From the EXECUTIVE CORNER DOUG BURGE CTBA PRESIDENT

Dear Valued Advertisers, Members, and Readers,

W

hether you are an advertiser in the magazine, a CTBA member, a reader, or all three, you are the backbone of the CTBA. It is for you that the CTBA exists, and as the racing industry and the world maneuver through the challenges of the coronavirus pandemic, the CTBA will be there to help you, your horses, and your businesses.

As we all do our part to stay home and reduce the severity of this pandemic, the CTBA’s magazine, California Toroughbred, will continue to connect us to each other and provide information and entertainment about our wonderful breeding industry. Rest assured that we will continue producing our monthly print edition.

It began as a newsletter not long after the CTBA was formed in 1937 and became a magazine in 1941, being produced even

throughout World War II. Horses need care every day, whether or not their humans face a pandemic. CTBA members are among the most dedicated of equine caretakers, making sure that their horses receive the food, exercise, training, and veterinary attention they need, not to mention the love, afection, and—most likely—carrots that their horses crave.

We at California Toroughbred are equally devoted to serving your needs. Te magazine provides a place to spread the word of the quality of our California-breds, as well as including educational articles and news. In this time of enforced solitude, we are also striving to entertain more than ever.

Te Toroughbred industry is a family, and we are all here for each other. California Toroughbred is part of that family. We are in this with you together.

STALLION

State-breds performing so well that Los Al could be called Los Cal-amitos

CAL-BREDS DOMINATE LOS ALAMITOS With Los Alamitos the only California racetrack running in early April, California-bred Toroughbreds quickly established themselves there. Local boards of health did not allow Santa Anita and Golden Gate Fields to run, leaving only the nighttime Los Alamitos Quarter Horse meet going in the state.

From April 3-19, Cal-bred Toroughbreds won 29 races at Los Alamitos. Twelve scored in Toroughbred-only races while 17 captured mixed races against Quarter Horses.

Cal-bred Rule He Will won the $20,000 Wheatland Handicap, an 870-yard race against Toroughbreds and Quarter Horses. Te 9-year-old Toroughbred gelding defeated Cal-bred Toroughbred Live Your Life by 31⁄2 lengths in :44.707, with favored Hardcore Troubador, also a Cal-bred Toroughbred, third.

In 2018, Rule He Will (Tribal Rule—Sonoma Bred, by All the Gears) won the Truly A Pleasure Handicap and Snowbound Superstar Handicap, both at Los Alamitos. Te late Kjell Qvale bred Rule He Hill, who is owned by William Branch and trained by Jerry Wallace II.

Fasig-Tipton California Juvenile Sale Canceled Fasig-Tipton has canceled its 2-year-olds in training sale scheduled for June 3 at Santa Anita because of restrictions due to COVID-19 and subsequent changes in the Toroughbred auction calendar. Te company had conducted its inaugural 2-yearold sale at Santa Anita in 2019.

“Factors beyond our control have necessitated the sale’s cancellation,” said Boyd Browning, president of Fasig-Tipton. “We greatly appreciate the support we received from those that had already committed entries, as well as the eforts and coopera6

tion of Santa Anita’s management and staf these past several months. With so much uncertainty, we felt it was best to go ahead and announce the sale’s cancellation to provide sellers with ample time to redirect their horses to other venues.”

Fasig-Tipton is now taking entries for its California fall yearling sale, slated for Oct. 19 at Fairplex. Entries close July 1.

Fasig-Tipton conducted its inaugural yearling sale in California in 2019.

“While disappointed with this outcome, we look forward to continuing to work

with California breeders and sellers on the California fall yearling sale,” said Browning.

Fasig-Tipton also announced that it will ofer online bidding at all of its future live auctions.

“As we all work to conduct business in the current COVID-19 environment of adjusted social norms, online bidding ensures the best possible marketplace for our buyers and sellers in 2020,” said Browning.

“Looking beyond 2020, we envision this service being an integral component of all future auctions.”

Los Alamitos has renamed the Bertrando Stakes as the Soi Phet Stakes.

A one-mile event for California-bred and California-sired 3-year-olds and up, the race now honors the Cal-bred who performed so well in the race. It is scheduled for June 27 with a $100,000 purse.

Soi Phet won the inaugural running of the Bertrando in 2014 and took it again in 2018. He competed in all six editions of the Bertrando through

2019, when he was retired with earnings of $1,023,919.

Bred by ARCHA Racing, Soi Phet is a 12-year-old gelded son of Tizbud—Summer Jersey, by Siberian Summer. Leonard Powell trained him for most of his career for the ownership of the Benowitz Family Trust, Mathilde Powell (Leonard’s wife), and Paul Viskovich. ▲

NewsBits CHANEY APPOINTED CHRB EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR Longtime California steward Scott Chaney has been appointed as the executive director of the California Horse Racing Board. He replaces Rick Baedeker, who retired March 31.

Chaney, who has a law degree and is a member of the State Bar of California, has spent his entire life around horses. He grew up in Maryland, where his parents owned racehorses. He groomed horses during summers off from law school, and he later worked as an assistant to trainer Darrell Vienna.

A California steward since 2005, Chaney worked on the Southern California Thoroughbred circuit for many years. Most recently, he has served as a steward during the night Quarter Horse meet at Los Alamitos. He has been one of the CHRB’s hearing offcers since 2010.

“I have known Scott since he frst arrived at the racetrack,” said Dr. Greg Ferraro, chairman of the CHRB. “I have followed his career and know him to be a person with an excellent mind, fair in his judgments, and totally committed to the integrity of horse racing.”

Chaney’s offce will be in Sacramento, but his relocation may be delayed due to COVID-19 and the statewide stay-at-home order.

Fair Canceled at Del Mar Te San Diego County Fair, which runs in June and early July at the Del Mar fairgrounds before the Del Mar Toroughbred Club opens its summer race meeting, has been canceled for 2020 due to the continuing COVID-19 situation.

Te fair’s cancellation may allow for horses to stable at Del Mar earlier than usual in anticipation of Del Mar’s scheduled opening July 18. As of press time, Del Mar was planning to run its summer dates as scheduled, though it had not been

determined whether that would be before a crowd.

Santa Anita and Golden Gate Fields ran several race programs without fans before they were shut down by their respective county health boards due to COVID-19 concerns. It was hoped that as restrictions are eased, those two tracks could resume racing without fans in attendance. Los Alamitos continued to run its night Quarter Horse meet without fans under the regulations of its county health department.

CHRB LICENSES RENEWALS The California Horse Racing Board in early April noted that it had closed all CHRB licensing offces “until further notice” as part of the state’s efforts to mitigate the spread of COVID-19. During this closure the CHRB will not process in-person license applications and/ or renewals.

Renewals may be done via email, mail, or phone. Details can be found by calling the following numbers: Golden Gate Fields, (510) 5597437; Los Alamitos, (714) 820-2760; Santa Anita, (626) 574-6348; and Cal Expo, (916) 263-6000.

CALIFORNIA THOROUGHBRED ❙ May 2020 ❙ www.ctba.com

The CHRB announced that the issuance of new licenses would not occur until the licensing offces are re-opened. Exceptions to the temporary suspension of issuing licenses will be considered if the license is absolutely necessary for the health and safety of people and/or horses. All requests for exceptions should be sent to Shawn Loehr, chief of enforcement and licensing, at slloehr@chrb.ca.gov for review.

The CHRB noted that expired licenses should not be accepted at any CHRB-regulated facility.

Charles Fipke, who owns several stallions standing at stud across the country, including California-based Jersey Town, is waiving stud fees for the 2020 season because of the economic impact of COVID-19.

“Small breeders will especially be affected by the economic conditions, and they are the backbone of the industry,” Fipke was quoted on Twitter by Sid Fernando, his longtime consultant. “Because I own my stallions outright and don’t have shareholder responsibilities, I am able to do

HOW TO REDEEM UNCASHED TICKETS The California Horse Racing Board advises that all uncashed pari-mutuel-tickets purchased at 2019 California race meets will expire after May 14, 2020.

Box 60014, Arcadia, Calif. 91066-6014.

A check will be mailed to the address provided.

Santa Anita’s pari-mutuel department will process all uncashed tickets purchased in California, including those at off-track simulcast locations and Northern California racetracks.

Unclaimed tickets include uncashed winning pari-mutuel tickets and uncashed refunds due to canceled races and/or horses being scratched (withdrawn).

All claims must be received by the Santa Anita pari-mutuel department by May 15, 2020, to be honored.

HISTORY

10 YEARS AGO Rarely does a horse get to win on his actual birthday, but California-bred ACCLAMATION came close in 2010. Foaled at the Johnston family’s Old English Rancho May 16, 2006, Acclamation competed in the $150,000 Jim Murray Handicap at Hollywood Park the day before his fourth birthday, May 15, 2010. Jockey Christian Santiago Reyes put him on the lead at the start of the 11⁄2-mile turf event. Acclamation led throughout and coasted home on top by 71⁄2 lengths in 2:26.59.

It was Acclamation’s frst stakes victory, and the following year he was voted an Eclipse Award as champion older male. Don Warren trained Acclamation for the partnership of Judy and Buddy Johnston and their daughter Mary Hilvers and her husband, Pete.

Acclamation, who now stands at John Harris’ Harris Farms, is a son of Unusual Heat—Winning in Style, by Silveyville.

25 YEARS AGO In May 1995, California-bred CAT’S CRADLE completed a graded double when she won the $150,000 Acorn Stakes (G1) at Belmont Park. That followed her victory in the $250,000 Fantasy Stakes (G2) at Oaklawn Park April 14. With Chris Antley aboard in both events, Cat’s Cradle went

off as the 7-10 favorite in the 11⁄16mile Fantasy and scored by four lengths in 1:44.29. In the May 7 Acorn at a mile, Cat’s Cradle was again the odds-on choice. She defeated Country Cat by 23⁄4 lengths in 1:37.53. Dave Hofmans trained Cat’s Cradle for owner Georgia Ridder, who bred the flly in the name of Ridder Thoroughbred Stable. Cat’s Cradle was a daughter of Flying Paster—Tangled, by Linkage. Ridder’s late husband, B.J. Ridder, had bred and raced Flying Paster before standing him at stud in California.

50 YEARS AGO Hollywood Park in the 1970s had a series of stakes for precocious 2-year-olds, and California-bred SISSANO captured one of them, the Junior League Stakes for fllies, May 1, 1970. Competing over fve furlongs, Sissano won by 31⁄2 lengths, stopping the timer in :571⁄5. Cal-bred In Exile fnished second, giving sire Isle of Greece the exacta. Kentucky-bred Sweet Scent fnished third. Donald Pierce rode Sissano for Henry Moreno, who trained her for owner Mrs. W. J. Hock. A. Garth House bred Sissano out of the stakes-winning Great Host mare Great Hostess.

The next month Sissano added the Cygnet Stakes, also at Hollywood.

Julissa Hoogeveen Receives Scholarship Early every year part of the California Toroughbred Foundation’s mission to support veterinary students focused on the Toroughbreds manifests itself in the choice of a third-year student at Western University of Health Sciences in Pomona. It is an honor to interview these extraordinary nominees, and the vote is always very close. Our choice this year is Julissa Hoogeveen.

Te frst Toroughbred that Hoogeveen owned as a young girl sufered from navicular disease. She vowed then and there to dedicate her career to unraveling this lameness.

Her stellar undergraduate and veterinary studies have put her on the Dean’s List year after year and garnered many additional scholastic awards. Work with her research mentor at Western University includes the histologic study of the distal limb, most extensively, the distal sesamoidean impar Julissa Hoogeveen ligament. Tis study is the frst step in determining the signifcance of the impar ligament in relation to navicular syndrome.

Hoogeveen has become a certifed veterinary acupuncturist to help manage chronic and acute pain in horses. Her studies at the Chi Institute opened her eyes to the rapidly growing career of integrative equine medicine.

Our recipient graduated with honors from Hofstra University. At Western University she has served in leadership roles, starting as executive president of the Student Government Association. Her research covers six extensive laboratory and research projects. Hoogeveen has been a veterinary assistant or technician in animal hospitals.

As an assistant trainer, she has achieved the U.S. Equestrian Federation silver medal status in dressage. She volunteers consistently with humane societies, horse rescues, and special events in California and Honduras.

Windy’s Daughter FIRST CAL-BRED HORSE OF THE YEAR WINS TWO-THIRDS OF FILLY TRIPLE CROWN

L

ucrative incentives usually keep California-breds at home, though occasionally they do venture across the country, as two-time Cal-bred Horse of the Year Spiced Perfection did in winning graded races at Keeneland and Aqueduct. If those incentives had been around in 1973, however, maybe the New York onslaught by Windy’s Daughter would never have occurred.

CALIFORNIA THOROUGHBRED ❙ May 2020 ❙ www.ctba.com

Windy’s Daughter won an astounding 10 stakes. Tree of those came in New York and included two-thirds of the New York flly triple crown—the Acorn Stakes (G1) and Mother Goose Stakes (G1). Her exploits earned her the very frst California-bred Horse of the Year title when the California Toroughbred Breeders Association inaugurated its year-end awards in 1974.

A ftting choice to kick of the California Horse of the Year awards, Windy’s Daughter descended from generations of California bloodlines. Harry Curland bred her, and his

daughter, Mrs. Paul Blackman, raced her.

Te Curland family frst became involved with Windy’s Daughter’s female family by campaigning third dam Henpecker, who in 1948 won the Golden Gate Derby, Oakland Handicap, and La Jolla Handicap. Henpecker was by 1928 Kentucky Derby winner Reigh Count, also the sire of 1943 Triple Crown winner Count Fleet.

Henpecker’s foals included Solid Miss, a daughter of Solidarity who won the 1955 Monitor Handicap and is the second dam of Windy’s Daughter. Blackman had purchased Solidarity for $21,000 out of the Louis B. Mayer dispersal as a 2-year-old in 1947.

Solidarity today appears in the pedigree of California sire Acclamation, an Eclipse Award champion and twice Cal-bred Horse of the Year, nearly 40 years after Windy’s Daughter received the honor. Solidarity is the sire of Solidity, Acclamation’s third dam. Acclamation has in turn sired Acclimate, twice a Cal-bred champion in 2019.

Solid Miss benefted from the addition of Fleet Nasrullah to the ranks of California sires. When bred to that stallion, she produced Fleet Judy, the dam of Windy’s Daughter and stakes winner Miss Lady Bug. Fleet Judy received the California Broodmare of the Year title in 1973, in large part due to Windy’s Daughter.

Fleet Judy produced Windy’s Daughter to the cover of Windy Sea, who cost Blackman $18,000 as a yearling at the 1958 CTBA Del Mar sale. Windy Sea, who was out of a Seabiscuit mare, won the 1963 Lakes and Flowers Handicap and Coronado Handicap at Hollywood Park.

Back in the 1970s, a decade before the

creation of the Breeders’ Cup, Cal-bred fllies who stayed home rarely received the national recognition that their East Coast counterparts did. Windy’s Daughter might have proved the exception when she went undefeated in seven starts at 2 in 1972. But East Coast-based La Prevoyante outdid her by fve, never losing in 12 starts to capture the Eclipse Award as champion 2-year-old flly.

La Prevoyante had won her stakes on the East Coast whereas Windy’s Daughter remained in California at 2. A. T. (Tommy) Doyle trained Windy’s Daughter, a precocious gem at Hollywood Park. She clicked of victories in the Junior League, Cyg-

net, and Cinderella Stakes, all with Laft Pincay Jr. aboard, and a division of the Hollywood Lassie Stakes while ridden by the legendary Bill Shoemaker. In the lastnamed, as the 3-10 favorite, she dominated by three lengths.

Windy’s Daughter’s success wasn’t confned to Hollywood Park. At Del Mar that summer with Shoemaker aboard, Windy’s Daughter set a stakes record of 1:09 for six furlongs in the Sorrento Stakes. She and Shoemaker returned for the Del Mar Debutante and won again.

On the Experimental Free Handicap for 2-year-olds of 1972, Windy’s Daughter was weighted at 118 pounds, equal to Bold Liz, whom she had beaten in the Cinderella and Sorrento, and behind only La Prevoyante at 121 pounds among fllies. It was the highest honor accorded to a Cal-bred flly on the Experimental since champion Bed o’ Roses received 118 in 1949. Horse of the Year Secretariat topped all other 2-year-olds that year at 129.

Windy’s Daughter began 1973 at Santa Anita. She won the six-furlong Pasadena Stakes (G3) and fnished third in the seven-furlong Santa Ynez Stakes (G2) under Pincay. Don Pierce rode her to a fourth in the 11⁄16-mile Santa Susana Stakes (now the

FIRST YEARLINGS THIS YEAR

Focus on the Future

Taylor Cambra

Taylor Cambra is only 22, but he’s already been astride more top-class horses than most other riders will ever see. Born and raised in Northern California, he started out brushing track ponies and quickly moved all the way up to barn foreman for Richard Mandella. Multiple grade 1 winner Omaha Beach was one of his regular mounts.

Cambra’s father, Billy, worked as an outrider on the Northern California circuit, and the son still remembers being “put to work doing the little things around the barn.” Tat began Taylor’s career.

“It all started out just helping my dad, from brushing the ponies, to cleaning stalls and tack,” Taylor said. “After a while I started branching out and doing things for other people like walking hots and cleaning other people’s tack.”

Cambra learned to ride on the ponies, and before he turned 16 he was helping break young horses with Mike Larson. Shortly afterward, he started galloping horses for Monty Meier and Josh Stein.

“Both of which I’m very grateful for,” Cambra said. “Josh is still one of my best friends. But Mike had a huge impact in my life. I started working for him full time at 17, breaking colts and galloping horses.”

Cambra also rodeoed a few weekends a month, riding frst bulls and then broncs, and he felt his life heading in that direction.

“As I turned 18, rodeo started becoming more of a focus in my life,” Cambra said. “I wanted to make a profession out of it. It was a part of my life I wouldn’t trade for anything.”

Injury and fnancial issues kept Cambra from pursuing that dream.

“I came back to what I always knew… and that was being at the track,” he said.

While working for Ari Herbertson, Cambra traveled to Churchill Downs with eventual stakes winner Pyscho Sister for the Longines Churchill Distaf Turf Mile (G2T). He then took a string

From grooming and mucking to breaking and galloping, Taylor Cambra is working his way up the successful trainer ladder.

of horses to Southern California in the summer of 2018, but when Herbertson returned north, Cambra felt lost.

“I was broke yet again, but I couldn’t just give up on my dream of being at the Great Race Place (Santa Anita),” he said. “So I stuck it out and walked around for two weeks looking for a job, not knowing how I was going to get by. Tat’s when I met Richard Mandella.”

Cambra quickly settled into his new position, galloping some of the best horses in California. He was the regular rider for Omaha Beach during the lead-up to the 2019 Kentucky Derby (G1), drawing crowds of reporters each morning. Just days before the race, Omaha Beach was scratched, but he returned to the races later in the year to win the Santa Anita Sprint Championship (G1) and Malibu Stakes (G1).

“By far the best would be Omaha Beach,” Cambra said when asked about the top horses he has ridden. “He was one horse that has always stood out from the way he looks, the way he moves, and the way he acts. Just all class. But I guess Jolie Olimpica would sit up there pretty high along with United.”

Brazilian import Jolie Olimpica was unbeaten in her native country before arriving in California and winning the Las Cienegas Stakes (G3) in record time. Millionaire United very nearly upset 2019 Horse of the Year Bricks and Mortar in the Longines Breeders’ Cup Turf (G1) and has since won the San Marcos Stakes (G2).

Cambra is more than 6 feet tall, and keeping his weight down is a perpetual worry.

“My ultimate goal is to become a successful trainer someday,” he said.

With such a successful start to his career in racing, Cambra is certainly on track.

A PILLAR OF THE INDUSTRY

artin Bach might be 80, but he still remembers ducking under the turnstiles to enter Arlington Park as a child with his parents. After his wedding 57 years ago, he told his wife, Bobbi, “One day I’m going to own a horse.” Her reply? “As long as it comes after a house.”

Bach, who graduated from

the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 1962, got his chance. Friends bought a yearling out of the Del Mar sale in 1970 and ofered him 25% ownership.

“I said, ‘Where do I send the money?’ Tat was my intro,” Bach recalled.

Over the next 15 years Bach dabbled in ownership and thought about breeding. But he became involved in the

“I’m not sure I even knew what the TOC was,” Bach said.

“But I was the fnance chair for six years, and I became friends with everyone: Jack Owens, Madeline Auerbach, Ron Charles. Some of them even became clients.”

Bach spent 50 years in the fnance business before calling it a career and retiring. He was able to ofer his fnancial insight while on the TOC board and while developing his own racing business.

“I really was a straight shooter, with no politics involved,” he said. “We all did what we could do for the best of horse racing.”

Te horses have done their share. Marty’s Zee was a homebred stakes winner of the Fairfeld Stakes in 2000; she ultimately earned $362,553. In partnership with Jack Owens, Bach campaigned the City Zip flly English Royal to 11 wins and multiple stakes placings.

City by the Bay was a threetime stakes winner, including the Barretts Debutante at Fairplex and the Seattle Handicap at Emerald Downs. Look Quickly was a multiple stakes winner, and California-bred My Friend George, a Bach homebred, has won 12 times and is one of 21 horses that Bach still owns.

Yes. Racetracks in California are required by law to ofer one race per day that is restricted to California-breds. Last year, that amounted to 285 additional racing opportunities and more than $15.3 million in additional purses for California-breds. In addition, the California legislature has declared its intent that at least 10% of the total stakes purses paid at any race meeting in California be paid on stakes races restricted to registered California-breds. Tis amounted to almost $5 million in 2019 and will grow signifcantly through the creation of the Golden State Series. Also, in 2021, California Cup XXXI will be held at Santa Anita Park on a date to be announced. Part of the funding for California Cup XXXI will come from the incentive award category, the California-bred Race Fund; 9.5% of the total incentive award monies will be used for this category, with the monies funding the promotion of California-bred races, the supplement of purses for California-bred races, and the creation of new California-bred stakes.

Te defnition of a California-bred is as follows: A California-bred Toroughbred is a horse dropped in California after being conceived in California, or any Toroughbred foal dropped by a mare in California if the mare remains in California to be next bred to a Toroughbred stallion standing in the state. If the mare cannot be bred for two successive seasons but remains in California during that period, her foal will be considered a California-bred.

WHAT IS THE DEFINITION OF A CALIFORNIA-SIRED HORSE?

A “California-sired horse” is a Toroughbred that was conceived in

California by a registered California stallion. A California-sired horse is only eligible for entry in races restricted to California-bred or California-sired horses and is not eligible for any breeder or owner awards, except the maiden bonus awards.

HOW DOES ONE REGISTER A CALIFORNIA-BRED OR CALIFORNIA-SIRED HORSE?

Registration applications must be fled with the CTBA. Only those horses that are both registered with Te Jockey Club and fulfll all requirements as outlined in the defnition of a California-bred are eligible. Te fees for registration are as follows: 1) $100.00 for CTBA members, $200.00 for non-members if applied for by Sept. 30 of the foal’s yearling year; 2) $125.00 for CTBA members. $250.00 for non-members if applied for after Sept. 30 of yearling but before Jan. 1 following; and 3) $750.00 if applied for after Jan. 1 of 2-year-old year.

Foals are susceptible to many skeletal developmental problems as they mature into athletes

GROWING PAINS

MANAGING FOALS AND THEIR GROWTH-SPURT PROBLEMS

D

BY HEATHER SMITH THOMAS

evelopmental orthopedic disease (DOD) is a blanket term that covers a lot of territory. It can mean everything from crooked legs and contracted tendons at birth (angular and fexural limb deformities—which might need early attention to correct) to physitis (infammation of growth plates at the ends of the long bones), osteochondrosis (improper calcifcation of bone directly under the cartilage layer), osteochondritis dissecans, subchondral bone cysts, and wobbler syndrome.

CALIFORNIA THOROUGHBRED ❙ May 2020 ❙ www.ctba.com

Some of these problems develop as a foal grows, and some show up when a young horse is put into training.

Some young horses are at risk for certain types of DOD because of the way they are bred (genetics programmed for fast growth), raised, and managed—with rich diets and not enough exercise.

Growth problems cover a diverse group of skeletal diseases.

“Some of these are present when the foal is born—the crooked legs, knock-knees, etc.,” said Dr. Bruce Connally, a sports-medicine veterinarian in Colorado. “But many develop as the foal begins to grow, especially if the foal is fed for fast growth or doesn’t have well-balanced nutrition.

“Predisposing factors in many orthopedic diseases include nutritional imbalances (such as defciencies in trace minerals like copper and an imbalance in calcium/ phosphorus ratio),” said Connally. “Too much growth (spurred by too much protein and energy in the diet—such as a heavy-milking mare and the foal on supplemental grain) is also a predisposing factor in some types of bone problems.”

to cut back on their feed. Some foals are genetically programmed for fast growth, and if the mare milks too well and/or the foal is fed a lot of grain, this accentuates the problem. Horses should be fed to optimize athletic ability and soundness for a long life of useful performance, rather than overfed.

Osteochondritis dissecans (OCD) is a relatively common developmental disease that afects the cartilage and bone in the joints of horses, especially when they are still young and growing. Tis can cause improper development of cartilage and bone faps that might remain partially attached to the bone or break of and foat around in the joint.

Osteochondrosis—a disturbance or abnormality of growing cartilage cells—can be a cause of OCD. In young horses with osteochondrosis, the cartilage or growth plates do not mature into bone as they should, and cartilage builds up. Retention of the cartilage can then lead to OCD or subchondral bone cysts or holes in the bone.

Bone cysts might have an osteochondrosis origin in young animals, but they can also occur in adult horses after trauma. In some cases, a radiograph will show a hole in the bone—maybe as much as three-quarters of an inch in diameter.

Most early problems require intervention. If breeders recognize what is happening early, a veterinarian can determine how severe a situation is by radiographs and then decide whether it is a surgical Radiograph showing a subchondral bone cyst, a hole in the bone, caused by an OCD case or a management case. Some problems can be corrected with diligent hoof trimming or a change in diet and exercise.

Many of the valgus and varus deviations in young foals—legs that angle in or out at the knees or hocks rather than being straight—can be helped immensely by frequent, careful trimming or even a glue-on shoe to give leverage in the proper direction as the leg grows. It is important to monitor the legs to see how they are Foal with varus deformity physitis progressing toward normal.

For problems in which foals are simply lengthening of leg bones occurs swiftly, “Windswept limbs (both front legs or growing too fast, the typical treatment is due to changes and growth at the ends both hind legs curving the same direction) of those bones.

tis that’s being fed too well, probably the best thing is to reduce the levels of protein and energy in the diet,” said Baxter. “You don’t want to drop these too low, but you need to reduce them.”

Dr. K. Gary Magdesian, professor of medicine and epidemiology at the University of California, Davis, says the causes of physitis and OCD are usually multifactorial—a combination of genetics, rapid growth, nutrition, and exercise.

“High nonstructural carbohydrate diets (a lot of grain) fed to foals that are genetically bred for rapid growth is one of the risk factors,” he said.

Proper nutrition is important.

“Calcium-phosphorus ratio imbalances, defciencies, or imbalances in micronutrients such as copper, zinc, manganese, and silicon are leading causes of growth problems,” said Magdesian. “Prevention rests here; breeders should use lower levels of simple carbohydrates. For some of these developmental orthopedic diseases, the dams’ diet (particularly high levels of non-structural carbohydrates like grain) is an important risk factor for DOD in the future foals that they are carrying.”

exact cause of physitis.

“In many instances, these growth plates enlarge awhile and then the enlargement disappears as the foal matures,” he said. “If there is no heat or pain, it may be just a normal condition.

“Some enlargements may be abnormal and can be caused by improper nutrition or trauma—such as external trauma or too much exercise and concussion on the delicate growth plate.”

Tere might be times when the physis is more vulnerable to trauma during growth. If the foal overuses the leg when the bone is still soft, there might be crushing and damage to cells in the growth plate. Tis could create swelling and infammation, with clinical signs of physitis.

Te growth plate is most vulnerable during the frst year of life, particularly when the foal is growing fastest—during the frst six to nine months.

“Tere can be a nutritional component and/or a mechanical component in physitis, if there are regions of trauma in the growth plate,” said Baxter. “Tere may be subchondral bone damage or micro-fractures in that area, creating infammation.

“If only one physis is afected (just one leg), we suspect some type of mechanical or traumatic cause. Whereas if multiple physes are involved (enlargements at growth plates of all four distal cannon bones), it might be related to growth.”

Te growth plates at the lower ends of the cannon bone close before those of the knee and hock. Generally, physitis in younger foals involves the distal cannon (knobby fetlock joints), while in older foals the swelling is at the knees and hocks.

“It’s more common to see physitis at the knees and fetlock joints,” said Baxter.

“Mechanical physitis, especially at the knees and fetlocks, can lead to crooked legs (angular limb deformity).”

A foal with signifcant physitis might end up with damage to the growing cartilage on one side of the growth plate.

“If the damage is asymmetrical, it can lead to diferent growth rates, creating limb deformities,” said Baxter. “It is especially important to monitor this at the fetlock joints. If there’s signifcant physitis in

An example of fetlock varus

that region, causing asymmetrical growth, it usually will cause a varus deformity—a turning inward of the lower leg. Tis can lead to long-term problems, especially if it is not corrected quickly. You have less time to deal with this than with problems involving the knee.”

Some people feel physitis in foals is simply related to calcium/phosphorus ratios or defciencies, but it’s not that clear cut.

Foals that are pushed for fast growth, with diets high in protein and energy, tend to have more incidences of physitis.

“If you have a young horse with physi-

Magdesian says treatment of both physitis and OCD consists of using a balanced diet, especially for macro- and micro-minerals.

“You want less grain in the diet—to lower sugar and starch,” he said. “Make sure caloric requirements are not exceeded and that body condition/weight is optimal. Exercise for afected foals and young horses should be low impact and limited, with soft footing. A short course of NSAIDS (non-steroidal anti-infammatory drugs) may be necessary as part of treatment for pain and infammation.

“Prevention of DOD, especially OCD, is to ensure proper nutrition for pregnant mares (especially ensuring adequate mineral intake). For either condition, diet is very important to foals during the frst year of life. Tis includes controlling the amount of simple carbohydrate intake and balancing macro- and micro-minerals in the diet. Exercise on hard ground should be avoided.”

One of the misconceptions about

rather than stimulating build-up. Te body cannot develop strong bones without exercise. A foal’s exercise should only be limited when there is already some skeletal damage that would be exacerbated by exercise and concussion.

WOBBLER SYNDROME

“Wobbler syndrome is developmental and becomes worse as foals age,” said Magdesian. “In mild cases, the signs may not be evident until the horse is a young to middle-aged adult. It has multiple risk factors, including genetics, rapid growth,

EARLY INTERVENTION

DEAN HENDRICKSON

DOD is that afected foals should be put on “starvation” diets to slow growth.

Tis could actually exacerbate the problem due to amino acid or mineral defciencies.

Adequate exercise is also a very important component.

“Some people keep foals in stalls and they don’t get much exercise,” said Connally. “Tere is some interesting research from Michigan State University suggesting that if you don’t let them out for normal exercise, they don’t develop enough digital cushion and some of the other important internal structures of the hoof. Ten by the time that horse is an adult, it has no heels; the heels are weak and collapse and you can’t fx it because these structures didn’t develop when the horse was a baby. It won’t develop now; it’s too late.”

All of the bony structures need some concussion and stress in order to develop properly, with adequate strength.

Tey thicken and develop more fully in response to stress, as long as it’s not too much stress, which can tear things down

and unbalanced and high-calorie diets.”

Treatment of wobbler syndrome is difcult.

“Conservative treatment may help in weanlings,” said Magdesian, “by feeding a ‘paced diet,’ which reduces energy intake to about two-thirds to three-fourths of the horse’s requirements by feeding low-quality grass hay, but still providing adequate and balanced vitamins and minerals. Te foals should be lean and stall confned (in a stall no larger than 12’ x 24’). NSAIDS and DMSO are sometimes used in the early stages to reduce infammation and swelling.

For yearlings and older horses or those with severe signs at a young age, surgical correction may be the only practical treatment.

Magdesian says prevention is accomplished through feeding a balanced and low simple carbohydrate diet to pregnant mares and foals, just as for OCD. “Studies have shown that diets high in grain (simple carbohydrates) for pregnant mares predispose to OCD in their foals,” he said. “Te same may be true for wobbler syndrome, but this hasn’t been specifcally studied. In particular, calcium-to-phosphorus ratio, zinc, copper, manganese, and silicon are important for developing bone, and vitamins E and A are important for neurological development.”

Some developmental orthopedic disease problems don’t show up until later, when the young horse is put into training as a long yearling or as a 2-year-old.

“By that time, trying to correct these with management is nearly impossible,” said Dr. Bruce Connally, a sports-medicine veterinarian in Colorado. “By then we’ve lost most of our opportunity to affect the growth plates; they are already closed or closing.”

The young horse may also have weak areas in the bones and/or cartilage of joints and maybe some bone cysts. These conditions may keep a young horse from staying sound when training begins.

“OCD (osteochondritis dissecans), for instance, is often occult; you don’t see a lameness until you put the horse into training,” said Connally. “You may just see a bulky hock or increased joint fuid. The horse might have intermittent mild lameness, and you might think he twisted his leg. So you turn him out for a little bit and give him a rest from work and training. Then you get him back in and start back to work, and he goes off again.

“If you x-ray those joints, you can see the lesions, fgure it out, and start treatment. In many instances, it will be surgical treatment although other things like shockwave therapy might sometimes help.”

With each problem, you need to pinpoint the cause, get a proper diagnosis, and fnd a veterinarian who can help.

“Don’t ignore a problem, thinking it will go away, especially with a young horse,” said Connally.

“There is a time frame on some of these in which we can be more effective. If we are proactive, we might end up with a sound, healthy horse.

“Club foot is a perfect example.

It can be insidious at frst and not noticed until it is serious. There are many club-footed horses.

If you work on them as youngsters—often just with trimming, or sometimes cutting the inferior check ligament—it is remarkable how well this problem can be eliminated.”

The statistics shown here are compiled by The Jockey Club Information Systems (TJCIS). While every effort is made to prevent errors and omissions, California Thoroughbred cannot guarantee their complete and total accuracy. A dagger (†) indicates a stallion that has been pensioned or has died, a dot (•) that he is now standing elsewhere (sires no longer standing in California remain on these lists until their last Cal-bred crop turns 3 years old).

Freshman sires are highlighted in bold text. Earnings are from Northern Hemisphere racing and include adjusted money from Japan, Hong Kong, and Singapore. Adjusted earnings are put on par with average North American earnings from the previous year. The average North American purse in 2018 was $23,755 or 50% of the average purse in Japan. To put earnings on par, Japanese earnings are multiplied by 50% before being applied to the total earnings above. Hong Kong earnings are adjusted by 15%, and Singapore adjusted by 66%. Stakes winners and wins follow TJCIS stakes rules. Racing statistics through April 19, 2020.

These statistics are for active California-based sires with a minimum of 50 foals of racing age, ranked here by their lifetime Average Earnings Index (AEI.) The statistics shown here are compiled by The Jockey Club Information Systems (TJCIS). While every effort is made to prevent errors and omissions, California Thoroughbred cannot guarantee their complete and total accuracy. A dagger (†) indicates a stallion that has been pensioned or has died, a dot (•) that he is now standing elsewhere (sires no longer standing in California remain on these lists until their last Cal-bred crop turns 3 years old). Freshman sires are highlighted in bold text.. Statistics cover racing in North America (U.S., Canada and Puerto Rico), England, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) only. Stakes winners and wins follow TJCIS stakes rules.

Percentages are based upon number of named foals of racing age.
