“Her maiden win just blew me away and I felt that if she ranthat race again she’d win,” said Mitchell. “And she did. I wasn’t concerned (about fast early fractions) because I’d seen her runthe last time. I think she’ll run like this on the dirt. I don’t think

she’s a synthetic specialist or anything like that. So we’ll take herto Santa Anita and we’ll find a nice race for her."

Interested in learning about Genetic markers and profiling in Thoroughbredracing and breeding?

This relatively new science shows there are well-documented genetic markers which the great race horses have in common. Genetic profiling can tell froma hair sample, collected from any Thoroughbred horse, how many of these markers(alleles) your racing prospect has in common with the �”Greats.” Historically thisinformation has only been available to extremely wealthy and powerful players in our sport.

The Northern California Equine Association (NCEA) wants to lift the veil of mystery offthis subject. We are honored to have as our guest lecturer for September, Dr. StevenTammariello. Dr. Tammariello is an Associate Professor of Molecular Genetics and theDirector of the Institute for Equine Genomics at Binghamton University in New York, andthe owner of Thorough Gen LLC, a New York-based equine genomics company. Dr. Tammariello has extensive research experience in molecular physiology, proteomics andgenomics and has published papers in scientific journals including The Journal of

Neuroscience, the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of theUnited States of America, and Cellular Immunology. He has been the recipient ofmultiple grants from the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the National ScienceFoundation (NSF) and the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). Hisresearch lab is currently studying the genetics of athleticism in horses andhumans, and the role of oxidative stress in human neurodegenerative disease.

Please join us on Saturday, September 14, at Golden Gate Fields for an informative discus-sion where Dr. Tammariello will illuminate the possibilities this new science has to offer andalso answer all your questions. The meeting will start at 9:30 am in the Bay View Loungewith a one hour presentation by Dr. Tammariello, followedby a Q&A forum Come early andbring an open mind. There will be a $10/head fee at the door to cover the cost ofrentingthe room and flying Dr. Tammariello out to California. Please send a reply if you intend to attend so we can besure to have enough seating for the group. Please contact the NCEAat info@norcalequine.org OR http://www.norcalequine.org/

Nestled in rollinghills adjacent to thehorse-related commu-nity of SantaTheresita, you willfind one of the oldestand most beautifulhomages to the Thor-oughbred in this state,California Thorough-bred Ranch.

Now in its fourthdecade of operation,the ranch was builtfrom the ground up byJack and Susie Farmerwho still own thebeautiful facility andlive right on the premises. Once an abandoned alfalfafield, the ranch is a striking portrayal of early Californiaarchitecture, right down to the adobe and mission-styleconstruction of the barns and office complex.

The main barn contains stalls for 40 horses intraining and the foaling barn comes equipped withclosed circuit television monitors that are linked up tothe farm manager’s office and residence 24 hours a day.Newborns are kept in stalls with their dams for the first36 hours of life and monitored closely. After that, theyare moved outdoors to grassy paddocks and pastures.The region’s temperate climate allows for horses to liveoutdoors year-round, and the ranch’s pastures rangefrom two acres to almost 50 and follow the contours ofthe foothills.

To date, more than 200 stakes winners have beenfoaled and raised on the ranch’s green fields. Others,like last year’s Eclipse champion juvenile colt ValidPoint, were brought to the ranch as yearlings for break-ing and schooling. California Thoroughbred Ranchalso has an excellent reputation as a training center. It

offers five round pens,an indoor ridingarena and a scenicuphill gallop thatwinds its way throughthe facility. There arealso two treadmillsand a swimming pool,where lay-ups canregain their condi-tioning without riskof further injury.

The ranch is hometo two of California’sfinest stallions. SuperDad is the sire of 22graded stakes winnersand countless other

stakes performers. His champion daughter Daddy’s LittleGal captured last year’s Cal Cup Juvenile Fillies and thisyear’s grade I Santa Anita Oaks. Moneymaker was foaledat the ranch and now stands at stud here. This gradedstakes winner of nearly $400,000 has thrust himself intothe national spotlight when his son Hayburner capturedthis year’s Travers Stakes at Saratoga. Winner of theWood Memorial and second in both the Kentucky Derbyand Preakness Stakes, Hayburner now has earnings over$1 million. The Cal-bred is now pointing for theBreeders’ Cup Classic.

Farm manager Bob Trainer has more than 30 yearsof experience in this business and gives your horses thepersonal care and attention they deserve. Assistantmanager and yearling trainer Steve Winner also hasmany years of veterinary experience, although thefarm’s main vet lives just down the road and is on call24 hours a day, especially during the busy foaling sea-son. Visitors are welcome and encouraged to come andtour the facilities. Also visit their impressive website atwww.Califthoroughbredranch.com.

Retired Thoroughbred racehorses are trained for avariety of second jobs after their careers at the trackare over. Not many, though, find themselves crimefighters and peace officers on the streets of a big city.

Welcome to Chicago. While most police depart-ments use draft horses and crosses for their mountedpatrols, the Chicago PD has always preferredThoroughbreds, Quarter Horses, and mixes of the twobreeds. Leaders of the Chicago Mounted Patrolbelieve ex-racehorses often make an ideal transitionfrom the backstretch to the front lines of police work.

While in town for the Arlington Million, thePaulick Report’s Scott Jagow and Natalie Voss took aside trip to downtown Chicago and met the horses–and their human partners – who protect and serve theWindy City.—continued at www.paulickreport.com

REGION #2:

REGION #3:

Compared to last week: All classes of hay traded mostly steady. Many producers are beginning to store hay with hopes of the market becoming morefavorable. A high pressure system spread westward into California this week, resulting in a slight warming trend for the interior portions of the State.Region one saw bouts of heavy and localized rain. According to the US drought monitor 100 percent of the state is classified as being abnormally

dry to severe drought category and now 12 percent of the state is categorized as extreme to exceptional drought. According to USDA-NASS Californiaalfalfa production is projected to be down 4 percent and all other hay is down 20 percent from last year. However, nationally alfalfa production is forecasted to be up 15 percent from 2012 and all other hays are predicted to be up 18 percent from last year's numbers. Even with the dramaticincrease nationally it is still the second lowest hay production year since 1955.Range and non-irrigated pasture were reported in fair to very poor

condition. Range conditions continued to be very dry with little forage for cattle to feed. Some herds are reducing in response to the shortage of feed.Available water at lower elevations continued to decline. Fire danger remained extremely high across the State. Trade was slow on moderate to light

demand. All prices reported FOB at the stack or barn unless otherwise noted. Regions are defined at bottom of report.
