Whatever Ogden Phipps paid for the top-class Argentine mare Dorine, by Aristophanes, when he purchased her privately and imported her in 1970, she proved a bargain many times over. Her first American foal, the Bold Ruler colt Our Hero, set a track record in the Atlantic City Handicap and won the Garrison Handicap as well, but it was her winning daughter, Grecian Banner, by Hoist the Flag, who made Dorine look cheap at any price.

As the racing calendar rolls into the showcase meet at Saratoga Race Course, there is perhaps no more lucrative time to have a New York-bred on the track.

Even the rare New York-bred claiming races in the condition book feature purses between $40,000 and $45,000.

Early in the 21st century, Juddmonte Farms and Coolmore Stud formulated an agreement whereby Juddmonte bred about 10 mares to Sadler’s Wells each year and the two organizations divided the subsequent produce. The idea provided obvious benefits for each operation. Juddmonte acquired broad access to the best sire in Europe, and Coolmore acquired some of the produce of some of Juddmonte’s best mares. After Sadler’s Wells’ retirement, the arrangement continued with his successor at Coolmore, his great son, Galileo.

Grade 1 winner Shakin It Up has been retired by owners Mike Pegram and Dennis Cardoza and will stand the 2015 breeding season at B. Wayne Hughes’s Spendthrift Farm in Lexington, Ky. The 4-year-old son of Midnight Lute will stand for a $10,000 fee, payable when the foal stands and nurses.
