The Black Gold Championship is the ultimate race in the Black Gold program for participating stallions. Veteran Larry Payne guided Sumokin to the win in :19.808 for 400 yards. Katillac Man was a neck back for second with the stallion Country Chicks Man siring the top two finishers. Third-place runner Easydoesitcindy was another neck back as was the top finisher from six finalists from the Eddie Willis barn.

The gray filly qualified for the Grade 1 Remington Park Futurity and just two starts ago raced in the finals of the Grade 1 Dash For Cash Futurity. Gregory Cullum’s Katillac Man closed with a rush to finish second for trainer Frank Cooper. The runner-up finish kept his recent consistent record intact.

Texas tradition in racing and breeding
M
By Martha Claussen
alor Farm, located in Pilot Point, Texas, nestled in the rolling hills north of Dallas, has a revered reputation as one of the finest breeding establishments in the country. The history of Valor Farm begins with its owner, Clarence Scharbauer Jr., and his late wife, Dorothy Turner Scharbauer. Dorothy Scharbauer grew up in a racing family and had the thrill of watching her father, Fred Turner, win the 1959 Kentucky Derby with Tomy Lee. With the goal of winning another Kentucky Derby, the Scharbauers began buying Thoroughbred yearlings in 1984. In 1987, another dream came true when the legendary Alysheba, triumphed on the first Saturday in May. Enshrined in the Hall of Fame, Alysheba went on to win the Preakness Stakes and six additional Grade 1 stakes, including the 1988 Breeders’ Cup Classic. He won 11 of his 26 career starts, bankrolling $6,679,242. Scharbauer, a third-generation Texas horseman and rancher, was a partner in Oklahoma Stud, a breeding farm in Purcell, Okla. The group -- consisting of Dr. John Beall, DVM, World Champion Cowboy Louis Brooks Sr., racing insiders Joe L. and Joe F. Gary from Oklahoma and, Jack McReynolds, also of Oklahoma -purchased the farm in 1974. Scharbauer, a native Texan from Midland, was encouraged that pari-mutuel racing would be approved in Texas and wanted to find a property in the Lone Star State. Ken Carson, who graduated from Texas A&M, has been the longtime manager of Valor Farm. “Barry Wood of Oklahoma Stud spotted the land and made the recomendation to Mr. Scharbauer,” Carson said. The heavily wooded area was named “Pilot Point” for the proliferation of timberline trees that served as a landmark to travelers in Denton County. Plotted in 1853, Pilot Point, Texas, boasted lush greenery and hilly terrain. Scharbauer purchased 393 acres and, with Wood as the architect, the barns and 8 SureBet RacingNews.com, Inc. • November 15, 2011 • Vol. 5 No. 46
18 miles of fence were completed in just over two years. “Mr. Scharbauer is a Texan to the core,” Carson said. “He is so dedicated and has been for so long. He loves his horses and has always wanted the best, in his people, in the feed, in the general care for the animal.” Dorothy Scharbauer passed away in 2005, and is fondly remembered for her passion and love of horses. “Dorothy exuded class in every aspect of her life,” recalled Dave Hooper, executive director of the Texas Thoroughbred Association. “She was extremely well spoken, impeccably dressed, and loved her horses. Both she and Clarence were unmatched in their enthusiasm for owning and breeding racehorses.”
Precocious talent Many of the Valor Farms homebreds have done exceptionally well as 2-yearolds. Hadif One was the 1995 TTA Champion 2-year-old colt/ gelding. Gold Coyote was the recipient of the same award in 2007 as another earlymaturing Texas-bred juvenile. He won two stakes at Lone Star Coyote Legend, Bobby Walker Jr. up; Feb. 20, 2010, winning the Jim’s Orbit Stakes at Sam Houston Race Park Photo by Coady Photography
Park, crushing his rivals with a 10-length score in the $125,000 Staunch Avenger division of the Texas Stallion Stakes. Gold Coyote returned weeks later to win the $70,000 Middleground Breeders’ Cup Stakes against open company and was named Horse of the Meet at Lone Star. His sire, Gold Legend, produced another champion racehorse, Coyote Legend, who won the 2009 Groovy Stakes for 2-yearold Texas-breds and was honored as TTA Champion 3-year-old colt/gelding. The newest rising star in the Valor Farm camp is Sword Trick, a son of Early Flyer out of the Hadif mare, Hadif Cat. Scharbauer’s homebred Sword Trick, dominated the first two races of the 2011Texas Stallion Stakes Series. He recently stepped up to open company in the $100,000 Clever Trevor Stakes at Remington Park. Despite a fifth-place showing, he has won $136,800 and remains the current point leader in the TTA Champions Point Standing for top Texas-bred 2-year-old colt/

Sunland Park, NM ‘Gateway to Greatness’ Sunland Park’s prestige grows as live racing nears
By Ray Sanchez Horses and jockeys just keep adding to the prestige of Sunland Park Racetrack and Casino. Winning or even finishing in the money in a Breeders’ Cup race is quite a feat and another horse that ran at Sunland this year accomplished that feat last week. And he did it in the biggest Breeders’ Cup race of all. But wait. What, some of you less familiar with horse racing might ask, is the Breeders’ Cup? I like to refer to it as the World Championships of Thoroughbred horse racing. The best horses, both male and female, from throughout the country and beyond compete in different age groups and different distances to determine the best in each category. It’s such a big event it takes two days to hold all the races. Most of the races carry purses of from $1 million to $5 million and the possibilities of future earnings in breeding and other factors by doing well are endless. The biggest of the races is the Breeders’ Cup Classic at a mile and a quarter. That’s because it’s open to all 3-year-old and up Thoroughbreds regardless of age or sex. Only the mightiest of the mighty run in that one. There were 14 powerful entries in that race this year. It included Horse of the Year contender
Uncle Mo. Ruler on Ice, who finished third in the Sunland Derby last spring, dared to enter. And oh, what a race he ran. With a little racing luck, the youngster (3 years old) ridden by former Sunland jockey Garrett Gomez, might very well have won it. Ruler On Ice was kept on the rail, saving ground, through most of the race and when the horses hit the stretch he made his move. The rail seemed open but suddenly it closed and Ruler on Ice had nowhere to go. Gomez smartly moved him to his right but lost a precious fraction of a second in the process. There was little room but Ruler on Ice somehow squeezed through to finish a fighting third. Despite his long odds, Ruler on Ice finished ahead of 11 other great runners, including Uncle Mo, and returned $8.90 to show. The winner? It was another longshot and it was ridden by another jockey who got his start at Sunland. That was 4-year-old Drosselmeyer ridden by Mike Smith, who has also become one of the country’s greatest riders. Just this year, horses from Sunland have won the Belmont Stakes (Ruler on Ice), finished third in the Preakness (Astrology) and finished first in the Kentucky Oaks (Plum Pretty). And let’s not forget Sunland’s Mine That Bird winning the Kentucky Derby in 2009 or Island Fashion who after winning the Sunland Oaks in 2003 went on to win several Grade 1 races around the
country. Now Sunland has a thirdplace finisher in the biggest race of all, the Breeders’ Cup Classic. Jockeys like Gomez, Smith and even aging Pat Valenzuela are keeping the spirit of Sunland alive. And then there’s Jerry Bailey, who after a great riding career that started at Sunland, is now an analyst on national television. All of which brings to mind that the live horse racing season at Sunland Park Racetrack and Casino is less than a month away. Horsemen and horses are already moving into the area to prepare for the Dec. 6
opening. There will be racing on Tuesdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays through April 17. As usual, highlight of the season will be the $800,000 Grade 3 Sunland Derby on March 25. The track’s motto this year is “Gateway to Greatness.” Ruler On Ice has proven – again – that the track indeed deserves that designation.

1 Go Man Go Handicap after testing positive for Clenbuterol according to an official ruling (#235) of the Board of Stewards at Los Alamitos Race Course released on Friday, Nov. 11. Stewards George Slender, Albert Christensen and James Dreyer acted upon a report from the University of California Davis of an official testing of the blood and urine sample taken from Freaky immediately following the race. The ruling also orders that Freaky be disqualified from all purse monies earned in said race (the ninth race on Sept. 11) in accordance with the California Horse Racing Board Rule #1859.5 (disqualification upon positive test). All purse monies earned by Freaky’s owner, trainer and jockey in that race has been ordered to be returned to the paymaster of purses at Los Alamitos Race Course. The revised order of finish now makes Armando Leon’s Snitcher the new official first-place finisher of the Go Man Go. Snitcher won the Grade 1 Vessels Maturity earlier this year and has a berth to compete in this year’s $750,000 Champion of Champions. Stern Ranches’ Chivalry SR, who won the Spencer Childers California Breeders Championship Handicap earlier this year, is the new second-place finisher in the Go Man Go. El Primero Del Ano Derby winner PK Fire is the new third-place finisher while Los Alamitos Winter Championship winner Good Reason SA has been moved up from fifth to fourth place. Divide The Cash, Sparky E Boy, Shining First Dash, Pepe El Trueno and Astreakinson are now the official fifth- through ninthplace finishers in the race. The ruling does not affect the
pari-mutuel payoffs. For more info, please call 714-820-2690.

Opelousas, LA Field is set for $517,844 LQHBA Futurity at Evangeline Downs A talented and evenly matched field of nine is set to square off in the Grade 1 (Res) LQHBA Futurity, the richest race of the year with a purse of $517,844 at Evangeline Downs Racetrack and Casino on Saturday, Nov. 19. The LQHBA Futurity, for 2-year-olds bred in Louisiana, will be run at the distance of 400 yards and features a field on nine who advanced from the more than 140 youngsters who took part in a total of 15 trials held just two weeks ago. With a purse of more than $517,000, this marks the sixth consecutive running of the LQHBA Futurity with a purse in excess of a half-million dollars. Note: Tylers Big Bird qualified for the final but was not entered and therefore will receive the 10th-place finisher’s prize money. In addition to this event, there are three other stakes races on the rich 11-race program (the stakes races will be run as the fifth, seventh, ninth, & 10th races) each to be run at the same distance of 400 yards. They are the $91,384.35 Invitational Breeders Stake (the consolation for the LQHBA Futurity featuring the second ten fastest qualifiers) and the Evangeline Downs Derby for 3-year-olds which has split into two divisions each with a purse of $50,000. Coors Select, who had to overcome a troubled trip in her trial en route to his fourth lifetime win in nine starts, has been installed as the 3/1 favorite in the morning-line in the Restricted Grade I event. One of two starters in the field by prominent sire Oak Tree Special, he is owned by Polly Coleman and trained by Janet Van Bebber. Gilbert Ortiz, who has been aboard for three of his four victories including an easy win in the Louisiana Juvenile Stakes at Delta Downs in July, will ride Coors Select, who will leave
from post position 6. Fastest qualifier Rapid Transit and leading money-earner in the field Toast to Patriot, are two others in the field sure to attract plenty of support from the betting public. Rapid Transit, who was the fastest qualifier with a time of 19.717, has won two in a row since arriving at Evangeline Downs this fall for owner Pablo Gonzalez and trainer Miguel Rodriguez. A Dashin Bye gelding, he will by ridden by Raul Ramirez Jr. and has drawn post position 8 and is listed as the fourth choice at odds of 6/1. Toast to Patriot, by leading Louisiana sire Game Patriot was the secondfastest qualifier for the rich final despite not winning his trial. The Vann Haywood trained gelding checked in second behind Rapid Transit in his trial by a half-length. Owned by Kris Locklear, Toast to Patriot has earned more than $168,000 while recording two wins and four other in-the-money performances in his seven lifetime races. Also listed in the morning-line at 6/1, Toast to Patriot will leave from post position 5 and will be ridden by Alfonso Lujan, the current leading rider here at Evangeline Downs Racetrack & Casino. Carded as the 10th race on Saturday’s 11-race program, the approximate post time for the LQHBA Futurity is 9:25 p.m. The Invitational Breeders Stake is the seventh race on the card and is set to run at 8:10 p.m. The two divisions of the EVD Derby are carded as the fifth and ninth races on the program and are set to run at 7:20 p.m. and 9 p.m., respectively. All post times are Central. Here is the field in program order with odds for the $517,844.65 LQHBA Futurity to be run at Evangeline Downs on Saturday, Nov. 19: 1.

Wynnewood, OK Grade 1-winning sprinter Euroears starts stallion career at JEH Oklahoma Millionaire Grade 1-winning sprinter Euroears (TB) has been retired from racing and will begin his stud career at JEH Stallion Station’s Oklahoma Division near Wynnewood in 2012. His fee will be $2,000 for Quarter Horse mares and $4,000 to Thoroughbreds. Owned by Jim and Marilyn Helzer, the 7-yearold chestnut stallion won or placed in 14 of 21 starts while earning $1,043,894. He won the Grade 1, $250,000 Big Crosby Stakes last year while setting a new 6-furlong track record at Del Mar in 1:08.17.
He was also second in the Grade 1, $2.5 million Dubai Golden Shaheen Stakes at the Dubai World Cup and competed in the $1.5 million Sentinet Jet Breeders’ Cup Sprint (Grade 1) in Louisville this season. “Euroears is one of the fastest Thoroughbreds in the world and he has the conformation of a Quarter Horse,” Jim Helzer said. Among Euroears’ other stakes wins are the Palos Verdes Stakes (Grade 2), Duncan F. Kenner Stakes, F.W. Gaudin Memorial Stakes, Colonel Power Stakes and Thanksgiving Handicap. He was also second in the Texas Mile (Grade 3) and third in the Lone Star Park Handicap (Grade 3). He ran the quarter-mile in :21 and change 10 times and earned a 110 Beyer Speed Figure. Bob Baffert, an Eclipse Award-winning former Quarter Horse trainer, conditioned him this season. His sire is Canadian sprint champion Langfuhr ($698,574), a son of Danzig. Langfuhr has sired 59 stakes winners, five champions, and the earners of $78.7 million, including champion Lawyer Ron ($2,790,008), Canadian Horse of the Year Wando ($2,563,038), champion Mobil ($1,977,136) and champion Kimchi ($519,047). Euroears’ dam is the stakes-winning Heff mare
Unky And Ally ($98,600), a half sister to the dam of True Course ($363,958). For additional information or breeding contracts to Euroears, contact the farm at (405) 665-2246 or JEH Stallion Station’s General Manger Andrew Gardiner at (903) 300-9097.
NOV. 11, 2011 Altoona, IA Prairie Meadows shifts race days; QH dates on hold The Iowa Racing and Gaming Commission on Thursday approved a 67-day meet that will run from April 20 to Aug. 11 and have a Thursday-to-Sunday racing week. That’s a change from recent years, in which Prairie Meadows raced Monday and Tuesday afternoons, plus Friday and Saturday evenings. The Mondays and Tuesdays drew Prairie Meadows’ largest simulcast handles, but had sparse attendance. With its $32 million hotel due to open by April 1, Prairie Meadows is hoping that the Thursday-through-Sunday schedule will help it draw fans for the entire weekend and boost its casino revenue, as well as on-track betting on horse races. The starting time will be 6:30 p.m. on Thursday, Friday,

and Saturday, and 1 p.m. on Sunday. “We think it’s an opportunity for people to come in for the weekend and see the races,” Prairie Meadows general manager Gary Palmer said. “We think with the hotel and convention center, people will have a reason to come. “Sundays are our thirdbest (casino) day of the week. It makes sense to do it. It’s an opportunity to use our hotel to showcase our racing.” The commission deferred action on the 2012 Quarter Horse season until Prairie Meadows finds out if its bid to host quarter horse racing’s Challenge Night is accepted. The Challenge is quarter horse racing’s version of Thoroughbred racing’s Breeders’ Cup, offering six stakes races worth more than $1 million combined. Horses earn berths
by winning regional qualifying races throughout the year. If Prairie Meadows is denied the Challenge, its 26-day quarter horse season will run from Aug. 17 to Oct. 6, with three to four days of racing per week. If it gets the Challenge Night, the season will be 27 days and run through Oct. 27, racing on just Fridays and Saturdays through October.
year’s $1 million Delta Downs Jackpot (Grade 3), which will be contested for the ninth time on Saturday, Nov. 19. The year’s richest race program will feature eight stakes races in all and nearly $2.2 million in total purse money awarded. There is a special first post time of 1:15 p.m. CST on Delta Jackpot Day.

RACE RECAPS NOV. 11, 2011 Remington Park, Oklahoma City, OK Amazing run from last gets Officer Prado the win in Clever Trevor Stakes Well over 10 lengths behind with just a quartermile left in the $100,000 Clever Trevor Stakes on Friday night at Remington Park, Officer Prado was last in the field of seven and appeared defeated. However, jockey Lindey Wade had promised himself that he would not give up on Officer Prado, going so far to write the ‘never give up’ caption next to the horse’s name in his racing program. Wade didn’t let himself down, or Officer Prado. “When I angled him out leaving the turn, he really gave me a burst of speed,” Wade recalled of his winning stretch rally. “I thought ‘OK, we might get a part of this, maybe third.’ I knew we were way back but we were going to get a piece of it. Then I thought we could get second, and then I thought ‘We’re going to win!” Win they did. Isn’t He Clever had taken the lead in the stretch but could not hold it as Officer Prado collared him to win by a half-length. Mr Bluegrass Music finished a close third, just another neck behind the runner-up. Sword Trick b Early Flier, set a quick early pace in the seven-furlong Clever Trevor to set up the possibility of a closing move if the front-runners began to falter late. Sword Trick handled the first quarter-
mile in :21.56 seconds and the half-mile in :43.45 seconds. Officer Prado hit the finish in 1:23.10 over the fast track. Away at 8-1 odds, Officer Prado paid $18.40 to win, $8.80 to place and $10 to show. Isn’t He Clever paid $10.60 to place and $10.40 to show. Mr Bluegrass Music returned $17.60 to show. Sword Trick was the beaten even-money wagering favorite, finishing fifth. Alsvid, trying to add the Clever Trevor Stakes to his win earlier this season in the Kip Deville Stakes, was fourth after battling for the lead in the stretch. Officer Prado is owned by Kathryn East of Edinburg, Texas, and is trained by Steve Asmussen. A colt by Officer from the El Prado (Ire) mare Prado Lady, Officer Prado won for the second time in five attempts and made $60,000 in the process. Bred in Texas by East, Officer Prado has now earned $102,555. Officer Prado gave Asmussen his third Clever Trevor Stakes. He also scored with King Gulch in 2008 and Grand Slam Andre in 2009. This is the first Clever Trevor victory for East and for Wade. The race is named after the great Oklahoma-bred Clever Trevor who won the inaugural Oklahoma Derby at Remington Park in 1989 before going on to become a millionaire while winning many graded events in his career. Officer Prado, and many from the Clever Trevor Stakes, will now be headed to the top 2-year-old stakes race of the

Hollywood Park, Inglewood, CA Racing Aptitude surprises in Yo Eleven Racing Aptitude, the longest shot in the field at 16-1, led virtually throughout to easily win the $80,650 Yo Eleven Stakes Friday night at Hollywood Park. A distant third as the 19-10 favorite in his first start in California and initial try for trainer Bob Baffert Oct. 20 at Santa Anita, Racing Aptitude engaged with Square Eddie for the lead immediately, took control down the backside and went on to the decisive victory. Owned by breeder Don Dizney, the 3-year-old gelded son of Aptitude and the Saint Ballado mare Ecclesiastes is now 3-for-11 with earnings of $143,850.

Ridden by Martin Garcia, Racing Aptitude, who paid $35.20, $12.20 and $4.40, covered the 7 ½ furlongs over Cushion Track in 1:28.72. Tweebster, the 6-5 favorite making his first start for Baffert since a seventh-place finish in the Grade 1 Santa Anita Handicap March 5, was second, 4 ½ lengths behind the winner. The 4-year-old son of gray son of Tapit, who has two wins and a pair of runnerup finishes over the Hollywood Park main, returned $2.80 and $2.20. El Gato Malo paid $2.80 to show. In losing for the eighth time in a row since winning over the Del Mar grass Sept. 9, 2009, El Gato Malo finished a half-length behind Tweebster. Golden Itiz, the 2-1 second choice, and Square Eddie completed the order of finish. Earlier in the program, jockey Joe Talamo won three times, taking the second with 14-1 outsider Lunch Time Diva, the fourth with Skippy Due and the sixth atop favored Blue Tambourine.
