    • Don't you think those issues could at least be mitigated with a new contemporary irrigation system (though let's see if they've managed to get that right at Riccarton or not), and an appropriate aeration and renovation programme?
    • I met Stuart in 1994 when we worked together for Ben P. Walden Jr. at Vinery. Stuart was the broodmare manager, and I was selling seasons to the Vinery stallions. Stuart managed the 150-plus broodmare band which  encompassed multiple farms. Stuart was also a farrier; he trimmed all the broodmares which added another layer of responsibility. I quickly learned that Stuart was a tireless hard worker with these responsibilities. Over the years I followed Stuart's professional journey to Watercress, Payson Stud and Taylor Made admiring his accomplishments along the way. Stuart was a mentor to a lot of our young people in our industry as we have read this week. He was also a mentor to someone older. I would call Stuart and get his opinion on a value of a broodmare or a stallion for a mating. He was always willing to help and gave great advice. He never asked for anything in return and was always your biggest cheerleader to succeed. This fall, when Stuart started treatments for his illness, he did it his way. When he started the clinical trial at Sarah Cannon Research Institute, he approached it like he did everything in his life. He worked hard to gather all the information he could about the treatment so he would better understand what was before him. He was determined to beat the odds. He wanted to spend as much time as he could with Drew, Alexa and his two grandchildren whom he dearly loved. He never complained, he never said “Why me”, he just buckled down and went to work to beat the odds. It was a sad day when I received the call from Josie telling me that Stuart had passed. I shed more than a few tears because I had lost a dear friend. Stuart touched a lot of lives and made an impact on our industry and life. To honor Stuart's legacy, we should take a page out of his handbook, mentor others, be respectful, smile, laugh, enjoy good food and life. Remember to live the day we are in as there is no guarantee for tomorrow. I love you, brother.

    • In this series, the TDN takes a look at notable successes of European-based sires in North America. This week's column is highlighted by the victory of Notable Speech at Woodbine. Dubawi Classic Winner Shines At Woodbine Godolphin homebred Notable Speech arrived late on the scene to take the GI Rogers Woodbine Mile for Charlie Appleby on September 13 (video). The son of Dubawi won the G1 2,000 Guineas last year and defeated older milers in the G1 Sussex Stakes. He is a son of the group-placed Swift Rose (Invincible Spirit), herself a half-sister to Group 3 winner Desert Wisdom (Dubawi) and to Frankel's GI Natalma Stakes winner Wild Beauty. He has a half-sister to come in juvenile Moonlit Rose (Pinatubo) and a yearling full-sister. Darley's Dubawi has sired 47 winners from 90 runners (52%) in the U.S. and Canada. Notable Speech is his 26th stakes winner and 11th Grade I winner to strike there. Besilu Homebred Graduates In New York Besilu Stables' Noble Dynasty (Kingman) graduated at second asking during the Belmont at the Big A meeting on Saturday (video). Trained by Bill Mott, the homebred juvenile colt is out of Delta's Royalty (Galileo). Second on debut, the maternal grandson of triple Eclipse Award earner Royal Delta (Empire Maker) is a half-brother to the yearling filly Royal Victoria (Into Mischief) and a weanling filly by Gun Runner. Royal Delta, a GI Breeders' Cup Distaff winner, was acquired by Ben Leon's Besilu Stables for $8.5 million to top the 2011 Keeneland November Sale. Delta's Royalty is the only foal out of her champion dam, who died from foaling complications after producing her. Juddmonte's Kingman counts Noble Dynasty as his 49th winner from 84 to race in North America (58%). Domestic Spending is his best there, with a tally in the GI Manhattan Stakes, and he is supported by eight additional stakes winners. Repeat Winners No Show Sammy Jo (Lope De Vega) is now a two-time winner of Laurel Park's All Along Stakes after her victory on September 13 (video). Racing for Bridlewood Farm and Madaket Stables, the five-year-old mare–second in the 2024 GIII Long Island Stakes–is trained by Graham Motion.
