Breeders’ Futurity Draws Field Of 13 Juveniles Hoping For A Ticket To Del Mar

L and N Racing and Winchell Thoroughbreds' Stellar Tap and Michael McLoughlin's Kevin's Folly head a field of 13 2-year-olds entered for the Claiborne Breeders' Futurity (G1).

Slated as the ninth race with a 5:15 p.m. post time, the Claiborne Breeders' Futurity is a “Win and You're In” race for the $2 million TVG Breeders' Cup Juvenile (G1) Presented by Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance to be run Nov. 5 at Del Mar.

Stellar Tap already has earned a spot in racing history. When he won at first asking Aug. 7 at Saratoga, he became the 9,446th winner for trainer Steve Asmussen to make him the all-time leading conditioner in North America surpassing the late Dale Baird.

In his most recent start, Stellar Tap finished fifth as the favorite in the Iroquois (G3) at Churchill going 1 1/16 miles. Ricardo Santana Jr. has the mount from post position three.

Kevin's Folly also won at first asking at Saratoga and followed that with a third-place finish in the Hopeful (G1) for trainer Tom Amoss. Kevin's Folly got a feel for the Keeneland surface Oct. 2 by working 5 furlongs in :59.40.

He will be ridden Saturday by Flavien Prat out of post position 12.

No Never No More Relocated To Pleasant Acres Stallions In Florida For 2022

Pleasant Acres Stallions is pleased to announce the son of Scat Daddy – No Never No More – will stand in Florida for the 2022 breeding season with a $2,500 fee.

Scat Daddy (Johannesburg / Love Style, by Mr. Prospector) was a multiple Grade 1 winner of $1,334,300. The sire of eight crops of racing age, he has had 134 stakes winners, 15 champions, and 791 winners who have earned a combined $93,255,766. According to BloodHorse MarketWatch data, in 2018, 24 of the 31 Scat Daddy 2-year-olds sold for $11,976,015.

“No Never No More is a handsome, athletic individual with a lovely head and kind eye. He exudes pure class as his pedigree would suggest,” said owner Irwin Olian of Tigertail Ranch.

No Never No More's first dam, Whosetheclownnow (Tiznow / Comical Cat, by Exceller) is by Tiznow, an exceptional racehorse who was on the board 14 out of 15 starts and finished his career at almost $6.5 million. A remarkable son of one of California's most successful sires, Cee's Tizzy, Tiznow is the only two-time Breeders' Cup Classic winner.

Retired last year from breeding, Tiznow was on the stallion roster for WinStar for almost 20 years with a stud fee that peaked at $75,000. Upon his retirement, his daughters had produced 37 stakes winners including Tiz the Law – winner of the Grade 1 Curlin Florida Derby, the G1 Champagne Stakes, the Belmont Stakes, and the G1 Runhappy Travers Stakes.

Whosetheclownnow is a half-sister to Cat's Eye Witness (Elusive Quality / Comical Cat, by Exceller) who produced $752,077 in progeny earnings with three winners out of four starters. She is the dam of No Nay Never (Scat Daddy / Cat's Eye Witness, by Elusive Quality) who was on the board six out of six starts with four firsts and two seconds.

A precocious athlete, No Nay Never broke his maiden in his first attempt and then went on to win the G2 Norfolk Stakes in Ascot and the G1 Darley Pix Morny in Deauville with his next two starts. A champion first-crop sire of 2018 and the sire of a champion from his first crop, No Nay Never stands in Ireland at Coolmore for €125,000. His yearlings in 2021 sold for up to $450,000.

No Never No More joins stallions Amira's Prince, Breaking Lucky, Bucchero, Curlin's Honor, Gunnevera, Handsome Mike, Long On Value, Neolithic, Ride On Curlin, and Sweetontheladies, at the 220-acre farm located just northwest of Ocala.

Pleasant Acres Stallions has received many accolades for excellence, including 2017 Florida Freshman Sire of the Year for Poseidon's Warrior, 2017 DRF Florida-bred Beyer Award, 2009 Florida Breeder of the Year, 2009 Florida Broodmare of the Year, Breeder of the 2009 Florida Horse of the Year, and was ranked third in the nation for leading breeders in 2009 by average earnings per starter with 10 or more starters.

Pennsylvania Leaderboard Presented By Pennsylvania Horse Breeders Association: Jump Start Remains On Top By Stallion Incentive Earnings

Pennsylvania's stallion ranks have seen one name dominate the top of the list over the past decade, and that hasn't changed for the late stalwart Jump Start in 2021.

Jump Start sits atop the standings by Pennsylvania stallion incentive earnings through July 31 with $91,829, well ahead of second-place Weigelia at $68,601.

Pennsylvania stallion awards are generated from 10 percent of the purse share earned when a registered Pennsylvania-bred and -sired runner finishes first, second, or third in any pari-mutuel race in the state. Over $615,000 in stallion awards had been awarded through July 2021.

What makes Jump Start's leading margin so impressive is that he's done it so far with a consistent group of runners, as opposed to one standout doing most of the heavy lifting.

Jump Start's leading earner of stallion awards through July 31 was Hey Mamaluke, whose $7,275 in awards for his sire was the eighth-most in the state.

The 5-year-old jumped to the top of the list for his sire in his seasonal debut on June 22, a visually impressive triumph in the Power By Far Stakes at Parx Racing. Hey Mamaluke races as a homebred for Joe Capriglione, and he's trained by Patricia Farro.

Jump Start's second-highest stallion award earner, and his top filly, was Amen Sylvia, who made $5,761 for her stallion in the time frame.

A 5-year-old homebred for Lydee D. Shea, Amen Sylvia finished in the top three in five races at Penn National through the end of July, including a maiden special weight victory in May, and an allowance score in July.

Jump Start, a Grade 2-winning son of A.P. Indy, began his stallion career at Overbrook Farm in Kentucky, then relocated to Ghost Ridge Farm in Felton, Pa., for the 2010 breeding season. He was moved to Northview PA in Peach Bottom, Pa., in 2012, all the while also establishing himself as a top sire in Argentina during the Southern Hemisphere breeding seasons, and he was euthanized in 2019 due to complications from colitis.

If Jump Start can hold on to the lead by stallion earnings for the rest of the year, it will be his seventh consecutive year at the top of the chart, and his eighth in a row finishing second or better.
