By Robert Geller

Rich Perloff grew up by Holly-wood Park in LA, going to the track with his father, taking to

the southern Californian tracks like a fi sh to water. No surprise that today he is one of the more established on-air presenters and racing analysts on the Television Games Network (TVG).

This multi-talented individual began with the network just more than a decade ago in late 2001 after having worn a variety of professional caps. His lawyer days may be behind him, but this University of Michigan graduate who had a practice in San Diego pre-sides today over Del Mar form instead.

Rich embraces the national scene in a fair-handed way and has become a fl ag-bearer for a number of racing circuits that might otherwise have been dismissed by non-regional viewers. His open nature and intelligent approach means that Rich values his audience, welcomes fan input and is not afraid to smarten them up. A well-rounded man whose creative life outside of racing embraces his thespian talents, Rich was more than happy to share some of his insights and personal refl ections.

You say TVG is the one job you didn’t specificly train for, a job you have now been in just over a decade. It is also true that prior to joining the network in 2001, you had been a racing enthusiast for 30 years. How easy was it to turn a passion into a career?

It was pretty easy, really. My extensive background as a racegoer, handicapper and horseplayer stood me in good stead. And, because I had a long background as a performing artist, the idea of being on a set and in front of a camera wasn’t foreign to me. Really, the only thing that con-cerned me going in was whether the idea of working in the horseracing industry would make it feel more like ... well, like work. Racing had always been a source of great pleasure and enjoyment for me, and I didn’t want to lose that. Fortunately, it was never an issue, and I’m happy to report that I love it as much as I ever did. More even.

The roles of on-air presenter and racing analyst seem to co-exist eff ortlessly for you, skills that not every talent can suc-cessfully balance. What are the secrets to developing such a comfortable mix?

I’ve always been pretty clear on the “division of labor” as between host (presenter) and analyst. When I’m in the host’s chair, I know that my primary obligation is to keep the show moving forward according to the producer’s “run-down,” or itinerary. As a host, I also have a responsibility to represent -- and speak for -- the less experienced handicappers in the audience, which is why I tend to ask so many handicapping questions when I’m hosting. When I’m sitting next to someone like Matt Carothers or Simon Bray or Tom Cassidy, I know that there’s a great opportunity to get some of their tremendous store of knowledge into the conversation. As I learn, I believe that the audience learns, too. As a race analyst, my task is simpler: I’m there to explain, as clearly as possible, why I like who I like in a given race. And hopefully along the way, I’m helping handicappers to expand their own repertoire of skills.

When you answer viewers’ e-mails on air as they come in, you are not afraid to agree or disagree with opinions expressed

and always come across as diplomatic. How personally challenging are these interactive segments?

The Monday and Tuesday shows are, without a doubt, the highlight of my work week. I feel very strongly connected to those racetracks, and to those viewers, many of whom have been e-mailing so regularly and for so long that I’ve come to feel as though I really do know them a little bit. The show used to have a slightly rougher edge; I mean, we actually used to call it “Zero Tolerance Tuesday.” I don’t think I go looking for a fi ght these days, but, by the same token, I absolutely refuse to scrub and sanitize the e-mails that express criticisms, or opinions that diff er from my own. I don’t have a “screener,” and I’m the only one who sees what comes in. Some of the stuff I get is pretty nasty, and that goes straight to the trash. I’m not about to provide a public forum for mean-spirited name-calling. But I see nothing the matter with a little lively debate, and people who watch the show on a regular basis know that I have no qualms what-soever about admitting when I’m wrong. Even at my advanced age, I’m trainable.

The theory that underlies the Mon-day/Tuesday shows is pretty simple. We’re all at the racetrack together, enjoying a day’s action. And, as happens at the track, you don’t talk about horses and races non-stop ... which is why I’m likely, at a mo-ment’s notice, to digress into a discussion

about movies, or music, or ... whatever. It’s pretty free-wheeling, but ... I absolutely insist on civil discourse. Debate is fine; at the end of the day, we’ll shake hands, and agree to meet tomorrow and do it all over again. But, if someone comes at me with something I fi nd off ensive, the chances are that they’re going to hear about it.

You grew up with southern Californian racing and have had the chance to travel to diff erent tracks across the country. The level of commitment you display toward the so-called smaller tracks appears equal to the bigger ones. How do you manage to stay so connected to such a broad spec-trum of racing product from the comfort of a TV studio?

Again, I’d say this is pretty much an outgrowth of the Monday/Tuesday experi-ence. Those are my tracks, and I’m very protective of them. Nobody else at TVG watches as much Parx, Suff olk, Will Rog-ers, Fairmount, Turf Paradise and Sunland as I do. Over the years, I’ve become very familiar with the nature of racing at those venues. I know the race conditions, I recognize the top human players, and I’ve gotten comfortable with the look and feel of the product.

Given your even-keeled personality it is hard to imagine anything fazing you. What would you describe as your most

C O V E R S T O R Y

panicked on-air moment and what would be your proudest?

Panic, huh? Well, here’s one. Every now and again, I’m dispatched to the racetrack to conduct pre- and post-race interviews. On one of my fi rst such “reporter” assignments, I launched into an interview, only to become totally fl us-tered because there was a fl urry of noisy activity around me in the paddock. I immedi-ately started saying, “Cut! Cut! Let’s start again!” And then hearing the producer in my earpiece saying: “Uh...Rich? This is live.” Oops.

Proudest moment? I think that would probably have to be the fall of 2008, when the Breeders’ Cup returned to Santa Anita for the fi rst of two consecutive years. TVG sent me to the track to be part of the Friday morning show, and I’ll never forget the scene. It was

a typically gorgeous fall day in Southern California. The track was all decked out in Breed-ers’ Cup purple bunting, the mountains were looming in the background, we were on the verge of Racing’s Great-est Day (two days, really) ... and I was a part of it. I was in front of a camera, off ering up my thoughts and analysis on Breeders’ Cup races. Beyond my wildest dreams, truly.You appear to relish the intel-lectual challenge of handicap-ping. I notice for example, that you pay considerable attention to the condition of a race. How would you describe your ap-proach to handicapping?

It’s the greatest puzzle ever invented ... and, as all horseplayers know, there is ab-solutely nothing that compares with the feeling you get when the race you see unfolding on the track is the same as the

one you saw in your mind’s eye while you were handicapping. Handicappers are in the busi-ness of predicting the future ... which ain’t easy. When you get it right, it’s a pretty powerful buzz.

There are as many ap-proaches to handicapping as there are handicappers, and they all have a certain degree of validity, which is to say that they’ll all work sometimes.

Even though I dabble in numbers and statistics to a certain degree -- it’s unavoid-able in this game -- I believe, as I have always believed, that handicapping is essentially a right-brain enterprise. I use facts and fi gures to get me to the place where my intuition can take over. Bottom line: rac-ing is a fl esh-and-blood game, and it can’t be solved solely through the application of mathematical formulas.

I talk a great deal about race conditions for a couple of reasons. One, I think that a lot of handicappers gloss over them; and, two, I’m convinced that this is where the handi-capping process has to begin. If you fully understand the type of race you’re dealing with, then you wade into the past performances with a solid understanding of what would constitute a perfect “fit” under those conditions. You’re actively looking for that horse. As with all quests for perfection, you don’t often fi nd exactly what you’re looking for, but keeping that ideal in mind gives you a clearer prism for assessing the horses you fi nd in any given fi eld.

What are two of your favorite handicapping angles?

Whichever one was suc-cessful for me most recently.

It’s a tough question for me, because I’ve got so many of them. The main thing to

note about “angles” is that all handicappers have them ... even the ones who maintain that they don’t. An angle is really nothing more than a col-lection of circumstances that we’ve noticed -- and capital-ized on -- in the past. When we see the pattern repeating, we know there’s utility in it. It’s just a shorthand way of describing something that has occurred to us over time and (often costly) experience.

I’ll describe a couple that I’m especially fond of. They’re relatively new weapons in my arsenal, as they were devised to deal with the sorts of races I watch on a daily basis at TVG.

1) The “Calendar” angle. I had never seen a “time-restrict-ed” claiming race until I started watching some of the smaller tracks on TVG. That’s when I realized how many racing secretaries were writing races of this nature, races for horses that are non-winners during a specifi ed period of time (six months, nine months, one year, etc.) The Calendar angle goes looking for a horse that won its most recent start prior to the cut-off date described in the condition. It’s a built-in class-drop angle, really; by defi nition, in such a race, that horse has been facing stiff er competition until the passage of time makes it eligible for the softer spot.

2) The “What’s Under the Hood?” angle (and I have to give credit to my old “Zero Tolerance Tuesday” partner, Randy Doerges, for coming up with the catchy name). This one can be especially valuable to players who feel up against it when confronting fi elds full of fi rst-time starters (FTS) in maiden races. We’re looking for a FTS with particularly fast works early in the work-tab, which then give way to longer,

slower drills. Once the trainer knows the horse possesses speed -- and has shown it in early workouts where, presumably, the horse wasn’t being “asked” for much -- he or she can set about the business of build-ing in stamina. It’s a little counter-intuitive -- players love to see those bullet drills just before a horse’s debut -- but, in the pari-mutuel universe, if you can zig when others are zagging, you’re going to be well compensated for your successes.

What do you believe are angles that fans tend to over-do that you prefer to shy away from?

I call them the dreaded “B-words,” Bounce and Bias. Let me be clear: I believe in both concepts, but I think that the great majority of handicappers are way too quick to assume that a racetrack is biased, or that a horse is going to “bounce” (regress) off its last race.

Generally speaking, a horse that has had ample time to recover after its most recent eff ort (however taxing or however closely contested) is not, in my opinion, likely to bounce. This is especially true if the horse has been back to the track for at least one published work since the race.

As for bias ... I will only assume that a track is biased if/when it produces an anomalous result; that is, a result that can only be explained by something to do with a quirk in the racing surface. Back-to-back wire-to-wire winners on the rail don’t necessarily suggest a bias ... if they were both horses with proven speed who fi gured for that kind of a trip. But, if a proven stopper gets to the lead/rail and just keeps on fi nding ... then, perhaps, we’re dealing with a biased racetrack. In my opinion, legitimate track biases -- the kind that radically aff ect race outcomes -- come around about as frequently as Halley’s Comet.

On-air, you often take time to educate the public on an aspect of racing that you feel strongly about – a jockey getting his mount to switch leads as a recent ex-ample. Where does the visual fit for you as a tool to handicapping as against say, the form or speed figures?

It’s not my strong suit, that’s for sure. After so many years of being around the game, I just have to admit that I’m never going to be the kind of handicapper that can make substantial adjustments -- pro

or con -- by looking at a horse’s appear-ance/demeanor on the racetrack. I do like to point out lead changes when I see them ... but, that’s probably just me con-gratulating myself for actually being able to spot lead changes. For about the fi rst 25 years of my race-watching career, I had no idea what a “lead change” was, or what it looked like.

Even though your schedule does vary, is it possible to estimate, on average, how much time you must devote to handicap-ping each week?

I’d estimate that, for every hour I spend on-air, I probably need to do two hours’ worth of handicapping. Nothing is worse for me than feeling unprepared when the camera is on. I don’t necessar-ily have to settle on a pick for every race, but I need to be familiar enough with the race condition and the various contenders to discuss the race intelligently. So, take an average Monday or Tuesday, where I’m on the air for four hours. I’ll probably do roughly eight hours of handicapping, either at home or in the newsroom, and I try to get into the building two solid hours before air time, just to review my notes, scan the various racing websites, and basi-cally just settle into the vibe of the place before we start.

What is your response to those who argue that the time between the Triple Crown races should be longer?

With all due respect -- and I certainly respect some of the people who have advocated for changes in the format -- I don’t think it should be changed at all. I don’t want the timing changed, and I don’t want the distances adjusted. When -- not if -- the next Triple Crown winner emerges, he -- or she -- needs to be able to stand proudly with the fi rst 11. If any-thing is done to essentially “manufacture” another Triple Crown winner, that horse’s accomplishment will, in my estimation, be tainted and cheapened.

Look, I’d like to see another pro baseball player hit .400 in my lifetime, too ... but that doesn’t mean we should start pitching underhand.

The notion that the future of US racing is anything but rosy is not one to which you subscribe. Why not?

Because gloom-and-doom just isn’t

my style, and it never will be. Call me Pollyanna, but I think racing is fi ne. It was around long before I was a gleam in my fa-ther’s eye, and it’ll be around long after I’m gone. Is it changing? Yes. Is it dying? No.

Does that mean that the status quo is absolutely peachy, and nothing needs to be amended? Absolutely not. Racing is the greatest game of all ... but it can always be improved. And it should be improved. But, I refuse to partner with the “glass half-empty” crowd that always seems to be lurking on the periphery of the sport. I think most of those folks are just cynics, and cynics give me a gigantic pain in the hindquarters. If you see a problem, then roll up your sleeves and become part of the solution. But, if all you’re doing is standing on the sidelines and throwing darts, so that maybe one day you can say “I told you so” ... to me, that’s not admirable.

What things do you consider key to at-tracting new fans?

Oh, there are so many things, and I believe that a lot of racetracks are already embracing them. Night and/or afternoon racing on weekdays has certainly made a diff erence on several circuits. Promo-tions are great, too -- giveaways, contests, and the like. Racing needs to puff out its chest a little bit, and let people know that a day at the races is an event. It’s a party, and there’s nothing else quite like it. And, it’s not just for the “newbies.” Long-time racetrackers need to be reminded of that from time to time as well.

You work at Emerald Downs, Robert, so you’ve seen some of this in action. Ev-ery time I visit that track, I’m struck by the number of young people in attendance, and, on the weekends, by the family atmo-sphere. Mom? Dad? Stuck for something fun to do on a warm Saturday afternoon? Pack up the kids and take ‘em racing.

Reducing track takeout is another im-portant concept, and I see more and more tracks testing these waters, what with the 50-cent Pick-5 in place at a number of venues.

If you had the power to change one aspect of our sport tomorrow, what would that be?

I think the single best adjustment the sport could make would be to organize a single, nationwide, strictly enforced policy with regard to the medications that race-

horses can receive. The lack of uniformity from one racing jurisdiction to another makes any number of things in the game problematic, but this one reaches to every corner of the sport. It leads to reduced confi dence among bettors, it taints the perception of the sport in the general public, and it impacts on the stoutness and soundness of the horses we’re breed-ing.

Have you ever owned or part-owned a racehorse and if so, how was the experi-ence?

About 15 years ago, I bought a tiny interest in a low-level claiming horse through one of the fi rst Internet owner-ship groups. “We” claimed him for $5,000 out of a race at Turf Paradise in March of 1996. His name was Mr. Baldini. I never saw him run in person, as he never came down to Southern California. But, on June 23, 1996, I stood in front of a television monitor in the clubhouse area of the simulcast facility at Los Alamitos, and I watched ‘Baldini’ romp home in a race at Stockton at 8-1. I was screaming like a fiend at the TV. My enthusiasm must have been contagious, because I soon had a few other folks yelling for him as well. And that was that. I cashed a bet, some-one sent me a copy of the winners’ circle photo ... and, before too much longer, I sold my interest. It just wasn’t the sort of charge I go looking for at the track. Some-day, I might try it again, but, to tell you the truth, it isn’t high on the “bucket list.”

Do you enjoy wagering yourself and if so, what is your favorite bet type?

Yes, I’m a player. But, I should add that I’m a player of modest means. I don’t bet large amounts of money. For me, the handicapping process is the attraction, not the dollars and cents. Solving the puzzle is what moves the meter for me. Betting is just how we keep score. Over the years, I’ve developed an affi nity for the “horizontal,” multi-race exotics, and most of my bankroll goes toward Pick-3 and Pick-4 wagers. Now that most venues off er the Pick-4 for a 50-cent base wager, that has become my favorite.

What does a relaxing, non-TVG race day look like for you?

My “weekend” is Wednesday/Thurs-day, and I’m sure it looks like most folks’

Saturday and Sunday. I’m usually at the gym early, then running errands in the late morning. If I’ve got a few hours free in the afternoon, you can generally fi nd me in a movie theater somewhere -- I’m an unapologetic movieholic -- and, in the afternoon-evening, I’m probably spending quality time with my son.

in America. I follow both basketball and football, but I much prefer the college game to the pro game in both instances. I used to be a very, very serious baseball fan, but ... not so much anymore. I still pay some attention, but generally don’t really get plugged into the season until around mid-summer. I guess the bottom line is that my favorite sports to watch anymore are whatever my son is playing at any given time.

Fans would love to hear about some of your experiences as an actor. What are some of your more memorable roles and are you active in film or theater today?

I spent a lot of years gallivanting around the U.S. playing Shakespeare; those were amazing times, and, to this day, my favorite roles have mostly come from the Classics. I had the opportunity to play both Iago (“Othello”) and the title role in “Richard II,” which are among the greatest roles ever written in the English language. I played Iago on a 10-month national tour back in the early ‘80s. we performed the show about 125 times, and, on clos-ing night, I was still discovering nuanc-es in the role that hadn’t occurred to me before. That’s why actors love Shakespeare: his major characters will accommodate everything you can bring to them, and yet leave you with the sense that you haven’t ever gotten to the bottom of it.

And yes, I still make time for one

or two theatrical projects every year, whether as actor or director. Last fall, I appeared as Inspector Truscott in an area production of Joe Orton’s play “Loot,” which has always been a favorite of mine. I’m not sure what’s on the menu for 2012, but never fear; if and when I line up a project, I’m not shy about promoting it on the air.

Who else in your family is into horserac-ing?

Nobody who’s still with us, alas. My father took me to the track for the fi rst time when I was 12 or 13, and for 30 years, until he passed away in 2002, it remained our most valued father-and-son activity. Whatever else was going on in our lives, we always had a great time at the races.

Robert Geller has been the one and only voice of Emer-ald Downs since the track’s inception in 1996 and has also been track an-nouncer at the highly successful Sunland Park Racetrack & Casino for over a decade. Prior to moving to the US, he served 6-1/2 years as the English com-mentator for the Royal Hong Kong Jockey Club and learned his craft in his hometown of Melbourne, Australia. His articles have appeared internationally in magazines such as Racetrack and Racing World.

By Martha Claussen

There are many exceptional veteri-narians who care for racehorses in the United States. Some have

received national media attention, most notably Dr. Dean Richardson, the equine surgeon at the University of Pennsylva-nia’s New Bolton Center, who cared for Kentucky Derby winner Barbaro. Dr. Larry, Bramlage of Kentucky’s Rood & Riddle Equine Hospital, has served as a media li-aison on nationally televised Triple Crown and Breeders’ Cup events on behalf of the American Association of Equine Practitio-ners.

Less known to the public, but equally revered in the Southwest United States is Dr. Tommy Hays III of the Elgin Veterinary Hospital. Recognized for his expertise in orthopedic and soft tissue surgery, Hays has tended to many of the top Quarter Horse Champions in the country.

Born in Thibodaux, La., Hays grew up in Oklahoma, where he spent his child-hood around horses, and, as he relayed, “pretty much lived on horseback.” Veteri-nary school was his calling, and he got his degree at Oklahoma State University. Following his graduation in 1985, he sought a practice which would allow him to specialize in horses. He saw an oppor-tunity at the Elgin Veterinary Hospital just 19 miles east of Austin, and went to work with Dr. Robert Lewis. Hays is in his 27th year of private practice and is considered one of the best equine surgeons in the country. He is a member of the American Association of Equine Practitioners and a founding member of the Texas Equine Veterinary Medical Association. In 1994, Hays was honored as Texas Veterinarian of the Year.

His schedule is demanding. Monday, Wednesday and Friday are devoted to surgery, with Hays performing 20 to 30 surgeries weekly – more than 1,000 each year. Tuesday and Thursday are clinic days, where Hays addresses lameness and performance issues including, but not limited to ulcers, sore legs and breathing issues.

“Top performance in race horses requires key components,” explains Hays. “A dragster will not win without the best wheels, motor and air. Horses have similar requirements to be competitive.”

He has raced Quarter Horses solely and in partnerships. He acknowledges that owners are faced with many curve-balls to keeping a horse healthy.

“I’ve had everything happen to my horses,” he said. “My goal is to get things fixed and have a happy, healthy animal. Not just for one race, but for longevity.”

Long-term health and performance are important to Hays. He has seen many horses run one big race, but not be able to replicate that effort. Hays has respect for champions like Tailor Fit and SLM Big Daddy, who were able to win several years in a row.

“Long-term longevity is the mark of success,” Hays said. “Good horses with capable trainers will eventually win, but even with that in place, you need a lot of luck.”

One of his trainers, Bobby Martinez, conditions Painted Sable for Hays and Bobby J. Barnett. The Utah-bred daughter of Pyc Paint Your Wagon ran in trials for the 2010 All American Futurity and quali-fied for the $1million Texas Classic Futu-rity at Lone Star Park. She was bumped in the final, running ninth to Bodacious

Dash. Several 2-year-olds owned by Hays are in train-ing with Martinez. Open Me a Corona will make her career debut at Delta Downs and One Eyed Eagle qualified for the $487,700 Sam Houston Futurity last month. Oak Tree Delight qualified for futurities at Louisiana Downs and the Firecracker Futurity at Delta Downs last July. Bred by Hays and Vessel Stallion Farm, the gelded son of Oak Tree Special out of the First Down Dash mare Show Me Delight will run in trials for the Ad-equan Texas Derby Challenge at Sam Houston Race Park.

“He’s the best vet in the country, in my opinion,” Martinez said. “He’s worked on all my horses including my (AQHA) world champion Oak Tree Special.”

Martinez has a swimming facility on his farm in McDade, just minutes away from the Elgin clinic. Hays is a propo-nent of swimming horses to maintain fitness. He points to research that confirms that hydrotherapy can assist healing and building strength without stress or trauma to joints and knees.

“We work together real well,” said Martinez. “He wants his horses to last, and if it means laying them up after a tough race, he’s good with that.”

Huge win with Sure Shot B

Last November at Lone Star Park, Hays had the most rewarding win as an owner when Sure Shot B scored a

9-1 upset in the $1,158,941 Texas Classic Futurity (Grade 1). The gelded son of Stoli is owned by Hays in partnership with Charles Forbes Jr. The fourth-fastest qualifier, Sure Shot B earned $501,164 for the win and won the fifth of his six career starts. His lone defeat in 2011 was a sixth-place finish in the Ruidoso Futurity (G1).

Hays is pleased that his champion emerged from the race in excellent condition and is training for the 3-year-old derbies at Ruidoso Downs under the watchful eye of trainer John Stinebaugh.

The usually laconic Hays has high praise for Sure Shot B as he prepares for his 2012 debut.

“He’s 100 percent fit and ready to run,” Hays said. “I believe we have a horse that everyone has to be worried about.”

Kudos from trainers and breeders

“I worked for the late Blane Schvaneveldt for a long time,” said Stinebaugh. “What I remember most is how much I learned from him. In the short time I have been associated with Tommy, I can say that he has taught me a lot. I send him videos of Sure Shot B’s works and he watches the way the horse travels. There is a mutual respect. I know that he wants a healthy, sound horse.”

Bob and Jerry Ann Gas-ton are prominent Quarter Horse owners and breeders. They bred two champions of million-dollar races in 2010: Bodacious Dash, winner of the Grade 1, Texas Classic Futurity (Grade 1) and Double Down Special, who captured the All American Derby (Grade 1). The Texas couple also owned Coronas Leaving You, one of the outstanding freshman sires of the year.

They have a long association with Hays.

For all the victories, there are the heartbreaks. On Sept. 8, 2006, the Gaston’s filly, First Tea Rose, suffered a severe leg injury in the Sam Houston Futurity. The track veterinar-ian recommended she be euthanized on the track, but Gaston vividly remembers that trainer Heath Taylor told the vet to wait while he called Dr. Hays. Taylor accompanied the filly in the two-hour van ride to Elgin for evaluation. At 6 a.m. the next morning, Dr. Hays had assembled a team and completed a meticulous surgery that required the insertion of 26 pins, First Tea Rose made a full recovery and has thrived as a broodmare, with five foals to date.

“Tommy saved her,” recalls Bob Gaston, who still chokes up recalling the events of six years ago. “She was 30-seconds from being euthanized, but Heath made the phone call, and Dr. Hays performed an amazing sur-gery. We are so thankful.”

Gaston is quick to com-mend Hays on his diagnostic expertise as well. Recently he sent a 10-day-old colt to Hays with concerns about his mobility. Hays examined the weanling an discovered an abscess in his navel.

“Tommy has an outstand-ing knowledge of horses and what makes their motor tick,” said Gaston.

Of course, Bob’s wife, Jerry Ann, sums up the acu-men of Dr. Tommy Hays in one word.

“Jerry calls him Super-man,” relays Gaston.

While he might not be “the man of steel,” “more powerful than locomotive” or able to “leap tall buildings in a single bound,” Dr. Tommy Hays has certainly saved the day and the career of many American Quarter Horses.


AHC Issues Forum to focus on reinvigorating the horse industry

The American Horse Coun-cil has announced that the theme for this year’s National Issues Forum is “Reinvigorating the Horse Industry.”

This year’s National Issues Forum will be held on Tuesday, June 26, in Washington, DC during the AHC’s annual meet-ing. The annual meeting will run from June 24 to 27 at the Washington Court Hotel and will include the AHC’s Congres-sional Reception, the annual Congressional Ride-In, and ses-sions on federal advocacy. This year’s meeting will also include the AHC’s Breed Roundtable, a popular event that brings together leaders of horse as-sociations to discuss common issues of importance to the industry.

The AHC’s various com-mittees and the Unwanted Horse Coalition will also meet to discuss issues affecting the equine community.

Over the last few years the number of horses bred and overall participation in equine activities has declined. Clearly, a major factor is the downturn in the economy; but there is a growing concern in the industry that the long-standing connection between horses and people is at risk for additional reasons. Many organizations are looking at how they can get more people active with horses, attract more participants and specta-tors to their events, and restore the demand for horse owner-ship by growing the horse community.

“Several national organiza-tions have undertaken market-

ing initiatives to reinvigorate the industry. They are address-ing what can be done to bring back those who may have left and attract new people. The Forum is an opportunity to hear from those organizations attacking this problem and to hear what they are doing,” said AHC president Jay Hickey.

The Forum will also include presentations on the evolving changes in federal advocacy. “Advances in tech-nology and social media and how constituents can contact their federal officials have affected grassroots activities. What other groups are doing and what kind of success they have had in mobilizing their members with new technolo-gies will be addressed,” said AHC Director of Legislation Ben Pendergrass. Regardless of the method, grassroots activi-ties are important to success in Washington and at the state and local level. Speakers will address these advocacy issues at the Forum.

The AHC will be hosting its Breed Roundtable. This event was brought back last year and proved so popular that it will be done again. It allows leaders of horse organizations involved in various disciplines to visit with each other and discuss issues of common concern.

The annual Congres-sional Ride-In will take place on Wednesday, June 27. The Ride-In allows members of the horse community to meet with their elected representa-tives and their federal officials to discuss important issues affecting them. All members of the horse community are en-couraged to participate, even

if you don’t attend the AHC convention. Congress deals with many issues that impact the horse industry, including taxes, gaming, immigration, access to trails and public lands, diseases, and interstate and international movement of horses. This is an opportunity for the horse community to come to Washington in force and meet with their Senators, Representatives, and staffs.

“The Ride-In puts an individual face on the $102 billion horse industry and the millions of Americans who are part of it,” said Hickey. “The most effective way to affect Congress is through voters, the horse people from back home who can tell Congress first-hand about the horse industry in their states and districts and the issues that impact them.”

The AHC will conduct a free briefing for Ride-In participants. Anyone wishing to participate in the Ride-In should contact AHC Legislative Director Ben Pendergrass at [email protected] or 202-296-4031.

More information on these Forums and the entire AHC annual meeting, including registration and hotel informa-tion can be found on the AHC’s website, http://horsecouncil.org/events.php or by contact-ing the AHC.

Vinton, LA2012 American Quarter Horse meet began April 27 at Delta DownsBy Martha Claussen

Delta Downs Racetrack Casino & Hotel will kick-off its 2012 Quarter Horse Season on Friday, April 27. Opening night will feature trials for

the $55,000-added Alabama Futurity.

The stakes schedule of-fers 27 featured races from April through July 14. A pair of 2-year-old futurities will highlight the Saturday, May 26 card as Delta Downs presents the Louisiana Lassie (RG2) and Louisiana Laddie Stakes (RG2). On July 7, the Firecracker Futurity and Firecracker Derby and the Delta Downs live rac-ing season concludes with the stakes-filled Louisiana Show-case Night.

Top horsemen to watch include Heath Taylor; Kenneth L. Roberts, Sr.; Frank Cavazos and Bobby Martinez. Janet VanBebber, who announced last month that she will disperse her public stable by the end of this year, was the leading trainer in earnings last year, finishing the meet in style on Louisiana Showcase Night with three takes wins, includ-ing a victory in the $458,180 Lee Berwick Memorial Futurity with Little Bit Trashy.

The solid jockey colony includes last year’s leading rider, J. R. Ramirez; Alfonso Lujan; Danny Lavergne and Jeff Jerman.

Delta Downs has the sup-port of the Louisiana Quarter Horse Breeders Association, (LQHBA) with a strong com-mitment to the accredited Louisiana Bred racing program. They host an annual Yearling Sale and Fall Mixed Sale and work closely with the American Quarter Horse Association to promote the sport. In 2011, the LQHBA paid out in excess of 4.3 million dollars in breeder (mare) and stallion awards, which offers further incentives for horsemen running at Delta

Downs and all other Louisiana tracks. Since 2001, the LQHBA has given over $239,000 in youth scholarships to gradu-ating high school seniors in Louisiana.

Boyd Gaming, a publicly held Las Vegas casino company (NYSE:BYD), acquired Delta Downs in 2001. Slot ma-chines made their debut in 2002. In 2004, another major $50-million expansion took place resulting in their on-site hotel and larger slot facility. The entire team at Delta Downs is eagerly anticipating the return of live racing, according to Steve Kuypers, Delta Downs Vice President and General Manager.

“All of us at Delta Downs are look-ing forward to another exciting season of American Quarter racing in 2012,” said Kuypers. “ Our solid stakes schedule, along with daily programs that offer lucrative purses, sets the stage for another great meeting for both horsemen and horse-players alike.”

Live racing is set for Wednesdays through Saturday with first post at 6:45 p.m. The 46-day meet will continue through July 14. For more information on the stakes schedule, promotions and special events at Delta Downs Racetrack Casino & Hotel, visit deltadowns.com.

APRIL 30, 2012Nicholasville, KYStatement of Policy on race day medication and safety concerns from the Jockey’s Guild

The board of directors of the Jockeys’ Guild has voted to adopt the following policy statement concerning race day medications and safety concerns:

1. The safety of human and equine athletes must be paramount at all times in racing.

2. We participate in, and support the mission of, the Racing Medication Testing Consortium board (“RMTC”), which is striving to develop and promote uniform rules, policies and testing standards at the national level; coordinate research and educational programs that seek to ensure the integrity of racing and the health and welfare of racehorses and participants;

and protect the interests of the racing public.

3. The rules regarding race day medi-cation should be uniform throughout the United States through the creation of an Interstate Compact on Horse Racing which will enable states to act coopera-tively with more uniform, effective and efficient practices, programs, rules and regulations related to racing.

4. We support the RMTC’s recom-mendation to reduce the threshold of in-blood for phenylbutazone (“Bute”) from 5 micrograms/milliliter (ug/ml) to 2micrograms/milliliter (ug/ml).

5. We support mandatory PRE-RACE veterinary exams as the only real guarantee against unsafe horses on the racetrack. We believe there should be a stronger emphasis on the responsibility of the veterinarian in the afternoon to scratch horses that are not warming up soundly during the post-parade.

6. We agree that the improper use of clenbuterol and illegally compounded non-FDA-approved substances is a serious concern. We support the RMTC’s current efforts to determine the withdrawal times before a horse so treated can be al-lowed to race.

7. We agree that corticosteroids have to be thoroughly studied and limited in use as the science dictates.

8. We support rigorous limits on extracorporeal shock wave therapy. Every owner, trainer, or veterinarian who owns or buys a shock wave therapy apparatus must register it with the Commission, Board of Stewards and race track where it is being used before it is used and give notice every time it is used. Shock Wave therapy needs to

be conducted at a designated area, overseen by a regulatory veterinar-ian or racing official. The details of any such treatment for any horse shall be provided to all jockeys and the horse shall not race within 10 days of treatment as currently stated

in the ARCI Model Rules.9. We agree that no adjunct race day

medications are permissible.10. We support continuing scientific

studies of the safety of utilizing Furoso-mide (“Lasix”) as a race day medication and will work with the industry to take any actions necessary to ensure safety. If Lasix is used it shall be administered by a regulatory veterinarian.

APRIL 29, 2012Oklahoma City, OKCarter adds five wins

The final racing day of April was a big one for leading jockey G.R. Carter. The defend-ing American Quarter Horse Association Champion Jockey won five races to stretch his advantage atop the rider standings.

Carter posted victory in the daily double to get his Sun-day rolling with Call Me Flyer ($5.20 to win) in the opener and Queen Of Nuts ($4.60) in the second race. Icy Valentine

($4.40) took him to victory in the fifth race and then Sepa-racrest ($10.80) did the same in race eight. The Carter quin-tuple was completed in race 10 when he won with Klassy Sassy ($25.20) at 11-1 odds.

The five wins for Carter moves him to 48 on the season, 16 ahead of Adalberto Candanosa who sits in second. Carter is attempting to win his 15th riding title at Remington Park. He has been voted the AQHA jockey nine times, more than any other rider in the his-tory of the award.

APRIL 28, 2012Inglewood, CAStreakin’ Mohican sets turf course record

Making his first start for new connections after being claimed Feb. 25, Streakin’ Mohi-can established a course record for six furlongs on turf Saturday at Betfair Hollywood Park.

Quickly establishing com-mand under jockey Rafael Be-jarano, the 5-year-old gelded son of Songandaprayer was never menaced and won by 5 ¼ lengths.

Despite being taken in hand well before the finish, Streakin’ Mohican, who was taken for $32,000 by a part-nership that includes trainer Bill Spawr, stopped the clock in 1:07.24. This bettered the previous record of 1.07.54 set by Scottsbluff in the Robert K. Kerlan Memorial Handicap July 15, 2007.

The victory was the eighth in 29 starts for the Florida bred, who was the 17-10 favorite in the $32,000 claimer, the seventh of 10 races.

Now 2-for-3 over the Betfair Hollywood Park grass, Streakin’ Mohican was claimed once more Saturday. Trainer Wilton Whitehouse took the chestnut for owner Robert Rosette.

APRIL 27, 2012Ruidoso Downs, NMTraining races set for May 7-9 for two-year-olds at Ruidoso Downs

Training races for two-year-old Quarter Horses will be held on May 7-9 at Ruidoso Downs after a very successful debut last year.

The 300-yard training races begin each morning at 8:30 a.m. and post times will be 18 minutes apart.

There will be a maximum of six horses in each race and horses must be saddled before coming to the saddling pad-dock.

The entry deadline for training races is 11 a.m. on May 3 in the racing office. There is a $50 entry fee due at time of entry for each horse (check or cash only).

A welcome barbeque for horsemen will be held at the chapel following the training races on May 9.

The training races pre-cede the trials to the Grade 1, $600,000 Ruidoso Futurity on opening day, May 25, of the summer season. The two-year-olds in the training races are also pointing to the Grade 1, $2.4 million All American Futurity on Labor Day. The All American Futurity is the world’s richest Quarter Horse race and boasts the largest purse for a two-year-old race-horse of any breed in North America.

APRIL 26, 2012Inglewood, CAMilady H. to be renamed Marjorie L. Everett; Betfair Hollywood Park plans tribute May 19

Betfair Hollywood Park will pay tribute to former Holly-wood Park chairman, president

and chief operating officer Marje Everett Saturday, May 19.

To honor the memory of Everett, who passed away March 23 at 90, Betfair Holly-wood Park will rename the Mi-lady Handicap, a fixture on the Spring/Summer calendar, the Marjorie L. Everett Handicap.

A gathering will be held in the Gold Cup Room immedi-ately after the last race, which will be the Marjorie L. Everett Handicap.

Those wishing to share their memories of Everett, who was part of track management from 1972 to 1991, will be able to do so.

A Grade 2 for fillies and mares at 1 1/16 miles over Cushion Track, the Milady has been won twice in the past by such stars as A Gleam, Adored, Azeri, Bayakoa, Paseana and Zenyatta.

The May 19 program will also include the simulcast of the Preakness Stakes from Pimlico.

APRIL 25, 2012New Orleans, LA141st Thoroughbred season to openThanksgiving DayLSRC Approves 84-Day Meet, Nov. 22 to March 31; Five-Day Weeks in March

The 141st Thoroughbred Racing Season at Fair Grounds Race Course & Slots will en-compass 84 live racing days, from Nov. 22, 2012 to March 31, 2013. The dates were ap-proved at Monday’s quarterly meeting of the Louisiana State Racing Commission.

The Thoroughbred Racing Season again starts with the traditional Thanksgiving Day opener on Nov. 22. In the only significant change from last season’s schedule, racing will be conducted four days per week (except holiday weeks),


Thursdays to Sundays, through February. In March racing expands to five days per week, Wednesdays to Sundays. In recent years the season started with five-day weeks before shifting to four-day weeks.

“Assigning more dates toward the end of the season allows us to take ad-vantage of historically better weather in March, which we anticipate will result in a net increase in turf races,” said Fair Grounds President Tim Bryant. “We also have found, for a number of reasons, that it’s easier to attract large and competitive fields later in the meet. This shift should improve the quality of our product from day one.”

Outside of the normal weekly schedule, special holiday cards will be presented on New Year’s Eve (Dec. 31, a Monday), Martin Luther King Jr. Day (Jan. 21, a Monday), Mardi Gras (February 12, a Tuesday) and Washington’s Birthday, also known as Presidents Day (Feb. 18, a Monday).

There will be no live racing on Super Bowl Sunday, Febru-ary 3, when Super Bowl XLVII will be hosted in New Orleans at the Mercedes-Benz Super-dome.

The milestone 100th Loui-siana Derby will be run as part of the meet’s penultimate card on March 30, a Saturday, five weeks prior to the Kentucky Derby. Closing Day, March 31, coincides with Easter Sunday.

Cypress, CAPatricia Lynn Childers Muzio passes away

Patricia Lynn Childers Muzio passed away peace-fully at her home surrounded by her loved ones following a yearlong battle with cancer on March 27. Born on Sept. 20, 1941, she was the only child

of legendary Hall of Fame owner and breeder Spencer L. Childers and his beloved wife, Florence E. Childers.

Pat grew up treasuring her parents and was very proud of their legacy and many accomplishments. After the passing of her father in 2009, Pat was honored to take over the Childers Ranch in Fresno, California. The horse operation would eventually be moved to Templeton, California, where the family continued imple-menting the Childers brand of breeding and racing.

“It is truly humbling to walk in my father’s footsteps but we do it with tremendous pride,” Pat wrote on the ranch’s website.

Pat attended high school in Scottsdale, Arizona and Clo-vis, California. She studied real estate at Fresno City College and was a real estate broker in Fresno for many years, and started her own agency in the 1970s named the Old Fresno Company.

“My mother loved horses and cared for them like beloved pets, and respected them like champion athletes,” said her daughter, Deborah Muzio Lopez. “My mother was an avid and gifted crafter known for her knitting, sewing,

and needlepoint skills, tal-ents she no doubt inherited from her mother.”

“A few days before she died, my brother and I took the screen off her window and pushed her bed as close to it as we could. David got her horse, Cash, and brought him up to the window so my Mom could see him. It brought her so much joy just to be near him. The memory is bitter sweet for me. She will be greatly missed,” she added.

Patricia Lynn Childers Muzio was preceded in death by her parents. She is

survived by her two children, David Spencer Muzio, 48, and Deborah Muzio Lopez, 42. David is married to Olga Muzio and the couple has two chil-dren, Avaristo Spencer Muzio, 3 and Dasha Estelle Muzio, 3 months. They live in Temple-ton, CA. Deborah is married to James William Lopez. They have 2 children, Sydney Claire Lopez, 10 and Kyle Beckham Lopez, 6. They live in Fresno, CA. She is also survived by her uncle and aunt Gordon and Dorothy Childers of Hunting-ton Beach.

APRIL 18, 2012Vinton, LA$1 million Delta Downs jackpot to be renewed Saturday, Nov. 17The Grade 3 race for 2-year-olds to celebrate its 10th anniversary

Following its second consecutive record-setting program in track history, Boyd Gaming Corporation (NYSE: BYD) today announced that this year’s $1 million Delta Downs Jackpot (Grade 3) for 2-year-olds will be held at its Delta Downs Racetrack Casino

& Hotel on Saturday afternoon, Nov. 17.

This year will mark the 10th anniversary of the $1 million Delta Downs Jackpot, which is contested at 1-1/16 miles on a dirt surface. The race is one of the richest in the country for 2-year-olds and will provide a stepping stone to the 2013 Kentucky Derby with its lofty graded stakes purse money.

The 2011 edition of the $1 million Delta Downs Jackpot program produced an all-time record handle of $4.4 million, which marked a 16 percent increase over the old record set in 2010, when fans put $3.8 million through the betting windows. The record-setting numbers produced in the last two years came after the race was moved from an evening program on the first Friday in December to an afternoon pro-gram in the third week of No-vember. The schedule changes have received overwhelming support nationally from both horsemen and fans alike.

The $1 million Delta Downs Jackpot Day program propelled the racetrack to its most successful meet to date. The 2011-2012 meet produced a total of $129,156,637 in handle from all sources com-pared to $122,282,916 that was wagered during the 2010-2011 season. That represented a 5.62 percent increase year-over-year.

“We are extremely proud of the $1 million Delta Downs Jackpot program and how far it has come in just a few short years,” said Paul Chakmak, Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of Boyd Gaming. “The race has become one of the most important events on the 2-year-old racing calendar each fall and we look forward to even more growth as we celebrate our 10th an-niversary in 2012.”

APRIL 29, 2012SunRay Park, Farmington, NMFavorite Little Bit Southern wins Four Corners Senora Stakes

A sharp break from her rail post helped Little Bit Southern score a neck victory in Sun-day’s $85,000 Four Corners Senora Stakes (RG3) for New Mexico-bred distaff ers at Sun-Ray Park.

Prepped by Victor Ro-driguez for owner Edilberto Estrada, Little Bit Southern covered her 400-yard trip in :19.362 and earned a 94 speed index. The $51,000 winner’s share of the purse increased her earnings to $247,900 from 32 starts.

Even though she broke from post 1, Little Bit Southern was positioned in the middle of the track at the wire.

“I knew from looking at her form from Sunland Park that she liked to get out from the rail, but I was OK with that because she has good speed away from the gate and doesn’t bother anybody when she does get out,” said jockey Salvador Martinez, who was riding Little Bit Southern for the fi rst time. “So I let her get out a little bit, and when she hooked up with (runner-up) Wish You Had One To, she came back and ran her race.

“She was going really easy at the end,” he added. “I just hit her a couple of times, just to keep her attention on the race.”

Little Bit Southern was bred by Richard and Patri-cia Shearer of Portales, New Mexico. The bay 5-year-old mare’s sire, Southern Corona, is a winning 11-year-old son of the Holland Ease stallion Corona Cartel and the winning and stakes-placed Reb’s Policy

(TB) mare Southern Policy. Southern Corona ran second in a division of the 870-yard The Woodlands Stakes at Sam Houston Race Park in 2004.

Southern Corona’s top runners include First Corona Call, the winner of the March 3, $99,826 West Texas Maturity (G3) at Sunland Park, and Little Southern Swing, the winner of the 2010 New Mexico Cup 870 Championship (R) at Zia Park. Owned by the Shearers, the stallion stands for a $2,000 fee at Dr. Leonard Blach’s Buena Suerte Equine in Roswell, New Mexico.

Little Bit Southern’s dam, Averys Little Bit, is a 13-year-old daughter of the Streakin Six stallion Streakin La Jolla.

Campaigned exclusively in New Mexico, Little Bit Southern has won eight races; including two outs during last year’s Zia Park meet. On December 18, the mare scored her fi rst career stakes victory in the 400-yard, $110,000 Lou Wooten Handi-cap (RG1) at Sunland Park.

Little Bit Southern re-turned a $4.40 win mutuel as the 6-5 favorite in the fi eld of seven.

Wish You Had One To fi n-ished second and was followed by Wonwabbitwon, Snow Re-

gard, Famous Caillie, Blushing Cartel, and Cat Ta Hoola.

Wish You Had One To was claimed for $10,000 on Feb. 25 by her current owners, Royal Dream Ranch LLC. The 3-year-old fi lly by Stel Corona has won two of 12 starts and has banked $62,184, and her stakes resume includes a third-place fi nish in the April 14, $110,000 Sunburst Stakes (R) for New Mexico-bred sopho-more fi llies at Sunland Park.

A 5-year-old daughter of the Yawls Rabbit stallion Rab-bits Rainbow racing for Sierra Moseley, Wonwabbitwon has earned $73,128 from 12 outs. The one-time $6,500 claimer has won four races, including two against state-bred allow-ance company.

Betfair Hollywood Park, Inglewood, CAQuiet Oasis ready off bench; wins Wilshire at 15-1

Making her fi rst start in more than fi ve months, Quiet Oasis upset seven rivals and won the $100,000 Wilshire Handicap Sunday at Betfair Hollywood Park.

Owner J. Paul Reddam and jockey Mario Gutierrez, who

collected his fi rst local stakes win, hope the result was a positive omen for Saturday’s Kentucky Derby.

Gutierrez will ride the Reddam-owned I’ll Have Another May 5 as the 3-year-old son of Flower Alley tries to repeat his success in the Santa Anita Derby.

A 4-year-old Irish bred fi lly by Oasis Dream and the Sunday Silence mare Silent Heir, Quiet Oasis, who won by a half-length, had been idle since fi nishing sixth of eight in the Grade 1 Matriarch last Nov. 25.

After recording six drills since March 7, Quiet Oasis was ready to fi re for trainer Ben Cecil, winning for the third time in eight starts. Two of her wins have come in four starts in this country. She’s earned $122,379.

Completing the mile on turf in 1:34.63 in the Grade 3, Quiet Oasis paid $33.20, $12.60 and $6.40. Briecat, the pacesetter, and Antares World, the longest shot in the cast at 46-1, fi nished in a dead heat for second. Briecat returned $4 and $4.60 while Antares World paid $19 and $12.

Nereid, the 6-5 favorite who was making her 2012

debut for trainer John Shirreff s, was fourth, one length behind Quiet Oasis.

It was the fi rst loss in four tries over the Betfair Holly-wood Park turf course for the 4-year-old daughter of Rock Hard Ten, whose biggest vic-tory came when she fi nished in a dead heat with Cambina in the Grade 1 American Oaks last July 16.

Off the board in her previous two attempts at the Wilshire distance, Quiet Oasis tracked the pace for most of the journey, then wore down Briecat late while outfi nishing Antares World.

The win was the third in the Wilshire for Cecil, one less than leader Bobby Frankel. The trainer credited Reddam with the decision to run in the Wilshire.

“I told him we should run in the 6 ½ furlong allow-ance (the seventh race May 4) because I thought fi rst time off the layoff she’d be a little keen.

“I let him make the call and he made the right one to run here. He gets all the credit. We’ve always thought a lot of her. We’re hoping next time she’ll settle even more. How far she’ll go is a question mark.’’

John Shirreff s, who trains

Nereid for owner Eric Kronfeld, was far from discouraged by her return. Nereid’s most recent race before Sunday was a third in the Queen Elizabeth II Cup, a Grade 1, last Oct. 15 at Keeneland.

“She ran really well,’’ he said. “I thought it was a very nice race fi rst time back. We’ll move on from here.’’

APRIL 28, 2012Delta Downs, Vinton, LAEyesa Western true to form in Delta Dash

Anireal Chavira’s Eyesa Western is building a career in short-distance races and he raced true to form by winning the $35,000 Delta Dash Stakes over 250 yards on Saturday night at Delta Downs.

The Randy Edison-trained Eyesa Western prevailed in the fi nal 50 yards to get neck win in :13.041. Louisianaschoolboy was right there in second while it was one-half length back to Heza Grand Ds Dash in third place.

Eyesa Western, the 8-5 favorite, scored his fourth win from 11 starts at the distance to go with one second and a pair of third-place fi nishes.

The seven-year-old geld-ing joined the Edison stable last fall and won a 300-yard optional-claiming race in his fi rst start out of his new barn. He then moved up to stakes company with a close second over 250 yards in the Harrah’s Dash and won the 350-yard Swift Stakes by a neck.

Runnerup Louisian-aschoolboy, a 25-1 long shot, has spent much of his career in the claiming division with a win in a $5,000 starter-allow-ance race two starts ago for owner Wade Hall III and trainer Willie Simien Jr.

Sam Houston Race Park, Houston, TXFamily aff air for the Jermans and Bok Man in Red Cell Texas Distance Challenge

It was a family celebration this evening at Sam Houston Race Park as Bok Man captured the $22,500 Red Cell Texas Dis-tance Challenge. The 4-year-old son of Boknaai, made his seventh start at the distance of 870-yards, and closed gamely to win the fi rst stakes of his career.

band, Jerry, Bok Man was rid-den by their son, Jeff , who ar-rived just moments before the race. He had ridden the third race at Delta Downs, jumped in his truck and made the two-hour drive to Sam Houston. He may have faced traffi c on I-10, but navigated a fl awless trip on the track, covering 870-yards in :45.791.

“I really didn’t think I was going to make it on time, but God willing, it worked out,” said winning rider Jeff Jerman. “I hadn’t had a chance to ride this horse since last year. Dad sent him out to Sunland, but I watched his races. I felt that he wasn’t close enough, so that was what I tried to do tonight. He really has a good fi nish to him.”

It was a jubilant celebra-tion for the Jerman family as the striking gray entered the winner’s circle.

“I have to give all the glory to God,” said Cynthia Jerman following the race. “He’s an awesome horse and part of our family. We’ve been hoping for something like this for a long time.”

“Jeff did it for us; gave him a great ride,” said Jerry Jerman. “I want to thank everyone in-volved. Our groom, Jose, broke the horse and did a wonder-

ful job with him. It all came together.”

Morning-line favorite Kite Flyer drew the coveted rail post and had the lead under rider Santos Carrizales, until Bok Man slipped by at the wire.

“Unfortunately, he hadn’t run this year and needed an out,” said Carrizales. “We thought he was ready with the work we put into him. He’s a nice horse.”

Mysterious Streaker ran third, followed by Kudos for Quick Dash, Midnight Bush-whacker and Im A Grand Believer.

Bok Man left the gates as the third betting choice and paid $10.80 for the win. He will represent Texas in the $125,000 Red Cell Distance Challenge Championship (Grade 2) on October 27 at Prairie Mead-ows. Jerman indicated that he might make one more start this meet in the $25,000 Gover-nor’s Cup Marathon on May 19.

Betfair Hollywood Park, Inglewood, CAUnusual Heatwave completes Bejarano quintuple; Willa B Awesome outnods Starry Skies in Melair

Unusual Heatwave, a half-

brother to 2010 winner Alphie’s Bet, collared favored Stoney Fleece in the closing yards to take the $300,000 Snow Chief, capping another memorable California Gold Rush Day for jockey Rafael Bejarano at Bet-fair Hollywood Park.

About 24 hours after he had been sworn in as a United States citizen, Bejarano, 29, won four other races Saturday – three of them stakes – and this was the second time he’s had fi ve wins on a Gold Rush card. The Peruvian-born rider also accomplished the feat in 2009.

Through the fi rst three days of the Spring/Summer meet, Bejarano has fi ve stakes wins. The record for a Spring/Summer season is18, set by Bill Shoemaker during a 77-day meet in 1971.

In the day’s second most lucrative event for horses bred or sired in California, Grade 1 winner Willa B Awesome gained another nose victory, taking the $288,000 Melair Stakes.

A narrow winner over Re-neesgotzip in the Santa Anita Oaks when 13-1 March 31 at Santa Anita, Willa B Awesome prevailed by the same margin Saturday as the 11-10 favorite.

The fi fth victory in 13

starts for the 3-year-old Awe-some Gambler fi lly out of the Nineeleven mare Cause I’m Tricky came after a race long battle with 2-1 second choice Starry Skies.

Making her fi rst appear-ance on synthetic after win-ning two turf sprints to begin her career at Santa Anita, Starry Skies took the early lead from Willa B Awesome and held it for all but a jump or two. The fi nal time for the nine furlongs was 1:53.33.

Owned by a partnership that includes breeder Terry Lovingier, Phil Daniels, Patsy London and John Winters and trained by Walther Solis, Willa B Awesome, who carried top weight of 124 pounds, seven more than the runner-up, increased her bankroll to $578,896.

The chestnut fi lly has now won three stakes in 2012. Prior to the Melair and Santa Anita Oaks, Willa B Awesome had gone gate-to-wire at 11-1 in the Grade 3 Santa Ysabel Jan. 28 at Santa Anita.

She was ridden Saturday by Martin Pedroza, who has been aboard for all but one of her victories. Willa B Awesome paid $4.20, $2.40 and $2.10. Starry Skies, who fi nished 3 ½ lengths in front of 3-1 third

Unusual HeatwaveBok Man


choice, returned $3.20 and $2.20. The show price on Star-light Magic was $2.40.

“ I wasn’t going to let that other fi lly get away,’’ said Pe-droza, back in action less than two weeks after suff ering bro-ken ribs in a spill at Santa Anita. “I fi gured that other fi lly (Starry Skies) is two-for-two and I can’t let her get away because she might hang in there tough and beat me at the end.

“I got side by side with her to make her do a little something. The other fi lly hung in pretty tough, I’ll give her credit.’’

Getting his fi rst shot at 1 1/8 miles, Unusual Heatwave took full advantage of the op-portunity, earning his second win in nine starts and padding his bankroll to $265,262. He’s owned by Ellen and Peter O. Johnson, Sr. and Teresa McWil-liams and trained by Alexis Barba, the same connections that campaigned Alphie’s Bet.

Making his fi rst start on a surface other than turf since he debuted over the Del Mar Polytrack last Aug. 7, Unusual Heatwave rallied in the center of the track to win by a half-length in 1:51.63.

The 5-2 second choice, Unusual Heatwave paid $7.40,

$3.60 and $2.80. Stoney Fleece, the 19-10 choice, returned $3.40 and $3.20. He fi nished 1 ¼ lengths in front of maiden Dylan Donnelly. The show price on the 7-1 shot was $4.20.

“It was a good trip,’’ said Bejarano, who has 15 Gold Rush wins, second to Victor Espinoza’s 21. “I followed the favorite the whole way and stayed out of trouble.

“He was much the best to-day. At the beginning, it didn’t look like he wanted to go, but at the half-mile pole he really picked it up. I was waiting for the favorite to move by the three-eighths and I decided to wait a little more until I came to the stretch. As soon as we straightened away I let him run and he took off .’’

The easiest of Bejarano’s wins was courtesy of Mobi-lized, who won the $125,000 Tiznow by 7 ¼ lengths as the 5-2 second choice.

Trained by Gary Mandella for owners Double JH Stables, Inc. and the Estate of breeder Robert Reseigne, the 6-year-old son of Soul of the Matter and the Red Ransom mare Valleyofthebells, Mobilized dominated after trailing for the fi rst half mile and despite Bejarano losing his whip with

about three furlongs to run.Covering the 7 ½ furlongs

over Cushion Track in 1:29.47, Mobilized won for the sixth time in 22 races. He’s earned $360,080.

Third behind Amazombie and Quick Enough in the 2011 Tiznow, Mobilized paid $7.80, $3.40 and $2.80. Italian Rules, the 2-1 favorite, was second, a half-length in front of 15-1 shot Kingpin Ryno. Italian Rules returned $3.60 and $2.40. The show payoff on Kingpin Ryno was $7.20.

Another of Bejarano’s win-ners, Warren’s Jitterbug, also took advantage of a contested pace as she rallied for an 11-1 surprise in the $125,000 B.

Thoughtful Stakes.The win was the most

lucrative of three Saturday for owner-breeder Benjamin War-ren and trainer Jorge Gutierrez.

The pair combined to take the opener, a $50,000 claimer for maiden California bred fi l-lies, with Warren’s Mo Money, then completed the triple with Warren’s Internet in the fourth, the $60,000 Alphabet Kisses.

A 5-year-old daughter of Affi rmative and the Peaks and Valleys mare Jitterbug Jan, Warren’s Jitterbug won the fourth time in 24 starts. The $71,250 payday pushed her earnings to $355,994. This was her initial win in 10 races over synthetic surfaces.

Warren’s Jitterbug com-pleted the 7 ½ furlongs over Cushion Track in 1:31.44. She paid $25, $11.20 and $7. Going for a Spin, who was also outrun early, completed the exacta, a half-length behind the winner. She paid $8.40 and $5.20.

Sister Kate, who won the pace battle over favored stablemate Halo Dolly, re-turned $6 to show. The race was the fi rst away from Golden Gate Fields for the full sister to Brother Derek.

Camille C. winless since her victory in the 2010 Melair, was a neck back in fourth and she was a nose in front of 19-10 choice Halo Dolly. A Jealous Woman and Miss Becca com-

pleted the order of fi nish.Hall of Famer Bob Baff ert,

the all-time leading Gold Rush trainer, added two wins to his total, taking the $72,800 Grey Memo with 8-1 shot Gatherat-thealter and the $71,400 War-ren’s Thoroughbreds with 2-1 favorite Sparkling Style.

The 2 ½ length victory by Sparkling Style, who is owned by Arnold Zetcher, was her second in a Gold Rush event. A year earlier, the daughter of Badge of Silver had earned her maiden victory in the Alphabet Kisses.

Joe Talamo rode Sparkling Style, who completed the seven furlongs over Cushion Track in 1:23.71.

The nose win by Gatherat-thealter, a $32,000 claim last Dec. 9 by Live Your Dream Racing Stables LLC, which includes longtime handicapper and Television Games Network personality Bob Baedeker, was the 11th in the Gold Rush for Baff ert. John Sadler is second with seven wins.

A 4-year-old gelded son of Lucky Pulpit and the Nashwan mare Gather the Group, Gath-eratthealter, who was ridden by Bejarano, has won fi ve of 14 and earned $79,268. Defeat-ing Relentless Heat by a head, he ran the seven furlongs in 1:23.74. It was his fi rst victory in fi ve outings since he was claimed at Betfair Hollywood Park.

The Gold Rush wrapped when Valentine Boy, a 6-1 shot who had been idle since last July 24, won the $60,000 NTRA Stakes under jockey Chantal Sutherland.

Evangeline Downs, Opelousas, LASadie’s Soldier uncorks a giant rally to win John Henry Stakes

Sadie’s Soldier ($12.00) uncorked a giant rally to win the $50,000 John Henry Stakes

for three-year-olds and up at Evangeline Downs Racetrack & Casino on Saturday evening. Sitting back in tenth position of the eleven runners and well off the early pace for most of the race, Sadie’s Soldier and jockey Kerwin Clark were able to weave their way thru traffi c on the fi nal turn and in the upper stretch before catching and passing Classic Cascade in the fi nal 50 yards to win by ¾’s of a length. The running time for the distance of about one mile & one sixteenth on a turf course labeled fi rm was 1:41.05, less than one second off the course record.

Classic Cascade, who grabbed the lead in the home stretch from early paceset-ter Pirate Island when that one tired after setting early fractions of 22.75, 47.08, and 1:10.85, dug in but was unable to hold off the late charge of the winner while fi nish-ing more than three lengths clear of the 2.60 to 1 favorite Merkabah, who fi nished in third, a nose in front of Dandy’s Legacy. Up and Out of Here was 5th after a ground saving trip, followed by Wicked Vow and Idefromthebayou. Berg-man was next across the fi nish line in 8th, with Unitas, Pirate Sparkling Style

Island, and Candiano complet-ing the order of fi nish.

Winning for the sixth time in sixteen career starts, Sadie’s Soldier, a fi ve-year-old horse by Lost Soldier, earned $30,000 for the victory, his fi rst in a black-type event and pushed his lifetime bankroll to more than $196,000 for owner Harry L. Benoit and trainer Brett Brinkman. Out of the Encour-ager mare Whiplash Wilma, he was bred in Louisiana by L.P. Cormier.

Turf Paradise, Phoenix, AZTen Ninety Seven shines on day for Arizona-breds

Vaughn Calvert Ranch’s Ten Ninety Seven went to the lead on the backstretch and then went on to win the $50,000 Gene Fleming Breeders Derby over one-and-one-sixteenth mile during an afternoon of racing dedicated to Arizona-breds on Saturday at Turf Paradise.

Trained by Jim Pickard and ridden by David Lopez, Ten Ninety Seven was clocked in 1:45.87 for the four-and-three-quarter-length win. Wildcat Energy was second and All Mighty Buck fi nished third in

the eight-horse fi eld of three-year-olds.

A gelding by Sideburn, Ten Ninety Seven made his 12th start in the Fleming and raced to his fi rst win since winning his trial to the ATBA Sales Stakes in October. He came into the Fleming off a third-place run in the Arizona Stallion Stakes.

The Gene Fleming was supported by four stakes races for Arizona-breds with $35,000 purses — the Sandra Hall Grand Canyon Handicap, the Ann Owens Distaff Handi-cap, the Dwight Patterson Handicap and the Joanne Dye Stakes.

In the Sandra Hall Grand Canyon Handicap for older horses at six furlongs, Espresso Springs engaged in a three-wide duel on the turn and then prevailed in the lane to win by three quarters of a length in 1:09.37.

FD Icy was second and 2-1 favorite Outa Crown was third in the competitive full fi eld.

The Rick Wise and Richard Antle-owned Espresso Springs stepped up from the claiming division for the win. He won at the $10,000 claiming level two starts ago and then was second for a $16,000 claiming

tag in his prior start.In the Ann Owens Distaff

for older females at six fur-longs, Top Debutante lived up to her 2-5 favoritism with a nearly three-length win in 1:09.49 for the six furlongs.

Jockey Vicky Baze allowed Top Debutante to settle and they made a wide move on the turn to take control of the race and draw away for the win. The four-year-old daughter of Top Hit returned to Arizona after placing in four high-priced optional-claiming races in California.

A year ago, Top Debutante won the Joanne Dye Stakes on the same program.

Stormy Crystal fi nished

second and Gotta Skedaddle was third.

In the Dwight Patterson Stakes for older horses at one-and-one-sixteenth mile on the turf, Barbara Nielson Swenson’s Salado Tribe pulled out in the stretch as the even-money fa-vorite to win by three quarters of a length over Seattle Memo. Sweetsomerwine was third.

Salado Tribe, trained by David Van Winkle, scored his fourth win from 10 starts on the grass and concluded a successful winter campaign at Turf Paradise. He won a pair of allowance races and placed in four other races during the meet before his Patterson victory.

SunRay Park, Farmington, NMOur Choice extends win streak in Jack Cole

Stable HMA’s Our Choice

ran his winning streak to fi ve with a two-length score in Saturday’s 1-mile, $110,000 Jack Cole Handicap (R) for New Mexico-breds at SunRay Park.

Under jockey Ry Eikle-berry, who has been aboard Our Choice in all of his vic-tories during the streak, the 7-year-old gelding made his eight-furlong trip in 1:38.04 after closing off of solid early fractions of :22.80, :45.85, and 1:11.22. Our Choice was coming off of a Sunland Park campaign in which he won four of his six starts at the meet, including the 4 1/2-fur-long, $110,000 Mt. Cristo Rey Handicap (R) in a track-record :49.57 on March 10.

Our Choice was claimed for $25,000 by Stable HMA and trainer Justin Evans on December 27, after the geld-ing had fi nished second in a 5 1/2-furlong allowance-option-al claiming sprint at Sunland Park.

“We were a little con-cerned about this longer distance, but we knew that he was a router earlier in his career,” said Evans. “The key with this horse is to get him to settle in, and Ry fi ts him perfectly. If he can get him to settle in and gallop along for a ways until he’s comfortable, when he pushes the button on him he just goes.”

Our Choice was bred by

the Owens family’s Triple AAA Ranch, and the gelding is one of 21 stakes winners sired by Desert God, an unraced son of the Mr. Prospector stallion Fap-piano and the leading sire of New Mexico-bred Thorough-breds in 2011. Now 21, Desert God has sired the earners of more than $9.4 million from 144 starters. Owned by H. Joseph Allen of Abilene, Texas, he stands at Fred and Linda Alexander’s A & A Ranch in Anthony, New Mexico.

Our Choice’s dam, the Arizona-bred mare Neat Choice, is a winning 1986 foal by the Crafty Drone stallion First Draft Choice.

share of the Jack Cole Handi-cap pushed Our Choice’s bankroll to $537,667, of which $201,000 has been earned since the claim. The gelding has won 12 of 47 starts, includ-ing four stakes, while racing exclusively in New Mexico.

While racing from the barn of David Wolochuk last summer, Our Choice scored a three-quarter length victory in the 7-furlong, $50,000 E.T. Springer Stakes during the New Mexico State Fair portion of The Downs at Albuquerque meet. He also ran second, three-quarters of a length behind longshot winner Lota Talent, in the 7 1/2-furlong, $50,000 Land of Enchant-ment Handicap (R) at Ruidoso Downs.

Evans indicated that Our Choice would be pointed to this year’s 54-day Zia Park meet, which opens Sept. 8.

“We’re going to try to give him a little break – he’s defi nitely earned it,” added the trainer. “We might decide to race him on Zia Day at Ruidoso (on July 29) or Lineage Day at Albuquerque (on August 26), but our big campaign with him is going to be Zia next fall. He has a well-deserved break coming.”

Brother Louie fi nished second in the Jack Cole and was followed by Smash Dancer, On Down The Road, Gotta Move, Attitude E Racer, Double Smart, Rig’s Runner, and Bigtruck El Paso.

Brother Louie is a 5-year-old gelding by the Green Dancer stallion Emerald Jig campaigned by Solitaire Stable, Lisa Dominguez, and Carlos Gutierrez. Brother Louie has fi ve of his 32 outs and has banked $222,104, and his stakes resume includes a second-place fi nish to Cross Chris Run in last year’s 1-mile,

$192,720 Rocky Gulch New Mexico Cup Championship (R) at Zia Park.

A homebred 5-year-old gelding by the late Robyn Dancer racing for Barbara M. Coleman of Farmington, New Mexico, Smash Dancer has earned $290,068 from 22 starts. Smash Dancer’s six career victories include the $182,690 New Mexico Cup Sprint Championship (R) at Zia Park and $40,000 Don Juan de Onate Stakes (R) at The Downs at Albuquerque in 2010.

Golden Gate Fields, Berkeley, CAGreat claim Hudson Landing wins $150,000 San Francisco Mile

Hudson Landing, claimed for $50,000 two months ago by owner Jared Chappel, upset multiple graded stakes-winner Jeranimo in the Grade 3 $150,000 San Francisco Mile at Golden Gate Fields Saturday.

Ridden by Juan Hernan-dez and trained by Blaine Wright, Hudson Landing won Northern California’s top turf race by a half-length over Jera-nimo in 1:37.29. Gallant Son, the runner-up in the 2011 SF Mile, fi nished third in the 2012 edition while making his fi rst start in eight months.

The SF Mile win, worth $90,000, was Hudson Land-ing’s third straight victory since being claimed by Chappel. A 5-year-old gelding, Hudson Landing has earned $129,500 in his three starts for the lucky owner.

“I’ve watched this horse for the past two years,” said Chappel. “I put in a claim twice (for $32,000 and $40,000) but lost the shake (a drawing to determine who gets the horse when multiple claims are put in for a runner) before I got him for $50,000.”


R A C E R E C A P SHudson Landing won

back-to-back allowance races at Golden Gate Fields before scoring his 8-to-1 upset in the SF Mile.

“He had to win a couple of times to try this race, and he did that,” said Chappel, who races his horses under the stable name Chappell Alpine Farms. “He loves this track and this grass. To be able to take a shot like this and have it pay off is amazing.”

Hudson Landing, who paid $19.60 to win, rallied from sixth in a fi eld of 10 to take the SF Mile.

“He relaxed and did every-thing perfect,” said Hernandez, who has been aboard Hudson Landing for the three-race winning streak. “When we were coming to the quarter pole I moved him outside and hit him, and he took off . He ran strong down the stretch.”

The SF Mile is the second stakes victory on the Golden Gate Fields lawn for Hudson Landing, who captured the Alcatraz Stakes on the grass in 2010. Overall, Hudson Landing has 10 wins, fi ve seconds, and three thirds in 29 career starts and $365,688 in earnings.

Jeranimo, an owner of four Grade 2 stakes victories, dropped back to ninth in the early stages of the SF Mile and came up just a bit short with his stretch rally. Jeranimo was being ridden for the fi rst time by Hall of Fame jockey Mike Smith, who next Saturday will ride top contender Bodemeis-ter in the Kentucky Derby.

“I didn’t have a very good trip,” said Smith. “I got him to relax but he relaxed a little bit too much. I got caught behind a bunch of horses that were stopping and I had take the overland trip and ended up going too wide. I think he was the best horse, but you have to

give the winner credit. He ran a very good race.”

So did Gallant Son, who was making his fi rst start since Aug. 17 and was beaten only 1 1/4 lengths by Hudson Land-ing.

“He ran a great race,” said jockey Leslie Mawing of Gal-lant Son. “I wish he’d had a race under his belt because then he would have been super tough.”

Remington Park, Oklahoma City, OKThird stakes win of season as A Toss Up handles Sooner State

A Toss Up has now won three stakes events this season at Remington Park, scoring the Grade 1,$100,000 Sooner State Stakes on Saturday night against Oklahoma-breds. The 3-year-old managed victory against eight foes, all older, just two weeks after a derby win.

Owned by the Cedar Hills, Texas partnership of James Sills and Abel Flores, A Toss Up is trained by Eddie Willis and was ridden in the Sooner State Stakes by Jimmy Brooks. It was the fi rst stakes win on A Toss Up for Brooks this season and he enjoyed the ride, fi nishing a neck better than the game mare Candy Cartel.

“He left well but the num-ber eight (Candy Cartel) left

right with us,” Brooks noted. “It was the two of us all the way. The last 100 yards (A Toss Up) just started to pull away under a hand ride.”

The loss for Candy Cartel ended her personal six-race winning streak that dated to May 29, 2011 at Remington Park. She fi nished a neck bet-ter than Chi Ter who was third. A Toss Up covered the 400 yards in :19.451 seconds over a fast track.

The Sooner State Stakes triumph stamps A Toss Up as the early leader in the race for Remington Park 2012 Horse of the Meeting. He won the Eastex Handicap in open com-pany against older runners on March 4, followed by his Rem-ington Park Derby win versus Oklahoma-bred 3-year-olds on April 14.

The 7-5 wagering favorite, A Toss Up paid $4.80 to win, $3 to place and $2.80 to show. Candy Cartel paid $4.40 to place and $3.40 to show. Chi Ter returned $3.20 to show.

A Toss Up is by Sweet First Down from the Corona Cartel mare Shake Cartel and he was bred in Oklahoma by James Sills. The Sooner State Stakes fi rst-place prize of $52,284 pushes the career earnings for A Toss Up to $272,572. In four starts this season he has accumulated $185,574.

The Sooner State Stakes with A Toss Up was the second at Remington Park for trainer Eddie Willis who won the race in 2003 with A Real Man. It was the fi rst win in the Sooner State Stakes for the other con-nections.

Jockey Ricky Ramirez

A Toss Up; below, winning connections


posted a riding triple Saturday night. He started his hat trick with Ocean Cruiser ($4.40 to win) in the fourth race, followed by Eye Tell ($8.40) in race six and then One Fun Okie ($8.20) in the fi nale, race 11. Ramirez now has 22 wins for the season.

Lone Star Park, Grand Prairie, TXEndorsement powers past rivals to take Texas Mile

Casner Racing’s Endorse-ment, a fi ve-year-old horse trained by Eoin Harty and ridden by Robby Albarado, powered past favored Canon-ize in deep stretch to win the 16th running of the Grade 3, $200,000 Texas Mile for three-year-olds and upward over a fast main track at Lone Star Park on Saturday.

A Grade 3 winner at three who was forced to the side-lines just prior to the 2010 Kentucky Derby, Endorsement has now won two consecutive races this year and provided Harty with his fi rst Lone Star stakes win since R Fast Lady in 2005.

“Even after his last, fi nal workout for Derby week, I still thought he was my best chance at that point,” recalled Albarado of Endorsement. “I’ve ridden quite a few Kentucky Derbies and I thought he was the one. Unfortunately he got injured, but the fortunate thing is he got back. He’s back healed again and is getting better and better, and Mr. Cas-ner gave me the opportunity to ride him again.”

Endorsement was able to save ground while stalking fractions of 23.70, 46.97 and 1:11.42, then was shifted off the rail by Albarado near the quarter pole after Victor Espi-noza, riding runner-up Canon-ize, had moved past him while

four wide around that turn.“I want to give full compli-

ments to a very professional jockey,” said Harty. “It was a very professional ride. I told Robby, put this horse on the lead and stay off the fence. Things didn’t work out that way when the gates opened. When you’ve got a cool rider, and experienced rider, you get these results.”

The $110,000 winners share of the purse boosted En-dorsement’s lifetime earnings over half a million dollars from four wins in eight career starts.

“It’s so much fun to win this race at Lone Star Park, in my hometown,” said owner Bill Casner. “This horse is a really special horse. He is a typical Distorted Humor. He’s got so much grit and try. He ran just an incredibly gritty race today, and Robby rode him to a tee. Just couldn’t be happier.”

Endorsement paid $7.00, $3.40 and $2.80, runner-up Canonize returned $2.80 to place and show, and Get in Da House paid $5.60 to show. Coyote Legend, Moonshine Mullin, Oak Motte, Omniscient, Lydia’s Last Step, Fifteen Love and Hurricane Ike completed the order of fi nish.

APRIL 27, 2012Delta Downs, Vinton, LATaylors Toastin Papa shines in Delta opener

After winning just twice in his fi rst 19 career starts, Taylors Toastin Papa has now won four in a row and six of his last seven outings after taking the $50,000 John Alle-man Memorial Stakes (RG) on Friday night to open the Delta Downs meet. The 5-year-old stallion by Toast To Dash won the Louisiana-bred event by a neck and stopped the timer


R A C E R E C A P S

Taylors Toastin Papa Dashaway Eagle

at :17.480 for 350 yards with Donald Watson aboard for trainer Kevin Broussard and owner Gerald Libersat.

Sent off as the 2-1 favorite after taking the Mr Jess Perry Louisiana Downs Stakes (RG3) in his last start, Taylors Toastin Papa picked up $30,000 for the win to push his bankroll to $157,541 with a record of 26-8-8-3. The sorrel was bred by Tay-lor VanBebber, the daughter of trainer Janet VanBebber and the late trainer Steve VanBeb-ber. Taylors Toastin Papa is out of the Streakin La Jolla mare Tacha La Jolla, who is a full sister to 2002 world champion Streakin Sin Tacha, a four-time Grade 1 winner owned and trained by Taylor’s mother.

Oscar Alcantara’s Heza Gonna Dash, a gelding by Heza Fast Dash, closed well to take second with Blue Louisi-ana Jolla in third for owners Elroy Potts Jr. and Watson Land and Cattle.

Turf Paradise, Phoenix, AZDashaway Eagle takes Spring Futurity

Alejandro Martinez’s Dashaway Eagle became a prime summer futurity prospect when she pushed his

record to two-for-two with a with a neck win in the $31,635 AQRA President’s Spring Open Futurity on Friday afternoon at Turf Paradise.

The fi rst stakes winner sired by champion One Fa-mous Eagle, Dashaway Eagle went to the lead while under a fi rm hold by jockey Rodolfo Arvizu and held Tahma Hawk safe to win as the 4-5 favorite. The Armando Castellanos-trained Dashaway Eagle raced the 300 yards in :15.838.

Yn Makario was one-and-one-half lengths back for third.

Dashaway Eagle earned her Spring Futurity favoritism with a dominating trial win in her career debut when she easily won her Spring Futu-rity trial by one-and-one-half lengths with the second-fast-est qualifying time of :16.05.

In the $58,805 Spring Derby, the race following the Spring Futurity, Feature Dash On crossed the fi nish line fi rst and was disqualifi ed and placed seventh. That disquali-fi cation moved Feather Two Livestock’s Jess Perfect Corona up to the win.

Bringin It On was moved up to second and Personal Mis-sion was awarded third through another disqualifi cation.

Jess Perfect Corona, a

daughter of Great Corona, was a head behind Feature Dashon, at the wire.

Trained by Monica Ortega, Jess Perfect Corona came into the derby after back-to-back wins. She won the ASOA Futurity in December and then came back from a four-month layoff to win her Spring Derby trial by one-and-one-half lengths.

Jess Perfect Corona has won four of nine starts.

Betfair Hollywood Park, Inglewood, CAUtopian earns fi rst stakes win

After tracking a slow pace

throughout, Utopian edged Smug in the fi nal strides to win the $98,000 Inglewood Handicap Friday at Betfair Hol-lywood Park.

The fi rst night program of the Spring/Summer meet also produced the season’s initial Pick Six carryover. The carryover for Saturday, which features the 13th California Gold Rush, is $65,323.

Post time is 1 p.m. The Pick Six will begin in the fi fth race, which is the $70,000 Grey Memo Stakes. Scheduled post time is 3:06 p.m.

The Grade 3 Inglewood was reduced to four starters after the earlier scratch of Acclamation, the prohibitive

Feature Dash On


morning line favorite and the champion older male of 2011.

Scheduled to make his fi rst start since winning the Clement L. Hirsch last Oct. 2 at Santa Anita, Acclamation, a 6-year-old son of Unusual Heat, was declared from the Inglewood after taking what trainer Don Warren termed “some bad steps’’ following a Thursday morning gallop.

“We’re not sure what was going on, but I saw what I saw and we can’t take any chanc-es,’’ said Warren, who trains Ac-clamation for owner-breeders Bud and Judy Johnston and Peter and Mary Hilvers. “He’ll go back to the track (Saturday) and we’ll see if he’s OK. We took x-rays and everything was nice and clean and cold.’’

In the Eclipse Award win-ner’s absence, Utopian earned his fi rst stakes win in his fourth attempt in a graded event. His best previous eff ort was a sec-ond – defeated by a head – in the Grade 2 San Marcos Stakes won by Slim Shadey Feb. 11 at Santa Anita.

Owned by Jerry and Ann Moss and trained by John Shirreff s, the 5-year-old Rock Hard Ten horse out of the Storm Cat mare Storm Alert prevailed by a head as the 2-1 second choice.

Giving Hall of Fame jockey Mike Smith his third Inglewood win in the last four years, Utopian completed the 1 1/8 miles on turf in 1:48.73. The victory was the dark bay’s third in 11 starts and pushed his earnings to $183,180.

Trying to provide Hall of Fame trainer Neil Drysdale with back-to-back wins in the Inglewood after he won with Liberian Freighter in 2011, Smug couldn’t quite hold after setting leisurely 25.75, 50.23 and 1:14 2/5 splits for the fi rst six furlongs.

Holladay Road, the 3-5 favorite, was 1 ½ lengths back in third and Haimish Hy, who has lost eight in a row since winning the 2010 Hollywood Derby, wound up 4 ½ lengths behind the public choice.

Now 2-for-3 over the Betfair Hollywood Park grass, Utopian paid $6.80 and $5.40. The place price on Smug was $6. There was no show wager-ing.

“It was a great win for him,’’ said Smith, who also took the 2009 Inglewood with Madeo – for Shirreff s and the Mosses – and again in 2010 with Gallant Son. “(Utopian) deserves something like this.

“He’s been running well. He just got beat by a head two

races back (San Marcos Stakes at Santa Anita) and was forced to make a real early move last time out (the San Luis Rey Stakes), so it was nice to come back today and get it done.

“They were going really slow and I knew it was go-ing to turn in to a sprint for home. I tried to move up on the leader early so I could get my momentum going and it worked.’’

Later in the evening, jockey Iggy Puglisi picked up his fi rst win at Betfair Holly-wood Park in 17 months when guiding 6-1 shot Woodman’s Lass to a come-from-behind score for trainer Paul Aguirre in the seventh.

The last local victory for Puglisi, 38, prior to Friday was with 28-1 outsider Ghost N Your Heart – also for Aguirre – in the fourth race Nov. 27, 2010.

A series of eight stakes races for horses bred or sired in California, the Gold Rush has purses totaling $1.11 mil-lion.

Saturday also will bring a Fans Choice Giveaway, a promotion which features some past giveaway items. The souvenirs are available one per paid admission while

supplies last.The two richest Gold

Rush events are the $300,000 Melair for 3-year-old fi llies and the $300,000 Snow Chief for 3-year-old colts and geldings. Both will be contested at 1 1/8 miles over Cushion Track.

Bejarano sworn in as U.S. citizen

Some two months after passing his test, jockey Rafael Bejarano was sworn in as a United States citizen Friday.

A 15-time riding titlist in Southern California, Bejarano, 29, was inducted in a cer-emony Friday in Louisville, Ky. before fl ying back to California so he could honor his mounts in the evening at Betfair Hol-lywood Park.

A winner of more than 2,700 races and over $123 million in purses, Bejarano was extremely proud of his status.

“I’m really happy,’’ he said. “It was a big step for me. There were about 400 others who became citizens.

“My good friend Julio Espinoza was there and so was Dante Zanelli, Jr., who brought me here to the United States. Dante lives in Kentucky now so he was happy to be there and enjoy everything with me.

APRIL 26, 2012Betfair Hollywood Park, Inglewood, CAAmerican Act overcomes turn issues in Henson; Bejarano, Delgadillo win pair on opening day

Despite drifting out badly entering the stretch, favored American Act was able to get up and defeat Senor Rain by a nose in the $72,350 Harry Henson Stakes on Thursday, opening day of Betfair Hol-lywood Park’s Spring/Summer meet.

Ridden for the fi rst time

by Rafael Bejarano, the 3-year-old Quiet American gelding earned his second win in six starts for Howard and Janet Siegel Racing LLC and trainer Jack Carava.

In a race switched from turf to Cushion Track due to earlier rain, American Act completed the six furlongs in 1:11.00. This was the fi rst time the Henson, named in honor of the legendary track announcer, had been run on something other than grass since Salish Shaman won under jockey Laffi t Pincay, Jr. in 1999.

Cutting back in distance after fi nishing seventh of 10 in the Grade 2 San Felipe Stakes March 10 at Santa Anita, the even-money choice was last in a closely bunched fi eld while in the clear after breaking from outside in a fi eld reduced to six starters.

However, with about a quarter of a mile to run, Ameri-can Act bore out and was seemingly out of the race.

Once the Henson par-ticipants straightened for the stretch, the Kentucky bred surged on the far outside and was able to edge the 9-2 third choice.

Out of the Boston Har-bor mare Revolutionary Act, American Act increased his earnings to $116,360. He paid $4, $2.60 and $2.10.

“He never showed signs

of doing anything like that before,’’ said Carava. “He’s never so much as got out a foot in the mornings, so it was a com-plete surprise. I don’t know what he was thinking or what made him do it.

“Luckily he’s the kind of horse who could overcome it. I kind of gave up hope. In the middle of the stretch, I thought he could be second.’’

Eighth of nine in the Grade 1 Santa Anita Derby in his prior outing April 7, Senor Rain, who fi nished 1 ¼ lengths in front of 3-1 second choice Consulado, paid $4 and $2.80. The show payoff on Consulado was $2.80.

Completing the order of fi nish were Chickie Charms, Sir Allison and Diamond of Blue.

Koast, the 5-2 second choice on Russ Hudak’s morning line, was scratched Thursday morning when the race was taken off the turf.

Passing Game was a veterinarian scratch prior to the start. According to Betfair Hollywood Park steward Tom Ward, the Game Plan colt was reported “off in the left front leg.’’

The Henson win was the second in four years for Bejarano, who had tallied with Backbackbackgone in 2009.

Besides Bejarano, who also won the fi fth with favored Caelis, the only jockey with more than one win was

Agapito Delgadillo.The veteran rider captured

the third with 6-1 shot Folk Dancer, then sprung a $106.60 shocker with Banana Split in the sixth.

The victory by Banana Split, a 3-year-old Posse fi lly who had been eased in her debut March 1 at Santa Anita, was the fi rst for trainer Beau Greely since Luv Dragon prevailed July 18, 2010, the fi nal day of the Spring/Sum-mer meet at Betfair Hollywood Park.

Sam Houston Race Park, Houston, TXAllure Sr fastest qualifi er in Bank of America Texas Maiden trials

Four trials for the $42,300 Bank of America Texas Maiden at Sam Houston Race Park were contested on Thursday evening.

Allure Sr recorded the fastest qualifying time, cover-ing 350-yards in :17.714 under jockey David Alvarez. The 4-year-old California-bred mare is owned by Gilberto Flores and trained by Janet VanBebber. Second-fastest clocking went to Im Jess A Cowgirl for owner Renee Verette and trainer Tara Smith. Jockey Luis Martinez guided the Feature Mr Jess fi lly to the wire in :17.779.
