Wertheimers Acquire Wildenstein Family’s Dayton Investments Bloodstock Portfolio

Wertheimer et Frere have purchased the entirety of the Wildenstein family's Dayton Investments bloodstock, including 'TDN Rising Star' and G3 Prix Penelope heroine Pensee Du Jour (Ire) (Camelot {GB}). She was due to race in the Ballymore Thoroughbred Racing colours in the G2 Prix de la Nonette on Sunday, but will instead carry the blue silks with white sleeves and seams of Alain and Gerard Wertheimer.

A storied operation since the 1920s, the Wildenstein family's bloodstock have produced a slew of stars on an international scale, including a quartet of G1 Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe winners. Current flagbearers for the breeding programme are four-time Group 1 winner Paddington (GB) (Siyouni {Fr})–an €420,000 yearling at the Arqana October Yearling Sale–and three-time top-level winner-turned Darley stallion Persian King (Ire) to name just a few.

“We confirm that we have recently acquired all the horses belonging to Dayton Investments,” a spokesperson for Wertheimer et Frere told Jour de Galop on Thursday evening. “This is a rare opportunity to integrate many elements of exceptional quality into our broodmare band, such as the dams of Classic [winners] Persian King and Paddington, the winner of the [2014 G1] 1000 Guineas Miss France (Ire) (Dansili {GB}), as well as horses-in-training, including Pensee Du Jour. The yearlings and foals also join the Wertheimer et Frere squad.

“We hope to continue to develop the success of the great families of Dayton Investments who, since 1923, have been among the most important families in the European stud book and have notably produced four Arc de Triomphe winners. The main lines that will thus join the stable are from iconic mares such as Albertine (Fr), Madelia (Fr) or even Petroleuse (Ire).”

A yearling and horses-in-training dispersal was conducted for the Wildenstein family by Goffs during the 2016 Orby Sale.

Late NYRA Photographer Bob Coglianese to be Honored at Saratoga

Friday's first race at Saratoga is named in honor of Bob Coglianese, the late NYRA track photographer who passed away in December. Coglianese, who would have been celebrating his 89th birthday, spent more than half of a century documenting racing history. Friends from his decades at the track are welcome to join in the winner's circle presentation following the race and all are encouraged to turn their attention to the on-track screens for a video tribute. If you would like to honor his legacy, the Coglianese family recommends donations to the Belmont Child Care Association, the Backstretch Employee Service Team, or the New York Race Track Chaplaincy.
