COVER STORY Continued from pg. 1

of the Sunland Derby he has consistently sent horses to the race, even before it was a graded event. But until Daddy Nose Best crossed the finish line threequarters of a length in front of Isn’t He Clever, Asmussen had never won the Grade 3 $800,000 Sunland Derby. Storylines abound at the Kentucky Derby, and one that carries enticing possibilities poses the question: Could Asmussen’s first win in the Sunland Derby be the stepping stone to his first win in the Kentucky Derby? If so, it would also put an end to Bob and Cathy Zollars’ modest (0-for-2) losing streak at Churchill Downs on derby day. The owners of Daddy Nose Best had Fifty Stars in the 2001 derby and Private Emblem in the 2002 race. Fifty Stars finished ninth and Private Emblem a distant 13th after going into the race with four straight wins. The Zollars also owned Easyfromthegetgo, who finished fifth in the 2002 Preakness. Aware of how long the odds for victory are in the Kentucky Derby — which usually draws a field of 20 horses — Bob Zollars struck a conservative pose as he and his connections spoke of the journey Daddy Nose Best has traveled since his days as a green, inconsistent horse that had trouble keeping up with the competition. Zollars isn’t even sure if Daddy Nose Best may be as good as Fifty Stars, Private Emblem and Easyfromthegetgo were at a comparable point in their 3-year-old careers. “Those other three were very, very special,” said Zollars, who has been recovering

from surgery on his left foot and navigated his way to the Sunland winner’s circle in a wheelchair. “Private Emblem was 4-and-0 on his way to the derby and Easyfromthegetgo ran against the toughest competition in the country and ran nearly first or second in every race. This horse is going to have to run some to keep up with them.” What Daddy Nose Best is, is one of the better investments the Zollars have made since they got into horseracing 12 years ago. They paid $35,000 for the brown colt at the Kneeland yearling sale two years ago. In the Sunland Derby, Daddy Nose Best outran a pair of high-priced Bob Baffert-trained entries in Castaway and Stirred Up. Castaway, the favorite at post time who was coming off an impressive win in the Grade 3 Southwest Stakes, faded and finished seventh. He sold for $435,000, while third-place finisher Stirred Up went for $420,000 at Kneeland. “We’ve been so successful with horses that aren’t very expensive,” said Cathy Zollars. “That’s what makes it special, to know that it doesn’t matter how much you pay for a horse. It’s all about heart and how

they develop.” Daddy Nose Best earned $400,000 in graded money with his win at Sunland and ran his career total to more than $633,000. The win was his second straight in a Grade 3 race, following a nose victory in the El Camino Real at Golden Gate Fields in February. The $400,000 makes his entry into the Kentucky Derby a no-brainer since graded earnings are the first priority for getting into the race. The Asmussen family has an extensive history in New Mexico. Steven’s parents, Keith and Marilyn, both trainers, campaigned their horses in the state decades ago. Steven’s career highlights include 407 wins in 2002, when he led the nation for wins in Thoroughbred flat racing. Two years later, he set a new record for wins by a trainer with 555, surpassing the previous mark of 496 set by Jack Van Berg in 1976. But the Run For The Roses has eluded Asmussen. He finished third in 2007 with Curlin, then beat Derby winner Street Sense in The Preakness. Last year, Asmussen’s Nehro looked like a winner as the field turned for home and briefly took the lead from Shackleford. But

he couldn’t hold off Animal Kingdom. “I tell everybody I know what it feels like to think you’re going to win the derby,” said Asmussen. Now it’s Daddy Nose Best’s turn to try and spring another upset in racing’s biggest race like Mine That Bird did in 2009 and Animal Kingdom last year. Like those two, Daddy Nose Best likely will be a long shot with the odds makers. But the Kentucky Derby of late has become a haven for hunch players and underdogs. As for Asmussen, he knows what he once had in Daddy Nose Best and what he has now. “The last two races, he has shown a maturity he was lacking earlier,” said Asmussen. “I don’t think we were having the consistency with him last fall when we sent him to Canada and ran him at Woodbine. He was very flat and a long, long ways behind a very slow pace. There was a lot of improvement to see. His last two races he definitely left the gate like he knew where the wire was.” SureBet RacingNews.com, Inc. • April 2, 2012 • Vol. 6 No. 17 5

COVER STORY Isn’t He Clever earned $176,000 in graded money with his runner-up finish at Sunland and that might be enough to get him an entry in the Kentucky Derby. The colt, owned by El Pasoans J Kirk and Judy Robison, could try to enhance his career earnings total by running in the upcoming Arkansas Derby. But that might be one too many races too soon for the gelding that has scored four wins and has finished out of the money only once in eight starts. Henry Dominguez, the New Mexicobased trainer of Isn’t He Clever, said it’s likely he’ll point his horse to The Preakness. The shorter distance in The Preakness might be better suited for Isn’t He Clever’s speed and his ability to rate on or close to the lead.

This year’s Sunland Derby also attracted Ender Knievel from nationally known trainer Todd Pletcher’s barn. Pletcher too has extensive ties to New Mexico racing. Todd spent some of his childhood years in Sunland when his dad, Jake Pletcher, was training at the track. Former New Mexico Racing Commission Chairman Gil Moutry is a member of the partnership that owns Ender Knievel. For Moutry, who lives in Carlsbad, N.M., the Sunland race is the reality of what he believed was possible. Moutry won his first horse race at Sunland Park as a college student in 1969 with a filly named Capon. “I remember somewhere in the early ‘90s saying at a (Racing) Commission meeting that I would live for the day that

we would see jockeys like Jerry Bailey and Chris McCarron and trainers like D. Wayne Lukas ship horses into Sunland Park to run in a graded stakes race,” said Moutry. Moutry said thanks to Sunland Park owner Stan Fulton and General Manager Harold Payne, that day is here. Pete Herrera is a former AP sportswriter and now freelance journalist who covered sports and news for 39 years. His credits include four Summer Olympics and coverage of 40 All American Futurities from 1968 to 2008.

he classy Princess Arabella made short work of the $200,000 Sunland Park Oaks and scored an easy 8-length victory under jockey Martin Garcia. The large 3 year old filly by Any Given Saturday towered over her opponents in size and speed. The 1-5 favorite trained by Bob Baffert led every step of the way and was the easiest of winners. The unbeaten sophomore remained unbeaten in three career starts. She is following in the footsteps of her older stable mate Plum Pretty who the 2011 Sunland Park Oaks and went on to win the 2011 Kentucky Oaks. Princess Arabella glided through the one and onesixteenth miles in a good 1:43.52. She had plenty left in the tank for the Peachtree Stable of Wellington, Florida. The chestnut sensation earned $120,000 and looks destined for more stakes victories in the near future. In a magnificent display, Twelve Twenty Two remained

unbeaten over Sunland soil after another dominating victory in the $100,000 Harry Henson Handicap. The defending champion romped away from a solid field of Santa Anita runners and won by 12 and one-quarter length under jockey Luis Contreras. The classy Kafwain mare won her seventh race from seven tries over the local oval and was timed in a sharp 1:35.72 for the 1 mile. Winning trainer Henry Dominguez said, “I was amazed how well she ran. I knew she was training well. I didn’t think she would show the type of speed she showed. Her final kick was good.” Dominguez indicated Twelve Twenty Two may have a return trip to Kentucky where she could run in the Grade 1 Humana Distaff at Churchill Downs on Kentucky Derby day. Winning owners Kirk and Judy Robison of El Paso, Texas collected the $60,000 first place prize.

The two-time Harry Henson winner raced as the 6-5 favorite and paid $4.40 to win. Kayce Ace finished in second place, nearly 10 lengths in front of Remit. The runnerup is owned by Bill Casner and trained by Eoin Harty. Rose’s Desert exploded in mid-stretch to take a visually impressive 3 and 1/2 length win in the $110,000 La Coneja Stakes. The splendid Desert God filly unleashed an energetic move down the lane and raced past defending champion Shemoves en route to a rapid win in the five and one-half furlong stakes for New Mexico-breds 3-year-olds. Jockey Casey Lambert rode a perfect race and scored his second win of the day. Todd Fincher conditions Rose’s Desert for owner Joe Peacock of San Antonio, Texas. Rose’s Desert won the New Mexico State Racing Commission Handicap last December and was second in the Sydney Valentini Handicap last February. Dashkova upset heavily bet Dawn Is Affirmed to win the $110,000 New Mexico Breeders’ Oaks at one and

one-sixteenth miles. Under jockey Jose Rivera, Dashkova responded with a strong stretch running effort and inhaled the big favorite in mid-stretch and never looked back. The 3-year-old New Mexico-bred daughter of Attila’s Storm won by over 2 lengths and paid $29.80 on a $2 win ticket. She earned $66,000 for the Double Kee LLC of Phoenix, Arizona. Dwain Grissom trained the winner. Red hot jockey Luis Contreras won his third race of the day aboard the resurgent Imco Spirit in the $100,000 Bill Thomas Memorial Stakes at six and one-half furlongs. The multiple stakes winner found his top form on Sunday with a powerful closing finish. Racing as the 5-2 second choice.

The

JOEL factor

By Robert Geller

Our two-part feature on one of the most successful barns on the New Mexico circuit began last month with assistant trainer Tony Mathiasen. This month, the focus is on the team leader himself, trainer Joel Marr.

acing runs through his veins and training racehorses comes as second nature to him. His dedication to his craft is matched by his loyalty and integrity that make Joel a true treasure on the New Mexico racing circuit. With 80 horses in training – 15 to 20 2-year-olds, 20 3-year-olds and the remainder, older horses – the Joel Marr barn boasts 10 or 15 stakes-level horses. Since last month and post-Sunland Derby Day, the unlucky second by On Down the Road in the New Mexico State University Stakes, the gallant second by Dawn Is Affirmed in the New Mexico Breeders Oaks and an emphatic victory by the multiple stakes-winning That’s Who in the New Mexico Breeders Derby, elevated the barn to $893,271 in earnings, the second highest of the current meet at Sunland Park Racetrack & Casino. From 131 starts, Joel has trained 24 winners, 13 seconds and 16 thirds at the time of publication for an 18 percent strike rate for the win and 40 percent for top three finishers. Beyond his glowing statistics, Joel’s mild-mannered disposition and modest nature often place his successes under the radar as may well have been the case with his undefeated 19-time winner Peppers Pride, who fell short of the national acclaim she arguably deserved, which is where we begin our in-depth Q and A this month. How do you feel about Rapid Redux having been given a special Eclipse Award when Peppers Pride was not given such national recognition and how do you explain the different reactions? “I think it’s great that Rapid Redux was given a special Eclipse award. It is a 10 SureBet RacingNews.com, Inc. • April 2, 2012 • Vol. 6 No. 17

remarkable feat to win that many consecutive races at any level and recognition is due. As to Peppers Pride not being recognized by the national media I can only speculate as to why she was not. “Maybe because we are off the beaten path when it comes to racing news and headlines here in the Land of Enchantment, not much credence was given to her remarkable and unmatched performance, which spanned over four years. I think the racing establishment was a bit unwilling to acknowledge the accomplishments of a mare from New Mexico, owned by an average working cowboy from Texas, ridden by a hard-working jockey who had never ridden at the major racing circuits. Plus she had just surpassed Cigar and Citation and set a modern day world record. I just think it really upset their world a bit, so they decided to use an old adage, out of sight out of mind. “However, all the people involved with Peppers Pride know what a superior individual she was and the only reasons she ran was because she loved it and wanted to please us. She had the focus and desire that I have never seen in another animal, four-legged or two-legged. She never once read the Daily Racing Form or any other publication, so really the lack of national recognition didn’t bother her at all, and if she is good with it, so am I. I would like to thank everyone who contributed to Peppers success. You know who you are and she couldn’t have done it without you.” How keen an interest do you take in Peppers Pride as a broodmare and her foals? “I have a very keen interest in Peppers Pride as a broodmare. I, along with my friend Ray Ashford, hauled Pepper to Richland Hills Farm In Kentucky, where she

Joel Marr

began a new career. I have a 10 percent interest in her and her offspring and dream of getting the chance to train one of her foals. Just getting the opportunity gets me going and what if? No, probably not 19, but one has to keep the dream alive. She has a yearling filly by Distorted Humor and recently gave birth to a healthy colt by the same sire.” How has Peppers Pride impacted your life and looking back, your training? “Peppers Pride has impacted my life tremendously. It is hard to explain how a horse can make you feel things you didn’t know existed. Some people say they are just horses but those people didn’t know Peppers Pride. She taught me a whole lot about life and made me a better horse trainer in the process. She is the baseline for my training program in that I use some of the things we did with her to measure and prepare horses today.” What do you look for in a horse for the New Mexico circuit? “I look for versatility and longevity in a horse for the New Mexico circuit. There are tremendous opportunities to run for $100,000 or more for New Mexico-bred stakes quality horses throughout their career. I love a horse than can win going

we think gives each horse the best chance at success. Every horse has a name.” Can you describe the role of Don Briggs at Frontera Farm in relation to your operation and its importance to you? “Don is a very important part of our operation. Having Don essentially allows me to be in two places at one time, as he knows what to do and when to do it without having to be told. Don has worked for me for almost 10 years since moving here from Michigan, where he had trained on his own for several years. “Having a facility like Frontera allows us to freshen up horses, start young horses, rehabilitate injured and post-surgery horses and continue training horses that are ready to run. One would be hardpressed to find a harder working, more capable or conscientious person than Don to be in charge of their horses.” 6 furlongs then a month later win going 1 1/16 miles.” Can you elaborate on your association with assistant trainer Tony Mathiasen, who was featured in the first half of this story? “Tony called me from Lone Star Park two years ago during the summer and asked if I could take care of his pony horse for a week if he sent him to Ruidoso. I said sure and soon after Tony arrived, we made a deal and he began working with me. He had been working for Steve Asmussen for several years prior. “We both have certain responsibilities that are performed solely by one or the other but many tasks at the barn are shared. For example, currently we are only running at Sunland Park, so much of the time we are both at the barn and share many tasks. But when Sun Ray Park opens, Tony will go to Farmington, and I will go to Ruidoso. When at different tracks, we will talk several times a day and every afternoon I will go over the training chart for each horse for the next day. We will discuss how each horse trained that day, go over upcoming entries and make arrangements with jockeys for the next day’s workers.” You seem to be very loyal to your staff. “I have been very lucky to have had some very good assistants and long-term employees. I currently employ between

You are exceptional at letting a horse come into his or her own. That’s Who and the improving On Down the Road are recent examples. Can you elaborate on how to develop a horse that leads to such success? “I believe in the old adage, you are what you eat and in business, you are who you surround yourself with. I believe we How do you measure success? have some of the best employees in the “I measure success in the racing industry by accomplishing goals, whether business. When it comes to developing it be getting a problem horse corrected or a racehorse, one of the most important ingredients is the one that is too often winning 19 consecutive races with Peppers Pride. But most importantly, doing it tossed out. Patience can be the difference between a mediocre horse and a stakes in a way that makes you feel good about yourself with compassion and honesty for winner.

that’s when having excellent employees can keep you from going insane. I haven’t spent enough time with my family over the years, but now I’m better able to do that. Sometimes that means a 250-mile roundtrip for an hour of basketball practice with 15 10-year-olds but it’s worth it for me, and I hope they get something out of it as well.” You grew up in a racing family. “My mother, Pat Marr was a national champion in college and won the National Finals barrel race in 1965. She has trained several horses in her career, and I grew up with both parents as horse trainers. My dad, Gerald, has trained racehorses since the 60s, and I worked for him in the summer until I graduated from high school. I have always been around horses on a daily basis and have always had tremendous support from friends and family. “When I was growing up, my mother and father were both horse trainers so I was exposed to the business at a very young age. But I was always going to be a veterinarian. I went to Western Texas Junior College on a rodeo and scholastic scholarship and then graduated from New Mexico State University with a degree in animal science. The next step was vet school, but instead I had an opportunity to start training on my own and now here we are.” How involved is your family in your career? “My family is very involved in my career. My wife, Teresa, was a jockey for 16 years and helped me train for several years until we started a family, and now she trains performance horses and takes our daughters, Shacie and Shaeden, to rodeos and barrel races. Shacie is 10 and Shaeden is 8, and they are both avid horsemen. They have both already won several saddles and buckles in different rodeo events. They also love playing basketball, baseball and soccer. They are the most incredible bundles of energy and my greatest achievement in life. “Teresa takes up a lot slack at home, and my girls help keep things in perspective for me. I can have a terrible day at the races or set a world record and go home to the same two smiling faces that make a beeline for my arms when I walk in the door. The most successful and fulfilling thing I have accomplished in life is not on the racetrack but at home waiting for me

regardless of what happened at the track.” The injury to your regular rider, Carlos Madeira, forced you to look to other jockeys. Currently, who are your main go-to riders, and how much of the choice has rested with an owner and how much with you? “Carlos Madeira has been riding for me for over 10 years and has played a major role in the development of many of my horses, including Peppers Pride. He has not only been their jockey but has been at the barn every morning for training. Carlos was probably aboard Peppers Pride 90 percent of the time for training and 100 percent of her races. His recent injury has prompted me to look to other jockeys to ride for me. Ry Eiklebery has been doing a great job for me, and he’s a hard-worker with a bright future. Ken Tohill, the veteran, has also been riding several horses and helping in the mornings as well as Casey Lambert and Isaias Enriquez. They are all hard-working talented individuals and they know what it’s like to be sidelined because of injuries. These decisions have been mine for the most part.” What is the most frustrating aspect about New Mexico racing? “The most frustrating part of New Mexico racing is not being able to run many classes of horses on a regular basis and not being able to train for the condition book. It is very frustrating to prepare a horse for months for a race and then it doesn’t fill or say gets taken a different distance, and it usually happens to the higher-class horses. There seems to be a mental block that keeps people from running New Mexico-bred horses in route races and secretaries from writing the races to prepare them to become routers. I don’t think it is intentional but it has become a habit that is obviously hard to break.” What are your aspirations for the future? “I am a lifelong resident of New Mexico and I plan to stay in the state and continue to build a competitive stable and start young horses at our training farm in Tularosa. I hope to have a full service facility from training to rehabilitation to layups. I have been blessed with some tremendous clients that have entrusted me with some very capable horses, and I hope to continue training for them and develop as many champions as possible.”

A final word Lisa M. Rehburg, owner of former star, Lord Bosque and rising star, On Down the Road, on Joel Marr: “His integrity is next to none.”

PEPPERS PRIDE: A FEW FACTS

Peppers Pride earned over $1 million, won 19 consecutive races and was undefeated in her career, unlike Zenyatta, Rapid Redux and others who were all defeated prior to or after their win streaks, or both. She is the only horse in modern times in North America to never be defeated and win 19 races (you never hear about that). She sprinted and routed. She won on the lead and from off the pace. She commonly carried as much as seven pounds more than her next rival and gave 15 pounds to some in the field. Almost all of her races were off the layoff as she seldom had the chance to run in anything but stakes races. She was ridden by the same jockey, Carlos Madeira, for every race of her career (another record never mentioned), and raced for the same owner, Joe Allen, who was also the breeder and stallion owner, the same trainer, Joel Marr, for her entire career, the same groom, Armando Gonzalez, the same farrier, Cody Thurston, the same veterinarian, Jason Scott, the same farm manager, Don Briggs, the same jockey agent, Rick Kloeppel, the same assistant trainer, David Haas. She went to post with the same pony horse (Tomcat), and she stayed in the same stall at each respective track every year within 40 feet of her groom. Her entire team did its best to be as consistent as she was. Robert Geller has been the one and only voice of Emerald Downs since the track’s inception in 1996 and has also been track announcer at the highly successful Sunland Park Racetrack & Casino for over a decade. Prior to moving to the US, he served 6-1/2 years as the English commentator for the Royal Hong Kong Jockey Club and learned his craft in his hometown of Melbourne, Australia.

Lane’s End Texas Spring is in the air

By Martha Claussen

ane’s End Texas, one of the most respected breeding farms in the Southwest, is a pretty busy place this time of year. This is both foaling and breeding season at the 300-acre property just 45 minutes west of Houston. When spring is in the air, there is no shortage of activity or excitement around the farm. The Texas facility is owned by prominent horseman William S. Farish, the founder of the venerable Lane’s End in Versailles, Ky. Lane’s End is well reputed in the United States and internationally for its premier stallion roster which includes Smart Strike, Mineshaft, Candy Ride and Lemon Drop Kid. Farish, who was born in Houston, is a prominent supporter of Thoroughbred racing as an owner, and was honored with the Eclipse Award as leading breeder in 1992 and 1999. He served as chairman of the Board of Churchill Downs as well as a director and chairman of the executive committee of the Breeders’ Cup. While Farish’s farm in Kentucky is getting the lion’s share of media attention due to the arrival of Zenyatta’s first foal on March 8, the foaling season is in full throttle at Lane’s End Texas. It is a delight-

ful time of year, and the newborn Thoroughbreds and their proud mothers are a mesmerizing sight to behold. Within hours of their birth, the lanky foals are alert, standing on long and often wobbly legs. Their eyes are bright, and each has a unique personality. Some stay close to their mothers; others frolic, buck and kick. The pastures are filled with the weanlings, mares who are ready to foal following their 11-month gestation period, yearlings and up the road in lovely pastures, are the stallions of Lane’s End Texas. The whole scene plays out under the watchful eye of farm manager Danny Shifflett, who has been a trusted employee of Farish for the past four decades. “It’s 24 hours a day at this time of year,” said Shifflett. Follow the farm manager through several of the paddocks, and he will rattle off their lineage faster than a locomotive. “There is a daughter of Summer Squall,” said Shifflett. “This Head for the Shed mare just had a colt by Too Much Bling, there is a Surfboard mare who was bred to Grasshopper, that’s the dam of Badness, who won a stakes on Texas Champions Day, her full sister is in training.”

There is a hustle and bustle with foals, broodmares, stallions, vet visits and of course, the daily arrival of newborn bundles of joy. Shifflett estimates that since 1977, close to 4,000 Thoroughbreds have been born at Lane’s End Texas. “In the early 2000s, we had a boom and were seeing 108 to110 foals each season,” Shifflett said. While the quantity might have slowed, there is no shortage of quality in foal production and Lane’s End Texas homebreds who have become stakes winners.

Foaling season in full throttle The first foal at Lane’s End Texas arrived Jan. 27, and the season will continue through mid-June. The mares spend the majority of their time in the pasture, and Shifflett points out that many are foaled outside. “It’s more natural for them,” he said. “They have a lot more room. If the weather’s bad, we’ll bring them back to the barn. The older mares know the drill. Sometimes a younger mare having her first foal might want to be by herself.” Once delivered, both mare and foal come into the barn for observation and SureBet RacingNews.com, Inc. • April 2, 2012 • Vol. 6 No. 17 15

necessary medical attention, but as soon as possible, they return to the pasture. The broodmares have a calm serenity about them. Perhaps, just like women, who have toiled with a pregnancy for nine months, the broodmare carries her foal for an average gestation period of 11 months. While we will never know for sure, there has to be some element of pride seeing that bundle of joy as they nurse, stand and even sleep blissfully close by. However, sadly, some mares face complications during or following birth. A.P. Princess, a Texas-bred mare, retired from competition in 2001. She had produced six offspring and foaled a beautiful bay Valid Expectations colt in February. Two days later, she died. Fortunately, Bailey, a Quarter Horse mare, became the surrogate mom to the newborn. “We hand-fed the colt every two hours,” said Shifflett. “Bailey had foaled in Oklahoma, the same day as A. P. Princess. The colt adjusted well to her as a surrogate.”

Asmussen, the Will Farish colorbearer won the stakes in gate-to-wire fashion. “Color Code was beautiful, smart and an easy baby to get along with,” recalled Shifflett. “Too Much Bling was one of the top sprinters in the country. His offspring have a ton of speed, but are showing ability to route as well.”

Human contact begins on day one

At Lane’s End, personal attention is given to each foal, and Shifflett is a firm believer that early contact with humans goes a long way in the development of a future racehorse. “Absolutely it makes a huge difference,” states Shifflett. “You cut down on injuries. The biggest mistake you can make is to wait to halter-break them when they are yearlings. At that point they weigh 700 to 800 pounds. They’ll fight you and you can end up with soft tissue injuries.”

Press Release for Monday, April 2, 2012

FARISH MAKES $150,000 COMMITMENT OVER NEXT 3 YEARS TO TEXAS THOROUGHBRED EDUCATIONAL FUND LONE STAR WILL HOST LANE’S END STALLION SCHOLARSHIP STAKES AUSTIN, TX--William S. Farish, a Texas Thoroughbred Association Lifetime Member, past president of the organization and vice chairman of The Jockey Club, has pledged $150,000, in annual $50,000 donations for the next three years, to the Texas Thoroughbred Educational Fund (TTEF). The Texas Thoroughbred Association established the TTEF in 2005. The scholarship program provides qualified TTA members and their children with monetary assistance to help meet annual college education costs. To foster attention on the scholarship opportunities, officials of TTA, Lone Star Park and Texas Horsemen’s Partnership have created a new scholarship stakes. The premier running will be during the 2012 Thoroughbred meet and continue at least the next two years. The stakes has been named the Lane’s End Stallion Scholarship Stakes in honor of Farish’s major breeding farms, Lane’s End in Versailles, KY and Lane’s End Texas in Hempstead. The new stakes will have a $50,000-guaranteed purse value, with funds coming from the purse account less fees, and will be for Accredited Texas-bred fillies and mares, 3-year-olds and up, at 7 ½ furlongs on turf. The new stakes fits well on the Lone Star stakes schedule as 3-and-up Texas-bred fillies and mares have the 6 ½-furlong JEH Stallion Station on April 14 and the 6-furlong Valor Farm on July 7. The 3-year-old fillies also have the Got Koko Division of the Texas Stallion Stakes at 1 1/16 miles on May 12. The Lane’s End Stallion Scholarship Stakes will be run on Saturday, June 16, which has been titled “Scholarship Day at the Races, Investing in Our Future.” The two divisions of the $100,000estimated TTA Sales Futurity will be on the same program. The running of the new stakes will also coincide with TTA’s Annual Meeting and Awards Luncheon during which the owners and breeders of the 2011 Texas Horse of the Year, Skip A Smile, and other divisional champions of the past year, will be honored. By the June 16 date of the inaugural Lane’s End Stallion Scholarship Stakes, all scholarship recipients will have been selected for the 2012-13 college year. They will be in the winner’s circle after the Lane’s End Stallion Scholarship Stakes for the presentation followed by introductions, interviews and photo opportunities. Past TTEF scholarship recipients will also be invited. Both the new and old scholarship recipients will also make the trophy presentations after the running of each division of the TTA Sales Futurity. Speaking on behalf of the TTEF Board, Dr. Jacquelyn Rich, a TTEF director and former 4-term TTA president, said, “The generosity of Mr. Farish is overwhelming. Such a significant pledge to invest in the education of our children is a blessing for our scholarship committee, which has struggled in the recent past to raise funds. Although just announced, the news of the gift has been circulating for a few days now, and the excitement is contagious.” Dr. Rich added, “The willingness of Lone Star Park to card a new stakes during the first Thoroughbred meet under Global Gaming management is equally generous. We are making plans for ‘Scholarship Day at the Races, Investing in Our Future’, to be a celebration of our partnership with the horsemen, the wonderful new management of Lone Star Park, the next generation of Texas horsemen, and especially Mr. Farish. We could not be more pleased.” TTEF President Bill Tracy said, “Mr. Farish’s generous gift is an investment in the future of Texas that will help our scholarship recipients fulfill their educational goals. The Lane’s End scholarships will make an impact not only on our students, but on the horse industry’s future in Texas.” For more information, contact David Hooper at 512.695.4540 or davidh@texasthoroughbred.com The Texas Thoroughbred Educational Fund is incorporated under the provisions of the Texas Non-Profit Corporation Act and is a 501C3 charitable organization.

dent of the Thoroughbred Owners and Breeders Association, said, “The Reformed Racing Medication Rules provide a reasonable and common sense approach to achieve uniformity and impose severe

penalties on those who repeatedly violate rules. Adoption of these revised rules will provide our industry with necessary, responsible and positive reform.” The Jockey Club, founded in 1894 and dedicated to the

improvement of Thoroughbred breeding and racing, is the breed registry for North American Thoroughbreds. In fulfillment of its mission, The Jockey Club provides support and leadership on a wide range of

important industry initiatives and it serves the information and technology needs of owners, breeders, media, fans and farms, among others. Additional information is available at jockeyclub.com.

REFoRMED RACING MEDICATIoN RULES

Foreword

To bring forward much-needed uniformity to the medication rules and penalties in Thoroughbred racing, The Jockey Club in May 2011 methodically reviewed and synthesized rules from the 38 parimutuel racing jurisdictions in the United States, as well as rules from foreign countries. The goal was to provide to the industry a national medication rule book that provides the safest environment for equine and human athletes. The Reformed Racing Medication Rules were first introduced at The Jockey Club’s Round Table Conference on Matters Pertaining to Racing in August, 2011 after consultation and collaboration with representatives of the Racing Medication & Testing Consortium (RMTC), the Association of Racing Commissioners International (RCI) and the International Federations of Horseracing Authorities (IFHA). Since that time, The Jockey Club has continued its work with those groups and other Thoroughbred industry organizations. The result is a dramatically streamlined set of regulations that is on par with international standards, and creates a new enforcement scheme with stronger penalties and deterrents. It should be noted that within this document furosemide is considered a prohibited substance. The Jockey Club continues to encourage alignment with other racing nations that prohibit the use of furosemide on race day, and recognizes that a phased plan may be necessary to achieve that goal.

Executive Summary • • • • • • • •

Horses should be allowed to compete only when free from the influences of medication Medications permitted in the race horse are subjected to stricter regulatory thresholds with increased recommended withdrawal times.

guarantee or assurance and do not relieve or lessen the duties of the relevant racing regulatory authority or of the racetrack or racing association to assure the safety and security of horses on the day for which they are entered to compete.): 1. The administration of any Controlled Therapeutic Medication to a horse within 24 hours of the scheduled post time for which a horse is entered to compete shall result in a scratch. 2. Contact with a horse by a veterinarian other than an Official Veterinarian or designee any time 24 hours prior to the post time of the race for which a horse is entered to compete shall result in a scratch. 3. Contact with a horse on the day the horse is entered to compete shall only be by licensed personnel notwithstanding veterinarians approved under Section 4(g) above and shall only be permitted for general husbandry purposes, including, but not limited to, feeding, watering, bandaging, applying tack, applying topical dressings such as antiseptics, ointments, salves, leg rubs, leg paints, hoof care products, and liniments, provided that such activities do not result in the Administration of Controlled Therapeutic Medication(s) or Prohibited Substance(s). 4. Horse(s) arriving on racing association property less than four (4) hours prior to the scheduled post time of the first race on the day for which the horse is entered to compete are subject to scratch. 5. All horses entered to compete that do not reside on racing association property are required to go directly to the receiving barn upon arriving on association grounds and are subject to heightened surveillance, which may include electronic or video monitoring, at the owner’s expense, including, but not limited to, Laboratory analysis of Samples obtained at any time while on association property prior to the post time for the race in which the horse is entered to compete and may be requested at any time prior to exiting the racing surface(s). 6. All horses entered to compete should be clearly identified by signs plainly stating “IN TODAY” displayed clearly next to or on the stall doors not less than twenty-four (24) hours prior to the scheduled post time of the race in which the horse is entered to compete, or be subject to scratch. “IN TODAY” signs should contain the tattoo number, color and sex of the entered horse, along with a local 800 number for track security in order to facilitate reporting violations. Copies of a horse identifier’s list of entered horses with their tattoo numbers should be made available to security personnel who patrol the general barn area to be used for checks of “IN TODAY” horses. 7. All horses on the association grounds may be required to report to a receiving barn forty-five (45) minutes prior to the scheduled post time for the race in which

the horse is entered to compete. All barns, associated storage rooms, tack rooms, dormitory rooms and vehicles authorized to be present on racing association property are subject to search by security personnel employed or contracted by the racing association and/or the relevant racing regulatory authority. Earned Surveillance: a. All horses racing from a stable that is the subject of repeated violations involving Controlled Therapeutic Medications and/or the subject of medication violations involving Prohibited Substances shall report to the receiving barn eight (8) hours prior to the scheduled post time for the race in which the horse is entered to compete for a period of not less than 30 days. b.

The Licensed Trainer whose horse(s) are subject to Earned Surveillance shall be responsible for additional costs thereof. Vet “ride-along” program: Investigators or security personnel shall accompany Practicing Veterinarians during their rounds for the day. Wherever feasible and practical, different Practicing Veterinarians should be selected for a “ride-along” program. Consideration should also be given to doing this with vendors on a periodic basis as well. Training of Security Personnel: Racing associations should develop comprehensive training programs that enable backstretch security personnel to expand their knowledge and abilities in policing and securing the stable area. Associations should support and participate in available security training opportunities, such as those provided by the Thoroughbred Racing Protective Bureau (TRPB) and the Organization of Racing Investigators. These programs should promote use of “best practices” to secure horses on race day. Reporting and Communication: All racing associations and commissions shall display and support a toll-free, anonymous tip line. Association investigators should, through appropriate dissemination mechanisms such as TRPB, ensure information regarding alleged untoward activity on the part of licensees, improper race-day substances, or other useful or actionable intelligence gleaned during their race meeting is shared among their peers and to racing commission investigators. Failure by a licensee to cooperate with searches may result in fines and suspensions.

Klokstad, 79, was found dead at the family’s condominium in Richmond, Calif., not far from Golden Gate Fields where Klokstad maintained a string of runners. A member of the Washington Racing Hall of Fame, Klokstad had been in poor health for several months and had spent time in the hospital recently for a kidney ailment. Nevertheless, he continued to win races at a high percentage—he was six-for-22 in 2012 including a victory Saturday by Majestic Afleet, a 5-yearold gelding owned by his wife Billie and longtime client Art McFadden. Born March 1, 1933 and reared on the plains of North Dakota, Bud Klokstad began his training career in 1955. Along the way he conditioned many of the fastest horses in Washington history while finishing second in career stakes wins at both Longacres (54) and Emerald Downs (43). No horse was faster than the brilliant gelding Chinook Pass, a Washington-bred son of Native Born whom Klokstad conditioned to a world record time of :55-1/5 for five furlong, set Sept. 17, 1982 at Longacres. Chinook Pass next conquered Southern California, winning three stakes for trainer Laurie SureBet RacingNews.com, Inc. • April 2, 2012 • Vol. 6 No. 17 41

Anderson, before returning home to capture the 1983 Longacres Mile in his final race. Chinook Pass later was voted the Eclipse Award as the nation’s outstanding sprinter. Klokstad also developed a reputation for developing 2-year-olds, saddling a record seven winners of the Gottstein Futurity, including 1992 Longacres Horse of the Meeting Staff Rider, a Washington-bred son of Staff Writer who won five stakes and a then singleseason earnings record of $280,549. At Emerald Downs, Klokstad conditioned the filly Ropersandwranglers to a track record seven consecutive stakes victories from 1996-98 and three division championships. Flying Notes, voted 2002 Horse of the Meeting, turned in one of the most exceptional races in track history for Klokstad while winning the 2002 Emerald Downs Derby in a state record 1:45-2/5 for 1-1/8 miles. Klokstad also trained the state’s No. 1 all-time filly or mare earner Peterhof’s Patea, a 1988 Peterhof foal voted into the Washington Racing Hall of Fame after winning 16-of-52 starts and earning $623,367. Klokstad, who last trained regularly at Emerald Downs in 2008, was planning to return here this season and had been granted 19 stalls for the 2012 meeting that begins April 13. 42 SureBet RacingNews.com, Inc. • April 2, 2012 • Vol. 6 No. 17

Owner Gordy Jarnig, who enjoyed spectacular success with Klokstad in the claiming game, haltering stalwarts like Reba Is Tops and Upstairs Maid, said the trainer would be missed. “If you didn’t know Bud, he could be a little hard to understand,” Jarnig said. “He had that my way or the highway thing with the horses, but I loved the guy and always enjoyed talking to him and listening to him. It’s really sad.”

This was an incredible start to the year.” The field size was also impressive with an average of 8.7 starters versus 8.5 in each race throughout the 2011 racing season. “We felt that we offered our most competitive racing program ever given our increases in the daily purse structure and our stakes schedule during the 2012 Thoroughbred meet,” said Eric Johnston,

APRIL 1, 2012 Fair Grounds, New Orleans, LA Gantry wins again in Duncan Kenner; Look At The Time rules CC Derby By Graham Ross

Brittlyn Stable’s Gantry, rated just behind the early pace, rallied boldly when set down for the drive and got up to be best by three-quarters of a length in Sunday’s $150,000 Duncan F. Kenner Stakes on Fair Grounds’ Louisiana Derby Day supporting stakes program. “I can’t take more of this,” said Gantry’s excited owner Evelyn Benoit. “Yes, I can. I want to win the 12th race, too.” (That was the Southern Oaks Plantation Costa Rising Stakes, where that ownership’s Star Guitar was going to try to become the richest Louisiana-bred earner of all time.) Gantry, trained by Ron Faucheux, was winning his third stakes of the season during Fair Grounds’ Closing Day program of this winter’s Crescent City session. He also won the $75,000 Thanksgiving Handicap on opening day. “This is a very easy horse to ride,” said winning jockey Richard Eramia. “I had plenty of horse and I was always in perfect position. He gave me a very strong finish. He can run. He’s a good horse.” Gantry paid mutuels of $8, $4.20 and $2.80, toured the six furlongs in 1:08.58 and increased his career earnings to $284,850 with his sixth lifetime win in 11 career starts. His final time was a stakes record and the fastest six-furlong time of the meet. Whispering Oaks Farm’s Joe Hollywood, who set the pace with torrid splits of 21.57 and 44.24, held down the sec-

Hero of order earns highest honors with $220 win; Russian-born trainer surprises in Louisiana Derby

Gennadi Dorochenko, the diminutive Russian-born owner-trainer with a grip of iron and a tireless work ethic, proved that hard labor pays off by winning Sunday’s 99th running of the $1 million Louisiana Derby, richest race of the Crescent City season, with the biggest win payoff in the history of the showcase race as well as the largest win price of the 2011-2012 season at Fair Grounds. Hero of Order, a 3-year-old son of Sharp Humor owned by Dorochenko’s Raut LLC,

was the 53-year-old Russian’s armor-bearer, earning the Louisiana track’s highest honor in its nine-furlong centerpiece event, with New Orleans-born 46-year-old veteran jockey Eddie Martin Jr. in the irons. Speaking in his usual delightfully fractured version of English, Dorochenko said, “You see, I brought not expensive horses, but I make these horses expensive.” Referring to his jockey, Dorochenko said, “We run horses together, Eddie and me. I told him exactly what he wants to do, he do it and he wins. Eddie is best jockey. We are around horses together. I give him chance. A lot of jockeys have ridden him but he do exactly what I tell him, he wins.” After prompting the early pace, Hero of Order took command approaching the stretch, drew clear briefly and then withstood the late run of Brereton Jones’s Mark Valeski, regarded as the stronger half of the Jones-owned Larry Jonestrained coupling that also included Fair Grounds’ Grade 3 Lecomte winner Mr. Bowling.

Once I got the lead I gave my horse a little breather. He was getting a little tired late but he hung in there. “Winning the Louisiana Derby is awesome for me right here in my home town,” said Martin. “I’ve never won it before, but I’ve won all the other three big graded races here. Come to think of it, I may be the only New Orleans-born jockey to win all four of Fair Grounds’ biggest races. Now, to celebrate, I’m going to go home and get me a big po-boy!” Mark Valeski, ridden by the meet’s two-time jockey champion Rosie Napravnik, was never far back, challenged the winner in the late stages but could not get by, finishing second by a neck. “He ran great,” Napravnik said of Mark Valeski. “He tries hard. I still have confidence going forward. (Mark Valeski) is a hard-knocking horse and he ran very well.” Mark Valeski’s trainer Larry Jones, who won Saturday’s $500,000 Fair Grounds Oaks with Brereton Jones’s filly Believe You Can with Napravnik aboard, was stoic in defeat. “We got a good trip….We’ve been running against (Hero of Order) all meet with something.

The winning purse of $46,080 hiked Calimonco’s career earnings to $349,546 from a 5-7-7 record in 29 starts. Sadler said he would like to keep Calimonco in competitions at one mile on turf. His record in 14 starts over the distance and surface is 3-5-1. “This is a good distance for him,” said Sadler. “We think he’s a miler. His form is good and it was a nice win for him today. We’ll build on that.” The Sidd Finch Stakes recalls the name of a fictional baseball pitching sensation for the New York Mets who was created by writer George Plimpton in an April Fools’ hoax perpetrated by Sports Illustrated on April 1, 1985.

But then when Rosie got into her again, she started running again.” The late charge of Summer Applause was not good enough, coming up short by a head, and when her rider Robby Albarado came back to weigh in, someone in the crowd yelled in sympathy, “One more jump, Robby.” “Yeah, one more jump,” repeated the seven-time Fair Grounds riding champion of Summer Applause’s belated but not quite successful bid. Back in the winner’s circle, Cindy and Larry Jones and Brereton Jones were posing for pictures when the winner of

this year’s Fair Grounds Oaks as well as the $125,000 Silverbulletday Stakes here Jan. 21 came back with Napravnik aboard. “That was probably about the most uncomfortable pace scenario we could have gotten today,” said a relieved Napravnik, “but I’ve got to give all the credit to my horse. She overcame a lot, and as far as breast cancer survivors are concerned, who could have been a better horse to win this race than Believe You Can?” Fair Grounds Oaks Day served as a fundraiser for Susan G. Komen, New Orleans, which included a Survivors Parade and a Silent Auction and Raffle benefitting breast cancer awareness and research. The winner returned mutuels of $9, $2.80 and $2.10, accomplished the 1 1/16mile distance in 1:43.94, and increased her career earnings to $495,284 with her fifth win from eight lifetime starts for annexing the Grade 2 event, richest race for female horses run at the Fair Grounds each season. It was also the 111th win of the Fair Grounds season for the successful defending local champion Napravnik – who

eclipsed her final total of last season with her Oaks score. Summer Applause paid $2.40 and $2.10 as the Oaks runner-up, and Glencrest Farm’s Disposablepleasure, who finished third nine lengths farther back, returned $2.10 to show. Bluegrass Hall’s Colonial Express contributed to the early fractions of 22.88 and 46.47 before tiring. Racing resumes Sunday at Fair Grounds with its gala Louisiana Derby Day program – also closing day of the current New Orleans racing season. In addition to the 99th running of the $1 million Louisiana Derby as its centerpiece, the afternoon will offer 14 races including seven stakes events worth more than $2.1 million. A special early post time of 12:10 p.m. is scheduled.

It was a great race.” The Bayou was Napravnik’s meet-leading 110th winner, equaling her leading total from last year with 19 races left to go.

Santa Anita Race Park, Arcadia, CA Willa B Awesome, at 13-1, ends up with the spoils in hotly contested Santa Anita oaks as favorites give way

Reneesgotzip gained revenge on 1-2 favorite Eden’s Moon in Saturday’s Grade 1, $300,000 Santa Anita Oaks, but she failed to resist late-running 13-1 shot, Willa B Awesome, in Santa Anita’s premier event for 3-year-old fillies at 1 1/16 miles. With Martin Pedroza perfectly timing his chestnut filly’s closing bid, Willa B Awesome was victorious by a nose just after it had seemed that Garrett Gomez and 17-10 secondchoice Reneesgotzip had won the battle by getting the jump on trainer Bob Baffert’s Eden’s Moon and never conceding. But their skirmish through fractions that included a half in 46.81 and six furlongs in 1:09.95 helped turned the war in favor of Willa B Awesome, who sat just behind the duel54 SureBet RacingNews.com, Inc. • April 2, 2012 • Vol. 6 No. 17

ing leaders before desperately getting home in 1:42.47. Reneesgotzip finished 1 ½ lengths ahead of Eden’s Moon in the field of five. A pair of inaugural runnings of $200,000 stakes races for California-bred 3-year-olds at 6 ½ furlongs embellished the day’s program. The Echo Eddie went to Baffert’s 9-1 shot Derby Gold, who burst away from his competition in the final sixteenth to defeat favored The Black by three lengths in 1:14.77. Warren’s Amber, an 11-1 shot ridden by 19-yearold Eswan Flores, rallied between horses to capture the Evening Jewel for fillies while defeating favored Starlight Magic by three-quarters-of-alength in 1:15.97. After having been unable to keep up with Eden’s Moon, a 3 ¼ length winner over Reneesgotzip in the Grade 1 Las Virgenes Stakes at one mile earlier this month, Willa B Awesome was dismissed at odds of 13-1 in the Oaks. But Pedroza tweaked the style of the California-bred daughter of Awesome Gambler on Saturday. After going wire-to-wire to win the Grade 2 Santa Ysabel Stakes at 1 1/16 miles on Jan. 28, she was within a length of the battling

leaders in the Las Virgenes. The 46-year-old jockey kept Willa B Awesome just a bit further back this time. Whereas the filly trained by Walther Solis had become spent in the Las Virgenes, she was full of run when overcoming the 2 ½-length midstretch lead of Reneesgotzip on Saturday. “I was able to stay wide into the first turn and drop behind those two leading fillies,” recounted Pedroza. “Inside the three-and-a-half, I swung my horse to the outside and made my move. When I asked her to go, I knew I already had put away the Baffert filly, but I wasn’t sure if I could catch the leader. “The other filly (Reneesgotzip) looked like she was slowing down, and my filly was gradually getting to her. I waited until the last minute to change my stick, hoping that she would give a little more at the end. I think that was the key to winning.” “This is our first Grade 1 win and it’s a special day for the family,” said 30-year-old assistant trainer Alex Solis, who represented his father in the winner’s circle. “My father is in Guatemala today for my sister Maria’s wedding. “Right now, I don’t know if

he knows we won,” continued the younger Solis. “But I’m sure he’ll find out soon on Twitter. We knew our filly could close, and Martin gave her the perfect ride.” Terry Lovingier, the breeder of Willa B Awesome, didn’t seem sure of the outcome either. “I still think she got beat,” he said in the winner’s circle following the dramatic finish. “I owned quarter horses in the 1980s with Scoop Vessels and I’ve owned Thoroughbreds since the late nineties. This by far outweighs anything that has happened to me in horse racing.” “I’ve been part of the racing game for 60 years and an owner for 11 years, but this is my first Grade 1 win,” said Phil Daniels who owns Willa B Awesome in a partnership that includes Lovingier. “It’s a major, major day for me. I’m very passionate about the game, and Santa Anita is my home. “These horses bring their game every day. This horse is a fighter. Willa knows no bounds. This horse loves this track, and God willing, if she stays all together, she’s going to be reckoned with in November (Breeders’ Cup).” The mutuels on Willa B Awesome were $29.20, $7 and

Derby Gold

$2.40. Reneesgotzip, ridden by Garrett Gomez, paid $3.80 and $2.10. The show price on Eden’s Moon, with Martin Garcia aboard, was $2.10. “If they could have come to me just a little bit later in the race where we could have slowed down just another quarter of a second, I think she wins,” Gomez said of Reneesgotzip. “She did everything but win,” said trainer Peter Miller. The victory was worth $180,000 to the connections of Willa B Awesome. The purse increased her career earnings to $428,896 from a 4-3-2 record in 12 career starts. The win accounted for her third in a stakes race. The outcome of the Echo Eddie provided a small measure of solace for Baffert, recovering from a heart attack in Dubai where his Game On Dude and The Factor were soundly beaten in the Dubai World Cup and Dubai Golden Shaheen, respectively. Later in the day, Eden’s Moon gave way in the Santa Anita Oaks. Derby Gold, still a maiden after losing his debut by a neck as the odds-on favorite, attracted little attention with his quick ascent into the stakes ranks. But the son of Bertrando rose to the occasion under

jockey Garcia. “This saves the day,” said assistant trainer Jimmy Barnes, deputizing at Santa Anita for Baffert. Garcia put Derby Gold into a close tracking position behind swift pacesetter Pulpit’s Express, bided his time, took the lead entering the stretch and drew clear. The Black, with Gomez aboard, defeated Real Conundrum, ridden by Pedroza, by 1 ¼ lengths for the place in the field of 11. Racing without the blinkers he wore in his debut, Derby Gold paid $21.40, $8.40 and $6.20. The Black paid $4 and $3.60 while the show price on Real Conundrum was $10.40. The winning purse of $110,000 boosted the winner’s earnings to $121,200 for owner Arnold Zetcher. “This was his second time out,” noted winning jockey Garcia. “The first time he raced, he wore blinkers and he didn’t know what was going on. He was waiting for company last race and the winner just flew right by him. He’s been learning a lot, and today he relaxed well. Just look at what he showed today.

Gutierrez said Warren’s Amber would be pointed to Hollywood Park’s $300,000 Melair Stakes at 1 1/8 miles on April 28. A daughter of Broadway Moon, Warren’s Amber paid $24.20, $8.40 and $5.80. Starlight Magic, the 17-10 choice ridden by Mike Smith, returned $3.60 and $3.20. River Kiss, who ran third at odds of 59-1 under Daniel Vergara, paid $15.40 to show.

The Feature Mr Jess colt grabbed the bit and poured on the speed midway down the lane under mild urging. He powered home a confident winner in a time of 18.902 seconds for the 400 yards. The clocking earned an impressive 98 speed index. The winner vindicated his top qualifying status from the trials. He earned $77,990 payday from his second win of the year for the SM Cattle Export Company and Jaime Dominguez of Peyton, Colorado. Tf Featured Effort completes a terrific Sunland Park campaign.

Sam Houston Race Park, Houston, TX Spartocus fastest qualifier in trials for $487,770 Sam Houston Futurity

Sam Houston hosted 15 trials today in preparation for the richest race of the 2012 Quarter Horse Meeting, the $487,770 Sam Houston Futurity (Grade 2). The first trial, which took place at 2:30 p.m. produced the fastest qualifier when Spartocus won his 330yard trial in a time of :16.724 under rider David Alvarez.

Owned and bred by Jorge Meraz of Bastrop, Texas, Spartocus is a son of Shazoom out of the Dashin Bye mare First Dashin Bye. Trainer Bobby Martinez was not surprised that the sorrel colt produced such an impressive win at first asking. “I told the owner he was a runner,” said Martinez. “We took him to Louisiana Downs and he worked really well.” Spartocus will return for the final on April 14 to compete for a share of the $487,770 purse. Martinez won the 2010 Sam Houston Futurity with Sixes Liaison for owner Ted Abrams, Sr. “I had a lot of confidence in Sixes two years ago and I really feel this horse has talent,” said Martinez.” Martinez also qualified One Eyed Eagle, a filly owned by Dr. Tommy Hays and Charles Forbes, Jr. She ran second to Macho Maggie, the third-fastest qualifier, in the fifth trial, crossing the wire in :16.802 “The filly got beat in the trials at Shreveport,” said Martinez. “She was in the lead, but jumped at the shadows at the side of the building. I think we have a shot with her.”
