Profile: In the 28 year history of the
Breeders' Cup, there has been 1 dead heat. That was in 2003 in the
Turf at Santa Anita between the defending champ High Chaparral (IRE)
(Saddler's Wells) and Johar (Gone West) who won the Hollywood Derby
the year before as a 3yo, but was coming into the race off a runner
up finish to Stormin Home (GB) (Machiavellian) in the Clement Hirsch.
Johar helped his trainer Richard Mendella win 4 races on the day
(both of the Juvenile races (Action This Day and Halfbridled), and
the Classic (Pleasantly Perfect)).
Johar started his career as a 3yo. It
took him 3 chances before he broke his maiden and then followed it up
with an allowance win. While he finished 2nd in the Will
Rogers Stakes in June of 2002, his first stakes win wouldn't happen
till that October in the Oak Tree Derby. He would end that year with
the win in the for mentioned Hollywood Derby.
Standing at Mill Ridge for $2,500 this past season, he hasn't had the success that he had on the track. Although he has sired millionaire Keertana and Canadian champion 2yo Tu Endie Wei.
Sire
Johar is by Gone West (Mr. Prospector). He won the Dwyer and was the runner up in the Wood Memorial and Peter Pan. As a sire, Gone West also sired of Mr. Greeley, Elusive Quality, Dance Parade, and Da Hoss.
Gone West's sire Mr. Prospector (Raise a Native) is one of the most important sire's around the world. The runner up of the Derby Trail, he was also second in the Firecracker and Carter. He is the sire of Afleet, Forty Niner, Aldebaran, Chester House, Queena and many others. His dam Gold Digger (Nashua) is a multiple stakes winner and is also the dam of stakes winners Gold Standard (Sea Bird (FR)) and Lillian Russell (Prince John).

Her dam Yes She's Sharp (Sharpen Up (GB)) won twice in her career and had Windsharp before being exported to Venezuela. Her dam Yes Sir (Sir Gaylord) is a stakes winner and is a 1/2 sister to G1 placed Island Kiss (Hawaii (SAF).
Normally I wouldn't do this, but since there is no Weekend Preview this week, I thought I would put it now. A few notes, tomorrow is the final Juvenile preps for the BC on the East Coast with the Champagne and Frizette at Belmont and Breeders' Futurity at Keeneland. Also tomorrow is the Shadwell Mile with Wise Dan and the Jamaica with Dullahan and Summer Front at the same two tracks respectively. Sunday will be a monster day as it will be the Arc in France with Orfeve, Camelot (with Frankie!!), St. Nicolas Abbey (who is prepping for a BC defence), Bayrir (who could also be a BC contender) among others. In the US it's SA Championship at Santa Anita and the Spinster at Keeneland.
