The major mixed auction kicks off a big couple of weeks starting with the Sunday's Fasig-Tipton November Sale, and the Paulick Report has the reading material you need for the day in the PR Special.

This issue – featuring exclusive content not yet seen on the website – sees bloodstock editor Joe Nevills examining the recently released Jockey Club Report of Mares Bred to see which stallions made the biggest year-to-year jumps in the number of mares they covered in 2020.

The Stallion Spotlight shines on Shadwell Farm's Qurbaan, a multiple Grade 2-winning son of Speightstown who completed his first season at stud in 2020. In this issue's installment of INQUIRY, we ask folks on the sales grounds about their favorite music to listen to on the road, and get a wide range of results.

Dr. Charlie Scoggin of Rood and Riddle Equine Hospital discusses the cap on stud book size for colts born in 2020 or later from his professional perspective in Ask Your Veterinarian. Then, Bryce Burton of Muirfield Insurance explains how your equine insurance plan interacts with equine loans in Ask Your Insurer. Finally, Nevills takes a dive through the Fasig-Tipton November catalog to focus on the rookie stallions in First Crop Sire Watch.

Three Chimneys Reduces Stud Fees for 2021

Three Chimneys Farm is the second stud farm in as many days to release a roster of reduced stud fees for the 2021 season due to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. The historic farm’s 2021 roster is headlined by Horse of the Year Gun Runner (Candy Ride {Arg}) at $50,000 LFS&N. The six-time Grade I winner, who was represented by his first yearlings this season, stood for $70,000 in 2020.

“The industry finds itself in unusual times,” said Three Chimneys Chairman Goncalo Torrealba. “One can take comfort in knowing that notwithstanding the challenges of this past year, the thoroughbred industry proved that it can adapt by working together. In that spirit, we have made the decision to lower stud fees for the upcoming breeding season to accommodate fellow breeders.”

Palace Malice (Curlin) was up from $15,000 in 2019 to $25,000 in 2020 courtesy of Structor, a colt from his first-crop who won the GI Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Turf last year. He was reduced to $20,000 LFS&N for 2021.

New to the roster is the recently retired Grade I winner Volatile (Violence), who was given an introductory fee of $17,500 LFS&N.

The rest of the 2021 roster is as follows with all fees LFS&N: Fast Anna (Medaglia d’Oro), dropped from $10,000 to $5,000; Sky Mesa (Pulpit) who went from $15,000 to $12,500; Sharp Azteca (Freud), reduced from $10,000 to $6,500; champion Will Take Charge (Unbridled’s Song), cut from $15,000 to $5,000; and Funtastic (More Than Ready), who remains at $5,000.

Gun Runner Leads Three Chimneys’ 2021 Stallion Roster

Three Chimneys Farm announced its stud fees and roster for the 2021 breeding season.

“The industry finds itself in unusual times,” said Three Chimneys Chairman Gonçalo Torrealba. “One can take comfort in knowing that notwithstanding the challenges of this past year, the Thoroughbred industry proved that it can adapt by working together. In that spirit, we have made the decision to lower stud fees for the upcoming breeding season to accommodate fellow breeders.”

Horse of the Year Gun Runner enjoyed extraordinary success in the sales ring again this year with 40 yearlings averaging $267,750, with yearlings selling for up to $775,000. He was the leading first-crop sire at both Fasig-Tipton and Keeneland September.

As a group, his yearlings were consistently well-balanced, athletic and looked precocious and fast. The right buyers signed the tickets which means they will end up in the hands of the world's best trainers. The farm holds high hopes for the six-time Grade 1 winning son of Candy Ride.

Palace Malice ended last year with a Grade 1 winner in Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf winner Structor who was hammered down as a 2-year-old for $850,000. He was one of five first crop stakes winners along with other Graded Stakes Winners Mr. Monomoy and Fly on Angel.

“Three Chimneys is also very pleased to introduce Volatile as the newest addition to the roster,” said Three Chimneys board member Doug Cauthen. “An absolutely gorgeous horse who sold as a yearling for $850,000, he truly has what every commercial breeder is looking for – brilliant speed, a top pedigree and a great physical. His sire Violence, the likely successor to Medaglia d'Oro, is currently the leading sire of Grade 1 winners this year. His pedigree further recommends him as a stallion being out of a stakes-winning Unbridled's Song daughter of the legendary and lightning fast Lady Tak.

“The model of consistency as a racehorse, Volatile posted a 112 Beyer, the fastest of the year, while winning the Aristides at Churchill by eight lengths, stopping the clock for six panels in 1:07.57,” Cauthen continued. “His win in the Grade 1 Vanderbilt at Saratoga, against a field loaded with all Grade 1 winners, saw him with the fastest final quarter in the history of the race.”

The 2021 fees are as follows:

Gun Runner – $50,000 LFS&N

Palace Malice – $20,000 LFS&N

Volatile (NEW) – $17,500 LFS&N

Sky Mesa – $12,500

Sharp Azteca – $6,500 LFS&N

Fast Anna – $5,000 LFS&N

Will Take Charge – $5,000 LFS&N

Funtastic – $5,000 LFS&N

Recent Claim Fly On Angel Wires Field In Charles Town Oaks

Fly On Angel, claimed for $50,000 out of her last start at Parx Racing on Aug. 10, made a quick return on owner Joseph Besecker's investment with a wire-to-wire victory under Fredy Peltroche in Friday night's $200,000, Grade 3 Charles Town Oaks in West Virginia.

Wicked Whisper closed to within a half-length at the wire to finish second, a nose ahead of Princess Cadey in third, with Ankle Monitor fourth and 7-5 favorite Tonalist's Shape – who had to check sharply along the rail in the stretch – finishing fifth in the field of nine 3-year-old fillies.

Trained by Claudio Gonzalez, the winner is a daughter of Palace Malice out of Runge, by Posse, bred in Kentucky by Machmer Hall and Haymarket Farm. She covered seven furlongs on a fast track in 1:26.15 (after setting quick fractions of :22.81, :46.25 and 1:11.89 around the six-furlong oval) and paid $20.20 as a 9-1 outsider.

The victory was the fourth in nine starts and first in a black-type race for Fly On Angel, whose best previous stakes performance came in the Parx Juvenile Fillies last Nov. 4. She was a two-length wire-to-wire winner of the Aug. 10 race from which she was claimed for her former trainer, Guadalupe Preciado. Her previous owner, Nicholas Cammarano, purchased Fly On Angel for $23,000 at Fasig-Tipton's Midlantic Sale of 2-year-olds in training.

“We're really happy. All the fillies ran good,” said Gonzalez, who also sent out the third- and fourth-place finishers. “You don't know if they're going to like the track but they all did, especially Fly On Angel. I was a little worried because it's not easy to go :22 and :46. You just heard it's a [stakes] record and I was a little worried but when she got into the stretch she got four in front and I said 'come on' and we got lucky she held it.”

Fly On Angel earned $116,400 for the win.
