Cline To Join Fasig-Tipton Inspection Team For 2021

Mike Cline, an industry veteran for more than four decades, will join the Fasig-Tipton yearling inspection team this spring for the company's 2021 selected yearlings sales.

Cline recently retired from his long-time role as farm manager of famed Lane's End Farm. Hired in 1979 at Lane's End inception, he was the only farm manager in Lane's End's history until his retirement this past summer.

Working closely with the Farish family, Cline oversaw the rise of Lane's End to its prominent position today as one of the world's leading stud farms. His tenure saw the development of breed shaping stallions like A.P. Indy, Kingmambo, and Smart Strike, as well as current leading sires Candy Ride, Curlin, Lemon Drop Kid, Mineshaft, Union Rags, and Quality Road.

In the sales arena, Cline was intricately involved with the selection and growth of Lane's End yearling consignments, which are perennially ranked at the top of the North American consignor ranks.

“The Thoroughbred industry has great confidence in the Fasig-Tipton process for our selected sales,” said Fasig-Tipton president Boyd Browning. “We are thrilled to add an exceptional and respected horseman like Mike Cline to our inspection team. He will bring vast experience and an outstanding eye for quality horses.”

Fans Welcomed For Daring Tact Bid

Sunday’s G1 Shuka Sho will mark the first time since February that limited fans will be permitted to attend a Group 1 race in Japan, and it is fitting that it coincides with a fillies’ Triple Crown bid by Daring Tact (Jpn) (Epiphaneia {Jpn}). Daring Tact is unbeaten in four runs including the G1 Oka Sho (Japanese 1000 Guineas) over a mile and the G1 Yushun Himba (Japanese Oaks) at 2400 metres. There is little that appears to be causing fear for connections-she recorded the fastest-ever final three furlongs in the Oka Sho, indicating that a drop back in trip to 2000 metres here shouldn’t pose a problem. While fillies typically prepare for this race with a sharpener off a summer break, trainer Haruki Sugiyama said it is by design that Daring Tact is going straight to the Shuka Sho from the Yushun Himba.

Among those looking to thwart Daring Tact’s bid for history is Ria Amelia (Jpn) (Deep Impact {Jpn}), Silk Racing’s daughter of the American champion 2-year-old filly Ria Antonia (Rockport Harbor). Ria Amelia was herself a Group 3 winner at two and though she faltered when 10th over the yielding ground in the Oka Sho, she was a good fourth after a slow break in the Yushun Himba and put in a seamless prep when winning the G2 Sho Rose S. over this trip at Chukyo on Sept. 20. This will be her first time running at Kyoto but she broke her maiden at Hanshin, also a right-turning track.

The Yushun Himba second and third Win Marilyn (Jpn) (Screen Hero {Jpn}) and Win Mighty (Jpn) (Gold Ship {Jpn}) are back to re-oppose, as is Maltese Diosa (Jpn) (Kizuna {Jpn}), who was unplaced in both prior Classics but won a key prep for this, the G3 Shion S., over 2000 metres at Nakayama on Sept. 12.
