    MONDAY, JUNE 12, 2017 PLETCHER SAVORING RITVO WEIGHS IN ON SO CAL HORSE POPULATION BELMONT WIN Tim Ritvo, the chief operating officer of the racing division for The Stronach Group (TSG), has recently been assigned to focus on Santa Anita Park. One of the challenges that the iconic track-- and the entire Southern California circuit--faces is the issue of field size and optimal horse population management. Twice this spring, on Apr. 27 and June 8, Santa Anita has had to call off Thursday racing because of an inability to fill entries, and the track has since received permission from the California Horse Racing Board to drop the Thursday cards scheduled for June 15 and 22. In a Friday phone interview with TDN=s T.D. Thornton, Ritvo outlined both short- and long-term strategies that TSG might undertake to bolster the racing product. An edited transcript follows.

  • American Pharoah, Pletcher, Fisher 2021 Inductees Into
    THURSDAY, MAY 6, 2021 AMERICAN PHAROAH, SUPER TRAINERS IN CALIFORNIA: THE STORY IN NUMBERS PLETCHER, FISHER 2021 by Dan Ross Over the years, the rise of the so-called super trainer has INDUCTEES INTO HOF prompted many a clutched pearl by virtue of a perceived monopoly on the sport. Anecdotally, it can certainly appear as though the same few names wield an outsized impact. But what does the data say? The TDN has crunched the numbers in California from 2007 onward. This is far from a comprehensive overview of the situation, and what emerges is a picture that can be viewed from multiple angles. On the one hand, the numbers suggest that the biggest stables in the state have indeed consolidated their positions at the top during a long period of market contraction. Yet at the same time, other indicators afford tentative encouragement for the smaller players.
