<p>Sheikh Mohammed Obaid al Maktoum, a cousin of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid al Maktoum and one of the most influential owner-breeders of the modern era, has passed away.</p>
<p>For decades, his instantly recognizable yellow and black silks were a familiar sight at the sport’s highest level. From High-Rise’s Derby triumph to the exceptional Postponed, who captured the Coronation Cup, Juddmonte International and Dubai Sheema Classic, Sheikh Mohammed Obaid’s horses consistently performed on the world’s biggest stages. More recently, elite performers such as Rosallion, a brilliant Group 1-winning miler, and his close relative Inisherin, a top-class Group 1 sprinter, carried that legacy forward. As recently as last month, the homebred Royal Champion added further lustre with victory in the Bahrain Trophy, underlining the enduring strength of his breeding operation.</p>
<p>While the racecourse achievements alone would define a remarkable career, Sheikh Mohammed Obaid’s deepest and most lasting impact may lie in the breeding shed. He was the breeder of Zomaradah, the dam of the influential stallion Dubawi, a contribution that continues to shape pedigrees around the world. In more recent years, Reem Three emerged as another cornerstone of his legacy, reinforcing his reputation for developing elite female families that stand the test of time.</p>
<p>Sheikh Mohammed Obaid al Maktoum’s influence on international racing and breeding spans generations. Through champions on the track and blue-hen mares off it, his imprint on the Thoroughbred will endure long after his silks have been carried for the final time.</p>

<p>Group Chief Executive Henry Beeby added:</p>
<p>“His Highness was a truly inspirational person who gave so much to so many different people and areas of life. I felt privileged to have met him and will always be grateful for his advice and the time he gave to us”.</p>

</ul>
<hr data-testid="Text__8__GlideArticleBody" />
<p data-testid="Text__9__GlideArticleBody">&#8220;His Highness the Aga Khan was aged 23 in 1960 when he assumed leadership of the racing and breeding operation established by his grandfather in 1921, continuing a great family tradition of horsemanship. Thanks to his vision, direction and dedication, the Aga Khan Studs has grown to become one of the most prolific owner-breeders of racehorses in Europe.</p>
<p data-testid="Text__10__GlideArticleBody">&#8220;He has left an indelible mark on the global equestrian community, with a legacy of excellence that will continue to inspire generations to come.&#8221;</p>
<p data-testid="Text__11__GlideArticleBody">The Aga Khan owned some of the sport&#8217;s true greats, most notably the legendary Shergar. He owned four other dual Derby winners in Shahrastani, Kahyasi, Sinndar and Harzand, and won the Prix de l&#8217;Arc de Triomphe four times with Akiyda, Sinndar, Dalakhani and the unbeaten Zarkava.</p>
<p data-testid="Text__12__GlideArticleBody">Trained by Sir Michael Stoute, Shergar became one of the greatest racehorses of all time with a record-breaking ten-length triumph in the 1981 Derby under Walter Swinburn. The Aga Khan&#8217;s star backed it up with victories in the Irish Derby and King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes.</p>
<p data-testid="Text__13__GlideArticleBody">On February 8, 1983 the retired Shergar – who was valued at £10 million – was stolen by an armed gang from one of the Aga Khan&#8217;s studs and a ransom of £2m demanded. Communication broke off after four days when the syndicate of owners the Aga Khan put together for the stallion did not accept proof the horse was still alive. </p>
<p data-testid="Text__14__GlideArticleBody">No arrests have ever been made in relation to the theft and Shergar&#8217;s body has never been recovered or identified, making it the sport&#8217;s most famous mystery.</p>

</div>
</div>
<p data-testid="Text__16__GlideArticleBody">The Aga Khan&#8217;s main focus was in France, where he was the perennial champion breeder and owner and owned Haras de Bonneval breeding farm at Le Mesnil-Mauger, Haras d&#8217;Ouilly as well as properties in Saint-Crespin and Tupot. He was also the majority shareholder of French horse auction house Arqana. In Ireland, he owned four studs in Kildare, Gilltown Stud, where Sea The Stars stands, as well as Sallymount, Sheshoon and Ballyfair Studs.</p>
<p data-testid="Text__17__GlideArticleBody">In France, he supported Francis Graffard, Mikel Delzangles, Jean-Claude Rouget and, until his retirement at the end of 2021, Alain de Royer-Dupre, while in Ireland he was a patron of Dermot Weld and Michael Halford.</p>
<p data-testid="Text__18__GlideArticleBody">Christophe Soumillon was twice the Aga Khan&#8217;s retained rider, first between 2002 and 2009, as well as from 2014 to 2022. Mickael Barzalona is the current number one jockey.</p>
<p data-testid="Text__19__GlideArticleBody">The Aga Khan inherited his worldly and spiritual duties at 20 when his grandfather, Aga Khan III, died in July 1957. Three years later his father died in a car crash in Paris and he inherited the family&#8217;s racing empire. His first two winners came at Longchamp on May 22, 1960 when Istanbul and Charlottesville, both trained by Alec Head, were successful. </p>
<p data-testid="Text__20__GlideArticleBody">His first Arc winner, Akiyda, came in 1982 followed by Sinndar (2000), Dalakhani (2003) and Zarkava (2008). He also bred Daylami, while his Classic successes in 2024 came with Rouhiya in the French 1,000 Guineas and Ezeliya in the Oaks, who was his last Group 1 winner, ridden by Chris Hayes.</p>
<p data-testid="Text__21__GlideArticleBody">The Aga Khan was champion owner in France 16 times, in Britain twice and Ireland once. He was also champion breeder in France 12 times and five times in Britain.</p>
<p data-testid="Text__22__GlideArticleBody">In a statement posted on X, the BHA said: &#8220;We are saddened to learn that His Highness The Aga Khan has passed away. A passionate and highly successful owner-breeder, he has left an indelible mark on our sport and the thoroughbred breed.</p>
<p data-testid="Text__23__GlideArticleBody">&#8220;Those famous green and red silks have been carried to victory on the biggest stage and by some of our most illustrious names, notably Shergar&#8217;s iconic record-breaking ten-length Derby success – the most memorable of the Aga Khan&#8217;s five victories in the Epsom Classic. Our thoughts and condolences are with his family.&#8221;</p>
<p data-testid="Text__24__GlideArticleBody">Baroness Dido Harding, senior steward of the Jockey Club, said: &#8220;His Highness the Aga Khan was a highly successful owner-breeder who made a huge contribution to horseracing. It is a tribute to him that his lasting legacy is not only a long and illustrious list of racehorses who won some of our sport&#8217;s most prestigious races over many years, but also the equine families he bred and nurtured which have made and continue to make an indelible mark on the thoroughbred as a breed.</p>
<p data-testid="Text__25__GlideArticleBody">&#8220;His iconic silks and passion for the sport will also live long in the memory, as will Shergar&#8217;s famous victory in the Derby at Epsom in 1981. We are deeply saddened to learn of his death and our thoughts and best wishes are with his family.&#8221; </p>

<p data-testid="Text__27__GlideArticleBody">Suzanne Eade, chief executive of Horse Racing Ireland, said: &#8220;We are greatly saddened to learn of the passing of His Highness the Aga Khan. His Highness was an iconic figure in the global racing industry. He was recognised the world over as a champion breeder and a champion owner and he made his mark in many countries, with Ireland playing a significant role in his family’s renowned operation for over 100 years. </p>
<p data-testid="Text__28__GlideArticleBody">&#8220;On so many levels, Irish racing and breeding will forever be in his debt. We were honoured to present His Highness with Horse Racing Ireland’s contribution to the industry award last December. We hope that recognition went some way towards acknowledging his immense contribution, wonderful generosity and unwavering support of our industry for so many years.&#8221;</p>
<p data-testid="Text__29__GlideArticleBody">The Aga Khan&#8217;s last winners came in a treble at Chantilly in December with Surabad, Candelari and Cankoura, while Calandagan&#8217;s victory in the King Edward VII Stakes at Royal Ascot last year was his last in Britain.</p>
<p data-testid="Text__30__GlideArticleBody">In a statement, Ascot said: &#8220;We are deeply saddened to hear that His Highness The Aga Khan has died and we send our condolences to his family. He enjoyed much success at Ascot with the great Shergar, as well as Alamshar, Azamour, Tahiyra and many others. His support of racing will be much missed.&#8221;</p>
<p data-testid="Text__31__GlideArticleBody">The Aga Khan sold 1997 French 2,000 Guineas winner Daylami to Sheikh Mohammed and Godolphin. He went on to win a host of Group 1s in the royal blue silks and was also the world champion racehorse in 1999.</p>
<p data-testid="Text__32__GlideArticleBody">Godolphin said in a statement: &#8220;Godolphin is saddened to hear of the death of His Highness the Aga Khan, one of the greatest owner-breeders the racing industry has known. We send our condolences to his family.&#8221;</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Il cavallo, è senza dubbio l’animale che nei vari secoli, più di qualunque altro essere vivente, ha aiutato e supportato l’uomo nelle sue attività: dal lavoro quotidiano, alle guerre di conquista, alle imprese sportive.</p>
<p>Assieme ad Aristide Malnati riviviamo alcune tappe, pietre miliari del rapporto uomo/cavallo: dai tempi della Magna Grecia alla Terra Santa, dall’antico Egitto fino ai nostri giorni, ma anche dalla Cambogia antica a quella attuale, parlando anche dei cavalli mitologici che tanto attirano la fantasia dei bambini. <em>Questo è stato anche il tema della prima parte della 5° puntata del nostro programma TV &#8220;MONDO CAVALLO&#8221; del 17 marzo 2023, andata in onda su Telenova e pubblicata su YouTube. </em><span style="color: #0000ff;"><strong><em> </em></strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;"><strong><em>Il link per vedere la 5°puntata di Mondo Cavallo è</em></strong></span><span style="color: #0000ff;"><strong><em><span style="color: #0000ff;">:</span> </em></strong></span><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><span style="color: #0000ff; text-decoration: underline;"><strong><em><a title="5° Puntata di MONDO CAVALLO 2023" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y2HEb0asoC0 "><span style="color: #0000ff; text-decoration: underline;">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y2HEb0asoC0</span></a></em></strong><a title="5° Puntata di MONDO CAVALLO 2023" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y2HEb0asoC0 "><span style="color: #0000ff; text-decoration: underline;"> </span></a></span></span></p>
<p><strong>Grecia</strong>, “<em>Grande patria del cavallo</em>” così esordisce Aristide, ricordando subito <strong><em>Pegaso</em></strong>, il mitologico cavallo alato che fu generato da Posidone e dalla Gorgone Medusa e che Zeus Re dell’Olimpo, utilizzava per portare e lanciare le folgori. &#8220;<em>Oppure viene alla mente Fetonte, che non riusciva a manovrare le redini dei cavalli imbizzarriti del carro di fuoco di suo padre Febo Apollo e che cadde sulla terra bruciandone vaste parti”</em>.</p>
<p>Tutto questo per dire che il cavallo nel “mito” è fortemente presente. Ricordiamo il prode Achille, l’eroe chiave dell’Iliade, figlio della dea Teti e del mortale Peleo, re dei Mirmidoni popolo della Tessaglia, che aveva <strong><em>Balio </em></strong>(cavallo immortale) e<strong><em> Xanto</em></strong> a supportarlo nelle immortali gesta con il suo cocchio guidato dal fidato Automedonte. </p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><a href="https://www.galoppoecharme.it/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/1Balio-e-Xanto.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-large wp-image-47380" title="Balio e Xanto" src="https://www.galoppoecharme.it/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/1Balio-e-Xanto-680x382.jpg" alt="" width="680" height="382" /></a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Più di tutti però il cavallo che, nell’immaginario collettivo viene più spesso ricordato abbinato all’antica Grecia, è <strong><em>Bucefalo</em></strong>. E così si esprime Aristide su questo destriero: “<em>L’amico speciale di Alessandro Magno, il cui nome significa testa di bue ad indicarne la possenza, aveva un occhio azzurro ed uno scuro, era un cavallo particolare con cui Alessandro, allora definibile come re del mondo, instaurò un legame particolare quasi simbiotico</em>”. Questo binomio fantastico nasce perché Filippo il Macedone, primo proprietario di Bucefalo, aveva problemi nella sua doma. Alessandro si accorse che il cavallo aveva paura della sua ombra e quindi lo volse con il muso verso il sole in modo che non la potesse vedere, così potè salirgli in groppa. Da quella volta il binomio fu indissolubile. Bucefalo morì in India per le ferite riportate nella battaglia nel Punjab nel 326 a.C. contro l’indiano Re Poro, che aveva una cavalleria dotata anche di poderosi elefanti. Sulla tomba di Bucefalo è stata fondata una città: Alessandria Bucefala, oggi Jhelum.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><a href="https://www.galoppoecharme.it/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/3-bucefalo-alessa.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-large wp-image-47382" title="Bucefalo il destriero di Alessandro Magno" src="https://www.galoppoecharme.it/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/3-bucefalo-alessa-680x382.jpg" alt="" width="680" height="382" /></a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Terra Santa</strong>, “<em>Sono stato da poco in Israele, a Gerusalemme, nelle città vecchia dove c’è il Tempio di Erode, nel quale esistono delle carreggiate dove allora passavano coi carri</em>”, ci spiega Aristide. Deve essere sottolineato il fatto che allora i re entravano in città a cavallo di un asino, proprio come fece Gesù. Solo più tardi nel 69 d.C. la cavalleria romana stravolse le regole portando in Terra Santa cavalli di origine della Maremma laziale e cavalli celtici (acquisiti nelle conquiste), infatti ricorda Aristide: &#8220;<em>gli Hyksos nomadi semiti che vivevano della Mesopotamia, avevano portato il cavallo nell’Anatolia e nell’Egitto nel 1600 a.C.”</em></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><a href="https://www.galoppoecharme.it/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/6-BIS-san-giuseppe-basilica-san-francesco-giotto.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-large wp-image-47383" title="San Giuseppe nella Basilica San Francesco di Giotto" src="https://www.galoppoecharme.it/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/6-BIS-san-giuseppe-basilica-san-francesco-giotto-680x382.jpg" alt="" width="680" height="382" /></a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Per parlare di binomi stravaganti, ricordiamo che dal 37 al 41 d.C., Caligola avrebbe voluto nominare senatore il suo cavallo di nome <em><strong>Incitatus</strong>.</em> Mentre, ci dice Aristide: “<em>Masada (antica fortezza nella Giudea, sita su una rocca a 400 metri di altitudine rispetto al Mar Morto), è il luogo dove la Legione romana Decima Fretense nel 70/72 a.C. dotata di cavalleria, sedò la rivolta dei ribelli giudei (Zeloti) sollevatisi a seguito della morte di Erode. Ed ancora oggi esistono importanti vestigia di questi avvenimenti storici”.</em></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><a href="https://www.galoppoecharme.it/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/9incitatus-cavallo-di-Caligola.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-large wp-image-47385" title="Incitatus cavallo di Caligola" src="https://www.galoppoecharme.it/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/9incitatus-cavallo-di-Caligola-680x382.jpg" alt="" width="680" height="382" /></a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Poi viene da pensare al periodo delle Crociate, al grande condottiero Barbarossa che lottò in Terra Santa. Cioè si fronteggiarono allora una cavalleria leggera ed agile, quella del “feroce Saladino”, contro una cavalleria più pesante fatta di cavalli normanni ed anglo-sassoni.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Luoghi questi che Aristide Malnati ha da poco visitato con Virginia Reniero co-conduttrice per il programma televisivo “<em>Storia e Misteri” </em>e che sono descritti anche nel libro<em> &#8220;I Mille Volti d&#8217;Oriente&#8221;, </em>scritto proprio da Aristide e Virginia per Giraldi Editore<em>.</em></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><a href="https://www.galoppoecharme.it/wordpress/editoriali/news/47377/02042023-con-legittologo-aristide-malnati-ospite-nella-5puntata-del-nostro-programma-tv-mondo-cavallo-ripercorriamo-la-storia-del-cavallo-dai-tempi-antichi-ai-giorni-nostri/attachment/aristide-malnati-e-virgina-reniero-sulla-cover-de-lolo-libro-i-mille-volti-doriente-2" rel="attachment wp-att-47390"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-47390" title="Aristide Malnati e Virginia Reniero sulla cover del loro libro &quot; I mille volti d'oriente&quot;" src="https://www.galoppoecharme.it/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Aristide-Malnati-e-Virgina-Reniero-sulla-cover-de-lolo-libro-I-Mille-Volti-dOriente1-500x749.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="749" /></a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Egitto</strong>, “<em>Mia area confort</em>” – dice Aristide – “<em>Nel periodo faraonico (secondo periodo intermediario) quasi all’inizio del nuovo regno, arrivarono gli Hyksos come già accennato, con i cavalli che erano stati finalmente domati”. I faraoni assieme agli assiri, furono i primi a creare un attacco con ruote: il cocchio”</em>. Molto efficace per fare guerra e per andare a caccia.  A questo proposito Aristide ci parla del famoso Tutankhamon nel 1321 a.C. : “<em>durante una battuta di caccia Tutankhamon cadde dal cocchio e si procurò un ferita al ginocchio poi sfociata in setticemia che lo portò alla morte, di cui si è venuti a conoscenza grazie ad una TAC fatta sulla sua mummia”. </em></p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Anche in questo contesto esistono racconti fantastici come quello delle <em>50 giumente</em> (cavalle da riproduzione) che Maometto sottopose alla prova di “obbedienza”, chiamandole a sè mentre erano assetate e solo 5 di esse si recarono da lui prima di andare a bere. Proprio da queste 5 giumente si dice sia nata la pura razza “<em>Asil</em>” che fece dell’allevamento del cavallo “arabo puro” quasi un dogma religioso.</p>

<p>Da questa leggenda nascono le linee genealogiche dei purosangue arabi che gli uomini blu, i Tuareg, allevavano nel deserto (desert-bred), che nel tempo diedero vita alle linee di sangue base del cavallo definito <em>purosangue inglese</em>, il galoppatore, il cavallo che si vede oggi negli ippodromi di tutto il mondo con in sella il fantino. Razza che ha avuto origine proprio da tre capostipiti di provenienza medio-orientale: <em>Darley Arabian</em> (1730), <em>Godolphin Arabian</em> (erroneamente più volte citato come berb) (1724) e <em>Byerley Turk</em> (1705). Nasce così lo Stud Book inglese nel 1793 che raccoglie tutti gli stalloni e le fattrici discendenti di questi tre capostipiti, in tutto il mondo.</p>

<p>Storia, cavalli, mitologia, sono argomenti di grande fascino che affronteremo anche in seguito, parlando di altri periodo storici e altri cavalli famosi come per esempio: Marengo il cavallo di Napoleone Bonaparte o Ronzinante il destriero (si fa per dire) di Don Chisciotte. Sono tanti i momenti storici che vedono il cavallo impegnato in qualcosa di sensazionale, come le conquiste di Gengis Khan, che a cavallo realizzò un impero che si estendeva dalla Mongolia a Cracovia. Ma di questo parleremo in seguito&#8230;.</p>

<p>By <em>Kelsey Riley</em></p>
<p>His Highness Prince Khalid bin Abdullah, one of the most successful owner/breeders in the history of the sport through his Juddmonte Farms dynasty, died on Jan. 12 in his 84th year.</p>
<p>Prince Khalid’s famous green, pink and white silks have been immortalized in the annals of the sport, having been carried transatlantically by 118 Grade/Group 1 winners headed by champions like Frankel (GB), Dancing Brave (GB), Enable (GB) and Arrogate among many others. He campaigned over 500 stakes winners, of which he bred over 440.</p>
<p>Douglas Erskine Crum, chief executive officer of Juddmonte, said on Tuesday, “The whole of Juddmonte feels a huge sense of loss. Prince Khalid will always be remembered as a quiet, dignified, benevolent family man, whose horses spoke for him. He leaves a legacy that will stand the test of time. His contribution to the development of the Thoroughbred will have long-lasting effects.”</p>
<p>Prince Khalid bin Abdullah was born in 1937 in Saudi Arabia and was a member of the House Of Saud, the Saudi Royal family, his father Abdullah bin Abdul-Rahman being a younger half-brother to King Abdulaziz, the founder and first monarch of Saudi Arabia. Prince Khalid studied in both Riyadh and the U.S. before going on to be an extremely successful businessman, chief among his accomplishments in that realm being the development of the private investment company Mawarid Holding, which has diverse portfolios in financial services, manufacturing, construction, medical supplies, telecommunications, the media and more.</p>
<p>Despite Prince Khalid’s extensive business successes, he will perhaps be best remembered for his profound contributions to the Thoroughbred breed. The foundation for the quality that has reverberated unrelentingly throughout the Juddmonte genes over the past 40-plus years was laid right from the outset. Prince Khalid bought his first yearlings in 1978 and the following year, his advisors Humphrey Cottrill and James Delahooke signed for the two most expensive yearlings at the Tattersalls Houghton Sale, including the record-priced Sand Hawk (GB) (Grundy {GB}) at 264,000gns. While Sand Hawk would fail to truly build on his promise, an In Reality colt selected at Keeneland the same year certainly did not: Known Fact would, in 1980, became Prince Khalid’s first Classic winner in the G1 2000 Guineas less than a year after his silks had graced a winner’s enclosure for the first time atop Charming Native (Princely Native) in a Windsor maiden race. In the interim, Prince Khalid had also notched a first Royal Ascot win with Abeer (Dewan) in the G3 Queen Mary S. in addition to Known Fact’s scores at two in the Mill Reef S. and Middle Park S. On the occasion of Known Fact’s Guineas victory, Prince Khalid became the first Arab owner to win a British Classic, a realm in which he went on to garner plenty of competition, with the Maktoum family making their entrance to the sport only a short time later.</p>
<p>Known Fact went on to win the G1 Queen Elizabeth II S. and earn champion miler honors for trainer Jeremy Tree before retiring as a foundation sire to Juddmonte’s nursery in Wargrave-upon-Thames in Berkshire. He relocated in 1987 to Juddmonte’s American division at the former Belair Farm south of Lexington, which Prince Khalid had purchased in 1982. Known Fact’s stud career was highlighted by Gerald Leigh’s champion miler Markofdistinction (GB) and Warning (GB), a top 2-year-old who went on to win the G1 Sussex S. and Queen Elizabeth II S. for Prince Khalid and sire five Group 1 winners from Banstead Manor Stud.</p>
<p>In the meantime, the fillies recruited during Prince Khalid’s formative years as an owner were sowing the seeds of a broodmare band of nearly unprecedented proportions. Prince Khalid’s first homebred winner came in the form of Fine Edge (GB) at Newmarket in 1982. The prior year, Prince Khalid had privately purchased Slightly Dangerous (Roberto) after she had won the G3 Fred Darling S. at two for trainer Barry Hills, and she became the dam of Prince Khalid’s dual Group 1 winner Warning as well as Prince Khalid’s 1993 Derby winner Commander In Chief (GB), by his great G1 Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe winner Dancing Brave (Lyphard). Slightly Dangerous also left behind the Group 2 winner and sire Dushyantor (Sadler’s Wells) and the GI Flower Bowl scorer and multiple Classic-placed Yashmak (Danzig), herself the dam of G1 Jean-Luc Lagardere winner Full Mast (Mizzen Mast).</p>
<p>Other fillies accrued during this era whose names still feature in the pedigrees of Juddmonte-bred luminaries today include Monroe (Sir Ivor, out of Best In Show), whose descendants include Prince Khalid’s Logician (GB), Xaar (GB), Bated Breath (GB), Cityscape (GB) and Close Hatches; and Sookera (Roberto), who among many other notable stakes winners is the second dam of <a href="https://www.thoroughbreddailynews.com/juddmonte-blue-hen-hasili-dead/">Hasili (Ire)</a> (Kahyasi {Ire}), who produced a remarkable five homebred Grade/Group 1 winners for Prince Khalid-Champs Elysees (GB), Intercontinential (GB), Banks Hill (GB), Cacique (Ire) and Heat Haze (GB). All bar Heat Haze (Green Desert) were by another Prince Khalid homebred, Danehill (Danzig). Champs Elysees and Cacique both stood at Juddmonte’s Banstead Manor Stud alongside their full-brother Dansili (GB). Frankel (GB) is a great-grandson of Rockfest (Stage Door Johnny), who was purchased from Jock Whitney, while Enable’s fourth dam Fleet Girl (Ire) (Habitat) was part of a handful of mares that were included in the Belair Farm deal. Prince Khalid purchased Mofida (GB) (Right Tack {GB}) in foal to The Minstrel from Robert Sangster in 1981. The resulting filly was Zaizafon, who would produce the sires Zafonic and Zamindar. The stakes-winning Bahamian (Ire) (Mill Reef) was a 310,000gns yearling purchase in 1986, and she went on to produce the G1 Irish Oaks winner Wemyss Bight (GB) (Dancing Brave) and is the ancestress of two of Juddmonte’s best sires, Oasis Dream (GB) and Kingman (GB).</p>
<p>All the while as his homebred stock began to step out, Prince Khalid continued to supplement his program with yearlings purchased at the sales. Pivotal among those was Rainbow Quest (Blushing Groom {Fr}), from the family of Slightly Dangerous and bought by James Delahooke for $950,000 at Fasig-Tipton’s July Yearling Sale in 1982. Rainbow Quest was good for Jeremy Tree at two and three but blossomed into a champion at four to win the G1 Coronation Cup and the Arc. Rainbow Quest was honored by Timeform as the first horse since Mill Reef and Brigadier Gerard (GB) to earn a rating of at least 130 at ages two, three and four.</p>
<p>Prince Khalid had purchased Banstead Manor Stud near Newmarket in 1987, and thus Rainbow Quest was the perfect candidate to be its foundation sire. Rainbow Quest was an immediate hit, siring three Group 1 winners from his first crop including Quest For Fame (GB), who won the 1990 Derby for Khalid Abdullah and Roger Charlton and was the first of three winners of the blue riband for his owner, later joined by Commander In Chief (GB) (Dancing Brave) for Sir Henry Cecil in 1993 and Workforce (GB) (King’s Best) in 2010 for Sir Michael Stoute.</p>
<p>As Rainbow Quest was fulfilling his prophecy on the racecourse, Delahooke ventured back to Kentucky for the Keeneland July Sale in 1984, where he selected a bay son of Lyphard for $200,000. Put into training at two with Guy Harwood, the colt named Dancing Brave won a pair of conditions races at two, and while Prince Khalid also campaigned that year’s G1 William Hill Futurity winner Bakharoff (The Minstrel), it was no secret who was regarded as the better. Dancing Brave fulfilled all the hopes and expectations placed on him at three, taking the 2000 Guineas, Eclipse S., King George VI and Queen Elizabeth S. and the Arc. His only losses came in the Derby after a luckless run and the GI Breeders’ Cup Turf. Dancing Brave was unanimously voted the 1986 Horse of the Year.</p>
<p>Dancing Brave took up residence at Darley’s Dalham Hall, where Prince Khalid supported him with great success, breeding the 1993 Derby winner Commander In Chief and the same year’s Irish Oaks victress Wemyss Bight.</p>
<p>While that accomplishment was excellent on its own merits, Dancing Brave’s record as a sire paled in comparison to what Prince Khalid achieved with another colt sent away from home to stand at stud: Danehill. Bred by Prince Khalid out of Razyana (His Majesty), Danehill was placed in the 2000 Guineas before winning the G3 Cork and Orrery S. (now the G1 Diamond Jubilee S. at Royal Ascot) and the G1 Haydock Sprint Cup for Jeremy Tree. Danehill was snapped up for a wildly successful transcontinental shuttle career by Coolmore; his record of 84 Group 1 winners was surpassed just last year by Galileo (Ire). Like Dancing Brave, Juddmonte patronised Danehill plenty, their many stakes winners by the sire including Frankel’s listed-winning dam Kind (Ire).</p>
<p>With the retirement of Jeremy Tree in the 1989, a handful of trainers came to the fore who would be pivotal in shaping the Juddmonte dynasty, including Tree’s Beckhampton successor Roger Charlton, who enjoyed immediate success with G1 Prix du Jockey Club scorer Sanglamore and Derby victor Quest For Fame in the same season; and Andre Fabre, whose standouts in the pink, white and green were headed by the Classic and four-time Group 1 winner Zafonic. But the two training titans most closely associated with Prince Khalid in the post-Tree era were Sir Henry Cecil and Bobby Frankel. And while the two men could hardly be more different by nature, they will be inextricably linked in history by the greatest horse that Prince Khalid-and, perhaps, anyone-ever produced.</p>
<p>A common feature of Prince Khalid’s racing program was his enjoyment and patronage of American racing, and in addition to those he bred in Kentucky, Prince Khalid sent many a European-trained runner across the Atlantic to try their hand on the American turf. John Gosden, who has now trained for Prince Khalid for nearly 40 years, was the recipient of many of those runners when based in California in the 1980s, and upon his return to Newmarket it was the New Yorker Bobby Frankel who was the main beneficiary. Incidentally, one of the most influential mares to come through Prince Khalid’s program started out in Europe with Gosden before later joining Frankel in California. Her name was Toussaud (El Gran Senor), and she won the GI Gamely H. before throwing four Grade I winners headed by GI Belmont S. winner and sire Empire Maker (Unbridled)-his 13 Grade I winners as a sire include Juddmonte’s four-time top-level winner Emollient–and Honest Lady (Seattle Slew), who is also the dam of First Defence, who in turn sired Prince Khalid’s 2020 G1 Irish 2000 Guineas winner Siskin as well as five-time Grade I winner Close Hatches. Other Juddmonte standouts trained by Frankel included Sightseek (Distant View), Exbourne (Explodent), Marquetry (Conquistador Cielo), Ventura (Chester House), Midships (Mizzen Mast) and Champs Elysees.</p>
<p>When Bobby Frankel died in 2009, Khalid Abdullah set out to select a colt of the highest quality to name in his honor. The man that would have the honor of training the colt was Sir Henry Cecil, who had already repaid Prince Khalid’s patronage with the 1993 Derby victory of Commander In Chief, the 1997 Oaks score of Reams Of Verse and the 1000 Guineas win of Wince in 1999, as well as multiple Group 1 winners like Passage Of Time (GB), Midday (GB) and Twice Over (GB) into the 21st century. But the horse for whom they will both be best remembered hadn’t yet stepped foot on a racecourse. But he was well worth the wait.</p>
<p>A third generation Juddmonte homebred by Galileo, Frankel (Ire) set the stage with a four-race undefeated juvenile campaign in 2010, but few likely could have predicted, or dared to dream of, what would come next. After winning the G3 Greenham S. by four lengths, Frankel took control of the 2000 Guineas from the break and sprinted the mile on a loose rein, winning by a jaw-dropping six lengths. He would go on to add the G1 St James’s Palace S., G1 Sussex S. and G1 Queen Elizabeth II S. by season’s end. After absolutely thrashing the opposition in the G1 Lockinge S., G1 Queen Anne S. and the Sussex the following summer, he stepped up in trip to similarly dominate the G1 Juddmonte International and the G1 Champion S. Frankel is said to have been the exact dose of medicine Sir Henry needed while battling cancer, and the beloved Newmarket trainer sadly died a year and a half after Frankel left his care on June 11, 2013. Frankel is the horse that both Cecil and Abdullah will be best remembered for. But one thing Prince Khalid will never be forgotten for among racing circles is how he stood by Cecil through thick and thin, including his well documented personal and professional struggles of the late 1990s and early 2000s. Prince Khalid’s embarrassment of success on the racecourse is the mark of his success in sport and business. His fierce belief in and loyalty to a man that had served him so well is the sign of the true honour with which he conducted himself.</p>
<p>Just like his trainer and now his owner, Frankel’s legacy lives on and continues to build; he has made an explosive start at stud and his Group 1 winners include Khalid Abdullah homebreds Logician (GB), winner of the 2019 G1 St Leger for John Gosden, and Quadrilateral (GB), the champion 2-year-old filly of 2019 trained by Roger Charlton at Beckhampton, right back where it all began.</p>
<p>As Frankel was quietly building up to his racecourse debut in 2010, Workforce was working his way through a memorable 3-year-old campaign for Prince Khalid from the yard of Sir Michael Stoute. In May he handed his breeder his third win in the Derby in just his third start, and he would become Prince Khalid’s fourth Arc winner, joining Rainbow Quest (1985), Dancing Brave (1986) and Rail Link (GB) (Dansili {GB}) (2006). The Prince came desperately close to getting another when Flintshire (GB) (Dansili {GB}) finished runner-up in both 2014 and 2015 in the midst of a campaign that saw him win five Grade/Group 1s in three different countries. At the same time, Kingman (GB) (Invincible Spirit {Ire}) was stringing together a stellar 3-year-old campaign for John Gosden in 2014, winning the G1 Irish 2000 Guineas, G1 St James’s Palace S., G1 Sussex S. and G1 Prix Jacques le Marois and earning Cartier Horse of the Year honours. Like Frankel, he has made an excellent start to his stud career, with three Group 1 winners including last year’s Cartier champion 3-year-old Palace Pier (GB).</p>
<p>Meanwhile, the career of another Juddmonte superstar was budding in the U.S. Following the death of Bobby Frankel, Prince Khalid spread his American-based horses mostly among Bob Baffert and Chad Brown, and in addition put in place a new business plan that saw him supplement his homebred program with a handful of colts purchased at auction and bred for the top dirt races. His team spent $560,000 at Keeneland September in 2014 on a grey colt by Unbridled’s Song that they dispatched to Baffert. After quietly building up the colt with a gradual introduction in Southern California, Baffert sent Arrogate to Saratoga for his stakes debut in the GI Travers in 2016. Arrogate absolutely demolished the opposition in track record time at 11-1, and built on that effort with sublime performances in the GI Breeders’ Cup Classic, GI Pegasus World Cup and GI Dubai World Cup, in the latter stumbling out of the gate and sitting last before circling the entire field. Arrogate will be represented by his first runners this year, and if he passes a modicum of his talent onto his progeny his untimely death last June at the age of seven will prove a huge blow.</p>
<p>By the time Arrogate’s racing career was winding down in the autumn of 2017, Prince Khalid had yet another superstar very much out in the open in Europe with Gosden. Enable (GB) (Nathaniel {Ire}) had made her considerable talent well known with a five-length romp in the G1 Epsom Oaks, and by season’s end had compiled a glowing record after adding wins in the G1 Irish Oaks, G1 King George VI and Queen Elizabeth S., G1 Yorkshire Oaks and the Arc. It is a nod to just how remarkable Enable was, however, that by the time she retired from racing another three last years later last autumn, those lofty 3-year-old accomplishments seemed a distant memory. After missing most of her 4-year-old campaign due to setbacks, Enable pulled off an incredible Arc double off just one prep race before shipping to Churchill Downs to take the GI Breeders’ Cup Turf on the same card that Prince Khalid won the GI Mile with another homebred, Expert Eye (GB). A much more traditional campaign at five saw Enable take the G1 Coral-Eclipse, and a second King George and Yorkshire Oaks, but the very soft going likely contributed to her unraveling in the very late stages of her third Arc attempt and succumbing to Waldgeist (GB) (Galileo {Ire}).</p>
<p>It was widely assumed that Enable would now be headed off to join Prince Khalid’s broodmare band, his decision in keeping his precious mare in training until five being such a sporting one. But in confirming that Enable would try once again for a historic third Arc in 2020, Prince Khalid laid bare his love for the sport that had been so good to him, and he it. Enable indeed did record a historic treble, but it was in the King George, with the great mare managing just sixth in another soft-ground Arc on Oct. 4. She was retired thereafter with 15 wins from 19 starts, including 11 Group 1s, and earnings of over £9.6-million. She is set to visit Kingman for her first mating this spring.</p>
<p>That resulting foal, the progeny of two Horses of the Year, will be incredibly anticipated by many. Such is the breadth of Prince Khalid bin Abdullah’s Juddmonte legacy, however, that he or she will be but one small bud on a towering oak that branches off in so many directions. Today, Juddmonte stands six Grade/Group 1 winners and/or sires in two countries. Its consignments of fillies and mares at Tattersalls, annually without fail, draws a vibrant international crowd ringside, all intoxicated by the notion that they may be able to capture a small piece of that Juddmonte magic for themselves. Many have.</p>
<p>The enormity of the loss of His Highness Prince Khalid bin Abdullah to the global Thoroughbred industry is immeasurable. He was a sportsman who loved the game of racing and breeding and the challenge of matching up his homebreds to produce superior athletes. It is quite possible we will never again see his equal. But as many of Prince Khalid’s lines continue to grow strong after 40 years, it is likely we will be paying homage to him for many generations to come.</p>
<p><em>Charlton Leads Tributes To Prince Khalid Abdullah</em></p>
<p>Roger Charlton, who trained Quest For Fame (GB) and Sanglamore to win the Derby and Prix du Jockey Club for Juddmonte in 1990, said on <em>Sky Sports Racing</em>, “I think the whole of the racing industry appreciates what Prince Khalid achieved with Juddmonte Farms. Life is full of luck and being in the right place at the right time and how lucky was I? He was a wonderful owner to deal with and I owe him everything. It’s a huge loss.</p>
<p>“He was always a great pleasure to talk to before a race and/or after a race, and of course he was hugely knowledgeable. He had huge passion for it and I think that’s really important. Any owner/breeder goes through rough patches, bad horses, bad stallions, but his passion was always there right to the end. It was marvellous that he had horses like Arrogate, Kingman, Frankel and Enable towards the end. It was a real testament to a fantastic operation.</p>
<p>“Generally speaking it’s fair to say that every trainer, jockey, breeder and owner in this country had immense respect for Prince Khalid. I don’t think too many people ever found fault with what he did. He was generous, in sponsoring some great races as well as owning horses. His life was full of great credit and he was very humble.</p>
<p>“He was a colossal contributor to racing. I shall personally miss him a lot and I’m forever grateful that I’ve been able to train the horses that I have.”</p>
<p>John Gosden, trainer of Enable (GB), Kingman (GB) and Oasis Dream (GB), reflected, “He sparked an interest going racing in Paris in the 1950s and then some 15 or 20 years later decided to set up a breeding operation with Jeremy Tree as his advisor. What he created in the first 20 years, never mind 40 years, is beyond extraordinary, and to be a leading owner in Europe and America within the period he did it speaks bounds for his knowledge and his strategic approach. He knew the pedigrees of his horses inside out—you could never catch him out on pedigrees.</p>
<p>“He was the most charming man. He was incredibly humorous, steely, tough— you’d better be on your mettle with him—but the most amazing man to train for. We all had an awful lot of fun together because he enjoyed being with the horses. It was his passion and he always referred to it as his one great luxury.</p>
<p>“Prince Khalid wasn’t particularly well while Kingman was racing but he was in Deauville when he won the Jacques le Marois. He didn’t come to the races but he came to the stables a couple of hours later and we stood the horse up for him  and he stood there and looked at the horse, walked around him and patted him. He had the most wonderful affinity with horses. With Enable, he saw her in the Arc in 2018 and he enjoyed that very much but he was quite fragile by that stage and we never saw him at the races after that, but he watched every race on television.”</p>
<p>Dermot Weld, trainer of Emulous (GB) and Famous Name (GB), said, “I’d like to extend my sympathy firstly to his family. He is a huge loss to the racing industry because  he was one of the pillars of the breeding industry in the world for the last 50 years. He was the man who raced Frankel, Kingman, Enable, and he gave us though this brilliance these wonderful horses to enjoy.</p>
<p>“Two words I’d like to say: when you talk about Juddmonte you talk about excellence, and when you talk about Prince Khalid you talk about loyalty. In this changing world this was a great quality that shone out from the man.”</p>
<p>Bob Baffert, trainer of Breeders’ Cup Classic and Dubai World Cup winner Arrogate, told <em>Sky Sports Racing</em>, “He was definitely one of the titans of racing. He was such a gentleman, a really low-key kind of guy who trusted his trainers. The biggest compliment a horse trainer in America could get is if he wanted you to train his horses.”</p>
<p>Lady Jane Cecil, trainer of G1 Champion S. winner Noble Mission (GB), reflected on the longstanding relationship between Prince Khalid and her late husband, Sir Henry Cecil. She said, “They had a special friendship which meant a great deal to Henry. They were very different but they got on very well and I think Henry amused the Prince.</p>
<p>“[The Prince] was so loyal. Imagine him allowing me to train Noble Mission. He’s Frankel’s full-brother and with him allowing me to do that, and being loyal and supportive, which of course was an extension of his loyalty to Henry, it meant that Warren Place had that fantastic day at Ascot which will live with me forever.”</p>
<p>Frankie Dettori: “He was a great of the sport. I had one of my early Group 1s aboard a horse he owned called Ryafan in the Prix Marcel Boussac, who was trained by John [Gosden]. He was amazing and a true giant of the sport. You could go on naming all the great horses he has owned, but you would have to say Enable, Frankel and Dancing Brave are the three that stand out.</p>
<p>“Enable will always be the apple of my eye and the last time I saw him was when she won her second Arc. He was a real gentleman and he loved his horses. He was very passionate and knowledgeable about them and the results speak for themselves. What he has done for the whole industry is fantastic.</p>
<p>“Though Enable will always stand out to me, Frankel will always be the best horse that I’ve seen and have had to race against. I went to see Dancing Brave win the 2000 Guineas in 1986–I wasn’t riding then and he was incredible. He was then beaten in that famous Derby before winning the King George and the Arc.</p>
<p>“I grew up in an era watching horses like Dancing Brave win and you were always very excited that one day you might get to wear those silks–ones that had been associated with such great success.”</p>
<p>Tom Queally, rider of Frankel: “I was very fortunate and lucky to ride dozens of pattern race winners for Prince Khalid throughout my career. He was a gentleman to ride for, his Juddmonte operation has been a huge success and leaves a legacy which will live on for a long time. I was very lucky to ride what was arguably his best horse. It was the work of years and years of breeding to produce a horse with the excellence of Frankel.</p>
<p>“His loyalty to Sir Henry Cecil through all the ups and downs was very admirable. That loyal patronage paid off in the best possible way you could have imagined with Frankel. He had a great understanding of horses and was very easy to deal with and very approachable. It’s a sad day and my thoughts go out to his family and friends and everyone that worked for him. I will look back with great pride that I had some involvement with him.”</p>
<p>Andre Fabre: “It’s a great loss for everyone. Personally he had the sort of charm that made you want to do well for him, though he was a quiet man. I was lucky enough to train a lot of great horses for him. Above all, he was a man that everyone respected and loved. It is bad news.</p>
<p>Chad Brown via Twitter: “Prince Khalid was the definition of class and sportsmanship. It was one of the greatest honors of my life to be asked to train horses for him…the phone call every trainer has dreamed of getting. He raised the bar to unthinkable heights, always putting the horse first. RIP.”</p>
<p>Statement from Breeders’ Cup: “Prince Khalid bin Abdullah was one of the world’s most passionate and influential leaders in Thoroughbred racing and breeding, and one who exemplified great dignity and class. Prince Khalid was an early advocate and staunch supporter of the Breeders’ Cup program and became one of its most ardent and successful owners. Under the banner of Juddmonte Farms, racing fans were thrilled by the magnificent performances of Arrogate and Enable, among the Prince’s seven Breeders’ Cup champions, and by the brilliance of Frankel, and many others on the international scene. We extend our heartfelt condolences to his family and to his dedicated management and staff.”</p>
<p>Statement from Churchill Downs Racetrack President Mike Anderson: “Thoroughbred racing and breeding icons like Prince Khalid bin Abdullah are few and far between. For decades, the Juddmonte Farms racing and breeding operation has represented top-class on an international stage thanks to the vision and dedication of Prince Khalid. His unforgettable pink, green and white silks made numerous trips to the Churchill Downs winner’s circle with regally-bred horses–from 2001 Kentucky Oaks winner Flute to 2018 Breeders’ Cup Turf champion Enable–and they are fondly remembered by the Churchill Downs family as part of his significant legacy.”</p>
<p>Statement from National Thoroughbred Racing Association President Alex Waldrop: “The contributions of Prince Khalid bin Abdullah to the Thoroughbred breeding and racing industry over the past 40 years will be felt for generations to come. From Empire Maker to Frankel to Enable, his operation produced many of this sport’s all-time greats who carried his famous green, pink and white silks to victory in the world’s most prestigious races. Our deepest condolences go out to his family and the entire Juddmonte Farms team.”</p>
<p>Keeneland President and Chief Executive Officer Shannon Arvin: “Prince Khalid bin Abdullah was foremost a man of extraordinary class, and the excellence he achieved in Thoroughbred racing and breeding globally will continue to influence the breed for generations. Though he was a major presence on the international stage, we at Keeneland treasure the long friendship we enjoyed with Prince Khalid. His Juddmonte Farms is a prominent consignor and buyer at Keeneland sales, where he bought Known Fact, one of his earliest classic winners, at the 1978 July Selected Yearling Sale, and purchased his champion and Breeders’ Cup Classic winner Arrogate at the 2014 September Yearling Sale. Juddmonte Farms has also strongly supported Keeneland’s philanthropic mission and its racing program as sponsor of the Grade I Juddmonte Spinster since 2005. Prince Khalid’s distinctive pink, green and white silks have been carried to numerous wins at Keeneland, earning for him a Keeneland Tray as part of the track’s distinguished Milestone Trophy Program. On behalf of Keeneland, we extend our deepest condolences to Prince Khalid’s family and the entire Juddmonte Farms team.”</p>

<p>Nobody, we keep telling ourselves, remembers a time quite like this. And that’s true even of John Williams, who has seen just about everything in our business. But he did once experience something pretty similar—worse, if anything, strictly in terms of the springtime routines of a stallion farm. That was when Caro imported a wildly contagious venereal disease from France to Spendthrift, and the Department of Agriculture wanted to put a chain on the gate.</p>
<p>Williams imagined that he’d already fulfilled his most stressful task, in boarding a plane to Paris with a cheque for $4.2 million in his pocket. After bringing Caro to Kentucky, however, the world’s premier stallion roster could only be kept in business if everyone in the breeding shed wore surgical hoods, gowns, boots and gloves. Every square inch was disinfected and quarantined. As it happens, Williams gave his time to this project long before the current crisis. But however rare the precedent—whether in the quality of horses and horsemen, or in the dramas that colour their lives—you will find some guidance in the tapestry of a life too rich to be adequately unstitched here.</p>
<p>Perhaps the best measure of his wisdom, integrity and charm is the single compliment that might overcome his dread of flattery. For his regard for the dignity of the office is such that Williams would be pleased, mighty pleased, still to be simply acknowledged as a good horse-groom.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>“Bill Haun instilled this in me,” he says, recalling one of the mentors of his Maryland youth. “That the most important person to the horse is not the trainer, not the owner, but the groom who lives with him. On the racetrack, I loved being with some more than others; but I loved being with all of them. I’ll never forget rubbing a horse called Tara Host. They claimed him at Monmouth Park. And I’m coming back with the groom leading my horse to another barn, and trying to get him to understand: he can’t blow the dirt out of his eyes, he doesn’t like it, and all the things I knew about him, as we’re going back with this bridle in my hand and crying because I’d lost him.”</p>
<blockquote>
<p>That the most important person to the horse is not the trainer, not the owner, but the groom who lives with him.</p>
<p>&#8220;John Williams&#8221;</p>
</blockquote>
<p>The snowy-haired septuagenarian before us remains in tandem with that young groom not just in brightness of eye or spryness of demeanour. He also has the constant prompt of a photograph, at home in Versailles, preserving his first ever visit to the winner’s circle at the age of 24.</p>
<p>“Let’s see,” he says. “This is April 5, 1966. The winner’s circle at what is no longer a racetrack. Bowie, Maryland. With Edgar Lucas, the owner of Helmore Farm. I was working for this wonderful horseman Billy Haun. And here I am, with a mare called Compass Rose. Can you see how proud I was, to be standing in that winner’s circle? I mean, you’d think we just won the Oaks. And Mr. Lucas, look how happy he is to win a $5,000 claimer. This is how much we loved it, even at that level.”</p>
<p>The young man in the picture had no immediate background in horses—though Williams is still maddened that the old equine remedies collated by an Irish grandfather he never knew, who came over with a draft of coach horses for a wealthy family in Philadelphia, were incinerated on his death—beyond a father who couldn’t wait to close the barbershop in time to catch the daily double at Pimlico.</p>
<p>Yet Williams had only completed his first semester at the University of Maryland when switching his education to Pistorio Farm, outside his hometown of Ellicott City. Here he was blessed to encounter a veterinarian as communicative as he was sage, Dr. Irwin Frock.</p>
<p>Admittedly his first racetrack employer did not prove quite so exemplary, but the time and place were propitious: that was the year the memorable Horatio Luro, his hat tilted just so, came to town with a colt they reckoned no more than 15.2hh.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<figure id="attachment_1571" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-1571"><img src="https://look.thoroughbreddailynews.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/Horatio-Luro-Keeneland-Library-.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="479" /><br />

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>“He’d need elevator shoes to be 15.2,” declares Williams. “He was just a little piece of a horse. But all of us that have ever been in the Thoroughbred business and weren’t comatose know the influence this horse has had on our breed. I don’t know that there would be a horse in a starting gate anywhere in this world today that can’t trace some of his lineage to that little 15.1 colt I saw try to get his way through a jammed door at the backside of Pimlico racetrack in the spring of 1964.”</p>
<p>Fortunately, Williams was soon taken on by Haun. A difficult man, evidently, but he had absolute respect for the horse and demanded unstinting attention to detail from his staff. And, in turn, it was through Haun’s patron that Williams got his big break. Lucas had just bought an annex to his farm and, “preposterous” as it still seems to him, the young college dropout was asked to manage it. As Williams recalls, “instead of being petrified I just jumped at the chance.” He learned as he went along: knew when to call on the advice of old horsemen like Tommy Harraway or Bill Ballinger; and knew, most of the time, when to roll with the fearless energy of his youth.</p>
<p>Best of all was that Helmore raised horses not to sell, but to carry the black silks with white stars. There was, however, a fateful exception—a yearling colt Lucas decided to sell at Keeneland. Williams prepped him as though for the racetrack, hand-walking him up hill and down dale, and the outcome of his diligence caught the eye of the trailblazing consignor Lee Eaton. He urged Williams to come to Kentucky; and so, too, did Tyson Gilpin after seeing how Williams handled a couple of stallions sent by a client to Helmore. Williams was reluctant to leave his home state, but an interview with Olin Gentry proved too tempting; and while that job eventually went to the Spendthrift manager, Williams duly filled the resulting vacancy there instead.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<figure id="attachment_1573" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-1573"><img src="https://look.thoroughbreddailynews.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/John-Williams-and-D-Wayne-Lukas-Eaton.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="273" /><br />

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Oh, those Spendthrift years! How on earth to siphon such intoxicating names into the cold vessel of a few sentences? It was 1976, the cusp of the boom that would transform the stallion market; and Leslie Combs was all set to ride the wave. Because nobody got the better of Combs in a deal. (That’s why Williams has a dollar bill framed on his wall. He bet his boss that a particular yearling would bring a million, and Combs staked a dollar that he wouldn’t. Presumably he was happy enough to lose the wager but Williams, as “the only human being that ever beat you out of a buck,” made him sign the banknote.)</p>
<p>“He was the father of modern-day syndication,” Williams says. “He had tremendous clientele; and there was a good balance there, too, because many of them were racing people. But he was truly a commercial horse breeder. There was a cartoon with Leslie Combs standing in front of a conveyor belt with all these little horses going down it. That was his game, and he was a master at it. I’m sure a lot of the places steeped in tradition, like Greentree, looked at Spendthrift as a blue-collar farm. But he brought so many people into the business. He brought them to the party and made it fun.”</p>
<blockquote>
<p>That was his game, and he was a master at it…he brought so many people into the business. He brought them to the party and made it fun. –John Williams on Leslie Combs</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Even the bricks and mortar of the U-shaped stallion barn showed that Combs, and in turn his son Brownell, meant business of a different kind. They called it the Nashua Motel, for the signature acquisition Combs had made to head a roster that kept expanding in both quality and quantity. There was Raise A Native, of whom it was said that he could run over a puddle and leave it dry; there was Exclusive Native; and Prince John; and Never Bend; and Pretense; and Sham. “Poor Sham,” says Williams, “who all he did was look at that big, red rear end of Secretariat through that gruelling Triple Crown season.” And so it went on: names that bestride the modern Stud Book; but flesh and blood, feed and foible, to Williams.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<figure id="attachment_1577" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-1577"><img src="https://look.thoroughbreddailynews.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/Raise-a-Native-Keeneland-Library-.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="436" /><br />
<figcaption id="caption-attachment-1577">Raise a Native | <em>Credit: Keeneland Library</em></figcaption>
</figure>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>And then there was Nashua, his paragon: Maryland-bred, of course; the benchmark against which Williams has measured every champion since, and invariably found them wanting. Though the horse was already 26 when Williams met him, even then he was immaculate: balance, bone, perfectly round feet. And so hardy. Eddie Arcaro once told Williams how Nashua threw in one of his periodic stinking workouts before the Wood Memorial. He was jogging back, wondering what to say to Sunny Jim Fitzsimmons. Before Arcaro could open his mouth, the trainer gestured simply to go and work again. This time Nashua put in a bullet—and of course won the Wood three days later. “That’s how durable he was,” says Williams. “If a trainer did that now, they’d probably lock him up.”</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<figure id="attachment_1576" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-1576"><img src="https://look.thoroughbreddailynews.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/Nashua-and-Sunny-Fitzsummons-Keeneland-Library-.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="480" /><br />

</figure>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>He is convinced he won’t see the like of Nashua again. “Well, as I said, I’m just a groom,” he says. “I’m not a scientist so I can’t give you proof. I can only give you a perception that I have. But if you were on the racetrack in the early ‘60s and saw the bone that we had, the feet that we had, very rarely would I hear about quarter-cracks or bruised feet or anything like that. Now we’re seeing delicate bone, small or shelly feet, low-slung heels, long toe. What’s causing that? My guess is that we had such a wide variety of pedigree available to us. I mean, we had Man o’ War, which has disappeared. We had the Nasrullah line, we had Pharamond. We had so much we could draw from back then.”</p>
<p>In an era meanwhile saturated by Northern Dancer and Mr Prospector bloodlines, thanks partly to huge books, Williams now sees putative champions who can’t put together 14 starts—never mind the 14 Grade I wins of the 11th Triple Crown winner.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<figure id="attachment_1575" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-1575"><img src="https://look.thoroughbreddailynews.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/Nashua-Keeneland-Library-.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="428" /><br />

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Affirmed was raced by Patrice and the late Lou Wolfson, who became such loyal friends that when Williams eventually left Spendthrift (uncomfortable with the Wall Street flotation of a roster then exceeding 40 stallions) they insisted that their mares would go with him. Affirmed, of course, was by Raise A Native’s son Exclusive Native—each, in turn, having raced for Harbor View Farm. Exclusive Native started out at $1,500, while Wolfson sold Affirmed’s dam for $5,500. As Williams says, there’s “lightning in a bottle” for you.</p>
<p>The uncertainties of the business were distilled by the other Triple Crown winner syndicated, back-to-back, by Spendthrift—responsible, jokes Williams, for whitening his hair in a single spring. He recalls ringing Mickey Taylor after Seattle Slew’s first week in his new job.</p>
<p>“‘Mickey, we have a problem.’ ‘What is it?’ ‘He doesn’t like girls.’ That’s a $12 million stud horse. They don’t want to hear that. After a pause, he said, ‘Well, I know he’s in good hands.’”</p>
<p>So began the long, arduous process of awakening the champ’s dormant libido.</p>
<p>“We finally got him to where he would show some amorous attention to a 28-year-old Count Fleet mare I had brought down from Maryland,” Williams recalls. “She wouldn’t have had very many guys on her dance card. This was not a very pretty mare but Slew kind of thought, maybe. When we’d book a mare, we’d bring old Fleet Flight down there to the breeding shed, too, and he would feel real happy when he saw her. At the right moment, we could move him over to his assigned mare and he would cover that mare. When he came down, he was so mad. But that’s how we had to keep him going.”</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<figure id="attachment_1578" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-1578"><img src="https://look.thoroughbreddailynews.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/Seattle-Slew-Horsephotos-.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="416" /><br />

</figure>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>There were other tricks Williams remembered from the old days in Maryland. Sometimes he would effectively treat this dual Horse of the Year as his own teaser: the staff would have to drop everything when the holler came that Slew was ready, and get that mare bred wherever the inspiration had visited him: out on a hill, out in the rain or snow.</p>
<p>Because if he couldn’t rely on Slew, he could rely on his crew. True to form, in fact, that’s what Williams prizes above all the other things he has achieved in the business. In his first month as Spendthrift manager, it had been necessary to cull staff by the dozen. It was a tough time; they shot the mailbox off the post in front of his house. But he needed people animated not just by a wage, but by the privilege of working with these beautiful animals.</p>
<p>Fortunately there was a cherished core, the likes of Clem Brooks and Buster Gordon, but Williams needed fresh blood. He spread a net through Maryland, Virginia, Europe; above all, through Michael Osborne’s Irish National Stud program. And he hired women, too. The fact that they hadn’t previously been permitted to work with the horses struck him as a shocking waste of natural empathy. And how proud he is, now, to see some of the pimply kids who started out with rubbing rags at Spendthrift today excelling as breeders in their own right.</p>
<p>“Yeah, I’ve a kind of parental pride in those people,” he says. “Maybe I helped them a little bit, but they helped themselves. All they needed was the opportunity. Now I just hope that they’re mentoring like-minded young people. I don’t see quite as many that really want to be with the horse the way we did then. I see them wanting executive positions, air-conditioned offices, doing deals. I mean, none of us go into the barn and say, ‘Ah great, I got 25 stalls to muck out. And four of them with nurse mares in.’ No, none of us felt that way. But we wanted to be with the horse.”</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Yeah, I’ve a kind of parental pride in those people. Maybe I helped them a little bit, but they helped themselves. All they needed was the opportunity. –John Williams </p>
</blockquote>
<p>Sure enough, he is certain that the “Flying Start” program—Williams was humbled to be named Osborne’s successor as trustee—will prove Sheikh Mohammed’s greatest legacy to the industry. But that cuts both ways. Osborne’s son Joe, now Godolphin’s managing director, worked a season with Williams at Spendthrift; and later, when Williams teamed up with Lee Eaton to form Eaton-Williams, “Flying Start” course director Clodagh Kavanagh was among those who worked a sale or two for that pioneering agency.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>In the meantime Williams had also established a small farm of his own, Ballindaggin, named for the Wexford birthplace of his Quigley grandfather. Here he raised the wonderful Flawlessly, albeit she had by no means matched her name as a weanling. Indeed, Williams told the Wolfsons that her dam, La Confidence, should maybe go to the November Sale.</p>
<p>“And this filly that I didn’t think much of, she won nine Grade Is,” he recalls happily. “I had a lot of conversations with Lou Wolfson. Never in any of those conversations did he close without reminding me that I wanted to sell her mother. Flawlessly was head and shoulders the best that I ever raised. An extraordinary filly. She was not sound. As a matter of fact, Chris McCarron wanted to scratch her because of how rough she was, warming up, but he was deathly afraid of the wrath of Charlie Whittingham. That was Flawlessly. She had so much heart, so much try. She was very much like her sire, Affirmed, who wouldn’t let Alydar by. See how lucky I’ve been, to be around people like Lou and Patrice Wolfson?”</p>
<p>Well, Mr. Williams, we all need luck; but they do say you also make your own. No doubt you miss the farm, in nowadays instead acting as consultant to a few fortunate clients; while remaining a “breeder” in owning a single mare, with longtime friend and partner Paul Manganaro; and otherwise turn those skilled hands to restoring antique boats, or building bookshelves. But your work carries on, wherever things are done properly in the Bluegrass and beyond. Your work; Billy Haun’s work; and really, as such, the work of Haun’s own teacher, Ben Jones, in Kansas in the 1930s. All true horsemanship is owed to example and now, thanks to you, a new generation can be told: “You can’t do enough for the horse. He feeds you.”</p>

<p>So as Williams reflects on the winner of that $5,000 claimer, over half a century ago, he can acknowledge the one, abiding credit he is glad to accept. “This reminds me not of who I was, but who I am,” he says, looking at the picture. “I am just a groom that had a good shot.”</p>

<p>Da diverse settimane nel nostro Paese il personale sanitario, medici, infermieri e tutti gli operatori, lavora senza sosta per fronteggiare questa drammatica emergenza sanitaria, che ha duramente colpito l’umanità intera e di cui ancora non è possibile definire la durata.</p>
<p>Si affronta un nemico invisibile e sconosciuto, che sottopone a carichi di lavoro e turni più faticosi, ed a condizioni emotive stressanti. </p>
<p>Tutto il personale sanitario deve fare i conti con le peculiari caratteristiche di questa nuova situazione: l&#8217;infettività del virus, i rischi di contagio per sé e per gli altri, l’aumento dei casi positivi e dei decessi hanno contribuito progressivamente a determinare una sensazione, diffusa e generalizzata, di allarme e di paura.</p>
<p>In ospedale, la percezione del rischio di esposizione ed il livello medio di ansia associato è comune a tutto il personale: prevalente la preoccupazione, riferita alla letalità del virus ed alla possibilità di esser causa di contagio per i propri famigliari e per la popolazione in generale.</p>
<p><em>Nell’esperienza di questa emergenza, nei paesi che per primi l’hanno affrontata, tra gli operatori sanitari è stata riscontrata la presenza di una significativa percentuale di sintomatologia psichica e di disturbi emotivi, caratterizzati da ansia, inquietudine, reattività, deflessione del tono dell’umore, facilità al pianto, disturbi del sonno, condizioni che possono incidere negativamente sul piano funzionale e sviluppare nel tempo quadri clinici significativi.</em></p>
<p>Tristezza e senso di impotenza di fronte alla sofferenza di tutti ed alla morte dei pazienti critici, e soprattutto un rapporto con i pazienti assolutamente diverso dal passato. La relazione è mediata dalla distanza, con tute, scafandri, diversi dispositivi di protezione: medici e infermieri incrociano dietro le mascherine gli sguardi spaventati e la profonda solitudine dei pazienti, che non possono essere confortati direttamente dai propri familiari se non, quando possibile, sempre a distanza con l’utilizzo di tablet o telefonini.</p>
<p>Per questo a Niguarda sono stati avviati una serie di interventi, condotti dagli specialisti della Psicologia Clinica, per cercare di ridurre e contenere il livello di stress emotivo del personale impegnato.<br />  <br />Oltre alle attività in tutti i reparti, rivolte ai pazienti Covid  e, da remoto ai loro familiari, gli psicologi  dell’Ospedale stanno conducendo dei gruppi con il personale sanitario per affrontare le situazioni ad alto impatto e coinvolgimento emotivo, dove condividere esperienze e risorse e lavorare sulla consapevolezza delle proprie capacità (autoefficacia) e sul senso di appartenenza. Garantiscono un monitoraggio telefonico per gli operatori ed i loro familiari in quarantena e, insieme agli psichiatri, un ambulatorio dedicato ai dipendenti che soffrono di una condizione emotiva che necessita di una valutazione ed un trattamento individuale diretti.   </p>
<p><em><strong>Ma non solo.</strong></em></p>
<p><em>L’ospedale Niguarda ha al suo interno un grande maneggio, <strong>il Centro Vittorio Di Capua,</strong> tra i primi in Italia ad occuparsi di terapia assistita con i cavalli, nei percorsi di cura dei bambini con disturbi della sfera psicomotoria, cognitiva ed emotiva.</em></p>
<p>In questo periodo di emergenza il Centro, come molti altri servizi, ha dovuto sospendere le attività dirette, avviando monitoraggi da remoto per i piccoli pazienti, e con i suoi operatori ha deciso di “fare la propria parte” nella lotta contro il Covid-19 mettendosi al servizio dei colleghi che operano nei reparti.</p>
<p>Tutte le attività organizzate sono guidate da uno psicologo, esperto in interventi assistiti con gli animali, con l’aiuto di coadiutori che si occupano della gestione del cavallo.<br />Nelle prime due settimane dall’inizio del progetto, già trenta persone, tra medici e infermieri, prima o dopo il turno in corsia hanno varcato la soglia di questa “fattoria” all’interno dell’Ospedale, dove tra prati, aiuole fiorite, orti e piante da frutta, insieme al personale del Centro li aspettavano <em>Adelina, Giove, Birbante, Jamaica, Fly Lady, Winter e Nilo</em>…sette bellissimi cavalli.</p>
<p>Questa ulteriore iniziativa offre agli operatori un tempo e uno spazio per sé, in cui potersi rilassare e “ricaricare”. Stare all’aria aperta, a contatto con gli animali e seguire delle esperienze guidate positive. </p>
<p><em>“Molti soffrono di una mancata relazione stretta con i pazienti che stanno curando, o causa della gravità della malattia, o perché “ingabbiati” in tute da astronauti che non gli permettono quel contatto a cui erano abituati</em>”- spiega la psicologa del Centro. E allora, relazionarsi con un animale, prendendosi cura del cavallo sotto diversi aspetti (accompagnarlo a pascolare, pulirlo, dargli da mangiare…) può aiutare a ristabilire un proprio equilibrio ed a percepire una positiva condizione di benessere.</p>
<p>E’ possibile partecipare ad un’esperienza individuale o in piccoli gruppi.</p>
<p>Il primo incontro è finalizzato a far conoscere all’operatore gli spazi del centro, i cavalli, cogliendo l’occasione per un approfondimento sul progetto, che prosegue concordando poi via via i successivi incontri settimanali e le attività con gli animali. Si parte dalla scelta del cavallo che “<em>generalmente si orienta su chi si percepisce come simile a noi, sia per affinità sia per diversità, favorendo l’instaurarsi di un legame con l’animale”</em> precisa la psicologa. </p>
<p>Per poi dedicarsi, tranquillamente, al nuovo amico in uno spazio all’aria aperta, nella natura, godendosi questo momento speciale e prendendosene cura, beneficiando così di uno scambio gratificante e positivo.</p>
<p><strong>Tutto questo per supportare coloro che oggi l’Italia chiama “eroi”, ma che in realtà, sono uomini e donne faticosamente impegnati a compiere il proprio dovere</strong><em><strong>.</strong></em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: left;" align="center">In un momento così difficile per l’ippica italiana, o meglio per le corse di cavalli che si svolgono in Italia (l’ippica è un’altra cosa e la praticano in pochi oggi nel nostro paese), voglio raccontare una storia romantica, emozionante e patriottica che un routinier, ma soggetto di classe e grande cuore di nome Prince Tady, ha fatto vivere agli emigrati italiani negli States alla fine degli anni &#8217;60.</p>
<p>Ancora oggi di tanto in tanto incontro Gaetano Benetti che, con la sua bicicletta (una volta un ferro vecchio, oggi una cabriolet ultra-tecnologica) si aggira attorno all’ Ippodromo di San Siro, forse per cercare di intravvedere se qualcosa migliora in questa ippica moderna così ormai disillusa e poco romantica o forse, molto più semplicemente, per andare a trovare suo figlio Andrea all’ Unione Proprietari. E così come ormai faccio da molti anni, lo fermo e gli chiedo di ricordare le emozioni che la grande ippica italiana degli anni&#8217; 60, &#8217;70 ed &#8217;80, ci ha saputo regalare e di cui lui ne è stato un grande artefice come allenatore. Tra le tante storie emozionanti, questa volta si è soffermato su un soggetto forse non famosissimo, ma che è stato capace di strappargli una lacrima di gioia: Prince Tady. Non lo si ricorda di certo come Sirlad, Marmolada, Croda Alta, o altri ancora, ma lo si ricorda per una vittoria memorabile in terra americana. E qui comincia il racconto che  il Signor Gaetano Benetti, davanti al cancello della Tribuna Principale dell’Ippodromo del Galoppo di San Siro, mi ha narrato riguardo a Prince Tady.</p>

<p><em>“Dopo la carriera terminata da imbattuto con la facile vittoria del Gran Criterium, Prince Tady veniva trasferito a Napoli dove, come di consueto gran parte dei nostri cavalli andavano a svernare o a correre. A tre anni rientra a Milano dove tra l’altro fu secondo nel Gran Premio d’Italia sui 2.400 metri battuto da Serov che fece in quella occasione il record sulla distanza.  Riportò tra l’altro i premi:  Pr Amedeo, il  Piazzale ed il Federico Tesio.</em></p>
<p><em>&#8220;Nella primavera del 1967  dopo un rientro vittorioso nel Premio Sirmione, arrivò un invito da Providence , capitale del Rhode Island, per una corsa  creata per scuderie Italiane.  Tale corsa era stata voluta dal proprietario della pista di Lincoln Down che, essendo emigrato da Pesaro negli States,  voleva assolutamente questa corsa nello stato americano con il maggior numero di immigrati italiani.</em></p>
<p><em>Il proprietario della pista era il Signor Dario Bacchiochi  il cui cognome negli States era diventato Dario ed era tra l’altro il maggior rappresentante Ford per il New England ed aveva per pilota nelle sue corse in stock cars anche un “certo”  Mario Andretti ( divenuto poi un famoso Pilota di F1 per la Ferrari ).</em></p>
<p><em>Dario era un grande appassionato di corse e l’ippica in Italia in quel periodo ci rendeva famosi in tutto il mondo. Volendo radunare gli italo-americani più importanti della zona penso&#8217; di organizzare una corsa solo per cavalli e colori/giubbe italiani.</em></p>
<p><em>I cavalli che avrebbero dovuto partecipare alla corsa erano dodici, ma alla fine solo 8 teams decisero di prendere parte alla competizione. Con un volo organizzato da Arturo Brambilla e Mario Sivieri  partimmo dalla Malpensa per sbarcare a New York. Accompagnati anche dal veterinario Dottor Marcon. I cavalli vennero poi trasferiti in van per Clifton N.J., dove tuttora esiste un’ immensa stazione di quarantena per tutti gli animali provenienti dall’estero, riferimento per la fascia Est degli States.</em></p>
<p><em>Dopo gli esami necessari, in van raggiungemmo la città di Providence per poi recarci presso il locale Ippodromo di Suffolk Down. Facevano parte della spedizione anche alcuni fantini italiani giunti assieme ai loro allenatori: tra milanesi e romani, tra fantini ed allenatori ricordo che  vi erano F.Jovine, S.Fancera, Gf. Dettori, G.Pisa, il grande S. Cumani e L. D’Auria.</em></p>
<p><em>Io non avevo il fantino, essendo Di Nardo impiegato a Milano per l’Emanuele Filiberto. Per il  galoppo di preparazione  avevo il mio lad fidato Sig. Saracco,  che mi accompagnò in tanti Gran Premi e tra i tanti anche nella successiva trasferta negli States per disputare il Famoso Washington D.C. con Tingitana nel 1970.</em></p>
<p><em> Ma torniamo a Prince Tady. Era la prima volta che il cavallo correva a mano sinistra in sabbia su una classica pista americana con le sue brevi curve ed i corti rettilinei, ero molto preoccupato perchè cambiavano tante cose rispetto alle piste italiane. Mio padre e i signori della Scuderia Fert decisero allora di darmi piena fiducia su tutto, visto che io ero sul luogo ed avevo preso visione delle differenze e mi indussero ad agire come se il cavallo fosse mio (mi sembra di vedere proprio come è adesso…)</em></p>
<p><em>Decisi allora di affidarmi a un giovane italo/americano, tal  Carl Gambardella originario della costiera amalfitana. Era un fantino emergente su quelle piste e lo ricordo ancora con tanto affetto. Tra l’altro ho ricevuto da lui alcuni anni dopo la sua foto, in occasione della sua vittoria numero 6.000, che lo pone tuttora ai primi posti della Hall of Fame tra i jockeys. Carl fu subito entusiasta del cavallo e mi disse di non aver mai montato un soggetto simile per generosità, essendo la qualità dei soggetti su quelle piste abbastanza scadente. Passammo mattine indimenticabili durante i galoppi di preparazione e studiammo anche l’ eventuale tattica di corsa . L&#8217; idea iniziale, che teneva conto delle peculiarità conosciute del cavallo,  fu cambiata di comune accordo al momento della corsa a causa delle impossibili condizioni del tempo e della pista in sabbia completamente allagata. Decidemmo allora di tentare, se di possibile attuazione,  una corsa di testa anziché di attesa per poi piazzare l&#8217;allungo</em></p>
<p><em>E’ come se avessi ancora oggi, davanti agli occhi,  la corsa in notturna in mezzo ai lampi ed allo scrosciare della pioggia, un fortunale pazzesco, un ricordo indimenticabile! Nel filmato della corsa si vede chiaramente un lampo sull’ultima curva, che sembrava voler preannunciare l’ultimo sforzo di Prince Tady per staccare gli avversari in dirittura. Tutte le mie tensioni svanirono all’improvviso. La premiazione,  l’inno italiano,  la consegna della coppa sono ancora un ricordo vivissimo in me,  ma sopra ogni cosa è ancora viva l’immagine dell’abbraccio di tanti italiani con le lacrime agli occhi, che rivivevano il loro paese in quei momenti.</em></p>
<p><em>Allora non usava il telefonino e chiamare l’Italia non rientrava nei miei pensieri, ma ricordo che l’Avv. Mezzanotte mi fece lui la richiesta di chiamare mio padre per annunciare la vittoria. Ero talmente emozionato, felice e frastornato che quasi non riuscii a pronunciare una benché minima parola.</em></p>
<p><em>Il Premio era per un totale di 50.000  dollari, che allora erano una bella cifra e ricordo che Mr. Dario me li voleva dare in contanti, mentre eravamo seduti a tavola  dopo la corsa. Io non li presi perché volevo fare le cose in regola col fisco e viaggiare con certe cifre mi rendeva nervoso. Pochi giorni dopo l’ammontare era a disposizione in Italia.</em></p>
<p><em>Dormii poco quella notte ed ogni tanto davo un’occhiata all’ immensa coppa (made in Italy) che avrei consegnato alla Fert al mio rientro a casa. La mattina scesi per andare ad un&#8217; edicola. Allora i giornali della festa negli States erano dei veri e propri fascicoli ed io rientrai in albergo con tutte le foto della corsa, sui giornali locali in prima pagina. In quei giorni mi ricordo che si disputava al Madison Square Garden il famoso incontro Benvenuti vs Griffith e Mr. Dario , biglietti in mano, mi avrebbe voluto con lui a vederlo, ma era tanta la voglia di rientrare in famiglia che rinunciai e mi imbarcai per arrivare a Milano.</em></p>
<p><em>Pochi giorni dopo il rientro ricevetti l’invito per  correre a Saratoga lo United Nation Handicap e oggi conservo ancora il telegramma con i pesi della corsa. Allora si lavorava coi pochi mezzi che erano a diposizione ed il cavallo meritava sicuramente un periodo di riposo e così il progetto Saratoga venne accantonato, chiaramente non senza un senso di rammarico.&#8221;</em></p>

<p><em>&#8220;Rammento che a fine hanno le classifiche dei migliori anziani che avevano corso negli States vedevano il nostro Prince Tady tra i primi sei, avendo avanti tra gli altri Buckpasser e Assagay, dei veri campioni divenuti poi stalloni famosi. Evidentemente la corsa a Lincoln Down, con il facile record della pista e le condizioni improbe della stessa e il disagio della trasferta, aveva impressionato molto gli americani.</em></p>
<p><em>Dopo la corsa americana, il coraggioso e generoso Prince Tady,  fece tre corse vincendo il Turati e il Città di Torino, mentre corse senza fortuna nel Jacques Le Marois a Deauville.</em></p>
<p><em>Devo sinceramente riconoscere che considero tale corsa, nonostante i miei 19 Gruppi vinti e la vittoria di Brook al Royal Ascot la mia più bella, sofferta e sentita vittoria”.</em></p>
<p><strong>Questa è Ippica, con la “I” maiuscola, con sentimenti forti, con storie che ti avvolgono, questa è l&#8217;Ippica che non si può dimenticare, l&#8217;Ippica con risvolti sociali importanti e con emozioni indimenticabili.</strong></p>

<p><strong>Tanerko</strong> &#8211; m. b. o. nato in Francia nel 1953 &#8211; Allevatore: Francois Duprè &#8211; Appartenente alla famiglia N12</p>
<p><em>Vittorie principali</em> : Prix Lupin, il Ganay per 2 volte, ed il Grand Prix di Saint Claude per 2 volte</p>
<p>Tanerko non ebbe una carriera prestigiosa come quella di suo padre Tantième, ma arrivò terzo dell&#8217;Arc de Triomphe vinto da Ribot. Era però un cavallo di grande classe, forse troppo nevrile. In razza si mise in luce con un campione come Relko.</p>

<p><strong>Ballymoss</strong> &#8211; m. s. nato in Irlanda nel 1954 &#8211; Allevamento Richard Ball &#8211; Appartenente alla Famiglia N2</p>
<p><em>Vittorie principali:</em> Derby Irlandese, Saint Leger di Doncaster, Coronation Cup, Eclipse Stakes, King George Stakes, Arc de Triomphe</p>
<p>Ballymoss passò alle aste di Doncaster del 1955, dove fu acquistato per 4500 ghinee dall&#8217;americano J. Mc Shain. E&#8217; stato uno di quei cavalli che maturano col progredire dell&#8217;età, tanto che poco ha reso a 2 anni, molto a 3, moltissimo a 4 anni. Suo padre Mossborough era stato un corridore senza grandi meriti, ma era figlio di Nearco, mentre la madre era stretta consanguinea di Hyperion, quindi aveva una attrattiva particolare per gli allevatori, anche per il motivo di essere marca Lord Derby. Fu un notevole riproduttore.</p>

<p>Herbager fu un fortunato ed avveduto acquisto fatto alle aste di Deauville da Madame Cino del Duca. Quantunque abbia corso poco, ha messo in mostra notevoli mezzi ed uno spiccato senso agonistico. Appartenente ad una generazione che comprendeva galoppatori come Saint Crispin, Midnight Sun, Dan Cupid, Sheshoon (nonno paterno di Marmolada) e Shantung, conquistò il primo posto fra i coetanei. </p>

<p><strong>Charlottesville</strong>: m. b. nato in Irlanda nel 1957 &#8211; Allevatore: Aly Khan &#8211; Appartenente alla famiglia N14</p>
<p><em>Vittorie principali</em>: Prix Lupin, Jockey Club, Gran Prix de Paris.</p>
<p>Era uno dei cavalli del defunto Aly Khan, che per la morte del proprietario corse sotto altri colori in segno di lutto. Sul valore assoluto di questo armonico soggetto, figlio del francese anglicizzato Prince Chevalier, non ci può essere discussione, quindi rimane inspiegabile il suo comportamento nella corsa di chiusura della sua carriera, il Prix de l&#8217;Arc de Triomphe, nel quale partì fortissimo a 4/10 e finì non piazzato. Sicuramente gli successe qualcosa.</p>

<p><strong>Molvedo</strong> : m. b. o. nato in Italia nel 1958 &#8211; Allevatore: Razza Ticino &#8211; Appartenente alla famiglia N16</p>
<p><em>Vittorie principali:</em> Gran Criterium, Jockey Club italiano, Grand Prix de Deauville, Arc de Triomphe.</p>
<p>Molvedo fu un prodotto della prima annata di Ribot. Questo soggetto nato a Gornate (VA), culla di tanti campioni del nobile De Montel prima, e della Razza Ticino dopo, aveva un modo di galoppare tutto suo, molto differente dagli altri campioni: con la testa inclinata verso il basso e con una spinta poderosa del posteriore, era uno spettacolo da ammirare. La fama che aveva acquisito fece sì che ai titolari della Razza Ticino piovessero offerte di grosse somme per il suo acquisto, ma essi rifiutarono e quindi Molvedo fece la  sua carriera di riproduttore proprio a Gornate. Suoi prodotti furono: Maestrale, Red Arrow, Gallio, Salado, La Milanaise, Barado, Scherzo, Tell Me Why. </p>

<p><strong>Val de Loir</strong>: m. b. nato in Francia nel 1959 &#8211; Allevatore: Sig.ra R. Forget &#8211; Appartenente alla famiglia N5</p>
<p><em>Vittorie principali</em>: Prix Noailles, Prix Hocquart, Jockey Club, Grand Prix de Deauville</p>
<p>Val de Loir fu un altro di quei cavalli, molto frequenti in Francia, che se avesse terminato la carriera col Prix de Jockey Club o almeno avesse evitato certe corse pericolose per la distanza, avrebbe potuto essere considerato uno dei grandissimi. Ricordiamo che con quattro soggetti come Le Haar, Mourne (esportato in Gran Bretagna), Val de Loir ed Exbury, la linea stalloniera francese risalente a Brantòme (figlio di Blandford) riprese quota.</p>

<p>Qualche lettore attento ricorderà &#8220;il giallo&#8221; fatto intorno a Relko in occasione del Derby Irlandese dove venne ritirato quando già era in pista per un attacco febbrile. Al tempo si parlò di doping, ma dopo indagine dei commissari del Jockey Club il suo trainer Mathet fu completamente assolto e la faccenda terminò nel nulla. Il fatto importante della sua carriera è che fece 3 uscite a 4 anni per altrettanti successi memorabili (gli ultimi quattro menzionati sopra).</p>

<p><a href="http://www.galoppoecharme.it/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Apelle-genealogia-e-vittorie-principali.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-36854" title="apelle-genealogia-e-vittorie-principali" src="http://www.galoppoecharme.it/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Apelle-genealogia-e-vittorie-principali-500x245.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="245" /></a></p>
<p>Dopo Scopas e Manistee (entrambi non &#8220;dormelliani&#8221;), <em>Apelle (1923) </em>è il terzo in ordine cronologico fra i campioni italiani del subito dopo guerra, vincitore del Derby Italiano del 1926.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><a href="http://www.galoppoecharme.it/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Donatello.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-36855" title="donatello" src="http://www.galoppoecharme.it/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Donatello-500x370.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="370" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.galoppoecharme.it/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Donatello-genealogia-e-vittorie-principali.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-36856" title="donatello-genealogia-e-vittorie-principali" src="http://www.galoppoecharme.it/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Donatello-genealogia-e-vittorie-principali-500x242.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="242" /></a></p>
<p><em>Donatello (1934)</em> è stato un grande cavallo di mole piuttosto massiccia che restò imbattuto nelle corse fatte in Italia, e fu sconfitto una sola volta nel Gran Prix de Paris, dove arrivò secondo dietro al fuoriclasse francese Clairvoyant, nel 1937.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><a href="http://www.galoppoecharme.it/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Nearco.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-36857" title="nearco" src="http://www.galoppoecharme.it/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Nearco-500x370.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="370" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.galoppoecharme.it/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Nearco-genealogia-e-vittorie-principali.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-36858" title="nearco-genealogia-e-vittorie-principali" src="http://www.galoppoecharme.it/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Nearco-genealogia-e-vittorie-principali-500x234.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="234" /></a></p>
<p><em>Nearco (1935)</em> è stato uno dei grandi cavalli italiani, forse il più grande, secondo solo a Ribot.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><a href="http://www.galoppoecharme.it/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Bellini.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-36859" title="bellini" src="http://www.galoppoecharme.it/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Bellini-500x371.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="371" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.galoppoecharme.it/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Bellini-genealogia-e-vittorie-principali.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-36860" title="bellini-genealogia-e-vittorie-principali" src="http://www.galoppoecharme.it/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Bellini-genealogia-e-vittorie-principali-500x239.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="239" /></a></p>
<p>Esaminando serenamente la carriera di corse di <em>Bellini (1937)</em>, non si troverebbero i motivi per inserirlo in questo elenco di campioni, tanto più che anche se poteva essere ritenuto il migliore della generazione, non si può dire che avesse una decisa superiorità sui coetanei, ma è il padre di Tenerani che poi generò Ribot.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><a href="http://www.galoppoecharme.it/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Niccolò-dellArca.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-36861" title="niccolo-dellarca" src="http://www.galoppoecharme.it/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Niccolò-dellArca-500x378.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="378" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.galoppoecharme.it/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Niccolò-DellArca-genealogia-e-vittorie-principali.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-36862" title="niccolo-dellarca-genealogia-e-vittorie-principali" src="http://www.galoppoecharme.it/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Niccolò-DellArca-genealogia-e-vittorie-principali-500x244.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="244" /></a></p>
<p>Nel nome di <em>Niccolò Dell&#8217;Arca (1938)</em> si compendia tutta l&#8217;annata 1941, perchè siamo davanti ad un vero campione internazionale, ad un galoppatore come se ne sono visti pochi, ad una &#8220;macchina&#8221; di vera potenza.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><a href="http://www.galoppoecharme.it/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Tenerani.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-36900" title="tenerani" src="http://www.galoppoecharme.it/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Tenerani-500x385.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="385" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.galoppoecharme.it/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Tenerani-genealogia-e-vittorie-principali.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-36901" title="tenerani-genealogia-e-vittorie-principali" src="http://www.galoppoecharme.it/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Tenerani-genealogia-e-vittorie-principali-500x248.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="248" /></a></p>
<p><em>Tenerani (1944) </em>non era un bel cavallo, di tipo comune e insignificante aveva una groppa spiovente che non accresceva i già pochi meriti somatici. Inoltre siccome non si impegnava molto in lavoro, non riscuoteva le simpatie di Federico Tesio, che a lui preferiva i coetanei Duccio e Donato di Niccolò&#8230;. ma lui è il padre di Ribot.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><a href="http://www.galoppoecharme.it/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Botticelli.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-36867" title="botticelli" src="http://www.galoppoecharme.it/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Botticelli-500x369.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="369" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.galoppoecharme.it/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Botticelli-genealogia-e-vittorie-principali.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-36868" title="botticelli-genealogia-e-vittorie-principali" src="http://www.galoppoecharme.it/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Botticelli-genealogia-e-vittorie-principali-500x263.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="263" /></a></p>
<p><em>Botticelli</em> (1951) era un bel baio oscuro di taglia atletica che aveva una speciale avversione per il terreno pesante, come dimostrò chiaramente in due occasioni: nel Premio Chiusura a 2 anni e nel Gran Premio di Milano a 4 anni.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><a href="http://www.galoppoecharme.it/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Ribot.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-36869" title="ribot" src="http://www.galoppoecharme.it/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Ribot-500x386.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="386" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.galoppoecharme.it/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Ribot-genealogia-e-vittorie-principali.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-36870" title="ribot-genealogia-e-vittorie-principali" src="http://www.galoppoecharme.it/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Ribot-genealogia-e-vittorie-principali-500x236.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="236" /></a></p>
<p><em>Ribot (1952)</em> ha vinto tutte le 16 corse disputate in carriera, ha vinto in 3 nazioni, forse il più grande cavallo della storia! Certamente lo è stato sui 2400 metri. Ci sono voluti ben 50 anni per vedere un soggetto che potesse ambire a scalfirlo, ma solo fino a 2000 metri: Frankel.</p>
