Grade 1 Winner Annals Of Time To Enter Stud In Argentina

Annals of Time, a two-time Grade 1 winner on the turf, will begin his stallion career at Haras Vadarkblar in Argentina during the recently-started Southern Hemisphere breeding season, the South American publication Turf Diario reports.

The 7-year-old son of Temple City retired with five wins in eight starts for earnings of $860,300, highlighted by victories in the Grade 1 Hollywood Derby and Sword Dancer Stakes. He also finished third in the G3 Hill Prince Stakes as a 3-year-old.

Annals of Time is unraced since his Sword Dancer win during last year's Saratoga meet, where he ran for trainer Chad Brown and the partnership of Klaravich Stables and William Lawrence. The horse was then bought in full by Seth Klarman of Klaravich Stables for $190,000 at last year's Keeneland November Breeding Stock Sale when he and Lawrence dissolved their partnership on several of their veteran runners.

Bred in Kentucky by Monticule, Annals of Time is out of the winning Distant View mare Lemon Haze, whose runners also include stakes winner Sharp Sally. German Group 3 winner Al Mundhir is in his extended family.

Annals of Time was purchased by Klaravich and Lawrence for $80,000 at the 2014 Fasig-Tipton Kentucky Fall Yearling Sale, making for a highly successful buy as his career came to a close.

Shadwell Farm’s Tamarkuz Notches First Winner At Colonial Downs

Breeders' Cup Dirt Mile winner Tamarkuz of Shadwell Farm was represented by his first winner at stud on Wednesday when Cool Enough won a maiden claiming race at Colonial Downs, BloodHorse reports.

Cool Enough led every step of the way in the 5 1/2-furlong race that was rained out from the turf to the main track, and the gray or roan filly's lead extended to 5 1/4 lengths at the wire under jockey Forest Boyce. They stopped the clock in 1:05.13 over a fast main track for owners Rashid's Thoroughbred Racing and Kingdom Bloodstock, Inc., and trainer Phil Schoenthal.

A Virginia-bred from the program of Morgan's Ford Farm, Cool Enough is out of the unplaced Macho Uno mare Make Waves. The dam ran as a homebred for the Morgan's Ford operation, as did second dam Skipstone. Cool Enough was already a historic horse for Tamarkuz, as the stallion's first starter back in May at Churchill Downs.

Tamarkuz, a 10-year-old son of Speightstown, stands at Shadwell Farm in Lexington, Ky., for an advertised fee of $10,000.

A winner in eight of 20 starts for earnings of $1,840,444, Tamarkuz is best known on the racetrack for his victory in the 2016 Breeders' Cup Dirt Mile at Santa Anita Park. Prior to moving to the U.S., Tamarkuz picked up victories in the U.A.E. in the Grade 2 Godolphin Mile, and the G3 Firebreak Stakes and Burj Nahaar. His U.S. resume also includes runner-up efforts in the G1 Forego Stakes and G2 Kelso Handicap.

Bred in Kentucky by John D. Gunther, Tamarkuz is out of the unraced Lemon Drop Kid mare Without You Babe, making him a half-brother to Without Parole, a Group 1 winner at the prestigious Royal Ascot meeting. His extended family includes Grade 1 winner Stay Thirsty and Grade 3 winner Andromeda's Hero.

Japanese Star, Veteran U.S. Sire Hat Trick Dies In Brazil At Age 19

Hat Trick, a champion in Japan and veteran sire in North and South America, died in his stall shortly after covering a mare Monday at Haras Springfield in Brazil, the South American publication Turf Diario reports.

The 19-year-old son of Sunday Silence was just kicking off the Southern Hemisphere breeding season, which begins in August. He had resided in Brazil since 2017.

Born in Japan, out of the Grade 2-winning Lost Code mare Tricky Code, Hat Trick raced for four seasons, primarily in his native country, where he took the Group 1 Mile Championship and was named Japan's champion miler of 2005. His international sojourns included a successful trip to Hong Kong for the G1 Hong Kong Mile.

Hat Trick retired to Walmac Farm in Lexington, Ky., for the 2008 breeding season, making him the first son of North American Horse of the Year and Japanese breed-shaper Sunday Silence to stand stateside. His first runners took off quickly, led by Dabirsim, who was named Europe's champion 2-year-old and France's Horse of the Year in 2011.

The fast start caught the attention of the Gainesway operation, which bought in heavily on the stallion and moved him across Paris Pike to its own farm for the 2012 breeding season. Hat Trick resided at Gainesway until the conclusion of the 2017 season, when he was sold to stand in Brazil.

Though Dabirsim was by far Hat Trick's standout runner during his time at stud in the U.S., he was also represented at the highest levels domestically by King David, winner of the G1 Jamaica Handicap at Belmont Park.

Also noteworthy was the achievement of Bright Thought, who set a world record for a mile and a half in the G2 San Luis Rey Stakes at Santa Anita Park in 2013, covering the distance in 2:22.72. The record stood for just a week before being surpassed by Twilight Eclipse in the G2 Pan American Stakes at Gulfstream Park, where he stopped the clock in 2:22.63.

Hat Trick's reputation in South America preceded his arrival in Brazil, having shuttled to Argentina for three Southern Hemisphere seasons in 2009, 2010, and 2012.

His Southern Hemisphere-born runners are led by Hat Puntano, who won the G1 Gran Criterium and Argentine 2,000 Guineas before moving to South Africa, where he became a Group 2 winner and sire.
