It has been taken for a long time and now that the moment is here, the owner Lawrence Goichman could not be thrilled when he, as the owner, participates in his first breeding cup and was no less at home. Be Skythen is in the breeding cup youth sea November 1st.
“I will tell you many years that come here,” said Goichman. “It is one of the things you don't want to expect, and if it happens, it is like” wow. “It is one thing to see it on TV, it is different because I was at Breeders' cups, but not with my own horse.
“This is a bit of validation after it has felt a bit like this Greek character Sisyphus, who keeps pushing the ball onto the top of the hill and getting closer, but it always rolls down a little.”
The 80 -year -old Goichman was involved as the owner in the delayed 1980s when he took part in a syndicate. He was immediately enthusiastic and decided to bring it to the next level by learning margins and breeding it. Over the years, the businessman, who will quickly tell you that he is far from exchanging his financial and real estate transactions, has built up a solid breeding process that focuses on Novel York Breds, many of which he stops.
Goichman was once represented as a breeder of a breeding center starter. The Novel York Run Curtis Run took twelfth place in the youth grass of the 2021 Breeders' Cup for Michael J. Caruso and Michael Dubb.

The recently retired breeding brand is located under his homebreds, J'Ray who earned almost $ 1 million on the race track from 2005 to 2008 during her four years and was a winner trained by Todd Platcher with several graded missions.
J'Ray, a Novel York lawn, was named after Goichman's wife Jennifer, who earned herself as a younger nickname. The daughter of Distant View, a Kentucky breed that made most of his running in Europe, was produced by the Darshaan mare Bubbling Heights. J'Rays Mettle was regularly tested in the open company with positive results, as shown by their four rated victories. She won with seven different race tracks and closed her career with a record of 9-8-1 from 26 starts and a win of $ 969,843. In the breeding shed, she was an operational producer.
“J'Ray was like a professional athlete. She had a way with her eyes that were very playful when they came into the barn to feed her carrots,” said Goichman. “But when she was in the paddock on race day, you talk Muhammad Ali. She knew that everything was business: 'Don't nerve me now; don't distract me.'”
So far, the Skythian trained by Bill Mott was also all business in her teenage career. The daughter of the warm hereditary father bird Tiz the law The winner of the 2020 Belmont Stakes (G1), who is at Ashford Stud in Kentucky, won two of three starts, including October 6th, Miss Grillo Stakes (G2T), which, as the race of the Breederers' Cup Challenge Series, introduced an automatic fee Lying spaces for $ 1 million foals.
Miss Grillo was an eventful matter after Goichman's other Homebred, the Chad Brown-trained Wonderful Madison Had the lead when she raced on the quarter rod and removed the chances of two rivals. Scythian, driven by Junior Alvarado, was unscathed by the event and knew quite unexpectedly with the leadership, but knew exactly what to do with it when she broke a winner of 2 1/2 length.

Scythian is the first winner of Goichmans Homebred, the assignment that was awarded the utilize Dean Henry A half sister to several graded recycling winners Read the footnotes who was sold by Goichman at an auction as a 2-year-old. Dean Henry, a 19-year-old daughter of the Empire Maker, has a centuries of Colt from Tacitus and was grown too Jack Christopher this year. Goichman plans to breed her back to Tiz The Law in 2025.

One of the greatest results of Goichman in the industry came in the sales ring Star Devine . Goichman is a large fan of Fastnet rock-one two-time Australian champion, who withdrawn from the studies at the beginning of this year, and wanted to acquire one of his daughters at the 2019 of the 2019 Tattersall. With Mike Ryan as agent, Goichman Star Devine landed for 258,109 US dollars. She won three of 14 starts and was coordinated several times. During her 5-year campaign in the summer of 2023, she was injured and retired. Instead of keeping the mare and waiting until this year to breed them, Goichman saw the opportunity to make some money, and entered the November of November of Fasig-Tipton from 2023 to send them from Indian Creek prescribed and bought and bought by Kia -Ora and bought studies Australia for 650,000 US dollars.
Goichman currently has 11 breeding brands. They foals on the Stone Bridge Farm near Gansevoort, ny, only 12 miles from Saratoga Springs. When his mares are in Kentucky to be bred and before they go north to Foal, they live in Indian Creek near Paris, Ky.
“Occasionally I will get a view (about Matings), but I've been doing my own matings for several years,” said Goichman.
Goichman, graduate of Cornell University in IThaca, NY, had a veterinarian in IThaca in 1966 as a veterinarian and completed courses before the VET before deciding on a business major. He said he always had the desire to get involved with horses.
“I said to my wife: 'We should buy a horse',” he recalled. “She said, 'Let's buy a house first.' This dream went away.
“I did the partnership matter for two years and told myself: 'I think I like it.' So I started studying.
As the only breeder of 15 stakes winners, three of them rated the winners and a total of 105 winners, Goichman's studies tenth long before Scythian arrived, but he can't support Breeders' cup starter than owner.
“I have to tell you that it's so much fun,” he said.
Imagine he will feel when Skythen wins?
