Juvenile Decarchy runner secures black type in Arizona stakes
Two-year-old De Sica became the fifth runner by the California-based stallion Decarchy to garner black type when he outran his 39-1 odds with a third-place finish in the $87,782 ATBA Fall Sales Stakes at Turf Paradise on October 17. [WATCH RACE VIDEO]
The youngster has made all five of his career starts in his native Arizona, where he sold as a yearling in October 2008 for a mere $4,000. Owned and trained by Tom Bartol, the gelding has already earned nearly five times that purchase price, with his most lucrative payday to date coming in the six-furlong Arizona Thoroughbred Breeders Association (ATBA) event.
Competing against 11 rivals while paired for the first time with jockey Vicky Baze, De Sica raced along the rail in mid-pack, moved up in the turn and passed all but the distant winner and runner-up while making his bid in the final furlong. He banked $12,698 for the effort, pushing his total cache to $19,296.
A debut winner in maiden special weight company at Yavapai Downs last June, De Sica has won once and placed three times overall. He is the second foal out of the stakes-placed winner Italian Diva, by Silken Reality, and was bred in Arizona by Filippo Santoro.
De Sica hails from the third foal crop of Decarchy, a dual graded stakes winner by Distant View who stands at Magali Farms in Santa Ynez, California. The 12-year-old stallion is a half-sibling to four Grade 1 winners, including North America's leading third-crop sire, Empire Maker. He is represented by cumulative progeny earnings of more than $2 million of his own. - October 17, 2009
Decarchy filly places in grassy, $100,000 Cal Cup Distaff
Making her downhill turf debut during the 20th annual California Cup program at Santa Anita Park, the 4-year-old Decarchy filly Quisisana took third in the $100,000 John Deere California Cup Distaff Handicap on October 3. [WATCH RACE VIDEO]
Contested at about 6 1/2 furlongs on the Arcadia track's unique hillside grass course, the Cal Cup Distaff attracted a contentious field of 10 California-bred or California-sired fillies and mares aged 3 and up. In the capable hands of Eclipse Award-winning jockey Garrett Gomez, Quisisana left seven of those starters, including Grade 1 winner Golden Doc A and Grade 2 runner-up Strawberry Tart, in her rearview mirror.
The Mike Puype trainee broke in mid-pack, stalked the pace from second and held her ground as two fast-closing rivals passed her in late stretch. She hit the wire two lengths behind the 7-2 winner, Bootleg Annie, and banked $12,000 for her owner, Ran Jan Racing Inc., to bring her seven-race earnings to $124,158.
Quisisana is the first foal out of the unraced Distinctive Cat mare Mink Kiss, and was bred in the Golden State by Todd Gerbovaz. A three-time winner, she also ran third on Del Mar Thoroughbred Club's main Polytrack racing surface in the 2008 Fleet Treat Stakes for state-bred fillies.
Grade 1-placed Decarchy is a two-time graded stakes winner who currently stands at Magali Farms in Santa Ynez, California. The 12-year-old Distant View stallion was the state's leading first-crop sire of 2007 and leading second-crop sire of 2008, and has four stakes horses among his combined earners of more than $2 million. - October 3, 2009
Decarchy colt rallies in Hollywood Park starter allowance
California's leading third-crop sire, Decarchy, was flattered on July 3, when a colt from his initial crop of runners rallied in the Hollywood Park stretch to capture a 1 1/16-mile starter allowance.
Making his 12th career start in the $29,200 race, Troubletimesthree benefited from a patient ride by jockey Joel Rosario, who saved ground along the inside while settling off the early pace, then swung his mount out for a late-running attack on the leaders. The 4-year-old colt responded to his rider's steady urging with a three-quarter-length score in 1:43.90, defeating seven rivals in the process.
Claimed out of his December 11, 2008 maiden victory for $25,000, Troubletimesthree has compiled an overall record of two wins, four seconds and two thirds and total earnings of $53,020. Although he trains across town at Santa Anita Park, both of his wins have come on the Cushion Track all-weather racing surface at Hollywood, each at the distance of 1 1/16 miles.
Troubletimesthree is conditioned by trainer Leonard Powell on behalf of his owners, Tony and Sue Lief and Paul Viskovich. The California-bred colt is the second winner out of the unraced Cee's Tizzy mare Cee Again, and was bred by Magali Ventures LLC.
Twelve-year-old Decarchy resides at Magali Farms in Santa Ynez, and is represented by 41 winners from 66 starters. Sons and daughters of the Grade 2-winning Distant View stallion have collectively earned more than $1.7 million to date. - July 3, 2009
Decarchy filly rallies late in Santa Anita starter allowance
Rev Her Up, a daughter of California's standout third-crop sire Decarchy, lived up to her name with a late-rallying run from eighth to first in a grassy starter allowance at Santa Anita Park on March 12.
Ridden by Victor Espinoza, who has been her partner in five of her six lifetime starts, the California-bred filly defeated open company and her elders in the third start of her 3-year-old campaign, which also marked her turf debut. Rev Her Up took advantage of her 115-pound impost, the joint lowest weight assignment in the 10-horse field, as well as an early, ground-saving trip along the rail on the Arcadia track's downhill turf course. Gaining momentum in upper stretch, she shifted to an outside path and propelled forward to the wire just in time for a head victory.
Rev Her Up stopped the clock in 1:13.79 for the distance of about 6 1/2 furlongs, and returned a $28.60 win ticket as a 13-1 outsider.
Trained by Robert Hess Jr. for Mr. and Mrs. Michael Burns, the winner was bred by Mike Burns and Andy Kolbe and is the first foal out of the winning Desert King (Ire) mare Esmay (Aus). To date, she has won twice and placed twice for earnings of $34,180.
Decarchy, a 12-year-old son of Distant View out of 2002 Broodmare of the Year Toussaud, stands at Magali Farms in Santa Ynez, California. With lifetime progeny earnings of more than $1.3 million, he has already been awarded titles as California's leading first-crop sire of 2007 and leading second-crop sire of 2008. - March 12, 2009
Showcase stallions top 2008 Western Region leading sire lists!
Congratulations to the connections of 10 Thoroughbred Info Showcase stallions, who emerged from 2008 as leading sires in several notable categories, both in the Western Region and nationally.
Leading the pack with remarkable year-end progeny earnings of $5,827,513, according to statistics compiled by "The Blood-Horse", was Old English Rancho's Unusual Heat. The Nureyev stallion captured the crown as California's leading sire of 2008 by overall progeny earnings, turf earnings ($2,893,629) and all-weather surface earnings ($2,511,242). He also gained national attention as North America's highest-ranked active stallion by turf earnings, second only to the deceased leader Chester House.
One of Unusual Heat's California counterparts, the Magali Farms resident Decarchy, solidified his standing as the state's leading freshman sire of 2007 by compiling 2008 progeny earnings of $876,349 - enough to take another divisional title as California's leading second-crop sire.
Harris Farms stallion Swiss Yodeler, California's leading sire by overall progeny earnings in 2006, ranked highest among all of the state's sires by 2-year-old progeny earnings in 2008, with $486,379 banked by his juveniles last year.
In Washington, El Dorado Farms mainstay Matty G ruled supreme as the state's leading overall sire for the third consecutive year, with total progeny earnings of $1,819,949 during 2008. The Capote stallion also topped his local brethren by all-weather surface earnings, with $297,123.
Another El Dorado stallion, Private Gold, served notice as Washington's leading freshman sire of 2008. With six winners from 14 starters, the dual stakes-winning son of Seeking the Gold was represented by first-crop progeny earnings of $71,688.
Meanwhile, Woodstead Farm garnered a leading regional sire in the form of He's Tops, whose year-end juvenile earnings of $123,483 were enough to rank him first among all Washington stallions in this category.
Bar C Racing Stables in Hermiston, Oregon, is home to two of that state's 2008 leaders. Freshman standout Harbor the Gold, a winning son of Seeking the Gold who attained an astounding three stakes winners from his initial eight starters, compiled first-year progeny earnings of $110,181 as the clear winner in that division.
Meanwhile, fellow Bar C resident Soft Gold (Brz) led all Oregon stallions by all-weather progeny earnings, with $153,426.
In Arizona, the sons and daughters of Golden Gear installed their sire as the state's leader by overall progeny earnings, with $632,649. Fleming Thoroughbred Farm's Gulch stallion was also the state's top turf sire, with $92,456 banked by his runners on the grass during 2008.
Category Five, a resident of Mesa Farms in North Dakota, was the overwhelming leader in his home state for 2008. The Storm Cat stallion was best by overall progeny earnings ($244,577), as well as turf earnings, all-weather surface earnings and 2-year-old progeny earnings.
Congratulations to the owners and managers of these outstanding stallions, and thank you for participating in the Thoroughbred Info Showcase during 2008! We are proud to be associated with these leading sires, as well as all of our Showcase members. - January 15, 2009
Three Decarchy descendants win their Southern California starts
Decarchy, a steadily improving California sire who is nearing the conclusion of his second year with eligible runners, attained three California-bred winners on the CushionTrack main surface at Hollywood Park during a four-day period in mid-December.
Kicking off the streak on December 11 was 3-year-old Troubletimesthree, a colt out of the Cee's Tizzy mare Cee Again who moved from eighth to first under jockey Joe Talamo in a 1 1/16-mile maiden event. Bred and campaigned by Magali Ventures LLC and trained by Mike Puype through his initial four starts, Troubletimesthree won by 1 1/2 lengths and was claimed from the race for $25,000.
Two days later, 2-year-old Glow Girl Go, another Magali Ventures homebred, galloped home a 1 1/4-length winner in her second career outing: a 6 1/2-furlong race for $32,000 maiden claiming fillies. Conditioned by Doug O'Neill and piloted by Michael Baze, she was produced by the Chief's Crown mare Tiara Glow, and is a full sister to Decarchy's top earner, the 2008 Hollywood Park stakes winner Harlene.
Another Decarchy filly, Blame the Wine, capped her sire's local achievements on December 14, with a hard-trying victory under Rafael Bejarano in a 6 1/2-furlong, $12,500 claiming contest, which she captured by a head following a stirring stretch duel. Bred, like the other recent winners, by Magali Ventures and produced by Storm Cat's unraced daughter Catrina, the 3-year-old filly is owned by Sterling Stables LLC, Mark Gorman and Anthony Scott, and has earned $16,800, with two wins from four starts.
Eleven-year-old Decarchy, a son of Distant View out of 2002 Broodmare of the Year Toussaud, holds court at Magali Farms in Santa Ynez, California. Already crowned California's leading first-crop sire of 2007, he is poised to be named the state's leading second-crop sire of 2008, with progeny earnings of $871,527 accrued to date this year. - December 14, 2008
Speedy Decarchy fillies push their sire to the forefront
A pair of 3-year-old fillies from the debut crop of California stallion Decarchy won bicoastal races on back-to-back days in late November to enhance the budding status of their sire.
On November 21, the Doug O'Neill-trained Blame the Wine found her winning stride in her third career outing, a $25,000 maiden claiming race at Hollywood Park. With leading local rider Rafael Bejarano in the irons, the 3-2 wagering favorite lived up to her expectations, translating an early stalking position into a strong stretch drive and reaching the wire a length in front of her nearest of nine rivals in a final time of 1:10.64 for the six-furlong CushionTrack test. Bred in California by Magali Ventures LLC and produced by Catrina, an unraced daughter of Storm Cat, Blame the Wine has earned $10,800 from three starts for Sterling Stables LLC, Mark Gorman and Anthony Scott.
The next day, Florida-based Miss Maisy turned in her third consecutive victory at Calder Race Course, a streak she has punctuated by a cumulative winning margin of nearly 26 lengths. Partnered with jockey Elvis Trujillo for her latest start, the 4-5 favorite employed her lethal early speed to control every step of the 5 1/2-furlong dirt race for $6,250 claiming fillies, dominating the seven-horse field by 7 1/2 widening lengths at the finish. Produced by the unraced Houston mare Lonestar Girl and bred in California by her trainer, Wesley Ward, Miss Maisy has earned $33,546, with four wins and four placings from 14 starts. She is owned by Ward and Steve Romano.
Dual graded stakes winner Decarchy, an 11-year-old Distant View stallion out of 2002 Broodmare of the Year Toussaud, stands at Magali Farms in Santa Ynez, California. He currently leads all of the Golden State's second-crop sires with year-to-date progeny earnings of $833,504 - nearly double the amount of his closest competitor, who touts $438,916. - November 22, 2008
Sophomore sire Decarchy collects four winners in nine days
The nine-day period of October 30 through November 7 proved to be a fruitful phase for Decarchy, a second-crop California sire who was represented by four winners across the United States. The quartet-three fillies and one colt-exhibited versatility, winning on dirt, turf and all-weather surfaces from distances of five furlongs to 1 1/16 miles.
First to find the winner's circle was 3-year-old Gooch's Dream, a colt out of the winning Dayjur mare Jade Fox. The Mike Machowsky-trained runner was victorious in his seventh outing against non-winners, getting up in the final strides of a 1 1/16-mile maiden special weight turf test at Hollywood Park under Rafael Bejarano on October 30. Bred by Patrick Harney and Charles Reily and owned by Oak Valley Stable, Gooch's Dream has earned $42,360 to date.
On November 3, 2-year-old Kittyontheloose lived up to her name when she parlayed an early lead into a 4 1/2-length rout as the 7-5 favorite in a five-furlong race for $12,500 maiden claiming fillies over a sloppy strip at Portland Meadows. Trained by Jonathan Nance and ridden by Clark Jones for owner Warlock Stable, the five-time starter was bred by Tim Floyd/Warlock Stables and produced by the multiple stakes-winning mare Reasonably Royal, by Petersburg.
Back at Hollywood Park on November 6, the Peter Busch homebred Showtime Apollo defeated 10 rivals in her second start, rallying from back of the pack under Aaron Gryder to a 1 3/4-length win in a state-bred, $40,000 maiden claiming race carded at 6 1/2 furlongs on CushionTrack. Conditioned by Mike Mitchell, the 3-year-old filly is out of Apollo's unraced daughter Dancingattheapollo, and has banked $13,080.
The following day, another filly from Decarchy's first crop, Miss Maisy, romped by eight lengths under Pascacio Lopez in a six-furlong, $6,250 claiming event at Calder Race Course. Bred by her trainer, Wesley Ward, who owns the filly in partnership with Steve Romano, Miss Maisy was produced by the unraced Houston mare Lonestar Girl and has earned $29,316, with three wins from 13 starts.
Decarchy, an 11-year-old Distant View stallion out of 2002 Broodmare of the Year Toussaud, stands at Magali Farms in Santa Ynez. He led all California first-crop sires with year-end progeny earnings of $289,243 in 2007, and is on target to repeat his reign as the state's leading second-crop sire of 2008, with progeny earnings of $804,720 to date this year. - November 7, 2008
