Hip 3287 at the Keeneland September Yearling Sale

Lexington horsewoman Samantha Menker looks like a pinhooking genius.

In her first foray into Thoroughbred ownership, Menker paid $2,700 for a Gemologist   colt at this year’s Keeneland January mixed sale. Consigned to the Keeneland September yearling sale by Hill ‘n’ Dale Sales Agency on behalf of Menker, the colt was bought by Crupi’s New Castle Farm for $125,000, providing his owner with a huge windfall.

According to BloodHorse MarketWatch data, the colt had the second-highest return on investment among the 281 previously purchased horses sold during the September sale. After deducting the sales company’s 5% commission, the colt’s net price at Keeneland was $118,750. Subtracting total investment (previous sale price plus upkeep, estimated at $10,000 from time of purchase to being re-sold) left a $106,050 profit, an impressive 835% return on Menker’s investment.

Menker, who rides, breaks, and sells barrel horses under the SM Barrel Horses banner, is also a veterinary technician at Hagyard Equine Medical Institute near Lexington, working with Dr. Michael Hore. Since she attends all the sales as part of her job, Menker said she decided to buy a horse and was aided in her search by Donato Lanni from Hill ‘n’ Dale and Carrie Brogden who operates Machmer Hall Farm and is a partner in Select Sales.

The colt did not look very good and had some vet issues when consigned to the January sale, leading to the inexpensive price, Menker said, adding the colt was her year-end bonus from Hore.

The colt’s value had risen from the time of purchase until he went through the sales ring again, as Levante Lion, the colt’s half brother and first foal from the winning Ghostzapper   mare Ghostly Darkness, won a grade III stake in Japan.

Menker said she knew there was quite a bit of interest in the colt because a group of Japanese buyers inspected the colt at her barn before the sale, and while at Keeneland he was vetted three times on behalf of potential buyers.

“We knew we had some action on him but didn’t expect him to go for that much,” Menker said. “I think I got very lucky. The fact his brother would go on and win a grade III, we never would have imagined.”

Menker said she has no plans to rapidly expand her pinhooking venture, but will likely buy one or two horses a year. “I would probably buy another cheap one, not expecting the same result, but looking to make a little,” she said.

According to the MarketWatch data, an Uncle Mo filly bought for $30,000 by partners in the Cockaigne Ranch and sold by Four Star Sales for $450,000 had produced the September sale’s highest ROI. UNCLE MO FILLY MOST PROFITABLE AT KEENELAND

DOMENICA 25 SETTEMBRE 2016. Francia: Infortunio per La Cressonniere! La tre anni di Jean Claude Rouget dovrà rinunciare all’Arc de Triomphe

 
 
 

Colpo di scena! Ad una settimana dall’Arc de Triomphe G1, la corsa più attesa d’Europa perde una fortissima pretendente come La Cressonniere (Le Havre), imbattuta in 8 uscite e vincitrice di Poule d’Essai des Pouliches G1 e Prix de Diane G1, a causa di un leggero infortunio che le impedirà di essere al massimo a Chantilly. La Cressonniere, che era a 5/1, era la seconda favorita di una corsa che adesso avrà  ora in Postponed un caldissimo pretendente. 

Rouget, dominatore della stagione, ha parlato a Jour de Galop dicendo che dopo un bel canter di sabato mattina non è tornata nel migliore dei modi, ed essendo obbligati a somministrare dell’antidolorifico sarà impossibile essere al top fra una settimana. Non ancora chiara comunque l’entità dell’infortunio che potrebbe essere alle ossa pelviche o alle vertebre. Nonostante ciò non pensa sia gravissimo e conta di farla riposare tutto l’inverno prima di rimettersi in marcia per il 2017. Davvero una disdetta, non ci voleva nemmeno per Cristian Demuro che ora dovrà cercare una alternativa valida. Chissà che ora Rouget non ripensi adAlmanzor, preparato invece in chiave Champion Stakes G1 per non fare incontrare i suoi due migliori 3 anni.
Il ruolo di secondo favorito è passato il giapponese Makahiki (Deep Impact), con terza scelta per Found (Galileo). Il duplice derbywinner Harzand(STS), secondo Dermot Weld, correrà solo se pioverà a Chantilly. Martedì mattina la rifinitura e la decisione.

Left Hand, Postponed, Makahiki : les carrières des plus grands champions galopeurs des quatre coins du monde vont converger dimanche 2 octobre vers Chantilly, à l’occasion du célèbre Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe. Qui succédera à Trêve et Golden Horn ? Une chose est certaine, il va y avoir du sport…

Coup de théâtre à une semaine du Qatar Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe, l’une des grandes favorites, la Cressonnière déclare forfait. La championne de Jean-Claude Rouget, lauréate de la Poule d’Essai des Pouliches puis du Prix de Diane passera des examens mardi ou mercredi.  Cristian Demuro : « C’était un rêve, je ne me voyais pas battu… »

Si Midterm décline la lutte ce n’est pas sur blessure, son dernier travail samedi dernier s’est bien déroulé et le poulain est bien rentré après cet exercice. Dans une déclaration faite à la presse anglaise ce lundi, Teddy Grimthorpe  précise qu’il faut laisser une chance au pensionnaire de sir Michael Stoute, le poulain  ayant déjà pu revenir à la compétition après avoir contracté une blessure en début de saison.

Si le cheval entraîné par Dermot Weld fait pour la première fois le déplacement dans l’hexagone,Frankie Dettori est un habitué des grandes joutes tricolores. Sur les 27 groupes 1 figurant sur le calendrier français, seul 4 manquent à son palmarès. Dans le Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe Frankie est co-recordman de victoires parmi les jockeys en activité.
