Ashford Stallions Front and Center Sunday in Japan

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 this weekend running at Hanshin and Tokyo Racecourses. Sunday's racing at headquarters features the G3 Unicorn S., a race won in 2020 by future multiple Group 1 scorer Cafe Pharoah (American Pharoah) and which includes the progressive Ju Taro (Arrogate) trying stakes company for the first time. Also in the field are G2 UAE Derby participants Combustion (Jpn) (Discreet Cat) and Sekifu (Jpn) (Henny Hughes):

LA LA GARGOUILLE (c, 3, Classic Empire–Sweet Saturday, by Any Given Saturday), a $150K Keeneland September acquisition, is out of a winning daughter of the stakes-placed Dawn Raid (Vindication), most notably the dam of 2016 GI Preakness S., GI Haskell S. and GI Santa Anita Derby hero Exaggerator (Curlin). The colt's three-times stakes-placed third dam was responsible for Sovereign Award and dual Grade III winner Embur's Song (Unbridled's Song) from this sire line. China Horse Club purchased dam Sweet Saturday for $70K at the 2016 Fasig-Tipton November Sale. B-China Horse Club International Limited (KY)

ADVANCE PHAROAH (c, 2, American Pharoah–Fair Huntress, by Tiznow) was a $140K purchase by trainer Hideyuki Mori at KEESEP last fall and is out of an unraced half-sister to John Gunther's part-owned GIII Chicago H. victress Devil By Design (Medaglia d'Oro). Gunther's name was on the docket when this colt's dam fetched $22K at KEEJAN in 2017 and saw the mare's value increase when Devil By Design's daughter Competitionofideas (Speightstown) won the 2018 GI American Oaks. Yutaka Take has the debut riding assignment. B-John D Gunther & American Pharoah Syndicate (KY)

Got It Made Tops Fasig’s June Digital Selected Sale

Got It Made (Uncle Mo) (Hip 6), offered in foal to Not This Time, topped Fasig-Tipton's June Digital Selected Sale, which closed Thursday afternoon. Consigned by Rosilyn Polan of Sunday Morning Farm, the 5-year-old mare brought $145,000 from David Anderson's Anderson Farms. She hails from the family of MGISW Cavorting (Bernardini), dam of GISW Clairiere (Curlin).

Buyers may still make offers on horses that failed to meet their reserve by visiting the sale page and then clicking “Make Offer” next to the horse they are interested in purchasing. Offers are currently being accepted on the 2-year-old half-sister to undefeated Grade I winner Jack Christopher (Munnings), among others.

Dates for the next digital sale, which will take place in August, will be announced in the coming weeks. Selected horses of racing age and breeding stock will be offered on-site in Lexington, Kentucky, on July 11 at the July Selected Horses of All Ages sale.

Thursday Insights: ‘Talkin’ Horse Tries the Turf

Sponsored by Alex Nichols Agency
5th-BEL, $90K, Msw, 2yo, 5fT, post time: 5:13 p.m. ET
Ranlo Investments' TALKIN PHAROAH (American Pharoah) acquitted himself well enough in his 4 1/2-furlong bow over the Keeneland main track, finishing a well-backed runner-up Apr. 20, but a surface switch is in the offing, and with good reason. The bay colt is the first foal to the races from the Randall Lowe-bred Just Talkin (Midshipman), five times placed in sprint stakes company–four of those on the grass–and a full-sister to the outstanding GSW and GI Breeders' Cup Turf Sprint runner-up Lady Shipman. Lowe parted ways with Just Talkin at Fasig-Tipton February when she fetched $160K from Justin Casse before selling to Mountmellick Farm for $675K with this colt in utero at FTKNOV nine months later. Lady Shipman's foal of 2018, Golden Pal (Uncle Mo), has done more than his fair share of advertising for the family, with victories in the GII Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf Sprint in 2020 and in last year's GI Breeders' Cup Turf Sprint and is headed to the G1 King's Stand S. in a few weeks' time. On behalf of Lowe, trainer Wesley Ward went to $260K for Talkin Pharoah at Keeneland September, having been RNAd for $125K at Fasig-Tipton the previous November.

The success of Stonestreet Stables runners sourced overseas has been well documented and they take the wraps off the filly Lady Wildcat (Ire) (Kodiac {GB}) here. Purchased by Ben McElroy for 160,000gns out of last year's Tattersalls October Sale, the March foal–by the sire of 2021 G1 Commonwealth Cup winner Camnapelle (Ire)–is out of a half-sister to Group 2 winner Priceless (GB) (Exceed and Excel {Aus}), Group 2-placed Doctor Brown (GB) (Dr Fong) and to the dam of Group 3 winner Aeolus (GB) (Araafa {GB}).

Fasig-Tipton’s July Sale Catalogue Released

The catalogue for The July Sale at Fasig-Tipton will feature 302 selected yearlings and has been published online. The July Sale will be held Tuesday, July 12 at Newtown Paddocks in Lexington, beginning at 10 a.m.

“We look forward to leading off yearling sales season with another strong July catalogue of precocious, athletic yearlings,” said Fasig-Tipton President Boyd Browning. “The sale will begin with the Freshman Sire Showcase–a tremendous success last year following its reintroduction–and then transition into the more proven sire-laden segment of the catalogue. We have very strong representation from leading general sires this year.”

The catalogue cover for the sale features recent graduates of both the July Sale and 2020 Selected Yearlings Showcase, Fasig-Tipton's only selected yearling sale in Kentucky that year due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Fasig graduates and GISWs Kalypso (Brody's Cause), Cyberknife (Gun Runner), Grace Adler (Curlin), and Jack Christopher (Munnings) are prominently displayed on the front cover.

“July is the sale to find athletes and the stats bear that out,” said Browning. “Moreover, one only needs to look at this year's catalogue cover to see the strength of graduates generated from Fasig-Tipton's yearling selection process.”

In addition to The July Sale, Fasig-Tipton will also host the July Selected Horses of All Ages Sale Monday, July 11. The sale was recently rebranded to include breeding stock. Nominations are accepted up until sale time.

As well as online at Fasig-Tipton's site, The July Sale catalogue may also be viewed via the Equineline catalogue app. Print catalogues will be available by June 17.
