It's A Boy! Zenyatta's Fourth Foal | Retama Ruffian

After waiting over two weeks, Zenyatta (Street Cry-Vertiqineux, by Kris S.) has finally foaled. The foal is a colt by War Front. This colt is the fourth for Zenyatta. According to Zenyatta.com, the official website for all things Queen Z, the foal was born meconium stained. Meconium staining is an event that may occasionally occur during foaling. Meconium is the foal's first stool. Under certain circumstances, it can mix into the fluid surrounding a fetus and it may be inhaled, which may cause lung irritation. "As a precaution and on the recommendation of the attending veterinarians, both mare and foal were taken to the clinic for close observation and treatment."

"Zenyatta is bright and alert and is in excellent health following the foaling," An post on the official Zenyatta website state. "She and her foal are in good spirits and developing a strong bond. As always, she is a great mother. Currently, the foal can stand and move around the stall with minimal assistance. The pair will stay at the clinic, where they will get the best possible care and attention. The foal will be watched closely for 48 hours for any changes. If he continues to do well, both Zenyatta and her foal will be able to return to the farm shortly." [Zenyatta foaled on Monday, April 11th.]

This is the fourth foal for Queen Z. Cozmic One (Bernardini) was delivered in 2012, Ziconic (Tapit) in 2013 and a War Front filly in 2014. Cozmic One finished off the board in his two starts last year. Ziconic finished third in his first start and was unplaced in his second start. The War Front filly died as a weanling after a paddock incident. Both Ziconic and Cozmic One are trained by John Shirreffs, who also conditioned Zenyatta.

Derby Preps: Louisiana Derby | Retama Ruffian

We are forty three days away from the Kentucky Derby. It's go time. I'm getting my Derby profiles together, rewatching prep races and, of course, looking ahead to the upcoming prep races. With that said...here's my thoughts on the 2016 Louisiana Derby.

GUN RUNNER
(Candy Ride-Quiet Giant, by Giant's Causeway)

Gun Runner went from finishing fourth in the Kentucky Jockey Club Stakes to winning the Risen Star Stakes. Previously to that, he won both a maiden special weight and an allowance. He won the Risen Star by 1 1/2 lengths, beating out Forevamo and Mo Tom. Gun Runner has already beat Forevamo, Mo Tom, Candy My Boy, Zapperini, Tom's Ready and Uncle Walter, all of who are starting in the Louisiana Derby. His slow workout times don't bother me; he has already ran at Fair Grounds, and he ran well.
CONTENDER

GREENPOINTCRUSADER
(Bernardini-Ava Knowsthecode, by Cryptoclearance)

Greenpointcrusader finished second in his first outing and came back two months later to break his maiden at Saratoga. He then went on to win the grade one Champagne Stakes and finish seventh in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile. Greenpointcrusader recently finished second to Mohaymen in the Holy Bull. I'm not sure I like he most recent breeze, a five furlong in 1:02.30. His final workout before the Holy Bull was a five furlong in 1:02.00 and he finished second. He hasn't started nor worked on the Fair Grounds track.
CONTENDER

BATTERY 
(Bernardini-Flawless Diamond, by Saint Ballado)

The first time I looked at his race record, I said "Oh my". I'm not sure I like him nor do I believe he can compete at this level yet. However, I did say that about Melatonin too.
PRETENDER

CONQUEST WINDYCITY
(Tiznow-Lasting Appeal, by A.P. Indy)

After finishing fourth in the Iroquois Stakes, Conquest Windycity dropped down into the maiden special weight and allowance level. He did, however, work over the Fair Grounds course in 48.80 for four furlongs.
POSSIBLE

CANDY MY BOY
(Candy Ride-Runaway Rosie, by Include)

On his fifth attempt, Candy My Boy broke his maiden at Fair Grounds. A little less than a month later, he won an allowance optional claiming, over Forevamo (also at Fair Grounds). In his first start at the graded level, Candy My Boy finished fourth in the Risen Star. In the Risen Star, the colt was all over the place before he finally weakened in the stretch. I'm not sure the extra distance will benefit him any.
PRETENDER

MO TOM
(Uncle Mo-Caroni, by Rubiano)

Mo Tom broke his maiden in September of last year and then went on to win the Street Sense Stakes. He finished third in the Kentucky Jockey Club Stakes (1 1/16 mile) before winning the LeComte Stakes (1 mile and 70 yards) at Fair Grounds. In his latest start, Mo Tom finished third in the Risen Star (1 1/16 mile). Being an Uncle Mo baby, Mo Tom may be best suited for 1 1/16 mile and under races.
POSSIBLE

TOM'S READY
(More Than Ready-Goodbye Stranger, by Broad Bush)

Wow.
PRETENDER

UNCLE WALTER
(Uncle Mo-Look for Good, by Unbridled's Song)

On the bright side, he did finished third in the LeComte.
PRETENDER

DAZZLING GEM
(Misremembered-Dazzler, by Vindication)

Dazzling Gem has won both of his starts thus far-a maiden special weight and an allowance. He has been working well at Oaklawn but hasn't tested the Fair Grounds track yet.
POSSIBLE

ZAPPERINI
(Ghostzapper-Bobby's Babe, by Smart Strike)

Zapperini finished 5th in the Risen Star last time out. His workouts at Fair Grounds have been quite slow.
PRETENDER

FOREVAMO
(Uncle Mo-Candlelightdinner, by Slew Gin Fizz)

Forevamo won the Jean Lafittle Stakes and finished 6th in the Delta Downs Jackpot. In his last start, he finished second in the Risen Star. Forevamo  has been working on the Fair Grounds track.

Gotham Stakes (gr. III) | Retama Ruffian

Gotham Stakes

Aqueduct; $400,000; 8.5 furlongs; 3YO; March 5

Laoban

(Uncle Mo-Chattertown, by Speightstown)

Though he is lightly raced, this isn't a horse I would overlook. In his three race career, Laoban finished seventh in his first start (he failed to rally), second in the next and third in his first stakes. His second race, a maiden special weight, resulted in a narrow loss to Let's Meet in Rio. Laoban's latest start was in the grade three Sham Stakes. He rallied well for third, despite going four wide. 

CONTENDER

Shagaf 

(Bernardini-Muhaawara, by Unbridled's Song)

In some circles this horse has been all the rage as a "Derby Dark Horse". I don't see it. At Gulfstream, he beat a couple of maiden special weight winners. His breezes haven't been spectacular either. However, I do believe this horse wants to win. I can't decide if I like him or not.

POSSIBLE

Adventist

(Any Given Saturday-Sharp Minister, by Deputy Minister)

Another lightly raced horse, Adventist could be quite a threat. In his maiden special weight, he fought his rider throughout the homestretch but still managed to pull away from the field. In the grade three Withers, he had a rough start, fought his jockey around the first turn and dueled in the home stretch. Another bonus: he has already faced Sunny Ridge.

CONTENDER

Vincento

(Include-Seeking the Silver, by Grindstone)

Easily my least favorite horse in the field, Vincento has started four times. However, I don't believe he can compete at this level. 

PRETENDER

Mo Power

(Uncle Mo-Rhiana, by Runaway Groom)

With horses like Nyquist and Mo Tom, Uncle Mo has been well received as a sire and it's no surprise why. Mo Power has yet to start outside of a maiden special weight but should do well moving up into the graded level. He fought with the third place finished before pulling away in his maiden. Mo Power may be a horse that doesn't like to lose. However, his breeze times  are worrying me.

POSSIBLE

Conquest Big E

(Tapit-Seeinisbelievin, by Carson City)

I'm usually a big fan of Conquest Stables' horses and Tapit progeny but I can't seem to like this horse. I don't believe he will excel at the graded level until he has more experience. 

PRETENDER

Sunny Ridge

(Holy Bull-Liqnum Vitae, by Songandaprayer)

Despite his insanely slow workouts, Sunny Ridge boasts a good portfolio. He started his career in a Monmouth Park maiden claiming before finishing seventh in the Sandford Stakes. He won the Sapling Stakes and then finished second in the Champagne Stakes to Greenpointcrusader. Along with a second in the Delta Downs Jackpot to Exaggerator, Sunny Ridge won the grade three Withers Stakes. He is easily the class of the field.

CONTENDER

Rally Cry

(Uncle Mo-Alienated, by Gone West)

In three starts, Rally Cry managed to win a maiden special weight in December. Since then, he finished third in an allowance optional claiming to Shagaf. As much as I like Pletcher trainees, I don't think Rally Cry will do much.

PRETENDER

Pharoah's Phuture Phoals | Retama Ruffian

Pharoah's Phuture Phoals was original published on Mary Cage's Past the Grandstand (http://pastthegrandstand.blogspot.com/2016/01/guest-blog-contest-sixth-place-pharoahs.html)

With a new year comes new stallions. This is no longer the year of the Pharoah –  at least for racing, that is. 2016 is the year American Pharoah walks into the breeding shed with some of the top mares from around the country and even the world (yes, I'm talking about you, Rags). If American Pharoah fails at stud, it won't be due to a shortage of quality mares. On that note, let's take a look at 'Pharoah's Phuture Phoals.'

American Pharoah/Untouched Talent

Untouched Talent, a Storm Cat mare, sold as a yearling for $310,000 in 2005 before making her way back to the auction ring as a two-year-old in the Barretts March Sale ($500,000) and the Fasig-Tipton November Sale ($850,000). She went on to win the Juan Gonzales Memorial Stakes (5 furlongs) and the Sorrento Stakes (6 1/2 furlongs). Untouched Talent also finished second in both the Del Mar Debutante (7 furlongs) and the Alcibiades Stakes (1 1/16 miles). I thought it was interesting to note the riders she had for each race: Roberto Gonzales, Victor Espinoza, David Flores and Patrick Valenzuela, respectively.

DAM: Parade Queen (A.P. Indy-Spanish Queen) won the grade three Miss Revere Stakes (1 1/16 miles T) and the grade three Joe Namath Handicap (1 1/16 miles T) before finishing her career with a fourth in the grade three Bewitch Stakes (1 1/2 miles T). Her first foal, Peace Officer (by Deputy Minister), was unraced. After being bred to Kingmambo, Parade Queen produced a 2001 colt named Obay (GB) who eventually became a group one winner. In 2006, King Gulch (Gulch), a gelding, became a  blacktype winner. Her most successful recent foal is Top Billing (by Curlin), a grade two-placed five-year old. Top Billing fractured his cannon bone in 2014 and finished fourth in the 2015 grade three Pimlico Special Stakes (1 3/16 miles).

SIRE: Storm Cat (Storm Bird-Terlingua) won the grade one Young American Stakes (1 1/16 miles) and then finished second the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile (1 mile). Some of his best mares include Life Is Sweet, winner of the 2009 Breeders’ Cup Distaff, and Untouched Talent, dam of Bodemeister.  Arguably, Giant’s Causeway is Storm Cat’s best son. In his only start on U.S. dirt, Giant’s Causeway finished second to Tiznow in the Breeders' Cup Classic. Giant’s Causeway has sired Take Charge Brandi and Carpe Diem, to name a few. From 381 mares, Storm Cat has 669 runners and 313 winners (46%). Of those 313 winners, 25 won a stakes race (8%).

In 2007, Untouched Talent was sold at the Keeneland November sale for $1,200,000 in foal to Unbridled's Song. The resulting colt never started. In 2009, the Storm Cat mare gave birth to an Empire Maker colt. The colt was sent to the Keeneland September Sale and sold for $260,000.  This colt, Bodemeister, went on to win the Arkansas Derby and finish second in the Kentucky Derby and Preakness. Untouched Talent was not bred in 2010.  In 2011, she produced Fascinating, a Smart Strike filly. The filly sold for $1,300,000 at the Keeneland September Sale and became a multiple graded stakes-placed racer. Untouched Talent foaled a Tiznow filly in 2012. That filly is currently a maiden winner, but is still on the track.

Untouched Talent made it to the sales ring once more. She was sold for $5,000,000 in foal to Unbridled's Song. The final foal from this cross is a chestnut colt who broke his maiden at Pimlico. In 2014 and 2015, Untouched Talent gave birth to Galileo fillies, both of whom are still unnamed.

As for the American Pharoah cross, the resulting foal with have inbreeding to Secretariat (4DX5D), Terlingua (5SX3D), Storm Bird (5SX3D) and Storm Cat (4SX2D).  Not to be a down and outer, but Pioneerof the Nile has not produced much other than American Pharoah. If you ignore all but the best son of the sire, he has only ever produced grade two winners. I don't believe his stud fee will stay above $100,000 for much longer. One thing to note in Pioneerof the Nile's pedigree is his sire, Empire Maker. Untouched Talent's best foal to date (Bodemeister) was based off the Empire Maker/Untouched Talent cross. Ending on that note, the American Pharoah/Untouched Talent foal could be just as good, or better than, Bodemeister. This is one to keep your eye on.

American Pharoah/Charming

Charming, by Seeking the Gold and out of Take Charge Lady, sold for $3,200,000 at Keeneland September. However, she never did much on the track. She won her maiden special weight (6 ½ furlongs) and then finished second in an allowance (one mile), both times under John Velazquez. For her final career start, Charming did not finish in the Serena’s Song Stakes.

DAM: Take Charge Lady (Dehere-Felicita) won the Alcibiades Stakes (1 1/16 miles), Silverbulletday Stakes (1 1/16 miles), Fair Grounds Oaks (1 1/16 miles), Ashland Stakes (1 1/16 miles), Dogwood Stakes (1 1/16 miles), Arlington Matron Handicap (1 ⅛ miles) and the Spinster Stakes (1 ⅛ miles), twice. She also finished second in the Kentucky Oaks (1 ⅛ miles). In 2009, Take Charge Lady produced an A.P. Indy colt named Take Charge Indy. Take Charge Indy went on to win the Florida Derby – defeating Belmont Stakes winner Union Rags – and the Alysheba Stakes. He now stands at WinStar Farm for $17,500. His first crop are yearlings in 2016. After being bred to Unbridled’s Song, Will Take Charge was foaled in 2010. Will Take Charge won the Smarty Jones Stakes, Rebel Stakes, Travers Stakes, Pennsylvania Derby, Clark Handicap and the Oaklawn Handicap. He entered stud in 2015 and is standing for $30,000 in 2016 at Three Chimneys Farm. Take Charge Lady produced a 2012 filly named I’ll Take Charge (by Indian Charlie), a 2013 filly named Conquering (by War Front) and has a 2015 unnamed War Front Filly.

SIRE: Seeking the Gold (Mr. Prospector-Con Game) won the Swale Stakes, Peter Pan Stakes, Dwyer Stakes and Super Derby. He finished second in the Wood Memorial, Haskell Invitational, Travers Stakes and the Breeders’ Cup Classic. He currently has 29 stallions at stud. He sired Dubai Millennium winner of the Queen Elizabeth II Stakes and the Dubai World Cup, Jazil – winner of the Belmont Stakes, and Flanders – winner of the Spinaway and the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile, where she defeated Serena’s Song. As a broodmare sire, Seeking the Gold has 228 winners from 490 runners (47%). Sixteen of his winners won a stakes race (7%).

Take Charge Lady was bred to Unbridled’s Song in 2009 and produced a colt, Siete C. He sold at Keeneland September for $210,000. He is still racing as a five-year-old but has yet to win anything other than an allowance optional claiming. Undoubtedly, Charming’s best foal is Take Charge Brandi. She was a product of a Giant’s Causeway cross. As a yearling, she sold for $435,000 at the Keeneland September Sale. Her biggest wins were the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies (1 1/16 miles), Delta Downs Princess Stakes (1 mile), Starlet Stakes (1 1/16 miles) and the Martha Washington Stakes (1 mile). Take Charge Brand recently sold for $6,000,000 at the Keeneland November Sale.

Charming produced a War Front filly in 2013. The filly has been named Take Charge Tressa and has yet to start. Charming also has colt by War Front that was foaled in 2014.

Charming seems to be a short distance speed horse. American Pharoah has speed on his dam’s side and stamina on his sire’s. Combined together, the foal should do well around two turns but I’m doubtful the resulting foal will be able to reach 1 ½ miles. However, 1 ¼ and 1 ⅜ miles should be no problem.

American Pharoah/Rags to Riches

Rags to Riches, by A.P. Indy and out of Better Than Honour, is probably one of the most successful racing mares of the 21st century. As a yearling, she sold at the Keeneland September Sale for $1,900,000. She finished fourth in a maiden special weight (5 ½ furlongs) before winning her maiden going 7 furlongs. She then went on to win the Las Virgenes Stakes (1 mile), Santa Anita Oaks (1 1/16 miles), Kentucky Oaks (1 ⅛ miles) and the Belmont Stakes (1 ½ miles). She finished her career with a second in the Gazelle Stakes (1 ⅛ miles).

DAM: Better Than Honour (Deputy Minister-Blush with Pride) finished second in the 1999 grade one Acorn Stakes (1 mile) and third in the Mother Goose Stakes (1 ⅛ miles). Her 2003 foal, Jazil (by Seeking the Gold), won the Belmont Stakes. In 2004, Rags to Riches (by A.P. Indy) was foaled.  Casino Drive (by Mineshaft) is a 2005 grade two winner. Better Than Honour has a 2013 Bernardini filly who is yet to be named.

SIRE: A.P. Indy (Seattle Slew-Weekend Surprise) was sold at Keeneland July for $2,900,000 before he won the Hollywood Futurity (1 1/16 miles), San Rafael Stakes (1 mile), Santa Anita Derby (1 ⅛ miles) and Peter Pan Stakes (1 ⅛ miles). He also won the Belmont Stakes (1 ½ miles) and the Breeders Cup Classic (1 ¼ miles). As a sire, some of A.P. Indy’s foals include Bernardini (2006 Eclipse Champion Three-Year-Old Male), Dreaming of Julia (The Frizette), Friesan Fire (Louisiana Derby), Mineshaft (Jockey Club Gold Cup), Pulpit (sire of Tapit), Rags to Riches (Belmont Stakes), Malibu Moon (sire of Kentucky Derby winner Orb), Majestic Warrior (sire of Kentucky Oaks winner Princess of Sylmar) and Honor Code (2015 Eclipse Champion Older Dirt Male). Mares by A.P. Indy have produced 598 runners, 299 of whom are winners (50%). Of those winners, 29 are stakes winners (9%).

As a broodmare, Rags to Riches produced a 2009 Giant’s Causeway filly. The filly was later named Opulence. In 2010, Rags to Riches foaled a colt by Henrythenavigator. He was also unraced. A 2011 colt and a 2012 gelding – both by Galileo – were named Rhett Butler and Rich and Righteous, respectively, and are unraced as well. Rags to Riches gave birth to a Galileo colt named Never So Few. He is the only foal by Rags to Riches to race; he finished eighth in a maiden special weight (1 1/16 miles) on the turf in his career debut earlier this month. The broodmare also has an unnamed 2014 filly by Galileo.

Both dam and sire won the Belmont Stakes, proving they have the stamina needed for classic distances. Both dam and sire have won at a seven furlong distance. Out of all of the mares that American Pharoah will breed to, I am most excited for this cross. The foal should be able to succeed at all distances.

American Pharoah has been given every chance to succeed as a sire. If he doesn't, we can't blame the broodmares. The pedigrees these broodmares carry are some of the best in the world and while not all of them are proven producers, perhaps they just need the right sire to come along.  

Photo Blog: My Time with Runhappy in Texas | Retama Ruffian

I heard Runhappy was going to Texas after the Malibu and I was hoping I would get to visit him while he was here. Over Christmas break, a friend of mine also visited the colt. I decided to message the Runhappy Facebook page, crossing my fingers. We had agreed on meeting on Saturday but the weather forecast showed that Sunday was a much better day to go. When we arrived, Cordell was just taking Hap back into the barn. I was surprised to see so many people.

When I first got into the barn, Cordell was teaching a young girl how to feed Hap peppermints. It’s easy to see the pure happiness on Cordell’s face as he looks down at Runhappy. I found out Cordell had been working for Gallery Racing for forty plus years and had even walked Hap into the sales ring at Keeneland!

Almost immediately, Madison Scott, intern for Bloodhorse, senior at the University of Kentucky and President of the UK Racing Club (yes, I do think she’s awesome!), introduced herself to me and agreed to a photo.

Laura, Runhappy’s trainer, answered the endless questions that we all had while Happy happily accepted all of the mints he was offered. Fun fact about this colt, he will eat all of the peppermints and apples you give him, but he isn’t a fan of carrots.

Hmm...which one is the Breeders’ Cup Sprint winner again?

With all of his visitors, Runhappy wasn’t able to get his daily nap in on time. He suddenly became YawnHappy. ;)

After thirty minutes or so in the barn, Runhappy was taken back outside to roll and graze. Something happened during this time tho…

Someone’s horse got loose while it was being lunged. And as you can tell, Hap wasn’t too happy to see the horse.

Runhappy was taken back to the barn so he could relax and stay safe. The loose horse was eventually caught and Happy was calmed.

After this episode, everyone began saying their goodbyes and taking their last photos. I didn’t use all of my photos in the photo blog, so I’ve included a few more below.

A HUGE thanks for the Laura and the entire Runhappy team for allowing me to come out and see this amazing beast of an animal we call Hap. And of course, a big thanks to Hap for letting me interrupt his sleep. We love you Hap!
