Spinster Winner Valiance to Fasig-Tipton November

Sunday’s GI Juddmonte Spinster S. winner Valiance (Tapit–Last Full Measure, by Empire Maker) will be offered at the Nov. 8 Fasig-Tipton November Sale after an anticipated start in the GI Longines Breeders’ Cup Distaff Nov. 7. She will go through the ring as a racing or broodmare prospect consigned by Meg Levy’s Bluewater Sales.

A Todd Pletcher trainee for the partnership of Eclipse Thoroughbred Partners, Martin S. Schwartz, and CHC Inc., Valiance is riding a three-race win streak into the Breeders’ Cup. She came into the Spinster off a score in Monmouth’s Eatontown S. Aug. 29, which had followed an allowance/optional claimer win on the turf at Colonial Downs July 28. She also won the Open Mind S. on the Monmouth turf last year as a 3-year-old. Valiance goes into the Breeders’ Cup with an 8-6-0-0 record and earnings of $469,575.

“It is always exciting to offer fillies in top current form,” said Fasig-Tipton President Boyd Browning. “A daughter of Tapit with a fantastic pedigree will be highly desirable to the sport’s leading buyers and owners.”

Valiance is out of the GI Madison S. winner Last Full Measure, who hammered for $1.5 million while in foal to War Front at the 2014 Keeneland November sale. Valiance’s granddam, Lazy Slusan (Slewvescent), was a dual Grade I winner in 2001.

The Spinster winner previously sold for $650,000 as a yearling at the 2017 Fasig-Tipton Saratoga sale to Eclipse Thoroughbred Partners and Marty Schwartz.

“She’s been a joy to be associated with, taking us to the top of the mountain,” said Eclipse Thoroughbred’s Aron Wellman. “Valiance is regally bred, a gorgeous physical, and she’s a top-shelf performer on dirt and turf. We are hoping for another positive result in the Breeders’ Cup Distaff and to then showcase her at the historic Newtown Paddocks.”

Recent Grade 1 Winner Valiance To Sell At Fasig-Tipton November Sale

Valiance, winner of the Grade 1 Juddmonte Spinster Stakes this past weekend, will be offered at this year's Fasig-Tipton November Sale on Sunday, Nov. 8, at the company's Newtown Paddocks in Lexington, Ky.

Bluewater Sales will consign the four-year-old old filly on behalf of owners Eclipse Thoroughbred Partners, Martin S. Schwartz, and CHC Inc.

Valiance, trained by Todd Pletcher, has won six of her eight career starts to date and earned $469,575. She has won her last three starts since this summer, including the Eatontown Stakes on Aug. 29, followed by the Juddmonte Spinster Stakes on Oct. 4. In the Spinster, she defeated a top-class field that included Grade 1 winner Ollie's Candy, and recent Kentucky Oaks victress Shedaresthedevil.

Valiance's next anticipated start is the Longines Breeders' Cup Distaff on Nov. 7 in Lexington.

“Eclipse has been fortunate to sell several seven-figure mares, including a $3 million sales-topper, at Fasig-Tipton's Night of the Stars and it's only fitting for Valiance to be one of the next in line,” said Aron Wellman, President and Founder of Eclipse Thoroughbred Partners. “Our partnership, including Marty Schwartz and her breeder, China Horse Club, acquired Valiance at the Saratoga Selected Yearlings Sale and she's been a joy to be associated with, taking us to the top of the mountain. Valiance is regally-bred, a gorgeous physical, and she's a top shelf performer on dirt and turf. We are hoping for another positive result in the Breeders' Cup Distaff and to then showcase her at the historic Newtown Paddocks.”

A daughter of leading sire Tapit, Valiance was purchased for $650,000 at the 2017 Fasig-Tipton Saratoga Selected Yearlings Sale. Her dam Last Full Measure, by Empire Maker, captured the Grade 1 Madison Stakes on her way to career earnings of $293,245. Valiance's second dam, Lazy Slusan, was a multiple Grade 1 winning distaffer and millionaire.

Horses In North Carolina Dying From Mystery Illness

New Hope Stables in North Carolina has had four horses die from a mystery illness that veterinarians cannot isolate or explain. Treasure, an 18-year-old rescue horse used in the stable's lesson program, was the first horse afflicted and was originally suspected to be colicking when barn workers found him down on September 23.

When the veterinarian arrived, however, it was apparent that Treasure was not colicking, but the horse was experiencing gastrointestinal irritation. The gelding was sent to Woodside Equine Clinic in Richmond, VA, where he deteriorated and was euthanized.

On Sept. 28, several other horses at the farm became ill and three died. Three horses remain in the clinic and nearly half of the farm's stable is on intravenous fluids.

Treating veterinarian Dr. Shanna Edwards has asked colleagues all over the United States for opinions; thus far no conclusive diagnosis has been reached, even after a necropsy of one of the horses.

Affected horses have diarrhea, colic and fever, and become bloated and lethargic. Edwards suspects a toxin may be in the horse's hay, grain or water as every horse in the farm is affected, which doesn't typically happen with an infectious disease. The farm has stopped using their well water and has brought in new hay and grain.

A GoFundMePage has raised nearly $30,000 of the $20,000 goal.
