Louies Flower Blooms an Upset in Remington
Florida-bred Louies Flower
Florida-bred Louies Flower held off a charging Noble Cornerstone and Kent Desormeaux to spring an upset in the $250,000 Remington Springboard Mile on Dec. 15. The mile-long dirt race for 2-year-olds at Remington Park had a field of twelve. Owned by Wesley Melcher of Plano, Tx., Louies Flower just missed breaking his
maiden in his debut when he came in second by a neck in a five-and-a-half furlong, $20,000 maiden special weight contest at Lone Star Park on June 28. Jumping up in class for his next start, Louies Flower was fourth in a five-and-a-half furlong, $28,000 maiden special weight at Remington Park on Aug. 17. After a month-and-a-half freshen-
ing, Cliff Berry guided the chestnut colt to the winner’s circle for the first time in a five-anda-half furlong, $28,000 maiden special weight race at Remington Park on Oct. 2, where he defeated From Day One by a length-a-half. Trained by Bret Calhoun, Louies Flower made it two-in-a-row when he ran away with a mile-long, high-level allowance/optional claiming race at Remington Park by five-anda-quarter lengths on Oct. 30. Despite his record, the son of Flower Alley out of Tembisa, by Johannesburg, was 12-1 on the morning line and was sent to the gate at odds of 23-1. Bred by Shadybrook Farm of Morriston, Fla., and Castletop Stable of Delray Beach, Fla., Louies Flower and rider Luis S. Quinonez were out to prove the doubters wrong when they loaded into post six for the Remington Springboard Mile. Louies Flower broke best of all at the beginning of the race and briefly held the lead; however, he went wide around the clubhouse
Stevens Guides Enterprising to Eddie Logan Win What is it about Gary Stevens and Florida-breds? The Hall of Fame jockey took Floridabred Mucho Macho Man to the winner’s circle in the $5-million Breeders’ Cup Classic (Grade 1) at Santa Anita at the beginning of November. He then started the Santa Anita meet with a bang on Dec. 26 when he upset the Grade 1 La Brea Stakes aboard Floridabred Heir Kitty. The winning combination of Stevens and a Florida-bred found their way back to the winner’s circle Dec. 28 when he guided Enterprising to victory in the $75,000 Eddie Logan Stakes, a mile-long contest for 2-year-olds over the Santa Anita turf course. A homebred owned by Glen Hill Farm of Ocala, Enterprising was sent to post as the 95 second choice behind Craftsman (IRE), 8 THE FLORIDA HORSE • FEBRUARY 2014
winner of the seven-furlong, Group 3 JRA Killavullan Stakes at Leopardstown in Ireland on Oct. 26. The son of Elusive Quality out of Indy Blaze, by A.P. Indy, came into the Eddie Logan Stakes off a length-and-three-quarter win in a mile-long, $46,000 maiden special weight contest over the turf at Betfair Hollywood Park on Nov. 16. Trained by Thomas Proctor, Enterprising was ready for battle when the bay colt was loaded into post two with Gary Stevens in the irons. Enterprising got a good jump when the gates sprung open and was tucked in along the rail in third behind longshots Lucky Views and Flagman. Stevens let the two longshots duke it out upfront as they went around the clubhouse turn and down the backstretch in :23.47 and :48.05. As Enterprising held the rail, Royal
Banker (GB) and rider Corey Nakatani were ranging on the outside of the Florida-bred, just a half-length behind in fourth. As the pack went into the far turn, Flagman and Pat Valenzuela were briefly able to wrest the lead away from Lucky Views as he reached the quarter pole in 1:12.22; however, Royal Banker (GB) was moving up on the outside and Enterprising was just starting to hit his stride. With Lucky Views and Flagman battling along the rail, Royal Banker (GB) started to make up ground on the tiring leaders. Meanwhile, Stevens angled his mount to the outside when he exited the far turn and was gearing up for his run down the center of the lane. Lucky Views was barely clinging to the lead when he reached the eighth-pole in 1:23.72.

Alpha and Omega set a solid pace for the opening two furlongs when he reached the first quarter in :23.58. Dunkin Bend was two lengths behind the leader in second, while Louies Flower was another two lengths back in third. Alpha and Omega set cruising fractions of :47.18 and 1:12.19 for the race as they went down the back stretch and came around the turn. A speedball that went off at 59-1 odds, Alpha and Omega began to give way as Louies Flower and Dunkin Bend started to roll. Louies Flower had the best turn-of-foot and had grabbed the lead at the top of the stretch, where he went to the rail and started to draw away from the pack. Louies Flower was ahead of Boji Moon by a length when he reached the eighth-pole in 1:25.32; however, it was Noble Cornerstone who was coming on with a rush with the Florida-bred dead in his sights.

Full-out and driving, Stevens and Enterprising were commanding in their late run, passing the competition in the final furlong to stop the clock in 1:35.25, threequarters of a length ahead of Royal Banker (GB), who was ahead of Lucky Views by a neck. Enterprising paid $5.60 to win, $3.20 to place, and $2.60 to show. Royal Banker (GB) returned $3.60 and $2.80, while Lucky Views paid $4.80 to show. Completing the order of finish were Flagman, Craftsman (IRE), Morally Bankrupt (GB), and Noble Metal (GB). My Se-
Quinonez kept Louies Flower to the task while Desormeaux and Noble Cornerstone were gaining ground with every stride. Noble Cornerstone was good, but not good enough. Louies Flower stopped the clock in 1:38.83 for the mile, a neck in front of Noble Cornerstone. Smack Smack was five-and-a-half lengths behind the pair in third. Completing the order of finish in the Remington Springboard Mile were Walt, Boji Moon, Divine View, Dunkin Bend, Pachanga Party, Big Sugar High, Denali Rahy Ruler, Guns Loaded, and early pacesetter Alpha and Omega. Louies Flower paid a generous $48.00 to win, $21.60 to place, and $11.60 to show. Noble Cornerstone paid $6.80 and $5.40, while Smack Smack paid $3.20 to show. With the $150,000 check from the Remington Springboard Mile, Louies Flower now has $190,083 of earnings from his five lifetime starts. He was sold for $25,000 at the Ocala Breeders’ Sales Company in August 2012.

Florida-bred Gabbywitha G became a graded stakes winner for the first time when she took the Grade 2 Clasico Prensa Hipica at Camerero Racetrack located in Puerto Rico on Dec. 1. Trained by Arderson Santiago for owner Carlos Oyola Stable, Gabbywitha G broke alertly from post two in the mile-and-threesixteenth Clasico, leading the field of five fillies and mares into the first turn on a sloppy track on Dec. 1. Jockey Juan Diaz allowed Gabbywitha G to relax, however, as 7-5 favorite Dawn’s Song took over and led the field through an opening quarter mile in :25.04 and the first half-mile in :49.82 as Gabbywitha G laying a few lengths off of the leader in second with By My Side another four lengths back in third. Going into the far turn, Dawn’s Song continued to show the way but Gabbywitha G moved up along the rail while By My Side challenged while racing three-wide. Midway around the far turn Gabbywitha G hit her best stride while finding room on the rail and by the time they headed for home she had daylight on the field with no others mustering a challenge. A daughter of Trippi and Beafleet, by Afleet hit the wire five lengths ahead of longshot Balmaran in second with Tizzy Beter Run another three-and-three-quarters lengths back in third. The final time for the Clasico Prensa Hipica was 2:02.67. Gabbywitha G was bred in Florida by Peter Gonzalez and Jorge Herrera of Miami. She returned $6.20 to win and $4.20 to place. Balmaran returned $5.80 to place. There was no show wagering. The win boosted her career earnings to $84,645 from 31 career starts and 14 victories.

The son of Three Wonders out of Laylin (VEN), by Sijjaal, was second choice on the tote board behind Raiseanothergator, who had topped The Best Glacier by a head in their last meeting.

Whether it was in front-running fashion or with a closing kick, Florida-breds dominated the featured stakes races at Delta Downs over the weekend on Dec. 27-28. The front-running Florida-bred Heavens Hall carried the banner to victory for the Sunshine State in the mile-long, $65,000 Eldorado Stakes on Dec. 27. The Eldorado Stakes was for fillies and mares which have started for a claiming price at Delta Downs or Evangeline Downs in 2012-2013. Trained by Henry B. Johnson, Jr., for Amy Connell and Henry B. Johnson, Heavens Hall has been battling allowance and optional claiming competition for the last two years with mixed results. Bred in Florida by Brenda Jones, the 5-year-old dark-bay or brown mare had three wins from her 23 previous starts. The daughter of Winding Oaks Farm’s Graeme Hall out of Heavens Yes, by Septieme Ciel, was 8-1 on the morning line but went to the gate as the second-longest shot on the board with odds of over 47-1. Breaking from post four, Heavens Hall was third best at the start and quickly fell-in behind 51-1 longshot Open Request. Open Request led the field through opening fractions of :24.38 and :49.51, but Heavens Hall was never more than a length behind in second. Drinking Fund was third, a length behind Heavens Hall. Going around the far turn, Heavens Hall made her move and passed leader Open Request. She was in the lead by a head when she reached the quarter pole in 1:14.17, with Open Request and Drinking Fund in the hunt as the pack entered the stretch. Heavens Hall kept to the task and had a half-length lead over Drinking Fund when she reached the eighth-pole, and she maintained the distance when she crossed the wire in 1:40.50.

July, and just missed winning the mile-long, $74,000 Lindsay Frolic Stakes at Calder in August by a nose. Returning to stakes company in her first start of 2014, Light Bringer and rider Jonathan Gonzales were sent to post eight with 7-2 odds. Standing in the way of Light Bringer’s first stakes win was the post time favorite, Flutterby. Stretching out for the first time in her career for trainer Jerry Bozzo, Florida-bred Flutterby finished her juvenile campaign with a victory in the five-and-a-half furlong, $50,000 Cut The Charm Stakes at Calder on Nov. 16. The chestnut daughter of Congrats out of Zoobie, by
First and Only, had the bettors’ confidence when she was loaded into post one with her regular rider, Luca Panici, in the irons. At the sound of the bell, Panici sent his mount forward along the rail and grabbed the early lead, while Gonzales hustled Light Bringer forward from the far-outside to clear the pack. As they went around the clubhouse turn, Flutterby was the uncontested leader as she cleared the first quarter-mile in a relaxed :25.37. Light Bringer was a length-and-a-half off the lead in second, while Luna Santa and Diego Gomez were a head back in third. Flutterby continued her leisurely pace as

they travelled down the backstretch, reaching the half-mile in :51.29. While Flutterby cruised along the rail, Light Bringer and Gonzales stalked the leader off the flank. Light Bringer moved up within a half-length of the lead while Gonzales was preparing his mount for her late effort. Spangled Banner, ridden by Jeffrey Sanchez, briefly moved up into third, just ahead of Luna Santa. Sitting chilly in second, Gonzales felt good about his chances as Flutterby went around the far turn and reached the quarter pole in 1:15.80. “I knew that [Flutterby] comes from five furlongs, six furlongs—she never runs long distance,” Gonzales said. “I knew she wanted to go get the lead so I followed her, I followed her. [Spangled Banner] came outside, so I moved with her.” While Flutterby barely clung to the lead going around the quarter pole, Light Bringer made her move at the top of the stretch and began a duel down to the wire. “When I pushed my filly, I had horse, so I pushed and pushed,” Gonzales said.
Light Bringer and Flutterby pushed each other the whole way, going first head-to-head then neck-and-neck, before the distance finally began to catch up to the early pace setter. By the time they reached the eighth-pole, Light Bringer had gained the lead by a head over Flutterby, while Luna Santa was a distant third by six lengths. Light Bringer began to draw away from Flutterby in the final sixteenth and crossed the wire in 1:41.09, a full length ahead of Flutterby. Despite stretching out for the first time, Flutterby was game enough to finish seven-and-a-quarter lengths ahead of Luna Santa in third. Completing the order of finish were Spangled Banner, Shy’s Aly, Tacones, Raising Passion, and Bagira. Light Bringer paid $9.60 to win, $4.60 to place, and $3.20 to show. Flutterby returned $4.40 and $3.60, while Luna Santa paid $4.40 to show. Light Bringer earned $38,440 from her win in the Chispiski Stakes, bringing her career earnings to $90,260 from her six lifetime starts.

Florida-bred Nesso Tops Gasparilla Stakes
Florida-bred Nesso
For the second time in-a-row, Todd Pletcher’s filly Enquete was sent to the gate as the favorite, but could only watch as another Florida-bred got her picture taken in the winner’s circle. Florida-bred Nesso defeated the Kentucky-bred daughter of Indian Charlie when she won the seven furlong, $51,500 Gasparilla Stakes Jan. 4 at Tampa Bay Downs. The Gasparilla Stakes was for 3-yearold fillies and had a field of nine. Bred by Donald R. Dizney of Ocala, Nesso was making her first start for new trainer Herman Wilensky in the Gasparilla Stakes. The chestnut daughter of Roman Ruler out of Devotedness, by Anet, had been winless since she broke her maiden in a fourand-a-half furlong, $25,000 maiden claiming race at Calder Casino and Race Course in June. Owned by Amaty Racing Stables, Nesso was getting the benefit of an equipment change when Wilensky sent her to the gate wearing blinkers. Going up against 2-1 favorite Enquete and the Sandpiper Stakes winner My Sweet Dove, Nesso and her rider Abdiel Jaen were the 4-1 third choice on the board when she was loaded into the gate. At the sound of the bell, Nesso, Ice for the Lady, and My Sweet Dove all got good jumps out of the gate, but it was 59-1 Floridabred longshot House Money who grabbed 14 THE FLORIDA HORSE • FEBRUARY 2014
the pace early. Battling along the rail, Nesso was in an early speed duel with House Money over the first quarter, which Nesso reached in :22.48. House Money was just behind in second by a head, while Ice for the Lady was a half-length back in third. House Money soon regained the lead as the pair went down the backstretch and started to draw away from the pack as she reached the half-mile in :45.28. Nesso was a length back in second, two lengths ahead of Sandpiper Stakes winner My Sweet Dove in third. Favorite Enquete would struggle in the middle of the pack
throughout the race and would never be a factor. Nesso’s spot along the rail would help her as they went around the far turn. While House Money drifted out, Nesso had a good turn of foot and was able to finally gain the lead from the longshot. As they came down the stretch, Nesso was three lengths ahead of House Money when she reached the eighth-pole in 1:11.10. A late charge came from the back of the pack when Maria Maria, Runway Giant, and Ice for the Lady made a run at the Florida-bred, but she kept to the task and crossed the wire in 1:24.93, a length ahead of Ice for the Lady, who finished two lengths ahead of third place finisher Runway Giant. Completing the order of finish were Maria Maria, My Sweet Dove, Princess Dinah, House Money, Enquete, and Fast Betty Blue. Henny Jenney was scratched. For her efforts, Nesso paid $10.00 to win, $6.60 to place, and $5.20 to show. Ice for the Lady paid $9.80 and $6.40, while Runway Giant paid $7.40 to show. “She deserves all the credit,” said Nesso’s owner, Dennis Amaty of Wellington, Fla. “She is a little horse with a big heart and will fight to the end.” Nesso earned $30,000 for her performance, bringing her lifetime earnings to $85,800 from six career starts.

foal to Distorted Humor, was consigned by Blake-Albina Thoroughbred Services LLC, agent. Eaton Sales’ Reiley McDonald signed the ticket on behalf of Brushwood’s Betty Moran. “The mare gets great foals,” McDonald said. “She’s the dam of a Breeders’ Cup winner and there are not many like her in the sale. We stretched a little to get her but who knows what the foal’s worth. We loved

Breeders’ Cup Classic (Grade 1) winner Mucho Macho Man, was presented with the Secretariat Vox Populi “Voice of the People” Award at Santa Anita on Jan. 11. Accepting the award were owners Dean and Patti Reeves of Atlanta, Ga., and jockey Gary Stevens. Stevens, who had been inactive for seven years, culminated an unprecedented comeback at age 50 with a pulsating nose victory aboard Mucho Macho Man in the Classic Nov. 2, has also won three Kentucky Derbies and a total of 10 Breeders’ Cup races. Mr. and Mrs. Reeves flew in from their Florida base to participate in the ceremonies surrounding the presentation of the award created by Penny Chenery, owner of 1973 Triple Crown Champion Secretariat. “I think we all identified with Mucho Macho Man’s story of overcoming adversity,” Chenery said. “It is a classic theme that transcends sports and life and generations. And because he is poised to return in 2014, racing fans will have much to anticipate in this champion thoroughbred.”
the Tapit coming in right in front of her. “The price was about what we thought we’d have to spend. We stretched a little bit, but we’ve got five good reproductive years left in her and she gets great foals. Could be some fun for Mrs. Moran.” Royal Oak Farm, on behalf of Phyllis Wyeth’s Chadds Ford Stable, paid $750,000 for Sweeter Still (IRE), a graded stakes-winning daughter of Rock of Gibraltar (IRE) in foal to leading sire Galileo (IRE). Sweeter Still was consigned by Eaton Sales, agent.
The Reeves and their racing manager, Finn Green, have announced the 2014 Breeders’ Cup Classic, to be run at Santa Anita Nov. 1, as this year’s long-range objective for their 6-year-old son of Macho Uno. The Vox Populi trophy was presented to the Reeves’ and Stevens in the Winner’s Circle following the fourth race on Jan. 11, and trainer Kathy Ritvo was recognized during a simultaneous presentation at Gulfstream Park. Both celebrations were broadcast live on HRTV. Previous winners of the Vox Populi trophy are Zenyatta (2010), Rapid Redux (2011), and Paynter (2012).

Florida-bred Breeders’ Cup Classic Champion Mucho Macho Man
Florida-bred Flash Song, a 3-year-old filly trained by Giuseppe Iadisernia, broke her maiden against $12,500 maiden claimers at Gulfstream Park on Jan. 5, becoming the first winner for Flashstorm, who stands at Northwest Stud in Ocala. Out of the Saint Ballado mare Peace Song, Flash Song won at first asking against the field of eight. After breaking mid-pack from post five under jockey Carlos Lugo, Flash Song went right to the front in the seven furlong main track event, getting the first quarter-mile in :22.47, leading 8-5 post time favorite Why Buy Silver by a half-length while racing down the backstretch. Why Buy Silver could not keep up around the far turn as 32-1 longshot Jill’s Refection made a run at Flash Song but could not get past as they made the half-mile in a more reasonable :46.17. Flash Song found more entering the stretch and began to draw clear as they turned for home, at one point leading by nearly three lengths. Benne First Baby made a late run nearing the wire but could get no closer than a length as Flash Song stopped the clock in 1:27.40 over the fast track. Benne First Baby was three-and-onehalf lengths ahead of Jill’s Reflection in third. Bred in Florida by The Big Stable of Ocala, Flash Song was let go at 16-1 and returned a nice $35.20 to win, $13.60 to place and $8.20 to show. Benne First Baby paid $6.80 and $5 while Jill’s Reflection supporters received $11.80 for their show tickets.

Jeranimo Rockets to Third Win in G2 San Gabriel
16 THE FLORIDA HORSE • FEBRUARY 2014
1:34.34; however, Bejarano had pushed the button on Jeranimo and the Florida-bred was rocketing past the field. He passed Huntsville, Te Rapa, Artic North, and was in fourth place at the eighth-pole, but it was clear that there was going to be no holding Jeranimo back in the final panel. Full out and driving, Jeranimo ran down Fire With Fire, Utopian, and Slim Shadey and crossed the wire in 1:46.00, a length-and-aquarter ahead of the British pacesetter. Sitting patiently atop the big Florida-bred, Bejarano took dead-aim on his rivals throughout the race. “The horse loves to sit back and relax,” Bejarano said. “He doesn’t like to be too close to the lead because he gets excited. He was flying at the end and showed me a big kick. Nakatani was only four or five lengths in front of me, so I knew I just had to wait and I would catch him. I knew I had a lot of horse and just waited for the stretch.”

Florida-bred Jeranimo started 2014 in scintillating fashion as he blazed past the field in the Grade 2, $200,500 San Gabriel Stakes to win by a length-and-a-quarter. The mile-andan-eighth turf race at Santa Anita Park on Jan. 4 was for older horses and had a field of seven. Owned by Robert V. LaPenta and B.J. Wright, the 8-year-old bay horse had won the 2013 and 2010 editions of the San Gabriel Stakes. Although he won the mile-and-aneighth, Grade 1 Eddie Read Stakes over the Del Mar turf in July, Jeranimo had missed the board in his last three starts of 2013, including the six-and-a-half furlong Breeders’ Cup Turf Sprint (G1) in November. The change in the calendar must have brought a change in luck for the son of Congaree out of Jera, by Jeblar. Trained by Michael Pender and bred by Joe and Phyllis Bryant’s Brylynn Farm in Reddick, Fla., Jeranimo shook off the years as he was taken to the starting gate by rider Rafael Bejarano. A natural-born closer, Jeranimo was taken to the back of the pack when the gates opened in the San Gabriel Stakes. Jumping out to the early lead were the British invader, Slim Shadey, and his rider Corey Nakatani. Slim Shadey set respectable fractions of :23.23, :47.30, and 1:11.20 as he cruised along the rail, keeping Martin Garcia and Fire With Fire close behind on the outside. Fire With Fire and Te Rapa, ridden by Kayla Stra, started to make a run at Slim Shadey as the pack went around the far turn, while Bejarano and Jeranimo sat chilly for just a little bit longer before waiting for their moment to strike. As they came around the quarter pole, Slim Shadey was still a length in front of Fire With Fire, who was holding off Te Rapa by a head. Going around the far turn, Bejarano angled his mount to the outside and came into the top of the stretch in the middle of the track. Nakatani and Slim Shadey were still in control of the race by two lengths over Fire With Fire when he reached the eighth-pole in
Florida-bred Jeranimo
Jeranimo paid $4.60 to win, $2.80 to place, and $2.60 to show. Slim Shadey returned $3.80 and $3.20, while Artic North paid $3.80 to show. Completing the order of finish were Utopian, Fire With Fire, Huntsville, and Te Rapa. Dubai You X Y Z, Empty Headed, Black Spirit, and Willyconker (IRE) were scratched. With the $120,000 share of the purse he won, Jeranimo has now earned over $1.5 million for his career. He has 11 wins from 39 starts. Jeranimo’s next move will depend on how well he comes out of the San Gabriel, according to his trainer, Michael Pender. “We are going on a race-to-race basis with this horse,” Pender said. “If he starts feeling good, we’ll run him. As you can see last year we ran him with more time in-between races than the year before. This race will probably take a little bit out of him so we’ll re-group and see what the future holds.”

Heir Kitty pounces on Grade 1 La Brea
18 THE FLORIDA HORSE • FEBRUARY 2014
BENOIT & ASSOCIATES PHOTO
hose wagering on the Grade 1 La Brea Stakes on the opening day card at Santa Anita Dec. 26 did not give Florida-bred Heir Kitty much of a chance as they let her get out of the starting gate at 131, the second longest price in the field of six 3-year-old fillies. But trainer Peter Miller, jockey Gary Stevens and Heir Kitty herself had it differently. “Don’t forget,” Miller said, “she beat the boys in a two-other-than allowance—older boys—so I felt real confident after she did that, that she could handle the best 3-year-old fillies, and she proved us right today.” Miller was speaking of Heir Kitty’s last race on Nov. 29 when she defeated older horses in a $62,000 optional claiming race at six furlongs at Betfair Hollywood Park. Stevens was not quite as specific, but put his confidence out through social media on Twitter. “I mentioned on Twitter the other day that (my) year isn’t over yet,” Stevens said. Heir Kitty spoke with her performance. Breaking from post two, Heir Kitty started well before Stevens pulled her back behind odds-on favorite Sweet Lulu, 25-1 shot Journey On and third choice My Happy Face who were leading in that order through a first quarter-mile in :22.67. The field stayed that way as they raced down the backstretch and around the far turn, going the half-mile in :45.45. That’s when Stevens asked Heir Kitty to make a run at the leaders while racing three-wide into the stretch. She soon passed Journey On and My Happy Face and engaged Sweet Lulu who maintained the lead on the rail. Those two hit the sixteenth-pole together as the Bob Bafferttrained Executiveprivilege came with a late run as well. But by then, Heir Kitty had hit her best stride and began
to draw clear, hitting the wire in 1:21.47 for the seven furlongs on a main track rated fast. She was a length and one-quarter in front of Sweet Lulu in second and Executiveprivilege was another two and one-half lengths back in third. My Happy Face was fourth and Journey On fifth with second-choice Madame Cactus following them all. “I rode this race a bit like a turf race,” Stevens said afterwards. “I was able to sit back in the pocket; this dirt is in unbelievable condition. We aren’t getting near the kick-back we were getting during the Breeders’ Cup and the Fall Meet. I was able to tuck in there and I have very little dirt on me now even. [Heir Kitty] was content and stayed comfortable. It’s easy to
ride those turf races that way and very rarely do you get that opportunity on the dirt.” Although Miller was confident, he did admit to making a few changes for this race. “We put her back around one turn and put the blinkers back on her,” Miller said. “She’s very straight forward; she tries real hard. She’s not a big filly. I’m very happy for the owners. The Grade 1 is big.” Miller trains Heir Kitty for David Bernsen of San Diego and Paul Makin of Australia. She was bred in Florida by Pedro Gonzalez and Jorge Herrera of Miami. Heir Kitty is by Journeyman Stud stallion Wildcat Heir and out of the Silver Buck mare Be Silver. She returned $28.20 to win, $7.60 to place and $4 to
show while Sweet Lulu returned $2.80 and $2.40. Executiveprivilege posted a $3.40 show price. It was the first stakes win for Heir Kitty, who was also picking up her fourth career win from 14 starts. A graduate of the Ocala Breeders’ Sales Company April Sale in 2012 where she brought $32,000 while selling from the consignment of Southern Cypress Stable LLC, Heir Kitty now has career earnings of $370,272. Asked what race may be next for Heir Kitty, Miller said he is inclined to keep her sprinting but may consider the Grade 2 La Canada Stakes at Santa Anita on Jan. 19. “We’ll just kind of enjoy this for now and look at the other race in a week or two,” he said. ■

FTBOAMEMBERSHIP UPDATES FLORIDA SIRE STAKES UPDATE
MEMBERSHIP RENEWAL TIME
The first payment deadline for the $2.5 million Florida Sire Stakes program under the new administration of the Florida Thoroughbred Breeders’ and Owners’ Association closed on Jan. 15 and the early numbers are positive. For the 2014 program so far, 432 horses have made eligibility payments. This is up 18% from 2013 FSS numbers. The number is expected to rise even more, because applications submitted by the January 15 postmark deadline were still being processed as of press time. On Jan. 16, the FTBOA reported 33% of the eligible foals have been fully or partially paid. For the FSS, 326 horses were paid in full which is 25% of total eligible for the program. Partial payment means the horse has a $300 payment still due on May 17. This totals 106 horses. There are 887 horses who are both FTBOA Florida-breds and are by an FTBOA registered sire of 2011 that still have an opportunity to run in the 2014 FSS series and the supplemental races for their 2-year-old season and onward if they submit a payment of $1,000 by May 17, 2014 (postmark deadline). Of the 1,319 possible eligible horses, those horses going through upcoming sales that are FTBOA registered Florida-breds and by an FTBOA registered stallion will be designated as FSS eligible. Buyers should keep in mind, just like when the program was administered by Calder, the FSS designation simply means the horse has not missed a payment, thus is still eligible. Some horses may still have a payment or partial payment due by May 17 to maintain that eligibility. The list of eligible horses will be available at the FTBOA booth at each OBS sale and a searchable list is available online on the FTBOA website at ftboa.com in the FSS information section.

Dance With Fate punched his dance card in several major juvenile graded stakes, proving to be among the best on the season. Bred by Thomas and Lori Fackler’s Best A Luck Farm, Dance With Fate was twice Grade 1 stakes-placed to earn yearend Florida-bred championship honors. In his second career start, Dance With Fate broke his maiden on Aug. 11 at Del Mar. He posted the win by a length-and-a-half over Southern Freedom with Bond Holder third. Winning time for the six-and-a-half furlongs was 1:16.73. Owned by the trio of Sharon Alesia, Bran Jam Stable and Ciaglia Racing LLC, Dance With Fate went straight to a Grade 1 event in his next start. On Sept. 9, he was second to Tamarando in the Del Mar Futurity (G1) with Can the Man third. The Peter Eurton trainee was quickly back in the starting gates in the Frontrunner Stakes (G1) on Sept. 28 at Santa Anita. Dance With Fate was second again, this time to Bond Holder with Tamarando third. A bay colt by Two Step Salsa
out of the Saint Ballado mare Flirting With Fate, Dance With Fate banked $155,250 on the season. Flirting With Fate, the dam of Dance With Fate, was purchased by Best A Luck Farm for $28,000 at the 2007 Keeneland November mixed sale. The winning Saint Ballado mare was in foal to Eurosilver at the time. Dance With Fate, her 2011 colt by Two Step Salsa, was sold by Best A Luck Farm for $120,000 at the 2013 Ocala Breeders’ Sales Company’s April juvenile sale. Joseph Ciaglia, Jr., signed the sales ticket. Flirting With Fate had a 2012 In Summation filly and was bred to Eurosilver for 2014. Two Step Salsa, the sire of Dance With Fate, stands at Ocala-based Get Away Farm.
SCANDALOUS ACT FLORIDA-BRED CHAMPION 2-YEAR-OLD FILLY There was nothing scandalous about Scandalous Act’s outstanding juvenile season. The Gilbert Campbell homebred became only the fourth filly to sweep that division of the Florida Stallion Stakes. She joined Nancy’s Glitter (1997), Aclassysassylassy (2004) and Awesome Feather (2010) as fillies to accomplish that impressive feat. And Scandalous Act did it in record-setting fashion, capturing the FSS sweep

by a combined winning margin total of 22 lengths. This bested Awesome Feather’s previous record FSS combined winning margin total of 17 lengths. Scandalous Act got her record-setting show going in the $75,000 Desert Vixen division on July 20 at Calder. The Kathleen O’Connell trainee won by an eyebrow-raising seven-and-a-half lengths over Holiday Magic with Quinnkat third. Winning time for the six furlongs was 1:11.87. Next up in the FSS series was the $125,000 Susan’s Girl division on Aug. 24 and the result was much the same. This time, Scandalous Act was even more dominant as she won by eightand-three-quarter lengths in 1:25.06 for the seven furlongs. Second was Quinnkat with Holiday Magic third. After a six-week break, the FSS wrapped up with the $300,000 My Dear Girl division on Oct. 12. And once again, Scandalous Act left little doubt that she was the best Florida-bred juvenile filly. She was victorious by five-and-three-quarter lengths, posting a winning time of 1:48.23 for the eight-and-half furlongs. Quinnkat took second and Holiday Magic was third. It was the first FSS sweep for owner/breeder Campbell, who with his wife Marilyn, established Williston, Florida-based Stonehedge Farm South in 1988. In addition, O’Connell became the first woman trainer to tally a FSS sweep. Scandalous Act, a bay filly by Act of Duty out of the Langfuhr mare Seductive Lady, banked $328,040 on four wins in six starts for the season. Campbell bought Seductive Lady, the dam of Scandalous Act, for $33,000 at the 2002 OBS August yearling sale. A winning earner of $36,260, Seductive Lady is also the dam of Florida-bred stakes winner Two T’s At Two B, a 2010 colt by deceased Stonehedge Farm South stallion Untuttable. Seductive Lady had a 2012 West Acre colt, a 2013 Factum filly, and was in foal for 2014 to Big Bad Barnie.
DEN’S LEGACY FLORIDA-BRED CHAMPION 3-YEAR-OLD COLT/GELDING Den’s Legacy definitely earned an A-plus for effort on the 2013 season. While the winner’s circle proved to be elusive, the Gaye Swartz-bred bay colt posted six graded stakes placings. A Grade 2 stakes winner in 2012, Den’s Legacy
banked $211,220 for the year on his way to claiming a 2013 Florida-bred championship title. Raced by Scott and Joe Ford’s Westrock Stables, Den’s Legacy opened the season with a pair of runner-up finishes at Santa Anita Park. First he was second to Goldencents in the Sham Stakes (G3) on Jan. 6 and then second to Flashback in the Robert B. Lewis Stakes (G2) on Feb. 2. The Bob Baffert trainee then shipped to Oaklawn Park, where he posted a third to Will Take Charge in the Rebel Stakes (G2) on March 16. Back in Southern California, Den’s Legacy notched a second to Tiz a Minister in the Affirmed Handicap (G3) on June 2 at Hollywood Park.

26 THE FLORIDA HORSE • FEBRUARY 2014
Den’s Legacy moved on to Del Mar, where he once again gave a good accounting of himself in graded-stakes company. He was second to Dice Flavor in the La Jolla Handicap (G2) and third to Ethnic Dance in the Del Mar Derby (G2). By Medaglia d’Oro, Den’s Legacy is out of the unraced War Chant mare Sunshine Song, who is a half-sister to Grade 1 stakes winner C.S. Silk, Grade 3 stakes winner Remember Sheikh and stakes winner Memory Tap. Sunshine Song had a 2013 High Cotton colt and was bred to Bernardini for 2014. Den’s Legacy was bought as a weanling for $150,000 by John McKay at the 2010 Keeneland November mixed sale from Indian Creek, agent. Den’s Legacy has made all his career starts for the Fords’ Westrock Stable. Residents of Little Rock, Arkansas, Scott and Joe Ford were both formerly the chief executive officer of the communications company Alltel. To date, Den’s Legacy has career earnings of $472,570 for Westrock Stable.
WILDCAT LILY FLORIDA-BRED CHAMPION 3-YEAR-OLD FILLY FEMALE SPRINTER Wildcat Lily definitely found her winning wild side in 2013, scoring the initial stakes and graded stakes wins of her young career. In addition, she was Grade 1 stakes-placed twice on her way to a Florida-bred championship season. Bred by Tara and Paul Helman, Wildcat Lily earned blacktype in her very first stakes start as a sophomore runner. The Rontos Racing Stable colorbearer romped to a four-length win in the Leave Me Alone Stakes on June 8 at Calder. Finishing second was Dreaming of Sophia with Street Girl taking third. Winning time for the six furlongs was a speedy 1:10.98. Moved up to graded stakes company in her next start, Wildcat Lily did not disappoint. The Manuel Azpurua trainee scored a determined neck victory over Dreaming of Susie in the Azalea Stakes (G3) on July 6 at Calder. Coming in third was Speedinthruthecity. This time around, Wildcat
Lily sped through six furlongs in 1:10.76. Shipped to Saratoga, Wildcat Lily proved she belonged with the best sophomore fillies in the country. In the Prioress Stakes (G1) on July 27, she was second by a half-a-length to Lighthouse Bay while besting Irish Lute. Next up was the Test Stakes (G1) on Aug. 24, where Wildcat Lily was second again by a mere head to Sweet Lulu while beating My Happy Face. By D’wildcat out of the French Deputy mare French Jubilee, Wildcat Lily posted four wins and four seconds in 14 outings to bank $367,285 on the season. The Helmans purchased French Jubilee, the dam of Wildcat Lily, for $15,000 from consignor Summerfield, agent, at the 2005 OBS October mixed sale. French Jubilee is the dam of five winners, including stakes winner Wildcat Lily. The latter is French Jubilee’s last reported foal. Wildcat Lily first sold for $10,000 as a weanling at the 2010 OBS October mixed sale. Consigned by Mecco Sales, agent, she was purchased by Isidro Centeno. At the 2011 OBS August yearling sale, Wildcat Lily was consigned by Blue River Bloodstock and purchased by current owner Rontos Racing Stable for $20,000.
Stakes at Belmont Park and Whitney Invitational Handicap (G1) at Saratoga, Mucho Macho Man scored his initial career Grade 1 victory. On Sept. 28 in the Awesome Again Stakes (G1) at Santa Anita, Mucho Macho Man won by four and a quarter lengths over Paynter. His winning time for the nine furlongs was 1:48.30. Ritvo trained her 17-hand charge up to the Breeders’ Cup Classic on Nov. 2 at Santa Anita. It wasn’t going to be the duo’s first attempt at winning the BC Classic. In 2012, Mucho Macho Man had finished second by a half-length to Fort Larned in the BC Classic at Santa Anita. But 2013 yielded a much better result. With Gary Stevens aboard, Mucho Macho Man stalked early pacesetters Moreno, Fort Larned and Game On Dude. Making a big move after six furlongs, Stevens had Mucho Macho Man in the lead at the top of the stretch. Will Take Charge and Declaration of War made a furious tandem rally in deep stretch, closing quickly on Mucho Macho Man in a photo-finish thriller. And it was Mucho Macho Man who prevailed by a nose over Will Take Charge to capture the BC Classic, becoming only the third Florida-bred to win the Grade 1 event. Mucho Macho Man

FLORIDA-BRED CHAMPION OLDER MALE Mucho Macho Man lived up to his name with a mucho macho victory in the 2013 Breeders’ Cup Classic (G1) that earned him his first Florida-bred championship title. In winning the prestigious BC Classic, Mucho Macho Man also garnered attention for all his connections. It was the first Breeders’ Cup victory for breeders John and Carole Rio, owner Reeves Thoroughbred Racing and trainer Kathy Ritvo. In the case of Ritvo, she became the first woman trainer to saddle a BC Classic winner and only the fourth female to train a BC champion. And with the winner’s $2.7 million share of the $5 million BC Classic purse, Mucho Macho Man padded his career earnings to $5,340,410. That total vaulted him to third all-time leading Florida-bred earner behind only Sunshine State greats Skip Away ($9,616,360) and Silver Charm ($6,994,369). Mucho Macho Man’s outstanding season earned him the 2013 Secretariat Vox Populi Award, which recognizes the horse whose popularity and racing excellence best resounded with the American public.

SAHARA SKY FLORIDA-BRED CHAMPION SPRINTER The sky was the limit for Sahara Sky in 2013. The 5-year-old Pleasant Tap horse sped onto the scene, capturing three graded stakes as he notched a Florida-bred champion title. It was a four-month coast-to-coast journey that wrapped up with a thrilling win in the prestigious Metropolitan Handicap (G1). Following a seven-month layoff, Sahara Sky began his 2013 campaign in graded stakes company at Santa Anita Park. In the Palos Verdes Stakes (G2) on Jan. 19, the nearly-black Sahara Sky scored a length tally over Private Zone with Justin Phillip third. In winning the initial stakes of his career, Sahara Sky posted a sizzling 1:07.73 for the six furlongs. A month later, the Jerry Hollendorfer trainee was in the Santa Anita winner’s circle again. This time around Sahara Sky notched a three-quarters length victory over Capital Account in the San Carlos Stakes (G2). Finishing third was fellow Florida-bred Comma to the Top. Winning time for the seven furlongs was a speedy 1:21.28. Raced by Hollendorfer and Kim Lloyd’s Sweetwater Stable, Sahara Sky shipped to the East Coast to compete in a pair of Grade 1 events. In the Carter Handicap (G1) on April 6 at Aqueduct, he was second to Swagger Jack while defeating Discreet Dancer. Next stop was the Metropolitan Handicap (G1) on May 27 at Belmont Park. In a thriller, Sahara Sky prevailed by a nose over Cross Traffic with fellow Florida-bred Flat Out third. Winning time was 1:34.17 for the mile. In but four seasonal starts, Sahara Sky posted three graded stakes wins and a graded-stakes runner-up finish to earn $740,000. He made and won

By DAVE ALLEN n December, the Florida Thoroughbred Breeders’ and Owners’ Association made a trade mission to Japan to extol the virtues of the Florida breeding industry. On Dec. 14, Asia Express proved it. Asia Express, a 2-year-old Florida-bred son of Henny Hughes out of Running Bobcats, by Running Stag, prevailed in the 65th running of the Group 1, $1.6 million Asahi Hai Futurity Stakes at Nakayama Racecourse in Japan. Bred by J. Michael O’Farrell, Jr.’s Ocala Stud, the lone American-bred in the mile-long race defeated a field of 16 colts and fillies over the turf. Owned by Yukio Baba and trained by Takahisa Tezuka, Asia Express made his first start over the turf and running clockwise. The Florida-bred colt was sent to the gate in the Asahi Hai Futurity Stakes, which is considered the championship race for 2-year-olds in Japan, as the fourth-favorite at 8.7-1 odds. When the gates opened in the Asahi Hai Futurity Stakes, Bel Canto (JPN), a 2-year-old filly, broke best of all from post one and set the pace. Close behind her were El Camino Real (JPN), Pray and Real (JPN), and Win Full Bloom (JPN). Asia Express, ridden by British jockey Ryan Moore, was content to hang along the rail at the back of the pack in 11th place. Bel Canto covered the opening quarter in a respectable :23.7. Cruising along the rail in ninth place, Moore allowed Asia Express to move up to a position right behind the lead pack at the half-mile. Coming out of the turn, the sixteen colts and fillies were getting ready for the charge to the wire. Bel Canto (JPN) was hoping to hold on long enough to run away with a wire-to-wire victory. After hugging the rail the entire race, Moore angled Asia Express out of the

pack and into the center of the lane for his run to the finish. The extra running room was just what the Florida-bred needed. When Moore asked him, Asia Express dug down late and began to pass the tiring leaders on his way to a length-and-a-quarter win. The Florida-bred impressed his rider, who remarked that Asia Express’s best may still lie ahead of him.

“He surprised me, he quickened up so well,” said Moore. “When I rode him before, he looked like he was a horse with lots of gears. He’s a special horse, because not many do both dirt and grass. With his three wins in three career starts, Asia Express has earned ¥88,131,000 (approximately $853,049) lifetime. Asia Express was sold for $230,000 at the Ocala Breeders’ Sales Company in March 2013. ■

FTBOA makes game-changing agreement with
Game Changer T
By BROCK SHERIDAN he Genting Group, operators of Resorts World Casino New York City at Aqueduct Race Track, Resorts World Singapore and Resorts World Manila, has entered into an arrangement with the Florida Thoroughbred Breeders’ and Owners’ Association, Gulfstream Park and the Florida Horsemens’ Benevolent and Protective Association in an effort to build a waterfront “slots only” thoroughbred inspired resort to be located in the downtown Miami, Fla., area with an emphasis on economically growing the Florida thoroughbred breeding and racing industry. Plans call for the Genting Group to build high rise condominiums and a resort hotel with some 2,000 slot machines on bayfront property formerly occupied by the Miami Herald but purchased by Genting in 2011 for $236 million dollars. The casino would house some 2,000 slots, a modern state-ofthe-art race simulcast lounge and theatre, and is a scaledback version of a full size resort casino that Genting had hoped to build on the property in previous years. However, they could not get permission from the Florida legislature to move forward with the project. This project is tied to a non-profit horse racing license held by the Stronach Group, operators of Gulfstream Park, under their Gulfstream Park Thoroughbred After Racing Program (GPTARP). The groups behind the project (including the FTBOA) believe it would be a boon to thoroughbred racing and breeding in Florida. According to agreements between the parties involved, GPTARP would generate funds for Florida thoroughbred retirement and aftercare programs, disabled jockeys, workers’ compensation funds to help protect owners, long term capital improvement funds at Gulfstream Park to be used exclusively for racing-related projects at the track, and a long term marketing program designed to create more thoroughbred racing fans. At the track, GPTARP funds will also be used to significantly enhance purses, greatly expand stakes and prize money for Florida-bred stakes races and stakes winners and provide a boost to Florida-bred awards and incentives. “What makes this partnership arrangement even more unique and worth supporting is the fact that it is a non-profit,” FTBOA CEO and one of the principle negotiators and signors of the deal Lonny Powell said. “Accordingly it is designed from the thoroughbred racing end to invest back into our industry and its people and horses versus rewarding shareholders or just being focused 36 THE FLORIDA HORSE • FEBRUARY 2014
on corporate bottom-lines. Based on the investment, facilities and expertise provided to the group by our partners and managers, Genting and Gulfstream, we will not only see our prize money grow in the form of purses, incentives and awards for our horsepeople, breeders, owners, trainers and jockeys—we as GPTARP will be able to reach out and support benevolent, charitable and marketing and promotional programs that only a special and unique permit like this can do at material levels including the all important retired thoroughbred after-care. I also cannot emphasize enough the ground breaking importance of the innovative and forward-looking plans of ear-marked facility capital improvements for race patrons and horses as well as a racing fan development marketing and promotional fund.” Brian Ballard, a Genting lobbyist, said in a recent article that this project is not as prolific as their original plans to build a $3.1 billion resort on their Miami property, but was very excited that Genting would be working with the thoroughbred racing and breeding industry in Florida. “Genting, over the last couple of years, has decided to look at this with a fresh set of eyes,” Ballard told The Miami Herald. In order to clear the project, GPTARP will have to either get clearance from the Florida legislature, or pursue administrative approval, or possibly other options. “The FTBOA is pleased to partner with Genting, Gulfstream Park Race Course & Casino and the horsemen of South Florida (FHBPA) on this economic development business arrangement which we look forward to discussing with our elected and government officials in Tallahassee,” Powell said. “We share with our partners in their enthusiasm for the timely positive economic impact and jobs contribution this initiative potentially represents for our entire state as well as industry. Our proposal, while embracing the more industry and community-friendly racino business model, creates a huge foot print of economic development that reaches all the way up from the greater Miami community north to the picturesque horse farms and cherished open green space of Marion County. If approved, it will make breeding, owning, selling, and racing of the already nationally regarded Florida thoroughbred as well as the owning of a coveted Florida horse farm even more attractive to local and global investment.” Tim Ritvo, the general manager at Gulfstream Park said the positive impact of this agreement should not be underestimated and emphasized how pleased his organization is to be working with each of the parties involved.
Gulfstream Park, Genting and FHBPA “We believe this is the single most important thing that has happened to Florida thoroughbred racing and breeding in a long time,” Ritvo said. “The Stronach Group and its chairman, Mr. Frank Stronach, believe strongly in the future of thoroughbred racing and giving back to the thoroughbred community. Our partnership with the Genting Group, the Florida Thoroughbred Breeders’ and Owners’ Association, and Florida Horsemen’s Benevolent and Protective Association will allow us to continue to build and support the thoroughbred racing community. “It’s also important to note how much of a positive impact this will have on purses for horsemen,” Ritvo continued. “We know the positive effect Genting has had on purses and the thoroughbred industry in New York as NYRA’s racino operator. The infusion of money from the non-profit permit will increase purses and enhance the quality of racing and the quality of horses in Florida. This will extend on the track as well as off the track in terms of breeding and buying horses. “We believe this is a fantastic opportunity for Florida racing and the thoroughbred industry.” Phil Combest, a thoroughbred trainer and owner in South Florida as well as the current president of the FHBPA, acknowledges that the new agreement benefits all parties involved. “The Florida horsemen see the Genting deal as a giant win on many levels for our billion dollar racing industry…for purses, for horse retirement, the Disabled Jockeys’ Fund, worker’s [compensation] insurance, capital improvements on the front side, the backside and more,” Combest said. “Add all that to the fact that the horsemen, the breeders and Gulfstream came together and formed a coalition to help facilitate the deal predicts a brighter future, in general, for Florida racing. In fact, for all the groups involved, it’s a win, win, win, win!” The four-way partnership envisions Genting as the ownerlandlord and manager of the slots-equipped resort and related gaming operations, while racino and mall owner Gulfstream Park would be the landlord and manage the racetrack and pari-mutuel wagering. The non-profit GPTARP would lease and run a schedule of live dates at the Gulfstream facility with Gulfstream continuing to also run its Meet of Champions. Portions of Gulfstream Park reside in both Broward and Dade counties, which many believe would allow the GPTARP permit to open their racino expansion near Miami in Dade County. Representing the FTBOA membership on the GPTARP board are Fred Brei, Brent Fernung, Phil Matthews, and Michael O’Farrell, all of Marion County. ■

Care and Protection of Land
H
ello to all! This past Boxing Day (the day following Christmas), I had the great fortune of being asked to go foxhunting, or at least drag hunting, and I was left thinking how wonderful it was to be able to have such a fantastic opportunity to enjoy the great weather and outdoors, which is something that all horsemen love and cherish in the state and throughout the country. Open land is critical for preservation of all aspects of equine sport, as well as needed to allow the benefits to come for all wildlife, water and mankind. We count on ecosystems to act as natural controls for managing waste and pollution, for absorption of water and carbon and to preserve wildlife habitat. Regardless of your particular passion involving the horse, open space is also essential for water purification and wildlife support. There are several non-profit organizations with the specific mission of land preservation to preserve open spaces, farming and the equine industry strong. In past articles, information concerning tax benefits for preservation and protection of land has been discussed for the state of Florida. Tax laws are changing, but there are sev, please take just a eral groups and community minute to remind yourself why organizations existing to asyou’re involved with horses, sist landowners with open appreciating that open spaces space preservation.

This organization works to preserve natural areas and wildlife corridors that help to protect family farms for future generations. Tools used, such as conservation easements, purchase or donation of land, carbon credits and assistance with landowner succession and estate planning, can each potentially benefit landowner’s financially and also preserve the land. For those in south Florida, The Village of Wellington (in Palm Beach County) is home to a world-class equestrian community, including at least 580 farms, polo fields, show grounds, bridle trails and equine-related businesses. The Village of Wellington has a sincere interest in preservation of the area, for

protecting the equestrian way of life and to preserve its rural nature. Certainly, the local government supports the community’s internationally renowned equine industry, so it has established a one-of-a-kind land designation in Florida, called the Equestrian Preserve Area. wellingtonalliance.org/the-wellington-equestrian-preserve/faq The Purpose of the Equestrian Preserve, which was established in 2000 as part of Wellington’s Comprehensive Plan, is to, “preserve the rural character of Wellington’s equestrian community, which is comprised of 9,000 acres of land where equestrian show grounds, polo fields and horseback-riding parks are located.” The benefit is for all in the community, as horse owners are afforded land to continue their passions and the Village benefits from the plethora of equine-focused businesses, ranches, stables and residences. Founded in 1996, the Equine Land Conservation Resource, ELCR, elcr.org , is a national organization having as its mission to build awareness about land loss which deprives horse-related activities and enables the protection and preservation of lands. The United States Department of Agriculture reports that 6,000 acres of open land are lost every day. These tracts are critical for providing the space needed to support wildlife and equestrian activities. Wisconsin, Vermont, California, Virginia and Maryland are just some of the states that have benefitted from ELCR. This non-profit group hopes to sustain America’s equine heritage, preserving its emotional, physical and economic benefits. This year, please take just a minute to remind yourself why you’re involved with horses, appreciating that open spaces provide the backdrop for how we choose to live and for offering us opportunities to continue these wonderful lives. Please don’t ever hesitate to contact me if you need assistance connecting with any of these organizations. Also, to schedule a FREE, non-regulatory farm visit, please contact me or your county’s Extension agent. As always, keep up the good management practices! ■ Jamie A.

Florida-bred Dr. Fager bankrolled $1,002,646 on 18 wins in 22 starts.
r. Fager became the second Florida-bred to be honored as the North American Horse of the Year. Ocala Stud-bred Roman Brother had been the first in 1965. In addition to the ultimate title of being named the best racehorse overall in 1968, the Tartan Farms homebred proved it by sweeping three other divisional titles as well. As testament to his talent and versatility, Dr. Fager was named the champion sprinter, champion turf horse and champion handicap horse. It should be noted here that Dr. Fager was named the champion turf horse by the Daily Racing Form while Fort Marcy garnered the same honor by the Thoroughbred Racing Associations. In 1971, the Daily Racing Form and the National Turf Writers Association joined forces to create the modern-day Eclipse Awards. Dr. Fager’s 1968 season was an amazing tour de force by a racehorse. He made eight stake starts at five different tracks and won all but one. He averaged an impost of 134 pounds and a victory margin of five lengths. In the Washington Park Handicap, Dr. Fager set the then world-record mark for a mile in 1:321⁄5. And he accomplished that feat carrying 134 pounds and won by 10 lengths. Against a crosswind in the backstretch and carrying 139 pounds, he established a seven-furlong record of 1:201⁄5 and won the Vosburgh Handicap by six lengths.
40 THE FLORIDA HORSE • FEBRUARY 2014
In the Suburban Handicap under 132 pounds, he equaled the mile-and-a-quarter mark of 1:593⁄5 and won by two lengths. On the season, Dr. Fager earned $406,110 and became a millionaire. He retired with a lifetime bankroll of $1,002,642 on 18 wins in 22 starts. The colt by Rough’n Tumble out of Aspidistra, by Better Self, was syndicated for $3.2 million and retired to stand stud at Tartan Farms. As fate would have it, Rough’n Tumble was retired from the breeding shed the same year and died several months later. He was buried at Ocala Stud and the site would become the farm’s equine cemetery. As he had been for the past decade, Rough’n Tumble was again the year’s leading Florida sire and ranked ninth nationally in 1968. In addition to Dr. Fager, the Florida thoroughbred industry was also represented by Florida-bred Top Knight in year-end championship honors. Top Knight was named the North American champion 2-year-old colt that season. By Vertex out of Ran Tan, by Summer Tan, Top Knight was bred and owned by Steve Wilson. Top Knight won the Hopeful Stakes, Futurity Stakes and Champagne Stakes. He was also second in the Tremont Stakes and third in the Garden State Stakes. In but five seasonal starts, Top Knight posted three wins, one second, and one third to earn $325,954. The leading Florida-bred 2-year-old filly was Process Shot, a daughter of Restless Wind out of Processed, by Determine. Bred by Mrs. M. E. Tippett, she was raced by Elberon Farm after being purchased as a yearling for $11,500. Process Shot won the Polly Drummond Stakes, Colleen Stakes, Adirondack Stakes, Arlington-Washington Lassie Stakes, and Mermaid Stakes. She earned $172,653 on the season. Florida-bred In Reality continued to show his class in an injury-shortened season, winning the John B. Campbell Handicap, Carter Handicap, and Metropolitan Mile. In five starts, he posted those three wins and two thirds to earn $194,800. He retired to stud at Tartan Farms with career earnings of $795,825. Other outstanding Florida-bred stakes winners that season included More Scents, High Hat, Alley Fighter, Night Invader, Diplomat Way, Racing Room, Irish Rebellion and Treacherous. Charles F. Kieser, owner of Forty Oaks Ranch, died at 77. ■

An ongoing series where The Florida Horse editor Brock Sheridan poses 10 “away from ordinary” business
Unordinary “ ” 10 With Kent Stirling / Executive Director of the Florida Horsemen’s Benevolent and Protective Association
Name: Kent Stirling
Title: Executive Director
Organization: Florida Horsemen’s Benevolent and Protective Association
Education: Rollins College & University of Miami
Place of Birth: Western Pennsylvania
44 THE FLORIDA HORSE • FEBRUARY 2014
In a nutshell, describe your organization and your responsibilities. The FHBPA is basically a trade organization that represents the 6,000 owners and trainers that race in Southern Florida. We negotiate purse contracts for our members that are well above statutory requirements and we negotiated slots contracts which currently pay purses at one of the highest percentages in the U. S. The FHBPA represents our membership in the Florida legislature and as a liaison with track management. Our organization, through a subsidiary, The Florida Horsemen’s Bookkeeper Corporation (FHBC), is one of two horsemen’s groups in the country that operates the track’s horsemen’s bookkeeper. The FHBPA also has a charitable corporation, the Florida Horsemen’s Charitable Foundation, Inc. My job is to run the day-today operation of the FHBPA. Currently our President and Vice President/Treasurer invest a lot of their time in the day-to-day operation of our organization which frees me up to track wagering handle numbers and purses in search of trends or problems that may compromise a successful race meet. I also check the daily work of our horsemen’s bookkeepers at both tracks. If a horseman has an issue with track
management or a hearing before the stewards, I act as a liaison or representative for them. I spend a good deal of time in Tallahassee during the legislative session and at Division of Pari-Mutuel Wagering Workshops on rule making. I also spend a lot of time on equine medication problems that may confront our Florida owners and trainers. In addition, I represent the 32,000 owners and trainers of the National HBPA serving as a board member of the Racing Medication and Testing Consortium (RMTC). In 2012, I was asked to testify before the U.S. Senate Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation regarding equine medication. What specifically got you involved in the Florida thoroughbred industry? I spent my youth on two horse farms in Western Pennsylvania, and both my parents and my sister were very accomplished horse show riders. My father was the Master of the Hunt for both the Harts Run Hunt and Rolling Rock Hunt, and my mother was a Whip for both fox hunts. My father morphed from the show horse world to breaking and preparing thoroughbreds for careers in racing in his spare time, eventually selling his business and doing it full time. This eventually led to
him training horses full time. Meanwhile, I gave up riding in horse shows as the jumps got higher and playing baseball seemed safer. After graduating from college and doing four years sitting behind a desk in the Air Force, I entered the business world armed with a marketing degree and knowing the last thing I wanted to do at that time was sit behind a desk. I had grown up with horses and worked at old Randall Park in Ohio as a hot walker and groom (of the stable pony) before college. I had always loved horses and being around them so I returned to my roots and entered the thoroughbred industry as my life’s vocation. I left the cold weather of the mountains of Pennsylvania to go to college where it was warm and sunny. I did two years at Rollins College in Winter Park, Fla., and finished up graduating from the University of Miami. Since I wanted to train horses and live in Florida, by default, I became involved in the Florida thoroughbred industry. What are your favorite sports outside of horse racing? My favorite sports outside of horse racing are football, baseball, and hockey. I am a diehard fan of both the Pittsburgh Steelers and
questions to a variety of Florida thoroughbred industry leaders
Questions University of Miami Hurricanes. I still follow the Pittsburgh Pirates, who just completed a winning season after a world record 21 consecutive losing seasons, and the Pittsburgh Penguins who are lucky enough to have the best player in hockey in “Sid the Kid” Crosby.

What is one of your more fond memories to date in the Florida thoroughbred industry? I have two memories that occurred in Florida of which I am equally proud. The first was winning the Grade 1, Hialeah Turf Cup in consecutive years with Nijinsky’s Secret, who raced seven times in South Florida in the winters of 1983 and 1984 carrying high weight in all but one race and winning all seven. Unfortunately, he was a Kentuckybred (and not a Florida-bred) that had raced two years in France, before coming to the U. S. My other fond Florida memory involved being sent a little grey filly which had just broken her maiden at Ak-Sar-Ben. Her next start was the Florida Stallion Stakes where she closed well to run third. She also closed strongly to finish second, beaten a short nose in the seven furlong, second division of the Stallion Stakes. With the final race of the Filly Division carrying a $470,000 purse, I had a novice group of owners who assumed Doradoradora would win this race easily. I had never seen her go around two turns so two
weeks after her loss by a nose, I put her in a stake around two turns, and she won easily. Two weeks later, she easily won the My Dear Girl Division by fiveand-one-half lengths. While not one of my better training jobs, it is interesting how many times your horse can rescue you from yourself. While this would seem like a true Florida thoroughbred industry moment, I must confess that Dora was a Virginia-bred, by a Florida sire, Runaway Groom. What are your favorite songs or musical artists? As for music, I am still stuck in the 50’s, 60’s, and 70’s. My fa-
vorite song is Suspicious Minds by the King (Elvis), although while he had a great voice, I didn’t care for a lot of his songs. As for my favorite artists, I would list Roy Orbison, the Righteous Brothers, the Four Tops, the Supremes and Barry White. The best musical DVD I ever saw was Cher’s Farewell Tour filmed in Miami in 2002. No artist is going to top that one. What are your favorite movies or television programs? My favorite movie is “Dances With Wolves” and I try to watch it once a year. My favorite television shows are Per-
son of Interest, 60 Minutes, the Big Bang Theory, and NCIS. What are your favorite reads? My favorite author is Nelson DeMille who writes with just the right amount of humor. I am a fiction reader who likes the works of Michael Crichton, John Grisham, Greg Iles, James Patterson, David Baldacci, Dan Brown, and recently Steig Larsson. Occasionally I like to read about the Civil War and World War II, but only in a book written by Michael or Jeff Shaara. What are your favorite foods? I love Southern Fried Chicken, a filet or New York strip steak and, of course, stone crabs, and my enjoyment of these foods has caused me to gain a lot of weight since I stopped training. Why do you think people should breed, own and race Florida-breds? I think you get more value for your money by buying Floridabreds. They seem to outrun their pedigree more so than horses bred elsewhere. Also Florida offers excellent breeders’ awards programs through the FTBOA and at the track Florida Owners’ Awards are paid first place through third place on all races but stakes. Since I discovered Florida as a child many years ago and have lived here since, I think it only fair that horses have the same opportunity to be born in “God’s Country” as Florida-breds. ■ THE FLORIDA HORSE • FEBRUARY 2014 45
he Florida Thoroughbred Breeders’ and Owners’ Association supplements annually the stakes schedules at each of the Florida race tracks in an effort to further promote the Florida thoroughbred. The Florida Sire Stakes Program is part of this overall promotion. The Sire Stakes program is open to horses registered with the FTBOA and by Florida stallions registered with the FTBOA who have met all eligibility requirements and made all required payments. The program consists of more than $2.2 million in purse awards supplemented by FTBOA for two-year old and three-year old races and includes the lucrative Florida SIRE Stakes – a six race series for two-year olds. In 2013, the program represents $640,000 in purses at Gulfstream Park and $150,000 at Tampa Bay Downs. In 2012, it represented the $1 million Florida Stallion Stakes and $430,000 in purses at Calder Race Course. The $1 million Florida Sire Stakes consists of six 2-year-old races for Florida-bred colts and fillies. The races are: two 6 furlong races, two 7 furlong races, and two races at 1 1/16th.

32 YEARS OF THE FLORIDA STALLION STAKES
Jackson Bend
LISA PHOTO
In its 32 years, the Florida Stallion Stakes hosted 1,532 total individual runners in 220 races and awarded over $38.9 million. Florida-breds won 217 of the races. Just like other racing triples, the Florida Stallion Stakes three race sweep is a difficult feat. In its 32 year history, only 12 horses have won all three, while 37 horses won two of three.

FREER’S FORUM
by Jim Freer
Jim Freer covers Florida horse racing as a correspondent for The Blood-Horse and for the Miami Herald.
Best Maybe Yet To Come for Plesa F
One of their top horses was Best of the Rest, a winner of seven South Florida stakes races during 2002 and 2003. That name is appropriate because it is clear that some of the best years yet could lie ahead for Eddie Plesa Jr.
or Eddie Plesa Jr. and his wife Laurie it will be hard to match some big thrills of 2013. ■ Itsmyluckyday, trained by Eddie and co-owned by Trilogy Stable and Laurie, was a national 3-year-old star. At Gulfstream Park, his home track, Itsmyluckyday won the Gulfstream Park Derby and Holy Bull and finished second in the Florida Derby. He later finished second in the Preakness—the best showing ever for Eddie in a Triple Crown race. ■ On Dec. 22, they became grandparents for the first time. Granddaughter Haley Plesa was born to their daughter-in-law Andrea and son Luke. There will be another milestone in 2014 for the Plesas, who live in Plantation. Eddie will turn 65 on April 25. Fortunately for his owner clients, other colleagues in Florida’s racing industry and fans around the country, he has no plans to scale back his stable of about 50 horses. “This is a sport where they don’t force you to retire,” Plesa said on a Saturday afternoon at Gulfstream. That indicates that 2014 looms as the first of at least several more years when Plesa will add to his record as one of Florida’s all-time leading trainers. Fans are looking forward to the return of Itsmyluckyday, who has not raced since he suffered a pelvic fracture on June 16 during the Pegasus Stakes at Monmouth Park. Plesa expects that the son of Lawyer Ron will have his first race back at Gulfstream during this year’s first quarter. The list of stakes winners in Plesa’s barn also includes the Florida-breds Speak Logistics, Brave Dave and Puddifoot, as well as Yes I’m Lucky who, like Itsmyluckyday, is a Kentucky-bred. At the end of 2013, Plesa had won 2,148 races including 18 graded stakes and more than $49 million in purses. In some ways 2013 was Plesa’s best year in a career that began in 1980. His horses had $3,693,318 in earnings, his career best, and his 91 wins were second to his 102 in 2008.
82 THE FLORIDA HORSE • FEBRUARY 2014
Meanwhile, the success of Itsmyluckyday thrust Plesa into one of his periodic spots in the national limelight. Reporters and others who met him found that he is articulate and always gracious and that he shares a high degree of loyalty with owners and with his staff. His longtime owners include Trilogy and Live Oak Plantation. Trilogy’s partners are David and Olga Melin, who live in Sunny Isles Beach, and Marion Montanari of Ocala. Top assistant Frank Perez has worked for Plesa for more than 20 years. “Eddie has always done things the right way, and he knows how to spot his horses where they can win,“ said trainer Milt Wolfson, one of his friendly rival trainers in South Florida. “He also knows a lot of the best restaurants.“ Each summer and early fall, Plesa divides his stable between South Florida and Monmouth Park in Oceanport, N.J. Last summer, he moved his Florida base from Calder Casino & Race Course to Palm Meadows, the Boynton Beach training center that, like Gulfstream, is owned by The Stronach Group of Aurora, Ont. He is a firm supporter of Gulfstream in its dispute with Calder that has resulted in head-to-head weekend racing. “Frank Stronach and Gulfstream are listening to the horsemen,” Plesa said. “They are willing to spend money to help racing in Florida and they are promoting it with advertising and marketing.” Plesa grew up in Hollywood, Fla. His father Eddie Sr. was a jockey and later a trainer. Laurie grew up in Charles Town, W. Va. Her father, Joe Servis, was a jockey and her brothers, John and Jason, are trainers. Plesa has had some of his greatest success training horses owned by the late Bea and Bernie Oxenberg. One of their top horses was Best of the Rest, a winner of seven South Florida stakes races during 2002 and 2003. That name is appropriate because it is clear that some of the best years yet could lie ahead for Eddie Plesa Jr. ■
