A win in one of two contested maidens at BrightonApr. 29 and a second-place finish in the Listed SireniaS. at Kempton Sept. 8, proved to be the ideal springboard for Seazun to record the biggest win of her career to date as she just got the better of the more experienced Torgau after a protracted duel throughout thefinal furlong. There was a minor sensation before therace as the fancied Warrior Queen (Quiet American)was withdrawn at the start based on the advice of the

track veterinarian. As the race got under way, the fieldsplit into two groups, the far side headed by Bethesda(GB) (Distant Relative {Ire}) and the hard-pulling VitaSpericolata (Ire) (Prince Sabo (GB)) and the near sidetowed along by Torgau. As the field passed halfway,Torgau held the overall advantage and, with a quarter-of-a-mile to go, it became evident that the finish wouldbe between Torgau, Seazun and Crimplene. Torgau wasjoined by Seazun at the distance and it was only in thelast half furlong that Seazun inched ahead. MoonDriver, a huge pre-race gamble, was in rear throughoutand was only put into the race when it was too late. Arelieved Mick Channon enthused, "Everything has beenplanned around coming here, win or lose, and we havebeen fortunate enough to go and win it. The first twoare good and the form is solid. The best thing aboutSeazun is her temperament, she is bomb proof. Raceslike the (G1 1000) Guineas will be on the agenda nextseason."

SAHM RETIRED Sahm (Mr. Prospector-Salsabil(Ire), by Sadler's Wells), a five-year-old gradedstakes winner, has been retired from racing and willbegin stud duties next year at Shadwell Farm inLexington, Kentucky. Of his former charge, trainerKiaran McLaughlin commented, "He is a great-lookingcolt. He had some suspensory problems last year andthey continued to aggravate him all summer."

Daryaba Superb in Final Workout:Owner His Highness the Aga Khan and trainer Alain

de Royer-Dupre supervised their star filly Daryaba (Ire)(Night Shift) in her last serious piece of work before thebig race, at Chantilly's Les Aigles grass course yesterday morning. Gerald Mosse was in the irons. Winner ofthe June 13 G1 Prix de Diane Hermes at Chantilly andthe Sept. 12 G1 Prix Vermeille at Longchamp, shecovered nine furlongs with three lead horses and delighted connections with a superb display. She finishedupsides one of her stablemates, as the pair drew clearand she had plenty in hand at the end of the exercise.An impressed Mosse said: "I was in second gear all theway. I will keep fourth and fifth gears for Sunday asthat is when it really matters. She looks to be in tremendous form."

Collet Hopeful for Cerulean Sky:The three-year-old filly Cerulean Sky (Ire) (Darshaan

{GB}), winner of this season's G1 Prix Saint-Alary atLongchamp May 23 and third to Daryaba in the G1 PrixVermeille last time out, also worked yesterday morningover Chantilly's Les Aigles grass course. With SylvainGuillot in the plate, she covered approximately 10 furlongs with three stable companions and satisfied bothtrainer and jockey by finishing a comfortable fourlengths clear of her workmates.

Nowhere to Exit Still on Target:Nowhere To Exit (GB) (Exit To Nowhere), trained by

John Dunlop for Chelsea Football Club director GaryPinchen, is still possible for the race as the groundconditions remain in his favor. With the going currentlydescribed as good to soft and further rainfall forecastuntil the end of the week. Nowhere To Exit will find thetrack condition very much to his liking. The winner ofthe G3 Prix la Force at Longchamp May 20, was anexcellent second to current race favorite Montjeu (Ire)(Sadler's Wells) in the G1 Prix du Jockey Club atChantilly June 6, but was slightly disappointing whenfifth in the Listed March S. at Goodwood Aug. 28, inhis latest start. He has a legitimate excuse for his thateffort as it was run on unsuitably fast ground.

WRITERS UP

AT THE SALES ••• with Bill OppenheimIn 1994, Tattersalis' flagship Houghton Sale saw

280 yearlings gross just over 17 million guineas ($29million, at current exchange rates), and average60,893 guineas ($104,867), with a median of36,000 guineas ($61,992). As we all know, themarket has surged big-time since then, but even so,the Houghton has followed the international selectpattern of fewer being sold (207 last year, though itshould be higher this time). In 1996, 213 listed salesaveraged 122,427 guineas ($210,819 at today'srates)~more than double the '94 average. After a blipin 1997, when the number sold went back up to 302and the average dipped, the average surged to171,357 ($295,076) guineas last year, while themedian continued its relentless climb and hit the

100,000 level ($172,200). So the average and median nearly tripled in five years and the gross haddoubled.

In that context, trade at last night's opening session had to be considered satisfactory. Short sessions can often produce inconclusive results, andwe'll surely have a clearer picture today, but, compared to last year's opening session, the number soldand gross were up around 10 percent. The averagewas off four percent, but the median jumped another20 percent, to 120,000 guineas ($206,640), whichcertainly heartened the House. Three yearlings-successive fillies by Diesis (GB) and Gone West andthe session-topping colt by Sadler's Wells, made overa million dollars.

Sheikh Mohammed and John Ferguson combinedto buy six yearlings, all between 180,000-250,000guineas ($309,960-$430,500), and they averaged216,667 guineas ($373,100). Shadwell added three,which averaged 230,000 guineas ($396,060). As inKeeneland Book 1, the brothers accounted for around20 percent of the night's gross-but in Kentucky,their Book 1 average was more like $600,000. Thefeeling is that there isn't the strength in depth herethat there is in that vast American market, and so,

last night anyway, there wasn't really the sustainedopposition to the Maktoums which would doubtlesshave driven prices higher. The other big players justbought one (Thoroughbred Corp.) or two (Demi,Wafic Said), while agents like Rudiger Alles of German International (including the 600,000-guineasDiesis filly), Peter Doyle, Brian Grassick, theKern/Lillingston partnership of Lincoln Collins andLuke Lillingston, and trainers like Gerard Butler wereable to each buy two or more six-figure yearlings.

Short first-year sire update: the 1992 Epsom Derbywinner Dr Devious (Ire), now repatriated from Japan,had one for 220,000 guineas ($378,840); the ubiquitous Hennessy, two more averaged 165,000 guineas($284,130); two nice individuals by Diesis' son,five-time Group 1 winner Hailing, averaged 100,000guineas ($172,200); one by the crack milerAshkalani (Ire), whose stock sold well at Deauville,brought 60,000 guineas ($103,320); and two by the1995 Irish 2000 Guineas winner Spectrum (Ire),averaged a disappointing 31,000 guineas ($53,382).More chances for everybody today...

WEEKEND PEDIGREE

PERSPECTIVESby Alan Porter

VOSBURGH S.-GI, $250,000, BEL, 9-25, 3yo/up, 7f,1:21 3/5, ft.1-ARTAX, 126, c, 4, by Marquetry

1st Dam: Raging Apalachee, by Apalachee2nd Dam: Pagers Charisma, by Dr. Pager3rd Dam: Charisma Magic, by Power Ruler

($82,000 wing *95 FTKNOV). 0-Paraneck Stable;B-Vinery & Carondelet Farm (KY); T-L Albertrani; J-JChavez; $150,000. Lifetime Record: 23-5-9-3, $911,840.A classics contender last year after victories in the

Gil San Felipe S. and Gil Santa Catalina S., Artax hasbenefited from changes of location and distance thisyear. Moved to New York and the care of LouisAlbertrani after his previous trainer Randy Bradshawtook over D. Wayne Lukas' California division, Artaxhas also benefited from being campaigned as asprinter. His pacesetting victory in the Gl VosburghS. was his second outstanding performance overseven furlongs this year, following a win in the GlCarter H. in which his time of 1:20 eclipsed Dr.Fager's 21-year-old Aqueduct track record.

Artax is a member of the first crop of the Conquistador Cielo stallion Marquetry. Marquetry did equal acourse record for about 6 1/2 furlongs on turf atSanta Anita, but he was at his best at middle distances, as demonstrated by wins in the 10 furlong GlHollywood Gold Cup, and at nine furlongs in the GlMeadowlands Cup and Gl Eddie Read H.

Perhaps some of the credit for Artax's speed comes from his female line. His granddam Fager's Charisma is a daughter of Dr. Fager, one of the fastesthorses ever to race in North America. His dam RagingApalachee is by Apalachee, who stayed a mile wellenough to score a hugely impressive victory in whatwas then England's principal juvenile staying contest,the Gl Observer Gold Cup, but often sired speed,particularly in daughters such as Apalachee Honey,Pine Tree Lane (herself winner of the Carter H.),Lazer Show, Clocks Secret and Miss Indy Anna.Apalachee is beginning to make a mark as abroodmare sire, and in addition to Artax, his daughters have produced four other stakes winners by Mr.Prospector-line stallions, graded scorers ZealousConnection and Amarillo among them.

We don't know if this pedigree would have conveyed speed to Raging Apalachee. A $2,300 purchase at the California Thoroughbred Sales Company's April mixed sale, she never reached the racecourse. Since then. Raging Apalachee's own valueand the standing of the family have increasedconsiderably. In fact, the female line has producedanother 1999 Grade I winner in the shape of the Gl

Del Mar Oaks victress Tout Charmant, whose damCharm A Gendarme (a Grade III winner) is out of ahalf sister to Raging Apalachee. As for RagingApalachee herself, she was sold for $290,000 in foalto Siphon at the 1998 Keeneland November Sales.Earlier in the year her Mi Cielo filly, a three-quarterssister to Artax, was knocked down for $190,000 atthe Keeneland September Sales.

From a pedigree pattern viewpoint, the most noticeable factor is that Marquetry's sire Conquistador Cielois bred on a Native Dancer (Polynesian)/Bold Rulercross, while Power Ruler, sire of the third dam of Artax,is by Bold Ruler out of a Polynesian mare. This makesconsiderable sense when one recalls that ToutCharmant goes back in tail-male line to Boldnesian, whois also by Bold Ruler out of a Polynesian mare, andtherefore has the three-parts related Boldnesian andPower Ruler 4x5. Power Ruler is another speed source-he scored his only stakes victory in the five-furlongHyde Park S., and it is no surprise that the combinationof Bold Ruler and Polynesian should produce pace. Bothwere champion sprinters, and both have pedigree similarities as Bold Ruler combines Pharos and Pompey, andPolynesian's pedigree contains Sickle (a close relative toPharos) and Pompey. This concentrates a considerableamount of the brilliant English sprinter Sundridge withSainfoin, a full brother to the dam of Sundridge, andthis is a formula which often generates speed.

PEDIGREE SHORTS

Having already shown brilliance as sire, and greatpromise as a sire of sires. Storm Cat is demonstratingpotential as a broodmare sire. His daughters have already produced European Champion two-year-oldMujahid and Japanese classic winner Phalaenopsis, andover the weekend the pair were joined by Black Tuxedo(c, 3, Sunday Silence- O. P. Cat, by Storm Cat), winnerof the G2 R. F. Radio Nippon Sho St. Lite Kinen inJapan. Black Tuxedo is yet another Sunday Silence outof a Northern Dancer-line mare and therefore linebred toAlmahmoud.

Teggiano (f, 2, Mujtahid-Tegwen, by Nijinsky II)placed herself at the forefront of the English juvenileifillies with a courageous victory in the Gl Meon ValleyStud Fillies' Mile at Ascot. Teggiano's sire Mujtahid is ason of Woodman, who has crossed very well withmares by Nijinsky, the cross producing seven stakeswinners including the group one scorer Way of Light.One would suspect that this is because Woodman isout of a mare by Buckpasser (by Tom Fool) and NijinskyII is out of Tom Fool's genetic relative. Flaming Page.Teggiano actually has a double of Buckpasser, and infact both her grandsire Woodman and her granddamBeautiful Aly are bred on Raise a Native/Buckpassercrosses. Of particular interest is that the Raise a Nativestrains come through Mr. Prospector and the similarlybred Alydar, and we suspect that the this pair are goingto be seen together with increasing frequency in thepedigrees of stakes winners.
