One of the most difficult scenarios for breeders toassess is when a famous racehorse makes a less-than-sensational start to his stallion career, causing hisfee to plummet. The current economic climate has onlyaccentuated this situation and American breeders thisyear have the opportunity to pay $30,000 for 2004Horse of the Year Ghostzapper, instead of his original$200,000; $20,000 for 2003 Horse of the YearMineshaft, instead of his opening price of $100,000;$15,000 for Kentucky Derby winner Fusaichi Pegasus,who in the past has commanded 10 times that amount;or $10,000 for 2004=s champion three-year-old coltSmarty Jones, who spent his first four years at$100,000. Other spectacular reductions are available for somestallions who originally worked their way up the rank-ings, such as $17,500 for Forestry, whose fee was ashigh as $125,000 as recently as 2007, and $50,000for Awesome Again, whose 2008 fee was $150,000. Breeders who couldn=t previously afford these higherfees now have access to some one-time superstars, butis it wise to support such horses? And is it fair to ex-pect the stallion to maintain his level of performance, oreven better it, after his fee has fallen substantially? Normally a stallion=s fee dictates the quality of themares he attracts, unless he is lucky enough to enjoythe loyal support of a major-league owner or syndicate.So, if the quality of his mares falls in tandem with hisfee, can he realistically be expected to thrive? The answer, I believe, is that some of them representa worthwhile gamble. For a start, the level of fee canchange the type of mare sent to a stallion. We have allwitnessed young stallions which make eye-catchingstarts with hard-knocking mares whose virtues includedspeed and toughness. After the stallion=s bright startsets his fee soaring, he then tends to receive a moreclassic-type of mare, with more stamina in her back-ground. Unfortunately, this switch in emphasis doesn=talways play to the stallion=s strengths and consequentlyhis results do not improve in proportion to the rise in hisfee. cont. p4

Of course the reverse may occasionally also be true.A stallion who is perceived to be failing may actuallybenefit from the change in the type of mare sent tohim. He might prove better suited by tough, talentedmares with unexceptional pedigrees than byblue-blooded mares of unproven soundness. Also, thereis much more evidence available to breeders using astallion several years into his career as to what does ordoes not suit him. One stallion who successfully halted a decline in hiscareer is Lemon Drop Kid, the 2000 champion older male. Little more than three years ago, after Citronnade hadwon the GII San Gorgonio H., I commented in thiscolumn that: AThe bare facts are that, after starting out at$100,000, his [Lemon Drop Kid=s] fee has gone intofreefall, quickly dropping to $75,000 and $50,000before sinking to $20,000. This fall--combined with asimilar slump in his number of mares (from 120 in 2003to 58 in 2006)--would appear to tell the whole story.But does it? AThe fact that his AEI of 1.63 falls well short of hismares= Comparable Index confirms that Lemon Drop Kidwasn=t worthy of the sort of fee he started out at. Butthe record of this extremely well-bred son ofKingmambo is by no means all doom and gloom. Indeedhe could represent an attractive option at $20,000.@

Plenty of breeders apparently agreed with me, as theLane=s End stallion went on to cover 150 mares at hislowest fee in 2007, for a live-foal crop of 117 in 2008.There is good reason for thinking that this crop willbenefit both Lemon Drop Kid and the breeders whogave him the benefit of the doubt--it achieved an aver-age of over $72,000 at the yearling sales, with a topprice of $450,000, which is pretty good going in to-day=s climate. There is also encouragement to be foundin his previous crop, sired at only $30,000. Lemon DropKid attracted fewer than 60 mares in 2006, giving hima three-year-old crop numbering only 39 named foals.Of the 15 which raced at two, seven became winners,three became stakes winners and as many as five wonor placed in stakes. Lemon Drop Kid=s ever-improving record has ensuredthat his fee has bounced back from the depths of2007. He covered 155 mares at $35,000 in 2008 and127 at $50,000 last year. His connections have wiselydropped him back to $35,000 this year, when he isagain sure to be popular, thanks to his achievement ofsiring 11 percent stakes winners. I should also point outthat his AEI now stands at more than 2.00 and is nowmuch closer to his Comparable Index.

Pedigree Insights cont.

As Bill Oppenheim highlighted in his recent columnson the latest APEX figures, Lemon Drop Kid ranksamong the most successful stallions of recent years,brushing shoulders with the likes of Galileo, SmartStrike, Unbridled=s Song, Giant=s Causeway and OasisDream as one of the elite Group 1 stallions with an ARunner Index of 2.50+ and an ABC Runners Index of2.00+. Incidentally, Awesome Again--another of thestallions I mentioned earlier--is another member of thiselite group. Lemon Drop Kid did extremely well to become aGrade I winner at two, despite his May 26 birthday,and he continued to progress throughout his secondand third seasons. It is therefore hardly surprising thatsome of his progeny also shine as mature performers.Citronnade was four when she gained all five of hergraded successes; Santa Teresita became a Grade Iwinner at five; and Richard=s Kid, winner of the GII SanAntonio H. two days ago, is another slow-burner. TheDubai World Cup contender didn=t gain his first gradedsuccess until his 19th start, when he took the PacificClassic last fall. Richard=s Kid has every right to be tough and durable,as Lemon Drop Kid started 24 times and thefive-year-old=s dam, the turf performer Tough Broad,fully lived up to her name, making 49 starts in fiveyears on the track. Tough Broad=s demanding career hasn=t hindered herbroodmare career, as she has become only the thirddaughter of Broad Brush to produce a Grade I winner,following the dams of Dreaming of Anna and Hot ChaCha. It is worth noting that Lemon Drop Kid has aperfect record with his eight foals out of Broad Brushmares, with two stakes winners among them, and healso two stakes winners from six foals out of mares byPrivate Account, sire of Richard=s Kid=s second dam.

I think it=s about time racing took advantage of theoverhead camera=s placed in mini-blimps or other tech-nology available to provide for better camera angles for resolving inquiries. Unfortunately for the connec-tions of Take the Points (crossed the wire in first, butwas DQ=d to fifth in Saturday=s GI Gulfstream Park TurfH.), a better view of what happened was not available.This is not the place to debate the merits of the deci-sion handed down by Gulfstream Park=s stewards, thepoint is to add this technology so Grade 1 races and$5,000 claimers alike can have the benefit of racesunder review to be decided with the best availableinformation available.

Many major racing events shown on television in thepast several seasons have employed this technologywith great success. Calvin Borel=s rail skimming rides on Street Sense and Mine That Bird were accentuatedby NBC=s use of an overhead camera. Every time I seethe use of the overhead camera, I cannot help but think it would be much more helpful than pan shots andhead-on shots which clearly do not tell the whole story. Getting cameras in place to provide for overhead shotsseems like a no-brainer to me!

RINGSIDE...with Lucas Marquardt

THIS ‘SKY’ IS NOT THE LIMIT Yesterday=s topper, the $340,000 Lavender Sky (Mt. Livermore), in a way represented the meeting oftwo promising young operations in Thoroughbred Rac-ing. Selling the six-year-old was a group that includedAlex Solis II, the son of jockey Alex Solis who, despitebeing in his mid-twenties, has been involved in thepurchase of horses of the ilk of Grade I winner Daytona(Ire) (Indian Ridge {Ire}), as well as multiple gradedwinners The Pamplemousse (Kawfain) and Valbenny(Ire) (Val Royal {Fr}). And the other operation, the buyer? Well, we can=tsay, really. Not because we are secretive sort and reluc-tant to part with the information, but because blood-stock agent Dr. Bill Lockridge, who signed the ticket forLavender Sky, said his client would rather remain anon-ymous at present. However, according to Lockridge,the gentleman for whom he is buying is looking to builda powerhouse, international breed-to-race operation. Asked if it fair to characterize his client as new to thebusiness, Lockridge, who helped establish Ashford Studin the 1970s before the operation was sold toCoolmore, added, ANot exactly; he=s been on thefringes. But now, he=s ready to go full blast, and hewants to be a major force internationally. He=s a first-glass guy, and very, very astute businessman. AI would say that we=d like to purchase between 40and 60 mares,@ added Lockridge. AI think he=ll race; Idon=t think he=s interested in being a commercialbreeder. Most of his mares will stay in the NorthernHemisphere.@ Lockridge and his client have found themselves a bitbehind the eight ball, at least in terms of acquiringmares for the upcoming breeding season. The pair did-n=t join forces until just before the Keeneland Januarysale, leaving Lockridge a vastly diminished pool ofmares to choose from. Lockridge, however, remainedselective, and went after just one mare at January, theeventual sale-topper Miss Isella (Silver Charm), whowas knocked down to Frank Stronach for $1.085 mil-lion. AShe went way beyond what my evaluation of herwas; I=m not sure where I quit, but it was substantiallyless that a million,@ said Lockridge. Lockridge was stymied yet again early yesterday. Roughly 20 minutes before Lavender Sky entered thering, Lockridge struck out on Julia Tuttle (Giant=sCauseway) and was the underbidder on that $235,000broodmare prospect, but the stars aligned for the saletopper.

Ï Ò

AWell, I liked her race record,@ Lockridge said of Lav-ender Sky. APlus she=s from the family of Kamar, who=sone of the great blue-hen mares in the Thoroughbredworld. Her dam was by Nijinsky II, and even though shewasn=t a stellar racehorse, it=s still Nijinsky. She couldrun and ran with good company and beat some goodhorses, so it was a combination of all of the above. Shewas a good individual--a little small--but very correct.She=s the kind of mares you raise runners out of. AI=d hope to pay less for her, but what I explained tothe buyer, the top end of the horses bring as muchtoday as they did three years ago,@ said Lockridge. AIfhe continues to buy at this level, I can virtually guaran-tee him success at the racetrack. I=d gone to my limitand maybe a little beyond, but she was a standout inthe sale, and that=s the level at which we want to buy.We want mares of that quality.@ Lockridge said that he would be busy over the nextweeks and months trying to add broodmares into thefold, though he admits that will be a tough propositionthis far into the season. AI=d like to get as many as 20 mares [this spring],which is a tall order, as a lot of these mare are alreadycommitted, and a lot of the quality mares are now invery strong hands and are hard to find and buy. But I=llbe looking on a daily basis for additional mares. I likeyoung mares, having their first or second foals, and theyhave to have run and been from a blue-hen family.@

Looking toward a possible mate for Lavender Sky,Lockridge pointed to Taxonomist (Seeking the Gold), atwo-year-old half-brother to the mare, as a possibledeciding factor. AIt is my understanding that they think very highly ofthe Seeking the Gold, so it was suggested that we goto a Mr. Prospector-line horse,@ Lockridge explained.AOne of the things that jumps out to me as a result ofwhat I have seen Quality Road do--he=s been my favor-ite male race horse over the past two years--is thatElusive Quality [the sire of last weekend=s GI Donn H.winner] would be a good choice. But there are a lot ofoptions with this mare. Kamar has crossed well with anumber of male lines, and it=s just a matter of sittingdown and selecting a horse who=s a proven stallion thatI think is properly priced. In this market, and thinkyou=re so much better served with a mare like this to goto a proven stallion.@ Lockridge said he wasn=t sure where the mare wouldbe boarded. Now, back to Solis and his partners. Four years andone month ago, at the 2006 Keeneland January Sale,Three Chimneys Farm purchased Lavender Sky for$130,000 on behalf of Solis, Tom Lenner, Howard Litt,Margie Strauss, and Arnold Zetcher. Litt=s son Jason,who works in the bloodstock services department atThree Chimneys, helped find the filly.

Solis explained, AI run a lot of syndicates--ThePamplemousse and Daytona (Ire) and horses like that--and I got a phone call from Jason, who=s my partner inKentucky. He said, >I=ve got a filly I think you=ll like.= SoI raised some money out here and we wound up buyingher.@ It wound up being an astute purchase, as LavenderSky placed in a trio of Grade II events and banked

nearly $200,000 before top-ping yesterday=s event. De-spite the solid race record,Solis said we probably didn=tsee the mare=s best effort. AIf she was lacking onething, it was the killer in-stinct,@ Solid explained. AShewas right there in a lot ofthose races and ran a five onThe Sheets, but we had to

drop her into a >non-winners of one= to get her to winher second race. But she had all the ability in the world,though mentally, she didn=t always want to do it. Physi-cally, she=s a beautiful filly. She=s not the biggest thingin the world, but a lot of those good grass fillies aren=tthat big, so that didn=t worry us too much. She=s reallywell-balanced and is beautiful and is real kind to bearound.@ cont. p4

That clashes with the personality of Lavender Sky=shalf-sister Dreamalong (Rahy), reports Solis. In whatturned out to be another savvy purchase, the samegroup that owned Lavender Sky came back to the wellfor Dreamalong, who is two years her junior. Theypurchased her for $130,000 as a Keeneland Septemberyearling in 2007, at which point Lavender Sky hadbroken her maiden and raced well in allowance com-pany after returning from injury. ALavender Sky had broken her maiden really impres-sively [in November of her two-year-old year], but thenhad to have a chip removed from an ankle,@ Solis ex-plained of how the story went down. AShe came backat Del Mar as a three-year-old and was really comingaround, and she finished a good second in an allowancerace there. The [September] sale was three weeks later,and there was a stakes race around that time that wedecided to pass on, because we didn=t want to addblack-type to the page. We knew this filly was goingthrough the sale. So we played it a little differently, andeverything worked out.@ Dreamalong hasn=t yet added her own black-type tothe page, but Solis thinks it=s probably a matter of time. AShe finished fifth, beaten only 1 13/4 lengths, in theGI Del Mar Oaks last summer, and recently was fourth,beaten a length, in a stakes at Hollywood in December,@he said. AShe=s going to run next week in the GII BuenaVista H. at Santa Anita. She=s a very talented filly andwill be a nice stakes horse for sure.@ As for the diverging temperaments, Solis added,ADreamalong is a pretty evil horse to be around; she=lltry to come through the webbing to get you.@ Looking back to Lavender Sale=s purchase, Solis re-lates a bit of breaking-and-training trivia. ALavender Sky was an unbroken two-year-old at theJanuary Sale when we got her,@ Solis said. AWe senther to Florida to be broken, and she was actually bro-ken with Zenyatta. Her and Zenyatta were both atPlumely Farms with Jeanne Mayberry. She called me upand said, >Your filly can really run, but I=ve got onethat=s a little better.=@
