WILL ROGERS DOWNS DAMAGED BY TORNADOBy Eric Mitchell

No people or horses were killed or seriously in-

jured when a tornado ripped through Will Rogers

Downs' barn area the evening of March 30.

“We had two barns that got hit the hardest,” said

Rick Brasher, chief steward at the racetrack in Clare-

more, Okla. “We had one horse that had some cuts

and had to be shipped to the vet clinic. There were

people in the barns and none of them got hurt.”

Brasher said the tornado sheared the roof off half

a barn and did less extensive damage to another.

The track, in the midst of its spring Thoroughbred

meet, has 15 barns and 674 stalls. Brasher said most

horses racing here ship in from area training centers.

A utility company sent an industrial magnet to

the track to sweep the racing surface March 31 and

remove debris. Racing is expected to resume April

4, according to Travis Noland with Cherokee Nation

Entertainment, which owns and operates the track

and a casino there. BH

BARRETTS SEES DECLINES IN AVERAGE, GROSSBy Tracy Gantz

With Barretts' March 30 select 2-year-old sale

now in the books, sales officials say they are

set to build upon their first complete year at the

new Del Mar location.

Sale figures dropped slightly—average down

8.9% to $124,558 and gross 12.9% to $5,356,000

while the buy-back percentage was 32.8%.

However, the top two prices of $460,000 for a

son of The Factor and $450,000 for a daughter of

Smart Strike, beat 2015's top prices of $400,000

and $350,000.

"The higher-end horses did well," said Kim

Lloyd, general manager of Barretts. "Consignors

were a little nervous coming out, and they had a

right to be with a new place and a new timeslot."

Lloyd said he feels the company has established

itself at Del Mar and noted Japanese buyers in par-

the Mulholland Springs consignment at last year's

Keeneland fall sale, and after factoring in sale's

company commission and other costs, she made an

estimated profit of $307,500.

One unsold juvenile that would have returned a

healthy profit for consignor John Brocklebank, agent

for Dickman Legacy Ranch, was a Union Rags colt

bought back on a final bid of $725,000.

Originally purchased for $105,000 by Energy

Solutions and Jennifer Wadleigh as a short yearling at

last year's Keeneland January sale, the colt RNA'd for

$250,000 at Keeneland September sale.

Brocklebank said March 31 that at $725,000 the

colt was close to his reserve and he had received sev-

eral lucrative offers following the sale and expected

to get him sold.

Brocklebank and Dickman Legacy also bought

back an Unbridled's Song colt for $350,000 and a

City Zip colt (bought as a yearling for $165,000) for

$340,000. BH

BARRETTS PROFITABLE FOR TOP PINHOOKERSBy Ron Mitchell

The one-day auction was very good

to some pinhookers, as 36 of the

43 horses sold during the March 30

Barretts select sale of 2-year-olds in

training at Del Mar had previously

gone through a sales ring.

The sale-topper, a The Factor colt

consigned by Ciaran Dunne's Waver-

tree Stables, produced a whopping

695% return on investment, by far the

sale's largest profit percentage.

Purchased at Barretts for $460,000

by Narvick International, as agent, the

colt was bought from the Lane's End

draft at last year's Keeneland Septem-

ber sale by Kate Sheehan for $35,000.

Previously, JSM Equine had secured him as an

$85,000 weanling from the St George Sales' consign-

ment to the 2014 Keeneland November sale.

Wavertree's estimated profit of $382,000 is based

on the consignor's total investment cost: net price

(price less the sales company's commission) plus

upkeep, which in this case is estimated at $18,000

from time of purchase as a yearling to being sold as

a 2-year-old. For a weanling to 2-year-old pinhook,

the ROI factors in estimated upkeep costs of $27,000.

"He was a very nice colt," Dunne said, adding that

while the sale-topper produced a healthy profit for

his client, the objective for all the horses in the con-

signment is to find new homes.

Not surprisingly, the second-highest ROI of 256%

came from the second-highest-priced offering and

top-selling filly. The daughter of Smart Strike, con-

signed by Becky Thomas' Sequel Bloodstock, went to

trainer Bob Baffert on a final bid of $450,000.

An in-depth look at horses targeting Triple Crown races

DERBY WINNERS TYPICALLY CRUISE IN FINAL PREPBy Frank Angst

Past performances by the last 10 Kentucky Derby (gr. I)

winners suggest a close race between Mohaymen and

Nyquist in the April 2 Florida Derby (gr. I) would not hurt their

chances five weeks later in Louisville; however, a big jump in

performance by either—or both—could be a concern.

A look at the final Derby prep races of the past 10 Derby

winners reveals only one of the 10 improved by more than

three points from his career-best Equibase Speed Figure at

that point in his racing career (Animal Kingdom registered

a 11-point ESF jump in his clear 2011 grade III Spiral Stakes

victory).

In general, Derby winners in their final prep races register

ESFs similar to their career-best—a few points above or below

(see table on this page).

In terms of competition, five of the 10 Derby winners reg-

istered clear victories in their final Derby preps, including four

of the past five.

Considering you'd expect a high percentage of Derby

winners to register clear victories in their final preps, the

fact that Derby winners like I'll Have Another edged Creative

Cause by a nose in the Santa Anita Derby (gr. I) before taking

the Derby, and Street Sense lost by a nose in the Blue Grass

Stakes (gr. I) before his Derby victory suggests close races are

not particularly negative.

The table lists the past 10 Derby winners by year and

includes the race, grade, track, and surface of their final Derby

preps. In terms of the result of that prep, the table lists the finish

and lengths ahead or behind, the way the performance com-

pared to the horse's previous career-best ESF, and the number

of weeks (give or take a day if the prep was conducted on a

Sunday) the prep race was conducted before the Derby. BH

STELLAR FIELD TAKING SHAPE FOR ASHLANDBy Sarah Troxell

Unbeaten filly Cathryn Sophia is set to head a small

but strong field of 3-year-old filles in the Ashland (gr.

I) April 9, on the opening weekend at Keeneland.

Keeneland racing secretary Ben Huffman

spoke about recruiting efforts: "The connec-

tions of Cathryn Sophia called several weeks

ago and said they were pointing for the race.

Her connections nominated on their own,

and the real recruiting is going on now."

He added it's challenging to find connec-

tions willing to take on the John Servis trained

Street Boss filly, who was originally slated for

the April 2 Gulfstream Park Oaks (gr. II).

"We liked the purse structure better at

Keeneland," said Chuck Zacney of Cash is

King Stable, the filly's owner. The $500,000

Ashland purse doubles that of Gulfstream's

Oaks.

Other expected entrants are Rachel's

Valentina, who hasn’t raced since her sec-

ond-place finish in the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile

DEEP IMPACT COLTS HEADLINE CHIBA SALEBy Naohiro Goda

Two colts by outstanding stallion Deep Impact

head a consignment of 38 from Teruya Yoshi-

da's Shadai Farm at the upcoming Chiba Thor-

oughbred sale of 2-year-olds May 16 at the parade

ring of Funabashi Racecourse in Japan.

The first, Hip 22, is the fourth foal out of the

Theatrical mare Mrs. Lindsay, winner of the Prix

Vermeille (Fr-I) and the E.P. Taylor (Can-IT). The

colt is a half brother to Mr. Owen (Invincible Spirit),

who finished third in the Poule d'Essai des Pou-

lains (French 2,000 Guineas, Fr-I).

The other Deep Impact colt is Hip 40, the sec-

ond foal of Cozi Rosie (Pleasantly Perfect), a winner

of three graded stakes in the U.S.

Deep Impact (Sunday Silence) has sired 81

stakes winners and his international reputation

was furthered March 26 when Real Steel won the

Dubai Turf (UAE-I) on World Cup day.

Shadai's consignment also includes a Workforce

colt out of Dance Partner, the high-class Japanese

filly whose victories include the Yushun Himba

(Japanese Oaks) and Queen Elizabeth II Commem-

orative Cup (both Jpn-I).

The colt is a half brother to multiple Japanese

graded stakes winner Federalist (Empire Maker). BH

MARKETWATCH INTERVIEW: TIM BOYCEBy Alastair Bull

This week's interview is with Tim Boyce,

sales director of the Texas 2-year-olds in

training and horses of racing age sale, held

by the Texas Thoroughbred Association at

Lone Star Park April 4.

MarketWatch: Texas racing has been

going through some challenging times. How

does the state of Texas racing impact the

sale?

Tim Boyce: The uncertainties hurt mar-

ketplaces more than realities. Now, I think

there's somewhat of a stability—albeit some-

what bleak—but everybody knows there's

going to be racing and what the level of

that racing is. That is better than having an

unknown. Given there is ownership of race-

tracks that seems 100% committed to keep-

ing a first-class facility, that stability is going

to help in the long run.

In addition, everyone who comes here

knows that a horse in this sale will be eligi-

ble for a $100,000 race this year (the Texas

Thoroughbred Futurity). That's a little more

guarantee for the buyer, and horses from

here can go almost anywhere.

MW: If racing continues to have difficulties

in Texas, can this sale still carve out a good

place in the market regionally?

TB: It hasn't been a problem too much

for this sale in the past because it's more

of a Southwest sale. We would sell Louisi-

ana-breds and Oklahoma-breds well, and Ar-

kansas-breds are now bringing a lot of mon-

ey. This is a centrally located marketplace,

and we have one of the best sales facilities in

the Southwest.

MW: How would you describe the strength

of the catalog?

TB: Obviously with the size (down from

123 to 85), the critical mass is weakened, but

I think I have as much top quality as I have

had in the past. Here on the grounds they

know I have as many top horses as last year

and the year before. My consignors have

brought a lot of good horses over the years—

horses that have gone on to make mil-

lions—and the same consignors come back,

like Inside Move, the Asmussens, Twin Oaks

Training, Benchmark. They bring good hors-

es every year. I'm very pleased and flattered

that they do that, and, hopefully, they'll get

rewarded on Monday.

MW: What are your expectations for the

sale?

TB: I think we'll be around the same as

last year ($75,000) for the sale-topper, maybe

even a little stronger actually. There's a cou-

ple here on the grounds every bit as pretty,

maybe even better looking than last year's

sale-topper. We just don't have as many to

sell. The demand won't change that much, I

don't think the demand's going to go down,

and our supply is down. It's just supply and

demand. BH

ht STEVE HASKIN’S DERBY DOZEN

s p o n s o r e d b y

1 MOHAYMEN

Trainer/owner: Kiaran McLaughlin/Shadwell Stable

Pedigree: Tapit—Justwhistledixie, by Dixie Union

Breeder: Clearsky Farms (KY)

Worked a half in a solid :484⁄5 March 24 for his big show-

down in the Xpressbet.com Florida Derby (gr. I). It was pretty

much all McLaughlin was looking for. He has all the advan-

tages, having won twice over the track, and it didn’t appear

as if he came close to running a peak performance in either

race, so he should continue to move forward.

2 NYQUIST

Doug O’Neill/Reddam Racing

Uncle Mo—Seeking Gabrielle, by Forestry

Summerhill Farm (KY)

O’Neill certainly wasn’t looking for any speed in his March 25

five-furlong breeze in 1:03. Coming off only one seven-furlong

race this year, there are only two ways Nyquist should be able

to beat Mohaymen at this time and place—he gets a big jump

on him or he simply is a faster, gamer, and classier horse.

3 DESTIN

Todd Pletcher/Twin Creeks Racing Stables

Giant’s Causeway—Dream of Summer, by Siberian Summer

James C. Weigel & Taylor Made Stallions (KY)

I thought he might work this weekend, as he worked exactly

two weeks after his Sam F. Davis Stakes (gr. III) score. But

owner Randy Gullatt said all is good with him and explained

that with four races at a mile or longer in the past four

months—at three different racetracks—they’re trying to freshen

him up for a busy May.

4 MOR SPIRIT

Bob Baffert/Michael Lund Petersen

Eskendereya—Im a Dixie Girl, by Dixie Union

Elkstone Group (PA)

It was good to see him turn in a half-mile work in a sharp :474⁄5

that was listed as breezing, which is rare at Santa Anita. It was

the second-fastest of 29 works at the distance March 24. There

is little doubt that, like Mohaymen, we have yet to see the best

of this horse; Baffert has left a lot in the tank.

5 CUPID

Bob Baffert/Michael Tabor, Susan Magnier, Derrick Smith

Tapit—Pretty ’n Smart, by Beau Genius

JKG Thoroughbreds (KY)

I believe there is still a great deal of untapped talent here, and

his front-running victory in the Rebel Stakes (gr. II) was simply

a case of being the best horse in the race and utilizing his

inside post in the best way possible. I wouldn’t want him to re-

peat those tactics in the Arkansas Derby (gr. I) and especially

at Churchill Downs.

6 GUN RUNNER

Steve Asmussen/Winchell Thoroughbreds and Three Chimneys Farm

Candy Ride—Quiet Giant, by Giant’s Causeway

Besilu Stables (KY)

He has all the tools and is improving with every race, and if

he can handle the six-week gap to the Run for the Roses and

get rid of some of his greenness, he is going to be a major

factor on Derby Day. I moved him just behind Cupid only be-

cause I feel Cupid beat a slightly better field in the Rebel.

7 DANZING CANDY

Clifford Sise Jr./Halo Farms and Jim and Diane Bashor

Twirling Candy—Talkin and Singing, by Songandaprayer

Halo Farms (KY)

You never want to see a trainer unhappy over a work, whether

too fast or too slow, and after he sizzled five furlongs in :583⁄5

March 26, Sise stated flat-out he did not want him to go that

fast, looking for 1:00 and change. It not only was the fastest of

54 works at the distance, the average time was 1:012⁄5.

8 SUDDENBREAKINGNEWS

Donnie Von Hemel/Samuel F. Henderson

Mineshaft—Uchitel, by Afleet Alex

Branch Equine (KY)

Boy is it close among him, Whitmore, Creator, and Cherry

Wine. I see all of them as legitimate Derby contenders. With

what he had to overcome in the Rebel, and conceding five to

seven pounds to those in front of him, and based on his em-

phatic score in the Southwest Stakes (gr. III), he is still a major

contender.

9 MO TOM

Tom Amoss/G M B Racing

Uncle Mo—Caroni, by Rubiano

Hargus and Sandra Sexton and Silver Fern Farm (KY)

What can you say about this poor horse, who has had noth-

ing but rotten luck and ill-advised rides in his last two starts,

in which he basically gave away all-important points. Glad to

see jockey Corey Lanerie at least own up to his costly ride.

10 WHITMORE

Ron Moquett/Harry Rosenblum, Robert LaPenta, and

Southern Springs Stables

Pleasantly Perfect—Melody’s Spirit, by Scat Daddy

John Liviakis (KY)

So, is this a mile-and-a-quarter horse who simply has been the

victim of circumstance in his two second-place finishes this year,

both of which he appeared to have won, but wound up losing?

That’s what you have to figure out. His sire shouts distance, but

his female family is pretty much a mile to 11⁄8-mile pedigree.

11 SHAGAF

Chad Brown/Shadwell Stable

Bernardini—Muhaawara, by Unbridled’s Song

Shadwell Farm (KY)

I still can’t separate him from the other two Chad Brown

3-year-olds, My Man Sam and Flexibility, but I’m going to

ignore his slow times, slow speed figs, slow closing fractions,

and lack of racing experience and project big improvement

when the distances stretch out. And he is undefeated.

12 EXAGGERATOR

Keith Desormeaux/Big Chief Racing, Head of Plains Partners,

Rocker O Ranch, et al.

Curlin—Dawn Raid, by Vindication

Joseph B. Murphy (KY)

Just when I was tempted to drop him from the Top 12, he

turned in the kind of work that made me wait and give him

one more chance in the Santa Anita Derby (gr. I). His big

problem has been finishing off his races, and I love that he

came home his final eighth in :114⁄5 in his five-furlong work

March 26 in a sharp 1:002⁄5.
