LEMON DROP KID EMERGES AS A BROODMARE SIREBy Carly Silver

In terms of an emerging force as a broodmare sire, the 2016 season

has been the year of the kid: Lemon Drop Kid, that is.

The 20-year-old stallion, who stands at William S. Farish's Lane's End Farm in Versailles, Ky., sired the dams of two 2016 Breeders' Cup winners: Las Vegas Dirt Mile (gr. I) champ Tamarkuz and Filly & Mare Sprint (gr. I) winner Finest City.

He's also the broodmare sire of three more grade I winners this year: Frizette (gr. I) heroine Yellow Agate, Apple Blossom Handicap and Beldame Stakes (both gr. I) winner Forever Unbridled, and Woodford Reserve Turf Classic (gr. IT) victor Divisidero.

The son of Kingmambo—Charming Lassie, by Seattle Slew, currently ranks 31st (through Dec. 4) on the leading broodmare sires list, higher than many older standouts with more daughters and their foals. His daughters have foaled only 608 cumulative foals so far, one of the lower totals on the entire list and a fraction of his competitors' numbers.

His 1.6 AEI is comparable to 2016 leading broodmare sire Sunday Silence's 1.66. And the cumulative number of foals from Lemon Drop Kid's daughters is significantly less than even older sires or his higher-profile contemporaries, such as A.P. Indy or Distorted Humor. The latter two have percentages of runners to winners comparable to those of Lemon Drop Kid.

The Kid's Speedy GrandkidsBred by Farish and W.S. Kilroy in Kentucky, Lemon

Drop Kid exemplifies a long-striding, classic type. Winner of the Futurity Stakes (gr. I) at 2, the colt seemed to fly under the radar, capturing both the Belmont and Travers stakes (both gr. I) in 1999. At age 4, Jeanne Vance's Lemon Drop Kid would earn an older male championship by winning the Whitney Handicap and Woodward Stakes (both gr. I).

"In Lemon Drop Kid's case, he's gotten a number of good daughters. I think he is priced exceptionally well.

He's a very versatile stallion that again can get you all kinds of types and now he's producing daughters that are producing," said Lane's End director of stallion seasons and shares Chance Timm.

For example, 2006 Kentucky Oaks (gr. I) winner Lemons Forever produced both the aforementioned Forever Unbridled and her grade I-winning full sister, Unbridled Forever. In 2011, Lemon Drop Kid's grade I-winning daughter Christmas Kid topped the dispersal of her late owner-breeder, Edward P. "Ned" Evans, at $4.2 million. Her son Black Sea won an Irish stakes this year, while two of her other foals are group-placed.

Hank R. Nothhaft, breeder of Finest City in the name of his HnR Nothhaft Horseracing, was drawn to Lemon Drop Kid's record on the track. He stated he was "a strong believer in sire race records when you can get them." Lemon Drop Kid won graded races each season he raced, giving him hope for "precocious and long-enduring" offspring that could run far on a range of surfaces.

One of Nothhaft's sprint-type broodmares is currently in foal to Lemon Drop Kid, which Nothhaft hopes will yield a longer-bodied, "classic, two-turn foal." Timm agreed, and added, "Physically, I think he puts great structure in his progeny. They're exceptionally well-footed horses—great bone. I think that's a common characteristic of his progeny, and obviously that contributes to their soundness."

LEMON DROP KID EMERGES AS A BROODMARE SIRE (continued from page 3)

A Perfectly Potent PedigreeTom Hinkle of Hinkle Farms in Paris, Ky., purchased

Madame du Lac, a Lemon Drop Kid mare in foal to Kitten's Joy, at the 2011 Keeneland November sale; the resulting foal was turf star Divisidero. Although Hinkle was looking for mares in foal to Kitten's Joy at the time, "there was every reason to think Lemon Drop Kid might be a good broodmare sire with his pedigree," he recalled.

Timm enthused, "I think his female family is perhaps one of the best in the stud book and he's by a stallion who's also exceptionally well-bred, so I think it's a combination of his female family and his sire line that makes him an extremely potent stallion, both as a sire and a broodmare sire."

Indeed, Lemon Drop Kid's pedigree is rich in European and American talent. His sire, Kingmambo, was a French classic-winning son of Mr. Prospector. He was out of two-time Breeders' Cup Mile (gr. IT) winner Miesque. Also dam of French champion East of the Moon, Miesque is the ancestress of fellow Breeders' Cup Mile winners Karakontie and Six Perfections.

On his maternal side, Lemon Drop Kid boasts as his fourth dam the blue hen Missy Baba, who foaled 1980 champion sire Raja Baba and grade I winner Sauce Boat (himself broodmare sire of dual classic winner Tabasco Cat). Recent stars from this female family are 2011 Horse of the Year Havre de Grace, 2014 Belmont

winner Tonalist, and European champions Duke of Marmalade and Ruler of the World. Most importantly, Missy Baba was the third dam of grade III winner Weekend Surprise. A Secretariat half sister to Lemon Drop Kid's dam, Weekend Surprise foaled classic-winning half siblings Summer Squall and two-time leading sire A.P. Indy, both of whom also stood at Lane's End.

Nothhaft purchased Finest City's dam, the Lemon Drop Kid mare Be Envied, in foal to City Zip at the 2011 Keeneland November sale. Be Envied's enviable resume—she's a half sister to grade I winner Burning Roma—was complemented by her sire's pedigree, which Nothhaft described as full of "class, flawless, elegant, impeccable top and bottom." He added, "I think Lemon Drop Kid should get credit for producing horses that can run extremely well on all surfaces at classic distances."

Be Envied's 2-year-old, Grand Prix, added more luster to her damsire's record on Nov. 25, when she was just nosed out of a win in the Golden Gate Debutante Stakes.

"I think he's a little bit underappreciated as a stallion in general," Hinkle said of Lemon Drop Kid. "He was a good racehorse, he was sound, and I think a lot of the Lemon Drop Kids are sort of plain brown wrappers, so to speak. They're sound-looking horses, but they don't have that flash that some of the offspring of maybe an A.P. Indy. But gosh, it's just a strong, strong pedigree that he has, and it just makes plenty of sense (that he'd rise in the broodmare sire ranks)." BH

TEMPLE CITY'S DEL MAR GRADE I DOUBLEBy Ron Mitchellt @BH_RMitchell

When the Spendthrift Farm brass were having a backstretch chat with Chad Brown during the

week leading up to this year's Kentucky Derby Present-ed by Yum! Brands (gr. I), talk turned to Spendthrift's young third-crop sire Temple City.

Brown, whose perch atop North America's trainer ranks this year has been bolstered by his unerring success with grass horses, revealed that the best 3-year-old turf horse in his stable was actually Annals of Time, who was turned out at the time due to a few minor problems. Brown predicted that Annals of Time would eventually prove himself by winning a grade I stake.

On Dec. 4 the colt owned by Klaravich Stable and William Lawrence proved Brown to be prescient as he split horses nearing the eighth pole and kicked clear to defeat his grade I-winning stablemate Beach Patrol in the Hollywood Derby (gr. IT) at Del Mar.

"(Brown) said he was going to miss all the top 3-year-old turf races with him, but that he was a very, very talented horse and he would win a grade I with him," Spendthrift's Mark Toothaker said of Annals of Time. "He called this shot during Derby week. We're excited about what next year holds for that horse (Annals of Time)."

The impressive Hollywood Derby victory by Annals of Time over a more experienced field in only his fourth start came a day after Miss Temple City, another of the sire's offspring, scored her third grade I win of the year in the Matriarch over Del Mar’s turf course.

From only three crops of racing age, Temple City is showing signs of being an elite sire, especially of grass horses. The 11-year-old son of Dynaformer bred and raced by Spendthrift owner B. Wayne Hughes has been represented by eight black-type winners, seven of

which won stakes on grass."It's been crazy," Toothaker said of breeder interest

in Temple City as a result of the weekend successes. "On a weekend when (Temple City) has two grade I winners, he's certainly getting it done."

With books of 190 and 172 mares in 2015 and 2016, respectively, that were also of higher quality, there are high expectations for Temple City in the immediate future.

Those enhanced breedings the last two years were one reason for Spendthrift to drop back on Temple City's fee for next year to $10,000—$12,500 under the Breed Secure program—from $15,000 in 2016, said Toothaker.

"We knew we had a bit of lull in his book waiting for this crop that are weanlings of 2016 so that's why we took a little bit of a step back on his stud fee; we knew people were going to have to be patient with him," Toothaker said.

Rather than move the fee back up following the Dec. 3-4 weekend, Spendthrift is holding it at $10,000 but is no longer offering any 2017 seasons for Temple City under the Breed Secure program.

"We feel like it's going to be a bargain for anybody that’s got mares (in this price range)," he said. "This is a horse for $10,000 that you've got to use. Wayne's all about the breeders and giving breeders the best chance to make money. We feel like it's going to be a real good bargain." BH

CHARISMATIC GETS VISIT FROM LUKASBy Frank Angstt @BH_FAngst

Old Friends Thoroughbred Retirement Farm founder Michael Blowen said trainer D. Wayne Lukas got a

look in his eye at one point during a Dec. 4 visit to see new arrival Charismatic at the Georgetown, Ky. farm, and with a smile said, "Maybe we can run him again."

On a cold day in early December Lukas made the 1 1/2-hour trip from Louisville, Ky. to Georgetown to catch up with the son of Summer Squall that he'd saddled to a surprise victory in the 1999 Kentucky Derby (gr. I) and a follow-up Preakness Stakes (gr. I) win. The 81-year-old Racing Hall of Fame trainer was impressed with how well the 1999 Horse of the Year looked upon his return to Kentucky from JBBA Shizunai Stallion Station in Japan, where he had stood since 2003.

"It's very gratifying to know that through a 20-year span somebody really looked after that horse," Lukas said. "That was the gratifying thing that no matter what happened or where he went, it was really gratifying that somebody really looked after him. He has a July hair

coat; he just looks perfect."Charismatic suffered a career-ending injury to his

left front when he finished third to Lemon Drop Kid in the Belmont Stakes (gr. I). He stood for three seasons at Lane's End before being moved to Japan.

"His ankle where he had the surgery and everything. You could hardly tell," Lukas said. "They really took good care of him. That was an eye-opener for me. He was so well cared for evidently."

Blowen said Charismatic's arrival to the farm at about 6 p.m. ET, Dec. 3 marked a culmination of efforts that started about 10 years ago to bring him to Old Friends.

"It's just unbelievable, absolutely unbelievable," Blowen said. "It was really something."

Blowen said the chestnut bred in Kentucky by Parrish Hill Farm and William S. Farish has the personality to connect with visitors to the farm, which now boasts three Derby-Preakness winners as Charismatic joins War Emblem and Silver Charm.

"He's all that you could ask for and more," Blowen said. "He's kind, he's gentle; friendly. He's magnificent looking."

CHARISMATIC GETS VISIT FROM LUKAS(continued from page 8)

Blowen said Charismatic held up well on his trip from Japan, which went smoothly but was obviously demanding. It started with about a week-long quarantine in Tokyo. On the morning of Nov. 30, Charismatic left Tokyo on a five-hour flight that landed in Anchorage, Alaska. After a 90-minute layover there, another 5 1/2-hour flight to Chicago followed with Charismatic arriving in the Windy City.

He spent three nights in quarantine at Arlington International Racecourse before departing there the morning of Dec. 3 on a van to Old Friends, where he arrived at about 6 p.m. The ground transportation was donated by Sallee Horse Vans.

"He walked off that trailer like he came from a farm next door," Blowen said. "Not a hair out of place, not a neigh, nothing. I was like, 'Holy cow, this is unbelievable. He just settled right in like he was at home. He's really smart.

"I don't know what could ever top this; it's just amazing."

Blowen said the international trip was funded by

donations from the Lewis family and Texas-based vodka brand Tito's Handmade Vodka.

All three Derby-Preakness winners at Old Friends previously stood in Japan. Blowen said the farm has developed a great relationship with Japan's leading stallion farms. Rounding out the Old Friends' roster in terms of classic winners, the farm also boasts Belmont Stakes winners Sarava and Touch Gold.

During his visit, Lukas signed autographs that will be used in an Old Friends fundraiser and he jokingly feigned a lack of interest in seeing one other Old Friends dual-classic winner who was trained by Bob Baffert.

"That's such a wonderful facility and everyone is so devoted to what they do. It was a reminiscing time, I got carried away and started telling stories about Charismatic," Lukas said. "It was a fun three or four hours. It really was. At one point they said, there's Silver Charm and I said, 'That horse caused me too many heartaches, I'll pass on that one." BH

HOLIDAY DOUBLE FOR JACOBSBy Eric Mitchellt @BH_EMitchell

The Holiday Inaugural Stakes Dec. 3 at Turfway Park could have been a real heartbreaker for

owner/breeder David Jacobs.By a neck, his homebred Marquee Cal Gal

missed adding the title black-type stakes winner to her résumé and simultaneously raised the profile of her dam, Marquee Delivery, to the status of stakes producer.

Jacobs couldn't feel too badly, however. He also bred the winner, Marquee Miss, who is a full sister to his stakes-placed runner.

Both fillies are daughters of Pin Oak Stud's Cowboy Cal. Marquee Cal Gal is Marquee Delivery's first foal, while Marquee Miss is her third foal. Jacobs bred and raised Marquee Delivery, too, a multiple grade III-placed daughter of Marquetry.

Jacobs goes way back with this family—back to the sisters' third dam, Copelan's Girl, who was Jacobs first Thoroughbred, first racehorse, and first and only broodmare for years.

The former owner of a temporary help agency and home health care provider, Jacobs got into the Thoroughbred business as a favor to friend and trainer Joe Littrell. Jacobs also has been growing alfalfa on his farm near Stamping Ground in Central Kentucky and Littrell was a client. When the previous owner of Copelan's Girl decided to sell all his stock, Littrell pleaded with Jacobs to buy her. She is one of the trainer's favorites, having already won or placed in 11 races.

"I had not really thought about being in the horse business until he asked," said Jacobs, who bought Copelan's Girl for $5,000.

When his only racehorse retired, Jacobs bred her to Little Missouri and got a filly he named Fast Delivery. Under the care of trainer Betty Moran, Fast Delivery became a multiple stakes winner, taking consecutive editions of the My Charmer Stakes at Turfway in 2000-01 and winning the Likely Exchange Stakes, also at Turfway. She would earn $263,835.

Fast Delivery's first foal became winner Renegade Cielo (Conquistador Cielo) followed by Marquee Delivery and five other winners. Fast Delivery has a yearling colt by Stephen Got Even and had a filly by Twirling Candy this year. She is now in foal to Gemologist.

Jacobs bred Marquee Delivery to Cowboy Cal, a graded stakes winner and grade I-placed son of Giant's Causeway, on the advice of his trainer Phil Sims and Clifford Barry at Pin Oak. Sims and Barry are but part of Jacobs' team of advisers who have helped shape his breeding and racing venture.

They include Julie Rini, owner of Crowning Point Farm near Paris, Ky., where Jacobs boards all his stock; and Machmer Hall's Carrie Brogden, who Jacobs said also makes mating recommendations. Marquee Delivery has a yearling colt by Shackleford that sold for $37,000 at the Keeneland September sale to trainer Dale Romans, had a filly this year by Gemologist, and is back in foal to Tiznow.

"Breeding and racing was certainly more than I expected, but there is no bigger thrill than watching your horse coming down that stretch," Jacobs said, who now owns 13-14 horses. "I want to keep things small and just enjoy it. I'm sure I'll do this for the rest of my life." BH

INDUSTRY ASKS FOR H-2B VISA PROGRAM SUPPORTBy Frank Angstt @BH_FAngst

The National Thoroughbred Racing Association, through its involvement in the H-2B Workforce Co-

alition, has joined other organizations and businesses pushing to have the H-2B visa returning worker exemp-tion reinstated in a continuing resolution that is being drafted to fund the federal government through March 31, 2017.

Within the industry, horsemen's groups also are asking their members to reach out to lawmakers to support the resolution.

H-2B visas are used by employers to fill temporary, non-agricultural positions that they are unable to fill with domestic workers. Horse trainers and other industry participants use the H-2B visa program to hire grooms and other stable help. The H-2B visa program has an annual cap of 66,000 visas.

Qualified workers who complied with past visa requirements and worked in the program during one of the preceding three years will be excluded from the cap through the returning worker exemption. The NTRA is asking industry members to contact congressional leadership immediately and express the horse industry's concerns and the need to reinstate the H-2B visa returning worker exemption.

The National Horsemen's Benevolent and Protective

Association and Kentucky HBPA are encouraging members to reach out to lawmakers.

"The exemption is key because those workers don't count against the H-2B's quota of 66,000 visas to come legally to the U.S. to work in seasonal jobs that Americans don't want for the most part," the National HBPA said in a letter to members. "Finding labor to take care of our horses will become a nightmare without these men and women (and it's not just racing impacted). Time is of the essence as Congress is expected to vote on this within days."

"This important provision allows temporary migrant workers to be in the U.S. legally for 10 months a year, return to their home country for two months, and legally return to work on Kentucky horse training facilities and racetracks," the Kentucky HBPA stated in a letter to members. "As it becomes more difficult for the horse industry to find labor, failing to reinstate the H-2B Returning Worker Exemption will worsen the problem and the impact will be felt across the horse industry."

The Thoroughbred Owners and Breeders Association forwarded an email to its members asking for support of the resolution.

The NTRA and horsemen's groups suggest calling Sen. Mitch McConnell at 202-224-2541 and Rep. Hal Rogers at 202-225-4601 in Washington and asking for the person who handles H-2B issues. The NTRA said it's important to emphasize that a failure to reinstate the H-2B returning worker exemption before March of next year will hurt horse racing and agriculture industries

and result in the loss of critical jobs.For those with Twitter accounts,

industry groups suggest tweeting #saveH2B to @SenateMajLdr and @RepHalRogers with the following message: "Include H-2B returning worker exemption in CR-critical horse racing and agriculture jobs are at stake!" In separate tweets with the same message, you may also consider tagging other members of Congress and @HouseAppropsGOP.

The Kentucky Equine Education Project also encourages reaching out to legislators. KEEP has provided a link to register opinion on the program. BH

TRACK MAINTENANCE INTERNSHIPS BEING OFFEREDBy BloodHorse Staff

College students with an interest in racing surfaces could find a steppingstone into the industry through

new internships being offered.Innovative Equine Marketing, which provides

manufacturer discounts to the horse world through its Equine Equipment program, announced Dec. 5 it is launching internships for college students interested in the field of racetrack maintenance and getting on course to being a track superintendent.

The first internship scholarships for 2017 have been awarded to Keeneland in Lexington, and Hollywood Gaming at Mahoning Valley Race Course in Youngstown, Ohio. Seed money for the internships will be provided by Equine Equipment.

"This is just my idea to give back to the industry and to support the racing facilities and the tracks that support me," said Innovative Equine Marketing founder and life-long racing enthusiast Steve Andersen. "Maybe a University of Kentucky 'ag' student doesn't want to work in soybeans, corn, and tobacco. But he likes dirt, likes equipment, and likes being outside. We want to give them the opportunity to see the wonderful world of being a track superintendent."

Andersen is working with the University of Kentucky and Youngstown State University to provide candidates for the internships at Keeneland and Mahoning Valley. Keeneland track superintendent Javier Barajas and Mahoning Valley track superintendent R.J. Moore will then pick the recipients.

"Keeneland is excited to be able to offer this internship to introduce college students to race-track maintenance and encourage them to pursue a career as a track superintendent," Barajas said. "With a dirt track, turf course, and all-weather training track at Keeneland, a student will receive a unique opportunity to learn about the maintenance of three different surfaces."

Mark Loewe, vice president for racing operations at Mahoning Valley, applauded a program that will give smart and motivated students the opportunity to learn under the direction of two of the best track superintendents in the business.

"It's a great idea. As an industry I think we should be looking at more internships for other positions," Loewe

said. "Working race tracks is a science, certainly not something that anybody can walk in off the street and do. It's a great idea if we can get some young people interested in it. And it's a very interesting profession, to say the least."

Other tracks can apply for a 2018 Equine Equipment Track Internship by contacting Andersen at steve@equineequipment.com or (877) 905-0004, as well as by visiting him and Equine Equipment's display at the University of Arizona Race Track Industry Program's Dec. 5-7 Global Symposium on Racing and Gaming at Tucson's Loews Ventana Canyon Resort.

"These guys are the hardest-working guys on the track," Andersen said of track superintendents. "There are many of them working the track all night long so it doesn't freeze. It's not a question of 'What time are you coming home?' It's 'Are you coming home tonight?' They're often expected to hold equipment together with fishing line, duct tape, and gum and hope it holds up because they're not going to get the budget to do or buy more. And sometimes it's 'Don't spend too much on the gum.'

"It's a tough business, and track supers have to fight to get the equipment they need and get the very best value and take care of it. They have to appease the horsemen and appease management." BH

From two crops to race Gone Astray sired four black-type stakes winners including Three Rules, a four-time stakes winner this year. He swept the three divisions of the Florida Sire Stakes at Gulfstream Park by a combined 22 1/2 lengths, joining a list that includes Smile, Fort Loudon, Big Drama, and Jackson Bend. Three Rules is 2016's leading 2-year-old by number of stakes wins and is ranked fifth by earnings.

ROCKRIDGE'S POSSE TO STAY IN URUGUAYBy BloodHorse Staff

Rockridge Stud, near Hudson, N.Y., announced Dec. 5 that its star stallion

Posse will not return to the U.S. in 2017.Posse (Silver Deputy—Raska, by Rahy)

was purchased earlier this fall by Haras Rapetti in Uruguay, where the stallion is currently standing for the Southern Hemisphere breeding season along with Honour and Glory and Midas Touch. Attempts were made to bring the stallion back to New York for the 2017 breeding season; however, the parties could not come to terms.

"We are very disappointed, Posse was an important horse in New York and he had a big year," said Lere Visagie, owner and manager of Rockridge Stud.

Posse has five stakes winners in 2016, including TwinSpires.com Breeders' Cup Sprint (gr. I) third-place finisher Mind Your Biscuits. His Royal Posse won the Dec. 3 Claiming Crown Jewel Stakes at Gulfstream Park after taking the Empire Classic Handicap Oct. 22 at Belmont Park. Posse was the leading sire in New York

from 2009-12 and has been amoung the leading sires there from 2013-15. He ranks second behind Freud for 2016.

Rockridge also announced stallion fees for their seven other stallions.

Both D' Funnybone and Giant Surprise were represented by two stakes winners apiece in 2016, while Honorable Dillon's first crop of foals were well-received at auction, selling for as much as $45,000, with an average of more than $18,000. Soaring Empire has two winners from just seven starters in 2016 and is third on the state's freshman sire list by progeny earnings.

Micromanage will have his first foals in 2017, and Trinniberg will have his first 2-year-olds in 2017. Millionaire newcomer War Dancer will have limited availability for lifetime breeding rights. BH

TATTERSALLS HAS RECORD YEARBy Clive Webb-Carter

Tattersalls 250th anniversary year concluded last week with a fitting record turnover of 265,519,379

guineas (US$354,879,000), which surpassed the previ-ous 2014 record by 2,108,206gns ($2,817,710).

In total, Tattersalls offered 6,000 lots in 2016 through 12 sales with an overall average of 53,869gns ($72,000), which also exceeds the 2014 record.

Tattersalls flagship sale, the October yearling Book 1 sale, highlighted that demand for European bloodstock at the top end of the market has never been stronger, with the record turnover for the sale at 88,038,000gns ($117,667,000). Headed by a pair of Dubawi colts bringing 2,600,000gns ($3,475,020), nine lots sold for over a million guineas.

However, Europe's foal crop has grown significantly in recent years, with 2015 British/Irish foal crop reaching a combined total of 13,246, which is a 11% increase from 2012's combined crop of 11,912.

Tattersalls managed their 2016 catalogues carefully, and in particular last month’s foal sale, which saw the sale revert to its four-day format. While the sale gross was 9% lower than the previous year at 30,568,350gns ($40,855,975), the clearance rate improved by 3% to 78% when 743 of the 957 offered foals were sold.

With the 2016 British and Irish foal crop likely to be as much as 6% greater than the previous year, Tattersalls and Europe's other sales companies will have to work hard to keep Europe's bloodstock demands as they have enjoyed over that last 12 months. BH

RACING

NO KNOCKS ON WOODBy Bob Barry

In the interest of full disclosure, this week's column begins with the story of a family

get-together that was celebrated about 20 years ago on an April Saturday across several tables at the Equestris Restaurant on the third floor of the clubhouse at Aqueduct Racetrack.

At one of these tables sat my mother with one of her nephews and an adorable grand-niece, who looked up from her Wood Memorial program toward a talkative cousin of her father and asked—in that perfectly reasonable and innocent way that children have—what did Eugene Wood (the child's great-great-grand-uncle) do to get such a fancy horse race as his namesake.

That talkative cousin of her father was suddenly at a loss for words. Apparently the available information in the program (racing enthusiast, founder of the old Jamaica Racetrack) was insufficient in sating the girl's precocious intellect. Attempting to nip her curiosity in the bud, I suggested that Wood had been a ward heeler, hoping that the sound of this archaic term might conjure up someone who performed miraculous cures on afflicted people in need of help.

But my attempt at quelling the child's restive inquisitiveness only served to pull my cousin's head from his Racing Form to launch a stout defense of his mother's grand-uncle. In a brief debate, we bandied about terms such as "politician," "lobbyist," "Tammany Hall guy," and "fixer," before agreeing that Eugene Wood was a good and very influential man.

The great racing writer Joe Palmer once wrote "a prejudiced witness is all right, if you know what

his prejudices are." With this disclosure of my by-marriage link to branches of Eugene Wood's family tree, allow me to join the chorus of those decrying the decision to demote the Wood Memorial from grade I to grade II status.

It's not that I care deeply about the process of grading stakes races. These decisions have a much greater impact on owners and trainers and breeders than on mere horseplayers. Besides, these changes in grading run both ways. The Wood was similarly downgraded after the 1994 running, only to be restored to the top shelf eight years later, following winning efforts by the likes of Unbridled's Song, Coronado's Quest, and Fusaichi Pegasus.

My gripe with the downgrade is a cocktail of concerns: one part personal (see above), one part parochial (I'm a New Yorker), and one part strategic (as follows).

Now is not the time for the memory of a man such as Eugene Wood to be downgraded. In this era of broken government, the need for good and very influential people in Albany and elsewhere to advance the cause of Thoroughbred racing is greater than ever. Horseplayers need a healer: someone who can perform a miraculous cure on afflicted people in need of help. BH
