The Awesome Again colt out of multiple stakes winner Irish Cherry, by Irish Open, will stand for $30,000. DAAHER is a full brother to multiple Grade 1 winner Spun Sugar.

Rick Nichols, Shadwell Farm’s vice president and general manager, said the decision to retire DAAHER was made after scintigraphy revealed torn and injured ligaments in the colt’s right front ankle. Campaigned by Shadwell Stable, DAAHER finished third in the Stymie Handicap on March 1 at Aqueduct.

“He lugged in the first half of that race pretty severely,” trainer Kiaran McLaughlin said. “We had to think something was bothering him. There was no inflammation or heat in the ankle, but further tests diagnosed the problem.”

McLaughlin believes DAAHER was also bothered by the injury during an unplaced finish in the Donn Handicap (G1) in his season debut on February 2 at Gulfstream Park.

“He was blowing hard after that race, like something wasn’t right,” McLaughlin said. “It was all very uncharacteristic of him.”

A career earner of $455,163, DAAHER won four of his nine starts. The colt concluded his three-year-old season in 2007 with three consecutive wins, including back-to-back victories at one mile in the Jerome Handicap (G2) on October 7 at Belmont Park and the Hill ‘n’ Dale Cigar Mile Handicap (G1) on November 24 at Aqueduct.

DAAHER also finished third in the ’07 Prince of Wales Stakes, the second leg of the Canadian Triple Crown at Fort Erie.

“DAAHER has natural speed and was most effective at a mile,” Nichols said. “He is an outstanding looking horse, and he has a pedigree that completes the package.

“We are sad to see DAAHER’s racing career cut short, but his career at stud has a tremendous upside.”

Shadwell Stable’s DAAHER, brilliant winner of last’s year Cigar Mile-G1, has been retired from racing and will enter stud for the 2008 season at Shadwell’s Nashwan Stud.

Rick Nichols, Vice President and General Manager of Shadwell Farm, said that the decision was made to retire DAAHER after scintigraphy revealed torn and injured ligaments in his right front ankle. The colt had most recently finished a surprising third in last Saturday’s Stymie H. at Aqueduct. “He lugged in the last half of that race pretty severely, ” said trainer Kiaran McLaughlin. “We had to think something was bothering him. There was no inflammation or heat in the ankle, but further tests diagnosed the problem.”

McLaughlin added that he believes DAAHER was hindered by the injury in the Feb. 2 Donn H.- G1 as well. “He was blowing hard after that race, like something wasn’t right – it was all very uncharacteristic of him,” said McLaughlin.

Last year as a 3-year-old, DAAHER went from an impressive Belmont maiden win to take on Canada’s top 3-year-olds, finishing on the board in both the Queen’s Plate and Prince of Wales S. He then posted an eye-popping 13 3/4-length win in an allowance race at Saratoga and won Belmont’s Jerome H-G2 in front-running style.

In one of the year’s best performances, DAAHER proved himself a top miler winning the Cigar Mile-G1 over older horses, including subsequent Champion Sprinter
Midnight Lute.

Purchased by Shadwell from the 2005 Keeneland September Yearling Sale, DAAHER (Awesome Again – Irish Cherry, by Irish Open) is a full brother to multiple Grade 1 winner Spun Sugar. Their dam, a stakes winner of six races, sold for $800,000 at the 2006 Keeneland November Sale.

“DAAHER has natural speed and was most effective at a mile. He is an outstanding looking horse, and he has a pedigree that completes the package,” said Rick Nichols. “We are sad to see DAAHER’s racing career cut short, but his career at stud has a tremendous upside.”

DAAHER will stand for $30,000 live foal. For more information contact Kent Barnes at Nashwan Stud (859) 224-4585.

Taking a strong stand against what he sees as troubling trends in the breeding industry, Sheikh Hamdan has decided to limit the first-year books of both his Horse of the Year Invasor and classic winner Jazil to 85 mares each.

The movement toward books of 150 and more mares demand that stallions often be bred as many as four times a day, which Rick Nichols, vice president and general manager of Sheikh Hamdan’s Shadwell Farm near Lexington, said “is just the wrong thing to do. “We don’t feel that’s right for the horse,” Nichols explained, adding that Sheikh Hamdan “first and foremost, always does what’s best for the horse.” Without realistic limits, “you sacrifice your horse for the economics of your operation and we don’t believe in doing that.”

Many farms encourage huge books for their young stallions because if the horses don’t get a grade I winner in their first crop, they are not considered commercially viable anymore. The increased numbers may lead to increased chances at that measure of success as well as generate immediate revenue through stud fees. However, Nichols said Sheikh Hamdan believes that if it takes 200 mares to produce a grade I winner for a sire, “then that horse is not good enough.” Nichols and Sheikh Hamdan also are concerned that stallions that cover large numbers of mares may sire more weak offspring in general than those that do not.

Furthermore, the trend toward huge books for some stallions means that others that may be worthy are not getting enough opportunities, a trend that eventually will lead to less diversity in the breed. “If Mr. Prospector and Danzig were to go to stud today, neither would get a full book because their race records weren’t strong enough,” Nichols said. “Sheikh Hamdan is a very good steward of our breed and he sees things that we’re not doing right. We’re developing a breed that’s very closely related,” he continued. “All of us in this industry need to take a step back and see what we’re doing to the breed and stop looking at our pocketbooks.”

Argentine-bred Invasor, a son of Candy Stripes, will stand his first season next year for $35,000, while Jazil, the Belmont Stakes (gr. I) winner by Seeking the Gold who is a half brother to Belmont winner Rags to Riches, will stand for $12,500. Sheikh Hamdan will support both stallions with his own mares, although matings have not been determined yet, Nichols said.
