Impact Study of the horse industry in Louisiana reports thatLouisiana horse racing facilities and races generated over $1 billionin gaming in the United States. This study was conducted by DekTerrell Ph.D. of Lewis, Terrell and Associates states that the totaldirect injection from the Louisiana horse racing industry intoLouisiana’s economy for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2016 was$578 million. Louisiana horse racing created a total of 12,640Louisiana jobs, which translate into $328 million in earnings gener-ated during the most recent year. Louisiana received over $64 mil-lion directly from the horse industry in state taxes during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016. When taxes generated indirectlyare included, state tax revenues from horse racing are over $73 mil-lion. I would suggest that you make every effort to communicateto our State Legislators, especially the newly elected ones, what ourindustry contributes to the economic well being of our state, partic-ularly through the creation of numerous jobs. We appreciate theirpast efforts and support and look forward to working with them inthe coming year to keep the horse industry healthy throughout thestate.

Clear Creek Stud was founded in 1969 by renowned horsemanJack Lohman. Over the years Clear Creek Stud has become knownas Louisiana's premier Thoroughbred operation. In 1977, ValMurrell, upon graduating from LSU, joined Lohman as his assistant. Soon after, Murrell assumed management duties andmaintained that position through several ownership changes atClear Creek Stud including the partnership of Jack Lohman andC.T. Carden and continuing when C.T. Carden bought Lohman'sownership in the farm. Eventually Val and some partners boughtClear Creek Stud from the Estate of C.T. Carden. Val has madeClear Creek Stud his life's work and carries the tradition of excellence established by its founder.

Facilities Clear Creek Stud is truly a full-service operation specializ-ing in skilled personal service to its clients and their Thoroughbreds. Located inFolsom, Louisiana, the farm is less than an hour’s drive from New Orleans andFair Grounds racetrack. With an abundance of fresh, smog free air and cleanwater, we are at the heart of Louisiana’s most fertile horse country.

Stallion Management We have worked hard to establish a stal-lion roster and breeding program that is second to none in this part of the country.Our elite group of stallions was chosen for their superlative pedigrees and confor-mation and all have proven their ability on the racetrack. Clear Creek stood theLeading Sire of Louisiana Breds for the past 6 years, for a total of 21 times since1973 and is currently leading the list for 2019.

Boarding,FoalingandTraining Clear Creek Stud canboard up to 120 mares at a time with full-service broodmare care, taking everyprecaution at foaling including the use of a night watchman. Boarding servicesvary according to the needs of the client and their horses, such as stall and turnout, private paddocks and group pastures. In addition, we offer training servicesincluding breaking yearlings, training on five-furlong training track with break-away safety rails. Recovering or resting runners can benefit from convalescence,rehabilitation and layup at Clear Creek using our numerous turn-out paddocks,swim facility and a Eurociser (mechanical exerciser). Additionally, we have a wellrespected race track veterinarian on call daily for assistance with any recoveries.

SalesPreparationand Representation We takethe utmost care to ensure the horses we represent at public auction have beenproperly conditioned and prepared for the sales ring. Our efforts have paid off.Clear Creek Stud has been the Leading Consignor of yearlings in Louisiana byGross an amazing 26 times in 34 years. Clear Creek Stud has ranked either 1st or2nd as a Louisiana Yearling Consignor since 1984.

Like many of you, I grew up in a 4-H Program. I learned plenty and

have a tremendous appreciation ofthose times with 4 - H l e a d e r sg u i d i n g a n d supporting youngp e o p l e . M a n y parents took thetime to help many children, besidestheir own, and the young people them-selves helped one another while at thesame time competing.

Alot of that seems to have dwindledover time and we currently have a

group headed by Neely Walker work-ing to rekindle this fire. They are striv-ing to rebuild the Louisiana 4-HProgram to once again have a signifi-cant impact on our next generation ofhorseman and citizens who will matureand continue the process over and overagain, to keep the flames burning.

Please join forces and contact theseleaders [[email protected]]

to see what you might do to advancethe cause. I consider it a most impor-tant and noble endeavor that weshould all be very proud of supporting.
