FEBRUARY SALES CIRCUITMOVES TO DEAUVILLE

Just shy of 500 horses have been catalogued as Arqana's

season starts on Tuesday with its two-day February Sale in

Deauville.

The 3-year-old Learning To Fly (Ire) (Oasis Dream {GB}) led last

year's mixed auction when sold for i300,000 by Teo Ah Khing

and Mayfair Speculators, but this time around it may well be

breeding prospects who steal the limelight. The sale features the

conclusion of a dispersal of the stock of Issam Fares, which

began last December, as well as the dispersal from the estate of

the late Marquise de Moratalla, owner-breeder of French Classic

winner Tin Horse (Ire) (Sakhee).

The latter is being handled by Alban Chevalier du Fau's

Channel Consignment, which will send 12 fillies and mares

through the ring, including Graciously (GB) (Shamardal), a

half-sister to G1 Falmouth S. winner Giofra (Fr) (Dansili {GB})

who is being sold as lot 119 in foal to Invincible Spirit (Ire). Also

among the draft is Red Whisper (Fr) (Redoute's Choice {Aus}), a

dual winner at three from the family of Tin Horse (lot 29), and

the G3 Prix Chloe winner Wilside (Ire) (Verglas {Ire}), now 13

and the dam of stakes winner Sarigan (Fr) (Teofilo {Ire}). She is

being sold with a late May cover to Wootton Bassett (GB) as

lot 122.

RACING TO RESUME ON WEDNESDAY After a six-day shutdown sparked by six equine influenzapositives last week, British racing will resume on Wednesday in aArisk -managed manner.@ The initial six cases were all from the yard of National Hunttrainer Donald McCain, while on Sunday night four positiveswere confirmed from the yard of Newmarket trainer SimonCrisford.

February Sales Circuit Moves To Deauville Cont. from p1

Among five mares to be offered in foal to Le Havre (Ire) is the

Group 3-placed Mark Of An Angel (Ire) (Mark Of Esteem {Ire}),

the dam of GIII Santa Barbara S. and G3 Park Express S. winner

Queen Blossom (Jeremy). From the Fairway Consignment draft,

she will sell on Wednesday as lot 368.

A late call-up to the sale is the 3-year-old Forestiere (Fr)

(Rajsaman {Fr}), a half-sister to La Sardane (Fr) (Kingsalsa),

whose race record stretches to wins at group and graded level in

France and America. She is slated as a wild card in the draft of

the Garcon family's Haras de la Hotellerie as lot 125.

The Channel Consignment will sell the only other wild card (lot

65), the 3-year-old filly Karma Seeker (Ire), by Oasis Dream (GB)

out of a listed-winning half-sister to the Champion Hurdler

Katchit (GB) (Kalanisi {Ire}). Trained by Henri-Francois Devin,

Karma Seeker won at Pornichet over 1700 metres on Jan. 23.

The sale was extended to two days last year from a single

session in 2017. Turnover thus advanced by 37% to i2,797,800

for the 281 horses who changed hands at an average price of

i9,957. Trade begins each day at 10 a.m. local time.

He added, AAfter analysis of thousands of samples, and no

further positive tests on Monday, we still only have two

confirmed sites of infection. We have put robust containment

measures in place around both. From the testing and analysis

conducted the disease appears to be contained at present. The

BHA veterinary committee believe that the swift controls on

movement that were put in place have clearly helped to restrict

the spread of this virus.@ Cont. p3

Tuesday's withdrawals: 1, 2, 4, 6, 7, 10, 13, 16, 23, 25, 31, 32,37, 39, 42, 47, 48, 53, 54, 58, 59, 60, 62, 121, 126, 150, 157,158, 174, 184, 186, 189, 190, 198, 199, 200, 205, 207, 220, 231,233, 248.

Racing to Resume on Wednesday Cont.

AThere have been significant logistical issues associated with

testing and processing so many tests in such a short space of

time,@ he said. AFortunately, owing to the tireless efforts of the

Animal Health Trust, trainers and their local vets, and BHA staff,

the vast majority of yards which had been placed on hold will be

in a position to resume racing.

AClearly, there is some risk associated with returning to racing.

This risk has been assessed and, based on the evidence--and

ensuring biosecurity measures are in place--the level of risk is

viewed as acceptable.@

Jumps fixtures at Musselburgh and Plumpton and all-weather

fixtures at Southwell and Kempton will go ahead on Wednesday.

The BHA=s statement Monday evening revealed that individual

trainers= yards will be categorized according to the level of risk

they have been exposed to, and the ability of runners to return

to racing from those yards will depend on the risk categories the

yards are placed in. The statement read, AWe are finalising

overnight which category individual trainers will currently be

placed in. The BHA will contact trainers tomorrow morning to

inform them of their category and eligibility to run.@

Trainers with runners for Wednesday are advised to declare at

10 a.m., after which the BHA will review all declarations to

ensure none have been declared that do not meet the risk

criteria. Declarations for Thursday=s flat all-weather meetings

will now be at the 24 hour stage.

No entries or declarations will be accepted from horses that

have not been vaccinated in the previous six months. Trainers

will be required to provide a health declaration upon arrival at a

racecourse.

Racing to Resume on Wednesday Cont. The BHA=s Director of Equine Health and Welfare, David Sykes,said, AThe BHA and the veterinary committee agree that, onbalance, the level of risk is acceptable for a return to racing. AWe have developed a risk model, which the veterinarycommittee support, in order to assist the return to racing. Wewill observe closely those horses who are taken to theracecourse and will intervene as a precaution to prevent a horserunning or accessing a racecourse if we believe it might putother horses at risk of infection. The veterinary committee areof the view that an unprecedented amount of this disease hasbeen identified in Europe. This is not a typical endemic periodand it was essential that precautions be taken to protect thehorse population.@ British-trained horses were also cleared on Monday afternoonto run in Ireland. The Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board shutthe borders to British horses when the situation began tounravel last week, but Dr. Lynn Hillyer, chief veterinary officer atthe IHRB, confirmed on Monday the ban had been lifted. "They are fine [to run in Ireland], provided they can fill therequirements that we set out in our release on Friday night,which said that horses need to have received a vaccine forequine influenza which contains Clade 1 virus within eight weeksof their race,@ she said. "As long as they can fulfil thatrequirement, they are fine. Obviously, by definition, they will

only be coming from yards which aren't under restriction fromthe BHA. "Having had the opportunity to consider things over theweekend, the board have made the decision that we are able tosupport that movement--which is obviously good news foreverybody. The critical thing is they have to have had the correctvaccination within the eight weeks preceding the run."

STAR WITNESS IN VOGUE AT INGLIS

by Paul Vettise

Widden Stud stallion Star Witness has won over buyers at the

top end of the market at the Inglis Classic Yearling Sale with a

pair of quality youngsters topping days two and three at the

Riverside Stables.

Inglis Classic Day 3: at a Glance$ Star Witness is enjoying a strong sale and for the second

day running he tops the session with a A$350,000 filly

to Orbis Bloodstock.

$ A son of Kermadec (NZ) gets serious attention from

Triple Crown Bloodstock and they secured him for

A$280,000.

$ George Moore is a member of the Dissident fan club

and he parted with A$280,000 on spec for a colt by the

multiple Group 1 winner.

$ At the end of Day 3, Orbis Bloodstock is the leading

buyer at the sale, having purchased 11 individual lots

for A$1,590,000.

$ The overall sale clearance is 82% with an average of

A$77,909 and one day of Book 1 remaining. The

average is down compared to end of sale last year

(A$93,231) but up on the 2017 sale (A$71,342).

Star Witness in Vogue A speed machine with a G1 Coolmore Stud S. to his credit, Star

Witness=s son offered by Noogee Park was sold for A$400,000

on Sunday to Yulong and on Monday the Hong Kong-based Orbis

Bloodstock went to A$350,000 for the Newhaven Park-offered

filly. Lot 475 is out of Madam Nash (Flying Spur), who won on

eight occasions and she is a granddaughter of Tidal Light (NZ)

(Diagramatic {USA}), a Group 1 winner on both sides of the

Tasman and a New Zealand Horse of the Year.

Trainer Kim Waugh has been associated with Orbis for the last

12 months and she signed for the good-looking filly.

AShe=s beautiful, very athletic and correct. I was very

impressed by her,@ she said. AI kept going back to look at her,

four or five times, and I liked her more every time. I thought she

would be expensive. She had a lot of looks and I thought she

would be around that mark. I=ve had a couple by Star Witness

and I really like them. He=s proven himself with a lot of winners

and a couple of very good horses.@

Orbis is managed by former jockey Paul King with Waugh and

Kris Lees their principal trainers in Australia.

AIt=s working really well and at this stage I=ve mainly got all

young horses,@ Waugh said.

In the Zone Military Zone (Epaulette) did his younger half-brother a major

favour when he opened his stakes account with victory in the

recent Listed Gosford Guineas and that was reflected in the ring.

PEDIGREE INSIGHTS: FINAL CROP OF ARCH

IS ON THE MARCH

by Andrew Caulfield

The UAE 2000 Guineas, to my mind, has always been one of

the most confusing races staged during the Dubai Racing

Carnival. While this Group 3 contest is confined to 3-year-olds, it

is open to horses from both Northern and Southern

Hemispheres, with the conditions requiring that the older

3-year-olds from the Southern Hemisphere carry an extra 4.5kg

to offset their age advantage.

Despite this penalty, the Southern Hemisphere horses often

triumphed in the past and several of them were to add to their

laurels. One of them, the South African-born Victory Moon, later

finished third behind Pleasantly Perfect and Medaglia d=Oro in

the 2004 G1 Dubai World Cup, while the Argentine-bred Asiatic

Boy was to chase home Curlin in the 2008 World Cup and finish

second in the GI Stephen Foster H. Then there was the South

African-bred Soft Falling Rain, who traveled to England to take

the G2 Joel S.

Another complication is that the race often features horses

switching from turf to dirt, but that hasn=t stopped Northern

Hemisphere-bred colts winning the last five editions. The latest

to do so was Estihdaaf, an American-bred son of Arch who has

shown distinct progress on the Meydan dirt, having won only

one of his four starts on turf. Cont. p3

WES CHAMPAGNE: FARRIER TO THE STARSby Dan Ross

No foot, no horse--an adage that's as true now as when the

world's first plough-horse was sidelined with a stone bruise. And

while that same adage could be repurposed for almost any part

of the horse's anatomy, it's the foot that bears the load. The

hero's yoke.

Of all the farriers around the nation's backstretches toiling

away on those four surprisingly delicate parts of the racehorse,

few have been as highly sought-after for as long as Wes

Champagne.

Nearly 40 years ago, Champagne was an exercise rider who,

too big to follow in the boots of his jockey father, went to

blacksmith school near Sacramento. Forty years later, he boasts

a client list that started early on with Laz Barrera and never

dipped in quality thereafter. Trainers like Charlie Whittingham,

Bobby Frankel, Neil Drysdale, Richard Mandella, Bob Baffert,

John Sadler. Horses like Tiffany Lass, Mister Frisky, Malek,

Labeeb, Fusaichi Pegasus, Megahertz, Medaglia d'Oro, Game on

Dude. Cont. p5

Tax (inside) | Sarah Andrew

Final Crop of Arch is on the March(cont. from p1)

The colt=s pedigree--and his 5 1/2-length

winning margin last Thursday--suggest that he

could well go on to better things. There=s also the

fact that his trainer Saeed Bin Suroor also took

the 2017 contest with Thunder Snow. While this son of Helmet

inexplicably disgraced himself with his bronco display in the

GI Kentucky Derby, he has since confirmed his status as a highly

talented dirt performer with his victory over West Coast in the

2018 Dubai World Cup and his third behind Accelerate in the GI

Breeders= Cup Classic.

Estihdaaf still has some way to go before he merits comparison

with Thunder Snow, who was already a Group 1 winner on turf

before he landed the UAE 2000 Guineas. However, his pedigree

is strong enough to encourage the belief that he will prove

better than just a Group 3 winner.

Together with Tax, winner of the GIII Withers S. earlier this

month, Estihdaaf is a member of the final crop sired by

Claiborne=s popular stallion Arch.

There was a time, early in Arch=s career, when it looked as

though he was going to become another disappointing stallion

son of Kris S. Fortunately, he turned his career around to the

extent that he has left a legacy of 40 graded/group winners,

including 11 winners at the highest level. It has to be mentioned

that he did so without covering mammoth books of mares, and

his 17 crops averaged 66 foals. Cont. p4

Kentucky Wildcat | Sarah Andrew

Arch raced exclusively on dirt during his seven-race career,

with his finest victory coming in the GI Super Derby.

However, with Roberto and Danzig as his grandsires, he was

sure to sire some notable turf performers and he enjoyed

success in Europe, where his seven group winners were headed

by Les Arcs (G1 July Cup and G1 Golden Jubilee), Nyaleti

(G2 German 1000 Guineas), Pomology (G2 Lancashire Oaks) and

Montgomery's Arch (G2 Richmond S.).

There were also some very talented turf performers by Arch in

North America, including the Grade I winners Arravale, Grand

Arch and Prince Arch. He will always be best remembered,

though, as the sire of the Breeders= Cup Classic winner Blame,

whose stallion career is mirroring Arch=s in that he has restored

breeders= faith in him after a quiet spell.

There was always a good chance that dirt would prove to be

Estihdaaf=s metier. His dam, the American-raced Enrichment, is

by Ghostzapper, who raced exclusively on dirt during a career

which featured Grade I victories in the Vosburgh S., Woodward

S., Breeders= Cup Classic and the Metropolitan H.

Ghostzapper, like his admirable half-brother City Zip, has

proved more versatile when it comes to his progeny=s favored

surface. Several of his American graded winners have enjoyed

success on turf, one of them being Better Lucky, a sister to

Estihdaaf=s dam Enrichment.

Better Lucky did so well that her name figures alongside the

champion turf mares Flawlessly, Wandesta, Ryafan and

Intercontinental on the GI Matriarch S.=s roll of honor. She

landed the 2012 edition by a length and raced for another two

years, holding her form well enough to add the GI First Lady S.

as a 4-year-old. She also failed by only a head to wear down

Judy the Beauty in the GI Breeders= Cup Filly & Mare Sprint on

her final appearance. Cont. p5

Better Lucky has three young colts by Tapit, the first of whom--

Kentucky Wildcat--was runner-up to Well Defined in the

GIII Sam F. Davis S. last week.

Better Lucky and Enrichment are granddaughters of Desert

Stormer, a GI Breeders= Cup Sprint winner who once sold for

$3.6 million. Desert Stormer was less effective as a broodmare,

her best effort being Estihdaaf=s second dam Sahara Gold,

winner of the GII Beaumont S. over seven furlongs. There is

clearly plenty of speed in this family, but Estihdaaf appeared to

stay well enough when he tried 1 3/16 miles on his first

appearance on dirt.

Estihdaaf is the latest indication that Ghostzapper is going to

develop into an important sire of broodmares. Although his

eldest daughters have just turned 12 years old, Ghostzapper

already ranks as the broodmare sire of three Grade I winners,

including a Triple Crown winner in Justify and a Breeders= Cup

Sprint winner in Drefong. The third Grade I winner, American

Gal, was also pretty good, winning both the GI Test S. and the

GI Humana Distaff H. Altogether there are eight graded winners

out of Ghostzapper mares, each of them by a different stallion,

so they are going to have a lot of options.

Wes Champagne: Farrier to the Stars(cont. from p1)

Four years ago, Champagne was the man responsible for

American Pharoah (Pioneerof the Nile)'s Triple Crown-winning

dancing shoes. Champagne repeated the dose this year, putting

the aluminum glint to Justify (Scat Daddy)'s comet-like career.

His most recent high-profile client? A little horse by the name of

Accelerate (Lookin At Lucky), who didn't do too shabby for

himself last year.

The following are some of the topics Champagne touched on

in a wide-ranging conversation with the TDN, from the evolution

of shoeing during the nearly four decades he's been doing it, to

some of the more innovative shoeing techniques he's helped

pioneer, and the ever-changing understanding of racehorse

soundness.

Wes Champagne | Horsephotos

Tempering "If you had to ask me what the main difference betweenfarriers of the past and today is, I would say we've becomeinstallers of pre-manufactured shoes versus hand-madehorseshoes," Champagne said, pointing to the rise of thepre-manufactured shoe, designed, like human shoes, fordifferent-shaped, different-sized horses. Not that he'scomplaining. "You can't beat the manufactured shoe. They're not off oneone-hundredths of an inch. I can pull a shoe off, go right back inthe same nail holes the next month if I need to. There's no wayyou can duplicate that."

At the same time, these shoes have become heavier, sturdierover the years. More rigid. "They used to be much thinner,where you could just literally bend it in your hands. Now youcan't budge it," he said. This has introduced some challenges,however. "You want that foot to be pliable," he said, working an actualhoof like a hunk of stiff rubber to illustrate his point. "Out of thefactory, it=s just too rigid--it locks the foot up too much." And so,Champagne takes the hardness--the "temper"--out of thealuminum shoe in the forge. "By heating them in the fire andthen cooling them really quick, you can make them soft, so youcan bend them in your hands." It's still not a perfect system. Along the widest portion of thefoot, the shoe should be "relatively stable and solid," he said,while the shoe around the heel should be more flexible. "Noone's developed a shoe right now that's like that." Nevertheless, Champagne believes that by removing thestiffness from the modern shoe this way, he's seeing importantbenefits. Yes, "sprung" shoes--where a shoe snags and bendsout of shape--are more common once the aluminum has had its"temper" removed. "But if I left the shoe solid, that might havebeen an injury instead."

Wes Champagne at work | Horsephotos

As shoes became heavier, more rigid, Champagne noticed an

increase in suspensory injuries. He believes this has something

to do with the role that suspensory tendons play--that of a shock

absorber in the lower leg. So, the more rigid the shoe is, the

more it impacts the natural movement of the foot. And the

more it impacts the natural movement of the foot, the more it

alters the working mechanics of the suspensory tendons.

The evidence, Champagne said, supports his thinking. Since

softening his shoes this way, he's noticed a "75%" reduction in

suspensory injuries.

"I used to get them all the time," he said. "Upper suspensory,

lower suspensory. Now, I don't hear of it, or only very rarely.

There really is something to the pliability of the shoe."

Length, Toe, Heel Compared to a few decades ago, racehorse feet are getting

bigger, Champagne said. "In the '80s, for instance, most horses

had size five and sixes. Real small feet. Today, most everything's

a size seven and a lot of eights. Feet have gotten a lot bigger."

Whereas before, farriers largely considered small feet a

necessary foundation to soundness, that thinking no longer

holds sway, he said. At least, in general.

On the East Coast, where "the tracks are a lot more forgiving,"

farriers tend to trim the feet smaller, he said. But on the harder

West Coast tracks, "if you start cutting the feet too short, they

can't handle it," he said. "The main thing is just making sure

they're balanced and they have that support."

Is there a basic formula that governs the balance of the foot?

The shoe should be centered in the very middle of the foot, "and

you can gauge that by the frog," Champagne said. "The frog will

never lie to you--it'll sit over the very center of the coffin bone."

This is where the heel comes into play.

In the past, Champagne said, farriers tended to fit shoes "very

tight" and "wrap" them around the heel, which is where the

greatest force on the foot during each stride is exerted.

Whereas now, "we've learned what is most important is to get

the shoe back under the foot, and the heel of the shoe back

under the widest point of the frog."

As a result, "we get much less tendons than we used to get,"

he added. "They're rare now. I think that's one of the things that

has helped the horse more than anything."

High Speed Pain Likewise, conventional wisdom has been to over-trim the toe,

Champagne said. By doing that, however, "you start shifting the

weight to the front of the limb. The pressure just doesn't go

away--you're basically moving it from one area to another.

Everything has to work in harmony."

It's a practice that raises eyebrows, especially among trainers.

But in most cases where the toe looks long, it rarely is--it's that

the heel is too short, Champagne said.

"The first thing a trainer will tell you when they see a horse

like that, 'you've got to get the toe off.' They think you can just

shape it anyway you want, like a block of wood. You can't.

There's a lot of components inside the hoof and you have to

take that into consideration. The hoof capsule is like a shell

similar in thickness to a coconut. It's only so thick."

Which leads to an interesting concept of Champagne's--what

he coins "high speed pain," the notion that horses only feel

certain types of pain when they're extended at full race-pace.

"Dr. Allday [the world-renowned equine veterinarian] once

told me, if a horse runs the first part of a race and he stops in

the stretch, it's always one of three things: It's either they've lost

their air, their hocks are hurting, or their feet are hurting. If their

ankles, knees or anything else is hurting, they won't even run

the first part of the race."

The long-held consensus behind the short-trimmed toe is that

it promotes soundness. But that concept is fundamentally

flawed, said Champagne. That's because, "if a horse gets a little

sore it doesn't want to run that fast again. It starts to protect

itself," he said.

"Say your horse is shooting 12 [seconds a furlong] and he's

sound. Then he's going 11 [seconds a furlong] and he starts

feeling that pain. Horses, they're smart," Champagne added.

"He'll never run an 11 again. He'll run in 12 because he knows if

he goes that speed he won't hurt.@

Glue-On Shoes Champagne is the pioneer of glue-on shoes, now a staple of

the backstretch. "Yeah, I started the whole thing," he said. An

early high-profile poster child of his was Fusaichi Pegasus--the

first horse to win the Kentucky Derby with glue-on shoes.

The idea sprung in the early 1990s from a horse of trainer

Vladimir Cerin's, who had lost "half her foot." And so, unable to

nail the shoe on using traditional methods, the light-bulb pinged

when he saw "someone playing around with a glue" which, at

the time, was used in robotics and the auto and aircraft

industries.

"I put a few nails in the foot and then filled that all in with glue,

and when I came back the next month to try to get it off, I

couldn't. So, I literally went down and bought a hacksaw and I

cut between [the hoof and the shoe] to get it off, and right there

I knew I had it because I didn't even need nails." he said. "I

started playing with it and then figured out part of the holding

power was is in the heels."

There were any number of bugs to work out--how glue, for

example, hated iodine, which was used more prevalently back

then to harden the sole and toughen and disinfect the frog.

However, "after the glue-on shoes everything took off. People

started trying to be innovative with plastics, rubber shoes,

glue-on plastic shoes. It just started a whole craze."

The way Champagne uses glue-on shoes hasn't changed much

over the years, though new plastics have since been developed

with which "we can virtually build a whole new foot."

Nevertheless, he's in two minds as to their long-term impact on

the sport, and the breed itself.

On the one hand, horses that "would never make it, made it"

and are subsequently funneled into the breeding shed, "so it's

kind of backfiring on us in that respect." And yet, when he fixes

an unsound horse, "there's a real satisfaction there. I think it's

helped a lot of pain and suffering--horses that were being

pinched on a daily basis due to thin hoof walls."

Blacksmith Buddy Another of Champagne's innovations is the Blacksmith Buddy,

an anatomically correct prosthetic leg with a detachable and

recyclable hoof, for use by trainee farriers. As explained on his

website, "while live horses can only be worked on once every six

to eight weeks, the Blacksmith Buddy can be put to use anytime,

anywhere."

The contraption--remarkably lifelike, aesthetically too--took

about a year-and-a-half to develop, and required the input from

a variety of experts. An engineer who works at Harvard. A BMW

body design expert. A prosthetist who works with the Navy.

Special effects experts from the movie industry. "It was a lot of

work."

Almost every veterinary hospital in the world, except Cornell,

uses the limb, Champagne added. "I have them in China. I have

them in Australia. I have one in St. Kitts Islands." They've been

especially well-received, he said, at blacksmith schools--just ask

the director of the Pacific Coast Horseshoeing School (the

current iteration of Champagne's Alma Mater).

"He told me the difference is phenomenal for him because,

when he takes his students to the horse for the first time, they

already know how to use their tools--they're not fumbling with

their rasps," Champagne said. "They already know how to use

their tools and work around the horse."

TIM CONE, FASIG-TIPTON LEGAL COUNSEL

AND PAST PRESIDENT, DIES AT 75by T.D. Thornton

Carl Timothy ATim@ Cone, the longtime legal counsel and a

former president of Fasig-Tipton Co. from 1988 to 1991, died

Feb. 8 at his home in Lexington. He was 75 and had been

diagnosed with cancer two years ago.

AHe was a one of those rare people who was blessed with

extreme intelligence and also an extreme amount of common

sense,@ Fasig-Tipton president and chief executive Boyd

Browning, Jr. told TDN via phone Monday. AThat=s a little bit of

an unusual combination. He was a person who was a facilitator

in getting people together. He favored resolution rather than

contention, and was a very, very wise man.

ATim was an impeccably fair and honest person who just tried

to do the right things and live the right way,@ Browning

continued. AThat=s a very simple way of putting it, but I think

that would summarize both his professional and personal

approach.@

Tim Cone | Gess, Mattingly, Saunier & Atchison

Terence Collier, Fasig-Tipton=s director of marketing, said he

worked closely with Cone over the course of several decades,

most notably in sales dispute resolution. That sector of the

bloodstock business requires a deft personal touch in addition to

well-honed legal skills, and Collier said Cone was one of the best

in the industry in that respect.

AHis most endearing quality to me was his total integrity,@

Collier told TDN. AThere was never any fudging room in any

decision that Tim took as the president of Fasig-Tipton and as a

lawyer. It was always what was legally correct and what was

morally right. Those were the things that ran his life.

AI think probably the thing that people misunderstood about

Tim was that he was of a serious demeanor, and one might

confuse that by saying he had no sense of humor and that he

was somewhat dry,@ Collier explained. AThat was far from the

case. He had a very, very unique sense of humor and he used it

frequently, and that would have been a surprise to most people

who knew him.@

According to an obituary first published Sunday in the

Lexington Herald-Leader, Cone was born in Baton Rouge,

Louisiana, in 1944. His family moved to Lexington when his

father, a history professor, accepted a job at the University of

Kentucky in 1947.

Cone later graduated from the University of Kentucky and the

University of Kentucky College of Law, beginning practice in

1968. As an attorney and later as a managing partner, he

practiced law with several local firms before beginning his work

with Fasig-Tipton. Cone also served as Commissioner of Law for

the Urban County Government, and at the time of his death, he

was chairman of Dupree Mutual Funds and a director of

Lexington Industrial Foundation.

Cone was active in the Lexington community and served on

the boards of Saint Joseph Hospital Foundation, Lexington Urban

League, Lex Tran, Fayette Tourism Commission, and Legal Aid

Corporation. He was a three-time president of the Northside

Neighborhood Association and was a trustee and treasurer of

Sayre School.

Cone participated in Republican politics and was a

Commissioner of the Fayette County Board of Elections, Chair of

the Fayette County Republican Executive Committee, and

served as chairman of numerous local political campaigns,

according to the Herald-Leader.

Beyond the community and his immersion in the

Thoroughbred world, Cone was an enthusiastic history buff and

a passionate fan of the University of Kentucky Wildcats sports

teams.

Cone is survived by wife, Marcia; a daughter, Regan (Hill)

Parker; a son, Travis (Calle) Cone; and granddaughters Caroline

and Mary Elizabeth Parker.

Private graveside services will be held Feb. 13 at Calvary

Cemetery.

A public memorial service and reception will be held at

Fasig-Tipton, 2400 Newtown Pike, Feb. 16 from 4:00 p.m. to

6:00 p.m.

Cone, according to the Herald-Leader obituary, Athought

flowers were a waste of moneyYso please abide by his wishes

and instead make a contribution in his memory to St. Paul's

Church, 501 West Short Street, Lexington, Kentucky 40507.@

purchased Sparky Ville after the chesnut RNA=d for $170,000 at

the 2017 Keeneland September sale.

CANTERBURY OFFERS STARTER INCENTIVES Canterbury Park has unveiled enhanced incentive programs to

attract race-ready Thoroughbreds to its upcoming meeting. The

programs are designed to reward those that arrive and start

horses early in the meet, pay more purse money to all starters

throughout the 66 days of racing, and help with costs of shipping

through a loan program.

Under the incentives, every Thoroughbred starter in all

overnight races will be guaranteed 1% of the purse, or $250,

whichever is greater with the intent of providing purse money to

cover a greater percentage of race-day costs. In addition, every

Thoroughbred starter in all overnight races during the first

condition book (May 3-June 2) will earn an additional $250

participation bonus.

Canterbury Park will again offer a shipping loan program to

qualified applicants who arrive prior to the start of the 2019

racing season. Shipping loan applications will be due with stall

applications and will be reviewed by the stall allocation

committee. The committee will authorize up to $25,000 per

owner to cover the cost of horse transportation to Canterbury

Park. The loan will be repaid through an agreement between the

successful applicant and Canterbury Park. Full terms and

conditions are available with the 2019 stall application.

ACompetition for horses is fierce across the country,@ track

president Randy Sampson said. AShipping horses from meet to

meet is a cost of doing business, but it is also an upfront cost

that can create a cash-flow challenge. With the loan program,

we are looking to erase that barrier, help trainers ship their

stock to Canterbury, and with the purse structure here, repay

that loan throughout the meet.@

Canterbury=s 2019 season opens May 3 and the first condition

book, listing races to be run through June 2, is now available.

Total purses are projected to exceed $14.25 million, with a

per-day average of approximately $215,000.

FUNERAL SERVICES FOR JERRY PARKS SUNDAY Funeral services for Ocala Equine Insurance executive Jerry

Parks will be held Feb. 17 at Grace Episcopal Church, 502 S.E.

Broadway Street, Ocala, Florida, at 2:00 p.m.

A Celebration of Life will be held immediately following the

services from 3:30-6:00 p.m. at Ocala Breeders= Sales Company.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Boys and Girls

Club of Marion County, the Ocala Farm Ministry or Florida

Thoroughbred Retirement Program/Florida Thoroughbred

Charities.
