One of Australia's most revered racehorses, 10-time G1 winner #Octagonal has been euthanised at Woodlands aged 24. http://darley.to/bp

Does he ever look like Lonhro, wow. What a stunning family

For those lamenting the exportation of Colonel John and the subsequent concern for the Tiznow sire line, Gemologist has another nice 2yr old graded stakes winner.

Always thought he was a good-looking horse. Happy retirement to him!

Very happy to see Pyro's numbers so high. I think his offspring did something in Japan today because of a tweet I saw from Darley, but it really lost something in the English translation.

Kyoto 4R 1200m dirt Newcomer today was a one-two-three finish by Pyro(USA).

Tokei Raiden(JPN), race's odds-on favorite, won easily on debut wire-to-wire with something left.
Z Gamba(JPN) and Great Commander(JPN) came second and third respectively in a narrow margin.

Mosler at Country Life Farm. They've posted a video on Facebook of his arrival. Can't wait for more photos, he is stunning.

Save me the Equibase search. Who the heck is he? Ok, looked up anyway. Seems like a tough one to sell, but of course I wish them good luck.

I think he has a lot of quality - sire line, female family, million $ yearling (good conformation, good looking), lots of starts - so fairly durable, fast, SW. Lesser horses have gone to the breeding shed.

Three-time grade I winner Lord Nelson will stand at his owner B. Wayne Hughes' Spendthrift Farm upon retirement, the farm announced Oct. 16.

The announcement did not include when the 4-year-old colt would be retired.

War Front, Flatter and Algorithms' stud fees are all going up next year.

Discreet Cat to stand in Japan

Discreet Cat, winner of the famous G1 Cigar Mile and already the sire of six G1 horses (three of whom have won at the highest level), will stand as a Darley stallion in Japan for the forthcoming breeding season.

Sending Hard Spun and Street Sense there for a season seemed to work so maybe it'll do the same for him.

Izvestia · Tue Oct 18, 2016 9:50 pm

I remember when Discreet Cat was the 2nd coming... he's kind of just mentionable these days.

I was very excited about Secret Compass and bet her with She's A Tiger (who she beat in the Chandelier) in the 2013 BC Juvenile Fillies. That race is still a bad memory. No telling how good she could have been.

Izvestia · Wed Oct 19, 2016 1:55 am

I forgot about her

such a nice filly, could've been any kind.

American Pharoah saw 208 mares this season, of which 45% were stakes winners and 26% graded stakes winners, including 25 grade 1 winners.
33 of the mares in his book have already produced grade 1 winners, and 54 are stakes producers. This is the highest quality book for a first year sure since 2007 (Bernardini) and the 4th most numerous for a first year since 2000 (Lion Heart, 233 Chapel Royal 222 and Uncle Mo 211)
