SCAT DADDY COLT TOPSSTRONG OBS OPENER
by Jessica Martini
OCALA, Fl - With a colt from the final crop of Scat Daddy leading
the way, the Ocala Breeders= Sales Company=s June Sale of 2-
Year-Olds and Horses of Racing Age got off to a strong start
Wednesday in Central Florida.
In all, 171 horses sold Wednesday for a gross of $6,460,500.
The average of $37,781 was up 15% from last year=s opening
session, while the median rose 17.6% to $20,000. Twelve horses
sold for $100,000 or more during the session, compared to 17
during last year=s opener to a two-day June sale.
AIt was a good start to the sale,@ said OBS Director of Sales Tod
Wojciechowski. AI thought it was a good day and a lot of horses
changed hands. The average was up and the median was up. It is
a little tough to compare the sales because we had a longer
session last year--we catalogued 374 for the first day last year
versus 300--so it=s a little hard to go day to day. But all in all, we
were in good shape. And, while it=s hard to make that apples-to-
apple comparisons between the sales, you=d rather see it this
way than the other way.@
The buy-back rate was 21.6%. It was 22.9% at the close of
business a year ago, but improved to 16.7% with the inclusion of
post-sale transactions.
In the first session of the 2017 June sale, 221 horses sold for
$7,260,000. The average was $32,851 and the median was
$17,000. Cont. p3
LICENSE IN PLACE, MONMOUTH SET TO
ROLL OUT SPORTS BETTING THURSDAY With emergency regulations to govern sports betting put in
place by the New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement and
license approval granted by the New Jersey Racing Commission
Wednesday, Monmouth Park will open its doors to accept its
long-anticipated first sports wagers Thursday morning at
10:30 a.m. The Oceanport racetrack, which was at the forefront
of a push to legalize sports betting outside of Nevada, will
become the first location in New Jersey to accept sports wagers
after the Supreme Court struck down a federal law barring
wagering on team sports May 14. Wagers at casinos in Atlantic
City are expected to begin shortly thereafter.
Although Delaware beat New Jersey to the punch in becoming
the first state to begin accepting sports bets under the new law
after legislation became entangled in a web of politics in the
Garden State, Dennis Drazin said Thursday still marks a
monumental occasion for Monmouth Park. Cont. p7 (click here)

OBS June cont.
Carlo Vaccarezza went to $650,000 to secure the session
topper, a colt by Scat Daddy (hip 211) who was consigned by
Top Line Sales on behalf of breeder Don Ming. The session
topper was one of three to better last year=s top price of
$320,000.
AI think it says that a good horse can sell here and sell well,@
Wojciechowski said. AWe try to let people know that the idea is,
if a horse needs time, you give them time and when they round
into form here in June, there is still plenty of money here to buy
those types of horses.@
The OBS June sale continues through Friday with sessions
beginning daily at 10 a.m.
Scat Daddy Colt to Vaccarezza Just four days removed from Justify (Scat Daddy)=s historic
Triple Crown sweep in the GI Belmont S., a colt by the late sire
(hip 211) lit up the board at OBS when selling for $650,000 to
Carlo Vaccarezza.
AI came down just to buy this horse,@ Vaccarezza said. AI saw
him and I loved him and Jimbo Gladwell told me he was doing
really well. Scat Daddy is the flavor of the week and this is the
last crop for Scat Daddy, so I figured we would just take a
chance.@
Vaccarezza acknowledged Justify=s exploits might have helped
push the colt=s price northward.
AIt was probably $100,000 up from where it was supposed to
go just because of Justify,@ he said. ABut I got lucky once with
Little Mike and we=ll try to repeat that again.@
Vaccarezza=s homebred Little Mike (Spanish Steps) won the
2012 GI Breeders= Cup Turf and GI Arlington Million and earned
over $3.5 million during his racing career.
Asked if their was a >little= in this colt=s future name,
Vaccarezza said, AI don=t know. We=ll see. Maybe we=ll call him
Little Daddy--no we can=t call him Little Daddy because I have a
Little Daddy, but we=ll call him some >Little.=@
Hip 211 is out of Satulah (Gone West), a daughter of graded
stakes winner War Thief (Lord at War {Arg}) and a half-sister to
graded stakes winner Boss Lafitte (Dynaformer). He was
consigned by Top Line Sales on behalf of breeder Don Ming, who
bought him back at $385,000 at last year=s Keeneland
September sale.
AWe always liked him and we always had high expectations for
him,@ said the breeder=s son, Jacob Ming, who is also a member
of the Top Line sales team. AWe wanted $400,000 for him in
September, but we thought we would be ok to take him home
and take him to a 2-year-old sale and let him perform. We knew
he was a good horse.@ Cont. p4

OBS June cont.
The March foal has only gotten better since last fall, according
to Ming.
AHe is still looks like the same horse, but he=s matured a lot
more,@ Ming said. AIt took him to June to grow up to his physical.
He was a big horse and he needed more time to mature. Coming
to this late sale really helped him.@
The juvenile worked a furlong in a co-fastest :9 4/5 last week.
AI was there when we breezed him,@ Ming said. AI brought him
up on the pony and it was exciting. It was something special. But
I knew he was that fast the whole time. That=s why we brought
him here. He=s an awesome horse and it=s good to see him go to
a good home so we can see what he can do.@
Of the colt=s final price tag, Ming added, AWe were thinking up
to $450,000--$500,000, if we were lucky. But $650,000 was a
plus, so we couldn=t be more happy with that.@

AYou can=t find much wrong with her,@ Price said. AShe=s a
lovely filly who is still growing. We targeted this sale with her
because she is a late foal and we thought we=d give her the time.
I think she is going to finish off to be a beautiful, fantastic 3-
year-old and I think we=ll be hearing good things from her.@
Price Thoroughbreds purchased the filly for $130,000 at last
year=s Fasig-Tipton October Yearling Sale. After last Thursday=s
breeze, Price admitted that was above his usual target price for
a yearling. But after Wednesday=s sale, the consignor agreed
that it would likely be more of the same at this fall=s yearling
sales.
AI don=t think we have any other choice, but to do that [spend
more],@ he said. AThe market really wants these upper-end
horses and that=s what we are going to have to do.@
Uncle Mo Colt Heads West A colt by Uncle Mo, who turned in the fastest three-furlong
work of :32 2/5 during last week=s under-tack show, brought a
final bid of $370,000 from bloodstock agent Marette Farrell
during Wednesday=s first session of the OBS June Sale and will
head west to the California barn of trainer Peter Eurton. Farrell
was bidding on behalf of Exline-Border Racing LLC of Ryan Exline
and Justin Border. The partnership was co-owner of champion
Champagne Room (Broken Vow) and multiple graded stakes
winner Giant Expectations (Frost Giant).
AWe thought his mechanics were phenomenal,@ Farrell said of
the juvenile. AHe=s a big, two-turn horse. We knew he wasn=t
perfect in front, but we thought that Peter Eurton is such a good
horseman and a trainer who really zones in on his horses every
day, so we thought it was a good fit.@
Farrell said the colt=s workout time was not as important as
how the work was accomplished. She credited Tescha Von
Bluecher with flagging the colt=s impressive gallop-out.
AIt wasn=t so much about the time, but it was that he is such a
big horse and the time opened our eyes to the fact that he did it
so easily,@ she said. AMore importantly for us was the gallop out-
-he floated around the turn. And he had no oxygen debt after he
finished, so obviously he=s got a huge heart capacity. Tescha Von
Bluecher always sits back there all the time and she really liked
his gallop out.@
The bay colt (hip 41) is out of Mississippi Queen (Artie Schiller),
a half-sister to Grade I winner Asi Siempre (El Prado {Ire}). He
was purchased in utero for $360,000 at the 2015 Keeneland
November sale by Blandford Stud and was bred by Paget
Bloodstock. He was consigned to the OBS sale by Gayle Woods.
The colt was offset in a knee and Woods admitted that
conformation flaw affected his final price Wednesday.
AThe reserve was $299,000 and they carried on a little bit past
there,@ Woods said. AI think he is worth more than that, but he
was discounted because of the knee. But he=s a special, special
horse. He has so much class and he never puts a foot wrong.
He=s a giant, I=ve called him my gentle giant all year.@

Sam Elliott Busy for St Lucia Turf Club Sam Elliott, formerly director of racing at Parx and now chiefexecutive officer at the Saint Lucia Turf Club, kept up a freneticpace of buying Wednesday in Ocala as he attempts to increasethe Thoroughbred population on the Carribean island ahead ofits track opening in February. Flanked by the China Horse Club=sMichael Wallace and Mick Flanagan, Elliott signed the ticket on16 juveniles for a total of $136,500 and an average of $8,531. AWe=ve gotten a nice mix of colts and fillies,@ Elliott said. AIhave Michael Wallace and Mick Flanagan with me--it=s moretheir job to pick out who they like. We are looking for durablityand obviously we have to keep the cost factor down. We=regoing to turn them out now and then we are going to ship themto St. Lucia by plane. So it=s not just the cost of getting them, butgetting them there as well.@ Elliott said the horses will ship to St. Lucia in the fall and thenew track is expected to open in early 2019. AThe plan is to have these horses down there at the end ofSeptember,@ he said. ASo we are going to turn them out for therest of June and July. They are going to be out for a while. Thenwe will put them back in training. Opening day of the new trackis Feb. 10. Hopefully they will all be ready to go then.@ While the Royal St. Lucia Turf Club currently owns all of theJune acquisitions, the group hopes to attract local owners. AThe idea is to sell them down there,@ Elliott said. AEventhough there is no racing down there, there is an equine culture.There are quite a few horses down there and I=ve spoken topeople already who have interest in purchasing horses. One ofour jobs will be to identify them and maybe we=ll putpartnerships together down there. And then figure it out fromthere. It=s a work in progress. Racing is new there, but there isan awful lot of racing around us--Martinique, Barbados andTrinidad and Tobago. So hopefully out of that group, we=ll putsomething together. The plan is not to hold on to them, but tosell them.@

Sports Betting cont. from p1
The track, which has struggled to maintain its viability in recent
years as competing racetracks in surrounding states have
channeled into alternative gaming revenue, is seemingly
positioned to parlay profits from sports wagering into higher
purses and more dates for horsemen.
AWe are thankful to all those who will make this Thursday a
day long remembered,@ Drazin said. AEven more so, [we are]
looking forward to sports fans from all over converging on
Monmouth Park to partake in sports betting, which was

Sports Betting cont.
The stage was finally set Monday after New Jersey Governor
Phil Murphy ended a prolonged delay and signed a bill
authorizing licensed racetracks and casinos to begin conducting
sports betting. In the intervening time, an additional step was
taken when the Division of Gaming Enforcement issued a series
of regulations Tuesday.
In an interesting twist, the regulations stipulated that sports
betting pools could be operated at the sites of Aformer
racetracks@ in addition to licensed racetracks and casinos. The
term Aformer racetrack@ was defined as any place where a horse
racing meet was held within 15 years prior, meaning the
shuttered Atlantic City Race Course would be eligible for a
license. Atlantic City hosted live racing for 68 consecutive years
from 1946 to 2014 before being permanently closed by its
owners, Greenwood Racing. While there had been speculation
that the shopping plaza situated on the site of the former
Garden State Park Racetrack in Cherry Hill--which closed in
2001--would be eligible, the language of this week=s regulations
would apparently exclude it from consideration.
Regulations were also put in place for online sports wagering,
although no platform will be approved prior to mid-July.
GOLDEN GATE FUTURE IN DOUBT OVER
SIMULCAST DISPUTE The Stronach Group (TSG)=s Golden Gate Fields property could
potentially close down due to a dispute over simulcast operation
funding in Northern California, according to a report published
in the Blood-Horse. According to the report, TSG COO Tim Ritvo
said that the California Horse Racing Board (CHRB) has
threatened to revoke Golden Gate=s operational license if they
do not remain involved with a regional simulcast network that
requires funding from the track. In response, Ritvo said the track
could cease operations if the CHRB did not change its stance.
APlease be advised there will be an urgent meeting at 10 a.m.
tomorrow by the paddock for all horsemen at Golden Gate
Fields with regard to the future of Golden Gate Fields,@ a tweet
from the Golden Gate Press account read Wednesday
afternoon.
That meeting, according to the Blood-Horse report, will involve
a discussion between horsemen and track management over
the simulcast issue. Ritvo told Blood-Horse that the current
simulcasting arrangement through NOTWINC (Northern
California Off-Track Wagering Inc.) essentially requires Golden
Gate to fund off-track betting facilities in the region.
CUMMINGS NAMED TIF EXECUTIVE
DIRECTOR Pat Cummings has been named the executive director of the
Thoroughbred Idea Foundation, a non-profit orgnization
recently founded to Acreate an active forum for the exchange
and curation of ideas designed to improve the prospects of the
Thoroughbred industry and its stakeholders.@
AIt is great to welcome Pat as the Executive Director of the
Thoroughbred Idea Foundation,@ said Craig Bernick, TIF
founder and board member. APat brings a wealth of both
domestic and international experience to the table. He is a
great communicator, curious by nature and an optimist at heart.
He has been a lifelong fan of horse racing, a longtime
gambler, and an owner through various syndicates.@
Cummings, 37, joins the TIF after three years as the Executive
Manager, Public Affairs (Racing) at the Hong Kong Jockey Club,
during which time he helped introduce an increasingly
worldwide audience to the Hong Kong racing product while
overseeing the strategy and delivery of racing communications,
media management and new media development. Prior to that,
Cummings spent four years as the director of racing information
for Trakus and seven years with the investment firm Vanguard
before that. Cont. p9

person to spearhead TIF=s goal of improving horse racing for
owners, gamblers and fans. We are fortunate that he will lead
the Thoroughbred Idea Foundation from the start.@
Cummings will be based in Lexington, Kentucky, when he takes
up his position late this summer.
AIt is incredibly
exciting to be
returning home to
launch the
Thoroughbred Idea
Foundation,@ said
Cummings. AHorse
owners and
gamblers are the
foundation of
racing and our
focus will be on
issues that can improve the economics of
the sport for these two primary constituencies. The trickle-down
impact thereafter is obvious. TIF will curate new, and
surely some old ideas, and we will advocate for change to
benefit those making the most significant financial
investments in the sport while working with racing=s existing
decision-makers. I am looking forward to working with
our accomplished board and to begin tackling the many
challenges ahead.
He continued, AI enjoyed three wonderful years in Hong Kong
working in a world-class environment. The Hong Kong Jockey
Club is an all-encompassing organization with a great team, a
shining example of what is possible in this industry, and to have
been a part of that was a priceless experience.@
FINDING THE RIGHT PATHby Diana Pikulski
So, it=s time to retire your racehorse...
What comes next? You are likely aware of a variety of options
and services available to you as a horse owner, but which path
ensures that your horse will be equipped with the proper
safeguards to ensure he ends up with the best chance at a
happy life over the next 20+ years?
You dread the prospect of receiving a phone call or Facebook
message saying that the horse you once owned is at risk in a kill
pen, and you want to take every measure to avoid that
situation.
A good place to start is the local HBPA or owner's organization
to see what programs may exist and are funded through the
track and horsemen's group (Take the Lead, Turning for Home
for example).
Alternatively, go directly to one of the non-profit organizations
dedicated to Thoroughbred racehorse aftercare. Most are
accredited by the Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance (TAA), giving
you assurance that the facilities are inspected regularly and the
governance and management have been vetted by the TAA.
Most likely, you will be asked to make a donation. See the list of
accredited organizations here.
But such placement is not always available. Many horses need
time off before retraining or are not sound enough to be
re-trained for a second career as a riding horse. The placement
spots for pasture-sound only horses are limited at least until the
demand for Thoroughbreds in equine-assisted therapeutic
placements increases.
So, what options exist for horses that need time off,
rehabilitation or are only ever going to be pasture-sound?
First, it is worth a try to retire your horse in a TAA-accredited
or otherwise reliable non-profit. You will most likely be required
to make a larger donation than if the horse was sound for
retraining. But, you can be confident that the horse is enjoying
retirement and you can check on him regularly and continue to
support him.

Finding the Right Path cont.
"When trying to retire a horse that needs a sanctuary or
non-riding home, the TAA recommends reaching out to a
TAA-accredited organization in your area that is a noted
sanctuary or rehab. Placing a horse in a sanctuary home may
take some time,@ said Erin Shea of the TAA. "Many equine
sanctuaries have large, aging herds, so patience and clear
communication of your horse's needs are key to re-homing your
horse if this is your situation. Also, just because a horse cannot
be a competitive athlete does not mean that they cannot have a
new career and are bound for sanctuary life. For example,
TAA-accredited organizations Saratoga War Horse, Equine
Rescue of Aiken, Life Horse at Breezy Hill, and Square Peg,
among others, all focus on equine-human therapy along with
sanctuary for horses."
The Thoroughbred Retirement Foundation's Second Chances
Program which maintains pasture-sound horses at prison-based
farms where the horses have a meaningful second career
rehabilitating incarcerated men and women is a great option.
A second alternative is retirement boarding. The cost will be
between approximately $200 and $500 per month, not including
trimming (which averages $40 every 8 weeks) and vet care
(vaccinations and teeth floating run an average of $350 per
year). Retirement boarding farms now exist all over the U.S.
Once again, you have control over the horse's well being. One
good example is Historic Long Branch in Virginia.
As a third option, you could choose--as a number of owners
do--to sell or give away your horse. No one wants their horse to
end up in the kill pan, and most tracks have a policy which states
that any horse owner or trainer found to have directly or
indirectly sold a horse that ends up in the kill pen will have their
stalls permanently revoked. This could happen unknowingly if
you are not careful about vetting out the buyer or recipient.
Here are some tips to help ensure your horse's safety:
1) Use a signed agreement like this one provided by CANTER
USA to the trainers who chose to list horses for sale on its
website.
2) Consider a 'first right of refusal' requiring the buyer to agree
that they will not give away or sell the horse without first asking
if you want it back.
3) Consider a clause that allows for you to check on the horse.
4) Obtain a copy of the buyer's driver's license.
5) Include language that they will never put the horse in a
livestock auction or sell it to slaughter buyers.
6) Have the agreement notarized.
7) Require a professional reference from a veterinarian. Ask of
the vet when they last visited the farm or saw the animals of the
person. Obtain the veterinarian's license number.
8) Sell the horse as "Retired from Racing" and execute the forms
provided by The Jockey Club.
"Thoroughbreds are more in demand as riding horses than
ever in the past 30 or so years, thanks in large part to incentive
programs like TIP and TAKE2, as well as the work of Retired
Racehorse Project," said Nancy Koch, Executive Director of
CANTER, USA. "But owners and trainers must use due diligence
in their transactions. It is extremely important to get references
and check on the horse, or have someone check on the horse a
week or so after it leaves to be sure it is adjusting and the
people are who they represented themselves to be."
Being part of a syndicate adds a few issues for owners seeking
to secure a second career or retirement for a racehorse.
Regina Schneller, whose partnership has horses with Eddie
Coletti, has her name and address attached to all of the
partnership horses' papers in the event that the horse gets
claimed and is owned by someone else at the time of
retirement.
"To find homes, the first thing that our partnership does is ask
if any partners are interested in giving the horse a home, next is
to contact Turning For Home. If the horse has problems, then I
make take the horse or board it at a retirement farm. I then ask
the other partners to chip in on the board/donation,@ explained
Schneller. "One horse recently needed a period of time for to be
turned out before training so he went to CANTER and I paid for
his care until he was ready to be adopted."

A PROUD BROTHERby Ben Walden
There have been many storylines associated with Justify=s
recent Triple Crown accomplishment. What a job John Gunther
and his daughter and partner Tanya have done in recent years
with a broodmare band of modest size. And what a stallion Scat
Daddy has shown us to be, and what a loss his premature death
represents to all of us. And there's Bob Baffert, being Bob
Baffert, compressing a maiden to Triple Crown campaign into
five or six months time. And what a inspiration Mike Smith has
been to all of us balding and silver-haired 50 plus-year-old folks,
in the manner he has maintained his health and his fitness to
compete at the highest level as an athlete, as good as the most
talented of young riders. And even Justify=s dam "showed off" a
little more by following him with another major stakes winner
during the course of the Triple Crown. And i have to call out my
precious Ghostzapper, as not just Justify=s broodmare sire, but a
budding sensation as a young broodmare sire, his numbers are
really good.
It was interesting to me to see Pimlico and Churchill Downs put
on such a great show, with "bursting at the seams@ crowds,
while under such horrible weather conditions. It was as if the
people there on both days were oblivious to the rain. Another
incredible aspect of this Triple Crown is that I don=t remember
observing a top racehorse in my lifetime that has showed such
calm, having not one reason to do so, based on his void of
experience. Do you ever remember Justify turning a hair?
And another Triple Crown storyline for me in this 2018, was
men at the forefront of the drama, living out their Alarger than
life@ personas on national television; Kenny Troutt and Mike
Smith bold as lions and gentle as lambs, declaring their genuine
gratitude to the God they serve, and believe in, Jesus The Christ.
But I have another storyline to share. It is one of a little
bespectacled 10 year old boy growing up on a small horse farm
in Midway, Kentucky with a Racing Form in his hand. I was five
years his older brother, and I don=t think I could read the Form
nearly as well. I was the brother that loved the farm, and this
boy had his mind and his heart set on the racetrack from my
earliest memory of discussing potential vocations or lifestyle.
How he grew so fond of it at such a young age, I just don=t know.
Our father would take us to Ellis, Latonia, Keeneland, Churchill,
and River Downs when we had a filly run. So I guess this young
boy was a quick study, and didn=t take long to know what he
wanted to do. And as the Lord would have it, coupled with an
insatiable work ethic, this kid would grow up and become a very
fine horse trainer. Brereton Jones told me one day after Elliott
won the Belmont with Victory Gallop that he would be in the
Racing Hall of Fame one day, that he was that good a horse
trainer--and I had no doubt.
Let=s fast forward to 2018. You have probably figured out by
now that I am the older brother who is so very proud of his
younger brother. May I share with you why?
Behind the scenes of the previously discussed Triple Crown
won by this great horse Justify, ridden by that great
aforementioned rider, owned by that powerhouse owner group,
trained by the man with the most famous silver hair of all time,
and bred by the remarkable father/daughter Gunther team, lies
that little bespectacled boy who loved the racetrack at that
young age.

A Proud Brother cont.
On the more prominent national TV shots of the Triple Crown
races, and their winner=s circle footage, one would not see
Elliott. You could maybe find him if you were trying, on the back
row of the winner=s circle. But I looked. Many times. And it was
hard. I had surgery on Oaks day, and consequently was unable
to attend any of the Triple Crown races. But when I did pick him
up, and observe him, he most often was looking at Kenny, his
boss, smiling at the good pleasure and excitement that he was
enjoying. He was so happy for him.
Yess Elliott gets his share of interviews, being such a key player
in such a key operation internationally, but I was so proud to
observe him this spring, through this epic journey of Justify,
comfortable on the back row, modest, and understated. One
wouldn=t know that he and his wonderfully talented bloodstock
man, David Hanley had not only picked out Justify (along with
China Horse Club's Michael Wallace and SF Bloodstock's Tom
Ryan), but also purchased arguably 2018=s second best 3-year-
old in Audible.
And then there is the overall success of WinStar. Yes, they are
led, at least on the ground, by my little brother, along with the
obvious astute oversight of Kenny, his boss. There have been
times when I have had a difficult time wrapping my mind around
the scope of WinStar, much less the success of WinStar. I think
most of us in the industry admire Elliott. But i just had to
articulate my feelings of pride for the job he has done, and the
man that little boy has become. A man who relies not on his
own strength to get through each day=s challenges, but that of
the same God, the same Savior, the same Christ, that Kenny
Troutt and Mike Smith called out in gratitude throughout this
remarkable Triple Crown journey of 2018, and that horse, not
with just bottomless talent, but with the impeccably unusual
mind and maturity: Justify. No doubt, my mother and father
would have been proud too.

Silent Citizen took to this class hike with aplomb, forging clear
late for his first stakes score. Pressing from second rounding the
first turn, the dark bay sat back a bit to track from third through
a first half in :47.81. Looming dangerously while two-wide on
the far turn, Silent Citizen took control from Up the Ante in
mid-stretch and kicked clear to score. Up the Ante completed
the exacta followed by favored Archaggelos. Opening his
account with a decisive score in a $20,000 maiden claimer at
Gulfstream West in November, Silent Citizen crossed the wire
first next out in a Tampa starter allowance Jan. 19, but was
disqualified and placed fifth for interference. Winning at the
level next out there Mar. 4, he was runner-up in another starter
allowance at that venue Mar. 31 and returned to winning ways
in a similar Tampa test Apr. 27. The winner=s dam is also
responsible for the juvenile filly Runninawaywithit (Run Away

Adrian McGoldrick has plenty of plans for retirement | Racing Post
RETIREMENT JUST A WORDFOR MCGOLDRICK
By Daithi Harvey
After 11 years in the position of senior medical officer with the
Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board, Dr. Adrian McGoldrick will
retire at the end of this year, and as he enters the final six
months of his role he can be proud of the impact and
improvements he has bestowed on the sport in just over a
decade. "I turned 65 years of age in April so having agreed to
retire in my 65th year, I will be finishing up on Dec. 31," he told
the TDN. "The job will be advertised within the next month and
then whoever is appointed will have several months lead in time
until I finish up."
Before Irish racing's participants, jockeys in particular, start to
despair about the sport losing one of its most cherished assets,
the news that McGoldrick will still maintain an active role within
the sport will allow many to breathe a sigh of relief. "It is almost
a sideways step as I currently am, and will continue to be,
involved in a number of research projects that will hopefully
benefit racing in the long term," he said.
One of these projects involves assessing and monitoring the
bone density of jockeys in an effort to combat later life bone
afflictions such as osteoporosis, as well as fractures as a result of
in-competition falls. Cont. p2
SIYOUNI AVAILABLE ON SOUTHERN
HEMISPHERE TIME Siyouni (Fr) (Pivotal {GB}--Sichilla {Ire}, by Danehill), will be
available on Southern Hemisphere time at the Aga Khan=s Haras
de Bonneval in France for €50,000 (A$76,700), the stud
announced on Wednesday.
His progeny are led by Ervedya (Fr), a triple Group 1 winner
from his first crop, while the bay has been enjoying a banner
year, with juvenile Group 1 winner Laurens (Fr) scooping the
May 27 G1 Prix Saint-Alary after finishing runner-up in the G1
English 1000 Guineas.
The 2017 French champion sire=s lone Australian runner,
Aylmerton (Aus), struck in the G2 Todman S. Down Under in
March. Siyouni has also been represented by additional 2018
group winners Finsbury Square (Ire), La Signare (Fr), City Light
(Fr), and Barkaa (Fr) so far.

Retirement Just A Word For McGoldrick Cont. from p1
Bone thinning is mainly down to jockeys wasting and dieting to
make weights well below their natural state and while major
improvements have been made in the last decade as regards
educating riders over the benefits of nutrition and exercise as a
viable alternative to saunas and starvation, at the end of the day
flat jockeys, in particular, are expected to maintain weights that
are just not natural for the vast majority.
"The Injured Jockeys Fund bought a DEXA Scanner earlier this
year. It measures bone density and identifies bone thinning,"
McGoldrick explained. "In initial studies we conducted on
jockeys about 15 years ago about half of them had bone
thinning, and this study included both apprentices and senior
jockeys. The scanner is based in RACE [Racing Academy and
Centre of Education] and we plan to DEXA scan all of our riders,
professionals this year and hopefully the amateurs also by next
year. We will collate the results and can then advise if anyone
needs Vitamin D or further supplementation if there is
significant bone thinning. It's something that can be reversed to
a certain extent so it is important that if it is an issue that it is
identified early in a jockey=s life. The potential of fractures is also
greatly reduced when peak density is achieved."
Acquiring the scanner came about through a fundraising event
staged in Limerick a couple of years ago primarily to raise funds
for Robbie McNamara. The idea was that a portion of the funds
raised would be ring-fenced for use on a project of Dr.
McGoldrick's choosing and this particular area was one he
thought would yield significant long term benefits. "Having our
own scanner means we can also carry out meaningful research
on the benefits of vitamin supplements, for example, and we
can also track their benefits over six month periods. It's a
massive step forward," he said.
Specialised hardware such as this scanner, in conjunction with
an increased support structure of professional personnel, means
jockeys now have the necessary resources at their disposal to
maximize their potential and thus their careers, something that
did not exist at the turn of this century.
"Gillian O'Loughlin is a dietician based in RACE and she does
excellent work. As a result of this combined effort we are getting
the message out to riders that there is a better way to make the
weight than using a sauna,@ McGoldrick said. ARonan Whelan is a
prime example, he is probably half a stone lighter now than he
was three years ago. He eats three meals a day and drinks three
litres of water each day. He has taken the advice of the dietician,
follows a regime and its working for him. He is strong and fit and
it shows in his riding."

WE DO KNOW THERE ARE MAJOR
PROBLEMS WITH MENTAL HEALTH
ISSUES IN RACING WITH TWICE THE
LEVEL OF DEPRESSIVE SYMPTOMS
COMPARED TO
THE ORDINARY POPULATION.Adrian McGoldrick
Retirement Just A Word For McGoldrick Cont.
He continued, "Compared to 10 years ago jockeys are
definitely healthier and other stakeholders are also playing a
part. The racecourses are improving all the time, although they
still have a bit to do to match their counterparts in the UK. The
place most jockeys tend to eat is at the track. They generally
don't eat much in the mornings before going racing so it is
important that there is a choice of healthy, nutritious food
available at race meetings. The last thing we want is jockeys
leaving the racecourse hungry and stopping off on the way
home for a can of coke and a burger."
McGoldrick is also involved in research with sports
psychologist Ciara Losty in the Waterford Institute of Technology
with mental health of jockeys very much at the forefront of that
research.
"We do know there are major problems with mental health
issues in racing with twice the level of depressive symptoms
compared to the ordinary population in the 20-35-year-old age
bracket,@ he said. AWe have strong belief those symptoms often
arise as a result of constant wasting and that's the whole idea of
this project, to look at it in greater detail, get to the root of the
problem and then put the structures in place to deal with it,
whether that is through counselling or even approaching the
powers that be to revisit the issue of the current weight
structures."
The third project that has come on stream looks at the
physiological demands of a jockey. According to McGoldrick
there was little information on how much energy a jockey
expends on horseback. Initial indications are that it may not be
as much as previously thought and he was also keen to learn
how much stimulation for bone growth is received by being in
the saddle.

Jockeys give Adrian McGoldrick a guard of honor at
Leopardstown in April | Racing Post
Retirement Just A Word For McGoldrick Cont.
Medical experts propose that up to an hour of weight bearing
exercise a day plays a major role in bone development and while
riders are in the saddle, seemingly exercising, what they are
benefitting from a bone formation point of view is apparently
quite negligible.
Speaking to McGoldrick it is clear he is very much in favour of
seeing a rise in the minimum weights carried by jockeys.
"Absolutely, it is inevitable," he said. "The rule of thumb is that
the average weight of the population is rising by a pound every
three years. In fact last year two prominent Irish trainers made
submissions to the IHRB and HRI requesting an increase in the
minimum weights. This resulted in the Trainers' Association
coming together to request the same. Weight structures just
have to go up, a lot of jockeys are riding two stone below their
natural weight and that is not sustainable. There are fewer and
fewer young riders coming
through who can ride off the
minimum weight."
He continued, "In fairness to
HRI anytime we have
approached them to discuss the
possibility of raising the weight
they have been receptive and
the authorities in the UK have
followed suit but in France they
are holding back as they feel at
least half their riders can make
the minimum weight. I have
actually spoken to Aidan
O'Brien at length about it and
he sees no reason why the
Classics, for example, couldn't
be run carrying nine and a half
stone. I appreciate it's a heritage issue but I genuinely see no
logic in jockeys having to ride off some of the lower weights they
must carry."
McGoldrick exudes energy and it's impossible to imagine him
taking life at a slower pace than he currently does, regardless of
his age and he has successfully juggled his IHRB role with a busy
GP surgery in Newbridge, within a mile of The Curragh
Racecourse.
"This job takes up about a third of my time, I do 70 days racing
every year and I spend a few hours at the IHRB offices every
week meeting various staff members there and it is quite
cohesive,@ he said. AI envisage going racing just as frequently
when I retire as I've been asked to stay involved at Naas and The
Curragh and hopefully I can do a few days at Punchestown and
other places. I'd like to keep racing as I enjoy it."
McGoldrick had no early involvement in racing but like so
many people who have been exposed to it through their locality,
the sport got under his skin eventually. "I had no major interest
in racing when I was young, bar cycling to the Irish Derby as a
child but when I got established as a GP in Kildare a lot of
jockeys became patients of mine and I grew fascinated with the
sport as a result. I could see a lot of jockeys were struggling and
the first piece of research I undertook was with Kevin Manning
and a few others. About 15 years ago they allowed me to take
their bloods before and after racing to test for dehydration. The
late Ned Gowing of Anglesey Lodge Veterinary Clinic had a lab
converted to test human blood so we took the bloods before
racing, brought them across to the lab and repeated the process
later that day. The results showed they were severely
dehydrated, their blood sugars and potassium levels were falling
during racing and that they were in fact competing while
chronically dehydrated. No
other athlete in sport would
dream of competing like that."
Since that initial research
McGoldrick has been a tireless
campaigner for improving the
health, safety and well-being of
jockeys and there are several
things on his wish list for the
next five years. "I would love to
see RACE being developed into
a full rehab centre similar to
Oaksey House in Lambourn. I
was there a number of years
ago and was so impressed that I
met with both Brian Kavanagh
and Denis Egan when I returned
to propose the development of
something similar here. The response was that the renovation of
the Curragh Racecourse was the priority for that period but
when that was finished it could be revisited. So that could
hopefully be something that could be looked at next year."
He continued, "While there is some streamlining currently
taking place I would also like to see the various charitable
organisations like the Irish Jockey's Trust, the Injured Jockeys
Fund and the Drogheda Memorial Fund come together under
the one umbrella. It is a bit confusing for people and I think both
fundraising efforts and the work they do to assist people would
be more successful if they all came under the one banner.
Finally, I would also love to see the day when jockeys didn't have
to use saunas."

Siyouni | The Aga Khan Studs
Masar and William Buick winning the Derby | Racing Post
Retirement Just A Word For McGoldrick Cont. Finding someone to take over the mantle of Adrian McGoldrickwill not be an easy process, as those with his level ofcompassion and drive for improving the lot of other people arerare. His contribution to Irish racing over the past decade hasbeen immense and luckily enough for the sport it seems that itwill take more than retirement to put a stop to that.
Siyouni Available On Southern Hemisphere Time Cont. from p1 ASiyouni=s continuous success in Europe and his first groupwinner in Australia have sparked significant interest in theSouthern Hemisphere,@ said Georges Rimaud, manager of TheAga Khan Studs in France. AThe number of mares he has coveredthis year and his increased value mean we will not be able toshuttle him, however, we wished to make him available tobreeders interest in using him Southern Hemisphere time. Ibelieve he is now a very attractive stallion for the Australianmarket, as he produces strong, well developed, fast horses thatare precocious and can ran on at the highest level.@
Out of the winning Sichilla, Siyouni won the G1 Prix Jean-LucLagardere-Grand Criterium for his owner/breed H.H. the AgaKhan in 2009 and was also second in the G1 Prix Jean Prat andG1 Prix du Moulin de Longchamp, both in 2010.He is a half-brother to English/French highweight and G1 Kingdom ofBahrain Sun Chariot S. victress Siyouma (Ire) (Medicean {GB}),and SWs & MGSPs Siyenica (Fr) (Azamour {Ire}) and Sayana (Fr)(Galileo {Ire}). (Return to story p1)
ECLIPSE AIM FOR MASAR
Godolphin=s G1 Investec Derby winner Masar (GB) (New
Approach {Ire}) will bypass the G1 Irish Derby on June 30 in
favour of the G1 Coral-Eclipse S. a week later.
"His Highness Sheikh Mohammed and I discussed Masar's
programme at length and have reached the conclusion that the
Eclipse will suit him best," said trainer Charlie Appleby. "We will
leave him in the Irish Derby, just to keep all options open. But
the intention is to run in the Eclipse.@
Masar would be dropping back to 10 furlongs for the Eclipse,
but returning to a track that he has won over, having taken the
G3 Solario S. there last year.
"Masar has won at Sandown, showing that he acts well on the
track and dropping back in trip will be no problem--he won the
Craven S. and finished third in the 2000 Guineas,@ Appleby said.
AHe's got plenty of speed."
Dee Ex Bee (GB) (Farhh {GB}), who carried the colours of
Sheikh Mohammed=s son Sheikh Hamdan to second in the
Derby, seems likely to head to the Irish Derby, according to
Charlie Johnston, assistant to his father Mark Johnston.
"Jono Mills [Godolphin bloodstock manager] has been up to
the yard this morning and I think if Masar is going to the Eclipse,
that would make Ireland a strong favourite for Dee Ex Bee,@
Johnston said. "He is in great order and we could even have
gone to Royal Ascot as he came out of [the Derby] that well. The
Irish Derby and the Grand Prix De Paris were the two options on
the table and if Masar is skipping Ireland, it makes us more likely
to go there."

with his charge in Newmarket on Wednesday. AWith weather
appearing to be dry, the decision has been made to run in the
Diamond Jubilee, not the King[>s] S.@
>BOMBER= WILL MISS ROYAL ASCOT Group 1 winner Lancaster Bomber (War Front) will miss an
intended engagement in the G1 Prince Of Wales=s S. at Royal
Ascot next week due to injury. The bay ran third behind
stablemate Rhododendron (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) in the G1 Lockinge
S. earlier this spring, but won his first top-flight race last time in
the G1 Tattersalls Gold Cup on May 27.
Trainer Aidan O'Brien was contemplating supplementing his
charge for the Prince of Wales's S. at the Royal meeting, but
speaking on www.attheraces.com during a stable tour said, "I
don't think he'll make it to Royal Ascot. He is going through a
niggly problem with a foot at the moment, so it's likely to he
won't be ready enough to run there."
O'Brien also confirmed high-class 3-year-old fillies Magical

ATo have catalogued six beautifully bred yearling fillies by the
great Galileo adds a rare and exciting dimension to this year=s
Tattersalls July Sale and also to have a young Group 1 winner in
foal to Galileo further enhances the reputation of the July Sale
as Europe=s premier midsummer sale,@ said Tattersalls Chairman
Edmond Mahony. AYear after year the July Sale is the source of
Group 1 producers and performers on the global stage and the
combination of fillies and mares from outstanding international
families and an abundance of progressive horses in training is a
formula which annually attracts buyers from all corners of the
world."

FIRST WINNER FOR SIRE
Alhebayeb (pictured) sired his first winner at Yarmouth on
Wednesday. | Racing Post
Wednesday=s Results:
1st-Haydock, ,10,000, Cond, 6-13, 3yo, 11f 140yT, 2:31.97, g/f.
CALIBURN (IRE) (c, 3, Camelot {GB}--Enchanted Evening {Ire},
by High Chaparral {Ire}), who was an eyecatching third over 12
furlongs at Thirsk May 8, raced behind the leading duo
throughout the early stages. Always travelling easily, the 11-10
favourite was sent past Guardsman (Ire) (More Than Ready)
approaching the furlong pole and was hand ridden to record a
four-length success. Enchanted Evening, who captured the
Listed Knockaire S., had the Meydan Classic-placed Taexali (Ire)
(Raven=s Pass) as her first foal. With a 2-year-old colt by Zoffany
(Ire) to follow, she is a daughter of the MGSW Glen Kate (Ire)
(Glenstal) responsible for three other stakes winners and the
dam of the GII San Clemente H., GII Dahlia H. and GII Santa Ana
H. winner Katdogawn (GB) (Bahhare). Sales history: 155,000gns

SWISS KNIGHT (GB) (c, 3, Oasis Dream {GB}--Swiss Diva {GB}
{MGSW-Fr, SP-Eng & Ire, $309,079}, by Pivotal {GB}), runner-up
over seven furlongs at Wolverhampton in December, took a
fierce hold in third early. Sent to the front passing the two-
furlong pole, the 7-4 second favourite was kept up to his work to
beat Caradoc (Ire) (Camelot {GB}) by 3/4 of a length. The dam
Swiss Diva was a smart sprinter for Trevor Harris=s Lordship
Stud, winning the G3 Prix de Meautry and G3 Prix du Petit
Couvert. She is a daughter of the talented Swiss Lake (Indian
Ridge {Ire}), winner of two listed races and runner-up in the G2
Flying Childers S. and also the dam of the GSW sire Swiss Spirit
(GB) (Invincible Spirit {Ire}). This is her first live foal, while she
has a 2-year-old filly by Kingman (GB) named Poetry (GB), a
yearling colt by Dark Angel (Ire) and a filly foal by Frankel (GB)
named Geneva Diva (GB). Sales history: 475,000gns Ylg >16

PHOENIX STAR (IRE) (c, 2, Alhebayeb {Ire}--Volcanic Lady {Ire},
by Invincible Spirit {Ire}), who was last of seven behind TDN
Rising Star Legends of War (Scat Daddy) over six furlongs here
on debut May 23, was keen under restraint early behind the
leaders. Switched stand=s side when still at the back of the main
group with two furlongs remaining, the 10-1 shot delivered a
surge to lead 150 yards out and draw away for a convincing
1 3/4-length success from Street Parade (GB) (Swiss Spirit {GB}).
In doing, so he becomes the first winner for Tara Stud=s G2 July
S.-winning first-season sire (by Dark Angel {Ire}). The dam, who
also has a yearling filly by Raven=s Pass, is a half to the dams of
the G1 Irish Oaks and G1 Prix de l=Opera heroine Covert Love

{Ire}, by Dylan Thomas {Ire}), runner-up over six furlongs at
Redcar May 29, raced close to the front-running Nina Petrovna
(GB) (Havana Gold {Ire}) in second early. Edging ahead of that
rival approaching the final furlong, the 10-11 market leader
asserted to register a two-length verdict over that rival. Jessie
Jane, who also has a yearling filly by Slade Power (Ire), is a half
to the G3 Chester Vase runner-up Icon Dream (Ire) (Sadler=s
Wells) and the dam of the G1 Matron S. and G1 Phoenix S.

GOFFS LAND ROVER CONCLUDES The Goffs Land Rover Part II Sale concluded on Wednesday
with a pair of €70,000 store horses leading the way. A total of
177 (73%) horses changed hands for €3,118,000, a drop in
clearance of 9%. The average and median also declined, posting
marks of €17,616 (-13%) and €15,000 (-6%). Lot 305, a 3-year-
old gelding by Elusive Pimpernel out of Raheefa=s Mix (Ire) was
purchased for €70,000 by Kevin Ross Bloodstock from the
consignment of Peter Nolan Bloodstock. Later in the day, that
price was equaled by White Horse Stud=s lot 450, a gelded son of
the late Jeremy out of Ellen=s Choice (Ire) (Luso {GB}) who went
the way of Highflyer Bloodstock.
AWe have enjoyed another lively day of trade although it is fair
to acknowledge a more selective nature to this level of the
market as illustrated by the drop in clearance rate which,
although still respectable, could not match 2017,@ said Goffs
Chief Executive Henry Beeby. AThat said we have essentially held
steady on a day that made massive gains last year and it was just
as hard to buy the good ones today as 24 hours ago.@

i350,000 Goffs Orby purchase is out of a half-sister to the
brilliant stayer Order of St George (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) and other
stakes performers including Asperity (War Chant), who captured
the 2007 G3 Prix Paul de Moussac for the John Gosden stable
responsible for this colt. There are several interesting types in
the line-up including John Connolly and Odile Griffith=s Azets

TATOCT son of the MSW Nashmiah (Ire) (Elusive City), Phoenix

another from that stable in the filly Star Terms (GB) (Sea the
