Uncle Mo Tops Ashford 2021 Roster on Fee Raise to $175K

Leading Coolmore’s Ashford Stud’s 2021 roster is North America’s leading sire by graded stakes winners, Uncle Mo (Indian Charlie), who will stand for $175,000 in 2021 after being priced at $125,000 for 2020. The Eclipse winner had 19 black-type winner so far this season, led by Girl Daddy, Harvest Moon, Yaupon, Bast.

Ashford’s two Triple Crown winners, Justify (Scat Daddy), whose first foals are weanlings, and American Pharoah (Pioneerof the Nile), who leads the second-crop sire list by graded stakes winners, will stand for $125,000 and $100,000, respectively. Justify stood for $150,000 in 2020 and the reduction is in keeping with what many farms are doing for the upcoming breeding season in response to the economy’s reaction to the COVID-19 pandemic. American Pharoah was officially listed as private in 2020.

New sires for the Versailles location include champion and multiple Grade I winner Maximum Security (New Year’s Day), as well as Echo Town (Speightstown), who won the GI H. Allen Jerkens S. this summer at Saratoga. Their fees will be determined upon retirement. In addition, Coolmore announced Thursday that popular Ireland-based Caravaggio (Scat Daddy) will relocate to Kentucky for the upcoming breeding season.

“Our established sires have enjoyed great success on the racetrack this year, but in recognition of the challenging times we find ourselves in, we have reduced the fees of all of our sires yet to have runners with the one exception of Mendelssohn, who we have probably under-priced all along,” said Ashford’s Director of Sales Charlie O’Connor. “We have three exciting new additions to our roster and we look forward to watching Echo Town and Maximum Security continue to show their brilliance on the racecourse before they retire.”

The full 2021 roster for Ashford Stud is as follows:

Air Force Blue ($10,000)

American Pharoah ($100,000)

Caravaggio ($25,000)

Classic Empire ($17,500)

Competitive Edge ($5,000)

Cupid ($5,000)

Echo Town (TBD)

Justify ($125,000)

Lookin At Lucky ($20,000)

Maximum Security (TBD)

Mendelssohn ($35,000)

Mo Town ($7,500)

Munnings ($40,000)

Practical Joke ($22,500)

Tale of the Cat ($12,500)

Uncle Mo ($175,000)

Echo Town to Stand at Ashford Stud

Echo Town (Speightstown–Letgomyecho, by Menifee) will take up residence at Ashford Stud upon his retirement from racing.

Purchased by L&N Racing for $100,000 at KEESEP, the ‘TDN Rising Star’ has captured four of his nine starts thus far for earnings of $410,020. The Steve Asmussen trainee scored a career-high this summer when winning the GI Runhappy H. Allen Jerkens S. at Saratoga and was most recently in the GII Stoll Keenon Ogden Phoenix S. at Keeneland Oct. 2.

“We are delighted that Echo Town will be coming to Ashford. He is a very good-looking horse and Speightstown is making an impression as a sire of sires,” said Coolmore’s Director of Sales Charlie O’Connor. “As one of the best sprinters of his generation we think Echo Town offers a similar profile to our own Munnings, who continues to go from strength to strength.”

“We are extremely excited for Echo Town to stand at Coolmore America,” said L&N’s Michael Levinson. “He has been a star on the racetrack, and we’re confident Coolmore will give him every opportunity to succeed as a stallion, we look forward to seeing his foals hit the ground in 2022.”

Notable US-Bred Runners in Japan: Oct. 25, 2020

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 Sunday running at Tokyo and Kyoto Racecourse, the latter of which plays host to the G1 Kikuka Sho (Japanese St Leger), where the uber-talented Contrail (Jpn) (Deep Impact {Jpn}) looks to follow in his sire’s footsteps in completing the Triple Crown:

Sunday, October 25, 2020
3rd-TOK, ¥13,400,000 ($128k), Newcomers, 2yo, 1300m
MOZU HAPPY ROAD (c, 2, Medaglia d’Oro–Overheard, by Macho Uno) is the latest produce from his dam, who won the GIII Valley View S. sponsored by this breeder in 2013 and the GII Dance Smartly S. the following season. A $425K Keeneland September graduate, the April foal hails from family of Pin Oak’s Grade I-winning juvenile filly Confessional, who–like this colt’s dam sire–was by Holy Bull. B-Pin Oak Stud LLC (KY)

5th-TOK, ¥13,830,000 ($132k), Allowance, 2yo, 1400mT
REFRAME (f, 2, American Pharoah–Careless Jewel, by Tapit) turned in one of the more memorable debuts in recent memory, holding on by a desperate half-length after drifting out dramatically to the outside fence at Niigata July 25 (see below, gate 15). The $410K KEESEP yearling, a daughter of the single-minded GI Alabama S. romper Careless Jewel, has undergone rigorous retraining since and Takuya Kowata, who miraculously stayed in the saddle on debut, keeps the ride this weekend. B-Summer Wind Equine LLC (KY)

5th-KYO, ¥13,400,000 ($128k), Newcomers, 2yo, 1800mT
MOZU TREASURE (f, 2, California Chrome–Somethinaboutbetty, by Forestry), whose Maryland-bred dam was a four-time stakes winner and second in the GIII Lake George S., cost $200K as a KEESEP yearling and is a half-sister to GSP Dewey Square (Bernardini) from the same A.P. Indy sire line, as well as SP Something Super (Super Saver). This is also the female family of MGSW Eskenformoney (Eskendereya) and GISW My Trusty Cat (Tale of the Cat). B-Siena Farms LLC (KY)
