All three horses remain active, but in different ways. Point Given, a son of Thunder Gulch, is standing his first season at stud at Robert N. Clay's Three Chimneys Farm near Midway, Ky. His fee, $125,000, is the most for a first-year stallion.

Spain, a $3-million earner, remains in training with D. Wayne Lukas and might run next in the May 3 Louisville Breeders' Cup Handicap (gr. II) at Churchill Downs. Turko's Turn is kept at Mill Ridge Farm, owned by Dr. John Chandler and his wife, Alice, near Lexington. Turko's Turn produced a full sister to Point Given on April 8. She is booked back to Thunder Gulch.

Salman also keeps Spain's dam, Drina, at Mill Ridge. She aborted a Thunder Gulch offspring scheduled for birth this year and is in foal to him off a Feb. 27 cover.

Turko's Turn, a 10-year-old daughter of champion Turkoman, and Drina are both represented by a stakes-placed 3-year-old. Point Gained, a filly out of Turko's Turn, was stakes-placed as a 2-year-old and won April 18 at Lone Star Park. Drina's 3-year-old, the colt Puerto Banus, ran second in the restricted Sham Stakes at Santa Anita earlier this year.

Turko's Turn has roots in both Kentucky and Minnesota. She was bred by John Dolan of Minnesota, and foaled at the Hinkle family's Hidaway Farm near Paris, Ky. Dolan, with his wife, Clara, and Bill and Joyce Sexton campaigned both Turko's Turn and her dam, Turbo Launch (by Relaunch). The two distaffers were stakes winners. Although bred in John Dolan's name, Turko's Turn actually was bred by both families.

The Dolans, who no longer maintain a breeding operation, have been partners with the Sextons going back three decades. The couples have a horse in training, and the Dolans maintain a separate racing stable. They race in the warm months at Canterbury and in the winter at Turf Paradise and Southern California.
