From the Publisher:

Covid-19 ---What We’ve Missed

Like the rest of the country, 2020 has brought sad and dark days to the citizens of Kershaw County. Many of us have lost family members and have had empty spaces at our family holiday meals (and in our hearts) where these loved ones normally would sit.

While nothing can possibly compare to the loss of loved ones, Covid-19 has caused other losses and disruptions in our lives---albeit, in far less serious ways.

Yes, this darn pandemic has caused, basically, a lost year for all of us. In order to try our best to remain healthy, we’ve all been advised and instructed to refrain from celebrating holidays like Thanksgiving and Christmas with family. In many cases, we’ve also lost the ability to gather for special occasions---birthdays, weddings, family reunions and even funerals. It’s been tough but, we have had to make some hard and necessary choices that we never thought we would have to make.

Likewise, attending live sporting events is important to many of us. While we have been watching many of these on TV, it really is no replacement for actually being there. TV just cannot do justice to the excitement of Williams-Brice on a cool fall night or Clemson’s Memorial Stadium or the Panther’s Bank of America Stadium much less the majesty of Augusta National for a day at The Masters. Closer to home, we Camdenites can include in the list of things we missed during 2020---attending the Carolina Cup on a glorious spring day at Springdale Race Track.

And, speaking of glorious spring days and our local horse scene: This winter’s severe weather in Kentucky and the northeast offers concrete proof that Camden’s temporate climate makes our town the ideal locale for getting horses ready for their careers--- down here usually not one day of training is lost due to snow. That continuity is such an important factor when training the newbies to get race ready. They look forward to hacking through the woods to get to the numerous nearby options of our local training tracks whether it be a workout needed on a turf track or a carefully harrowed dirt track or one with regulation steeplechase fences. We have a legacy and a history from the generosity of great horsewomen like Mrs. Marion DuPont Scott and Mrs. Wilhelmine Waller and also because of the fine Camden Training Center facility that Stuart Grant has kept in pristine condition that provide all of those options right here and now to get our horses in their best ready-to-race form. What starts out RIGHT HERE plays out on racetracks across America. It’s RIGHT HERE where horses’ stablemates imbue confidence in each other as they train together daily and are given their foundational work-outs or maybe freshened up after an injury. It’s RIGHT HERE where many a horse has been shown the correct way to compete and win and go on to earn a “pretty penny” for its owner. Because this place has a legacy and these horse people train with a steady kind hand and knowledge of the bigger goal through having years and years in the business. Our local trainers and their staff have the knowledge in their playbook of what’s required to get their wintering colts or fillies competition ready. It’s RIGHT HERE that our horses exercise under the watchful eye of experienced horsemen and are taught the skill-set needed to go on to become the great racehorses that

the promise of their full potential releases within their bloodlines.

Yes, Camden has a rich, decades long tradition of training Thoroughbreds and some of America’s finest horse trainers can attest to the fact that we compare favorably with any horse community in the southeast. In addition to our climate--our sandy soil, our experienced and knowledgeable equine workforce and our wealth of training grounds and facilities all contribute to Camden’s well-earned reputation as the Mike Mischner Steeplechase Capital of the World. It is no wonder that Camden is the envy Camden Media Co. of many other horsey communities, elsewhere.

Which brings me back to the Carolina Cup: The wife and I have been attending the races for over 40 years---first as a young couple, then later as a married pair with our children and more recently as, shall we say, an older couple. So, yes…going to the races has been a wonderful part of our lives.

Now, let’s dive a little deeper into this matter and analyze some of what the wife and I did miss so much as a result of last year’s Carolina Cup being wisely cancelled. The following is my partial list: 1) Having our adult children and grandchildren come home for the weekend which allows them to visit with us as well as see friends from their growing up years in Camden.

2) Spending the race day with many of our local friends and even making new out-of-town ones. At the last Cup we enjoyed getting to know a couple assigned to the parking space next to ours from Florence. Turns out their son was a fraternity brother of our son’s at USC---“that’s the south for ya”.

3) Tailgating: fried chicken, ham delights, potato salad, pickle trays, chips and dips, variety of desserts and, yes, a few “adult beverages”.

4) The wife and I wearing our traditional Cup get-up. While the wife usually sports a new outfit every year (much to my wallet’s chagrin), my choice does not vary from the “southern uniform” of khaki’s, Topsiders and dress cotton shirt with, and of course, my traditional hat (see photo at left) with the many Carolina Cup badges pinned to it (thanks, Don Terrell).

5) Seeing Camden all spruced up with grass freshly mowed and new pine straw put out in Camden’s beautifully manicured yards---also it’s the week the wife always gets her new spring porch geraniums. Is there a prettier town anywhere?

6) Bursting with pride in this place we call home. I’ve even heard out-of-towners say, “wouldn’t it be great to live in a place like this?”.

Yes, as a matter of fact, it definitely is.

So, thinking about what I’ve missed about not being able to go to The Cup last year sure has gotten me excited about the one coming up on May 22nd (hope you are, too). Do you agree with my list of things I’ve missed?

What’s on your list?

Global pandemic forces Carolina Cup officials to move race to later in spring, eying a safe and healthy environment for patron and competitors

Moving the 2021 Carolina Cup to May will be a one-time only change. due to Covid-19.

n a warm early summer day while moving from stall to stall in their barn located on the grounds of the Springdale Race Course, trainer Kate Dalton and her husband and steeplechase jockey Bernie Dalton were musing as to how most people never get the chance to see the facility in full bloom and glory.

For most people, the only time they make their way onto the grounds is in early spring to attend the Carolina Cup when the grass is still on the brown side with a few patches of green mixed in. A few weeks later, after warmer weather arrives in the south, they said, Springdale takes on an emerald luster.

For the horses and riders, the fuller grass should make for better jumping and racing conditions. For the race patrons, coming to a race meet held later in the spring means less pollen and a race day in which they don’t have to pack the car with everything from

Trying to assure a safe environment for the Carolina Cup is among the reasons race officials pushed this year’s races back nearly two months.

For one year only, the scene at Springdale should change as thanks to the uncertainty surrounding Covid-19, the 86th running of the Carolina Cup Races presented by Mullikin Law has been moved to Saturday, May 22, 2021. It will be the latest date which the Camden spring classic has been run. Originally, the races were to have been contested on March 27.

After the disappointment which ensued following the cancelation of the 2020 Carolina Cup last March, the Carolina Cup Racing Association (CCRA) and executive race director Toby Edwards did due diligence to try and assure this year’s races would, first, be run safely and be held as close to being a 100 percent, restriction-free event as possible, should the virus have run its course. Edwards made it a point to say that this will be a one-time change and when things return to normal or, a new normal, the Carolina Cup will return to being run the final Saturday in March or, the first Saturday in April, depending on the way the calendar falls that particular year.

The original announcement as to the date change to May 2021 was made in November. In the following days and weeks, encouraging news as to the distribution

“We strongly felt that if we were going to hold the event, we wanted the event to be at 100 percent to allow everybody who wanted to come, the ability to come to the ”

races

Winter 2021 - The Camden Horse & Equestrian- 9

of two vaccines being approved and becoming available buoyed the hopes of those in charge with staging the Carolina Cup that they made the correct call.

Edwards, whose first time overseeing the Carolina Cup was to have been in 2020, said the reaction he has received from those within the sport and those who attend the races has been “nothing but positive.”

“I think everybody understands why the decision was made. It gives us a much better chance to hold the races at 100 percent capacity given what’s going on with the vaccine being rolled out,” he said. “It was quickly apparent that running in March was simply not going to work if we wanted to run at 100 percent capacity. We strongly felt that if we were going to hold the event, we wanted the event to be at 100 percent to allow everybody who wanted to come, the ability to come to the races.

“We want to be able to hold the races with 100 percent crowd capacity and it did not look as though the March date was going to give us the opportunity to do that. By the end of May, we should be good to go.”

Echoing those words was CCRA chairman and Camden attorney William Cox who, last fall, saw the handwriting on the wall. With Covid-19 numbers in the Palmetto State, the region and throughout the country skyrocketing, Cox said his board had no other recourse than to look for an alternate, later date in the spring. One thing Cox and the CCRA board was adamant about was doing all they could to not have a second straight spring without a Cup. “To be perfectly honest,” Cox said in November when he announcement of the date change was made, “we have never been fully confident, even since our delay date, that March (2021) was going to be a doable date. We’ve been concerned, we’ve been watching the health guidance, we’ve been listening to the governor and the national policies on this … it’s been a concern all along.

“The most important thing that we wanted to do was to run the races. It is very important to Camden, Kershaw County and to the racing industry that we have this event if at all possible and when I say, if at all possible, I mean, obviously, within the guidelines of the CDC (Center for Disease Control) and the health agencies allowing us to do it.”

While some may think the new date was picked haphazardly or, drawn from a hat, nothing could be further from the truth. The Carolina Cup is an annual stop on the National Steeplechase Association’s (NSA) --- the governing body which oversees the sport of jump racing in this country --- spring circuit.

Most dates are traditional. Aiken, which has served as the season opener, still plans to run on Saturday, March 20. Under usual circumstances, the jumpers

10 - The Camden Horse & Equestrian- Winter 2021

would hit Camden the following week and continue to travel northward along the Eastern seaboard before closing the spring season with the Memorial Day weekend Fair Hill Races in Maryland.

In between, the Virginia Gold Cup is traditionally run the first Saturday in May with that popular meet being followed by the most lucrative stop of the spring --- the Iroquois Steeplechase in Nashville --- the following Saturday. There are few open Saturdays for a rescheduled meet like the Carolina Cup to be plugged into in order to avoid being run on the same date as another race meet. Given the paucity of available jump jockeys and taxing of trainers, grooms and officials, it would not have been in the best interest of the sport to have races going head-to-head on the same date.

The one open date in the spring slate was May 22.

After consulting with the NSA and various owners and trainers, Edwards and the CCRA jumped on the open date before another race meet could swoop in and scoop it up for itself.

“I quickly looked at the National Steeplechase Association calendar and I wanted to give us as much time from when the vaccine rolled out to before it got too hot down here for people to enjoy themselves outside and with the welfare of the horses in mind, as well,” Edwards said. “There was this open date (May 22) and I immediately called (NSA Director of Racing) Bill Gallo and said, ‘Bill I want that date.

I can foresee where other race meets are going to want to shuffle around to get it.’

“There was no point in trying to postpone it for two weeks or, three weeks or, four weeks. Nothing was going to change. This is nine weeks later than our traditional date. Hopefully, with these nine weeks, we have bought ourselves enough time to allow the vaccine to be fully rolled out and for people to feel comfortable, again, to come out. This is an outdoor event and there is a lot of space out there. It was a no-brainer, really, to make the change.”

As for the racing end of the switch, the move to late May should allow for a larger pool of horses to make their way into the Carolina Cup race card.

When run in March, the Cup field is at the mercy of the weather. A rough winter in the Mid-Atlantic oftentimes means horses cannot train on days when the weather is inclement. Delays such as this alter the horse’s schedule which could mean that some jumpers being pointed for an early season start will have to wait until the weather breaks and they are ready to race.

“It suits the horsemen; it fits very well into their calendar,” Edwards said of the Carolina Cup being the penultimate stop of the spring campaign. “We are somewhat weather-dependent in the spring as far as the amount of horses that race. If it has been

“The safety and welfare of our patrons is hugely important. We want them to know that we are going to provide as safe an atmosphere with their health as is possible.” a particularly hard winter up in Maryland, Pennsylvania and Virginia, the trainers struggle to get their horses fit. From that point of view, we should have a much bigger pool of horses to draw from for our (May) race.”

The going at Springdale should also be more to the horses and the horsemen’s liking. In 2018, Camden-based Modern Turf was brought in to overseed the race surface. The green grass over which the Thoroughbreds raced was a bright green while the majority of the course was a pale brown hue.

By May, the race surface in Camden should have a look not seen by many involved in the racing end of the Carolina Cup. “The spring grass, that summer grass, will be growing,” Edwards said. “The Bermuda grass is a fantastic surface to train on. Both spring and fall races in Camden have been held at a time that the Bermuda grass has gone dormant.

“I’m sure there are a number of trainers who have never been in Camden in May. It will make them realize why a lot of people like training down here through the summer. People complain that it’s too hot, but in all actuality, it’s no hotter than it is in Maryland. You just get up when the sun comes up and get the job done. The grass is fantastic here in the summer. I would hold it to any turf in America.”

Aside from the racing and fan safety angles, both Edwards and Cox looked at the Carolina Cup and the finances part of the equation. A race run with crowd restrictions would have probably sent the event --- which is a boon to the Kershaw County and City of Camden economy --- into a deeper hole. In an interview with Cox, published in the fall 2020 edition of The Camden Horse & Equestrian magazine, he said it costs roughly $450,000 to properly stage the Carolina Cup. Like almost every major sporting event, he added, sponsorship money plays a major role in the funding and success of the day of racing.

Even though there seems to be a light at the end of the tunnel with news of the vaccine, Edwards was

still hesitant to put on a late, full-court press in order to try and entice businesses to dip their toes in the water of getting back or, for some, entering the sponsorship game.

“There is still caution with companies. We have great relationships with past sponsors and those will continue,” said the retired jump jockey and former Thoroughbred trainer and owner. “Possibly, this will not be a year to actively seek new, large sponsors. Obviously, we will always entertain new sponsorship and will certainly be looking at some different companies.”

While the goal and hope is for a restrictionfree Carolina Cup, Edwards said he is not taking anything for granted. There are too many forks in the road with this virus and things could change with little to no warning. In that respect, Edwards can lean on the lessons he learned in November.

As the race director for the Steeplechase of Charleston, Edwards oversaw one of two 2020 NSA race meets which were held with limited attendance.

In the instance of Charleston, Edwards and his staff took their cue from the South Carolina Department of Commerce when it came to how many patrons could come onto the property on race day as well as adhering to the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control safety policies. That experience, Edwards said, gave him a head start in making sure the Carolina Cup is run in a safe environment on May 22.

“It was huge,” Edwards said of the experience gained by running things in Charleston. “It’s not near as big a day of racing (as the Carolina Cup), but the protocols and the safety measures that we put in place for the Steeplechase of Charleston worked really well.

“I would foresee myself copycatting a lot of that here, regardless of where we are. The safety and welfare of our patrons is hugely important. We want them to know that we are going to provide as safe an atmosphere with their health as is possible.”

A new way of doing business (Editor’s note: In the weeks and months in between the day --- March 12, 2020 --- when the 2020 Carolina Cup was canceled due to Covid-19, to the announcement made last November that the 2021 Carolina Cup Races were being moved from its original March 27 date to May 22, the Carolina Cup race office has used the time to begin implementing new measures. Some initiatives were brought about by the ongoing pandemic while others were in the planning stages and will be implemented this spring. Carolina Cup executive director Toby Edwards gave an update on what to expect for the 86th running of the Camden spring classic.)

Obviously, it’s been slow here, but it has given us the opportunity to make some changes. The biggest change is the fact that we are going to total digital communication in the Carolina Cup office. It was something that we had been contemplating, but Covid pushed us toward that.

By going to a digital communication format, it means our patrons should not expect to receive an invitation to the

By TOBY EDWARDS races which has been done since … forever. All communications from our office will now be done through email. We sent out one last postcard explaining this new system to people, asking them to call our office if they had changed their email address or, if they thought the email address we had for them was not current.

This change will make life a lot simpler for you, the customer. Purchasing your Carolina Cup ticket will now be as easy as buying an airline ticket. You will be able to go to our website --- www.carolinacup.org ---, go to the Ticket platform, put in a profile, which will ask for your name, address and that sort of information, click on the ticket package that you want and purchase it. That ticket will then be mailed out to you.

General admission tickets will be available in digital form to where you can download it to your cell phone, show up on race day, show the gate worker your screen, have it scanned by them and come into the races. We’re trying to get current in the digital age. Ecommerce is the future. It allows us to keep costs down in the office which, therefore, passes the savings on to you, our customer, by not having to increase our ticket prices.

When we canceled last year’s Carolina Cup, all our printed and various other promotional materials had already come back from the printer and, in the case of the invitations, had been sent. Our printing cost in the office was significant. I think that people are now familiar with using email. The savings, not just in cost but in materials and the amount of paper that we were mailing out, was substantial.

Going to a digital method of tickets has many positives, not only for cost-saving, but also not wasting huge amounts of paper, as well. Even though we try to keep current with our mailing list, invariably, we always have quite a large number of invitations returned to us as being undeliverable or, that people have moved. This is really the best way for the Carolina Cup to move forward.

In this age of Covid, we are seeking to go touch-free for the safety of our patrons. There will be no touch points at the gates in terms of tickets. This measure has been done to keep you safer as well as the staff at the gates safer, as well. I think this should make the process much smoother.

There are other advantages to going digital, as well.

The fact that you can be on the way to the races and there are four of you having tickets and you bring along another friend who doesn’t have a ticket for the races. As you are driving to the races, you will be able to go to our website and purchase an extra general admission ticket so that transaction does not have to take place at the gate, allowing for quicker access through the gate so that we get you into the event safely and you can enjoy yourself throughout the day.

The gears for going digital were in motion, but Covid gave us the opportunity to ramp it up and move forward more quickly as we have had extra time here in our office to learn the new ticket platform. You would have seen some of these changes, regardless of Covid, but it was probably going to be 2022 before they would be implemented.

I hope things will go smoothly when it comes to these changes. There will be a bit of a learning curve for us here at the office as well as for our patrons. Ultimately, the process should be a lot smoother.

You can still call the race office (at 803-432-6513) or, come into the office to purchase your tickets. We’re not suggesting that you can’t do that. What we are trying to do is to smooth the process and make the process smoother for you, the customer.

Hall of Fame trainer Jonathan Sheppard seeks a new world to conquer as she sends assistant Keri Brion and six jumpers to tackle Irish hurdle racing

By TOM DIDATO

Winter 2021 - The Camden Horse & Equestrian- 27

T

was the day before the night before Christmas and for Keri Brion, stationed in Ireland for the holidays and most of this winter, the weather was predictably cold and wet. Even a gloomy day, however, could not cloud the tone of optimism in her voice.

There are far worse places to be and few as challenging to ply your trade as a trainer of Thoroughbreds than on the Emerald Isle where horses, especially those which travel over fences, are revered.

Brion, a native of Lancaster, Pa., who started scrubbing water buckets and cleaning halters at the barn of neighbor and trainer Ronnie Houghton at the age of 10, rode her first race as an amateur on the flat at a steeplechase meet in 2010. Her first official mount came some two years after landing a job with Hall of Fame trainer Jonathan Sheppard at his barn in Unionville, Pa. Now an assistant trainer for Sheppard and overseeing his string of jumpers, Brion expanded her horizons when she traveled with to Ireland with six Sheppard-conditioned chasers to run there during a time in America in which jump racing is taking what is hoped to be a four-month layoff after a Covid-19-

abbreviated 2020 schedule. Due to the ongoing pandemic, finding races and conditions which fitted their horses proved to be a tough assignment for both trainers and owners. That led to some out of the box thinking and nobody in the sport is more willing to explore different avenues while giving horses and jockeys unique opportunities than Sheppard.

Having celebrated his 80th birthday in December, Sheppard decided against traveling with his horses to Ireland. He sent Brion, his trusted assistant, in his stead. It was at the Cup Runneth Over, held at the Springdale Race Course in April of 2019, in which Brion rode the Sheppardtrained Orchestra Leader to victory in the afternoon’s $30,000 feature.

While Brion sported an ear-to-ear grin posing for pictures in the winners’ enclosure, the trainer of 15 Eclipse Award winners politely declined when asked about the training and the work which went into getting the horse to that point.

Instead, Sheppard simply laughed and pointed in Brion’s direction saying, “You need to talk to her. She’s the boss.”

Sheppard, who won his record 26th National Steeplechase Association training championship in November, has never wavered in his faith in Brion as, even now, he seeks to conquer new worlds even if he is unable to

“I’ve been very, very lucky working for someone like him … it’s been invaluable. He is a living legend ,”

physically be there with his horses. The trainer and his understudy talk by phone each day as to the horses’ training and what the next steps will be for each jumper.

“I’ve been very, very lucky working for someone like him … it’s been invaluable. He is a living legend,” Brion said of her working under the tutelage of Sheppard.

Joining Brion on the trip to Ireland were Grade I and 2019 Eclipse Award for Steeplechase winner Winston C along with Francois, both owned by Ed Swyer’s Hudson River Farms. The

“When that race cancelled, that was when we starting talking about going to Ireland .”

Irv Naylor-owned French Light and Clondaw Camp were in tow along with Baltimore Bucko and Fancy Pance, both racing in the colors of Buttonwood Farm. For all but Francois, this is a homecoming as the five were all bred in Ireland. Also returning home with the group was newly minted 2020 NSA leading rider Gerard Galligan, a native of Ireland who grew up in the area surrounding the Irish breeding, training and racing mecca of Curragh. He, along with Irish jump jockey John O’Neill and Winston C’s regular rider, Tom Garner, will get the calls on the Sheppard jumpers while in Ireland. In Garner’s case, there is the hope that he may get to ride Winston C at the prestigious and stakesladen Cheltenham Festival in March.

When all is said and done, it will be Brion making the final decision on where and when the horses will run since she sees and is on the back of all the six jumpers on a daily basis as they train for their first starts of 2021 after a light 2020 slate of races.

“It’s raining, but so far, so good. The horses seem good,” Brion said in giving both a weather report and an update on her jumpers to start off a Dec. 23 phone interview from her base in Enniscorthy, Ireland.

Winter 2021 - The Camden Horse & Equestrian- 29

The ability to be laughing through the rain can almost be expected for Brion, a lifer in the business who like most in the industry would like to forget a 2020 campaign which was butchered by the ongoing pandemic. When races were scratched, including the Grade I Lonesome Glory, usually run at Belmont Park in September, it led to Swyer, Sheppard and Brion having to devise an alternate plan to get some horses back on the track, even if it meant having to travel to Ireland to accomplish that goal.

“It was the lack of racing,” Brion answered matter-of-factly as to why this rather unique step was taken by Sheppard and trio of owners.

“Ed (Swyer) had the idea of, ‘What do you guys think about taking (Winston C) over (to Ireland.)

When we thought about it, we talked to some other owners and everybody was on the same thought process. There were quite a few horses that didn’t get that many opportunities to run and we said, ‘Let’s give it a shot. We can go over there and have a bit of a winter season which we, obviously, don’t have in America and we’ll give it a go.”

Winston C was being trained up to run in the New York Turf Writers in Saratoga in August which would have taken him into the Lonesome Glory. He took both Grade I chases as a 5-year-old in 2019. A minor setback in training made a start in the Turf Writers impossible. In the days following, the cancelation of the Lonesome Glory scrapped the plans for the defending Eclipse Award champion to take to the course in 2020.

“He was always going to go to the Lonesome Glory at Belmont,” Brion said of what was to have been Winston C’s debut as a 6-year-old last fall.

“When that race cancelled, that was when we starting talking about going to Ireland. That would have been about July and we started putting the plan together. Jonathan and I talked to a couple of the different owners. There were a couple horses which fit the bill and did not necessarily need good ground. They don’t seem to mind the ground being soft.

“We put together a little team with three different owners, six horses and here we are.”

There was some discussion as to adding three or four more horses to the entourage, but those thoughts were quickly dismissed for a variety of reasons including shipping costs, being able to manage a large number of horses and, in the case of two-time winner Zoom Zoom Zoe, the 4-yearold did enough in 2020 to warrant a break and a rest before the 2012 NSA spring season. Sheppard and Brion agreed that, in this instance, six was enough as the group was firmed and both travel and racing plans were laid out.

“There were different sets of circumstances with each horse, but six seemed like a good number,” she said. “I’m here on my own so, six seems like a good number. I ride all six out on a daily basis so it’s not so bad.”

Home base in Ireland for Brion is at the home of James and Ellen Boyle, who run Baltimore Stables in County Wexford, from which half of the six horses she brought along were purchased before being brought to race in America.

It was James Doyle who helped facilitate the stay for the American contingent, both two- and four-legged.

“When I first started talking to (James) about this, he said that there were obviously a lot of rules in Ireland about coming into yards and the horses being segregated,” Brion said. “James has been incredible. He actually built new stables in the back of their yard so that we have our own stables. He really made it possible for us to come over and do this.

“Luckily, we have a good friendship, along with our working relationship, too. Without James and Ellen, it wouldn’t have been possible.”

Brion is hardly a tourist when it comes to being in Ireland, which is a hotbed for American owners and trainers looking to add to their barn and come to the Emerald Island looking for a particular horse. In most cases, the jumpers have experience traveling over hurdles, making the task easier

‘Let’s give it a shot.

We can go over there and have a bit of a winter season which we, obviously, don’t have in America and we’ll give it a go.”

once they arrive on U.S. soil and start training here. There is, she laughed, a big difference between being in Ireland for the sale of a horse and training against some of the country’s top trainers.

“I love it here. I’ve been here a ton of times,” Brion said of her association with the land she is calling home through late March. “I facilitated a lot of the sales of a lot of our horses in Ireland over the last two years. I’ve bought about 10 horses off James Doyle and two off Mick Goff down the road. We’ve had a lot of success with these pointto-point horses from these types of stables and bringing them to America.

“This is my first time training here and it’s definitely no joke. We’re playing with the big boys here.”

Brion said the owners, along with Sheppard and herself, have little goals with some of the horses save for Winston C, “It would be great to get him to Cheltenham,” she said. “We have really high hopes for French Light for the future. He seems like a really exciting young horse. I’m hoping that he can break out here. When I bought him, there were a lot of people in Ireland who were interested in him and I got to him.”

All six jumpers will test the waters and will, by Irish racing rules, have to run a race in Ireland

in order to receive a rating/marks before moving to bigger and better races. Even an accomplished jumper such as dual Grade I winner Winston C must prove itself in a new land before moving up in the ranks and to possibly, graded stakes company.

Of the six, Winston C was the only jumper to possibly have a plan for moving from Ireland. If things went perfectly, there was a chance that he and Garner could make the trip to England to race at Cheltenham, which has its own set of stringent rules and regulations as to which jumpers are qualified to run in the four-day festival.

“Hopefully, God-willing, if we do have a horse going to Cheltenham that, by then, things will be OK for us to go over there,” Brion said of the current health-related situation. “We didn’t have anything penciled in. Really, there are so many opportunities to run here in Ireland that I don’t foresee it as being much of an issue for us.”

Even should Winston C pass its test(s) in Ireland, a wrench was thrown into the works as a variant of the Covid-19 virus prohibited travel to the United Kingdom from outside its borders.

“Ideally with him, we’d love to get him to Cheltenham,” Brion said of Winston C’s plan of attack. “We’re taking it one step at a time. If he could win a race here, that would be really worth

enough. He does have one (win) that they have given a rating to because he has run in England before.

We had a plan for him (to run on Jan.) 31st. He had a minor setback when he got here and missed a couple days of training. That puts you out here. For their fitness, they need to have been training every day so that they’re up to par.”

One thing which Brion has picked up on quickly is just how different training in the deep and oftentimes deep going in Ireland is as compared to preparing horses on this side of the Atlantic.

“It’s way different. It’s a completely different type of training altogether so we’re out of our comfort zone,” she said. “The name of the game here is stamina while the name of the game in America is speed. It’s a different kind of fitness that the horses need. You have to be able to switch off and go very relaxed in order to get through the deep ground that they have to go through here whereas, in America, they’re always kind of on the bridle and speedy and nippy over the ground.

“Luckily, all the horses I brought over have been to England or Ireland before so they have gotten back into the swing of things a lot easier than I thought that might. I’ve been really pleased about that. I talked to Jonathan about that on a daily basis on how well they seem to have acclimated back to the heavy ground and everything else.”

Another change is the size of the hurdles. While the National Fences used in most NSA races are 52 inches high, the height of the Irish hurdles is 37 inches. Given the different dimensions, Brion said she did not anticipate any of the American invaders to have much trouble adjusting to the shorter fences.

“They’ve schooled over their hurdles here and they’ve taken to them with no problems at all. That part of it was probably the easiest thing because they’re all great jumpers,” she said of hurdle racing.

“It’s what the horses know and we’ve had success with that. The jumping is probably the easiest part of the whole thing.”

The first jumper to take to the track, Baltimore Bucko, finished a game third in a novice hurdle for

4-year-olds and up at Limerick --- known for its heavy ground --- on Dec. 29 with Galligan in the irons. The pair led the field heading toward the final fence, only for a big jump --- which would have been perfect had it been a National Fence --- to disrupt the run and take away the chance for a winning European debut.

Brion said it was a great way to start the journey and hopes this will be a harbinger of things to come for the rest of the winter stay. “Ideally,” she said of the number of races each horse may run, “you’d love to get three, maybe, four runs into them. Obviously, though, not everything will run as planned.”

The plan, post-Ireland, is for the six jumpers to come home healthy in late March, get some welldeserved time off and be on point to compete in the NSA spring circuit at some point in time. With the uncertainty as to when the season will start, due to the virus, no trainer is making any firm plans as to where they will run their horses. Brion said the Iroquois meet in Nashville in May seems to be a likely landing point for many of the Irish contingent. Saratoga is the summer goal should the spring schedule have to be altered.

For the time being, even on a cold, rainy day, Keri Brion was not complaining. She was doing what she loves. She is training horses, bringing them to the track and competing in the major leagues of jump racing; if she should take the reins and lead one of the six into the winners’ enclosure, all the better in this first in a lifetime opportunity for the owners and an assistant trainer who has learned under the watchful eye of the master.

“The owners want to have a bit of fun and, of course, with the horses, you want to make a bit of money,” Brion said of the goal of the trip. “This is kind of an interesting venture. It’s great to have three supportive owners who are willing to take the lead and see what happens.

“If we can win a race while we’re here, I think that would be a big accomplishment. If we can win more than one, it would be a huge accomplishment.”

“If we can win a race while we’re here, I think that would be a big accomplishment .”

Museum exhibits donated by the Browns and Sheppard provide living history of jump racing in Camden

By TOM DIDATO

T

wo giants of Camden’s contribution to the sport of Thoroughbred racing and jump racing, in particular, have donated portions of their vast array of trophies, photos, paintings and other memorabilia to the National Steeplechase Association.

The Austin and Sally Brown Founders Room is an exhibit chronicling the lives of the late couple who called Camden home for many years while playing major roles in the Carolina Cup, the Colonial Cup, the Camden Hunt and the National Steeplechase Museum itself, which was the brainchild of Austin Brown. While open now, the exhibit is expected to have its grand opening the weekend of the Carolina Cup Races, which are set for Saturday, May 22.

In early December, Hall of Fame trainer Jonathan Sheppard donated his collection of trophies, photos, coolers and other items --mostly garnered from National Steeplechase

Association meets in the southeast part of the country --- to the National Steeplechase Museum which will be displayed in a new exhibit space in an adjoining portion of the only facility of its kind dedicated to the sport of steeplechasing.

With such an enormous amount of gifts bestowed and donated to the museum, Carolina Cup executive director Toby Edwards was seeking ways and finding room to put the items on display for the public to view.

“We are making some other changes within the museum to have some larger displays, create more exhibit space and, hopefully, to make the museum a more interesting experience,” Edwards said.

Austin Brown (1926-2016) and his late wife Sally have provided a lasting legacy to the National Steeplechase Museum by bequeathing funds and all equestrianrelated items including trophies, books and

Austin was “born to the sport” in Tryon, N.C. His father, Carter, brought horses to Tyron in the early 1930s where he introduced The Block House Steeplechase and developed extensive riding trails and hospitality for sporting visitors. Likewise, Austin’s early professional career included management of the Court Inn and Springdale Hall Club in Camden, Castle Hotel in Michigan and the Sea Horse Hotel in Florida.

In 1946, he married Sally Stokely and gained a partner to share his enthusiasm for horses.

Sally was an excellent rider and served as Master of the Hounds for the Camden Hunt.

After gaining his jockey’s license at age 16, Austin had a successful riding career that included appearances in 14 Iroquois Steeplechase races with three victories. More importantly, his riding spurred a career as a trainer, owner, steward and a leader in the steeplechase industry.

Austin and Sally returned to Camden in 1982 where, except for his consultancy at the Birmingham Turf Club, the pair retired. It proved to be a retirement in name only as Austin’s ongoing and dedicated support for steeplechasing included his serving on the boards of the National Steeplechase Association, the Carolina Cup Racing Association as well as a multitude of other civic organizations. In 1998, he championed the concept of and raised funds to establish the National Steeplechase Museum in Camden. In 2007, he was awarded the coveted F. Ambrose Clark Award, given periodically to “individuals who have done the most to promote, improve and encourage the growth and welfare of steeplechasing.”

The Brown Collection of equestrian art, trophies and memorabilia has been placed in The Founders Room at the National Steeplechase Museum. While the exhibit’s grand opening has been postponed indefinitely due to the Covid-19 pandemic, private tours are available by appointment. The National Steeplechase Museum looks forward to hosting a formal opening of this new exhibit with all its members when it is safe to do so.

Appointments may be made by contracting the office at (803) 432-6513 or, by sending an email to steeplechasemuseum@gmail.com. The museum has also resumed normal operating hours and is open from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m.

Wednesday through Saturday.

A native of Ashwell, England, the 80-year old Sheppard won his NSA-record 26th leading trainer title in 2020. A longtime resident of Camden, he has saddled 15 Eclipse Award winners --- both over jumps and on the flat --- and had a 47-year streak of having trained a winner at Saratoga.

Sheppard was also an avid and accomplished polo player. He has more than 3,300 race winners including more than 1,000 over jumps. In Camden, he sent out 13 Colonial Cup winners while also continuing to serve on the Carolina Cup Racing Association Board of Directors.

(The National Steeplechase Museum is located at 200 Knights Hill Road in Camden, on the grounds of Springdale Race Course.)

The envelope, please National Steeplechase Association hands out championships from a shortened 2020 campaign

By TOD MARKS American steeplechasing was hardly spared from the wrath of Covid-19 in 2020.

Beginning with the news on March 12 of the cancelation of the Carolina Cup to finally returning to racing with a pair of spring events in Virginia contested in June to a nine-race Saratoga meet in which fans were prohibited from entering the track and ending with an abbreviated six-race fall slate, with only the final two stops --- Callaway Gardens and Charleston --- allowing a limited number of spectators, jump racing was able to somehow, some way forge ahead.

Running the races, albeit for smaller purses, allowed horses to stay in training, provided trainers, jockeys, grooms and other associates a paycheck as the sport did its best with the hand it was dealt.

Here are the 2020 National Steeplechase Association champions for a year which nearly wasn’t: Lonesome Glory leading money winner Moscato Owner: Bruton Street-US Trainer: Jack Fisher Jockey: Michael Mitchell A standout since coming from Europe in 2017, Moscato was the sport’s top earner in 2020 with two wins and a third in three starts and $100,000 in winnings.

The flashy gray British-bred son of Hernando began his season as he did a year earlier, with a victory in the Temple Gwathmey Stakes at Middleburg (the only graded hurdle stake run outside of Saratoga this season), this time romping by 11 lengths over a star-studded field that included Eclipse-award winner Zanjabeel, Iranistan, and Surprising Soul. Next came a determined late rally to overtake Eclipseaward finalist Optimus Prime in the G1 AP Smithwick at Saratoga. Moscato, who early

in his U.S. career raced in the shadow of his Eclipse-award winning stablemate Scorpiancer, finished his campaign with a close third to another stablemate, Rashaan, in the G1 NY Turf Writers Cup at the Spa. What does the future hold for the nineyear-old? A tendon injury surfaced late in the summer, and Moscato’s connections are hoping that he will be able to run next fall. But, ultimately, it will be up to how the horse rehabs under the care of trainer Jack Fisher.

Leading jockey Gerard Galligan After eight years --- and 445 mounts --- on the circuit, Gerard Galligan reached two milestones in 2020. The jockey, from Kildare, Ireland, secured his first win at Saratoga this summer, aboard Irv Naylor’s French Light, and captured his first NSA riding title. And he did the latter with flair, finishing first in four of the five races at the season finale at Charleston to surpass Michael Mitchell by two victories.

Overall, Galligan won 13 races (with nine seconds and nine thirds) in 61 mounts, and $230,200 in purses ($64,110 behind Mitchell).

Riding for Jonathan Sheppard, Galligan’s top mounts were Zoom Zoom Zoe, Baltimore Bucko, French Light, and A Silent Player.

Galligan will be returning to Ireland soon to ride Baltimore Bucko and French Light in a European campaign. After taking the riding title in Charleston, Galligan said, “I was hoping I might be able to claw back a draw in the jockey championship, but after winning the first four races, I had to pinch myself. I was worried I was going to wake up from a dream. It was the proudest day of my career, for sure.

“I’m very grateful for all the support from Jonathan Sheppard, his great team at Ashwell, and all the wonderful owners for the opportunities this year. I’ve never been happier.”

Leading trainer Jonathan Sheppard

campaign with a record of four starts, two wins, a second, and $34,500 in purses.

There’s no disputing that Hall of Fame trainer Jonathan Sheppard is a living legend, having achieved staggering success both over jumps and on the flat in a career that spans some 60 years. His list of accomplishments is jaw-dropping, starting with his 15 Eclipse Awards winners and a 47-year winning streak at Saratoga.

In 2020, the native of Ashwell, Hertfordshire, England won his 26th NSA training title, dethroning Jack Fisher, whose powerhouse stable had taken the title for nine straight years. Sheppard recorded 19 wins --- in addition to finishing in the money in 46 of 79 starts --- to Fisher’s dozen, though the latter took home about $11,000 more in purses.

Sheppard, who won his first leading trainer title in 1970, has now captured the award at least once in six consecutive decades.

The shadow Sheppard casts over the sport is a giant one, and he recently set out to conquer a new world by sending out a string of his top runners for a winter European campaign, overseen by his assistant Keri Brion.

Leading owner Bruton Street-US

Champion timber horse Curve of Stones Owner: S. Rebecca Shepherd Trainer: David Bourke Jockey: Barry John Foley If ever a horse lived up to the saying “if at first you don’t succeed, try, try again,” it is Curve of Stones.

Rebecca Shepherd’s nine-year-old son of Arch, burst on the jump racing scene in 2016, and turned heads with back to back wins. But after a dull performance at Monmouth, the gelding went to the sidelines for 11 months, and didn’t hit the board again until the fall of 2017. It was another year before his next in-the-money finish, and still another after that before he did so again. But his connections persisted despite setbacks, and “Stoney,” as he’s known around trainer David Bourke’s barn, finally broke his maiden over timber in October 2019.

This year, all the perseverance paid off as Curve of Stones broke through with two stakes wins, the National Sporting Library and Museum Cup and the International Gold Cup, both this fall in Virginia.

He concluded his championship season with a runner-up finish to Upland Partners’ Mystic Strike at the Pennsylvania Hunt Cup Races, finishing his

It was serendipity that brought together three friends to form the Bruton Street-US partnership, and it’s a ride that’s taken them to the highest level of the sport.

In 2013, Mike Hankin, Charlie Fenwick, and Charlie Noell were attending the races at Royal Ascot in England. At breakfast one morning, Fenwick suggested the trio pool their resources to pick out some horses for Mike’s son, NSA jockey Connor Hankin, to ride. Hankin and Noell had co-owned Connor’s first mount, Make Your Own, and the partnership began its new adventure with City Press and Drift Society, the latter a solid timber stakes performer who would go on to record two seconds and a third in the prestigious Maryland Hunt Cup. Since then, they’ve never looked back.

Bruton Street-US --- named after a thoroughfare where Hankin’s firm, Brown Advisory, operates its London office --- campaigned 2017 Eclipse-award winning steeplechaser Scorpiancer and 2016 timber champ Two’s Company. They’ve had other good ones, too, such as Lemony Bay, Lord Justice, The Nephew, Ballylifen, and Pravalaguna.

In 2020, the stable made the most of the sport’s limited opportunities and campaigned its three brightest stars (and highest earners): Grade 1 winners Moscato and Rashaan, who defeated his stablemate in the New York Turf Writers Cup at Saratoga, and the electrifying novice sensation Snap Decision, a winner of seven straight races, including the Michael G. Walsh, Jonathan Kiser, and David Semmes Memorial this year.

The trio accounted for all six Bruton Street’s victories and $252,000 of its $253,950 in purse earnings.

Bruton Street had 10 horses in training with Jack Fisher this season, as well as two each with Leslie Young (who conditions Rashaan), Todd Wyatt, and Elizabeth Voss Murray. In addition, the partners run horses in the U.S. and in Europe (with Ben Pauling and Willie Mullins), under the monikers Northwoods Stable, Merriebelle Stable, and Bruton Street-UK. Though most of the stable’s acquisitions have been European-breds, notably Irish-breds, Mike Hankin said that the group is trying to produce more U.S.bred horses for racing over jumps. They’re also working diligently to introduce new owners to the game.
