Coady Photography Will Donate Percentage Of Authentic Calendar Sales To Old Friends

Coady Photography will donate 25 percent of all sales in December of its 2021 calendar honoring 2020 Kentucky Derby (G1) and Breeders' Cup Classic (G1) winner Authentic to Old Friends Equine. The calendar is currently on sale for $30 and can be purchased at www.coadyphotography.com.

The 9” x 12” wall calendar features stunning Coady Photography pictures, some never before seen, from both the Sept. 5 Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs and Nov. 7 Breeders' Cup Classic at Keeneland. The Into Mischief colt owned by Spendthrift Farm LLC, MyRaceHorse Stable, Madaket Stables LLC and Starlight Racing and trained by Hall of Famer Bob Baffert is only the fourth horse in history to win the Derby and Classic in the same year, following American Pharoah (2015), Unbridled (1990) and Sunday Silence (1989).

“We greatly appreciate this donation from Coady Photography,” Old Friends founder Michael Blowen said. “In this unprecedented year, we have had to look at alternative ways to raise much needed funds and this will be a big help to us. It's especially significant because Bob and Jill Baffert have donated so many great horses such as Game on Dude to Old Friends. And, they've supported us financially since we started more than 15 years ago. I hope all Thoroughbred racing fans will show their support for Old Friends by purchasing a calendar.”

“Coady Photography couldn't think of a better cause to support than Thoroughbred retirement and Old Friends,” Kurtis Coady said. “We are excited to help.”

Global Campaign Ruled Out Of Pegasus, Retired To WinStar For 2021

Grade 1 winner Global Campaign, third in the Breeders' Cup Classic (G1) at Keeneland Nov. 7, with a career-best 106 Beyer, will not resume training and has been retired, WinStar Farm announced today. Campaigned by Sagamore Farm and WinStar Farm, Global Campaign will stand the 2021 breeding season at WinStar for a fee of $12,500 S&N.

“We considered bringing him back for a final start in the Pegasus World Cup Invitational S. (G1) because he ran so well in the Breeders' Cup,” said Elliott Walden, WinStar's president, CEO, and racing manager. “He shed his frog in that race and the timing of getting him back into training is not going to work, unfortunately. He has been very popular when people see him, and we are excited about standing him next year.”

The 4-year-old son of Curlin emulated his sire by capturing the Woodward H. (G1) in his start prior to the Breeders' Cup Classic, earning a 104 Beyer in the front-running score for trainer Stanley Hough. The Woodward marked his second straight Graded win following a victory in the Monmouth Cup S. (G3) over the summer. Last year at three, he won the Peter Pan S. (G3), defeating next-out Belmont S. (G1) winner Sir Winston. All told, Global Campaign retires with a record of 10-6-0-2, having amassed earnings of $1,321,080.

A winner from seven furlongs to 1 ¼ miles, Global Campaign is out of the A.P. Indy mare Globe Trot, making him a half-brother to multiple Grade 1 winner Bolt d'Oro and multiple stakes winner Sonic Mule.

Global Campaign Retired

‘TDN Rising Star‘ Global Campaign (Curlin–Globe Trot, by A.P. Indy), an excellent third when last seen in the GI Breeders’ Cup Classic, will not resume training and has been retired from racing. He will enter stud for the 2021 breeding season at WinStar Farm.

“We considered bringing him back for a final start in the [GI] Pegasus World Cup Invitational S. because he ran so well in the Breeders’ Cup,” said Elliott Walden, WinStar’s president, CEO, and racing manager. “He shed his frog in that race and the timing of getting him back into training is not going to work, unfortunately. He has been very popular when people see him, and we are excited about standing him next year.”

Bred by WinStar, Global Campaign was a $250,000 Keeneland September graduate and was raced in partnership with Sagamore Farm and was trained by Stan Hough. Having earned ‘Rising Star’ status at second asking, Global Campaign validated the decision with a 1 1/4-length defeat of next-out GI Belmont S. hero Sir Winston (Awesome Again) in the GIII Peter Pan S. He closed the season with a solid third in the GII Jim Dandy S. off a freshening.

Global Campaign returned running from a nine-month absence to land a Gulfstream optional claimer Apr. 25 and proved an ultra-game winner of the GIII Monmouth Cup S. July 18. Front-running winner of the GI Woodward S. at Saratoga Sept. 5 (109 Beyer Speed Figure), he was bothered early in the Classic, but fought on gamely to be third, beaten just over three lengths by Horse of the Year favorite Authentic (Into Mischief).

A half-brother to dual Grade I winner and popular young sire Bolt d’Oro (Medaglia d’Oro) and to SW & MGSP Sonic Mule (Distorted Humor), Global Campaign is out of a winning daughter of MGSW Trip (Lord At War {Arg}), who also produced the dam of Sagamore’s GSW ‘TDN Rising Star’ Recruiting Ready (Algorithms). The female family also includes the fleet Zensational (Unbridled’s Song) and MGSW/GISP Departing (War Front).

The cross of Curlin over A.P. Indy-line mares has been responsible for the likes of Grade I winners Stellar Wind, Off the Tracks and Paris Lights and other graded winners Tenfold and Point of Honor. WinStar’s Exaggerator is out of a mare by Seattle Slew’s son Vindication.

Tiz the Law Confirmed for Pegasus, Franco Sacked

Confirming a report from Bill Finley in the Nov. 11 edition of the TDN, Sackatoga Stable’s Tiz the Law (Constitution) will train on in 2021 as a 4-year-old, with the $3-million GI Pegasus World Cup Invitational at Gulfstream Park Jan. 23. In a release pushed across its social media channels Thursday afternoon, Sackatoga announced that Manny Franco, who had ridden Tiz the Law to victories in the GI Curlin Florida Derby, GI Belmont S. and GI Runhappy Travers S. and to a runner-up effort to Authentic (Into Mischief) in the GI Kentucky Derby, would be replaced by Hall of Fame jockey John Velazquez.

In last Saturday’s GI Longines Breeders’ Cup Classic, Tiz the Law broke alertly from gate two, but was taken hold of by Franco to sit behind the pacesetting Authentic. He came under pressure with about three furlongs to race and could make no late impact, finishing sixth as the 3.20-1 favorite.

When asked during a Tuesday interview if a change in the saddle could be coming, Sackatoga Managing Partner Jack Knowlton told Finley: “I think that’s certainly on the table. “I don’t think any of us were pleased with his ride. I was in the paddock when [trainer] Barclay [Tagg] talked to Manny and gave him his instructions, how he wanted to see him ride him and where he wanted him to put the horse in the race. Unfortunately, that did not happen.”

Franco’s agent, Hall of Fame jockey Angel Cordero, also booked mounts for Velazquez for better than 25 years, but the two parted ways earlier this year. Cordero was not shocked at Thursday’s developments.

“It was not a surprise to me,” he told Finley. “I knew as soon as Manny got beat on him he was going to be removed. I am grateful that they gave us the opportunity to ride him. We won some big, important races on him that put us on the map. Maybe one day we’ll get another horse like him. He’s a good horse. Not too many people get to ride a horse like that.”
