Desert Party Sold To Stand In Saudi Arabia

Desert Party (Street Cry – Sage Cat by Tabasco Cat), a top 2-year-old and a proven stakes-producing sire, has been sold to continue his stud career in Saudi Arabia in a deal brokered by Chad Schumer of Schumer Bloodstock.

A $2.1-million 2-year-old purchase by John Ferguson on behalf of Godolphin, Desert Party wasted little time in living up to his lofty reputation with a commanding win the Grade 2 Sanford Stakes at Saratoga. At three, he was the impressive winner of the G3 UAE 2,000 Guineas and second in the G2 UAE Derby, and returned at four to win the G3 Mahab Al Shimaal.

One of the best sired by Street Cry, Desert Party retired to stud as the winner of six races and close to $1 million in earnings.

Desert Party, who stood the past season at Godstone Farm in Pennsylvania, is the sire of seven stakes winners including G3 winner Salama and multiple stakes scorers Heart's Song and Aunt Babe.

Wooderson, Half To Rachel Alexandra, To Enter Stud At Burdette Thoroughbred Farm In Arkansas

Wooderson (Awesome Again – Lotta Kim) has been acquired for stud duty by Burdette Thoroughbred Farm, Goshen, Ark., in a deal brokered by Chad Schumer of Schumer Bloodstock.

A half-brother to champion Rachel Alexandra, Wooderson was also a talented horse whose race record includes three wins and a stakes place to subsequent Grade 1 winner Tom's d'Etat.

Trained by Todd Pletcher for Let's Go Stable, Wooderson was a maiden winner at Saratoga and later added wide-margin allowance wins at Keeneland and Monmouth Park. He followed up those wins with an excellent second to Tom's d'Etat in the Alydar Stakes at Saratoga; beaten only a length by Tom's d'Etat, subsequently winner of the Grade 1 Clark Handicap, he pulled almost seven lengths clear of the third to record a 103 Beyer.

Wooderson was the co-highest priced yearling by top sire Awesome Again to sell in 2016 when purchased by Let's Go Stable for $400,000 at Keeneland.

Out of the stakes-winning Roar mare Lotta Kim, he is a half-brother to Horse of the Year Rachel Alexandra, whose 13 wins included the G1 Preakness Stakes, Kentucky Oaks, Haskell Invitational, Mother Goose Stakes and Woodward Stakes.

A stud fee will be announced at a later date.

Lesson Horses: Chad Schumer On Worldly

You never forget the name of your first lesson horse – that horse who taught you what you need to know to work with every one that follows.

In this series, participants throughout the Thoroughbred industry share the names and stories of the horses that have taught them the most about life, revealing the limitless ways that horses can impact the people around them. Some came early on in their careers and helped them set a course for the rest of their lives, while others brought valuable lessons to veterans of the business.

Question: Which horse has taught you the most about life?

Chad Schumer

Chad Schumer of Schumer Bloodstock: Worldly. He taught me about treacherous agents, the actual joy of having a horse in training because he took me to the Breeders' Cup, and how sometimes things happen for a reason, and you don't realize it at the time. More than any other horse, he taught me that.

At the time we bought him, it looked like it was a terrible disaster, and then just a few months later, he took me to the Breeders' Cup. It was an incredible story. I bought this horse for clients, and one agent lied to the people and talked them out of it, so I got stuck with him and it was very scary.

The funny thing was, in January of that year, we went to Santa Anita, and it was Beholder's first start of the year. We were sitting there at Santa Anita and we were kind of fuming. We weren't going to get to go to the Breeders' Cup this year because the timing was so close [with the November sales in Kentucky], and it's hard to come back and still be able to work the sale.

We were sitting having lunch at Santa Anita having this conversation about how bummed we were that we weren't going to go to the Breeders' Cup, and just a few months later, we actually have a horse in the Breeders' Cup and we are there. It was an incredible situation.

About Worldly
(2007, A.P. Indy x Urbane, by Citidancer)

Worldly showed flashes of his talent early on, with a third in the G2 Kentucky Jockey Club Stakes, then he spent some time on the Louisiana branch of the Kentucky Derby trail. He came back in the summer of his 3-year- old season to finish second in the G3 Northern Dancer Stakes and Ohio Derby. He won the listed Prairie Meadows Handicap at four.

Schumer came into possession of the horse in the summer of 2013, and sent him to trainer Brendan Walsh. Worldly finished second in a pair of listed stakes at Prairie Meadows and Remington Park, then he ran third in the Homecoming Classic Stakes at Churchill Downs en route to a start in the Breeders' Cup Marathon at Santa Anita, where he finished third to London Bridge.

Worldly was then sold to race in Saudi Arabia, where he became a stakes winner and successful stallion. His son Alzahzaah is a three-time Group 1 winner in Saudi Arabia, including the vaunted Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques Cup.

PR Special Fasig-Tipton Midlantic Sale: Boyd Browning On The Changing Auction Calendar

CLICK HERE TO READ THIS EDITION OF THE PR SPECIAL

Whether you're on the sales grounds or following along from home or the farm, the Paulick Report has reading material for the Fasig-Tipton Midlantic 2-Year-Olds In Training Sale with a jam-packed online-exclusive edition of the PR Special.

In this issue, Fasig-Tipton president Boyd Browning chats with bloodstock editor Joe Nevills about navigating a hectic spring of cancelling and rescheduling sales through the COVID-19 pandemic, how that affected the upcoming Midlantic sale, and how it guides his expectations for the remainder of the juvenile auction season and beyond in 2020.

The Stallion Spotlight focuses on champion Will Take Charge, with Tom Hamm of Three Chimneys discussing what crosses work best with the young sire, and what sets him apart in a talented class vying to be the last great son of Unbridled's Song at stud.

In Ask Your Veterinarian, Dr. Brad Tanner of Rood and Riddle Equine Hospital tackles the subject of “parrot mouth” in horses, and the ways to correct and manage it.

Nevills takes a walk around the barns to ask industry members about their favorite races they've seen in person in the latest edition of INQUIRY, and then he speaks to bloodstock agent Chad Schumer about how getting stuck with future Breeders' Cup runner Worldly taught him that everything happens for a reason in Lesson Horses. We then dive through the catalog to see who is on offer from the rookie class at the Midlantic sale in First-Crop Sire Watch.

As a small token of our gratitude, we'll be offering one PR Special reader a free Paulick Report baseball cap. Information to sign up for the drawing can be found in the issue.

Thanks to our sponsors for making this issue of the PR Special possible:
