Wandering Eyes

Susan Magnier, Michael Tabor and Derrick Smith’s Nelson (Ire) (Frankel {GB}) enjoyed a profitable juvenile campaign, backing up an Aug. 17 breakthrough score going one mile at this track in his third start with victory in the Sept. 9 G3 Golden Fleece S. over that trip here once more. The bay closed last term with a neck second to subsequent G1 Racing Post Trophy runner-up Roaring Lion (Kitten’s Joy) in the Sept. 30 G2 Royal Lodge S. at Newmarket and carried a three-pound impost for his juvenile highlight in this seasonal return. Sent to the fore after the initial strides and enjoying a comfortable lead until turning for home, he was shaken up inside the two pole and kept on resolutely under continued rousting in the closing stages to withstand the persistent attention of stable companion Delano Roosevelt (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) by a half length and double his black-type tally. Delano Roosevelt had lowered Nelson’s colours when the pair met in their July 27 debuts over one mile at this track, the former earning a ‘TDN Rising Star’ tag for that effort. Fellow ‘TDN Rising Star’ and G1 Racing Post Trophy third The Pentagon (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) was the first of four runners off the bridle, but nonetheless kept on to complete a Ballydoyle trifecta, albeit 8 1/2 lengths further adrift.

With the European Breeze Up season in full flow, the TDN‘s Daithi Harvey caught up with Eamonn O’Connor, who runs the investment scheme Seven Hills Bloodstock. The organisation has a number of interesting juveniles for sale this year, including at this week’s Craven Sale, through Johnny Hassett’s The Bloodstock Connection. TDN: Can you tell us a little bit about Seven Hills Bloodstock and how long you have been in business? EO’C: I founded Seven Hills Bloodstock five years ago. My motivation was twofold: a lifelong interest in the bloodstock sector and a belief that, contrary to popular opinion, it was possible to profit by investing in bloodstock. The business was founded at a time when many investors were looking at ‘alternative’ asset classes; yields on traditional investments were low and there was an appetite for risk, where it could be justified by considerable upside potential. Our ability to manage the downside risk through EIS helped attract initial investors. Our early success allowed us to attract more. In practice, Seven Hills has developed into something of a ‘lifestyle’ investment for its participants. Our investors are fully engaged, attend sales where we are buying or selling, follow closely the progress of our stock during the winter, meet regularly for social events and take an annual trip to County Clare to see the horses work at Johnny Hassett’s–as educating an experience as it is enjoyable. I was lucky enough to be introduced to Jeremy Brummitt at the outset, and through him, Johnny Hassett. We have a great team and tremendous working relationship, which always helps. I manage the business, Jeremy buys the horses, Johnny handles the prep and training. TDN: There have been a number of bloodstock Enterprise Investment Schemes set up in the past, particularly in the breeding side of the industry. Have you found it difficult to attract investment into the breeze up sector, which is considered one of the riskier sides of the business? EO’C: Funnily enough, no. I also run a separate breeding business under the Seven Hills brand. Perhaps because our breeze-up business had a head start on the others and we’ve had plenty of success, this is the one that our investors have really bought into. It’s certainly high-octane stuff compared to breeding; we buy in the autumn and know our fate in the spring. I guess it’s like a five furlong sprint compared to a three mile chase and investors seem to like the pace and how quickly it all happens. They get the summer off to steady their nerves. I do, however, think this will change over time and that our breeding business will prove at least equally attractive. It is now well established and has demonstrated some early success and our investors, despite their predilection for the excitement of the breeze-ups, recognise the value of a diversified portfolio. In fact, most already have an interest in both businesses. TDN: What is the general profile of your investors? Are they predominantly from within the bloodstock industry or are they from various walks of life? EO’C: The mix is about 50/50. Half have had experience of the sector (mostly through owning racehorses), whilst the other half have had no previous involvement. Interestingly, all of our ‘non-industry’ investors have subsequently gone on to own racehorses in their own right as their experience, interest and enjoyment of the sport has increased. I think we are certainly doing our bit to widen the ownership base in the UK. TDN: You work closely with Jeremy Brummitt and Johnny Hassett who both have proven track record in their respective fields. I presume this was a key selling point in attracting investors? EO’C: Without doubt, Jeremy’s and Johnny’s involvement has been instrumental in growing our business and attracting new investors. As well as their experience and track records, they are very generous with their time, especially in outlining our approach to new and existing investors. We have a considerable amount of goodwill in the camp, which helps enormously when we have to deal with the inevitable setback. TDN: You have an interesting draft going to the Craven Sale including a colt by Australia (GB) (lot 135) purchased for 190,000gns as a yearling. What are the vibes like from your team as their date with destiny approaches? EO’C: We feel that this is our best group to date, though they may not be as forward as last year due to the extremely harsh recent weather. In the past we have had some fast horses by stallions who were unfashionable at the time and were maybe not given due credit. Jeremy invariably looks for horses with the scope to progress beyond their first season and this year they are all by sires who are capable of siring Group 1-winning 3-year-olds. Except for the Australia colt, but we feel that this is one stallion that will live up to his hype. Jeremy was very high on this colt from his first look and though he was very late in the sale we decided to keep our powder dry and wait for him. We really had to stretch, but tellingly a very well-respected breeze up consignor was underbidder. I hope the buyers see what we see this time round. TDN: What is your exit strategy if a horse misses its breeze up sale slot due to a minor setback for example? Do you take the next step and put it into training? EO’C: One of our most remarkable statistics to date is that we have never had a breezer miss a sale. Testimony to Johnny’s prep, but we are not naive enough to believe it will never happen. We don’t race horses under our EIS structure so every effort is made to sell in the spring. If a horse misses a sale through a minor problem or if a horse gets a minor problem on the day, we would aim to sell privately as our preferred exit strategy. Breezers are judged on the day–fairly or unfairly. Often problems which are transitory will not be forgiven. For that reason of course the preferred–if not only–exit strategy for most consignors is to race them. The best example of a horse we liked failing to sell on the day was a colt subsequently named Gallic Chieftain (Fr) (Tamayuz {GB}), whom we couldn’t sell at Arqana due to sore shins. We managed to form a syndicate to buy him. He raced in France earning €40,000 before being re-sold for a significant profit to Australia, where he is group-class and has earnings to date of over A$400,000. TDN: How did you find the yearling market last autumn when reinvesting and do you envisage a similar situation later this year? E’OC: The market in Europe seems to become more selective with each sale. That situation cannot change until the ownership base widens. TDN: I presume you keep a close eye on your graduates and can you tell us how some have performed since hitting the tracks? EO’C: Our statistics bear close scrutiny. From three years of sales to date, we’ve had eight winners from 14 runners, six of which have achieved a BHA rating of 80+. A number of our horses, such as Flying Empress (GB) (Holy Roman Emperor {Ire}) and the above mentioned Gallic Chieftain, have subsequently been re-sold by their purchasers for significant profit. TDN: Give us a horse or two you have sold to look out for? EO’C: I would mention a couple from last year’s draft, both of whom won their maidens impressively at two; Raid (Ire), a colt by Havana Gold (Ire), in training with David Simcock and Pretty Baby (Ire), an Orpen filly in training with William Haggas. Additionally, we are keen to see how a Big Bad Bob (Ire) colt we sold at Goresbridge has fared over the winter. He is in training with Jessica Harrington and was thought worthy of an Irish 2000 Guineas entry. We liked him, even if he wasn’t a profitable horse for us–he was a scopey, backward type in the mould that Jeremy likes to buy and was always going to be better at three. View the full article

Who’s Steph (Ire) (Zoffany {Ire}) bettered a Sept. 9 debut ninth over this course and distance with a breakthrough score upped to one mile at Naas in her only other prior start Oct. 4, and she took a giant leap forward with a game win in this black-type bow and sophomore return. The grey broke well to race in a handy third initially and bounded to the front before halfway. Last off the bridle in the straight, she ran on powerfully under a final-furlong drive to turn down all challenges and register a career high. Who’s Steph is one of two scorers and the leading performer for Llew Law (GB) (Verglas {Ire}), and she is a half-sister to the gelded dual winner Thunder Crash (Ire) (Footstepsinthesand {GB}), who is one year her senior, and a 2-year-old colt by Rock of Gibraltar (Ire). Llew Law is a half-sister to stakes-winning G3 Molecomb S. third Hototo (GB) (Sleeping Indian {GB}), out of Listed Prix de Thiberville placegetter Harlem Dancer (GB) (Dr Devious {Ire}), and the winner’s fourth dam is G1SW French champion juvenile filly Hippodamia (Hail to Reason).

Bypassing a potential partnership with last term’s G1 Middle Park S. and G1 Dewhurst S. hero U S Navy Flag (War Front), Ryan Moore’s decision to instead partner G2 Superlative S. victor Gustav Klimt (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) paid a handsome dividend here as the former pounced late to seal a decisive win in his first start since annexing that July 15 career high. Steadied last of the four runners as stablemate and G3 Killavullan S. winner Kenya (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) tanked along on the front end, he was uncoiled in the straight to go second entering the final furlong–as Imaging (GB) (Oasis Dream {GB}) took over in front–and was ridden out to inhale that rival nearing the line, winning with plenty in hand. Gustav Klimt is one of five black-type performers produced by Listed Empress S. winner and G2 Prix Robert Papin runner-up Massarra (GB) (Danehill), and he is kin to G1 Gran Criterium-winning Italian highweight Nayarra (Ire) (Cape Cross {Ire}), G3 Silver Flash S. victress Wonderfully (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}), Listed Naas Sprint S. scorer Cuff (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) and G1 St James’s Palace S. third Mars (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}). Massarra is herself a sibling of G1SW sire Invincible Spirit (Ire) (Green Desert), out of G1 Prix de Diane heroine Rafha (GB) (Kris {GB}), and she has also produced the 2-year-old filly Fire Fly (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) and a yearling filly by Galileo (Ire).

CHANTILLY, France—Almost a year on from landing his first Group 1 victory with Precieuse (Ire) (Tamayuz (GB) in the Poule d’Essai des Pouliches, Fabrice Chappet is hoping that Dice Roll (Fr) (Showcasing {GB}) can put him back in the spotlight in the colts’ version of the French Classic on May 13. Giacomo Algranti’s colt, who will reach his official third birthday just two days ahead of the Poule d’Essai des Poulains, posted an impressive five-length win on his seasonal debut in Monday’s G3 Prix Djebel at Deauville. He showed no ill effects from those exertions as he stretched out for an easy canter with Precieuse’s former rider Jose Serra on Chantilly’s Piste des Lions on Saturday morning under the gaze of both owner and trainer. Dice Roll, who has been beaten just once when fourth in the listed Prix Francois Boutin during four starts last season, also holds an entry for the G1 Prix du Jockey Club but would need to be supplemented for the QIPCO 2,000 Guineas on Apr. 30 if connections decide to opt for a tilt at the English Classic. “He came out of the race perfectly, and he looks even better than he did before the race. I’m very happy with him. I think we’ll probably stay in France. He’s the best-rated 3-year-old in the country now and he’s an exciting horse,” said Chappet, who has seen the numbers in his stable boosted following his most successful season yet in 2017. Among the new owners in his Lamorlaye yard are two of his recently retired Chantilly training colleagues, Francois Doumen and Elie Lellouche. Dice Roll’s Parisian-based Italian owner Algranti added, “I have never known a horse with such a good temperament. He sleeps before the races. At Deauville he was asleep 20 minutes beforehand. He saves all his energy for his racing and that’s why we think he might get ten furlongs [in the Jockey Club] because he’s so relaxed. But we’ll see. We don’t know for sure that we’ll go that way. We’ll take one race at a time.” Chappet also issued an update on another progressive 3-year-old in his care, the Donald Trump-inspired Stable Genius (Fr) (Siyouni {Fr}), who was third to Chilean (GB) (Iffraaj {GB}) in last Sunday’s G3 Prix La Force on just his second start. “That was a very good effort second time out,” said the trainer. “It was a big step from winning his maiden in March to a Group race but we don’t have any other options in France. He’s still a very immature horse, not even a 3-year-old yet as he was born on 29 April. He’s improving and there’s plenty to look forward to with him. He probably goes either for the Prix de Guiche on 2 May or the Prix de Suresnes, which is a listed race at Longchamp on his birthday.” View the full article

The 2018 Hong Kong Derby horses step out in distance in a wide open Kowloon Cricket Club Centenary Cup (2,200m) at Sha Tin on Sunday as they test their credentials going toward longer black type features next month, but the year-older Prawn Baba can upstage them.

Winx (Aus) (Street Cry {Ire}) made history on Saturday when recording her 25th consecutive victory in the G1 Queen Elizabeth S. at Royal Randwick. In winning her 18th Group 1, Winx was equaling the Australian consecutive win record set by Black Caviar (Aus) (Bel Esprit {Aus}) in the G1 TJ Smith S. five years ago. Settling last early under Hugh Bowman, Winx circled wide around the turn and never truly looked like being beaten upon straightening, drawing away by three lengths from the pacesetting Gailo Chop (Fr) (Deportivo {GB}).

Unbridled Mo (Uncle Mo) storms down the center of the stretch to pull off the upset and record her first Grade I in the GI Apple Blossom H. Friday at Oaklawn Park. The bay was able to sit into a good stalking position at 9-2 as the heavy favorite Unique Bella completely missed the break and rushed up to sit just off the early pace. She was set down for the drive midway on the far turn while three wide and continued to inch closer to Unique Bella passing the furlong marker. She put her head in front at the sixteenth pole and never looked back, springing the upset by two lengths. Unique Bella held on for second. This is the sixth GI winner for her sire Uncle Mo. She is a half to MGSW Unbridled Essence (Essence of Dubai). Her 4-time winning dam Unbridled Waters (Unbridled) is a half to GSW and MGISP Big Booster (Accelerator). Lifetime Record: 10-7-0-0.

Ed DeRosa of TwinSpires.com takes on TDN’s Steve Sherack and Brian DiDonato as they handicap each prep race leading up to the GI Kentucky Derby. The three will make $100 Win/Place bets -highest bankroll after Apr. 14 wins. DeROSA: Last Week’s Results: Bolt d’Oro was second in the Santa Anita Derby, but neither Old Time Revival nor Blended Citizen made an impact in their respective races. DeROSA BANKROLL: $4290. GI Arkansas Derby – I think the prices on the top two will be more separated than the morning line suggests with Magnum Moon dropping and Solomini hopefully drifting, and I’ll take the bigger price on him turning the tables on the Rebel results. Selection: #5 Solomini (2-1). GIII Lexington S. – I love that Greyvitos has been pointing for this race and connections have not let Derby fever get the best of them. As it turns out, even a win won’t be good enough for a Derby berth, but this horse flashed brilliance at two and coming in fresh here I think will help him get the jump on My Boy Jack with the short stretch helping his trip. Selection: #6 Greyvitos (6-1). SHERACK: Last Week’s Results – Neither of my two longshots Tiz Mischief or King Zachary fired and Bolt d’Oro was second-best. SHERACK BANKROLL: $2380. GI Arkansas Derby – The unbeaten Magnum Moon returns to the site of his ultra-impressive Rebel score and has continued to train impressively since. Would love to back a price here, but just can’t come up with a sound argument to play against this one. Selection: #6 Magnum Moon (8-5). GIII Lexington S. – Telekinesis looked like he could be any kind in his debut win sprinting at Fair Grounds, then took pressure throughout in his two-turn try against older horses and reported home third as the heavy favorite. He’s well-drawn on the inside and should work out a perfect, stalking trip this time around. Selection: #2 Telekinesis (4-1). DiDONATO: Last Week’s Results: Bolt d’Oro and Enticed were simply second best in their respective races, but the former might still have a big say at Churchill. Zing Zang was always far back. Just two more chances to catch Ed… DiDONATO BANKROLL: $3635. GI Arkansas Derby – I wonder if Magnum Moon is simply too good for this bunch, but I think I’m better off taking a bigger price here from a game theory perspective. I loved the way Tenfold finished up in his debut, and while I wish he’d won his second start by more, the horse he beat is ok and he still has every right to take a big step forward in just his third lifetime start. Added ground can’t hurt. Selection: #3 Tenfold (10-1). GIII Lexington S. – His morning line quote seems a bit ambitious, but I’m pretty high on Greyvitos. His two big stakes wins last year seem legit, and he really doesn’t have to get much faster to get the job done. The pace should be honest, so hopefully he’s not too keen off the layoff and he can settle into a stalking trip. Selection: #6 Greyvitos (6-1). View the full article

It took Heart to Heart (h, 7, English Channel-Ask the Question, by Silver Deputy) some 34 starts over the course of six seasons to secure an elusive Grade I success, but the tough-as-teak Ontario-bred with the distinctive blaze that befits his name made it back-to-back scores at the highest level with a typically tenacious front-running victory in Friday’s Maker’s 46 Mile. In a race delayed by 35 minutes by an earlier tote malfunction, Heart to Heart looked a bit toey in the stalls and hopped ever so slightly at the break, but it didn’t cost him, as he was soon in front, dictating a sensible pace from California raider Om (Munnings) as Ballagh Rocks (Stormy Atlantic) was tucked away neatly in third. Still traveling well within himself as they left the quarter pole behind, Heart to Heart was popped the question by his long-time partner Julien Leparoux and they shaded :23 for the final two furlongs to win cozily in the finish. Ballagh Rocks fought back gamely at the fence for second. Forge (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}-Heat Haze {GB}) took a multi-horse photo for third. Heart to Heart, second in the last two runnings of the Maker’s 46, was winning for the 15th time and was taking his career earnings to $1.9 million. Lifetime Record: 35-15-5-3.

SASSY SIENNA (f, 3, Midshipman-Tap for Gold, by Pleasant Tap), second in the Martha Washington S. Feb. 10 and third behind a pair of these foes in the GIII Honeybee S. a month later, got it done when it counted Friday to stamp her ticket to next month’s GI Kentucky Oaks. Dismissed at 11-1, the $65,000 KEESEP yearling saved all the ground from her rail draw as she stalked from a distant second behind free-running favorite Amy’s Challenge (Artie Schiller). The chalk threatened to keep right on going after six panels in 1:10.52, but dropped anchor as she hit the top of the lane. Formidable out-of-town invader Wonder Gadot (Medaglia d’Oro) moved alongside Sassy Sienna as they took over together in the final sixteenth, but Sassy Sienna dug deeper to get her nose down on the line. A debut winner on the grass last July, Sassy Sienna was third in Saratoga’s P.G. Johnson S. before making a switch to the main track. She checked in fourth in the GI Darley Alcibiades S. in October, and second in a rained-off Churchill allowance in November. Fifth behind Fantasy foe and GIII Honeybee S. heroine Cosmic Burst (Violence) in Remington’s Trapeze S. Dec. 17, she bounced back with a 9 1/2-length romp in a local optional claimer Jan. 15. That was the dark bay’s final start for Zayat Stables, and she had run with these owners listed in her two most recent outings. Lifetime Record: 9-3-2-2. O-Medallion Racing & Jerry McClanahan.
