INQUIRY Presented By Iowa Thoroughbred Breeders And Owners Association: Back To School

Whether it's backed by a diploma or a lifetime of experience, just about anyone in the horse racing industry could profess themselves to be an expert in something.

In this edition of INQUIRY, we ask the folks on the sales grounds to choose how they'd share that expertise with the world by asking the question, “If you taught a college course about horse racing, what would it be called?”

Catherine Parke – Valkyre Stud

“'Training A Racehorse, And Its Care.”

 

 

 

 

Tommy Eastham – Legacy Bloodstock

“It would be called 'Nonverbal Communication,' or 'Being Sensitive.' Communicating with this beast (the horse) without being able to go up and talk to them. Probably the biggest thing I see people miss with their horse care is it's not a 'to do' list. It's more of an art. Before you make a plan, you need to take a look at that horse, figure out its emotional state, try to figure out what's bothering it. The best way is to communicate with it.”

 

 

Conrad Bandoroff – Denali Stud

“'Horse Racing Economics.' You could look at how the market for horses mirrors the stock market. You could do some analytical data into economic trends in the horse business, and just showcase how large of an industry it is, and the size and scope of it.”

 

 

 

Katelyn Jackson – Elite Sales

“'Save Ground: How To Pick Your Spot.”'

 

 

 

 

 

Alfred Nuckols, Jr. – Hurstland Farm

“'Risk and Reward.' The class would be about trying to evaluate pedigrees. I like proven horses, but the risk market and reward market seem to be with a lot of these early horses, so I guess what you need to do is teach about these nice horses with pedigrees coming off the racetrack that everyone wants to breed to the first year.”

 

 

 

Bob Feld – Bobfeld Bloodstock

“It would be 'Handicapping 101.' For anyone in this business, it's the gambling and action that really drives the whole machinery.”

PR Special Breeders’ Cup Edition: Freshman Sire Race Reaches Its Lightning Round

CLICK HERE TO READ THIS EDITION OF THE PR SPECIAL

The Breeders' Cup is a celebration of the Thoroughbred industry's achievements on the racetrack, and on farms around the world, and the Paulick Report puts the spotlight on both in a unique Breeders' Cup edition of the PR Special.

In this edition, bloodstock editor Joe Nevills counts down the horses by freshman sires in each of Friday's five Breeders' Cup races for 2-year-olds. A win by one of their runners can turn the 2020 freshman sire race upside down, or put a leader out of reach for the rest of the year.

Nevills then examines all 14 championship races and identifies the most expensive auction graduate in each field. In INQUIRY, we have the members of the sales grounds go back to school, asking them what the name of their class on horse racing would be, if they taught one.

This issue's Ask Your Insurer sees Bryce Burton of Muirfield Insurance discuss coverage for in-utero foals purchased at auction. Then, Erin O'Keefe of BTE Stables goes over what to look for in a weanling-to-yearling pinhook prospect, especially on a budget. Finally, we see which stallions are represented by the most entries in the championship races this weekend in Breeders' Cup Sire Watch.

INQUIRY Presented By Iowa Thoroughbred Breeders And Owners Association: Favorite Sports Teams On The Sales Grounds?

Horse racing tiptoes the line between sport and business, but when its participants look outside of racing for entertainment, where do they go?

In this edition of INQUIRY, we see who participants in the bloodstock industry cheer for away from the racetrack by asking the question, “What is your favorite sports team?”

Donato Lanni – Hill 'n' Dale Farms

“My favorite team is the Chicago Blackhawks. It's an electric place to go watch a game, and I met and got to know Joel Quenneville, their [former] coach, through John Sikura, and John's nephew played for the Blackhawks, so it's nice to see that all come together. Denis Savard, Eddie Olczyk, a lot of those Blackhawks seem to like the horse business. You see them out in the grandstand, and it's pretty cool.”

 

 

 

Mark Taylor – Taylor Made Sales Agency

“The Clemson Tigers. I went to Clemson, and if you went to Clemson, it's a cult, and once you get indoctrinated, you can't get it out of your blood. I live, breathe, eat, sleep Clemson football. I went down there a basketball fan because I'm from Kentucky, but I came out a football fan.”

 

 

Stuart Morris – Morris Bloodstock Services

“University of Kentucky basketball, man. If you've gotta ask twice, don't ask me again.”

 

 

 

 

Carrie Brogden – Machmer Hall Sales

“I'm going to have to go with the James Madison University Dukes, which is my alma mater. They are a basketball school. We used to go to all their games when I was young and it was great fun.”

 

 

 

Hanzly Albina – Blake-Albina Thoroughbred Services

“I don't really follow sports. Horse racing is my sport.”

 

 

 

 

 

Craig Bernick – Glen Hill Farm

“I like the Chicago Cubs because they used to play in the daytime, so you'd come home from school and watch the last few innings. The minute I got my driver's license, I was driving up there, parking my car, and buying tickets. I learned how to scalp tickets a little bit, and just spent a lot of time in that area. When I went to college, it was the one team that was still on TV, so I could follow them. They've always been my favorite team, by far.”
