Lake, based on the East Coast, won with 528 out of 2,158 starters this year for a success rate of 24 percent. His runners finished in the money 56 percent of the time, bringing in $9,565,656 to put the 41-year-old trainer fourth in the nation by earnings. However, Lake=s season was marred by multiple clenbuterol positives found in his starters in New York and Delaware, and he was forced to turn his horses over to assistants as he ended the year by serving two 30-day suspensions. Leparoux, who rode first-call for trainer Patrick Biancone at tracks from Saratoga to Santa Anita this year, began 2006 as an apprentice based in Kentucky. His 403 winners among 1,740 starters earned $12,485,527 in purses to put him eighth in the nation by earnings. The Frenchman won five riding titles between Turfway Park, Keeneland, and Churchill Downs. After losing his apprentice status in September, Leparoux maintained a 23-percent win rate and finished in the money 52 percent of the time. His top mounts included Gorella (Fr), winner of the GI Beverly D. H., Asi Siempre, winner of the GI Juddmonte Spinster, and GII Fleur de Lis H. winner Happy Ticket. Steve Bass, the 23-year-old jockey=s agent, said Leparoux will travel between Turfway Park and Santa Anita this winter. "It=s been an unbelievable year, and we want to thank every trainer and owner who put us on their horses," Bass said. "Obviously, Patrick Biancone played a big influence, but every single person who supported us is appreciated. Julien accomplished a lot this year, and he=s been riding some really nice two-year-olds, so we=re looking forward to another great racing season." Moss, based in Des Moines, Iowa, races her horses at tracks throughout the U. S. and has risen through the ranks by claiming horses while teaming up with trainer Randy Morse.

The newly turned four-year-old will break from the outside in a field of eight going postward in the eighth race, a $48,000 second-level allowance going a mile and a sixteenth. Jazil and stable- mate Invasor (Arg) (Candy Stripes) had been wintering in Florida until an equine herpesvirus outbreak in the state prompted trainer Kiaran McLaughlin to ship his stars north to New York on Christmas Eve.

AWhen we came off the turn, Ireally couldn=t ask for a horse to be running any betterthan he was today.

Heangled out further in the stretch

and wore down Sedgefield and Storm in May to wingoing away. AThis is a very good horse because he gotinto some trouble and overcame it nicely,@ said winningrider Cornelio Velasquez. AHe showed me today that,even without any pace up front to run at, he could stillfinish and give whatever you needed to get the jobdone.@ Soldier=s Dancer also impressed his trainer, DaveVivian.

Click for the brisnet.com chart or the free brisnet.comcatalogue-style pedigree. Video, sponsored by TaylorMade. The morning after New Year=s Eve perhaps isn=t thewisest or safest time to start quoting statistics, but thedecisive victory of Downthedustyroad prompts a few.Unless I=m mistaken, her sire Storm and a Half is noless than the 31 son of Storm Cat to have sired ast

group/graded winner in one of the major racing coun-tries in the northern hemisphere. However, Storm and a Half has the distinction ofbeing the first unraced son of Storm Cat to have sired agraded winner. This rather surprised me, given the largenumber of Storm Cat colts who have been given theirchance as stallions (the latest Blood-Horse StallionRegister lists more than 110 sons). Storm and a Half isalso the only non-stakes winner among the 13 sons ofStorm Cat to have sired a Grade I winner. That said, Storm and a Half isn=t the first non-stakes-winning son of Storm Cat to have drawn attention tohimself. Storm Boot has carved out a niche as an inex-pensive yet reliable sire of stakes winners, while theonce-raced Quick Cut, the minor winner Level Sandsand the non-winning Tiger Ridge have each sired agraded winner. Bearing in mind the number of unraced or modestlyperformed fillies who make excellent broodmares, onemight have expected more stallions like Storm and aHalf to come through. The downtrodden male is at abig disadvantage, though. Whereas an unracedbroodmare can have access to the finest stallions,provided her owner is prepared to pay the price, anunraced stallion is almost inevitably going to struggle toattract mares either in sufficient numbers or of suffi-cient quality. In the past, potential stallions with morepedigree than performance used to be very attractive tosouthern hemisphere breeders who couldn=t afford tobuy pedigree and performance, but the emergence ofthe shuttle stallion has probably denied these horseseven that slim chance of fulfilling the promise of theirbloodlines.Cont. p5

(Pedigree Insights cont.)

One notable exception to the rule was Alibhai, a sonof Hyperion and the high-class English stayer Tracery.Imported to the U.S., Alibhai was prevented from rac-ing by bowed tendons, but he sired the Kentucky Derbywinner Determine and regularly ranked among Amer-ica=s leading sires. Another example I can think of is Immortality, whosired the 1,000 Guineas winner Fleet and her high-classsister Democratie from an exceptional broodmare calledReview. As you might expect, that great sire of siresNorthern Dancer had a few unraced sons who siredgraded winners, including Staff Writer, Pas Seul, Yu-kon, Northern Score and Fire Dancer. Better than any ofthese was Fairy King, a Northern Dancer colt who fin-ished in the rear on his only racecourse appearance, butFairy King had the advantage of having a sensationalolder brother in Sadler=s Wells. Staff Writer, who sired the Grade I winners TimelyWriter and Fact Finder, plied his trade in WashingtonState, while Pas Seul, who sired the Grade I winnerPass the Line, was based in Virginia. It is a similar storywith Storm and a Half, who has spent his stallion ca-reer in Arkansas. A stallion career in Arkansas was no doubt notamong the goals envisaged by Reynolds Bell when hepaid $1.2 million for Storm and a Half on behalf of Rich-ard Santulli at Keeneland=s 1998 September Sale. Thecolt=s price was bettered by only five other yearlings. It is easy to understand why the son of Storm Catwas in such demand. He represents the popular StormCat/Seeking the Gold cross which has produced fiveblack-type winners from its first 24 foals. These includeGood Reward (GI Manhattan H.), his brother Pure Prize(a Grade II winner who ranks third among the first-cropsires of 2006, with five stakes winners), Seeking theSky (GIII), Old Deuteronomy (G1-placed), Magical Ride(GII-placed) and Seeking the Dia (a consistent JapaneseGroup 2 winner with considerable earnings). Storm and a Half came on the market in the sameyear that his half-sister Lu Ravi won the GIII FairGrounds Oaks and GII Cotillion H., before eventuallyretiring as a winner of more than $1.8 million.

Their dam At the Half had helped Seeking the Goldmake a spectacular start as a stallion in 1993, whenshe won five of her six juvenile starts, including the GIIIGolden Rod S. Storm and a Half=s next dam, the verydurable Grade III winner Knitted Gloves, also producedthe high-class turf horse Spruce Needles, so there isnothing wrong with his bloodlines. The question was whether he would receive goodenough mares to make his mark, especially as his feewas only $1,000. The answer seems to be that he did,as his first three crops have done well enough to earnhim books of over 100 mares in 2005 and 2006. The bottom half of Downthedustyroad=s pedigreecontains a smattering of stakes winners, including herhalf-sister Princess Jen and her third dam Jet to Mar-ket, but the main feature of her pedigree is her 4x3inbreeding to Mr. Prospector (with the second linecoming through her broodmare sire Crafty Prospector). This inbreeding could be well worth remembering. Ofthe 13 sons of Storm Cat who have a Grade I winner totheir credit, three failed to win at graded level, yet two ofthe three--Storm and a Half and Catienus--have each sireda Grade I winner inbred to Mr. Prospector. The otherexception--2006=s champion juvenile sire Stormy Atlantic(who has no Mr. Prospector blood)--sired his Grade Iwinner Stormello from a granddaughter of Mr. Prospector.
