GUN RUNNER TAKES HISPLACE AT THREE CHIMNEYS

by Andrew Caulfield

There was a time when any visit to Kentucky would not be

complete without a visit to Robert Clay=s Three Chimneys Farm.

Time the visit right and you might witness the unusual sight of

the stallions returning to the barn after their ridden exercise. I

remember well seeing the two-time champion Slew o'Gold

being hosed down afterwards, but it was always his sire Seattle

Slew who was the star of the show.

Subsequent years saw the likes of Rahy and Dynaformer added

to the team, with these two being particularly interesting to a

European visitor. However, the emphasis at Three Chimneys--

controlled by the Borges Torrealba family since November 2013--

is now firmly on dirt performers, with the aim being to produce

dirt stallions from the Three Chimneys mares.

As Goncalo Borges Torrealba told Ben Massam in an October

2016 TDN interview, Aeverything we do, at the end of the day,

goes toward filling up our stallion barn with the best quality

there can be...Our plan is definitely stallions, stallions and

stallions.@

The current roster stands at seven, now that Gun Runner has

ended his racing career in a blaze of glory in the GI Pegasus

World Cup Invitational. Significantly, six of the seven stallions

were Grade I winners on dirt, the exception being Fast Anna,

who missed that Grade I target by only a neck in the King=s

Bishop S.

GODOLPHIN SOPHOMORES HAVE WEEKEND

GRADED ASSIGNMENTS by Jessica Martini

A pair of Godolphin homebreds with 2-year-old graded stakes

wins on their resumes will kick off their sophomore seasons

Saturday, with GII Nashua S. winner Avery Island (Street Sense)

going postward in the GIII Withers S. at Aqueduct and

GII Kentucky Jockey Club S. winner Enticed (Medaglia d=Oro)

lining up for the GII Holy Bull S. at Gulfstream Park.

AAvery Island flies to New York Tuesday morning and he=ll run

Saturday in the Withers because he won the Nashua at

Aqueduct and he was second in the Remsen at Aqueduct, so we

think he is familiar with the track and we thought that was the

way to go,@ trainer Kiaran McLaughlin said Monday.

Stretched to 1 1/16 miles for his second career start, Avery

Island graduated by 5 1/4 lengths at Belmont Park last

September (video) before a commanding victory in the Nov. 5

GII Nashua S. at Aqueduct (video). (Click to continue to p6)

Gun Runner Takes his Place at

Three Chimneys (cont. from p1)

Gun Runner is the highest-priced at $70,000,

and next in the

pecking order come

Will Take Charge, who lost the

2013 GI Breeders= Cup Classic so

narrowly, having earlier won the

GI Travers S., and Palace Malice,

the 2013 GI Belmont S. winner who

later demonstrated his versatility

with victory in the GI Metropolitan

H. over a mile. Will Take Charge is

priced at $30,000, with Palace

Malice at $20,000.

In the same interview, conducted

before Gun Runner had gained the

first of his six Grade I victories,

Massam asked AWhat do you see in Gun Runner that makes you

think he will be a successful stallion?@

Torrealba=s enthusiastic response was that, AAlthough we did

not breed him, we bought into him as a yearling and also

acquired the whole family when we did the partnership with

Besilu [Stables]. He=s already from the family of a very successful

stallion who was deceased prematurely, Saint Liam. And of

course, Candy Ride is a bloodline that is open to all the A.P. Indy,

Mr. Prospector and Northern Dancer lines. It=s a great cross for

every good American bloodline

there is. The physical is second to

none, the pedigree is great.... He=s

the whole package.... He=s a horse

we want to send our best mares

to.@

Torrealba's enthusiasm must now

be even greater following the

events of the last 15 months. Gun

Runner packed nine starts (and a

lot of travel) into those months and

his considerable talent and

consistency yielded seven victories

and two seconds, including his fine

effort behind Arrogate (Unbridled=s

Song) in the G1 Dubai World Cup.

Cont. p4

Will Take Charge | A Coglianese

It is testament to the 5-year-old=s temperament that he was

able to parade for breeders at Three Chimneys in Kentucky just

a few days after he had made all to defeat Collected (City Zip),

West Coast (Flatter), War Story (Northern Afleet) and Arrogate

in the Breeders= Cup Classic at Del Mar in California.

That front-running Classic success represented Gun Runner=s

first victory over a mile and a quarter and there was never much

doubt that he possessed enough early speed to overcome his

wide draw when he dropped back a furlong in the Pegasus.

It is interesting that both Gun Runner and his fellow Three

Chimneys stallion Will Take Charge are both inbred to Fappiano,

a stallion whose impact on American dirt racing looks set to rise

and rise. Whereas Will Take Charge is inbred 3x4, via Unbridled

and Rubiano, Gun Runner is inbred 4x4, via Cryptoclearance and

Quiet American--the stallions who combined to complete the

1998 Triple Crown via their sons Victory Gallop and Real Quiet,

respectively.

Although I haven=t seen Gun Runner in the flesh, he appears to

be a very different physical type to the 17-hand Will Take

Charge. He is by the 15.3-hand Candy Ride, another individual

who showed that you don=t need to be big to shine on dirt. Like

Gun Runner, Candy Ride shone over Del Mar=s tight mile and a

quarter, covering the distance in 1:59.11 when he defeated

Medaglia d=Oro to take the 2003 GI Pacific Classic. It mustn=t be

forgotten that Candy Ride also won the GII American H. on turf,

as well as a pair of Argentine Group 1s contested over a mile on

turf. Candy Ride took both of those Argentine Group 1s by eight

lengths, so he was clearly capable of producing high-class form

both on dirt and turf.

Cont. p5

TDN HEADLINE NEWS • PAGE 5 OF 8 • THETDN.COM TUESDAY • JANUARY 30, 2018

Tapit--Miss Besilu prior to 2017 Keeneland September

ThoroStride

Gun Runner=s broodmare sire Giant=s Causeway was also top

class on turf, before being narrowly beaten by Tiznow in the

Breeders= Cup Classic on dirt, so Gun Runner has every chance of

siring smart runners on all surfaces in the U.S. (though perhaps

not on turf in Europe, where Fappiano=s descendants have

traditionally struggled).

Candy Ride now has a dozen Grade I winners to his credit, with

pride of place belonging to Gun Runner and his fellow Eclipse

Award winner the late Shared Belief, who was the champion

2-year-old of 2013. Like Gun Runner, Shared Belief combined

speed with a valuable amount of stamina, proving the latter

with victories over a mile and a quarter in the GI Pacific Classic

and GI Santa Anita H. Shared Account had a dam by Storm Cat,

as do his fellow graded stakes winners Sidney=s Candy (GI),

Sweet Swap (GIII) and Tiger Ride (GIII). Candy Ride=s affinity for

Storm Cat blood is also evident in the Grade I successes of Evita

Argentina and Capt. Candyman who--like Gun Runner--have

dams by sons of Storm Cat. Storm Cat also sired the second dam

of Mastery, the Grade I-winning Candy Ride colt who looked so

promising when he won his first four starts, only to suffer a

career-ending injury soon after crossing the line in the 2017

GII San Felipe S. Mastery, like Gun Runner, will shortly be

covering his first mares, as he has joined the Claiborne team at a

fee of $25,000.

Both these new stallions come from first-rate female lines

which have previously produced successful stallions. Gun

Runner=s dam, the Grade II winner Quiet Giant, is a half-sister to

Saint Liam, the 2005 Horse of the Year who also won the

Breeders= Cup Classic. Tragically, Saint Liam fractured a hind leg

not long after he had completed his first season at Lane=s End

Farm. Saint Liam=s legacy amounted to fewer than 100 foals, but

four of them became graded winners and another three were

graded placed.

Remarkably, one of them--the filly Havre de Grace--emulated

her sire=s Horse of the Year achievement before being sold for

$10 million.

Of course, Gun Runner also recently landed the Horse of the

Year title and he too comes from a family which is no stranger to

huge prices in the sales ring. His dam, the GII Molly Pitcher S.

winner Quiet Giant, cost Besilu Stables $3 million when she

appeared as part of the Ned Evans dispersal in 2011.

Gun Runner=s second dam Quiet Dance was also represented

at the 2011 sale by her stakes-winning A.P. Indy filly Dance

Quietly (who sold for $2 million), her Medaglia d'Oro weanling

filly ($2.6 million) and her winning Tiznow filly Quiet Now ($1.85

million). That=s a total of $9,450,000 for four daughters, three of

which were acquired by Ben Leon=s Besilu operation.

The weanling, later named Miss Besilu, proved her worth with

Grade I thirds in the CCA Oaks and the Alabama S. Quiet Now

has also added to the family fortunes, as her War Front filly Lull

numbers the GIII Autumn Miss S. among her black-type

victories. One of Quiet Giant=s older half-sisters, the Honour and

Glory mare Beatem Buster, also made her mark by producing

the GI Mother Goose S. winner Buster=s Ready.

Quiet Dance=s daughters look well placed to add more smart

winners to the family=s long list. Quiet Giant has a late-foaled

2-year-old filly by Tapit, plus a late-foaled 2017 brother to Gun

Runner. Miss Besilu also has a 2-year-old by Tapit and a yearling

colt by Candy Ride, while Dance Quietly has a 2-year-old and a

yearling by Medaglia d=Oro.

McLaughlin laughed, ANo. Luckily not, because she was properly

named--It=s Tricky. She was tricky and was known to misbehave

from time to time. He is a classy, classy colt that does everything

right. But we see some similarities in their abilities because she

was one of the best fillies that I ever trained. It=s nice to have a

Medaglia d=Oro out of her that is so classy and does everything

right and is talented.@

IN SHARPER FOCUS

MARYLAND TRIES AGAIN TO ENACT LAW TO

HIRE EQUINE MEDICAL DIRECTORby T.D. Thornton

For the second consecutive January, a bill has been filed in the

Maryland House of Delegates to empower the Maryland Racing

Commission (MRC) to hire an equine medical director.

If the measure passes, it would bring Maryland in line with

Kentucky and New York, the other two states that host Triple

Crown races, plus a number of other state racing jurisdictions

that employ an equine medical director as a commission staffer.

But with the exception of a changed effective date to July 1,

2018, the language of House Bill 421 is identical to the version of

the bill that was withdrawn Feb. 16, 2017, after having received

an unfavorable report by the Ways and Means Committee.

The Maryland Department of Legislative Services (DLS) has

been advocating for this hire since at least 2013, when it

authored a report that said AMRC could benefit from an Equine

Medical Director to ensure compliance with the recently

adopted stringent equine testing and drug policies. An Equine

Medical Director would provide MRC with an additional

resource to further enhance the safety and welfare of the

horses running races in Maryland.@

The proposed bill, which was introduced Jan. 24 by the same

two delegates that filed the 2017 version, would rewrite a

section of business regulation code to include Aequine medical

director@ within an existing list of the types of positions the

commission is authorized to hire.

Like last year=s attempt, the bill stipulates that Thoroughbred

track licensees, horsemen=s groups, and breeding organizations

would be responsible for paying 80% of the costs associated

with employing an equine medical director, while the same set

of entities representing Standardbred interests would pay the

remaining 20%.

PROMISING DEBUT FOR EPICALby Jessica Martini

Epical (Uncle Mo) brought the curtain down on a

record-setting weekend of racing with a gritty debut victory in

the final race of the day at Santa Anita Sunday. Going a mile on

the turf, the bay ridgling battled favored Concur (Curlin) on the

front end and put that foe away in deep stretch before bravely

holding off the late charge of Fibonacci (Artie Schiller) to win by

a neck.

The performance was no surprise to trainer Jim Cassidy.

AMy expectations were high,@ Cassidy said Monday. AThat=s

why I ran him at a mile the first time. We knew he wanted to

route and I thought he=d like the grass. I=m not going to say I was

cocky enough to say he would win, but I thought he would run

really well.@ Cont. p2

horse, so wherever he breaks, don=t mess with him. Just let him

over it quite as quickly as I had hoped. That was what took me

so long to get him ready.@

The bay trained forwardly towards Sunday=s debut, including a

five-furlong work in :59 4/5 (2/39) Jan. 21.

AHe was pretty straightforward most of the time and always

happy to do whatever he did,@ Cassidy said. AI=d worked him in

company. I worked him with a couple of nice horses and he held

his own.@

As for what is next, Cassidy said, AI just want to make sure he=s

ok for the next few days. He looked pretty tired this morning.@

While Epical=s next start is still to be determined, Cassidy

expects it will be on the turf.

BRADLEY WEISBORD JOINS WHOA Bradley Weisbord, founder of BSW Bloodstock and Elite Sales,

has announced he has joined the Water Hay Oats Alliance, a

grassroots organization formed to support federal legislation to

prohibit the use of performance-enhancing drugs in the sport of

horse racing.

The following is Weisbord=s statement in support of the

alliance:

BSW Bloodstock manages hundreds of horses for some of the

top owners on an international basis, as well as across the

country. BSW has run horses at 90% of the tracks in America and

has dealt with almost every racing jurisdiction, all of which have

their own rules and regulations on racing medication.

It is absurd.

Moreover, as someone who is very involved in the European

market and bringing horses to America from overseas, it is

evident that race-day medication is a hindrance to the breed.

It is my opinion that for racing to move forward, the entire

United States should be governed under one uniform medication

policy and that performance drugs should be abolished.

It is time for industry members to start thinking about the

future of horse racing on the whole. This is why I support WHOA.

TWO SEVEN-FIGURE LOTSANCHOR KARAKA DAY 2

by Heather Anderson

Day two of the NZB Karaka Yearling Sale Book 1 followed on

from Sunday=s opener as momentum continued to build during

the second day of trade. Two lots made seven figures by the

close of the session on Monday, a colt by Waikato Stud=s

Savabeel (Aus) went to David Ellis of Te Akau Racing for

NZ$1,025,000 (US$750,318/A$926,923/£533,177/€605,899

/¥81,740,940) and earlier in the day, a colt by Coolmore shuttler

Fastnet Rock (Aus) brought an even NZ$1 million on the bid of

Mark Pilkington Management/Lindsay Park Racing.

From a statistical perspective, 232 lots have grossed

NZ$38,307,500 from a catalogue of 320. The average is

NZ$165,119, while the median is NZ$120,000. The clearance

rate is an encouraging 77%, as local and international buyers

continue to make their presence felt during the reformatted

sale.

Topping the session, and the entire sale so far, was a

Cambridge Stud-consigned Savabeel colt (lot 301) out of New

Zealand champion 3-year-old Katie Lee (Aus) (Pins {Aus}). A two-

time Classic winner, Katie Lee is out of Group 3 winner Miss

Jessie Jay (NZ) (Spectacularphantom), herself a half-sister to

New Zealand champion sprinter/miler Gee I Jane (NZ) (Jahafil

{GB}).

BOWMAN SET TO APPEAL SUSPENSIONS Jockey Hugh Bowman, the regular pilot of superstar mareWinx (Aus) (Street Cry {Ire}), is set to appeal both careless ridingsuspensions he incurred on the weekend, racing.com reported.Bowman formally lodged an appeal with Racing NSW stewardson Monday and is going to do the same with New Zealandofficials on Tuesday in an effort to be aboard the Chris Wallertrainee when she resumes in the Feb. 17 G2 Apollo S. Bowman currently needs his suspensions reduced by five days.He earned the first infraction from his winning ride aboardTswalu (Aus) (Northern Meteor {Aus}) at Warwick Farm lastFriday, which would suspend him from Feb. 4-15. Those dateswere altered however, following his ride aboard Five ToMidnight (NZ) (Domesday {Aus}) at Ellerslie on Saturday and heis now slated to be suspended from Jan. 29-Feb. 10 for theWarwick Farm suspension. Bowman=s New Zealand suspensionwould then begin on Feb. 10- 21.

NZB Karaka Book 1 Day 2 Cont. from p1

AHe=s just one of those

colts I had to have--he=s a

beautiful example of

equine excellence,@ said

Ellis, who is well on his way

to being the sale=s leading

buyer by gross for the 13th

consecutive year. AI can see

him winning a Group 1 like

the Sires Produce and then

heading to Australia to win

a good 2-year-old race, but

our goal will be the 2000

Guineas at Riccarton.@

Ellis is currently leading the buyers= table, with 17 lots having

caught his eye to the tune of NZ$4,595,000. Another Savabeel

offering from Cambridge Stud--this time a filly (lot 290)--joined

the Te Akau fold for NZ$900,000, the most expensive filly of the

sale and the third highest lot of the day. Out of the winning Joy=s

Choice (NZ) (Redoute=s Choice {Aus}), who was third in a Group

2, the filly is the second foal of her dam. Joy=s Choice is a half-

sister to MGSW and G1 New Zealand 1000 Guineas bridesmaid

La Sizeranne (NZ) (Stravinsky), while G1 Australian Derby hero

Tavago (NZ) (Tavistock

{NZ}) also sits under the

second dam, the GSP Tricia

Ann (NZ) (Zabeel {NZ}).

Among the other

purchases bought to bear

the tangerine and blue and

the third in the top 10 lots

on Tuesday, was a Haunui

Farm-consigned Snitzel

(Aus) colt (lot 215). Ellis

shelled out NZ$625,000 for

the son of the Arrowfield-

based champion sire out of

MGSW Floria (NZ)

(Savabeel {Aus}). The August-foaled bay is the first foal of his

dam, whose biggest day in the sun was a third in the

G1 Tattersalls Tiara. Cont. p3

NZB Karaka Book 1 Day 2 Cont.

AHe had the right pedigree, the right physique, and so all the

credentials to be a good horse,@ said Pilkington. AHe certainly

had the price tag, so hopefully he is a good horse. It made good

sense, as the colt is out of a gun mare. He=s in keeping with the

same sort of horse as Merchant Navy (Aus) (Fastnet Rock {Aus}).

We recently negotiated the sale of him [the G1 Coolmore Stud S.

victor] to Coolmore for A$27 million, so it would be nice if this

colt was going well enough to head down the same path. The

Lindsay Park guys [co-trainers David Hayes, his son Ben and

nephew Tom Dabernig] have had a lot of luck here. They got

[GSW & G1SP] Tulip (Aus) (Pierro {Aus}), who has been a great

filly, then [undefeated listed winner] Long Leaf (Aus) (Fastnet

Rock {Aus}), who won the other day.@

The pedigree continues to improve, as Diademe=s full-brother

Embellish (NZ) (Savabeel {Aus}), a NZ$775,000 Karaka Premier

graduate of 2016 who races for Te Akau Racing, captured the G1

New Zealand 2000 Guineas earlier this season and narrowly ran

second in the Listed Karaka 3YO Classic on Saturday at Ellerslie.

Embellish is bound for stud duty at Cambridge Stud when he retires.

Added Pilkington of the redesigned sale format, AI think the

new concept has worked well, Everybody gets a chance to look

at the horses and make up their own mind.@

Tavistock popularity continues...

Sir Patrick and Lady Justine Hogan=s Cambridge Stud offered

three of the top four lots on Tuesday, with a bay filly by their

resident sire Tavistock (NZ) out of Listed Lightning H. victress

Diamond Like (Aus) (Danehill) attracting the attention of Peter

Moody. The trainer of Black Caviar (Aus) (Bel Esprit {Aus})

stretched to NZ$750,000 to acquire lot 159.

AShe=s a lovely filly from a family that speaks for itself,@ said

Moody. AShe=s one of those magical fillies that has a page to

match. We=re looking to put a few nice fillies together, my wife

and a few clients, that we can race back in Australia. She will

stay here and get broken-in--like we traditionally do with our

New Zealand fillies--we=ve always had good success doing it.

Then she=ll head to Australia come October or November.@

Already the dam of GSW & MG1SP Forever Loved (NZ) (High

Chaparral {Ire}), Group 3 winner Zephyron (NZ) (Zabeel {NZ}),

G1SP Zenella (NZ) (Zabeel {NZ}) and SP Ardeche (NZ) (Dehere),

this was Diamond Like=s eighth foal. Her dam is high-class

MG1SW Tristalove (NZ) (Sir Tristram {Ire}), who also left G1SW

Viking Ruler (Aus) (Danehill) and GSW & MG1SP Kempinsky

(Aus) (Danehill).

Lot 108 | Trish Dunell

NZB Karaka Book 1 Day 2 Cont.

During Sunday=s opening session, a pair of Cambridge-

consigned Tavistock foals were popular from this family: a filly

(lot 10) out of Zenella brought NZ$420,000 on the bid of Bruce

Perry Bloodstock, while lot 35, a colt, went to Dean Hawthorne

Bloodstock for NZ$300,000.

Nicoll looking for more Fastnet success... Only 15 lots removed from Moody=s purchase, Adrian Nicoll,

who had selected the aforementioned Long Leaf (Aus) (Fastnet

Rock {Aus}) at last year=s Premier Sale for NZ$750,000, was the

winning bidder at NZ$725,000 for lot 172, a filly by the same sire

and offered by Hallmark Stud. Out of the unraced Dragon=s Tail

(Aus) (Galileo {Ire}), she is a full-sister to Te Akau=s 2018 G1

Levin Classic victor and G1 New Zealand 2000 Guineas runner-

up Age of Fire (Aus) (Fastnet Rock {NZ}.

AShe=s a beautiful filly--the best individual I saw here,@ said

Nicoll of BBA Ireland, who was acting for an international

syndicate. AI thought she might go for more than $600,000 and

less than $800,000, so I was happy to go to $725,000 for her.

Being a full-sister to a Group 1 winner, it just became a no-

brainer. She=ll be going to Gai Waterhouse and Adrian Bott.

We=ve put a partnership together, which includes the Niarchos

family. It=s a similar group to the one we put together for a

Frankel (GB) colt we bought a couple of years ago.@

Mulcaster busy on Tuesday...

Karaka=s Tuesday session did not take long to heat up, as

bloodstock agent Guy Mulcaster, acting for Kaha Syndicate and

Mulcaster Bloodstock, struck for a striking bay son of Savabeel

(NZ) (lot 108) just seven lots in. Offered by Waikato Stud, who

stand the New Zealand champion sire, the September foal is the

seventh from his unraced dam Chilled Out (NZ) (Anabaa). She

is out of the listed winner Icy Calm (NZ) (Western Symphony),

who also produced Listed Red Roses S. heroine and MG1SP The

Big Chill (NZ) (O=Reilly {NZ}) and the winning Forty Two Below

(NZ) (O=Reilly {NZ}). The last named is responsible for three-time

group heroine Coldplay (NZ) (Savabeel {Aus}).

AWe have a sister to this colt [Randwick scorer Savacool (NZ), a

NZ$220,000 2016 NZBPRE purchase] and she has won her last

two starts in Sydney, which has been very promising,@ said

Mulcaster, who has selected Horse of the Year and three-time

G1 Cox Plate heroine Winx (Aus) (Street Cry {Ire}) among others.

AWe thought he was a lovely colt which is what we came to try

and buy. We are very happy with the horses we have bought

from Waikato before. We will leave him here for about eight

months and let him go through the system before he heads up

to Melbourne for a small preparation. He will then go to the

Sydney stable.@

Mulcaster was back in action for the very next lot, spending

NZ$220,000 for a son of Ocean Park (NZ) (lot 109) from the

Waikato Stud consignment. Out of Chorus (NZ) (Danasinga

{Aus}), the foal is a half to three winners, among them the listed-

placed Tralee Chorus (NZ) (O=Reilly {NZ}).

He also outlaid NZ$300,000 for a bay filly (lot 285) by Savabeel

(Aus) out of Jacilo (NZ) (Entrepreneur {GB}), a Waikato consignee

and half-sister to G1SW Miss Keepsake (NZ) (Keeper {Aus}); and

NZ$100,000 for a son (lot 186) of Charm Spirit (Ire)--Enjuja (Aus)

offered by Westbury Stud. The Charm Spirit colt is out of a half-

sister to MGSW Cajarian (Sharastani) and the dam of G1 Nunthorpe

S. heroine Margot Did (Ire) (Exceed And Excel {Aus}). Cont. p6

Mulcaster reflected, AWe had Scream Park (NZ) (Ocean Park

{NZ}) run in the Karaka Millions 3YO Classic on Saturday and he

ran an acceptable race [10th]. He probably felt the ground a

little bit. For the owners to come and have an enjoyable time,

they really loved it. We will be looking to bring another horse

again next year. We have some Ocean Parks and we=re happy

with them--it makes sense to keep sticking to what you know.@
