Attachment Rate training at Churchill Downs
Attachment Rate, a multiple Grade 3-placed runner who ran in last year s rescheduled Kentucky Derby, will move to the barn of trainer Ron Moquett after selling to owner William Sparks for $160,000 on Monday at the Fasig-Tipton July Selected Horses of Racing Age Sale.
The 4-year-old Hard Spun colt was previously trained by Dale Romans for Jim Bakke and Gerald Isbister, winning three of 16 starts for earnings of $236,422.
“I think he s a nice 4-year-old that s got plenty of life left,” Sparks said after signing the ticket. “We re going to hopefully find a spot for him by the end of the year, then look forward to taking him to Oaklawn. We re going to look around and find something at seven-eighths or a mile, and see how he does. I don t know if we ve seen the best of him yet.”

The 52-year-old American, a partner of communications consultancy Finsbury Glover Hering, says she wanted to be appointed to a company board for a long time. "But I was not sure how I would break through," she adds. She believes there are many more capable women in Hong Kong.
