Hong Kong Jockey Club chief Winfried Engelbrecht-Bresges has called a review of the Hong Kong International Sale after a string of disappointing results at last Friday's auction at Sha Tin. Six of the 21 horses in the catalogue were withdrawn before the sale on veterinary advice and the average for the sale dropped by 9%. Furthermore, only five of the 15 lots that sold made their presale cost, resulting in a loss of HK$8.82 million. Speaking to the South China Morning Post, “It's simple-disappointing. I'm especially disappointed about the number of horses who had to be withdrawn. This is a number which, in my view, needs a complete review. “When you look statistically, you would have to expect that 25 per cent, maybe 30 per cent, will not make it. But we are way beyond that, so you have to factor in the whole chain–is it from the buying, do we always buy the right pedigrees, what is the preparation?” Engelbrecht-Bresges continued, “The market has changed and when the market changes, you have to see if what you do is still the right thing to do and you have to think how you put a value proposition there. So, it's one thing when you get the withdrawal of horses, which definitely makes it not very sustainable, but the other one is to step back and say how the market has changed. You need to make an analysis and see what you do.” The post HKJC Chief Calls Review Of “Disappointing” International Sale appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

Longtime horseman Andre Lynch has died of cancer at age 52. His death was announced on social media Tuesday morning by Paramount Sales's Lesley Campion. A GoFundMe for Lynch, created in support of his care in February, reads: “A lifelong, outdoors and active horseman, Andre started his career in Ireland with Pat Doyle at Holycross, then to David Magnier at Grange Stud, finished his diploma at the Irish National Stud and then on to Pat O' Kelly at Kilcarn Stud. Then came his move to the US and his tenure of 21 years with Coolmore Stud before taking over management of Chief Stipe and Felicia Branham's Hurricane Hills Farm in 2017 where he has worked until his illness became prohibitive.” Lynch is survived by his two daughters, Emma, 8, and Catherine, 4. Campion noted as of Tuesday morning that funeral details were still pending. “I have known Andre since he arrived on Lexington Blue Grass Day in 1995,” said Lynch's longtime friend Ken Donworth, who also advocated for his GoFundMe. “We've been great friends ever since. I was lucky to work with him at Creekview Farm in Paris, where Dermot [Ryan] was the manager before he moved to Coolmore's Ashford Stud. Andre and I were barn foremen, and it was a great experience. We managed some great mares and learned a lot about each other. We also explored the social scene in Paris at a young age, which was a tremendous experience. Andre went on to work at Ashford Stud with Dermot in the office, and I went a different direction from the horse business. We have remained friends every since. He was the best man in my wedding and he is the Godfather of my son Patrick, and he was very good to him over the years. Andre was a very generous guy. He would give you the shirt off his back. He would take care of others before he would take care of himself. I cannot say enough good words about him; I know what happened over the last three months. It has been a fantastic reach out from everybody who has known Andre over the years, and it helped him get through the last couple of months. He passed comfortably and not in any pain, with a very peaceful mind that the girls would be taken care of with the fundraiser. It's a true testament to the horse business and community that everyone helped out.” This story will be updated.

The Irish National Stud's Shouldvebeenaring (GB) is the latest young sire that is reported to have his first mares scanned in foal. Among them is Newmarket maiden winner Ultra Violet and Louisa May, a half-sister to stakes winner Dubara, from the family of Milan and Karpino. Additionally, Irish Madam, a full sister to Strath Burn, has been confirmed in foal. Cathal Beale, CEO of the Irish National Stud, commented, “Shouldvebeenaring has been enthusiastically received by Irish breeders, and we are impressed with the quality of mares in his first book. “Among them are proven stakes producers such as Margaret's Mission, Naruko, Zawiyah, and Big Break, to name just a few. He has adapted seamlessly to his new role, a true testament to his outstanding temperament.” The post First Mares Scanned In Foal To Young Sire Shouldvebeenaring appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
