
Finally, Keeneland announced it will open its November
Breeding Stock Sale with an exclusive Book 1 session to be held
Monday, Nov. 5.
AThe Breeders= Cup World Championships are at Churchill
Downs the weekend before the November Sale begins, so what
better way to continue the excitement than to host a select
Book 1 on opening day,@ said Keeneland President and CEO Bill
Thomason.
The entire November Sale schedule will be announced later.
Claiborne F-T Consignment cont. from p1
The Phipps portion of the consignment boasts six males with
big pedigrees, a few of which are stakes quality runners. Out of a
daughter of Hall of Famer Personal Ensign, Fire Away (War
Front) (hip 443), who is a 6-year-old half-brother to GISW Mr
Speaker (Pulpit), won a rained-off renewal of the GIII Dixie S. at
Pimlico in May, in addition to a pair of listed stakes at Aqueduct.
His 4-year-old half-brother Snap Decision (Hard Spun) (hip 522)
and the 5-year-old Revved Up (Candy Ride {Arg}) (hip 504), a
son of champion Storm Flag Flying, are both Grade III-placed.

Fire Away | Horsephotos
The other three Phipps horses to be offered Monday are
Bokeelia Island (Medaglia d=Oro) (hip 413), a 6-year-old half-
brother to MGISWs Point of Entry (Dynaformer) and Pine Island
(Arch); Lead Astray (Malibu Moon ) (hip 468), a 4-year-old son
of champion Smuggler (Unbridled); and Myakka River (Giant=s
Causeway) (hip 483), a 4-year-old out of MGSW and MGISP Boca
Granda (A.P. Indy).
AThe Phipps horses have huge pedigrees and I think that alone
will attract buyers to come see them,@ Hancock said. AI think we
have a really strong group. Fire Away is a graded stakes winner
and Revved Up and Snap Decision are both graded stakes
placed. We have a couple coming out of big wins in their last
efforts. We are selling Seize (War Front), who ran really big at
Churchill a couple of weeks ago. We have a couple other horses
coming off big efforts as well. I think we have a pretty strong
consignment from top to bottom and a lot of horses are primed
to run big next time out.@
Out of a full-sister to champion Blame (Arch), Claiborne and
Adele Dilschneider homebred Seize (hip 515) won a Churchill
Downs allowance by 3 1/4 lengths June 23.
Okinawa (The Factor) (hip 556) and Texican (Bernardini) (hip
557) both carried the colors of owner/breeder Ramona Bass=s
Bass Stables. A $420,000 OBSAPR buy, the 4-year-old Okinawa
has won two of her six starts and was most recently second in a
Belmont optional claimer June 3. The 4-year-old gelding Texican
is still a maiden, but is a son of MSW and GSP Bag Lady Jane
(Devil=s Bag) and a half-brother to GSW Mamma Kimbo (Discreet
Cat).
Representing Waterford Stable is 4-year-old Clear N
Convincing (Giant=s Causeway) (hip 554), a $370,000 EASMAY
purchase who broke his maiden last time at Belmont June 16;
and Sum Overture (The Factor) (hip 555), a 3-year-old debut
winner at Monmouth in his lone start June 17.

Claiborne F-T Consignment cont.
AThe sale is well-positioned, right before Del Mar and
Saratoga,@ Hancock said. AThese horses are ready to run and a
lot of people may be looking to add another star to their stable.
Last year, the sale was strong. It is a great place to buy a horse
and to sell one. People can take advantage of selling a horse that
may be coming off a big effort.@
He continued, AYou have all the right people coming to town to
hopefully move these horses along and have some success with
them later on in the summer. There is no other sale like it
around. It is the only place to sell a horse like this at this time of
year. I think that is why it is gaining popularity.
When asked if the horses of racing age consignment would be
an annual tradition, Hancock said, AWe will have to see. You
never know how it will be year to year or what the clients would
like to do. It could go into the future.@
OSCAR PERFORMANCE TO STUD AT MILL
RIDGE IN 2019
>TDN Rising Star= Oscar Performance (Kitten=s Joy--Devine
Actress, by Theatrical {Ire}), the three-time Grade I winner who
recently kicked off his 4-year-old campaign with a course-record
setting performance in Belmont=s GIII Poker S., will retire at the
end of the year to stand at Mill Ridge Farm in 2019.
The Amerman homebred=s resume includes wins in the 2016
GI Breeders= Cup Juvenile Turf and 2017 GI Belmont Derby
Invitational S. and GI Secretariat S. The full-brother to millionaire
Oscar Nominated boasts a record of 12-7-0-1 and earnings of
$1,967,632.
AOscar Performance identified himself early that he was a
stand out individual and validated that with authority in his two,
three and 4-year-old campaigns,@ trainer Brian Lynch said. AHe is
a trainer=s dream, Lasix free, speed, stamina and soundness.
Certainly one of the best.@
Mill Ridge Farm managing partner Headley Bell added, AWe at
Mill Ridge are so appreciative to Jerry and John Amerman for
the opportunity to stand a stallion with the potential to
contribute to the breed like Oscar Performance. Since Diesis and
Gone West, we have been waiting for the special horse to carry
on from their legacies and believe Oscar Performance has all the
qualities to do so. We commend Brian Lynch and his team for
managing his career and look forward to him competing the
remainder of the year and returning to his birth place, Mill
Ridge, to stand stud in 2019.@
ALTER MOON ADDED TO FASIG-TIPTON
HORA SALE Alter Moon (Alternation--Sahara Moon, by Malibu Moon), a
runaway winner of last weekend=s Azalea S. at Gulfstream, has

Yearling and $22,000 OBS June Juvenile sports a record of 7-3-2-
0 and earnings of $128,255.
"Her upward trajectory is possibly unmatched in the catalog,
having won her most recent two starts by a combined 19 1/2
lengths and posting impressive speed figures," Mark Taylor said.
"With any sort of progression from Alter Moon, she could be in
with a real shot down the road at this year=s Breeders= Cup.@
Alter Moon will be consigned by Taylor Made as Hip 574.

DELAWARE TRACKS HANDLE $7 MILLION
DURING FIRST 20 DAYS OF SPORTS BETTINGBy Bill Finley
The Delaware Lottery Commission is reporting that $7 million
was wagered on sports at the state=s three racetracks from June
5 through June 24 and that the total revenue from the sports
wagering was $1,000,247.
June 5 is the day sports betting began and June 24 is the final
day of the fiscal month.
Sports betting is available at three Delaware tracks, Delaware
Park and the harness tracks Dover Downs and Harrington
Raceway. Delaware was the first state to offer sports betting
after the Supreme Court struck down the Professional and
Amateur Sports Protection Act.
Delaware bettors either had a particularly unlucky month or
aren=t particularly savvy sports handicappers. They lost 14% of
all money wagered. Traditionally, sports bettors in Nevada lose
about 5% to 6% of their total handle.
After the state and the companies operating the sports books
took their share, $352,256 was left over. Delaware Park, which
easily outhandled both harness tracks, took in $263,924 in
revenue and $62,715 was added to the purse account. There
were 50,934 individual wagers made during the 20-day period at
Delaware.
AAny time we can add any money to our purse account we are
happy,@ said Bessie Gruwell, the executive director of the
Delaware Thoroughbred Horsemen=s Association. AI=m glad that
this started when it did, at a time when there aren=t a lot of
sports to bet on, because they have some kinks to work out.
They shut down at 11 p.m., so they had to, on one occasion,
turn everyone away in the middle of one of the NBA finals game.
There=s also been long lines. But, hopefully, they should have
everything working much better by the time the NFL and college
TDN HEADLINE NEWS • PAGE 7 OF 11 • THETDN.COM FRIDAY • JULY 6, 2018
football games start. If they do, and with the popularity of those
sports, I would imagine that $62,000 figure would grow quite a
bit.@
Delaware is the only state that has legalized sports betting
where the tracks are required to contribute a portion of the
profits to purses.
Prior to the Supreme Court decision, Delaware already had
legal parlay style bets on NFL games, and the Awin@ on those
bets is typically around 30%. Some worried that single game
wagering would cut into the parlay bets and might actually
cause the tracks to lose revenue. But the total revenue on the
parlay bets in 2017 was $4.8 million. Based on the June results,
the annual revenue for more traditional sports bets will be far
greater than what the tracks were bringing in on the parlay
wagers.
Monmouth Park launched sports betting June 14. So far, no
handle figures have been made available by the New Jersey
Division of Gaming Enforcement.
Though the sample size is a small one, there is evidence that
some sports bettors may also be playing the horses. Since sports
betting began, there have been seven cards at Monmouth when
racing was held on the same day the prior year. During those
seven days, total on-track handle has been $3,742,569. In 2017,
the number for the same seven days was $3,097,837. That=s an
11.3% increase.
The next track to open a sports book will be the Meadowlands,
which is set to launch July 14. The North Jersey track moved up
the opening date by a day. The Meadowlands decided on July 14
because it is the night of the Meadowlands Pace, one of the
track=s signature races.
FUTURE BOOK FOR A CONTENTIOUS BUNCHby Robert D. Fierro, DataTrack
Now that the Supremes have decided you can basically bet on
anything, we thought we'd approach what may be the most
contentious bunch of young stallions we have seen in quite
some time as a handicapping event. We are talking, of course,
about the freshmen sires of 2018, whose first offspring have just
completed their midterms with the conclusion of the OBS June
Sale June 15.
Our task is to lay the odds on how the sires of these
youngsters are likely to compete over the long term. We have
eschewed the pedigree-only approach, but rather have granted
that each of these stallions qualify in some respects on that
score. Instead, we have brought to bear some biomechanical
and digital data to assist us in our prognostications--and then
have split them into three "races" with what we would deem an
TDN HEADLINE NEWS • PAGE 8 OF 11 • THETDN.COM FRIDAY • JULY 6, 2018
Shakin It Up | Spendthrift photo
unbiased Future Book.
There are three criteria we used for this bunch:
1) There are 17 stallions in this bunch, 14 of which stand in
Kentucky and three in Florida. The Florida sires were included
because they scored as well or better than most of the stallions
from the Bluegrass. All 17 had a minimum of 15 offspring which
breezed (not just entered) in the six major 2-year-old sales:
Fasig-Tipton in Florida and Maryland, OBS March, April, and
June, and Barretts April.
2) The major data set used
detailed how their offspring
compared as individuals to all the
other 2-year-olds who breezed.
The components of this data are
included in DataTrack's BreezeFigs
service which is based on breeze
time, stride length, and efficiency
of angulation. Since 2006, this
product has been utilized at sales
by buyers and sellers, as well as
being offered every day as a
handicapping tool at Daily Racing
Form's website.
3) We also took into consideration the results of our stallion
projection tests, which were compiled in 2015 when these
horses went to stud. These profiles are based on biomechanical
measurements and the probabilities of these stallions siring race
efficient foals from books of biomechanically balanced mares.
We also took into consideration the biomechanical profiles of
more than 150 of their offspring taken at the 2018 sales and the
2017 yearling sales.
The 17 stallions are separated into three groups, two based on
current stud fees in Kentucky ($10,000 is the dividing line), and
the third for the Florida stallions. They are listed below in Future
Book order with a comment or two along the way.
Group 1 (Stud fee = $10,000 and above, Kentucky)
5-to-2 Cairo Prince (Pioneerof the Nile)
5-to-2 Strong Mandate (Tiznow)
6-to-1 Will Take Charge (Unbridled's Song)
6-to-1 Verrazano (More Than Ready)
8-to-1 Fed Biz (Giant's Causeway)
10-to-1 Goldencents (Into Mischief)
10-to-1 Mucho Macho Man (Macho Uno)
10-to-1 Noble Mission (GB) (Galileo {Ire})
Comment: Cairo Prince and Strong Mandate are virtually tied in
all biomechanical data sets, and their offspring were strong on
breeze and stride data. Neither is
likely to get a lot of precocity, but
by autumn they should have
strong and versatile records.
Verrazano and Will Take Charge
are also virtually tied on breeze
and stride length data, but
Verrazano may be able to come
closer to his sire's versatility than
Will Take Charge versus his sire.
Fed Biz's offspring are likely to
come out early, emulate his
record as a miler--and they
resembled him more closely than
those by all other sires in this
crop--a good thing. Goldencents may get a lot of early runners;
Mucho Macho Man's not likely to hit his stride until late
autumn; and the Noble Mission bunch are probably going to
need the turf to show their best.
Group 2 (Stud fee = below $10,000, Kentucky)
9-to-5 Flashback (Tapit)
4-to-1 Shakin It Up (Midnight Lute)
6-to-1 Cross Traffic (Unbridled's Song)
10-to-1 Can the Man (Into Mischief)
10-to-1 Itsmyluckyday (Lawyer Ron)
12-to-1 Revolutionary (War Pass)
Comment: Flashback's sire profile is strong-however, they didn't
excite as yearlings. They woke up this year with breeze and
stride data that would have placed him tied at the top of Group
1. Shakin It Up was another who came out of the woodwork
with consistent performers and most looked like him, which is
good. Can the Man and Itsmyluckyday have strong sire profiles,

In August, TDN International Editor Kelsey Riley will ride in the MongolDerby, a 1000 kilometre (620 mile), 10 day ride across Outer Mongolia.
The Mongol Derby is the world’s longest multi-horse race, and whilenavigating the unmarked course by GPS Kelsey will have to conquer suchchallenges as half-broke horses, pursuit by wild dogs, the physical effects
of 14-hour days in the saddle and some less-than-glamorous culinaryexperiences. Kelsey is taking on this challenge because she is crazy,
but also to raise money for the
TRF’s Second Chances Program at Blackburn in Lexington.

and their 2-year-olds were basically even across the board, but
may need some time. Revolutionary had only 15 that breezed at
the sales and they did fairly well, but they may take some time
to come around.
Group 3 (Florida)
6-to-5 Handsome Mike (Scat Daddy)
5-to-2 He's Had Enough (Tapit)
6-to-1 Drill (Lawyer Ron)
Comment: Handsome Mike has a very good sire profile and his
2-year-olds were fast and had solid breeze and stride stats. He
isn't his sire, but he looks mighty tempting. He's Had Enough
impressed enough to give this sire a chance for a couple of
decent performers at two. Drill was a major surprise and, as one
of two sons of Lawyer Ron in our computations, could continue
the startling success of his sire in the Sunshine State, and
perhaps beyond.

OHIO HBPA DONATES $50,000 TO SUPPORT NEW
VOCATIONS The Ohio Horsemen=s Benevolent and Protective Association
has donated $50,000 to support the New Vocations Program=s
aftercare efforts at their Ohio facilities. In 2017, New Vocations
took in over 450 retired racehorses, 64 of which came directly
from an Ohio racetrack or farm.
AIt is important to the Ohio HBPA that our retired
Thoroughbreds be given a chance to thrive in a second career,"
said Dave Basler, Ohio HBPA executive director. AWe are proud
to continue our partnership with New Vocations, an
organization that began 26 years ago right here in Ohio to give
our horses that chance New Vocations= adoption process is very
thorough--it ensures that the horses will go to good homes. We
know from the training they received that the horses leave the
program well-prepared to begin their second careers.@
STRONACH GROUP TO ENHANCE HANDICAPPING
INFORMATION WITH HORSES= WEIGHTS
After monitoring, compiling and televising the weights of
horses the past several months at its facilities in California,
Florida and Maryland, The Stronach Group will make the
information available in past performances by the end of
summer.
Prior to be being saddled before a race, each horse steps on a
scale in or near the paddock, where their weights are recorded
by a racing official. The weights have been posted on in-house
simulcast shows before each race. By the end of the summer,
weights will also be available on-line and in racing programs
with a plus/minus from the previous start, according to The
Jockey Club.
The Hong Kong Jockey Club has been weighing and recording
the weights of horses for several years.
AThis is something we=ve been working on for quite a while,@
Tim Ritvo, Chief Operating Officer of The Stronach Group, said.
AI think this information benefits everyone, from horsemen to
bettors to track veterinarians, and it allows further
transparency. We hope the added element is beneficial to our
customers since we have always considered them the economic
engine of the sport.@

SPORTS BETTING RULES ON ARCI AGENDA In the aftermath of the US Supreme Court ruling which clears
the way for states to authorize and regulate wagering on sports
other than horseracing, the ARCI will consider expanding its
portfolio beyond wagering on pari-mutuel horse and greyhound
contests to those involving human athletes and teams.
When it meets next Tuesday and Wednesday in Omaha,
Nebraska, the ARCI Model Rules Committee will consider taking
the first step in this direction by working on a set of model
regulations based upon the existing sports betting rules
currently in place in Nevada.
"Up until recently, except for Nevada, the only legal sports
wagering authorized has been on horse or greyhound racing.
The regulatory structure in place for these sports and the
processing of wagers can easily be adopted to accommodate
wagering on other sports," ARCI President Ed Martin said.
EYE OF THE TIGER RETIRED TO OLD FRIENDS Two-time graded winner Eye of the Tiger (American Chance--
Dial a Trick, by Phone Trick) has been pensioned to Old Friends,
the Thoroughbred Retirement Center in Georgetown, Ky.
The 2003 GI Kentucky Derby fifth-place finisher was retired
from racing in 2006 with five wins from 19 starts and earnings of
$535,679 for breeder/owner John D. Gunther. He was
pensioned from stud duty at the Gunther's Glennwood Farm in
2016. The now 18-year-old arrived at Old Friends on June 27.
"Eye of the Tiger he has been a long-time member of our
horse family," said Glennwood's Tanya Gunther. "He deserves
the serenity that this home will provide him, which was a
challenge to do at our small farm with the constant hustle and
bustle of mares, foals, and yearlings.
"To know he will join the company of Classic horses such as
War Emblem, Silver Charm, and Touch Gold makes me very
pleased.
Imagine the stories they will share? A big thank you to Old
Friends, and we look forward to visiting him very soon."
MIGLIORE TO RECEIVE THOROFAN AWARD Retired jockey and popular racing analyst Richard Migliore has

BLACKTYPE (FR) (g, 7, Dunkerque {Fr}--Theorie {Fr}, by Anabaa)
captured the GII Knickerbocker S. here Oct. 9 for his third
graded stakes conquest, but had been off the board in his
subsequent four outings, most recently running seventh in the
local GIII Fort Marcy S. May 5. Made the narrow 2-1 favorite in
this spot, the dark bay tracked the pace from the pocket in third
through splits of :23.62 and :46.59. Hugging the fence on the far
bend, he slipped through an opening at the three-eighths pole,
fought off pacesetter Abiding Star (Uncle Mo) passing the
sixteenth marker and inched away to a one-length tally. Longest
shot in the field Tapitation (Tapit) nailed Abiding Star in the last
jump for second money. Sales History: €7,500 Ylg '12 DEANOV.

spot, the blaze-faced chestnut was first out of the blocks from
his inside post before settling in a stalking second through splits
of :23.57, :47.44 and 1:11.23. Taking charge five-sixteenths out,
the homebred spurted clear past the eighth pole before holding
sway late from favored Admission Office (Point of Entry) by
three-quarters of a length. The victor has a juvenile Lemon Drop
Kid half-sister named Mrs. Got Rocks and his dam produced a
colt by Tonalist last season before revisiting that sire. Sales

NANCYSAIDSO (f, 2, Cajun Breeze--Theladysaidno, by Concerto)
was a close second in her first two career outings before
breaking through with a dominant graduation when adding Lasix
and blinkers over the local slop May 26. Backed to 4-5 to double
up in this spot, the homebred was hustled away to dictate terms
through a sharp :21.88 quarter, but was collared by second
choice Sweetsweetsweet (Concord Point) to her inside nearing
the stretch and appeared beaten past the furlong grounds.
Sweetsweetsweet drifted out sharply nearing the sixteenth pole,
however, and continued all the way to the outside fence as she
approached the wire, allowing Nancysaidso to just get up by a
half-length. The winner has a yearling full-brother and a full-
sister of this term. Lifetime Record: 4-2-2-0, $89,700. Click for

{Jpn}), a first-out victress against $50,000 maiden sellers here
Dec. 6, annexed a state-bred allowance over track and trip three
starts later before running fifth in the local Liza Jane S. June 6.
Off as the lukewarm 27-10 chalk in this spot, the bay broke last
and caboosed the field behind a :22.46 quarter. Picking off
horses in the two path on the turn, she swung four deep at the
top of the lane and ran down pacesetter R Next Roll
(Overdriven) at the sixteenth pole en route to a two-length
success over that foe. The winner is the first foal out of a dam
whose subsequent produce is a juvenile filly by Lemon Drop Kid
named Lemon Gal, a yearling Temple city colt and a filly of this
spring by the latter sire. Lifetime Record: 6-3-0-1, $82,667. Click

AMY FARAH FOWLER (f, 2, Astrology--Run Cat Run {SP}, by Sir
Cat) romped on debut going a furlong shorter here May 21 and
drilled three bullet works in the interim, including a five-furlong
move in :59 1/5 (1/4) July 1. Taking all the money at 1-5 in this
five-horse group, the bay broke a tad awkwardly and sat third
early before making a three-wide blitz for the front entering the
turn. Opening up nearing the straightaway, she never gave any
pursuers a chance in the stretch despite failing to switch leads
until the final yards and romped home 8 3/4 lengths in front.
Pemaquid Sally (Talent Search) was well clear for the place. The

was given a 3-1 chance. Breaking on top from her rail draw, the
homebred showed the way while pressed by heavy favorite She
Will Rock (Will Take Charge) through a :22.33 quarter. Inching
clear from that one by the top of the lane, the bay kicked clear
despite failing to switch leads until just outside the sixteenth
pole and coasted home 8 1/2 lengths to the good. She Will Rock
was clearly second-best. The victress has a full-brother born this

UPS AND DOWNS SHOWCONSTANT CLASS OF OXX
By Chris McGrath
According to Chinese proverb, "a single conversation with a
wise man is better than 10 years of study." But that
conversation is going to prove still more instructive if the wise
man has himself just had a decade like that dividing John Oxx
from the emergence of his greatest champion.
It is a study that perhaps teaches us more about people than
horses. Ten years ago next Friday, Oxx saddled a 2-year-old colt
by Cape Cross (Ire) for his first start at The Curragh, just over the
road from a stable that counted Derby and Arc winner Sinndar
(Ire) (Grand Lodge) among a litany of international stars since
Ridgewood Pearl (GB) (Indian Ridge {Ire}) had won the Breeders'
Cup Mile in 1995: from stayers like Enzeli (Ire) (Kahyasi {Ire}) to
sprinters like Namid (GB) (Indian Ridge {GB}).
As it happens, Sea The Stars (Ire) finished only fourth that day.
But he was never beaten again, proving himself one of the most
accomplished Thoroughbreds of the modern era in racking up
six Group 1 wins the following year. In the process, the horse's
competitive ego appeared to expand into a limelight left vacant
by his trainer's innate humility.
In the years since, however, Oxx has been dropped by both the
Aga Khan, owner of Sinndar and his principal patron until 2013,
and the Tsui family, who owned Sea The Stars but moved their
horses from Ireland in 2016. So far this season Oxx has been
able to field 18 horses; just three of them winners. Nonetheless
a conversation with this particular wise man remains an
unchanging source of equilibrium in a changing world, without
the faintest inflection of resentment or defensiveness. Instead
there is such comforting familiarity to his bearing--benign, calm
and modest--that you feel cheapened by your own sense of
affront on his behalf.
"People were very upset," he admits, quietly bemused. "More
than I was, in a way. Of course I was upset, and it affected our
business and our livelihood. But you know, I've been in this
business all my life. I know what it's like. I'm kind of mentally
prepared for anything, and was probably the person--well, I
won't say least upset, but I wasn't as upset as a lot of people
around me, and a lot of people well disposed to me.@ Cont. p2

I'm philosophical about it. That's the way life is. The business
should teach you that. It's part and parcel of it."
But if this mildness runs absolutely with the grain of Oxx's
character, nobody should confuse
his resolute freedom from vanity
with too meek or submissive a
brand of fatalism. Here is a man
who understands the corrosive
nature of bitterness or blame;
and who also grasps that the best
redress lies within.
"I was just determined that we
were going to come back from
this," he says. "Build up the stable
again. I'm not saying I want big
numbers. There is this tendency
among trainers today to want
huge numbers of horses. You see
it in America, you see it in jump
racing, and you see it now in Flat racing [in Europe] too. I trained
a lot of horses in the past. But I have no ambition to train even
100 horses. I just want to train enough; to enjoy it; and to train
for good horse people, the sort of people who have come along
to me now, when I'm not doing well, when I'm not in lights all
the time.@
"You really appreciate people like that, and you enjoy working
for them. It's a pleasure to get up in the morning and work for
the people I'm working for at
the moment. I just need a few
more of them. I think there's an
opening for an ambitious young
trainer like me, who doesn't
want 200 horses and can
hopefully offer people a better
service; who has time to devote
to their interests."
The wry, deadpan delivery
achieves an optimal balance
between an instinct for
self-deprecation and a quiet
but no less authentic
self-respect. This, after all, is a
profession where experience
should count for rather more than often seems to be the case.

If you own the favourite for a Classic, and the horse comes up
with a problem two days beforehand, would you rather your
trainer was the latest fashionable young trainer, experiencing
this particular issue for the first time--or John Oxx, trainer of 11
Classic winners, experiencing it for the 101st time?
If it is not his nature to volunteer that point, it is one Oxx is
prepared to acknowledge. "When I think back earlier in my
career, even when I was winning loads of races, I made plenty of
mistakes too," he admits. "All things being equal, if a trainer still
has the enthusiasm for it, and the health for it, he should get
better every year. Other things can come in the way, knock a
trainer off kilter; he hasn't the right facilities, perhaps, or the
right staff. But all things being equal, you will get better, there's
no doubt.@
"I always admire Ian Balding for doing so well with Mill Reef:
he was actually very young. I only became a decent trainer in my
forties. I started when I was 29, I'd qualified as a vet and thought
I knew everything. I imagined that my father didn't know half as
much as me. But as you get older, you tend to find your father
was more clever than you thought. In my forties, certain things
started to drop [in place]. And then, when I had those really
good horses--I had Ridgewood Pearl when I was 45--well, you
really begin to learn things then. To see things you hadn't
before, and understand them. And then you see similarities.@
"A few years before Sea The Stars, I had Azamour (Ire) (Night
Shift) who was very similar to him in constitution, mentally and
physically. And that prepared me. They both ate more, under
pressure, than any other horses I've ever had. Horses will eat
tons of feed when they're not under pressure, but when they're
in hard work and racing, a lot of them go off a little bit. But
those two thrived on it. They could work to a different beat to
the rest. And so they just got better and better."
Aidan O'Brien having shared similar insights about the
vocational appetite of Galileo (Ire) (Sadler's Wells), you wonder
about the half-brothers' dam Urban Sea (Miswaki). Perhaps all
those breeders seeking some holy grail should simply be
concentrating on sheer physiological capacity?
"Everything is inherited," Oxx replies. "The longer you train
horses, the more you realise that. When you train for someone
like the Aga Khan for 25 years, you see the same thing, even
little things, coming down through families. Urban Sea must
have been hardy and tough: Jean Lesbordes ran her
everywhere, in all sorts of races--and she kept coming back, and
then goes and wins the Arc at the end of it. And temperament is
the most transmissible of all the traits. Talent gets diluted by
mares much more easily than temperament. Temperament just
seems to stick and stick. So good temperament and toughness,
like these horses have, is a huge asset in a stallion." Cont. p4

John Oxx cont.
With all due respect for Oxx's determination to look forward, it
would be churlish to ignore the anniversary that has brought us
to his door. And, with the legacy of Sea The Stars enriched at
Royal Ascot by Stradivarius (GB) and Crystal Ocean (GB), we
should celebrate anew the mastery and adventure with which
Oxx first promoted his genetic wares. Having seen the unbeaten
records of other champions defended with increasing
nervousness, in fact, you wonder whether it actually helped that
Sea The Stars did not win on debut?
"Michael Kinane, particularly as he got older, was very gentle
on horses having their first run," Oxx recalls. "He always said you
have to leave them with a good taste in their mouth. When I
was young and foolish, I used to have them pretty ready to win
first time out, if they could. But as you go along you change a bit.
Mick gave him a nice, educational run: in between horses, boxed
in a bit at the fence, got out towards the end and finished
strongly. He could have won with a clear run but it served its
purpose and he went on to win easily at Leopardstown a few
weeks later."
After that, relentlessly, with each start the horse dug another
seam in that mine of physical and mental toughness. "That's why
I always told people I never knew how good he was," he says.
"Because at some stage, very often, they crack. Nashwan
(Blushing Groom {Fr}) cracked. He was a box-walker. I don't
think we realised that at the time. The Major [Dick Hern] got
him as far as the King George but then he flopped in the Prix
Niel. And Nijinsky was a temperamental horse. It might be that
only Vincent could have got him there. But he cracked a little, in
the Arc. He got very worked up and sweated a lot before the
race. Slightly unusual, perhaps, for a great horse to be as hot as
that."

John Oxx cont.
When Sea The Stars rounded off his own career at Longchamp,
Oxx was immune to the general alarm when he still had so much
to do. The horse's exuberance had been matched, since Epsom,
by consecutive runs at 10 furlongs. "And Aidan always helped
us, in that he always had pacemakers!" smiles Oxx. "He always
had it in his head to get this fellow working four furlongs from
home. But sure all he was doing was helping us. The horse had
so much speed they could never get him off the bridle.@
"In the Arc they didn't set off at a mad gallop, so I was a little
anxious the first two furlongs, when he just started shaking his
head. But then Mick got him back, and I could see then he had
him settled. After that I wasn't too worried. Everybody else was,
because he seemed to be far back; but the main opponents
weren't too far in front of him. He could do anything, you know,
anything. It was a great relief, of course, having seen Nijinsky,
this unbeaten hero of mine, lose the Arc to an inferior horse.
That was a heartbreaker at the time and I didn't want that to
happen to our lad."
Nijinsky remains the last Triple Crown winner in Britain, and
there was pressure to let Sea The Stars add the third leg in the St
Leger. But Oxx remains in no doubt that the horse was better
able to manifest his talent in the Irish Champion S., where he
achieved his highest rating. At the same time, Oxx would have
liked to do a service for the reputation of staying races. He
believes that a great horse is indifferent to distance, using the
recent example of Justify (Scat Daddy) rolling along in his usual
fashion in the Belmont.
"Breeders are always confusing distance with speed," he says.
"They don't realise the difference between real class and just
precocity and an ability to win over short distances. Occasionally
you get a dominant sprinter but most of the time there isn't a
few lengths between good handicappers and Group 1 winners.@

John Oxx cont.
Very often they're interchangeable. So what does that tell
you? People buy cheap horses in the hope they'll make an Ascot
2-year-old, but an awful lot of nice types are sacrificed on that
altar. I do think there's a drift away from knowing what class is."
That said, Oxx relishes training sharper types. Unfortunately he
often finds himself a victim of his own patience, tending to
receive more backward types instead. Just one dimension, this,
of the kind of reinvention that might restore Oxx, as a trainer, to
a standing commensurate with that he has never lost, as a
gentleman.
For it is in adversity that you can best measure dignity. In Oxx,
it is so deep-rooted, so natural, that he never needed the props
of self-regard or self-satisfaction in the days of Sea The Stars.
And nor, by the same token, does he require defensive spikes of
acrimony now. The circumstances of his business may change,
but both that dignity and his professional intuition remain
invincibly the same.
Just because he remains as understated now as in his pomp,
however, do not underestimate the resilience and
determination underpinning the expertise and seasoning he can
summon for each new horse. This has been recognised by
Godolphin, among others. Oxx does not want anyone to feel
sorry for him, and is unsurprisingly and scrupulously courteous
in his reflections on the patrons who left his stable for their
different reasons. But nor would he want anyone to imagine
that he has embraced some kind of semi-retirement.
"We've been working harder than ever, myself and my wife, to
get the business back on an even keel," he says. "When the Aga
Khan left, I knew we'd slip down to the bottom of the ladder and
that it would take a few years to get back. It's been difficult, and
there's a lot to do yet. As I said, we're not trying to get huge
numbers but we need more than we have. We haven't had an
economical number for years, and that's something we can't live
with any longer.@
"But I'm hopeful now. We've good clients, and nice people too.
As you go along you realise how important that is. Some have
been with us right through, some have come back after the
recession, but most are new people who have come to me when
I wasn't in the top flight any more.@
"It might seem I've had a raw deal. But I've had great owners
over the years. I don't find owners difficult, in general. I think
they need time, and plenty of communication. That's a big
failing of some trainers, they don't communicate properly,
they're not diplomatic, don't listen. So yes, maybe a young,
up-and-coming trainer like me, who's not going to train 200
horses and has a bit of experience, might have something to
offer."
SAXON GOES TO SANDOWN IN ECLIPSE
SHAKE-UP
Aidan O=Brien on Thursday committed >TDN Rising Star= Saxon
Warrior (Jpn) (Deep Impact {Jpn}) to Saturday=s G1 Coral-Eclipse
at Sandown in a volte face that has caused a stirring of the mix
for the proclaimed Afirst clash of the generations.@ It will also
feature the first true clash of the sexes in 2018, with fellow
Ballydoyle representative Happily (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) lining up to
attempt to confirm the form of her beating of Masar (Ire) (New
Approach {Ire}) in last year=s G1 Prix Jean-Luc Lagardere. She will
be partnered by Wayne Lordan, with Donnacha O=Brien set to
renew his partnership with Saxon Warrior on whom he captured
the G1 2000 Guineas at Newmarket May 5. In a measure of the
operation=s continued regard for the GIII Dwyer S. protagonist
Mendelssohn (Scat Daddy), Ryan Moore is heading to Belmont
Park instead. Saxon Warrior, who was initially due a break
according to Aidan O=Brien immediately after finishing third in
Saturday=s G1 Irish Derby, bids to continue his stable=s
impressive record of backing up their horses in the past
fortnight, with six of The Curragh=s Derby meeting=s winners
from the yard coming back from Royal Ascot duty.
AObviously he only ran last week, so we haven=t done much,
but he seems to be in good form,@ O=Brien said. AObviously
we=re observing him very closely because he only ran last week.
If there was anything negative we=d flag it up straight away.
We=re taking a bit of a chance running him back so close, but
we=re happy with him. We never thought that dropping back in
trip would be a problem to him.@
With the chief older horses conspicuous by their absence in

eighth in the G3 La Coupe at ParisLongchamp on June 10, Gestut
Park Wiedingen=s Devastar (Ger) (Areion {Ger}) returned to
home soil and winning ways in Thursday=s G3 Grosser Preis Von

turn and stayed there until headed by Va Bank (Ire)
(Archipenko) inside the last 100 yards, but he stayed the
stronger of the pair to prevail by a head.
This was a second group success for Devastar, who collected
the 2016 G3 Preis der Deutschen Einheit over this trip at
Hoppegarten. Solid and consistent, he had posted two more
black-type successes in Hoppegarten=s Listed Preis von Dahlwitz
at this distance on Apr. 22 and in the Listed Rottgen-Cup over 11

BHA ADDS RESULT VERIFICATION
PROCEDURE The British Horseracing Authority has instituted an additional
results verification procedure after a wrong result was posted at
Kempton in March. In that instance, an official result was later
reversed after a photo finish was more closely examined and the
result found to be incorrect.
The process, which has been trialled extensively since March,
means that an additional line of verification is now in place
before the >weighed in= signal is given, whereby the stipendiary
stewards on duty are required to verify the finishing order of the
winning and placed horses. Should there be a query, a signal is
given to the judge on duty to revisit the result until there is
agreement between both parties, in which case the provisional
result may be amended if it has been given.
Brant Dunshea, chief regulatory officer of the BHA, said,
AAlthough the initial situation which caused us to look into
results verification was disappointing, the outcome whereby all
those affected by the result of a race can have increased
confidence in its accuracy is a positive one. I=d like to thank all
those who have been involved in the process both within the
BHA and externally for their assistance in completing this
project, which is now in place for all races run in Great Britain.@

Another to come out of Royal Ascot moving forward, the bay
was always in control up the centre of the track with his fellow
Rosegreen representative and relative Fantasy (Ire) (Invincible
Spirit {Ire}) in front overall on the far rail. Left in the lead with
two furlongs remaining, he was pushed out to assert from the
chasing filly Mintd and record a comfortable first black-type
success. AHe=s very uncomplicated and a nice horse you can
bounce out in front, as he has a lot of speed,@ jockey Donnacha
O=Brien said. AHe=s by an exciting new sire and they have a lot of
speed and physical presence about them. He=ll stay six and will
handle a little ease in the ground as well, so there are a lot of
options for him.@
Theann, who proved a smart performer for this stable when
winning the six-furlong G3 Summer S. and placing in the
G3 Leopardstown 1000 Guineas Trial S. and G3 Greenlands S.,
produced Photo Call who captured the GI First Lady S. and
GI Rodeo Drive S. as well as the GIII Orchid S. and GIII Violet S.
With a yearling filly by Australia (GB) to follow, she is like this
race=s fifth-placed Fantasy a daughter of the stellar sprinter
Cassandra Go (Ire) (Indian Ridge {Ire}). This is a family with
which Coolmore have become increasingly familiar, as the
latter=s best progeny Halfway to Heaven (Ire) (Pivotal {GB})
landed the G1 Irish 1000 Guineas, G1 Sun Chariot S. and G1
Nassau S. for the operation before producing the MG1SW

{MGSP-Aus}, by Danehill), who faded into fourth behind Copia
Verborum (Ire) (Vocalised) over seven furlongs at The Curragh
on June 8, was again sent straight to the front. Keeping up a
strong gallop all the way to the line this time, the 7-4 favourite
held a length advantage over Decisive Action (Ire) (Rip Van
Winkle {Ire}) there. Stable companion South Pacific (GB) (Galileo
{Ire}), the i1-million ARAUG half-brother to Ectot (GB)
(Hurricane Run {Ire}) and Most Improved (Ire) (Lawman {Fr}),
attracted support but ran very green throughout and finished
fourth. AHe=s a horse that always worked really nice, so his first
two runs were disappointing,@ jockey Donnacha O=Brien said.
AHe had a little look coming up to the finish line, but he=s a
gorgeous horse and when he matures and fills out he=ll be better
again.@ The winner was a relatively cheap purchase at just
240,000gns at Tattersalls October given that he is a full-brother

NOAH FROM GOA SET FOR SINGAPORE
UNVEILING by Alan Carasso
Noah From Goa (SAf) (Tiger Ridge), winner of the 2015
G1 Cape Guineas in the colors of Mary Slack=s Wilgerbosdrift
(Pty) Ltd., has been relocated to Singapore and is set to make his
local debut in a S$125,000 Kranji Stakes >A= over 1200 metres
Friday evening.
Previously trained by Mike de Kock, the 5-year-old gelding
followed his Guineas success with a strong third-place effort
behind South African Horses of the Year Legal Eagle (SAf) (Greys
Inn) and Legislate (SAf) (Dynasty {SAf}) in the 2016
G1 L=Ormarins Queen=s Plate. Multiple Group 2-placed in Dubai
in 2017 when part-owned by Sheikh Mohammed bin Khalifa, the
chestnut returned to this year=s World Cup Carnival and exits a
latest third in the G2 Zabeel Mile Feb. 22 (video). Noah From
Goa, who adds blinkers Friday, will race in Singapore for Mary
Slack and is now being conditioned by Ricardo Le Grange, who
admits that it is a belated start for the chestnut.
AHe was meant to run in the [May 26] Kranji Mile, but the race
came too soon and he wasn=t ready for the race,@ Le Grange told
the Singapore Turf Club=s Michael Lee. AA 1200m race is a bit
sharp for him, but it=s also a nice race to start with. I noticed in
his trackwork he likes looking at everything, and that=s why we
are trying blinkers on him. He had a trial with them [June 26]
and he did really well (video), but usually he doesn=t show much
in his work. That is not to say I will leave the blinkers on all the
time. It=s a learning curve for all of us.@
An R325,000 (US$30,583) graduate of the 2014 Emperor=s
Palace National 2-Year-Old Sale, Noah From Goa has won five of
his 12 career starts for earnings of US$205,730. Nooresh Juglall
has the call from gate four in the sixth of Friday=s eight races at
