Alcibiades Winner Juju’s Map to KEENOV

Grade I winner Juju's Map (Liam's Map–Nagambie, by Flatter) has been consigned to Book 1 of Keeneland's November Breeding Stock sale and will sell Monday, Nov. 7. Catalogued as a racing or broodmare prospect, she will be consigned by Taylor Made Sales Agency.

Campaigned by Albaugh Family Stables and trained by Brad Cox, Juju's Map broke her maiden at second asking at two and proceeded to romp by 4 1/4 lengths in the GI Darley Alcibiades S. at Keeneland last October. Second to Echo Zulu (Gun Runner) in the GI Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies, the dark bay was a finalist for the 2-year-old filly Eclipse Award last year. She opened her sophomore season in May at Churchill Downs with an optional allowance win and has since placed in the GII Mother Goose S., the GIII Monmouth Oaks, and the GIII Remington Park Oaks, the latter on Sept. 25.

“Juju's Map is a third-generation Taylor Made Sales grad following Unbridled's Song and her sire, Liam's Map,” said Taylor Made CEO Mark Taylor. “She has lived up to the family legacy both on the track and with her absolutely gorgeous conformation.”

Bred in Kentucky by Fred Hertrich III and consigned by Woods Edge Farm, Juju's Map was originally an Albaugh Family yearling purchase for $300,000 at the 2020 Keeneland September sale. Her current record stands at 8-3-2-3 with earnings for $775,180.

Oct. 1 Insights: Half to Yaupon Debuts at the Big A

5th-BAQ, $95K, Msw, 2yo, 6 1/2f, 3:05 p.m. EDT

Allen Stable's $575,000 KEESEP acquisition LIMITS OF POWER (Good Magic) makes his career bow in this spot for trainer Chug McGaughey. Out of GISP Modification (Vindication), the dark bay is a half-brother to Grade I-winning sprinter and new Spendthrift stallion Yaupon (Uncle Mo), as well as MGSP Sawyer's Hill (Spring At Last). He breezed a best-of-153 half-mile in :47 flat on the Belmont training track two works back Sept. 17. Chad Brown unveils another pricey graduate of that auction in $475,000 KEESEP buy Inflationary (Into Mischief). The Klaravich Stables colorbearer is out of a full-sister to GSW Excited (Giant's Causeway), dam of SW & MGSP Thrilled (Uncle Mo). TJCIS PPs

Harry McAlpine Becomes New Australasian Representative For Tattersalls

Bloodstock consultant Harry McAlpine has been named as an additional Tattersalls Australasian representative alongside Jenny McAlpine. The Queensland native is based on the McAlpine family's Eureka Stud, and handles stallion nominations and sales. He also acts as a bloodstock agent and consultant managing the Black Soil Bloodstock racing and breeding operation of Brian Siemsen.

Tattersalls Chairman Edmond Mahony said, “Harry is a great addition to the Tattersalls team of overseas representatives and his appointment working alongside Jenny McAlpine demonstrates the importance we attach to promoting Tattersalls sales throughout Australia and New Zealand. Having worked at Tattersalls in Newmarket and at William Inglis in Sydney, Harry is already familiar with the Tattersalls ethos and sales portfolio and between him and Jenny, Tattersalls has two highly respected individuals to represent the company in a hugely important market.”

McAlpine added, “Tattersalls has a fantastic reputation in both Australia and New Zealand and to be promoting Tattersalls alongside Jenny is a role I am looking forward to enormously.”

Impeccably Bred Justify Colt Debuts at Chukyo

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 weekend running at Chukyo Racecourse. Top-level racing makes a much-anticipated return to Japan this weekend with the running of the G1 Sprinters' S. at Nakayama, where the fairer sex looks to hold all the aces:

Saturday, October 1, 2022
3rd-CKO, ¥13,400,000 ($93k), Newcomers, 2yo, 1800m
GOLDEN MIC (c, 2, Justify–Sambuca Classica, by Cat Thief) seeks to become the seventh winner from eight foals to the races for his dam, who accounts for GI Breeders' Cup Juvenile and Eclipse Award winner Classic Empire (Pioneerof the Nile), making a name for himself alongside this colt's freshman sire at Coolmore America. The $625,000 Keeneland September yearling is also a half-brother to SW Anytime Magic (Fusaichi Pegasus) and to MSW Uptown Twirl (Twirling Candy), whose son Presidential (Pioneerof the Nile) just missed in this year's Texas Derby. Golden Mic's yearling full-brother fetched $575,000 from Maverick Racing and Siena Farm at the just-concluded September Sale. Golden Mic has drawn widest in a field of 10 with Yasunari Iwata at the controls for Hideyuki Mori. B-CHC Inc (KY)

 

 

 

RED KHAFRA (c, 2, American Pharoah–A. P. Dream, by A. P. Indy) is out of a daughter of Kinsman Farm's MGISW Dream Supreme (Seeking the Gold), the dam of GISW sire Majestic Warrior (A. P. Indy) and his SW full-sister Crystal Current–dam of three stakes horses including GSP Crystal Glacier (Curlin)–as well as SW & GSP Evolutionist (El Prado {Ire}). Red Khafra, who was bought back on a bid of $245,000 at KEESEP last year, counts fellow GI Ballerina S. heroine Spinning Round (Dixieland Band) as his third dam. Hayato Yoshida, best known for his association with champion white filly Sodashi (Jpn), has the call from gate one. B-Kinsman Farm (KY)

Sunday, October 2, 2022
1st-CKO, ¥9,900,000 ($68k), Maiden, 2yo, 1800m
KAUPILI (Frosted) is out of a winner of North Hills' Tenno Sho (Autumn) heroine Heavenly Romance (Jpn) (Sunday Silence), but may not have taken to the turf when beaten just under 10 lengths in ninth on career debut at Hanshin in June. The grey switches to the dirt for this and has a license to appreciate the change, as the filly is a half-sister to Awardee (Jungle Pocket {Jpn}), twice a winner and Group 3 level and twice Group 1-placed on the surface; five-time dirt stakes scorer Amour Briller (Smart Strike); and a close relative of G2 UAE Derby hero and GI Belmont S. placegetter Lani (Tapit). B-North Hills Co Limited (KY)
