DOUG BURGE

CTBA PRESIDENT

From the EXECUTIVE CORNER

The year 2015 proved to be a good one for the California Toroughbred industry. On the breeding front, the number

of mares bred and resulting live foal crop increased for the second year in a row. Also, several promising young stallions have again been retired to stand stud in the state.

Te strength of the breeding and rac-ing program continues to provide the necessary incentives for people to invest in California. While every other state ofers purse and awards from alternative gaming, we continue to advance strictly on handle and demand for our product. With any progress and assistance from the state legislature with Internet pok-er, fantasy wagering, or sports wagering legislation, the future could be even brighter.

In regards to the commercial sales markets, the demand for California-bred racing prospects also remains strong. Te yearling and 2-year-old sales held in both Northern and Southern California yielded very favorable results. Te long-term stability of these marketplaces are of concern and importance. Te CTBA will continue to monitor and work close-ly with Barretts and other stakeholders to ensure that proper outlets exist. As the demand for Cal-breds continues to be at record highs, it is vital that commercial

breeders have confdence in the Califor-nia sales venues.

In regards to racing, for the second consecutive year, California-breds have performed extremely well, winning near-ly 20 graded stakes races through the frst 11 months. After California Chrome’s epic campaign in 2014, many Cal-breds followed in his footsteps, winning grade I races not only in state, but also at the prestigious Saratoga meet in New York. With ‘Chrome back in training, and many promising young Cal-breds win-ning restricted stakes and moving up the ladder, this trend should defnitely con-tinue through the next year(s).

Te other positive racing advancement has been the success in flling the numer-ous California-bred restricted races in Southern California. With less than half the foal crop from a decade ago, Cal-bred races are actually being ofered at a higher percentage rate. Many maiden special weight races have been split, and the total number of opportunities have increased over the past few years. As Cal-breds make up more than 50% of the feld sizes statewide, these positive trends are extremely important to the overall health of California racing.

As breeders continue to focus on qual-ity, as well as quantity, the prospects for 2016 look as favorable as ever.

Happy Holidays.

Ring Out a Very Good Year

THIS MONTH IN HISTORY

10 YEARS AGO

BORDONARO captured his frst graded stakes victory in the $100,000 Vernon O. Underwood Stakes (gr. III) at Hollywood Park Dec. 3, 2005. As the 2-1 second choice and ridden by Patrick Valenzuela, he stormed home by three lengths over Turnbolt in 1:08.11 for six furlongs. Bill Spawr trained the California-bred for owner/breeders Fred Carillo and Daniel Cassella. Foaled at Ridgeley Farm in Hemet, Bordonaro was a 4-year-old son of Memo—Miss Excitement, by Rajab. He eventu-ally became a grade I winner and earned a total of $938,128.

25 YEARS AGO

Diane and Harold Keith’s APOLLO won the $75,000 San Miguel Stakes at Santa Anita Dec. 28, 1990, the frst of two consecutive stakes victories. The California-bred son of Falstaff—Tumble Along, by Tumble Wind, then captured the California Breeders’ Champion Stakes the following month, also at Santa

Anita, to bring his record to four wins in four starts. He would go on to earn $354,475. Harold Keith bred Apollo in the name of his Eclipse Investment with Turf writer and bloodlines expert Leon Rasmussen. Apollo eventually sired several Thoroughbred stakes winners, but he excelled as the sire of racing Quarter Horses. His Quarter Horses have included champions Apollitical Time and Old Habits. Apollitical Time is the dam of Quarter Horse World Champion Apollitical Jess, now a major sire.

50 YEARS AGO

Oklahoma Sen. Boyd Cowden bred horses in California, and he named one of his homebreds WINDY SENATOR. The Cal-bred colt won the Bay Meadows Juvenile Championship Dec. 18, 1965, taking the 11⁄16-mile race by a neck over Tragniew, with Fleet Host third. Alvaro Pineda piloted Windy Senator for trainer C.A. Comiskey. Windy Senator was a 2-year-old son of Prize Host—Chicago Miss, by Windy City II, and the hard-knock-ing horse ultimately started 67 times during his career.

IN Memoriam

Wallace Dollase

Wallace Dollase, trainer of cham-pions Itsallgreektome and Jewel Prin-cess, died Oct. 31 in Louisville, Ky., at age 78 after a long illness. Dollase had been involved in many aspects of the Toroughbred business, having run Rio Vista Farm in Atascadero, Calif., with his family before turning to training full time.

Wally and Cincy Dollase raised their children, Aimee, Carrie, Craig, and Michelle, at Rio Vista, a major California facility during the early 1980s. Today Craig Dollase trains in Southern California, Aimee is an assistant trainer to Tom Proctor, and Michelle is training at San Luis Rey Downs and has operated layup facilities in California and Kentucky.

Rio Vista stood several stallions, including French-bred group II winner and group I-placed Boitron. Te stallion made history as one of the frst horses ever to live with an artifcial hind leg. Dollase constructed small paddocks and installed special equipment in the horse’s stall to help facilitate Boitron’s recovery.

Te farm was also the retirement home for millionaire gelding Ancient Title, a two-time California-bred Horse of the Year and a member of the National Museum of Racing Hall of Fame.

Te family sold Rio Vista in 1989, and Dollase began his full-time training career. He trained the winners of 80 stakes that included 18 grade I victories. Itsallgreektome, champion turf horse of 1990, won such stakes as the 1990 Hollywood Derby (gr. IT) and Hollywood Turf Cup Handicap (gr. IT). Jewel Princess won the 1996 Breeders’ Cup Distaf (gr. I) en route to her champion older mare title that season.

Dollase’s other stakes winners included 1996 Malibu Stakes (gr. I) winner King of the Heap and A.P. Adventure, winner of the 2004 Las Virgenes Stakes (gr. I). He also won the Travers Stakes (gr. I) twice, with Deputy Commander in 1997 and with Deputy Com-mander’s son Ten Most Wanted in 2003.

After Dollase retired from training in 2006, he and Cincy moved to Kentucky. Altogether, Dollase won 522 races from 3,014 starts, with purse earnings of more than $37.7 million.

Gimme Da Lute

California-bred Gimme Da Lute, a 3-year-old multiple graded stakes win-ner, had to be euthanized following surgery to repair a fractured hind leg. Te surgery was successful, but co-owner Mike Pegram said the colt severely broke his leg coming out of recovery. Te initial injury occurred following a workout at Santa Anita Nov. 3.

Pegram, Karl Watson, and Paul Weitman bred and raced Gimme Da Lute, a son of Midnight Lute—Casino Gold, by Proud Citizen. Bob Bafert trained him for the partners, as he had the colt’s sire.

Gimme Da Lute was in the middle of a very successful racing career. He won the Los Alamitos Derby (gr. II), Afrmed Stakes (gr. III), El Cajon Stakes, Real Good Deal Stakes, and Echo Eddie Stakes, all during 2015. Al-together, he started nine times, with six wins, one second, and two thirds, for earnings of $627,560.

Mixed Pleasure

California-bred Mixed Pleasure, a descendant of Seabiscuit, died from complications, died from complica-tions of colic at age 30 Oct. 26. He had been living at the Old Friends retirement facility in Georgetown, Ky.

Bred by Celeste and David Anderson, Mixed Pleasure was a son of Sucha Pleasure—Sea I’m Lucky, by Windy Sea. Seabiscuit appears in his fourth generation as the sire of Sea Anemone, the dam of Windy Sea.

On the track, Mixed Pleasure earned $140,175 and won fve of 22 races, including the 1987 Kindergarten Stakes at Golden Gate Fields and Ford Juvenile Stakes at Bay Meadows. Tat year he also fnished second in the Hollywood Juvenile Championship Stakes (gr. II) and third in the Balboa Stakes (gr. III) at Del Mar. Te next year he placed in the Carquinez Handicap at Solano.

Mixed Pleasure, who stood at stud in Oregon, had been pensioned at Old Friends since 2012.

CEE’S TIZZY

BY TRACY GANTZ

It seemed like California would have Cee’s Tizzy forever.

Te gray stallion thrived at Harris Farms in Coalinga and

had made the farm his home since 1994. But old age

eventually caught up with him, and California lost him

Oct. 20.

An excellent racehorse, Cee’s Tizzy became an even better

sire. He will always be remembered as the sire of Horse of the

Year Tiznow, the all-time-leading California-bred money-earn-

er. But Cee’s Tizzy sired many other good horses, including

Budroyale, Gourmet Girl, and Cost of Freedom.

“It was very sad to lose our boy,” said Pam Ziebarth, the

daughter of Cecilia Straub-Rubens, who raced Cee’s Tizzy. “It

helps knowing he was always surrounded by the people that

loved and adored him and provided him with the best of care

and a wonderful long life.”

Bred in Kentucky by the Lucy Ruspoli Racing Stable, Cee’s

Tizzy was a son of Relaunch—Tizly, by Lyphard. His second

dam was Tizna, who successfully carried 132 pounds in win-

ning the 1976 San Gorgonio Handicap at Santa Anita.

Paul Webber of the Curragh Bloodstock Agency bought

Cee’s Tizzy for $72,000 as a yearling for Straub-Rubens, for

whom he raced. In the span of 13 days at Del Mar in 1990,

Cee’s Tizzy won at six furlongs in 1:07 4/5 and a mile in 1:33

2/5 for trainer John Russell.

Michael Cooper, Straub-Rubens’ business manager and later

a partner with her in Cee’s Stable, recalled Del Mar steward

Pete Pedersen being so impressed by Cee’s Tizzy that he called

Straub-Rubens to the phone in the winner’s circle.

“Of course, we could only guess something was wrong,” said

Cooper. “She went to the telephone, and Pete Pedersen said,

‘Cee, I’m going to have to give you a speeding ticket—what a

marvelous horse you have.’ ”

Cee’z Tizzy fnished third in that year’s Super Derby (gr. I)

and was retired after sufering a carpal fracture in the race.

Straub-Rubens decided to stand the horse at stud at Lakeview

Toroughbred Farm in California, a fortuitous decision for her

and the state’s breeding industry. Cee’s Tizzy sired Budroyale

in his second crop and Tiznow four years later, both out of the

Seattle Song mare Cee’s Song.

Te Cal-bred Horse of the Year and champion older male

of 1999, Budroyale earned $2,840,810, was a multiple graded

stakes winner, and fnished second in the 1999 Breeders’ Cup

Classic (gr. I).

His full brother, Tiznow, did even better. Twice Cal-bred

Horse of the Year and the national Horse of the Year in 2000,

Tiznow won the Breeders’ Cup Classic in 2000 and 2001, as

well as the 2001 Santa Anita Handicap (gr. I) and several other

graded stakes. He earned $6,427,830 and has gone on to be a

phenomenal sire himself. Ziebarth’s homebred My Sweet Ad-

diction, a Kentucky-bred daughter of Tiznow, won this year’s

Vanity Handicap (gr. I).

A leading sire in California multiple times, Cee’s Tizzy also

sired Cal-breds Gourmet Girl and Cost of Freedom. Gour-

Foundation Loans Seabiscuit Trophies to California Museum

Te Foundation has loaned three trophies won by Seabiscuit to the California Museum in Sacramento. Tey include the champion’s Pimlico Special trophy from 1938, a match race in which Seabiscuit defeated Triple Crown winner War Admiral.

Te California Museum’s special exhibit is titled “California Chrome: A Race for the Dream” and explores that California-bred champion’s career. Among the items on display is California Chrome’s 2014 Kentucky Derby Trophy.

Other highlights chronicle the state’s long association with the sport, including the nation’s oldest racetrack in Pleasanton built in 1858; Seabiscuit, a symbol of Ameri-can hope during the Great Depression; and more.

Although Seabiscuit raced from coast to coast, many of his victories occurred at Santa Anita, Hollywood Park, Del Mar, Tanforan, and Bay Meadows. Te Founda-tion has also loaned his Santa Anita Handicap and Hollywood Gold Cup trophies for the exhibit, which continues through September 2016.

Te California Museum opened in 1998 through a unique partnership with the state of California as a private non-proft institution focused on California history and culture. Former California First Lady Maria Shriver worked with the museum to expand its vision and mission, and exhibitions continue to refect all aspects of California’s diverse population and culture.

BALANCE THE BOOKS RANCHO HILLS FARM

CIRCUMFERENCE MILKY WAY FARM

A graded stakes winner at both Saratoga and Keeneland at 2, Balance the Books of-fers California breeders access to both East-ern precocity and an excellent pedigree.

Balance the Books is one of only two sons of Belmont Stakes (gr. I) winner Lemon Drop Kid at stud in California. In addition to his Belmont score, Lemon Drop Kid also won the Travers Stakes (gr. I) at 3 and the Brooklyn Handicap (gr. II), Suburban Handicap (gr. II), Whitney Handicap (gr. I), and Woodward Stakes (gr. I) in consecutive races at 4. He was named the Eclipse Award champion older male in 2000.

Balance the Books is out of the Japa-nese stakes horse Kreisleriana, a daughter of Seeking the Gold and four-time Irish champion Kooyonga. Kooyonga won four group I races in Ireland and Germa-ny en route to earning over $1.4 million. Kreisleriana has produced two winners,

both stakes horses. Te frst was Photo Shoot, a six-time winning son of Giant’s Causeway who fn-ished third in the $250,400 Presque Isle Mile Stakes.

Te second was Balance the Books, who broke his maiden by a head in the $200,000 With An-ticipation Stakes (gr. IIT) after a bumpy, six-wide trip rallying from last. Balance the Books then won the $150,000 Bourbon Stakes (gr. IIIT) at Keeneland by a nose, despite breaking in the air at the start, trailing ear-ly, and being forced out in deep stretch.

Balance the Books was sent of as the sixth choice in the $909,000 Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Turf (gr. IT), but his rally landed him third, beaten 11⁄2 lengths. He had a rough trip for the third consecutive time, steadying of of runners’ heels into the stretch.

Balance the Books briefy tried the 2013 Triple Crown trail, but after a sixth in the Toyota Blue Grass Stakes (gr. I), he returned to grass, where he won the $100,000 Stroll Stakes at Saratoga. He was retired with three wins—all stakes—with a second and two thirds in nine starts for earnings of $404,596. He will stand at Rancho Hills Farm in San Diego for $5,000.

Circumference brings a wealth of pedi-gree and connections to his stud career. He will stand his frst season at Linda Madsen’s Milky Way Farm in Temecula for $3,000 as the property of a partnership.

By Galileo, Circumference started just three times in France before an injury cut his racing career short. Bred in Ireland by Chelston Irelend, he raced for Michael Tabor, an associate of Coolmore, and was trained by Andre Fabre.

Tabor also raced Circle of Life, the dam of Circumference, a daughter of Belong to Me. Circle of Life earned $268,925 during her racing career while trained by multiple Eclipse Award winner Todd Pletcher. She won the 1999 Spinaway Stakes (gr. I) at Saratoga and placed in the Ashland Stakes (gr. I), Matron Stakes (gr. I), and Schuylerville Stakes (gr. II).

Circumference is a half broth-er to Circular Quay, also raced by Tabor and trained by Pletcher. Circular Quay captured the 2006 Hopeful Stakes (gr. I), 2007 Lou-isiana Derby (gr. II), and two other graded stakes en route to earnings of $1,505,434. He fnished second to champion Street Sense in the 2006 Bessemer Trust Breeders’ Cup Juvenile (gr. I).

Circle of Life has also pro-duced Te Roundhouse, who placed in four stakes, including the 2007 Saratoga Special Stakes (gr. II). Tis is the family of stakes winners Magic Circle, Ragged Edge, and Golden Reserve.

Galileo stands at Coolmore Stud in Ire-land. Te son of Sadler’s Wells was Europe’s champion 3-year-old in 2001, when he

won the Vodafone Derby Stakes (Eng-I), Budweiser Irish Derby (Ire-I), and King George VI & Queen Elizabeth Diamond Stakes (Eng-I). His numerous group I win-ners include Frankel, Red Rocks, Magi-cian, Ruler of Te World, Gleneagles, Was, Golden Lilac, and Cape Blanco. Galileo has been a champion sire six times.

CLUBHOUSE RIDE HARRIS FARMS

COGITO OCEAN BREEZE RANCH

Multiple graded stakes winner Club-house Ride retired in April to Harris Farms in Coalinga, and he will stand his frst full season at stud for $2,500.

Te durable colt made 10 starts at 2, breaking his maiden against open company at Del Mar and winning the $100,495 Bar-retts Juvenile Stakes by 21⁄4 lengths despite a rough start. Clubhouse Ride shipped to Louisiana for the $1 million Delta Downs Jackpot Stakes (gr. III), where he fn-ished third. He also fnished third in the $750,000 CashCall Futurity (gr. I).

As a sophomore, Clubhouse Ride was second behind future Breeders’ Cup Dirt Mile (gr. I) hero Tapizar in the $100,000 Sham Stakes (gr. III). He returned at 4 to make 12 starts, including a second in the $100,000 Daytona Stakes (gr. IIIT) and a third in the Governor’s Cup Handicap.

At 5, Clubhouse Ride fnished second in both the $751,000 Santa Anita Hand-

icap (gr. I) and the $1.5 million Charles Town Classic Stakes (gr. II) to Game On Dude before winning the $150,000 Californian Stakes (gr. II). He defended his title in that race at 6, rallying up the rail to score by a half-length.

Clubhouse Ride won fve times, fnished second nine times, and had 10 thirds in 43 starts. His ca-reer earnings totaled $1,341,132. He won or placed in 15 stakes rac-es and ran in 19 consecutive stakes from 2013 through 2015. He was a winner on dirt, turf, and synthetic surfaces.

Clubhouse Ride’s sire is the brilliant Candy Ride, an undefeated grade I win-ner who has also sired standouts such as Shared Belief, Misremembered, Twirling Candy, and Sidney’s Candy. Clubhouse Ride’s dam, the Seeking the Gold mare Seeking Results, has produced two win-

ners from four foals to race, including sev-en-time winner Looking for Candy.

Seeking Results is out of the winning Caerleon mare Immediate Impact, who is the dam of two-time grade I winner and $1,642,385-earner River Keen, as well as the Japanese stakes horse Taiki Impulse, an earner of $669,170. River Keen has sired 55% winners from starters, with progeny earnings of $1,589,282.

Te European stakes winner Cogito has joined the roster at Ocean Breeze Ranch, formerly known as Vessels Stallion Farm, in Bonsall.

Bred in Virginia, Cogito broke his maiden frst out at Newmarket, then took the one-mile Heron Stakes at Sandown Park. He fnished second in France’s Prix Eugene Adam Grand Prix de Maisons-Laf-ftte (Fr-II) before returning to the United States and running fourth in the $400,000 Jamaica Handicap (gr. IT) at Belmont Park. In that efort Cogito fnished ahead of Pacifc Classic (gr. I) and Toyota Blue Grass Stakes (gr. I) winner Dullahan.

Of that efort Cogito contested the 2012 Breeders’ Cup Turf (gr. IT) at San-ta Anita Park, where he fnished seventh

but was beaten less than fve lengths for the victory. Cogito retired with two wins and a second in 10 starts for earnings of $91,949.

Cogito is by Giant’s Causeway, Europe’s Cartier Horse of the Year in 2000 and winner of six group I races. Te royally bred son of Storm Cat is the sire of mil-lionaires such as Shamardal, Take Charge Brandi, Aragorn, Heatseeker, Imagining, Creative Cause, Cowboy Cal, and Carpe Diem.

CURLIN TO MISCHIEF RANCHO SAN MIGUEL

GOVENOR CHARLIE LOVACRES RANCH

Te physically impressive Curlin to Mischief will stand the 2016 breeding season at Rancho San Miguel.

Te son of leading Kentucky sire Curl-in is out of the stakes-winning Tricky Creek mare Leslie’s Lady, which makes him a half brother to two-time champion mare Beholder, as well as grade I winner Into Mischief.

Into Mischief ran six times, with three wins and three seconds, for earnings of $597,080. He broke his maiden in his debut and ran second in the Hollywood Prevue Stakes (gr. III) before scoring in the $753,000 CashCall Futurity (gr. I). Te fol-lowing year he won the Damascus Stakes at 3 and fnished second in the Malibu Stakes (gr. I) and San Vicente Stakes (gr. II).

Beholder is a two-time Breeders’ Cup winner. She has earned $4,436,600 with 15 wins in 20 starts. Beholder’s grade I victories

include the $1 million TVG Pacifc Classic over males this year, the Ze-nyatta Stakes (gr. I) three times, the Clement L. Hirsch Stakes (gr. I), the Santa Anita Oaks (gr. I), and the Las Virgenes Stakes (gr. I).

Beholder had just fnished sec-ond by a nose in the $300,000 Del Mar Debutante (gr. I) as a 2-year-old in 2012 when her yearling half brother brought $300,000 at the 2012 Keeneland yearling sale. Te renowned Juddmonte Farms was the buy-er, but Curlin to Mischief was never able to race.

Curlin to Mischief is currently sound and was to be shipped from Kentucky to Santa Anita Park to start jogging under the care of trainer Matt Chew. Breeders are invited to watch Curlin to Mischief move and train before he is shipped to his

new home in San Miguel, Calif.Curlin to Mischief will stand for a fee

of $3,500, but breeders are also able to participate in a “Share the Upside” pro-gram. After signing a contract, breeding one mare for $5,000, and getting a live foal, a limited number of breeders can ac-quire a lifetime breeding right to Curlin to Mischief.

With a royal pedigree and a graded stakes-winning race record, Govenor Char-lie is the complete package as he retires to Terry Lovingier’s Lovacres Ranch for 2016. Te son of champion Midnight Lute will stand the upcoming season for $3,000.

Bob Bafert trained Govenor Charlie throughout his career, unveiling the colt Jan. 19, 2013. Govenor Charlie fnished second but defeated future multiple grad-ed stakes winner and millionaire Salutos Amigos in that efort. Govenor Charlie broke his maiden next out, a mile maiden race at Santa Anita.

Shipped to Sunland Park in New Mex-ico for the $800,000 Sunland Derby (gr. III), Govenor Charlie sat third in a feld of nine before rallying to the lead and draw-ing of to win by fve lengths. In his fnal start at 3, he ran in the Preakness Stakes (gr. I) at Pimlico.

At 4, Govenor Charlie fnished second in the $200,750 Strub Stakes (gr. II) and

ffth in the $200,000 Razorback Handicap (gr. III) at Oaklawn Park. He retired this year with two wins and three seconds in nine starts for earnings of $506,650.

Govenor Charlie’s active pedigree makes him an exceptional stallion prospect. He is by two-time Breed-ers’ Cup Sprint (gr. I) winner Mid-night Lute and is out of the Storm Cat mare Silverbulletway. Te mare never raced, but her dam, the Silver Deputy mare Silverbulletday, was induct-ed into the National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame in 2009.

Silverbulletday won six of seven starts at 2, including the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies (gr. I), and was named the Eclipse champion 2-year-old flly. She went on to count the Kentucky Oaks (gr. I), Ash-land Stakes (gr. I), Alabama Stakes (gr. I), and Gazelle Handicap (gr. I) among her victories at 3, which earned her another

Eclipse Award. Silverbulletday won 15 of 23 starts and earned $3,093,207.

Silverbulletway’s frst foal was Crisis of Spirit, a stakes-winning daughter of Vin-dication. Four of Silverbulletway’s fve foals to race have been winners, includ-ing the Mexican multiple stakes winner Pachangera, a full sister to Govenor Char-lie. Crisis of Spirit’s frst foal, a colt by Midnight Lute named Happy, broke his maiden by 11 lengths in August.

ROUSING SERMON RANCHO SAN MIGUEL

TIGAH FRUITFUL ACRES

Rousing Sermon, who was something of an iron horse during his 36-race career, will retire to Rancho San Miguel for the 2016 breeding season.

Te chestnut horse won six times, with seven seconds and seven thirds, for earn-ings of $821,572. He made six starts as a juvenile, breaking his maiden in his de-but, a fve-furlong maiden special weight event at Hollywood Park. He fnished third in consecutive sprint stakes at the Del Mar Toroughbred Club before tak-ing the $100,000 Bob Benoit California Cup Juvenile Stakes at 11⁄16 miles at Santa Anita Park.

Rousing Sermon fnished the sea-son with back-to-back seconds in the $100,000 Real Quiet Stakes and the $750,000 CashCall Futurity (gr. I). In the Futurity he was still 10th at the top of the stretch before rallying six wide to miss by a neck. He was champion Cali-fornia-bred 2-year-old male of 2011.

Rousing Sermon faced graded stakes

company exclusively through the frst seven months of his sopho-more season. He fnished third in the $200,000 Robert B. Lewis Stakes (gr. II) and third in the $1 million Louisiana Derby (gr. II). He was fourth in the Swaps Stakes (gr. II) and ultimately ran eight times in 2012.

In 10 starts in 2013, Rousing Sermon won the $100,750 On Trust Handicap in a game perfor-mance. He also captured a pair of allow-ance optional claiming races, ran second in the $77,560 Big Bear Stakes, and fnished third in the $150,500 Native Diver Stakes (gr. III).

Stakes (gr. I). Lucky Pulpit is also the sire of $564,542-earner Luckarack, a multi-ple stakes winner, and the Idaho stand-out Floating Feather, who has earned $348,593.

Rousing Sermon’s dam, the winning Awesome Again mare Rousing Again, is a half sister to the multiple graded stakes winner Chindi. A winner of 18 in 81 starts, Chindi earned $1,000,838.

Rousing Sermon will stand his frst sea-son for $2,000.

Tigah, a talented runner who show-cased his ability in France and the U.S., is entering stud for 2016 at Fruitful Acres in Aguanga. He will stand for $5,000.

Tough bred in Great Britain and raced early in his career in France, Tigah did his best racing in California. He won the 2013 San Francisco Mile Stakes (gr. IIIT) at Golden Gate Fields as the 2-1 favorite, getting up in the fnal stages for a gritty neck victory. Tat year he also fnished third in the Tunder Road Stakes at Santa Anita and the Wickerr Stakes at Del Mar.

In France he ran second in the 2011 Prix Millkom. Altogether, Tigah won eight of 31 races, with seven seconds and six thirds, for earnings of $369,350. He closed his career with a victory this year at Santa Anita.

Bred by Newsells Park Stud Limited,

Tigah went through two European sales, selling for $70,257 as a wean-ling and $170,268 as a yearling. He won the San Francisco Mile when trained by John Sadler for owner Karnel Jawl.

Tigah is by Dalakhani, Europe’s champion 3-year-old of 2003. Tat year Dalakhani’s victories included the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe Luc-ien Barriere (Fr-I), Prix Lupin (Fr-I), and Prix du Jockey Club (Fr-I). Te stallion has sired Conduit, the 2008 Eclipse Award-winning male turf horse and two-time winner of the Emirates Air-line Breeders’ Cup Turf (gr. IT), as well as other group I winners Reliable Man, Moonstone, Chinese White, Duncan, In-tegral, Second Step, and Seismos.

Exercise Riders

BY EMILY SHIELDS

They both struggle with weight; they both deal with injuries sufered in falls; and they both

have to stay remarkably ft to per-form at their best.

Jockeys are the ones who get to bask in the limelight after winning a race, but exercise riders are the ones who climb aboard horses every single morning, guid-ing them to their peak ftness. Tey are aboard when the horses are young and green, well before a jockey ever sits on the horse’s back. Tey are also the frst line of communication between the horse and the trainer, who cannot feel the way a horse moves like the rider can.

To be an exercise rider, a genuine love of horses and trust in your own abilities are required, as well as a certain level of daring. Janeen Painter, who gallops two-time champion Beholder, started gallop-ing horses at age 15 and actually rode as a

jockey before settling into her current role as one of trainer Richard Mandella’s top riders.

“Even when I was race riding, it was all cheap stuf,” Painter said. “Working out here for Richard is the big time. I started just freelancing until we got used to each other.”

Painter takes her job seriously and ar-rives even before most of the grooms, just after 4 in the morning.

“I do a lap around the barn and make sure everyone is okay,” she said. “Ten I set my tack, and set the tack for the free-lance riders. I really enjoy that part of the morning, when no one is talking yet.” Painter noted that the Mandella barn is regularly done sending horses to the track by 9:30.

Getting on classy horses is one of the perks of working for Mandella, but what does a future star show in the morning? From the frst time Painter worked cham-

pion and two-time Breeders’ Cup heroine Beholder an eighth of a mile, she knew she was sitting on something special.

“I thought, ‘Tis horse can do any-thing.’ Te good ones have such a difer-ent way that they use their energy to cross the ground. It’s no efort for them to do something that takes a regular horse a lot of efort.”

“You can just feel how strong they are,” said Marcial Rosales, who gallops grade I-winning California-bred Masochistic for trainer Ron Ellis. “He always pulls on me, and instead of asking him for more, I have to ask him to hold back.”

“Within a few minutes of sitting on them, you can just feel it—it’s in the way they move, breathe, and act,” said David Meah, who frst began riding at age 15 and is a product of the British Racing School in Newmarket. “Te good fllies are a little bit mean; they have that competitive spir-it. Te good colts are just classy. Tere’s

David Meah, who started riding at 15, believes there’s nothing like breezing a good horse such as Imperative, above

nothing like getting on a good one and breezing it. I get goose bumps just talking about it.”

“Te good ones are usually smarter,” said Amir Cedeño, a jockey-turned-exercise rider who has been gal-loping for trainer Doug O’Neill while he gets back to riding weight following an injury. “Tey might act up when they feel good, but they don’t act stupid. You can tell by the way they move and listen, and classy good horses let you be the driver.”

Cedeño badly injured his rotator cuf in an accident at Del Mar last year, and was out nine months. Prior to that, he had sufered a broken hip and pelvis during an incident in a race at Hollywood Park in 1991.

“I had major surgery, with pins and plates put in,” Cedeño recalled. “I was riding seven months later. Ten I fell once, got up, and kept riding, but a doctor checked and saw I’d broken all the pins. I had to have them removed in another surgery. A week later I was back riding.”

But when asked if he is ever afraid on horseback, Cedeño gives an emphatic, “No. I’m never scared. You can’t be.”

Painter noted that some injuries are more difcult to overcome from a psychological standpoint than a phys-ical one.

“If something weird happened and the horse wasn’t trying to drop me, then I don’t think about it,” she said. “One of my worst accidents was at 16 years old, when I got dropped in a race and shattered my sinuses, fractured my skull, and I have no memory of it. But because I don’t remember it, there was no fear. Now, if a horse is trying to drop me—if he goes out with the intention of getting

that job done—then I’m less likely to get back on.”Rosales is more worried about injury to his mounts than himself. “Yes,

when you fall, you could get hurt,” he said. “You don’t want to get hurt. But what happens with the horse if you fall? You worry about them.”

Greg Hendricks, who gallops for his grade I-winning trainer father, Dan, is only 19, but he has already spent some time on the ground.

“You don’t think about falling until you’re doing it,” he said. “Oth-erwise it never crosses my mind. You just can’t have fear about it if you want to do your job.”

In fact, Hendricks considers the time he got run of with much scarier than falling.

“Tat was the worst thing that’s happened to me so far,” he said. “But now that it’s happened, the fear is gone. It’s like a boxer that needs to be punched once to get over his fear. But the dirt, especially at Santa Anita, is pretty soft. If you get tossed, you will probably be safe.”

Hendricks grew up watching his father send sets to the track and felt awed by the work the exercise riders did.

“Tey were so nonchalant about it, but it was so diferent from what

http://www.ctba.com

Exercise Riders


I considered riding,” Hendricks recalled. “I never thought I would be that way, but I am now.”

Te frst time he galloped a horse on

the track, Hendricks’ legs were hardly still, but he remembers turning to the rider be-side him and proclaiming the experience “the coolest thing I’d ever done in my life.”

“I love getting to know each diferent horse,” he said. “For me, it’s most fun when you’re on one you get along with, where you sync up and they become an extension of your body. And when it’s a good one, a strong one, you can tell the diference from the regular horses in the barn. You can tell this is a better one.”

Although exercise riders are generally accepted as weighing more than jockeys, it isn’t by much.

“I could go back to race riding today,” Painter said, “because on my heaviest day I’m 112, but usually 110. I needed to be 105 when I was racing. Tere are guys that work for us that weigh 165, but they’re all bone and muscle.”

Meah, a self-proclaimed chocoholic who started as a jockey but now works out of the Richard Baltas barn, is 140 pounds and hasn’t fuctuated at all in the last 14 years.

“I was struggling before I quit as a jock-ey,” he said. “At the end I was 123 pounds. Two weeks later I was at 140 and haven’t changed a bit. But riding fve to 10 horses a day is like spending several hours in the row at the gym, every single day.”

While Cedeño started riding at age 3 and eventually went to jockey school in Pana-ma, Hendricks learned in a regular arena.

“My grandpa told me that the only way to teach someone to ride a horse was to put them on one,” he said. “You need arena time, and to get comfortable on diferent kinds of horses while strengthening your legs. I started riding on the track because I had the opportunity to do so, but for most people it is easiest to start on a farm.

“Te best thing you can do is start get-ting on babies (2-year-olds), since they don’t have any habits you have to fght against. You teach them while they teach you. Te more horses you get on—all diferent types and kinds—the more you learn.”

“A farm is the best way to go,” Painter confrmed. “Not only do you get expe-rience on babies, but you can ride older horses coming of a layof. Tings move at a slower pace, so you really have time to learn.”

Painter ofered another layer of advice for those seeking jobs riding at the track.

“Go to the best trainers’ barns frst,” she said. “Tose are the ones who will look

out for you and teach you. Be a sponge; watch everything. Learn from the grooms and the hotwalkers and the other riders. Be observant. It’s never bad to know a bit about everything.”

Many farms won’t hire inexperienced riders, but Mike Allen, farm manager at Tommy Town Toroughbreds in Santa Ynez, suggested working up the ladder.

“All our green riders started as grooms here,” he said. “Tey expressed an inter-est in riding, and I had already seen their work on the ground with horses. Tose that have good timing on the ground tend to have good timing on a horse’s back. I’m not likely to hire someone of the street if I haven’t watched them work with horses, but I’m willing to teach people who have proven themselves.”

Good communication between the rid-er and trainer is paramount. Rosales said of Masochistic, “If he’s not pulling like he normally does in the morning, then I know he doesn’t feel good. Ten I can tell the trainer if he’s good or not.”

Exercise riders have added pressure when they ride a standout runner.

“Every day is important to all horses,” Painter said. “But when you have one as special as Beholder, where there is so much expected of her, there is a bit of pressure on me. It’s my job to make sure that physically and mentally she is ready to do what we’re asking of her. I feel very fortunate to be riding with her, working with her, and being a part of it all.”

Meah has ridden some fantastic hors-es as well, including champion Declan’s Moon, Breeders’ Cup winners Singletary and Goldencents, and I’ll Have Another, winner of the Kentucky Derby (gr. I) and Preakness (gr. I).

“A lot of people think exercise riding is glamorous,” he said. “We are done by 10 in the morning and can do whatever we want the rest of the day. Tey aren’t thinking about the seven days a week at 4 in the morning. You just have to love it to stick it out. I’m always wondering, ‘Where is my next big horse coming from? Who will be that next big win-ner?’ Every day you have to be passionate about fnding that wow feeling from sit-ting on a good one.”

Golden State Series

BY TRACY GANTZ

Undefeated California-bred 2-year-olds opened Del Mar’s second Bing Crosby Season, demon-

strating just what the state can pro-duce. But older Cal-breds also made their mark, as the fall meeting ofered several Golden State Series stakes.

Tis year Del Mar had racing dates over Breeders’ Cup weekend because Keene-land hosted that series in Kentucky in-stead of at Santa Anita as it had for three consecutive years. Del Mar opened Oct. 29, the day before the Breeders’ Cup, with the Golden State Juvenile Fillies as the feature race, followed by the Oct. 30 Golden State Juvenile on the frst day of the Breeders’ Cup.

PACIFIC HEAT’S GOLDEN STATE

JUVENILE FILLIES

Well before she captured the $201,000 Golden State Juvenile Fillies, Pacifc Heat had generated signifcant buzz. First she

topped the 2014 Barretts October year-ling sale for $175,000. Ten, in her Sept. 25 racing debut at Los Alamitos, she blasted her foes, crushing them by 131⁄2 lengths in a 51⁄2-furlong Cal-bred and Cal-ifornia-sired maiden race.

Trainer Peter Eurton, bloodstock agent Larry Zap, and owner Joe Ciaglia loved

Pacifc Heat right from the start. Te daughter of Unusual Heat—Hotlantic, by Stormy Atlantic, wowed them at the sale.

“I loved everything about her—her mind, her body, Unusual Heat, and the bottom side,” Eurton said at the sale.

Tey bought the flly from John Har-ris’ Harris Farms consignment. Harris and Don Valpredo bred her as well as her older half sister Long Hot Summer. A $260,000 Barretts May sale-topper, Long Hot Summer won the 2014 Generous Portion Stakes.

Ciaglia owns Pacifc Heat in partner-ship with Sharon Alesia and Mike Burns. Eurton was in Kentucky to saddle Kobe’s Back in the Breeders’ Cup Sprint (gr. I) on the day of the Golden State Juvenile Fillies.

Rafael Bejarano piloted Pacifc Heat in her frst race, but he also had ridden Patri-otic Diamond to victory in the Generous Portion Stakes and stuck with the stakes winner for the Golden State Juvenile Fil-lies. Joe Talamo picked up the mount on Pacifc Heat.

“I was lucky they chose me,” said Ta-lammo. “I was loaded all the way around there.”

Pacifc Heat went of as the 7-5 favorite

in the seven-furlong Juvenile Fillies. She sat in third early as Dragon Flower went to the lead, and then Talamo let a few more get ahead of him. Te jockey knew he could ask Pacifc Heat at any time, and indeed she edged forward in the turn on the outside.

Pacifc Heat had an easy lead at the top of the stretch, when Talamo shook the reins at her and gave her a couple of taps. She responded to draw away from the feld, Talamo wrapping up on her to-ward the wire, the margin of victory 51⁄4 lengths and the time 1:24.31. Sambamza-jammin fnished second, three-quarters of a length ahead of second-choice Patriotic Diamond.

“We knew that she was special when we bought her, and she’s proven it today,” said Zap. “Just a classy flly from day one.”

It didn’t take long for lucrative ofers to start arriving for Pacifc Heat. But the owners are having a terrifc time racing her and turned down the early requests for a sale. Tough it’s a long way of, the way she won had the owners contemplat-ing the 2016 Kentucky Oaks (gr. I).

SMOKEY IMAGE’S GOLDEN STATE

JUVENILE

Smokey Image has taken the undefeated title even further. When he captured the $200,500 Golden State Juvenile Stakes Oct. 30, he was winning his ffth consecu-tive race and his fourth consecutive stakes.

He has also demonstrated versatility by winning at three diferent tracks, from north to south. He began his career in June during the Oak Tree at Pleasanton meeting, where he won twice, breaking his maiden in his debut and adding the Everett Nevin Stakes.

Moving to Santa Rosa, Smokey Image collected the Cavonnier Juvenile Stakes before heading to Del Mar. Tree days be-fore the end of the summer meet, the colt made his frst successful foray to Southern

California to win the I’m Smokin Stakes.Smokey Image unveiled a new aspect

of his ability in the seven-furlong Gold-en State Juvenile. He bobbled at the start from post two, and the tardy beginning allowed others to get ahead and box him in down the backstretch.

“I was nervous,” admitted trainer Greg James. “I was hoping he would get out. He doesn’t like being behind at all.”

Shufed back to seventh into the turn, Smokey Image looked like he might be in danger of losing.

“As we headed into the far turn, I was surrounded,” said Juan Hernandez, Smokey Image’s regular pilot. “I had three horses in front of me and two outside. For a bit there I was really nervous; I didn’t know if I’d get out. But then we got some room and he went. I had to go inside, then outside, but he’s a runner. We got it done.”

Tey did indeed. Even with the trou-ble, Smokey Image managed to win by three-quarters of a length in 1:22.94.

“We haven’t seen the best of him, not at all,” said James. “He keeps getting better all the time. He loves this track, but then he seems to love them all.”

James trains the son of Southern Im-age—Special Smoke, by Free House, for the Irvin Racing Stable. Betty Irvin is con-tinuing the racing stable of her husband, Robert, who died June 11. Te Irvins

bred Smokey Image in the name of their C-Punch Ranch..

Te Irvins purchased Nee-shanha, Smokey Image’s second dam, for $9,000 at a Barretts mixed sale in foal to Free House. James trained winner Special Smoke for the couple as well.

With the Golden State Juvenile, Smokey Image brought his record to fve wins in fve starts for earn-ings of $297,600.

MY MONET’S BETTY GRABLE

STAKES

Cal-breds didn’t only star in juvenile events. Older fllies and mares met Nov. 8 in the $100,500 Betty Grable Stakes at seven fur-longs. Several in the feld brought stakes credentials to the race, with My Monet going of as the 12-10 favorite in the eight-horse feld.

During Del Mar’s summer ses-sion, My Monet had run second after setting the early pace in the one-mile Tranquility Lake Stakes to Grable entrant Wild in the Saddle. My Monet then ran fourth to champion Beholder in the Zen-yatta Stakes (gr. I) at Santa Anita.

Tis time at a shorter distance, jockey Santiago Gonzalez broke My Monet on top, but he wasn’t concerned when three others got ahead of him.

My Monet was in a beautiful position into the turn on the rail in second, behind

only Yana. My Monet cut the corner and had the lead into the stretch, and she held of the closing Kiss At Midnight to win by a half-length in 1:23.16. Ashley’s Sassy fnished third.

Tat led to a Trifecta for Decarchy, who stands at Magali Farms in Santa Ynez. My Monet, Kiss At Midnight, and Ashley’s Sassy are all by the stallion.

My Monet impressed her jockey and her trainer, Ricky Agarie.

“It was a good trip for me and a good race for her,” said Gonzalez. “She ran hard.”

For Agarie, who trains My Monet for the KM Racing Enterprise of Kenji Mo-rinaga, the Betty Grable victory was espe-cially memorable.

“Tis is my frst stakes win anywhere,” said Agarie. “A year ago today I ran my frst starter on my own here at Del Mar. Good anniversary.”

My Monet was also winning her frst stakes, though she had placed in this year’s Adoration Stakes (gr. III), Osunitas Stakes, and Fran’s Valentine Stakes. Mori-naga claimed her for $40,000 in her frst start back in April 2014. Te 4-year-old daughter of the Lord Avie mare Madam has now won six of 19 races for earnings of $335,838.

Pat Tompson’s Ridgeley Farm bred My Monet, who comes from an excel-lent family. Te late Clement Hirsch bred the mare, Madam, and though she never raced, Madam is out of stakes-winning Magic Sister. Magic Sister is a half sister to multiple grade I winner Magical Maiden and to 1989 Hollywood Juvenile Cham-pionship (gr. II) winner Magical Mile.

SOLID WAGER’S CARY GRANT

STAKES

Solid Wager was indeed a solid wager in the $100,250 Cary Grant Stakes Nov. 22. With Big Macher going of as the 2-5 favorite, Solid Wager paid $20 as the third choice.

Madera Toroughbreds bred Solid Wager, a 4-year-old gelded son of Bir-donthewire—G Ma, by Valid Wager. G Ma started only once while her dam, Perfected, earned $140,090. Without the coveted black type, Solid Wager brought only $3,000 from Hi Country Sales at the 2012 Barretts October yearling sale.

Peter Miller trains Solid Wager for Gary and Cecil Barber and Stanford Stable of Sandra Ann Tsujihara, Michael Joseph De Anda, and Lawrence Sai Kit Miao. Te gelding broke his maiden in his racing de-but. He started three more times in 2013, his best efort a third in the Willard L. Proctor Memorial Stakes.

Solid Wager won only once at 3 last year, but early this year he captured two allowance optional claiming events and

added another in October, all at San-ta Anita. He also fnished third in the Tiznow Stakes.

Still, it was asking a lot for him to go up against Big Macher, a two-time Cal-bred champion and multiple graded stakes winner. Te seven-furlong Cary Grant also attracted California Flag Handicap winner Forest Chatter, two-time stakes winner Soi Phet, stakes winners Raised a Secret and Got Even, and the good allow-ance runner Bold Fantasy.

Big Macher hopped at the start, and

Forest Chatter took the early lead. Forest Chatter and Got Even vied down the backside, while Solid Wa-ger raced in last early. Solid Wager and Talamo remained in last into the stretch and then mounted a fu-rious closing charge on the outside that took them to a half-length vic-tory in 1:22.23.

Raised a Secret fnished second, with Got Even, also trained by Mill-er, third. Forest Chatter fnished fourth, followed by Bold Fantasy, Soi Phet, and Big Macher.

Victor Espinoza had originally been named on Solid Wager. But when he called in sick that day, Ta-lamo inherited the mount. It was a big week for Talamo, who had married Elizabeth Ellis, daughter of trainer Ron Ellis, two days before.

“Well, isn’t this sweet—nice way to end the week,” said Talamo. “He’s a nice horse, and he was a runner

today.”Miller had entered four horses in the

Cary Grant, but scratched Richard’s Boy and Red Outlaw.

“Wow, I guess I scratched the right two,” said Miller. “Got Even was a little slow to get going—I would have liked to have seen him on a clear lead by himself. But the pace was moderate for these kinds of horses. Solid Wager was within striking range, so I felt pretty good. He’s a grinder. I knew it was going to be close, but he got up there.”

Goldikova Stakes

LEADER ON THE TURFUZZIEL FIRES AT DEL MAR

BY TRACY GANTZ

If ever a horse deserved a race named for her, it’s Goldikova. Te

Irish-bred mare won three consecutive editions of the Breeders’ Cup Mile (gr. IT), twice when the Breeders’ Cup was held at Santa Anita. Tus, it spoke well of Califor-nia-foaled Uzziel that in her frst graded stakes victory, she captured a mile turf race named for Goldikova.

Te Goldikova Stakes (gr. IIT) began as an Oak Tree Racing Association stakes called the Las Palmas Hand-icap at 11⁄8 miles on the turf. It was shortened to a mile in

2005 and renamed for Gol-dikova in 2012. Santa Anita ran it as an undercard race for the three years it hosted the Breeders’ Cup, and this year Del Mar ran the race the day after Keeneland hosted the Breeders’ Cup.

Irish-bred Elektrum, win-ner of the John C. Mabee Stakes (gr. IIT) at Del Mar and second in the Rodeo Drive Stakes (gr. IT) at San-ta Anita, went of as the even-money favorite. Bettors made Uzziel the 6-1 ffth

choice. James and Tammy McKenney’s Uzziel hadn’t been of the board since the beginning of Del Mar’s sum-mer meeting, having won the C.E.R.F. Stakes there and most recently running second in the L.A. Woman Stakes (gr. III) at Santa Anita. But her form had been on the dirt.

Uzziel relished the turf. Jockey Kent Desormeaux, riding Uzziel for his brother, Keith, who trains her, broke her out of the gate on the lead. She rated well on the lead through moderate fractions of :23.66, :47.55, and 1:11.45.

“Keith told me that the way to win with her today was to just let her roll,” said Kent. “Her demeanor today was so much better than last time. She let me ride her today; she was an angel. She tries every time. You’ve got to love her for that.”

Uzziel won the Goldikova by 21⁄4 lengths over Queen of the Sand, with Gender Agen-da third. She completed the mile in 1:34.77.

Te McKenneys bred the 4-year-old daughter of Har-lington—Pretti Woman, by Lord At War. Periodically, they bring her home to their Ster-ling Shadow Ranch in Sanger, Calif., and Uzziel has done well on that schedule.

Pretti Woman is out of Quick Catch Me, a half sister to Looie Capote, who won several stakes at Santa Anita in the early 1990s. Te McKen-neys purchased Pretti Woman for $25,000 in foal to Our Emblem at the 2003 Keene-land November mixed sale.

Uzziel also won the 2014 Santa Paula Stakes and Bever-ly J. Lewis Stakes, and she has placed in several graded races. Te Goldikova was her sixth win in 20 starts, and she has now earned $457,488.

MIGUEL “MIKE” JIMENEZ

BY EMILY SHIELDS

Ballena Vista Farm’s long-time farm manager, Manuel Ochoa, had nearly every-

thing under control: a sprawl-ing, smoothly operating proper-ty, several of California’s leading stallions, and a steady churn of broodmares foaling and being bred back every spring.

One thing wasn’t exactly how he wanted it, though, and that was rais-ing the weanlings.

“I was having trouble with them,” Ochoa said. “I’ve been here al-most 25 years, and that’s the one

thing I needed.”Enter Miguel “Mike” Jimenez,

who started working at Ballena Vista in November 2007.

“He dedicates a lot of time to the weanlings,” Ochoa said. “He’s taught me a lot of good things about raising them since he came around.”

Jimenez is now Ballena Vista Farm’s ofcial broodmare manager, which is a far cry from his humble beginning at San Luis Rey Downs, where his father, a former jockey, was an exercise rider for the great Charlie Whittingham. One of his morning mounts was Horse of the Year Sun-day Silence.

“I grew up there and started

walking hots for Whittingham when I was 13,” said Jimenez. “My next job was with Leigh Ann Howard; she taught me pretty much everything I know.”

Howard was determined that Jimenez would get an education while working with the horses.

“I made sure he fnished high school,” she said. “He did so well that I wanted him to go to college, but he fell in love with a really nice girl and they got married when they graduated.”

Jimenez joined Howard at her Valley Creek Farm and worked his way up, showing of what Howard calls his “natural” horsemanship skills. When that farm closed, Howard was active in helping Jimenez seek another position.

“I hated moving his family,” Howard said. “But things worked out very well at Ballena Vista.”

Now the Tijuana native is the man who takes over when Ochoa is of the property.

“He teases the mares, he handles foaling and after care, and he works with the vet to do all the vacci-nations and deworming,” Ochoa said. “He is a very good horseman and is very qualifed for his job.”

Jimenez noted that he is constantly busy. “Tere is a lot of sales prep to do during the of season, and year-round there are 50 or 60 mares here. During breeding season that’s 150 to 200 mares, and we’ve been foaling out about 100 babies each year for the past four years.”

But the troublesome weanlings are where Jimenez spends a good chunk of his time in the fall.

“We teach them to pick up their feet and lead, and we brush them. We are getting them to where they are easier to manage for our farrier and vet and for any sales.”

Jimenez owns his own weanling, a “well-man-nered character,” who is by Tribal Rule. Tat Storm Cat stallion was the pride of Ballena Vista, but he died suddenly of a heart attack in May 2014.

“Tat hurt,” Jimenez said. “He was such a nice horse, and he got the job done. I was really bummed for two weeks.”

Jimenez likes all of the farm’s stallions, includ-ing California’s leading sire Bluegrass Cat, grade I winner Eddington, and the well-bred Calimonco.

“Tey are all gentlemen in the breeding shed,” Jimenez said, adding that he owns a mare in foal to Calimonco, due in early 2016.

Jimenez lives on the farm with his wife and two daughters, ages 18 and 13.

“Tey both play softball, and my younger one is taking riding lessons,” he said. “She really likes it and has already started asking for her own horse.”

With a tradition of natural equine ability in her blood, it’s no surprise that Jimenez’ daughter in-herited his love of horses.

Barretts Fall Sale

BY TRACY GANTZ

The $140,000 California-bred sale-topper, seven other Cal-breds, and a California-sired

youngster took down nine of the 10 top spots among yearlings sold at the Barretts fall sale at Del Mar Oct. 27. Tey represented a wide variety of sires and sellers, demonstrating the strength of the Toroughbreds being produced in California.

Deron Pearson’s DP Racing purchased the sale-topper from the consignment of Mary Knight. Janis Whitham bred the son of Good Journey—Southern Oasis, by Southern Halo, and he was foaled and raised at Magali Farms in Santa Ynez.

“He’s an extremely balanced, beauti-fully-built animal,” said Tom Hudson,

manager at Magali. “He’s a gorgeous mover. As a baby, he was one of the fast-est horses in the pastures, always in the front.”

Te colt is also the last of the line. Good Journey stood at Magali but shut-tled to Australia, where he now resides full time. Hudson said that Whitham pensioned stakes-placed Southern Oasis after this colt’s birth.

“As a racehorse, she broke a leg, and she was one of the frst horses at Alamo Pintado to get this special surgery—she’s got two plates with 18 screws in her leg,” Hudson said.

Southern Oasis received therapy at Magali and improved to where she could become a broodmare. She has also pro-duced 2015 Snow Chief Stakes winner Neveradoubt, by Magali sire Decarchy.

“She can live the rest of her life at your farm,” Whitham told Hudson when

they decided Southern Oasis should be pensioned.

Two other yearlings brought six fgures at the sale, which this year was expanded to include broodmares and horses of rac-ing age. Harris Farms consigned a Ken-tucky-bred son of Street Boss—Storm Queen, by Stormy Atlantic, and the colt sold for $120,000 to trainer Jef Bonde.

She’s So Pretty was the top-priced flly at $100,000. Tough foaled in Kentucky, she is by Stormin Fever, who stands at Rancho Temescal in Piru, Ca-lif., and she is registered for Cal-bred/California-sired races. Greg Gilchrist, the leading buyer at the sale, purchased She’s So Pretty, who is out of the Cahill Road mare Cielo Dulce. Stormy Hull and Ginger Samples’ Critter Creek Farm consigned the half sister to stakes winner Sweet Saga.

Andy Havens’ Havens Bloodstock Agency led all consignors at the sale. He handled the dispersal of horses owned by the estate of E.W. (Buddy) Johnston in partnership with Patsy Beruman. Ha-vens also sold a $90,000 yearling Cal-bred flly by frst-year sire Coil. John Brocklebank bought the youngster, who is out of the Tough Knight mare Mia F Eighteen, also the dam of two stakes winners.

Barretts sold 124 yearlings for a gross of $2,135,000, an average of $17,218, and a median of $10,000. Tirty-one horses of racing age averaged $9,719, while 20 broodmares averaged $4,910. Seventy yearlings, fve horses of racing age, and six broodmares did not sell.

“We were pleased with the sale, and we had a good attendance,” said Kim Lloyd, general manager of Barretts. “When people liked the horses, they went for them pretty strong. Tis was our year of transition, and we’re very pleased with the help we have received from Del Mar.” The $140,000 sale-topper, shown at Magali Farms, was one of three six-fgure yearlings sold

EQUINE

JOURNEY

LEADS TO

BRAZEAU

FARM

BY EMILY SHIELDS

Nadine Anderson’s journey from the Arabian horse show world into Tor-

oughbred racing and to then managing Brazeau Torough-bred Farms is intricate and unfolds like a fairy tale.

Te Vancouver, Canada, na-tive began her equine career in the Arabian horse show ring, where she had tremendous suc-cess. Now she owns Torough-breds, including the multiple stakes-winning California-bred Wild in the Saddle, who races for Anderson and Cheyenne Ortiz.

“I had been a diehard show person, showing at the top national level,” Anderson said. “But really no matter how hard you show and win, you still can’t make money, you only spend it. You can’t eat a trophy or sell your ribbons, so I thought there’s got to be a better way to have my horses

earn their own keep.”Anderson decided to embark

on an ambitious campaign of racing her show horses.

“It was unheard of at the time, but I put them in race training, where they did amaz-ingly well,” she said. “I had a stallion, Serazim, that had the right type of pedigree, so, when he was 8, I put him in race training. He won races and was a phenomenal horse, and went on to be one of the top endur-ance sires in the world.”

Te success of Anderson’s Arabians had already drawn the attention of Sheikh Mo-hammed bin Rashid Al Mak-toum, who invited Anderson to the United Arab Emirates and bought numerous United States-bred Arabians.

“Arabians are in my heart and always will be, but if you go to the track and watch an Arabian race, followed by a Toroughbred race, it’s night and day,” Anderson said. “I

was galloping Toroughbreds at the track to help pay for my Arabian addiction, but I realized the Toroughbreds are a completely diferent level.”

Her competitive nature re-fused to let Anderson approach the Toroughbred world in any other fashion than diving in completely. She worked in Washington frst, then Ore-gon, and eventually moved to Northern California to gallop for Jerry Hollendorfer. After taking out her assistant trainer’s license, she married a trainer and helped run a large racing operation.

“I learned a lot, but I always liked the farm and thought one day I’d like to have a farm or manage one,” Anderson said. “Eventually, I got of the track and managed for Getaway Toroughbred Farms.”

When that farm unexpected-ly closed in 2012 and sold, 170 horses were left with nowhere to go. Anderson took it upon herself to fnd a new home for the horses.

“Tat was the hardest thing I’ve ever done in my life,” she said. “Trying to fnd a place was just as difcult as moving them because where do you fnd a place that big? Te days were ticking down, and it wasn’t until three days before they had to be gone that I found a rundown farm with its fencing on the ground. Te barns were full of garbage.”

Anderson stayed awake for three days, moving the horses with the help of friends. Right when her fnances had run out and she was ready to give up, fate intervened again, in the form of Paul and Aileen Brazeau.

“Tey showed up and asked

NADINE ANDERSON

if they could buy some horses,” Anderson recalled. “Tey were my angels.”

From that dilapidated dirt property emerged Brazeau Toroughbred Farm, a more than 80-acre, full-service equine facility.

“We have a phenomenal new track that was developed by (San-ta Anita Racetrack superinten-dent) Dennis Moore,” Anderson said. “It has a natural footing completely devoid of rocks, and a 19-foot rise from the far turn to the top of the stretch. It really helps the horses’ ftness.”

Other farm improvements include a new training barn with 30 stalls, a newly fenced fve-acre pasture, improvements to the existing well and the building of a secondary well, and large amounts of newly planted alfalfa.

“We’re always doing something, constantly,” Anderson said. “Someday I might be done with all the building, but not for a while. I put everything into giving the horses the best lives possible.

“I don’t like box stalls because I think they stand in them too much at the track, so all of our stalls have a common wall where horses can visit. Te barns face such so that the afternoon breeze runs through, giving nice airfow. I want to make their lives completely stress free. It’s a spa break to come here.”

Anderson said the farm’s layup and rehabilitation program has increased by 200%. Horses such as the graded stakes-placed Cal-bred My Monet have gone on “holiday” at the farm. Wild in the Sad-dle’s quality time at the farm has enabled her to make several comebacks. Te 6-year-old daughter of Silic—Local Law, by Wild Deputy, won the 2015 Dream of Summer Stakes and Tranquility Lake Stakes and has earned $367,218.

“Paul and Aileen are two of the nicest people you’ll ever meet,” Anderson said. “Tey love horses, are completely vested in California racing, and are all about doing the right thing.”

Five stallions call Brazeau Tor-oughbred Farm home, including elder statesman Stormy Jack, who missed the 2015 breeding season but will be back for 2016. Te graded stakes-placed stakes winner is one of the few sons of Bertran-do standing in the country.

“He is looking fabulous this year,” Anderson said.

Despite being dismissed in the 2010 Kentucky Derby Presented by Yum! Brands (gr. I) as a “mere” stakes winner on grass, Make Music for Me fnished fourth and went on to be multiple graded stakes-placed. Te son of Bernstein is not

only exceptional looking him-self, but is stamping his foals.

“Te frst babies are phe-nomenal,” Anderson said. “I’ve never had a baby as perfect and beautiful as this one flly by him; she’s everything you could want, friendly and good minded. Tey have good legs and good hips and a fair amount of moxie.”

One of the better-bred stallions in California is World Renowned, a son of A.P. Indy out of the grade I-winning mare Splendid Blended.

“He was her only foal,” An-derson said. “Every one of his foals is the spitting image of A.P. Indy, little chips of the same block. Splendid Blended was a mare with real heart and desire to win, but World Renowned is

a very laid-back stallion.”Te farm’s frst stallion, Best Minister,

is semi-retired from Toroughbreds now and mostly sires sport horse ofspring. In-dian Gods rounds out the stallion roster.

“He only covered eight mares last year,” Anderson said, “because we bought him so late in the season.”

Te son of the late California-bred grade I winner Indian Charlie is an outcross to the Seattle Slew/A.P. Indy lines, as well as Storm Cat/Tribal Rule and Bertrando lines that are prominent in California. Another son of Indian Charlie, Uncle Mo, did exceptionally well with his frst crop, siring Sentient Jet Breeders’ Cup Juvenile (gr. I) winner Nyquist.

Although Anderson is a full Tor-oughbred convert, she still keeps a small contingency of Arabians on the Brazeau property, where she lives.

“I have three mares and one little stallion, who is a great-great-grandson of Serazim,” she said. “He’s our teaser and can bring anything into season. We have a 98% conception rate, and I believe it’s because of him.”

From the Arabian show ring to Brazeau Toroughbred Farm, Anderson is a wel-come fxture in the equine world.

Health

BY HEATHER SMITH THOMAS

Adverse reactions occasionally occur in horses after injection. Te reaction may be as minor as

swelling at the injection site, or a seri-ous allergic reaction resulting in hives all over the body. Most serious is a life-threatening anaphylactic reaction in which the horse goes into shock and collapses after the injection.

Reactions can happen even when in-jections are given properly and nothing is wrong with the vaccine or drug being in-jected. Any time you inject a product into your horse, potential exists for an adverse reaction. Reactions are even more likely to occur, however, if vaccine or medication is given improperly (wrong site, wrong dos-age, etc.) or if questionable products are injected.

Katherine Wilson, a clinical assistant professor of large animal medicine at the Virginia-Maryland Regional College of Veterinary Medicine in Blacksburg, Va., says that intramuscular and intravenous are the two primary routes for injecting medications into horses.

“Usually, we don’t recommend that owners try to give intravenous injections unless their veterinarian teaches them how to do it,” Wilson said. “Te usual IV route is into the jugular vein in the neck. Just behind the jugular vein is the carotid artery. If you inject a drug into that artery, it goes directly into the brain. Tis may cause anything from seizures to death. People need to be aware of this risk.”

Intramuscular injections are easier to give than IV injections and usually less risky, although some risk exists if certain products get into an artery.

“Usually, however, those arteries (which are deep in the muscle) are not going di-rectly into the brain,” said Wilson. “If you are injecting into a muscle and acciden-tally get into an artery, it’s generally not

as bad as if you injected directly into the carotid artery.

“But many of the things we inject into the muscle are not supposed to get directly into the bloodstream. If they do get into a vein or artery while you are in-jecting them, they can sometimes cause immediate reaction in the horse.”

Procaine penicillin G is the classic example.

“Tere are many diferent reasons for the reaction that might occur,” said Wil-son. “Sometimes there can be allergic re-action to the drug. But in the case of pen-icillin, the horse is reacting to some of the

other compounds in the penicillin. If this material gets into a blood vessel, the horse immediately becomes hyper-excitable and trembling. Depending on how much got into the blood vessel, the horse might start to panic, circling in the stall, pulling away from the handler, and running through fences if it’s outdoors, or may collapse and go immediately into a seizure on the ground.”

Tis violent reaction usually lasts a few minutes but seems like a long time to any-one witnessing it, hoping the horse won’t accidentally kill itself or injure the people nearby.

INJECTION REACTIONS

WHAT HORSE OWNERS

NEED TO KNOW

Any time an antibiotic is injected into a horse, the potential exists for an adverse reaction

http://www.ctba.com


“Tis is why, when we insert the needle, we draw back on the syringe plunger to make sure we haven’t gotten into a blood ves-sel,” said Wilson. “However, with all the cases of penicillin reac-tion that I’ve seen, the person doing the injection did aspirate the plunger and did not see any blood.

“Even though this technique is a requirement when giving an IM injection, it doesn’t necessarily prevent the material from get-ting into a blood vessel. One reason, especially with penicillin, is that it is very thick. Since you have to push a bit harder on the plunger to get it into the animal, this may push the needle in deeper than it was when you aspirated to check for blood.

“Usually, we don’t like to inject more than 15 to 20 ml in one site. But even at that volume you may end up breaking small capillaries and blood vessels due to the pressure of that much material pushed in there, and some of it may be accidentally ab-sorbed directly into the bloodstream.”

ANAPHYLACTIC REACTIONS

While penicillin in the bloodstream can cause serious prob-lems, other products getting into a blood vessel can be even more dangerous. Anaphylactic reaction in most cases can occur within fve to 10 minutes after injection, and it can cause a horse’s death, says Wilson.

“Essentially, the animal is having a very rapid immune response to the foreign material you injected,” said Wilson. “Sometimes there is swelling around the site of injection. Often the head will start to swell, or the horse will develop hives immediately. Te horse may have difculty breathing, and that’s the big risk.”

Tese reactions happen so quickly that if the veterinarian is the person who injected the horse, he/she will still be on the farm and can administer treatment. It’s always a good idea to observe the horse for about an hour after a vaccination, or at least 30 minutes, to make sure there’s no anaphylactic reaction.

“When a person has a fu shot, they make you sit there for 10 minutes while they watch you,” Wilson said.

“If a horse ever does have an anaphylactic reaction, the main things that can help are drugs that help counter the over-reac-tive efects of the immune system, such as corticosteroids, epi-

nephrine, and sometimes antihistamine or NSAIDs. Te big-gest problem with horses is that their nasal passages swell shut and they can’t breathe—since horses can’t breathe through the mouth. Sometimes it can also be an allergic reaction in the lungs, and they can’t breathe very well at all.

“Most times the swelling is mainly in the upper airways and nose, and in an emergency situation you could fnd some small-diameter hose that you could put into the nostrils and

keep the passages open. Te horse could keep breathing through the pieces of hose.”

A delayed hypersensitivity reaction can also happen, but it is often not as severe as an anaphylactic reaction.

“Usually, the horse doesn’t get to the point where it can’t breathe, but it could,” said Wilson. “Tis type of reaction usually doesn’t appear so quickly. It may occur a few hours later or even the next day.

“Most of the time these horses just develop hives all over the body. Te horse may be itchy or excitable. If this happens regu-larly after vaccination, the reactions may be worse in the future; the horse might develop anaphylaxis the next time. In this situa-tion it’s best to avoid giving that horse the same product again.”

LOCAL SWELLING/PAIN

Localized swelling and/or pain are the most common reactions to an intramuscular injection, like a person’s arm being sore and swollen after getting a vaccination.

“I have seen horses that have such painful swelling in their neck that they won’t put their head down to eat or drink,” said Wilson.

“Probably the biggest efect is that the soreness/stifness inhibits movement. It’s best to not inject anything into the horse’s neck, es-pecially vaccines, during the two or three days before a race because the horse uses its head and neck so much for balance and move-ment. If the horse is stif, it can’t perform very well.

“If the horse does develop a little bit of swelling and pain, the injection site should be monitored. If it becomes larger or more

painful, or if the horse develops a fever, it needs attention. Te swell-ing and pain should go away within 24 to 48 hours. If it doesn’t, this may mean the horse will develop an abscess.

“Oftentimes, when a horse develops swell-ing and pain that is noticeable the day after the injection (especially with a vaccination), the horse will also have a mild fever and may be dull and of feed. In this situation have a veteri-narian come and look at the horse.”

In some cases the veterinarian might prescribe an anti-in-fammatory medication so the horse will feel better and start eating and drinking again. Some horses react more adversely than others and take a couple of days to feel better again after vaccination.

“If the pain and swelling are due to the start of an abscess, it’s usually because some contamination went in with the in-jection,” said Wilson, “although in some instances horses can develop abscesses that are not bacterial.

“Usually, when a horse develops an ab-scess, we ultrasound the area to fnd the abscess and lance it. We open it up, fush it, and provide a drain until it can heal. Usually an abscess won’t lead to a disfgur-ing scar when it heals, but it certainly can, depending on how big it is.”

CLOSTRIDIAL INFECTION

“Te worst kind of abscess is develop-ment of clostridial myonecrosis after an injection,” said Wilson. “Te common term for that is gas gangrene. Tis type of infection is caused by a certain type of clostridial bacteria that are in the environ-ment, everywhere.

“Tere is a lot of debate about whether they actually live within the horse’s mus-cle tissue (and are already there when you inject the horse) or if they have to come in from the outside. Te main thing is that they are everywhere in the environment.”

Tese bacteria can be in a dormant

state for a long time and then multiply when conditions are right. Tey grow best in an airless environment without oxygen, like bruised and damaged tissue with very little blood supply.

“When they multiply, they produce a lot of toxins that damage the surrounding tissue and produce gas,” said Wilson. “All the tissue and muscle around that area may die and slough of. Tis infection can spread up through the facial planes (the layers of tissue around the muscles). If a horse gets an injection in the neck and then develops clostridial myonecrosis, the whole side of the neck might eventually be afected and slough away. Te necrotic area may spread clear up to the head and down to the shoulder.

“Usually, those horses feel really sick and have a fever. Tey are of feed and depressed

because the clostridial bacteria produce toxins that not only afect lo-cal tissues but also sys-temically as well. Some of these horses may die, and at minimum end up with severe disfgure-ment.”

Treatment must con-tinue for a long time while the area heals over. It’s similar to a deep burn in which all the skin and sometimes even part of the muscle is gone.

Some types of injec-tions seem riskier for clostridial infections.

“One of the most common is funixin meglumine (Bana-mine), if it is given in the muscle rather than in the vein,” said Wilson. “Tis is probably due to a combination of things, including the fact that funixin is one of the more frequent drugs given to horses. Tere is also some thought that this drug sets up an ideal pH in the tissues for these bacteria to grow in. Usually, a person is injecting at least 5 to 10 mls of funixin, and it does cause local tissue damage just because of the volume being pushed into the muscle.

“My recommendation when a horse must be given funixin is to wait and have the veterinarian administer it IV unless it’s an emergency situation and your vet isn’t going to get there for several hours.

“Another alternative, rather than hav-ing the owner give it intramuscularly, is

to squirt the injectable product orally into the horse’s mouth. It is readily absorbed through the membranes inside the mouth. Tis is not a labeled usage, and it’s not legal to prescribe it that way because there is an alter-native oral paste product. But the paste has to get into the stomach and small intestine to be absorbed; it takes longer to start working. So if the horse owner has the injectable prod-uct, it could be given orally in an emergency if the veterinarian

recommends doing this. “Most intramuscular injections of fu-

nixin do not result in clostridial myone-crosis, but I certainly wouldn’t want it to happen to my horse.”

To minimize the risk for reactions, it’s best to inject into a large muscle area with good blood supply (for absorbing the in-jection).

“Tis is why we like to use the neck, and the muscles at the back of the hind leg,” said Wilson. “We don’t use the glu-teal muscles (rump). Even though those are very big muscles and can absorb the injection nicely, if it did happen to devel-op an abscess or clostridial myonecrosis, it would be nearly impossible to establish good drainage. We rely on gravity to help drain an abscess.”

Always inject into a clean, dry area. “Some people wipe the area with alco-

hol before injecting, but then it must be allowed to dry frst so you are not inject-ing into wet skin,” said Wilson. “Alcohol does not sterilize anything, but it can help remove surface debris. You’d have to clip the hair of and use a surgical scrub for 10 minutes (not alcohol), to get it really clean. So I rarely wipe with alcohol. If the horse is muddy and the mud is dry, I just brush of the mud with a brush or towel and try to inject into a clean, dry area.”

If a horse always reacts to vaccination by being dull for a couple days, or stif and sore, giving anti-infammatory med-ication can minimize this.

“A lot of people give those horses funix-in just before vaccination, to have some anti-infammatory already on board,” Wilson said. “If the horse has had one of the more serious reactions or hypersensi-tivity reaction like hives or anaphylaxis, generally it’s not the vaccine itself that causes the reaction, but rather the adju-vant. Sometimes, if a horse reacts to one brand of rabies vaccine, for instance, it may not react to another.”

If the horse is sensitive to vaccination against one of the diseases you don’t want to omit in the annual health program, you might try changing products.

“If the horse reacts to one of the combi-nation products, such as the eastern/west-ern encephalomyelitis and tetanus combi-nation, it’s rare that the horse would react to the tetanus part,” said Wilson. “Most

horses would be reacting to the adjuvant. It might be worth trying diferent brands or diferent combinations.”

Te horse might also react less to the vaccines given separately, a couple of weeks apart, rather than giving one com-bo vaccine that covers four or fve difer-ent diseases.

Some drugs should always be given in-travenously and never into the muscle.

“Tey can cause chemical damage to the muscle tissues,” said Wilson. “Phen-ylbutazone (Bute) is an example; it should be given IV. If some of it leaks out of the

vein into the tissues, it causes the tissue to die and slough of.”

Some antibiotics are also irritating to muscle tissue. For instance, oxytetracy-cline should only be given IV to horses. It should never be injected into a horse’s muscle or it will cause severe pain and “burning” of the tissues.

It’s always important to use proper in-jection sites and techniques, follow label directions for administration and storage of the product, and pay attention to ex-piration dates to minimize the risk for problems.

These statistics are for active California-based sires with a minimum of 50 foals of racing age, ranked here by their lifetime Average Earnings Index (AEI.) The statistics shown here are compiled by The Jockey Club Information Systems (TJCIS). While every effort is made to prevent errors and omissions, California Thoroughbred cannot guarantee their complete and total accuracy. A dagger (†) indicates a stallion that has been pensioned or has died, a dot (•) that he is now standing elsewhere (sires no longer standing in California remain on these lists until their last Cal-bred crop turns 3 years old), a double dagger (‡) that he is not standing in California in 2015 but will stand in the state in 2016. Freshman sires are highlighted in bold text.. Statistics cover racing in North America (U.S., Canada and Puerto Rico), England, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) only. Stakes winners and wins follow TJCIS stakes rules. Percentages are based upon number of named foals of racing age.
