Editor's Notes By Stephanie J. Corum

It looks like we may have some rivalries brewing. At Arapahoe Park in Colorado, Sammy V and Uptown Dannys Boy are going at each other. Uptown Dannys Boy is considerably younger than Sammy V, but the old man loves Arapahoe Park and can still turn on the speed. Meanwhile Thess Is Awesome upset reigning Horse of the Year Paddy's Day in the Grade 1 HH Sheikha Fatima Bint Mubarak Darley Awards S. at Santa Anita, but Paddy's Day turned the tables on him in a high end allowance race at Delaware Park. Let's hope these horses take aim at each other a few more times this year. Rivalries are good for racing and since stakes caliber Arabians typically race longer than stakes caliber thoroughbreds we have time to watch them develop and pick our favorite. And even better it's not out of the realm of possibilities that we see all four of these horses go to post against each other. Whose corner are you in? For as much fun as rivalries are, we need the races to develop and sustain them, and our industry is still feeling the hurt of not enough race horses. As of this writing, Hazel Park has yet to fill a race. Arapahoe Park's fields are short and the California Fair circuit ran a maiden race with just three after two were scratched. That is not good for business. Delaware Park is filling races, and you can understand why horseman are going there. They have the best purses in the country. However, not every horse there is a stakes or allowance horse and for the fields to be competitive, Delaware Park need to have some claiming races. That should be the backbone of our industry, but to this day some Arabian owners are hesitant to run their horses in claiming races for fear of losing them. Still, Delaware Park needs to write and fill claiming races to complete their meet. And finally, our industry continues to struggle with online wagering. Many people are not able to bet on Arabians via their computer. This certainly doesn't help our situation. Kathy Smoke and the AJC board are trying to get someone to take action on this, but once again it is difficult. Oh, and then there is the entire Equibase issue, but I won't get into that. Skip ahead to Joe Nevill's column to read about that one. Suffice it to say Arabian racing faces many road blocks, but we are a persistent bunch and as Kathy said to me, "We aren't going to go away quietly."

COLORADO

Arapahoe Park in Aurora, Colorado is responding strongly to a positive test result for Equine Infectious Anemia (EIA) in the racetrack’s barn area. According to the Colorado Department of Agriculture website, the horse in question was “a non-racing horse” who “has been in Colorado less than 60 days and came from an out-of-state track.” “It appears that the horse was infected prior to coming to Colorado and previously tested negative for the disease in May of 2015,” the Colorado Department of Agriculture said in a release. “Because the disease is most commonly spread by biting flies and it is very early in Colorado’s fly season, the risk of disease transmission to other horses at the track appears to be relatively low.” Arapahoe Park, in cooperation with the Colorado and U.S. departments of agriculture and the Colorado Division of Racing Events, has placed the horse with the positive Coggins Test used to detect EIA in isolation and has quarantined the facility. No horse will be allowed to enter or leave Arapahoe Park until the quarantine is lifted. Racing is scheduled to proceed with horses already at Arapahoe Park. “We are trying to be as proactive as possible to make sure this remains an isolated case,” Arapahoe Park executive director Bruce Seymore said. EIA is a viral disease spread by biting flies such as horse flies or deer flies that affects equine animals only. It does not affect humans. Horses must be tested annually with a Coggins Test prior to traveling between states.

DELAWARE/MARYLAND Very close to Delaware Park is Fair Hill Natural Resources Management Area. On May 10, 2016, Maryland Governor Larry Hogan signed into law the bill entitled “Horse Racing - Fair Hill - Arabian Breed Racing Authorization”. This bill authorizes a licensee at the Fair Hill Natural Resources Management Area to conduct 8 days of live racing of Arabian breed horses under the following conditions: 1) the purse for an Arabian breed race is funded by the licensee or the sponsor of the race 2) specified takeout provisions apply 3) the licensee pays specified taxes and fees 4) and the race is approved by the Maryland Racing Commission. 8 • Arabian Finish Line • July 2016

The following was the official comment from the Maryland Horse Industry Board: “Maryland’s Horse Industry Board currently promotes equestrian activities and the use of horses for recreation through promotional activities that create awareness and visibility for the equine industry, educational and research projects to benefit the equine industry, and developmental efforts, such as job training programs, facilities planning and export marketing to stimulate the growth of the local horse economy. Currently housed within the Department of Agriculture, this strong partnership continues to grow. These horse racing bills promote and raise the level of public awareness of Maryland’s equine traditions. The Arabian horse breed has a long standing history here in Maryland with the breed’s first race on a parimutuel track at Laurel Park in 1959. Allowing additional breeds and racing events to occur at Fair Hill will bring extra awareness to Maryland’s strong and growing equine industry.” While the passing of the Fair Hill legislation is a promising move for the Arabians, there remains the issue of simulcast wagering on Arabians in Maryland, mainly that Maryland residents are not able to do so. When the President of the U.A.E. Cup S. (Gr.1) was held on the Preakness undercard in 2013, special legislation needed to be passed to allow wagering. Still, it was confusing to the betting public and there was not nearly as much money bet on the race as there could have been. Kathy Smoke, President of the Arabian Jockey Club, had the opportunity to address this issue with Keith Brackpool of the Stronach Group last week at the World Arabian Horse Racing Conference in Rome, Italy. Mr. Brackpool spoke of the legislative frustrations he has had with wagering in California and mentioned that, when required, he managed to have the legislation changed in 90 days, which is quite a feat. He assured the audience that he would do what was necessary so that Maryland residents could do simulcast wagering on Arabian races. This is absolutely necessary before we can consider staging Arabian races at Fair Hill. After the session, both Kathy Smoke and Stephanie Corum spoke briefly with Mr. Brackpool. Both ladies gave him their business cards and told him that they would be at his disposal to help in any way possible. Mr. Brackpool was very polite and professional. With Kathy heading up the AJC and Stephanie now a part of the racing community in Maryland, the two ladies will continue to monitor the situation and work with everyone to make Arabian racing in Maryland a reality.

TEXAS Texas Administrative Code - Coupled Entries (a) Not more than two horses that have common interests through ownership, training, or lease may be entered in an overnight race, unless the race is divided. (b) Except as provided by subsection (c) of this section, if two horses entered in a race are owned in whole or in part by the same individual or entity, the entry shall be coupled as a single wagering interest. (c) In stakes races, the stewards may allow two or more horses owned in whole or in part by the same individual or entity to race as separate wagering interests.

I told Stephanie, our illustrious publisher, that I was beginning to run out of old columns to reprint and asked her for ideas. She suggested that I consider doing some "What Ever Happened To" type stories about the old timers who are no longer involved in racing. In last month's column I mentioned Fred Cox, our former co-conspirator in presenting the Daryl Awards during the Darley weekends. I hadn't talked to Fred and Joy for many years, so I gave them a call to say hello and catch up with them. I am glad to report that they are doing well. Joy (at the age of 75) is still a dedicated horse person, riding and practicing Natural Horsemanship as popularized by Monty Roberts, Pat Parelli, and others who do not use fear and pain to train a horse. Fred still plays golf once or twice a week (but was a bit evasive about his handicap) and keeps the farm looking great. Although I had written about Fred and Joy several times over the years, they reminded me of several stories I had probably heard and forgotten. This column is a compilation of all that. For those who never knew Fred and Joy, I hope this serves as a history lesson about the early days of Arabian racing. For their old friends, I hope this brings back fond memories.

Latin persistere 1. to go on resolutely or stubbornly in spite of opposition or warning beyond a usual, expected or normal time - crazy ('kra-ze) adjective from the Latin uno cardi shorta full decke - 1. faulty thought or action, 2. passionately preoccupied with desire or excitement, 3. insane.

In 1984 a young woman came into Dr. Fred Cox's dental office in need of a root canal. Not having enough money, she offered to trade a pregnant Arabian mare in lieu of payment, which Fred and Joy accepted. In 1985 the mare produced twins, but only one survived. Fred's patient offered to breed the mare back again, and in 1986 she produced what Joy described as a beautiful colt. Fred, however, said that the colt was too ugly to show and they would just have to race him. Using an English/Arabic dictionary they looked up the name SWIFT RACER, which translated into SHAHIL RAKKAD. Under the hands of thoroughbred trainers Howard and Jeanie Edwards (with whom they remain close), "Racer" was one of the top horses of his day, beating such notables as Magna Terra Smoky (three times, Fred will point out), Charlie Valentine, and Sambors Image, among others. He was a multiple stakes winner and track record holder, who Fred believes never got the recognition or awards he deserved ("politics" he says). For those who remember, SHAHIL RAKKAD was easy to spot in a race, as he always ran with his head straight up in the air.

Although the meet did not meet Fred's own high expecta-

Back in the day, Florida was a hub of Arabian racing. Bob Van Hoose was an early pioneer, followed by a dedicated group that included Vicki and Jay Klein, Bill Waldron, Dianne Waldron, Oliver Bardes, Russ Miller, and others. (I apologize to the many I have failed to recognize, or more accurately, fail to remember). By 2000, Florida racing, like much of the industry, was in decline. Fred, however was both persistent (and a bit crazy) in his efforts to revive racing at Tampa Bay Downs, which many believed was beyond hope. He convinced the Arabian Racing Cup Stewards to place a $1,000 premium on each race, got Tampa Bay officials to eliminate stall rent for Arabians, redistributed stakes money into the overnights, and then endlessly lobbied (bugged, bothered and berated without shame) owners, trainers and officials to help support the meet.

In 2001 I wrote about Fred: From Webster's Dictionary - persist (per-'sist) verb from the

35 out of a hoped-for 40 races, and Fred is looking forward to next year when there will be an increase in Florida-bred money added to each race. You can expect to be lobbied. It was with great anticipation, that the Cox's bred his traded-for-a-root-canal mare to Mellon, which resulted in the handsome colt, Rare Chance, named after a dearly departed Schnauzer. The Cox's high hopes for Rare Chance were well justified, as he won his first time out in blazing speed. Then he bled. Then he bowed. So it goes. Of course, since the theme of this column is persistence, you may have guessed that Fred was not satisfied with turning Rare Chance into a pleasure horse, (although Joy was totally comfortable with that idea). So as a six year old, Rare Chance returned to the track. The Cox's high hopes for Rare Chance were rewarded when he won his first time back. Then he pulled a hamstring, and then he bowed. So it goes.

After recovering from his second bow, Rare Chance became a very special friend and riding mount for Joy. His leg held up well and was tested regularly as Rare Chance would "race" cars as they drove by his long paddock. It was when he started beating those cars that Fred starting thinking about giving him another shot. Joy had strong objections, but when the vet at Ocala Equine Hospital gave him a clean bill of health, Fred won his case. Last summer Joy began his training program and gave him hundreds of miles of foundation. Fred's high hopes for Rare Chance were well justified, as just last week, as a nine year old, he won a $10,000 claimer at Tampa. His tendon is tight and cold and he's on his way to Delaware. Persistent? Crazy? I don't know, you tell me. Is Florida racing doomed? Can a horse come back after two bows? Is the industry in a downhill slide? Are we just fooling ourselves about Arabian racing? The naysayers have their point of view. Then there's Fred. Epilogue. Fred and Joy retired from racing in 2009 after having their last Arabian race horse go bust. He was in training for 3 years, raced 16 times, for a total of one second and one third. Total earnings $2,501.00. Where were you Howard Edwards when they needed you? He is now Joy’s backup fun, pleasure horse and is doing a winning job with that effort. Being committed to traditional bloodlines, they also believed that they could not compete with the French. Perhaps if HARC existed at that time, they may have continued.

Fred and Joy were part of the Arabian racing's history. They, along with many others with a love for the Arabian horse, are in part responsible for where we are today. I thank them for their effort and their friendship. 11 • Arabian Finish Line • July 2016

Follow Joe on Twitter at @DRFNevills Full disclosure before we dive into this: I work for the Daily Racing Form, a competitor with Equibase for various products and services in the horse racing information market. I use both sites for different purposes, but this is not meant to be an endorsement or denouncement of either site, simply commentary on a bigger issue. In recent months, Equibase has rolled out an overhaul of its website that included expanded statistics for Thoroughbred and Quarter Horse races to better integrate and identify the two on its site and drastically expand how Quarter Horse statistics are presented in its “Stats Central” service. As a fan of the breeds beyond Thoroughbred racing, this was quite the revelation. Finally, we had a more complete picture of a jockey or trainer’s body of work beyond the most visible breed. Suddenly, a trainer that may appear to linger on the fringes with a handful of sporadic Thoroughbred starts could have a fuller public resume if they excelled in the Quarter Horse realm. There was just one problem – The Arabian breed didn’t get invited to the party. Worse yet, the racing Arabian’s presence was scaled back on the site. Prior to the upgrade, the races did not get counted toward the connections’ lifetime starts, wins, or earnings, but the horses themselves were searchable, and comprehensive information could be found for his or her on-track career. It wasn’t perfect, but it was useful. After the changes, Arabians are still searchable, but the horse’s page only provides the horse’s date of birth, sex, pedigree, and breeder. Everything else that used to be there now makes the horse appear to be an unraced maiden. Charts are still available for Arabian races, but have to be found manually. On one hand, the Arabian folks should consider themselves fortunate. I’m not sure if the racing mules had their own profile pages before the switch, but they sure don’t now. On the other hand, this is a rather troubling indicator of how the racing Arabian breed is perceived by the industry at large. The Arabian breed admittedly makes up a small percentage of the overall number of races run in North America. There are no tracks dedicated to Arabian racing in North America, and the

national population of horses in training might not fill all the stalls on the Churchill Downs backside. It’s not hard to see how the breed could go overlooked if the only options for data input were “Thoroughbred” or “Quarter Horse,” and it just wasn’t prudent to add an “Arabian” field. Since I don’t have a direct line to the decision-makers at Equibase, though, any speculation I’d have on why the numbers went away would be just that – speculation. Still, these races aren’t exhibitions, and being overlooked when a major body like Equibase is tallying up the numbers isn’t helpful in dispelling that notion when the breed shows up on a major card. If a pari-mutuel race by an approved breed takes place at a recognized track, it ought to count uniformly in the eyes of the record-keepers. Arabian racing in North America is making excellent strides in awareness, with prominent positioning on big race days, longlasting stars that fans are rewarded for following over the course of several years, and international recognition with big performances overseas. To put it bluntly, if you don’t like So Big Is Better, you don’t like horse racing, and more people are starting to realize it. A change like this doesn’t take the horses off the track, or bounce the checks from the purses, but it can make learning about an Arabian racehorse a good deal harder, and the breed can be hard enough to find in the first place. In early June, the Arabian Jockey Club sent out an email explaining the situation, what is being done, and what can be done by users looking for ways to access statistics on Arabian racing. The Cliff’s Notes version goes something like this… 1. The AJC has spoken with the folks at Equibase about the changes and is working toward making sure the breed will be added at a point in the future to be determined later. An endeavor like that takes money, but the email indicated that a possible sponsor was in play. 2. Arabian race data was still in the Equibase system, but the new software did not permit it to be displayed free of charge, as the Thoroughbreds and Quarter Horses are. That’s encouraging, as it implies there shouldn’t be a statistical gap if and when the

Equine Acupuncture: 40 Years of Growth from a 2000 Year-Old Tradition

client once asked me what she could give to her horse to get him calm enough to focus without being dull when he went into the show ring. I told her that I could do a few acupuncture treatments that could get him to focus better. ”No medication,” she said. ”No,” I replied. Later she told me that he gave her his best performance ever. It’s all in the Qi!

Acupuncture is one of the oldest systems of medicine in the world. It has been practiced in China for at least 2000 years and in Japan and Korea for about 1500 years. During the past 40 years, there has been tremendous growth and development of acupuncture in horses in Europe and the United States. I have had folks ask me to please explain what acupuncture is and what it does for their horse. Here ya go!!! Acupuncture is based on the theory that meridians run over the body, each with several points along it that correspond to parts of the body. Energy, called Qi (pronounced ‘chee’), runs along those meridians much like electricity through a circuit. If an injury or other problem interrupts the flow of energy, the system goes out of balance and causes pain and illness. Acupuncture goes into points (by the way there are 361 acupuncture points, referred to as “acupoints”) along the meridians (14 of those) and opens them up,

allowing the energy, the Qi, to flow freely again. That relieves the pain and restores balance, thus allowing the body to heal itself more efficiently. While humans, at least in the West and those ”left brain” educated, have trouble understanding and believing the medical relevance of Qi and balance, horses seem to catch on quickly. In the horse, many techniques have been developed to stimulate “acupoints,” these include dry-needle, electro-acupuncture, aqua-acupuncture, hemo-acupuncture, pneumo-acupuncture, laser acupuncture, and moxibustion. Dry-needle is the most common treatment modality. A dry needle is inserted into an acupoint for stimulation of that point. Electro-acupuncture involves the attachment of electrical leads to dry-needles and connecting them to the electro-acupuncture machine. This technique allows more effective stimulation than the dry-needle alone. Aqua-acupuncture is the injection of a sterile medium into the acupoints. The most commonly injected substances are saline or vitamin B12, for the purpose of providing a constant stimulation via the pressure induced by the liquid injected into the acupoint. Hemoacupuncture involves inserting a hypodermic needle into a blood vessel that contains an acupoint in order to remove a few drops of blood. This technique allows heat to be released from the body. Pneumo-acupuncture injects

13 • Arabian Finish Line • July 2016

air into an acupoint. The pressure created by the air causes stimulation of the acupoint. Laser acupuncture stimulates the acupoint with low-intensity, non-thermal laser irradiation; this is an excellent method for those horses that maybe needle-shy. Moxibustion (also called moxa) is a form of stimulation that works by warming the acupoint and thus causing activation of the point. Traditionally, it uses dried leaves of Artemisia argyi rolled into a cigar shape. The “cigar” is burned and held above the acupoint for a few seconds. More recently, electric moxa therapy uses infrared heat and offers the same qualities of burning moxa. The warming effect causes stimulation of the acupoint. Acupuncture is an excellent modality for keeping your race horse in great condition, as well as for treating illness. Performance horses can suffer from exercise-related conditions such as musculoskeletal soreness, and tendon and ligament injuries. Acupuncture can treat these conditions by relieving pain and promoting healing in the affected areas. Horses suffering from conditions such as cervical pain, back pain, and soft tissue injury can benefit from acupuncture treatment because it produces an analgesic effect, generally called acupuncture analgesia. If you follow the way of Western medicine’s explanation of acupuncture analgesia, the release of endogenous opioids, endorphins, serotonins and norepinephrine may be one of the pathways in which acupuncture relieves pain and decreases inflammation.

You should wait a few hours after training or racing sessions before beginning any acupuncture treatment. Be cautious when using hemo-acupuncture in the winter as it could lead to excess cooling of the body. Moxibustion used in the summer might induce too much heat, and you should never insert a needle directly into a tumor…You don’t want to give those tumors energy to grow! A major benefit of acupuncture in the racehorse is that no drugs are used to provide an effect. However, because acupuncture offers such powerful positive and lasting effects, many race tracks have placed it on their list of prohibited practices. While we may not fully comprehend the ability of acupuncture to balance the body and allow it to heal, there is no disputing the positive scientific results on its use in healing. Although they might not openly confess to using acupuncture on their horses, even the most diehard traditional racehorse trainers see that their horses feel better, recover more quickly, and perform better. Acupuncture is a great addition to any health and wellness management program for your horse.

Compared to many of the other therapeutic modalities, acupuncture is actually much safer because of the dual-direction regulation. This means that when an acupoint is stimulated, the physiological response induced matches the body’s need at that time. An example of this would be the two acupoints that address gastrointestinal motility. These points may be used in either a horse that is constipated or one that has diarrhea. Although a relatively safe treatment, there are some precautions that should be noted before treating a horse with acupuncture.

Laser accupuncture is one effective form of treatment.

Making Claims continued.

Arabians are re-introduced onto Stats Central. 3. Race data is still being collected by the AJC, and many things are available for free on its website. Subscription-only information was still undergoing updates when the email was sent out on June 3, but the data was still available by contacting the AJC. The website updates were near completion at the time of the email. My hope is this column is obsolete by the time the magazine hits your doorstep, and the wheels are in motion to get full Arabian profiles back onto Equibase. I might work for the other team, but I understand the importance of data and exposure, and this hits right where the two intersect. 14 • Arabian Finish Line • July 2016

WORLD ARABIAN HORSE RACING CONFERENCE ROME, ITALY May 26 - 29, 2016

16 • Arabian Finish Line • July 2016

Hundreds of people from all over the world came together in Rome to celebrate the Arabian Race Horse at the World Arabian Horse Racing Festival sponsored by HH Sheikh Mansoor Bin Zayed Al Nahyan Flat Racing Festival and organized by the incomparable Lara Sawaya. During the three days of the Conference, panel members discussed a whole range of topics including how to find the best breeding stallion for your program, the best practices for jockey weight control and fitness, how to take Arabian racing to the next level, and why the IFHAR website is lacking timely information. One announcement as a result of the lively discussion came from Lara Sawaya who volunteered to spear-head the creation of an Arabian horse racing database under the umbrella of the Festival, but admonished that every member country must submit race results to make this work and continue to enjoy Festival racing. On the final day, attendees enjoyed Emirates Race Day at Capanelle, the race track located outside of Rome. Winners of the Festival races were Ziyadd, owned by HH Sheikh Mansoor Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, who under Pierantonio Convertino, won the Sheikh Zayed Bin Sultan Al Nahyan Cup (Listed) race. (Pictured below, top right.) In the Euros 25,000 HH Sheikha Fatima Bint Mubarak Ladies World Championship race, 2015 world champion Astrid Wullschleger of Switzerland scored a smart win on Mirko and ensured she booked a spot in the final of this year’s Ladies Championship which will be held in November in Abu Dhabi. (Pictured below, bottom right.) South Korea's Jeong Jeonghee rode unbeaten Urge De Gallura to a win in the HH Sheikha Fatima Bint Mubarak Apprentice World Championship race. (Pictured below, bottom left.) “I have heard so much about Abu Dhabi through our Korean lady jockey who qualified for the final last year and I am so excited that I will experience that international feel this year. My trainer just asked me to trust in the horse and I did just that, the horse obliging in great fashion,” the Korean winner said. “This was a great debut for the Festival in Italy, and we hope that it will trigger more interest in Purebred Arabians here,” Ms. Sawaya said. The 2017 conference will be held in Morocco. All photos by Steve Heath unless otherwise specified.

Arabian Racing Will Miss... NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Lincoln "Chips" Moman, a Memphis producer, musician and songwriter who helped Elvis Presley engineer a musical comeback in the late '60s and then moved to Nashville to record Willie Nelson, Merle Haggard and other top country performers, died Monday in LaGrange, Georgia. He was 79. Donny Turner, a family friend who spoke with his wife Jane, said Moman died at a hospice facility after a lengthy struggle with lung disease. He is survived by his wife, his daughter Monique and son Casey. A fixture for decades in the Southern music scene, Moman hitchhiked from Georgia to Memphis as a teenager and worked at the fledging Stax Records in the 1950s. He produced some of first hits for the famous label, including "Last Night" by the Mar-Keys, "Gee Whiz" by Carla Thomas and "You Don't Miss Your Water" by William Bell. He started his own studio, American Sound Studio, and formed the Memphis Boys studio band, which helped define the funky, downto-earth Memphis sound of the 1960s. He helped produce hits from the Gentrys, B.J. Thomas and Neil Diamond. With Dan Penn, he co-wrote soul classics "Dark End of the Street," a hit for James Carr and "Do Right Woman," a hit for Aretha Franklin. One of his most notable collaborations was with Presley. For much of the '60s, Elvis had turned out soundtrack albums as pallid as the movies they were derived from. But by the end of the decade, Presley was anxious to challenge himself and chose the American studio for his intended comeback. The result was a prolific and productive session, with Presley re-establishing his mastery of soul, gospel, country and blues and showing he could keep up with the latest sounds. The album "From Elvis in Memphis," released in 1969, received some of the best reviews of his career and was followed a year later by "Back in Memphis." Hit singles included "Kentucky Rain," ''In the Ghetto" and what became the signature song of the latter part of Presley's career, the chart-topping "Suspicious Minds." Moman left Memphis in 1972 and tried to start again in Atlanta, but when that didn't work out, he moved to Nashville. There Moman continued his streak of musical success by writing and recording for country artists. He earned a Grammy in 1976 for co-writing the country song "(Hey Won't You Play) Another Somebody Done Somebody Wrong Song," a hit for B.J. Thomas, and also wrote "Luckenbach, Texas," recorded first by Waylon Jennings. He produced "Mamas, Don't Let Your Babies Grow up to Be Cowboys" for Willie Nelson and Jennings, "Pancho and Lefty" for Nelson and Merle Haggard, and persuaded Nelson to record a cover of "You Were Always on My Mind," which became one of Nelson's biggest hits and earned him a Grammy for country vocal performance of the year. In 1985 Moman produced the first and most successful studio recordings of the country supergroup the Highwaymen, featuring Kris Kristofferson, Johnny Cash, Jennings and Nelson. He went back to Memphis in 1985 briefly, lured by the city's mayor with financial incentives in the hope of revitalizing the city's music scene. There he produced the "Class of '55" recording sessions featuring Jerry Lee Lewis, Cash, Carl Perkins and Roy Orbison. Along with his wife Jane, Chips Moman bred and owned Arabian racehorses through French Performance Arabians. They owned and stood the stallion Kong and one of their best horses was multiple stakes winner Kinzi Kong, pictured at left. Photo courtesy of Todd Moak. 19 • Arabian Finish Line • July 2016

Hesster and Uptown Dannys Boy Speedy in COBRA Sprints JONATHAN HOROWITZ: Twitter @jjhorowitz | (949) 2467075 | jjhorowitz@gmail.com On Sunday, June 12, in a Arabian stakes race at Arapahoe Park, Hesster (Dahess x Dixie Dance, by Line Dancer) dominated the COBRA Distaff Sprint (G3), sponsored by MKP Enterprises by 15 1/4 lengths. Jockey Carl Williams made a strong move around the far turn in the six-furlong, $18,500 stake for fillies and mares, and the 5-year-old gray mare owned by Kenneth Werner and trained by Ken Danyluk left her competition in the dust. Hesster stopped the clock in 1:18.74 as the 4-5 favorite in the field of five. Danyluk also trained runner-up TM Maddammee, who was ridden by Jeff Smith. My Vaz Is Hot was third. Not to be outdone, Uptown Dannys Boy (Burning Sand x Wibwilcca, by Wilkolak) is finding his funk at Arapahoe Park. In his first start at the Colorado track on May 22, the 4-year-old gray colt broke a 15-year-old track record for five furlongs. Then on Saturday, he prevailed in an exciting stretch duel in the Jerry Partin Memorial COBRA Sprint (G3) against Sammy V, the winner of the stake in 2014. “What a duel down the stretch—as exciting as it gets in horse racing,” trainer Ken Danyluk said. Uptown Dannys Boy and jockey Tracy Hebert sat just behind leader Sammy V and jockey Carl Williams as the two speedy sprinters blazed through quick fractions for Arabians—23.29 seconds for the opening quarter-mile and 48.32 seconds for the half-mile—and separated themselves from the rest of the pack in the six-furlong, $18,800 Grade 3 stake. Uptown Dannys Boy took the lead in the homestretch and pulled away for a two-length win in 1:18.21.

his tenaciousness hours later on the racetrack. “He’s very quiet. He’s all business,” Danyluk said. Saturday was a particularly interactive day at Arapahoe Park because, in addition to the barn tours, the track partnered with the Colorado Horse Council to host the “Heritage Ride.” About 30 people brought horses to Arapahoe Park for a trail ride on the racetrack and the Arapahoe County Fairgrounds.

“I didn’t let [Sammy V] get away from me,” Hebert said. “With Arabians, you can’t get too far behind. When I beat him the last time, I rode him the same way.” Uptown Dannys Boy was making his first start for new owner Ali Haddad. Danyluk opened up his Barn 31 on the Arapahoe Park backside to fans the morning of the race for tours as part of the Arabian Horse Association’s “Arabian Horse Day at Arapahoe Park.” Uptown Dannys Boy displayed a playful attitude in his stall for families before

HIGH CLASS ENTRIES FOR QATAR INTERNATIONAL STAKES, THE FIRST LEG OF DOHA TRIPLE CROWN A high class list of entries was released by the Arabian Racing Organisation (ARO) this afternoon for the first leg of the Doha Triple Crown, the Qatar International Stakes (Gr.1 PA), to be run as part of the Qatar Goodwood Festival. They are headed by Al Mourtajez, the highest rated Arabian racehorse in the world last year, winner of the Qatar Arabian World Cup (Gr.1 PA) and Gazwan, who beat him in the HH Emir’s Sword (Gr.1 PA). Also among the entries are last year’s winner Sir Bani Yas and runner-up Prada T. The Doha Triple Crown was initiated last year. The remaining two races are the Qatar Arabian World Cup (Gr.1 PA), to be run at Chantilly in October and the HH Emir’s Sword (Gr.1 PA) to be run in Doha in February 2017. This series links together three of the most prestigious international events and also carries a $1,000,000 bonus to any horse who can win all three stages. The overall prize fund for the Qatar International Stakes is £400,000, and with £200,000 to the winner, the one mile contest has attracted 26 entries, of which more than two thirds are rated over 100. The race, which will be run on Saturday 30 July, has a supplementary entry stage on Wednesday 20 July and a final declaration stage on Wednesday 27 July. The Arabian Racing Organisation (ARO) Racing Manager Amanda Smith said. “The quality of entries has exceeded expectations. With the winners of each leg of the inaugural Doha Triple Crown entered, the Qatar International at Goodwood promises to be a mouthwatering contest of Purebred Arabian champions.” She continued. “It is an honour for ARO to stage the first leg of such a high-profile initiative for international Arabian racing. The addition of this race at such a prestigious event in the UK racing calendar is a huge boost to the sport, both domestically and worldwide.” For all ARO’s Media Enquiries Debbie Burt may be contacted on: 00 44 (0) 7782 349047 or via email: equinecreativemedia@gmail. com.
