DELACOUR BARN COMES INTO ITS OWNBy Doug McCoy
Arnaud Delacour was no clueless rookie when he
arrived in the United States from France to work
for a countryman, trainer Christophe Clement.
Delacour had worked in France under Alain de
Royer-Dupre, one of the top horsemen in Europe
whose stable was full of regally bred runners owned
by the legendary Aga Khan, and had also spent a
year in Argentina as an assistant trainer.
"I didn't come to America as a novice when it
came to horses, but I did have a lot to learn about
the differences between racing in this country and
racing in Europe." Delacour said. "Learning to under-
stand how those differences affected how to train
horses here—now that was challenge. Fortunately I
was still young with an open mind, and after being
around Christophe and watching and learning from
him and others like Graham (Motion) I started to get
the feel of what it takes to succeed here.

"Because we race at a number of different courses
in Europe and every one has a different layout, much of
our preparation has to do with the type of ground the
horse will have to race over, and whether it's a left-hand
course or a right-hand course or a straight course. And
our courses go uphill and downhill.
"And of course in our races the pace is usually slow
early and fast coming home, whereas in this country most
races, especially on dirt, go fast early then slow down as
the race progresses. Adjusting my thought processes took
a while, but in time we learned more and more of what
we had to understand to success in the U.S."
It has been nine years since Arnaud and his wife and
training partner Leigh launched a public stable, and
it's readily apparent Delacour has acclimated to racing
American-style quite nicely.
The stable first began generating headlines sever-
al years back with multiple graded stakes-winner turf
sprinter Ageless, a Successful Appeal mare who won
seven of 13 turf starts for Lael Stables and was beaten
less than a length versus males in the 2014 Breeders'
Cup Turf Sprint (gr. IT). After garnering attention pre-
dominantly with turf runners for several seasons, the
Delacour outfit demonstrated it could train and develop
good dirt horses as well with its handling of Divining Rod.
Divining Rod, a 4-year-old Tapit colt owned and bred
by Lael Stables, showed his mettle in the late winter and
spring of 2015 when he finished third in the Sam F. Davis
Stakes (gr. III) and second to the then highly regarded
Carpe Diem in the Tampa Bay Derby (gr. II). A very pro-
fessional winning performance in the Lexington Stakes
(gr. III) at Keeneland earned him a shot in the Preakness
Stakes (gr. I), and Divining Rod ran a solid third behind
eventual Triple Crown winner American Pharoah in the
second leg of the Triple Crown.
This season the Delacours are in the headlines again.
The stable has 53 wins from 186 starts and their runners
have earned more than $1.9 million in purses.
Dark Nile, a PioneeroftheNile filly, overcame a racing
surface that was turned into a quagmire at Delaware
Park after a torrential downpour hit the area just prior to
the Delaware Oaks (gr. III) and captured that race to run
her career record to four wins from five starts.
A. P. Indian has won six of nine starts since moving
to the Delacour barn and turned in a brilliant per-
formance last time out when he captured the Alfred
(continued from page 1)DELACOUR BARN COMES INTO ITS OWN
Vanderbilt Stakes (gr. I) at six furlongs at Saratoga Race
Course for his fourth straight win. A. P. Indian, a 6-year-
old Indian Charlie gelding bred and owned by Green
Lantern Stables, now has to be considered among the
top sprinters in the country.
Delacour's between-race schedule with A. P. Indian
shows the adaptability of the European horseman's
training philosophy. A.P. Indian won the Belmont Sprint
Championship (gr. III) July 9, and the Vanderbilt was
run July 30. In spite of the short turnaround, Delacour
worked the horse five furlongs July 23.
"We wanted him to tell us if he was up to a race that
quick back," he said. "A. P. Indian is an older gelding and
older horses like that have tough constitutions. When
he worked, he was sharp and happy and he came back
good so we decided to run him. Now if that were a
younger horse or a filly we wouldn't have considered
that type of move. Whether it's turf or dirt, short or long,
it all boils down what's best for the horse in question."
The seven-furlong, $700,000 Forego Stakes (gr. I) Aug.
27 at Saratoga is next for A. P. Indian, and he can earn
a guaranteed starting spot in the TwinSpires Breeders'
Cup Sprint (gr. I) if he wins.
The Delacour barn also has its share of well-bred 2-
and 3-year-olds.
"It's certainly the largest group of young horses we've
ever had in training," Delacour said, "And that's a credit
to my owners, who have made a commitment to the fu-
ture by breeding their own mares to top sires and being
proactive at the sales to give us some well-bred babies
from good families.
"You could say the schoolyard's full of precocious
students, full of life and promise. This is one of the best
times for a horseman, having a chance to work with
horses that could develop into the stars of the sport." BH

MOHAYMEN CUTS BACK DISTANCE FOR KING BISHOPBy Tom LaMarra
Shadwell Stable's homebred Mohaymen, a four-
time grade II winner, will cut back to one turn for
the first time since last November in the $500,000
Ketel One King's Bishop Stakes (gr. I) for 3-year-olds
Aug. 27 at Saratoga Race Course.
The seven-furlong King's Bishop is the eighth race
on a 13-race Saturday card that features the $1.25
million Travers Stakes (gr. I), which had been the tar-
get for Mohaymen. His connections, including Shad-
well owner Sheikh Hamdan, decided to race the Tapit
colt in a sprint.
Trainer Kiaran McLaughlin said he prefers to send
the colt seven furlongs at this stage, and he added
that a victory in the King's Bishop is very good for a
potential stallion's resume.
Mohaymen broke his maiden at six furlongs in
his career debut and then won the one-turn-mile
Nashua Stakes (gr. II) last November and enters the
King's Bishop off of a troubled fourth-place finish
in the July 30 Jim Dandy Stakes (gr. II), won by the
maiden Laoban. Before that he was fourth in both
the Kentucky Derby Presented by Yum! Brands and
the Florida Derby (both gr. I).
Mohaymen, the 123-pound highweight under
Junior Alvarado, prefers to rate a bit for the first
half-mile and then make his move. There is no lack
of early speed among the other 12 horses entered in
the King's Bishop, which could play to Mohaymen's
advantage.
Trainer Bob Baffert has two colts entered for their
stakes debuts: Charles Chu's Drefong (Gio Ponti), who
has won his last three starts in California by a com-
bined 18 1/4 lengths, and Zayat Stables' Jazzy Times
(Discreetly Mine), who is two-for-four. Both have set
fast early fractions in their limited number of starts.
Jeff Drown's Summer Revolution, a Summer
Bird colt who created a buzz with easy victories in
a Belmont Park maiden special weight event and a
Saratoga entry-level allowance race this summer, will
attempt to remain undefeated in his third start for
trainer Rudy Rodgriguez. Both of his
wins have come at seven furlongs.
Also in the King's Bishop are the
first three finishers in the seven-fur-
long Woody Stephens Stakes (gr. II) in
June at Belmont: GMB Racing's Tom's
Ready (More Than Ready), Martin
Racing Stable's Fish Trappe Road
(Trappe Shot), and Calumet Farm's
Star Hill (Elusive Quality).
Tom's Ready, trained by Dallas
Stewart, went from last to first in a
12-horse field in the Woody Ste-
phens and has been working stead-
ily at Saratoga for his return. Bret
Calhoun-trained Fish Trappe Road
subsequently won the one-turn-
mile Dwyer Stakes (gr. III) while Star
Hill stretched out to 1 1/8 miles and
finished third in the Indiana Derby
(gr. II) in his last start. BH

FLINTSHIRE HEADLINES SWORD DANCERBy Eric Mitchell
Flintshire is looking to make it two-for-two in the $1
million Longines Sword Dancer Stakes (gr. IT) Aug.
27 at Saratoga Race Course.
Juddmonte Farm's homebred turf juggernaut will
be making his 16th lifetime start in a graded/group
stakes in the Sword Dancer, one of six grade I stakes
on the Travers day card. Flintshire won this race by a
commanding 2 1/2 lengths last year, his largest win-
ning margin since he won his first group stakes—the
group III Prix du Lys Longines—by three lengths June
16, 2013, at Chantilly.
The 6-year-old son of Dansili—Dance Routine,
by Sadler's Wells, is trained by Chad Brown and will
leave from post 6 carrying 124 pounds under Javier
Castellano.
"With a horse like Flintshire, we're not trying to re-
invent the wheel," Brown said. "By the time the horse
had come over to us, he had made almost $8 million,
so I'm not going to change anything with the horse.
He's settled in nicely and, fortunately, he's taken to
our program like the
class horse he is. He
came to us in outstand-
ing condition from An-
dre Fabre. He had been
managed by both Mr.
Fabre and Juddmonte
so well, that's why we
have a horse at age 6
that's still at the top of
his game."
Out of 21 starts,
Flintshire has won sev-
en times, finished sec-
ond 10 times, and was
third once. He comes
into the Sword Dancer
off consecutive wins in
the Manhattan Stakes
(gr. IT) at Belmont Park
and the July 30 Bowling
Green Stakes (gr. IIT) at
Saratoga.
Grand Tito and Twilight Eclipse, who were second
and third in the Bowling Green, respectively, will be
taking another shot at Flintshire.
Grand Tito, also 6, is owned by Grupo Seven C
Racing and trained by Gustavo Delgado. The grade
II-winning son of Candy Ride has won twice this year,
taking a $100,000 allowance race at Gulfstream Park
before taking the MacDiarmida Stakes (gr. IIT) by 1
1/4 lengths. Grand Tito will be ridden by Jose Ortiz.
Twilight Eclipse, a grade I winner last year, is
looking to improve his standing in stakes company
this year. Owned by West Point Thoroughbreds, the
7-year-old son of Purim has placed in two stakes out
of five starts this year, finishing third in the Belmont
Gold Cup Invitational Stakes. Twilight Eclipse is
trained by Tom Albertrani and will be ridden by John
Velazquez.
"Apart from Flintshire, it's the same group that
we've been running with," Albertrani said. "The horse
has got it in him, so we decided to take our chances.
It's a small field and for a million dollars. We just feel
it's worth it." BH

SALES UPDATE
NUMBERS FREE FALL AT OBS AUGUSTBy Ron Mitchell
There were no surprises at the first open session
of the Ocala Breeders’ Sales Company’s August
yearling sale, as the free-fall in prices and large per-
centage of buybacks seen the previous day during
the select sale continued during the Aug. 24 session.
Considering that the open horses have lesser
sire power and overall lighter pedigrees, and are
at a price point below that of the select horses, the
surprise would have been a dramatic turnaround in
fortunes for breeders and pinhookers.
With 385 horses cataloged for the session that
lasted nearly nine hours, OBS reported 207 head
sold for $1,770,300, which was down 43.6% from
the same session a year ago when only three more
sold for gross receipts of $3,141,200. The average
plummeted 42.8% to $8,552 compared to $14,958 a
year ago, and the $4,700 session median represent-
ed a decline of 53% from $10,000 in 2015. With 75
yearlings unsold, the RNA rate was 35.2%.
Those results fit the pattern seen during Tues-
day’s select sale in which the average fell by 9.9%
from a year earlier, the median was off 28.6%, and
the one-day session buyback rate of 38.1% was well
above the 22% figure in 2015.
OBS sales director Tod Wojciechowski said the
numbers reflect the market and continue trends
seen over the last two years.
“(The final numbers) are disappointing, but it
underscores the state of the market right now,” Wo-
jciechowski said. “Buyers are pretty discerning and
any horse they perceive as being below the upper
echelon is hard to move.”
Select session leading buyer de Meric Stables was
again active Wednesday, going to $80,000 to acquire
a striking chestnut Kantharos colt from the Summer-
field consignment of Francis and Barbara Vanlan-
gendonck. The colt, Hip 412, was bred in Florida by
Philip M. Matthews and Karen Matthews.
The session second-highest price of $65,000 was
paid by Southern Chase Farm for a Majesticperfec-
tion colt whose second dam Primaly was a champi-
on in Canada who finished third in the Breeders’ Cup
Juvenile Fillies (gr. I).
Offered as Hip 344 by Potrero Stables, the colt
bred in Kentucky by Brian Kahn and Bedouin Blood-
stock was purchased by the consignor for $20,000 at
last year’s Keeneland November sale.
Earlier in the session, de Meric went to $55,000
to pick up a gray Mission Impazible colt from the Se-
quel New York offerings. Hip 329, the New York-bred
colt is a half brother to grade III winner Vinceremos
and is from the female family of champion sprinter
Safely Kept.
The colt was bred in New York by Sequel Thor-
oughbreds and Twin Creeks Farm; the latter cam-
pained Mission Impazible, whose first foals are
2-year-olds this year.
Also selling for $55,000 to Groupo 7C Racing
Stable was another Kantharos colt, this one Hip 602
from the consignment of Big C Farm, which bred the
colt in Florida.
The sale in Ocala, Fla., concludes Aug. 25
with the second open session that begins at
10:30 a.m. EDT. BH

Breeze-Link covers all expenses for taking your yearling prospect from the breaking stage to a 2-year-olds in training sale. In return for providing all training and veterinary costs, as well as shipping and entry fees, Breeze-Link will earn equity in that yearling.
Typically, this time-honored practice can cost the breeder/owner a large equity stake in the horse. Breeze-Link is offering the same service at a fraction of the price. If your 2-year-old is injured and is unable to be sold Breeze-Link loses its investment.

MINESHAFT YEARLING HEADS HORSES TO WATCHBy Ron Mitchell
The only Mineshaft yearling in the Ocala Breed-
ers' Sales Co.'s August yearling sale is among
the horses to watch during the Aug. 25 final ses-
sion of the two-day open sale in Ocala, Fla.
Consigned as Hip 695 by JR Racing Stables, the
colt was bred in Kentucky by Twin Creeks Farm
and is out of the Tiznow mare Tizfiz, winner of
the grade II San Gorgonio Handicap and earner
of $410,944. Tizfiz, a full sister to grade III winner
and $521,040 earner Fury Kapcori, was bought by
Twin Creeks for $125,000 out of the 2014 Keene-
land November breeding stock sale while carry-
ing the Mineshaft colt in utero.
Two freshman sires whose yearlings bear
watching include Biondetti, the sire of a filly
named Twice as Magical consigned as Hip 716 by
Woodford Thoroughbreds as agent, and Dialed
In, who is represented by Hip 838, a colt being
offered by agent Beth Bayer.
The Biondetti filly, bred in Florida by Linda
S. Rosenblatt and Emmy Gaffney, is out of the
stakes-placed Texas Glitter mare Twiceasbeauti-
ful, a half sister to grade II winner Twice As Bad.
Bred in Florida by Bridle Oaks Farm, the Dialed
In colt was produced from the winning Note-
book mare Book the Devil, granddam of stakes
winner Valery Stripe.
Among the stallions with their first-crop
yearlings are Prospective and Liaison. Pro-
spective is the sire of Hip 752 (consigned by
Spring Dreams Thoroughbreds), a colt out of
stakes-placed Wingover, who is a half sister to
champion Farda Amiga. Liaison is the sire of
Hip 888, an Oklahoma-bred colt consigned by
Stuart Morris, agent, who is out of stakes-pro-
ducer Concert Strike. BH

'TRAINER PROFILING' DISCUSSED BY CHRBBy Jeremy Balan
California Horse Racing Board member Madeline
Auerbach, at an Aug. 24 meeting of the agency's
Medication and Track Safety Committee, called for in-
creased scrutiny of certain trainers through "profiling."
The Wednesday meeting at Del Mar touched on
several topics, from cell phone use by exercise riders
to drug policies in New Mexico, but during a discus-
sion about medical violations for the 2015-16 fiscal
year, Auerbach made her point.
"I'm going to be very politically incorrect. I see
nothing wrong with profiling at all," Auerbach said. "If
certain barns are doing things in a matter that is not
leveling the playing field, I have no problem looking
into it more carefully."
CHRB equine medical director Dr. Rick Arthur said
the regulatory agency is already employing some of
those tactics.
"If there is credible information, we do that," Ar-
thur said. "Frankly, if you're a more than 30% trainer,
you should expect to see us in your barn."
Asked to clarify her statement after the meeting,
Auerbach said indicators for increased scrutiny for
drug testing and investigation could be statistical in
nature.
"There are certain situations where you would be
curious as to—is there anything we're not aware of
going on? I would not paint with a broad brush," she
said. "We'd be looking for an anomaly—a constant
anomaly where they are more successful than would
statistically make sense. Let's profile that. Let's look
at that. That doesn't mean they are doing anything
wrong, but let's find out.
"I don't think it's a problem, but I don't want it to
become one, either. We're supposed to police the
game. We're supposed to make sure it's fair and
even-handed—not only for the owners and trainers,
but for the gamblers out there. We're trying to keep
the game clean, and I think we're doing a damn good
job of it."
California Thoroughbred Trainers executive di-
rector Alan Balch somewhat agreed with Auerbach's
sentiments, but also voiced concern after the com-
mittee meeting.
"The word 'profiling' has a lot of baggage because
the people who oppose 'profiling' immediately think
of racial profiling—profiling people to be inspected of
things. It has a connotation of discrimination," Balch
said. "There's a place for profiling. I have to agree.
But to the extent it is employed, it has to be very
carefully done and with great evidence, rather than
indiscriminately."
Balch also commented on potential conflicts of
interest regarding profiling.
"The one problem with profiling is that certain
people are—we all have friends and we all have
people who are not friends. The rule
should never be used to 'get' someone,
and that is a potential perception that
can come from profiling," he said.
As for the hard numbers, for the
2015-16 fiscal year the CHRB report-
ed 20 Class 1, 2, or 3 positives and
56 Class 4 or 5 medication violations
from 11,012 total post-race tests
(9,896 blood and urine tests, and 1,116
blood-only tests). There were zero
positives from 960 out-of-competition
samples and 20,676 pre-race samples
on Thoroughbreds and Standardbreds.
"Generally, the results of
out-of-competition testing shows that
the game is clean," CHRB executive
director Rick Baedeker said. BH

27 at Del Mar. A win could result in a second Breed-
ers' Cup Sprint (gr. I) bid for the 6-year-old son of
Sought After, who led gate-to-wire last out and fin-
ished 6 1/4 lengths in front.
"Visually, it was very impressive; he looks like a
different horse this year," trainer Ron Ellis said. "He
always used to be a bit of a run-off and it was nice to
see how he settled."
The result was vastly different from Masochistic's
previous start; he sustained a hairline fracture and
finished last of 14 in the 2015 TwinSpires Breeders'
Cup Sprint (gr. I). Time off led to the strong come-
back in July.
The winner of last year's Triple Bend Handicap
(gr. I) drew post 5 in a field of as many for this seven
furlong sprint. Outside Nashville, Cautious Giant,
Vyjack, and Indexical complete the field.
"I know it doesn't make for a very attractive bet-
ting race, but I don't know if I'd be very excited about
running against him right now," Ellis said.
"If he runs like I think he will, he won't run again
until the Breeders' Cup. He won his grade I last year
off a two-month layoff. ... He's not a very big horse
and he likes his races spaced." BH
PERSONAL ENSIGN LOADED WITH QUALITYBy Ron Mitchell
What the $750,000 Personal Ensign Stakes (gr.
I) at Saratoga Race Course Aug. 27 lacks in
quantity it makes up for in quality.
The 1 1/8-mile race with five 4-year-old fillies
features four grade I winners—Curalina, I'm a Chat-
terbox, Cavorting, and Forever Unbridled. The fifth
entrant, Paid Up Subscriber, is a grade II winner.
Installed as the co-highweight at 123 pounds,
Stonestreet Stables' Cavorting drew off to score
June 11 in her last start, the $1 million Ogden Phipps
Stakes (gr. I) at Belmont Park.
The Bernardini filly trained by Kiaran McLaughlin
reeled off two consecutive graded wins at Saratoga
last year, with the Longines Test Stakes, her first
grade I, followed by the Prioress Stakes (gr. II).
Eclipse Thoroughbred Partners' Curalina comes off
a 9 1/4-length romp at Saratoga over three opponents
in the July 31 Shuvee Handicap (gr. III) in the slop.
Fletcher and Carolyn Gray's homebred I'm a
Chatterbox, also at 123 pounds, secured her second
grade I win when she overcame an horrendous start
and went on to defeat older horses in the July 16
Delaware Handicap (gr. I).
Forever Unbridled, a daughter of Unbridled's Song,
has won or placed in all 11 of her starts and earned
more than $1 million. The Dallas Stewart-trained filly
won Oaklawn Park's Apple Blossom (gr. I) in April and
finished second to Cavorting in the Ogden Phipps. BH

MAN O' WAR'S TRAVERS STAKESBy Tom Hall
From the time the gates opened at Saratoga
Race Course the morning of Aug. 21, 1920, folks
poured in.
They packed the stands, not a seat nor standing
room to be had; they filled the apron and lined the
rail, a quarter-mile of teeming humanity, moving and
shifting to stake out whatever meager territory they
could find. The races started and still they came.
Track officials, desperate to release the largest
crowd ever gathered in Saratoga's spacious grounds,
opened the infield. Immediately 5,000 fans gushed
across the track, eager to gain a better vantage point
to see the race.
The race was the 51st Travers Stakes, headlined
by Sam Riddle's wonder horse, Man o' War.
Only two dared face the imposing chestnut son of
Fair Play: H.P. Whitney's entry of John P. Grier, whom
Man o' War had been hard-pressed to defeat in the
Dwyer Stakes at Aqueduct Racetrack; and Upset, who
handed Man o' War his only defeat when he took the
measure of Riddle's pride and joy in Saratoga's San-
ford Memorial Stakes when they were juveniles.
While rumors abounded that Man o' War was less
than his best, the race forthwith dispelled any doubt.
Taking the lead at the outset, the gigantic red colt set
a torrid pace, with John P. Grier attempting to draft in
his slipstream. As the short field arced into the home-
stretch, Man o' War displayed a turn of foot his rival
could not match, striding under restraint to win by
2 1/2 lengths and equaling Sir Barton's track record.
Upset finished second, and John P. Grier came third,
some seven lengths back.
Fourteen days later Man o' War won the Lawrence
Realization by 100 lengths, then added a 15-length
score in the Jockey Club Gold Cup and a victory in the
Potomac Handicap before tackling 1919 Triple Crown
winner Sir Barton in the Kenilworth Park Gold Cup, a
$75,000 match race in Canada that Big Red won by
seven.
The October issue of the Thoroughbred Horse, forerunner of BloodHorse, reported the results of that
match race accompanied by a photo of Man o' War
drinking from the race's trophy, a $5,000 solid gold
cup designed and crafted by Tiffany & Co.
Mr. and Mrs. Riddle donated the trophy to Sarato-
ga and, now known as the Man o' War Cup, it is the
official Travers trophy. Each
year a gold-plated replica is
given to the winning owner.
The first known in-
stance of it being award-
ed to the winner was
the 1936 Travers won
by William Woodward's
Granville in a very close
finish with Calumet Farm's
Sun Teddy. Presenting the
trophy to Woodward, Mrs.
Riddle is recorded by the
New York Times as saying,
"I am very glad to present
this cup to you and hope
you enjoy winning it as
much as Mr. Riddle and
I did with Man o' War in
1920." BH

RACES to watch
DELAWARE MAIDEN HAS THREE TO WATCHBy Mary Reeder
Race 6 at Delaware Park—a $34,000 maiden
special weight for juvenile fillies—attracted three
homebreds with notable pedigrees making their first
starts at 7 1/2 furlongs on the turf.
DATTT Stable will race Diana's Thrill (Artie Schil-
ler—Golden Artemis), a full sister to grade I-winning
My Conquestadory. Golden Artemis, by Malibu
Moon, has produced one other winner from two
foals to race.
Shipping in from Belmont Park, Diana's Thrill will
go to post as the second choice on the morning line
at 4-1 for trainer Christophe Clement.
Brereton Jones' Cause She's Fast, a half sister to
2012 Kentucky Oaks (gr. I) winner Believe You Can
(Proud Citizen), is also set to debut.
By Creative Cause, Cause She's Fast is out of the
unraced El Prado mare El Fasto, who has seven win-
ners from eight foals to race. Larry Jones trains.
Another of interest is the Smart Strike filly Miss
Lovely, who posted bullets in her last two works at
Fair Hill Training Center in Maryland. In her latest
move Aug. 14, she was the fastest of 12 covering
four furlongs in :48 1/5 for trainer Michael Matz.
Steven Di Iorio's runner is out of Annasan, a
winning Corporate Report mare, who also foaled
Canadian multiple graded stakes winner Bit O'
Gold, stakes winner Arco's Gold, and stakes-
placed Adjalah.
All three Kentucky-bred fillies will be taking on
a more experienced morning-line favorite, Lucky
in Malibu. ZWP Stable and Non Stop Stable's
Maryland-bred has two starts behind her with
a second-place finish in her last start Aug. 4 at
Delaware. BH

ONTARIO-SIRED BONUS PROGRAM TO CONTINUEBy Tom LaMarra
Though Ontario-sired bonus payments were re-
duced for 2016, Woodbine and the Ontario Horse-
men's Benevolent and Protective Association said the
program will continue for 2017-18.
The announcement was made a little more than
a week before the Sept. 1 Canadian Thoroughbred
Horse Society's Ontario Division Canadian Premier
yearling sale "to assure buyers of Ontario-sired
yearlings there is no intention to eliminate the On-
tario-sired bonus program during the horse's 2- and
3-year-old campaigns in 2017 and 2018."
Earlier this year, Woodbine reduced the bonuses
for 2016 because payments in previous years had ex-
ceeded projections. The 40% bonus for all open races
was reduced to 30% for allowance and maiden special
weight races and 20% for all other eligible races.
Officials said Ontario-sired bonuses totaled $3.6
million in 2014 and $4.4 million in 2015. The amount
was reduced to $2 million this year to realign the
bonus to the budgeted amount.
Purses and conditions for the 2017 race meet
at Woodbine will be hammered out by the track
and Ontario HBPA later this year. Overnight purses
through Aug. 21 during the current meet have aver-
aged $405,234 in U.S. funds.
The sale, to be held at Woodbine, is offering
$100,000 in cash and prizes to those who purchase
horses. The sale company also announced that Wood-
bine in 2017 will offer four additional races with a min-
imum purse of $45,000 for 2016 sales graduates. BH
GOFFS REPORTS STRONG SALESBy Blood-Horse Staff
The two-day Goffs UK Premier yearling sale pro-
duced increases in average and median, and
though gross receipts dropped 2% from last year, 23
fewer horses were sold in 2016.
A Dark Angel colt offered by Highclere Stud
topped the auction when he sold for £280,000
($370,561) to Peter and Ross Doyle Aug. 24, the sec-
ond day of the auction. The colt, out of a stakes-win-
ning Oasis Dream half sister to Swiss Spirit, was
purchased on behalf of Shadwell and will be sent to
trainer Richard Hannon.
Six horses brought at least £200,000, and 32
yearlings topped the six-figure mark to fuel a gross
of £17,455,000 ($23,100,541). The average of £44,078
($58,334) was up 3%, while the median increased
13% to £34,000 ($44,996). Of the 454 yearlings on
offer, 396 sold for a clearance rate of 87%.
The Hong Kong Jockey Club, represented by Mark
Richards, paid £230,000 ($304,389) for Brightwalton
Stud's Acclamation colt; it was the club's second
six-figure purchase at the sale.
"For the fifth consecutive year the Premier sale
has returned improved figures following two pow-
erful days of sustained trade at a level we have not
witnessed at Doncaster at any sale in memory," Goffs
chief executive Henry Beeby said. "Add to the mix a
real hunger from our buyers from home and abroad,
and the result is the kind of consistently strong trade
that we have witnessed over the last two days head-
lined by a record-equaling yearling at £280,000 for
the second consecutive year." BH

INDUSTRYANALYSIS with Tom LaMarra
WINNING HAND OR STACKED DECK?
Internet poker could be big business for Cali-
fornia horse racing—even though racetracks
won't be permitted to participate by creating
their own betting websites.
It's a similar set up to a system that was in
place in New Jersey for about a decade. In ex-
change for not pursuing legislation to authorize
racetrack slot machines, the racing industry—
then directly operated by the state—received
millions of dollars a year to supplement purses.
The arrangement
ended in 2010. Six
years later, New Jersey
racing and breeding is
struggling to remain
relevant in the con-
gested Mid-Atlantic
region where tracks
in neighboring states
offer casino gambling
and have far more
resources for purses.
But even when the
casino funding was
in place, there were
political efforts to reduce the supplements and
industry infighting over the amount paid to cer-
tain tracks each year.
The Internet poker bill in California would, if
gross revenue projections proved accurate, gen-
erate up to $57 million a year for racing. Accord-
ing to a California Horse Racing Board staff analy-
sis, the funds would be divvied up as such: 95.4%
for racing associations for commissions, purses
for horsemen, and incentive awards; 2.3% for a
pari-mutuel employees' pension fund; 1.15% for
a jockeys' retirement plan; and 1.15% for health
and welfare benefits for jockeys.
It's far from a done deal, however. Several
powerful tribal entities that operate casinos in
California object to the bill's "bad actor" pro-
visions designed to keep prominent Internet
poker platforms that had operated illegally in
the state in the past from being licensed. Even
the Poker Players Alliance, which supports le-
galization of Internet poker, objects to the bill's
amendments.
The organization said PokerStars.com and
Amaya.com, which have relationships with
tribes and card rooms in California, shouldn't be
singled out.
"PPA does not believe anyone should be entitled
to a license to operate Internet poker in Califor-
nia," the advocacy group said in statement issued
Aug. 18. "We feel a
license to operate is
a privilege that must
be earned through
a vigorous vetting
process and that
questions of suitabil-
ity should be left to
independent Califor-
nia gaming regula-
tors. Legislating a
'bad actor' provision
would strip regu-
lators of that inde-
pendent role."
During a committee hearing in June, the
Jockeys' Guild, California Thoroughbred Train-
ers, Churchill Downs Inc., Thoroughbred Owners
of California, California Thoroughbred Breeders
Association, Del Mar, and the Oak Tree Racing
Association spoke in favor of the bill for obvious
reasons. That $57 million each year could go
a long way—at least for several years—but it's
clearly not a panacea.
New Jersey is a prime example, as are multi-
ple states in which horse racing gets a cut of ca-
sino revenue for purses and breed development
programs. Has the system truly done its job? Or
has it merely served as a means to buy time in
the absence of a comprehensive examination of
ways to grow racing's dedicated funding source:
pari-mutuel wagering? BH
