An Important ChapterComes To A Close

California’s Thoroughbred breeding and racing industryreceived some very bad news recently with the announce-ment that Marty and Pam Wygod’s River Edge Farm willbe closing after 35 years of operation. Located in Buellton,California, River Edge has been one of the most successfulbreeding operations in the state each year.

In fact, the Wygods were California’s leading breedersin 2006, 2007 and 2008, and have bred the earners of morethan $50 million over the past three decades. They havecontinually stood the leading sires in the state, year afteryear, and have been one of the largest participants in theCalifornia-Bred Incentive Awards Program.

The loss of this historic breeding power house will obvi-ously have long term negative effects on the quality andquantity of horses produced in the Golden State. The Wygodoperation is irreplaceable. There are very few that are willingand capable to make the investment that they made.

Fortunately for California, the River Edge-based stal-lions will remain in the state and be relocated to otherfarms. In 2009, their stallions Tribal Rule, Benchmark andBertrando covered 228 of 3,113 mares bred in the state.Their newest stallion, Dixie Chatter, reportedly coverednearly 80 mares this year.

The Wygods have also announced that the dispersal oftheir California breeding stock and foals will take place atBarretts Equine Limited in conjunction with the CaliforniaThoroughbred Breeders Association (CTBA) co-sponsoredyearling sale in October. This will provide a significantopportunity for California breeders to purchase some

proven-quality mares. It is extremely important that theindustry does its best to retain this breeding stock. Withthe lucrative racing and incentive program offering over$30 million, such mares are immensely beneficial and vitalto the continued production of top Cal-breds.

Since the farm began in 1975, manager Russell Drake hasbeen at the helm. For the past 15 years, I have annually vis-ited nearly every farm in the state and I can tell you thatthere is not a more professional, hands-on and successfulfarm manager than Russell. I hope we can keep him active,as the industry will sure miss his presence.

As I stated earlier, the entire Rive Edge operation willbe very difficult to replace, but we do also have many othermajor breeders/owners who continue to invest in and sup-port California. The CTBA will continue to do its best torepresent those breeders/owners and farms, and providethe best programs to market their horses.

On another note, as you can see on the cover of thisedition of California Thoroughbred, the Cal-bred legendBest Pal is going to be a 2010 inductee into the NationalMuseum of Racing’s Hall of Fame. In August, he willbecome the seventh Cal-bred to be bestowed this honor.

Bred and owned by the late John and Betty Mabee’sGolden Eagle Farm, Best Pal retired with 18 wins and morethan $5.6 million in earnings. He is currently ranked secondbehind only Tiznow ($6,427,830) on the list of all-timeleading Cal-bred money winners.

Congratulations to the Mabee family and everyone atGolden Eagle Farm.

When it comes down to a matter of opinion, like that of the 182-memberNational Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame, not everyone is going to agreewith each decision that is made. But I have to agree with this group’s 2010inductees to its prestigious shrine, especially the California-bred Best Pal who,after being on the ballot every year since 2005, is a worthy choice.

With just one of his six career grade I wins achieved outside of his home state,many seem to think he is not deserving of this immortality, but the bay geldingwas California’s proverbial “People’s Horse” with $5,668,245 in earnings from 47starts, all but one in black-type company, that yielded 18 wins, 11 seconds andfour thirds from the ages of two to eight.

Bred and owned by the Golden Eagle Farm of the late John and Betty Mabee,Best Pal provides the cover story for this July 2010 issue of California Thorough-bred, along with the third in our four-part series of editorials featuring the Californiafoals of 2010, this month highlighting the Golden State’s Central Coast.

Besides an In Memoriam tribute to Snow Chief, the Eclipse Award-winningCal-bred who died at the age of 27 on May 15 just hours before this year’s renewalof the grade I Preakness Stakes which he won in 1986, we have reviews of thepast month’s graded stakes victories at Hollywood Park by the Cal-bred trio ofAcclamation, Evening Jewel and Cost of Freedom.

Our latest Racing in Southern California editorial features the May stakeswins by the Cal-bred duo of Unzip Me and U R All That I Am, while the CTBAMember Profile is on Mike Pegram, the breeder of four California championsand the owner and/or breeder of such top national performers of the last twodecades as Real Quiet, Midnight Lute, Captain Steve, Silverbulletday, and thisyear’s Preakness winner Lookin At Lucky.

This magazine also spotlights Villa Chardonnay: Horse With Wings, a horserescue, retirement and adoption farm in Temecula, while other features includean analysis of the all-time highest-priced Cal-breds sold at public auction and anarticle on “Mossy” Mosbacher, whose career in horse racing has spanned nearly80 years with his most recent stint being as a clocker at the San Luis Rey Downstraining center in Bonsall.

This month’s Down on the Farm piece is titled “What’s New In SuspensionFencing” and we also have for our readers the annual California-Bred Incentive

Awards section that featuresan explanation of this lucra-tive program and completedetails of all the BreedersAwards and Stallion Awardsallocations for 2009, while thebalance of this issue includesall our other regular columns,features and departments thatwe hope will also prove to beboth enjoyable and helpful.

Until next time, may youbreed the best to the best andnot just have to hope for thebest!

NEWS FLASH:Wygods To

Disperse CaliforniaHoldings

Martin and Pam Wygod, California’s leading breeders from 2006 through 2008, announced plans onJune 16 to sell their California holdings and relocate theirbreeding operation to Kentucky.

The couple’s 250-acre River Edge Farm in Buellton will be closed and sold, and the farm’s four stallions—

Bertrando, Benchmark, Tribal Rule and Dixie Chatter—will be relocated.

A dispersal of approximately 100 broodmares, yearlingsand weanlings who are currently owned by the Wygods willbe conducted in conjunction with the Barretts EquineLimited/CTBA California Cup Yearling Sale in October.

Zenyatta Stretches Unbeaten Record To 17 Races

On June 5, the California-bredmare Golden Ballet left her perma-nent mark on an American classicwhen her three-year-old DistortedHumor colt, Drosselmeyer, won the$1 million Belmont Stakes (grade I) at Belmont Park.

Bred by Jerry Dutton and Vladimir Popovich and siredby Moscow Ballet, Golden Ballet won six starts, including

Santa Anita Park’s Santa Anita Oaks(grade I) and Las Virgenes Stakes(grade I) in 2001, en route to earninga year-end title as the CaliforniaChampion Three-Year-Old Female.Retired with a career bankroll of$732,145, she set a record as the

highest-priced Cal-bred broodmare prospect in historywhen she sold for $1.6 million at the 2001 KeenelandNovember Breeding Stock Sale.

On June 13, California Thoroughbred BreedersAssociation members Jerry and Ann Moss were on handat Hollywood Park to witness the 17th consecutive winby their undefeated mare, Zenyatta, who captured thetrack’s $234,000 Vanity Handicap (grade I) for the thirdstraight year.

The six-year-old daughter of Street Cry (Ire), win-ner of the 2009 Breeders’ Cup Classic (grade I), ranksas the highest-earning female Thoroughbred in NorthAmerican racing history with a career bankroll of$6,074,580. The 17-race win streak by the Eclipse

Champion Older Female of 2008 and 2009 is a modernrecord for consecutive victories in non-restrictedraces, and allowed Zenyatta to pass former record-holders Cigar, Citation, Hallowed Dreams and MisterFrisky, each of whom had won 16 races in a row.

What Are The Odds?

What are the odds of four geldings, three of themCalifornia-breds, appearing together at Golden GateFields in three consecutive allowance races, withinthe period of less than eight weeks, with the Cal-bred trio each winning one of the races?

Well, if your Las Vegas bookkeeper had affordedyou such a lucrative bet, then you would have beencashing in a huge payout on May 13.

That’s when Tribesman, Jiggly, Florida-bred Paul’s Hope andLive Sundays finished in that order after posting other first-fourfinishes at the Northern California track during the months ofMarch and April.

On March 21, the quartet were also separated by less than a

length when Live Sundays defeated Paul’s Hope,Tribesman and Jiggly, respectively, while Jigglywas the respective winner from Tribesman, Paul’sHope and Live Sundays when five lengths covered them all on April 16.

Both Tribesman and Jiggly are homebreds, theformer a multiple stakes winner for Kjell Qvaleand the latter a five-time winner for Pete and

Evelyn Parrella’s Legacy Ranch, while stakes-placed LiveSundays was bred by Harris Farms and is owned by Stan and FranHodge (Hajji Farms) who purchased him for $5,000 at the 2007CTBA (California Thoroughbred Breeders Association) Sales’Northern California Yearling Sale.

Just hours before Lookin’ at Lucky won this year’s grade I,$1 million Preakness Stakes, 1986 Preakness hero and multi-millionaire Snow Chief, the only living California-bred TripleCrown race winner, died on May 15 of an apparent heartattack at Diane Rochelle’s Eagle Oak Ranch in Paso Robles.

Longtime California Thoroughbred Breeders Association(CTBA) members Ben Rochelle and Carl Grinstead ownedthe dark bay who was bred in the name of Grinstead’s BlueDiamond Ranch. The son of Reflected Glory debutedunder the care of trainer Melvin Stute at Hollywood Parkon June 19, 1985, and won by 2 1/2 lengths. Hewould then start in 23 consecutive stakesraces before his retirement. As a juvenile,Snow Chief won two grade I events, the$200,000 Norfolk Stakes and the $1million Hollywood Futurity. He wasnamed California’s Horse of theYear and Champion Two-Year-Old Male.

Snow Chief kicked off hisphenomenal 1986 campaign bywinning the $100,000 Califor-nia Breeders’ Stakes by fourlengths. He made his first andonly trip to Northern Califor-nia a winning one, takinghome the grade III, $250,000El Camino Real Derby. Hethen accomplished somethingthat is unheard of in recent his-tory; Snow Chief traveled to theSunshine State to win the grade I,$500,000 Florida Derby beforecrossing the country back to Cali-fornia to win the grade I, $400,000Santa Anita Derby by six lengths.

Snow Chief entered the KentuckyDerby as the 2-1 favorite, riding a five-racewin streak. However, under regular jockey AlexSolis, Snow Chief faltered, finishing an inexplicable11th, beaten more than 19 lengths by the victorious Fer-dinand. A disillusioned Stute considered taking his coltback to California, but was convinced to run in the Preak-ness by legendary trainer Charles Whittingham.

In the Preakness, Snow Chief dazzled, winning the$350,000 event by four lengths over Ferdinand. He becamethe fourth Cal-bred to take the second jewel of the TripleCrown, joining Old England in 1902, Kalitan in 1917 andCandy Spots in 1963.

Instead of heading to New York to contest the Belmont

Stakes, Stute ran Snow Chief back a mere nine days laterin the grade I, $1 million Jersey Derby at Garden StatePark. Although Snow Chief should have been tired fromthe incessant traveling and the intense race schedule, hewon again, bounding home to score by two lengths.

The demanding season finally caught up with SnowChief next out, in his eighth start in seven months, whenthe Cal-bred filly Melair soundly defeated him in the SilverScreen Stakes (grade II) at Hollywood Park. SnowChief missed the next five months, but was not only

named California’s Horse of the Year andChampion Three-Year-Old Male, but also

earned the Eclipse Award for his sopho-more division.

In late December, Snow Chiefreturned to the races in Santa

Anita’s grade I, $100,000 MalibuStakes. He finished second,falling short to Ferdinand, butthen rebounded to defeat hisrival by a nose in a stirring ren-dition of the grade I, $500,000Strub Stakes. After finishingfifth in the grade I, $1 millionSanta Anita Handicap, Stutetook Snow Chief on anothertour of the country. He fin-ished third in Florida’s grade I,$250,000 Gulfstream ParkHandicap, then set a new track

record while winning the grade II,$250,000 Oaklawn Park Handi-

cap three weeks later.Snow Chief was injured while fin-

ishing third in the grade I, $300,000Californian back at Hollywood Park.

Although he was retired after that effort,Snow Chief had still managed one last hurrah;

Ferdinand ran 2 3/4 lengths behind him infourth. Snow Chief was once again named California’s

Horse of the Year, while also being voted the ChampionOlder Male.

With earnings of $3,383,210, Snow Chief’s record stoodat 13 wins, three seconds and five thirds in 24 starts. Heentered stud at Mira Loma Thoroughbred Farm, thenmoved to Eagle Oak until his death. He sired 21 stakeshorses and is the broodmare sire of millionaire Cal-bredGrey Memo. Despite the passage of time and the increasein purses, Snow Chief is still the fourth all-time leadingCal-bred money winner.

The California Thoroughbred Breeders Association (CTBA) participated in the Western States Horse Expo at Cal Expo inSacramento from June 11-13. Daily Thoroughbred demonstrationsshowcased the versatile talents of ex-racehorses and showed the attendees of the event the athleticism that this breed possesses.

Among the retired racehorses who participated in theThoroughbred demo were: “Rose’s Lad,” a four-year-old gelding who is now a talented dressage horse; “Legend,” a 13-year-old gelding who is now an accomplished even-ter and hunter; “Better Than Christmas,” a12-year-old mare who is now a dressagehorse; “Impala Supersport,” an 18-year-oldgelding who is now an eventing horse;“Lucky Benny,” a 14-year-old gelding whois now in Pony Club; “Amy,” a 15-year-oldmare who has been a successful polo ponyfor 10 years; “Parris,” a 20-year-old geldingwho has done polo, barrel racing andgymkhana; and “Barryl’s Real Deal,” anine-year-old gelding who was ridden bySusan Van Rein, a professional horse train-er, competitive barrel racer and member ofthe Sharon Camarillo Performance Horsemanship team that travelsaround the country instructing Better Barrel Racing Clinics.

The most common disciplines for Thoroughbreds are jumping,hunters, dressage and three-day eventing, as well as polo because oftheir willingness to “never give up.” Western riders also useThoroughbreds for barrel racing and working cows on large ranches asthey are able to cover the hills smoothly and efficiently. Thoroughbredsare often used for gymkhana and large city-mounted police forces.They are so versatile that they easily adapt to being cart horses, ropinghorses and trail horses.

CTBA President Leigh Ann Howard, Event Coordinator Christy

Chapman and Marte Miller and Nancy Easton spoke with hundreds ofattendees throughout the event. Marte Miller generously volunteeredher time for all three days of the Expo and Nancy Easton was instrumental in coordinating the Thoroughbred demonstrations alongwith all other details of the Expo while still taking on her responsibilitiesas Cal Expo Event Coordinator. They heard many wonderful stories ofthe rescue and rehabilitation of in-need horses coming off the racetrackand were told of the various “jobs” these horses have taken on in their

“after racing lives,” including teaching childrento ride.

Attendees were educated on the variousvenues for horse racing in California and were encouraged to become members of theCTBA to continue to receive horse racing relat-ed information. Many registration questions concerning off-track Thoroughbreds wereanswered and attendees were also assistedwith finding information on the various organiza-tions whose mission it is to save horses and findloving homes for them. A phenomenally positiveresponse was received, from all attendees withno negative comments about Thoroughbreds

being received, all proof that the mission of the various Thoroughbredorganizations and rescue groups is actually working and being heard bythe public.

The event was very well attended and showcased many differenthorse breeds with demonstrations, clinics and seminars conducted in six arenas, all three days for 10 hours each day. The cliniciansincluded Hilda Gurney, Gina Miles, Jonathan Field, Bob Avila,Stephen Bradley, Rick Lamb and Richard Shrake, along with variousseminars and demonstrations by veterinarians from UC Davis, the USForest Service and the Sacramento County Sheriff’s Search andRescue.—Christy Chapman

The wildly popular California-bred Best Pal will joinCalifornia-based runners Azeri and Point Given as the2010 equine inductees into the National Museum of Rac-ing’s Hall of Fame. Having been on the ballot every yearsince 2005, it was only a matter of time before Best Paljoined the roster of racing’s most elite.

Best Pal was foaled at John and Betty Mabee’s GoldenEagle Farm in Ramona on Feb. 12, 1988. The son of thefarm’s stallion Habitony (Eng) was gelded early in life todamper an aggressive attitude, but it did nothing to temperhis spirit. Under the tutelage of trainer Ian Jory, Best Paldebuted with a win at Hollywood Park on May 18, 1990.

Two months later, the strapping juvenile began using theDel Mar Thoroughbred Club’s meet as his summer play-ground. He cantered through three straight impressivestakes victories, including the grade I, $200,000 Del MarFuturity, before taking down his first grade I event in SantaAnita’s Norfolk Stakes. After a disappointing sixth-placedfinish in the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile at Belmont Park, Jory

sent the colt postward one final time in 1990. Best Pal tookdown the grade I, $1,000,000 Hollywood Futurity by alength over stablemate General Meeting. With that victory,he became the youngest Cal-bred millionaire in history,and added titles as California Horse of the Year and Cham-pion Two-Year-Old Male to his rapidly expanding resumé.

Best Pal prepped for the Kentucky Derby with a thirdplace finish in the San Rafael Stakes (grade II) and a narrowloss in the Santa Anita Derby (grade I). He carried the hopesof his fanatical followers into the “Run for the Roses” and,for a few dramatic strides, he looked as if he would win thecountry’s biggest race. Strike the Gold ran him down on theoutside, with Best Pal finishing a heartbreaking second.

After losing both the Preakness Stakes and the SilverScreen Handicap, it appeared as if the magic of Best Pal waswearing off. Instead, it was just beginning, and Best Palregained form to win the grade II, $150,000 Swaps Stakes by

four lengths. He then defeated older horses in the inauguralPacific Classic, outlasting Twilight Agenda and 1990 Ken-tucky Derby and Breeders’ Cup Classic winner Unbridled tothe wire. Although a fourth-placed finish in Louisiana’s SuperDerby knocked the gelding out of contention for an EclipseAward, the race boosted Best Pal’s earnings to over $2 millionand earned him his second California Horse of the Year title,as well as the honor for Champion Three-Year-Old Male.

Now under the care of trainer Gary Jones, who took overshortly before the Pacific Classic, Best Pal shook off a trio oflate season losses and entered 1992 an even better horse. Inthe span of five months, he nailed down the grade II San Fer-nando Stakes, the Strub Stakes and $1,000,000 Santa AnitaHandicap, both grade I events, and moved past Snow Chiefas the richest Cal-bred of all time in the grade I, $500,000Oaklawn Park Handicap. Unfortunately, Best Pal was injuredin the Pimlico Special and missed the rest of the year, losinghis Eclipse Award as Champion Older Male to Pleasant Tap,but he earned that award in California, as well as his thirdstraight local Horse of the Year trophy.

Best Pal’s connections contended that the bay geldingwas never as good after returning from the injury. That isquite a statement, considering that Best Pal breached the $4million earnings benchmark while winning the grade I,$750,000 Hollywood Gold Cup at age five, followed by the$250,000 California Cup Classic in the fall. At six, in thecare of trainer Richard Mandella, he won the grade IIINative Diver Handicap, and managed to win the grade IISan Antonio Handicap at age seven. After a lone poor startas an eight-year-old, Best Pal was finally retired.

The hometown hero returned to Golden Eagle Farmwith $5,668,245 in earnings and 18 wins, 11 seconds andfour thirds in 47 starts. He won 17 stakes races and iswidely considered to be the best horse to never win anEclipse Award. His record eight California championshipsoutweigh that one glaring omission from his biography.

After appearing bored in retirement, Best Pal wasgiven a job as a track pony at Golden Eagle in Ramona.Unfortunately, while at work, he died suddenly of anapparent heart attack in November of 1998.

With his induction on Aug. 13, Best Pal will become theseventh Cal-bred to join the Hall of Fame, along withAncient Title, Café Prince, Emperor of Norfolk, NativeDiver, Swaps, and Tiznow who was honored in 2009.

Buster Millerick In The Hall Of FameThe National Museum of Racing’s Hall of Fame will

induct Michael Ernest “Buster” Millerick this summer,after the Historic Review Committee process elected tohonor the California horseman’s accomplishments. Thecommittee was formed to consider candidates who havebeen inactive for at least 25 years.

Millerick was born in Petaluma in 1905. After a briefcareer as a jockey and a rodeo stock handler in the 1920s,Millerick learned the Thoroughbred training game fromHall of Famer Tom Smith, who conditioned the immortalSeabiscuit. Millerick galloped Seabiscuit on occasionbefore switching to training full time.

Millerick became a fixture on the Southern Californiacircuit for nearly 50 years, winning training titles at the DelMar Thoroughbred Club, Hollywood Park and Santa AnitaPark. His 54 individual stakes winners included CountessFleet, winner of the 1955 Milady and Vanity Handicaps, andthe 1969DelMar FuturitywinnerGeorge Lewis, a California-bred son of Envoy. He also trained Fleet Nasrullah, whodeveloped into one of the state’s leading sires, and Cal-bredKissin’ George, a dazzling sprinter who scored 13 stakesvictories in the 1960s.

Millerick’s greatest success came with Native Diver($1,026,500), a wildly popular, nearly black Cal-bred son ofImbros. Native Diver possessed blinding speed, but Miller-ick was able to coax that brilliance to hold over a route ofground: Native Diver won three straight Hollywood GoldCups at 1 1/4 miles from 1965 through 1967. He won 37 of81 starts, including 34 stakes races, while racing through

seven seasons. The mighty racehorse died just days afterwinning the 1967 Del Mar Handicap under 130 pounds asan eight-year-old. He is buried at Hollywood Park, and wasinducted into the national Hall of Fame in 1978.

Mr. Prime Minister became Millerick’s final stakes win-ner, taking the grade III Los Angeles Handicap in 1983.Millerick retired in 1984, having won 1,886 races in hiscareer. He died in Arcadia on Sept. 30, 1986.

E. W. “Bud” Johnston, the owner of Old English Ranchoin Sanger along with his wife, Judy, knew right away thatAcclamation was “the one.” The youngster by the farm’spremier stallion Unusual Heat stood saddled in theshedrow and caught Johnston’s eye.

“It was when he first came up from the pasture to be bro-ken,” Johnston recalls. “I turned to my wife and said, ‘This isthe horse I’ve been looking for mywhole life – this is the one.’”

As Johnston predicted, Acclamation has developed intothe farm’s first recognized grade I-winning homebred bytaking the $250,000 Charles Whittingham MemorialHandicap at Hollywood Park on June 5. Old English Ran-cho has a history of producing top stakes horses, but has notscored at the highest level since the grading of races beganin 1973.

It has taken a while for Acclamation’s talent to bloom.The four-year-old colt had managed only two wins in 17 startsprior to May 15 of this year, always running well but missingthe winner’s circle. Stretched out to 1 1/2 miles for the firsttime in the grade II, $150,000 Jim Murray Handicap, Accla-mation responded with a dazzling runaway performance,winning by 7 1/2 lengths under jockey Christian SantiagoReyes. The rivals in that race allowed Acclamation tocruise along on an uncontested lead of up to 10 lengths,and were unable to catch him in the stretch. They couldn’tpossibly allow him to get away with those tactics again,could they?

They could, and did. In the Whittingham, Acclama-tion’s nine rivals dropped back and merely watched again asReyes eased the front-runner to as much as a 3 1/2-lengthadvantage on the backstretch. The pair waltzed throughfractions of :24.58, :49 flat and 1:12.57 and, when it came

time for the closers to run on, Acclamation had enough tohold them off. He dug in gamely into the stretch anddeterminedly kept his rivals at bay. He lunged under thewire 1 1/2 lengths in front of Hyades as the 8-5 race favoriteLoup Breton (Ire) closed to be fourth. The final time forthe 1 1/4-mile distance was 1:59.45 on a firm turf course.

Donald Warren, 58, conditions Acclamation, whobecame the first Cal-bred to win the Whittingham sinceLava Man stormed home in 2006. Acclamation now hasfour wins, two seconds and six thirds in 19 starts for earn-ings of $497,048.

Old English Rancho had even more of a stake in theWhittingham, as three of the 10 runners were sired byUnusual Heat. Besides Acclamation, Brushburn finishedthird and Unusual Suspect ran sixth. Brushburn was mak-ing his graded stakes debut coming off a stylish win in anallowance optional claiming event, and Unusual Suspecthad finished fifth behind Acclamation in the Jim Murray.Unusual Heat, a 20-year-old son of Nureyev and Califor-nia’s leading sire of 2008 and 2009, stands for a private fee.

Acclamation’s dam is the unraced Silveyville mare Win-ning in Style. Five of her seven foals to race are all winners,including the stakes-placed fillies Strut Your Stuff andAlways in Style. Acclamation is her only stakes winner.

Johnston is enjoying the ride with his chosen star. “He'sa beautiful colt with a big heart,” and the former Presidentof the California Thoroughbred Breeders Association(CTBA). “We are all so proud of him, and are looking for-ward to more graded stakes wins.” That chance could comein Hollywood Park’s closing day feature, the $100,000Sunset Handicap (grade III) on July 18, which is the nextscheduled spot on Acclamation’s agenda.

Evening Jewel:A Shining Example

Grade II Honeymoon HandicapHollywood Park—Monday, May 31, 2010

“The aim at Golden Eagle Farm has always been to breedquality horses,” said Larry Mabee, the only son of the lateJohn and Betty Mabee, California’s leading breeders from1988 through 2005, after Evening Jewel, whom he bred inpartnership with his mom, won the grade II, $150,000 Hon-eymoon Handicap at Hollywood Park on May 31.

“And Evening Jewel is a great example of this,” Larryconcluded of the three-year-old daughter of NorthernAfleet whose other career graded stakes score had come inthe grade I, $400,000 Central Bank Ashland Stakes atKeeneland Race Course in Lexington, Kentucky, on April 3.Sandwiched between these two starts was another stellarstart effort from this bay filly, namely a runner-up finish—by a heartbreaking nose—to multiple grade I winner BlindLuck in the grade I, $584,300 Kentucky Oaks at ChurchillDowns in Louisville on April 30.

Foaled at the Mabee family’s famed Thoroughbred nurseryin Ramona on Feb. 26, 2007, Evening Jewel was sold for amere $8,000 at the 2008 Keeneland September YearlingSale, before being purchased privately for $132,500 by hercurrent owners after being withdrawn from the OBS (OcalaBreeders’ Sales Company) Spring Sale of Two-Year-Olds inTraining held in Florida the following April.

“We really like her owners,” said Larry of Tom and Mari-lyn Braly who are enjoying the thrill ride of their lives withEvening Jewel. Larry added, “We’re always happy when ourhorses can bring a lot of excitement and success to thoseowners who buy them.” That success now includes four winsand five seconds in 10 starts and a bankroll of $606,943 to date.

A winner in her third trip to post, at Santa Anita Parkon Nov. 8, Evening Jewel then parlayed a second-placedfinish at Hollywood Park to subsequent grade II winnerCaracortado, a fellow Cal-bred, into a victory in the

$100,000 California Breeders’ Champion Stakes at SantaAnita on Dec. 27. Her next two starts at the Arcadia trackproduced runner-up finishes in the grade III, $100,000Santa Ysabel and grade I, $250,000 Las Virgenes Stakes,the latter—again by a nose—to Blind Luck.

In Inglewood on Memorial Day, Evening Jewel wentgate-to-wire, as she had done in the Ashland, to post a headvictory over Cozi Rosie in 1:48.87 for the 1 1/8-mile trip asthe 4-5 favorite on her turf debut. With Victor Espinoza inthe irons, she became the 15th Cal-bred to win this presti-gious event in 59 runnings, an honor role that includes thelast locally produced victor in 1994, 12-time stakes winnerWork the Crowd, as well as Bushel-n-Peck who triumphed in1961, and whose son Wild Again won the inaugural editionof the grade I, $3 million Breeders’ Cup Classic at HollywoodPark in 1984.

The Mabee family bred both Evening Jewel’s second damJeweled Lady, out of Excellent Lady who was the 1999/2000California Broodmare of the Year, and her first dam Jewel ofthe Night, an eight-year-old daughter of Giant’s Causewaywhom Lee and Susan Searing purchased for $67,000 at theBarretts October Mixed Sale in 2007. Evening Jewel is thefirst of four foals to date out of this half-sister to SauceyEvening, voted the 2008 California Champion Two-Year-Old Filly. Larry concluded, “Even though our local breedingindustry is facing some challenges right now, I am positiveabout the future as we have so many other good qualitymares in our breeding shed.”

But the final words should probably go to Evening Jewel’strainer Jim Cassidy who paid the ultimate compliment tothis shining example of the Mabee family’s breeding programwhen he said, “I think that I’ll swim her next, that’s the onlything she hasn’t done yet. She’s just a wonderful filly.”

Cost of Freedom:Taking Another Bow

Grade III Los Angeles HandicapHollywood Park—Saturday, June 5, 2010

California-bred Cost of Freedom served notice that he’sreturned to full strength after a win in the grade III, $100,000Los Angeles Handicap at Hollywood Park on June 5.

He rose from the claiming ranks to become a grade I win-ner, but then had to grapple with recurring soundness issuesand losing comebacks before his return to stakes glory.

“He’s back to his old self, huh?,” winning jockey TylerBaze said. “He’s just incredible. He’s one hundred percentright now and if they can just keep him like this for the restof the year, it’s on to the Breeders’ Cup again.”

Baze sent Cost of Freedom to his customary leadingposition shortly after the gates opened. Grade I-winningCal-bred M One Rifle, the second choice in the field ofseven, stayed on his hip in second. The expected showdownbetween the two speedsters never materialized as M OneRifle faded entering the stretch and E Z’s Gentleman tookup his position chasing the even-money favorite.

Cost of Freedom widened the gap at the top of thestretch and held sway to the finish line to win by threequarters of a length. He carried 122 pounds over six fur-longs in 1:08.49, less than a second off the track record.

E Z’s Gentleman finished second and longshot Cal-bredMy Summer Slew raced in third throughout. M One Rifle,Hiya Silver, Jiggly and Bet On Victor completed the orderof finish.

Cost of Freedom is owned by Gary and Cecil Barber andtrained by John Sadler, who posted a record fifth win in theLos Angeles. Bred by Harris Farms, the seven-year-old darkbay or brown gelding is by their stallion Cee’s Tizzy out ofFreedom Dance, by Moscow Ballet.

Sold for $20,000 at the 1996 California ThoroughbredSales (CTS) Del Mar Select & Preferred Yearling Sale, HarrisFarms claimed back Freedom Dance for $16,000 when shewon her final career start in February of 2000.

“As I recall, Freedom Dance was bred to Cee’s Tizzy notfor pedigree reasons so much as the fact he was the best stal-lion we had standing at the time, and she was from such agood female family,” farm veterinarian Dr. Jeanne Bowers-Lepore explained.

Freedom Dance is a half-sister to dual stakes winner Topof Our Game and stakes winner Truly Needy. She wonnine times and earned $136,922 in 17 starts. As a brood-mare, she’s produced four winners, including Cost of Free-dom and the $148,680-earner Never Ever.

Freedom Dance has a two-year-old Kitten’s Joy coltnamed Turn On the Pumps in training and is currently infoal to California’s leading sire Unusual Heat.

Cost of Freedom began his career in claiming andallowance races, with a runner-up finish in the 2008 editionof the $150,000 Tiznow Stakes along the way. In July of 2008,Cost of Freedom was claimed for $50,000 by Sadler who alsoclaimed Never Ever for $40,000 in October of 2005.

“John Sadler and I have been friends for years, back towhen he worked for Eddie Gregson,” said John Harris. “Inever feel bad about losing a horse, and am delighted whenthey go on and do well.”

Cost of Freedom proceeded to win an allowance raceand then the grade I, $250,000 Ancient Title Stakes inSeptember of 2008. Multiple failed vet exams followed,resulting in scratches from two stakes races. He made acomeback last September that culminated with a third-placed run in the Sentient Jet Breeders’ Cup Sprint (grade I).After another six-month sabbatical, he returned with asharp allowance optional claiming win at Hollywood Park.

Cost of Freedom has now won eight of 15 starts andearned $666,105 since his debut in August of 2006. GaryBarber said his next race may be the Del Mar Thorough-bred Club’s grade I Bing Crosby Stakes on Aug. 1.

Another Victory DashUnzip Me made it five wins in a row with a front-running

victory in the $74,230 Great LadyM. Stakes during the Ingle-wood track’s Friday night program on May 21. The daughterof City Zip sprinted to a clear lead early, tugging aggressivelyin the first eighth of a mile before settling down threelengths in front. Minute Limit (Ire) rallied in the stretch butcouldn’t get within 1 1/4 lengths of Unzip Me and jockey JoeTalamo, who completed the grassy six-furlong dash in1:09.04. Porto Marmay (Ire) finished in third place, only aneck behind Minute Limit, while Cal-bred Dotsy Jean wasanother head back in fourth, beaten less than two lengths forthe win.

It was the third consecutive stakes win for the MartinJones-trained Unzip Me, who was the 4-5 favorite in a fieldof seven coming off a score in the grade III, $100,000 LasCienegas Handicap at Santa Anita Park on April 11. Shenow has a record of seven wins, two seconds and a third from12 starts, and has earned $327,430 for owners Harris FarmsInc, Jones, Donald Valpredo and Per Antonsen.

Valpredo and HarrisFarms bred Unzip Me,who is out of the winningArazi mare Escape WithMe. She is her dam’s firstfoal to race, but isn’t theonly one, as Stealth Rocket,

Escape With Me’s three-year-old son of Redattore (Brz),made three starts at Golden Gate Park this winter. EscapeWith Me foaled an Aragorn (Ire) colt earlier this year.

A Double CelebrationLess than 48 hours after Unzip Me’s win, U R All That I

Am took on a field of four state-bred rivals in the $62,400Fran’s Valentine Stakes going a mile on the turf. UnderRafael Bejarano, her fourth pilot in five starts, U R AllThat I Am stalked outside of a fair pace set by WomanWarrior. She looked keen to make a move well beforeBejarano cued her to take the lead in midstretch, and shedrew clear to a widening 2 1/4-length victory, stopping theclock in 1:34.63.

URAll That IAm improved her record to eight wins, threeseconds and a third in 15 starts, with earnings of $307,628. TheFran’s Valentine was notonly her second stakes winof the meet, after takingthe $147,000 B. Thought-ful Stakes on April 24, butwas also her first triumphon the grass.

Businessman and racehorse owner Mike Pegram isrenowned for his success in the Triple Crown and at theBreeders’ Cup. In the past 12 years, he has campaigned suchstars as Kentucky Derby and Preakness Stakes winner RealQuiet and two-time Breeders’ Cup Sprint winner Mid-night Lute, as well as Dubai World Cup winner CaptainSteve, Hall of Fame inductee Silverbulletday and recentPreakness Stakes hero Lookin At Lucky. But before he wasmaking national headlines, Pegram was racking up stakeswins with California-breds, the bread-and-butter of hissuccessful Southern California racing operation.

Pegram was born on Feb. 16, 1952, in Fort Knox, Ken-tucky, but grew up in Princeton, Indiana. His first forays tothe racetrack were at nearby Ellis Park in the BluegrassState. It is remarkable to think that the quaint Kentuckytrack would be the springboard for Pegram’s future exploits!

Pegram owned his first Thoroughbreds with his father,Jim, who also helped him start up his first McDonalds fran-chises in Seattle, Washington. In 1985, the Arizona-based

car dealer Hal Earnhardt introduced Pegram to trainer BobBaffert. Earnhardt’s future success with the silver-hairedhorseman would include a victory by Cal-bred Indian Charliein the 1998 Santa Anita Derby (grade I). When PegrammetBaffert, both a friendship and a business partnership wereborn that included Pegram’s first Quarter Horse purchase

With Pegram’s urging, Baffert made the switch fromQuarter Horses to Thoroughbreds. He saddled Broadway’sTop Gun, owned in partnership by Pegram and Bob Roth,to defeat future Hall of Famer and Cal-bred superstar BestPal in the Ladbroke Futurity. Pegram and Roth used thoseearnings to purchase a Cal-bred son of Flying Paster out ofthe 1990 Barretts May Sale of Two-Year-Olds in Trainingfor $80,000. The lanky gray was named Letthebighossroll.

“We had high hopes for him early,” Pegram said of Let-thebighossroll. “He was a true fighter, running until he wasnine, and he was my first really good horse.”

Letthebighossroll banked $1,014,377 while winning 18of 60 starts, including 10 stakes races. After rocketing

through five stakes as a sophomore, including the $125,000C.H.B.P.A. California Cup Sprint Handicap, Letthe-bighossroll appeared to cool off, not winning another stakesuntil he was six, when he took the George Warwick Hand-icap at Bay Meadows Racecourse. At age eight, he won hisfirst graded stake, winning the $189,000 Triple BendBreeders’ Cup Handicap (grade III) by a hard-foughtthree quarters of a length over Score Quick, a horse halfhis age. Letthebighossroll retired in 1997, with two Cali-fornia championships to his name.

That first success with a Cal-bred was hardly Pegram’s last.A California Thoroughbred Breeders’ Association (CTBA)member since 1995, he campaigned Argolid, a half-brotherto top California sire Flying Paster, to win the $111,600 OnTrust Handicap. The son of Saros (GB) also finished secondin the California Breeders’ Champion Stakes and third in theLouisiana Derby (grade III) en route to earning $504,441.

Pegram found success with the sire In Excess (Ire),whom he originally owned in partnership with Vessels Stal-lion Farm. He campaigned many of the stallion’s offspringto stakes victories, including Fun In Excess, who won the$125,000 Cal Cup Matron and two other stakes races. Thelovely bay filly Censored won the $100,000 Melair Stakes,followed by a couple of stakes as a four-year-old the follow-ing year. Pegram’s wickedly fast homebred Gibson Countywon the $150,000 California Breeders’ Champion Stakesand made $376,465 lifetime. Pegram originally wanted tomake the quick colt a cutting horse upon retirement, butwas convinced to try him at stud. Gibson County becamean accomplished young sire, producing two stakes winnersbefore his untimely death in Florida during 2008.

Pegram’s filly Inexcessive Speed won the $100,000CaliforniaSires Stakes five years before her full brother Icecoldbeeratredsburst onto the scene. In the summer of 2002, Icecoldbeera-treds won the $125,000 Graduation Stakes prior to scoring inthe $250,000 Del Mar Futurity (grade II). He suffered a fatalinjury while training in early 2003, meeting a similar unfor-tuante fate as Pegram’s Inexcessivelygood, a 1997 Triple

Crown candidate whose death in the Jim Beam Stakesdashed the owner’s early Kentucky Derby dreams.

Pegram’s luck with In Excess carried into the breedingshed. Icantgoforthat won the 2003 Monrovia Handicap(grade III) for owners Andy Broberg and Palmer Knapp, whileControlled earned the title of California Champion Two-Year-Old Female in 1998, by winning the $111,500 GenerousPortion, $100,000 California Sires and $150,000 CaliforniaBreeders’ Champion Stakes for owner Edward Hand. Pegrambred and sold both fillies; Controlled is a full sister to Icecold-beeratreds and Inexcessive Speed. She has since gone on toproduce the $1,153,595-earner Bear Now, a grade I-placedmultiple graded stakes winner.

“Good horses come from everywhere,” Pegramexplained. “We've never been the kind to buy a pedigree,we buy athletes.” He references the Cal-bred program asparticularly useful weapon in the breeding and racing ofThoroughbreds. “The Cal-bred stake program gives you alonger time to develop a horse to become a top horse inopen company,” he said. “For example, Letthebighossrollshowed a Cal-bred could compete in open company andachieved great things. Because of the Cal-bred stakes pro-gram, he was given the chance to develop into a good horsein open company later in life.”

It is in California that Pegram intends to stay. Now with26 McDonalds franchises and two casinos in the west, aswell as a home in Del Mar, Pegram is trying desperately tohelp keep the state’s racing industry alive and is an advo-cate of devising a plan—such as the expansion of LosAlamitos—to help the ailing sport. “There is no state thathas better weather, and there's not a better racetrack in theworld than Santa Anita (Park). There isn't a racetrack youcan have more fun at than Del Mar, and there's no reasonwhy we shouldn't continue to have the best racing in theworld.”

With a handful of juveniles preparing to be unveiled at theDel Mar Thoroughbred Club this summer, Pegram will con-tinue to etch his legacy in Southern California racing lore.

The wind of heaven is that which blows between a horse’sears. —Arabian Proverb

Heaven is a fitting place for such a creature. Its genesiscan only come from a place of such perfection and beauty.In my recent travels, I have come to believe that horses aretruly a gift from heaven. An inheritance for us to partakeand preserve. I have had the good fortune of meeting manywonderful people within the industry. From those who lovethe sport of Thoroughbred horse racing, to those who havetaken a solumn vow to love, pre-serve and protect the interests ofthe sports greatest asset. The horse.

Villa Chardonnay in beautifulTemecula, California, is no excep-tion. Founded by Monika Kerberand Louise Gardner, VillaChardonnay is nestled within thepicturesque landscape of Temec-ula’s Wine Country. Hence its everappropriate name. Upon my arrivalto Villa Chardonnay, I was wel-comed by beautiful iron gates. Thegates served as a prelude to whatproved to be a wonderful, sunlitafternoon. An afternoon of wonder-ful company and companionship.Both of the human, canine andequine variety. As much as thehorses themselves, were their amaz-ing stories. From Melajim andChardonnay (their first rescues),to the beautiful Meyuchad. Their stories serve as appropri-ate examples of the special bond between human andhorse. While there are those who are blind to a horse’snature, there are those—such as Monika and Louise—whosee the horse beyond the monetary boundaries. A boundarylimited by one’s greed and personal gain. The boundaries ofVilla Chardonnay are different. One can argue that theirboundaries are in fact endless. They expand beyond thelimitations of monetary gain, and are imbued with a senseof humanity, dignity and companionship. It is a beautiful,healthy environment for anyone willing to enter into itsgates. In summary, it is a place where human hands giveback and, in return, receive an abundance of equine loveand affection.

Melajim is an example of the limited boundaries of per-sonal gain. Melajim was a Thoroughbred who, despitewinning his last race as a three-year-old, simply became aliability. Compared to other horses, he simply did not burn as

brightly. For his body was no longer able to do what it wasasked. However, the winds of heaven brought Monika in asan intervention. With her love and regard, Melajim’s dis-eased tendons become strong again, and this special horse,once perceived as “useless,” became a successful show andjumping horse. An incredible transformation predicatedupon the presence of one individual and their desire to heal,mend and discover a new purpose. A purpose expanding farbeyond the horizon of indifference. Melajim is a wonderful

example of a horse whose purposeand function was discovered fromthe healing touch of one individual.

It is the model of love andregard that Monika and Louisehave used as the heart and soul ofVilla Chardonnay. It is simply aplace where people and animalscan be in complete harmony. Aplace where the horizons know nolimits. I found it to be a place ofexquisite beauty. Not only in thewell manicured grounds, but inthe devotion and love extended toeach horse. I would encourageanyone with a love of the horse tovisit this wonderful place and lendthemselves to their worthy cause.

Upon my arrival, Monika andLouise kindly greeted me upon myentrance to the sanctuary. Afterexchanging pleasantries about my

journey, they took me to their main stable. Once inside, Iwas introduced to a beautiful collection of horses, each withtheir own story. Each one showing their curiosity as to mypresence. It never ceases to amaze me at the curiosity thateach horse displays upon seeing you for the first time. Thecamera, of course, was the first order of curiosity, along withthe obligatory search for carrots, mints or other preferredfare. The collection of horses was impressive. From a beau-tiful gray arabian, to a venerable 36-year-old named “RC.”RC never faced competition. For he wasn’t bred for Thor-oughbred competition. His purpose and life, however, is noless important. His personal horizon a bright sunrise. Todayhe is living out the rest of his days at Villa Chardonnay withhis best pal “Robbie” stabled right next door. The affectionthat RC and Robbie shared during my visit was amazing.They communicated with one another in a manner that wasboth playful and affectionate. All the while posing for pho-tographs amidst the shadows presented within the stable.

All of which provided a nice respite from the warmingspring sun.

After visiting the horses within their stable, they tookme to meet some of their other inhabitants. One of thesewas the farm’s namesake. A beautiful filly named Chardon-nay. Chardonnay is an elegant four-year-old filly and servesas a beautiful centerpiece to their sanctuary. Chardonnaywas their first rescue in California. Her palomino coloringserved as a beautiful complement to the day. Her naturalcolor serving as a wonderful addition to the landscape.With blue sky and rolling green hills, Chardonnay permit-ted me the pleasure of brushing my fingers through hermane, all the while looking at my camera in curiosity. Oncefinished, she kindly “posed” for some photographs amidstour conversation. In recalling the moments, it seemed thather early curiosity served as a hint that she wanted her pho-tograph taken. With this in mind, I kindly obliged her asshe gently stood and “smiled.” I gently touched her nose acouple of times, and we then kindly traversed to the otherside of the sanctuary to visit some of the other horses.

After a pleasant walk through the sanctuary, we cameupon a paddock of beautiful Arabians. Co-mingling withthe Arabians were some other horses who, much like theirArabian counterparts, stood with ears pricked in a momentof equine curiosity. Walking up to the fence provided amoment of interaction. While all of them were curious,some were a little more reluctant to advance beyond theirown comfort zone. After five minutes or so, a beautiful fillynamed Meyuchad advanced up close to visit us. Horses willlook at you with a kind curiosity. Then a horse such asMeyuchad will look into you. She was the most personable ofthe horses within her paddock, and even began to follow mealong the fence as I perused and took photos. As though shewanted to be the focal point of my visit. As with Chardon-nay, I kindly obliged her. She placed her beautiful headboth above and in-between the fence. As though playingher own brand of peek-a-boo. She provided me withmoments that one would never ever forget. She was a por-trait of Arabian elegance and childlike innocence. The typeof qualities innate to horses, and in full abundance toMeyuchad. Translated, Meyuchad means “special.” In themoments that I spent with her, she made it abundantlyclear why she was named so. This beautiful horse spoke tome through the fence of her paddock. Not with the use ofwords, but in the beautiful and sensible way that only horsescan speak. I miss her and look forward to seeing her again.I will forever remember her looking at me as I walked awayfrom her paddock and back to the center of the sanctuary.A look that would have been expressed in the simple wordsof “come back and see me sometime soon.” Meyuchad mayhave been the focus of my camera’s lense, but she found aspecial place in my heart that very day.

Meyuchad spoke most intimately with me but, in retro-spect, all of the horses of Villa Chardonnay spoke in theirown manner and tone. Some more vibrant, while othersmore muted. Each horse possessing its own color palette of

personality and “attitude.” One must visit a sanctuary suchas Villa Chardonnay. As prefaced earlier, the wind of heaventruly is that which blows through a horses ears. In my threehours or so at Villa Chardonnay, I was able to receive yet asmall introduction into what heaven must be like. It is aplace where human kindness and equine beauty intertwineto create a beautiful landscape of love and mutual regard.One can immediately sense the deep appreciation that eachequine holds for those who simply love and care for them.Those who see them as an indispensable function withinthe lives of humans. A sign that not all is wrong within ourworld. That within the gates of Villa Chardonnay rest thepeaceful waters and a valley of hope and love. All beauti-fully woven together by that very wind. For the wind thatblows between a horse’s ears is the very same wind thatbrings human and equine together in a bond of mutual loveand hope. A wind that blows so gently. A wind that canonly be bequeathed by heaven itself.

The Work. The MissionThe Villa Chardonnay: Horses With Wings sanctuary is

dedicated to the compassionate care of animals, primarilyhorses. They provide love, a home and critical care forabused, neglected, slaughter bound and/or abandoned crea-tures.

Nestled in rollinghills adjacent to thehorse-related commu-nity of SantaTheresita, you willfind one of the oldestand most beautifulhomages to the Thor-oughbred in this state,California Thorough-bred Ranch.

Now in its fourthdecade of operation,the ranch was builtfrom the ground up byJack and Susie Farmer who still own the beautiful facilityand live right on the premises. Once an abandoned alfal-fa field, the ranch is a striking portrayal of early Californiaarchitecture, right down to the adobe and mission-styleconstruction of the barns and office complex.

The main barn contains stalls for 40 horses intraining and the foaling barn comes equipped withclosed circuit television monitors that are linked up tothe farm manager’s office and residence 24 hours a day.Newborns are kept in stalls with their dams for the first36 hours of life and monitored closely. After that, theyare moved outdoors to grassy paddocks and pastures.The region’s temperate climate allows for horses to liveoutdoors year-round, and the ranch’s pastures rangefrom two acres to almost 50 and follow the contours ofthe foothills.

To date, more than 200 stakes winners have beenfoaled and raised on the ranch’s green fields. Others,like last year’s Eclipse champion juvenile colt ValidPoint, were brought to the ranch as yearlings for break-ing and schooling. California Thoroughbred Ranchalso has an excellent reputation as a training center. It

offers five round pens,an indoor ridingarena and a scenicuphill gallop thatwinds its way throughthe facility. There arealso two treadmillsand a swimming pool,where lay-ups canregain their condi-tioning without riskof further injury.The ranch is home

to two of California’sfinest stallions. Super

Dad is the sire of 22 graded stakes winners and countlessother stakes performers. His champion daughter Daddy’sLittle Gal captured last year’s Cal Cup Juvenile Fillies andthis year’s grade I Santa Anita Oaks. Moneymaker wasfoaled at the ranch and now stands at stud here. Thisgraded stakes winner of nearly $400,000 has thrust him-self into the national spotlight when his son Hayburnercaptured this year’s Travers Stakes at Saratoga. Winner ofthe Wood Memorial and second in both the KentuckyDerby and Preakness Stakes, Hayburner now has earningsover $1 million. The Cal-bred is now pointing for theBreeders’ Cup Classic.

Farm manager Bob Trainer has more than 30 yearsof experience in this business and gives your horses thepersonal care and attention they deserve. Assistantmanager and yearling trainer Steve Winner also hasmany years of veterinary experience, although thefarm’s main vet lives just down the road and is on call24 hours a day, especially during the busy foaling sea-son.

The Best-Seller List

When the three-year-old colt Drosselmeyer crossed thewire first in the 142nd running of the $1 million BelmontStakes (grade I) on June 5, it marked a milestone for theCalifornia breeding industry. His dam, Golden Ballet, washerself a notable runner who ranked at the head of her classin two respects earlier in the decade.

The Moscow Ballet mare, who was bred in California byJerry Dutton and Vladimir Popovich, won Santa AnitaPark’s 2001 Santa Anita Oaks (grade I) and Las VirgenesStakes (grade I), and was subsequently rewarded with a titleas California’s Champion Three-Year-Old Female. Thatsame year, she set a record as the highest-priced California-bred broodmare prospect in history when she was purchased for $1.6 million by Aaron and Marie Jones at theKeeneland November Breeding Stock Sale in Kentucky.

Like Golden Ballet, many Thoroughbreds featuringGolden State origins have commanded top dollar in thecommercial marketplace. The results from the 2010 Bel-mont Stakes offer an opportunity to look back at the mostexpensive California-breds ever sold at public auction.

More For MaresTo date, 13 Cal-breds have achieved sale prices of $1

million or more. Among these seven-figure sellers, 12 arefemale, one of whom appears on the list twice.

This year marks the 25th anniversary of the first state-bred to reach this plateau.

On Nov. 12, 1985, the Hollywood Park grade I winnerA Kiss for Luck, then six years old, fetched $1.45 millionfrom Texan George Aubin while carrying a Nureyev foalduring Keeneland’s premier mixed sale. The ReflectedGlory mare, a California champion juvenile runner whowas bred by Rancho Jonata, later earned accolades as thesecond dam of La Brea Stakes (grade I) winner and2004/2005 Valkyr Trophy recipient Alphabet Kisses.

The Keeneland November sale yielded the highest-

priced California-bred of all time on Nov. 7, 2000, whenMagical Allure entered the auction ring as a five-year-oldbroodmare. Consigned by her breeders, John and BettyMabee, and offered with a Storm Cat foal in utero, thegrade I-winning daughter of General Meeting, who hadsecured a California championship crown in 1998, was pur-chased by Shadwell Estate Company Ltd. for $4.2 million.

Magical Allure ranked fifth on the list of top-pricedbroodmares sold in North America during 2000. She hassince produced a sole winner, Kaseh — the colt she was car-rying at the time of her record-breaking sale.

The Mabees hit a second homerun at the 2000 KeenelandNovember sale with their homebred Career Collection,another talented filly from General Meeting’s 1995 crop.While racing for the couple’s Golden Eagle Farm, she capturedtwo grade II events and ran second in the 1997 Breeders’ CupJuvenile Fillies (grade I), culminating her two-year-old seasonwith a state championship title for her age and gender.

Bred to Gone West as a five-year-old, she was sold for$1.9 million to Lisa Troutt of WinStar Farm, the Kentuckyoperation which now campaigns Drosselmeyer. Career Col-lection produced two early winners, and was re-sold atKeeneland in 2004 to the Japanese horseman KatsumiYoshida for $450,000.

Ranking second on the all-time list is the most expensiveCal-bred juvenile purchase and the state’s highest-pricedmale of any age: the David Newcomb-bred Unbridled Slew. Acquired by Darley Stable for a record-shattering $2.5million at California’s 2006 Barretts May Sale of Two-Year-Olds in Training after he worked one furlong in a blistering:9 3/5 at Fairplex Park, the Red Bullet colt was neverentered in a pari-mutuel race.

Selected Two-Year-Olds in Training who was bred by ShieldsThoroughbreds Inc. and who also went to Darley. A full sisterto the stakes-winning, $600,000 auction purchase Race forGlory, the Cape Town filly set a record as her home state’s top-selling juvenile of her gender, but was euthanized after shesustained a training injury at Hollywood Park while preparingfor her first start.

Realizing a much happier fate was the state championdistaffer Gourmet Girl, whose $2.25-million pricetag from the2002 Keeneland November sale is the third-highest among allCal-breds and second-best among broodmares. The 2001Eclipse Champion Older Female, a multiple grade I-winningmillionaire by Cee’s Tizzy, was bred by Carl and Olivia Can-nata and is currently represented by the dual stakes-placedwinner Luxury Class.

Occupying two positions on the list of top-selling California-breds is the regally bred winner Servaline, anotherproduct of the Mabees’ Golden Eagle Farm, which dominated thestate’s leading breeders list from 1988 through 2005. The 2000Storm Cat half-sister to four-time grade I winner Excellent Meeting sold to Brushwood Stable for $2 million atthe 2001 Keeneland July Select Yearling Sale, then elicited a$1.275-million bid from Courtlandt Farm as a KeenelandNovember broodmare five years later. Servaline’s only starter todate, the Gone West filly Westline, is a winner.

The state’s highest-priced yearling colt is Shamgaan, byNureyev. Also bred by the Mabees, he commanded $600,000 atthe 1991 California Thoroughbred Sales (CTS) Del Mar Year-ling Sale, but ultimately failed to win in seven starts overseas.

Recent grade I winners River’s Prayer and Romance Is Dianeare each noteworthy for eliciting seven-figure bids as KeenelandNovember racing or broodmare prospects. The former, a 2003daughter of Devon Lane who was bred by Vessels Stallion FarmLLC, sold for $1.5 million in 2007. The latter, a 2004 daughterof In Excess (Ire) and dual California champion who was bredby Swan Equine Service Co., sold for $1.35 million in 2008.

Two decades ago, the grade I-winning California championKool Arrival made headlines as a $1.25-million purchase during the 1989 CTS Fall Mixed Sale at the Del Mar

Thoroughbred Club. The Relaunch mare, who was foaled in1986, went on to produce the 1995 El Encino Stakes (grade II)winner Klassy Kim and the 61-time starter Koolinger (Jpn), a multiple stakes winner and $4.2 million-earner in his native Japan.

Three additional Cal-bred females are members of theseven-figure sales club, with purchase prices of $1 millioneach: Shywing, Moscow Burning and Leave Me Alone.

The five-time stakes winner and grade I runner-up Shywing ran seventh for her new connections in the 1986Breeders’ Cup Distaff (grade I), just one day after she sold as afour-year-old during a Hollywood Park auction which featuredhorses of racing age.

Grade II winner and 2004 California Horse of the YearMoscow Burning, her home state’s leading money-winningdistaffer with career earnings of $1,417,800, began her brood-mare career in Japan after she was purchased as a six-year-old byShadai Farm at the 2006 Keeneland November sale.

California champion Leave Me Alone, the runaway winnerof the 2005 Test Stakes (grade I) for three-year-old fillies atSaratoga Race Course, joined Frank and Jane Lyon’s SummerWind Farm broodmare band after she was offered at the 2007Fasig-Tipton Kentucky Selected Fall Mixed Sale while carry-ing her first foal, by A.P. Indy.

Falling just short of the $1 million benchmark is Tizdubai, a full sister to 2000 Eclipse Horse of the Year Tiznowwho raised the commercial ceiling for California-bred wean-lings when she brought $950,000 at the 2001 KeenelandNovember sale. The Cee’s Tizzy filly won Del Mar’s grade II Sor-rento Stakes for owner Darley Stable in 2003.

The state’s top-priced weanling colt is Daiwa Falcon, a stakes-placed winner in Japan who sold at Keeneland in 1999 for$425,000. By General Meeting, he was bred by the Mabees.

Bringing the review of best-selling Cal-breds full circle—and back to the Belmont Stakes—is the 1985 statechampion Barberstown, a grade II winner by Gummo who ranthird in the 1983 edition of the storied New York race, thensold in a Del Mar dispersal two months later to McDermottRanch in Texas. The $850,000 purchase price for Barber-stown, who eventually found a niche as a regional sire in theSouth, remains a record among three-year-old males who havebeen offered at public auction.

When I walked into the office atSan Luis Rey Downs in Bonsall,there in the waiting room, was aslight, fit-looking elderly gentle-man. I knew he had to be “Mossy.”

That’s what friends call JosephLee Mosbacher. They also call hima horse racing legend.

Until recently, Mossy wasemployed as a clocker at San LuisRey Downs, a training center locatedin Northern San Diego County.Because of recent financial difficul-ties, Mossy volunteered to stepdown.

That doesn’t mean he is retired.He just no longer gets paid.

No need to feel sorry for him,though. He has had a fulfilling careerin horse racing that spans nearly 80years.

That’s not a misprint. Mossy ran away from home at age 13and was soon galloping Thoroughbreds. He is now 92.

Mossy has done it all. Besidesbeing a clocker, he has been an exer-cise rider, a formidable jockey, a toptrainer, a respected jockey’s agent, afriend to the biggest names in bothhorse racing and Hollywood, and isnow a published poet. Not bad foran eighth-grade dropout.

These days, when he isn’t help-ing out around San Luis ReyDowns, he’s playing golf withfriends at the nearby San Luis ReyDowns Golf-Tennis Resort &Country Club course, going onlong walks with his beloved dogSpike, or doing something.

Getting Mossy, a friendly outgo-ing sort, to talk about his life waseasy. And what a life it has been.

Mossy was born in Buffalo, NewYork, on Oct. 19, 1917, and moved with his family to SanDiego when he was nine after his father, who was in theNavy, got assigned there.

“During the Depression, my parents got a divorce andmy mother remarried,” Mossy said. “I wasn’t getting alongwith my stepfather, so I ran away from home and droppedout of school.”

He found work on dairy farms and rodeo grounds and fellin love with horses. It is a love affair that has continued onthrough the whole of his life so far.

First an exercise rider, he was a jockey by the time he was 14.Weighing only 107 pounds, he was the right size, but says he wasonly a mediocre jockey. He mainly rode on the fair circuits.

By 1931, Mossy became a trainer, and a pretty good one.He also continued to gallop horses in the morning. And itwas during this decade that Mossy became somewhat of aHollywood personality.

He worked as a stunt-double jockeyin a number of movies, including theMarx’s brothers’ “Day at the Races,”“Stablemates,” starring Wallace Beeryand Mickey Rooney, and “Saratoga,”starring Jean Harlow and Clark Gable.

Soon Mossy was in with the “in”crowd.

He matter-of-factly rattles off thebiggest names in Hollywood whenasked to list his friends, although hebecomes a little frustrated when a fad-ing memory doesn’t allow him toremember them all.

In 1968, a Mossy-trained horse, ProperProof, won the Derby Trial Stakes and wasone of the favorites in that year’s KentuckyDerby. But Proper Proof finished ninth.Mossy struggled to remember that JohnnySellers was Proper Proof’s jockey.

However, there is nothing wrongwith Mossy’s memory when he startstalking about his beloved wife Ida,whom he married in 1946.

“She was more famous than I was,”Mossy said. “She knew everybody andeverybody knew her.”

In1975, Mossy and Ida moved toDel Mar. Still a trainer, Mossy alsobegan clocking horses during work-outs at San Luis Rey Downs, a job heheld until earlier this year.

As is the case in everyone’s life,Mossy has experienced some downtimes and sadness. On June 10, 2000—a day that will live infamy for Mossy—he lost Ida. She died of cardiac arrestand spending nine days in a hospital.

“I went into a huge depression,”Mossy said.

Two things helped him get out of his

funk. He started writing poems, including tributes to hislate wife, and he found another love—Spike, who is halfChihuahua, half dachshund.

A collection of his poems were recently published in a92-page paperback. For more information, go onlilne to:http://www.lulu.com/content/paperback-book/mossys-poems/8545871.

Mossy and Spike, who have been together for sevenyears, go everywhere together.

Spike and I go on a one-hour walk around the neighbor-hood every day,” he said, “and on Sundays we do a powerwalk. We go as fast as I can walk.”

Even at 92, there seems to be no slowing down JosephLee “Mossy” Mosbacher.

Suspension fences have been used on western farms andranches and in New Zealand and Australia for many years.Advantages to suspension fencing include fewer posts (anadvantage in rocky terrain, and also less labor for installation andmaintenance), more resilience when struck by animals or vehi-cles and, therefore, less damage to the fence from wildlife orhighway accidents. The posts can be set wider apart, with sev-eral lightweight stays between them. Animals running intothese fences are less apt to be injured because there is so muchflex and give; the fence can be pushed several feet withoutdamage to it or the animals, and then rebounds back into place.

Southwest Fence Systems and Southwest Fence and SupplyCompany Inc. in California have been working for severaldecades to improve suspension fencing. Chris Hanneken, itsPresident, says their unique braces and lightweight stays maketheir fencing highly durable, thus minimizing maintenance.The Hanneken family developed their first suspension fenceproducts in the 1970’s, originally as a means to create betterfencing on their own ranches in the South. Today, their sys-tem is used throughout the country, not only on private farmsand ranches but also by county and state municipalities, oil-fields, the Nature Conservancy, USDOT (US Department ofTransportation), EBRPD (East Bay Regional Park District),NRCS (Natural Resource Conservation Service), SFWD(San Francisco Water District), LADWP (Los AngelesDepartment of Water and Power) and many other entities.

Early suspension fences were constructed using woodenstays, which provided good visibility to livestock and wildlifebut were labor intensive and costly to install, partly becauseof their weight. The Hannekens then tried metal twist staysbut those provided poor visibility and were not always easy toinstall. The twist stays were also easily bent by wildlifehitting the fence or going under or over it, leaving the stayspermanently bent—compromising the height or positioningof the wires. Metal stays are almost impossible to removeonce they are bent; it usually takes bolt cutters to removethem when you need to replace them.

More than 20 years ago the Hanneken family developedtheir ©SuperStay in an extruded HDPE (high density poly-ethylene) form, and this enabled the company to provide alifetime guarantee. The latest design is similar, but createdwith an injection mold process, providing a stronger andmore consistent profile. Other improvements to this stayinclude added reinforcement near the attachment lock-pinnotches (there’s a lock pin for easy installation which is alsoeffective for an electric fence) and more visibility. Anotherplus is that this stay is made in the USA from recycledmaterial. The SuperStay is also widely used for rejuvenatingold fences and making quick repairs.

Posts for the suspension fence can be metal or wood, setanywhere from 16 feet apart from center to center to 50 feet(30 feet is the average distance). “This allows the fence togive and flex without compromise. Along a highway, carsoften go through a fence. We have constant problems inhighly populated areas where commuters travel countyroads, with vehicles going through fences,” says Hanneken.It’s important that a rancher use fencing that won’t be torndown completely—or livestock may get out on the highwayand be injured or cause accidents.

Traditional fences usually won’t stay standing enough tohold livestock after a vehicle crashes through them—takingout posts and knocking the fence down. “We’ve found thatcars can hit our suspension style fence and often the fencewill stay up enough to contain the animals until repairs canbe made. Even if they knock out a post and there’s an80-foot section of unsupported fence, the wires generallywill not break, and the fence will still be in place, and willstill hold cattle or horses,” says Hanneken.

Weather can be hard on fences. Heavy snow may weighdown traditional or electric fencing and break its wires, oreven push a fence over. Freezing and thawing can disruptthe stability of traditional posts and braces, as frost heavesthe posts upward. After a few years, the posts and bracesmay not stay in line or may come out of the ground. Con-

What’s New In Suspension Fencing

crete or railroad ties rarely stay in place in an area wherefrost or moisture levels rise and fall during the year.

“The bracing system for our fences was designed to with-stand freezing and thawing. Our braces utilize a diagonalrod similar to the anchor system on modular homes. This iswhere we got the idea. No suspension system can be suc-cessful without a good brace. We needed something simple,that anyone could put in,” says Hanneken.

His family developed a permanent type of driven brace,which is quick and foolproof to install, without having todig post holes. In good ground, it can be put in place with-in 15 minutes and installs one way only—which eliminatesthe chance of placing it incorrectly. The fence can bestretched as soon as the brace is installed.

“The two brace posts are driven into the ground, andthere’s a guide tube on each post that is cut and welded intothat post at a 45-degree angle,” says Henneken. “Afteryou’ve driven the post into the ground to the depth of theguide tube, you put the anchor rod through the post (viathe guide tube), drive it into the ground and bolt it in place.In updating our patent, we have lengthened the brace (toeliminate the uplift effect) and this angled rod gives it evenmore stability,” he says.

The Parker Ranch in Kamuela, Hawaii, installed theSouthwest Fence suspension system 23 years ago, in 1987,and this fence has remained effective with virtually nomaintenance.

The stays in a suspension fence can be any material, butif the stays come clear down to the ground it is not truly asuspension fence. “Our black poly SuperStays are light andonly come down to the bottom wire, so the fence is floatingfree between posts,” says Hanneken. This makes a bettersuspension system because it has a lot more give if an ani-mal or car hits it.

The stays manufactured by Southwest Fence Systems arelightweight and durable. This product can also be used withmulti-strand smooth electric fencing. “Horse ranches findthis very safe and effective. The first stays we made weresteel, but they weren’t resilient enough and would bend.We’ve now had poly stays in 40-foot wire gates that haveprobably been run over by trucks thousands of times whenthe gates were laid down, and they are still performing. Youcan’t do that with metal stays,” he explains.

The purpose of a suspension fence is to be flexible andresilient. “It won’t be successful, however, without a goodbrace. So we came up with a bracing system that would bepart of the fence,” explains Hanneken. “There’s no way thistype of brace will fail, unless you don’t drive the posts deepenough,” he says.

Buddy Simmons, the Executive Vice President of South-west Fence and Supply Company, says the SuperStay todayis greatly improved over the previous versions. “One bigplus is greater visibility. This is a tremendous deterrent foranimals; if they can see the fence they are less apt to crashthrough it. They can see this stay a lot better than they cansee a twisted wire stay,” he says.

Almost any type of gate will work with the braces. Han-neken designed a latch system for a wire gate that can keepa wire gate taut. The gate does not get saggy or become hardto open and close.

“The new technology in wire—and improvements intensile strength and durability—makes it to where tradi-tional bracing with wood posts may be inadequate,” saysSimmons. “We did years of research with our brace, andfield-testing. This brace is stronger than the new wire tech-nology, so these braces will always hold. If you’re using thenew high tensile 14-gauge green wire (much higherstrength than the old, softer, high-carbon wire), this braceexceeds the test for pulling that wire. This is so important,for the foundation of your fence,” he explains.

“Most brace systems are not engineered; they are just atype of brace that people have been using for years andyears and they don’t realize the wire technology has passedup the strength of the brace,” he says.

Their suspension fence is engineered for a brace everyquarter of a mile, and line posts approximately every 40 feet.By contrast, traditional fencing requires posts every eight to12 feet if there are no stays. “A suspension fence can workwith posts every 16 to 50 feet, using stays in between,” saysHanneken.

The Cal-Bred Incentive Program California-Bred Incentive Awards

www.ctba.com CALIFORNIA THOROUGHBRED • JULY 2010 41

DEPARTMENTQuestions and answers concerning California-breds and California’s lucrative incentive

awards program, which was responsible for breeders, owners and stallion owners collecting over $11.5 million for 2009.

Who qualifies for the awards?The breeders and owners of registered California-bred Thorough-

breds and the owners of California-based stallions.

What are Breeders Awards?A monetary award which is paid to the breeder of a registered

California-bred Thoroughbred finishing first, second or third in anyrace run in California and any graded stakes races conductedwithin the United States. Breeders will receive 75 percent of theremainder of the total incentive award monies after ownerawards are paid, with an individual breeder receiving a pro-ratedshare of this breeders fund. The maximum purse consideredearned in any qualifying race within this state shall be $330,000for a win, $120,000 for a second and $90,000 for a third-placefinish. Breeder awards always are paid exclusive of nomination,entry and starting fees.

What are Owners Awards?A monetary award which is paid to the owner of a registered

California-bred Thoroughbred horse which runs in qualifyingraces in California. Owners can receive at least a 20 percentbonus on the finisher’s share for finishing first through fifth in anopen allowance or overnight stake race and up to a 20 percentbonus for finishing first in an open starter allowance above$15,000 and open non-maiden claiming races with a claimingprice of $40,000 or greater in Southern California and $20,000or greater in Northern California. These levels are purposely sethigh to encourage the ownership of high-quality runners and torestrict the number of qualifiers so that the awards will functionas a major incentive. Owner awards always are paid exclusive ofnomination, entry and starting fees. They are listed in the racingprogram and will be distributed at the same time as the purse bythe paymaster.

What is the Maiden Bonus Program?A Maiden Bonus award will be paid to the owner of a registered

California-bred or registered California-sired foal for winning amaiden special weight race. The bonus amount is $10,000 inNorthern California and $20,000 in Southern California. Theseawards are paid directly to the owner approximately 30 days afterthe win.

What are Stallion Awards?In order to stimulate the acquisition in California of nationally

prominent stallions, and retain high caliber California stallions,monetary awards are paid annually to the owners of registeredCalifornia stallions whose California-conceived or California-bred get have won a qualifying race or have finished first, second,or third in a stakes race in the state or any graded stakes racewithin the United States during the year. Qualifying races are anynon-claiming races, including maiden allowance and starterallowance races, with a purse of at least $15,000, and open non-

maiden claiming races with a claiming price of $40,000 orgreater in Southern California and $20,000 or greater in NorthernCalifornia also qualify. Stallion awards are exclusive of nomina-tion, entry and starting fees. Stallions must be registered byFebruary 15 each year to be eligible for stallion awards. Stallionowners will receive 25 percent of the remainder of the totalincentive award monies after owners awards are paid, with anindividual owner of a registered California stallion (as ofDecember 31) receiving a prorated share of the stallion fundbased on the total qualifying earnings of the get during the year.The maximum purse considered earned in any qualifying racewithin this state shall be $330,000 for a win, $120,000 for a secondand $90,000 for a third-place finish. The stallion must be contin-uously present in California from February 1 to July 15, inclusive,of the calendar year in which the qualifying race was conducted,and if the sire left California after July 15 of the calendar year inwhich the qualifying race was conducted, the sire returned to andwas present in California by February 1 of the following calendaryear and thereafter remained until July 15 of that year. The Cali-fornia Thoroughbred Breeders Association (CTBA) will helpcompile data, but it is the ultimate responsibility of the stallionowner to advise that official registering agency, on or beforeFebruary 15 of any year, of any and all purses earned during thepreceding year that shall be considered in determining theamount of the stallion award to which the owner is entitled.

Does the program include races outside of California?Yes. The breeder of a California-bred Thoroughbred finish-

ing first, second or third in a graded stakes outside of California,but within the United States, will be paid a pro-rated share ofthe breeders fund. The maximum purse considered earned inany race shall be $165,000 for a win, $60,000 for second and$45,000 for a third-place finish. CTBA will help compile data,but it is the ultimate responsibility of the breeder to advise theofficial registering agency (CTBA), on or before February 15 ofany year, of any and all purses earned during the preceding yearin graded stakes races outside of this state by horses bred by thebreeder. Also, the owner of a registered California stallion whoseCalifornia-conceived or California-bred get finished first, secondor third in a graded stakes outside of California, but within theUnited States, will be paid a pro-rated share of the Stallion fundwith the maximum purse considered earned the same as thebreeders above.

When are the premiums paid?Owner awards are paid at the same time as the purse by the pay-

master. Breeder awards are paid twice a year with a conservativeadvance payment of 10 percent being paid by September 1 and thefinal payment for 2010 being paid by March 31, 2011. The stallionawards are paid prior to March 31, 2011.

Are there special racing opportunities for California-breds?

Yes. Racetracks in California are re-quired by law to offerone race per day which is restricted to California-breds. Last yearthis amounted to 285 additional racing opportunities and over$12 million in additional purses for California-breds. In addition,the California legislature has declared its intent that at least 10 percent of the total stakes purses paid at any race meeting inCalifornia be paid on stakes races restricted to registered Califor-nia-breds. This amounted to over $4.7 million in 2009. Also, in2010, California Cup XXI will be held at Santa Anita Park during the Oak Tree Racing Association meeting on Saturday,October 30, 2010. Part of the funding for California Cup XXIwill come from the incentive award category, the California-bred Race Fund. Ten percent of the total incentive awardmonies will be used for this category, with the monies fundingthe promotion of California-bred races, the supplement of purses for California-bred races and the creation of new California-bred stakes.

What is the definition of a California-bred?The definition of a California-bred is as follows:A California-bred Thoroughbred is a horse dropped in Cali-

fornia after being conceived in California, or any Thoroughbredfoal dropped by a mare in California if the mare remains inCalifornia to be next bred to a Thoroughbred stallion standingin the state. If the mare cannot be bred for two successive sea-sons, but remains in California during that period, her foal willbe considered a California-bred.

What is the definition of a California-sired horse?A “California-sired horse” is a Thoroughbred that was con-

ceived in California by a registered California Stallion. A Cali-fornia-sired horse is only eligible for entry in races restricted toCalifornia-bred or California-sired horses and is not eligible forany breeder or owner awards, except the maiden bonus awards.

How does one register a California-bred?Registration applications must be filed with the CTBA. Only

those horses which are both registered with The Jockey Cluband fulfill all requirements as outlined in the definition of a Cali-fornia-bred are eligible. The fees for registration are as follows:

1.) $100.00 for CTBA members, $125.00 for non-membersif applied for by September 30 of foal’s yearling year;

2.) $125.00 for CTBA members, $150.00 for non-members if applied for after September 30 of yearling year butbefore January 1 following; and

3.) $750.00 if applied for after January 1 of two-year-old year.If desired, application can be made in advance of receipt of

Jockey Club Certificates to escape penalty for late filing, but noactual registration will be made until certificates are available.CTBA has representation at California tracks to help facilitatelate registrations.

How can I obtain more information?Contact Doug Burge or Mary Ellen Locke at the CTBA
