(Audrey Otto). The victory for the gray son of Maria's Mon was especially sweet for Alice Chandler because, she said, "It's daddy's foundation family." Her father, Hal Price Headley, was one of the founders of the Keeneland Association and its president from 1935 to 1951, "Monba won at Keeneland," Chandler said. "I bred him with my good friend, he's by a Pin Oak stallion, and my dear friend [Pin Oak owner Josephine Abercrombie] sent me a lovely bouquet of flowers. "The only sad side is that Maria's Mon is gone." Maria's Mon died of complications from laminitis last September. Monba is out of the Easy Goer mare Hamba, and she traces in the female line to Alcibiades, the leading filly of her generation at 2 and 3 who is the namesake of Keeneland's premier stakes for 2-year-old fillies. As a broodmare, Alcibiades produced four stakes winners, including Menow, who was the champion 2-year-old colt of 1937. Bred and raced by Headley, Alcibiades is the sixth dam of Monba, and Alice Chandler bred everything in this branch of the family leading up to Blue Grass winner. She recalled that her father "gave each of his children four mares, and one he gave me was Attica." Attica later became the dam of 1968 English Derby winner Sir Ivor. Another mare was Hipparete (by Pharamond II), a full sister to Menow, but, as Chandler said, she was "so crooked they weren't even sure they wanted to break her." They did, however, and, as Chandler recalled, Headley's close associate Major Louie Beard "came by one day, saw her, and told me she would never run. I said, 'I don't believe that.' And I said, 'I bet you $10 it won't be that way.' She won four races, and he paid me the $10." Hipparete was an even better as a broodmare, producing Rash Statement (Ambiorix), who won the Alcibiades in 1959 and the Spinster in 1960, and Pillow Talk (Mr. Trouble), who won the Black-Eyed Susan and was second in the Kentucky Oaks in 1957. For this family, Pillow Talk was a disappointing broodmare, and her best daughter was Ave Valeque (Bold Ruler). Ave Valeque got the family back on track, producing stakes winner Ciao, a daughter of champion 2-year-old Silent Screen. "Ciao was pure, unadulterated speed," Chandler said. The talented filly also was an early point of contact between the breeders of Ciao's grandson, Monba. Audrey Otto was first getting involved in Thoroughbreds in the 1970s, and Otto said, "I can remember Ciao when Alice was training her. Being around someone so closely involved in all the parts of racing and breeding was such fun, and that was exciting to me." The excitement didn't wear off, and Otto became increasingly involved in breeding and in racing herself. "I had been a minor part of the industry before I moved to Lexington [from St. Louis]," Otto said. "I've been here 15 years, and if you're going to be in this business, Lexington is the place to be. And being connected with Mill Ridge has been a real blessing." The association became friendship, and the friends became partners in breeding good horses. "I was pleased when Alice wanted me to take a part of Hamba when she was a young horse because I knew who the horse was and what this family meant to her," Otto said. "I was grateful to be part of that. I never had any sort of dream that Hamba would produce a Blue Grass Stakes winner, but I did hope that she would have some nice foals." Monba is the most successful racer out of Hamba, who was the last foal out of Ciao. In addition to Hamba, Ciao's daughter Silent Account won the Alcibiades in 1985, and Ciao produced three other stakes winners: Secret Hello (Arlington-Washington Futurity), Hadif (Phoenix Handicap), and By Your Leave (Anne Arundel). With that many excellent siblings, Hamba was a special young mare, and when the partners brought her offspring to the sales, the yearlings sold well and generated more than $1omillion from her first six foals. Of those, five have won. Monba is a Grade 1 winner, and Gijima (Red Ransom) is stakes-placed. Barry Berkelhammer, agent for Starlight Stable, Donald Lucarelli, and Paul Saylor, bought Monba for $200,000 at the 2006 Fasig-Tipton select yearling sale at Saratoga. Mill Ridge Sales consigned the colt. Since producing Monba, Hamba has a 2-year-old colt by Aldebaran. The mare does not have a yearling, but does have a suckling colt by Harlan's Holiday, and was bred to Discreet Cat on April 18. Courtesy of the Daily Racing Form. Click here for more A Poignant win for Monba and the Headleys 4/18/2008 www.thoroughbredtimes.com Thoroughbred Times TODAY April 18, 2008 3 by John P. Sparkman When Keeneland co-founder Hal Price Headley died suddenly in the place he loved most in 1962, his daughter Alice was there working his Keeneland Race Course shedrow with him. Hal Price Headley had given each of his children four mares about a year before he died, and one of those gift mares, Attica, by Mr. Trouble, produced European champion Sir Ivor a few years later. Thus, Alice’s Mill Ridge Farm, established on land inherited from her father, was on its way to international prominence. Barely a week after the now 82-year-old Alice Headley Chandler announced the transfer of daily management of Mill Ridge to her son Headley Bell, the 2008 edition of Keeneland’s greatest race, the Toyota Blue Grass Stakes (G1), could hardly have produced a more fitting or poignant result. The winner, Monba, was bred by Mill Ridge in partnership with Jamm Ltd., from a tail- female descendant of another mare Chandler received from her father. “He gave me Hipparete [Monba’s fifth dam] when she was a yearling, and Louie Beard bet me $10 she’d never race because she was so crooked,” Chandler remembered. “She won four races, and I collected my $10 with a big smile on my face.” Like Attica, Monba descends from Hal Price Headley’s great foundation mare Alcibiades. Monba’s fourth dam, Pillow Talk, by Mr. Trouble, was bred on a very similar pattern, since her dam, Hipparete, is a half sister to Attica’s second dam, Salaminia. Pillow Talk is one of three stakes winners produced by Hipparete, a full sister to Hal Price Headley’s 1937 champion two-year-old colt, Menow. Pillow Talk’s daughter Ave Valeque, by Bold Ruler, narrowly missed stakes brackets, running a close second in the 1967 Arlington- Washington Lassie Stakes. Ave Valeque’s daughter Ciao, by Silent Screen, won a stakes race and was a remarkably productive broodmare. She produced Grade 1 winner Secret Hello, by Private Account, and his full sister, Grade 2 winner Silent Account, was the dam of stakes winner Gold Case, by Forty Niner. In addition, Ciao produced two other stakes winners and the dam of Monba, Hamba. By Easy Goer, Hamba won twice from five starts, earning $47,500, and her fourth foal, Gijima, by Red Ransom, placed in a stakes. Monba is her sixth foal. Hamba has an unraced two-year-old colt by Aldebaran named Pious David and a 2008 colt by Harlan’s Holiday. Agent Barry Berkelhammer purchased Monba for $200,000 on behalf of Starlight Stable, Donald Lucarelli, and Paul Saylor at the 2006 Fasig-Tipton Saratoga sale of selected yearlings. Monba’s sire, Maria’s Mon, was well established as a high-class stallion at the time of his death in 2007, but he had overcome several obstacles to achieve that stature. By the good but unfashionable sire Wavering Monarch out of Carlotta Maria, by Caro (Ire), Maria’s Mon earned the 1995 two-year-old male championship by defeating Unbridled’s Song (fourth) and Hennessy (sixth) in the Moet Champagne Stakes (G1). Maria’s Mon broke down while training for the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile (G1), in which Unbridled’s Song narrowly defeated Hennessy, and he could not regain his juvenile sparkle in two starts at three. The first crop of Maria’s Mon included 2001 Kentucky Derby (G1) winner Monarchos, Grade 3 winners Wander Mom and Silver Tornado, and seven other stakes winners. The harsh realities of the modern stallion market, however, mean that horses with unfashionable pedigrees and soundness deficiencies like Maria’s Mon often receive little patronage in their third and fourth crops. Therefore, it was not until Maria’s Mon’s sixth crop—conceived after his first-crop success—that his first champion, 2006 champion three-year-old filly Wait a While, emerged. Monba is Maria’s Mon’s 36th stakes winner from 628 foals age three and over. That 5.7% strike rate is mitigated somewhat by the difficulties he faced before he made his quality obvious. The average number of career starts of his offspring, 11.4, is all too close to the current average for the breed. Monba is inbred 4x4 to that great sire of fillies, Buckpasser, through two daughters, Uncommitted and Relaxing, producing an inbreeding coefficient of 1.72% in a pedigree free of Northern Dancer. Whatever he accomplishes on the Triple Crown trail or at stud, though, Monba’s Blue Grass win serves as a fitting coda to the remarkable career of Alice Headley Chandler as she approaches retirement.

(G3) 2/4/2008 Passion (Came Home/Rajmata 3yo filly) was on the pace from the start, shook off one challenger on the far turn then was all out to the wire. "When we got to the turn, I had a lot of horse and when we crossed the dirt, she just took off." said jockey Rafael Bejarano. Passion made a promising start to her career, breaking her maiden by 7 1/2 lengths at Arlington in July and finished a solid third in the Adirondack S. at Saratoga on August 15. Passion was foaled and raised here at Mill Ridge. She has won three of five starts and earned $132,260.

Turning for home, Istan charged up to take command and opened a 3 1/2 length advantage at the eighth pole. Istan widened his margin through the final furlong, completing the one mile in 1:34:08 on a fast track. He has earned his fifth stakes win this season including the Turfway Park Fall Championship S.

Consigned by John and Carolyn Warren’s Highclere Stud, the colt was bred by Gary and Lesley Middlebrook out of their 21-year-old Sadler’s Wells mare Myth to Reality (Fr). The Middlebrooks bought Myth to Reality at the 2003 Keeneland January horses of all ages sale for $125,000 before two of her foals became Group 1 winners. Whipper, by Miesque’s Son, won the 2003 Prix Morny Casinos Barriere (Fr-G1) and added a Group 1 victory in both ’04 and ’05. Myth to Reality’s 2002 foal by Kingmambo, Divine Proportions, was Europe’s champion two-year-old filly in 2004 and champion threeyear- old filly in ’05. “Although the yearling was bred in the [United] States and raised at Oak Tree Farm, it’s nice to sell in our own backyard,” said Gary Middlebrook, who lives in England’s Lake District. “Myth to Reality does not have a foal—we wanted to put her to Kingmambo, but he was having problems at the time and we missed a chance—but she’s carrying to Lemon Drop Kid [whose 2004 colt out of Myth to Reality sold for $1.4-million at the 2005 Keeneland September yearling sale].” Tattersalls offered 25 fewer horses compared with the corresponding 2006 session, but total receipts rose 3.5% to $33,814,140 (15,801,000 guineas). Average price declined 11.4% to $256,169 (119,705 guineas), and median dipped 22.2% to $148,800 (70,000 guineas). Ferguson also paid $909,500 (425,00 guineas) for an Oasis Dream colt from the consignment of Watership Down Stud. The Coolmore team was again active, buying several choice offerings one day after John Magnier purchased the top-priced yearling of the opening session. Demi O’Byrne signed the ticket for a Montjeu (Ire) colt out of the Zafonic mare Secret Dream from the consignment of Voute Sales, agent, for $1,112,800 (520,000 guineas). Former Gainsborough Stud director Michael Goodbody also invested in Coolmore-sired stock, paying $802,500 (375,000 guineas) for a Giant’s Causeway colt. Pivotal was another popular sire as his colt from the consignment of Anthony Oppenheimer’s Hascombe Stud brought $1,016,500 (475,000 guineas) on a bid from John Magnier.—Carl Evans (Thoroughbred Times writer) Sindy With An S sizzles in Safely Kept victory 10/10/2007 Click here for more Sail From Seattle wins by a nose 10/10/2007 Sail From Seattle (Gone West/Seattle Classic 4yo colt) was beaten in his only start at three.

"Wait ‘till he gets good! He had to win ‘dirty’ today. We had to push our way out going to the three-eighth’s pole. He just had to make his own room, because I didn’t want Awesome Gem to get the jump on us. It slowed him down, but I just felt that we had to move at that time.

II) going away. Carrying jockey Mike Smith and a high-weight of 122 pounds, the 3-year-old Pleasant Tap colt’s bold move up the rail in the late strides of the July 14 contest earned him the two and a half-length score and the lion’s share of the $368,250 added purse. Tiago won this year’s Santa Anita Derby (gr. I) for his connections, including trainer John Shirreffs, becoming just the fourth horse to complete the Santa Anita Derby/Swaps double. Like his Holy Bull half-brother, 2005 Kentucky Derby (gr. I) winner, Giacomo, Tiago was born and raised at the Chandler family nursery near Lexington before going on to bare the Moss colors. The husband an wife team were joined in the winner’s enclosure by Ann’s family who were on hand to celebrate her birthday. The Mosses also raced the duo’s sprinting, multiple stakes-winning dam, Set Them Free. The 17-year-old Stop the Music mare produced a full-brother to the Swaps winner in 2005, along with a yearling colt by Giant’s Causeway, and a Pulpit colt foaled April 28. Each took his first steps on the Mill Ridge grounds.

Nicanor follows in Barbaro's hoofprints 4/23/2007 There is rhythm in his movement, that half-strut, half-run jaunt athletes possess, a feeling flight is imminent. The bay colt holds his head high, a large blaze across his forehead, the symmetry of a right front white sock accompanied by another on the left hind foot, acting special as if he knows. Other beautiful yearlings move about, a trot to a gallop to a full-bore sprint as they discover speed across the Kentucky bluegrass at Mill Ridge Farm in Lexington, but the eyes keep returning to him. He is Nicanor, who will be the most watched 2-year-old at the racetrack in 2008. Not just another well-bred youngster, he is a legacy -- a full brother to Barbaro.
