Since American breeders turned away from foreign-raced turf sires in the early 1990s after the contraction of the industry caused by the recession of the late 1980s, it has become routine to refer to some pedigrees as “dirt pedigrees” and others as “turf pedigrees.” As a veteran of the era when those same European turf stars routinely sired American dirt champions, I have never been very comfortable with such blithe dichotomies, and there could hardly be a better illustration of the reason why than the results of the two biggest races of the weekend.
Mind Your Biscuits’s victory in Saturday’s Group 1 Dubai Golden Shaheen will be remembered for his heart-stopping stretch drive, but will also be noted as the race that made him the highest-earning New York-bred of all time.
The win increased Mind Your Biscuits’s lifetime earnings to $3,719,286, surpassing the record of $3,529,412 held by champion Funny Cide, who kept the title for more than a decade.
Born Gold, the dam of champion Goldikova and five other group stakes winners, has died at age 27. Pierre-Yves Bureau, who manages the racing and breeding interests of the Blushing Groom mare's owner-breeders, the Wertheimer brothers, reported the mare's death via Twitter.
Stellar Wind, the champion 3-year-old filly of 2015, has been exported to Ireland, where she will be bred to world-class sire Galileo during this year’s breeding season.
The news was initially reported Monday by the BloodHorse.
The upcoming Temecula Valley National Horse Show series in California will offer free entries for Thoroughbreds and young horses and will partner with Oakmont Ranch to offer classes for off-the-track Thoroughbreds at the shows.
Valid won two graded stakes at Gulfstream Park, and he returned there Saturday as Gulfstream recognized local aftercare efforts with Florida Thoroughbred Retirement and Adoptive Care Day. Florida TRAC rehabilitates and finds new owners and careers for retired racehorses.
Multiple graded stakes-winning New York-bred millionaire Lubash has arrived at Old Friends in Georgetown, Ky., where he will reside as a retiree.
The 11-year-old son of perennial New York leading sire Freud was retired last summer by owner and breeder Leonard Pivnick.
“He’s been absolutely great to all of us involved,” trainer Christophe Clement said at the time of the gelding’s retirement. Clement had handled Lubash since 2012.
Something tells me that WinStar Farm will be exercising its option to buy back Take Charge Indy. The son of A.P. Indy was sold to South Korea in 2016 on an offer described as “too good to turn down,” but the sale announcement noted that the deal included an option to buy back Take Charge Indy “in the future.”
