John Stewart's Resolute Racing farm in central Kentucky, located on the grounds of the former Shadayid Stud, will be expanded to include a new training facility, Stewart said on Nick Luck's Live From Royal Ascot podcast Tuesday. “It's our second year [on the farm],” said Stewart. “Last year we bred 31 mares, this year we bred over 50. We've got some fantastic diversity on the farm and we're really excited about that. We've got out first yearlings that were bred on the farm coming up so next year they'll be 2-year-olds. So it's all coming along pretty well. We've grown the farm from 800 acres to 1,300 acres and we're planning to build a training center on the property. So it's going pretty well.” Stewart's farm roster includes a who's who of successful race mares and broodmares led perhaps most notably by Puca (Big Brown), the dam of GI Kentucky Derby winner Mage (Good Magic), GI Belmont Stakes winner Dornoch (Good Magic) and this year's MGISP Baeza (McKinzie). His aforementioned yearlings are by top international stallions such as Wootton Bassett (GB), Siyouni (Fr) and Frankel (GB) while his American-bred yearlings feature the full-brother to Mage and Dornoch along with a Flightline half-sister to 2-year-old champion Forte (Violence). “You can't just get involved in racing and want to win” he said. “Because then you're just taking from the sport. If you're going to get involved in something, you have to get involved with all aspects of the sport and you have to want to support everything. For me, that's competing on a global stage. I think it's important to be in these historic venues. Ascot is definitely at the top of the list of races I want to compete in. So much so that I'm building a replica of the mile uphill on my farm. I specifically bought an additional farm because it has a 1 1/2-mile of property so I can build a proper uphill gallop. I think if we want horses to come over here [to Ascot] and race, you have to train them in environment you want them to compete in.” Asked by Luck if Resolute would keep an in-house trainer on site or if the facility would only include pre-training, Stewart said, “Not going to go with my own trainer. I'm going to require every trainer that wants to train with me to have a division at my training center. I'm going to keep all my horses there in America and I'll ship them to the races just like they do at [Coolmore's] Ballydoyle. We're building a training center with 400 stalls. It's going to be state of the art. I'm going to take the Ballydoyle concept and take all the latest technology and implement it and try to up the game. There's a lot of incremental things we can learn from sports science. So much we want the horses to be athletes but we treat them still like farm animals. I think there's a lot of opportunity to makes things more competitive and to give the horses every opportunity and also to take care of [their] wellness from a training standpoint.” The post ‘I’m Going To Take The Ballydoyle Concept’: Stewart Plans New Training Center appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

There is always a story at Royal Ascot and this year's meeting opener, the G1 Queen Anne Stakes, delivered an immediate slice of drama as Harry Eustace trainee Docklands (Massaat) provided the Newmarket conditioner with a thrilling first Group 1 triumph, by a pixel, despite Australian rider Mark Zahra dropping his whip in the closing stages of the straight one-mile test. Last year's runner-up, a 14-1 chance, was the last of 10 into stride and settled into a smooth rhythm off a moderate pace towards the rear through halfway in this sixth Group 1 start. Weaving a passage into contention with a quarter-mile remaining, he quickened smartly to seize a narrow advantage entering the final furlong and refused to yield as last year's G1 Irish 2000 Guineas and G1 St James's Palace hero Rosallion (Blue Point) lunged late to call the judge's magnifying glass into early action. Refai Alghraiban's 100-1 outsider and Alice Haynes nominee Cairo (Quality Road), who ran eighth last year, flashed home late to finish 1 3/4 lengths adrift of the protagonists in third. “I didn't want to worry about the whip rules, so chucked the stick away,” joked Zahra in the immediate aftermath.

Bernie Sams will be launching a new venture, BF Sams Bloodstock Advisory, according to a press release from the new venture this morning. Drawing upon his extensive experience working for some of the world's top Thoroughbred farms, Sams said he would offer a variety of consulting services, including broodmare band management, advice on matings, purchases of stallion seasons and shares, securing equine insurance, and more. Born in Louisville, Kentucky, Sams began working with Thoroughbreds while attending the University of Kentucky. Early in his career, he worked at Wimbledon Farm, Haras de Roiville in France, Manchester Farm Lexington, and Overbrook Farm, as well as managing stallions at Gainesway. In 2003, Sams began his tenure at Claiborne Farm, where he served as Bloodstock and Stallion Manager. His role included assisting in buying and syndicating new stallions, managing the stallions, advertising, helping clients purchase mares to fortify their broodmare bands, consulting on matings, and a host of other duties and responsibilities. Among the successful stallions Sams managed at Claiborne were Pulpit, Arch, Flatter, Blame and War Front, one of the most accomplished sires in recent history. “I'm very excited to begin this new venture,” said Sams. “Claiborne was very good to me over the past 20-plus years and I look forward to the next chapter. I'm also happy to see my son, little Bernie, showing a passion for the Thoroughbred industry, so I'm hoping in the next few years he'll join me in this new endeavor.” Bernie Sams can be reached at bfsams1959@gmail.com.
