OWNERSHIP GROUP HASAN >ABBONDANZA=

OF LUCK

By Christie DeBernardis

The word Aabbondanza@ means Aabundance@ in Italian and

proved to be the perfect name for a California-based ownership

group that has turned into a force to be reckoned with on the

West Coast in the past two years.

Abbondanza Racing founder and manager Bing Bush grew up

on a small farm in Lexington, Kentucky, and spent his youth

breaking yearlings and galloping racehorses. After graduating

law school, he set up shop in Del Mar, California, and began

setting up a few racing partnerships for clients. In 2012, Bush

decided it was time to set up a partnership of his own and

Abbondanza Racing was born.

AIt started with four guys throwing in a bit of money to buy a

filly called Changethechannel (English Channel),@ Bush said. AShe

was an unraced 3-year-old at the time trained by Sean

McCarthy. She turned out to be pretty good. We got a few

others and ultimately ended up in Richie Baltas= barn with a

mare called Melanistic (Ministers Wild Cat).@

Abbondanza started to make more of a name for itself in 2016

when Nathan McCauley joined the team and the group bought

into his homebred Free Rose (Munnings).

GUN RUNNER SETTLING IN AT GULFSTREAM Gun Runner (Candy Ride {Arg}), the likely favorite in the

upcoming $16-million GI Pegasus World Cup Invitational

Saturday, Jan. 27, took his first trip around Gulfstream Park

Friday morning (video).

Taking to the track at approximately 5:50 a.m., more than an

hour before sunrise, Gun Runner Ajust had an easy day, going

straight off a mile,@ assistant trainer Scott Blasi said.

Gun Runner, a winner of four straight Grade I events, including

the Breeders= Cup Classic, shipped into Gulfstream Thursday

evening from New Orleans.

AHe=s in such good condition right now, and he=s so fit, when

you get him off that van, off an airplane, he knows where he=s at

and what he=s getting ready to do,@ Blasi said. AHe=s just such a

champion. He takes everything in stride. Never had a problem

shipping, I think this is his 12th or 13th different racetrack he=s

run at. It=s kind of old news to him.@ Cont. p6 (Click here)

David Meah | Keeneland photo

In his second start for the new partnership, the dark bay won

the 2016 GIII La Jolla H. at odds of 28-1 and was let go at 11-1

when he followed suit with a victory in the GII Del Mar Derby a

month later.

AWe sold half of Changethechannel to Nathan McCauley back

in 2015,@ Bush recalled. AThat is how I met with Nathan. We

partnered on a claiming filly and did pretty well. Then he had a

horse he bred called Free Rose and we partnered on him. He

had incredible success when we brought him out to California.@

He continued, AWe ended up putting together a business

model that is different than what Abbondanza had done in the

past. We decided we wanted to get some well-bred fillies and

mares, race them and try to improve their pedigree.@

After the success the partnership had with Free Rose, the

Abbondanza group began to grow quickly.

AAfter that, Abbondanza doubled in size,@ Bush said. AWe had a

great venture last year and it has even grown again. Everybody

in Abbondanza though are all just friends. They are all friends of

mine, or Nathan=s or a friend of a friend. It is not really a public

offering. It is just a group of guys that are fortunate to hang

around together and have some racing luck. There are 27

partners currently.@

The new business model created by Bush and McCauley is

focused on buying fillies and mares already in training or of

racing age, predominantly at the November sales. The goal is to

improve their race records, and therefore their value, and send

them back through the ring the following November.

AIt is a fairly conservative business model,@ Bush said. AWe

have been really fortunate with [bloodstock agent] David Meah.

He is just absolute magic. And Richie Baltas, I just can=t say

enough good about him. They are both great horsemen and

really bring incredible talent. We have been fortunate to

TDN HEADLINE NEWS • PAGE 4 OF 7 • THETDN.COM SATURDAY • JANUARY 20, 2018

Bush & Goodyearforroses | Benoit

actually be able to improve upon some horses that have been in

some really good hands and to turn a little profit for our

partners.@

In addition to the November purchases, Abbondanza also has

what they call Aflash offerings@ of horses they become interested

in throughout the year, such as Kathy=s Song (Candy Ride {Arg}),

a $190,000 Fasig-Tipton July buy who won the Miss America S.

and finished third in the GI American Oaks since her purchase.

AEverybody has the same percentage in the horses that we

have,@ said Bush, who added that the group currently has 10

horses in their stable. AThrough the course of the year, however,

we do have what we call flash offerings. David or Nathan may

come up with a filly they like and for the existing partners, we

will say, >Do you guys want to get together and buy this filly?=

We will usually buy four or five at the fall sales in November and

then through the course of the year we will have these

additional flash offerings.@

One of Abbondanza=s biggest success stories is a mare named

Goodyearforroses (Ire) (Azamour {Ire}). She won her first start

for Bush=s group in the 2016 Robert Frankel S., which was

downgraded from a Grade III to a listed stakes when it was

rained off the turf. That proved to be the start of a hot streak for

the bay, who went on to win her next two starts in the 2017

Astra S. and GII Santa Ana S. Goodyearforroses gave the group

another thrill when finishing a very close second to recently

retired turf superstar Lady Eli (Divine Park) in last term=s GI

Gamely S.

AWe bought Goodyearforroses back in November 2016 and

another gentleman actually bought her at the sale, but decided

he didn=t want her,@ Bush explained. ADavid was really high on

her from the get go, so we bought her for $200,000. I will never

forget, she got back to California and the exercise rider texted

me and said, >OMG, OMG she doesn=t even touch the ground.= I

galloped horses, so I knew what that meant and I was really

excited about it.@

He continued, AShe won the Bobby Frankel in her first race and

came back and won two more stakes. Then the Medallion

[Racing] folks contacted us and they were interested in buying a

leg of her, so we sold them 25%. We really felt like we were on

an upward trajectory with her.@

In keeping with their business model, Goodyearforroses was

offered at Keeneland November, where she RNA=d for

$375,000, but sold privately after the sale. However,

Abbondanza has been quick out of the gate with their new

group of purchases from the 2017 November sales, winning

their second consecutive Frankel S., this time kept at its Grade III

status, with Midnight Crossing (Ire) (Dark Angel {Ire}), a

$240,000 KEENOV purchase, who blew up the tote with that win

at 22-1.

AWe=ve reloaded now with some new stock that are very

promising,@ Bush said. AWe bought Midnight Crossing and she

came out and won the Bobby Frankel. Now we have a few more

bullets in the gun with Queen Blossom (Ire) (Jeremy), who

unfortunately had a wide trip and didn=t have much racing luck

recently [when fifth in the Astra Jan. 14].@

The Abbondanza crew does not let their race results affect

their attitude. No matter where their horse finishes in a race,

they leave the track with the same enthusiasm they arrived with

and celebrate a day spent at the races with friends.

AI just call it Abbondanza style,@ Bush said. AIf we are in a

stakes race, we are going to go Abbondanza style. We dress up

and it starts its own kind of environment. We can spot each

other in the crowd and we love to sit together and go to the

paddock together. It is not just about the race. We make a

whole day of it. We like to all be together, having a good time

and being good sports, win, lose or draw. But, my God, if we

win, look out! No matter what the results, we go to the table

after, have a toast and a little

recap.@

Meah expressed similar

sentiments about the group,

saying, AThey are the most

enthusiastic group of owners I

have ever had the luck to work

around. Everything they do,

whether it is going to the sales

or a race, whether it is a Group

1 or a claiming race, they do it

in style and have fun. They just

love the sport and have a good

time. Win, lose or draw,

everyone leaves the racetrack

with a smile and is optimistic

we will move forward. They are just a really fun group to be

around. Bing is the most enthusiastic person I have ever met in

my life. Just spending time with him makes you feel great about

life.@

In addition to their stellar sportsmanship, Abbondanza also

donates 1% of all of their earnings to the Thoroughbred

Charities of America.

ANathan is the Vice President of Thoroughbred Charities of

America and I am on the board

now too,@ Bush said. AIt is one of

the only charities that gives back

not just to the horses, but to the

people who work with them as

well. We knew we wanted to

donate to a charity and that is

how we chose TCA.@

Bush=s wife Jewels inspired him

to expand Abbondanza by

creating an all-female ownership

group called Abbondanza Femme.

AI mentioned it to my wife

Jewels and she got really excited

about it,@ Bush recalled. AShe

woke up at 2:00 a.m. and started

thinking of all of her friends who wanted to be part of it. So, I

got up and said, >Let=s get this down.= Then we were up until

4:30 a.m. making a list of everybody we wanted to ask about it.

That is how we ended up launching this thing really. Jewels

TDN HEADLINE NEWS • PAGE 6 OF 7 • THETDN.COM SATURDAY • JANUARY 20, 2018

really was a driving force behind this.@

Abbondanza Femme already has 50 partners and Bush hopes

to double that number. Like Abbondanza, all the current

members are friends of Bush or his wife or a friend of a friend.

The Femme group will operate under the same business model

of buying fillies already in training with the goal of reselling the

following year, but has a lower buy-in rate than its counterpart.

AIt is a much lower entry point, but people can buy more than

one share,@ Bush said. AWe are looking for a filly, so we always

have residual value. Right now we have about 50 partners and

I=d like to have 100. We have a lot of friends and we know they

have friends. We will start small and if we can have a little

measure of success then maybe some folks sitting on the

sidelines will jump in. That is what happened last time and I

won=t be surprised to see it happen again.@

All-female ownership groups have been on the rise in recent

years with syndicates like Lady Sheila Stable, It=s All About the

Girls and Starlight Ladies making names for themselves on the

racetrack as they grow in both size and success.

AI think those [groups] are definitely inspirations for us,@ Bush

said. AI think racing needs [all-female groups]. I really believe in

empowering that aspect of our community. It brings life to

racing to bring more women into the sport. We can benefit from

that.@

With Bush and his team at the helm, Abbondanza Femme

could be the next big thing on the all-female ownership scene as

the name Abbondanza has proven to be both fitting and lucky.

AAbbondanza means abundance in Italian,@ Bush said. AMy

wife was the inspiration for that. She is half Italian. I really loved

the name and what it stands for, which is not an abundance of

money or anything like that, but an abundance of good

experience, joy and the things we want in life.@

Gun Runner Settling In cont. from p1

Blasi continued, AIt=s probably more stressful on us than him.

We expect him to settle in and train, get a little work over the

racetrack, and school in the paddock a time or two.@

Giant Expectations Works for Pegasus...

In his final major breeze for the Pegasus World Cup, GII San

Antonio S. winner Giant Expectations (Frost Giant) went five

furlongs on Santa Anita=s fast main track at 7:45 a.m. Friday

morning in a bullet :58 flat under exercise rider Pepi Aragon. It

was the fastest of 53 drills at the distance. AHe went well,@ said

trainer Peter Eurton. AI couldn=t be happier. We=ll know more as

he goes along. We=re taking it one day at a time.@

Churchill in September, and made up the back half of the exacta

again when beaten a nose in a rained-off Keeneland route Oct.

11. Seventh behind Go Google Yourself (Into Mischief) in a key

heat back in Louisville Oct. 29, the dark bay was looking to

double up having broken through by four lengths over local

yielding sod Dec. 21. Let go at a tick under 6-1 facing a promising

bunch of fillies, the $92,000 KEESEP yearling broke well from her

outside draw and joined Go Google Yourself on the front end

around the first bend. Trading jabs with her paternal sibling

down the backside, she briefly opened daylight around the

home bend before Go Google Yourself re-engaged. That pair

slugged it out to midstretch, but Classy Act had more to give and

scampered clear of her foe by 2 1/2 lengths in the final

sixteenth. Acting Class, herself a daughter of a full-sister

champion Tempera (A.P. Indy), has a 2-year-old colt named

Giant Act (Eskendereya) and most recently visited Mr. Big.

sixteenth to hold on by a neck. ABefore she came in, the guys on

made up some ground going a furlong shorter here on opening

ahead of another couple. Let go at 11-1 in a field full of promise,

the dark bay broke well enough, but dropped back to last while

having to be ridden along by Evin Roman. He started to advance,

but still had tons to do behind a :46.38 half, and swung far out

into the center of the track. Aquila (Union Rags) struck the front

close to home at 40-1, but Pepe Tono kept coming and powered

past that one late to don cap and gown by 1 1/2 lengths. The

Sabbatical Delivers First Foal of Foal Patrol:

Sabbatical (Medaglia d=Oro--Daydreaming), a mare owned by

Phipps Stable residing at historic Claiborne Farm, delivered the

first foal of the National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame's

Foal Patrol project at 5:50 a.m. Friday morning. The foal, a bay

colt by War Front, was an early arrival. Video of the foaling and

several other clips, in addition to the live feed of Sabbatical and

her colt, can be viewed at www.foalpatrol.com.

"We're so excited to see the first foal of Foal Patrol.

Congratulations to Phipps Stable and everyone at Claiborne

Farm," said Cathy Marino, director of the National Museum of

Racing and Hall of Fame. "We are thrilled they agreed to be part

of this new initiative of the Museum. One of the Museum's

priorities is to make the sport of Thoroughbred racing accessible

to as many people as possible and Foal Patrol is a wonderful way

for people to get unprecedented insight into the breeding of a

racehorse, one of the most essential components of the sport.

We're looking forward to seeing this colt grow and develop on

the way to the racetrack."

Horses headed to the gallops at Ballydoyle | Emma Berry

CONTRADICTIONS INLABOUR COURT RULING

Op/Ed By Kevin Blake

Recent months have seen a high-profile case play out in the

Labour Court in Ireland in which the Ballydoyle Racing operation

headed up by Aidan O'Brien appealed against compliance

notices issued to them by the Workplace Relations Commission

(WRC) over their failure to give grooms and work riders rest

periods that the WRC believe that they were legally entitled to.

The origins of the issues that the case concerned can be traced

to amendments made to the Workplace Relations Act in 2015

that, seemingly unbeknownst to anyone in the Irish racing

industry, changed the rules to exclude racing industry

employees from being considered as being engaged in

agricultural work. This meant that stricter regulations would

apply to working hours in that pursuit. When Ballydoyle was

inspected by the WRC in May 2016, it was found that a number

of staff were working hours and days that infringed on the

Working Time Act.

While there has been and will continue to be a debate as to

the rights, the wrongs and the serious implications for the Irish

horse racing industry of this ruling, it has seemingly yet to be

highlighted that the Labour Court's ruling appears to represent a

clear contradiction of the government's interpretation of other

laws in this sector.

Regular readers of this space may recall my recent article

about how the medication rules in Ireland are causing major

problems for equine veterinarians.

The main issue discussed in that piece was that the fact that

horses are legally classed as food animals in Ireland results in

very strict restrictions on what medications they can be given,

with many routine medications that are readily available in

Great Britain and Northern Ireland not being permitted for use

in Ireland.

Yet, while the government are saying on one hand that horses

are food animals and are aggressively enforcing that status via

prosecutions of equine vets that transgress the strict medication

rules, this Labour Court ruling seems to hold a very clear view

that the people that work with those same food animals in

racing yards are not classed as agriculture workers. That seems

to be a blatant contradiction.

Ballydoyle now have the option of appealing the Labour

Court's decision to the High Court. Given the aforementioned

apparent contradiction in the ruling and other arguments

against it, that is an option they are likely to exercise.

While the media have portrayed this case as purely Ballydoyle

versus the Labour Court, there is no doubt whatsoever that it

will have far greater implications for the smaller equine

operators in this country that are run on shoestring budgets

than it will for Ballydoyle. It is these smaller operators that are

the foundation stones of an industry that is one of this country's

greatest rural success stories. With there already being a staffing

crisis in horse racing in Ireland, this ruling has the potential to

put some of these operations out of business, as many simply

cannot afford to employ more staff to comply with a law that

doesn't seem to be fit for purpose. Cont. p2

“While the government are saying on one hand thathorses are food animals and are aggressively

enforcing that status, this Labour Court ruling seemsto hold a very clear view that the people that work with

those same food animals in racing yards are notclassed as agriculture workers.”

No one gets themselves into a career working

with animals thinking that it will be a

nine-to-five endeavour. All animals and

thoroughbred racehorses in particular have

needs that do not conform to what would be

considered a normal working day. Sometimes

the people that care for them will voluntarily

go above and beyond what would be expected

from them in other sectors in the best

interests of the wellbeing of the animals in their care. For this to

be accepted as a lawful reality in all agricultural pursuits bar

horse racing in which the animals involved are more high

maintenance than in any other animal-focused endeavour

seems to fly in the face of common sense.

One can only hope that the High Court fully consider the wider

implications of its judgement before passing it.

POSITIVE FEEDBACK AHEAD OF CAPE SALEBy Daithi Harvey

CAPE TOWN, South Africa--The seventh renewal of the Cape

Thoroughbred Sale, held in the International Convention Centre

in Cape Town, commences today and seeks to build on a record

year of returns in 2017. While keeping pace with last year will be

no mean feat given the absence of one of the most significant

supporters of the sale in recent years in Markus Jooste, some

first-time visitors to the two-day sale could help fill the void left

by the Mayfair Speculators. Last year's sale recorded a near

perfect clearance rate when 222 of the 223 offered lots changed

hands. They did so for record receipts of R155,225,000

($12,647,252/,9,194,396/i10,344,504), with the average also

posting a sale-best of R699,212 ($51,450/,41,550/i47,902), 16%

above the previous year while the median also rose 3% to

R387,500 ($28,500/,,23,050/i26,547).

CTS management has put a lot of effort into promoting the

sale to a worldwide audience and given the spectacular setting

it makes their job of attracting buyers to the sale that bit easier.

The source of 27 Group 1 winners since its inception is also a

worthy statistic. Progress with the on-going issues of quarantine

and the restriction of international travel for South African

Thoroughbreds has been made, and while a breakthrough could

be imminent later this year it is that issue revolving around

African Horse Sickness that is hampering the further

development of not just the sale but also of the South African

racing industry.

Despite these impediments, the team at CTS, lead by CEO

Wehann Smith, are hopeful of building on the progress made in

recent years.

"It's been a really good week so far," said Smith. "There seems

to be a good atmosphere and attendance appears up on

previous years. Feedback from the inspections has been

positive. The sale has gone from strength to strength in the last

few years and hopefully we can build on the great results from

last year. While that will be no easy task I don't believe it is

impossible."

Last year's sale topper, a son of Trippi named Charles (SAf),

sold for a record-equaling R6-million and there are a number of

yearlings catalogued over the next two days with pedigrees to

achieve similar amounts. Klawervlei Stud are the most prolific

vendor with 70 yearlings catalogued and one of their draft that

could command a premium is lot 35, a colt by the stud's own

late champion stallion Captain Al (SAf) and one of 14 yearlings

catalogued that is a sibling to a Group 1 winner. It is a family

that has come to prominence in both Europe and America

courtesy of the yearling's half-sister Antonoe (First Defence).

The Juddmonte filly, who was named a >TDN Rising Star= when

making a winning debut for Pascal Bary at Deauville in 2015,

improved for the switch to American racing when landing the

GI Just A Game S. at Belmont last summer for Chad Brown.

Lot 135 from Klawervlei Stud sports the Holy Grail of breeding

by being a half-sister to a multiple Group 1 winner, out of a

multiple Group 1 winner with the dam being a half-sister to a

Group 1 winner and champion stallion. The yearling is by G1 Prix

de l'Abbaye winner Var out of Shadow Dancing (SAf) (Fort

Wood), who is a half-sister to Captain Al. The mare has bred five

winners headed by the top-class runner Thunder Dance (SAf)

(Jet Master {SAf}), who has also become a successful broodmare

since retiring from racing.

Klawervlei Stud manager John Koster reported in excess of

1,100 viewings of their extensive draft by Thursday afternoon,

and another yearling he is looking forward to offering is lot 133.

The grey colt, from the penultimate crop of Captain Al, is a

full-brother to two top-class performers in All Is Secret (SAf) and

The Secret Is Out (SAf), both Group 1 winners in South Africa,

while the exciting Snowdance (SAf) (Captain Al {SAf}) also

features in the pedigree.

Klawervlei Stud offered four yearlings by Frankel (GB) last year,

the most expensive one purchased by Justin Casse for

R4,000,000 and the stud bring three by the sire to Cape Town

this weekend. Possibly the pick of the trio is lot 94 out of Pale

Moon Rising (Ire) (Kingmambo). The chestnut's dam has bred

two winners from as many runners. A half-sister to last year's

most expensive Frankel filly will be offered today as lot 59. Also

one of the Klawervlei draft, the Silvano (Ger) filly is a

granddaughter of the champion Irish 2-year-old filly Damson

(Ire) (Entrepreneur {GB}), who has produced a high-class runner

in G2 Flying Childers S. winner and subsequent sire Requinto

(Ire) (Dansili {GB}).

Gaynor Rupert's Drakenstein Stud offer a colt by Trippi as lot

201 and this yearling is the first produce out of the brilliant

race-mare Beach Beauty (SAf) (Dynasty {SAf}). A winner of 17

races in all, Beach Beauty was champion older mare in South

Africa on two occasions and her five Group 1 wins included two

runnings of both the G1 Garden Province S. and the G1 Paddock

S. Drakenstein also offer lot 99, a colt by Captain Al who is out of

Peace Bell (Kingmambo), a full-sister to MG1SW Campanologist.

The mare has already bred a high class runner in One Fine Day

(SAf) (Trippi). Drakenstein=s second yearling in the ring, lot 23,

should also find favour being a son of Dynasty (SAf) out of the

dual Group 1 winner Happy Archer (Aus) (Dubawi {Ire}). The

stud=s lot 86, by the same stallion was also the subject of good

reports from those on the ground.

Lot 102, another by Captain Al, who has 27 catalogued, is

offered by Andreas Jacobs's Maine Chance Farm out of the great

producer Platinum Princess (SAf) (Rakeen). The mare is already

the dam of the dual South African champion Princess Victoria

(SAf) (Victory Moon {SAf}), whose 10 wins included four at the

top level. The yearling, named Prince Of Persia (SAf), is also a

full-brother to the Group 2 winner Princess Royal (SAf). Jacobs is

a busy man being custodian of three major farms in Maine

Chance, Newsells Park Stud and Gestut Fahrhof, and in addition

to overseeing the selling of a 20-strong draft he also found time

to be the generous co-host, along with Wayne Kieswetter of

Highlands Stud, of a very enjoyable dinner in Granger Bay on

Thursday evening.

With plenty of European pedigrees and indeed stallions

featuring in the catalogue it is no surprise to see many making

the trip from the northern hemisphere in search of some sun

and some good value. Anthony Stroud, who was busy

purchasing yearlings last autumn for Godolphin, is a regular

here. Cont. p7

Stroud commented, "There are a lot of very good-looking

individuals with plenty of well-developed and well conformed

yearlings that will ultimately make very good racehorses. I've

come to this sale every year since it started, it's a very exciting

sale and has gotten better each year."

Another buyer who has significant Thoroughbred interests in

South Africa is Barry Irwin and the Team Valor boss is back at the

sale this week after a few years= absence.

"I was a regular here but stopped coming a few years back.

However I sensed a change in the wind if you like and decided to

come back. Between mares, yearlings and horses in training I

have about 50 horses here so I have a lot to catch up when I'm

here."

Also good news for vendors is the presence of Mark Richards

and his colleagues from the Hong Kong Jockey Club and with

Saturday's opening session of 118 lots, including withdrawals,

set to commence at 6 p.m., all the ingredients of a successful

sale appear to be in situ.
