Zito said he’d like to find one more race at Gulfstream this winter for Jackson Bend, with his first major goal of the season the Grade 1 Met Mile.

“I’m going to suggest to Mr. LaPenta that we keep him in races up to a mile.

That’s what he’s happy doing. He ran so good to be third in the Preakness you could think he liked the distance, but I think that was just on class,” Zito said. “I’d like to take a shot at the Met Mile with him. I’ve been second in it a couple times.”

Henry Sexton Passes Away Longtime Double Diamond Farm employee Henry Sexton passed away Jan. 21 after a battle with cancer. Sexton was a valuable asset, having worked at the Ocala farm for about 20 years. He worked with mares and did all the foaling at the farm. He also helped manage the maintenance division.

Prior to working with Double Diamond Farm, Sexton worked at Crescent Farm in Kentucky as a foaling man. He also worked at Bwamazon Farm in the 1980s as their foaling man and night watchman.

Double Diamond Farm Manger Jimmy Alexander said, “He will be sorely missed. He was the best foaling man I ever worked with.” Sexton leaves behind his wife Pauline, daughter Christy and son Kenny, who works with the Double Diamond Farm mare division.

Florida-bred Taylors Irish broke sharply and repelled all challengers to take the $50,000 Manatee Stakes at Tampa Bay Downs on Jan. 21 by a neck over Island Bound. The 6-year-old daughter of Drewman notched her first stakes score in the seven furlong Manatee after a heady ride from jockey Pedro Cotto Jr. Taylors Irish was claimed two years ago at Tampa Bay Downs by her current owner Michael Newman and trainer Chrles Harvatt for $10,000. She now has 6 wins from 38 lifetime starts and earnings of $172,977.

Bred in Florida by Dianne D. Cotter, Taylors Irish is out of the Mister Frisky mare Brandon’s Ride, who has produced stakes winners Toby’s Corner and Bushmills Best.

Cotto was able to get Taylors Irish to the front early. She set a pressured paced through fractions of 23.08, 45.83 and 1:10.54. Her final time of 1:23.55 was .03 seconds off Hyperlink’s stakes record, set last year.

“She wanted to be up front and when we got there, she settled for me,” said Cotto. “One

of them (Island Bound and jockey Ronnie Allen, Jr.) pushed past us on the turn, but I could sense my horse had more to give. Having ridden her before really helped me today.”

Cotto won an allowance aboard Taylors Irish at Tampa Bay Downs on Dec. 7 for Harvatt.

“She loves everything about this place – the weather, the water, the surface,” said Harvatt.

“She trains well here and just loves this track.”

Owner Michael Newman, an attorney from Stuart, earned his first stakes victory as an owner and described the experience as surreal.

“When you win a stakes race, well, that just doesn’t happen very often,” Newman said.

“When she was coming down the stretch, I was in shock mode. She is an absolutely gorgeous horse, and I can’t say enough about her.

She always gives you an effort.”

Taylors Irish returned $35.40, 12.60 and $6.40 for the victory. Island Time paid $8.80 to place and $5.00 to show. Much Rejoicing finished a half-length behind Island Time in third and paid $4.80.

Hot Summer, the 7-5 favorite, came up empty in the drive and finished eighth.

Florida-bred Awesome Feather remained perfect in nine career starts with another impressive win in the $300,000 Sunshine Millions Distaff.

Bred by Fred and Jane Brei’s Jacks or Better Farm, the daughter of Journeyman Stud stallion Awesome of Course pressured early pacesetter Tiz the Argument around the first turn and into the backstretch of the 11⁄8-mile fixture. Jockey Jeff Sanchez asked Awesome Feather for her best negotiating the far turn, and she responded by powering away from Tiz the Argument and opened up on the field.

Ears pricking back and forth, Awesome Feather crossed the wire 5¾ lengths ahead of a game Delightful Mary who crossed the wire a soundly-defeated second.

“I have so much confidence in her,” said Sanchez who has piloted Awesome Feather in all nine of her wins. “She’s just so special to me. She’s the best horse I’ve ever ridden. She’s the best filly in the world.”

As for what’s next for the prized 4-year-old filly, Brown said the team is taking things one race at a time.

Even more amazingly, Adena Springs was the leading North American breeder by earnings ($14,641,413) for the ninth consecutive year. The latter led to Adena Springs collecting the 2011 Eclipse Award as Outstanding Breeder, the eighth time Stronach has earned that honor.

But it was also a record-setting year for Ocala Stud as that operation posted $4,135,381 in Florida-bred earnings. In the third spot was BryLynn Farm, which also had a banner year with Florida-bred earnings of $2,756,321. Rounding out the top quintet of Florida breeders were Gilbert G. Campbell ($2,666,468) in fourth and Live Oak Stud ($2,585,057) in fifth.

Rounding out the Top 10 Florida breeders by Florida-bred earnings were: Jacks Or Better Farm ($2,014,552), Eugene Melnyk ($1,972,677), Glen Hill Farm ($1,680,121), Donald Dizney ($1,530,980) and the late Arthur I.

She was subsequently named the Florida-bred and Eclipse champion female sprinter, as well as the Florida-bred champion older female.

founded and is managed by Adam Lazarus.

Turbulent Descent scored a pair of Grade I wins and added a Grade II victory for good measure. The 3-yearold Congrats filly won the Santa Anita Oaks (G1), Test Stakes (G1) and Beaumont Stakes (G2). She was also second in both the Acorn Stakes (G1) and Las Virgenes Stakes (G1) to bank $530,000 on the year. Turbulent Descent was named the 2011 Florida-bred champion 3-year-old filly. Ocala Stud sold Turbulent Descent for $160,000 to current owner Blinkers On Racing Stable at the 2010 OBS April juvenile sale.

Teaks North, a 4-year-old Northern Afleet gelding, started the season off in stellar fashion with a nose win in the Gulfstream Park Handicap (G1) on February 5.

He next visited the winner’s circle after a victory in the Monmouth Stakes (G3) on June 12 at Monmouth Park. Less than a month later, Teaks North scored his second career Grade I win with a tally in the United Nations Stakes (G1) on July 2 at Monmouth Park.

Trained by Justin Sallusto and owned by Jules Boutelle, Teaks North banked $817,564 on the season and by year’s end had career earnings of $1,001,964.

Teaks North was named the 2011 Florida-bred champion turf male.

Aikenite, a 4-year-old Yes It’s True colt, won a pair of Grade II events. Raced by Dodgwood Stable, Aikenite first captured the Commonwealth Stakes (G2) at Keeneland on April 16. The Todd Pletcher trainee then won the Churchill Downs Stakes (G2) on May 7.

Since establishing their Stonehedge Farm South in 1988, Gilbert and Marilyn Campbell has been perennial leading Florida breeders. And 2011 was no exception as Campbell-bred runners banked $2,666,468.

Campbell was represented by five Florida-bred stakes winners, including Grade II homebred Watch Me Go, as well as stakes winners My Sunshine Gal, This Ones For Phil, Tannersville and Western Prospector. Notably Watch Me Go, My Sunshine Gal, Tannersville and Western Prospector are all by current Stonehedge Gilbert & Marilynn Campbell Farm stallion West Acre. This Ones For Phil is by Stonehedge Farm stallion Untuttable.

Watch Me Go, a 3-year-old colt out of the Deputy Minister mare Sabbath Song, captured the Tampa Bay Derby (G2) on March 12. Saddled by Kathleen O’Connell, Watch Me Go prevailed by a neck over Crimson Knight with Brethren third. Winning time for the eight and a half furlongs was 1:44.25. Watch Me Go also posted a third in the Sam F. Davis Stakes (G3) to earn $258,070 for Campbell on the year.

My Sunshine Gal appropriately enough won the Stonehedge Farm South Sophomore Fillies Stakes at Tampa Bay Downs. Tannersville captured the Our Dear Peggy Stakes at Calder while This Ones For Phil posted a victory in the Decathlon Stakes at Monmouth Park. Western Prospector won the Holiday Cheer Stakes at Turfway Park.

LIVE OAK STUD - $2,585,057 Charlotte Weber’s Live Oak Stud recorded a brilliant 2011 season as its Florida-bred runners earned $2,585,057. Live Oak Stud was represented by seven Florida-bred stakes winners, including Grade I stakes winner Brilliant Speed and Grade III stakes winner Unbridled Humor, who also carried Weber’s Live Oak Plantation silks. Additionally Live Oak Stud was rep20 THE FLORIDA HORSE • FEBRUARY 2012

resented by Florida-bred stakes winners I Am Awesome, Saintly Spirit, Slews Answer, Stradivinsky and Successful Song. Of that latter group, Slews Answer and Successful Song also race for Live Oak Plantation.

Brilliant Speed came into his own in a big way in the spring. Going off at odds of 19-1 in the Blue Grass Stakes (G1) on Keeneland Polytrack on April 16, Brilliant Speed lived up to his name. He rallied in deep stretch to win by a neck over Twinspired. He stopped the clock for the nine furlongs in 1:50.92.

Trained by Tom Albertrani, Brilliant Speed would later post a third to Ruler On Ice in the Belmont Stakes (G1). Then on to Saratoga where he was switched back over to the turf with winning results.

This time as the favorite, Brilliant Speed won the Saranac Stakes (G3) by two and a half lengths. His winning time for the nine furlongs was 1:48.73.

Brilliant Speed closed out his outstanding season with a second in the Jamaica Handicap (G1) and a third in the Breeders’ Cup Turf (G1). On two wins, three seconds and two thirds in nine starts, Brilliant Speed banked $1,022,000. By Dynaformer out of the Gone West mare Speed Succeeds, Brilliant Speed was named the 2011 Florida-bred champion 3-year-old colt.

Unbridled Humor, a 4-year-old filly by Distorted Humor out of the Unbridled mare Devotion Unbridled, tallied her initial career graded stakes win in 2011. On September 18, the Graham Motion trainee won the Noble Damsel Stakes (G3) by a length and three-quarters at Belmont Park. Her winning time for the mile turf test was 1:34.09. Prior to that milestone win, she had posted a second in the Athenia Stakes (G3). On the season, she earned $120,900.

I Am Awesome, a 6-year-old gelding by Awesome Again, won the Wheat City Stakes at Assiniboia Downs and Marathon Series Stakes at Turf Paradise.

Saintly Spirit won the Lady’s Secret Stakes at Les Bois Park and Slews Answer captured the Vinery Turf Classic Stakes at Tampa Bay Downs. Stradivinsky, still going strong at 8, won the Gulfstream Park Turf Sprint Stakes and Successful Song posted a win in the Bea Oxenberg Memorial Stakes at Calder. ■ MATT GOINS PHOTO

n energetic crowd turned out at Gulfstream Park in Hallandale Beach for the revamped Sunshine Millions program. The signature day of racing, traditionally pitted Florida-bred runners again their California-bred rivals. This year’s renewal was the first edition run with only Florida-breds at Gulfstream and California-breds at Santa Anita instead of the usual head-to-head contest.

The retooling of the Sunshine Millions, a collaborative effort between Gulfstream Park, the Florida Thoroughbred Breeders’ and Owners’Association and the Florida Horsemen’s Benevolent and Protective Association, did not deter from the quality on display at Gulfstream Park. In fact, the Jan. 28 renewal attracted a star-studded program featuring Eclipse Award winners Awesome Feather and Musical Romance, as well as Mucho Macho Man, one of only three runners to have competed in all three Triple Crown races last season.

The stars did not disappoint. Mucho Macho Man capped off a stellar day of racing with an authoritative score in the $400,000 Sunshine Millions Classic.

The popular Florida-bred scored the richest win of his career, rolling to victory in the $400,000 Sunshine Millions Classic for trainer Kathy Ritvo.

After winning the Risen Star Stakes (G2) at Fair Grounds last year at age three, Mucho Macho Man went on to finish

A

third in both the Louisiana Derby (G2) and the Kentucky Derby (G1). He competed in all three Triple Crown races over the summer, failing to hit the board in the Preakness (G1) and Belmont Stakes (G1).

He was given a long break to recover from the rigors of the Triple Crown and to grow into his lengthy frame and returned with a nearly six-length score in an optional claiming allowance race at Aqueduct in November with jockey Ramon Dominguez still as a statue in the irons the entire trip.

Mucho Macho Man tracked the early pace of Turbo Compressor down the backstretch. Around the far turn, Dominguez called on his mount for run and the leggy colt responded like a champ. He quickly accelerated away from his rivals and held the late charge of Ron the Greek at bay to win by 1¾ lengths.

“It was the absolute perfect trip. We were right outside the speed. He handled himself so well. He gave me the feeling every step of the way that whenever I was ready to ask, he was ready to go,” Dominguez said. “He gave me so much confidence. I was just a passenger today.”

“You can really tell how much he’s grown up since I rode him in the Belmont,” he added. “Back then, he was just a big skinny horse that had a lot of maturing to do. Now he looks like he’s grown up and has everything figured out.”

Bred by John and Carole Rio and owned by Reeves Thoroughbred Racing and Dream Team One Racing Stable, Mucho Macho Man, a son of former Florida sire Macho Uno, had been training in splendid fashion leading up to the Classic.

His final time for the 11⁄8 miles was a strong 1:47.91, less than a half of a second off the stakes record (1:47.49)

away from Tiz the Argument and opened up on the field.

Ears pricking back and forth, Awesome Feather crossed the wire 5¾ lengths ahead of a game Delightful Mary who crossed the wire a soundly-defeated second.

Sweet Repent finished third.

“I have so much confidence in her,” Sanchez said while walking back to the jockeys’room after unsaddling to a round of applause from adoring fans lining the winner’s circle. “She’s just so special to me. She’s the best horse I’ve ever ridden. She’s the best filly in the world.”

Sanchez has piloted Awesome Feather in all nine of her wins.

Trainer Chad Brown was equally impressed with his charge.

We were right outside the speed. He handled himself so well. He gave me the “ feeling every step of the way that whenever I was ready to ask, he was ready to go.

He gave me so much confidence. I was just a passenger today. ” —jockey Ramon Dominguez on Mucho Macho Man

set by Quality Road in 2010.

“Ramon did a great job. Everything has gone well since we started back with him. The race at Aqueduct was at the right time to get him going again and everything has gone right since then,” Ritvo said. “When he came up to that other horse (Turbo Compressor) I was confident he would go on from there.”

Ritvo took over the training of Mucho Macho Man last year when her husband, Tim, was named president and general manager of Gulfstream Park.

Runner-up Ron the Greek is a 5-year-old son of Hartley/De Renzo Thoroughbreds stallion Full Mandate. He was bred by Jack Hammer and is owned by Hammer, Brous Stable and Wachtel Stable.

Awesome Feather kicked off festivities with an impressive tally in the $300,000 Sunshine Millions Distaff.

She remained perfect in nine career starts with another sparkling win.

The daughter of Journeyman Stud stallion Awesome of Course pressured early pacesetter Tiz the Argument around the first turn and into the backstretch of the 1 1/8mile fixture. When jockey Jeff Sanchez asked Awesome Feather for her best negotiating the far turn, she powered

“She just hit another gear and it was over,” he said.

“I’m not sure we’ve ever seen every gear she’s got.”

Bred by Fred and Jane Brei’s Jacks or Better Farm, Awesome Feather swept the Florida Stallion Stakes Series at Calder in 2010 in the care of Calder-based trainer Stanley Gold before capping her juvenile season with an impressive victory in that year’s Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies (G1) at Churchill Downs. She added an Eclipse Award at season’s end to her long list of accomplishments.

Just days after that Breeders’ Cup score, Awesome Feather went through the auction ring in Kentucky and sold to Frank Stronach for $2.3 million. A tendon injury discovered late in her 2-year-old season put her racing career in jeopardy but the patience of her new owner and

trainer has paid off. Awesome Feather won her two previous races in Stronach’s colors, capturing the Le Slew Stakes at Belmont Park last October and the Gazelle Stakes (G1) in November at Aqueduct.

As for what’s next for the prized 4-year-old filly, Brown said the team is taking things one race at a time.

“We don’t have anything in particular in mind for her,” Brown said. “The biggest thing with her is to see how she comes back. We’ll talk to the Stronachs and see where we go. With her, it’s one race at a time.”

Awesome Feather’s win was certainly one for the home team. Stronach, owner of Gulfstream Park, created the Sunshine Millions 10 years ago in conjunction with the FloridaThoroughbred Breeders’and Owners’Association

Itʼs Me Mom easily won the Fillies and Mares Sprint

and the California Thoroughbred Breeders Association.

It’s Me Mom left little doubt as to who was best in the $150,000 Sunshine Millions Fillies and Mares Sprint. The fast daughter of Bridlewood Farm stallion Put It Back broke sharply under Willie Martinez. She set quick early fractions of :22.25 for the opening quarter and :44.41 for the half.

Her competition never really had a chance as she widened her advantage throughout. She crossed the wire 6¾ lengths in front of Honey Chile in second. Indulgence finished third. It’s Me Mom’s final time of 1:08.85 was just ticks off Big Drama’s track record of 1:08.12 set last year.

“We knew we’d be in front, that’s what she does,” said Willie Martinez. “There’s a difference between fast and brilliant speed and she has brilliant speed. To go in :22 today, that’s an accomplishment from how she was earlier in her career. She’s just a freak.”

Owned and bred by Jean and Thomas Bosch, It’s Me Mom had won her last two starts at Tampa Bay Downs by open lengths. She won an allowance race by 8 ¼ lengths on Dec. 7. She returned to annex the Minaret Stakes in Oldsmar last time out by the identical winning margin.

Trainer Lynn Scace has selected the right spots for It’s Me Mom throughout her charge’s14-race career.The 4-yearold chestnut has now won nine of those appearances. As a 2-year-old she won the Presque Isle Downs Debutante. In May of her 3-year-old season she won the Inaugural Stakes at Tampa, notched another stakes win at Presque Isle and

closed out her year with the two victories at Tampa.

“She took to the synthetic track early in her career and then I took her to Tampa and she finished second (in the Sandpiper Stakes), but I don’t really think she liked it (dirt) that much,” Scace said. “Then we brought her here and she finished fourth (Old Hat Stakes) early last year. I think the biggest difference between then and now is that she just grew up and matured. She also likes her races spaced out. We’ll take her back to Tampa now. I haven’t really thought much about what might be next.”

The Eclipse Award-winning filly Musical Romance, trained by Bill Kaplan, finished fourth, beaten 4¾ lengths after a slow start in her first race back since winning the Breeders’ Cup Filly and Mare Sprint (G1).

“Juan (Leyva) said she popped up leaving the gate.

She broke a little bad so he did the right thing once that happened,” said Kaplan. “It’s the first time something like this happened in her last nine starts. You don’t want to go chasing this early in the year when you give up five, six lengths like that.”

After the race, trainer Kaplan noticed she did not pull up the way he would have liked.

“She grabbed a quarter, left front, when the gate opened and her shoe was half off,” commented Kaplan. “She looks OK. I don’t think she’ll lose any training time. Considering what happened, we’re very proud of her performance.”

Soaring Stocks overcame a slow break and captured the $150,000 Sunshine Millions Sprint for his first stakes victory.

The 4-year-old son of former Florida sire Trippi bumped with Madman Diaries at the start, but jockey John Velazquez placed Soaring Stocks in a stalking position in third early without hustling his mount into contention. Coming out of the far turn, Velazquez had Soaring Stocks on the move. They collared pacesetter Royal Currier in the stretch and hit the wire just in front of a fast-charging Cajun Breeze, who split horses bravely inside the sixteenth pole while making his stakes debut.

Soaring Stocks stopped the clock in 1:09.49 for the six furlongs.

Soaring Stocks captured his first stakes victory in the Sprint.

“The race set up absolutely perfectly,” Velazquez said. “He broke fast enough to be not too far back and right in contention. I had to get busy on him a little earlier than I would have liked to the way the track is playing today but it didn’t seem to empty his tank. He had plenty left when I asked him.”

Soaring Stocks, an E. Paul Robsham Stables homebred, entered the Sprint off a two-length allowance win at Gulfstream on Jan. 12 for trainer Todd Pletcher, having raced in only one other allowance and two maiden special weight races.

“He came out of his last race so well we thought he was up to coming back in this spot,” Pletcher said. “This is a nice program for Florida-breds, but this race came up very tough. We’ve always thought he was a nice horse.”

Runner-up Cajun Breeze was impressive in defeat.

“I hauled her down here last night from Tampa. She doesn’t go anywhere without me. We were going to send her to the breeding shed, but we decided to try to have one more year of fun with her before that. I’ll take her back to Tampa and turn her out for 10 days and then we’ll go from there.”

Hooh Why is a 6-year-old daughter of former Florida sire Cloud Hopping. In her previous start, she finished second in the South Beach Stakes over the Gulfstream lawn on Dec. 11. Saturday’s win was the ninth from 36 career starts for the former Florida champion.

A record-setting 11 Florida-breds won Grade I races in 2011. All totaled, this elite group won 13 Grade I events. They won from coast-to-coast, on dirt, turf and Polytrack, from sprinting to a mile and beyond. It was a group that included two year olds to five year olds with both genders, as well as homebreds and sales horses, represented. Also among their numbers was both a 2010 and 2011 Eclipse champion, as well as seven 2011 Florida-bred divisional state champions.

Here’s a look at the 2011 Florida-bred Grade I winners.

By JOANN GUIDRY

■ AWESOME FEATHER Gazelle Stakes (G1) Awesome Feather, the 2010 Eclipse champion 2year-old filly and Florida-bred Horse of the Year, continued to live up to her name in 2011. As a juvenile, she was indeed awesome as she swept the filly division Florida-bred of the Florida Stallion Stakes, won the Breeders’ Cup Awesome Feather Juvenile Fillies (G1), became a millionaire and

60 THE FLORIDA HORSE • FEBRUARY 2012

Elite recorded an undefeated season. Bred and raced by Fred and Jane Brei’s Jacks Or Better Farm in 2010, Awesome Feather was sold for $2.3 million to Frank Stronach at the Fasig-Tipton Kentucky November sale.

Shortly thereafter, the little filly with a big heart suffered an injury and there was a question if she’d ever race again. And if she did, would she return as the same outstanding racehorse?

When Awesome Feather did return to competition in late 2011, she quickly answered that question. On October 5, now racing for Stronach Stables and trained by Chad Brown, Awesome Feather made her first start of the season in the Le Slew Stakes at Belmont Park. She hadn’t raced in nearly a year, since winning the 2010 BC Juvenile Fillies. But Awesome Feather made it look like she’d never been away from the races at all, cruising to a win by two lengths over Sentimental Lass. Her winning time for the seven furlongs was 1:22.76.

If there was still any lingering doubts that Awesome Feather was really back in top form after that win, she quickly remedied that in her next outing. And it wasn’t just another stakes start, but instead the Gazelle Stakes (G1) on November 26 at Aqueduct. Awesome Feather was up to the challenge, romping home the winner by five and a quarter lengths over Draw It. She clocked a winning time of 1:50.01 for the nine furlongs.

In those two wins, Awesome Feather banked a tidy $186,000. Undefeated in eight career starts through 2011, Awesome Feather has earned to date $1,681,746.

Awesome Feather is by Awesome of Course out of the Gone West mare Precious Feather. Jacks Or Better Farm bought Precious Feather privately as a yearling to race; she became a multiple stakes winner and graded stakes-placed earner of $257,441. In additon to Awesome Feather, she is also the dam of stakesplaced Brooks ‘n Down. Jacks Or Better Farm bred

and raced stakes winner Awesome of Course, who stands for his breeder at Brent and Crystal Fernung’s Journeyman Stud. Awesome of Course was the 2011 leading Florida juvenile sire.

■ BRILLIANT SPEED Blue Grass Stakes (G1) For his brilliant 2011 racing season, Brilliant Speed was named the Florida-bred champion 3-year-old colt. Charlotte Weber’s Live Oak Stud homebred displayed a gifted versatility, winning graded stakes on both the Polytrack surface and the turf, while also being graded-stakes placed on the dirt. Along the way, he also became a Grade I millionaire.

On the turf, Brilliant Speed was second in the Dania Beach Stakes and Hallandale Beach Stakes turf at Gulfstream Park. Then trainer Tom Albertrani shipped the Florida-bred bay Dynaformer colt to Keeneland for the Blue Grass Brilliant Speed

Stakes (G1) on the Polytrack synthetic surface. Unfazed by the surface change, Brilliant Speed closed with a rush to win by a nose over Twinspired. He covered the nine furlongs in 1:50.92. The Blue Grass Stakes victory earned Brilliant Speed a start in the Kentucky Derby (G1), where he finished seventh to Animal Kingdom in the traffic-jam, 19-horse field. After bypassing the shorter Preakness Stakes (G1), Brilliant Speed’s next start would come in the Belmont Stakes (G1). He rallied at the top of the stretch over a very sloppy track and finished a good third to Ruler On Ice. It was a switch back to the turf at Saratoga. As the favorite in the Saranac Stakes (G3) on September 4, Brilliant Speed won by two and a half lengths with Queen’splatekitten second and King Congie third. Winning time for the nine furlongs was 1:48.73.

Next up for Brilliant Speed was a second by a length to Western Aristocrat on the turf in the Jamaica Handicap (G1) at Belmont Park. He would close out his outstanding season with a third to St. Nicolas Abbey (Ire) in the Breeders’ Cup Turf (G1) on November 5 at Churchill Downs. In nine outings on the year, Brilliant Speed posted two graded stakes wins and was stakesplaced five times to earn $1,022,000.

Brilliant Speed is out of the Gone West mare Speed Succeeds, who was bought by Weber’s Live Oak PlantaFlorida-bred tion for $1.45 million at the 2002 Keeneland September Coil yearling sale. Unraced, Speed Succeeds was sold by Live

Oak, through Warrendale Sales, agent, for $42,000 to Hill ‘n’Dale Farm at the 2010 Keeneland January mixed sale. The last foal out of Speed Succeeds for Live Oak Stud was Souper Speedy, a 2009 colt by Indian Charlie.

■ COIL Haskell Invitational (G1) Although Ocala-based Glen Hill Farm, the breeder of Coil, operates primarily as a breed-to-race operation, the farm will occasionally sell a racehorse if the opportunity is right. Such was the case when Florida-bred Coil was sold privately following a third-place finish in his first career outing in late 2010. It proved to be a good deal for all concerned. Partners Karl Watson, Mike Pegram and Paul Weitman ended up with a bona fide racehorse and Glen Hill Farm notched another Grade I winner as a breeder.

Coil began earning his keep as a three year old in 2011. On June 11, the Bob Baffert trainee tallied his first graded stakes win with a one-length score in the Affirmed Handicap (G3) at Hollywood Park. Runflatout was second with Spud Spivens finishing third. Winning time for the eight and a half furlongs was 1:42.88. Coil then followed that win by finishing second by a head to Dreamy Kid in the Swaps Stakes (G2) on July 9 at Hollywood Park.

Three weeks later, Coil earned elite status as a Grade I winner. Shipped to Monmouth Park for the Haskell

vitational (G1), Coil delivered an eye-brow raising triumph. He rallied from last to win by a neck over Preakness Stakes (G1) winner Shackleford with Belmont Stakes (G1) victor Ruler On Ice third. Coil’s winning time for the nine furlongs was 1:48.20.

Coil closed out the season with a third to Game On Dude in the Goodwood Stakes (G1) on October 1 at Santa Anita. On the year, he posted three wins, one second and one third to earn $755,200.

By Point Given, Coil is out of the Theatrical (Ire) mare Eversmile, a half-sister to multiple Grade I stakes winner and champion Possibly Perfect. Glen Hill Farm purchased Eversmile for $275,000 at the 2002 Keeneland September yearling sale. Eversmile broke her maiden before joining the Glen Hill Farm broodmare band; Coil was her second foal. Eversmile was bred to Kitten’s Joy for 2012.

■ CURRENCY SWAP Hopeful Stakes (G1)

COGLIANESE PHOTO

It was a short but successful 2011 season for Currency Swap. Bred by Bill and Cindy Nassal’s Ocalabased Stonecliff Farm, Currency Swap became a Grade I winner in but his second career start. An impressive feat by any measure, but particularly in Thoroughbred racing.

Currency Swap, a 2009 colt by High Cotton out of the Pine Bluff mare Echo Bluff, announced his racing

talent in his first start and in a big way. Owned by Seth Klarman’s Klaravich Stables and William Lawrence, Currency Swap rolled to a six-length maiden victory on August 6 at Saratoga. Finishing second was Africanist with Takes the Gold third. Winning time for the six and a half furlongs was 1:17.02.

Emboldened by that win, trainer Teresa Pompay next saddled Currency Swap in the Hopeful Stakes (G1) on September 5 at Saratoga. And Currency Swap earned another trip to the winner’s circle. This time, he won by three-quarters of a length over Trinniberg with Big Blue Nation taking third. Over a sloppy track, Currency Swap’s winning time was 1:26.16 for the seven furlongs.

The Hopeful Stakes win brought his season earnings to $180,000.

In winning the Hopeful Stakes, Currency Swap became the first stakes winner and first Grade I winner bred by the Nassals’ Stonecliff Farm. He also became the first Grade I winner for trainer Pompay.

Consigned by Summerfield, agent for Stonecliff Farm, Currency Swap sold for $42,000 to Breakwater Farm at the 2009 Ocala Breeders’ Sales Company’s October mixed sale. Then at the 2010 Fasig-Tipton Kentucky July yearling sale, the colt was consigned by Nick de Meric, agent, sold for $70,000 to Four Star Stable, agent, for Klaravich Stable and William Lawrence.

The Nassals bought Echo Bluff, the dam of Currency Florida-bred Swap, as an unraced three year old for $4,500 at the Currency Swap

She is also a half-sister to graded-stakes placed Nacho Friend and stakes-placed Yachats. Echo Bluff’s 2010 foal, named Dirt Candy, is a full sister to Currency Swap and was sold privately by the Nassals.

High Cotton, the sire of Currency Swap, was the 2011 leading Florida freshman sire. A graded stakes winner, High Cotton stands at Ocala Stud.

■ FIRST DUDE Hollywood Gold Cup Handicap (G1) There never was much doubt that First Dude was an outstanding racehorse. As a three year old in 2010, he was graded stakes-placed six times, including five in Grade I events. The latter included a second in the Preakness Stakes (G1) with thirds in the Belmont Stakes (G1), Haskell Invitational Stakes (G1), Travers Stakes (G1) and Blue Grass Stakes (G1). First Dude’s outstanding efforts were duly recognized as Don Dizney’s Florida-bred homebred was named the 2010 Florida-bred champion First Dude 3-year-old colt.

64 THE FLORIDA HORSE • FEBRUARY 2012

As a four year old in 2011, First Dude rewarded everyone’s faith in him by winning a pair of graded stakes, including that all-important Grade I. And the Stephen Got Even colt made each victory a thrilling one right up until the finish line.

In the Alysheba Stakes (G3) on May 6 at Churchill Downs, First Dude closed with a rush on the far outside to score a nose win over Regal Ransom. The latter was only a head better than third-place finisher Equestrio.

First Dude winning time for the mile and one-sixteenth was 1:42.56. And the winner’s share of the purse also made First Dude an equine millionaire.

In his next start in the Hollywood Gold Cup Handicap (G1) on July 9, First Dude was coupled with his aptly-named stablemate Game On Dude. And indeed, the race proved to be a battle of the two dudes. Once again, First Dude made it a dramatic win as he came charging on the outside again in the stretch to best Game On Dude by a nose. Game On Dude was but a neck better than race favorite Twirling Candy. Winning time for the 10 furlongs was 2:01.57. First Dude closed out the season with three wins in five starts to bank $581,980.

First Dude is out of the stakes-placed Smart Strike mare Run Sarah Run. She is also the dam of stakes win-

ner Via Veneto. Run Sarah Run produced a 2010 Dixie Union colt and was barren in 2011.

Retired shortly after his Hollywood Gold Cup Handicap (G1) win, First Dude has a lifetime bankroll of $1,442,140. First Dude entered stud in 2012 at Dizney’s Ocala-based Double Diamond Farm.

■ TURBULENT DESCENT Santa Anita Oaks (G1) & Test Stakes (G1)

Page 65

This time she cruised to a five-length win over Honey Chile, clocking 1:26.12 for the seven furlongs. Next stop was the Acorn Stakes (G1) on June 11 at Belmont Park, where Turbulent Descent finished second to It’s Tricky.

But Turbulent Descent, raced by Scott Sherwood’s Blinkers On Racing Stable and Partners, had her sights set another Grade I win. Her chance came in the Test Stakes (G1) on August 6, where she beat sister Floridabred Pomeroys Pistol by three and three-quarters length.

Her winning time for the seven furlongs was 1:24.17.

Turbulent Descent wrapped up her season with three wins, two seconds and one third in seven starts to earn $530,000.

Ocala Stud bought the unraced Forestry mare Roger’s Sue, the dam of Turbulent Descent, for $105,000 at the 2004 Keeneland November mixed sale. She was in foal at the time to Golden Missile. Ocala Stud sold Turbulent Descent for $160,000 to Sherwood’s Blinkers On Racing Stable at the 2010 OBS April juvenile sale.

Ocala Stud later sold Roger’s Sue privately to SF Bloodstock and she had a 2011 In Summation colt.

Congrats, the sire of Turbulent Descent, previously stood at Vinery Florida before being relocated to Vin- Florida-bred ery Kentucky.

Turbulent Descent

COGLIANESE PHOTO

Already a Grade I winner as a juvenile, Turbulent Descent added another pair of Grade I victories to her resume as a three year old. That was more than enough to secure the 2011 Florida-bred champion 3-year-old filly title.

As if winning another Grade I event was not impressive enough, Turbulent Descent did it in record-setting fashion. On March 5, the Ocala Stud-bred filly bested Zazu by a neck in the Santa Anita Oaks (G1). In doing so, she set a stakes-record time of 1:41.05 for the eight and a half furlongs. The previous stakes record for the race, known then as the Santa Susana Stakes, was 1:41 1/5 set by Hall of Famer Bold ‘n Determined.

Trainer Mike Puype then shipped Turbulent Descent to Keeneland for the Beaumont Stakes (G2) on April 17.

FLAT OUT

Jockey Club Gold Cup (G1)

Flat Out makes a good case for aging like fine wine. After winning only one stakes and earning a little more than $100,000 in his first three seasons of racing, Flat Out came into his own in 2011. He posted two graded stakes wins, including a Grade I, notched four graded-stakes placings and became a millionaire. Those accomplishments also led to Flat Out being named the 2011 Florida-bred champion older male.

Kicking off the season with a second to Awesome Gem in the Lone Star Park Handicap (G3) on May 30, Flat Out signaled an outstanding season was ahead. And sure enough, the Preston Stables colorbearer would soon score his first career graded stakes win. On July 2 at Belmont Park, Flat Out captured the Suburban Handicap (G2) by a convincing six and a half furlongs over Hymn Book. Winning time for the nine furlongs was 1:46.64.

Trainer Charles “Scooter” Dickey then shipped the Nikolaus Bock-bred Flat Out to Saratoga, where he posted a pair of Grade I runner-up finishes. Flat Out first finished second to Tizway in the Whitney Invitational Handicap (G1). He followed that with a second to evenFlorida-bred tual 2011 Horse of theYear Havre de Grace in the WoodFlat Out ward Stakes (G1).

66 THE FLORIDA HORSE • FEBRUARY 2012

Finally at Belmont Park, Flat Out got that elusive Grade I win. On October 1, he convincingly won the Jockey Club Gold Cup Stakes (G1) by two and a quarter lengths. Finishing second was Belmont Stakes (G1) winner Drosselmeyer while Travers Stakes (G1) winner Stay Thirsty was third. Flat Out clocked a winning time of 2:03.17 for the 10 furlongs.

Flat Out wrapped up the year with a third to Wise Dan in the Clark Handicap (G1) on November 25. In eight starts on the season, Flat Out banked $1,195,283.

Consigned by Thoroughstock, agent, Flat Out was sold as weanling for $11,000 to Picturesque Farm at the 2006 OBS October mixed sale. He was then consigned

by Bluewater Sales,agent, to the 2007 Fasig-Tipton July yearling sale, where he purchased by current owner Art Preston for $85,000.

By Flatter, Flat Out is out of Cresta Lil, by Cresta Rider. Breeder Nicolaus Bock bought Cresta Lil while she was carrying Flat Out for $5,000 at the 2005 Keeneland November mixed sale from Clairborne Farm, agent. Cresta Lil, in foal to Anasheed, was then consigned by Thoroughstock, agent, and sold for $3,500 to A. Renee McCollum at the 2006 OBS October mixed sale. Later acquired privately by Michael and Judy Crowe, Cresta Lil’s last foal was Prairie Wildcat, a 2008 Wildcat Heir filly.

■ MUSICAL ROMANCE Breeders’ Cup Filly & Mare Sprint (G1)

BREEDERSʼ CUP LIMITED PHOTO

When all the racing was done in 2011, Musical Romance emerged as one of the year’s best racehorses. She rolled to five stakes wins, including the Breeders’ Cup Filly & Mare Sprint (G1), on her way to becoming a millionaire. Musical Romance was then honored as the Florida-bred champion older female and female sprinter. She also collected an Eclipse Award as the champion female sprinter. An outstanding racing season by any measure.

Musical Romance began the season by winning the Ema Bovary Stakes, U Can Do It Handicap and Barb’s Dancer Stakes at her Calder Race Course home base. She also posted a second by a neck to Sassy Image in the Princess Rooney Handicap (G1) before shipping to Presque Isle Downs in northern Pennsylvania. Taking to the change of venue, Musical Romance scored a neck win over favored Ariana D in the Presque Isle Downs Masters Stakes (G2) on September 10. In winning her first graded stakes, Musical Romance covered the the six and a half furlongs in 1:16.40.

In the Thoroughbred Club of America Stakes (G2) at Keeneland on October 8, Musical Romance was second by a mere head to Holiday for Kitten. That effort and her outstanding season to date led the Pinnacle Racing Stable partnership to supplement Musical Romance for $130,000 to the BC Filly & Mare Sprint (G1) on November 4 at Churchill Downs.

It proved to be money well-spent as Musical Romance rallied three-wide coming into the stretch, angled to the rail and drew clear to win by a length and a quarter. With the winner’s share of $540,000, Musical Romance boosted her seasonal earnings to $1,040,734.

By the deceased Concorde’s Tune out of multiple graded stakes-producer Candlelight Dinner, by Slew Gin Fizz, Musical Romance was bred and sold by Ocala Stud, J. Michael O’Farrell Jr., president. Musical Romance sold for $22,000 at the 2009 OBS April juvenile sale to Bill Kaplan, agent for Pinnacle Racing Stable. Founded by managing partner Adam Lazarus, nine members of the Miami-based Pinnacle Racing Stable and Kaplan own Musical Romance.

Kaplan also trains Musical Romance.

In addition to Musical Romance, Ocala Stud-bred Candlelight Dinner is also the dam of Florida-bred stakes winner Vuelve Ruben M. Candlelight Dinner had a 2010 Montbrook colt, a 2011 Montbrook filly and was bred to Circular Quay for 2012.

JACKSON BEND

Forego Stakes (G1)

COGLIANESE PHOTO

Jackson Bend has no quit in him. The small but gutsy 4-year-old colt gives his all every time out and is a racing fan’s favorite. The Hear No Evil colt, who swept the 2009 Florida Stallion Stakes, was winless in 2010 on his way to posting four graded-stakes placings. But in 2011, Jackson Bend returned to his winning ways and was named the Florida-bred champion male sprinter.

Jackson Bend got warmed up with a second to S.S. Stone in the Skip Away Stakes (G3) on April 3 at Gulfstream Park. He followed that with a third to Motovato in the Memorial Day Handicap on Calder.

Trainer Nick Zito then shipped the colt owned by Robert LaPenta and Fred Brei to Saratoga, where the winner’s circle awaited. In the James Marvin Stakes on July 22, Jackson Bend tallied a win by two and a half lengths over Hamazing Destiny. His winning time for the seven furlongs was 1:20.91. It was a sign of what was to come. On September 3 at Saratoga, Jackson Bend finally won his initial graded stakes after 11 tries. But it was well worth the wait as he captured the Forego Stakes (G1) by three and a quarter lengths over Jersey Twon with fellow Florida-bred Florida-bred Aikenite third. Jackson Bend clocked a winJackson Bend ning time of 1:22.08 for the seven furlongs.

A month later, Jackson Bend was second to 2010 Eclipse champion Uncle Mo in the Kelso Handicap (G2). He wrapped up an outstanding season with a third to Amazombie in the Breeders’ Cup Sprint (G1). On the season, Jackson Bend tallied two wins, two seconds and two thirds in eight starts to bank $422,000 and by the end of the year, he had career earnings of $1,250,950.

DENVER PHOTO PHOTO

Teaks North can be considered an overachiever. In 2011, he posted not one, but two Grade I victories, and became a millionaire as well. Teaks North was also named the Florida-bred champion turf male for his outstanding season.

Bred by J.D. And Phyllis Bryant’s BryLynn Farm, Teaks North wasted little time in getting the season off to a sensational start. On February 5, the 4-year-old Northern Afleet gelding bested Smart Bid by a nose in the Gulfstream Park Turf Handicap (G1). His winning time for the nine furlongs over the turf was 1:46.39. With the win, Teaks North posted his his first career graded stakes and Grade I stakes win as well.

Come summertime, Teaks North was logging his second graded stakes win. In the Monmouth Stakes (G3) on June 12, the Justin Sallusto trainee closed strongly in the final furlong to win by three-quarters of a length over Sleepless Knight. Odds on favorite Get Stormy finished third. Teaks North,who races for Jules Boutelle, clocked 1:48.56 for the nine-furlong turf test.

9:45 AM

Page 69

But the best was yet to come. On July 2 in the United Nations Stakes (G1), Teaks North kicked into another gear in the midstretch and tallied his second Grade I career win. He won by half a length over Chinchon (Ire) with Stacelita (Fr) coming in third.

Winning time for the 11 furlongs was 2:13.28.

On eight starts with three graded stakes wins, Teaks North banked $817,564 on the season. By the end of the year, he had career earnings of $1,001,964.

The Bryants and Martha Fisher raced Teaks North early in his career. After being sold privately, he then raced for Boutelle and Nick Sallusto in partnership with Joe Bulger. In August 2010, Teaks North began racing solely for Boutelle.

Teaks North is out of the deceased unraced High Honors mare Teaksberry Road, who was acquired privately by BryLynn Farm. In addition to Teaks North, Teaksberry Road is also the dam of Grade II stakes winner Wooden Phone, as well as stakes winners Chief Oki Dokie and Teak Totem. Teaks North was the last foal produced by Teaksberry Road, who died in 2009. Stakes winner Teak Totem, a full sister to Teaks North, is a member of the BryLynn Farm broodmare band. Teak Totem is the dam of Florida-bred graded stakes winner Adios Charlie and stakes-placed Florida-bred Streakin’ Mohican. ■ Teaks North

Your

FLORIDA HORSE PARK

Good, Clean, Family Fun.

JoinUs? ave you ever addressed a group of people with an important message that you really cared about? Ever get a few butterflies in the pit of your stomach while thinking about the sheer gravity of those moments?

It’s interesting that we are taught, from an early age, to present information to new audiences with a tried-and-true formula: Tell ‘em what you’ll tell ‘em.

Tell ‘em.

Tell ‘em what you told ‘em.

And as you well know, the formula is effective.

On Jan. 30, I was invited to Tallahassee and the Florida Capitol offices with representation from the Foundation for the Florida Horse Park and the Florida Agriculture Center and Horse Park to formally address the Florida Senate Agriculture Committee, the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services and the Governor’s Budget Office.

Our role in Tallahassee? To share the good, clean, family message of the Florida Agriculture Center and Horse Park. To share data gleaned from the Florida Agriculture and Horse Park’s current massive economic impact on Florida’s bottom line.

To share facts from our ongoing contribution to human wellness, environmental preservation, green space and overall good, clean, family fun.

Today as I write – to be 100% transparent regarding state, county and federal budgets – we don’t fully know all details and pressures reaching lawmakers and decision makers throughout Florida and the U.S. We don’t know exactly when the Florida Agriculture Center and Horse Park’s considerable influence will be fully understood and eventually funded as many other state Parks have experienced.

What we do know is that the Florida Agricul-

H

ture Center and Horse Park is a major contributor to Florida’s economy, to Florida’s major ecotourism and agri-tourism base, and to the potential overall wellness of all taxpayers.

Right now, it’s timely to move this project to the forefront of the economic resurgence of Florida with state, corporate and private funding for operations and facilities. The Foundation’s mission is to collaborate with sources of revenue to noticeably ramp up our efforts and capitalize on additional opportunities.

On Jan. 30, as we wrapped up a highly successful presentation to the Florida Senate’s Committee on Agriculture, Senator Siplin (Chair of the Committee) asked for clarification: “Did you say the Florida equine industry is a $5.1 billion industry?”

Yes, sir, for sure, it is, we responded. As big of an industry as fashion and entertainment…and many, many others that pop up on the mainstream evening news.

Maybe we have been flying under the radar a little too much as we work hard to represent Florida’s agricultural and equine industries. It’s food for thought, and we’re thinking about it.

We love the formula mentioned above (tell what you’ll tell, tell it, tell what ya told)…but most importantly, we’d like to show you. So come on out to the Florida Agriculture Center and Horse Park.

We’re in this for the long haul, and we’d love to have you join us. ■ Most sincerely, Connie Duff Wise President, Foundation for the Florida Horse Park

FLORIDA NEWS Celebrating the life and times of one of the 20th Century’s most eminent athletes.

A Secretariat Special n Saturday, Feb. 25, GoldMark Farm, LLC, in Ocala, Fla., will host a historical evening gala celebrating the life and times of one of the 20th Century’s most eminent athletes – Secretariat.

Though much has been written about this Triple Crown legend, and a Disney movie about him was released in 2010, the complete story of Secretariat’s birthplace and the Chenery family who raised and raced him has never been told…until now. And a Kate Chenery is telling it.

Secretariat’s Meadow – The Land, The Family, The Legend is the story of how author Kate Chenery Tweedy’s mother, Penny, and grandfather, Christopher T. Chenery, came to breed and race the horse many call the most perfect racehorse we will ever see. Three years in the making, this book, co-authored with Virginia writer Leeanne Meadows Ladin, tells not only Secretariat’s story but the saga of an enduring piece of land where an “empire built on broodmares” produced an immortal son.

Penny Chenery wrote the foreword to Secretariat’s Meadow and shared over 200 exclusive photos from her private collection for the 160-page pictorial history. Chapters describe Chris Chenery’s climb from rags to riches; the early champions of Meadow Stable such as Hill Prince and Cicada; how Derby winner Riva Ridge saved The Meadow from auction; the forgotten stories of the AfricanAmerican grooms who helped raise Secretariat, and much more.

The narrative is enriched by Kate Tweedy’s vivid recollections of The Meadow as a child, her access to family papers and her eyewitness account of the magic and the mayhem surrounding her mother and “Big Red” during the Triple Crown races in 1973.

The back cover of the book features endorsements by

O

Diane Lane, the award-winning actress who plays Penny Chenery in the movie Secretariat, jockey Ron Turcotte, exercise rider Jim Gaffney, author Bill Nack, racing historian Ed Bowen and Dell Hancock of Claiborne Farm.

The Feb. 25 event is a benefit for the Foundation for the Florida Horse Park, a 501 c3 not-for-profit corporation. ■

IF YOU GO Attendees at the Feb. 25 event at GoldMark in northwest Ocala will receive their own custom-autographed Secretariat’s Meadow book and personal time with Chenery Tweedy, a custom one-hour lecture with the author, live music, exquisite hors d’oeuvres and cocktails, tours, and one-one one time with famed artists. A limited number of tickets are available for $150 each. Please call (352) 307-6699, ext. 8.

FARM MANAGEMENT

The Benefits of a Sacrifice Paddock ecently, I visited a lovely farm that utilized a “sacrifice paddock”. This is a small, fenced-in part of the farm that is heavily used, causing it to become bare, thus allowing the rest of the farm to maintain good grass. I have come across other farms utilizing a similar area and, although it is not often discussed, a sacrifice paddock can be beneficial to the horse, the farm and the environment.

Horses are often confined in sacrifice areas due to situations like: allowing limited grazing for the health of the animal, saving pasture grass, or perhaps because the horse is living out due to recovery from an injury, where rest and limited turnout is required. This paddock can also be beneficial for bad-footed horses that need to be kept off the morning dew. Often times, roofed, but open structures (usually called “loafing pens”) are also built in the sacrifice area, allowing for cover from the harsh sun and/or rain.

R

Horses are often confined in sacrifice areas due to situations like: allowing limited grazing for the health of the animal, saving pasture grass, or perhaps because the horse is living out due to recovery from an injury, where rest and limited turnout is required.

Regardless of the reason, the sacrifice area can actually be the “greenest” part of the farm, if managed properly, so if an interest in setting-up a pasture well suited for this purpose arises, first determine the lay of the farm’s land. The area should be kept far from any natural water bodies and placed in a high, dry location. As any remaining grass will be eliminated quickly because of excessive wear and grazing, , if the pocketbook allows, mixing in additional footing, like old, recycled and shredded rubber, or some other material is a good consideration. However, if this is not a possibility, there shouldn’t be any serious repercussions because Florida gets only limited amounts of “mud”. Still, careful management will be essential to eliminating a big mess and creating future excessive runoff. If composting is done on-site, the composted material can also be used to mix in with the soil. Adding compost will help take up water and stop some unwanted drainage and erosion.

If the sacrifice paddock will be near the barn, be sure that any rain gutters or roof runoff doesn’t drain directly onto the bare ground because the rain will be definitely cause erosion and sediment to wash into the aquifer during any typical Florida storm. Planting additional ground cover around the sacrifice paddock can do a great job in helping to alleviate potential runoff; grass, trees and shrubs, or any vegetation should be acceptable; it’s just important to help keep the loose dirt and footing in the paddock so it won’t all be washed away, leaving the farm with a mess and an unusable area that may end up being expensive and difficult to fix.

Planting native plants is highly recommended because they will do the best job for the farm. Not only are they already acclimated to Florida’s climate, they often tend to be drought-tolerant, important during the long, dry periods. Native plants also resist Florida’s pests, further helping to reduce any additional fertilizer and/or pesticide requirements. And an added bonus of the newly added trees, shrubs and plants is that it may promote native birds by providing a source of food, cover and a nesting ground for young. Your neighbors will also thank you for not creating lots of runoff onto their farms.

Once the sacrifice area is ready, it can be easily maintained and be kept fresh by picking manure regularly out of the paddock. Frequent dragging and/or rolling will also help to maintain the paddock’s footing. Installing a hay bin, (which should be moved around often) allows horses to eat off of the sand and to mimic a natural pattern of the animals often nibbling small meals.

Go ahead and try a sacrifice paddock on your farm.

The grass, horses and water will thank you. As always, keep up the good management practices!

HORSE COUNCIL NEWS

American Horse Council Explains Changes in Tax Benefits for Horse Owners

Congress passed an extension of the payroll tax reductions in late December maintaining the 2 percent reduction in payroll taxes for workers and the self-employed. The relief is good for two months through February, 2012. Negotiations are already underway between the House and Senate to find a way to extend payroll tax relief through 2012.

But the bill ultimately passed by Congress did not extend the Section 179 expense deduction or 100 percent bonus depreciation at the 2011 levels. Both provisions have returned to prior lower levels.

SECTION 179 EXPENSE DEDUCTION

The expense deduction has returned to $125,000 for 2012 and phases out dollar-fordollar once purchases of depreciable property reach $500,000. The 179 expense deduction applies to horses, farm equipment and other depreciable property used in a business and permits a horse owner or breeder to write-off up to $125,000 in assets purchased and placed in service in one’s horse business in 2012.

The expense allowance for 2010-2011 was $500,000 and phased out after purchases exceeded $2 million.

BONUS DEPRECIATION

In addition, bonus depreciation has returned to 50 percent for 2012. Bonus depreciation allows horse owners and other horse businesses to write off 50 percent of the cost of “new” capital assets, including horses, when purchased and placed in service in 2012.To be eligible for bonus depreciation the original use of the property must commence with the taxpayer. Any prior use makes the property ineligible.

Bonus depreciation was 100 percent for eligible assets purchased and placed in service from Sept. 8, 2010 through 2011.

Both provisions can be used together.

RETROACTIVE CHANGE IS POSSIBLE

“It is possible that the higher levels could be reinstated retroactively to Jan. 1, 2012. In fact, the House-passed payroll-tax bill extended 100 percent bonus depreciation through

2012, even though the Senate bill did not,” said AHC president Jay Hickey. “The negotiations between now and the end of February on the one-year extension of the payroll tax reduction could include other changes to the tax code, such as the expense deduction or bonus depreciation. But this is speculation at this point.”

American Horse Council’s 2012 Immigration Reform Outlook Despite substantial efforts to recruit and train U.S. workers, horse farms, ranches, horse shows, trainers and others must rely on foreign workers and use both the H-2B and H-2A temporary foreign worker programs to meet their labor needs. For this reason immigration polices have a profound impact on the horse industry.

In 2011 numerous bills were introduced in the 112th Congress concerning immigration, most enforcement oriented. Most notably, Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee Lamar Smith (R-TX) introduced the Legal Workforce Act (H.R.2885), which would require all employers to use the federal E-verify system to make sure their workers are authorized to work. The House Judiciary Committee held hearings on this bill and reported it out of committee on Sept. 21.

“In the Summer and Fall we saw a lot of ac80 THE FLORIDA HORSE • FEBRUARY 2012

tion in Congress on immigration. Committees in both the House and Senate held numerous hearings and the House Judiciary Committee approved a mandatory E-verify bill. Since then however, there has been little movement on the issue because even Members of Congress who are in favor of beefing up enforcement and passing mandatory E-verify can’t agree on the best way to proceed,” saidAHC Legislative Director Ben Pendergrass.

In response to concerns that mandatory E-verify would cripple the U.S. agricultural industry, several bills, such as the American Specialty Agriculture Act (H.R.2847) and the Legal Agricultural Workforce Act (H.R.2895), were introduced. These bills would create new, less burdensome temporary foreign agricultural worker programs to replace the current H-2A program. However, no consensus emerged on which of the

many proposals on the table would best accommodate the needs of agriculture.

“It is absolutely vital for the horse industry to have access to functioning, efficient, and cost effective foreign temporary worker programs to meet its labor needs and the horse industry can not support any bill unless it provides for those needs,” said AHC President Jay Hickey. “We would like Congress to reform our system in a comprehensive way. However, as we enter another election year it is unlikely Congress will have much of a desire to deal with a hotbutton issue like immigration.”

“It is likely more immigration bills will be introduced in 2012 and there maybe action taken on specific issues like the H-2B wage rule, but right now it doesn’t look like Congress will take action on major legislation like mandatory E-verify,” said Pendergrass.

Story Lines aving been disappointed by every recent, overhyped attempt to bring racing to screens great and small, I was prepared to dislike “Luck,” HBO’s much-anticipated series that debuted in late January.

Appreciation of film is a matter of taste and perspective. Movies based upon the lives of Seabiscuit, Secretariat and Ruffian, all studies in overly romanticized, saccharine revisionist history, were in the main warmly received within the glass-half-full faction of the racing community despite glaring, at times jaw-dropping departures from reality and

by Paul Moran a disregard for the detail behind which devils lurk. An uncomfortable juxtaposition of fiction and reality is, apparently, easily disregarded in the name of entertainment. This besmirched “Secretariat.” “Seabiscuit,” the movie, was at times just silly and Ruffian was often truly absurd.

Though they have been methodically seized in recent decades by corporations and the mindset of accountants, the sport and the racetrack remain fertile bastions of the colorful character in its many diverse forms. Most of the best tales are related by word of mouth and live only in memory – great scores, surgical larceny, serendipity and

The written record of racing history may be rich, but unrecorded history is far more interesting, the plotlines written in the lives of people who have chosen the racing life. All great fiction is rooted in reality and this is why “Luck” works so well.

“Luck” succeeds largely because of the participants in its authorship. David Milch, its creator, is a life-long horseplayer, self-described “degenerate gambler,” an owner with a litany of writing credits beneath his byline and a man with a firm grasp of the dark side and others who contributed to the creative process. Milch brought together a group well versed and thoroughly steeped in the racing life and a core of accomplished actors led by Dustin Hoffman and Nick Nolte, for former in the role of a volatile, aging ambitious ex-convict mobster, the latter a trainer known as “The Old Man,” a character loosely based on Jack Van Berg without the dry sense of humor.

82 THE FLORIDA HORSE • FEBRUARY 2012

With story lines that embrace horseplayers, four of whom make a memorable, seven-figure pick-six score in the premier episode, trainers, veterinarians, jockeys, a decidedly unlikable jockey’s agent, exercise riders, executives and an assortment of peripheral figures including a hapless security guard, the product brings together the opaque darkness and dedicated self-destruction of Milch’s acclaimed series, “Deadwood,” and the fragile optimism that is the undercurrent of life at the racetrack played out against the natural beauty of Santa Anita Park.

It is exactly this collection of characters and confluence of plotline that make “Luck” so compelling, particularly for those whose lives have been spent in the racing business – we have all met people like this.

“I had no sense of any particular story,” Milch said in an interview with Hitfix just before the premier aired. “I had a collection of characters that compelled my imagination, but in my experience that’s all that you ever have.

And the process of witnessing the unfolding mystery is the process of telling the story in the same way I watched [director Michael Mann] engage those materials like an athlete. It’s kind of sometimes you’re wrestling with them, sometimes you’re seducing them. For me, I’m never going to understand horse racing and I couldn’t begin to tell a linear story about it. It’s just a collection of experiences I’m trying to report.”

Those of sufficient seniority remember the dark, nonfiction stories that rocked the racing world in times past.

We’ve also witnessed the fairytales of Seattle Slew and Affirmed. We’ve all encountered those who color outside the lines and others who toil in hope of finding the big horse or the gambling score that will alter a life. We live and work in a cauldron in which brews a stew of the hopeful and the desperate and we can imagine nothing else. There is something real and familiar about the characters Milch has fashioned in “Luck” and that is what makes the series so good. These are people we know.

It is doubtful that “Luck” will create a groundswell of neophyte interest in racing, but for those whose lifetimes are immersed in this world, it is a groundbreaking piece or work – a collection of rich stories and refreshing authenticity and has escaped prior attempts to capture the essential life force of the racetrack. ■
