Bred by Bobby Flay, who also campaigned GSW America, the colt brought $1.5 million at the Fasig-Tipton Saratoga Select Sale in 2019. Flay retained a piece of the colt, who was ultimately raced by a partnership including West Point Thoroughbreds, Siena Farm and Woodford Racing. Trained by Shug McGaughey, the chestnut won his first three career starts, including the GIII Dwyer S. and subsequently added an allowance win at Gulfstream and the GIII Pimlico Special S. later in the 2022 season. He also finished second in the GII Suburban S. and third in the GI Jockey Club Gold Cup. He retired with five wins from 11 career starts and earnings of $662,100.

Think of the baby-faced Colin Keane storming to Topaz Mile glory aboard Brendan Brackan (Ire) (Big Bad Bob {Ire}) for his boss Ger Lyons back in 2013 as a five-pound claimer. 

Just last week, we had local boy Danny Gilligan earning the plaudits for his front-running masterclass aboard Gordon Elliott's Ash Tree Meadow (Fr) (Bonbon Rose (Fr) in the Plate. Another star of the future, for sure.

But this year's meeting also provided a much needed boon for one of the elder statesmen of the weighing room, Niall McCullagh, who propelled himself back into the spotlight with an ice-cool victory aboard Brazil (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) in a premier handicap on Friday night. 

At 54 years of age, McCullagh is the oldest jockey still operating in Ireland and victory aboard Brazil quashed any talk of retirement. 

“I'm still on a high, to tell the truth,” McCullagh said on Wednesday. “I suppose you don't realise how much it means until you go and have a big winner like that. There was a lot of emotion involved. I got a great kick out of it and it just shows you that it still matters, it still means a lot and the fire is still in the belly.”

McCullagh added, “Things have been slower this year. It's getting tougher but I've been a bit more selective as well in that I'm not going racing to ride something with no chance or for a horse or trainer I don't know something about. I'm a lot busier in the mornings than in the afternoons but I like being busy.”

To illustrate McCullagh's point, it wasn't until the end of July that he tasted his first winners of the season, and they came in rather fortuitous fashion. 

After Rory Cleary was stood down to ride at Down Royal last Friday week, McCullagh came in to partner Golden Spangle (Ire) (Dawn Approach {Ire}) and Eastern Legend (Ire) (Teofilo {Ire}) to victory for Jim Bolger. It was from there that things snowballed into Galway. 

“If you told me last Friday week that I'd ride two winners for Jim Bolger at Down Royal and then ride the winner of a premier handicap at Galway for JP McManus and Paudie Roche, I'd have laughed. It just goes to show you that this is a great game but you have to keep going. You have to keep trying and grafting and, if you do, it will turn. All you need is a bit of luck.”

He added, “A few times this year, I wondered if I would keep going. It came to Derby weekend at the Curragh and I didn't have many rides. I got one horse placed for Donal Kinsella and I got a good kick out of that–when I get a horse to run well it's a great feeling and then you're hoping that maybe there will be a next day. 

“But, when you have the few winners, it makes all the hard graft worthwhile and makes you feel better about yourself. When you had been going well, riding thirty and forty winners, when you're back down struggling to get a ride, you have to deal with the devaluation. I've a strong mind and have dealt with it. You have to remember as well, it's evolution, and just like in nature, the auld stags get pushed out to the periphery by the young stags.”

”I got as good a kick out of that winner as any winner I've ever ridden”

But even the young stags would have been proud of that ride you gave Brazil, Niall?

“Well that proved to myself more than anyone else that, if I have the horse, I'm fit enough and strong enough to be able to get the job done. Listen, I gave Brazil a good ride and I'm not afraid to say it. It all worked out and I will be in good humour now for a month!”

It is the progress of one particular young rider, his son Scott, that has particularly pleased McCullagh this year. Scott has partnered five winners all told and has struck up a good relationship with Jessica Harrington. 

McCullagh commented, “It's great. We sit close together in the weighroom and we both have Dave Fox as our valet. It's a great feeling to be heading out to ride in a race with your son. I'm competitive but he's even more competitive than me. It's special riding alongside him. That's why I am enjoying the last few years of my career so much. Let's face it, I'm 54, so I don't have long left. 

“But I'm proud as a kitten these days as my daughter graduated with first class honours in business in law from Maynooth University, so she got all of the brains. I'm very lucky that the two kids are going great because that gives me great pleasure.”

Brazil may have postponed any talk of retirement but McCullagh knows better than most that he can't go on forever. Just what he plans to turn his hand after riding, however, is even less certain than where his next big winner might come from. 

He said, “I have been asking myself that question for the past 10 years. I can't find anything else that I want to do so, while I am able to continue riding, I will. I will worry about life after retirement when it comes. 

“I just know that, one day, I'll be driving to the races and I'll say, 'today is the day.' I don't know when that will be. It could be this year or next year, I'm just not sure. I still have a few things I'd like to accomplish in my career. There are a few races I need to win.”

He added, “I ride out for Mick Halford and Tracey Collins, Johnny Murtagh, Ken Condon and I ride a lot of work for Jessica Harrington. They seem to appreciate the feedback and I feel like I am part of the team. They all try to give me rides whenever they can but they have their own owners to try and keep happy as well. I am happy enough to pitch up whenever they need me.”

You could say that things have turned full circle for McCullagh, who burst onto the scene at Galway as a young seven-pound claimer back in 1988, and there is no danger of him failing to soak up his latest moment in the spotlight there.

“Galway is where I got going back in 1988 by winning the McDonogh Handicap as a seven-pound claimer aboard Feverstown for Paddy Mullins. Every year, a young lad seems to announce himself at Galway, and young Danny Gilligan and Jack Kearney did that this year. 

“I don't know what it is but everyone seems to watch Galway. It's just an iconic meeting and I've never had so many texts and congratulations for winning aboard Brazil. Everyone I meet, the well wishes have been unreal. You could ride a winner anywhere else and they wouldn't know anything about it but Galway is different.”

While the Southern Hemisphere breeding season is still months away, breeders in Argentina are already eager to send their mares to millionaire Ivar. Bonne Chance Farm CEO Alberto Figueiredo estimated that the new stallion will breed around 140 mares in his first season.

“All the good breeders and important names in the industry in Argentina are interested,” Figueiredo said. “There is general excitement about the horse. When you are in the stallion business, you have to pray that everything keeps going as you hope, but at least we are providing him with the best support he can have.”

Ivar's breeder and co-owner Stud Rio Dois Irmaos (Stud RDI) has retained a 55% ownership share in the stallion, but the syndicate also includes Haras Carampangue–the farm where he will stand–as well as Haras Abolengo, Gran Muneca, San Benito, La Nora and Santa Maria de Araras.

Haras Carampangue is home to four other stallions including 2013 GI Frank E. Kilroe Mile S. winner Suggestive Boy (Easing Along) and 2013 GI Hollywood Derby victor Seek Again (Speightstown).

Argentinian breeders are already more than familiar with Ivar from his undefeated 2-year-old season there in 2019, where he claimed two Group 1 victories and was named champion 2-year-old colt before shipping to the U.S. Under the tutelage of Paulo Lobo, Ivar was a winner in his second start in North America and then claimed the GI Turf Mile S. at Keeneland four months later. He ran third the following season in the GI Breeders' Cup Mile and last year, won the Jonathan B. Schuster Memorial S. and placed in two additional Grade I competitions.

Following his second-place finish in the GI Pegasus Turf in January, the decision was made for Ivar to retire. Figueiredo said that, had the horse won the Pegasus, they might have considered a trip to the Saudi Cup or keeping him in training for one last Keeneland spring meet, but ultimately they chose to give Ivar plenty of time to get through quarantine and let down before the fall breeding season.

“He ran in 11 Grade I races in his career and was so competitive, so we needed to look toward his second career,” he explained. “Since his first race in Argentina, he showed that he had a ton of potential and that he was a freak. He was a different horse. He won on the dirt and the turf and he ran until he was a 6-year-old, so he showed versatility, durability and soundness. He ran in three Breeders' Cups in a row. He was a tough boy.”

Figueiredo said that a stud fee is not yet set for Ivar's first year, but noted that he believes there is a good space in the Argentinian market for a stallion with his credentials. Ivar's sire Agnes Gold, a son of Sunday Silence who stood in Japan and Florida before making his mark in Brazil as a three-time leading sire, passed away in 2019.

Ivar was one of the first top-level performers to bring attention to Bonne Chance Farm, which is located off Pisgah Pike in Versailles and was founded by Brazilian businessman Gilberto Sayao Da Silva. Silva is a partner in Stud RDI, a breeding and racing operation established in 2008 with locations in Brazil and Argentina. In 2015, he launched Bonne Chance as his own boutique commercial farm in Kentucky.

Bonne Chance Bloodstock Manager Leah Alessandroni spoke on the significance of Ivar carrying the farm's silks to Grade I success so soon after the operation was off its feet.

“To have a horse like Ivar come up here and do what he did, holding his own against some of the best in the world on the turf and really showing up at the biggest stage every time, it's kind of hard to quantify what that means for a young organization like us. It's definitely something that we're thankful for every day and the significance is not lost on us.”

Of course Ivar is not the only success story of South American-breds performing at the top of the game in the U.S. for the Bonne Chance and Stud RDI partnership. Top performers include In Love (Brz), a gelding son of Agnes Gold who followed Ivar to victory in the GI Keeneland Turf Mile S. in 2021, and Imperador (Arg) (Treasure Beach {GB}), winner of the 2021 GII Calumet Turf Cup S. Now back at Stud RDI, Imperador bred over 80 mares in his first book and is expecting his first foals to hit the ground this year.

“There is a pipeline of these outstanding racehorses coming from the programs in Brazil and Argentina,” Alessandroni said of the Stud RDI operation. “The program that they've built there is so underappreciated on a global scale. When you look at the numbers and what they've done in South America with groups of horses that arguably aren't as respected as much as they should be, they have kind of forced people to look at the South American product and respect it.”

“To have even a little bit of that influence through Bonne Chance is awesome,” she continued. “I feel like we're sleeping on a giant because I'm so excited to see the future for Ivar as a stallion, but also for the future of the partnership of Stud RDI and Bonne Chance.”

At Bonne Chance, Ivar's dam May Be Now (Smart Strike) is creating her own pipeline of future broodmares for the Kentucky operation. Her 2-year-old Open Heart, a May-foaled daughter of Yoshida, was retained by the farm and is in the early stages of training under Paulo Lobo.

This year she produced a filly by Uncle Mo. Alessandroni said that they will take a few months to let the Mar. 11-foaled filly develop before deciding if she would be pointed toward the racetrack or the sales ring.

“She definitely favors Uncle Mo, which is one of the reasons why we bred the mare to him because we were looking for that type. She's a good mover out in the field and is a very quality filly. We're really excited about her.”

May Be Now was acquired as a yearling by Stud RDI and was a Group 2 winner in Brazil. She spent her first few years as a broodmare there before returning to the U.S. shortly after producing Ivar. She was sold in foal to Hard Spun in 2017, but was bought back by Bonne Chance as Ivar was making a name for himself.

In a few years, the team at Bonne Chance hopes to be represented by sons and daughters of Ivar. Because Southern Hemisphere horses are at a disadvantage early in their racing career as they are born in the later months of the year, Figueiredo said that Stud RDI's Ivar babies will likely race as 2-year-olds in Argentina and those that show promise will ship to the U.S. after their juvenile season.

“We would be really excited by that,” Figueiredo said enthusiastically.

The son of Honour and Glory stood at Haras Santa Maria de Araras in Bagé, Brazil, where he had become a pillar of the country's stallion ranks.

Racing as a Florida homebred for Hobeau Farm and for trainer Allen Jerkens, Put It Back won seven of five starts, highlighted by victories in the Grade 2 Riva Ridge Stakes and the listed Best Turn Stakes.

He retired to stud at Bridlewood Farm in Florida, and he was a frequent shuttle stallion to Brazil for a decade until taking permanent residence in South America in 2013. He was named Brazil's leading sire in 2014.

Put It Back has sired 17 crops of racing age, with 883 winners and combined progeny earnings of more than $48.6 million.

His biggest star in either hemisphere succeeded in both hemispheres. Bal a Bali was named Brazil's Horse of the Year in 2014 after winning four Group 1 races in his native country. He was then purchased by Rick Porter's Fox Hill Farm and brought to the U.S., where he became a top turf miler and notched victories in the G1 Shoemaker Mile Stakes and Frank E. Kilroe Mile Stakes.

His other Northern Hemisphere runners of note include Canadian champion Noholdingback Bear, and Grade 1 winner In Summation and Jessica Is Back.

Put It Back's South American year-end award winners are plentiful, including Brazilian champions Beach Ball, Billy Girl, Desejado Put, Requebra, Billion Dollar, Skypilot, English Major, Nitido, and Garbo Talks. He also sired Uruguayan Horse of the Year Fitzgerald and champion Elliott Ness. The stallion even had a notable Japanese runner in Group 3 winner Black Bar Spin.

That's where the 32-year-old will call home this summer – that and a 30-foot boat he purchased to live on throughout the meet – as he continues trying to make inroads in his first year as a trainer.

Schistl is one of several newcomers among the training ranks based at Monmouth Park for the first time, with the track's 76th season kicking off with four straight days of live racing over the Memorial Day weekend starting Friday, May 28.

“I looked around and decided this was the best place for the horses I have,” said Schistl. “I took into account the timing, the quality of the racing, how my horses fit and the racetrack. I know there are some big-name trainers here but for me, right now, this is the best fit for my horses.”

As a jockey from 2005 through 2019, Schistl estimates he won “more than 300 stakes races,” including three Derbies in Norway, two in Denmark and one in Sweden. He also rode in Dubai, Germany, France, New Zealand, Italy and Switzerland. But the ongoing battle to make weight eventually took its toll and forced him to switch gears professionally.

“I always had in my mind that I wanted to be a trainer,” said Schistl. “It was just time. You can't keep fighting the weight issue. It wasn't the way I wanted to leave riding but it was time.

“It's crazy when I look back. I'm 155 pounds now. I'm a normal person. But I rode at 113 or 114. It's just too much after a while.”

After he stopped riding Schistl eventually found his way to Florida and started working at farms in Ocala. He caught the attention of Bob and Jill Jones, the owners of Endsley Oaks Farms in Brooksville, Fla., and they wound up giving him 30 horses to train at Tampa Downs for the winter meet. From 50 starters he produced 10 winners, five seconds and 10 thirds.

That 30-horse division, which consists mostly of claiming horses, is now at Monmouth Park.

“This is my first year training but I have been around trainers my whole life,” said Schistl, who is fluent in English, Portuguese, Spanish and German. “My father was a trainer. I have worked for some of the biggest trainers in the world. Along the way you pick up things.

“I'm a very detailed guy. I like small details. Taking care of the small details can make a big difference.”

Schistl said his globetrotting as a jockey has exposed him to enough prominent horsemen that he is not intimidated by the star power in Monmouth Park's backstretch. Hall of Famers Steve Asmussen and Todd Pletcher have returned with full divisions following a hiatus and Saffie Joseph Jr. has a string at Monmouth Park for the first time. In addition, Claudio Gonzalez, who has won or shared 15 training titles in Maryland, is back at Monmouth following a lengthy absence.

Kelly Breen, looking to defend his training title, will have a formidable presence again, as will another Hall of Famer – Jerry Hollendorfer, whose string is handled locally by Dan Ward.

Among the other newcomers hunkered down in Monmouth Park's backstretch for the next four months are Juan Carlos Avila, Philip Antonacci, Jose Camejo, Cody Axmaker, Darrien Rodriguez and Orlando Noda.

The 53-day meet will again find the $1 million TVG.Com Haskell Stakes on July 17 as the centerpiece. Post times on Saturdays, Sundays and Monday holidays is 12:15 p.m. First race post time on Fridays is 5 p.m.

U.S. Attorney Audrey Strauss said:  “Jose Chocron's black-market banking was designed to facilitate tax evasion, and was used to facilitate what he thought was the bribery of a foreign official. Unbeknownst to Chocron, the FBI had identified his network and worked quickly to dismantle it. This Office will continue to ensure the integrity of the U.S. financial system by identifying and prosecuting shadow banking operations like Chocron's.”

According to the Complaint, the Indictment, and other filings in this case:

Between May 2019 and October 2019, Chocron, working with his co-conspirators, utilized his network of contacts and bank accounts to launder funds that had been provided to him by individuals who – unbeknownst to Chocron – were working for the Federal Bureau of Investigation (“FBI”). Those individuals informed Chocron that the funds were the proceeds of bribes that had been paid to Brazilian public officials in order to obtain licenses and permits. On four occasions, Chocron accepted cash from individuals who were working for the FBI or arranged to have the cash delivered to his associates. He then arranged for the funds to be transferred to bank accounts specified by the FBI, minus a commission payment.

Chocron explained that he was able to receive large amounts of cash in the United States and arrange for those funds to be transferred to bank accounts because Chocron “ha[d] . . . people here that need cash.  They will transfer to you, because they don't want to pay taxes . . .  What do I do? I give them the money and they make a transfer to me.”  He also requested a higher commission for his services than initially offered, stating “Let's be clear, that's laundering money.”

Chocron, 61, of Spain and Venezuela, pled guilty to one count of money laundering, which carries a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison. The maximum potential sentence in this case is prescribed by Congress and is provided here for informational purposes only, as any sentencing of the defendant will be determined by the judge. In connection with his guilty plea, Chocron also admitted that he operated an unlicensed money transmitting business, in violation of Title 18, United States Code, Section 1960.

Chocron is scheduled to be sentenced by Judge Rakoff on July 16, 2021, at 4:00 p.m.

Ms. Strauss praised the outstanding work of FBI New York's Eurasian Organized Crime Task Force.

The prosecution of this case is being overseen by the Office's Money Laundering and Transitional Criminal Enterprises Unit.  Assistant U.S. Attorneys Andrew C. Adams, Benet J. Kearney, and Sarah Mortazavi are in charge of the case.

Editor's note: The preceding press release was distributed by the United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York. Chocron was named a March 2020 indictment alongside Florida trainer Alfredo Lichoa and several others. A superseding indictment named only Lichoa, Chocron, and Schachtel. Read about that case here. Lichoa has since entered a guilty plea to a charge of money laundering conspiracy.

The 10-year-old son Exceed and Excel had previously stood his entire career at Darley's Dalham Hall Stud in England, where his first foals are 4-year-olds of 2021.

Outstrip has sired 41 winners from three crops of racing age, with progeny earnings of $1,413,960.

His leading runners include Outburst, the winner of last year's Grade 3 Florida Oaks, French Group 2 winner Gold Trip, Greek Derby winner Gunmetal Jack, and Swiss champion Justin.

During his own on-track career, Outstrip won three of 11 starts for earnings of $826,800. He made his mark early as a 2-year-old, winning a Group 2 in England before traveling stateside to win the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf at Santa Anita Park in what would be his only U.S. start.

Outstrip raced for two more seasons, one in the U.K. and the other in the UAE, with his best effort being a third in the G1 St. James's Palace Stakes during the Royal Ascot meet.

The British-born Outstrip is out of the Grade 1-winning El Prado mare Asi Siempre.

The 7-year-old Tapit horse was retired in September after sustaining a minor injury. Racing as a homebred for Pin Oak Stud, under the shedrow of trainer Michael Stidham, Synchrony won nine of 29 career starts and earned $956,652.

He won two editions of the Grade 3 Fair Grounds Handicap, and he notched additional victories in the G2 Muniz Memorial Handicap and King Edward Stakes, as well as the G3 Red Bank Stakes and Oceanport Stakes. Synchrony also placed in eight other graded stakes races, including the G1 Turf Classic Stakes at Churchill Downs.

Synchrony is out of Pin Oak homebred Brownie Points. A daughter of Forest Wildcat, Brownie Points was a graded stakes winner of eight black type stakes, earning over $950,000. Her best performances included a victory in the G3 Ouija Board Distaff Handicap and a runner-up finish in the G1 Apple Blossom Handicap to Horse of the Year Zenyatta.

In addition to Synchrony, Brownie Points is the dam of graded stakes winner Chocolate Kisses as well as stakes winner Point System.

Synchrony is the second son of Tapit to be exported to Brazil in 2020 to launch his stallion career, following in the footsteps of classic-placed Hofburg.

The 19-year-old son of Sunday Silence was just kicking off the Southern Hemisphere breeding season, which begins in August. He had resided in Brazil since 2017.

Born in Japan, out of the Grade 2-winning Lost Code mare Tricky Code, Hat Trick raced for four seasons, primarily in his native country, where he took the Group 1 Mile Championship and was named Japan's champion miler of 2005. His international sojourns included a successful trip to Hong Kong for the G1 Hong Kong Mile.

Hat Trick retired to Walmac Farm in Lexington, Ky., for the 2008 breeding season, making him the first son of North American Horse of the Year and Japanese breed-shaper Sunday Silence to stand stateside. His first runners took off quickly, led by Dabirsim, who was named Europe's champion 2-year-old and France's Horse of the Year in 2011.

The fast start caught the attention of the Gainesway operation, which bought in heavily on the stallion and moved him across Paris Pike to its own farm for the 2012 breeding season. Hat Trick resided at Gainesway until the conclusion of the 2017 season, when he was sold to stand in Brazil.

Though Dabirsim was by far Hat Trick's standout runner during his time at stud in the U.S., he was also represented at the highest levels domestically by King David, winner of the G1 Jamaica Handicap at Belmont Park.

Also noteworthy was the achievement of Bright Thought, who set a world record for a mile and a half in the G2 San Luis Rey Stakes at Santa Anita Park in 2013, covering the distance in 2:22.72. The record stood for just a week before being surpassed by Twilight Eclipse in the G2 Pan American Stakes at Gulfstream Park, where he stopped the clock in 2:22.63.

Hat Trick's reputation in South America preceded his arrival in Brazil, having shuttled to Argentina for three Southern Hemisphere seasons in 2009, 2010, and 2012.

His Southern Hemisphere-born runners are led by Hat Puntano, who won the G1 Gran Criterium and Argentine 2,000 Guineas before moving to South Africa, where he became a Group 2 winner and sire.

An 8-year-old son of German-born stallion Shirocco, Brazilian-bred Some In Tieme is best known to U.S. audiences as the winner of the G3 Louisville Handicap at Churchill Downs in 2017. He spent three seasons racing in the American turf ranks, also picking up placings in two editions of the G3 John B. Connally Turf Cup Stakes at Sam Houston.

Prior to coming to the U.S., Some In Tieme was the champion 3-year-old male in his native Brazil, racking up wins in the Group 1 Gran Premio Linneo de Paula Machado and Gran Premio Latinoamericano.

Some in Tieme retired with four wins in 20 starts for earnings of $492,468.

Bred in Brazil by Haras Santa Maria de Araras, Some in Tieme is out of the Brazilian Group 2-winning Royal Academy mare Orma Giusta, who herself came to the U.S. to race after success in her native Brazil.

Some in Tieme will join shuttle stallion Will Take Charge and veteran New York stallion Honorable Dillon among Uruguay's incoming stallions with graded stakes wins in the U.S. for the 2020 Southern Hemisphere breeding season.

The Uruguayan racing and breeding program is heavily influenced by American dirt racing, meaning the country's most active stallions – both shuttlers and permanent residents – often raced in North America.
