2012 NEEDLES AWARD

JOHN & CAROLE RIO

COURTESY OF THE RIO’S

The 2012 Needles Award was presented to John and Carole Rio, who were represented as breeders by 2012 Florida-bred multiple graded stakes winner Mucho Macho Man. The Rios were also honored with the 2011 Needles Award. The Needles Award was established by the FTBOA to honor Florida breeders who own small Thoroughbred operations and have made outstanding contributions to the Florida Thoroughbred industry.

Mucho Macho Man, who stands 17 hands, is a tough horse to overlook both for his size and his talent. A 2008 colt by Macho Uno out of the Ponche mare Ponche de Leona, Mucho Macho Man kicked off the season in winning fashion. On January 28 at Gulfstream Park, he bested fellow Florida-bred Ron the Greek by a length and a half in the Florida Sunshine Millions Classic. His next visit to the winner's circle came after winning the Gulfstream Park Handicap (G2) on March 10 by two lengths over fellow Florida-bred Tackleberry.

Trainer Kathy Ritvo next saddled Mucho Macho Man in the Suburban Handicap (G2) on July 7 at Belmont Park. This time the big bay colt notched a win by two and a half lengths over Hymn Book.

Owned by Reeves Thoroughbred Racing, Mucho Macho Man's stellar season also included seconds in the Breeders' Cup Classic (G1) and Woodward Stakes (G1). He was also third in the Alysheba Stakes (G2) on his way to banking $1,712,767.

The Rios sold Mucho Macho Man privately as a two year old. In 2011, the Rios sold Ponche de Leona, the dam of Mucho Macho Man, for $300,000 at the Keeneland November mixed sale. For their small breeding operation, which currently includes three broodmares, the Rios at this writing lease 40-acre RoseGrove Farm. They also sell under the consignor name of Caballo Grande and lease stalls at the Ocala Horse Farm Complex for their training division.

FLAT OUT The 2012 Joe O'Farrell Memorial Award was presented to Thoroughstock, agent, as the original consignor of Florida-bred Grade 1 stakes winner Flat Out. Bred by Nikolaus Bock, Flat Out was sold as a weanling for $11,000 at the 2006 Ocala Breeders' Sales Company's October Mixed Sale.

Flat Out won the 2012 Jockey Club Gold Cup by a head over Stay Thirsty with Fort Larned third.

Raced by Preston Stables LLC and trained by William Mott, Flat Out earned $1,225,000 on the season.

The Joe O'Farrell Memorial Award is presented annually by the Ocala Breeders' Sales Company to the original consignor of the year's best Florida-bred racehorse offered at public auction in Florida. The award is named after Joe O'Farrell, who was part of the syndicate that founded Ocala Stud in 1956 and who was a pioneer in establishing public Thoroughbred auctions in Florida.
