MAKE BELIEVE Trained by Andre Fabre, Make Believe will become the first son of Makfi to stand at stud, where he will command a fee of €20,000. Unbeaten in two runs at two, he was second, beaten a head in the Gr.3 Prix Djebel prior to his French Classic success. He bounced back from a poor run in the Gr.1 St James’s Palace Stakes to score a comfortable win in the Gr.1 Prix de la Foret on the Arc undercard. He finished his racing career with a fifth in the Gr.1 Breeders’ Cup Mile. Bred by Aston Mullins Stud, he is a three-parts brother to the dual American Gr.1 winner Dubawi Heights (Dubawi), out of the winning Suave Dancer mare Rosie’s Posy. continued on page 18. EBN Sales Talk is brought to you by IRT Click here to contact IRT, or visit www.irt.com DUBAWI COLT PROVIDES SHOW STOPPING FINALE A son of the elite sire Dubawi out of the Classic-winning Nightime provided a superb centerpiece to this year’s Goffs November Foal Sale when selling to John Ferguson for €1.1m. Given his lineage the sale-topping Dubawi made compelling appeal on paper and he more than matched that as an individual and a palpable air of expectation descended on Goffs as he made his entrance to the ring and, even at this stage, every vantage point in the auditorium was taken while auctioneer Henry Beeby described him as a ‘stunning type with a stallion’s pedigree’. The bidding for The Castlebridge Consignment offering (Lot 1129) began at €100,000 and then steadily worked its way towards seven figures and in the latter stages John Ferguson and PROVEN TOP CLASS SON OF DANEHILL CAMACHO u Yearlings made up to €90,000 in 2015 u Probably the best value stallion at stud Brother to Show casing u The best is yet to come!

Ferguson was the first to bring the price to seven figures and when he countered Araci’s offer of an additional €50,000 the colt was his. The second most expensive foal to have come under the hammer in Ireland, the colt is the latest produce of Nightime (Galileo), who famously won the Gr.1 Irish 1,000 Guineas for Dermot Weld and his late mother, Margeurite, in 2006. “He needs little explanation. Dick O’Gorman and the Darley team had seen him on the farm and liked how he had progressed and he came here this week and showed himself off very well. He’s by a great sire out of a great racemare and fingers crossed that we have a racehorse on our hands,” declared Ferguson. Despite producing a seven-figure top lot, the five-day sale was unable to match last year’s returns. The aggregate of almost €26m was down by six per cent, while the €31,950 average fell by 14 points. Furthermore, the median dropped from €22,000 to €18,000 and the clearance rate fell by eight points to 77 per cent. In an end of sale statement, Goffs Group Chief Executive, Henry Beeby said: “The Dubawi was the highlight of another superb Goffs Foal Sale that has enjoyed a trade of depth, consistency and real fireworks, especially for those that appealed the most. That we were entrusted to offer the only Galileo colt foal of the year anywhere is also a wonderful endorsement of the Goffs service and it was fitting that he was the second highest price of the sale. “Whilst we have not kept pace with the records set last year the statistics are the second best on record, which is the cause for some Henry Beeby puts the hammer down at €1,100,000 for the Dubawi colt out of the Classic winner Nightime (Galileo). celebration, although it must be noted that the clearance rate is less than 2014, which mirrors the trends seen throughout the autumn at the yearling sales. “However, this is very much the first choice for the cream of the Irish foal crop every year at a sale at which pinhookers, end users and international buyers choose to invest and it is revealing that today’s median price actually rose by six per cent and the clearance rate was an impressive 84 per cent.

This colt (Lot 1182) was knocked down to the intriguingly named Hunday after the purchaser outlasted Andreas Putsch and indications were that he would be reoffered as a yearling. The Galileo hailed from Swordlestown Little and is a halfbrother to the Gr.2 Railway Stakes winner Lilbourne Lad (Acclamation). The colt is the most expensive offspring to date to sell out of the mare Sogno Verde (Green Desert), who has also bred the Gr.3-placed Bobbyscot (Alhaarth) and this season’s useful three-year-old Roberstown (Raven’s Pass). Easily one of the best bred foals on offer this week was a daughter of New Approach offered from Jim Bolger’s Redmonstown Stud and she was snapped up by Dermot Farrington for €450,000. On the corresponding day last year Farrington created Irish bloodstock auction history when paying €1.8m for the filly foal by Frankel out of Finsceal Beo. Trainer Dermot Weld, vendor of that sales-topping €1,100,000 Dubawi colt, with Ryan McElligott. Ibrahim Araci, who was the underbidder on the top lot to John Ferguson, but had won an earlier battle with him for the Dark Angel colt Lot 1115 from Balintougher Stud. As a breeding prospect alone, Farrington’s purchase made tremendous appeal as her dam, Scribonia (Danehill), has already bred the Gr.3 Albany Stakes winner and Gr.1 1,000 Guineassecond Cuis Ghaire (Galileo), the Gr.1 Coronation Stakes-second Gile Na Greine (Galileo), the Gr.3-winning Scintillula (Galileo) and the Gr.3-placed Claiomh Solais (Teofilo). “She’s a lovely filly with a super page. She’s been bought as a racing and breeding prospect and it’s just very hard to get these types of fillies,” remarked Farrington, who was acting for an undisclosed client. Dark Angel’s striking and unrelenting rise through the stallion ranks over the last few years has meant that his progeny have been a red hot commodity in the sales ring for the last few months and the Yeomanstown Stud resident reached another milestone yesterday when his colt Lot 1115 from Balintougher Stud sold for €370,000. The most expensive foal to be sold by his sire, the quality grey was the subject of a battle between Rob Speers, acting for Ibrahim Araci, and John Ferguson from which the former emerged victorious after the pair traded quick fire bids from around €200,000. The colt in question is a son of Kevin Prendergast’s Gr.1 Phoenix Stakes heroine Miss Beatrix, whose progeny to date include the Gr.3-placed Jally (Tamayuz) and the very smart Turkish runner Tamga (Azamour). “We actually know the family very well as Mr Araci bought a We Buy • We Sell • We Board MANISTER HOUSE STUD Croom, Co.

He was with the late Sir Henry Cecil and showed a lot of promise, but unfortunately he never got a chance to run and Tamga, who is also out of the mare, is down in the catalogue as a Listed-placed horse but he’s a Gr.1 horse in Turkey. “The sire needs absolutely no introduction at this stage, he’s a serious sire and it’s very, very hard to compete at the likes of Book 1 so we are delighted to have picked up the two horses that we did today and hopefully they are two exciting prospects for next year,” commented Rob Speers. An outstanding colt from Nelius Hayes’s Knockainey Stud became the most expensive foal by Kodiac to come up for auction as he sold to Blandford Bloodstock’s Richard Brown for €260,000. As has been evidence throughout the autumn and this week, Kodiac’s star continues to rise following another superb season for the Tally-Ho Stud resident and within an hour yesterday the record price for a foal by the Danehill horse was smashed twice. This colt (Lot 1068) is out of a winning Arch half-sister to the Gr.3 scorer Summertime Legacy (dam of the Gr.1 winners Mandaean and Wavering, as well as the Gr.1-placed Winters Moon) so he made notable appeal on pedigree and his price quickly sped past €100,000. For a period John Ferguson looked as though he might secure the colt but Brown saw off Ferguson and several other rivals late when bringing the price to €260,000. “He’s been bought to resell for Corduff Stud. He’s a smashing individual, a serious horse and he was one that really struck myself, James and David [Egan]. Obviously, the stallion is going from strength to strength and this colt is coming off an excellent farm, Nelius is a very, very good breeder,” commented Brown. Earlier, the record price for a Kodiac foal was briefly held by a colt (Lot 1055) from Foxland Stud, who was knocked down to the busy John Ferguson for €170,000. The March-born colt is the third produce of the Listed Hurry Harriet Stakes scorer and dual Gr.3placed Duchess Of Foxland (Medecis). This week’s catalogue contained just one foal by Oasis Dream and he sold to Ballyshiel Farm for €210,000. The colt was offered through The Castlebridge Consignment and he is the first produce of Harmonic Note (Nayef), whose racing career yielded two wins and a third in the Listed Height Of Fashion Stakes. Harmonic Note came from relatively humble beginnings as she was an €18,000 graduate of the Goresbridge Breeze-Up Sale, before then selling for 135,000gns at the Tattersalls December Mares Sale. The star member of Camelot’s first crop of foals that were on offer yesterday came when a €180,000 colt was snapped up by BALLINALARD STUD EXCEPTIONAL OPPORTUNITY FOR BOARDING Year round and seasonal boarding is now available at our family run, fenced and paddocked 100 acre stud farm in the heart of the Golden Vale, Tipperary.

The colt, who hails from the same family as Thursday’s €150,000 session topper by Zoffany, attracted interest from a host of would be purchasers, but eventually the hammer fell in favour of Rob Speers, who was acting for owner Ibrahim Araci. Their purchase (Lot 1039) was consigned by Killourney Mor Farm and he is out of the Danehill mare Close Regards, who is already responsible for the recent Australian Gr.1 scorer Magic Hurricane (Hurricane Run) and the Stakes-placed Maybe Grace (Hawk Wing). Interestingly, Araci was underbidder on Camelot as a yearling and he was understandably keen to secure a foal by the Montjeu horse. “Mr Araci saw quite a bit of the sire in this colt. He was underbidder on Camelot as a yearling and followed his career closely. Camelot is unproven, but he was a very good horse and came within a hair’s breadth of winning the Triple Crown. We’re very impressed by Camelot’s stock and this colt’s half-brother, Magic Hurricane, is by another son of Montjeu. He’ll be a very exciting horse to put into training next year,” stated Speers. As well as signing for the sale topper, Ferguson made a host of other purchases throughout the day and these included a €300,000 colt (Lot 1178), who is the most expensive foal to come under the hammer from Dawn Approach’s first crop. The chesnut was representing quite a coup for Esker Lodge Stud as they picked up his Listed-placed dam Simonetta (Lil’s Boy) for €50,000 at the mares sale here last year. She comes from an outstanding Jim Bolger dynasty that has produced one Pattern race performer after another in recent years. Ferguson then matched this price for a Dark Angel colt from Springfort Park Stud. Lot 1201 is out of a Stakes-placed half-sister to the Gr.1 Golden Jubilee Stakes and Gr.1 Nunthorpe Stakes hero Kingsgate Native. Also destined for the Darley team is a €280,000 son of Invincible Spirit (Lot 1162) half-brother to the Listed winner Dusky Queen (Shamardal) and the Gr.3-placed Achnaha (Haatef). Much earlier, Ferguson signed for a €190,000 son of Invincible Spirit (Lot 1023) hailing from the Irish National Stud. Eddie O’Leary was among those that had to settle for the role of under bidder on the first produce of the Listed Conqueror Stakes winner and dual Gr.3-placed Boastful (Clodovil). The Shadwell Estates team made their second six-figure purchase of the week when going to €180,000 for a chesnut son of Dawn Approach from Altenbach Bloodstock, from whom they purchased a €120,000 Harbour Watch colt on Thursday. Sheikh Hamdan Al Maktoum’s purchase is out of the successful producer Gazebo (Cadeaux Genereux), whose runners to date include the Listed Flame Of Tara Stakes heroine Forthefirstime (Dr Fong) and the Listed National Stakes scorer Pyman’s Theory (Exceed And Excel). Towards the outset of the day a Rockton Stud-consigned son of Dawn Approach sold to the Italian outfit We Bloodstock for €160,000.

Below are the top four colts and fillies according to the ItaliaForm ratings, as well as a couple of young horses to follow for next season. The ratings for all Italian races are provided on the website www.easyhorses.it. The ratings are in kilos and for ease of conversion 113 of ItaliaForm is equal to 113 in RPR terms. BIZ HEART (Ire), 2c, Roderic O’Connor – Biz Bar (Tobougg) O: WE Bloodstock, B: Le Gi, T: Stefano Botti €97,000 SGA Selected Sale The Gr.2 Gran Criterium, run on heavy ground and at a strong pace, turned into a real test of stamina. Biz Heart (Roderic O’Connor) handled the conditions well and scored fair and square, fighting back when challenged by Basileus (Dream Ahead) inside the last furlong. The third, a little more than seven lengths behind, was Gerrard’s Quest (Captain Gerrard), a colt with decent British form rated 94 and a reliable guide to assess the rating. Biz Heart is in the range of 108/110 and ItaliaForm has him at 112.5, half a kilo lower than the two last winners of the Italian Championship event for twoyear-olds, Hero Look (Lope De Vega) and Priore Philip (Dane Friendly). A quick look at his pedigree suggests that he could be a doubtful stayer. His sire Roderic O’Connor (Galileo) ran well below his par when tried three times over ten furlongs and more, while his dam Biz Bar (Tobougg) landed a Listed race over 1500m at two, but failed to win another subsequently over further. Biz Bar ran her best race when fifth beaten by not much in the Gr.2 Oaks d’Italia over 2200m at San Siro. The best of her previous two Group winners – from three foals – was Biz The Nurse (Oratorio), a genuine 2400m performer who won the Gr.2 Derby Italiano and the Gr.1 Gran Premio di Milano. The distaff section of his pedigree leaves little doubt about his stamina: the third dam Poelish Hills, by Danzig, is a half sister to Niniski (Nijinsky), who won the Gr.1 Irish St Leger and Gr.1 Prix Royal-Oak. Biz Heart ran his only bad race when fourth on firm ground in the Listed Premio de Montel in early July at San Siro. His lack of maturity was the main reason. ItaliaForm 112.5 POETA DILETTO (GB), 2c, Poet’s Voice – Mia Diletta (Selkirk) O/B: Scuderia Blueberry, T: Stefano Botti The Gr.3 Premio Guido Berardelli over 1800m has a chequered record, mostly due to the seasonally heavy ground. In those conditions even the Champion Falbrav got beaten by the moderate performer Mistero (Portrait Gallery) back in 2000. Good to firm ground is not usual in November, even at Capannelle. The fast surface provided a genuine result this year and Poeta Diletto led home a 1-2 for Poet’s Voice and trainer Stefano Botti, outbattling Voice Of Love. The British raider Viren’s Army (Twirling Candy) ran on well, three quarters of a length behind, to give handicappers a bit of help.

The fast pace set by Voice Of Love is another sign of strength and the final time (1.49.5) was just 7/10 of a second slower than the race record set in 2013 by Gentlemen Only, a Gr.1 winner in Hong Kong as Beauty Only. Poeta Diletto, narrowly beaten on his debut at San Siro, strolled home three weeks before the Berardelli in a maiden over 1700m. According to the figures provided by Sandro Marranini’s ItaliaForm, he improved 11.5kg for his Group win. The chesnut colt needed every yard of the 1800m trip to beat the brave Voice Of Love and has scope for improvement. A juvenile win over 1800m causes some to misjudge a horse’s stamina. Poeta Diletto is bred to stay a mile. His sire Poet’s Voice was tried twice at 2000m and was very disappointing on good to soft turf in the Gr.1 Champion Stakes and on Tapeta when last in the Gr.1 Dubai World Cup. Poeta Diletto is the second foal and winner out of Mia Diletta, a dual Listed winner over 1500m at three. It would not be a surprise if next spring he developed into a decent miler like his dam’s sire Selkirk. ItaliaForm 110.5 VOICE OF LOVE (Ire), 2c, Poet’s Voice – Snowfield (Tale Of The Cat) O: Scuderia Effevi, B: Le Gi, T: Stefano Botti €46,000 SGA Selected Sale by Scuderia Effevi A slight change in the calendar allowed Voice Of Love the chance to try the Berardelli after his easy three-length win in the Listed Premio Campobello over 1800m at San Siro. The chesnut colt put up another game effort at Capannelle to finish a season in which he finished first or second in all six of his starts. He is a model of consistency and two of his defeats came by a head and a nose. He is a half-brother to the three-year-old Time Chant (War Chant), who also won the Campobello and was third after meeting with trouble in the Gr.2 Derby Italiano. Time Chant was campaigned as a 2400m horse and he won the Listed Gran Premio d’Italia over that trip, but failed to show his true form in the Gr.1 Gran Premio del Jockey Club in heavy going. ItaliaForm 110.5 BASILEUS (Ire), 2c, Dream Ahead – Miss Mariduff (Hussonet) O: Michele Crecco, B: Gennaro Stimola, T: Stefano Botti €36,000 SGA Selected Sale by Scuderia Aleali The Gr.3 Premio Parioli is the obvious target for Basileus (Dream Ahead), runner-up to Biz Heart in the Gr.2 Gran Criterium. Trainer Stefano Botti was adamant after the race when he said that stamina made the difference between his two colts. Basileus, who flashed home on his debut at Capannelle and landed a conditions race at San Siro, is “just a miler”, but a good one. He is gifted with a blazing turn of foot and, even though he handled the heavy ground in the Gr.2 at San Siro, he will relish a faster surface. He is a half-brother to the Gr.2 winner Porsenna (Dylan Thomas) and the Gr.3-placed Astrelle (Makfi). His dam Miss Mariduff (Hussonet) is out of the Gr.2 scorer and Gr.1-placed Sopran Mariduff (Persian Bold), a half-sister to Snowfield, the dam of Voice Of Love. ItaliaForm 110 Lette’s go!

Cassina De Pomm (Pounced) merely did her job, finishing the season with a perfect record of three wins from three starts. She was visually unimpressive, but ItaliaForm credited her with a flattering mark of 111, three kilos higher than the winners from the last four years, that converts in OR terms to 109. She received a more typical RPR of 101. The correct accessment of the rating is difficult because of the lack of foreign runners, but probably the real mark is in the middle and Cassina De Pomm is a “standard Dormello winner”. She has shown significant improvement on each start and is expected to stay further. She is the first Group winner by the young and promising sire Pounced (Rahy) and is from the famous “Crenelle-line”, that of the Derby Italiano winners Crackerjack King, Awelmarduk and other high-class performers like Jakkalberry. ItaliaForm 111 IDENTITY RUN FAST (Ire), 2f, Footstepsinthesand – Tipperary Boutique (Danehill Dancer) O: Scuderia Tignanello, B: Mountarmstrong Stud, T: Antonio Marcialis 26,000gns Tattersalls October Yearling Sale Book 3 by Ambition Stud Partnership Identity Run Fast (Footstepsinthesand) ran a gallant race in the Premio Dormello, closing fast for second just three parts of a length behind Cassina De Pomm after traffic troubles. After a third on her debut behind a couple of good fillies, she opened her account beating a decent colt in Vettori Rules (Aussie Rules). Her connections decided to play safe after the Dormello and she will walk the Premio Regina Elena trail next season. ItaliaForm 110 AQUILA SOLITARIA (Ire), 2f, Raven’s Pass – Alta Fedeltà (Oasis Dream) O/B: Scuderia Incolinx, T: Il Cavallo In Testa The well-regarded filly was campaigned with the Premio Dormello as her intended main target. She followed up a game win on her debut with a second in the Listed Premio Coolmore, but failed to get the Dormello trip, fading badly in the last furlong. The decision to switch her back to 1200m paid dividends in the Listed Premio Ubaldo Pandolfi. She scored by three and half lengths in good style.

Her connections then made the surprising move of running the filly over 1500m in the Listed Criterium Femminile. She set a strong pace and recorded an uncontested three-length win and gained a 109 ItaliaForm mark. The British raider and Listed-placed Make Fast (Makfi), failed to perform, but the runner-up Rabiosa Fiore (Sakhee’s Secret) and the third Endless Summer (Pounced) provided solid yardsticks for the form. Victim Of Love showed enough speed to consider the Premio Regina Elena, and probably also has the stamina for the Oaks d’Italia.

He set a slow pace and ITALIAN RACING AND BLOODSTOCK NEWS ~ CONTINUED ran on strongly to score in a maiden over 1700m on very soft ground by four lengths. He gained a 101.5 ItaliaForm mark and could develop into a serious candidate for the Premio Parioli. The first three dams have not returned a Group winner, but Don Aurelio has run faster than his pedigree and is trained by Peppe di Chio, who has had a brilliant season, with a 34%-winning strike rate from his small string of just eight juveniles.

A month later, in a fillies’ maiden over 1800m, she made the running and came home in a canter, seven lengths clear. She was credited with a 99 ItaliaForm mark, but is much better than that. Some form experts put her in the 108-110 range. Endo Botti rates her a bright prospect, possibly a filly for the Oaks d’Italia. She is the second winner out of Vee Gita (Vettori), a halfsister to the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Hero Vale Of York, whose foal, a filly by Kodiac was purchased on Thursday by Kilmoney Cottage Stud for €140,000 at Goffs November Sale.

He will be back for resale next year,” stated Stauffenberg.

CAPE THOROUGHBRED SALE MAYFAIR SPECULATORS SCOOP TOP BERNARDINI FILLY A month after the Johannesburg edition of the Cape Thoroughbred Sales Ready To Run Sale, the show moved a thousand miles to the south of the country, to the picturesque country racecourse in Durbanville, a burgeoning town 20 minutes outside of Cape Town and widely regarded as the point at which you will start to come across South Africa’s most famous vineyards. The racecourse, an undulating left-handed turf course is typically used during the wet winter months when the Cape’s main racecourse, Kenilworth Racecourse, is rested. But, it also serves as a venue for racecourse gallops by the Province’s training fraternity and is host to the breeze-up gallops, which were held on Thursday morning. Many a good judge regarded the gallop of Lot 100, the athletic daughter of Bernardini, as the best of the morning and whilst the South African breezes are not timed, the manner in which she did her work did not go unnoticed by Team Mayfair Speculators who paid the top price of the sale at R1.5 million. Consigned by Soetendal Estate acting as agent for a partnership, which included Kerry Jack who had purchased the filly from Melbourne for AUS$25,000, thus ensuring a healthy profit for her backers. As was the case in Johannesburg, Australian imports dominated the top end of the sale, but it was the striking Normandy Studconsigned son of the late Western Winter, Lot 65 that was snapped up by Kerry Jack Bloodstock for R1.4 million. Bred by Sally Bruss, long serving manager of Lammerskraal Stud, the colt was originally offered at Bloodstock South Africa’s National Yearling sale and sold for R500,000. Balmoral Stud, the specialist pre-training operation of Marc and 16CALL: +44 (0) 1638 66 65 12 S A L E S TA L K Nicola Coppez, were also active in the Australian market this year and offered a good-looking son of Nadeem from a good New Zealand female line. Half-sister, Flawlessly, the Singapore-based daughter of Pins is already a dual winner and this colt looks a Classic horse in the making. Mayfair Speculators took the same view when signing the docket at R1.3 million. Progeny of Sebring, the sire sensation in Australia whose sons have recently dominated big races this season in the form of Criterion and Dissident, are a rare commodity in South Africa and there was plenty of interest in Lot 64, consigned by Klawervlei Stud as agent. A beautifully balanced individual, the colt was bought for R1.2m by Green Street Bloodstock, the brainchild of Justin Vermaak, also racing manager for Maine Chance Farms. Seventh Rock, the sprinting sensation of the mid-2000’s, has thrown a series of top sprinters in South Africa, including Seventh Plain, last season’s Champion Two-Year-Old Colt and ante-post favourite for tomorrow’s Lanzarac Ready To Run Cup worth R2.5m in Stakes. Lot 41 was most impressive in his gallop and with Royal Academy, Danehill and Roberto as his first three damsires, it was not hard to like this colt consigned by Sorrento Stud. He was knocked down to Cape Thoroughbred Sales chairman, Chris van Niekerk, for a round R1 million. Mayfair Speculators found the only High Chaparral offered at the sale attractive and paid R1 million for the granddaughter of VRC Oaks winner Arborea. The well-made filly was consigned by Jane Thomas of Far End Stables, the KZN-based pre-training operation. Late in the session, a dominant looking daughter of New Approach made her way into the ring and whilst the bidding was E B N : S AT U R D AY, 21 S T N O V E M B E R 2015 The Bernardini filly that was sold for R1,500,000 by Soetendal Estate to Mayfair Speculators yesterday.

COO, Adrian Todd, commented: “On the back of a successful Ready To Run Sale in Johannesburg, the Cape Town Sale has also proven to be a very strong sale with quality horses in demand. I believe there was a full spectrum of horses on offer, which exceeded last year’s results. CTS is thrilled to see the continued growth of the sale and we look forward to next year’s Ready To Run Sales Season.” The aggregate was R38,930,000 (up 20% on last year), the average was R229,000 (up 17% on last year) and the median R140,000 (down 7% on last year). The leading vendor was Klawervlei Stud with 31 lots sold for over R9m, the leading buyer was Mayfair Speculators with twelve lots for over R6m and the leading sire was the late Western Winter with eight lots sold for over R4 million. RED CADEAUX PUT DOWN FOLLOWING CUP INJURY Red Cadeaux (Cadeaux Genereux) has been put down after vets reported complications with blood flow to the foot on the left foreleg he injured at the Gr.1 Melbourne Cup. Trainer Ed Dunlop said: “This is my saddest day in racing. Red Cadeaux was a much loved member of our family. He has given us and the racing public so much joy competing with great distinction across the world.” Owner Ronnie Arculli said: “For a race that stops a nation we were lucky to have a horse that touched a nation. We will miss Red Cadeaux dearly.” At the wishes of Mr Arculli, Red Cadeaux’s final resting place will be at Flemington Racecourse. He finished second in the Melbourne Cup three times.

NATIONAL HUNT RACING REVIEW BRITAIN WELSH SHADOW CRUISES TO NEWTON NOVICE VICTORY The main event at Haydock Park yesterday afternoon was the Listed Newton Novices’ Hurdle over two miles. The favourite Welsh Shadow justified his short odds in comfortable style. The son of Robin Des Champs was positioned in midfield of the five-strong field, with Viens Chercher (Milan) taking the field along on an easy lead in atrocious weather conditions. The winner cruised into the lead at the last and only had to be ridden out to score by two and a quarter lengths. There was a tremendous battle for third, with Mardale (Robin Des Champs) getting the better of Altruism (Authorized), with the pair three and threequarter lengths behind the second, Viens Chercher. A winner of his NHF race at Wetherby last season, he was second to last season’s Gr.1 Champion Bumper-fourth Yanworth on hurdling debut at Exeter earlier this month. Bred by Hugh O’Connor, Welsh Shadow is a dual Tattersalls Ireland November Sale graduate, and is a half-brother to the Gr.1 Chase winner Klepht (Great Palm), out of the Persian Mews mare What A Mewsment, a full-sister to the high-class Gr.2 (then) Bowl Chase winner Celestial Gold, as well as being a half-sister to the dual Gr.1 winner Fiveforthree (Arzanni) and the dam of the Gr.2 Navan Novice Hurdle winner No More Heroes.

INDUSTRY NEWS IRELAND EQUINE HERPES VACCINE BACK ON MARKET IN EARLY DECEMBER The pharmaceutical company Zoetis has informed the Irish breeding industry that the equine herpes vaccine (pneumabort-K) will be back on the market in early December. A shortage of vaccine in recent months forced sales companies in Ireland and Britain to take special measures at breeding stock sales to ensure that un-vaccinated broodmares did not pose a disease risk. Des Leadon of the Irish Equine Centre said: “Following representations since September from the ITBF, the EFTBA, national associations, private stud farms and the veterinary profession, Zoetis has stated it will have 9,500 doses available in the first week of December. A similar sized batch will be released in the first week of January and then 25,000 doses will be available through the German market in February.” Plans are being put in place to avoid another shortage in the future. Leadon said: “There is an agreement that there will be an ongoing dialogue between Zoetis and the thoroughbred industry on 20CALL: +44 (0) 1638 66 65 12 I N D U S T R Y N E W S ~ S TA K E S R E S U LT S E B N : S AT U R D AY, 21 S T N O V E M B E R 2015 the availability of the vaccine.

The sale will be followed by a cocktails in the Deauville sales ring. The sale will benefit the association Sauvegarde des Terres d’Elevage which has successfully coordinated the defence of some of Normandy’s most renowned breeding grounds, around the Haras du Pin (Orne region), against the establishment of a toxic waste landfill by Guy Dauphin Environment, a subsidiary of waste giant Ecore. Over the course of the last four years, a series of arduous legal and political battles have taken place. 2015 saw some very important developments unfold, and a positive outcome is expected in 2016, as the French Minister of Environment is now actively involved on the subject. None of this would have been possible without the continued support of generous donators of stallion nominations, as well of course of the buyers of nominations. This whole process underlines the fantastic solidarity that the European racing and breeding industry has shown towards this cause.
