Simon: Coolmore skilled at turning risk into reward

A number of championships were decided at the Breeders’ Cup on Oct. 30-31, with fortunes made and dreams dashed through the 13 races. The biggest winner of all may well have been Ashford Stud, home now to Triple Crown hero American Pharoah – who blitzed the Classic field and solidified his status as one of the best racehorses seen in decades. With that came validation of a high stud fee for the son of Pioneerof the Nile when he covers mares for the first time in 2016 at the Versailles, Ky., farm.

Hovdey: Veteran used horses, black marble to heal

Walter “Jack” Frazier is a U.S. Navy veteran who spent the better part of four years in Vietnam in the late 1960s. His unit’s designation was “search and rescue,” which was every bit as grim as it sounds. He is a retired high school history teacher now and has been known to sing a few classic tunes at local watering holes, free of charge. Frazier is also a former jockey, an exercise rider to the stars, a trainer, an owner, and a breeder of Thoroughbreds, some of which have been known to win a race now and then. He had his greatest success riding Quarter Horses, but it was the Thoroughbreds he climbed aboard for Wayne Lukas back in the 1980s that have left him with stories to tell his grandchildren.
