Breeders’ Cup Buzz Presented By Del Mar Ship & Win: Taking The Breeders’ Cup Global

The Breeders' Cup is a traveling show, usually changing locations on a yearly basis, but what if the event cast a wider net?

In the Breeders' Cup Buzz, we're asking some notable Thoroughbred industry names about their experiences with the event and a few hypothetical questions tied to the races.

This time around, we asked Breeders' Cup participants to name their preferred destination if the event were ever held outside of North America. For the purposes of the exercise, it would be assumed that the tracks would install whatever surfaces would be needed to card all of the Breeders' Cup's main track and turf races, if necessary.

Jack Wolf – Starlight Racing

“Meydan Race Course. As much as Sheikh Mohammed has put into the game, and the show he's put on there, at his expense, I think that would be a pretty cool place to have one, once we get back to normal.”

 

 

 

Doug Cauthen – Three Chimneys

“Longchamp. It's such an iconic and historic place. I think everyone wants to see that facility anyway, and it would be a good reason for more Americans to go see it.”

 

 

 

 

 

Carlos Martin – Trainer

“Longchamp. I'd love to go there for a Breeders' Cup, especially if I were Chad Brown and had all his turf horses.”

 

 

 

Jerry Crawford – Donegal Racing

“I'm going to say The Curragh. It's just a beautiful place, and it's unique. Kentucky Downs reminds me of it.”

CLICK HERE TO READ THIS EDITION OF THE PR SPECIAL

The 2020 yearling auction season comes to a close with the Fasig-Tipton Kentucky October Yearlings Sale, and the Paulick Report has the reading material you need in the sale preview edition of the PR Special.

In this edition, bloodstock editor Joe Nevills examines the elite fraternity of sires who had a North American classic winner in their first crop. This year's Triple Crown saw the club add two new members in Constitution, sire of Belmont Stakes winner Tiz the Law, and Daredevil, sire of Preakness Stakes winner Swiss Skydiver.

The Stallion Spotlight turns on Fast Anna, with Tom Hamm of Three Chimneys describing what makes the son of Medaglia d'Oro appealing for potential breeders. Then, Nevills polls the members of the sales grounds about their favorite sports teams in this issue's edition of INQUIRY.

Bryce Burton of Muirfield Insurance discusses protections important for consignors on the sales grounds in the latest edition of Ask Your Insurer. Finally, we take a look at the rookie stallions represented in the October sale catalog 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.
