dia Dear Members

of the Media, Thank you so much for your interest and support of championship horse racing at Oaklawn. It’s hard to believe we could possibly top last year when we had horses hit the board in all three Triple Crown races, win two Breeders’ Cup races and score in nearly 30 graded stakes after wintering in Hot Springs, but we sure are going to try. With a record $23 million in purses available, we have attracted some of the best horses and horsemen in the country for the 2015 season. When the track first opened 111 years ago, Hot Springs, Ark., was also the spring training site for several Major League Baseball teams. Oaklawn continues that legacy today as the spring training home for Thoroughbred champions. Smarty Jones, Afleet Alex, Curlin, Summer Bird, Rachel Alexandra, Lookin at Lucky, Zenyatta, Havre de Grace, Will Take Charge and most recently Close Hatches and Work All Week have also used Oaklawn as launching pads to future stardom. Among the Grade 1 winners based at Oaklawn last winter were On Fire Baby, Moonshine Mullin, Don’t Tell Sophia and Work All Week. We are excited to welcome longtime Arkansas Democrat Gazette turf writer Robert Yates to our Media Relations team. The entire Media Relations team, which also includes Nancy Holthus, Terry Wallace and John Skillern, is excited about the upcoming season and we look forward to assisting you in any way we can. Please feel free to contact us at any time.Sincerely,Jennifer Hoyt, Media Relations Manager

[email protected], (501) 623-4411 ext. 497

Oaklawn President Charles J. Cella, who has been at the track’s helm since 1968, comes from a family with a long tradition of involvement in Thoroughbred racing. His grandfather and great uncle, Charles and Louis Cella, were among the founders of Oaklawn and were prominent investors in racing ventures nationwide in the early part of the 20th century. His father, the late John Cella, served as track president during the modern era of Oaklawn until his death in 1968.Under John Cella, Oaklawn asserted itself as an industry leader when it became a charter member of the Thoroughbred Racing Associations, a forerunner of today’s national racing organization which operates under a self-imposed code of standards and ethics. John Cella served as president of the TRA in 1959-60. Charles Cella continued Oaklawn’s close relationship with the TRA, serving as the youngest president in its history in 1975-76.The independence that comes from the Cella family’s stewardship has allowed Oaklawn to enter an era of growth unmatched by any other racing center in America. With multimillion dollar capital and racing improvements, the track has reached elite status in the United States. “I am a race track guy,” Cella said. “I truly love racing. It’s my life. I’ve devoted my adult years to it. I am proud of the way Oaklawn has worked to present the right atmosphere of horse racing – the tradition, the basic values, the pageantry of the sport.”Under Cella’s guidance, Oaklawn has continued to set industry standards. In 1990, it was the first North American track to import full-card races across state lines for simulcasting purposes and in the late 1990s, after suffering through years of decline due to competition in other states, Oaklawn reasserted itself with the invention of Instant Racing©. Today, Oaklawn’s horsemen enjoy some of the highest purses in the country thanks to the state-of-the-art gaming center opened in 2010 featuring Instant Racing and other electronic games of skills. Cella’s record as a sportsman has always been on display throughout his tenure and is reflected in his 2004 Eclipse Award of Merit and induction into the Arkansas Sports Hall of Fame in 2008. And, he has never been afraid to go after the big horses. To celebrate

the track’s 100th anniversary, Cella announced a $5 million bonus to any horse that could sweep track’s 3-year-old races and the Kentucky Derby and sure enough, Smarty Jones stepped up and accomplished the feat. In 2010, Cella once again offered $5 million for the “Race for the Ages” if 2009 Horse of the Year Rachel Alexandra and then-undefeated champion Zenyatta both started in the Apple Blossom Invitational. Only Zenyatta appeared, but the attempted race brought world-wide attention to Oaklawn.“It’s a shame that we failed to get the two great mares to compete together on the racetrack,” Cella said. “Having said that, I can tell you the day Zenyatta ran in the Apple Blossom Invitational turned into one of the most memorable days of racing in Oaklawn history. Here we are, this little old race track in a town of 38,000 people - Zenyatta comes to town and is greeted like the Queen Mother – a police escort from the airport to the Oaklawn stable area, crowds of people watching her every move. Almost 45,000 fans come out on a Friday to watch her run. It was magical.”With loyal fans across Arkansas and the greater region, Cella has good reason to be bullish on Oaklawn’s future.“We used to have one product – live racing,” he said. “We now have live racing, exported simulcast racing, imported simulcast racing and our newest products - Instant Racing and electronic games of skill. However, our mindset has always been that racing is first.”In addition to running a racetrack, Cella

“I am a race track guy. I truly love racing. It’s my life. I’ve devoted my adult years to it. I love the people.”

Merged-pool simulcasting has since grown to account for more than 80% of the wagering placed in North America and has become a racing mainstay around the world. In 1997, Jackson developed the concept that led to the patent of the Instant Racing ® System and the formation of the RaceTech company. Since first introduced, Instant Racing has generated approximately $50 million for racing purses at racetracks around country.

A leader on and off the track, Jackson has been heavily involved in community service. For over 25 years he has served on various local, state and national healthcare boards, and currently serves on the Board of CHI – St. Vincent’s. In addition, he is the author of various economic studies, and has lectured on racing, gaming and tourism at colleges and universities. In 2001, he was given the Desoto Award for his lifetime contributions to Hot Springs.

Oaklawn Expands in 2015

Expansions Brings Opportunity for Horsemen, Hot Springs Community

For the seventh consecutive year, Oaklawn will offer record purses in 2015 with more than $23 million projected for the season. Maiden Special Weight races will carry purses of $60,000, which is $5,000 per race higher than the start of last season. Open Allowance races will have purses up to $65,000. The minimum purse will be $18,000.

Since 2008, Oaklawn’s purses have increased by 33%. According to Oaklawn’s Director of Racing David Longinotti, the spike in purse distribution is the result of a strong racing product and the success of Instant Racing and other electronic gaming.

“In this day and age, it’s always gratifying to be able to raise purses – and for us to be able to do so year-after-year is a reflection of Oaklawn’s commitment to bringing the highest quality racing to Arkansas,” said Longinotti.

The increased purses are not only good news for the horsemen, but the entire Hot Springs community, who will benefit from the increased tourism generated from the expanded gam-ing area and high quality racing between January and April. In addition, Oaklawn expects with the expansion to add an additional 200 employees.

The expansion also bodes well for the Oaklawn Foundation, which was established in 2005. The Foundation uses the money generated from the gaming area to fund programs and scholarships to benefit Garland County students and senior citizens, including the construc-tion of a new Center on Aging in association with the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences and the Donald W. Reynolds Foundation. Originally projected to provide funding of between $250,000 and $500,000, the Oaklawn Foundation will have received close to $1 million in 2014 and awarded more than 100 scholarships.

SILKS BAR & GRILL OFFERS GOOD FOOD, GOOD TIMES.The centerpiece of Oaklawn’s expansion is the new Silks Bar & Grill, which features casual dining along with 32 big screen TVs for watching all the big games. Guests can enjoy a juicy burger and all their favorite pub foods as well as delicious entrees such as Crab Cakes. There will also be live entertainment in Silks on Fridays and Saturdays.

For a quick bite, guests can stop by Bistro 2705 for a small snack, sandwich or favorite non-alcoholic beverage.

NEWLY EXPANDED GAME ROOM AWAITS IN 2015Oaklawn will debut its newly expanded game room just in time for the start of the 2015 race meet. Work on the new facility began just after the 2014 season ended April 12 and crews have been working around the clock to have everything completed by opening day.

Greeting guests will be new gaming space that includes the latest and most popular electronic games of skill on the market, a High Limits area, Poker Room and two new dining options – Silks Bar & Grill and Bistro 2705. The first things guests will notice will be the new entrance and larger gift shop in the lobby.

This latest $20 million expansion is the second major project that Oaklawn has undertaken in the last six years with the previous facility opening in late 2009. The total investment of $60 million is the largest private investment in the history of Hot Springs.

A Sneak Peak inside Silks Bar & Grill.

The Game Room’s new entrance is now open.

• Cox grew up a few blocks from Churchill Downs and earned an advanced degree in racing education under the famed Twin Spires (though one might think he was a graduate of the University of Kentucky with all the athletic garb he wears regularly.) He broke into the game working for trainers Burt Kessinger and Jimmy Baker before landing a job as assistant to trainer Dallas Stewart. His five-year stint there indoctrinated him to the revolution-ary training program pioneered by D. Wayne Lukas and has been passed down through former assistants like Todd Pletcher, Kiaran McLaughlin and Stewart.

• Once setting out on his own in 2005, Cox needed to be sharp to get established with a small stable. He identi-fied Oaklawn in 2009 as a place to build momentum and get rolling with horses he picked out through claiming races. Since then he has been a solid force in the trainer standings, closing out the 2014 meet in a tie for 4th in the standings.

• Cox has claimed a few horses that have gone on to win stakes races, including Temple Street. He claimed her for $15,000 and she then ran third in the 2009 Spring Fever Stake and second in the Grade 1 Humana Distaff.

• Cox’s standout in 2014 was Carve, who began the year finishing third in the Oaklawn Handicap and went on to win the Prairie Meadows Cornhusker Handicap and West Virginia Governor’s Cup.

• Winchell Thoroughbreds is a partnership of Joan Winchell and her son, Ron, who are continuing the racing operation started by the late Verne H. Winchell, Joan’s husband and Ron’s father . The elder Winchell, who died at age 87 in 2002, founded the donut company Winchell’s in 1948 and later was CEO and chairman of Denny’s restaurants. He bred and raced champions Mira Femme and Tight Spot (the latter raced in partnership).

• The Winchells own Corinthia Farm near Lexington. Racing manager and farm manager David Fiske has worked for the Winchell family for 30 years.

• Ron Winchell is involved in gaming bars/restaurants, construction and real estate development.

Shortleaf Stable / John Ed AnthonyResidence: Hot Springs, AR

• Owner John Ed Anthony, a 1961 graduate of the Univ. of Arkansas, is the chairman of his family-owned timber company, Anthony Timberlands, based in southern Arkansas since 1907. For his achievements in racing, particularly in Arkansas, he was inducted into the Arkansas Sports Hall of Fame in 2001.

• Formerly racing as Loblolly Stable, Anthony bred and raced notable champions starting with Temperence Hill, winner of the 1980 Arkansas Derby and Belmont Stakes, and followed closely by Vanlandingham, the 1985 champion older horse, who helped launch the career of Hall of Fame trainer Shug McGaughey. In 1992 and ’93, he won back-to-back editions of the Preakness Stakes in with Pine Bluff and Prairie Bayou. The latter would be named champion 3-year-old that year.

• Now racing as Shortleaf Stable, Anthony has won the Fantasy once (Aztec Hill, 1993), the Oaklawn Handicap twice (Cox’s Ridge, 1978; Temperence Hill 1981), the Rebel Stakes five times (Temperance Hill, 1980, Vanlandingham, 1984, Demons Begone, 1987, Pine Bluff, 1992 and Dalhart, 1993) and the Arkansas Derby three times (Temperence Hill; Demons Begone, and Pine Bluff).

• A son-father team in racing and business, the Fords made their fortune with Alltel, the telecommunications company which Scott led as C.E.O. through several acquisitions after taking over for his father in 1996. Scott Ford was at the helm when Alltel was purchased by Verizon Wireless in 2009. He now heads his own capital management firm and Westrock Coffee, which is Oaklawn’s exclusive coffee supplier.

• The family started with Quarter Horses, but made the transition to Thoroughbreds in the mid-2000s through partnerships with Dogwood Stable before forming their own outfit in 2008 under the guidance of Hall of Fame trainer D. Wayne Lukas. They also use several other trainers, including another Hall of Famer, Bob Baffert.

• Best runner in 2014 was Sky Kingdom, winner of the American Flag Stakes and second in the Gr. 3 Cougar II Handicap. Enjoyed their first Grade 1 victory when juvenile filly Secret Compass won the Chandelier Stakes at Santa Anita in Sept. 2013.

• Other top runners include Tidal Pool, Decelerator and Be Fair, Northern Giant, who became the stable’s first Triple Crown race starter and Hamazing Destiny, who nearly pulled the upset at 23-to-1 odds when second in the 2010 Breeders’ Cup Sprint.
