Noel Prieto’s Brace For Bernal, overlooked at 32-1, ran a strong race from the inside post position for second while RC Had To be My Day finished third, one-half length behind Brace For Bernal. Heroes Heart, racing for local trainer Charlton Hunt, pushed her record to three-for-three at Prairie Meadows after being winless from two starts at Remington Park. The Valiant Hero filly won her John Deere Prairie Meadows Juvenile Challenge trial in her local debut and then stepped forward to take the finals by one-half length as the 5-2 favorite. She was timed in :17.621 for that win. Brace For Bernal is a horse to keep an eye on in future races, especially at this level. The Luis Villafranco-trained son of Furyofthewind came to Prairie Meadows from Oklahoma where he was second in the Cherokee Stakes at Fair Meadows and then, in his most recent start, won the John Deere Will Rogers Juvenile Challenge. In the Grade 1, $125,000 Red Cell Distance Challenge Championship, Diane Heath’s All About Larry humbled the field while pulling away in the stretch and then being geared down to win by five-andone-quarter lengths and establish a new 870-yard track record. All About Larry raced the 870 yards in :44.581 with Sal Martinez aboard to erase the previous track record of :44.799 set by Stone E Motion. Steve Holt’s two-time champion distance horse De Passem Okey made a late run for second, however never got close to threatening All About Larry. Salvador Pimienta’s Emperor Valerian finished third. The John Stinebaugh-trained All About Larry is in the hunt for champion distance horse honors. Two starts before he won the Master Salls Handicap at Ruidoso Downs by eight-and-three-quarter lengths and then destroyed the field by nine lengths in the Red Cell Lone Star Park Distance Challenge. He also won the SunRay Park Marathon in May. De Passsem Okey, trained by Rodney Reed, won two 870-yard stakes last spring at Remington Park and was then soundly defeated by All About Larry in the Master
Salls when he finished fifth as the 3-2 favorite. He bounced back from that effort to go from gate-to-wire to win an allowance race at Will Rogers Downs. In the Grade 2, $200,000 Adequan Derby Challenge Championship, Junior’s Quarter Horses’ Ultimate Wave looked like a horse with a bright future after he pulled away to win as the 13-10 favorite under Esgar Ramirez. Ultimate Wave was timed in :19.563 for the one-and-three-quarter length win over a solid field. Mr Taka B was second by neck over a dead heat for third between Huckleberry Mojito and A Game Dame. Making just his fifth career start, Ultimate Wave got a sharp start out of the gate and raced with his rivals for about 200 yards. The Wave Carver son then showed he could become a premier member of his division when he pulled away for his third career win. Ultimate Wave made just one start at two — a fourth-place finish at Arapahoe Park — and came back this year to win each of his two starts at the track outside of Denver. He won his Adequan Arapahoe Park Derby Challenge trial and then stepped up a 4-5 odds to take the Adequan Arapahoe Park Derby Challenge by more than two lengths. Mr Taka B, a gelding by Feature Mr Jess, has always shown promise for trainer John Stinebaugh while racing in New Mexico. He had a close third-place run in the Sunland Winter Futurity and was third in the Adequan Ruidoso Downs Derby Challenge. In the $75,000 Pfizer Starter Allowance Challenge Championship for horses who have raced for a $5,000-claiming tag, Miguel Banuelos’ Senor Fish got his nose in front at the right time to win a very tight finish. Senor Fish, ridden by Jose Montoya, raced the 350 yards in :17.664 to win by a head over JA Sundance and it was a neck back to third-place runner Zoomfection. A 4-year-old gelding by Fishers Dash, Senor Fish won a pair of starter allowance races before his Pfizer Starter Allowance Challenge Championship win and now has six wins from eight 2012 starts.

In the $25,000 Markel Stakes for 2-year-olds at 350 yards, Gloria Myers’ Hastabealeader asserted himself in the final 100 yards to score his second stakes win of his first year of competition with a three-quarter-length decision. Craig Stein’s Pt Special Feature was second and Sergio Maldonado’s RC Straight Runaway was third in a tight photo for second. Hastabealeader was timed in :17.871. The Robert Don Johnson-trained gelding by Hasta Be Fast has been on the board in eight of nine starts. He raced to his other stakes win when he won a minor futurity at Canterbury Downs in August and raced in the Markel Stakes after finishing fourth in the John Deere Prairie Meadows Juvenile Challenge. In the $25,000 AQHA Members Stakes for older fillies and mares, Mary Louise Pursel and Terry Pursel’s Cruzin The Wagon got a quick start out of the gate under Stormy Smith and then went on to a one-half-length win over Dont Look Ethel. Cruzin The Wagon, the odds-on favorite, was timed in :19.758 for her sixth win from nine 2012 starts for trainer Brent Clay. Wave Corona finished third, more than two lengths behind Dont Look Ethel. A sophomore daughter of PYC Paint Your Wagon, Cruzin The Wagon won the Oklahoma Derby and the Jack Brooks Stakes at Remington Park back in the spring and was second in the Keokuk Stakes at Prairie Meadows earlier this fall. Matt Whitekiller’s Dont Look Ethel was the solid 3-2 second choice after winning her three previous starts, capped by the Prairie Meadows Bonus Challenge. In the $25,000 John Deere Stakes at 400 yards for 3-year-olds, Broken Arrow Farms’ The Sunday Assassin made a big late charge to run down Wave Goodbye Baby with a :19.809 time and win by onehalf length. Hugo Barron Sierra’s Wave Goodbye Baby maintained second by one-half length over Mr Corona Blue. The Sunday Assassin, a son of FDD
Dynasty, had been on the board in four of five starts this year and raced to his second win of the year in the John Deere. The Wayne Garner-trained gelding had been competing on the Oklahoma circuit and won a $25,000 optional-claiming race two starts ago. He was then third in the Adequan Will Rogers Derby Challenge. In the $25,000 Farnam Stakes for older horses at 440 yards, Larry Toombs’ Barackazoom repelled a bid by Mary Passmore Kirby’s Jesse In Town to win by a neck and break a streak of five-straight second-place finishes. High Rate Of Return was two lengths back in third. Barackazoom, 4-year-old gelding by Azoom, covered the quarter mile in :21.636 with Mark Luark aboard. The Amber Blair-trained Barackazoom had been on a runner-up roll with his second-place finishes including the Black Gold Derby and the Adequan Will Rogers Derby Challenge this fall at Will Rogers Downs. In the $25,000 Nutrena Starter Allowance at 350 yards, Oscar Andrade’s Lord Azoom under a vigorous ride Alejandro Luna pulled away to win by one length and secure his first win since taking a $16,000 allowance race back in June at Indiana Downs. Lord Azoom was timed in :17.745 for his third win from nine tries this year. The Ricardo Martinez-trained gelding also has three second-place finishes. Back in March at Los Alamitos he won for a $5,000 claiming tag and racing at that level made him eligible to compete in the Nutrena Starter Allowance. Zevo Powered finished second and Ima Rare Gambler finished third. In the $67,500 Terrace Hill Stakes Iris Cartelsbadnews won by 1 ¼ length. The 5-year-old gelding by Agouti earned his eighth career victory for breeder and owner Warren Garrels, taking the 400 yards in :19.686 under jockey Berkley Packer. Iris Cartelsbadnews extended his win streak to four with earnings of $181,328. Shake Em Streakin finished 2nd and Wheres Your Wagon came up 3rd.

Marr saddles three winners on richest state-bred card in the nation October 28, 2012 • Zia Park, Hobbs, NM
Z
ia Park contested 11 stakes races for New Mexico-breds worth a total of $1.9 million as part of the richest state-bred card in the nation on Sunday. Trainer Joel Marr won three of the New Mexico Cup races, including a race named for the greatest horse he had ever trained. Marr’s Iplaytricks was an 11-1 upset winner in the 1-mile, $170,360 New Mexico Cup Peppers Pride Championship for fillies and mares, a race named for the New Mexico-bred mare Marr had trained to a perfect 19-for-19 record. The trainer scored a one-two with On Down the Road and Cross Chris Run in the 1-mile, $180,480 New Mexico Cup Rocky Gulch Championship. And on a day full of upsets, Marr also saddled 23-1 longshot Attitude E Racer to win the $170,720 New Mexico Cup Sprint Championship. “Nothing will compare to Peppers Pride,” Marr said, “but this ranks right up there, especially when you’re not expecting it.” Following Peppers Pride’s second victory in the New Mexico Cup Fillies and Mares Stakes in 2008, the race was named in her honor. With the same breeder (Joe Allen), sire (Desert God) and trainer (Marr) as Pepper’s Pride, Iplaytricks and jockey Ken Tohill passed 1-5 favorite and defending champion Rose’s Desert in the homestretch for a one-length win. Despite Rose’s Desert’s formidable record of six wins in eight career starts coming into the race, Iplaytricks had defeated her once before in the Sydney Valentini Handicap at Sunland Park in February. “I’m not going to call it a real longshot because Iplaytricks was the last to beat Rose’s Desert,” Marr said. “She’s had some maturity problems, but she ran her race today and we got lucky and won.” Their head-to-head record is now 2-2. After scoring a 10-1 upset in the New Mexico Cup Rocky Gulch Championship with Cross Chris Run last year, Marr finished first and second this year as On Down the Road and jockey Ry Eikleberry overtook Cross Chris Run and jockey Tohill at the top of the stretch for a 1 3/4-length win. The Marr pair held off even-money favorite Smash Dancer, who
finished third. “That’s a good feeling because then you know you’re OK,” Marr said about the stretch duel between his stablemates. “Todd [Fincher’s] horse was looming. That scares you. We just had the jump on him.” In addition to Marr’s 23-1 longshot win with Attitude E Racer and jockey Tohill in the New Mexico Cup Sprint Championship, several other horses tested the limits of Zia Park’s tote board lights. The 35-1 maiden Dashin Ace won the 400-yard, $293,550 New Mexico Classic Futurity for 2-year-old Quarter Horses for replacement jockey Jose Montoya and trainer Michael Joiner. Even more surprising was 80-1 Midnightlowdown, who won the 6 furlong, $140,600 New Mexico Cup Championship for 3-year-olds as the longest shot in the field of 11 for jockey Duane Lee Sterling and trainer Gerald Marr, Joel’s father. Thermal won the 6 furlong, $140,000 New Mexico Cup Juvenile for 2-year-olds at 11-1, and his trainer, Todd Fincher, also finished third in the race with favorite Kiss My Hennessy and fourth with Rio El Diablo.
NM Cup 870 Championship, $140,240, 870 yards, 3-year-olds & up Kc Royal Flush (jockey Brian Theriot/ trainer Dominic Duree) snapped the six-race win streak of Rollickin Red (Casey Lambert/ Todd Fincher). At 7-1, Kc Royal Flush defeated 3-5 favorite Rollickin Red by a neck in 46.577 seconds. In the process, Kc Royal Flush also beat three horses that had previously finished ahead of him in a Zia allowance race this month. Namehimastreaker NM Cup QH Championship (RG1), $170,360, 440 yards, 3-year-olds & up Third time was the charm for 8-year-old Miracle Snow (G.R. Carter, Jr./Wesley Giles) as he won the Namehimastreaker in his third attempt in the race. Miracle Snow, the 5-2, second choice defeated 3-2 favorite Fury of the Storm (Esgar Ramirez/Jaime Dominguez) by a neck in 21.686 seconds. Fury of the Storm

t’s not every day that horses get better with age, but that was the case with Awesome Gem. Like a fine red wine, the striking chestnut uncorked some of his greatest stretch runs as he got longer in the tooth, his 2010 Grade I Hollywood Gold Cup victory as a 7-year-old arguably his most memorable. His veteran years led to an assault of Grade 3 classics such as the Lone Star Park Handicap, the Berkley Handicap and the Longacres Mile, a race on which he left an historic mark as runner-up in 2009, winner in 2011 and a luckless third on Aug. 19 this year, which proved to be his final appearance. Trainer Craig Dollase can hold his Awesome Gem, with Robby Albarado head up high knowing that Awesome Gem aboard, winning the Lone Star Park Handicap, closed out his illustrious career on a good May 30, 2011 note with no stone left unturned. Bought Photo by Reed Palmer Photography by West Point Thoroughbreds for $150,000 at the Barretts March 2-year-olds in Training Sale, the son of 1998 Breeders’ Cup Classic winner Awesome Again out of Piano, racked up earnings to the tune of $2,881,370 with 11 wins, 15 seconds and seven thirds in 52 starts. Awesome Gem had been expected to tackle the Ralph M. Hinds Pomona Handicap at Fairplex Park in September but it was not to be. “Over the years, I had always given him By Robert Geller little breaks to keep him fresh and competitive. He has always been a very, very sound horse. There was slight inflammation in his left front leg, the suspensory blew up a little bit and because of that we decided to stop on him.” At 9 years of age, Awesome Gem had done everything asked of him and more. Neither the ownership syndicate, managed by Terry Finley, nor his trainer can harbor any regrets. Their stable stalwart retired happy and sound. Craig is yet to feel any sense of void since he still attends to him every day. “We are letting him down slowly. He canters around the track twice a day and is comfortable in his stall. I’d like to think he will become a barn pony, in the same way a horse like Lava Man did. Hollywood Park has always been home to him.” So much so that on Nov. 24, Hollywood Park will be dedicating its race day to Awesome Gem whose half-length defeat of Rail Trip in the 2010 Hollywood Gold Cup ranks as a career highlight. The victory was a reflection of the guts and perseverance that the horse embodied, confirming a depth of talCraig Dollase, trainer of Awesome Gem ent that could catch any of the big boys off
What a
GEM!
guard. Richards Kid was a perfect example, placing third that day before his repeat win in the Grade 1 Pacific Classic at Del Mar that August; a race in which Awesome Gem was making steady gain until stopped in traffic in deep stretch. “You look at his races and you’ll notice he was always moving forward. A little luck in running could help but even after a setback in a race, he would build his momentum again. Awesome Gem was the type of horse that would raise his level to the opponents he was running against and would give you everything he had.” His wrangling as an 8-year-old with top older horse Game On Dude was further testament to his competitive spirit. In the spring of 2011 in the Grade 3 Lone Star Park Handicap, both he and Flat Out were left in his wake, then in the fall, Awesome Gem came within a stride and a half from catching ‘The Dude’ in the Grade 1 Goodwood Handicap. It was in the Pacific Northwest that summer that Awesome Gem turned in one of his most sizzling performances, overcoming the outside post-position and 122 pounds to down local legend Noosa Beach in the 76th running of the Longacres Mile. This was a race connections had been trying to win for some time, having experienced close calls with Tropic Storm, a gallant third in 2008 and Awesome Gem himself a game runner-up to Assessment in 2009. Two years on, the contrast was marked. His quick getaway from the gate not only reflected an ability to show speed but also the dexterity of regular rider David Flores. His deep knowledge of the horse remained a key ingredient to their ongoing success. Awesome Gem’s explosiveness from the quarter pole and sustained power down the stretch were undeniable that afternoon. West Point Thoroughbreds finally had their hands on the Longacres Mile trophy and northwest fans were left wondering how Craig Dollase and his team were able to produce an even better galloper at age 8 than the one they had seen at 6. “Taking the blinkers off of him was a big part of the equation. He did respond particularly well to the gear change. He really did get better with age. I would have to say that 1 mile was his pet distance. That’s another reason why we would keep coming back for the Longacres Mile. And don’t think he couldn’t show speed when he needed to.” From 5-1/2 furlongs on turf as a 3-yearold to the 1-3/4 miles of the 2010 Breeders’ Cup Marathon, Awesome Gem tried it all. Of his four Breeders’ Cup appearances, two in a Breeders’ Cup Classic (2007, 2009) and Continued on next page

the other in the (2008) Breeders’ Cup Mile (turf), it is easy to forget that as a 4-year-old, he closed into third place in the slop in the Classic at Monmouth behind Curlin and Hard Spun, outperforming his 28/1 odds. Yet, Awesome Gem had been running well all that season, even if it appeared that he was straddled with a serious case of second-itis. From July through September, his late-rallying style earned him a series of runner-up checks in Southern California with progressively narrower losses, beaten 1 length in the Grade 2 San Diego Handicap, a half-length in the Grade 1 Pacific Classic and merely a nose in the Grade 1 Goodwood Handicap. It was a pattern that appeared to balance out over the years, such that upon retiring, the combined total of his first- and secondplace finishes was 26, accounting for exactly half of his lifetime starts. Awesome Gem closed out his career as the highest-earning active racehorse in North America. Not surprisingly, he accumulated a huge fan base. “People would come and stop by the barn just to see him. He is such a lovable horse, gracious, not a mean bone in his body. People would come up to me and say, ‘Hey, aren’t you the guy who trains Awesome Gem?’ It was neat.” “We always knew he was well above average. The things that stood out for me straight away were his head carriage and his intelligence. They seem to go hand in hand. Awesome Gem was the poster child for head carriage. My dad (Wally) would call it the look of eagles.” Craig cannot speak highly enough of his father, who retired as a trainer himself a year ago, having enjoyed a star-studded career and is now based in Kentucky. The LA area has always been home to Craig, who has shown time and again that his solid foundation from an active racing family has enabled him to be a force on the circuit and within the industry at large.

At age 27, Craig trained Reraise to a slashing win in the 1998 Grade I Breeders’ Cup Sprint at Churchill Downs. Craig was the youngest trainer ever to win a Breeders’ Cup race at the time. Reraise went on to an Eclipse Award. In 2003, he prepared Elloluv to a game second for owner Paul Reddam in the Breeders’ Cup Ladies Classic to Adoration. This November, Craig is hoping that 2-year-old, Tree of Life, a son of Lionheart out of a Gulch mare, will be in the 1-mile gate for the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Turf. The youngster will need to bounce back from his unplaced effort in the Dixiana Breeders’ Futurity at Keeneland on Oct. 6, when closing late and tightened in the stretch. The colt, owned by West Point Thoroughbreds broke his maiden in style at Del Mar on Aug. 18, the day before Awesome Gem ran what turned out to be his swansong. As one racing chapter winds down, another develops, as is the nature of this business for owners and trainers. But few chapters run as long as that written by Awesome Gem, worthy of the accolades that class, honesty and longevity bring. “His are tough shoes to fill.” Awesome Gem hit the top three in the 22 following Graded Stakes races: Grade 1 First 07-10-10 Hollywood Gold Cup (Hollywood) Second 08-19-07 Pacific Classic (Del Mar) 09-29-07 Goodwood Handicap (Santa Anita) 07-25-09 Eddie Read (Del Mar) 10-01-11 Goodwood Handicap (Santa Anita) Third 10-27-07 Breeders’ Cup Classic (Monmouth Park) Grade 2 First 01-13-07 San Fernando BC (Santa Anita) 10-03-09 Hawthorne Gold Cup (Hawthorne)

Decline in number of stallions from 2011
The number of stallions declined 3.8 percent from the 1,935 reported at this time in 2011, and the number of mares bred fell 3 percent from the 36,504 reported at this time last year. RMB statistics for all reported stallions in 2012 are available through the Publications & Resources section of The Jockey Club’s website at jockeyclub.com. The number of stallions covering 100 or more mares increased from 84 in 2011 to 87 in 2012. These stallions accounted for a greater percentage of the total mares reported bred this year — 31.9 percent of all mares bred in 2012 versus 30.6 percent of all mares bred in 2011 as reported at this time last year. Further book size analysis shows a 1.1 percent increase in the number of mares bred to stallions with a book size of 100 or more in 2012 when compared to 2011 as reported at this time last year; a 14.4 percent increase in mares bred to stallions with a book size between 75 and 99; a 4.1 percent decline in mares bred to stallions with a book size between 50 and 74; an 10.6 percent decrease in mares bred to stallions with a book size between 25 and 49; and an 6.3 percent State/ Province
decline in mares bred to stallions with a book size fewer than 25. In 2012, Cape Blanco (IRE) led all stallions with 220 mares bred. Rounding out the top five were Scat Daddy, 217; Kitten’s Joy, 213; Uncle Mo, 211; and Wilburn, 169. Thoroughbred breeding activity in Kentucky traditionally leads North America. During 2012, Kentucky’s 224 reported stallions covered 15,361 mares, or 43.4 percent of all of the mares reported bred in North America. The number of mares bred to Kentucky stallions declined 2.2 percent against the 15,714 reported at this time last year. Of the top 10 states and provinces by number of mares reported bred in 2012, only Florida and New York stallions covered more mares in 2012 than in 2011, as reported at this time last year. The following table shows the top 10 states and provinces, ranked by number of mares reported bred in 2012 through Oct. 14:

Inglewood, CA Former BHP marketing exec Christian dies at 42 Claudene Christian, a former marketing executive at Betfair Hollywood Park, died Monday
after the sinking of the HMS Tall Ship Bounty – as a result of Hurricane Sandy – off the coast of North Carolina. A former Miss Teen Alaska, a graduate of USC and a song girl for the school, Christian, 42, was found unresponsive by the United States Coast Guard and was later pronounced dead at a North Carolina hospital. “She was always bubbly and energetic, so full of life,’’ said George Ortuzar, the current promotions manager – a job once held by Christian – at Betfair Hollywood Park who worked with her and remained in contact. “She loved horse racing and was one of the people who helped start the Railbird Club (which remains a popular Sunday feature for handicappers and workout watchers during the Spring/Summer and Autumn meets). “She was so happy to be on the ship. She texted me all the time and let me know how excited she was about all the different places they were going.’’ Christian began working on the Bounty, which is a replica ship of the “Mutiny on the Bounty’’ vessel, in May. According to her Facebook page, she was a descendant of Fletcher Christian, who was portrayed by Errol Flynn, Clark Gable, Marlon Brando and Mel Gibson in various films. “I live, work and travel the sea aboard the HMS Tall Ship Bounty,’’ Christian wrote on her Facebook page. “A sailing museum traveling from port to port sharing our ship and our history.’’ An accomplished singer, Christian was also the owner and founder of the Cheerleader Doll Company, which manufactured exacta replica of college cheerleader dolls for more than 100 of the country’s top universities.

It felt like I was riding in a million dollar race,” said Berry. “I’m amazed that I could go this far, I’ve been lucky and never have been hurt too bad. I didn’t do too well in the early days so I want to thank all those who stuck behind me. I guess you might say I’m a slow learner,” Berry said with a grin. In 2011 Berry was inducted into the Oklahoma Horse Racing Hall of Fame. He is also the alltime leading rider at Lone Star Park and won the riding title at Oaklawn Park in 2011 and 2012.

Race Park, the John B. Connally Turf Cup was awarded Grade III status in 2006, the first Thoroughbred graded stakes since Sam Houston Race Park opened in 1994. Contested on the highly acclaimed Connally turf course, the nine-furlong stakes has attracted some of the nation’s premier grass specialists trained by top conditioners including Bill Mott, Steve Asmussen, Graham Motion, Mike Maker, Elliott Walden and Hal Wiggins. In celebration of this historic day in racing, Sam Houston Race Park will offer owners an added incentive: the all new Ship Assist Program. The program was created to encourage owners shipping a horse for the Houston Ladies Classic to also consider shipping horses for the Connally Turf Cup, Champion Energy Services and Allen’s Landing stakes races. For any owner starting a Filly or Mare in the Houston Ladies’ Classic and at least one additional horse in one of the accompanying stakes races, Sam Houston Race Park will waive the owner’s original pre-entry fee or $2,000 of the $10,000 supplemental nomination fee. “We understand the financial considerations owners have to make every day so we are pleased to provide special assistance for this exceptional day of racing in Texas,” said Eric Johnston, Sam Houston Race Park’s vice president of racing. Promotions for the January 26 racing festival will be plentiful, including a fund raising event to benefit for the Houston affiliate of the Susan G. Komen For the Cure®. Since 1982, Komen has led the way in the fight against breast cancer.

Higgins, Ed.D., Komen Houston Executive Director. “We look forward to everyone coming out to enjoy the races and support Susan G.
Komen for the Cure Houston in our efforts to provide community funding for breast cancer research, education screening and treatment.

These 11 trainers have certain appeal rights governed by the racing jurisdictions who issued the disciplinary actions. AQHA will continue to monitor the cases and has taken its action pending the final outcome of the cases. Over the next several weeks there will be important racing industry meetings that will bring together the national associations to discuss ways to further strengthen rules, policies and plans to move forward with reformed racing rules. AQHA also will continue to work with all racing jurisdictions that participate in American Quarter Horse racing to develop a database for our Members to have access and to communicate about rulings and where AQHA might be able to offer assistance. “The vast majority of our members love and enjoy spending time with their horses. They want the drug issue cleaned up, and AQHA is dedicated to using the resources we have available to make sure this happens. The statements made over the last several months by tracks such as Los Alamitos, Ruidoso Downs, Remington Park and actions taken by racing jurisdictions such as California, New Mexico and Louisiana show that progress is being made. We applaud them and others for their efforts in addressing these issues, and encourage all racing jurisdictions to reciprocate and recognize rulings from other jurisdictions” said Don Treadway, AQHA Executive Vice President.

OCT 28, 2012 Los Alamitos Race Course, Cypress, CA Chivalry SR surprises in Los Al Championship
Stern Ranches’ homebred Chivalry SR made the Grade 1, $750,000 Champion Of Champions a more intriguing race and probably inspired major changes in the weekly AQHAracing/ Horseplayernow.com national poll when he upset second-place finisher El Aguila Real and thirdplace finisher Cold Cash 123 in the Grade 1, $150,000 Los Alamitos Championship on Sunday night at Los Alamitos. Chivalry SR, at nearly 7-1 odds, broke cleanly from the inside post position and was on the lead for the entire race while covering the 440 yards in :21.519. He is the 400-yard track record holder at :19.067, set in the 2011 Spencer Childers California Breeders Championship. Making his first start for trainer Jose Antonio Flores, Chivalry SR finished a head in front of El Aguila Real and reigning world champion Cold Cash 123, the 2-5 favorite, was only a neck back for third in the tight finish. El Aguila Real and Cold Cash 123 each have their Champion Of Champions invitations by virtue in wins in qualifying races earlier this year. Chivalry Sr now joins them in the 440-yard classic and those three horses could be the top-three choices. Chivalry SR is always dangerous at the grade 1 level when he is in peak form and he has been lightly campaigned this year after surgery. “I thought he did extremely well last year because he ran in seven stakes races and was first, second or third in everyone of those races,” said owner Albert Stern. “He also set a track record and after such a busy campaign he had minor clean up surgery. Dr. Wayne McIlwraith performed the surgery. We also did stem cell surgery in his knee.
Chivalry SR
“He probably needed the race in the Go Man Go. We didn’t have any social plans for December 15 so we’ll be here for the Champion of Champions.” Chivalry SR came off a ninemonth layoff, including the surgery, to finish sixth in the Grade 1, $100,000 Go Man Go behind Cold Cash 123 in the Go Man Go Handicap. It was a stellar year for Chivalry SR in 2011 when he banked $206,388 of his career earnings of $437,116, including the $145,500 he earned in the Los Alamitos Championship. In addition to his track-record setting win in the Childers, the gelding was second in the Vessels Maturity and the Go Man Go, and third in the Champion Of Champions and the Los Alamitos Championship. Javier Molina’s El Aguila Real, a gelding by Corona Czech, broke a three-race winning streak with his close secondplace effort. The Francisco Vallejo-trained started his streak when he won the Grade 1, $228,000 Los Alamitos Winter Championship in February and took the Grade 1, $200,000 Vessels Maturity in his previous out. He scored his first Grade 1 win in the 2011 Southern California Derby for trainer Vince Smith. T. Bill Stables’ homebred Cold Cash 123 ended a six-race winning streak with the latest
five of those victories coming in Grade 1 races. His previous loss came in last year’s Grade 1, $1.3 million All American Derby when he hesitated at the start and was never able to gain contention, finishing seventh. Cold Cash 123’s Grade 1 streak stretched over four tracks and comprised the Texas Classic Derby, The Championship at Sunland Park, Leo Stakes, Remington Park Championship and the Go Man Go Handicap. He raced for trainer Sleepy Gilbreath before he joined the Denny Ekins barn this fall for his Los Alamitos campaign. Last year’s world champion, champion three-year-old and champion three-year-old gelding, Cold Cash 123 has earned $1,255,281 with 12 wins from 18 starts. He has nine wins from 11 starts at 440 yards.

$100,000 Autumn Miss Stakes, all of Saturday – his lone engagement, due to a three-day riding suspension. And, due to the fact the Autumn Miss is classified as a designated race by track stewards, the Peruvian native made the best of his lone opportunity this week, booting home 2-1 favorite Lady Ten, while holding off a furious rally from 9-1 shot Customer Base and Garrett Gomez, to win by neck, getting the Autumn Miss distance in 1:34.95. “This filly is very nice to ride, and easy to ride,” said Bejarano. “She likes to be close to the lead so I was a little worried in the beginning. She broke good from the gate but I knew there would be a lot of speed so I tried to make sure to give her help from the gate so she could find a position in the race. “When I got my position at the first turn I just tried to hold her a little bit, then let her run when we hit the top of the stretch…I was waiting for Garrett’s horse late because I knew his filly would be the only one running at the end…It ended up perfect for my filly.” Lady Ten, a Kentucky-bred filly by Rock Hard Ten, has had considerable success with Bejarano up, as he is now three for four when paired with the Mercedes Stable homebred. Lady Ten sat second to 26-1 shot Viva Carina, tracking
fractions of 23.19, 47.55, 1:11.55, and took the lead at the top of the stretch, stopping the sevenfurlong timer in 1:23.24. Lady Ten paid $6.80, $4.20 and $2.80. With the winner’s share of $60,000, Lady Ten extended her bankroll to $246,244, from an overall record of 11-4-5-2. Customer Base, who broke from the outside post in the 10-horse Autumn Miss, broke alertly, but was taken in hand early and was just two-wide around the Club House turn. Gomez bided his time to the far turn and asked his filly for her best mid way on the turn. “I just couldn’t get to the winner in time,” said Gomez. “I waited and waited, then weaved through some traffic, and when I turned for home and swung out, she went after the leader but I just ran out of time.” Customer Base finished 1 ¼ lengths in front of Charm the Maker and paid $8.60 and $4.80. Charm the Maker, off at 5-1 with Brice Blanc aboard, made a run through the lane and was third-best, returning $4.00 while finishing a half-length in front of Viva Carina.
Golden Gate Fields, Berkeley, CA Miss Empire fights back to win Pike Place Dancer Southern California ship-
per Miss Empire, the 1-2 favorite ridden by Russell Baze, won a stretch-long battle with 10-1 Butterfly Soul to capture the $100,000 Pike Place Dancer Stakes by a neck at Golden Gate Fields. Miss Empire fought back after losing the lead to Butterfly Soul to earn her second career stakes victory. Making her first start on turf in the one-mile feature for 2-year-old fillies, Miss Empire clocked a time of 1:38.84 on a rain-dampened course rated “good” and paid $3.00 to her throng of backers. “The turf was a little soft and she was bobbling on it,” said Baze. “If she had gotten a better hold of the turf, I don’t think they would have gotten to her. As soon as that horse (Butterfly Soul) came up to her she dug back in, but it took her awhile to get her momentum and get going. Toward the end, she switched back to her left lead and was able to accelerate past the other horse. I think she has a promising future.” Butterfly Soul was ridden by Dennis Carr, who returned to Golden Gate Fields for the fall meeting after spending the past few years in New York. Carr finished second to Baze in the jockey standings at 10 major meetings in Northern California during two previous stays in the area. “Just like old times,” said Carr

While keeping a good position in the backstretch of the 6-1/2 furlong stakes race for 2-year-old fillies, American Sugar was full of run entering the lone turn. In order to keep her momentum rolling, Birzer placed American Sugar four-wide as she quickly moved past her foes and had the lead at the top of the stretch. American Sugar bettered the pace-setting Kentucky Gem but was unable to get much breathing room as Cat Five’ O came after her throughout the stretch run. American Sugar found the finish just in time to hold on, covering the distance in 1:17.44 over the fast track. Kentucky Gem held third after setting the early fractions of :22.08 for the quartermile and :45.70 for the half-mile.

Butterfly Soul, based in Northern California and trained by Genaro Vallejo, was also making her first start on turf and greatly pleased Carr with her effort. “My filly ran huge,” said Carr. “First time on grass, you couldn’t ask for anything more. Hopefully she’ll have a future on it (turf). She got a hair bit tired but Russell’s filly dug in. She made the favorite work hard.” Miss Empire, a Kentuckybred daughter of Empire Maker, is trained by Peter Miller and owned in partnership by Gary and Cecil Barber and Kevin Tsujihara.

All American Futurity winner One Dashing Eagle probably already had the champion twoyear-old title secured before the Golden State Million trials and he probably converted any possible disbelievers with an overwhelming performance in the 11 trials to the $1,118,000 Golden State Million trial on Sunday night at Los Alamitos. The certain overwhelm-

ing favorite in the November 4 futurity, One Dashing Eagle put on a spectacular show in the seventh trial. Bingo raced to the then fastest time of :19.708 for 400 yards in the previous trial and then One Dashing Eagle made that time look pedestrian when he won his trial in :19.482 while jockey Ramon Sanchez was aboard for the trip down the Los Alamitos straightaway. By comparison, reigning world champion Cold Cash 123, a four-year-old, won the Grade 1, $100,000 Go Man Go Handicap in :19.511 last month while under a hold by jockey Roy Baldillez. Bingo’s time held up as the second-fastest qualifying mark. One Dashing Eagle got a competitive start and then blew up the trial while drawing away to the two-and-one-half-length win as the 1-9 favorite. “It seems as if every time he runs it’s a bigger and better surprise,” said trainer De La Torre. “He broke in a little bit at the start of his trial, but other than that he was perfect. My heartbeat was going at 20,000 beats per minute watching him out there on the track. It’s hard to describe how incredible we are feeling right now.” Owned by trainer Jose De La Torre, Gustavo De La Torre and San Gregorio Racing Stable, One Dashing Eagle will be favored to win his third million-dollar futurity in the Golden State Mil-
lion, The son of highly successful freshman sire One Famous Eagle won the Grade 1, $1 million Ed Burke Futurity in June and then shipped to Ruidoso Downs for the All American Futurity because he was not eligible to compete in the Los Alamitos Two Million, a race without a time-ofentry supplemental payment. If there would have been a supplemental payment, his connections have said he probably would have stayed in California to shoot at the $1 million Los Alamitos Cash Bonanza that would goes the to winner of the Ed Burke Million, Golden State Million and the Los Alamitos Two Million. That lack of eligibility to the Los Alamitos Two Million proved fortuitous at Ruidoso Downs this summer. The striking colt worked to a neck win over qualifier Sudden Thoughts in their All American Futurity trial and then stepped up with an impressive three-quarter-length win over Sudden Thoughts in the Grade 1, $2.4 million All American Futurity, the world’s richest quarter horse race, at 440 yards. One Dashing Eagle goes into the Golden State Million with five wins from six starts and earnings of $1,628,405. His sole setback came in his career debut when he was second in a Los Alamitos maiden race back in April. The Golden State Million will be the final start of his juvenile season.
Joining One Dashing Eagle and Bingo in the Golden State Million are Amore La Blue (:19.713), Fires Blazin (19.785), Watch Linda Ballet, (:19.801), Henoshersecret (:19.806), Tres Coronas Mas (:19.817), Separate Interest (:19.817) and Scoop Of Sunshine (:19.820).
OCT 20, 2012 Golden Gate Fields, Berkeley, CA Halo Dolly bounces back with victory in Miss America Stakes
Halo Dolly bounced back from her rough road trip to New York by scoring an authoritative victory in the $64,300 Miss America Stakes at Golden Gate Fields. Halo Dolly, who finished last in the Grade 1 Flower Bowl Invitational Handicap at Belmont Park on Sept. 29, came back in just three weeks to win the Miss America by 1 3/4 lengths over 41-1 longshot Sweetly Peppered. Ridden by Russell Baze, Halo Dolly completed 1 1/16 miles on the Lakeside Turf Course in 1:44.72 while recording her fifth stakes victory of the year and the seventh of her career. Halo Dolly is trained by Jerry Hollendorfer, who wanted his filly to get over her trouncing at Belmont Park as soon as possible. “She was acting real well, SureBet RacingNews.com, Inc. • November 2012 • Vol. 6 No. 58 63

so I decided to try to get a race where she could win and get that last one off her mind,” said Hollendorfer. “She’s been running against better horses so I thought she had a good chance and she came through for us.” Halo Dolly, who scored the biggest win of her career in the Grade 2 Yellow Ribbon Stakes at Del Mar on Sept. 3, went off as a heavy 4-5 favorite in the Miss America and paid $3.80. “She looked like the best horse in here and I figured if I give her any kind of decent trip she should win,” said Baze. “She’s a classy filly. She’s got enough speed to put herself in a good spot.” Halo Dolly tracked longshot pacesetter Triveni to the far turn, charged to the lead turning for home and then held her rivals safe to the wire. Halo Dolly banked $39,500 for the victory – her 14th win in 24 career starts – and the payday increased her earnings to $666,896. Racing continues at Golden Gate Fields Sunday.

Will Rogers Downs, Claremore, OK Just Wannabe Postoak upsets Cherokee Challenge
Noel Lopez Prietos Just Wannabe Postoak, sent off at 30-1 odds, held safe Tel A Story to race to a neck win in the $52,400 Cherokee Challenge at Will Rogers Downs. Just Wannabe Postoak, with James Flores aboard for his third win of the day, was racing with the leaders when he surged at the halfway mark of the 300-yard stakes and then held off a late bid of Tel Story to win with a :15.332 time. Chics Delight was right there at the finish, just a neck behind Tel A Story. The Luis Villafranco-trained Just Wannabe Postoak was totally overlooked after finishing off the board in his six previous starts. The last time the Royal Blue Chew Chew gelding was on the board was when he was placed third in The Signature Stakes last December at Hialeah Park.
James Sills’ homebred Tel A Story won a pair of allowance races at Will Rogers Downs before finishing second in the Cherokee Challenge. Tina and Dale Kolb’s Chics Delight came off a third-place run in the Charlie Claborn Stakes at Will Rogers. She was third in the Merial Remington Park Distaff Challenge this spring.
Los Alamitos Race Park, Cypress, CA Checkspeed fastest in Wild West
J.P. Sample ad Emily Lawrence’s Checkspeed showed who was the best horse in the $113,900 Wild West Futurity with an easy win over rival and oddson favorite Marargitas N Coronas at Los Alamitos. Checkspeed raced the 350 yards in :17.377 to win the race for juveniles who have raced in the northwest. Gregorio Arriaga’s Checkspeed got off in an excellent start and had the race in his control by the halfway mark. He steadily pulled away for the three-quarter length win at 9-2 odds. “He broke super fast and in no time we were well ahead of the field,” Arriaga said. Robert Hickman’s Margaritas N Coronas, the 7-10 favorite, was second, a head in front of Dynasty Red.
A gelded son of Check Him Out, Checkspeed won his maiden with the Wild West victory after finishing second in his two previous Los Alamitos starts, each behind Margaritas N Coronas. In his first start at Los Alamitos he was defeated by a head in The Plan Handicap as the 5-2 favorite and then was second by three quarters of a length in his Wild West Futurity in 2-1 odds. He was the third-fastest qualifier to the Wild West Futurity with a :17.687 mark. The Bret Vickery-trained Margaritas N Coronas, a gelding by Corona Czech, won two races in his first six starts before coming to Los Alamitos to point at the Wild West Futurity. He was then spotless in his two Los Alamitos starts while defeating Checkspeed before the Wild West Futurity.

Broken Dreams
Turf Paradise. Lewiston covered the six furlongs in 1:11.28 for the threequarter-length win after a game trip. The Adolfo Morales-ridden Lewiston gained the lead on the turn and then fought gamely between rivals through the stretch before asserting himself for his second win from three career starts. He was overlooked in the wagering despite taking a maiden-optional claimer in his only start over the Turf Paradise track. Gadsden Purchase, owned by trainer Doug Oliver with Wayne Wiseman and Dave Marshall, was second as the 3-10 favorite after winning the spring ATBA Stakes. Mark Breen’s Storm Driver was another five-and-one-half length back for third after racing six-wide into the turn. The Kevin Eikleberry-trained colt had one maiden win in his career debut from three previous starts. Youbetshewon was pushed down the backstretch in the filly division and then established her superiority on the turn and entered the stretch with a two-length advantage. She then humbled her rivals while pulling away to win by more than seven lengths. She has shown her affection for the Turf Paradise surface last spring when she won her first two outs before finishing second

OCT 19, 2012 Remington Park, Oklahoma City, OK Fifth Date wins Classics Cup; She’s All In continues Distaff streak
The 20th Oklahoma Classics were contested Friday night at Remington Park. The full slate of Oklahoma-bred stakes races did not disappoint with a mix of favorites and stars winning along with a few longshots. Fifth Date, an 8-year-old gelding who primarily has competed in sprint races his entire career, scored the top race of the evening in the $155,500 Chickasaw Nation Oklahoma Classics Cup, powered by TVG. Easily the biggest win for Fifth Date, it happened just two races after he was claimed for $18,000. SureBet RacingNews.com, Inc. • November 2012 • Vol. 6 No. 58 67

RACE RECAPS Claimed by owner Danny Caldwell of Poteau, Okla. on Aug. 25, trainer Federico Villafranco started Fifth Date in a 1 mile-70 yard event for his first race off the purchase. The stretch-out move off of sprints helped build his stamina for the 1-1/16 miles Classics Cup. The claim was made with the big race on Classics Night in mind. “When I claimed the horse I was kind of aiming for this race,” Caldwell said. “We didn’t really know if he could get the distance so Alex and I talked about getting him to relax and he did a great job.” Jockey Alex Birzer let Fifth Date rate in third for the first six furlongs of the race to save some run for the stretch. The tactic worked to perfection as he had plenty left to pull clear to a 2-1/2 length victory at 20-1 odds. “Normally this horse always goes to the lead I thought it was a pretty good idea to try and get him back today,” Birzer said. “He had a good trip and sat about three or four wide. At the top of the lane we just stalked the leader and he ran a big race.”
Imahit took over the pace duties in the early backstretch of the race, leading by more than two lengths with a half-mile to go. Lucky Reward had the lead into the first turn to set the quarter-mile split :23.95 with the half-mile split in :47.30. Imahit continued up front for threequarters of a mile in 1:11.53 before tiring in the stretch. Fifth Date pounced on the leader with plenty in reserve, getting the mile in 1:37.08 and crossing the finish in 1:43.63 over the fast track. Imahit held second while Ted’s Folly charged from last to make third-place, 5-1/2 lengths behind the victor. Fifth Date paid $42.20 to win, $9.60 to place and $6.40 to show. Imahit, the beaten 7-5 favorite, returned $3.40 to place and $3.20 to show. Ted’s Folly paid $4.60 to show.

Supplemental payment worth Turf dividends for Ridge Road
Owner and trainer Boyd Caster of Jones, Okla. thought enough of his 4-year-old colt Ridge Road to give him a chance to run in the $127,780 Oklahoma Classics Turf, presented by Choctaw Nation. The belief cost Caster and upfront payment of $11,000 to make Ridge Road eligible for the Classics competition. While he tussled with the decision, Caster eventually put his money up to back his charge.” “I was pretty reluctant about spending the money to make this horse eligible for the Classics,” Caster recounted. “$11,000 is a lot of money on the come. The horse has been doing super, training super. We just took a shot and it paid off. I was hoping to run fourth to get

He gives you a 150% and that’s all you can ask for.” Jockey Lindey Wade put a gutty ride on Ridge Road in order to help get Caster’s investment to pay off. Moving well throughout the final turn after relaxing near the back of the pack for much of the first six furlongs of the mile race, Ridge Road had to move through a thin opening early in the stretch in order to succeed. “Around the turn I had a lot of pony and was just letting him creep up there and was looking for somewhere to go,” Wade said. “Finally the rail opened up and when he got the courage to go through there, he was gone, they weren’t going to catch him.” Ridge Road moved to the

After three career starts in maiden races this season Motivare had shown some promise but had yet to finish strongly enough to move on to the ranks of winners.

The John Hudson-leased Ride My Wagon had her nose extended at the right time to win a very tight three-horse photo in the Grade 3, $211,750 Valley Junction Futurity at Prairie Meadows. It was a stakes tripleheader at the Altoona, Iowa track with the Grade 3, $84,950 Altoona Derby and the $45,000 Two Rivers Stakes. Trainer Stacy Charette-Hill won the futurity and the derby with a pair of PYC Paint Your Wagon fillies. Ride My Wagon was a nostril ahead of HH Guns Drawn and it was a head back to third-place runner Her Painted Wagon. It was a close fight for the last half of the 350-yard futurity.

Ride My Wagon, the 3-1 favorite, came into the futurity as the fastest qualifier after winning her trial by one length with a :17.682 time. The improving filly won her third-straight race. Before her trial score, she took a non-winners-of-two-allowance race. Therefore, in her latest three starts, she won an allowance race, was the fastest qualifier to the Valley Junction and then gamely won the futurity. Bradley Hale and Wade Helton’s HH Guns Drawn ran a strong race for trainer Brent Clay. The third-place finisher behind Ride My Wagon in their trial as the 7-5 favorite, the Jess Louisiana Blue gelding won the Iowa Double Gold Futurity two starts ago.

Corona Mit Go won threestraight races before finishing third behind Eufaula Me in their derby trial. She started her winning streak with a maiden win in her sixth start. She then moved up allowance class levels for her next two wins. In the 440-yard Two Rivers Stakes for older horses, Warren Garrels’ Iris Cartelsbadnews gained a length advantage within 100 yards of the wire and easily maintained that lead to get the win in :21.748 under Berkley Packer. Hollywood Trickster was second and Mr Commando was a neck behind Hollywood trickster for third. The three outsiders combined for a $1,707.40 payoff for a two-dollar trifecta. Iris Cartelsbadnews, trained by Amy Wessels, was stepping up in class after an allowance win. The Agouti-sired gelding now has four wins from six starts this year and the Two Rivers was his first stakes win.
OCT 8, 2012 Santa Anita Race Course, Arcadia, CA Gervinho mounts furious stretch rally to win Zuma Beach as Breeders’ Cup beckons; Surfer Girl taken by Flashy Ways
California-bred Gervinho, who lost his footing momentarily approaching the quarter pole, launched a furious stretch rally under Rafael Bejarano to take the inaugural $100,000 Zuma Beach Stakes by one-half length, getting the one mile on turf in 1:34.59 and projecting himself as a likely starter in the $1 million Breeders’ Cup Juvenile (mile) Turf at Santa Anita on Nov. 3. A $49,000 Barretts October yearling purchase a year ago, Gervinho was dispatched as the even-money favorite and he validated his first-out maiden special weight win at Del Mar on Sept. 3 by stretching out to defeat a five rivals in his first try on turf. Owned by California Horse Racing Board Chairman Keith Brackpool and trained by Carla Gaines, Gervinho, as the son of Unusual Heat was shuffled near the back of the pack as he approached the quarter pole. “I thought he was going to go down,” said Bejarano. “He slipped and it threw me sideways, but he gave me a great kick SureBet RacingNews.com, Inc. • November 2012 • Vol. 6 No. 58 73
through the stretch.” Gervinho, named by Brackpool for the Ivorian soccer player who plays for Arsenal, Brackpool’s favorite soccer club in England, blew by Den’s Legacy and Garrett Gomez, who had stalked splits of 23.11, 46.62, 1:10.81 and 1:22.62 prior to taking the lead past the eighth-pole. “We’re going to seriously look at the Breeders’ Cup Turf,” said Brackpool following the Zuma Beach, which was run as the third race. “That was quite a (stretch) kick.” Brackpool also noted that today’s win had sentimental value. “The win was extra special for me today as it is my father’s 78th birthday. He (Brian Brackpool) got me interested in this sport and we have shared many great memories together. This just adds to the list of great memories. Horse racing does that!” With the Zuma Beach winner’s share of $60,000, Gervinho’s bankroll swelled to $102,000 as he remained unbeaten in his second start. The winner paid $4.20, $2.60 and $2.20. Den’s Legacy, who was a well beaten fifth in the Grade 1 FrontRunner Stakes on Sept. 29, did everything but hold off the winner, and finished 2 ¼ lengths in front of the pace-setting thirdplace finisher Dancin Upside Down, who was ridden by Juan Hernandez. Den’s Legacy paid $3.40 and $3.00. Dancin Upside Down returned $4.20 to show. While the Zuma Beach had a formful ending, the inaugural running of the $100,000 Surfer Girl Stakes for 2-year-old fillies at one mile on turf produced an upset, as Riley Racing Stables’ Flashy Ways won going away by 2 ½ lengths under Joe Talamo in 1:34.45.

Then turning for home I turned her out and had a lot of horse. She’s bred up and down for the turf on her dam’s side.” Talamo had also ridden Flashy Ways in her maiden $50,000 claiming score going 5 ½ furlongs on Polytrack Aug. 16 at Del Mar. “Richard has done a great job with her. She was fit and ready to go today. Again, I just had a perfect trip with a good horse underneath.” Flashy Ways paid $16.40, $6.20 and $5.20. Undefeated in two starts, Flashy Ways picked up $60,000 for her Surfer Girl win, extending her bankroll to $81,600. Runnerup Wishing Gate, who was the 2-1 post time favorite, settled next to last early, split horses in midstretch and finished strongly under Garrett Gomez but did not threaten the winner while finishing 1 ½ lengths in front of third-place finisher Somethingabouther and Victor Espinoza.

(The original lab report indicated Clenbuterol at 20 ng/ml or 20,000 pg/ml. Split sampling by
Texas A&M lab confirmed Clenbuterol at 34.1 (+/- 2.9 ng/ml) or 34,100 pg/ml (+/- 2,900 pg/ml). FRED IKE DANLEY is found to be in violation of: 15.2.6.9(C)(1) NMAC: Which states in pertinent part that “A finding by the official chemist of a prohibited drug, chemical or other substance in a test specimen of a horse is prima facie evidence that the prohibited drug, chemical or other substance was administered to the horse and, in the case of a post-race test, was present in the horse’s body while it was participating in a race (a) drugs or medications for which no acceptable levels have been established”. 15.2.6.9(K) NMAC: Which addresses in pertinent part the suspension of Authorized Medications as outlined in sections 1,2,3,&4, which led to a subsequent NMRC published, posted, and distributed memo effective April 20, 2012, in which states in pertinent part that “Clenbuterol in a post race sample that exceeds the screening limit of 100 pg/ml in urine will constitute a violation of New Mexico Racing Commission rules. 15.2.6.11(A) NMAC and 16.47.1.10(B)(1) NMAC: Which states in pertinent part that “The Trainer is the absolute insurer of the condition of horses entered in an official workout or race, and is responsible for the presence of any prohibited drug or medication, or other prohibited substance in such horse. A positive test for a prohibited drug or medication or other prohibited substance or the presence of permitted medication in excess of maximum allowable levels as reported by the commission approved laboratory is prima facie evidence of a violation of this rule. The Trainer is absolutely responsible regardless of the acts of third party.” For this violation, the Board of Stewards assessed FRED IKE DANLEY a penalty of the following: (1) A suspension of any/all NMRC held licenses for a period of six months (October 21, 2012 through April 21, 2013, inclusive); (2) A fine in the amount of one-thousand five hundred dollars ($1,500.00); (3) Loss of purse of the fourth race, Sunday, June 24 2012, at Ruidoso Downs. (Refer to related ruling #0081912). This is the first positive test violation in a 12-month period. The fine is to be paid on or before any reinstatement date in accordance with 15.2.3.8(B)(3)(1) NMAC. During said time of applicable suspension FRED IKE DANLEY is hereby excluded from all areas under the jurisdiction of the NMRC, in accordance with 15.2.3.8 (B)(3)(t) NMAC. Additionally, effective on applicable suspension dates, all horses owned or trained, or under the care of FRED IKE DANLEY are ineligible to be entered or start in any race in this jurisdiction, per 15.2.1.9 (C)(21) (a-b) NMAC. (This ruling was made in accordance with applicable NMAC rules effective at the time of this offense). By order of the Zia Park Board of Stewards.
