Workforce(GB)(King's Best) sired his first group winner in Japan, when his 5yo horse Divine Force(JPN)[o/o Tsukuba Beauty(JPN) by Zenno Rob Roy(JPN)] won the G2 Stayers Stakes 3600m turf at Nakayama on Dec 4th 2021.
Workforce stood at Shadai Stallion Station in between 2012 and 2016 before being bought back to Knockhouse Stud in Ireland.
Divine Force is now likely to be aimed at the Red Sea Turf 3000m turf on the Saudi Cup Day!!!

Sinister Minister(USA)(Old Trieste) sired his first G1 winner, as his 4yo colt T O Keynes(JPN)[o/o Maxim Cafe(JPN) by Manhattan Cafe(JPN)] won the Champions Cup 1800m dirt at Chukyo on Dec 5th 2021.
Sinister Minister, purchased by a group of small breeders in Hidaka District for US$1.5 million in 2007, has been standing at Arrow Stud.
He only covered around 50 - 60 mares in his first five years.
But, proving his consistency, he became a popular dirt stallion covering 100+ mares regularly every year.
And he is already fully booked for the 2022 season!!
He is such a handsome guy, too!

Oh I remember that too! That was the last Bluegrass Stakes run on the old "rail-bias" real dirt track at Keeneland in 2006. He won by some ridiculous number of lengths and earned an equally ridiculous BSF. The next 8 runnings were the synthetic years where the winners became so marginalized that the race lost its GI status. I kind of expect that to be restored pretty soon now, with the return to natural dirt.

I just posted in the In Memoriam, but Coolmore Australia announced the death of Choisir about an hour ago.

Both his sire Old Trieste and himself were ''super explosive'' when they brought their A-game, weren't they?
I know that Old Trieste was very popular among some of the A.P. Indy fans in Japan.
But it seemed like both lacked in the consistency.
Who could imagine that Old Trieste would become one of the key branches for the A.P. Indy sire-line via Sinister Minister?
Sinister Minister's AEI/CI is quite respectable, too.

Its really impressive because he died after only siring 3 crops and 198 foals.

When he was good, OT was fantastic...I was crushed that he died so young.

He’s very racy looking right now, got some filling out to do. But, he does look good. They seem quite proud of him.

Its real hard to read this article without laughing but what I got from their constant spinning to make him sound like he is a must breed to, he is too fast to not go to stud right now. His beyer speed numbers were just too high to not send him to the breeding shed immediately. In reality, I assume he got injured.

I mean, it says he was injured, but that was so vague....it could have easily been a minor injury that didn’t necessitate missing many months. I don’t know why the rush to retire him unless it was a serious injury, and if it was, that would mean he wasn’t sound. I expect he’ll be extremely popular...Flanders wrote: ↑Wed Dec 08, 2021 12:32 pmIts real hard to read this article without laughing but what I got from their constant spinning to make him sound like he is a must breed to, he is too fast to not go to stud right now.

I can’t wait to read what this poster on Steve Byk’s board has to say, though. Everytime a horse like this retires, he spoofs the overheated PR for the newly retired colt, and it’s hilarious - his one on Uncle Chuck is
