SureBet Racing News - August 2012

The best time in Quarter Horse racing to becoming a rising star is right now, and Carters Cookie

is the rising star at the right time after an impressive win in the Grade 1, $700,000 Rainbow Futurity at Ruidoso Downs.

This is the right time for stardom be-cause besides earning $350,000 – Carters Cookie is now two-for-two with a major futurity win and the trials to the Grade 1, $2.4 million All American Futurity are fast approaching on Aug. 16.

Carters Cookie stood out in the Rainbow Futurity. He broke well from the seventh post position, lugged in mid-

way through the race and easily held off Vancouver Moon for the one-and-one-quarter-length victory.

Blaze Carver, a 23-1 outsider, was another half-length back for third.

“This is a really good horse,” winning rider G.R. Carter Jr. said. “We knew he could run this spring; we knew he had talent, but I have to commend (trainer) Mike (Joiner) for waiting with him.”

Waiting on Carters Cookie also meant that he was not gaining experi-ence, but that was not a factor in the Rainbow Futurity. “In his trial (his fi rst start) he got the lead and raced a little green,” Carter said. “Today he was really focused and ready for a big race. He blasted away from there and was a little more seasoned.”

Owned by Mark Allen, Leonard Blach and Butch Southway, Carters Cookie was purchased by Allen for $40,000 at last year’s Ruidoso Select Yearling Sale on Joiner’s advice. After the Rainbow Futuri-

ty trial win, Blach and Southway became co-owners with Allen.

“I’ve been watching him all summer since I’m around the Joiner barn,” said Southway. “Before the trials, Mark asked me if I wanted to buy a piece of him and after the trials I asked him if he still wanted to sell. He said, ‘Yes.’ So, I bought my interest in him.”

Carters Cookie’s breeding is one of the factors that attracted Joiner to the gelding at the sale. “I always like Strawfl y Special mares and he’s out of a Strawfl y Special mare who is a half-sister to One Famous Eagle. Besides I knew Carters Cartel from run-ning against him and he’s a great horse.” Carters Cartel and One Famous Eagle are currently each leading sires from their fi rst foals to race.

Joiner also appreciates training for

Allen. “He just says to do what you want. That allowed me to wait and let the horse tell me when he was ready to race.

Once again, Ochoa showed that there is not a 3-year-old on the planet who can fi nish a 440-yard

race like this gelding when he won the Grade 1, $903,774 Rainbow Derby.

It was the largest purse in 38 runnings of the Rainbow Derby and the sixth-straight year that a record purse has been established in the 440-yard race.

Ridden by Roy Baldillez, Ochoa needed every stride of the quarter mile to get the head win. The gelding broke alertly from the fi fth post position, but has never been a horse with a quick start. However, he did have a clear path. With 100 yards left in the race, the outcome was very much in question and then Ochoa showed he is the fastest closer in the 3-year-old division to get up for the narrow win over Priceless Feature. It was just another head back to third-place fi nisher Jess Lips.

“It was a good break for him,” said winning rider Roy Baldillez, who rode a very confi dent and patient race. “The horse next to me came over on me a little

bit, but this horse has so much heart. He just dug and went on.”

Ochoa, a son of Tres Seis, raced the 440 yards in :21.353 to remain undefeated for four starts at 440 yards. He has earned $1,643,635, with $1,583,785 of that total coming from his wins at 440 yards. He also won the Grade 1, $2.4 million All American Futurity at 440 yards last Labor Day at Ruidoso Downs to secure the 2011 champion 2-year-old and champion 2-year-old gelding titles.

Trained by Sleepy Gilbreath, Ochoa is back to his peak form after a troubled sixth-place run in the $679,000 Ruidoso Derby two starts ago. He came back from the Ruidoso Derby to win one of the most memorable trial races in recent history at Ruidoso Downs when he ran down champion Feature Mr Bojangles to win his Rainbow Derby trial by an ex-panding three quarters of a length.

“He looked really good coming off the track,” trainer Sleepy Gilbreath said after the Rainbow Derby. “I can’t see any reason why we can’t go for the All Ameri-

Continued from pg 2We worked him (a fastest-of-the-day work on June 12) and that said he was ready to run,” Joiner said.

In a Rainbow Futurity stocked with lightly raced hors-es showing Grade 1-winning potential, the second- and third-place horses fi t that profi le.

R. Dosi and Norma Alvarez-owned and -trained Vancouver Moon fi nished second after impressive wins in her only two starts. The FDD Dynasty daughter, who is a half-sister to champion First Moonfl ash, won her maiden by two lengths and then took her Rainbow Futurity trial by three lengths.

Flying Hooves RRC’s third-place fi nisher Blaze Carver, a daughter of Wave Carver and champion Blazin Fire, fi nished

in a dead heat for the win in her Rainbow Futurity trial to break her maiden in her third start.

The remaining order of fi nish was Feature Hero, Scatmandu, Pyro, Distant Fury, Jesastar, Eyegotitgoinon and Nellie Delaney.

Carters Cookie’s co-owners Allen and Blach also teamed up to win the Kentucky Derby with Mine That Bird. When asked what it would be like to add an All American Futurity win to go with his Kentucky Derby victory, he said: “It just doesn’t get any better than this.” In horseracing, there’s nothing like having a horse like Carters Cookie who is reaching the top of his game at a classic time of the year.

In the $20,000 Rainbow Juvenile, Tammy Johnson and Jack Manning’s Solid Anita Jo

held off a bid by Blazin Rich and Run With The Eagle to win her maiden in her sixth start for trainer Michael Wakefi eld.

A daughter of Rock Solid Jess, Solid Anita Jo was third in the Ruidoso Juvenile and qualifi ed for the West Texas Juvenile.

Jose Amador Alvarez was up for the win in :20.113 for the

400 yards on a sealed track.Blazin Rich was one-quar-

ter-length back and it was an-other neck back to third-place fi nisher Run With The Eagle.

T O P R A C I N G S T O R I E Scan Derby.” The All American Derby could have a purse of $2,300,000 and a victory by Ochoa would make him the all-time leading money earning Quar-ter Horse with earnings of about $2.5 million. The All American Derby is held over 440 yards on the Sunday of Labor Day weekend.

Ochoa is owned by the partner-ship of breeder Johnny T.L. Jones Jr., Monte and Katsy Cluck, and Douglas Benson.

The Rainbow Derby was also a cel-ebration of the fact that age is not an obstacle for success. Jockey Roy Brook, who rode runner-up Priceless Feature, will turn 71 years old in August. “I just kept saying, ‘Come on fi nish line. Come on fi nish line,” Brooks said after the race.

Ed Melzer’s Priceless Feature, sired by Feature Mr Jess, had a three-race winning streak end in the Rainbow Derby. The highlight of his winning streak was a head win in the $248,000 Heritage Place Derby in May.

Samuel Valeriano’s Jess Lips was in the middle of the fi ght for the win as he fi nished just a head behind Priceless Fea-

ture and it was just another head back to fourth-place runner Tres Seis Nueve.

Jess Lips, ridden by Jimmy Dean Brooks, won his maiden in March at Rem-ington Park and then won his Heritage Place Derby trial, qualifying for the fi nals.

Second-place fi nisher Priceless Fea-ture and third-place fi nisher Jess Lips are trained by Eddie Willis.

The remaining order of fi nish is Fea-ture Mr Bojangles, Jesscuzican, Feature Mr Who, Bills Last, YM Quick and CD Riggins.

It was all about the money, nearly $1.2 million in purses, during the Zia Festival racing card on Sunday after-

noon at Ruidoso Downs, and nearly 10-1 outsider Gonna Cha Cha took the biggest chunk of the cash, $165,912, winning the $395,028 Zia Futurity for Quarter Horses.

The 11-race Zia Festival card was fi lled with stakes races for New Mexico-breds.

Gonna Cha Cha fought in the fi nal 100 yards with The Four Js to win by a head in :19.927 for the 400 yards. It was three quarters of a length back to third-place fi nisher Runin Sixes.

Owned by Norma Alvarez, Brenda Alvarez and Debra Laney, Gonna Cha Cha came into the Zia Futurity with only two

starts and has stepped forward with each out to remain undefeated. After winning his maiden at fi rst asking on June 3, he improved to take his Zia Futurity trial by two lengths as the 8-5 favorite for trainer Juan Gonzalez.

Runner-up The Four Js, owned by David Barrett with J and SM Inc., won his maiden in his fi rst start when he won his trial by one-and-three-quarter lengths. He fi nished fourth in the New Mexican Spring Fling Futurity.

Third-place fi nisher Runin Sixes

scored his only win from fi ve starts when he took his career debut on March 2 at Sunland Park. However, he has been on the board in each of his other outs.

It was a sweep for longshots with the $1 trifecta paying $1,262.60.

In the $172,026 Rio Grande Senor Futurity for 2-year-old Thoroughbred males, Scott Bryant and Joe Dee Brooks’ favored Kiss My Hennessy ran away from his nine rivals for an easy win in 1:04.42 for fi ve-and-one-half furlongs.

Casey Lambert was aboard for trainer Todd Fincher.

Ramblin’ Starr was well back in second and Thermal made a late bid for third.

Kiss My Hennessy moved to the head

of his division last spring at Sunland Park when he won the Copper Top Futurity and continued to show his stakes class when he was second to Thermal in the $135,000 Mountain Top Futurity at Ruidoso Downs.

A gelded son of Roll Hennessy Roll, Kiss My Hennessy was a $19,000 Ruidoso Yearling Sale purchase and has earned $163,000 from six starts.

In the $159,744 Rio Grande Senorita Futurity for Thoroughbred fi llies, J. Kirk and Judy Robison’s Back Seat Roll got a heady ride from Enrique Portillo Gomez

to score a hard-fought victory over KB’s Princess. Back Seat Roll bravely went through an opening on the rail and those two fought to the fi nish line.

Back Seat Roll got the neck decision in 1:05.18 for trainer Henry Dominguez.

A homebred daughter of Roll Hen-nessy Roll, Back Seat Roll has shown steady improvement and made her fi rst stakes start in the Senorita Futurity. After a second and third in her fi rst two starts, she won her maiden with a neck win over KBs Princess in their Senorita trial.

Cheetah Woods was third, a head behind Caliente Colt.

Fury Of The Storm had a clean break and an open path on his way to the win in :19.818 for 400 yards with Esgar Ramirez aboard.

Fury Of The Storm started his win-ning streak in February when he won the NMBA Stakes and he then won the New Mexico Breeders Stakes before winning his Zia Derby trial by more than two lengths.

A son of Furyofthewind, Fury Of The

Storm was a $2,000 Ruidoso Sale yearling purchase and has now banked $198,000.

In the $50,000 Land Of Enchantment Stakes over seven-and-one-half furlongs, Barbra Coleman’s homebred Smash Danc-er, under Casey Lambert, refused to give way in the fi nal furlong to defeat Brother

Louie by a one-half length. On Down The Road fi nished third, another four lengths behind.

Smash Dancer was timed in 1:33.42.

Trained by Todd Fincher for his fourth win of the afternoon, Smash Dancer was the 6-5 favorite after rac-ing to a third-place fi nish in the Free Spirit Handicap two starts ago at Ru-idoso Downs and returning to score a tight win in an allowance race.

Brother Louie was second in the Jack Cole Stakes two starts back while On Down the Road was fourth in the Cole.

In the $50,000 Lincoln Handicap for older fi llies and mares at six furlongs, UKUSA Stables’ Cali Baby was much the best when she scored her fi rst win since taking an optional claiming race back in

Trained by Eric Mikkelson, Cali Baby was well regarded at 4-1 odds after secur-ing third-place fi nishes in the Foutz Distaff and the La Coneja Stakes in her previous three outs.

Vestal Virgin fi nished second and Gos-sip Dome was third.

In the $50,000 Sierra Starlet for

3-year-old fi llies, Rita Danley’s homebred Roll Bloomers Roll held Sandia Sonata safe through the stretch to score her third stakes win.

The Fred Danley-trained fi lly won her division of the Copper Top Futurity and the Sawyer Futurity last year. She prepared for the Sierra Starlet with an allowance win over the Ruidoso Downs’ track.

In the $50,000 Zia Handicap over 400 yards, Fredda Draper’s Genuine American held off a determined bid by 13-10 fa-vorite Here Kittykittykitty to get the head victory. Klassic Strawfl y was a close third, just a neck behind.

The Carl Draper-trained Genuine American was timed in :19.782 with Esgar Ramirez aboard.

The 8-year-old Genuine Strawfl y gelding won an optional-claiming race in February at Sunland Park and then came

off a win in the New Mexico Horse Breed-ers Handicap.

In the $34,200 Sierra Blanca Handi-cap for older horses at fi ve-and-one-half furlongs, Stable HMA’s Our Choice rallied through the stretch and out fi nished Lesters Secret for his second stakes win in three starts.

DOUGHTY: No more free passes for cheatingBy Pete Herrera

Picture a poker game in which the pot is $10,000.

With that kind of money on the table, one or more of the players might be tempted to cheat. So as part of the privilege to play in the game, each player is asked to chip in an extra $5.

The Abe Lincoln isn’t part of the pot. Instead it helps pay for a policing program that ensures all the participants are playing on a level table, so to speak. The objective is to make sure no one is dealing from the bottom of the deck, no one marked the cards, no one came with an ace up his or her sleeve.

A similar proposition could be facing New Mexico race-horse owners and trainers in the future as the state launches another effort to eradicate performance-enhancing drugs and banned medications from the state’s five racinos.

New Mexico Racing Com-mission Chairman Rob Dough-ty says the regulatory agency is determined to eliminate banned drugs and painkillers from the backside and punish those who refuse to play by the rules.

“The message we want to send is that there are no more free passes in this industry based on your fame or your performance. If you’re using illegal drugs in your horses, you’re giving the industry a bad name and we’re not going to tolerate it,” Doughty told SureBet Racing during a recent interview.

Allegations that race-horses in New Mexico are often doped up have surfaced from time to time over the last 30

years, and this year is turning out to be a banner one for bad news.

In April, the New York Times delivered a scath-ing report on the state of horseracing in New Mexico. The newspaper alleged that abuse of racehorses in the state was rampant, that the safety of jockeys was jeopar-dized and that enforcement of racing regulations was lax and inconsistent.

The state took another hit last month when 13 horses that competed in the trials for the Ruidoso Futurity and Ruidoso Derby — two of the richest races at the track each summer — tested positive for illegal drugs. Nine of those tested positive for the pain-killer dermorphin, considered much more potent than morphine.

Going forward, Doughty says the Racing Commission has a game plan that includes seeking more money for its budget from the state Legis-lature next January. A bigger budget would allow for the hiring of more investigators — the Commission currently has only one investigator — and would pay for the testing of more horses. Doughty said the Racing Commission also wants to start an out-of-competition testing program.

All of that will take more money than the Racing Com-mission currently has to work with. So if the appeals to the Legislature for more funding fall through or aren’t enough, the Racing Commission is considering other alternative sources for revenue to pay for testing.

That’s where the analogy with the poker game comes in.

One of the possibilities would be to impose a $5 fee on an owner every time his horse is entered in a race. Another option might be to take a small percentage —1 or 2 percent -- of the money that now goes into purses and channel it into a fund that would pay for test-ing of racehorses.

“Both of those are the ones we’ve talked about,” Doughty said. “If you’re going to run your horse, you’re going to pay for the testing.”

Both proposals are likely to meet opposition from horsemen.

Jack McGrail, the executive director of the New Mexico Horsemen’s Association, said the association’s membership fully supports cleaning up the

industry. But he says the racing commission should look at other options before trying to tap into the purse money or impose the $5 fee.

“We’re not saying that those options shouldn’t be on the table if there is insufficient money available through the ordinary structure … but I don’t think your first step should be purse money,” said McGrail.

McGrail said given the eco-nomic impact of horseracing in New Mexico, there should be enough revenues to fund the racing commission’s budget at the level it needs.

“If the tax revenues are at a certain level, then the state should be able to fund the enforcement agency given the

revenue generated by that industry,” he said.

Doughty expects opposition to both proposals and says he’s already seen it.

“There is some pushback,” he said. “I’ve talked to some legislators, and there is going to be some (opposition) on taking money from the (purses). Also on the idea of paying an extra $5 fee. This is some-thing where the industry is going to have to come together as a whole and every-one is going to have to pitch in.”

McGrail said the horsemen realize the drug problem is a serious one, and “there’s a consensus that we need to do something.”

“For the benefit of the horsemen re-ally,” McGrail said. “When you look at the statistics, 98 percent of the tests that come back are not Class 1 or Class 2 violations. We’re talking about fairly benign kind of violations when you’re talking about a bute (Phenylbutazone) overage versus the kind of thing we’re talking about with der-morphin, cobra venom or cocaine. Things that should never be in a horse.

“Those horsemen who engage in that activity, that’s a very small percentage of the overall population, and horsemen

are fully aligned with the commission in saying we need a level playing field or we can’t win.”

A small percentage wasn’t the case when it came to the horses tested after the Ruidoso Futurity trials on May 25.

Doughty said between 42 and 50 horses were tested, and of those, nine came up positive for dermorphin. That means nearly 25 percent of the horses sent to the test barn had a positive test. It’s reasonable, said Doughty, to conclude that other horses that weren’t tested prob-ably also ran with the powerful painkiller in their systems.

“The odds would be too high that we got lucky and randomly picked only those horses (that had dermorphin),” he said. “I think there were more dermorphin uses in the trials.”

Doughty considers out-of-competi-tion testing crucial to the overall effort to eliminate doping. Under such a program, more horses could be randomly tested. It would include horses that haven’t raced for a while but are on the grounds of a racetrack and registered with the racing office. Currently, most of the testing is post-race.

Doughty said the commission also wants to expand its necropsy program. Necropsy is what an autopsy is for hu-mans.

“I would like to necropsy every race-horse that has a fatality or a catastrophic injury,” he said.

Doughty says there is plenty of blame to go around for the turmoil engulfing horseracing in New Mexico. But it’s time to stop pointing fingers and join hands.

“I think the industry as a whole is to be blamed, not just commissions,” he said. “But it’s a ripe opportunity for us to fix this. I don’t think it’s just the commission or just track management or the horsemen. Everybody has to be on board to get it cleaned up.”

Farm profi le: LAZY E RANCHBy Michael Cusortelli

Lazy E Ranch is synonymous with horseracing in the state of Okla-homa, but make no mistake: the

ranch’s reach goes far beyond the borders of its home state.

Go to any of this year’s major Quarter Horse yearling sales in North America – the Ruidoso Select Sale in New Mexico (Aug. 31-Sept. 2), the Heritage Place sale in Oklahoma City (Sept. 20-22), or the Los Alamitos Equine Sale in California (Oct. 6-7) – and you’ll see a substantial number of consignments from Lazy E, many of which will be among the sale-toppers.

Located in Guthrie, Okla., about 25 miles north of Oklahoma City, Lazy E Ranch opened for business in 1984. Several of racing’s top sires have stood at the ranch, including 1981 AQHA world champion Special Eff ort.

Lazy E is located on two ranch sites – the breeding facility, and the training center with yearling farm. The breeding fa-cility consists of 300 acres and includes a 65,000-square foot mare barn, 116 stalls, two foaling stalls, an indoor arena, turn-out paddocks, housing for 14 stal-lions, and the capability to accommo-date 120 mares under lights.

Lazy E’s training center can house up to 120 sale-prep horses in three 40-stall barns and contains an underwa-ter-treadmill barn and turnout pad-docks. The yearling farm has a 36-stall barn and pastures and paddocks for weanlings, yearlings and year-round resident mares.

Lazy E currently stands 11 stallions, 10 Quarter Horses and one Thorough-bred. The longtime kingpin among the ranch’s Quarter Horse stallions has been Corona Cartel, a Grade 1-winning son of the First Down Dash stallion Hol-land Ease and AQHA champion Corona Chick.

Now 18 and owned by a 33-mem-ber syndicate, Corona Cartel has from 12 crops sired the earners of more than $38.7 million, placing him fourth on the list of Quarter Horse racing’s all-time sires by purse earnings. His foals include 2006 AQHA world champion Blues Girl Too and champions Tellers Cartel, Cart-ers Cartel, Time For A Cigar and Flying

Fig. His top-earning starter this year, BP Cartels Alibi, won the May 26, $1,048,560 Heritage Place Futurity (Grade 1) at Rem-ington Park.

Corona Cartel has also become a noted sire of sires, including PYC Paint Your Wagon (who has sired the earners of more than $6.6 million from his fi rst three crops and was, through July 9, this year’s leading sire by earnings and winners), Teller Cartel, SC Chiseled In Stone, Agouti, Stel Corona, Corona For Me, Ivory James and Furyofthewind. Three of Corona Car-tel’s sires – Carters Cartel, Pappasito and Teller Cartel – also stand at Lazy E.

Corona Cartel stood the 2012 season for a $35,000 fee.

TEAM GONZALES: Horseracing is the bond that binds this family

By Pete Herrera

RUIDOSO DOWNS — Total cap-tivation. From 5-year-old twins Jesse James and Nathaniel, to dad

James, the Gonzales family eats, sleeps and dreams horseracing.

Visit Ruidoso Downs on a summer day and it’s virtually impossible not to run into a member of Team Gonzales.

Venture over to the track in the

early morning, and you’re bound to find 14-year-old Sebastian working out one of his dad’s Quarter Horses or Thorough-breds.

Head for James’ barn and you’ll en-counter James and Antoinette’s first-born — 16-year-old James III — rubbing down a horse or reading up on bloodlines.

And when Jesse James isn’t in the saddle on his pony horse, he’s usually

aboard a golf cart with Nathaniel and their 8-year-old brother Matthew as the trio tours the backside.

In reality, Antoinette and her five boys never had a chance to escape this passion for the sport, this addiction to long days, great expectations and win-ner’s circles.

James and Antoinette began dat-ing while both were students at West Las Vegas High School and James had already begun his jockey career.

By the time James was in his mid ‘20s, his riding career had soared to the point that he had become the first-call rider for Blane Wood. From 2002 to 2006, James rode in five straight All American Futurities, including a win aboard By By JJ in 2003.

His weight and his desire to spend more time with his growing family prompted his retirement in 2007, and the next year James made the inevi-

table transition to training.

Potentially, the sequel could be just as good.

Over the last four years, James has conditioned one top runner after another. A First Caller, whom James had ridden during the horse’s outstanding 2-year-old season, was a breakthrough acquisition.

“I’m thankful

I got the opportunity to train him,” says James. “When I got him, he was 4, and he just picked up where he left off.”

A First Caller won the New Mexico Breeders Championship in Albuquerque last year.

James also picked up Streakin Cherry, winner of The Refrigerator Handicap at Lone Star and Love Me Caliente, winner of the Spring Fling at Sunland.

“We’re putting together a decent resume,” says Gonzales.

Decent became dynamic in June when Gonzales won the biggest race of his training career with Executive Brass. The 3-year-old gray romped to victory in the $679,200 Ruidoso Derby, beating a field that included 2011 All American Fu-turity winner Ochoa and Rainbow Futurity winner Feature Mr Bojangles.

With four straight wins and earn-ings of more than $300,000 this season, Executive Brass is now headed to the All American Derby trials. Not an original nominee for the $2-million-plus derby, owners John Thurmond and Sherree and David Meridyth plan to pay the $50,000 supplemental fee to get Executive Brass into this month’s trials.

“He has earned his way in,” says David Meridyth, who with Thurmond paid $2,700 for Executive Brass at a yearling sale in Oklahoma.

Then they turned him over to James. “He has done a wonderful job for us,”

says Meridyth. “For a young trainer that just got into the game, he’s very intelligent.”

As a 2-year-old, Executive Brass qualified for the finals of the West Texas Futurity, but ran out of the money in the finals. He ran second behind Feature Mr Bojangles in the finals of the Four Corners Futurity in Farmington.

Amazing effort given the physical discomfort he must have been feeling because of a birth defect. The defect involved a testicle that failed to drop and remained in the abdomen.

“This horse has always been fast, but he had a testicle inside his belly,” says James.

BRASS TACKS: Wrong color but right horse turns out to be big bargain

Executive Brass

Executive Brass’ true talent showed up after he underwent surgery last December to remove the testicle that failed to drop as well as the second testicle.

“That testicle was about the size of a grapefruit and it was bruised up and was pinching a sciatic nerve from the top of his pelvis down to his hock. It’s made a world of diff erence,” says James.

No longer feeling the pain and discomfort he did as a 2-year-old, Executive Brass became a derby-caliber horse al-most overnight. He won his trial for the West Texas Derby but just missed making the fi nals with the 11th-fastest time.

At Ruidoso Downs, he ran the fastest qualifying time for the Ruidoso Derby, then went wire-to-wire in the fi nals as the third betting choice behind Ochoa and Feature Mr Bojangles.

“This horse is running with so much more confi dence and so much more relaxed,’’ says James.

To get him into the trials for the Ruidoso Derby, Thurmond and Meridyth had to pay the $25,000 supplemental fee. Gon-zales said he knew it was worth the risk, but his oldest son wasn’t so sure.

“After he ran in the (Sunland) trials in El Paso, the owners asked him what his plans were. Dad said he wanted to supplement him into the (Ruidoso) Derby. I kind of looked at him and thought, OK, what’s the matter with you. There’s Ochoa. Look at what he did to the All American (Futurity) fi eld. Brass last year didn’t come close to anything like that. But he said it with such confi dence, I think the owners were as shocked as we all were.”

James says he decided to pass up the Rainbow Derby — which was won by Ochoa — so he could have a fresh horse for the All American, which will be the richest race in history for 3-year-old Quarter Horses.

“I didn’t want to wear him out,” says James. “He’s run four times already this year and he’s

won them all. He’s really sound.”This year has been a tough

one for New Mexico’s horserac-ing industry. Between a New York Times story in April that labeled the state as one of the worst in the country for track safety and how racehorses are treated and the emergence of positive tests from the trials for the Ruidoso Futurity, the industry has been sporting a lingering black eye.

In the midst of his big year, James Gonzales was not able to dodge the trouble. One of his horses tested positive for an ex-cessive amount of Clenbuteral, a steroid-like chemical commonly used to alleviate breathing prob-lems in a horse.

James served a six-month suspension, and the New Mexico Racing Commission has since banned the use of Clenbuteral for a year in any amount.

James calls the suspension “a learning process.” A “simple, costly mistake. Very educational.”

“This is the James Gonzales barn and whatever goes on in here is my responsibility,’’ he says.

James says there were some “positives” that came out of his suspension. Among them perhaps was the fact that Antoinette, ever the low-key, below the radar, bookkeeping mom, stepped in and became the trainer of record for her hus-band’s barn.

“I was going to do whatever I needed to do,” says Antoinette. “Before, my focus had been the kids and their needs.”

There was a learning curve of course. For one, Antoinette had never before been in the paddock.

“I’ve been around the horses and done stuff with them, but that was a whole new experience for me,” she says.

A shining moment in her brief tenure as head trainer? Her fi rst win in late December with the Thoroughbred named Smack Talking. Ironically, James — whose barn now is dominated by Quarter Horses — got his fi rst

win as a trainer with a Thoroughbred.As they go forward, the Gonzaleses

— parents and kids alike — know there will be choices to make, paths to follow, hopes realized, hopes revised.

Sebastian, a freshman this fall at Rob-ertson High School, seems destined to follow in his dad’s footprints as a jockey.

“I’ve never really thought about anything else except being a jockey,” says the smiling teenager who also competes in football, basketball and track.

In less than two years, Sebastian, who currently weighs around 90 pounds, will be old enough to apply for a jock’s license. His dad knows the ability is there.

“I wish I’d had the natural talent that boy has,” says James. “He’s been helping me (exercise horses) since he was 10 or 11. He’s got really good hands, good bal-ance. Not because he’s my son, but he’s everything you look for in a jockey.”

Jesse James, who along with Nathan-iel will enter first grade this fall, shows similar attributes, says his dad.

“He rides horses now, and I see the way he rides and the way he’s around horses,” said James. “Just the way he sits on a horse or on the arm-rest of a couch.

You can see it.”For mom, it’s impossible to ignore the

dangers that are part of the sport. “That’s my biggest fear,” said Antoi-

nette. “As parents, we’re the protectors. I saw James go down quite a few times when he was riding. As a mom, I don’t know how I will take my sons riding. I tell Sebastian I will support him if he decides to ride, but I want him to continue his education because things don’t always work out as a rider and you need some-thing to fall back on.”

James III has mastered the ability to multi-task and splits his time between football and his passion for the family business.

“It’s tough for me because I love foot-ball, but the horses support us,” he says. “They give us what we need to live on, and they give us our cleats and helmets for sports.”

In the fall and winter, when Sunland’s live meet is running, Antoinette and James live at their home in El Paso. The five boys are in Las Vegas, going to school and living with their grandparents.

Such a separation can tax family unity, but the Gonzaleses work it out. Late

night road trips between Sunland and Las Vegas and Las Vegas to Ruidoso are not uncommon.

“They support each other,” says Leroy Gonzalez, the Robertson football coach. “If there’s a big race, James (III) will drive at night if he has to be there. His commit-ment is unusual for a kid his age.”

A commitment that likely will insure that James III too will be around horses in years to come.

“I want to be a vet,” he says. “Who knows, things change. Who’s to say that in a couple of years, I might want to do something else horse-related?’’

If not, it’s a good bet there may be an assistant trainer’s job available in his dad’s barn.

The 2012 Prince of Wales Stakes at Fort Erie Race Track A historical

day to remember By Martha Claussen

Showers pelted the community of Fort Erie, Ontario, on the morning of July 15. Not a welcome forecast

for what could be the last running of the prestigious Prince of Wales Stakes, the Canadian version of the Preakness.

Fort Erie Race Track was reeling from a shocking blow the government had dealt by removing slot machines on April 30. Gone was a revenue source that pumped over $1 million into the Ontario racetrack, attracting patrons from both Canada and Western New York. Buff alo, its nearest United States city, is just a quick drive over The Peace Bridge.

The consensus is that without slots, Fort Erie cannot sustain itself, and after 115 years, would close at the end of the year.

While there may not be light at the end of a very bleak tunnel, wonderful things happened on that Sunday after-noon. The rain tapered off and by early afternoon, a sunny day greeted a huge crowd on hand for the 77th running of the Prince of Wales Stakes, the second jewel of the Canadian Triple Crown.

It was truly a day to remember.

Top caliber fi eldThe draw for the Prince of

Wales took place on Wednesday, July 11, and was well attended by horsemen and media. Many truly great Canadian champions, including With Approval, Dance Smartly and Peteski, had won the celebrated stakes.

Fort Erie offi cials were hoping for a solid fi eld, and despite Strait of Dover, the winner of the Queen’s Plate, fi rst leg of the series opting out, nine horses were drawn. Five of the Queen’s Plate fi eld shipped from Woodbine, including the runner-up, Irish Mission. Inter-nationally renowned horsemen Roger Attfi eld, Malcolm Pierce, Mark Frostad, Michael Keogh and Mark Casse were represented as

well as hometown trainer, Ralph Biamon-te. Jockeys included top Woodbine riders Patrick Husbands, Emma Jayne Wilson, Omar Moreno and United States promi-nent pilots, Alex Solis and Corey Nakatani.

While the Queen’s Plate is contested over Woodbine’s polytrack surface, the Prince of Wales starters would have to make the transition to the dirt oval, many for the fi rst time in their careers. Veteran Canadian rider, Patrick Husbands had faith in his fi lly, Dixie Strike, who made a valiant charge from 14th to a third-place fi nish in the Queen’s Plate. Owned by John Oxley the daughter of Dixie Union out of the Smart Strike mare Noble Strike, again called on her strong closing kick to draw off to an one-length win over Ultimate Destiny and Colleen’s Sailor.

With the impending threat that Fort Erie might be shuttered at the end of this year, the victory in the Prince of Wales took on a deeper dimension. It was an emotional celebration for Husbands and trainer Mark Casse as they hoisted the trophy.

Horsemen and racing fans felt the sentiment

The crowd in attendance for the

Prince of Wales was a mixture of the young, families, seniors and ladies in festive hats. For many attendees, it is an annual tradition, sometimes shared by several generations.

Tony Musgrove perched by the beau-tiful Fort Erie paddock and observed the fi eld of nine Prince of Wales contenders as they paraded through the tree-lined walking ring.

“I love coming here,” said Musgrove, who has made the trip from his home in Toronto. “I remember my fi rst Prince of Wales Stakes, 24 years ago. Knowing that this might be the last, I brought two pals with me. I hope something can be done to save the track.”

Al Agar, a longtime Fort Erie race fan, was front and center for the day’s fes-tivities. He goes back to childhood with trainer Ralph Biamonte, who saddled two horses in the Prince of Wales.

“My brother Chuck and Ralph were really good buddies,” said Agar. “I am here to root on his horses.”

The smile left his face when he faced the prospect that this could be the last edition of the prestigious stakes.

“I don’t feel good about it at all,” said Agar. “I live in Chippewa, not far from here and have always enjoyed live racing

at Fort Erie. The government is kicking it to the ground.”

Jockey Patrick Husbands has fond memories of Fort Erie. He won the 2003 Prince of Wales with Wando, who won the Canadian Triple Crown and was named Horse of the Year. Wando navigat-ed a sloppy racetrack in his victory; Husbands guided Dixie Strike over a fast track and a gorgeous sunny afternoon, and had sincere praise for Fort Erie.

“I have always said that this is the best racetrack,” said Husbands, who has ridden races at Fort Erie for more than 20 years. “It has been an important part of my career. I have always loved riding at Fort Erie.”


Trainer Mark Frostad, watched as his filly, Irish Mission, failed to handle the dirt surface, but he took time to reflect on the fate of the Ontario racetrack.

“It’s a terrible feeling,” stated Frostad. “Fort Erie is not only an integral part not only of this community, but Ontario’s heritage. Granted, it’s different from Woodbine, but it’s a wonderful place; we certainly thought it was worth saving.”

Can “The Fort” be saved?It has been an unprecedented year

for Fort Erie. The closing of the slot facility resulted in more than 200 employees los-ing their jobs.

The innuendo was that slot revenue was sustaining the horseracing program, which has not sustained the popu-larity of other sports in Canada. Fort Erie management and con-cerned fans have written letters and marched in unison at Queen’s Park, but to no avail. Unless a radi-cal measure is agreed upon, Fort Erie will close at the end of the year, after 115 years as an Ontario business and sports venue.

This has been a very stressful time for Jim Thibert, chief execu-tive of the Fort Erie Live Racing Consortium and he takes little consolation in the “Plan for the Future of the Ontario Racing and

Breeding Industry,” which was released on July 25. The Ontario Horse Racing Industry Association, with the help of an OHRIA Task Force, developed the 26-page document in response to the Ontario government’s cancellation of the “slots-at-racetracks” program.

The Ontario government has pledged $50 million in funding to the horseracing industry over the next three years in an effort to help transition work-ers in the racing and breeding industry.

Thibert is discouraged that despite efforts by racing officials, horsemen and breeders, the government has not relented on its decision.

“The economic impact is huge,” states Thibert. “Over five years, it is estimated that $1 billion will be lost as well as 60,000 jobs in Ontario. None of us understand why Fort Erie is the target.”

The show must go onLive racing will continue through

Oct. 30 with Thoroughbred action and five days in October devoted to Quarter Horses.

Fans are invited to enjoy the racing at the picturesque racetrack over the next several months and to soak up some of its rich 115-year history. Patrons should not fear a somber ambience. While their hearts may be breaking, the manage-ment and staff at Fort Erie are determined to put on a great show for their fans. On Prince of Wales Day, they certainly accom-plished that.

“It was encouraging to see the turnout and know that we presented a great day of racing,” stated Thibert. “This is our legacy; we want to do it well.”

By Robert Geller

“And the race is on!” declares track announcer Jason Beem as the gates fly back at

Portland Meadows. With unique phrases – “who wants it more” — another fan favorite — and his smooth, on-the-move delivery, Jason can roll out a call with accuracy, insight and ease every time. With an understanding of the game well beyond his years, Portland Meadows is blessed to have such an enthusiastic personality call the action. Having worked hard to break into the field, his dedica-tion to northwest racing is next-to-none, maintaining a strong sense of humility over the level to which he has developed his craft.

The more time you spend working as an announcer, how do the challenges of the job change?

I just started my seventh season at Portland Meadows, and although I still consider myself a young announcer (32), I’m starting to feel like I’m hitting my stride a little bit. The memorization piece has become much easier and is really an afterthought now. For the most part I continue to try and work on my delivery, trying to slow down a bit (I still go too fast) and am just working to expand my abilities and my sound. What I like most about this job is that to some degree it is a craft, and it’s something to constantly be working on and trying to improve, and at my age and ability, there is still lots of room for improvement.

How would you describe your own unique style?

I like to think I’m somewhat unique in my delivery and attitude. I think I’m a hodgepodge of some of my favorite announcers who I grew up listening to. I like to think that I’m accurate first and foremost. I really pride myself on know-ing the names as well as I can and rarely having to pause or stumble during a call. I also try to throw in some humor once in a while, but for the most part, I just want to be informative and maybe add a little bit of excitement to a race.

What are some of the memorable mo-ments you have had as an announcer?

Since I’ve only re-ally worked at smaller tracks thus far (Portland Meadows and River Downs), I haven’t had the op-portunity to call any big famous races, but I’ve definitely had some mo-ments that I’m proud of and that I’ll remember forever. I was able to call Perry Ouzts 5,000th winner at River Downs, as well as his only win in the Cradle Stakes in 2007 when he won on Old Man Buck. I got to announce Russell Baze winning a race at Portland Meadows when we had a jockey challenge between PM and Golden Gate Fields. Also Mys-tacallie, who was the People’s Horse at Portland Meadows, part of a promotion I helped out on, she won seven races that season and her races were always memo-rable. And on a few occasions I’ve been fortunate to get to announce at Emerald Downs, which is my hometown track, and that is always memorable for me, espe-cially when my mom or other family and friends get to come watch.

There have also been some crazy moments that nobody else sees, but I remember. I had a group of old ladies in my booth once for a race and one of them screamed the entire time during the race as I was calling. One time at River Downs we had 40 minutes between races and I fell asleep, and unfortunately they forgot to play the call to post which was to be my alarm clock, so I was awoken by the pan camera guy as the horses were going in the gate, I hadn’t memorized or any-thing, but I winged it and got it done.

The lifestyle of a journeyman announcer is not for everyone. Can you share some of your own impressions given that have traveled out of state for work?

That part was amazingly cool but

amazingly hard as well. First of all rela-tionships become nearly impossible. I would meet a girl in either Portland or Cincinnati, date for a while, and then it was like, “Well, I gotta go away for six months, see you when I get back.” That part was hard. Also because all of my fam-ily is in Seattle, being 2,300 miles away for Easter, for my birthday, for Mother’s Day, for the Fourth of July was really hard. However, the great part was getting a fresh start every six months. I loved that idea that a fresh start and new meet was always just around the corner. Plus I now have a whole group of friends in Cincin-nati that I never would have met had I not gone there. People like Vince Cyster, who is the simulcast guy at River is someone I’ll stay in touch with as long as I’m alive. There are numerous people over there I still talk to all the time even though I haven’t been back there in four years now.

Job preparation can be seen and ap-proached in many forms. What does preparation entail for you?

I keep it pretty simple. I’m an avid colorer of my program. I always color in the jocks colors and saddle towels with my colored pencils. I go back and listen to the replays usually once, sometimes twice after a day of racing -- see what I liked, what I didn’t like and maybe what I might have missed. I take a look at the form but try not to handicap the race too much. I like to let today’s race tell its own

Jason is no stranger to the booth at Emerald Downs, having been a guest announcer on numerous occasions.

story as opposed to relying too much on what the horse has done previously, however I do want to know if a horse has a streak going, if it hasn’t raced in a year, or any of about 30 other things the form can tell us. Once they come onto the track, I do the post parade and my style of memorizing is to just start as they are warming up and call a race while they are warming up. If they are on the backstretch warming up, I just go left to right and try to get used to saying their names in race-call style.

What are your work responsi-bilities that extend beyond the announcing duties?

I recently cut down most of my other duties at Portland Meadows to focus on announcing as well as to have more free time to pursue some other personal inter-ests. I still host a weekly radio show here in Portland on 750AM The Game Sports Radio called “The Winning Ticket,” which is a one-hour horseracing show. I also do some call-ins to the radio stations and help with some PR stuff. I also help write press releases, and if there are other little odd jobs that need doing, I try to help when I can. I also host some parties and handicapping at our Off-Track Betting locations around the area.

Other than announcing, with which areas of your work do you have the most affin-ity?

I love doing the radio show, it’s been a very cool learning experience in doing something that while it is still announc-ing, is totally different from doing play-by-play horseracing announcing. I was for-tunate enough last summer to be asked by the radio station to fill in on a number of occasions during the weekdays to host a three hours all-sports talk show. Man was that hard. The amount of prep and research you have to do was insane. I got some good advice from a local host who told me to have five hours of material for a three-hour show. And he was right. There was one day I was hosting in the middle of summer and here in Portland that has usually meant no sports, with the exception of Soccer (which I didn’t really care about). So one day I literally was out of topics and we still had an hour left. I

was stretching the whole time. Luckily for me the next day the Blazers (Portland NBA Team) fired their general manager, so when something big like that happens, all I had to do was open the phone lines and people called in all day.

What is your perception of the modern fan and his/her needs as against the old-school race-tracker?

Really until this year at Portland Meadows, we hadn’t seen the modern fan. Since I started announcing here in 2006, we’ve always raced primarily or ex-clusively during the week and during the day, so we played basically exclusively to a simulcast audience. Our on-track cus-tomers consisted basically only of horse-men and old school race-trackers. The old school race-trackers are very set in their ways and most seem to hate change of any kind. I remember we installed these program machines at the track that were all touch screen. You walk up and touch the track you want, the day you want and it prints it out for you. It enabled us to have full programs and full DRF programs for every track as opposed to just the four or five you normally get in the DRF newspaper. However the learning curve was massive, and they all still wanted the newspaper style DRF copy.

So far this season though (we started mid-July) it’s been an explosion of new folks to the track, including more young people than any of the local old-timers ever remember seeing. But as of yet, they aren’t betting much at all, so I think the big need is for us to educate them and for

them to learn the game and hopefully become lifelong fans and bettors. Obviously nobody starts out just throwing $100 bills around, but if they get confident in reading the pro-gram/form and learning the game, their play will hopefully rise as their confidence does. Time will tell.

How do you bridge the percep-tion of a track as a live racing venue and as a simulcast venue?

It’s two totally differ-ent worlds here at Portland Meadows. On a non-live day, it’s the same group of guys (98 percent male attendance) in our simulcast area and they

are here probably anywhere from five to seven days a week. They just want a comfortable seat, all the tracks they want to watch on TVs are near them and no hassles or fuss. Now for live racing this year, management spent a lot of money and did a ton of renovations. The track looks amazing inside and much better outside now; totally doesn’t even look like the same place. But all that construction and noise drove the simulcast players nuts. It was definitely a work in patience during those last few weeks before the season started, however now I think the building is more functional for live racing and for simulcasting.

Where does racing fit in with the north-west lifestyle today, in particular Portland where the track has urban proximity?

I think we’re finding that Portland Meadows has a place as a social and fun spot in Portland. Portland is a very hipster town, people love things that are cool and retro and horseracing is that. If you were here on opening day this year, it was a mass amount of young people all dressed up like old people. We offer a fun day of entertainment in a clean facility with reasonable prices. We don’t charge admission or for parking which I think helps get people in the door because they know for just a few bucks they can have a day’s worth of entertainment.

As far as our urban proximity, any time when I’ve taken people to the back-stretch at Portland Meadows, they often remark how strange it is for this whole little world to be going on right here in

the middle of the city. We’re only five miles north of downtown and we’re only two miles from downtown Vancouver, Wash., and we’re right off the freeway, so location is certainly a strong point.

Can you briefly describe the nature of your childhood and its influence in be-coming an announcer?

My dad took me to the track all the time as a kid. We went to Longacres at least once a week, and when we would get home, I would get up on my bike and ride around the block, whipping it with a stick pretending it was a horse and doing my best Gary Henson impression. To this day I can still hear his voice “And here comes Captain Condo.” I think as children, we hold on to many parts of our past, and for me, Longacres and Gary Henson are something that will always be in my heart and in my head. My dad was a devout horse player, my mom owns a poker room and casino, so I was bound to end up around gambling somehow. After my dad died in 2001, I just kept going to the track, maybe to just keep alive some of those memories.

I got a job at Emerald Downs in 2004 working in the media office and loved it. I still remember on July 4th that year, see-ing Cesario win the American Oaks and hearing Vic Stauffer’s call make the hair on my neck stand up. I bought binocu-lars the next day and started practicing. I kept practicing in the Emerald Press Box whenever I could. I made a tape of my practice calls and gave them to you (Robert Geller) to listen to and I’ll never forget saying to you after you listened, “It’s a start right?” And you told me “It’s more than a start, you sound great.” That just inspired me that much more to keep practicing that much harder.

A couple months later I got to fill in for the Portland announcer at the time, Mike O’Brien, for a day when he was sick. I made a tape of that day’s races and submitted them to River Downs and got hired. There were really some lucky

breaks and doors that opened up for me, as well as great support by people like Patrick Kerrison, Steve Peery, and to some degree Gary Norton at Portland Mead-ows that helped me get that first job.

How does the public nature of the job impact you?

Well, because Portland Meadows isn’t exactly a household place around these parts, it’s not that public. Whenever I tell people what I do for a living, it’s al-ways a great conversation piece, because it really is a cool job. I have had people tell me when they meet me that I didn’t look like what they thought I would, as they have heard my voice but never seen me. I do kind of prefer being in the background and not being too out there, because I have pretty severe anxiety disorder. Being around crowds or being in the public eye isn’t my cup of tea. Some say there is nothing like being live on air. What is the lure?

It’s definitely a rush and a high, no doubt about it. There is a feeling of ex-citement when you hear your voice over those speakers.

You are adept in social media and net-working. How much an asset, how much a hindrance?

For me personally, I’ve pretty much dropped out of the Social Media rat-race, other than just keeping up a personal Facebook (FB) page. For a while I was do-ing the Portland Meadows FB and Twitter pages, had my own FB and Twitter pages and was doing a bunch of other social media including Internet chat boards. But the Internet really has become an awful place. It’s great because you can have interaction and get news out there immediately, as well as get instant feed-back. But the number of trolls who reside on the Internet is amazing. People who remain anonymous and post very libel-ous and hateful things is really a turn off to me in regards to social media. I much prefer to have a face-to-face conversation so there can actually be some discourse

and a conclusion reached. With social media, often it’s people who like to hit and run, and nothing constructive can be gained. And that inability to have a real discussion kind of led me to personally get away from it, and I’m much happier for it.

What motivates you?In work, I really just want to enjoy the

opportunity to get to call races and be around the sport. I’m thrilled to be able to make a living doing something I find enjoyable and can have fun doing. I want to be as good as I can and go as far as I can as an announcer, and hopefully I can ride this train as long as I can, as I’d hate to ever have to get a real job.

What interests or pursuits do you enjoy?I’m an avid musician, reader and now

back to being a student. I’ve played gui-tar and written songs for over a decade and it’s really my great escape in life. To be able to write something and have an idea go from just an idea to a whole song is a great process. I usually just record a song as a demo, just me and my guitar. I’m not in it to make records or anything like that, just a hobby. I love to read books and keep furthering my education.

I’m currently working on a master’s degree in mental health counseling and addiction studies. As someone who lives with anxiety and panic disorder, mental health has been probably the main focus of my adult life. It’s been crippling at times, and my panic attacks and anxi-ety were what caused me to leave River Downs and move back home. That was one of the hardest decisions I’ve ever had to make and I still wish I was there an-nouncing to this day, but at the time I had to take care of myself and it was the best decision. So the idea of learning more about how to help people who are facing similar mental health challenges that I face and becoming an advocate for those people, is something I put great value on. Ideally I’d love to someday do counseling part time in addition to announcing.

What are some of your career goals fur-ther down the line?

I’d love to be able to call some big races and great horses someday, but most important, I think I just want to have a long career and keep working. This job, while it is amazingly fun and thrilling, is not always the easiest to maintain steady employment in. So far I’ve been blessed with six-plus years with employment and haven’t had to try and find another job, and I know of colleagues who haven’t been as fortu-nate and that is tough. But hopefully with continued practice and improve-ment, maybe someday I’ll be able to call some graded stakes races or something like that. If I don’t make it to the bigger tracks, as long as I’ve worked my hardest and tried my best, I’m fine with that as well. I’m very proud to be the announcer at little Portland Meadows. It’s a badge I wear very proudly, and if I’m fortunate enough to keep calling here, then that’s great by me. Which is your favorite horse to call?

Big Dave L is a favorite just cause I’m friends with the owners and I like the name. I also love a horse named Shamun-di, and any of the old war horses like West

Seattle Boy.

Portland can be many things for many people. How would you describe “your” Portland?

Well I’m not stereotypically Portland. I always joked when I lived here and in Cincinnati that in Cincinnati I was a liberal communist, and here I’m a right wing fanatic. I’m an independent politically which in Portland means I’m right-winger. People here look at you strangely if you want lower taxes and smaller govern-ment. I do love the food here, it’s amaz-ing, and the beauty is unreal. I also like how laid back it is. Seattle, where I grew up, started to become more hip and fast paced, whereas Portland is still content with being chill.

Your biggest frustration with the industry?Negativity, pure and simple. There

just seems to be so much of it around racing, and it’s a big turn off for me. That’s a big reason I have gone back to just an-nouncing because for me that is fun and that’s where my enjoyment comes from.

Ruidoso Downs, NMTop juveniles preparing for All American Futu-rity at Ruidoso Downs

The top-five two-year-olds in the weekly AQHA Racing-Horseplayernow.com national poll are all at Ruidoso Downs preparing for the All American Futurity trials on August 16.

The horses with the

10-fastest times from the 440-yard trials qualify to race in the Grade 1, $2,400,000 All American Futurity on Labor Day. The All American Futurity is the world’s richest quarter horse race and carries the largest purse for any horse race for two-year-olds in North America.

The top-five juveniles at Ruidoso Downs preparing for the All American Futurity, in ranking order, are One Dashing Eagle, Carters Cookie, PJ Chick In Black, BP Cartels Alibi and Lota PYC.

On Tuesday morning, Grade 1, $1,000,000 Ed Burke Million winner One Dashing Eagle took his first serious strides on the Ruidoso Downs track when he drilled 330 yards from the gate in :16.84. The One Famous Eagle son earned his number-one ranking after winning the Ed Burke Futurity at Los Alamitos Race Course by one-and-one-quarter lengths as the 3-2 favorite.

Mark Allen, Leonard Blach and Butch Southway’s second-ranked Carters Cookie is two-for-two for trainer Mike Joiner and won the Grade 1, $700,000 Rainbow Futurity on July 22. The gelding dominated by one-and-one-quarter lengths over the highly regarded Vancouver Moon, another All American Futurity trial prob-able entrant.

Ruidoso Futurity win-ner PJ Chick In Black posted a 220-yard turn-and-work in :11.51 for new trainer John Stinebaugh on July 19. She is undefeated from four starts with a win in the New Mexican Spring Futurity to go with her Grade 1, $600,000 Ruidoso Futurity victory. She is owned by Denny Bowen, Susan Taylor,

Jack Smith and Lynne Smith.Raymundo Villareal Jr’s

Heritage Place Futurity winner BP Cartels Alibi turned in a :16.96 work for 330 yards from the gate on Sunday morning at Ruidoso Downs. The Corona Cartel son won the Grade 1, $1,048,000 Heritage Place Futurity for trainer Trey Wood by a head on May 26.

Steve Holt’s Lota PYC, undefeated from three starts, turned in a :17.06 work for 330 yards from the gate on July 26. The Rodney Reed trained son of PYC Paint Your Wagon won the Remington Park Oklaho-ma-bred Futurity by two-and-one-quarter lengths as the even-money favorite in his most recent start on April 14.

PJ Chick In Black and BP Cartels Alibi would each need to be supplemented at a cost of $50,000 to enter the All American Futurity trials.

JULY 28, 2012Workers’ Compensation Program for California horsemen renewed by CTBL

The California Thorough-bred Business League (CTBL) has renewed its agreement for a statewide workers’ compensation program with Finish Line Self Insurance Group (FSLIG). The program renewal became effective July 1. Unfortunately, due to higher workers’ compensation costs and a continuing decline in the pool of available subsidy

funding, the new program will have changes to Jockey Mount premiums as described below. However, Starter Fees have not been reduced.

Finish Line has been in op-eration for seven years serving Quarter Horse horsemen, and has handled workers’ compen-sation for the Thoroughbred horsemen for the past year. Owners having workers’ comp insurance questions concern-ing the FSLIG Workers’ Com-pensation program may call (714) 820-2743.

The CTBL – composed of racing associations, horsemen’s organizations, and fairs – over-sees funds intended to provide relief to owners and trainers in three ways:

A subsidy for trainers’ backstretch workers’ compen-sation;

A subsidy for jockey mount workers’ compensa-tion; A Starter Fee to owners of horses competing in overnight races, which finish sixth and beyond (and to fifth place finishers when their share of purse money is less than the corresponding Starter Fee).

Unfortunately, workers’ compensation costs have risen and the estimated pool of available subsidy funds has de-clined considerably since 2008. Consequently, the CTBL has made the following change effective July 1, 2012:

Jockey Mount Workers’ Compensation Fee – The jockey mount insurance pre-mium increased $35 to $175 per mount. CTBL is subsidiz-ing $70 per mount, or a 40% subsidy. The result is that owners will pay a net rate of $105, which is up from $90 currently. As in the past, this fee is automatically deducted

from your horseman’s account. In the South, this will apply to all races beginning with the Del Mar Meeting on July 18. In the North, the change will be effective with the opening of the Golden Gate Meeting on August 17, 2012. The subsidy will make up the difference prior to these respective dates.

Horses which finish sixth and beyond (and to fifth place finishers when their share of purse money is less than the corresponding Starter Fee) shall continue to be paid as follows: $350 per start in the South; $260 per start in the North; and, $130 per start at the Fairs on days when not overlapped with a “major” meet in their zone.

Ruidoso Downs, NMHigheasterjet Handicap finish restored to origi-nal order

The order of finish in the Grade 3, $30,000 Higheasterjet Handicap on July 1 has been restored to the original order of finish by the New Mexico Racing Commission.

JD Baccarat crossed the finish line a head in front of A Toss Up and then was disquali-fied and placed last for interfer-ence by the Ruidoso Downs stewards. The NMRC overruled the stewards decision and the NMRC order was signed and finalized on July 27.

The order of finish is JD Baccarat in first place, A Toss Up in second place and Noconi in third place.

The appeal to the NMRC was made by JD Baccarat’s trainer Paul Jones.

A gelding by Mr Jess Perry, JD Baccarat scored his first stakes win in the Higheasterjet. He was third in the $703,000

Ruidoso Derby in 2011 for owners Johnny Cope, Stan Herzog, Butch Southway, R.D. Hubbard and Bat Masterson.

Within 30 days of this decision, it can be appealed to district court.

JULY 27, 2012RCI to consider ‘One Strike, You’re Out’

The Board of Directors of Racing Commissioners International (RCI) has voted to direct its committees to de-velop a “One Strike, You’re Out” proposal for those licensees found to be responsible for putting substances in horses that endanger the horse.

Under an approach outlined by RCI President Ed Martin, not only licensed train-ers, but also owners who fail to monitor their trainers and the veterinarians who provide or facilitate the administration of such substances could be subject to exclusion. In addi-tion to racing license revoca-tion, complaints would also be filed with law enforcement for possible violations of animal cruelty statutes.

The RCI Regulatory Veterinarians Committee has been instructed to compile a list of substances that, if found in a horse during drug test-ing, would warrant this type of treatment. The committee chairperson, Dr. Lynn Hovda of the Minnesota Racing Com-mission, suggested that the presence of some therapeutic substances (e.g. Clenbuterol) at excessive levels should also be considered, suggesting that such administrations may qualify those responsible for similar regulatory treatment.

Maximum penalties under current RCI Model Rules rec-ommend a first time penalty for the most egregious drug violation of a one to three year

suspension and a $10,000 to $25,000 fine. A license revoca-tion recommendation current-ly does not apply in until the second offense with aggravat-ing circumstances.

“There is general consen-sus among the regulators that these guidelines do not deter those who would use things that endanger our horses. This will be changed,” predicted Martin.

The RCI Board also agreed in principle with a proposed procedure in which veterinar-ians believed to be overusing legal medications in inappro-priate ways would be referred to those agencies with the power to review their actions and revoke their license to practice veterinary medicine.

“RCI is clearly concerned about reports of the overuse and possible abuse of legal medications and believe that

this is where the hole is in the racing regulatory scheme,” Martin said, noting that rac-ing commissions do not have jurisdictional authority over the practice of veterinary medicine.

While endorsing the con-cept, the RCI Board deferred action on a specific protocol proposed by Martin based upon concerns raised by the Regulatory Veterinarians Com-mittee. The committee was instructed to suggest modifica-tions and instructed the Model Rules Committee to consider how best to handle such refer-rals at its next meeting, cur-rently scheduled for December 6, 2012 in Tucson, Arizona.

In other actions, the RCI Board adopted the following Model Rule revisions:

• A requirement that writ-ten logs be maintained by racetrack security person-

nel noting the names and license numbers of those individuals who enter the backstretch of racetracks be-tween the hours of Midnight and 5 a.m.

• New restrictions on the use of Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy (ESWT) ma-chines and the imposition of a 1 year suspension and $10,000 fine for rule viola-tions. Aggravating factors could increase the penalty to a three year suspension and $25,000 fine as well as a 90-day exclusion of the horse from racing. ESWT machines would be regis-tered with the commission and the location and hours of treatments required to be approved.

• Horses treated by veterinar-ians with ESWT would be ineligible to race or train for ten days following the day of treatment, treatments must be reported to the official veterinarian, and horses treated would be placed on an “ineligible list” maintained in the race office and accessible to practicing veterinarians and jockeys.

The RCI Board also voted to accelerate review of the proposed Reform Medication Rules submitted by The Jockey Club and created a Task Force to assess the recommended thresholds and withdrawal times.

“We appreciate the pro-posal that The Jockey Club has made and view it as a good first step that is in need of some strengthening in certain areas,” Martin noted. “There is general agreement among the regulators to develop stronger penalties and to provide a level of deterrence to those veteri-narians who may be pressured to do things they know in their heart they should not.”

Hobbs, NMJonathan Horowitz named new Zia Park an-nouncer

Jonathan Horowitz will be the new horse race an-nouncer at Zia Park in Hobbs, New Mexico, when the 2012 season begins on September 8. Horowitz, 27, began an-nouncing when he was 14 and became the youngest person ever to call a horse race in the United States at California’s Los Alamitos Race Course in 1999. He is currently the announcer at Arapahoe Park outside Denver. He has called at 19 racetracks in the United States and Great Britain, and for sev-eral years he was the Ameri-can guest announcer at the Glorious Goodwood Festival in Chichester, England.

In addition to announc-ing at Zia Park, Horowitz will write articles for the race-track’s program and conduct handicapping classes. “I think it’s important to interact with people, and I look forward to meeting the fans at Zia Park,” Horowitz said. “The racetrack is really developing a high profile in just its seventh year of rac-ing, and I’m excited to be part of a growing track.”

Zia Park will conduct a 54-day meeting of Thoroughbred and Quarter Horse races from September 8 to December 4 highlighted on October 28 by New Mexico Cup Day, one of the richest cards for state-breds in the nation with purses totaling approximately $2 million. The track will also hold one of the year’s final major derby races, the $150,000 Zia Park Derby on December 1.

Horowitz holds a master’s degree in kinesiology special-izing in sports business and statistics from the University of Maryland, College Park. In ad-dition to announcing, he works in the Publishing Office at the

Library of Congress in Wash-ington, D.C., assisting author Susan Reyburn on a new book titled Football Nation about football’s history and influ-ence on business, politics and culture in the United States. He is also the author of “The One and Only: A Sports Quiz Deck of Definitive Games, Teams, Players, and Events” published by Pomegranate Communica-tions in 2012.

JULY 26, 2012Auburn, WAWashington Racing Hall of Fame announces its Class of 2012

Jockey Paul Frey and trainer Wayne Branch head up a stellar field of 2012 Wash-ington Racing Hall of Fame inductees, Emerald Downs announced Thursday.

Hilco Scamper, 1985 Wash-ington Horse of the Year, and Rings a Chime, a two time state champion and 2000 Kentucky Oaks runner-up, are winners in the male and female horse division, while George Newell is honored in the breeding division.

Also, Emerald Downs Vice President Jack Hodge will be saluted for Lifetime Achieve-ment, becoming only the sixth recipient of one of the state’s highest awards in Thorough-bred racing.

The Washington Racing Hall of Fame’s 10th annual induction ceremony is 7 p.m., Saturday, Aug. 18 at Emerald Downs, on the eve of the 77th running of the $200,000 Lon-gacres Mile (Grade 3).

Known as “The Master” when he dominated Longacres with five training titles includ-ing three straight from 1961-63, Branch conditioned the great sprinter Lak Nak to eight stakes wins—usually with Frey riding—in the mid 1960s.

It’s natural that Branch and Frey would enter the Hall of Fame in the same year, as they combined to win some 500 races in Washington and Arizona in the 1950s and 60s. And like Branch, Frey was a mainstay at Longacres while winning titles in 1964 and ’66 and finishing fourth all-time with 810 wins. A native of Saskatchewan, Frey rode 2,479 winners in a 20-year career from 1953-72.

A 1983 foal by Knights Choice-Lucky Sport, Hilco Scamper won 14 races includ-ing six stakes in a 34-race career that featured victories in the Grade 2 Sapling Stakes at Monmouth Park and Grade 2 Juvenile Championship at Hol-lywood Park. Trained by Mike Chambers, the electrifying gelding was one of the fastest juveniles in state history, and also proved his mettle as an older horse including sev-eral races against top quarter horses at 870 yards.

A 1997 foal by Metfield-Outofthebluebell, Rings a Chime was named cham-pion Washington 2-Year-Old and 2-Year-Old Filly in 1999, and champion Washington 3-Year-Old and 3-Year-Old Filly in 2000. Trained by Lonnie Arterburn, Rings a Chime was stakes placed eight times in 13 career starts, topped by a victory in the 2000 Ashland Stakes (Grade 1) at Keeneland and a second to Secret Status in the 2000 Kentucky Oaks (Grade 1).

George Newell oper-ated Newellhurst Farm, a 100-acre spread in Kingston on the Kitsap Peninsula, where leading sires Black Forest and Better Bet stood in 1940 and 50s. Newell also raced 11-time stakes winner How Now and Collaborator, who in 1958 became the last horse to sweep the Longacres Mile and


Longacres Derby in the same year.

JULY 21, 2012Texas Class 1 tracks apply for 110 Thorough-bred dates, 64 Quarter Horse dates in 2013

Texas’ Class 1 tracks ap-plied for 110 Thoroughbred racing dates in 2013, the same number they will run in 2012 once Retama Park’s 26-day meet ends in late December.

However, the 110 total days in 2013 have a slightly dif-ferent make up than 2012. Sam Houston officials submitted a request for 34 days in 2013, three more than 2012. Lone Star management dropped three days from the 53 run in 2012 and Retama Park’s appli-cation is the same as this year.

The respective Class 1 ap-plications are as follows:

Sam Houston – Friday, Jan. 18 through Sunday, March 17 (34 days) (Friday, Saturday nights and Sunday, Monday afternoons; dark on Super Bowl Sunday)

Lone Star – Thursday, April 11 through Sunday, July 6 (50 days) (Thursday, Friday nights and Saturday, Sunday afternoons through June 16; Saturday nights June 22, 29 and July 6; Memorial Day after-noon; No racing Thursday, May 30, Sundays, June 23 and 30)

Retama – Friday, Oct. 4 through Saturday, Dec. 28 (26 days) (Friday, Saturday nights)

Gillespie County Fair has applied for its traditional 8-day, 4-weekend mixed meet begin-ning the Saturday and Sunday following July 4 and ending the last weekend in August.

The Class 1 tracks also applied for 64 Quarter Horse dates with Sam Houston seek-ing 21, Retama applying for 20 and Lone Star asking for 23.

JULY 20, 2012Inglewood, CASpring/summer meet ends with slight atten-dance, handle declines

Although Betfair Holly-wood Park finished its 50-day Spring/Summer meet July 15 with slight drops in attendance and all sources handle, track president Jack Liebau was generally heartened with the results, considering problems facing the industry, particularly the ready-to-run horse inven-tory and high rate of unem-ployment in California.

The average daily on track attendance was down 9/10ths of a percent from the corre-sponding 54-day meet in 2011.

Bolstered by increased advance deposit wagering, the daily average Southern California handle of $4,773,009 was up 2/10ths of a percent from the average of $4,763,002 during the 2011 season.

A wagering decrease outside the state on Betfair Hollywood Park races caused the all sources average handle to decline 2% - $9,064,114 in 2012 compared to $9,251,001 a year earlier.

The average field size of 7.48 horses per race was 2.6% less than the 2011 Spring/Sum-mer meet.

“Considering our expecta-tions going into the meet, I thought, relatively speaking, we did very well,’’ said Liebau.

Introduced by Holly-

wood Park at the start of the 2011 Spring/Summer season, the Players’ Pick 5, a 50 cent minimum bet with a California low takeout rate of 14%, saw its average handle increase by 14.6% in 2012. The wager, which is offered on the first five races daily, had an aver-age daily handle of more than $230,000.

“The wagering public con-tinued to respond well to the lower takeout of the Players’ Pick 5,’’ said Liebau.

Betfair Hollywood Park will open its 2012 Autumn meet Thursday, Nov. 8. The season will continue through Sunday, Dec. 16.

JULY 18, 2012Altoona, IAJockey Tad Leggett, Chaplain Dennis Luft join Prairie Meadows Hall of Fame on Aug. 3

American Quarter Horse jockey Tad Leggett and Chap-lain Dennis Luft have been selected to enter this year’s Prairie Meadows Hall of Fame on Friday, Aug. 3.

Tad Leggett began riding at Prairie Meadows in 1989 during the track’s inaugural year. Though he also rode Thoroughbreds here, Leggett was primarily noted for his success in the Quarter Horse standings while leading those boards from 1997-2001, and again in 2007. With 438 wins overall here, Leggett is Prairie Meadows’ overall leading Quarter Horse rider in front of Tom Wellington, in second place with 406 wins. Among Leggett’s 27 Quarter Horse stakes wins at Prairie Meadows, he scored multiple victories in the John Deere Central Distaff Challenge, John Deere Juvenile Central Chal-lenge, Grade III Altoona Derby, Iowa Double Gold Derby, Iowa


Double Gold Futurity, Jim Bader Memorial Futurity, Polk County Derby, and Terrace Hill Stakes.

In his national career of 8,784 starts, Leggett earned 33,364 points and purse earn-ings totaling $13,438,821 to currently place him 19th on the list of all-time leading American Quarter Horse riders. Beginning his career in 1987 at his hometown track in Broken Bow, Nebraska, Leggett would venture to Prairie Meadows, Remington Park, Ruidoso, and Sunland Park among others to record 1432 wins in his career that include eight Grade 1 victories in 131 stakes wins. Leggett was the American Quarter Horse Association’s Central High Point Jockey in 2005, 2008 and 2009. He was second in the Central High Point Jockey category in 2003, 2004, 2006, and he was third in the Central High Point Jockey category in 2007.

His most notable wins on the national level include the 2002 Texas Classic Futurity (Capones Vault); 2010 Reming-ton Park Invitational Champi-onship (Jess You and I); and the AQHA Distaff Challenge Championship (2008, Snow Burn; 2001 Fast for Money). He placed second in the Grade 3 All-American Congress Futurity

(1997). (National statistics, cour-tesy of American Quarter Horse Association.)

Tad Leggett resides in Bandera, Texas, with his wife, Tina, and their sons Travis and Trevor. A daughter, Tiffany Leggett, works in the racing program at Canterbury Park, located in Shakopee, Minn.

Also on Aug. 3, Prairie Meadows will welcome Chap-lain Dennis Luft to the Hall of Fame in recognition of his benevolent, spiritual ministry over the past 12 years to those individuals in the racing indus-try working in the backside horse stables. As part of his spiritual ministry, Chaplain Luft offers the daily morning prayer, fellowships with workers in the horse stables, holds prayer services with the jockeys each race day, and offers blessings on the horses each day prior to the races. In addition, he holds Sunday church liturgy service and coaches life skills. Dennis Luft is married to Sarah Luft. The couple has four sons Mat-thew Luft, O.S.B; Tom (Heather) Luft; James Luft; Peter (Kim-berly) Luft; two daughters Mary Beth (Jeff) Chandler and Michelle Ball; and 10 grandchil-dren Phillip, Katie, Samantha, and Sarah Chandler; London and Alex Ball; and Abbie, Ethan, Elijah and Izzie Luft.

JULY 17, 2012Chicago, ILArt With Heart: Sale of oil painting depicting Santa Anita to benefit Permanently Disabled Jockey Fund

Collectors of horse racing art should be jockeying for position to buy an original oil painting currently on display in a Santa Fe, N.M., gallery. All proceeds from the sale of the painting, which portrays thoroughbreds exercising at the famed Santa Anita Park in California, will benefit the Permanently Disabled Jockeys Fund (PDJF).

The work, titled “Morn-ing Exercise—Santa Anita,” is by award-winning fine artist, Terri Kelly Moyers. It is part of

a collection of work on display from Aug. 11 through Sept. 1, at Nedra Matteucci Galleries, 1075 Paseo de Peralta, in Santa Fe. The oil on canvas measures 24” x 30” and carries a set price of $22,000. It may be viewed at the gallery or on its website.

Born in 1953 in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, Moyers stud-ied at The Alberta College of Art. A resident of Santa Fe, she is best known for her Western-themed compositions. In 1996 she won the Frederic Reming-ton Painting Award at the Prix de West show at the National Cowboy Hall of Fame in Okla-homa City. In 2004 Moyers was named Artist of the Year by the Tucson Museum of Art.

“As a New Mexico native, I’m very familiar with Terri’s paintings and am a huge fan,” said Hall of Fame jockey Mike

Smith. “This particular painting captures the essence of morn-ing works at Santa Anita, the power and grace of the horses and riders. It is something art collectors and racing lovers alike would be proud to own knowing all proceeds of the sale benefit disabled riders.”

“This is a unique and exciting fundraiser for us,” said PDJF Executive Director Nancy LaSala. “We’re grateful to Terri and the Nedra Matteucci Galleries of Santa Fe, N.M., for donating the proceeds of the sale of this beautiful paint-ing to our organization. Their kindness will help us continue to provide assistance to more than 60 former jockeys who live with catastrophic injuries.”

Interested buyers must complete the Intent to Pur-chase form which must be received by the gallery no later than 3 p.m. (ET) on Aug. 27. Forms may be submitted by postal mail, email ([email protected]), or FAX (505-984-0199). Sale will be deter-mined by random drawing. Winner will make payment of $22,000 directly to the PDJF. For full details please visit www.matteucci.com or www.pdjf.org.

The PDJF is a 501(c)(3) charity that provides financial assistance to former jockeys who have suffered catastrophic on-track injuries. Founded in 2006, PDJF has disbursed more than $3 million to permanently disabled jockeys, most of whom have sustained paralysis or brain injuries. The fund is a cooperative effort among race tracks, jockeys, horsemen and enthusiasts.

JULY 7, 2012Farmington, NMSunRay Park’s 42-day meet ended June 26

SunRay Park in Farmington ended its 42-day meet with a nine-race program on Tuesday, June 26.

SunRay’s closing-day card featured the $90,000 San Juan County Commissioners Handicap, the meet’s richest race for open Thoroughbreds. Parnell Thomas’ Forest Mouse, a Kentucky-bred 4-year-old colt by the Forestry stallion Teton Forest, won the 1 1/8-mile race for his second career stakes victory at the track. Last year, Forest Mouse scored a three-length victory in the

1-mile, $50,000 SunRay Park and Casino Handicap.

According to statistics compiled from Equibase charts, SunRay Park drew total on-track attendance of 46,368 fans – an average of 1,104 per day – including a season-high crowd of 4,662 on Kentucky Derby Day, May 5.

Also, a total of $4,585,299 was wagered on SunRay’s live racing – $787,089 on track and $3,798,210 off track. On-track handle averaged $18,740 per day, while off-track wagering averaged $90,434 per day.

The largest off-track wagering activity on SunRay Park’s live races took place on Tuesdays, as 35 percent of the track’s off-track handle was bet that day. The average off-track handle on Tuesdays was $134,073, including a season-high $173,323 on May 1.

Starting May 8, SunRay cut its daily races from 11 to nine for the remainder of the meet. The adjustment to the racing schedule was due to the pres-ence of the nearby Northern Edge Casino on the Navajo reservation, which opened for business in January and had a negative effect on business at SunRay’s casino.

“We kept field sizes up, and even with cutting the number of races we kept purses up in the long run,” said SunRay director of racing Lon-nie Barber. “That was a positive for everyone involved.”

Total purses during the meet averaged $131,000 per day.

Justin Evans was SunRay’s leading Thoroughbred trainer for the second consecutive season. Evans won 36 races from 156 starts, six more than runner-up Henry Dominguez. Evans won the same number of races, but from 125 starters, when he won the track’s train-ing title in 2011.

“It’s been the same the last two years,” Evans said. “A lot of the credit goes to Tom and Sandy McKenna of McKenna Thoroughbreds. They let me bring a nice bunch of horses up here, both New Mexico-breds and open, and they let me run them where they could win.

“We also won a lot of races for Dreammakers Unlimited,” he added. “We brought some better horses, and it paid off this year.”

Ry Eikleberry was SunRay’s leading Thoroughbred jockey with 42 wins in 225 mounts, two more than runner-up Alfredo Juarez Jr.

Dreammakers Unlimited LLP led all Thoroughbred own-ers with seven wins from 22 starters, ,two more than run-ners-up Judge Lanier Racing and J. Kirk and Judy Robison. Residents of El Paso, Texas, the Robisons were the meet’s lead-ing owners in purses, as their 24 starters banked $102,269.

Roberto Sanchez won SunRay Park’s Quarter Horse training title.

Macario Rodriguez was SunRay’s leading overall jock-ey, while Esgar Ramirez topped the meet’s Quarter Horse rider standings. Ry Eikleberry was SunRay’s leading Thorough-bred jockey with 42 wins in 225 mounts, two more than runner-up Alfredo Juarez Jr.

Santa Fe Horse Racing by Carrillos LLC was the meet’s leading overall owner and Quarter Horse owner. Dream-makers Unlimited LLP led all Thoroughbred owners with seven wins from 22 starters, ,two more than runners-up Judge Lanier Racing and J. Kirk and Judy Robison. Residents of El Paso, Texas, the Robisons were the meet’s leading Thor-oughbred owners in purses, as their 24 starters banked $102,269.

JULY 29, 2012Del Mar, CAAmazombie wins Bing Crosby Stakes

Amazombie, the classy six-year-old California-bred gelding, showed again why he was America’s champion sprinter of 2011 with a scintil-lating victory Sunday in the featured Grade I $300,000 Bing Crosby Stakes.

Given a perfect stalk-ing trip by his regular rider, Mike Smith, Amazombie, the second choice at 9-5, rallied to the lead in deep stretch and drew out to win by 1 ¼ lengths in a sparkling 1:08.65, fastest six furlongs of the meeting over Del Mar’s Poly-track surface.

Amazombie, co-owned by Tom Sanford and trainer Bill Spawr, broke alertly from his inside post position, settled into third behind dueling lead-ers The Factor and Comma to the Top down the backstretch, came out to launch his move into the stretch and was a convincing winner.

The Factor, the even-mon-ey favorite, was second, a head in front of stablemate Capital Account, with Comma to the Top fourth and Don Tito fi fth and last in the small fi eld.

Amazombie, a son of Northern Afl eet, was third in the Bing Crosby a year ago behind Euroears before taking the Ancient Title at Santa Anita and then the Breeders’ Cup Sprint to clinch the Eclipse Award. Tentative plans call for the horse to follow the same schedule this year.

Victory in the Crosby Stakes Sunday was Amazom-bie’s 12th in 27 lifetime starts and fi rst money increased his earnings to $1,905,378. He returned $5.80, $2.60 and $2.10. The Factor, Del Mar’s

2011 Sprinter of the Meeting after winning the Pat O’Brien Stakes, paid $2.40 and $2.10, while Capital Account, like The Factor trained by Bob Baff ert, paid $2.20 to show.

JULY 28, 2012Los Alamitos Race Course, Cypress, CANo surprises in major California Breeders Stakes

Surprises were not to be found in the major stakes during California Champions Night on Saturday at Los Alamitos when 22-10 favorite Secretly Hot won the $380,000 Governors Cup Futurity, 3-5

favorite Terrifi c Synergy took the $217,500 Governor’s Cup Derby and 5-2 second-choice Twelve Stepper defeated favored Creston Goer in the $100,000 Spencer Childers California Breeders Champion-ship.

All of the races on the stakes-dominated card were for California-breds.

Gildardo Garcia’s Secretly Hot got to the lead in the fi nal jump of the Governor’s Cup Fu-turity to get the narrow win in a three-horse photo over Beg Stel Or Borrow and remember-ing Spence. Just a pair of noses separated those three horses.

Secretly Hot won her maiden for trainer Francisco Ranirez in her second career start and then stepped up with a one-half length win in her Governor’s Cup Futurity trial in a quick :17.665.

Double Bar S Ranch’s Beg Stel Or Borrow, trained by Joe Bassett, fi nish a very close sec-ond and is still a maiden after four starts. The Stel Corona fi lly was a close third in her Ed Burke Million trial and second in her Governor’s Cup Futurity trial.

Francisco Guzman’s Remembering Spence won the Ed Burke Juvenile and has raced to top-three fi nishes in each of her fi ve starts for trainer Juan Aleman. The Tr Dasher daughter has two wins and was second behind Secretly Hot in their Governor’s Cup Futurity trial.

The most impressive performance of the evening came from Billy Smith and Pat Guthrie’s Terrifi c Synergy in the Governor’s Cup Derby. As expected, the FDD Dynasty gelding ran away from his rivals to win by one-and-three-quarter lengths.

He covered the distance in :19.489 with G.R. Carter Jr. up for trainer Cody Joiner.

Ima Chickie Two fi nished second by a head over Kindly Fellow.

Terrifi c Synergy was a force as a juvenile when he was the only horse to qualify for the Ed Burke Million, Golden State Million and the Los Alamitos Two Million. After a layoff since the Los Alamitos Two Million in December, he made a most im-pressive return to racing in his Governor’s Cup Derby trial. He won by more than two lengths with the fastest-qualifying time of :19.584.

The top-two favorites battled in the Spencer Childers California Breeders Champi-onship with Juan Jumberto Moya’s Twelve Stepper gaining the nose decision over Salva-dor Veliz’s Creston Goer.

Gregorio Arriago was aboard for the win in :19.687 for the 400 yards.

Muller Racing’s Shining First Dash was more than one-length behind in third.

claiming company and he was second in the Independence Day Handicap in his previous start.

Salvador Veliz’s Creston Goer, winner of fi ve races from 11 starts, earned favoritism after winning the Kaweah Bar Handicap in his previous start back in April. He also won a conditioned allowance race in February and is now three-for-three this year.

Creston Goer was ridden by Cruz Mendez.

In the $50,000 California Breeders Matron Stakes for distaff ers at 400 yards, Steve Burns’ homebred Enjoy The Walk scored the upset at nearly 10-1 odds with a one-half

length win over 16-1 outsider Sheza Shy Shahayla.

Getit Together was just a nose back for third.

The Saul Ramirez Jr. pi-loted Enjoy The Walk raced the 400-yards in :19.970 for trainer Michael Casselman.

A Walk Thru Fire daugh-ter, Enjoy The Walk raced to a third-place fi nish in the 2011 La Primera Del Ano Derby, but was off the board in the Southern California Derby and the Charger Bar Handicap this winter before making her return in the Matron Stakes.

There was a host of sup-porting minor stakes with $25,000 purses on the Califor-nia Champions Night program.

The Cooper-trained Ron-sepi was timed in :17.667 with Cruz Mendez aboard.

Ronsepi, a gelding by Separatist, has been on the board in seven of eight starts with four wins.

In the California Breeders Freshman Stakes at 350 yards, Rosario Jimenez’s favored Mama Mia Bella raced to her second-straight win with a :17.737 time in a very tight fi nish. Rodrigo Aceves was the jockey.

Bullet In the Gun was a nose behind and it was an-other nose to Got No Secrets.

Mama Mia Bella, a daugh-ter of Royaltys Choice, was the fourth-place fi nisher in the $268,000 Kindergarten before winning her maiden in her previous start.

In the California Debu-tante Stakes for three-year-old fi llies, EG High Desert Farms’ homebred Letty Bail Regis Out pulled away to a one-half length win over Tac It To Heart while Tac Out fi nished third.

Eduardo Nicasio rode Letty Bail Regis Out to the win in :17.509 for 350 yards.

Letty Bail Regis Out raced to her fourth-straight win and

fi rst stakes win. She won her maiden for a $4,000-claiming tag and took a conditioned $8,000-claiming race in her previous start for trainer Fran-cisco Vallejo.

In the California Breeders Freshman Fillies Stakes, Kolleen Ledgerwood’s favored Buy Buy went to the lead and went on to win by three quarters of a length as the 9-5 favorite. Qui-eros Dynasty was second and Chick On First fi nished third.

Canterbury Park, Shakopee, MNHammers Terror wins inagural Mystic Lake Derby

The inaugural running of the Mystic Lake Derby was not without controversy as Ham-mers Terror and local jockey Lori Keith withstood a steward’s inquiry and jockey’s claimof foul to win Minnesota’s larg-est race since the 1991 Min-nesota Derby. Hammers Terror, owned by Terry Hamilton of Lethbridge, Alberta and trained by Michael Stidham, secured a front-running position under Keith and was able to dictate the pace throughout therace. Delegation, shipping in from Woodbine along with Ham-mers Terror, stuck just to the front-runner’s fl ank throughout but was unable to gain ground throughout the stretch. The dramatic fi nish was witnessed by 10,127 race fans.

About 50 yards in front of the wire, Hammers Terror veered out abruptly in front of Delegation and jockey Jer-maine Bridgmohan. However, following a stewards’ inquiry and a jockey’s claimof foul, no change was made to the order

of fi nish as it was ruled that the incident did not cost Delega-tion a better placing.

Hammers Terror was al-lowed to dictate the terms, running the opening quarter mile in 24.32 seconds and completing the half in 49.38 seconds. He completed the mile over the fi rm turf coursein 1:37.18, securing the victory by one length.

The win was the second six-fi gure purse captured by Hammers Terror this summer; he previously won the $103,000 Charlie Barley Stakes in June at Woodbine.

The win was a homecom-ing of sorts for the connections. Trainer Michael Stidham has trained horses in Shakopee multiple times throughout the years. Most recently, he campaigned a small stringat Canterbury Park in 2007. Owner Terry Hamilton has also sent runners to Minnesota over the years, having last shipped a stable to Canterbury in 2010. Following the victory, owner Terry Hamilton was ecstatic.

“The agreement between Mystic Lake and Canterbury Park is great for racing in Min-nesota,” Hamilton said. “I plan to bring horses back to Minnesota – all diff erent types. This is what it’sall about.”

Buy Buy


R A C E R E C A P SJockey Lori Keith, cur-

rently third in Canterbury’s rider standings, was equally excited following the biggest victory of her career but wasn’t certain she would survive the inquiry and objection.

“I’m not sure what [Ham-mers Terror] reacted to at the wire. I knew that they were go-ing to take a long look at it due to how dramatic it appeared. He’s a great horse, easy to ride, and onceI knew they were going to keep my number up, I was thrilled.” Keith said.

With a total purse of $161,250, the Mystic Lake Derby was the richest race run at Canterbury Park since it re-opened under new manage-ment in 1995 and the largest purse in Minnesota racingsince the 1991 Minnesota Derby (pre-viously named the St. Paul Der-by) was contested for $250,000. Hammers Terror, a 3-year-old colt bred in Kentucky by Chad Austin Reed, earned $96,750 for the victory pushing his lifetime earnings to $261,053.

Hammers Terror was sent to post as the fourth wager-ing choice and returned $9.00. Delegation returned $4.60 place and Take Heart, a local hopeful from the barn of Mac Robertson, returned$4.60 to show. Gung Ho, sent off as the 9/5 favorite, fi nished last.

The Mystic Lake Derby was the fi rst signifi cant co-promo-tional event since the historic

$83.5 million cooperative marketing and purse enhance-ment agreement was reached on June 6 between Canterbury Park and the Shakopee Mde-wakanton Sioux Community which owns and operates Mys-tic Lake Casino Hotel. The Mystic Lake Purse Enhancement Fund contributed$100,000 to the purse of the Mystic Lake Derby.

On a whole, purses this season increased by 35 percent at Canterbury Park since the

agreement was approved by the Minnesota Racing Commis-sion and will more than double when the purse enhancement-sare fully implemented over the next decade.

“The inaugural Mystic Lake Derby was a tremendous success and is an excellent example of what this coopera-tive agreement will do for rac-ing,” Canterbury Park President Randy Sampson said.“This is the most signifi cant race in Min-nesota in over two decades and we anticipate it will continue to improve over time. I would like to congratulate the connections on the victory; we look forward to seeing more great races like this over the coming decade.”

Earlier in the afternoon, the leadership of the Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Commu-nity, the Canterbury Park Board of Directors and invited guests unveiled the Mystic Lake Derby trophy whichwill be housed permanently at the Shakopee race track. The unveiling was preceded by presentations from local dignitaries and elected offi cials.

Mystic Lake Casino Hotel and Canterbury Park are lo-cated less than four miles from one another along Canterbury Road/Mystic Lake Drive in Scott County in the southwest corner of the TwinCities metropolitan area.

S. “Shine” Young Memorial Futurity for Louisiana Bred 2-year-olds at Evangeline Downs Racetrack & Casino on Saturday evening, July 28.

JULY 27, 2012Del Mar, CARichard’s Kid romps in Cougar II ’Cap

Zabeel Racing Internation-al’s seven-year-old Richard’s Kid, two-time winner of Del Mar’s signature race of the summer season, the $1 million Pacifi c Classic in 2009 and 2010, but winless in two tries to win the Cougar II Handicap, recti-fi ed that situation Friday with an impressive triumph in the mile and one-half marathon.

Patiently handled by jock-ey Rafael Bejarano, Richard’s Kid, carrying highweight of 123 pounds as the overwhelming 2-5 favorite, loped along in fi fth place during the early stages of the lengthy contest, was swung out for room turning into the stretch the fi nal time and pow-ered away easily to win by 1 ½ lengths.

His time of 2:29.22 for the 12 furlongs bettered the track record of 2:29.39 set by Bour-bon Bay in his Cougar II victory a year ago.

Longshot Worth Repeat-

ing, 12-1 under Mike Smith, held on well to be second, 3 ¾ lengths ahead of Balladry, with Dynamic Host fourth in the fi eld of six horses.

Fly Lexis Fly, a highly-regarded three-year-old sent to the gate the second choice at 5-2 under Garrett Gomez, raced prominently before faltering in the upper stretch to be fi fth in his American debut.

Richard’s Kid, a son of Lemon Drop Kid conditioned by Bob Baff ert, was second in the ’09 Cougar II behind Unusual Suspect and third to Temple City a year later. He came back after both defeats to win the Pacifi c Classic in his next start.

The brown horse had fi ve races without success in the United Arab Emirates in 2011 and early this year before being returned to the Baff ert barn. He won the Prove It at Betfair Hollywood Park June 12 and then was second to stablemate Game on Dude in the Holly-wood Gold Cup July 7.

Baff ert said later that Rich-ard’s Kid now will be pointed to the TVG Pacifi c Classic sched-uled for Sunday, August 26 in an attempt to become the fi rst horse to win the Grade 1-1/4 mile stakes three times.

Richard’s Kid rewarded his backers Friday with an across-the-board payoff of $2.80, $2.40 and $2.10. There was a minus show pool of $39,169 on the winner.

Worth Repeating paid $6 and $3.80, while Balladry returned $4.40 to show.

The victory was Richard’s Kid’s eleventh in 35 starts and fi rst money of $60,000 increased his lifetime earnings to the brink of the $2 million mark, at $1,986,385.

Rail Trip wins San Diego ’Cap

Jay Em Ess Stable’s seven-year-old Rail Trip, winless for two years and eight starts since capturing The Californian at Hollywood Park in June of 2010, returned to glory Satur-day with a hard-fought victory in the featured $200,000 San Diego Handicap.

Ridden by Jose Valdivia, Jr., for trainer Ron Ellis, Rail Trip stalked leader John Scott from the start of the mile and one-sixteenth, closely following a slow pace of :25.13 and :49.98.

Turning into the stretch, Rail Trip edged into a narrow advantage over a stubborn John Scott, gradually expand-ing the margin to a half-length

Richard’s Kid

at the wire in 1:43.14, with a fi nal sixteenth in less than six seconds. John Scott, the lukewarm 3-1 favorite under Victor Espinoza, held second by a half-length over 3-1 Kettle Corn, with Take Control a rally-ing fourth from last in the fi eld of seven older horses.

The San Diego Handicap is a “Win and You’re In” race quali-fying the winner for a berth in the Breeders’ Cup Dirt Mile division in the championship series of races at Santa Anita in early November.

Rail Trip, a gelded son of Jump Start, went postward the fi fth choice in the wagering at 9-2 and paid $11.20, $5.60 and $3.80 after scoring his ninth win in 20 career outings. First prize of $120,000 jumped his bankroll to $1,253,790. The most important triumph of his career was scored in the 2009 Hollywood Gold Cup under Valdivia. Later that summer, he was third to Richard’s Kid in the Pacifi c Classic.

Sent to the East coast in the fall of 2010, the speedster was winless in fi ve starts, fi nally being returned to Ellis’ barn at Hollywood Park in December of last year. In two starts at Hollywood Park this year, he was fourth in the Los Angeles Handicap and second, beaten a

half-length by John Scott, in an allowance race. June 28.

With his San Diego suc-cess, Rail Trip becomes a con-tender for the $1 million TVG Pacifi c Classic which will be presented Sunday, August 26.

In the day’s supporting feature, the $200,000 Fleet Treat Stakes for California-bred three-year-old fi llies, Cory Wagner’s Starlight Magic scored by a half-length over 11-1 outsider War-ren’s Amber, with 3-2 favored Willa B Awesome a well-beaten third in the fi eld of eight.

Starlight Magic, a daughter of Marino Marini trained by Mark Glatt, provided jockey Rafael Bejarano with his sixth stakes success of the young meeting. The record for most stakes wins in a season is 12 shared by Laffi t Pincay, Jr., Chris McCarron, Gary Stevens and Corey Nakatani.

Starlight Magic ran the seven furlongs in 1:23.57 and returned $8.40, $4.20 and $2.60 after her fourth victory in nine starts. First money of $110,000 increased her career earnings to $322,900.

Warren’s Amber, who was piloted by Mike Smith, paid $9.20 and $4.60, while Willa B Awesome returned $2.60 to show.

Prairie Meadows, Altoona, IAShadowbdancing pulls away in Prairie Meadows Handicap

Shadowbdancing and Hope For Today, the top-two choices in the fi ve-horse fi eld, raced as a team on the front end of the $100,000 Prairie Meadows Handicap before Shadowbdancing showed his superiority to draw and win the 1-1/4 mile test.

RNB Racing’s homebred Shadowbdancing, with Quincy Hamilton aboard, won by a convincing seven lengths as the 19-10 favorite in 2:03.41.

Lothenbach Stables’

homebred Hope For Today fi nished second by one-and-one-half lengths over Maggi Moss’ It Happened Again in the fi ve-horse fi eld.

Shadowbdancing earned his favoritism after showing remarkably consistent form against stakes company. The seven-year-old son of Mont-brook has won or placed six times in his latest 11 starts, all against stakes company.

The Terrel Gore-trained Shadowbdancing won the Mountaineer Mile back in November and took the James Rasmussen Stakes two starts ago at Prairie Meadows. He was fourth in the Cornhusker Handicap in his previous start,

$60,000 and that made him a millionaire with earnings of $1,000,147 with 15 wins from 40 career starts.

Hope For Today tested Shadowbdancing for the fi rst six furlongs of the Prairie Mead-ows Handicap, but could not handle Shadowbdancing’s clos-ing charge. Hope For Today was taking a step up in class after a gate-to-wire win in an optional-claiming race in his previous start for trainer Chris Block.

Retama Park, Selma, TXKool Country Man wins second division of Garlyn Shelton Stakes

Alfonso Lujan rode Kool Country Man to a neck victory in the second division of the $39,000 Garlyn Shelton GMC Truck Stakes (RG3), the rich-est of the four offi cial stakes for Texas-breds contested at Retama Park on Friday.

Saddled by Jonathan Cas-taneda for owner Jose Socorro Vera Jr., Kool Country Man covered 400 yards in :19.920 and earned a 101 speed index. The winner’s share of the purse increased the 4-year-old geld-ing’s bankroll to $121,686, of

which $75,135 has been earned this year.

Kool Country Man was bred by Ramiro Lopez and Bob Gaston. The gelding’s sire, Grade 1 winner Country Chicks Man, was the AQHA champion aged stallion in 2006. His top runners include 2011 Black Gold Futurity Championship (RG3) winner Sumokin and 2010 Heritage Place Futurity (Grade 1) runner-up Knuckles O Toole.

Country Chicks Man is owned by Rafter SM Ranch, and he stands for a $3,000 fee at Bob Moore Farms in Norman, Oklahoma.

Kool Country Man’s dam, First Kool Baby, is an 11-year-old graded stakes winning daughter of all-time leading sire First Down Dash. The geld-ing’s second dam, Kool Kue Baby, was the AQHA champion aged mare in 1996 and ‘98.

Campaigned in Texas and Louisiana, Kool Country Man has won six of 21 starts, includ-ing the April 14, $100,620 Bank of America Sam Houston Cham-pionship Challenge (G2) at odds of 24-1. His season record includes a second-place fi nish to Charal Kid in the Grade 3, $25,900 Develop A Plan Stakes at Delta Downs on May 25.

The 6-year-old gelding by the late Streakin La Jolla earned a 104 speed index, and his mar-gin of victory was three-quar-ters of a length from multiple graded stakes winner Acorn.

A homebred, Charal Kid has won 17 of 43 races – including and has banked $424,069. His sire, Streakin La Jolla, was unde-feated in his eight career starts from 1987-88. Streakin La Jolla’s runners have earned more than $22.2 million and include ‘02 co-world champion Streakin Sin Tacha. The stallion died of heart failure in September 2009.

Charal Kid’s dam, The Special Feature, is a 14-year-old winning daughter of the Special Eff ort stallion Strawfl y Special. The gelding’s second

dam, the Truckle Feature mare Good Features, was stakes placed at Los Alamitos in ‘81.

Executive Tone was bred by Gus Barakis’ Scarlett Hill Farm Inc. at Weatherford, Texas. Her sire, the winning 11-year-old Chicks Beduino stallion Execu-tive Menace, ran third behind winner Hadtobenuts and AQHA champion Fredricksburg in the 2004 Harrah’s Entertainment

Racing exclusively in Texas, Executive Tone has won eight of 18 races – including the second division of last year’s 110-yard, $15,000 Texas Twister Stakes at Sam Houston Race Park – and the winner’s share of the TQHA Stakes purse boosted her bankroll to $67,517.
