Siblings and Dams of Friday BC Runners Entered at KEENOV

Nine more supplements have been added to the Keeneland November Sale's Horses of Racing Age portion. The sale begins Wednesday, Nov. 10 with HRA offerings selling on the final day, Nov. 19. Keeneland will continue to accept Book 1 supplements until the auction begins and will accept HRA supplements through mid-November. The latest round of supplements, which include a half-sister to Friday's GI Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf contender Bubble Rock (More Than Ready), are as follo   There's no pedigree update quite like a Breeders' Cup update, and Friday's Stars of Tomorrow card has the potential to provide such a boost to a number of entrants in the upcoming Keeneland November sale. The following is a list of dams and weanling siblings of Friday's Breeders' Cup entrants who will be on offer KEENOV.

Hip 224 – Eight-year-old mare Secret Garden (Per) (Flanders Fields) annexed the 2016 G1 Polla de Potrancas in her native country, but RNA'd for $80,000 at the 2018 Fasig-Tipton Winter Mixed Sale. She subsequently visited Nyquist that season, and the resulting filly, bred by Clearsky Farm, eventually sold to West Point Thoroughbreds and trainer Dallas Stewart for $100,000 as a KEESEP yearling.

Now named Sequist (Nyquist), the dark bay won on debut at Colonial Downs in July before finishing fourth in the GI Spinaway S. and rallying for third from far back in Keeneland's GI Darley Alcibiades S. Oct. 8. The confirmed closer will have to have her running shoes on against a few formidable foes in the GI Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies, but she figures to be finishing late.

Secret Garden, who was supplemented to the November catalog, has a Cairo Prince filly foal and will be offered in foal to in-demand Munnings, whose stud fee was more than doubled for 2022. She hails from the extended female family of Bernardini, et al.

Secret Garden is consigned by Taylor Made Sales Agency, Agent CLXX.

Hip 235 – This May 10 foal, already named Mad Dash (Candy Ride {Arg}), is a half to Stolen Base (Bodemeister), who flew home from very far back to finish a close second in Keeneland's GII Castle & Key Bourbon S. Stolen Base will be aiming to provide trainer Mike Maker with back-to-back GI Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf trophies. Stolen Base was a $45,000 OBSAPR grad.

Consigned by Lane's End, hip 235 was bred by Peter Blum Thoroughbreds and W.S. Farish on what appears to be a foal share. A full-sister to the colt brought $50,000 at this year's Keeneland September sale.

Mad Dash and Stolen Base are grandsons of GSW Race Artist (Mr. Prospector), dam of MSW/MGSP Cherokee Artist (Cherokee Run) and SW/GSP Cherokee Girl (Cherokee Run), as well as the dam of a couple of other stakes horses.

Hip 251 – This Mar. 28 foal by Hard Spun is a half-brother to 'TDN Rising Star' Haughty (Empire Maker), who will bid to increase trainer Chad Brown's record winning tally in the GI Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf to six. DQ'd from a clear-cut first-out win at Belmont Sept. 17, Haughty was unable to draw in off the also-eligible list for Keeneland's GII JPMorgan Jessamine S., but confirmed her debut outing was no fluke with an easy victory in Lexington Oct. 17. She just narrowly got into the JFT, but the $70,000 KEESEP RNA and $310,000 OBSAPR grad figures to be on plenty of tickets.

Dam Soaring Emotions (Kingmambo) is already responsible for precocious MSW/MGSP Souper Colossal (War Front), and was carrying hip 251 when she sold for $57,000 at last year's November sale. Hidden Brook signed the ticket and John Gardiner is listed as the colt's breeder.

Hip 578 – Bred in Virginia by consignor Morgan's Ford Farm, this Kantharos colt is a half to GI TVG Breeders' Cup Juvenile presented by Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance longshot Oviatt Class (Bernardini). A $60,000 KEESEP acquisition himself, Oviatt Class broke through by 4 1/4 lengths over the Del Mar surface Aug. 27 and most recently went last to third in the Oct. 1 GI American Pharoah S. The colts' dam was produced by a half-sister to GSW Tizahit (Tiznow), who in turn was responsible for GISW Come Dancing (Malibu Moon). Her yearling colt by Malibu Moon was puchased for $90,000 at Fasig-Tipton July by Country Life Farm after selling for $62,000 here 12 months ago

Hips 650 & 651Selima S. winner Consumer Spending (More Than Ready) will join aforementioned stablemate Haughty in the Juvenile Fillies Turf starting gate, where she has the potential to provide updates for back-to-back KEENOV entries. The $200,000 FTKSEL yearling's dam Siempre Mia (Scat Daddy) sells as hip 650, while Consumer Spending's full sister sells as hip 651–both with Eaton Sales.

Reiley McDonald's Eaton acted on behalf of Gail and the late James Peyton's Forging Oaks Farm to secure Ellis allowance winner Siempre Mia while she was carrying a first foal by Malibu Moon at the 2017 Keeneland November sale. The daughter of MGSW Shaconage (El Prado {Ire}) had a $120,000 Empire Maker colt sell to Donato Lanni this Keeneland September, and is offered back in foal to Triple Crown winner American Pharoah.

Hip 1707 – Nick Drion Thoroughbreds offers this Upstart half-brother to Prairie Gold Juvenile and Sapling S. runner-up and GI Claiborne Breeders' Futurity fourth American Sanctuary (American Freedom), who will look to pull a Storm the Court-type upset in the Juvenile. Bred by Ben and Beck Henley and Sebastien Murat, the Apr. 22 foal is out of now 16-year-old MSP mare Haven's Honey (E Dubai). This is the family of last year's GII San Pasqual S. winner Midcourt (Midnight Lute).

Hip 1801 – Taylor Made Sales Agency consigns this filly from the first crop of GISW Audible (Into Mischief). Former Breeders' Cup chairman Fred W. Hertrich III bred the half-sister to GI Darley Alcibiades S. heroine Juju's Map (Liam's Map), one of the prime contenders for the GI Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies. Hetrich acquired the maiden mare Nagambie (Flatter) for just $14,000 at FTKFEB '16. Her first foal by Gemologist was a minor two-time winner, but her Juju's Map was her second foal. Nagambie's half-sister Fault (Blame) annexed the 2018 GI Santa Margarita S. as part of a three-race graded win streak, and Juju's Map sold for $190,000 as a KEEJAN short yearling and then $300,000 that September.

Hip 3427 – The GII Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf Sprint could have implications back in Book 5 for Party Smart (Smart Strike), who is the dam of Peter Miller-trained Speakeasy S. runner-up Time to Party (Kantharos). The partnership of Gainesway and Bridlewood acquired Party Smart for $35,000 here three years ago with Time to Party in utero and with an eye towards breeding the unraced George Strawbridge, Jr. product back to their young stallion Tapwrit. They sold Time to Party for $12,000 a year later and he subsequently brought $72,000 at OBSWIN before RNA'ing for $45,000 this OBS March. Party Smart, meanwhile, who is a half to GSWs Lucky Lindy (Harlan's Holiday) and Occasional View (Silver Deputy), produced a Tapwrit filly in 2020 and is offered back in foal to the 2017 GI Belmont S. hero.

Ardad Boosted to £12,500 For 2022

Ardad (Ire) (Kodiac {GB}), who is one of the leading European-based first-season sires, will stand for an increased fee of £12,500 SLF at Overbury Stud in 2022.

Already the sire of G1 Middle Park S., G1 Prix Morny, and G2 Norfolk S. winner Perfect Power (Ire), the bay's 2021 fee was £4,000. Other high class runners for Ardad are G3 Sirenia S. heroine Eve Lodge (GB), who is one of 21 winners by the 7-year-old, and G2 Coventry S. third Vintage Clarets (GB). Ardad also had 12 winners prior to Royal Ascot, a record for a British freshman sire. This year he bred 156 mares, and at the 2021 yearling sales, he boasts a 100% clearance rate for 30 sold from 30 offered. They averaged £56,000 and his highest price was 190,000gns.

Simon Sweeting, Overbury Stud Manager, said, “Ardad is proving to be a most unusual stallion, fully capable of passing on not only his powerful good looks and movement but also his laid back and charming temperament. He's already proved himself to be a notable source of Royal Ascot 2-year-olds and sales stock, and we're really looking forward to seeing what the future brings. His stud career could certainly scarcely have started any better.”

Notable US-Bred Runners in Japan: Nov. 7. 2021

In this continuing series, we take a look ahead at US-bred and/or conceived runners entered for the upcoming weekend at the tracks on the Japan Racing Association circuit, with a focus on pedigree and/or performance in the sales ring. Here are the horses of interest for this Sunday running at Hanshin and Tokyo Racecourses, featuring the much-anticipated debut of one of this year's breeze-up sales toppers:

Sunday, November 7, 2021
2nd-TOK, ¥9,680,000 ($85k), Maiden, 2yo, 1400mT
WALKER TESORO (f, 2, Speightstown–January Jones {Brz}, by Shirocco {Ger}) is the second foal from her Brazilian Group 1-winning dam, who was acquired privately by these breeders and mated to a sire with which they have experienced much success. Walker Tesoro returns to the course and distance of her Oct. 17 career debut, a solid runner-up effort from a high draw that should have her sitting on a win (see below, SC 16). Speightstown, the sire of 33 winners from 41 to race in Japan, has accounted for the owner's Rieno Tesoro, a stakes winner on dirt and Group 1-placed going a mile on turf against males. B-Mr & Mrs Kenji Ryotokuji (KY)

 

4th-HSN, ¥13,400,000 ($118k), Newcomers, 2yo, 1200m
CLOS DE MESNIL (f, 2, Practical Joke–Valiant Emilia {Per}, by Pegasus Wind) was bought back for $65K as a Keeneland November weanling in 2019, but improved into a $120K KEESEP yearling and attracted a sales-topping bid of $750K from trainer Hideyuki Mori at this year's OBS March Sale after breezing an eighth of a mile in the bullet time of :9 4/5. The Mar. 18 foal was the most expensive of the eight juveniles Mori signed for at OBSMAR. Each of the remaining seven horses has already started, led by Dugat (Practical Joke), a $190K purchase who broke his maiden for this filly's owner Susumu Fujita by four lengths at Hanshin Oct. 16. Clos de Mesnil's third dam produced Peruvian GSW/G1SP Thundering Emilia (Thunder Gulch), whose son Helium (Ironicus) upset this year's GII Tampa Bay Derby, and she is also the dam of Peruvian G1SW Emilia's Moon (Malibu Moon).
