Reader Michael Compton/JOE DIORIO PHOTO

Engagement lorida Equine Publications embarked on brand expansion last year by jumping into the social networking arena with a facebook page for The Florida Horse magazine. The unique value it adds has allowed us to share our work with an even wider audience than we reach with the magazines and website. It has greatly expanded our networking capabilities, successfully introduced our product to new industry enthusiasts and extended shelf-life of stories beyond the printed page. Launched in March of 2010, The Florida Horse’s facebook page has grown steadily since then, with “fans” or “followers” of the publication today numbering nearly 800. The interactive page, which is updated daily with news, features and announcements pertaining to Florida’s Thoroughbred industry, can be accessed at www.facebook.com/thefloridahorse if you are a member of the facebook community. The articles and photos posted on the facebook page have seriously increased traffic to our website as the posts link readers directly to www.ftboa.com. Our foray into social media has brought us magazine subscribers, new working relationships with writers and photographers, as well as fresh article ideas. As I wrote in this space last April, our main goal is to make certain that all of your interactions with our brand are meaningful. Our articles and profiles, legislative updates and equine care articles are designed to help readers better understand the industry and the people responsible for breeding, owning, training, selling and racing Florida-breds. In turn, how we market our publications has helped us learn more about our readers, their horses, farms and training operations, as well as their connections to the industry.

As we continue seeking new avenues to reach members of the Florida Thoroughbred Breeders’ and Owners’Association, industry participants and enthusiasts, FEP and the FTBOA have created a QR Code (quick response code) to make accessing the website and our published material easier than ever. A QR Code is a matrix barcode readable by barcode scanners on smart phones. The code (pictured here) consists of black modules arranged in a pattern on white background.The barcode reader application can be downloaded free of charge to a smart phone. By taking a picture of this code with the phone, readers will be transported directly to the FTBOA’s website to read the latest news, learn about membership or access the latest digital version of The Florida Horse. This code will appear in FEP and FTBOA advertisements as a convienent bridge to the website. Recently, QR codes have become more prevalent in marketing circles and have been integrated into both traditional and interactive advertising campaigns. They have been popular in Japan and Europe for the past decade and are growing in popularity in the U.S. PM Advertising was among the first agencies in the Thoroughbred business to utilize the technology. Studies indicate there are 4.6 billion mobile phone users in the world. Smart phones account for more than 30 percent of the mobile phone market, according to published reports. In addition, more and more users are utilizing mobile phones for social media interaction. As this migration continues, it’s more important than ever that we use mobile and digital media as well as traditional print to share our stories, nurture our relationship with readers and advertisers and encourage engagement with our brand. It is our hope that by adding this element we are enhancing the user experience by taking readers beyond the printed page. With FTBOA’s QR Code, we’re excited to offer members and readers of our publications yet another way to stay connected to Florida’s Thoroughbred industry. ■

Big Drama

Big Drama was awarded top sprinter of 2010 at last month’s Eclipse Awards ceremony in Miami Beach, but with a record-setting performance in the $100,000 Mr. Prospector Stakes (G3) at Gulfstream Park on Jan. 15, the Florida-bred horse indicated that he’s set for a big year in 2011 as well. Big Drama, a son of Ocala Stud Farm stallion Montbrook and a homebred for Ocala’s Harold Queen, set a track record for six furlongs at 1:08.12 while winning the Mr. Prospector by four lengths. It was his first start

since wiring the Breeders’ Cup Sprint (G1) at Churchill Downs in November. Big Drama now owns Gulfstream’s track records for six and seven furlongs, having set the seven-furlong mark of 1:20.88 in the 2009 Swale Stakes (G2), where he was demoted to second place after interfering with Floridabred This Ones for Phil. The Mr. Prospector was the fourth graded stakes victory for Big Drama and his ninth career stakes score. The 5-year-old horse has won 10 of his 17 starts and earned $2.7 million.

“The goal for the season is to get back to the Breeders’ Cup (Sprint) at Churchill Downs,” said trainer David Fawkes. “In the meantime, it’s one race at a time. It’s possible he could run here again, but he will get some breaks as the season goes along, so we’ll see.” With usual rider Eibar Coa aboard, Big Drama broke from the outside post in the field of six 4-year-olds and up and quickly went to the lead, carving out fractions of 22.12 seconds for the opening quarter-mile and 44.43 for a half-mile. Custom for Carlos, a threetime Grade 3 winner, chased Big Drama in second place throughout the race and challenged him at the top of the stretch with Julien Leparoux aboard. But when Coa roused Big Drama left-handed at the furlong marker, Big Drama quickly pulled away from Custom for Carlos and went on to win comfortably, improving to 6-for-7 with a runner-up finish at the six-furlong distance. “He’s not playing right now,” Coa said. “When he out-broke those horses inside – and they’re fast horses – I just let him go by himself. (Custom for Carlos) made a good move and got next to me, but it wasn’t enough. I knew Big Drama was going to run fast and good. I’m happy he got the track record. He deserves it.”

Florida-bred Decisive Moment broke through for his first stakes victory last month at Delta Downs, wiring the $250,000 Jean Lafitte Stakes by 3 ½ lengths. The son of Hartley/De Renzo Thoroughbreds stallion With Distinction was in control throughout the one-mile race and scored the second victory of his six-race career.

Determinato showed little determination in his final race of 2010, finishing seventh against fellow Florida-breds in the $125,000 Jack Price Juvenile Stakes at Calder Casino & Race Course in November. But the Closing

Argument colt began 2011 with a bang Jan. 14 at Gulfstream Park, scoring at 14-1 in the $100,000 Spectacular Bid Stakes. Determinato beat fellow Florida-bred Leave of Absence by 1 ¼ lengths in the six-furlong Spectacular Bid, finishing

Pomeroys Pistol Wins Forward Gal Pomeroys Pistol fired a big shot Jan. 30 at Gulfstream Park, winning the $200,000 Forward Gal Stakes (G2) by three-quarters of a length for her first stakes victory. Pomeroys Pistol, a daughter of Vinery stallion Pomeroy and a homebred for trainer Amy Tarrant’s Hardacre Farm LLC, had made her graded stakes debut in the Old Hat (G3) at Gulfstream on Jan. 5, finishing second to Final Mesa. She turned in a bullet workout at Palm Meadows on Jan. 24, breezing three furlongs in 36 seconds flat, and was full of run in the Forward Gal while making her third consecutive start under jockey Paco Lopez. Pomeroys Pistol ran in second place early

in 1:11.13 for his first stakes victory. “I thought our best chance was to be close to the pace,” Coa said. “He seems to run better when he’s into the race more. PlanA was to sit just off the speed, and that’s what we were able to do. I’ve worked him the last three times, and those works gave me a lot of confidence.” Determinato, out of the Jeblar mare Twilight Mirage, has won two of his six starts and earned $102,525 for trainer Larry Pilotti and owner Ron Marano, whose late father, Frank, bred the horse. Determinato also finished second to Florida-bred Uno Caliente in the $64,500 Birdonthewire Stakes at Calder in October. Determinato likely will run next in the sevenfurlong, $150,000 Hutcheson Stakes (G2) on Feb. 26. Leave of Absence, a son of Harlan’s Holiday bred by Mr. and Mrs. Barry Berkelhammer, was the second choice in the field after winning a $45,000 maiden special weight race by 1 ¼ lengths at Aqueduct in November, the second start of his career for trainer Rick Violette Jr.

in the seven-furlong Forward Gal, pressing the pace of Third Chance through a quarter-mile in 22.34 seconds and a halfmile in 44.69. Lopez asked the filly to pick it up midway around the turn, and she responded, surging to a 3 ½length lead at the top of the lane. She drifted out through the final furlong but had enough to hold off the favored Dancinginherdreams and jockey Julien Leparoux. The final time on a fast track was 1:22.89. Pomeroys Pistol has won two of her five starts for $188,990. She broke her maiden at first asking at Monmouth Park in August, wiring a $73,000 maiden special weight race by 6 ¾ lengths.

Little Mike Wins Fort Lauderdale by a Nose There was nothing diminutive about Little Mike’s heart Jan. 9 at Gulfstream Park, as the Florida-bred gelding held on to defeat Blues Street by a nose and earn his first stakes victory in the $100,000 Fort Lauderdale Stakes (G3). Little Mike, a 4-year-old son of Spanish Steps bred by Parkland’s Carlo E. Vaccarezza, led from start to finish in the 1 1/16mile race on Gulfstream’s firm turf course. He had just enough gas in the tank to hold off Blues Street, who had rallied from 10th Little Mike

place in the field of 11 4-year-olds and up. With usual rider Joe Bravo aboard, Little Mike quickly asserted himself, building a 1 ½length lead while carving out fractions of 23.08 seconds for the opening quarter-mile and 46.79 for a half-mile. Little Mike then gradually edged away from the field, reaching the top of the stretch with a 3 ½-length lead. Meanwhile, Blues Street and jockey Kent Desormeaux were rapidly chewing up real estate, circling rivals five-wide around the final turn to get to the top of the stretch in fifth place. Blues Street closed on the leader with every stride but never could pull even, as Little Mike stopped the clock in 1:40.52. Little Mike, who didn’t make his debut until age 3, has five wins from 10 starts and $209,970 in earnings for trainer Allen Iwinski and owners Priscilla Vaccarezza and KZ Stables.

Florida-bred Congrats Colt Sells For $100,000 at OBS

12 THE FLORIDA HORSE • FEBRUARY 2011

A Florida-bred yearling colt by leading freshman sire Congrats sold for $100,000 to top the consignor-preferred session of the OBS winter mixed sale last month. Congrats had three of the session’s four highest-priced horses. Eight of the day’s nine most expensive horses were yearlings. For the session, 113 horses sold for a total of $1.4 million, a 55 percent increase over last January’s consignor-preferred session, where 92 head brought $900,000. The average of $12,384 was a 26.6 percent increase from the $9,783 average at last year’s corresponding session. The median price soared to $9,000, up 76.5 percent from $5,100 in 2010. The buyback percentage was 30.7 percent; it was 33.3 percent last year. “I think it went well,” said Tom Ventura, OBS’s general manager and director of sales. “The numbers certainly went in the right direction. The average and median were both up, so I think it was a good day. We were really pleased with the numbers.” Congrats, who stood at Vinery in Summerfield last year before being relocated to Kentucky, was North America’s leading freshman sire in 2010 with $1.66 million in progeny earnings. The sale-topping colt, listed as hip No. 69, was purchased by F H M B, a pinhooking partnership that includes J.B. McKathan of McKathan Bros. Farm in Citra. The yearling was consigned by Andy Cant as agent. Hip No. 69 is out of the Salt Lake mare Toastoffriendship, who won seven races from ages 3 to 5 and earned $109,347. Her first foal

is a 2-year-old. Also during the opening session, a filly by Yes It’s True, hip No. 83, sold for $55,000; a Florida-bred filly by Congrats, hip No. 115, went for $48,000; a Florida-bred colt by Congrats, hip No. 100, drew a final bid of $40,000; a pair of Florida-bred colts by Journeyman Stud stallion Wildcat Heir, hip Nos. 89 and 16, went for $37,000 and $35,000; and a mare in foal to Majestic Warrior, hip No. 118, sold for $35,000. Hip #69 Hip No. 299, Trisha, a 4-year-old mare by Forest Camp consigned by Summerfield Sales, agent, went to Michael Sucher for $47,000 to top the open session of the sale. The dark bay or brown mare, out of stakes winner Trisha Runs, by Sharkey, is in foal to Congrats. The highest priced yearling of the open session was Hip No. 230, a colt by Master Command consigned by Bridlewood Farm, Agent, sold to Blackwood Stable for $28,000. The bay colt is out of stakes winner Quelle Surprise, by Slew Gin Fizz. For the session, 191 horses grossed $916,600, compared with 194 horses selling for a total of $727,300 in last year’s open session. The average was $4,799, up 28 percent from $3,749 a year ago, while the median was $3,000, up 50 percent from $2,000 in 2010. The buyback percentage was 32 percent; it was 32.4 percent last year. Next on the OBS agenda is the March Selected Sale of Two-Year-Olds in Training, set for Tuesday & Wednesday, March 15 and 16. The Under Tack Show is scheduled for Thursday & Friday, March 10 & 11.

Always a Princess Stuns Blind Luck FTC Stallion Season Auction raises $68,550 A total of $68,550 was raised last month for Florida Thoroughbred Charities during FTC’s annual live auction of stallion seasons at OBS, which followed the conclusion of the opening session of the OBS winter mixed sale. A season to Journeyman Stud stallion Wildcat Heir brought the highest price of the auction. Since its inception in 1990, FTC has helped to strengthen and improve the Thoroughbred industry, the state and the community by contributing more than $3.5 million for charity. Proceeds from the fundraiser are dispersed through FTC to equine/education and community-related charities.

Eclipse Award champion Blind Luck came up short in her 2011 debut Jan. 16 when unable to catch the streaking Floridabred Always a Princess in Santa Anita’s Grade 2, $150,000 El Encino Stakes for 4year-old fillies at 1 1/16 miles. Always a Princess is a daughter of Leroidesanimaux, who relocated to Stonewall Farm Ocala this year from Kentucky and stands Always a Princess for a $10,000 stud fee. “Obviously, we were over the moon,” Michelle Hemingway, who handles stallion season sales for Stonewall Farm Ocala, said of the victory by Always a Princess. “We had high hopes for her, especially on that surface. We feel

that as a 4-year-old, she’s just coming into herself and that her win proves that Leroidesanimaux is a three-dimensional sire, with strong winners on turf, dirt and Poly. We think 2011 is going to be a huge year for him as a sire.” The result gave revenge to Arnold Zetcher’s homebred, who lost to Blind Luck in the Grade 1 Oak Leaf Stakes in 2009 as well as in that year’s Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies at Santa Anita when fifth behind Blind Luck’s third. For Always a Princess, the win was her fourth in eight starts, and the winner’s check for $90,000 increased her career earnings to $426,048. –With reporting by Nick Fortuna.

Wickedly Perfect sells for $800,000

PHOTO BY Z

14 THE FLORIDA HORSE • FEBRUARY 2011

To horsemen with a good eye for quality horses,Wickedly Perfect was indeed deemed flawless at last month’s Keeneland’s January Horses of All Ages Sale, where the Florida-bred filly brought the day’s second-highest price of $800,000. Wickedly Perfect, a daughter of former Vinery stallion Congrats bred by Y-Lo Racing Stables, was purchased by Naohiro Hosoda, representing Katsumi Yoshida’s Northern Farm in Japan. Northern Farm also purchased Florida-bred Dubai Majesty for $1.1 million at Keeneland in November following the mare’s victory in the $909,000 Breeders’ Cup Filly and Mare Sprint (G1) at Churchill Downs. Dubai Majesty was retired and sent to the breeding shed, but there was no immediate word on plans for Wickedly Perfect, who was offered as a racing or broodmare prospect by consignor Three Chimneys Sales. Wickedly Perfect had three wins and a runner-up finish from four starts as a 2-year-old in 2010 and earned $404,600 for owners STD Racing Stable, Peter Moehrke and Rafter JR Ranch. She earned frontrunning victories in the Darley Alcibiades Stakes (G1) at Keeneland in October and the Sorrento Stakes (G3) at Del Mar in August for trainer Doug O’Neill. She also was the runner-up behind Florida-bred Tell a Kelly in the Darley Debutante (G1) at Del Mar in September. Wickedly Perfect, out of the Tactical Cat mare Wickedly Wise, was a $70,000 purchase at OBS in April.

Surp Sunshine State

BY NICK FORTUNA lorida-breds and California-breds successfully defended their home turf in the 9th annual Sunshine Millions on Jan. 29, with Florida-breds winning all three stakes races at Gulfstream Park and Cal-breds sweeping the three races at Santa Anita Park. In the end, however, Florida came out on top, winning the competition 33-21. The Sunshine Millions, which offered a total of $1.8 million in purses, was open to horses bred in Florida and California. Five points are awarded for each victory, three points for each runner-up finish and one point for each third-place showing, and the state with the most points wins. Florida-breds pitched a shutout at Gulfstream Park, taking all available 27 points, as Tackleberry won the $500,000 Classic, Trip for A. J. took the $300,000 Filly and Mare Turf and Aegean won the $200,000 Filly and Mare Sprint. In California, Caracortado won the $300,000 Turf, Evening Jewel captured the $300,000 Distaff, with Florida-bred Amazing finishing second, and Amazombie won the $200,000 Sprint, with Florida-bred Apriority the runner-up. In the Classic, Tackleberry led a day full of surprises at Gulfstream Park, leading from start to finish to win by 2 Âź lengths at odds of 27-1. The son of Ocala Stud Farm stallion Montbrook improved to 2-for-2 when running 1 1/8 miles, having won the Fred Hooper Handicap (G3) at Calder in December in his only previous try at the distance. Tackleberry, bred by Ocala Stud Farm and trained by owner Luis Olivares, went right to the lead in the Classic under Javier Santiago and never looked back. He built a one-length lead through fractions of 24.41 seconds for a quarter-mile and 48.78 for a half-mile. Tackleberry reached the top of the lane

with a 1 ½-length lead and proved impossible to catch, stopping the clock in 1:48.52. “He loves to run and wants the lead,” Olivares said. “He’s a fighter. He looks like he’s dead at the top of the stretch, and he fights back” “The trainer told me to go to the lead no matter what,” Santiago said. “He said this horse does his best when he’s on the lead. I was a little surprised there wasn’t more pressure on me, but I guess the other riders saw my horse as a long shot and left us alone. In the stretch, I was asking him and asking him. I wasn’t looking back at anybody else.”

Trip for A.J. beat Askbut I Wonʼttell in the Filly and Mare Turf.

Tackleberry paid $56.60, $23 and $12.80. Duke of Mischief returned $9.40 and $6.20 after finishing 1 ¼ lengths ahead of Dream Maestro, who paid $10.40 to show. It was a nose farther back to the favored First Dude, Florida’s champion 3-year-old of 2010. Tackleberry had a stellar 2010 campaign, with five wins and two runner-up finishes in eight tries. The 4-year-old gelding also wired the $125,000 Jack Dudley Sprint Handicap by 5 ¼ lengths against Florida-breds at Calder in November. He took a four-race winning streak into his 2011 debut at Gulfstream on Jan. 8, when he finished fourth in the Hal’s Hope Stakes (G3) after stumbling at the start. For

Kaplan and owners Ione and Herbert Elkins. ■ In the Filly and Mare Turf, Trip for A. J. withstood a strong rally from Askbut I Won’ttell to win by a halflength. The homebred for Peter Fuller earned four stakes victories last year, including a score in the $75,000 Calder Oaks, and has won seven of her 14 starts for $401,145. Trip for A. J., a 4-year-old daughter of Trippi, settled in fourth place early under John Velazquez as Floridabred Becky’s Exchange led the field through a quartermile in 24.36 seconds and a half-mile in 48.67. She angled outside the leaders leaving the far turn, rallied to gain the lead near the eighth pole and had just enough left to hold of Askbut I Won’ttell, who was closing fast on the outside under Shaun Bridgmohan. Trip for A. J.’s final time for 1 1/8 miles on a firm course was 1:49.49. She returned $14.40, $7.60 and $5.40. Askbut I Won’ttell paid $4 and $3.20 after finishing 2 ¼ lengths clear of Scolara, who paid $4.80 to show. “I think a mile and an eighth might be a little far for her, so I wanted to reserve as much as I could for the stretch run,” Velazquez said. “It worked perfectly.” “She’s been so exciting to have,” winning trainer Milton Wolfson said. “She runs on turf or dirt, but I’d rather keep her on turf as long as possible.” Askbut I Won’ttell, a 5-year-old Horse Chestnut (SAF) mare bred by Hidden Point Farm and Harold Queen, entered the race off Grade 3 scores in the Cardinal Handicap on the Churchill Downs lawn in November and the My Charmer Handicap on Calder’s turf course in December. She’s won six of her 17 starts and earned $380,132 for trainer and co-owner Chris Block. Scolara, a 6-year-old Quiet American mare and a homebred for Haras Santa Maria de Araras, has won five of her 27 starts for $456,039.

■ The Filly and Mare Sprint provided the most exciting finish of the day, as Aegean held off a fast-closing Jessica Is Back to win by a nose. Aegean, a 4-year-old Northern Afleet filly bred by Vegso Racing Stable, got the third stakes win of her career, having taken the Kentucky Juvenile (G3) at Churchill Downs in 2009 and the $88,000 Dream Supreme Stakes at Churchill Downs last November. Trained by Wesley Ward for Steven Michael Bell, Aegean has five wins from 13 starts and $329,532 in earnings. She was a $70,000 purchase as a yearling at OBS in August 2008. With Jeffrey Sanchez aboard, Aegean ran in the middle of the pack as Florida-breds Wildcat Heiress and Feel That Fire dueled for the lead through fractions of 22.29 seconds for a quarter-mile and 45.03 for a halfmile. Aegean moved up to engage the leaders around the turn, stuck her head in front at the top of the stretch and outlasted Jessica Is Back, finishing the six-furlong sprint in 1:09.61. “The plan was to let the speed go and take a hold of her and sit about a length off the pace,” Sanchez said. “She

waited a little bit on the other horses in the stretch, but when I hit her with the whip left-handed, she really took off.” “She started to get going good last fall, winning the race at Churchill Downs on Breeders’ Cup weekend,” Ward said. “The goal this year will be the (Breeders’ Cup) Filly & Mare Sprint. I want to space her races out pretty good from here, so I don’t have anything picked out just yet.” Aegean paid $20.20, $9.40 and $6. Jessica Is Back returned $11.40 and $7.60 after finishing three-quarters of a length ahead of Feel That Fire, who paid $4.80 to show. Jessica Is Back, scheduled to be retired and bred later this winter, won the Grade 1 Princess Rooney Handicap at Calder last summer. The 7-year-old daughter of Bridlewood Farm stallion Put It Back has 12 win from 48 starts and $836,765 in earnings for trainer Marty Wolfson. She’s owned by Carolyn Vogel. Feel That Fire, a 4-year-old filly by Lightnin N Thunder and a homebred for Red Oak Stable, was making her stakes debut for trainer Gregory Sacco. She has two wins from four starts for $90,000. ■

Mark Roberts accepted Adena Springsʼ Eclipse Award for leading breeder.

Adena Springs was represented by six Florida-bred stakes winners, including graded stakes winner Pleasant Prince. All totaled, Adena Springs’ six Florida-bred stakes winners won 11 stakes. Pleasant Prince, a 3-year-old colt by Indy King out of the Pleasant Tap mare Archduchess, was a standout sophomore runner. Owned by Kenneth and Sarah Ramsey, Pleasant Prince captured two derbies on the season. He won the Ohio Derby (G3) on July 31 at Thistledown scored by a nose over Worldly with Capitol Appeal third. He followed that with a tally in the Oklahoma Derby on October 10 at Remington Park. Trained by Wesley Ward, Pleasant Prince also posted a second by a nose to Ice Box in the Florida Derby (G1). He was also third in The Cliff’s Edge Derby Trial (G3) and in the Smarty Jones Stakes. On the season, Pleasant Prince earned $530,788. Adena Springs was also represented by Florida-bred stakes winners Bay to Bay (American 100 Guinea Stakes); Cool Bullet (Hansel Stakes & Rumson Stakes); Immortal Eyes (Charles Town Invitational Dash); Red Lead (Curribot Stakes, Sunland Park Handicap & Jim Rasmussen Memorial Stakes) and Royal Currier (Grey Planet Stakes & Southhampton Stakes). Either in his name or as Adena Springs, Stronach has won a record seven Eclipse Awards as Outstanding Breeder (2000, 2004-2008 and 2010). Stronach, who established the Ocala division of Adena Springs in 1996, also has Thoroughbred operations in Paris, Kentucky and Aurora, Ontario. JACKS OR BETTER FARM - $2,898,812

When your leading runner is an all-out racehorse named Awesome Feather, it can vault you to new heights. Such was the case with Fred and Jane Brei, who established Ocala-based Jacks

Or Better Farm in 1997, and their homebred Awesome Feather. Not only did Awesome Feather sweep the fillies’ division of the Florida Stallion Stakes, she did so by an amazing combined winning margin of 17 lengths. That feat made her only the third filly to sweep that division of the Florida Stallion Stakes. For most racehorses, this would’ve been a season’s worth of accomplishment. But then again, Awesome Feather wasn’t just your average racehorse in 2010. The 2-year-old filly by Awesome of Course out of the Gone West mare Precious Feather had one more big score on the season. Having never Fred Brei run outside of Calder Race Course, she marched into Louisville liked she owned Churchill Downs. On Nov. 5, Awesome Feather cruised to victory in the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies (G1). It was a win that would earn her the EclipseAward as 2010 champion 2-year-old filly, as well as being named champion Florida-bred juvenile filly. Awesome Feather was undefeated on the season, posting six wins and banking $1,495,746. Two days after her BC Juvenile Fillies win, the Breis sold Awesome Feather for $2.3 million to Frank Stronach at the Fasig-Tipton Kentucky November sale. Jacks Or Better Farm was also represented in 2010 by Florida-bred graded stakes winner Krypton. The 3-year-old colt by Rock Hard Ten out of the deceased Freedom Reigns, by Unbridled’s Song, won the Hill Prince Stakes (G3) on June 4 at Belmont Park. Owned by Harvey A. Clark and Ron Winchell, Krypton was third in the National Museum of Racing Hall of Fame Stakes (G2). He also posted a third in the Virginia Derby (G2) to earn $177,791 on the season. GILBERT G. CAMPBELL - $2,857,830

It was an outstanding season for Gilbert G. Campbell’s Florida-bred runners. Campbell recorded seven Florida-bred stakes winners, including graded homebred stakes winner Fly by Phil. Those seven Florida-bred stakes winners won a combined 12 stakes on the season. Campbell, who has served multiple terms as the president of the Florida Thoroughbred Breeders’ and Owners’ Association, established his Williston-based Stonehedge Farm South in 1988. Fly by Phil, a 3-year-old gelding by Act of Duty out of the Deputy Minister mare True Mood, made only one start on New Year’s Day in 2010. But it was a winning Gilbert & Marilyn Campbell

report

Overview Of Jan. 20, 2011 Board Meeting

SERITA HULT PHOTO

YONAGUSKA COFFEE BOY

By FRED BREI A consultant was hired to represent the board of directors for a financial review of all operations as part of “top down” review of FTBOA. In addition to that person operating independently, I appointed a financial committee consisting of two officers and a general member; the general member being Pam Mattox; the officers were Bonnie Heath and Phil Matthews. As of the Jan. 20th board meeting, the financial consultant, Ms. Davis, and Heath from the review committee, reported that the Association review had been completed with no significant findings. The Promotional Trust Fund is in the process of being worked on. Upon the completion of that review, Florida Equine Publications will be reviewed. Board members reviewed the responses that they have heard or been given about the President’s Reports and unanimously decided that it should be continued on an ongoing basis to not only address concerns brought up at the special membership meeting, but to address misconceptions and accusations as they occur. It was further agreed the column should continue after all questions have been addressed. The Board reviewed the final Gulfstream Park Florida-bred stakes and FOA agreement that it had previously approved by telephone vote. The Board reviewed the approval letter from the Department of Business and Professional Regulation for the Association’s plans for Stallion Owner and Breeders’Awards payments. ■ At the Dec. 3 membership meeting, the FTBOA was accused of borrowing a half-million dollars more than the amount owed on the office building. The question posed at the meeting was: “When the office mortgage was refinanced in July 2010, did the board approve or was the board aware of the promissory note signed July 16, 2010, in the amount of $1 million, which was substantially more than the mortgage balance?” In response to that question, the original first mortgage loan for the building, entered into and signed Aug. 22, 2000, was in the amount of $1 million and was made by Florida Equine Publications Inc. The loan matured Aug. 21, 2010, and was modified and extended Oct. 6, 2010. The balance on the loan at this time is $524,788. By modifying and extending the original loan, it was not necessary to apply for and require the underwriting of a new mortgage loan. The savings in title insurance, application fees, transfer taxes, surveys, appraisals, etc., saved the company more than $10,000. Because this is a fixed-term loan, no advances are allowed under the existing terms. SunTrust Bank has confirmed in a letter to the FTBOA dated Jan. 11, 2011, that the above referenced mortgage loan is a fixed-rate/fixed-term loan with a maturity date of Oct. 1, 2020.

Musket Man and Suave to Vinery Florida

The first foal by 2008 Eclipse Champion Sprinter Benny the Bull was born on Jan. 26 at Ben-D South in Ocala. Out of the multiple stakesplaced mare Color Me Special, the colt is owned by his breeder Greg James, who also raced Florida-bred champion Benny the Bull. “This is a nice colt,” said Ben-D manager Andy Cant. “He’s definitely the type of foal that will make everyone’s short list.” Winner of six stakes, including the De Francis Dash (G1) and Dubai Golden Shaheen (G1), Benny the Bull stands at Vinery in Summerfield, Fl.

Musket Man and Suave have been added to the stallion roster of Vinery in Florida, it was announced last month. Musket Man, a 5-year-old, millionaire son of Yonaguska, will begin his stallion career for a $2,500 stud fee. A Grade 2 winner with six victories, including four stakes scores, Musket Man also placed eight times from 16 career outings and earned more than $1.2 million. “Musket Man is an exciting addition to the Vinery Florida roster,” said stallion director Declan Doyle. “As a Grade 2 winner and Grade 1- Musket Man placed millionaire, he dodged no one at the racetrack while demonstrating the qualities and class breeders crave in a stallion. Local breeders will no doubt remember his stirring win in the Suave Tampa Bay Derby (G3).” Raced by Eric Fein and Vic Carlson and trained by Derek Ryan, Musket Man was never worse than third in 14 consecutive starts, including five Grade 1 events, which included the Kentucky Derby, Preakness, Met Mile, Whitney and Carter. A model of consistency, Musket Man won at distances from six furlongs to 1 1/8 miles at ages 2 through 4. On the road to the 2009 Triple Crown, Mus-

Florida breeders Doc and Deborah Silveira reported the first foal by Grade 2 stakes-winning millionaire Two Step Salsa was born Jan.12 at the Silveira’s Double C Farm.“We have a strong and healthy dark bay colt. We’re very pleased with how correct this colt is and will be breeding back to him (Two Step Salsa) this year,” said Deborah. The colt is out of the Metfield mare Blindfold. Two Step Salsa, by Petionville, stands at Get Away Farm in Reddick, Fl.

ket Man won the Tampa Bay Derby and the Illinois Derby (G2) and finished third in the Kentucky Derby and Preakness after encountering troubled trips. Musket Man is by Yonaguska, from the sire line of champion sprinter Cherokee Run. Out of the stakes-placed Fortunate Prospect mare Fortuesque, Musket Man comes from a strong family of stakes winners, including champion 2year-old Silent Screen. Suave, a millionaire son of A.P. Indy—Urbane, by Citidancer, will stand for $4,500. Suave’s first crop of 2-year-olds had 16 winners and four stakes horses. As a racehorse, Suave was a multiple graded stakes winner and earned more than $1.3 million. His dam, Urbane, also earned more than a million dollars in her racing career. The multiple Grade 1 winner bankrolled $1,018,568 and notched eight career victories. Tom Ludt, president of Vinery Ltd., said, “Sure we wanted to find another son of A.P. Indy, but the key was that any potential stud had to be positioned with serious racehorse prospects. We are excited to work with the Darby Dan staff and I think this is a win/win arrangement, not only for us but for Florida breeders.” THE FLORIDA HORSE • FEBRUARY 2011 47

A lifelong horseman,

David Fawkes finds himself in the spotlight following Big Drama’s championship campaign in 2010

PALMER PHOTO

By AMANDA ROXBOROUGH he road from his parents’ Chicago livery stable, to center stage at The Fontainebleau Hotel in Miami Beach accepting the Eclipse Award for his champion sprinter Big Drama, has been a steady and dedicated one for David Fawkes. Where he lacked the enthusiasm for farm life and riding lessons, “I hated it, I had to get up in the morning and feed horses, chickens, donkeys and all the other farm animals,” his introduction to the racetrack through family friend Don Gibbons, a trainer on the Chicago circuit, was where he found his passion for horses. “When I got to the racetrack I fell in love with the horses again,” Fawkes said. At 16, Fawkes went to work for Gibbons and began exercising racehorses. “Don Gibbons taught me the most about training horses that I use today. Take care of your horses and know how important it is to be serious about work. When you’re at work, work is work. I did work for others and I learned a lot of what not to do.” He even had a short career as a jockey in 1976, winning a few races and realizing quickly his talents lay elsewhere in the industry. One thing Fawkes did excel at was his ability to gallop a horse. He earned a reputaEclipse Award-winner tion as a good hand on a horse and after a very brief Big Drama training assignment for his father’s small band of race-

CEN T horses, Fawkes was assistant trainer to several successful Chicago-based trainers. His last assistant job for Florida-based Butch Richards presented the opportunity to go out on his own again. In 1996 Dr. Frazier of Pyrite Stables offered Fawkes a chance to train four horses. He got off to a fast start, winning with the first three horses he saddled. “That really jump started us,” Fawkes said. Based at Calder since he started training, Fawkes estimates 60 percent of his stable is made up of Florida owners and breeders.And he’s had some fast horses. A favorite being Florida-bred Forty One Carats, who was a ticket to many top racetracks and earnedTeam Fawkes national exposure, winning Grade 1 events and setting a track record. His success with Florida-breds has been key to his business. “Florida horses are good, if not better than ever,” Fawkes said. “A Florida-bred is a solid, strong horse. I’d take a Florida-bred against any other horse. Time out in the sun, not a bunch of snow on the ground and they can get out and run.There’s limestone under the grass in Ocala, just like in Lexington, and they grow a good, strong horse.” With his years of experience on the Florida circuit, the racetrack issues are nothing new to Fawkes. Though based at Calder, he would hate to see the diversity of Florida racetracks taken away. “Absolutely no benefit at all to have year-round racing at one track,” he said. How boring is that? You need change. If horses don’t do well over one surface then they go to another one and they blossom.” When owner Harold Queen brought horses to

Florida-bred Duke of Mischief most recently finished second in the Sunshine Millions Classic, becoming Floridaʼs 133rd millionaire.

who won more than $200,000. Like many racehorses, he was claimed from the owners and went on with his career. “I kept track of him and found him running at a Nebraska county fair,” said Celia. “I couldn’t bear to watch him being eased in his races anymore and knew I had to do something.” And she did. She called up the trainer and offered him $1,000 and got him on a van back to sunny Florida. Her goal for Florida TRAC is to raise awareness and accountability for the welfare of racehorses after they have finished their racing careers. The Fawkes’ also are dedicated parents to their 13-yearold daughter Natalie, who also has the racing bug. It was a family affair in the winner’s circle at Churchill Downs. “Having my wife and daughter in the winner’s circle along with my mother who also was there, was a dream come true.” Business is up since his trip to Kentucky last November. Before the Breeders’ Cup, Fawkes had a string of 40 horses. Now the barn has filled to over 60. The recognition has brought prominent owners, including Donald Dizney. What makes his achievements to date even more special is the majority of Fawkes’ horses have been homebred or sales horses that weren’t sold and given to him to train. “I’ve never had a guy go to sale and buy big money horses,” he said. “I bought Duke of Mischief for $40,000 and he’s made more than of a million.” Fawkes has an enthusiastic yet realistic perspective on the future of the industry. “I hope it can strengthen,” he said. “I would feel bad if it declines to the point where my daughter can’t do it. It needs a lot of help

from the horsemen as well as the racetracks. “Bring back the love of the horse,” he added. “It’s all about the horse. That’s where it all started and that’s what we’ve got to get back to and pull it all together. It’s the only shot we’ve got.” He says he witnessed the perfect example of racing at its finest on his trip to the Breeders’ Cup. “If you could have seen what John Sheriffs did for racing, he couldn’t do enough for the patron. If he could have brought Zenyatta into the grandstand to the people, he would have. We need hundreds of guys like him. I bring people to the barn all the time and let them see the horses, get them involved and close to the horses. Treat them good and bring the horse to them,” Fawkes said. What has really led to Fawkes’ success is his true horsemanship, quality character and his ability to train a horse. He believes his experience from galloping horses has been a huge benefit to him as a trainer. ”I can look at a horse and know how he is supposed to go,” he said. Fawkes also knows who to keep in his pocket. “Two trainers that helped me the most that I didn’t work for are Allen Jerkins and Bill Mott,” he said. “I called Allen two months ago and asked him questions. They’re good horse trainers; they know what they’re doing.” It’s that thirst for knowledge and dedication to the sport that makes it no surprise that Fawkes humbly, yet proudly, accepted the Eclipse Award trophy for a Florida-bred horse that he skillfully trains. ■ ROXBOROUGH PHOTO

HAIL THE

CHAMPIONS Florida-bred Breeders’ Cup winners Awesome ■ AWESOME FEATHER 2010 Eclipse Award – Champion 2-Year-Old Filly Feather, Big Drama and Dubai Majesty The 2010 racing accomplishments of Awesome all garnered 2010 Eclipse Awards. Feather bring to mind the Muhammad Ali rhyme: all them the champion triumvirate. Florida-breds Awesome Feather, Big Drama and Dubai Majesty, each who had captured Breeders’ Cup races, added to their legacy with 2010 Eclipse Awards. Of the 23 Florida-bred Breeders’ Cup champions, 18 have also claimed Eclipse Awards. The latest trio of Florida-bred national champions brings the total to 49 from the Sunshine State who have collected Eclipse Awards.

Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee. A lightweight in size, the smallish Awesome Feather nonetheless delivered a potent sting to her rivals. Fred and Jane Brei’s Jacks Or Better homebred left them reeling in her wake as she cruised through an undefeated championship season. Awesome Feather broke her maiden by five and three-quarter lengths on May 1 at Calder Race Course. It was a sign of what was to come. From there, she would reel off five straight stakes wins in stunning fashion. The 2-year-old filly by Awesome of Course out of the Gone West mare Precious Feather notched her first stakes win in her next start. Awesome Feather captured the J J’sdream Stakes by a length and a half on July 10. Then she launched an all-out assault on the fillies division of the Florida Stallion Stakes series. Awesome Feather swept the Desert Vixen Stakes, Susan’s Girl Stakes and My Dear Girl Stakes by a combined margin of 17 lengths. She became only the third filly to sweep that FSS division in the 29-year history of the series, joining Nancy’s Glitter (1997) and Aclassysassylassy (2004). It was obvious that Awesome Feather needed a bigger challenge and the Breeders’ PALMER PHOTO

Cup Juvenile Fillies (G1) fit the bill. On November 5 at Churchill Downs, Awesome Feather showed her championship colors. She powered to a BC Juvenile Fillies victory, winning by two and a quarter lengths. Awesome Feather actually led a Florida-bred sweep of the race with R Heat Lightning second and Delightful Mary third. Trained by Stanley Gold, Awesome Feather posted six wins in six starts to bank $1,495,746. Two days after her BC Juvenile Fillies triumph, the Breis sold Awesome feather for $2.3 million to Frank Stronach at the Fasig-Tipton Kentucky November sale.

■ BIG DRAMA 2010 Eclipse Award – Champion Male Sprinter Harold L. Queen’s homebred Big Drama definitely lived up to his name. The lightning-fast colt scored dramatic wins to make headlines when it mattered the most. And when all the dust settled at the end of the season, Big Drama had sped to two of the racing industry’s biggest prizes—a Breeders’ Cup victory and an Eclipse Award. Big Drama opened up his championship season with a win in the Ponche Handicap at Calder Race Course. While still at Calder, he encored with a win in the Smile Sprint Handicap (G2). Then it was time for the Florida-bred millionaire to hit the road with the Breeders’ Cup the ultimate goal. Spending part of the summer at Saratoga, Big Drama notched a pair of seconds in key Grade I races. He was second in the Alfred G. Vanderbilt Handicap (G1) and the Forego Stakes (G1). Trainer David Fawkes then took Big Drama back to his Calder base and simply trained him to the Breeders’ Cup on November 6 at Churchill Downs. The plan worked to perfection. When the gates sprung for the Breeders’ Cup Sprint (G1), Big Drama was all revved up like a sports car and roared quickly to the lead. On cruise control, he covered the opening quarter in :21.34 and the half mile in :44.55. Big Drama was really never threatened, winning from gate to wire by a length and a half in 1:09.05 for the six furlongs. By Montbrook out of Riveting Drama, by Notebook, Big Drama collected $1,080,000 for the BC Sprint victory. It padded the 4-year-old colt’s lifetime earnings to $2,639,560. Big Drama’s sire Montbrook stands at Ocala Stud.

■ DUBAI MAJESTY 2010 Eclipse Award – Champion Female Sprinter

PALMER PHOTO

Dubai Majesty was the consummate racehorse in 2010. The 5-year-old Essence of Dubai mare, bred by Harold J. Plumley, raced at seven different tracks, won at sprint distances of 5 ½, 6 and 7 furlongs, and notched wins on dirt, turf and Polytrack. All in all, a championship resume. Dubai Majesty got the season off to a winning start with a victory in the Winning Colors Stakes (G3) at Churchill Downs on May 3. Her next stops in the winner’s circle would come at Monmouth Park and Keeneland. On August 15, she won the Incredible Revenge Stakes at the former and posted a win in the Thoroughbred Club of America Stakes (G2) on October 9 at the latter. Owners Martin Racing Stable (Bill and Stephanie Martin) and Dan Morgan, who had purchased Dubai Majesty privately from Plumley in 2008, then had a decision to make. Not nominated as foal to the Breeders’ Cup, Dubai Majesty would have to be supplemented to the BC Filly & Mare Sprint (G1) on November 5 at Churchill Downs. The cost was $90,000. The partnership decided to pay the supplement fee and it would prove to be a prudent investment. In the BC Filly & Mare Sprint, Dubai Majesty stalked the early leaders after a half mile in :45.44. When Dubai Majesty swung four-wide, she shifted gears to quickly take

Page 55

the lead by the top of the stretch. From there, she cruised to a decisive win by two and a quarter lengths in 1:22.31 for the seven furlongs. Trained by Bret Calhoun, Dubai Majesty brought her seasonal earnings to $1,009,724 with her BC victory. Her lifetime bankroll was padded to $1,509,243. At the Fasig-Tipton Kentucky sale on Nov. 7, Dubai Majesty sold for $1.1 million to Katsumi Yoshida.

arry was standing in the middle of the barn aisle, and from the sheepish, wide-eyed look on his blaze face, he clearly knew he was in trouble. The hay bales stored at the end of the barn were torn and strewn about, and there was a pile of steaming manure deposited on the concrete near the scene of the crime. Yes, Larry is a big, goofy horse, and he had played with the latch on his stall door until it finally jimmied open. I’m lucky he was loose for only a few minutes, and I’m

But as I stuck him back in the stall (and tied him in the corner for good measure), the clean-up chores threw another wrench in my afternoon schedule and put me in a crummy mood. Why in the world, I thought for the thousandth time, are we completely enamored with these creatures that require so much time and dedication? What makes us happy to adjust schedules and budgets around animals that have a special knack of adding instant drama to our lives? Why do we happily part with sleep, spend hard-earned dollars and live such unconventional lives — just to have some time together with a good horse? I bet you’ve asked the same questions,

and I bet your answers look like mine. We do this because we love it. Because it’s in us and it’s who we are. Because there’s nothing like hearing horses as they munch on breakfast, and there’s nothing like seeing a healthy newborn foal gallop across a pasture. We love fast racehorses and slow pleasure horses, riding horses and driving horses. The smell of bridle leather and fresh alfalfa can make us smile, and no matter the horse’s color, size or shape, they bring a quality to our lives that can’t be found anywhere else. Larry doesn’t get to hang out in that stall anymore, and I think he’s given up on being an escape artist for a while. By next week, we’ll probably have some new excitement to deal with. But it’s O.K. I do this because I love it. It’s a privilege to journey with you.

Summer Best P.S. This month, I hope you’ll make time to enjoy some of the many activities taking place in Florida’s horse industry. The Sunshine State offers the very best of equestrian competition and entertainment, from coast to coast. For a complimentary calendar of events, or to share your thoughts and editorial ideas, send me a note at summer@flequine.com.

HORSE COUNCIL NEWS

Control Split as 112th Congress Convenes The 112th Congress convened in early January, facing many of the same issues left over from the previous Congress. But they might remain on the table as the emphasis in this Congress will be on cutting government programs and spending, reducing the deficit and debt, and spurring job growth. The House of Representatives has shifted to Republican control. Democrats still control the Senate, but the majority is smaller. More than 100 new members have taken their seats in the house and senate, nearly a 20 percent turnover. “Issues important to the horse industry will be on the table. Comprehensive immigration reform, Internet wagering, tax reform, animal welfare, trails legislation, equine health, and the farm bill are important to the equine community,” said Jay Hickey, president of the American Horse Council, which represents the horse industry in Washington. “Overriding all debate, however, is how existing programs can be paid for and whether new programs can be initiated in a Congress that will be focused on reducing spending and the size of government.” Under new House rules, any federal program, whether existing or new, involving spending increases must be offset by cuts of an equal amount in another program. The program cannot be funded by tax increases. “In addition, Congress will be looking for ways to raise much-needed revenue. The horse industry must be vigilant to ensure that such revenue is not raised unfairly at its expense,” Hickey said.

In what’s been called a “wave” election by many, and a “shellacking” by President Obama, the Republicans gained control of the House in the November elections, picking up 63 seats. Ninety-six new members are in the House freshman class, only nine of whom are Democrats. The ratio is 242 Republicans and 193 Democrats. In the Senate, Republicans gained seven seats, leaving the Democrats in control, but with less of a cushion. The Senate now includes 53 Democrats and 47 Republicans, with 16 new Members. Neither party is close enough to the 60 votes needed to stop a filibuster under Senate procedures and force through controversial legislation; but the Senate is considering revising the filibuster rules and that may make it easier to get bills to the floor. There are new leaders in the House. John Boehner (R-OH) has been elected Speaker of the House. Eric Cantor (R-VA) is the new Majority Leader. Former Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) is now the Minority Leader and Steny Hoyer (D-MD) the Minority Whip. Senator Harry Reid (DNV) will remain as Senate Majority Leader and Senator Mitch McConnell (R-KY) remains Minority Leader. With the Republican takeover of the House, the chairmanships of all the House Committees have passed to Republicans from Democrats. The makeup of the House Committees has also changed with Republicans having many more seats on each committee. This will make it easier for Republicans to pass legislation in the House. But the Senate is still controlled by Democ-

rats and getting some House bills through the Senate will still be difficult. Then there is always the final backstop of a Presidential veto. So there’s no clear sailing for Republicans. While Republicans have made strong gains, bi-partisanship and compromise will be necessary to get any bills actually passed into law. A fundamental question to be answered by the new Congress is whether the bi-partisan cooperation exhibited in the recentlyconcluded lame-duck session of the last Congress will hold for the new Congress. That lame-duck session saw the extension of the Bush-era tax cuts, the reinstatement of the estate tax, the extension of unemployment benefits, the ratification of the nuclear arms treaty with Russia, and the repeal of “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell.” But there is precedent for cooperation and compromise when each party controls one chamber. That split control has seemed to clarify the need to work together if anything is to get done. “Like most industries, the horse industry’s legislative concerns don’t break along partisan lines. The industry must work on a bi-partisan basis with members of Congress from both sides of the aisle,” Hickey said. “The AHC and the horse industry have been working with Congress for four decades. This is a new Congress with more than 100 new members. The AHC has already called on its Congressional Cavalry to welcome both the new and returning Members of Congress and to explain the importance of the horse industry to the nation’s agricultural, economic, sporting and recreational life.” “The horse industry has a $112 billion affect on the economy and support 1.5 million jobs. Every state has a horse industry. Forty-five states have more than 20,000 horses. The equine community must continue to ensure that the 112th Congress recognizes that,” Hickey said.

Introducing the World’s Richest HITS Ocala offers the first opportunity to qualify for the $500,000 event. Qualifying specifications for the world’s richest hunter class have been finalized and are available online at www.HitsShows.com. The inaugural $500,000 HITS 3’3 Hunter Prix Final will take place the weekend of Sept. 10-11, and will be featured alongside the second annual $1 Million Grand Prix at HITS-on-the-Hudson in Saugerties, N.Y. This unprecedented Hunter Prix Final will be the culmination of more than 30 qualifying events that will take place at each of the five HITS horse show circuits starting in January 2011. The first opportunity for riders to start qualifying for the $500,000 HITS 3’3” Hunter Prix Final will be at the three HITS Winter Circuits. The Devoucoux Hunter Prix will be the official qualifying class for the $500,000 HITS 3’3” Hunter Prix Final and will be offered as a weekly event at the HITS Ocala Winter Circuit, HITS Desert Circuit in Thermal, Ca.; HITS Arizona Winter Circuit in Tucson, Arizona; HITS Culpeper Show Series in Culpeper, Va., and HITS Saugerties Show Series in Saugerties, N.Y. Each Devoucoux Hunter Prix held through Sept.

In addition, HITS will host one Wild Card class at HITS-on-the-Hudson VIII, Sept. 7-11, from which the winner, if not already qualified, will earn a spot in the Final. In order to become eligible for the $500,000 HITS 3’3” Hunter Prix Final, a rider on any horse/horses will need to compete in five or more Devoucoux Hunter Prix at any combination of HITS Shows during the qualifying period. Once a rider has competed in five Devoucoux Prix, they will become eligible and their points on their leading horse will place them in HITS Hunter Prix Final Rider Rankings. The Devoucoux Hunter Prix qualifiers will be open to all riders, with fences not to exceed 3’3”, and will not limit the number of horses an exhibitor may ride. Scores for each qualifying Devoucoux Hunter Prix will be calculated from placebased points, as well as from points for the number of competitors in the first round of the class (entry-based points).

AAEP FOUNDATION DISTRIBUTES $262,000 TO INDUSTRY GROUPS IMPROVING THE LIVES OF HORSES

The American Association of Equine Practitioners Foundation has awarded $262,000 in grants to 15 non-profit organizations and universities working for the health and welfare of horses. These 2010 grant recipients share the Foundation’s mission to support equine research, benevolence, education and the equine community. From funding laminitis research to sponsoring an “equitarian” mission in Mexico, the Foundation is supporting a wide range of initiatives in 2010 and 2011 that are improving equine welfare. The Foundation has teamed with the Unwanted Horse Coalition to launch Operation Gelding, a program that assists clinics in providing free castration services for stallions. Meeting the research priorities of equine veterinarians, the Foundation has committed funding for the 10th Annual International Colic Symposium, a veterinary meeting focused on colic research scheduled for July 2011. In addition, the Foundation is supporting an equitarian workshop, designed for practitioners interested in volunteering veterinary services in struggling communities with working equids, being held near Vera Cruz, Mexico. Investing in future industry technologies, the Foundation is assisting Colorado State University and Equine Guelph with the development of International Equine Biosecurity Risk Calculator, an interactive online assessment tool designed with the goal of providing equine operation owners or managers with a way to objectively evaluate their biosecurity programs. Groups including the American Quarter Horse Foundation, Morris Animal Foundation, American Youth Horse Council, World Equine Veterinary Association, National FFA, The Race For Education and the Grayson-Jockey Club Research Foundation are among others that are receiving funding from the Foundation. In a continued effort to promote the veterinary profession, the Foundation is allocating funding for a number of student programs, including dentistry and farriery short courses, scholarships, and activities stipends for AAEP student chapters.

IHSA Executive Director Bob Cacchione has been named USEF/EQUUS Foundation Humanitarian of the Year; unanimous decision recognizes 40 years of dedication to college riders. He held these truths to be self-evident: that any college student should be able to participate in horse shows regardless of his or her financial status or riding level. So in 1967, Fairleigh Dickinson University (NJ) sophomore Robert E. “Bob” Cacchione selflessly proposed the idea of making the sport he loved available to his peers, launching the creation of the Intercollegiate Horse ShowAssociation (IHSA). In 2011, by unanimous decision, the lasting impact of Cacchione’s vision has been recognized through the USEF/EQUUS Foundation Humanitarian Award. The award, a celebration of the humani-

Improving Pest Management on Farms Take the brief online survey to help researchers better understand pest challenges facing Florida horse farms. A University of Florida graduate student is currently working on entomology research that could help Florida farms and training centers utilize improved pest management programs. Erika Machtinger, a master’s student with UF’s Integrated Pest Management-Florida, is working with Dr. Norman Leppla from Integrated Pest Management/Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences and Drs. Chris Geden and Jerry Hogsette of the United States Department of Agriculture Center for Medical and Agricultural Veterinary Entomology. Her thesis project is “Improving Integrated Pest Management for House and Stable Flies on Equestrian Facilities in North and Central Florida.” An equestrian for more than 20 years, Machtinger runs her own small equine business and feels that little attention has been given to study insect problems in the horse industry. “I have dedicated a portion of my thesis to finding out the perceptions of insect pest problems among equestrians in north and central Florida,” Machtinger said. “These data will be used in statewide publications and will give support to future grant applications as well and helping your UF/IFAS Livestock Extension Agents provide the most sought-after information to their clientele.” To help with Machtinger’s research and potentially improve pest-management procedures on equestrian facilities in North and Central Florida in the future,visit www.surveymonkey.com/s/SXXZDR9 The survey takes less than 10 minutes to complete and will be online through March. Current counties being surveyed are: Alachua, Baker, Bradford, Brevard, Citrus, Clay, Columbia, Dixie, Duval, Flagler, Gilchrist, Hamilton, Hernando, Hillsborough, LaFayette, Lake, Levy, Madison, Marion, Nassau, Osceola, Orange, Pasco, Pinellas, Polk, Putnam, Seminole, St. Johns, Sumter, Suwanee, Taylor, Union, and Volusia.

The humanitarian honor, first presented in 2009 to Nancy Koch, executive director of CANTER (the Communication Alliance to Network Thoroughbred Ex-Racehorses) celebrates the selfless dedication of an individual or group to the health and welfare of the horse by encouraging public appreciation and respect for the diverse roles of horses. The recipient of this award must be someone who has devoted considerable personal time to making paramount the lives — and quality of life — of the industry’s equine partners. “I am totally overwhelmed with this honor, especially being recognized by my peers,” said Cacchione. “To be acknowledged for what I have tried to do for the youth of the equestrian world with the creation and development of the IHSA is just incredibly meaningful.” At the core of Cacchione’s passion for riding, and appreciation for the opportunities made available to him as a young horseman, has been his understanding of the horse’s role as a great equalizer. With the concept of a level playing field as his cornerstone, he rallied the support of like-minded individuals from educational institutions, first in his region, and ultimately, from throughout North America. Those efforts led to the formation of IHSA. Since launching a democratic concept of collegiate team and individual competition, that frees students from the economic responsibilities of horse ownership while providing a foundation of good riding through expert training and coaching, the IHSA has graduated an estimated tens of thousands of equestrians. From five colleges and a handful of riders, to more than 370 participating colleges and universities and 8,700-plus riders today, Cacchione would be first to praise his network of collegiate volunteers. However, thanks to his selfless dedication, it is greatly due to him that IHSA has established a network of encouragement, talent, knowledge and support that continues to impact today’s horse industry. The IHSA National Championships for hunter seat, western horsemanship, and reining teams and individual riders will celebrate its 37th anniversary May 5-8, 2011, at the Kentucky Horse Park in Lexington.

ATalk with The Florida Horse You produce HITS circuits all over the country, but you chose Florida for the very first location in 1982. This year’s HITS Ocala Winter Circuit marks its 30th season of Florida shows. What’s been your game plan to maintain this longevity and growth? Struzzieri: Winter showing in the northeast was never going to grow because it’s just too cold! There was already a concentration of horses in Florida and throughout the southeast, and horsemen from up north were already traveling to warmer climates for the winter, either to Florida or to the old Arizona Circuit, so I knew the customers were going to be there. I felt there was an opportunity to offer a different product in Florida that might appeal to a broader group of exhibitors. Fortunately, I was right, and the circuit has grown continuously for three decades. The HITS blueprint is “There’s Something for Everyone.”You’ll see this at all of our shows. From short stirrup to grand prix, a trainer can bring every customer in their barn and find something for them to show in. What’s better than a kid showing in the beginner equitation at their very first horse show, and in the ring next them, you have top grand prix riders who have shown all over the world. That’s really such a wonderful part of our sport. The Florida Horse HITS seems to strive to be a family-friendly environment, for competitors and for spectators. How is your own family involved in the show? Struzzieri: All of my kids ride a bit, as does my wife. They don’t compete, but they know how to ride and they enjoy it. My family travels with me to Ocala for the winter and my kids attend the Education Station, the on-

You see so many families in the horse business, and I am so glad that I’m able to have my family around me and that they all enjoy being involved at the show in one way or another. The Florida Horse The economy. How has the circuit evolved to accommodate your clients, and what do you see looking forward? Struzzieri: We tried to be ahead of the curve when the economy started to decline. The customer was becoming a savvier consumer - if they were going to show less often, they were going to be more selective about where they showed. We knew the most important thing was to keep them coming to show with us. So, we froze prices and offered discounts at every one of our circuits. We focused our attention to our customer service capabilities and tried to be sure we were understanding and working with our customers. We tried to sway with the wind, so to speak, and I think it has paid off. The Florida Horse How do you think our industry should encourage new people to get involved in the sport of hunters and jumpers? Struzzieri: Grassroots, grassroots, grassroots. That’s where it all comes from. We need to keep reaching into that group of upand-coming riders and encourage them to spread their wings. It was my vision with the Marshall and Sterling League when I started it more than 20 years ago; it was focused on the child and adult riders who were just getting a taste of top-ranked A-rated showing. I am proud to say that many of the youngsters who participated in the league back then are some of the top hunter and jumper riders and trainers in our industry today.

Discover is defined as,

“to make known or visible; expose.”

t’s a popular word by nature – it has broad and profound potential. Hopes and dreams ride on the shoulders of discovery. When something is discovered, it is magical for the one discovering. For the one who holds the secrets and helps the one discovering, it is an experience that will last a lifetime. As members of the equine industry, we offer much to be discovered to people who are not a part of our world. That is the message behind our new specialty license plate, aptly titled, “Discover Florida’s Horses.” Our license plate is the first of its kind for the Florida horse industry. It is a simple gesture towards the public, inviting them to be a part of the equestrian world by supporting the Florida Horse Park. The Florida Horse Park stands to be a gateway for the discovery of horses and the agricultural world as a whole. One of our primary initiatives is education. Education and discovery come hand in hand. Through education and discovery, people often find lifelong interests. In this case, we want that interest to be horses. It’d doesn’t have to be a grand experience for someone to realize a new direction for their life – watching a new foal scamper around the field, brushing the shoulder of a well muscled athlete, smelling the sweet earthy scent of a horse in the sun. Simple things. The license plate, “Discover Florida’s Horses,” is a small item with

a big idea and far-reaching results. The funds generated from the sale of this plate for your personal vehicles, trucks and trailers goes to support a community project that serves horse people like you and me. It also serves horse people who haven’t yet discovered that facet of their life. The Florida Horse Park is, by design, a haven for all sorts of people – not just the equestrian set. Conversely, it is also a means

for our local and state equine industry to bring more people in and allow them to discover the wonder of horses. Do your part. Buy the plate. Support the Florida Horse Park.

Happy Trails,

By SARAH CAREY, University of Florida Veterinary Hospitals hen an American Quarter Horse colt born with a severely deformed right hind limb arrived at the University of Florida’s Large Animal Hospital last May, equine veterinarians recognized that traditional methods used for straightening abnormal legs in foals would not work. But today — six months, three surgeries and one small animal surgeon later — the foal is living the good life at home in Palmetto, Fla., running and training on four good legs. “Traditionally, when you perform an acute correction, you break the leg and then plate it, all at once,” said Ali Morton, D.V.M., an assistant professor of large animal surgery at UF. “In this case, the amount of correction needed would have probably compromised the blood supply and the lower part of the limb likely would have died. There also is a significant risk of infection, which is why these types of procedures often fail in horses, even in the best circumstances.” Morton then consulted one of her colleagues who treats small animals at the UF Veterinary Hospitals — Dan Lewis, D.V.M., a professor of small animal orthopedic surgery and an internationally respected expert on the correction of limb deformities. For more than a decade, Lewis has used a technique in which the deformed bone is cut surgically, and a device called a circular external skeletal fixator secures and gradually straightens the bone — a process called distraction osteogenesis. The gap that forms between the bone segments fills in quickly with new bone. “Dr. Lewis has contributed significantly to the literature on distraction osteogenesis, so we called him, and he looked at the foal’s leg,” Morton said. “Our biggest concern was its size, since at 5 weeks old, this foal weighed 220 pounds and was much bigger than your average dog.” Traditionally in horses, the fixator is

pinned to the bone segments. But it quickly became evident that pins were not the answer. “Within 24 hours, the foal bent some of the pins,” Morton said. “Within 48 hours, he broke one pin. By then, we were at the point of either trying something different, or euthanasia.” ANOTHER ANGLE

UF’s veterinary team was literally down to the wire – an “olive” wire. As a last resort, Lewis contacted John Madden from Smith and Nephew, a company that manufactures circular fixators for human patients. The foal’s fixator was made from components used in dogs and cats. Madden provided olive wires, which contain a bead, or “olive,” secured along the wire’s length. These wires, when applied under tension, provided the stability to resist the incredible forces imposed by the 220-pound foal. Lewis was familiar with the product because he had used this human system to successfully stabilize a fracture in a tiger. SUPPORTIVE OWNERS

“We didn’t know what would happen, but we were willing to try,” Morton said. She spoke to Anne Prince, owner of the foal, and explained the options. The Princes own a

Quarter Horse farm in Palmetto and are longtime clients of the UF Veterinary Hospitals. Five weeks later, additional surgery was performed, during which additional wires were placed for reinforcement. Serial radiographs and measurements confirmed that the deformity had been corrected and the fracture gap just needed to fill in with new bone. In time the leg had healed to the point that veterinarians began to stage removals of rings and wires. A CT scan was performed on the foal’s leg, and he remained at the UF Large Animal Hospital until his discharge. “To my knowledge, this is the first time sequential correction, which employs a circulator fixator and distraction osteogenesis, has been used to correct a limb deformity in a horse,” Lewis said. Morton credited Lewis and the foal’s owners, along with the foal himself for the case’s successful outcome. “The only reason this worked was first, Dr. Lewis, but also the Princes, who treat all of their animals very well and allowed us to do everything we did,” Morton said. “The foal was also an excellent patient the entire time. He put up with all the bandage changes and antibiotics, took care of himself and never got mad at us for poking and prodding.” Morton added that although complications had been faced from the beginning, the UF veterinary team and the foal’s owners took “one day at a time” and things slowly improved. “We’d hoped it would, but in the world of horses, this kind of success doesn’t happen very often,” Morton said. ■

Identifying “weak points” can help reduce the risk of fire. FARM MANAGEMENT

Farm Management & Fire Prevention By JAMIE COHEN AND LUDIE BOND s we start into 2011, I’m sure everyone is aware of the lack of rainfall we have had in our state throughout the past year. In Marion County alone, our quarterly rainfall for 2010 was measured to be at just above 4 inches, well below our 2009 average of more than 10 inches. Because of this fact, fire is something that needs to be on every farm owner and manager’s mind. Farms having trees and forests on the property need to also take special care to prevent any wildfires and forest fires. Horse farms are typically located in rural areas. Some of these areas may actually be considered Wildland Urban Interface or Intermix communities where structures are either bordering or intermixed with forested areas. Not only do residents in these communities usually conduct outdoor burning such as yard debris pile burning, nearby lands could also be managed with prescribed burning. These large acre tracts of woods are also susceptible to lightning strike wildfires and woods arson. And as we well know, most equine communities are sensitive to smoky conditions. While horse farm owners and managers can work towards building relationships with neighboring properties, like other rural property owners, they should look for the ‘weak points’ on their property and at their structures where wildfire could strike. These ‘weak points’ can be defined as vegetation that could feed the spread of wildfire as well as where embers may land and ignite more wildfire. Take a look at the vegetation on your property and determine whether or not it’s considered to be highly flammable. Then look at the placement of this

vegetation and ask yourself if it would provide a continuous path for wildfire to creep up to your home, barn, stable, or shed? The idea here is to create a mosaic of fuels and fire breaks such as walkways, driveways, roads or paths, for example. Also take a look at the structures on site. Do areas exist where embers could land under a structure or raised patio or deck? Are there similar openings under the eaves? Do roofs and gutters have large accumulations of dry vegetation such as pine straw and leaves? Do the barns and stables have areas of accumulated bedding, shavings, or hay? Some of these weak points should be cleared or covered with nonflammable skirting. Still other areas might require wetting down. And one last thing: would your wooden fences provide a direct path for wildfire to travel to barns and other structures? Please keep these things in mind so that we can all avoid terrifying and dreaded barn fires. There is nothing more tragic than a barn full of horses becoming engulfed in flames, especially if it could have been prevented.

Dialogue Begets Involvement

by Paul Moran

Sometimes, throwing open the door gives entre to what develops into a very good party.

he racing seasons of 2010 and ’11 were extended well beyond the Breeders’ Cup by heated Horse of the Year debates, both involving threetime champion Zenyatta, who was 19-1 in real life and 1-for-2 in the sport’s ultimate poll. This was a new phenomenon. Until the Internet became something close to a public utility and social networking forever changed communication, interaction and dialogue on this scale were impossible and the digital sparring – much of it passionate and some downright hostile – was voluminous and continued 24/7 well beyond the photo finish that decided the Breeders’ Cup Classic and the announcement in Miami Beach that Zenyatta had carried the vote over Blame, the only horse to defeat the gallant mare. Many of Zenyatta’s fans were passionate, zealous and dismissive, sometimes cruelly, of those whose opinions differed. The heated debates that have followed the two most recent Breeders’ Cups will not likely be repeated soon. Horses capable of Zenyatta’s achievement are rare and her public popularity was a product not only of 19 consecutive victories but of the longevity necessary to build such a record, also rare among top-class horses nowadays. In Kentucky, she now awaits a mating with Bernardini as her unparalleled career begins to melt into memory and history. Those debates, however, have given new life to an old issue – fan participation on the Eclipse Award ballot. Support for such change has never gained purchase with those with the power to change the process. The opposition of those eligible to vote – members of the National Turf Writers Association (now the National Turf Writers and Broadcasters Association), the staff of the Daily Racing Form and racing secretaries at the National Thoroughbred Racing Association member racetracks, a rapidly shrinking band, has held the line. Other sports have opened similar processes to fans. Such voting has for years determined baseball’s All-Star Game lineups. But opening the Eclipse ballot to the public presents a slippery slope. Since a vote of such scope could only be conducted via the Internet, the door is ajar to fraud – a Chicago-style poll — with multiple votes cast by individuals, perhaps from several different

74 THE FLORIDA HORSE • FEBRUARY 2011

email addresses; individuals recruiting otherwise uninterested friends, associates or family members to cast its votes in favor of a single horse. Even the suggestion of such manipulation would taint the process. Major League Baseball encourages its fans to vote often for their choices but an All-Star game vote does not determine championships. The financial stakes for the connections of horses in contention for an Eclipse Award are usually of great importance. The historical magnitude can be priceless. Still, with the need to involve more people in racing never more evident, public involvement in a participatory endeavor that would bring some attention to vox populi is not an idea without merit. Zenyatta has made evident the potential passion that is an undercurrent in the audience and although it is unlikely that we will see her like any time soon, each year brings new if less enduring figures to center stage. New debate refreshes the dialogue even if it may lack the zeal of recent debates. Dialogue begets involvement. Perhaps the entertainment industry provides an alternative to the bad idea of including the public in the annual Eclipse poll. None of the myriad of entertainment awards provides for public opinion except the Peoples’ Choice Awards, which carry a certain weight of prestige. Why not a racing equivalent distinctly separate from the Eclipse Awards but nevertheless prestigious on its own merit? Those without title or press credentials should have a forum to express themselves. A wider, more diverse, less restricted, conflicted or effete majority may well mirror the results reached by the Eclipse electorate. Some results may differ and should that be the case, the discussion would populate web sites, blogs and message boards with more debate, involving, perhaps, those whose moderate interest needs only to be massaged into full-blown involvement. In an age in which horseplaying fathers and uncles no longer introduce young people to the racetrack in large numbers, a new portal is sorely lacking – an innovative vehicle that fosters new public interest and has the potential to, like the Peoples’ Choice Awards, mature into an annual event of importance. Sometimes, throwing open the door gives entre to what develops into a very good party. ■
