t was all about the money, nearly $1.2 million in purses, during the Zia Festival racing card on Sunday afternoon at Ruidoso Downs, and nearly 10-1 outsider Gonna Cha Cha took the biggest chunk of the cash, $165,912, winning the $395,028 Zia Futurity for Quarter Horses. The 11-race Zia Festival card was filled with stakes races for New Mexico-breds. Gonna Cha Cha fought in the final 100 yards with The Four Js to win by a head in :19.927 for the 400 yards. It was three quarters of a length back to thirdplace finisher Runin Sixes. Owned by Norma Alvarez, Brenda Alvarez and Debra Laney, Gonna Cha Cha came into the Zia Futurity with only two

starts and has stepped forward with each out to remain undefeated. After winning his maiden at first asking on June 3, he improved to take his Zia Futurity trial by two lengths as the 8-5 favorite for trainer Juan Gonzalez. Runner-up The Four Js, owned by David Barrett with J and SM Inc., won his maiden in his first start when he won his trial by one-and-threequarter lengths. He finished fourth in the New Mexican Spring Fling Futurity. Third-place finisher Runin Sixes

scored his only win from five starts when he took his career debut on March 2 at Sunland Park. However, he has been on the board in each of his other outs.

One of the possibilities would be to impose a $5 fee on an owner every time his horse is entered in a race. Another option might be to take a small percentage —1 or 2 percent -- of the money that now goes into purses and channel it into a fund that would pay for testing of racehorses. “Both of those are the ones we’ve talked about,” Doughty said. “If you’re going to run your horse, you’re going to pay for the testing.” Both proposals are likely to meet opposition from horsemen. Jack McGrail, the executive director of the New Mexico Horsemen’s Association, said the association’s membership fully supports cleaning up the

industry. But he says the racing commission should look at other options before trying to tap into the purse money or impose the $5 fee. “We’re not saying that those options shouldn’t be on the table if there is insufficient money available through the ordinary structure … but I don’t think your first step should be purse money,” said McGrail. McGrail said given the economic impact of horseracing in New Mexico, there should be enough revenues to fund the racing commission’s budget at the level it needs. “If the tax revenues are at a certain level, then the state should be able to fund the enforcement agency given the

revenue generated by that industry,” he said. Doughty expects opposition to both proposals and says he’s already seen it. “There is some pushback,” he said. “I’ve talked to some legislators, and there is going to be some (opposition) on taking money from the (purses). Also on the idea of paying an extra $5 fee. This is something where the industry is going to have to come together as a whole and everyone is going to have to pitch in.” McGrail said the horsemen realize the drug problem is a serious one, and “there’s a consensus that we need to do something.” “For the benefit of the horsemen really,” McGrail said. “When you look at the statistics, 98 percent of the tests that come back are not Class 1 or Class 2 violations. We’re talking about fairly benign kind of violations when you’re talking about a bute (Phenylbutazone) overage versus the kind of thing we’re talking about with dermorphin, cobra venom or cocaine. Things that should never be in a horse. “Those horsemen who engage in that activity, that’s a very small percentage of the overall population, and horsemen

are fully aligned with the commission in saying we need a level playing field or we can’t win.” A small percentage wasn’t the case when it came to the horses tested after the Ruidoso Futurity trials on May 25. Doughty said between 42 and 50 horses were tested, and of those, nine came up positive for dermorphin. That means nearly 25 percent of the horses sent to the test barn had a positive test. It’s reasonable, said Doughty, to conclude that other horses that weren’t tested probably also ran with the powerful painkiller in their systems. “The odds would be too high that we got lucky and randomly picked only those horses (that had dermorphin),” he said. “I think there were more dermorphin uses in the trials.” Doughty considers out-of-competition testing crucial to the overall effort to eliminate doping. Under such a program, more horses could be randomly tested. It would include horses that haven’t raced for a while but are on the grounds of a racetrack and registered with the racing office. Currently, most of the testing is post-race.

Doughty said the commission also wants to expand its necropsy program. Necropsy is what an autopsy is for humans. “I would like to necropsy every racehorse that has a fatality or a catastrophic injury,” he said. Doughty says there is plenty of blame to go around for the turmoil engulfing horseracing in New Mexico. But it’s time to stop pointing fingers and join hands. “I think the industry as a whole is to be blamed, not just commissions,” he said. “But it’s a ripe opportunity for us to fix this. I don’t think it’s just the commission or just track management or the horsemen. Everybody has to be on board to get it cleaned up.” Pete Herrera is a former AP sportswriter and now freelance journalist who covered sports and news for 39 years.

TEAM GONZALES:

Horseracing is the bond that binds this family

By Pete Herrera

UIDOSO DOWNS — Total captivation. From 5-year-old twins Jesse James and Nathaniel, to dad James, the Gonzales family eats, sleeps and dreams horseracing. Visit Ruidoso Downs on a summer day and it’s virtually impossible not to run into a member of Team Gonzales. Venture over to the track in the

early morning, and you’re bound to find 14-year-old Sebastian working out one of his dad’s Quarter Horses or Thoroughbreds. Head for James’ barn and you’ll encounter James and Antoinette’s first-born — 16-year-old James III — rubbing down a horse or reading up on bloodlines. And when Jesse James isn’t in the saddle on his pony horse, he’s usually aboard a golf cart with Nathaniel and their 8-year-old brother Matthew as the trio tours the backside. In reality, Antoinette and her five boys never had a chance to escape this passion for the sport, this addiction to long days, great expectations and winner’s circles. James and Antoinette began dating while both were students at West Las Vegas High School and James had already begun his jockey career. By the time James was in his mid ‘20s, his riding career had soared to the point that he had become the first-call rider for Blane Wood. From 2002 to 2006, James rode in five straight All American Futurities, including a win aboard By By JJ in 2003. His weight and his desire to spend more time with his growing family prompted his retirement in 2007, and the next year James made the inevitable transition to training. Potentially, the sequel could be just as good. Over the last four years, James has conditioned one top runner after another. A First Caller, whom James had ridden during the horse’s outstanding 2-yearold season, was a breakthrough acquisition. “I’m thankful

I got the opportunity to train him,” says James. “When I got him, he was 4, and he just picked up where he left off.” A First Caller won the New Mexico Breeders Championship in Albuquerque last year. James also picked up Streakin Cherry, winner of The Refrigerator Handicap at Lone Star and Love Me Caliente, winner of the Spring Fling at Sunland. “We’re putting together a decent resume,” says Gonzales. Decent became dynamic in June when Gonzales won the biggest race of his training career with Executive Brass. The 3-year-old gray romped to victory in the $679,200 Ruidoso Derby, beating a field that included 2011 All American Futurity winner Ochoa and Rainbow Futurity winner Feature Mr Bojangles. With four straight wins and earnings of more than $300,000 this season, Executive Brass is now headed to the All American Derby trials. Not an original nominee for the $2-million-plus derby, owners John Thurmond and Sherree and David Meridyth plan to pay the $50,000 supplemental fee to get Executive Brass into this month’s trials. “He has earned his way in,” says David Meridyth, who with Thurmond paid $2,700 for Executive Brass at a yearling sale in Oklahoma. Then they turned him over to James. “He has done a wonderful job for us,” says Meridyth. “For a young trainer that just got into the game, he’s very intelligent.” As a 2-year-old, Executive Brass qualified for the finals of the West Texas Futurity, but ran out of the money in the finals. He ran second behind Feature Mr Bojangles in the finals of the Four Corners Futurity in Farmington. Amazing effort given the physical discomfort he must have been feeling because of a birth defect. The defect involved a testicle that failed to drop and remained in the abdomen. “This horse has always been fast, but he had a testicle inside his belly,” says James.

Executive Brass’ true talent showed up after he underwent surgery last December to remove the testicle that failed to drop as well as the second testicle. “That testicle was about the size of a grapefruit and it was bruised up and was pinching a sciatic nerve from the top of his pelvis down to his hock. It’s made a world of difference,” says James. No longer feeling the pain and discomfort he did as a 2-year-old, Executive Brass became a derby-caliber horse almost overnight. He won his trial for the West Texas Derby but just missed making the finals with the 11th-fastest time. At Ruidoso Downs, he ran the fastest qualifying time for the Ruidoso Derby, then went wireto-wire in the finals as the third betting choice behind Ochoa and Feature Mr Bojangles. “This horse is running with so much more confidence and so much more relaxed,’’ says James. To get him into the trials for the Ruidoso Derby, Thurmond and Meridyth had to pay the $25,000 supplemental fee. Gonzales said he knew it was worth the risk, but his oldest son wasn’t so sure. “After he ran in the (Sunland) trials in El Paso, the owners asked him what his plans were. Dad said he wanted to supplement him into the (Ruidoso) Derby. I kind of looked at him and thought, OK, what’s the matter with you. There’s Ochoa. Look at what he did to the All American (Futurity) field. Brass last year didn’t come close to anything like that. But he said it with such confidence, I think the owners were as shocked as we all were.” James says he decided to pass up the Rainbow Derby — which was won by Ochoa — so he could have a fresh horse for the All American, which will be the richest race in history for 3-year-old Quarter Horses. “I didn’t want to wear him out,” says James. “He’s run four times already this year and he’s

won them all. He’s really sound.” This year has been a tough one for New Mexico’s horseracing industry. Between a New York Times story in April that labeled the state as one of the worst in the country for track safety and how racehorses are treated and the emergence of positive tests from the trials for the Ruidoso Futurity, the industry has been sporting a lingering black eye. In the midst of his big year, James Gonzales was not able to dodge the trouble. One of his horses tested positive for an excessive amount of Clenbuteral, a steroid-like chemical commonly used to alleviate breathing problems in a horse. James served a six-month suspension, and the New Mexico Racing Commission has since banned the use of Clenbuteral for a year in any amount. James calls the suspension “a learning process.” A “simple, costly mistake. Very educational.” “This is the James Gonzales barn and whatever goes on in here is my responsibility,’’ he says. James says there were some “positives” that came out of his suspension. Among them perhaps was the fact that Antoinette, ever the low-key, below the radar, bookkeeping mom, stepped in and became the trainer of record for her husband’s barn. “I was going to do whatever I needed to do,” says Antoinette. “Before, my focus had been the kids and their needs.” There was a learning curve of course. For one, Antoinette had never before been in the paddock. “I’ve been around the horses and done stuff with them, but that was a whole new experience for me,” she says. A shining moment in her brief tenure as head trainer? Her first win in late December with the Thoroughbred named Smack Talking. Ironically, James — whose barn now is dominated by Quarter Horses — got his first

BRASS TACKS:

Wrong color but right horse turns out to be big bargain

ome racehorses are home-breds. Some are purchased at auction. Still others are acquired through private sales. You could say Odessa, Texas, partners David Meridyth and John Thurmond picked up Executive Brass from layaway. As Meridyth tells it, here’s how he and Thurmond ended up with the gray gelding who in June won the Ruidoso Derby and is now Executive Brass headed to the trials for the All American Derby. Two years ago, on their way back to Texas from Louisiana, Thurmond and his wife decided to swing through Oklahoma to look in on the Heritage Sale. A friend of Meridyth back in Odessa asked him if Thurmond would be willing to purchase a horse for him. Thurmond agreed and paid $2,700 for Executive Brass, a yearling at the time sired by Executive Menace out of the mare Entrust. Another Executive Menace colt had sold just ahead of Executive Brass for $3,200, but Thurmond missed out on that horse. Thurmond had Executive Brass hauled back to Odessa to Meridyth’s barn. Meridyth contacted his friend and told him he could pick up the yearling. “He came over, looked at the horse and said he’d be back with his trainer,” said Meridyth. “But he never came back, so John and I decided to split the cost.” So for $1,350 each, Thurmond and Meridyth got the horse that now as a 3-year-old has earned more than $300,000 with four straight wins and will be among the favorites to qualify for the All American Derby on Labor Day. Thurmond and Meridyth initially sent Executive Brass to the Double Eagle farm in Roswell. There, former jockey Jerry Nicodemus told them he thought Executive Brass had a chance to develop into a futurity colt. Executive Brass was hampered by a birth defect during his 2-year-old season but has been one of the country’s top 3-year-olds this summer. Meridyth says he may have found out recently why his friend never came back with the $2,700 it would have taken to acquire ownership of Executive Brass. “I heard the reason was because he (Executive Brass) was the wrong color of gray,’’ said Meridyth.

win as a trainer with a Thoroughbred. As they go forward, the Gonzaleses — parents and kids alike — know there will be choices to make, paths to follow, hopes realized, hopes revised. Sebastian, a freshman this fall at Robertson High School, seems destined to follow in his dad’s footprints as a jockey. “I’ve never really thought about anything else except being a jockey,” says the smiling teenager who also competes in football, basketball and track. In less than two years, Sebastian, who currently weighs around 90 pounds, will be old enough to apply for a jock’s license. His dad knows the ability is there. “I wish I’d had the natural talent that boy has,” says James. “He’s been helping me (exercise horses) since he was 10 or 11. He’s got really good hands, good balance. Not because he’s my son, but he’s everything you look for in a jockey.” Jesse James, who along with Nathaniel will enter first grade this fall, shows similar attributes, says his dad. “He rides horses now, and I see the way he rides and the way he’s around horses,” said James. “Just the way he sits on a horse or on the arm-rest of a couch.

You can see it.” For mom, it’s impossible to ignore the dangers that are part of the sport. “That’s my biggest fear,” said Antoinette. “As parents, we’re the protectors. I saw James go down quite a few times when he was riding. As a mom, I don’t know how I will take my sons riding. I tell Sebastian I will support him if he decides to ride, but I want him to continue his education because things don’t always work out as a rider and you need something to fall back on.” James III has mastered the ability to multi-task and splits his time between football and his passion for the family business. “It’s tough for me because I love football, but the horses support us,” he says. “They give us what we need to live on, and they give us our cleats and helmets for sports.” In the fall and winter, when Sunland’s live meet is running, Antoinette and James live at their home in El Paso. The five boys are in Las Vegas, going to school and living with their grandparents. Such a separation can tax family unity, but the Gonzaleses work it out. Late

night road trips between Sunland and Las Vegas and Las Vegas to Ruidoso are not uncommon. “They support each other,” says Leroy Gonzalez, the Robertson football coach. “If there’s a big race, James (III) will drive at night if he has to be there. His commitment is unusual for a kid his age.” A commitment that likely will insure that James III too will be around horses in years to come. “I want to be a vet,” he says. “Who knows, things change. Who’s to say that in a couple of years, I might want to do something else horse-related?’’ If not, it’s a good bet there may be an assistant trainer’s job available in his dad’s barn.

The 2012 Prince of Wales Stakes A historical at Fort Erie Race Track day to remember By Martha Claussen

Prince of Wales was a mixture of the young, families, seniors and ladies in howers pelted the community of festive hats. For many attendees, it is an Fort Erie, Ontario, on the morning annual tradition, sometimes shared by of July 15. Not a welcome forecast several generations. for what could be the last running of the Tony Musgrove perched by the beauprestigious Prince of Wales Stakes, the tiful Fort Erie paddock and observed the Canadian version of the Preakness. fi eld of nine Prince of Wales contenders Fort Erie Race Track was reeling as they paraded through the tree-lined from a shocking blow the government walking ring. had dealt by removing slot machines on “I love coming here,” said Musgrove, April 30.

well as hometown trainer, Ralph Biamonte. Jockeys included top Woodbine riders Patrick Husbands, Emma Jayne Wilson, Omar Moreno and United States prominent pilots, Alex Solis and Corey Nakatani. While the Queen’s Plate is contested over Woodbine’s polytrack surface, the Prince of Wales starters would have to make the transition to the dirt oval, many for the first time in their careers. Veteran Canadian rider, Patrick Husbands had faith in his filly, Dixie Strike, who made a valiant charge from 14th to a third-place finish in the Queen’s Plate. Owned by John Oxley the daughter of Dixie Union out of the Smart Strike mare Noble Strike, again called on her strong closing kick to draw off to an one-length win over Ultimate Destiny and Colleen’s Sailor. With the impending threat that Fort Erie might be shuttered at the end of this year, the victory in the Prince of Wales took on a deeper dimension. It was an emotional celebration for Husbands and trainer Mark Casse as they hoisted the trophy.

Thibert is discouraged that despite efforts by racing officials, horsemen and breeders, the government has not relented on its decision. “The economic impact is huge,” states Thibert. “Over five years, it is estimated that $1 billion will be lost as well as 60,000 jobs in Ontario. None of us understand why Fort Erie is the target.”

Trainer Mark Frostad, watched as his filly, Irish Mission, failed to handle the dirt surface, but he took time to reflect on the fate of the Ontario racetrack. “It’s a terrible feeling,” stated Frostad. “Fort Erie is not only an integral part not only of this community, but Ontario’s heritage. Granted, it’s different from Woodbine, but it’s a wonderful place; we certainly thought it was worth saving.”

Can “The Fort” be saved?

The show must go on Breeding Industry,” which was released on July 25. The Ontario Horse Racing Industry Association, with the help of an OHRIA Task Force, developed the 26-page document in response to the Ontario government’s cancellation of the “slots-atracetracks” program. The Ontario government has pledged $50 million in funding to the horseracing industry over the next three years in an effort to help transition workers in the racing and breeding industry.

Live racing will continue through Oct. 30 with Thoroughbred action and five days in October devoted to Quarter Horses. Fans are invited to enjoy the racing at the picturesque racetrack over the next several months and to soak up some of its rich 115-year history. Patrons should not fear a somber ambience. While their hearts may be breaking, the management and staff at Fort Erie are determined to put on a great show for their fans. On Prince of Wales Day, they certainly accomplished that. “It was encouraging to see the turnout and know that we presented a great day of racing,” stated Thibert. “This is our legacy; we want to do it well.”

It has been an unprecedented year for Fort Erie. The closing of the slot facility resulted in more than 200 employees losing their jobs. The innuendo was that slot revenue was sustaining the horseracing program, which has not sustained the popularity of other sports in Canada. Fort Erie management and concerned fans have written letters and marched in unison at Queen’s Park, but to no avail. Unless a radical measure is agreed upon, Fort Erie will close at the end of the year, after 115 years as an Ontario business and sports venue. This has been a very stressful time for Jim Thibert, chief executive of the Fort Erie Live Racing Consortium and he takes little Canadian Mounties with Mark Casse and Patrick Husbands. consolation in the “Plan for the Photo by Michael Burns Photography Future of the Ontario Racing and

breaks and doors that opened up for me, as well as great support by people like Patrick Kerrison, Steve Peery, and to some degree Gary Norton at Portland Meadows that helped me get that first job.

Can you briefly describe the nature of your childhood and its influence in becoming an announcer? My dad took me to the track all the time as a kid. We went to Longacres at least once a week, and when we would get home, I would get up on my bike and ride around the block, whipping it with a stick pretending it was a horse and doing my best Gary Henson impression. To this day I can still hear his voice “And here comes Captain Condo.” I think as children, we hold on to many parts of our past, and for me, Longacres and Gary Henson are something that will always be in my heart and in my head. My dad was a devout horse player, my mom owns a poker room and casino, so I was bound to end up around gambling somehow. After my dad died in 2001, I just kept going to the track, maybe to just keep alive some of those memories. I got a job at Emerald Downs in 2004 working in the media office and loved it. I still remember on July 4th that year, seeing Cesario win the American Oaks and hearing Vic Stauffer’s call make the hair on my neck stand up. I bought binoculars the next day and started practicing. I kept practicing in the Emerald Press Box whenever I could. I made a tape of my practice calls and gave them to you (Robert Geller) to listen to and I’ll never forget saying to you after you listened, “It’s a start right?” And you told me “It’s more than a start, you sound great.” That just inspired me that much more to keep practicing that much harder. A couple months later I got to fill in for the Portland announcer at the time, Mike O’Brien, for a day when he was sick. I made a tape of that day’s races and submitted them to River Downs and got hired. There were really some lucky

How does the public nature of the job impact you? Well, because Portland Meadows isn’t exactly a household place around these parts, it’s not that public. Whenever I tell people what I do for a living, it’s always a great conversation piece, because it really is a cool job. I have had people tell me when they meet me that I didn’t look like what they thought I would, as they have heard my voice but never seen me. I do kind of prefer being in the background and not being too out there, because I have pretty severe anxiety disorder. Being around crowds or being in the public eye isn’t my cup of tea. Some say there is nothing like being live on air. What is the lure? It’s definitely a rush and a high, no doubt about it. There is a feeling of excitement when you hear your voice over those speakers.

and a conclusion reached. With social media, often it’s people who like to hit and run, and nothing constructive can be gained. And that inability to have a real discussion kind of led me to personally get away from it, and I’m much happier for it. What motivates you? In work, I really just want to enjoy the opportunity to get to call races and be around the sport. I’m thrilled to be able to make a living doing something I find enjoyable and can have fun doing. I want to be as good as I can and go as far as I can as an announcer, and hopefully I can ride this train as long as I can, as I’d hate to ever have to get a real job.

What interests or pursuits do you enjoy? I’m an avid musician, reader and now back to being a student. I’ve played guitar and written songs for over a decade and it’s really my great escape in life. To be able to write something and have an idea go from just an idea to a whole song is a great process. I usually just record a song as a demo, just me and my guitar. I’m not in it to make records or anything like that, just a hobby. I love to read You are adept in social media and networking. How much an asset, how much books and keep furthering my education.

What are some of your career goals further down the line? I’d love to be able to call some big races and great horses someday, but most important, I think I just want to have a long career and keep working. This job, while it is amazingly fun and thrilling, is not always the easiest to maintain steady employment in. So far I’ve been blessed with six-plus years with employment and haven’t had to try and find another job, and I know of colleagues who haven’t been as fortunate and that is tough. But hopefully with continued practice and improvement, maybe someday I’ll be able to call some graded stakes races or something like that. If I don’t make it to the bigger tracks, as long as I’ve worked my hardest and tried my best, I’m fine with that as well. I’m very proud to be the announcer at little Portland Meadows. It’s a badge I wear very proudly, and if I’m fortunate enough to keep calling here, then that’s great by me. Which is your favorite horse to call? Big Dave L is a favorite just cause I’m friends with the owners and I like the name. I also love a horse named Shamundi, and any of the old war horses like West

JULY 29, 2012 Aurora, CO Arapahoe increases purses for final four weeks of meet

Arapahoe Park has increased purses on all overnight races by $1,000 for the final four weeks of the meet that runs until Aug. 19. “Because of full fields we’ve had an increase in handle, and that’s why we’ve decided to have a purse increase and give back to the horsemen,” racing secretary Bill Powers said. This is the third year in a row that Arapahoe Park has posted an increase in wagering handle. This year overall handle is currently up four percent.

JULY 28, 2012 Workers’ Compensation Program for California horsemen renewed by CTBL The California Thoroughbred Business League (CTBL) has renewed its agreement for a statewide workers’ compensation program with Finish Line Self Insurance Group (FSLIG). The program renewal became effective July 1. Unfortunately, due to higher workers’ compensation costs and a continuing decline in the pool of available subsidy

funding, the new program will have changes to Jockey Mount premiums as described below. However, Starter Fees have not been reduced. Finish Line has been in operation for seven years serving Quarter Horse horsemen, and has handled workers’ compensation for the Thoroughbred horsemen for the past year. Owners having workers’ comp insurance questions concerning the FSLIG Workers’ Compensation program may call (714) 820-2743. The CTBL – composed of racing associations, horsemen’s organizations, and fairs – oversees funds intended to provide relief to owners and trainers in three ways: A subsidy for trainers’ backstretch workers’ compensation; A subsidy for jockey mount workers’ compensation; A Starter Fee to owners of horses competing in overnight races, which finish sixth and beyond (and to fifth place finishers when their share of purse money is less than the corresponding Starter Fee). Unfortunately, workers’ compensation costs have risen and the estimated pool of available subsidy funds has declined considerably since 2008. Consequently, the CTBL has made the following change effective July 1, 2012: Jockey Mount Workers’ Compensation Fee – The jockey mount insurance premium increased $35 to $175 per mount. CTBL is subsidizing $70 per mount, or a 40% subsidy. The result is that owners will pay a net rate of $105, which is up from $90 currently.

Ruidoso Downs, NM Higheasterjet Handicap finish restored to original order The order of finish in the Grade 3, $30,000 Higheasterjet Handicap on July 1 has been restored to the original order of finish by the New Mexico Racing Commission. JD Baccarat crossed the finish line a head in front of A Toss Up and then was disqualified and placed last for interference by the Ruidoso Downs stewards. The NMRC overruled the stewards decision and the NMRC order was signed and finalized on July 27. The order of finish is JD Baccarat in first place, A Toss Up in second place and Noconi in third place. The appeal to the NMRC was made by JD Baccarat’s trainer Paul Jones. A gelding by Mr Jess Perry, JD Baccarat scored his first stakes win in the Higheasterjet. He was third in the $703,000

Ruidoso Derby in 2011 for owners Johnny Cope, Stan Herzog, Butch Southway, R.D. Hubbard and Bat Masterson. Within 30 days of this decision, it can be appealed to district court.

JULY 27, 2012 RCI to consider ‘One Strike, You’re Out’ The Board of Directors of Racing Commissioners International (RCI) has voted to direct its committees to develop a “One Strike, You’re Out” proposal for those licensees found to be responsible for putting substances in horses that endanger the horse. Under an approach outlined by RCI President Ed Martin, not only licensed trainers, but also owners who fail to monitor their trainers and the veterinarians who provide or facilitate the administration of such substances could be subject to exclusion. In addition to racing license revocation, complaints would also be filed with law enforcement for possible violations of animal cruelty statutes. The RCI Regulatory Veterinarians Committee has been instructed to compile a list of substances that, if found in a horse during drug testing, would warrant this type of treatment. The committee chairperson, Dr. Lynn Hovda of the Minnesota Racing Commission, suggested that the presence of some therapeutic substances (e.g. Clenbuterol) at excessive levels should also be considered, suggesting that such administrations may qualify those responsible for similar regulatory treatment. Maximum penalties under current RCI Model Rules recommend a first time penalty for the most egregious drug violation of a one to three year

suspension and a $10,000 to $25,000 fine. A license revocation recommendation currently does not apply in until the second offense with aggravating circumstances. “There is general consensus among the regulators that these guidelines do not deter those who would use things that endanger our horses. This will be changed,” predicted Martin. The RCI Board also agreed in principle with a proposed procedure in which veterinarians believed to be overusing legal medications in inappropriate ways would be referred to those agencies with the power to review their actions and revoke their license to practice veterinary medicine. “RCI is clearly concerned about reports of the overuse and possible abuse of legal medications and believe that

this is where the hole is in the racing regulatory scheme,” Martin said, noting that racing commissions do not have jurisdictional authority over the practice of veterinary medicine. While endorsing the concept, the RCI Board deferred action on a specific protocol proposed by Martin based upon concerns raised by the Regulatory Veterinarians Committee. The committee was instructed to suggest modifications and instructed the Model Rules Committee to consider how best to handle such referrals at its next meeting, currently scheduled for December 6, 2012 in Tucson, Arizona. In other actions, the RCI Board adopted the following Model Rule revisions: • A requirement that written logs be maintained by racetrack security person-

with slight drops in attendance and all sources handle, track president Jack Liebau was generally heartened with the results, considering problems facing the industry, particularly the ready-to-run horse inventory and high rate of unemployment in California. The average daily on track attendance was down 9/10ths of a percent from the corresponding 54-day meet in 2011. Bolstered by increased advance deposit wagering, the daily average Southern California handle of $4,773,009 was up 2/10ths of a percent from the average of $4,763,002 during the 2011 season. A wagering decrease outside the state on Betfair Hollywood Park races caused the all sources average handle to decline 2% - $9,064,114 in 2012 compared to $9,251,001 a year earlier. The average field size of 7.48 horses per race was 2.6% less than the 2011 Spring/Summer meet. “Considering our expectations going into the meet, I thought, relatively speaking, we did very well,’’ said Liebau. Introduced by Holly-

wood Park at the start of the 2011 Spring/Summer season, the Players’ Pick 5, a 50 cent minimum bet with a California low takeout rate of 14%, saw its average handle increase by 14.6% in 2012. The wager, which is offered on the first five races daily, had an average daily handle of more than $230,000. “The wagering public continued to respond well to the lower takeout of the Players’ Pick 5,’’ said Liebau. Betfair Hollywood Park will open its 2012 Autumn meet Thursday, Nov. 8. The season will continue through Sunday, Dec. 16.

JULY 7, 2012 Farmington, NM SunRay Park’s 42-day meet ended June 26 SunRay Park in Farmington ended its 42-day meet with a nine-race program on Tuesday, June 26. SunRay’s closing-day card featured the $90,000 San Juan County Commissioners Handicap, the meet’s richest race for open Thoroughbreds. Parnell Thomas’ Forest Mouse, a Kentucky-bred 4-year-old colt by the Forestry stallion Teton Forest, won the 1 1/8mile race for his second career stakes victory at the track. Last year, Forest Mouse scored a three-length victory in the

1-mile, $50,000 SunRay Park and Casino Handicap. According to statistics compiled from Equibase charts, SunRay Park drew total on-track attendance of 46,368 fans – an average of 1,104 per day – including a season-high crowd of 4,662 on Kentucky Derby Day, May 5. Also, a total of $4,585,299 was wagered on SunRay’s live racing – $787,089 on track and $3,798,210 off track. On-track handle averaged $18,740 per day, while off-track wagering averaged $90,434 per day. The largest off-track wagering activity on SunRay Park’s live races took place on Tuesdays, as 35 percent of the track’s off-track handle was bet that day. The average offtrack handle on Tuesdays was $134,073, including a seasonhigh $173,323 on May 1. Starting May 8, SunRay cut its daily races from 11 to nine for the remainder of the meet. The adjustment to the racing schedule was due to the presence of the nearby Northern Edge Casino on the Navajo reservation, which opened for business in January and had a negative effect on business at SunRay’s casino. “We kept field sizes up, and even with cutting the number of races we kept purses up in the long run,” said SunRay director of racing Lonnie Barber. “That was a positive for everyone involved.” Total purses during the meet averaged $131,000 per day. Justin Evans was SunRay’s leading Thoroughbred trainer for the second consecutive season. Evans won 36 races from 156 starts, six more than runner-up Henry Dominguez. Evans won the same number of races, but from 125 starters, when he won the track’s training title in 2011.

“It’s been the same the last two years,” Evans said. “A lot of the credit goes to Tom and Sandy McKenna of McKenna Thoroughbreds. They let me bring a nice bunch of horses up here, both New Mexicobreds and open, and they let me run them where they could win. “We also won a lot of races for Dreammakers Unlimited,” he added. “We brought some better horses, and it paid off this year.” Ry Eikleberry was SunRay’s leading Thoroughbred jockey with 42 wins in 225 mounts, two more than runner-up Alfredo Juarez Jr. Dreammakers Unlimited LLP led all Thoroughbred owners with seven wins from 22 starters, ,two more than runners-up Judge Lanier Racing and J. Kirk and Judy Robison. Residents of El Paso, Texas, the Robisons were the meet’s leading owners in purses, as their 24 starters banked $102,269.

JULY 29, 2012 Del Mar, CA Amazombie wins Bing Crosby Stakes Amazombie, the classy six-year-old California-bred gelding, showed again why he was America’s champion sprinter of 2011 with a scintillating victory Sunday in the featured Grade I $300,000 Bing Crosby Stakes. Given a perfect stalking trip by his regular rider, Mike Smith, Amazombie, the second choice at 9-5, rallied to the lead in deep stretch and drew out to win by 1 ¼ lengths in a sparkling 1:08.65, fastest six furlongs of the meeting over Del Mar’s Polytrack surface. Amazombie, co-owned by Tom Sanford and trainer Bill Spawr, broke alertly from his inside post position, settled into third behind dueling leaders The Factor and Comma to the Top down the backstretch, came out to launch his move into the stretch and was a convincing winner. The Factor, the even-money favorite, was second, a head in front of stablemate Capital Account, with Comma to the Top fourth and Don Tito fifth and last in the small field. Amazombie, a son of Northern Aﬂeet, was third in the Bing Crosby a year ago behind Euroears before taking the Ancient Title at Santa Anita and then the Breeders’ Cup Sprint to clinch the Eclipse Award. Tentative plans call for the horse to follow the same schedule this year. Victory in the Crosby Stakes Sunday was Amazombie’s 12th in 27 lifetime starts and first money increased his earnings to $1,905,378. He returned $5.80, $2.60 and $2.10. The Factor, Del Mar’s

of Walk Thru Fire, raced the 350-yards in :17.527 for her third-straight win and first stakes victory. Secretly Hot won her maiden for trainer Francisco Ranirez in her second career start and then stepped up with a one-half length win in her Governor’s Cup Futurity trial in a quick :17.665. Double Bar S Ranch’s Beg Stel Or Borrow, trained by Joe Bassett, finish a very close second and is still a maiden after four starts.

Twelve Stepper

He covered the distance in :19.489 with G.R. Carter Jr. up for trainer Cody Joiner. Ima Chickie Two finished second by a head over Kindly Fellow. Terrific Synergy was a force as a juvenile when he was the only horse to qualify for the Ed Burke Million, Golden State Million and the Los Alamitos Two Million.

He won by more than two lengths with the fastest-qualifying time of :19.584. The top-two favorites battled in the Spencer Childers California Breeders Championship with Juan Jumberto Moya’s Twelve Stepper gaining the nose decision over Salvador Veliz’s Creston Goer.

The other wins during this span came against high-priced

claiming company and he was second in the Independence Day Handicap in his previous start. Salvador Veliz’s Creston Goer, winner of five races from 11 starts, earned favoritism after winning the Kaweah Bar Handicap in his previous start back in April. He also won a conditioned allowance race in February and is now three-forthree this year. Creston Goer was ridden by Cruz Mendez. In the $50,000 California Breeders Matron Stakes for distaffers at 400 yards, Steve Burns’ homebred Enjoy The Walk scored the upset at nearly 10-1 odds with a one-half

length win over 16-1 outsider Sheza Shy Shahayla. Getit Together was just a nose back for third. The Saul Ramirez Jr. piloted Enjoy The Walk raced the 400-yards in :19.970 for trainer Michael Casselman.

RACE RECAPS Jockey Lori Keith, currently third in Canterbury’s rider standings, was equally excited following the biggest victory of her career but wasn’t certain she would survive the inquiry and objection. “I’m not sure what [Hammers Terror] reacted to at the wire. I knew that they were going to take a long look at it due to how dramatic it appeared. He’s a great horse, easy to ride, and onceI knew they were going to keep my number up, I was thrilled.” Keith said. With a total purse of $161,250, the Mystic Lake Derby was the richest race run at Canterbury Park since it re-opened under new management in 1995 and the largest purse in Minnesota racingsince the 1991 Minnesota Derby (previously named the St. Paul Derby) was contested for $250,000. Hammers Terror, a 3-year-old colt bred in Kentucky by Chad Austin Reed, earned $96,750 for the victory pushing his lifetime earnings to $261,053.

Delegation returned $4.60 place and Take Heart, a local hopeful from the barn of Mac Robertson, returned$4.60 to show. Gung Ho, sent off as the 9/5 favorite, finished last. The Mystic Lake Derby was the first significant co-promotional event since the historic $83.5 million cooperative marketing and purse enhancement agreement was reached on June 6 between Canterbury Park and the Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Community which owns and operates Mystic Lake Casino Hotel. The Mystic Lake Purse Enhancement Fund contributed$100,000 to the purse of the Mystic Lake Derby. On a whole, purses this season increased by 35 percent at Canterbury Park since the

agreement was approved by the Minnesota Racing Commission and will more than double when the purse enhancementsare fully implemented over the next decade. “The inaugural Mystic Lake Derby was a tremendous success and is an excellent example of what this cooperative agreement will do for racing,” Canterbury Park President Randy Sampson said.“ This is the most significant race in Minnesota in over two decades and we anticipate it will continue to improve over time. I would like to congratulate the connections on the victory; we look forward to seeing more great races like this over the coming decade.” Earlier in the afternoon, the leadership of the Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Community, the Canterbury Park Board of Directors and invited guests unveiled the Mystic Lake Derby trophy whichwill be housed permanently at the Shakopee race track.
