  • Delaware Agricultural Statistics Service, for His Hard Work in Designing, Implementing, Evaluating This Study and Preparing It for Publication
    Dear Friend of Delaware Agriculture: I am very pleased and proud to present the results of the 2004 Delaware Equine Study, the first ever comprehensive study of this important segment of our agricultural industry. I want to thank Governor Ruth Ann Minner, the Delaware General Assembly, the racing commissions, and the Delaware Standardbred Breeders’ Fund for providing the funding for this project. I also want to thank the Delaware Equine Council for their help and each and every person who voluntarily participated in this very important study. As clearly shown by the numbers contained within this report, the equine industry’s importance to Delaware’s economy is significant and growing. In addition to the expenditures Delaware equine owners and operations make into the state economy, our racetracks, equine show and competition facilities, breeding, training, and boarding operations attract thousands from outside of Delaware who also expend significantly into our state economy. Not only does the industry directly provide jobs for thousands of Delawareans, but also indirectly through expenditures made for feed and bedding, veterinarian services, equipment, grooming and tack supplies, maintenance and repair and other sectors of the industry’s infrastructure. Equine and equine operations make significant contributions to the quality of life in Delaware by keeping land in open space, and providing a wide diversity of recreational activities available to the general public. As spectators or participants, countless Delawareans enjoy equine racing, shows and competitions, pony rides, trail and pleasure riding, and much more. For many, the view of Delaware from atop a horse is the best one. I know firsthand how important equines are and have been socially and recreationally to my family and to the quality of life of many others in Delaware.

    In The Arsenal wins Meadowlands Pace elimination. by Ellen Harvey, Harness Racing Communications In The Arsenal fired on all cylinders in the first elimination, going wire-to-wire to win by 1- 1/2 lengths in 1:49.1. Brian Sears took the son of American Ideal off the gate first to lead the field of seven to the quarter in :27.2. Artspeak pursued him to the :56.1 half and the 1:23.3 three quarters. Dude’s The Man and driver Corey Callahan popped out from fourth along the rail just past the half to make a bid for the lead, but could not make up ground on the winner around the final turn. When the field turned for home, Sears had an unchallenged path to the wire for a spot in the $706,000 Pace on July 18. Dealt A Winner (David Miller) closed stoutly from off the pace to be second and Dude’s The Man was third. Artspeak (Scott Zeron) and Revenge Shark (Tim Tetrick) got the final two spots for the final.
