High expectations for new
Fasig-Tipton July sale format
By glenye Cain Oakford
The select yearling auction season kicks
off at Fasig-Tipton’s Kentucky headquarters July 15, and this year there’s a bonus.
Immediately following the yearling session, Fasig-Tipton will offer a new auction:
the summer sale of selected horses of racing age.
With this sale, Fasig-Tipton is attempting to establish a new tradition of selling
an estimated 50 to 65 “horses with meaningful racing potential to showcase to the
sport’s leading buyers,” as chief executive
Boyd Browning describes it in the auction’s promotional material.
It might seem a bold step to launch a
select racing-age sale at a time when yearlings traditionally are in the limelight,
and at a place that does not have a training
track for the racing-age stock to show off
their abilities. But Browning and Bayne
Welker, Fasig-Tipton’s vice president for
sales, said the market is ripe for such a
racing-age outlet, and that the company’s
detailed online catalog will give bidders
plenty of ways to assess a runner’s performance.
If this initial July racing-age sale is successful, Fasig-Tipton officials plan to keep
it on the calendar, Welker said.
“It’s been on the table for a couple of
years now, and it came about for a couple
of reasons,” Welker said of the racing-age
auction. “There had been a lot of client
input to having a sale devoted to horses
in training. There had also been a push to
have it at a different time of year so that
people who wanted to liquidate horses –
either because they didn’t meet the standards of their racing stable or because
somebody who just had a horse that they
wanted to turn into cash and was quite a
hot commodity – would have the opportunity to do so.
“Traditionally, the only time format
available in the public marketplace has
been the fall sales. And with the increased
amount of activity that was going on in the
private marketplace because of the Del
Mar Ship and Win program, there were a
lot of external factors that pointed towards
July.”
Del Mar’s Ship and Win program has
piqued interest in proven runners based
outside California. Owners who start a
runner at Del Mar who last ran out of state
are eligible for two alluring incentives: a
guaranteed $1,000 payment just for starting the horse in a Del Mar race, plus a 33
percent bonus added to the horse’s purse
earnings from its initial Del Mar start.
“If you’re in the racing game, there is a
very healthy market out there for a fit and
ready racehorse [who is] ready to be able
to go back to the races in, say, weeks or
a month,” Welker said. “There’s a strong
desire to have those.”
Fasig-Tipton’s barn area in the days leading up to the auction. But auction-house
officials said that even though bidders
won’t be watching the horses work over a
racetrack, they’ll have access to thorough
information at Fasig-Tipton’s website –
including race videos, results, and workouts – as well as catalog pages and pedigree updates.
“On that website, they’ll have the ability to see all the races and all the past performances, and they’ll be able to pull up
Ragozin numbers and a summary being
done on each horse by Daily Racing Form,”
Welker said. “I think most horses in this
day and age are gauged by numbers, and
all that information is going to be put out
there. What’s left is, how are they physically made? You’ll be able to see them on
the end of the shank and see how they
walk. The performances for most of these
horses have been established, so you’ll
be able to know what level they’re able to
compete at.”
and yearlings, too

Yearlings sold for an average of $81,291 at last July’s sale, up 16 percent from 2011.
With a vigorous private market, what’s
the incentive for sellers to bring their racehorses to a public auction in Kentucky?
There are several, according to Browning
and Welker, starting with the protections
an auction’s conditions of sale can provide
for both buyers and sellers.
“The money, the vetting, the administrative difficulties that are inherent in
the private marketplace are solved by the
sales company,” Browning said. “We’re
used to processing and handling transfers of ownership, collecting the money,
paying the money. There’s a high level of
confidence in the repository in terms of
the veterinary procedures. It’s a process
everybody’s comfortable with.”
Welker also points to the competition
factor: When two or more bidders lock
horns over a prized horse, anything can
happen, and most of the time, that is good
for the seller. “What we’ve seen historically, over and over, is that emotion often
plays a large part in the auction process,
and when you have that between two bidding competitors, you’re often going to
receive a higher price than you possibly
would in the private market.”
The racing-age horses, like the yearlings, will only be shown at a walk in
In the meantime, of course, FasigTipton’s barn area will be showcasing
the summer’s first select-auction yearlings. Browning and Welker hope there
will be some “cross-pollination” between
the markets, with trainers and their clients checking out both the young and the
racing-age stock. Even if that crossover is
limited, company officials have a sunny
forecast for both their July sale and the
broader select-yearling season.
They have some reason for their optimism. Last year, the select-yearling auctions generally posted average and median prices that were either level with 2011
or up, sometimes by double digits, and
so did several important regional sales.
Fasig-Tipton’s July sale remained level
with its 2011 median of $60,000, but the average climbed 16 percent, even though the
catalog was 12 percent larger than in the
previous year.
The company’s small, highly select
Saratoga auction endured a rougher ride,
as buyers and sellers alike responded to an
apparent change in market mover Sheikh
Mohammed al-Maktoum’s buying habits.
After losses on the sale’s opening night,
the second session rocketed up, but the
two-day sale still ended with an average
price lower by 6 percent and a median
price down by 10 percent in what was
widely regarded as a one-off situation.
Keeneland’s long September yearling sale
saw gains at its reformatted select session
and for the 11-day auction overall, including a record-equaling median of $45,000.
This year’s spring and early-summer
juvenile sales consistently produced
gains, some of them double-digit increases. That bodes well for the yearling-to-
dRF BREEdInG
juvenile resellers, called pinhookers, who
often shore up returns at select-yearling
sales as they look to restock their inventory for the following year’s 2-year-old auctions – although they also will have been
affected by a highly polarized market with
high withdrawal and buyback rates that,
for many consignors, made selling a feastor-famine enterprise. But those who
profited are likely to add stability to this
year’s yearling auctions.
“In all yearling markets, the role of the
pinhooker certainly has a bearing on how
well the yearling markets do,” Welker
said. “The better the pinhookers do, the
better the overall health of the yearling
market is, from top to bottom.”
The annual Thoroughbred foal crop is
still falling, which helps to increase competition for a smaller supply of select horses.
“The reduced supply has helped move
the market into hopefully a higher category, and I think confidence is higher
in the United States economy and the
world economy, so there’s more willingness to spend money,” Browning said.
“And I think people feel pretty good about
the horse business right now as well. We
would anticipate the positive momentum
of the 2-year-old sales to continue into the
yearling sales cycle.”
Welker believes that improved confidence is likely to translate into incremental growth as buyers cautiously up their
budgets, but Browning also noted that bidders probably will remain highly selective
– and that could mean 2012’s high buyback
rates could continue, especially if sellers
place aggressive reserves on their stock.
Browning and Welker don’t see major
obstacles to healthy domestic spending,
particularly at the top of the market. A
diverse upper market of U.S.-based buyers was a hallmark of last year’s auction
season, which also saw less aggressive
spending by two of the U.S. market’s traditional titans: Darley Stud (whose owner,
al-Maktoum, is a close associate of the Dubai company that owns Fasig-Tipton) and
Coolmore Stud.
“When you see prices come down out of
the stratosphere, it gives those who have
always thought they can’t play at that level
the ability to step up and try to obtain what
are perceived as the top offerings,” Welker
said. “You get more people in at a higher
level than they’ve probably thought about
being in the past.”
If those factors line up again at FasigTipton July, both the yearling market
and Fasig-Tipton’s new racing-age market
could benefit, getting the summer auction
season off to a positive start.
Fasig-Tipton officials
hope there will be

and racing-age stock.

A line of his own
JOHN P.
SPARKMAN
The victory of Trading Leather, by
Teofilo, in the Group 1 Irish Derby on June
29 expanded the burgeoning reputation of
Teofilo’s sire, Galileo, as a sire of sires. But
the victory of Ambivalent, by Authorized,
in the Group 1 Pretty Polly Stakes at The
Curragh the following day may herald
similar implications for Galileo’s chief
rival, Montjeu, as the world’s best sire for
the last decade.
Ambivalent’s Pretty Polly score followed close on the heels of the victory by
Treve, by Montjeu’s son Motivator, in the
Group 1 Prix de Diane (French Oaks), and
calls attention to the growing success at
stud of the first two of Montjeu’s four Epsom Derby winners.
Montjeu retired to Coolmore Stud in
2001 at a fee of only 30,000 euros, but when
Galileo followed him to stud at Coolmore
in 2002, that horse’s initial fee was 100,000
euros. The big difference in stud fees was
entirely a reflection of the perception of
their pedigrees, since Montjeu possessed
the superior race record.
Montjeu was a stakes winner at 2;
Galileo was not. Both had won European
derbies at 3, but Montjeu won the more
prestigious Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe,
while Galileo captured the King George
VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes. Montjeu
added three more Group 1 wins at 4, including a King George, while Galileo was
already collecting stud fees at that age.
Montjeu and Galileo were the two best
racing sons of 14-time leading English
sire Sadler’s Wells, but the female half of
their pedigrees were not considered equal,
though both were undeniably high class.
In the eyes of Europe’s best breeders, the
key differences were that Galileo’s dam,
Urban Sea, had won the Prix de l’Arc de
Triomphe at 1 1/2 miles, and her sire was
the sprinter-miler Miswaki, by speed influence Mr. Prospector, while Montjeu’s
dam, Floripedes, had won the Group 3 Prix
Lutece at almost two miles, and her sire,
Top Ville, was a sire of stayers.
Those differences have to some extent
been reflected in the performances of
Montjeu’s and Galileo’s offspring. Montjeu
has sired six juvenile Group 1 winners to
Galileo’s eight, but all of Montjeu’s top
juveniles required distances of a mile or
more at 2, while several of Galileo’s good
2-year-olds won Group 1 races at seven furlongs. None of Montjeu’s juvenile Group 1
winners has shown the brilliance of Frankel, New Approach, or Teofilo.
Thus, it is not surprising that breeders’ preference for Galileo over Montjeu
has carried over to their sons. And there
is not the slightest doubt that the early
achievements of Galileo’s first two Group
1-winning 2-year-olds, Teofilo and New
Approach, outstrip those of Montjeu’s first
two, Motivator and Authorized.
Trading Leather’s Irish Derby win followed 2013 classic victories by New Approach’s son Dawn Approach in the 2000
Guineas and Talent in the Epsom Oaks,
while Treve’s French Oaks win was the
Montjeu, shown in October 2000, sired Authorized, who in turn sired Ambivalent,
the winner of the Group 1 Pretty Polly Stakes at The Curragh on June 30.
first for a Montjeu stallion.
It was Treve’s sire, Motivator, who first
put Montjeu on the map as a sire. From
Montjeu’s first crop, Motivator capped a
two-start, two-win juvenile season with
an easy victory in the Group 1 Racing Post
Trophy in 2004. Motivator trained on at
3 to provide Montjeu with the first of his
four Epsom Derby winners but failed to
win in three subsequent starts, though
he ran honorably when second in both the
Group 1 Eclipse Stakes and Irish Champion Stakes.
Treve (out of Trevise, by Anabaa) is
Motivator’s second Group 1 winner from
Motivator’s first three crops, following 2012 Group 1 Prix de l’Opera winner
Ridasiyna (Ridafa, by Darshaan), who was
the highweighted filly on the European
Free Handicap last year at 3. In fact, six
of Motivator’s eight group winners and
11 of his 16 stakes winners to date are fillies. Such gender imbalances tend to even
out over a sire’s career, but early ratios
frequently result in “filly sire” labels that
do young stallions no favors.
Motivator’s dam, Out West, by Gone
West, was a stakes winner at a mile in
England, from the great American family
tracing to the fast juvenile stakes winner
Lady Be Good, a family that has produced
several brilliant milers in Europe. Out
West also produced Motivator’s Group
2-winning full brother Macarthur and
stakes winner Imperial Star, by Fantastic
Light, earning English Broodmare of the
Year honors in 2005.
Motivator’s daughter Treve also is from
a distinguished European family with
American roots. Treve’s half-brother
Trois Rois, by Hernando, won stakes in
France, and their dam, Trevise, by champion sprinter Anabaa, is a full sister to
American stakes winner Tsigane. Treve’s
second dam, Trevillari, by Riverman,
is a full sister to Group 1 winner Treble,
and her third dam, Trevilla, by Lyphard,
was a half-sister to the brilliant Triptych,
by Riverman, a winner of nine Group 1
events. Treve’s fourth dam, the massive
American-bred mare Trillion, by Hail to
Reason, was a champion in France and
America and is a tail-female ancestress
of Group 1 or Grade 1 winners Tawqeet,
Tamarisk, and Amorama.
Authorized duplicated many of Motivator’s feats two years later. A winner of the
Racing Post Trophy in his second start
at 2, he became Montjeu’s second Epsom
Derby winner at 3 but did better than
Motivator subsequently by winning the
Group 1 Juddmonte International Stakes.
His dam, Funsie, by Saumarez, was unraced and produced nothing else of note
but hails from one of the best families in
Europe over the past five decades, that of
the American-bred mare Ampola, by Pavot. Francophile American breeder Gertrude Widener raced Ampola’s daughters
Polamia, by Mahmoud, and Sly Pola, by
Spy Song, in France, and their daughters
vastly expanded one of the best families in
the Stud Book.
Ampola’s descendants include champions and/or classic winners Grey Dawn
II, Zagora, Sulamani, Dream Well, Right
Away, Alhaarth, Makfi, and Green Dancer. Funsie’s dam, Vallee Dansante, by
Lyphard, was a half-sister to French classic winner and leading sire Green Dancer,
by Nijinsky II. Funsie is a half-sister to
three stakes winners, including Group
3 winner Brooklyn’s Dance, by Shirley
Heights, the dam of six stakes winners,
including 2012 Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe
winner Solemia, by Poliglote.
Brooklyn’s Dance’s daughter Brooklyn’s
Storm, by Storm Cat, also is the granddam
of 2012 French highweighted juvenile filly
Silasol, by Monsun, who trained on to win
the Group 1 Prix Saint-Alary this year
and finished third behind Treve in the
French Oaks. Vallee Dansante’s daughter
Krissante, by Kris, is the dam of French
highweighted 2-year-old Okawango, by
Kingmambo, while another daughter
of Vallee Dansante, Quest of Fire, by
Rainbow Quest, is the granddam of German and Italian highweight Quijano, by
Acatenango.
Ambivalent is Authorized’s first Group
1 winner, and she, too, has a pedigree to
match with American roots. Her dam,
the stakes-placed Darrery, by Darshaan,
already has produced jumps stakes winner Made in Japan, by Barathea, and two
stakes-placed runners.
Darrery’s winning daughter Diary, by
Green Desert, is the dam of Group 1 Prix
de l’Abbaye de Longchamp winner Total
Gallery, by Namid, and the stakes winner Tempest Fugit, by High Chaparral.
Ambivalent’s second dam, the Americanbred Flamenco, by Dance Spell, captured
the Group 3 Waterford Candelabra Stakes.
The family arrived in America in the
1960s via the Chilean champion Aysha,
by Forest Row, and has produced a steady
stream of stakes winners without producing anything of special merit.
Both Motivator and Authorized could
use a high-class colt to really put them
on the map with breeders, and both have
3-year-old colts who just might do that.
Motivator, who moved to the Head family’s
Haras de Quesnay this year, is the sire of
Sky Hunter, who ran third in the Prix du
Jockey-Club (French Derby) in his fourth
start. Authorized’s promising son Sugar
Boy won the Group 3 Bet365 Classic Trial
Stakes but pulled up very sore when finishing a disappointing last behind Trading Leather in the Irish Derby.
Despite his disappointing campaign
so far this year, Montjeu’s fourth Derby
winner, Camelot, is certain to be given a
superb opportunity at stud and is likely
to have the best chance of extending his
sire’s male line. Until that day comes,
though, Motivator and Authorized still
have the chance to come up with the “big
horse” that defines a young sire’s career.

Square Eddie making a
mark with small first crop
Benoit & associates
Square Eddie returned from a suspensory injury Jan. 14, 2011, to win an allowance race and set a Santa Anita Park track record for 6 1/2 furlongs with a time of 1:13.11.
By Steve andersen
The success the young stallion Square
Eddie has with his first crop of runners
this year has a homemade feel.
When Square Eddie went to stud in early 2010, there was nominal interest from
outside breeders, owner Paul Reddam
recalls. Reddam raced Square Eddie for
most of his career and backed the stallion
with his own mares that first year.
“The first crop is pretty much mine that
I bred to him,” Reddam said in late June.
“There are a couple of outside horses.”
Already, Reddam has been rewarded.
Square Eddie got his first stakes winner
when Sprouts won the $100,250 Cinderella Stakes for 2-year-old fillies at Betfair
Hollywood Park on June 15. The filly’s
win has given Square Eddie the early lead
among California’s juvenile stallions,
ranked by progeny earnings.
Through Monday, Square Eddie’s prog-
eny had earned $139,380. He had two winners from his first four runners, including Smoove It, a filly who won a $52,000
maiden special weight race at five furlongs
in her second start at Hollywood Park on
June 29.
“So far, so good, for sure,” Reddam said.
“I couldn’t be more pleased with the way
things are going.”
Square Eddie, a 7-year-old by Smart
Strike, had 33 foals in his first crop in 2011,
according to Jockey Club statistics. For
his second crop, Reddam again strongly
support the stallion with his own mares.
According to The Jockey Club, Square Eddie had 31 foals of 2012. He was bred to 45
mares that year.
Reddam, best known for winning the
2012 Kentucky Derby and Preakness with
I’ll Have Another, raced Square Eddie for
most of his career, which included 3 wins

in 18 starts and earnings of $856,019. On the
track, Square Eddie was among the highestrated horses in his age group in the winter
of 2008-09 but was plagued by minor injuries.
In the fall of 2008, Square Eddie arrived
from England following a second in the
Group 3 Sirenia Stakes on the synthetic
track at Kempton Park. He quickly made a
favorable impression, winning his U.S. debut in a 9-1 upset in the Grade 1 Breeders’
Futurity at Keeneland in October 2008.
Square Eddie was the 7-2 favorite for
the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile at Santa Anita later that month but finished second
by 1 1/4 lengths to Midshipman. Square
Eddie went into the winter season as a
West Coast contender for the Triple Crown
but had an interrupted campaign. After
finishing second to The Pamplemousse
in the Grade 3 San Rafael Stakes at Santa
Anita in January, Square Eddie was sidelined with a cannon-bone injury.
If his racing career had ended then,
Reddam said, Square Eddie would not be
standing at stud in California.
“When he got hurt at the beginning of
his 3-year-old season, if he’d been retired
at that time, he would be standing in Kentucky,” Reddam said. “He was a Grade 1
winner at 2, second in the Breeders’ Cup,
and by Smart Strike.”
Reddam and trainer Doug O’Neill
tried desperately to have Square Eddie
ready for the 2009 Kentucky Derby. The
colt finished third behind Advice in the
Grade 2 Lexington Stakes at Keeneland
in April 2009 and was a candidate for the
Kentucky Derby until the days before the
race, when his soundness became too
great of a concern. Heat had been detected in a shin.
Square Eddie did not race again until the fall of 2009 and was winless in
four stakes in the final three months of
the year. After a suspensory injury was
detected in early February 2010, Square
Eddie went to stud at Vessels Stallion
Farm in Bonsall, Calif. Without the lateseason success in 2009, Reddam found he
was the primary supporter of the stallion.
Later that year, the suspensory injury
was reassessed, and a decision was made
to put Square Eddie back in training with
O’Neill. He returned to racing at Santa
Anita in January 2011 and had a memorable return, winning an allowance race
at 6 1/2 furlongs by 3 1/4 lengths in trackrecord time of 1:13.11.
Square Eddie did not win again in five
subsequent starts, including three Grade
1 races, to end his career.
Square Eddie stood for a fee of $5,000 in
2013. He is one of two notable freshman
stallions of 2013 standing in California
by Smart Strike, joined by Papa Clem, a
multiple stakes winner. Smart Strike, a
former leading stallion, is best known as
the sire of Curlin, the Horse of the Year in
2007 and 2008 and sire of this year’s Belmont Stakes winner, Palace Malice.
Sprouts gives Square Eddie his first stakes winner, capturing the Cinderella Stakes at Hollywood Park in June.
Square Eddie is out of Forty Gran, an El
Gran Senor mare who was stakes-placed
at Churchill Downs and Ellis Park.
With a small crop, Square Eddie will
need continued success from his runners to remain at or near the top of the
state’s first-crop stallion list. Reddam said
Sprouts, trained by Ed Freeman, will run
in the $100,000 California Thoroughbred
Breeders Association Stakes at Del Mar
on July 19.
Though the breeding season is over,
Square Eddie’s recent winners could lead
to support from breeders other than Reddam in 2014.
“A lot of people have been asking,” Reddam said. “People took notice.”
Reddam said the stallion’s progeny who
have raced this year do not represent all
the promising runners in his first crop.
“He has two or three others,” he said.
“I’ve gotten excited. We have the first crop,
the yearlings, the babies, and the mares in
foal. I feel like we took a chance, and we’re
in a good spot.”

Centralinteligence, under Victor Espinoza, wins the June 29 Triple Bend Handicap to become the first Grade 1 winner for his sire, dual classic winner Smarty Jones.
By Patrick reed
The result of last week’s Grade 1
Triple Bend Handicap at Betfair Hollywood Park brought satisfaction to astute
handicappers who selected 8-1 shot Centralinteligence and watched the 5-year-old
gelding pull away to a 3 1/2-length victory.
It did not take long, however, for a secondary wave of enthusiasm to rise following Centralinteligence’s first stakes
win, as remarks disseminated throughout
social media celebrating the first Grade 1
winner for 2004 champion and dual classic
winner Smarty Jones.
Centralinteligence,
a
hard-trying
West Coast-based runner with some nice
performances in the allowance ranks during 2011 and early 2012, missed almost a
year of racing due to knee chips following a sixth-place finish in last year’s Triple Bend. The gelding returned with a
fourth-place finish in a five-furlong stakes
at Hollywood in mid-May, then improved
to second behind Comma to the Top in
the Grade 3 Los Angeles Handicap at six
furlongs May 27.
Stretched out again to seven furlongs in
the Triple Bend, Centralinteligence powered past pacesetter Comma to the Top in
midstretch and won going away in 1:21.57,
posting a flashy 108 Beyer Speed Figure.
It is not surprising to see a wellspring
of support for Smarty Jones, who remains
a very popular horse among racing fans.
Superior horses emerge each year, and
some remain at top form long enough to
draw interest and even affection from
casual fans and the general public, but
Smarty Jones stirred something more.
His achievements in the spring of 2004,
and the storylines behind his connections,
place the Pennsylvania-bred son of Elusive Quality in the company of Zenyatta,
Rachel Alexandra, Barbaro, and Funny
Cide as the most popular North American

hot sire
racehorses of the young century.
Centralinteligence was bred by Patricia
Chapman, who, along with her late husband, Roy, owned and bred Smarty Jones
at their Someday Farm in New Hope, Pa.
Smarty Jones’s rise from Philadelphia
Park (now Parx Racing) and his dominance in Oaklawn’s prep races for the
Chapmans and trainer John Servis in
the spring of 2004 gave him an underdog
aura that built on the success of his 2003
predecessor, Funny Cide, and the popularity of the Hollywood movie “Seabiscuit,”
released in the summer of 2003.
Smarty Jones’s commanding win in the
Kentucky Derby and his thorough demolition of the Preakness field fueled a dizzying media whirlwind and set the stage for
a record crowd at Belmont Park on June 4,
2004. The events of that day created a lasting memory for those in attendance when
the crowd’s ear-shattering roar as the
horse turned for home was silenced in an
instant after the rallying Birdstone swept
to the lead inside the final sixteenth.
Smarty Jones never raced again after
his only defeat, retiring in August after
veterinarians diagnosed chronic bruising in his ankle joints. It can be argued
that the amount of public interest in horse
racing that swelled during the weeks
between the 2004 Kentucky Derby and
Belmont has not been matched since.
Syndicated for a reported $39 million,
and with the Chapmans retaining majority ownership, Smarty Jones began his
stud career in 2005 at Three Chimneys
Farm in Midway, Ky. Smarty Jones’s pedigree played a role in his outsider status;
his sire, Grade 3 winner Elusive Quality,
by Gone West, was well regarded at the
time but hardly elite, and his dam, the
Smile mare I’ll Get Along, was a multiple
stakes winner on the Mid-Atlantic circuit
who was early in her broodmare career.
Smarty Jones (aided by a $5 million
bonus from Oaklawn owner Charles Cella)
made Elusive Quality the leading North
American sire by earnings in 2004, and the
stallion has gone on to enjoy international
success, being represented by Breeders’
Cup Classic winner Raven’s Pass, top European filly Elusive Kate, Grade 1 winner
Quality Road, and Australian champion
Sepoy, to mention a few.
A lot of factors come into play in the formation of a successful stud career, but the
bottom line, as with everything in athletics, comes down to performance, and it is
safe to say that Smarty Jones’s initial foals
did not meet expectations when they hit the
racetrack. He only had two Grade 3 or Group
3 winners – Gilded Gem and Keiai Gebera,
the latter in Japan – from his 2006 crop, although Be Smart did finish second in the
2008 Grade 1 Alcibiades at Keeneland.
His second crop included Backtalk, the
winner of the Grade 2 Sanford and Grade
3 Bashford Manor as a 2-year-old in 2009
and a colt who held a lot of promise heading into his 3-year-old season. Backtalk
did not build on that success, although he
remained a useful runner through his last
start in 2011. He now stands at Bridlewood
Farm in Ocala, Fla.
Centralinteligence is from Smarty
Jones’s third crop, which includes solid
Grade 3 winner Rogue Romance and
Australian-bred Better Life, a dual champion in Singapore. Following the 2010
breeding season, Smarty Jones returned
to his native state and stands for a fee of
$7,500 at Northview Pennsylvania, a division of Northview Stallion Station, while
shuttling to Uruguay.
Centralinteligence’s dam, the unraced
Seattle Slew mare Shootforthestars, has
produced seven other winners, including
the Grade 2-placed General Consensus,
the stakes-placed Golden Rainbow, and
My Elusive Star. Shootforthestars is out
of the Grade 3 winner and Grade 1-placed
Lotta Dancing, by Alydar, who also has
produced Super Derby winner and sire
Fantasticat.
Given Centralinteligence’s improvement since his return to racing for trainer
Ron Ellis this spring, the gelding has a solid chance to add to both his own résumé
and that of his sire in the months ahead.
Smarty Jones stands for a $7,500 stud fee in his native Pennsylvania.

Catching up with dancethruthedawn
Mare haS
Big ShOeS
TO fill
By Nicole russo
Few horses in modern history, both on
the racetrack and in the breeding shed,
have faced higher expectations than
Dancethruthedawn.
The Sam-Son Farms homebred was
well regarded from birth as the first
filly out of 1991 Canadian Triple Crown
winner and prolific broodmare Dance
Smartly, who was among the most decorated runners to emerge from the operation’s foundation family.
By the time Dancethruthedawn entered the starting gate for the 2001 Queen’s
Plate, the bar had been set even higher,
as her full brother, Scatter the Gold, had
captured the first leg of the Canadian
Triple Crown a year before. Dancethruthedawn achieved her destiny that afternoon, carrying Sam-Son’s crimson and
gold colors to victory in the classic.
A Sovereign Award winner and an inductee into her home country’s Hall of
Fame, Dancethruthedawn has returned
to her birthplace to build on her family’s
legacy as a broodmare at Sam-Son in
Milton, Ontario.
Like the rest of the Sam-Son broodmares, Dancethruthedawn made the
trip to Kentucky to be bred this spring,
as the operation boards its mares at Hill
‘n’ Dale near Lexington and at Creek
View Farm, a division of Ashford Stud,
near Paris. After getting in foal, the
mares return to Ontario to deliver the
following spring so the resulting offspring will be eligible for Canadian-bred
stakes and incentives.
“[Dancethruthedawn is] doing great,”
Sam-Son broodmare manager Dave
Whitford said. “She’s back home, and
she’s out with her buddies – some other
mares who are open this year, not nursing mares. Most are back from Kentucky
now. We foal everything in Ontario, obviously, for the Canadian Fund program.
That’s our main focus – the Queen’s Plate
is still our main focus. Once the foals are
at least two weeks old, or right around
three weeks, we ship the mare and the
foal down to Kentucky so the mares can
be bred back to stallions down there.”
Dancethruthedawn, a daughter of Mr.
Prospector, won seven of her 16 career
Dave whitforD, sam-son farm
Dancethruthedawn (right), the 2001 Queen’s Plate winner, earned $1.6 million on the track and now is in foal to Tiznow.
starts, banking $1,609,643. A stakes winner and Grade 1-placed as a juvenile, she
blossomed in the spring of her 3-yearold campaign, capturing the Woodbine
Oaks. Just two weeks later, she held off
the favored Win City by a half-length to
capture the Queen’s Plate. In the process, she became the fourth filly to complete the Woodbine Oaks-Queen’s Plate
double, joining Flaming Page (1962),
La Lorgnette (1985), and her own dam,
Dance Smartly. Inglorious achieved the
feat in 2011.
Dancethruthedawn went on to finish second to Win City in the Prince of
Wales Stakes, the second leg of the Canadian Triple Crown. She continued
her career with an assault in the United
States the following season, winning the
Grade 1 Go for Wand at Saratoga and the
Doubledogdare at Keeneland and placing in three graded stakes. She exited
the Grade 1 Spinster that fall with a nondisplaced fracture to her right leg, which
ended her racing career, and she joined
Sam-Son’s broodmare band.
These days, the assertive presence
that marked Dancethruthedawn as a top
racemare is still very much in evidence.
However, Whitford said the mare is easy
to work with.
“She’s a little bit of a loner,” Whitford
said. “She sort of likes to stay to herself
in the herd. She’s very sweet; [there’s]
not a mean bone in her body. She’s very
friendly and wants to come up for a mint
or a carrot at every opportunity. She is
great to do any kind of work with – the
farrier, the vet, reproductive care, vaccines, you name it. She’s a sweet girl,
and she stands her ground with the rest
of the herd. She doesn’t take any non-

sense.”
Dancethruthedawn hails from the
fourth generation of Sam-Son’s remarkable foundation family. The operation’s
founder, the late Ernie Samuel, purchased the mare’s third dam, No Class,
by champion and leading sire Nodouble,
for $25,000 at the 1975 Canadian Thoroughbred Horse Society yearling sale.
Stakes-placed herself, No Class went
on to produce champions Sky Classic, Classy ‘n Smart, Regal Classic, and
Grey Classic, as well as Grade 1 winner Always a Classic. Classy ‘n Smart,
in turn, produced Dance Smartly,

nent sire Smart Strike, Grade 1 winner Full of Wonder, and Grade 2
winner Strike Smartly.
Dance Smartly, Canada’s Horse of the
Year in 1991 and a divisional Sovereign
Award and Eclipse Award winner, was
inducted into both the Canadian and
U.S. Halls of Fame. As a broodmare, she
produced, in addition to Dancethruthedawn and Scatter the Gold, Grade 2
winner Dance With Ravens, the Grade
3-placed Dance to Destiny, and the
stakes-placed Dance Brightly. With the
exception of Dance With Ravens, a son
of A.P. Indy, all were by Mr. Prospector. Two of Dance Smartly’s daughters,
Dancethruthedawn and Dance to the
Sea, by Gone West, are current members of the Sam-Son broodmare band.
“Incredibly, No Class is responsible
for 10 mares in our broodmare band of
25,” Whitford said. “She’s still a huge
influence in there – by far the most influence of any family in our broodmare
band. We have to go through mares every year and decide who stays and who
goes. There are fillies coming out of the
racing stable that might bump somebody, or someone is retiring and gets
replaced. It’s a revolving door.
“We’ve sold a lot of [daughters of] No Class, a lot of race fillies through the years. We’ve obviously kept as many of the No Class
line [as possible]. With 10 mares
strong, we have kept a lot of them. It’s
always been a difficult decision. You
never want to give away the golden
goose. But the family has been very,
very good to us.”
Dancethruthedawn’s own breeding career has been somewhat
unlucky. From five foals to survive to racing age, including a
current juvenile, the mare has
produced just two starters, both winners. One of those, Dark Cloud Dancer,
started in the 2010 Queen’s Plate, but
the Storm Cat colt could manage only
sixth.
“He had some ability and showed
some promise early in his career, but
it didn’t materialize,” Whitford said of
Dark Cloud Dancer. “You would hope
a racemare like Dancethruthedawn
would have produced some serious runners by now. She was a Grade 1 winner
at Saratoga, a Queen’s Plate winner,
everything you want in a race filly. But
she’s been a little unlucky in her reproductive career. She’s had some losses
and some other foals that have not made
it to the racetrack, unfortunately.”
Now 15, Dancethruthedawn was not
bred for a 2013 foal after delivering late
last season; unfortunately, her resulting Medaglia d’Oro foal died at seven
weeks old. The mare is in foal to twotime Breeders’ Cup Classic winner and
WinStar Farm stallion Tiznow on an
early cover.
“We just felt very strongly that
Tiznow was a fantastic racehorse,”
Whitford said of the pairing. “His
progeny are proven to train on at 3 and
4 years old, and he gives us our best
chance at the classic type of distance
we’re looking for here – a mile and a
quarter for the Queen’s Plate, that’s the
type of horse that we love and cherish
and want to breed to. And he does work
very well with the Mr. Prospector-line
mares and the Storm Cat-line mares.”
Dancethruthedawn’s daughters also
are beginning their own broodmare careers, and showing some promise. The
mare’s first foal, the winning A.P. Indy
mare Dance With Doves, is the dam of
the winner Dance Again, who recently
finished fifth in the Woodbine Oaks for
Sam-Son.
“Dance With Doves did have some talent, and we just weren’t able to keep her
sound,” Whitford said. “We were a little
disappointed with [Dance Again in the
Oaks], but we still have high expectations for her. She is a nice filly. We hope
she’ll carry on the banner a little later
in the year.”
Sam-Son sold another daughter, Danceinthesunlight, for $675,000 at the 2008
Keeneland November breeding-stock
sale. Now owned by Southern Equine
Stables, the mare is the dam of two winners from as many starters.
“[Dancethruthedawn] really hasn’t
had a great opportunity to prove herself as a broodmare, but there’s still
time there,” Whitford said. “She’s a
1998 model, so we’re hoping to get a
few more foals yet. Even her daughters
[could be productive], so she may still
be a valuable part of history and moving forward.”
The next member of Dancethruthedawn’s family to carry the colors for
Sam-Son will be the mare’s 2-year-old
filly, Coastal Dawn. The daughter of
Giant’s Causeway received her early
lessons under the tutelage of Tom Zwiesler at Sam-Son’s private training
center in Ocala, Fla., and was to arrive
at Woodbine to continue her training in
late June or early July.
“We’re in no big hurry with them,”
Whitford said.
Sam-Son has strong hand in Queen’s Plate
By Nicole russo
Although she won 10 stakes races and
earned a championship, Wilderness
Song never quite gained the fame she
deserved, racing for much of her career
in the shadow of her stablemate, 1991
Canadian Triple Crown winner Dance
Smartly. Wilderness Song was again
relegated to the background when joining Dance Smartly in the broodmare
band at their birthplace, Sam-Son
Farms in Milton, Ontario, as Dance
Smartly produced two classic winners.
Still, when the field goes to the post
for the Queen’s Plate on Sunday at
Woodbine, it will be Wilderness Song
who could be responsible for writing
the next chapter in the farm’s history.
Wilderness Song, who died in 2011
at age 23, is the second dam of likely
Queen’s Plate favorite Up With the
Birds, who will seek to give Sam-Son its
sixth victory in the race. The Stormy
Atlantic colt, who comes into the race
off a dominant victory in the Marine
Stakes at Woodbine, is the first foal out
of the winning Seeking the Gold mare
Song of the Lark.
“[Wilderness Song] was a fantastic
racemare but never really produced
a significant runner for us,” Sam-Son
broodmare manager Dave Whitford
said. “But one of her daughters, her
first foal is Up With the Birds. We’re
hoping that family will stay strong and
get rejuvenated.”
Wilderness Song, a daughter of
Wild Again, showed early promise as a juvenile, winning the
Grade 3 Mazarine Stakes and the
Princess Elizabeth Stakes before
faltering to finish eighth in the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies. Dance
Smartly was third in that event,
locking up the divisional Sovereign
Award. The following spring, Wilderness Song won the Fury Stakes
before finishing second to Dance
Smartly in the Canadian Oaks. The
stablemates met again in the Queen’s
Plate, where Dance Smartly romped by
eight lengths, with Wilderness Song a
clear second.
After finishing fifth in the Prince of
Wales Stakes as Dance Smartly continued her march toward the Canadian
Triple Crown, Wilderness Song spent
the rest of the summer and fall competing against fillies, posting three
straight stakes victories, culminating with a win in the Grade 1 Spinster
Stakes at Keeneland. However, she
again failed to fire at the Breeders’
Cup, finishing seventh in the Distaff as
Dance Smartly rolled to a win, locking
up Canada’s Horse of the Year title and
two divisional championships.
The following season, Wilderness Song
recorded six stakes wins or placings,
including a 5 1/2-length score in
the Grade 2 Churchill Downs Budweiser
Breeders’
Cup
Handicap
and a game neck victory in the
Pimlico
Distaff
Handicap.
The
campaign earned her a Sovereign
Award as Canada’s champion older
female. In 1993, Wilderness Song captured the Grade 2 Molly Pitcher Handicap and the Grade 3 Monmouth Park
Budweiser Breeders’ Cup Handicap.
She retired following that season with
earnings of $1,482,033, second only to
Dance Smartly among Canadian females. She was inducted into the Canadian Horse Racing Hall of Fame in 2008.
Wilderness Song was a consistent
broodmare for Sam-Son, producing six
winners from seven starters, including the Grade 2-placed Go to the Sun.
However, she never came close to replicating herself. Her true impact has
begun to be shown through her daugh-
ters, as Song of the Lark is her third
stakes producer. Another daughter,
the Storm Cat mare Wilderness Storm,
produced the stakes winner Murmur,
while Song of the Wild, by Gone West,
produced the stakes-placed Giant’s
Tomb.
“Most people gamble on the fact that
a good racemare makes a good broodmare, and I think that holds true,”
Whitford said. “People want to pay big
money for fillies that have a race record.
Even if they don’t produce for you, it
seems it skips a generation. It will pay
off down the road. Their daughters still
start producing good runners. If people
are afraid they’re not going to get the
payout immediately, it’s just a matter of
time, if they’re in it for the long run –
it’s going to pay off for them.”
Up With the Birds leads a strong pair of
homebreds for Sam-Son into the Queen’s
Plate, both of whom represent Sam-Son’s
long-term approach to developing families. Sam-Son’s other contender is His
Race to Win, who was second by a nose in
the Plate Trial on June 9. The Stormy Atlantic colt is out of the stakes-placed Gone
West mare Fleet of Foot, whose dam, the
unraced Seattle Classic, is a half-sister to
Dance Smartly.
